Invisobang: Morge pt 1

It was a beautiful day outside. The birds were singing, the flowers were blooming...a corpse was found in the woods.

Or, Amity Park's local cadaver dog trainer was walking her dog in the woods when they discovered a little surprise waiting for them six feet under.

The dog bounded up ahead, his tongue flopping out of his mouth and his back paws kicking up dirt behind him.

If Sarah Abrams didn’t own him, it would have been too easy to assume he was just another derpy German Shepherd. But after years of training him, she knew how good at his job he was. As soon as the vest hit his fur, his playful demeanor changed to a serious, dependable, working dog.

He raced over to a tree, sniffing around the trunk.

“What you got there, bud?” Sarah called out from behind.

He looked at her momentarily before bending down, picking up a large stick in his mouth, and running up ahead.

“Figures.”

It was a beautiful morning, one that a midwesterner such as Sarah had spent too long dreaming about through the dreaded winter months. But finally the ground had thawed, and all remains of winter had evaporated into the air. The birds fluttered around building their nests, the squirrels climbed up and down trees in search of food, and the plants along the forest floor were budding, preparing to release a colorful sea of flowers.

By all accounts, it was the perfect morning for a hike in the woods. Amity Park, though a bustling city, did have its peaceful trails along the outskirts. Most people didn’t bother exploring them, seeing them as too out of the way, but not Sarah.

And her dog, Atlas, with his tail wagging and his head tilting from the weight of the large stick he proudly hauled with him seemed to agree.

A dewdrop hit her forehead, and she looked up, shading her eyes from the sun. The air was just warm enough that she could forgo her jacket, but not quite warm enough to also leave her sweatshirt in her car. Though, the world was just beginning to wake up for the day. She had left with her dog just before stores opened, and by the time she would arrive back in her neighborhood, the streets would be bustling with activity.

It was the perfect Saturday morning.

“What do you say, Atlas. You think I should get a bagel on the way back?”

But the dog didn’t turn to respond, having dropped the heavy stick in favor of darting off the trail to chase a squirrel.

Sarah had always wanted to work in Amity Park’s K-9 unit, and was all too excited when her application for an open position was accepted. From there she underwent training before she was placed with a new puppy, Atlas. The two of them worked together for months every day before he was finally able to start on the field as a cadaver dog.

It was a bit of a morbid job, if Sarah were being honest. Her parents had been rather concerned when Sarah admitted what field of the K-9 unit she was going into, but they tried their best to show their support. Even if her mom couldn’t help but make a face when Sarah tried to explain the various training exercises she did with Atlas.

But Sarah loved her work. She felt like she was truly making a difference in this city, and Atlas was an absolute joy to work with. In the four years they’d been together, they’d developed a keen sense of trust between each other that could only come out of the hours and hours spent training each week.

And despite his serious, professional demeanor when he was on the job, off the job he could be a bit of a goofball.

She stepped over a log and continued down the dirt path. She’d lost sight of Atlas, but she wasn’t concerned. He was never too far away from her.

And as if right on cue, a bark sounded from behind some brush.

Sarah recognized that bark, it was the same clipped, alerted tone he used in training and out on the field.

“What’s up?” Sarah called out.

Atlas barked again.

She frowned, moving the brush aside and stepping out from the trail’s path. She stepped behind a few trees and bushes before she saw her dog lying down on top of a patch of dirt, his body language wary, looking at her just like he did when he found human remains in training.

Sarah froze, looking at him. He barked again, and sniffed the ground.

Well trained cadaver dogs had ninety-five percent accuracy, and could easily ignore dead animal remains and food in favor of decomposing or even skeletal bodies. They could find human remains up to fifteen feet below the ground, and could even sniff out bodies underwater.

Sarah pulled out her phone.

It seemed like her morning hike was officially over.

---

“You have a very lucky dog,” Mark said, handing her a coffee.

Sarah hummed, graciously accepting the beverage. The scene had been roped off and was flooded with officers, detectives, and medical personnel. The morning had since passed, and now the sun beamed down on the tired workers.

It had been pure luck that Atlas had decided to wander off of the dirt path that day, that he had bounded from side to side, too full of energy to keep in a straight line. If they had walked by, would that person ever have been discovered?

“It’s deep in the ground,” Mark continued. “Whoever buried this John Doe didn’t want him to be found.”

“Kind of sick if you think about it,” Sarah said.

They had just uncovered the body, but it was unidentifiable on sight alone. It would need to be transported to a morgue before they could get any answers.

Mark took a long sip of his coffee. He was one of the younger detectives on the force, and for that reason, he and Sarah bonded instantly when he was hired in Amity. He was bright, exceptionally so, and showed a compassion for victims that was rare to see in law enforcement.

Sarah threaded her fingers through her blonde ponytail. “Well, hopefully you can solve one of your missing children’s cases.”

“Yeah, that would be nice.”

A man with salt and pepper hair came up to the duo. “Abrams?”

Sarah straightened immediately. “Sir?”

“You have a good dog. We’ll need you to come down to the station of course to give an official statement.”

“Of course, sir.”

She hadn’t had much conversation with the police chief, who was often a bit too old fashioned for Sarah’s taste. The man had only just switched to his first smartphone after his trusted flip phone finally refused to turn on after its years of service.

Of course, Chief Davis had spent about a week bemoaning the fact that people were insisting he get a smartphone, no he didn’t need one, his phone was fine, people these days were too reliant on technology and back in my day…

Rumor had it that his wife had been the one to finally crack him. And the man got his new sleek iphone, spent about a week asking every young recruit at work how to do basic tasks on the device, before he discovered that he could use Facebook on his phone. The following week had been filled with nothing but praise for modern software engineers.

Sarah flickered her eyes back over to the scene. The evidence bags and cotton swabs were being taken out of their cases as detectives gently prodded around the body.

Suddenly, there was a chill in the air. Sarah shivered and pulled her APD sweatshirt sleeves down her arms.

It felt...odd. The chill, it didn’t feel the same as when a spring breeze cut through a harsh, sunny day.

Atlas let out a warning bark.

Sarah’s brows furrowed. Something wasn’t right. No, this chill wasn’t on her skin. It felt deeper than that.

But before she could think about it, the body started glowing a familiar green.

Mark jumped back. “Holy shit!”

The detectives around the body scrambled back and whipped their ecto-guns out of their holsters. Everyone stood, watching with bated breath as the temperature plummeted and the green glow brightened before a familiar spirit shimmered into view.

“What the fuck,” Sarah whispered.

The figure hovered over the body disoriented, rubbing at his forehead as if he had a headache. A black jumpsuit covered his body, fading out at the end where a ghostly tail had replaced his legs.

Mark shot Sarah a horrified glance. “Is that—”

“Danny Phantom!” Chief Davis said, stepping forward.

Phantom’s hand fell, revealing acid green eyes. He surveyed the scene before finally turning his attention to the decomposing corpse below him.

He stiffened. Sarah saw the exact moment when reality hit his features.

“No…” he whispered, his eyes growing wide.

The air grew even colder.

The Chief raised his ecto-gun. “Step away from the body, Phantom.”

Phantom flew down, ignoring the chief, and hovered just above the cadaver. He reached down as if to touch the body, before he shot back, hitting a tree.

He gripped his chest, his eyes filled with panic.

“Phantom!” Chief Davis tried again.

Phantom’s eyes swung over to their group, and Sarah felt the breath leave her lungs. She had never seen the boy up close before, and he never exactly stuck around after fights to allow for conversation or questioning.

There had been close-ups of him on the news, as well as the occasional Tiktok or Youtube video from a random teen. And in those, Phantom always seemed so human, so real. And while publicly, as a member of the APD, Sarah was unable to voice her support for the vigilante ghost, privately she had never minded him. After all, he mostly stuck to ghost affairs, and whenever he got involved in human crime, it was always from a rescue position. Like saving an elderly man from a burning building, or saving the bus full of kids that almost drove off the road that one time. He’d never really interfered with police, not really.

And that’s why, as a teenaged human-like ghost, he was so beloved by the people. Glowing aura and white hair aside, he just seemed like a regular teen. His personality, demeanor, sense of humor, seemed so... normal.

But now, something was off. He seemed more ghost-like than Sarah ever remembered.

For the first time, Danny Phantom looked dangerous.

“Why are you here?” Chief Davis asked.

Phantom looked between the police chief, the body on the ground, and then back to the chief. Something snapped inside him and his face set, his look of panic transforming to deathly calm.

“You need to leave.” Phantom’s voice was cold.

“This is a crime scene. You can’t be here, ghost.”

The aura around Phantom brightened. “No. You need to leave.”

The chief didn’t flinch. “You either step away from the body, or I’ll shoot.”

“You don’t understand.”

“Why? Did you know him?”

Phantom’s eyes widened, and he slowly raised his hand out in front of him.

Chief Davis stepped forward. “Were you the one that killed him?”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” Phantom said, allowing the acid green to overtake his entire eyes. His hands began to glow. “You need to leave.”

“Phantom, don’t do this. You’re completely surrounded by armed cops who have a much better shot than the ghost hunters you’re used to dealing with. Come quietly, son.”

The ghost let out a hysterical laugh. “Come quietly? Or what, you’ll show up to my house and arrest me? I’m dead! You can’t do anything!”

Chief Davis’ eyes narrowed. “That’s not true and you know it. We’ve turned a blind eye to your vigilantism for over a year. You shoot, and you’ll be an enemy of the city. You won’t be able to haunt Amity Park peacefully any longer.”

The air in front of Phantom crackled with ectoplasm. His hair floated, as if underwater, and he brought up his other arm to share some of the acidic burden.

Sarah shivered, and she felt Atlas press up against her legs.

“I’ll repeat myself one more time: stand down, or we’ll be forced to shoot.”

Phantom gritted his teeth. Conflict played across his features, and it seemed like ages had passed before he finally opened his mouth. “I don’t want to hurt you, but I...I can’t let you take the... that.” He jerked his head to the corpse.

“And why is that?”

“Because…it’s—I…”

Realization hit Sarah like a ton of bricks. She froze, her eyes flickering between the rotting body and the distressed ghost above it.

Of course. It was too obvious.

Before she could stop herself, Sarah’s mouth flew open. “Phantom, is that you?”

It was as if the air were sucked out of the woods completely. Every head snapped towards her. The ghost faltered, the ectoplasmic blast he’d been preparing disappearing into thin air.

Then finally, his shock morphed into fear.

She was right.

“That boy.” Sarah pointed to the body. “That was you, wasn’t it?”

A trembling hand shot up to the ghost’s chest. “You—you can’t...you can’t—”

“I’m right, aren’t I?”

