Hey, this is probably a weird request and you can ignore this, but since you know how your story is going to go with Katherine Quin and Company, I think it'd be cool to see you do a before and after shot of character A with the Horrors of your story. It can be drawn or just text, it doesn't matter to me. I'm just craving more of these OC's of yours.
hello this is not a weird request at all im very ecstatic abt this ask actually
i did these with 4 characters! their designs for The End of the story are not finalized (and one or two of the beginning ones arent either!), but this is a general idea of how each of these characters would look like and manage The Horrors i put them thru :]

some of them handle the horrors better than others.....

part one
Tumblr media
You loved him. You loved him, and you know you shouldn't have. You couldn't stop thinking about the way his hand caressed your skin that lustful night, the way he instantly knew what spot would have you squirming like a bitch in heat, how you could shoot buckets of cum with just one thrust of his beefy cock. He claimed you, he owned you and then acted like nothing happened that night. Your blood boiled when you heard the bed squeaking and moans coming from their bedroom. She didn't deserve him, You knew deep down that she couldn't satisfy Henry the way you could, the way you did! That bitch never liked you, maybe she realised Henry secretly liked you better or maybe she was just super homophobic but atleast she won't be around this weekend and you get too have Henry all to your self. You made sure to wear all the most revealing outfits for the first day your mother was away, Henry's eyes widened once you graced him with your presence. He was practically salivating at the mouth when you reached up for something from the top shelf and your skirt lifted up to reveal your jockstrap, the one that perfectly cups your ass.
"M-Morning" he chokes out, spitting out some of his coffee. His eyes admiring the way the jockstrap hugs your ass in the utter most perfect way, "morning daddy" you say seductively as you slowly walk over to him he chokes slightly trying to avoid eye contact with you. "Any plans for today?" Henry asks you politely trying to change the subject as you slowly straddle onto his lap wrapping your arms around his neck "I was thinking maybe we could spend today together... connected" you say in a sultry tone. Henry's hands gently grip onto your waist, he bites his lip trying to have some self restrain to not fuck his step-sons brains out again. "We shouldn't." He mutters out softly in a quiet tone before he gets interrupted as you begin to grind your hips down against his clothed cock, "I know you want me.. I see the way you've been eyeing me up" you say in a whisper causing his body to shudder beneath your whisper.
"You think about me, don't you." You whisper in his ear once more, "when you fuck her. You think about me" You say causing his eyes to widen as he's been caught out, he slowly nods his head before you passionately pull his face into a kiss. Feeling his lips smack against yours it really takes you back, his tongue slides on top of yours as he dominates your mouth once more, the atmosphere hornier then before. Henry's grip on your hips tighten as you continue to buck your hips back and forth causing friction against his cock, you break the kiss and bite down on Henry's lower lip tugging on it slightly causing your step-daddy to let out a sultry moan. You slowly climb off his lap and you take his hand pulling him up and making his follow after you upstairs and into your bedroom where it all began originally.
You seductively crawl onto the bed getting in a sexy position where you begin undressing out of everything you have on, Henry watches from afar where he joins in the stripping session where he reveals his muscular hairy body that you love so much, the body that has been in every single one of your jerk off sessions. He crawls on top of you feeling his warmth corrupt your body, your hand travels down his body until it reaches his large hanging cock and balls, "so thick daddy" you whimper out as you wrap your hand around his shaft jerking it slightly 'till it's rock hard.
Henry brings his fingers up to your mouth "open," he commands, which you obliged. He gently pushes his two fingers past your lips and into your wet mouth, his fingers grazing across your tongue as he slides his fingers deeper into your mouth, and they hit the back of your throat causing you to gag slightly "wider" he commands as you open your mouth wider opening your throat as his fingers go deeper causing your eyes to roll back. Henry pulls his soaked fingers out of your mouth as he brings them towards your tight pucker, gently circling them before he begins to push them past the tight ring.
"D-Daddy!" You whimper out as his fingers slide fully inside you, "you like that baby boy?" He coos in your ear as his body lays on top of yours, his fingers curve back and forth probing your sweet spot, causing your body to shudder beneath him. Henry's eyes meet yours as he bites his lip, watching you shake beneath him, "open wide and stick your tongue out," he commands, and you obliged once again as he sees your tongue come out your mouth he spits in your mouth "now swallow" he demands. The taste of his spit had your cock stiffen, your hole tighten and your nipples harden. His musky scent and sweat dripping off his face from how fast his fingers are working is enough to drive you over the edge.
You bite your lip. "p-put it in," you voice in a begging tone, "I thought you'd never ask," he says in a seductive tone before pulling himself away and lining himself up before thrusting in fully giving you no time to adjust to his size, your body just accommodating to him. Henry grips onto your hips, thrusting back and forth. "F-FUCK! I forgot how good you feel." He groans as he bucks his hips back and forth, feeling your hole tighten around his length.
Your eyes follow up his muscular body to meet his face, pure ecstasy on his face as he pumps back and forth into you. Your eyes widen as he wraps his hand around your cock and he begins jerking you quickly bringing you closer and closer to your release, "so much better... then your mother!" Henry groans louder and louder causing a smirk to appear on your face, Henry's thrust become sloppy as he begins to spurt his cum inside your tight hole, "I-IM CUMMING!" You scream out as you shoot your load all over your stomach.
Henry continues to thrust back and forth pushing his cum deeper and deeper inside of you, he pulls himself out and flops down beside you pulling you closer towards him in a snuggle. "You know I love you... right?" He whispers sweetly in your ear, you nod your head feeling his cum seap out the tight ring of your hole "I know." You say pecking his lips snuggling your head into the nook of his neck. He gently strokes your head as you fall asleep. "My boy." he says possessively. He leans over to the side, grabbing his phone to take a picture of them sleeping naked together, making it his home screen, "my boy.." He whispers to himself.

Tumblr media
“Now, are you sure you’re okay? I can personally file a report for you.�� Mr. Kim asked for the 6th time. You roll your eyes, fed up with the badgering. You didn’t understand why he cared so much anyway. He was the one that refused to listen to you when you tried to explain why it wouldn’t be a great idea for you to deliver in Gongdan.
You didn’t go into detail about the assault, or even bother to mention Yoongi being the reason it didn’t escalate. You simply just stated to him that you were attacked and managed to slip free.
Luckily for you though, the old man’s guilt for the attack led him to giving you the rest of the day off and you snatched that offer up immediately. Not like he needed your assistance, seeing as the restaurant was practically dead with only about 4 customers. “I’m fine, Mr. Kim. I promise.” You assure him one last time. “Alright then. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.” You exit the shop, the door dinging as you do. You spot Mina’s car sitting in front of the restaurant, and she smiles cheerfully as you climb inside. “Hey. Thanks for picking me up so early.” You sigh, buckling your seatbelt. “No problem… But why am I picking you up so early? And…” she leans forward, peaking at your ripped shirt. “Why is your shirt ripped?”
You scratch your head, the thought of explaining the situation to Mina made your brain itch. “I had to deliver at the Devil’s playground again, and got attacked.” You kept it short and sweet. Mina’s eyes widened in shock. “What?! Was it that Yoongi guy again?!”
You shake your head. “It wasn’t him, it was this group of guys. Yoongi was actually the one that saved me…” you twiddle with your fingers as your mind wanders about the raven. Mina arches a brow at the gentleness in your voice. “He saved you?” You nod slowly in response. “My god, what does he expect from you now? Sexual favors?”
Of course Mina has to be the most dramatic and think the worst possible thought of everything. “No, he didn’t ask me for any favors. Which I guess is surprising for someone with his track record.” You admit, pulling your bottom lip between your teeth. Mina starts up the car, finally moving from the restaurant premises. “Please don’t tell me you’re buddy buddy with that thug now?”
You scoff, letting your eyes roll back. “Of course not! The guy is a criminal, and stalker. I’d never befriend him,” You argue, crossing your arms. Yoongi may have saved you, but you weren’t swayed by his heroic charm. “Anyway, enough about me and my shitty day, it’s too traumatic to talk about. Did you have a talk with Jin like I suggested?” You change the subject. Mina’s face drops at the mention of her boyfriend’s name. “Yeah, we talked for about 2 minutes before it all blew up. Now we’re not on speaking terms,” She sighs. “I think maybe I should break up with him…”
You frown. ‘There she goes being the most dramatic again…’
“Mina, don’t be so damn hasty all the time.” You try to reason with the blonde. “I’m not!” She defended herself. “I’m just tired, y/n. I’m tired of trying to figure him out. I’d rather break up with him before he breaks up with me.”
Mina had never been the girl to get her heart broken. In high school she was the one always doing the heart breaking, so you could tell that it genuinely killed her to love someone as much as she loved Jin, and not know where his head was at regarding their relationship. “I don’t know, Mina… I just know if I was in your shoes with Kookie, I’d try to work things out before I think of the worst possible outcome.”
Mina pouts, but she doesn’t continue to speak. Whether she wanted to admit it or not, you were right. She shouldn’t just jump the gun and break up with Jin. Although he was acting strangely and it was confusing the hell out of her. “You know… I’m jealous of your relationship with Kookie.” She suddenly blurts, causing you to turn to her with a raised brow. “Huh?”
“I’m jealous,” she repeats. “Of you and Jungkook.”
You tilt your head to the side, your eyebrows now scrunched in curiosity. “Why?”
Mina simply shrugs, sitting quietly for a couple of minutes before answering. “You two match, and have an unbeatable connection. You started off as best friends, which played in your favor. I met Jin in the hospital because he had a broken arm. We don’t have the history you and Jungkook have.”
You smile at the compliment towards your relationship, but quickly shake your head. “History isn’t everything. Some people marry their high school sweethearts and breakup. You and Seokjin just need to be mature– or you at least.” Mina whips her head in your direction, her brows furrowed. “What do you mean by ‘or you at least’?”
“I mean that sometimes you’re immature. You tend to freak out when things don’t go your way and storm off like a child.” Mina snarls. “I’m not immature.” She muttered to herself, practically proving your point. The car finally slows down in front of your apartment before coming to a complete stop. “Thanks for the ride again, Mina. I appreciate you.”
“Of course. I’m mature enough to pick up my best friend when she needs me.” She glares, your previous comment still not sitting well with her. You shake your head, paying no mind to her attitude. “Bye, Mina. I hope everything works out with Jin.” You pushed open the car door, climbing out.
“Yeah, you and me both.” She mutters her last words before she waits for you to close the car door, speeding off into the distance with you standing there to watch. You let out a sigh, shrugging. What was the point of her asking for your advice if she was always going to dislike what you had to say?
