Cherie Cherie Cherie 🥺🥺 may I please request a Keegan x Assassin reader, enemies to lovers trope? It’s a huge brainrot rn and I don’t have a good way with words like you do 🥹

I was imagining like the reader receiving a request to assassinate Keegan because he is a brilliant sniper and she/he/they try to shimmy into his civilian life and once she gains his trust (or she believes that he trusted her enough) she orchestrates some ‘accidents’ but none of them worked. In the end she had to try and kill him during one of his mission and it can end in angst or wholesome whichever you please!! She definitely will grow a soft spot towards him during the process of getting to know him like (who doesn’t like Keegan the man’s so caring)😭😭

You can even like switch out some parts if you feel like they don’t make sense hehe. Thanks so much for writing and posting argh what would I do without you 😭😭💖💖

chant my name three times and i'll appear (jk XD) and thank YOU for these ideas, seriously. i rewrote this so many times omg

Keegan x Assassin!Reader (angst)

The flash of lobelia blue eyes was evident against the contrast of austere grey wall. You had found your target. "Keegan P. Russ" You recalled the name written at the top of the folder given to you. The information had been vague and rendered useless before shoving it into the paper shredder.

You're young, stupid and willing to do anything for money. That's how you ended up here and how you were treated. An expendable kid who would do anything for money. But you had reached dire circumstances. It's such a secret you keep.

Having already found out where he lived, sort-of figured out his routine while off-duty and the people he associated with, which weren't many to begin with, all you had to do was devise a plan. His information was not easy to collect as this was the first time he'd taken an interval in a long time. How you were ever supposed to take out a skilled soldier, a sniper at that too, you had no clue. This was certainly a first, your previous tasks involved less skilled targets; gang members, drug dealers and the occasional unfortunate passerby who happened to be there at the wrong moment and time.

Keegan with his savings bought a house, an attempt at a normal civilian life. You sought out a weakness, an entry, a quiet way to take him out. But every time you searched for him, you always found his eyes first. Your breath caught in your chest when you thought they'd found yours. Shady blue pools. Observing wouldn't do anything. The only way to find a weakness in him was to get closer.

Keegan who had no idea what to do with himself. Rest was all he wanted, but it didn't take long before he was restless. He found it within himself a growing emptiness; an uncomfortable silence. A stillness he always said was a luxury on base. Shouldn't he be thankful to be getting rest now? After all, to sulk all your primary physical needs like sleep and eating must be met before you can worry about anything else.

For a solid month you played it safe until one night you grew frustrated and through the torrential rain you walked up his steps. Keegan had been downing another bottle when he heard your knock. He blinked seeing you drenched, hair matted and sticking to the sides of your face, clothes heavy with rainwater and looking out of breath. Holding the door open, he must've stood there blinking for a moment deciphering whether you were real or he'd been imagining. Finally, snapping out of his daze he cleared his throat when you started speaking, your voice low, feigning timidity.

"I'm, sorry I've come to you in this...this, well my car broke down and, I... I haven't a place to stay."

He squinted, balancing himself by placing a hand on the door and leaning upon it. Drinking whilst mindlessly staring into the rain hadn't been a good idea.

"Right..." He said in a low voice, rather to himself more than to you. He stood straight again, focusing onto your face. "Want to come in?" He offered.

"Oh, I wouldn't want to intrude..."

"You look cold." He pointed out, leaning into your face.

When he leaned in you caught a whiff of alcohol in his breath. You considered apologizing and backing out, it'd look weird but there was a chance he wouldn't remember all the details or even question your actions. But you had already come and you were shivering.

"Well, if you insist." And he moved to let you enter. Upon entering the first thing you felt was that the air didn't change. Did he not have his heater on? Second thing you noticed when you walked further in were the amount of beer bottles on the living room floor by the couch.

"Shit, let me clean this mess up." He moved to collect the bottles from the floor but stopped shortly when you had reached down and picked up an unopened bottle. Popping open the bottle you brought it to your lips and took a long drink. He stood motionless watching you down it halfway before your lips parted from it. You hadn't had a drink in a while and you certainly missed the burn-like sensation the first sip brought.

"You get the good beer." You said, smiling a little to him. He snickered and motioned for you to sit on the couch. "I'll go turn on the heater. Make yourself comfortable."

You sat, contemplating getting the job done now. Keegan's defenses were low but he wasn't drunk either, he just looked tipsy.

Too soon, you thought.

You assumed he wouldn't remember most of that night but, on the contrary, what was most memorable for him was how refreshing it was to bask in your company. However simple and mundane was the evening it was the most at peace and content he'd ever been in a long time.

You drank together once a week on evenings, sometimes going out to eat, visiting bars or walking aimlessly through the streets. Keegan wouldn't particularly say you were friends, less lovers. The line was blurry but it was something best not labeled nor defined. You were thankful for this, it made your job easier. Detachment was something you ought to do soon, and this thought became pertinent in your mind. During those moments when you'd pause, observing his relaxed form, making your hand hesitate, twirling the knife in your palm and testing the pointy tip with your finger. How much would you even get paid to do this?

"I'm going away." He said one day.

"What do you mean?" Panic surged through your veins.

