You, Me, Lonely.
(s.h. x reader)
from the river to the sea (educate yourself and help however you can)
Summary: you love Steve, Steve loves you. But maybe you both want different things from life.
Warnings/tags: reader menstruates (reader has uterus), abandonment issues, the âsix nuggetsâ talk, suggestive
Word count: 3.4k
masterlist
a/n: huge huge huge thanks to @procrastinationprincesses for helping me out with this fic and giving it an ending (ur amazing sanjana <3)
writing and posting something because i might have to go MIA for a lil bit (miss me while I'm gone will ya?)
fic is inspired by âYou, Me, Lonelyâ by FIZZ i absolutely love this song like its so close to my heart ughh what can i say I'm a little bitter about the six nuggets sceneÂ
also if you couldn't tell already I have major abandonment issues and an anxious avoidant attachment style. It will reflect in what i write soz :(
In the quiet of the night, you wish for this to last forever. That you'll have him forever.
When you came out of the shower you found him asleep on his side of the bed. His sideâ the one closer to the door. âso I can protect you from anyone who'll try to steal you from meâ, he had justified it when you asked him why he was adamant on that side.
you had turned off the bedside lamp ten minutes ago, slipped under the duvet, as quietly as possible so as to not wake him up. on your side of his bed. your bed.
He always sleeps on his stomach, one hand under his pillow and the other extended a little towards yours. His body moves with steady and slow breaths, back rising and falling under the covers, head peeking out from under the rumpled up duvet. his cheeks are squished against the pillow cover. His hair is a mess from the lack of hair product, and still damp from the shower he took before you. There's a few strands of his brown hair sprawled across his forehead too. With your softest touch you brush them away from his eyes.
You wonder what he was dreaming. you hope it was something nice. He looks calm, at peace, and very, very pretty.
You look at him and you know you love him. You want to love him forever.
Love had never seemed like the type of thing youâll getâ like it wasn't meant for you. But then you met him. This boy. This boy who you never thought to be your type. You never thought you even had a type. But his boyish charm and stupid grin won you over.
Your heart doesn't skip beats around him anymore, and youâd think that that means he doesnât have that same effect on you anymore but that would be wrong. You donât think youâve ever loved anyone as much as you do to him. You donât look at him and get butterflies in your stomach, you look at him and⊠youâre sure. your heart is quiet and sure. You don't think youâve ever been sure before.
You want to be sure forever.
He feels like the comfortable still of rain after a scorching hot summer, like the calm and cold breeze that cools you down. Like standing at the top of the mountain, looking at the clouds and valleys below, he feels like the crisp air that fills your lungs. Like the comfort meal your mom makesâ the one you can never really recreate, the one that tastes the best when it comes from her.Â
You love him and you know. You know. You know he likes you, loves you even.Â
Steve Harrington loves you like a dream, and you're worried that one day heâll wake up, look at you and realise that he deserves so much better. Heâll wake up and heâll leave for work and heâll bump into a pretty angel of a girl with a disposition as bright as his. And heâll never return. people fall out of love. People fall out of love all the time.
You wish for him to love you forever.
How long is a forever anyway?
You wonder what it'll be like. When you're older, with wrinkles, white hair and weaker limbs.Â
It's like you see it.
You and him in a bedâ just like now but older, wiser, more tired. His back turned to you. There'd be distance between you two, youâd want to move closer and hold himâ but you wouldn't. Youâd just stare at the back of his head, counting all the grey hairs youâd memorised like all the moles and wrinkles on his skin.
Youâd notice his breathing, the rise and fall of his chest and you would have known him so long and so well that you'd just know that he wasn't actually asleep. you'd know why he wasn't asleep.
there'd be a pain in your chest. You would know what it is, why its there. You would gulp and try not to think about it.
âDo you always stare at me in my sleep?â his groggy voice pulls you out of your own head.
You blink, multiple times. Forever, right.
He softly smiles up at you. You blink away before moving to lay on your back, the sheets rustling with your movement. âsorry I woke you upâ, you mumble an apology, staring at the ceiling, you fail to hide the shake in your voice.
âYâkay?âÂ
âYeah.â the sheets beside you ruffle but you keep your eyes trained on the ceiling. it seems inevitable. You know, one day it'll happen and despite having expected it, itâll be the greatest heartbreak of them all.Â
âThinking âbout somethinâ?â he sounds a bit more awake.
âWhen am I not?â you shake your head and laugh hoping he doesn't notice that it isn't real, thankful that the curtains didn't let in any moonlight and that you had turned off the lights.
âWhat is it?â but this is Steve, he doesnât need to see you to know how youâre feeling.
âNothing.â
âWere you lying about liking the pasta I made?â
âNo, Steve it was goodâ, a real laugh slips out of you, and you finally look at him. Heâs leaning on his elbow, the messy head of hair in his hand, looking down at you. You suddenly wish it wasnât so dark so you could see the colour of his eyes, the moles and freckles on his skin.
âThen what?â
âNothing.â your gaze moves back to the ceiling.
âMust be something if it's keeping you upâ, you feel him shift closer to you. He smells of fresh shower, mint, shaving cream and washed laundry.Â
âNo, I'm justâŠ. not sleepy.â
âYeah?â, he raises his eyebrows with a sly smirk, âWell, I know a way to make you sleepyâ, he leans downâ both arms caging you in, landing a kiss on your neck before trailing further up to your lips. and its lovely, so god damn lovely, you don't want it to stop but this hurts.
âSteâ mmphâ Steve stopâ, you turn your face away, because if he keeps going, you think you'll cry, palm pushing flat against his bare chest, âIâmâ I'm not in the mood.â
âOkay, I'm sorryâ, he moves back onto his one elbow. The silence gestates for a while, you can feel his eyes on you. The ticking of the clock is the only thing heard through the room before he softly says, âHey, please tell me what's happening?â
âNothingâ, you shook your head, âIâm just tired.â
âYou just said you're not sleepy.â
âJâ just go back to sleep okay? sorry for waking you upâ, you turn onto your side, face away from him.Â
He sidles up behind you after a second or two, warm breath across the back of your neck, you squeeze your eyes shut. âyeah, like that's gonna put me to sleep", he mutters behind you.
His arms snake around your waist, pulling you in closer, âC'mon, you know I wont be able to sleep after fightingâ, burying his nose in your hairâ he sighed.
âDid you just sniff my hair?â
âYeah, I do all the time. smells sâgood."
"You pervert", you both laugh lightly at that, your hand going for his around your waist, before your smiles fall and silence takes over once again.Â
You lick your drying lips, you forgot to put on lip balm again, âWeâre not fighting, Steve.â
âCouldâve fooled me.â
You take in a deep breath in, fingers drawing patterns on the back of his hand, you breath out, âmâsorry.â
His arms squeeze tighter around you, he lets out a quick sigh before placing a kiss on your shoulder, âIâll forgive you if you tell me whatâs going on with you.â
âSteveâŠâ, your voice trails off, you're not even sure what you were going to say.
âIs itâ Is it yourâŠ. Uh, that time of the month?â
That makes you want to roll your eyes at him and smack his chest but you restrain yourself, youâre not sure if you want him to see your eyes right now anyway. Instead, you sigh, âI had it last week, Steve.â
You got it in this very same bed. Awoken by cramps in the middle of the night. and Steve, your lovely Steve had given you a hot water bag while he took off the sheets and put on fresh new ones and then gave you a soft massage that put you to sleep.
âright... yeah, sorry," he says all sheepish, âSo what is it then? Did someone say somethinâ at work?â
âNo.â
âDid I.. " he hesitated a little, "did I say something?â
â...noâ, you curse yourself for pausing before saying it.
âI did, didn't I?â
âNo, no. youââ
âhoney, you should tell me if I ever say stupid shitâ you should call me out immediatelyââ
âYou didn't say anything stupid or whatever. I'm the one who's being stupid.â
his hold on you loosened, he shifted back to give you space to turn around, âWhat did I say? Hey, look at me,â you finally turn in his hold, facing him âwhat did I say?â
âWeâd have the cutest little kids, won't we?â
â..what?â You stood infront of the kitchen sink. your hands stopped their scrubbing at the pot you were washing. You tilted your head towards him who had his head rested on your shoulder, his arms around your waist.
âLittle Harringtonsâ, you could hear the smile on his lips.
âHarringtons?â
âOr maybe we get our names hyphenated. That works too, itâd be cuteâ, his hands hold your waist, his duty of drying the plates abandoned. âTheyâd have my fabulous hair, and your pretty, pretty eyesâ cutest kids around the blockâ
âOur kids?â you repeated dumbly.
âYeah, and six of âem. six little nuggets. Theyâll make up half of a football teamâ, he giggled, warm air hitting the side of your face, âDoesnât that sound lovely?â he smiled at you.
â...yeah. Yeah, it does.â you smiled back at him which only made him grin wider. His arms tighten around you again, and lips start a trail from behind your ears to down your neck.
You scoffed softly "Youâre supposed to help me wash dishes you filthy animal."Â
âOh, fine,â he gave you an over dramatic sigh, before his hands left your sides, skin feeling lonely as ever.
âNo, it's fine. Iâm almost done anyway", you went back to scrubbing at the bottom of the pot, "Just go and take a shower, you reek.â
âAlright, fine, Iâll go!â he groaned, playfully as a kid, before he leaned against the counter, looking at you with his âHarrington charmâ. His voice is silky when he asks, âWill you join me?â
âSteve." you said it almost as a warning.
âI donât hear a no.â
âOkay then, no.â
âTomorrow morningâŠ?â
âI have an early shift tomorrow, you horndog.â
âWe'll make it work.â
âNo.â
âOkay", he sighs, âcome up quickly though, I wanna be the big spoon todayâ, pecking your cheek before leaving for the shower upstairs.
Looking at him, you brush the now mostly dry hair falling on his forehead, tucking it behind his ear. Your fingers lingered there, you smile, ânothing, Steve.â your thumb rubs back and forth on the apple of his cheeks. âYou didnât say anything. it's stupid.â
His hand reaches up to hold your fingers in place, he turns his head a little to kiss your knuckles, âokay, I didn't say anythingâ he kisses your knuckles again, gaze stuck to your face, âbut could you tell me what it is you think youâre being stupid about?â
God, I love him, you think. âDon't worry about itâ, your voice barely a whisper as you attempt to give him a smile. You move closer, planting a slow kiss on his lips which are so much softer than yoursâ he never forgets his chapstick.
And god, you needed this, your brain stops when you kiss him. thoughts quelled and its quiet again. After some time though, your throat starts to burn and your chest is on the verge of a sob. So, when you pull away, you fail to hide the stuttered breath that you take in.
Steve knew there was something to worry about, but when he hears your breath that almost sounds like a sob, heâs immediately on high alert. Before he can brush your hair out of your face to look at you, really look at you, you bury your face in his chest.
It takes him a second to realize that youâre crying and it breaks his heart because youâre trying to hide it.
âBaby..â he feels you curl in further, your face warm against his skin. He moves to pull you in closer, palm holding the back of your head. He just wanted to take away whatever it was that was bothering you. He tried to pull away to get a look at your face to help you calm down but you wouldn't let him. He settles on carding his fingers through your hair, rubbing circles on the little sliver of exposed skin between your t-shirt and shorts, hoping it gives you some sort of comfort.
"Honey", it is then that you finally let in a shaky breath. he feels the skin where you hid your face get wet maybe with tears, sweat, snot, he didn't care-- he just wanted to take all your pain away.
You both stay that way, and you're suprised by how much you sob, how hard you heave. You weren't sure how long you stayed that way, maybe minutes, maybe hours, however long. It feels like forever.
At this moment, encased in Steve's arms, breath hot against his skin, despite the nose plugged with snot, lashes clumped with tears, eyes squinted shut, you think this is comfortable. Yet it hurts. Because you'll have to pull away. It hurts so damn much because you know how this can go, you know it can hurt so, so much more. You know it will hurt.
You want this to last forever, however fucking long one of those is.
So, you hold on longer because, youâre selfish with your love for Steve. You're selfish because despite the heartache, youâll have him, for as long as you can.
His hold on you gentle yet firm, as if afraid he'd break you. In your head, he already had. He tries to pull away again, to look at you but you can't. Your eyes still squinted close, willing it all to be a stupid dream. âHoney, I promise you whatever it is, you can tell meâ, he says, voice soft as feather. Of course it's not a dream.
Your tongue betrays you, âItsâŠsââ stupid. Silly. It really doesn't feel stupid or silly, but god, you're so scared that you can't say it, you didn't want to say it because if you do itâll come true, wont it?
âWhatever it is that you think is stupid," he assured you as if he could read your mind, "I still want to hear it because I know I won't think it's stupid."
suddenly it burns, and you need air. you sit up and try not to think about how ridiculously not pretty you probably look with snot running down your face, âWhat if- what if we- we end up hating each other?â you manage to say through hiccups.
âWhat?â he sits up as well, he says as if you had said the most ridiculous thing, âI'll never hate you, honey.â
For some reason, tears fill your eyes again at that, âSteve, you donât know that.â
âYeah, I do.â
âNo. Steâ people fall out of love, Steve- all the- all the time.â It terrifies him how convinced you sound of it.
âDo..... do you think youâll fall out of love with me?â
The question startles you, its evident in your wide eyes, âWhaâ what?â
âDo you think⊠youâll fall out of love with me?" he repeats, "You think youâll hate me?â
You shake your head, the tear that had been sitting on your lower lash finally slides down your already tear-stained cheek.
âGood." he wipes the wet trails left behind with his thumb, "then, why would I hate you?â
Your face twists into an expression that Steve wasn't sure what to describe it as. a deep frown on your lips, chin wobbly, brows scrunched up together, eyes red and tired yet nostrils flared. ââCause", you start but before you could continue another sob leaves you. you look down at your lap, trying to catch your breath. it takes you a minute before you begin again, "do you remember.... what you said about our kids?â
He nods, heart clenching at the way your voice breaks, âI don't think I can⊠do thatâ, he doesn't think he's ever heard you sound so broken. âIâ I don't think if Iâ if I want that.â
He sits silent and you think this is it. maybe forevers aren't that long after all.
More tears fall, more sobs leave you, you don't bother to wipe them. What's it matter anyway? He hates you already. He's probably thinking of a way to let you down easily because he is kind like that âHoney.. I want a family..â you feel your heart ripping in two and you just can't look at him.
âAnd I want you to be a part of that family. Iâ I want you to be the person I built a family with, no matter the size." He wipes at both your cheeks again, making you look at him, "even if its just us.â
The relieved smile he expected from you isn't there, instead, you frown, the crease between your brows deepens. the part that hurt the most was that you push his hands away, âyouâre saying that now, but what happens when years down the line, when weâre old, youâ you end up resenting me. Y- you love me right now, I know. But how do you know you wont end up hating me like, ten years later?â
âI dont want to watch you grow old and hate me and then leave me, Steve. Iâd rather end this now if weâre destined to just end up unhappy together.â
âWeâre not. Okay? Weâre not. I know I wont hate you, ever.â He reaches for your hands again. He kisses your fingers before continuing, âAnd I know that I want you, just you and whatever thatâ that that comes with. We could never have kids and I would never hate you for it.â
âYou won't be happy", you say meekly, like he'd be mad at you for speaking what was on your mind to him, âYou wont hate me but you wont be happy eitherâ, you muttered, chin ducked into your chest.
âHoneyâ, he hooks a finger under your chin, tilting your head to make you look at him, to make you understand. âyouâre what I need to be happy. You make me happy. And.. Iâd hope you need me to be happy tooâ, a wet chuckle escapes you at that. A hint of a smile on your face despite the tears.
âYou do, donât you?â he clarified with a soft smile of himself.
You nod, "yeah", letting out a loud sniffle.
âGood. I know its scary but youâve gotta put your trust in me. Trust me enough to believe in me when I say that you are what makes me happy. and I am happy."
He wipes away gently at your face, ridding it of the tear stains, âSometimes, youâve just gotta trust. I promise Iâll never break it.âÂ
You sob again but it's lighter than before, you wrap your arms around his neck and feel the weight you felt get lifted, you sniffle into the crook of his neck, "thank you."
You feel his lips on your hairline, "Let's go back to sleep, yeah?"
"Yeah. You still wanna be the big spoon?"
"yeah, I think you need to be the little spoon today." he pulls you down with him, your back to his chest, kissing the skin behind your ear he finally settles in beside you.
You call out his name, he hums in response. "how long do you think a forever is?"
"I don't know, honey."
"Can we stay like this forever?"
"Um.. if you mean us staying forever then yes, definitely forever. But, if you meant me being the big spoon forever, baby, I'm not sure if I'll be able to commit to that."
You laugh, "I love you." you confess.
"I love you too."

hey girlll could you do a gin and sprite one pleaseđ€đ€
josh allen x reader
watch your fucking mouth
-----------------------------------------
JA: Itâs Wyoming-OU Hate Week, baby!
You rolled your eyes as you read the text from Josh, already typing a response.
Y/N: Wyoming has to actually be good enough for it to be a real hate week.
JA: Watch your fucking mouth! >:(
Smiling, you walked into the training facility, greeting the other athletic trainers. Youâd been with the Bills for a couple of seasons now and had quickly become a player favorite, partly because you were the only trainer under 30.