The air was getting colder still. Phantom drifted closer to the body, as if to protect it.

Chief Davis lowered his ecto-gun and slowly stepped forward, as if coaxing a feral dog out from a corner. “Look, son, we can find whoever did this to you. We can bring them to justice.”

“You—you don’t understand.”

“No, I think I do. You were a kid, you were scared, and someone did something terrible to you and tried to cover it up in the woods. You’re trying to protect them because you’re still scared, but if there’s someone out there who hurt you, we can help.”

“It’s not like that. You need to leave.”

“You know we can’t do that. This is a crime scene now. We need to bring this—your human body in for investigation.”

Phantom turned down to face the rotting corpse, his face twisting in pain. “Then I have no choice.” He shot down, and had barely touched the body when Mark fired, his ectoblast burying itself in Phantom’s side.

The ghost was thrown back against the tree. “No!” he roared, but it was too late. Cops were on the body, shielding it from the ghost’s view.

Phantom glowed, his eyes turning blue.

“Don’t let him get that corpse!’ Chief Davis shouted, scrambling forward.

Phantom whipped his hand out front, but before he could release his glowing ecto-ice ball, Mark fired again, his blast hitting Phantom square in the eyes.

Blinded, the ghost screamed, unleashing spurts of energy from his mouth.

Sarah hit the ground immediately, covering Atlas’ ears. “It’s the wail!” she yelled.

But before Phantom’s miniature wail could manifest into something deafening, Mark’s partner, Jacob Crowley, fired his taser. It locked onto Phantom’s arm, releasing volts of electricity into the screaming ghost.

Phantom fell to the forest floor, twitching and jerking as his yells projected into the sky above him. And just as soon as it started, it all stopped. The ghost let out one final cry of pain before his head lulled into unconsciousness, and the forest was quiet once again.

Cops were on the ghost at once, locking ecto-inhibitors onto his neck and hands and hoisting him up to be carried out to a vehicle. There was no telling how long the ghost would stay unconscious for. If they were lucky, they could dump him into the back of a police car before he woke up.

Sarah stood, brushing dirt and pebbles from her pants. “Holy shit,” she breathed.

“Everyone alright?” Chief Davis called out. “Any injuries?”

There was a chorus of ‘all clears!’ from around the scene.

“Nice shot, Mark,” Jacob said, putting his taser back in its holster.

“I had no idea tasers worked on ghosts,” Mark said.

“Me too. Lucky guess.”

“Damn right.”

Jacob was a seasoned detective, having worked for APD for fifteen years. Despite the age gap between the duo, he’d taken Mark right under his wing and the two got along swimmingly. What Jacob lacked in physical prowess, Mark made up for. And what Mark—although intelligent—lacked in experience, Jacob made up for tenfold.

“Alright!” Chief Davis announced to the crowd. A hush fell over the scene. “Let’s pick up where we left off. Finish collecting samples, and let’s get the body over to the coroner. Crowley, Abrams, and Johnson, head to the station with Phantom. I want him questioned. The rest of you, back to work!”

Sarah tugged on Atlas’ leash, following Mark and Jacob out of the woods.

“That’s incredible,” Mark said, stepping around the brush and onto the dirt trail. “Who would have thought it’d be Phantom’s body?”

“Yeah, it’s pretty insane to think about,” Sarah agreed. “It was just luck that Atlas stumbled across it too.”

Jacob nodded, his expression hidden behind his sunglasses. The sun peeked through the trees, highlighting his tan face and accenting the small lines that adorned his skin. “Whatever it was, there was clearly a cover up. Now the question remains on whether Phantom remembers what happened or not.”

“I think I remember reading a paper by the Fentons that said ghosts don’t remember the details of their deaths, just the general gist of what happened and the emotions they felt during it. And knowing that Phantom hasn’t exactly spent his time enacting revenge on any one person in particular, it’s unlikely that he remembers who killed him,” Mark said.

“Unless it was an accident.” Jacob ran his hand through his black and grey hair. “Phantom could be protecting them.”

“That could be true,” Sarah said. “It could explain why Phantom was so insistent that we stop investigating.”

“Kids these days…” Jacob muttered.

“Regardless, we’re going to solve this one. No matter what,” Mark said. “Phantom’s been tied to this town for a year, and we’re going to figure out why.”

“Aye, aye, Captain,” Sarah said, giving a mock salute.

The trio lapsed into silence, and the sounds of their shoes trudging against the dirt and rocks was all that filled the air.

It seemed almost insane that the body was Phantom’s. Though relatively new to Amity, his popularity had grown so quickly that it almost felt as if he'd been a cornerstone of Amity Park for years.

He was the hero, but also a bit of an enigma. He appeared when ghosts attacked, he fought them, said a few bad puns, inevitably won, said a few words to the public, and then would disappear. No one knew where he came from or where he went when he was finished with a fight, just that somehow he’d magically materialize the next time Amity was threatened.

Lately, the public had seen more of him outside of his fights, however. It wasn’t much, but there were the occasional sighting of him lounging around at the park or lazily flying under the moonlight. But even then, the question of “ Who was Phantom really?” remained a mystery.

Not for much longer.

Off in the distance, she spotted the police car in a clearing. “Meet you guys at the station?”

“Where’s your car?” Mark asked. “You need a ride?”

“Nah, mine’s just down the path a bit further. It’s fine, we can walk. Besides, I want to talk to Erin first before I leave.”

Mark glanced at Jacob, and then nodded. “Okay, see you there.”

---

Mark Johnson was a gifted kid. He grew up in the honors classes, graduated top of his class at the police academy, and was promoted to a detective after just five years on the force, the minimum requirement to be considered for detective positions in his department.

He was a quick thinker with a keen eye for detail, and he knew it.

Which is why when he hopped in the passenger’s seat of his vehicle to see an absolutely irate overpowered teenage ghost already awake in the back seat, he realized that he had absolutely no idea what the protocol was.

He’d been warned that the ghost was awake. “The fucker bites,” grumbled one of the city cops as Mark had walked by. Yes, he knew what he was walking into. But for some reason, it never occurred to him that dealing with a ghost may be different than a human. And why would it be different? Phantom may have been a dead teen, but he was still a teen. Teens were dumb, they were moody, they said and did impulsive things.

And yet, when he looked into Phantom’s glowering eyes, he instantly saw just out of depth he was.

Because although their training had covered ghosts—after all, this was Amity Park—the training always had to do with how destructive ghosts were, the best places to shoot them, how to maintain their ecto-guns, etc.

But talking to ghosts? Interacting with them?

Cuffing them and sticking them in the back of a vehicle to transport for questioning?

Yeah, the books didn’t have much to say about that.

Crowley’s gruff voice snapped him out of his thoughts. “Alright, let’s go.” His partner slid into his seat and jammed his keys into the ignition.

“Right,” Mark said awkwardly, glancing back at the teen ghost.

Up close, Mark could see just how powerful this ghost was. He was small, even for a teen, but even without his powers he still emitted an aura that screamed danger.

Crowley pulled out of the parking lot, merging onto the road. Despite the obvious tension the ghost was building behind him, the veteran cop didn’t seem phased. He reached over and fiddled with his car stereo.

“You got any station you like?” Crowley asked, raising his voice.

The ghost didn’t respond, instead opting to continue simmering in his seat.

“I hope you don’t mind rock.” Crowley raised the volume, and the sounds of 80’s guitar filled the empty space in the car. “I got a kid about your age you know. Well, maybe a little younger. What are you, fourteen?”

The ghost’s eyes narrowed. “Fifteen.”

Mark blinked, surprised at how normal the ghost’s tone seemed to sound compared to the frantic echoing in the forest.

“Ah, well, close enough,” Crowley continued. “Anyways, she’s obsessed with this new stuff. What’s it called, Kpop? Tpop? Something like that. Plays it around the house all the time. I can’t stand it. I’ll never tell her that, but the modern pop shit just gives me a headache.”

Phantom’s eyes shifted over to the window.

“Johnson over here doesn’t agree.” Crowley nodded over to Mark. “He listens to that garbage all the time.”

Mark felt his face heat up. “I listen to electronic music. It’s a completely different genre.”

“Still sounds like crap, though.”

“Whatever you say, old man.”

Crowley scoffed, but otherwise kept silent. He was a good natured man with an unquestionable wit and preference for the “good old days.” But fortunately, he could take it just as well as he could dish it.

“I know it seems bad now, but eventually you’ll be thankful that dog found your body. We’ll be able to bring you justice,” Mark said.

“I don’t want justice. I want to be left alone.”

The car lapsed into silence, but it wasn’t a comfortable one. No matter how hard Mark tried, it was impossible to ignore the glowing, angry teen in the seat behind him. He wondered how much of that was because Phantom was the town’s ghost celebrity and how much was due to the fact that Phantom’s aura seemed to swallow the air around it.

Was the ghost somehow...projecting his irritation out to Mark and his partner? Could he even do that? Mark knew he was a powerful being, but was emotion manipulation one of his powers?

Phantom was the one to break the silence. “Where are you taking me?”

“To the station, of course,” Crowley answered easily.

“And the GIW?” the ghost asked, his voice tense.

Mark and Crowley exchanged a glance.

“Well…” Crowley started. “That depends on what happens when we get there.”

“What?”

Crowley hummed, stroking his brown and silver mustache. “Technically we have to turn you over to the Ghost Investigation Ward, but considering you’re a key witness on this case, I can’t say I’m so keen on turning you over. At least, not quite yet.”

“Great.” Phantom leaned back in his seat. “So let me see if I’m getting this right. You’re going to use me to figure out who this big bad mystery killer is, and then you’re going to dump me over to the government?”

“Not exactly. Think of it more like, your fate depends on your cooperation in this case.”

Phantom groaned. “I’m so fucked.”

“Why do you say that?” Mark asked.

“Because I’m boring. You guys think there’s some terrible person at large, when spoiler alert! It was just me.”

Crowley’s eyes narrowed in suspicion. “A suicide?”

“Sure, whatever you call it.” Phantom’s shoulders rose to his ears, and his face flushed green. “I...offed myself, okay? It’s boring.”

“That still doesn’t explain how your body ended up buried in the woods,” Mark commented.

“Does it matter?

“Well, it would make you a liar. So yes, I’d say it matters,” Crowley said.

Phantom lurched forward in his seat. “I’m not lying.”

“Then explain to me how your body ended up in the woods. You can’t have done it to yourself. There was an accomplice there. And if that’s the case, I’d be hard pressed to find out from the coroner if it was actually a suicide or, say, something else that you’re not telling us.”

“I’ve told you everything I know,” grumbled Phantom. “I’m not lying.”

