I’m sooo excited to work on your happy Santi ask!! So I wanted to give you a happy John ask. What’s Santino doing or what is happening that’s making him smile so much? He looks so enchanted, and I just know it’s because of how much he loves Santino. John deserves all the joy for the way he takes care of his man!! 💙🖤✨

WOAAAHH OMG HE'S ALSO SMILING YAY HAPPY JOHN!! He looks so handsome, too 😭

Thank you soooo much for this beautiful ask!!! 💙🖤💙🖤

ALRIGHT YAYYY! This is also great practice for my writing, to write something just from a picture, get inspired by it! :3

They deserve sooo much happiness so I decided to write another mini fic with them being married and happy and playing with Dog!

This is gonna be really wholesome ^_^

Fetching Happiness

Winter just started a week ago, and there has been a little bit of snow that unfortunately didn't last long.

It was nice to watch it fall. Although the better view for John was watching Santino smile as he looked through the window at the snow. He genuinely looked happy. That's something that means a lot to John.

Santino is doing a lot better than he used to. He stopped smoking, has normal breakfast that's not just coffee, has lunch and dinner, goes to sleep at normal time, and gets enough sleep, so he fixed his schedule overall. He's doing a lot better, and it's all thanks to John.

Dog also seems to have a positive impact on him. He goes out with him more often, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer walks, most of the time he goes with John, but sometimes alone when John isn't home.

Today looks like a beautiful, refreshing day for a walk. John also heard that they finally allowed dogs in that one little park where they usually walked by. So, he got an idea.

"Hey, love. Do you wanna go to that park with Dog? They allow dogs now." John suggested, leaning over to press a kiss on Santino's neck who just finished his afternoon cappuccino. It's a habit he enjoys every afternoon.

"Oh, they do? Finally! It was about time." Santino always made a comment with John whenever they passed by how it would be amazing if they allowed dogs there. It's a nice little place.

"I'd love to. We can bring those toys for Dog now." Santino said, walking towards his wardrobe. It's winter, so it means he gets to wear his best suits.

It takes him a bit longer than John to get ready, of course. John already packed the dog toys and treats and got himself while Santino was almost done.

"There you go, buddy." John said as he put the collar on Dog and leashed him. Dog wagged his tail happily, excited to go for a walk with them two.

"Alright, I'm ready." Santino said, having his black jacket over his suit. He looked stunning like always, John always ends up staring at him for a bit longer out of admiration. "You look beautiful." John told him with a soft smile. "Thank you, caro. You're beautiful, too." He pressed a kiss on his lips.

"Ah, it's the suit you wore only once. It looks so good on you, bello. You should wear it more often, especially now." Santino pulled back slightly, holding his shoulders as he admired him.

"It's for moments like this." John said softly, caressing his cheek. Santino chuckled quietly, leaning into his palm.

John had a small backpack with dog toys while Santino was the one holding the leash. And Santino likes to think Dog prefers him because "See how he doesn't pull me while we walk? He loves me." And John would always anwser him, "Of course he does, darling."

The fresh, cold air felt amazing, going through their hair and inhaling it. Perfect weather for a walk.

They talked a little while walking, about their other plans, also laughed a little when Dog wanted to chase a squirrel. It's moments like this when they're both so happy just to have each other and spend time together without the stress of their work.

At the park, there weren't too many people, which was good. They found a little spot with a bench where they were further away from others so they could have more privacy.

Dog whined and wagged his tail happily, excited to finally play with his owners. "We haven't even sat down, relax a little." Santino chuckled at Dog and patted his head. "It's really pretty here. Isolated little park. It's good to get away from the city for some time." Santino said as he neatly placed his jacket next to John on the bench. "Yeah, it is." John agreed, looking around at the trees, few little birds. It's a nice place.

He unleashed Dog, he knows he has a good recall, so there won't be any problems with that. "Good dog." John praised as he patted his head, and Dog licked his hand happily.

Santino already pulled out a ball from the backpack to play with Dog. "John, do you wanna join us?" He asked, holding up the ball, and Dog noticed it, so he ran up to Santino. "I will, but in few minutes. You two start without me." John said, settling the backpack and Santino's jacket on the bench. He decided he would place the jacket over his thighs since he knows how much Santino hates when his suits get dirty.

Santino smiled at him and nodded, murmuring something sweet to Dog in Italian as he threw the ball, and Dog ran to catch it.

John didn't want to sit down because he was tired, but because he wanted to enjoy watching Santino finally being happy with his life. He looks so much happier and healthier. He's playing with Dog and having more energy for it.

How Santino laughed whenever Dog brought back the ball, barking happily for Santino to keep throwing it. He also gave him treats whenever he did the tricks he taught him. "Paw. Good boy!" Santino praised, giving him a treat. "Roll over. Buon lavoro! Bellissimo! (Good job! beautiful!)"

It felt so good to see him like this.

"Go fetch!" Santino threw the ball again and watched as Dog ran so fast to get it.

One more thing John loved about Santino's and Dog's interactions. The way Santino hug, snuggle and pat him, speaking softly to him in Italian. That's exactly what he did now.

He patted dogs back, patting his tail bone as Dog wagged his tail and panted through the ball in his mouth. Dog absolutely enjoyed this.

John couldn't help himself but smile and laugh at seeing them like that. Seeing his husband finally laughing because he truly felt happy. He wishes he could watch him like this every day, every minute, because it's such a good feeling and his heart feels warmer with so much love.

"Why are you laughing?" Santino asked with a smile. "I'm happy you're doing better, love." John said softly, looking at each other with sympathy and love. Santino huffed a small chuckle, blushing a little. "It's all thanks to you, bello." Santino smiled.

"C'mon, join us!" He called for John. And John, of course, joined him. Joining his husband and their dog.

A man like John managed to change Santino to a better and healthier person. He cares so much for him, he himself also feels much happier lately.

Kissing him softly, telling him how he's so glad that he's enjoying this. And Santino replied with another more longer kiss.

However they got interrupted by Dog nudging the ball into John's hand.

"It's your turn now." Santino told him, chuckling a little. "I suppose so." John said softly, taking the ball and throwing it.

They're both happy. Finally happy with their lives.

yess but also at this point I'm pretty sure he's definitely going to be important in the u20 wc because there's no way they gave him such a cool moment just to scrap him����😭

ALSO I DID BETTER THAN I EXPECTED YIPPEEE I LISTENED TO A RECORDING AND I DIDN'T WANT TO DIE

it was great I had a lot of friends in the audience and they were really supportive overall!! I think I could've done better but meh my voice is still recovering (no longer sick! just sound weird!) so ackshually☝🏻🤓 not my fault if I sounded less than stellar

today was great!! though my teachers just keep piling on assignments so my weekend will be hell (again) 🫠🫠 wbu?

oh yeah i do think he’ll be important next arc!! all of the characters that have meta vision will almost def be starting on the u20 wc team DLFHDJS i just think that in terms of nel rankings he won’t necessarily improve a TON (but he’s def making it through no doubt abt it)

OMG YAYYY I’M GLAD IT WENT WELL!! i’m sure you sounded great and ngl if you sound good sick that means you’re probably AMAZING when you’re well so that’s smth to be proud of for sure!!

ughh so real it’s finals week for me this week and i feel good for most of them except for one class (where i do still feel like i’ll do fine but the professor is a really strict grader so def have to study LMAO) after that i’m completely free though which is a relief because it means i can get back to writing again!! i haven’t posted anything since like mid october (besides the one au with nagi but that wasn’t reader insert so i’m sure the majority of my followers didn’t care abt it LMAAOAO)

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 206

Bloodlines/The Name of the Doctor

I just realized that on Sunday I get to watch the 50th anniversary special. On this Good Omens 2 weekend, I get to see David Tenant a whole bunch because he’ll be back in The Day of the Doctor!! (Sometimes being a whole week behind because imdb decided to not include some episodes is kind of a good little serendipitous thing. I was MEANT to watch that this weekend!)

“Bloodlines”

Plot Description: The brothers investigate stories of Mafia-like monster families under Chicago’s streets and meet Ennis, a would-be hunter of monsters

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: would I survive in a high end restaurant/club full of supernatural creatures?? Probably not. Oh, and girlies don’t fair well in spn pilots…

I think this is one of those back door pilots for spin-offs they never did

I’m not saying there isn’t room for breather episodes, especially in 20+ episode seasons, nor am I saying trying to jumpstart a spin-off series BUT MAYBE DONT DO IT THIS CLOSE TO THE SEASON FINALE. There’s like one or two episodes before the season finale, why are we doing this NOW? We just got done with a mostly breather episode but that had SOME relevance. Why are we derailing?! I’m just not interested in these monster mafia families

I’m promised the boys at some point, so I’ll jump back in when we see them. Otherwise,…it’s not worth saying much about this if it’s not going anywhere

Oh hey! It’s the boys!! Not five minutes after I said I wasn’t gonna say anything more. Cool. It’s weird that they…are INCREDIBLY straightforward to this guy they don’t know AT ALL

This COULD have been a cool concept, but nope. Thanks CW.

Don’t you love how they changed the lore about shapeshifters in their own show?? They used to shed their skin when they shifted into someone else, but now? They can just do what they want when they want. Awesome

WHAT KEEPS ATTACKING EVERYONE?? Omg plead PLEASE don’t tell me another girl died

Ok, she’s not dead…yet. I don’t have high hopes. I’m banking on her dying to set up the unbreakable bond between Ennis and David (although David lost his brother already. I did forget about that) So maybe they save her together

It’s just some dude stirring shit up?

This could have been a cool show…the number of things they could have done and now will never do

“The Name of the Doctor”

Plot Description: The Doctor has a secret he will take to his grave, but it’s about to be revealed

It’s so funny and just like him that Moffat thought at all that he should be the one to reveal the Doctor’s name

I think Vastra/Jenny/River would be make for some good fanfic

You know……….it IS really weird that he’s been all flirty with Clara this season while STILL VERY MUCH MARRIED TO RIVER. It’s like they just remembered she exists…I’m…

Jenny noooooooooo. These gents are really off putting

So now we’re on Trenzalor trying to save Vastra (or not-vriska) and Strax

But…that’s not possible. River was saved by Ten. Is this just an empty grave situation?? Or is time being rewritten?? Oh good. It’s a secret entrance to the tomb. And I mean that genuinely. I’m glad Moffat wasn’t allowed to rewrite Ten’s time

Yayyy!! They saved Jenny!!

Ok. Wait. Because now they’re acting like River’s a ghost and has been a ghost for a long time and there’s almost no reason for it because she’s ALSO A TIME TRAVELER. Moffat, you fucker. What are you even doing??

I’m just going to say it, Griffin McElroy did the “mad dash through a place of death filled with ghosts and disembodied voices speaking in rhyme” and this episode doesn’t even have Upsy…it does have the same number of scaled lesbians though, which is impressive

Is the entire reason there’s a weird backup ghost River that only Clara can see so that someone can say the Doctor’s name and no one hear it besides the future TARDIS? Unimpressive

Ugh. Hearing Nine’s “Fantastic!” I miss him

The Great Intelligence had the potential to be cool but he’s just kind of lame because I know there are like…at least six more seasons.

There both so weirdly guarded. On one hand, yes “~*~spoilers~*~” but omg

Cool coolcoolcool writing that Clara “was born to save the Doctor, but the Doctor is safe, so her story is over”

Okay but the GLIMPSE of the War Doctor!!!!!!

The Miys, Ch. 133

Whew. I finally get a chance two queue chapters and add to my buffer! Yayyy me! Kind of long author’s note, feel free to skip to the readmore.

Seriously, though, I managed to only work 5ish hours of OT this week instead of the 25/wk I’ve been clocking the last several weeks. It’s been a ride, for sure. Thank you for bearing with me through this frankly-insane time.

@baelpenrose and I have had more chances to write together in real-time, which considering both our schedules and living 3 timezones apart has been a delightful miracle and I will never take it for granted ever again.

@anotherusrname and @the-raven-fae have been very encouraging of my efforts to work less, which - it turns out - has been a huge concern for oh, my entire family... Sorry I worried you all. :(  I’m trying to do better! Swear I have vacations coming up!

@charlylimph-blog has just been... such a support. She literally texts me every night at 10pm my time to tell me to take my most important medications. Sainted Eldritch Fae cannot be appreciated enough, and somehow I have two.

Final shout outs go to @snickerfritz, @just-a-pastel-bunny, and @eldritchmoths for love-bombing my inbox recently. Seeing anyone speed-run through this story lets me know that I’m not wasting my time.

Don’t forget to check out the podcast!!  AhhhhH! I want to scream in delight each time a new episode is released!

Focus, I told myself, breath coming in short pants. It was easier said than done, with sweat dripping into my eyes while I constantly tried to pay attention to where I was safe to move to without putting myself in the line of fire. Seeing the incoming hit, I ducked and pivoted to my left - 

“Oof,” I grunted as I took a blow to the ribs.  I managed not to be winded or fall, but I was pretty sure something just broke.

A voice taunted me. “You have got to get better at keeping your guard up.”

“I am,” I panted. “My ribs are a lot tougher than my face.” Refusing to be distracted, I jumped back from the next hit and started circling wide.

“And I hit harder than your sister.”

Yeah, well broken ribs are for bitches, I thought to myself. It wasn’t like I hadn’t had a broken rib before. I was fine. Out of reflex more than forethought, I pivoted my leg and bent my knee to absorb the shock of the next hit - this one to the thigh. Grabbing the offending leg, I held tight around the calf with one arm before shoving upwards on the heel with the other, dropping him onto his back.

Unfortunately, the kick to the chin I got as a result also landed me on my back.

Like an exceedingly annoying ninja, Arthur sprang to his feet before holding out a hand to help me up off the floor. “You should have expected that.”

I scowled and rubbed my jaw. “Why am I sparring with you again?”

“Because Tyche’s busy and I’m the only other person willing to actually hit you hard enough to teach you anything.”