You set up your table, ready for Keon Coleman to come by for his pre-practice wrap. He greeted you as you were finishing up and hopped onto the table.
"Josh was pouting this morning," he told you with a grin. "Guessing you did something?"
"Why would I be involved?" you asked innocently.
"Hmm, letâs see..." Keon pretended to think. "Maybe because heâs obsessed with you."
"He is not obsessed with me," you said, focusing on his ankle. "Itâs Wyoming-OU Hate Week, thatâs all."
"I didnât even know that was a thing," he said, confused.
"Itâs not," you deadpanned, making him laugh.
"Are you talking bad about me?" Joshâs voice came from behind you. He was frowning playfully.
"Never," you smirked. "Why are you here? Whatâs wrong?"
"Nothing. I just came to hear your apology," he said, and you rolled your eyes.
"Youâll miss practice if you wait for that," you shot back. Keon laughed as you tapped his leg, signaling that you were done. He hopped off the table and walked off.
"I think we should bet on this weekendâs game," Josh said, raising an eyebrow.
You crossed your arms, intrigued. "Okay, Iâm listening."
"If my Cowboys win, you have to come to a game with me during our bye week," Josh said confidently.
"And if my Sooners winâwhich they willâyou have to take me to Lombardo," you countered.
Lombardo was a fancy Italian restaurant in Buffalo youâd been dying to try. While you made good money as a trainer, it wasnât quite enough to justify splurging there.
"Deal," Josh said, holding out his hand. You shook it, sealing the bet.
-------------------------------------------------------------
You grinned widely as you slid into the passenger seat of Josh's car, dressed in a nice red dress with matching heels. OU had kicked the shit out of Wyoming.
"Iâve fasted all week for this," you joked, smirking at Josh, who pouted beside you. He was dressed up in a button-down shirt and slacks, clearly still a little sore about Wyomingâs loss.
The restaurant was even more stunning than youâd imagined. Your skin tingled as Josh gently placed his hand on your back, guiding you to the table.
As you browsed the menu, you stole a glance at Josh. Youâd always had a small crush on himâhis golden retriever energy had won you over from day one. Seeing him dressed up like this, looking every bit the gentleman, made your heart race. You felt yourself growing warm, thinking about how you had his full attention tonight.
"Should we get a bottle of wine to celebrate?" you teased. "Maybe the $300 one?"
Josh shot you a pointed look, and you laughed.
"Iâm just joking. Iâll behave," you promised.
When the waiter came to take your drink orders, he turned to Josh first. Without hesitation, Josh said, "Weâll split the ChĂąteau AngĂ©lus."
You froze, snapping your head up at him. The waiter left, and you were quick to protest. "Josh, thatâs way too expensive!"
"You wanted it, princess," he said with a teasing smirk, making you blush.
Your cheeks were still warm from his âprincessâ comment, and the two of you fell into easy conversation as the night went on. The food was incredible, and the wine tasted just as luxurious as its price tag suggested.
As you finished the last bites of dessert, Josh leaned back in his chair, watching you with a soft smile.
âYou know,â he started, a little more serious now. âIâve been thinking about something.â
You raised an eyebrow, curious. âOh? Whatâs that?â
He hesitated for a second, then met your eyes, his voice gentle but sure. âI think we should call this what it isâour first date.â
Your heart skipped a beat, and you blinked at him, stunned. âOur...first date?â
Josh nodded, his expression sincere. âI mean, we spend all our time together anyway, and... Iâve liked you for a while now. I just didnât know how to say it.â He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. âBut sitting here with you tonight, it feels right. Feels like itâs time.â
Your heart swelled at his words, warmth spreading through you. âIâve liked you too,â you admitted softly, your voice barely above a whisper. âI just didnât know if you felt the same.â
Joshâs grin widened, his eyes lighting up. âWell, now you know. So, what do you say? Think we could make this official?â
You couldnât help but smile back at him, your nerves melting away. âIâd like that.â
He reached across the table, taking your hand in his. âGood. Because I donât plan on losing any more bets to take you out again.â
You laughed, squeezing his hand. âGuess Iâll have to think of another one then.â
The two of you stayed like that for a moment, your hands intertwined, feeling like everything had just fallen into place.

LOVEE your tim ficsđ©·đ©· i keep coming back to read them again đ„č if its okay can i ask if youre planning anything else for him?
Aww Thank you! That really means a lot! And itâs more than okay to ask! Eeeekkk Iâm like obsessed with Tim so thereâs so much I have planned for him. I try to hold myself back cause I donât wanna be stingy and hog the tags >.<
Ahhh okay okay Iâm just really excited! Right, so imma separate this into two categories Sfw & nsfw(Under cut)
WC- 800Â
Sfw:Â
Tim drake General hcâs: Weâre sitting at 2.3k words for this so Iâm tryna cut this down.Â
A couple of cute date fics: Sort of like âGo for a driveâ and âWatching the sunsetâ Ex: Watching movies in the car (Drive up movie theater), Skateboarding, and slushies (Some graffiti)Â Gala shit, Maybe some sports stuff cause heâs low-key sporty (Multifacited this one, probably why I like him so much lol) Magic shenanigans while play their version of D&D (Kinda like that one Gravity falls episode, gotta bring in my witch boy Klarion)Â Mostly fluff
Another edition of âHigh Ramblings about Tim Drakeâ: I mean I typed it out and I figured I might as well post it- just general ideas on what DC can do with his character. Hypothetical story arcs, his position in Gotham, his age and alias, etc.Â
Father, there's something wrong with Timothy: Aftermath of Joker Junior, Mostly from Damianâs pov. This one is more of an Elseworlds au since I didnât want it to be the Batman Beyond version. Anon requested the batfamâs reaction to his relapse so itâs canon adjacent? (Not an x reader) Thriller/Horror.Â
Executive Tim: Anon req. Yandere Tim Drake. Heâs already got a killer migraine and Tamâs replacement already screwed up. Screwed up may be a bit harsh but with the week heâs had he wasnât feeling quite charitable. The mix-up with one of their outside distributors has Tim calling different vendors. Multiple calls later and he swears if he gets transferred to a different department one more goddamn time heâs going to- âHello youâve reached (Your name) how can I help you?â - Employee poaching lol, Unhealthy power dynamics, Gratuitous abuse of power.
Around the world: Series in no particular order. I hc that heâs learned to make the most of his time with his partner. (Past relationships failing due to not spending any time together) So even if you're not a vigilante he takes you with him on missions if you're also free and down. Needs to do a stakeout? Going undercover? Trailing a suspect? Or just general boots to the ground investigating? Heâs asking if youâd like to tag along. However, anything that involves him in the mask or anything that involves physical combat is off the table. You walk into his apartment and see Tim's bitchy face and he just asks you âYou wanna go to Switzerland?â
Old friend: Some call it being at the wrong place at the wrong time others prefer to call it fate. Honestly, he never pondered fatalism. But the joker was dead and there were no leads. Whoever had done it didn't leave anything behind nor did they announce it. It had to be fate. After all, this was the kind of death the psychotic clown would have despised. Itâs been two weeks and the blame game had already been played. Solid alibis. He was told not to investigate. So he was in some dingy laundromat with Ives; catching up with old friends to curb his need to investigate. But he recognized the employee refilling the quarters â(Name?)â - Mystery, suggestive themes, smoking, gang affiliations, Hypocrite Tim Drake
Not your typical office romance: Multi-chapter, your company sends you as part of a team to initiate building reforms in Gotham. As a result, your introduced to your new colleague for this project Tim Drake from Wayneâs R&D department. You're eager to get to work, but your flakey coworker is halting progress. Your polite facade comes crumbling down due to massive misunderstandings. Lots of antagonism, Bitchy Reader
Nsfw:
Escalation 2: This one is mostly done just need to edit. You found a way to play off not seeing the snap but my boy is shameless. And you may have started something you'll lose at.... There is now a part three in the works..... Fml but fucking screaming at how much it well escalates đ
Deal with the devil: Dark! Tim drake (Borderline Yandere) Hmm. This one is fucked; He should have left you to your fate. You knew better than to go investigate that cave alone but thatâs just who you were, reckless, fickle, unburdened, hardheaded. He didnât know whether he hated you or if he was just deeply envious. But even so, he couldnât just leave you alone, not when you actually used the emergency beacon he gave you. Not when you actually kept it. He should have expected that it was Raâs Al Ghulâs doing, he should have ignored his words, he should have but a snake seduced Eve in the Garden of Eden, and wasnât Raâs a devil?Â
Five minutes: Oral fixation reader, Timâs playing Apex (Octane or Horizon main) with some old friends but you really need him in your mouth. Subspace. Why Apex? Because everything I know about it has been involuntary.Â
Vacation: Sort of a spin-off of Across the World. This series involves trips around the states and the world. Heâs a vigilante but heâs also a very public figure that still needs to attend certain social events. Ex: Ski trips(This one* mhm), Weekend Conferences, or just a vacation. (Cases might align with an event)
Indecent: You come up to his office while heâs busy. But you came up looking too distracting how on earth is he supposed to concentrate? Spoiler he doesnât. (SneakPeek)
Boudoir pics: Cute flirty pictures of each other that's what this was supposed to be.

safe - express crew
summary; what would happen if you got injured during an expedition?
genre/extra tags; scenario, hurt/comfort but not well executed, reader has path of destruction, reader's combat type isn't mentioned, caelus is trailblazer with path of preservation (bc that's the one i use), yes im using the same banner at the top for caelus
[platonic] [teen reader] [gender neutral reader]
warnings; leg injuries described, getting scolded, feeling helpless
[buy me a kofi]
a/n; wrote this as scenarios... hope you enjoy it! only did the trio and welt bc 4 characters is my limit per scenario post. march's part is shorter than the rest im sorry
caelus is not well versed in situations like these.
he knew of your reckless nature. how you just loved thrills, how you want to destroy every enemy in your way, how you enabled his weird tendencies and fighting instincts just to watch a good show.
but this was too much.
in the heat of battle as you charge in, you take a big hit (even if with the help of caelus's shield) and the enemy smashes their weapon against your leg. you collapse to the ground, the pain rushing through all your nerves as you yell out.
caelus does his best to keep the enemy busy with his taunts and trying to build his shields. when he finally manages to finish the enemy off, he's running to you and picking you up as carefully but urgently as he can. he's talking to you to distract you from the pain and hoping that the adrenaline you're feeling with do until he gets to you to proper help.
when he finally gets you to medical help, he's conflicted. his usual expressive witty self is quiet with frustration. within the small time of you joining the express a little after he did, he's gotten attached to you, seeing you as a younger sibling. he can't help but think it's his fault for not being on guard to keep you safe. he can't find it in his heart to scold you despite how he's aware that if you just thought before you did anything, you would've at least been less injured.
it takes a day for you to get properly patched up and resting. and it's awkward when caelus walks in, no longer wearing his usually amused smile, but wearing a stone faced look. you avoid looking at him, it's not subtle at all with how you don't want to talk about the accident at all.
but he speaks about it anyways, "i really hate being angry, you know?"
"i know."
"i think it's safe to say that we're both in the wrong for this?" he suggests, sitting on the edge of your bed. "i could've stopped you and you could've waited for me." you're both silent as you recall the pain of it all.
"yeah. i'm sorry." he moves to sit by your side, patting your head.
"i'm sorry too, just get some rest alright?" he mutters, tugging the blanket to cover you better. "i'm just glad you're okay."
he hated when you got reckless, he was not as nice about it as the new trailblazer. well, he wasn't openly rude about it but he gets the most abrasive when you decide to be reckless. he would never say it openly but he cares for you. he cares for you a lot. you're younger than the other express members so of course it was natural that he felt the need to care for you. totally not because he's basically the established parent friend out of the four of the youngsters of the express, you included.
so the moment you get such an injury, he's killing the rest the enemies and taking you to welt and himeko. he's muttering about how frustrated he is with this turn of events. he's annoyed because he doesn't have the path that march and caelus have, so he can't protect you as easily.
you can't understand a word of what he's saying since your mind is fuddled with pain and slowly running down from its adrenaline. you pass out before you hear his pleas to stay awake.
when you're finally okay and stable, it's dead silent in your room. you and dan heng sit nearby each other, you on your bed and him in a desk chair. you're concerned by his silence but you don't want to say anything, knowing that he would start scolding you. unlike caelus, he's not afraid to be honest and sound rude while he's at it. he doesn't like sounding like the bad guy, but someone has to put the foot down when welt and himeko weren't around.
as you lay there on your bed, you feel small, like you were just a weak kid who couldn't do anything. you struggle to look at dan heng, the room is thick with tension and worry. you hate how stupid you feel. it's hard to describe it, when you want to cry but it's not out of sadness or anger. you feel bad. and it makes you want to cry. and you do. you don't say anything, he doesn't say anything.
he looks at you while you're a silent mess. his hand presses on your forehead and moves down to rub away your tears gently. "please don't do that again. not when i can't do as much to keep you safe." he mutters, moving his chair to sit closer to the bed.
you spill out your apologies and worries as you hug him weakly. "i'm- i'm sorry dan heng!" he pats your head, providing his silent comfort.
"it's okay. i'll always forgive you." he sounds tired as he jokes deadpanned, "maybe this is a sign from the aeons to stop being stupid."
"hey!"
despite march's cheerful aura and bright words, she was skilled in battle. and very good support. even when she was smiling in support during a battle, she was ever so alert for everyone's safety.
unfortunately she let her guard down for just a small moment and you ended up running in with no shield support, causing you to take a bigger hit than normal.
after that she had immediately shielded you, the cold of her ice felt nice against the heat of the pain.
"y/n! please be more careful next time!" she says immediately after she takes care of the last enemy. she's probably the only one to actually scold you in the battle even if it was close to ending. "just because i can shield you doesn't mean you're safe all the time." she insists on carrying you via piggyback as she scolds you all the way through the trip back.
"you know you're gonna have the rest of the express worried sick when you do things like that!" if this was anyone else, you would much worse but march has such a sweet tone to her voice that you can't help but feel fine. on the way back, she cares for the injury the best she can with her ice. and it helps when you finally get the proper help.
you recovered quicker than usual with her assistance.
"now what do you have to say to me?"
"you make me want to not say it now."
"i just saved your life and this is the thanks i get?!"
"bleh."
"i'm never gonna give you a shield again."
welt..
welt dislikes taking you on expeditions. he's been clear about that from the start. but he's not gonna restrain you from experiences, good and bad. but he'd much rather you have good experiences. and not ones like these.
the ones where he has to pick you up from the ground and worry that you're gravely injured. just like the rest of the crew, he hates seeing you hurt. maybe it even hurts even more being a sort of father figure to you and feeling the obligation to care for you.
instead of the cold silence from dan heng or the worried silence from caelus, you feel the disappointed silence from welt. and that hurts more than your injury.
it's suffocating when you're being carried the way back and you know you're about to get a mouthful of scolding. it's not even gonna be an angry scolding, which is even worse.
when he takes you down the hall of passenger rooms of the express, you struggle to find the words that would at least lessen the looming feeling of disappointment. "i- um.. uh.." you stammer. he continues to walk and find your room, but you feel his hold tighten. you know he's listening.
"i don't.." when you both enter your room, he places you right on your bed and sits in a nearby chair. he looks at you, which almost makes you break in a cold sweat. "i'm really..." he doesn't rush you to speak, he doesn't cut you off or anything. he waits patiently by your side.
"i'm sorry." you look down at your lap, "i was really excited when you finally let me go on one of these trips with you. and i ruined it. sorry."
his lips pressed in a line before he speaks, "please be more careful next time. i can't guarantee you'll go on your own though, not until you learn to control yourself."
next time? "does this mean i can still go next time?"
"not anytime soon." he sighs, "did you not catch any other word?"
"that's not a no."
"i'm not saying a yes."

