part one

summary: why do you treat her the same way as everyone else?

warnings: 18+, reader is flirty with anyone who breathes, no smut in this one but part two does have smut hehe

you’ve always loved the game. if you’re honest though, you love the reactions just as much. 

watching how people react to that smile of yours, the wink you’ve perfected, the easy charm that makes your teammates shake their heads with a smirk or roll their eyes but secretly smile, because it’s just so you. 

at bayern, you’ve earned yourself quite the reputation for being a flirt, sometimes during inappropriate times. 

your teammates have started making bets on how quickly you’ll charm or flirt someone new. it’s become a little tradition—how many days until you get the newbie to blush? your record— ten minutes after the new player arrived to bayern campus for training. 

throwback to 2022, when you were first teased by the community for being a flirt. you were in a league match against wolfsburg, and the game was getting intense. it was one of those tough battles where everything counts. 

you’re all over the field, slipping in and out of spaces, weaving your way through defenders as a midfielder. you feel eyes on you—the ref’s watching, maybe just to make sure you’re not pushing any boundaries. 

and, of course, you decide to push them anyway.

there’s a late tackle; your foot catches the ball just as you catch lena’s ankle shortly before. 

you got her the same way she gets your other teammates on the pitch. 

lena goes down, nothing too dramatic—just enough to make the point. the ref’s whistle blows, sharp and clear, and you’re up in an instant, wiping at your forehead with the back of your hand, and glancing at the ref with a small, cheeky grin. 

you’re almost positive the yellow card is coming out. in fact, she’s already reaching for it.

“oh, come on, audrey,” you say, flashing that practiced smile, all easy charm. 

was it inappropriate to call a ref by their name? maybe.. 

“surely, you don’t want to ruin your record of being my favorite referee?” your voice has that light, teasing lilt, and you can see the ref pause, hand hesitating over the card.

the ref gives you a once-over, a look that says really? but you know she’s flustered, if just a little, and you see her lips twitch. your hand rests on your hips as you smirk at the ref who’s an inch taller than you. 

audrey, the ref, chuckles despite herself, then shakes her head, tucking the card back into her pocket. 

“fine, you get this one. just this once. that’s your warning.”

you flash her a wink, all sunshine and charm, and mouth a quick, 

“thanks, beautiful,” before jogging away. in the crowd, a few fans catch the moment on camera. they catch the smirk on your face, the amused eye-roll from the ref, the way she can’t quite seem to hide the smile.

“what the actual fuck?” lena, who’s still in the green kit, stands up and gives you a questioning look. 

you shrug your shoulders at lena, before walking away towards pernille who was too focused to entertain your behaviors. 

by the end of the day, the video’s all over social media. 

“y/n flirting her way out of another yellow card”  reads one tweet with a thousand likes and counting. 

can you believe this girl? says another. 

tbh i’d do the same thing if i had to ref a bayern game.. another tweet with thousands of likes rolls onto your timeline. 

your teammates are sending it in the group chat, poking fun at you, but you just reply with a simple– works every time :) . they know you too well.

then there was that game against hoffenheim shortly after, where a midfielder came in too fast, misjudging her slide tackle. you see her coming but don’t fully dodge her in time, so she clips your leg, and you go down, rolling just a bit to make sure the ref doesn’t miss it. 

you’re not one to get worked up or start shouting at opponents, not when there’s a much more fun approach. as soon as the ref blows the whistle, you look up at the opponent with a grin, leaning on your elbow as if you’re lounging, not sprawled on the pitch.

“that wasn’t necessary, memeti.” you say, giving her that half-smile, the one that could make anyone melt a little. 

“if you wanted my attention, you didn’t have to tackle me.” the ref is already on her way over, but you’re focused on the player in front of you, who’s gone a bit red in the face, trying to play it cool. 

“shut up!” she rolled her eyes, but the blush on her face spoke for itself. 

“i can, but next time, maybe after the game– just ask for my number?” you tease.

the poor girl stumbles over her words, muttering a flustered apology that’s lost somewhere between a laugh and a mumble. 

the ref arrives, giving the hoffenheim player a yellow card with a look that says be more careful, but your focus is still on memeti, who’s looking anywhere but directly at you. 

“i’ll let it slide,” you say, standing up and patting her shoulder with a grin, 

“just this once.” you jog off while her teammate pulls her up, cheeks still pink, probably regretting the tackle but hopefully not the conversation.

later, that one’s trending too. clips of your cheeky grin as you flirt right in the middle of a serious game have fans in hysterics, filling the comments with laughing emojis, shipping suggestions, and endless comments.

the amount of “potential girlfriends” you have among the woso community couldn’t be counted on one hand. no wonder you had a reputation..

just before the olympics in 2024, you captained your national team against canada. your country’s watching, eyes on you as you step up to the role. 

the energy is high, the pressure intense, but you know how to ease the tension in the best way you know how. 

yes, you’re going to be serious in the captain role but that doesn’t mean that you couldn’t let go of your happy charm.

jessie fleming is on the opposition captaining canada, and you’ve always liked her style on the pitch—she’s calm, composed, a little serious in her focus, which only makes the idea of teasing her that much more tempting.

you stroll up to midfield for the coin toss, giving her a once-over with an exaggeratedly thoughtful expression. she’s polite, professional, and you know she’s not expecting anything out of the ordinary. 

that’s not exactly your brand, is it?

“you know, jessie,” you start, your voice all casual charm, 

“if i had known we’d be captains together, i might’ve dressed up a little.” she glances over, a faint smile tugging at her lips, but she’s still playing it cool.

“oh yeah? is this what sophia was telling me about?” she replies, a hint of challenge in her eyes.

you nod, shrugging your shoulders and giving her a once-over, your expression full of playfulness. 

“of course. i mean, it’s not every day i get to lead my team and have canada’s captain all to myself for a few seconds.” the ref flips the coin, and jessie calls it, winning the toss. she shakes her head at you, clearly amused but not giving in fully.

“just make sure you don’t get too distracted out there,” she says, raising an eyebrow. 

“wouldn’t want to see your team captain lose her focus.”

you flash her a grin. 

“oh, don’t worry about me. i’m great at multitasking.”

throughout the game, you keep it going. every now and then, you throw her a little smile when you’re in passing range. you can tell it’s getting to her, in the tiniest way, the slightest hesitation in her reactions, the way she sometimes looks down at the ground with a smile she’s trying to hide. 

your national teammates pick up on it too, nudging you, calling you out in the locker room afterward.

“really, y/n? flirting with the captain of the other team?”

“it’s a strategy mal,” you say with a grin, shrugging nonchalantly. 

“i’m surprised you haven’t caught feelings for any of these players you flirt with,” one of your teammates wraps their arm around your shoulder as you laugh lightly at their opinion. 

“well, its bound to happen someday. until then, just let me fool around—” 

later in the month, after the whistle blows in paris. you stood outside of the box with a bright smile on your face. 

you’re on cloud nine, body on fire with the energy of a thousand games. the stadium is a whirlwind of noise, the crowd erupting in cheers that roll over you like waves, mixing with the adrenaline that hasn’t faded from those final minutes. 

you’re laughing as sophia runs to jump into your arms, practically breathless as the magnitude of what you’ve done settles in. this isn’t just any win—it’s the paris olympics.

i’m a gold medalist! you think, the four words repeating in your head over and over again.

it feels impossibly surreal. there’s a dizzy, euphoric rush pounding in your chest, and every person on the pitch is a part of that ecstasy, celebrating like the world stopped for a moment, just for you and your team.

in the midst of the chaos, you find yourself pulled toward sam coffey, drawn in by that familiar, steady presence. she’s grinning just as hard as you are, a little breathless, her eyes shining with that same disbelief. 

though you know sam isn’t interested in you in that way, her friendship means a lot, and in this moment, it feels like she’s the only one who can ground you in the midst of all the noise.

without a second thought, you drape yourself over her shoulders, arms looping around her in an affectionate, nearly crushing hug. you rest your chin on her shoulder, feeling the warmth radiate from both of you, and laugh, the sound muffled against the shoulder of her jersey. 

“you were unreal out there, sam,” you say, still half-giddy, voice warm and low. 

“i mean it—what would I have done without my defensive midfielder.”

she huffs, amused but still a little embarrassed, nudging you with her shoulder. 

“oh, god, stop. i’m already overwhelmed, and now you’re getting all loving on me?” she says, trying to sound exasperated, but her voice is full of affection. 

“you and your never-ending charm routine...we won the gold medal, y/n. could you at least give us a break?”

you laugh, that joyful, easy laugh that’s only possible in moments like this, and shake your head, hugging her a little tighter. 

“flattering you is a public service, coffey, and i’m just doing my job,” you tease. 

“but don’t worry—straight women aren’t my type, anyway.”

for a split second, there’s silence before she bursts into laughter, the kind that’s contagious, her whole body shaking with it. she leans back a little, looking at you with a grin that says she’s torn between wanting to smack you and hug you back. 

“you’re actually the worst,” she says, her eyes twinkling with humor. 

“i can’t believe they let you near a microphone. you’ll flirt with anything that breathes.”

“hey, that’s not true,” you say, acting mock-offended, raising your hands in defense as you finally pull away, still laughing. 

“i’m very discerning.”

before you can respond, you feel a familiar arm drape around your shoulders and turn to see tierna, her own smile as bright as you’ve ever seen it, all warmth and pride as she takes in the absolute chaos around her. 

tierna’s always had a grounding presence, and with her, you share something special.. aka the bond of being teammates and being two of the very few openly queer players on the active roster. 

that small, shared understanding has always made your friendship feel effortless, a solid foundation that you both lean on in the busyness of national team life.

you turn to her with an affectionate grin, arms wrapping around her in a hug that’s just as warm and joyful as the one you’d given sam. 

“tierna, look at us—the open gays on the team winning gold!” you exclaim, laughter bubbling up as you hold her close. 

“i mean, seriously, what did we do to deserve this?”

tierna laughs, squeezing you just as tightly, and the two of you sway for a moment, laughing together at the absurdity of it all. 

“you know, i ask myself that every day, y/n,” she replies, her voice teasing but her smile soft and genuine. 

“but i guess putting up with you for years was our sacrifice to the football gods.”