Rolling my neck, I tried to relieve some of the tension that was setting in. “It’s not like aliens are going to know Terran hand-to-hand combat,” I pointed out as I took my stance for the next round.  This time, his movement was a lot more fluid, which told me he was going for grappling instead of striking.

The kick I almost took to the face told me that his stance was also a lie.

There wasn’t any time for trash-talking, this time around. I could barely find time to breathe as he aggressively attacked, although I barely managed to avoid him actually touching me.  I wasn’t an idiot - if he got a hold of me, I would be waking up from a forced nap with a sore throat.  However, after what felt like an eternity and was probably only about five minutes, the odds of keeping it up were dwindling.  My heart was pounding in my ears, my lungs were searing with the effort of trying to keep up with it, and there wasn’t a chance in hell that I had enough stamina to outlast him.  The man ran a 5k a day as a warm up.  Even more humiliating, I had spent the entire time running and dodging without even a chance to mount a counter to any of it.

Finally, I was spent.  Every time I tried to raise my hands, they shook so badly that there was no chance of landing a hit, even if I had the opportunity.  My legs were trembling, my knees burned, and the broken rib felt like someone was twisting a hot blade into my side.  Feeling defeated, I dropped my hands and squared my feet up.  The blow to the solar plexus was unsurprising, as was the chokehold he put me in as soon as I doubled over.  Unfortunately, it wasn’t the first time this had happened while sparring with him - or even with Tyche.

I was so frustrated. No matter how much I sparred with either of them, I felt like I hadn’t gained any ground.  The whole point to training so hard was to prove that I actually could defend myself. Councilor or not, the thought that I was going to be shoved in the back of the Archives in the event of an attack was insulting.  Not only that, it was even more insulting than the time I had round-the-clock guards. No one else had to put up with this, why did I?

“Tap out, Sophia,” he warned me.  He wasn’t squeezing yet, but he had his arm locked tightly enough that I couldn’t get my head out.  When I silently refused, he sighed and applied pressure, pissing me off even more.

I’m not helpless, I growled at myself. The anger at myself and the frustration with the situation flooded my mind, and I started pulling against the hold with my legs.

“You’re going to break your neck,” he grunted as he leaned the opposite direction.  I may not have had his stamina, but I could also leg-press nearly five-hundred pounds. He could let go, or lean back, no other options.

Spots were floating in front of my eyes when I felt his posture change, and as soon as I felt it, both my arms swung up.  Assuming I was going to hit his face, he leaned back even further…

Right into the path of my cupped hands, which hit his ears hard enough to bruise both my hands.

“Ow, FUCK!” he shouted, the pain of his ruptured ear drums distracting him just enough that I was able to pull my head free.

As soon as I stood, he reached up to one of his ears, only to pull his hand away and see blood. “Son of a - “ he stopped when he realized what happened. “Huh. That… that is a pretty neat trick.”

Oh, just you wait, I thought to myself.

Sure enough, as soon as he tried to shift his weight for another assault, he stumbled. Trying to compensate, he made it even worse and ended up falling flat on his back.  Dropping his head to the mat in defeat, he splayed his limbs out to try to gain some sense of equilibrium. “Oh that is cool,” he muttered, obviously for my benefit since he couldn’t exactly hear himself.

I managed to get him to his feet and drag him to the corridor as the medical transport arrived - there was no way I was going to try to walk him to a medbay.  Once his eardrums were restored - along with his internal balance - Arthur stood and stared me down. “That was a dirty trick, Sophia.”  Without warning, I was suddenly pulled into a crushing hug. “I am so proud of you.  Do that, a lot of it.”

“Can’t breathe,” I gasped.

He released me, stepping back. “Right. The rib.”

I tried to wave him off. “It’s just a broken rib. I’ll be fine.”

“Medbay.” He gestured around the room. “Stop being stubborn.”

“You’re overreacting - “

“If you trip and fall, which you will, you can puncture a lung.”

“Hasn’t happened yet.”

“It’s been broken all of ten minutes. Medbay. Now.”

I glared at him. “If you think this is the first broken rib I’ve had, you’re insane. It’s not even the fiftieth.”

“Stop reminding me that I can’t go back to Earth and kill someone who is hopefully dead anyway. You made me go to the medbay for some broken teeth after the fight with Jokul. Also, with your luck it’s a miracle you haven’t killed yourself by breathing, and I am not going to be the one who’s next up on Tyche’s shit list. Go. Medbay. Now.”

I opened my mouth to argue again, but was cut off by swearing and Arthur literally just picking me up and dropping me in the closest berth.  With exactly zero shame, he pinned me down by my shoulders and hips while one of Noah’s avatars held me down from the other side and scanned, then healed, my broken rib - both of them, it turns out. Finally, they both let go of me.  “Can I leave now?” I asked petulantly.

“Only if you tell me the eardrum trick so I can figure out how to use it on other species.”

Sliding off the berth and to my feet, I ran a hand through my hair. “Easy. You just cup your hands so there aren’t any cracks between your fingers, like this.” I demonstrated. “And then try to clap your hands through someone’s head, right over the ears. Force of the air ruptures the ear drums, and the trauma reaction kills their spatial sense and balance.” When he tilted his head at the simplicity of it, I shrugged. “Women’s self-defense classes.”

“Ah,” he nodded. “Speaking of women and self-defense, we have got to get you more in the habit of striking and blocking with your legs.  Pretty sure you’d kick like a horse if you tried.”

“If I kick you, I’ll break something.”

“Your legs are a lot tougher than you think - “

“I meant something on you,” I clarified, staring at the ground.

I didn’t look up, but I could hear the savage grin in his voice at what he said next. “Oh, we have got to try this.” When my head snapped up, sure enough, he was smiling. “If you can land a kick on me, I won’t even be mad if you break something. But that’s not what I meant.”

“You want me to test it on someone else?” That wasn’t exactly a better option.

He rolled his eyes. “Maverick literally does calibrations for a living. Pretty sure he’s got something that measures impact force.  Then we do the math from there.”

“I feel like I’m on an episode of MythBusters,” I grumbled as we headed out of the Medbay and back towards my office.

“I know!” he agreed enthusiastically.

I forgot to send on my voting story. Ok so my brother and I both got mail in ballots, and let me tell you how we both forgot to mail it in so we just thought to bring them to our voting location. The lady there kinda yelled at us? She was confused and didn't know how to go about it. And honestly I just took it because we were the idiots who didn't mail in our ballots. We had to rip them up and they just us new ones to fill out in person and submit. Not exciting, but a story for void snippet. 👀

Anonymous said: Hi!! I'm so excited for void! I voted today around 30 minutes before the polls closed in my neighborhood because I had to wait for my dad and brother to get home from work since they wanted to go all together hehe. It was a pretty fast process! We just pressed buttons on screens (compared to last election where we had to bubble in everything by hand) plus, I got to keep the stylus that they gave us and it works on phones too! 🥰🥰 Thank you! I love your writing so much 💜💜💜

Anonymous said: VOTES FOR VOID??? I love democracy and I love VOID! So since May I've (temporarily) moved back home from New York to Indiana RE: covid; I've voted absentee for the both the primaries and presidential election (I'm still in IN rn...blah). I voted early and mailed in my ballot for the presidential election (about 3 weeks ago). Made sure my family was voting (brother mailed it in, mom dropped off a ballot, and dad did early voting) and encourage them to put up a Biden sign in our yard <3

Anonymous said: HI BEE! I ALSO VOTED TODAY! IM 21 SO THIS IS MY FIRST TIME VOTING FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION (my 18th bday didnt make the cutoff since im a december bday) im so happy to have done my part! I made sure to study up on the judges and policies and everything! Luckily the polling place didn't have a line so i was able to get in, get my ballot, and fill it in right away! I even dragged my mom and cousin to come with me. I made a joke on snapchat to encourage my friends to vote too. It was a pic of my "i voted" sticker with a caption saying "omg youre so sexy when you vote aHaha" -🦙

Anonymous said: this is my first time doing this so, so i hope i’m sending this correctly! i voted early in late september by mail! i live in a swing state, so it’s really important for me to vote and not waste time!! bc of my age, this is my first time voting so i’m really nervous 😅

Anonymous said: I voted by email! I'm overseas so I wasn't sure if my ballot would actually make it through in time, so I decided to go electronically. Had to sign a waiver saying I understand that my vote won't be anonymous but I haven't been given a reason to suspect voter suppression/fraud in my state, so I'm happy I think...!

Anonymous said: hi, i voted early on oct 24th. my absentee ballot didn't come in, so i had to travel back home to vote (~3 hour drive). when we got there, there was a ton of people outside the polling place, but no lines, so i was in and out pretty quick. it was my first time voting, so i had all the candidates i was voting for written down on a tiny receipt so i wouldn't forget 😅. my mom was with me, so she voted too. took a pic with my sticker (mask on for extra covid-ness) and went home. drove back the next afternoon!

whippedforkook said: Hi Bee. 💕 I voted in early October - nearly a month ago! 😱 It’s been really weird with all the lead up to the election because it felt like it should have been done once I cast my ballot! A lot of my friends have volunteered to get out the vote: writing postcards to voters, texting, phone banking, working the polls, curing ballots. I didn’t volunteer at all this year, but I hope that all of my friends’ hard work and everyone else’s is enough. I’m also hoping and praying that I will be in a better place mentally for 2022 so that I too can volunteer. Our work starts with 2020 not ends. 💕 Wishing you well. 💕

begineuphoria said: I went and voted last Friday as it was our last early voting day. No way was I going to wait until today with the crowds of people in my area that still act as if masks are somehow infringing on their rights. 🙄 It was a rather normal experience for the most part. Other than having to use a coffee stir stick to press the buttons on the machine to vote. In and out within five minutes.

Some nasty orange man supporters were rude but everyone else was pretty nice. A really cute older couple was playing soccer with pine cones and kicked it towards me to play too. Not the worst time tbh.

Extremely exhausting and took forever to research all the propositions - they are notoriously tricky in hiding their flaws and one side tends to outrageously outspend the other. But in the end I felt really good about my research and decisions! No need for you to post a snippet for this story - would like to save that to read sometime in the future ;) Thank you so much for doing this!

I went last Thursday and it was chaotic bc I kept going past the poll place but the line was soooo long so my mom called me and woke me up like "its pouring rain and the line is super short get up I'm gonna pick you up" so thats the story of how I got dressed in 5 minutes and dragged my ass to vote in the rain <3

Anonymous said: i voted early on thursday it was cold and rainy but i went in the late afternoon and thankfully the only waiting i did was a few minutes for an elevator i got very lucky and while waiting for the results is awful the relief that came from voting in general was just great

Anonymous said: Wheeew the polls just closed and I finally got to cast my ballot yayyy ( I was the one working the polls from earlier) it’s been a really really long day and we actually had surprisingly good turnout. I saw a woman try to vote for someone else who claimed to be “helping” and I saw a woman who I’m pretty sure was on some typa something 👀 Overall though I really I’m really thankful for people like you who encouraged people to get out and vote. I hope the odds are in our favor❤️🤞🏼

chelsea-chee said: Hello Bee! Today surprisingly my elderly father wanted to vote so I brought him out with me. He only cared about voting for Biden, which meant I got to help decide who he should vote for with the rest of the candidates and amendments! Say hello to baby bee for me as well! 💖

Anonymous said: Okay I gonna got a chance to vote today and the process wasn’t that bad actually. I went in just now and it wasn’t that busy( thankfully) so no lines. I’m from Texas and it’s gonna be almost impossible to turn this state blue, but every vote counts! I love that you are getting people to vote and also sharing your experiences as well!

owl-orgy said: Dropped off my mail in ballot at a polling location! I originally wanted to vote early in person because I was worried my signature wouldn’t match closely enough but ended up just turning it in and double checked today to make it said “ballot accepted and counted”!

Anonymous said: I voted in person this afternoon, better late than never I guess. I was gonna go last week but then I got cramps from hell. There was no one in line in front of me, I think my county early voted because it was packed everyday the last few weeks

Anonymous said: I voted early a couple weeks ago. Exciting thing though that did happen was I got both my parents to vote for their first time ever.

Anonymous said: I had a mail in vote. So, I filled it out and dropped it in at the ballot box at my library. (I also checked out books for the first time in years, so I had fun!)

bubblyjiminnie said: I literally just finished voting. Lucky for me, the line and wait wasn’t very long, and it was a nice enough day that the short amount of time I had to spend in line outside of the building wasn’t too bad. My social anxiety when it comes to stuff like this tends to be high but that’s what I get for waiting until Election Day instead of going the mail in route. This was only my second time voting, but I’m glad that I did 😊

Anonymous said: I turned my ballot in last week :) I’m not a big fan of crowds and I hate make spur of the moment choices but despite that the first time I was able to vote back in 08 my Mom pressured me into voting in person because “you’d have to experience it at least once in our life”. And ever since then I comfortably vote by mail. I take my time, do all of my research, listen to music, and best of all don’t have to deal with people.

Anonymous said: here in Washington state it’s super easy to vote. I dropped my ballot off in mid-October and it’s already been accounted for! Mail in voting and drop box voting is fantastic and provides equal opportunity and access. Sad to see some people in red states misinforming Americans about it! We also have a referendum for implementing mandatory sex ed, including teaching respect, empathy and consent as part of the curriculum so I was happy to vote yes on that too!

unionrox006 said: I voted about 2 weeks ago by doing a mail in ballot. The other eligible to vote members of my household did the same. We chose to vote by absentee ballot because both my mom and I have an autoimmune disorder, so we have to be careful going out in the pandemic. Tbh, the ballot layout was a bit confusing at first as was all the paperwork and required IDs and documents. But my dad explained it to me and we got them filled out and mailed off. Kinda mad I didn't get a sticker for it though

bluetostone said: Love this and so excited for the next chp of void! I early voted a few weeks ago and because I live in a pretty rural county I was in and out of my polling place in a few minutes. No sticker though 😢. I live in a swing state so it could go either way in terms of delegates. Just praying everyone is safe tonight as the results roll in...though, won't we not know for sure for a couple of days or weeks?