Stars-Aligning
'boys suck, and girls I've never tried' - chappell roan
word ct. - 1113
warnings - a small panic attack(?), mostly fluff, fem!reader is implied but anyone can read :)
You've never been one to have crushes. Sleepover gossip times would always make you pick at your skin for 5 minutes trying to remember all the boys in your grade so you can blurt a name out when asked who you like. But when you got into college something changed. Something that goes by the name of Kiyoko Shimizu. You first heard about her when in a group project with Yachi, she had suggested that Kiyoko tag along to the cafe meet up that you guys had planned - a simple 3rd person to keep conversation flowing so thereâs no random awkward silence.Â
Wrong; you were incredibly wrong. In the entire 2 hours you guys were there, you got 2 things done: writing your name and finding out Kiyoko was the prettiest girl youâve ever seen and that the way her lips move when she talks is mesmerizing; maybe thatâs why everything she said you completely agreed with - is this what your friends talk about at sleepovers? Is this what movie scenes are made from? Is this normal?Â
Obviously you know what being gay meant, youâve seen gay couples in movies and even around campus, so why was this the worst whiplash youâve ever experienced? And why are you getting so nervous and sweating when she asks for your number? Why do you only let out a shaky - mousy - âyeahâÂ
The only information you absorbed is that the prettiest girl you've ever seen is in your contacts and that she likes peaches and ice cream. Thereâs only one reasonable response to this information - type out 4 draft messages asking her to the local ice cream parlor. Who would know better how to ask her out on a completely platonic and friendly ice cream date? Yachi.Â
Youâve never felt more awkward in your entire life; you could smell the tension before the conversion even started. âWell⊠I say just ask in the friendliest way possible⊠this one right there,â she points to the 2nd message, âseems like you're rambling a lot, and the one below that sounds like you're demanding she go.â Yachi explains - a little concerned by how concentrated you are after explaining how this is a âtotally friendly and chill meet up because she seems coolâ for about 10 minutes. âOkayâŠso like⊠the last one? Or are the emojis too much?â âThe last one is perfect, she actually texts with a lot of emojis too.â âOkay perfectâŠâ both of you sit in silence for 20 seconds before you blurt âcan you please send the message for me.âÂ
It was set, you're very casual friend hangout, was the next day at 2pm. Although the state of your room said that you were evacuating by 2pm tomorrow; clothes thrown from your closet had basically made it out of your room, forgotten t-shirts now seeing the light of day, even pants that youâve been meaning to return to a friend had found its way onto the outfit roster. But after what felt like the zombie apocalypse, you put together an outfit that had one inspiration - Kiyoko Shimizu.Â
It was just to seem cool right? To hope that she'll want to be good friends right? And maybe kiss? Do good friends do that?Â
This was a bad idea. This was a bad idea. This was the worst idea youâve ever had. Gripping the steering wheel so hard you make a mental reminder to call a mechanic and breathing so hard you reach for a non-existent inhaler. Youâve never had a worse timed star- aligning ever. You can see her in the window, occasionally glancing out the window waiting for any sign of you, but youâre too busy having second doubts because your gay awakening is waiting for a obviously, for sure, âno wonder Yachi was awkwardâ date. You try to quickly regain yourself after seeing Kiyoko start to look down at her watch every 6 seconds. Checking your face in the mirror and fixing your hair in the shopâs window reflection, you finally open the doors and come face-to-face with the most attractive cause for your midlife crisis. You're not even 25.
âHey, sorry Iâm a little late, I was picking up my room a little and lost track of time,â well that's not a complete lie, you had folded about 4 shirts and then rethought your entire outfit and started from scratch. And then she did the smile, the little lift up that makes her beauty mark move 3 cm from its resting place, âItâs really no problem, just glad I wasnât stood up.â Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god. Being stood up means a date. This is for sure a date. You're glad you didnât over analyze but also panicking because you just processed what a lesbian is in the car youâve had since 17.
âYeah, sorry again, I didnât mean to leave someone like you waiting,â are you actually stupid. âSomeone like you?â Youâve been homosexual for 5 minutes and already messed up. âHope thatâs a good thing,â she says sarcastically before walking up to order. âIâll get the peach please, and what would you want?â She looks at you. She focuses on you. âIâll just get the same thingâ a smile. She smiles at you. âSounds good, do you want to find a table while I pay?â âOh you donât have to pay f-â âNo no, itâs okay.â You're starting to understand why your friends freak out when a guy offers to pay.Â
âOkay- so- wait. He asked you to marry him after only seeing you?â you ask holding back a laugh, âYes! I still give him a hard time for it too,â Kiyo - she insisted you call her that - was laughing telling you about her time in high school, while checking her watch, âOh! Itâs already late! Sorry for non-stop talking, I feel like thatâs all I did.â You quickly try to recover as you both stand up and throw your trash away, âoh no itâs okay, I loved hearing about you.â After making it through the front doors, she turns to you and smiles before leaning in and giving a small kiss, âWell maybe you can tell me about you next time.â âYeah! Of course,â you reply too quickly for you not to cringe when thinking about it later. She does the smile again, the same smile, âMake sure you text me when you get home⊠Iâll see you soon.â âYeah of course, have a goodnightâŠâ You watch as she walks away to her car before slowly sitting getting into your own. You're surprised the shop owners didnât come running out after the excited scream you let out.
I hope you guys like it!!! the divider(s) is from @cafekitsune

it'sssssssss tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
Barbie Doll and Diablo
(as my friend likes to call them lol)
it took me a good few days of day dreming about barbs and scrolling through the barbatos tags (and the simeon and solomon tags) to acctually get the motivation for this soooooo here it issss
Part 1 - The Brothers Part 2 - The Angels + Solomon Part 3 - Diavolo + Barbatos
WEE WOO WEE WOO Content Warningggggsss: Darbatos and Diavolo are implied to be dating mc but it CAN be taken as platonic, GN!mc, maybe like a teensy tiny bit suggestive idk i do these before i write the hcs, could be ooc (i've never written for either of them, i dont think so atleast), mention of mamms and asmo but only tiny after thought type stuff i think
the energy is pumpinggggggg and the headcannon drabble things are a flowin'
Barbatos
w/ out mc - does not sleep, will only sleep if diavolo orders him to and if any of you have seen my take on the brothers sleeping he is the same as luci, but instead of the brothers having to be kept in line its the demon prince who does his best to sneak out when he thinks the butlers guard has been lowered enough to do so, other than that i do belive barbatos if tired enough will fall asleep standing continuing to do what ever job he was doing around the castle occsionally finishing all of his tasks whilst alseep (dia and the little d's take bets to see how far through his list barbatos can go before waking up again so far little d no. 2 and diavolo have the most wins) i also think barbatos will sleep walk into diavolos office on ocassion and just stand there like he would if diavolo was having a meeting with lucifer or mephi (i dont know how to spell his name someone help please) also no fan or ac or anything in his room im fairly sure his tail has / would have some form of protective slime kind stuff on it and that drying out would require a few weeks worth (and a couple thousands invested) of lotion applied every few like hours (it'd be like lipbalm or gloss on crusty dry craked up lips)
w/ mc - now with mc and diavolo trying to get him to sleep more often its a much bigger challenge for barbatos to deny going to sleep therefore he goes to sleep more often, with mc around the little d's and diavolo can't make as many bets on barbs work sleep habits so the bets have changed to how long will it take for mc to notice that barbs fell asleep again / how many chores can barbs get through before mc guides him back to his room and takes over barbs creepy standing in dia's office has stopped and been replced with a slight restlessness in his sleep (beware mc for he may kick), and mc better beware of the tail it's 100% getting wrapped around them as they sleep it will be cold it will be slimy it will be slightly gross and it will soak any and all sleep clothes (can't tell me barbs doesn't find enjoyment in feeling how mc jumps as they wake up suddenly due to how cold and wet his tail is 'whats wrong little lamb? did i accidently wake you during your slumber') still no fan or anything by the way not unless you want to be the one applying lotion to his tail every hour (bonus sleepy cuddly barbs like early sunday morning look like shiz and gotta get up but partner is still sleep and gooooodddd they look cute sleeping and don't wanna disturb the peace and then the overgrown toddler with daddy issues barges in asking for breakfast because he was a second late to waking him up saying theres pancakes if he does all his paperwork in which barbs does not remember saying at all (it was all a dream that dia thought was real) and waking mc up, gosh dang it now i gots ideas for another fic from these things)
Diavolo
w/ out mc - another sea creature guess what it isssss, thats right! its a starfishhhhhh, mans has a massive bed cant tell me he doesn't starfish accross it wings out and everything, thinking of wings.... wings can be blankie, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand like beel he. is. a. heater. no need for blankets when have wings and are heater, he snores and sleep talks majority of his sleep talking is telling dream barbs that dream him wasn't trying to escape his duties or saying those really creepy things that alot of people who sleep talk say in their sleep something like idk 'doont go in the closet' and it'd be like right as mammons trying to find secret treasure in the castle and somehow ended up in dias room and is about to open the closet
w/ mc - still sprawled out but don't worry mc he left space for you (in his arms) still a heater be prepared to wear your summer sleep clothes in the middle of winter (or sleep au natural like asmo probably does) he still snores and sleep talks pretty much the same as before also refuses to get up in the morning (mans went to bed late let him sleep in and get his sleepy morning cuddles before barbs comes in and says theres pancakes if he does all his paperwork before 9am the drem stirkes again 'but barbatos i got all my paperwork done before nine and pancakes sound good and the dream felt way too real for it to be just a dream, come on love you had to of heard barbatos say something about breakfast being pancakes today surely' dont break his heart help him gaslight barabtos instead/hj)
That ws fuunnnnnnnnnnn
btw quick little tiny baby question would people perhaps be interested in perhaps me writing a little bit more for barbs and/or simeon maybeeeeeee (the inspiration hit and oh mah lordy loorrrrrd it is difficlt to not want to write more about themm) (btw dont really care how many of you answer yes or no im probably gonna do it anyways)
alsoooo i will gladly accept requests for more headcannon drabbley things for other stiuations if anyone has any ideas, (i don't really do full on fics btw)
other than that i hope you all have a great day, afternoon, night, morning, tea, door, pencil and thank you for reading (i hope it was as fun to read as it was to write) MasterList thingy-o
#obey me swd#obey me#obey me one master to rule them all#obey me headcanons#obey me mc#obey me barbatos#obey me diavolo#obey me x mc

<poem used - âmy fire, my flameâ by ariana alonso>
thank you guys for all the love on my other uploads <33
series masterlist!!
01-exhortations, 02-avoidance, 03-revelations, 04-confession
It started with a rose.
A single white rose left haphazardly on your doorstep.
You didnât really think much of it, your neighbours had a white rose bush they regularly pruned, and you figured the wind must have blown one of the loose roses cut from it over to your porch.
Youâd often find scattered petals and wilting rose heads on your lawn, blown over by the wind to no fault of the old couple living next door. Although you did have to admit that a full rose was something that had never blown over before.
But hey, sometimes these things happen right?
That was the same rhetorical question you asked yourself two weeks later when a blank envelope was posted through your letter box alongside your regular mail. It looked like a birthday card, the envelope a pale yellow and closed shut with a small white sticker in the shape of a rose. Curious.
You debated on whether to open it at first, not wanting to accidentally intrude on somebody elseâs private business, but after a few days of deliberating you came to the conclusion that reading whatâs inside might help you find the intended recipient.
You didnât find anything of note in the envelope, just a folded piece of white paper with a typed out romantic poem imprinted on its inner side. It was odd for sure, but it wasnât anything to worry about.
You ended up throwing the envelope away. As much as you wouldâve liked to have delivered it to its rightful recipient there just wasnât enough information for you to do so. You just guessed that it was a teenager trying to romance one of their classmates and had posted their efforts through the wrong door.
It was harder to brush off the new succulent lining your kitchen windowsill.
Youâd come home to your house after four days spend in Iowa on a case, absolutely exhausted. So much so it took you three separate trips in and out of your kitchen to realise that the three succulents usually lining your window had now been increased to four.
At first you just thought it was your exhaustion getting to you, but you knew for a fact that youâd only bought three. Garcia had made you pick them out specifically. And this new fourth one didnât fit in.
You examined the new succulent closely, trying to figure out where it came from. It was a vibrant green colour, with small, round leaves that formed a rosette shape. Unlike your other succulents, this one had delicate white flowers blooming from its centre. It was a beautiful addition to your collection, but you couldn't help but wonder who had put it there and why.
You carefully examined the plant for any clues. There were no tags or labels indicating its origin, and it seemed to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your succulents, as if it had always been there. The thought of someone entering your home while you were away sent a shiver down your spine, but there were no signs of forced entry or any other evidence to suggest foul play.
You unfortunately didnât have much time to mull over this new addition to your plant collection as the team were whisked away on another case, less than 24 hours after your last case finished.
Still, you couldnât seem to get the small white flowers of the plant sat upon your windowsill out of your mind, and you were starting to question your sanity a little. Were you sure that you hadnât bought four? Maybe you had. Maybe itâd been there the whole time.
âIf it isnât my favourite profiler, donât tell Derek that,â Garcia almost immediately backtracked as she picked up the phone. âWhat can I do you for my sweet?â
âHey Penny, just a random question, you remember when we went plant shopping a while back?â You held the phone up to your ear with your left hand, using your right to continue jotting down notes on the portable whiteboard the Montanna Police Department had provided your team with for the case you were working on.
âOh of course I do my love. Why, Looking for a professional suggestion for your next addition?â You could practically hear Garciaâs smile through the phone as she spoke.
âNo Pen, I just wanted to check something,â You let out a small chuckle at her exaggerated confidence in her knowledge of plants. âDid I end up buying three succulents or four?â
âThree my love, two Chinese Jades and one Opalina I believe. Whyâs that?â
âOh no nothing, I was just checking which ones Iâd bought with you and which ones Iâd bought myself, thanks Pen,â You didnât know why you felt the impulse to lie. Maybe it was your subconscious telling you that it was in fact you who had put the plant there. That youâd just been so busy that youâd forgotten about it. Either way you didnât want to stir up the pot if you couldnât prove anything was actually wrong.
But you also couldnât rid of that feeling in the pit of your stomach that rose when Garcia confirmed you hadnât bought the plant when out with her.
âAlrighty, anything else you need from her majesty of all knowledge?â
You give another small laugh at Garciaâs manner of speech. âNo Pen, thank you.â
âWell then my dear, this ladyâs got other fish you fry, Iâll catch you later,â
You hear the end dial through your phone before you can respond, a usual end to a phone call with Garcia, and whilst her little quips and jokes left you with a small smile on your face, it didnât quite reach your eyes.
A pale yellow envelope.
You feel a sense of deja vu when you pick it up from the floor on the inside of your front door, seemingly slotted through your letterbox just like the former had been, white rose sticker holding it closed and all.
The difference this time however, was that when you turned the envelope in your hand it had your name inked on the front, scrawled out in a messy cursive that stained parts of coloured paper black, the ink having bled as the name was written from the sheer amount of pressure used.
Thatâs the moment that you started to panic.
You could put the signs together by now. A perfectly de-thorned rose on your doorstep. Messages posted through your door. A new succulent left in your kitchen after youâd expressed interest in them. It wasnât just a series of coincidences, they were signs. Signs of something you didnât particularly want to think about.
The last one was the worst. It meant that whoever had taken it upon themselves to form a fascination with you had somehow managed to get inside of your house whilst you werenât there.
You triple checked the locks on your doors that night, leaving the new envelope unopened on your kitchen counter.
You ended up taking it to work the next day, tucked away in your messenger bag and left under your desk as you tried to distract yourself through with your files.
You tried to convince yourself that you were just overthinking. Maybe the indented recipient of the letter just happened to have the same name as you. Maybe this was just the last two weeks of continuous stress was just taking itâs toll on you and making you paranoid. You tried to convince yourself. But you knew.
âExcuse me,â
Your internal monologue was cut off by a soft voice, and your mind was momentarily wiped of your dilemma as you looked up towards the source of the noise, the small receptionist from the front of your floor.
âThis was dropped off last night, I believe it was for you.â
In her hand was a small rectangular package, wrapped in brown paper, and she held it out to you with a small smile.
âOh, thank you,â You return her smile with one of your own, taking the package from her hand and watching her retreat back to her desk. You werenât expecting anything delivered, were you?
Unwrapping the package only left you more confused. It was a leather bound copy of Romeo and Juliet, the cover a deep red and embossed with with gold roses and an intricate border, the bookâs name embossed in a similar fashion in the coverâs centre, although flaking in some areas from the wear of the book.
Your eyebrows furrowed as you turned the book over in your hands, but as you opened the front cover that expression fell straight back into concern. A small rose, etched into the inside over in a black ink pen, fit with a single letter, âR.â
âHey Spencer, uh- can I- borrow you for a sec?â You stand from your desk, walking around the cluster in the bullpen to stand behind Spencerâs, head buried in the files he was working on.
âOf course, whatâs up?â Spencer took a second to look up, folding the folder closed and leaving his pen inside to mark the page. âAre you alright?â
âYeah uh- I uh- Were you expecting a book delivery?â
You held the book out towards him, eyes silently pleading for him to say yes. A part of your brain still denied the inevitable, that it wasnât some outside person who had been leaving things around for you to find. That there wasnât someone who knew where you lived, and now where you worked, sending you eerily creepy âgiftsâ.
Spencer inspected the book in his hands, examining it closely with narrowed eyes.
âNot that I know of...â He looked up at you, eyebrow slightly raised as he handed the book back to you. âI already have this copy at home,â
Your stomach dropped a little when he confirmed it wasnât his.
âRight, sorry,â You take the book back from him with a pursed smile, holding it in both of your hands and tapping your nails against the back cover.
You logically knew it wasnât for him, Spencer was all for buying things second hand, but he would never pick up a book with this much wear and tear unless was a first edition owned by some prolific scholar, the spine damaged and the pages folded and scrawled with annotations that you werenât sure you wanted to read, but hearing the confirmation just made it sink in a little further.
âAre you alright? You seem a little tense.â Spencerâs voice cut you out of another internal spiral, and you gave him a quick nod.
âHm? Oh yeah iâm alright, thanks anyway Spence,â You give him a small smile and a half wave as you retreat back to your own desk with the book in hand.
Spencer stared at you for a moment longer, watching as you sat back down at your desk, discarding the book behind your stack of files as if you couldnât bare to look at it any longer.
