I don’t even know what’s real anymore, I don’t want to fight forever
TW!!
I’ve got no memories. No proof. Nothing outside of me and my system who doesn’t talk me and my screwed up body. This is the only evidence, and this evidence has been tainted.
Sometimes I’m really afraid that I was just born messed up and twisted… in preschool, when I was 4, I specifically remember just wanting to fawn and submit to people. Other children. In games. But it was deeper than that to me. I would’ve been willing to let people drag my limp body and do whatever the heck they wanted to it. What kind of 4 year old is like that? Willing to be abused and treated like an object?
And still today.. Gosh I hate talking about this, because who would believe me? Ever since my chronic pain down there (pain that feels like a ghost is molesting me 24/7 and I spend my whole life in bed now screaming from every tiny little trigger) began to increase so did this.. other thing. This gut feeling. This silent understanding without even having to address it… this “understanding” (with nothing to back it up) that somebody, a long time ago, intentionally created my pain through a very specific and methodical pattern of grooming and molest, and made it so that my tiny little body would result in needing him to SA me to relieve the pain. Like some twisted reverse psychology thing but it’s physical. And he made it so that something would trigger the pain to turn on, and the only way for it to be turned off is for me to allow him to SA me again. Note: I have NO memory of anything like this every happening. My childhood is a blended blur. I have had the most stupid vivid nightmares of it, and even some of our persecutors reenact it in them.. and in every nightmare, the perpetrator— whoever it is— follows that same specific method to create this mind-control/programmed-like response. It’s horrific.
In these nightmares, all he has to do now is say a word or a phrase or wave his hand a certain way and bam. I dissociate. Or bam. I’m uncontrollably needing him. Or bam. I collapse— still conscious but unable to move or see or hear clearly. And the things he does in these dreams to first create the pain… to make me need him. To activate it so that it’ll go off someday and make me need to go back to him so he can relieve it. ITS STUPID AND HORRIBLE AND RIDICULOUS AND I HATE MYSELF.
And something in me swears that’s what my pain is today— it’s been eating my life away since it started. I had to leave school, dance, I can’t work, I can’t even hang out with my family anymore, I stay in bed screaming at the top of my lungs. And I have to physically FIGHT myself not to put myself in vulnerable positions where I could potentially be abducted and trafficked, cause it’s like my body knows that’s where I’m supposed to be. I’m supposed to be there. And until I give in, the pain will only worsen. It feels like withdraw. It feels like this mysterious person in this event I have no memory of created this addiction in my tiny little body that needs the abuse, and without it, I got through permanent withdraw, and I need the SA to happen again to survive.
but it’s not real.
I hate it and I hate myself and I have no memory of the SA or anything so I don’t know if anything ever happened at all— what if I was just born totally f‘ed up???? I can’t do this anymore— I’ve been fighting against this pain for years and it’s getting worse, and it won’t stop till I give in and submit to it.
I feel like a machine that was programmed to return to a s*xually abusive situation or system against my will, but because I’m programmed to do it, I do it willingly, and if I fight against it, I malfunction completely and it’ll be the end of me- I have to give in. I feel like a moth that can’t help but fly into fire because it’s like it’s brain is being mind-controlled by the fire and even if it doesn’t want to burn, it will, because it can’t control it. She’s unwillingly willingly going in.
I’m a stupid DOG with a shock collar fastened around its neck, and someone out there is zapping it, saying come home, but I can’t give in. UGH I HAVE TO.
I can’t fight forever. I’m scared. What if I was just born messed up? WHat if the SA isn’t real and no one did this to me??? Any time I try to accept that or someone suggests that, I get so dizzy physically ill— I overheat and shake and almost vomit.
Im sorry. I’m sorry for all of this.
and this man… there’s a man who I don’t even have the memory of the times he came to stay with me and my father. He’s surely innocent. He’s no one. Yet I feel this overwhelming horrible force that needs me to message him. I haven’t had any interaction with him in over ten years. We were maybe 6. I have to physically fight myself from contacting him.. just to say hi.. I need to do it. I can’t fight it anymore. I’m gonna do it. What’s the harm? He’s absolutely innocent. Otherwise there’s be signs. I convinced myself of all of this. I’m not a survivor.

So I just wrote the entire thing out and then I had to shut my phone and when I came back on it deleted so you know that’s really fun uhm
So basically idk I feel sort of resentful towards a couple of my friends I think like I love them and they’re awesome but lately 2 of them have been constantly texting me talking about their weight and their looks and I’ve been going to school and trying to make sure they both eat because they need to eat and if I’m being honest with those two and the 3 I spend hours talking to at night to stop them from killing themselves or self harming to the point of no return I don’t really need to deal with one of them having an eating disorder that I have to combat for them too and the suicidal ones I’ve tried asking them to go to therapy or even school counselling and one of them is getting bullied and I’m trying to her to tell her head of house but she keeps refusing even when it results in violence so that’s only making it worse for her and it’s getting to the point where I think I should tell someone for her but I don’t want to betray her trust like that and I’m not trying to complain about them I love them they’re all awesome and I’m glad they trust with this information but the whole weight and looks thing is hard because the people whinging about it are essentially skinny little Barbie dolls who are low-key kinda attractive and yes maybe they’re insecure that’s fine that’s ok that’s not their fault and I’m telling them they’re fine and it doesn’t matter what these horrible people making comments say because they’re wrong and they’re really pretty and all that but for me who’s this weirdo little kid who’s got numerous acne scars and acne still appearing because it hates my existence and I’m not skinny like I’m 100% not skinny I’m pretty fat I’ve been “chubby” ever since I was a baby and I’ve tried working out and exercise that I still do quite frequently and for some reason there has been no difference I don’t know and I can’t stop eating because I swear my parents watch my every move and at school I feel bad wasting food because there are people out there who would kill to have what I have and it just makes me think if they’re complaining about themselves when they’re like this what would they say about me what would they say if they looked like me and daily I stop and I look in the mirror or I sit down and go damn I’m really fucking unattractive and because of that I can’t wear the clothes that they all do like the tank tops and everything and I hate wearing shorts so I never do that so I just sit there in my jeans and jumper all year round because of this and people go “oh love yourself, every body is different, you’re all perfect just the way you are” but I’m not like I see these and go awww but it doesn’t affect the way I think about myself in any way and then there’s this guy who I have a crush on and we’re kinda in a situationship sort of thing right now and he says he likes but I don’t think he does and I don’t think he can because this boy is quite skinny ok and he’s rather attractive too and you look at me and go nope because I’m quite the opposite and if I’m like this I feel like it’ll just make it harder for him or even other people at a later stage to like me and I’ve got a play next year in July that my theatre club is talking about and if I do get in I have to send in costume measurements and I hate that I hate that people could look at that and go oh wow so that’s not normal for a kid their age but let’s go with it I guess and also on a kind of unrelated note I think I want to be an actress when I’m older like a musical theatre actress but after years of turning down drama sessions and camps and stuff I don’t think my parents would help, or send me to acting school or get acting lessons or anything and I used to hate it and I also have zero confidence so I can’t really walk into a club or a camp with no one I know and act to my hearts content I’m just not very good at that like i can do it fine with my friends but not with people I don’t know and also all your training could go to waste if and when you fail, especially on stage, and a lot of them have been acting since a young age but yup that’s the end thx
hey there anon, thank you so much for reaching out to me!
firstly, it is absolutely not your job to be the singular person to help all of these people, even if you love them lots. you need to make sure you’re taking care of yourself first, and that they know where your boundaries are. and babes i promise you, whatever you think you look like there will always be people who see you and think you’re attractive and have a crush on you (i know this from experience and im a very weird ass awkward person so i know it’s true). if this boy says he has a crush on you, then you don’t have any reason not to believe him, even if it’s hard to trust him because of how you see yourself.
as for sending in the measurements, these people are always coming across loads of different people in lots of shapes and sizes, so whatever measurements you send them won’t be out of the ordinary for them. they aren’t going to be judging some random teenager (i assume you’re a teenager lmao) for their size whatever size that may be. have you ever had like a personal drama tutor? cus that might be a good way to get used to acting in front of people you don’t know, like, one person at a time style. and as for messing up onstage, that’s always going to happen. to literally the most famous and or talented people (i once saw ralph fiennes (the guy who played voldemort) forget his lines while playing macbeth live), it’s something you can’t avoid, so my best advice is to try to embrace it and remember that people genuinely don’t care if you mess up. you’re probably going to be the only person who vividly remembers it. so if there’s any way you can get into acting, even by starting small, please try. i know it’s easier said than done.
hope at least some of this helped, and i hope things get easier for you
happy pride month <3

What’s up partner wanna talk about chronic pain?
Here’s the scoop on chronic pain, at least in my perspective.
So everyone is different, but my shit is I’m 25 with a fuckin degenerative disc disorder which for me is when your fuckin bones just go away. It fucking sucks and it gave me stenosis, two partially herniated discs, and now I’m starting to get fuckin sciatica.
As you can imagine, but back fuggin hurts all the fuckin time, except when I’m walking or on Valium.
Unfortunately I can only walk like 2.5 miles, stand for 40 min, and sit for like 20-30 but when im sitting im fucked and I usually have to get up a bunch.
My life rn is fucked cause I literally do PT for 30min in the morning(not too bad), an hour in the afternoon, and then another 30min session before bed.
All in between im fuckin walking on a treadmill or juggling because I learned to do that recently so I have a something to do while im standing. (Actually very nice)
Anyway, down to the meat of it.
The shit I just described is fucking horrible, and some days I can’t walk or go and do shit like work or get groceries. And everytime I think the pain can’t get worse it does.
But fr the shittiest part about chronic pain *for me* is the fuckin depression that comes along with it.
All I think about all the time is
Im a burden, im worthless, im stuck here, I invalidate myself and my disability even tho Im in pain and can’t walk.
I went to a chronic pain seminar and they focused on the intrusive thoughts.
But they talked about things like
Is the pain ever gonna go away, is the pain ever gonna get worse, am I ever gonna get better
None of those applied to me
Imo those are thoughts you have in the first 6 months of chronic pain, but then you adjust and you don’t care anymore. At least I didn’t after awhile.
I accepted that my situation was fucked, it was never going away, and it was only going to get worse.
Easy peezy
But that weight is always replaced by something else.
Now I hate myself because I’ll never be better than what I am now.
I can’t go to school or have a career I want.
I can’t travel or do things I want to do.
I can’t even be comfortable in my house anymore.
All the while I’m just so focused on not bothering anyone with my problem’s because I’m so afraid of being a burden.
About 8 years ago, my little brother passed away. It took me years to not be known as the dead brother guy.
Now I’m just the disability back pain guy.
I don’t want to be that. I just want to be me.
But for anyone looking in, especially when I can’t hide it. That’s what they see.
It’s funny when people say if they had what I have they would just kill themselves. Like I get it lol. It’s nice to laugh instead of be pitied.
It makes me feel so bad when people have to make accommodations for me.
I spent my whole life trying to be as independent as possible, and now I��m in a position where I NEED to rely on others.
Idk. I know how having chronic pain can make you feel hopeless.
But everyone I’ve talked to who is also in my position are the most positive and ambitious people I’ve met. They want to live their lives so much.
It’s people looking in with their oh no that must suck glasses that assume how I feel.
And that’s why it sucks that people think being in pain all the time when for me it’s just the depression.
I feel so bad that I’m choosing to just push through the pain to have a full time job because I don’t want to feel like a loser anymore.
I’ll literally be taking a pay cut and I’ll have to work more which will be hard. But idc because at least I’ll feel like I have a purpose and I’m doing something.
People always say, but toehwa6, you have a part time job, and you’re fucked! What are you gonna do!
I’m gonna do whatever the fuck I want even if I want to kill myself the whole time.
Hopefully it makes my depression better.
I’m starting to just ramble and shit but idk I hope you read it.
I just say push til tomorrow and it’ll be better. Even if it sucks too or it’s worse just tell yourself tomorrow will be better.
Just do what you want to do
Thanks

Friends Don’t Lie–Steve Harrington
Tumblr media
Request by Silver9860
Steve Harrington is not nearly as big as an asshole as everyone thinks he is. At least, not to me. Steve and I have known each other our entire lives. We've been combined at the hip since we could walk.
When he started becoming popular, he brought me with him. I was unsure about this new group of people we were spending time with, but he has always protected me. If anyone said anything about me that Steve didn't like, he'd immediately put an end to it.
There is only one thing about our friendship that part of me wishes I could change. Since middle school, I've been struggling with anxiety. I have panic attacks that keep getting worse over the years. The worst part is that I hide them from Steve.
Even though Steve and I have been best friends since we were little, he has no idea that I sneak off and suffer through my anxiety attacks in silence.
I was currently hiding in the bathroom after I did horrible on a math test, forcing myself through a panic attack. I had to calm down before lunch. Steve couldn't see me like this. I jumped when the bell rang. I walked out of the stall and washed my hands.
I looked at my reflection and watched myself slowly return to normal. I ran my fingers through my hair and grabbed my backpack. I walked down the hallway, my hand gripping my backpack strap as tightly as I could.
I gasped when someone suddenly grabbed my other hand, playfully swinging our hands back and forth. I looked over to see Steve smiling at me.
"Hey," he greeted. "Carol told me you went to the bathroom after your math test and didn't come back. You feeling okay?"
"Why did she tell you that?" I stuttered.
"I was waiting for you outside of class," he explained. "When you didn't walk out, I asked Carol and she told me."
"Oh," I said, looking away.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah," I said, slightly clearing my throat. "It's just a migraine. You know how I get with those."
"Wait," he said, tugging on my arm and stopping. "How long have you had a migraine? Why didn't you tell me? Do you want me to take you home?"
"Steve," I cut him off. "First of all, breathe. Second of all, I'm fine. It's nothing. It'll go away."
"Y/N," he sighed.
"Come on," I chuckled as I pulled on his arm. "We're going to be late for lunch."
                                * * * * *
Even though he didn't say anything about it during lunch, I could tell it was bothering him. He kept glancing at me but wouldn't say anything.
After lunch, Steve and I didn't have a class together until history at the end of the day. I walked down the hallway and stopped when I saw him, Carol, and Tommy standing in the hallway.
"Good news," he smiled as I approached them, "We've got a sub. Wanna go get food?"
I looked over his shoulder to see Missy and her friends glaring at me. Ever since middle school, Missy and her gang of Wanna-be Barbies have tormented me. Their main reason is Steve. They hate that he spends so much time with me and none with them.
Missy is actually the reason I had my first panic attack. And just like how Steve doesn't know about my panic attacks, he has no clue that Missy is in love with him.
"Y/N, you okay?"
I opened my mouth but nothing came out. Slowly, I couldn't breathe. I started to nervously stutter as my hands shook. I glanced over at Missy to see her smirking at me knowingly.
Before Steve could say anything, I turned on my heel and ran. I ducked around the corner and leaned against the lockers.
"What's with her?" I heard Carol scoff.
"She's always like that," Johnny sighed.
"No she isn't," Steve said under his breath. "Something's wrong."
"Dude, where are you going?" Johnny asked.
"I'm going to go check on her."
"Why?" Carol scoffed.
"Seriously," Johnny chuckled. "Why do you even still hang out with her? I know she was your BFF in elementary school and middle school, but she doesn't exactly fit in with our group."
"So?" Steve asked, officially getting angry. "She fits in with our group because she fits in with me."
As he spoke to them, the tone of his voice changed. I recognized this tone of voice. Whenever Steve starts to get annoyed with Carol and Johnny, his voice comes out slow and like he's clenching his jaw. It usually means he's either about to storm off or get into a fight with Johnny.
"Come on, Steve," Carol laughed. "Y/N's. . ."
"If you're smart," Steve said, his voice deepening, "you won't finish that sentence."
"Dude, chill," Johnny scoffed.
"She's my best friend," Steve warned. "If you make me choose between you and her, I won't hesitate to choose her."
I waited for their responses but all I heard was Steve taking a deep breath to calm down. He had to take a few calming breaths before sighing.
"Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go check on her because that's what people with actual feelings do."
"What about food?" Carol whined.
"Just go without me," he sighed.
My breathing picked up as I heard him jogging down the hallway. I was struggling to get my breathing under control as he noticed me.
"There you are," he sighed. "Is everything okay?"
"Steve," I gasped.
"Y/N?" Steve's voice was full of concern as he moved so he was standing in front of me and gently put his hands on my arms. "What's going on? Are you okay?"
"I'm. . . I can't. . ."
"You can't what?"
"Breathe."
That was the last thing I remember saying before I passed out.
                                * * * * *
I woke up a little while later. It took me a second to notice that I wasn't at my house. Or at school. I slowly sat up, still a little dizzy.
"Y/N!"
I looked over to see Steve running over to me. He knelt down next to me and gently moved some hair out of my face.
"Are you okay?" He whispered.
"I'm fine," I said under my breath.
"Y/N," he sighed. "What the hell happened? You were gasping for breath and couldn't put a sentence together. You just. . . passed out. I didn't know what to do so. . . I brought you home. . . I've never seen you like that."
"Steve, I'm fine," I tried to reassure him.
"No, you're not," he said a little harsher than he needed to. He stood up and started angrily pacing back and forth as he ran his fingers through his hair.
"Why are you so upset?" I sighed. "It's not a big deal."
"Not a big deal?" Steve scoffed. "Y/N, you passed out! I can't act like that didn't happen."
"It's not a big deal," I shrugged.
"For crying out loud, Y/N, just tell me what happened."
"Look," I sighed, "I got lightheaded. That's all. Okay?"
"Okay?" Steve scoffed. "Y/N, I'm going to say this one more time; you passed out! You were getting lightheaded and dizzy and then all of a sudden. . ."
"I passed out," I cut him off. "I still don't understand why you're so upset."
"Because you're my best friend, damn it. And as your best friend, I have to protect you. On top of that, I can't say that I love you and not. . ."
"You love me?" I stuttered.
Steve opened and closed his mouth, struggling to find the right excuse. I slowly stood up, nervously playing with my hands. He took a shaky breath as he gathered his courage.
"What if I do?"
Even though I wanted to respond, I couldn't find my voice. I was too happy and all I could do was smile. He reached forward and grabbed my hands in his.
"What if I do?" He asked again.
I stood on my toes and gently pressed my lips to his. Steve was the one who deepened the kiss. He let go of my hands and wrapped his arms tightly around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest. As our lips moved in sync, I slid my hands up his chest and wrapped my arms around his neck.
We finally broke the kiss, breathing heavily. He leaned his forehead against mine as we caught our breaths.
"What if I love you too?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
Steve leaned back and looked at me with soft eyes. "Y/N," he said gently. "If that's true then I need you to tell me the truth. Why did you pass out?"
I slowly stepped out of his embrace and sat back down. He instantly joined me, grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers.
"Please don't be mad," I whispered.
"Hey," he said to make me look at him. "Why would I be mad at you? I was too busy freaking out that my best friend passed out and I couldn't do anything to help her."
"I have panic attacks," I finally admitted.
"Wait, what?" He asked, the look on his face slightly dropping. "Why didn't you tell me? How long have you had them?"
"A couple of years," I whispered.
"What?"
"They started back in middle school," I said, knowing I might as well tell him the truth. "You were out of town and Missy and her friends cornered me about you."
"About me?" He asked, his voice dropping. "Why would they corner you about me?"
"Missy had a crush on you, Steve," I sighed, looking down at our hands. "She's still in love with you actually. And she hates me because you're more concerned about me while you don't give her the time of day."
"What did she do?"
"She and her band of idiots cornered me in the lunchroom and wouldn't leave me alone until I told them everything about you. They wanted to know everything so Missy could get you to fall in love with her."
"Well, that was useless," he said with a small laugh.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I would never fall in love with Missy," Steve explained. "I was already in love with you."
"I hated telling them things because I was already in love with you too."
Steve leaned in and pressed his lips gently to mine. I smiled as our lips instantly started moving in sync.
"Y/N," he whispered, breaking the kiss sooner than I would've liked. "I want you to promise me something."
"Anything."
"The next time you have a panic attack, please tell me," he sighed. "Now that I know what's happening, I might be able to help you."
"I will," I said instantly. "And I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. I was just embarrassed."
Steve leaned over and pressed his lips gently to mine. He pulled back, a smile still on his face.
"You don't need to be embarrassed around me, Y/N," he whispered. "You're my best friend. Plus, I love you."
"I love you too, Steve. And I promise, no more secrets."
"Good," he smirked. "Because friends don't lie."
"Oh geez," I sighed. "You've been spending too much time with the kids."
"You know what they say," he shrugged. "I may be a shitty boyfriend but I make a damn good babysitter."
I cut him off and pressed my lips to his. I felt him smile as he started kissing him back.
"You are not a shitty boyfriend, Steve," I whispered after I broke the kiss. I smirked before adding, "And you should trust me because friends don't lie."
"No, they don't."