Anonymous said: My mom, sister, and I received our early voting ballots a while ago and I took the longest to fill mine out because it was making me anxious :,( but I did return it before it was due. I checked our ballot statuses and mine and my moms were accepted but my sister’s said they hadn’t received hers back. Then she got another ballot so she filled that one out too and I took it yesterday 👍👍 I think she got two because she changed her address late so they sent two?

vixsynsblog said: Non-interesting voter story: I'm paranoid and live in a highly divided area, so I filed mail-in ASAP, mailed it a few days after cause neighbors are nosy and don't understand boundaries. Was able to track my ballot through my credit company, which was nice. Only thing I was missing was my sticker. Never got one✊😔. So I had to improvise and write it in pen on my disposable mask. I'm working all this week so if riots break out from either side, I'll be at work. Prayers for the safety of others🙏

Waaah!!! Thank you all for voting!! You are all my heroes. I am so grateful and proud of you. I’m sorry I ran out of time to respond to you individually. I’m going to drop two big scenes from Chapter 7 in gratitude (one of which will be familiar to my patrons and one won’t). I’m hopeful I will have the whole next chapter out very soon. Love you all!

Void spoilers below the cut.

When you wake up in the morning, there are still no signed HR forms in your messages. Had you been a fool to think they were interested? How much time does it take to decide such a thing? Perhaps just by putting the idea out there explicitly, it had lost all of its taboo appeal. 

There is a calendar reminder waiting for you: Today is chili pepper pollinating day. At least this gives you an excuse to talk to Hoseok. 

You find the science officer in the lab as always, sitting with his knee up against his chest. Hoseok doesn’t look well. He’s got dark circles under his eyes.

“Hey, um…” You shuffle your feet. Want to fuck me? No wait…“You don’t look good. Were you here all night?” you ask.

He blinks at you, bleary-eyed. “Um, was I? Yeah.. I suppose. Lost track of time.” He rubs his eyes, before looking you up and down, then casting his gaze back to the floor. 

All you want to do is ask about the forms. Or the meeting. Or what he thinks of you now. But you don’t. “I need to pollinate the chili peppers today.” Usually Hoseok is the person who assists with that. “But I can get one of the other guys to do it if you need the sleep.”

“No!” Hoseok lurches forward, standing up a bit to rapidly and needing to put his hand back on the bench to steady himself. “I mean, I’m fine.” 

You should disgaree with him. He is exhausted. But you’d like more time to talk to him. 

Pollinating the chili peppers is both time-sensitive and time-consuming, hence why it took two of you to get the job done. There were no insects on your ship to do the job for you and if they didn’t get pollinated, they wouldn’t bear any fruit. Your chili peppers were your favorite crop. Not only a vital source of Vitamin C, but all your food benefitted from having a bit of spice added to it. 

You and Hoseok head for the greenhouse together. The intital set-up gives you something to talk about in the beginning. Hoseok gathers the pollen from one flower onto a paintbrush, then hands it over to you to paint onto the stigmas of each little flower on the next plant in the line.

Slowly the conversation dries up as you fall into a silent rhythm. Other than just enjoying the chili peppers, you must admit that this was one of your favorite tasks on the ship because of the high likelihood that the two of you would brush hands peridically. Always gave you butterflies. But today he seems extra intent on keeping his distance from you. Was he disgusted by you now? His hands are trembling.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” 

His hand twitches so hard that a little rain of yellow pollen cascades onto the floor. He curses in frustration before turning to face you. “Are you sure you’re okay?” 

“Um, yes, I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be?”

“This, um, plan of yours…” he gestures to the vague tension in the air. “It doesn’t feel like you.”

“I’m trying to save the mission. That has always been my top priority.”

“Yeah, I’m still not clear on how this benefits the mission.”

“Yoongi said…” you start to say, but are cut off my Hoseok’s derisive snort. 

“Look, if you’re in love with Yoongi, just go date him, okay? Don’t feel obligated to include the rest of us out of pity.” 

You frown. “I’m not… I’m not in love with him. It’s just sex. Just biology.” 

“This isn’t you!” Hoseok argues back. “You hated the idea of anyone of us ever treating you that way. And now you just want all of us to… to… use you like that?”  He splutters out the end of the sentence.

“No one is using me! This is my plan! I’m in charge!”

He sighs. “Well, I can’t be a part of it. Excuse me.”

Taehyung finds you in the gym. It’s good to see him up and about, even if his arm is still in a sling. 

“Hey, so I need to talk to you about this, um, ape sex thing.” He fishes awkwardly into his pockets and pulls out his tablet.  Maybe Jimin was right. Is Taehyung going to be the first to take you up on your offer?

You pause your jog on the elliptical machine. You wish you weren’t so sweaty and gross for this conversation. Taehyung is such an intimidatingly attractive man with those strong eyebrows and that perfect skin. 

Taehyung opens up the tablet and flips to the form. It’s happening. He’s going to sign the form. Shit. Then what will you do? It’s one thing to say you want to have sex with your whole crew, but what if he’s hoping to go right now? You need a shower. 

Taehyung has really nice hands. Long strong fingers delicately navigating the touch screen. It seems totally improbable that a man this attractive would be into you, even if you were the only woman in the universe. It just adds to your suspicions that hormones are driving everyone crazy. Perhaps if you slept with him once, he’d lose all interest. 

He finds the form and then turns his gaze up to you, staring you down with those eyes. It’s a good thing that Taehyung rarely turns his full gaze on you, because it is almost too much to bear. Shit, is he just going to sign it? Is he waiting for you to give him some sort of signal?

“You can’t do this to Jimin,” he says.

“What?” Not what you were expecting. “Do what to Jimin?”

“This.” He gestures over the HR form. “Signing these forms with everyone. Having sex with everyone. You’re going to destroy Jimin.”

“Jimin’s the one who suggested this whole thing in the first place.” It’s a lie. You know its a lie. Or at least a gross exaggeration. But Jimin was the one who first brought up the idea of sharing. All for the benefit of the man in front of you now. 

“No way.” Taehyung scoffs, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow. “No way was it Jimin’s idea that you sleep with the whole crew.” 

“Well…” You can’t bear his gaze anymore and look down at the floor. “He wanted me to sleep with you.”

That surprises Taehyung. He puts down the tablet. “What? Why would he want that?”

This is awkward. “He, um, thinks you’re in love with me.”

“What?” There is only surprise on Taehyung’s face. It’s actually a relief to see that Taehyung is just as shocked by that idea as you were. “Why does he think that?”

“I don’t know…” You feel kind of dumb now. Of course, Taehyung doesn’t feel that way about you. Look at him. “Cause you told him you were jealous. Cause you can’t stand to be in the same room as us…”

Taehyung bites his lip. “Oh, um, shit, sorry, that’s not what I meant.”

If Taehyung isn’t jealous of Jimin... 

“Taehyung…” He looks up, biting his lip. “What did you mean? Who are you jealous of?” 

Taehyung’s eyes widen, but he doesn’t say anything. Instead he reaches for his microphone and mutes it. Out of respect, you mute yours as well. He glances toward the camera in the corner of the room, then stands up and begins unzipping his jumpsuit. 

“Um…” You are distracted by the golden arms that peak from either side of the tank top as the zipper reaches his groin. “What are you doing?”

“Need something to block the camera.”

“We have towels,” you mutter.  But he’s already stripping out of his shirt. The musculature of his back ripples. He hangs the shirt off of the camera to block the rest of the room from view. 

“Yeah, but this way anyone watching will think we’re having sex.” His chest is just as attractive as his back and you flush at the sight of it. Mercifully, he zips back into his jumpsuit as he returns to his position in front of the exercise machine. 

“You want them to think we’re having sex?”

“Don’t you? It plays right into your whole save the mission with bonobo sex plan.”

“I suppose.” Though the plan was also supposed to be that there would be no more secrets between the crew. “What plan of yours does it play into?”

“The one where Jimin doesn’t realize I’m in love with him.”

“You’ve never tried to tell him?”

Taehyung laughs wryly and shakes his head. “How would that conversation go? Hey man, I know we’ve known each other for years and I’ve already seen you naked and that you just think of me as a friend, but I’m in love with you. I know that’s awkward but now you have to spend the next twelve years with me, knowing that I’m attracted to you when you don’t feel the same way.” Taehyung sighs. “Doesn’t sound like a good plan to me. If he doesn’t feel the same way, I’ve just ruined the friendship for nothing and then I don’t even have that.”

“Yeah… I get that.”  There’s something touching about realizing that Taehyung has been fighting the same battle as you for the last two years. 

“I couldn’t tell anyone before launch because what if they wouldn’t let me go then? You know?”

“Yeah, the director wasn’t big on sending anyone who might ‘complicate’ the mission.” The two of you share a sad knowing smile. 

“Yeah… And I thought it would be fine, you know? I like women too. I’d just date women until launch and no one would know. I wasn’t planning on falling in love with my roommate.”

“I don’t think any of us really knew what this would be like.”

“I knew it was going to be a problem. I should have pulled out…” 

Your mind flashes back to that moment of doubt when Hoseok talked you into still coming on the mission.

“But I couldn’t just let him go off into space without me. Even if he’d never feel the same way, at least he’d still be in my life.”

The emotion in Taehyung’s words makes your eyes begin to mist. “You really do love him.”

“Yeah,” Taehyung sighs again. “But he’s in love with you.”

“Well, he thinks he is.”

“What does that mean?”

“He only feels like that about me cause he thinks I’m the only option.”  You wonder if maybe he would feel differently if he knew about Taehyung’s feelings. 

Taehyung frowns and shakes his head. “You don’t give him enough credit.”

“Oh come on, you know him. How many women did he date while we were in training?”

“A few…” 

“And how many of them was he in love with before he found the next one?”  

Taehyung bites his lip. He can’t really argue with that. “So why are you with him then, if you don’t think it’s real?”

You shrug, rubbing your arm. “He wants me. It’s nice to feel wanted, I guess.”

“You know you could have that with any man on this ship right?”

You scoff. “They’re all suffering the same delusion. It’s only-available-vagina syndrome. I just want us all to fuck and get it out in the open. Maybe if we could get it out of our system, they would see I’m nothing special. And then we can get back to the mission.”

Taehyung eyes you up and down. “You don’t give yourself enough credit either.”

You shrug. “You wait and see. Jimin will get bored of me. They all will.”

The two of you both slump backwards in your seats, mulling over your shared woes.  Taehyung bends down and picks up the tablet again. “So what should I do with this?”

“Obivously, you don’t have to sign it. I should have realized that not everyone would be interested.”

“Jimin thinks I’m in love with you?”

“Yeah…”

“Is it okay if we let him think that for now? At least until I figure out how to tell him the truth?”

“Okay.”

Taehyung smiles and signs the bottom of the form, then sends it to you. Your phone lights up with a message. “Thank you,” he murmurs before he leaves.

genre: best friends to lovers au

type: fluff, slight comedy, slight angst

words: 3.6k

A/N: hope you’ll enjoy this one shot with our sunshine; thank you for reading it! 

I was in my class when I got a message from my best friend telling me that he needs my help in the kitchen.

 It’s not something new that Felix wants my help, but it’s a bit concerning the fact that he wants to cook, because that can end up either with one of us getting injured or the house burned down. Regardless that thought, as always I said that I will help him after I leave from university.

 When I arrived at his house I entered using my spare key, not bothered to announce my presence since I knew his mother and older sister were at work and his little sister is usually out with her friends at this hour, so he must be alone. I left my shoes in the hall and went straight to the kitchen. What was waiting for me there left me with my mouth wide open, a complete disaster. There was flour spread all over the floor, a mountain of dishes was coming out of the sink, the counter and the table were full of ingredients and something that looked like burned brownies. But most importantly, my friend, Felix, was in the middle of everything and the cause of it.

 “Yah! I told you I will help you, so why did you start without me?? Look at this kitchen Felix, your mother is going to kill you!”

 “In my defense, I thought baking some brownies would be easier, but unfortunately I was wrong. You’re gonna help me clean this mess and cook like you promised, right?” He was looking at me with his best puppy eyes, but I won’t get caught in his trap. At least not this time.

 “I will help you, with one condition.”

 “Sure, go on.”

 “You’ll let me throw you a birthday party this year!” I said grinning at my friend’s already sour look.

 “Anything but not this one.” He said it with a serious look and in his deep voice that always makes me shiver.

 “Buuut.. Felix, I want you to have a party... It’s your 20th birthday, pleeease!” I was whining like a little kid that didn’t get his favourite candy.

 “Why is it so important to celebrate? You know I don’t like parties. So choose something else.”

 I knew he didn’t like parties, but that was just because they reminded him of his father, who threw him an amazing birthday party 5 years ago just to announce that he’s leaving his family right in the middle of it, the reason being that he fell in love with someone else. It was a birthday and goodbye party at the same time. From that day onwards Felix hated parties. He only comes to my birthday party and to our other 7 friends. He turns down all the invitations in campus. I tried to change his mind but he would firmly refuse to go every time. But today was going to be different, I will convince him to accept having a birthday party this year.

 “Felix, don’t you think is time to forget the past and live the present? I know it was hard for you, I was there when it happened, and I know the pain you went through after that. I will always be here for you, I only want you to be happy and forget about it, because now nothing bad can happen at your party anymore, you know that, right?“ I was talking calmly, trying to convince him through my eyes that I’m right. Felix knew that what I was saying was nothing but the truth, but the idea of having a birthday party after so many years was still on debate. I could see how much he was thinking about what I said and what decision he should make from the way he was frowning his eyebrows, and when I decided speak again he beat me to it first.

 “Y/N, I know your intentions are good and all but... I don’t know what to say.”

 “You just have to say “Yes” and I will do the rest. You don’t have to worry because I will make you the most amazing party ever, I promise!” I saw he was still hesitating to answer, so I asked him: “Don’t you trust me?” His response to this was almost instant.

 “Of course I do.”

 “Then say yes!”

 “Fine! Yes...”

