#What size am I? Beats me. In this top I'm a small. In those pants I'm a medium.

[emberwritesinsight]

I know we as a society have about a hundred million bigger fish to fry right now but I hope at some point within my lifetime we get around to fixing the absolute hellscape that is the women's clothes sizing system

The mad laughter rung out into the night sky as the purple Lamborghini hit corners with violently sharp turns. "Oh puddin I just love family night!~" The pale platinum blonde giggled as the man with green dyed hair licked his smiling lips. A bubble of laughter came from the back seat he turned around to see his princess looking out the small back window. "Batsy batsy batsy" Her low/high pitched giggle caused a crazy chain reaction as the bat mobile hurried to catch up. "Always ruining our fun,huh,princess?" The clown king shifted his gray-ish blue order into the mirror grinning making the scars on his face raise into a sinister smile at the look of pure chaos in his daughter's e/c eyes. "Not tonight! Not on my birthday!!" She said as she smiled reaching under the seat to pull out a Tommy gun. Climbing to the front seat sitting on her mothers lap she leaned out the passenger window. "Go back to the Rat cave your not gonna put a downer on my weekend!" Y/n yelled shooting off round towards the tires,windshield,and headlights.

The mobile didn't seem to have a scratch as as a motorcycle pulled up beside it. Slipping back in the car the younger women pouted looking at get parents. "He called his little birdie no doubt the replacements in the car." Y/n huffed as she dug around for more fire power. "Puddin we have a visitor.~" The red mask gazed at us as he lifted a forearm pistol. Shots were fired and Joker took a hard right almost like tron the motorcycle quickly turned into a ally to avoid being hit. "Sorry Princess might have to cut tonight shot." He said licking his lips as a thump came from the roof making the youngest clown snarl her eye crazed as she shot above her as the purple car swerved wildly. "YOU'RE RUINING MY BIRTHDAY,BATS!!!" Y/n cackled madly a mixture of her parents laughed till the magazine ran out.

They got to one of their warehouses where Jokers men were armed to the teeth. The clown mask had black soulless eyes and immediately fired the moment the batmobile entered. Y/n skipped out of the purple Lamborghini she got on her tippy toes and kissed her dad on the cheek. "I got the hooded punk. Can you clip the bats wings for me...a little present?!" He laughed as he armed himself with a shotgun. "Anything for my princess." The f/c sf/c female clown skipped away knowing that the motorcycle riding vigilante was hot on her tail. That's how she found herself on the roof tops jumping the gaps as heavy footfalls followed. Her loud laugh echoed as she leaped to a smaller building hiding behind a vent the moment the brown leather jacket came into view she tackled the tall man. They were both panting as a grin pulled on the clowns lips.

Y/n POV

"Caught ya,Jay bird." I giggled pulling of the helmet his apple green eyes covered by a second mask stared at me he chuckled as his hand slipped above his head in mock surrender. "Yeah you caught me,beautiful." Leaning down I kiss him my hands pushed into his cheeks my thumb running over the scarred J. We've been dating for awhile now ever since dad kidnapped the second Robin at seventeen. I was fifteen at the time and dad had me at his side as he tortured him.I was always there to stitched him up and put burn cream after shock therapy I didn't know how we got attached maybe because he wanted to rebel a little by talking to me or someone around his age saw the same if not worse shit.

Six years ago(Y/n 15 Jason 17)

"Why are you helping me?" Looking up his head was strapped down along with his arms and legs. I shrugged my shoulders I knew who he was if I wiped off the make up and temp dyed my hair I was the honor student in the same class as him. Jason Todd anyone with eyes had a thing for him,but after removing his mask it wasn't hard to piece together who the bat fam is. "I know what my dad has planned for you Jay. This is just a band-aid on a gunshot wound and might I say that's very unhelpful." This was the first I spoke to him and it wasn't long before Dad beat him to death.

Two years later.

I sat in the back of the car as Frost drove. We just left the cemetery. "Why are we doing this,n/n." He asked looking in the rear view mirror at me. I'm seventeen now my thoughts screamed at me. Why was I trying to bring him back? "Because I crazy that why!" I giggled as we grew closer to the lazapit. He was dressed in a black suit with red tie his body sunk into the water as I waited. A loud gasp drew my attention as he shot up a white streak in his hair. "Heya sleeping beauty." Looking over in shock he lowly made his way looking like a baby deer. "I'm alive,but h-how?" His green eyes looked at me. "A Ghoul owed me a few favors I just asked to use his fountain of youth." Handing him a towel and some clothes. "Sorry about the outfit,but Arkham does have one size fits all." Jason chuckled as he started to dry off.I realized why I brought him back. I was crazy about him.

Two more years later(two years ago)

Jason wanted to stay dead he didn't go back to His dad and brother after he realized that neither of them tried and save him. It was sad to see,but it brought Jason closer to me and he started to trust me and I gave trust in return. Blood coated my hands while some was on my face. Looking at Jay some was speckled on his cheeks taking the pockets square out of the mobsters coat I wiped it off he looked down at me his arm slipped around my waist pulling me closer my breath hicked. "Will you be my girlfriend,my little jester?" A large smile grew on my face as my arms went around his neck pulling him down further. "Gladly,Jay bird." I kissed him not caring if my lipstick stained his lips and he didn't seem to care either as the kiss grew more intense. We shared our first kiss at nineteen surrounded by dead bodies as sirens and the unmistakable sound of the armed batmobile. At least he's as crazy about me as I am about him.

One year ago. (Jason POV for a sec)

I came to Bruce I hate to admit it but I needed advice about the one think he knew best. Women. It was just a couple of months ago he found out I was alive and shocker he managed to drive Dicky boy to Blüdhaven to get away from him to get his own image and not just Robin. Oh and surprise surprise when out of robins he had a spare like a tire and it's name was Tim. Nevermind that I stood across from Bruce in his home main office he had a frown on his face. "You're dating someone and its serious and I didn't know about it?" He asked trying to deduct everything. "I've been dating her ever since I came back. As strange as it might sound,but I want us to be something more." That's when the billionaire playboy stood up standing just a inch shorter then myself.

"Life is short Jason and you've experienced that first hand if you feel that both of you are perfect enough to be more then go for it." Perfect wasn't realistic nothing was ever perfect my life isn't perfect her life sure as hell isn't she's the clown princess I'm a bat son. Maybe that what makes us so good together the fact that it would have never really happened any other way life is just crazy like that.

Present

Staring into those vexing green eyes always brought me back. We're both twenty-one him being older only by a couple of months. "Happy birthday,gorgeous." His voice brought me back as my smile grew. We were standing up now he held a box wrapped in my two favorite colors. "Awe you shouldn't have." I grab it and opened it a gun was inside it was red and gold revolver it looked like my moms love/hate gun,but it said King/Queen. Looking at Jay I reached to hug him when suddenly he dropped to one knee pulling out a box with a beautiful f/c ring and ruby gem. "This feels over due. You took care of me when I was considered enemy number one. You brought me back from the grave when my own family didn't try. And this might sound stupid,but I had a crush on you in middle school you were one of the only people that didn't give me pity after Bruce adopted a street kid." He licked his lips as he gave of a small smile. "Together we are far from perfect, but we are good. You complete me...Y/n M/n Napier become my queen?" My eyes glossed over with tears my make up running down the pale foundation. "Oh my god of course!!!" I jumped into his arms hugging him tightly before letting him slip on the ring. "I love you." "I love you more crazy." I chuckle it sounded watery in my throat. "If I'm crazy then that makes two of us. You wanted to marry me." Yep we're both batshit crazy.

Be mine - Immersive Weekend #2

Okay, first of all, I would like to say that I got a lil bit confused about the "dating" word. I did some researches because, as you all know, I'm a Portuguese native speaker who has English as a second language. I'm sorry if this request is not what you are expecting ç_ç I did my best on it. I can't avoid language issues. You can request another one if you didn't like this.

+18 ONLY Reader’s name: Anne Word count: 1.755 Pairings: Hungarian!Chubby!Reader x Bucky Contain: Tons of fluff <3; Smutty Warnings: English is not my main language <3; Inappropriate language MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE MASTERLIST

You used to take a few photos from Central Park itself and couples. This last one gives you an amount of money and helps you to share your photography studio. Bucky met you one of those days, and you were taking a few photos from the park. You were so charming, especially your size. Bucky would love to hold your shorty form in his arms.

But when his therapist recommended Bucky to talk with you, things began to evolve.

You were an amazing woman. He loves the artistic persona of you and how kind you are. You were such a precious help for him while he tries to let all things about Winter Soldier in his past. And, of course, it didn't take too long for Bucky to feel attracted to you. After all, your confidence and accent were pretty seductive for him. You achieved the deed to got him to blush once when you were flirting with him.

But things have been changing lately.

Bucky has been so busy with Sam and the missions that your dates were constantly interrupted by an emergency. It completes gets you annoyed, but you were trying to be understanding. Then, one day, both of you just thought that yeah, maybe it would be better if you guys just spend time together. It could be at his apartment or yours.

But he needs to try a date night one more time, with no interruptions. Just you and him.

Bucky took you to a surprise date. He covers your eyes, and you could take it off just when both of you arrive at your destiny. The sky was full of stars, and the waterfall gives the romantic mood you need. Near the banks of the waterfall, there was a van. Its interior was all padded with pillows and blankets and entirely decorated with lights.

You gaped slightly with all of that, and your heart almost melted inside your chest. Then, Bucky holds your hand and looks at you.

"I thought that I should do something special to you. Our dates always get ruined by something, but this time it will be different."

"This is so beautiful..." You said, with the air in your lungs fading away. Your heart was racing, and you look at him with a smile on your face. "I can't believe this!"

Bucky looks at you smiling, and he walks to his car again, putting a song on it. Then, he approaches you and reaches out to you.

"Would you give me the honor of a dance with me?"

You felt your face burning.

"Of course."

He took your hand and pulls you close to his body, and then you and he was dancing slowly under the stars glancing at each other. All of that was being so perfect! His hands were resting on your waistline, your hands onto his chest... Bucky can't stop looking at each detail of you. Your curly hair, your eyes... He loves the shape of your lips. That certainly is the part of your body that drives him crazy! The way you moves them... Bucky could spend the entire day just looking at your moving lips.

He could spend his entire day looking at your ass too. However, Bucky doesn't think he could talk it with you. Not right now. He even hasn't touched you the way he wants yet! But maybe he could get it today.

"You're stunning today." He said to you, resting his hand on your face and sliding his thumb on your skin in a gentle caress. "Mainly with your blushed cheeks."

You let out a low chuckle, feeling your cheeks got even redder.

"Am I blushed?"

"Yeah, totally. But don't worry, it's cute."

You look at him, letting out a low chuckle again. Bucky always arouses feelings inside your chest, but this night he was doing it on a completely new level.

You rest your head on his chest, and he put his chin on your head. Now, he was sliding his fingers through your curly hair. You were still dancing slowly, in such an intimate moment. You two had never done it before.

Then, Bucky's voice made presence again.

"Doll... Uh, I mean, Anne..." Bucky clears his throat, anxious. You rest your chin on his chest, looking up to him.

"You can call me Doll if you want, Bucky." You said, almost melting for his words. "I don't mind."

He smiles at you, resting his hand on your face and looking at you with such caress in the eyes.

"Okay, Doll. I wanna know if you are hanging out with someone else."

"I'm not. What about you?"

"I'm not either. I mean, I don't need it, and I don't want to. I have you. You're all I want and need."

Oh my Godness. It was pretty hard for you to stand on foot right now. Your legs were shaking in anxiety. He never told things like that for you before.

"You know, I don't need someone else. I just need you."

Bucky gives you a smile and curves himself to kiss you softly and slowly. That was not the first kiss of yours, but without a sign of doubt was a different one. It was like the first time you tasted his lips. So magical. So right. It felt like home to you.

Then, he breaks the kiss. Bucky stays so close to you that you could feel his breath on your face.

"So be mine, Anne." He said with a low and soft voice. Your heart failed a beat. "Let me be yours and be mine. I want you."

You felt anxious, and the words suddenly wipe away from your mind.

"Are you requesting me to be your girlfriend?" You finally said, and a chuckle let out the soldier's lips.

"Yeah, I am."

"Okay. I want it. I'm yours."

With his heart warm in pure love, Bucky kisses you again, slowly and so caring. When he breaks the kiss, this time, he took your hand and guides you to the van.

"Come here." He said, entering the van and sitting in the blankets. Between the pillows, he took out a small black box. You lay down on the blankets, looking at him when he gives you the box "It's just a gift. You know, to forget every time I needed to leave you alone."

You opened the box and saw a golden and delicate necklace. You let out a sigh, enchanted.

"You didn't have to do it, Bucky. Oh, thank you. It's so beautiful!"

You sat on the blankets, taking the necklace off of the box. Bucky took the jewel and put it on you.

