It’s probably controversial (idk I’m a bottle of wine in on a rewatch) but peak Walter and Paige was beginning of season 2. I really think if they would’ve started dating would’ve been so cute!!! Their dynamic was so good. I think that’s why i struggle with season 3 because Tim changed that. And i hate him for it.

Masterlist Makeover
If you haven't noticed by now, I gave my Masterlists a makeover so it's more pretty looking. Now lets go over the weekly news.
Yes! I brought back the my Billie Eilish - Podcast book because all of you hated me when I took it down so...thank you for bullying me enough to bring it back. With that being said it's not how you remembered it if you read it and it involves the Kardashians. But the twist is I gave my OC the skims company as it's her own. And yes I will be bringing back the pregnancy scandal. Also submit your favorite AITA link or conspiracy theory so you just are also part of the creative process.
For my Paige Bueckers and UCONN fans and die hards, where can I watch the games in real time because the UCONN+ app thought they were funny and made it audio only....and I don't have cable to watch it on SNY. Love you guys!
If you are horny freaky fuck (no shade) and you liked the last chapter of Elementary Love because it was freaky you can go back and re-read that section if you want as I had twitter links...don't judge
Am I doing the tallest correctly because for some reason some usernames are underlined and others aren't? If not please help.
I just wanted to say that I love you guys and want to thank you guys for reading my work even it's more structured for wattpad rather than Tumblr. I still appreciate that you guys show love to to it. I also love when you guys submit submissions it makes my day each time and I love putting them in the beginning of each chapter

Secret Contact
Scorpion: Walter O'Brien, Paige Dineen, Ralph Dineen WordCount: 110 T(W): Arrest of a minor Request: Yes, “Can I request a Walter O'Brien x Fem!Reader where she is Paige's sister and they haven't talked in a few years. Maybe Ralph kept in contact with her and he asked her to come for an emergency instead of calling his mom. Maybe the reader and Walter end up together in the end. Make the rest up!🙂” – Anon A/N: I'm so incredibly sorry this has taken so long! I haven't been feeling like myself lately and have been moving and dealing with a lot of loss over the past year. I hope this is what you were looking for and I apologise again for the wait! ;-;
You hadn’t been in touch with your sister for years. You both had different views on how to deal with your mother and it led to a strained relationship between you both. Your nephew, being as intellectually inclined as he was, had kept in touch with you via email which you appreciated. You enjoyed him allowing you to be involved in his life. You attended his graduations throughout his education (always being in the back where your nephew could see you, but your sister could not). When your sister became friendly with a group of people who could understand your nephew and help your sister, you were grateful.
When your nephew called you to say that he was in trouble at school and that the FBI had arrested him, you knew you had to put your issues with your sister aside and turn up to defend your nephew. When you arrived at the FBI field office, you were met by Agent Gallo and your sister. You and Paige exchanged some vague pleasantries before Paige unexpectedly hugged you, holding back tears. You hugged her tightly back once your shock wore off. You got both Paige and Agent Gallo’s version of what happened and explained to Paige how you became aware of the situation.
You requested to speak to the Agent in charge of your nephew’s case. When this was refused you, begrudgingly, put your lawyer head on and demanded to speak with the agent in charge and to have the charges against your client brought to you. You also ensured that you went through the agents for speaking to your nephew (client) without either a lawyer or his mother present in the room with him.
After around an hour of back and forth you were finally given permission to speak with Ralph and find out what was happening and why they believed him to be a threat to national security. While you were in speaking with Ralph, Walter returned after speaking with his team. He enquired about who you were and why you were able to speak with Ralph. Gallo and Paige explained everything to him and he went to update his team on the new development. Once you had finished speaking with Ralph you returned to ring out the FBI agents again and threaten several different injunctions and lawsuits given they had allowed to be brought against them. Ralph’s objections to your following through on said suits made you stand down, but you made sure to make a mental note of everything, just in case.
You spoke with Walter and got his side and had him explain the technical side of the reason behind the arrest and what his team were working on. You amazed both yourself and Walter with how well you understood most of the premises of their theories and explanations. Once the case was over and Ralph had been cleared of any wrong-doing, you went back to the garage with the team, Paige and Ralph and had a barbeque on the roof. You spoke with everyone and even agreed a dinner date with Walter.

Scorpion - Thoughts
So I'd been seeing Scorpion shorts on YouTube for the last few weeks and I have Paramount+ so I decided to try the show out.
My thoughts on it, below.
Season 1 was excellent. No notes. Loved it.
Season 2 and beyond...less so.
What I LOVED:
Ralph:
Perfection. Adorableness and brilliance all in one package. No notes.
Happy, Toby and Quintis:
Equally as strong apart as they are together, these two were the reason I loved this show so much. God their whole relationship is just...😍😍😍😍 Where do I find me a man like that?
I loved every interaction and I loved how they both grew throughout the series, both as individuals and as a couple.
Sylvester:
I really liked how Sylvester and Megan were together. I loved his dedication to her and that last episode really made me sad for him. But I also like how he (along with Happy and Toby) really matured throughout the series. He realized that if he wanted things in life he was going to have to do things he feared and that was great to watch. I loved seeing him as a lawyer and the episode where he took the test was hilarious.
Cabe:
Found family is probably my favorite trope of all time, and while I don't think this show's execution was the best I've ever seen of it, I did really like how they treated Cabe, and how all of them recognized him as a father-figure in their lives. Also I really liked how the show used someone older for the fighter character. And I really liked Allie.
Paige:
Similar to the others, I really liked how she grew into her own in the series. I liked how she took control and basically forced them to listen to her. She had a lot of good sense and I loved her openness.