This is what I've been doing during holy week. My religious school would be ashamed of me. This has been proofread, but if there are still any mistakes, I apologize.
𝔭𝔞𝔯𝔱 𝔦𝔦.; incomplete/in progress.
Tumblr media
Monoma had a shit week.
It all started on Monday when his school pants ripped conveniently from the back as he bent down to pick up his fallen notebook. They didn’t even look like they would rip! So how did they...? All he could hear during his inner turmoil and growing embarrassment were murmurs of pity, whispers of curiosity, and his homeroom teacher calling his name countless times to send him back to the dorms to change. Permission slip in hand and underwear out, he silently nodded and made his out, all while ignoring a burning sensation in his eyes and sudden dryness in his throat.
(Walking out the doors with his blazer tied around his waist, he swore he heard a familiar giggle and mockery coming from a smart-mouthed girl.)
Tuesday came bulldozing so suddenly that it ran over him. Well, really it was Yaoyorozu’s canon that almost ran him over. 
The day, in general, was normal, none of his classmates made comments about the minor incident the day before, well, except for Y/N who asked if he sent his pants to be fixed or not. (He didn’t, so she demanded him to hand it over to her.) He didn’t go back to the dorms after their last class, since he has to carry out classroom cleaning duties after he accidentally pushed Bakugou into the mud last week. No, seriously, it was an accident. First off, he didn’t see the mud. Second off, he was messing around with Kaibara’s quirk, which spooked Nirengeki who was somehow walking close by to the hot-headed explosion man- and… well, Monoma mistook Bakugou for Honenuki. For some odd reason. How insulting to his intelligence and great memory skills.
So after such a tiring task of brooming, wiping, dusting, and inspecting, he expected to be knocked off his feet with whatever Kendo decided to cook for dinner, not Yaoyorozu’s canon. God, and he shrieked! Who fucking shrieks?! He’s 18, he’s not supposed to shriek! Unless you’re pegging him just right-  
Wednesday only sucked because you canceled your biweekly study session in favor of hanging out with the girls in 3A. Now, regardless of what people still say, he has matured and slowly grew out his competitiveness and “jealousy” over class A, and doesn’t really have much issue with most of them (mainly because Shinsou somehow helped him become more “friendly”). However, how dare you choose the girls over him! You’ve never done that. 
(And whether or not he was moody and pouty is just a hallucination of yours, he swears it.)
The only bad thing, if you could even call it that, that happened on Thursday was that it slipped his mind how much time he had left to use Tsuburaba’s quirk and lost against his good ol’ pal. 
Friday though… Friday was just really weird and he hated how it only felt weird for him. Maybe it’s pent up frustration with how the week went? Maybe it’s the pouty baby in him still being butthurt over Wednesday’s missed study date? Maybe it’s you staring at his legs and ass? Maybe it’s the way you look so delectable in your hero outfit? Maybe- well, now he was just overthinking it, and he rarely ever does! He was tempted on asking Shinsou to, y’know, brainwash him so he could forget this weird feeling of him feeling weird.
Now comes Saturday. 
Today is Saturday.
Today is 10:06 pm on a Saturday.
You’re over at his dorm for the already mentioned biweekly study date. He should feel happy, considering you brought over some snacks, ordered take-out from his favorite French restaurant, even played with his hair every time you guys had the 15-minute study break. 
But he’s not happy.  He’s not unhappy, but he isn’t happy? Again, the weird feeling he felt the day before hasn’t really left and it’s been crawling around his skin, only getting worse when he saw you coming in with pants. 
It’s not supposed to make him feel not happy, but you usually come over with a cute skirt or dress, showing enough of your thighs and panties to keep him up at night, fantasizing about them wrapped around his head, suffocating him as he eats you out so delicately or ferociously, littered with his desperate bites and kisses, making him whine out in horny pain-
“Monoma?” you asked, eyebrows furrowed in worry as you ditch your phone to look over at your whining boyfriend. “You okay there?”
Shit. He must’ve gotten lost in his thoughts. “Yes, I am perfectly fine, darling.”
Now that’s weird. He’s speaking so softly, and he only ever does that after he’s cum at least a few times, or when he’s totally relaxed and ready to call it a night. Well, there are those few times where he lies and he speaks about the same.
Humming, you smile sweetly at him. 
“Are you sure about that, baby boy?”
Oh, that sent a shudder through his body, his white shirt suddenly feeling too thick and his shorts feeling a bit constricting. In other words, he’s now turned on.
He stays quiet, however, because he feels like his voice will give away his actual feelings, whether it continues being soft or it decides to crack and show how he’s ready to give himself away to you.
“Neito. I asked you a question.”
“No, mommy! I-I mean, I don’t know…” He huffed out, embarrassment now outweighing his neediness. God, why did you have to pull out the mommy card?! You’re so wicked. Did you not know how horrible his week was and now you want to be mean to him?
“What do you mean by that, baby?”
“Well, I’ve had a horrible week, mommy! You should know that!” 
“Don’t dare yell at me, Neito. Mommy’s trying to be patient and understanding, but if you’re going to just be a brat, then I should just leave you in time out, right?” Monoma gawked, his whole body and attention turned towards you as you got off of his bed, arms crossed and disappointment showing on your face. Really? You’re disappointed? Just as he opened his mouth to talk back, you spoke first.
“And here I brought one last gift for you. I’m here trying to be such a caring, doting girlfriend, and you start making assumptions about my efforts? Bad boy!”
Wait, gift? These were gifts? Oh! You… you were trying to comfort him? God, guess he was a bad boy. 
Seeing him deflate, eyes losing whatever snark they possessed, you sigh and walk towards your bag near the door. And this made him stand up so quickly he lost his footing and slightly fell forward, shocked that you could be leaving already, which you aren’t. Startled by his sudden movement, you quickly take out a plastic bag and hold it in front of him to show the last gift. 
It was quiet between you two, staring at each other before looking down at what you are holding. 
“What is that?” He’s the first to speak, blinking as he tries to figure out what the dark blue item could possibly be. It’s pleated, though, so-
“Is it the skirt you’ll change into?” And you laugh, shaking your head as you walk back to the bed and sit. 
“Not me, baby. You will change into it.” He’s going to be wearing a skirt? 
Blinking once more in confusion, he giggles awkwardly before frowning. 
“You’re joking, right?” Now it’s your turn to frown.
“No.” And you smile confidently. “I promise, if you wear the outfit in here, it’ll lead us to the actual last gift, hm?” You bat your eyelashes like a little girl asking her dad for a new Barbie doll, or whatever it is they bat their eyelashes for. You’re curious to see what he’ll do.
And you didn’t have to wait long for his decision to be made.
Sitting on your naked lap, thighs trembling in either overexertion or overstimulation, is a certain sweaty, defiled blond male with gorgeous teary, periwinkle eyes trying their best to focus down on you. 
After he swiftly and elegantly changed into the outfit, it came to show on his mirror that this wasn’t some random crop top and skirt combo, but a whole schoolgirl uniform: apart from a cropped school girl top and the pleated navy skirt, there were white thigh highs and cute hair clips. 
Turns out, you misunderstood his ‘subtle’ hints of some kinky schoolgirl skirt sex; you thought he was offering, with the way he’d bat his pretty eyelashes at you and stare at your skirt during lunch. Really, he was implying you stay with it on, somehow. 
Regardless of who was wrong, the fact your pretty boy is squirming uncontrollably with your strap-on deep inside him is something you just have to engrave in your mind. Who knows when you’ll be able to buy another skirt his size? You can’t wait to render it useless.
“Y-You’ve been thin-thinking for too-oo long!” Monoma whines, bringing a hand to wipe away his bothersome tears he doesn’t want you to see, huffing at the end before moaning loudly as you roll your hips upwards, the tip of the dildo teasing his sweet spot.
“Mm, I didn’t say you can speak yet, did I? Guess mommy spoiled you too much.” Sneering, you shift on the bedsheets under you while placing your hands on his thighs, slowly raking your nails upwards. You try your best to avoid the white thigh-high socks, not wanting to make him ticklish and forget why you’re even touching him there. 
Monoma shakingly gasps, squirming even more as he tries to have his pathetic, precum weeping dick grab the attention of either one of your hands but ends up staining the clothing covering it. Rolling your eyes, you smack the hairless skin hard enough to watch it quickly flush red and hear him groan, whether in pain, arousal or both.
“Stop it. You’re making me angry with how selfish you’re being. Isn’t mommy supposed to be satisfied first? Or did you forget our rules, baby?” 
“N-no! No! No, I- no!” Is whining all that he can do? He’s been whining or moaning for the past hour, with the occasional groans or gasps. You don’t want him to only whine, you need to see him cry. 
Cry prettily as he did on Monday when he thought no one was looking back at the dorms.  Watch him struggle to keep his whimpers of humiliation at bay. Make him forget all about his silly pride and stupid competitiveness against a class who doesn’t really see him as a threat, but just a crazy motherfucker (or so says Hagakure.)
“No what, Neito? ‘No mommy! I do know the rules!’ or ‘No mommy! I forgot the rules!’ C’mon, baby. I thought you knew how to speak properly? Now you’re making Bakugou seem eloquent.”
Oh no, you’re upset at him. Monoma gasps in offense, though, at the implication that the anger and pride-driven Bakugou is better than him at speaking. Ouch, okay, that actually kind of hurt but it was kinda hot? Kinda not? What’s wrong with him?
Yeah, what’s wrong with him? You’re expecting him to go on with his speech of how Bakugou isn’t anywhere near his expertise and social skills, how he’s clearly more coherent than the other, or the typical ‘how dare you’ sentences. What you didn’t expect was him to whimper and clasp his hands together as if asking for forgiveness so soon.
“No mo-mommy! I do know! Th-The rules, th-that is! I know ‘em!” 
“Then you’ll stop moving so much and let mommy continue marking you? If you do, and I’ll be repeating this for the last time, Neito, mommy might let you cum first, mm? Sounds good?”
“Ye-ES!” Okay, maybe you should’ve waited until he answered to land another slap on his thighs, although this one was close to his dick. Oh well, at least he’s making other sounds, but no struggle or tears. 
Leaving nail marks around the pale, smooth skin, even carving your name on both thighs with light scratches, you’re in awe at how he’s trying not to move too much. Then again, he is your sweet baby boy, who thrives and gets off of making you proud of him and cumming because of him. 
Lifting your eyes from the satisfying reddening skin to his face, you’re struck with awe again: finally, as if some god were listening to your wishes, you see him blinking rapidly as a new batch of tears quickly accumulate on his lashline and slowly trickle down his red cheeks before being furiously wiped away by him. Seems like this has been going on for a bit, seeing how his eyes are slightly red and his hands, clasped back together, if not tighter, look kind of wet. He didn’t want you to know he was trying not to cry and then failed so beautifully.
Gosh, and here you were expecting him to be a brat, to defy your authority over him, to challenge you like he usually does. 
(If only you had some mind-reading quirk, you would’ve known he actually had been planning his next moves.)
“Good job, baby! You let mommy mark you so pretty with her hands, and look! Mommy’s name is on your thighs, so that next time you touch yourself you won’t forget who you belong to- I mean, who you’re a baby boy for.” 
You’re basking in happiness, in pride, in complete bliss while he thanks you in small whimpers, hips twitching and hole clenching around your strap. Right, you forgot how long he has been cockwarming you; guess he deserves an even better award. He never manages to hold back for so long when sitting on your silicone cock.
Rubbing your palms around his thighs without moving your stare from his face, you command him to put his hands to use and lift the hem of the skirt, getting a good show of a new dribble of precum dropping heavily onto your pelvis. His dick is even shaking just as much as his body, pulsing even more than any other past encounter. It’s also competing against Kirishima’s red hair for the title of the “most red thing ever to exist”. 
Monoma’s opening and closing his mouth, eyebrows furrowed in question and silent begging.
“You can speak now.”
“M-Mommy, you pro-hah-mised t-to make hn-me cu-um!”
“...Watch that tone, little boy.” You glowered before continuing. “Remind mommy what she promised you and explain why you deserve it.”
Now you’re being unfair again and Monoma doesn’t want to deal with how you’re suddenly trying to milk out his responses to the way you want. Crossing his arms and glaring down at you, he mutters, “Wh-why should I? Did y-you forget?” 
Humming, you move your hands to his hips, rubbing your thumb on the cheap material covering them before beginning to lift him off, at least trying to. “Guess mommy should go back to her room since her baby boy decided to be a little bitch.”
“No!” That’s startling on both your ends hearing such a loud, anguished tone come out of him. Bottom lip trembling and quickly putting his hands to grip tightly at the skirt, Monoma holds back a sob. 
“I’m so-sorry, mommy! ‘m not a-a, um, little b-bitch. I’m sorry.” Ending with a whisper, he slowly puts all of his body weight down on your lap, wanting to keep you there and make it impossible to lift him off, and hangs his head in defeat. (Really, it���s because of shame, but you’ll never hear that from him.)
Do you not realize how hard he’s shaking? He can feel his heartbeat in his ears and hear it from his brain. He’s all sweaty and flushed red, his pupils dilate every time you look deep into them. He’s seen the way your eyes light up when glancing at his weeping dick, and he loves how wet it looks, it feels, it sounds, whenever he shifts. 
Most importantly, other than his neglected manhood slowly turning a shade of purple, his prostate has been teased for so long that he just wants to ride you hard enough to find bruises tomorrow and hypothetically ‘destroy your cock’.
“If you’re sorry, you’ll tell me what I want to hear. I’m not going to repeat what I asked for.”
Gulping to ease down the shame building up in his body, he lifts his head enough to catch your gaze before softly responding. 
“Mommy, um, promised I-I get to cum… she’ll m-make me cum if I-I stopped movin’ s’ much.” Goddamn it, Monoma, get yourself together! “I d-deserve this be-because I stopped. Was a g-good ba-um, baby boy.” He loves hates it when you make him do this, even if not often.
Satisfied with the answer you’ll probably only ever hear once and as clear as possible, you nod your head. 
“Then fuck yourself on my cock, Neito.”
No need to repeat yourself. Every little noise he tried so hard to hold back, every twitch and shudder he tried so hard to subdue, every twist of his face to show off the agonizing pleasure is quickly overcoming his insides and dick.
He’s whimpering so loudly, so shamelessly, as he bounces greedily on your lap. Loud and wet skin slapping against each other, and you at first thought, through every lost huff of air, that it’d be his ass connecting to your lube-covered thighs. Instead, your eyes shift towards his crying cock, the way spurts and spurts of precum are left on your lower abdomen, how this furiously blushing extremity keeps slapping itself onto you with every one of his desperate bounces. It’s even wetter than moments ago, you would’ve thought it’d be lube.
Monoma opens his eyes, which seemed to have closed at some point, and looks down at your face, huffing out airy whines of ‘what’, not knowing what you’re looking at. His dick has been wet with his precum for the past hour, so what could be new?
Until he looks down at himself and is mesmerized with how his dick, heavy with unreleased cum and flushed with blood, is tainting and slapping against your beautiful skin with his horny juice- wait, how stupid is he to refer to his precum as ‘horny juice?’ 
Stupid enough to forget to close his mouth and make his built up drool mix in with the mess below, his whimpers and whiny moans turning into high-pitched cries of your name and loud moans, a normal person would worry about their neighbors. The more he stares at himself, the louder he gets and the sloppier his hips gyrate.
Until he suddenly feels the tip of the toy punch against his prostate. 
“Ahn! AGAIN! A-aga-again! Nngain!” Monoma screams, eyes crossing and welling up with old and new built-up tears, ready to drip down. He’s gripping and pulling the hem of his skirt in all directions, his hands never staying still even when a light rip could be heard upon a harsh pull. He recreates the same move, thighs quivering and tensing, begging to be closed. Each accurate hit to his sensitive spot forces out a louder cry and threatens his tears to let loose. 
His movements get sloppier and lazier. Seems like he’s tiring out, which isn’t good. Sure, you’re hoping to make him cry with pretty tears and ugly sobs, but you were also hoping to make him do so repeatedly. Then again, if he’s tired out, there wouldn't be much fight or snark from him and maybe you can still make him cry freely. 
Good thing you know how to execute fantastic sneak attacks against him.
Under the pillow where your head is situated, you reach for a not-so-small device that kind of looks like a walkie-talkie. Monoma sees this when trying to focus his sight, tensing up at the thought that maybe you were recording this for some benefit or blackmail. But why would you want to blackmail your own boyfriend? Had he done something not to your liking?
The answer came in the form of loud buzzing and sudden quaking starting from deep inside him. 
“Wh-wh-wha-what is- hnngh, st-sto-op!”  Monoma wails out, almost falling onto your body with how powerful the vibrations are churning hot inside of him. His vision is getting blurry, blocked by the tears that finally, finally are let go and kiss his cheeks with every hot trail left behind. 
“You, oh, want me to stop?” He can kind of see your wicked grin, the mockery in your tone and amusement oozing out making him let even more tears fall. Why would you want to stop? 
“St-sto-op?! No? N-no! No! P-pluh-plea- nnnghh!” 
Ah, so he’s gone dumb. He doesn’t realize he said to stop. Well, now you can either continue watching him break on your lap and admire the waterfall of precum and fresh tears and make him continue working for his orgasm; or, you can tease him some more while turning up the intensity of the toy, now that it’s pleasuring you for once. The way it tickles your clit is enough to make your panting much more noticeable and thighs tense. You wonder how a setting at 4 could already drag out such reactions from the blond male. Enticed now, you decide to go with the second choice. 
“P-pluh-plea…? Didn’t think y-you’d be stupid! Where did m-my smart-mouthed baby go? Ugh.” 
“N-n’where m’mmy! ‘m h-here- Fuck! Fuck, pl-please! Please! Mo-more? Nngh!”
“You’re slurring, b-baby. But, you a-asked politely.” You hover your thumb over the ‘+’ button, hips grinding upward to drag out some more tears, more cries, more whimpers as you melt into the bed.
“Mommy’s g-gonna count to 10, al-alright? Ugh, then you’ll c-cum, mm. Understand?” 
You’ve never seen so much eagerness come from Monoma before, well, not unless it’s because he knows he’ll win at something or get to prove his worth even more. But the way he nods reminds you of a bobblehead: empty in the head, cute to look at. 
“G-good. Don’t forget t-to keep riding m-mommy’s big, th-thick cock.” You then lower your voice, sending shivers down his spine even with how hot he feels. “Understand?”
You don’t wait to see more of his eager nods. You press down on the button until it reaches the maximum intensity, which makes your hips jolt up so harshly, thrusting the silicon toy back up to him that it’s enough to make him squeal. Now that’s new. 
As much as you’re enjoying how satisfying the stimulation is on your wet cunt, you can’t help but moan out loud Monoma’s name as the boy’s reduced to short-lived squeals and rapid hiccups, so rapid that you’re beginning to think he might be hyperventilating. Worried, you bring your thumb to reduce the intensity before feeling him grind so desperately on your lap. So without any more distractions or hesitations, you quickly begin the countdown.
“Ten.” Monoma repeats with a strained moan, his hands flailing about as he tries to grab purchase onto something, letting go of his ‘forgotten’ skirt.
“N-nine.” Monoma finally plants his trembling hands onto your shoulders, pinning you down enough to give enough strength to his arms. Hovering over you, you frown at his skirt-covered dick. 
“Ei-eight.” Monoma tenses his thighs as much as possible to stop the shaking. Even if it didn’t do much, he begins riding you again with more vigor and desperation than previously. A high-pitched whine of your name quickly leaves him as his sensitive dick receives friction from the fabric covering it, the stain that had dried over time reviving as more precum marks it.
“Seven- shit.” Monoma’s trying to look down at you. He can’t really see much of anything, not with his tears never stopping or his mind not setting back into an intellectual phase. He can barely think to say anything else but lewd chants of your name and ‘please’, ‘more’, ‘faster’. It’s not until he moans out a timid “f-fu-ugh- fuck!” that you pay mind to the rapidly growing heat in your stomach.
“Six! Fuck, Neito!” Monoma’s continuous chants and growing volume suddenly sound babbled as he drools down on you, his saliva hitting your chin before you growl up at him. No words are exchanged as he swallows the liquid that had accumulated, although with difficulty. His thighs are beginning to burn and shake with exhaustion, quaking even worse than when he was cockwarming you. His riding turned into hard bouncing, finally stealing your breath away physically and providing some movement on the other end of the silicone toy to press harder onto your clit. 
“Fi-five!” Monoma’s eyes cross for the second time, staying longer in that position as he chokes on his scream, all because you’re beginning to meet up with your own thrusts. Your feet planted on the bed as you let go of the control for the vibrator, gripping onto his hips tightly to match him with you. You’re beginning to moan so sweetly, gasping out his name loud enough for him to-
“Cl-clo-ose! F-ugh-fuck! Fuck! Clo-oooose!” 
“Ho-hold it! Hold i-it, baby, a-almost the-there!” God, the heat is growing so deep in you that you know this will be violent.
“Four- shiiit.” Monoma’s sobbing now, ever since you told him to hold it. Mission accomplished, so far. He’s blinking rapidly, trying to get rid of the tears and allow him to actually see you. He needs to see your lewd faces, ignoring the fact he is probably rivaling yours. The intense need to cum is building up far too quickly for him to even catch up and he just wants to cum right here, right now. But if he does, you’ll punish him. So, he tries his best to hold it. 
“Three! Three, Neito!” Monoma’s trying so hard to not cum, to not even think about it, but how can he if his prostate is being overstimulated and his cock keeps receiving such familiar friction, enough to make him sob even louder. He’s not going to make it.
“T-two! Lif-ft your sk-skirt!” Monoma can’t or else he’ll fall on you. But you’re grabbing onto him so hard that he hasn’t felt the need to support himself on your shoulders. Using whatever energy he has left, he throws himself up to his old sitting position, making his bouncing sloppier and unsynchronized with your thrusts. He quickly grabs onto the wet hem, biting his lip as he tries to swallow and control his sobs. Lifting it, he’s rewarded with the sight of his slick covered cock, so red and noticeably throbbing that his eyes slightly roll to the back of his head.
“One! Fuck, one!” Monoma’s mouth opens wide, his throat constricting as every choked moan and cry tries to escape while his ass begins to tighten alarmingly fast around the toy. He jumps when he feels something wrap around him, quickly looking down at himself again to see, then feel, you viciously stroke him. And that does it.
“Cum.”
Monoma gasps as he relaxes his thighs and lets go. One more hit to his prostate and he’s…
He’s quiet.
Your eyes are as wide as dinner plates as you watch him reach his orgasm: on you, in all his beautiful glory, is Monoma Neito. A guy whose back is arched at a certain angle you’re sure it’s uncomfortable. A guy whose nipples are completely being seen through the drenched crop top. A guy whose mouth is leaking trails of drool, but not as much as his eyes are leaking streams of unstoppable tears. A guy whose face is so red and sweaty, his bangs are striking to the skin and his eye color pops out more. A guy whose only warning of his cum leaving his body, as much as his soul had, is to roll his eyes so violently to the back of his head and convulse forward.
You forget about your orgasm as you try your best to support his body in the current position, not wanting him to fall on you or backward. Well, maybe you should’ve let him fall onto you.
His cum spurts seem to be gold medal Olympians in ‘how far can we reach’ and ‘how much can we be’. The first one barely misses your eyes, but the second one hits you on the forehead. With each spurt leaving his twitching cock, Monoma hiccups whiney and loud words of gratitude and mercy, hips jumping up, torso jolting forward. His knuckles are white upon the unforgivable grip he has on his absolutely ruined skirt, slowly but surely being dirtied with each load forced out of him with the still-buzzing toy inside him.
This whole scene is enough to remind you about turning down the intensity of the vibrations while grinding slowly, both to help milk him out his incredibly overwhelming high and to bring you back to the tip of paradise. 
By the time he’s done, he nearly collapses on you but first lifts himself, somehow, off of the toy before leaning back onto your lifted thighs. He’s still twitching, the color of his face slowly coming back as his eyes dry up from the tears. The socks have moved a bit down on his legs and most of the pretty hello-kitty themed hair clips are barely fastened on his hair. You’re pretty sure some are littered around the bed.
Monoma’s eyeing his mess curiously and taking in a cum-covered you before he scoops up some of his cum, tastes himself and you both moan softly. You turn the toy off, still rolling your hips as much as possible to ride out your harsh, hot, and wet orgasm. You’re pretty sure you somehow squirted, but that doesn’t matter too much right now. 
Because the moment Monoma came back to his senses and made eye contact with you, you find yourself living in a slow-motion picture: with a shaky hand, he uses the same fingers to write down his first name before scooping up as much of his excess cum and, without any warning, moves forward to thrust his fingers in your mouth, dragging the pads of his fingertips down onto your tongue as you swallow. 
Pulling his fingers out slowly while giggling breathlessly, his signature smirk grows onto his blissed-out face.
“H-how do I ta-taste, m-mommy?”