Mark exchanged a look with Crowley before he twisted around, looking at the ghost directly. “Listen, I know how difficult this is. What happened to you was traumatic, I’m sure. We’re on your side here. We want to help you.”

Phantom averted his gaze.

“You had your whole life ahead of you. It’s not fair to you that it was cut so short. You never got the chance to grow up, right?”

“I don’t care about that,” Phantom hissed. He jerked his head up, and despite the ecto-inhibitors, the ghost’s eyes growed a ferocious green. “Shut up, you have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Mark saw Crowley stiffen next to him.

“Phantom, listen to me. If you help us, we can help resolve this situation. Bring peace to your death.”

“Just so you can ship me off to the GIW, right? As per law?” Phantom straightened in his seat, his aura around him shining impossibly bright. “Forget it. I’ve decided I’m done with you assholes.”

“Wait! What are you—”

The ghost yelled and yanked his arms out, breaking the chain between his ecto-infused cuffs.

Mark scrambled in his seat for his ecto-gun, but Phantom was too fast. Before Mark could blink, the ghost disappeared.

Crowley slammed on the breaks, and the vehicle swerved, rolling onto a grassy field next to the highway. A few cars honked as they passed on by.

Mark panted in his seat, his head spinning wildly as he searched for the ghost, but it was no use. Phantom was gone. There was no trace of him in the sky.

“Holy shit,” the normally calm senior detective breathed. “Holy shit.��

“He just broke out of the ecto-inhibitors. How did he do that?”

Crowley unbuckled his seatbelt and stumbled out of the car. He yanked open the back door and stared at the empty seat.

“Holy shit.”

---

As soon as Sarah stepped through her front door, she knew something was wrong. Even without Atlas’ growled warning, the air felt off. It was cold, reminiscent of the chilling temperature from a ghost attack.

“Who’s there?” Sarah said, her hand reaching for her ecto-gun. “Show yourself.”

“You were the one that found my body, right?” Phantom popped into visibility. He floated an inch above the couch, his legs crossed and chin propped on his fist. “You and your dog found it.”

That wasn’t a question. He knew.

And he looked pissed.

Sarah stood by the door, debating her chances if she ran. Phantom could fly faster than she could run, and if she tried to escape, who knew how he’d react. She wouldn’t make it far.

“Well?” He pressed at her silence. “I’m right. Just admit it.”

“Yes.” Her lips barely moved.

Atlas gave another low growl.

“How.”

That wasn’t a question either.

“By chance,” she said.

He crossed his arms. “You’re going to have to be a little more specific than that.”

Her fingers twitched. If she could only reach her phone without him noticing, she might be able to call the emergency line. She could get their conversation recorded, and she could also get help.

She just needed to distract him. “I was taking my dog for a walk. He went off the trail, and found your body.”

“Just like that? You just happened to stumble across it?”

“Well, Atlas here is a trained cadaver dog. This is his specialty.”

The ghost furrowed his brows. He slumped, running his fingers through his stark white hair. “But I thought I—” he huffed. “I thought I put it deep enough.”

Sarah was taken aback. “What do you mean, Phantom? You buried your own body?”

“Of course!” He shot forward. “I had to.”

“Why?”

“I—I just…” He seemed to realize that he’d said too much, and he sulked back to the couch. “I just had to. You wouldn’t get it.”

“Okay,” Sarah said slowly, her brain struggling to work through the implications of that. “So does that mean nobody knows you’re dead?”

That puzzled look draped Phantom’s face once again, and he looked down at the carpet. Silence stretched between the duo, before Phantom muttered, “I don’t know.”

Even though her instincts were telling her to run, to pick up the phone and call for backup, something pulled her forward. She apprehensively made her way to the couch that Phantom was hovering just inches above, and sat down beside him. To her surprise, Phantom followed her lead, lowering himself onto the cushioned surface.

It was truly amazing how without his flared aura and powerful persona, Phantom really looked no different than any other teen. He was lost, confused, hurt.

Scared.

“Why don’t you want the police investigating this case?” Sarah asked.

“I just…” Phantom face screwed up as if he were sucking on a lemon. “It’s complicated.”

“What makes it complicated?”

“I don’t know. It just is.”

“Okay.” Trying to get Phantom to talk was like pulling teeth. “But you know that the police have to investigate, right? Legally?”

That got a reaction out of Phantom. His eyes brightened, and his mouth set into a snarl. “But that’s stupid! It’s my body, what gives them the right to mess with it? I thought people got to choose whether or not they wanted to press charges. I’m here and I’m telling you guys that I don’t want to press charges, that it was my fault I was ki—I died in the first place, and I buried my own fucking corpse in the woods!”

Sarah felt her jaw tighten. For once, she didn’t know how to respond.

“Aren’t there like laws that give people rights to their body post-mortem or something? I’m here and I don’t consent to my body being messed with, so shouldn’t that count enough?”

Studies on ecto-psychology were lacking, and conflicted more than not, if Sarah were honest. She knew that ghosts functioned differently than humans, and she knew that some ghosts were more intelligent than others, but she also knew that ghosts, due to their Obsessions, were easily swept into delusion.

Phantom was a ghost. He wasn’t a person, he didn’t have rights like humans did.

But he clearly thought he did. Or at least, he thought he deserved them.

And Sarah wasn’t knowledgeable enough to understand where the line between true cognitive function and delusion lied.

Instead, she settled for the next best thing. “True, but those laws don’t hold if a crime took place.”

Phantom groaned. “Oh for the last time, there was no crime! It was just me!”

“But the police don’t know that.”

“I just told them!” He threw his hands up. “Literally right before I got here!”

“Yes but—” You’re a ghost. “—were you even reported deceased? Does your family know what happened to you? Your parents?”

“That doesn’t matter.”

“Of course it does.”

“No,” he fumed. “No, it doesn’t. It really, really doesn’t.”

Sarah peered at the teen. His brows were pinched tightly together, and he was glaring at the ground. His mouth twitched, as if to elaborate, but then his jaw clamped back up and whatever thought nearly passed through his lips were locked again.

Death was a sensitive subject for ghosts, and Sarah knew that just as well as anyone else. But there was something else there, something Phantom didn’t want to admit. Something that he was hiding.

But why? Was he trying to forget his living family? His old friends? What would drive a person to do that?

Was it abuse?

“Phantom,” Sarah said gently. “I understand if you don’t want to talk to me about what happened to you, and I understand that the memories from your past can be painful. It’s okay that you have a lot of complicated feelings—”

“I don’t,” he cut in. “I don’t have complicated feelings. I’m—I’m just a ghost. We don’t…” He shut his eyes and took a deep breath. “I’m sorry, this was a mistake.”

“Wait, Phantom—”

He darted up and out of the chair. “No. I don’t remember my past and it doesn’t matter to me now. Please, tell your friends to stop investigating. It’s over, I don’t care. I just want my body back.”

Sarah stood. “Hang on, Phantom. Why don’t we go down to the station and talk about this together?”

Without so much as a glance behind him, Phantom disappeared, taking the cool chill that had permeated her living room with him.

“He’s hiding something,” Sarah told Atlas, who hovered protectively near her legs. “He’s definitely hiding something. The question is, what?”

“You guys really gave me an interesting one this time,” Williams, the coroner, said, adjusting his glasses. “Assuming this is Phantom’s body, the boy did not have a peaceful end.”

“What happened to him?” Mark said, peering down at the sallow remains of the corpse.

“Well, looking at some of the protruding bones, I noticed something rather interesting. It’s hard to make out, but on what’s left of his skin you can see some interesting lines.”

Mark squinted down, trying to pick out whatever the corner was looking at.

“Yeah, the body’s not in great shape, and so the cause of death can’t be determined for certain. But if you look closely, you can see what appears to be some sort of lightning scarring on his body, along with burn marks and tearing along the rest of his body.”

Mark looked up, puzzled. “You mean...he was electrocuted?”

“Most likely. That, or the electrocution took place just before his death,” the doctor said.

Mark stood for a moment, stumped. He’d expected the boy to have died of something more common in teens, like stab wounds or gunshot wounds. But electrocution?

Crowley leaned in, inspecting the body. “He could have been in an accident. That could explain why he was so angry about us investigating. Whoever covered up his death was likely a close friend or family member.”

“Damn,” Mark rested his back against the wall. “And that means he’s probably gone off to tell whoever was with him about this investigation, which will give them all time to prepare their stories.”

“Assuming there even was a someone else,” Crowley pointed out. “For all we know, Phantom could have been by himself.”

“What, so he buried his own dead body in the woods?”

Crowley shrugged. “He can interact with human objects, can he not?”

Mark grimaced, trying to chase away the mental images of a dead fifteen year old ghost digging his own grave.

“That’s pretty dark.”

“Oh!” The old man jumped up, moving to the corpse once again. “But you haven’t even gotten to the best part! This corpse is simply incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it, truly. I thought my scales were all broken, had to go measure other objects just to be sure. But the science doesn’t lie on this one! Simply fascinating.”

“What is it?” Crowley’s gruff voice slashed through the bubbly coroner’s rambling.

“Well,” Williams picked up a clipboard on the table. “Take a look for yourselves. Phantom’s human body just...doesn’t add up. That’s the only way I can describe it. His bones are significantly lighter than they should be.”

“How is that possible?”

“I have no idea. Even if our victim had osteoporosis, I’ve never seen bones this light before. And here’s another catch, is that even though they’re light and porous, they seem almost stronger than a regular bone.”

“This doesn’t make sense.” Mark peered down at the kid once again. He looked entirely unrecognizable from the hero in the skies. His skin was decayed, and—

“Hang on, is that black hair?” Mark pointed to the cadaver’s skull. “Phantom has white hair.”

Williams clasped his hands. “Yes! I nearly forgot about that one. Again, assuming this is Phantom’s body, it seems he had black hair when he was alive. I believe the hair samples, fingerprints, and other samples are already in the labs being tested. Hopefully they can pull a match—”

“Yup, they’re being tested as we speak. In a few hours, we can ID Phantom’s human body and put this whole case to rest,” Crowley said.

“I just wonder why his hair turned white. It must be some ghostly attribute. It makes me wonder what else about Phantom’s body changed, although he looks about the same height as his human counterpart. I wonder how much alteration is chosen by him and how much is ghost biology.”

“You’ll have to ask the Fentons about that,” Mark said.

Crowley scoffed. “Those lunatics? Please.”

“They may be lunatics, but they know their stuff.”

“I’d rather ask the GIW for help than the Fentons,” Crowley said, rolling his eyes. “Which speaking of, since we don’t yet have concrete evidence that this is Phantom’s body, the Ghost Investigation Ward hasn’t been summoned. But if the labs come back with some solid evidence, then this case may be taken out of our hands.”

