#I'm already getting frustrated about it let's gooo

[mangywayway]

"The false Prometheus"

Started this because I was frustrated about some projects for my academy, then decided to transform it into a lighting study. Not my usual coloring style, but I had fun experimenting a little 🙂‍↕️✨

(Also helped a lot with my frustration lolol)

[quilly72]

Tessa took the vial as she precariously dropped the final ingredients into the mixture. Quickly sealing the tube off as she let it simmer down. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw the runny blue liquid settle into the bottom of the tube. Finally putting her at ease that it wouldn't combust on top of her. Just as she hung her labcoats on the wall her coworker, Nancy, busted through the door.

"did you finish it."

"wha.. what are you talking about.?"

"the serum did you finish the serum yet."

Tessa shut down as she saw Nancy start to make her way to the solution and jotting down notes as she grew more flustered.

She didn't even ask before Nancy answered her questions.

"they're shutting us down. We just lost all our funding if we can't convince them to take us back up in the next 15 minutes we'll lose everything"

Nancy grabbed the vial as Tessa stopped her. "What are you doing it's not stable yet."

Nancy grew frustrated as her friend stopped her. "We need to move to a human trial now so we can show results. This is years of testing Tessa we can't just let it go down the drain. "

Tessa gulped. She knew Nancy was right but she also knew there was no way the solution was ready for humans yet. They had barely even seen what it would do to simpler organic matter let alone a fully grown human.

Tessa tried to calm her down as she grabbed the vial from Nancy. Noting that it was already bubbling and destabilizing the more it moved. "I understand just let me have it and we will figure it out maybe another company will pick us up but for now we put this back before it destabilizes and spontaneously combus....

The glass shattered In her hand as the liquid flared out onto her chest and torso. Tessa gasped as it seeped into her clothes and ran down her body. The liquid burning and Inflamming at her skin as she tried to brush it off. "It burns get it off get it off"

Tessa looked around trying to find something to help her. She started making a break for the shower as Nancy grabbed her arm. "What are you doing I'm gonna be saturated any second now. " Tessa tugged and pulled but Nancy refused to let go. An evil presence stuck behind her eyes.

"I'm sorry tess we really need a human volunteer."

She stopped her from turning the shower on as the liquid seeped into her body. The mixture disappears as she felt it seep further in. Mixing into her skin her muscles and her bones.

"Nancy please let me gooo. Nancy please."

Tessa winced as she felt her body tense up. Her chest burned and seared as she felt her lungs start to struggle against the weight of her chest.

Tessa grimaced as the pain continued to flow across her body. Digging deeper and deeper into her as she leaned against the wall. Her body strained and tensed as she struggled for breath. She felt her chest heaving forward as she craned her neck forward to see it happening. Nancy gasped as they both realized it was taking control. Her boobs bulging forward.

Tessa gritted her teeth as her cardigan constrained her bust. Her boobs flowed over the edges as a button popped off. She yelped as she felt her boobs bulge forward as more space was awarded to them. Another button already shaking as it popped off into the floor.

Tessa regained her breath as she felt her body cool down. Her skin stopped stretching and her body went to ease as she surveyed her new assets. "They're... Huge" she muttered as she grabbed her cardigan smiling. Their project was saved. All she had to do was march up to the top floor and show them her puppies and she would surely get her budget back one way or another

Nancy cheered as she stared at her coworker. "We did it we actually."

She was cut off as Tessa stared daggers into her soul. "I'm not done with you yet if anything happens I blame. Yo..."

Tessa stopped as she grunted. Her body sent a blast of heat across her skin. Her muscles ached and throbbed as she felt her bones crunch up against each other. "Shiii"

Her tits were first to respond. Breaking her cardigan in half as they poured forward. Her bra snapping off I the blink of an eye as she moved her hands to cover herself. Next her feet and legs started to raise. Her sandals snapping off her feet as her legs pressed her higher-up. Tessa waived an arm for support as her cardigan wrapped around her back. Starting to tear up her spine as it ran out of room. "Nancy... FIX THIS"

She screamed as she continued to press upwards. Her cardigan snapped off as she felt her skirt press into her hips. Her butt already dragging out past the fabric. Tessa looked down at Nancy as she realized just how short she was now. Her growth speeding up as Nancy raced to make some sort of reversal agent.

Tessa winced as her panties and skirt fell to the floor. Covering with a hand as Nancy tried not to distract herself.

Tessa felt her ass swell backwards as her head raced upwards. Eagerly eating up every inch of height it was given. "You might wanna hurry UP." SHE yelped as her head bumped the ceiling. Tessa lowered herself in the shrinking room as she fell to a crouch. Then to her knees. Her head still pressing upwards as her body filled the room.

Tessa winced as she felt her head press into the roof again. Bending her neck as she watched Nancy struggle to get anything up and running. "Nancy I think... It's time... To RUN"

Tessa gasped in air as she fell forward. Her tits slamming into Nancy and shoving her to the floor. She struggled underneath Tessa's growing body as she tried to crawl her way out. Her legs being suffocated by her swelling bust. "I'm stuck"

Tessa tried to relieve the pressure but her body grew too fast for any meaningful change to happen . Every inch she moved back was another foot her chest swelled forward. Her feet now planted against the wall as her legs disappeared under her ass. Her head pressed up into the roof as she heard the ceiling crackle.

"STOP GROWING" NANCY screamed

Tessa didn't even manage a reply before her cleavage pressed over the last of Nancys body. Her tits samshed up to her own neck as she felt her back bend the roof upwards

"Fuck Fuck FUUUCK"

The ceiling caved in as she raced into it. Her tits were already filling half the room as a couple of scientists stood gawfing at her giant bust. Her head straining against the roof as she tried to cover herself. It wasn't long before she was up to the next floor. Then the next and the next. Her body finally bursting out of the walls as the building croaked and fell around her. Herfeet stretched out into the street as her butt flattened the foundation. Her body racing across buildings and streets as she continued to ascend.

Tessa stopped trying to save anyone only after a few seconds. Her huge body caused more destruction than she could ever account for. Her body slowly swelled over building after building. Her head above the horizon as people watched her slowly encompass them all. It wasn't till the entire city shrunk under her ass that she even started to slow down. Finally settling after she covered what had to be at least the entire county.

✧SATURDAY

my heart beat sped up as I slammed the door in Chris' face.never being this upset with him in my life. I mean I never really thought he would choose another girl over me.Especially not one that has problems with me for no apparent reason. As I broke down into sobs I pulled out my phone and ironically called Nick, Chris' brother, knowing he would comfort me.

"Hey what's up?Did Chris apologize?" Nick asked through the phone.Once my crying was heard I think he got the hint of what had happened though.

"Can you uh..can you come over please really just... need someone right now."I stifled out as I paced around my living room.too many yet not enough thoughts running through my head.

"yea of course, do you want me to grab anything on the way?"Nick questioned sympathetically. I only responded with a small 'the usual' before we promptly said goodbye and I hung up.

✧NICKS POV

I heard the front door open as I shuffled down the stairs,Chris huffing and puffing as he stepped into my view. "How'd it go?"I asked even though I already knew how it went.I wanted to see if he would lie to me.

"horrible, its not even my fault though, shes acting like an insane bitch and is trying to make me choose between her and ash.fucking stupid.she needs to get over herself." Chris spat out.i was shock at his words about a girl who he used to love so much.the only time he talked about her behind her back was when he was saying how pretty she looked or how kind she way or how funny she could be.all of those feeling were now replaced by cold, rude, bullshit.

"don't talk about her like that, dickhead." I retorted.yes he's my brother and I'll love him no matter what but there is no way I would let him talk about her in such a way.especially when I knew that wasn't what he was like at all.

"what?! How am I the dickhead?" he yelled out as I turned my body to Matt's room in order to ask if he could drive me to y/n's.rolling my eyes and choosing to ignore the boy who had very clearly lost it.

"Can you drive me to y/n's?"I asked while poking my head into Matt's dark room. a small 'yea sure' being the answer as he got up from his desk.walking back into the kitchen area I was met with an angered Chris. God he was acting like such a child.

"don't ignore me,"he slightly shouted. "If I'm really a dick then there must be a reason!" my youngest brother said, looking at me soullessly.

"you literally were flirting with Ashley the other day, didn't  say anything when she insulted your girlfriend, when y/n confronted you about it you don't even care, and then when she asked you to make the very reasonable decision of either her or Ashley you get all pissed and start calling her an insane bitch, so yea I think that makes you a dick."I rambled on frustrated.

Chris didn't say anything before I walked toward the front door.or maybe he was going to but just didn't because of the situation.either way I don't think he really needed to say anything else.as I was getting my shoes on I could faintly hear Matt say "I know your my brother but if you hurt her anymore after today I'll kick your ass." which was followed up by my silence and footsteps towards Chris' room.

Matt huffed as he walked down the stairs and walked out the door to his car with me.Once we got in the car we both sighed deeply. "He's so stupid sometimes."Matt breathed out as he started the car and began to back out of the driveway.

"seriously, also we need to stop by the gas station."I replied.even though I was going to her house in order to comfort her and hopefully make her realize he's not treating her well and that she should just leave I know it would be to no avail.shes a hopeless romantic and there not much I can do about it.

✧YOUR POV

tears sprung out of my eyes like frogs with no hesitation. “Please please please let me get what I want” by deftones playing on my speaker. I looked into the mirror across from my bed as I laid on my side, locking eyes with my own reflection.I slowly picked my body up and now simply sat on my bed.still staring at myself intently.

I found myself simultaneously messing with different parts of my body and face.silently wishing they would morph to look like Ashley.she was perfect.the perfect weight,perfect skin,flawless makeup, model like hair.no wonder why Chris didn't mind her being on top of him.he probably wanted people to think that was his girlfriend.not me.why would anyone wanna be seen with me anyways.

The doorbell ringing for the second time this night broke me out of my thoughts.I slowly brought myself to my feet and dragged myself to the front door.as I opened It I was met with a sympathetic looking Nick holding a gray bag. "hey girl..."he slowly said.

I'm not sure if it was just my brain trying to distract me or what but I couldn't help but notice he had dyed his hair red again. "your hair...its not blonde anymore..."I quietly said.my words making Nick smile

"Yeah I know, just kinda felt like another change, i don't know.do you like it?"he questioned.

"I love it, looks really cool man.''I answered, tired eyes looking at him and realizing he was still outside. "oh shit sorry"I said while moving out of the way. as he stepped into my house I made eye contact with Matt who had most likely been waiting for Nick to go into my house.I waved to him with a small smile as he reciprocated through his car window.

I sighed heavily as I shut the door.remembering what happened earlier. "Okay so I got you red bull, skinny pop, oreos, mints and Lindt chocolate, oh and I got nerds for myself, you can have some though."Nick said once he walked over to my kitchen table, placing the items on said table as he listed them.I don't know how he remembers what I like to eat when I'm sad but this does happen a lot I guess.