Tim/Florence: I'm bundling these two because they're clearly meant to be love interests rather than independent characters. That being said, I liked them both. Tim was a genuinely cool guy and Florence, though definitely uncertain, has a lot to offer.
Now for what I didn't like.
Bet you noticed that Walter wasn't in the list above. There's a reason for that. And I know that I'm probably going to catch flack for this opinion (though probably not much since the show's been over for 6 years).
Season 1 Walter was great. He was brilliant but misunderstood. Trying to understand people, making an effort.
Then came Season 2 and it was like all of that progress was tossed out the window.
Honestly, I started to HATE Walter in season 2. I don't remember when exactly, but when he deliberately started sabotaging Paige and Tim's date...(dude...that was pathetic AF)was what cinched it for me. I recognize that he didn't have any experience with jealousy, and that emotions are hard for him, but he makes it harder on himself by his unwillingness to see what others are pointing out to him. Everything surrounding him and Tim and Paige gave me such an ick that by the end of season 2 I didn't even care about him any more and I really didn't care about him and Paige.
He can't even use the excuse of his high IQ because Ralph's IQ is higher and Ralph understood that he was an ass to his mother, and that what he did was wrong. All of them did. Walter hides behind his intelligence, his score. It's all he has going for him. It's what bothered me the most, I think. How focused he was on a meaningless number (yes, IQ is a functionally irrelevant number that measures one aspect of a person's skillset - it's not an end-all-be-all number) and how much of his worth he attributed to it and his smarts. Every other character in their show had other things about them that made them dynamic and interesting. Walter really didn't other than Megan - and then she died and his story with her was over.
And what made it worse was his unwillingness to learn. Even when he and Paige DO get together, it's obvious that he doesn't compromise for her at all. She consistently points out to him things that are inappropriate or that she doesn't like and he promises to do better...and then never does.
It's one (of many) reason(s) that I don't see Paige X Walter as a survivable relationship. Contrast it with Happy and Toby and it's obvious. Toby is consistent in telling Happy how he feels about her, but he also shows up. Prioritizes her. And when she tells him that he needs to kick his gambling habit or they're done - HE DOES - without even a blink of hesitation. And he sticks TO IT (except for that one episode, but I'll get to that later). Toby and Happy recognize that they BOTH need to make changes to make their relationship work. Happy has to open up more and be more vulnerable, Toby has to mature, and they DO.
Paige recognizes this and tries to accommodate Walter's lack of EQ, but even she points out (multiple times) how exhausting it is always being the one doing the compromising.
The only episode I REALLY hated in his series was the one where Toby helps his ex-fiance with her identity theft problem. Narratively it's meant to show the foil between how Happy/Toby and Paige/Walter work in their relationships, but I still hate that they did it. Happy trusts Toby, never even thinks that her husband is going to cheat on her. But she worries that he's being tempted by his old life. Toby immediately rejects what's her name's kiss and says that he loves his wife and only his wife. He immediately comes CLEAN to his wife about what happened, he is open and honest with her about what he did and why. She's upset, and tells him why. In other words, they communicate and then move past the issue.
Paige and Walter...not so much. Even in that episode it's clear they're not on the same page about their relationship. The whole thing about the first kiss/etc. But this is even more important with Walter's whole lie fiasco. Yeah, he admits to the dream about Florence, but then he lies to Paige about the lecture and takes Florence. And lies about it. Again. And again. Even as the others are pointing out to him that he really shouldn't do that because even if it meant nothing his obfuscating of it makes him seem guilty. He even snaps back on Toby and Happy about how Paige will never find out about the lie because he thinks he's too smart to get caught (Dude, haven't you learned by now that Karma's a Bitch?).
So, all of this to say: Walter deserved every second of that ending. Lying to Paige was bad enough. But ALL of them tried to explain to him why what he was doing was bad. And Paige was 1000% correct in ripping him a new one about it. Sly, while I don't agree with him blaming Walter for Florence rejecting him, was correct that he needed time to move on from Megan. Walter blowing up at him about it was absolutely wrong. The way that he in particular told Paige that she was being ridiculous for her feelings and for pointing out how wrong he was to LIE about what he did just made me absolutely hate him. You can basically see the entirety of their relationship die in that second. Cardinal rule - never tell someone who is mad at you that they are being ridiculous. And I know he's lashing out in fear and anger, but it's another sign among many that he doesn't have the emotional maturity to handle an adult relationship. And it's not on Paige or anyone else to do the work necessary to get him there. In fact, I agree with her assessment that he started out at about age 9 emotionally and was about a 15/16 at that last point there. Then the way he snaps back at Happy and Toby for (AGAIN) pointing out to him that he's the architect of all of this was absolutely wrong. He's blaming everyone else for his failures except himself.
So, in the end, I'm glad they walked. I think the show is stronger without Walter in it. I'm not saying that Walter CAN'T grow up and mature, but I'm saying it's been made clear through the previous seasons that he doesn't WANT to. And it's not their jobs to do that for him. It's his. Maybe if it'd gotten picked up for a season 5 they'd have been able to change my mind, but I honestly doubt it. His smugness when he meets them in that office building in the last scene says it all about him - he cares more about his own ego, his own smarts, than he does about the well-being of his team. He cannot let go of his own ego. So yeah, I like the way they completely demolish him with the succinct little detail that they already got the other job.
Realistically they have a better chance of success anyway. Despite his smarts, Walter cannot do what Happy, Toby, Paige or Sly do. He can do some of it, but he lacks their skills and mastery, and Florence and Cabe are not enough to even begin to compensate for that.
I do understand why Cabe stayed. But I also think the others wouldn't blame him for it. Florence staying was just...😬😬.
I also really liked the contrasts between the two teams: Centipede is in crisp, white, matching uniform shirts. Very cohesive and professional. Walter, Florence and Cabe are in dark colors but different textures and styles. They're loosely grouped together.