Something seemed very off with you.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
My fire, my flame,
My one and the same.
Swiftly swinging from life to end,
Through the times, we meet again.
My lover, my friend,
My mirror, my mend.
My fire, my flame,
No darkness can tame.
Ochre to blue, two as one.
Never unbroken, never undone.
Healing the hurt, flame dims down.
Fire prevails, doubt it drowns.
Forever and true, I am your blue,
The one you felt, the one you knew.
Drunken to sober, you are my ochre,
The one who inspires all my desires.
Over and over, we dance again,
Swiftly swinging from life to end.
It was nearly midnight, and yet you felt wide awake.
A part of you wanted to sleep, lay in bed and pretend that nothing was happening, but you knew that your mind wasnât going to let you.
Youâd sucked up the resolve to open the envelope youâd stored away in your bag, another poem left inside. Except this time instead of being typed out and printed, it was written in the same ink that had adorned its sleeve.
Some of it was barely legible, but you found the words ingrained in your mind almost as soon as you read them. They were sweet from a surface level, a message of true and eternal love, but under your circumstances the only emotions that it evoked from you was a mix of dread and fear.
Your mind soon flickered over to the book youâd left on your nightstand, and you soon found yourself curled up under your duvet with the book in hand, lamp left on both to aid your reading and provide you with a small sense of security in the warm light it cast over the walls of your bedroom.
The narrative of the story was what youâd expect, the traditional tale of Romeo and Juliet, but that wasnât what you were interested in, it was the annotations, written in the same handwriting as the poem left discarded on your coffee table.
It seemed like a lot of references to love, mainly to the female protagonist in Romeo and Juliet, and you noticed that your initials and âR.â were written a lot.
It seemed that whoever had taken a liking to you really liked you... a little too much.
There were references to your personality, how much you loved things like animals, reading books and eating dark chocolate. They had even written that your favourite colour was burgundy.
You were starting to find this rather unnerving.
The part that really sent you over the edge into a panic was one line in particular, underlined so many times that there was a small rip in the page.
These violent delights have violent ends.
The book in your hand was soon replaced with your phone, held up to your ear as took in slow breaths through your nose.
âHey, whatâs wrong?â You heard Spencerâs voice ring through your phone.
âHey uh, Iâm so sorry to call you so late but uh- Can I ask you for a favour?â The tone of your voice wavered slightly as you spoke, not at all aided by the small tremble of your hand.
âYeah of course, anything for you, what is it?â
âCan I uh,â You hesitate for a second. âCan I come over?â
âYeah, of course,â Spencer responded quickly. âAre you alright?â
âYeah I just, donât want to be on my own right now,â It wasnât exactly a revelation. There had been a few instances where tough cases left the team feeling more comfortable spending the time after in the company of someone else.
Most of them had family or lovers as their comfort, but in the case of Spencer, not having any contact with his father and his mother institutionalised, and your parents living across the country, you often found comfort in each other instead.
âThank you,â
It seemed like you wouldnât get any sleep tonight.
âItâs no problem at all, Iâll see you soon?â Spencerâs voice was soft and understanding, and you found yourself increasingly grateful for his insomniatic nature.
âYeah, see you soonâŠâ
You let out a small breath of relief as you hang up the phone, piling some things into a backpack, tattered book included, before locking up the house and driving to Spencerâs apartment
The drive there seemed to be one of the longest drives of your life, constantly deliberating with yourself on whether to confide in Spencer about your theory. Part of you wanted to tell him, you knew with an outside objective view alongside his intelligence that heâd be able to find you a solution, but you also didnât want to burden him.
When you reach his apartment, you knock on the door twice. âSpence?â
The door unlocked almost before youâre finished knocking, and Spencer stands on the other side, dressed in tardis pyjama pants and a black t-shirt, his brown hair a little flattened, presumably from tossing around in bed trying to get comfortable.
âHey,â He stepped aside to let you in, adjusting the crooked glasses sat over his nose.
âIâm so sorry for bothering you so late, thank you for letting me come over-â You blurt out a hasty apology for your intrusion as you take your shoes off at the door and slump down on Spencerâs couch, dropping your bag on the floor next to you.
Spencer followed you with his eyes as he closed and locked the door behind you. âItâs totally fine, it doesnât matter if itâs 2pm or 2am, youâre always welcome, you know that,â
Spencer smiles at you before asking, âSo, whatâs going on?â
âI think Iâm being stalked-"
The words almost melded together with how fast you spoke them, and itâs only after the whole sentence leaves your mouth you realise that youâd blurted out the thing youâd been mentally fighting over telling him or not.
Well, so much for dealing with it on your own.
Spencerâs smile immediately disappears, being replaced with a look of concern. âStalked? What do you mean? Whatâs been happening?â
You sigh softly at Spencerâs expression. There was no backtracking from this now. So you start right from the beginning.
âWell, a few weeks ago I found this perfectly pruned rose on my doorstep,"
Spencer listens to your explanation with a small nod. âRightâŠâ
âBut I wasnât like concerned or anything because my neighbours have a rose bush, and I figured it was just the wind or something. You know, sometimes that kind of stuff happens right? But then over the last few weeks things keep turning up and I know that itâs not normal you know?â
Spencerâs look of concern only grows as you begin explaining, and he took a seat next to you on the couch. âWhat kind of things have been showing up? Apart from the rose?â
âLike two-ish weeks after the rose thing, there was an envelope posted through my door alongside the rest of my mail, and I ended up opening it because it didnât have a name on the front and I wanted to to figure out who it was for right?â
Spencer gives you a small nod as a gesture for you to continue.
âI thought it was a birthday card at first, but Iâm pretty sure it was a poem, it was just typed out and stuck in the envelope, no names or addresses or anything. So I just threw it out and moved on. I figured it was some teenager whoâd posted a love note through the wrong door.â
You use your hands to gesture your explanation, your right leg bouncing absentmindedly as the nervous tension builds up in your body.
âAnd then after the case we had in Iowa I came home and instead of three plants on my kitchen windowsill there was four. And that was when I was like âokay somethingâs not right hereâ, and I even rang Penny to check and she confirmed that Iâd only bought three,â
Spencer raises a brow, his expression furrowing further if that was possible. âWait, it turned up in your house?â
You give him a small nod. âI checked all the doors and windows and everything but there was no evidence that anyone had broken in, and by this point Iâm like genuinely questioning my sanity over whether Iâd actually just bought this stupid plant myself and was freaking myself out over it, but then yesterday evening after I got home from the Airport I found another envelope by my front door, same colour, shape and everything, they even both had the same sticker keeping them closed, but this one had my name written on the front of it,â
By this point, your explanation had turned into more of a ramble, and by the time you had reached a comfortable place to stop, you were feeling short on breath.
âAnd you opened it?â
You respond to Spencerâs question with a nod, brushing a piece of hair from your eye. âI opened it an hour ago maybe?â
âAnd it was another poem?â
You give Spencer another small nod in affirmation at his prediction.
âOkay, what else? Did anything else happen?â Spencerâs hand reaches out towards the curve of your knee, effectively halting the nervous tic youâre using to release your tension.
âWell, I showed you this earlier-â
You bend forward to pull your backpack up onto your lap, rifling through it to pull out the worn copy of Romeo and Juliet to present him with it once more.
âit was left at the officeâs front desk which half makes me want to believe that itâs not related, but I was reading the annotations earlier and theyâre really specific and I freaked myself out which is why I called you in the first place-â
Spencerâs brows crease under the rims of his glasses as his eyes pour over the bookâs cover again. âWho left it for you?â
âI donât know Spencer thatâs my issue," You sigh softly as you turn the book over in my hands. âCan you just read through this for me please? I didnât finish it because I freaked myself out and then immediately came over here so-â
You over-explain your reasoning for wanting him to read through the book for you, figuring that if you could give him a valid reason then you would feel less guilty about asking him to do it in the first place.
Spencer takes the book from you hands whilst youâre still explaining yourself, beginning to flick through the pages one by one, pulling his middle and ring fingers down the page as he scans over the writing.
Itâs times like these youâre thankful that Spencerâs reading speed is 85 times faster than the average personâs, and you find your eyes following his fingers as he traces them over the pages, taking note of how he bends his middle finger ever so slightly so that his fingertips are level with each other and how he keeps his index finger raised away from the paperâs surface. It was oddly distracting to watch.
It takes him little more than five minutes to have read through the whole thing, with him stopping a few times along the way to make a couple of comments as he does.
âWell he makes reference to your favourite colour, and your birthday...â
â....your job...â
â...and of course your name.â
âJesus, the guyâs really obsessed with you isnât he.â
You furrow your face as Spencer confirms your concerns, rubbing your hands over your legs as a self-soothing technique.
Spencer thinks again for a moment as he shuts the book in his lap. âI think you should spend the night here.â
You can see his gears are turning, the same cogs turning when heâs deep in a profile. Heâs gone from being concerned to calculated. âNo way in hell am I leaving you alone tonight.â
âI donât wanna burden you this is a me problem-â You immediately shut down his suggestion despite you having stayed at his apartment on multiple occasions in the past.
Youâd gotten an objective opinion on the situation. That was all you wanted. You didnât need to drag him any further into your personal issues.
âHey no,â Spencer shakes his head as he places the book down on the small oak coffee table in front of you. âYouâre not burdening me, okay? You donât have to be alone tonight, you can sleep here.â
âIâm not letting you leave now,â Spencer adds with finality. âYouâre clearly anxious, and you look like you need to get some proper sleep.â
You bit the inside of your cheek at Spencerâs insistence, flickering your eyes over to the book on the table, its embossing glinting slightly under the warm overhead light.
He might not exercise it often, but Spencer definitely knew how to put his foot down when he needed to.
âThank youâŠâ
âHey, look at me?â Spencer waits until you look at him, then he offers you a soft, reassuring smile. â...Everythingâs gonna be okay. Okay?â
You give him a short nod with a pursed smile, not entirely convinced of his assurance but wanting to go along with it anyway for the sake of being able to calm down enough to at least get some sleep. âOkay,â
âLetâs get you set up for the night. Weâll talk this through in the morning.â
Spencer stands up, pushing himself up from the sofa with his hands and leaving into the bedroom. âGet as comfy as youâd like okay? Iâll be back.â
He turns to leave then stops at the door and looks at you one more time. âOh, and... do you want to borrow one of my T-shirts?â
The invitation was obvious. âUh yeah if you donât mindâŠâ
He gives you a small nod as he retreats into his bedroom, re-emerging a few minutes later with a fleece blanket, one of the pillows from his bed, and a black T-Shirt identical to the one he was wearing. âHere, my couch probably isnât the comfiest place to sleep but-â
He hands the T-shirt over to you with a small smile, stacking the blanket and the pillow on the end of the sofa.
âDonât be silly Spencer, Iâm grateful for you even letting me in let alone letting me stay over on such short notice,â You return his smile with one of your own as you take the shirt from him, retreating into the bathroom to change into it.
You feel the soft cotton against your bare skin as you pull the fabric over your head, noticing that itâs been washed recently, and it still has a slight smell of Spencerâs cologne. It falls quite low, Spencer having to have bought a bigger size than he realistically needed due to the length of his torso.
Your mind continues to run rampant as you exit the bathroom, a mix of the overwhelming stress of your situation and the conflicting feeling of serenity from the solicitude radiating from Spencer.
It was a lot to process for it to be just 1am.
You basically collapse onto Spencerâs couch, burying your head into his pillow with a groan and unfolding the blanket to throw it over yourself.
âIf you need anything, anything at all just wake me up okay?â Spencer continued to express that kind compassion that made your chest tingle a little, definitely not helped by the faint scent of his cologne radiating from his pillow, joined by a trace of lavender, most likely an essential oil heâd been using in the hope it would help him sleep better.
âYeah, thank you again Spencer, it really means a lot.â Your voice is half muffled by the angle of your head against the pillow as you crane your neck to look at him.
âItâs really no problem. Youâre always welcome,â He switched off the small lamp keeping the living room, dimly lit, allowing it to fall into a comfortable darkness. âGet some sleep okay?â
âYeah, thank you SpenceâŠâ Spencer gives you one last smile, joined by a half wave that you found more endearing than awkward, before leaving for his bedroom and clicking the door shut behind him.
For the next half hour or so you lie awake on his couch, trying in vain to sleep despite the rampaging thoughts running through your head. It was only when you heard Spencer open the door and quietly enter the room that you finally turned your head to look at him.
The surprise on his face told you that he hadnât expected you to be still awake. âWhy are you still up?â
âMy mindâs running a million miles a minute, why are you up?â Your voice is partially hoarse from tiredness, and you shift around on the couch until you are lying facing in his direction.
âJust wanted to get a glass of waterâŠâ Spencer purses his lips slightly as his eyes trail over the position youâre lying in, clearly feeling a sad-sympathy at your mindâs insistence at you staying awake. âHey, can I try something?â
Spencer slowly makes his way over to where youâre lying, taking a seat on the edge of the coffee table in front of you.
âSure?â You raise an eyebrow slightly, rubbing one of your knuckles over your eyelid. Spencer smiles at your reaction, extending his hand palm-up.. âAlright... can I have your hand please?â
âShould I sit up?â You extend your right hand towards him, using your left to prop yourself up onto your elbow.
Spencer shakes his head. âNo, no, keep being comfortable... I think I know how to fix your problem.â
Spencer then reaches out and takes your hand firmly in his, holding it between both of his hands with your palm facing the ceiling. âReady?â
You give him a short nod in expectancy, eyes flickering between the way his hands hold yours and his eyes as you lie on your back.
His hands were frigidly cold compared to the warmth of his apartment, but you couldnât say that it was uncomfortable, it was actually quite soothing, a nice contrast from the small cocoon of warmth under the blanket.
Spencer slowly rubs his fingers on the inside of your palm, adding a gentle pressure first to the bases of your fingers and working his way down slowly, pressing the pads of his fingertips into your skin in small circles. âClose your eyes and breathe deeply.â
You follow his guidance with no hesitation, relaxing back into the pillow beneath your head and closing your eyes as you focus on the feeling of Spencerâs fingers dancing over the palm of your hand.
âJust breathe in and out....â You can hear the confidence in his voice as he continues to move the pressure downwards, pressing his thumb against your wrist and gently massaging it.
âA lack of sleep is usually the cause of delayed melatonin production, and studies have shown that certain pressure points on our bodies can help speed up the process.â Spencer begins to explain the reasoning and process behind the gentle hand massage heâs giving you, his voice soft and quiet.
âIt was traditionally used in China as a part of acupressure, with six identified pressure points on our bodies that encouraged the production of serotonin and melatonin to help with relaxation and reduce chronic pain, but in the present day itâs been adapted into a massaging technique to help people fall asleep.â
The softness of his voice paired with the gentle massaging of his fingers on your wrist quickly left you feeling more relaxed.
âThere are two pressure points on different points of your ankles, one point on each foot, one between your eyebrows, one behind each of your ears, and one on each of your wrists.â You find yourself nodding along to his explanation absentmindedly as you enjoy the gentle pressure of his fingers.
âAlthough, the only pressure points that have been reliably linked to melatonin production are those on your wrists and behind your ears, here, lie on your side for me.â Spencer gives your wrist a gentle pull to encourage you to turn over, which you very gladly oblige to, humming a soft agreement as you turn to lie of your side facing him with your eyes still closed.
He gently slides his hand up the side of your neck, the coldness of his fingers sending a small shudder up your back, and he presses his thumb into the small gap between your jaw and the rest of your skull, rubbing it in slow circles.
You let out a small, almost inaudible sigh at the gentle pressure heâs applying, and Spencer can tell that youâre quickly falling into full relaxation. âThe best results from acupressure occur after 3 - 5 minutes of continuous pressure andâŠâ
His voice trails off slowly as he feels the tension in your jaw release, and he glances down towards your face, a small smile adorning his features at your relaxed expression. ââŠis best done in a comfortable environmentâŠâ
He continues to rub gentle circles into your skin for the next few minutes before gently removing his hand from you, standing up from where he was sat on the coffee table with a soft smile still gracing his features.
âSleep well..â He whispers the words under his breath as he slowly retreats back to his bedroom, the glass of water he originally sought after completely forgotten about.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Itâd been a few days since youâd confided in Spencer about the stalking situation and stayed the night with him, and fit with a new set of locks on your doors, youâd gone back home to stay on your own.
You walk into the BAU office expecting to see Spencer at his desk like always, ready to talk through your next steps forward with him, except he wasnât there. You check the watch on your wrist. 7:45. He shouldâve arrived by now. Why wasnât he here?
"Hey uh, do you know where Spencer is?" You approach Morgan over at the kitchenette, leaning against the counter top with your elbow.
âGood morning to you too lover.â Morgan gives a half-laugh at your lack of your usual greetings, making sure to throw in a tease about how the first thing you talk about is Spencerâs whereabouts, not something entirely unfounded considering how close you and Spencer had been getting over the last week or so.
âHa ha very funny, do you know where he is?â You respond to his quip with a slight roll of your eyes.
