@hxney-lemcn said more cater fics and I am here 2 deliver âď¸âď¸
*ŕŠâŠâ§âË friends kiss, too
type of post: short fic characters: cater additional info: romantic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu, friends 2 lovers ON TOP! a little making out
Every time Cater drags you through one of these things, you ask yourself why you let him, and every time, the answer is the same: he's your best friend, and you love him.
It's the very same reason you let him spam you with texts and annoy you with surprise selfies. It's the reason you rarely hang out with anyone else, because you know it makes him jealous, though he'd never admit that.
It's the reason you're here, now, awake in your room well past curfew.
Despite the threat of a Housewarden who would flay you alive if he caught you and Cater sneaking around in the dead hours of the night, your bestie was absolutely insistent on this all-nighter.
It's a trend on Magicam, he said, and he had, of course, pouted and whined like a sad puppy until you agreed to "support him" by keeping him awake.
By two in the morning, you were more bored than tired.
"Pass. Pass," Cater says, swiping through dating profiles on his phone. "Hm... no, pass."
You sigh and slump against the headboard of your bed. "You've said that word so many times, it doesn't sound real anymore,"
"Ughhhh. Is Sage's Island where hotties go to die? I just want a cute holiday romance!" he exclaims. "Think of the pics!"
You roll your eyes. You'd heard that exact string of words probably ten times in the past few days.
"You can't date someone just for couple photo ops,"
Cater pouts. "Oh, yes I can. I specify "nothing serious" on my profile! It's not like I'm lying!"
Another eye-roll. He's technically right, as always, which just makes you even more annoyed.
But you don't want to get into an argument about the morality of flings right now.
"And it's cold out. Who am I gonna hold when it gets even colder? It's cuffing season, hon,"
Something about the way he says that bothers you. You try not to think about it so much.
"Well, you'll always have me," you tease.
Cater giggles, and sets his phone down on the bed, a subtle way of showing you that you have his full attention now. "Oh? What's this? Sounds like you're offering,"
"Not what I meant," you counter. "I'm your bestie, not your bae."
"Boooo. What are you, a nun? Friends cuddle all the time,"
Again, he's right. He likes being right, and you can see that on him now, too. He has that competitive glow on his face.
You smile. "Sure, sure, but we all know that cuddling isn't what you're looking for,"
Cater gasps, feigning offense with a hand placed delicately over his heart. "I am not that easy! I'm starting to think you really do want me all to yourself,"
If anything, it's the other way around. Since befriending him at the start of the school year, you'd always had the feeling that he took up all your time on purpose. But you don't say that.
"Besides," he goes on. "There are a lot of things that besties can do that are perfectly friend-like. The segregation of romantic and platonic is a totally oppressive amatonormative structure, anyway."
You roll your eyes. "You have got to stop reading those infographics. Do you even know what any of those words mean?"
"Not the point! I'm saying that there's lots of cute stuff we can do while remaining besties,"
He's very enthusiastic about this. You can't tell if it's his penchant for being right, or something more.
"Pfft. Okay. So, what, friends can kiss?"
"Obviously," Cater crosses his arms over his chest, giving you that smug look of his. "Friends kiss, too."
"Then prove it,"
The words that had you had been holding in the back of your mouth for the past few minutes escape before your brain can stop them.
Even Cater, who's never surprised, pales a little.
Your mouth opens, then closes, then opens, again without your thoughts offering any support.
"I didn't mean-"
"Okay,"
You blink. Something hot and cold at the same time runs through your body- adrenaline, anxiety, maybe it's just your own blood heating up at the way Cater leans closer, cupping your face in his hand, his fingers curled under your jaw and thumb gently brushing against your cheek.
His hands are kinda sweaty. You don't really mind, and even if you did, it wouldn't have mattered, because his lips are now sweetly pressing against yours.
You fit together quite nicely. As if he was just meant to kiss you.
It's hard not to think about everything all at once; his warm hand moving to cup your chin and hold you close to him, his hair brushing against your face, the way his lips still linger with spice from whatever he'd eaten earlier...
It's not perfect. But it's him, which is close enough.
Cater pulls away, his breath dancing across your lips, but he gives you no time to recover before he's closer, kissing you again with a sort of heat that matched the taste of his mouth.
He holds your face in both hands, shamelessly pinning you against the headboard and sitting in your lap as if he belonged there, always.
Minutes go by. Maybe hours. You wouldn't have noticed, or cared, either way. When you finally part from one another, it's felt like years.
You feel like an entirely different person. As if the world had ended and begun again in the six minutes you had been kissing him.
Cater sits atop your thighs, panting, his face redder than his Housewarden's hair, that of which would have flayed you both if he were to catch you like this.
Luckily, it's just the two of you.
"See?" Cater finally mumbles, dismounting you and scooting back to where he left his phone. "Platonic."
You're too breathless to argue.
You suppose you'll let him be right again.

I hate the stretch lines in the front of Curly's uniform because that means the devs rushed to make a model in like a month or so and thought "They gotta at least know he has huge knockers, gotta know he's got back pain." Cause like what is the thematic importance of his tits having overhang?
What responsibility is that representing? Breast reduction? It shows an inherent greed in his character due to the excess and heshouldletmeholdone and that he clearly is blinded cause if he tries to look down his damn ladder all he's seeing is his own cleavage.
#this is my curly slander post ig#disclaimer i need you to understand i see all fictional men i like as like butches Curly is no exception#but like they didnt need to add that many polygons to his chest like its unnessary and honestly a little mean he already has so many things#to handle and you expect him to hold those boys up like that just aint right this is like something so stupid but i know you can tell im#having strong feelings about it cause like what was the point why did they survive the fucking crash it has to be a injoke at this point#with the devs it shouldnt make me this mad im turning into a misandrist but only towards large chested men#mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#shitpost#suggestive#ig because this is just about his chest but like also they made him objectively pretty for no reason like yeah like ideal man and work ig#but they went over the extra mile like i have a right to be mad they did that much for a model we see canonically for like two seconds its#crazy actually how little we see of curly pre crash because we also lose his physical movements to help characterize him the way we see#body language with the other characters and how it gives way to their struggles and personalities and sentiments in certain moments#like all he does and how he emotes is stifled by the fact we always play as him until the last moments where he takes over to try and save#the ship and crew and even right before that the scene is so wrought with tension we cant tell what that look he gave Jimmy meant due to#the limitations of the models and how stiff Curly is like was it fear acceptance denial we dont know enought about how he acts himself#to tell and then everything else is charaterized by what Jimmy had done to where we dont really just get to see Curly as himself like Anya#and Swansea and Daisuke we have no idea how theyd act in a regular moment outside of a few glimpses and even then it is them doing#their jobs like grrrr we hate an unreliable narrator but also its the fact jimmy clearly does not interact with them or try to outside of#his position as copilot and then captain harkening back to the entire capitlist view of utility and how he views all of them as useless eve#Curly which fandom tangent the fandom also tends to do to Curly as they base every trait on what they think he failed to do as Captain#between Jimmy and Anya when the QnAs kinda make him out to be a rather open and willing person but still someone who isnt like a push over#just thinking of QnA three where it mentions hes very open to trying new things and you need to be an open minded person to open urself up#to failure like that and ig this is just the weird view that Curly needs to learn that or that theres redemption he needs personality wise#verses healing and learning from trauma like idk its the idea that people assume he did abosultely nothing when the games points out direct#and throught parallels he was taking actions its just wasnt enough and an over focus on absolute inaction vs ineffective methods used to#tackle the issues and themes the game grapples with plus wanting someone to take the blame and have to make it up to Anya even tho#i think it would mean nothing from Curly because she saw his efforts and would be disappointed it wasnt enough but the idea she would#disregard the attempts or not acknoweldge Jimmy as the epicenter compared ot Curly is weird and too focused on someone

Meet my sister P.4-Jude Bellingham
Part.1,Part.2,Part.3
plot: Federico Valverde wants to introduce his younger sister to Jude, his teammate. He hoped that something romantic would be born between them seeing that their characters were perfect together but things take a different turn
The following day, Federico had arranged a special lunch with Jude, Kylian, Vinicius, and, of course, his sister Y/N. Despite the palpable tension between Jude and Y/N, Federico hoped the situation wouldn���t escalate and that everything would go smoothly. He knew how complicated both of their personalities were, and he didnât want his lunch to end with another argument between them.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Y/N was already there, sitting at the table with a radiant smile, completely unaware of Federicoâs concerns. She wore an elegant dress that seemed to fit her style perfectly, her brown hair falling softly around her shoulders. There was something in her demeanor that immediately caught attention, but today she seemed calmer than usual, as if she had decided to take a step back.
Federico approached Jude before he sat down.
"Please, Jude," he said in a serious tone, "try not to argue with Y/N today. I know you two donât like each other, but letâs try not to ruin everything. Itâs important to me that you both behave civilly, at least today."
Jude looked at him, his eyes showing slight irritation. "Donât worry, Iâm not here to fight," he replied sharply. "Iâll try to hold my tongue." But there was no promise in his gaze, only a silent challenge, as if the thought of Y/N was always there, ready to make him react.
Kylian and Vinicius sat down at the table, both smiling, aware of the tense atmosphere but ready to have fun despite it all. The tension between Jude and Y/N didnât go unnoticed, but Federico hoped that with time things might improve, at least during lunch.
Y/N gestured for you to sit next to her, her curious gaze watching you as you took your seat. A faint smile spread across her face, but there was nothing hostile about it. "I hope youâve eaten, Jude," she said, her tone sarcastic as always. "I wouldnât want you to get upset if my order is better than yours."
Jude, who had now taken his seat, slowly turned toward her, trying to keep control. "Iâm not going to get upset over something like that," he replied with a sly smile, "but I hope you donât actually believe your order is better than mine."
Federico sighed, looking between the two of them. The atmosphere seemed charged with almost palpable tension. But, maybe, a little irony and a teasing smile would manage to keep things at least somewhat calm.
---
The lunch continued with an atmosphere charged with tension, but also a certain electricity hanging between you and Jude. Both of you challenged each other with your looks, almost as if it were a game, but while he seemed more serious, you were visibly more entertained by the situation. You couldn't help teasing him, enjoying how he reacted to each of your moves.
When Vinicius started making some jokes, you, without thinking too much, leaned toward him, responding with a light laugh and flirting a bit with his natural charm. "You know, Vinicius," you said with a mischievous smile, "I'd love to see how you move on the dance floor. I see you're good at making girls' heads turn."
Vinicius, always smiling, seemed to appreciate your playful attitude. "Well, Y/N, if you'd like, we can go for a spin once we're done here," he replied, giving you a look that left little room for interpretation.
Jude, who had been watching from a distance, couldn't help but clench his teeth and shoot you a dirty look filled with annoyance and jealousy. Every word that came out of your mouth seemed like a little provocation towards him. There was no doubt you were enjoying making him angry. His expression became harder, but you kept smiling, enjoying the moment.
"I thought you'd be more interested in what's on your plate, Jude," you said, giving him a mischievous glance. "But I see you're distracted." Your voice almost sounded like a challenge, as if you really wanted to test him and see how far he'd go.
Jude stared at you, his look now completely different, darker, and more determined. The annoyance he felt mixed with something deeper, but he would never admit that he found you intriguing. "I donât get how you manage to do all this without losing control," he muttered, his voice sharp.
Meanwhile, Vinicius, who didn't seem to want to miss the chance to keep the atmosphere light, laughed heartily and got involved in the conversation. "I think Y/N knows how to have fun," he said, looking at you with a knowing smile.
But Jude didnât seem amused at all; in fact, his face had grown serious. He continued staring at you with a look that, despite trying to appear indifferent, betrayed a hint of frustration.
Federico, sitting next to you, quickly glanced between the two of you, hoping the situation wouldnât get out of hand. But it was clear now: the challenge between you and Jude was just beginning, and the tension was only going to grow.
---
The tension between you and Jude continued to grow visibly, and soon, the words began to get harsher. While Vinicius and Kylian spoke to each other, trying to lighten the mood with jokes and laughter, you and Jude couldn't hide the irritation you felt for one another any longer.
"What's wrong with you?" Jude suddenly snapped, his tone full of frustration. "Every time I open my mouth, it seems like you have something to say back, donât you realize how annoying that is?"
You raised an eyebrow, amused by his reaction, but without stopping to keep it intimate and provocative. "Oh, really?" you replied, pretending to be surprised. "It doesnât seem like youâre suffering that much. In fact, it seems like you kind of like it, considering you canât stop looking at me."
Jude gritted his teeth, his gaze now burning with anger. He couldnât understand how you could drive him crazy so easily, but a part of him couldnât look away from you, despite everything. "You like testing me, donât you? You thought Iâd let some kind words slip out, maybe?" he retorted, his sarcasm sharp.
"Yeah, that's exactly what I do," you responded with a mocking smile. "I enjoy seeing how you react. It's almost funny, if you think about it."
Federico, who had been trying to stay calm until then, looked around and saw that things were getting out of hand. "Hey, enough!" he intervened, trying to lower the tension. "Please, donât start fighting now. Iâm trying to keep this a civil dinner."
But you didnât stop. Your provocative spirit was too strong, and his behavior annoyed you even more. "But you donât really want to listen, do you?" you shot back at Jude. "Because if you donât like me making you lose your patience, maybe you should look for someone who stays quiet. And I donât think thatâs me."
Jude slammed his fist on the table, his face darker than ever. "You have no idea how badly youâre making me want to completely ignore you," he said, his voice trembling with repressed anger. "But I know that's exactly what you want, right? You want to drive me crazy. Donât think youâll win with me."
"Weâre already in the game, Jude," you replied, your voice deeper and sharper. "And I can see you like playing, at least a little."
Federico ran a hand over his forehead, feeling his heart race. He didnât want everything to end like this, but it was clear that your battle with Jude had just begun. What was supposed to be a calm dinner was turning into a real battleground.
---
When they left the restaurant, the atmosphere was still tense, and despite Federico's attempts to keep the peace, the argument between you and Jude had left its mark. The guys parted ways, heading to their cars to go to training, but the heavy silence that followed was yet another sign that the tension hadn't subsided.
Federico, who could no longer stand the constant hostility between you and Jude, finally exploded. He approached Jude with determined steps, stopping him before he could get into the car. "I can't take it anymore, watching how you behave with her!" Federico burst out, his voice full of frustration. "Every time you two cross paths, it's the same story! I'm asking you to calm down, to stop fighting with her, and all you do is provoke her!"
Jude, who until that moment had tried to keep a facade of indifference, couldn't help but react. "It's not like you think, Federico," he replied, trying to sound calm, but his voice betrayed a defensive tone. "I don't want to argue with her, it's just that... she's unbearable! Every time I open my mouth, she answers like she's trying to challenge me, and you donât understand how hard it is to stay calm with someone like her."
Federico looked at him, his eyes full of disappointment. "You don't get her, Jude. She's just a bit... different. She's an exuberant person, always ready to throw out a challenge, but that doesn't mean you should treat her like an enemy. I know her well, and I assure you, beneath all that attitude, there's just a strong personality. She's not trying to wage war on you."
Jude sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair, trying to contain the anger that continued to burn inside him. "She's driving me crazy, Federico," he admitted, looking at his friend with frustrated eyes. "I don't know what to do. Every time I see her, I feel like I have to be careful with every word I say because I know anything could seem offensive to her, even if it's not. It's like she's always ready to throw her fight at me."
Federico took a step back, trying to think of how to explain things better. "She's not challenging you, Jude. She's not trying to provoke you on purpose. She just has a way of doing things that might seem hard to handle, but I'm telling you honestly: she's just testing you. And as much as you want to deny it, I know something attracts you to her, even if you don't want to admit it."
Jude looked at him for a moment, in silence, as if he were trying to figure out if what Federico was saying made any sense. "I don't know, FedericoâŚ" he finally replied, his tone softer. "But I can't deny that something about her drives me crazy. But I don't even know how to deal with her. She's not the type of girl Iâd expect to meet."
Federico smiled wryly. "Yeah, but maybe that's exactly why you should stop acting tough and try to understand what's behind that facade. She's not just a game, Jude. She's a complex person, and if you really want to have any chance with her, you need to stop treating her like a challenge and start seeing her for who she really is."
Jude remained silent, thinking over those words, but deep inside, he knew that the battle with you was just beginning. A cocky smile slipped out, but there was also a hidden unease. "Weâll see, Federico. Weâll see."