Summary - Draco’s POV on losing his soulmate
Draco Malfoy x Reader

AN- I am so sorry this took so long, I hope you all enjoy it!
Part 1  2

Sometimes Draco thought about how different his life would be had he not left you, had you not gotten hurt and lost your fucking memory.
It was truly ridiculous, the universe was actively conspiring against him, he was sure of it.
His current living situation just proved that further to him. “Wake the fuck up.” Blaise said slowly pouring water on his face even though Blaise himself was evidently groggy. “I will kill you.”
“Looking forward to it.”
Draco was unsure as to why Blaise had chosen to live in a crappy apartment when his family Manor was free. He missed his silk sheets and expensive pillows. Yet sadly the ministry had decided they wanted to take that leaving Draco on Blaise’s smelly consignment store couch. Had he gotten completely cut off by his family? Perhaps, it would make the disgustingly plain beans and toasts they ate daily make a lot more sense. He’d hate to think that Blaise fed them this by choice.
“Guess who wrote.” Blaise said, wiggling a letter in Draco’s face.
“Loud ginger?”
“Loud ginger.” He confirmed dropping it in on Draco’s face. “You should answer her before we get a howler, then we’ll really see how loud the ginger can get.” Draco looked at the letter, Ginny’s name was scrawled on the envelope and the aggressiveness of the signature made him heavily considering not opening it but the possibility of getting a howler from her convinced him otherwise.
Draco,
You are the worst and I hate you. I’m not sure if you care anymore given that you have refused to make contact with her but y/n is doing fine. I mean sure she’s been asking about her soulmate and lying to her is slowly killing me, but I’m glad you and Blaise are having fun in your bachelor pad and that you have successfully cleared your amnesiac soulmate out of your head.  
Looking forward to hearing your pathetic excuses,
Ginny Weasley.
It was way too fucking early for this.
-
Things were strange.
You had gotten most of your memories back but everything was very different than what you remembered, everyone was different after the war.
The Weasleys, oh the poor Weasleys, they were like your family but the life has been sucked out of them without Fred. They had all tried to hide it from you, they believed you were already going through enough and you didn’t need their problems too. Ginny especially, she hadn’t left your side since you woke up. You kind of felt bad for Harry because whenever he wanted to spend some one on one time with Ginny she always insisted you tagged along.
For example whatever the fuck this current situation was.
“I’m really sorry Harry.” You whispered to him. “I told her I’d be fine alone.”
At first it had sort of made sense how careful everyone had been around you, but at this point it was exhausting. You would walk into a room and it would just go silent. You lost your memory, not your basic communication skills.
“It’s fine, I understand Ginny can be quite persistent.”
“What about me.” Ginny said hooking her arms with the both of you.
“Just that I don’t think I should be going on your dates anymore, it’s kind-“
“Ginny.” Harry said interrupting you pointing towards a boy down the street. He was blonde and lanky, shifting his weight from foot to foot.
You had seen Ginny mad, in fact it was one of the first things to come back to you. Her calm fury was something that hadn’t remained constant since she was young and right now you saw it on her face as she stared daggers into the boy.
She scoffed. “I’ll be back.”
“This might take a while.” Harry said quietly, shaking his head. “Come on we can meet Ginny there.” You stole a glance across the street as Harry dragged you away. Ginny was yelling at the boy but he didn’t seem to care because he wasn’t looking at her he was looking at you. You felt your face heat up and you looked away from him following Harry. “Who was that, should I know him?”
Harry paused for a minute.
He had that face that people had whenever they were walking on eggshells around you.“He went to school with us but I don’t think you two were ever friends.” The way he didn’t look you in the eyes screamed to you that he was lying.Harry was always a horrible bloody liar.
-
It was really hard for Draco to process what Ginny was saying. Her anger had gone right to her face and Draco had been silently betting with himself as to how long it would take for her face to turn the same color as her hair. “Your face is really red.” Draco said, struggling to hold back his laughter. “Are you drunk.” Ginny said stoically.
Was he? It was likely, he honestly couldn't remember the morning or yesterday. The days were sort of blending together.
“Malfoy.” Ginny said. Usually when people used his name they were yelling at him or were angry at him. But Ginny said it with pity which somehow felt worse.
“I don’t get why you're doing this to yourself.” She said. “You’re miserable.” He deserved to be miserable.
“It’s for the best.”
“How’s that.”
Draco had no interest in divulging his feelings to weaslette of all people, but it seemed his judgement was slightly impaired by the alcohol he may or may not had been drinking. “I’m going to fucking Azakban Ginevra,I just dont see the point in telling her I’m her soulmate and possibly facing rejection just for me to be thrown in Azkaban for the rest of my life.” Draco huffed. “Even if she somehow forgave me, I doubt the dementors will be allowing conjugal visits.”
“There are no more dementors at Azkaban, Kingsley got rid of them.”
Now normally Draco was against hitting girls but he was considering it heavily. “Thank you Weasley. I feel way better, I’m sure Azkaban is a paradise now. Remind me to send Kingsley a thank you letter.”
“Draco.” Ginny said.
Gross, hearing Ginny say his first name with pity felt even worse.
“You’re not going to Azkaban, Harry agreed to speak at your trial.”
“Oh great he’ll testify to the one time I helped him, I’m sure it’ll cancel everything else out.” He said. “I’m not a good person Weasley, that’s why I know I’m going to Azkaban, because I deserve it.”
“Is that why you’re staying away from y/n?” Ginny said even angrier than before. “Is this some sort of self punishment.”
Draco stayed quiet.
“Merlin, Draco go to fucking therapy.” Ginny huffed. “You’re not the only one that’ll suffer because of your self pity. She needs her fucking soulmate back, as much as I hate you for everything you’ve put her through I can’t argue with the fucking universe and neither can you.”
“Exactly.”
“What?”
“I shouldn’t have fucking gotten involved with her in the first place, it’s only put her in danger.” He took a deep shaky breath. “And her losing her memory was the universe’s way of telling me to stay away.”
He had known for a long time that she was too good for him  
It was dark and he was tired, turns out making potter stinks badges and teaching all of Slytherin clever chants was demanding. Draco wasn't really paying attention to his surroundings as he walked back to his dorm until of course he heard quiet sobs. He was a firm believer that crying in public was pathetic, especially in a hallway where anyone could stumble across you. And he might’ve told them that had it not been you. He had been thinking about you, not that he would ever tell anyone that ever. But how could he not, you were his soulmate and that had to mean something.
He barely had time to think as his feet moved on their own bringing him in front of you.
“Why are you crying.”
Merlin, could he have been any less compassionate.
“Why do you care Malfoy.” You said.
He hated the way you looked pretty even if your eyes were all puffy and your face was all red.
“I don’t.”
He did. He even started to walk away for dramatic effect of course.
“I’m scared.” It felt weird to hear sincere words from you that weren't you yelling at him, and he hated the fact that he didn't hate it. “Harry has his first task tomorrow he could get hurt or worse.”
“I wouldn’t worry about that. Don’t tell him I told you this but he has to be some sort of invincible to defeat Voldemort at the age of 1. Don't you think?”He could hardly believe the words he was saying.
“I suppose you’re right.” You finished off.
Draco sat tensely, he wasn't exactly sure what to do. He couldn't hug you could he? No that would be seriously overstepping. You would probably punch him in the face, again. After all you had been the one who wanted to forget about the whole soulmate thing and of course you were a halfblood and a gryffindor on top of that. It would never work.
For once he hated being right.

You were actively weighing how likely it was for Ginny to kill you if you woke her up.
Very, is what you eventually came up with. Maybe you could play the amnesia card.
“What do you want y/n.” Ginny grogged from under her. “I’ve been listening to you shifting around for the last hour.”
You had been staying at the Weasley’s and you had absolutely refused to take Fred’s bed so that had resulted in a cramped hammock floating in Ginny’s room.
You turned around to face her with a sorry look on your face.
“Did I know that boy, the one you were yelling at.” You said. “I just feel like I knew him.”
Ginny was quiet the same way Harry was. “No.” She said turning away from you. “No you didn’t.”
“Ginny-”
“Y/n please don’t.” Ginny said, cutting you off. “It’s not for me to tell, if it was believe me you’d already know.”
“I want to go.”
“Go where.”
“To Hogwarts.”
It was embarrassing. Everyone had gone already; they had been able to at least attempt to cope with the trauma they had endured. And you who couldn't even remember the bloody war couldn't work up the nerves to go.
Ginny stared at you for a bit before muttering. “Hermione and Ron are going soon, they’ll likely let you join them.” You were about to make an argument about going on your own before Ginny turned back around nonverbally telling you that the conversation was over.
You still couldn’t sleep and not from lack of trying. Your mind was whirring, ever since you had seen Ginny yell at the boy your lack of memory seemed to be feeling different. And your fear was beginning to settle in, your doctor said that some memories may never come back and that thought made you sick to your stomach. You didn’t feel all that different, Ginny said you were the same whenever you asked. But she could be lying (since she seemed to be in the habit of doing so these days) and you would never know because you had amnesia.

Draco was regretting not taking his plea deal. He would much rather be sleeping in Azkaban than waking up on Blaise’s concerningly uncomfortable couch to an angry looking ginger towering over him. No one seemed to value his rest and it was getting ridiculous. He pressed his eyes closed and pull his blanket further over his face in hopes that maybe Ginevra would disappear. Sadly that was not the case and Ginny ripped the blanket off of him leaving Draco quite cold.
Ginny stared down at him as she stood impatiently at the foot of the couch.
“Blaise someone broke into your flat.”
“I noticed mate.” Blaise said who looked just as exhausted hunched over his coffee.
“We need to talk.”
“We talked remember, or were you drunk too?”
Ginny did not look amused and Draco almost felt bad for being so difficult but then he remembered he didn't care.
“Y/n’s going to Hogwarts with Ron and Hermione. She’s likely going to get her memories back.” Ginny said. “Thought you should know.”
Draco sat up. “Okay.”
“Okay?” Ginny said taking a deep breath. “You need to be there.”
“How so?”
“She’s going to remember all the shitty things you’ve done to her and are yet to apologize for and you’re going to lose your soulmate for good.”
“I don't see how me being there will change that.”
Ginny didn't answer him rather she walked towards his chimney. “You know what, screw you. I truly do not care if you go, I just thought you should have the choice that's all.”
Ginny didn't look at Draco, rather giving Blaise a short nod before using the floo to go back to the Burrow.
Draco let himself fall back down to the couch as he listened to Blaises loudly chow down his cereal.
“So are you going to go?” Blaise said his mouth still full.
He felt bad for Blaise’s mum all that money on etiquette lessons for what?
“No.” Draco said, burying his head in his pillow.
“You’re a tosser.”
“I can live with that.”
He could and he has. If he had a sickle for everytime he was called some variation of ‘tosser’ he certainly would not be sleeping on Blaise’s couch.
“I’m calling Pansy.” Blaise didn’t scare him, not in the slightest. But Pansy was another story, Pansy scared everyone, especially the people that loved her which sadly included Draco. “I will kill you.”
“You’re just saying that cause you know she’ll knock some sense into you.”
“I have a lot of sense.” Draco groaned. “In fact I have too much sense.”
Blaise ignored Draco’s exaggerated groans as he called Pansy.The call was short or maybe it was long, all Draco knew was that Pansy was standing over him with that look on her face.
“I’m not going, and you’re not changing my mind Pansy.”
“Blaise leave.” Pansy ordered.
Blaise looked insulted. “This is my house.”
“You call this a house?”
Blaise huffed mumbling under his breath curses at Pansy.
“That was rude.”
“So you're going to lecture me on rudeness now, that's rich coming from you.”
“I dont care.”
“You look and smell like shit, I can tell you ‘don’t care’.” Pansy said.
Never in her life had Pansy been one to sugar coat things and apparently she had no intention of starting to do so. Draco was going to argue it was the couch but he realized he couldn't remember the last time he showered so he kept his mouth shut. Draco a year ago would’ve drowned himself in the black lake had he known he’d come to be like this.
“Fuck off.”
“I’m pulling the card.”
“Pansy no that’s not fair.” Draco said sitting up.
“Fair?”
Poor choice of words.
“Draco, do I have to remind you my soulmate is dead, I stopped feeling tugs and being able to talk to my soulmate when i was 13. Your soulmate is alive by some fucking miracle, and frankly you’re being a selfish prick.”
“Oh.” He always hated when Pansy talked about it. Not because he didn't care but according to Pansy because he cared too much and the last time he had shown any sign of pity towards Pansy it had not gone well for him.
“What lies do you have Ginevra feeding her, does she think she has no soulmate, does she think her soulmate is dead?”
“She doesn’t think she has a soulmate.” Draco said in a low voice, he wasn't proud of what he was doing but he also knew he had no choice. “She was in her coma during the tug. I figured by the time the next one rolls around I have something figured out.”
“And what about you.” She asked. “She may not remember you but you’ll remember her, you'll never forget that you have a soulmate out there that you refuse to see.”
“I won't let myself ruin her.”
“She’s a grown woman, I find it demeaning that you don't see her capable of making her own damn choices.”
“What?”
“You think she'll hate you, you think she’ll be ruined, you think she’s better off. What about what she thinks? You think she'd be okay with you slowly killing yourself?”
“You're a bitch Pansy.”
“So I’ve been told.” She looked towards the clock.
“Come on lets get you something to eat.”
She reached her hand out for Draco to grab.
“I can walk to the kitchen without holding your hand thank you very much.”
Pansy rolled her eyes and grabbed onto Draco’s arm.
“What are you-”
Draco’s sentence was cut off by Pansy apparating them both out of the loft.
-
Draco had gone to his fair share of therapy, did it ever work? no, Draco would rather die before talking about his feelings with a stranger but he had been taught his fair share of anger exercises . And Merlin did they come in handy, truly it was the only thing keeping him from throttling Pansy as she stood there with a smug face looking at the rubble that once was Hogwarts.
“Pansy.” Draco said slowly.
“Shut up, look she’s right there.”
“I’m not ready Pansy.” Draco said wiping his palms on his pants out of stress. “I wanted to bring her flowers.”
“flowers?”
“Forget me nots.” He said with a sardonic dry chuckle. “It was our unofficial flower, ironic isn’t it.”
“The fact that you have an unofficial flower makes me want to throw up.”
“I need flowers.” He said. Pansy groaned before searching the grass. She picked up a dandelion swirling her wand transfiguring it into a bouquet of forget me nots.
“Here, go.” He was about to give another excuse but Pansy apperated away. The one time he needed her she leaves.
He wasn’t exactly sure how he was supposed to approach her without seeming like a stalker.
His thoughts were disrupted by Hermione and Ron walking up to him. He wanted to turn around so bad but he had no doubt that if he did so Hermione and Ron wouldn’t hesitate to curse him.
“Granger, Weasley.” He said sticking his hands as deep as his pockets would allow him.
“I didn’t think you were going to come.” Hermione said.
Draco shrugged.
“Just go talk to her.” Ron said.
“Thats why Im here.”
Ron mumbled something under his breath but Draco didn’t feel like fighting Weasley.
Draco had never felt such anxiety because of another person. He had always been confident and walked around like he owned the world, but now he felt scared.He watched you as you traced your hands across the bricks of Hogwarts, his steps faltering as he came closer to you.
“Hi Y/n.” He called out.
You turned to look at him. Draco’s heart felt heavy at the way you looked at him, not any recognition in your eyes. You had once looked at him with such love, then such hate but now you looked at him with nothing. because right now that’s what he was to you, and it broke his heart.
“You.” You said stepping closer. “You were the one talking to Ginny.”
“I wouldn’t really call it talking, she yelled I stood there.”
“Ginny does that a lot.” You shrugged.
“Yeah.” He said.
You spotted the flowers in his hands.
“I’m sorry, who did you lose?”
His hands tightened on the flowers.
“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.” You said. “I lost my friend Fred, and my memory. But I don't feel like I lost it since I can't remember ever having it. But I miss Fred.”
He studied every centimeter of your face noting the subtle changes he didn’t notice the last time he saw you as you rambled on about Fred anxiously.
“You.” He said voice wavering. “I lost you.”
You stayed quiet for a second.
“I’m sorry I-“
“don’t know who I am?” He said with a dry laugh. “I was sort of expecting that.”
You didn’t say anything studying his face for anything that sparked a memory in you.
He dug through his jacket pocket pulling out a photo.
His hands were sweating and he tried his best not to touch your hand. Partially because he didn’t want you to feel his sweaty hands and because he feared he would break down at the realization that you were finally here in front of him.
“I’m Draco and you’re my soulmate.” He said

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Tumblr media
Turning off your alarm, you get out of bed and get dressed for school. Today you were supposed to have a father-daughter date with your dad after school. You decided to wear a plain black flowy shirt, a pair of skinny jeans, and your white Doc Martens.
Throwing you backpack over your shoulder, you head down to the kitchen to get some breakfast and tell everyone good morning before you leave for school. "Mornin' everybody! Hey, dad. Did you pick out where we're going today?" you say with a toothy smile.
"Hey, sweetheart. What're we going out for, again?" he sounded confused, but you just ignored it.
"For our father-daughter date, dummy." you said, jokingly punching his arm. Not that it'd hurt him. He's a super soldier for crying out loud.
"Oh, yeah. About that... We're gonna have to reschedule our dinner tonight, hun. We can do it another night. The team and I are going to meet the new recruit tonight. You should meet him too!" he was rubbing the back of his neck, hoping that you wouldn't be too upset.
"But we've always had our dates on the first Friday of every month. We can't just skip this month!" He's not seriously going to reschedule dinner because of a new recruit... he wouldn't do that to you, right?
"I know, I know. Can we please just have dinner another night? This new recruit could be some serious help for the team."
"Yeah, okay. Whatever. I've got to get to school. I'll see ya when I get back." He's seriously gonna choose the recruit over me, his own daughter? No, maybe it's just more important than I realize.
---------------
"Y/n, its probably nothing. Maybe he just needs to talk to some new people. Being stuck in ice for 70 years and all, he doesn't have many friends," your friend, Milo, tries to reason.
"The recruit is my age. He's a highs schooler. My dad isn't gonna make friends with some high schooler. I don't know. I guess we'll just wait and see." It's nothing, he needs to get to know the recruit anyways...
---------------
After a long and tiring day at school, you get home to see you dad and the new recruit going over what you're guessing is paper work.
"Hey, dad. Hey, new recruit. It's nice to meet you, I'm y/n." you say, holding a hand out for him to shake.
"I'm Parker Peter. I-i-i mean, Peter Parker." he says with a wide smile. You can see his cheeks become a little more red.
"Well, it's nice to meet you Peter. How long do you think you'll be staying tonight? I can't have you stealing my dad from me already!" you say, jokingly. The three of you let out a short laugh.
"I'm not sure. I guess I'll leave once I've gotten the tour and we've gone through all of the paper work." Peter says. Why does he need a tour? He's only here to train, right?
"Sounds good! I'll be in my room if y'all need anything." you say, adding a fake smile. Turning around, you head to your room. The rest of the night, you do nothing but homework, completely forgetting about Peter.
---------------
The next few days consisted of the same exact thing. You'd eat breakfast, go to school, come home and greet your dad and Peter, and go do homework. Had your dad asked you how your day was during the few days? Not once. Had he asked Peter how his day was? Yep. Did your dad ask if you needed help with homework? Nope. Did he ask Peter? Of course he did. Every day. I can't believe it... Is my dad replacing me with Peter? No, he's just helping him out, right? Right.
The next day was Wednesday, which meant you got to workout with your dad and Peter. 'Oh boy. I get to train with two abnormally strong superheros. Yay.' you thought sarcasticly. You went about your day as you usually do. On the way home from school, you texted your dad to let him know you might be a little late because of traffic. You When you got home, you changed into workout leggings and a sports bra, and headed to the gym where you usually meet your dad for workouts. You then realized that your dad hadn't texted you back. When you walk into the gym, you figured out why. Him and Peter were already halfway through the workout that y'all were supposed to be doing together.
At this point, you're starting to realize that your dad is actually replacing you with Peter. Peter's like the son he never got. He's been pushing you and the plans you've made to the side. He's been making Peter his priority.
Walking up to the two sweaty guys, tapping them on the shoulders to get their attention. "Peter, I hate you. No offense though. It's not your fault. Dad, can I talk to you? In private, please?" You do hate Peter, but not because he did anything wrong. He didn't. He's a real good kid. But he's you dad's favorite now. He replaced you, but he didn't know it. So, by default, you hate Peter.
"Hey! Don't talk to Peter like that! He didn't do anything wrong. You can't just walk in here and tell him you hate him. That's not how it works," he practically yells. Your dad never yells at you. The harsh reaction cause tears to swell up in your eyes.
"Dad. I need to talk to you. In private. Away from Peter."
"It can wait. Let us finish what we were doing. Then, we can talk. Got it?" he said sternly.
"Yes sir." you say, holding back tears that you knew would fall as soon as you turn around. And you were right. As soon as you turned around to go to your room, the tears fell, and they wouldn't stop. It only got worse when you got to your room. Forgetting to ask F.R.I.D.A.Y. to soundproof your room, you continue sobbing, yelling every now and again. Bucky, in the room next to yours, heard your crying.
Bucky was always there for you. He had been since the day he met you. His face when he found out Steve, THE Steven Grant Rogers, had a daughter. You and him have been close ever since. He's more like a best friend than an uncle if you're being honest. You go to him for everything. Well, almost anything. You hadn't told him about what was going on with you and your dad. You knew he'd be pissed about how your dad was treating you and go argue with him about it. You didn't want to make a big deal of it or anything at first, in case it was nothing.
Bucky, hearing you crying, run out of his room and to your door, softly knocking on it. "Y/n? Hun? Can you please let me in? It's Bucky."
You slowly stand up and walk towards the door, opening it. Looking up at him, with red eyes and mascara running down your checks, you move back to the bed. Bucky closes the door and sits next to you. "You wanna talk about it?" That's always the first question either if you ask when one of you is in this kinda situation.
"I don't know. I don't know, Buck." You lean into his shoulder, crying again.
"That's okay. Take your time, y/n/n. I'll be right back." he says, standing up from the bed. You see him walk into your bathroom, knowing exactly what he's doing. The two of you have a good routine for these kinda nights. It's usually always the same, but it works. When you're crying like you are now, you get horrible headaches. So, Bucky will always get you some ibuprofen and water to help. When he gets back from the bathroom, he hands you a two small pills and a glass a water. Without a second thought, you swallow the pills and some of the water. You thank him and set the glass on your nightstand. Pulling the covers up over your shoulders, you lay back down.
"Thank you.."
"Mhm. Are you gonna sleep first? Or talk? You know we're gonna talk about it at some point."
"I know, I know. Can I sleep right now? We can talk about it another time. I'm exhausted."
"Yeah, of course. But you're not getting out of it, and I'm not giving you the whole 'Its not healthy to keep it all in' lecture. You've heard it enough, so have I."
"Thanks. Mucho appreciated, old man."
"No problem, kiddo. Get some rest, we'll talk tomorrow. 'Night, sweetheart."
"Night, Buck."
---------------
A/N: Cool. This is part one of this. Yes, I will (eventually) finish part two of Excuses. I have no idea when, but eventually. Same goes for part two of this one. But I really like this first part, so I think it'll continue. Thoughts? I hope y'all like it :))