"I'm in the military. Got called to go back." A pause and a stretch of uncomfortable silence. "But I'll come back."

"When?"

His shoulders slouch. The only answer is silence. “I don’t know.” He stared up at you through his lashes as you stood up. He was dangerous when he looked at you like that.

You left without a word, before you could crack in front of him. His words had pierced through you reminding you of a life you don't have access to. How easy it was to forget your priorities, a simple thing you had with him. How he made you feel on top of the world; free of problems, of the need to survive. But you're not free to make those decisions, and until he's gone you can never find peace.

And Keegan had never felt the frightening thrill of a push and pull game that very much felt like Russian roulette. Never had he been afraid to plunge headfirst into reality, but this... this was the deadliest of games.

A hole in your heart still harbored a question; just what answer he'd give you might break it. And you came to this cruel, shattered reality as you observed Keegan focus on his sniper scope. His spotter unaware of you as you pulled the trigger.

"Maybe if the circumstances had been different." You whispered.

Coffee and Communism ~ Aleks and Eileen

{Author's Note} A little gift for @alypink, who has been so incredibly supportive these last few weeks and I'm immensely thankful to her for it❤️ sorry this took longer to finish than I planned but I hope you enjoy it🫶🏻 Also, I don't know if the members of MACV-SOG slept in the safe house during the events of the game or if they stayed at a hotel and then drove to the safe house every day. I've seen both interpretations and tried to keep it rather vague in this story lol

Aleks belongs to @alypink

Eileen belongs to me!

~ ~ ~

The morning was crisp and clear, with mist still clinging to the shadowy parts of the landscape. Aleks always made time to watch the sun peek over the horizon, fascinated by the way the light burned away the night's dampness. It was a slow yet beautiful process and helped her prepare for the day ahead.

Eileen approached with a pair of coffee mugs, steam drifting from the tops of both. She handed one to Aleks, who took it eagerly and wrapped her hands around the ceramic to take advantage of its warmth.

"I've enjoyed Berlin more than I thought I would," Eileen murmured, blowing at the coffee in her hand in an attempt to cool it. "Makes me wish we were here for better reasons."

Aleks hummed her agreement. "Maybe one day, when all this is over, we can come back, though Russ doesn't seem thrilled with that idea."

"It'll never be over," Eileen said with a sigh. "Our work is never-ending."

Aleks didn't answer, her thoughts drifting to Adler. This whole thing with Bell had put him on edge as he tried to control every little detail that could go wrong. It was exactly his area of expertise and she was thankful he was in charge.

"Adler is calmer around you," Eileen noted suddenly, her gaze remaining fixed on the distant horizon. "I haven't seen him like that before."

Aleks felt her cheeks warm. "Really?"

The older woman turned to face her, features appearing softer in the warm light of the sunrise. "Really. It's a good change, one I didn't expect to see in him. Based on my previous evaluations, I wouldn't have predicted such a shift in behavior."

That statement made Aleks' heart flutter in her chest. "He's got goodness in him, he just buries it," she said. "He needs a bit of coaxing sometimes."

Eileen smiled. "Well, I'm glad you can do that for him. It's nice to see him more... normal."

"Now you're just being dramatic," Aleks said with a chuckle. "Thanks for the coffee, by the way."

Eileen took another sip and hummed contentedly. "Well, you know what they say: a coffee a day keeps the Communists away."

Aleks barked a laugh. "They most certainly do not! How did you come up with something like that?"

Eileen chortled, hiding her grin behind her mug. Aleks then rolled her eyes playfully and slipped through the back door after hearing the familiar rumble of Adler's car. She was preparing another cup of coffee for him just as he walked in.

"Mornin'," he muttered, his voice still thick with sleep as he joined her side. His sunglasses hid the shadows beneath his eyes, though he'd never admit just how exhausted he was, even to Aleks. He had gotten good at masking it.

"Morning, Russ," Aleks greeted and handed him his coffee with a gentle smile. "How'd you sleep?"

The man shrugged, more focused on how the drink warmed his insides and brought clarity to his fogged mind than anything else. He sighed and cracked the barest hint of a smile.

"Thanks, sweetheart." He pressed a kiss to her temple before meandering toward the evidence board, the set of his features hardening as he prepared for work.

"Bell's starting to remember," Adler said suddenly. Aleks snapped her head up at his words, knowing the significance they held in such a delicate situation as theirs.

"Does she remember Perseus?" she asked worriedly.

Adler shook his head. "No, but it's only a matter of time. If we can just finish this before she remembers who she was, we won't have a problem. All we need is for her to tell us what Perseus' plan is. We're so close."

Aleks set her hand between his shoulder blades. He didn't like when they showed affection at work but with no one else around, she took the chance.

"She'll tell us. I know she will."

"How can you be sure?"

"Because... she wants to do the right thing."

Adler scoffed at that. "She was Perseus' most loyal hound. The right thing to her would be turning traitor and taking all that she's learned back to him."

"That was before. You've made her something different. I only wish it had been through less horrific methods."

Adler merely grunted, unsure if he agreed or not. But there was truth to her words and he just hoped she was right.

Someone went through a bad breakup(romantic, familial, or platonic) and it took a hardship on you.