I put my head in my hands and let out a deep breath.trying to unwind somehow.a ping was then heard from across the table.i knew it was Nick because my phone had been left upstairs. "Oh God, look who it is."Nick said as he turned his phone to face me. it was Ashley.she had sent him something on snap.

'half swipe it."I said as I made my way around the table, peering over his shoulder to see his screen.

"I don't know how."he responded, panicking.

"Just pull it from the left." I tried to explain.my help wasn't very useful though because he opened it instead. 'Are you mad at me?' read the message "is she fucking stupid.of course your mad at her?"

"She is stupid, that's why she looks like that.im just gonna say no to see what she says."the boy next to me said as he typed out 'no' followed up by 'why would I be mad at you?'.

she immediately opened the message and began typing "wow I'm surprised she opened that fast, probably cause she has no life."I snakily said as we both watched her bitmoji type.

''Oh bc of what happened with y/n the other day. 'she clarified. He was about to start typing again before she beat him to it. 'yk when she was a psycho bitch for no reason' was the next message. "psycho bitch?!oh I'll show her a psycho bitch!"I said as I shot up from my leaned over position on the counter. walking angrily towards my front door.

"y/n you are not going to fight her right now, especially not when you look like that.'' Nick reasoned as he set his phone down. "just forget about her.she's just an irrelevant cunt that has nothing better to do with her life but hate." the red-head said.

he was right.i don't know why I cared what she thought.but when I really think about it,I don't.i couldn't give less then a fuck about how she saw me.it was Chris' opinion I cared about.i wanted him to think I was beautiful, funny and kind.i wanted him to think i was perfect.i wanted him to be able to see me over Ashely.

"did Chris say anything about me?"I asked.switching topics to something more relevant in my head. The face he made when I said this made my stomach drop.Mainly because I knew how mean Chris could get at times and considering what had happened earlier tonight I don't think he said anything good.

"Do you want what he should've said or what he did say?"he asked as I made my way back to my previous placement.

"Tell me what he actually said."I answered.feeling like I was taking a leap of faith.but I knew if I wasn't told the truth then I would never have a chance of getting over this man.

"he was all like 'it went horrible, it’s not even my fault though, she’s being an inane bitch and is trying to make me choose between her and ash.she needs to get over herself.'"Nick said, mimicking Chris' voice to make it more light hearted.it was a little funny but the words made my eyes well up with tears nonetheless.

I was feeling so many different things.sadness, anger, stress but most of all betrayal.i mean he said it wasn't even his fault basically saying it was mine.my fault for being upset for a little bit.he would rather call me an insane bitch then just admit he was wrong and stop being friends with Ashley.that fat pig.

"what!?Ugh I hate him so much!!Why do I even like him?He treats me like shit,never listens and is always on top of other girls?!I don't even think I've heard him say he loves me in like 3 months!? do you think he's cheating?oh my God he probably is!"I rambled on.placing my head in my arms at the end of my words.i slowly began to sob into my own arms.once Nick heard my sobs he hugged my hunched over back.

"no don't say that.he's obviously not cheating on you."he reassured.his words didn't do much though because my cries only got louder and more emotional.my best friend ushered me up so he could hug me normally.i pulled away from the hug  once I was able to actually breath.looking up at Nick with tired, sad,eyes.thankful for him being here but also embarrassed for crying over his brother. "wanna watch a movie?" the boy sympathetically asked.i nodded a small yes before I grabbed all my snacks and headed over to the couch.

watching the movie was a good distraction for some time.but nonetheless I found myself thinking of him. how much I missed him and just wishing he was here right now.im not going to apologize though.I did nothing wrong no matter what he thinks.so if that means that we never speak again then I'm fine with that.oh who am I kidding, I'm definitely not fine with that.

✧THE NEXT DAY, SUNDAY

'come over please' and 'I miss you' were the two messages I had been staring at for at least five minutes.the sender being chris made this all the more strange and confusing.i mean he was just calling me an insane bitch yesterday and now he wants me to come over.but for some reason I caved.maybe he wanted to apologize or something.

I threw a zip up over my lace tank top and tied my gray sweatpants.sliding my crocs on as I stepped outside started walking to my car.

Once I began driving I found myself more fidgety in anticipation than what felt like ever before.fingers tapping against the steering wheel rhythmically and constant glancing at the ETA were I knew this.

As I entered the house using my key I felt anxiety rush over me.Matts keys weren't here and neither was Nick's jacket which he never leaves the house without during this time of the year.meaning that it was only the two of us in this house.

My footsteps felt heavy as I walked down to his room.something I had done many times now feeling unfamiliar.I knocked on his bedroom door lightly once I approached it. though as the door was opened I wasn't even aloud a greeting before he placed his hands on my hips and smashed his lips onto mine hungrily.i wish I could say I rejected the kiss but I couldn't.it was like he had put a spell on me.

he walked backwards as we eventually crashed onto his bed.i straddled over his lap as I deepened kiss.he swiftly flipped me over onto my back and moved me so I was sat up a little.i took the hint and unzipped my hoodie, throwing it off to the side while trying my best not to break the kiss.

he then removed my tank top.now revealing my bare chest to him "no bra huh?so you are still my slut." he said as a smirk formed on his lips.

"I was actually about to go to bed but whatever you wanna believe."I retorted.

"do you want me to fuck you or not?"he questioned, looking into my eyes.i stayed silent though.letting the wetness between my legs make my decisions. "that's what I thought."he darkly said. pale arms taking his own shirt off.toned body now all in view for me.

"you know what to do.''was my signal to take my pants off.i undid the tie on my sweats and slid them off.leaving my white laced panties on. "sit up and go on the side of the bed"he demanded.i did as he said.sitting on my knees a on the side of the bed I was closer to.he then came around to the side I was facing.once he was directly in front of me he dropped his baggy jeans and boxers at once, cock springing free.all 8 inches now stood in front of me.his pink tip leaking pre-cum.

I looked up at him innocently.as if I had never done this before.i then, on instinct, began to pump him with my hand slowly.my actions making his breath hitch.i placed my lips on the tip and began to lower my head.pace increasing every time I brought my head up.eventually his hands made their way to my hair and began to push my head into his cock roughly. "fuck just like that.keep going.use that perfect little mouth for something good for once."he harshly spat out looking down at me as he said that.i ignored his words though and continued to suck him off.

This feeling being lost on me for almost a week made my throat sting pleasurably.his grip on my hair tightened which told he was close.the signal making me go faster.if even possible.small whimpers fell from his cherry lips as I continued to work. “Oh God yes,please I’m…I’m almost there”he mumbled out, the words working as encouragement for me to keep going.then without warning I felt his cum shoot itself into my mouth.the salty savory flavor touched my taste buds as I swallowed.

Once he came down from his own high he looked down at me.i kept my eyes on his.looking up like a lost puppy. "fuck your so hot" he said as he grabbed my middle area and situated me on my back and so I was on his bed longways.once he laid down with me he whispered "sit on my lap baby"

I complied and did as he said.placing myself more on his legs then his actual lap because I knew he wouldn't be that easy. "you want me to fuck you?"he asked.i nodded 'yes' in response. looking down at him with pleading eyes even though I was on top right now. "use your words.you had so much to say before, what happened to that?"he teased.

"please chris just fuck me, ive been waiting for days!"I squealed out.thankful there was nobody else home right now. 

"good girl.."he hissed out.his words being my command to lift my hips up and hover over his cock.then without warning he thrusted up into me after lining himself up with my entrance.the sudden feeling making me yelp.he continued to buck his hips up into mine as I bounced simultaneously, placing my fingertips on his chest for some sort of stabilization.

moans that were higher pitched than my actual voice spilled out of my mouth along with swears and small pleads.my body was hot as I went up and down on him.his hands were at my waist, guiding my every move harshly. The pale boy grabbed my waist hard, making me wince at the pleasure mixed with pain.the idea that the boy who I was crying over last night was ramming himself into me right now made me feel guilty.but I can't help it.his touch is intoxicating.

my jaw fell open as pornographic noises flowed from my lips.eyes screwing shut and head being now hung low.i was so caught up in myself that I didn't even register the small whimpers coming from the boy underneath me. The noises being my key to realize he really did miss me.at least a part of me. "keep going baby, don't stop, i'm gonna-"I rambled on before being cut off by my own already familiar noises

"Me too..shit.."he whispered.

"chris fuck fuck fuuuuck"I strung out as I came undone on top of him.laying my body on his as he thrusted up into me again,chasing his own high. Whiny whimpers made their way into my ear as I felt him twitch inside of me.knowing he was close I decided to tease him a little by kissing his neck and leaving a trail of hickeys.my sensitive body not mattering at all to either of us.

"fuck baby" he groaned out as I felt his load shoot into me, coating my insides.we sat there in silence.sweaty bodies catching their breath.once we calmed ourselves he pulled me off him and situated me so I was laying on my side, facing the boy who replicated my current position."lemme get you a towel."he said before promptly getting up, putting his boxers on, and doing as he said.

When he came back and cleaned me up I couldn't help but stare at him.all his features slithering into my eyes. "Can I have a shirt?"I asked softy.not wanting to put my tank top back on because of the temperature.he only hummed an ‘mhm’ before tossing me a random black shirt with a white design on it.

"Can we talk? ''he awkwardly said as we both were now sat up and at least partially clothed. I nodded my head to signify I was listening."listen y/n im...im really sorry about earlier.i was a dick and I shouldn't have acted like that.i know you don't like Ashley and i'm totally fine with dropping her.i would rather lose her then you any day and i'm so sorry if I made you feel otherwise.a-and if your ever upset again don't be afraid to say something cause I promise I won't act like a dick again."he nervously rambled on.

I wish I had it in me to stay mad at him but I couldn't.i know this apology was just so I wouldn't leave him lonely and he would pull something stupid in a few weeks.but I can't help it.i'm in love with him and there's nothing I can do about it.

✧MONDAY MORNING

my eyes screwed shut almost immediately after they fluttered open, the bright sunlight causing this.i turned my head around to the best of my abilities to see if chris was awake and it didn't seem like it. I turned my head back and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. "you're finally awake."Chris said from behind me,startling me a little.

I hummed a small 'mhm' before trying to get up but to my dismay he pulled me back down to my previous spot. "I have to pee."I giggled.

"pee later"he mumbled, pulling me closer if possible.

"yea no thank you"I said before breaking out of his limp arms grasp and standing up to go to the bathroom.taking a mental note of my sore legs from last night.

"I see you limping!"he teased once I got into the bathroom.

"oh fuck off"I lightly shouted back.once I washed my hands I began walking towards his door, the idea of food in mind.

"Where are you going?"he asked from his now sat up place.holding himself up on his elbows.

"I'm hungry"I said while throwing on my sweatpants that had been tossed here last night.

