One Of A Kind Love

Allan x F!Reader

Y/N was a discontinued doll. Of course being discontinued while living in Barbieland was a disaster. She was immediately moved to weird Barbie’s house and her dream house was left to gather dust.

Y/N resented Mattel for discounting her. She has made them such a big profit but they wanted to continuously put out toys that were less quality that would be cheaper for them to make and so they’d break and force consumers to buy more consistently.

Allan was lonely. He was the only Allan. There were different versions of kens and Barbie’s surrounding him in this perfectly pink world, yet he was the only Allan. He didn’t feel like he fit in with the Ken’s even after being a designated ‘Buddy’ for Ken.

He was left alone as Barbie’s had their girls nights.

He was left alone as Ken’s tried to show off to each other.

When Ken attempted to take over the world, Allan attempted to flee Barbieland. He didn’t want anything to change. He also couldn’t bring himself to treat the Barbies the disrespect that’s been forced upon them.

But they decided to turn around and get Stereotypical Barbie to help save them from patriarchy. Allan decided right then and there that he would never get out but he realized he didn’t want to leave Barbieland to fall. So he helped.

Allan led the two humans into weird Barbie’s house. They were met with Stereo Barbie sulking on the floor and Weird Barbie in the splits.

“It’s not the Ken’s!” Weird Barbie called out and it prompted the others to walk out of their hiding space.

Allan almost collapsed. He couldn’t stop staring at Y/N who looked nervous as she looked in their directional and Allan hoped she’d never stop.

Gloria was gushing over the Discontinued Barbies as she named them off, lastly getting to Y/N.

“This is Y/N! She was like everyone’s favorite Barbie, although she wasn’t formally named one, because she was just so durable. It made it so they could never be broken and it ended up being a lot of kids only Barbie.”

Y/N looked shy at the description as if she was some special Barbie but what kind of use is being durable. Meanwhile there was doctor barbie and even physicist Barbie.

Allan couldn’t disagree more. When Y/N smiled at him he felt like the most special person in the world.

Once Stereotypical Barbie was in on the plan they set it into action. All of the Barbie’s who they saved from a Ken would be the next one to save a Barbie. But that left Y/N and Allan in the car sometimes. The other discontinued’s stayed back at the weird dream house to make sure no Kens came to take it over, although it was highly unlikely.

“Hi Y/N.” Allan spoke with a smile adoring his face. The others were out of the van and he couldn’t help but say hi to his newly formed crush. That’s just what the dolls did.

“Hi Allan!” She spoke back excitedly with a smile on her face. Needless to say Y/N had bad self-esteem, which she only figured out because of Weird Barbie. Being discontinued affected each doll differently, but with there being nothing necessarily wrong with her body when she was discontinued like some of the others, it felt like more of a her issue.

“You know my name?” Allen was used to being overlooked. After all there was only him, surrounded by different Ken’s and Barbies.

“Of course!”

Before they could continue the doors flung open and another Barbie was brought into the reprogramming chamber so to speak.

Allan and Y/N couldn’t help but sneak glances back and forth. If a doll could blush Allan would be bright red.

After a little time skip and a battle of the ken’s later, the world was back to normal. Now the Ken’s we’re going to get a little more recognition and be acknowledged as more than accessories. Which was a win for them. After all they just truly wanted the horses and to feel appreciated.

But Allan and Y/N? It didn’t go back to their normal. Allan was now acknowledged by everyone, and he didn’t have to say anything first all the time. But, also he has someone he spent his time with.

Y/N used to only stay up in the Weird House to be with the others who were discontinued. That’s just how it was, and she admittedly felt nervous around the perfect Barbie’s who had roles in the world.

But even if a major lesson in life is to find who you are and not define yourself by your significant other.

There was no rule against finding yourself with each other.

🐚10 Things I Hate About You (pt.1) Jack Hughes X Reader

 ‘I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.’

 Luke Hughes was over the moon. He was finally gonna get to play high school hockey like his mother always wanted him to. Of course, he didn’t mind that his older brothers were also on the team, and he was most likely going to be called the ‘littlest’ Hughes. He made his way to the castle like high school, meeting up with his oldest brother, Quinn Hughes, so he could get a tour of the huge high school.  