“oh, come on,” you say, laughing, pulling back to look at her. 

“you know you’re lucky to have me. i mean, who else would make it their mission to get under the other team’s skin with a smile and a few praiseful words?”

“you’re ridiculous,” tierna says, shaking her head, but her gaze is fond, and there’s a deep pride in her eyes as she looks back at you. she’s been with you through the highs and lows, knows your quirks, and she understands better than most how much this gold medal means to you, not just for the win itself, but for the journey, for the battles you’ve fought and won just to be here.

coming back to munich after the olympics feels like settling into a warm, familiar hug. 

sure, the thrill of that gold medal still makes your heart race, but there’s a quiet kind of joy in returning to your bayern family, where the intensity of international competition eases into something softer, something a little closer to home. 

the lounge room is buzzing with familiar faces, and as you pour yourself a coffee, your eyes land on sydney. she’s wrapped in her red hoodie, her bronze medal tucked away somewhere, though you’d seen her flash it around proudly a few times already through the bayern group chats. 

you can’t help but grin, the sight of her bringing back memories of watching her team’s fierce fight against spain.

sydney’s just taking a sip when you wander over and, without much thought, place your head on her shoulder, letting out a playful sigh. 

“syd,” you say, your voice warm, 

“i just have to say this— i’m just so glad i got to watch germany whoop spain’s ass.” you squeeze her shoulder, the cheeky grin tugging at your lips impossible to hide.

sydney’s laugh is immediate, her shoulders shaking as she tries to hide her smile behind her mug. 

“don’t word it like that,” she scolds, trying to sound serious, but the sparkle in her eye gives her away. 

“we didn’t whoop anyone’s ass.”

you shrug, laughing softly, refusing to back down. 

“just calling it like i saw it! i mean, it’s true, and you know it.” 

“you’re just saying that because your ex plays for spain!” 

“woah woah!! don’t mention her now! take the compliment syd” you laugh as you remember your ex girlfriend, the goalkeeper at madrid who you haven't had contact with in nearly three years. 

before syd can respond, her girlfriend sam approaches, catching sight of you draped over sydney. you turn immediately, flashing her a mischievous grin. 

“scottish kerr! missed you so much,” you say, drawing out the words with dramatic flair. 

“i was lost without my favorite coffee partner. did you miss me at all while we were off with our national teams?”

sam chuckles, raising an eyebrow as she leans against the counter, crossing her arms. 

“miss you? please,” she teases, giving you a playful push before dragging your arms back into a hug. 

“you were probably too busy charming half the tournament to even notice i was gone. pretty sure the cameras caught you chatting your way towards that gold medal.”

“hey, that’s just part of my play style,” you say with a laugh, shrugging innocently.

“i was still thinking of you the whole time, sammy, i swear.” she rolls her eyes but smiles, reaching out to ruffle your hair.

just then, the door opens, and you glance up to see lea walk in, her eyes lighting up as she spots the group of you.

it’s the person beside her who catches your attention and makes you do a slight double-take—lena, with a brace over her knee and a slightly stiff walk with her crunches. 

you remember hearing about her ACL injury over the break, and seeing her now, a mixture of empathy and surprise runs through you. 

she meets your gaze, her expression softer than usual, and there’s a faint blush that rises to her cheeks when she notices you looking. 

she’s trying to act casual, but there’s a certain vulnerability in her stance that’s new. without a second thought, you straighten up, leaving your coffee to the side as you take a step toward her, a soft smile pulling at the corners of your mouth.

“hey, lena,” you say, keeping your voice warm and easy. 

“it’s good to see you. how’s the knee holding up?” 

lena shrugs, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. 

“it’s… getting there,” she says quietly, the slightest hint of embarrassment flashing across her face. 

“just wish i didn’t have to spend my first season with bayern stuck on the sidelines.”

you shake your head, quick to dismiss her worry.

“trust me, you’re exactly where you need to be. and honestly, i can handle getting you whatever you need—coffee, tea, water, a ride home? just sit down and relax that knee; we’ve got you.”

her eyes widen at the offer, surprise flickering across her face, and that faint blush deepens. your seriousness catches everyone by surprise, since you’re known for being silly with your bestfriend sydney.

“oh, uh, thanks,” she stammers, clearly a bit taken aback. 

“a water would be nice.”

you flash her a quick smile and head over to the fridge, grabbing a chilled bottle before passing it to her, giving her shoulder a gentle pat. 

“it’s all part of the team service, right? you’re with us now, so let me take care of you. no need to be so tough all the time.”

lena ducks her head slightly, clearly trying to hide her smile as she takes the bottle. 

“thanks, y/n,” she says, her voice soft, almost shy.

out of the corner of your eye, you notice lea watching the exchange with an amused grin, her eyebrow raising as she shares a knowing look with sydney and sam. 

lea has warned lena before that you’re, well, famously flirtatious with just about everyone. the line between your genuine kindness and your endless flirting can be hard to distinguish, and you’re certain she’s wondering if lena realizes this herself.

lena’s still looking at you, her gaze lingering for just a second longer than usual, and for once, you don’t mind letting her believe that maybe, just maybe, this moment was more than your usual personality.

“relax, okay? we’ve got all the time in the world,” you call out, still smiling at her as you handed her the water, the playful sparkle in your eyes softening just a bit as you watch her settle down on the couch.

throwback to the first day of the preseason, before the olympics, the sun hung high above the bayern training complex, casting a warm golden hue over the field that morning. 

your eyes caught sight of lena at the far end of the building where the medical rooms are, her hair was neatly pulled back into a ponytail, and she was dressed in the bold red of bayern—a stark contrast to her usual wolfsburg green. 

your heart skipped a beat; she looked undeniably hot. honestly, you forgot that she was transferring here. how? you weren’t sure, maybe too caught up into texting all of your contacts back during your free time.

anyways, you smirked at the taller girl and called out, 

“wow, ms. oberdorf! look at you in red instead of green. who knew it would suit you so well? red is definitely your color.”

lena turned at the sound of your voice, amusement dancing in her eyes. a soft chuckle escaped her lips, and you couldn’t help but notice how her smile lit up her face. 

“thanks, y/n. it’s nice to meet you too. very friendly of you to say,” she replied with a teasing tone, her eyebrows raised conspiratorially.

you shot her a playful glare, barely masking your laughter. 

“really? nice to meet you? friendly? come on, we’ve known each other for ages. you don’t need to act like we’re strangers.”

“hey, new season, new beginnings,” she said, shrugging playfully. 

“besides, we’ll be seeing each other every day now, so I thought I’d make a good first impression for you.”

“mission accomplished then,” you replied, your heart racing in a mix of flirtation and thrill. 

lea rolled her eyes seeing the both of her annoyingly flirtatious friends teasing each other, she might get annoyed by the second day of training! 

during the water break after sprinting for medical stuff, you caught sight of lena standing nearby, stretching her legs. 

you walked over towards her, noticing that she was sitting alone as most of her german national teammates were completing their own medicals as well. 

“you know, your thighs are making me jealous. i mean what the fuck lena? how?” you said, flashing a sly grin. 

“i could say a not-so-appropriate thing.. but I have to ask, is it just for show, or is there something else I should know about?”

lena’s laughter rang out, genuinely warm. 

“you’ll have to find out for yourself—you might just be joining me in lifting tomorrow,” she shot back, her voice lowering just enough to send your heart racing.

tomorrow came– and you were both outside on the pitch standing in line, your arms brushing against one another. the simple contact sent a wave of electricity through you. 

“you ready to get your ass beat?” lena teased, a smirk playing on her lips.

“in your dreams,” you shot back, a competitive glint in your eye as you looked down at the orange pennie you had to wear. 

“besides, I’m more worried about you trying to distract me with all that red.” 

“i’m taking that as a challenge, y/n,” she replied with a flirtatious wink, her tone playful yet confident.

as the drill began, you found yourselves running side by side. midway through, lena matched your pace, nudging you slightly with her shoulder. 

“got to keep up, y/n! I thought you said I looked hot in this color.” 

“only because it’s true,” you laughed, feeling the heat rise in your cheeks as you pushed her back. 

in that playful exchange, the world around you faded into a blur.

you joined in the drills, faking a stumble just slightly so you could fall back and end up beside her again. 

“you know, a little help wouldn’t hurt,” you said, brushing your arm against hers as you both jogged to the next station. 

“holding up okay in that red? it must be heavy from all the eyes looking at you.”

“don’t worry about me. i can handle it,” she shot back with confidence, and just as you turned to meet her gaze, she lightly bumped your shoulder, sending a jolt of warmth through you. 

before the national break that led into the olympics, lena and you had fun. obviously, you took training very seriously since you’re both world class players, but the small moments made your day. 

even if you didn’t want to admit it out loud.. 

training wrapped up and now you had to go home and pack for your 5am flight back to your country, play a few friendlies, then go to paris..

“y/n!” georgia called out, her voice teasing. 

“we just had to find you. you know, we couldn’t help but notice your little dance with lena during the last few days.”

“what are you talking about?” you replied, feigning innocence. 

the smile creeping onto your face betrayed you, and you felt your cheeks flush a little.

“oh, come on!” klara chimed in, stifling a laugh. 

“you two were practically vibing the entire time! I’ve never seen you on the receiving end of flirting like that. it was kind of… cute.”

“cute?” you echoed, trying to play it cool. 

“you’ve got it all wrong. we were just having fun. she just got here from wolfsburg and i figured she might want another friend who isn’t just lea..”

georgia raised her eyebrows, clearly unconvinced. 

“fun? that was more than fun, y/n! you’ve finally met your match.” she smirked, crossing her arms as she leaned closer, clearly enjoying your flustered reaction.

“please, you’re imagining things,” you protested, laughing as you felt your cheeks heat up even more. 

“lena and I just have great chemistry on the pitch according to the coach, that’s all.”

klara shook her head, a grin plastered on her face. 

“chemistry? or is it more like a connection? because from where we were standing, that looked like flirting at its finest.”

“you’re both ridiculous,” you retorted, trying to hide your embarrassment beneath a playful glare. 

“shut up already!”

“make us!” georgia shot back, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

“you might want to take a page from lena’s book on how to flirt, because it looked like you were a little bit overwhelmed there,” klara teased, nudging you playfully.

you tried to suppress your laughter but found it impossible.