Pile 4 🧡

Are you guys okay? I'm getting a lot of anger from y'all. Some of you are upset that something hasn't worked out. Others are just mad at the state of the world and how it's going. I'm getting alot of pessimistic vibes here and I'm hearing that it's not gonna work for either of us babe. So right now I'm gonna need y'all to go into self-care or what I call Hermit-Magician mode and take care of yourself big time. You may be the healers we need for our future. So take a breather cause you definitely need it. I'm hearing burnout big burnout even if it's something you love. Too much of anything is never good for you. Take a cleansing shower. I'm getting protection and maybe some of yall have been cursed/hexed by someone else's negative energy/envy. Get that person out of your environment or life as soon as possible loves. They are not good for you and your friends seem to think so aswell. Be gentle with yourself because you're still sensitive. Take your time refilling your energy and your passions. You can't give pour out an empty cup darling. So as someone who's been there before, rest, rest, rest 👏🏽. It sucks but it'll be worth it. I've found that depending on which sign you are, it helps to go be around your element. For example, I'm a Scorpio (sun) and whenever I feel like this I usually shower, swim, or stand in the rain. It's like a little refresher. A reminder that I'm here for a reason and that reason is to exist and guide others to enjoy their experience aswell.

The key is also to a ship and that ship goes to another and several more and it works as a key in a very huge shift and the other ships have to launch first in order for that ship to work and it's not the ship that is run by Tommy f but it's necessary and that's going on too and we need the key to be used shortly and there's a big push for it.

It is the key seeing in Russ Ballard's voices and you can see it in the video and he had it in his jacket pocket and he ran off with it and they didn't shoot him because they might hit the key and it's all over for them shortly because they take the key and their granddaughter takes it back she's the girl with him and it is her husband and she killed him before taking it. And she does it in an odd movie and it's flashdance and you would not believe it unless you saw it and her son doesn't know who that is in flashdance. He's looking at Modelo it's not a cheap beer we are selling a beer real cheap and it's a new one and it used to beers being cheap to do and they drink it tastes pretty good so a lot of people are drinking it it's a huge seller and so cheap people can't help him they have to try it and it's going off the shelves quicker than they can stock it and we're sending it all over the world it is less Esther's it's made with carbon dioxide not nitrogen and it's better for you because the carbon dioxide you can burp out mostly it happens a lot with it and this is how it goes it's it's much much cheaper and safer and people drinking it all over cuz they don't get sick instantly.

This person is on the submarine that's in Korea and he takes the submarine from Jason and they make a keyhole that fits the key and stands for all this stuff but really it's to break the sheet away and he's a clone he's working for Tommy f and they set it up and then install the sub and I have to incident the crew goes back after it and the pixels the items inside and they hit it with a laser whole bunch of hits and it's calculated and it doesn't it and it breaks free coming up soon and it is after a few episodes of Miami vice in the movie and it's going to happen really really soon it's very important

-after he's removed from mayor Trump will be removed from every job he has in Florida and that's what they said they're trying to get him out of the sheriff office all the time I'm going to pull them out as May or mid-week and if his households are eliminated tonight he will not have enough people to hold it and that's what they're looking to do and dan is going down with him. It's only a matter of moments before they're both out and Trump's an a****** to him constantly says it's your fault and it's not really it's being an a****** right now so my son has to eat so we have to return but this huge news coming up too and he's going to charge the phone

Thor Freya

I'm glad all this is out and getting out it's Giant news and people really need to hear it this is what happens to you if you sit there and bother my husband like it doesn't matter you end up out of your house your job your money your businesses no matter how big you are and the guy is falling still doesn't get it that much he's kind of an a****** to everybody and he's being mean to the girl right now and right now the key is still with Lily who thinks she runs to her brother husbands in Korea that's how she loses it and it's during the movie James Bond Goldeneye

Hera

Olympus what terrific child she is when he's down she's up and he says I can't seem to do this but she is LOL but really he knows she's helping him

[silly-goofy-mood]

UC Brainrot part 3: doin' this again, yee yee

This one's about the characters as drinking-related stuff because I thought of the idea while kinda drunk after drinking one (1) cocktail

Arc 1/Arc 7

Sir Mister Person: overly confident and LOUD drunk, challenges every single person he sees to arm wrestle him

Hope Lovejoy: we've kinda seen it already but sad drunk, also a total lightweight who only needs like two glasses of wine to get drunk

Thavius: saw Sad Drunk™ Hope once and swore to never touch alcohol

Deb: only drinks fruity cocktails that don't taste like alcohol (and we love that for them)

SK-73: I… I don't even know how to answer that

Arc 2

Robyn Lovejoy: thinks she's very subtle when she's making a lot of noise, has probably tried to rob someone while she was drunk. Emphasis on tried.

Lyndell Sterling: rarely gets drunk because she needs to protect drunk Robyn. When she does drink, she's probably a loud drunk.

Sasha Rose: cries about how much she loves Mischka (what I'm calling "wife guy drunk")

Ash: kinda just acts like her normal self but wants to set even more stuff on fire

Arc 3

Annie Wintersummer: thinks she can handle alcohol. Cannot. Also falls asleep everywhere

Fey Moss: bursts into song at completely random moments, also seems like a loud drunk

Bombyx Mori: probably can't get drunk but if she could, would just end up chilling with Diarmad and having philosophical discussions.