 “Yayyy!! I promise I will do my best! Love you Yong-bok!”

 “You only love me when I say yes...” He looks at me playfully this time and I start laughing.

 “I know you love me too even if you don’t say it back!” I say happily hoping to lift up his mood.

  “Yeah, I do.” He said while having an expression that I couldn’t really read on his face... His look was so full of... affection, and something more that I couldn’t catch since he changed his expression into an waiting smile. That snapped me out of my thoughts, realising he was waiting for my help with cleaning and cooking.

 “So, do you know how to make brownies?”

 “Yes, but you didn’t tell me why you need them so urgently?”

 “Oh yeah, Chan hyung told me his grandparents are visiting from Australia tomorrow, and I promised to make them some brownies as an welcome gift.”

“Aww that’s very kind of you, but why would you promise something you can’t do?” I raised an eyebrow at him playfully.

 “I don’t have money to buy a present and the ingredients were already brought by my mother, so I can use them for free. You know I’m a broke student just like you.”

 “Fair enough. Let’s start cleaning first.”

 He got in the military position of salute and shouted “Yes, ma’am!” I chuckled at his cuteness.

 We start to clean the kitchen together and discuss about our classes today and the homework we have to finish for the next week. We’re done with all the work in about half an hour, afterwards we start working on the brownies. By the time we finished baking them, the kitchen was dirty again, but not as bad as the first time.

 Felix was looking at me while biting his lip, a habit of his, then got closer to me with a napkin and started tapping my nose to clean it. I could feel my heart beating faster than it should because of the close proximity between us.

 “You got some flour on your face.” He whispered.

 I couldn’t make my brain send any words to my mouth. I was lost staring at his face; he was wearing blue contact lenses that matched perfectly with his blond fluffy hair. Having him this close allowed me to give a better look at his freckles. They make him look so adorable and that’s always killing me. I felt that I couldn’t breathe properly anymore, so I took the napkin from his hand and started cleaning myself, not before taking a step back to put some distance between us, hoping this would calm my racing heart.

 When I looked back at Felix, he was cleaning the counter with an expressionless face. I didn’t say anything and started washing the dishes, both of us doing their own task quietly.

 After the brownies were done, his mother and sisters came home too. His mother asked me to stay for dinner and I gladly accepted, because I love her cooking. During the dinner Felix was quieter than he normally is, but I brushed off the thought of asking him what happened because I assumed it must be about the party.

 After dinner he drove me home and invited me for lunch tomorrow with the rest of our friends.

 We went for lunch at our regular restaurant where we ordered our usual.

 “So guys, I finally convinced Felix to let me do his birthday party this year and I need your help.” All the boys looked at me like I grew another head and I knew it was because they couldn’t believe me.

 “You really did?” Seungmin asked after he recovered from the shock.

 “Yeah, well after 5 years of putting pressure on him, he finally accepted.” I rolled my eyes dramatically.

 “You’re amazing, Y/N!” Jisung and Hyunjin said in unison very excited.

 “I know, I’m the best.” I said trying to look cool but failed when I started laughing.

 “Ok. So we need to make a meeting without Felix to discuss the details later.” Came from Minho.

 “You should probably stop talking because I’m right here guys, and it’s my party.” My heart melted when I saw Felix’s cute pouting face.

 “You’re right, let’s meet this Sunday to make the plans at my house, ok?” Changbin suggested, to which we all agreed and continued eating our food.

 The Sunday came fast and we all agreed to throw the party at Changbin’s place since his house is big enough and his parents told us they would leave to some friends so we can have all the house for ourselves.

 Felix’s birthday would be on next Friday, so we still got plenty of time to prepare everything, from buying the decorations to inviting all his friends. We bought plenty of food and alcohol and Chan agreed to be the DJ.

 The big day was already here. I decided to wear a grey plaid skirt, a black blouse that exposed my shoulders and clavicles, long earring and finished the outfit with a pair of black heeled boots. As for the make-up, I decided to go with a light natural look and put my hair in a bun.

The party looked exactly how we imagined it to be. Everyone arrived before Felix, and went he came in we all shouted a loud “Happy Birthday, Felix!”

Everyone went to hug and say their congrats to Felix, only I stood frozen on the spot, because at the moment my eyes landed on Felix I swear I forgot about anything else. He always takes my breath away with his looks.

It’s been awhile since I started to think I might develop a one sided crush for my best friend. But now I’m starting to believe it’s something more than just a crush. I don’t know how this happened, but I think I felt in love with Felix. I’d wanna confess to him, but there are two things stopping me – I fear he probably doesn’t feel the same for me, but most importantly, I’m afraid I’ll lose him as a friend. I couldn’t live knowing I lost his friendship. He’s my sunshine, the person I spend most of my time with, he’s the one who truly understands me and knows everything about me. He’s the only one that’s able to make me comfortable enough to show my true self without fearing rejection because he likes me the way I am.. But the problem is that he likes me just as his best friend, nothing more. While here I am, in love with him. I tried to overcome it, push my feelings aside and hoping they’ll fade away, hoping it’s just a crush and nothing more, but being together with him all the time didn’t made this an easy task, it just made me fall even more for him.

Right now Felix was wearing a black leather jacket that he paired with black leather trousers, a white t-shirt. His hair was now a light purple and styled up, exposing his forehead. He looked alsolutely stunning.

He caught me starring at him and that made me blush instantly. He was trying to make eye contact with me, but I was trying to avoid his gaze.

He started coming my way.

“Hi.” He was looking at me with an intense look that made me feel like he could read my mind and and know exactly what I was thinking about.

“Hi. Happy birthday, Felix!” I tried to sound and look as much as possible unaffected by his presence, especially since he was closer than usual.

“What? No hug for me?” he said with a little pouting and I never wanted anything more than to squeeze his cheeks, which I didn’t, instead just giving him a warm hug. He was smelling like lavender, a perfume I gave him on his last birthday. The thought of him wearing this made me smile.

 “Thanks for the party, Y/N.”

 “You don’t have to thank me. Let’s go and have fun, ok?”

 “Sure.”

 I dragged him to our group of friends and we all started to dance. After a few songs we decided to get some drinks. I suggest Felix that he should have fun and get wasted, offert that he turns down, saying he doesn’t wanna do something he might regret tomorrow.

 After a few other songs, Bang Chan played some slow ones. He told me to go have a dance with Felix, saying this is a good chance to try and confess my feelings for him. I told him that I’m not ready and left to get another drink. Bang Chan is the only one that knows about my feelings for Felix, and he promised he won’t tell anyone, but he always tells me that it would be better to tell Felix the truth. He says Felix won’t end our friendship even if he wouldn’t feel the same way for me, so I shoudn’t worry about this; unfortunately I’m too much of a scaredy cat to take initiative.

 I feel a tap on my shoulder so I turn away from the bar to face the person. Surprise, surprise, it’s none other than Felix.

 “Y/N, do you wanna dance with me?”

 “Y-yes.” He caught me off-guard with his question, I didn’t think he would want to dance with me during a slow song.

 “Why did you ask me and not another girl you know? Maybe you can make a girlfriend.” I ask as we are making our way to the dance floor. Even if I don’t wanna see him together with someone else, I think having a girlfriend might make him happy, not to mention that I heard the guys telling him he should find a girlfriend, or at least a girl to have fun with, especially today.

He didn’t answer my question, so I assumed he might’ve not heard me because of the loud music.

When we got to the dance ring he put his hands on my waist and pushed me closer to him. I awkwardly put my hands on his shoulders and he started to speak.

 “I don’t want to dance with another girls.” He said in his low deep voice, sending shivers down my spine.

 “W-why?” I shutter the second time already. My heart started beating so fast that I think he might feel it too, considering how small the space between us is right now.

 “I have something important to tell you. After the party I want to talk privately with you.”

 “Okay.”

 Perfect! Now my mind wild go crazy until the end of the party. What does he want to talk about? He said it’s important, so why wait until the party is over?

He’s biting his lips again and I want nothings else but to kiss him right now. I would need to lean only a bit to finally feel his soft lips on mine.

Why am I even thinking about this when we’re only friends! This is just a simple dance and what he wants to tell me later must be just a simple thanks for organising his party, it’s probably nothing more...I should stop thinking about both his lips and about what he wants to tell me.

I was once again lost in my troughs until I hear him chuckle.

 “My eyes are a little bit higher, you know?”

 I avert my gaze from him to look at the people behind him, I can’t look at his face anymore after he just caught me starring at his lips.... This is so embarrassing. And why is this song so damn long! Chan surely enjoys to see me struggle.

He just laughed at my reaction and after a few seconds the song finally came to an end. As soon as it ended I excused myself lying that I need to use the bathroom, so I won’t do something embarrassing in front of him again.

After that dance I didn’t have another encounter with Felix, and I was glad, because I don’t think my heart could bear more of him right now without going in cardiac arrest.

 The party came to an end and I hoped that maybe Felix forgot that he wanted to talk, but of course that wasn’t the case. He was coming my way looking a little bit nervous and biting his lip.

 “Can you come upstairs in the guest room to talk?”

 “Sure.” I reply equally as nervous as him. I let him lead the way, and while we were passing through Chan I saw him sending me a wink then mouthing a “good luck”. But why?

 After we enter the room, he’s standing right in front of me and locks his eyes with mine. He takes a deep breath before he speaks.

 “Y/N. I wanted to tell you this for a long time already but never had the courage to do it...” he then licks his lips and I follow the action with my eyes.

 Wait.. Is he about to say what I think? Is he maybe trying to confess? Are his feelings towards me the same? Maybe I shoudn’t jump to conclusions and get my hopes up just to be hurt even more in the end, I should let him talk and see what this is about.

 “Y/N? Are you listening to me?” He looks a little amused now at my face. “Because you spaced out a little.”

 “Oh. Yeah, sorry. Please continue.” I manage to say a little flustered now.

 “Actually, what I have to tell you is a confession.... Y/N I liked you for a long time and I thought maybe I could get over you, so I won’t risk losing you as a friend, but as time passed by I just fell more for you and I want you to know that I love you. I did for some time now, but I was too scared to tell you. I understand if you don’t feel the same and want to get some space after what I told you to clear your mind, but please don’t push me away as your friend, because our friendship is very important to me. You are important to me, and I don’t see my life without you being part of it, but I really needed to tell you how I truly feel even with this risk.” He’s looking at me waiting for a reaction but when I try to speak I can’t let any word leave my mouth due to my shook.

 Did I heard him right? Did he really said that he loves me?

 When I see him looking at me with so much affection and nervously waiting for me to say something in return, I decide that words are not enough. So I get on my tip toes, put my hands at the back of his neck and brig him into a kiss. Our first kiss. His lips are so soft and I already feel addicted to them. At first he didn’t responded to my sudden action, but after a moment I feelt his lips moving against mine gently. After bit he reaches to hold my jawline whit one hand and puts the other one on my waist to bring me as close as possible and deepens the kiss. I hope he can feel me pouring all my feelings for him in this kiss. I kiss him with passion and love and try to give my all. I feel fireworks exploding in me. I don’t want this to ever end.

 After we break the kiss, he looks at me with so much love and adoration in his eyes. His beautiful smile is bigger than I ever saw it on him and I’m sure I smile the same at him because this is the happiest moment in my life.

 “I love you too, Felix. I did it for a long time, but I never had the courage to admit my feelings either because I was also scared I’ll lose you.”

 “Really? Wow we really are made for each other.” He laughs cutely at our similarities in thinking.

 “I can’t believe we could have been together for a long time already, but we let overthinking stay in our way.”

 “Well nothing can come between us from now on.”

 He then places a quick peck on my lips and grinns at my blushing face.

 “I’m glad that now I can say how I truly feel about you out loud, not just in my head.”

 “And what would that be?”

 “That you are the most beautiful girl, kindest person I know, you are really smart, that you’re driving me crazy when you act cute and the only thing I want to do hold you in my arms and never let you go, which now I can because you are mine, sweetheart.”

I’m a blushing mess in Felix’s arms now and I try to hide my face in his chest so he won’t see it, but of course he did so he put his hands on my face to make me look at him again. He brings me closer, then whispers: “Will you make me the honor to become you boyfriend?”

 “Yes!” I can feel my cheeks already hurting from so much smiling, but I just can’t help myself.

 “I love you.”

 “I love you, too.”

 Then he kisses me again.

Do You Feel My Love?

Genre: fluffy smut, bestfriend!Yunho

Pairing: yunho x reader

Warning: this is a smut but nothing special lol

a/n: happy birthday yunho!! 💖💕 Hope you like this, feedback is always welcome

Today, was your day off. You spent the whole day resting and relaxing, since you've been working your ass off the whole week. After a hell week you feel like it’s finally time to give some time to yourself. As sun started to set, you lay your body on the couch, lean your head back, and smile to yourself, fully enjoying the silence you had for the longest you could, before you had to return to the chaos you called work.

Right at that moment, you hear the ringing of the bell, pulling out of your thoughts. You stand up and look confused at the door, since you weren't expecting any guests. Who would it be at this hour? You open the door to your very smiley, best friend Yunho, holding a pizza box in one hand, and a bottle of wine in the other.

"Heyyy, what are you doing here? Wasn't it a practice day today?" you say smiling back at him, as you take the pizza box off his hand to place it in the table in front of you.

"Practice ended a while ago, and I really wanted to spend some time with you, so I asked Hongjoong hyung if I could visit"

"Wait, does that mean that you'll stay the night as well?" you stop in your trucks and smile up at him, excitement evident on your eyes.

"Yes, that's exactly what it means" he says, laughing, finding the way you behave very cute.

"Yayyy!!!" you yell, without even trying to hide how excited you were. “It’s been a while since we last hang out together”.

“Yeah, that’s true, now let’s put on a movie and start eating before it gets cold he says”

You eat a little and then you remember that you had something important to tell him. One guy from work, asked you out. You wanted to ask his opinion on it since he had met everyone in there through you and he is your best friend after all. He seemed like a good guy, a little lame to be fair, but still kinda cute. You and Yunho were friends since a lot time ago, since when he protected you from that nasty bullies in school and since then you were attached to the hip. You don’t remember an important moment in your life when Yunho wasn’t by your side.