My personal head-cannon is that Centipede would eventually become the de-facto government arm and that Cabe would be reassigned to them instead. Walter would end up going to work for Elia, maybe taking Florence along. I could see Paige re-starting a relationship with Tim and it actually working without Walter interfering.
Ralph could fairly easily replace Walter's role and I think he'd enjoy doing it. I also think he'd have a hard time forgiving Walter, not only for hurting his mom (AGAIN), but for the way he's treated the other members of the team. I know he mentioned really wanting Walter to be his dad, but I think he'd let go of that after what Walter did to his mom (AGAIN).
I could see Walter eventually making progress and growing up, but it definitely wouldn't be fixed within a season. I'd see that kind of re-evaluation of life and priorities taking a good 3-5 years, possibly longer.
The other thing that really started to rub me wrong on this show was its predictability - i.e. opening relationship drama, then job, job is easy then - NOPE something goes wrong - usually something one of them does. Then at least one of them almost dies. Then they have to figure out how to save the other(s), save the day, and then fix the relationship drama of the week. It's all a bit...boring.
So while the show overall had some great moments (QUINTIS is my new OTP), overall the show's quality and writing was pretty mid.

Truth, Dare, or Statistics
Sylvester Dodd x Reader
Warnings: fluff, female reader, bit of self-deprecating talk, Paige outs your crush on Sly
"You should just tell him." Paige's voice startled me out my trance. I shook my head and turned to look at her.
"What?"
She sighed. "You need to tell Sylvester. It would make you feel better."
"Oh no. No, no, no. I cannot tell him! He is a certified genius and I'm just a nobody. Seriously, I don't even know why you guys let me hang around," I said.
Paige sat next to me at the table, laying a hand on my arm. "You are not a nobody. Everyone loves having you around. You are smarter than you think and you help everyone here."
I laid my head on her shoulder, resting my hand on hers. "Thanks Paige. But still, Sly could do so much better than me."
"He really couldn't. He loves you."
I shot straight up and stared at her. "Nu uh. You are kidding me."
Paige smiled. "You're just too busy denying everything to see it. But I see they way he looks at you when you're not paying attention. You're the moon to him."
My face scrunched in confusion. "Isn't it normally 'you're the sun'?"
"How do you look at the sun?" Paige countered.
"I don't. It hurts."
"And how do you look at the moon?"
I sighed, seeing her point. "Like it's the most beautiful thing in existence. But come on, Paige."
Paige shook her head. "Don't you dare. I may not be a certified genius but I can tell when someone's in love."
I shrugged.
Paige patted my shoulder. "You'll see." She ignored my gaze as she stood from the table and walked off. She walked over to the staircase and called up to our friends.
"Guys, break time! Get down here!"
She had a smile on her face as she walked back over to me and pulled me to the couch.
Surprisingly, our friends had listened to her and came downstairs.
"What's going on, Paige?" Walter asked, taking a seat next to his girlfriend.
Paige pulled out her phone and began typing. "You guys have been up there for hours so it's time for a break. I ordering pizza and we're gonna play a game."
"Ooh, what kind of game?" Toby asked.
Paige finished ordering and put her phone away. "We're gonna play Truth, Dare or Statistics."
"What's that?" Happy asked, grabbing a chair from the table.
"It's like basic truth or dare but you have the option to ask for a statistical question. So if it was my turn and I asked (Y/N) "truth, dare or statistic" and she chose statistic, I would ask a statistical question such as "how many women have green eyes". She would give me an answer and if she was correct, it'd be her turn to ask somebody else but if she gets it wrong then I get to make her do whatever I want." Paige explained.
"I like this game!" Toby exclaimed, sitting by Happy.
"I take it I'm in charge of deciding if a statistics answered correctly?" Sylvester asked. He grabbed a chair and moved to sit by me so we were all sitting in a circle.
"Yup. Ready to play?"
The group agreed and the game began. Toby managed to dare Happy to let Paige dress her in one of her outfits and Walter got asked who he was secretly jealous of. (He tried to get out of it but said it was Sly.)
The pizza came after a couple of rounds and we chowed down as we continued on with the game.
We were dying of laughter as Sylvester got dared to sing the National Anthem in falsetto. Finally Paige turned to me.
"Truth, dare, or statistic, (Y/N)?"
"Statistic. Let's see if my random ability to guess numbers works on this."
"What is the likelihood that Sylvester has a crush on you?"
Everything went quiet. I felt frozen as Paige's question processed in my head. I couldn't look at anybody else but Paige, too scared to see what their reaction would be.
"0%. We've talked about this Paige," I answered quietly.
"But you're wrong! Please, I just want to see my best friends happy!" Paige pleaded.
I shook my head and stood up. "Thanks for trying, Paige. I'll see you later."
I started walking away when Sylvester called out. "Paige is right! Don't you want to hear the correct answer?"
I stopped walking and wiped the tears from my eyes. "Sure," I said turning around, faking a smile.
Sly took a deep breath, fiddling with his fingers. "The likelihood that I have a crush on you is not 0%. It's 100%. I've just been too scared to say anything because I thought you could do better."
"Sly, no one could be better than you. You're a literal genius and so so kind to everyone. What's not to love about you?" I walked over to where Sylvester was standing, fighting the nerves.
Sly smiled and took my hand. "So what do you say? Will you let me take you on a date?"
I smiled back and nodded.
"Finally!" Toby yelled.
I jumped and turned to face my friends that I forgot were still here. "What?"
"We've been waiting forever for you two to finally confess." Happy explained.
"The fact that you couldn't see the pining happening was excruciating! I was dying to force you two into a closet till you guys kissed but Paige said no." Toby added.