You turn on your heels, walking up the steps that lead to your building entrance. As you venture down the hall to your apartment, you spot a shaggy haired man placing a bouquet of flowers right in front of your front door. A smile forms your face as you see the one person you longed to see after such a horrendous experience. “Kookie?”
The brunette jumps slightly, your sudden appearance catching him off guard. Once he registers that it’s you, he smiles as well. “Well shit, I wanted to surprise you with something sweet when you got off. Guess that’s a fail.” He scratches the back of his neck, chuckling. You shake your head, instantly embracing him with a hug. “It’s not a fail. I’m so happy to see you.” Even though you pretty much talked on the phone with Jungkook everyday, it felt like you hadn’t seen him in weeks.
Jungkook’s tattooed arms wrap around your waist, returning your gentle embrace. “I’m happy to see you too, angel. What’re you doing home so early though? I thought you weren’t off till 8:00?”
You bit down on your bottom lip. You wanted to start crying right there just thinking about what almost happened to you today. You hadn’t told him about your trip to Gongdan yesterday because you didn’t want him to worry, but now you felt as though he deserved to know this time. “I got attacked today.” You take a step back, showing him your torn shirt. Jungkook looks down, dumbfounded at how he hadn’t clocked your ripped shirt when you first walked in.
“By who?!” He shouts. “If it was Yoongi and his gang I swear to god–”
You shush Jungkook, looking around to make sure none of your neighbors were in the hallway eavesdropping. “Let’s talk about this inside, okay?” The brunette is pissed, but he nods, awaiting for you to open your apartment door. He grabs the flowers from the floor as you dig through your purse for your key. ‘I really need to get a keychain for this thing," you thought, finally finding the piece of metal in your bag.
You open the door, and Jungkook wastes no time storming in. He places the flowers on your kitchen table, pulling out a chair for you to sit and explain yourself. Even though he was angry he still focused on your wellbeing. You close the door, unsure if you really wanted to recite the situation. Too late to change your mind now though.
You shuffle to the seat that Jungkook pulled out for you, plopping down. “So? Was it Yoongi’s doing?”
How do you even begin to explain all of this? Yes, but not really? While Yoongi was the reason you ended up in Gongdan, he isn’t the one that attacked you. But he has taken a weird interest in you ever since the Makoto showdown between you and his trusty stooge. If you told Jungkook that though, he'd just spend every moment trying to protect you and probably do something unnecessary to get himself hurt. You didn’t want that.
So, maybe it was best to embellish the truth a bit and leave Yoongi out of it.
“I had a delivery in Gongdan today. Jimin was out sick, and I was the only one that could deliver it. A group of guys attacked me on my way back to the restaurant.” Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows. “You had a delivery at the devil’s playground and you took it? What the hell were you thinking?”
“I was thinking that I had to do my job. I had no choice, Kookie. Mr. Kim wasn’t letting me out of it. Believe me, I tried.” The brunette scoffed, redirecting his anger to Mr. Kim. “I should go down there and kick that old man’s ass,” He muttered. Jungkook was never too fond of Mr. Kim. He thought the old man could be a bit misogynistic.
“Did they hurt you?” His voice is now more tender. You shook your head. “No. I’m fine,” You assure him. “The only thing that got hurt is my precious shirt.” You laugh a bit, trying to lighten the mood. “Did they just let you go? How’d you get free?” He pressed on.
“Umm…” you trail off, your thoughts once again wandering to the raven haired man.
“So Wonder Woman, you ready to accept that ride today?”
“They got scared off by someone that happened to be walking by. Lucky me, huh?”
Jungkook sighs smoothly, crouching down in front of your chair. He takes your hands in his, interlocking your fingers. “I’m glad you’re okay, y/n. I hate to know you experienced that and I wasn’t there.” He frowns, leering down at your hands. “Jungkook, you’re not gonna be able to be there for everything, and that’s okay. You’re here now, when I need you the most.”
Jungkook looks up at you. “And I’ll stay here.”
Tumblr media
“Please remind me to stop letting you pick out movies. You always pick the cheesiest ones.” Jungkook grimaced as you two reached the end of your movie. You wiped stray tears from your eyes, glaring over at your soon-to-be boyfriend. “The Princess Diaries is a classic. I love it.” Jungkook snorts, shaking his head. “Yeah, well next time I’m picking the movie. Your selection sucks.”
You gasp, taking a pillow from the other end of the couch. “Take that back.” You cock the pillow, ready to deliver a blow. “Okay, okay. I’m sorry… that you’re ass at picking movies.” You swing the pillow down on him, and his hands go up in self defense as he laughs, his back landing on the couch cushions to better protect his face. You take this advantage to straddle the brunette’s waist, continuing your attack until he ultimately surrenders. “Okay, I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” You finally toss the pillow back down to the end of the couch, a victory smirk plastered on your face. “I knew you’d see it my way.”
“Hard not to when I’m being attacked by a pillow.” He looks up at you, still straddling his waist. Jungkook’s hands slowly roam up your legs, stopping to grip your hips. “You’re so beautiful, you know that?” Your cheeks heated up with the compliment, and you felt a sudden wave of warmth between your legs that made you anxious. This was it. There was no better time than this to lose your virginity to Jungkook.
You lean forward, pressing your lips to his pierced ones, the metal was cold against you; Jungkook didn’t hold back, or hesitate the moment your lips were against his. Your mouths moved in sync, but sloppily at the same time as though you both wanted it real bad– and you did. Jungkook’s hands moved from your hips, reaching back to cup your ass in his hands, giving your cheeks a squeeze.
You moaned softly into his mouth, rolling your hips over the rough fabric of his jeans until you felt his cock harden underneath you. Jungkook made sure to assist you, his hands pressing you down harder against his confined length. Your panties were soaked, and your mind was in a daze. You were sure that you had dampened his jeans by now. “Fuck, Y/n…” he muttered in between kisses. “We have to stop before I can’t stop.”
“Then don’t stop, I want this.” You whine, rolling your hips faster. Jungkook moans, eyes squeezing shut. “Fuck, I can’t.” He grabs your hips, forcing you to stop. You take the hint, but you can’t help the pang in your chest. Was there something wrong with you? You didn’t get it. What was he waiting for? You climb off of him, taking your place back on the couch.
It’s silent as Jungkook sits up on the couch, running his fingers through his hair. “Y/n…”
“Save it,” You cut him short. “You don’t want to have sex with me, I get it.” Jungkook shakes his head. “That’s not true. I do.” He argued. You scoff, rolling your eyes. “So then what’s the problem? I’m always practically giving signals that I’m ready and you’re holding back. You have never done that with any girl you’ve dated before me.”
“You’re not any girl I’ve dated before you.”
“Right, I’m y/n, the girl that’s been your best friend for years and the truth is that’s probably all you see me as.” Jungkook says nothing, he doesn’t even bother to argue because that’s just something he hates doing with you. “I uh… I should go.”
“Then go.” You snapped. Jungkook nods, standing up from the couch. As he walks to the front door, he looks back at you. You don’t look his way, you just continue to stare forward. “You’re not any girl I’ve dated before you.” He repeats; those are his final words before he opens the door and leaves.
Your eyes brim with tears as you finally turn, looking towards the table where Jungkook’s bouquet of flowers sat.
Tumblr media
“Well well well, look who made a full recovery today.” You eye Jimin taking orders as you walk into Makoto. Jimin smiles at you, happy to see you in what felt like forever since you two worked together. “Y/n, it’s good to see you too.” He greets. You cross your arms, not in a greeting mood. “I have a bone to pick with you once you’re done here.” You say, walking back to the kitchen to clock in.
“Y/n, good afternoon. How are you feeling today?” Mr. Kim asks you as you grab an apron from the hook, tying the black fabric around your waist. “It’s a Monday, how am I supposed to be feeling?” You speak dreadfully. You barely got any sleep after what happened last night with Jungkook, and now you were at work. Jungkook hadn’t even called or texted you. Not that you wanted him to right now.
“Well, I meant everything that happened yesterday, how are you feeling today?” He reiterates. You grab a time card, swiping it through the clock. “I’m fine, Mr. Kim.” You walk past him, taking a notepad and pen from the cup holder. Jimin walks back into the kitchen, his face suddenly pale like he was ready to puke. Maybe he was sick.
“Hey, um, there’s someone out there at table three that’s requesting for you to take their order.” He says, scratching the back of his neck. You raise a skeptical brow. ‘Requesting me? Could it be Jungkook?’ You thought. Maybe he wanted to talk in person instead of over the phone. You didn’t see why he couldn’t have waited until your shift was over and come to your apartment, but you didn’t argue with the gesture.
“Okay…?” You walk out of the kitchen towards the dining area. As you scope out table three, you don’t see Jungkook, but in fact, Yoongi, Joon, and two other guys you don’t know. That’s why Jimin looked so sickly. You shake your head, sauntering over to their table. “What’re you doing here? Was yesterday not enough?” You snap at Yoongi.
“Nice to see you too,” the raven laughs, leaning back in his chair. “Yesterday is the reason I’m here in person, sweetheart. Wouldn’t want you getting your pretty self into any more trouble in my hood.” He smirked. “You remember my boy Joon, don’t you?”
“Wonder Woman, it’s good to see you again.” You glare at Joon, rolling your eyes. You didn’t have time for this. Yoongi was the last person you cared to see right now, and you definitely never wanted to see Nam-joon again. “So are you here to order something or are you here to be the bane of my existence?”
“Depends… are you on the menu?” He bites his bottom lip, looking you up and down. Joon, and Yoongi’s other two minions snicker and you’ve decided you’ve had enough of this pig fest. “Okay, goodbye.” You turn to head back to the kitchen, but Yoongi stops you by grabbing your wrist. “I’m just joking around, sweetheart. I’m here to ask you something.” You pull your wrist from his grip, turning back to face him. “Ask me what?”
“Well, I’m having this kickback at my place tonight. I want you to slide through.” You scrunch your eyebrows together in confusion. “What on earth would make you think I’d dare to step foot into Gongdan again? And what makes you think I’d go to your shifty ass warehouse?”
“Well, I just thought after my heroism the other day you would want to thank me more properly.” You scoffed. Mina was right. He was expecting some kind of sexual favor from you. “I knew it. You only helped because you thought you could use me later on. I should’ve expected that from someone like you.” You leave their table, making your way back towards the kitchen, but this time Yoongi stands up from his seat to follow you.
“Princess,” He stops you again, his hand grazing your waist, but he doesn’t fully touch you in a manner that came across as though he was trying to respect your boundaries–for once. He steps in front of you, blocking your way to the kitchen. “It’s not like that. I helped you because I wanted to.”
