It's Will that gives him the idea.
"we don't really celebrate father's day anymore," he had said awkwardly, "but I can't hang out anyway."
"why not?" Dustin demanded. He was gonna end up bored and alone because he didn't celebrate the holiday and everyone else had plans. he had been counting on Will to keep him company.
"I'm gonna get Jonathan a new record and I want to listen to it with him," he said.
"can't he get his own records? C'mon, we could go to the arcade or something."
"no, Dustin," his tone took on a stubborn edge that made Dustin pause. "He's my brother and I love him, and he's the only guy besides Bob who's ever even tried to look out for me. So I'm sorry but I'm gonna be busy on Sunday."
Dustin didn't argue after that but it did get him thinking which is why on Sunday morning he biked all the way over to Loch Nora and started banging on Steve's door.
"what do you want, Henderson?" Steve sighed the most dramatic put upon sigh Dustin had ever heard.
"you're not my dad--"
"wow you really are genius!"
"shut up, shut up, listen to me!"
"okay, geez, I'm listening."
"you're not my dad and I don't want you to be my dad. I don't even really want a dad! Lots of dads aren't even that great and my mom already has the single parent thing down. But you taught me how to do my hair and how to talk to girls - even though that advice sucked, I didn't need it to get Suzie at all - and you're gonna teach me how to drive--"
"woah, hey, no I never said I'd do that, wh--"
"--and you've saved my life but I think we're even because I've saved your life too."
"Henderson don't you have anything better to do than harass me in my own home?" Steve said. he was using that exasperated tone he got when he knew he wasn't keeping up with what was going on but didn't want to admit it.
"actually no I don't but I'm here for a reason," he reached into his backpack and took out the gift he clumsily wrapped with scraps of brown paper bags. He shoved it into Steve's hands. "You're basically the only adult male figure in my life. And I appreciate you."
Steve squinted at the gift and then at Dustin and at the gift again before he said fussily "is this a prank? If something gross explodes from this, I swear to god, I'll--"
"Just open it, Steve!"
"Fine, fine, keep your shirt on," Steve said and tore off the paper. He blinked and in a softer tone said, "Oh."
"I don't know if you even like making models but I know you love cars and this kit looked just like yours, so yeah."
Steve stared at the kit some more. Dustin started to fidget. It was always better to be honest with your feelings but maybe this was too much for Steve. Maybe Steve didn't like him as much as Dustin did. Steve was not as enlightened about these things as Dustin.
"I've never made a model before."
Dustin hunched his shoulders and tried not to feel stupid or hurt. He should have expected this. They weren't even related. This was probably too weird. He reached out to take the gift back.
"it's fine, I can return it, whatever."
Steve raised the kit out of Dustin's reach.
"Hey, this is mine," he said.
"you don't even like it!"
"I never said that! I'm just gonna need a dweeby little nerd to help me build it. You know anybody like that?" Steve asked, batting his eyes innocently.
"you're such a dick," Dustin grumbled, fighting back a grin.
"watch your language!"
"shut up, you're not my dad."
Steve laughed as Dustin shoved his way into the house. Hours later, after much shouting and ribbing and one incident of spilled paint, a small model of the beemer was left to dry while Steve forced Dustin to watch the baseball game on TV with him. It wasn't the worst thing ever, and after Steve mentioned the statistics involved, it got way more interesting ("of course you'd like the math part, you weirdo" "you don't understand the stats do you" "shut up and watch the game, Henderson"). When the paint was dry, Dustin followed Steve upstairs and watched him carefully and deliberately place the model between a couple of sports trophies.
"yeah, I guess it looks pretty cool," Steve said with exaggerated nonchalance. "Now beat it, kid. your mom's gonna freak if you're not home when she gets back from work."
"can you give me a ride?"
"ugh, fine."
Dustin grinned. This had been, hands down, the best father's day ever. From the look on Steve's face when he placed the model, Dustin was pretty sure he agreed.
#stranger things#steve is an honorary henderson#steve harrington#dustin henderson#trensu tells stories#i almost forgot i had this in my drafts!!#i wanted to wait to post on actual father's day but i was busy all day#(went to a cubs game with my dearest friend and it was so good omg)#(definitely worth the headache that hit me when i got home)#the smart thing would've been to schedule the post but why would i do that lol#anyway there's still an hour's worth of father's day left so it counts

Limitless (through the night)
Author: orshii
Pairing: biker! Choi San x female reader
Warnings: cursing, brief mention of death
Word count: 11,5 k
Summary: You have broken the rules, again. The punishment? Youâre moving in with your father, sent back to your hometown which you had grown to be a stranger to. What happens when old affairs return in the form of Choi San? The only guy you wished to forever avoid, the guy who was a menace and always knew which buttons to push.
Will he put aside your differences and help you out when you get in trouble again?
A/N: Wow, I guess I'm here again...Ever since I saw these pictures of San, I'm obsessed with it, so a story kinda popped out of my mind lol. Like, I'll just never get over biker San pls, he drives me crazy, and I don't like it (lie). Anyways, thank you for my talented bestie @bvidzsoo for helping me a lot. I'm really a newbie to this whole writing and Tumblr world so, ly bestie hehet. Please, enjoy! I'mma be back soon, with a Hongjoong series too, lmao. Okay, byee, xoxo, orshii. (divider)
Moving to a new place could excite you due to all the new opportunities coming your way, alongside with new people, which may become your new friends.
In my case it wasn't like this. I was moving back to my hometown, which I have left almost ten years ago, leaving behind my father and all the people who I was once close with.
Now, I'm on my way back to my father, back to the house where we once were a happy family. My mother left my father, because it seemed like my father cheated on her. But the actual truth was that she just wanted to escape from this little town. She had no opportunities here, so she just blamed everything on him to have a reason to leave this shitty little town behind, alongside with me. I was only 10 years old, I did not understand back then what the hell was happening, so I just went with her. We moved to a bigger city, which was full with people. I never liked it, I hate crowds, I hate how the city is full with life.
After a while, my mother met someone and he was rich, so, we moved into a bigger house, which looked like a castle. I did not like it; I like simple things. I liked our old house, where the walls were cracked like a river spreading through the map. It was beautiful in its own way.
So why am I going back again to my hometown? I look to my left, where my mother is driving. She looked tired and mad; she was continuously frowning while she was driving. Maybe she was thinking about how she could bring a child like me into this world. Of course, I was the cause of going back to my hometown. It was my punishment.
 I'm going to be honest, lying isnât something I do often. Since I was little, I adored motorcycles. They are so beautifully shaped and their sound is simply music to my ears. I love watching them through the TV, the bikers riding their fancy motorcycles and competing against each other, going in circles like Formula 1 cars on the circuits.
 My dad had owned an old Yamaha, it was beautiful. He noticed that I adored it, and so, he taught me everything about motorbikes; which part of the bike belongs where, he even taught me how to repair some broken parts. That was the moment I fell in love with motorbikes. I could not wait until I grew up and finally got my license. I had one purpose in life, and that was it.
And after a lot of patience, I finally got my license, but I had no motorbike. This became my next goal. To buy a bike. I succeeded doing that too, and I was proud of myself.
I looked back, where my beautiful matte black Yamaha R6 was tied safely onto the trailer. After I bought ToothlessâI have named it thatâI naturally joined a motorbike gang and slowly got into the world of racing. But these were illegal affairs, illegal races. Youâd rarely get caught, so I didnât worry about it. But one day I made a very bad mistake and I was left to face the cops. I was alone, the othersâwhom I considered my friendsâleft me there, letting me face the repercussions all on my own. As soon as my mother got me out of the police station and we got home, she started packing my things, saying 'You're moving in with your father.' My opinion did not matter, it was settled, and I just needed to obey. I did not care about anything at that point, so I just went with it without a word. Since that incident I did not want to make any friends, I did not trust people anymore, not even my mother. She betrayed me by sending me back to our hometown, treating me like I was a nobody to her. I never felt like I belonged anywhere, I am used of being passed around by others.
As soon as we drove through the streets of my hometown, little memories started resurfacing and I smiled. It was good to be back, to be honest, I have always loved this area. I never actually wanted to leave it behind, I just really had no choice but to do otherwise.
When we finally arrived to the house where we had once lived, a whirlwind of emotions hit me like a truck. My father stepped out from his car service, wiping his oily hands onto a used black cloth, which was once white. He looked tired and worried, mimicking the same expressions reflected on my motherâs face.
I stepped out from the car, looking around a little bit. Nothing has changed since I had last been here, and that was a long time ago. We never came back after the separation, my father used to visit us when he had the time, but it was rare, and our relationship went from having a happy father-daughter connection, to a shallow 'How's school? Good.' connection.
As I looked around, my parents were talking quietly just so I wouldnât overhear them, but I knew they were talking about me. They were talking, and then suddenly my mother was moving, giving me a kiss on my cheek and saying 'Don't get into any trouble', leaving me there like I was an abandoned cat, handed back to the streets because it kept causing trouble. She chose the easier way, passing me into the hands of my father.
I pushed my bike into the garage and covered it with a blanket, I did not want Toothless to be dusty from all the dirt flying around the air. My dad showed me around the house acting as if I was there for the first time. I stepped inside my old room; everything was just how I had left it. The old drawing in which I had drawn our once happy family, and even my little pink shoes, which I had cried about leaving behind accidentally. Everything was the same, except me.
I got enrolled into the local University. I wanted to learn still as I had nothing to do; I needed to keep my mind busy. As I was headed to the new University on my bike, I felt anxiety crawling up through my body. I never liked new places, and besides, this was a little town, everyone knew everyone. And so, I was the new girl in town to them. The girl who came back after years of being gone. I don't really think anybody is actually aware of who am I. I had changed.
I arrived to the parking lot of the university, and cut the engine of Toothless. I sighed before I got off my bike, taking off my raven black helmet with red lines on it. My anxiety had finally crawled through my body, managing to reach my mind and thoughts, clouding them and keeping me locked in, not letting me go for even a second. My thoughts had always been my biggest enemy. Overthinking made me feel anxious about even the littlest things. It wasnât good as this influenced my behavior, all the time. I tried to gather myself, not having noticed that somebody was watching me.
"Princess is back in town and has a little motorcycle, I see." I jumped at the sudden deep voice coming from behind me.
I turned around and saw a very familiar looking, handsome, guy in front of me, but I did not remember his name. He was smirking at me, his eyes sharp like a knife, glaring at me like he was a predator and I was his prey. He was wearing a black hoodie that hugged his broad shoulders perfectly, with black shorts that reached his knees, pairing with red Jordans.
"And who are you?" I asked frowning; I really did not know him, he looked familiar, but I could not place a name to his face.
He just tilted his head, looking at me sharper than before, "You don't remember me? I'm Choi San."
He was frowning his thick eyebrows, a little cut in his left eyebrow making his glare more intense.
Choi San, the mayor's son. Now I knew who he was, and I did not fucking like him. He was always the annoying rich kid from school, always stuck-up, acting all-mighty due to his family being rich. And he didnât like me either anymore. At the beginning we were friends, but then shit started happening at homeâmy parents arguing constantly, not even noticing me anymoreâand so, I closed myself off, not wanting to befriend anyone. I was just a child, my parents constantly arguing was a big enough trauma for me to stop caring about other things. So, I pushed San away, who, I assume, took it to heart since he started hating me and acting like a total jackass, not letting me live. It was like that until I left my hometown, leaving everyone behind.
"Oh, well then, I don't care." I said while grabbing my helmet from my bike and turning around to leave. I did not have the energy for this arrogant prick, he didnât change at all, I could tell by his one little sentence.
He laughed, "Princess is mad, huh? Is that a Yamaha R1?"
He had asked while pointing at my bike, not letting me leave quite yet.
I sighed and turned around looking at him annoyed, "No, it's an R6."
My answer was short and snappy.
"That's from one of the newest series. I bet you begged on your knees your rich stepfather to buy it for you." He laughed sarcastically, and it sounded like an engine that needed an oil change. I sneered at the thought.
It hurt, it hurt because he didnât know how many days I didnât sleep because I had shift after shift, working my ass off. My stepfather and mother didnât want to buy me a bike, actually they hated just the idea of it, but I didnât care, so I took as many jobs as I could, and after three years of hard work, I finally get to buy this beauty. It had nothing to do with my stepfather. San was just being his old self, being an asshole, judging even though he did not know anything at all.
"Just fuck off, San." I snapped before walking towards the building. I was starting to get annoyed, but I didnât let it show because I knew that was what he wanted out of this exchange. To piss me off, get on my nerves.
I finally stepped inside the building. I was a bit lost; I didn't know where I was supposed to go now.
"Let's race someday or are you scared, baby?" But San suddenly stopped next to me, looking at me arrogantly, not leaving me alone.
I laughed at the nickname, it was cringe, what the hell was he thinking? "I don't do shit like that."
I didnât even spare him a glance.
"Then why do you have a motorbike?" San asked, looking at me like the police officer had when he was interrogating me.
"I obviously use it to go to church." I rolled my eyes as I started walking down the corridor. I got a lot of curious looks from the other students littered around in the hallways.
"I bet you raced in that big town of yours." San said, of course, following me.
I suddenly stopped in my tracks, and looked at him with deadly eyes, "Can't you just go and fucking annoy somebody else?"
"Princess is being mean for what? I just wanted to welcome you back in town." He said with a smirk on his lips.
"Oh, how humble" I said ironically, "Thank you for your kindness."
I smiled at him and saluted him before turning around. I did not have the energy for this egoistic guy.
I somehow found the director's office. He handed over my schedule and wished me good luck, and I was abandoned again in the empty corridor.
I was looking at my schedule, trying to figure out which classroom I needed to get in.
 "Hey, new girl, are you lost?" I heard a voice calling out toâmeâ I had assumed.
I looked up and I found myself standing in front of a tall, black-haired boy, with the kindest smile I had ever seen in my entire life. He was wearing bright colors, which highlighted his bright smiley face, he looked like a walking sunshine.
"Hi, yes, a little bit." I said while looking at my schedule confused.
"Let me see." He took the paper from my hands and looked at it humming, "Oh, you are in the same major as me. I'm headed to that class; I can show you the way."
He offered me up with a sweet smile.
"Oh my god, thank you, you saved me." I huffed the air out from my lungs.
"This way." He pointed out the direction with his finger, and we started to walk towards the classroom.
"By the way, I'm Yunho." He said, reaching his hand out towards me.