“Hey! What’s up Luke.” he heard his brother say casually as he walked towards him.

“Hey Quinn…what are you wearing?” Luke said, looking at his brother. His brother was wearing a white and blue button up t-shirt that was obviously way too big for him and some khaki jorts.

“What are you talking about, this is some top tier styling.” Quinn said while posing a bit. Luke rolled his eyes.

“Just give me the tour.” he said with a little sass looking at his brother.

“Ok well, here are your emo pixie manic dream girls…don’t act too much like Micheal Cera around them.” Quinn said gesturing to a group of girls that were all either singing or reading some obscure book that they obviously found while thrifting.

“Then we have your Stoner’s and mathletes, they all hang around each other, please don’t ask me why.” Quinn says gesturing to a group in a big ball of smoke and some kids solving a math problem on a whiteboard. Luke raised his eyebrow. What the hell was going on at this school.

“Then those are your popular people and elitists…don’t bother talking to them.”

“Why?”

“Hey!” Quinn says to the group, they all stare at him with weird looks and one of them says ‘bite me.’

“Ok, now I see why.” They continue walking as Quinn points out groups to his little brother. But soon his voice falls on deaf ears as Luke watches a girl pass by. The girl had long black hair and sharp siren-like eyes. She was wearing a floral sundress and white chunky sandals. She had gold hoops in and freckles that spread perfectly across her face. She had pink plump lips and a smile so white it blinded him. She was tiny, standing at around 5′0, the only big thing about her being her boobs. She and her blonde friend were talking about something.

“Jesus, who is that?” Luke questions wiping his chin as he looks at the girl who was about a foot shorter than him. 

Quinn laughs obnoxiously, “Luke, do not even think about that at all. That there, my friend is Bianca L/N and she is untouchable and totally conceited.” 

“Hey, don’t say that, look at her, I mean she’s gorgeous.” Luke said as the girl smiled showing her dimples. 

“Listen, Luke, Girls like that, will never look at you, she’s wearing that strategically planned sundress to let guys like us know that we will never touch her and boys like Trevor Zegras realize they want her.” He gestured towards another hockey player that was on their team named Trevor Zegras who was also staring at Bianca.

“Don’t say that look, she is just so deep.” Luke said gazing at the girl trying to listen in on what she was saying. 

“See, there’s a difference between like and love, because I like my Miss Dior perfume, but I love my Prada backpack.” 

“But I love my Miss Dior.” Her blonde friend replied.

“That’s because you don’t have a Prada backpack.”

“I need her…how can I get close to her.” Luke asked his older brother.

“I mean, I heard she’s looking for a French tutor if you somehow learned French and have time for it in-between hockey.”

“That’s perfect!”

“So you learned French and have time?”

“No! But I will!”

While that was going on a girl by the name of Y/N L/N was in her literature class, Jack Hughes came into the class for a moment and started speaking. 

“Has class started?”

“No, but please take your-”

“Ok! Later!” Jack said before walking out the class.

“Hey you can’t just-!” The teacher said before quickly giving up, obviously tired of his job.

The bell rang and then the teacher, Mr. Morgan, started speaking.

“So, what did everyone think of ‘The sun also rises?’”

A pink short haired girl raised her hand and instantly started speaking without the teacher even calling on her.

“I loved it, it was so romantic.” she said dreamily, clasping her hands together.

“Romantic? Hemingway?” Y/N said scoffing “He was an abusive alcoholic misogynist who spent half his life hanging around Picasso trying to nail his leftovers.” She finished rolling her (e/c) eyes.

“As opposed to a bitter self-righteous hag who has no friends.” Trevor replies looking around the class with a smug smirk.

“Pipe down chachi!” Mr. Morgan yelled, causing Trevor’s ego to deflate.

“I guess in this society being male and an asshole makes you worthy of our time.” Y/N replies, turning her body towards Trevor as the class laughs. “What about Sylvia Plath, or literally any other female writer that doesn't have a negative connotation associated with them.” Y/N said putting some of her h/l h/c hair behind her ear.