"Which is why I'm confused you practically forced them to say something now." Walter pitched in.
Paige grimaced. "I know. I didn't want to force you guys to do anything but I didn't want to see you in pain coming up with different scenarios where Sly rejected you, (Y/N). The guys needed a break from their work so they wouldn't get burned out and I saw an opportunity."
I glared at Paige before smiling gently. "Well, thank you I guess. I probably wouldn't have done anything if you hadn't intervened."
Sylvester squeezed my hand and smiled. "At least we know now. No sense worrying about what might have been."
I nodded and leaned against him. "I think we've had enough of a break. Sly, wanna show me what you've been working on?"
Sly nodded and began talking about his project as we made our way upstairs. I looked back over my shoulder and smiled at Paige, giving her a silent thank you.
She smiled back and nodded.

If you guys are fans of the show Scorpion that aired on CBS from 2014-2018, I highly recommend you check this story out! It eventually turns into a Toby Curtis x reader, but I'll leave the synopsis below.
Y/n had always been different, and it was probably due to her high IQ of 178. But when she meets the people who share a similar range of intelligence, she feels right at home. Along with Team Scorpion, Y/n helps save the world from deadly problems. And while things don't always go as planned, Y/n knows the team has her back, especially the hat-wearing psychiatrist who Y/n can't help but fall for. They may have their issues and challenges, but they always manage to stick together in the end. But case after physically and mentally demanding case takes a toll on people. So will the team stick together? Or will they eventually crumble under the pressure?

OH MY GOD DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON SCORPION 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I know buddie follows procedural slowburn format, but I'm rewatching scorpion and tell me why Walter and Paige are literally buddie? The single parent struggling to help their kid, meeting someone he just decides to love them. Ralph's father literally also shows up on episode 7. This is insanity.

sticky note // alex walter x reader
Tumblr media
summary: alex is in love with jackie, you leave him a sticky note explaining how you’re feeling.
warnings: underage drinking, sadness
word count: 481
a/n: requests/asks are open & encouraged! my first ever post (scroll down) is a list of characters i will write for!
“she didn’t say it back… y/n why didn’t she say it back?”
“all good questions for tomorrow, alex.”
the back of his knees hit the bed and he fell. luckily you’d moved the blankets so you were able to pull them over him and tuck him in. a few moments later you come back into the room with water and advil. alex is asleep so you set everything on his nightstand and fill out a sticky note, ignoring the stinging in your eyes and pinning it to the glass.
katherine is downstairs, taking a step away from the wedding. she waves you over and you walk with a small smile that you have to fake. does she know her son’s drunk and pining for the girl they took in? her best friend’s daughter? probably not, but anything’s possible. maybe she knows he’ll have a hangover tomorrow, maybe she knows he beoke your heart. maybe—but you aren’t about to tell her. “everything’s so beautiful,” you gushed. flattery could bury anything. sadness, anxiety, guilt, lies. all things you were riddled with.
katherine nodded. she was beaming, a perfect smile aimed at you as she sung the praises of the newest addition to the walter household. “that was all jackie,” she credited. “she’s worked so hard.”
she had but still, your smile became more forced. jackie was sweet and really good at things (better than you were, unless we were talking about how many words you could write/read per minute or how many kills you could get on just about any fps game) but even though her smile was nice and she’d been through a lot, you couldn’t make yourself be anything but civil.
you couldn’t be her friend. not when you felt like she was toying with alex’s feelings. not when cole was involved and the paige situation was still so raw alex would talk to you about it and hadn’t forgiven his brother. “i don’t doubt it,” you said. “it was a beautiful ceremony. now,” you hug katherine. “i’ve got to head home before it gets too dark.”
“do you have a drive?”
“no, but it’s okay. i like to walk.” you assured her.
“alone? y/n it’s late. i’m not sure i like that… stay the night, please.”
you weren’t good at saying no. especially not to sweet parental figures who only want what’s best for you and that make the best food. “you can sleep on the couch… or… in alex’s room as long as there’s no funny business.” you laughed and raised a brow, ‘really?’ was your silent question and katherine just shook her head. “don’t tell george.” she amended. “i won’t.” you swore.
katherine piled blankets and pillows from the linen closet into your arms and patted your shoulder as you passed, heading back to Alex’s room. you made a pallet on the floor and fell asleep, completely forgetting about the sticky note you’d left him.
the one that said: “hey alex, hope the hangover isn’t too horrendous. i didn’t mind taking care of you last night because that’s what friends are for, but you said some things that upset me and i’m just going to need a little time.”

Scorpion being cancelled after the season four finale is like Lucifer remaining cancelled after season three but never coming back.
Just a DUMPSTER FIRE.
I’m so bitter.
Atleast release a special episode. Or a movie and wrap this baby up. This is why I’m against cliffhangers.

Walter x reader - a little unsure
Tumblr media
Walter O'brian x reader. Either reader is a vigilante (yes. I have a problem. an obsession with vigilante reader. shh.) or is one of his co-workers. Maybe a Tony Starkisc reader? Smart with mechanics and VERY VERY advanced things but not the best with emotions. (like the rest of the team.) their feelings for each other got so bad, even the team had to yell at them their feelings are shared. - @nyxiethesimp 💜
A/N: it’s been a while since I watched the show so sorry if it’s bad 😅
Sitting in front of your desk, you grabbed the wrench next to you and carried on working in the part of the car engine in front of you.
You heard the door to your garage open then it closed.
“You haven’t been in for the past two days.”
You glanced up at the man who walked in then back down to what you were working on and he walked over, sitting in front of you.
“Your case isn’t all that interesting to me.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s a plain and simple car jacking, that is boring Walter, you know it’s boring too, I don’t see why you took it.”