I smiled while shaking his hand, "Y/N, nice to meet you. How did you know I am the new girl?"
I had asked him curiously.
"Everyone knows, it's a little town, the rumors here spread like the plague." He shivered with a smile.
I chuckled, "Oh, I see. Too bad, I just wanted to remain unknown."
"Your dad is quite famous in town, did you know? So, I assume he told someone you are coming, and puff, the rumors are everywhere." He gave me a side glance as he smiled.
"Yeah, maybe." I said, thinking about the fact that my father has a car service, which, I assume, is the only one in town. Therefore, people meet up with him constantly, thinking more of it, it isnât a surprise that people know who I am, in the end it, it is a little town. We arrived to the classroom, and headed in.
The day went by quickly. I was glad I met Yunho, he was a funny guy, and he led me around the University, making funny comments about some students. I really needed him in order to integrate into this new community, which I was once part of ten years ago. It was as if I had to relive the past, as if I was walking down the same path, I had done so ten years ago, a path which might have changed during my absence. It felt like I had to start everything from the very beginning.
 The days passed by quickly, and I just tried to avoid being in the spotlight as I found out everyone knew me, but I knew nobody, because who would remember the people they had met while being just a little kid? As I was randomly walking on the street, headed to get some groceries, random people would say hello and even ask how my mom was. I just quickly answered them, but I didnât know who they were.  I didnât like the attention, when all the eyes were on me, so I tried to lay low, live my life quietly.
Then one day, as I had gotten closer to Yunho, he somehow convinced me to attend a party held by some guy named Song Mingi. I wore casual clothes, meaning simple black ripped jeans paired with a black crop-top, and a leather jacket. I am a biker, so the leather jacket is a must, even when you have to leave your bike behind, as I had done now. I felt like drinking something. I hadnât gotten drunken in a while, not that this was my purpose for the night.
Yunho came to pick me up with his navy-blue Nissan GT-R. The car was beautiful inside out. And that is when I found out that Yunho used to do street racing, held by some local racing company. That's another reason as to why we became friends so quickly, as we were interested in the same things.
 When we arrived to the house where the party was held at, it was already crowded. Luckily, there was the opportunity to stay outside, next to the pool, and so, I told Yunho I didn't really want to go into the crowd. He stayed with me, and to our luck, we found some alcohol outside too. There was a table next to the pool, and there were a whole bunch of alcoholic drinks on it, so, we took some tequila shots. As we were talking about some of Yunho's street races, I heard someone approaching us.
"Where did you leave your expensive bike, princess?" He clapped his hands together, reaching for a can of beer, opening it quickly with his thumb. He was wearing dark jeans, a white T-shirt, and on top a leather jacket. At least he knew the unsaid rule of the bikers. Leather jacket is a must, like I have said.
I looked at him with a glare, "I left it at church since I got drunk on the communion wine."
I said annoyed as it was my last wish to meet him tonight, âJust leave me alone, San.â
"Where's the fun in that?" He leaned close to my face, bending down to be at the same height as me, whispering it in my face.
"The fun must be where you brain is, which you seem to be lacking in." I pointed at his head.
He laughed loudly, "You'll see where is the fun when I beat you at the race."
He glared at me with his typical sharp gaze. It whispered danger. And I liked danger.
âI said I donât race; do you have issues with your long-term memory now?â Despite meaning to be teasing and unabashed, my voice came out a little angry as I frowned.
âI saw the news about your little incident. You canât be fooling everyone and telling them you nearly got arrested, princess.â He spread his arms, as he raised his voice, so everyone could hear it who was outside. I felt everyoneâs eyes on us, coming closer, way too interested in hearing what the whole fiasco was about.
My blood had started boiling and I clenched my fists together, until my knuckles turned white. I was blinded by my sudden anger towards San, I just wanted to wipe that annoying, arrogant, smile off of his face. I stepped closer to him, my face inches away from his, as his back was facing the pool. He just needed a little encouragement for a swim, and so, I strongly pushed him towards the pool, and before he could fall in, I quickly whisked the beer out of his hand, and lifted it into the air.
âHave a good swimming, Choi San.â I placed the beer down on the table. That was my que to leave him there. I could feel his glare pointed at my back from the pool as he swum to the surface. I could feel his annoyance, that he felt embarrassed. I smirked to myself, Choi San, you have no idea whom youâre trying to annoy. Yunho came after me quickly and gave me a high-five for the move I had just pulled off.
 The next hours at the party were spent by drinking and dancing, as I went into the dancing crowd. I just wanted to disappear in the crowd and feel good. I tried to avoid San the whole night as I didnât want to see his furious side, San, who got humiliated by me. It was funny, I had to smile the whole time as I remembered his face when I pushed him into the pool, amused by the whole ordeal. I also got to know the guy who threw the party as Yunho introduced us to each other. Mingi was a tiny bit shorter than Yunho, but you could barely notice. He had a buzz cut and rocked his blonde hair; his sharp nose completed his small eyes well. He wore a black T-shirt with some silver necklaces around his neck, and black ripped jeans. His nails were painted black with some rings on his fingers. I am not going to lie; he was hot as hell. And I also found out that he races alongside with Yunho. He owns a Toyota Supra, and that nearly made me faint when he told me about it, because itâs a rare car. He then proceeded to show it to me. It was so beautiful and unique due to its painting. It was kind of a papaya orange with some words on it painted on it, 'Fix on' and 'Youth'. I really liked it.
I had asked the boys about what kind of race San spoke about, and they said itâs an illegal motorbike race, which happen to be very rare here. I quickly tried to forget about it. I didn't want to cause trouble again; I had promised my mom and also myself to stay low, to be better. San was just provoking me; I wouldnât fall into his trap.
 The next day at university as I was walking down the corridor, headed to the cafeteria, something immediately caught my eyes. It was a poster with a motorbike on it, of course it caught my eyes. I went closer to read it. It said that a motorbike competition was to be held, and the prize were some new parts to upgrade your motorcycle. This was the competition San was talking about, and it's going to be held tonight on the deserted streets of the city. I'm not going to lie; it piqued my interest. I miss speeding down the roads, the adrenaline coursing through my veins every time I race. And my bike is in urgent need of an upgrade, because these past days it felt like something was wrong with it, but I couldnât figure out what it was exactly. For now, I'm going to let it go, but I still took the poster with meâŚjust in case.
Evening came and I was in my room, I barely talked to my father all day, nothing unusual. Sometimes when I'm alone, and that happens a lot recently, I just start thinking about useless things that make me feel weak. I have never opened up to anyone before, I was never that kind of person, and besides, I always thought it's useless to open up to someone, because in the end they never truly care about me. And the fact that I was betrayed by my own "friends", it just confirms that I really should just stick to myself. I'm not going to say that it didnât hurt when I saw my friends running away from the police, pushing me straight in front of them, telling me, "You are the new girl, handle it." Funny, I'm the new girl everywhere, I'm not going to belong anywhere, I am always going to be the new girl. They thought it was a nice joke, it wasn't; it ruined me. I started to think that the problem was me, that I deserved this, that I am not enough. As some time went by, I realized it wasn't my fault, but these thoughts still remained deep in my heart. And I will carry it with myself for a long time.
Here I am again, thinking about these things. These are those moments, when I need to clear my head. My solution for it is going out into the chilly air with my bike, cutting through the wind with the highest speed my bike can handle. The feeling of it being night, and I'm alone with Toothless, speeding through unknown streets, I feel like it's just me and my bike in this whole world. Itâs like therapy for me. It justâŚunderstands me, just like the feeling you get while listening to music; sometimes you listen to a sad song, it makes you sad, it just describes your feelings, but if you are happy and you listen to that exact same song, it'll bring happy tears out of you.
 I was going around the city aimlessly, when suddenly I saw a bunch of bikers headed somewhere. That's when I realized they were going to the competition. My heart started to beat quickly. I started inhaling and exhaling slowly, just the thought of racing made my blood boil, my skin itch, awakening my body like nothing else.
And as I kept following after them, suddenly I realized I arrived to the location of the competition. It was really my subconscious taking over, driving me here. I slowed down a little. There were a lot of people around crowding the bikers, watching their unique motorcycles. Some background music accompanied the sound of the engines as it melted together, creating an intriguing melody. The atmosphere here were totally different compared to the one in the big city. Back there it was just serious faces, who hated each other. But here, I only saw smiles and laughs even between the racers as it seemed like everyone looked at each other friendly, not viewing the other as the enemy.
I stopped my bike, turning the engine off after having parked it. I noticed some curious eyes on me. I didn't know what to do now, I was totally alone. I didnât know anyone, but I needed to fight my anxiety as I took my helmet off. My helmet always gave me safety, kept me unknown, and that's what I always wanted.
When I stepped next to my bike, someone immediately caught me into a hug. It was Yunho. He lifted me up in the air and smiled.
"Oh my God, you are here, Y/N!" He said excitedly, putting me down.
I laughed, "Yes, I am. I don't know how exactly, I was out for a ride, and then I found myself here."
I said placing my helmet down on my bike.
"I am so happy you are here." Yunho said, his smile never disappearing.
"Yeah, I can see that." I chuckled looking at his bright face.
"Will you sign up for the competition?" He asked me with curious eyes.
I sighed, "I'm here soâI guess?"
I lifted my hands into the air, shrugging.
"Yes!" Yunho fist bumped the air happily, making me chuckle.
He then led me to a person at which I needed to sign up for the competition. I didn't know who I was going to compete against, just until Choi San came to sign up as well. I had already finished signing up as I stood aside with Yunho, while he leaned towards me and quietly started to introduce each racer.
"Did you know that we are going to race against each other, princess?" San said, throwing a quick glance my way with his sharp eyes, signing the paper in front of him. I checked him out very quickly, hoping nobody would notice. He was wearing his typical leather jacket but with a black T-shirt underneath, and ripped jeans this time. His black hair fell into his eyes as he finished filling out the paper. Every woman very noticeably thirsted after him, and I wasn't an exceptionâŚheâs fucking hot. What a shame he has a shitty personality.
I rolled my eyes and ignored him, tuning to face Yunho, who was talking to some guy I didn't know. Did San really not understand that I didnât want to talk to him?
"I want to race against her." I heard San's voice coming from behind me. I turned around to look at him annoyed.
"You canât get rid of me so fast." He winked at me, that fucker.
"I will, on the track." I smiled at him sweetly, turning around again as I went back to my bike with Yunho, adrenaline slowly starting to course through my body. I had to win this, I had to wipe that confident smile off of San's face.
The race started, it was a drag racing, meaning three bikers were lined on the starting point, it was a shorter straight section, then as the lights turned green from red, you just needed to shift the gears up as perfectly as you could. The first who reaches the finish line wins. Speed mattered only here, and how detailed you are about the gearing.
A few bikers were already done with the race, and I watched them curiously. Slowly, it was our turn to race. People were loud and they cheered whenever their favorites won.
I rolled over to the starting point. One guy was already there and I found out that I'm going to race against San and a guy named Hongjoong, whose nickname was the Devil. I didn't know him, but Yunho said he is one of the most well-known bikers in the town. He had a Honda CBR. His bike was sick, it was bright red and the owner sitting on it with his red helmet really looked like the Devil himself, I get why they call him that.
As I rolled next to him, I glanced towards my right as he was there. He looked at me and bowed his head, I did the same. It was a sign of respect. I liked the guy already.
San arrived to my left side with his Suzuki GSX, painted also with a very dark red, reminding me of blood, mixed with some black. These guys weren't playing, their bikes were absolute monsters. I could almost hide with Toothless, but my bike was almost on the same level as theirs, so I saw hope in winning this.
When the announcer spoke, saying our names and a few things about our motorbikes, I slowly started to focus on the task at hand. I did not hear anything else, just my fast-beating heart. I fixed my eyes ahead, breathing in and out. The engine sounds pushed away the crowdâs noise. The red light suddenly switched green, and I quickly lifted my left foot off the ground, concentrating on the perfect timing of the gearing, bending over a little to adjust with the speed. From the outside it looks like three bikes quickly reach the finish line, but when you are the driver, it feels like the longest minutes of your life.
At the beginning the three of us were head-to-head, then I was the one who was leading. I could feel the victory coursing through my bloodstream already. But suddenly, I heard a puffing noise from my engine, and it stopped without any warning. My bike started to slow, the thoughts of winning long forgotten.
'Shit, shit, no, no, no, no, no!' I mumbled to myself. I could barely stop; my bike was still resonating.
The two other racers quickly passed by me, leaving me with my broken bike. I glanced forward and saw San reaching the finish line first. I was so fucking close. I hit my bike angrily, and got off it to push it over to the side. This is the worst feeling ever, when you are so close that you can already feel the win, but then something out of your control happens and itâs not your fault, you canât do anything about it, youâre only left with cursing the world, asking, 'Why me?'
I could feel something was faulty with my bike, but I didn't think it was this bad. I heard someone running my way. It was Yunho, and when he reached me, he leaned his hands on his knees, catching his breath.
"Fuck, what happened?" He asked straightening up, still breathing quickly from running.
"I don't know, the engine just stopped working." I kicked my bike. I loved Toothless, but when it did things like this, I felt like I was going to throw it out.
Yunho came closer to my bike, to try and see what the problem was. He crouched down to take a closer look as I stood next to him, using the flash of my phone to help him see better. I heard an engine slowing down next to us. Of course it was San, he took his black helmet off, smiling at me deviously.
"Daddy's money wasn't enough for a normal motor? Itâs called karma, princess.â He said with a death glare, smirking annoyingly. âThis is because you fucking pushed me into the pool."
Why the hell did he enjoy spitting out words that made no sense at all?
I could feel my blood boiling, my biggest desire at the moment being the want to punch that confident smile off his annoying face. I was so close doing it, I swear to God, I was ready to punch him hard, but that little sanity I was clinging on to did not let it happen. I always had problems controlling my anger. But slowly, I learned to handle it. I learned how to manage these feelings, so I just let it bounce off of me.
"Next time Iâm going to push you into the sea, if you donât stop being an asshole. Go, celebrate your fucking win, you really deserve it." I said, staring at him with deadly eyes.
"Your wish is my command, Princess." He saluted with a smirk, and then placed his helmet back on, driving away with his annoyingly loud engine. I scoffed as I watched him roll away.
"I think I'm going to call my dad, there's no hope in fixing it." I sighed. I'm going to get into so much trouble now. I was forbidden from racing, my dad won't be happy, I'm sure. But it is what it is. At least the cops didn't show up this time.