Why I, a former age regressor, do not support age regression as it is shown in media
On social media there’s this video that’s going around of an age regressor that I’ve had many issues with. If you go in the comments of these posts you’ll have three types of people: the ones who make fun of it, the ones who try to defend it, and the ones that tell the ones who defend it how harmful these actions are.
In all of these posts, you know what I find? People who say “it’s a trauma response” “most people don’t have control over it” and yet also say “it’s a coping mechanism and dressing up is soothing” despite that being a completely different thing, and will go on about how “doctors recommend it” despite that making no sense
Let me clear one thing up: dressing up in baby clothing, coloring in coloring books, drinking out of sippy cups are all dress up games.
ACTUAL age regression is your body doing childlike things or sending yourself into a child like state to better handle your trauma
Let’s take me for example. I naturally did it from actual trauma. When I was about 6 mo, my mom stopped me from sucking on my fingers. But I was raised in a very abusive household and you know what I did? As I turned 2yo I started sucking on my fingers again and every night I slept with my baby blanket(the blanket that came with my crib). I would suck on my fingers originally at night, but then it got worse to the point where I was constantly doing it.
I didn’t stop doing this until I was 17 (last summer). I would wear long sleeves and hide my hand in it while I did it at school because I was constantly stressed out. You know how when you take away a baby’s binky, It’ll start crying and getting fussy or even throw a tantrum? That’s what I did. If we were doing a lot of activities that required your hands I would get overwhelmed and start to cry because I couldn’t calm down and the emotions over flooded my brain. You couldn’t hold a conversation with me because when this happened I would snap at others and say hateful things.
And not only this, but when this happened my mind would “shut down” as we said, and I couldn’t think. I couldn’t form any coherent thoughts because all I could think of was how I was feeling. There was no reasoning with me, all I could think of was me wanting to soothe myself, I couldn’t do my work, I couldn’t have long conversations with people, etc. I couldn’t tell people when there was something wrong, I would just sit there and cry because that’s all I could handle.
Now note: there was no dress up. There was no “coloring” or drinking out of sippy cups. These were habits that I had when I was young that I started again because my brain couldn’t handle the trauma.
Now, I recently went through tf-cbt (trauma focused- cognitive behavioral therapy) where I was told these were horrible habits to do and I should steer far away from them. My counselor told me that it was a clear sign of child abuse/child trauma and I had PTSD, and helped me get the diagnosis for places like school and work. She told me that age regression is a defense mechanism that your body takes so that you can handle what’s going on around you. Your body and mind regresses to points where you were at your calmest and use those habits/actions to give you a better control on yourself, but they make you unstable when you can’t do these actions and you end up doing way more harm to yourself than good.
Not only this but my habit deformed my mouth severely. I finally got approved for braces and when they did the X-rays and measured everything they told me I had about an INCH of space between by bottom and top row of teeth. I couldn’t eat in public because I had to bite with the side of my mouth. I couldn’t form words properly and constantly fumbled. It was embarrassing how awful they were and I ended up having the teeth behind my canines pulled because there wasn’t enough room to pull everything back. 2.5 years later and I’m STILL in braces because of how hard it is to fix this. And my middle and index finger are deformed too, they’re bent at awkward angles and I can’t hold them straight because of the 15 years of constantly being pushed that way.
Age regression is now a TRIGGER for me because it gets my blood pumping and makes me feel sick and I get so unreasonably angry at these people for not even knowing what they’re talking about. My head gets light and I can feel all the blood rush from it and I feel like I’m gonna fall over if I stand because of how many times I’ve tried to explain to people my situation and they’ve told me “fuck off if you don’t actually age regress or are a little youre an ableist fuck and there’s a special place in hell for people like you” when I’m the one who has an actual PTSD diagnosis and has gone through the whole speal of getting help.
Age regression is not okay. It’s not heathy. Your mind can’t properly handle the things that are going on around you and it shuts down and brings you back into a state of mind that your body knows it can handle. It’s unhealthy because you never actually face what’s going on and the issues only build and build until you burst because everything has been suppressed, not coped with. These habits can destroy your life and you can lose all your relationships (like with me) due to it.
If you “age regress” because it’s FUN you’re just playing dress up and are MOCKING people with an actual issue. Go fuck yourself if you really think that, because that’s like me saying “oh I pretend to have war flash backs because I think being a soldier is cool”
So for those of you who support this and say doctors recommend it: you’re lying. You’re literally lying right to our faces and are trying to justify you having playtime and not wanting to grow up when there’s actual people who do this because of trauma and get suppressed because they’re “not real agere. I HATE the term “little” because it’s making a FOOL of me, I’m not a “little”, I didn’t age regress because I had a choice, it was my body’s way of coping and it was HORRIBLE, and the way that media has made it into “oh yes look at this decorative binky I got and this new children’s coloring book” sickens me.
So yeah, I have a DNI. And that DNI says “age regressors” because I’m sick and tired of being grouped in a category of people who are using the term wrong and take away from people who do this because of actual issues in their life

Déjà  vu? || Draco Malfoy
Requested: No Pairing: Draco Malfoy x ex!fem!reader Warnings: Idk if this is angsty or not because I initially thought it was but it feels a bit like soft sadness to me? Summary: Y/N getting deja vu as you watch Draco with his new girlfriend (H/N - her name)
WORDS : 1950
Lyrics from “Deja Vu” by Olivia Rodrigo (but I got lazy and only used certain parts)
~~~
Car rides to Malibu Strawberry ice cream, one spoon for two And tradin' jackets Laughin’ 'bout how small it looks on you (Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha)
“Draco stop!” A voice exclaims before being followed by laughter. You know that you shouldn’t turn around, that it’ll hurt too much, but it’s been said many times that curiosity killed the cat.
He’s holding the very same ice cream order, strawberry and pistachio, and sporting that familiar warm smile that used to comfort you when you got a brain freeze from the ice cream. It had been your idea, ice cream in November, and he’d hated it at first but grew to love it just because it made you happy. That very same order that you’d made him try, strawberry and pistachio, but not for the two of you this time.
It’s difficult to know what you were expecting, something new? Different? A part of you had always known, even while you were the one in H/N’s position, that your moments with Draco would soon be documented and used for a modern remake. If your relationship had been a book, theirs is the movie adaption. If your relationship had been a song, theirs is a cover band’s rendition. Maybe, deep down, you were expecting just this- to see him treating her the same way that he’d treated you.
Those pale hands, that used to fit so comfortably in the expanse of your own, are now tucked safely in-between hers. Oceans of blue that used to run over your shivering figure every November when you made this exact Hogsmeade trip, are now tracing the lines of her face and committing them to memory. Lips, cold and slightly chapped, that were once coaxing laughter from your lungs with horrible puns and crude observations, are now completely and utterly consumed with the sole objective of entertaining her the very same way that they entertained you.
It’s a bitter sight, one would think, but you can’t bring yourself to be jealous. It’s an odd sort of feeling, deja vu, to know that once this moment belonged to you, and now you have to watch it play out in front of you. You know what’s going to happen, down to the footprints that’ll stain the path back to Hogwarts, but this time it’s not you. This time, even though you know what’s going to happen next, it’s not your laughter that’ll be filling the silence as he walks back to school.
Watching reruns of Glee Bein’ annoying, singin’ in harmony I bet she’s bragging to all her friends, saying you’re so unique, hmm
“Draco’s obsessed with this muggle show called Glee. He makes me sing along with him every time we watch it.” She says with a small laugh and a shy smile.
Why, in God’s name, did you decide to study in the library today? Sitting on the other side of the bookshelf behind you, with Millicent Bulstrode, is H/N.
“That’s horrendous.” Millicent replies with a laugh. Maybe if you’d tried harder to be friends with her then she would’ve told H/N that Draco used to do that with you too, that you’re the one who introduced him to muggle tv shows in the first place.
“It’s cute, he’s so… different.”
You swallow hard and try to pour your focus back into your books. That tone, sweet and infatuated, was the tone you used only months before when you spoke about him too. Once again you’re on the other side of the looking glass, staring back at a distorted reflection of yourself. It had been you bragging, drowning quite innocently in your adoration for him and feeling the need to sing your praises out to the world.
Way back when, you were the one forcing him to learn the lyrics to all of your favourite songs. The two of you would lose track of time singing along with the actors and complaining about the unnecessary drama, it was this little world that the two of you created. But now that world, that you built on love and trust, can no longer afford to accommodate you both. Now it’s his world with her.
Without even realising it you start to wonder how it must be when he’s with her. Does she sing off-key too? Does he pepper her with kisses after and make fun of her singing? Do they binge watch episodes or only do one at a time? Does his laugh still drown out the talking whenever something ridiculous happens? Is his favourite character still Sue?
How many pieces of your time together did he take from the puzzle, to form a new one with her?
So when you gonna tell her that we did that, too? She thinks it's special, but it's all reused That was our place, I found it first I made the jokes you tell to her when she's with you
“This alcove is where I come when I want to be alone, no one really comes here.”
No one but me, you think to yourself as you stop in the hallway and overhear Draco whispering to her. Of course he took her to your alcove, why wouldn’t he?
A part of you wishes that he’d tell her that it was you who found this spot, that it was you who’d trudged along the castle one night in a desperate search for some peace and quiet. You want her to know that this was your safe space, that you were the one who invited him there and allowed him to relish in the safety that it provided. It was you who laced your fingers together with his own and dragged him behind you until you’d landed in the spot, you who had to listen to his complaints about how small and cramped it was until he finally got comfortable and fell in love with it. You were the one he used to wrap his arms around and make promises to in the silence of the night, when nothing beside the two of you existed in that alcove.
It’s all blurring together, then and now are nothing but two sides of the same rusted coin. How can you possibly distinguish between your memories and reality when the boundaries keep crossing?
You almost want to laugh at how identical your relationship was to the one they have now. Jokes that you came up with in the sludge of sleepiness, when the two of you used to hide out here on nights when you both felt sad, are now being repeated into the very same air that you breathed only months ago. Promises that you’d both agreed to back then, are being remade in the safety of the night that now belongs to them.
“I love you.”
And
“Forever.”
Are being whispered between the two of them, assurances and pacts to be together till the end of time.
But now you wonder, how long is forever?
Do you get déjà vu when she’s with you? Do you get déjà  vu? (Ah), hmm Do you get déjà vu, huh?
The smell of toast and freshly scrambled eggs wafts through the Great Hall and you struggle to resist the urge to moan out in excitement. Breakfast is your favourite meal and, really, the only meal that’s worth anything. As you plop down in your seat and start to pack your plate in your food you fail to notice, in your sheer joy, that Draco’s sitting across from you with H/N by his side.
It’s not until you’re done piling up your favourites, like an Olympic gold medalist in training, that you notice the couple sat across from you. You observe discreetly as Draco outstretches his hand all over the table to get whatever she wants to eat, and you have to struggle to focus as a wave of déjà vu washes over you.
When had you stopped being the one he arranged plates for? When had he started saving a spot beside him for her, and not you? Literally you know that the answer is roughly around 3 or 4 months ago when the two of you had broken up, but he’d stopped being yours a long time before then and you’d both known it. Little moments of love, that had been the basis of your relationship, had fizzled out into distant memories way before you’d both decided to call it quits.
“Butter or jam, Y/N?”
You’re about to answer, on instinct really, when you realise that he’s not even speaking to you.
But he said your name. Didn’t he?
Do you call her, almost say my name? ‘Cause let’s be honest, we kinda do sound the same Another actress I hate to think that I was just your type
“It was mortifying!” You exclaim as you recount the events of earlier to your best friend.
“How bad could it have possibly been?” She asks with a laugh as she settles into your bed comfortably.
“He looked her dead in the eyes, and called her ‘Y/N’, and to make it one hundred times worse, I was sitting across from them when he did it so they both immediately turned to look at me!” You cry out in embarrassment as you drop your face in a pillow. “I’ve never prayed so hard for the ground to open up and swallow me whole.” You mumble against the fabric and you hear her laugh again.
“Why are you so embarrassed? It wasn’t your mistake.”
“It’s not about that, it’s about how easy it would’ve been for us to return to our roles as boyfriend and girlfriend. I almost answered him!” You sigh. “It’s been what? 3? 4 months? And my mouth still acts on muscle memory. We’re so familiar to each other that we still act on instinct.”
“Are you sure it’s not just because your names sound so similar?” She raises her eyebrows at you and you scoff. “Really? Y/N and H/N sound nothing alike?”
“Nope, not at all.”
“Okay, if you say so.” She shrugs, “But deep down I think all three of you know that there’s more similarities present than you’d like to account for.”
You huff in response and cross your arms. Is she right? Does Draco have a type?
Even worse, are you just Draco’s type? Nothing more and nothing less than just another girl who ticks all of his favourite boxes?
I know you get déjà  vu I know you get déjà  vu I know you get déjà vu
It’s on one morning, on one of your good mornings, that it happens.
Months of watching the two of them recreate the love that you’d had with him, suffering in silence and scolding yourself for thinking such awful things about them, finally come to a halt when you receive the acknowledgment that you’ve been so desperately craving.
She walks onto platform 9 and 3/4 in a dress, a purple dress that looks eerily similar to the one you’d worn two years before on this exact platform. She’s smiling brightly, excited for the new school year, and Draco’s waiting for her by the door with a smile that’s just as bright. When his eyes catch her own and she slips her hand into his, he stumbles backward in shock slightly. He immediately looks away from her and searches the crowd, scanning over people climbing into the train and saying goodbye to their families, in a desperate attempt to find you.
It’s too much for him, to see her standing before him and looking like a replica of you, and he needs some sort confirmation to know that he’s not imagining this similarity. The dress wraps around her waist the same way that yours had wrapped around your own waist, and it compliments her skin in a way that’s hauntingly memorable. He knows that he’s seen all of this before, and he knows that it wasn’t with her.
You’re standing a few paces away from the door, watching the scene unfold, and when his ocean blues finally meet yours, you know.
He smiles at you, the first time he’s done so since you broke up, and mouthes exactly what the two of you need to hear.
“Déjà vu.”
And then it’s over- the moment, the agony, the months of confusion- it’s all packed up into a neat box and stored away. He turns with her and they walk into the train together, happily.
You remember this, being the one in her position and walking by his side. You remember the feeling of utter joy that had consumed you, it’s all the same really.
But maybe this time when he promises forever, he’ll mean it.
~~~
This was meant to be way angstier but I got lazy and ended up just wanting to write it out before I ran out of love for the idea.
Anyway, I kind of like it...
love you all,
jean <3

Just a little list of my soft Draco obsession
For  @vemodalensx
Theres a few here but I’ve left some out since the list was getting a bit long. I might make another list with more.
The list separated between cute Draco and vulnerable Draco just so you can choose whether or not you want a bit of sadness with your softness ^3^
Oh and ofc it goes without saying that the whole list is Bottom Draco hehe
Cute Soft Draco
Flower Crowns (2.4k words)
It started with a single flower 🥀 Draco makes flower crowns for Harry and that is how the whole school finds out about them. A happy dose of Harry with flowers in his hair, and a smitten Draco.
Dreaming of you (21k words)
Harry has nightmares, he wishes for a night when he can sleep without nightmares. What happens when he starts dreaming of Draco Malfoy? Draco left the wizarding world after the war, he's a librarian and lives peacefully in muggle London, what happens when Harry fucking Potter shows up at his work place?
Honey (
Harry is sick of Draco's oh-so-adorable endearments.
The Care and Management of Volatile Veelas 
Harry adopts a Veela. He really didn’t mean to.
Quidditch Wife (Part 2)
Theres no real summary for this except for  It's got all my favourite guilty pleasures, like protective!Harry and vulnerable!Draco, with a side of jealous!Harry and SportyQuidditch!Harry (and I think the top!Harry rather goes without saying).
All our pieces....fall right into places series
The first story:  Draco had had a crush for a while and now that he had Harry in his bed...He was everything that Draco needed.
Trick or Treat
Harry had no idea that he was such a fetishist - a fact which he discovers on Halloween.
Pretty
Harry finds a pair of stockings in the back of their dresser.
The Sweater
After being forced to room together in 8th year, Draco and Harry become friends and decide to continue their living arrangements post Hogwarts. The only problem is, Draco can't seem to stop stealing Harry's clothes.
1095 Roses for a life time
Being woken up by the lips of your boyfriend is always a nice surprise, especially on the morning of yours third anniversary of dating, which leads to hot and passionate morning activity. But all this is just to indulge in themselves, Harry's surprise includes roses and a promise for a lifetime. Will they be the right choice?
Get your kinks out
Harry plays seeker for the Magpies, and he discovers that one of his teammates secretly wears lace panties. What begins as a sexual relationship becomes increasingly complicated by Harry’s fame, Draco’s family, and Harry’s ambivalent feelings about dominating Draco.
Can’t say no
Draco really has the worst friends. When they put a spell on him that he has to say no to everything Harry says.....things don't turn out well.
OR
That time when Harry proposes and gets turned down because of his horrible friends.
What Draco wants
Out of anything a petty fight with Harry Potter could have led to, Draco Malfoy least expected it to end with him bent over a table, questioning his relationship and feelings for Potter, and having the best sex of his life.
Criminal
Things were going just fine for Draco Malfoy. He successfully conned and counted cards across Europe and America, amassing a small fortune, along with a lengthy rap sheet. That was until he made the grave mistake of returning to England for a high stakes card game and got himself caught – by Harry Potter no less. Now, Draco is stuck in England under Auror Potter’s guard with no friends, no distractions, and no escape. How the hell will he pass the time? And since when did Potter get so bloody fit? 
Things Change
Harry and Draco's friends notice something different about them when they fight. See what they find out when they walk down an empty hallway. 
Whats a little veritasium between two sworn enemies?
Draco Malfoy has a nasty habit of always coming across such bad luck no matter where circumstance presents itself and unfortunately that doesn't seem to change when his bloody nemesis Harry Potter over hears him talking about Veritaserum potions in the hallways past curfew. ( It was Pansy fault really)
Harry wants to know what the Slytherin boy is up to, especially with how nervous Malfoy is, but is that ALL Harry wants to know?
Mr Right Now - side note: Cedric/Draco
What do you do when you're feeling down about your ex? Make him jealous! Story features Cedric Diggory and Draco Malfoy trying to win back their loves, but somehow end up falling into each other's arms
For the love a kitten 
With Voldemort Dead, life is not easy for Harry as Old friends become enemies and old enemies become friend. With the return of three Slytherins, Harry life is turned upside down.
How to prepare for a wedding night
I have a neighbour. He is stuck in a loveless relationship and an arranged marriage. He has zero experience in bed. He needs my help so that his love life won't suck for the next few decades. He needs a sex teacher. Oh... and the neighbour happens to be Draco freaking Malfoy. And I might be a little tiny bit in love with the git...
Draco's Scent
In which Harry can't be around Draco for long without the boy's stupid smell messing with his mind, and he really, really hates that.
Turn The Heat Up
Wonky Cooling Charms result in interesting revelations
Flirt
Draco and Hermione make a devastating duo at the Ministry as the respective Department Heads of Wizarding Culture Preservation and Muggle Relations. When Harry Potter gets involved in their latest joint project, Draco can’t seem to stop himself from constantly flirting with him even when it doesn’t seem to affect the golden boy at all. He’s wrong. Harry is most definitely affected. Includes Slytherin shenanigans, Draco sucking at quidditch, and Harry trying not to be charmed. Draco POV.
Angsty/Vulnerable Soft Draco
The Draco Malfoy incident - side note: I cried big time
Draco Malfoy is best friends with a Hufflepuff. A HUFFLEPUFF! He's also partnered with a redhead git, trying to hide from an obsessive green-eyed saviour and has become overly fond with sunrises. It's exhausting. Can't a man plan an assassination in peace around here?
I’m not in your dreams
Draco has dreamt with Harry's voice since he was fourteen, so there's no doubt for him about who his soulmate is. Now, in their Eighth Year, Harry has finally dreamt with his soulmate's voice too. The problem is that Draco was born mute.
Yours for the taking
Draco was raised to be the perfect Omega, but there are things even he cannot endure. When he discovers just what Tom Riddle's plans for him are once he's claimed him he is confronted with an impossible decision. Only one thing remains clear: he will never be able to go back home.
Luckily, Harry Potter is there to save the day
Rough on you - side note: Dark Harry. This is more vulnerable Draco than soft Draco so please read the tags before you start the story :) I was unsure whether I wanted to add this here but hey-ho
"I'm the only one that can give you want you really want." Harry spun Draco around and held his arms at his side and he pressed against his back, whispering against his throat. "That can force you, that can humiliate you… that can hurt you, and you want it. You want me."
Harry is having a bad day. Draco just cannot learn to keep his mouth shut. Neither of them would have predicted it would lead to this.
But who guards the dragon?
This is an expansion of my one-shot, It'll be Okay. You don't have to read it first, it will be in the story. Requested. DMHP Sub/Dom relationship. Slash. Don't like, don't read. Harry thinks a few thinks through, then comes into his creature inheritance. He finds out that he is the dominant mate to one Draco Malfoy. But things are never easy for the boy who lived
Taken For Granted
Having pined for Harry for long enough, Draco decided that it was time to give up and move on. What happens when Harry realizes too late what he's lost?
Mourning
Harry returns to school to complete his NEWTs. There he finds a much changed Draco Malfoy and surprisingly subdued Professor Snape.
In your arms, rests my world
Harry presses his mouth to Malfoy's forehead; he wants to tell him that he’ll never leave, that he wouldn’t dream of it.
“You make me feel safe, Potter” Malfoy whispers. “You keep me safe.”
Inside your mind
Goyle's taken it upon himself to act as Malfoy's personal, one-man guard and Harry can't help but feel like it's only making the bullying worse.
"I'll Protect You," and you can seal that with an Unbreakable Vow
His friends may tease but Harry doesn't feel bad for keeping a close eye on the Slytherin boy of one Draco Malfoy, after all someone has to do it. So when Harry secretly follows the pure-blood boy out past the courtyard, there's nothing strange or unusual about it; nor is it wrong.
Unfortunately the same can not be said for the scenario Harry accidentally stumbles upon as he can't help but stare in horror. It's not just wrong. It's absolutely despicable and Harry, well, Harry just has to do something about it.
A Big Black Sky
Draco shifts his head as he turns to look at Scorpius, his cheek touching the pillow. "Did you know that…" He pauses, his throat convulsing, and it sounds audible in the silence, besides Michael's steady, even breathing from the other bedroom.
Scorpius is staring back at him, in wait of something new to learn, a beautiful and intelligent child. He has Draco's mind. He has Draco's eyes and nose and mouth and hair. He is his. All his. All he has of Michael are his wild curls and the green of his eyes, and sometimes he looks into them and imagines that they aren't Michael's, but someone else's.
Draco leans his head closer, biting the quiver out of his lips before he breathes a laden and shuddering exhale, and he whispers, "You are my star in a big black sky."
Song To Say Goodbye
Draco should have remembered that life doesn’t always turn out the way you want it to. Somewhere along the way he forgot to always be careful and was left with nothing. It was hard enough getting himself together the first time, can he do it again?
Small spoiler for Song to Say Goodbye below
Its not Drarry Endgame: he ends up with a OMC cuz Harrys a big dickhead