Mark refrained from cursing. Internally, he knew that would be a likely outcome. But this was such a big case, and although he never voiced his opinion at work, he had always been a bit of a Phantom fan.

Well, aside from some of the vigilantism that the ghost participated in. Although well intentioned, at the end of the day Phantom was a teenager. They weren’t exactly known for thinking through the consequences before jumping headfirst into situations.

“Have they been alerted at all?” Mark asked.

“Not yet. But we’ll see when the labs come back.”

Mark nodded, studying the misshapen body. It wouldn’t be that easy though, would it? This was Phantom they were talking about. Surely the ghost wouldn’t have just let the police keep his corpse for so long unless he was confident that nothing would come out of this.

Surely he had a plan.

---

“What do you mean he showed up at your house?” Mark’s alarmed voice sounded from the other line.

Sarah pinched her cell between her ear and her shoulder. Hands free, she picked up a rag and began drying off her damp dinner plate. “Just what I said. He showed up at my house after he escaped from the police van and he told me that he buried his own body.”

“Why would he admit that to you? He didn’t even fess that much up to us. He must know that you’d talk to us.”

“Perhaps.” Sarah slotted the plate back in her cabinet. “I wonder if a part of him was almost relieved to tell me.”

“Did he mention anything about who he was with? He’s definitely protecting someone.”

“No, and honestly I’m not sure if anyone else knows about him. Mark, this seems like an accidental death. Did you get the coroner’s report yet?”

“Yup, death via electrocution, or at least that’s their best guess. A pretty gruesome way to go if you ask me.”

She paused, her hand frozen reaching for the dripping pot on her counter. Electrocution? That was certainly a rare case.

“It’s probably how he became a ghost,” Sarah said. “Ghosts form from tragic deaths, right? Electrocution is intense enough to form a ghost from.”

“You could be onto something. Depending on the lab results, we may have to call in the experts on this one.”

“The GIW?”

Mark hesitated. “We might...try to keep them out of this one. We’re trying to get Phantom to cooperate with us on this case. If they get involved, that’s sure to scare him off.”

“That’s smart.” Sarah wiped the now damp cloth along the base of the pot. “Did he say anything in the car with you before he ran off?”

“A bit, not too much though. Crowley tried to warm him up, but the ghost was too suspicious of us. Though, he did get defensive when we implied he was lying about his death.”

She internally groaned. That would explain why he seemed so pissed when he got to her house.

Well, that among other reasons.

“You’re an idiot. Did no one ever tell you that ghosts are sensitive about their deaths?”

“Hey, it’s not like ghost psychology is a part of our training!” Mark defended. “Hence why we’ll likely need to call in an expert.”

“Well maybe it should be,” Sarah mused. On her own, she’d admit that she’d read more than a few papers on ghosts on her own time. In such a short amount of time, ghosts had cemented themselves as an integral part of Amity Park. In her mind, the police would be remiss not to do their homework on ghosts too.

Although, the state didn’t care much about how much training police received on anything, much less human and ghost psychology. It had only been due to her sister taking the career path as a social worker that Sarah had any expert knowledge on how to handle cases of behavioral outbursts in severe cases of mental health.

But she was just one person in a sea of other cops, detectives, and other professionals in law enforcement. And unfortunately for them, ignorance was a plague in law enforcement.

“Well, if it makes you feel any better, he got pretty defensive with me too.”

“What happened?”

“Like with you, he left before I could really get anything out of him. But when I asked who knew about his death, he just told me that he didn’t remember anyone from his past life.”

Mark was silent on the other line.

“Yeah, I don’t believe him either.” Sarah put away the last dish and hung her kitchen towel back along the side of her oven. She pulled her phone out from her shoulder and continued, saying, “I’ve been doing some research since then and I read Maddie Fenton’s recent paper on ghost cognition. Now I know her specialty is biology, but she’s actually really onto something here.”

“Give me the rundown, Adams.”

“The paper’s basically an analysis of over a dozen recordings she’s taken while out on the field interacting with and following cognitive ghosts, as in ghosts who can at least hold a basic conversation. Her findings are essentially that there is a correlation between higher power ghosts and their memories, although she said age of the ghost could affect this as well. She said a level six ectoplasmic ghost Ember showed vivid signs of remembering certain details of her high school memories including a teenage boy and her desires of fame, as well as a pair of level five biker ghosts she encountered, who wanted to relive their days road tripping together.”

“And what’s Phantom’s level?” Mark asked.

“According to the Ghost Investigation Ward, Phantom was classified as a level seven specter.”

“And yet he said he didn’t remember anything? Well, that’s not exactly surprising. We’re investigating his death, which he doesn’t seem too happy about. It’s no wonder he’s willing to lie about that. Especially if my theory is right in that he’s protecting someone.”

Sarah sat down at her kitchen table and drummed her fingers against the wooden surface. Off in the distance, she could hear Atlas chewing on a bone.

“But that can’t be the only reason you brought this up, is it?” Mark’s tentative voice sounded from the other line.

“Yeah I just.” Sarah sighed. “I just can’t shake the feeling that he’s not just hiding this because he wants to protect anyone from the police. I don’t know...I just think there’s something deeper at play here.”

“Whatever it is, we’ll find out tomorrow. Lab reports should be in by then.”

“Tomorrow? That’s a bit delayed, isn’t it?”

“Yeah well apparently they got corrupted.” Mark sighed in audible annoyance. “Forensic ran all the samples and all of them showed errors. Nothing was usable.”

“You think someone sabotaged it on purpose?” Sarah asked.

“Most likely. But we have plenty of samples, so whoever’s trying to delay this won’t get far. If it happens again, the head of the department will get involved. Either way, we’ll know who Phantom is sooner than he’d like.”

“Well, I’ll keep my finger’s crossed.”

“Talk to you later, Abrams.”

---

Nothing felt right.

His body was hot and cold. It tingled, ached, was numb. Anxiety surrounded him like a blanket, wrapping his body in its arms.

He was trapped.This was wrong.

Nothing felt real.

Danny didn’t understand at first. He just knew he had to leave his room and he had to go somewhere. It was instinct, pure instinct. He couldn’t explain how he knew to teleport or where he was going, but he knew.

And then it was worse than what he could have imagined.

It had been two days since the police found his...his…

Body. It was his body.

Danny twisted his t-shirt in his hands. He wanted to stand up and walk out of the room, but if he did that then Lancer would ask questions and Danny didn’t know how to deal with that. As it stood, he was barely holding onto his human form. His core was aching to transform, to let his ghost half take over. He knew that if a single thing went wrong, his core would simply override his stubborn willpower and transform anyway, class be damned.

Because his core didn’t care about Shakespear or whatever playwright of the week Lancer had decided upon. His core only knew one thing: that his body was in the hands of the police.

And that the police were...ugh. Danny didn’t even want to think about it.

He wasn’t a science experiment to be tested upon, he was a person. A person who deserved to be treated with respect. A person who deserved to be left alone.

And yet those detectives don’t care. They’re mocking you. They’re poking and prodding at you. Are you going to take this? It's YOUR body. You need it back. Just take it. They can’t stop you, it’s YOURS.

But they could stop him. And Danny knew this because he’d already tried last night, and he couldn’t even get close to his body.

Stupid ghost shields, stupid GiW, stupid anti-ghost tech around the morgue.

It had only been a few days, and yet to Danny it felt like it had been a year. The fact that he had managed to go to school at all today he considered a huge accomplishment. Even if he hadn’t even managed to open his notebook in any of his classes, much less remember if he’d been assigned detention or not for missing homework. Knowing him, he probably had.

But that didn’t matter to him. Not now, and possibly not ever again.

His future was one bad day away from being over. By the end of the week, he could be property of the US government. What would Shakespear or the quadratic formula matter to him then? If he was strapped to a lab table for the rest of his half-life?

Mr. Lancer called out to him, but Danny didn’t respond. He felt a hand dully poke his shoulder, and he felt the weight of everyone’s eyes on him, but he couldn’t look up from his desk, he couldn’t open his book, he couldn’t do this.

His body moved on its own. Standing up, walking out of the classroom, ignoring the protests of his teacher or the laughter of his classmates.

He couldn’t do this.

School didn’t matter. The only thing that mattered was ensuring his safety, and to do that he needed to get his body back.

He pushed a side door open, transforming nearly as soon as he stepped out the door. He felt the tug at his core, and he followed his instincts to a brick building not too far from the police station.

There. That must have been the morgue.

That was where his body was.

He landed, and stared at the entrance of the brick building. He wanted to step forward, to reach out and rip open the doors. He wanted so badly to fly through, take his body, and go home.

But he could see it. It was invisible to him in his human form, but there was a faint ripple around the building.

And there was his problem. The building was locked to those who didn’t have a keycard access, so Danny couldn’t just walk in as a human, but he couldn’t phase in due to the ghost shield around the building.

Which meant that he had to stand outside and wait for someone to let him in. Which was never going to happen.

He crossed his arms, glaring at the brick building. He could try to destroy the outside of the building, thus hopefully destroying the shield, but that could potentially endanger the people inside.

Not to mention his body. If the building fell, he could harm his body. Which he would rather die again than let that happen.

His core tugged impatiently, desperate for Danny to reunite with his other half. But he couldn’t.

It was impossible.

A car pulled up behind him, but Phantom didn’t pay it any mind. He stood, staring at the building. He needed to figure out a way inside. If he could only get inside then he could solve everything.

“Phantom?” a familiar voice called out from behind him.

Danny ignored the voice. No one else mattered, he just needed to get inside.

“Phantom, I need you to step away from the building,” the voice said.

Danny shushed the voice, glaring at the door.

He was so close and now someone was going to ruin it for him. He was just one stupid shield away. If he turned human and phased through the door, the shield would clock him the moment he activated his powers.

No, this was no good.

“Come on, Phantom. Don’t make this harder than it has to be,” a second familiar voice piped up.

“I need to get inside,” Danny finally said.

“No you don’t. Trust me, you need to step away from the building.”

Danny ignored the voice. It was so annoying. It didn’t understand what he needed. “I have something inside. I need it back.”

“I know, bud,” the original voice said. “But I can’t let you get inside. You know this.”

“Why not?” Phantom finally turned around to be faced with the two cops from the other day. To his surprise, neither of them had their weapons raised. “Why not let me inside? It’s my body. Mine. Not yours.”

“This is an investigation,” the older cop, Crowley, said.

Danny narrowed his eyes, allowing the glow to flair. “I didn’t ask to be investigated.”