“Is that so? Because it truly didn’t seem like it just a second ago.” You snarled, crossing your arms. The raven makes a “tsk” sound before continuing on. “Sweetheart, if that’s all I wanted from you then I would’ve made you give it to me right there in the alleyway. Regardless of what happened,” His face was stone cold serious. He meant that. You stood silent, not knowing what to say next.
“Listen… sometimes I have these kickbacks, and they’re a vibe, but it would be better if I saw your pretty face there.” His voice is soft, so soft that you didn’t think someone like Yoongi could produce such a tone. “I don’t think it would be a good idea for me to take a bus through Gongdan at night.”
“So don’t. I’ll pick you up.”
You sigh, slowly feeling yourself ready to cave in and you didn’t know why. You literally could not stand this man. He was a stalker for fuck sakes. A criminal. And yet… here you were ready to accept his invitation because of one good gesture, and a sudden softness to his voice. Yoongi’s eyes search for yours until they lock, a smile forming his face. For a moment as you're looking into the raven’s eyes you begin to question is he really the monster he makes people believe? Or is that all for looks?
“Hey, can we get the check please?” A customer calls out. Your eyes snap away from Yoongi’s. You had almost forgotten you were at work. “Look, I have to get back to work. I’ll… I’ll let you know.” You take your notepad, writing down your phone number. As you rip the paper from the pad, you actually begin to question your sanity. You hand the paper to Yoongi, his lips tilting in a sly smirk as he takes it.
“I look forward to hearing from you, princess.”

imagine logan seeing you again, pt.3
logan x reader
summary: In his universe, Logan and you were in love. Then you died. Now he’s in a different timeline and you are very much alive.
warning: some deadpool x wolverine spoilers. this takes place after the movie. under 1k words. THIS PART IS UNEDITED SORRY
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
Tumblr media
The air smelled like cigarettes and regrets, the perfect kind of bar for Logan Howlett. He walked in, tugging at his dark jean jacket. The place was dark sans a few overhead lights here and there, but he spotted you instantly at the bar. With your back to him, he watched as you slapped the counter several times. At first he thought you were made but he noticed the way the bartender was laughing. He moved closer to see what was going on and walked into the tail end of a story. “...and then Wade shit his pants! It was amazing.”
“I did not!”
Logan hadn’t noticed Wade next to you but the merc grew louder in trying to defend himself. Slightly amused, Logan ordered a beer and watched the pair of you go back and forth until you finally noticed him. You smiled and a hand fell on his shoulder as you stood up from the stool. He recognized how wasted you actually were and without thinking, caught you by the waist. “So you’ve been here for a while, I take.”
“Only like thirty minutes,” you mused, plopping back down onto the stool. Logan smirked and chugged down the beer placed in front of him. He was a certified drinker and the beer was basically water for the man. It felt good. He hadn’t drank much since coming to this new world - he was trying to be better but tonight, as he watched you mercilessly mocked Wade he felt like indulging. 
One night, would it be so bad?
“Logan, let’s take some shots.” You pulled him down next to you and he adjusted himself onto his seat, ignoring the way your hand on him made him feel. He needed more to drink if he was going to survive the night, so he ordered a round for the three of you. Then another and another…
“...is he always like that?”
You gazed up from the shot glass in your hand and followed the direction Logan was facing. Wade was caressing the pool stick in his hand as a failed attempt to distract the poor fella who agreed to a round. Laughing, you said yes and shrugged. “Wade is anything but boring. I like that about him.”
“How did you two get mixed up together?”
Logan felt more relaxed than when he first arrived two hours ago, his jacket was hanging off his chair and the sleeves to his dark henley were pulled up to his forearms. You tried not to stare too hard but you were only a woman. He was gorgeous and rough around the edges, defeat in his eyes but there was something more to the man next to you. 
“A friend introduced us, well, more like a frenemy of Wade’s. We’ve worked off and on for the last few years. He’s honestly, don’t tell him this, not that bad. Kind of annoying…”
Logan laughed, which surprised him more than you. His smile faded when the expression on your face turned into her. He felt ashamed, bashful, and he quickly ordered two more rounds. Sensing a shift, you changed the subject and asked if he had talked to Laura lately.
“She called the other day. Not sure I can give her what she wants…”
“Laura just needs support. People she can count on, friends,” you assured him. The rounds of tequila were brought over and Logan slid two shot glasses to you. You took one and lifted it up to him. “To Laura.”
Logan looked at you, eyes softened as his old heart beated faster than he cared for. Your hair was out of your face, eyes a bit glazed from the alcohol but there was something so different about you. Something the version of you he had loved didn’t have - happiness. You were just happy and satisfied with your life, and he couldn’t fathom it. Logan couldn’t understand how you could be so different from, well, you. There had been something so sad about the woman he loved, so melancholy. Always living for others but you, you sat next to him happy as a clam to be in some shitty little bar. With Wade accosting other customers, sitting next to a man you hardly knew but was so kind to. Logan felt sick to his stomach, guilty as hell because he wouldn't admit it. Too scared to admit that he was enjoying this version of you. Lighthearted and fun. 
You piece of shit, after all she had done for everyone. This is how you repay her? By drooling over another version of her? She died in your arms, you prick!
“Logan.”
Your voice was quietly sweet and he realized he had dazed off, immediately he pushed away all thoughts and chuckled. “To Laura.”
You grinned and clicked your glass against his before downing it. Then you toasted to Wade and Logan begrudgingly joined in for the second shot. Too much alcohol had circulated in your body now, your head felt lightheaded and suddenly, you were braver than you had ever been. Recognizing the song playing over the speakers, you casually suggested Logan take you out to dance. Logan snorted at such a suggestion, thinking you were messing with him but you just stared at him.
“You can’t be fucking serious!”
“Don’t cuss at me, Logan.”
Your tone felt very final but the smile on your face was light and in that moment, Logan couldn’t stop himself even if he wanted to. He stood up from his stool, a cold stone expression on his face as he took your hand and cursed under his breath as he pulled you to the small dancing area across the room. He ignored the staring coming from Wade, who was still playing pool. Holding back a laugh, you allowed Logan to pull you to him, one arm around your waist, while the other held your hand. His body felt strong against yours yet his fingers were gentle, tender as they held you.  Your hand slipped up his back and Logan stilled for a single moment when your head rested against his shoulder before he relaxed. He led the dance, slow methodical steps but maybe it was the drinking that had you feeling dizzy and far too relaxed. Neither of you said a single word the entire song, Logan just held you in his arms and hated that he didn’t hate it. He could have gone all night on the dance floor with you against him, his hands on you. He didn’t mind it one bit and when the song ended, he felt disappointed in so many ways.
“Thanks for the dance, Logan,” you mused, patting him on the chest. His hands fell from your body and he couldn’t manage a smile. His eyes were glued to you as you mentioned you needed to use the restroom.His fingers slowly, painfully released you from his grip. You smiled at him and walked toward the bathrooms. Logan stood there as the next song played, something more upbeat and he could feel Wade’s annoying stare but he couldn’t take his eyes off where you stood. Back home, he never danced with you. You weren’t the dancing type, you had been far too busy to enjoy those sorts of things. This had been a first for him and tried so hard to picture the woman he loved in his arms but all he could see was you. 
“You’re so fucked.”
Logan snapped out of his thoughts and glared at Wade, who stood at his side. “Got the hots for the ghost of your girlfriend, huh?”
“You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”
Wade threw an arm around Logan’s shoulder and noted he knew more than he led on. “That cute little snapshot you have in your wallet? I gotta say, you have a type.”
“Don’t touch my shit again,” Logan warned him. He forgot about the photo in his wallet. Wade smirked and nodded to where you were coming from the bathrooms. 
“Your secret is safe with me…for now, asshole. Just letting you know, you break her heart and I break your small little dick, got it?”
Logan ignored the man and pushed him away as you walked up with a curious glance. Wade flipped him off and wandered back to the pool table. You asked what that was about and Logan said nothing. “Another round?”
“Hell no,” you laughed, bouncing on the heels of your feet. “I am hungry though…I know a really good burger place…”
Perfection. That’s what you were, that’s what this all felt like for Logan and he knew then, Wade was completely right - he was so fucked. Logan agreed, the two of you walked back to the counter for your things. He put on his jean jacket and you grabbed your bag, both of you agreeing to sneak out before Wade could follow. The night was cold but Logan felt nothing but a surge of warmth fall over his body as you walked alongside him. Talkative and a bit clumsy, so much so, he resigned his hand on the small of your back. You didn’t seem to mind and he didn’t either.
So the two of you walked on, disappearing into the night crowd of the city - Logan’s hand, warm on your back.

Hello! Can I ask for a part 2 of the mother-in-law hcs exept it's with Azul, Trey and Idia this time?
The Mother in Law II
Thank you for your request. Apologies for taking so long, but life has been quite hectic these past few months. I hope you enjoy this drabble collection.
Tumblr media
Gn reader x Azul, Trey, Idia
Tw: None
1.8k words
Mama Shroud
Mama Shroud is an extremely intelligent woman and an affectionate mother, a genius in both her work and her affectionate ways.
You had only heard about her through her feats, her son sometimes commenting that the “head engineer” had made something, who you later realized was his mother.
You always had been curious about meeting his parents, but Idia always seemed reticent about it, quickly changing subjects.
One day, you went to visit him in his dorm after class.
The door to his room was opened slightly, letting you in through the small crack.
“Hi, ___! Did you come to play games with us?” asked Ortho, the one that had opened the door.
Idia was sitting in front of his pc, concentrated in a gaming session.
“I just came by to check on you both. How is it going?”
You chatted with Ortho for a bit, the angry clacking of Idia’s keyboard almost like white noise.
Suddenly, the light on Idia’s screen became brighter, the voice of a woman echoing through the room and startling all its occupants.
“Idy, pick up! It’s mamma!” repeated the voice over and over again.
The tip of Idia’s hair turned pink, as he muttered under his breath how he was sure he had blocked the voice features.
Ortho's eyes glimmered.
“___, you can meet our mom!”
He sprung from his spot on Idia’s bed, and before his brother could stop him, accepted the video call.
“Oru! How are you doing, dear?”
“I’m doing fine!”
“That’s great! And where’s Idy?”
Idia (with a little shove from Ortho) rolled his gaming chair into view of his mother.
“Hi, mom.”
His face was stuck in a strange expression, like he had sucked on a particularly sour lemon.