You turn to look at him and say “You know, I have something to tell you”

He takes away his eyes from the TV, puts his wine glass down and directs his full attention on you. “Yeah, tell me”

“You know… do you remember that guy with the desk next to mine? Well… he asked me out” you put your head down and start looking at your fingers, feeling embarrassed after telling him for some reason.

“Ahh…. I see” He says and then turns his attention to TV. You could see that he was thinking something really hard. Something was really bothering him, you knew, you were his best friend after all. You were shocked though. Why that emotionless answer? Wasn’t he happy for you? It’s been a long time since you had gotten into some kind of romantic relationship, as your best friend he should have been happy. You hold your shocked look on him, not even trying to ask why he answered like that, knowing it could probably anger him, giving him to answer when he’s ready.

 After some seconds he takes a deep breath, grabs his wine glass and gulps down the remaining wine. “Don’t go out with him” he says firmly not even looking at you.

You froze in place, shocked as to why he’ll ask you something that. “Wh-whyy?” you let out, coming out as a whisper since you were shocked and confused. Yunho was always sweet and supporting of you, and even if he was against something he would calmly try to explain why he was against it. Yunho this serious was so new to you.

“It might sound selfish, but I really like you. And I know that no one will love you like the way I do right now. I can’t watch you from a distance getting hurt anymore. Enough with seeing guys not realizing the treasure the have in front of them. I want, only if you’re okay with it of course, I want to finally show you how deep my love for you is.”

Okay, now finally you right the highest level of shock you think reach. Jeong Yunho liked you. THE Jeong Yunho liked you. YOU. How did you not see it? For some reason though, you too weren’t really looking forward going out with that guy. Why? The reason was right in front of you, looking you intensely, deeply in your eyes, giving you chills. A million thoughst were going through your head right now. Why your heart was beating so fast? Why you felt your breath being taken away suddenly by him coming closer and closer to you. Maybe you feel the same after all.

“I t-think I f-eel the s-same” You say, feeling your face getting hot. You were definitely blushing.

He lets out a sing of relief and puts his hands on your jaw and puts his lips on you kissing you, a kiss full of passion and lingering feelings that finally coming to light. You kiss him back hugging his neck, pulling him closer to you, as he moves his hands to hug your waist, pulling you as close to his body as you could be, as he was afraid that you’ll just fade away. He pushes your back on the couch as he bites your lower lip, getting a delicious moan from you and as you open your mouth, he plops him tong in your mouth, to taste you. You’re in true bliss right now, kisses making you feel like you’re on cloud nine, the alcohol in your system making you feel safe enough to get bolder. At that moment he moves to kiss your jaw slowly, and then starts to suck some pretty purple spots on your neck. When he reaches your collarbones, he stops, and you look at him confused.

“Why did you stop” you ask him, afraid he regretted his sudden confession.

“Do you want me to continue? I’m afraid that if I continue now, then I won’t be able stop myself later. Are you sure you want this?” He says looking you deep in the eyes, trying to find any sign of discomfort. You on the other side, couldn’t find the words to answer. He looked so beautiful in front of you, hair messy and lips red from the way he was making out with you. Plus, the fact that he was supers bold with the things he told to you, was making you feel things you never you thought you’ll feel because of Yunho.

“I’m very sure” You stare into his eyes, trying to show him that you mean it, as your system welcomes a glimpse of courage, enough for you to stare at him.

He tries, but fails to hide the shy smile that creeps up on his face as he puts your leg on his waist for you to secure yourself, as he pulls you up to carry in your bedroom. You laugh as he runs to the bedroom, like he life depends on it. How long was he hiding this?

He throws you on the bed, takes him shirt of in a shift motion and you are all you can do is look at him in awe. He looked so amazing like this that for the first time tonight you were the one that couldn’t contain their emotions. You take his hand in yours and drag him back on you. You put your hand on the back if his head and put your lips on his, finally showing him the desire you have for him and you feel him smirk into the kiss. He puts his hands under your shirt, caressing the skin there, and then breaks the kiss to take of your shirt. Suddenly, at this exact moment, you feel all your braveness leaving you and you put your hands on your chest to cover yourself or a part of you somehow.

“Hey sweetie, don’t hide yourself from me, I love all of you remember? Let me take care of you.” He says and you slowly put your arms down. He brings he hands up and caress the skin from your neck and slowly bringing them down to your stomach.

“Can I take this off?” He says referring to the bra that was still hugging your chest. You slightly nob, not trusting your voice right now. He unclasps your bra and slides it off your shoulders and smiles at your half naked body. He finally feels like you are his, a gift that was long awaited. He feels like his dreaming when you look up at him, waiting for you to touch you, your half-closed eyes almost begged for it, and he doesn’t wait any second as he puts his mouth on one nipple and you arch your back, loving the feeling. Minutes pass by and his mouth on your chest is not enough to please you, your body asks more.

“Yunho, please do something more, you’re taking too much time on there” you moan and he laughs “Are you getting impatient love? Let me help you” he says and with a swift movement he slides down your leggings together with your panties.

“Tell me how that feels” he says as he opens yours legs and puts a finger in you slowly. You let out a shaky breath, loving the fact that he finally touched you on the place when you wanted him the most. “I-I love it baby, please do more. Pl-please, I need your love” you say and he answers “As you want love”

He puts a second finger and picks up the pace. He loves the sight in front of him: your eyes fully closed, back arched, moaning, fully into your own world. He loved the way you were moaning his name, needy for his touch and attention. You feel more and more coming to close to the edge, just by fingers by now.

You grab his hand to stop him for making you come undone. “Yunho, stop, please, I need you in me” You didn’t feel nit even a bit of shame as you say this, you were in for it too deep to feel embarrassed. At this moment he feels his jeans becoming too painful around his shaft, as he had completely forgotten about it, in order to please you. After hearing you like this, he stands up and hurriedly throws his belt away and opens his pants as fast as he never has done before. Then, he pulled his underwear down, and as his length hits his stomach, you gulp at his size. Sure, you had eyes and you had already notice that he was packing down there but didn’t think it would be that big.

He notices your stare and smiles “Do you like it baby?” he says and you, to his surprise, answer back with complete honesty “Yes, you’re really beautiful”. It’s his turn to blush, as he reaches on top of you. He pecks your lips and aligns his shaft with your pussy and as he slides in, you both moan against each other’s ears.

He doesn’t move for a little, waiting for you to comfortable enough, and as you give him the sign to move, he starts to thrust into you slowly. "God baby, you're so tight, omg" he breaths out, eyes closed from the feeling of you being too tight around him, making him lightheaded. As time goes by, you both feel getting closer and closer to realy close to the release. "Y/n, are close, sweetheart?" he says while he moves to an unimaginable quick pace. "Ahh, yesss, how about you?" "I'm close too" he says and puts his hand in between your bodies, circling quickly your clit, enough for you to see stars.

"Come for me baby, I know you're there" he says, and you come hard, toes curling, while your eyes get completely closed and your back arches. He comes seconds later, the feeling of your pussy around him, too much for him too handle.

He collapsed on top of you and whine a little bit later "Yunho, you're too heavy". He laughs and rolls to the side, taking you in his arms to cuddle you.

"You know..... I wasn't expecting you to fuck me. This whole night is still super unreal for me" you laugh, realizing how crazy this night have been.

"Neither did I y/n" he laughs with you. "I'm not complaining though, I wanted to show you how I love you for a long time" he says as he caresses your cheek.

"Like how long?" you ask out of curiosity, that probably the thing you wanted to know the most since he confessed. "I think it was around the end of high school? I'm not sure.... One thing was for sure different, I wanted to take you on a date first"

"You can do that tomorrow" you smile at home. You peck his lips and stand up, making your way to the bathroom.

"Now... Shower?"

masterlist

You arrive at Moon’s apartment, which technically used to be yours too, right at 5pm just as you had planned. Your train ride from Busan to Seoul was painless and actually a bit relaxing. Something you kind of needed because even though you and Yoongi had been dating for over a year, you still felt nervous about seeing him in person for the first time since you moved. Butterflies flitting about in your stomach the whole morning as you got ready and packed.

Moon instantly ran into your arms, squishing you into a big hug. Your best friend loves you so much, and it’s evident in that she acts as if she didn’t see you just a week ago. “Yayyy! You’re here! Now, I know you’re not staying here tonight, but I’m going to need you to unpack everything so I can help you get ready to see him. Please tell me you brought multiple outfits.” She says all of this as she grabs you by the wrist and rushes you into her bedroom.

“Wait, hold on a second! I need to see how Jimin changed my room.” Moon looks at you quizzically, “we sleep in the same room, silly! We put his bed in there so that you’d have something to sleep on when you visit, but it’s mainly just an office for us now.” You felt dumb to think that Jimin would have his own bedroom when the pair were dating. “Oh, duh,” you laugh at yourself, “I like the space, though! It feels a little weird standing here and it not really being my room, but I think it’s nice!” Although you’d never admit it out loud, you were kind of happy that Jimin hadn’t just completely taken over your old room. You knew you were being greedy, though.

You step out of the office space and back into Moon’s room which looks almost the same except for a mismatched pillow, Jimin’s you assume, and an extra dresser. You put your bags up on her bed and let her rip them open to rummage through your belongings. Although your style is very different from hers now, she’s always done a great job when helping you pick out the best outfit to go with your hair or skin tone.

Over the past year or so, your style has changed. You used to dress more goth-like, mainly black, fishnet stockings, and chunky boots. Very similar to how Moon dresses, something the two of you used to bond over. However, now you’ve sort of blended that edgy feel with softer tones and a bit of color. It feels much more you now. It also didn’t hurt that Yoongi loves when you wear soft blues, pinks, and greens. He thinks you look like an angel.

Moon helps you decide on your outfit, a peachy pink corduroy skirt, black and white striped turtleneck, and white graphic sweatshirt tucked into your skirt. Of course, your outfit wouldn’t be complete without some thigh-high tights and black boots. You opt for your hair being pulled up into a short, sleek ponytail and delicate makeup. Your outfit is the perfect combination of cozy (as it’ll be colder once you get to the bar), cute, and edgy.

By the time you’re both ready, it’s nearly 8pm which is when you’d agreed to surprise your boyfriends at the bar. You’d seen on the bar’s social media page that they’re doing a tap takeover so there’d actually be a lot of people there. If you had to guess, the bar’s other bartender Jungkook would probably be working as well.

You guys decide to drive instead of walking the mile and a half since it had started to get a bit chilly. Songs ranging from Paramore to Mamamoo to Natasha Bedingfield as you drove. Both of you singing at the top of your lungs and car dancing along to all of the songs. God, it feels just like old times, no worrying about completing work deadlines or being so far away from everyone. You would definitely miss this in two days' time when you’d have to go back to Busan.

As you arrive at the bar, people are spilling out of the entrance. If it were any other bar it would be hard to even get in. Luckily, you both are friendly with the bartenders. As you walk up to the entryway, you both end up having to push past people, effectively being smushed by bigger men here and there. Once you finally make it through and closer to the bar, the two of you hang back watching for two bar stools to open up so you can get front row seats to your hot boyfriends doing their thing.

It’s hard to see the boys from where you’re standing with all of the people around, but you guys are able to spot Jimin and catch his eye long enough to earn a wide grin and wave from him. Just as the two of you break eye contact, you notice three girls getting up from their seats, looking like they’re leaving. You both break for the seats before anyone else can grab them.

Jimin strides up to the two of you, his brown hair tousled back. You and Moon had picked some good ones. “What can I get for you two to drink?” he asks as he expertly wields a shaker to finish off someone else’s drink order. You opt for a hard cider that’s part of the tap takeover, earning you a custom glass. You wanted to be able to bring something back from this weekend, something to help make your new place feel like home in Seoul.

Just as you’re about to take your first sip you spot Yoongi over in the corner part of the bar. He can’t see you from where you’re currently seated, but you watch him as he goes from customer to customer, making sure everyone is happy with their drinks.

You want to get his attention so you ask Moon to save your seat for you so you can walk around to him. As you turn the corner, you notice he’s pouring a shot of Fireball for a blonde at the bar. She beams at him and downs the shot quickly, pulling out bills to pay, and flipping her hair as she does. You give a hard eye-roll at her efforts, clearly she doesn’t know Yoongi is in a long-term relationship and that her efforts are useless.

That is, until you notice her writing on the back of her receipt. Surely he got girls’ numbers all the time, he’s a good looking guy. But then you notice him pulling out more receipt paper to write something down on it as well. There’s no way you’re seeing this right, you think to yourself, did Yoongi just give his number to some random girl at the bar? You turn around and catch Moon staring at you with a concerned look on her face, her teeth worrying her bottom lip and her eyes darting back and forth between you and your boyfriend.

You turn back around and see Jimin tap on his shoulder, pointing over to you. He must know what this scene looks like to you because he’s instantly forgotten about the girl and is making his way over to you with distress on his face. You don’t give him the chance to reach you though, spinning on your heels faster than that girl swallowed back her shot. Moon gives an apologetic look to Jimin as she rushes out behind you, yelling for you to wait up.

The second you’re in the car, you let the floodgates open. This was your worst nightmare. This was what you were worried about all along, but you had faith that your boyfriend would never do something like this. Did he think that it would be okay since you can’t pop by the bar anymore? Has he always done this? Giving girls his numbers on nights he knew you wouldn’t be able to visit the bar?

Moon interrupts your horrific thoughts by jumping into the car and slamming her door shut. “What the fuck was that?” she spits out. She’s angry. Obviously not at you, but she detests cheaters and douchebag boyfriends. Not that you had actually caught him cheating, but giving his phone number to another girl was close enough.