Diarmad: chill drunk, discusses the meaning of life with Bombyx for several hours

Aldrum: it takes A LOT for him to get drunk, which Diarmad has taken as a personal challenge. Is 100% the mom of the group when everyone's drunk, takes care of all his friends. Very wholesome kind of drunk, cries about kittens a lot.

Arc 4

Aster: fistfights anyone who insults his sister. or just anyone, really.

Quinn: flirts with EVERYONE.

Russ: we've also seen it, but kinda sad drunk?

Ace: uhhhhhhhhhhhh

Arc 5

Omen Haxolpenny: has the wildest, most destructive ideas when he's drunk - watch out when Wren isn't there to stop him

Wren Forrester: very very talkative drunk

Sougle Wackamole: has gotten drunk with Omen once and woke up the next morning in another country.

Onyx Mayfell: doesn't drink.

Booker Sailship: canonically a lightweight, also forgets where/who he is when he's drunk (kinda like a certain thing that happened in the arc hehe)

Arc 6

Remeny Gratz: our resident Wine Aunt™ (who we've surprisingly never seen drunk lmao)! Also a "I just got the greatest idea!!" drunk, would've probably gotten 15 different tattoos while drunk were it not for Beryl

Beryl Hatebad: rarely drinks, but strikes me as the kind of person who'd just be "giddy drunk", like just giggling uncontrollably at every dumb thing that happens (idek why, it's honestly just funny) - tried to out-drink Remeny once and almost died.

Lottie Leremy: drinks once a year and is tipsy after one cocktail (literally just me lmao)

Kipp Tupper: doesn't drink, just sits in a corner and gets high on dreamlily

Salas: sad drunk (obviously)

Kix: is a robot so can't drink, but seems like they'd tell you their entire life story when they're drunk

Arc 8

Sybilla Eirik: probably doesn't drink either

Helga Hatebad: forgets how strong she is and breaks tables. Oops.

Penny Lovejoy: somehow even meaner???

Nephila Mori: just picture Gay Panic Nephila™ from episode 8, but for several hours

Sir Up Ton: forgets he usually communicates thelepatically with his sword and just starts openly talking to it in public

Cosmos and Cauldrons - Russell Adler X Reader

Adler wants to take the reader to a Halloween party for the spooky season. But, what happens when it gets everything changes?

TW: Strong language, adult themes.

Waking up, you laid in bed for just a bit longer. The blaring sound of your alarm clock made you want to chuck it off the Grand Canyon. But, you needed to get up and get around. You had a pretty important meeting at the warehouse with everyone.

You slowly got out of bed, and went over to your window. You pulled back the thick, black curtains and opened it. It seemed like the season changed overnight like it was something magical!

It was currently October 15th. The trees had a gorgeous look to them, and the leaves painted the ground with swirls of reds, yellows, orange, and brown.

Your favorite thing was to sit on your back porch swing and watch as the wind made the trees dance and sway gently.

The decorations of witches, ghouls, pumpkins, and other creepy things lined the houses. Your house was always the best decorated though. You always took decorating for Halloween very seriously, and close to heart.

You smiled at the thoughts of this holiday, and you went over to get dressed in your bathroom. You were going to be late if you didn't now hurry up. So, you quickly got dressed in something nice and fixed your hair.

After you were pleased with the look, you hopped in the car and made the 10-minute drive to HQ. The drive was gorgeous, you got to enjoy the fall air with your windows down the whole way.

The leaves seemed to dance with a mysterious figure as you passed them. They whipped and spun around, it was truly magical. You completely got lost in the beauty of nature.

So lost, that you almost missed your turn. But you came back right on time and made the turn. You drove down into the parking lot and pulled right next to Adler. He was leaning against his trunk.

He always waited on you when it came down to meetings. He never liked going in alone, or honestly, with anybody else. You were the perfect person to him as a meeting buddy.

But to Adler, you were more than that. Over the years he did the one forbidden thing that his higher-ups always told him not to. And that things were falling for you.

He had been warned that it wasn't professional, and pretty much wasn't allowed. But he was getting to the point where he just didn't care anymore, it was getting harder and harder to hide the feelings he felt for you.

You stepped out of your car and followed in with the routine. You walked over to Adler and went in for the usual hug.

"Russ!!!" You called in a loving tone, wrapping your arms around his neck.

He chuckled and put his around your waist. He pulled you close for this hug, and rested his chin on your shoulder. You simply curled up around him and relaxed.

When you both pulled away, Adler adjusted his glasses and smiled down at you. This made you turn red as a tomato! You gripped your purse even tighter now after that.

"Did you have a good night, sweetheart?" Adler asked, taking a puff of his cigarette.

"I did actually. I finally finished painting my first guest bedroom, but I can't reach the rest. I'm vertically challenged as you say." You said with a laugh.

Adler let out a low laugh, putting his cigarette out.

"Why don't you let me come over and help you reach it? Since you did get the last round of drinks last weekend. It's the least I can do." He offered.

"Sure, I'd appreciate the help. But you are still buying next round!" You exclaimed.