When I got up the stairs Nick turned his head to me.shock and disappointment coated his face. "Okay I thought we agreed you hated him?"he questioned.Keeping his voice low knowing Chris was still in the house.

"ugh I know but he texted me last night and told me to come over and then one thing led to another and...look he apologized."I tried to reason.nick though, was not having any of this.i made my way over to the fridge and grabbed my strawberry smoothie from Thursday that had been left here by accident.Taking a sip from it while I turned around to face my best friend again.

"yea and he apologized last time, and the time before that, and the time before that.you have to let him go y/n.he's not good for you."Nick explained to me.I know he was right but I couldn't just get over him.I wasn't the type of person to just get over stuff like that.

"Well last night seemed genuine, okay?I seriously think he meant it.''I said before footsteps were heard coming from chris' bedroom which ended me and Nick's conversation.

Chris hugged me from behind and kissed the top of my head.nick shot me a "you need help" look and I couldn't do much besides give him a "yea I know" look back.the brothers began conversing but it was more like background music to me.

I know nick is right, he’s not good for me.but I can't help it.everytime I look into his eyes I feel like i'm sinking deeper in this pit of love I dug so long a ago for him.i hated that I loved him and how I knew he was gonna do me wrong.but with his arms wrapped around me like they were right now I can't help but leave that as a problem for future me.

5: Garuaaa

Pag 5

1: It was probably the same for Danchiku

2: Danchiku watched Sohoku running for two years

And Sugimoto for three years....!!

4: So they chose that race!!

Pag 6

1: They chose to fight!!

3: Are you an idiot... Sugimoto

4: If you ... wanted to run with me at our third and last Inter High, you could have stuck behind me, easily, and take the goal that way

5: and become... a member... the “sixth man”

NOT PROOFREAD

i sigh, throwing my pen down in frustration. work has been kicking me in the ass the past couple of weeks and i just need to unwind. i check the time on my phone and the door to the room opens and my fiancé walks in smiling.

"you're still working?" he asks me, walking closer and i nod.

"have to finish this."

"okay but you know taking a break is okay, right?"

"yeah i know. which is why the girls and i are going out tonight." i respond in excitement. i haven't gotten to spend much time with them since we're all so busy with our lives.

"oh... don't you wanna relax and unwind here at home? i can give you a massage, cook you dinner..." he suggests amd i shake my head.

"i barely get the time to go out with them and tonight's the night. we can have a nice night in tomorrow night."

he nods with a disappointed expression on his face and i can't help but feel bad so i stand up and wrap my arms around him.

"hey. it's just tonight." i try reassuring him and he smiles again, planting a kiss on my lips."

"now get out of here. i need to finish this."

"no can do baby, you've been in here since you got up this morning and it's..." he pauses to reach into his pocket to check the time on his phone. "3pm. you need to eat something."

"alright, alright." i say in defeat and we walk out with him.

my fiancé is nothing short of perfect. he's caring and thoughtful and treats me so well. i mean, everyone adores him. my friends, my parents... so why would i not marry him, right?

he managed to pull me completely away from work to watch a movie with him after eating. i'm honestly so grateful for because i think i might actually turn into a zombie if i stare at my laptop any longer.

"baby i have to go get ready." i say to him and he hums.

"in a second."

"i'm already late. they'll be here in an hour and you know that's not enough time for me to get ready." i plead with him and he sighs and sits up from his position on the sofa.

"okay, okay. go ahead."

"thank you."

i get up and head to our room to get my stuff ready and shower.

————

my phone rings and it's my friend, sienna, letting me know she's outside so i quickly get my bag so i can go.

"she's outside baby." i say in passing but he stops me in my tracks.

"you're not going out like that, are you?" he asks me, glancing at my outfit.

"i'm wearing it, am i not? come on baby, she's waiting outside."

"yeah but... i don't know baby..."

"not this please. don't wait up." just as i start walking again he speaks up.

"what will you be doing?"

"getting shit faced with my friends. can i go now?"

"yeah.. uh yeah. bye baby." i give him a quick kiss before heading out and walking to my friend's car which is already packed with the our other friends. just as i'm about to get in, a shot glass is pushed in front of me and i look at the girls confused.

"pregame." amara, one of my friends, states and i down the shot before entering. the car and greet everyone.

the atmosphere in the car is so lively and everyone is talking and singing, sienna is annoying her boyfriend who's driving us there. bless his heart. this is just what i need right now. we're going to this lounge that amara had been raving about for weeks and now that we finally get to go, she's bouncing off the seats of this car.

"when are we getting there? we've been in here forever. it's hot in here." sienna pouts from the front seat, fanning herself, probably from drinking.

"relax, we're here." sienna's boyfriend says, pulling up and we all fike out and thank him.

"LETS GOOO!" one of my other friends, zay, shouts but amara shuts her down really quick.

"sweetie, this is a lounge." she hushed and zay clears her throat and fixes her skirt.

"right."

we go in and immediately head to the bar to order drinks because those two little shots in the car were not enough.

"so how has everyone been?" zay asks, sipping on her cocktail and everyone groans.

"horrible. they were laying people off at work. when i tell you, they called me in and i nearly pissed myself." amara explains and then further explains how they called her in because they found out she was hooking up with the finance guy during her breaks.

"and you're so nonchalant about that?" i ask her and she nods.

"could've been worse."

"dignity?" zay questions and she nods. "and you? wedding planning??" zay asks, turning to me.

don't get me started.

"i been trying to get them to slow down on that but no one's listening."

"why do you wanna slow down?"

"because everything is moving fast, duh. i feel everywhere i look, people are wedding stuff in my face. Just this morning i was arguing with the his aunt about seating plans. apparently she's not happy with 3rd row." i say in frustration

"it's always the aunties. i'd put her in the last row if she wants something to really fuss about." sienna says and i sigh.

"i just want a breather and step away from all this wedding stuff. i don't even know why we rushed to start planning anyway."

"because he's trying to wife you up now. it's cute."

"right..."

"aren't you happy?" amara chimes in with a question and i sigh.

"of course i am. i am." my voice fades out and i take a gulp from my glass. "but i'm not trying to think about that right now."

"she's right. let's go mingle. there's a hot guy there, 3 o'clock." zay exclaims.

"you and amara go. we'll be here." sienna tells her and they nod and walk on their merry way.

"now tell me about this. you don't sound too excited for someone who's getting married."

"i really am, i swear. i'm just really stressed, is all." i tell her and she looks at me skeptically, however, her expression changes.

"oh no."

"what?" i ask her and she just looks somewhere behind me so i look to where she is looking and my heartbeat picks up at the sight of the man mingling with his friends. his all too familiar smile rests on his breathtaking face. the same smile that lights up any room, as corny as it sounds. he's now sporting black hair which is longer than when i last saw him. so basically, he looks perfect.

"don't stare." sienna whispers and i snap out of the somewhat trans i was in.

"i wasn't."

"you better. maybe we should go somewhere else before he sees you." she suggests and i nod. we walk to another area. i look around for amara and zay amd i know damn well they've found people to take home.

i see sienna bring in another drink and i sigh. i don't know how her lightweight ass is still going.

"sweetie, are you sure you wanna drink this much?" i ask her cautiously and she nods.

"i can handle my liquor!"

————

"why did you let me drink so much." i hear sienna whine to zay somewhere behind me and i rub my temples. this is not how i envisioned my night to go.

"hey, i'm taking sienna to the bathroom, you coming with?" zay asks and i shake my head without saying anything.

just as i'm about to stand up and go elsewhere someone calls my name and i turn to the person.

"theo." i mutter to myself, frozen in my spot.

"i had a feeling it was you." he smiles and i nod, still not sure what to do. "it's been a while, hasn't it?"

"y-yeah, it has. how have you been?"

"good. a few off days here and there, but who doesn't have those."

he looks so damn good right now. his face is a little flushed, i guess from the alcohol and man. many flashbacks from when we were together come back to me and i get this yearning feeling from it.

"i heard you're getting married." he mentions and i look down at my hands.

"oh, uh... i am."

"how exciting." he comments with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

someone please end this right now. it's so damn awkward.

"yeah, it is."

"you don't sound too excited though."

please not this conversation again.

"i am. i'm just tired, you know."

"wedding planning?"

"yeah."

he gestures for us to sit down at the bar and i do. when i should've declined amd looked for amara, i went and sat down with him. my whole body feels so warm right now.

"is there trouble in paradise or something? you're missing that glint in your eyes." he says lowly and i notice how close we sat.

"no. nothing of the sort. everything is fine between us actually." i tell him and he hums, seemingly unconvinced.

i mean, that's true, right?

"what's he like?" theo asks and my breathing becomes uneven.

"he's uh... he's really sweet, he's loving, caring. you know."

"bare minimum. give me something else."

"that's all."

"of course. he's the picture perfect man too, huh?" he presses and i nod which makes him laugh.

"what's funny?"

"nothing. tell me more about him."

"he's great. look, i don't- i don't wanna talk about him right now. okay. i'm tired of talking about him, the wedding, my relationship, none of that. that's all i've been talking about lately."

"i see..." he nods in amusement and i clear my throat, looking around. i quickly spot amara with laughing with another group of people and this is my chance to leave.

"i see my friend, i should probably go. it was nice catching up." i say and i stand up and go to her, leaving him at the bar.

"amara."

"oh there she is. this is the friend inwas talking about." she says, introducing me to the small group of people and i awkwardly wave at them.

"congratulations on your wedding by the way." one of the girls say and i kid you not, my eye twitched.

"thank you."

amara makes me sit down next to hwr so i can join the conversation but my mind rushed back to theo. i glance back to where we were sitting and he's still there with a drink in his hand, his   cx  eyes are trained on me so i look away.

————

it's been a week since i saw theo again and that's all i've been thinking about. how much i miss him again.

"you're missing that glint in your eye."

everyone always says i don't sound excited or that i'm acting indifferent about getting married but theo saying that, for some reason, is making me think too much about it.

"hi baby." my fiancé's voice snaps me away from my thoughts. "we need to meet the planner."

"her name is hannah baby."

"yeah."

"i'll go get ready." i say to him before standing up to go get ready for yet another draining day.

when we're both done, we go and meet up with hannah and i see my fiancé's mother there too.

"babe, what is she doing here?" i ask him quietly and he brushes me off. okay bitch, damn.

————

this bitch doesn't shut the fuck up. she hates every suggestion i make, like sorry lady, who's the bride here? like right now i'm fighting for my life over here because she wants fucking doily placemats which don't go with anything.

"do you see her? do you hear how disrespectful she is when she talks to me?" she asks, pointing to me once hannah leaves the room.

"all i'm saying is that the doilies don't do witgthe overall decor. she's acting like i'm coming at her or something."

"baby, please. she was just making a suggestion and she felt like you were attacking her."