I called my dad and told him what happened. I was nervous of how he would react. To my surprise, his first question was about my well-being. He said he was coming.
While I was waiting alone for my dadâI told Yunho that he could since my dad was comingâ Hongjoong stopped by my side, taking his helmet off. His blonde hair fell into his face as he ruffled his hair. He was damn handsome, he looked so soft, the opposite of his nickname.
"Everything alright?" He asked, his eyes full of understanding.
"Not really, my engine is broken, so yeahâŚ" I said with a sad smile.
"Can I help you with anything?" He looked at me as if he really understood what I was feeling right now.
"No, thank you, I'm waiting for my dad to pick us up." I pointed at my bike.
"Okay, such a shame this happened. It was a good race." He smiled at me and then reached his fist towards me.
"Yeah, it couldâve be a good one." I fist bumped him, smiling.
"Next time perhaps then." He winked at me sweetly, "If you need any help, I'mma be around." He put his helmet back on.
"Okay, thank you." I smiled at him sincerely.
He rolled away quickly, leaving me there with my thoughts. Now, that's what I'm talking about. Why aren't there more people like him on Earth? He looks like an angel, not like the devil I suppose he isâon track. I was intrigued, I wanted to get to know him better. San could really learn a thing or two from him.
 My dad arrived after a few minutes and we quietly placed my bike up on the trailer. As we were headed home, silence settled around us. I could feel he was pissed.
"I'm sorry." I said, looking straight ahead at the road, not wanting to see his disappointed expression.
"What did you think?" He started, "That you would race and I wouldnât ever find out about it? It's a little town, Y/N, you already know how fast rumors spread here."
He glanced at me for a second.
"I know, I didnât think, I just miss racing." Tears appeared in my eyes. "Please don't tell mom. She will send me to Azkaban after this."
Call it a defense mechanism, a trauma response, but I had always been like thisâŚjoking in serious situations.
I glanced at him and saw a very small smile appear on his lips, "I won't tell her, but it was very bold of you to race again. You can't do that, you know it, it'll have consequences."
He lectured me.
"Yeah, I know. Thank you for not telling mom." I said, relief spreading through my body.
"But you're still punished. You have to help me in the car service after school." He said glancing at me with a serious look.
"Okay, and maybe we could fix my bike too?" I said, glancing at him with a smile.
My father smiled back, "Maybe after we fixed some cars, we could check it out next week."
I clapped happily, "Thank you!"
The rest of the ride until we got home was quiet, I was happy my father was this understanding. I thought as soon as he finds it out, he'll send me back to mom, passing me between each other like I was a tennis ball. But to my surprise, it was the opposite, and I really didn't mind working in the car service. At least we could spend some more time together. I hoped we could fix our relationship, alongside with the cars, of course.
 My days went by and they all were quite the same. I attended my classes at university, then my whole afternoon went by fixing cars with my father. He managed to teach me a lot of things about cars, even though my world was all about motorbikes I was always interested in cars too. I was planning on buying a car, but I needed to put that aspiration aside for a while. My priority was fixing my bike so I could finally ride it.
We checked out my bike and we found out that my engine was overheated, and that's why it shut down. An engine upgrade was needed, and we changed the turbo as well while we were at it. It was going to be even more powerful than before; I was so excited to finally try it out. On some days, Yunho and Mingi would come by the car service to check on me, and they even started helping me out in fixing my bike. We started getting closer, we laughed a lot in between the late-night repairing.
Yunho and Mingi invited me to watch their races, which were going to be held today. I had never been to races like this one before, so I happily accepted the invitation. I could finally try my bike out as I was headed to the race. It felt so good riding it again after a while. I felt like I could breathe again. I think I had gotten addicted to this feeling.
The race was held at the race track of the town, in the afternoon. The sun was slowly going down as I rode my bike, painting my black bike and helmet with the shade of dark orange.
When I arrived to the track, there were lots of people being excited about the race. It was a drag race again, but with cars this time. I looked around and I saw different types of cars, each looking very sick and unique. I started to feel excited as I was rolling down between the cars, searching for Yunho's parked car.
Then, I suddenly recognized someone with a blonde hair. He noticed me and started walking towards me with a smile. I stopped and took off my helmet.
"Fixed your bike, huh?" Hongjoong approached me with a genuine smile.
"Yeah, finally." I pet my bike with a smile.
"I'm glad, we shall try it out some day." He said with his white teeth flashing.
"We shall." I smiled back at him. I would wholeheartedly race with him again.
"Are you racing?" I asked with a frown.
"No, I came to watch, I won't betray my beast." He laughed sweetly. I swear to God, his laugh was like music to my ears, "You came to watch too?"
"Yeah, I've never been to races like this one before." I said, feeling excited.
"We can watch it together; I know the best place where we can watch it from." Hongjoong offered with a sweet smile.
"Okay." I accepted his offer quite easily, "But first, I want to wish Yunho and Mingi good luck."
"Come, you can put your bike down there, Iâll show you where they are." He pointed towards my right, where I could park my bike.
I pushed my bike to the designated area, and brought my helmet with myself. I did not want to leave my treasure there. Hongjoong lead the way to where Yunho's blue GT-R was parked, next to Mingi's orange Supra. These two cars next to each other looked so good. I was very tempted to take a picture of them.
I approached Yunho and hugged him from behind, surprising him. He laughed, "You came, finally."
"I would never miss it." I smiled looking up at him. He was wearing his racing suit with colors that matched his car. His hair was lazily brushed over his forehead, almost reaching his eyes.
I hugged Mingi too, the top part of his orange racing suit lazily hung around his waist, a white T-shirt underneath. This orange clothing suit him very well, highlighting his blonde buzz cut. They looked handsome. What is it today, everyone is looking so good?!
"I'm going to be in the crowd, watching you guys, good luck. Fighting!" I smiled and hugged them both again. Hongjoong also wished them good luck, resorting to giving them high-fives.
"Thanks, we'll try." Yunho said laughing.
We then walked to the spot Hongjoong mentioned before. It was really a good one, we could see everything from here. The crowd started to cheer as the first cars appeared on the track. It was a 2v2. Yunho was the first one, competing against a Mitsubishi Lancer. It was going to be hard to beat that car, but Yunho did not disappoint, and he won with a lot of advantage. Every minute counted here; they were measuring the time up until you crossed the finish line. Time mattered here as it could beat your opponent.
After a lot of quick races, the sun went down, street lamps were lighting the track up, the crowd cheering loudly. We laughed a lot with Hongjoong, and he explained the rules of the races we were witnessing. I finally felt happy after a long time, I loved the atmosphere here.
That is until someone sat next to me.
"Now youâre into cars too? Tell your stepdad to send you a car, a broken one perhaps." San said, looking at me with those fucking annoying sharp eyes of his.
Every time he appears, my mood is fucked, "I will, now leave me the fuck alone."
I had said not looking at him.
San laughed, "Not until we're racing with equal chances."
"Oh, so now you admit it wasn't a fair win for you?" I looked at him with a glare.
"No, I would've won anyways. I just wanted to see how much you could push. But your bike said, nah. I bet it'll fall apart again." He said, leaning closer to me.
My blood started boiling, it was one thing if I was the one saying shit about Toothless, but him spitting out these words about my bike were not allowed. Ever. San was provoking me, and I knew it, I fucking knew it, yetâŚ
"Come, I'll fucking beat you this time." I looked at him with blazing eyes, starring at him sharply.
He stood up smiling, "It'll be my pleasure, princess."
He put his right hand on his heart and bowed.
Oh, how I would hit him in the face, I had nightmares about that fucking confident smile.
I stood up, Hongjoong grabbed my hands to make me look at him, "It's not the best time going out there, Y/N."
He said with concern in his voice.
"I don't care, I want to wipe that confident smile off his face." I was long gone, there was no chance of anyone convincing me doing otherwise.
Hongjoong stood up, looking at me with concern, "But please be careful, call me if anything happens."
He held my hands, he really looked concerned.
"Don't worry, savior. I'll keep her safe." San glared at Hongjoong with the deadliest stare I've ever seen.
Hongjoong stepped closer to San, letting go of my hands. "If anything happens to her because youâre a fucking idiot and your ass is just itchy, you'll regret it, I promise."
Hongjoong stared back at San, and in this moment, he really looked like the Devil. I stood between them as they were eyeing each other, glaring with their noses flared.
Whoa, whoa, hold on a second, what was happening right nowâ
"Okay, guys, stop! Let's not waste any more time and get this shit over." I looked at San, losing my patience.
He winked at me and then smiled, his dimples appearing. Did I just notice he has dimples?
He did not wear his usual black leather jacket tonight; it was a leather jacket with some red on its sleeves and on the waist with white lines. On the front there was a writing 'SUZUKI', referring to his motorbike being the same brand. Iâm not going to lie; he looked hot as fuck.
We walked over to our bikes, which were parked next to each other. I sat on my bike.
"So where are we going? You know this town." I looked over to my left side to meet San's gaze.
"There's a freeway not far from here. Thereâll be traffic, but itâs more exciting that way." He smirked.
I started my engine and reached my hand out, motioning to him to show me the way. We both placed our helmets on, and then it was game on from there on. There was no turning back anymore.
I followed San, turning on unknown streets, it was barely a five-minute ride. We stopped where the freeway began.
"The winner is who gets to the end of the freeway first. It's not that long." He told me through his helmet, being on my left side.
I just nodded, it was late into the evening, but the cars ahead of us were countless. It was a three-lane road, people mightâve been going home from work, because there were a lot of cars. We lined up at the side of the road, in front of the red light. San pointed at that, signaling that if it turns green, we start. I started to reeve the engine, my legs in starting position with my eyes focused on the road ahead of me, counting the cars, and analyzing how could I pass by them. Adrenaline crawled through me; my skin covered in goosebumps. I have never felt like this before, I was so hyped about winning this. I had to win this.
The red light suddenly changed to green, and I quickly lifted my foot off the ground, bending over my bike and shifting up. We slid through the cars like the river runs through the rocks. We were two quick arrows passing by the cars, wheezing from left to right. At first, we were head-to-head, but I got lucky and I could pass by a big truck very quickly. San wasn't that lucky, he stayed behind a little. We arrived to a tunnel; sudden strong light hit my eyes. Traffic was lesser here, so, San quickly caught up with me. The sound of our engines were so loud that its echo bounced of the tunnelâs walls. It was like music, the two-engine sound melting into each other. I'm not going to lie, I was enjoying it so much as I have never felt like this before, it was the definition of freedom. I quickly glanced at San and he lifted his arms, giving me a thumps up, then quickly passed by me. But I did not let that happen, I went after him. We arrived to the end of the tunnel, sudden darkness hitting me now, my eyes needed a few minutes to adopt to the dark again. As cars were in front of us, I quickly took the chance to go in between two cars, and I was leading again. Until I suddenly saw red and blue lights flashing from behind.
Shit, shit, no, not againâ
It felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest, it was beating so fast. I can't get caught again, no way. I started to panic, and suddenly all strength escaped my body as I started to slow down. I couldnât think straight as all thoughts left my mind seeing those colors again, getting flashbacks of that night. The lights, then being pushed straight into the copâs hands, my friends running away, leaving me alone. San was suddenly next to me.
"Hey, Y/N, don't slow down, we need to lose them! I know a shortcut, follow me!" He yelled over the sounds of our engines and through his helmet, as I suddenly was back from the flashback as I looked behind me, seeing as the cops getting closer and closer.
I just nodded, suddenly feeling my strength coming back to me. There's no way they will catch me again. I quickly followed after San, passing by the cars, the police still following us, getting closer. San turned right onto a street, then left. We went through alleys and little streets, where only a bike would fit. I had no idea where were we, but I didn't care, because it seemed like San's plan was working and the red and blue lights were now far away from us. Suddenly, San turned left and went inside an abandoned factory's court. He quickly stopped and turned off the engine, signaling for me to do the same. I rolled next to him, and switched the key to turn off the engine. I glanced behind my back, I didn't see any signs of the police, but I still felt like I couldnât breathe. I took off my helmet quickly, starting to inhale and exhale quickly.
"Fuck." I ran my fingers through my hair stressed, pulling it away from my face.
"Come, let's go inside, bring your bike too." San said, getting off his bike as he started pushing it towards the building.
As I got off my bike, I was shaking, the adrenaline was still in my blood. We brought our bikes inside and I needed to sit quickly. I sat down, pressing my back against my bike, lifting my knees up to my chest.
"I think they're gone." San sat down, doing the same as me.
He glanced over me, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." I said, still not looking at him.
"Are you really that scared of the cops?" I could hear it in his voice that he was smiling.
"San, this is really not the time where you can say shit like that." I glanced over at him. I guess he saw my expression, because his face changed.
"Sorry, I didnâtâ" We lifted our heads up as we heard the siren sounds. The red and blue lights lit the walls of the factory, and my heart dropped to my stomach.
"Shit, shit, they are coming here." I stood up, San did too. But suddenly, I heard the sirens getting further and further away. I let out the big breath I was holding this whole time.
"They just passed by, idiots." San laughed.
I glanced over at him in disbelief, and sat down again next to my bike.
San mirrored me, "We need to wait a little, though, so they will give up searching for us."
"You were in these kinds of situations a lot, huh?" I asked San, staring ahead into the darkness.
"Kinda, that's why I knew what to do." He said sighing. Quiet fell over us as we both were thinking, probably not about the same things as he spoke up, "But I don't get it. What did you do that you got almost arrested? Did you crash your bike and kill someone?â
He looked at me frowning. I scoffed at him; I really couldnât believe he was like this.
"You don't know anything about me, so please stop assuming things when you don't know shit." I stared at him angrily, "It's making me feel sick, San. I'm so fucking tired of your comments, what did I do to you for you to behave like this with me?"
I asked him, looking his way then at my hands, "I was just fucking racing because I love to do so. Why is that so bad? Donât you do the same thing, San? Iâve got arrested because my friends left me there, so I was blamed for that whole mess, on my own. So, please, ask before you talk shit."
There was a minute of silence, "Fuck, I didn't know, Y/N. I don't fucking know why I'm an asshole with you. It is so easy to piss you off."
I glanced at him; he was staring ahead as he ran his fingers through his raven black hair.
"And you are enjoying this?" I scoffed at him in disbelief.
"Of course I donât, itâs justâ" He turned my way, "Lately I did it just because I wanted to race against you and I thought if I provoke you, then you'll come. I know it sounds stupid, but don't say you didn't like it."
