i get into a horrific car accident while carrying a crock pot full of meatballs in the passenger seat. at the hospital, the surgeons cannot sort out which chunks of meat are me and which are not, so I end up with several meatballs sewn into my guts. despite this I make a full recovery, and they elect not to remove the meatballs because quote 'they seem comfy in there.' i go on the talk show circuit and become moderately famous as The Meatballs Woman. when i die i am buried under a gravestone with meatballs carved on it. in the year 2438, a grad student from what is now Cambodia who is studying the late pre-collapse American Empire writes her thesis on this, concluding that I probably never existed and was a conflation of several real stories and urban legends. years later, a pop-history book wildly misinterprets this and several other things, arguing for the existence of a historic American religious pantheon including figures like The Meatballs Woman, Florida Man, Emperor Norton, etc. this book sells bizarrely well and inspires a new neo-pagan movement, which in turn leads to a weird shipping community, resulting in a small but vibrant scene of ABO fics featuring me and MrBeast (who in this context has been interpreted as a god of excess and trickery)
this chilling scenario is only one of the multiple reasons I am going to attempt to not crash my car today

Break Up in a Small Town
Request: What about break up in a small town by Sam Hunt? Pilot!Reader and Jake?! Love your work!! - @callsign-viper
Summary: You and Jake had known each other since high school and the two of you dated back at the Academy. After being stationed on separate sides of the US the two of you separated. Little did you know both of you would be called back to Top Gun. Little did he know you would be followed by a civilian boyfriend.
Warnings: Swearing, name-calling (slut), shitty boyfriend, Hangman to the rescue!
No Y/N; callsign Stinger; called Honeybee by Jake as term of endearment.
Word Count: 3k
AN: This took way too long and I’m sorry. It also ran away from me and I’m not sorry.
When I first started writing this, I was watching too much VPR and Tom is definitely based on Tom Sandoval.
For the parts 1 & 3 of this accidental series: pt 1: Cop Car || pt 3: Falling Like This
《 m.list || ao3 》
“Stinger!” You looked up from your spot in the common room, greeted by the commander looking about as pissed-off as usual, “My office now!”
Shit! What did I do…? Your thoughts ran rampant. You weren't a bad egg by any means but depending on the day the commander could go on a tirade over just about anything.
You stood in front of his desk, eyes trained straight forward. He was looking through a large manila folder. “Do you know why I called you in here?”
“No, Sir.”
“I have to send somebody from this squadron to Miramar…” Your brain was barely able to register the Commander’s words. “This might be against my better judgment, but I’m giving you your dream shot. I'm gonna send you up against the best. You’re going to Top Gun.”
Holy Shit…!
“Thank you, Sir.” You tried to keep a stoic look on your face but inside you were screaming. Top Gun was a big deal and you would be one of the few pilots included in the upcoming class!
“You ship out tomorrow. You're expected to be there Monday at 0500. Don’t make me regret this decision, Lieutenant. You’re dismissed. Go home and pack up.”
“I won’t let you down, Commander.”
You walked out and closed the office door behind you. You tried your best to contain your giddy smile. You bolted down the hall, running into the parking lot and towards your car. The first thing you did was pull out your phone and call your best friend.
Viper was stationed in Florida. The two of you were inseparable at the Academy, attached at the hip, and you didn’t let being stationed in different places stop this. Regardless of the distance, the two of you always stayed in touch, sharing whatever news and gossip came up wherever you were stationed.
“Hello?”
You couldn’t contain yourself and just screamed into the phone, “Guess what!!”
“Okay tone it down there, Sting. I don’t need you blowing out my eardrums.” She laughed.
“I’m going to Top Gun!”
“Oh?” There was a small pause, and you could hear her giggle softly. “That’s amazing, babe! I think there will be a lot in store for you there!" she paused for a moment. "You know, Top Gun, full of surprises!” You knew Viper was acting weird, but your excitement was taking over, and you couldn’t be bothered to ask what she knew. “I umm have to go but call me when you get to Miramar safe! Love you!” She hung up just as quickly as you called her.
Weird as that was you knew better than to question Viper. But the last thing on your mind was the fact that in the Navy, news travels fast and Viper knew much more than she was letting on. All you could think about was goodbye China Lake and hello Miramar!
“You accepted it? Don’t you think we should have talked about this first?” This was not exactly the reaction you were expecting from your boyfriend.
You met Tom about a year ago at a bar just off the China Lake base. You had been stationed at the Naval Air Weapons Station at China Lake since you graduated from the Academy. Being a skilled pilot with a talent for air-to-air combat, it was the perfect placement for you. Last fall, Tom moved to sunny California after being employed as a civilian contractor, hired to work on weapons navigation. The two of you seemed to click well and after a month of being friends, you decided to go out with one another. You hadn’t really dated anyone since the Academy, and it was a nice change of pace, for a while at least. As months went on Tom tended to, not so subtly, question your career as a naval pilot.
“I know, but this is Top Gun. This is a huge deal!” You said adrenalin running through, a giddy smile was plastered on your face. “This is the big leagues! And it’s still in California, only like a 4-hour drive.”
“I get that babe, but you really should have consulted me on such a big decision.”
Your smile began to fade, “You’re right I should have talked to you…” Tom always had a knack for bringing you down a couple of pegs.
“It’s cool and all but you have to consider how it could affect me, us. You know?"
“Yeah… I’m sorry.” You looked down at your feet.
“Hey, don’t give me that face.” He placed his finger under your chin lifting it so you would look at him. “You just have to think before you act.” He pulled you into a hug, “We’ll make it work.”
The drive to Miramar was surprisingly easy despite the traffic. You made it there in record time, partly due to your tendency to drive just a bit over the speed limit.
*Ping*
You looked at your phone expecting it to be Tom but the name on the notification read Phoenix. The two of you had gotten pretty close after her short stint at China Lake a couple of years ago. You were relieved when you found out that she was also accepted into Top Gun, the perspective of a familiar face made your nervousness subside.
You, me, Hard Deck 7 pm! The whole class is meeting up!
You smiled at the screen and all thoughts of Tom and the hope that he would text that he was glad you made it to Miramar safely quickly left your head.
You made it to the Hard Deck a few minutes after 7. As you walked in you saw a collection of khaki surrounding the pool table. You made eye contact with Phoenix, who lifted her empty glass with pleading eyes. You smiled, giving her a nod that indicated her next round was on you before you headed to the bar. You didn’t notice when more khaki uniforms shuffled into the already-packed bar.
“What do we have here? If it ain’t Phoenix!” A tall blonde made his way over to Phoenix and the others. “And here I thought we were special, Coyote. Turns out the invite went to anyone.”
She rolled her eyes, “Fellas, this here’s Bagman.”
“Hangman,” he smiled as if the snide comment didn’t bother him.
“Whatever.” She turned to Fanboy and Payback, “You’re looking at the only naval aviator on active duty with a confirmed air-to-air kill.”
“Stop.” He tried his best to fain embarrassment.
“Mind you, the other guy was in a museum piece from the Korean War.”
“Cold war,” he corrected. “Different wars, same century.”
She smiled back at him, “Not this one.”
“Who are your friends?” He nodded toward the two men on either side of her.
“Payback. Fanboy. And Stinger’s at the bar grabbing drinks.”
“Stinger...?” he spoke in barely a whisper. Hangman could feel his heart skip a beat at a name he hadn’t heard in years but never forgot. There’s no way…
After a few moments you made your way over to the pool table, Nat’s tequila and soda in one hand and your drink of choice in the other.
“What did I miss?” You said squeezing in next to Nat and handing her a drink.
I knew I'd see her around.
I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out.
“Stinger! This is-“
You interrupted before she could finish, “Hangman. It’s been a while, Seresin.” The corner of your lip turns up slightly as you maintain eye contact.
“That it has…” Jake’s eyes wandered through the room, itching for an escape. He figured it was inevitable that he would run into you again, but he wasn’t prepared for it to be now. He saw Rooster out of the corner of his eye, “Bradshaw! Is that you?” Bradley made his way over to the group and you watched as the two men had a dick-measuring contest.
You moved closer to Nat. “Well, he hasn’t changed,” she sighed as she turned back to you.
“Nope. Sure hasn’t…” a small smile making its way across your lips. You downed the rest of your drink, “I think I’m gonna head out. I have a lot of shit to do before Monday.” The reaction between you and Hangman had Nat curious but she knew better than to bombard you with questions.
You were barely at the parking lot before you had your phone in hand dialing Viper’s number. Time differences be damned!
“You knew, didn’t you?!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” You could hear Viper’s smile through the phone.
“You knew he was here!”
“Okay maybe… Yeah, I knew. But come on Sting… I know you still have feelings for him.”
“That doesn’t matter I have Tom...” You didn’t even sound convincing to yourself.
Viper held herself back from sharing her thoughts about Tom. “Well, a lot can happen in a few weeks. Maybe keep your options open.”
You rolled your eyes and let out a soft sigh. “I’ll talk to you later V. Love you.”
“Love you too, S. Be safe up there.”
The first two weeks had been maddening. Top Gun training was a lot, to put it mildly. Being so close to Jake Seresin brought up feelings you thought you had long since buried and it didn’t help that Tom was MIA due to work.
You were wrapping up your post-flight checks, humming along to the music softly playing from the speaker on your workbench.
We just needed some time.
Your mood dampened slightly at the choice of song. You didn’t listen to much country before you met Jake. Coming from the Lone Star State, it’s all he would listen to. It didn't take long for the genre to grow on you. But even after all those years, there was a pull somewhere in your heart whenever a song like that would come on.
Thought I would be fine, but maybe not.
“Hey, Honeybee.” Jake mentally hit himself for the nickname.
Speak of the devil.
You couldn’t help the shiver that made its way down your spine. You wouldn’t say it out loud but you missed the nickname. One only he ever got to call you.
You turned around to see Jake walking towards you. You stood, adjusting your flight suit.
“Good job out there today.” Jake was looking down at the ground.
“Thanks. Same to you.” You gave him a small smile just as his gaze made its way to your face. “Mav’s a hard ass, but this is a good team and I think we have what it takes.”
He couldn’t help but smile, “Hard ass might be underselling it, but I have to agree.” He looks back at the ground once more. “Hey, I’m happy you’re here. While I had some doubts about some of the pilot selections, I never had a second thought about you being here.”
“Thank you, Jake. I-“ Before you can finish your thought you hear a door open next to you. When you look over the sight of Tom is a surprising one. He had barely spoken to you since your arrival, let alone mention coming down to see you.
“Sorry, am I interrupting?” Tom’s arm was slung heavy and uncomfortable on your shoulders.
“Tom, this is Lt. Jake Seresin. He’s also attending Top Gun.”
Hangman extended a handout to Tom, “Nice to meet you, Tom.”
“Back at you, buddy.” Tom leaves Jake’s hand empty, pulling out his phone from his pocket. “Hey babe how about you clean up your grimy self and we meet somewhere for a drink.”
You try your best to brush off Tom’s brazen attitude, “Umm yeah we can meet at the Hard D-“
Tom cuts you off, moving his arm from your shoulder and turning all his focus to his phone, “Yeah. Cool. Let’s meet there in a few hours?” Without waiting for your reply, he starts making his way towards the exit. “Just send me the address.”
You let go of a sigh that caught you somewhat by surprise. “Well, I guess I should wrap up my checks and get out of here.” You couldn’t bring yourself to look at Jake.
Jake was taken aback by the little interaction but bit his tongue. He had no right to comment on your current relationship, even if he hated how the guy talked to you. “Yeah,” he paused for a brief moment, “I’ll see you at the Hard Deck.”
You couldn’t help the smile that formed on your face, “yeah, see you there.”