The younger cop, Johnson, nodded. “I know, but we have to. I know you don’t understand, but it’s our duty to investigate all missing kids, including you.”

Danny glanced back to the building. If he could only find a way inside, he could just forget these past few days had ever happened. He could forget about the cops, he could forget about the stupid investigation, the fact that the GIW would likely find out he’s a halfa, the increasing possibility of him becoming a lab experiment, all of it.

If he could just get inside.

“Why don’t you come back to the station with us. We can talk more there and you can tell us why you don’t want to be found. Look, no guns and no cuffs this time. It’s up to you. If you want to talk, it’s on your terms,” Johnson said.

“It’s not,” Danny whispered. “It’s not my terms. None of this is my terms.” He glared back at the officers, his voice getting louder. “Why won’t you take the hint? Just stop all of this. Stop investigating, stop sticking your nose in other people’s business. Let me have my body back, please, just let me see it just for a moment. I just—I...I need to see it. I need it.”

Crowley shook his head. “No can do. Sorry, Phantom.”

“This is stupid. This is so fucking—ugh!” Danny threaded his fingers through his hair. “I can’t do this.”

“Wait—”

Danny didn’t wait for Johnson to finish his statement. He shot to the sky, trying to ignore the stinging in his eyes. It was just the crisp air against his face, wasn’t it? He wasn’t getting emotional over this.

That would be ridiculous. He wasn’t helpless, he was going to figure this out. He’d gotten himself in this predicament, he could get himself out of it.

He just needed to figure out a way into the building. Then he could get his body back, he could hide it somewhere far away, somewhere nobody would ever find it, and then everything could go back to the way it was.

That was it. He could do this.

Right?

---

Mark studied the files slack-jawed.

There was just no way this was possible. Even with Amity Park’s high concentration of ghosts, he’d never seen anything like this before.

“They ran them again?” Mark said, looking up at Crowley. “They ran them again and they still got this?”

“Yup.” Crowley’s typical lackadaisical expression was replaced with something more hard-set. “Labs re-ran all tests and still got nothing but errors.”

“But I don’t understand. How is this possible?” Mark held up the lab results in his hands. “How is it that every single molecule of Phantom’s human body was covered in ectoplasm? Right down to the DNA?”

Crowley leaned against the wall. “In all my years as a detective, this is a first for me.”

“It must be someone working for him, right?” Mark said. “The science doesn’t lie.”

“No, indeed the science doesn’t lie,” Williams said, rounding the corner of the station. He placed a manila folder and a coffee mug down on the empty conference table and offered them a cheerful grin. “Interesting reports, eh?”

“Please tell me you’re here to explain these,” Mark said, raising the files in his hand.

“Yeah.” Crowley stroked his silver mustache. “I’d certainly like to know what exactly is so interesting about corrupted DNA reports.”

“We can’t even ID the victim with these.”

Williams’ smile grew, and his face crinkled in delight. “See, that’s where you’re wrong! Now, we might not be able to ID the human body that this boy once inhabited, but at the very least we can officially confirm that it’s Phantom’s body.”

“Explain,” Crowley said.

Williams opened the manila folder and began shuffling through the papers inside. “There was a substance in particular that was messing up all the lab results, so forensics investigated further and found that it was ectoplasm. And when they tried to remove it to isolate only the organic material they found that they couldn’t.”

“How?” Mark asked.

“Because the ectoplasm had fused with the body’s DNA.” Williams lifted a piece of paper like a proud parent showing off their child’s report card. “I got some more samples and had forensics run tests on all different body parts, and found that every single cell had its own DNA corrupted with ectoplasm. And when we ran the ectosignature through the database, we found an exact match to Phantom’s own ectosignature.”

“So this was really Phantom.” Crowley didn’t sound surprised by the revelation.

“Bingo,” Williams said.

“But this doesn’t really make sense,” Mark insisted. “If this level of DNA corruption happened during ghost formation, surely we would have records of other bodies like this as well.”

Williams tapped his head with his finger. “Maybe we do, and we just don’t know. Phantom is a powerful ghost, is he not? Perhaps this DNA corruption can only occur in powerful ghost formations, and perhaps Phantom is the first powerful ghost with a body we’ve found and have been able to run our equipment on in modern times.”

“Maybe…” Mark’s voice drifted. He wasn’t sure if it was something Sarah Abrams had said to him on the phone, but he felt like there was a large piece of the puzzle he was missing.

He sighed, placing his manila folder down on the table. “I think it’s time to call in the experts.”

Crowley stared at him, his typically crinkled eyes widening to that of a bug. “You don’t mean…”

“Yup,” Mark said. “It’s time to bring in the Fentons.”

Day 2 - Wings

I wrote a little ficlet all about our favorite dragon boy’s wings for COC Day 2! I’ve rated it M, but it’s no more adult than canon. Not actual smut (yet... stay tuned for the rest of the countdown lol). Check it out below, or here on ao3.

***

Baz

Simon is practically vibrating. I can feel him jiggling his knee through the frame of the car. It’s late; after eleven, so there’s hardly anyone else on the road tonight. We’re on our way out of the city, to a wooded area where I can hunt, and Simon can fly. We try to come out here whenever we can, but it’s harder to set aside the time than I expected. More to the point, it’s difficult to get off the sofa after a long day of classes, mostly because Simon insists on sitting behind me and wrapping his arms and wings around me while I read. Bracketed between his thighs, with my back pressed up against his chest, it feels like being blanketed in love and warmth. He’ll tuck his face into my neck, resting his cheek on my shoulder, and I can feel his breathing slow as he relaxes. It’s bliss.

Tonight I reluctantly managed to haul us both off the sofa. I didn’t hunt on my way home from class, and I knew I’d feel terrible in the morning if I didn’t go. Naturally, Simon wanted to come with me (he nearly always does), so I suggested we take a drive instead of my usual jaunt to one of the nearby alleyways. Simon lit up, already folding his wings in tight and grabbing his jacket.

“Brilliant idea, I need some fresh air,” he said happily, stepping into his trainers without undoing them and moving towards the front door.

“Hang on, love, aren’t you forgetting something?” I teased, reaching out to grab his tail.

He rolled his eyes and pulled the tail in, and I felt it slide through my fingers, warm and smooth. Simon wrapped it around his waist carelessly and tugged his jacket over it.

“There, can we go now?” he asked eagerly.

“Am I allowed to put my shoes on first?” I shot back, raising an eyebrow.

He snorted and opened the door.

“Meet you by the car!”

Cool air rushes in and pulls me back to the present as Simon opens the window, leaning his head out and taking a deep breath. He’s smiling, which makes me smile like a lovesick idiot. Whatever, I am a lovesick idiot. I pull off the road onto an unpaved lane; well, it’s more like a slight break in the trees, hardly wide enough for a car. It may have been used for surveying at some point, I don’t know. Regardless, it’s a good spot to park the car out of sight, and Simon has his seatbelt off and the door flung open before I’ve even fully stopped. He shrugs out of his jacket, and I feel a grin tugging at the corners of my mouth. I bite it back as I step out to join him.

“Honestly, Snow, you’re like a puppy going to the park,” I snark.

Simon whirls around and moves to my side of the car in a few quick steps. He pins me against the door, his hands reaching past my shoulders and caging me in as he leans in close. Our noses are nearly touching.

“You love it,” he whispers, and I close my eyes, lips parting as I lean forward to close the gap—

I nearly stumble forward as Simon pulls back rapidly, flinging himself towards the treeline as his wings beat powerfully, lifting him into the air. He’s laughing like a fool.

“Not funny, Snow!” I grouse.

He probably can’t even hear me; his hearing isn't the best even when he’s not shooting through the air. I watch him gain altitude for a minute, rising over the treetops, and I feel the familiar twist of anxiety in my stomach. I can’t hide Simon when he’s flying like I used to; my spells just bounce off him uselessly. It’s unlikely that anyone would see him all the way out here, especially at this time of night, but I can’t help but worry about it. I know Simon does too; he’s always careful to stay low and close to the treetops, and he never flies across roads or open fields. I sigh deeply, trying to focus on the task at hand. I need to hunt. I inhale again, slowly this time, listening hard, until… there. I move silently into the trees.

Simon

I’m soaring over the treetops, just gliding on a warm current of air and enjoying the gentle burn in my muscles from lifting off the ground. It’s quite good cardio, flying, and if I don’t do it for a while, I get tired out quickly. Tonight I feel like I could go for hours. The moon peeks out from behind the clouds, and I can see a few stars as well. They feel closer when I’m flying, like I could reach out and touch them.

This. This right here is why I’m keeping the wings. It’s not something I consciously decided, but when I get up here, I just know: I can’t give this up. The wind gusts, and I flap harder, twisting and turning on the turbulent air. I haven’t told Baz yet; haven’t told anyone that I’m going to keep them, but I am. He hasn’t asked, but I know he likes them. I’ve absolutely no idea why, but I can see his eyes darken when my wings flare out above me when I’m hovering over him, touching him, kissing him, letting him touch me back… I shake my head and concentrate on dropping a little lower, closer to the treetops. Sometimes, it feels like there are too many things in my head, and there’s no room for everything, so it gets overwhelming and crowded, and I just want to curl up in a ball and be left alone. I never feel that way when I’m flying; it’s like I leave all the bullshit behind me on the ground, and I can finally think clearly as I lift into the air. It’s part of why I can’t give them up… though I suppose I could keep the wings and just get rid of the tail, but it’s possible that Baz likes my tail even more than he likes my wings, and I start to blush just thinking about how it feels when he wraps his strong hands around it, pulling me in, keeping me close— I swerve gracelessly to avoid a particularly tall fir tree, nearly tumbling out of the air. I have to stop thinking about this while I’m flying; it’s becoming a hazard.

I should probably circle back anyway. It’s been a while, and Baz is usually fairly quick when he’s hunting. He lets me watch now, whenever I want, and I feel slightly disappointed that I was too eager to fly to stick around and stay with him tonight. I tilt to one side, wheeling through the air as I head back towards the car, keeping my eyes peeled for Baz amongst the tree trunks below me. It’s bloody hard to spot him most nights, because he usually wears dark clothes and blends right into the forest floor. I see him easily enough tonight though; he’s leaning against a massive elm tree not far from where we parked. His pale face is tilted up towards the sky, and I know he can see me as I swoop down towards him. I land heavily in front of him, sliding a bit on the fallen leaves, and he laughs softly.

“Oi, what’s so funny?” I demand, putting my hands on my hips.

Baz’s face drops, and I can tell he’s worried he’s actually upset me. I stride over to him and pull him close, clasping my hands behind his lower back as my tail helpfully wraps itself around his wrist. I smile, and Baz’s mouth lifts just a little in response.