Now that I know that the âwriters roomâ for this season functionally didnât exist, everything makes perfect sense now! So here are some things I would change if I had the chance
1. Weâd have three seasons. Two seasons is just an awkward length for me in general, so 3 just seems like a sweet spot
2. We cut the soundtrack in half. We have 23 songs as of right now, so letâs have no more than 11-13 max. Thatâs not crazy for 9 episodes
3. Speaking of the soundtrack, thereâd be more Black artists. Syd, Little Simz, Tyler the Creator, FKA Twigs, Yseult, JID, Akintoye, Brandy, Doechii etc all wouldâve fit the vibe.
4. Last one about the music, I promise. Itâd be quieter. I feel like the music was louder than the dialogue at some points, and it completely took me outta the scenes
5. Onscreen development! âOh but they donât have to spell everything out for us!â Cool! But wanting to SEE characters meaningfully interact does not fit the definition of âspoon feedingâ or âspelling things outâ in my book.
6. There would have been more foreshadowing that Maddie was a spy. It was obvious, but it also wasnât set up properly.
7. Ekko wouldnât have been sidelined for an entire act. His relationship with Vi would be present. Best believe I would give him the chance to cuss Vi and Caitlyn out for what they did as enforcers
8. Speaking of that, Vi would have wrestled with the decision to become one. Notice I said âdecisionâ because it shouldâve been her choice. Caitlyn had no right to guilt trip her and then strong arm her into becoming one
9. Vi would have fought with Caitlyn over her wanting to use The Gray. The Vi I know and love would not go so hard in rationalizing the use of it
10. Caitlyn wouldâve gotten meaningfully redeemed. In order to do that tho, we would have to show the true weight of using The Gray and enforcing martial law in Zaun. Caitlyn would be forced to confront the harm she caused with her own eyes, and actually be genuine remorseful
11. Let Jinx be unhinged! I love my baby regardless, but I do agree she was defanged a bit this season. Let her kill more enforcers and act up in front of Isha before realizing where she is and what sheâs doing. Let Jinx want to be better and then develop into the kooky version of herself she is in season two
12. Isha would be more than a plot device for Jinxâs story. Let Isha live on and be happy with Jinx. Killing her was just for shock value.
13. Part of the reason why I think Isha should live is so she gets to grow up in a better Zaun. A free Zaun. She deserves better. They all do.
14. The au episode wouldâve been way different, cause it doesnât makes sense for centuries of oppression to just magically go away all of a sudden because one kid(and a Zaunite kid at that) died.
15. More scenes of Sevika guiding Jinx in how to rally the troops and get ready to fight for their freedom
16. Ekko and Jinx reconciling because although thereâs no shortage of bad blood between them, there is love buried deep in there somewhere too. Let Jinx be the main freedom fighter and have Ekko back her up today, so he and the Firelights can focus on community building and organizing tomorrow.
17. Jinxâs rocket shouldâve killed more people. All the Councilors(sorry Shoola but you too girl) except Mel, Jayce, and Viktor shouldâve died. Viktor and Jayce shouldâve been in critical condition but Mel wouldâve been fine.
18. Heimerdinger and Ekkoâs relationship would be fundamentally different. He should NOT be cozying up with that little furball whose inaction is directly responsible for the current conditions in Zaun
Thatâs all that comes to mind for now, but yeah. It wouldâve been a completely different story. What couldâve been for real đđđ
#arcane#arcane season two#arcane critical#how it wouldâve been if i was in the writers room#put me in coach!

ARCANE SESON 2 ACT 3 SPOILERS!!!!
SPOILERS!!! LAST WARNING!!!
Seven things I can't stop thinking about after seson 2
Most of them are about Viktor because he is my favorite character, and I relate to him so bad ...
1. The parallel between Jinx and Viktor...
Inventors with potential
Both wanted good but end up making fucking disaster
Both turned against their loved ones
Both sacrifice at the end ( we don't know if they are dead, but...)
2. No one in their world would be ever know about this
3. Fucking jayvik butterfly
4. The another will in Jace, what Viktor was talking about in act two, was his own... it was Viktor's will....
5. Viktor wearing Jayce blanket... The blanket he gave him in Act 1, he made from it outfit in Act 2 because it's all that left him after Jayce... and he wore it in his final form after Jayce literally killed him... he is so not over him...
6 Viktor giving up, losing everything
They broke him completely that he lost himself, he didn't really work with ambessa he more use them to get what he wanted becouse then he takes control on her warriors too...all he wanted was better world for everyone, he just lose control on his dream, he was blinded... how the fuck he end up like this.... he was in shook when Jayce show him the true, he realized what he doing.. that it is far away from doing good.... he was so kind, good and ambitious men in the beginning... and he still was at the end, deep inside him, and Jayce found it....
7. " But you were never broken, Viktor.... There is beauty in imperfections, they made you who you are "
That line, just burned out into my heart...
I feel like failure whole my life... like I don't deserve love or anything... I feel like... I just so needed to hear that...
I am actually NOT OKAY....
But...
You know, the show is good if it changes your perspective of the world. Viktor and Jayce just improved my perception of word love. No kiss was needed, no s*x scenes and stuff, without it, I can feel their love...
I loved Viktor's character from the very beginning till the very end.. is he perfect ? No. Do I support all his actions ? No. But I can feel that men, I can understand him, and I feel like he would understand me
The only character I relate to more now is Hiccup...( but I relete to him since I was 15 years old so.. ) but Viktor done impossible he gets close to him.. to me....
The show was fucking amazing and I don't know if I finished it or it finished me ...
Music was a masterpiece. the show isn't perfect, but it's really, really good, in my opinion.
This and HTTYD gonna be my favorite movies/series till the day I die...
If arcane or httyd have 0 fans, i am dead ...
What a show....
Who will pay for my therapy....

Because I am gay (see name above) all of my favs are gay but because dc are cowards and refuse to admit that yeah having a character damn near exclusively date redheaded friends and then making both his male close friends redheads is a lil suspicious
I have simply decided that Dick is openly bi and no one has realized it in the universe.(Titans -core 9- and Clark Kent excluded)
So here picture this.
Theyâre all at a diner/batburger/ wherever they chill as civilians. Are they doing important stuff, working on cases, shooting the shit, your choice- Iâm lazy.
And itâs practically empty bc none of them have normal schedules and so yeah you can have lunch at 4:45am thatâs a normal time to eat.
And some dude walks in and Dick just straight up freezes for a sec before hiding under the table. The dude orders to go and fucks off.
Dick gets back up and does a cartoonish âphewâ bc heâs extra
Jason: yo what the fuck was that
Dick: what the fuck was what?
Tim: that- you hiding under the table of our booth??
Dick: oh that
Steph: no shit worlds third greatest detective
Jason: yeah you saw that dude and freaked, I once saw you laugh in banes face and use his forearm as a jungle gym? What gives?
Dick: oh come on! Youâve never wanted to avoid an ex??
*cue spit take from character of your choice*
Steph: AN EX?!?
Dick:??? Yes
Tim looks like heâs seeing god himself parting the clouds, giving him a view of the sun
Jason is just giving Dick the how did I not know this what the fuck dude how could you not tell me stare
Dick looks at each of them: what did you think I only dated babs and Kori?? I have a life outside of our night job?? Right? Like Iâve dated many people who still donât know what I do at night?
Steph: no do how could you not tell us about H.I.M
Dick: I mean he wasnât really all thatâŚnice by the time we hit the three month mark and we didnât have much in common outside of a shared hobby
Tim who was a closeted bisexual for 5 years realizing his first ever idol the first ever Robin also liked boys: .... you dated him for three months?? when?
Dick: I don't know we broke up like 2 months ago
Steph: How was I not aware of this information??
Dick: im sorry would you like detailed information about my sex life??
Jason, traumatised:.... so when I was Robin, you and roy weren't wrestling in the bathrooms..
Dick:.....
Tim:.....
Steph:.....
Dick: yeah Jay no shit?!?
Tim: so you and Wally... were not playing Jenga when I visited
Dick:... you are adults yes? you realise that I as an adult was not going to tell twelve year olds that I was getting laid?
Steph: Dickie DIckie baby.... we knew you were fucking
Tim: true
Jason: unfortunately
Steph: we just didn't know you were also fucking men
Dick:....
Dick massaging his temples: okay so.... you know I have a thing for redheads and I notoriously befriend my exes.
Tim: yep
Jason: mhm
Dick: and none of you thought for a second that my two redheaded best friends who both have a type aka Dark haired and can do a backflip... and just decided we were totally Hetero besties
Steph: yeahhh I mean...
Tim weakly: you guys just seem
Jay: like friends
Dick deadpan: Lian still calls me dad sometimes and Wally and Linda keep asking me to swing or join a throuple.
steph: fully believed they were joking high key tho
Dick: okay, okay... so the way that I talk about Joey Wilson... just didn't tell you anything?
Jay: okay that one... was my bad actually y'all were hella gay
Tim: hey! that's no fairrr we werent there
Dick: you broke into my house Tim, you literally stalked me
Tim: that's not the same and you know it.
#jason todd#batfam#batman#nightwing#dick grayson#comics#batfamily#tim drake#stephanie brown#incorrect batfamily quotes#bisexual Dick Grayson agenda#imagine being Tim and finding out that your idol was queer#id kill myself#personally#Tim realising that he accidentally found koris strap when he broke in the first time#Tim gags a little#he also thanks god he was too hyper fixated on flips and hero's to figure out this info#Jason has to try and kill roy now