Jake sat at the bar of the Hard Deck watching Penny and the new bartender pour drinks while he debated his decision to come tonight. The second he saw you for the first time since the Academy, everything that happened between you and him came flooding back. Meeting you in Corpus Christi after your dad got promoted and stationed at their Naval Air Station, going to the Academy together, long nights spent studying, and even longer nights spent intertwined with one another. He missed you. He wanted to convince himself that he didn’t, but he did. He always wondered where you two would have been had you been stationed together after graduation or had you tried to make things work despite the distance. Maybe you wouldn’t have been with that jackass now…
Jake looked up from his drink to be met with a view of the said jackass. However, the hands that were hanging all over Tom, didn’t belong to you. Jake watched for a few more moments as Tom’s hands grabbed at the girl’s ass. Before he knew what he was doing, Jake was making his way towards Tom, taping the shorter, dark-haired man on the shoulder.
“What the-Ho, hey Jacky boy!” Tom’s demeanor quickly changed when faced with the taller blonde.
“It’s Jake.” Jake was straight-faced and unamused.
“Yeah, that’s what I said. Any way you mind?” Tom’s eyes moved from Jake to the girl and back to Jake, hoping that Jake would catch the hit and keep quiet.
I wanna jump out, I wanna fight, I wanna say, "F- that guy!" but I can’t.
Jake knew exactly what that look meant. While he wasn’t proud of it, he had a past. When you first met in high school, Jake had a reputation for having a high “catch and release” rate. It was because of that it took him a while to convince you that he wanted something different with you. After you things reverted, never wanting something serious if it wasn't with you.
The doors to the Hard Deck opened and your gaze was drawn to Jake. Thoughts of Tom were nonexistent, to the point where you couldn’t be bothered to notice the shorter, dark-haired man or the shorter woman hanging all over him.
You waved to try and get Hangman’s attention. On further inspection, you could tell that the man was seething. Jake wasn’t one to share his emotions much and he wasn’t the most readable, but after spending years with him you could read him like a book. When you finally reached the man, you were met with the source of his anger.
“Tom?”
The girl turned to you with a look of disgust, as if you were beneath her. “And who are you?”
“Well, girlfriend doesn’t seem like an appropriate title anymore,” your attention shifted from her back to your ex-boyfriend, “does it, Tom?”
Tom let out a laugh that made you want to shrink into yourself. “Sure, sure. You know what? Fuck you! I could have any girl I want! I don’t have to put up with this bullshit!”
“What bullshit? You’re the one with another woman hanging all over you.”
“Oh, seriously?” Tom looked to Jake and back at you, “Like you haven’t been slutting yourself out to guys like him?”
“Hey hey hey!” Penny moved toward the two of you, “I will not have this shit in my bar.”
Tom scoffed, “And what are you going to do about it?”
Penny smirked and ranked the bell. The whole crowd cheered as Tom looked around in confusion.
“Overboard! Overboard! Overboard!”
Before he had time to think, much less react, Tom was hoisted into the air and carried toward the exit. Before he knew it his ass hit the sand and the doors to the bar were slammed shit.
Jake looked over to you, you had shrunk into yourself at Tom’s words but tried your best to hide it. He gently placed his hand on your shoulder. “You wanna get outta here?” He gave you his iconic smile and you couldn't help but give him a small smile in return.
“Yeah, I would rather be anywhere but here right now.”
“I think I know just the place.” He cashed you both out with Penny and led you to his truck.
“I hope this isn’t your masterful plan to get me back in your bed.” Half joking you look over to him.
He let out a breathy laugh, while he liked the thought of you back in his arms, tangled in the sheets of his bed, he knew that’s not what you needed. At least not right now. “Unlike some, I am capable of think without using my dick.”
The two of you drove in comfortable silence. You noticed that he had driven you back to Miramar. He parked and you looked at him with some confusion. “Come on,” he hopped out, grabbing two blankets out of his back seat before making his way towards the back of the truck and you followed. “You remember back in Corpus Christi when we would sneak onto the base and watch the planes take off.” He laid out the blankets and lifted you to sit on the truck bed.
“I remember us almost getting arrested senior.” I couldn’t help but laugh as you remember that night. You also remember that being the night you two first kissed.
He jumped up to sit next to you, “Thankfully, we don’t have to worry about that.”
Your eyes drifted in his direction, taking in his form. His strong arms, his hands that were much larger than your own. His strong jaw and beautiful eyes. You knew your timing could have been better, but you couldn’t stop yourself, “I’ve missed you, Jake…” Your head came to rest on his shoulder.
His head came to rest slightly on your own, “I missed you too, Honeybee.”

i still ponder what it meant.
and who's gonna know you, if not me?
you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
i'm just mad as hell 'cause i loved this place.
your words are still just ringing in my head.
the story isn't mine anymore.
i'm lonely, but i'm good.
i tried to warn you about them.
fresh out the slammer, i know who my first call will be to.
i look in people's windows.
i will never lose my baby again.
looking backwards might be the only way to move forward.
i choose you and me religiously.
i got cursed like eve got bitten.
i would've died for your sins, instead i just died inside.
well, me and my ghosts, we had a hell of a time.
life was always easier on you than it was on me.
you don't get to tell me about "sad".
i'm not a donor but i'd give you my heart if you needed it.
do you hate me?
you don't get to tell me you feel bad.
i was supposed to be sent away, but they forgot to come and get me.

stay away from her.
i can do it with a broken heart.
you cinephile in black and white.
were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?
but what about your quiet treason?
i hoped you'd return.
i took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary.
i can take the upper hand and touch your body.
i'd rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning.
oh, what a way to die.
i'll tell you one thing honey, i can tell when somebody still wants me.
this place made me feel worthless.
my husband is cheating.
my beloved ghost and me.
i keep finding his things in drawers.
did you take all my old clothes?
even if it's handcuffed, i'm leaving here with you.
i'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague.
no, i'm not coming to my senses.
we've already done it in my head.
that's the closest i've come to my heart exploding.
no matter what i've done, it wouldn't matter anyway.
everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman but she used to say she wished that you were dead.
sometimes i wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me.
good boy, that's right.
let it once be me.
lights, camera, bitch, smile.
it's hell on earth to be heavenly.
i'm runnin' back home to you.
one bad seed kills the garden.
i've been doing it since he left.
they say what doesn't kill you makes you aware, what happens if it becomes who you are?
i was tame, i was gentle till the circus life made me mean.
the hospital was a drag, worst sleep that i ever had.
oh, here we go again.
we learned the right steps to different dances.
i haven't come around in so long.
god save the most judgmental creeps who say they want what's best for me.
'cause i'm a real tough kid, i can handle my shit.
i'll tell you how i've been there too, and that none of it matters.
i'm having his baby.
once i fix me, he's gonna miss me.
no, you can't come to the wedding.
you swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?
but you should've seen him when he first got me.
i'm sure i can pass this test.
they tried to warn you about me.
come close, i'll show you heaven if you'll be an angel all night.
what if i told you i'm back?
i'm there most of the year 'cause i hate it here.
i may never open up the way i did for you.
you left your typewriter at my apartment.
oh, we must stop meeting like this.
scandal does funny things to pride.
tell me 'bout the first time you saw me.
it's gonna be alright, i did my time.
and for a fortnight there we were forever.
i thought it was just goodbye for now.
i love you, it's ruining my life.
i'm not trying to exaggerate, but i think i might die if it happened.
i might just die, it would make no difference.
i'll forget you, but i'll never forgive.
a greater woman stays cool, but i howl like a wolf at the moon.
a greater woman wouldn't beg.
pick your poison, babe.
i died on the altar waiting for the proof.
can we watch our phantoms like watching wild horses?
i don't even want you back, i just want to know.
they'll say i'm nuts if i talk about the existence of you.
way to go, tiger.
were you a sleeper cell spy?
you are bloodthirsty.
you said i needed a brave man, then proceeded to play him until i believed it too.
someone told me there's no such thing as bad thoughts.
i can fix him, no really i can.
you needed me, but you needed drugs more.
thought of calling ya, but you won't pick up.

for a moment, i knew cosmic love
you're the new god we're worshipping.
you gotta fake it 'till you make it, and i did.
i wanna kill her.
did you think i had in me?
you said normal girls were "boring".
and who's gonna hold you like me?
no one here's to blame.
even statues crumble if they're made to wait.
you can mark my words that i said it first.
one last souvenir from my trip to your shores

he said he'd love me all his life.
who else decodes you?
fuck it if i can't have him.
i just learned these people try and save you 'cause they hate you.
tell me all that you'd learned.
you're an animal.
you already know, babe.
growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all.
i loved your hostile takeovers.
you and i go from one kiss to getting married.

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐓𝐖𝐎: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐓 𝐔𝐏
A/N: thank you so so SO much for the support on part one. i did not expect that at all!! everyones likes, reblogs, comments, and tags made my whole day (especially the comments and tags, almost cried during class cause i was soft over some of y'alls fic reviews) um, anyway, still fluffy, still 4k words, still a little awkward eddie, and some very minor angst for plot movement. nothing to be scared about, i promise. also, this fic is very much not a slow burn, it's more akin to love-at-first-sight-but-were-both-awkward-idiot-dummys. and as always so much love and praise for mona @enam3l for making sure this fic is coherent and not just me rambling thoughts. please enjoy!
PART ONE ✿ PART THREE
Virginias letter sat heavy in Eddie’s pocket for the remainder of the day. Only being touched again when he took it from the deep, work pockets and folded it up to put in his jean pockets as he left for the day back home.
Eddie didn’t see you the rest of the day, assuming you left around 2:50 like Virginia would, his own shift not ending till 4. This theory being confirmed when he did finally head out, there were only two cars left in the staff lot. One being his van, his baby that was on her last legs. A few spots down sat the second, Mr. Sinclair’s Honda Accord. Knowing the father of Lucas and Erica, an ex-elementary school teacher turned middle school principal, he probably wouldn’t be heading out till around 5:30 when Ron came in for the night shift and lockup. Mr. Sinclair was a kindly principle with a no-nonsense policy yet, still carefree enough for the kids to like him. He was way better than the principle of Hawkins middle when Eddie attended.
Eddie parked the Mystery Machine - a name dubbed by Robin the first time he took her and Steve on a drive - in front of the small, blue house. Wayne’s car still parked in the driveway, his shift at the plant not starting till 6; giving Eddie enough time to take a power nap and make dinner for the both of them. Tonight was definitely a soup and grilled cheese kinda night. Maybe some steamed broccoli for a balanced meal or what not.
Entering the home, he falls into his usual after work ritual of putting any change from his pockets into the coin-jar and his keys next to it. Then, his shoes come off and are placed by the door so he could slip them on easily in the morning. Wayne’s door was closed, presumably still sleeping, so he does his routine quietly. He keeps his shirt on but takes his jeans off to put on some plaid, loose fit pajama bottoms. Before discarding his jeans into the could-be-worn-again pile, he takes out the note. With a sigh, he sits on the edge of the bed with the letter clasped in his fingers.
Eddie doesn’t even know why the letter was stressing him out so badly. He knew it wouldn’t be anything truly bad. Yeah, he was bummed he wasn’t warned beforehand about her sudden retirement to Florida, but at least she left him something to explain herself. That’s more than the other people in his life who upped and left with no warning could say.
Man up, dude. It’s just words on some paper.
With a few more seconds of memorizing all the curves and loops of his name written by Virginia on the back, he bites the bullet and opens the letter. He unfolds the parchment, noting the formal stationary with a huff of laughter, surprised it wasn’t just a loose-leaf lined page. Eddie begins to read the words left for him.
Dear Eddie M.,
If you’re reading this letter that means I’ve finally left this hellhole and jumped ship. (Jumped on a ship, that is. You know me and my affinity for cruises to tropical locations.)
Eddie did know this, having heard a small handful of stories from Virgina about the cruises and summer beach vacations she would take with her son, Rick, and her roommate, Caroline. He even remembers a few years back, one of the first times he saw her out and about at the grocery store wearing this graphic t-shirt of a humanoid lady cat in a hot pink one-piece, lounging on a beach towel with the words ‘Bahama Mama’ in matching pink script above her. Eddie had walked up to her in the dairy aisle, Cheshire Cat grin on display, and said with his whole chest, “Hello, Bahama Mama.” To which Virginia promptly ignored him with a side eye glance and headed towards the produce section.