He seemed nervous a little. Choi San being nervous, interesting.
"I did enjoy it, San. But what the hell, why couldn't you just ask me nicely if I wanted to come with you? I would've, if you weren't such an asshole.â I looked at him, âAnd our bickering or whatever did not start here.â
"YeahâŚI know." He looked down at his hands, "When we were kids you suddenly just got cold and pushed me away like I was some garbage. I was a little kid, it hurt."
He admitted. I didnât recognize this San, this softer, nicer, side of him was strange to me.
"I was a little kid too. Kids are mean, you just had a weak heart." I said to him, "That does not mean you have to be an asshole your whole life, because I mistreated you when we were fucking kids. This is it, San. You need to adapt to some situations; you have to let go of foolish things at times."
I looked at him seriously.
"Forgive me for being such an asshole, you did not deserve it. I just tried to blame other people for my weaknesses." He admitted, and for a second, he looked vulnerable. But it vanished away quickly.
And suddenly we started sharing about our lives, the cops long forgotten, things that we didn't know about the other. I could see the side of him, which he rarely let anyone see. He could be really goofy, we laughed together, trying to recall the ridiculous situations we were in when we were just kids.
"And just so you know, I bought my bike, not someone else. I worked for it, for years. I took shift after shift, because I wanted something. You knowâŚit hurt when you said those things to me." I suddenly felt like I had to tell him how much he stabbed a knife into my heart that day.
"Fuck this, this whole situation is ridiculous." He scoffed, his voice getting weaker. "I'm so fucked up. I'm so fucking tired of adapting to what people expect of me. I did this my whole life."
I looked at him as he buried his face into his palms.
Silence fell over the chilly air as San seemed to be on edge, while he quietly sniffed. I couldnât believe that San was crying. It came out of the blue; I did not understand the cause of it.
Suddenly, I slipped next to him. I just wanted to hug him, he looked so broken. So, I went closer to him, still sitting on the ground, and hugged him tightly as he scooted closer to me and buried his face into my neck.
"It's okay, San. Sometimes life can be too much. Just let it out." I stroked his back patiently. I felt some tears falling onto my neck.
 I couldnât believe I was hugging Choi San right now, but I have always been like this. I don't care if he harmed me, if he needs a shoulder to cry on in his most vulnerable moment, then Iâm going to be there for him because no one deserves to be alone in these moments.
"I'm so tired, I'm sick of this painâŚ" He mumbled into my neck, sobbing a bit, "After my mom diedâ"
"Your mom died?" I lifted his head from my neck, cupping his face with my hands. I looked at him with round eyes. I didn't know his mother died; I was shocked.
"Yeah, right after you moved away..." He said, looking into my eyes with his puffy ones. He seemed empty, he seemed like he wasn't feeling anything at all, "She had cancer, sheâŚShe struggled a lotâŚand I was alone, I needed someone to be there for me, I triedâŚI really tried." He said, his voice getting quieter.
I did not want to believe what I just heard, his mom was an angel, everyone liked her when she stepped on the stage alongside with the townâs major. They looked like true leaders. I always looked up to her, and now sheâs gone.
"Oh my God, I didn't know, San. I'm sorry for your loss.â I blinked away my own tears as I wiped away his, âIf I would've knownâ"
I felt a bit overwhelmed.
Suddenly his expression changed, it seemed like he had realized what he had done in the last few minutes. He locked his feelings away, again. He thought he showed too much of his weaker, softer, side and suddenly, he started closing off, just like I used to do. The old San was coming back. He pushed my hands away from his face aggressively, not looking at me.
"Whatever, I don't need your pity." He stared ahead, and leaned back against his bike, lifting his knees up to his chest.
I scoffed, "What did I do now?â
I blinked at him, not understanding the sudden mood change, âOkay, you can't be helped. I tried, I really tried to be nice with you, but you are impossible."
I stood up, "I think the cops are long gone, let's get the fuck out of here." I pushed my bike outside not waiting for San. I sat on my bike, starting the engine. San arrived next to me, with his bike.
"I'm sorry, Y/N." He looked at me with sincerity, but I did not fall for it.
"Yeah, me too, have a good night." I said with a disappointed look and I put my helmet on to drive away quickly. I just needed to get as far away as possible from him.
 Weeks passed since that night. I tried to avoid San as much as I could. I just couldn't face him; I was so tired of his games. There were a few occasions when he tried to talk to me, but I just ignored him. It's not that I don't understand him, I do, I know what he's been throughâŚat least I can imagine. That night, I tried to see his good side, but he did not let me in. And it hurt, because I knew he needed someone, and I would've been by his side. But he suddenly decided to push me away. He closed himself off, stayed in the dark, not allowing me to light his path for a way out. I really felt hopeful for a second that he could change, that he would lower his walls and let me in. But no, he'll just never change, so I gave up on hoping. At least I thought so, but these past days I just couldn't get him out of my mind. When I closed my eyes, I saw him as he smiled at me in for that few minutes when we were freely talking about ourselves. I'm not going to lie, I liked that side of San, it was so pure. And I would've never thought I was going to say such things about Choi San. But he made me feel strange things.
It was late into the night when I was still in the car service. A car needed to be fixed by tomorrow and I told my dad he could rest, he has worked all day long and I could see he was really tired, so I wanted to fix this car by tomorrow. The weather seemed like it would rain soon, lighting striking every few minutes.
Suddenly, I heard an engine sound from outside. I frowned, who it is this late? I opened up the garage door and I found myself facing a soaked San, getting off his Suzuki, staring at me the whole time. His clothes were starting to soak through, the raindrops falling off from his leather jacket. It had started pouring badly; I havenât even realized it. My heart was beating fast. He took off his helmet, his hair immediately getting wet. San ran his fingers through his hair.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him without any emotion.
"I just want to talk to you, Y/N. Please, let me take you to a place." He looked at me with pleading eyes.
"In this weather, San, seriously?" I pointed out, still standing under the garage, safe from the pouring rain.
"It'll stop in a few minutes." He said his, black clothes soaked now, waterdrops falling off his face.Â
"How do you know? Are you a weather expert now too?" I asked frowning. I was just as hostile as he once was towards me.
He chuckled and ran his fingers through his hair again. "I deserved that. Just like the pool."
He looked at me again. I could see a lot of regret in his eyes.
"That night, I closed myself off because your face reminded me of all the people who pitied me back then, when she died. I was only 11 years old, and I got sick of seeing those faces, it always reminded me of her death."
He started to tear up, his voice getting weak again, "Please, Y/N, forgive me. I know I fucked up everything, I justâyouâyou drive me crazy and I can't behave around you. I feel like when I'm near you Iâll lose my mind, like Iâm not myself anymore. I said a lot of shitty things to you, and I judged you a lot even though I didn't know anything about you. I want to change that, I want to know you better, Y/N. I want to let you in, I'll do that if you also want it, but I hope you won't be scared of what you'll see."
I saw as teardrops fell down on his face, but the rain immediately washed it away, his voice cracking from the flow of emotions.
My heart wanted to jump out of my chest. I didn't except him to say things like these to me, "I'm not scared, San, to see your dark side. I never was, and I never will be."
Tears started to appear in my eyes, to my surprise, "You said some hurtful things to me, but I get it, I really do. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, but I was just so shocked, I didn't knowâŚI didn't know, San."
I started to sob, tears falling from my face.
"I know, I know, baby." He stepped closer to me as he reached out for my hands pulling me out into the rain, into his chest. I cried into his chest as he rubbed my back up and down, my clothes and my hair soaked. I shouldâve been the one comforting him, but in the end, I was the one sobbing like a little girl into his chest.
We stood in the heavy rain; our clothes wet, my hair sticking to my forehead yet he still hugged me like he never wanted to let me go. Caressing my back, he kissed the top of my head. I tried to inhale and exhale, so I could finally speak.
"I forgive you, and also I'm sorry." I whispered to him, lifting my head up from his chest.
He didn't let me go, his left hand was on my waist and he reached his right hand up to my cheeks to wipe off my tears, but they were wet again with tears and raindrops. "It's okay, don't cry, please, because then I'll cry too."
He smiled at me with the sincerity I've never seen before. His eyes were saying so much, it hurt. He finally let me in, allowed me to see his real self.
I laughed at that, and he followed suit, laughing together at this predicament, "Look at us, soaked like wet rats."
He smiled at me, never taking his sharp eyes off me.
Then suddenly his expression became serious, he stared at me as if I was his treasure, wanting to bury me, so no one could take me away, "I want to know you better, I want to know everything about you. What you like, what you don't, what is your favorite color, what do you like to eat, what you did while you were gone from here, what does it feel like to ride your bikeâŚI want to know you, and never let you go."
He said, his hand still on my cheek, accompanied by his other one.
I smiled at him. I felt so happy at that exact moment, I didn't care if I was soaked, I only saw him, "Me too."
I said quietly.
He leaned closer to me, his lips almost touching mine, "Can I kiss you?"
He whispered against my lips sweetly.
Chills ran through my body. I never wanted anything more than him kissing me. I just nodded; words long forgotten. He closed the distance between us, and when our lips finally met, there was a loud thunder rumbling the world, lighting flashing around us and rain pouring from above, washing away our past where we said a lot of stupid things to each other. We could start with a clear page, melting our futures together. Our lips never stopped moving, it felt like heaven and hell met with each other as our lips moved against the otherâs, just like when we were racing, both of us tried to win the other over. I welcomed San's darkness wholeheartedly and tried to scare it away with my light.
Then suddenly the rain stopped, and we separated from each other, looking up at the sky. The clouds were gone and the full moon was shining so brightly it looked like it was almost daylight.
I chuckled looking up, "You should apply to be a weatherman."
San was gazing at me so lovingly I felt like I was going to melt right there, "See? Now you can come with me, I want to show you something."
He held my hands.
"Okay, I should bring my bike then." I smiled at him, feeling as happiness crawled into my chest.
"It would be more proper if I was the one taking you there, but I want to race you." He held my waist and pecked my lips a few times. I still needed to get used to this San. I really liked it.
"I'm going to beat you." I scrunched my nose cutely.
"Okay, princess, but first, go change. I don't want you to catch a cold." He caressed my cheekbones.
"I'll bring you some clothes of dadâs, you'll catch a cold too otherwise." I kissed him quickly and then went inside the house, smiling like a fool, to grab some dry clothes.
 It was the middle of the night, but two engine sounds cut through the late-night life. We were going up on winding roads, forests covering both sides of the road. I was laughing beneath my helmet as San goofed around, slowing down and then speeding again. I think I have never felt more happier than right now. It was pure freedom going through these curvy roads, racing against each other. But in the end, it was just the two of us sharing our passion, riding our motorbikes, the moon shining upon us brightly, guiding our roads, showing our future ahead of us.
I finally knew I belonged somewhere, to someone. It was my hometown, and Choi San.

Porcelain Steve - Part 6
Part OneđŚPart TwođŚPart ThreeđŚPart FourđŚPart FiveđŚPart SixđŚPart SevenđŚPart EightđŚPart Nine
Even though he's expecting company, Eddie still jumps and yelps when his front door flies open without so much as a knock, revealing Dustin and Will.
"I know I said to let yourselves in, but a warning knock would have been nice," Eddie shoots them a glare, not bothering to stand from the couch where he'd been pretending to watch whatever terrible daytime movie was playing.
"Sorry," Will apologizes sheepishly while Dustin just laughs.
"Which of your moms dropped you off? If it's Claudia, I'm filing a complaint about how you were raised."
"Har har," Dustin says, swinging his backpack off and knelling down to unzip and dig into it. "We biked here."
"Lucky you, then. The complaint will wait."
Dustin wrestles a blanket from his backpack. Unwrapping it reveals Steve, hair rumpled but otherwise unharmed. "Alright. Delivered safely. We gotta go meet El and Mike now but we'll see you on Saturday, right?"
Eddie sets Steve on the couch, angled towards the TV. "Yeah. I get the feeling if I don't show for the barbeque that Joyce will show up here and drag me there by my ear."
"She would," Will confirms with an easy shrug. The boys turn to leave before Will exclaims, "Oh! Almost forgot!" before digging into his pocket for something, turning around to give it to Eddie.
"What?"
"El and Steve spoke again. He had a lot of things to say. I spent a good portion of the last three days writing down everything as El repeated it to me. This is your letter," he says, having successfully pulled out what looked to be a folded piece of paper out of his pocket.
"Oh," Eddie takes it, and realizes it's not just one folded piece of paper, but three. "Wow."
"Seems you are Steve's second favorite," Dustin grins at him from the doorway.
"You are first, I assume?"
"No. Robin is. She got five pages."
That tracks, actually. Eddie's not surprised Robin got the most pages.
Soon enough, the boys are off and Eddie returns to the couch, pulling his legs up to sit crisscross. "Alright, Stevie, let's see what you have to say."
He unfolds the pages completely and is met with Will's now familiar penmanship scrawled across the sheets of wide rule paper that has clearly been ripped from a composition notebook. He's seen Will's handwriting plenty over this last year, quickly scribbling notes during DnD sessions and on the little item cards Will makes himself to hand out when he DMs.
Will's handwriting isn't always the neatest, but this looks like Will took time, wanted his writing to be legible. Flipping through the papers he sees it is two pages, front and back, of a letter, and the third page is a list of questions in a different, neater handwriting. He gets the feeling that Will probably didn't paraphrase anything. How many people got letters? How much of Will and El's time was devoted to doing just this?
Eddie feels emotional over this, misty-eyed and a lump in his throat, and he hasn't even read the damn letter yet.
"Shit, Stevie, do you even realize how loved you are?" Eddie asks out loud, turning to look at Porcelain Steve like he might answer him this time. Blank hazel eyes stare forward. Eddie shakes his head, to clear away his thoughts, and gets to reading. Not out loud, because he doesn't want Steve to hear how wet his voice will sound.
Eddie,
I guess the first thing I want to say is thank you. I was kind of freaking out when I first woke up like this. It was calming, that day on the lawn, after Robin and Nancy found me. You were so chill and just chatted my ear off like you would have if I were, like, there. I mean, there there and not like, doll-there, if you get what I mean.
Shit, man, being stuck like this would have been a hell of a lot worse without you, I'm certain. Everyone's been great, of course, and, like, no offense meant, Will and El, but you act most normal. Helps me feel, well, I don't know how, exactly. Describing emotions is not something I'm like, good at. Robin's great, too, but she catastrophizes, you know? And since I can't speak back, she can get herself pretty worked up about this and I hate that. Hate that I can't do anything to help her.