“Oh Idy, mamas so happy to see you. My little boy is all grown, getting himself a partner. It’s almost like it was yesterday that you were still in diapers.”
The blue in Idia’s hair was gone, replaced by a bright pink, mirrored in his cheeks.
“Mom! How do you know that?!”
“A mothers intuition never fails, sweetie.”
Ortho giggled, giving you a gentle push forward.
You stood at Idia’s side, and put your hand on his shoulder.
“Hello, Mrs. Shroud. I’m ___, Idia’s partner. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“You can call me mama, sweetheart. My, you’re quite lovely! Don’t you think so too, Idy?”
Mrs Shroud seemed oblivious to her son’s embarrassment, his face disappearing from the image as he sank into his chair, his hands hiding his face.
“…yeah.”
Mama Shroud kept the conversation going, asking you and Idia about every detail in your relationship, but seeing as her son couldn’t even look at the camera straight, you ended up answering most of them as he wallowed in shame.
“It has been lovely talking to you, my dears. But mama has to leave now. I’ll call again later. Bye bye!”
You and Ortho both waved goodbye as she ended the call.
Idia was still on the spot at the bottom of the chair, curled into himself.
“Your mom is quite lovely. I really liked her!” you assured him.
He peeked at you from the space in between his fingers.
“And Idy is quite a cute nickname.”
Idia groaned, and went back to hiding his face, as you and Ortho giggled.
Mrs Clover
Mrs Clover is a simple woman. She wears her pastry chef uniform most of the time, a hard worker who never seems to quite leave the kitchen, flour and sugar always decorating her garments and sometimes even face and nose.
Trey’s family is his pride and joy, and so is the bakery they own. As such, he wanted to take you there so you could meet them and have a taste of their recipes.
Entering through the door of Patisserie Clover made a little jingling noise echo in the pastel shop, cakes and tarts and biscuits and anything and everything sweet laying on platers, the aroma of even more sweets being made entering your nostrils and sticking to your body.
The shop was open, with many patrons lining up to purchase goodies or seating on the plush chairs while snacking and chatting.
One of Trey’s little sisters immediately spotted you, a tray of freshly made biscuits in her hand and a shocked look on her face.
She dropped the tray on the counter and turned tail, running towards the back while whisper-yelling “MOOOOOOOOM!”.
Trey chuckled under his breath.
“Let us follow her, before she gets into trouble.”
On your way to the back of the bakery, Trey hastily greeted several customers, many seemingly knowing him for many years, probably regulars that had seen him in the spot that his sister now was in.
The closer you got to the back, the warmer it got, and the stronger the smell of sugar and flour was.
“Hattie, you can’t scream like that while we have customers.” said a warm but stern voice from behind a door to what you assumed was the kitchen.
“But mooooom, Trey is here! And he was holding hands with someone!”
Trey kept on chuckling, opening the door to greet the people inside.
“Hi, mom. Hi, Hattie. Do you need some help?”
Both Hattie and his mom turned to him, bright smiles on their faces.
Hattie threw herself at her brother, giving him (at least trying to) a crushing hug.
Mrs Clover wiped her hands on her apron, giving her son a quick hug before turning to you.
“It’s very nice to meet you. You must be __, right? Trey has told us a lot about you.”
Heat crept up to your cheeks, and you mentally blamed it on the oven.
“Trey, you should have told us you were bringing your special friend over. We would have made time for them!”
She lightly scolded her son, but it was obvious she wasn’t actually mad, smearing some flour on his nose as a punishment.
“I didn’t want to disturb you too much. I know this time of the year is rather busy, so we aren’t staying for long.”
That got him a pair of saddened faces, both his sisters and mothers face dropping like melted chocolate.
“Oh…”
They didn't protest or object, but their sad faces made you feel like you had just committed a horrible act, akin to kicking a puppy.
You exchanged a look with Trey, who merely sighed.
“Maybe we can stay a little longer? If that is okay with you, of course.” you asked tentatively.
Their faces perked right up, and Hattie started dragging her brother out of the kitchen, saying how she had “the best spot for love-birds!”
Mrs Clover smiled maternally, wiping her hands on her apron even though they were already clean.
“Thank you for coming,__. Our Trey has been so happy lately, we thought you might even steal him away from us!” she chuckled at her own joke, moving forward to hold your hands in her calloused ones.
“I hope you enjoy our sweets.”
Smiling back at her, you answered.
“I already do.”
Mrs Ashengrotto
Mrs Ashengrotto is a plump and beautiful woman, exuding confidence and charm everywhere she goes, always the perfect picture of composure.
Her son respects her, even modeling himself in part to her image, but even so he seemed to be quite apprehensive of you meeting her.
She had been the one to request to meet you, curious about the one that had captured her son's heart.
Initially Azul had tried to expertly change topics, discouraging such a meeting, but his mother was not one to be outsmarted, and kept insisting.
Eventually he relented to a meeting at the Mostro lounge, but Mrs Ahengrotto insisted on a meeting in “neutral ground.”
And that’s how you ended up in a quaint hole in a wall near NRC, sitting side by side with your boyfriend.
Azul didn’t explicitly say it, always keeping his composure and a suave smile, but you could see it in his eyes, apprehension building up. He was truly out of his depth.
Mrs Ashengrotto waltzed to your table as soon as she got in, her presence captivating just by the way she walked and smiled.
She wore confidence and charm like one wears a precious piece of real jewelry, flaunting with taste and not an inch of malice.
She sat across from you, and gave you both a delicate smile.
It was nearly identical to Azul’s business smile, but while his felt too perfect to be sincere, hers felt genuine, and if it weren’t for your nerves gnawing at your stomach, you would be sure to have fallen for her charms immediately.
“Good afternoon. I hope you didn’t have to wait long for me. The traffic in the mirror was rather cumbersome today.”
“Not at all, mother. Waiting for you is never a strenuous activity.”
They gave each other their trademark polite smile, one you weren’t keen enough to understand if it was mere practice or a natural born talent, at least to the woman in front of you.
She turned to you, her smile just as bright.
“And who might you be?”
“Good afternoon, Mrs Ashengrotto. I’m your son's significant other. It is a pleasure to meet you.”
You gave your best attempt at a polite speech, having practiced it beforehand, but it sounded stiff and soulless.
Mrs Ashengrotto didn’t seem to mind, a knowing glint in her eye.
Azul gave your thigh a quick squeeze under the table.
Eventually the server came to get your orders and the meal went on without a hitch.
Azul’s mother was a skilled conversationalist, there never seemingly being a stop in interesting conversation topics.
By the end of the meal, you were completely relaxed, as if you had known this woman your whole life.
When it came time to pay for the meal, she pulled out her wallet.
“Do not worry, mother. I will pay.”
“Oh dear, I was the one that invited you both. It would be inconsiderate of me to not pay.”
Their eyes locked, a battle of minds, until the mother eventually bowed to her son.
“My, you have grown so much, Zuzu. I’m so proud of your initiative.”
Azul’s face turned a light shade of pink, immediately getting up.
“Then I shall go get the bill.”
Alone with his mother at the table, she watched her son walk away before returning to you.
“My dear, it has been a pleasure meeting you. Please take care of my son. He can be rather excessive with his work, and I'd like for him to enjoy his youth.”
You smiled at her.
“Of course. I won’t let him be swept away by the current.”
She smiled at your use of a Coral Sea expression.
“I apologize if my return brought an end to an enjoyable conversation.” said Azul, returning with fast steps, but not quick enough to be improper.
“It was a delightful conversation indeed. But we have more pressing matters.”
She gave you a conspiratory look.
“Such as, when will you visit our restaurant in the coral sea? I’d say someone with a refined palate as yours would much prefer our establishment over this one .”
You smiled at her, Azul’s eyes widening at your words.
“I’d love it if Zuzu took me there.”

Pre-outbreak Joel Miller x reader
Part: 1 2 3 4
Summary: you're falling in love with the person your dad hates the most 
Word count: 3.6k ish
Warning: none except your father is a bit deranged so maybe that's all
a/n: it was supposed to be cute little one shot but i think it's gonna be series lolol. reblogs and comments are appreciated. love you mwah
Tumblr media
Your dad hated Joel. You never knew why but it had been like this as far as you could think. Your father played the major role in trying his best to keep you away from Joel.  
BBQ party? Everyone's invited except Joel. 
Your birthday? Everyone but Joel 
He’s grumpy all day? Must've had an interaction with Joel  
He even hit Joel, who obviously retaliated but the neighbors showed up to resolve the matter.  
The whole neighborhood knew. How could they not? Your dad insulted him behind his back, which some entertained, but most of them grumbled and left the room. Because they knew Joel and they knew your dad too.  
Even you felt pity for Joel, the few rare interactions told you he may look big and fierce, but he was a charmer. Sarah’s happy face was proof of his kind nature and your anxious state of mind was a reflection of your dad’s nature.  
You once tried to defend Joel, but your father smashed the glass so hard, a sharp piece pierced the skin of your foot, leaving a scar. 
 Your parents always change the subject every time you try to bring it up,  
“Its past, it doesn’t matter,” they’d say 
But it mattered to you, a lot. Since the small get-together in the field the other night, when you first saw him. Sarah had lost track of his father, so you went looking for him with her, and that's when you first met him properly after like forever. 
Eyes locked and you swore brown became your favorite color. Your breath hitched; mouth slightly agape. He mirrored your reaction but both of you let go just as quickly, minding Sarah’s presence. They left but he turned back to bless his eyes one more time, stealing one more glance at you. The smile he slipped, held your heart forever. You prayed to the heavens to let you both meet again. 
 Working in the cafe which Sarah and her friends called their “second home”, you had befriended all those little girls. It was fun to be around them, and they loved your company. 
 You never officially met any of their parents but one of them captured your mind since that night. You didn't know what you could do without offending Sarah.  
But you didn't have to do anything, because Joel took the wheel as he showed up the next day in the cafe. Sunday meant Sarah and her friends were having breakfast together in their corner spot.  
 You came out from the kitchen, passing the tray of coffee to your coworker as you absentmindedly made your way to the counter, ruffling around with the drawer and all the papers.  
“Hey” your head shot up to the sound of the voice and the unmistakable familiarity it carried.  
“Hi” you replied breathlessly, hands frozen on the paper you just grabbed.  
“Um, can I please get a pancake?” his thick Texan accent flowed like honey, his eyes warm and eager. 
“Y-yeah, sure,” you could bet that you conjured him from your imaginations. Seeing him again in a person in less than a week was unbelievable 
You quickly turned around to pass the order to the kitchen window but stopped just as quick, lightly smacking your forehead as you returned to him,  
“Sorry, uh, which flavor would you like?” you cursed yourself for being so clumsy  
He tilted his head to the side, contemplating, before he turned on his good old charm, “su’prise me, sweetheart,” he smirked seeing the look on your face.  