"oh! must i talk to her like a damn baby? how much more gentle must i talk?"

"enough already! you raised your voice at her, i heard you. that's my mother you're talking to, your future mother in law!"

"when you raised your voice right now, why did you do it?" i ask him in a much calmer tone. "you felt like i wasn't hearing you right?"

his eyes move to his mother before coming back to me.

"that doesn't mean you should discreet me. listen to what he said already."

"i'm not doing this." i say and head outside so i can literally be anywhere away from that woman. my fiancé follows behind, calling me a few times.

"baby, where are you going? we're not done in there." he tells me once I'm in front of the elevator.

"you and your mother can sort everything out, give me updates when you're done." i respond to him indifferently amd he sighs.

"don't be like that."

"like what? what am i being like?"

"you're overreacting. my mom means well, i mean come on. you lashed out at her over a suggestion, that's not fair to her."

"we're you even there? did you hear the way she was talking to me? you kept quiet when she was passing comments about me but one time i talk just a little bit louder, it's like i insulted her entire lineage. and a suggestion can be shut down. it becomes a problem when it's being forced on you. you need to grow a fucking backbone and get off your mother's areola and tell her no. being a good son doesn't mean agree with her every word." i tell him and push the button.

"she was really hurt that you shut her down you know? she was acting on emotion."

"okay then, i'll stay out of her hair. you two plan this wedding, pick everything out, i'll show just up on our wedding so we can get married." the doors of the elevator open amd i go inside, leaving him out there on his own.

motherfucker.

i go outside the building and speaad walk down the street, without an actual place to go in mind.

yeah there's that one thing i didn't mention. my fiancé is STUCK on his mother's tits. no matter what, she can do no wrong in his eyes, that's his biggest flaw amd no, i wouldn't call him a mama's boy. well he doesn't act like the typical one at least but i just wish he could see the way she treats me.

"you might bump into someone."

fuck fuck fuck. how fucking cliché.

"taeyang."

"no one walks looking down."

"i do."

"you look upset."

"i am."

"you wanna talk about it?" he asks and i look him in the eyes for a second. i nod and he directs me into a small café where he orders us drinks. "now tell me. what got you so upset?"

"my fiancé, he tries so hard to appeal to his mother even if it means being unreasonable to me so i left them to plan this wedding." i explained to him, keeping it brief.

"he's planning his wedding with his mother?" theo asks and i nod. "without tge bride to be?"

"yeah. it's her way or the highway. she blew things way out of proportion when i kindly declined on what she suggested. next thing i know, she's snitching on me to her son like a little kid who got pushed on the playground. lord knows he'd never back me up so he scolded me, imagine that."

"oh? i thought you liked when people were a little mean to you." he says with raised eyebrows and i return a deadpanned look. "sorry."

"this is serious."

"i don't mean any offense when i say this but if you're not getting along with your fiancé's mother and he never backs you up or stands up for you, is marrying him really a good choice?"

"i mean, i love him and he loves me-"

"please, he'd let you burn to keep his mother warm."

"that's an unsettling analogy and also, i can't make him choose between me and his mother. it's not fair."

"you're too patient. i'm sorry you have to deal with all of that."

"it's whatever. i feel like i'm just talking about myself, how have you been?"

"i've been good. went from boring job to another boring one." he briefly explains and i nod.

"no girlfriend?"

"already found the love of my life." he answers and my heart drops, selfishly so.

"is that so?"

"yeah. she-" he starts but he's interrupted by a shrill voice cutting through the air.

"what's going on here?" i turn to my fiancé's mother who's standing next to him. his arms are crossed with a pissed expression on his face.

"mother-"

"pleasure to meet you ma'am, i'm y/n's friend." theo politely greets and i don't think that's helping anything.

"we're going." my fiancé says and i nod, walking behind him without daring to look back.

when we get into the car i sit in the back and wait for one of them to say something or gang up on me but none of them do. it's only when he drops his mother off when he finally says something to me.

"get in the front seat."

i do what he says and take a seat right next to him. he still has that annoying scowl on his face as he looks forward and drives.

"what were you doing with him?"

"talking."

"that close?"

"we weren't even close. we we're talking normally."

"must i remind you that he is your ex?"

"he won't do anything. look, i'll cut contact with him immediately if it'll make you feel better."

"i'd appreciate that."

i sigh and sink in ny seat as i wait for us to get home.

————

the wedding date is getting closer and my doubts are settling in day by day. it's been nothing but arguments between my fiancé and i and it really makes me think if this is how it's gonna be in marriage. he's an absolute menace when we argue but he's charming when we're not, is that what's making me stay? or is it the fact that money has already been spent?

i feel overwhelmed and with everything amd everyone moving so fast, i just feel like i need to escape. i have to.

i stare at my phone, contemplating my next decision for a second longer before pressing call with instant regret. if i'm lucky, he changed his number, but-

"hello?"

"taeyang. i don't know if you still have my number saved-"

"y/n."

"yeah?"

"what's going on?" he asks and i close my eyes.

"uh, are you busy?"

"not really, no. what's wrong?"

"nothing, i just- can we meet up?"

"you know my address." he says and i smile to myself.

"thank you."

"no problem. i'll see you."

"bye." i hang up and go get my keys and purse before heading out.

i walk through the living room where my fiancé is sitting.

"i'm heading out for a bit."

"where are you going?" he questions immediately which stops me in ny tracks.

"i'm meeting a friend."

"don't be out too late." i hum and walk out to the car and drive down the familiar road to theo's place.

once i get there i take a deep breath before knocking on the door and wait for him to open.

"y/n. come in." he says, letting me in. i take my shoes off and walk into the apartment. not much has changed except the now white painted walls. "what brings you here?"

"hmm?"

"you sounded a bit off on the phone. what's wrong?" he asks me with concern in his voice and i turn to him. he gestures for me to sit on the couch and this reminds me of all the times i've come crying to him whenever i had a problem and how eager he was to help and comfort me, just like he is now.

"everything. everything is wrong, i just. i don't know..."

"what's on your mind?"

"all this wedding stuff, the doubts i have around it."

"you're having doubts about getting married?" he questions and i nod, feeling my eyes burn.

"i think we rushed things and, it's all just too much. i mean, i was over the moon when he proposed, i thought i was ready so i said yes."

"i think this is something you should tell him. let him know that you're not sure about this, you know, lay it all out. not saying anything is gonna lead you to that alter where you'd feel forced to say 'i do'. you won't be happy in the end."

"he'd try to convince me that it's just cold feet, that i'm stressed and that's what's making me think twice. or he'd take it the completely wrong way and think i'm breaking up with him."

"have you had a conversation that's lead to either of those kinds of scenarios?" he asks softly and i nod. "it seams like he's just scared to lose you."

"he shouldn't be. i love him."

"do you?" theo asks and i look at him and he's looking right back at me.

"i do..." i pause and think about my next answer.

"then why don't you think you're ready to marry him of you do?"

"you don't need to marry someone to show that you love them."

"maybe not, but to some, it is a show of how much you love them. that you're willing to commit to them and only them for the rest of your life." he explains and i think.

i've always believed that you don't have to marry someone to show how much you love them but when i was still with theo, i'd imagined myself walking down the aisle, exchanging vows with him. i imagined a life with him, with my fiancé i didn't think that far. everything with him has always been in the moment, even after he proposed, i was in no rush to start planning our wedding.

"i don't feel the spark anymore... i- i don't think i'm in love with him." i confess.

"and do you love him?" theo pressed further and i sigh.

that's a question i've found myself asking. do i love him?

"if you truly love someone, would you question yourself?" i ask and

looking back at theo and his expression doesn't change, well, other than the smile that plays on his lips.

"you're not happy in your relationship, are you?"

"i'm not. i genuinely have feelings for him but nothing quite like what i've felt before. he's genuinely a great guy but..."

"but what?"

"he's not you, taeyang." i admit and he takes my hand in his. "i can't love someone nearly as much as i love you."

"you know this is wrong, right?" he says and i look down at our joint hands. "you have a whole fiancé at home but here you are telling your ex you love him."

"tae-"

"i don't think i could ever love someone as much as i love you, y/n. it broke my heart knowing you moved on and even more so when i heard people saying you're getting married. i had to truly accept i lost you but you come here and tell me you still love me, get me all excited but you're gonna go back to your fiancé after this, pretend you're happy with him. how do you do it?"

"what?"

"how do you pretend you're happy when you're with him? you said it yourself right? he's not me. he can't love you like i can, can he?" he speaks just above a whisper.

"taeyang i can't-"

"you came here, felt that familiar feeling and then what? you're gonna leave, no?"

"i don't know how much pretending i can do after this."

"don't get my hopes up."

"i don't wanna be with him taeyang. not like this, not after this. you're the one i belong with."

he brings his hand to hold my face before leaning in and attaching his lips on mine and i melt into his touch, the feeling i've been longing for creeps back into my body. this is what i've been missing all this time but it's quickly taken away when he pulls away and looks deep into my eyes.

"i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i shouldn't have don't it like this. i don't wanna be your secret. if you're walking out that door, you're going with the intent of calling this wedding off and ending your relationship."

"you're right. you're right." i nod and i fix myself up.

"i'll go with you." he says and i nod and we walk out together.

[thegeminisage]

ok, i got about an hour and a half to play some zelda!!! i'm in rito village cuz i got my frog armor. my map says there's a chasm here so i'm gonna get some korok seeds and see if i can find it

god i miss kass.

i havent ben back here since i did the wind temple, so there's a lot of sidequests lol

ok, i NEVER would have found that chasm without help. the opening into the cave is SO tiny

off to a fantastic start. landed by a yiga hideout AND a lightroot!!

oh! it's isolated! i guess that makes sense cuz in the overworld it's surrounded by water. i was gearing up to do some Depths Exploring though, i kinda miss it??

i notice mineru didn't meet me. so she really is only in one little section until i do the dungeon. blegh

oh, it's not a proper yiga hideout, there's just a diary. something about a weapon with blue stone. PLEEEEASE be a timeshift stone please please please (guy who knows it wont actually be a timeshift stone)

CRYSTALLIZED ZONAI SHOP LETS FUCKING GOOO

aw and a schema stone

siren call of the depths: i kinda wanna explore more. i was gonna go back up to rito village and knock out some of those sidequests but fuck it

as with the overworld i have a lot of the eastern section knocked out and have barely touched the western half. so i guess i'll go clean up in the east. unfortunately i have not been marking ANY of my boss encounters bc i didnt want to look at this map too closely so i'll probably wind up doing them all again lol

i don't know, am i taking some of the joy of exploration out of the depths by looking at this map early? i guess so, but i don't want to forge on without it, and the internet has spoiled me for the whole thing anyway. besides, they're not detailed enough that you can really tell what it'll look like once you get there. i think some surprises will still remain

i am going to turn on hands i think lol. that's one surprise i DON'T want, not down here

i guess if things get too hairy or tedious i always have my bike...it's been so long since i learned about them, yet since then i've barely set foot down here at all. i was doing koroks. so it's been a REALLY long time since i've properly explored down here.