Shit. This isn't your issue. Don't include that. No, wait, do. Sorry, El. (It is here, off in the margin, that Will has added 'I wrote everything word for word. Enjoy the asides to El and me.) Hanging out with you helps her, I think. She seems less anxious on days we spend with you. So, I guess, I also want to thank you for that. For being there for Robin when I can't.
Eddie has to pause there because he had no idea. Robin has been a grounding force for him this whole time. He had no idea he was doing the same for her. She never said, or let on... well, that was probably her goal and now Steve's spilled the beans.
This is getting easier to say, even if I still don't know how to feel about the other two people who are going to be privy to everything said, or I guess from your end, written here. (Here, Will has transcribed a conversation they seemed to have had in the middle of writing this up.) Oh. He means us. - El Yes. Don't worry Steve, we'll do our best to forget everything you've said once it's written down. - Will Steve laughed and says thanks. - El I appreciate that but- well, being honest there's some things I want to say but I don't want anyone else to hear. Those conversations are better left face to face, anyway. So, uhh, what else did I want to say?
Oh! Yeah, I told Robin she could drive around the Bimmer, so she can have a car while I'm- so she doesn't have to bike everywhere but knowing her she probably won't take me up on that offer. Maybe you can talk her into it? Or, maybe she'll be willing to drive your van around and you can take the bimmer.
"Jesus, Stevie, can't you just be okay with existing?" Eddie says it under his breath and tenses instantly. For a moment, he forgot that Steve was right there on the couch with him, could hear him. Now he has to explain himself because Steve's already heard, and without the context of how Eddie really means those words, they can sound judgmental. "Shit. Sorry. I just read the part about your car and, dude, you just don't know how to not try and be helpful, huh? I bet it's destroying you on the inside that you can't do anything. But Steve, you gotta know, we don't care about you because you're useful."
Steve, of course, can't reply, so Eddie goes back to the letter.
Uh, what else was there? Oh! Yeah! I don't get migraines here. Or, in this body? Or, whatever it is. I haven't had one since this happened. Also, no hearing issues. Though I find myself wishing to be completely deaf sometimes. I get that Max can listen to Kate Bush for a week straight, but I'd like a little variety. God, what I wouldn't give to listen to the Top 40 again. Don't say anything, Munson. I can already see your judgmental face at my music taste. Unlike you, I have the ability to like multiple types of music. The Top 40 AND that one song from, uhh, shit. Might not have migraines or hearing issues at the moment, but the memory is still as it was. Which means it is shit. That one song by that metal band where their name sounds like it's metal? You know who I mean. (In the margin, Will has just written five little question marks in a row ?????)
"The band you were thinking of, it's Metallica," Eddie says.
Not important. But, uh, the reason for telling you this. I was hoping you might smuggle me to a show the next time your band plays at the Hideout? Last time I tried to go it was too loud and gave me a migraine, you remember, but I think that I could listen to your whole show like this. We might as well take advantage of the perks of this shit situation, right? So, uh, I wouldn't mind if you did that. Or, like, had Robin or someone else bring me. Whichever.
Actually, wait, I lied, I do care which way. I've already had them pen down Robin's letter, so you'll have to pass this on, but I want Robin to take me. So, I can also watch the show, not just listen. That was the part I liked most, when I went last time, before I had to leave. Wait. Scratch that. Ask Argyle. Other than you, he seems like the only person willing to be caught holding me in public, mostly because I don't think he even knows how to be embarrassed. Jesus that was such a weird sentence to say. Holding me in public. Such a weird thing to experience, too.
Uh, anyway, I think that's it for now. Thanks for everything, Eddie.
"I think you're handling this loss of bodily autonomy rather well, Steve. This letter is a lot more positive than the one I would have written if our roles were reversed," Eddie says with a sigh. He can't help but wonder what Steve would have said in this letter if it hadn't had to be filtered through two teenagers first.
He looks to the last page, the list of questions, and is surprised to see that, mixed in with questions about which sports team is winning (he is not going to watch Sportsball for Steve. There has to be a line drawn somewhere and this is it. He will ask Wayne about it later and hate the glee he sees in his uncle's eyes because now he's going to have to pretend to like sports for the unforeseeable future) and for honest updates about their friends are questions about Eddie's campaign that he's rambled on about since Steve can't escape. Steve wants spoilers, wants to know what Eddie has planned.
Steve has actually been listening. He'd been operating on the assumption Steve just tunes him out when he gets going, unable to stop his brain to mouth filter when it comes to talking about Dungeons and Dragons and his current campaign.
"I'm at your list of questions now. I can't answer anything about sports, and don't think I'm unaware of how you asked me and not Lucas. I see what you are doing and I'm not going to fall for it. So, your first non-sportsball question here; How is Dustin doing, really? Well, that's a whole thing but overall, okay."
#steddie#my fic#porcelain steve#having steve write letters to everyone was sparked by jonathans even tho the wonder twins dont admit that#it was a passing comment when he walked in on Will explaining the difference between sorcerer and warlock to El and Porcelain Steve#just a quick 'i wonder what steve would have to say about this if he could talk'#and will and el were like! yes! what WOULD he say? El talk to him#and it evolved from there#also its not said because how would Eddie know? but the list of questions in different handwriting is Joyce's#to avoid campaign spoilers for Willâ el asked joyce to write that part#they go through all the questions but im not writing those#this was mostly to get a little bit of Steve in here#feels weird to write a steddie fic where steve hasnt even spoken until 9k+ words into the fic#especially since i am NOT a slow burn personâ not that i count this as slow burn#how do you define slow burn? does this count? help a girl out and let me know

âsummary: matt visits the reader in the hospital
âwarnings, notes: hospital setting, implied surgery, mentions breaking a bone + appendectomy/appendicitis, mention colostomy bag
"Matthew, I'm fine, swear on my life," You sigh, fiddling with the thin hospital blanket covering your lower body. Your cracked phone is sitting on your lap, displaying Matt's profile picture while youâre on a call together.
"Babe, youâre in the hospital, no one who's "fine" goes to the hospital," He grumbles. "Okay, I'm almost there. Iâm going to hang up now."
"Okay, bye. Love you."
"I love you, too."
You scan your barren hospital room. About two hours ago, you rode your bike to the hospital after feeling debilitating cramps. Looking back, the ambulance fee (a/n: 'muricađşđ¸đŤĄ) might have been worth it, because right before getting to the emergency room a particularly bad cramp hit you, and you lost your balance and fell off your bike, fracturing your wrist.
You ended up being diagnosed with appendicitis, getting your appendix taken out, and a splint on your right wrist (a/n: say that ten times fast lol) in the same hospital trip. Once you received your phone, which was damaged in the bike crash, you immediately called your boyfriend.
All of a sudden, your door bursts open, and your brunet boy runs toward you. You could tell he wanted to jump on your bed and hug you and give you a million kisses all over your face, but he was holding back in shock at your fragile state.
"Matt, c'mere," You smile, opening your arms, letting him know youâre okay. He leans over your bed and kisses your splint before burying his face in your neck. "Hey, It's okay, bud. I'm okay."
He pulls away, covering his face with his hands. "I'm sorry, I know. I just... I donât know. It's scary." He admits, taking a fingernail in his mouth.
You grab his arm to stop him. "Hey, none of that," you smile. Matt hesitantly pulls a chair beside your bed, rubbing his thumb against the back of your left hand. "What are your brothers doing?"
He shrugs. "Watching TV, I think? I kind of left in a rush," he chuckles nervously. "How are you?"
"Good, like I told you," you tease him. "Although, I think this place is haunted." You whisper, making him crack a smile. "Every so often, the stench of a colostomy bag wafts by my room. I think it's the ghost of an old man named... Matteo."
That gets a chuckle out of Matt. "Wow, not even trying to be subtle. I donât believe any old man is named Matteo, it's a pretty modern name, you know."
"Youâre right, I think his name was actually... Mortimer!"
Matt shakes his head as he lets out a full laugh. "Mortimer? What, is he from the 17th century?"
You shrug, smiling. "Maybe. You'll have to tell me if the colostomy bag smells like potatoes or Papa John's."
âa/n: sorry for the abrupt or odd ending, not really sure what else to add. thanks for reading!!

There's an arrow pointing to Rolf's head labelled "meaningless gesture." Drawing 2: Rolf is screaming at Kevin and pointing at him while Kevin looks off into the distance, exasperated. Rolf is yelling: "Rolf has had enough of your tomfoolery! I challenge you to a duel!" The drawing is captioned: "Third time this week". Drawing 3: Rolf is riding on Victor's back and Kevin is riding on Wilfred's back. Both of them are holding a lance and a shield, but Rolf's lance and shield look a little nicer while Kevin's lance has scotch tape showing and his shield looks scuffed. Victor is walking forward and Rolf is looking over at Kevin, eager, mouth open like he's talking to him but no dialogue is written. Kevin looks annoyed, and Wilfred just stands in place, wall eyed. Drawing 4: Small drawing of Rolf and Kevin walking and talking together while Rolf plays with a yo-yo. They're both smiling. Drawing 5: Chest up drawing of Rolf and Kevin looking at something to the left off screen. They both look bewildered.
IMAGE 2: Doodle page featuring Kevin and Ed from Ed, Edd n' Eddy. Drawing 1: Ed stands behind Kevin while Kevin stands in front of his bike protectively.

Drawing 2: Ed and Kevin look at something curiously off screen. They're drawn from the side and Kevin has to peek out from behind Ed. Drawing 3: Kevin stands inside his house and is holding a VHS box for a movie. He looks annoyed, his free hand on his hip, and says : "Aw man! I rented Attack of 100 Giant Squids & Nazz didn't want to watch it with me." In the window behind him, Ed is sprinting towards him. Drawing 4: Ed holds up a comic book called "Killer Pig" smiling, and says: "Wanna read the new comic I got?" Kevin responds: "Are there girls in it?" Drawing 5: Ed sits on his armchair, and points to something to the left off screen while kicking his legs. He says: "This is when the needle man shows up!" Kevin is hiding behind the chair, panicked, and peeking out from behind it. His back is pressed up against the chair. He responds: "Wow, that's great..." Drawing 6: Ed and Kevin are sitting on the floor, and Ed is holding a large bowl in his lap. Ed says: "I make my own popcorn sauce!" and text behind him reads (it's gravy). The gravy is covering the popcorn entirely, and Kevin looks over at it, disgusted. Drawing 7: Kevin and Ed are sitting on the floor watching TV. Only the top of the TV can be seen. Ed points at the screen and says: "This is the funniest part!". Text above it reads (most gore ever in a movie). Kevin looks disturbed. Drawing 8: Kevin and Ed are sitting on the floor, with their backs pressed up against each others'. They're both reading comics. Kevin's is called "mutant lymph node" and Ed's shows an advertisement for a yo-yo in the back. Kevin looks at Ed, looking aloof, and says: Pretty cool, I guess..." Ed looks back at Kevin, positively giddy. END ID]

Julian, On My Knees Part1
Young, broke, omega Julian Pankratz, Jaskier, finds a place to live. Sharing a nice little flat in the good part of town with a fit older alpha who's daughter just moved out. The room is perfect, his own bathroom, and his flatmate is probably the most gentle yet stern, buff and beautiful, and sweetest smelling alpha he's ever encountered. It's just perfect
At least he thought so. Stupid thin walls, stupid heat brain.