Because Evan-
(Itâs a long oneâŚsorry not sorry đ)
OkayâŚ. Iâve been rewatching some old Buddie scenes because of the potential of Eddie moving back to El Paso andâŚ. excuse my language butâŚ. What the fuck?
Itâs like the writers are new or donât know what to do with Eddie anymore. Or like someway, somehow the episodes are out of order.
In THAT scene, Buck asks âhe has grandparents, familyâ and Eddie replyâs âAfter Shannon left, they tried to guilt me into giving Christopher to them. It wasnât what I wanted then, itâs not what I want now.â They then both agreed that no one would fight harder for Chris than Buck.
So WHY THE FUCK havenât either of them gotten him back yet??
Eddie started season 7 with Marisol and Chris and everyoneâs fine. Then Chris is dating multiple girls (Eddie is baffled and doesnât know how to handle it so he asks Buck for help) and said it has to do with his mom to Buck and we get that EMOTIONAL shot of Eddie devastated after hearing this. Then proceeds to give him a letter to bring about closure for him. Eddie seemed to already have closure or at least repressed it.
Then Eddie meets KimâŚ. And the Eddie we have loved for 6 seasons is IMMEDIATELY GONE. He does the exact same thing that he told Buck about Christopher was not okay And needed to be fixed (he was BEGGING Buck for help).
Like, my dude, how did you think this was gonna go? You kept everyone in the dark. Your son, your best friend, your GIRLFRIEND and even Kim! What was his end goal? It doesnât make any sense.
Like I understand that if Gavin wasnât gonna be around next season, and you need to write him off but have him potentially come back, there were several ways you could have done that but still kept true to the characters. Have Chris go to a boarding school. Or a school trip. Or literally ANYTHING ELSE! Then season 8, keep the Kim storyline, but Chris is already gone and doesnât witness it. Cause now that whole confession thing with Kim pretending to be Shannon and actually get closure was pointless. If theyâd done that with Chris gone, heâd have the closure. Work on the PTSD crawling back up in an empty house, keep the Priest and finding Joy and then keep that for a bit and then heal.
That was a whole side tangent really for the main point I was trying to make, but why does Eddie- lose Chris, grow a mustache, grieve for not having his son, have an episode where a Priest says âlet yourself have Joy,â then take it away in the next couple of episodes by saying âIâm thinking of moving to Texasâ based on the words of a psycho actor??
Chris is a TEENAGER! Hell- he might still be a preteen, grow the fuck up and go parent your son. Youâve put your foot down before, why is this any different?? After a few weeks, I would have been like ânope, weâre done with this. I get I fucked up, but Iâm still your dad so we are gonna talk about this and figure out some common ground.â I understand feeling guilty and not wanting to push him even farther away but youâre not even trying! Phone calls donât show âI want you here with me,â it says âIâm okay with you being gone.â
Youâre thinking moving to El Paso is a great idea⌠but itâs not. Your parents suck. You know this. YOU MOVED HALF WAY ACROSS THE US TO GET AWAY FROM THEM FOR A REASON! I get you patched things up slightly, but not enough.
ALSO! Why wasnât Buck an option?!? Because of Tommy? I get because Gavin being out of the show(temporarily?) would have made that impossible but why wasnât it even mentioned? I mean, Heâs run to him before, heâs called him when Eddie had his breakdown and Chris didnât know what to do. But like THEY HAD THE WILL, why wasnât it even a factor in this. At the time, it felt like, at least to Chris, that Eddie was incapable of taking care of him, which means that Chris should go to Buck. Not his grandparents.
I just donât understand what they are doing with these two. E and C. Bucks got his bisexual journey(relationship with Tommy). Bobby has multiple storylines. The Hans had the Mara and new baby storylines. Hen and Karen had the Ortiz/Mara and Denny/Halloween storylines. Athena has literally any storyline involving cops. And all those storylines make sense for each character. Eddieâs and Chrisâs doesnât. They keep pushing Eddie to be sad then happy then making stupid decisions. DEVELOP YOUR FUCKING CHARACTER! Youâve been dropping the ball since at least the network switch. Which I find super funny because yes, he does the emotional scenes super amazing but now it seems like his character is more open. Heâs making more funny faces, heâs got the loose hair, he makes comedic jokes. But heâs almost(so close) to reminding me of Buck 1.0.. but it doesnât fit with the storyline at all. At least to meâŚ
Like does anyone agree with any of this? Am I just seeing things? Did the writers get told Gavin was leaving too late and made this story on the fly and rolled with it? Does Ryan want out of the show and they are keeping it under wraps? Like WHAT IS HAPPENING? Make it make sense!
Ps. I did not proofread this before posting so if something doesnât make sense, let me know. I was just trying to get down all my thoughts on this. Currently me vvv

a little late to this game and I can't even give my full notes like the previous two times (I'm at work and can't do the second watch through I do to take note of my thoughts) but I would like to scream regardless, sp here are a few disjointed thoughts and feelings I'm screaming into the void!
as always, spoilers for arcane, the final act, under the cut
-LESBIAN SEX LETS GO WE FUCKINGGGG WOONNNNNNNNNNNNNN đđđđđłď¸âđđłď¸âđđłď¸âđđłď¸âđđłď¸âđđłď¸âđđłď¸âđ
-but on a serious note for that thought, I'm so fucking happy that we got to have this. these two complex, beautiful, awful amazing women who are unapologetically queer and finally get their shit together to realise, the world isn't gonna wait for us, let's have sex, let's enjoy it. the fumble that vi makes with caits fancy belt, the delicate and healing way that cait holds and undresses vi, the full shot of vi's back tattoo, the fact that they can't keep their hands off each other and can't stop smiling! fuck! this was everything to me if you couldn't tell. also so much appreciation to the fact that this scene is an exact parallel to their first meeting!
-yes Mel get it with your sexy golden magic. I can't wait for the spin off series that will come from thus show cus I think it'll explore the black Rose and noxus war and I can't wait to see more of them!
-cait fighting desperate and dirty while still being so smart you have my heart (also cait with an eyepatch, fuccckkkkkkkkkk
-Maddie's betrayal lol, and the thanks for the warmth, bitch what warmth, cait was so mean to you even when you were sleeping together đ
-the alternate reality???? oughh, oug oww, I need to lie down and cry for a whole week about that. everyone being alive except vi??? that shit hurted. also, domestic and therapised powder was everything I didn't know I needed and I'm so glad that when ekko figured out the anomaly that that timelines ekko came back to her. timebomb so cannon (also adore ekko for this entire act, every single second of it)
-jayvik mutual destruction is so them actually, and I'm glad they were together in the end. also sorcerer older vik had to be my favourite of his character designs. he looks so soft and at peace
-ambessas death is really not something I though we would see, or at least not in the way that it happened. but it's almost bitter-sweet that her death was nesacary for Mel to graduate to wolf in her eyes
-look, heimerdingers sacrifice was cute and heartfelt, but I really didn't have any attachment to the guy and was just glad that ekko made it home. very cute little song though
-Jinx is fucking dead and I hate it. yes it was in character, she did her one last good thing and just wanted to rest, but damn why did it have to be like that , but on the other hand, it leaves open the spot for powder to take hold of the narrative, because don't think I didn't see those hextech gems girl. she is everything to me and I really hope she's apart of whatever story comes next (I'm praying that powder gets to see vi all grown up, and that her older sister is okay, and that vi gets to see powder, the girl she might have been, and also that vi can see her brothers all grown up) (but that's all just wishful thinking)
-btw!! I always had faith in the writers. I love how this season came out on the full. it's absolutely amazing to me how they have managed to create on of if not the highest quality animated TV show ever. it was admittedly rushed, and I would have loved to see all these plot threads tugged at thoroughly before being tied up, but I still think what we got was a masterpiece
-jayce I did not like you in season one but I loved you in season two, and I held out hope that we would see why you did what you did, and it was so fucking perfect I would like to kick all of the jayce haters, just a little in the shins
-back to Jinx, it was genuinely so heartbreaking to see her catatonic over the loss of Isha and I hope they're together again now
-final form (herald) vik was pretty cool I like how it looked compared to his LoL design
-cait and Mel team up was something I didn't know I needed but damn it was good. the gays and girl kissers were eating well this weekend
-the animation of powder and ekko dancing? think I'll just go cry for another week for that alone, and their kiss!!??!? screaming crying
okay that's all I can think of for now. I may post more, I may not. I will absolutely be reposting like crazy though. agree or disagree with me, I want to hear your thoughts!
#lesbian#arcane#arcane season 2#arcane season 2 spoilers#arcane spoilers#caitvi#piltovers finest#timebomb#jayvik#screaming crying throwing up#im not okay after this and will proceed to watch the entire show at least 3 times through

ok your arcane blogging has almost convinced me to watch the show because it seems WILD and also, visually STUNNING like wowww
but I have absolutely no idea what the show is even about, could you give me a summary? (also what streaming service is it on?)
Yessss excellent! The show is indeed fucking nuts and also visually stunning. Just. Goddamn. Every single episode had moments of us going "that looks so pretty" and/or "holy shit that looks so fuckin sick"
It also does some of the best visual storytelling outside of the Spiderverse movies. They do so much playing around with 2D looking effects and light bursts, with music that slaps and is also used to create in-story sort of music videos to help drop character backgrounds and establishing where people are in episodes, which helps them handle the many characters really well!
Also the animation of micro-expressions in this show makes me lose my mind. I'm sure you've seen the gifs all over my blog and how much facial animation there is in them lmaoo
Good news is it's finished after 2 seasons, which I like as someone who prefers shows that don't just kind of go on for forever. It could have been 3-4 seasons but they did great nailing a rare mix of a plot AND character focused story that had a ton of moving pieces.
You also don't need to know shit about LoL and from what I can tell, it was more used as a base for the world setting and the first building blocks for the characters. They take advantage of the pre-made world really well and do this immersive style of world building where you may not know what all is going on in this world, but you can really tell that it's there and developed you know? But character lore wise we all tried to predict season 2 based on the original lore and then got cold clocked by how the basic character beats actually played out so. Yeah. The most video game aspect of this is the character designs and the FULL embrace of "what if this lady had a big glowing cyber arm she punched things with and what if it was the coolest shit you've seen."
As for what it's about...theme wise big points are
- love as both a destructive and restoring force, especially love between family and friends
-forgiveness and how one draws the line on what going too far means
-self perpetuating systems of classism that can pull even well meaning actors into being oppressors, and even how different forms of rebellion can begin recreating the oppression they're rising against (there are arguments on how this got handled in season 2 but I don't think there's any really solid storyline way to handle such heavy themes)
- the unexpected consequences of chasing progress as an ideal
-big buff hot women who punch!!!!!!! Women who are yoked!!!
-making you kind of hate how much you like that imagine dragons song
-beat drops that make you yell "LETS FUCKIN GOOOOO"
Plot wise it's about:
Set in a trippy art deco/art nouveau punk aesthetic city that has technology and where magic exists, but has been considered dangerous and only used by mages born able to harness it. Scientists learn how to access magic via mechanical and chemical technology. This causes a lot of problems. It mostly follows two sisters caught within the volatile time, along with a central cast from multiple parts of the city.
It's streaming on Netflix!
#watch arcane#be prepared for needing a tissue box and for being upset for all these people#and also everyone is hot but visually distinct its so good

Having spent time now with the full series I still donât feel the pacing issues other people seemed to have with it.
I get that as the episodes are releasing and we only have 3 a week and donât have the full picture of what theyâre planning it can be really easy to feel lost and confused.
But now knowing where they were going, a lot of those supposed ârushed plot linesâ people were complaining about make sense. The importance of the Black Rose stuff now makes sense because itâs Ambessaâs entire motivation for why sheâs doing the things sheâs doing. It makes sense to take Ekko and Jayce out of the plot briefly when they visit the hexcore cuz that forces Ambessa to side with Singe. It makes sense why the Warwick stuff was being set up because that ended up being the catalyst to propel Viktor into being the Machine Herald.
Also, it makes sense now why Piltover and Zaun played such an important role in being the stage for where THIS story was set. I get people wanted the show to be more about the inequality, but the inequality was always just the set dressing for the main characters to be in and was never the central focus of the show. Not even back in season 1.
Like back in season 1 the inequality helped explain the characters motivations, but the central core message the story was telling was how people compromised their morals with good intentions only to achieve terrible results.
Jayce built Hextech to help the undercity and he ends up using it against them. Viktor obsesses so much over fixing his disease that he compromises and takes shimmer and in the process Sky dies. Silco dreams of a free Zaun, but it results in him essentially becoming a drug lord and harming the people of Zaun more than helping them. Caitlyn breaks Vi out of prison to help her hunt down Jinx, and in the process of having Vi return into her life inadvertently causes Jinx to double down and attack the Piltover council.
Inequality was a setting and a backdrop, but the show was never focused on resolving or exploring those issues much deeper than it was.
Also, about that pacing.. have you guys gone back and rewatched Season 1? The first 2 episodes are pretty chill with the pacing, but episode 3 goes crazy. And so does episode 4 and 5 and 6⌠like the pacing gets wilder and wilder as the season goes on until towards the end we are jumping from Silco reeling from nearly getting killed by Sevika to having a friendly discussion with Jayce on the bridge to being captured by Jinx. Itâs FAST guys. Breakneck speed.
I will also say that rewatching season 1 gives me an appreciation for a lot of the parallels they had in season 2 that I missed. Things like âRemember Meâ being the theme to when Vander attacks Silco back in season 1. Or like how when AU Powder appears on the dance floor with Ekko mirrors how Jinx approached him on the bridge in Season 1 Episode 7. Or how Jayce and Viktor invented Hextech floating up on the ceiling, and the series ends with the two floating in the ethereal plane together.
I maintain that a lot of these criticisms about season 2âs pacing are not as bad as some people think they are once you take the whole series together as a whole. Without that 3 year gap or the wait between episode drops, the whole series blends together much more seamlessly.
And then thereâs like⌠season 2 episode 7? That episode stops all the forward momentum and resets our expectations. It provides us with context for some of the stuff we had seen and helps us understand the stakes going forward. When people are complaining the series is going by too fast I just canât agree because that episode exists and it literally stops us in our tracks before ramping up again.
I understand that some side characters outside the central 7-8 mains werenât fully developed much and that is definitely a valid criticism of the show⌠however I would also remind people that season 1 had a similar problem. Grayson was a fascinating character I wish I knew more about, but outside of a small cameo in episode 5 sheâs just gone out of the series forever and nobody brings her up again ever. We never learn much about Huck. We never learn what happened to Clagger and Myloâs parents. We never learn anything about Finn and what he did. We never learn more about the robot council member or the woman who has a clock on her neck. There are a LOT of characters who just never come back at all in season 1.
I dunno guys.. the more I digest this series the more many of the criticisms feel unfounded or a real reach for something to complain about.