“I don’t know, I- I just saw her give her number to him and then he did the same for her and I j-just had to get out of there,” you manage to choke out. Moon rubs your back in soothing circles and starts the car. You spot Yoongi trying to make his way out of the packed bar, but look away, not wanting to see his face right now. “I talked to him about this, I t-told him this was my worry!” Moon glances over at you quickly, her expression softening at her heartbroken best friend. “I hate him right now, but- but maybe it’s not what we think! Let’s just get you back to the apartment and we’ll figure this out, okay?” You wipe the tears from your eyes and cheeks with the back of your sleeve, sniffles escaping from you as you try to contain the waterworks. “It’s ruined, he ruined it.”

[sweet-or-sarcastic]

Changes

Man, it’s been a while since I’ve uploaded a fic. I’ve had this on my computer for over three months and I just had to get through it. This one is Post-Graduation and is a little bit on the mature side. Enjoy!

-------

The two villains...ex-villains...heroes... (what the heck were they now?!) laid side-by-side. However, unlike the years they spent together, bantering about a “foolproof” plan or a recent defeat, the world savers found themselves on a hotel bed. Their naked bodies were covered by flower petals and expensive sheets with singed ends. They laid there hair tousled, out of breath, and staring at a ceiling forever scared by plasma blasts.

They were, to put in frankly, flabbergasted by the event that just transpired.

In less than a week Drakken and Shego had gone from partners in crime to world-saving partners in bed.

Yeah..this was a weird sitch.

Neither knew who would speak up first, so they both started talking, continuing to stare at the ceiling.

“Wow”

“I can’t believe we....”

“I know” “Yeah…”

“That was…”

“Right?!”

“I never would’ve expected” “Such strength”

‘Such passion” “Dominance”

“Yet tenderness”

“Outta someone”

“Like…”

“You.” They finished at the same time

Drakken sat up on the bed hunched over letting the sheets fall, exposing his chest. Shego followed, having a strong grip onto the bedspread to cover her breasts. Shego didn't know why she was being so self-conscious. She’s known the Doc for years and it's not like she hasn't been in this situation before. She’s done this many times, some of them too drunk to remember. But she hadn’t been in this situation with someone she cared about, as hard as it was to admit.

Drakken could sense the tension in Shego, particularly in her shoulders.

Was she already regretting what happened?

Drakken could tell that Shego was out of it. He didn’t want to scare her off but he could feel her slipping away from him with every second.

“Maybe if I just..”

The scientist softly placed his hand on her back and rubbed her shoulder with his thumb. Shego could feel the stress in her body melt away as the doctor caressed her. She exhaled and let out a moan similar to the sounds she made just moments ago.

She turned to Drakken and the two stared at each other with matching expressions of confusion and bewilderment.

There were too many thoughts to bear, too many emotions passing through their bodies all at once.

What are we going to do now that we’re pardoned? Are we going to lose all our friends? Can things ever go back to the way they were? Am I going to lose you?

If there was anyone Drakken needed right now amidst all this craziness, it was Shego. If she left, especially now, he’d go off the deep end. No amount of money, fame, or respect from the world would change that.

Shego wasn’t sure what terrified her more; the fact that Drakken was now a respected scientist who didn't need her anymore or the fact that she was so scared of Drakken not needing her. She was so used to being needed, leaving others in the dust with her confidence skyrocketing. But now here she was, on the verge of tears, prepared to give up her dignity and beg her boss not to leave her.

The pair continued to stare at each other for moments on end. Drakken could feel himself about to break. He needed to touch something or someone. He placed a hand on Shego’s cheek; her body weakened, closing her eyes and letting out a hitched breath. Drakken rubbed his thumb along his assistant's cheek and swore on his mother’s life her skin was damp. Seeing her so vulnerable (for him of all people) made his stomach flip. He didn’t like seeing her like this. He felt like he was invading her privacy, exposed to a side of her that she didn't want the world to know existed. He had to do something. Quick.

With all to lose and even more to gain, Drakken brought Shego’s face to his, kissing her hard. Shego on instinct, placed her hands on his cheeks and roughly kissed him back. Drakken kept a hand on Shego’s cheek and moved the other to her hip, caressing the skin there with his thumb. Shego slid her hands down from Drakken’s face to his chest: firm, warm, and smooth.  The world savior groaned against her lips at the soothing feel of her hands on him. His mouth left hers and made its way down to her neck leaving a trail of kisses down her jaw. Shego let out a small moan and wrapped her arms around Drakken’s neck tight, never letting him go.

Their kisses were like the ones that they shared during sex: breathless, lustful, desperate. They touched each other like a couple reunited after the war; grasping at each other's bodies, hands roaming to feel everything, trying to remember and memorize each other. They had lost each other once already this week, separated by thousands of light years. Now, with all the opportunities and offers, they could lose each other again, separated by thousands of miles. And this time, it would be willingly...and that was terrifying.

Drakken moved his lips from Shego’s neck but kept his hands on her; placing both arms around her waist, pulling her in even closer. Shego put her hands on Drakken once more. She laid her head on his chest. Her ear was against his heart and she could hear its beat. Matching the rhythm of her breathing to his heart, Shego started to relax against the man and buried her head into him. Drakken ran his hand through Shego’s hair as he cradled her against his chest. Her hair was sicky with sweat yet smooth as his fingers moved through her curls effortlessly. Nudging at her head with his nose, Drakken brought Shego’s head up to meet his eyes. He’s never her seen her eyes so doe...so worried. It was then that Drakken finally realized that they were in the same boat. She was scared of him leaving.

He almost smiled knowing that the almighty Shego could be scared, because of him of all people. The realization made his heart both flutter and feel heavy. With her face still cupped in his hands, Drakken leaned down and softly kissed her forehead. He wanted her to know that he was here and would do whatever it took to stay. Much to his surprise, his affection was responded with giggles.

Oh great, now she’s laughing at me

“Dr.D that tickles!”

Drakken looked back down at Shego to see her eyes closed and nose scrunched up. By god, it was the cutest he’s ever seen her in the last five years. The mad scientist smirked as he thought of his most evil plan yet.

“Oh really?”

Shego immediately lost the battle of composure as she was attacked by peppering kisses of the enemy all over her head. She couldn’t contain herself much longer when he started to kiss her nose. That was her weak spot, causing her to chuckle in frustration.

“No Dr.D, stop! I can’t take it!”

Drakken released his prisoner from his affectionate offense, but not before leaving a long kiss on the center of Shego’s head, with Shego responding with a small groan in annoyance. He laid back to his original spot on the bed, raising his arms behind his head and staring at the ceiling.

“I can’t believe I just slept with my sidekick” the madman joked.

Shego scoffed at his comment, shaking her head in disbelief.

“So now he’s got jokes huh?”

It was now her turn to lay back down on the bed and get comfortable in the sheets. Shego turned on her side and softly placed her hand on Drakken’s chest, caressing his skin.

“Well, I can’t believe I just fucked my boss.”

On cue, Drakken moved his hands from the back of his head to cover his face from embarrassment as his cheeks blushed a deep blue from his partner’s vulgar language.

“God that woman and her mouth sometimes”

Shego chuckled at the man and his adorable antics. Even after aggressive, passionate sex, Drakken was still Dr.D, a grown man who inside was a sensitive flustered teenager. But, he was her Dr.D.

Drakken threw his arms back on his sides and grabbed the hand that was on his chest. He intertwined his fingers into Shego’s and turned his head to look at her. She stared back at him with a long smirk, testing his courage to see what he would do next.

“Well, Ms. Sidekick,” he began while bringing her hand to his lips to gingerly kiss, “would you believe it if we did it again?”

The woman genuinely smiled at the doctor, pleased that he didn’t back down. Shego roughly grabbed the back of Drakken’s neck and pulled him into a hard kiss. Drakken put his free hand below her jaw and kissed her back just as roughly. The couple found themselves in the rhythm of another romp, similar but more loving and more controlled than the last. 

Changes were coming, they both knew it. But, they were going to be okay. Because whether they were galaxies or miles apart, they always found their way back to each other. She’s come back because of jealousy and he’s come back because of pickles, so love was definitely not going to be a problem.

Yayyy! It’s done, I’m so happy I finally finished this one. I swear it was staring at me on my computer. I tried to be a little angsty but ehh, I’m a sucker for fluff and cuddles! XD

Coffee Shop Chapter 3

Fuckboy Tom AU!! TomHollandxReader 

Summary: You and Tom meet again, just a little change in environment :-)

Word Count: 4199

Warnings: Swearing, mostly fluff, a little angst.

A/N: YAYYY finally lol. This is the longest part I’ve done so far, and I apologize for the wait. It ends a little weird, but I promise I have this going in the direction i want. THE NEXT PART IS ABOUT TO BE SO GOOD. I AM SO E X C I T E D. I’m about to start a tag list!!! Message me to be tagged!

Rain, rain, rain. That’s all the weather has been like for the last four days. The city has been plagued with massive puddles resembling small lakes, and the air is bitingly cold. It’s a miracle that with the cold temperatures, you haven’t been trapped in your apartment building by what could’ve and maybe should’ve been a blizzard. And if it had been a blizzard, you wouldn’t have been able to see Tom at the coffee shop for what became a part of both of your daily routines over the last week. The rain hasn’t stopped either of you from meeting each other, which makes your stomach knot in the best way. He was willing to see you everyday despite the awfully shitty weather. You feel kind of silly, hinging the fact that he maybe, just might, be happy to see you everyday as you are as happy to see him, based off the fact that every day you shared a coffee or tea or two together before carrying on with the rest of your day. But you felt especially silly, since you still hadn’t exchanged numbers or even told each other your last names. You always meant to ask him for his number, much less his last name, but whenever you two began to talk, it would always slip your mind, and you wouldn’t remember.

Today’s weather was a small improvement from the previous days. There was a light mist over the city. The air was still bitingly cold, but of course, that wouldn’t stop you. You pulled on a long sleeved t-shirt, a sweater, a pair of comfortable jeans, your rain boots, and braided your hair sloppily over a shoulder. The coffee shop’s atmosphere was always warm, so you didn’t bother with one of your bulkier coats before leaving. The shop was only a short block away from your building and as usual, you weren’t planning on staying out afterwards either.

You usually got to the cafe before Tom did, so in order to busy yourself, you usually helped Ms. Phillips stock coffee bean bags, travel mugs, and other merchandise in the shop’s shelves, wiping tables down, and made sure the magazines scattered throughout the shop were current and up to date. These were small favors you usually did which Ms. Phillips sometimes paid you back for with free drinks and coupons. She often teased you about Tom, about how handsome he was, and how you both probably had a huge crush on each other, but every time, you deny it, giving you a weird sinking and terrifying, yet floating feeling because maybe she might be right. After all, she is old enough to have seen it all. But it’s impossible. Tom was… something else; sweet and kind, and not to mention gorgeous, and you almost forget that you’ve been hurt in the past and that titles and love are actually terrifying, but he’s definitely out of your league. You see how women look at him from outside the window as they pass the coffee shop window and as they buy their drinks. Ms. Phillips has even warned you before that he could have a side you could’ve never imagined. Whatever happens, happens, you think to yourself. But you’re not about to lose your mind over this. But you still find yourself lost in your thoughts as you finish wiping a table down before taking a seat at your own usual spot in the corner. You just pull out a pen and colored pencils, as the door chime jingles and Tom bustles his way in, an unopened umbrella hanging from one of his wrists, both hands lodged in his coat pockets.

“(Y/N), Hi,” Tom greets you, still breathless from the cold. He takes some time to hang both his coat and umbrella from the back of his chair before taking a seat.

“Hey Tom,” you smile.

“What, no drinks today?” he teases, noticing that you didn’t have your usual mug of green tea or coffee before you today.

You shake your head with a smile. “Nah. I just helped the owner, Ms. Phillips with some chores and stuff today, so I haven’t found the time yet.”

He gets back to his feet. “Well that’s good news because I probably owe you a drink or two anyway. My treat,” he says with a shy smile. “Green tea or coffee today?”

“Oooo, you big spender,” you laugh, borrowing his little joke from your second time meeting. “I’ll go for a coffee today, thank you, Tom.”

He snorts a laugh. “Hey, you deserve it, (Y/N). I got you.” Pulling his wallet from his back pocket, he makes his way into the crowded line, which gives you time to study him.

Tom’s wearing a beanie today, little brown curls sticking out from underneath it. He’s wearing a black hoodie over blue jeans with a pair of Doc Martens boots. His hands look rough and calloused from here, but you know from sitting in front of him every morning that though calloused, their movements are gentle and light. He’s rough looking despite his sweet personality. In fact, he looks exactly like the type of guy you knew to avoid. Just by standing there in line, he had gained not just your attention, but the attention of half of the other women sitting in the coffee shop with you. But that doesn’t seem to bother him at all, much less capture his attention. Your eyes travel from his hands back to his face, and feel your cheeks flush in embarrassment when he catches your eye.

Now, Tom is no stranger to catching women’s eyes on him in public; whether it be from recognition from his role as Spider-man or simply because he was good looking. But when he caught your eye, his heart did a flip flop. You were dressed simply today. You didn’t do much to your physical appearance to call attention to yourself, and yet here you were taking all of his. His eyes locked on yours, and your skin is tinged pink in embarrassment, but you smile sweetly and return your gaze back to your notebook. He’s not going to fall for you, he won’t, he reminds himself. He finishes paying for your drinks and slowly makes his way back to your table, careful not to make any spills.

He pulls his beanie off his head and shakes his messy curly hair out with a hand. “So, I’ve been forgetting to ask, but have you gotten any sleep lately?” he asks, aware that you used to never get any sleep due to your obnoxious neighbor living a floor up from you.

You sip your drink, savoring the warm feeling that fills you. “I did actually. He’s been quiet lately, thank god,” you reply, setting your mug down.

He nods. “That’s great, it’s good to know you’re finally getting to sleep.”

“Yeah,” you agree with a smile. “Thanks to him, I haven’t binge watched anything on netflix in a while.”

Tom smirks. “You know, I don’t know if you’re saying that as if it’s a good or bad thing or not.”

“Now that you say that, I’m not too sure about it myself,” you laugh.