But that also means you’ve met the lovely nurse who will be taking my place. She also has a great enjoyment of beach vacations, if you’re looking for topic starters. You’ve always been quite dreadful at small talk, but I won’t bore you with the reminiscing of our first meeting, you were there, and I hope you remember it like I do.
Knowing you, though, you’re either jumping for joy to be rid of this old gal or confused on my sudden departure. I’m truly sorry I couldn’t say goodbye in person and to leave so suddenly. But let’s be honest here, Edward, if anyone could convince me to spend another 65 55 years in Indiana, it would be you.
Caroline and I decided it was as good as time as any to finally do some traveling, just the two of us. Rick and the kids are in a good place now (but please still keep an eye on him when you can, I don’t trust him to be truthful about things, like you are.) You're in a good place as well, whether you care to admit it or not.
I would never have left if I thought you truly still needed me.
Eddie lets out a sardonic laugh at her truthful sentiments. Virginia wasn’t a liar, she had secrets like any normal person, but when she said things, she meant them. He furrows his brows noticing a small wet stain on the next line before another quickly appears. Bringing his free hand up to his face he realizes he’s crying. With a hard sniffle and another chuckle at his own emotions he collects himself and finishes the note.
Enough of the sappy shit crap. You’ll be receiving various postcards in due time through our gorgeous new friend. Play nice and don’t fuck it up, Edward. I believe in you. You need to make friends now before you end up stubborn and old like me. Not everyone gets their own Caroline.
I better here back from you. My replacement will know what to do with them.
Love, Virginia Wagner
Eddie folded up the letter, put it back in the envelope and tucked it in his bedside table drawer. Don’t fuck it up, I believe in you, echoing in his brain. He had no intentions on fucking up anything. Especially with you. You, the woman he just met not even 24 hours ago. He shakes you from his thought, not ready to jump nto that obvious trap set up by a secret hopeless romantic. He needed time. His mind, body, and heart still processing the words he just read before an evil grin spread upon his lips.
“I fucking knew that old witch was a lesbian.”
You didn’t come into work for the remainder of prep-week.
Which was fine. So fine in fact that Eddie 100% didn’t even notice. He had his own work to distract him. How could he have known you weren’t there when he was so busy moving desks, cleaning floors, eating lunch outside with that sad, puppy dog look on his face because he’s never had to find a spot to eat outside of the nurse's office before. Your disappearance hit him like a freight train on Friday.
With one of those old school paperback books from a second-hand shop in town in one hand and the other preoccupied with feeding himself. His brain simultaneously trying to read the small words whilst not overthinking every possible thing regarding you.
Did Eddie just fuck everything up with one meeting? Was he so off-putting that the only reasonable response was to quit on your first day in order to prevent the chance of running into him again? Your ability to make people leave will forever astound me, Eddie Munson, he tells himself.
The reasonable part of Eddies brain played quickly to shut down this intense negative thinking. Maybe you were just sick? Even nurses get sick sometimes! Or a family emergency! Or your car broke down! Or something evil that Eddie wasn’t sure he’d ever possibly be able to explain to someone who didn’t experience it first-hand like him and his friends was happening in Hawkins again and you just happened to be the first victim-
Nope. No. No. We’re shutting this down here, traumatized and overactive brain. Eddie began doing his deep breathing exercises that he learned from his therapist (well, Steve’s, who had promptly told Eddie because mental healthcare was a luxury he could probably never afford.) Reminding himself he was going to be okay he decided that on Monday, if you were still M.I.A, he’d ask someone. Freaking out and thinking the immediate worst, wasn’t gonna help anyone, he needed to just chill. Not let his mind take control of him. Virginia was smart and could sense things about people, she wouldn't have forced the two of you to collide in such a way if she thought you’d up and disappear.
Besides, even the kindest of people don’t share Swiss Rolls with people they hate, and Hawkins was no longer a literal gateway to hell.
Eddie’s weekend was uneventful.
He finished his book. He went grocery shopping. Him and Wayne watched some rom-com film with Julia Roberts as a sex worker. In hindsight, a bizarre movie choice for both of them, next time Eddie thinks he’ll just let Wayne put on his beloved westerns. He worried just a bit about you. He kept his thoughts as realistic as he could this time. Although, he did at one point worry, whilst lying in bed Sunday night, whether you had gone missing and he was the only one to notice, meaning he’s now fucked up any chance of your rediscovery by not informing someone. But this was Hawkins. If you had truly gone missing without a trace, he would’ve heard of it by now. Especially from Pamela in Admin who did the attendance records and didn’t know how to keep things to herself.
Point is, if you had an unexcused absence for the 4-days you were gone, she would’ve made it everyones business. Which gave Eddie some peace of mind that he’s heard nothing through the grapevine that runs through Hawkins.
That Monday morning, Eddie was the first to traverse the halls of the first day of another school year at Hawkins middle. Or he thought he was. He wasn’t so sure because as he made his way to the main switch box that turned on all the hallway lights, a fluorescent glow was spilling out of the Nurse’s office.
He slowed his pace as he approached the door left ajar, his head peeked around the corner of the entry. The lights were all on, there were various storage boxes on the beds, some filled with medical odds and ends, others empty. It was clear someone had been there organizing supplies.
“Uh,” Eddie cleared his throat, the first use of his voice for the morning, “Hello?”
“Good morning,”
He whips around, startled by the cheery voice.
“Jesus H. Christ, you gotta stop doing that,” his hand rubbed at his chest, face disgruntled and red from the jump scare.
“Hey, you’re the one who keeps entering my workspace unannounced,” a look of innocence on your face. You step around him, bodies almost touching for just a second, causing Eddie’s heartbeat to increase embarrassingly so. You’ve got a coffee mug held tightly in one hand, the other stuffed deep in your cardigan. The same sunflowers embellishing it, that greeted Eddie last time. Your scrub top today was black with various illustrations of Mickey and Minnie Mouse depicted as nurses.
“I said hello,” he argues, hand rubbing at his chin. He continues to take in your appearance and any new details he can latch onto. You look the same, of course. It’s only been like what, 6 days since he saw you last. The only glaring difference being a sleepier appearance, even with the bubbly morning aura, your eyelids look heavy. You roll them at his defense, a resting smile never leaving your lips.
You step over bins on the floor, take a long sip from your mug, and set it on the same table he put his lunch sack on last week. He smiles at the mug; it was off white and in red cartoonish font had the slogan ‘I ♡ my aunt!’. You begin to work on the boxes and talk as he stands in the entryway, not wanting to disturb the systematic mess you have in place.
“I hope you didn’t miss me too much,” you snort, picking up a closed box and putting it in the storage closet by the office part of the Nurse’s Office, “I normally don’t disappear like that. You know, I just moved in town a few weeks ago, and I’ve been having problems with the house I’m renting,” you sigh after exiting the closet. Now stuffing labelled Ziploc bags with various bandages and over the counter medication into a new bin. You look focused even while speaking sporadically.
He can’t move his eyes away from your hands as you work diligently on putting content into storage while still explaining about your absence. Vaguely, he catches something about landlords, repair men and having to take cold baths. He was listening but most of his attention was focused on your fingers tackling Ziploc bag openings. Your sleeves rising just enough for him to wonder if shadows were playing tricks on his mind, or there was a wrist tattoo he couldn’t quite make out from this angle.
“Eddie, ya still with me?”
He eyes snaps up from your stilled hands to look at the playful gleam in your eye from catching him staring, “hm?”
“I asked if you’ve read the letter yet,” you decide to step slightly closer, most of the boxes now closed and in the closet. There weren’t that many to begin with but he’s still surprised with how fast you managed to finish the task.
“Yeah, I did. It was sweet, for Virginia that is,” really sweet. You show your teeth in a wide grin.
“I’m glad. I was afraid you might hold some resentment towards me for replacing her,” you do that snort laugh thing again, “I am nosey though, did she mention me?”
Eddie smirks mischievously, hands coming to rest on his hips, allowing himself to incline, further closing the distance between you both. “Wouldn’t ya like to know, Peach.”
Your stomach did front flips from the use of that silly, little nickname again.
“I would, I really would. That’s why I asked,” you say as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. One of your fingers he’d been watching intensely before, now coming up to give his chest a poke.
Was this flirting? Eddie knew it was something akin to flirting, but was this a playful flirting or a serious flirting? He struggled between the two, often getting told off and read wrong for his natural charm. He’s like pretty sure he’s flirting with the serious intention, but were you? His heart felt like it was gonna fall out of his ass and he might throw up his own brain from all these emotions and thoughts.
Before he could respond and remind his head and heart to start working again, a familiar voice spoke from behind his back.
“What is happening here?”
It was Eddie's turn to roll his eyes, another body squeezing past him to enter the nurse’s office. He takes a step back to let the young intruder have space to do whatever he needs to do here. You put your hand down and smile at the student you’ve yet to meet.
Matty Sherman had a head of thick dark curls, a mole on his left cheek, and dark green eyes. He was wearing an obviously well-loved and a size too big Pantera t-shirt he had obviously cut the sleeves off himself to make into a muscle tee. He paired this with loose fitted, medium wash jeans, and some relatively new converse. Obviously wanting to make a statement and look his best for his first day of 8th grade. Both of his backpack straps were secured on his shoulder. His eyes looked between Eddie and you before landing securely on you.
“Sup,” he smiles wide, dimples and braces on display.
“Hi,” you smile widely yourself, a hitch in your voice from trying to not laugh at the situation. You glance over to Eddie, who’s looking at you with a pout on his pretty lips. Your eyes shift toward yet another, Ziploc bag that was in Matty’s hand.
“That for me?” You ask, hand gesturing towards the bag holding obvious medication.
“You the nurse?” The teen boy asks in a playful tone, as if you’re not wearing an outrageously patterned scrub top whilst standing in the nurse’s office.
“I am the nurse.”
“Then this is for you. I have asthma,” he hands you the Ziploc bag, curls bouncing when he turns to look at Eddie now, “Munson.”
“Sherman, how was your summer?”
“Dude, it was great. My dad felt so bad about not doing crap with us for Christmas that he took Me and Eli to see Megadeth in Chicago,” Matty excitedly responds, hands flailing around as he speaks. Beaded bracelets he had covering his wrist clanking together.
Eddie couldn’t help but smile slightly at that. As much as he acted like Matty was a thorn in his side, he did genuinely care about him. In some weird turn of events, he had become to Matty what Virginia was to him. A safe haven at school. Even though Matty was far more popular than Eddie was at the same age, he obviously needed some sort of role model or trusted adult to just care. Matty had his mom at home and Eddie at school. Similar to how Eddie had Wayne at home and Virginia at school.
Matty was waiting for Eddie's response, wanting some sort of confirmation that his ass of a father taking him and his older brother to see a metal concert was actually a cool thing to do. You were clearly taking your time putting Matty’s medication away to give them time to have this moment. Eddie smiles wide at Matty, to which he instantly perks up more.
“Man, that does sound like a great summer. I spent my whole summer cleaning up after you kids,” he huffs and gives Matty’s shoulder a nudge.
“You would’ve loved it, Munson, I’m telling you.”
“Yeah,” he agrees before your make yourself known again.
“I hate to break this up but class for you,” you gesture towards the youngest metalhead, “starts in about 5 minutes and I’m pretty sure we need to get back to work,” you give Eddie an apologetic smile. It’s probably the closest thing to sad he’s seen you so far and he’s not a fan. At all.
“Yeah,” he agrees sadly, teeth nipping at his bottom lip, “We good for lunch?”
“Yes.” You respond, quickly. Agreement coming out before he even got to the final syllable in lunch. Now his lips are being nipped to contain his full smile.
“Good, I’ll see you then,” he moves his hand to grab the handle of Matty’s bookbag to lead him out.
“You will! Bye guys,” You wiggle your fingers in goodbye.