“okay, okay, you win. I might be a little… flustered, but if you tell the rest of the team that i said that then you’re cooked buhl.” you point at the german with a smirk, your voice a little softer now as you thought back to your exchanges with lena. 

“though, it’s not a big deal.”

“it’s totally a big deal!” georgia insisted, her expression serious for a moment before she burst into laughter again. 

“just admit it, you’re into her. we’re here for the gossip, y/n!”

rolling your eyes but smiling, you glanced at the duo. you knew they were just teasing, but their encouragement had a way of making you feel both flattered and flustered. 

“I’m not giving you any shit,” you said, shaking your head.

“what’s it going to take for you to admit that she’s got you wrapped around her little finger?” klara pressed, both girls leaning in closer, clearly eager for more details.

you threw your hands up in mock surrender. 

“fine! I might think she’s interesting, okay? but that doesn’t mean anything!” the laughter that erupted around you made your heart feel light.

“it means everything!” georgia replied victoriously. 

back to the present.. the mid-september air signaled the approach of fall, and you found yourself wrapped in the cozy familiarity of bayern's campus. the evening breeze brought with it a sense of transition—not just in the season but in your life as well. 

stepping into your kitchen at home, you couldn’t help but smile at the prospect. your love for baking had been a hidden gem among your close peers, a talent and passion you reserved for only those you trusted. 

the thought of making banana and pumpkin loafs danced in your mind like autumn leaves caught in a playful wind.

after a few joyful hours in the kitchen alone, you pulled the loaves from the oven. 

today was just another training session, but you knew you’d see lena there. she had been working hard to recover from her acl injury. though, you made a mental note—lena had to try your banana and pumpkin loaf like the rest of the girls did when you first came from lyon.

as you arrived at the girls' dressing room, the chatter and laughter of your teammates immediately enveloped you. you placed two trays of beautifully baked loaves on the table, their golden tops glistening invitingly. 

the third tray, still covered in plastic, was reserved just for lena but you kept it away from the team’s eyes. 

glancing over, you noticed obi seated with lea, deep in conversation. there was something heartwarming about seeing lena smile, even if it was tinged with the exhaustion from her recovery.

you found yourself subtly watching her as she interacted with lea, a pang of curiosity stirring in your chest. surprisingly, your mind wandered to the saran-wrapped tray. you couldn’t shake the intrigue of it—what would lena think? what if she didn’t like bananas.. or pumpkin’s? you were being ridiculous.

as you turned to chat with kathi, who is recovering from her acl injury like lena, you felt a soft flutter of nerves each time you stole a glance at lena. 

the moment you leaned in to plant a gentle kiss on kathi's cheek, doing your best to encourage her as she had a moment of weakness about her recovery, you were acutely aware of lena's gaze on you. 

as the girls began to filter out of the dressing room after practice, you felt that familiar urgency rising within you. scanning the space, you spotted lena gathering her things. 

“hey, lena!” you called out, your voice cheerful amidst the fading sounds of chatter. 

“could you wait for me in the hallway for just a sec? i almost forgot something.”

she looked up, a hint of curiosity dancing in her eyes, but you could see a flicker of excitement as well. “sure,” she replied, a soft smile gracing her lips. you grinned back, heart racing, and hurried back into the dressing room to retrieve the tray meant just for her.

with the tray in your hands, you ran back into the hallway where lena was waiting. her eyes lit up when she saw you, and for a brief moment, it felt as if the entire world melted away, leaving just the two of you standing there.

“what’s that?” lena asked, glancing at the tray covered with plastic wrap. you could see the intrigue in her expression, a mixture of curiosity and hunger that made your heart flutter. 

“this?” you said, lifting the tray slightly and unveiling it a moment later. “it’s for you.” 

her brows knit together in surprise. “for me? really? why?”

“because that’s what friends are for,” you replied, the words spilling out with conviction even though they felt too simple for what you were beginning to feel. 

as you handed the loaf to her, you felt a flutter in your chest. lena's fingers brushed against yours, an innocent contact that sent a warm shiver coursing through your body. 

this is not normal for someone who flirts with women like its her second job. 

“thank you, y/n. this means a lot,” she said, her voice soft and genuine.

“no prob.. i might just be the secret ingredient for your recovery.”

lena laughed lightly, a sound so lovely it played like music in your ears. “you definitely are,” she replied, her tone warm, her eyes sparkling.

“see you tomorrow for practice?” you asked, trying to maintain your composure while dodging the swirling feelings inside you.

“absolutely. you’d better bring more of this deliciousness,” lena replied playfully, hefting the tray as if it were a precious gem.

as you turned to walk away, your mind began to plague. what was this? you had always been a flirt, known in your circles for your charm and charisma, but lena felt different. you couldn’t shake the thought that perhaps this flirtation was unfolding into something else. 

part two here

Harbinger of the Apocalypse- Silas Laeratin from "One Knight Stand" by @oneknightstand-if

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that."

Decided to put my insane ramblings in the readmore because, man, I have some thoughts and I don't want my tags to look like a bloated monstrosity.

First of course I have to praise this wonderful work. The customization is astounding but what I really enjoyed was the flavor dialogue. Sometimes it's subtle but it flows so naturally that it really makes you feel that you have a person as an MC. The world and characters feel real and alive and like they've got their own thing going on. Also the EXTREME PARANOIA I get reading dialogue or looking at answers to asks is fun in a masochistic way. What are the lies? The truths? Who knows! All I know is I'm going to have a mental freak out by the end of it and I'll be thankful for the ride.

Anyway, back to my precious fae(ry) boy, too good for this world (maybe. Backstory still pending). Surely being a trusting bleeding heart will not backfire at all in the apocalyptic game of Amoung Us. Honestly the characters are all so good so I can only imagine that I'm going to scream no matter who ends up being the traitor (side eyes Merlin). At least he'll always have his trusty iron lamp and Audrey III! No, he isn't a masochist why do you ask?

Anyway, Silas Laeratin. Changeling. Taken from an abusive home and placed in the care of a loving if aging couple. I headcanon this is where he decided to be a paramedic, taking care of these people who loved him despite his weirdness and scars until their end. He wants to help people like he was helped. He wants to be human and if he stops helping, stops being near them maybe he'll forget what that means. Smoking and sleeping help dampen that worry. Reminds him of "home".

Also lucid dreaming because that sounds like a massively fae skill. Buzzing around dreams. Wish we could drag the others in front of Arthur in the dream for a Royal Vibe Check but alas. Hard way it is. Also poor Arthur man. Silas just wants to go into the dream so he can talk and hangout with the poor guy. Seems like he can use some company that isn't an unknowable horror.

Adrian is his gardening and fencing friend! Partners in nerdism and carnivorous plant propaganda. It's so fun teasing him. No crush but man is it enjoyable to see this man flustered. I think Silas would like to say outlandish things to get this man to smile. Also tease him with tongue twisters and riddles. I apologize for all the times he's going to have to potato sack Silas away from suicidally trying to help someone. Or sleeping with Merlin which is probably what he's going to do if offered in Chapter 3. The side eye Silas is going to get will be legendary. Sorry Adrian. Not my fault Merlin is stupid hot and also funny.

OM Demons & Their Broadway Duets

A.k.a the duet you two perform together that’s just a lil bit too on the nose

LUCIFER

You cannot tell me that he’s Not the same person as Hades

Mans has shit to do!!

But that doesn’t stop him from wanting you one bit

He knows he can seduce you, and that’s exactly what he will do

Also has that Stunningly deep voice thats just perfect for this roll

Enjoys making you squirm on stage with his words and voice

Probably circles around you whilst singing

10/10 very hot

Will def invite you to see him after the performance for some quality time

MAMMON

The exact kind of greedy, insecure loving he needs

He wants to sing more because “The Great Mammon deserves the spotlight”

So he sings Elphaba

Tbh, finds it really therapeutic to express his feelings for you so wholly

LOVES that its so intimate; he gets to hold you, with an undeniable excuse!

Gets so flustered during rehearsals

Only makes him love you more

Listens to it often, cause it makes him happy to think of you

He will deny this

LEVIATHAN

He would have died if it was a romance duet, c’mon guys

He was struggling getting on stage as is

So getting to pretend to play video games, right next to you in stage while talking about how he hates everyone else?

Perfect

Has the audio clip of you saying “is it really true, i’m your favourite person”

Listens to it daily

Actually has an Amazing voice, holy shit

It’s Your song and no one else can sing it with you

Probs get the matching pac-man tattoo from the original musical

SATAN

As said before, a hopeless romantic to the core

Thinks this entire musical is god tier

The only one to know and love the entire musical connected to your performance

You see it together “as research” before doing the scene together

Perfect on stage, as expected

Probs cups your face for a Significant portion of the song

Loves being to protector, instead of the persecutor; like he is so often made out to be

Will sing it to you quietly as you slow-dance in his room in the early hours of the morning

Wants it to be the first dance at your inevitable wedding

ASMODEUS

Guess who’s back on their asmo-is-baby bullshit

Mans relates to Audrey So Hard

So its only right he plays her part

You are his Seymor

He tries not to think about it, or else he’ll cry

Thinks its a really beautiful song

Don’t tell him the ending of Little Shop of Horrors, he’ll be devastated

ADORES being on stage, makes every minute of it

Kisses you as soon as the songs over, so deeply and passionately

The audience goes wild

Both of you are grinning wildly

BEELZELBUB

He’s more than happy to sing a song about loving you in front of as many people as you want

Honestly just happy to be spending time with you

Sings Zoe, because he just wants to reassure you that he loves you

Like Lucifer, has a beautifully deep voice

Constantly checking you’re not as insecure as Evan

Makes sure you know he loves you, even if you aren’t insecure in the slightest

A custom bed needs to be built for the two of you to sit on for the scene bc he’s so Large

Puts his heart into the line “I don’t want you to fix what I’d rather forget”, because he needs you to know that you aren’t a replacement for Lilith

He loves you, as you.

BELPHAGOR

Idk what bullying you had to do to get this but go you ig???

