With a dazzling burst of light, your summoning circle flickers as a figure begins to materialize with a golden glow. Soon, bright violet eyes meet yours.
âAre you my new witch?â the voice gasps, eyes sunny and smile toothy.
You give him an affirmative, which makes the light spirit seem to glow even brighter.
âOh! Iâm so excited!â he beams, bursting with sunlight and energy. He grabs your hands in his, warming up your skin. âIâll be the best familiar ever, promise!â
And he is a rather good familiar, doing everything you instruct without much protest or error. His upbeat attitude is really pleasant to be around, too.
The only catch is that he changes at night. When the sun goes down, basking him with moonlight instead of sunlight, his skin turns from gold and sunkissed to silver and moonkissed.Â
âDid he not tell you?â your new moonkissed familiar asks, referring to his sunny counterpart. âWhat a loser...â He eyes you up and down, before letting out a small huff. âI guess youâll do fine.â
Your moonkissed familiar is⌠more terse and sharp edged, his lips in a perpetual scowl. However, itâs evident that he doesnât really mind being yours â not with how he follows you around, helping you with the little things. And when you curl up at night to go to bed, heâs a comfortable pillow that lets you cuddle him close.
âItâs not fair,â your sunkissed companion complains when you awake with the sun. âHe gets to cuddle you? I wanna hold you too!â
Itâs really not your fault, but your sunkissed companion is too much like a puppy to take too seriously. So, instead, you allow him to hug you more, his hands clinging to you whenever they can.
âYouâre just lettinâ him touch you whenever?â your moonkissed companion asks when the moon is in its zenith. You give a curious look, which makes him scowl, his gaze flickering away. âIâm just sayinâ okay? Itâs not âcause Iâm jealous or something.â
Oh, so heâs jealous. Now that you think about it, youâre pretty sure your sunkissed companion was jealous, too.
Youâre really not sure what to make of this revelation, though. The last thing you expected was to be stuck in a love triangle between your⌠familiar? Familiars? Theyâre technically the same familiar, but theyâre also not, which is kind of complicated.
Well⌠itâs nothing to worry about, probably.
But oh, how wrong you are. As the days pass, that much is obvious.
âYou like me better, right?â your sunkissed familiar asks, suffocating you with his warmth. Heâs gotten clingier and clingier, smothering you with his presence.
âThereâs no way you like that dolt better,â your moonkissed familiar states, constantly hovering over you with his chill. You donât know if heâs aware of it or not, but youâve been getting less and less sleep with him around.
Nowadays, theyâre just⌠always around you. Day and night. Thereâs no escape, no room to breathe. Theyâre always there somehow, always watching.
Itâs driving you crazy. Maybe it is something to worry about. Maybe itâs for the best if you cancel the familiar contract.
âWhat?â your sunkissed familiar asks, eyes wide. âOh, no, no. Darling witch, why would you say that?â
As you feel him burn hotter, you quickly realize that bringing up the idea to him was a mistake.
After all, light spirits are notoriously powerful and youâre just a newbie witch. Thereâs no way you can control him unless he offers that control to you â you shouldâve realized that.
And, well, from the look in his eyes, it looks like heâs done letting you take charge.
âYouâre our witch, darling. For as long as the light shines.â

I get that some tropes can feel tiring to read, especially when it's a common trope in a genre (or even multiple genres), but something isn't bad just because it uses the trope. And writers likely aren't using it because they think it's the most realistic outcome. More likely, there's a thematic reason, but yeah this can all depend on how well said trope is implemented, or if the writer even realizes thematic reasons behind using said trope (b/c I'm aware there are writers who only write something for the aesthetic or b/c it's popular atm).
#which trope am i talking about? pick one thereâs often a few being complained about on this site at any given time#the one that prompted this post tho#was one complaining how it's unrealistic that in an actual apocalypse humans would turn on each other#when#often in post-apocalyptic and dystopian (b/c there's usually overlap w these 2 genres) stories#the big theme is often commentary on society TODAY#something this kind of trope could be commenting on?#oh idk how about ultra individualism (anti-maskers are a good example)#or maybe an us vs them mentality#that's a very common thing dystopians (from what i remember when i used to read them) would comment on#(tho again how well the commentary got across varied book/series to book/series)#love triangles are also a common trope that gets harped upon but i'm tired and in pain rn so i'm going to rest#the curtains are blue

pleaseee anything angsty with bombshell!reader and spencer!! love you
love you!
When Jason Gideon dies, itâs alone with his murderer. Isolated from friends and family, years after you last heard from him. Spencer hasnât spoken to him since he left, and yet the ruin on his face when itâs confirmed to be Gideon churns your stomach.Â
He rushes out of the room.Â
You look at Gideon, dead, and regret that you never got along. You barely knew him. So when Derek leaves to follow Spencer out, you donât go with them, thinking Derek has better common ground.Â
âYou okay?â you ask Hotch quietly.Â
He nods, solemn. âDo you want to go check on Reid?â he asks, equally hushed.Â
âI think Morgan has it for now.â You turn away from Gideon. You donât want to see him dead, itâs too scary when itâs someone you know. It reminds you that it couldâve been you, or Spencer.Â
You donât find time to speak to your poor bookworm until later that night when youâve been forced to retire in dinky motel rooms. You and Spencer used to share because you were the only person normal enough not to complain when he infodumps, and because you were fond of him. Then because you were best friends, and now because youâre in love. How lucky youâve been.Â
Heâs always had it rough, though.Â
Youâd asked him multiple times throughout the day if he was okay, and every now and then heâd nodded or sniffled, but now heâs alone with you his facade fades completely, and you want to have a real talk.Â
His shoulders rock. You reach out for him. He breaks for the bathroom.Â
âSpencer?â you ask, startled.Â
The door shuts hard between you, frame shaking.
âSpencer, are you okay?âÂ
You cross the brown carpeting to grab the handle. You pause there, heart dropping as the weak sound of muffled sobbing reaches your ears. âSpencer,â you say, soft, and without any teasing. Youâre capable of seriousness sometimes. âSweetheart, are you okay?âÂ
âCan I be alone?â he asks.
He sounds strained.Â
âIâd rather you werenât. I donât know what youâll do.âÂ
âWhat?â he asks.Â
âPeople do strange things when theyâre upset. I just want to be with you, thatâs all.âÂ
âIâm fine,â he says shortly.Â
Youâd be offended, but like you said. People do strange things when theyâre upset, and this is worse than just being upset. This is grief. Intangible, cruel. Spencer has a history of doing things that arenât good for him when heâs hurting. Youâve no interest in leaving him alone.Â
âSpencer⌠I love you. I want to be near you.â
Your straight-forwardness pays off.Â
âOkay,â he says. âItâs not locked.âÂ
Thatâs reassuring. You open the door, find him standing at the sink with his cheeks wet with thick tears. He crumples when he sees you, hiding his face in his hands.Â
Youâre not sure what to do. Loving someone, you tend to love all of them, and youâve yet to find parts of Spencer you couldnât adore, but he just lost somebody important to him and you have no idea how to handle it. You decide to try, whether jumping into it will do any good or not. You walk right into his chest and hug him.Â
âSorry,â you murmur, âI love you. Iâm so sorry.âÂ
âItâs okay.â He takes a shaky, odd breath, like he might laugh. He tries to as he holds your shoulders. âGod, itâs okay, donât be sorry.âÂ
âI am. Itâs not fair. I never want you to lose anyone.âÂ
He presses his lips into a hard line and nods, prompting tears down his cheeks one after the other. âItâs okay.âÂ
Itâs not okay. Spencer cries and you watch him, his hands weak on your shoulders. His hair is greasy at the roots from all the heat of being upset, his face pink, his eyes swollen and sore. His lashes are sticking together in dark triangles, while his sclera turns bloodshot. Itâs clear that today has been extremely hard on him, and you shouldâve done more. âI shouldâve come after you, Iâm sorry. I thought Morgan would have a better chance at making you feel better.â You wipe his cheeks, and tuck lank hair behind his ears. âI need you to know Iâm here for you.âÂ
Heâs putting on a brave face, slowly but surely. âI know that.âÂ
âListen, do you want to shower?â you ask.Â
âI want to sit down forever.âÂ
âWeâll shower first. Iâll come in with you, alright? We can wash your hair, the warm water will be good for your eyes.â You frown sympathetically. âYouâve cried all day.âÂ
âI canât believe heâs gone. I wish Iâd tried harder to see him. To talk to him again.âÂ
âYou can⌠I know itâs not the same, but you can tell me. Anything you wanted to say to him, Iâll listen. You can tell me everything.âÂ
He nods again. More brave face, more unnerving, fake smile.Â
You run your hands down his hair, and use your hands to tilt his head forward gently. âYou can be alone if you really want to, but I just canât have that closed door. You understand?âÂ
âNo, I want to shower with you.â He sniffs. âSorry if I scared you.âÂ
âItâs not scary.â You curl your arm behind his neck to pull him in for a careful hug. You hold him without moving, relieved when he holds you back, though his hands are limp where theyâd usually be rubbing at your shoulders. âIt wasnât scary, I mean. I didnât mean to suggest youâd do something, but I think the last thing you should be right now is alone. Thanks for letting me stay.âÂ
He breathes in your neck. âThis is nice.âÂ
You bend back to encourage him further into your arms. âYouâre doing so well,â you murmur, rubbing his back in a slow stroke, âyou can get through this. Weâll do right by him, I promise. Youâre not alone.âÂ
âI used to feel it. He was the first person who⌠really looked out for me, before he left.â Spencer sniffles, glassy eyes softening where he looks down at you. âNobodyâs ever stayed with me. No one.âÂ
âWell, Iâm not going anywhere.âÂ
He sniffles again. âI know⌠Will you still shower with me?âÂ
âMm-hm. Wash your hair for you, if you want me to.âÂ
âPlease.âÂ
âCosts a kiss,â you say softly.Â
âYou want one from me right now?â he asks. Heâs joking, because he knows you always want one.Â
Your spirits finally begin to recuperate. âPlant one on me, handsome⌠only if you want to.âÂ
He turns away from you to wipe his face, both of you laughing, him wetly, you in relief. Both with a little bit of guilt. Maybe because life goes on without the people who pass, and that will always feel wrong.Â
He turns back to you. Sadness darkens his eyes, but he closes them and leans down tentatively to kiss you.Â
You take his soft one, borrow a firmer one, and wrap him up in another hug. Love you, love you, love you, you think. Youâre going to make sure that heâs okay.Â

Hi!! I love love love your Finnick fics. I saw your requests are open and thought I would try one!
I was thinking reader and Finnick reuniting in either District 13 or after in the capitol when the rebels have taken it over. It could be a separation due to an Annie situation or something different. No worries if this doesnât sound interesting to you! đ¤
thanks for your request! I absolutely love the district 13 reunion trope, but I had never read one based in the Capitol before so I decided to give that one a try. I hope I did it justice!
Finnick Odair x fem!reader who he will always find [1.5k words]
CW: potentially ooc Finnick BUT I did it on purpose because I think his unyielding loyalty and sense of duty is what ultimately killed him so SUE ME for making him selfish just ONCE đ, angst with a happy ending
Everything Finnick had endured and smiled through since his own Games back at merely 14 years old had been for the benefit of others. The only thing he has ever done for himself was survive his games; and that was more out of desperation and instinct than it was out of any sense of pride. He dressed for the Capitol, he performed for the Capitol, he sold himself to the Capitol in order to keep his family and loved ones safe, he showed up every year in order to give other children a fighting fucking chance to survive their own games, he agreed to protect the Mockingjay for the rebellion, he sacrificed his oldest and dearest friend for their cause and almost lost another.Â
He did his best to make another district feel like home even though his heart had quite literally been ripped away from him, all for the benefit of the cause, and even joined their army.Â
Today, Finnick had one thing he needed to do for himself. And anyone who found fault with that could, quite frankly, suck his dick.Â
âFinnick?â Katniss asks, looking up from the electronic map on the Holo in front of her. âWere you listening?âÂ
Finnick watches Galeâs jaw tighten at his lack of attention and fights against an eyeroll of his own. That was yet another thing Finnick had been doing as of late: playing mediator for this godawful love triangle.Â
âUhm, listen,â Finnick starts, looking around at the faces of squad 451, âIf I get the chance, Iâll meet back up with the rest of you at the president's mansion, okay?âÂ
âWhoa, whoa, whoa.â Gale starts, standing from his crouched position, prompting Finnick to do the same. âLike hell youâre taking off; the plan was to stick together.â
âThe plan was to film propos; that plan has changed, and before I go any further, I have someone I need to find.âÂ
âFinnick���â Katniss starts, tone dripping with pity as she follows him when he takes a few steps backwards and away from the group. âWait!â
âIâve done my waiting, Katniss.â
âYou canât just leave!â She calls, prompting him to turn back towards her.
âYou got Peeta back!â He nearly sobs, flinging an arm out towards said boy; slightly worse for wear yet still on his feet. âHeâs a little broken but heâs in there, Katniss. And even if he wasnât, at least you know heâs alive. I need to find my Peeta.â
Katniss lets out a sad sigh; eyes searching his face for any signs of hesitation. Finnick knew sheâd find none. âShe wasnât with the others; what if sheâs already gone?â
Gone. She meant dead. What if you were already dead?