“Bye,” Matty waves to you as he’s being pulled out by Eddie. Your laugh following them out into the hall.
Eddie keeps his hand secured on Matty’s bag until they’re a good few feet in the opposite direction from your door. He lets go and Matty takes a few steps to the side and adjusts his backpack to sit better on his back.
“She’s hot.”
Eddie is positive he gets whiplash from how fast his head turns to glare at the 8th grader. Disgust on his face, even though he said something factual, he shouldn’t be saying things like that at all. He’s like a baby in Eddies eyes.
“Jesus, Matty, don’t say shit like that.”
Matty gasps in mock shock, “Woah! Language, Mr.Munson, I have impressionable ears,” he dramatically covers his ears with both hands. Eddie shakes his head and gives his bookbag a gentle shove towards where he knows his home room is.
“Get to class.”
Matty laughs loudly as he runs down the hall to his first period. Eddie felt too old for this shit.
That Monday lunch went swimmingly. Eddie thinks. He hopes. It definitely felt like it went swimmingly?
You laughed at his jokes. His actual jokes, not just his situational awkwardness. You asked about his week and he asked about yours. He left out the part of being fearful you quit cause of him. Whilst you delved more into your trouble with the handy men and your landlord; your stove still didn’t work but at least you had hot water. He even got to learn more about you pre-Hawkins by finally divulging the info Virginia had written about.
“Well, she is right. I do love the beach,” You were talking with a grape stuffed into your cheek. It was endearing but Eddie was silently praying you chewed it well and didn’t choke cause he definitely did not know the Heimlich manoeuvre. “I think that’s what I’m gonna miss the most while here. Indiana doesn’t even have a coastline, how sad is that,” You’re shaking your head in disapproval.
“We have lakes,” he tries to amend, taking a bit of his Swiss Roll that you, again, have shared with him.
Your eyes shoot up at him in a glare, not amused by his suggestion, “Eat your sandwich.” You say it in a tone that Eddie imagines you would use while scolding a student, it makes him roll his eyes with a huff but he does as you say. Putting the half-eaten Swiss Roll down to actually eat the sandwich he brought, another concoction of various cheeses and deli meat and some lettuce for color.
You smirk at him following your directions. You’re eyeing both your lunches once again, almost identical to the meals you brought on your first lunch. Two sandwiches, two Swiss Rolls, one bag of pretzels, another bag of grapes. You have a Coke can and he’s got Yoo-hoo in a glass. It kinda makes you sad that you’re both grown adults eating lunches teenagers would prep for themselves. You think, once your stove is fixed you may start bringing some better meals, definitely less peanut butter and more vegetables. Maybe you’ll even bring enough to share.
And on Thursday that’s exactly what you do.
Outside of that first Monday morning, nothing eventful really happened for the rest of the week. You had your small group of after lunch medicine takers and a few kids in need of ice packs and Band-Aids. Your lunches were preoccupied with Eddie, getting to know him better.
Part of your brain wanted to convince you that they were kinda like mini dates. Unfortunately, your rational side reminded you that you were just two co-workers who didn’t really fit into any of the other staff groups, looking for some companionship during lunch. You were the replacement of his previous lunch partner. But then you remembered all the snippets of info Virginia had written to you once she began to send you letters after your acceptance to take on her job so she could retire. You probably would never tell Eddie you know this slice of information, not wanting to embarrass him, but she had made it very clear that Eddie was lonely. She knew you were lonely too.
You two can be lonely together.
When Eddie walked into your office that Thursday he was extremely confused at the second lunch box placed where he would normally sit. It was bulky and plastic like yours, but instead of Snoopy it was the Smurfs. You were writing something down in that nurses journal you had, your own lunchbox sat next to your resting elbow.
A worried thought started in his mind, Did you find a new lunch buddy? Were his conversational skills not improving? But then you looked up at him, that kind little smile on your lips.
“You gonna sit down or just keep enjoying the view?”
He returns the smile and gestures to the blue thing before taking his seat, “What’s this?”
“Oh, uh…” You’re flustered. It’s obvious and he’s enamored by it - like most things you do. God what’s gotten into him. “I hope it’s not too forward, but I made you a lunch. My stove got fixed and your, well our- please take no offense to this, our lunches were starting to depress me a bit.” You were talking faster the more you went on. Realizing the possible negative consequences of your actions. Eddie was nice but he didn’t have to entertain your too comfortable and too caring too fast behaviors.
He quickly shut down your increasingly panicked explanation, “I’ve never had a girl make me a lunch before. It’s sweet. You're sweet.” He was honest. He hasn’t had a girl in this context make him any sort of a meal before and you were sweet. Sharing Swiss Rolls and ‘take as many as you like’ candy bowls with the expensive chocolate kind of sweet.
You smile. A wide, closed mouth smile at his understanding. He taps his fingers against the hard plastic shell, right on-top of Smurfette's blue face.
“I hope you like it and I hope you’re not allergic to anything.” You’re calmer now and anticipating him opening his lunch.
“I’m not. Except, for like, pollen,” he chuckles and unlatches the box. Inside there was a Tupperware of spirally noodles with a mix of cut up: vegetables, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, a few rogue pieces of broccoli and some halves pepperoni slices, an oil based Italian dressing covering it all. Your aunt’s pasta salad, that was the first recipe you ever learned. Next to it, wrapped in cling wrap was a fudgy looking brownie with peanut butter morsels spread throughout. When he looks back up you had taken out two Coke cans from the stash he knows you keep in the bottom part of your giant metal filing cabinet. A pretty hand holding one out to him.
“I refuse to buy Pepsi, hope you like Coke.”
“I love Coke,” he takes it from your hand.
The food tasted as good as it looked, so good only the sound of chewing, plastic forks on Tupperware, and hums of appreciation being heard. It was similar to the first lunch but instead of the awkward, uncertain air, this moment was comfortable, relaxing. Two friends - because that’s what you two have become in this last week - enjoying a meal together.
It happened fast, Eddie thinks, this comfort between the two of you. Maybe it’s the kindredness between you two, the various similarities you shared.
“You know, I can cook too,” Eddie breaks the silence. You’re working on your dessert, always saving it for last. Eddie was impatient and devoured his first thing in the most polite way possible. There’s brownie in the corner of your mouth when you give him your attention, humming for him to continue his thought.
Eddie’s not sure what possesses him to do it. He could play it off as his role of janitor and having a habit of cleaning messes, but he knows that’s not entirely true. He cups one side of your face with his hand, the rings are a nice cold on your warm face. His thumb swiping the crumbs from corner lip in such a natural way you’d think he would have done this to you often. No matter how hard you try, you'd always been a messy eater. You don’t flinch. You don’t even show any signs of this being unusual or unwelcome aside from a slight widening of your eyes.
Eddie let's another wave of confidence take over him. “Maybe I can cook for you on Saturday night?”
You nod, mouth still full of brownie and making the executive decision to not be gross and talk with your mouth full in this situation. He smiles and removes his hand from your cheek. Silently, you both find the skin that had just made contact now tingles. It's hard not to think about when you may steal another touch, but the pair of you hope maybe Saturday.

A Mess It Grows - LS18, OP81
Pairing: Lance Stroll x Oscar Piastri (Maplescotch)
Summary: Following Lando's win at Miami, an insecure Oscar heads to his hotel room to regress. One of his boyfriends follows suit to comfort him the only way they know how.
Warnings: Angst, fluff, kink themes (petplay/animal play), sfw intimacy, hurt/comfort, mentions of polyamory, use of pet names
A/N: Crosspost of my fic from my ao3 (inlovingmemory) and also my first fic here. Maplescotch is such an underrated ship and one of the few I would actually die for. (Mainly bc I'm a sucker for ships only I care about) Enjoy.
The checkered flag waved as crowds clad in orange and black began their frantic frenzy. 8 seconds ahead of the 3-times World Champion, for several laps. The rows upon rows of fans under the Florida sun were livid at the sight. Could it really be? A car the color of papaya-orange crossed the finish line for the first time since 2021. But an Australian wasn't the winner. Not this time.
No, that Australian was at Toro Rosso now. AlphaTauri. RB. Whatever they were called, it wasn't Red Bull or McLaren. He was stuck situated behind a Sauber and would likely be his same, bitter, old self after the race.
Yet, there was one Australian today who got the shorter end of that stick. One younger, yet dressed in the same ol' familiar orange and black. Bright, exhausting orange like his car. The one cameras paid no focus on: Oscar Piastri. Driver for McLaren, Alpine survivor, and 2 seasons into F1. Drove his car off for podium place until Carlos collided his Ferrari into the papaya boy.
Front wing damage. No penalty. Late leaving the pit stop from repairs. Forcibly having to settle for 13th place with no points. Losing his place late in the race while Lando was having the time of his life.
Oh yes, Lando. Lando Norris.
There's not much the Aussie could say about the Brit. They were teammates, they were competitors. Nothing more, nothing less than that. They got along, admittedly, only because Oscar knew they had to.
Being at Alpine years ago, he witnessed the opposite firsthand. His long-term boyfriend, Esteban Ocon, had been the subject of several cutthroat backtalk and altercations involving fellow Frenchman Pierre Gasly. Sly remarks full of snark and internal gossip with mean looks, or full on fights in private. It would get nasty, almost catfight-ish. All Oscar could do was sit back and watch like a child of divorce, until he'd have to later comfort and ice Ocon's bruises.
The Aussie knew any teammate relationship could turn sour like theirs at any time. No matter how long or how deep their bond went, a budding rose always came to grow thorns. He's seen the contempt boil and bubble, masked behind the Frenchmens' PR-fueled, artificial smiles for social media. Pierre's faux-friendliness on and off-camera had targeted him too, coming from someone who desperately wanted to lure the young driver in despite knowing Esteban's warnings. Even the most enticing of snakes prepped their fangs.
But Lando wasn't like that.
Atleast, that's what Oscar hoped. Since switching his colors from Alpine's sugary, teeth-rotting, cotton candy-esque light blue and pink to a more vivid orange, the relationship between the two Anglophones had since been short of amiable. Sure, maybe they weren't constantly at eachother's throats - and maybe Oscar should've been grateful for that - but they weren't the best of friends either. Or friends at all. An air of stillness had settled between them since they first met in the same garage over a year ago, growing like a thick fog.
McLaren and F1's social media could paint the papaya pair like two peas in an overwhelmingly positive pod as much as they wanted, but all it did was make them look good. Good. Marketable. Two young drivers ready to take on the whole grid, overwhelmingly clad in black and orange. A World Champion-in-the-making and a former rookie who seemingly locked together like two puzzle pieces. Landoscar, the fans called it. Soulmates, everyone viewed it.
If it were that easy, maybe Oscar would already be attached to the hip of the Brit. Maybe Lando - for how much he flaunted his shamelessly hedonistic lifestyle as if it were his sole personality trait and thought inside that hollow head of his - would atleast make the effort to include and invite him to stuff once in a while. It's not like Oscar was begging to go to his teammate's pretentious parties across Europe, full of high-class randoms several leagues above him. Full of people he didn't know nor could care less about him or his relationships. Instead, Oscar usually kept quiet, only bothering to smile and make small talk when McLaren needed them to. Even when the cameras weren't rolling, it was never like he asked the Brit time and time again to be besties, although sometimes he wish he did.
Lando wouldn't have to pretend to reach out to him after their social media shoots, pretending to be interested in him and his life. The Aussie knew deep down his teammate, for how dull he proudly was, was playing the same games he was, tricking the media and inadvertently, Oscar aswell. People already thought they were the "bestest" of teammates compared to the other, far more infamous pairs on the grid. The thought made Oscar shiver.
Even his boyfriends, despite the bias against them, were never the subject of tabloids as much as the Brit was. If anything, his two lovers being disliked helped keep their relationship out of the spotlight - yet it only made the vipers of paparazzi focus solely on Lando and Oscar. Labeled as 'friends', an 'ideal couple,' despite the younger man already having special people (who were also on the grid) in his life. But God help him for actually thinking journalists payed attention to what was true.