Absolutely flustered at the nickname he just gave you, and how easily it rolled off his tongue.  
You smiled, mumbling a little, “okay,” before you disappeared in the back  
You took a moment, taking a deep breath steadying yourself. Hoping no one notices your flushed cheeks, and no one did.  
In a few minutes, you prepared yourself to serve him. Running a hand on your outfit once smoothing it, you took the tray and made your way to Joel. You were glad he busied himself reading a magazine because if he looked at you, you would have forgotten how to walk.  
“Hello again,” you announced, and he quickly abandoned whatever article he was reading,  
“Hey” he smiled, looking curiously at the pancake plate you just put down, followed by a cup of coffee 
“I didn’t order coffee-” 
“It's on the house, since we believe it's your first time and because your daughter is our loyal customer,” you snickered  
He chuckled, “I- thank you, so much, y’didn’t have to though”  
“Also, i chose strawberry flavor because it’s my favorite so I'm hoping you’d like it too,” you shrugged lightly before taking a step back, leaving him with his breakfast,  
Just as you turned to leave, you heard him call your name, and God that was the sweetest music to your ears. You had no idea how he knew your name, maybe sarah mentioned it, you figured 
You cocked an eyebrow,  
“You looked pretty that night”  
Your heart warmed at the confession, “thank you Joel, you looked great too” you smiled before you left 
You couldn't keep your eyes off of him. Every now and then your gaze found its way to Joel. Even after he caught you stealing glances, he just smirked. He knew what he was doing to you, you knew what you were doing to him. A game for two.  
You had your back on the counter, conversing with your coworker, when she pointed behind you. You turned to see Joel standing there, ready to leave.  
“Thank you once again, I loved the pancake, though I can’t tell if it's my favorite”  
“You could come by every week to try all the flavors until you find your preference” you suggested. Any excuse to bring him back.  
“Tryin’ all the flavors, huh? I had another reasons to come back anyway, might as well try all the other flavors” smile tugging at the corner of his smile 
Oh.  
Oh.  
You didn’t even get the chance to response when he added, “hey ya mind, if y’get the uh, the cup?” he nodded to his table 
“Yeah, sure” you were confused, why would he tell you what to do? 
You went anyway and now you know why as you looked at the tissue piece with his number scribbled in a messy handwriting  
Such a flirt. You smiled so widely your jaw hurt.  
“Is this Joel or some cute stranger left a wrong phone number on the table?”  
You read it for the thousandth time, indecisive if you should send it or is it a bold way to start a conversation. But then it’s Joel, he wouldn’t mind, you thought and hit send.  
Your heart was beating fast, wanting to throw your phone across the room. Checking every other second if he replied, then a few minutes later,  
J- “Stranger? I thought we were befriendin' each other”
you giggled at the response, feeling like a young teenager having her crush moment 
“Well, we’re getting there”  
J- “That so? Hope you realize your dad isn’t really my fan”  
 
“Yes, and I wonder why” curiosity creeping back up at you, 
J- “We got into a fight back then during a job we did, since then we just couldn’t get along”  
Now was that too hard to disclose? Your parents were just dramatic, you thought. 
Before typing your response, he started typing again so you waited,  
J- “Wish it doesn’t change our sweet journey of becoming friends”
you read his text, wide grin plastered on your face , though a little disappointed that he only wants friendship, but you felt giddy nevertheless 
The next week was the beginning of your new, fragile relationship. Joel would stop by at your cafe any chance he got.  
I missed my morning coffee (he missed it on purpose) 
I’m tired and I thought coffee might help (he just wanted to see you)  
Sarah and her friends wanted pancakes (he asked them, “you guys don’t have to go, I'll get you your order if you want” he’d say and gets “okay, Mr. Miller!” “that’s so kind, Mr. Miller”) 
Weeks went by, and you grew to his presence at random hours. You started to look forward to him showing up randomly. Your coworkers were quick to welcome him, noticing how your face would light up every time he was around.  
He made a three-day streak of visiting before he didn’t show up for 2 days. A part of you wanted to text him to find out if he was okay, but you wanted to give it one more day, and you were not even sure about the thing you both had going on. 
  You were preparing the order, Oliver standing next to you, working on his order and occasionally making you laugh with his corny jokes when Gina, another coworker, showed up at your side, pulling you away from your half-done coffee,  
“I’ll take it from here, go and deal with your favorite customer” she nudged your side, 
You couldn’t help but let the smile make its way to grace your lips, but you had to play dumb, 
“What?”  
Gina gave you the stare that said really?  
You snickered as you left, your heartbeat quickening, exhaustion already leaving your body as you saw him sitting at his usual spot, the corner table that nobody likes, so it’s always available, your favorite spot since him. 
You reached him and instead of staying seated as usual, he got up and walked closer to you. It has been 2 days and you didn't know how much you missed him now that he was standing in front of you, all you wanted was to hug him and never let him out of your sight.  
He took one more step towards you, maintaining eye contact as he slowly raised his hand to your waist and pulled you into him in one swift motion. You stiffened at first, then you locked your arms at his nape melting into his big frame. You took a deep breath like this was something you were missing all your life. 
“Hello to my favorite customer,” you smiled at him when you detached yourselves from each other 
“Hello to you too, my sunshine,” he replied, matching your smile 
You both returned to the table, and he slid a small bag towards you, you didn’t have to open to know what was inside, strawberries, as he started getting you those ever since you told him that strawberries were your favorite. 
Whenever you got free from your morning shift, you two would sit in the reserved area of the cafe just to talk. That’s what you both did. Talk about everything and anything. You didn’t need to pretend, you were completely yourself around him, and he, with you.  
He kept buying you strawberries because you loved them. And in turn you would treat him with extra cup of coffee on random days 
Any little time you spent together felt like an escape from reality and everything it offered. There was no toxicity, just pure, innocent and effortless conversations along with different flavors of pancakes.  
Sarah admired Joel showing interest in your company. She wasn’t young enough to see how happy you both looked, and she was genuinely glad about that. She would even make excuses for Joel to come to the cafe,  
Hey dad, can you please bring my notebook, I forgot it on the table and we’re discussing something 
And boy would he be beyond happy whenever he gets the opportunity to show up at the cafe. 
But like waking up from a really good dream,  
Joel had just entered the cafe, standing on the counter, chatting with you (not blocking the way of customers) while you received orders when your eyes went wide at the figure entering through the door,  
“What is it?” Joel asked casually 
You ducked your head, “its dad” you whispered and saw how Joel’s face fell. You both knew you weren’t allowed to hang out with Joel, let alone be around him.  
Suddenly his demeanor changed as he cleared his throat, looking down at the menu card, feeling your dad approaching. You managed to keep a serious and bothered face as you saw your dad stopping deadly in his tracks as he saw Joel. oh boy  
“There are other cafes in the town” your dad grunted, indirectly referring to Joel, who only rolled his eyes in response.  
You bit a smile at his reaction, “hey dad! Didn’t know you were coming” you tried to alleviate the thick tension.  
Your dad gave you a tight nod, “yeah, get me two blueberry pastries; your mom called”  
Never the friendly face, annoyance etched on his face like it was there since he was born. Your father was exactly the kind of customers you hated. Acting like a boss, like you owe a million dollars.   
You looked between two of them before you left to get the box. On your return, you didn’t spot Joel. You frowned, wondering if your dad had said something to him. Your thoughts were cut short by your dad; 
“No need to serve him, tell him to go any other cafe, there are plenty of them,”  
You were speechless, he was being absolutely ridiculous.  
“Wha- dad? He’s just a customer, you can't bring your years’ old absurd beef in this-”  
“Do as i tell you, and if you can’t, then leave the job, you can do better anyway” he threatened in low voice, pointing his finger at you, before leaving 
You knew your dad was overreacting but you kept your mouth shut because you knew he wouldn’t care about the people and just shout on you if you disagreed with him 
It was midnight, your mind was running a hundred thoughts a minute since your dad showed up today. You had no idea how to tell Joel to stop coming to the café, like how could you stop him when it made you the happiest? 
 “Hey, you awake?” you texted joel  
He didn’t reply for 10 minutes, then your phone chimed, you quickly turned it on to see his text,  
J- “Yeah, I'm up, why aren’t you asleep yet?” he replied 
“Wondering what dad told you today at the cafe” there was no filtering when you were with Joel, sharing every piece of your mind and not regretting it 
J- “Except telling me to not ‘roam around you’ he didn't really say anything”  
You were embarrassed, why did your dad have to be like that? you felt bad for Joel 
“I’m sorry” you sent before typing “I just wish he wouldn’t stop you from the cafe, your presence feels natural there”  
J- “Don't be sorry, sweetheart, I didn't mind it at all. He’s only looking out for you; we'll figure it out. plus, I think I can sneak in when I get the chance ;)”  
You scoffed at his text, looking out for me? More like suffocating me from things that I actually like. But you felt affection for him in the way he was willing to be with you.  
It had been a week, he showed up two times. Two times. A day apart. Then he disappeared for the rest of the week. 
After the 3rd long day of him not showing up, you started to worry. Two hours of constant contemplating later, you decided to text him, 
“Hey, Joel” 
It's Sunday afternoon, 2pm. Not that Joel would have something to do so you wait for his text. You toss and twist in bed, smoking cigarettes, reading old magazines, scrolling on your phone, an hour later, there was no reply. 
4 hours; nothing.  
8 hours; nothing.  
Next day, beginning of next week. You passed by his house, praying to get at least a glimpse of him but there was nothing.  
You didn’t even see him on the streets, not with Sarah, just nowhere. As if he didn't even exist.  
  Still your ears pricked up every time you heard the door to the café ring, desperately hoping it was Joel, but it was never him.  
Sarah and her friends were seated at their accustomed table. It distressed you to see Sarah, not knowing how to go and ask her about her dad.  
It upset you even more when Gina asked you about him every other day, and more hurt when you had to lie, like “oh he’s just busy,”  
But Gina knew better when she saw you with pity in her eyes, that look that told you, I'm sorry he ghosted you.   
  You had to hold back your tears to keep her from knowing that she was right.  
But you broke down the second you locked the room to your room, lighting a cigarette, you placed it between your puffy red lips as the tears streamed down your cheeks,  
“Where the hell are you, Joel?” you hit send and threw your phone as you sat on the windowsill, watching the cars go buy,  
You got out of the bathroom when you heard your phone ding, you all but ran to the bed, grabbing and swiping it on,  
J- “Yeah, just around. How’s everything?”  