Hates JD with a passion

He reminds him too much of how he was during his time in the attic

But it’s almost like a redemption for him; he can do it again but this time he chooses you

He chooses you instead of the anger, the hurt

Voice is probs really raspy because he’s always sleeping

Didn’t do rehearsals, just wung it on opening night

Enforced naptime afterwards

DIAVOLO

Listen, this is Very Directed

He chose this song for a reason; he needs his people to know that loving you is not a political choice

He just loves you

Relates more to Alyssa, but sings Emma for impact

Probs doesn’t have time to be doing something like this??

Barbatos is On Him for the overdue paperwork

But this is Fun

And it’s with You

He loves preforming

Probs has a good vibrato too

Post show fancy dinner date 💕💕

BARBATOS

l i s t e n

Mans is perfect for Warner

Is more than happy to let you have the spotlight

Loves being able to say he loves you so plainly

Sometimes the song makes him think about the realities where you stayed in the human realm

It makes him grateful that you chose the Devildom

That you chose him

But he tries not to linger, because you both have a song to do

Master of honey tea before going on stage

Warm them vocal chords UP

Always praises you on how wonderful you were the second that mics are off

[rayraygo1267]

Gabenath Headcanons

Note: Let’s just pretend that the season 5 final didn’t happen. These two are canon in my heart.

Nathalie and Gabriel were each other’s first kiss

Gabriel and Nathalie shared their first kiss at a college party in a game of spin the bottle

When Gabriel plays the piano he always asks Nathalie to sing along

Gabriel often finds himself sketching images of Nathalie when working on new designs

When Nathalie, Gabriel and Emilie met, Emilie was secretly shipping Gabenath

Gabriel asks for Nathalie’s opinions on his designs and lets her be the first to try them on

Nathalie is the dominant one in the relationship and you cannot convince me otherwise

When Gabriel found out Emilie was pregnant with Adrien, Nathalie was the first person he told

Nathalie always eats whatever Gabriel makes even if it’s disgusting just to make him happy

Nathalie sometimes wears stilettos in hopes Gabriel will notice

Gabriel and Nathalie make it a habit to play at least one round of chess every night

Gabriel sucks at chess because he gets distracted by Nathalie

Nathalie is the only person to make Gabriel smile/laugh since what happened to Emilie

Before Gabriel gave Emilie’s ring to Nathalie he got it sized so that it would fit her perfectly

Gabriel designs (most of) if not all of Nathalie’s clothes

Nathalie always gets flustered when people mistakenly call her “Mrs. Agreste” but Gabriel finds it endearing

When Nathalie isn’t feeling well Gabriel will stay with her and read and (or) sing for her until she falls asleep

Sometimes Gabriel has to hide the peacock miraculous from Nathalie to keep her safe

Nathalie always makes sure Gabriel gets to where he needs to be on time

Nathalie never hesitates to put Gabriel in his place

Gabriel would never tell her but he loves when Nathalie puts her hair down

Gabriel can’t help but smile whenever he hears Nathalie singing in the shower

Adrien does not hesitate in calling out both Nathalie and Gabriel for being in love with each other even if it aggravates them

Gabriel does not let anybody (especially people like Audrey Bourgeois) disrespect his personal assistant

Gabriel often ponders how he can show Nathalie how grateful he is for her

Both Duusu and Nooroo have given their holders advice on how to flirt with one another

BATIM/BATDR ship headcannons????

-i am not doing every single god damn ship so i'm only doing ones that i actually like. Also the BATDR ones are purely what everyone else theorizes or what I think personally about what happens after-

Sammy x Norman:

- Sammy's defiantly a bottom ong

-Norman does most of the cleaning up after se-

-Their first kiss was purely accident, Sammy was facing a different way while Norman was coming over to ask him something. Sammy turned and BLAM they kissed

-Norman towers over Sammy.

-Whenever Sammy tries to tease Norman, he teases him back, making Sammy flustered.

-At first glance Sammy looks like the dom/teasing one and Norman the Sub/easily flustered one. In reality its the complete opposite.

-Neither of them actually confessed. Norman invited Sammy to lunch one day, they had a good time, went for a walk around NY, went to Normans house, kissed, fucked, then boom dating.

-(in machine) Sammy tried to convince Norman to pray to bendy once...it ending in a hour long chase, a little fucking, then Sammy getting killed

-(After BATDR) Norman didnt get his body back cause..idk...so Sammy just carries him on his shoulder or holds him since he can't walk anymore *o^o poor Norman*

Susie x Sammy:

-Susie hinted for the longest time about her liking him, Sammy just thought she was weird

-Their first date was in the recording booth while working after time, their first REAL date was at a nice little dinner.

-Susie once made Sammy a chocolate cake..just for Wally to eat it *not referencing to the game at all*

-Sammy's first kiss with Susie was the day after getting hammered..and still being a little drunk the next day...

-Susie normally wears flats, but when she wears heals she's taller than Sammy by half an inch

-(in machine) Susie once caught Sammy in her domain, so she went out of her way to hunt him down, flirt with him, get things all loving, then stabbed him in the chest, took his mask off, then left. *we love sammy abuse >v<*

-(After BATDR) After Susie got her memories back the first thing she did was kiss Sammy, stab him in the shoulder than go apologize to everyone (Henry, Buddy, 'Allison', ext.)

Henry x Linda:

-Highschool sweethearts ong

-Their first kiss was at night with the NY lights all around them..or underneath a tree getting ready for the fall weather.

-They waited till after marriage to have kids

-Henry proposed to her while on vacation to somewhere that wasnt at JDS or NY

-They had two kids, a boy and a girl *....no i am NOT getting that from a really good comic that you guys should defiantly go read...*

-(in machine) Henry would fiddle with his wedding ring whenever he was sad, nervous or thought about Linda

-(After BATDR) Audrey made an ink version of Linda so that Henry would have his love with him forever

Allison x Thomas:

-They first met after Allison almost face planted into the floor cause she slipped on ink

-Wally set up their first work date. Which was just moving table and chairs to the side then playing music on a record player. Not so romantic but Allison enjoyed it.

-Thomas is actually really quiet, unless it's just him and Allison

-They got married after they got fired from JDS

(Ink clones)

-Alison doesn't mind that Tom can't talk, they actually made up a system for them to talk to each other

(After BATDR)

-Allison and Tom had gotten the memory's of Alison Pedal and Thomas Connor after Audrey took control. So they decided to have their own mini wedding. Which Henry was the priest, Sammy composed music, Alice(Susie)the bridesmaid and Buddy the best man, and Dappers the ring barrier.

Miraculous Headcanons: LGBTQ+ edition

Marinette - chaotically bisexual

Marinette is obviously attracted to Adrien and has been mentioned to like other male characters romantically in the show but is seen in moments being flustered with female characters also (at one point I felt like she was queer coded) but she definitely gives me big bisexual energy.

Alya - straight ally

I cant really see Alya any other way, I think shes attracted to guys for the most part, thats not to say she wouldn’t make for a good bisexual or pansexual character but I see her as heterosexual.

Nino - straight ally

I can’t see him any other way either. He loves Alya.

Adrien - straight

Chloe - Sapphic (major comphet)

Chloe is a character I really want to touch on more, despite Thomas and the other writers basically saying, “fuck her” I believe she had potential with character development and progressing in the series but like with any side character in this show the writers decided to ship her off to NY with her abusive mother who rarely acknoweledges her existence. The only person we really see Chloe take romantic interest in is Adrien but it’s really stale as the only downright real reason she does like him is because he’s rich and a model not really anything else (like personality, if he even has one anyways...lol) but her interactions with Sabrina are interesting tho, I’d say while it’d be nice to see her as sapphic struggling to come to terms with that part of her identity, (this would make for good character development & personality shifts) both Audrey & Andre are definitely the type of parents to be homphobic.

Sabrina - straight (possibly bi?)

I simply don’t think Sabrina is into girls, with Chloe being an exception but theres difference between friendship and romantic feelings. She puts up with Chloe more than anybody in the show does and doesn’t show interest in any males (doesn’t automatically mean she’s into girls; alike Clawdeen) but she could still be straight and just really likes Chloe (though it’s not healthy because why would u want to put up with anyone like that? not unless she has really low self esteem issues.

Lila - Unlabeled

Lila’s the type of character that there are endless possibilities of who and what she is. I get the sense that she could fake her sexuality one day and be another the next (literally) her character is highly flexible and can fit whatever situation it calls for.

Kagami - Lesbian/Sapphic (comphet issues)

When Kagami was introduced, I liked her character she was characterized with high confidence, sharp wit, intelligence, grace, straight-forwardness, though socially inept she was ready to make friends and meet people. I could not. for the love of Christ see what she saw in Adrien. Hell, same with Chloe or Marinette. he has zero backbone, no passions other than the ones inflicted on him by his dad, and is described as literally “perfect” depsite not being so. For that reason, I could not see Adrien & Kagami as a couple. While i stopped watching the show a long time ago, I enjoyed the Marigami moments indefinitely.

Luka - Bisexual

Do I need to say anymore.

Saudade: The Truth about Audrey

Author's Note: I have not been active much lately, apologies for that. This chapter was surprisingly hard to write due to its very personal nature. Now that it's out, I'll be back to answer comments, asks, and get to those tag games.

This chapter does come with TW: Eating disorders, infertility, pregnancy, mentions of vomiting, very brief mention of suicidal thoughts.

The Truth about Audrey

That wasn't good enough for Shawn. "Are you tryin' to sabotage our family?"

Jon stared at him. "No!"

"Well, why did you pick a fight with her then?" The teen got within an inch of his nose. Hurt and fear mixed with the anger in his eyes. "Is this what you do before you breakup with a girl? Pick a fight and then take them to that stupid Italian restaurant?"

Shawn's mouth fell open in shock as he heard his own words. "Is that what you're gettin' ready to do? Take us to La Familia and dump us?!"

I love yous had been exchanged all around.

The ring was in Jon's dresser drawer.

The guardianship paperwork in his desk drawer.

All he needed to do now was ask the question and sign the dotted line.

And try to ignore the nagging feeling that something was seriously wrong with Audrey.

He grabbed her and held the sprayer out of her reach which wasn't hard to do as small as she was. It was while he was playing keep away with one arm around her that he realized not only did she look different, but she felt different too.

"Hey," he said to her in a low, deep voice.