tiny dark spot by hateno so im starting there. warped to a nearby root and found the two new ones i need pretty much instantly without even using the spoiler map - they were just hidden behind a wall

i read somewehre that the weapons the ghost soldiers hold for you, the unrotted ones, will only be weapons you've already broken above. which is stupid cool but then WHYYY do i never get royal broadswords...they're my favorites...

another mine...i guess that's to be expected. why do they all have the names of the cities above though? like, hateno didn't exist throughout the ages, it wasnt in oot or whatever. you can't tell me every city in hyrule is 10,000 years old. i guess lin's sheikah slate is naming the mines and using the names of the villages it knows? but IT'S 10,000 years old too. i love totk but the way it breaks the lore is so fucking frustrating, especially since i was finally excited about the lore actually being COHESIVE for the first time after skyward sword.

ooh, this diary mentions a hidden yiga academy behind a waterfall in gerudo...i've been spoiled a bit for that questline too but i feel better that i found the tip organically

oh. i found a "researcher" lol

LMAOOOO she's asking me to pick my own demise. incred

good GOD what is that...i shouldn't have answered...i picked burny bc i actually hate freezy more but what in the name of god

i mean i killed her basically instantly but that was a little alarming! i wish i got a schema stone for one of THOSE

MORE refinery shopping. i already have enough for one battery upgrade and i'm close to getting a second

oop yeah there's upgrade #2

and another schema stone!

ok, doubling back to check and old map mark i missed...

GLOOM TREES BAD

oh it's cap of the sky! i actually already have one of those lol but i can sell this one

ok, let's see...there's a tiny dark spot under gut check rock, so i'll get that next...

i have like. 630 arrows lol and it's a good thing too bc i got spotted by a monster camp and just took them out from a tree

zonaite really isnt hard to collect...like, at first having to get 4000+ to max your battery seemed impossible. but the hard part is that the refineries don't sell a lot at once so you either have to warp around or wait to turn it all in lol

i like how weather attack makes food useful again? like i stopped making food to help me with heat or cold bc i had armor...BUT i can't have armor to defend me from the elements AND the attack up from the elements at the same time. if i want both, i need food for one or the other! it's very clever. now i need to be more mindful when cooking instead of just doing the same health and stamina refills over and over

i really hate how hard the lava air effect makes it to fucking SEE down here. jesus

killed a flux construct. sick nice etc

found a proper yiga hideout >:)

minecart tracks??? i want a cart too... :(

sadly lacking in cart to cart combat. 0/10 stars

ok, working my way down towards the spring of power. i want those bargainer statues lol

i like exploring the depth a lot better when shit is lit up. i didn't realize until now but it's exhausting not to be able to see ANYTHING. i think that's why i got so tired of it so quickly before, even though i was also having fun poking around. finding one light point after another is fun and that requires darkness but it's also really difficult to navigate the terrain when you can't see AND there's gloom

found my mf statue. i cant believe i walked right past these before...you wouldn't know they're there unless you're looking :/

YESSSSS HOOD OF THE DEPTHS...finally.................

i had almost 700 poes so i had plenty to buy with lol

ANOTHER yiga hideout!! have i done this one?? it looks familiar...

oh yep lmao i sure have. bummer. at least i can mark it off my map :/

ok, thats all i have time for!!!

RIKI AND YOU BEGAN DATING for a few months now, and his family house started to feel like a second home for you. with that, you spend lot of time just hanging out there, cuddling with your boyfriend and gossiping with his sisters. back in school, that was when everything begun: you guys friendship and then love era. everything felt so special, but, one of the most special things is the thumb fight rule; which consists in starting a thumb fight whenever there is an different opinion when choosing something or when both of you don't want to do something but has to: like now.

"i am not doing the dishes, nishimura," you spoke up, looking at the sink full of dishes while he stood by your side, analysing the current situation as well.

he rubbed his bottom lip with his index finger before replying: "you know," clearing his throat, he turned to look at you with his arms crossed. "i am kind of tired and you're in my house, so..."

"are you telling me that just because i am here i have to do the dishes?" you scoffed. "mama!" you called riki's mother, teasing him. "ma, riki is-"

"shut up!" his hands covered your mouth and you, trying to break free from his tight hold, touched your tongue against his hand. "ugh, freak!" your laugh echoed through the kitchen walls, travelling to the living room.

"RIKI! stop bothering my sister!" konon called her brother while sat on the sofa.

"ha! idiot!" you mocked him.

"shut up you little- little... ugh," he rolled his eyes, already pulling his jumper's sleeves up. "i'll just do the dishes, babe." your boyfriend shrugged, annoyed but unbothered.

"wait," you sighed. "let's just do a thumb fight..." you spoke with a frustrated voice, not wanting too, but feeling bad for making him do the dishes by himself.

"yeeesss!" riki cheered.

"nevermind," you began to walk away from the kitchen.

"nooooo, babe, come back!" he took your hand and pulled you, making you land on his chest. "oh... hi there, little one," you felt a kiss being placed on your forehead.

"riki-"

"huh?! who's that?" he pushed you away from his chest, like you just cursed at him. in a comic way, he placed the palm of his hand behind his ear, like he was having a hard time hearing you.

"niki..."

"um, i can't hear you,"

"nini," you snorted, getting impatient.

"mhm? wha'd you say?"

"UGH! forget it! i'll do it!"

"no! wait, wait, nini? perfect! is perfect, okay? i can live without being called baby by my own girlfriend..." he sniffed. "anyway, where we were at?"

"thumb fight,"

"yeah, thumb fight, okay," interlacing both of your hands, riki's thumb was already taking over.

"hey, you little fucker, i didn't say start!" you complained, frowning with a pout.

"okay, okay, say start already, otherwise i'll kiss that pout out of your lips." he sent you a playful flying kiss, and you turned your head like you were avoiding it from landing on you.

"alright, are you ready to get your fingers wrinkled?" you squinted your eyes, teasing him.

"i'll probably not be the one ending up with a wet shirt," he shrugged.

"we'll see," you smirked. "three, two one, fight!"

"LET'S GOOO!" riki screamed with enthusiasm.

"that was unfair, your thumb is much bigger than mine!"

"cry about it!" the japanese boy began to mimick a baby crying, even making that exaggerated pouty lips.

"what the fuck are you guys doing?" a feminine voice took away the playful atmosphere.

"um..." riki began to blush, embarrassed from being caught while doing such a stupid thing. meanwhile, you were holding your laugh so hard that you felt like exploding. "nothing."

"mhm..." konon shook it off, walking in the room.

"nonnie, why are you... there?" your head dropped to the side when you realised your sister-in-law was about to take over the dishes.

"huh? i'm gonna put the dishes in the dish washer," she shrugged and riki's loud groan was heard.

"KONON!"

"whaaat?" she turned to look at her brother.

"since when we have... that!" he pointed to the dishwasher.

"since we moved,"

"wait, haven't we moved here like... ten years ago?"

"yeah," she nodded, confirming to her own self. "like ten years ago." konon shrugged, focusing on the dishes again.

"but, konon!"

"what now, riki?" she sighed, turning to look at her brother once again.

"oh, nothing is just that-"

" 'that' what?"

"she" he points at you. "was supposed to do the dishes."

"okay, and?" her face suddenly turned into an angry one. "don't tell me you didn't know we had the dishwasher and you want her to do the dishes? you're mean, nishimura." konon shook her head.

"your mum won't be happy when she discovers this," you mimicked your sister-in-law's action, shaking your head as well, already planning how to make mum pissed off and riki under trouble.

"bet,"

"yeah? bet? mamaaaa!"

"SHUT UP!"

bonus scene! ⭑

"I'LL TELL MUM WHAT YOU did earlier," you told your boyfriend while laying on his chest. "and don't you dare to bet me again!" you made him aware.

"never again..." he replied, having flashbacks from when you hit him ― playfully, of course.

"wait, you're really gonna let me get in trouble? your handsome and caring boyfriend? who you love and-"

"who said i love you?"

"now you're the one being mean,"

"payback, baby." riki pouted.

"give me a kiss at least, damn..." he slowly began to approximate his face from yours.

"bet! gimme your thumb and we'll see if i'll rather kiss you or not."

"you're so mean!~"

I went into my room and took off my backpack, setting it down. I turned on the light and saw somebody by the window making me panic till I learned to look closer. "Peter is that you?" I asked, his brown shaggy hair disheveled with his posture stiff. 

I spoke again, this time louder "Peter why are you in my room?" Usually he's out at this time watching over the city.

"I just wanted to talk to you a little." I sighed and rubbed at my temples. He's been trying to talk to me nonstop and it's getting tiring. I thought he would try to apologize for the incident and we would make up and be friends.

"Is this about the break up?" I ask him to shrug and come closer causing me to hold my hand signaling him to stop. 

"Well y-yes but hear me out-" He came closer and I stepped back from him ready to run out the door if needed. Last time he tried to talk to me about getting back together he cornered me in the girls bathroom during lunch. The only reason he left me alone was because of MJ coming in since I was taking a long time.

"Stop, okay we already talked about this, Peter leave me alone." I let out that I was so frustrated with him trying to get back together. I get why he wouldn't want to be friends anymore but why can't he get that I don't want to be with a manipulative person.

"Why don't you ever call me Pete anymore.." He mumbled out but I ignored him and turned around to leave but he stopped me.

"DON'T GO, just- just listen to me please." He grabbed my wrist trying to pull me deeper into my room.

"Okay fine, go ahead." The second I agree his eyes light up as he begins to get his words together. I take out my hair tie rubbing my scalp with my fingers. 

"T-thank you. Okay, I know we have past problems but I'm willing to change for you." I rolled my eyes. I already know manipulation 101 and this was going down the path of promises but I know Peter when we get back together he's still going to keep me if anything this will make him hold on tighter to me.  

"Peter... No. I'm sorry, okay but I don't want a relationship with you." He looked at me and frowned, making his mask break a little. 

"You're not leaving, you just don't get it yet. It's fine I'll show you." He mumbled his brows furrowed before he looked back up before reaching at my wrist.

"No! Let me go! We're not doing this again Peter!" I yelled at him. I never liked raising my voice especially at Peter but he never listens.

"You just need to listen and you'll see we're perfect together." He tugged harder on me causing me to fall into his chest. He was pulling me towards the chair where I noticed some rope on my carpet.

I started panicking and struggled more "LET ME GOOO!" I screamed as his hand came down and covered my mouth, throwing me against the nightstand.

I slowly pick up my heavy head and look around the dark room. Moonlight leaked through the ends of the curtains. Even through the darkness I could still see Peters form sitting in a chair in front of me. His head was turned to the window just blankly staring at the covered glass.