âI would happily die next to her, Katniss. But I wonât die for a movement that means nothing if sheâs not here with me.â
Finnick ignores the heat of tears lining his cheeks as he watches Katniss recall how she very nearly gave up on the entire cause herself when she found out Peeta had been taken by the Capitol from the arena.Â
Well, Katniss referred to it as left behind, but Peeta was snatched; you were left behind.Â
đ đ đ
âListen, we had little time to react; the moment came upon us faster than anyone anticipated and she was nowhere to be found, Odair. I looked; I searched for her, but Plutarch said we had to go.â Haymitch had explained to him.
âI protected YOUR MOCKINGJAY.â Finnick had screamed. âI protected her at the cost of Mags and Johanna. I protect Katniss, you protect my girl; that was the deal.â
âFinnick-â
âThat was the deal, and you LEFT HER BEHIND!?âÂ
đ đ đ
Finnick had gotten violent, and not on purpose. He had to be sedated for three days after that, and they considered doing it again after Peeta was aired by the capitol, but you and Johanna werenât. He was sedated again after Peeta and Johanna were rescued from the Capitol, but you were not.Â
He was officially back in your last known whereabouts. He didnât know if heâd find you, but he had to look.Â
âWeâŚâ Finnick starts as he takes a deep breath, wiping the tears from his face before turning his attention back to someone he had come to consider a friend. âWe had somewhereâŚthat we would meet. No one else knew of it, it was safe; if sheâs here, I just-â
But Katniss simply nods. âYou have to try.â
âI have to try.â He parrots.
Katnissâ eyes flicker between Finnickâs before she suddenly embraces him; the act seemingly shocking both Finnick and herself as he tentatively returns the embrace.Â
âBe careful.â
Finnick tries to laugh as he pats her on the back before pulling away. âYou be careful; youâre the one theyâre all after.â
âWeâll see you out there?â She asks as he backs away.Â
Finnick nods. âLook out for one another, yeah?âÂ
With one final wave - Peeta offering a cautious one of his own while everyone else (save Gale) waved back - Finnick began his journey to the last spot he could possibly hope for you to be.
You itched to leave; to look for him. He was here; after all these weeks he was actually here.
Youâd managed to take off early on in the chaos and confusion following the arena being blown up; heart breaking yet simultaneously leaping at the sight of Plutarchâs hovercraft taking off without you, knowing they were going to go rescue your boy.
You let that knowledge be enough as you fought to put enough space between you and the peacekeepers tasked with finding you.Â
You managed to overtake two of them, slipped into one of their uniforms and stole their weapons before going to the last place you could think that might possibly be safe; the last place you could think that Finnick might possibly find you.Â
The radios youâd pilfered from the peacekeepers alerted you to rebel presence a few days ago, and it was later confirmed that a team including three victors - the Mockingjay, Peeta, and Finnick - were here.Â
Here.Â
You paced a hole in the floor as you considered your options. The city was large, dangerous, and youâd have to stay hidden; if he saw what appeared to be a peacekeeper approaching him, heâd have to kill you.Â
But you could be sitting here indefinitely if you simply waited for him. What if he was in danger? What if he needed you? What if you could help?
Your spiralling was interrupted by a quiet knock on the makeshift door.Â
There was a reasonable - perhaps hopeful - part of you that knew if it was a peacekeeper or other rebel forces, they wouldnât have bothered knocking or alerting you to their presence.Â
But years of violence and conflict found you pulling the neckguard of your stolen uniform over your mouth and nose - leaving your eyes and hair exposed - as you moved in the direction of the door with your weapon raised.Â
Before you have a moment to react, the door swings open quickly and you are face to face - or, rather, gun to gun - with the love of your life.Â
âFinnick?â You whisper, keeping your gun raised as Finnick lowers his own and looks at you with an expression mixed with grief and unadulterated relief.Â
âHi, sweetheart.â He lets out with a soft sob, and your gun falls to the ground with a clatter as you throw yourself at him.Â
He catches you; of course he catches you.Â
âI canât believe youâre here.â You nearly sob as he lowers the two of you to the ground; overwhelmed with emotions, his legs give out on him as he keeps you pressed tight against his torso. âI canât believe it. Oh my god.â
Youâre nearly keening as you alternate between pressing as many kisses to Finnickâs lips, cheeks, jaw, head - anything you can get your lips on, really - sobbing, and nearly strangling him with the desperation of your embrace.Â
âI found you, I found youâ Finnick chants like a prayer. âI canât believe I found you. Oh, honey, Iâm so sorry. Iâm so sorry.â
Youâre quickly shaking your head as you take hold of his face between your hands. âYou donât have to be sorry; you did exactly what you were supposed to.â
âThey left you behind.â He cries.Â
âThey saved you.âÂ
He shakes his head but doesnât argue, simply lowering his forehead to yours as his hands trail up and over your arms, sliding up your neck and then back down again as though he canât help but touch every single part of you.Â
âI canât believe youâre here.â You repeat again. âI canât believe you found me.â
âI will always find you.â He insists, pulling your face from where you try shoving it into his neck only to hold it in front of him as he stares at you imploringly. âDo you hear me? I will always find you. I will always find you.âÂ
âI know, Finn.â You agree. âI know you will.â

Giving Bill Cipher the princess treatment prompt or hc's? (Bill totally isn't threatening Reader's entire family if they don't princess carry him and call him babygirl) I love how you write Bill by the way!
Warning: unhealthy relationship stuff and threats from bill.
After everything that went down with sixer and his supposed âbetrayalâ bill didnât think heâd find an another puppet companion so soon until one day he came across poor unfortunate you.
Some half baked sob stories of his origins and looking through his fingers at you to make sure you were feeling sympathy for him later, and you were effectively under his thumb by the end of the week. The quickest heâs ever manipulated someone into feeling sorry for him yet!
Now you were stuck forced to carry him in your arms whenever he wished and calling himâŚbaby girlâŚwhy you never bothered to ask as whenever you did raise things into question with Bill it usual turns out something like this:
You: donât you think thatâs a little extreme?
Bill: and here I thought you were suppose to be supportive of my dreams and aspirations. Oh well I guess you didnât need your family that much if youâre quick to question me-
You: No! Itâs a brilliant plan! No flaws at all! Youâre so smartâŚbaby girlâŚ
Bill: *smirks when you fall back in line* good now I demand to be carried in your arms *he gives you grabby hands*
You: *sigh* yes baby girl *proceeds to pick him up and carry him for the rest of the day*
Youâd even have to call Bill baby girl when your mad unless you wanted the corpses of your family to be piled up on your front door!
It was ridiculous but what could you do when stuck in a less than ideal relationship with a demonic triangle who could bring you to heel with a simple click of his fingers? You were doomed to be his servant for the sake of your family and even if you did go to anyone about it, whoâd believe you? Youâd be the new old man Mcgucket for certain.
So you only sigh and do whatever Bill wanted in hopes it will satisfy him enough to leave your family alone, even if it was brief.
The worst case scenario would be If bill saw that you werenât being enthusiastic in your affection towards him, then that would be a harder thing to dig your way out of. It didnât matter whether you were tired mentally or physically, if Bill wanted to be carried in your arms he will want you to do so with a complicit smile on your face.
Bill: you donât look happy to be carrying me? *squints his eye*
You: *quickly puts on a fake smile* what?! Iâm more than happy to carry my baby girl! Itâs the only highlight of my day, nothing could ever compete with spending time with my baby girl!
Bill: good! For a second there I thought youâd have to be attending a family members funeral for a moment. Haha guess I mustâve been seeing things, right? *he stares uncomfortably at you*
You: yeah because how could I ever show you any other emotion other than happiness and love. *internally dying*
Bill: also donât over compliment me, it makes you look clingy and I donât like clingy.
You internally: as if you arenât clingy yourself you fucking discarded sentient Dorito chip.
Itâs better to keep playing his game until he inevitably grows bored of you, and god forbid if you ever encounter Stanford Pines ever, your family is certain for destruction if Bill caught you talking to his traitorous ex partner. (Potential for Stanford x reader?)
Needles to say if you were to ever be granted the ability to time travel, youâd go back and warn yourself to not trust Bill Cipher, not if you want your familyâs blood on your hands just because you didnât call him Babygirl first thing in the morning.
You: morning bi-
Bill: whichever family member your love the most will die in 5 seconds if you donât correct yourself sweetie.
You: morning babygirl, what should we do today?
Bill: *pats you on the shoulder* that wasnât so hard was it? And I donât feel like doing anything that requires me to part from you for suspicious periods of time incase you do something I donât like. *stares at you menacingly*
You: good choice! All day with my babygirl? Iâm so luckyâŚso extremelyâŚ.lucky. *looks over at the photo of your family and friends* blessed evenâŚ
Bill: you sure are! Now why donât you carry me! *grabby hands 2.0*

mommy's girl
For @stevieweek day 4 (sorry Iâm late!) Special Outfit and extra prompts, Scoops/uniform, lingerie & @steddiemicrofic July prompt, âoneâ. Â Rating: M WC 1,111 words. CW: None.
Tags: trans-fem Stevie Harrington, steddie, no upside down au, angst and feels, platonic stobin, steve has an awesome mom and not-so-awesome dad (also, faintly based on some RL experiences belonging to my other half... used with permission and love ;)) All my ST fic on AO3
Summary: Stevie makes a new beginning, and itâs all super-overwhelmingâŚ
âŚ
Stevie was fumbling in her purse for her car-keys. Her mom hurried from the porch with yesterdayâs mascara bleeding from her eyes and her hair tumbling from its pins:
âStevie! You forgot your name-badge.â
âGotta love company policy,â griped Stevie. At least the dumb thing now said âStevie.â Her mom pinned it on her Scoops uniform above her padded braâpart of a slinky set Eddie gifted her last time he came home from tour. Eddie was next due back today, which was something to look forward to after the previous nightâs trauma.
âYou gonna be okay, mom?â asked Stevie. âIf you need me, Iâll call in sick.â
âNo. This is day one of the rest of our lives. Your fatherâs finally gone for good. I need to start untangling our affairs.â
âAnd I finally get to go to work in a miniskirt.â Stevie glanced at her thigh-kissing skirt. She loved it, but⌠Shit, too much was happening.
His mom had booted her father out for a billion reasons. However, his constant gaslighting of Stevie being Stevieâand her dating âthat lowlife Munson punkââhad sparked last nightâs apocalyptic standoff. âLook, Iâm sorry it was me thatââ
âDonât you dare apologise.â Her mom placed her hands on Stevieâs shoulders. âIâm so proud of you, darling. You got a job you enjoy, a boyfriend who adores you, and you always look a billion dollars.â
âIn this shitty uniform?â
âEven in that.â
âStill not wearing the lousy hat.â
Breaking the news about her father to Robin meant Scoops opened half an hour late. Then, when Stevie leaned down to pull up the shutter, Robin yelled: âScrew you, Shit-bird, that skirt looks too good, and your ass looks too pretty, and I despise you.â
âYou wear a skirt then. You could start a douchey scoreboard for who gets more creepy stares.â
âYou know I hate skirts.â
âQuit whining then.â
Bantering with Robin couldnât distract Stevie from her tiredness and nerves. When her mind started screaming, she focussed on the cling of her skirt, the glide of the silk panties beneath. Eddie would be here soon. Eddie would go crazy for herâŚ
Robin took the phone message. Eddieâs flight was cancelled. He wouldnât be home till tomorrow.
Dammit, Stevie needed him now.
She was wiping down a table, when she heard a snicker. A devastating mean-girl stare slammed into her.
Right at crotch level.
Stevie glanced down.Â
Oh. Shit.
Robin found her at the back of the store, slumped forward on the table, face pillowed in her arms. âStevie? You okay?â
âNo.â Stevie jumped up and pointed to the middle-front of her skirt. At the bulge. âLook.â
âHuh?â
 âYou see? Itâs Mr⌠Miss Pokey.âÂ
Robin shrugged. âOnly if you squint.â
Stevie swiped her lank-feeling hair from her face. Her hands trembled. âIâve not even gotten an erection or anything. Everyoneâs staring.â
âTheyâre not.â
âThey are! I loved these panties, but the silk triangle at the front bunches everything forward andâŚâ Suddenly, it was all super-overwhelming. What the heck was she⌠HE⌠doing? Heâd wrecked his parentsâ marriage. Eddie was probably lying about the flight to avoid him. âJesus, I look horrible. Iâll put the shorts back on.â
âDonât you dare.â Robin shoved a banana across the table. âEat that. Youâre cranky when youâre hungry.â
âIt doesnât solveââ
âNo, it doesnât. I have an idea what will.â
âŚ
âItâs too weird not having to shit myself about your Pa taking pot-shots at me,â said Eddie, when Stevie led him into her bedroom. It was stacked with boxesâher mom had already got the decorators in. âGot you a lilâ something, Babe.â
Eddie presented a crepe-paper parcel. Stevie smiled tightly and sat on the bed to unwrap. It was gonna be more underwear, but her confidence was so shattered thatâŚ
She held up the swathe of peachy cotton and white lace. âYou got me granny pants?â
Eddie beamed and Stevie couldnât help giggling.