You were taken aback by the carelessness. As if it wasn't bothering him, as much it was bothering you. As if he didn’t miss you at all like you did. As if it all didn’t matter. As if you didn't matter 
“Really? You ghosted me for two weeks and now you're acting all chill?” you replied 
Frustration getting the best of you, you wanted to cry again.  
J- “Look, I think it’s best for the both of us”  
“Fuck what you think, fuck you” you sent   
You could feel the tears pricking at the corner of your eyes. You threw your phone on the table before falling on the bed, face first.  
The next thing you know is you're sobbing, muffling the sounds with the pillow on your face. You didn't realize how much you were attached to him until now, you didn't know how much you wanted to be with him until now.  
You got up to smoke a cigarette to release the stress, but you cried while exhaling puffs of smoke in the air  
Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him 
The next two days were a blur. You avoided spending extra time in the cafe, avoided conversations with your coworkers because they ended up asking about Joel. Your father picked a fight with a random guy just because he took longer to deliver some equipment that he ordered online; it was stupid really. You avoided Sarah too, because she painfully reminded you of Joel  
I'm only giving it time, I'll get back to normal eventually, you’d tell yourself  
The third day, you were brewing coffee when your phone vibrated, turning it on, your heart dropped to the stomach as you read Joel’s name on it 
Quickly you swiped to view the message,  
J- “Can we talk?” you felt anxiety rising up. A part of you was excited that he texted while the other part of you was furious, he can't just come and go as he pleases 
You were lost in your thoughts when you received another message, J- “please?”  
You decided to let things be, he ghosted me for a week, now he wants to talk, he can't expect me to go back running  
Putting your phone down, you carried on with your work until it was night. 
You closed the cafe as you stepped out, you saw a familiar truck parked beside your car.  
Unmistakably Joel. 
He stood there leaning against his truck, cigarette smoke around him like a halo. He pushed himself up as he spotted you and he made his way to you.  
You stood there frozen. Resisting the strong urge to go and hug him and never let go. But you stood there and waited,  
He came close but didn't stop until he was only a few inches away from you. Looking at your face, examining it, eyes running all over your features,  
“Sarah said you looked horrible, but God you look worse,” he whispered. Scared if he talks loudly, this all would shatter,  
“Like you care?” you retorted.  
That's when you saw in his eyes. Regret. Remorse. Before he hung his head down, 
Slowly he reached for your hands, hanging on your sides, silently interlacing your fingers. You didn't stop him. You couldn’t  
“Please, can we talk?” his voice was small as he looked at you 
You nodded  
He released a breath, that even he didn’t know he was holding, as he nodded too 
With your fingers still interlaced, he tugged you toward his truck. You both walked the distance, hand in hand as you felt droplets of water kissing your skin.  
You went rigid making Joel turn and face you, watching you wipe away the water beads from your face. A few more drops on both of you before the rain lashes down. 
Joel instinctively became your human shield, as you both ran towards his truck, even though that wouldn’t keep you from drenching, but the action was so Joel. Reaching there, he quickly opened the door for you before getting himself inside from the other side.  
Both of your breaths were ragged as you sat in silence.  
He ignited the engine bringing his truck to life,  
“Where are we going?” you broke the silence  
He sighed, “I- uh, had tis place in mind but,” he looked out the window, at the rain, “‘s rainin’ so we can stay in the truck, I guess,”  
“What place?” you were confused,  
“Y’gonna love it, trus’ me” a small smirk growing in the corner of his lips

*Two Months Later*
‘I’m in Virginia. Just like you. How peculiar?’
Hands slightly shaking you gently placed your phone down on the conference room table. It never was going to stop. The slight form of torture this cruel man imposed on you. Knowing that just when you seemed to forget about him, he’d come crawling right back into your field of view. Remind you that he was always going to win. He’d been messing with your head sending these vague texts from new numbers after you blocked the old. It wasn’t enough that you’d changed your number three fucking times now, he always seemed to find a way.
You’d contemplated asking Garcia for some help. She would make you disappear in an instant. But, then you’d have to deal with the repercussions of telling the office gossip the juiciest tea that they’d had in a while. They’d all know, and you weren’t sure you could deal with that just yet. You were finally feeling steady and confident in your abilities again. Feeling like you were doing great at work again. You couldn’t mess this up.
Truth be told you hadn’t a clue what came next after this. JJ was still planning to be off for another few months. Perks of having a decent government job, as they say. But what came after that? Were you really just planning on running away time and time again only to be chased by this guy? That wasn’t a life you wanted to live. It wasn’t a life you were willing to live if you were honest with yourself.
An opaque sheen glazed over your eyes as you looked outside ignoring the text that loomed over you so harshly. It’d been five days since he bothered you. You’d almost forgotten. Almost.
A featherlight touch brushed over your shoulder breaking you out of the trance you were deeply in. Jumping your eyes widened when you spotted Aaron looking down at you.
Things were… complicated with him. You liked him. He liked you. But it couldn’t happen. No matter how much either of you wanted it to. They just couldn’t. Not while he was your boss. He had made that adamantly clear in the two months you’d been working for him. The two of you seemingly having the conversation almost every week now.
“Sorry.” His usual stoic face didn’t break as he sat down next to you, “I was calling for you. Everything okay?”
You hummed while nodding your head, “Yup. Just thinking.” Absentmindedly you grabbed your phone holding it in your hand on the opposite side from him. He noticed. He noticed all the small things about you and what you did. The things you probably didn’t even know that you were doing. How sometimes you got spacey when your phone went off. How you were clearly hiding something from him. But he wouldn’t push. It wasn’t his place as your boss. Not until it affected your work did, he have a right. No matter how much he desired too.
“Are you sure?” He raised an eyebrow, challenging you. He knew how much you hated that. Hated being questioned like a toddler. Being the only not profiler on the team had you on the defensive all too often now.
“I’m good Hotch.” You nodded briefly before getting up. Being around him was downright suffocating. It was hard to be alone with him when you wanted so much more. It was selfish to run. Childish even but you couldn’t stand it. Not when the two of you danced around the subject so awkwardly.
“Wait… Y/N. Before you go.” He coughed spinning around in the chair.
You paused. He hardly used your first name at work. He knew exactly what to do to get you to stop. Pause for him, “Yes, Hotch?”
He stood, towering over you as he stopped in front of you. Hotch just made you feel small. Not that it was a bad thing per say. Just intimidating. And right now, Aaron Hotchner was terribly fucking intimidating without even trying to be. Whatever he asked you were sure you’d answer, all too honestly.
He decided to confront you. He hadn’t a clue what came over him as he started stating facts. The profiler coming out, “You’ve hidden your phone away the last four times I’ve run into you lost in your thoughts.” He paused collecting his thoughts, “You get all spacey and people have a hard time getting your attention. Is everything alright?”
Your heart rate picked up. How’d he notice? He was the best of the best but damn. You thought you did so much better, “You sound like Spencer.” You remarked, clearly deflecting.
“Y/N.”
You sighed, “Please don’t tell the rest of them?” You knew there wasn’t a chance you could come up with an excuse good enough to please Hotch. It was the truth that had to be told.
He nodded offering your seat back to you. Slowly walking back to the chair, you sat there staring back out the window before starting the long story of how you fell in love, fell into a trap, got engaged to a monster, and somehow got away before he fully killed you. Or so you thought.
He never interrupted you. Sitting there patiently as you divulged your biggest secret to your boss. The man you had a disgustingly big crush on. He only continued when you paused for a while. He knew it was the end of your story and it had taken a toll on you telling him all of that. He needed to come at you gently now. It explained so much about you.
“Y/N… that’s a lot.” He sighed knowing his words weren’t great. He was a good boss but never good with words. He showed his love for his teams through his actions. He always seemed to fumble his words, “I’m so sorry.”
You nodded, “It’s fine. It’s not the worst part.”
His head snapped right back to you, “What’s the worst?”
“He found me again. He’s been texting me. A new phone number every few days. Usually something threatening.” You opened you phone showing him the latest text message.
He snatched it from your grasp reading over it carefully. Well, this officially sucked for you. Maybe you should’ve told him sooner judging by the expression on his face, “You know I have to go to Garcia. She’s going to have to trace this…”
You interrupted him, “No! Please Aaron no. They can’t know. You promised.”
“This is serious!” He snapped, never taking safety lightly.
You took an involuntary scoot backward in the chair. Fight or flight mode beginning to kick in hearing his stern voice that he rarely used with the team.
Seeing your distressed face, he shook his head internally cursing himself for the outburst. You’d literally just spilled your deepest fears to him, and he was already seemingly betraying that trust already. Putting his hands up he took a small step forward, testing your boundaries, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to raise my voice it’s just that this is very serious Y/N. We both know what he’s capable of. This isn’t something you hide. Not when you work here.”
You nodded looking away in guilt, “I’m sorry. I thought I could handle it.”
“You don’t have to handle it alone Y/N. You’ve got some of the smartest people in the field right here. All the resources you need at the tip of your fingers. You know the team would never judge you for something you can’t control. Please tell me you know that much.” Aaron’s face softened seeing you so upset.
“Yeah, it’s just… I don’t know.” You sighed while you rested your head in the palm of your hands refusing to look at him. This felt awkward and uncomfortable. Your absolute nightmare.
He waited a moment, realizing you weren’t talking anymore, “Go on. Say what you want to.”
“It’s embarrassing. How could I not have caught that he was lying the whole time? It’s shameful.”
He shook his head scooting closer to you, “And I got played by a serial killer who literally murdered my ex-wife and almost took me too. It’s not embarrassing. It happens. The best of the best get beaten. Believe it. You’re a victim and you’re being retraumatized right now. Please. I need you to understand that. I’ve grown to…” He took a second to find the right words, “care for you. I can’t see you beaten down and scared around every corner. Alright?”
You shook your head. You heard him. You weren’t sure if you believed him, but you sure did hear him, “Sure.”
He waited another moment before continuing, “That being said. I don’t have to go to Penelope if you have somebody stay with you. A friend? Just in case.”
You frowned. Not having anybody was really coming to bite you in the ass. It’s not like Hotch was going to drop this, you knew that was a given, “I don’t have anybody around here. I haven’t really had time to make many friends. Busy job and all.” You admitted still trying to find a footing outside of work. Although the hours made it damn near impossible.
He thought for approximately one second before springing into action, “Let me call Jess. She could probably watch Jack tonight…”
You shook your head back and forth, violently, “No!”