Morgan shrugs his shoulder slightly, taking a sip of his freshly made coffee. âMaybe he slept in,â
âSpencer Reid? The man with four wake up alarms?â You furrow your expression slightly. Something about Spencer not already being in the office didnât sit right with you.
âOkay okay, maybe that was a bad guess, but I donât know, who knows what he might be doing,â Morgan remains nonchalant if not a little heedless. âMaybe he stumbled on an antique Russian novel collection on the way to work or something,â
âHeâs never late for work-â You mutter to yourself under your breath, half-ignoring Morganâs attempts at explaining Spencerâs lateness, and you pull your phone out of your pocket, dialling Spencerâs number and holding up the phone to your ear, the consecutive rings echoing out of your phoneâs speaker.
Pick up Spencer.
If anyone on the BAU team would know Spencerâs whereabouts, it should be the two of you. And yet neither of you had any clue where he was.
The phone continues to ring until it reaches his voicemail. thereâs no answer.
Something was wrong.
You try to call him again. Nothing. This was not like Spencer at all.
Your anxiety spikes as your subconscious links his lack of answering back to your stalking situation, What if Spencer was in danger? What if this stalker had followed you to Spencerâs apartment that night you stayed with him and now knew where he lived?
The minute your brain made the connection you were turning on your heels to exit the office, grabbing your car keys from your desk as you did so.
âHey-â Morgan follows you over to your desk, putting an arm out as you try to walk past him. âWhere are you going?â
âIâm going to Spencerâs apartment.â You try to push Morganâs arm out of the way, only for him to block you with his entire body instead.
âSlow your roll there turbo, everyone is late every now and again, that doesnât mean we have to turn up to their house out of nowhere.â Morganâs explanation would be logical under normal circumstances, but he didnât know that you were being stalked. Nor did he know that this stalker had possibly found Spencerâs address due to your own stupidity leaving him in potential danger.
âListen Morgan I appreciate your apprehension but I do not have time for this right now.â You manage to swerve your way around Morgan and push your way out of the glass doors of the BAU office, bee-lining it down the stairwell instead of waiting for the elevator.
âHey! Wait up!â Morganâs voice echoes down the stairwell as he runs out of the office after you, only managing to catch up to you as you stop to unlock your car, and he blocks the door from opening with his hand. âWhat is going on?â
âMorgan, if you want to ask me questions, get in the car.â The tone of your voice leaves no room for argument, and Morgan can tell be this point taht youâre not alright, so he gives you a short nod and goes around the front of the car to get in the passengerâs side.
Please be okay, please be okay...
Thatâs whatâs going through your mind as you leave the BAU building, running the speed limit as you drive towards Spencerâs apartment with an awful feeling in your stomach.
âSo are you going to tell me whatâs going on or what?â Morgan begins his questioning as soon as you hit the main road.
âI think Spencer is in danger.â You keep your eyes trained on the road, both hands braced against the steering wheel as you turn a roundabout.
âOkay, listen.... Iâm with you in the fact that this is very out of character for Spencer... but thereâs no use in jumping to conclusions, okay?â He puts a hand on your shoulder, clearly concerned at how fast your mind linked Spencer being late with him being in danger. âLetâs just approach this calmly and rationally.â
âI am being rational.â
âNo youâre not, youâre panicking,â Morgan gives your shoulder a squeeze before letting his hand fall back into his lap. âJust take a deep breath and a second to think.â Morganâs voice was full of a calm, soothing reassurance even as you were clearly anxious. âYouâre gonna give yourself a panic attack if you donât.â
âI know I know Iâm fine-â
You open your palms against the steering wheel as if to emphasise your point, exhaling heavily through your nose as you pull into the parking lot of Spencerâs Apartment building, leaving your car parked at an angle across two parking spaces.
Youâre thankful in this moment that Spencer lives so close to the office building, and you shut off the car quickly, exiting it with the same haste.
Morgan follows closely behind you as you jog across the concrete towards the entrance of the building, locking your car remotely as you pushed the outside door open and started your ascent of the stairs.
âCome on, calm down you donât need to run-â Morgan called after you as he followed you up the stairs, continuing to try in vein to get you to take a step back and just calm down a little.
You didnât listen of course, and you only come to a halt once youâve reached Spencerâs apartment door.
You reach out your right hand to knock as Morgan reaches your side, but as your knuckles come into contact with the wood of the door it creaks open, the hinge pin of the door not fully closed.
Oh no.

The only reference to Chloe being crass is pre-her and Max being in a relationship and pre-ending of LiS1 a major traumatic event. She doesn't joke about her, Rachel, and Frank; she doesn't make that sort of joke in her convo with David in LiS2-Bae; or in True Colors-Bae; or in the far more accurate comics where she's far more grounded. Also Chloe just isn't into guys.
Glad to see someone who actually does get this, cause even Michel Koch has stated that these two would NOT break up. They may have "bumps in the road" but not full-break up. And the right way to do it is RIGHT THERE for Decknine, namely a separation that MAX suggests due to acknowledging her being held back by her trauma. Also making it an actual player choice scene where you can choose to "fight for the relationship" (separated but like having a pin put in it to be resumed after Caledon) or go for a full-break that'd still be against DontNod's canon but would follow their tenet of respecting player choice vs. having an off-screen forced break up.
I'm glad you still have faith in Decknine; mine along with any respect for them have gone out the window. Because alongside the things you mention are character assassinations of both Max and Chloe; the basically shoving of a softer, femmed up, traditional mainstream appealing lipstick lesbian Chloe knockoff that is more in-line with Decknine's preference. They don't like the abrasive, punk masc, hardened, futch lesbian type that Chloe represents. Now if they were to prove me wrong by actually doing that type of Chloe reveal you're mentioning then maybe they could actually put out the fire on DE; but I personally don't think they will cause there's a very obnoxious tone throughout DE towards DontNod, LiS1, and the characters from both that. But there is a YT'er Podcast Now who's also trying to keep the faith in a similar vein.
I'm not actually sure that it is the same group that worked on BtS that even in itself tries to softening & femme-ing up Chloe, and sanitizing Rachel. Which ngl I actually do prefer their take on Rachel, but that lines up with her being more in their preference. She's a bisexual femme. Like the Chloe in DE isn't even Chloe, its Rachel with a Chloe name-tag slapped on. Rachel would leave, Rachel would be talking to Victoria, Rachel would be a "free spirit", not Chloe. Here's the thing I think they're inept, ignorant on, and honestly pretty clearly disrespectful towards DontNod & their writing; because they have an obnoxious view towards it. I actually believe the ex-staffer that said the narrative team dislikes Chloe and even referred to her as a "manic pixie girl"; I believe that they're trying to do a "You (the player) can't be with that poor lowlife (Chloe). We've got a handsome well-off traditional one for you over here (Amanda) and we know better than you" angle that overrides LiS1 with their own garbage. That they think all LGBT+ is interchangeable, so it should be fine to throw out Pricefield cause Amanda is there (which they are quickly finding out is NOT the case). When Decknine does their own canon works, they can be great, looking at you True Colors; but they clearly aren't reading the room or respecting LiS1 or DontNod's view on things. They don't like Chloe and instead prefer femmes; I now believe that the one other ex-staffer was right that they do indeed consider Bay over Bae as the morally right choice; I believe that they do thumb their noses at DontNod's writing from a stance of differing waves of feminism clashing; and that they should never have gone near LiS1. Hell if anything they should've brought on Emma Vieceli (LiS comics writer) as a consultant cause she actually shows what a work by a fan with respect to the source and source makers looks like). But I commend your holding out hope and hope that you're rewarded for it; I want soooooooooo much to be wrong in the end.
A little less than a week before the full release of the Double Exposure and this is what I have to say about Pricefield as a Pricefielder:
The journal entry between Max and Chloe joking about the threesome with the dude didnât actually seem like a mischaracterization (to me at least, I admit that can be argued though) mostly because we all know that Chloe has a crass and edgy sense of humor and I really donât think Chloe was being fr about the three having sexâŠ.i saw online a lot of people were pressed about that but idk i just saw typical Chloe joking around
The breakup sucked, I feel like I (as well as most Pricefielders) wouldâve understood and been more okay with Pricefield being on a break during the events of the game. It wouldâve been a better writing choice and it wouldâve made sense at the point both of them are in their lives. If anybody understands Pricefield is that yes there was a lot of emotional baggage and trauma from the events of save bae but Pricefield doesnât abandon each other. Period.
I do genuinely think that Chloe will still show up even if itâs just a crumb. I think she could show up in a text message in the very very very final cutscene of the game that will imply both are going to be in contact again, it could be a cutscene where the doorbell rings at Maxâs house and she opens the door and sheâs like âChloe?!?!â And Chloe is offscreen (kinda like that last scene in monsters Inc. lol)
The reason I think she HAS to make a cameo if you kept her alive is because she keeps showing up, in reminiscing dialogue, max mentions her when she graffitis Colmoneroâs cardboard cutout, in social media. Based on trailer footage it seems like we still have to see Max explaining to Moses and Safi about the events of Arcadia bay and Chloe will obviously have to be mentioned (and the blue butterfly cameo scene still wasnât shown in chapters 1&2)
Speaking of, has ANYBODY noticed that even though people text you in both timelinesâŠ.chloeâs messages remained pinned either at the top or the 2nd slot from your last text message? I played chapters 1&2 and I noticed that small detail. Idk if itâs the same with bay ending timeline with Joyce, but I did find it odd.
Deck Nine created on Before The Storm. This is the same team that worked on the LiS remastered version. I hate them for what they have done with Pricefield but they really canât be stupid enough to work on those projects and not understand the legacy that they are tainting by destroying pricefield. Perhaps Iâm being an optimist, but I think that the Pricefield breakup reveal is part of a bigger plot twist. Life is Strange as a series in whole, regardless of what studio has worked on the games, always does a crazy job at plot twists because they are narrative games. They are stories. Deck nine also has other narrative games outside of LiS. Iâm trying to hold out hope that this game ends better than how it started both plot wise and Pricefield wise

âââ
"How long has it been?" (Y/N)'s friend asked as they both ate their lunch.
"Has what been?" (Y/N) responded with a question of her own, her eyebrows furrowed slightly because her friend gave no prerequisites to her ask.
"How long have you and Arthur been together?" her friend then elaborated, a quizzical look on her face.
"I believe it'll be..." she paused to make sure that she had her math right, "seven months next week actually," she then finished her statement with a smile.
A smile formed on her face anytime Arthur was mentioned. He was a sweet man, one who certainly had his faults, and he was very kind to her. He showered her with physical affection and always made sure that she was safe and protected.
"Seven months?!" her friend repeated in a shocked manner, her eyes wide now, "seven months with this bloody guy and there's yet to be talk of engagement?"
(Y/N) scoffed slightly at the statement, "you say it like I'm supposed to be on some sort of timeline with him," she pointed out while trying to laugh it off. Still, she couldn't stop the uneasy feeling that was creeping its way into her stomach. Was she supposed to be engaged already?
"There kind of is a timeline for it, (Y/N)," her friend stayed serious. (Y/N) only scoffed again.
"If there is, I've never heard of it," she went back to brushing it off again.
The other woman still looked rather concerned though. "He really hasn't brought anything up?" she queried. (Y/N) shook her head. "There's been no talks of marriage?" Another head shake. "No discussion of future plans?" And another. By this time, her friend's eyes were so wide that they were about to fall out of their sockets. "Have you spoken about your relationship with him at all, (Y/N)?" she asked incredulously.
"Of course we have!" (Y/N) was quick to defend herself. Her friend wasn't having it though, and the look she was sporting made it clear. "I mean who doesn't?" she tried to hold steadfast on her stance, but her friend was not cracking. So finally she let out a long sigh, "ok we really don't talk about stuff like that together," she admitted, pouting slightly like a child that had to confess what they did wrong.
Now her friend looked confused. "You don't?" she questioned, like she was checking to make sure she heard correct.
(Y/N) shook her head with a slight frown. "No...we don't," she affirmed.
Within seconds, her friend was asking questions. "Well then what kind of stuff do you talk about together?" was the one that (Y/N) decided to focus on.
"We talk about our lives, and the fact that we enjoy being with each other and spending time with each other. I let him know how much I love him, and what I feel for him, but Arthur...he's not the best at expressing those types of things," she tried to explain, hoping her friend would comprehend her rambling.
The other woman nodded along with what she was hearing. She then pursed her lips together as she thought about what she'd say next. "You should talk to him about it," she finally said then, her abrupt piece of advice making (Y/N)'s jaw go slack.
"Just out of nowhere?" she asked, shocked by her friend's sudden suggestion.
"Why not?" her friend shrugged.
"Because it'll be out of nowhere," she repeated her previous answer with a new emphasis placed on the final word, "and plus...Arthur'll be so confused as to why I'm bringing stuff like that up all of a sudden."
"You have a right to talk about it, you know. You're able to ask questions about the future because it's yours just as much as it is his," her friend pointed out, her statement making (Y/N) think for a moment.
"Maybe I'll bring it up to him," (Y/N) finally agreed with the other woman after a few quiet moments. Her friend grinned upon hearing that her thoughts had been listened to. "Can we please talk about something else now?" (Y/N) then asked, wanting desperately to change the topic of discussion. Her friend agreed, and the women began talking about which plants were coming into season and what they would be planting in their home gardens.
ââ
(Y/N) was sitting in the front room when the door to the house opened later that evening. "(Y/N)?" she heard Arthur call out for her as his footsteps sounded off the hardwood flooring.
"In the front room!" she called back, a smile forming on her face as she heard his footsteps approaching.
"There you are," Arthur grinned when his eyes fell onto her. (Y/N) smiled as she stood up to walk over to the archway and meet him halfway. She wrapped her hands around his midriff and hugged him before pulling back to peck his lips. "How are you, love?" he asked with a smile once they'd pulled away.
"I'm well," she answered, "you?"
"Just dandy...better now that I'm home with you," he responded, his sweet words making her cheeks heat up.
"I'm happy to hear that," she told him, then taking his hand so that she could lead him to the couch she was once sitting on, "come sit with me."
"Something wrong?" he asked once they were sitting. (Y/N) had her hands in her lap and she was looking at them rather than at him. It made him worry that there was something on her mind, or that something had happened.
"Not necessarily wrong..." (Y/N) started off, pausing for a moment. Her words made Arthur's brows furrow in confusion. "I wanted to talk to you...about us," she continued, finally looking up at him then.
Arthur's heart jumped to his throat as he took in what she said. His eyes widened slightly at the possibilities now swirling through his head. Was she breaking up with him? "Ok, uh..."
"I'm not breaking up with you!" (Y/N) blurted out with wide eyes as she realized how he could have taken her previous statement. She certainly said it in a way that brought those types of thoughts to mind. She took relief when she saw Arthur exhale the breath that he had sucked in to prepare himself for her parting words. "I just wanted to talk about our relationship...you know, we've been together for almost seven months now."
"I do know," Arthur nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. The fact that he'd managed to keep a woman as amazing as (Y/N) for as long as he had surprised him daily.
She'd come into his life when he needed her the most. He'd just been released from prison, where he was seconds away from being hanged for one of his many crimes...a crime that his own brother had essentially put him there for. He was pretty much lost after that. With his entire family indifferent and not speaking to each other, he wasn't sure where to go or what to do. Then he met (Y/N) at the end of a church gathering that he attended â one of the few things that he still held onto from his previous life after Linda left during his time in prison. (Y/N) was sweet, a woman who seemed to bring the light with her everywhere she went. So it surprised Arthur when she agreed to go to eat with him for brunch after church one day. Seven months later, the fact that she hadn't left him still surprised him.
"I couldn't help but wonder...why do we never talk about our future together?" she then posed the question that had been in her mind since her friend stuck it there earlier in the day. "Why don't you ever let me know how you feel about me?"
"We've talked about our future, haven't we?" Arthur's statement sounded more like a question, "I've told you that I want you in it."
"What about feelings?" (Y/N) called attention to the second part of her statement.
Arthur sucked in and exhaled a deep breath, looking away from (Y/N) briefly as he thought of how to say his answer. "I...I'm no good at expressing feelings, (Y/N). I never have been, and it's not only to you. I just...I can't think of the words to say," he tried his best to explain to her, unable to stop himself from feeling guilty for leaving her without some of his thoughts on her. He loved her deeply, but it was hard for him to say. He made sure to show her through his actions and whatnot, but he couldn't help but feel bad that he wasn't giving her this verbal confirmation that she seemingly needed.
(Y/N) sent a sort of a sad smile in response to his statement. "It can't be that hard to do, Arthur, can it?" she asked softly, wanting to hopefully get more information on why he was so hesitant to speak his mind.
Arthur sighed again. "My family doesn't really talk about feelings. We just say our piece and get on with it. It's tough for me to let go of that way of thinking around you, but I'll try to do so more in the future since you'd want me to," he told her, hoping that his decision to try more would be enough for her tonight. The smile that formed on her face upon hearing his words gave him the confirmation that he needed.
"That's all I can ask for, Arthur, thank you," she said with a smile as she leaned in and pressed a kiss to his cheek. "I love you," she told him, pulling back slightly to look into his eyes.