Losing My Mind Over Veilguard 6/?? Aka the Dread Wolf Double Bind
These posts are getting up here in number (yes ma'am that is 1 2 3 4 5 instances of me not being able to get my shit together and coming back again for more)
and quite frankly there's nothing I can do about it until the "we've been treated and tormented by this game" demon has been exorcised from my body, so here we go again.
Today I give to you:
(Modeled after Inquisition Solas and his sad, bald-ass basset hound mage bum glory becuase I think it's important that newcomers know exactly who his fans fell in love with/who inspired his enemies to conduct speed-runs to punch him. Yassified Solas ran only because this mangled membranous man crawled first)
Part of what's making me lose my mind here, I've discovered, is a strange sort of survivor's guilt where everything I really like or really hate about Veilguard can be traced back to Solas and I don't know how to deal with it because we've never had such a divide before between one character getting ALL the content and everyone else from their game being left in the absolute dust.
Disclaimer: Yeah, no one from Origins has had more screen time across games than Morrigan at this point, and therefore no one has gotten more robbed of the substance of their character, but even the damage done to her wasn't the kind that warped an entire game. No, the devs saved that all for the Dread Wolf in the Room.
Even putting it down on paper and comparing the two in-game versions of him, it took me a second to work through why I'm so conflicted, but I think I've finally settled on a few key points.
Concern #1: Solas Haters Were Robbed.
Part of the allure of Solas is that if you want to punch that man in the face, you're gonna get the chance to punch him in the face. Is that my personal preference? No. But in a game where your companions are built to make you think instead of letting you turn your brain off, you're bound to have personalities that clash against yours. To have such a non-descript-looking iambic-pentameter-talking apostate be able to inspire strong emotions across the whole spectrum of players was part of his appeal. Now, as far as I understand it, you have four options at the end of Veilguard.
1. Solas lives and he might actually not hate himself some day.
2. Solas lives and he's absolutely going to write a diary entry a night about why he hates himself.
3. Solas lives and he's going to write a diary entry a night about why he hates YOU.
4. Solas lives and you better hope he never again figures out how to live in your general vicinity
Do you see my concern here? I, shamelessly, can admit that I would do unspeakable fictional things to get that man his happy ending (within reason...mostly...), but I feel like the game took the opportunity away from the players who threw that knife in their map at the end of Trespasser and vowed to take a bitch down for stealing their best armor and waxing poetic about the Grey Wardens while seemingly sitting on his ass and having no inclination to stop the blight (help). This, then, leads me into my second issue.
Concern #2: The Game Refuses to Give Solas room outside of its own agenda
In the near-decade it took for Solas to slip back into his trickster god persona, he seems to have forgotten why he began his quest to tear down the veil in the first place. I like that Rook gets to experience the version of our favorite hard boiled egg that near-singlehandedly tore down several empires by being an absolute terror to those with bigger egos. I like that new players are going to hear Solas tell them that they've earned his respect and actually believe it until they inevitably get their first taste of ancient elven betrayal. What I don't like? When a nuanced yearning for a world in which three majorly mistreated groups (spirits, elves, mages) would be free from many of the constraints that enabled their oppression suddenly becomes "I am doing this because if I don't I have betrayed my friend. Which friend you ask? Oh, the one that was on board with my plan until it no longer suited the story."
The combo of few characters from previous games and a sanitized near-blank slate for the setting of this game was deadly to one of its best-written characters. Because of it, Solas is forced to abandon his double-speak, the joy he takes in giving you scraps of an answer that, by the time you get it, you will already have missed the chance to piece it together from separate clues that he ALSO dropped. He's not going to get to show you the loyal followers the epilogue of Inquisition made clear that he has, because the game wants to usher you into the new future of the series. You're not going to get to ask him (or any NPCs for that matter) a bunch of questions so that you can form your own opinion of him, because all that matters is that he isn't Elgar'nan or Ghilan'nain so let's move along, shall we?
Because the game needs exposition and a foil to its two other baddies, and needs it FAST, the mythic Dread Wolf becomes a plot device designed to get you where you need to go when you need to be there. It doesn't work purely for that reason alone, at least in my opinion, but it gets so much worse when a game that promises you that it's going to work for players new and old relies on someone experienced players want a personal reckoning with to guide every Rook through the game only to realize that those questions of morality regarding whether the veil is torturous for a subjugated few or the only thing preserving most of life as we know it are going to have to remain questions.
You don't get a choice of whether Solas is in your party or not, and you can't advance in the game without talking to him. You don't get to choose not to impress him. You don't get to choose whether you're going to work with him in the final battle, and as previously mentioned, your only real choice in how his story ends is one of four options in which he lives every time in varying states of self-loathing. You're still going to love him or hate him, but just how strongly you're able to show those feelings towards him is severely curtailed. And that's an absolute shame for a character that commanded such fierce attention.
And that's where, ultimately, I find myself with a weird amount of survivor's guilt.
When I finished my Veilguard playthrough, I had barely a moment to fully contemplate the amount of whiplash and disappointment I felt going from a Solas that I had spent almost a decade knowing to a One Dimensional Fen'Harel who threw out his core values and goals like they were chilling in a cup of tea before. Why? Because I very quickly felt guilty. And then I got angry for feeling guilty!
The game's failure to adequately represent its other characters and lore has created a world in which I don't like the Solas we've been given, but I can't live without him either. Who am I to complain that his most complex and compelling features are gone when other players are mourning the fact that the last they may ever hear of their favorite character is reduced to a scrap in the codex? How can I be frustrated at how the Lavellan reunion scene goes down when other players would kill for the chance to have their Inquisitor seemingly give any sort of shit about being in the game aside from being told it was mandatory to earn participation points? How can I lament the fact that his storyline seems to share all the wrong lessons to be learned from a toxic friendship rooted in a never-equalized power imbalance when someone else is watching Morrigan pull a complete 180 and wondering why the fuck they spent so much time researching whether or not her accepting her mother's choices as her own was what she truly wanted? At least Solas still loves Lavellan, even though we needed to ask Trick Weekes several follow up questions just to double check. At least Solas gets more in the epilogue than one empty "we remember the heroes that came before" platitude.
And to suddenly fear any appearances of past characters from a studio that used to make me stay up theorizing about how a character might grow and evolve and continue to impact the world I helped shape? It's depressing as hell, and it's why I was too scared to get attached to any of the new companions once I finally got past the writing and lack of complexity.
The people that hate Solas, deserved better.
The people that valued what he brought to their Inquisitor's small but strong group of friends deserved better.
The people that love Solas more than Sera loved pissing him off deserved better.
And new players, who had a chance to engage with one of the most powerful storylines in the game and instead got a heaping dose of Deus Ex Machina Lite, deserved better.
If taking a character that had the potential and power needed to shape an entire continent and banishing him one of four different ways to Fade jail so that the book could quickly be closed on a years-long legacy is what the studio is calling a return to their roots, I'll stick with the efforts of fans to create art and theories that aren't afraid to double down into what actually keeps people coming back for more.