I started screaming the cloth in my mouth making it harder. You could still hear my voice erupt loudly no matter what. His head shoots in my direction almost immediately as he covers my mouth and nose with his large hand. My eyes were wide like his but his were more frantic.

"Shhh everythings fine, I'm going to take this off okay." He motioned to the panties stuffed in my mouth but stopped and looked to the side. "But if you make any noise I'm going to have to use this, okay?" He took out a knife from his pocket and showed me a loose grip. He placed it between his legs and took the fabric from my mouth and tossed it on the bed.

"You're fucking crazy." I said in a quiet voice trying not to sound too loud. He frowned and rubbed my cheeks gathering his next words.

"No, I'm just in love with you." He smiled and stood up taking his knife with him. "It's your fault you know, you made me this way." I looked at him with distaste that he was blaming me for his psychoticness. 

"Peter, this isn't love, it's an obsession." He comes towards me shaking his head mumbling 'no'. His hand grabs my face tilting up so I can see his wide pupils. If you looked hard enough you might even see hearts. 

"I'm not obsessed or delusional, you're the crazy one thinking that we aren't soul mates~." He looked like an over-excited kid on Christmas. I'm almost surprised he didn't purr from his own words.

"Just please let me go Pete." I said I was trying my best to get on his good side. He rotated his head around and signed in pleasure before facing me.

"I love when you call me that, say it again." His hands enclosed me and he leaned down so his head was at the same height as mine. I stay silent and turn my vision to the ground. "I SAID SAY IT AGAIN!" He screamed at me, his spit falling with his words.

"PETE, Pete..." I said and trailed off fear consuming my words like they consumed my body. He smiled again and started humming his hand petting my head like he didn't just scream at me.

"Good girl, you're my good girl aren't you? I mean you haven't even tried to move on or talked to anybody else. You must still love me." He looked at me with a delirious expression as he waited for my answer.

"I don't" I whispered trying to remain confident with a psycho in front of me. Not to mention the outline of the knife in his jacket pocket.

"Yes, you do, we're soulmates destined to be together forever. In every reality are souls are connected because we were one in the past." I couldn't help the tears well up in my eyes from the fear and uneasiness I'm feeling. I felt stuck in a hole that no one could hear me through. Like I was hopeless, nothing I could do but live with that sinking feeling deep in my stomach.

"N-no we're not, this whole situation is crazy don't you get that?!!" I tried knocking sense into him but he kept that strange lovesick smile on face almost as if he didn't hear me. Maybe he didn't; he was just too lost in his fantasy.

"Do you think we'll have the prettiest children? Think about it, my eyes with your lips." His finger dragged down my lip as it bumped against it causing it to go back to its place quickly. "Well any feature on you really... You're just so beautiful, if your personality was genetic then I hope they get all of it." He was smiling like a maniac going on about how he was excited to start a family with me. He began mumbling stuff about how Tony would be so proud of him becoming a dad and how our children would call him 'Uncle Tony' or something.

I knew the chances of me escaping were low with how lost he was in some fantasy of knocking me up not to mention how he's a superhero. God no one would believe me and that's if I even escape a web swinging maniac. What if we are soulmates and he would treat me right? Take care of me during pregnancy. I won't have to worry about money. The price is just my freedom and happiness but maybe I'll grow to love him like I did once so I can again right? 

Or maybe I can escape if I have to be away.... Maybe I can be just as lovesick as him. He won't know the difference between real feelings and fake ones. He's too out of it. I look up at him and smile, catching him off guard as he stops talking and smiles back at me. "Yeah, it would be amazing if they had your cute little nose! I can't imagine how beautiful they would be with your hair!" He was booming so much he leaned in and connected our lips. 

"See you're finally getting it." He whispered beside my head his nose sniffing my neck he pulled away his hair was more disheveled really highlighting how off the rails he has gotten during this. 

"Can I kiss you again?" I ask him to light and don't waste time connecting our lips. I smile fasley into it. He sees me struggling against the restraints "I want to put my hands in your hair but I can't." I pouted and he immediately reached for the restraints. Once they were free he kissed me hard tugging me from the chair and against him. He picked up my leg and dragged me to him and did the same with the other hooking them around his waist.

He pushed me into the bed slowly kissing down my neck, his warm body resting between my legs. He pushed his jacket off and threw it beside me. He began trailing down to my spread legs and slid my pants down my legs. While he was kissing my thighs he seemed distracted so I reached my hand into his pocket finding nothing. I retracted and he pulled my underwear down making me take a deep breath. My lower region was now exposed, this started to feel like it was getting harder to put my plan into action.

He spread my legs more before his touch licked my folds. My head fell back, fuck I had forgotten how good it feels to have him between my legs. His large hands kept my legs from closing as he sucked on my clit. I reached for the jacket again checking the other pocket. I felt a cold solid object. I pulled it under my side so he wouldn't see it. I was trying to open it as two of his fingers made their way inside of me.

"Fuck Peter." I moaned out he kept a steady motion then went increasingly faster. I tried to focus on opening the knife but my high felt closer. 

I came against his mouth as I opened the knife the sound of my moaning covering up the click. He fixed his position over me again, making me hide the knife, the tip of it scratching against my back. He pulled his shirt over his head and pulled down his sweats. He kissed me deeply then took my shirt off taking the knife with it. He positioned his cock in front of my folds. I really wanted to feel his cock in me, maybe it wouldn't be so bad...

He shoved himself inside of me hissing out some curse words. "See how perfectly we fit together? It's because we're meant to be-" He trailed off as he gave a hard thrust sending me to be pushed up. "Fuck I can't get enough of your plush pussy, so warm and sweet." My hands clawed down his back, his veiny dick scratching my insides felt so nice. I could feel his tip push against my cervix with every rough thrust.

His hot breath layered itself against my neck, the heat of our bodies making me feel warm "Can I cum in you? You feel so m' good." His hips kept stuttering against my pelvis. I nodded in a blind reaction as my orgasm hit. He pushed against me again and came painting my velvet walls white. 

His breathing was ragged as he looked up and pushed hair from my face. "You're even more beautiful now that you're mine." I looked up at his sweaty face and realized I am his i'll never escape from him but I do love him right?

TCL 2x02 recap

Guess who’s back with even more thoughts?? 2x02 time let’s gooo

Ugghhhh the location of this ‘prison’ is gonna haunt me I stg. These damn hills are so familiar to me and yet I cannot pinpoint where the bloody thing is. Looks like this will be on my list to hunt down next year ugh 

Okay all of these security checks seem excessive when there is literally going to be a glass barrier between them anyway?? Also last ep Nadia got to bring in her bag but it seems like Thony didn’t? C'mon show I need consistency here lol. Tbh I’m sad that they don’t get to use the visitation room from 1x10 anymore, bc lbr we all know how much I wanted them to be able to touch their feet together under the table bc they can't hold hands lol

Anyway the important thing is that my boy is back on his feet, which makes me want to know how long has passed since his attack? Like a week? Seems like an appropriate amount of time to recover from multiple stab wounds and to be back in GenPop… tbh it can’t really be longer than a week given the state of his facial swelling. Also I’m gonna assume that he and Thony haven’t spoken since the call last ep, but he’s probably been able to speak to Nadia, and she has passed on updates to both sides?? So Thony knows about the attack, and he knows about Marco, even if neither of them have details?

But oh man the utter dismay on Thony’s face when she sees him, this is what I live forrrr. Did he know that his visitor was her? Or did he assume it was Nadia, and that’s why he looked like he was steeling himself to deal with her drama (lbr, she’s highly-strung lol) when he walked in?? But ugh instead he seems to slump a little and gives a sigh when he sits down across from her; he looks so tired and I love that he doesn’t have to hide that in front of her the way he would for Nadia 

“Look what they did to you”-- omg. This is literally the closest to wearing her heart on her sleeve that Thony has ever gotten and I'm dying?? The emotion in it?? The very not-platonic intensity??? Ngl I also love that her first words are such an inane statement, like she is literally so overwhelmed rn that she can barely even do words. (especially since the words that were probably screaming in her head from the moment she saw him were some very intense ones in Khmer, and I would have died to have heard her speak those aloud lol) 

But wait wtf excuse me how dare the scene cut there??? That better not be all we get or I will riot???

Also ugh Garrett. I don’t caaaare about you. Although it is handy that our baes are still able to go ahead and bribe the judge lol. Wait, Russo is leaving to go to Miami? I wonder if this is a plot thing or a ‘the actor wants out’ thing?? I will actually miss her ugh

Oh thank god we’re back at the prison. (words that people other than me probably never say lol). And okay I love that she literally came to visit Arman the moment he was out of the infirmary, even before Nadia it seems?? And ugh he asks about Luca (again, I’m assuming he already knew about Marco through Nadia, and lbr I’m probably going to do a fill-in fic for the rest of the conversation at some point lol) but anyway oh lord “how are you holding up?” and THEN “I feel like I’ve failed everyone” followed by DIRECT EYE CONTACT and ugghhhhh he knows she’s not just talking about Marco and Luca anymore and god he looks like he wants to hug her so badly (that little head tilt as he leans in?? help??) and he immediately makes it clear that he doesn’t blame her and she shouldn’t blame herself either ughhh. Also I love the choice the writers made here by having him be so soft when reassuring Thony and then only getting sharp/frustrated when talking about Nadia hahaha

“Be careful in here”/“That’s not how you survive”-- Wow, what a great character study in only a handful of words?? Also this feels like it’s going to be one of the themes this season, like the S2 version of “not the right way or the wrong way, but any way you can”. But oh man poor Thony is going to be extra worried about him now… as she watched him walk away, was she suddenly afraid that this might be the last time she'd ever see him alive??

Garrett has a very impressive habit of showing up where he’s not wanted. (Although to be fair, he’s not wanted anywhere, so…). Ngl though it does look kinda bad for her to be visiting Arman at this point in time given that she’s meant to be the grieving widow. Also “I know you had nothing to do with your husband’s death” sure sounds a lot like “I suspect that you had something to do with your husband’s death” lol. But he actually genuinely does seem to want to help her still, which he chooses to do by not shutting up about her staying away from Arman. Good luck with that one, buddy. God I love how pissed she looks when he brushes off Arman’s attack as ‘bad guys taking each other out’ omg. Honestly how was I ever afraid that this show would try to pull a Garrett/Thony/Arman love triangle, she literally cannot stand him like 90% of the time and it’s glorious hahahahaaaaaaa

“I’m here because Arman saved Luca’s life, and he deserves to know that he’s safe”. omg. Thony. That is… that is so incredibly weak?? like at least come up with a better explanation?? She literally basically went with “oh yeah my boss helped get surgery for my son like a two and a half weeks ago so now I am visiting him in prison to tell him that my son is now safe and sound after being abducted by his now-dead father, which was an event that by all accounts he should have had no idea about in the first place.” WHY WOULD THIS CONCERN YOUR TOTALLY PLATONIC ‘BOSS’, THONY? Like god you are doing an amazing job of announcing to Garrett that yours and Arman’s relationship is far more than just professional (though lbr, they all already know this lol.)