Here is a second prompt!
Epileptic Suga having a seizure for the first time in front of the first years, maybe in a tougher situation to handle like a bus ride 👀
:)
-Lu
This one took me a little while, but it's done now, so enjoy! As mentioned in a prior post, this fic is part of the Setter Health Conditions (SHC) universe, so it might be referenced in other fics taking place in the universe. (Fun fact, this fic was originally titled "Into the Sugaverse" before I edited the title to be less cryptic.)
That One Bus Trip
Epileptic Suga with caretaker Daichi
Word count: 3447 words
Daichi was stressed. That wasn’t a new thing, though. With three siblings and two very busy parents, Daichi’s life was near-constant chaos. Though right now, the current cause of Daichi’s stress was sitting right next to him. Suga was curled up against Daichi on the bus seat. They were driving home from a weekend training camp in Tokyo. It was only early evening, but Suga looked quite sleepy leaning against Daichi’s arm.
“Are you okay, Suga?” Daichi asked quietly. They were seated near the back of the bus to keep an eye on everyone. The first years sat in the row in front of Daichi and Suga, and Daichi didn’t want to broadcast Suga’s private business to them (or anyone else on the bus, for that matter).
“Yeah,” Suga groaned as he shifted against Daichi’s arm. “Just feeling kind of off, ya know?”
Daichi’s eyes widened in alarm. “What kind of “off,” Suga? Like off off?”
“Off off,” Suga agreed, pressing the side of his face into Daichi’s club jacket.
“Do you want me to get someone?” Daichi muttered urgently.
This wasn’t good. Feeling off off was how Suga liked to refer to having an aura, and an aura meant a seizure was coming soon. And to make matters worse, they were on a bus, hours away from home. If Suga had a seizure now, it would be chaos. Everyone would panic because only Daich, Asahi, and Mr. Takeda knew about Suga’s epilepsy (Daichi wasn’t sure if Coach Ukai knew, but he wouldn’t be surprised if Suga never mentioned his condition. Suga was very shy about sharing his epilepsy with others. It had taken Daichi and Asahi cornering a first year Suga in the locker room after a particularly long practice to get Suga to tell them anything, and they were some of Suga’s closest friends.)
“No,” Suga murmured. “I have my medication. I’ll take it, so hopefully, things won’t get too bad.”
Suga leaned forward and rummaged through the bag at his feet, producing a medicine bottle seconds later. Daichi grabbed a water bottle from his own bag and presented it to Suga, who took it gratefully. Suga shook out one pill from the bottle and swallowed it down with a gulp of water. He handed the bottle back to Daichi and bent down to his bag again.
Daichi turned to his bag to distract himself from all the possible futures flashing through his mind. Even though Suga had taken his medication, that didn’t guarantee nothing would happen. Similar to migraine prevention medication, Suga’s medicine only worked some of the time. Daichi was praying to every deity in existence that it would work this time because he hated Suga seizing in any circumstance, but especially on a bus with their loud, emotional teammates. Suga didn’t seem too panicked on the surface, but Daichi was keenly aware of the setter’s clenched hands and furrowed brow. Suga was worried too, but he was far too prideful to ever tell anyone directly.
“Let me know if you need anything,” Daichi ordered, voice low to keep their conversation discreet.
“Okay,” Suga yawned, “I think I’m gonna take a nap. This medicine always makes me drowsy.”
“Alright,” Daichi nodded slightly. “Just try to stay calm. Getting worked up will only make everything worse.”
“I know, Daichi,” Suga huffed good-naturedly. “I’ve been dealing with this for years. I think I know how to take care of myself.”
Daich chuckled and patted Suga’s head with his free hand. “I know, I know. But I’m still worried, you know. I’m your best friend and your captain. I think I have the right to worry about you sometimes.”
“You’re such a dad, Daichi,” Suga snickered mischievously. “Dad... Daichi… Oh! Dadchi! From now on, I’m gonna call you Dadchi.”
Daichi sighed wearily. “How can you be so responsible one minute and then so childish the next?”
“It’s a gift,” Suga smiled goofily. Then a yawn escaped his mouth, and he blinked slowly.
“Take a nap, Suga,” Daichi said, slipping off his jacket to drape over the setter. “You’re tired, and it’ll make you feel better.”
Suga hummed in agreement, leaning against Daichi’s side and snuggling under the jacket. He sighed contently and closed his eyes. Within minutes, Suga was sleeping comfortably against Daichi’s shoulder. Daichi smiled at the sight, silently resigning himself to being Suga’s pillow for the rest of the bus ride. They still had over three hours left until they reached Karasuno High School, so Daichi was hoping Suga would be able to take a good, long nap until they arrived.
With Suga sleeping soundly, Daichi could finally relax. He gazed out the window at the setting sun, admiring the beautiful colors as the sun disappeared from the sky. Suga’s body was warm, Daichi noticed. Not feverish, but warm enough to keep Daichi’s body pleasantly warm as well. The bus was also fairly quiet. Most of their teammates were either reading or playing video games (even Kageyama was attempting to work a DS after Hinata’s incessant nagging). After two days of grueling training, Daichi’s body was begging for a break, and between the warmth and quiet murmurings of his teammates, Daichi felt himself nodding off too. His head drooped against Suga’s, and Daichi was asleep almost instantly.
X
When Daichi awoke, he noticed light flashing through the very dark bus. Lifting his head drowsily, Daichi quickly found the light source. Someone (probably Tanaka or Noya) had brought a portable DVD player onto the bus, and everyone (minus Suga, Daichi, and Asahi, who had donned an eyemask and fell asleep sometime after Daichi had) was gathered around it watching a movie of some sort.
Daichi yawned and pulled out his phone. He sent a quick text to Ennoshita asking about what movie they were watching. Ennoshita replied with the title (“Into the Spider-Verse,” apparently) along with what he’d missed so far. The movie was only a third of the way done, so Daichi hadn’t missed too much. Suga was still sleeping soundly, so Daichi didn’t dare move. He couldn’t see the movie, but that was fine so long as Suga was asleep and calm.
Suga continued to sleep for another half hour at least while Daichi ignored the DVD player in favor of looking at his phone. During that time, Ennoshita texted frequent updates on the movie, summarizing the plot, characters, and visuals with stunning clarity. Daichi would occasionally see some bright flashes of light, but he was too focused on his phone to register the problem the lights might pose. Daichi was snickering at the reveal of Doctor Octavius when Suga stirred next to him.
“You’re up, huh?” Daichi murmured to a drowsy Suga.
“Yeah…” Suga yawned, eyes still shut.
“Are you feeling better?” Daichi asked gently.
“A little, yeah,” Suga hummed, shifting to a sitting position and cracking open his eyes.
“That’s good, at least,” Daichi smiled, reaching over to grab his jacket from Suga’s lap.
“I guess,” Suga sighed, his brown eyes still half-lidded with exhaustion. “What’s going on?”
“We’re watching a movie. Into the Spider-Verse, apparently.” Daichi lifted his phone to show Suga the screen. “Ennoshita’s been keeping me updated. He’s actually pretty good at it too.”
Suga grabbed the phone and scrolled to the beginning of Ennoshita’s recent texts. He took a moment to read before handing the phone back to Daichi. “You’re right. He is pretty good. Is the movie still on?”
“Yes,” Daichi nodded, “The DVD player’s in the aisle. We can watch it if we move over a little.”
“Let’s watch it,” Suga replied. “It’s not like we have anything better to do right now.”
“Okay,” Daichi agreed easily, sliding over into the aisle to watch the movie. Suga moved too, taking Daichi’s now-vacant seat.
They settled down to watch the movie without much trouble. The occasional bright flash made Suga wince and turn away for a moment, but the instances were infrequent, so Daichi didn’t think much of them. Suga seemed to be enjoying the movie too. He laughed at the jokes and fawned over the action sequences. Daichi wasn’t surprised. He’d known about Suga’s nerdy side for a while now.
To be fair, Daichi was also enjoying the movie. The soundtrack and animation were very well done, and Daichi was always a sucker for action movies. Perhaps that was why Daichi forgot about the danger the movie could pose to Suga. Daichi was so absorbed in the movie that he failed to notice Suga’s furrowed brows and rapidly paling face. The final straw for Suga’s fragile health was the collider scene. The frantic, aggressive flashes of light sent Suga’s body headfirst into an epileptic episode.
At first, Daichi thought Suga was just shivering. Small trembles wracked Suga’s frame, but when the trembles grew stronger and more sporadic, Daichi became concerned. Turning away from the DVD player, he squinted through the dark at his best friend, and what Daichi saw was horrible. Suga’s body spasmed erratically while Suga’s eyes were blown wide with panic and distress. Tears slipped down Suga’s cheeks as a soft whine escaped his mouth. Suga’s eyes settled on Daichi, silently begging for help.
Daichi was panicking, but Suga needed him, so he had to focus. Daichi quickly wrapped his jacket around Suga’s head and neck, creating a cushion to protect the vulnerable areas during Suga’s thrashing. Then he carefully scooted Suga’s body farther into the seat, so he wouldn’t fall off and hit something against the bus floor. With Suga in a secure position, there was nothing left to do now but time the seizure and wait for it to end. Daichi hated this part the most because he was powerless to help his best friend.
Their teammates slowly started to notice that something was wrong. Suga’s breathing was irregular and audible over the movie to the people sitting near Daichi and Suga. Ennoshita sent him a text a minute later to make sure everything was okay. Daich responded with a cryptic text that told Ennoshita something was wrong but didn’t specify what. Naturally, Ennoshita sent more texts, each becoming more and more worried, though he thankfully had the sense to keep his inquiries in texts instead of voicing them aloud.
Suga’s trembles finally slowed, and Daichi checked the clock on his phone. The seizure had lasted for just over two minutes. While not ideal, the seizure was still under five minutes. Seizures lasting longer than five minutes tended to be the most dangerous ones, so at least Suga avoided that.
Now that the seizure was over, Daichi needed to get Suga help. So Daichi got to his feet and walked down the bus aisle. Most of his teammates grumbled in annoyance, but Daichi caught the worried gazes of Ennoshita and his seatmate Kinoshita. He gave them a small smile, hoping to convey that things were getting better, but the duo still looked worried. Daichi continued on his trek and finally reached the front of the bus. Thankfully, Coach Ukai was driving while Mr. Takeda was helping Coach Ukai navigate from the front bus seat.
“Mr. Takeda?” Daichi leaned towards the club advisor, keeping his voice low.
“Daichi?!” Mr. Takeda yelped in surprise, but he quickly fell silent once he saw Daichi’s face. “What’s wrong?”
“Suga had an… episode,” Daichi whispered to the club advisor.
“An episode?” Mr. Takeda blinked in confusion. “What kind of episo- Oh!” Mr. Takeda lowered his voice out of courtesy to Suga and his privacy. “Suga had an epileptic episode?”
“Yeah,” Daichi sighed tiredly. “His seizure lasted for a little more than two minutes. He’s resting now, but we should take him to a hospital to get checked out.”
“Of course!” Mr. Takeda nearly shouted again. “I’ll let Coach know right away! Do you need any help with Suga?”
“I don’t think so,” Daichi shook his head. “I just might need help getting him off the bus when we get to the hospital.”
“Alright. I’ll find the nearest hospital and tell Coach to get us there as soon as possible. Can you keep Suga comfortable until we arrive?” Mr. Takeda asked.
“I’ll take good care of him,” Daichi replied firmly.
“I’m sure you will,” Mr. Takeda agreed before he moved to the driver’s seat to let Coach Ukai know about the change of plans.
Daichi returned to his seat swiftly, anxious from leaving Suga alone for so long. Suga was still lying across their seats, but he was conscious and relatively alert because he turned his head when Daichi got back to their seats. Daichi sat in the aisle to keep an eye on Suga, rubbing the setter’s ankle soothingly. Daichi and Suga stayed like that until the bus pulled into a hospital parking lot.
Cries of confusion and irritation broke out until Mr. Takeda silenced them with an uncharacteristically stern stare. “Move out of the aisles, everyone. The paramedics need to use them.”
Everyone obeyed immediately, but looks of confusion were etched on most of their teammates’ faces. Two paramedics boarded their bus, with Mr. Takeda directing them back to Suga and Daichi’s seats. Daichi moved out of their way, helping them pull Suga into the larger paramedic’s arms. Suga remained limp in the paramedic’s hold, though his eyes darted over to Daichi as the paramedics carried him away. Daichi waved reassuringly, and Suga flashed him a brief smile before his eyes fell shut. That caused the paramedics to panic and rush off the bus. Daichi watched them place Suga on a waiting stretcher from the bus window, and then his best friend disappears into the large white building with the paramedics.

They weren’t allowed to see Suga for the next few hours. Their teammates’ confusion had morphed into shock and despair once they realized that something was wrong with Suga. The first and second years badgered Daichi and Asahi relentlessly until they finally caved, informing the team of Suga’s epilepsy. Daichi also explained why Suga was currently in the hospital, and Tanaka looked guiltier by the second. Daichi reached out a hand and rubbed the spiker’s shoulder, explaining that it wasn’t Tanaka’s fault. He didn’t know about Suga’s epilepsy until a few minutes ago, so there was no way for him to know how dangerous the movie would be for his vice-captain to watch. Tanaka still moped in his hospital chair until they were finally allowed to see Suga.
It was very early morning when a nurse approached their group with information about Suga. She pulled Mr. Takeda and Coach Ukai away for a few minutes to inform them of Suga’s condition. With Suga’s parents out of the country for work, they were acting as Suga’s legal guardians while he was in the hospital. Daichi waited with the team until the two adults returned to their group.
“Suga will be fine, everyone,” Mr. Takeda smiled exhaustedly. The events of the night had taken a visible toll on him. “He was just dehydrated and exhausted. He’s on an IV right now to get some fluids and nutrients into his system, but he’ll be okay after getting some rest.”
“He’ll be released soon,” Coach Ukai continued gruffly. “They’re just waiting until his IV is done. We should be out of here in an hour or so.”
“Can we see him?!” Nishinoya and Hinata asked eagerly.
“Yes,” Mr. Takeda laughed at their antics, “but you have to be quiet, ok? Suga might be asleep, and we shouldn’t wake him if he is.”
“Yes sir!” The duo nodded before dashing down the hallway.
“Wait!” Mr. Takeda let out a panicked cry. “You don’t even know Suga’s room number!”
Mr. Takeda chased after the two, and soon the entire team was running down the hospital hallway to Suga’s room. Mr. Takeda directed them to take two flights of stairs and a long corridor to reach Suga’s room. Unsurprisingly, Hinata and Nishinoya were the first to the door, with Kageyama and Tanaka not far behind. Mr. Takeda caught up with them, forcing them to wait until everyone had gathered to open the door. Daichi pushed his way to the front of the group, citing his captain status. Suga was his best friend, and he was going invoke his captain rights if it let him see Suga faster.
Mr. Takeda opened the door, and the Karasuno VBC filed into the room silently. Daichi stared at Suga as he entered. Suga was awake and sitting up in his bed. He looked exhausted, but his face had color, and he looked much better than he had hours ago. Suga watched them all carefully, offering them a wave. The IV in his elbow bounced in time with Suga’s wave. Once everyone was settled into the room, Suga gave them a warm Suga-Smile™.
“Hey, guys,” Suga said with exhausted but genuine enthusiasm. “What’s up?”
“SUGA!!!!” Hinata, Nishinoya, and Tanaka yelled, launching themselves at Suga.
They piled themselves on top of a shocked Suga, but he was quick to pull the trio into a warm hug.
“You scared us, Suga,” Daichi said quietly as he sat on the side of Suga’s bed.
“Sorry. I should have told someone earlier,” Suga sighed, snuggling into the cuddlepile on his lap.
“It’s not your fault, Suga,” Asahi hummed from the other side of Suga’s bed. “You can’t control your epilepsy.”
“I guess so… But I still feel bad for scaring you guys like that,” Suga confessed, eyes full of guilt.
“It’s okay, Suga,” Hinata chirped from the cuddle pile. “We’re just glad that you’re okay!”
“Thanks, Hinata,” Suga laughed into the blocker’s red hair.
“Hinata’s right,” Ennoshita chimed in. “I just wished you’d told us about your epilepsy earlier.”
“I know I should have, and I’m really sorry.” Suga bowed his head in apology. “I just hate talking about it. Daichi and Asahi basically had to kidnap me to get me to tell them about it.”
“Is that true, Daichi?” Nishinoya asked excitedly.
“I guess so…” Daichi laughed awkwardly. “In our defense, Suga was very stubborn. That was the only way we got Suga to talk to us instead of changing the topic.”
“Was I really that bad?” Suga cocked his head to the side.
“You were,” Asahi nodded solemnly. “I didn’t think we’d ever get you to tell us anything.”
“You’re always so negative, Asahi.” Suga poked the ace’s arm lightly. “It’s that negativity goatee, I swear.”
“My goatee has nothing to do with it!” Asahi whined sadly.
Suga giggled lightly at his friends, and Suga’s laugh was always infectious. The cuddle pile trio was giggling too, and then Daichi and Asahi joined in as well. Soon, the entire team was laughing, even Mr. Takeda and Coach Ukai. The previous events were long and stressful, so now everyone was finally relaxing a little.
The team chatted amongst themselves quietly until a nurse entered the room to check Suga’s IV. She declared that it was done and swiftly removed the needle from Suga’s elbow before the setter could even process what was happening. The nurse left the room for a moment and returned with a wheelchair for Suga to sit in. Hinata, Nishinoya, and Tanaka clambered off Suga’s lap, so Daichi and Asahi could help Suga into the wheelchair. They wheeled Suga out to the bus and got him situated on a bus seat near the front, so the adults could keep an eye on him. Daichi also sat beside Suga to help him if need be.
Everyone boarded the bus, and they were on their way back to Miyagi. Suga leaned his head on Daichi’s shoulder, eyes heavy with sleep.
“Daichi,” he yawned heavily. “Thanks for everything today.”
Daichi smiled tiredly at his best friend. “Sure. I’m always here for you. You know that, right?”
“Yeah, I do,” Suga hummed happily. “I’m glad you’re such a good friend.”
“Thanks, Suga.” Daichi yawned as well. “You’re a pretty good friend too.”
“You’re still better,” Suga teased lightly before a big yawn escaped his mouth.
“And you’re still exhausted. Get some rest. I’ll wake you up when we get back,” Daichi said softly.
“Thanks, Daichi,” Suga murmured as his eyes slipped shut.
“Any time, Suga,” Daichi whispered as he felt his eyes grow heavier by the second. He leaned his head on top of Suga’s. The adults would wake them when they got to the school, Daichi reasoned before his eyes shut completely. Karasuno’s captain was asleep in a matter of seconds, taking a well-deserved nap after the chaos of the past few hours. The bus wouldn’t arrive for a few hours, and Daichi was content to nap with his best friend as the bus rolled on through the night.

GOSSIP GIRL, EP. 5 REACTION & REVIEW
alright
this episode was pretty good, i'm here for this vibe if they continue with it. lots of shit happened, i have feelings about it so lets go!
(this episode also helped me discover i really am a horrible person lol)
ADULTS:
NICK X KATE: Nope! Full stop, don't want it. Bitch you nasty for being friendly with him while posting about his daughter. Nick x Davis is the true otp.
JORDAN & CO: JAIL. Plain and simple, ya'll enjoying this too much. Jail. Please. I beg. Ya'll are sick. A gun in a school and you're Bruce Wayne? Bitch.
KATE: As stated above and addition, I started to be cool with you. You still have to go jail but after serving time, I might be cool with you afterwards. Then you flip flop again went back to doing the worst. Limiting the comments doesn't help. Raggedy.
RAFA: PRISON. And let me tell you, my boy, Aki, he got Fox News in the back of his pocket so, step the fuck back. That's why Max figured yo ass out. GO TO PRISON. PRISON. And he tried to play him for a fool at the end. Prison isn't enough, vanish.
KIKI: SIS! You gotta get it together for your daughter. She can't be the more but, I feel you. Do better, be better. It's not as easy as just saying it but if you have family you can rely on, start to rely. You're daughter her habits from you.
OUR KIDS:
JULIEN: BIG SISTER ENGERY THIS EPISODE. I'M LOVING IT AND LOVING IT. I think she can stop trying a bit now and but I'm here for the connection, I'm here for it all. Quick thinker, knew the circle wasn't tight. She wasn't really there for Audrey but she has been, I think she just got caught up. Since Zoya moved there, they haven't had the chance to just be sisters, to just love each other without any drama. They have not only the past month to make up for but years and she wants to do right by Zoya. I'm glad she realized at the end that, she needed to be there for Audrey but I'm not upset because I get it. I also LOVE that she finally, stood up to Monet and say and get wit it or get it out. Boom. I've been waiting.
OBIE: I wanna ride hard for you because people keep talking about your hair line. I think you need to learn that relationships will have ups and downs and it won't be perfect all of the time. I feel like Obie is chasing perfection, no fights, no problems, just coasting and it won't happen, it'll never happen. Do better. That being said, I'm glad we got something from Obie. I'm glad we got to see him being the Prince of New York. It's hella shady that you didn't just come out with the truth and you wanted to do a song and dance but Obie is doing more and using that name so yes, give me character stuff.
MONET: BYE. No, but really. Amazing one liners as always. I liked the little fight with Julien, I felt a bit of distress, I'm into it. While I did expect her to cross Julien, I didn't expect her to cross Luna and all her hard work, that was dirty but you moving the story and shit so what can I say? I don't think Monet will go for the crown but I could see her finding someone to prop up. I want more of her parents, maybe she has a very bad relationship with her mom? Also, sis, Julien is right, you can't keep jumping clients when they want to change and do up their image. No sis, no. (And you almost tanked Julien's career soooooooooooo)
AUDREY: SIS U WERE SINKING. Okay, so Audrey isn't a character I feel that connected too. She's bitchy, a little less than Lunet but still. So, I have a hard time caring but objectively, you should break up with Aki. You know him by now and maybe it's comfort or you really want to have something. It's okay, break up with him because he's a friend and not the boyfriend you need. You want someone who will let you vent, not solve. Not see. Go live with Julien. The fight with your mom is understandable (And realize that forcing people on her won't work.) because you shouldn't have to be the back bone of the family. The dad line was a low blow, the airport thing was a low blow but you're a teenage girl and what can I say? Nothing, just don't become the woman you hate even though parents are the models. That being said, if I had seen her interacting with her dad more, the line wouldn't have been as low. But I can't tell that he loves her, we don't even get a phone conversation. Do better writers. And I think at the party, she got a chance to see how her mom felt. I don't know what happened to move but I think it has something to do with her meds. Audrey, be a boss. Break up, tell him that ya'll are better as friends because it won't go has bad as you think it will. Move in with Julien (I just want to see it happen.)
ZOYA: I don't even have much to say. My sis was popping off this episode. I got sass, I got questioning her relationship with Obie. Yes, talk about how you feel about him with the girls and go girl stuff. I really felt her when she said she wanted her own friend, writers please give her, her own friends. PLEASE. I'M BEGGING. Simon, you dirty dog. I'm glad Obie got it out but he could've said something to her. I'm sick. I'm more upset that he wasn't a new friend or a love interest. Just ugh. But I liked Zoya this episode, she could worry about normal teenage stuff for the most part without having to worry about being attacked by Monet and Luna.
LUNA: MY GOOD SIS. Just like I didn't expect Monet to turn on her, I didn't expect her to not stand by Monet. I know she was enjoying the Zoya vibe and thought it was cute, she was becoming a bit more friendly sure but I wow, yas. Go off girl. I want to see more of fashion stylist Luna, a Luna sponsored fashion show where Aki models and drama happens? I'd be here for it, I am here for it.
MAX: I was ready to box. Listen. I was ready to fight this point as much as I felt for him. So, the feeling for him. He honestly, believes that Rafa is good for him. And he was catching feelings? He thought Rafa needed him in his life because he had no family, he also has no family in a sense to him at least. So, he's really caught up in this man. And I feel so bad that he said he's sober when he's with him or something along those lines. That's heartbreaking. I'm glad that talk in the end pulled him out of it, I'm glad he realized that he had a hand to play in his friends not wanting to be around him or deal with him. I'm glad he followed them and was in on the hug. Wonderful. Now my dude, you do not deserve Aki, not as a romantic partner or a friend. My boy was seriously worried, and you blew down on him WHILE using a nickname for his nickname....sick. I was ready to throw hands, like. My spirit was not right. That was so low. I keep seeing people say that because Max wasn't in a relationship, Audrey shouldn't feel some type of way and Aki is just letting his hurt roll off because he's worried but while you didn't have a duty in the relationship, you had a duty as a friend, to both of them. You ghost for a week and say nothing, no talking about the blow up or the outing and you running with this little stanky thing, you try to ease back into the group, no. And you still don't deserve Aki's time. Like. My dude did not hit you up after the kiss, he was not checking for you on that dating app, he was interested in other mens, you sat between the couple. Okay. He had been checking on you from jump. Just no. I'm sick of the shit. Never step to my boy like that again.
AKI: MY boy. Lemme get this out the way. You need to listen, not solve or give perspective. Like, she doesn't need it. I get your friends in danger but express how serious you think this is to her. I get that a long-distance relationship might not bother you and you think things will work out because there are bigger problems but talk to her. Re-assure her. Or break up with her her. As I said before, ya'll will not hate each other if you break up. And learn to just, even, pretend or something but you struggle in this aspect. Do better. That being said, Aki, episode MVP. He said, something is off, take him down. My perfect himbo man, said not my watch. And listen, you can't be as pushy because people don't respond but I'm glad you were on it. You knew. You said, I'mma run up on this man and you did. Yes. That being said, stand up for yourself, this boy does not deserve your energy. I get it. You might have a crush, this is bestie but bestie has not been treating you right for a while. And this was a new love. You're too loving, let some of that going at Rafa energy pop out around the friend group. But you a king and you care so much, just re-focus for now. Find you a cute lil thang and make the boy jelly. I need this resolved before I can accept anything canon, fanfics is where I'll be. But overall, Aki was making moves, you gotta learn something from the right wing media mogul.
GROUP: I finally feel like I talk about them as a whole. I wish they would've shown the others being upset by Max's ghosting because ya'll acting lowkey outta pocket and I didn't see anyone but Audrey and Aki check for this boy. Like, do you really care? But he fit into the group hug at the end. I know Monet saw a rising star in Zoya at the bar place, you make this a powerful DUO. YOU KNOW YOU WERE FEELING HER. Luna and Monet roll their eyes Audrey but ya'll bet not play like the three of ya'll don't enjoy gossip, fashion, talking about people and lowkey making fun of Zoya's newbie-ness together. Honestly, I'm happy we got more group interactions and little moments, I can start to kind of see how they were friends for a while even if all of them aren't close.
Random Thoughts:
how was your son missing for two weeks on and off and there isn't more panic, you different but oh no heartbreak
aki is so loving towards everyone's parents, i love it
i also love that he assumed max was with aki
audrey as the child as it worse but her kiki's acting makes me feel for her more lol
the two girls were a bit of fun, i'd like to see monet take them down or build them up for fun
"i'm chuck bass" + the lil pull was great
i feel like max was already thinking about them becoming more when he mentioned audrey pushing him out but i'll take crumbs so he was probs just thinking about sex or the group as a whole
kate get out of nick's life, nick keep her out
zoya stop talking to that woman
jordan eww no, you can have kate
i'll ship obie and aki to get aki with someone that likes him and loves him, they talk, they have do something, i'll take it, whatever
i want throuple and i want akimax but not like this, i can't take the threesome scene unless max say's sorry and aki ducks him for half the episode if it's not that, i don't want it
maybe it's the start of a dream and it ends
(i do really want the ship but i don't trust the writers or the characters)
SIMON, I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU
who or what was max suppose to be?
why am i getting teachers and not family, i've seen jordan just one too many times
rafa prison
obie had shit to do this episode, use the money, i wanna see it
when will a student or random party gain control of gossip girl, give me that
rafa prison
i also think i’m a horrible person because i care more about stopping rafa than audrey’s home life so i was rooting for aki
overall, solid episode, maybe the footing has been found? i'm here for it and ep 6 looks like it's about to pop off