She looked up at him with a curious expression.

He moved closer to her, caught her by the waist, and spun her around. "Let's eat in the livin' room," he suggested kissing the tip of her nose.

This display of affection seemed to fluster her more.

"Why do you want to eat in there?"

A sly smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. "No kids. No Feeny."

Audrey stared at him.

The smirk grew. He slipped a hand behind her head and kissed her again, tender and lingering.

That was a mistake.

It was his concern that was the reason he wanted the change in seating. The closer she was the less likely he felt he would be to miss anything unusual with her eating habits. But being alone with her was testing the strength of his willpower. Between that and his concern for her he felt like a bomb on countdown, moments away from zero.

He knew her past ;  he knew her present.  More than anything, he  wanted to know her future.

Looking down at her all he could see was her hair, messily sprawled over them both. The flame of her tresses was dulled to embers, matted and damp with sweat, the length tangled and twisted into thin strands. Her breath was erratic and jagged, but the sorrowful gulps of weeping he heard were not coming from her.

They were coming from him.

He was holding her at her weakest point, he realized.

And he loved her so much more than before he broke open the bathroom door.

"Bulimia isn't a medical condition it's psychological."

"Meanin'?" Shawn knew what it meant. He'd heard it before, but in regard to addiction and alcoholism.

Like Chet and Virna.

A panic swelled up in Shawn as he realized what that meant.

No, this is wrong! His mind screamed. Because if it was true, it would mean Audrey was the same as his so-called parents.

He refused to accept this.

She was  the dead opposite of Virna.

Jon was wrong.

"Shawn, there isn't gonna be any explainin'. We will take her up there this weekend, and we will come back here."

His mind kept rejecting what Jon was saying. "You're just gonna leave her alone?"

"She won't be alone." Jon let go of his hand. "You know her advisor is an old family friend. He'll stay with her until someone from her mom's side of the family can come over."

Shawn stared at him with mouth agape. An inexplicable rage engulfed him, and he jumped to his feet.

"So you're dumpin' her?!"

The accusation was like a physical blow to Jon. "I'm not  dumpin' her.

"Yes, you are!" he shouted as fear got the best of him. "She's sick and you're passin' her off to someone else, so it doesn't inconvenience you!"

A shocking realization hit him so hard he saw two of Jon for a moment.

This is what Chet would do!

Chet would take off on Virna when she was sick, leave her for someone else to take care of, and come back when she was better.

Because her being sick was an inconvenience to him.

And Chet couldn't be inconvenienced.

Jon was just like Chet.

A wave of nausea hit him.

I'll throw up on Jon for this, he decided.

Some preferences for romantic partners of the yans!

Long text below cut!

SFW

-Eirik likes a partner who is sweet and approachable. Someone who is laid back and unafraid to be genuine with him and has honesty. Doesn't mind if you're a little shy, thinks it's cute. He also has a soft spot for dorky and nerdy people. Likes intelligence, but gets anxious you're going to catch him too early.

-Sunny needs to be needed, so he'd like a partner that he feels is reliant upon him in some way, though it's not a deal breaker. He tends to prefer a shy partner and someone who is gentle and submissive. He'd probably get overwhelmed by an explosive or very extroverted type of person. He also admires someone who is dedicated and hard-working.

-Ghost doesn't really have a set type. Whoever strikes her fancy at the moment is eligible. She does have a preference for people with good humor and who are easy-going. Also has a soft-spot for people who are good cooks and are nurturing.

-Shep next. This guy loves his introverted nerds! Anyone sweet who flusters really cute when he flirts with them and is fine lazing around the house with him. He also finds intelligence really attractive, and honesty and loyalty are very important to him. Also, please be able to take a joke and goof off with him!

-Dane finds intelligence attractive... but also intimidating. He wouldn't like someone who could potentially outsmart him or see through his crap. His type is someone really innocent, naive, and submissive. Ideally someone content to be spoiled and let him take care of you while not questioning him too much.

-Blue would like someone chill he can just have a good time with. He's a bit of a playboy and doesn't usually become romantically or emotionally involved with others. However, he's not incapable of it and has a soft spot for someone kind and willing to be patient with him. Just be careful if you manage to get him to fall for you... there's no leaving him.

-Audrey likes someone content to be spoiled by her or who is too submissive to talk back. Ideally someone kind of shy and timid who looks up to her for guidance or just in general. Innocent people are her usual targets. She does also have an attraction to bratty people. Bonus if you're an educated bookworm type.

-Elliott likes anyone, really, as long as you're nice! He doesn't really have a type because he likes everybody and can always find something to love! Would like if you shared some hobbies or interests like sports or video games or something. Bonus if you're a cheerful person!

-Elias prefers someone who is laid back and understanding. Needs someone able to listen to him rant and not judge him. Ideally you can keep a cool head and aren't overly sensitive. He can be blunt and would feel like garbage if he upset you. Just someone chill he can talk to.

-Anton has no particular type, he'll kind of adjust his preferences to fit his obsession. He's pretty delusional, so as long as he's in "love" he'll look past or twist most personal negatives to be positives. Typically though, seeks someone he can protect. Also, has a slight preference for gentle artsy types.

-Edwin looks for intelligence and wit. He loves someone able to keep up with him, but it's not a deal breaker. As long as you're curious in some way, he'll usually like you. Also, someone patient and independent who can handle him being away for long hours working.

[yappacadaver]

ALL ODD NUMBERS LETS GOOO

SCREAMISING ILU SO MUCHHHH it's under a cut tho cause wowow what a long ass post i am writing xD

Original post is here (still accepting even numbers btw xD)

What’s their love languages?

Yumi is 50/50 on Touch and Quality Time. Sure, she’s capable of saying some of the cheesiest cringiest shit, but that’s more of a balm for others who need it. When she needs to express her own love for love’s sake, it’s sex, cuddles, and tagging along on adventures.

Raymond is also split like 60/40 on Quality Time and Words of Affirmation. Is he a mouthy liar? Yes. Does he spend his entire life with verbal walls up wishing they could come down so he could have a gentle and vulnerable chat now and then? Also yes.

Who cooks? Who cleans up? Who’s banned from the kitchen?

Technically they both can cook, but whether they have the time or energy to do so is the issue. Raymond cooks more often, if only to save money. Cleaning is a shared effort with middling success. No picks or bans in the rayumi kitchen so far lol

Who does what chores?

Chores are juggled randomly as their shitty schedules allow. Yumi prefers laundry and hates doing the dishes. Raymond is good for maintenance but won’t organize or tidy shit.

Who is the more romantic one?

They’re both insane in the head romantic for each other but it usually manifests weird

Like Raymond, who’s used to being a caretaker, constantly trying to anticipate her needs and provide for her (but she’s ridiculous and mental so it’s a real head scratcher)

And Yumi expresses her feelings with physical harassment + trying to baby an old man

Baths or showers together? Do they like elaborate ones with bubbles and flower petals?

Showers, they don’t often have time for a bath. Both might secretly fantasize about a cute bubble and flowers bath but their tub is hardly that romantic and neither would want to clean up afterwards xD

What’s a song that describes their relationship? Or, what’s the song that they’ve deemed “their” song?

Idk if they have “their” song I need to do more research, but I do be having a playlist of songs that describe their relationship :3c

What’s their opinion on PDA?

Yumi loves affection anywhere, Raymond is super embarrassed to be seen as a creep in public but he doesn’t have the heart to push Yumi away

Do they go on vacations together? Where is their favorite place to visit?

One time they go to Ohio

Their favorite place is probably the beach though. Inexpensive, local, and they can get crab rangoons :3c

What does a relaxing night in look like for them?

They enjoy a good couch snuggle, Raymond likes to read and Yumi will watch TV or play video games. Night does NOT end before they have ridiculous sicko mode sex

How do they silently/subtly express their love for each other?

Mostly just by being there for each other through the awful shit. I can’t say more honestly xD I’m writing a fic about this dw

Which of their friends/family pokes fun at them for them getting flustered/affectionate?

This is a very fun and lighthearted way to describe what Audrey has to say to Raymond about this relationship LOL

Do they like pick up lines?

God no, but Yumi does love saying cringey shit just to embarrass/frustrate Raymond. He takes it well honestly xD

What is their dream home? Do they buy a place together? Who plans the decorations and who does the heavy lifting?

Their dream home is just a house that’s been paid off!! But they’re not financially there honestly, between the costs of running the mortuary and the costs of all the extra demon hunting shit, plus costs of keeping three people in the basement, Raymond doesn’t have much money. Yumi has debts and a weed habit and she likes to leech off Raymond lmao

Who would propose? What would their wedding be like?

My god, I don’t think they’re getting married o_o

Neither of them are too keen on the logistic and public aspects of marriage, and the ties that end up binding them are much more tangible than whatever a ceremony and some rings could offer.

Yumi does propose as a joke with anything vaguely ring-shaped though.

What is something they can never agree on? How do they meet in the middle?

They differ quite a lot on matters of faith. Raymond is obviously not a faithful Christian but he has a few holdover beliefs that he hasn’t really considered. What other beliefs he’s collected from research and travel he takes seriously, and he considers them evidence of his growth as a person.

Yumi hates organized religion, believes religion and most belief systems are based in control not truth, and strongly disagrees with the notion of there being one omnipotent god.

Some of Raymond’s beliefs strike her as archaic or simplistic. Raymond thinks Yumi could stand to be a little more thoughtful and less dismissive.

They respect each other as individuals more than they need their religious/sociological beliefs to interfere though.

THANK TOU SOSOSO MUCH FOR SENDING TwT had a lot of fun writing all this out heheeeee

You sighed leaning forward on the edge of the pool as you sipped your drink, light chatter sounding in the lounge right behind you, your housemates were scattered around, some on the lounge couch, others on the beach chairs beside the pool and the rest sitting with their legs dipped into the pool. You were at the edge, away from them as you took in the view of the beach from second layer of the three tier pool.

Your palm holding up your head as you thought about the fallout you had with your chosen partner for the first week. You both were actually really cool with each other...well you weren't really sure about him, he was stoic, strict and older, it gave him this sexy but mature sugar daddy vibe; as he was the oldest out of all of them.