Part 1
Jensenâs P.o.V
Jensen watched you walk away in Ruthieâs arms. He turned to Jared and sighed. âExactly how much of that did you hear?â
âWell, I came in around blackmail. What the fuck is going on Ackles?â Jensen explained everything to him. Jared stood there in shock. âThatâs pretty much the same look (y/n) had on her face too.â
âSo, when you two told me you ended it because you were better as friends...â
âYes Jared. We lied to you. Hell, we lied to everyone. I didnât want to be painted fuckboy Ackles, and she didnât want everyone feeling sorry for her. So, we lied.â He said again. âIâm sorry Jared.â
Jared took a second to process everything. âWe tell each other everything. Why did you feel like you couldnât tell me this?â
âI. I donât know man. I think I was just too ashamed. I didnât want anyone to know.â
âWhere and when did this happen?â
âYou remember that party we went to right before the hiatus between season 7 and 8?â
âYeah⌠That was 2012, right?â Jared asked, trying to remember.
 Jensen nodded. â(y/n) had to leave early because the wreck, remember?â
âThatâs right. But to be honest I was really drunk, and it was a long time ago.â Jared shook his head. âWhat I donât get Jay. You were going to ask her to marry you the next day. I went with you to buy the ring. I donât see you throwing away everything you guys had drunk or not.â
âJared, I donât remember anything from that night. I remember dropping off at the airport. Next thing I know is Iâm waking up in a strangerâs bed naked.
âYou donât remember it at all?â
âNope.â Jensen gestured for them to go inside. âI tried Jared. I tried to find her during hiatus. She wouldnât return my phone calls. No one would tell me where she was. Then Kelsey called me telling me she was pregnant and started with the blackmail.
âDude again why didnât you tell me?â
Jensen sighed. âI didnât want her to have any more power than she already had. If she knew that you knew she could use me to get you to do whatever she wanted.â
âHow did she do it? Like what did she threaten you with?â Jared asked as they made their way to the elevator
âMedia mainly. Before she lost the baby, she threatened to go to everyone and anyone that would listen about how I knocked her up and left her and the baby. Then after, Iâd be the asshole that left the mother after just losing the baby. I was young and just starting out. I believed everything she said. You know how one dumb rumor can ruin someoneâs life or career. I just wish I would of went to my dad sooner.â
âI wish you would have told me, but I understand why you felt like you couldnât. Iâm sorry I should have known something was wrong.â He hit the call button
âJ.P Donât do that; you have nothing to be sorry for. You wouldnât of had a reason to doubt anything, from what I hear Iâm a pretty good actor.â He smiled. Jared let out a soft chuckle âbesides we canât change the past. We can only learn from it, move on, and try to repair the damage.â
âYea... At least she knows the truth now. Maybe you guys could get backâ
âIâm not.â
âJensen. I was going to say get back to being friends.
âI donât know Jared sheâs pretty hurt and didnât say much even after I told her.â
âGive her time to process everything. You might be surprised.â The doors opened and they walked through, hitting the button with their floor number.
âIâm not getting my hopes up.â Just then Jensenâs phone went off. It was a text from a number he didnât recognize. He raised his eyebrows as he read.
âWhat?!â Jared asked.
âJensen donât call Eric. Just think about it.â
âWell told ya you might be surprised.â
Readerâs P.o.V
You woke to a knock on your hotel door. âGo away!â you yelled.
âI have coffee.â You heard someone yell back.
âOk hold on.â You rubbed your temples trying to get the slight headache to stop as you sat up. You got up and looked in the mirror. You quickly ran a brush through your hair and splashed some cold water on your puffy eyes.
There was another knock. âCome on, itâs getting cold.â
âKeep your panties on.â you yelled as you walked to the door. âLily? What are you doing here? Howâs your dad?â you opened the door wider and stepped out of the way.
âMy dad is fine. Just a broken wrist.â She handed you a cup of coffee stepping through the doorway. You closed the door behind her. âThe truck not so much, but it could have been way worse.â
âWell, thatâs good. But what are you doing here?â
âRescuing you.â she said sitting down on the sofa.
âFor real?â
âYep, youâre off the hook babes. You can go home.â She looked up from her coffee. âWhatâs that look?â
âWhat look?â
âThat look. He got to you.â
âLily. Itâs not like that.â
âUgh I knew you coming here was a bad idea. I swear Iâm to kick.â
âLil. I have to tell you something.â You sat beside her and told her everything.Â
âOh my god.â
âI knowâ
âOh my god!â
âCan you say anything else?â
 âSo, he didnât love her.â
âApparently not.â
âI thought something felt off, but I just thought it was the energy from whatever happened between you two.â
âLily youâre not psychicâ
âBut I am psychic adjacent.â
You rolled your eyes. âThatâs not a thing.â
âWait. Not trying to be a Debbie downer here, but how do you know he wasnât lying?â
âHe wasnât lying.â you assured her.
âHow do.â
âBecause I know Lil.â She looked at you. âTrust me I know.â
âOh my god. So does this mean yâall are gonna get back together?â
You sighed. âLily, I canât.â she gave you a puzzled look. âdonât look at me like that you know why.â
âRight.â She took a drink of her coffee
âYou still love him...â
âDoesnât matter.â
Jensenâs P.o.V
As he waited to go through the curtain for the morning gold panel, he couldnât help but wonder if she would be sitting in her seat. He smiled at the thought.
âYou ready man?â Jared asked. He nodded. âLetâs go.â
They walked out on-stage waving and blowing kisses at the crowd. His eyes glanced down hoping to see her face. Nope damnit. The women sitting her sitting in (y/n)âs seat waved. He furrowed his brows but waved back. What the hell was Lily doing here. Did (y/n) leave?
âJensen you ready for questions?â
âYes, sorry. Need more coffee.â He said the cup in his hand with a smile, the audience laughed. âAlright, your blue hoodie.â
. She left and the only relationship you would have at this point would be professional. Come on Jensen head in the panel he thought
âJensen? You ok man? âJared asked nudging his arm
âYep. What was the question?â
Jared repeated it to him, and he did his best to answer it. As the minutes ticked by and the questions kept coming, he tried his best to stay focused. He managed it for most of the panel except when Jared got a question and his mind started to wander, but Jared knew what was going on, so he tried to keep Jensen engaged in conversation with his answers.
âAlright. Thank you, guys. We love you all. Take care.â They walked to the opening of the curtain. âOk how bad was it?â
âThe beginning was rocky, after you got out of your head it was bad at all.â Jared promised him. âYou gonna be, ok?â
âGonna have to be.âÂ
Jared sighed. âIs there anything I can do?â
Jensen smiled. âUnless you got a Jennie, not reallyâ
âSo, you boys have some time before your meet and greet. Yâall hungry?â
His whole body froze. She didnât leave.
Readerâs P.o.V
Jared spun around, â(y/n) we thought you left.â
You took a step back and raised your hands. âDo not pick me up Padalecki!â
He laughed. Jensen finally turned around.
Jared could feel the tension between the two of you. âletâs go get some grub.â He turned around and started walking. You and Jensen followed.
You and Jensen followed in awkward silence.
âSo have you thought about the part?â you asked Jensen
âYea. I think it would be fun. He is a complete dickhead though.â
âOh, a total scumbag, but.â
âYouâre really going to defend him?â
âI agreed with you.â
âWith a but.â
âBen is the character you love to hate. You know heâs fucked up and yet you find your self hoping he will do the right thing. Who knows maybe this whole asshole thing is just a front.â Jensen raised his eyebrows at you. âThe guy has ptsd, been tortured by the Russians for years, screwed over and used by Vought, screwed over by his own team and the woman that supposed loved him. I think if we got the right guy to play him, he could be a real fan favoriteâ You nudged into him.
âWhy do you have such a hard on for this character?â he asked as he opened the green room door for you.
You took a step, then turned to him âI guess I just have a thing for assholes.â Â You teased.
Jensenâs jaw dropped. âWow! That was a cheap shot.â
You walked to the fridge and pulled out 2 bottles of water, tossing one at Jensen. He caught it and took a drink.
âPlus, youâd look good super suit, Ackles.â You said laughing as you sat on the couch.
He chuckled and sat beside you laying his arm across the back of the couch behind you.
You heard the door open and looked up when you heard your nickname. âBabes! Youâre still here?!â Misha sat down on the other side of you. âAnd still wearing that Cowboys hat I see.â He flicked the bill of your baseball cap.
âBe careful Collins. If you hurt this hat I will hurt, you.â You pulled the bill back down and stroked it. âAnd yes, every game day.â
âIs that the one you stole?â Jensen chimed it.
âI did not steal it.â
âYes, you did. You came to grab me for a scene.â He winked at you âYou asked to borrow it because you didnât have a scrunchy.âÂ
âIâm still borrowing it.â
â10 years later?â Jensen raised his eyebrows.
âYep.â
He smiled and shook his head.
Before you could stop it, the memory was already replaying in your head.
Year 2008:
âWe gotta get back babe, Sgriccia said 25 minutes.â
âI donât want to.â You protested.
âTrust me. Iâd rather lay here with you like this.â He lifted the sheet for a peek âCome on just a couple of scenes and we will be right back here. Exactly like this.â He waggled his eyebrows making you smile.
âPromise?â
He smiled. âI promise.â He kissed you. He got up and picked your clothes up and laid them on the bed.
 You got dressed and looked in the mirror. Your hair was a wreck. âCan I borrow a hat?â
âA hat?â
âYes, someone made my hair all messy.â You pointed at him and mouthed the word you, making him laugh. âI donât have a brush or scrunchy to fix it and I know your ass has a million hats around here.â He handed you his new Dallas cowboyâs hat. âThank ya love.â He nodded with a smile.
âYou ready?â he asked holding out your coat for you.
âYep.â You put your arms in and turned to face him. He gave you one more kiss. âI love you, Ross.â
âI love you too baby.â
Jensen cleared his throat bringing you back. You looked at him, his eyes told you he was reminiscing as well. You shot up off the couch and awkwardly walked over to the fridge. You opened it and pretended to look for something.
âLook who I found.â Abby said walking through the door with Lily following her. âDid we plan a reunion this weekend?â
You smiled. âDonât even try to pretend like you donât love seeing our faces, Abigail.â She narrowed her eyes as you said her full name. you blew her a kiss with a dramatic mwah sound.
âHey, are you guys going to Robâs thing tonight?â Jared asked you walk
âWhat thing?â
âI guess Louden Swain is having a pop-up at the bar across the street tonight.â
âI donât know.â You looked over to Lily who was attempting puppy dog eyes with her bottom lip pouted. You sighed. âYou guys and youâre damn puppy eyes.â
Lilyâs face perked up. âIs that a, yes?â;
âYes.â You said walking toward the door âCome on boys. Meet and greet time. Jensen and Jared followed you. âYou too Lily?â you held your elbow out to her. She linked her arm in yours and you walked out the door.
You watch Jensen and Jared interact with their fans with a smile on your face. You felt someone nudge your arm. âHey there.â Osric said.
You smiled at him âWhatâs up Oz?â
âNothin. Hanging out.
âSounds fun.â
You look back at Jensen. He was watching you. His face was hard, and his brows scrunched together. You raised your hands and eyebrows in a what gesture.
âHeâs jealous.â Osric said.
âOh, shut up. He is not.â
âYou want me to prove it?â you rolled your eyes and Osric put his arm around you. You watched Jensenâs jaw clenched and his nostrils flared.
 âDonât piss him off. You shook off Osricâs arm. âBut why would he be jealous of you?â
âHe knows I had a thing for you back in the day.â
âSpeaking of things from back in the day.â You nodded your head towards Lily who was walking up carrying 2 carriers full of coffee cups. Osric smiled.
She sat down the 2 cup carriers she had in her arms and pulled out your coffee. âHere you go.â She said holding it out to you.
âLily you could ask for help ya know.â
âEh Iâm used to it, Oh, hey Osric. How are you?â
âIâm good. How are you?â
âGood, good.â The awkward tension made you cringe. He said, âHere, let me help youâ he picked up one of the carriers.
âSee ya around Babes.â He winked at you, and you nodded as they walked away.
Jensenâs face relaxed and you shook your head at him. His attention went back to his face, and you couldnât help but smile as you watched. He was so good to his fans. He smiled at you and your heart fluttered. Man, why did he have to go and fuck everything up? You stood there pondering how much different you life would be with him.
âSo, can I ask how the whole babe/babes thing started?â An unfamiliar voice made you jump. You looked over to find Alexander standing next to you.
âReally?! Nobodyâs told you the story?â
âNo. Everyone just says thatâs what weâve always called her.â
âHmm. Ok. So back in season 3 Jensen and I started dating, everyone kind of new, but nobody really pressed us about it. We wanted to stay professional on set and around our co-workers. One day Jensen let babe slip out on set. Padalecki and Beaver started calling me babe to mock him and it just kind of stuck. Next thing you know everyone was doing it.â
âHow long did you guysâ date?â
âAlmost 4 years.â
âSo, what happened?â
âWe were just better off as friends. I guess,â
âI call bullshit.â
âExcuse me?â
âIt seriously took you almost 4 years to realize you were better off as friends?â
âBabes.â Abby walked over to you âCan you take the boys out to lunch for me? I got something I have to take care of.â Abby grabbed you, you waved and Alex nodded as she drug you away.
âAm I gonna get paid for today?â
âPut it on my tab.â She smiled at you.
You made your way over to the table as the event ended. Â âYâall hungry?â
âStarving.â Jensen said and Jared nodded.
âWell come on. We are going out for lunch.â
âWhoâs we?â Jensen asked.
âYou, Jared, Lily, and me?â
âOk Iâll go.â
âI mean if you donât want to.â
âItâs not that. I just donât wanna be the third wheel to you and Osric.â
âReally Jensen?â
âWell, you looked pretty cozy a minute ago.â
You rolled your eyes. You motioned Lily and started walking toward the elevators. She met you on your way. âYou, ok?â
âJensen being Jensen.â you looked over your shoulder, the boys were a way back but following.
âSo, Lily, Youâre a cast p.a now?â Jared said trying to relieve the awkward tension in the air that lingered around the table.
âYeah, Itâs a lot of fun. So much better than a grip assistant.â
âYou gonna follow in (y/n)âs footsteps and become a writer?â
You smiled at her. âNo. I could never. I really donât know how she does it. Itâs amazing. I wish you could read her work right now. What she did with Soldier Boy was awesome.â
Jensenâs eyes snapped up to you and your smile faded. âYou wrote Soldier Boy?â he asked.
âI helped develop him for television.â His green eyes leered at you. âI did not create him myself.â
âHelped?â Lily continued âEric loved everything you suggested for him. She made him so good. Heâs a dick, but you got to love him.â
You sighed and went back to your plate. âHey Eric.â Your eyebrows raised when you heard Jensen say Ericâs name. âIâm good bud. How are you?â He laughed. You looked back up at him. Shit he was probably going to say no. You didnât think Eric would fire you over it, but it wasnât out of the question. âWell, you know I had to get woo-ed first.â He laughed again. âYeah, she is good at getting what she wants huh.â More laughter. âYes sir. Write me up a contract. Me and Frank will meet up with yâallâ He listened. âAlright man Iâll talk to you later⌠byeâ he hung up and put his phone back in his pocket. Your phone buzzed. You looked it and read the message.
Eric: Thank you!
You smiled as you turned the screen off and put your phone back on the table. The waitress came back over âCan I get you guys anything else?â she batted her eyes at Jensen, he flashed a smile at her. âNo darlinâ just the check.â You rolled your eyes as he winked at you.
You stepped up to the elevatorâs call button and pressed it. Jared and Jensen walked up as you waited. Jensen stood beside so close your arms were touching. The doors open and you start to walk but Jensen stopped you. âWeâll meet yâall up there. I have to talk to (y/n).â Lily looked at you and you nodded. The doors shut.
âWhat?â You asked but he stayed silent and then pressed the call button once Jared and Lily started going up. ââJensen. What do you want?â
The second set of doors opened, and He gestured you to go first. You got in and leaned against the back wall.
âYa know babes, Youâre pretty cute when youâre jealous.â He pushed the button for your floor and turned around.
âWhat?â
âThe waitress at lunch. I noticed your eye rolls and dirty looks.â
You sighed. âHave you ever heard the story about the kettle and pot?â
He gave you a flirty smile. Â âSo, what if I was?â He closed the space between you and slid his hands on your face, bringing his lips just inches away from yours. His eyes searching yours for a refusal, but you didnât give one. His lips captured yours in a passionate kiss. Electricity coursed through your veins. Before you could stop them, your arms wrapped around his neck deepen the kiss further. His arms found their way around your waist pulling you into him. The elevator dinged and reality set back in ending the kiss. Â He rested his forehead on yours.
âJensen.â you whimpered between pants.
âPlease donât ruin this.â
âIâm sorry I canât do this.â
âWhy not?â
âBecause I canât.â
âJust tell me why and it will never come up again.
âIâm getting married.
 âBullshit. Padalecki would have told me.â He tilted his head to kiss you again
You pulled back. âJared doesnât know.â His eyes shot open.
âWhen?â Â
â5 weeks.â
âYouâre getting married in 5 weeks and you didnât invite Jared?â He asked, bringing his forehead back down to yours.
âFamily only. You know I never wanted a big wedding.â
His face scrunched in pain. âDo you still love me?â
âJensen...â you blinked back tears.
Your breath hitched as his hands smacked his palms against the wall. âJust answer the question!â He demanded.
You couldnât stop the tears any longer. You nudged him. He didnât move. âJensen Please.â
He stepped out of the way, and you walked off the elevator. Your phone started to ring on the way back to your room. Your phone started to ring. Fucking fantastic you thought as you saw the name.
âHey,â your voice cracked as you answered your phone.
âWhatâs wrong?â Brett asked.
âNothing.â
âEric just told me the news.â
âOh yeah?â
âCongrats. I didnât think youâd be able to actually pull it off babe.â
You hmphed. âWell thanks.â
âDonât take it like that. Hey gotta go Angela needs me.â
âOh of course.â The tears started again.
âDonât be like that. Sheâs, my boss.â
âAnd she totally has a thing for you.â
âYouâre Being crazy.â
âYep. Iâm the problem.â
âSeriously? I gotta go. Can we finish this later?â
âYep.â You hung up
âHey, what happened?â Lily asked as you opened the door.
âI donât wanna talk about it.â You threw his hat on your bed and headed for the bathroom.
Jensenâs P.o.V.
âThe answer was always going to be yes, J.pâ he said as they walked off the elevator. âI just wanted more time with her.â âAnd did it help?â âKind of yea.â Jared rolled his eyes. âI guess in a fucked-up way. At least the truth is out now. Maybe yâall can work on being friends now.â âI donât think it will ever be the way it was. He said as they started across the street. âWell maybe you should try to find a new way to be friends with her.â They walked through the doors and the bar was packed. âI gotta pee. Iâll be right back.â Jensen pointed at the bar and Jared nodded. Jensenâs eyes scanned the room for her, but she was nowhere to be found. âSheâs not here yet.â He sat down on the barstool next to Ruthie. âBut she told me she was coming and sheâs not one to break her word.â She took a drink. âYou guys ok now?â âHonestly Ruthie. I have no idea. I did something stupid.â âWell, that doesnât surprise me.â she teased. âOh, gee thanks.â He smiled. âI was being malicious dear, just trying to say you do dumb shit when youâre in love.â âDo you know?â Ruthieâs eyebrows creased, âIn 5 weeks.â âYes, I know.â She sighed. âHeâs an arsehole. I wish she would see it.â âReally?â âI shouldnât be telling you this.â She took another drink. âWeâll blame it on the whiskey.â She winked at him. âI know you would treat her a million times better. Hell, she probably knows it. Sheâs just letting the past scare her.â He opened his mouth, but she put her hand up. âI know Jensen. But you will have o prove it to her.â He nodded. Jared walked back up and their phones went off at the same time âThe cowboys won!!â Jared yelled, turning around. And leaning his back on the bar. âFinally stopped that losing streak.â Jensen said as they bumped fists. âYou want a beer?â Jared nodded. Jensen go the bartenderâs attention â3 Coronas Please.â Jared gave him a puzzled look. âSheâll be here.â The bartender sat down the beers and Jensen handed him his card. âStart a tab.â The bartender nodded. âThank you.â âDude.â âYou can send me your half later.â âThere she is.â Jared yelled and Jensen turned around on the stool. Damn she looked good. Tight jeans, white tee, He smiled when he saw she still had his hat on, but even with the makeup he could tell sheâd been crying. âHow bout dem boys? Huh?â She smiled. âWhat are we drinking?â âWhatever you want princess.â Jared teased. âTequila.â She turned around. âBri. Come do a shot with me.â âHell yea.â âRuthie. You want one?â âNot tonight boys. We have an early flight tomorrow.â She told them. âIâll take Ruthieâsâ (y/n) said. âIâll do a second one with her.â Bri said Jensen raised his eyebrows. âYouâre gettin drink tonight huh?â âIâm having fun tonight.â She smiled again âAlright.â Jared counted. â6 shots of tequila please.â The bartender brought over the shots with lime slices and a saltshaker. Jared picked up the saltshaker âHands.â Jared said and licked his own hand. The three of them licked between their thumb and index finger, then held them up to Jared. He poured salt where they licked. âLimesâ he said as he handed them each a lime. âShots.â He handed each of them a glass and brought his into the center of them. They clinked their shot glasses together as they licked the salt and then took the shot. âReady for another one?â Bri asked you âYes maâam.â Jared held out the saltshaker and the girls repeated the process. Jensen couldnât help but smile at the face she made when she took the lime out of her mouth. âStill not a fan of limes I see.â âNo not really.â She confirmed. âI gotta pee.â Bri grabbed (y/n)âs hand and drug her to the bathroom. Jared turned to Jensen. âSheâs been crying.â âI know Jared.â Jensen cleared his throat. âMy fault.â âMaybe we should just lock you two in a room and let you scream it out.â Jensen chuckled. âKeep buying Tequila shots and it will probably happen.â âI donât know Ackles. Sheâs the happiest drunk Iâve ever seen. Might make the situation better.â Jared smiled deviously. âWell judging by that smile, I guess we will find out.â
Readerâs P.o.V
âOk spill.â Bri said as the bathroom door shut.
âWhat?â
She tilted her head and squinted her eyes. âthe way you guys are looking at each other, ya know like you used to.â
âBri. Iâm supposed to be getting married in 5 weeks.â
âWhat?! You and Jensen. Oh my god final.â
âNo not Jensen. His name is Brett. He works with me on the boys.â
âOh. Why the supposed to be.â
âI don't know.â You told her about the conversation you had earlier today and the big fight you had before you came out. âWhen I told him I was going out with my supernatural friends, he lost his shit.â
âIf he doesnât make you happy. You need to call it off.â
âBut everything has already been paid for and its not bad all the time.â
âDo you really want to get married because everything has been paid for?â
âYou have a point.â
âLook just have fun with us tonight. Really let your hair down. You deserve fun. Tomorrow go home and hash it out with him. If you guys canât come to an understanding, Iâd say kick him to the curb. Deal?â
âDeal. Now go pee so we can go back to drinking.â She chuckled with you.
âAnother round of shots?â Jared asked as you walked up to them.
âMaybe we should slow down a bit J.p.â Jensen suggested.
âAw whatâs wrong cowboy? Canât handle your liquor anymore.â
He raised his eyebrow and gestured for another round. âAdd another one.â Jensen told Jared as Lily walked up.
âLily!!â You and Bri yelled together.
She smiled. âReally boys? I leave her alone with you for 5 minutes and sheâs taking tequila shots?â
âI am a grown up. and Iâve only had 2.
âBout to be 3.â Jared said turning around with the saltshaker. âHands.â
âCan we get a lemon slice please?â Jensen asked the bartender. He sat the shots down and got in the fridge.
âThank you.â You smiled.
The 5 of you repeated the took the shots and slammed the glasses on the bar.
âBri!â you heard someone yell.
âIâll be back.â Bri said and walked away.
You sat the deflated lemon slice on the counter. Leaning on the bar closer to him than you probably should have. âIs this for me?â You asked, pointing to the extra beer sitting by Jensenâs.
âYep.â He said and picked his up.
âWell thank you.â
âNo problem princess.â He teased and you squinted at him.
âHow much time before they come on?â Lily asked.
Jared looked at his watch. âAbout 45 minutes.â
â(y/n), letâs go play a songâ Lily said pointing at the fancy jukebox. You grabbed your beer and followed her.
âReally babe, Tequila shots?â she questioned you.
âYes, Tequila shots. Lily, I have had a rough week. I want to have a fun night with my friends. So quit being a buzzkill and have fun with me, please.â
âAlright.â She walked up to the bar. You started scrolling through the songs. Lily came back over holding 2 shots. Your jaw dropped. âLetâs have fun then.â You clicked the glasses and took the shot. You turned back to the jukebox as she took your glass and returned it back to the bar.
âYes!â you slid your card and tapped the song you wanted. You looked over at Jensen who smiled as soon as the music started. âHis eyes are cold and restâ You sang âAnd his wounds have almost healed.â His smile got bigger.
âAnd sheâd give half of Texas, just to change the way he feels.â Jared belted out making you laugh.
âShe knows his loves in Tulsa.â You yelled back at him. Making your way back over to the boys.
âAnd she knows heâs gonna go.â Â Jared said turning to you
âBut it ainât no women flesh and blood, itâs that damned old rodeo.â You and Jared sang loudly. Everybody laughed.
You turned to Jensen who was shaking his head. âWhatâs wrong Ackles, did you forget the words?â you teased him.
âNo, just not 4 shots deep yet, darlin.â
â4?â
âHer and Lily snuck one without us.â
Jared shook his head at you.
You smiled. âBetter catch up Padalecki.â
He looked over to Jensen. â2 more Jay.?â
âCome on Ross. Live a little.â Â You gave him a cheeky grin.
He chuckled âAlright letâs go.â Â He got the bartenderâs attention and held up 4 fingers.
âHello?â lily answered her phone. âYes, Brett sheâs right here hold on.â You rolled your eyes as she held her phone out to you.
You took it and put it to your ear. âHey. Hold on.â You turned and walked toward the door.
Jensenâs P.o.V
âWhoâs Brett?â Jared asked as he and Jensen sat their empty glasses down. Thank you for asking Jared. Jensen thought to himself.
âAnother writer on the show.â Lily said as she stepped up to the bar and ordered a drink.
âWhy is he calling your phone looking for (y/n)?â Jared asked clinking glasses with Jensen before they took the second shot.
âHe asked if she was ok. She wasnât answering her phone. She probably forgot it and didnât want to go back up.â
âMy tab.â Jensen told the bartender as he took Lilyâs drink and held it out to her.
âThanks Jay.â She said as she took it from him.
âNo problem.â He grabbed his beer.
âCome on Ackles. Letâs go play some music.â
Jensen nodded and followed Jared over to the jukebox.
âDid she mention this Brett guy to you?â he asked Jared as he slid his card in the card reader. He picked a song âYouâre up.â
âNo. Why would she?â Â Jared asked searching for the song he wanted. âNow You.â They switched spots.
âI donât know. It just seems odd.â He searched for her favorite. Jared rolled his eyes.
âYouâre over thinking it. you need to get out of that jealous ex-boyfriend headspace bro.â
âI know its just hard with her.â He makes the final choice. âDone.â
âJared!!â Mark yelled from one of the tables.
âIâll be right back.â
âIâll be at the bar.â
Jensen started back to his seat to find (y/n) sitting in it. âI think youâre in my seat little lady.â
She spun around to face him. âWell, ya know what they say about moving your feet.â
He narrowed his eyes. âYouâre lucky.â He stood beside her leaning on the bar.
She smiled. âOr youâre just yellow bellied.â
He laughed. âIâd watch that mouth.â
âOh, or what?â
âYou really donât wanna go there.â
She giggled. âSo tough.â He smirked and shook his head.
He leaned against the bar and took a drink of his beer. âSo, is everything alright? Lily said that Brett guy was worried about you.â
âWhat did she tell you?â
âJust that heâs another write for The Boys, you werenât answering your phone, so he got worried and called Lilyâs phone. Where is Lily anyway?â
âBathroom.â She took a drink. âEverything is fine.â
âYou know I know when youâre lying right?â Jensen asked and took a drink of his beer.
âIâm not lying we got into an argument, but everything is fine now.â
âAn argument about what?â She stayed silent. âOhh thatâs him. huh. The guy you are supposed to marry?â
âYea.â She sighed. âCan we not talk about it?â
âThought we were trying this whole friend thing out?â
âSo be my friend and drink with me. I wanna have fun. Make me forget my problems.â
âTheyâll still be there in the morning.â
âThen Iâll deal with them then.â She took the last drink of her beer. âOr I can just got get Bri.â She got the bartenderâs attention and pointed at her beer.
âAnother for you sir?â the bartender asked as he sat down (y/n)âs beer.
âYes, please and 2 more shots.â She smiled.
 âOh of course youâd play this song.â
He smiled. âMama told me, When I was young.â Her face lit up when he started singing, making his heart do a little flutter. "Come sit beside me, my only son, and listen closely to what I say, and if you do this it'll help you Some sunny day"
âStill got that pretty voice huh?â
âGuess so.â
The bartender sat the shots on the bar. âUh whatâs this?â Lily asked as she walked back up to you and Jensen. Jared was right behind her.
âThought yâall were going do one without us?â
She looked at him and giggled.
âAdd 2 more"
Readerâs P.o.V.
âCome on I wanna get a good spot.â Lily yelled.
Jensen grabbed your hand âfollow me.â you grabbed Lilyâs hand, and she grabbed Jaredâs arm. Jensen led you guys almost to the front. You stood next to him looking down at his hand still holding yours. âSorry.â He let it go.
You didnât know if it was your feelings or the 6 shots of tequila you had, but you felt kind of disappointed. You shook it off. The band came out and the crowd went crazy. You couldnât help but smile at Jensen as he cheered. Just as Rob started to sing some big muscle bond guy stepped in front of you. Blocking your view.
Then you felt his hands on your shoulders, pulling you in front of him so you could see. He dropped his hands, but you could feel him behind you. Lily came over wiggling her hips and singing along with the band. You downed the rest of your beer and started to do the same.
âLily!!â you heard someone yell. You look over and Lily is dancing her way to Osric. You leaned back and found Jensenâs neck pulling his ear down to you. âIs your jealousy cured now?â you pointed over to them, they were dancing together now.
He brought his lips to your ear. âAlmost.â
âWhat does that mean?â
"Still got one more to get rid of." He licked his lips keeping his bottom lip in his teeth.
Shit maybe the tequila was a bad idea. You couldnât stop yourself. You had to fill his lips again. You pulled him down, smashing your lips together in needy desire. His arms wrapped tightly around your waist. Pulling you to him, you parted your lips and shivers ran up your spine when he slides his tongue on yours making you roll your hips. He let out a small growl and thrusted his hips. letting you feel his hardening shaft on your ass. Making you moan softly. He pulled back and spun you around. His hands found your ass and pulled you close again. And his lips were back on yours. Your arms slid around his neck. Pulling him into you just as hard as he was pulling you into him. He double tapped your right thigh, and you brought your knee up to his hip. Flames shot from your core as he hooked his hand under your ass and pushed his hardness into you. You trailed kisses up to her ear.
âYou wanna get out of here Cowboy?