Adler did a fake huff and held out his elbow as usual. He always escorted you in. You felt more comfortable and relaxed when you took his arm.

"Fine, I guess I'll buy this gorgeous woman a drink or two." He said jokingly.

You flashed him a dazzling smile and took his elbow. You both walked into the conference room and broke the hold. You didn't want to be scolded like a child by the higher-ups.

You sat down next to each other and waited for the main boss to step in and start the meeting. You talked to Adler about various things, ranging from cars, life, losing weight, gaining weight.

Adler tapped your arm as if he reminded you of something he forgot.

"Oh Y/N! I almost forgot. There is a Halloween party Halloween over at Sims's house. Would you wanna go with me? It'll be right up your alley! And a bonus, you get to go with me!" He smiled.

Your heart jumped 30 feet in the air. A Halloween party, with Russell Adler?? Fuck count you in!

"Adler yes! I'd love to. You know we have to match too.....I have a perfect idea!!!" You said with the biggest smile.

That's what Adler lived for, was making you smile so big. His heart melted for you, and nobody else. This is what he lived for.

The boss came in and the meeting started. So you both sat through and waited for it to be over.

Within an hour, they called the meeting and you all walked out. Adler patted your back the closer you both got to your cars. When you got there, you finally turned to talk to him before leaving.

"Y/N, I'm going to pick you up at 5 on Halloween. And, I'm going to be so nice and let you pick both of our costumes. Since you are the master at Halloween and Halloween goods." He smiled.

You tucked your hair behind your ear and smiled, looking down at the ground. You looked back up and saw he had taken his glasses off. His beautiful, ocean blue eyes left you in what felt like a trance.

You could feel his raw emotion and see into the windows of his soul with those beautiful eyes. It felt intense, and like a tidal wave of emotions, by the way, he stared down at you.

You snapped out of it and nodded.

"You got it, Russell. I'll make us look great, don't even worry about it." You smiled.

"Well, I guess I'll see you later then? I have some chores to finish around my house before dark." Adler said, opening his door.

"Yeah, I gotta make our costumes. I'll call you later though?"

He smiled at you.

"Of course."

You leaned in and kissed one part of his scarred cheek. You watched as he quickly became flushed. You simply smiled, nodded, and walked back to your car and got it.

You left Adler completely shocked and stunned in the very spot he stood. He was so taken back that he was still in the same spot, leaning against his open door.

You backed out and honked. You laughed when it brought him back to reality, and made him jump. He waved at you as you sped off.

*Timeskip to the day of the party*

It was now 4, and Adler pulled in. You were already fully decked out in the costume. You hoped Adler would like what you picked!

Your front door opened, and a breeze filled the room.

"It's just me! Are you dressed? Where is my costume?" He questioned.

"Right there on my couch. I'm staying hidden until you get changed. I want it to be a surprise!" You yelled, holding your prop rose while getting his wig and makeup ready.

"Alright, I like that. Now, what are we working with here?" He questioned, getting the outfit on.

"This seems goth, Y/N. I feel like I recognize this suit though, and the shoes." He said.

"Just let me know when you're ready. We still need to get your wig and makeup on." You said, using hairspray on his wig.

You heard a small laugh from the living room.

"Wow, you know how to make a woman feel." He joked.

"Okay, I'm dressed. Now come out here and let me see who the hell we are." He joked.

You stepped out into the living room, and his eyes almost fell out of the socket.

You stood tall with long black heels. The long, black hair wig framed your face with perfection. The black gown with the slit in the leg made you look good and powerful. The red rose is what set it all off.

It seemed that Adler couldn't take his eyes off you. His sunglasses had fallen to the floor at this point.

"Earth to Adler - hey. I still gotta put stuff on you! You look very handsome though." You said.

He came back and picked up his glasses. He slid them into his pocket and smiled. He followed you into the kitchen and sat down.

"Sorry, you took me off guard. You looked really good, Morticia." He said with a smile.

You applied his wig and a small amount of makeup.

"And you look great too, Gomez. Now, let's go. I don't wanna miss the party! I call shotgun!" You yelled, running out of the house.

You were at the party within the next hour. It was huge and well decorated. When you walked up with Adler to the door, Sims came out and the smile on his face grew like a tree.

"Did you two finally get together? It's about time!" Sims joked.

You both blushed. And into the party, you walked. It was loud, people shoulder to shoulder, and the room smelled of alcohol and bad choices.

Through the span of 4 hours, you danced with friends, danced a few times with Adler to your favorite songs, fixed his now fucked up wig, and drank some really good mixed alcohol.

Finally, you stepped outside to have some fresh air. Sims had a beautiful gazebo outside, so you went out there and relaxed back into the chair.

You watched the beautiful sky and the gorgeous full moon. You felt like you were bathing in its glory and light it had to offer.

"Hey, are you alright?" A voice from behind you asked.

You turned and saw it was Adler, and you went back to looking at the sky.

"Yeah, just needed some air. I'm getting buzzed and need a break." You said.

He took a seat next to you and got close. The silence was comfortable and relaxing. You leaned your head on his shoulder.

"Y/N, can I tell you something that might be obvious already?" He asked. He sounded nervous.

You nodded and got up to look directly at him. You locked eyes and never left.