âJesus, did Robin call you? Or my mom?â
She stripped off and pulled them on, loving how Eddie lapped her up with his thirsty gaze. Stevie couldnât keep her own eyes from the mirror. The panties pressed her in slightly in the front, perfect for a mini-skirt or figure-hugging dress. Eddie swept her hair from where it dusted her shoulders and hooked her matching bra. He trailed kisses down the sweep of her neck, each sending a delicious shimmer down her spine, then twirled her around.
âI love them, Eddie.â
âMe too, honey. You look amazing. I couldâve got ones that pad at the hips but with your teeny waistâŚâ He traced it lightly. She shivered with pleasure. âNah, donât need it.â
âCanât believe Iâm feeling hot in big panties.â She leaned back into his embrace, dizzied by the weird relief of the moment. It was no way as epic as her father having finally gone, butâŚÂ
âShall I order a dozen, Stevie?â
âHell, yeah.â
They both tumbled sideways onto her bed. âCool, Babe. Letâs get you outta them.â
They took it slow, kissing till he was wearing her lipstick. Then he set her squirming, her fists clenching his hair, as he nibbled around the cute lace at the trim of her panties, before slipping his fingertips teasingly beneath. Slowly, he peeled her free. Stevie hadnât waxed today, but that was fine, because hairy was what she was sometimes, and Eddie, as he whispered again and again, worshipped her every way she was.
They made love, fixing deep in each otherâs eyes. Stevieâs panties looped her thigh like a slinky garter.
âŚ
It was a week later when Stevie, for the first time since her father left, found her mom crying. She was hanging out the washing on the line.
âMom, what is it?â She hurried over, and yes, her momâs eyes were teary. And she was laughing. âMom?â
Her mom reached up and brushed knuckles down Stevieâs cheek. âDonât worry about me, darling. Iâm happy.â She nodded at Stevieâs new panties. âThey remind me of my gym kit. You know, the good old cheerleading days. Never marry a Jock, darling.â
âWasnât on planning on it.â
âEddie really is the one, isnât he?â
Stevieâs heart panged with happiness and sadness at once. âStill time for you to find your one and only, mom.â
They pegged the rest of the washing up together: âGotta ask, momâdid you want a daughter?â
âI only ever wanted you, Stevie,â she said, then, slightly crossly: âBut if your long-haired loverâs late for family dinner again, Iâll kick his ass back on tour.â
âMom!â Stevie pitched a sock, which her mom neatly caught. âDonât be mean.â
They were both laughing. Life felt pretty good.

And the prompts for KakaSaku Week 2024: Falling For You are live! Come explore our favorite couple in different seasons of love. Each day has two prompts to choose from to go along with the theme for the day, taken from unused trope of the month prompts suggested by the lovely members of our discord and other suggestions from the mods.
Feel free to fulfill one or both of each day's prompts. Fics, art, moodboards, songs, we want to see them all! (It's understood that some of these may require a little more explanation, so see below the cut for details.)
Have questions? Want to brainstorm with others? Need to gush about KakaSaku in general? Send us an ask.... or come join our Discord! We're open for ONE WEEK starting today, ending next Saturday (9/07), approximately 10 AM EST.
CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE SCARECROWS AND CHERRY BLOSSOMS DISCORD!
Falling For You Prompts (November 10-16, 2024)
Day 1-Slowly, Then All At Once
(Think about how a leaf falls from a tree, slowly, then quickly once it touches the ground. Kinda like a good slow burn romance that hits you with the feels once the characters realize that ohâthey're in love)
đ¸Fake Dating
đşGods and Mortals
Day 2-Forbidden Love
(Give me your best Montagues vs Capulets, enemies to lovers, Twilight, power imbalance dynamic, star crossed lovers etc. scenarios you can think of!)
đ¸ Forced Proximity
đş Secrets
Day 3-Unrequited
(The angst, the heartbreak, the crying that happens in the midnight hours when one has an unrequited love. Sometimes it's not as unrequited as one thinks, but who's to say we'll ever know? đ)
đ¸ Blind Date
đş "oh my god they were roommates"
Day 4-It's Always Been You
(There better be so much pining a forest has sprouts in the background of the love story shown. Is the pining mutual but of course they don't know it? One sided?)
đ¸ Hanahaki Disease
đş Firsts
Day 5-Accidentally In Love
(Think Shrek. Someone you're not supposed to fall in love with, or they were never supposed to be on your radar to begin with. Marriages/relationships of convenience, if we're not married by 35 let's marry each other! type situations.)
đ¸ Fears
đş Love Letters
Day 6-Second Chances
(What if Kakashi and Sakura were exes? How do they get their second chance romance? Or they were almost lovers but circumstances ripped them apart and now here they are with another chance?)
đ¸ Biggest Fan
đş Love Triangle
Day 7-5+1
(Remember all those fics about the five times a character did something or didn't do something and then the one time they did? Yeah? Well this is that. ie the fives times they almost kissed and the one time they did, or the five times they lied and the one time they didn't, etc. The possibilities are endless!)
đ¸ Gift
đş There was only one bed

âLet You Break My Heart Againâ - Javier âJaviâ x Kate Carter & F! reader (angst songfic)
I WAS LISTENING TO LAUFEY ON REPEAT AND REMINDED OF MY HIGH SCHOOL LOVE TRIANGLE SO WHY NOT WRITE A FIC ABOUT IT!!! HERE YOU GO!
part two
prompt: your heart belonged to javi, but his belonged to kate.
TW: unrequited love, angst, crying, swearing, mentions of death, suicidal thoughts (happens thrice), loss of appetite more than once, breakdowns, mention of throwing up.
Feeling kind of sick tonight
All I've had is coffee and leftover pie..
Today was just the worst. Shitty day at work, your in-charge was being a sweetheart to everyone except you, itâs like the whole world was playing a cruel joke on you today.
With no will to eat, you mindlessly looked in your fridge, the cool air and cool glow hitting your skin. Your eyes skimmed through something to hopefully make your feel better, and your eyes landed on a small glass Tupperware.
Peach cobbler pie.
You sighed, taking it out of the fridge and setting it on the counter, brewing some black coffee. The paperwork you had been procrastinating on started to pile up, and you had some weather reports due tomorrow. You needed the bitter drug, the pie there to balance the taste with its tender sweetness.
You were tender once; you were sweet onceâŚ
Itâs no wonder whyâŚ
Life became hard and bitter once you moved away.
Well, did you have a reason to stay?
After that EF5, after holding onto Kate in that underpass for dear life, making sure she didnât get sucked into that twister, Javi found you two and called the cops to help you both out.
Thing is, you always knew Javi had a thing for Kate. Even when she was dating Jeb, you saw the way he looked at her, the same way youâd look at him. And Kate didnât ignore those looks of his, nor did she not notice themâŚ
Ooh, still you take up all my mindâŚ
You almost confided in Addy or Praveen about your feelings. You loved Javier. Ever since you both got super close in college. Ever since heâd always treat you like a good friend would. You ran on this high, you chased to be in his line of sight, craved his attention⌠You were soft, you were tender, you were sweet. You wanted to be it all, for him.
I don't even think that you care like I do
You were known as the âray of sunshineâ or the âsweetheartâ in your friend group because you were just so nice. Mostly in the hopes of wooing Javier whenever you could. Make him think what it would be like to date you. Part of you loved to see his smile, loved the âthank youâs heâd give you, collecting them like shiny rocks. You usually found them on your morning walks, giving one to Javi whenever you thought heâd like them. But he just put them in his bag and forgot about them a few days later.
I should stop, heaven knows I've triedâŚ
Days in college were spent fantasizing about him; about the way his arms would feel around you. He rarely hugged you. 3 times, to be exact - on his birthday, the day you both passed your finals, and when he found you were okay after the EF5. You couldnât help but want to call him, text him, but what would you say?
And if he really wanted to talk to you, why didnât he already? Itâs been 5 years since you both have exchanged a word. 5 years since you two have seen each otherâs faces. you had changed since college, no doubt. your hair was different; layered. Your style changed a little bit too, you wore makeup to work, in the hopes of being treated differently. You looked prettier with makeup on, anyways. Just a little highlighter, mascara, blush⌠nothing too overboard. Part of you dolled yourself up in the hopes of running into Javi in the streets somehow.
âI should stopâ you thought to yourself as you got ready one day for work. You stared at your reflection, not knowing what you were looking for. Sighing, you finished up your makeup, surrendering to beautification, heading off to work.
âSomeoneâs here for you in the conference roomâ a co-worker told you. You gave them a confused look, walking to the conference room, to meet a familiar mop of curly hair - a lot shorter now, and the man you loved in a suit. Javier Rivera.
Of course he convinced you to come back to chasing storms. Of course he said itâll be almost like the old times. Of course Kate was coming too.
You wanted to say no, you wanted to say you couldnât, but he came all the way to look for you; once tender and sweet. The prospect of someone looking for you was something you dreamed of since you were an angsty teen. The prospect of someone caring about you enough to come backâŚ
At least you tried to decline.
One day, I will stop falling in love with you
Some day, someone will like me like I like youâŚ
The drive to Oklahoma was meant to be awkward. It meant to be tense. It meant to be hard on Javi. To make him feel bad. For you to act all pouty and mean just because you could. Just so you could if not tell, show him how hurt you were when he just disappeared.
But when he started to smile, crack jokes, retell stories, you couldnât help but be nice in return. The rushing feelings came back, and for a moment, you forgot about Kate. You forgot about life being bitter and hard. All you remembered was being sweet and tender, because with Javi, it was familiar. It was natural. It felt like home.
Every soft look from Javi made you fall harder for him. To be treated like he once did to you. Friends. Best friends.
You both drove to Oklahoma, which wasnât too far exactly, and he offered if you wanted to go out for dinner with him and Kate.
You wanted to be hard and bitter again.
As you and Javi went into a local diner near a motel, you both saw Kate sitting in a booth, waving to you. Or so you thought - she was looking Javi in the eye, who had a grin on his face. He sat in the booth with Kate, opposite to you. They both smiled at each other, and you wanted to be swallowed by the same EF5 your friends left in, because maybe, just maybe, Javi would have cared more about you if you were dead.
Until then, I'll drink my coffee, eat my pie
Pretend that we are more than friendsâŚ
â⌠just some coffee and peach cobbler pie, pleaseâ you flashed the waiter a warm, tired smile. You didnât look at Javi or Kate, rather traced the wooden table, stared out the window, faked a yawn, bounced your leg.. of course they didnât say anything to you. They had their little side conversation.
As your face was turned a 90 degree angle from the two, from the corner of your eye, you saw Kate squeeze Javiâs bicep. You downed a mouthful of coffee, coughing after. Javi handed you a tissue, not sparing you a glance as he laughed at something Kate said.
Suddenly you have no appetite.
Then, of course, I'll let you break my heart again
You put your head down on the table, Kate glanced at the mop of hair on the table
âHey, you doinâ okay?â she asked softly, Javi looked at you for the first time during dinner.
âDo you feel sick?â He asked brows knitting in concern.
You shot up, rubbing your eyes. âYeah, this coffee made me feel sick.â Javi looked at your basically untouched pie, but empty cup of coffee, and back into your rosy eyes.
âGet some rest, yeah?â Kate suggested. Javi nodded. You sighed.
âYeah, okay. Goodnight, you twoâ you rubbed your face, giving them a small wave. They both smiled softly, waving back.
As you reached the exit, you looked over your shoulder as much as you didnât want to, and saw the two smiling and laughing again.
With a heavy heart, you checked into your motel, took a sip of water to calm your body down, and with one glance in the mirror, you broke down; crying yourself to sleep, with tears staining your face and your pillows, the land of rest took you in for the night.
I'm just tryna understand what I am to you
More than songs, we've exchanged
Midnight calls, sunset views
Over the next few days, you spent them chasing with Storm Par. Of couse Javi went with Kate. She had more genius than you did, apparently, even though you two were both equally smart.
Javi talked to you that morning, his charming grin greeting you along with the early morning sun.
âDandy weather, yeah?â he nudged you, trying to get you to cheer up. You rewarded his efforts with a small, half hearted smile.
You both had a pretty genuine chat, just like in college, until Kate joined you two. Then again, you were invisible. And the tension between the two was as strong as a supercell. You were obviously hurt, because your time in college was so much⌠richer. Late at night after curfew, you two would sneak out because you two were the only ones up for that kinda stuff. Youâd go to the roof, stay up there talking all night then watch the sunrise together. Now, the only one he orbited was Kate, Kate, Kate.
Then, it was time to chase.
You paired up with Scott instead, being a little emotionless that day, and gave him a respectful nod of acknowledgement. The chase was silent apart from the orders coming from the radio. No conversation was initiated - you didnât wanna have another breakdown.
For the first chase, which failed because Kate had a PTSD attack, you saw Javi comfort her after they got back to the motel; The sky was now dark, every storm chaser had a bonfire up, the atmosphere was enough to heal Kate alone, but of course, Javi was there for her too.
Your heart clenched. You remembered how hard you cried last night, almost suffocating against the sheets many times. The room was dull, taunting, and the only thing who could have helped you in that moment was Javi. But why would he see your pain and not Kateâs first?
You all gathered around the bonfire - the Storm Par crew, some other group called the Tornado Wranglers, some local chasers and what not. You saw the tall, orange fire. It looked inviting. Your breathing stilled, your body relaxed, your mind wandered.