"I'll not let you alone anymore, okay? I promise you."

Bucky gets close to you, and you get stuck into his blue eyes. Then, he rests his hand on your bare leg and kisses you, with his hand sliding up and down on you. He absolutely loves the softness of your skin, so he can't wait to see you giving your body to his wills. The taste of your lips, the smell of yours... It all acts like fuel to him. He just wants to kiss you even more.

Bucky deep the kisses on your lips and his touch on your bare leg puts your body on fire. You are pretty sure he could be considered a drug. You are addicted to him, and you needed more of his lips, his touches.

He lays you down in the blankets of the van without stopping to kissing you. His hand slides up on your leg, going under your dress and reaching your panties. Actually, you and Bucky never did anything related to sex. He was from other times, and he still got some old manners. So, he wanted to touch you just when he get sure you want him the way he wanted you.

Now he gets your answer Bucky can't wait to find out how you react to his touches.

Bucky slides his lips from yours to your neck, kissing you and putting some nibbles on your skin. A wave of pure fire runs through your body, and when he slides his fingers on your pussy over your panties, you let out a long sigh of pleasure. Wanting more of him, you slide down your nails on his abs under his shirt. You reach his pants button, and you open it. When your hand slides to his cock's direction, you felt a smile on his lips.

"Such an impatient girl... I'll take care of your manners later."

You bite your inner lip and looks at him. When your eyes met his blue ones, your body shakes. There was something different on them. They were darker, possessive. Bucky pulls the top of your dress down, exposing your naked breast. Then, he fits himself between your legs on his knees, taking your panties off and spreading your legs. His hands run through the inner part of your legs, and he looks at you. The white color of your face was already redder in lust. The vision of you giving yourself on him droves him crazy.

Bucky curves himself over you, taking one of your nipples with his mouth. Your fingers intertwine in his hair in an incentive to continue, while his fingers trace circles on the most sensitive part of your body. His touches make your veins burn, and you already feel wetter.

But when you let escape a low moan... Damn, it just made his desire for you grow even more. He wants you mad in lust, begging him to continue. He wants to hear you scream his name under the night.

Bucky let out your nipple, and you look at him, dizzy in pleasure. He goes down on your body and kisses the bare skin of the inner part of your leg. His voice was low and darker.

"I'll just put one rule tonight, babe." He said, without stopping to kiss you. His deep eyes were focused on yours while you look at him, putting your body up by your forearms to look at him better. You were a prisoner under his blue eyes. "I want you looking at me all the time." His kisses slide upon you until his mouth reaches your wet pussy, eating you with such a will.

But then, he started to talk again while eats you.

"I want to see how you are when you come."

Yeah, it will be a long and noisy night.

Kids - (poe dameron x fem!reader)

A/N: Heyoooo!! SHE’S BACK! I’m starting back with a quickie;) because I am still getting used to my new home and am not emotionally settled in yet. You know how it is. This one is inspired by Orville Peck’s ‘Kids’. It’s a banger so you should listen to it as well!

If I used your gif, please shoot me a message so I can add your tag! :)

Word count: 900

Warnings: lil angst, I cursed

The voice of Shara Bey filtered through the small sunlit house to reach the two playing toddlers stationed in the living room.

"Poe! Share with Y/N." She scolded her son.

The small black haired boy knocked his toy X-Wing against his friend's forehead, giving her a swollen welt the size of a Whisperbird egg.

She cried out and clutched her head, dropping her grip on Poe's toy.

The small boy waddled off hurriedly in the direction of his room. He was halfway to his door when a strong hand wrapped onto his shirt and yanked him backwards.

"Poe Dameron you apologize right now!" Shara exclaimed, her voice sterner than the small boy had ever heard it before.

Poe whimpered in his mother's strong grasp.

She pulled him into the crook of one elbow, carrying him like a football, back towards the screaming Y/N.

Shara's husband, Kes Dameron, entered the living room from his workshop, his hands covered with mechanical grease. "Shara, what's...?" His words trailed off as he looked over the scene and began to put the pieces together. The man reached down to pick up the squealing girl and cradle her in his arms. He ran a hand over her welt and she yelped in pain.

"Poe, you need to apologize to Y/N." Shara said, her gaze firm on the squirming boy in her arms.

Poe whined for a beat and then said, "But, it's not fair, Mommy! She has a toy and she tried to take mine!"

"Not everything in life is fair, Poe. That doesn't mean you get to be mean, you understand?" One of her dark eyebrows raised.

The small boy sighed and mumbled, "I'm sorry."

"I don't think she can hear you, son." Kes said, nodding to the wailing girl in his arms.

"I'm sorry Y/N." Poe said again, extravagantly emphasizing every word.

"Good. Now, get in your room, mister. You're in time out." Shara said as she dropped him back to the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jolting out of his slumber, Poe Dameron sat up in his bed. He ran a hand through his thick black hair and over his stubble-ridden face.

His dream began to dissipate from his mind and the day in front of him began to materialize.

'Have to go to briefing in 20 minutes, need to double check the hyperdrive on Black One before the mission this afternoon, should probably shower-' His to-do list for the day was interrupted by the jingle of an incoming call on his holomessager.

Poe leaned over in bed and took the singing device from his nightstand. His eyes scanned over the Aurebesh on the device, denoting who his call was from.

"Y/N!" Poe said, the excitement in his voice causing it to warble. The man flipped the blanket and sheets off his bed and hurried to his closet, pulling the first pair of pants he could find. He snapped them on and then clicked the answer key on his holomessager.

Your face shone brightly on the screen in front of him, your mouth pulled back in a smile and the small scar Poe gave you on your forehead. "Dameron! How's my favorite Resistance member?"

Poe smiled and rubbed his palm across the back of his neck. "Hey, Y/N. It's good to hear from you."

You sighed and shifted your hips. "Yeah, sorry it took so long to get back to you, we had to move our Base out of Bagano. First Order troops crash landed here and some of them survived to call for a rescue transport, which-"

"Brought even more First Order troops to your secret Base." The Commander nodded in understanding.

"Right." You replied, your bottom lip in your mouth.

Poe chuckled. "I can't believe neither one of us have died yet."

You laughed. "I can't believe it either. With all the shit both of us have been through."

"Remember our first flying lesson? Without BB-8, we wouldn't have made it out of that one." The pilot shook his head in wonder.

"BB-8 is the only reason either of us are alive, I'm pretty sure."

Poe snickered and grabbed a shirt from his closet and pulled it on.

"Poe?" You asked, your voice suddenly quiet.

"Hmm?" He responded.

"Promise you'll keep calling me until one of us dies?"

The Commander's eyebrows scrunched. "Y/N, of course. I thought that was the deal."

"Good...." You bit your lip, vying to keep your heart from spilling down your lips. "You're like the only thing that keeps me sane in this war."

Poe nodded and looked down at his bare feet. "I feel the same way about you."

"I wish we could-" Your chest tightened.

"Me too." He interrupted. "I thought that I was dreaming. The first time you kissed me." Poe's voice clipped towards the end of his sentiment. His face drew back in shock at his confession.

"Poe..." You shook your head.

The man on the other side of your holomessager kept up his momentum, "But, I know this isn't the academy anymore; I know that."

You nodded your head, "We can't go back to being those kids again, Dameron."

"Maybe we don't have to be those kids again, maybe we can just be us. Together."

The backs of your eyes pricked hot with emotion. You swallowed, "We have to make it out of this thing alive first."

Poe nodded his head and took his top lip into his mouth. "Yeah."

"Just keep calling me, Dameron." You whispered.

"I will. I still really, really love you." He smiled, the sides of his eyes pained with the distance between the two of you.

You smiled gently back. "I still really, really, love you too."