Oh hi again, ABQ airport!  I remember you well haha. Also omg Fi’s dad is so little? And her mum is beautiful, wow– though she really doesn’t look much older than Fi herself haha. This is going to irk me a tiny bit but I guess I can roll with the idea she had kids very young?? And damn Thony really is persona non grata with these guys huh? So much for “my mother always loved you more than me” like Fi said in early S1… 

Oh wow it feels weird to get subtitles for the Tagalog?? I’m so used to the show making us just figure it out ourselves. But I guess they were a bit more necessary to follow the plot this time. Also the cheerfulness/excitement of the greeting at home feels a bit weird considering they’re there because of a death in the family, but I guess it is a pretty special reunion/first meeting all the same? Man bereavement is weird.

Okay I am going to need to go back and look at kitchen scenes from S1 bc I stg there wasn’t a door there before. And who has a front door that opens directly into the kitchen anyway?? But I do like the look of this Detective Flores, she seems badass (and that accent is hot), even if her presence is immediately stressful lol. I'll ignore the fact that there's no way it would have taken a detective this long to come and question Thony about Marco though, it's been like a week!! Anyway I love that after the extremely uncomfortable response to her questioning/accidentally starting a family fight she’s like ‘ok yeah I’mma go’ and Thony is immediately like ‘oh god thank you’ lolll 

Okay potentially unpopular opinion here, but I just can’t see Nadia and Robert as being a thing?? I mean I could believe that they were previously together (he’s handsome and rich, and Nadia is very attracted to power, after all), but they don’t have the chemistry of two people who were once in love. He has more the vibe of someone who is looking at something he once possessed and wants to add back to his collection, not someone who actually genuinely cared about her. And tbh I think Naveen is amazing but I just don’t think he was the right casting for this role at all. But idk who knows, maybe he’ll change my mind.  I guess I was just hoping for someone amazing who would really sweep Nadia off her feet and out of the way of Armony lol

I enjoy this guy’s comment about Arman ‘taking the crown’-- feels like a nod to 1x10 (“The Crown” lol). Also lbr I would want to have Arman on my prison crew too lol. But oh shit he’s really gonna go after Hayak??

I don’t even have kids and I’m annoyed on Thony’s behalf at Lolo trying to parent her child for her lol. Shut your face, buddy, you can’t exactly give parenting advice when your son turned out to be an asshole and your daughter moved to another country to be away from you. Also, telling her she spoils Luca? Pot calling the kettle black much??

“Everything I did, I did for my son” man those words are starting to sound almost worn out now, like she’s repeated them so many times by this point– but lbr we all know that that’s not the whole truth Thony. But awww at Fi defending her, I love these sisters-by-choice <3

“You made my son feel like he was not enough” excuse me that sounds like a Marco problem, not a Thony problem??? God why don’t people just go to goddamn therapy and stop blaming everyone else for their own shit?? Also HELL NO you are not taking Luca back to the philippines lol, I legit dare you to try get him away from Thony the Mama Bear without losing a limb lol

Huh Thony’s bed is gone?? Did they move it while the guests are there or has she been sleeping in with Luca now that he doesn’t need the infection control anymore??

Oooh I found this location (where Chris sits on the curb after riding his bike) too! Literally recognised the building from a distance while driving on the interstate haha. Though it's a shame I didn't realise that it was the curb itself that was the important part lol. I also love that there are literally crew in the background of the shot while he was riding the bike lol, I haven’t seen the show have an ‘error’ like that before

Super cool shot with the train going past in the background! Still pissed I can’t figure out where the prison is haha. Also goddamn Arman is badass, casually sitting there bleeding through his shirt while staring Hayak down. We stan a sexy ruthless king lol

Aw, looks like Thony got her buddha necklace back from Garrett in the end! I kind of also love that she’s wearing it too bc I’m certain that Marco and his parents are catholic lol. What a power move/symbol that she follows her own path rather than theirs. Also it’s interesting to learn that Marco was a few years older than Fi– he was such a brat that I assumed he was the younger brother until she referred to him by ‘Kuya” (a term for an older brother/relative) in the last ep...

Nadia’s voice sounds deeper and older on this phone call?? Maybe alll this stress with Arman has aged her lol.  I really do feel for her… but not enough to not be cheering for Armony haha

Damn Thony really is desperate to keep Arman safe if she is risking missing her own husband’s funeral to help get him out?? That’s what you call endgaaaaame lol

I cannot stress enough how much I do not care about Garrett and Maya lol  *mentally fast forwards through scene*

Robert: *brusquely gestures at Thony with a pool cue*  Me: oh I think I hate him? Robert: *makes Thony strip off right in front of him, and even makes her let him help undress her*  Me: oh I definitely 100% hate him IMMEDIATELY AND FOREVER. Honestly, what an absolute bastard. Nadia is way too good for him, how could she ever even consider being with him again?? I’m so incredibly pissed about this moment for many reasons, mostly from the act of emotional violence that it is, and oh man I hope Arman finds out about it and tears Robert apart with his bare hands for disrespecting Thony like that…

Ngl though, I kind of do love that she clearly only went through with it bc it was for Arman. Our girl really is ride or die for him ugh. Also, “No one pays attention to the cleaning lady”-- except Arman did, from the moment he saw you. Ugghh help me. And ugh Robert talking about making her clean stressed me out so much. I hate this creep SO MUCH. 

“You remind me of [Marco]”-- not the compliment you think it is, Lola. Poor Chris is having a Bad Time lol

Feeling super annoyed that this incredibly unrealistic prison infirmary setup is preventing me from enjoying shirtless Arman undisturbed lol (because holy hell, Thony needs to burn all of this man’s shirts so we get treated to this view all the time haha). But yeah, as someone who has worked (admittedly, only briefly) in a prison infirmary in the past, this setup is legit ridiculous lol. But then again, it is the US, so maybe that's just how things are done over there haha

“No one can pin me down” / “Unfortunately, neither could your wife” okay dude I don’t want Russo to leave, the only good part of Garrett’s scenes are when she (or Thony) is absolutely dragging him lol

Nadia speaks French?? That’s hot. (As is everything she does, lbr.)

Wait, is Garrett at the funeral bc he suspects Thony has something to do with the money? Or with Marco’s death? Or did he come intending to pay his respects but then got a weird vibe? Like dude why do you keep showing up everywhere, I’m sick of your face

That’s one very expensive orchid.

Okay I cannot believe that this show not only gave us shirtless Arman being patched up (ps dear prison doctor, I will trade places with you any time), but it also gave us an entire shirtless fight scene in the showers??? The TCL writers are benevolent gods and I am their most grateful subject lol. Ngl I may have paused this scene quite a bit… for, uh, science. Also bless you wonderful gifmakers for already taking care of this lol. Tbh I'm slightly upset about the fact that this ep gave us the gloriousness that is both Thony and Arman half-naked, and yet it was in totally separate (and somewhat unfortunate) scenes lol. A goddamn tragedy tbh. And ok ngl I now have a sudden desperate need for Thony to see Arman shirtless.... c'mon writers you know you wanna do it

Anyway, respect to Hayak for actually taking on Arman himself, though we all know he wouldn’t have dared if Arman wasn’t already significantly wounded lol. He knows he’s outmatched otherwise. Also daaamn, the knot on this freaking towel is the strongest thing in the universe apparently?? lol. Another tragedy haha. And okay I know I’m going on and on about this, but literally HOW was he so unsupervised in the infirmary that he could possibly get hold of something like that??  (What is it supposed to be, anyway?? Bc I know what medications are likely to be stored in a cupboard like that and I know what medications could conceivably kill that fast and there is not a whole lot of crossover there lol) 

But anyway yeah the whole syringe thing is ridiculous but I will roll with it lol. Just as i will ignore the even more ridiculous “I always loved you more than my own son” hahahaha. (Tbh there’s been a little bit of cliched dialogue in this ep but I will overlook it out of love).  But damn, “It won’t be long now. Your heart will seize and it’ll be done” actually does sound pretty badass?? Moral of the story, DO NOT FUCK WITH ARMAN MORALES lol 

(although ok I gotta question how he’s not going to get caught for this murder? Any death in custody gets an automatic autopsy, and they’ll find the injection site, and surely there’s cameras around the infirmary that show he was just there earlier, soooo? But nvm it’s fiction so *shrug*)

Man the dynamic between Chris and Luca is going to be so fascinating now. And imagine like an 18 year old Luca finding out that his cousin-brother killed his father? Tho lbr by that point Arman will be the only father he remembers :P

 I like Fi’s mum and I love that Fi finally got to hear that she’s proud of her, but tbh I still can’t excuse the terrible parenting for Fi’s whole life. “We thought that you were stronger” BRO SHE WAS A CHILD??? Good lord.  

The dad though??? Like I know all too well the impact that grief and loss can have, but damn the entitlement of him wanting to basically steal Luca to use him as a do-over of Marco? Gross. And acting like Luca’s connection to him through Marco gives him more of a right to have Luca than Luca’s own mother???? C’mon now. So glad Thony called him out on it and put her foot down, even if the issue didn’t actually get clearly resolved….   

Okay EXCUSE ME WHAT. Are the writers kidding me with this imagery of Arman leaving his prison and walking free out into the light, overlaid with Thony reciting a sacrament so fitting that it could have been written solely for him???? I feel like I fucking ascended to a higher plane during this scene, bc jesus christ I have been to some of the most famous places of worship in the world and yet none of them felt as holy as my couch did while I experienced this moment. Not only did it have that sense of connected-even-at-a-distance that the ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’ scene in 1x07 evoked, but it took it even further, because even though this scene very clearly involved them engaging with their respective spouses (indirectly in Thony’s case of course), it was undeniably an Armony scene, and I’m sorry but I am going to be an utter mess about this forever?? And the fact that the writers chose to have Nadia remove his sunglasses– symbolically removing a ‘mask’ and letting him see the light– rather than showing the two of them kissing (even though I’m sure they probably did kiss, only moments later, though I’m grateful we didn’t have to see it lol) was legit incredible and have I mentioned I’m in love with this entire writers’ room or??????

Ugh okay that's all for now, but I guess I'll see you all next week for more of this show sending me literally insane. Help.

part 2

~ some 18+ content below - read at your own risk ~

You stand outside of BelaRosa Banquet Hall and stare up at the building. You know what's waiting for you inside.

While you've managed to avoid him at Full Sail, it won't be as easy to avoid him here. At least at Full Sail, you can hide in your dressing room. At BelaRosa Banquet Hall, there's nowhere to hide. Except maybe the bathroom. He's too much of a gentleman to walk into a women's restroom.