“Mr. Morgan, is there any way we could get Y/N to take her Midol before she comes to class.” Trevor says with a smug look.

“Someday you’re gonna get bitch slapped and I am not gonna do anything to stop it.” Mr. Morgan replies with a smug look back “Y/N I want to thank you for your point of view, I know how difficult it must be to overcome all those years of upper middle-class oppression, must be tough, but before you start talking about that think about why they can’t buy a book written by a Black Man!” Mr. Morgan says looking at her.

“That’s right man!” two white boys say.

“Don’t even get me started on you two…” Mr. Morgan says as the two boys put their fists down.

“Anything else?” Y/N asks.

“Yeah, go to the office you’re pissing me off again.”

“Mr. Morgan-?” 

“Later!” He says dramatically before Y/N grabs her books walking out.

Y/N walked with her friend as she explained what happened walking to her car.

“Well then Mrs. Meyer reminded me that I kicked Trevor in the balls, and I still maintain he kicked himself in the balls.” she said casually as her friend Nayeon laughed.

“I don’t think that is exactly what happened.” Nayeon said as she got in Y/N’s car pulling her red skirt down a bit.

Quinn drove in front of Y/N’s red car on a motorcycle. Knowing her and her temper she looked at the hockey player in disgust.

“Get out the way Bozo!” she shouted speeding away before seeing her sister, Bianca.

“I know you can be overwhelmed, and underwhelmed but can you just be whelmed?” Bianca asked her blonde friend Chastity.

“I think you can in Europe!” Chastity replies before Trevor pulls up in his bronco.

“You hot young thangs need a ride?” he asked, smirking before Bianca and Chastity giggled getting in the back of his Bronco before he sped away.

“That is one shocking new development.” Nayeon stated in disgust.

“I am not surprised,” Y/N said before honking her red car once again, but this time at Luke. 

“Jesus! Get out of the way!” she said before speeding away blasting Indie rock music.

“Who was that?” Luke asked, obviously a little annoyed.

“That my dear brother is the shrew, Y/N L/N, your girlfriend's sister.” Quinn said trying not to laugh at his brother’s reaction.

“That mean, pretty girl is Bianca’s sister?” Luke asked in shock.

Later, Y/N was reading ‘The Bell Jar’ while sitting in a green chair. She was in some gray PJ pants and a blank tank top. Her dad came up to her flipping through a newspaper.

“Make anyone cry today Y/N?” Her dad asked her looking at a story in the newspaper.

 “Sadly, No, but it is only 4:30.” She said, smiling at her father. He returned the smile before Bianca came into the room.

“Hi dad!” she said, kissing him on the cheek, having to go on her tiptoes to do so.

“Why hello precious.” her dad said back smiling at his daughter.

“Where have you been?” Y/N asked, tucking some of her h/l h/c behind her ear.

“Nowhere.” Bianca replied sassily, flipping some of her long black hair over her shoulder a pink tint painting her freckled face.

Y/N’s dad picked up some mail before looking at it confused.

“What’s this, it says Sarah Lawrence?” her dad said looking at the letter before Y/N squealed and jumped happily taking the letter in her hands smiling “I got in!” she said, running to another couch.

“Honey…that is great but isn’t Sarah Lawrence a Law firm on the other side of the country?” Her dad asked, “Don’t you wanna stay here to find a college closer to home…so you could fully become a husky like me.” her dad said, faking a growl.

“Sarah Lawrence is one of the best colleges and the basis of its appeal is being far away from Michigan.” the girl says, still smiling at the paper.

“C’mon Y/N are you just gonna pick up and leave, is that it?” he says a little frustrated now.

“Let’s hope so!” Bianca said smiling.

“Tell dad who drove you home today.” Y/N replied.

“Who drove you home?”

“Now don’t overreact dad but this guy named Trevor on the hockey team-”

“Who’s a flaming imbecile!” Y/N added as Bianca tried to step closer to her.