“There’s more too it, I was actually hoping I would be able to convince you to help. I was going to send Paige since she’s more of communication person, but they told me to come.”
You set the wrench down, then you picked up something else to take apart the engine so you could get at what you needed.
While you were doing that Walter set a few papers on the table.
“There were some microchips in the car, they contain codes for missiles all over the country, they were going to be sold, we need to find them.”
“So, check all the sites, they’ll be up there somewhere.”
“Done that, nothing. Cabe was hoping you could check with some of your informants.”
You stopped what you were doing and looked at Walter, leaning back in your chair.
You held out your hand and he got up, walking around the table to sit on it in front of you, handing them over.
You flicked through them, taking one of them before handing him back the rest.
“Yeah, okay. But he owes me money.”
“I don’t understand why you don’t just work with us, you do the same thing, and you’ll get a regular pay as well.”
Folding up the paper, you set it inside your jacket pocket.
“I don’t like other people Walter, people get in the way, working as a team makes things go slowly and I have no patience for that.”
“But you like the team. Right?”
“Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t let them come here.”
Walter followed you across the room.
“You don’t let Cabe in.”
“He’s a federal agent, for both our sakes it better he doesn’t know what I do properly, what he doesn’t know can’t get him trouble, and it means I also don’t get arrested.”
“So, will you help?”
You nodded, grabbing the keys to your bike as well your helmet.
“I’ll meet you at yours.”
“Thank you.”
He left and you left a few minutes later, heading to one of the well known underground bars and you walked to the bartender.
You leant over the counter.
“Stolen microchips, what do you know?”
He looked at you.
“Nothing you need to know.”
Humming a little, you grabbed him by the collar, slammed your helmet against his forehead and you shoved him back.
The whole place fell silent.
“Look I’m in a hurry, I have a car I need to fix, a friend who’s waiting for answers, so, let’s try this again. What do you know.”
He gave you some papers and you began following the trail.
You worked fast and brutal, you did what you had to in order to get the job done, and by the end of the day you made your way back to Walter.
Walking through the doors, you made your way to Cabe.
“You owe me.”
“How much do you want?”
Pulling off your helmet you thought for a moment, making your way to Walter’s desk, sitting next to him.
“I’ve changed my mind, no money. I’ll save this for a rainy day.”
“You know there’s some things I can’t bail you out off.”
“I know.”
“So, what did you do to get this, because we couldn’t find it.” Toby said.
You waved your hand dismissively at him, leaning your head on Walter’s shoulder and he looked at you before going back to his work.
You stared at his screen in boredom.
Computers weren’t your thing, but when it came to anything else, that’s where you came in handy.
Yawning slightly, you kicked your feet up on his desk.
“(Y/N) please, that’s unsanitary, put your feet down.”
You grumbled a little but complied, putting your feet back on the floor.
Everybody shared a look at the pair of you, but neither of you noticed it, or the way that the pair of you would occasionally sneak a glance at the other.
“How long until they finally come out with it?” Toby asked.
“At this rate never. Honestly how two people so smart can be so oblivious is beyond me.” Happy said.
“Well, maybe somebody should tell them.” Sylvester suggest.
“That’s not a bad idea, but maybe we should try setting them up first.” Paige suggested.
Everybody immediately agreed with her, since she was the more compassionate of the group.
And that’s what they did, they tried to set you both up on dinners to drinks and nobody else turning up.
They tried everything and neither of you could see how the other felt.
Finally they had enough.
Walter was sat with your in your garage and they walk came bursting through the doors.
“We’ve had enough!” Happy yelled.
You looked up from where you were laid with your head in Walter’s lap.
“Of what?” You asked confused.
“You two are in love with each other! Discuss!”
They all stood there and you turned to Walter confused, and he looked just as confused.
Taking his hand, you led him to your office and closed the door and blinds for privacy.
“I.. I don’t know what they’re talking about..”
You studied him for a moment.
“Is it true?” You asked.
“I.. I don’t.. they’re not..”
He fumbled for his words, not able to get them out.
“Walter.”
He stopped, looking at you.
“Look, we both suck at the whole emotion thing, but Paige doesn’t, neither does Toby, or Cabe, and Happy and Sylverster know more than both of us combined about it.”
“Yes, I’m aware of that.”
You pointed to you, then you pointed at him.
“So, me and you. They’ve seen something, we need to figure it out.”
“Well… I.. I don’t.. you go first.”
“I like you, I get along with you and I don’t want to hit you if that counts for something.”
“You don’t want to hit me?”
“I want to hit a lot of people.”
He nodded his head.
“Well, I.. I suppose that I do enjoy your company…”
You both went quiet.
“So… would you maybe consider dinner..?” He mumbled.
You smiled a little.
“Absolutely, how about now?”
He nodded and you held out your hand, letting him unsurely take it.
Neither of you knew what you were doing, or if you were doing this right, but you decided to just roll with it and see where it went

City Girl Rescue
(a/n: so basically reader is jackie but w “y/n” and reader isnt down bad for cole. Enjoy 🫶🏻 also i have a good pt 2 in my head so lmkk if anyone wants that eventhough ill prob write one anyway cuz i am down bad for this man 💋 cole aint got nothing on him)
My Life With the Walter Boys
Alex Walter x reader
plot: reader gets lost during walk during thanksgiving drama, but of course everything goes wrong. (same plot as in the show but i tweaked it)
-
Goosebumps, annoying, airpods in. It’s hard to ignore the persistent drama of the Walter house. Especially the drama between, my boyfriend, Alex and, his older brother, Cole. Not to mention the glances Cole keeps throwing at me.