“Only kidding, I know I look like a bloody wanker when I don’t stick the landing,” I tell him.

Baz shakes his head. He’s so close that I can feel his breath against my lips when he speaks.

“That’s not what I was thinking,” he says quietly.

I’m about to ask him what he was thinking, but he distracts me very effectively by pressing his lips to mine. I try to deepen the kiss, and he starts to pull back.

“Simon, I haven’t rinsed my mouth out—” he starts.

“Don’t care,” I mutter, pressing my face into his.

I pull on Baz’s lower lip gently, and I feel him give in, his body sagging forward into mine.

It’s quite some time before he pulls back again, sucking in a breath through his teeth as he rests his forehead against mine, cupping my face in his cold hands.

“I suppose it’s better than when I’ve been drinking fucking rats,” he mutters.

I grin.

“What’d you catch then?” I ask brightly.

Baz groans. He hates how much I enjoy watching him hunt. And talking about him hunting. And thinking about it.

“Deer, and a rabbit earlier as well,” he tells me, trying to pull away.

My tail snakes around his waist, keeping him close to me, and I feel him shiver minutely.

“Good. I’m glad you fed,” I tell him honestly, tipping my chin down to catch his eyes as he tries to look down at our shoes instead.

Baz rolls his eyes. Tosser. I suddenly have an idea, and I’m not sure if it’s brilliant or absolutely mental, but I don’t want to stop and figure it out.

“You trust me, right babe?” I ask.

“Yes,” Baz says distrustfully, raising that bloody eyebrow of his at me suspiciously.

“Alright, I promise I won’t drop you,” I tell him.

“Drop me? Simon—”

Baz cuts himself off with a shriek as I sweep an arm under his knees, lifting him bridal-style. His hands, which had been resting on my shoulders, tighten into a death grip around my neck. It’s a bit painful, honestly; Baz is strong. I pause.

“I’m going to fly now,” I tell him, “but I won’t if you really don’t want me to.”

“I…” Baz looks torn. “Alright,” he says, still looking worried.

I grin, and tighten my arms (and tail) around him as I beat my wings to lift us off the ground. It’s actually quite a bit more difficult with Baz in my arms, and I grunt with the effort. Baz has his face buried in my chest and his hands locked together behind my neck. Eventually, I’ve gained enough altitude that I can stop working so hard to lift us and just go with the wind. I’m breathing hard, but it’s worth it. The clouds have broken, and the moon is bright and nearly full up above the treetops.

“Baz, look,” I pant.

He shakes his head slightly, his nose still pressed against my collarbone.

“C’mon,” I try again, and I feel him lift his head.

He gasps.

“Simon…”

“I know,” I grin.

I fly us over the treetops, and Baz’s hair tickles my neck as the wind whips through it. He’s laughing, and it’s the most beautiful sound, and I know I’ve gotten this right.

After a few more minutes though, my muscles are aching dangerously, and I know I have to take us back towards the car. I find a spot between the trees that’s wide enough to land, and try to carefully bring us back down to the ground. My breathing is ragged now, and I’m sweating with the effort of holding Baz up and trying to land gently. We’re about six feet off the ground when Baz taps my shoulder urgently.

“Let go of me, Snow.”

“What? I’m not going to drop you!”

“We’re barely in the air, just let go,” he insists, and I growl in exasperation.

“Fine! I’m letting go now,” I say, and I do.

Baz drops to the ground and rolls immediately, somehow managing to make it look graceful. I misjudge the distance, suddenly feeling too light, and stumble as I hit the ground, landing on my arse in the soggy leaves.

“Oof!”

Baz is there in an instant, leaning over me and holding out his hands. “Simon? Simon, are you alright?”

I look up at him from the ground for a moment, stunned, then I reach out and take his hands. I pull my elbows in suddenly, and Baz falls, sprawling over me and very nearly kneeing me in the stomach.

“Snow, you fucking lunatic!” Baz spits, but he’s laughing, and I start laughing, and then the two of us are just lying on the ground in the middle of the forest, giggling like idiots.

Baz

We managed to get ourselves home, even though we’re both filthy and damp from rolling around on the ground. I need a shower and a cup of tea immediately, and I tell Simon so as we climb the stairs to our flat.

“I’ll make the tea, you jump in the shower, babe,” he tells me over his shoulder as he opens our door, kicking off his dirty trainers haphazardly.

I don’t argue, and I head to the bathroom and run the water as hot as I can stand it. I feel chilled down to my bones. When I get out, Simon is sitting on our bed in a pair of pajama pants, sipping a cup of tea. Another mug is sitting on the bedside table, still steaming.

“Mmmm,” I hum, sinking onto the bed beside him and picking up my tea.

I can feel the warmth sinking into my fingers as I take the first sip. It’s perfect.

“Good?” Simon asks.

“Yeah, so good,” I tell him, smiling.

Simon smiles too, then he sets down his mug and sits up straighter, rolling his shoulders and pulling one arm across his chest, stretching it out. His wings shudder.

“Alright, Snow?” I ask.

“Yeah, yeah. I’ve just never flown with anyone when it wasn’t an emergency before,” he says. “It’s a bit of a workout. Not because you’re heavy!” he adds quickly, starting to blush.

I just raise my eyebrow at him. Simon climbs off the bed.

“I’ll just take a paracetamol,” he mumbles, moving towards the bathroom.

We keep things like that in the flat now— Normal medications�� because I can’t just heal Simon’s aches and pains with magic anymore. Simon is back a moment later, flinging himself face down onto the bed with a sigh. I look at him and bite my lip, considering.

“Would you… like a massage?” I ask after a brief deliberation.

Simon lifts his face from where it’s buried in his pillow.

“Really?”

I nod, and Simon gives me a dazzling grin before letting his head fall back down to the pillow.

“Can I— I mean, do you want me to touch your wings?” I ask.

Simon pauses.

“Mmhmm,” he hums into his pillowcase.

I take a bottle of moisturizer from the drawer in my bedside table. I like to use it after I shower. Rubbing a bit between my hands, I suddenly wish I was warmer. Oh well, nothing I can do about that.

“It might be a bit cold to start,” I tell Simon apologetically.

He lifts a hand and gives me a thumbs up without even bothering to lift his head. I sit up on my knees and place my hands on his shoulders, running my fingers down towards the joints where his wings meet his back. I try to keep a firm, even pressure, but it’s awkward leaning over him from the side like this.

“Simon, I’m going to sit on you so I can reach, ok?” I tell him.

He nods, so I carefully sling one leg over his back, slotting my knees under his wings on either side. If I sit back, I’ll be sitting directly on Simon’s arse, and I try not to think about that too hard as I press into my hands again. This is much better, and I dig the heels of my hands into Simon’s shoulder blades, feeling the tension in his muscles give way. I knead his shoulders and back for several minutes, trying to work over each area methodically. Eventually, I move to the base of his wings, pressing my thumbs into the place where his skin gives way to warm, red scales. Simon moans, deep in his chest, and I feel the vibrations of it in my thighs on either side of his back. I breathe slowly through my nose and remind myself that this is about Simon. He has a complicated enough relationship with his extra appendages without my bizarre fetishizing.

Keep it in your pants, Basil, I tell myself firmly.

I move slowly up Simon’s wings, focusing on the places where they bend and easing off the pressure over the more delicate bones and webbing. His wings are so warm, even warmer than the rest of him, and Simon keeps making little sounds of pleasure and contentment beneath me. I try to concentrate on the task at hand, but my distraction is rapidly becoming more and more obvious, so I shift back and move to climb off of Simon. His hand reaches back and grabs my thigh, just as his tail wraps itself securely around my waist. He lifts his head, trying and failing to look back over his shoulder at me.

“Baz,” he breathes, “do you like touching my wings like that?”

I swallow hard.

“Yes,” I admit.

“Well good, because it feels bloody incredible.”

“I’m glad,” I say weakly, and Simon laughs.

Then, he arches his back and pushes his arse into me, his tail holding me tightly to him. I hear him inhale sharply when he feels how hard I am, and I swallow again.

“Simon, we don’t have to... I know you don’t—”

“They turn you on, don’t they,” Simon interrupts, his wings flaring out on either side of me.

“Yes,” I whisper, covering my face with my hands.

I feel his tail wrap itself around my wrist sinuously, pulling my hand down.

“Show me.”

~Platonic Yandere!Axis x Country!Reader~

✨How could I decline when you asked so nicely✨

~~~

~Germany~

-When you go to Ludwig asking for help becoming stronger, he tries his best to help you (even though he's a bit awkward in doing so at times.)

-He started inviting you to work out with Japan and Italy, though he gives you slightly harder workouts then them.

-He always says that it's necessary to help you become stronger (though you swear that the extra minute he added when y'all were doing planks wasn't needed).

-He fears that if he isn't harsh with Your workouts that you won't be able to defend yourself against other nations or if someone was to attack you, and you could feel and that scares him to no end.

-Though he makes up for the workouts by helping you with your everyday life.

-Whether it be moving some of your furniture around in your office, taking care of your pets for you while your away on business meetings (totally doesn't give your pets two treats when you said to give one), organizing papers or just helping you get out of your office when youve spent the last week in it, sending a text to see if you were ok when you miss a meeting, and genuinely cares about your well being (asking you if you've eaten enough or had a good nights rest).

-He honestly just wants the best for you.

~~~

~North Italy~

-work? What's that? By Venezianos standards you've been work too much!

-Veneziano is the guy to physically DrAg you out of your office to accompany him in, just whatever has gotten his attention!

-And how can you say no when he gives you the absolute Cutest puppy dog eyes you've ever seen.

-One day y'all would be painting each other in the park, or going to a wine tasting festival, or just driving ("speed limits, who she?) in his car with the hood down and probably speeding just because their was a sale that ended in 10 minutes and y'all just HaD to go to!

-It's like all your worries go away when your with him, why would you ever leave his side!

-Hes always been the flirty type and that just goes to the max when he's with you. Always complementing you on your outfit, noticing the little details about yourself, like the new pair of shoes you wore that day, if you painted your nails, and even if you changed/started wearing perfumes.