âHi! You must be Mister Rivia! Iâm Julian Alfred but everyone calls me Jaskier. Itâs wonderful to make your acquaintance.â The young man said quickly, in a chirpy way as his hand stuck out as soon as the front door swung open. His eyes squinted with how widely he smiled, the picture of happiness and joy.Â
Geralt shook his hand, taking in the chipper man.Â
He was nearly as tall as the older alpha, which was surprising but welcomed. Heâd be able to reach all the shelves, Geralt thought as he took stock. The boy had messy brown hair and a round baby face. Soft pink cheeks, sparkling blue eyes, smooth summer sun tinted skin, clean and nice. So much more beautiful than his profile picture.Â
Geralt nodded, turning to let the omega into the apartment, waving him in with a hand.Â
âHmm, this is the flat. Bathroomâs over there. I have my own so thatâs yours. Thatâs my room, you can knock if you need anything, I work from home mostly. Thereâs a mini fridge in your room, itâs older but if you want it out, I can remove it. The living room, the kitchen, I prep my food so please donât mess with my containers. I split it down the middle with electric tape to make it easier but itâs not a strict line.â Geralt explained as he walked the other man around the house, pointing at doors. He couldnât help but glance at the wide smile on the omega���s face.Â
Heâd explained the apartment over text when the boy said he was interested. It didnât take Geralt long to take the ad down and decide Julian Pankratz was the only applicant. He was young, only 22 years old, worked part time at a coffee shop and part time riding his bike around delivering food. He was an aspiring musician, liked staying in and watching movies, didnât have many friends in the city, and most importantly, he was an unwed, unmated Omega. Someone who wouldnât be bringing another alpha into the house at all hours of the night stinking up Geraltâs space.Â
Geralt knew another alpha in the house would only cause trouble. Betas didnât like all the rules about scenting in Geraltâs building, and most of the Omegas interested so far were 18 year olds who wanted someone to look after them once they left their parents house.Â
Julian, Jaskier, was different. Heâd said he wanted some freedom and space, just wanting one person to live with so he didnât get lonely but would let him be his own person. Someone to have his back and talk to but wouldnât smother him or try to parent him. Seemed like a good fit.Â
Geralt smiled a bit, amused, when Jaskierâs eyes widened and explored the kitchen, opening the fridge and cabinets. He almost forgot what it was like to be around someone with enthusiasm about everyday things, a youthful bounce in their step.Â
Jaskier couldnât hold in his excitement. The space was big and open, cool grey flooring with a big rug in the living room and well loved black leather couch and matching recliner, the tv was huge, the kitchen was huge, the cabinets were spacious, the fridge was big and had a nice freezer, and it smelled amazing, like warmth and clean laundry and a little like leather shoes. It was so much bigger than what Jaskier was hoping for, and so much bigger than what it should be for the price they had agreed to.Â
âWow this is nice! Iâm so excited! The last flat I was in had two bedrooms and I lived with seven people. Iâll make sure to pay rent on time and keep my space clean, sir. But um⌠can I ask you something about the room?â Jaskier asked as they made their way to the slightly ajar door. He stopped short of it, not reaching for the doorknob but standing patiently.Â
Geralt waited a minute for the boy to continue but Jaskier was waiting for the Alphaâs permission. Geralt liked that, it was respectful and pet something ingrained in his mind.Â
âYes?â Geralt asked as he stood beside the door heâd freshly painted, a nice light nearly white. He watched the omega look down at the floor, cheeks turning a cherry color. They had discussed house rules, rules for the complex, rent payments, but not quite the details of the actual. Apart from the contents and size.Â
âI'm an omega. I⌠have quite um veracious heats. Are the wallsâŚ?â Jaskier said in a timid way, embarrassment burning inside of him. Heâd only told Mister Rivia that he was an omega, heâd felt it was inappropriate to talk about his heats and such over text. He wanted to make a good impression on the alpha, didnât want him to think he was some floozy puppy looking for a mate and a free bed. He was a grown man, he wanted the alpha to see that. Even if he still had to ask about the ventilation and soundproofing.Â
Geralt understood immediately though, having had the room remodeled after Cirilla had presented. He wasnât shy about omegan issues, he had an omegan daughter, and had dealt with her issues. Not much scared him anymore. Nothing is more exhausting than a thirteen year old omega who wasnât scared to leave the house in her pajamas, barefoot, to walk two miles to McDonalds if you didnât wake up fast enough.Â
Geralt wasnât a blushing twenty year old alpha anymore, after all. He could handle having a screaming banshee in the house for a few days a month.Â
âYes, soundproof and insulated. You have your own thermostat, the door has a seal around it, and there are extra ventilation vents that lead out and not to the rest of the apartment or building. I had it specially remodeled to be⌠as comfortable as possible for an omega.â Geralt explained and pushed the door open, welcoming Jaskier inside. He stood by the door, wanting to keep the separation of Omegan Space and General Space very stark.Â
Jaskier walked in, eyes looking at the ten foot ceiling, the calm blue walls, the plush grey carpet, and the still plastic wrapped mattress Mister Rivia said would be provided sitting on a black metal bed frame that had a spiral patterned head and footboard. It was bare but somehow he could already picture where heâd put his things, hang his posters and pictures.Â
He looked at the closet with its louvered doors and the big window overlooking the park that was spread out next to the building. He could open it and get good fresh air or the warm sun, and hear the rain at night.Â
âWow⌠This is amazing, really. So much space and such soft carpeting⌠so plush. I'm really really happy. Thank you Mr. Rivia! Iâll go get the rest of my stuff, just a couple bags and my instruments and my ikea shelves.â Jaskier thanked graciously, and happily, nearly skipped, to the front door. The alpha was right behind him, grabbing some keys from the rings by the door.Â
âIâll help you. I have your copy of the key in my truck anyway.â Geralt said and couldnât help the small smile that smirked on his lips at the omegaâs genuine response.Â
âOh, thank you, dear.â Jaskier said as he slipped his shoes back on and opened the front door. He couldnât help but feel giddy. Heâd always dreamed of a place like this. So what if he had a smoking hot roommate who smelled so nice, it was only a bonus. He couldnât wait to get the plastic off that bed and sleep alone for the first time in⌠since he moved out of his parentâs house.Â
It was like heaven already.Â
~~~~~
Geralt was surprised about how much he enjoyed another manâs presence in his home. He liked the sound of Jaskier cooking in the kitchen, he liked that the omega would leave his bathroom door open after he got a shower and his scented steam would waft out, all honey sweet and warm, he liked that Jaskier would come quietly sit down and watch TV with him if he heard a show come on.Â
He liked when Jaskier sat on the kitchen counters under the bright white lights to tweak and fix his old second hand instruments. He liked that Jaskier would talk and talk, about his job, customers, his music, anything in the world and not get offended when Geralt didnât answer. The alpha found it soothing to have the chatter while eating dinner or breakfast. He liked that Jaskier hummed as he did laundry or washed dishes or swept, tunes that heâd hear on a guitar or keyboard after a few weeks. Geralt felt less lonely, like the hollow feeling he felt after Cirilla moved out was being filled, not in the same way his daughterâs presence did, no not at all, it was an all new feeling. It was nice.
Jaskier loved living in the apartment. He could open up his window and smoke when he got itchy for a cigarette, he could work late into the night and not worry about making too much noise, he could masturbate and not worry about the smell or his sounds, and Mister Rivia let him watch TV with him.Â
He loved that. He loved sitting by the older alpha, eating dinner with him, greeting him in the morning. He loved that Mister Rivia would ask him if he had a good day at work or if he was cold or if he got wet by the rain and then tell him to get a warm shower and put on some dry clothes before dinner. He liked that when he forgot his work apron and his name tag and his jacket, Mister Rivia caught him in the lobby of the building, all three in his hand and a gentle finger wag.Â
He loved being looked after. It wasnât overbearing, it was sweet.Â
They were happy together, Geralt made sure Jaskier knew when to be out of the apartment when his daughter or ex-wife was visiting, sending Jaskier off with a few dollars to get coffee or a snack. Jaskier gave Geralt ample warning when he was going into heat, making sure the alpha was okay with him to heat in the apartment before locking himself away in his room for a few days.Â
There were a few hiccups. Geralt had a yelling match in his office which made Jaskier cry and hide away at his friendâs house till Geralt called him, and swore it wouldnât happen again. Jaskier came home drunk, very drunk, and fell asleep half hung over his toilet, naked from the waist up, shoes left in the middle of the floor, front door left unlocked. Geralt had given him a strong talking to.Â
âThat is not safe Julian. If you ever get that drunk, where you canât keep yourself on your own feet, you call me. At least then I can lock our front door.â Jaskier had sniffled and nodded, making sure he had Geralt on speed dial.Â
And the one time they actually argued. Four months in and they had a fight. Jaskier wanted to hang up a new poster, a big framed thing. But he didnât ask where the step ladder was and thought it was too rude to stand on a dining room chair. So he stood on his computer chair. And left his bedroom door open.Â
Geralt had come home from a meeting at the office, tired and uncomfortable in his tailored suit. Heâd barely broken the entryway when he heard Jaskier scream out in fear. He found Jaskier crying, hand over his bloody knee. He was first concerned and scared but once he saw it was just carpet burn, and noticed the computer chair was tipped and the half hung poster, he was angry. He barely kept his voice from rising as Jaskier cried, yelling back.
 âIâm a grown man, I can do it by myself!â Jaskier had shouted, shoving away Geralt's concerned hands.Â
âObviously, if you used the right things. You should never stand on a swivel chair, Julian, You can be as grown as you want as long as you use your head! Donât be stupid Julian. Think.â Geralt had reprimanded, leaving a hand to help Jaskier to his feet. Jaskier had pouted and stomped to the bathroom, slamming the door. Geralt had huffed and slammed his own door.Â
Jaskier apologized and looked like a dog, tail tucked between his legs.Â
âIâm sorry. Just got scared.âÂ
âI forgive you. You know where the step ladder is, next time, use it. PleaseâÂ
And all was set back to normal.Â
Month after month, five had passed, their few disagreements passed easily, and soon Jaskier had been there for Christmas.Â
They had exchanged small gifts. Jaskier got Geralt a pair of new blue slippers because âGeralt yours are ugly and old, look these have really good insoles!â, and Geralt got Jaskier a nesting bundle of music print blankets and pillows.
 Jaskier had cried and told Geralt that it wasnât fair and that he shouldnât have spent so much money, âJaskier would it make you feel better if I said it was on sale?âÂ
âYeah, it would.âÂ
âIt was clearance, cost me barely anything.âÂ
âOkay good, lie to me if it makes me feel better.âÂ
âI willâ, Geralt had rubbed the omegaâs back until he stopped crying. Heâd made a note to himself to always tell Jaskier his gifts were cheap, even if they were $100 nesting bundles. In Geraltâs mind it was worth it, to see Jaskier tie the bundle to feel each piece, cotton, flannel, fuzzy material that Jaskier rubbed against his lips repeatedly until he hauled it all to his room with a big smile.Â
And then New Years and Jaskier sent Geralt a selfie, covered in glitter and glow sticks under a blanket of confetti and fireworks, right at 12:01. Geralt had saved the photo, he didnât know why, but the big smile on the omegaâs face and the way his cheeks were crimson red and eyes drunk dilated, it made Geraltâs heart jump. He didnât mention it to Eskel or Lambert when they asked why he was smiling at his phone during their poker game. Â
Then Valentineâs Day which was the worst because Jaskier was supposed to be in heat but heâd just started new hormonal heat aids, which supposedly were supposed to keep his cramps at bay, and they were making him crazy. He sobbed into a gallon of ice cream on the couch, covered in piles of blankets, watching some disgustingly cheesy romance movie with Brad Pitt.
Geralt was trying to finish a spreadsheet but each time he heard the omega sob, it felt like his heart was being ripped out, making him hurt. So he was out on the couch soon enough, rubbing the omegaâs back as he cried and babbled about how the medicine wasnât working and his stomach hurt and his head hurt and he felt starving and he was getting fat and a million other things. Geralt just shushed him and didnât say anything. Eventually Jaskier calmed down and fell asleep there on the sofa, leaving his empty tub of ice cream and spoon on the side table. Geralt put pillows behind his head, wiped his sticky face and hands with a damp paper towel, and turned the tv and lights off. It made Geralt feel better, even though he kept his door open, headphones half off. Just until Jaskier dragged himself to bed.Â
They liked living together, they liked having each other around. Just as roommates, as friends, as⌠whatever they were. They respected each other, never going into each other's bedrooms, Geralt never going into the omegaâs nest and Jaskier never stepping foot in the alphaâs den. They didnât talk about Yennefer or Jaskierâs heats.Â
They pretended to not hear each otherâs personal dramatics. Jaskier pretending to never hear Geraltâs phone calls with Yennefer or the late night binges on the candy he had stashed above the fridge. And Geralt never hearing the noises that came from Jaskierâs bathroom at 3am. Â
It was easy, it was a silent arrangement that worked.Â
Until it changed.

ETHAN LANDRY WITH DAUGHTER! READER. sorry hes such a girl dad if he ever got the chance to be a father. he'd be hella protective too once she grows older, worried abt boys when she ends up not being into guys :skull:
Delicate, Ethan Landry [ DRABBLES ]
â stop because you're so right hes such a girl dad
dad ethan landry x daughter reader! (PLATONIC.)
warnings ! â none.
ethan is so so gentle with you when you're first born. he's emotional and a nervous wreck but he looks down at you with such love, so happy to see his little girl for the first time <\3
-> "hey, sweetheart," he whispers to you softly as he's holding you for the first time. his eyes are teary and he's just so emotional because wow, you're his child. your mum laughs, "ethan â why are you crying?"
he quickly denies it, "i'm not!" he's rushing to wipe his tears away with one hand, the other holding you securely in his arms.
you're seven and riding your bike for the first time that ethan got you for your birthday. he's so smiley and giddy because you were so happy when you unwrapped the box, a contagious smile instantly lighting up your face.
-> he watches you as you peddle around on your little bike, training wheels attached so you can get used to it. he's watching in concern as you began to speed up quite a bit and calls out to you, "careful, baby!"
when you fall off your bike he's rushing over to you, making sure you're okay. you're crying and there's a few scrapes here and there but overall, you're okay.
he sighs in relief but hugs you and kisses your cheek. "you're okay, bug," he soothes as he gently wipes your tears.
"let's go inside and daddy'll put some band-aids on your ouchies, huh?" he smiles when you sniffle and hold his hand, following him inside.
when you first bring a guy friend over, you're sixteen. ethan is extremely attentive to this fact and makes constant excuses to go up to your room.
-> "hey bug, i made snacks," he says with a tight smile as his eyes (not-so) subtly scan the room.
"dad!" you groan but thank him. "thanks but we're trying to study, love you."
he glances at the boy suspiciously before walking out and back down to the living room where your mum is watching tv. she chuckles when ethan sits down with an irritated look on his face.
"hon, she's fine. just leave them be," she tells him as she gently pats his leg.
ethan grumbles something under his breath and your mum snorts in amusement but leaves it alone.
when you close the front door after saying goodbye to your friend, you turn around to see your dad and smile at him. "hey dad."
he looks at you suspiciously and says, "is that your boyfriend?"
he's taken aback when you fake gag and pretend to vomit, "ew! no, what the fuâ heck!" your eyes are wide, a disgusted expression on your face and he can't seem to understand.
"dad," you sigh, "i don't like him. he's not.. my type."
ethan cocks a brow, confused by your words and goes to question them before you continue.
"i like girls, dad," you whisper.
he snorts and pulls you into a hug, kissing your head gently. "sorry for assuming, bug. thank you for telling me, i love you."
this made me giggle omg ethan is so... ethan.

Our universe
Chapter 2 Pairing: Poly!OT8xoriginal chararters Rating: 18+ (slow-burning) Word Count: 1,019 Words Previous Chapter -> here
------
Exit 1117
If you were to turn off Exit 1117 you would find yourself one small two-way road that was freshly paved. At the end of this road sits a big black iron gate with a keypad standing off to the side.
89573586
Seonghwa entered the code quickly Like he had been doing it for years; he had. Pulling through the gate I could almost feel the tension drop slightly. Outside of the gates we had to be careful
Hongjoong would always remind us. Everyone out of the gates is an enemy. Everyone was always watching and listening, Waiting for someone to slip up. The stranger, Without a second thought, would snatch everything away from us and leave us dying of thirst in the cold wet cells.
He might be a little bit paranoid.
Pulling up to the house Seonghwa flips a switch on the side of the chrome bike to open the smaller Garage door to the second-floor catwalk. Before the bike was shut off, I was off and inside the house. Seonghwa's helmet was thrown onto the table next to the door.
"Angel" I could hear him shouting but I was already heading up the stairs and through the kitchen.
"Wow, Where is the fire?" Yeosang asked, He was still in his Black and Blue scrubs; As I speeded past him. Siren was sitting pretty at his feet, his head turning as I walked by, the Doberman didn't get up and follow like he normally does. "What happened" I could still hear him asking Presumably to Seonghwa as I went up the stairs.
I didn't stay to hear what was said heading to my room. Rocky was lying on my bed "Hi baby" I stopped for a second to scratch under his chin and then headed to the en-suite bathroom
*After shower*
Walking out into my bedroom, Siren and Rocky were lying at the foot of my bed. "Where is your brother" I said looking at them while twisting my hair into a messy bun Heading out the door.