At this point, Tom’s breathing gets lodged in his throat again. Your laugh. It literally lifts his stress away, but he can’t have that. He doesn’t want to feel that floating feeling. It made him vulnerable. He can’t stand looking at you without his heart flipping in his chest, and here, at your usual spot in the shop, he has no choice but to keep his gaze on you as you both speak, or be a complete asshole and stare out the window. And both were non-options. If he kept sitting here, focusing on only looking at your pretty face and listening to your soft voice, he knew he start feeling like maybe he should let himself fall a little. A non-option. But being an asshole was also a no-go. You didn’t deserve to think he didn’t care, you were too kind to him for him to do that.

“Hey, (Y/N)?”

“Mhm?” you hum, sipping your drink.

“Would you care for a walk?” Tom asks. At least this way, if they were to walk side by side, he wouldn’t feel obligated to look at you in the face as you walked; there are plenty of things to look at on a walk. “You know, for a change in environment?” he adds, for cover.

There’s a look of hesitation on your face. “What’s wrong with the shop?” you quickly tease, to hide your apprehension.

Tom shakes his head. “Nothing. It’s lovely. But you know, a change in environment?” he repeats sheepishly. He’s never been this bad with words before, and his ideas being rejected or questioned wasn’t a common thing that happened to him. His nerves probably weren’t doing him any good either. Since when did he ever feel nervous about talking to girls? He knew that was dangerous. If he’s nervous about someone, that means he cares about their opinion of him.

You drain the rest of your drink in a few quick gulps and put your notebook away.

Tom smiles. “So is that a yes?”

“I don’t know, Tom. It’s not that I don’t want to go…” you begin.

He shakes his head, a victorious little smile tugging at the corner of his lips, knowing that you were about to give in.

“But fine, I guess we can use a little ‘change in environment’”, you roll your eyes playfully as you air quote his words.

Tom’s smile blooms all the way across his face, and he drains his mug as well. “Thank you. Let’s get going.”

You slip your arms into your coat and pick up your backpack, and head out. As soon as you step out the coffeeshop doors, you remember the freezing forty degree weather and that you didn’t bother dressing very warmly. A cold breeze sends a shiver down your spine, and you clench your teeth to keep them from chattering, pulling the hood of your thin coat up.

“Tom?” you pause on the sidewalk.

“Yeah?”

You stuff your hands into your thin coat pockets, your fingers already a bright red from the cold. “I didn’t exactly dress for the occasion.”

Tom does a quick once over, noticing your thin coat. He tries his hardest not to wince. He couldn’t stay cooped up with you at the shop. Looking at you for too long, even now, was difficult for him. Anything, literally anything, would better than accidentally falling for you if you made him laugh one more time while stuck looking at you. He knows that what he’s about to do is dumb for him and his pact to himself, but he takes his coat off and hands it to you.

Your eyes widen at the gesture. “Tom, I can’t take that. I’d leave you cold, and I’d feel awful about it.”

For fuck’s sake, Tom thinks to himself. Everything you do is so soft and caring and considerate of him without you meaning to do so. He almost wishes you weren’t so easily likable. But your kindness... It’s like second nature to you. “If you don’t, you’ll freeze,” he says quietly.

You shrug, a pained smile crossing your face. You didn’t want to waste time by going home and grabbing something more weather appropriate. You knew Tom was busy whenever he wasn’t with you.

Tom groans. “Don’t act like it’s not a big deal. You can borrow my jumper.” He pulls the hoodie he was wearing underneath his coat over his head, handing it to you. It should be heavy enough to keep you warm, with the sweater you were already wearing, and the thin coat you had brought along.

“You’re gonna be the death of me, Tom,” you say under your breath, but there’s a touch of playfulness in your tone.

He shrugs. “I’ll take the blame… But wait, why would I be the death of you, if you’re the one who forgot to dress warm enough?” Tom can’t help but laugh.

You pause, looking at him. “You know, you got me there, so maybe I’ll be the death of you,” and your lips pull into a slight cringe.

“Just put the damn jumper on, (Y/N),” Tom shook his head between a smile. Tom watches as you pull his hoodie on. You’re right. You will be the death of him. The jumper is a lot bigger on you than it was on him, and its sleeves pool over your hands and its hem settles mid thigh.

Yes, this is definitely a mistake, Tom thought to himself as you pull your coat on over his jumper. You looked adorable with the excess thick black fabric of his jumper overflowing over your hands and out the bottom of your coat. He liked the look of his clothing on you more than he ever could’ve imagined, and when you looked up to him to thank him, he wanted to turn and run in the direction of his apartment building, just out of pure confusion and fright from what he was feeling, but at the same time, he couldn’t; not because he didn’t want to look bad to you, but because he wanted to be around you. You looked goofy, but your sweet smile could evaporate the massive puddles of rain water lining the city streets. He’s at a loss for words, looking at you.

Tom never would’ve thought he’d let a girl borrow his clothing. It invited them to get closer to him... Gave them a reason to think that they meant something to him. To not lend his clothing to any girl for any reason at all, is a rule of his game he hadn’t broken since he started living the life he currently lives. His heart is flooded with his mixed feelings; so torn between wanting you to fall for him and needing to keep his distance. He had been catching your stares more and more often and your embarrassed smiles and flushed cheeks were the most endearing thing he’d ever seen and it was a good boost to his confidence. Being with you was peaceful and relaxing, unlike the turbulence he encountered in his everyday life as Tom Holland. But even though nothing you’ve done shows that you’ll disappear out of nowhere, putting his trust in you, or anyone for that matter, is terrifying. But for the first time in a really long time, he almost feels like he wants to belong with someone… That someone being you.

He realizes that he’s been staring at you, and you’ve been staring back the entire time, and he shakes his head.

“I look stupid, I know,” you laugh.

“It’s quite the opposite. Don’t worry, (Y/N),” Tom replies, looking away.

“Whatever you say.” You quip, and you tuck a strand of hair behind your ear and Tom slides a pair of sunglasses on as you both make your way down the sidewalk, between the bustling people. “So where to, Tom?” you ask.

“There’s a few places we can go to,” he replied. “But first, the grocery store.” Honestly, he wasn’t sure where to take you, but he’s seen several people go to the park just to feed ducks at the duck pond. He figured that would be enough.

“The grocery store?” you look at him, inquisitively.

“Mhm,” Tom nods.

“Any particular reason why?” you ask, trying to keep up with Tom’s long strided walk.

He makes a turn down into a street where the low profile bodega he usually frequented sat.

“Well yeah,” Tom says, a small shy smile tugging at his lips. “Ever fed ducks at the pond in the park?” He usually didn’t feel this bashful around women. It was weird.

A smile grows on your face. “Well yeah,” you imitate Tom’s tone. “But people usually don’t do that in this weather. What there aren’t any there?”

“We’re just going to have to hope we’re lucky,” Tom replies. He pulls the grocery store door open, allowing you in first. The door shut behind him as he followed you in, sealing the two of you in sudden warmth after walking in the cold and strange lighting from the fluorescent lights with the grey sunshine pouring in from the windows. He picks up a small can of instant oats for the ducks and a few snacks for himself. “Want anything?” he looks to you.

You pick up a bag of gummy bears and a rice krispy treat. “I got it, thank you anyway, Tom.”

He shakes his head. “Nope. This entire thing was my idea, so I provide the provisions,” he declares. He looks at your sugary snack selection. “Sweet tooth?” he asks.

“Maybe a little,” you admit.

He smiles. A sweet tooth to match your overly sweet personality. It’s only fitting. “Compromise? We’ll take turns with this treating the other deal, alright?” He reaches for your snacks.

“Fine,” you submit. “My turn next time, okay?”

“Done.” He replies.

You crack a stupid smile, pointing at the can of oats in his arms. “I guess you can say, oats a deal,” you bite your lip, trying not to laugh.

“You did not just say that,” he groans, but he can’t help but smile at your stupid pun. “That was the worst pun in history.”

“I believe I did,” you reply in a fit of giggles.

He shakes his head, unable to get rid of his own smile. “You’re not funny, (Y/N).”

“Oh come on, Tom. You oat-ta learn to take a joke,” you say, snorting when you can’t contain your laughter.

“Did you just snort?”

“Maybe I did!”

By now, Tom’s smile is fully plastered across his face. “You think you’re so hilarious.” If you weren’t laughing so hard at your own joke, Tom probably wouldn’t have laughed at all, but your laugh is contagious. A red flag goes up in his head, blaring his alarms. What made you happy, made him happy. This happiness is so new. It feels good, and he hits snooze on those alarms.

You snort again. “You’re right. I do.”

"I’m not confirming that or negating that statement,” he replies.

You raise your eyebrows. “Oh please. You know it’s hilarious. You wouldn’t be laughing right now if you didn’t.”

“That’s questionable.”

“You know it.”

“Okay, (Y/N),” Tom shakes his head, his cheeks aching from his massive 

He brings your items to the counter and pays. With your items in a plastic bag, you both make your way to the park, talking as you went. Despite your joking and light exchange at the bodega and only a week of knowing him, you knew your boundaries. Tom didn’t mention his work as an extra very often, his hometown or his family; when he did, he usually left out titles, places, and names, but today, you learned that he was one of four brothers, two of them being twins, two years younger, a youngest brother, being eight years younger than Tom.

“Your poor mother,” you joke.

He shrugs. “She kept us in line.”

He doesn’t say much about them after that, and you don’t press him for details. You feel like there’s more to the story that he’s withholding from you. He obviously still cares about his family. He speaks about them nostalgically, but they’re obviously not a part of his life at the present moment and you figure that when the time comes, and when he’s comfortable, he’ll tell you more. B you found you had more in common than you thought. You both find yourselves easily talking about your favorite music, TV shows, both of your theories on the universe, your strange obsession for instant ramen noodles, and who you think will win the World Cup coming up.

You basically covered a whole two days’ worth of topics on the walk to the park, without the random pauses that came with trying to cool and sip a hot drink. When you get there, you see that you’re in luck. Though the weather is quite honestly gross and pretty cold, the pond is occupied by fifteen or so ducks. Besides the few people who stream past you and the man playing a saxophone under a footbridge a little further up the path, evidently no one had the same idea Tom had for the day.

Tom unlooped the plastic bag’s handles from his wrist and hands you the small cardboard container of instant oats. “Would you like to do the first honor?” he asks, in a rather grandiose manner.

“Oh, why of course I would!” You tug the lid off the can and grab a small handful of oats and you toss it into the water for the ducks to snack at, and they come flocking. “So what made you think today would be a good day to feed ducks?” you ask out of the blue.

Tom isn’t facing you at that very moment, and he’s thanking whatever god is up there watching out for him. If he were looking at you, you’d be able to see clear as day that he was making up whatever he was gonna say. He didn’t think today would be a day for anything. But here he was. “I just thought a change in environment and routine would be a good thing, you know?” He repeats what he said back in the coffee shop.

“I guess,” you reply, tossing another handful of oats for the ducks.

You guess? Tom’s heart rate started to rise. “Um, there’s an art museum nearby and bunch of food carts. You know, for when we run out of oats. Or get hungry”

“What art museum?” You ask, intrigued.

“The Metropolitan Museum of Art, why?” he asks, he turns to look at you.

You shrug. “I’ve been meaning to go, but I haven’t yet.”

Tom finally brings his eyes to yours. “Wait, I thought you liked art and painting and stuff. Haven’t you lived in the city for a few years now?”

“Well, yeah… I guess I never found the time to go,” you shrug again.

“Would you want to go today?” Tom asked, putting his cold hands in his pockets to hide the fact that his hands were shaking from nerves.

Your eyes widen in surprise. “You want to go?”

Tom shrugs. “Yeah, if you want to.”

“Would it be bad if I kinda want to?”

“I offered it, so no,” Tom says with a smirk. “So yes?”

“Yes, you goof. Stop smirking at me,” you toss a handful of oats at him.

“Did you just throw oats at me?” Tom looks at you in amused disbelief.

You laugh. “They didn’t throw themselves did they?” Suddenly, all the ducks from the pond came flying out of the water and pecking at the ground surrounding Tom.

Tom grunts expletives under his breath, trying to avoid stepping on an unlucky duck. “You know, (Y/N), not trying to start my day covered in duck shit,” he says sassily but still wearing a smile.

You’re laughing the entire time. “I didn’t see that coming, I’m so sorry Tom!”

He shakes his head, dusting oat crumbs from his hands and coat. “I’ll get back at you. Don’t know how yet, but count on it.” He tries to make himself seem threatening, but he can’t stop smiling.

“Okay Tom, whatever you say,” you laugh, capping the container of oats and slipping it into your backpack. “So which way are we going?”

Tom points to your left. “Down that way to Fifth Avenue.”

“Have I mentioned how excited I am?”

“No, but I can tell, don’t worry,” Tom replies, smiling.

“How?” You challenge him.

He shrugs. “You have a bit more pep in your step. Your voice just pitched upwards.” Your excitement is adorable and one of your best qualities, he decides.

You both stroll along the side of the museum, looking out for the iconic Met steps and main entrance.

As you pass the fountains off to the side of the steps, you feel your excitement growing. “I feel like I’m in Gossip Girl or in some rom com,” you say happily, pulling your phone out of your coat pocket to take pictures of the museum’s massive entrance, completely mesmerized by the building’s facade and detailed architecture.

Your wonder is so refreshing to Tom. He was used to high snobbery that came with being a celebrity and being around people who thought it wasn’t cool to look enthused by anything. You’re literally a breath of fresh air to him, which in itself was ironic. While you were so refreshing to be around, you stole the air from his lungs. It was like being submerged in a submarine. He should trust that he’s safe within your walls, but at the same time, the weight and pressure of his past constantly threatened to crush him.

hi lovely mods! so how would the shinsengumi swords be with an easily flustered s/o when they want to be more affectionate with them??? >////

Hey dear~ so even though I can’t relate to this s/o at all because once I’m in a relationship I become like the most cuddly and affectionate koala bear this is still a very cute request and I’m sorry for taking so long. Too much cr*p happened lately so I just haven’t been in the mood for writing and I really don’t want to write something just half-baked but i also feel bad for letting this sit untouched in my drafts for weeks, therefore this got a little short. Well, hopefully you’ll still like this !