You both barely talked only doing your daily partner tasks or challenges and chilling on beach chairs under the palm trees. Not that he wasn't interested in you. He was, very much so. He loved the innocence and naive feel you gave off; with you being the youngest, it made him feel like he was in control but he as tempted as he was he wasn't willing to leave boa; a potential love interest, for you.

When you noticed his hesitance you decided to talk to him about it but it seemed he wasn't willing to talk after you touched a major sour spot in him for someone who doesn't know him well, cause the next thing you know he's walking away from you leaving you to sulk in the empty bedroom. You genuinely were interested in him, you actually wanted to find your 'special someone' here since you barely have any luck in finding one outside.

After that incident levi's been ignoring you; only sparing you a glance at housemate challenges and such. The viewers at home find you the most relatable so you have quite the fanbase; when they watched the incident they felt so bad for you and let's not talk of ban who barely talked to you after the sex ban. men are scum.

They watched as you sipped your smoothie in the background out of the view of the other housemates, you looked so sullen they wished someone, anyone would talk to you- "Hey! You alright?" And their prayers were answered. There he was the Brazilian hottie almost everyone have been eyeing both in and out of the show.

Monkey D. Luffy, this spanish speaking man has been snatching and winning hearts all around the world with his cute and adorable antics, drawing both aww's and coos from the audience with his smile, laugh and funny bromance with his best friends Uzumaki Naruto and Natsu Igneel; all known as the 'sunshine trio'. His personality wasn't the only eye-catching feature of his, he had a banging bod too.

He's a hottie with an eight pac, tall slim build, an x-marked scar on his chest and two-stitched scar under his left eye; a backstory people are dying to know about. You both had never actually talked before only a brief name sharing during the gathering and that was all. So it was quite shocking when him of all people came to talk to you.

"Uh? Hello?" You snapped out of your suprised stupor and stuttered a 'I'm fine.' Before turning bavk to the view. "Are you gonna eat that?" Ah so that's why he was here; the viewers at home deadpanned. You looked at what he was pointing at. Turns out you brought dessert but you were in no mood to eat it so you guess you'll give it to him. "Eh, sure. I wasn't planning on eating it anyways."

You pushed the cake to him making sure it didn't fall into the water. "Alright! Thanks!" He beamed gulping the cake whole before laughing. You stared wide eyed at him, not sure whether you were flustered because he swallowed the damn thing whole without chewing or the fact that his smile and laughter was the sweetest thing you've ever seen or heard. Ah whipped already, welcome to the club; the audience sighed.

"Shishishi! That's better! You should smile more. It's beautiful." Your face heated up at his compliment, you didn't even know you were smiling, guess he was contagious. "You seemed so down earlier, cariña [sweetheart]. You sure you ok?" His accent tickling your ears and sending serotonin straight to your brain when he tried not to make it obvious. What a cutie. "Oh did i? Sorry it's just..." You sighed once more playing with the straw in your cup.

"It's that pendejo [asshole] isn't it? Should i go beat him up? I'll beat him up just for you!" He declared, demonstrating by jabbing and punching at the air. Then suddenly his heart jumped, his eyes growing wide, warmth filling the tips of his ears and cheeks at the sound of your sweet laughter. Looking clearly at you right now you were attractive. The sunset rays coating your brown skin, your glossed and plump lips catching his attention at it's upwards curve.

Your beige bandage bikini fitting snuggly around your body bringing out your curves and skin colour, your hair in an up-do, strands of it framing your face. Your adorable big brown eyes covered by your eyelids due to how hard you were laughing. You were so beautiful. How didn't he notice you before, how couldn't he notice such a gorgeous and ethereal being in his midst.

He felt his heart jump to his throat when your palm brushed his shoulder, the organ hammering faster when you looked up at him with those alluring browns of yours. Don't worry dude we felt the same but back of the line!; the viewers cooed then roared, they couldn't blame the man for falling hard and fast for their beautiful y/n. She was a goddess after all.

"Pfft- your funny! I-I'm Y/n l/n call me y/n." You beamed feeling your mood lift at his demonstration. You liked him he was...different, he was nice. "Nice to meet you! I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the man who made you laugh, don't ever forget!" He smiled softly at you rubbing his neck, his strawhat; which you just noticed, shuffling with every movement of his hand. "Ok 'the man that made me laugh' or 'Monkey D. Luffy, which one am i calling you?" You teased.

"L-Luffy, call me luffy." He chuckled, his ears taking a red tint at the way his full name rolled off your tongue; you didn't notice because of his dark hair covering it. "Well then luffy, what are you doing here?" Mierda [shit], say my name again. He internally groaned before his brows rose in confusion. "Here? Like in the pool?" You giggled, taking in his cute confused expression. "No silly, i mean in the show." He smiled at your cute giggle, joining you to watch the sunset before answering.

"Well my brothers kinda forced me, something about 'you'll never get married if all you do is run around and eat.' I was confused at first." He sighed ruffling his locks in frustration. You stretched your hand hesitating before rubbing his back, hoping to ease him a little. Little did you know he appreciated the gesture, loving the feeling of your soft and warm skin against his.

"It's ok if you don't wanna talk about it." You assured him running your hands up and his back soothingly. "No, it's ok." He exhaled before continuing. "My familia has this huge chain company all around the world and stuff, my brothers have a part they play and they don't need to get married inorder to get shit done." You nodded and he took it as a sign to continue.

"I was pissed until gramps explained they were giving the company to me." Your eye widened. "And obviously if i can't handle it i can fall back on my brothers but then i realised they weren't telling me to get married because of the company but for me. They wanted someone who would support me during the bad and good days, someone who would be with me through thick and thin, i guess." He explained, from his expression you could tell he was happy with the heartfelt thought from his family.

"T-That's uh- wow! i hope you find someone, luffy." You smiled dropping your hands from his back. He smiled back at you before asking you the same question. "How about you? Why are you here." You laughed. "Ha ha! What's that supposed to mean!" He laughed with you. "I mean- ¡Dios mío! [My God] look at you, you're gorgeous!" Your face heated up as you lifted yourself off of the edge to hit his chest with your fist. "Stop t-that!" He caught your fist pulling you closer and whispering. "I mean it."

"You could have anything and anyone you wanted." He said playing with your hands in his. "Well... I couldn't and that's why I'm here actually." You confessed looking down in embarrassment. "That's good." You lifted your head, looking at him in question. "Leave the blind to their vices and let's those with eyes appreciate such view, but i can't lie I've been blind this whole time too, Perdóname [Forgive me]." And that ladies and gentlemen was how luffy won not only your heart but the audience over too. God when?! they cried but they shipped it, they shipped it so hard that both you and luffy became top trending on every platform.

That cute scene become so popular that people started to watch the show just because of it. When the votes came in for couple of the week, you and luffy came in first. The director of the show knew this show was going to be a big hit so they suggested making luffy and you partners in the coming week. To them you were the golden goose and they were definitely gonna get golden eggs if they kept the chemistry between you both alive.

Not that they need to worry, you and luffy were definitely going to go strong, everyone knew it. The heartfelt conversation you both had gave the viewers not only hope but set their heart alight. Not just them but luffy's family too. Yes whitebeard and his sons gather together in their large living room on weekends to watch their last born find love and boy were they happy. Although watching him get down and dirty will always be a shock to them.

Do you have any fics of Adrien being shy/flustered?

Flustered!Adrien is pretty uncommon. It's usually Marinette who is the flustered one. But when done right, it's BEAUTIFUL. And yeah, I got recs for you!

Shut Up and Drive by @coffeebanana

Adrien keeps having the same dream. About Ladybug riding a motorcycle. Picking him up and whisking him away. It's a fantasy that he can't seem to shake, even if he's supposed to be getting over Ladybug. But one night, she takes off her helmet, revealing herself to be Marinette.

But...it's just a dream...Right?

One-shot. Adrien's dreams really affect him and he's such a beautiful flustered mess. The building tension in this is so well done, and the end just put the biggest smile on my face.

a superhero’s holiday by @isadorator

Adrien only wanted to have fun with his friends and enjoy a stress-free day at the beach. But then Chloé happened. And Hawk Moth. And Ladybug.

One-shot. Let's be serious. Shy/flustered Adrien generally means ladrien content. And this one is a favourite. An akuma attack at the beach. What happens to a poor teenage boy when he ends up with the love of his life plastered to him while he’s wearing just his bathing suit? *cackles* Love the UST and humour in this one!

i just came to say hello by @clairelutra and a_miiraculer

In which Nino finds out his best bro is in love with Ladybug, and jumps the Ladynoir and Adrienette ships for Ladrien summarily.

Adrien is flustered, Alya takes personal offense, and Marinette finally sees her chance to hit that.

What could possibly go wrong?

Multi-chapter. ABANDONED WIP! But I think it's worth reading anyway because omg the blooshy babes I can't even handle it!!! This is just PEAK LADRIEN and I love it, even if it will never be finished.

Margins of Error by orphan_account

“Do you…��� Ladybug’s voice is at an almost-whisper. He can feel her breath fire-hot against his face. “Do you want me to show you how I think they should write our kiss?”

Adrien isn’t here anymore, leave a message after the tone.

–

Adrien was raised on order. His life is meticulously planned, each day as reliable as the equations he studies in physics and calculus. But Ladybug- Ladybug always has him at a loss.

One-shot. I've recced this fic before and I'll rec it again, it's so good. Ladybug is assertive and confident and Chat is a little shy and flustered. And it's just so gahhh.

be your july by Reiaji

Two years after leaving home, Adrien has a room, a loving found family, and a thankless job with Audrey Bourgeois, the only figure in fashion with enough clout to bypass his father’s blacklisting.

He also has a zero percent success rate when it comes to courting Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Audrey’s relentlessly brilliant protégé.

With two miraculouses in the mix, it all gets a little complicated.

Multi-chapter. This fic is a reverse love square canon divergence where Marinette went to New York in Style Queen and Adrien leaves home/Gabriel when he’s legally able. This is after she’s returned and they’re both adults here, but Adrien is an absolute mess and I’m here for it.

The following fics are amazing and absolutely worth reading, but do feature sexual content, so minors beware.

Summer in the City by kali_asleep

In which Adrien discovers that peaches aren't the only thing in season.