Maybe he wouldn't be constantly compared to Lando - more than he already was - if they actually were good friends like the news said. Oscar was just a former rookie in the eyes of his team and the media, but Lando was a proven, soon-to-be World Champion. Every step he took, praise followed like a trail of gold. His own red carpet. Even the cameras were too bright, Oscar was almost blinded despite how far he was shoved out their view.
In regards to the times where he, or perhaps where McLaren allowed him to, shone, he was restricted to playing 2nd. Times where he could've helped the team gain points were never considered when they focused on his tanner teammate to earn another podium. Oscar would have to stick towards the back end of the race, feeling too insecure to look at his manager in the eye in the garage. A disgustingly sick feeling in the pit of his stomach that he'd grown familiar with. And as he predicted, this strategy (or lack thereof) happened again today.
Except Lando was a race winner now.
-
The heat of the Miami sun rested upon Oscar's back as he begrudgingly exited the cockpit, his fireproofs and suit on fire as he ripped off his helmet. What a horrible race that was, just his luck to go from top 4 to being the loser in a challenge with Carlos. The Spaniard seemed to collide with him, giving him damage to his front wing as he'd end up losing his place. Sure, he was able to get back in the race and set the fastest lap so he'd gain something out of it, even if it was to just end up behind an Alpine and out of points territory. But it didn't really mean anything when he had his race ruined and McLaren couldn't care less about him.
From where he currently was in the garage, God Save The King blared in the distance, like a thought he couldn't truly escape. If he were a little more patriotic, he'd find it nauseating. But even if he wasn't, it still was. Everywhere he went, it seemed to remind him that he'd never be good enough. He'd never be like him in their eyes, only a liability. Feeling sick again, Oscar ran and tried finding the nearest bathroom, far from the McLaren garage. Far from the podium. He couldn't bear to deal with the strategists and members of the team crowding his way right now.
It was his day. Lando's day. It always was.
Stood proud on the podium were the same three that usually stood there: a McLaren, a Red Bull, and a Ferrari. A Brit, a Dutchman. and a Monegasque. The sun's golden glare made them looked blessed, like a trio of angels. Oscar couldn't bother to look from behind his back, ignoring the barrage and sea of voices and lights blinding and deafening him if he did. But they weren't for him, not all of them. It didn't matter. The spotlight was focused on something - rather, someone - else, and he needed to leave. Fast and unbothered. His hotel couldn't have been that far from the track, especially when he was sure some of the other drivers were headed their way there also after the race ended.
Especially the two he knew, who he shared a room with. Who he always shared hotel rooms with, discretely under the guise of being a "group of best friends." Whatever people thought, Oscar needed them. Particularly in this moment, when his head began to feel too heavy for him to support himself. When he needed to be away from the masses and fall into a special sort of headspace only they knew about, behind closed doors. Those special, intimate moments.
After having to do some careful finding in the garage and stripping of his fireproofs, Oscar grabbed his phone and immediately went to his contacts. He's changed enough out of his race suit and back to regular McLaren merch that he could sneak back out to the paddock. In such a fast amount of time too, seeing how the rest of the papaya crew was still too focused on throwing Lando around. Then again, Oscar was rushing in a hurry and practically gone ghost once he situated his cap.
Most of the drivers on the grid stayed at the same hotel for certain races, their team executives booking them months in advance. They were never usually that far from the track or paddock either, for the teams convienence. Such was the case for Miami, where Oscar currently padded open the resort's luxerious doors in an urgent manner. Did McLaren need him right now? Probably, if Lando's win got boring to rub in. Would Oscar head back to attend? Nope.
As the Aussie went to dial the number labelled, "Lancey," in a strike of coincidence, life decided to serve itself to him for once. Meeting eye to eye with the Canadian again off track, the taller male's expression went from one of surprise to worry. The concern seemed to rub off the younger man, as evident by how Lance was able to pick up on it quickly.
"Osc, what are ya' doing here? Shouldn't you be at McLaren's garage?"
Nothing. No response. All he received was a big, brown-eyed stare from his dark brown eyes into his. Lance's worry seemed to grow tenfold at his boyfriend's out-of-character silence. Something must've been really wrong, his race must've gone pretty bad. Lance knew his wasn't great either, but Oscar handled his more deeply.
The Canadian looked down with his own dark eyes, reflecting a vulnerable Oscar in them like a mirror. His voice almost cracked, bringing a hand to grip his tightly as he pulled them towards the elevator. Oscar wasn't even aware that the button for their floor was clicked, and soon they were off.
"I'll- I'll need to phone Esteban as soon as possible, tell him he needs to come back immediately. He's—" Lance's voice trembled, as if he had something stuck in his throat. This ride was taking too long, goosebumps forming on skin from pure nervousness.
Seemingly noticing, Oscar rubbed his head of fluffy peanut-brown hair against his side. He looked up into the eyes of his boyfriend, and felt the Canadian's nerves rapidly calm down. Realizing what kind of care Oscar needed now, the taller man spoke again, this time much more clearly.
"Esteban, right. Este is uhm, busy with Fernando right now. He'll be back soon, hopefully with some food. But I might need him to come quicker, especially since you're going into err—" Oscar pawed at Lance's sweater, cutting his train of thought off again. Feeling concerned yet a little more relaxed now, he laughed. Their elevator had reached their floor. Lance heard Oscar whine a little at how hard he gripped the Aussie's hand while walking over to their room door.
"Pupspace." A smile bright as the morning sun spread on his features. Oscar's followed as he laid put on the velvet floor, restlessly pawing at his feet.
He would've preferred if he had brought a leash to Aston Martin's garage, or perhaps if Esteban did to Alpine's. It would've made his job a lot easier, yet it's not like he could've predicted Oscar would regress this soon. Or this severe. Or Nando potentially finding it on accident. That would've been one hell of an embarrassing talk.
After some fumbling with the lock of the hotel door and Lance's strangely large quantity of keys, the door finally let loose. The Montrealer squatted down near the Australian, exchanging a gentle glance and offering his hand to help him back up to his feet, although only to walk him inside. Oscar's weight felt like a bag of thick rice, needing all of Lance's support to be carried inside as if he couldn't use his legs anymore. Granted, that was because he couldn't. He wasn't "grown" enough to do so currently.
The lights of their hotel room were turned down low, a nice warm orange coating everything. Enough time had passed that the Miami sun had begun to set, its luminous colors bleeding through the large glass windows and fine curtains as it dipped into the horizon. The sight almost made Lance sleepy, almost falling into a drowsy state before realizing he was carrying someone much sleepier already.
Setting Oscar aside on the nearest couch, he kept his head up as the Aussie looked at him with pleading eyes. Wanting warmth and attention now that they were behind closed doors, he whined again, in a higher pitch than last time. Lance couldn't help but chuckle, hands on his hips as he returned some sass.
"Alright alrighty, Butterscotch. I'm trying to be fast for ya, but you're asking quite a lot!" The mahogany of the Canadian's lively eyes reflected back onto Oscar's, who couldn't help his cheeks grow pink like bushes of roses. The younger man watched from his place, sat on the couch, as Lance looked around their temporary living space for a few moments. Almost urgently so.
When finished, he had a familiar leather collar wrapped in his hands. Oscar's eyes went wide at the sight. Unable to keep his excitement down, he reached his thin paws out in a 'grabby' motion and yelped. Yip yapping away. Another laugh escaped Lance, who rested a rough hand on Oscar's shoulder. "Who knew Esteban and I had such a needy, impatient puppy..."
"But I shouldn't mock you this much, especially when ya need this more than me right now." Despite his outward manner and physique compared to the Aussie, the Quebecker's hands were quite gentle as he began wrapping the accessory around his partner's neck. Oscar, of course, stayed still and soaked in the attention like a sponge. Feeling the black and orange-accented leather lock into place and hearing his name tag (which simply read: "OP31, replies to 'Oscar' or 'Butterscotch.' If found, return to Stroll or Ocon.") jingle, he finally relaxed. The bad thoughts from earlier were beginning to drain out.
Not bothering to change either of them out of their team merch, Lance pulled his pet into his grip with one arm. Oscar fell immediately into his chest, pawing at it before circling around to settle himself down more comfortably. Lance gazed down, petting the fluffy caramel-brown hair between his fingers as he pressed a kiss on the Australian's nose bridge.
"You're a good boy, Osc. A good pup." Lance paused, looking away from the chocolately love in Oscar's eyes to his own fingers. Fidgeting and flicking them around, he felt a certain paw mess with it. Lance felt a familiar pair of eyes look back up at him again.
"I'm just— sorry. Sorry for you. I just feel bad that, well, ya know. Lando, Carlos, or whoever, ruined your race today."
A high pitched whimper followed in agreement as the younger man laid his head against the chest of Canadian, opting to lay against the armrest as he waited for their other partner to come home. Oscar took in his partner's scent as he laid on his side, curled up in his arms. Faintly smelling like maple with hints of pecan pie. A cold Autumn breeze over the warmth of a thick cotton scarf.
"It wasn't your fault. I know your mind will tell you otherwise, but I won't. I know, I know..."
Oscar was more than upset about the earlier drama and results, but wouldn't be lying if he admitted that he couldn't care anymore. Fortunately fleeting away, then gone in the wind. Was almost like a near memory that he since brushed off once returning home.
Home where he could unwind, where he could be his true self. Where he could no longer worry about the race or any sort of grid drama. A home where he could be with physically, no matter where he went. Melbourne, Suzuka, Shanghai, Miami...
He was safe at home. Safe, secure, and warm. Home meant comfort, but it also meant security. Private, yet seeked fun. Home never judged him for letting his walls down, or anything else really. Home made him feel seen. Feel loved. Acknowledged.
Lance was home, Oscar's home. Nothing could change that. Nothing would. He wore dark green, but loving him was red.
And so were both of their cheeks currently, mutually flushed as they pressed against eachother. Lance wasn't sleeping, no, but he was surely entertaining himself as he watched Oscar try not to. Yet a peck to the cheek helped his senses kick in, as he giggled and licked at the Montrealer's face.
Smiles were exchanged once more, Lance couldn't help but keep playing with the silk of Oscar's hair. The younger man melted to the touch, rubbing against him in an attempt for more petting. His collar seemed to be a bit too tight for his skin, causing a noticeable red mark around his neck. He had his hands available, but seemed to prefer Lance's help.
"I just wish they came to some sense, ya know? Carlos, I mean. I— I don't understand him."
The Quebecker stood up, causing the reaction of his little spoon to do the same. Oscar fell to the floor. Knobby knees against the velvet carpet as he stayed on his fours. Lance stood to stretch, leaning down to pet the Aussie as he walked towards his temporary water bowl. Tapping the side twice, Oscar skittered across obediently. Lance's train of thought continued again as he leaned against the wall, watching Oscar lap up his water.
"There's always gonna be those types of people on the grid, the ones that want you gone. I've been through it, so has Esteban. Even Lewis."
Oscar stayed put on the floor, sitting crissed-cross with his two front hands infront. Water ran from his face down his chin. A noticeable stain now soaking the collar of his papaya-orange polo. He turned his head to the side at Lance's words, whining an octave louder. Brown eyes staring.
"I know what it's like to constantly be compared to your teammate too. You— You have to survive with it in this sport, unfortunately."
Lance adjusted his posture, squatting on the floor before standing up on his knees. Unlike Oscar, he wobbled, only stabilizing himself with a hand behind him on the floor. He pat at his thigh, whistling as he locked eye contact with the Australian, before bringing him in a tight embrace.
"You don't deserve any of this, Butterscotch. None of this. I'm sorry."
The Canadian's grip seemed to fasten against Oscar's skinnier body like a death grip. As if he didn't want to let him go, or let him breathe. Oscar rested his head the broad of Lance's shoulder, hands splayed on his lover's back. He didn't know where else to leave them.