This could have been the perfect time for him to start trying, but he didn't. Instead he smiled and pressed a kiss to her lips, instead letting his actions speak for him once more. (Y/N) couldn't stop the slight feeling of sadness that arose at his response, but she didn't comment on it. She knew that he wouldn't change his ways right away just because he said he would. So she accepted what he gave to her and left it there.
â
Not long after their discussion, Arthur and (Y/N) made their way to bed. It was quiet as they both changed out of their day clothes in exchange for what they'd be sleeping in. The quiet remained until they were both under the covers and the lights had been turned off.
"Goodnight, Arthur," (Y/N)'s words came out in a whisper.
"Goodnight, love," Arthur responded, turning his head to press a kiss to her temple before exhaling a sigh.
Nothing else was said as the two fell asleep. And while Arthur slept soundly, (Y/N) couldn't seem to keep her eyes shut for long. Soon enough she was awake again, feeling like she'd had a full night's rest when in reality she'd only maybe been sleeping an hour. So she laid there and thought about what had happened that day, her mind getting stuck on the conversation she had with Arthur. She hoped that he meant what he said about wanting her to be in his future and that he wasn't just saying that little bit to appease her and get her mind off of the topic. She stayed in her thoughts until the very man she was thinking about started talking.
"I don't think I could picture my life without you now, (Y/N)..." Arthur spoke. His voice was soft but his words were clear.
"Arthur?" (Y/N) questioned, turning on her side slightly to look at him. She was met with the surprise that he was still sleeping.
"You've changed my life for the better in so many ways. I couldn't possibly think of letting you go," he continued.
(Y/N) couldn't stop the smile from forming on her face. She'd never heard Arthur talk in his sleep before. But then again, she was hardly awake during the night, so if he did, she wouldn't know. She wanted to wake him up and tell him that he was sleep-talking, but at the same time, she wanted to let him be and see what else he'd say. So she chose the latter.
"I love you, (Y/N). Would you do the honor of marrying me?"
This statement made her eyes widen. Did he just ask her to marry him in his sleep? It certainly sounded like it. She held her breath and waited for what he would say next, but nothing came. He was finished talking. After waiting a good bit of time to see if he'd say anything more and hearing nothing, (Y/N) rolled back onto her side and closed her eyes. She couldn't help but replay what he'd said in her mind and just thinking of it allowed her to finally go back to sleep.
â
The next morning, (Y/N) flipped on her side to see that Arthur was just starting to wake up. She watched him as he stretched his arms out and let out a groan as one of his bones cracked.
"Mornin', love," he greeted her once he saw that she was also awake, "how'd you sleep?" he asked then.
"Beautifully," she answered, remembering what she'd heard during the night, "you?" she then flipped the question on him.
"I slept alright," he nodded slightly, "had some pretty crazy dreams though," he added, scratching his forehead after he spoke.
âOh really?â she raised her eyebrows slightly in intrigue at his words.
âYeah,â he answered with a slight laugh.
âDid you know that you talk in your sleep?â she then asked him after a few moments of silence had passed.
Arthur turned to look at her with furrowed eyebrows after he heard what she said. âI do?â he questioned, showing her that he obviously didnât know that he did.
âYou do,â she affirmed, nodding slightly, âI heard you talking last night...thought that you were awake and wanted to have a conversation but when I turned around, you were sleeping,â she explained the reason behind her random question.
âHuh,â Arthur laughed to himself at the idea. He never would have thought that he talked in his sleep, but then again...who ever thinks that they would? âWhat was I sayinâ?â he asked her then, a grin on his face.
(Y/N) smiled at the words that heâd told her last night and then weighed out whether or not she wanted to tell him them. âI donât remember,â she finally said, hoping that her expression wouldnât tell him otherwise.
Luckily, he didnât comment on it. âNext time I do it, youâll have to remember what I say so that you can tell me,â he told her and she nodded.
âIâll make sure to remember every word,â she promised him, knowing that itâd be easy to do so if it was anything along the lines of what he was saying the night before.

You're a disgusting being for interacting with the monster that is dead-dyke, I'll stab you both if I ever see in real life, know that
I figured I'd just publish this so anyone who wants to can see how fucked up call out posts are. Actually sending me a death threat because I did more than zero fact checking on a call out that's as fake and full of shit as every call out.
On a related note, in my research travels I found what I can only describe as a call out subculture. In essence, a loosely organized group who seem ferociously committed to making sure every single call out they find gets pushed and maintained. This is pretty interesting because it's a kind of resurgence of purity culture, a policing of language and sex that's done under the guise of being progressive or protective, when the reality of it all is oppression of outsiders.
It's not a huge surprise that they often particularly target marginalized people or anyone who shows support to marginalized people. Or, weirdly, seem to be able to suss out someone being part of a disenfranchised social group. For example, the above threat is also antisemitic. I don't bring up my background much, but sometimes it feels like they just... know.
And in a broader sense, I also see a trend of paranoia about sex or language being treated as something profane. My joking post about my neovagina is a good example, it being tagged NSFW or similar literally hundreds of times. I'm baffled and this seems like a good time to bring it up. It's a humorous post with no content that would rate higher than a pg-13 movie rating other than maybe some curse words. Yet it's out there being tagged like it should be 18 and over.
Which brings me to a strange tentative hypothesis that there's some sort of nebulous connection between these types of purity police and radical feminists, which would suggest they spring from a shared authorian or fascist source. And before you dismiss it as overly generalized, let's look at the facts.
Both of them share a use of progressive language designed to make it appear as if they're providing positive resources. However, they also demand uncritical allegiance. If you find any fault with their reasoning, you become immediately treated as a threat. Consider how radfems treat the concept of masculinity, and look to Judith Butler for how quickly they turned agaisnt someone who critized them - including going so far as to take an essay Butler wrote against pedophilia, and selectively pull quotes making it look like Butler was pro-pedo. Now, guess what every single purity police call out post claims? Yeah. It's designed to try to override any reason, and as you can see above, it works. Someone has decided they'd rather commit a transphobic, antisemitic hate crime over the simplest amount of review.
So they have that going on, a kind of low key recruitment to encourage violence and unthinking obedience as opposed to critical thinking. The other aspect is they are both obsessed with purity. Obsessed with having an unblemished legacy of absolutely unimpeachable, perfect behavior. With authoritarians this generally manifests in being able to show a spotless lineage, showing that you unfailingly support the party and its beliefs at all moments of your life, public or private. In radfems, it manifests in their opposition to kinky sex, sex work, devaluation of any woman who may like a man, etc. And for the call out and purity groups, it manifests as that you cannot ever have misspoken online, had an opinion which deviates from the modern accepted norm, never have done anything wrong in all your online history, because they will follow it back as far as possible, and pull something from ten years ago or more just to proclaim how terrible you are in present. Or to use a different example, I remember reading another callout which claimed the subject had got a bottle of champagne after a big fundraiser for rent or some such. And let me tell you talk about puritanism. Did you know you can get a bottle of champagne for ten bucks? Making it seem like someone is a monster for spending three cups of Starbucks on a small celebration is beyond fucked up, it's disingenuous bullshit.
So, yeah, it seems like a leap, but the devil of this is literally the details. The details which aren't included in a call out, the manipulation of language in a call out, the sneaking in of false accusations disguised as "proved" with sketchy screen shots. The demand of unthinking allegiance. The suspicious focus only on marginalized people.
My dear purity police people, my call out culture fellows, your true colors are showing.
(yes you may reblog this, in fact I encourage it, but as usual please be sensible and don't send the asker anon hate, or anything worse - we don't do that, just block or ignore them)

author note: I have so much writing I have started and plotted and I am drawing blanks. Then somehow I wrote this randomly and I didnât know whether I should be disappointed or proud in actually finishing something.
You thought youâd be far from Joshuaâs type. He was always so nice to everyone and wholesome to the point heâs convinced everyone he doesnât have a dirty thought in his head. Heâs not supposed to have a type, he wasnât supposed to be interested in sex like most people.
âHow long do you think it takes for me to make you cum with just my thigh?â
However, the way he knew how to make you wet in a single sentence was a talent in itself.
You became his girlfriend about a month ago when you confessed. Having no reason to say no, he made you his girlfriend. Heâd walk you to classes, invite you to his study groups, and managed to find days to spend time with you outside of the university. This prompted many awkward moments, many ineffective bonding exercises, and many empty silences. However, things came with time and patience, and once they arrived, youâre left wondering how have you been missing this your entire life.
âHave you had sex before, Y/n?âÂ
Shocked by his question out of the blue, you looked away from your phone and set it aside, turning back to Joshua with your full attention, âN-no, you have?â
He nodded nonchalantly. âI did with the last person I dated.â
âOh,â you blinked, âthatâs a little surprising. You just seemed like the type to wait.â
Unoffended, Joshua grinned knowingly. âWell, people would assume wrong if thatâs what they thought. Are you the type to wait?â
You pressed your lips in a tight line. âI havenât really thought about it.â
âThen, how about trying it with me?â He casually suggested.
You werenât someone that put your virginity up to a pedestal, but there was never any time for you to consider putting sex in your calendar. To you, sex was simply a social construct limited things for the people that followed the herd. You imagined itâd happen naturally and at the moment with someone youâd be willing to have it with. Then again, if it had to be anyone in the world, you wouldnât have minded Joshua.
âMaybe, like I said, I havenât really thought about it.â
âWell, when you think about it, or segway into the idea, let me know. No pressure.â He smiled, slouching in his seat.
âWe could work out way up to sex,â you offered, âI donât mind a little bit of intimacy first.â
Joshua thought to himself for a moment before nodding. âOkay, baby steps, when do you want to try it out?â
You responded a beat later. âNow? Is now a good time?â
His lips stretched wider. âOkay.â
He scooted closer on his couch and grasped your hand. He pressed his palm flat against yours, meeting each otherâs cool and smooth surface before interlocking. âThis okay?â
You shrugged, âYeah, but we can do a bit more.â
He nodded. He took the opportunity to bring the back of your hand to his lips and land a kiss. You grinned, blushing like a schoolgirl. âOkay, weâre getting there.â
Joshuaâs eyes flashed a light of interest, quick to offer an idea. âHow about kissing?â
A nervous gulp ran down your throat. âY-yeah. That'd be alright.â
His free hand cautiously went up to cup your cheek. You compulsively stared back at his eyes, inching towards you closer until there was almost the room left to breathe. His lips hovered over yours, hesitant, still having your best interest in heart. He eventually closed the gap between your lips and hugged its shape, molding each other to the perfectly fitted kiss. Naturally, he released himself from your intertwined hand to cup your other cheek, pressure building up the heat of that very moment. Your hands planted against his chest, slowly finding home in his body before settling on his sides. You felt Joshuaâs mouth grow wider and angle his head at you for an advantage, making you lower your body down on the couch as he began to tower over you.Â
Your head fell deeper in the cushions beneath you and Joshua only grew hungrier and bolder. His hand trailed down your side, gripping your hips in the direction of his own, the sensation of his lower body grinding yours so heavenly, making you moan in frustration. He parted from your lips hearing the foreign sound, staring down at you with fascination, wondering how such a sensual sound could leave lips belonging to yours. It only lasted so long until he met your lips once more, wondering what other sounds he could get you to make.
That night lived in your head, using up all the utilities and water inside with no rent due. It awakened something for the both of you. It was new, it was exciting. It got you closer, now walking around campus hand in hand, taking the breaks between classes to make out in either of your dorms, and planning personal dates with one another that also lead to another round of ferociously making out. For the once in the month you were together, it started to feel like you were actually dating him. And this only got more intense from there.
âYou want me to ride your thigh? In front of all these people?â You shouted at him in whispers.
âNo oneâs even paying attention to us. Theyâre all drunk or focused on the movie. Even if we get caught, who cares.â
You squirmed in his lap, feeling your arousal pool a stain in the center of your panties. âThatâs really risky, Josh.â
âCome on, you know you want to.â
He propped a leg up between your crotch, catching you by surprise, and you couldnât help but embrace it as it came. His hands land against your hips, feeling you organically move against him, grinding your clothed cunt over his strong lower body. Quickly scanning the room for any peeping toms, you relaxed against the firmness of his thigh, your arousal growing as you secretly tried getting yourself off. âOkay maybe just for a little bit.â
âYou can take as long as you want, baby.â He sensually breathed in your ear. âAt this rate, Iâm going to have to fuck you on this couch right here.â
âOur first time? Here?â You were lying if you said that didnât sound hot, given the compromising position you were already in.
âDonât worry, baby, I wonât, but you considered it, didnât you? Are you thinking about our first time in front of all our friends to watch?â He pressed his lips to your shoulder, guiding our hips to roll on his lower body.
You clamped your mouth shut when you felt a moment about to erupt from your lips. You grinded against him like how youâd play a slide whistle, except instead of the whistles it was your voice threatening to play a song. You were flushed, feeling your body temperature increase every passing second. âFuck, go find a room.â
He chuckled against your skin and pulled himself with you to follow. Not leaving a word to his preoccupied friends, he hastily threw you in the small laundry room, closing the door behind him. He hoisted you up, placing you against the cold surface of a washing machine. You take his hands, pull him towards you to attach your lips to his. You held his form between your legs, kissing him as you recklessly tried peeling his shirt off.
âI love how aggressive you get, baby.â Joshua smoothed delicate kisses to your neck, watching you unravel his pants next.Â
âYou couldnât wait until we got to your place, you were starting to really scare me back there.â
You found hold of his shaft, bringing it to the dimmed light of the room, salivating at its pre-cum coating. âWhy are you so goddamn big? We were at this party for like fifteen minutes.â
âI canât help it if my hot girlfriend is fucking herself on my thigh,â he said with a knowing smile.
He pulled your shirt over your head, quickly unclasping your bra, your breasts being pulled out in plain view. He took your hand to place it on his erection and stroked it up against his shaft, âplay with it for me.â
Your breasts were coddled in his hands and lapping your nipples in his mouth, sucking the shape of your nipples, his tongue occasionally dragging along its uneven texture. You began stroking him with your nervous hands, anxious yet excited all at once. The way his almond eyes were glued on you like a piece of choice cut steak, you felt heavily self-conscious. You gave him countless handjobs before and with none of the traditional sex to occur, but with the way things were going tonight, it seems like one of Joshuaâs usual playful proposals seems more binding.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Joshua halted his activities with concerned eyes. In response, you shook your head at him frantically. âNothingâs wrong.â
His hand landed on either side of the dryer with you in between, Joshua staring at you intently. âYouâre nervous. If youâre not ready, we can stop. Iâm not going to force you to do anything.â
âI want to do it, I do, I just,â You hesitated, âwhat if something goes wrong?â
âThen we can try again,â he reassured, âitâs not always perfect.â
âBut,â you lowered your gaze, âwhat if Iâm worse than your ex?â
âYou wonât be, Y/n,â he beamed at you, âthere's nothing you can do wrong. In fact, tonight's about you. Howâs that?â
You blinked up at him through your lashes, âHow would that work then?â
He brought your legs around him, wrapping them loosely around his waist, his lips drawing very close to yours. His eyes drew you in like a siren, almost communicating within the silence how much heâd be willing to give you what you deserve, but he knew all too well the effect of his words. âIâll have to fuck you nice and good here. That alright with you?â
You nodded with a subtle smile. Satisfied with your consent, he reclaimed your lips, just as you reclaimed his cock in your hand, tugging his skin more confidently. Your erect nipples poked against his smooth chest as he tried to pull down your shorts. Without looking, he guided himself, trailing along your inner thigh before his finger met your moist slit. His finger dipped in its entrance, coating it in your anticipation for him. âThere it is.â
He parted your lips to aligned himself to you, watching it ease inside you. It was initially quite painful as he slid inside, but you quickly adjusted to his size. Your mouth opened ajar as he landed his first thrust, you clenched around him in reflex. He winced, letting out a gravelly moan. âIf you keep doing that, Iâm not gonna last the long, baby.â
âSorry.âÂ
He shook his head, cupping the side of your cheek. âItâs not your fault, I just gotta control myself better.â
He pushed himself inside you, making you whimper against him, your hands hooking on his shoulders. Picking up your legs, he propped them in his hands, using them as leverage, picking up his pace as well. Your skin began to jiggle against the machine, finding gratification in the management of his thrusts. Little pants would leave your lips as Joshua found a satisfying rhythm and a smile would grow on your face.
âOh g-gosh.â You managed to breathe out.