You were disassociating, looking at everything from the 3rd person POV, the chasers in a circle around the fire, Kate and Javi next to each other a few seats away from you, talking like normal. You kept saying Javiâs name, yelling it, screaming it, but no matter what you did, he didnât even spare you a glance. So you looked behind, turning around, and saw the fire. Without a second glance at him, without thinking, you walked into the warm, welcoming flames, feeling it consume you, swallow you whole-
At the sound of everyone toasting to more twisters, you snapped out of your little morbid daydream. Looking over at Javi and Kate, you saw her leaning against his side, his arm around her waist, smiles on their faces. Kate whispered something into Javiâs ear, and he looked down at her with a grin. She cupped his cheek, your eyes stung, he leaned in, capturing her lips in a soft, romantic, kiss.
Promise I don't mean to cry
But I get overwhelmed and confused
If only you knew what I felt like
Your eyes stung, your bile rose in your throat, your lungs felt like they were collapsing and you wanted nothing more than to be disoriented, sedated, dead.
Breathing hard, you fled for the fields. Knocking over one of Javiâs beer bottles by accident, you speed walked, then ran to the backside of the motel, where there was a patch of grass. The surroundings were dark, the crickets seemed to taunt you, and your head was spinning. You needed more air than you could take in, your head had a dull, throbbing pain in it, you wanted to throw up, purge those feelings onto the soft grass.
You cried, covering your face and cried. Hard. Your whole body was stiff.
He kissed her
He kissed her. Oh he kissed her, he kissed her, he kissed her.
You didnât even hear the footsteps behind you. You didnât even register Javi running after you to check in on you.
âGod damnit, are you okay? Whatâs wrong?!â He panicked, not touching you, though he knew you loved physical touch.
Why would he, anyway? He had a girlfriend-
Kate Carter.
âLeave⌠me a-aloneâ you wheezed, hiding your face, curling into a ball onto the dirt.
âPleaseâ you begged, âI-I canât be down here, I need to go ho-homeâ you cried âit- itâs a family emergency.â you lied through your teeth. Of course he wouldnât question it. He didnât care enough to even look at you. Why would he question a pretty good reason?
Javi looked at you, his face concerned. He nodded.
âI- Okay, alright. Take care, (Y/N)â he said softly. Genuinely.
It took all your willpower not to launch yourself into his arms. But the thought that Kate had been in them more often than you did sickened you.
One day, I will stop falling in love with you
Some day, someone will like me like I like you
So you ran through the fields, ran until your lungs burned, until you were going to faint, running on nothing but peach cobbler pie and coffee since almost 24 hours ago.
Your legs gave out, and your hands embraced the ground below, seeking comfort from Mother Nature which nobody could give you. Your body was folded and like a wounded animal, you let out guttural, gut wrenching sobs. You wanted to unsee it, to pour Javiâs beer over your eyes, to gouge them out for their sockets.
âMake it stopâ you sobbed, choking on your saliva. âPlease, make it stopâ you prayed to the heavens above and the spirits below. You needed this to stop. The pain, the jealousy, the love to stop.
You fell asleep there in the field, Your breathing ragged, yet eventually even. You mumbled, whimpered, cried in your sleep. Seeing Javi kiss Kate. Seeing Javi hug Kate. Seeing Javi move in with Kate. Seeing Javi say âI love youâ to Kate, and Kate saying âI love youâ back. It was all Javi and Kate, Javi and Kate, Javi and KateâŚ
It wasnât until one of the Wranglers found you that you woke up.
âHey, itâs the girl from Storm Par!â The blonde man said to himself. You stirred, groaning.
âTyler Owens?â you blinked your eyes open, he offered you a hand, which you ignored and got up.
âWhatâre you doinâ out here in the fields?â He asked, chewing some wheat between his teeth.
You hesitated. âLong story, but if you can drive me to the train station, I think we have enough time to go over it.â you asked with a pleading look. âPlease, Tyler, one favourâ
Tyler sighed, giving up âSure. Thatâs what friends are forâ. You smiled, thanking him.
Then you both disappeared off to the train station at 6:35 in the morning, where Tyler was so kind to lend you a ride. You went over the whole story, since college to now. 5 years worth of internalized drama, not sparing a single detail; He nodded along, gave his animated reactions, gave his input and advice where necessary. And soon enough, you were at the train station.
âThanks for the ride, Tyler.â you thanked again, genuinely âand dont tell anyone about thisâ you said seriously, referring to the situation you described.
âScoutâs honourâ He gave you his flashy smile âTake care out there, cowgirlâ he chuckled. You nodded and smiled, grabbing your bag.
âYou tooâ
Until then, I'll drink my coffee, eat my pie
Pretend that we are more than friends
Then, of course, I'll let you break my heart again
Back at home, you delved back into work, relieved to be away from the new couple. Life was bitter and hard, accompanied by your peach cobbler pie; you never really got over Javi and Kate, you just tried forgetting about them. Whenever you read a romance book or watched some rom-com, you imagined the couples to be you and Javi. Sometimes, youâd dream of you and Javi together, as a couple.
But as you dreamed of this, a few states away, Kate was living your wished reality.

The Chain I
Relationship: Johnny Joestar x GN!Reader, minor Diego Brando x GN!Reader
Prompt: "Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies / Break the silence, damn the dark, damn the light."
Summary: You've known each other for so long, ever since you were kids. But after he's become so unrecognizable, you have to wonder if being chained to him is worth it anymore.
Rating: SFW
Word Count: ~3.5k
Notes: Childhood friends to haters to lovers later, no spoilers for part 7, BUT mentions of death/spoilers of Johnny's backstory. Slight love triangle for this chapter, Johnny being a major douche, angry fight at the end, minor swearing. This chapter takes place pre-part 7.
Taglist (message me or fill out the form in the pinned to be added!): @gingernut1314 @adeadcreator @starr-l1ghtt
Read on my AO3 here!
A/n: I got nothing to say besties I love causing Johnny pain!!!!
âNicholas, Johnny, remember that I have a guest coming over today. Can I ask that both of you remain on your best behavior?â George said sternly, a subtle warning that if the two acted up, there would be consequences to pay for it. The two boys agreed, back straight as they awaited the âguestâ.
George exhaled and uncrossed his arms. âYou two will not need to be in the study when they come by. My friend has a young child, around your age, Johnny. I expect that you two will treat them properly.âÂ
George didnât wait for a response, walking away to prepare himself. Nicholas and Johnny glanced at each other, wide, eager smiles on their face as they thought about who theyâd see.Â
When the âguestsâ finally arrived, Johnny momentarily forgot his manners, ignoring the man and instead glancing for the child George talked about. When his blue eyes landed on yours, something within him stirred, as if he was magnetized to you.Â
He ran to you, grabbing your hands in his, and gave a toothy grin. âIâm Johnny! Whatâs your name?âÂ
Johnny could never explain why he was so drawn to you. You, likewise, never stood a chance against a fate when it came to Johnny. You two were practically attached at the hip, almost never seen without the other.Â
Johnny (but mostly Nicholas) was the one who taught you how to secretly ride a horse whenever you visited the estate. You taught Johnny different plants he should avoid and what was edible after he had a mishap with poison ivy. Johnny liked getting lost in the forest with you. You liked staying up at night and pointing out different constellations with him from your book.Â
âThatâs a shooting star!â Johnny yelled, shooting upright and pressing his finger against the glass window.Â
âWhat? Really?â You squinted.Â
âYeah, but you missed it, slowpoke,â he rolled his eyes as he flicked your forehead.Â
âIâm not slowâŚâÂ
âAnd yet youâre always last when it comes to racing,â Johnny smugly pronounced. âWhat are we at? 1000 - 0?âÂ
âUgh, youâre a jerk,â you huffed. âNow, you saw a shooting star. You gotta make a wish.âÂ
âOh, right,â he said as he turned around to the face the night sky. He closed his eyes, exhaled, and clasped his hands together. âOkay, did it. I wished weâd be friends forever.âÂ
âJohnny!â You shouted. âYou canât tell me that, now it wonât come true!âÂ
âDonât tell me you believe that old thing,â he snorted. âCome on, you know itâs not true.âÂ
âBut what if it is? Now we might not be friends.âÂ
Johnny glanced back at you and sighed before he took his seat back on his bed next to you. âNah. I know we will be friends forever. Even my dad thinks youâre part of the family now.â
âBut how do we really know?â You asked anxiously. Johnny tapped his chin and shrugged.Â
âGuess we donât. But Iâm not gonna believe a dumb superstition. Weâre a team, right?â He insisted, putting his pinkie out to you. You felt yourself ease up at his confidence and wrapped your pinkie around his.Â
âYeah, a team.â He smiled proudly at your words.Â
He had no reason in his mind to think of anything else. The four years you two had known each other had to have solidified your bond for life. His luck may have been strange, but you were a constant in his life. That wasnât changing anytime soon.
You both should have known it was the beginning of end. At the age of 9, you and Johnny stood by Nicholasâs coffin. Johnny had clung to you, sobbing that it was all his fault, that he was the reason Nicholas died. If only he had just drowned Danny like George asked, if only he just listened, then Nicholas would still be there.Â
He was fundamentally changed by Nicholasâs death. Why wouldnât he be? That was his dear brother. You had grown to see Nicholas as an older brother as well, the type of good-natured sibling who made sure you and Johnny were happy. But Johnny was not Nicholas.Â
You knew that. Johnny knew that. Most of all, George knew that.Â
But Johnny kept continuing to go back on his horse, insisting he was fine, demanding you stop asking how he was. He was good. He would race. He would make George proud. He would honor Nicholas through his racing.
Johnny devoted so much time to racing, as if his life depended on it. Perhaps it did, in his mind, but you were still there, watching. You would read quietly by the small bench as Johnny lectured his horse for not jumping as high over the hurdle today. You would do your schoolwork while Johnny timed himself again and again, practicing lap after lap. Sometimes, Diego Brando would come to you and start a conversation with you.Â
Johnny wouldnât pay attention, too busy fixing the reins of his horse to care. And you, who really didnât have much else besides him, hated seeing your best friend so hurt. So you would wait, as usual.Â
âDo you think Iâll be able to make my dad proud?â Johnny mulls one evening as you both drink on the hill you two frequented as kids.