"Y/N, for the past 15 years I've known you, I've always loved you. And tonight helped me realize how much...So I'm asking you to be my girl?" He said with confidence.

You smiled hard and took his hands.

"Of course Adler, I feel the same way. It has never changed." You said, smiling.

He smiled big too and caressed your cheek.

Before you both knew it, you were leaning in towards each other. When your lips touched, you felt sparks, little fireworks. Your head spun like a record. If you weren't sitting, you'd be falling.

After you both pulled away, he opened his arm and patted his chest. You curled right up to him and held on tight.

A gust of wind blew leaves and sparkles behind you, and a wolf howled in the distance. This was something you could get used to.

so I'm bi, and I asked out my crush. She got super angry, and called me a bunch of slurs and it hurts really bad. I've even broke my record of being clean from self harm in 3 weeks. Can I have the band cheer me up?

(I’m so sorry, dear! She’s horrible for doing such a thing to you! You didn’t deserve that. Oh I love you so much, honey. Please come talk to me if you need ANYTHING at all! ❤️)

2D: ~ You had been avoiding pretty much everyone for the past couple of days. You stayed in your room and cried until your eyes couldn’t give anymore tears. Your heart had been broken and stomped on by someone you thought you could trust. You sighed and rolled over to look at the wall. You looked up at the pictures you had hung. You focused on the one of you and 2D at the local carnival. His face had been painted to look like a lion and you were laughing at him trying to make a scary face. ~ You giggled to yourself and sat up. There was suddenly a knock at your door. “Come in!” You said from the bed. The door opened to reveal a very concerned 2D. “No one’s seen ya in a couple o’ days. Is everyfing alrigh’?” You sighed and looked at your hands. “I’ve just had a rough week…” 2D come over to sit next to you. “Wha’ happened?” You explained to 2D that you had finally worked up the courage to ask out your crush and how she completely crushed you and called you names. Tears threatened to fall again. You sniffled a bit and wrapped your arms around yourself. “Dat was bullshit! She had no righ’ ta do dat ta ya! Wha’ da fuck is her problem?!” You took a minute to think of a reply. You just shrugged. 2D shocked you by pulling you into a tight hug and kissing your cheek. “She was a fuckin’ liar. Ya aren’ any o’ dose things. Ya so much mor’. Don’ let her get ta ya.” You smiled at 2D and hugged him back. “Thanks. I really needed to hear something like that.” He giggled and rested his head on your shoulder. “No problem.”

Murdoc:~ Murdoc would’ve been suspicious of your behavior before confronting you about it. He would notice how you’re acting more depressed and haven’t had much of an appetite. He would invite you to go out but when you said no he would get even more suspicious about what had happened. Murdoc wouldn’t ask you directly about why you’re so sad. He finally spoke up when he cut you crying in your bedroom.~ “Love, what’s the matter?” You wiped your tears away and looked up at Murdoc. You hadn’t noticed him walk in. You stood up and smiled, “Oh it’s nothing to worry about.” Murdoc gave you a stern look and crossed his arms, “I smell bullshit.” He glared at you and you avoided eye contact. He sighed and walked over to you. Murdoc say you down on your bed and held your hands. “What’s got you so upset?” You still hadn’t looked at him. You looked around the room trying to avoid the situation. Murdoc gently touched your cheek. “You can talk to me.” You sighed and let your head fall onto his shoulder. “It’s a long story, but the short version is I put my heart on the line and it got crushed and ran over. To make things worse, she called me a bunch of vulgar names and made me feel like dog shit.” You felt him tense up. You looked up and saw that he had a very dangerous look in his eye. “Murdoc, don’t worry about this. Please.” He growled and then sighed. “You should never be treated like that. No one deserves to be treated like that. She shouldn’t of called you all those nasty things. I don’t know what’s eating her but she had no right to take it out on you. You were brave enough to tell her how you felt and she was a coward and smashed your heart into a million pieces. You’re too good for her. You need to forget about her and move on to someone else. I know it hurts, but it’ll all be better once you forget about her.” He gave you a soft smile and you hugged him. “I don’t know how I’d survive without you.” You said. Murdoc chuckled and hugged you back.