He felt Lance's hands curl into the caramel of his hair, like milkweed silk between his rough fingers. Oscar closed his eyes, huffing before shaking slightly. His breath stuttering as his chest heaved, feeling like the weight of several stones. Was he crying? He can't remember the last time he did that, especially over a race. Over Lando. Over Carlos. Over everything and anything. Lance hugged him tightly, shushing him as he felt cold tears stain his sweater.
A nearby phone on the coffee table began to ring. Lance's phone. Must've been Esteban.
They let it play, ignoring the ringtone repeating before it eventually ended. They didn't need to move for the world, to wait for others. All Lance needed to do was pay attention to his puppy. His pet. His lover. His Oscie.
It was his night. Oscar's night. It always was.
Atleast to Lance. Esteban too, but only one of them was present. That's all that mattered. Oscar had people that cared, spotlight or not. Race winner or not. Unruined race or not.
Before he knew it, the Australian felt lightheaded. And light. His sopping eyes opened once again as streams littered his face, his blurry vision turning around to notice he wasn't on the floor anymore. Lance was carrying him in his arms, bridal style now. It made Oscar feel small. Vulnerable. Safe. Too deep into headspace and his own insecurities to feel anything but like a puppy.
Looking up, the younger man was met with dark brown eyes meeting his gaze. The Canadian nodded, allowing Oscar to use his sweater to wipe his tears. He pressed a kiss to the bridge of Oscar's nose again, before laying him in the marble of their hotel room's bathtub. His soft yet coarse hands made quick work of the leather collar around the Aussie's neck, rubbing the slight red it left behind.
Mercy coated Lance's eyes, as he sighed yet still gave a gentle smile. His cheeks lightly budding pink like a bush of hibiscuses. Oscar turned his nose up, smiling back in a toothy grin that went up the corners of his face. Face redder than salmon roe. Lance gripped his delicate hands, bringing them to his lips for a kiss. His skin was soft like the rest of him, yet he smelled his strongest here. Like oranges and vanilla.
Lance leaned against the tub, slowly taking off each of his dear's garments. Maybe Oscar had his hands available, but he was too deep into headspace to speak — let alone strip himself. The toffee of his eyes stayed locked onto the Quebecker, purring as he went limp. Even if Oscar could take care of himself, Lance knew he needed him now. And now was all that mattered.
At the final piece of clothing, Oscar's boxers, Lance paused. His hands moved up the pale of the Australian's body to cup his cheeks, moving his thumbs against them in a soothing motion. Lance looked down at him, gentle, serene. Oscar let him do anything, and he was glad he trusted him that much. Like a puppy to its owner. A vulnerable animal to its caretaker. He pressed one final kiss to his soft, pink lips. He tasted like sorbet, Lance's favorite.
They locked eyes once more before Lance's train of thought continued. His faint voice finding itself again.
"Let's— Let's get you cleaned up, Scotchie."

Emergency-ish Commissions
Hey guys it's your local florida man in a bit of a tight spot; hurricane number one totaled my car and hurricane number two knocked out the power for 5 days and I haven't had a chance to apply for assistance for food yet. I'll be without a car for most of next month (with someone who can at least help me get to and from work) and am opening up commissions to try to put a little more towards a down payment for a new car.
For 5 dollars I can give you a little doodle (might slip in a little more detail if you ask for a pokemon!) and for 25 I can do a full body piece, with a couple background elements and some light shading/lighting.
Here's some 5 dollar examples:
And here's some 25 dollar examples:
Won't do anything explicit, bigoted, the standard criteria; other than those, I'm pretty flexible with what I'll draw (fanart, OC art, ship art self-insert, anthro, some mech - I'm still learning!) , just shoot me a DM if you're not sure!
Payment is upfront, either through the commissions tab or directly through the donate button in the link, just let me know what you'd like I'll get to it! Every little bit helps, thank you to everyone!
#this is my most formalized approach to this yet.. gonna rely on reblogs bc between the links and the words i'm using#this post will be 100% shadowbanned#god this feels like. e-begging but between the credit cards and the new car and potentially needing to uber#and also not knowing if i can even pick up extra shifts#it would be fine if this happened literally any other time of year i just. it's happening right when i could really get overtime pay#back to back storms. it could've been so much worse; we thought it might hit as a cat 4 at one point but it still did a ton of damage#i'm yapping so i'll finish this off here; anything to help me feel a little more secure in the coming weeks!#i'm not fighting for my life or anything but like. the car thing is really stressing me out#shai speaks

So my cat died today.
(tw:pet illness, death)
idk I might try and write the whole story later, but 15 years is a lot to try and boil down. (NB, I got him when he was 2, which you might have figured out because he was 17.)
But long story short, in February of 22 I was in Florida setting up an expo for work when the vet called me. Nat had taken the boys for a dental cleaning, and Peri lost like, a pound in a few weeks.
I was 900 miles away and could do nothing as they did scans and blood tests and I hid behind a shipping crate and cried.
They found a mass in his stomach and he's been on steroids since. We didn't know what it was, because I didn't want to do the exploratory on a cat his age. The vet agreed. I thought at the time that I had 3 months left. I got 18.
Recently Pman has had less appetite. This came to a head on Wednesday when I got home from work to feed the cats and he didn't come when I opened the can. He was also leaving more and more food uneaten.
I called the vet yesterday but it didn't feel emergent so when i got voicemail I gave up. Called again around 11 this morning and they asked me to bring him in ASAP. I had a Feeling then that today was going to end with a cremation.
Nat was headed home early from work because they're doing construction on his building and he was Done so I called and asked him to take Peri in. He agreed.
When he got to the house, Peri had found a bobbin for embroidery floss at some point between when I left at 7:45am and when he got home at 11:45am and eaten the thread off of it.
Nat called me and I just.. left. I just got up and left work and called the people I needed to call from the car to tell them I had a pet emergency and was leaving for the day. Nat and I met at the vet.
The issues came down to this:
When a cat eats string, your concern is it being in the intestine. If you pull on the string you can tear the intestine with the pressure. If you don't know how long it's been, you need to scope the cat or do exploratory surgery.
Our vet did not have anyone to scope the cat. They called every other vet in town, apparently. Time ticked by. They found one about 40 minutes away.
At this point it was close to 1:30. In the best scenario, it had been at least 2 hours since the thread entered his system. It would be another hour before we could get the scope in him. I kept saying to Nat, as we sat and waited, that there was no world where it wasn't in the intestine by the time we got him there. This is when I started to really fucking lose it.
If the string was in the intestine, they were going to have to do exploratory abdominal surgery on a 17-year-old cat to get it out. I remember what his recovery was like when he was 3 and did this. I was not sure it was fair to do that to a cat as old as him. I was pretty sure I had murdered my best friend with embroidery floss, which is going to be funny in retrospect but right now it isn't.
I know Peri has eaten string before. I remember the night he did it in the Laurel apartment like it was yesterday. I was usually vigilant about not leaving shit around for him to eat. The number of times I nagged Nat about spools of thread, or shoelaces, or twist ties. I looked at that bobbin yesterday and thought "I should put that away before Peri gets at it." I did not put it away. I was starting to convince myself that I killed my cat. That this whole thing was my fault. Poor Nat sitting next to me in this vet room. He is not an affectionate person. He does not touch. I doubt we have ever hugged. Here we are, and I'm holding my cat and crying. He mustered up all his courage and touched my shoulder. We stan one emotionally unavailable roommate.
As it turned out, it didn't matter. The x-ray revealed that the mass in his stomach had moved to his chest. His lungs were scalloped around the edges and there was fluid around his heart.
Nat and I both cried and killed an entire box of tissues. Peri let me hold him and he even gave us some moops. The vet told me to just keep talking. And the only thing I remember saying was that he had been such a good mommy to those ferals we fostered because he did such a good job of raising me, first.
So best boy, lover of Popsicle sticks, Wrong Tail haver, spottiest cat and cattiest spot, Peri Pants McGee, the Periman, Pman, Mr. Mooperman, and any other name I called him over the last 15 years was the best cat that most of you never got to meet.
His favorite thing in the world was when I put a blanket over my legs and then he laid on the blanket. He liked to lick my toes and ankles, which was the worst. He was a very good reason to stay alive on certain days when that didn't seem to be a priority. He was my best friend, and I love him.

omg I just stumbled upon this account with perfect timing bc I had this wild dream last night and I need to share it with someone. It was like a fusion of HSR and genshin impact but like in a modern au kinda. And it revolved around Ratio, Aventurine, Alhaitham and Kaveh (with the obvious ships ofc bc even in sleep I’m a diehard shipper lol) but like Aventurine was the mc of sorts of the dream yknow like I wasnt seeing from his perspective or anything but it kinda focused on him. It’s so OOC that I was confused as well but it’s chaotic good.
but anyway so the dream started in what I assume was Ratio and Aventurine’s bedroom bc they were in bed and it was night n shit. for some dumb reason that I don’t remember there was a map of Florida on the wall (they weren’t in america or anything) and Aventurine was convinced that Ratio couldn’t fall asleep without looking at the map even though there was literally no reason to think that and it wasn’t even Ratio’s idea to have the map in the first place. This scene was wildly irrelevant and is only rly mentioned like once later and I find it hilariously out of pocket.
cue the next day where Aventurine and Ratio are invited over to Alhaitham’s house (and kaveh’s but they wouldnt stop calling it alhaithams) for a meal, dinner I think even though it was literally daytime? But yeah they were invited over and so they pulled up and for some reason in my mind the house looked weirdly like my house irl ig dreams are like that. Idk rly where Ratio and Kaveh go off to for a moment but they do go off somewhere whilst Aventurine climbs into alhaitham’s car.
Should probably mention Alhaitham was already in the car so the two kinda just chat for a while and Alhaitham is pretty much like “hey can you not do something stupid or be an asshole for just this one day this is important to me” and Aventurine wasn’t offended by this at all bc apparently Alhaitham was genuinely his friend?? (I was expecting Kaveh and Aventurine but my dream said no) but Aventurine is a bit confused why having dinner with him and ratio is a big deal bc it’s just like having friends over tf. So Alhaitham reaches around to the back seats of the car and pulls out this big stack of books which seems random at first but Aventurine checks all of their front covers and discovers they all say Veritas Ratio on them. Alhaitham explains that he is fascinated by Ratio’s work and was looking forwards to talking abt it so if Aventurine could behave that would be great.
Aventurine doesn’t get to reply or anything tho bc Ratio and Kaveh come along and knocks on the car window to tell them that dinner is ready (looking back on it, I think Ratio might’ve been helping Kaveh cook which is a crime that I didn’t get to see it). When I tell you I have never seen anyone move as fast as Aventurine and Alhaitham did in my life I mean they were FAST bc neither of them wanted to be caught dead by Ratio himself with those books so they just kinda shoved the books into the back seat again (blackout windows I assume?) and got out of the car.
cue the dinner which actually looked really tasty but Aventurine can’t keep his mouth shut despite what Alhaitham said and neither can Kaveh. Kaveh won’t stop complaining abt all the things Alhaitham hasn’t done bc apparently it was his turn to cook and Aventurine for some reason is determined to ruin Alhaitham’s admiration for Ratio and proceeds to bring up the Florida map thing (again, entirely irrelevant). In a moment that must be why he didn’t get into the Genius Society, Ratio decides the only way to get out of this god forsaken dinner is to literally climb out a window… Yeah. Aventurine, Kaveh and Alhaitham are all equally confused.
After much confusion Aventurine decides to excuse himself and follow after Ratio. For some reason the two of them end out in Alhaitham’s car??? And Aventurine shows Ratio THE books and they talk and it was actually surprisingly sweet n wholesome. By this time its actually getting dark tho so they go back into the house eventually to say goodbye and go their seperate ways. When Aventurine and Ratio get home the Florida map isn’ there, then I promptly woke up and was like wtf.
Very long ask and there isn’t even a question either but I had to tell someone. thank you SO MUCH
Lmao this has made my day. I wish I dreamt about HSR and Genshin Impact, that’d be so fun. This has serious crackfic potential lmao.