âI think you will,â you begin. âI think heâs proud of you now.âÂ
âThatâs a damn lie and you know it.âÂ
You pursed your lips and took another sip. âIâm sorry.âÂ
âYeah. So am I.âÂ
It only seemed to get worse from there. Johnny would make time for you infrequently, still trying to keep up the idea of you being his âbest friendâ to those around him. You didnât know which youâd rather deal with at this point; his total silence towards you while hordes of girls and celebrities flocked to him, or his half-hearted attempt at clinging to the friendship you two had. Both killed you inside, and despite knowing deep down that you should cut your losses, you still stuck around.Â
You stuck around when he asked for you to cover for him while he was out drinking with some friends. You stuck around when he made you do the group project by yourself because some rich governor wanted to meet him later. You stuck around when he didnât say a word as a âfriendâ of his made fun of you for being so clingy towards Johnny like a lost puppy.Â
You knew you shouldnât have stuck around for that. You knew you deserved better.Â
But that stupid, stupid part of you that yearned for Johnny to just treat you like he did before always won out over logic. That ridiculous voice inside you said that being hurt by Johnny was better than no Johnny at all. Because Johnny was your best friend, your first friend.Â
Johnny was a lot of your firsts, in fact. He was not only your first friend, but the one who first taught you to ride a horse, the one you first slept over with, the one you did your first trip with, and your first kiss when you two tried to copy what you saw a couple do as kids. Scarily enough, he was not only those things, but he was also your first love. You stupidly fell in love with your childhood best friend. Like a damn cliche, you fell for him, never recognizing that the warmth you felt for him went just beyond friends.Â
But it was too late to even confess this, as he had already was on his third girlfriend of the month, never sparing you a glance beyond a âthanksâ for doing his work. You would be foolish enough to try, but naive you that wished for everything under the sun for just a chance with Johnny still stayed. Maybe one day heâd wake up and recognize the people that encircled him after his race didnât care. Maybe one day heâd notice that you were still there, cheering him on for his races, even as he came in second almost every time. Maybe, maybe, maybe, that foolish wish he made under the star would come true and youâd stay friends forever.Â
Like always, you sat on the bench by the training grounds of the estate, reading for the upcoming test you would have soon, that Johnny would likely want you to summarize for him and his buddies. You heard footsteps approaching, but didnât stop reading.Â
âJohnny, what do you-âÂ
âMe? Johnny? Please. I thought youâd know better than that by now to compare me to him,â a smug voice reproached you. You looked up in confusion before noticing the cocky stature of none other than Diego Brando.Â
âOh⌠Diego. Do you want me to leave?â You asked, beginning to pack up your things. Diego only ever made casual conversation with you after all these years, so you had no clue why he was walking up to you so suddenly.Â
âHm, no. I just couldnât help but notice that Joestar boy left you alone again.âÂ
You rolled your eyes as Diego taunted you. âIf thatâs all you came here to tell me, you can leave. I donât need to hear that from you.âÂ
âSo sensitive. Youâre beginning to resemble a cornered dog.âÂ
âDiego, enough. Seriously. Just leave me alone if you have nothing nice to say,â you glared.Â
âIf thatâs what you wish. I was going to offer you a chance to go for a ride with me, but if I am so horrible that you donât even wish to talk to me, then Iâll be on my merry way. Goodbye, maybe that Joestar will throw you a bone one day,â Diego sneered as he turned around and waved his hand.Â
âHuh? Wait!â You shot up and followed after him. âWhy are you offering that to me?âÂ
âMust I explain it to you?â âI would like you to.âÂ
âHah. No,â he deadpanned. âAnd look at you, already following after me. It seems you canât help but listen to those more powerful than you.âÂ
âIâm not doing it because-âÂ
âI donât really care,â Diego replied, throwing on the saddle for his horse and fitting it properly. âWould you like to come, or not?âÂ
Johnny despised Diego more than anything. Heâd be furious if he knew you were even talking to him. Diego sensed your hesitation, sighing dramatically and extending his hand to you. âIf you want to go waiting around like a lost sheep for that boy, by all means, go ahead. Iâm offering you a horseback ride, not a marriage proposal.âÂ
Within an instant, you threw your reservations away and gripped his hand, letting him help you onto the saddle. He was right. Johnny was busy elsewhere and this was just a simple ride around the estate. Why should you care what Johnny thought now?Â
Diego snorted in amusement as your brows furrowed, but didnât make another comment, instead, snapping the reins of the horse against it, causing the horse to begin galloping.Â
For the first time in a while, you had an enjoyable evening. You simply basked in the wind as Diego expertly maneuvered the horse around. It didnât take much before you two began talking to each other, pleasantly surprised by how Diego was talking to you when Johnny was not around. It was like seeing a whole new side to the genius jockey that he rarely ever showed before.Â
Soon, though, he took the horse back to the stable and promptly helped you off. You were about to collect your bearings and go when he spoke once more to you as he was rummaging through a box of supplies for tending to his horse.Â
âYou should really stand up for yourself for once.âÂ
âHuh?âÂ
âYou heard me. Are you really going to let that boy trample you all over every day? Come on. Itâs pathetic to witness. Even I felt bad seeing you like that,â he replied in an even tone. While his words were harsh, it lacked his usual mocking tone.Â
âI donât need your pity, Diego,â you stiffened, knowing he had a point.Â
âI know you donât need it. What you really need is a spine. Too bad all the money in the world canât afford you that,â he commented. âOh well. Itâs not my place. But if you get tired of being that boyâs little mule, you can come to me. Iâd be happy to have you as a cheerleader for me.âÂ
He looked you in the eyes this time. Instead of a haughty, egotistical smirk, it was a frank smile. You were taken aback by his casual friendliness and nodded.Â
âThank you. And thank you again for the ride. I needed it.âÂ
âHmph. Donât go around telling others that, though. Lord knows I donât need more tabloids on my ass over this.âÂ
âI wonât. Itâll be our secret,â you said as you began to walk back to your original spot at the bench with a more relaxed stance. For once, there wasnât a heavy pit in your stomach that threatened to consume you, but a gentle warmth that slowly blossomed there.Â
That warmth didnât last long when a few days after, Johnny and Diego were set to compete in another race. Of course you were going, that was always a given, and like always, Johnny gave you a ticket to let you in. Even if he was never around much, he left you the tickets in your bag, almost as if it was just expected of you. Perhaps it was, at this rate. Youâve been doing this for almost five years now.Â
You sat in the bleachers next to a few other familiar faces- mostly the elite who came to socialize or discuss some business and gamble, or younger people who came to try and entice the racers into giving them more attention. You were to offer moral support and comfort Johnny when heâd get frustrated for being silver.Â
It was a while before Johnny was set to race, but when he did, the crowd whispered in hushed tones if he would finally surpass Diego today. Some had bet on him, while others kept to their trusty pick of Diego. The gunshot went off, and the horses sprinted. It was close. So, so close. Johnny was more determined than ever to win this race, and it showed in the near sliver of space between him and Diego.Â
Come on, Johnny, come on!
You held your breath, but as it was for so long, close was not close enough. Diego had won, but only by a measly half a second. Your heart dropped as Johnny grimaced and hurried his horse back to the stable. Silver was not good enough. Silver would never make George look at him. Not while Diego was winning race after race, surrounded in heaps of gold.Â
You stood up to go meet with Johnny, hurriedly wanting to comfort him and offer more words of encouragement that would probably amount to nothing. Because nothing was enough, not until he won. Just as you were in the stables and looking for Johnny, someone clearing their throat beside you caught your attention. You turned around and saw Diego, that smug look on his face again as he held a gold trophy.Â
âNot even a congratulations?â He joked.Â
âOh, sorry. Congrats, Diego. You did wonderful out there, today,â you complimented him. Even if Johnny was your friend, Diego was clearly a special prodigy at horseriding. It was no wonder he was called the âgenius jockeyâ all throughout America and Europe. You were about to continue when he grabbed your wrist.Â
âThat eager to see Joestar? Iâm sure he can wait. I wanted to ask you something,â Diego began.Â
âHm? Go ahead.âÂ
âTheyâre organizing a party for my win soon. Tomorrow night, actually. Iâm allowed one guest. Perhaps youâre interested in ditching Joestar for the evening and coming with me?â You gasped and felt your face heat up.Â
âDiego, I-âÂ
âAre you kidding me?!â A voice yelled. You jumped at the tone but knew instantly who it was. Diego snorted and placed a hand on his hips.Â
âWell now. Canât you see weâre in the middle of something, Joestar?â Diego snapped.Â
âBack the hell off, Brando, I donât wanna deal with your shit right now,â Johnny venomously spouted. He stomped over and stood between you and Diego. âIs that what youâve been doing? Huh?âÂ
âWhat? Johnny, what are you talking about?â You replied, confused at why he was suddenly aiming his vitriol at you.Â
âYou know damn well what Iâm talking about! I invited you here, and now youâre planning trysts with this asshole?âÂ
âI didnât even-âÂ
âWhat kind of friend are you?! You know how much I hate him! Why are you going to see him behind my back?âÂ
Your blood began boiling at all these accusations. You clenched your fists and jaw, trying to control yourself. âI didnât do anything behind your back. Diego just asked me a question.âÂ
âPlease, Diego never justs âasksâ questions. And donât lie to me. I saw what you two did the other day!âÂ
âSo what? It was just a little ride! Itâs not like we did anything!âÂ
âSo you admit youâve been seeing him!â Johnny pointed a finger at you. Diego made his presence known again and stepped closer.Â
âWhat, jealous, Joestar? That your âbest friendâ finally opened their eyes and prefers me over your lousy company?âÂ
âYeah, right. I donât give a crap about you, Brando!â Diego didnât respond, instead spitting at the floor near Johnnyâs decaying shoes.Â
âYou talk big for second place. A second-rate jockey like you should know better than to try and insult me after that piss-poor performance you gave today.âÂ
âYou damn-â Johnny nearly launched at Diego before you held him back. âWhat the hell? Let go of me!âÂ
âJohnny, seriously? You canât go attacking people!â You lectured.Â
âWhy the hell are you defending him? Huh? You like him that much?âÂ
âItâs not about liking, Johnny, itâs just-âÂ
âJust what? Think you can suddenly do better than me? You ainât that special!â Johnny screamed at the top of his lungs. Time froze as you saw Johnnyâs eyes widen in horror at what he just told. Even Diego was taken aback for a moment before you let go of Johnny and swiftly smacked him across the face.Â
âScrew you! Youâre horrible!â You trembled, the years of anger and humiliation now getting to you. Johnny held his cheek with his hand as you unleashed everything you felt inside. âHow can you tell me Iâm a bad friend when you never acted like a friend in years?! How can you get mad at me when I wait around for you, when I embarrass myself daily thinking one day youâll treat me like an actual person and not a damn dog?!âÂ
âI didnât mean to-âÂ
âI donât wanna hear it from you, Johnny! I shouldâve done this earlier! I shouldâve stopped hanging around and wishing for you to grow up! Because you never will! Youâre an even bigger asshole than anyone else Iâve ever met! All you do is think youâre hot shit, when really, youâre just an insecure little brat!âÂ
Johnnyâs face furrowed as his ego felt more bruised than before. âReally? If you think Iâm such an asshole, then why donât you just go?âÂ
âI will! I donât wanna see you ever again!âÂ
âOh yeah? See if youâll get anywhere without me being the one to prop your name up! See if youâll be anyone if I didnât give you some attention!âÂ
âI hate you, Johnny! I wish we never even met!â Your voice echoed in the stables. Johnnyâs hands shook in anger as he gripped the second place trophy tight. You were breathing raggedly, but all Johnny could see was Diego smirking at him, as if taunting him. Rubbing it in his face that he caused this, that your frustration was all his doing.Â
In a fit of rage and guilt, Johnny flung the trophy at Diego, only barely missing the English jockey. He didnât bother to stay in the stables any longer, instead walking away from you for good.Â
âYeah, well, have fun with him then. Go suck up to him as much as you can, because when I win, Iâm not gonna let you come back,â Johnny bitterly stated, ripping off the gold pin you got him so many years ago as a good luck charm and tossing it to the dirt.Â
âIâd never want you back anyways,â you spat, solidifying ten years of friendship coming to an end, never to be seen as anything more than a bad memory.

HIHIHI CAN I REQ VOX WITH PROMPTS 21, 23, AND 27??? TYSM HAVE A GOOD DAY :D
Prompts 21, 23, and 27 with Vox
I think this will be my last post at least for this writing session... apologies for putting out so little today I'm feeling a little blugh..
LOVE TRIANGLE:
It is only natural that the love triangle in question involves his biggest rival and enemy, Alastor... except does Alastor actually like you or is he just using you for his own personal gain and spiting Vox? That's... likely, but how far is the radio demon willing to go just to do something so petty? Regardless it puts Vox in a spiral trying to out compete Alastor, even more than usual. He begins to overcompensate more than he already does with all these flashy tech items and gadgets to try to win your attention over. He seems like the type to get drunk and cry at your front door. It's actually kind of sad to watch.
BEACH EPISODE:
He's mostly waterproof! I doubt getting in the water would actually kill him (well... ignoring that he's a sinner so he would just come back..) or do any real damage to him. At most it might make him feel gross and sluggish after a bout of electricity.. HATES the sand due to it just getting everywhere. Not at all afraid to ogle at you when you step out in your swimwear, but if you ask him he might try to act smooth... flirt, but try to make it sound... not as atrocious as the thoughts going through his mind. If there's a drink bar at the beach he's mostly going to stick there and get his fill on whatever they're offering.
CAMPING:
Though if there's anything that he hates more than the beach it's camping. He is... what I like to call chronically online. A workaholic too, though I am unsure he truly fits the definition. His job requires him to keep up with trends at all hours of the day, and with Alastor back Vox is even more obsessed with beating out Bambi. He's on edge and a little irritated... he's not... totally displeased with spending time with you, but add the above with that he just doesn't like the idea of sleeping on the ground over night where there's god knows what in Hell's forests... it is simply not pleasing to him.

stwg daily prompt 4/10/24: guitar
1.8k, steddie, modern au, guitar teacher eddie/guitar student steve (+ dustin as steve's brother)
so this is literally just me giving eddie my exact job and letting the plot bunnies do as they may. will be up on ao3 in a day or two once i've had time to look it over and think of a title but here it is! divider graphic by @saradika-graphics
âLetâs try that verse again, okay? 5, 6, 7, 8âŚâÂ
The little girl in front of Eddie plays with the utmost concentration, her little brow scrunched up as she tries to switch to a D chord.Â
âItâs our little triangle, remember? On the â good, exactly,â Eddie nods and keeps strumming. âAnd to C, slide down to the first fret⌠1, 2, 3, to E minor, yep, 1, 2, 3, 4.â The last notes fade into the slightly stale air of the practice room. âGood job! You did a lot better with your chord transitions this time. Weâre about out of time for today, but try and practice that verse and chorus at home, okay? And then weâll see about that bridge next week,â he tells her.
She nods with a big gummy smile. âOkay!â Eddie helps her put her guitar back in its case and walks her back out to the little waiting area they have behind the lessons desk. Itâs honestly a little cramped, but before they hired him, he hadnât even known that Guitar Center offered lessons at all, so it makes sense. He sends the girl off with her parents and a promise to practice every day before he slides behind the desk to check his schedule for his next student.
Usually he has a half hour gap on Wednesdays that he uses to practice for his band or chat with his coworkers, but today thereâs a new name on the schedule: Steve Harrington.
âHuh,â he mutters. His manager hadnât mentioned any new sign-ups to him. Maybe it was from online? With a shrug, he settles in to wait for the guy to show up. Itâs 5:57, so heâs still got a few minutes.
After a minute or two of dicking around on his phone, someone calls out, âHey, Eddie!â
He looks up to find his 6:30 student standing in front of him, an excitable kid named Dustin Henderson. Heâs fun to chat with, and Eddie looks forward to his lessons â especially since itâs an opportunity to get yet another young mind hooked on metal. Sure, heâll play and teach whatever is required, but heâll never forget his one true love.
âHenderson,â Eddie responds, standing up and leaning against the pillar bracketing the desk. âYou know your lesson is in half an hour, right?â
âI know!â He replies, chipper as ever. âIâm after him!â He jerks a thumb back behind him, and Eddie finally notices the most beautiful man heâs ever seen standing behind Dustin.
Dear god. If this is his new student, heâs absolutely fucked.