At the very end of the hallway, the master room's door was cracked open. Walking over to it, I poked my head in. The black sheets laid bare, No Django. A mew off to the left above my head caught my attention "come here, Matz"
I turned around shutting the door behind me. If Matz was in there Django definitely wasn't. Heading back down the hall passing all shut doors. Yeosang room, Then mine, the music room, the library, And two small closets all the doors were closed.
Heading towards the stairs I looked down the stairs. Yeosang sat on the small round bench that seat at the entrance of the living room.
"to or fro?" I asked him laying my head on the banister "Too, unfortunately" He sat up once he put his shoe on, Still wearing the black and blue scrubs "Got to head to the clinic, The on-call doctor just called out. So I'm covering his shift tonight" He said standing
"Please be safe, Something weird is going on tonight," I said softly, My bottom lip poking out just a little bit. "I always am" He smiled slipping his bag over his shoulder, keys in hand heading out the door.
"Oh," Yeosang started turning back towards me. "Django is in Jongho's room if you're looking for him," He said then headed out the door.
"Jongho's room, That's different" I mumbled to myself heading back the few steps up the stairs and to the right towards the rest of the bedrooms.
Jongho's room was the next door on the right on the right side of the way. Wooyoung room was directly across the call with San's next to it ending with Mingi and Yunho's room at the end of the hall on the right side.
The door was left cracked open as well, Knocking softly I push the door open just enough to poke my head in.
Jongho was sitting up in his bed, A pillow under his left knee and an Icepak (with cute little bears) on top of it.
Django lay on the floor next to his bed. "Are you ok?" I asked stepping halfway into the room, Jongho muted the TV.
"I'm ok, Just a little bit sore today" he gave me a soft smile "But while you're here, would you bring me my pain pills?" I nodded stepping towards his long dresser where the little orange bottle lay.
"just a half," He said from behind me still on the bed. I nodded again opening and grabbing half a pill, I smiled to myself looking at the pills already cut in half.
Yeosang always cared about what and how much we took.
"Here," I said softly handing him the small pill and bending down next to Django. "Are you keeping Daddy safe?" I asked petting the black and brown Doberman's head, Stretching him between his ears. Django just sat there like the good-trained boy he is.
"Come here," Jongho said above me holding out his hand, the ice pack now sitting on the nightstand. I placed my hand in his letting him pull me down to his side.
I lay my head on his chest, Closing my eyes I could hear his heart beating under my head. "You have to understand where Hongjoong is coming from" Jongho started I cut by shooting up off his chest. "But I wasn't in danger" I started but stopped at the look he gave me, Laying my head back down.
"Ari, You are always in danger. You can't be with us and not be in danger." Jongho placed his hand on my head "The only place that you are halfway safe is inside the gates" He spoke calmly like he had been thinking about what to say for a while.
"You do know what we do right?" Jongho asked while running his hand through my hair pulling from the loose bun, Letting the soft curls fall on the bed. "I do," I said playing with his shift, Lifting it and letting it fall back down.
"Ok, then you know why we want to keep you safe. We try to distance you as much as we can, but we can't let you go too far. It's a balancing act if you will" I buried my face into his chest.
"We all have our jobs, Our public and private ones. We also have roles within the family" Now he was twisting a strand of my hair around his index finger.
"Hongjoong's job never stops, He never gets a break. So a lot of times it makes him a little bit paranoid, But for a good reason. His job is to keep the family safe." I knitted my brows a little bit confused, Looking up at Jongho.
He was looking straight ahead at the muted TV. "You are a part of this family, Ari. None of us want to risk losing you" He said sternly looking down at me now.
He kissed my forehead "Why don't you go see Yechan tomorrow, She should be at the office on Ninth Ave." Jongho started dragging his nails over my bare shoulder.
"Yunho and Mingi's Yechan? I asked a bit confused looking up at Jongho again. "Yes, She has been around for a very long time, especially with Yunho. I think it would do you some good talking to another girl" He smiled at me "You don't have to, Just think about it"
Jongho then padded my shoulder, Silently saying that he needed to get up. "Can you take Django outside?" he asked sitting up, He reached for his ice pack and then got off the bed. "I can," I told him as he headed to the other side of the room towards the bathroom.
"come on boy," I said patting my legs three times.
The family owns three Dobermans. the oldest of the three was Django, a classic black and brown. Siren was an albino with such blue eyes that they looked white or clear, and the youngest was a light chocolate brown; Rocky. Of the three Django was the best behaved. Jongho trained all three.
The black and brown Doberman followed me down the stairs to the sliding door in the living room. I whistled loudly and a moment later the other two Dobermans came down the stairs, following their brother out the door into the massive backyard.

Tokyo Revengers Boys taking you on a date! (or something like that)
Mikey
Mikey is calling. You pick up the phone. âHello?â âHi, (Y/N)! I am here.â You sit up on your bed. âWhat do you mean youâre here?â âI am here as in I am in front of your house ready to take you on a date!â âA date?? Right now??â âYes! Get dressed!â He hangs up and you look at your phone. Quickly you get up and walk to the closet. You decide on something more casual to wear. Grabbing your bag you run outside seeing Mikey waiting for you on his bike. âWow, (Y/N), you look stunning.â He gives you a cheeky grin as you get on his bike. âMikey, where are we going?â He looks at you. âGetting some dorayaki.â He starts his bike and drives to Shibuya. After a while of looking around he drags you to a shop and gets two dorayaki. Walking outside he takes you to sit down on a bench under a sakura tree. Mikey hands you the dorayaki. âThank you!â âAnything for you. I love you.â He grins and gives you a peck on the cheek.
Hanma
Itâs 2 am in the morning and the sound of some light tapping on your window wakes you. Looking to the window you see your boyfriend Hanma grinning devilishly. Walking up to the window you open it. âHan-â âHey doll, whatâs up?â He climbs inside your room and looks around. âFirst time being in your room, pretty cozy looking.â He turns to look at you. You have your arms crossed waiting for an explanation. Hanma chuckles as he embraces you in a hug. âSorry, I forgot that.â He places a kiss on your forehead as he lays down on your bed making himself at home. âShu, what the fuck are you doing here? Itâs 2 am.â, you start. âThanks, but I have a watch, so I know the time.â You roll your eyes. âNo, like. What are you doing here in the middle of the night?â Hanma looks at you and extends his arms waiting for you to come up to him. âSpending time with my babygirl, what else?â He grins as you come up to him. He wraps his arms around you and pulls you towards him turning on the TV. âWhat do you want to watch, babygirl?â
Chifuyu
Chifuyu looks around his room. He just cleaned up because in a few minutes you will show up to spend some time at his place. He sighs satisfied as he hears the doorbell. Chifuyu jogs over opening the door. â(Y/N)!â He smiles at you hugging you tightly. âI was so excited for you to come over!â You grin at him. âMe too, Fufu!â He blushes at the nickname you have for him and leads you to his room. You sit down on the edge of his bed as he strolls over. âI ordered us some food, itâll arrive in a few.â He grins as he sits down next to you wrapping his arm around your shoulders. He looks at you with a dreamy look on his face as he pulls you in for a kiss. You smile kissing him back. After a few seconds you pull away from the kiss and look at him. His expression softens and he plants another kiss on the top of your nose. After the food arrived you sit down on Chifuyus bed. He does the same while munching on some snack. He starts the game âIt takes Twoâ. Just as you play the game Chifuyu comes up behind you and wraps his arms around you while putting his head on yours. âLove you.â

Tagged by @sage-nebula - thanks! Haven't done one of these in ages!
Last Song: It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Fucking Deathwish by MCR. Managed to get tickets to one their shows next year and I'm getting way back into them.
Favorite Color: It's a toss-up between yellow and pink. Gave into the urge to live like a 12 year old girl and decked my room out in pink and gold when I got my own place!
Last Book: In all honesty, I haven't finished a regular printed book in ages. I think the most recent thing I read a part of was a book about childhood nutrition by Ellyn Satter. I really struggle to stay focused for long enough to enjoy reading a plain page of text, and tend toward graphic novels because it's easier to keep my eyes focused where they should be/my mind from wandering. More on those later!
Last Movie: 101 Dalmatians. My niece has been getting into old Disney movies lately and I'm loving it! It was my favorite growing up, and WOW it's darker than I remember.
Last TV Show: Brooklyn 99. We're one season away from done, and it's been pretty good? Not my favorite show ever or anything, but a fun thing to have on in the background while I'm working on another project!
Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Savory! I have a pretty minimal sweet tooth, and while I don't hate spicy food I feel like sometimes the heat overpowers the flavors.
Relationship Status: Single, 33 years strong. Mixed feelings on that.
Last Thing I Searched: Local assisted living options. My grandpa might be moving out here in the near future - still not 100% clear on if that's actually happening or not, but better to be informed!
Current Obsession: Lame answer, but my job! I just changed positions in my agency (Children's Services) and it's so fucking cool to see how things work on a wildly different end of the process from what I've spent the last 5 years on.
Looking Forward To: Vacation! The end of my job training and the start of my new work schedule lined up with the holidays in a way where I have nine full days off. (Close second: My roommate's birthday. I've been holding off on getting Veilguard until we can play it at the same time. Her grad school exams will be wrapping up right around then, and she already knows she's getting it as her birthday gift, lol.)
Favorite Drink: Latte, either iced or hot depending on the weather. Second place goes to the limeade flavored energy drink I had yesterday, which I can't stop craving.
Song Playing on a Loop in Your Head: Theme of Laura
Current Favorite Character: Hazel from Saga. Seeing her turn into a whole-ass person is so, so cool. I love her.
Fun Activity You Would Like to Get Into: I want to train Clover to ride alongside my bike. Still working on those leash manners, but someday!
Last Video Game: Silent Hill 2 Remake. I can't even begin to say how happy I am that it exists. I've always been into Silent Hill, but the old games were 100% inaccessible for me because I can't handle tank controls. I never thought I'd get to experience it firsthand, and it's been fucking delightful!
Last Comic/Graphic Novel: Saga. It's always Saga. My favorite story I've ever read, no competition. I'm in the middle of a reread, and it still either gives me goosebumps or makes me cry at least once a volume.
I'll tag @vodkacheesefries and @blondepomeranian! No pressure, but it's here if you feel like doing one of these!

Tom Holland sister blurb where she has a crush on Harrison and doesnât like it when the boys are rude to him as a joke
Harrison || Holland sister
Y/n was sitting in her room playing with her dolls, she had been playing for over an hour now. She picked out cute outfits for each doll, trying to find the best one for her most favourite one. She was very occupied, focusing on nothing but her toys. Well that was until she heard voices from downstairs. Normally she would ignore them and continue to play, however she heard a certain voice that made her sprint down the stairs.
Y/nâs little feet ran down the stairs, carful not to fall over whilst doing so. She knew that voice very well, it being from a person she grew very close with that no one had expected. âHwrrison!â She shouted, the male being in her full view now as he took his coat off, hanging it up.
Harrison eyes moved over to the young holland that adored him the most. He bent down his arms opening wide. âY/nnn!â He said in the exact same excited tone that she used.
Once she crashed into his arms he picked her up, spinning her around making the five year old giggle. Y/n cuddled into him, wrapping her tiny legs around his body. âI missed youâ She said like she usually would. Y/n would always miss Harrison, she would ask about him all the time to Tom or the other brothers.
âI missed you to my favourite Hollandâ he placed her down on the floor so he could greet the others, but she wouldnât let go.
âOi I heard that!â Harry said walking into the room with Tom who followed behind him. âY/n let go of him so I can say hi at leastâ Tom chuckles as his little sister let go of his best friend, him greeting with a bro hug. Tom always wondered when her obsession with Harrison had happened, he even wondered why. Ever since y/n could talk or walk she always went to Harrison loving him more than her actual brothers.
âHwrrison, I went on my bike ywsterday!â Y/n happily said, jumping up and down.
âDid you?!â Harrison said excited.
âYes and Tommy helped me to pedal, he taught me what to doâ You smiled at Tom. âWow, thatâs so cool. You need to show me one dayâ Harrison said walking into the kitchen following Tom who pulled out two beers and a juice for y/n.
They both moved into the living room, starting a conversation up as y/n quickly ran up the stairs, coming back down with her favourite blanket. She saw Harrison sitting directly across from Tom, so she climbed up onto the same sofa as him and snuggled into him with her blanket.
âDonât you wanna cuddle with me?â Tom asked, jealousy bubbling up inside him.
âNo, I want Hwrrisonâ She adverted her eyes to the tv, watching the program that was left on from earlier.
Y/n and the boys stayed in their potions, Harrisonâs arm around the girl letting her snuggle into him. This wasnât new to Harrison, no, he actually fount it quite cute the way his best friends sister would act around him. The way she would always call him off Toms phone or the way she would kiss his cheek when she said goodbye or even when she would help him play fight with the boys.
âHarrison shut up you divâ Sam laughed, slapping the boy on the arm. It was later on and the boys were still drinking, just talking about random things with light music in the background.
âHey! Dwnt hit him!â Y/n snapped suddenly, feeling the need to protect him. She rubbed his arm, which didnât hurt at all, glaring at Sam who looked at her with certain eyes. âYou okay?â The five year old turned her gaze to Haz.
All the boys were too confused to speak. Y/n had always hated it when the boys would joke around with Harrison, being mean to him even though he didnât mind it as he did it back. Harrison just nodded his head, âIâm fine donât worryâ He smiled at the girl who nodded her head.
âSomeone protectiveâ Tom chuckles as Y/n kisses where Sam hit Hazâs arm.
âMore like someone has a crushâ Harry joined in, laughing at his little sister. He knew it was more than just being obsessed with him, she had to have a crush on him no?
âWatch this, Harrison your so ugly!â Harry joked watching the girls face twitch. âHarrison actually stinks, ewwwâ Tom laughed and Harrison hid his laugh as the girl sprung up.
âNo he not! Your so rude, mummy said you should never say that to anywne! Haz is not ugly, he pretty. And smwll nicelyâ The girl smelt Harrison, earning a small chuckle from him. Y/n stood up walking over to Harry and Tom. âYour ugly and you stink, not himâ She said angrily.
Harrison smirked, âYeah your ugly and stinkâ He stuck his tongue out copying the little girls actions. Y/n walked back over to Harrison sitting in his lap to hug him, she kissed his cheek twice before looking at him. âYour pretty Hwrrisonâ She honestly said.