lowkey nearly bump into each other but he chucks the cookies at her before there's a #moment] Janis: [just nom-ing like there isn't a vibe, as per 'was saving their room 'til last, bet there's loads of rich girl shit'] Jimmy: [brushing a cookie crumb off her face with his thumb and then putting said thumb in his mouth to get said crumb 'gotta show me Ben's first'] Janis: [just stopping dead in your tracks for a hot sec there like you were stopping yourself running into his arm but that ain't why, nods 'he deserves it'] Jimmy: [we just walking so casually to this lad's room to fuck up his relationship lol] Janis: [soz not soz, whoever you are] Jimmy: [go and do #bragate and look through his shit lads] Janis: [the state these rooms gonna lowkey be in, so much worse than before] Jimmy: [I vote he should have some booze of some description so they have it when they go to Mia's room cos gonna be in there a while] Janis: [I concur] Jimmy: [when you shrug at her once you're done like anywhere we've missed cos should save hers til last] Janis: [points out the rooms she did so they can work out if they've missed any between 'em] Jimmy: [likewise tells her the ones he did and maybe they have missed one and there's nothing good but they can have an actual race to Mia's that she obviously wins] Janis: [😏 as we snooping with reckless abandon] Jimmy: [chucks some 🍬s at her with gold wrappers in place of a 🥇] Janis: ['you're buzzing to lose, remember' looks at the beds pointedly, then carries on going through their bags] Jimmy: [lights a 🚬 because fuck you ladies] Janis: ['what about me?' so #offended] Jimmy: [gives her a look like I didn't think you'd want one cos you're such an athlete but comes over and lights one for her, putting it in her mouth and everything cos always gotta be flirty about it] Janis: ['one ain't gonna get me as fucked as you, cute though, concern and that'] Jimmy: [makes a moment™ out of putting some of the ones they found into her pocket as well as his lighter that she was playing with before, not just a random spare and goes to lie down on the bottom bunk for a bit] Janis: [just leaves him be for a while, keeping busy over here, all casual, all fine, eventually, 'if you're going sleep, do your best to look cute so I can take some creepshots 'fore I piss off'] Jimmy: [just having his lil sulk cos he lost 'weren't the plan, that' and pats the bed beside him in his best attempt at creepy but then starts putting out all the shit he found to look through it] Janis: [best 😬 but goes over and adds her haul] Jimmy: [cracks open the booze whatever it is and takes a massive swig before passing it to her] Janis: [doing the same, throwing those two tablets out on the bed, like, offer is there 'she must be fucked up' shrugs 'decent shit'] Jimmy: [sharing everything else out like actual couple goals but leaving them cos he ain't that bitch] Janis: [when you ain't either so that's a #relief tbh] Jimmy: [lifts the pillow and puts them under cos that gal is gonna notice her meds are gone so might as well try and frame these bitches] Janis: [so into that it's not even funny lol] Jimmy: [then nudges her like which bed do you think is Mia's cos that's the one you wanna fake fuck on if you're doing only one] Janis: ['how's either of them getting up there, honestly' put gets up and peers for clues 'think this is Ella's, the PJs are negative sized, Mia wishes'] Jimmy: ['she wishes she were a top an' all'] Janis: ['so you are gay then' 😏] Jimmy: [😏 and chucks loads of 🍬🍫 up onto Ella's bed so either she'll be triggered or Mia will think they're hers and be mad or both] Janis: [gonna say you got some laxatives I'm flushing gals, along with pouring whatever expensive perfume/foundation etc down the loo, at least half of so you can't prove it 'cos it's not empty] Jimmy: [love that] Janis: [you both know you're delaying what you said you'd do though] Jimmy: [I'm literally sitting here thinking if there's a way we could let them actually hook up rn for the sheer #mood of it all without ruining everything lol] Janis: [like you could, and then pretend it didn't happen, maybe?] Jimmy: [that's what I'm thinking like if you both act like you're carried away by getting one over on Mia and drunker than you are, I just think it'd add to the weird dynamic and headfuck of it all if they did] Janis: [it's in character for her so if it is for him, we can] Jimmy: [like we know he wants to and would so as long as they both commit to acting like it didn't happen I think we can get away with it] Janis: [we doing it, gonna have to start talking if you're gonna get there though, lads] Jimmy: [lbr it'd we weirder if they didn't hook up at this point cos they always go too hard for the 'camera' and they don't have sod all clothes on yet again so they're gonna feel EVERYTHING when they're making out and dry humping all over each other, it'd literally only take something like that thing he does where he tries to say words and it comes out as a full moan to tip them over this precarious edge] Janis: [exactly, it only doesn't happen in this scenario if one of you is the type to say no for reasons or you don't actually fancy each other but you clearly do so] Jimmy: [we setting up both phones for all the angles as if you're not gonna forget about that immediately] Janis: ['least bottom bunk makes for #moodlighting, I guess'] Jimmy: ['more of a challenge to for us to break it though' because I remember in the OG convo they lowkey dismantled her bed and they should do that here because funnier] Janis: ['as long as you keep the top from squashing me with your giant head' we deffo should, a mood] Jimmy: [squishes her face like aw baby I will protect you, you small egg] Janis: [goes to smack his but as per, not actually lmao] Jimmy: [little playfight/pillow fight to get this tension going] Janis: [points if you can beat the stuffing out of these pillows] Jimmy: [you gotta lads and also leave your empty booze bottle hidden about in the hopes they get blamed for that too] Janis: [when neither of you are cool enough to party this hard, welcome for the rep boost hoes] Jimmy: [1000% living for the prospect of Mia getting in trouble with her dad though bye] Janis: [hahahahaaaaaha #disappointeddaddy] Jimmy: [that's a pisstaking # they need to use fr] Janis: [speaking of the socials, making sure there's Mia things in the background so you can start taking these shots like they bitch] Jimmy: [not actually stalling that time, it's genuinely important] Janis: [tis why we're here, currently, anyway] Jimmy: [crack on doing the most, you know you gotta go even harder than you did during the last photoshoot purely to annoy these hoes yep] Janis: [the level anything beyond making out/lovebites is unpostable, like do you need all these angles and different poses? nope but here we are] Jimmy: [like even if you just DMed them to her to ruin her ability to sleep in that bed you still don't need to go this hard lads] Janis: [could let her do the legwork lmao, we see you] Jimmy: [I love you two and your flimsy excuses so much] Janis: [hence this is so stretch] Janis: *NO Jimmy: [imagine if he'd fake dated some gal who literally only wanted to do the bare minimum] Janis: [an actual prude or the one girl that didn't fancy him] Jimmy: [he thought Janis didn't for a bit there LOL] Janis: [she got eyes honey] Jimmy: [LORD the eye contact rn don't even] Janis: [looking away when you literally cannot and ruining a shot or something neither of you actually care about but] Jimmy: [and kissing when you also cannot so your eyes get to be closed because you're not psychos] Janis: [literally running out of skin for lovebites] Jimmy: [hence you gotta hardcore make out and once you start you can't stop] Janis: [away we go] Jimmy: [this is simultaneously the best and worst idea lads, love it] Janis: [knocking those phones down 'cos do not need that in your life, even if we pretending this is that spontaneous] Jimmy: [accidentally recording their first time that they are gonna pretend didn't happen is not the one] Janis: [because Rio is your sister, purely, which is why she said no to being in the ad 'cos she thought he was being a dick and everyone else would] Jimmy: [I didn't even think about that in relation to the ad, oh boo you so smart] Janis: [hohaha] Jimmy: [if you two have been shook by how into each other you are, just you wait until after this 🔥 first time] Janis: [have fun downplaying this lmao] Jimmy: [god it's gonna be so awkward, at least we can have a teacher show up to take them to the next activity whenever we need] Janis: [when you can't separate 'cos the image but you can tell you being more distant and actually fake] Jimmy: [the next activity was trust falls and a blindfolded assault course which I think we should still do but we should do it different by saying they aren't allowed to work together for it cos bad eggs which they would hate despite the awks cos they both have trust issues and would be shamelessly jealous of the boy and girl the other is doing it with] Jimmy: [plus it makes more sense for the next bit cos in the OG they just went back on it later when nobody else was about and like he challenged her to do it better cos she was the blindfolded one I think and that's how she twisted her ankle which led to the fake injury but if they weren't allowed to do it together then it's more logical that all that would happen] Janis: [well done boo, fully approve] Jimmy: [yeah she was all like I could do it by myself I don't need you which can still be a thing but there's even more of a vibe this way] Janis: [a mood, lord knows who you're having to do this with first time around] Jimmy: [I think she should have to do it with Ben whoever he is for the lols] Janis: [oh ben, as long as your gf doesn't think it's her bra 'cos lmao] Jimmy: [we should give him Asia since they didn't do that project together this time] Janis: [she will probably drop you god speed] Jimmy: [we should say she does so Janis has to be all #concerned which is awks after what just happened] Janis: [after #caring for him] Janis: memorize that course before you do it Janis: no chance she knows left from right Jimmy: I ain't that thick, tah, I'll make her be the one to do it Janis: revenge, right Jimmy: you're alright, in well safe hands, you Janis: yeah, his girlfriend is neurotic, had practice Jimmy: safe hands til she gets hers on you then Janis: if I have to threaten to smack her too, I will Jimmy: 😍😍😍 Janis: just don't wanna be dropped on my arse like you Jimmy: I get it, ain't gonna be a soft landing Janis: just don't like looking like a twat Jimmy: you'll look well fit and mysterious in that blindfold, mate, TOTALLY on brand Janis: obvious kink but alright Jimmy: long as it ain't Ben's Jimmy: 🐇🔪🍳 Janis: if it is she'll be blind too tryna win back his attention, not concerned Jimmy: 👍 Janis: need some 🧊? Jimmy: can only give me the cold shoulder on your own time, Judith Janis: haha Jimmy: hang in there, baby Jimmy: 😂 so you don't 😭 Janis: be able to hide 'em behind the mask Janis: your 'look' makes sense now Jimmy: Busted Janis: 🤐 Jimmy: you're gonna keep my secret? SO romantic that Jimmy: my trust has been fully restored, like Janis: not very goals Janis: you crying all the time Jimmy: works for sir Jimmy: he's having one now Janis: Ben's very capable and we're all feeling a type of way about it Jimmy: Capable of getting you sent to sick bay in some weird accident they'll use to warn dickheads not to piss about on school trips Jimmy: won't dry my eyes so I look 💔 Janis: I get it, you're feeling sore Janis: 🍑hurt Jimmy: I get it, you're the only one who's allowed to make me feel like that Jimmy: you're alright, I'll fake that I ain't Jimmy: we'll still be #goals Janis: bit late for that Jimmy: 💪🏆 me Janis: not with that braindeadweight Jimmy: Challenge accepted, sweetheart Janis: unless the race is to first aid, you've got no chance Jimmy: that's you Jimmy: but Ill let you wear my 🥇 if you ask nicely Jimmy: 💕 Janis: 🙄 even less chance of that Jimmy: 💔🎻 Janis: poor boy Jimmy: Alright Mia, have you know I found loads of 💰 a bit ago Janis: shared it with me Janis: you ain't heard how the rich stay rich? Jimmy: I ain't afraid to pull my weight Jimmy: or teach you owt you don't know Jimmy: and you still ain't sorted out how to do cute so Janis: fuck off haven't I Jimmy: Have you? Jimmy: Don't count if you're using it on Ben Janis: not my fault they separated us Jimmy: how do you work that out? Janis: don't start again Janis: we both got in trouble that was the point Jimmy: Or what? You'll piss off with Ben to first aid Jimmy: crack on Janis: yeah, obviously Janis: this is stupid, you said you didn't care about getting in trouble, so don't moan at me now Jimmy: you said you didn't either so take your share of the blame, dickhead Jimmy: weren't being 😎🥇 on my own Janis: how am I not?

Janis: can have a 🚽break, can't we Jimmy: long as you do it before so 💀👑 don't get her hopes up that you're joining the ranks Janis: don't need to, do I Janis: why you think she hates me Jimmy: I'm going for a 🚬 then, come find me if you wanna go in Janis: don't you need bed rest Jimmy: bit rude for a come on Jimmy: don't really get me going if you slag off my stamina Janis: it's a, let's not go in, plea, if anything Janis: say what you want for mine, I can't be arsed yet Janis: stressful enough training Ben for the past, however long Jimmy: Alright Jimmy: come have a 🚬 Janis: alright Jimmy: you not hungry?

with me] Jimmy: [shakes his head because he's not and he doesn't wanna fight with her rn but then picks her back up and carries her away before she can potentially pick a fight, only stopping when

Alternatives. (Edgar x Reader *AU I guess*)

Genre: Fluff.

Summary: If plan A doesn't work, there are still 25 letters left.

(Second person point of view)

"I can't believe we're that unlucky!" You groan, watching the heavy rain run down the streets. "First, you had to work late, so we couldn't go out, and now it's raining!"

"I'm sorry." Edgar wraps an arm around you, soothingly rubbing your arm in an attempt to comfort you. "I know it was supposed to be just the two of us celebrating our anniversary, but I was given heaps of work at the last moment."

"It's not your fault." You sigh. It really wasn't; you just couldn't help but feel a little disappointed either way.

A long moment of silence pursued as Edgar stared down at you with guilt. You wanted to assure him that you weren't blaming him for anything, but you didn't have time to do so; he suddenly spoke up. "How about we have our date inside for today? Then tomorrow I can make it up to you."

Your eyes brightened with excitement. "That would be wonderful!" You embrace him tightly, earning a bashful chuckle.

"So, movie night?" He smiles after you let go.

You nod but pause, slumping your shoulders, after a disappointing realization. "We don't have any snacks. Not even popcorn."

"We don't nee-"

"A trip to the supermarket it is, then!" You nod, cutting off his statement and walking off towards your shared closet to pick out an outfit for your late night trip to the supermarket.

"Are we really going to the supermarket at 12 am? In the rain??" Edgar almost pouts. He was probably tired after a long day at work, but he really couldn't say no to that innocent look of excitement on your face.

"My god, it's still pouring!" You shuffle closer to Edgar under the umbrella he was holding for both of you.

"You know it hasn't been longer than 10 minutes since we stopped looking out the window, right? Were you expecting the rain to have stopped?" He laughs in amusement, making you blush lightly.

"Hey, I'm just saying!" You defend, while knowing full well he had a point.

"Sure." He ruffles your hair then begins leading the way to the supermarket, careful not to rush ahead of you and give you a free, unwanted shower in the middle of the street.

As Edgar struggles to close the old umbrella, you marvel at the view in front of you. It's been ages since you've gone to a supermarket at such a late time, so the lack of people and the immense quietness were captivating in a way.

"Look! It says buy two for the price of one!" You tug at Edgar's sleeve, distracting him from reading the contents of some ambiguous canned product.

"Those are just two plastic jugs?" He raises an eyebrow.

"But it's a good offer!" You argue, lifting the colourful containers to his face, as if causing him to cross his eyes by how close the objects are to his face will somehow convince him it's a good deal.

"But we don't need them!" He laughs lightly, pushing them away from his face. "Come on, we haven't even bought the snacks yet; let's go." He places the alien canned food on the shelf and places what you called a wasted good deal on their shelf as well, then proceeds to push the cart towards a different aisle, dragging you along with him to ensure you don't pick up some other good deals.

"Okay, we'll buy popcorn and maybe some other snack, but that's it, okay? No going crazy and buying an entire shipment of some Thai candy you thought looked interesting, okay?" Edgar only notices your disappearance after receiving no response, "(Y/N)? (Y/N), where did you go? Were you even liste- come on." His palm immediately flies to his forehead when he sees you approaching him with a plushie.

"It's so cute!" You hug the small rainbow unicorn closer to you. "It's not even expensive; can I please have it?" You ask, pulling off your best puppy eyes.

Edgar struggles for a few moments before sighing, "Fine."

Letting out an excited mixture of a squeal and a thank you, you run up to your fiancé, placing a quick kiss on his cheek. He embarrassedly touches his cheek, a little startled by the gesture, but it made him momentarily forget about having to pay for the unnecessary toy.

"Now can we go buy the stuff we came here to buy in the first place?" Edgar grabs the cart and pushes it forward while walking, carefully checking the categories written on top of each aisle.

"Here!" You rush in between rows and rows of various types of chips.

"Weren't we buying popcorn?"

You pull two large sized bags of chips and add them to the cart. "If we're having a movie night, we need to do it right!" You lift a fist and display an exaggerated determined expression, receiving a laugh from Edgar as he shakes his head in disbelief.

"I'll leave it up to you then." He seemed to have given up on restricting your choices, and now he's just amused by how many items you can buy apart from what you actually needed to buy.

A few (scratch that; they were certainly more than a few) useless items later, you'd finally gotten the stuff you needed and payed for them.

"Still raining?" Edgar's eyes widen slightly. After all this time, you still can't get used to how adorable that expression is; it was your second favourite expression of his. It looked so innocent and pure, always making your urge to kiss him triple. Alas, you had to keep the desire to yourself for now.

"Yeah, it's strange how it hasn't stopped until now." You muse. You grab the umbrella, since both of Edgar's hands were busy with grocery bags, and attempt to open it.

"Okay, what's wrong with this thing?" Your eyebrows furrow, as you battle with the button on the handle. No matter how hard you push and press, the button wouldn't budge.

Edgar places the grocery bags on the floor. "Let me see?" He takes the umbrella from you and tries to open it himself.

Praying you won't have to swim your way back home, you watch as he fumbles with the ancient umbrella that you honestly don't even remember buying; it seemed to have always just been there.

With a few violent jerks, Edgar opens the umbrella. Or more accurately, Edgar breaks it. The troubled, guilty expression that takes over his features leads you to smile in awe, and as if under some mind control effect, you find yourself automatically pecking his cheek. Your gesture relaxes him, and he smiles at you.

"I guess we'll have to hurry home if we don't want to get too soaked then." Edgar jokes, picking up the grocery bags again after disposing of the now useless umbrella.