-Why would you ever hang out with anyone else! He's so fun to hang out with that you can’t imagine being away from him!

~~~

~Japan~

-You'd never have guessed you've would have become such good friends with the quiet country of Japan.

-You two first met when you accidentally walked into him with a bunch of papers causing them to fly everywhere. Your embarrassment only increased ten folds when he started to help you even though you told him it was fine.

-After that you started to notice him more and more in world meetings, guess you didn't really pay attention to the people around you or you just needed new eyes.

-You didn't really know how to start a conversation with him since he seemed so closed off from everyone.

-But when you were sitting outside an ice cream pallor in one of your major cities, you happen to notice Kiku taking a picture of your national flowers that were displayed! You almost scared him so much when you came up behind him that he almost dropped his camera on the ground!

-You decided to give him a proper tour of the city since who could do it better then the country themselves!

-You ended up breaking the ice between the two of you and Kiku started to warm up durring the tour.

-Talking about hobby's and about why he chose to visit your country, it was just a fun evening for the two of you with him promising to give you a tour of one of his cities in the future!

-The two of you became closer then ever with him putting cute Polaroid pictures on your seat at meetings.

-After time passed you started to see your friends less and less with your time being taken up with Kiku wanting to take you to see some more landmarks at his home.

-When was the last time you hanged out with one of your friends again?

~~~

~Romano~

-You couldn't tell if he hated you or liked you? It was hard for you to even tell at this point.

-Whenever you tried to talk to him he alway brushed you off or ignored you completely.

-You didn't remember saying anything mean to him when you tried talking to him, and it didn't matter if you tried to be extra nice when you talked to him either. He always got mad at you for some little reason that didn't make any sense to you.

-And then he would just turn around and get angry and call you an idiot for caring large boxes around, and so he had to take his precious time to carry them for you. But then he flipped out when it was Frances boxes that you were helping him out with, now he was yelling and calling you both idiots.

-It was confusing to say the least.

-His bipolar attitude was starting to tire you out to the point were you couldn't even deal with him anymore.

-Then it seemed like he was genuenly hurt when you actively started ignoring him in meetings, like he hasn't done that to you.