the inevitable / r.b
Pairing: Regulus Black x Fem!Reader
Summary: Defying the Dark Lord never ends well, you and Regulus learned this from experience
Warning(s): death, brief mention of torture, angst but with a fluffy ending (you’re welcome, we all know I usually would’ve left it angsty)
Words: 3k+
Prompt: “Run away with me, it’ll be worth it.” will be in bold
This is for @obsessedwithrandomthings‘ writing challenge (congrats again on 500 followers!) 
A/N: I cannot write fluff I’m so sorry if you cringe. Also I’m posting this at nearly 11pm so idek if anyones gonna see this
General HP Taglist: @summer-writes @lunaralpha270 @tinylumpiaa @slytherin-chaser @bloodblossom73 @peachesandpinks @mischiefsemimanaged @accio-rogers @iamak20 @klaus-m-trash
Permanent Taglist: @sleep-i-ness @emmaloo21 @62442-am @flowersgrewbackasth0rns @imintoodeeptostop
Regulus stood hunched over the basin. The green glow of the remaining potion acting as a cruel reminder of what remaining torture he has to go through. Kreacher stood in front of him with a goblet in his hands. Regulus nodded and gulped down the potion, feeling the burning sensation as it went down.
He’s only had a few sips and so far, have only felt like his insides were on fire. As uncomfortable and painful it was, he forced himself to take more until his surroundings seemed to change.
(Y/N)?” He rasped as his vision started to focus on the figure sprawled out in front of him. When his vision finally focused, that was when he started screaming and scrambled to get up. Kreacher quickly dropped the goblet back into the basin and went to hold back his master who was mumbling stuff under his breath.
“Master Black, you must drink the potion.”
“(Y/N)! She’s there! Kreacher let go of me, she’s going to die!”
“Master Black, (Y/N) isn’t there. You must drink the potion.”
By this point Kreacher had to force the boy to take the potion and he hated every single second of it. Hearing his Master’s cries and protests to save someone who wasn’t there. Kreacher only hoped that they’d be out of here soon.
Taking more of the potion only made the visions worse. He kept seeing you, then Sirius, then the both of you laying in front of him. The two of you, dead before him just before the vision changed again. This time, Regulus recognized it as a memory. It was the first time he had gotten into a fight with you. 
“I just don’t see why you’re so worked up on this (Y/N). I’ll be fine, just because my family supports him doesn’t mean I’ll become a Death Eater.” Regulus said, his tone laced with annoyance as he lied straight to your face. 
“Than run away with me, it’ll be worth it. I promise. You won’t have to worry about Voldemort or your family. It’ll only be us. Just say the word, take my hand and we’ll go.” You pleaded desperately 
It hurt him to see you so stressed over him and it hurt even more that he was lying to you. He was already branded with the Dark Mark but he just didn’t know how to tell you. He didn’t even know if he wanted to tell you. 
“No, (Y/N), I can’t. He’ll find us, find me somehow. That will only put us into more danger.” Again, lies spilled out from his mouth. 
Regulus now wondered if he had taken your hand, would have things turned out differently.
When the potion was finally gone, Kreacher quickly grabbed the locket and switched it for the one Regulus had brought that contained the letter.
“Water. I need water.” Regulus mumbled, looking around the cave before crawling towards the dark lake surrounding the island they were standing on.
“Master Black no!” Kreacher protested but it was too late.
Immediately after Regulus and cupped his hands into the water to bring some to his lips, white ghastly hands had started to crawl out from the water. Several of them from all sides of the island. It was as if they were waiting for him.
By the time Kreacher made it to Regulus’ side, the inferi were already dragging him towards the water and they both knew that there was nothing that could be done. Before he was pulled under the water, he gave Kreacher one last order, fighting to stay above the water for even just a few more seconds.
“Go! Don’t tell my family anything, and give the letter to (Y/N). Protect her at all cost and destroy the locket”
The House elf nodded and with a guilty expression, appeared out of the cave and back to 12 Grimmauld Place. The sounds of his Master’s screams and cries echoing in his head as he appeared into the home that felt colder than usual. He quickly called for his master’s owl and gave it the letter. “To Hogwarts, to Miss (Y/N) (Y/L/N).” 
---
Mail at Hogwarts was usually delivered during breakfast unless it was considered urgent, then it’d be delivered straight to the recipient’s dorm.
You were sitting on the edge of your one of your dorm-mates bed when a pecking noise was heard from outside the window. It was one of your other dorm-mates who decided to open the window after you waved it off as a tree branch on the window. 
“It’s not a branch (Y/N),why would there be a branch here? Anyways, it’s a letter for you.” They said as they handed you the letter. 
The second you grabbed it from her hand your brows raised as you recognized the Black family crest stamped in the middle of it, sealing the envelope shut. “Regulus?” you mumbled as you got up to go sit on your own bed. 
For the past month you noticed that he was acting differently and just a week ago he apparently left school. You just assumed that his parents needed him home for some urgent business and that was why he didn’t tell you anything. He was a busy boy after all. 
Breaking the seal on the envelope you took out the piece of parchment which was written in black ink. Your heart swells as you read what was written in it.
My little dove, 
If you’re reading this then it means that I have been killed. I’m sorry I’ve kept you in the dark about this but I found out something about Voldemort. He’s created this thing called a Horcrux. He’s not human, not anymore. For the past month I’ve been trying to figure out where to find it and possibly destroy it. I know that you’d probably scold me for doing a suicide mission but that’s now why I haven’t told you anything. It’s because I know you’d join me and do anything and everything so that I could live but I can’t let that happen. I’m ashamed to be a part of this family and shamed to have waited so long before finally realizing how horrible it actually is. 
There isn’t much time. I’m writing this the night before I go to the cave with Kreacher. Hopefully he is able to destroy the Horcrux and he’ll be mortal once again. 
Also, another thing. Please don’t tell my family anything or anyone in general, especially Sirius. If they ask about me just say you don’t know. Sirius would go out of his way to try and kill him and as much as I miss him, he’s safer with the Potters. Or at least I hope. 
I love you (Y/N), I always have and always will. Not even death can stop me, I promise. 
Yours forever,  Regulus Arcturus Black.
P.S.
Please don’t rush to see me again. We will meet again when your time comes but for now, your time is far from near. Don’t rush it darling, it’s not a race to the end. I love you forever. 
You didn’t notice the tears that fell from your eyes until one landed on the letter you were now gripping tightly. Your dorm-mates had paused their conversation and were now at the edge of your bed looking at you with worried expressions. 
“What’s wrong?” One of them asked.
“N-nothing.” You lied. 
They either believed it or knew better than to pressure you into saying anything. They simply just nodded and quickly left the dorm to give you your space which you silently thanked them for. When the door closed behind them you fell back onto the bed, your head buried into your pillow as your sobs filled the room. The letter clutched tightly in your arms until you had fallen asleep. 
When you woke up the next morning you immediately sat up to make sure that no one had taken the letter and read it. You sighed in relief when it was still in your hands and hid it before getting ready for the day. Getting ready as if you hadn’t just found out that the love of your life was killed the day before. No one could find out. 
You were thankful that there was only a week left before the Christmas holidays. Though you had plans to meet with Regulus over the break, you would now be spending them grieving a boy that no one but you and Kreacher knew had passed.  You only hoped that the week would end quickly. 
---
Kreacher greeted you at the door. 12 Grimmauld Place felt colder and lonelier than ever as you stepped inside. 
The House Elf led you to the Drawing Room where a yellow locket rested on a table. You looked back at Kreacher who nodded, already knowing what you were going to ask. 
“So this was the Dark Lord’s Horcrux, Salazar Slytherin’s locket.” You thought to yourself as you picked it up to examine it. 
“Kreacher has not been able to destroy it.” The old House Elf croaked. 
“And why would Kreacher do such a thing?” A voice said suddenly from behind the two of you. You instinctively grabbed your wand, ready to defend yourself and Kreacher but as you turned around two spells were shot towards you. The locket along with your wand dropped to the ground and a third spell was aimed at your chest, causing you to stumble and fall onto your back. 
Kreacher tried to intervene but with a wave of their wand, the attacker who you have yet to get a clear look at, sent the House Elf flying into the closest wall. By the time he was on his feet, the attacker was standing by your side and harshly grabbed your shoulder before apparating out of the house. Kreacher stood there for a moment, taking in the fact that he had failed his Master not just once but twice. 
“My Lord, this is the girl.” Your attacker said, they bowed at the tall dark figure who stood before them and that was when you finally recognized who it was. Bellatrix Lestrange, Regulus’s cousin who was an extremely loyal Death Eater to the Dark Lord. It was said that she was even obsessed with him and you wondered how twisted someone must be to be obsessed with a man like him.
“And where is the locket?” The figure, who you assumed was the Dark Lord, asked. His voice was calm which surprised you. You expected him to sound colder, cruel even. 
“I-I didn’t see it.” Was Bellatrix’s reply which caused the Dark Lord to finally turn around. 
“Well then, why don’t we ask our guest then.” He suggested as he slowly stepped closer towards you. Crouching down in front of you, he placed two fingers under your chin and lifted your head up so that you were looking him in the eye. 
You were once told that the Dark Lord was actually an attractive young man while studying at Hogwarts. Many girls fawned over him but he paid them no mind. He seemed to have his own gang of ‘friends’ who ended up to be his very first Death Eaters. No one would have thought that the he would have rose to power at such an early age. Over the years, as he started to become a dark wizard was when his features started to look less human but they were subtle. From a glance you would have assumed that he was just another wizard but upon closer inspection you noticed the subtle snake-like features. 
“Now, have you seen a yellow locket? More specifically, one that shouldn’t have been touched from the start.”He asked you calmly, a wicked smirk on his lips as he watched you try to appear calm. 
“No.” You lied through gritted teeth. 
His smirk seemed to grow as he let go from your chin. “Liar!” He seethed as he stood up straight. 
He turned to Bellatrix who stood behind you and you felt your heart drop to your stomach when you heard him say, “Bella, do as you please.”
The sounds of his footsteps retreating echoed through the dimly lit room and when the door behind him closed shut you prayed, prayed for some sort of God or deity to spare you from what you knew was going to come. 
“Looks like we are going to have some fun.” She said in a sickly sweet tone before grabbing her wand and pulling you up by your shoulder. 
It felt like hours had gone by as you laid on the cold ground, not you minded. You liked the cold ground. It was better than Bellatrix’s wand burning into your skin or the cruciatus curse that felt like white-hot knives piercing your skin. 
Just when you had thought it was over, the pain filled your body again. Your bones felt like they were on fire and you tried to bite back a scream. Bellatrix only giggled, seeming to love the pain she was inflicting as she rasped her wand and pointed it at you again. 
“Please.” You had managed to say. Due to the hours of torture you had just gone through you were surprised you had enough strength to even speak. 
Bellatrix lowered her wand, her eyes no longer bearing that maniac look that often filled her eyes as her expression looked more sympathetic. At this point you were far too weak to even try and figure out if this was all an act or not. A part of you told you to not get your hopes up but on the verge of death, your hopes were already far too high. 
She crouched down and leaned towards your ear, her signature smirk returning to her face as she whispered, “You should’ve told him where it was.” before one last spell shot out form her wand.
“Avada Kedavra.” 
Your body fell limp and during the last second before death greeted you, a small smile appeared on your lips as your last thoughts were of finally reuniting with Regulus. Then quicker than ever, darkness flooded your vision and you welcomed it.  
--- 
When you opened your eyes again it was no longer darkness that flooded your vision but bright white light. Once your vision adjusted you noticed you were at Kings Cross Station except it was entirely white. Even the clothes you wore were all white. Was this the afterlife? 
“He’s waiting for you.” A familiar voice said and you turned around to see your grandmother. You didn’t hesitate for a second as you ran towards her to hug her, a chuckle escaping her lips as she hugged you back. You had lost her the summer before you started Hogwarts and it pained you to not be able to tell her what you experienced there. You knew she would’ve loved to hear what you had to say but maybe now, 6 years later, you could finally tell her. 
“As much as I’d love to hear about your years at Hogwarts, I have to wait for someone else.” Your grandmother said as if she had read your mind.
“Mom...” 
“Yes my child, though worry not, it is not her time yet.” 
Silence draped itself onto the two of you as you realized that your parents had no idea that you had died. You simply told them that you were going to a friend’s house and that you’d be back for dinner but now that wouldn’t be happening. 
“They’ll be fine, don’t worry about them. What you should be worrying about is keeping him waiting.” Your grandmother said and you looked at her with a confused expression. 
“He?” You asked, not sure who she could have been referring to. She simply smiled and then it clicked in your head. Regulus.
“Take the train down three stops, get off and wait until the train is gone before getting off the platform. He’ll be there waiting for you.” With one last hug, you left your grandmother and hopped onto the train that arrived a few minutes after. You followed her instructions, getting off at the third stop and waiting until the train was fully gone before getting off of the platform. 
Getting off of the platform, you were relieved to see that everything wasn’t all white but instead, was the countryside with farm animals and a small cottage. There was a feeling inside you that wanted for you to go towards the cottage. 
“I’m already dead so what’s the worst that could happen?” You thought to yourself before heading towards the cottage. 
The closer you got the more nostalgic you felt though you couldn’t figure out how. By the time you were standing on the front door step, you could’ve sworn that you’ve seen the cottage somewhere before. 
Before you could even knock, the door swung open and a head of black curly hair immediately pulled you into their embrace. You stood there unsure of what was happening until the familiar scent of the boy you loved filled your senses. 
“Regulus...” You said softly, as if trying to confirm whether it was really him or not that was hugging you so tightly. 
He pulled away, hands no longer holding you close to him but now cupping your face. Tears filled both your eyes though neither of you knew who started crying first. 
“You’re such an idiot.” He tried joking as he buried your face in his chest. He held you close, pressing kisses into your hair as tears streamed down both your faces. 
“I love you.” You said, lifting you head up from his chest to look into his eyes that you were starting to miss. You were happy to see that they didn’t look so dull anymore.
“I love you more. But that doesn’t mean you’re not an idiot. I told you to take your time which meant not to go and try to destroy the Horcrux. I even told Kreacher to protect you but clearly-” Pulling his face closer to yours so that you could kiss him caused his lecture to abruptly stop as he melted into the kiss. 
The moment lasted for a while but ended far too quickly in your opinion as Regulus pulled away and started to lecture you again causing you to roll your eyes. 
“You can lecture me all you want but could you at least tell me why we’re here?” You stopped him mid-lecture, pointing to the area surrounding you. For some reason it felt like home.  
“This was the life you wanted when you asked me to run away with you,” He replied with a smile that quickly dropped, “I’m sorry for not taking your hand that night. Life would’ve been different, maybe even better if I had but I was scared. I’m so sorry.”
You flashed him a soft smile, pulling his face closer to yours so that you could press a kiss to his check. A blush bloomed on his cheeks and though he tried to hide it, he knew it was no use and just gave up.
The two of you stood there for a while. Not a word being scad but instead, a comforting silence as you both took in each-others appearance. It’s been a while since either of you have been able to feel this peaceful.
“So this is the other side?” You asked breaking the silence. 
“I think so yeah. Why? You don’t like it?” The smile on his face turned into a worried expression as he looked at you. His reaction caused you to laugh. Ignoring his questioning look, you placed your hand into his and leaned your head against his shoulder. 
“No no, I like it though I don’t really care where we are.” 
“And why is that?” 
“Because I have you with me.” You replied, looking up at him with a smile which he mirrored. 
“You’re such a sap.” He teased. 
“But you still love me.”
“And I always will.”

Vivs, I came across this from a "Ron's a jealous slacker" fan, please use your expertness to contradict this stupid statement. Y do ron stans refuse to accept that he just wanted attention without actually doing any hardwork! Didn't he just desire being a headboy & a quidditch captain? He would have achieved it if he would stop being a self piting, lazy person & actually study or practice to achieve his dreams! he doesn't deserve any sympathy we live in actual world where hardwork matters only.
The funniest thing about this is that they’re actually talking about Harry.
Harry actually never did put in effort to achieve things. Except this once when he mastered the Patronus at 13, we’ll give him that. But Quidditch? Oh he just hops on a broom and woah suddenly he’s flying so well he’s in the Quidditch team and gets a great broom and is totally the bestest and a total fucking Mary Sue! Fighting against Voldemort? Well thank god for Loveus Ex Machina that always saves your ass without ever making you lift a finger ever! And how he defeated Voldemort too? With a spell he learned in second year and he only won that fight because ~surprise~ Voldemort’s wand wasn’t okay with killing Harry for bullshit plot reasons. Amazing. Wonderful. Inspiring. Our hero, everyone, never actually worked for anything a day in his life, ever.
Meanwhile Ron? Actually worked hard to get on the Quidditch team, which was something he dreamed of. Actually moved his ass to learn to fight and didn’t have the luxury of ~lurrrrve~ to excuse him out of fights.  Ron actually did MORE than Harry ever did, but of course, protagonist-centred favouritism paired with mindless Harmonian propaganda won’t let you realize that because it’s just so much easier to imagine yourself as ~the special one :))~.
...
Ron is lazy you say.
Did he really believe he was better than Ron? No, said the small voice defiantly. Was that true? Harry wondered, anxiously probing his own feelings. I’m better at Quidditch, said the voice. But I’m not better at anything else. That was definitely true, Harry thought; he was no better than Ron in lessons. But what about outside lessons? What about those adventures he, Ron, and Hermione had had together since they had started at Hogwarts, often risking much worse than expulsion? Well, Ron and Hermione were with me most of the time, said the voice in Harry’s head. - Order of the Phoenix, chapter 9
Harry must be lazy too then.
Ah, but Harry’s word isn’t enough, since, after all, he does say himself that Hermione is like his sister, yet there’s a bunch of irreducible folks who insist on disregarding their hero’s agency whenever it is convenient for them. Therefore let’s go grab quotes that will settle the matter once and for all:
Ron had taken over responsibility for Buckbeak's appeal. When he wasn't doing his own work, he was poring over enormously thick volumes with names like The Handbook of Hippogriff Psychology and Fowl or Foul? A Study of Hippogriff Brutality. He was so absorbed, he even forgot to be horrible to Crookshanks. - Prisoner of Azkaban, chapter 15
Doing his own work AND working on something that won’t give him extra credit once Hermione finally swallowed her pride and apologized (for the first and last time in the books). But yeah totally lazy blah blah blah.
“But what have you got your broom for, you haven’t been flying, have you?” Harry asked. “I — well — well, okay, I’ll tell you, but don’t laugh, all right?” Ron said defensively, turning redder with every second. “I-I thought I’d try out for Gryffindor Keeper now I’ve got a decent broom. There. Go on. Laugh.” &#145;“I’m not laughing,” said Harry. Ron blinked. “It’s a brilliant idea! It’d be really cool if you got on the team! I’ve never seen you play Keeper, are you good?” “I’m not bad,” said Ron, who looked immensely relieved at Harry’s reaction. “Charlie, Fred, and George always made me Keep for them when they were training during the holidays.” “So you’ve been practicing tonight?” “Every evening since Tuesday... just on my own, though, I’ve been trying to bewitch Quaffles to fly at me, but it hasn’t been easy and I don’t know how much use it’ll be.” Ron looked nervous and anxious. “Fred and George are going to laugh themselves stupid when I turn up for the tryouts. They haven’t stopped taking the mickey out of me since I got made a prefect.” - Order of the Phoenix, chapter 13
……………. Well damn. Remember how hard Harry had to train to get the Seeker position?
Oh that’s right, I forgot: HE DIDN’T! Because Chosen One Boy-Who-Lived poor orphan protagonist blah blah.
Ron though? Ron WORKED to get his position. Ron practiced, Ron worked out a way to practice alone by enchanting stuff to fly to him. When did Harry do that? Ah yes, he didn’t, because he had Oliver coaching him so he never had to figure out how to train by himself.
Meanwhile Ron was reading two years of Charms notes with his fingers in his ears, his lips moving soundlessly; Seamus was lying flat on his back on the floor, reciting the definition of a Substantive Charm, while Dean checked it against The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 5; and Parvati and Lavender, who were practicing basic loco-motion charms, were making their pencil cases race each other around the edge of the table. Dinner was a subdued affair that night. Harry and Ron did not talk much, but ate with gusto, having studied hard all day. Hermione, on the other hand, kept putting down her knife and fork and diving under the table for her bag, from which she would seize a book to check some fact or figure. Ron was just telling her that she ought to eat a decent meal or she would not sleep that night, when her fork slid from her limp fingers and landed with a loud tinkle on her plate. - Order of the Phoenix, chapter 31
Another one for “EW FOOD HOW DARE THESE TEENAGERS EAT, DISGUSTING”, and also oh, surprise, Ron actually worked. Incredible. Can you believe. Isn’t he supposed to be lazy. Woah. I totally and utterly did not expect this at all.
Of course I must bring up something else -
“How many hours d’you think you’re doing a day?” he demanded of Harry and Ron as they queued outside Herbology, a manic gleam in his eyes. “I dunno,” said Ron. “A few...” “More or less than eight?” “Less, I s’pose,” said Ron, looking slightly alarmed. “I’m doing eight,” said Ernie, puffing out his chest. “Eight or nine. &#145;I’m getting an hour in before breakfast every day. Eight’s my average. I can do ten on a good weekend day. I did nine and a half on Monday. Not so good on Tuesday — only seven and a quarter. Then on Wednesday —” - Order of the Phoenix, chapter 31
Okay first off - Ron estimates his study time to be “a few [hours]”. That’s more than I ever did for my own exams and wouldn’t you know it, I passed them.
Second off: THIS CONVERSATION IS CLEARLY MEANT TO BE HUMOROUS AND YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE SAME REACTION AS RON.
As in “holy shit this guy is insane”.
To top it off, here’s also Harry’s reaction in case some people still care about their hero’s agency:
Harry was deeply thankful that Professor Sprout ushered them into greenhouse three at that point, forcing Ernie to abandon his recital.
Harry isn’t impressed. Harry isn’t awed. Harry isn’t filled with sudden godly inspiration to “ditch Ron and join a study group and become the smartestest in the school!!!”
No, Harry doesn’t care for studying and spending hours bending over a book. Harry would like to pass his exams and then never think about them again.
But the only thing Harry felt he was really good at was Quidditch. In the end, he chose the same new subjects as Ron, feeling that if he was lousy at them, at least he’d have someone friendly to help him. - Chamber of Secrets
Harry wouldn’t have expected Ron to help him had Ron never helped him before. So we can extrapolate that not only does Ron does his homework, but he will also take time and effort to help Harry out if need be.
But of course Harry doesn’t need or care for Ron totally absolutely of course yes. (Another one for the “Harry picks Ron over Hermione” guys!!! Canon is on our side, sorry not sorry!)
...
Also, let it be said:
we live in actual world where hardwork matters only
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.
Look at Kim Kardashian, at Donald Trump, at basically any billionaire. Did they really do any hard work, or did they build their whole career out of exploitation, cheap scandals and their parents’ already-existing fortune?
In our world, Harry would be rich because Mummy and Daddy left him a trust fund, Hermione would have Mummy and Daddy’s money to help her get by until she can find some dead-end job she hates because the job market is shit, and poor Ron would be stuck in poverty because he was poor to begin with and getting out of poverty is much, much harder than getting rich.