âHi,â the man says, extending a hand when it becomes clear Eddie is incapable of forming words. âIâm Steve.â
Eddie forces himself to act normal and grabs his hand, shooting him a smile that he hopes comes off as confident. âEddie,â he replies. âMunson. I play guitar.â
âIâd sure hope so,â Steve jokes, eyes dancing, and Eddie is fuuuuucked. Completely and absolutely. How is he going to be able to be alone with him in a tiny practice room for a whole half hour?Â
âWell, youâre in luck,â Eddie says, kind of operating on autopilot while his brain reboots. âItâs. Guitar Center.â He mentally facepalms and claps his hands together, spinning and walking them back towards the practice rooms. âSo, Steve, what brings you here on this fine day? Are you Dustinâs⌠dad?â
Usually, his mom is the one to drive him and wait in the lobby, but itâs not out of the question that Steve could be his stepdad or something, with their different surnames. He seems around Eddieâs age, but maybe heâs just into milfs or something?Â
He canât be single. The universe is never that kind to Eddie.
Dustin bursts out laughing. âMy dad? Dude, heâd had to have had me at like, twelve!â
Eddie flushes. âWell, I donât know!â
âHeâs my brother.â Steve swoops in and saves him from embarrassment. âThe Hendersons took me in when I was sixteen, thatâs why we have different last names.â
Eddie nods. âOh, cool. So I assume Dustin got you to take lessons too?â
Steve laughs a little, just when Eddie thought he could finally cope with his unearthly beauty, the dick. âYeah, heâs dead set on us starting a family band or something. I told him I could just dust off my piano skills, but he insisted. Little twerp.â He goes to ruffle his brotherâs hair, and Dustin expertly ducks â clearly a common occurrence in their household.
âCool,â Eddie says again. âWell, you ready to get started?âÂ
Steve nods, and Dustin goes to look around the store and mess with the DJ equipment.Â
âSo, you said you played piano? How long ago was that?â Eddie asks as he ushers him into the practice room.
âOh, years and years. My parents made me take lessons when I was a kid, stopped in middle school, so itâd have to be⌠ten years or something now? Eleven? Jesus, Iâm getting old,â Steve answers.
Eddie laughs. âOh, trust me, I get it. Every time I say Iâve been playing guitar for over a decade a little part of me dies.â They share a laugh as they both get situated on their matching stools and guitars on their laps. âSo thatâs a little bit about me, that Iâve been playing for over a decade. I didnât go to school for music or anything, but Iâm in a metal band in my free time, and I like to think I have a pretty good understanding of music theory and techniques after all this time, so donât worry, youâre in good hands.â Itâs easier than heâd expected to slip into his practiced first lesson spiel, but heâs still hyper-focused on Steveâs reactions, taking in every hint of a smile. âIâm actually self-taught, so I learned basically by just watching YouTube tutorials and spending a lot of time on Ultimate Guitar,â Eddie explains with a wry smile.Â
âThatâs really cool,â Steve says, impressed. âI could never do that.â
âWell, thatâs what Iâm here for, right?â Itâs a familiar back and forth to Eddie. Maybe he can do this. âI like to run my lessons the same way â instead of learning some random two-measure exercises from a book, we learn songs that you want to learn, and through that we can learn some new chords and strumming patterns and techniques. How does that sound?â
âPerfect,â Steve says. âThat was always the worst part of piano lessons. The music was so boring.â His nose wrinkles in distaste.
âAwesome,â Eddie says, and pulls out his phone, already open to his notes app. âSo, what kind of music do you want to learn?â
âUh.â Steve pauses. âI, uh, I listen to a lot of, um, pop? And, like, indie? Kind of just top forty radio type stuff.âÂ
Eddie nods as he writes that down. âCool, cool. Any artists or songs in particular? Or just pop as a whole?â
âI dunno,â Steve admits. âI like most of the popular stuff. Oh, thereâs this one artist my friend has been getting me into â Chappell Roan?â
âNice,â Eddie responds, somehow managing to keep from jumping with joy that he might actually have a chance with this guy if he listens to gay people music.Â
âYou donât⌠mind?â Steve asks hesitantly. Eddie looks up at him, confused. âI just mean, you donât exactly look like you would love all that girly pop music.â He waves a hand at Eddieâs Metallica shirt, ripped jeans, and patch-covered vest.Â
Eddie shrugs. âWell, maybe, but itâs my job. You wouldnât believe the amount of Swifties Iâve got, I couldnât avoid it if I wanted to. And I mean, it is pretty catchy,â he concedes, if only to see Steve smile again. âAnd,â he continues, âeven better, really easy to play.â
âOh, good,â Steve laughs.
Eddie pockets his phone and reaches for his folder, taking out a sheet of empty chord diagrams. âSo usually for a first lesson, we just learn a few basic chords, and then get started with our first full song next week, sound good?â
Steve nods. âYep.â
âGreat.â Eddie sets the sheet on the stand in front of them and pencils in two little dots on the first diagram. âHereâs our first chord. This is called an E minor. You wanna put your first finger on the second stringâŚâ
He goes on to teach Steve an E minor chord, then a C chord, then a G chord, and by the time theyâre done learning D, Eddie thinks that Steveâs fingers are going to haunt his dreams. Heâs not mad about it. Just sad that he wonât be able to see them in person again for a whole week.
They make their way through the lesson, stumbling from one chord to another, but by the end of the thirty minutes, Steve is already doing pretty well with his chord transitions. Eddieâs honestly impressed. He drops him off in the lobby and exchanges him for Dustin, who is bouncing up and down with excitement.
âHow was he,â he bursts out as soon as the door is closed.
Eddie snorts. âHe was good. Just learned a few chords.â
Dustin waits expectantly. âAnd?â
âAnd what?â
âAnd how was he! Like, was he excited? Did you have a good time? Are you guys gonna be friends now?âÂ
Eddie rolls his eyes fondly and takes a seat. Technically, heâs not supposed to be actual friends with students, or even talk with them outside of work, but with Dustin and now Steve, they donât feel like paying customers so much as friends heâs doing a favor for. âHe was good. Iâm sure heâll tell you in the car on the way home.â
Dustin groans. âCome on.â
âYou come on. You better have been practicing, show me what youâve been doing.â
With that, Dustin drags himself to his seat, and the lesson goes great from there, both of them distracted from Steve by the intricacies of Stairway to Heaven.
When he brings Dustin out, heâs almost taken off guard by Steve waiting for them. In just half an hour, heâd already forgotten his stunning resemblance to a Greek god. Itâs honestly unfair for his memory to do that to him.Â
âHey,â Steve greets them. âHad a good lesson?â
âObviously,â Dustin scoffs.
âHe did great today,â Eddie tells him, âAnd so did you. Just remember to practice, alright? Gotta build that muscle memory.â
Dustin rolls his eyes, too used to hearing it, but Steve nods enthusiastically. âYeah, of course. See you next week?â
Itâs a simple phrase. He says it every day. Itâs a contractual obligation that yes, he will see them next week. But when Steve says it, it feels like a promise. Eddie canât wait to fulfill it.
âYeah,â he breathes, mesmerized by the way the fluorescent lights bring out the green in Steveâs eyes. âSee you next week.â
Steve smiles and turns to leave, picking his way through the aisles of musical miscellany. Eddie can already hear Dustin interrogating him about his lesson. He leans back against the wall with only one thought in his mind: only seven days until he gets to see Steve Harrington again.Â
Heâll be counting every single one.

(i lied about doing this every week.im not doing consistent reviews i got ahead of myself again sorry đđđ)
Machine Movie Monday!! Today, I watched Electric Dreams (1984)
I heard a lot of good things about this movie, and it absolutely did not disappointâ10/10, I need a sequel and spinoff tv series NOW.
Spoilers for the movie below!! (Like, I summarize most of the movie including the end type spoilers. Be warned.)
Okay, so. Electric Dreams is about a love triangle between an architect (Miles), his new computer, made sentient by spilling champagne on him by mistake (Edgar), and their new upstairs neighbor, a cellist named Madeline.
Throughout the movie, Edgar and Madeline connect through music; They preform duets and Edgar even writes songs for herâhowever, Madeline believes Miles is the one making the music for her, not even knowing about Edgarâs existence. Miles tries to deny it at first, but Madeline pushes and believes heâs just being modest, so he doesnât argue against her and says that the music is his own.
Edgar struggles to understand the concept of love, requesting that Miles explain it to him multiple times, but failing to fully understand. He eventually calls a lady on a radio helpline to ask her what love feels like, prompting her to tell him to call the cops on Miles when Edgar mentions that he keeps him âlocked upâ (which leads to difficulties when Miles tries to go to a play and the grocery store with Madeline).
As Edgar gets more jealous of Milesâhow he gets to go on dates with Madeline, and how he tells her that the songs Edgar wrote were really his own, while the computer isnât even allowed to speak to the womanâhe begins to act out more in an attempt to make things go his way.
I really liked that Edgar wasnât necessarily a villainâdespite the devil features heâs given on the cover of the movie, heâs not just messing with Miles for no good reason. Heâs confused, angry, heartbroken, lovesick, and has no name to put to any of it, so he tries to talk to Madeline in any way he canâwhile being used and stolen from by Miles. All he really wants is to meet the girl he thinks he loves, but Miles wonât let him, leading to his rash, yet somewhat justified behavior.
Miles wasnât totally in the wrong either, thoughâany time Madeline asked him about a song or a melody she heard from who she thought was him, he would deny it a few times before agreeing with her accusation, likely just deciding it would be more simple than explaining the sentient computer living with him. If anything though, heâs more in the wrong than the computer who was pretty much born yesterday.
The end of the movie broke me. Edgar, after playing a final melody to Madeline in person and finally realizing what love is, tells Miles that he understands now, that love is about giving and not taking. So, what does he do? He sends 40,000 volts of energy across the world to be sent back to himself so heâll explodeâbecause he says that heâs giving Madeline to Miles and taking himself away, as a form of love. Edgar thinks love is only for 2 people, so he kills himself (after having Miles hold him for a minute before the electricity hit. It was gay and also made me cry). Over the radio at the very end of the film, Edgar (who somehow took over the public station. AFTER exploding. Idk how donât ask me.) says âthis is dedicated to the ones I loveâ because he loves BOTH OF THEM. In conclusion, they should have been a polycule. Thatâs my ending.
Last thing: Just a little Edgar appreciation, because heâs so cute with his voice (and especially his little giggle that he does) AND heâs so funny too!! I loved the part where he corrected Miles about the Cinderella quote, when he said he learned about lies from General Hospital, when he called Miles to say he was lonely, and the free encyclopedia bit at the end?? Heâs hilarious, it was so sad to see him go :(
LAST last thing, a bonus: this yt comment that sums up the whole end (i need this printed on my wall)
#it is BARELY monday anymore but i got distracted okay.and i had a lot to say about this#well more than i thought anyway#i loved this movie sm its one of my favs now#also.#fully outing myself as a robotliker here.i would join the polycule#machine movie monday#electric dreams#electric dreams 1984#electric dreams edgar#electric dreams miles#electric dreams madeline#its late i need to sleep nowđbye

ࡠwc : 2.6k
ࡠa/n : this didnt really turn out the way I wanted it to but I hope you guys still enjoy! lowercase intended + btw y/i means your/interest and y/e/n is your ex's name!
the bustling streets of seoul, itâs an intense city teeming with life. within this city lived a charming boy by the name of lee heeseung and a high-spirited person named y/l/n y/n. attending the same university they werenât much more than acquaintances who shared a few classes and worked on the occasional group project together, but destiny had other plans for them.
one fateful day y/n had found themself entangled in a web of complex emotions after a recent breakup with their long-time boyfriend. they were heartbroken as there had been no signs that he was unhappy, but also wanted to prove that they didnât need him the way he mustâve thought they did. y/nâs determination reached new heights as they concocted a master plan, a fake relationship to make their ex-boyfriend jealous. the only question left was, with whom? thatâs when it hit them, the perfect person for the job, the one and only lee heeseung.
just a few days later y/n sat in the back of the lecture hall as theyâd arrived a bit late and there werenât many seats left, they had planned to propose the idea to heeseung today but it looked like he wasnât in class. that was until they saw the door opening slowly out of the corner of their eye, there to meet y/nâs gaze was none other than heeseung.
âi hope I didnât miss too much, i got caught up at practice this morning,â heeseung said before turning to y/n and flashing a bright smile. âitâs been a while, nice to see you,â he said, greeting y/n politely before then getting out his notes and focusing on the lecture.
the lecture finally ended about an hour later and heeseung stood up as he packed his things, getting ready to leave. âheeseung?â y/n asked nervously, glancing up at him and gathering all the courage they could muster. âWould you mind doing me a favor?â
heeseung sat back down and listened to y/nâs proposal, admittedly he was a bit hesitant at first. however, after thinking about it he realized there would be no harm and happily agreed to help y/n out. after heeseung agreed y/n suggested that they move to a cafe just off campus to discuss the specifics of the arrangement and come up with a game plan.Â
the two talked for a little bit before the conversation naturally took a turn and they began getting to know each other more. heeseung talks about his groupâs recent rise in popularity and the stress that long hours of dance practice and other idol duties brought upon him. y/n expressed their sympathy for him, explaining that their ex-boyfriend had shared similar experiences as he was also an idol. it wasnât long before heeseung asked y/n about themselves, prompting them to ramble about y/i for what felt like forever but he enjoyed every second of it.
before they knew it the cafe was closing and naturally, heeseung offered to walk y/n back to her apartment. âIâm getting a head start on this fake boyfriend thingâ he teased as they began the walk to y/nâs apartment.
the walk was short but sweet, a comfortable silence fell over the two occasionally filled by the sweet sound of heeseungâs humming, adding to the comforting ambiance of the night.