-You just can't understand him and you're Sure he doesn't understand you either.

~~~

~Prussia~

-Now meet the master of running off and probably doing something illegal.

-Your first met the trouble maker when you asked him were his brother was, he asked you why and you said you wanted to start working out with the axis. He then loudly exclaimed that he would be a better trainer for you then his brother could be!

-So you started to work out with him instead and god if you though Germanys workouts were harsh. you have N O idea.

-When your done with your daily hour training with him you practically can't feel any of your muscles! He'll force you to train with him on weekends too, and he means it when he says your showing up to train.

-If your not hospitalized, ill or aliens have landed on earth, then theres training to be done!

-Don't even get me started on when he caught you eating a piece of cake and screamed "That's thirty more push-ups at tomorrow's practice C/N!!"

-Sundays and Thrusdays are the only says that you get off and you mostly spend your training time sleeping or doing paper work.

-You can't even recall the horror you showed when he said that you should train with him for two hours a day and if you needed to do work you could workout AND do work at the same time (Just imagining having to go a 3 minute plank while having to sign off official papers left you with nightmares, and that's excluding Prussia screaming in your ear)!

-But you do have to give him credit that the hell he puts you through shows in how your muscles have become more difined, much to your surprise.

-He does make up for the Harsh treatment he does to you by showing you with praise and taking you out to eat afterwards.

-Though it seems like the more time you spend or talk with your friends, he always just adds a little more in your workouts (much to your horror) .

-You still don't know why he doesn't like your friends that much and wants you to spend more time with him at practice.

Of Walls and Wonderlands

College! Kim Seungmin X fem! reader, Imperium Universe

1.8k words, Fluff, College! AU, Friends to (future)lovers

A/N: Soft Uni Seungmin was so difficult to write though?? I really hope I caught his aura right >.< ONTO THE FIC!! Do send me feedback, I’d love to hear what you think of this ficc >.<

Imperium Universe || Jisung ||Seungmin || Chan || Lee Know ||

If anybody had told you a year ago that you’d be dating a guitar-playing, puppy-eyed law student with a sharp tongue, you’d have laughed in their face and brushed them off. You weren’t the type to date- you weren’t the type for romance at all.

Growing up as the youngest sibling in a family full of talent and outspoken opinions, you’d built a wall around yourself very early on to protect your own smaller, more personal sentiments. It was possible that very wall that left you a closed-off, almost intimidating air that made people think twice about approaching you. You didn’t mind it, really. It was peaceful, within those walls, an isolated wonderland that nobody could ruin for you.

That is until a certain Kim Seungmin came along. It was almost easy, falling for him; Seungmin was the kind of boy that anybody could end up falling for. You didn’t expect your feelings for him to be returned, of course. You knew how you were- cold, prickly, almost unpleasant, a complete opposite to his warm, open self.

Surprisingly enough, that wasn’t the case.

You first saw Seungmin at Imperium, the bar closest to your campus. Imperium, however, served a completely different purpose to those who knew of it: It was an entrance to the heart of the underground fight club network in your city. And you just so happened to be one of its’ sweethearts.

Minor fact about you:

You were a kickboxer. A good one at that.

You had a knack for it, the way your siblings had a knack for writing or dancing. When one of your gym trainers introduced you to the underground fight scene the summer after high school, you didn’t hesitate for a second before agreeing to join. Now halfway through university, you and your best friend were two of the best fighters the Imperium fight club had.

Changbin, your gym trainer, had told you to scope out competition for the new season, which was why you were at the club despite not having fights that day. The two of you had hung around a corner of the basement, talking to acquaintances, until Changbin asked you if you wanted to meet some of his friends.

Your hesitant agreement had him leading you to a rowdy group of 4 guys, who seemed more than happy to meet one of the club’s fighters. They introduced themselves one by one- you even recognized Hyunjin, the cheeky blonde bookie that loved to take your best friend’s bets before her fights.

Seungmin was true to his words, he really was a simple guy. You spoke throughout the evening, a rarity for you. He was a law major, the same year as you, a bathroom singer and an ardent DAY6 fan. He was unconstrained with his smiles and open with his opinions, razor-sharp with his wit and dry with his humour. It was so easy to talk to him, even for you- the kind of person who wasn’t much for small talk.

The last boy that spoke caught your eye. He was a little taller than the other guys, eyes a sparkling brown even in the harsh lighting of the basement. “Hi, I’m Seungmin,” His voice was soft, melodic, almost. You nodded slightly at the boys, a small smile slipping across your face as you introduced yourself.

“Oh, I know you,” exclaimed Minho, one of the other guys. “Aren’t you the one that won the rookie championship last year?” The rest of the boys regarded you with renewed curiosity, looks that you were used to. A girl in the circuit was still rare, much less a championship winner.

“Yeah.”

You spent the rest of the evening with the boys, mostly because you were intrigued by the boy called Seungmin. He kept up an easy conversation with you, calming despite the clamor and rage ripping across the basement after the fight slots began.

“This doesn’t seem like your kind of scene.”

He smiled at your comment, a show of pearly teeth and cosy warmth. “It isn’t. I got dragged here because Hyunjin thought I was spending too long with my textbooks.”

“So what is your kinda scene?” You were surprised at yourself, you never took the effort of keeping up a conversation like this- but Seungmin made you curious, you had to find out more.

“I’m a simple guy, really,” He laughed- he was cute, you thought. Really, really cute.

“You get me ice cream good music and good company, I’m yours.”

When the night winded down, he shyly asked to exchange numbers with you after insisting on walking you home. How could you not agree, especially with the way he looked at you, curious and admiring?

Your friendship with Seungmin progressed quickly- You met up a lot, explored cafes and had impromptu midnight grocery runs together. He was fun, almost puppy-like in his enthusiasm, his vibe so alluring that you ended up buying into it too. There was a lot of banter between both of you, effortlessly silly and extremely witty. Seungmin was the type to hound you with random tidbits of trivia, things you wondered why he even knew of. But it was so... So characteristic of him that you just found it endearing. Even his sharp, acerbic wit. Especially his sharp, acerbic wit.

Seungmin left you with warm cheeks and a wide smile, he felt like the kind of person you didn’t have to keep your walls up around. It felt nice, suddenly, to have somebody who could live in your wonderland with you and not judge you one bit.

The months passed faster with Seungmin, like a whirlwind of strawberry smoothies and fried chicken. There was an almost magnetic aura around him- maybe it was his charming boy-next-door smile or the way he carried himself, looking almost small, diminutive in stature despite his frame bordering on lanky. Over the months, you’d realized that maybe you enjoyed your time with Seungmin way more than you thought you would, maybe you had a little bit of a crush on him, maybe you’d wanted to peck his pretty lips more than one time before…

When he asked you to join him on a movie night with his roommates, you couldn’t refuse. Turned out, Jisung and his girlfriend enjoyed your company so much that you became a constant addition to their movie nights. So you found yourself frequenting Seungmin’s quaint, well-organized apartment every Saturday with assorted junk food, and the quiet excitement of meeting Seungmin again.

He turned up at one of your kickboxing sessions one day, watching in pure awe as Changbin took you through the motions of training for the new season. After asking if you were okay with him dropping by, he made it a point to turn up as often as possible, his guitar slung across his back. “You’re so good at this,” he’d say every time Changbin allowed you a break. Your heart would flutter a little every time, leaving you slightly flustered and warm in the face.

After you were done, he’d walk you home, sometimes pulling you into the park on the way and playing songs for you on the guitar.

“Holy fucking shit.” Seungmin’s reaction to your slightly battered frame was instantaneous, grabbing you gently by the shoulders and ushering you into his apartment. “It’s not that bad, I just need a few bandaids.” You protested, hissing softly at the sting that your split lip brought when you spoke. Seungmin scanned your frame quickly, marking the spots on your body that you seemed to carry heavy or marked with specks of blood.

A heavy silence weighed down on the room, a silence which demanded you break. “Sorry I had to disturb,” your voice came out smaller than you expected. “I got jumped a few blocks away from here, and this was the first safe place I could think of.”

His roommates took in your state from their perch on the kitchen counter, Jisung’s eyes wide in alarm. His girlfriend(and Seungmin’s third roommate) hopped off the counter, hurrying towards you and Seungmin.

“Min, you know where the first aid kit is, right?” She asked, taking your hand as she gently pulled you towards her room. “Get it to the kitchen, I’ll get Y/N a change of clothes.”

Soon enough, you were sat on Jisung’s previous perch on the kitchen counter, Seungmin giving you a stern once over as he tended to your injuries. Jisung and his girlfriend seemed to have retreated into one of the bedrooms, possibly to give you and Seungmin some space.

“What happened, darling?” He asked softly, knelt in front you as he dabbed antiseptic onto your knee. “One of the guys I beat last week wanted revenge,” you sighed, swallowing a hiss at the sting. “so he decided to jump me with some buddies.” You tried really hard to ignore the new nickname- a nickname you liked very much when he used it.

Seungmin’s head shot up, eyes flashing in incredulity. “Isn’t that against the rules?!” He asked, temporarily abandoning his ministrations. “Yeah, I’ll make a report tomorrow, he’ll probably get booted for this.” you shrugged.

“He probably wasn’t expecting me to be able to talk after? I don’t know.”

You’d never seen that dark look flash across your sweet boyfriend’s eyes before. “That sick bastard.” He never swore, your warm Seungmin.

“It’s okay, Min,” you murmured, running your fingers through his hair.

“I know it’s okay,” Seungmin said, standing up to focus on the injuries on your face and collar. “You enjoy kickboxing way too much to be fazed by something like this, I know you can take care of yourself, it’s just...”

He sighed, leaning closer to you as he checked on your split lip. “It scares me a little every time you end up hurt.”You could see the sprinkle of a blush heating up his cheekbones as he spoke the words, still focused on your lip. You couldn’t help it, a smile spread across your face, broad and unrestrained. Seungmin stopped and stepped back, his eyes wide with wonder. “You’re so beautiful…” the words left his mouth before he could stop them, and a rush of heat gave you a blush that mirrored Seungmin’s own.

“I- um-”

“That’s probably the first time I’ve ever seen you flustered,” he observed, a lopsided smile on his face. You returned his grin as much as you could without jostling your lip too much. Something had switched in the energy between you at his compliment, there was warm electricity where there was usually cool and easy banter.

It was new, unfamiliar, but strangely enough, you didn’t hate it.

“You should stay here for the night,” Seungmin offered, still in the soft voice he’d used before. “I’d end up worrying about you all night if you went home like this.”

“Okay.”

And that was how Jisung found the two of you next morning cuddled on the couch, Seungmin holding you with your head nuzzled into his neck, lost to the world. Even in sleep, Seungmin was careful of your newly acquired injuries, hands light around your waist and softly tangled in your hair.

It was warm in your wonderland, and it was all because of Seungmin.

bre boys and picking their kid up early from school cause they’re “sick”

Billy Russo: Billy takes your kid to Anvil. They sit and play and hang out with Billy and the trainers. It’s super cute because he lets them sit at his desk and when he’s on the phone, he has your kid in his lap, who listens intently and takes notes. Billy doesn’t make them do any of their schoolwork that day, instead, they just hang out until it’s time to go home. They pick up a pizza for dinner on the way back to the house, and surprise you with ice cream as well.

Logan Delos: “Daddy, I’m sick.” “Are you really sick or do you just not want to be at school today?” “...the second one.” “Okay, sweetheart, I’m on my way.” Logan drops everything and gets your kid, no question about it. They just go home and hang out, watching Disney movies and snacking, and Logan will sit and listen as your kid talks about school and their teachers and classmates. The next day, when they’re getting up in the morning, they’re more than ready to start the day now that they had a chance to recharge with Dad.

Jax Teller: Jax knows how much your kid loves when he shows up on his bike, so that’s what he does. They go to the clubhouse, and Jax will have Gemma make them lunch, and then your kid will get an extra big work shirt from the back and work with Jax in the garage, handing him tools and keeping him company. If the job is too big for a kid, Jax will have them read a storybook outloud to him and whoever else is working. And even though they’re not in school that day, your kid still learns alot.

Coco Cruz: The first thing Coco does after picking your kid up is get them something sweet: ice cream, cookies, brownies--they get to pick. Then they go home and just hang out, playing video games and watching TV. If they have to go to the clubhouse (which your kid LOVES), they have no shortage of fun things to do. Your kid particularly likes going in the cage and “fighting” Uncle Angel, who always dramatically loses. They usually end up falling asleep in the back, and Coco gently wakes them up and takes them home.

Angel Reyes: Angel doesn’t always have his phone on him, but EZ does, and since he and Felipe are your kid’s emergency contacts at school, one of them usually has to tell Angel the school called. Angel loves when your kid wants to leave school early because that means they can hang out all day. He takes them to the clubhouse and they sit on everyone’s motorcycle and pretend to ride while Angel works. Rumor has it that even Bishop indulges your kid, and he lets them play with the gavel! Angel loves having your kid with him, and would do this every day if not for, you know...school. Summers are lit, though!

Miguel Galindo: Miguel sends Nestor to pick up your kid if he himself can’t do it at the moment. But once the kid is with him, Miguel is dropping everything. He’s playing with toys, he’s watching terrible cartoons, he’s ordering chicken tenders and fries--whatever they want to do, Miguel is doing it. If he absolutely can’t get out of work for a while, he’ll make a little section in his office for your kid to play or read or watch TV until Miguel is free again. He commissions a child size desk for them, and they “do business” together whenever your kid stays home with Dad.

Nick Amaro: Nick will take your kid around the city, showing them the sights and stopping to get food when they get hungry. If there’s time, he’ll either take them to a park and play or to a museum, where they walk around holding hands. Nick refuses to take your kid to work with him unless he’s just running in to grab something, so they avoid his precinct and usually find something fun to do in the city. They go home and cuddle on the couch, watching movies and talking, until you get home from work.

Johnny Tuturro: Most of the time, Johnny will take your kid to the beach. They build/destroy sandcastles, surf, swim, walk the pier--everything. If the weather is bad, then they’ll go home and play video games and snack. Johnny wholeheartedly believes in mental health days, and he makes sure to talk with them about school and give them any advice or encouragement they may need. He also makes them his special pancakes, no matter what time of day it is, and the two of them cook together, telling stories and laughing.

Rio: Rio has a way of calming your kid, so when they spend the day with him instead of going to school, they always go back refreshed. Rio will take them to the park most times and play with them. If they’re in a more reserved mood, then he’ll take them to see a movie. If they’re really down, then Rio gets out a canvas and paint, and the two of them go to the park and paint and talk. He hangs the pictures up at home. Sometimes, your kid will ask/demand to go to the animal sanctuary and look at the puppies, sometimes they want to nap in Mom and Dad’s bed, but whatever it is, Rio does it. And your kid is always in a great mood by the time you get home.

how is owning a border collie? does she drive you nuts? is it doable in a city?

it’s ... an experience lol. firstly i will say that although charli is batshit crazy like 90% of the time she is all of the awesome things borders are too: loyal, friendly w dogs + ppl, snuggly at the end of a long day or in the early morning, SO smart, joyously athletic.

she also definitely drives me nuts lol, it’s doable in a city for sure but only w a lot of privileges (that i’m so lucky to have rn). charli needs 4-5 hours of structured exercise + training a day, so my wife/a dog walker takes her for abt 2 hours in the morning, & then i take her for 2 hours in the afternoon. she has mental training for abt an hour a day (advanced obedience, tricks, stim toys, etc). we also live in seattle which, for a city, is rly green & has lots of space. we live by the beach so there’s a good 10 mile loop to walk/run, & we also luckily live a few blocks from a dog park, where she’s been able to socialize, in addition to early puppy play classes.

she’ll start agility in the spring, which i’m looking forward to. her most difficult behaviors right now are herding reactivity (if she’s off leash & sees a bike it’s game over lights out christen press vs spain aka i cannot stop her/catch her); she sometimes barks at little kids as well — never aggressive, just wants to herd. she gets fussy if her schedule gets thrown off at all so we’re pretty tight. if i’m running w her sometimes she gets too amped on the waist lead & jumps a bunch, so then we have to stop & she has to sit for abt 30 seconds.

so all in all she’s a full time job lol, do Not get a herder, esp a collie, if u don’t have ~6+ hours a day to vibe w the dog (& the money for a dog walker, trainer; vet visits are expensive bc collies are genetically resistant to meds p often 🙄 apparently). but since i have help & i’m just super active she’s an awesome dog for me personally, even if she requires a lot of effort. love her to pieces

The Ultimate Guide to Dog Training in Medford, Oregon

Dog training is an essential part of fostering a well-behaved and happy canine companion. In Medford, Oregon, where outdoor adventures abound, having a well-trained dog not only enhances your pet’s quality of life but also makes outings more enjoyable for both of you. Whether you’re a first-time dog owner or an experienced handler, this guide will provide valuable insights into Dog Training Medford Oregon.

Why Dog Training is Essential

Training your dog is more than just teaching them to sit or stay; it’s about establishing a healthy relationship based on trust and respect. A well-trained dog is less likely to engage in destructive behaviors, more comfortable in social situations, and better able to enjoy the freedom that comes with good behavior. In Medford, where parks, hiking trails, and dog-friendly events are plentiful, having a trained dog means more opportunities for fun and less stress in public spaces.

Finding the Right Dog Trainer in Medford

Medford offers a variety of dog training options to suit different needs, from basic obedience classes to specialized training for service dogs or therapy animals. When selecting a dog trainer in Medford, consider the following factors:

Experience and Qualifications: Look for trainers who are certified by reputable organizations like the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) or the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). Experienced trainers will have a deep understanding of dog behavior and a range of techniques to address different challenges.

Training Methods: Positive reinforcement is widely regarded as the most effective and humane training method. Ensure that the trainer you choose uses reward-based techniques rather than punishment. This approach not only strengthens your bond with your dog but also encourages them to learn with enthusiasm.

Class Size and Structure: Smaller class sizes often allow for more personalized attention, which can be crucial if your dog has specific behavioral issues. Some trainers in Medford offer private sessions, group classes, or even in-home training, depending on your dog’s needs.

Specialization: If your dog requires specialized training—such as behavior modification for aggression or preparation for therapy work—ensure that the trainer has experience in these areas.

Popular Dog Training Centers in Medford

Several reputable dog training centers in Medford cater to a wide range of needs:

Southern Oregon Dog Training Club: Known for its friendly atmosphere and knowledgeable trainers, this club offers classes for all levels, from puppy socialization to advanced obedience.

Off Leash K9 Training Medford: Specializing in off-leash obedience, this center is ideal for dog owners who want their pets to enjoy more freedom while still being under control.

Rogue Valley Canine Academy: This academy offers comprehensive training programs, including agility training, behavior modification, and service dog preparation.

The Benefits of Training Your Dog in Medford

Medford’s dog-friendly environment makes it an ideal place to train your dog. The city boasts several parks, such as Bear Creek Park and Prescott Park, where you can practice obedience skills in a real-world setting. Additionally, local events like dog-friendly hikes and meetups provide excellent opportunities to reinforce training in social situations.

Service Dog Training Medford Oregon also allows you to build a stronger bond with your pet while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. With so many resources available, there’s no reason not to invest in training that will benefit both you and your dog for years to come.

Dog training in Medford, Oregon, is an investment in your pet’s happiness and well-being. With the right trainer and a commitment to consistent practice, you can ensure that your dog is well-behaved, confident, and ready to enjoy all the adventures that Medford has to offer. Whether you’re exploring the local parks or attending community events, a trained dog is a joy to have by your side.