It's not edited. I didn't even read it over, so it might be a huge hot mess. But here is a scene that was written for part 2 of Second Chances with the help of @ethulinda while Harry was doing school from home, that never made it in the story...
Remus pressed his fingers to his forehead as he left the room from speaking to Sirius. The man had been concerned about his godson, for good reason. The teen was refusing to do his school work while he was with his godfather, for several days at that. Sirius had expressed that he had waited to inform him of the issues, believing Harry was simply not feeling all too well. An excuse that Harry had clearly been giving the man. Tossing a hand full of floo powder into the hearth, Remus stepped into the green flames while announcing his destination. He always hated telling Severus when the child had done something wrong. Even worse when it involved him lying. Remus stepped out into his friend’s office at Hogwarts. He folded his arms over his chest as he released a heavy breath. “Severus.” He couldn’t help the disappoint lacing his voice, as he moved further into the room.
Snape looked up from the pile of papers he was working on grading. Concern took over his face as he saw the disappointment on his friends features. “What is it?” Snape had a horrible feeling that the look on Remus’ face, the tone of his voice - had something to do with Harry. The child had been spending three days a week with his godfather for nearly a month now. Snape had been surprised by how smoothly it was going. He found himself hoping that Remus wasn’t about to destroy that feeling of content.
Remus moved over, taking a seat in front of the man’s desk. He leaned back, crossing his left leg over his right. “Has Harry mentioned how his classes are going? Besides the work for our classes. Have you heard anything?” He frowned as he clasped his hands together.
Snape raised an eyebrow at the work. “I personally delivered his completed work last week. I asked him last night and he said that this week has been quite easy. He assured me that he is nearly done with his assignments.” Snape eyed his friend carefully, taking in the frown on his lips. “Why do you ask?”
Remus released a heavy breath at the words, words that he wasn't exactly surprised at hearing. Still, the disappointment only rose. "I just had quite the discussion with Sirius. Apparently the child has been claiming he's ill and refusing to do any work with him." His frown only deepened as he spoke.
Disappointment flashed across Snape’s face. “Claiming he is ill? He has been fine. He was out on his broom for nearly two hours last night and after that ate two helpings of dinner and a large dessert. He is far from ill!” A frown formed on Snape’s face as the words that Remus had spoken completely sunk in. “He has been lying to both his godfather as well as me.” He paused for a moment shaking his head angrily. “That child is not going to sit properly when I am done with him...”
Remus didn’t respond to the words, in fact he actually inclined his head them. “I agree, he does need a lesson..” His voice faded before he cleared his throat. “I’m due to teach his defense lesson soon. Do you mind if I.. see what he says on the matter?” He uncrossed his legs, leaning forward slightly.
Snape couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the very idea that Remus agreed with him. Typically the man did his best to make sure he went easy on Harry. “Please do,” Snape nodded. “I am far too busy today to go home and deal with him early.” He paused for a moment. “In fact, you can tell him that I am aware and that I will be home at five sharp. You can also tell him that when I arrive I expect to find him waiting in the corner.” Snape nearly took his words back but instead his lips set in a tight line. “That child of mine needs to learn that lying is not acceptable. Nor is refusing to do his schoolwork.”
"Not only has he lied to Sirius, but as you stated to yourself and in the same regard myself as well." Remus gave a hum as he pushed himself up to stand. He knew that the teen knew FAR better than to lie, but to do so so.. easily for the last several days.. Under normal circumstances, he would of felt for the child. But right then, he was nothing but disappointed.
“Feel free to express your disappointment in any way you wish. You know I trust your judgement.” Snape sighed as he shook his head once more in complete disbelief at his child’s actions. “And please tell Black thank you for me. I appreciate that he was mature enough to tell you rather than trying to help Harry hide his actions.”
"I will." Remus bowed his head at the words, moving over to the fireplace. "I apologize that that this is an issue to begin with." ---------- Harry gathered the items he would need for when Remus arrived, placing them on the kitchen table. Normally the man arrived a few minutes early, and he was surprised he hadn't shown up yet. Shrugging, Harry passed the thought that the man must of been caught up at Hogwarts longer than planned. He moved to the back door, opening it to allow Bane out.
Remus stepped into the familiar parlor, still unable to shake the feeling of disappointment that he had in the teenager. The ease that the boy had been lying with was unnerving. Remus made his way into the kitchen forcing himself to handle the situation without losing his patience completely. “Harry,” he greeted the boy as he moved towards the kitchen table.
Harry turned to look over his shoulder at the man, smiling brightly as Remus stepped in. "Hey Remus." Calling Bane back inside, the teen shut the door and moved over towards the table. "How're you?"
Remus sat down at the table, motioning with one hand for Harry to take a seat next to him. “I’m okay. How are you? How are your classes going?” Remus worked hard to keep his face normal.
Harry moved over to sit next to the man, chewing on his bottom lip at the question. He was, honestly, behind in everything. And he only had two more days to catch up. "Eh.. they're.." He shrugged a shoulder slightly, pulling his defense book forward. "They're okay.."
Remus made a soft humming noise at the words as he looked down at the boy’s Defense book. “Page 87 please.” He leaned back in his chair eyeing the teenager carefully as he debated how to bring the boy’s misdeeds up.
Harry did so, his gaze remaining on the book. His fingers hovered on the page, swallowing after a moment. He could tell Remus.. Remus had his back for, well, EVERYTHING! He always had. "..Can we talk..?" It was only a matter of time before Snape asked for his work, it was only a matter of time before everything came out. The giant squid churned within Harry's stomach, causing the teen to wrap his arms around himself. It was Remus. He had no reason to be nervous. He could even talk to Snape for him! Remus nodded as he sat up straight once more, his elbows resting on the kitchen table. “What is it that you would like to talk about? Perhaps how sick you have been all week?” He raised a knowing eyebrow at the teenager.
Harry felt his blood run cold at the words, his fingers tingling as he clasped his hands together after a moment. "You.. you talked to Sirius." He offered after a quiet minute.
Remus nodded at the question. “I did. I spoke to Severus as well.” He paused for a long moment before he opened his mouth once more, his words coming out in a far sterner voice than he had ever used with Harry. “What were you thinking? Lying in such a way!”
Harry visibly cringed at the words, his shoulders hunching over as the man's voice rose slightly. "I just wanted to spend some normal time with Sirius!" He felt his mouth go dry as he spoke. Snape was already told, and he didn't come home yet. "I-I was still going to get the work done.."
“You lied to your godfather as well as to Severus and even to me.” Remus’ voice held sadness as well as disappointment. “I know for a fact that you know far better than that Harry. And wanting to spend time with Sirius without doing schoolwork is not an acceptable excuse. Do you honestly think that Severus will disagree and accept it?”
Harry shook his head at the words, feeling tears start to burn the bottom of his eyes. "No.." He removed his glasses, raising a hand to catch a tear before it had a chance to fall. "But I've still been working on all of it.. just not when I was with Sirius,.."
Remus raised an eyebrow at the words. He suddenly had a fleeting feeling of regret over how harshly he had just spoken to the child. “Have you? It is nearly done then?” Surely if Harry’s work was complete he would speak to Snape once more - calm the man down a bit.
The teen mentally cursed his words, his eyes lowering down to his book. "I mean.. not, it's- it's not." Harry swallowed once more. He had hardly started to TOUCH the work.
“It’s halfway done then?” Remus asked in a hopeful voice. Halfway was hardly acceptable when the work was due so soon, still Remus could work with that. He could help Harry complete some of it now and get him a bit more caught up and then talk to Snape when he returned to Hogwarts.
Closing his eyes, the teen shook his head with a soft "No.." He pushed his book away at the word, resting his elbows on the table. "I'm sorry.." He offered softly."I-I can start on it all now! And then it'll be okay.."
Remus leaned back in his chair once more, his arms folding over his chest. “Have you done any of it aside from Defense and Potions?” He was nearly certain that he had never felt such an overwhelming urge to land a good smack to the boy’s bum before.
"I.." Harry rested his head on his hand, looking away from the man and starting down. "No.." He whispered, his other hand tightening into a fist. His whole body felt numb with his nerves.
Remus let out a long breath that he hadn’t realized he had been holding in. “It’s due in two days time. Did you expect to somehow get it all done before then? Did you expect that Sirius would not mention to myself or even Severus that you have been telling him you were ill?” Remus’ voice was stern once more. “He was quite worried about you when he spoke to me about it.”
Harry kept his eyes on the table, still refusing to look towards the man. He hated this. He had hoped, in some way, Remus would work with him. Understand that he wanted to spend time with Sirius. In the same breath, he also wished Sirius hadn't said anything.
“Nothing at all to say for yourself?” Remus leaned forward once more. He lowered his own head in an attempt to look at Harry’s face. “Severus is not pleased in the least Harry James.” Remus nearly wanted to yell at the child to look at him and respond but he was sure doing so would not help the situation .
Noticing Remus move, Harry shifted his eyes up while he continued to talk. "I'll get it done.." He whispered softly. "Can't.. can't you tell him it'll be done and....and calm him down? Please? I just wanted to spend time with Sirius."
Remus felt the disappointment race through his body once more. “Not this time.” He shook his head firmly. “I’m afraid that I am finding myself agreeing with Severus in this matter. You lied a bit too much this week for my liking.”
Harry felt his chin quiver at the words, taking in a deep breath in an attempt to calm his nerves. He fell silent, lowering his gaze back down.
“Your guardian also asked me to inform you that he will be home at five this evening and he expects to find you in the corner when he arrives.” Despite his utter disappointment in the teenager, Remus couldn’t help but feel horrible about the words he had just spoken. Not that he didn’t think that the teenager deserved punishment but he was sure Harry would be well past embarrassed by them.
Harry's cheeks darkened at the words, shaking his head at the words. Snape told Remus that?! He lowered his hand away from his face. "I don't want to talk about any of it anymore.." The teen had been stressed enough knowing he needed to get the work down. And now everything had started to crash around him.
“I will grant you that wish as we have to get your Defense work completed. However, I would not expect Severus to allow you the same privilege.” Remus gave the child a stern look. “Read pages 87 and 88 and then we will discuss what they entail.”
Harry silently pulled his book back towards himself, looking down at the pages. He re-read the first paragraph several times before he finally gave up. A tear escaped and ran down his cheek, the teen quickly catching it as he attempted to refocus and move on down the page. It was clearly impossible for the teen to concentrate even reading.
Remus watched the boy carefully, sighing softly as he saw the tear escape the boy’s eye. “I am assuming that you are beginning to greatly regret your actions and behavior this week.”
Harry slowly nodded, pushing the book away once more. Removing his glasses, he placed them down upon the table before he rested his head within his hands.
“You told me only a moment ago that you do not wish to talk about it. If that is the case then you need to complete your Defense lesson for today.” Remus forced the words out. A part of him would have liked to pull the boy out of his chair and into a tight hug and yet another part of him would have liked to pull him out of his chair and over his knee. The tears were slowly breaking him but he still couldn’t completely shake the feeling of utter disappointment and anger at Harry’s behavior.
"Snape's going to go mental though.." Harry whispered, his hands blocking his eyes as he stared down. If Remus was upset, he couldn't imagine how his guardian would be when he got home.
In the past this was the moment where Remus would typically assure the teenager that he would speak to his guardian and calm him down the best he could. Today however, Remus knew for a fact he was not going to do anything of the sort. If Harry could lie so easily maybe Snape going mental was exactly what he needed. “I believe you are correct,” Remus nodded as he looked over to the child. “With good reason at that.”
The teen closed his eyes tightly at the words, several more tears falling. He used his thumbs to brush them away, sniffing softly. "And you're angry." At that moment, he hardly wanted to be in the same room. The tension simply felt thick to the teen and he wanted it gone.
“I am disappointed,” Remus clarified. “Very disappointed.” He paused for a moment as he sighed softly. “I don’t fancy being lied to Harry James. I also don’t appreciate when my friends are lied to.”
Harry lowered his hands, resting them on top of each other. "I'm sorry.." He whispered softly.
“Are you?” Remus questioned in a voice so stern he hardly recognized it as his own. “Or is that a lie as well?”
Hurt flashed across Harry's face at the words, his chin quivering before he pushed himself up and away from the table. Everything was going to be a lie now then? He didn't wait for Remus to say anything more before he quickly departed the kitchen and headed up the stairs. Remus nearly left for Hogwarts. He nearly yelled at the child to get himself back in the kitchen. He nearly climbed the stairs with the intent to put Harry across his knee before Severus could. After several long moments he stood and made his way through the lower level of the house. He climbed the staircase slowly before pausing outside of Harry’s bedroom door. He raised a hand and knocked twice before waiting to be told that he could enter.
"What?" Came the teen's reply, tears lacing his tone. Harry sat on his bed, leaning against the headboard as he stared towards the window. None of this would of happened if he was at Hogwarts.
Remus pushes the door open, stepping into the teenagers bedroom. “I realize that you are upset and regretting your actions however, you have no one to blame for them but yourself.” Remus leaned against the boy’s wardrobe, his arms folded over his chest.
Harry looked up to the man as he entered before staring down to his bed covers. "I know that.." He muttered, a hint of cheek entering his tone.
Remus shook his head firmly as he stood up straight, his weight off of the wardrobe. “If you are going to speak to me with that cheek I will see myself back to Hogwarts.”
Harry fell silent for a moment before slowly shaking his head. "Don't leave.." His voice was soft as he pulled a knee up towards his chest.
Remus sighed softly as his eyes fell on the clock on Harry’s bedside table. “You have two hours until Severus will be home and thirty minutes until I have to leave to teach my last class of the day. Perhaps you should use your time wisely?”
Harry slowly nodded, pushing himself up and moving to his desk. He picked up his bag, taking out his transfiguration textbook first. "I -am- sorry." He glanced over towards Remus.
Remus nodded as he moved and sat on the foot of the boy’s bed. He was prepared to stay for the next thirty minutes and help the boy if he could. “It had better not happen again Harry.”
"It won't." Harry breathed as he started on his first bit of transfiguration work. He fell silent, resting his head in left hand as he wrote. After a few minutes, he lowered his quill and swallowed. "I'm nervous.." He finally admitted.
Remus’ eyes hadn’t left the boy as he worked. When Harry spoke, Remus cleared his throat softly. “To face Severus?”
Harry nodded, resting his forehead into his hands. "Yea."
“Why are you nervous?” Remus asked in a gentle tone. He had a good feeling of exactly why the teenager was feeling that way. If he was waiting for his father to come home to discipline him, he would have been nervous too.
"Because.. he'll be angry. So angry.." The man was never scary to him, but he HATED when the man was upset. He hated being the cause of it.
Remus nodded at the words. “You are right, he likely will be. However he loves you very much Harry. He won’t stay angry, you know that.”
"I know.." Harry whispered, tilting his head to look back at the man. "Doesn't make it easier."
Remus hummed softly at the words. “I’m sure it doesn’t.” He paused for a moment as he gave Harry a sad smile. “A walloping is never easy to wait for is it?”
Harry visibly tensed at the words, his cheeks flushing. It was one thing knowing what was coming, it was another to hear REMUS say it. "You can't talk him out of it..?"
Remus shook his head at the request. “You lied quite a bit this week. You didn’t complete your schoolwork. You made Sirius believe that you were ill. I cannot talk him out of this.”
"Is Sirius upset too?" Harry forced himself to sit up straight, looking back to his work.
“Sirius is not aware that you lied to him at the moment.” Remus cleared his throat once more. “I believe that it would be best if you told him yourself.”
He whined softly at the words, sighing soon after. Harry couldn't imagine the disappointment on his godfather's face either! Still, the teen continued to work, chewing on his bottom lip.
After twenty minutes passed Remus stood moving over to Harry. He peered over the boy at his work giving an approving nod at how much he had completed. His hand reached out gently cupping the back of the teenagers neck and giving it a light squeeze. “I need to get back to Hogwarts now. But do not forget to watch the time, remember what Severus said about when he arrives home. I doubt you want to make him any more cross.”
Harry leaned back against the touch slightly, swallowing heavily once more as he nodded. "Okay.." He whispered softly, turning a page within his book. He doubted that his guardian would be more cross than he already would be though.
“I’ll come visit for a bit tomorrow,” Remus promised as he removed his hand from the back of the boy’s neck. “You try and get some work completed before you need to go downstairs.” Remus moved out of the room, leaving the bedroom door open as he did. He made his way downstairs before flooing back to Hogwarts.
Harry raised his left hand after the man left, rubbing at his eyes as several tears started to fall. Of course he knew he had to get the work done soon, but he wished he could redo the week. He forced his eyes back to his book, finishing up his first assignment before moving on to the second. This continued for the next couple of hours, the teen's eyes finally looking up towards the clock. It was nearing five and Snape would be back.. He pushed himself away and up from his desk, glad that he got through Transfiguration at least. That would at least be something. Harry made his way downstairs, suddenly pausing at the bottom step. His mouth went dry once more as he went over to his usual corner. The teen folded his arms tightly around himself, eyes closing.
Snape walked into his parlor at Hogwarts. His anger over the situation with Harry had hardly diminished at all in the past few hours. He swore to himself that if the child wasn’t in the corner where he had instructed him to be he would take a strap to him. Snape moved towards the fireplace picking up a handful of floo powder before stepping inside. He dropped the floo powder to his feet stating his destination clearly. A moment later he stepped into the parlor in his own home. His eyes going to his son standing silently in the corner. He gave an approving nod at the boy’s actions. At the very least Snape was pleased that he had at least listened now. He walked towards, Harry stopping only a step behind the child as he debated landing a smack to his rear end.
Harry's back tensed as he heard the floo roar to life behind him, shifting his head just slightly. He heard the footsteps approach him, his eyes closing. His breath hitched slightly, fresh tears burning under his eye lids. The teen didn't say anything. He knew he shouldn't.
Snape turned and walked away from his child, sitting down in his armchair. He sighed softly at the idea of what his evening would consist of. Earlier in the day he had been hopeful for a nice, quiet night with his son but that hope was long gone. His eyes moved to the clock on the mantel noting that it was five after five. He swore to himself that Harry was not leaving that corner until at least half past the hour.
Harry had actually hoped the man would say something. Yell, scolding, anything to break the silence of the room. Yet the only sound there was were Bane's nails clicking against the floor as the dog moved to greet Snape. After a few more minutes, Harry swallowed heavily and rested his forehead against the wall.
Snape watched as the boy leaned against the wall. His eyes moved to the clock once more noting that half of Harry’s time had passed. “Stand up straight,” Snape hissed in an angry tone. “You are not standing in the corner to relax young man!”
Harry jumped at the sudden snap, standing straight once more quickly. He instead folded his arms over himself, staring down towards the floor. Several tears that had been threatening to fall finally did so, causing the teen to raise a hand brush away a few of them. Snape’s eyes narrowed on the teenager as he mentally went over his list of misdeeds. Remus had informed him when he returned to Hogwarts that he had left Harry working on his schoolwork and Snape was quiet curious as to how much of it the boy had managed to complete. He was quite curious about several other things as well. He swore to himself that if Harry showed him any cheek, even once, that he would put him back over his knee in a few hours when the boy went to bed. Snape’s eyes moved from Harry to the clock once more. The boy had less than ten minutes left. “I certainly hope that you are thinking long and hard about where your lying has gotten you young man.” Snape’s voice was stern, angry. Harry took in a deep breath, giving no other response to the words. He wouldn’t respond. Not right then. Closing his eyes, the teen rose hands to brush away several tears. Snape remained silent, his eyes moving from Harry to the clock on the mantel  as the last minutes ticked by. When the final minute ended Snape cleared his throat. “Are you ready to come out of the corner or is another thirty minutes necessary?” Harry turned at the words, shaking his head with a soft “No..” He started over towards the man before he paused and casted a glance at the desk before back over towards his guardian. Snape’s eyes narrowed, his lips set in a tight line S he raised a hand and crooked a finger at his son before firmly pointing to the ground directly in front of him. “To me Harry James.” Harry swallowed, slowly making his way over to the man and stopping once he reached him. His mouth, once more, felt dry as he raised a hand to brush at a stray tear. “I’m sorry..” He whispered softly, chewing on his bottom lip as he stared at his guardian. Snape raised an eyebrow at the words as he took hold of Harry’s hand and pulled him closer yet. “You are only sorry that you were caught!” The man decided in an low, angry tone. Harry didn’t respond to those words, his eyes shifting from Snape’s angry face to stare down at the man’s knee. He was sure if he wasn’t able to catch up on the work, then he would of told him. “I just wanted to spend some normal time with Sirius..” He offered softly, his eyes still remaining low. Snape’s hand reached out and firmly gripped the child’s chin as he forced his eyes up to look at him. “Did something prevent you from coming to me and asking if you could do so at a time that is not designated for you to be completing your schoolwork?” Harry tried to pull his chin away from the man's grasp before he simply rested his head in the hold.
"I.. well no." The teen admitted softly. Snape’s grip tightened slightly on the small chin. “Instead you felt it necessary to lie to me as well as to your godfather and Remus? What exactly did you say you were sick with?” When the grip tightened, he once more started to shift his head. "Please let go." He whined, before answer the man's question. "J-just that my stomach had been bothering me.." Snape made no attempt to let the child go or even loosen his grip. “You seemed perfectly fine to me all week.” Snape’s tone remained angry. “Though I can assure you that you will feel plenty of discomfort this evening though it will not be in your stomach.” He paused for a long moment. “Perhaps that mouth of yours needs washing out with a bar of soap to teach you that lying is unacceptable?” Harry's chin quivered in his guardian grip, several more tears falling. "No." He raised a hand, sniffing as he cleared away his tears to no avail. They continued to fall and the teen gave the man a pleading look. “No?” Snape questioned sternly as his hand let go of the small chin. “Then how exactly are we going to make sure that your lying ends here?” Snape shook his head before Harry had a chance to respond. “By my calculations we have dealt with dishonesty from you one too many times.” “I-I was still going to get the work done!” He pulled his face away, rubbing at his cheeks. “I already finished all of transfiguration and started charms.” “You certainly are,” Snape nodded firmly. “The moment that we are done here you are bringing you work to the kitchen where you will remain until it is done.” The teen released a breath, slowly nodding at the words. "Okay.." He agreed softly. "And I AM sorry..I.. I didn't think you'd be okay with Sirius and I just.. just hanging out." “Regardless of what you thought that is not an excuse to lie Harry!” Snape let out an angry breath before fixing the child with a stern glare. “How much of your work for this week have you completed?” "Potions, defense.. and transfiguration." Harry's voice was soft, his eyes once more falling down. It wasn't a lot that he had finished- compared to a whole week's worth of work. “Eyes up!” Snape hissed angrily. “Unless you want my help with that.” He cleared his throat as his head shook in disbelief. “I suppose it will be quiet a long night of schoolwork for you young man.” Harry forced his eyes up at the words, slowly nodding after a minute. "I'll get it all done tonight.." He whispered, nodding once more with his words. Snape’s eyes locked with his son’s. “And what are we going to do to stop this lying? You do not want your mouth washed out...perhaps you need a healthy dose of veritaserum? You can have your backside spanked for every lie I uncover!” Harry felt himself go numb at the words, shaking his head as Snape spoke. "No.. no, I swear I won't lie again!" He couldn't help the desperation that entered his voice as he spoke, attempting to blink back tears. However the action only caused them to fall. Snape raised an eyebrow at the teenagers tears. “Quite a reaction,” he mused angrily. “There are that many lies that I would uncover Harry James? How very disappointing!” Harry cringed at the tone, shaking his head as he closed his eyes. "No there's not!" His voice rose slightly, easily matching Snape's as he opened his eyes once more.