âDo I make you feel good, baby?â
Dazed, you nodded at him. âYes, yes, keep going.â
Your hands try to find something to grab, accidentally knocking your backside to the manual controls, suddenly the machine moves beneath you and is vibrating under your bare skin. âOhâoh.â
Joshua got rougher with each ram to your wet cunt, realizing the unsteady balance to your position. âGood thinking, baby. Youâre so creative.â
You felt your back arch by the bliss collaboration of your modern-day technology and Joshuaâs exertion. You held yourself against the edges of the washing machine. âMmmh, you f-fuck me so g-good.â
âOh yeah, just a taste of my cock and you canât get enough, huh?â
Your legs locked around him, pushing his full length inside you. Your head lightly falls backward as you rode your high, the emotions of losing you experience this for the first time finally hitting you. It was a somewhat perfect mixture of pain and pleasure, fueling and satisfying your libido, making you know well how much youâll want it more after it eventually ends.Â
You pressed your lips together, suppressing your moans. âMmhmm, t-this was w-well worth the w-wait.â
âTook the words out of my mouth, baby.â
He clutched against your frame, your babbling becoming sporadic. Your arm looped around his shoulders, trying to balance yourself. Your mouth was no longer able to hold back to as waves of pleasure as you gasped his name, falling rhythm to the cycle of the machine that drowned out in his thrusts, filling your insides with his sweet release. Your embrace lasts longer than it shouldâve and Joshua realizes too late the mistake heâs made. âOh shit. Sorry.â
Your smile stretched across your face. âDonât be because weâre gonna do that again.â

hi clef!! i first stumbled upon your art on twitter via a comic tutorial you posted. i finally decided play AA a month ago and remembered about your art and thankfully found your account again. After also finding your tumblr,, its just. wow. going through people's art tags is always a journey, especially when theres stuff in it that are older than a decade, haha. i just wanna say that your improvement over time motivates me to keep drawing, as ive been recently studying forms and shapes in other people's art, and yours is definitely one of the best examples. As im taking a gap year to work on a portfolio for college, i finally had the proper opportunity to start studying art as i wanted.
i mainly wanted to ask- when drawing, what types of references do you use for character poses? they always seem really natural but also have that "homemade feeling"- as in applied really well into an art style. The way you draw expressions is also really immaculate! I was wondering (if its alright with you), whether if you have tips on that too?
thank you regardless, and i hope you have a great day!
I hope this doesn't come off as bragging because honestly when I'm drawing poses I almost never use references đđŠ During my art journey I conditioned myself to draw without references because my parents didn't allow me to have internet access until I went to high school, it was hard to get references for drawing so it was mostly just "frick around and see what happens", I just tried to project whatever I have in mind into the canvas đ Instead of training my eyeballing skill, I ended up training my muscle memory and the way I imagine poses in my head (that's why I'm a bit bad with realism drawing because I have bad eyeballing and real-time observation skills).
I do use references sometimes when the pose is a bit hard to get because it has many foreshortenings and hidden parts like this Diavolo doodle I made, but I studied the reference instead of tracing it so I can get a better gist of how things work in case I'll need to draw the same pose again in the future. (Also I hate that whenever I try to find some references for a specific pose google suggested me porn sites instead zzzz)
But I'm not saying using references is wrong, not at all đ!! It's just my way of drawing! I'm lazy and get distracted easily once I'm scrolling the internet pages, it's also why I don't usually use 3D models in CSP because trying to get the right pose with that may take a while and the outcome isn't really worth the time because it often looks stiff, weightless, and unnatural.
And same goes for expressions! I think being a (somewhat) avid manga reader extends my visual library for expression (and um, I think drawing steamy stuff helps too because you can practice drawing exaggerated expressions and poses, just make sure you're not drawing the same type of expression and pose/angle over and over đłđŠ)
I hope this helps and I'm sorry it got a bit long đđ!!

- This prolly isn't what u wanted but I thought of this and wanted to write it! also this hasn't been proofread and it hasn't been edited at all!
*Btw Veruca Salt is a spoiled kid that gets everything she wants, from Charlie and the chocolate factory.
âââââââââââââââââââ
Your eyes glared down at the younger boy, towering over him to show dominance "S-sis, what're you doing?" Karl asked "Trying to scare you, is it working?" you leaned down and kept eye contact with the stammering boy "u-um not really.." he stuttered out "then why're you stuttering over your words? You're obviously intimidated." you placed your hands on your hips.
"Well why're you trying to intimidate me? I'm just trying to read this book!" he groaned "Because someone has to knock you down a peg, you think just because you're younger that you can get everything you want? Well not if I can help it!" you were furious by the boy.
"What're you on about? What've I done to you?" Karl asked worriedly "You've been asking for a whole lot this week, veruca salt!" you threw your arms in the air and started pacing around him and his chair "What? Like what?" Karl was utterly confused "You've been asking for non-stop rides to your friends houses, and you've been leaving your laundry around for mother to do!" you cross your arms.
"You're overreacting!" Karl complained "Oh I'm not done! You've also been taking money from mom's purse!" you called him out "What- how did you know about that??" Karl immediately became tense "Oh you look so stressed dear brother, just relax- don't worry... I'm not gonna tell her-" Karl sighed in relief "Oh thank god" and got cut off by you finishing your sentence "-If you promise to be a good brother and listen to what your stepsister says!" you finished.
"WHAT? No way! I'm telling mom and dad!" He began to stand up but you pushed him back down "Oh no no no, you're gonna tell them what? That you stole the $200 that mom presumed was stolen by a thief? You gonna explain that to her after she already called authorities and had someone sent to jail?" you spat venom at him.
"You're evil!" Karl shouted "Me? Evil? I'm not the thief here" you grinned mischievously "Although I could be- if you don't wanna have to do everything I say then just give me something precious you own" you held your hand out expectantly "What am I supposed to give you? My soul?" Karl questioned "If you can bare to part with it then yes" you gave a mean smile in response to his sarcasm.
"I have literally nothing!" Karl exclaimed "You have your phone" you suggested "Dad would kill me if he found out I'd given it away!" He shouted "he'd kill you if he found out about that money too" you reminded him "I- I could give you... I'll let you date one of my friends!" Karl smiled nervously as he hoped you'd agree "What friends? You're a nerd, no one would want to be friends with you" snickered.
"S-Sapnap! He's strong, he loves animals, he has big muscles!" Karl said "The brute with dark hair? He's cute but not my type" you yawned "U-m.. Quackity?" a bead of sweat dropped down his face "He's super cool, really funny!" Karl was starting to worry as he was already running out of friends to pair you with "No.. My type is nerdy boys that I can dominate, ones that get nervous a lot and stutter over their sentences" you hinted.
"Oh- like Wilbur? I'm not really his friend but I can try something!!" Karl wasn't getting the hint "No, I was thinking more specifically towards someone like you." you finally told him "M-me? But I'm your brother!" Karl was in disbelief "Step-brother. And I don't really like you, I just think that you're pitiful and if you're gonna be selling someone's body to me in exchange to keep your secrets safe than it may as well be yours." you explained.
"But- Well- I've never done that before!" he put his hands up defensively "Well obviously, who would want to touch a greasy nerd like you?" you sighed. "Well- No, that's wrong!" he shook his head "Well I'm not gonna make you, just give me something else then and I'll be on my way" you told him. Karl looked down at his feet for a moment as he mulled over what was happening and what decision he was gonna make.
Karl lifted his head and made eye contact with you "Okay." he replied "Okay what? Okay you're gonna give me something?" you asked "No- I mean- okay I'm gonna give you my body" he mumbled quietly "Gonna need to speak up, can't hear you over the sound of our parents crying over having such a disappointing child" you ridiculed him.
"I'll give you my body, damnit!" he yelled "hey- quiet down, our parents are only just down stairs!" you made him shut up. "Whatever" he leaned back in his chair and slumped down "Karl. You need to give me your full consent, you can't just go 'yea whatever' and expect me to be fine with that!" you furrowed your eyebrows "Why?? What- do you need me to beg you for it?!" he was getting aggravated.
"Actually yes, I do" you decided to torment him a little bit "Big sis, please please please fuck this desperate loser" he put his hands together to make a praying gesture as he mocked you "That's more like it, runt." you grabbed his chin and forced him to face you "We can stop at any time, if you choose not to speak up then that'll be your fault" you made sure he was fully aware that he had a say even though he wasn't in control.
"Thanks. Now- how do we?" Karl was now confused on what you were gonna do, and he was having some type of delusion that he was gonna be the one in charge dominating you. "I think I'm just gonna have some fun by jerking you off, is that okay bunny?" you teased "W-what do you mean you're gonna jerk me off?" Karl asked nervously "I'm gonna stroke your dick, never done that before?" you bullied him.
"N-no, never even thought about it.." his face became red and flushed, you slowly slid onto his lap and straddled his leg "No? You haven't? Are you lying to your big sister? That's not very nice you know, Mom always told me that you shouldn't lie (Unless it's to your dad) " Karl glanced away from you and tried to hide his face "Aw you can tell me the truth, I'm a good listener after all!" you encouraged him "I haven't.." he persisted.
"Well then let me introduce you to the pleasure that is being jerked off, slide your pants down" you instructed "What? Do I have to.." he was clearly embarrassed "No. I guess I could just palm you through your pants" you shrugged. Karl sighed in relief and let out a small breath, tilting his head back in the chair and waiting for you to do what you wanted.
Your hand dipped between his legs, your palm rubbing his growing bulge "H-Hey that feels weird" he told you "So what? You want me to stop?" he shut his mouth, encouraging you to keep palming him. "This would feel a lot better if you let your cock free, instead your trapping it in your tight pants and strangling it.." you frowned "F-fine.." Karl blushed as he slowly pulled his pants down.
You watched in delight as he released his penis "Oh is this what you were worried about?" you stared down at it "O-Oh god-" Karl felt humiliated and went to put it away but you stopped him "It's cute.. I wouldn't expect a nerd's penis to be big anyways" you told him. Karl's little cock twitched at your words, moving slightly on its own "oh. my. god. You LIKE when I'm mean to you! That's why you never argue back! It all makes sense now.." Karl looked down to avert eye contact.
"That's perfect Karl, you love when I'm mean to you- and I love to make fun of you! Win Win!" you felt a small rush of excitement. Your hand wrapped around his cock which forced a choked out moan from him, his hands moving to cover his face "you're acting quite rude Karl. Look at your big sister when she's talking to you!" you ordered.
Karl slowly revealed his face, revealing how much pleasure he was having. "F-Feel's weird, let go!" he ushered you to let go of his penis, even though his body disagreed; his hips bucking up into your hand to help finish him off "Trust your big sister." you said as you continued to pump your hand around his cock. "Fuck! Fuck you!" Karl's whole body shuddered as he was having an orgasm, his penis twitching in your hand.
"Wow Karl, that was rude." you huffed and narrowed your eyes, your hand still lingering on his crotch "A-are you done now?" Karl panted as he was trying to catch his breath "Done? I've barely even started!" you laughed maniacally as you began to slowly stroke him again "Ah- no no no, that's too much!" Karl whined. "You want me to stop?" you asked him "Yes!" he exclaimed so you let go and pulled away "What?" Karl was confused and a bit upset "Hm? What is it?" you asked "You're just.. done?" he looked saddened.
"You told me to stop!" you explained "yeah but.. I didn't really mean it.." Karl's cheeks were dusted red "Well come back here then" you grabbed his hips and forced him back down onto his chair. Karl was already eager and bucking his hips up against you, your hand grabbed him again and started to jerk him off "Ah!- Ah-" Karl tried to keep quiet but couldn't help the escaped noises that came out.
You placed your free hand over his mouth to try and muffle his moans, his voice vibrating against your hand "You can never be quiet! Always have something to say, don't you?" you rolled your eyes at him. Karl clenched his eyes shut and tapped the chair repeatedly with his hand to let you know he was ready to cum again, you let him release his load yet again but you didn't remove your hand.
"A-Again?? I can only take so much.." Karl whimpered and whined "You're feeling this way already? But I've only just started!" You frowned "Well I guess I can give you a break now but there won't be any breaks later on when our parents go out to dinner." you stood up and got off him. "T-Thanks.." Karl huffed "For what?" you asked "Thanks for um- pleasuring me?" you scoffed and walked back to your room, ready to return at night time when you had Karl all to yourself.
âââââââââââââââââââ

wildflower
pairing: cedric diggory x hufflepuff!reader
summary: you weren't too sure what to think when a new eye candy transfers to hogwarts and becomes the new seeker of the hufflepuff's quidditch team but you realize in time that he is all of what you hoped for.
word count: 3.7k
tags: @specialagentsoftie
note: so this is all just a bunch fluff. i'm not sure how i feel about it in terms of cringey and hope y'all like it! figured i'd post this anyways either way though lol. i made up the way reader and cedric met at hogwarts so, it's non-canon from the movie.
another note: italics are flashbacks! :)
it was cold.
you could see everybodyâs breath in the air outside and knew it was a crime to be out and about now with freezing and chilly weather.
the snow outside coated the ground by inches and the black coats zippered up and wrapped around you only helped so much. you were the type to freeze easily and the climate at hogwarts didn't help your situation at all.
minutes ago before you walked outside, you knocked on the door to his dorm after surveying the hufflepuffâs common room and noticed there weren't very many people around. and when cedric opened the door after you rapped on it a few timesâhe took in the view of your body wrapped around your blanket before pulling you into his room.
pathetically enough, you were shivering in the halls even with your mitten covered hands stuffed in the pockets of your coat. you weren't about to admit the doubled up socks on each of your feet either underneath the knee-length boots you wore today.
"are you cold?" cedric successfully taunted you when you reached your arm out of the pocket of your jacket and then under the blanket to slap his arm. he hissed and glared your way playfully while rubbing his arm dramatically.
you shrugged with a smirk on your lips and he plopped down onto his soft bed. âdonât get too comfortable.â he suggested when noticing you trying to sneakily get underneath his covers.Â
âwhat iâd do for one of those thermal blankets the muggles use.â you sighed dreamingly while watching him walk towards his closet.
âimagine having a postal company deliver the package to hogwarts? dumbledore would have an aneurysm.â cedric replied and you couldnât help yourself when imagining the scenario playing out in your mind.Â
he turned to the side to admire your smile while you were a little distracted while pulling out a coat. then he closed the closet up and walked back over, holding it in your direction to offer an extra to put over your body. you gladly took it with a smile. "thanks ced."
cedric backed up a few steps and brushed a hand through his brunette hair. not being able to help himself he joked, âcanât have you walking around with your blanket wrapped around you. your height already makes you look so adorable.â
you got off from the bed when he exaggerated with your blanket in hand and scoffed. cedric bit his lip nervously while continuing to back up before he felt the wall pressed against him.
he rubbed the back of his nervously while you held the blanket up to his height and above your own head. âiâm just kidding.â he gulped before you took it and put it over his face.
when he tugged it down from his face he spotted you innocently standing by the door with his jacket around you. âi was going to leave it here anyway. just put it on the bed and iâll come get it later after we get back.â
while you zippered it up you noticed this particular jacket was the one that you often saw him wearing before he ended up buying a new one for the upcoming winter that you were suffering in now.
and it was longer than the one you had previously put on about twenty minutes ago so, you couldn't argue with him on that steal.
"alright.â he laughed and added with a more serious tone. âoh and by the wayâyou don't need to thank me. you're my best friend, wildflower."
today was the first quidditch match of the season and you were sitting at the edge of your seat in anticipation. the hufflepuffs didn't score well last season and you were hoping they wouldn't come out with last place again for the year.
y/g/b/f (your girl best friend) sat down on the stands next to you with an umbrella in her hands. you turned and looked at it with a confused face. but she just smiled at your contemplating thoughts and looked up at the sky once before supplying you with an answer.
âwell it looks bright now but i have a feeling itâll rain later.â she always had a suspicion for when it was going to rain or snow and you never second guessed her because every single time she was right.
âdid you know weâre having a new seeker play on the team today? i believe heâs going to be captain too if he plays his cards right this game.â she asked. you didnât know that.
âwait is he the new guy everybody is talking about? i heard the rumors but you know how they are. i didnât want to take it seriously until i saw it with my own eyes.â you stated and she nodded.Â
âyeah heâs a transfer i think but iâm not too sure. his name is cedric diggory though.â after her reply, you glanced around the stands to see if anybody had diggory signs for the game but with no avail you sighed. before you could respond you felt a few droplets on your shoulder.Â
your friend gave you a smart-ass grin and popped out the umbrella to hold it over the both of you. âguess weâll see how good he is.â you mumbled before seeing the players come up to the playing area with their brooms.
butterbeer was pretty popular during the winter season. many students from school usually went and got some to help regulate their body temperature and keep warm.
everybody else must have gotten the same memo because you were inside the three broomsticks now for some butterbeer and it was crowded.
almost every table was filled with peers and thatâs probably why you didnât see many people in the school. with just one glance around the area, you could already tell the divided areaâs of where each school was seated right away.Â
your tables were to the left area, the slytherins must have come earlier because they grabbed the back ones, some of the ravenclawâs were off to the right, while harry and the other gryffindorâs had the middle area.
cedric nudged your side to grab your attention and nodded towards the hufflepuff area. âwant to grab us some seats and iâll get the drinks?â he asked and you nodded. âsure, could you get me a snack too if you donât mind?âÂ
he smiled and tucked his hands into the pockets of his jeans. âi suppose i could.â cedric walked away with a wink and you shook your head knowing he was just humoring you.
little did you know he already had planned to get you something else even before the two of you left the dorms. it had gotten to the point where asking him for little things hadnât bothered you because you reciprocated all of the time.
but sometimes cedric would give you little excuses when it was your turn to pay, just so he could end up paying for whatever you guys were having or getting. he always spoiled you.