Multi-chapter. Rated M. Adrien starts to notice Marinette even though Chat is sort-of dating Ladybug and it turns him into a flustered mess. The UST and the identity shenanigans are off the charts. (There's also an E-rated sequel that I recommend, but this is the fic where he's really flustered.)

twists and turns by @zimtlein

Playing Twister at the age of twenty-one can be pretty awkward. It can also lead to suddenly groping your very cute, very platonic friend’s boob, apparently.

Adrien isn’t exactly complaining.

Two-shot. Rated M. Adrien's got 99 problems and UST is all 99 of them. Aside from the way he keeps getting flustered, this fic is also both HILARIOUS and hot af. I've read and reread this one like a hundred times.

I Dream of Mousey by @lyramae-archer

Chat is tired. More tired than ever before. How is a cat supposed to get some sleep when there’s a beautiful mouse in all of his dreams? A story in which Adrien gets some revelation on the love of his life. For MultiMouse Appreciation Week 2020.

Multi-chapter. Rated M. Multichat, my beloved. Adrien becoming a flustered mess as he falls harder and harder for Marinette after her stint as Multimouse is life.

[oceanblueeyesoul]

omg your matchups are so cute ahh!!! if it isn’t too much of a problem can i request a male wednesday matchup!!!

i’m a girl and my name is florence but most people call me flo or other nicknames such as flossy or flower. i’m a tanned 5’3 slim girl with long curly gold hair that is cut in 90s blowout style. my hair is typically held off my face with a ballet pink coloured ribbon tied round my head. i have downturned doe eyes that are constantly switching between blue, green and grey. my face hasn’t got a lot of freckles but i have a lot on my body. my cheeks are always flushed and i have a rather melancholic expression. i’m obsessed with lipgloss and are always applying it.

i’m extremely physically affectionate. my love language has a definitely physical touch. my friends irl will tell anyone that because i’m nearly always holding their hands or looping my arms with theirs. i also get told that my personality reminds people of miss honey or cinderella. so i guess that means i’m pretty soft spoken and kind. i’m an infp anc i’m very quiet when i first meet people but once they probably know me i can ramble for ages about my hyper-fixations. i can be kinda naive but only because i always wanna see the good in people!!! i don’t really get angry or when i am angry i just end up crying. i’m also incredibly easily flustered.

i really love classic literature and vintage books!!! along with vintage movies (especially audrey hepburn movies, i’m literally obsessed with her) i love alternative music from the 80s. think the smiths, blondie, echo and the bunnymen. but also i thrive listening to vintage love songs. i have a really big sweet tooth and could literally eat a whole bowl of icing. i dress in a very typically feminine way with ditsy floral patterns and lace being a staple in my wardrobe. i love pressed flowers and journaling.

ok i think i’ve rambled about myself enough. but seriously thank you so, so much for doing this it really means a lot to me!!! <333

Hi there, Flo! I really hope you like this a lot!

Wednesday (Netflix) Matchup

Your Wednesday (Netflix) soulmate is...

XAVIER THORPE!

He would buy you all the journals in the whole world for your birthday or anniversaries because he loves that you pressed flowers in your journals when you are writing in your journal.

He would definitely try to find some vintage movies with Audrey Hepburn or classic literature books for you because he knows that you are obsessed with Audrey Hepburn and you love classic literature books in order for you to read from.

He would definitely be holding your hands and trying his best to be physically affectionate to you as well because he has a soft spot for you and only you.

ISFP x INFP lovebirds!

Aquarius x Libra soulmates!

[bellafragolina]

I am often filled with longing, but I do love the idea of Warden Ingo just being clingy and smitten with you is so so so sweet.

Zisu or Gaeric getting hands on with you helping you with an exercise or stretch to aid with some of your soreness from expeditions, and Warden Ingo just staring you down from across the settlement. He shows you just flexible he can get you later when he’s filling you up with his cum. You wanted to work on your stamina right? You can’t meet eyes with Zisu or Gaeric after being out of commission for a couple days.

When you walk out from Arezu’s with a fresh haircut or the clothing shop wearing the fancy Sneasler set or something to match his attire, and he just wants to show you how much he appreciates your presence. Feral Warden just picking you up bridal style to take you home and show you how fervently you’re adored. 😔

Also also also, Laventon knows how to waltz from growing up in Galar. I’m convinced you can play a generic waltz off the Arcphone and you two spend the night dancing and gliding across the tatami mats of his personal home. You even get to show him how to dip and he gives you such a sweet loving kiss after he does it. He loves to twirl you to, once he gets over the nervousness of just holding each other and swaying.

I’m swooning <3

But hell yeah!! Ingo has finally gotten a taste of your love, and he’s obsessed! He’s practically just looking for reasons and excuses to drag you home and fuck you to oblivion! He doesn’t take too kindly to another person putting their hands on you how he usually does, be it for innocent reasons or otherwise. The second you’re alone he’s got you pinned and squealing his name. You love him, and he’s going to remind you why

(Also, side note, but Zisu could snap me like a pencil and I would thank her)

Ingo is devoted to you. He loves every little thing you do, and every new outfit you buy, every new haircut you try, makes him fall in love all over again. He’s a man of beautiful words, and his words sure make you feel beautiful. He doesn’t stop complimenting you even as he bends you in half and fucks you so hard you can’t see straight. It’s an ego boost for sure!

Also AHHHHHHHHH! Laventon does know how to waltz, that is fantastic!!! Him nervously pulling you close to him, teaching you the steps in a soft, flustered voice, unable to look you in the eye for too long. Breaks to hear him babble about Pokémon because he’s nervous and doesn’t know how else to talk to you when he’s nervous (also, bonus points if this is before y’all start courting, and he’s crushing so damn hard and you’re so close and *faints*)

I would pay big money to waltz with that man, I’ll tell you what!!! Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna be reading this over and over and having very pleasant daydreams <3

Have a great day, Audrey!!

~Renee

[greatbritishsimchallenge]

On seeing the leader’s settlement, Angus sighed with relief. He had clearly chosen the right one, given the size and scale of their home.

Walking through the archway, Angus called out, “Hello? Anybody here? I need to speak to the leader.”

“He’s not here. He is visiting my uncle,” said a quiet voice. 

Angus thought the voice sounded sweet and kind. As the girl appeared from around the corner of a building, he quickly realised that the voice more than matched the countenance.

He immediately became flustered, “Oh, hello, I’m Angus. I’m a member of the new settlement over the river. I’m here to-”

“You’re all wet. And dirty,” the girl remarked, not with judgement but curiosity.

“Oh, I, er, swam through the river to get here. Got a bit muddy in the process.”

“My goodness, that is most impressive. I don’t think I’ve ever swum in a river,” she said, stepping closer to Angus, “Are you a very adventurous person?”

“I mean, I guess, I like sword fighting and fishing and stuff,” seeing how interested she was in what he was saying - and given how rarely his own family were similarly interested - he continued to talk with more excitement, “Once I actually caught a fish with my sword - it was so cool.”

“That is cool! Oh, I would love to go fishing. I’m not allowed to do anything around here,” the girl said sulkily.

“Well,” said Angus confidently, “Now you are going to get to come to a party. And I’ll be there too so we can hang out and get to know each other better. Maybe we could even sneak away and I could show you how to fish!”

The girl squealed in delight, “Oh yes, that would be wonderful! My name is Audrey. What’s yours?”

“I’m Angus. Hey, our names kinda sound alike, what with them beginning with A and being two syllables. Angus and Audrey. Sounds nice, like they go together...”

Audrey giggled, “Yes, they do sound lovely together...”

The Newbie

Audrey Tindall x Reader 

Requested @star2684​​  : So reader has a crush on audrey. They're both working on this movie but barely have any scenes together. Reader is new to the whole acting world. And audrey being a sweetheart tries to help reader with her script. One night they end up drunk and reader confessing her crush on Audrey. The night ending with both of them naked cuddling in bed 

A/n : I had fun writing this but rereading it, its a little shit. I tried. - also there might be a part 2 with to without smut. and I'll edit it later. 

You had received the call a couple of weeks ago, you had been accepted for the role. And now you were sat at the table with you cast members, you were new to the scene of acting. The gazes from the recognisable actors and actresses were a little nerve-wracking, however, one particular one was staring thoughtfully at you with a soft gaze. As might be expected, you knew who she was, Audrey Tindall. You have been following her work for years, even before her big break in 'My Roanoke Nightmare'. She was now looking down, flickering through her script. 