Izuminokami

holding back would be especially hard for Captain McFlirty because he’s in love with you, so being the touchy-feely man he is, of course he wants to shower you with affection and cuddles

there’s no such thing as too much PDA for Izuminokami

so after both of you just got together he would often sneak up on you and casually put an arm around your hip or even sweep you up in his arms only to have you squeal and squirm around and nearly faint why are you doing this to my poor heart?

he loves to do this, partly because he likes to show off his strength but mostly because he finds the adorable way you always gasp and become bright red very endearing

that guy just lives for your blushes because they make his life indefinitely better that douche

but when you tell him that even though you love him the way he is, sometimes it can be a little overbearing, he could honestly smack himself for being such an inconsiderate douche towards you

he tries to tone it down at times because by no means does he want to make you feel uncomfortable but it’s really hard for him because let’s be honest: Izuminokami and restraint don’t go well together

he really can’t help himself because you’re just too adorable the way you gasp and turn all red-faced when he kisses you out of the blue, because honestly: would anyone ever really mind Kane-san being all over them?

Horikawa

he would get it pretty quickly since you never initiated physical contact yourself and got bright red every time he only tried to hold hands with you

lol how are you guys going to make it to the second base then? at snail’s pace?.. ahem ok i should keep this SFW

not that he minds, he is SO considerate of your feelings and would be very patient and keep reassuring you that he thinks you’re sweet and perfect the way you are and that he’s fine with waiting until you’re more comfortable with him because he just adores you so much

this sweet boy is the embodiment of chivalry alright?

would press his forehead against yours, and whisper to you in that voice as sweet as cotton candy

‘This is really new to me as well, so please don’t worry about a thing, we’ll figure it out together’

he’s an angel sent from the heavens ok

he already thought the fact that you fell in love with him was a miracle itself so everytime you give him that gentle dazzling smile of yours he’s already melting, because everything you do draws him in

he knows how you feel about him and as long as your feelings for him don’t change he’s more than willing to follow your pace

as patient as he is, but nightly cuddles are a must and whenever you two fall asleep together he’ll always wrap you in his arms and hold tightly onto you even if you’re embarassed by the close proximity, he’ll be selfish

when this happens, don’t even think of escaping him, even if you need to go the bathroom, if he ain’t getting up then you won’t either

Yasusada

he always thought that you couldn’t get any more adorable but o h b o y was he wrong because when he first kissed you he couldn’t believe how cute you looked after that with your face all flushed and cheeks pink with embarassment

your bashfulness never ceases to amaze him but on the other hand it torments him to no end because help you just got even more adorable how should he handle that??

he’s so madly in love just a smile from you can make him happy as a fool so he won’t rush things and always waits for your permission, your feelings are the most important thing to him after all

but beware, if any of the other swords were to make a move on you hooo –

yandere Yasusada triggered

he’ll simply walk up to you, rest his chin on your head and engulf you in his arms all while shooting the penetrator that dared to look at you a very nasty look

you’re his and only his and he’s not afraid to mark off his territory in front of others

will apologize afterwards and spoil you like the world’s about to end even if you tell him that he didn’t need to feel bad

Kashuu

this insecure baby would be very confused and maybe a little hurt because you never made the first move even though you were a couple by now

wasn’t he good enough for you? Or why were you stiffening and getting bright red every time he tried to hug or kiss you?

he tries to act spirited for your sake and will try to push back his feelings and hesitates to touch you further but at the same time he was wondering if he had done something to upset you

this goes on for a while until you finally catch up on his strange behaviour

when you point it out and ask him why he seemed to be avoiding you poor boy will stay there awkwardly before admitting to his worries

after you explain to him that you actually want to be a lot closer to him but you’re just not used to affection his heart will burst with love

oh thank god

before he even knew what he was doing he had already cupped your cheeks in his hands and pulled you into a ravenous kiss

when he finally pulled away both of you were panting blushing messes, but this time he could finally admire the way your pretty face flushed without a worry

honestly tho, Kashuu is just like a cute but very demanding kitten, you have to shower him with affection or he’ll die just like my poor cactus

but once this issue was cleared up he will be back to being his usual clingy attention hog self and 10/10 will whine that you don’t love him anymore whenever someone else gets you smiling instead of him

also can I get a genuinely smiling Sayo pretty please?

unlikely, but Azuki having an appearance and secretly giving candies to everyone while Hasebe isn’t looking

speaking of, Hasebe getting into a cockfight with Togoemata over who’s the best attendant which almost cleaves the citadel in two

that’s all i could think of by now but no matter what happens I’m just happy to see them again!

Hi I'd like to say/ask a couple of quick tings. 1) Love your friendship with @twoghostsaccustic, did you really meet like that? Did you really have the idea for the HP au cause I 💙 it? Do you write other ships/ fandom's? what WIP did you post I can't find them on your blog and finally you have 15 fics going HOW THE FUCK does your ppl keep up,@twoghostsaccustic writes herself and your beta's mega busy with lots of writers where do they find time to check all dos fics? Keep being cool dear 💞

omfg HHAHAHAHAHAHAH HELLO THERE BEAUTIFUL

ok first things first: thank you for your lovely ask!!!!! :D gotta love those. anyway, no, right now i’m not writing other ships or fandoms but i have a shitton of fandoms so who knows haha. why? do you have one in mind? hmu if u do. dude i ask myself that as well haha but i have this list of fics i wanna write and i dunno man. i dunno. i guess steph and sammie @britpickerhl just really love me?? hahaha or maybe i force them you’ll never know

anyway here are my wips (they’re really wips i totally abandoned them lmao):

the p&p au that never was

steph’s gift (from last year)

damn i’m good with names (not)

and since u asked..... here we go......

HISTORY TIME: how did me and @twoghostsacoustic meet??? sit down people cuz we gonna go down memory lane

w e l l in case yall havent realized yet (i doubt it lmao) me and steph are polar opposite. like, she times the day and time she will do smth, i made 3 of my last exams in grad school with borrowed pens because i had forgotten mine. there was one day she was the only student in class, i literally failed 15 classes because of absence. she works hard, plays (QUESTIONABLE MUSIC) hard and is kind. i’m a lazy and mean bitch (WITH AWESOME MUSIC TASTE).

basically, this is a story about slytherin meets hufflepuff.

S O back in 2011 we both made the TERRIBLE mistake of chosing international relations to be our grad course and in 2012 we both passed for the same uni. yayy!! congrats past us for being nerds. so comes freshmen week and lo and behold!!!!! there she is, my girl steph, with her lovely curls and a purple shirt (I STILL REMEMBER OK) among other people i got to meet that first week.

remember the “i’m a bitch” part? yeah, she was the only one i kept talking to. everyone else i just forgot they existed.

anyway.

so past this first week, there we are, classes from monday to friday, about 30 people in our classes. mind you that first semester i went to almost (almost) every class so we saw each other all the time, talked and all, but we weren’t as close as we are today. i would talk to her and also everyone else because, you see, my girl was the quiet type in class, very serious, work hard type. i barely had a notebook, so i had to do our group projects with my kind of people - the procrastinators.

((can you imagine steph doing a school project 4am the day we had to present it? no you can’t because she’s not this type. literally the only group work i didn’t do 4am the day it was due was the one i made with her LMAO))

so how did we get here?

drarry, my dude. it was all because of drarry.

you see, we were in between classes with a group of friends and we were talking about harry potter (all the friends i have are because of hp god bless u scarhead) and one of the people in this group was a high school friend of mine and she already knew i was a slasher so i just said “guys harry should have ended up with draco, end of discussion”

now, it may have been night time, but i swear the angels sang and there was a halo of light illuminating our table when i heard this voice say:

“yes, of course. always.”

ah no wait, wrong curly person.

anyway. she agreed. we looked at each other like BANG! HOLY FUCK I WAS RIGHT THAT EMO SHIT IS A FANGIRL.

and fangirl we were. basically we talked non stop about how drarry and sirem (wolfstar) were the main couples of hp and how everyone else was wrong. so the gateway was opened.

we exchanged tumblr urls, that’s how headfirst we dived after that day.

since then, we shared fandoms, all of then. tom hiddleston thirst? we got that. 1d? mate, we dragged each other to this hellhole. mcu? we watched loads of movies together, same with star wats, b99, whatever. 

we’re there. we reached that point.

besides all this fandom drama we also got involved with each others personal drama so mix those up and BOOM. friendship for LYF. 

she was there when i got bit by an ant and fell down on the pool like a victorian lady. it was awful and i wish i could forget that but @thiccstan doesn’t let me forget it.

anyway. i even bought her a hufflepuff pin and her 1d mug and she bought me my slytherin cup. we’re tight, my man. so tight. as tight as my-

and then i love to tell her about my headcanons. MY GOD have i told her about pwp plotbunnies, i swear if i havent made steph at least 13% kinkier i have failed my mission in life. so anyway one of those days i was talking to her (either at her house, at whatsapp, or tumblr, or facebook, or on one of our 3 shared gc, or ig) and i said “dude i have this hpau listen me out” and so it began. it’s been a year already lmao so yayyy happy bday m&w!!!!

so yeah. we’ve been friends since 2012. seen all, done all. so just to point some of the shit we’ve done together:

1 - written a 200k+ fanfic

2 - graduated together, from the literal first week of college to the literal last week

3 - ate poutine (THIS IS IMPORTANT)

4 - went to the movies SO MANY TIMES 

5 - dealt with each other’s depression cuz listen my dude it ain’t a homie if she ain’t telling u about those bad days

6 - i threw up at her house once lmao fucked up gallbladder am i right my dudes

7 - i literally dreamt about both of us getting matching tattoos lmao (also we woke up together to listen to sott no judgements BUT IT WAS 4AM OK WHO ELSE WAS GONNA BE THERE BUT US FOR US)

so yeah. she a cool one.

Okay this is my first review so cut me some slack on grammar and spacing as I'm trying my best here guys! 🤗 *spoilers*

 Now on to “Drive 2” I mean “Baby Driver”. I'm only kidding but it's hard not to see the similarities? A young white guy who's really good at driving gets roped into being a getaway driver by some criminal guy. On the way he falls in love with a waitress and is backed up by an awesome soundtrack. Only to fight against his criminal boss and try to right wrongs he committed to prove he's a really good guy despite totally murdering a dude 5 minutes ago.

 While they are clearly the same they are also clearly different. While on one hand “Drive” is a good movie where on the other “Baby Driver” is not….

 Now that I've angered everyone reading this let me explain. The movies biggest flaw is it changes things and doesn't back up the changes with reasoning. They just change to change. First off, there's Baby. When we first see him he's sort of like this weird quirky dude who loves his job. He's dancing to music while a bank is robbed and he drives away with excellent precision and you can tell he's good at what he does.

 Next is the scene with the sunglasses. One of the robbers from the first crew takes Baby's sunglasses and wears them on himself. Baby procedes to put on another pair. Which the same robber smacks off his face walking away annoyed. As he walks away baby puts on another pair. To me this is them telling you, he's a silly guy. He listens to his IPod and carries around multiple pairs of sunglasses just cause?

 From here the character seems to bounce from silly, to deep and empathetic, to serious, to weird. And where some may argue they were trying to fit more personality into the character it's done wrong. Because it seems like he's a different character in every scene. It would make sense if (like in “Drive”) the character was mentally challenged. Except the movie goes to great lengths to tell you he's not challenged at all. (Didn't want to look too much like “Drive”).

My other gripe is with Kevin Spacey's character. We find out in the beginning that Baby is only working for him to pay back money that was lost due to Baby stealing and losing Kevin Spacey's car. (Despite this they also say he stole many cars and still present him as the poor boy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time). Then Baby is blackmailed into working for him again and we see that their working together is by Baby being in a bad situation and doesn't want to even communicate with this guy. But then later on when Baby goes to him for help they act like they've been best buddies and Kevin Spacy dies to help Baby?

 Now I want to mention the romance. It's a good romance story for a cheesy, indie, teen flick. Even in “Drive” ( I swear I'm not trying to keep bringing it up) the quick romance makes sense for the indie movie it is. However, for “Baby Driver” it does not due to the brutal realism. People are killed in this movie and Jamie Fox's character is presented as very dark and violent. So to have this weird Disney esque romance is kind of out of place. They meet and almost immediately the waitress is an archetype of the small town girl who sings and walks everywhere she goes. They talk and right off the bat get along smiling and flirting. Then this guy she barely knows asks her to drive away with him after knowing her a week and she says yes? Then after Baby gets out of prison in 5 years we find out she waited. Aww.. Then she reveals she didn't even know his real name all that time?? You agreed to drive across the country with a man you met at an off road diner in the middle of the night who hangs around scary people?? Not the smartest decision for a young woman to make. It just didn't fit and the side romance story was clearly rushed.

   Now I know I've been bitching a lot but I actually did like this movie for parts of it. One is, while it had the typical heist movie last-heist-gone-wrong story trope in it, it wasn't the ending. We see the friendly best guy ever Jon Hamm go berserk after his wife dies and he blames Baby. We see Baby and Deborah running for their lives until baby finally kills Jon Hamm and they live happily ever after! Yayyy! Oh wait. Nope cause Baby is arrested and through character testimony the court finds out that Baby (the murderer and car thief) is really swell guy and gets out after 5 years of a a 25 year sentence.

 All in all I gotta give this movie a 5 out of 10. It loses points due to weird character changes and a weak story. However it is still good for the risks it took. Plus I like seeing a bad “Drive” remake okay I'm done sorry, sorry. But seriously this movie could have been really good. I would have preferred it to have been Darling to go berserk after Jon Hamm’s character died. That would have been pretty epic in my opinion. I know I was surprised at my opinion on it I heard nothing but people saying they loved it.

   Let me know what you think of my review! Do you agree or disagree?