Lonely Place of Longing XV.V (The missing chapter)
Master list link here (includes chapter links, summary, and character bios)
A/N: I took this chapter out because it made references to things I hadn't talked about in this story (but will in the prequel series!). And because I felt like it would have made the chapter after this one (and in the story's current iteration Chapter 16) less climactic--though it probably would have been pretty climactic with the cliff hanger in hindsight. It's a short one, so please enjoy. The final chapter will be out on its usual post day!
Warnings: physical violence, blood, knife, stabbing, wounds, referenced death, character death, mcd, unconsciousness, referenced heat injury
âYou are sadly still so predictable,â Owen drawled as he grabbed for another knife from his bandolier of blades. He had slipped back into their native tongue. He had, Dylan realized, always spoken to Dylan in their mother tongue. Only when it was absolutely necessary did he use the language native to Patricanus.
And you havenât changed either. âDoes it matter? We both know how this ends, Owen. Give it up.â I will end you. I will rip you limb from limb. I will destroy you. You did this. You gave me no choice.
âYes, it ends with me winning and imbuing your sweet paramour. Do you think she will be as monstrous as me? Or perhaps as monstrous as you?â Owen chuckled as he dodged another attack from Dylan.
Dylan and Owen continued to trade blows. Both weapons fought with their powers, Owen combining his attacks with his physical weapons. Their chests heaved as they panted. Neither had had a fight that required this much strength in nearly a decade. âIsnât this lovely,â Owen said as he tossed a bent knife to the side before drawing another, âtwo of the most powerful beings in the world set to destroy one another.â He glanced over his shoulder at Halle. âPerhaps she will join our ranks soon.â
Hold on, sweetheart. I wonât let him hurt you. âOwen,â Dylan said as he raised his fist once more, âit doesnât have to be this way. If you agree to stop, if you agree to come willinglyââ
âYouâll what, kill me quickly? Iâm not going to do that.â Owen released a large pulse of energy at Dylan. It missed Dylan by a wide margin, blasting a large hole in the wall behind him. Shouts of pain and alarm rang out.
Dylan gritted his teeth. His side pinched. He could feel blood leaking through his shirt and making his side slick. He didnât dare check the wound. It doesnât matter. It is minor. Minor pain. I have had worse. I need to stop him. I need to stop him from destroying everything. He knew he was burning through his vast reserve of energy. But most of all, Dylan hated the loss of innocent human life. âDo you care so little for your minions you would kill them to hurt me?â
Owen smirked. âYes, wouldnât you?â Owen sent another energy blast at the wall, vaporizing the scattering men. âThatâs what they are for. They are weak. We are strong. We can destroy everything.â
âYou cannot do this, Owen. You cannot destroy everything. Think of what we could rebuild. Think of all the lives we could save.â Please. Please donât make me do this. IâŚI donât want to. Dylan realized with a pang of guilt. As much as he hated what Owen had done, as much as he hated the destruction and waste of life, he didnât hate Owen. And killing Owen would kill a part of him. Please, we were friends once. We can still be friends. Please, donât make me kill you.
âI can. And I will. Because I can. And because I want to.â Owen lunged towards Dylan again, his knife flashing bright. Dylan easily dodged Owenâs attack once more, but realized his mistake when Owen charged towards Halle.
âNo!â Dylan surged forward, realizing too late, this was exactly what Owen wanted. Owen stabbed the knife up and into Dylanâs gut, burying it to the hilt. Dylan tried to breathe through the pain as Owen rode his body to the ground.
âLike I said, Dylan,â Owen ripped the knife up and through Dylanâs body until he hit bone. Dylan gasped through the pain, âso predictable.â
âOwen,â Dylan hissed as he felt Owen rip the knife from his gut. âOwen, please,â he said. âOwen, ahhââ Dylan cried out as Owen shoved his hand into the wound. His world whited out with pain as Owen wormed his fingers into the wound on his side.
âThere, thatâs it. Yes, you are where I always planned for you to be, Dylan.â Owenâs face was inches from Dylanâs. âI have been waiting for this moment.â
âOwen, Iâm sorry,â Dylan whispered. I cannot let you do this. I cannot let you win. If you win, the world burns. If you win, she dies. I cannot let that happen.
Owen froze. âWhat are you sorry for? Wounding me?â Owen wriggled his fingers deeper into the wound. Dylan cried out with pain. âWhatâs the best way and only surefire way to kill a weapon?â
Dylan gritted his teeth. I donât want to do this. But you are leaving me no choice. Please, Owen. âOwenââ
âThatâs right, you destroy the heart. A head shot will probably kill them, but not always. But the heart? The heart is the only way. Iâm going to rip your heart apart, Dylan. And then Iâm going to wake up your love so she can see your corpse as I turn her.â Owen twisted his arm, shoving it further into Dylanâs body. âIâll reach your heart either through your belly or through your side. It doesnât matter. I will have your heart. I will win.â
Destroy their heart. This is the only way. Iâm sorry, Owen. Iâm sorry this is what it came to. You left me no choice. âKilling me wonât bring them, any of them back. Killing me wonât bring her back.â
Owen froze. Dylan continued. âKilling me wonât change what happened. Killing me wonât bringââ
âYou donât get to say her name. You donât get to say anything about any of them. And yes, killing you wonât bring them back. But it will make me happier.â
Dylan closed his eyes tight against the sting of tears. I am sorry. I am so sorry. I tried. You left me no other way. I would have found another way. You left me no choice, Owen. Dylan raised his shaking left hand to touch Owenâs chest as Owen tried to dig further and further, searching for Dylanâs heart. He didnât even notice when Dylan touched his shredded shirt. âI am sorry,â Dylan whispered as he unleashed his power. âI am truly sorry, Owen,â he said to the red mist that filled the air.
Youâre free now. Free from pain. Free from all of this. Free from suffering. I am sorry. Fare well, my friend. May the next life treat you better.
Dylan lay in the growing pool of blood for a moment longer, slowly trying to take stock of his injuries. He had worse pain. But he knew it had to be bad. It didnât matter. He had to get to Halle. Sweetheart. Iâm coming. Hold on. I love you. I love you. I love you.
With a stifled howl of pain, Dylan rolled onto his uninjured side and slowly tried to stand up. He pressed his hand to his gut as he rose on shaking legs, gasping with pain as every muscle protested the movement. He couldnât stop. He had to keep going. He took two tentative steps on shaking legs. Good enough. I can get us out of here. Iâm coming, sweetheart. Hold on.
Halle lay where she had fallen after her head struck the wall. She hadnât moved during his entire fight with Owen. Please, be ok. You have to be ok. Dylan stumbled over to Halle, collapsing to his knees, relieved to see she was alive.
âSweetheart, Iâve got you,â Dylan said as he braced himself. Carefully Dylan lifted her, stumbling slightly as he tried to get his balance. Though Halle was petite, he struggled to carry her. He knew his wounds were much worse than he initially thought as he struggled to balance. âIâll get us to the team. Theyâll look after you. Just hold on.â
Halle hung limply in his arms, her limbs swaying with his staggering. The room spun around him. No. Just a bit farther. Just a bit longer. Dylan refused to give up, refused to let his body give out. She needs help. I have to get her to help. Hold on, sweetheart. I have you. I love you. I love you. I love you.
Dylan only managed to get a few steps before his legs gave out completely. He didn't have the energy to get back up, to carry her and go forward. âOh,â he sighed. Iâm sorry. Iâm so sorry, Halle. I canât. Youâre going to have to walk out of here. IâŚ.I canât carry you. âSweetheart, Iâm sorry. IâŚPlease wake up soon. Please be ok.â
He held Halle tightly in his arms. He rubbed gentle circles on her back. Dark spots flecked his vision. He shook his head. Come on, sweetheart. You have to be ok. I am alive because you are alive.You have to be alive. I love you. I love you. I love you.