“Why not?” He looked genuinely confused.
“That’s weird Hotch. You’re just my boss.” You might’ve thrown a little more attitude in there than you really needed to, but you wanted him to know how unhappy you were with that. How much you yearned to at least be considered friends. But he shut it down the second you crossed the line.
“It’s not weird.” He would’ve scoffed if he knew it wouldn’t have upset you. He was getting good at making you upset. That was about the most opposite thing of what he wanted, “I’ll sleep on your couch. Just to make sure you’re safe.”
You sighed knowing the two of you would just be going back and forth but you needed him to hear how crazy he sounds, “Aaron. I’m not letting you abandon your son for the night to sleep on my couch. I’ve been fine for the last two and half months. I’ll be fine tonight.” You smiled hoping it’d appease him.
He shook his head, “Yeah, that’s just not going to happen. Not now that I know about it.”
“Hotch…”
“No, that’s final. Jess is good with watching him for the night anyway.” He held up his phone showing you the text as proof.
“You’re being insane.” You leaned back in your chair annoyed with his stubbornness.
“And you’re being irrational.” He countered annoyed with your inability to see how serious this really was, “Y/N. He probably knows exactly where you live. If he found you that quickly he’s probably been watching you.”
You shook your head, “I’ve been paying attention Hotch.” Eyes closed you didn’t want to admit you were almost afraid to open them. You knew you were pissing him off. It wasn’t often that anyone, besides Rossi, argued back to the boss. It was his way or the highway, as they say.
“I’m not saying you haven’t Y/N. But these people… people like that will never stop. That text is very threatening. Please. Please just let stay over. To make sure you’re okay.” He was saying the words he couldn’t say but he needed to. Your unwillingness just to see how scary this really was drove him to his breaking point.
Huffing you gave him a small nod, “Fine. But going forward…”
He cut you off, “We’ll figure out going forward tomorrow. Don’t worry about it tonight.”
“But Hotch…”
Cutting you off again you groaned in annoyance, loudly, “Just, try to relax. I’ll think of something. I know you don’t want me to tell the team and I’m going to try and respect that. But you have to know if it’s between your safety or them knowing… keeping you safe is all that matters.”
Your leg bounced up and down and your stomach feeling uneasy you looked up to him, “Yeah, sure.” Simply too tired to argue with the ever-confusing man you shut your laptop before getting up to go pack up. It was already half past eight, the team was long gone.
The sun was beginning its descent for the night, casting an orange hue on your boss. It dawned on you as you admired, he man you’ve been crushing on way too hard, being teased and all about it, that he was staying in your apartment that night. Under any other scenario it was entirely desirable but now? Not so much. Not under these circumstances.
“Where are you going?” He asked, slightly surprised you’d been so bold as to walk away in the middle of the conversation.
“Packing up then going home.” You paused in the doorway sneaking a quick peek back at the man you was watching you intently.
He frowned after hearing your words, “Give me three minutes then I can drive.”
“Oh, I can drive myself home. I’ll text you the address.” You gave him a half-hearted smile. Truth be told you were far too excited to have him spend the night. Even if it was in another room. He insisted on it. But then again, he’d already set a clear line in the sand with you. You could only be his employee when you worked for him. Nothing more. Nothing less.
He smiled trying to ease your obvious nerves, “You’re being weird about it.”
“I’m being weird? Hotch, it’s fucking weird.” You spun back around preparing to walk away before he caught your attention again.
“It’s only weird if you make it weird.” His smile turned into a smirk. He knew how you felt for him. You were pretty sure you knew how he felt for you. This back and forth was driving you mad. Like he wanted to play the game but knew it couldn’t be won.
You wanted to smack the usually so intelligent man, it felt like he was just playing you like a fiddle now, “Yeah, sure.” This time you walked away making sure to pack up quickly. Your speedy exit was stopped suddenly as he got into the elevator with you. Somehow with his go-bag and all.
“What’s wrong?” He asked setting his bag down turning his body completely to you. He knew what he was doing to you. He knew it was mean. He couldn’t deny it. But he loved flirting with you, getting you a little wound up. He’d be lying if he didn’t say he adored you just as much as you liked him, if not more. But he couldn’t risk it. For his career. For your blooming one.
You leaned your shoulders and head back on the metal wall, “You’re kidding?” You sighed while lazily flipping your head in his general direction.
“I’m not.”
Rolling your eyes, you knew he’d make you say it out loud. It was easier to spit it out than skirt around the subject, “This is torture. Working so close to you all the time. You flirting like that then turning me down the next fucking second.”
“You know why nothing can happen.”
“I’m very well aware. We’ve had this conversation before Hotch. A million times.” The two of you had delicately danced around the conversation, never full on admitting any feelings. Hotch had to squash that before it came to fruition.
He visibly frowned knowing he was upsetting you, “You can call me Aaron.”
“But I can’t! None of your other employees do. So why should I? What makes me special Hotch?” You challenged him. He couldn’t have both at once. He couldn’t just be your boss then talk to you like this. It was driving you mad.
He sighed knowing you were right, “Rossi doesn’t.”
“Rossi’s different and you know that.” You were frustrated. As much as you loved the job you couldn’t keep going down the path of yes one moment and no the next. Hotch just couldn’t comprehend just how crazy he was driving you. Either that or you were hiding it insanely well.
He cleared his throat knowing he really only had this chance to not fuck it up between the two of you. He’d been trying to come up with different ways always to be struck down in his own mind. He’d continue thinking though, for both of your sakes.
“Y/N. I like you. More than a boss should like their employee.” He paused letting out the breath he was holding in, “I can’t risk anything right now though. I can’t risk it and you can’t risk it. Not with this guy out to hurt you, with Strauss up my ass about the team…” He trailed off knowing this was just turning into an excuse now.
The elevator chirped as Hotch paused, signaling you were at the bottom. You walked out quickly hoping he wouldn’t follow. When he met your stride, you continued on, “It’s fine Hotch. I get it. Please just stop playing with me when the team isn’t around. It’s diving me crazy. If it can’t happen, it can’t happen, and I can accept that. I just need you to back off.” It hurt you to push him away. Even if he was staying at your place your quietness and unwillingness to even open up to him let him know you were shutting him away.
Turning away from him before you could see his reaction you walked to your car briskly hoping he’d just take his. It’d be far too awkward to share a vehicle now. Not after you just said that to him.
But you were sorely mistaken. You heard him following along. Not so close as to freak you out but close enough to where you knew he was there, “Keys.”
“I can drive myself.” You retorted irritated with him. He wasn’t listening and it was making you irrationally angry. Acting as if what you just said didn’t faze him.
“No, you really can’t. You’re upset and you really shouldn’t drive when you’re angry.”
Biting your cheek, you knew he was right. You placed your car keys into his outstretched hand. Refusing to look at him you walked to the passenger’s side contemplating sitting in the backseat knowing it’d cause more problems than it was worth. Sliding into the passenger’s side front seat you crossed your hands over your chest in disdain. Could he not say a single fucking thing? This was how you knew you were in deep. You cared way too much about this little pickle you’d gotten yourself into.
This time the ride was awkwardly silent as you looked out the window. Putting your address into the GPS without saying a word. Keeping your eyes locked on the world outside you let your thoughts take control.
The silence was broken when he finally said something. Almost as if he could hear your thoughts screaming at him, “I’m sorry, Y/N.” He sighed bringing your eyes over to his. You couldn’t help but to look at him. You wanted him to say something but had no idea how to respond to this.
He continued before you could say anything, “I didn’t mean to hurt you. I’m sorry, I’m selfish with you. I know I can’t pursue you like I want to. Trust me, I want to.” He whispered the last part out. Almost afraid to admit it out loud. As soon as he does it becomes real.
He sighed again. Frustrated the words weren’t coming easy for him. Your soft eyes broke him down even further. He knew his next words would put a final nail in the coffin, for now at least, “If you weren’t on my team, we’d be having a very different conversation Y/N. Please believe that. I’m so sorry that I’ve been selfish… done and said things I shouldn’t have. I won’t do that anymore.”
You looked away biting your cheek as hard as you needed to stop the tears from flooding out of your eyes. Why was this so difficult? Why did you have to have feelings for the one fucking man you could never have?
He frowned knowing he had hurt you yet again. It was his own fault he had to keep hurting you and it stung knowing the tears in your eyes were a result of his actions. He kept bring you right back to him and he knew it. He wanted to stop. He needed to stop knowing just how fucked up what he was doing was. Especially now that he actively realized it after you so bluntly pointed out.
“I’m sorry, Y/N. I really am. I’ll figure something out.” He whispered out not knowing if you really heard him. He knew saying those last words were dangerous, likely to draw you right back into him.
It dawned on him that he simply couldn’t push you away anymore. It was beginning to hurt him. It had been hurting him already, he just hadn’t realized. That’s why he was always so flirtatious and open with you, he wanted it. His stupid head just didn’t let him know it yet. Not until he knew he was the reason for your tears. For your unsureness with him. He did this to you. He had to fix it.
He needed to be around you. He had to figure this out. He knew the only option was to find you another placement, but he’d come up short. There was plenty out there but nothing good enough for your abilities. So, he had to pass, for your sake. Time was running up. JJ was due back in the next few months too.
He had no other option than to go to Strauss. He hated it knowing he’d be obligated to her, but she’d find you a good place to land. Somewhere close at his request. That was absolutely necessary. Especially now since he knew your position, the imposition.
You heard him though. Loud and clear. Giving you whiplash yet again. You weren’t sure how clearer you could be to the man yet here he was saying all the right things. The words were slowly becoming meaningless to you. He got a little nervous not hearing you reply to him. At the next red light, he looked over seeing you looking out the window with all your attention, clearly ignoring him. He’d done it now. His own indecisiveness driving you right away. He knew if he didn’t do something soon, you’d move on from him.
“Y/N.” He touched your shoulder gently.
Turning to look at him you attempted to give him an expressionless face. A frown crossed over your features instead, “Yeah?” Your usual confident voice came out as weak, squeakier than normal. You hated that he affected you so easily. So deeply.
“Did you hear me?”
You sighed, “I did.”
He had to look forward after a car honked at him. Sitting a second too long as the green light, “Please say something, I’m sorry. I really am.”
“Okay.” You let out. You knew it would frustrate him, but you didn’t have any thoughts just yet. Your brain wanted to shut down instead of talking it out. You were tired of the same conversation with him. Only to be disappointed.
“Okay?” This time he let out a small, short sigh. Not in frustration at you but at himself. For being so blasé with you. Thinking he had it figured out with you but now knowing he had it so terribly wrong.