"First one home gets to shower first?" Giggling, you take your position, ready to semi-sprint back home. You weren't very fond of the idea of breaking your back bone or something, so you knew you weren't gonna use your full power to run.

"Already too slow!" Edgar sprints past you, sending you into panic mode for a few seconds before you begin running to catch up to the cheater.

"Hey, that's not fair!" You yell, realizing you had no chance of catching up let alone beating him.

Not even looking behind him, Edgar yells back. "You're only saying so because you're losing."

It was true. You'd done that to him so many times that it was only fair for him to take his revenge. But with the rain soaking you and the mud splashing beneath you, you really dreaded not being able to shower first.

"I win." Edgar beams proudly, patting your head once you reach the front door.

Since you were panting, the only response you could give was a glare, which he seemed to find adorable, for he simply chuckled at you and kissed your forehead.

Seeming to be in deep thought, he stares at you for a few moments then places the bags on your porch, away from the rain. He proceeds to take the rest of the plastic bags from your hand and places them next to the ones he'd placed on the porch. Without saying a word, he takes your hand in his and pulls you towards the middle of the empty street.

You let out a little laugh, "Edgar, we're already soaked; what are you-"

Your statement was cut off when he stopped walking, faced you, and gently placed his hands on your cheeks. Eyes shut, he closes the distance between your faces, and you find yourself following his lead. He presses his lips, which were relatively cold, onto yours, but the temperature difference didn't matter, since the gesture was enough to warm your entire body. Your hands grasp at his jacket, yearning for the familiar feeling of your bodies pushed together as one.

The rain wasn't making things easier, and you were sure both of you were to end up with a cold or even a fever, but both of you were already drenched anyway, so you had nothing to lose.

Your eyes flutter open when you both pull away, and you were greeted with the expression you so loved to see. Your favourite expression of his. It was one where his lips were pink and swollen after your shared kiss, one where his cheeks were a deep shade of red, one where he seemed to be blushing but still smug and proud of himself. This was your favourite expression; it was so beautiful to look at. It would've made you kiss him one more time if it weren't for the rain.

"I saw it in a movie, and..well, I wanted to try it, but I always felt bad and didn't want to have you get sick; however, since we're already wet, we might as well try it." He smiles, his gaze shyly escaping yours.

"I loved it." You squeeze his hand in assurance. "But we should get back inside now." Laughing, you both walk back into your house, trying your best not to make it look like a sea monster just broke in and sort of flapped its limps everywhere.

As your deal stated, Edgar got to take a shower first. While waiting, you placed your items in their correct places and prepared a movie.

"Finally!" You cheered when Edgar came out of the bathroom. Steam clearly filled up the space inside, and it lured you inside immediately; you were desperate for the hot water to make up for the cold shower you were forced to have because your umbrella decided to die on you.

The hot shower relaxed the muscles you hadn't realized were so tense. It was a magical feeling; no matter how many times you try it, it never ceases to impress you.

After eventually convincing yourself it was enough, you get out of the shower and dress yourself in some comfy pyjamas.

"Time for the movie!" You announce, walking out of the bathroom, but Edgar was already passed out on the bed, his mouth slightly open- something he only did when he was extremely tired.

Smiling to yourself, you grab the duvet and pull it on top of him and tucking him in. "Good night."

You turn off the large screen in your bedroom and eagerly make your way to your side of the bed. Careful not to disturb his sleep, you slowly slide beneath the cover and shuffle closer to the peacefully sleeping Edgar, basking in the warmth of his body.

Perhaps you didn't get to have your originally planned date, but being by his side would always make you happy. Therefore, anything can count as a good date if you're doing it together. Maybe even sleeping.

Opened Container

David looked at the sleeping bearded man as the truck idled at a stop sign in downtown Wolf's Creek. He heard Linds words again as he watched the half open mouth move, the sleeping body shivered against the cold of the fall night. David turned in his seat and grabbed his blue jean jacket and draped it across Jon. He gently pressed on it so it wouldn't slip from his shoulders and chest. Turning back to the road he glanced left, then right before pressing one of his bare feet on the gas and started the drive. The town itself seemed to be sleeping as they past the three story office buildings.

The loud sound of snoring to his right made a small crooked smile play at David's lips as he left the downtown area and drove into the surrounding suburbs. With in minutes he was at the Brownstone. Parking on the street in front, he stepped down from the cab and walked around to the passenger side. Within seconds he was carrying the man over the threshold of his home, He hoped that no one saw him carry in a man but believed that since it was so late no one noticed. He ignored his long abandoned bowl of popcorn and luke warm can of beer and silently moved across the living room. It was hard sneaking up the hardwood stairs but he managed to get all the way to his bedroom. The house was old, with creaky floor boards but Jon snored softer in David's arms and he was hyper aware of every creaky floorboard.

He gently let Jon slide from his arms into his king size bed. In seven years no other person had been in this room with him. He tried to ignore that as he undid the black shoe strings of the loafers and pulled one shoe off the barefoot and then the other. For a moment he stared at the pale skin, he didn't know why he was surprised that the tattoos ran down to his toes and the soles of his feet but he was. He got up from his knees and went to his bedroom door and closed it gently and turned the lock.

David felt his heart hammer in his chest at he looked at the sleeping drunk man in his bed. He closed his eyes and felt his wolf, could visualize it watching the man the same way he was. There was something about him that David wanted to understand, so he crept up to the bed and leaned down over him. The smells of blood was fainter but was replaced with honeysuckle and cinnamon and the deep scent of alcohol but there was something else. David felt the wolf inside him pressing on his soul, felt his body move as it pushed him down on top of Jon and he pressed his nose to the skin right below David's right ear. He smelled the magic like the after burn of lightning touching the ground. When Davd raised up, a low growl was rumbling through his chest as he understood what Jon's secret was.

"Ofcourse you're a fucking Witch, the only thing that could kill me with one spell." David said as he soothed his wolf with positive thoughts, promising they would run through the Blackwoods soon but for now. David hooked his fingers beneath the man's sweater and pulled it gently off his body. He followed the lines of the spells woven into his chest and abs from tattooed ink. Keeping his breathing steady, he undid the jeans and shook his head at the revelation that Jon had gone to the bar without boxers or underwear of any kind. David pulled them off and put his comforter ontop of Jon and made sure he was comfortable before walking to the adjorning bacthroom. He looked back at the sleeping man for a moment before putting his pants to his nose and breathing deeply.

David could lie to himself and say it was for making sure he would always know the scent of a suspect. But to be honest, he wanted to remember the scent wanted to claim it. His wolf was taking the scent into his chest the same as David did. His body reacted as his heart slowed. David could feel his cock straining against his pajama bottoms. He pressed a hand to his forehead and tried to think, tried to ignore the fact the reason for his hardness was a few steps away in his bed. David turned to look in the mirror and saw his eyes were no longer glowing golden but a brilliant blue. He shook his head hard but the color wouldn't leave. The color of a Mated Werewolf.

David grabbed his tooth brush and bit down on it as he pulled hard on his hair. The shock of something this powerful was hard for him to stay quiet about. David spit his toothbrush out and grabbed a thick white towel and bit down on it as he grew claws and stabbed them into his side. If this was a dream he would wake from the pain but as the searing pain of his claws ripping into his own flesh came he knew he wasn't dreaming. Tears burned his eyes as he thought of Penelo, every time they had made love his eyes never changed. No matter how hard he had tried he couldn't feel anything beside the deepest friendship with her but as he looked out at the sleeping man, he felt his erection grow painful with need and a storm of butterflies in the pit of his stomach. His wolf was still, watching their mate sleep. David was the unruly one, the stubborn one.

David pulled off his shirt and slowly slipped his pajamas down. He closed the bathroom door and even turned on the light. He looked at the holes in his side close as he healed. His long, throbbing penis stood straight up, demanding attention. He could feel his fear raising goosebumps across his forearm. He was so afraid to grip it, to imagine the man in the next room taking the blunt tip of cock between those full bearded lips and suck deep on it down to his full balls. David bit down on his bottom lip and felt the pain sobering his clouded with lust mind as he walked to the shower and turned the water to freezing. He stepped beneath it and covered his mouth with his hands as he felt the frigid water beat against his skin. His wolf growled at him but he ignored it as he stood beneath it.

David's mind took him back to the last time he had take a cold shower, his father had come home with his work buddies. David had brought them beers and noticed a dark skinned man watching him. Their eyes had met for a moment and what David saw there caused him to look away. Charlie had seen it, that stolen glance and told David to go up and do his homework. David hadn't thought anything of it. He had been barely 14 years old. But when his father kicked in his door David had understood that somehow it was his fault. His father had dragged him out of his room and thrown him down the same stairs he had carried Jon up. David could still feel the wood digging into his soft body as he fell down them.

His father had leapt from the top floor to the bottom and before he could even comprehend it, his father's foot had connected with his side. Over and over Charlie had kicked and punched him. The blows had been so rapid, David couldn't even cry out.

When it was over David had showered, as he did he squeezed the welts and bruises. He caused himself more pain, forever reminding himself of it so if anything like that ever happened he wouldn't. Standing there shivering, he had no idea of how long he had been but the presence of a second heartbeat close to him snapped him out of his revelry. He looked to his right and saw Jon standing in his bathroom naked, confused and scared but trying to cover it up.

"David...you ok," Jon asked. The concern in his voice was the cut to his confidence. David fell to his knees. He knew it was weak, knew he was the one who had brought this person to his home. Whether it was his doing or his wolf, he had given in to that part of himself that only caused him pain. His father was probably rolling over in his grave. David didn't notice the water stop running, or the towel on his skin and hair. He had been dead weight shivering when Jon had helped him to stand. He looked at Jon from what felt like behind a sheet of muddy glass and the drunk man looked back with deep concern but said nothing as he forced David to sit on his bed. Jon rubbed the towel over his arms and chest, resisting the urge to look between David's legs and kept his eyes on David's as the towel went lower.

If Jon were honest he was waiting for David to punch him, call him a faggot but the man just looked at him with that dead sad stair and Jon was confused and worried. The towel reached David's penis and Jon rubbed it over the area until he felt David's strong hands on his stopping him.

"I'm fine." David said, his voice listless and Jon nodded as he got up on his knees between David's legs looking him in the eyes again. The distance between them was inches but no part of their bodies touched.

"Why am i Here" Jon asked

"You were drunk and i brought you here to sleep it off," David mumbled and Jon nodded he sighed with embarrassment. He stood and helped David into the bed. He asked himself how he could be this stupid, how he could get so drunk that he needed help getting himself home. He looked around the dark room and gathered his clothes. Shame filled his heart as he remembered his callous words at the bar. Still David had helped him, and he was here naked in this man's room. Had he tried to seduce him, that was something he would do but he was so drunk he couldn't remember anything.

"Stay...please." David said in a voice slightly above a whisper. Jon froze, he couldn't understand the significance of it. He looked back over his tattooed shoulder and saw Davud sitting up in that bed. Jon put his clothes by the door and slowly made his way back to the bed. David watched his slow movements and understood Jon was afraid. He could smell the yearning and the fear, but also loneliness. Maybe Jon was as lonely as he was. Soon they lay together looking at each other from different sides of the bed. David felt at ease staring into the drunk eyes looking back at him. The mate situation would be one for another day, maybe he could go the rest of his life alone but his wolf chuffed and laid on his belly equally content to be this close to Jon.

For now he would be an Open Container waiting for life to fill him in.

Attack On Titan: Warriors Soul- Part 2

A.O.T- The Underground

843:

A harsh cough left Kana as she came to, slowly sitting up. She brought her hand up to her head. It was really hurting her. She shook it off as she slowly stood, testing the strength of her legs. Despite being a little shaky, she was able to stand on her own. Okay, so the fall didn't do that much damage... If only I could figure out where the hell I even am... Kana thought as she looked around. She slowly walked to the end of the alley she was in and peeked around the corner. Everyone was dressed differently than she was. She looked down at her clothes. Well, shit, I'll be sticking out like a sore thumb... Kana looked around before spotting a shirt and some pants that looked like they would fit her. She'd have to steal them off the line they were hanging on, but it beat having to take clothes off some random, dirty as hell dead body or something. She used her gymnastics skills to climb up, snag the clothes and get back down. She looked around to make sure no one was around before changing in the shadows of the alleyway. Digging into her original pants pocket, she found that there wasn't anything but her pocket knife to take with her. She held onto it, deciding to keep it in order to use it if the need ever arose. Surprisingly, the clothes fit her okay, and she could move in them better as opposed to a dress, so it was basically heaven to her. As she stepped out into the crowd, leaving her old clothes behind and with her pocket knife in her pants pocket, she put her hair back in a messy bun, some stray hairs framing the side of her face. She would take care of her rat's nest of hair later, right now, she needed to figure out what to do.