It gets harder to ignore when the glances become stares. Words shared between us also prove his infatuation. I’m not tryna be another paige, so I hope Alex hasn’t noticed.
I glance down at my phone to check the time. 5? I left at 2! I quickly open the maps app to figure out the way home, but the signal isn’t strong enough. Well it couldn’t get anyworse! I eat my words as sounds signaling thunder and a cold storm fill the sky.
Anxiety truly begins to set in. I slid down one the tree ive posted up next to and scramble to call Katherine. I let it ring until im met with her voicemail. I instantly recall that the surprise party for Nathans return from the hospital is right now, no no no! The fear that they wont notice my absence worsens my anxiety. Next I, more frantically, called Alex.
If he doesnt pick up…
“Hey Y/n where are you?”
I breathe for the first time in what felt like minutes..
Now i must confess the deeply embarrassing truth, “Alex, I’m ummm, I’m lost- I was going for a walk and I-I don’t know and I don’t know what to do.”
In the mere moments that I’ve been crouched by the tree the sky has darkened and rain drops have begun. As I word vomit to Alex I can’t stop the breathe catching sobs that quickly take over my overwhelmed state. “Alex- I don’t know what to do”
“Hey. Y/n i need you to take a few deep breaths ok sweetheart” I close my eyes and listen to his voice, “Do you have any idea where you are baby?” I sniffle a response together, “No, theres trees.. a lot of trees and there was a path of sand tint gravel, but it’s gone and theres a hill too.” “Okay baby I know where you are I’ll be there as fast as I can-stay on the phone with me alright?”
The rain is now heavy without any escape and the thunder and lightning fill the sky. Yet, his voice has somehow soothed me. I glance down at my screen for the first time in a while; which is now dusted with raindrops, “Alex, my phone its about to die-“
Dead. And now I’m alone again in the wild and freezing temperatures. My shirt sticks to my skin soaked completely as well as my jeans that weigh me down with the amount of water intake. All I can do now is wait.
-
I don’t know how much time has passed at this point. Definitely not as much as it feels. I’m scary cold, my body is becoming numb, and I’m tired. super tired.
My shut eyes spring open by the new noise of twigs snapping. “Y/N! Y/N!”
My heart swells- its Alex! His voice sounds harsh like hes been yelling for a while, “ALEX! I’m right here!”
I try to rise from my position underneath the tree but i fall flat on my hands and knees. It’s so dark at this point that I can only see the distant light that Alex carries with him.
It moves erratically and is accompanied by sounds evoked by Alex’s running through the muddied forest.
He is quickly in-front of me discarding his layers. As soon as his hoodie, jean jacket, and raincoat is off of him he is dressing me with urgent yet noticeably delicate movements. “How do you feel Y/n?” He speaks pulling the hood over my head, before he puts his beanie on my head I grab his hand and look him in the eyes, “Alex- I’m ok, leave the beanie just get us out of here, please,” Without skipping a beat I’m scooped up and whisked away cradled in his arms to the family’s good-ole chariot. The beat of his heart and strong arms, definitely from all the farm labour, calm me.
He sets me with the same delicate actions into the passenger seat. My shivering has slowed and before he can turn away I grab him by the back of his neck with both hands and kiss him. His body leans into the car; one hand is around my waist while his other is on the dash securing himself. Our wet lips crash against one another’s and we both quickly become panting messes.
I pull away and his own face follows mine keeping us an inch apart. “Thank you Alex- I’ve never… been lost like that,” He grins that smile that brings warmth to my cheeks and butterflies into my stomach, “Ofcourse you haven’t- ye’arent used to having forests to get lost in city girl.”

a/n: @bbr0wni3 and I had the same idea for a story, so I hope you like the final result :) and sorry for gatekeeping sooo long
Tumblr media
Alex had been quiet for the entire walk home. It felt like the school day had passed painfully slow, without his sympathy, his jokes, or his comments in math class. I've tried to find out the reason for his silence, but each time I asked about it, he changed the topic and I was left clueless.
Of course, I thought about what could bother him so much, but none of my suggestions were that convincing. Maybe it was his bad history essay? Or did he have had another fight with Cole? Was it about Paige? She had become his black shadow over the last year and if I'm being honest, I never really liked her. I mean, as Alex's best friend, I have little say in his dating life, even though my opinion is important to him.
Because when Alex falls in love, no one can stop him. It happens quickly and is usually associated with a lot of pain afterwards.
But if I remember things correct, Alex has been acting a bit strange for a while now. I mean, I tried to get to the bottom of his sudden mood-changes, but understanding Alex's mind has never been an easy task.
Good thing for me, I've never liked things too easy. Then again, bad thing for me, that I'm in love with my best friend.
I didn´t notice it at first and I can't pinpoint the exact moment, when my feelings for him meant more than just friendship.
Alex has always been a special person in my life, someone I could open my heart to and who would never hurt me. Apparently, I opened the doors to my heart a little too wide for him, because on one warm spring day, when I couldn't stop looking at his smiling face, my feelings for him became very clear to me. I literally hung on every word he said and I didn't even know at that point, that you could see a light in his eyes, when he talked about something he liked, that shone as beautiful as the rays of the sun.
And then, without even paying attention to what he was saying anymore (I think it was something about a new video game, he was playing), I quickly wrote down a few phrases in my notebook. that came to my mind. Unfortunately, I probably acted a little bit too hectic, because he stopped talking mid-sentence, irritated but curious.
"What are you doing?" I heard him ask, a smile on his lips. He leaned towards me and before I could hide it, he read the words out loud.
"Looking at you is like having the sun right in front of me.
I´m blinded by your beauty."
I thought my heart would give out at that moment, but he just grinned at me with twinkling eyes and asked who these two poetic sentences were addressed to. I said back then that it was about a character from a movie, because he wouldn't have bought anything else. After all, he had known me for so long that he knew about every crush I ever had, so choosing a boy from school would have been out of question.