"Hey, girlie," you hear Candice LeRae say behind you. You glance back to see her walking up to the door with Johnny Gargano by her side. "Why are you still out here? You should be inside."

You say, "I'm trying to talk myself into going in. It's taking me longer than I thought."

Candice hooks her arm with yours and she says, "You know he doesn't like coming to these events. He probably won't even be here."

Anxiety hits you like a train as you say, "He's NXT Champion, Candice. There's no way that he's not here."

"That's a good point," she says. "I used to wrestle men so I won't be afraid to hit him or hurricanrana him so please come inside and sit with me and Johnny."

That gets a light laugh out of you. You give in and say, "Fine. You better hold your promise to hurrincanrana him if he comes near me."

Candice laughs and the three of you walk inside. "I promise," she says.

The banquet hall is huge and already full of NXT wrestlers and staff members. William Regal is even here. So is Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Shawn Michaels. If they're here then he definitely is.

You join Candice at a table with Tegan Nox, Dakota Kai, Raquel Gonzalez, Tommaso Ciampa, Tyler Breeze, and Fandango.

"Hey, Y/N!" Tegan says, patting the seat beside her. "Sit here. I didn't think we'd be seeing you."

Laughing, you say, "I decided to show up and not let a breakup dictate my life anymore."

Candice says, "She was standing outside the building for who knows how long when I showed up. Who knows if she would have walked in if it wasn't for me."

Everyone at the table kind of laughs.

The banquet hall is full of Christmas and holiday themed decorations. Garland hands all over the place with a large Christmas tree in one of the corners of the room. Wreaths are scattered throughout the room. The tables all have little Santa or snowman figurines as decoration.

"I love that dress, Y/N," Dakota compliments. "Very pretty."

The decision to come to this party was so last minute that you had to grab a dress from your closet instead of buying something new like most people did. The dress you're wearing is a short satin silver dress with spaghetti straps that crisscross each other on your back. The neck dips a little low, revealing a small amount of cleavage. You wear matching silver heels. Your Y/H/C colored hair is up in a messy bun on top of your head.

"Thank you, Kota," you say, smiling kindly at her.

The party goes well until dinner is served in buffet form. You're making your way down the line when someone says, "It's nice to see ya, Y/N. It's been a while."

You'd know that accent anywhere. That Irish accent that made you weak in the knees every time you heard it. Your suspicions are confirmed when you look to your left to see Finn Balor grabbing some mashed potatoes.

"Wish I could say the same," is all you say before grabbing a roll and some butter before walking off.

You sigh as you sit down, angry and frustrated that he even had the nerve to come up to you and say that it's nice to see you. You eat angrily.

Candice notices you and asks, "What's going on? You seem angry."

"I'm not," you snap. "Angry. I'm not angry."

Johnny chimes in and says, "Your vegetables say differently. Did he say something to you? I saw him standing next to you."

You look up at Johnny and say, "He said it was nice to see me, as if he didn't cheat on me several times then play victim every time I would find out."

Candice looks at you, upset that he even talked to you.

Tegan gives you a hug and says, "We won't let him talk to you again, Y/N. That was the first and last time he will talk to you tonight."

Dinner and dessert go by pretty much quickly and easily. Finn doesn't approach you while you eat.

After dinner and dessert, Candice and Johnny go off to dance. Raquel and Dakota go talk to Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley. Tyler and Dango go talk to Adam Cole and the Undisputed Era. Tommaso goes and mingles. That leaves you and Tegan at the table.

Tegan is in the middle of telling you a story about her dog as the two of you sip off your alcoholic drink when Finn approaches you again.

"I'd really like to talk with ya for a second, Y/N," he says. "Please."

You sigh and ask, "What part of 'I never want to talk to you again' didn't you understand?"

Tegan jumps in and says, "Take a hint, Finn. She doesn't want to talk."

Finn looks at you and says, "Just for a few minutes. Then ya can go back to hating my guts."

You turn and look up at Finn, meeting his eyes. "When I said to never talk to me again, I meant it, Finn," you say, growing more and more frustrated.

"It's just a two-minute long conversation, Y/N," he says. "Come on."

Tegan looks at you and you look at her. She says, "Get it out of the way that way you can enjoy the rest of your night."

Sighing, you look back up at Finn and say, "Fine. You have only two minutes."

He looks at Tegan before saying, "Alone. I want to talk to ya alone."

Rolling your eyes, you get out of your seat. Finn walks off to a more private and quieter part of the banquet hall.

"What do you want, Finn?" you ask. "Here to tell me how much you want me back and wish you never cheated?"

He says, "I'm getting married." You're surprised by these three words. "I wanted to make peace with the people I've hurt the most before I got married. Starting with ya."

You look up at Finn and say, "I'm not forgiving you any time soon, Finn. You hurt me so many times."

Finn says, "I don't expect ya to forgive me, Y/N. I'm just trying to make peace with ya so ya stop being smart when I talk to ya at work. I understand that I hurt ya and are mad at me-"

You cut him off and say, "You don't understand. If you understood then you wouldn't have cheated on me multiple times. I'm not just mad, I'm furious. I feel like the past six years were a waste of my time because of you. I loved you. I loved you so much that it hurt me. I took you back when you begged and pleaded because I believed you when you told me you wouldn't cheat again. I gave you chance after chance to make it up to me and just when you did, I'd find out that you cheated again. So no, you don't understand, Finn."

He hangs his head in shame as you speak. He knows that what he did was wrong. Now he's trying to right this wrong.

Finn waits until you're done talking before he says, "I understand what I did was wrong. I've grown and reflected in the past year, Y/N. I've met someone I'm happy with. I've met someone who's kind and beautiful and hasn't judged me because of my past. I've met someone who is nothing compared to ya. I know ya won't forgive me but I want ya back in my life because this whole ignoring me then being smart when we've talked sucks."

You squint your eyes at Finn and say, "Then maybe you shouldn't have cheated."

"I wish I didn't, Y/N!" Finn says, raising his voice. "Believe it or not but I did regret it every time. I hid it because I didn't want us to be in this exact situation."

You raise your voice and say, "Then maybe you should have just told me if you regretted it instead of hiding it! Hiding it did nothing but fuel my anger and hatred toward you. For the past year I have hated you, I have been angry at you, but most of all, I have loved you every second. It's frustrating, Finn! It's frustrating loving you when all you did was hurt me. Last Christmas, when you told me you cheated again, it broke my heart breaking up with you and honestly, I waited to see if you would come back but you never did. Instead you went out and got engaged, and it's not to me."

You've started crying by this point as you let out everything you've been feeling toward Finn for the past year. Everything comes spilling out as you talk.

Meanwhile, Finn's quiet. He's listening and taking it every single word you're saying. He wants to understand.

After sighing and wiping the tears away, you say, "All I wanted was for you to grown and think about your actions. That's all I wanted. Maybe I would have taken you back or tried again at a relationship with you if you came to me and talked to me instead of getting engaged. Now you're getting married and all I can think about is how proud I am of you and happy I am for you while being upset and angry with you."

A wave of sadness comes over Finn after you're done speaking. He finally realizes how much he's hurt you. He realizes his choices haven't been the best over the past few years.

Hesitantly, he reaches out and wipes away your mascara stained tears. Subconsciously, you lean into his touch and close your eyes.

Finn says softly, "I wanted to go back to ya, Y/N. I truly did, but I thought that I'd hurt ya too much and that ya wouldn't even listen to what I had to say. I've loved ya from afar this past year. There's always been a spot for ya in my heart, Y/N."

You look up at Finn, meeting his eyes. You cry, "If I had seen that you had grown and reflected and thought about everything then I would have listened. I'm listening now and I can see how much you've changed, Finn. I can see how genuine and sincere you are."

He looks down at you with a sad expression on his face. He tucks a loose strand of hair behind your ear as he says, "I'm so sorry, Y/N. I truly am."

Eye contact remains as you say the words Finn's been wanting to hear for months. "I forgive you, Finn," is what you say.

He brings his forehead down to yours and he whispers, "I want one thing."

"What's that?" you ask, your voice quiet.

Finn says, "I want a last kiss. Just so we can both move on from this and grow as friends."

You stare up at Finn and say, "I can't do that. You have a fiancée, Finn. Don't do to her what you've done to me."

He nods and looks away, clearly upset.

You would do anything to kiss him again. His kisses always gave you butterflies, no matter where the kisses were on your body. His mustache would always tickle your lip when you kissed him.

You know what, you think to yourself. One last kiss won't be the end of the world.

"Finn," you say, getting his attention.

The Irishman looks at you. You wait a second before hesitantly kissing Finn softly. You squeeze your eyes so the last few years escape and roll down your cheeks as Finn kisses you back.

This is it. The official end of a six year relationship. You're both finally moving on. Finn's getting married and you finally have the closure you never thought you needed as your lips move more and more passionately against Finn's.

Both of you suddenly find yourselves not wanting to pull away from the kiss. Your hands slide up and rest on the back of Finn's neck as you continue kissing him. His hands rest on your waist.

Finn walks so he's pressing you against the wall in the hallway. His large frame pins you against the cream colored wall.

He leans down and picks you up by your thighs, pressing your back against the wall as you wrap your legs around his waist.

It's when his lips leave yours and attach to your neck that you say, "Finn. This isn't just a kiss anymore."

He looks at you and says, "I don't want it to be just a kiss."

"I don't want it either but it has to be," you say. "That's all it can be."

Finn kisses your lips again, this time more passionately and intensely than before. "Stay the night with me," he mumble against your lips. "Please."

In between kisses, you say, "You're getting married, Finn. I can't."

He says, "Ya can. Ya just don't want to."

You pull back and put your hands on Finn's face, holding him there. "Trust me, I want to," you say. "You have no idea how much I want to."

Finn pleads, "Then come home with me. I still live in that tiny apartment. My fiancée doesn't live with me. One last night together won't be the end of the world. If my fiancée finds out and leaves then we get what we both want in the end. Each other."

"That's a toxic way to think, Finn," you point out.

He says, "I know, but I love ya more than I'll ever love her. It's always been ya for me, Y/N."

Your mind begins to race. Do you go back to Finn's and get what you both want? Do you call it a night and maybe regret not going back to Finn's?

No matter what you choose, you'll probably regret in the future. Plus the hope of one day being with him again is the reason you say, "One last night. That's it. That's all you get from me."

Finn pecks your lips and smiles before putting you down and taking you back to his apartment.

As soon as you're back in his apartment, the clothes come off and they stay off until sunrise the next day. You spend all of Christmas Eve mending a broken relationship between you and Finn.

It's a terrible way to fix a broken relationship but you hope it works because you want Finn back in your life. No, you need Finn back in your life.

You just hope things don't get more complicated than they already are after the one last night with Finn.