This wasn't part of the Attack On Titan world as far as she knew, having only seen the one episode Akairi had been watching... Kana frowned at the thought of her little sister. She had to find Akairi, hoping that the poor kid would be okay alone. The thought honestly scared her, Akairi being on her own. But, considering that kid had seen the whole series through to the final episode of the third season, Kana concluded that Akairi's knowledge would be more than enough to survive this world.... At least... She hoped...

A commotion caused her dark hazel eyes to shift to her left, her gaze at an alleyway she had been about to pass. She put her hand in her pocket, closing it around the knife as she walked towards it. What she found nearly startled her. There was a young girl, around 16 or 17 if she had to guess the kid's age, with reddish-brown hair that was pulled into two pig tails, a pair of vibrant green eyes looking up at her. The kid had on a large orange button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, what looked like brown tights with small tan boots adorning her feet. Something about the girl's green eyes reminded Kana of Akairi, though the kid was currently looking really weak. Kana wordlessly helped the kid up, taking her to an abandoned house. There wasn't much in it, and the place had cobwebs galore, but it would have to do. As much as the cobwebs begged the shit out of Kana, it needed to wait. Kana tried the faucet to see if the water was working. Much to her own relief, it was. She rummaged through the cabinets before finding a cup. It was caked in dust, but after a good scrubbing, it was all the way cleaned. She filled it with water and brought it to the kid, helping her sit up. "Here, drink this. After we get you hydrated, I'll get us some food." Kana promised. The kid, thank God, listened to Kana and drank the water before falling back asleep. Once she was asleep, Kana went back out, snagging food from stands as she walked by when the owners weren't looking. She was honestly surprised at how smoothly it went considering it was her first time stealing anything. Once she returned, she gently woke up the kid and fed her, keeping an apple for herself as she looked around in thought. The place needed a serious dusting, and that wasn't even the half of it.

"Thanks for that, miss! I can take care of myself, but I appreciate the help!" The kid told her.

"What's a kid your age doing living in garbage alone anyways? Where the hell are your parents?" Kana asked.

"Aw, it's not so bad. You don't gotta worry about me. Besides, living among trash is all I know, I don't have any family left." The kid answered, waving off her concern. Kana hesitated for a second. The kid had no family left... Just like her... Well, besides Akairi...

"Well, whether you like or not, you do now." Kana replied. "I'm Kana. Kana Takashiro." The kid seemed to light up at this.

"I'm Isabel Magnolia, nice to meet ya!" She hyperactively introduced herself, causing Kana to crack a smile. This kid had as much energy as her little sister. Kana's smile fell as she looked around.

"Hey, Isabel, give me a hand with cleaning this place up, would ya? There's cobwebs and shit everywhere." Kana asked her. Isabel enthusiastically nodded before the two set to work. It took a while to clear the place of all the crap, but once it was finished, Kana felt proud of the work they'd done together. Isabel let out a breath of exhaustion, plopping cross legged onto the floor.

"That was exhausting!" She exclaimed dramatically, making Kana chuckle a bit while shaking her head. She grinned up at Kana. "Hey, Big Sis, I've told you about my family, what about yours?" She asked. Kana's smile dropped as she sat down next to Isabel. "My parents died a few years ago. I have a little sister, but she and I got separated. I somehow ended up down here." Kana answered her. She watched as a frown crossed her face.

"How old is she?" Isabel asked.

"8 years old, which is why I'm worried. She's never been on her own before."

"Do you know where she is?"

"Somewhere up top if I had to guess." Kana smiled at Isabel. "You remind me of her a bit." Isabel lit up.

"Really?" She asked excitedly. Kana nodded.

"Yeah, Akairi has a ton of energy, and she's definitely got spunk." Kana laughed at the memory. "I'll have to introduce you two if we ever get up top and find her."

"I'd love to meet her!" Isabel grinned, hugging Kana. Kana laughed and hugged her back. This was going to be a crazy one. She just wished Akairi could be here with her....

Underground- 844

A year after Kana first arrived in the Underground, she had perfected her abilities as a thief, as well as had been able to take down several men twice her size while protecting Isabel.

One specific day, Isabel and her had been snagging food from the vendors while pickpocketing certain people when Isabel suddenly looked up, making Kana stop and look up as well. Flying past them on some type of machine were two men. The first looked a bit older than Isabel, with dark blond hair with bangs that hung in the center of his forehead, and light grey eyes. He was dressed a simple, long sleeved white shirt with a blue vest, tan pants and knee high boots. But the second...

The second looked around the same age as her, with short, straight undercut raven black hair and narrow, by far the most intimidating she'd ever seen, dull grey eyes. She noticed that there were dark circles under his eyes and she wondered if he had problems sleeping for too long at night like she did.... He was wearing a white shirt that had sleeves that only went to his elbows in length, the collar turned up, a brown vest, dark pants with a brown belt and the same boots as the blond. "Those guys are so cool! I wonder what it's like to fly around like that..." Isabel trailed off in thought, making Kana smile at her a bit as she shook her head. But, she couldn't help but wonder who they were...

In the year she had been taking care of Isabel, Kana often times found herself having to hold back the nearly 18 year old spunky girl from doing something hasty, but Kana couldn't always get her to listen. One of the times Isabel didn't listen, it happened to be a day that Kana remembered from then on as the day that changed everything... The day that changed her life forever...

"Isabel, come on, we have to head back." Kana called her wild child of a friend.

"Wait, Big Sis, we can't leave it here." Isabel was bent over something, cradling whatever she was hiding in her hands.

"What're you talking about?" Kana asked, only for Isabel to reveal a bird. Kana blinked. "How the hell did that get down here?" She asked as she knelt next to Isabel to get a better look.

"It must have gotten in through the sewers." Isabel reasoned. Kana gently pet the top of the bird's head with a finger before noticing that the bird wasn't struggling in Isabel's grip at all. "We need to take it back up top." Isabel told Kana.

"Whoa, whoa, wait a second, kiddo. First of all, how're we going to get up the 11th Stairway? The toll went up earlier today, and the amount of money we do have won't be enough. Secondly, what if there's something wrong with it's wings? It won't be able to fly away." Kana asked, trying to make Isabel see reason. Isabel only smirked. Seeing through her, Kana started to refuse. "No, no, no, no, don't you dare! You know how much trouble you'll be in... Isabel!" Isabel took off running for the stairs, Kana chasing after her. The girls hid behind a wall by the stairs, watching as the guards took money to let people upstairs. Three of them total, and if they got caught, they were in for it. "This is an extremely bad idea." Kana whispered to the green eyed girl next to her. Isabel winked.

"I got this, Big Sis. You worry too much." Isabel whispered back.

"Uh, given how much trouble I've had to get you out of in the past year, I think I worry just the right amount, thank you." Kana countered, close to whisper shouting as Isabel snuck closer to the stairs with Kana behind her. But, just as they reached the steps, their luck of not being discovered ran out.

"Hey!" One of the men yelled, getting his companions to turn around.

"Run." Kana said simply before grabbing Isabel by the arm and running with her, but one of the men managed to grab Isabel.

"Ha! Got you now, girlie!" He yelled, putting a hand over Isabel's mouth.

"Get your filthy hands off her!" Kana bellowed as she cut a gash in the guy's face the same time Isabel bit down hard on his hand, making him howl in pain as Kana grabbed Isabel and ran, making the girl keep up with her.

"What're we running for?! We can take 'em!" Isabel asked.

"With you carrying that bird? I don't think so. We need to find some place to hide or at least get enough distance between us and them so I can get the drop on 'em." Kana replied stubbornly before rounding a corner, hitting some kind of plaza.

"Find somewhere to hide, I'll hold them off." Kana told her, letting her go.

"But...."

"NOW!" Kana yelled at her, interrupting what she was about to say. Isabel only nodded and continued running, Kana turning to face the men chasing them, able to hear their voices. She grit her teeth, growling a bit as a deadly scowl crossed her face. Just as they came into view, she heard a thud coming from somewhere behind her, allowing her to conclude without looking that Isabel had found a place to hide.

"Can't believe that brat bit me that hard, and that bitch..."

"When we catch them, lemme have a little fun with them."

"Hah? What fun can you have with a brat like that? The bitch, I understand..." All three men stopped in their tracks upon seeing Kana, her knife drawn and a look of pure hatred on her face. The blade was pointed downward as she stood in a ready position, anticipating the fight that was to come.

"Oi, where's the brat?" The leader asked.

"Why don't you shitheads piss the fuck off? I'm not telling you where she is." Kana snapped at them.

"Guess I get to have my fun after all." The second one grinned, a look in his eyes that pissed her off.

"You'll have to kill me first." Kana snarled before the men charged her. Kana let out a yell and started fighting them, dodging all their attacks and dealing damage of her own. After a while, one of them got a hit in, knocking her to the ground. Kana sprung back up, her knife out of her hand and too far beyond her reach to get without getting caught. She crossed her arms in front of her to guard herself as she was attacked by one while the other two charged her. Noticing her predicament, she back flipped, avoiding the two and causing them to crash into each other before they hit the ground, groaning in pain.

"GODDAMN IT!" The leader roared, swinging wildly at Kana. Kana dodged each, getting under the last punch before kicking his stomach and punching him in the face as hard as she could. The leader grunted as her fist came into contant with his nose, a cracking sound being heard before he hit the ground, blood gushing out from his nose. Kana panted for a second.

"Listen up, piss ants. You threaten that kid again, I swear to god, I'll hunt all of you down, and kill your dumbasses. You stay the fuck away from her, got it?" Kana snarled at them. Much to her satisfaction, they nodded quickly, their eyes showing fear. "Then get the hell out here before I change my mind." She watched as they got up. She lunged for them and they screamed, tripping over their own feet as they ran for it. She wiped the blood from her bottom lip, finding it was busted. "Damn..." She murmured before going to her knife and picking it up. It was covered with blood leftover from the fight. She looked down at it in disgust before cleaning it, walking toward the house that Isabel ran to. When she looked up, she found the two young men from a few weeks before, the men leaning against opposite sides of the doorframe. She stopped in place, popping a hip. "You gonna let me pass to see her, or am I gonna have to kick your asses too? I'd rather not have to fight again today, but I will if I have to."

"Heh. You're a fiesty one too, aren't ya? Relax, we'll let you see her." The blond replied, allowing Kana to pass him. Kana glanced to her right to see the raven haired man's grey eyes on her. He was 3 inches taller than her, much to her annoyance. Considering that she was only 5 feet tall, she should have known she still would end up the shorter one, but a woman could only hope... He made no move to stop her, merely cleaning his own knife with a rag. Once her blade was clean, Kana put her knife and the rag she had away in her pocket before kneeling in front of Isabel.

"Are you okay?" She asked. Isabel nodded cheerfully in response. "Are you hurt?" She asked again, getting a head shake from Isabel this time. Kana reached up and flicked Isabel on her forehead, making the girl yelp.

"What was that for?" She whined as she rubbed her forehead with a hand.

"For acting like an idiot. Again." Kana answered. Isabel merely pouted at her.

"Hey, how long are you going to cling onto that for?" The male asked Isabel after a minute of silence had passed. Isabel blinked in surprise, but the male wasn't done. "It's going to die."

"I thought that'd warm it up." Isabel replied, moving her arm so the males could see the bird, holding it in her hands. Kana moved to Isabel's side so the boys could see better.

"Where'd you two get that bird?" He asked.

"It was flying about, probably came in via the sewers. I thought I'd set it free above ground." Isabel told them. The blond looked surprised.

"You tried to sneak up the stairway for that?" He asked. Isabel smiled down at the bird in her hands as she gently stroked its feathers.

"This little guy probably prefers soaring the skies instead of wandering the underground city." Isabel answered. The blond knelt by her, getting a closer look at the bird.

"That's all fine and dandy, but this bird's hurt its wing." He told Isabel. Isabel looked down at it.

"Huh? For real?!" Isabel cried out, making Kana's eyes go skyward.

"Told you." Kana said to her, making Isabel glare at her.

A bit later, the blond finished wrapping both the bird's wings in gauze before gently holding the little thing in his hands. Kana was sitting next to him on the couch, her leg crossed over the other while Isabel sat in a chair facing him to watch his actions. "You're something else.... Oh, right! What's your name? I'm Isabel, and that's Kana." She jabbed her thumb toward Kana.

"I'm Farlan and that's Levi." Farlan introduced himself before casting a glance over at the raven haired male, who was sitting at the table with one leg over his other, slouched with one arm on the tip of the backrest on the chair.

"Farlan, and, Bro?" Isabel asked. The words caused Levi to glance at Isabel with an eyebrow raised.

"Bro?" He asked.

"Please let me join you!" Isabel burst out.

"Hah?" Farlan turned toward Isabel.

"Isabel..." Kana started, but Isabel kept talking.

"You guys use ODM gears, right? I've seen you two in action! Seeing you guys fly free like birds made me jealous. I want to try it out too!" Isabel begged. Farlan turned to Levi.