--- After, the introduction and going through the lines for a couple of scenes it was time for a little break. You hardly had any scenes with the woman in front of you, you were playing the male protagonist's wife, you only have three scenes in total with Audrey, but it still excited you. There was still the little unnerving feeling running wild inside your head, no cage or bars to settle the feeling. Your thumbs unconsciously fiddled with each other in your lap, a lay of sweat has formed whilst you were saying your lines. Fortunately, you had only stuttered once, and it seemed that no one really noticed, or they have and took pity on you and not mentioned it. In the distance, you could hear the chatter from the cast members talking. You knew you should mingle with them, but your nerves got the better of you and you decided to stay back a little, go through your phone. You hear footsteps against the ground coming in your direction, not thinking much of it until you feel a warm hand against your shoulder. "It's a little nerve-racking, newbie." Audrey rasps out, she takes the seat next to you. "You'll get used to it soon." She adds. Looking up to the remarkable woman who was swaddled in a woolly cardigan over a black vest, her short blonde hair messed up a little from her constantly going through it with her hands. "I'm Audrey Tindall, no relation to the Tindalls of the Princess Royal, unfortunately." Her gentle smile widens, unlike other smiles you saw in your past, this one was bright and full of genuine happiness. These smiles in particular made your insides feel warm and fluttery, as cliché as it sounds, it feels like small flusters of butterflies swarming inside you. Her eyes crease a little, her head thrown back you watch her mouth open up. Realising you haven't said anything, you had been ogling at the woman for far too long. You now hear the chuckling of the British woman. "I'm not making you nervous, am I?" She says, in between giggles. "Umm. no of course not. It still hasn't settled in that I'm actually in here." She nods along, her brown eyes following your every move. " Shit. Um... I'm Y/N L/N." You add, a little shiver runs down your spine when you feel the woman's hand shaking yours, luckily you weren't the only nervous one as you felt the small layer of sweat on her palm. The cold hand against your warm one. When it leaves yours, you almost miss the touch. "Well, it was lovely meeting such a beautiful actress." She rasps out, your eyes zone into her toying with her plump lip. "oh, um... yes, it was also lovely meeting you, too." You accidentally mimic her lip bite. She reaches for the pen on the table and a piece of paper, she elegantly scribbles something down. "Here, if you ever need help with your script reading, text me." She says, adding a wink to the end of her sentence. Looking at the piece of paper in your hand you see her phone number. A giddy feeling builds up inside you, a carbonated drink that had been shaken up and ready to burst open. The way that she carelessly gave you her number, added with the cheeky wink made your insides flutter a little more. "I-I will, thank you, Audrey." Her name rolling off your tongue like honey. You watch her cheeks flush pink a little, the added colour to her cheeks making her look even more lovable. "But we don't have many scenes together." You add in a small voice, disappointed at the fact. You watch her features fall slightly until they lighten up once again. "Oh, done worry about that, sweetie. I can always give you pointers, and we can practice all your scenes together." ---- The phone rings a couple of times until you hear Audrey sweet voice come through the speaker, "Audrey Tindall, Who am I speaking to?" Giggling internally, "Uh, It Y/N from-" You stutter out before being interrupted by her. "Of course I know you, darling. To what do I owe the pleasure ?" She question, joyously. Your nerves get the better of you, beginning to wander around your small living room. "I was wondering if I, I mean if we could... you know... meet up, to go over the lines?" Feeling a rush of discomfort run through you, the awkwardness of the question, plus the stuttering makes you clam up and regret your entire life. "Of course, Y/N. Do you have a place in mind? Your place, the studio or maybe my place ?" Audrey mutters out the options, immediately your eyes scan your small apartment. It wasn't much but it was your home, but knowing Audrey may see it causes you to second guess that option. You thought she might find it unpleasant, part of you knew that Audrey wouldn't judge your living situation. "Y/N, darling you there." Audrey chuckles slightly. "Yes," Nibbling at your lip, you look at your cat who was lying lazily on the pile of books in the corner. "Come over, I'll send my address and we can order in and relax after?" Nodding your head, then answering with a 'yes', after realising she couldn't see the confirmation. "Alright then, love. I'll see you at 6" She gushes out, replying back, you end the call. ---- It was time to get ready, deciding on some comfortable trousers and an oversized woolly jumper, paired with heels. You double-checked your appearance, picking at the non-existing lint of your jeans you feel a lot more confident to leave. However, once outside of your apartment you are feel a little less confident, your nerves bouncing around you. A mixture of excitement and nervousness are the only things you could feel as you start the engine of your car. Hesitantly, standing outside the crisp white door of the given address. The garden is exquisite, it was green, the bushes trimmed perfectly, flowers of a diverse kind were dotted around the garden. In the middle of the flawlessly cut grass was and the impressive waterfall feature, unbeknownst to you, a certain blonde was looking at you with a gentle and warm expression. Audrey was captivated by your grace, the sunset creating a radiant glow to your skin. Your eyes sparkling with curiosity as she carefully observes them studying the garden, she was proud of it. "Hello, darling. Come on in." Her voice travels through the air, jumping at the voice your body whips in the direction of the woman. Eyes widen, and mouth agape, the woman in front of you was dressed in a black knee-length dress, patterned with flowers. She looked magnificent. "Y/N, Are you with me?" She says again, you watch a smirk grace her rosy lips knowing you were eyeing her appearance. The intimate glance causing her to feel a lot more confident in herself, a playful gaze settles on you, waiting for a reply once again. "Um...um..yes. of course," You stutter out. A joyful chuckles comes from the blonde, a slight blush covering the apples of her cheeks. ---- There was an empty wine bottle on the glass table, laughter travels through the air, Audrey had been telling you about her experiences on set from her past. She was telling you about one of her embarrassing moments, the story making a grin creep up onto your face as you saw the pure glee in her gleaming eyes. The sparkle causing a bubble of happiness in you, seeing her carefree and open. Her cheeks flushed red, hair out of place and tears of happiness flowing down her cheeks. "That's how I got the nickname teacup." She stutters out between giggles, you find yourself giggling along. The alcohol swimming through your body causing you to feel less stressed and a little more assured. The conversation had flown easily between the two of you. "Oh, shit. Would you look at the time?" Audrey says, looking over to the wall with the clock. 12.05am, not realising you had stayed a lot longer than you thought. "I- um better get going." You stutter out. "Nonsense, you staying the night, darling." Audrey rasps out, "I have a guest room you can sleep in." She adds, slurring her words a little bit. "Come." She motions you up, she collects the glasses trotting off to the kitchen to dispose of them into the sink, you wait outside of the kitchen. Overlooking at the blonde, looking so domestic. You capture her eyes, she looks at you over her shoulders before turning around and sauntering to you, her lips lift into a graceful smile. She skirts past you to the grand stairs. Following her like a lost puppy, your eyes travel over her slim figure. The small walk was too quick, she stood outside of a door opening it carefully before strutting into the center of the room. You were too captivated by her presence you didn't register that she had begun talking to you, informing you on where you would find things. "So, if you need anything. My bedroom is just down the hall to the left." She says, a yawn breaking through the last word of the sentence. It was the cutest yawn you have ever witnessed. Could this woman get any cuter? You thought. "Goodnight, darling." You watch her slowly shuffle towards you, you feel a soft pair of lips graze your cheek, tensing at the unexpected touch, you melt under her touch in seconds. "Goodnight, Audrey." you stutter out breathlessly. Standing in the center of the room after she left felt like hours, whereas in reality was only a couple of seconds. You haven't completely processed the small kiss. The little flutter inside you increased a couple of sizes, creating a warm feeling inside your heart. Shaking off the feeling, not wanting to dwell on the feeling, you try guessing where the things Audrey had said whilst you were ogling the woman. The mattress underneath you was like sleeping on thousands of clouds, it was the most conformable mattress you have ever slept on. The hint of the fabric softer seeps through your senses, it was Audrey scent, apple cinnamon. It was soothing, closing your eyes you instantly feel sleep take over you. ---- The drive to work was silent, comfortable silence. The two of you were stealing glances every couple of seconds. Turning left to the studio, Audrey parks up in her designated place before turning to you with a mischievous smirk. "You have a stunning body," She says before stepping out and making her way to the studio. Your hearts pick up a little speed, you feel your insides turn warm and fuzzy. A shy smile forms across your lips at the compliment, rushing after her you think back to that morning. A knock from the bedroom doors disturbs you from your slumber. Grumbling at being woken up, you catch a glimpse of the time. 5:30am, closing your eyes once again before you swing your body out of the conformable sheets. You strut to the door, swinging the door open it reveals Audrey. "Goodmor-" She says before her eyes widen slightly, furrowing your eyebrows for a second before coming to the conclusion you are in your underwear, forgetting you had taken of the shirt during the night. Slamming the door hastily, you rush to the discarded shirt on the floor. Thoughtlessly throwing the garment on, you open the door once again to reveal a disheveled and red-faced woman, "Um... Sorry about that." you utter. "It's fine. I'm just informing you, that we have both been called in. They want us in at 6:30." She whispers before scurrying away. She knew it was out of her character to rush off and be embarrassed but the feeling she had for you was strong and the sight of you in just your underwear was stirring something inside her.

---- In the last couple of weeks, your feelings for Audrey grew, your friendship bloomed into something magical and it had been the best couple of weeks on set, too. You had spent enjoyable evenings in cafes and at her house and spent late hours talking about everything and nothing. As clichés as it sounds, you were falling hard for the British woman, you weren't sure how long you can keep up with your feeling and keep them under wrapped. Audrey was also in the same boat. It was getting difficult keeping her feelings in the dark, not knowing how you truly felt, the two of you were too oblivious to the attraction for one and another. You had invited her down to your little home after work, strolling up to the many stairs of the apartment complex, you stop in front of the wooden door. You could feel Audrey peering over your shoulder, her breath hitting your cheek softly, causing goosebumps to arise on your skin, not only that, but you could also feel her warmth. Her scent travels through the air generating a warm faint feeling through your body, it was soothing. Once you had fished the keys out and unlocked the door you allowed Audrey to step through your home first. "You have a very homely home, Y/N," Audrey says, looking around at the picture scattering the walls, The many blankets thrown over the lonely chair. The plants that scatter every inch of the room, and the odd ornament that possesses a significant meaning to you. You note her eyes widen when she sees a fur ball in the corner of the couch. "Oh my, who is little fur ball ?" Audrey questions, already wandering to the cat. "Her name is Frankie, little moody lately so she might not be playful." You say, playfully narrowing your eyes at the cat. "Oh, aren't you just the most precious little thing ever?" She squats down, petting her a little, your ears peak up a little at the purring, a ghost of a smile graces your lips. Turning around to collect the scripts from your bag, strutting to the couch you flop down, the disturbances breaks Audrey out of her trance. A blush washes the apples of her cheeks, the rosy hue causing her to look even more adorable. The shy glances at you and the cat laying across her lap, prompting you to chuckle at her. "What?" An adorable frown coats her beautiful features, which induces you to giggle more. "You look adorable." You say between laughter; you watch the blush redden more at the comment. "Stop it." She whines out, you desperately try to stop the giggle erupting from you, the cat ounces to the ground during the Audrey little outburst. "I'm sorry." Her arms cross over her chest, her face breaks out into a smile, you can see her attempts at keeping it under wrap, but she fails miserably. "You will be, darling." Audrey chuckles before she straddles your thighs. With the internal shock your laughter seizures, surprised at her movement. "Whos laughing now, darling?" She whispers, leaning close to your ear. Her words causing multiple shivers to run through your body, you feel her lips touch your cheek. "Huh? Y/N. I hope this is ok?" She mutters against your cheek, and you feel her arms wrap slowly around your neck. They hang loosely there, her plump lips hover over your lips. Practically touching, but not quite. Nodding frantically, "Yes, it's totally ok." You say. Your brain still isn't processing everything. You watch her eyes stare deeply into your e/c eyes, almost telling you her thoughts. "Can I kiss you?" You mutter, her eyes widen a little before she frantically nods.