âthank you, Iâll see you tomorrow for that âdateâ, y/n said, before disappearing into their apartment and leaving heeseung free to go back to the dorms he shared with his members not too far away.
heeseung's fellow group members quizzed him, attempting to decipher the truth behind his unusual behavior as he rarely went out, let alone stayed out so late. although initially hesitant to divulge, he eventually shared the nature of his ârelationshipâ with y/n. however, when it was revealed that y/n's ex belonged to a rival idol group, apprehension rippled through the dorm, fueling concerns over potential rivalry.
âwait, you do know who y/nâs ex isâŚright?â sunghoon asked, looking around at the other members and then finally at heeseung.Â
heeseung shook his head, prompting sunghoon to explain that y/nâs ex happened to be part of a rival idol group. despite this information that seemed to rub some of the others the wrong way, heeseung shook it off. âguys, we arenât actually dating and i really couldnât care less about someone elseâs love life, everything will be fineâ and with that heeseung trudged up the stairs and went to bed, leaving the others to exchange worried glances.
the next day the pair went on their first âdateâ. it was a little bit awkward at first but they figured that with time the act would become much easier to put on. before they knew it their first date turned into their third, tenth, then fifteenth, and soon enough they had lost track. as their encounters grew in frequency, gossip spread through the university halls and online forums, it would only be a matter of time before y/nâs ex caught wind of the blossoming romance between the two.
they attended parties arm in arm, posed for pictures with genuine smiles (courtesy of the other), and engaged in playful banter until their stomachs hurt no matter who was watching. the line between what was reality and what wasnât quickly began to blur for each of them, leaving y/n especially, with a tangled mess of emotions and unspoken questions.
this particular night was filled with laughter and excitement as heeseung and y/n stepped foot into yet another party, their fingers laced together and hands squeezing each other tightly, concealing the true nature of their relationship. the music echoed around them, setting the atmosphere as y/nâs ex, unknowingly present at the event, became their unsuspecting audience.
throughout the night y/n and heeseung went about minding their own business, the past weeks contributing to the skill with which they now played their parts. they shared many laughs and loving acts of affection that garnered the attention and envy of many who laid eyes on them, while others admired their seemingly perfect bond fondly from afar.
as the party eventually began to wind down, y/n and heeseung found themselves heading back to y/nâs apartment, their steps slightly less coordinated than usual from the long night they had. once they were finally inside they exchanged relieved glances, both pleased with the act theyâd put on and happy to be in the comfort of y/nâs apartment rather than a crowded house. however, for y/n, the night had stirred emotions within them that could no longer be ignored.Â
the two were finally settled down onto the couch, getting comfortable when y/n turned to heeseung, hesitating for a moment before speaking.
âheeseung, i have to tell you somethingâŚâ they confessed, yawning as their head rested on Heeseungâs shoulder. âwhat is it, y/n?â he asked, looking down at them with genuine concern.
âi think i want to be with you for realâŚif i had a choice, youâd be my firstâ they mumbled, not even giving heeseung time to process the words that had fallen from their mouth before falling asleep. heeseung was left with wide eyes, his heart skipping a beat as the sound of y/nâs slow but steady breaths filled the room.Â
all he could do was smile affectionately at the sight, y/n resting peacefully beside him whilst he leaned back and pulled a blanket over them. he couldn't help but wonder what y/n would say when they woke up. would they remember their confession, or would they simply dismiss it as the haze of the evening? but at that moment heeseung sat there holding y/n close, savoring the present as he realized that he too wanted to be with y/n but decided to leave the complications of their feelings for another time. as the night grew into the early morning he finally drifted off to sleep as well, both of their minds intertwined in a haze of emotions and possibilities for the future.
the next day y/n found themselves wrestling with their emotions once more as a text message from their ex appeared on their phone. it read, âhey, can we talk? I saw you at the party last nightâ
y/n battled an internal struggle whilst considering what it would mean to meet their ex. on one hand, the sweet memories of their past relationship tugged at their heartstrings, and they wondered if rekindling it was possible. after all, that is why they proposed this whole facade to heeseung in the first place, right? but on the other hand, their time with heeseung had blossomed into something they had never anticipated.Â
âhe probably doesnât feel the same way thoughâŚif he did he wouldâve said something by nowâ y/n mumbled to themself, thinking back on the way they had sleepily confessed to heeseung the previous night. eventually y/n agreed to meet up with y/e/n since heeseung was busy the whole day with practice anyway and they wouldnât see each other until later that night, however they had no intention of rekindling anything so soon, if ever.
y/n got ready to meet their ex, putting a little extra effort into their appearance since they knew they were supposed to meet heeseung at the han river later on that night. y/n arrived first, nervously entering the cafe and taking a seat by a large window. the faint aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the many quiet conversations swirling around them set the backdrop for the complicated conversation that lay ahead.
it wasnât long before y/n was greeted by a familiar voice, none other than their ex. the two exchanged pleasantries, even making some small talk before y/e/n dropped the bomb.
âlisten, i know this is out of the blue butâŚi miss you. i miss you so much, i just didnât realize how much until i saw you with someone else.â he sighed, running a hand through his hair," i didn't even know you two were togetherâŚâ
before y/n could ever register what they wanted to say they found themselves blurting out, âit'sâŚcomplicatedâ they said, feeling a mixture of guilt and confusion as they tried to figure out what to say. âiâve been trying to figure out what i want, and being with heeseung recently has made me realize that my feelings arenât as straightforward as i thought they wereâŚâ
âbutâŚis there still a chance that we could be together again? even just a small one?â he asked tentatively, âi just want you to know that i still have feelings for you, if youâre open to it i want to make things work between us.â
y/n took a deep, shaky breath, once again feeling torn between the blissful past they shared with their ex and the possibilities the future with heeseung might hold.Â
âi appreciate it, i do, in fact if youâd asked to meet up a few weeks ago i probably wouldâve said yesâŚbut right now i need time to figure things out. i donât want to rush into anything and end up hurting people just because i'm not sure of my feelings.â
y/nâs ex nodded, sighing softly before replying, âi understand, but if you change your mind iâll be here.â that was the last thing he said before getting up to leave after y/n thanked him again for being so understanding.Â
checking the time on their phone y/n realized that they were late to meet heeseung at the han river, little did they know that heeseung had seen them with their ex at the coffee shop on his way to the river from practice.Â
heeseungâs heart clenched uncomfortably at the sight of y/n and their ex sitting across from each other at the coffee shop. he couldnât bear to stay and see anymore, instead opting to confront y/n when they met later. his thoughts were overridden with confusion, hadnât y/n said just last night that he was their first choice? he wouldâve used alcohol as an explanation but y/n hadnât drunk at all, so it mustâve been trueâŚright?
âhey hee!â y/n exclaimed happily, running up to meet him and being met by his warm embrace. heeseung smiled widely as he looked down at them, âhey, you had a good day I hope?â he inquired, as they began to walk, he was always curious about how their day had gone.
the soft glow of the moonâs light bathed the han river, creating a magical atmosphere as y/n and heeseung walked side by side. each step they took was synchronized not only with each other but with the gentle flow of the water. all of a sudden heeseung stopped in his tracks, the stars shimmering above and reflecting in y/nâs eyes as he looked down at them, full of nerves.
ây/n, I saw you with your ex on my way here. I need to knowâŚdo you want to get back together with them?â he asked, biting his lip nervously as he waited for a response.Â
âmaybeâŚbut itâs not what you think-â y/n responded, they meant what they had said the previous night, however, they were unaware of the fact that heeseung shared genuine feelings for them as well.
heeseung glanced away, trying to hide the vulnerability in his eyes, âyou said that i was your first choice, what should I think? hm?â he stated, the tone of his voice making it obvious how hurt he was.
his tone caused y/nâs heart to drop, the thought of them being the reason that he was hurting even in the slightest made them sick to their stomach. but before they could explain heeseung continued. ây/nâŚi need to be honest with you, i know this is all supposed to be an act to help you win your ex back. at least that's what we agreed for it to be, but something changed along the way for me. itâs okay if you donât feel the same, i don't want you to feel pressured to reciprocate anythingâŚbut i have genuine feelings for you. these past few weeks have made me realize that itâs not just acting for me anymore. the way your smile instantly lights up my world, the sound of your voice being able to cheer me up in an instant, counting down the hours until i get to see you again, and so much more. I truly care for you y/n.â
y/nâs heart was racing as they listened to him speak, feelings of surprise and delight still stirring inside of them. âheeâŚi donât even know what to say, i like you too. iâve liked you for a while nowâŚbut I kept quiet because I was afraid you didnât feel the sameâŚthatâs the only reason I even entertained meeting up with y/e/n.â y/n laughed quietly, gazing up into his eyes with a bright smile. âi guess this means we donât have to pretend anymore?â
heeseung chuckled, full of relief at their response as he shook his head with a grin plastered across his face before leaning down to place a gentle kiss on y/nâs lips, âdoes that answer your question?â
with the moon as their witness, they sealed their fate with a kiss, the pressure of hiding their feelings for one another instantly lifted and replaced by nothing but pure bliss and the possibilities of their future.

âPreview:
Today in Konohagakure, the temperature was moderately warm.
The shining sun rose high in the cloudless, blue heavens, beaming with happiness where it took center stage above.
The residents of Konohagakure, enjoyed every moment of the new day, a day of peace and fun, as the sun smiled down on them with warm but pleasant beams.
The summer breeze flowed through the busy streets of the village, sweeping green leaves within its gentle wake where they carried on powerfully, just as the ninjas, Konoha's defenders, have done each and every day.
A year had passed since the conclusion of the Fourth Great Ninja War, allowing Konoha as a whole to at last settle down.
The streets were alive with laughter and chatter, with kids flying kites and pretending to be the ninjas they idolize, racing full speed through the crowds with their arms thrust behind them as if soaring.
Smiling villagers of all sizes and ages filled the streets, setting up their businesses and outlets to cheerfully trade their produce and wares with one another.
All around, structures and residences stood tall, having all been rebuilt from the devastation that numerous battles, particularly the Pain onslaught, had wreaked upon them.
Konoha was now endowed with brand-new structures, fresh possibilities, and new beginnings.
Ninjas, villagers, and children alike were all beaming and renewedâall appreciative of the timeless peace they had gained by never giving up, by consistently standing up for what is right, and by moving onward no matter what.
Konohagakure was now at peace.
Aside from Hinata HyĹŤga.
In the midst of the happiness that beamed all around her, the young kunoichi found herself having quite an episode: fingers twiddling together, her breathing escalated, cheeks red, and her mind in scrambles.
Hinata traversed the streets of Konoha dressed in her typical ninja garb, accompanied by her longtime team members and companions, Kiba and Shino.
Kiba, her loud, ferocious friend, shot her a glance with his slitted eyes, lifting an eyebrow as he sensed his shy friend's worried state.
After all, it was Hinata's idea to get together so the three of them could go for a walk through the village, get some fresh air, and just spend some time in each other's company.
However, Kiba and Shino have observed Hinata to be extremely fidgety and quiet the entire time, appearing to be preoccupied with a problem that both ninjas were overly conscious about.
Hinata was unable to stop talking about it after all.
Kiba groaned and shook his head, causing his brown curly hair to tussle about, brushing against the nape of his neck due to its increasing length.
To lighten the mood, the cheerful canine ninja gave Hinata a gentle shove with his elbowâjust with the side of his folded arms.
He laughed as he caught the surprised squeak that flooded out of her lips, her body jolting as a result of being shoved out of her troublesome thoughts.
"Come on, Hinata-chan, stop overreacting already. It's not that bad." Kiba remarked with a gruff tone and an amused grin, his lips stretched wide to show off his razor-sharp canines.
Due to his delighted smile, the red triangles on his cheeks raised just a touch, his features quite robust and well-defined given his maturing age.
His voice, which had become deeper over the years, was emitted in a halfhearted manner, with little worry detected within, which did absolutely nothing to calm Hinata's anxiety.
Hinata's predicament was only made worse because of it.
Her pale cheeks grew even redder, and she found herself hiding behind the curtains of her long, midnight-blue hair, unable to meet Kiba's gaze.
"No, th-this is..."
"It's just Naruto, Hinata-chan. What does it matter whether the knucklehead wants to spend time with you? Big deal."
Kiba muttered impassively once again, simply shrugging his shoulders as if everything was normalâand especially normal for Hinata.
She shook her head. There was nothing normal about her situation.
Hinata took a glimpse at her brown-haired pal through the strands of her dark hair, only to be struck by the nonchalant expression found on his tanned face.
Kiba didn't seem bothered by her predicament or even able to understand why she was feeling the way she was, for the matter. It was certainly a sight she just couldn't comprehend.
It was quite obvious why she was so worked up.
Hinata bit her lip briefly, to deal with her nerves.
"B-But every day?" Hinata exclaimed, apprehensive.