Vesperia Roleswap AU
I currently lack the artistic skills to bring them to life visually, but been thinking on roleswapping the main characters in Vesperia, but instead of the more common ones (like I've seen Flynn swap with Estelle), wanted something more "out there":
Yuri
If we wanted to keep Yuri as the main character, I think he'd have to stay the same. However, you could
swap him with Estelle and get the whole "Royals Who (Try To) Actually Do Something". But the more I thought on this, the more I think it'd be interesting if Yuri swapped with Raven. By doing this, you get to keep the whole "Yuri was once a knight" thing and also keep that he's an older protagonist as well. Not as old as Raven, but he wouldn't be the typical JRPG protag age range (17). I've seen plenty of ideas with Yuri having a blastia heart because of something postgame, but I feel it would have the most potential if he swapped with Raven. You don't even have to have him as old as Raven either, you could have him be an experiment of blastia hearts and that's what ultimately pushes him to leave the knights like in canon.
Estelle
This one had me Think, and I considered "just swap her with canon!Yuri"... but what if we took Estelle's indecisive flaw and swapped her with Karol? Karol was hopping guilds prior to BV, and Estelle's indecisiveness could substitute well (imo) in a roleswap with Karol. And given how much Vesperia makes room for Karol's character development, Estelle would be right at home since I feel she's one of the characters that needed it the most. (note: one of). Plus, Estelle having more freedom than she would in the Palace leaves for different conflict and growth, but ultimately keeps core to who she is. The drawback to this is her whole Child of the Full Moon schtick, where we know that Alexei wants to exploit that, and it'd be a little harder to do so if she wasn't controlled by the Empire. But maybe that gives him an excuse to call for war between the capital and Dahngrest? Who knows.
Repede
You can keep him with Yuri, and I don't think it'd change much. I do, however, think you could potentially have him with another character mentioned below, aka the character I think should swap with Yuri. Doing so frees up another character (Ba'ul)...
Karol
I swapped Karol with Patty because there's enough adventure to stick with Karol in an AU, but enough from Patty's backstory that can be used to fuel Karol's own conflicts. I don't think the amrita thing is necessary, but if we think about it, Karol and Patty are two characters that don't have the greatest rep in Act 1/2 of Vesperia. Patty is universally disliked cause her "grandfather" was a tyrant, and Karol has a bad rep for guild-hopping. Imagine Karol struggling to reform a pirate crew because he lost his old group/was kicked out of it? You could even make Siren's Fang the members of the Hunting Blades instead.
Raven
I would really like to see Raven swap with Rita. While he's not as associated with ALL blastia the same way Rita is, he's tied to the blastia hearts. Imagine if he were an ex-knight (like Yuri) but knew about blastia hearts and that was the drive for all his research. And Aspio seems to like to keep to itself, so I can see them ostracizing Raven just as much as they do Rita. I also like the idea of anyone looking at Raven and automatically assume he's not smart enough to understand blastia, but he does, actually.
Rita
I considered swapping Rita with Patty, but actually, I want to swap her with Flynn. As mentioned, Aspio mages are employed by the Empire. In the game, Flynn goes to Rita for her help with the tree in Halure, but Rita brushes him off. As Sodia states in Yumanju, this is not professional and would result in legal trouble with the Empire since they are the ones ensuring Rita has everything she needs to do her research. Fortunately for Rita, Flynn was nice enough to let her stay put and research to her heart's content. Rita's refusal to go along is how Flynn ended up with Witcher in his brigade. While I can't see Rita being a textbook knight like Flynn, the game teases the idea of Rita being in the Flynn Brigade had she just followed orders. Rita even implies (in her own "tsundere" way) to Flynn that she may or may not consider helping him next time if he needed it. You could see this as gratitude for Flynn letting her do as she pleased. I also think Rita swapping with Flynn would also keep the core of her familial relationship with Judith, who...
Judith
...I initially thought of swapping her with Estelle, but Judith's free-spirited nature is so tied into her character that it's very difficult to separate. So, I think Judith should swap with Yuri. It also gives her an excuse to keep Ba'ul if we really wanted some consistency. Unfortunately, this does conflict with who swaps with Judith (more on that in the next section). You could also keep Repede out of the roleswap, and just have her be Judith's companion instead of Ba'ul. I mean, Repede liked Judith, remember? Anyway, Judith isn't as torn up about the unfairness of the Empire like Yuri is, but she certainly doesn't want to be tied down by strict rules and I don't think she's one to turn a blind eye to those being mistreated by the ones in power. I imagine Judith, who had to crawl her way up from nothing from square one (cause despite the tragedy of Temza, she did have a roof over her head and a loving father), would be less tolerant of the Empire, and it could put some conflict between her and Rita, esp if they grew up together in the lower quarter. Imagine Judith's frustration with the Empire growing tenfold because Rita kinda had "no choice" but to work with the knights who were more than willing to turn a blind eye to those in need of help? You also forget that Judith's father, Hermes, also worked with the knights even if he wasn't technically of the Empire. I'm getting more ideas on this one, so I'll stop yammering. And no, since she's swapping with Yuri, I don't think Judith would be a Krityan in this AU.
Flynn
Hear me out, but I would like to see Flynn swapped with Judith. And no, that's not my bias speaking. Both characters have things in common and enough contrasts in their backstories that it can make for something interesting. In canon, it's implied in the DE/PS3 version that Flynn, despite his accomplishments, is pretty damn lonely. He doesn't have friends the same way Yuri does. While Sodia and Witcher are loyal to him, the Yumanju scene makes it clear they struggle to put aside Commandant Flynn and Flynn (the person). Judith herself is very lonely despite having a companion in Ba'ul, and this is reinforced even more in Ryuutsukai (vol. 2). I think the loneliness would make it fitting to have Flynn and Judith swap in an AU, but also because of their deceased fathers. Judith destroys Hermes blastia because her father made them and it was harming the environment. Maybe Finath isn't an inventor like Hermes in this roleswap!AU, but I could definitely see Flynn taking on a solo mission to "clear" his father's name (Judith's reasoning is "because I wanted to", not for anything "noble" like clearing a name, or so she says). One thing that could make this challenging is Flynn's views on the law. Technically, breaking blastia is a crime, and if Flynn's as a stickler for the rules in this AU as he is in canon, then that can create some Trouble. I do think it'd be interesting that instead of joining a guild like Judith joins Brave Vesperia, he would lean more towards the knights to keep some consistency with his canon counterpart. Another issue I found is Ba'ul. Would Flynn have a companion in Ba'ul, or would it be some other Entelexeia that's just kinda There for a mutual mission? I humored Khroma, because she's got enough off screen time to leave shit up to interpretation in canon, but enough that she wouldn't be completely on Flynn's side either. However, Khroma would still become Sylph, which would mean they would part ways for good if she were Roleswap!Flynn's Entelexeia buddy.
Patty
Admittedly, Patty is the one I put the least amount of thought into, and it's a shame cause she's definitely in my top 5 list of Vesperia characters. But I'm swapping her with Estelle purely for the whole one-off line that Patty was once a noble (mentioned by Jim in one of the Capua towns). I think Patty also being a victim of Alexei's schemes makes it easy to slide her into Estelle's role. I imagine if we keep Patty's whole "amrita" bs, then the Empire would undoubtedly want to discover how and where she found it, even if Patty herself doesn't remember.
tl;dr
Yuri -> Raven
Estelle -> Karol
Karol -> Patty
Rita -> Flynn
Raven -> Rita
Judith -> Yuri
Repede = Repede
Ba'ul = Ba'ul (kind of)
Flynn -> Judith
Patty -> Estelle