But you’re right, the whole Florida map thing is so out of pocket. Why do they have a map of Florida? Why did Aventurine choose to hang up a map of Florida in the bedroom? And better yet, why does he think Dr Ratio can’t fall asleep until he sees the map? This is the kind of thing only dream logic can explain. Dream logic also likes to make fictional places look like places you know in real life.
The idea of Kaveh and Alhaitham inviting Dr Ratio and Aventurine over for dinner is actually quite nice. Definitely didn’t expect Alhaitham and Aventurine to be friends, nor will I ever get over Alhaitham straight up telling Aventurine “yo can you like not be a dick for once”. Also Alhaitham having books on Dr Ratio’s studies weirdly makes sense. I too am salty that you didn’t get to witness Kaveh and Dr Ratio cooking. Missed opportunity.
After everything that’s been happening in Penacony, I think Aventurine deserves to be chaotic and determined to ruin Alhaitham’s view of Dr Ratio. Though Dr Ratio straight up climbing out the window— anon, you’re entirely right about the Genius Society. Their sweet moment makes up for all the chaos though (even if Dr Ratio would definitely still be a little pissed Aventurine was spreading misinformation about him).
And to end it all off, the Florida map is just… gone? What, did someone take it down? Or was it never there to begin with? Maybe the real haikaveh/ratiorine was the Florida maps we met along the way.
Thank you for this masterpiece.

Love Online Chapter 37
Warnings: this chapter has a little bit of a trauma in it. No one dies don't worry. It's just a brief scene where something happens.
They step onto the ship. They are greeted by a young woman who takes their luggage. They follow her towards their room.
"Oh my gosh, they have a water slide!" Merida exclaims.
Chris smiles. He loves seeing Merida so excited. He squeezes her hand, and they continue to follow the young woman to their room.
"Here is your room." The young woman says rolling their luggage into the room. "Is there anything you need?"
"No, I think we are good, thanks." Chris says.
She nods. Chris reaches into this pocket and takes out his wallet and pulls out two twenties and hands it to her.
"Thanks. If you need anything just let me know."
Chris nods. After she is gone, he closes the door and pulls Merida into his arms.
"Chris."
"What? It's been an hour since I've been able to hold you in my arms. I've been dying to kiss you." He says leaning forward and kissing her hard on the mouth.
"Chris. I..."
"Babe, what's wrong?" he asks, pulling back a little and looking into her eyes.
"Nothing I just..."
"You just what?"
"I need to...I'll be right back." Merida pulls away from him and heads towards the bathroom. Chris shakes his head and moves their suitcases to the other side of the room. A few minutes later Merida comes out of the bathroom. Chris is lying on the bed on his phone. She walks towards the bed. "Chris." Chris holds up a finger. "Yes, I understand. Yes, got it. Thanks." He then hangs up.
"Everything okay?" Merida asks.
"Yep, everything is good. Are you okay?"
"Yes." Chris reaches over and grabs Merida and pulls her onto the bed into his lap.
"Chris!" She yelps. Chris laughs.
"So, what are we going to do? I can think of a few things." He grins and winks.
Merida laughs. "Later, I want to go on deck."
"Sure, let's go."
Merida and Chris head up on the deck. They stand at the railing. Chris wraps his arms around Merida as she stands at the railing looking out over the water. He leans forward and kisses her cheek.
Over the next few days Chris and Merida spend lots of time in their room making love, but they also go on the water slide and watch shows on the ship. They get out at each destination and walk around. They even spend some time at the beach and various locations. Merida takes lots of pictures of Chris, and Chris takes lots of pictures of Merida. A few times people offer to take pictures of them. On their last day Chris wakes up at 4:00 am. He looks down at Merida who has her head on his chest. He kisses her head.
"Babe, wake up."
Merida groans. "Hmm."
"It's time to wake up babe. We have to get ready. We need to leave soon."
"What time it is?"
"4."
"Uh, so early. Let me sleep."
"I wish I could, but we need to leave soon. You need to get up so we have enough time. We will be arriving back in Florida soon."
Merida looks up at Chris.
"Chris?"
"Yeah babe."
"I wish we didn't have to leave. This has been fun."
Chris smiles. "It has. We can go on another cruise sometime." He says kissing her. "Now come on get up."
Merida reluctantly gets up and heads to the bathroom. Once they are both ready they make sure they have all their stuff packed up and set it by the door.
"You ready babe?"
"Yeah." Chris rolls their suitcases out. Merida follows him. After leaving the ship they head to Chris's car. He puts their suitcases in the trunk and then they climb into his car and he pulls out of the parking garage.
"We didn't take time to eat on the ship. Are you hungry?" Chris asks.
"Yes."
"What are you in the mood for?"
"It doesn't matter. Whatever you want is fine."
Chris sees a sign for restaurants. "There is an I-hop. Is that okay?"
"Sure."
After eating a quick bite they are back in the car and on their way.
"Are we driving all the way back to NC tonight?"
"Probably not. I would love to but I should probably stop eventually. I know I will get tired."
Around 10 Chris pulls into a hotel parking lot. He checks them in and they head to their room. They get ready for bed and climb into bed. Chris is exhausted from driving. Merida curls up next to him and lays her head on his chest. He kisses her head. "I love you babe. Sweet dreams."
"I love you too."
The next morning they get up early and are soon back on the road. Chris pulls into Merida's drive way several hours later, its around 12. They unload the car and then head into the house.
"It's good to be home." Merida says.
"Yeah. So how long do you want to stay here before we move to Boston?"
"Well I haven't talked to Catherine yet, but maybe a month or so. Or is that too long?"
"Oh, that long. I was thinking a few weeks."
"Well I have to have time to go through my stuff. I haven't finished packing and going through my stuff yet, and I am just not ready to leave my job yet."
Chris closes the gap between them, wrapping his arms around her.
"I know that is going to be hard for you babe, but I promise you can find another job in Boston, if you want to."
"I know, but I will miss Catherine and the rest of the staff there."
"I know. You and Catherine are close."
"Yes. I will miss her, she has really been there for me."
"I know babe, but you can stay in touch."
"I know and I will but..."
Chris reaches up and caresses her cheek.
"So umm, do you have to leave anytime soon?"
"I have about a month before I start filming. I do have a meeting coming up that I will have to be gone for the weekend."
"Oh, when is that?"
"I think it's the last weekend in Jan. I will have to check to be sure."
"Okay."
Merida starts to leave the room but Chris stops her. "Babe, is your dad bringing Dixie or do we need to go get her?"
"Oh, I need to call him to let him know we are back. Does your brother have Dodger?"
"No he's with my mom."
"Oh, are you going to get him?"
"No, I told her I would get him when we move there, but I didn't realize it would be a month."
"We can make a trip there if you want to get him."
"It's okay. I know she won't mind keeping him until we move. He loves it at her house."
"Are you sure? We can go one weekend. I know you miss him."
Chris smiles, "I do yes, but it's okay. It won't be long and I will see him again. I know you have a lot going on and..."
"Chris," Merida says walking back towards him and taking his face in her hands. "I know how much he means to you, we can go get him. It's not a problem. We can work something out."
"Alright."
"Let me call my dad."
Merida calls her dad
"Hey princess! How was the honeymoon?"
"It was great. We just got home."
"I bet your tired."
"A little. I was wondering when I could get Dixie."
"Anytime you want Princess. I can bring her by or you can come get her."
Merida looks at Chris. "Umm, hang on a second daddy." Merida comes the phone with her hand.
"Do you want to go get her or should my dad bring her by?"
"Doesn't matter to me babe."
Merida goes back to her phone. "Daddy."
"Yes princess?"
"How about if we..."
"Why don't I bring her to you? I know you and Chris are tired."
"Are you sure? We don't mind..."
"No its not a problem. That way you two don't have to go out again."
"If your sure."
"I'm sure. I will be by in a little bit."
"Alright."
They end the call.
"He is bringing her by in a little bit."
"Okay."
Chris and Merida spend the day relaxing and later that afternoon her dad brings Dixie over. He brings dinner with him, pizza and they sit and eat and spend some time together then he leaves. That night while Chris is in the bathroom Merida is lying in bed and gets on Instagram and posts some pictures from the honeymoon. Disneydoggrl83 ❤️-pictures from my honeymoon. It was amazing! It was the best honeymoon ever! I love being married to @Chrisevans he's the best husband ever!
The next several days go by. Merida packs and goes through her stuff. The beginning of Jan she goes back to work. She arrives at work early.
"Merida, how was the honeymoon?" Catherine asks
"It was wonderful."
"I saw some of the picutes you posted on Instagram."
"Yeah."
"When are you moving? I know you said you were moving to Boston."
"Umm, well I wanted to talk to you about that. I am still going through stuff and packing, but I was thinking maybe moving the end of this month or the beginning of next month."
"Sure. You just let me know when. I will work it out."
Merida nods. "I will miss it."
"I know. We will miss you. But you know, you are welcome anytime. If your ever in town you can always drop by to visit."
"I will, definitely. I will talk it over with Chris and let you know."
"Of course."
Merida clocks in then heads to her room. She only has two kids. Miranda is changing one of them.
"Merida! Hey!"
"Hi."
"How was the honeymoon?" She smiles.
"It was good. I hated to leave, it was amazing."
"I bet it was. I saw the pictures. It was beautiful."
"Yes it was. Everything been okay?"
"Yeah, we have been low actually."
The day goes by slowly. Merida can't wait to get home to Chris. She misses him. After being with him everyday for the last two weeks, it is hard being away from him. By the end of the day she is tired. She leaves work and heads home. Chris is on the couch with Dixie reading. Merida puts her stuff down and sits down next to him.
"Babe, I didn't hear you. How was your first day back?"
"It was good. I talked to Catherine."
"What did she say?"
"She said any day was fine with her. I just needed to let her know when my last day would be."
"Well, we would probably need to move the beginning of Feb. I leave for Atlanta on the 7th."
"7th? How long will you be gone?"
"Uh...two months maybe three? I would come home on weekends if I could. But I start filming on the 14th."
"14! That's Valentine's day!"
"I know." Chris frowns. "I'm sorry babe."
"Our first Valentine's Day married and I won't be able to see you."
"I will video call you."
"I know but it won't be the same."
"I know babe, I'm sorry." He says placing his hand on her leg.
"Okay, so." Merida pulls out her phone. She pulls up her calendar.
"How about my last day be Jan 28th? That is Friday."
"That is the day I head to DC for a meeting."
"What?"
"I told you I had a meeting coming up and I would be gone for the weekend. But I will be back on Sunday."
"Yeah, but..."
"I will call you, text you when I can and I will video call you every night."
"When will you leave?"
"In the morning, probably soon after you leave for work."
"Okay." Merida says frowning.
"It will be okay babe. You still have the security watching you. If anything happens they will contact me immediately."
Merida nods. "I love you Chris."
"I love you more." Chris says then kisses her on the lips.
Merida tells her boss the next day at work her plan. Saying her last day will be Jan 28th. Her boss thanks her and tells her she will work it out. The next few weeks go by. Merida works on going through her things, with Chris's help. Then it's the Friday Chris leaves and her last day at work. Merida wakes up to her alarm that morning. She rolls over to find Chris looking at her.
"Good morning babe."
"Morning."
Chris leans towards her gives her a kiss on the lips. He then moves down towards her neck.
"Chris, I have to get ready for work."
"I know." He smiles and gives her another quick kiss. Merida gets up and heads towards the bathroom. She gets ready for work. Chris gets up and lets Dixie outside and starts fixing some breakfast. Merida finishes getting ready and heads towards the kitchen.
"Something smells good."
"I thought I would make you breakfast before work."
Merida walks up to Chris, who is at the stove. She wraps her arms around him. "That's sweet of you. Thanks."
Chris turns and kisses her head. "It's almost done. It's not much but..."
"It's okay. I can't eat much this early in the morning."
Chris takes up the pesto eggs and puts them on a plate. "Your coffee is ready." He says nodding to the Keurig that has a cup under it with coffee already in it.