“And I think he might ask me-”

“Please, Please I think I know what he is going to ask you,” Bianca’s dad said as she guided her to the couch next to Y/N

“I also think I know the answer, No! It is always No! What are the two-house rules? Number 1, No dating till you graduate college, Number 2, No dating till you graduate high school, That’s it.”

“Daddy, that is so unfair!” Bianca said, folding her arms over her chest.

“You wanna know what is unfair? This morning I delivered a set of twins to a 15- year-old girl, younger than both of you, do you know what she said to me?” Y/N’s dad said as he looked between both of his daughters.

“I am a dumbass who should’ve made my sleazy boyfriend wear a condom?” Bianca replied, rolling her brown eyes.

Their dad pursed his lips before speaking again “Close, but no, she said I should’ve listened to my father.”

“She did not!” Bianca replied as Y/N rolled her e/c eyes at her father.

“But that is what she would’ve said if she wasn’t on so much anesthesia.” he replies.

“Can we focus on me for a second! I am the only girl in school who doesn't date!” Bianca states dramatically, twiddling her fingers.

“Oh no you’re not, your sister doesn’t date.”

“I also don’t intend to, have you seen the unwashed monsters that attend and roam that school spreading their stink around?” Y/N said, folding her arms in front of her chest.

“What planet are you from? Planet loser?” Bianca said about to tackle her sister. 

“As opposed to Planet ‘Look at mey, look at mey’” Y/N replied, flapping her s/c arms around as she mocked Bianca’s voice.

Their dad claps, causing both of the gorgeous girls to look at him one with a pout and one with a smirk.

“Ok new rule out new rule in, Bianca can date.” Their dad says smiling as Y/N looks at him like he's crazy and Bianca smiles smugly sticking her tongue out at her sister.

“When Y/N does.”

On The Court!

paring: volleyball player!theo x fem reader

genre: smau, crack, humor, university au, enemies to lover, fluff,

sypnosis: Being apart of the journalism club you have to take pictures and interview various teams for the schools news article. Usually your friends were the ones who did the talking while you took the pictures silently in the back. But when a certain volleyball captain decides to not only spike a killer ball right into your forehead but also smash your self bought camera in the process you have no other choice but to either chew him out or bang his head with the valleyball twice as hard mid concussion; you chose the latter. This results in not only you being the newest manager for the volleyball team and Theo becoming a ‘part-timer’ on the journalism team but also a sudden rivalry between you and the blonde headed captain.

Pairing: Iwaizumi Hajime x GN!Reader

Song: Go Home. Play Music. Feel Better. By Micheal Cera Palin

Taglist: @the-black-birb @hqwriter @miyulovestowrite @madireyn

WC: 1108

Right now I'm crawling out of the skin I'm entitled to

Into the one you think makes me look best

Is it you or me who I'll attempt to be lying to

Only to show my colors when I get undressed

Showcasing my body, miserably recounting

Creating a mirage, imitating intimacy in Cobb County

☼☼☼

Iwaizumi knew it really was pointless. How could he ever think someone would actually want him over Oikawa? That they wouldn’t date him just to get closer to the other boy & leave Iwaizumi when they thought Oikawa would fall for them? Stupid. Just stupid. He can hardly believe he ever thought anyone would want him.

“Iwa-chan!” He hears Oikawa call, and almost instantly schools his expression. You were by Oikawa’s side, and grasping onto his arm like his fangirls do a lot of the time. He sighs internally. What if he was more like Oikawa? Would you like him then? Probably not. He could never be like his best friend, he’d go insane.

He thought that maybe the two of you wouldn’t pick up on how he was a little more quiet during lunch. But you did, always attentive towards him, more so than Oikawa. “Iwaizumi, are you okay?” You ask, voice almost music to his ears. Internally, he shakes his head a little, then answers. “I’m fine, y/n.” He replies, ignoring the small frown on your face.

He goes back to picking at his lunch, not as hungry as he normally is, hoping you would just turn a blind eye to him and his thoughts. You didn’t though, concerned for the boy you’d just started crushing on.