Noodle: ~ It’s hard to hide anything from Noodle. So when you started acting a bit more depressed she definitely noticed. Noodle didn’t say anything directly to your face because she didn’t want to trigger anything. She was careful to watch you over a course of a few days. She made sure you were eating and drinking. Noodle even invited you to watch a couple movies with her, but when you declined she decided to talk to you. When Noodle found you, you were in the kitchen staring into your mug of coffee. You didn’t notice her at first so you didn’t look up. Noodle stepped in front of you and took the mug from your hands.~ “What’s going on with you? You haven’t been yourself. And don’t try to say it’s nothing you know better than that.” Noodle voice was gentle but stern. You bit your lip and crossed your arms. “I’m sorry. I know I haven’t been acting like myself but I didn’t want to talk about it because I felt like I would just be a burden. I know you’re my friend it’s just hard to get over that feeling.” Noodle hugged you and pulled you over to the dining table. “Tell me what’s been bothering you.” You sighed and messed with your hands. “So there was this girl, and I had such strong feelings for her. I even thought I was in love with her at one point. It took me weeks to try and get the courage to ask her out. I kept getting scared and failed multiple times. When I was finally able to get it out I was so proud of myself, but she didn’t feel the same way. In fact, she seems so disgusted with me that she called me all these vulgar names and just kept cursing at me. It was horrific. I’m still kind of in shock that she would do something like that. I never thought she would do anything like that. I mean I don’t know if it was just me as a person or my sexual orientation or what. It’s just been eating me up these past few days.” Noodle looked shocked. “I can’t believe she would do that to you! You’re so sweet! How could anyone be so cruel? Even if you don’t feel the same way, you shouldn’t be an asshole about it!” She grabbed your hands and squeezed them. “You’re so much more than what all she said. You’re an angel. You’re such a kind person. You didn’t deserve any of that. That was so not fair to you. You were so brave to do that and she was such a bitch for doing that to you.” You nodded and smiled a bit. “Yeah, I’m trying not to think about it too much.” Noodle giggled and said, “You know what? We’re going out tonight! No exceptions! We’re going to get some food, dance, drink, meet some hotties!” You laughed and said, “Oh what the hell? Let’s do it!”

Russel: ~ Russel hated seeing you sad. He was very protective of you. So as soon as he noticed you being sad, he whipped up some of your favorite foods. When he tried to serve it to you and you turned it away, he set the food down and try to talk to you. “You’re not hungry?” You shook your head. “I’m sorry I just don’t have much of an appetite right now…” You turned away from Russel and tried to get up but he pulled you back down.~ “Talk to me, sweetheart.” You looked at him for a minute before speaking. “I just went through a pretty rough heartbreak. I mean I don’t know what I was expecting but I wasn’t expecting them to basically bully me and come after me.” Russel sighed and rubbed your arm. “You know, you’re still young. There’s a lot of idiots that are your age. No I don’t mean to sound like an old geezer, but a lot of people your age are very immature when it comes to this kind of thing. Yeah it sucked ass, but you can’t let it get to you. You’re so much better than that, you’re so strong. You’re too amazing to sit around and be sad about some immature bitch.” You giggled and smiled at Russel. “Thanks, Russ. That was sweet.” He smiled back at you and hugged you, “Anytime.”

Happy Birthday to me! I've been 24 for a whole 3 hours now (technically -1 hour cuz I think I was born at 4am) and so far so good. I mean, the lead up to midnight was really what set the stage, and considering the circumstances of my actual birthday this year Kenzie and I agreed to just count the general time frame as our birthday. We were supposed to get our tattoos Saturday, but Adam had to leave town on short notice so they were postponed til yesterday, Sunday. Which was all pretty cool, we still went and had breakfast, then I helped out with some transplanting of kenzies mom's garden to her grandparents garden, and finally we spent the evening hours at Nepco, soaking up sun and fresh air and talking about life. It was great, and much needed. I got some perspective back and a comfort I haven't felt in awhile. Sunday morning I lazed around the apartment with a toothache til I headed over by gramma, and waited on a time for our tat appointment. Family was gathered there, a small handful, and casual discussion of Uncle Russ's things and funeral was pretty much the only conversation. Kenzie texted me our appointment time was 4:30/4:45, so I left around 4 to go pick her up. We grabbed McDonald's and headed off, only to wait almost an hour for Adam to show up. We didn't ask questions, he was pretty intent on getting to work. Kenzie's skateboarding velociraptor turned out fantastic, even with the muddled color description we gave him, and my shark tooth just as great. I honestly don't think I've ever been so /genuinely/ ecstatic about a finished tattoo, he does such great work. I definitely need to have him work on my sleeve in the future. From there we hit Walmart, stopped in by Dan, and headed to the bar. There was a pleasant hum in the place, nowhere near even half full but not barren either. We chilled there with a few drinks and watched the lightning of a brewing storm creep from the horizon. It was nearly perfect, just around midnight it got so vibrant in the distance and lit up the layers of clouds that had gathered. Kenzie wasn't as thrilled, but even she agreed it was a good view. We took off for Perkins not long after, and unwound a bit more over good food. On the way to take kenzie home it started raining, then giant drops began pummeling the windshield, and all of a sudden it was hail. Small, and loud as hell, which rapidly turned into near ping pong ball sizes. We pulled off the road under the bare canopy of the trees. Not much help. The pounding of the ice on to roof and windshield made me physically cringe; I wouldn't be able to afford to replace the windshield or sunroof if they got damaged. I grabbed a hoodie and my floor mats and ducked outside to throw the mats over whatever glass I could, and quickly jumped inside. The hail stopped. Just like that. So I pulled the mats back inside and we took off on the final trek to nekoosa. There was plenty of silent lightning the rest of the drive, and on my drive home, but the storm itself had passed in those 5 to 10 minutes. Amazing. I'm home now, ready to shower and sleep so I can get up for the funeral. My birthday may not be the best this year, but it was definitely ushered in fantastically. I can easily say I haven't felt this at ease or, just ovetall, comfortable, in a long time. And it's so great.