Ibuki-san
-So there arenât that many male characters even in this AU, and Iâm specifically trying to avoid the sections of Touhou lore that are actually based on real mythology/historical figures, but in the few instances like this where I DO have both of those things going onâŚIâm essentially just bending back the genderbends, arenât I? ^^; Like, if I were to simply call this character Shuten-douji it would basically be an original conceptâŚas long as you ignore the obvious Suika Ibuki design inspiration. :9
-Anyway, I fell in love with this character concept pretty much immediatelyâ Iâd been wondering what to do with Suika since I came up with this AU, and Iâm a big fan of âgoofy muscle dadâ archetypes; Iâm actually surprised it took me this long to think of this dyad. As for the character himself, IâŚdonât really know what he does yet. ^^; Outside of being one of the âBig Threeâ veteran incident resolvers along with Yukari and Sanae, Ibuki-san is kinda just a concept right now. I will say that he is the only one of the three that takes an active role in training up-and-comers like Reimu and Sakuya, rather than just giving sage advice or secretly helping from the shadows. Heâs actually on the ground assisting them in fights with tougher enemiesâŚ
-...Next season, anyway. ^^ After some deliberation, Iâve decided Ibuki is too strong for a final boss like Yumemi, especially my version of Yumemi that doesnât fully understand how to counter magic yet. Ainât no spell-card rules in this AU; If he took the fight even slightly seriously, it would be over in about 30 seconds. (ÂŹâżÂŹ;) But, in my concept for âSeason 2â, where we have Yuuka Kazami and a heel-turned Flandre (two freakishly strong and canonically brutal fighters) basically leading the youkai AvengersâŚthatâs a threat that Reimu and Sakuya would definitely need outside help with. ^^; More on that later~

SUN KISSED LIPS | B.Z X READER
Exams had been stressful, to say the least.Â
Potions was absolutely dreadful. Snapeâs watchful eye feeling like it was zoned directly onto you, any mistake you made seemed to displease the man even further than what you thought possible. Then Charms, where you had to remember at least 50 spells within the span of maybe two minutes. The written section for Transfiguration was absolutely dreadful, as was the showcase of Mandrake handling for your Herbology exams. Not to mention the abomination of your History of Magic exam, though you felt like everyone could only recall one or two things by that point of the week. Defense Against the Dark Arts was last, the only class you felt you had done something good in.
All in all, very stressful.
And that stress was not lost on Blaise either.
Blaise, your sweet and caring boyfriend, has had to handle most of your exam stress for the past month. Most of the time though, you were shutting him out in favor of studying.Â
He couldnât blame you much, the O.W.L exams were important. Not everyone could buy their way into Ministry jobs, they would have to work for it. Your work ethic was always something that Blaise truly appreciated about you.
But right now, that work ethic was getting in the way of his love life. Which obviously meant that he had to devise a plan.
âAmore mio,â he whispered, hands moving to scratch at your scalp as you leaned over your desk. âThe exams are over, whatâs there to be stressed about?â
âI havenât gotten my results back yet!â you said, the bone of your palm hitting your forehead before pulling roughly at your hair. âWhat if I failed all of them? I mean, these exams are really important. If I fail all of them, I wonât be able to do anything with my life.â
Blaise chuckled softly at that, gently pulling your hands away from your hair before kissing the top of your head. âBambina, we have Umbridge this year.â
âGod, donât remind me.â you groaned. âIâll die, Blaise. Actually die. Sheâs going to fail all of my exams, isnât she?â
âLove,â he chuckled, pulling up a chair and sitting next to you. âLook at me.â
Blaise watched as you sighed before looking over at him, cooing softly as he finally saw your face for what felt like years. Your eyes were dark and swollen, both from a lack of sleep and crying. Not to mention how stressed you looked all together, with a sunken face and large pout that melted away at his heart.
âTesoro,â Blaise whispered, his hands moving to hold yours. âYou passed, my love. I know you did. Youâve been studying so hard for so long thereâs no way you didnât. I promise all of the professors will easily be giving you Oâs on every exam.â
âBut what if I fail?â you groaned, sniffling softly.
âYou wonât fail.â Blaise said sternly, squeezing your hands. He didnât want you beating yourself down anymore. âPlus, Umbridge likes me, and by association likes you. Maybe not the best person to like you, sure. But I promise it could help with your exams, the exams you donât need help with in the first place.â
âYouâre going to use bribery to get me perfect grades?â you chuckled quietly, scooting your chair a bit closer to him.
âI donât think my bribery would be as effective as some peopleâs bribery.â he muttered, fingers caressing the back of your hands. âMaybe Draco.â
âHow on Earth would you bribe Draco?â you giggled softly, looking up at him.
âHookers.â Blaise shrugged, before smirking. âWhich gives me a bit of an idea.â
âWe are not hiring a prostitute.â you said.
âNo, but we are going to go on a date.â Blaise smirked, standing up and walking over to your wardrobe. âDo you still have that black dress I got you last month? Or maybe the red one.âÂ
âBlaise!â you chuckled, standing up and moving to stand beside him. âWhere on Earth would we even go? We havenât made reservations or anything.â
âWe donât need those.â Blaise said, nudging you with his elbow. âPut on a nice outfit, weâre going on a date.â
âThis is ridiculous.â you giggled, arms wrapped around his as the both of you walked down the sidewalks of Italy.
In the time that you took a shower, put on a nice sundress, and did your hair and makeup, Blaise had found a portkey to an Italian plaza. In Italy. The sun was still in the sky by the time they got there, the sun setting in just a couple of hours.
âWhat about it is ridiculous?â he asked, smiling softly down at you. âWeâre going shopping.â
âShopping in Italy!â you said, giggling softly. âLike, what about that isnât ridiculous? Just 10 minutes ago I was at Hogwarts, now Iâm in Italy.â
âItâs nothing.â he said, the both of you stopping in front of a clothing store. âI want to get you a new dress, is that okay?â
âYou got me two already this month, and weâre not even halfway!â you giggled, looking up at him. âDo I really need another one?â
âThis oneâs from Italy though, bambina.â Blaise smiled, kissing the top of your forehead. His hand was resting on your waist, the other hand moving to open the door for you both. âPlus, youâll need a swimsuit as well.â
âI do?â you asked confusedly.
âYes you do, câmon.â he smiled.Â
The both of you walked into the store, Blaise guiding you to the swimsuit section. The first piece there was a red and white plaid one-piece, much similar to a picnic blanket. âI think that we should have a picnic at the beach.â
âIf I have to wear a picnic blanket, so do you.â you said to him, hands on your hips.
âMaybe just plain red?â he asked you.
âI suppose that works.â you muttered, grabbing one of the swimsuits and holding it by the hanger. âWhat kind of dress did you want to buy me anyways?â
âI was thinking black.â he muttered, his hand resting on the dip in your back as you both walked to the dress section of the shop. There were shorter dresses and small sun dresses, though your gaze immediately turned to the more elegant ones at the top. âMaybe with velvet. Or a ball gown.â
âI am not letting you buy me a ball gown.â you said, wagging your finger in his face. âThat is too much!â
âBut then everyone would know that youâre a princess, wouldnât they?â he smirked, eyes darting to look at the different dresses. âThat one?â
It was a black silk dress, with a shoulderless sweetheart neckline and corset at the top. It was form fitting, and probably would cover your ankles. The top part before the corset was embroidered with small black gemstones, a small pattern of them also at the bottom.
âItâs really pretty,â you whispered, your eyes darting to the price tag. âBut thatâs too expensive. I couldnât possibly accept it.â
âSure you can,â he said, grabbing the first one off the rack and holding it against you. âItâd be yours, why couldnât you?â
âBecause itâs too much!â you said to him, looking down at the dress pressed against you. âBlaise, that is way too expensive. Youâve already bought me two dresses this month, donât you have a budget of sorts? Surely you think this is too much too.â
âIâd rather dress you up than have my dad waste the worth of this on a pack of well-patted cigars.â Blaise said, kissing your forehead as he grabbed the swimsuit from your hands.
âOh hush,â you grumbled out loud, trying and failing to grab at the dress and swimsuit from his hands as you both made your way to the counter. âIâll get my revenge on you one day, Mister.â
âIâm sure you will, amore mio.â
The sun was just beginning to set as you waded your way into the water, small giggles escaping your mouth at the feeling of the cold water against your legs.
âIt feels funny!â you said, smiling as Blaise pulled you into a hug. âYou can feel it, right?â
âI can.â he smiled, peppering your face in kisses as you continued to laugh about the feeling. âIt does feel rather unique, I must say.â
âItâs tickling me.â you said, holding onto his arms like a vice as the both of you waded further in.
âAre you cold?â he asked you, the water eventually making it up to your chests now. âI can put a warming charm on you, if you want.â
âItâs meant to be cold.â you said, arms wrapping around his neck as he lifted you up to carry you. âPlus, youâre rather warm yourself anyways.â
âAm I now?â he chuckled softly.
âYes you are.â you said, booping him on the nose.
Blaise hummed softly, his finger tapping your back a couple of times before a small radio began to play. You looked around in awe, not having noticed the scenery before you two got into the water.Â
The water was absolutely breathtaking, the setting sun shining against it also giving Blaise the perfect sun-kissed look. His skin was absolutely glowing, and his smile mixing with the music made you feel like you just entered a romcom.Â
âYouâre absolutely beautiful, amore mio.â Blaise whispered, humming softly to the tune of a song you didnât know.â
âHowâd you even get us to Italy?â you asked, chuckling softly at him.
âMy family is Italian.â he hummed under his breath, raising his eyebrow at you. âYou know that, donât you?â
âI do!â you pouted. âI just didnât think youâd have a bloody Portkey to Italy.âÂ
âWell, I do.â he chuckled softly, nuzzling his nose to yours. âAnd now you know.â
âGood.â you hummed, nodding softly.
The two of you stayed in the water for a long while. You waded down to where the water would hit your shoulders, Blaise following close behind you as you both started to try and dance in the water. The sun set and made way for the moon, shining down on you as echoes of your giggles filled the night.
âWhy donât we go get some dinner?â Blaise whispered softly, his lips brushing against yours. âYouâll have to try the dress back on eventually.
âIâll race you!â you said, the both of you wading your way to the shoreline. Blaise had originally beat you, but stayed behind and let you go first.Â
âI win!â you giggled, smiling as Blaise patted your skin dry. âWhere are we going to eat?â
âThis one restaurant I know, they serve the best pasta.â he whispered, kissing your lips as the both of you walked off of the shoreline and towards the plazas again.
You and Blaise were walking to the restaurant together, hands held together as he directed you. His hands had been all over you all day, especially when he helped you put on the dress and do your hair and makeup for the date.
Which led you to where you were right now, in a black dress to match his black slacks, the both of you standing in front of a rather fancy restaurant.Â
âWhat are you going to get?â you asked him curiously, smiling softly as he walked you to a table. He pulled the chair out for you, his lips meeting yours once you sat down.Â
âCarbonara,â he whispered, sitting across from you after adjusting his tie. âYou?â
âI donât know much about Italian dishes,â you whispered. âI mean, I know some things. I donât know if I know everything on this menu though.â
âMaybe you should start with something you know.â Blaise whispered, his hand moving across the table to meet yours. âLasagna?â
âI love lasagna.â you whispered, turning the menu to the drink section. âWhat about drinks though? Thereâs just so many.â
âAnything you want, honey.â he chuckled softly. âYou can get wine if you want. Iâll take you back home, okay?â
âOkay.â you smiled softly, giggling as you looked at the menu.
The waiter walked up and took your orders, the food eventually arriving with steam coming out. âThis is really pretty.â you whispered.
âIt is, isnât it?â Blaise asked, chuckling softly as his fork swirled through his carbonara.
You swirled your fork around the lasagna before taking a small bite, blowing on it before placing it on your mouth. âThis is so good.â
âIs it?â Blaise whispered, smiling softly. âDo you want to try some of my stuff?â
âIt looks really good,â you whispered softly, scooting a bit forward in your chair as he handed you a small bite. âThank you.â
âDoes it taste good?â he asked, smiling softly.
âIt does.â you whispered, smiling brightly at the taste of it. âI love both of them. And this wine, itâs also really good too.â
âIs it?â Blaise asked, chuckling at that. âDo you want a bottle to take back to Hogwarts?â
âWe can do that?â you asked.
âYes we can.â Blaise nodded, smiling softly.
âWe so should!â you said, taking another sip of your glass of wine.
âMerlin,â he whispered softly, his hand caressing yours. âI love you.â
You both had made your way back to Hogwarts, your feet stumbling as Blaise helped you down into the dungeons. Down the stairs, through the Common Rooms, and down to his dormitory. His scent wrapped around you as he wrapped you in his blankets, a small smile coming on your face as you realized it.
âThank you,â you whispered, your eyes looking up at Blaise with a sleepy expression. âFor this.â
You felt a lot better despite your impending test results, a lot calmer than you were not seven hours ago. This date was probably one of the best things that had ever happened to you.
âItâs okay,â Blaise whispered, his hand caressing your cheek as he kissed your forehead. âYou need some rest, can you get some for me?â
âOkay.â you whispered, nodding softly.