But he never found out that my inspiration was actually him.
However, when I clear my thoughts and turn to look at him now, a visible frown is attached all over his beautiful features. I decide to put my arm around his arm, the typical pose for a married couple, so he isn´t able to get away from me and I can convince him to hang out. With the aim that I can lighten up his sadness.
Unfortunately now, much to my discomfort, he's looking at me with raised eyebrows, which is why I finally bring up the sensitive topic.
"So, something is clearly bothering you and I will take it as my duty to change your miserable mood. Don´t protest, because we are going to my place and I will take care of you with lots of ice cream. How does that sound?" I see a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, he signs but then quietly nods. And when we arrive at my house, luckily my parents are still at work, I turn the key and let us in. He takes off his jacket, my eyes secretly wander to him and I notice, while my heart is pounding, that he wears my favorite sweater. A white one with a blue hood.
He fixes his hair, that always need to look perfect and I smile lightly, because I love every time that I can get on his nerves, when I ruffle through it. He throws himself on the sofa and while I turn on the heater and go into the kitchen to get the ice cream, he has already made himself comfortable with a blanket. When I see him hugging a pillow, still scowl on his face, I sit myself right next to him. But as he keeps his attention at the black TV, I notice his exhausted figure and decide to speak up.
"Alex, come on. Talk to me, something is obviously going on. I don´t like it, when you are sad. Plus, I really miss your smile." My hand rests on his shoulder, lightly stroking the hair on the back of his neck, because I know he has a weakness for physical touch. When I see him struggling to keep up his act, I approach him and whisper "you can tell me anything, you know that right? I would never judge you."
Again, he signs loudly, but finally looks at me. His eyes are searching for mine and now that his attention is focused completely on me, I suddenly feel uneasy.
"D-did I do something?" My nerves are getting thinner by the second. I hate to upset him. Probably because I love seeing him happy so much.
"No, it´s-" his hand brushes over his face. "It is complicated." I'm still trying to understand, why he can't tell me what's going on.
"You didn´t do something illegal, didn´t you? I mean, I would still be your best friend, but I would have to make up a story, why I'm visiting you in prison-" at that, he quietly laughs and shakes his head.
"It´s legal, even though I feel like it shouldnt be." Now I'm curious and scared at the same time.
"Please, tell me. I´m dying to know." I try to put on my best puppy dog look, even though it probably looks pretty stupid.
A few seconds later, he slowly raises his hand and places it on my cheek, gently stroking my skin, while still holding the eye contact. His gesture leaves me speechless. I mean we cuddled every now and then during a movie or I've fallen asleep on him. I've also kissed him on the cheek once while doing a chore, but otherwise we always kept a decent distance. The fact that he's coming so close to me now is catching me off guard.
"You...you would tell me if you like someone, right?" His question surprises me.
"Yeah, of course. You now, that I can barely keep something from you. You always know what I get you for your birthday, because I can´t resist, when you keep asking me about it." His hand slowly sneaks into mine. My eyes wander to our laps. I feel myself getting more and more confused.
"Alex, what´s going on? I don´t hide anything from? Do you think otherwise?" I feel a pang in my heart as I look into his eyes.
"I heard a rumor" he begins to say and I draw my eyebrows together at his words. He never considers any rumors, because most of the time they are false anyway.
"And?" I want him to continue.
"It was about you and-" hopefully not about the fact that I'm in love with you, just let it stay my secret.
"-Cole." What?
"What?" He signs, looking away from me.
"Someone said, he heard you talking about how in love you were with him or something. That you prefer him over me." He averts his eyes so he's no longer looking at me. I almost laugh at this ridiculous statement.
"Do you really believe that? That I would prefer Cole over you? My funny and kind, but sometimes very very stupid best friend? You really think, I hang out with you in every free second, that I have, because I like your brother? Who is by the way, not even close on my list of people I would visit in prison." I'm glad he didn't do anything illegal and it's just about a stupid rumor. But now, I still have to convince him, that it is in fact just a rumor.
He is quiet for a moment, but when he speaks up, I almost laugh at his question.
"Where am I on your list?" His eyes look into mine and now I'm the one taking his hands.
"Alex" I start to speak in a gentle voice "you will always be my number one, you hear me? I don´t think, I like another person in this world or in this universe as much as I like you. Sometimes, it feels like you are literally the reason, that the earth revolves. Because for me, my world revolves around you. I enjoy every second, I spent with you and I would never, ever trade this for even a minute with Cole. Okay? Never. I promise."
I finally see his shoulders relax and a genuine smile that spreads across his face. When I nudge him on the shoulder, he laughs.
"You, big dummy. I thought, you would tell me, you robbed a bank or something."
"Oh, I would never dare. You would kick my ass." We smile at each other in silence.
But I still want to know, how it comes, that he would believe something so ridiculous.
"So, why did you think, I would prefer Cole over you?" It hurts a little to think, that he believes he´s not that important for me.
"Because" he begins to say, gesturing with his hands "the Cole effect exits and all that. Every girl falls for his charm or whatever. I can´t compete with him." Something I will never understand. How he always makes himself look bad in comparison to his older brother.
"Well, for the matter, you affect me with your smart and kind soul. And I think my heart could bear it a lot better, if you would not look like a dream come true."
He's silent for a moment and I begin to panic, when he suddenly looks at me with a nervous expression.
"Can I- I mean, I think I´m going to say something really concerning. And it will affect our friendship, like a lot. So, just let me say it." Since that means, that he wants to talk about something important, I stay quiet. Nevertheless, still holding his hand for support.