☼☼☼

But I will not falter, I will not budge

I will stop trying to say it doesn't matter so much

Take on a cause, hold for the applause

Impulsive vanity's a common crutch

Coming to terms with the matter of facts

Like the fact that I matter at all

Consume my body like I consume Adderall

☼☼☼

You didn’t expect Tooru Oikawa to find you in your hiding place, the far corner of the roof beside the Air Conditioner unit. He told you that he heard crying and came to check it out, but you couldn’t miss the hurt in his eyes. The way his eyes had hurt in them, almost like he was the one crying instead of you. 

“Talk to me, y/n.” Was all he had to say to have you spilling your guts about the very thing you kept secret from him. That you’d fallen for his best friend, and hard. You felt guilty, knowing that Oikawa liked you in some manner, but couldn’t ignore how you felt for Iwaizumi. He’d muscled his way into your heart.

Oikawa was so happy for his friend, despite his own feelings towards you, glad that someone was able to see just how likeable he was. The two of you talked for a bit before heading off to meet up with Iwa. Having stumbled a little when you got up, Oikawa offered you his arm to make sure you didn’t fall.

It didn’t take you long to realize that taking his arm was a mistake. The look on Iwaizumi’s face when he saw you holding onto Oikawa made your heart freeze. You push the feeling aside, sitting down and eating with them. After being brushed off by Iwa you just nod, frowning before getting up. 

“I gotta go. Cya.” You spit out before walking off, leaving a stunned Iwaizumi and groaning Oikawa behind.

“You know she likes you, Iwa-chan. You idiot.” Oikawa points out, and Iwaizumi’s jaw drops.

☼☼☼

I know something you don't

We'll talk it over if you'd answer your phone

(I'll sit and wait in my bed, I'll sit and wade in your head)

Coming to find I need to pick up my slack

Realize I can't go back

To pick up pieces, fulfill those things that I lack

☼☼☼

Your phone kept ringing, but you adamantly ignored it as you sat on a bench in the forest. You didn’t want to talk to anyone, especially whoever was calling. Though you had a guess as to who it was. If Oikawa had spilled the beans, it would be Iwaizumi. If not then it was Oikawa. 

You didn’t want to talk to either of them, but you could barely listen to music with their constant calling. Groaning, you pick up without checking who it was.

“What the fuck do you want?” You spit, hearing a sputtering laugh on the other end. Iwa. Of course, the one person you didn’t really want to talk to. “Look, y/n. Where are you?? I’ve been trying to find you but you aren’t at home or anywhere around school. I have something I want to tell you.” He says, talking fast. You sigh into the phone.

“In the forest, at my usual spot.” You tell him, your voice monotone as you hear him breathing heavily. Is he running? “See you soon.” He pants into the phone and you nod, knowing he can’t see it. The call drops. What does he want from you?

☼☼☼

Wide-eyed and not so smart

For I'm just a body, a temple with doors kept as open as my heart

Long drive full of thoughts

Thinking we could be something worthwhile, but nonetheless we'll never talk

So go home where you roam

Take comfort in wherever you plant your feet

☼☼☼

“Y/N!” You hear, turning your head to see Iwaizumi running towards you. You laugh a little, seeing he’s rolled up his shirt sleeves. “What is it?” You ask, somehow feeling every ounce of anger melt from your person. 

“I really like you. Like a lot. I was wondering if… If you wanted to go out sometime?” He confesses, cheeks a deep red as he attempts to catch his breath. You feel all the heat rush to your face, taken aback. 

“I- Iwaizumi. I didn’t think you felt the same way I do.” You mumble, looking up at him. He’s bent over, hands on his knees, and you smile up at him. “I’d love to.” You confess, and he grins at you, moving to cup your cheek with his hand. 

“Can I kiss you?” He asks, and you nod eagerly. The kiss feels like home. Like coming home from a wild day to stability and comfort. Almost as if with one action he can make everything alright again.

You were stupid, thinking that he wouldn’t feel the same. He was stupid, thinking that you liked Oikawa, of all people. Maybe though, this first love will last, despite how young and dumb the two of you can be.