"What should we do?" He asked. Levi looked down in thought for a minute, uncrossing his legs before standing up and walking toward the door.

"Hey!" Isabel's shout made him stop in his tracks, looking at Isabel.

"If you're going to stay here, learn how to clean first before learning the ODM Gear." Levi answered, before his eyes set on Kana. "That goes for you too."

"Tch, not a problem." Kana answered. She wasn't going to let Isabel join them alone, but it looked like she wouldn't have to force them to accept her too. Levi looked at Kana a bit longer before heading out the door, closing it behind him. Isabel threw a questioning glance Farlan's way, who merely smiled and nodded once, causing Isabel to light up.

"THANK YOU, BRO!" Isabel yelled after him, causing Kana to snigger and shake her head. In the month or so that followed, the girls tried on the gear given to them, and a test run proved difficult as both Kana and Isabel somehow ended upside down multiple times before calling it quits. Not too long after, Farlan took the bandages off the bird's wings, seeing that it was good as new before Levi, Farlan, Isabel and Kana all cleaned the hideout top to bottom, making it spotless. They ate together, Farlan, Isabel and Kana teasing each other. Levi even ruffled Isabel's hair. After a month or so, Levi's gang gathered around to watch as the girls attempted the ODM Gear again, this time being successful in their attempts and flying around as the gang cheered them on. Kana, Isabel and the boys flew above the city on the ODM gear, finding a crevice in the ground big enough to set the bird free, sending it back where it belonged. Kana wrapped an arm around Isabel's shoulders as the four watched the bird fly high into the sky, leaving behind a single feather.

"That'll be us one day, I promise." Kana promised Isabel before the four headed back to the hideout. When they were almost there, Kana stopped dead in her tracks. A man was in front of the steps, looking at a pocket watch. "Levi." Kana got Levi's attention before nodding toward the man, the remaining three stopping next to Kana. Levi saw the man as he looked up, closing his pocket watch and putting it in his pocket. Levi discretely moved a bit in front of the girls, wanting to protect them both from whoever this guy was.

"Oi, what is it, old geezer? You want something from us?" Isabel asked, her arms crossed behind her head.

"I need a job done." The man spoke. Farlan spoke this time.

"You sure you didn't get the wrong address? We aren't handymen." He told the man.

"I assure you, the pay will be good." The man insisted.

"Piss off." Levi finally put in before Kana could reply, the four walking past him.

"I believe I have already put down a deposit for your services." The man told them without turning around. This made the four of them turn around.

"That's horseshit. This is the first time we've met." Kana responded this time, standing next to Levi on the steps.

"That's true... But I'm sure you will recognize the gentleman over there." The man spoke, turning his gaze to across the street, the four turning their heads to see what he was looking at. A young man not much younger than Farlan was being helped into a carriage by two older men.

"Jan!" Farlan spoke, recognizing him instantly.

"His leg is severely impaired. He must have it operated on in a hospital above ground. I am correct, am I not, Levi?" The man asked.

"What're you getting at?" Kana asked, the question coming out in a half snarl, as if tempting the man to try something.

"I'll repeat myself... That is our deposit. Now, will you hear me out?" The man asked. Levi stayed silent for a minute before speaking.

"Very well." He agreed. While Jan was carried into the waiting carriage with a smile on his face, the four followed the men up the 11th Stairway. As they reached the top, they shielded their eyes from the bright sun, giving their eyes time to adjust.

"Are these the ones?" Kana heard the voice before she saw the man. He was sitting in a carriage, but he was looking at them from the window. She noticed his eyes lingered longer on her before they gained a look that no good man should ever look at a woman with. As the man who brought them there spoke, Kana felt Levi put her behind him, a sharp, hateful glare on his face.

"Yes. I've heard great things about them." The man with them spoke. Levi glared at the man for a moment before speaking.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked.

"I understand your wariness. But, you'll learn to trust me in time." The man spoke.

"Doubtful." Kana murmured under her breath before Farlan laughed a bit.

"How so?" He asked.

"The fact that I've contacted you personally proves it. I am risking quite a lot by being here. Have you recieved my deposit?" He asked.

"I don't know what you call it above ground, but it's called "taking a hostage" where we're from." Levi spoke up in response.

"It's proof that your reward will be ample." The man replied. "Do you understand? Once you complete this job, not only will you be generously compensated for your work, but you will also earn the right to live above ground." The man's words made Kana's heart stop dead in her chest. She could get above ground? She could find her sister if she was above ground, but where would she even begin to start looking? As the four started to walk away, the man spoke once more. "Let me just say one thing." This made Levi stop and turn back around, still keeping Kana behind him. "Whether you accept this job or not, the target will come into contact with you. In other words, there's no getting around it."

.........

Later on at the hideout, Levi and Kana checked over their gear with Farlan and Isabel checking over their own before stepping outside for a second. Everything was working in perfect order, but Kana didn't want to tempt fate. The chance of finding her sister depended on this job... She felt the warmth of Levi's hand over hers, realizing that she had been slightly trembling. "What's on your mind?" Levi asked.

"This is a huge chance, but... I don't trust that man." Kana answered him.

"I honestly don't either, but we don't have a choice at this point. Farlan should be able to come up with the intel we need, so we're at least not going into this blind." Levi replied. Kana looked down at her feet. "Hey." She heard Levi's voice grow soft in tone before feeling him lift her chin with his finger and thumb, making her look up into his eyes. "You're already thinking about how this could go wrong. Stop that. Everything'll be fine." He assured her.

"I hope you're right." Kana whispered, but Levi heard her anyway.

"Levi, we're ready to roll." Farlan told Levi as he poked his head through the door, causing the male to turn his attention away from Kana before he could say anything more to her. As they walked down to where their latest heist would be, Farlan spoke. "I've verified Jan's status. He's definitely been admitted to a top class hospital. The man in the carriage's identity is legit, too. This job is the real deal. We're doing this, aren't we, Levi?" He asked. Levi was silent for a moment.

"Bro?" Isabel asked tentatively.

"Just act natural. It's only when we come face to face with them like that bald geezer said, that our job begins." Levi answered. He jumped down behind a bunch of crates, the others getting into position. When Levi gave the signal, the four activated their ODM gear and jumped into the air, Levi and Kana crashing into crates and knocking them over, allowing the ground members of the gang to grab what was there and run for it.

"It's those thieves! They've hit us again!" One of the guys below shouted.

"Somebody call the Military Police!" Another guy yelled as the four took off into the sky.

"Yahoo!" Isabel shouted in excitement as she soared through the air behind Levi, Kana and Farlan. They got into formation, Levi and Kana in front while Farlan and Isabel were next to each other behind the two. Farlan glanced behind them.

"Levi, they're here! Our pursuers!" Farlan shouted in warning. Levi and Kana glanced behind them to see 3 Military Police officers and four people behind them in green cloaks.

"Military Police, huh? When will they learn?" Isabel asked with a smirk before looking ahead at Levi with a bright smile. "Yo, Bro! Was that line sweet or what?" She asked Levi.

"Are you dense?" Levi's counter question caused Isabel to pout. Levi and Kana both maneuvered a different way, causing all three Military Police to fall off course. A couple switches pulled by Levi and Kana caused them to be able to push off a wall to go the way they came, as two of the soldiers in green passed and were forced to turn around while Kana and Levi rejoined Farlan and Isabel.

"Those movements.... They're not the Military Police!" Farlan exclaimed, all four of the soldiers in green keeping on their tail.

"Yeah, there's no mistaking it..." Levi trailed off.

"It's them." Kana finished. "Those Wings of Freedom crests... The Scouts." All four kept up with them as Farlan let out a slight chuckle.

"These battle-hardened soldiers really are a cut above the rest." Farlan commented. Levi looked at Kana.

"You three! You know what to do." Levi told them. Kana nodded.

"Of course." Isabel replied.

"It's showtime, right?" Farlan added before the four split off in different directions. A Reconnaissance soldier followed each, Kana kicking it into high gear. Time to see how good you boys really are. Kana thought as she maneuvered over the city, trying to shake the one behind her. She sprang in a window, running through the building, jumping over gaps and flipping between the divide in the conjoined buildings. She jumped through the window on the opposite side, allowing herself to free fall. She gasped when she spotted a green blur heading for her and ducked as she ended up going under his blade, the metal nearly touching her skin. With the angle she was in, what little lighting the town shone through the hood her pursuer was wearing, revealing a pair of blue eyes looking at her. She could barely spot some blond hair, though her first thought had nothing to do with his looks all together...

Goddamn, those eyebrows are thick as fuck! Kana thought as she shot up into the air more and flew at a fast pace. However, a second ambushed her from above, knocking her to the ground. Kana slid a bit before flipping onto her feet, drawing her knife and blocking an attack, straining to keep from losing the fight. A glance to her left showed her that Levi was right next to her, the soldier that had been pursuing her having him pushed against the wall behind him with his knife hand up next to his head while the male's blade sat at Levi's neck, Levi's free hand keeping the wrist holding the bigger blade from getting any closer to hurting him. "You bastard!" Kana yelled, but the break of concentration got her in the same predicament. Levi and Kana both struggled at the same time.

"Don't even think about it. Look around you." Kana's pursuer told them. Kana glanced over to find that Farlan and Isabel had been captured, Farlan not struggling at all while Isabel struggled like a maniac.

"Let me go, asshole! Goddamnit!" Isabel yelled as she struggled, giving her captor a hard time. Farlan saw their predicament.

"Levi, Kana!" He shouted, drawing Isbael to stop struggling and look at the two, complete and utter fear on her eyes. Kana grit her teeth.

"You son of bitch." Kana snarled at him before Levi dropped his knife. Reluctantly, Kana followed his lead, not knowing what else to do. Both men holding them against the wall let go of them and withdrew their blades.

"You're both quick on your feet." The male commented, only getting a glare from both in response, Levi half putting Kana behind him protectively.

Just moments later, all four were on their knees with their hands cuffed behind their backs, Levi placed between Kana and Isabel. "I will ask you a few questions." He held up on of the handles for the ODM Gear. "Where did you obtain these?" The first of his questions was met with silence. "You're all very skilled in ODM Gears. Who was your instructor?" Again, his question was followed by silence. Their interrogator approached Levi. "I'm guessing you are their leader. Have you undertaken squad training before?" He questioned Levi. For the third time, silence was his only response, followed by a glare. The male who had attacked Kana grabbed Levi by the head and forced him to the ground, ducking Levi's face in a muddy puddle.

"Get the fuck off him!" Kana yelled.

"Asshole!" Isabel shouted at the same time.

"I'll ask once more. Where did you learn how to use the ODM Gear?" The interrogator asked. Both Kana and Levi glared at him.

"No one taught us! We taught ourselves!" Farlan answered. That got Farlan a look of disbelief.

"You taught yourselves? That's hard to believe." He responded.

"We did so the escape from this goddamn hellhole. It's something that someone like you, who's basked in the sun, would never understand. Either way, get your filthy ass hands the fuck off of him now. You got your goddamn answer." Kana snarled, her glare unwavering from her face.

"Stop acting stuck up just because you're soldiers!" Isbael growled in addition. The male's gaze switched from Kana to Isabel, then back to Kana again before settling on Levi. With a nod to his companion, Levi's head was brought back up out of the puddle before the blond knelt in the puddle to be eye level with Levi.

"My name is Erwin Smith. What is your name?" He introduced himself. Levi was silent for a moment before replying.

"Levi."

"Levi, I would like to make you a deal." Erwin told him.

"A deal?" Levi asked in response before Erwin continued.

"We'll let you off the hook so long as you lend us your strength. Join the Reconnaissance Battalion." Erwin told him. Farlan and Isbael's eyes grew a little wide at this while Kana and Levi's stayed narrowed in a poker faced glare.

"And if I refuse?" Levi asked.

"You'll be handed over to the Military Police. Considering the length of your rap sheet," Erwin stood to full height as he continued. "The Military Police will make your lives a living hell."

"Erwin, was it? Why don't you take a good long look around you? Filth is everywhere here, people are dying without medicines that are too high in cost enough without the rising prices, no sunlight for anyone down here means even more people in fatal condition without any resources they need... How could you, someone who's lived in luxury compared to the four of us, call this anything but a living hell?" Kana asked him, speaking her mind with venom on the edge of her voice. Erwin faced Kana.

"Then, you have no reason to decline my offer." Erwin told her, ignoring most of what she said. A growl left Kana, but the female found herself ignored again. "Make your decision." Erwin told Levi. Levi was silent for a moment before speaking only two words:

"Very well." Isabel's eyes widened in surprise at this, Farlan remaining unreadable along with Kana as Levi spit out mud before glaring up at Erwin. "I'll join the Reconnaissance Battalion." With Levi's agreement, they were freed of their restraints and lead up the stairs, being taken to the Reconnaissance Battalion's Headquarters. A female soldier took Isabel and Kana into a different room to get them cleaned up and dressed before letting the girls rejoin their male friends to receive their jackets. When Kana had entered the room, Levi was the only friend there, along with a male soldier. The male soldier gave her one of the jackets, which Kana put on before standing beside Levi, getting a good look at him. Along with the Scout uniform was a pure white ascot around his neck. Kana thought it looked good on him, but before she could say anything about it, Farlan and Isabel joined them.