Merida grabs the cup and sets it on the Island. She grabs the creamer from the fridge and pours some in her cup. Chris fixes himself some coffee. He is putting it on the island just as Merida is sitting down. Merida looks over at the door and sees Chris's bag sitting there.
"So your ready to go?" Merida asks.
"What?"
"I see your bag by the door."
"Oh yes, I just have some last minute things to get before I am totally ready."
Merida nods. She eats her eggs and sips on her coffee. When she is done she gets up and puts her things in the dishwasher. She starts to head towards the bedroom but Chris grabs her hand as she walks by
"Babe?"
"Yeah?" She says turning towards him.
Chris pulls her towards him and into his lap. "I love you."
"I love you too." She says leaning towards him and kissing him. "I need to go brush my teeth."
Chris lets her go and she heads towards the bedroom then bathroom and brushes her teeth. She grabs her purse and heads back to the kitchen. Chris is putting his dishes in the dishwasher.
"Well, I guess I will see you Sunday." Merida says walking towards him.
"No you will see me tonight. I will video call you."
"Right, well officially see you Sunday." Merida smiles.
"Yes, I will be back Sunday. Be careful on your way to work. I love you."
"I will and I love you too." Merida says kissing him and then heads out.
When Merida arrives at work Catherine stops her before she heads towards her room.
"Merida."
"Yes?"
"Can you come here for a minute please?"
"Sure."
Merida walks towards her desk.
"I have something for you. This is your last check." She says holding out an envelope.
"Thanks."
Merida heads towards her room.
"Merida!" Miranda exclaims.
"Hey Miranda."
"Your last day." She frowns.
"Please don't remind me." Merida says sadly.
Miranda hugs her. "Did Catherine tell you about the lunch?"
"Lunch? What lunch?"
"Oh she didn't tell you, opps umm. Well..."
Just then Catherine walks into the room.
"Merida, I forgot to tell you about the lunch. We have a special lunch for you. A thanks you for all your hard work. We will all miss you."
"Aww thanks Catherine."
"Your welcome sweetie."
The day goes by much to quickly for Merida. Her coworkers and boss had gotten her several gifts and prepared a wonderful lunch. Around 2 Catherine walks into the room carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers
"Merida, these arrived for you."
"Oh my goodness."
Catherine sets them on top of the cubbies. Merida walks over to them and picks up the card
Babe,
Hope you have a good last day! I love you and I will talk to you tonight. I miss you already.
Love, your husband, Chris
"Aww." Merida says almost crying and biting her lip.
"Are they from Chris?" Miranda asks.
"Yes."
"Aww."
Later that evening Merida has just finished cleaning her room and grabs her stuff and is heading to Catherine's office to clock out.
"Good luck Merida. If you ever need anything please let me know."
"I will thanks. Thanks for everything Catherine. I miss you. You have been like a mother to me all these years and I..."
Catherine stands and walks around her desk and gives Merida a hug.
"Your welcome sweetie. I love you like you were my daughter. Keep in touch and let me know how things go. Okay?"
"I will thanks."
Merida heads out to her car. She has just gotten in her car and has set her flowers in the floor board of the passenger side when she gets a notification on her phone. She looks down and sees a message from someone she doesn't know on Instagram.
Chrisfan-I saw this and thought you should know your husband is cheating on you
I know this is old pic and he doesn't look like this now but it's the only pic I could find that would work for the story. "What! No way! He wouldn't! No he can't be!" Merida cries. She throws her phone on the passenger seat and pulls out of the parking lot. It starts pouring.
"Great! Its already dark and its raining!" Merida says out loud to herself.
Merida has just stopped at a light when her phone rings. She looks over and sees it is Tiffany. She answers and puts it on speaker phone.
"Hi."
"Mer, hey. You okay? You sound up set."
"No I'm not okay!"
"What's wrong?"
"Well its my last day at work and everything was great, well I mean its was hard but everyone was so nice and Chris sent me flowers but then when I get to my car I get this message and it says I thought you should know your husband has been cheating on you and has picture of him kissing a girl."
"What!"
"Yeah. I know. I mean, I don't want to jump to conclusions, but he said he had a meeting in DC. I can't imagaine him cheating on me, but maybe he..."
"Mer, there has to be a local explanation. What is the picture?"
"I can't show you right now, I'm on my way home."
"Oh right. How far are you from home?"
"Not far I am fixing to go around the sharp curve and then I won't be far."
"Oh right I know where you are. Just call me when you get home."
"I... Ahhhhh!" Merida screams. All of sudden bright lights shine in her face. A car is in her lane. She serves to miss but ends up turning to quickly and her car rolls and she ends up in the ditch beside the road.
"Merida! Merida, are you there? What happened?"
Tiffany freaks out. The security see the car that caused her to wreck speed past them. They pull over and see her car down the bank in the ditch. They quickly call an ambulance they also call Chris.
After Merida doesn't answer Tiffany freaks out and speeds to where she knew Merida was. She finds Merida being put into an ambulance.
"Oh my gosh! Merida!" She says rushing over.
"Mam, I need to stand back."
"Is she okay?"
"She will be fine. We are taking her to the hospital."
Tiffany nods and then drives to the hospital. She gets there moments after the ambulance. She goes up to the desk and finds out what room she put into. She walks into the room and sees Merida. Merida looks awful. She has cuts all over her face.
"Merida," she says rushing over to the bed.
The nurse has just finished bandaging up her cut on her leg.
"Is she okay?"
"She will be. She is very lucky. She should be dead. Are you family?"
"I'm her best friend, but she's like my sister, so yes in a way."
"Well, I'm sure she will be glad you're here when wakes up."
"Wakes up?"
"Yes she is unconscious at the moment. But don't worry. She will be fine. I will be back to check on her." Then the nurse is gone.
"Oh Merida!"
Then Tiffany pulls out her phone. "I better call Chris. I don't know if anyone has."
It rings several times then the voicemail picks up. "Shit!" Tiffany hangs up. Hours later there is still no change. "Her father! Oh my gosh I need to call her dad."
"Tiffany! How nice to hear from you."
"Shawn, Merida is in the hospital."
"What! Why, what happened?"
"She was in a car accident. I am with her. I thought you should know."
"I am on my way!"
"Shawn."
"Yes?"
"You also need to know she is unconscious right now."
"What!"
"The nurse assured me she would wake up though."
"Alright. I will be there soon."
About 20 minutes later, Shawn arrives at the hospital. After telling the lady behind the desk who he was she told him what room. He walks into the room. Tiffany is sitting by her bed.
"Shawn."
"Is she awake yet?"
"No, not yet."
"Where is Chris? Why isn't he here?"
"He is in DC, Merida said he had meeting. I tried to call him but it went to voicemail."
Just then the door opens and Chris walks in.
"Chris!" Tiffany exclaims.
"Is she okay?" He asks rushing to the bed.
"She has not woken up yet."
Chris sits on the edge of the bed. He takes her hand. "Mer, babe, please wake up." He then reaches up and caresses her cheek.
"Hmmm." She moans.
"Babe!"
She opens her eyes and sees Chris. She jerks her hand away and looks over at Tiffany and then at her father.
"Babe, what's wrong? Why did you jerk your hand away."
Merida looks at Tiffany then looks away towards the door. Chris looks at Tiffany.
"What is going on?"
"I...she was..." Merida looks over at Tiffany.
"She was what? What happened?"
"She told me on her way home from work before she got into the wreck that right before she left work she got a message from someone telling her they thought she should know that her husband was cheating on her and sent her a picture."
"What! I'm not cheating on her!"
"I told her that, but..."
"What was the picture?" He asks looking over at Merida. Merida doesn't answer.
"Babe, please talk to me. What picture?"
"I can't show you. I don't have my phone."
"Maybe I can pull it up on my phone. You said it was Instagram right?"
Merida nods.
"I just need your password."
Merida gives Tiffany her password and she logs into her account on her phone. She pulls up her messages and sees the picture. "Oh shit!"
"What?" Chris asks.
Tiffany holds out her phone to Chris. Chris takes it and sees the picture.
"Babe, that is an old picture of me! That is one of my ex's from a long time ago."
"It is?"
"Yes. You know I would never cheat on you!"
"Chris I..."
"Babe, listen to me. I love you. I love you with all my heart. I would never ever cheat on you. I've told you that. Please trust me. Your my life."
Merida cries. Chris leans forward and wipes the tears from her eyes. "I'm sorry Chris. I'm sorry I always..."
"Hey, its okay. I'm not mad at you."
Merida nods. Chris leans forward and kisses her lips.
"Ouch!"
"Mer, what's wrong?"
"You leaned down on my leg."
Chris looks down. "Babe, what happened? What caused you to wreck? You're always so careful."
"Well, it was raining, dark and then I saw these bright lights. They were in my lane and when I swerved to miss them I ran off the road into a ditch off the bank. My car rolled and..."
"Oh babe."
"The nurse told me she was lucky to be alive." Tiffany says.
Chris looks over at Tiffany. Before he can say anything the nurse walks in.
"Oh Merida, you're awake, you gave us all a scare. How are you feeling sweetheart?"
"Hurting."
"I bet you are. I can give you something for the pain."
"Yes please."
"Okay I will be right back in a few minutes. Is there anything I can get you?"
"No thanks."
The nurse then leaves the room.
"I need to go. I am meeting Matt soon." Tiffany says.
"Okay, thanks Tiffany."
"You're welcome. I will come see you tomorrow if you're still here."
"I'm sure I will be."
"See you tomorrow."
Tiffany then leaves the room.
"Princess, I am so glad you're okay."
"Me too daddy."
"Do you think the person who caused you to wreck did it on purpose or accidental?"
"I don't know. It was dark and it was hard to tell. It all happened so fast."
"I'm sure. I'm just glad your okay. I will leave you two, but I will be back tomorrow. I love you princess."
"I love you too daddy."
Shawn leans down and kisses her head then leaves the room. Chris looks down at Merida.
"I was so worried. When the security called me and said you had been in a wreck, it felt like my heart stopped. I rushed out of my meeting and speed here as quickly as I could."
"Oh Chris. I'm sorry."
"Sorry? What are you sorry for? This isn't your fault."
"I know, but your meeting and..."
"Babe, that doesn't matter. All that matters is that you're safe. No matter what I'm always here for you. You know that. I've told you that."
"I know."
Just then the doctor walks in.
"Evening Merida. How are you feeling?"
"I'm okay."
"The nurse said you were in pain."
"Yes."
"I have some medicine for you."
He hands her a cup with two small pills. Chris hands her the cup of water by her bed. She takes the pills and then hands the cup back to Chris.
"I have some news I need to discuss with you."
"What kind of news? Please don't tell me that I won't be able to walk."
"No, nothing like that. Your scans show no broken bones. You will be sore for a few days, maybe a few weeks. You definitely need to take it easy for a few days, but I have some other news. After checking everything and looking at your blood work, it appears that you had been pregnant before the wreck and then the wreck caused you to mis carry."
"What!" Merida exclaims looking at him then looking at Chris.
"She was pregnant?"
"Yes. It looks like you were about 3 weeks."
"But how is that possible? I can't get pregnant!"
"Well you were. You need to rest. I will back in the morning to check on you." The doctor then left the room.
Merida then looks at Chris. "Chris, I was pregnant! Oh my gosh! I..."
Chris smiles. "I told you anything was possible. I told you not to give up."
"But..."
"So this means it is possible and we can try again, when you are ready."
"Well we just got married, so I..."
"Of course. I didn't mean now." Chris smiles.
Merida nods. "Get some rest babe." He says kissing her lips softly.
"Are you leaving?"
"No of course not. I am staying right here. I'm not going anywhere." Chris says taking her hand.
"Will you lie down with me?"
"Babe, I don't know if I should. I don't want to hurt you."
"You won't. Please."
Chris nods and lays down next to her. "Now get some sleep." He says kissing her head and laying down next to her and closing his eyes. It doesn't take long till he is asleep.