He exhales heavily, but then looks directly at me. "I know you for as long as I can remember, you were by my site since the second I walked on this earth. You know, quite literally, because we were in the same kindergarden group. You were my first friend and I remember so many moments, that will forever exist in my memory. And...in my heart. Because you seem to have a say in what my heart wants and it feels like it wants you, for some time now. I know you are my best friend, but I cant imagine someone else being so connected in my life. In everything I do, everything I am. You support my decisions, even if you don´t like them. When you force me to watch rom-coms with you and the characters talk about finding their soulmate, doing all these cheesy things, I realize I want that too. With you. Since watching the Notebook three weeks ago, I wake up every day and wish that you would lay next to me. So, I could-"
He leans forward and with a shy smile, that makes my heart burst with happiness, he kisses me. It´s a feeling, I never want to miss again.
"-kiss you. It would be the first thing I would do in the morning."
He tucks a strand of hair behind my ears.
"I would-" his hands move to my waist and pull me onto his lap. "-make you sit right here and whisper all the things I adore about you. Like-" he kisses my forehead, I feel his lips across my face. I close my eyes and enjoy being so close to him. He leans further towards me, his lips brush over my neck and leaves a kiss there.
He mutters a few words, that I -much to my dislike- can´t understand. But I´m too caught up in his embrace to ask about it.
But then, he seems to get more confident and when he speaks again, I almost tear up.
"I love you. As my best friend, my heart, my love, my person. If you let me. I'll be yours, if you want to be mine."
I kiss him again, letting the tears flow, because I don´t know what else I could do to show my happiness. When we break apart, I look at him. A lovesick feeling inside my chest.
We're holding each other in our arms, but just a few seconds pass until his curiosity wins and he turns to me.
"That quote, that you wrote a few weeks ago, about someone being like the sun for you. Who was it about? Because you did not, just for once, talked about a fictional character. I would remember." Okay, I didn't expect that.
His beautiful eyes continue to look at me, encouraging me to come out with the truth. I nervously smile, tracing the lines in his hand.
"As you said, you ever looked at someone and just thought: This is my person? Someone, you want to have in your life, no matter, if it´s just a friend, a boyfriend or maybe even a best friend." I look at him, searching in his eyes, that he knows how I feel. Then I continue.
"Someone who makes you smile just by existing. Or someone who has a shitty humor, but he delivers his jokes so perfect, it makes you laugh anyway. Someone, who holds my heart and my mind in his hands, even if he doesnt know it."
"What´s he like?" His eyes are curious, but to my surprise, he seems irritated by the thought, that I could be in love with someone. Someone, who isnt him. You big, big, idiot.
"He's kind, has a fascination for fantasy books and for riding horses, playing baseball or fighting creatures in video games. He doesn't know, why I have a soft spot for sweet, gentle and caring characters, even though he is my inspiration for writing them."
His lips part in surprise.
"He's my everything. Sometimes it makes me sad, because I can´t love someone else, the same way. But then, I look at him and I feel like, why do I even want to love someone else, when he exits." I pause for a moment.
"When you exist."
My words make him speechless, but he continues to hold me close to his heart.
"For a long time, I didnt even know I had feelings for you too, Alex. You were always like a second home for me.
You are someone I trust the most and who I rely on in any kind of situation. You make me laugh and you´re always there for me. At first, I didnt notice my change of feelings. Because you kept being my safe place, but as I grew up, I realized that nothing mattered the way, you matter to me.
Sometimes, when I look at you, it feels like I have met my other soul or that maybe, we share the same. Nothing in this world is as important to me than you or your feelings. Maybe it wasnt clear enough for you to see, but I am in love with you.
Your existence in this world is so special and like nothing else, I could ever dream of. Because you are my dream, the most-dearest one."

Scorpion: Walter O'Brien, Gabe Gallo WordCount: 371 T(W): Keeping secrets Request: Yes, “Can we get a Walter O'Brien x Fem!Reader Maybe she's Cabe's daughter, but no one on team Scorpion knows, not even Cabe, until she shows up one day. This is the first time I've requested a story! Sorry if it's bad, not enough to go on, or too much to go on”- Anon A/N: GIF Credit belongs to the original owner. I'm so sorry this has taken so long!
Tumblr media
You hadn’t intended to get involved with anyone from your father’s team. You only wanted to get to know him. You thought the best way would be to befriend someone on his team of geniuses and introduce yourself to him slowly over time. You never intended to get romantically involved with someone you intended only to be friends with. This wasn’t the plan.
You accidentally met Walter in a café when he was picking up drinks for his team after they had pulled an all-nighter working on a case and you had gotten up ridiculously early to meet a friend for breakfast. You had both gotten talking and neither of you realized when your drinks got cold and the time had gotten away from you until you both received calls from your respective people. You exchanged numbers and agreed to arrange a time and place to meet again.
It had been a few weeks since you and Walter’s last date and you had decided to drop by his work on your way to a meeting, you hadn’t expected to walk past the man that you had come to the city to meet. He was just leaving the garage as you were exiting your car and, although he looked considerably older than the one solitary picture your mother had shown you, you knew instantly that this was your father. The man you had come to the city to introduce yourself to and to get some answers to some burning questions.
Over the next few weeks you were introduced to the team, you were not a fan of Tim, he was too cocky and something felt off about him. You like Happy and Toby, you were wary of Sylvester due to his germaphobia and not wanting to trigger him. You weren’t sure how to take Paige, but you stayed around the peripherals of Gabe and Toby’s psychology (just in case he figured it out and accidentally inferred or told everyone before you were ready).
When you finally found the courage to speak to Gabe, the team were just given an assignment and they all had to leave the state for the assignment. You wished them goodluck and watched them leave for their flight.
Tag list is open.