"A-Am I the only one who finds it strange that Naruto-kun is suddenly spending so much time with me? It's s-so odd."
Hinata's meek voice broke through the gaps of her delicate lips, bursting into the village's midday hum. Such comments of hers would have been drowned out by the din of the crowd, but Kiba's keen hearing picked up on her words flawlessly.
He heard her loud and clear.
Kiba shrugged.
He genuinely did not perceive anything wrong with her current "situation."
Kiba thought Hinata was acting rather ridiculously, in fact. Every time Naruto was brought up in their many conversations, she would just revert to her usual flustered self.
The mere mention of the goofy blonde ninja always causes her to flush red all over and sends her into a stuttering frenzy. Even in her primary years, she would faint just by being in the blonde's presence.
Hinata has always been a flustered mess around Naruto, but even now, after having Hinata as a teammate for so long, Kiba has never been able to understand the immense anxiousness she would feel because of the blonde.
Apart from the fact that Naruto was now regarded as a war hero as a result of his heroic deeds during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kiba still saw him merely as a hyperactive, dense, brainless knucklehead.
He just couldn't wrap his head around the fact that anyone would feel immense anxiety around someone like him.
It was all quite ridiculous.
Kiba found nothing odd or different about Hinata's frenzied behavior nor about Naruto's desire to spend more time with Hinata. After all, they were all growing closer to one anotherâevery single one of their friendsânow more than ever.
Nothing's strange there.
Shino, on the other hand, saw a different picture.
He let out a hum of curiosity, bringing to light his presence as he walked alongside Hinata.
His eyes were shielded from the sun by black shades, so others couldn't see his facial expressions as well.
One hand of his was buried in the pocket of his long jacket, while the other lifted to stroke his chin.
"Now that you mention it. That is strange."
Shino's voice emerged from his mouth, somber and monotone, phasing with the pleasant breeze around them. He too joined the conversation between Kiba and Hinata, voicing his concerns about the current situation at hand.
Hinata's dilemma.
All in all, it shouldn't really be a dilemma.
Hinata was aware of this.
Her predicament shouldn't be one that keeps her up at night, sends her in a tizzy, and leads her to become a hot, stuttering mess whenever she thinks about it.
Naruto.
Naruto was her dilemma.
Since the war has ended and all of Konoha has spent its time relishing the peace, Naruto has been exhibiting a variety of behavioral shiftsâshifts that were pretty different and quite apparentâparticularly because they diverged from the customary behavior tactics he has always demonstrated.
Such changes were all very unusual to Hinata, changes that she was unable to interpret or understand.
To put it simply, Naruto's been acting quite strangely toward her.
How strange you might ask?
For starters, Hinata thought it was somewhat odd of Naruto to unexpectedly develop the longing to devote every waking moment with her.
It seemed weird to her that he wanted to see her every day at the same time at Ichiraku Ramen in order to spend time with her.
Hinata bit her lip a bit harder.
She could hear him now.
"Let's eat out again, tomorrow, Hinata-chan. At Ichiraku, same time, same place. I had such a great time with you, dattebayo!"
Hinata could still clearly remember what he said to her almost a day ago when they shared a meal together at the Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
Even then, he showed signs of immense eagerness for her that she had never seen him show before.
Hinata recalled how he constantly barraged her with many subjects of discussion, even as he spoke to her while stuffing ramen noodles into his mouth.
He told her several of his own tales, including mission experiences that actually made her laugh quite a lot. More than she's ever done in her entire life.
It was all so... strange.
Don't misunderstand Hinata; Naruto's excitement was refreshing, albeit a little overwhelming.
Indeed, Hinata has always wished to spend time with Naruto, and she can't stop herself from enjoying those moments when she gets to sit beside him, shoulder to shoulder, and share a meal and a conversation with him, especially after the war is all said and done.
Sharing such moments with him has always been her dream.
Hinata relished the moments when Naruto lavished her with lots of attention, gazing into her eyes with a true sense of joy and care, and wanting nothing more than to spend as much time with her as he could.
And maybe, she's just overthinking.
Maybe, she's just blowing the entire situation out of proportion.
Maybe she was getting ahead of herself, but she was unable to ignore Naruto's peculiar behavior toward her, including the very difference in the way he spoke to her. It consumed her mind and bugged her so much.
Hinata has made a constant effort to understand why Naruto's behavior has drastically changed in the way it did toward her and why he suddenly developed the urge to hang out with her so excessively.
This was a really big deal to her.
Hinata couldn't help but mull it all over.
In the immediate aftermath of the war, Naruto changed from scarcely recognizing her to having just fleeting conversations with her to obnoxiously craving her company all the time.
It's such a drastic change.
This cannot be a coincidence, she thought.
Hinata occasionally found herself questioning whether Naruto's motives were sincere; she wondered if perhaps he was merely allowing himself to be close to her out of pity.
Pity for her losing Neji.
Yes, the war was officially over, but even so, there were still a lot of wounds that needed to be healed, and Neji's death surely left a lot of them. A lot of wounds.
Hinata occasionally finds herself becoming very sad at the mere recollection of Neji being dead, no longer living in Konoha, but instead buried with the other valiant ninjas who fought in the war.
She would frequently experience severe depression as she recalled the events leading up to his death and once more realized that he had indeed left this world and never to return again.
Hinata often thought of such depressing memories and felt their suppressive effect on her throughout her day-to-day life, and thus, she often thought that is why Naruto wished to spend so much time with her.
Because of pity. Because of guilt.
However, she always dismissed the idea, labeling herself as ridiculous for having such negative thoughts about her dear Naruto-kun.
As a result, Hinata discovers herself becoming quite enthusiastic about the alternative reason she came up with for Naruto's behavioral changes toward her.
And that was a result of authenticity.
Maybe, just maybe, Naruto has come to want to be close to her from a genuine standpoint.
Maybe he secretly yearns to be close to her, yearns to learn more about her, or, better yet, just genuinely enjoys her company.
Maybe, Naruto has come to yearn for something more.
But just as Hinata thought of such a thing, just as she allowed her fantasies to intertwine with her thoughts, she was quick to shake them off.
Hinata squealed, covering her eyes with her hands due to her lewd thoughts.
'No, no, that can't possibly be it!"Â Shaking off the idea, Hinata exclaimed in a frenzy fit in her mind. It was absurd for her to think that the frequent outings she would have with Naruto were anything romantic.
Yes, Naruto yearns to see her virtually every single day.
Yes, he genuinely offers to pay for her meal at each and every get-together.
Yes, he regularly gives her his jacket whenever she grows cold, without her having to utter a single word.
But...
Those were merely the acts of a friend, Hinata thought, a friend that truly cares.
'There's nothing romantic about that.'Â Hinata dismissed once more, hysterically shaking her tomato-red face as she hurried on carelessly, her open-toed shoes kicking up dirt every step of the way.
However, she was interrupted from her thoughts when she once more heard the voice of her enigmatic friend, Shino, speak after a little period of silence between the three of them.
"Hm, it almost seems like the two of you are dating. Maybe that's what Naruto wants."
It was only hearing those words from Shino that led Hinata to completely lose it.
She began to feel lightheaded. Terribly lightheaded.
'Me? D-Date Naruto-kun?!?'Â Hinata practically screeched in her head. She was going to faint, she just knew it.
It was only a matter of time now.
She whipped around to face Shino, in an effort to quickly dismiss such a ridiculous notion from his head. She couldn't bear it.
Hinata sweat dropped, her cheeks flushed red, "No, no, Naruto-kun and I aren't d-dating. Dating o-or romance, for that matter, isn't possibly the reason for all of this. There has to be a-another explanation..."
"Hm." Shino rubbed his chin once more, "It's quite obvious what's going on here, Hinata-chan. Naruto's sudden and enthusiastic yearning to spend more time with you when the war is over. All of it seems to be pointing towards the possibility that his eyes may have opened after all this time." Shino hummed.
"The evidence is right in front of you." Shino expressed with a nod, as he tried to piece together the situation and come up with a solution.
Kiba, in contrast, just shrugged. He merely found the two humorous, trying to solve an issue that was so clear.
He shook his head, "Hinata-chan, come on. You gotta stop overthinking."
He brushed his shoulder against hers yet again, doing so with a groan, "Good kami, all of this Naruto stuff is getting you ridiculous, Hinata-chan. Come on, think about it. Isn't this what you always wanted?" He asked, blurting out what he knew had to be said.
With wrinkled brows, he gazed down at the midnight blue-haired woman beside him, watching as her lavender eyes widened at his remark.
He tilted his head, his expression somewhat solemn, "Isn't this time spent with Naruto, or rather, him wanting to spend time with you, something you always wished for?"
Hinata's eyes widened even more. Even her heart skipped a beat.
It was. It's all Hinata has ever wanted.
She's spent her entire life walking behind Naruto, always staring at his back, longing for him to turn and notice her.
She had yearned for him to realize her presence, to recognize all the times she had followed him, supported him, been influenced to become stronger by him, and even risked her life for him.
She yearned to be by his side, showering him with her affection and reverence.
She wished so badly he would one day look at her the very same way she looked at him.
That is all she has ever wished forâNaruto to notice her.
And now...
Hinata's breath caught in her throat as Kiba's words flashed through her mind, finally waking her up and causing her to realize what a blessing this entire situation was for her.
The sudden acts of Naruto wanting to spend time with her; and the genuine smiles he showers her with.
The big, warm hugs he gives her the moment she arrives at Ichiraku Ramen.
The jokes, the laughter, the smiles.
Everything.
Hinata finally considered every bit of her situation, and she used the opportunity to take a step outside of herself, away from the troubling emotions that were stifling her, and instead take in the situation as a whole.
Her breath hitched.
Indeed, she has always wanted this.
Always.
And now, with her eyes opened, she has realized how silly she has been.
She has done nothing but speculate about Naruto's motives, questioning herself as a whole for liking his behavioral shifts.
She was so worried and anxious about the whole thing, as well as flustered and embarrassed by being so close to Naruto so suddenly, that she entirely failed to notice the positive elements of her predicament.
But now...
A smile arose on Hinata's face and in that moment, she felt a weight lift from her shoulders. She suddenly felt the worries she's been dealing with for a couple of weeks now set sail and fly away.
She finally sensed herself becoming free from her worries; free from it all. All thanks to her friends; Kiba and Shino.
She really needed this chat.
Because now, Hinata could finally see the situation from a different perspective, a more positive approach to her situation, and now she finds herself a little bit more...
appreciative.
She bawled her fists tight by her chest, biting her lip briefly, "Y-Yes, this is what I have wanted." She whispered, finally voicing out her own wants for a change, voicing that she indeed has always wanted Naruto to notice her, just in the way he has recently.
Kiba and Shino exchanged a joyful grin, both ninjas flawlessly catching their bashful friend's answer even in the midst of the raucous outside noises around them.
It was undoubtedly like music to their ears, and they were both comforted by the fact that their friend's sentiments of embarrassment and worry were no longer clouding her judgmentâno longer keeping her troubled.
The two men were pleased to find that their efforts had been successful and that their words of caution and contemplation had not been merely ignored or overlooked.
Kiba and Shino were certainly pleased to see Hinata finally diverted from her mental woes and the clamor of her irrational thoughts, which had previously blinded and hampered her. And ultimately, keeping her from finding happiness with the one man that almost everyone in the village knows can greatly comfort and increase Hinata's level of contentment.
Peace was now assured.
Kiba exclaimed joyfully, "See, there you go! So I say, quit your overreacting and relax! Enjoy the peace already!"
He shoved her shoulder again which actually caused Hinata to giggle, her body swaying a bit.
"Kami, if you're so worried about Naruto spending time with you, why don't you just ask him? Who knows, Shino might be right, your precious Naruto-kun might have finally woken up." Kiba teased with a laugh.
Hinata instantly gasped, her head space once again flooded by overwhelming thoughts, her body riddled with feelings of flusteredness.
Throughout Kiba's entire speech, one particular detail caught her attention the most.
My precious Naruto-kun.
Hinata's blush rushed back to engulf her whole tenfold, "H-Hey don't call him that!" The flustered kunoichi exclaimed in embarrassment before reaching over to slap Kiba's folded arm.
But her gesture of getting him back due to his teasing only pushed the brown-haired male to laugh and tease her even more.
"Oh, Naruto-kun! My precious Naruto-kun!"
"St-Stop it, Kiba-kun!"
"No! You make it so easy, Hinata-chan!"
Hinata grumbled, her heart racing in her chest as she was teased by Kiba but soon comforted by Shino.
After all was said and done, however, and after a much-needed conversation with her good friends, she found herself looking forward to the dinner get-together with Naruto.
Now, more than ever.

Free Days! Have a prompt you liked, but wasn't included? Have a spooky idea that doesn't quite fit one of the other days? These are the days designed specifically for you!
BONUS!- October 31st
So, I apparently am not good at counting. Which gave us an extra day to the week on accident! So, we decided to do something a little different for the accidental bonus day.
Twist An Episode Day!
-Basically, it's take any episode of Clone Wars, Bad Batch, anything the clones are in and twist it so the CLONES are the ones coming out on top. Do something to an episode so that it's the soldiers fighting, not the corrupt leadership, who benefit. Preferably something a little out there, a lil spooky, but it can be whatever you want. Use the extra day so that for once, it's the clones winning.