Harrison kissed her cheek, âAww, your pretty too y/nâ This made the little girl blush, getting off Harrison and giggling, hiding her face in her blanket.
âY/n has a crush on Harrison!â Sam cheered.
Y/n hid her face in her blanket more embarrassed. She never thought of Harrison like a brother she always liked him, she wouldnât let anyone be rude to him. âShut upâ The young holland said still hiding her face.
âItâs okay y/n. Sam is just stinks like feetâ Harrison laughed and so did she.
âWell Harrison doesnât showerâ Sam called taking a swing of his beer, regretting after as his younger sister got off the sofa mad.
âYES HE DOES!â Y/n shouts bolting to her brother to attack him.
I literally hate this, itâs rushed sorry.

Thicker Than Water by athena_crikey
Enjoyed the world building in this story. Loved the complexities of LZ and WYâs relationship. â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Quotes:
Wei Ying is looking around the interior, clean from last weekendâs vacuum. âNice car. I kind of pictured you driving a Porsche, or an Audi maybe. You know. Something sleek and sexy.â
Lan Zhan glances at him, and he grins. âI donât know. You just give off that mysterious hot dude aura. Like James Bond, but you know. Hopefully less misogynistic.â
His car is, in fact, a Honda Fit. He had been considering a Leaf, but his battle to get his Strata to install charging stations in his building has been an uphill one.
âThis has good mileage and a user-friendly eco-mode,â he says, fairly sure Wei Ying is not being serious but unable to reply in kind.
âWow Lan Zhan, you really sell it. Iâll put Honda on my list for future meâs vehicle choices.â
ââââ
Lan Zhan draws in a breath, slow, so deep his chest aches with it. He can feel his heart pressed tight within him, the feeling uncomfortable, distressing. But he canât just keep sitting here and letting Wei Ying carry the conversation. The conversation he initiated, and now finds himself unable even to lead.
âYou and I are very different,â he says, slowly. For once, Wei Ying doesnât interject. âYou are very different from anyone else in my life. I have been. Dazzled. By you. I thought that perhaps, despite our differences, despite my doubts, we could be⌠something.â
âAnd now you donât?â asks Wei Ying, quietly. Lan Zhan turns to look at him. Heâs sitting stiffly, his eyes wide, worried. For the first time he looks vulnerable â more than he did luring out a yao, more than he did walking into a house with a violent spectre.
âHow could we, when I cannot even find the words to tell you what I want?â
Wei Ying leans forward, reaches out and hooks his long fingers over Lan Zhanâs. âI thought that was a pretty clear message just now. Youâre right â we are different. Maybe too different â I donât know. But I want to find out. I want â I want the way you look at me, like Iâm the only person youâre thinking of.â
Lan Zhan swallows dryly, his throat tight. With fear, with desperation, but also for the first time with an ounce of hope. âYou are. Since we first met, I have not been able to stop thinking about you. Each time I see you, it just makes me want to see you again.â

Summary:
The Lans were one of the founding families of the Vancouver Guild; part of their legacy is to maintain their place in it for the benefit of all. Cultivation is important, essential, serious.
In the distance, something squeaks.
A disaster, is Lan Zhanâs first impression as the bike squeals to a halt on the far side of Song Lanâs car. The man riding it â and heâs tall, and lanky, and sure-footed â hops off and locks it to the carâs back door. The back door of a police vehicle. He pulls his helmet off to reveal long, sweat-soaked hair with a shaggy undercut, bright grey eyes, and a smile that launches like an arrow straight through Lan Zhanâs chest.
No, he thinks, watching this trainwreck of a man shimmy between the narrow space dividing Song Lanâs back bumper and the next carâs hood like heâs doing some kind of dance step. Absolutely not.

đ25 Dec '22đ´ââď¸đŚ´
Twas the night before christmas Louis' birthday when suddenly I recalled- I sat bolt up in shock- I'd forgotten a promise to yall! It was a christmas day, you see, back in 2018, that Simon Cowell dramatically demonstrated exactly how brilliant he is when thinking things up all on his own rather than taking credit for a woman's ideas- he would be starting a new band he said, of CGI monkeys!! One of them would be modelled after Harry Styles! Sadly someone slapped him out of whatever drugged stupor led to telling the press about that brainstorm, and we never heard about it again... except from me, who had made a vow to Never Forget and to bring it up every xmas forever and ever (because I can only assume Simon would hate that.) He still hasn't learned though, just this year he hyped up an AI deepfake of himself made with that very same technology- he really just so transparently wants a band without any pesky rebellious humans in it, yikes. The fact is, the man is a clown all year every year, so may I present⌠a 2022 review!
Sadly, the year's biggest Cowell news was but a hoax- he did not in fact die, yet. However, he did lose a tooth, get COVID, and fall off his electric bike and end up in the hospital AGAIN, proving that ill wishes (mine) can come true to some extent! And not to worry, there's still hope for next year- apparently he still bikes around without a helmet daily. A recent TV appearance had his fans (??! sounds fake but okay) "distracted by his incredibly smooth visage"- allegedly his botox and other modifications got to the point that his son was "in hysterics" at the site of him, a clever turn of phrase that implies tears but could also mean he was laughing his ass off- me too kid, me too. Although The Sun continue to print only flattering and respectful articles- almost as if they had some kind of relationship or agreement with him?! wow this is Brand New Information- the Daily Mail definitely got the brief that tis the season for making fun of Cowell, and have been running an endless series of articles about his "many faces through the years" and "melting mug". They were denied the opportunity with his most recent TV appearance however, as he did that interview with a shadow strategically cast across himself like a low tech witness protection gambit. Perhaps, I thought, some of the issue was with the confusing and scary sounding 25 pound face masks he was reportedly doing, but it turned out that was merely an audio based misunderstanding- it was sponcon for a ÂŁ25 face mask, boring.
He continues to talk up his son in interviews, bragging that the kid is a great talent spotter and he "leans on him" for opinions (that I can believe) but if you're skeptical that Simon would actually let himself be upstaged, you're quite right! Consider: he also had some things to say about what his cancelled show The X Factor would look like if it came back. The tabs report that he "is adamant that the judges should be industry insiders such as A&R people rather than artists because they are better judges of talent and less jealous of bright young artists.â Sounds like SOMEONE is jealous all right but it's not an artist judge! I think we all remember who stole the show and the hearts of multiple nations- not to mention those of scores of allegedly straight men- on the last season of TXF while spotting and nurturing the talent who went on to win it all, all while making fun of Simon at every opportunity: yes indeed, it was bright young artist and Guest Judge Louis Tomlinson! Gosh who could have seen THAT coming? Possibly the actual visionary of TXF, Nicole Scherzinger, another guest judge who upstaged Simon- most recently when footage of her forming 1D was finally released on the 10th anniversary. She said she was surprised it had survived, that she assumed he had "burned it" (to bolster his decade long lie that it was he who had had the world-changing idea.) But no, she says, in fact it was "the way that my mind grapes were working" which is, um, a very weird way of putting that, but it WORKED OUT GREAT so who am I to quibble with the way her grapejuice flows.
Meanwhile just when you thought we were free of NFT type annoyances Zayn invited us to join the metaverse, no thank you, but get that cash babe and a happy holidays to you and to all our boys: to Liam, acting like he has to make up for the few months off the radar by posting an equivalent amount of insta stories before the end of the year, to Niall, taking a break from taking over tiktok to tease about how busy he'll be next year, to Harry, dousing himself in freezing water in the UK while pap pics of him in LA were dropped, and to Louis, 31 (!!) now and hopefully with some wonderful plans over his long awaited break before another jam packed year of winning. And to all out there, a very let me be your good night and all the love!
#not doing updates anymore has really freed me up to pursue my true passion: making fun of jerks!#I need more stupid one off excuses to recap things this is very much my idea of a good time#anyone elses? well I guess we'll see about that lol#just call me santa I spend the year lurking#no comment on whether this cursed all simon cowell post is a lump of coal or a nice gift#you'll just have to decide if you've been bad or good out there I guess#but have you considered: its actually just an extremely self indulgent gift for myself#đkissy#25dec22#simons monkey band

OH THANKS! 114 sentences! Damn! Might have to break this one up, too.
SPOILERY - BEWARE:
---
Buck looks down at the floor, scratching his neck.Â
âHow can you be that sure?â May asks. âIsnât that the curse of this thing? It just⌠You think youâre fine, and then someone cuts their hand or⌠Or youâre a little overtired and⌠You feel dangerous.â
Eddie nods. âI know what you mean. But I know Iâm in control.â
Out of the corner of his eye, Buck sees Bobbyâs eyes narrow just a touch.Â
âHow?â May asks again.Â
Eddie takes a deep breath. Buck finds himself inadvertently leaning forward in his seat.Â
âThere was an accident,â Eddie says. âOn January 23rd.â
What is he talking about? An accident?
âI was somewhere between Plaskett and Gorda. Lots of campgrounds up there, around Big Sur. Easy way to survive.â
Buck has an image of Eddie traipsing around the woods like Smokey the Bear, stealing food from picnic baskets. A ridiculous conjuration, really. Buck can only imagine what he went through out in the wilderness. He doesnât know when, if ever, heâll be able to ask him.
âA woman was riding a bike on the road. Got hit. Driver took off.â Eddie explains. âShe was in bad shape. Wouldnât have lasted until paramedics got there.â
Mayâs eyes widen. âBlood?â
âEverywhere,â Eddie confirms.Â
âAnd youâŚâ
âHelped her. Used her phone to call 9-1-1. Did what I could. Ran when I heard the ambulance.â
May looks baffled. âYou didnâtâŚâ
âNo.â Eddie says. âI didnât. I didnât even really want to. I mean, I did. The want was always there. Just not as strong as my desire to help her. My brain worked harder than my body.â
Buck imagines him, pushing through the bloodlust like walking on hot coals, doing what he needed to do to save someone. To be exactly who he is. The truth of him. The heart of him.Â
âWow,â May whistles. âYou gotta show me your tricks, Eddie. Iâm pretty in good, but Iâm not that good. I havenât really been able to have much of a life beyond online work and classes.â
âYouâve been doing much better, baby.â Athena chimes in. Ever the fierce, protective mother.Â
âYeah, but I couldnât do that.â
âI have to be in control,â Eddie says. âFor my son and⌠Yeah.â
Bobby looks like he wants to say something. But, before he can, Athenaâs phone dings. She looks at her screen, frowns, then looks at May.
âEverything okay?â May asks.
âTurn on the TV,â Athena says. âTo the news.â
Brows furrowed, May reaches for a remote and does as sheâs asked. The screen lights up with a breaking news update of a press conference. From the fucking White House. Buck stiffens.Â
âWhatâs going on?â Eddie asks.Â
â-still so much we donât know about the disease,â a woman in a navy pants suit is saying into a microphone. The camera zooms in on her face. A pop up on the screen identifies her as Dr. Irina Mikhailov, Director of Outbreak Response and Prevention, CDC.Â
Well, shit.Â
âHowever, at this time, after many months of study, we can officially dispel some rumors and provide new information about Hemodhampirosis.â
âWhoa,â May whispers.Â
Buck swallows. He has a feeling this could be very bad for them.Â
Youâre so close, he thinks. So close to fixing it. The fucking CDC canât ruin it now.Â
âWe have found the disease to have four stages.â Dr. Mikhailov explains. âThe first stage is experienced by every patient. Stage One - Prodromal. This stage follows an incubation period of twelve to twenty-four hours, and is characterized by spontaneous cardiac arrest and restart, followed by long periods of intense impulsivity, violent outbursts, and bloodlust. Typically, the patient has little to no agency during Stage One. This can last up to two weeks, and varies greatly from patient to patient.â
âHow clinical,â Athena frowns.Â
Buck canât help but agree. The description canât begin to cover the terror of experiencing it. Watching it. Falling prey to it.Â
âStage Two we are calling Intermittent Disorganization.âÂ
Which makes it sound like someone a bit scatterbrained forgetting to clean out their garage. But sure.Â
âThis phase can last months. Between four and six, typically. Though perhaps more, depending on the patientâs access to care. It is characterized by bursts of the symptoms described in Stage One, usually in decreasing frequency as the patient gains more control of their faculties.â
âI hate this,â Eddie mumbles.
âYep,â May agrees. Buck can tell sheâs chewing the inside of her lip.
âStage Three is Dormancy. This stage occurs whenever Intermittent Disorganization ends in the individual. It is believed at this point that the individual is entirely lucid, save for any pre-existing conditions that may cause them to be otherwise. They have the ability to regulate their impulses and remember their actions. Violent decisions made during this stage are more akin to a choice than a lack of control.â

just a follow-up post (unrelated to ofmd btw) but i did end up watching all of good omens so far!
i had no idea it was based on a book so i went in totally blind only knowing what iâve seen on tumblr:
it was about an angel and a demon who were in love with each other
david tennant is a long time tumblr daddy from playing doctor who (although iâve personally never seen that show, iâve been on tumblr for long enough to remember the height of superwholock mania, wow am i old?)
in short, it was a lot! but a lot of good stuff! i went into the show pretty much solely interested in aziraphale and crowleyâs relationship and while i did end up really liking the agnes nutter/anathema device storyline & kids on bikes stuff i was mainly drawn to the friends-to-enemies-to-friends-lovers storyline of aziraphale & crowley. again i know itâs based off a book and people love it so please donât yell at me. i just have a severe case of brainrot from years of reading fanfiction and immediately being attracted to the will-they/wonât-they, âopposites attractâ style gay love of it all
so i was really looking forward to season 2 because i correctly suspected the show would focus on expanding aziraphale & crowleyâs relationship
full discourse i was really really stoned when i watching season 2 so most of it felt like a strangest fever dream ever with the magic show stuff and zombie nazis and the scene where crowley shrinks really small then grows ginormous while graverobbing and the jane austen style dancing scene and the exploding halo etc. i truly was like wtf is happening at certain points but i really enjoyed the absurdity of it all even if i was so confused
like with most ships i wish there had been a mature conversation between arizaphale and crowley about their feelings for each other but tv shows gotta cliffhang. that final scene with the confession of love and kiss was very emotional. the nightingale line only had me hollering bc i wasnât expecting it to come back! that was brutal, beautiful, very moving and sad too
anyways, congrats on the season 3 btw! (iâm not crying, only a little bit)
#good omens#good omen spoilers#fancy speaks#tried being somewhat intelligible#failed i think#my brain is couscous