Hello! Please may you write something bittersweet for Noodle and an s/o? Whatever you feel like, I'm just in the mood for something bittersweet

~ It took a lot to makeNoodle snap and when she did, it was terrifying. You stood there staring at heras she screamed at Murdoc. He had been pushing them to finish the album andNoodle had just had it with him. “I’M NOT LIKE YOUR FUCKING CYBORG, MURDOC! I’MAN ACTUAL HUMAN BEING WITH BASIC NEEDS! SO YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF AND THISALBUM BECAUSE I QUIT!” You all had gasped at her words. Murdoc even lookedscared. Russel walked over to her and tried to say something but she pushedpast him. You tried to step in front of her but she pushed you against the walland just left you there.

~ You were stunned. Younever thought Noodle would just quit the band like that. You decided to followher. When she started in front of her bedroom door, you moved to touch hershoulder but she smacked your hand away. “Noodle, what the hell? Why won’t youlet me help you? I don’t want you to be upset. You don’t have to suffer alone.”Noodle turned to face you, “I never asked for your help! I lived this longwithout you and I can live the rest of my life without you, too!” She spat. Youfelt your heart shatter. Tears started to roll down your cheeks and you backedaway. You looked down at the floor as you turned away from her. You stayedsilent as you walked down the garage where your car was parked. You got intoyour car and just drove. You had no idea where you were going but you continuedto drive.

~ After Noodle had calmeddown, she realized the mistake she had made. She jumped up and grabbed hercoat. She ran out of her bedroom door only to be stopped by Russel. “Oh? So nowyou’ve figured you were an asshole to y/n, huh?” He crossed his arms at her andshe yelled at him. “Russel, I don’t have time for your lectures! Help me findy/n!” He dropped his arms and sighed. “Where the hell do we ever start?” Noodlebegan to panic, “You don’t know where they are?!” Russel shook his head. “Noone knows where they went. They took their car and drove off after you dumpedthem.” Noodle started to cry, the one person who she had truly loved wassomewhere out in the world probably crying into someone else’s chest. “Russ,what have I done?” She fell to her knees and began to sob. Russel held herclose as she shook and cried. He wasn’t sure if you’d ever come back but hehoped for Noodle’s sake you did.

~ Noodle didn’t stopcrying for days. She spent her time cooped up in her room and looking out ofher window hoping that you’d come back to her. Russel would leave her food andwater but she’d only sip at the water. The food was left until it started tosmell then he would come to clean it up. Noodle spoke to no one, all of herfree time was spent in front of that window. The other band members couldn’tstand to see her like this. They had a secret meeting and discussed how to findyou. Murdoc offered to use his connections to locate you then they would go totalk to you.

~ It didn’t take long forMurdoc to find your location. Luckily for them, you were still in the city butyou were staying with a friend. Russel was sent to talk to you but you when yousaw him through the peephole, you refused to open the door. “Y/N, please openthe door. I need to talk to you about Noodle.” You tensed up from hearing hername. “She made her choice, Russel! I’m not going back just to have my heartbroken again!” You slid against the door, tears threatening to spill from youreyes. “Please! Noodle, a mess. She won’t eat, barely drinks, she just spendsher days looking out of the window waiting for you to come back to her. I knowshe made a mistake, and she does too, please forgive her. Noodle can’t survivewithout you. I don’t know how much longer she can live like this…” You felt badfor Noodle. You wanted to talk to her again. You truly missed her but you werescared for what could happen if she snapped again. “Russel, how can you knowthat something worse won’t happen next time?” You heard him sighed, “Y/N, I can’t.Neither can you nor Noodle. But that’s a part of being in a relationship, youhave to trust each other. Noodle will learn from her mistake, she’d never hurtyou like that again.”

~ Suddenly, a hand was onRussel’s shoulder. He jumped and turned around to see Noodle. He had to blink afew times to make sure his mind wasn’t playing tricks on him. “Noodle? How didyou find this address?” He asked. “Murdoc told me that you were here.” Shelooked like she’d been crying again. “You’re not well, you should let me handlethis.” Russel placed a hand on her shoulder but she brushed it off. “This is myproblem to fix. I did this, I need to make it right. But thank you.” Noodlesmiled at him and stepped up to the door. She knocked lightly before speaking, “Y/N,please just listen. I know what I said was awful and I didn’t mean any of it. Justthe stress was driving me crazy and…and I know that’s not an excuse fortreating you the way I did. But when I realized I may have lost you forever,nothing else mattered to me except having you back in my arms. I love you morethan anything in this world and I pushed you away. I don’t know if you’ll everforgive me, I don’t even know if I could forgive myself, but I just thought youshould know what’s been on my mind…”

~ Noodle sighed andrested her head on the door. She waited. She waited for a sound. But nothingcame. Noodle stared at the door and felt her heart drop. Had she lost youforever? Just as she turned to walk away, you had opened the door. Tears hadstained your face and your lips was quivering. “Noodle!” You jumped into herarms and sobbed. Noodle cried too. You loved her more than you could explain.Noodle held you so tightly, you had trouble breathing. Russel smiled at the twoof you and pointed towards the car. “We should head home so you two can getwashed up.” Noodle kissed you sweetly before taking your hand and walking youto the car. On the drive home, she held you the entire time. Noodle whisperedabout how sorry she was and how much she loved you. Everything was back tonormal and you had your Noodle back.