.......

"ATTENTION!" The leader of the Scouts yelled, all of the Scouts standing at attention as Farlan, Isabel, Levi and Kana all stood beside him, facing their new comrades. "Starting today, these four will be fighting alongside all of you! Introduce yourselves!" He commanded the four after addressing the Scouts. Levi glanced at Erwin before looking at the Scouts, his arms crossed over his chest.

"The name's Levi." Levi introduced himself. It caused a bit of commotion among the Scouts, more than likely due to the way it was said.

"Levi, the first thing you need to learn is some goddamn discipline." The leader told him with a bit of an irritated scowl. "Next!" At the leader's shout, Isabel stepped up, her head held high.

"I'm Isabel Magnolia! Nice to meet ya!" She introduced herself. Farlan was next, saluting with his fist over his heart, though it was turned toward the ground.

"My name is... Farlan Church." Farlan introduced himself. Lastly, was Kana.

"And I am Kana Takashiro." Kana introduced herself.

"Flagon, these four will be assigned to your squad." The leader told one of the soldiers. "Look after them." Flagon didn't look too pleased with this. "M-My squad, sir?"

"Any objections?"

"N-No..." His eyes glanced toward Erwin, who was next to him. "But, shouldn't Erwin..."

"Erwin is tasked with overseeing all the soldiers. The new recruits will be your responsibility. Is that understood?" The leader interrupted him. Flagon saluted, Kana paying attention to the way he saluted the leader. Fist over heart with the heel of the palm turned upward toward the sun... The Scouts made a commotion over Farlan's introduction because he saluted wrong.... She thought, making a mental note not to make the same mistake.

"Yes sir! Understood!" Flagon answered his leader's question, though he still didn't look happy about it as he glared a bit at Levi, Levi's gaze steady as he looked at Flagon in return. A bit later, Flagon was showing them around, saving a simple building for last. "This is the barracks." He told the four as he entered the building. Farlan looked around as he followed Flagon into a room.

"There are quite a few bunks in here." Farlan commented, Isabel jumping in excitement behind him. Kana and Levi entered behind Isabel, Kana looking around.

"Yay! We're all in the same room!" Isabel shouted in excitement, causing Flagon to look irritated. Noticing Flagon's expression, Kana spoke.

"The barracks are separated by gender, aren't they?" Kana guessed. Flagon nodded in confirmation, making Isabel whine.

"But I wanna sleep in here!" Isabel yelled, Flagon continuing as he nodded toward a bunk bed, the bed closest to the window.

"You two men will sleep here." Levi walked over to the bunk and ran his hand behind the bottom board for the top bunk, a disgusted look crossing his face when dust and debris fell onto the lower bed. He rubbed his index finger and thumb together as his nose scrunched up. "So, I know you guys were living in the Underground City's slums, but do try to keep this place clean." Flagon told the boys. Kana watched cautiously as an angry look crossed Levi's face just then. To tell him, of all people, to try to keep a place clean... It was practically an insult.

"Levi..." Kana's voice was low in warning, but ultimately the warning went unheard by him. Levi turned around to face Flagon with a look on his face that screamed he was about ready to start fighting.

"Huh?" That was the only sound that left Levi as Isabel, Furlan and Kana all tensed up. Oh shit... Before anyone could move to stop him, Levi had stepped closer to Flagon, a set glare on his face.

"Wh-What's with that look?!" Flagon's voice shook, but whether it was from rage or fear, Kana wasn't able to tell. "How dare you approach a superior officer with that attitude-"

"Sorry!" Farlan jumped between Levi and Flagon, cutting the tension that was about to unfold into a fight. The girls stood side by side, frozen as they watched Farlan act. "We understand. We'll try to keep this place clean."

"We'll do more than try... We can keep it better kept than those idiots." Kana mumbled under her breath before she saw Farlan salute Flagon with his fist upside down again. She nearly facepalmed. Flagon looked at Farlan for a minute.

"Tch... You'll begin training first thing tomorrow, got it?" Flagon asked as he walked out. "Your hand's upside down!" He yelled over his shoulder before the door slammed shut.

"Well... He was pleasant..." The last word was said with venomous sarcasm, coming through Kana's grit teeth. "I swear to the gods, if we gotta deal with every one of our commanding officers being that way, I'm not gonna make it through this without killing someone." Kana commented, getting a look from Farlan before the male turned to Levi, who had pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket to wipe his hand off.

"Don't disobey your superiors, Levi." Farlan warned Levi before looking at Kana. "We're drawing enough attention as it is."

"Didn't you hear what that prick was sprouting out of his big mouth?" Levi asked, turning to Farlan with a look that showed that he was still pissed off about it.

"We weren't just caught by accident, you know." Farlan pointed out. "I hope you haven't forgotten why we're here, Levi."

"Yeah, I know." Levi replied. Kana opened her mouth to say something, but closed it, looking down at her boots as she remembered what their employer had said....

"The Scout Regiment will likely come after you. Be sure to put up little resistance. There are two things I'll have you do for me... First, you'll obtain a certain document, which is in the possession of Erwin Smith. And secondly, to kill the Scout Regiment squad leader, Erwin Smith. These are the tasks I've given you." His voice echoed in their minds.

"To be frank, I honestly don't trust him. However, at this point, it's not like we can just go back the Underground... As fucked up as I may think this is, we don't have a choice. If we want lives above ground, we have to do this." Kana spoke up once she snapped out of her thoughts. Levi nodded in agreement. Later that night, Kana laid on her bed, wide awake as she listened to Isabel's soft snores thinking about how strong she had been forced to be during the past year or so. But, the only thoughts that would truly echo through her head were about Akairi. Is Akairi even okay? Where would I even begin to look for her? Kana turned onto her side, her eyes glancing out the window to the starry sky. Please, she mentally prayed, let my sister be safe.

The next morning, the four began training. One of the female Scouts led Isabel and Kana to the horses. While a couple of them nudged Isabel for attention, one in particular caught Kana's eye. It was a black mare, it's hooves pounding as the Scouts put a saddle and reigns on it. It didn't look too happy either way. "What's going on with that one?" Kana asked. The female Scout looked where she was looking, Kana catching a grimmace as one of the Scouts near the horse got on the saddle, only to be in for a wild ride as the horse began bucking.

"That's what we call a real Night Mare. That particular one's name is Shadow, and since we found him as a colt, no one's been able to go near him except for the stable keeper, and even that's only to give him food and water. He doesn't allow anyone to ride him." She answered Kana. He's rebellious... Kana thought as she began walking toward the commotion to get a better look at the animal despite the Scout shouting at her that she was nuts. Kana watched as the horse kept bucking until the Scout flew off the saddle. The horse nickered, as if laughing at the Scout, before finally settling down. Kana walked toward the horse, keeping her eyes on it and ignoring the other Scouts that were currently shouting at her to not try it. The horse was watching her, as if daring her to make any sudden movements. Kana slowly reached up with one hand, placing it gently on its snout. The horse nickered, but made no movements. Kana cautiously continued, running her hand from its snout and down its neck until she reached right beside the saddle. She looked at the horse, only to find it watching her. She placed one foot in the saddle, but that was when all hell broke loose. The horse started bucking, obviously not going to allow Kana on as she was thrown to the ground. She grit her teeth as the other Scouts laughed at her, but the 5 foot tall woman was far from done. Kana got back up on her feet before beginning to back up, getting a running start and using the fence as leverage to boost herself into the air. She grabbed hold of the reigns as she came down and swung herself into position in the saddle, holding on for dear life as the horse continued to buck, both horse and woman refusing to back down. Kana pulled back on the reigns, causing the horse the rear before she lightly digging her heels into the animal's sides. The horse took off running, though it still bucked as it ran before it finally settled down, focusing on running down the pasture as it accepted defeat. Heart hammering her chest, Kana reached down and gently placed her hand on the side of its neck. It neighed and she withdrew her hand.

Kana pulled back on the reigns a bit after a minute, forcing the horse to slow down to a trot. "I'm glad we're finally in agreement. Let's head back, yeah?" Kana asked him. He nickered in response. "Hyah!" She gently nudged the horse's sides with her heels and they took off once more, heading back to the others. The Scouts were cheering for her as they arrived back, though the trainer's jaw had dropped to the ground. Isabel caught sight of Kana from on her own horse and laughed. Kana slowed her horse back down to a trot as the two approached Isbael. Isabel high fived Kana as the older woman came to a stop beside her.

"Big Sis, watch me!" Isabel told her before taking off as Kana kept Shadow still. Kana laughed a bit as Isabel showed off with the horse she was riding before coming back, petting the horse's mane as the two came to a stop.

"I'm surprised... Did someone teach you two how to ride a horse?" The girl asked, her brown hair in longer pigtails than Isabel.

"Nah, not me. But, I've always been fond of animals. This guy says he likes me too." Isabel answered, leaving the trainer in shock while Kana laughed.

"I haven't learned either, I just went with my gut." Kana provided her answer.

"No way!" The trainer exclaimed in disbelief. Isabel grinned down at her.

"I'm serious! Big Sis, wanna race?" Isabel asked.

"I think Shadow has a race in him. Ready..."

"Set..."

"Go!" Both girls shouted as they urged their horses into a gallop, racing down the pasture. The girls laughed as they raced, Kana and Shadow taking the lead about halfway through.

"Hey, no fair!" Isabel shouted after Kana as a free spirited laugh left the older woman's lips, her dark chocolate brown hair flying behind her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Flagon asked Kana later that afternoon, Kana holding the blades the same way she would hold her knife. "Those blades weren't designed to be held like that. Do you want to die the moment you step outside those walls?"

"Why don't you ask yourself the same question? If you hold a knife during a fight for your life in the Underground City the way you're teaching me how to hold these blades, you're already dead." Kana told Flagon as she walked toward the starting line to begin training with the dummies.

"What was that?!" Flagon asked, his voice giving away his rising anger.

"All I have to do is slice the nape of a Titan's neck, right?" Kana turned to face Flagon. "With all due respect, I'll do it my way." She told him before beginning her training. Two Scouts were watching along with Flagon.

"Was she given any formal training?" The woman asked. The woman had shoulder length dark brown hair that was tied up in an unkempt high ponytail with bangs parted down the middle. She wore thick-rimmed glasses that have bands strapped around her head, glasses which hide her wide, light brown eyes.

"No, I don't believe so." Her male companion replied, turning to look at her. The male had short smooth brown hair parted down the middle and light brown eyes. "I don't think any of the four new recruits had formal training." He jumped a bit when the woman gained an excited expression on her face.

"Good... Very good!" Her male companion gained a startled expression as she continued. "Everything, from how we search for Titans to how we defeat them, is dependent upon individual methods!" She let out a squeal of excitement. "This is getting fun!" She exclaimed. As Kana flew through the trees, her dark hazel eyes scanned the surrounding areas and in front of her for any sign of the targets. All of a sudden, two popped up at the same time. She switched gears, shooting her anchors straight ahead and giving it a bit of gas to speed forward. As she sped forward, she drew her blades, turning them the way she was taught how to fight. As she passed the two Titan training dummies, she sliced both nape targets, twisting a bit in order to get a deep enough cut before shooting forward, moving to the next target as Flagon watched her.

Later on that night, while Erwin and the other leaders were in a meeting, Isabel, Levi and Kana kept watch in different positions while Flagon was searching Erwin's office for the document they were sent to retrieve. Dammit, where is it? I thought this would be easy, considering how little there is here... Farlan thought as he searched the room before starting to pace the room a bit. Just then, the warning signal sounded off, causing Farlan to freeze and look around the office for a place to hide. By the time Erwin reached his office and stepped in, Farlan, Isabel, Kana and Levi were gone, leaving no evidence of them being there. "We won't find it, no matter how many times we turn his office over. It's probably best to assume it isn't in his room." Farlan told the other three.

"Then, where would it be?" Isabel asked.

"What do you do with something you really want to keep safe?" Farlan asked in retaliation.

"You have it on your person at all times..." Kana answered before a sigh left her. "Which means we'd have to kill him first in order to get it."

"Exactly my thoughts, which means we could use the upcoming mission to our advantage. Outside the Walls, Erwin and the others will have their hands full with Titans. We just have to wait for an opportunity." Farlan told them.

"I see... Great idea!" Isabel replied. Kana, however, noticed the look on Levi's face as he glanced down at the floor.

"You okay with that, Levi?" Farlan asked him.

"Sure." Levi answered.

"But?" Kana asked, seeing the hesitation in Levi's eyes. Levi glanced up and straightened up, crossing his arms over his chest.