"ah the golden girl is here." hermione scoffed and watched you walk towards the hufflepuff area. your other best friend was seated already and started talking to you when you sat.
the brunette from the red colored house didn't particularly dislike you since you were always nice. sometimes you chatted with her while working on a project that you were paired for. then other times you gave her a soft smile when catching her eye while walking in the halls towards your next class.
she definitely couldnât help but respect and admire you.
but the reason she didnât put herself out there and try to befriend you was because you were one of the girls known in school for your smartness, quick reflexes, and witty attitude.Â
when people from school talked about you and referred to you as the golden girl instead of your name most of the timeâit wasnât that you were golden per-say but the fact that it matched up perfectly with the schoolâs color that you sorted it.
hufflepuff was known for its represented yellow color.
and thereâs no doubt about it that hermione was also known around the school. but, she felt it was for all of the wrong reasons. despite not having it any other way as one of harry's best friends, she wondered if not for him that in an alternate lifetime that she would be you.Â
âwhy is she wearing cedrics jacket?â ron asked after following hermioneâs stare. harry thumped him on the back of his head and then shook his own. âwhy does it matter?â the one with a thunderbolt on his forehead replied.
âwell it is interesting, isnât it?â the brunette said in defense of ronâs question. the one who didnât seem curious at all took a sip of the butterbeer in front of him.
he licked his lips, thinking then replied to them with a response. âi mean itâs not our business but it is an odd find now that you pointed it out. maybe heâs just being friendly?â
âas if! cedric has had a crush on y/n since he met her. sheâs just oblivious to it all,â she paused and tapped her chin. ââor is she?â ron gasped at her accusation but took a sip of his own drink before she could hear his outburst.
harry noticed her getting riled up once again and sighed. âwell i donât know what else to say. maybe you should just introduce yourself already and ask her instead of me.â he shrugged and hoped to end the conversation there.
you knew exactly who cedric diggory was when he swiftly passed by the hufflepuff area during the game. of course, he was wearing yellow.Â
the game has been going on for a decent amount of time now and he was stacking up the scores on the quidditch boardâeasily passing by the score of the gryffindorâs team.
cedric was undoubtedly the new eye candy for the whole school with the gasps and âawesâ from the other girls sitting in the stand. your friend was so busy watching harry that she didnât catch the commotion.
you didnât really pay attention to him to get a good glance at his face so, you thought he was just another arrogant rich boy and rolled your eyes.
what you didnât notice was the way it was like a slow-motion love at first sight situation for him when he went by. since it stopped raining through the middle of the game he was able to catch a quick view of you.Â
the week wasnât done yet so it was possible heâd be seeing more of you in another class he hadnât had yet. and cedric hoped you were because he couldnât help but look over in your direction throughout the game to catch another glimpse of your face.
it was still humid outside and you tried wiping your makeup a few minutes ago since it was under your eyes now, but you only smudged it further. your robe was drenched with your wavy and half-dried hair now lying down the back of it.Â
but he didnât care what you thought about yourself because he knew without a doubt that you were the prettiest girl there.
âcedricâs looking pretty good today.â y/g/b/f voiced for the first time today. you played with the napkin in your hand while trying to get a glimpse of cedric.Â
âi donât think you would know even if he wasâsince you spend all your time looking at harry.â cedric was up to the counter now waiting for your butterbeer and food.
âuh huh. donât think i havenât admired cedric before from afar though.â after a moment of not answering her, y/g/b/f noticed that you werenât paying attention. you knew exactly what she was hinting towards.
cedric did look good.
his hair had that âjust woken upâ style to it and he always managed to look even more attractive then he should have. the yellow scarf wrapped around his neck was the one that came with every hufflepuffâs supplied uniform clothing.
he usually wore it when you sat with him in potions on a chilly morning and you caught yourself wanting to take it off of him and wear it sometimes.
he always smelled good and it comforted you in ways a best friend shouldnât have the ability to.
you seemed to have let your guard down and stared longer then you should have which confirmed what y/g/b/f already knew. âi knew it!â she chuckled and stated more loudly than the last comment to snap you out of the zoned out state you were in.Â
âknow what?â you asked while placing the napkin back down on your table.
cedric was reaching the table and you wanted the conversation to end quickly. you usually dragged out conversation topics like this so you had time to think of another one to distract her with. but, she always found a way to circle it back around again.Â
you had to shut it down before he could hear, already knowing exactly what she wanted to talk about again.
âiâll tell you later before our curfew.â y/g/b/f smirked and you sighed knowing she would in fact take the time out of her night to find you before bed. lucky you.
âhey y/g/b/f. how has your day been?â he asked your other friend while sitting down and placing your refreshments in front of you and then doing the same with his.Â
she grinned at you then glanced over at him, âpretty good i guess if it wasnât for this weather i would say great. how about you? and howâd you manage to get this one out?â she gestured towards you, causing you to roll your eyes.Â
here we go again.
you were walking down the path back to the hogwarts dorms with y/g/b/f and some others. there was going to be a small celebration in the hufflepuffâs common room and other students were trying to hurry back without raising suspicions with any professors nearby.
âhey, iâll be right back y/n/n. i see luna and iâm going to go ask her if she has a hair tie.â she said and pointed to the curly knots that she had on her shoulders.
you nodded and continued along the path while she walked over to the other side. it was quiet for a moment and you surveyed the peaceful area, a few feet over in the grass was a small patch of flowers.
you were about to take a quick look at them before feeling someone tap your shoulder. it was sudden and you couldnât help but quickly move to the side and form a fist. you were about to throw it but stopped when you stared wide-eyed at the person who scared you.
cedric felt awful and only after he startled you did he realize that you were looking off in the distance of the area. the way you jumped though seemed that you were quick on your feet and he couldnât help but smirk at the new name he had for you.Â
âhey iâm sorry for startling you wildflower but i just wanted to introduce myself. iâm cedric diggory.â he introduced with a panty-dropping smile.
you werenât sure if it was some kind of joke so you treaded carefully. âuh itâs okay, itâs my fault really for not paying attention but iâm y/n y/l/n. nice to meet you ced.â
cedric held out his hand for you to shake and you took it, giving him a firm shake. after you let go he smirked and questioned. âced, huh?â
he crouched down to pick up a flower that you were looking at earlier and it reminded you to ask, âwildflower, huh?â you met his statement equally and folded your arms together so they were across your chest to look more tough.
his cheeks tinted a minor shade of pink and tried to hide his embarrassment by ducking down and ignoring your question. instead he glanced back up to tuck a hair behind your ear and then placed the flower there.
âyes, wildflower.âÂ
and how could you argue with him when he was being so sweet?
the two of you made it back to the common room after an hour of eating, then chatting with cedric and your other best friend. he was sitting on the bed with you sitting next to him.
youâve been sitting for only about a minute or soâonly enough time to shrug off your jackets and place them on the desk chair between that time after walking back to his dorm.
âwould you like to lay down for a few minutes?â cedric asked when he noticed the tiredness shown clear as day on your face.
âsureâ you agreed and you laid down while he shook your blanket out for the two of you to use. his eyebrows scrunched together when he realized it wouldnât make much of a difference in comfort with how small it was.
you chuckled watching him trying to maneuver it around and he glanced your way with a smirk of defeat. âhmm, seems this blanket is a little small. would you like to go under the covers?â
cedric was giving into what you wanted earlier before the two of you left and he knew that too. the three broomsticks' food was delicious as always and you just wanted to relax for a few minutes after getting teased by your friend.
he grinned watching you get comfortable after the both of you were situated under the sheets and yellow comforter. there was a hufflepuff patch ironed onto it and you rubbed your thumb over it while laying down.
it wasnât that awkward since youâve fallen asleep in his arms a couple of times before already. class exams were frustrating and took a lot out of the students so he took comfort in you and vice versa when there was some down time during the weekends throughout the school year.
with an arm around youâhe pulled you close to the point where you could feel his warm breath along your neck. âi donât think you realize how much i treasure these moments y/n/n.â
he spoke breathlessly and you gulped slowly. you were dumbfounded with how seriously he said that. as if it had some kind of hidden meaning behind it. âme too.â you agreed and wondered if he would leave it at that.
but you knew better and cedric never left well alone when he wanted to get a point across. he turned your body slowly with the arm he had around your middle and you faced him with confusion.
he glanced down once before looking back up and continued on with his confession while staring into your doe eyesâa color he deemed his favorite the day that he met you.
âiâve been fighting myself for a while on whether or not i should tell you this because i didnât want my feelings to ruin our friendship. iâd rather be your friend than not be a part of your life at all. and i always look forward to seeing you e-everyday.â he paused when his voice cracked.
after cedric cleared his throat he continued, âand i totally understand if you donât share the same feelings with me but i just couldnât go on another day without telling you how iââ you cut him off by leaning in and brushing your lips against his.
he moved closer on the bed, so his skin was touching yours. cedric wanted to get as close to you as he possibly could. your hand swept through his brunette curls and you surprised him by tugging it.
he never knew what you were going to do and his friends teased him that you were a wildcard, to which heâd correct them and say you were his wildflower.
cedric smirked into the kiss and you groaned knowing he was being a smart-ass. but in return, he shocked you when he placed a hand delicately on your cheek to cup it rather softly.
he rubbed your cheek while your hand massaged his curls and then moved them downwards to the nape of his neck.
cedric pushed the hair back from your neck with his hand and then placed it back so his thumb splayed across on your cheek in a loving gesture. and you only wanted him closer after feeling sensitive about the whole astonishment that still had you stunned to the core.
you tugged the collar of his shirt and he pulled away with puffy, red lips and a smile. âwhatâs wrong?â
âi donât know, iâm just emotional.â you voiced squeakily and full of embarrassment about it. cedric shook his head and before patting his chest, he held up the comforter over the both of you and let the minimal cold air in.
âoh, baby itâs okay. come here and let's cuddle a little before curfew.â
you bit the bottom of your lip and nodded, giving him a smile in return to the one he gave you and then crawled onto him. âi think i like baby better.â you voiced and laid on his chest with your head over his heartbeat.
he let go of the comforter when he noticed you were settled and tugged it firmly around both of your bodies. âbetter then what?â he asked.
âwildflower.â you admitted and hummed nervously while awaiting his response. you felt cedric shake his head and he put his arms around your body so you were pressed firmly against him before he kissed your forehead.
âyouâll always be my wildflower.â you closed your eyes after giving him a quick kiss on the cheek in response.
after a moment of laying back down you could feel his chest rising up and down in an odd pattern so, you put your head up to see him laughing again at you.
âwhat now?â you questioned trying to keep a serious facial expression but failing when he grinned.
âguess you got what you wanted, hmm?â cedric saidâreferring to the fact that you were finally under the comforters and you smirked.
âof course i always do. including finally getting you, ced.â

still on that saiki k brainrot so hear me out-
metori, saiki, teruhashi, aren and hairo with an s/o who really loves to bake/cook-
no thoughts just Reader learning how to make coffee jelly for saiki (like maybe they make him a tower of coffee jelly for an anniversary or his birthday-). no thoughts just Reader cooking something for metori who pretends to not want to eat it cause itâs âpeasant foodâ but ends up really enjoying their cooking. no thoughts just cooking/baking date with teruhashi. no thoughts just teaching aren how to cook/bake and having a food trade with him, bringing him lunch/a snack to school. and no thoughts just hairo hyping Reader up while they cook/bake and making stuff for him to bring to class rep meetings-
thank you! <3
the excitement I got got I saw teruhasi- i don't see a lot of writing for her and I get happy when I get to do less than common things! Thanks!
I'm running low on creative juices, so please I hope you don't mind if I use the exact scenarios you suggested đ
Note: some of the things I wrote felt really rude so please don't mind the tone tags in parentheses, also i have not edited this yet
Saiki, Teruhasi, Hairo, Aren, and Saiko with an S/O who can cook/bake
âĄromanticâĄ
Saiki Kusuo (italics = saiki telepathy)
Although it was undeniably tasty, your boyfriend's obsession with coffee jelly was not only getting out of hand but also quite expensive-
I mean he spent 3,000 yen for one serving-
But yanno what it's ok, coffee jelly is easy to make, and this gives you an excuse to hang out (not that you need one)
"Ok Ku, i had an idea"
I like it, just make sure you teach me how to do it too
"Rude. I wasn't finished"
You did in your head
As endearing as it could be sometimes, Saiki's mind-reading could be a pain occasionally
You wound me.
"Good. (/j)"
After a long debate over recipes and serving sizes, there it was, in all its glory, your first batches of coffee jelly
it was heaven
You did end up sharing the recipe with him, but it still became a little tradition to make the coffee jelly together
It just tastes better that way :)
Kokomi Teruhashi
In the midst of your TV and cuddles date, Kokomi huffed and turned off the TV
But of course it was rude to just turn off the TV, so she offered to play a board game instead
You did play with her, but your curiosity was begging as to why she wanted to change the activity
"Hey Kokomi, this game is fun, don't worry... but why'd you turn off the TV so suddenly?"
"Oh, it was nothing! I just thought you would like this game, and I wanted you to enjoy yourself more!"
Now, that's the answer the most perfect girl in the world would give
But Kokomi is still human, there's gotta be something wrong
You spent a while thinking to yourself about what you were watching, you two agreed on a documentary, then after the documentary, the channel played a cooking show with a guest baker/cook Makoto Teruhashi- oh.
So that was it
At the end of the round, you stood up and offered your hand to pull up Kokomi with you.
"Hey, wanna make a bet?"
She looked up with a bit of curiosity.
"I bet you, I can make your favorite dish, far better than Makoto can"
She smiled a bit, "sure!"
Her favorite food was simple, so you taught her to cook it and added in some other things just for fun (and so she can't recreate it without your secret ingredients)
Now you guys have cooking dates often and always find ways to spice up foods (and beat Makoto at whatever he was doing on tv)
Hairo Kineshi
my thoughts and prayers go to you
we all saw what happened when he tried to make crepes
but in his mind, it was a learning opportunity
You guys were taking an after-school stroll, the weather was really nice, it would be a shame if you two just went home and did nothing. Walks like these tend to get sentimental and nostalgic, so your conversation subconsciously started to drift towards school life.
"And do you remember that time we had to get kuboyasu, kaido, and nendo to play on a baseball team? Oh my god thank god it didn't go too poorly, that one player really pulled through at the end..." you laughed out
"Haha I do remember that, I can't believe we got them to play, it really could've gone worse" He smiled as he remembered that day, but then his eyes drifted up to a bakery across the road. "Speaking of poor experiences..."
after he explained to you he and kaido's crepe disaster, you couldn't help but tease fun at him for a bit
but you did agree to teach him more about cooking and baking
he's a bit too passionate about cracking eggs, but hey, at least you can work faster
after many, many burnt crepes and pans, there it was, a fallen appart, incorrectly folded, but still a properly cooked crepe sat there in all its beauty
it kinda looked like this
Although he does learn many different things with you, crepes will be the thing he makes over and over again, even when he has it down to a science, just because it's the first thing you taught him, and he will keep that sweet memory forever (get it. sweet? Cause crepes? Im funny i swear.)
Aren Kuboyasu
He actually knows how to cook pretty well
He's not really sure when he picked up cooking, its kinda just stuck around, but he enjoys it, it makes him seem more goody
and he can treat you :)
I will die on my "aren lives for the most basic/domestic activities hill"
cooking with him is always an experience, he will play music in the background, and pull you aside to dance at random times
also does that really hot thing where he stands behind you, reaches around to hold your hands, and basically has you in a cage while showing you how to do something
it's one of those spontaneous things to do, if there's nothing else to do, might as well make something to eat
firm believer in "if you have to eat to live, you might as well eat delicious foods" so he will always try out new things with you if its healthy and tasty
"bab look at this show" you called out from where you were sitting, there was a cooking show/food documentary on, and it was showing a special food. "it says this chicken has a secret sauce they dip it in"
he walked over to the tv and watched it for a couple seconds, thinking a bit.
"...wanna figure it out?"
"yes. I'll make the chicken if you figure out the sauce?"
"deal."
will you ever know if you got the secret sause? Nope, but you did figure out a chicken recipe that is good as hell
he probably writes down all the recipes you "invented" together for safekeeping and so he can return to it later, but he refuses to show it to anyone
Saiko Metori
as much as I love him, we all saw in that one episode how picky he is while eating, and is probably a bitch to please while cooking/baking
so after a lot of convincing, you got him to sit in the kitchen with you so he can watch you bake for the two of you
in reality, all you have to do is give the dish a fancy rich-sounding name, you just have to be really careful with what you say
like this đ
you decided to bake for him today, baking is a lot more "by the book" than cooking, so you thought he would take a bit of comfort in knowing it was done in a professional way
"alright tori, so I think I'll make a heavy pastry made with fine cacao and extracts, baked into a rich dessert for a fine sweet palette"
"you're making brownies aren't you"
"đ§ââïž"
Told you, you have to be as specific as possible
He does eventually get interested in what you're doing though, as he never really sees his personal chef cook, and wants to help you by the end
He really did enjoy it! It quickly became one of his favorite treats
But funny enough, no matter how many bakeries he tried or how many times his chef tried, they never tasted the same
(you put in special spices as your own little mark on the treat)
so he ends up having you over for more cooking dates
Which he really does enjoy btw
as a tsundere he will look all annoyed and probably call you a plebe, but these are his favorite types of dates