“Don’t you DARE take that tone with me!” Snape hissed. “You are in enough trouble as it is!” Harry stared at the man in a brief moment of defiance, his eyes searching his guardian's before they lowered. "Sorry.." He uttered, his shoulders slouching down. “Go over to the desk and retrieve the paddle this instant!” Snape barked. “That backside of yours clearly needs to be reminded of what lying results in!” "No it doesn't!" There was no helping the raise in his own tone, once more matching Snape's. Snape took hold of his child, spinning him around so that he was facing the direction of the desk. His left hand kept a firm grip on Harry as his right released its grip and cane down in an exceptionally hard smack across the jean clad rear end. “Go!” Snape’s left hand released its grip as well. “Do not make me repeat myself again young man.” Harry choked on a sob as he took a step forward, glaring towards the desk. "Stop yelling at me.." He muttered, sniffing loudly as he started towards the desk. Snape felt a pang of guilt at his actions but he quickly forced them aside. “If you behaved yourself I wouldn’t have to yell would I?” He questioned. Harry didn't respond as he went to the desk, sniffing loudly as he opened the drawer and withdrew the item. He stared at it as he started to walk back to the man. "Then don't get mad if I yell back.." “That cheek of yours is about to earn you a second trip over my knee before you go to bed this evening,” Snape threatened in a promising tone. “In fact perhaps that is not such a bad idea. It could certainly serve as a reminder for you to behave yourself!” Harry paused a few steps away from the man at those words, blinking as several tears fell. "No.." He whispered softly, moving to stand in front of his guardian once more. Snape held his hand out for the paddle. “You are certainly not proving to me that it is not needed.” “Nothing I say will change your mind..” He whispered softly, his eyes falling to Snape’s knee as he placed the paddle in the man’s hand. “Change my mind about what?” Snape leaned over placing the item on the table beside him. “Paddling your disobedient backside?” Harry slowly nodded, taking in a breath as he stared back up at the man. “I’m sorry..” He whispered, rubbing at his eyes once more. Snape reached out unsnapping the boy’s jeans. “Being sorry does not change your misbehavior. Does it?” “No..” He whispered softly, shaking his head. Harry closed his eyes tightly. “It should mean something though..” “I don’t recall saying that it did not.” Snape reached out a finger and tapped the boy’s chin firmly. “What is your backside about to be paddled for young man?” "Don't." Harry couldn't help but start to back up. "I'm sorry for lying, I'm sorry I haven't been doing my work. But I *promise* it'll all be done tonight! And I won't lie again." Snape reached out and easily grabbed hold of the child. “Stop this nonsense at once! You are absolutely going over my knee! I intend to see to it that you are unable to sit without discomfort when we are done here!” Snape began moving the child to his side as he spoke the last words. Tears burned the teen’s eyes, welling up and falling as he was pulled to the side. “I was gunna tell you today..” He offered softly. “I’m sure that you were.” Snape nodded as he reached out and lowered his child’s jeans. “Perhaps after this time you will learn that lying will only result in your nursing a blistered backside.” Harry's shoulders shook with soft sobs, shaking his head slowly. "Sorry.." He whispered softly once more. Snape didn’t respond instead taking a hold on Harry and guiding him over his lap. Once Harry was in position, Snape hooked his fingers into the boy’s shorts and peeled them down as well. His left hand wrapped firmly around the child, holding him in place before he raised his right hand and landed a hard stinging swat to his target. A second later he landed two more stinging swats before he started spanking in earnest, being sure to cover every inch of his target. As every time before then, Harry's right
hand grabbed a handful of Snape's pant leg as he was guided over. His left hand rested on the floor while his face nestled into the crook of that arm. His back tensed as the first smack landed, his tears dampening his sleeve as sobs shook his frame. His bum was already on fire, legs raising in an desperate attempt to block anymore swats. Snape paused for all of a moment when Harry raised his leg. Just long enough to land a particularly hard smack to the back of Harry’s right thigh. “Put that leg down young man,” Snape demanded as his hand moved back to assulting the small backside. Harry yelped at the smack, forcing his legs to lower back down. He rubbed his face into his sleeve, simply sobbing harder. His shoulders heaved as he finally choked out a soft, "Stooop." Snape’s hand stopped falling at the whine as he leaned over and picked up the paddle. “Oh no young man. I have barely even started!” Snape raised the paddle and brought it down on the small red backside. “I certainly hope that your lying was well worth it!” Harry's grip tightened on the man's pant leg, his legs kicking up once more as the paddle was brought down smartly. He yelped once more, releasing his grip to reach the hand back in an attempt to cover his rear. "I-I'm SORRY!" He sobbed. Snape raised an eyebrow at the hand. He stopped, the paddling traveling down to firmly tap the back of the boy’s thigh. “Move that hand,” Snape warned. It took the teen a moment to obey, slowly lowering the hand back down to grip back at the man. His shoulders shook with his sobs, coughing into his arm as he took in a breath. “Very good,” Snape nodded as he tapped Harry’s backside firmly with the paddle. “Now tell me Harry what happens when you lie?” He raised the paddle bringing it down once on each side of the boy’s rear end. "Th-thiiiis!" Harry sobbed loudly into his arm, shifting in clear discomfort and pain. “When do you plan on lying again?” Snape let the paddle fall twice more, once on each side. "N-never!" The teen tightened his grip on the man, his sobs echoing off the walls as he took in a stuttering breath. “When is that schoolwork of yours going to get completed?” The paddle fell once more on each side of the child’s bum. "Toniiight!" Harry whined, attempting to shift his bum away from the man's target. “It had better Harry James! I promise you if even one assignment is late this week you will go right back over my knee. Is that understood?” Snape let the paddle fall twice more. Harry only nodded before he yelped at the smacks. "Y-yes!" He sobbed , several tears falling from his cheeks and landing on the floor below. “Do you think that you can behave yourself or does this spanking need to continue?” Snape landed a hard smack to Harry’s left sit spot. "I-I'll be good.." Harry was sure he wouldn't be sitting all night, his bottom felt on fire! Snape raised the paddle once more, letting it fall on the child’s right sit spot before he placed the paddle back on the table beside him. His left arm loosened its grip on the boy before his right hand moved to gently rub Harry’s back. A moment later, he paused in his actions, reaching down and pulling the boy’s shorts back up to their rightful spot. Harry tensed as the clothing was rightened, his body shaking with his sobs. The teen pushed himself up from the man's lap, pulling his jeans back up with a hiss. He took a half step back, raising his hand and rubbing at his eyes with his wrists. The tears had no end in sight and he gave up on trying to wipe them away. Snape raised a hand, gesturing to the child to take the step and a half to him. Tears fell freely, the teen taking in several sharp breaths as he stepped back up to the man. The moment that Harry was close enough Snape wrapped his arms tightly around the boy. “Take a nice deep breath,” he instructed, his tone now gentle. Harry took in a deep breath as instructed, attempting to hold it in for a moment before a hard sob broke past his lips. His arms wrapped around the man, head bowing down as he continued to take in several deep
breathes. Snape moved the child, gently sitting him on his lap before his right hand moved to rub his back. “Several more deep breaths,” he instructed softly. “Come now, try and calm down.” Harry whined as he was pulled down, shifting so his bottom wasn't resting on Snape's leg. He moved his arms to wrap around the man's middle, closing his eyes. His shoulders hitched as he took in another breath, this time able to slowly release it. “Okay?” Snape questioned gently as he continued to rub the boy’s back. He could feel his shirt beginning to dampen from the child’s tears as he was hit with a sharp pang of guilt at how hard he had just been on his child. Harry shifted his face away from the now damp spot, bowing his head to the top of his head rested against the man's chest. He made no reply, his shoulders shaking as he continued to catch his breath slowly. Snape hummed softly as his left arm moved to pull his child closer to him. His arm remained wrapped around Harry’s middle. “Are you okay?” He tried once more. Harry shook his head slightly against the man's chest. Of course he wasn't okay! Not right then at least. He was miserable and his bum was in the worst pain it had been in for some time. His hold tightened for a minute before he released his left hand, moving it to rub at the tear stains on his cheeks. Still, his tears continued to fall, though his sobs had started to lessen. Harry glanced up at the man, his eyes red and swollen from his crying. "Sorry.." He whispered softly. Snape nodded in reply. “I want you to understand something.” His tone remained gentle. “If you are going to continue going to your godfathers as often as you have been then I need to trust that you are behaving there and doing what you are supposed to be doing.” Harry nodded as Snape spoke, once more rubbing at his eyes and cheeks. "I w-will.." His breath hitched as he spoke, sniffing. Snape nodded once more as he rested his chin on the top of Harry’s head. “I don’t want to have to repeat this lesson Harry.” His right hand softly rubbed the boy’s back once more. “I did not enjoy that in the least.” Harry shook his head at the words, closing his eyes tightly as a quieter sob passed his lips. Snape leaned back in his chair, bringing Harry with him and adjusting him slightly on his lap. “What is going on in that mind of yours? Hmm?” Harry twisted himself in the man's lap so he was more resting on his stomach against the man's front. "I'm just s-sorry.." His breath hitched once more as he spoke, taking in another calming breath. “I forgive you.” Snape’s voice was soft and gentle. “However I meant what I said, you have a long night of schoolwork ahead of you.” The teen nodded, rubbing his face against Snape's cloak with a wince. "I-I know." “You can stay where you are and continue to calm down and rest a bit first,” Snape decided as his hand rested on the small of Harry’s back. "No.. I-I'll go get e-everything.." Harry rubbed his eyes once more, starting to push himself up carefully. “I am allowing you twenty minutes to calm yourself down. You are sure you don’t want to take advantage of that?” Snape questioned gently. Harry nodded, pushing himself up fully with a wince. He didn't wait for his guardian to say anything more, moving across the parlor and starting up the stairs to both gather his school items and change into his pajamas. Snape nearly insisted that his child take his advice and rest but he thought better of it. Harry had a lot to catch up on and if he was so determined to start now, Snape was not going to stop him. As Harry disappeared up the stairs the man stood and picked up the paddle. He walked across the living room and returned it to the desk drawer. He had quite a few papers to grade that evening and instantly decided that he would work in the kitchen and keep his child company. He picked up the large stack of them, carrying them out of the room. A moment later he sat down at the kitchen table and began reading the first essay. It took the teen near ten minutes to come back downstairs, holding his
school bag in hand as he entered the kitchen. He took a seat next to his guardian, visibly wincing as he did so. Harry swallowed heavily as he leaned over to take out his charms book, opening it to where he had been working previously. Sniffing, he laid his parchment back out before he silently started to work. Snape watched the boy out of the corner of his eye for several long moments before he went back to his grading. His eyes scanned the words as he tried to concentrate on his work. It was proving to be near impossible however. It wasn’t like Harry to sit with him for such a short time after his punishment. It wasn’t like him to refuse to rest afterwards either. Harry rested his head in his left hand as he scanned his book. He wanted everything done and over. He wanted the day over all together. A few tears escaped and he quickly wiped them away with his thumb. Snape’s felt his heart hurt as he caught the child brushing his stray tears away. He set down his quill, sitting up properly, his eyes fixed on his child. “Why the tears, Harry?” He took extra care to make sure his voice was as gentle as it could possibly be. Harry placed his own quill down carefully, resting his forehead within both hands. "I mucked up e-everything.." He whispered. "I g-gotta tell Sirius too." “You made a mistake and you were thoroughly punished for it. I am sure that your godfather will forgive you.” Snape waved a hand causing a box of tissues to appear in front of Harry. Lowering his hands, Harry took a tissue and rubbed his eyes with it. "He'll be upset.." He whispered softly. "And Remus was angry.. and you too." Snape hummed softly at the words before leaning forward. He rested his elbows on the table as he put his face closer to his child’s. “You lied to us Harry. Did you honestly think that we would not be cross when we found out?” Harry lowered his hands down, placing the tissue next to his book as he rested his head back in his left hand. He looked over at his guardian as the man spoke, his eyes still red from his tears. "No." “I have forgiven you and if I know Remus at all, he has as well.” Snape reached a hand out placing it on top of his son’s. “It will all be okay.” Harry slowly nodded at the words, keeping his hand under his guardian's for a few moments before he slowly pulled it away. He simply picked up his quill, attempting to focus back on his school work. “What is it that you have to do for Charms this week?” Snape questioned as he moved his hand back, picking up his quill once more. "Two feet on the banishing charm, like when it would be useful and all- and also start reading the chapter about 'Scourgify'." Harry rubbed under his eyes, shifting in his seat with a wince. Snape hummed softly forcing himself to ignore the wince. “How much of it have you completed so far?” "Like.. half a foot.." He admitted softly. "Then I gotta do three feet on the properties of bubotuber pus for Herbology. And start reading about the Goblin wars."
Snape considered the list of work the boy still had to complete. He knew his rear end had to be aching in the hard kitchen chair. The child also must have been tired from all his tears. He still needed to eat dinner as well. “Finish your Charms work and we will take a break for dinner.” “I’m not that hungry.” Harry shook his head as he continued to write, sniffing softly. “I just want to finish everything..” “What if I said that I would allow you to stop after Charms and work on the rest tomorrow?” Snape gave the boy a questioning glance. Harry paused, leaning back to rub at his left eye roughly. He gave the man a skeptical look. Not even half an hour ago, he was sworn to finish it all tonight. “But..” He looked back down at the work he had done so far, suddenly feel exhausted and also the pain hadn’t lessened at all. “Your rear end cant be comfortable in that chair. I also know you well enough to know that you are likely exhausted from your tears.” Snape’s voice was soft as he spoke. “Are my assumptions correct?” Harry closed his eyes, slowly nodding with a soft “Yeah..” “Being exhausted and in pain is not going to make for your work to be done properly.” Snape sighed softly. “My schedule is quite light tomorrow. I think perhaps I will teach my morning class at nine and then spend the rest of the day home with you.” He paused as he looked over to he child. “Finish Charms so that we can eat some supper and then I think you and I will have a bit of a talk out in the parlor.” Harry couldn’t help but feel relieved and also worried. He loved that Snape was going to stay, mostly, home with him. But in turn, he was worried about their talk. “About what?” He casted the man a glance, looking back down to his book. “You aren’t in any trouble, I promise you.” Snape turned his attention back to the papers that he was grading. “Finish your Charms work and think about what you would like for dinner.” "Shepherd pie." Came the teen's instant reply as he continued to work. He glanced up at Snape, giving a small grin. "It's been awhile since I've had that." “I believe that can be arranged,” Snape nodded. “Now finish your essay please.” He made several check marks on the essay that he was grading before setting it in his completed pile and moving on to the next one. Silence fell over the pair for nearly half an hour, Harry finally closing his book and pushing it away. He placed the parchment on top of it carefully. "Done." He murmured, resting his cheek back in his hand as he looked over at the man. Snape finished writing a few comments on the essay he was grading before he looked up at his child. He held a hand out. “Let me see your essay please.” He reached for it, carefully passing it over to the man. Snape began reading the essay, stopping after a moment to look up at his child. “Put your books away.” As the words left his mouth his eyes lowered once more as he continued reading. A moment later he held the essay out for Harry to take back. “Very good,” he nodded. “Very good indeed.” Harry did as he was asked, placing his bag back down and taking the essay with a small grin. "Thanks." He rolled it up and placed the parchment on top of his bag. Snape waved a hand causing the essays that he was working on to relocate themselves back to his desk in the parlor. A moment later he tapped the table causing their dinner of shepherds pie to appear. “Eat and then you have my word that we will relocate to the parlor so you can sit more comfortably.” Harry shifted, nodding at the words. He winced, rubbing under his right eye. The skin was still red and sore, but he lowered his hand back down to pick up his fork. "Thanks.." He muttered softly, taking a bite. “There is no need to thank me.” Snape picked up his own fork eating a bite. After he swallowed he opened his mouth once more. “I should not have told you that you had to complete all your work tonight. I apologize for that.” "I wanted to try." Harry sighed, taking several more bites before taking a long sip of water. “I know.” Snape nodded after swallowing
another bite of his meal. “I respect that but as I said, given your current state, it will not make for good work.” Snape held up a hand before Harry could reply. “Not that your essay was not good because it was but an hour or so from now you will be fighting to keep your eyes open.” Harry nodded, rubbing his left eye as he continued to eat in silence once more. It felt like the weight of the world had been lifted from his shoulders. He didn’t have to stress about getting everything done that night. Snape finished his meal in silence tapping the table once causing his plate to vanish when he was done. He looked over to Harry’s plate pleaded to see that despite his child claiming that he wasn’t hungry he had eaten more than half of his dinner so far. Harry took a few more bites before he pushed his plate away slowly and looked up to his guardian. Without any prompting, the teen stood up with a sigh. The pain his bum was in was still terrible, and being able to stand did help just slightly. Snape tapped the table once more causing Harry’s plate to vanish as well. A moment later the man stood. He walked over to Harry placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. He gave it a light squeeze as he cleared his throat. “Feed Bane his dinner and then come see me in the parlor.” Harry watched the man, nodding as he moved over to Bane’s dish. The dog stood up from his bed, tail wagging as he moved over to Harry and waited patiently for his food. Harry glanced over his shoulder to see Snape had already stepped into the parlor. With a slightly grin, Harry filled his pet’s food dish and reached into the dog’s treat jar. “Here boy..” Bane sniffed the treat before he carefully took it, eating it first before he moved to his food. Harry sighed, stepping around Bane and moving into the parlor. Snape looked up from his spot in his armchair as his son walked into the room. “Did you want to come sit with me or would you prefer to sit on the couch?” Harry stepped over to his guardian, suddenly feeling like a child. He paused, biting his lip. “I’m not too old?” He knew he had been sitting with his guardian several times this year, but he couldn’t help but wonder if Snape thought he shouldn’t be.. “Perhaps,” Snape nodded as he reached out and took a gentle hold of the boy’s hand pulling him the last two steps to him. “However I don’t particularly care.” Harry sighed as he sat on the man’s leg before he adjusted himself to lie down across his lap. He rested his head on Snape’s shoulder, stretching his legs out to rest across the arm of the chair. Snape half grinned at the action before he looked down at his child. “I think we need to have a bit of a talk about your schoolwork.” “I’ll get it all done..” Harry sighed, nestling his head into the man’s cloak. “I know that you will.” Snape nodded. “As I said I intend to come home before lunch tomorrow and spend the better part of the day seeing that it is completed. I was referring to future schoolwork. I think perhaps I have been wrong in allowing you to do it as you please throughout the week. I think that you need more structure.” Harry took in a breath at the words, pressing his head further against the man. “I don’t need like.. a schedule. I’ll get better though.” “I disagree,” Snape said softly. “I think that you absolutely need a schedule of sorts. At the very least I think my telling you which classes I expect completed each day would be helpful. I also intend to start checking your work every evening.” Harry couldn’t help the “Uugh..” that passed his lips, shifting into a more comfortable position. “I swear I’ll get better, Snape.” Snape could not help but raise an eyebrow at the teenagers sound of annoyance. “I am sure you could on your own as well but we are going to try my way first. I will write up a daily schedule for you. You can start following it next week.” Snape’s hand moved to rest on Harry’s knee. “Fine..” He uttered softly, closing his eyes after a moment. “Though I don’t need it.” “I’m sure you don’t however I would like to see if it is helpful at all. As I
said I will also be checking your work nightly,” Snape’s hand gently tapped the boy’s knee. “Don’t even think about falling asleep on me. You are heading up to bed momentarily.” Harry opened his eyes at the words, raising he left hand to rub at his eyes. “Sorry.” He whispered, instead keeping his gaze on his knees. He would of liked to stay where he was. But after such a punishment, the teen felt all argument leave him. Snape hummed softly. “I will allow the subject to be your choice but tomorrow morning when I return home from Hogwarts I expect at least one subject completed.” Harry nodded at the words, releasing a slow breath. “Okay.” He agreed. That could be done, easily as well. “Okay.” Snape nodded as well. “Is there anything you wish to discuss before you head up to bed?” Harry looked ready to say something, falling silent for several moments before he shook his head. “No..” He started to carefully push himself up from the man’s lap. Snape raised an eyebrow at the boy’s actions. “Honestly, Harry you act as though I do not know you at all. What is it that you were just about to say? Hmm?” “I just wanted to stay down here.” He stood, looking down as Bane entered the room. Harry smiled softly, leaning to rub at the dog’s ear. Snape hummed softly at the request. “Has Bane been outside recently?” “Was a couple of hours ago..” Harry remained in his spot, standing up straight as Bane moved over to his guardian. “Take him out and allow me time to consider your request. I am not sure that after your behavior you deserve to be allowed to sleep down here tonight.” Harry’s gaze remained down at the words, gently patting his leg. “C'mon boy..” He whispered softly, walking towards the back door with Bane trotting behind him. Opening the door, Bane trotted out happily as Harry leaned against the door. Snape raised an eyebrow as he watched his child leave the room. He nearly rolled his eyes at his dramatics. As if not being permitted to sleep on the couch would just destroy his entire night. Snape picked up the book that was sitting on his side table, opening to where he had left off as he waited for his child to return. After several minutes, Harry re-emerged into the parlor. Bane remained in the kitchen, going to his water bowl. Snape’s eyes remained on his book as he cleared his throat. “Go get your pillow and blanket.” A faint smile crossed the teen’s lips at that, taking a step backward before he went up the stairs. It didn’t take long for the teen to come back down, swallowing as he winced in pain. He placed his pillow down at the edge of the couch, tossing his blanket down beside he curled under it and laid on his side. Harry faced his guardian, his arm tucking under his pillow. “Thanks..” Snape nodded his eyes staying on his book as he finished the last sentence of the chapter he was reading. A moment later he closed his book, looking over to his child. “Okay?” He questioned softly. Harry nodded slightly, nestling his cheek against his pillow with a small smile. “Yeah..” He whispered, eyes closing after a moment. “‘M okay..” Snape hummed softly with a curious raised eyebrow. “That wince a moment ago told a different story.” Harry wrapped his arm tightly around his pillow. “Just hurts..” He whispered, rolling to lay more on his stomach. Snape cleared his throat slightly as he stood. “It must be hurting less by this point.” He moved across the room, taking hold of Harry’s blanket and pulling it up over his shoulder. “Hardly..” He muttered, using his free hand to hold onto the blanket and tuck it under his chin. Snape hummed softly as he sat on the edge of the couch. His hand moved, resting softly on the small of Harry’s back. “I  sure that by the morning it will be long forgotten.” Harry kept his eyes closed as he felt the couch dip slightly. “Hope so..” He whispered, sleep instantly pulling at the teen’s mind. Snape’s hand moved to begin rubbing the teenager’s back softly. “I am certain it will be.”