"But I'm going alone." Levi told them, his posture leaving no room for arguement.

"What?" Farlan and Isabel asked.

"Hell no." Kana replied, only to find that Levi wasn't listening to her.

"You three come up with any excuse to stay behind." Levi continued.

"Bro..." Isabel trailed off.

"Why?!" Kana asked before Farlan or Isabel could.

"We haven't even seen a real Titan yet, and it'll be our first time outside the Walls. It may take all we've got just to make it back alive." Levi responded before a determined scowl crossed his face. "But, if I'm by myself, I'll manage somehow."

"But that's..." Isabel started to argue, but Farlan held up a hand, interrupting her.

"So, what you're saying is that we can't handle it, right?" Farlan asked him.

"That's right. At least, that's how I feel." Levi said. Isbael jumped off of the crate she was sitting on and walked until she was right in front of Levi.

"How can you say that?! You won't know until we've at least tried!" Isbael shouted in argument at him.

"What the hell's wrong with you? It's not like you to loose your nerve like this." Kana continued. Levi stiffened, seeming to grow angrier.

"If you won't stay behind, then we're done talking!" He yelled in response. Isabel and Kana both blinked. "We'll wait for an another opportunity." Levi then began to walk away, Isabel looking at the ground while Kana glared at the wall. What the hell was going on with him. Farlan growled a bit and turned to face Levi as he walked past.

"Levi!" Farlan called after him.

"Wait, Bro!" Isbael added as the trio ran after Levi.

Kana had been the first to spot him. Levi was on the Wall, sitting with one leg dangling over the edge, while the other was bent at the knee, one of his arms draped over it as he looked up at the sky. It was a cloudy night, but a little moonlight still struggled to shine through the clouds, reflecting on his pale, strong featured face in a way that made him look... God-like... Kana felt her heart skip a beat before she quickly shook it off. Why was she thinking this way? She shouldn't be thinking this way, especially not now...

Levi's eyes darted to the side when he heard footsteps, seeing Kana approaching him. She wordlessly sat down next to him, knowing his eyes were still on her as she looked up at the sky. "Where're the others?" Levi asked.

"On their way." Kana answered, not moving her eyes from the sky above her. Levi opened his mouth to respond to her, but was cut off by Isabel and Farlan's voices.

"Bro!"

"Levi!" Both Kana and Levi turned their attentions to their two friends as they joined them, Isbael having her arms crossed over her chest. "Let's talk about this. No matter how I look at it, you going alone is a bad idea. It's a fool's errand!"

"You said that when we first step outside the walls, it'd be all four of us together, right? Have you forgotten?" Isabel asked, reminding Levi of the promise they had made. Levi turned his back to them after a minute.

"It's the same." Isabel and Farlan started in confusion before Levi continued. "Without the moon and the stars, the night is just as dark above ground as below it." Levi told them.

"The color of the sky, sure. But.." Kana trailed off.

"But it's different." Isabel finished. This made Levi turn around to face them. "We know that there's no ceiling! It's completely different!"

"That's right. The sky is endless. It may be the same darkness, but it's different from underground." Farlan added.

"Look." Kana pointed upward. Levi obeyed and looked up at the sky once more, only to find that the clouds were moving, revealing the moon and allowing more of it's light to shine.

"The moon is so bright!" Isabel sat next to Kana while Farlan sat on Levi's other side. "Right? It feels different, doesn't it?" She asked.

"Of course." Farlan responded to her. "We're not underground." They all looked up at the sky.

"We'll never go back down there." Kana added as the four sat together.

(To be continued in part 3 [I've hit the max! 😫😫😫😫] comment and like to tell me what you think)

[urdemonfaunus]

Dedicated to @blake-belladonna-defence-force, for never gettin tired of my requests and always givin me Bumbleby fluff/angst when i most need it. As a fellow writer, i am obliged to return the favor without you asking me. I mean, respect, right??

So anyways.. Uh.. Please enjoy readin :>

Almost (Sweet Music) [Hozier; Bumbleby]

The golden-haired brawler leaned by the bar's counter, her lilac eyes seemed to be caught in some kind of trance. She stared at an enamouring sight not too far a distance. Her partner actually socialized much more now -- talking and laughing giddily with Atlas's huntsmen and huntresses that shared the same interests as her. And, some moments afterwards, the raven-haired beauty even took the opportunity to dance with the members of Team JNR and FNKI.

Yang never felt one end of her lips move upwards, a small smile etched on her mouth as she looked down at the moderately swished beer in her mug. What she did feel, though, was the presence of her younger sister. Lilac eyes that were previously trained in glanced towards the person beside her.

Ruby sported rather a huge grin as she greeted her older sister. "Hey, Yang!"

Faint smile changed into a sly smirk, her yellow-painted prosthesis ruffling the red-dyed hair of Ruby. "Hello to you too, sis." Laughing at her whines and grumbling, Yang settled her lower back once more on the polished counter. "How's your night going so far? Really looking forward with you making a move at Weiss."

The silver-eyed girl blushed furiously as she rubbed the back of her neck. It only made Yang giggle more. "I'm… uh, not…. She's too, um…"

As her voice failed her, her older sister just beamed at her, taking a sip of her beverage. "It's so funny seeing you all flustered up, Rubes." She sighed dramatically and engulfed the shorter girl into a bone-crushing hug. "My baby sister's all grown up and havin' crushes!"

"Yang -- OW -- put me down! Can't -- breathe!" Ruby managed to squeak out, randomly slapping Yang's arms and pushing her head. The blonde laughed once more before acknowledging her sister's pleas. And as soon as she got withdrawn, Ruby inhaled a lot of oxygen deeply to reclaim the lost air in her lungs. "You seriously need to stop doing that, sis. My ribs are already fine as they are, thank you very much."

"See? Ice Queen's really rubbin' off of ya. You can't convince me otherwise." Yang chuckled. Her heart fluttered inside her chest, knowing Ruby can finally focus on something rather than having her mind always scattered all over the place.

Ruby dejectedly sighed. There was no way she can turn this tide back. Arguing with the golden-haired brawler will get her nowhere. Honestly, it's like joking with a bear.

So instead of going against it, the silver-eyed huntress decided to go with the flow of the current.

"Well, what about you, sis? Let's take the spotlight off me and talk about you," Ruby said, a glimpse of slyness hinted in her voice. "Your eyes always seem to be always glued on… say… a certain Cat Faunus?"

The smile on Yang's face was wiped out and was immediately replaced by a dark tint painted on her cheeks. She felt herself sweat slightly from the heat overtaking her body. Her mouth bobbed opened and closed like that of a fish, yet not a single word was spoken. She tried to think of a great retort, but found nothing.

"I-uh… this is so unfair, Ruby! You can't turn on me like that!" Yang finally stuttered and exclaimed. Whilst Ruby just laughed heartily in return.

After that, Ruby continued. "If you really like her that much, might as well do something 'bout it, sis. Don't 'friendzone' yourself, thinking she doesn't deserve someone like you. And when you're flustered -- which is all the damn time -- go through with it. Don't let it stop you."

Yang stood there in shock and awe. Hearing those words coming out of someone younger than her -- especially her sister -- left her with an incredulous expression on her face and her prosthesis theatrically set on top of her heart.

She gasped, exaggeration displayed. "When did you get all so poetic, lil' sis? It scares me, if I'm being honest."

Ruby smirked. "Great then! 'Cause heads up, she's already flagging you down." She gestured towards Blake. Lilac eyes settled on golden ones, watching the faunus wave her hand and smile at her.

Yang swore she heard Ruby tell her something else, but she was ensnared in a trance that made her vision blue everything else but her. Her jaw slackened; her hand holding the empty mug became wimpy and shook. But it wasn't because of the bad, terrible shaking that was left by Adam. It was because of a good, nerve-wracking anxiety this beautiful raven-haired girl gave her unbeknownst to her knowledge.

Once Yang took a deep breath and finally calmed herself down, she placed the mug down on the counter, leaving the bill with it. She sighed hopelessly.

If only you knew what you did to me, Blake -- wHOA!

Her daydreaming was cut off in a rather -- might I say, curt way -- by a random, middle-aged brunet. She tried to reason with him, but was intervened once more. "Go in there, girl! The song's gon' start any minute now." He stated with so much glee, proved by the wide grin on his mouth.

"I -- what?!" was all that Yang could say before finding herself trapped in the middle of the music pub, surrounded by smiling and excited people. Her eyes searched for Blake, and they found her purposefully sauntered near the front row of mixed folks, brandishing a Machavellian grin of her own.

The golden-haired brawler barely managed to register what was happening when the resonating sound of semi-acoustic guitar being strung in a jazzy-folky way, its music just loud enough for everyone to hear. Yang circled the area and saw two figures with visible smirks on their faces. Ruby and Weiss were just beside the long-haired brunet singer plucking his way through the guitar slung over his shoulder, their arms crossed and watching the two love-drunken idiots intently.

Clapping and snapping of fingers soon followed, the familiar song finally having a name. Both of them looked into each other's eyes, already knowing what one meant. They joined in the clapping, feet unconsciously gaining speed steadily. Inches apart, Blake mouthed words at Yang.

Just like we practiced?

Yang smiled and nodded.

Just like we practiced.

I came in from the outside, burned out from a joyride

She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway

Played by the bedside, is "Stella by Starlight"

That was my heart, the drums that start off "Night and Day"

Only two words were able to describe their movements. Graceful and fascinating. At first, the idiots were insecure and not sure about their actions (especially Yang). But after some of the lyrics were sung, both hummed along the tune and began to ease up their tense selves. By the next words, Yang gave up and sang along excellently. Fast movement shifted to a slower one.

Same kind of music haunts her bedroom

I'm almost me again, she's almost you

Blake's golden eyes widened at Yang's voice. She never heard the blonde sing before, so this really was a pleasant surprise. She thought it was sweet -- almost like honey. The raven-haired girl could not contain herself any longer and sang along with her.

I wouldn't know where to start,

Sweet music playing in the dark

Be still, my foolish heart

Don't ruin this on me

Pulling each other's body, foreheads touching and noses brushing, lithe body against well-built, athletic. They repeated several motions, only altering some parts of it to make them look new. Perfect, they both thought. Just perfect.

I wouldn't know where,

I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't

I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't know

The song skipped to their supposedly "solo part". As kinsfolk around them carried on clapping, Yang did the first part. Growing up in Patch, she learned this amazing way of dancing known as Ceili dance. Tapping the heel, ball, and midsole of her boots on the ground quickly, made a thumping rhythm that accompanied the song's beat very well. People gasped and "wowed" as she did all that with her hands behind her back. Even the repressed nerd was amazed by this, garnering a triumphant smirk on Yang's face.

Second part, and Blake happened. With her gifted flexibility and dexterity, her movements were like that of a snow or leaf letting itself be cradled away by the wind. She looked so light on her feet, it was hypnotising. Years of yoga and contemporary dancing showed its resulting fruits.

Watching her made Yang practically melt right then and there. Her knees felt weak and were starting to buckle from the view she was being gifted by the Gods. She felt as if she'd just fallen in love over this elusive faunus all over again.

The Very Thought Of You and Am I Blue?

"A Love Supreme" seems far removed

"I Get Along Without You Very Well, " some other nights

The radio news reader chimes

Reporting "Russian Lullabies"

She'll turn to me awake and ask, Is everything "Alright"

Yang, being the stronger of the two, lifted Blake to the air, earning a yelp and a giggle from her, and so does the people surrounding them. The Cat faunus suppressed her laughs using her hand, meeting lilac eyes as she looked down on her partner. Yang gazed at her lovingly, and she realized something. So… this is what it feels like to be… in love? She asked herself, the grin on her lips fading into a faint smile as she was lost in thought. It feels like… you're on top of the world.

At the realization, her smile returned. Now, it was doubled in size.

I wouldn't know where to start

"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"

Be still "My Foolish Heart, "

Don't ruin this on me…

Chorus was sung over and over again. Final actions were made and done. Yang and Blake both exhausted themselves, for by the last word they were both panting and breathing heavily. They were so close -- Blake's hand resting on her partner's shoulder while the other was held by another warm hand. Yang's prosthesis securely held her in position just on top of her hip. Staring longingly into each other's eyes, the blonde asked for permission. The raven-haired girl just chuckled and sighed.

"Well?" She prompted gently, and Yang was more than happy to oblige.

Leaning in, the taller woman captured the shorter's lips. Soft and innocent, they warmed into each other's touch a few seconds later. Humans and Fauna alike whooped and cheered for the two huntresses. Others were encouraged to do the same thing, while the others just smiled at the scene in front of them.

=\/=\/=\/=\/=\/=

The kiss did not become heated in any way, and after several hours of enjoying the rest of their night off, the bunch of huntresses left filled with joy and love. After all, two new pairs of lovers found a way to exhibit to the world that gender and race do not matter. What really matters?

Love.