“I’m not sure what you want me to say Hotch.” You couldn’t use his first name. Not if you wanted to stop feeling this way. It’s like the two of you were so close, so damn close to figuring it out. But yet it felt nearly impossible. You were at a loss for words. Truly, had no idea what to say to the man that always seemed to be on your mind.
“I don’t want you to say anything you wouldn’t want to say Y/N. I want to know what you’re thinking.”
If he really wanted to know? Fine, “You’re so fucking confusing Hotch.” You blurted out placing your hands over your face while looking down at your feet. The car felt so small now, suffocatingly small as he pulled into your apartment complex, eyes now fully focused on you.
Nodding his head he loosened his tie, “I’m selfish and I’m sorry. I will figure this out. I promise you that.”
“Figure what out though? What is this? What are we? I can wait but I can’t wait forever.” Your eyes began welling up again. You hated that your response to any emotion seemed to be tears. Never in your life would you have imagined yourself in this situation. Crying over a
“Hey,” Gently, he placed a hand along your back hoping it’d bring you some peace, anything he could offer, “I like you beyond words Y/N. I’m sorry I’ve been too stupid to realize it. I’m so sorry I’ve hurt you. You don’t know how bad I want to just say fuck it and kiss you right now but that’s not fair to you. Me saying that isn’t fair to you.”
You could hear your heart rate pick up as blood rushed throughout your entire body. He was actually torturing you now. For too long you’d had little daydreams fantasizing about the older man. What it’d be like at home, away from work, just the two of you and Jack. You’d met the little firecracker of a kid a few times over the last few months, he quickly took to you Aaron noticed. Just another reason why he liked you so much. You are a natural energy, drawing everybody in. It worked so easily on him he wasn’t surprised Jack liked you so much.
Giving your shoulder a gentle squeeze, he continued, “I like you. I want to pursue you. I can’t until I know you have a job elsewhere.”
“A job elsewhere?” You too knew it was one of the only options, the only option. It just felt so foreign coming from his mouth. Not wanting to admit how fond you’ve grown of the team in your short tenure you dreaded having to prove yourself again to the next batch of colleagues.
He nodded, “Somewhere close. Where I’m not your boss.” His eyes searched for your as you dropped your hands. You hated to admit it but here you were, right back in his grasp, literally. The man had a strangle hold on you.
Head turning to his you leaned into his touch, “Are you sure?”
A small smile graced his face, “I should be asking you that Y/N. I don’t know what you see in me.”
Rolling your eyes, you knew the difficult part of the conversation was over. The awkward and uncomfortable air started to lift, “Shut up. You’re the whole package, Aaron.”
“I’m over fifteen years older than you.” Now it seemed Aaron was letting his insecurities out
You shrugged still so grateful he was still holding onto you, as if you’d vanish out of thin air if he let his hand go from your shoulder, “And?”
“Guys your age…”
“Guys my age suck. Remember? I’m running from one. Not so successfully.”
His smile faded quickly as he remembered exactly why he was here, “Let’s get you inside, yeah?” On high alert he hopped out of the car quickly walking to your side. Before you could be too disappointed with the loss of touch on your shoulder, he quickly wrapped you into his side. Slowing his pace down to keep up with you he kept checking his positions. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, at least not to you.
“Yeah, sure.” You replied knowing it’d drive him mad. Short answers like that pissed him off usually. But now you were using the same words you used earlier to dismiss him.
“Okay well now you’re just being difficult.” He smiled knowing you we’re playing with him. Another reason he had fallen so quickly for you. You weren’t afraid to throw it right back at him.
You bit your lip trying to stop the automatic smile that came to your face. You were being difficult, and you knew it. Catching a glimpse of you with his peripherals Hotch smiled too knowing he’d smoothed it over, at least for now.
Your phone vibrated as he locked the door behind himself. Your heart sunk as you read over
“Y/N?” You vaguely heard before handing the phone to him. He was watching you.
‘A new boyfriend, really?’
Tumblr media
“I’m calling Garcia and that’s final. We’re done talking about it.” He didn’t yell but he definitely spoke with that Hotchner authority that scared the living hell out of nearly everybody.
The two of you had argued it out into the night and well into the morning before falling asleep on the couch, together. You’d fallen asleep first nuzzling your way right into his side. Not having the heart to move you, even after arguing back and forth for the previous four hours.
“It’s for your safety, Y/N. Please just understand that. It’s not just some silly little text anymore. This is serious.”
Letting out a sigh you nodded, “Fine.” You weren’t going to win this one. The man was seriously stubborn, even more so than you.
“Thank you.” He popped his phone out calling Garcia almost immediately. He excused himself to the other room. Finishing the oatmeal you’d made you quickly changed. He’d given the team the weekend off knowing that you’d all been on the road for the last few and needed a break.
Before too long he came back into the kitchen where you were cleaning up, “She’s looking into it, discreetly.”
You nodded, “Okay, can we got get some coffee or something? I don’t imagine you’ll let me spend this weekend alone?”
He shook his head, “No. Sorry, I know it wasn’t in your plans. My parents already picked up Jack. He’ll be there until they drop him off at school on Monday.”
“Plans change I suppose. I’m sorry you aren’t spending time with him. I know these weekends are precious.” A small pang of guilt ran through you. He was giving up his time with his boy for you. Willingly. You felt awful poor Jack. You’d taken his dad away for the weekend.
“Like you said, plans change.” He didn’t want to admit the little bit of excitement that came with the thought of spending a weekend with you even at the disappointment at his little guy.
“So, coffee?” You changed the subject back not wanting to dwell on the young boy.
He nodded, “Coffee sounds good. I’ll drive.” He went to grab your keys off the rack beating you to them.
“Don’t you need your car? And clothes?” You asked when you realized he was quite literally stranded here. It’s not like you had anything to give him to wear other than a few oversized sweatshirts and sweatpants.
“We’ll stop by my place on the way back.”
“Are we close?”
He nodded, “Relatively.”
Placing your order online the ride to the shop was uneventful. Both of you were scanning the surrounding cars for any sign of the man. It’s like he was in stealth mode.
His phone rang as he pulled in. It wasn’t like he could ignore it. He was SSA Aaron Hotchner after all. Walking inside you let him take the call from the car knowing it’d take you less than a minute to walk in and grab the order.
It should have been that quick. That was until you were cornered feeling a metallic blade press up against your hip bone. How in the fuck had he slipped past Hotch? How in the hell was he here? You smelled him instantly in that dreaded cologne.
“Y/N.” That voice you’d prayed you’d never have to hear again spoke out to you.
Trembling you knew you had to keep him distracted, “Get the fuck away from me.”
“Nice to see you, alive and well.” He chuckled knowing that’d bring you right back to the night he left you to die.
He was ignoring you. Nothing you could say or do would impact the situation at all. Looking around you cursed when the last customer left, and the barista sat on her phone. You could try and reach for your phone, but the man wasn’t stupid. He’d know exactly what you were up too. All you could do was stall now in hopes he would hurry up the call he was on.
“Can’t say the same.”
He gripped down on your arm. Oh, how you wanted to cry out in pain but you knew that’s exactly what he was looking for so you simply gave him the most blank expression you could muster. You had to psychologically beat the motherfucker. He had the physical advantage on you.
Lucky for you Hotch did wrap his call up quickly. You heard his gun click into place before you saw him out of the corner of your eye, “I’d suggest you let her go, now.”
“New boyfriends got a gun huh?”
This was your chance. If you had one, “I thought you did your research? You slipping up?” That’s all it took for him to throw you backwards into the table behind you. This got the attention of the barista whose eyes went wide seeing the confrontation and weapons out so openly. Your head knocked against the side of the table opening a new cut along the back of your skull. Sending you unconscious for a moment before your brain reset.
Aaron wanted to shoot, oh did he. But he knew his surroundings. Middle of the morning in suburbia wasn’t exactly the best place to unload a clip. So, he opted for the next best thing and tackled the inferior police officer before him knocking him down quickly sending the blade out of his grasp.
It was over before it started. You jumped to your feet not realizing your head was bleeding yet again from the man. Your head felt fuzzy as you spotted Aaron overtop your ex-fiancé handcuffing him easily enough. Aaron’s gun tucked back into his belt loop. You were so thankful that Aaron was okay.
Sirens rung out in the distance as you found a seat, head feeling heavy all over again.
“Are you okay?” Aaron asked placing his hands on your head forcing your head to look at him gently.
“I’m fine. Did you get him?” You asked
“I’m so sorry Y/N. I didn’t even see him. It was Garcia. She was who I was on the phone with. Calling to warn. Fifteen seconds. Christ, are you okay?” He rambled ripping the jacket he had on placing it on the open wound.
“I’m fine Aaron. Just a little lightheaded. It’s okay. I’m okay.” You looked up at his panic-stricken face. He was obviously blaming himself for the entire predicament.
He pulled you up seeing the ambulance pull in. He wasn’t taking any chances as he found the EMT quickly, “Head wound. Loss of a lot of blood. She said she’s lightheaded.” The EMT nodded as he sat you down in the back of the rig.
“Let’s have a look. How bad does it hurt? Out of ten?”
“Like a three.” You smiled to the man as he checked you over. Pushing Aaron’s hand away as he was ready. Head wounds always looked a whole lot more traumatic than they actually were… at least that’s what you’d always been told.
“It’s okay if it hurts.” Aaron crouched down so he was level with you. Eyes scanning over your face for any discomfort.
“I’m a little offended you don’t believe me. This is only a three compared to what he’s put me through. Trust me.”
Aaron shuddered realizing just how horrifically you’d been abused by the man, “Alright, if you say so.” He knew you probably weren’t up to talking about it so he knew he likely needed to drop it.
“I say so.”
The EMT had managed to stop the bleeding enough to get a good look, “You’ll just need a butterfly bandage. No stitches. You did lose a lot of blood though. Are you able to stand?”
You smiled knowing it was almost over. Sure, he wasn’t dead, but he also wasn’t likely going to be free at the end of this all. You felt at peace knowing you could fully focus on yourself going forward and not be afraid around every turn, waiting for him to show back up.
You did manage to stand albeit a little woozy. Aaron wanted you to go to the hospital, but you knew you were fine. Maybe just needed that coffee and a nap now.
After giving statements and assuring Garcia you were both fine Aaron drove you back to your place. Assuring you that he’d be fine in your oversized clothing. He didn’t want to stop home. He just wanted you to be comfortable. He felt sick knowing what had went down could have been stopped. But he failed you.
He helped you all the way back up to your bedroom. You might’ve leaned on him a little harder than you really needed too but it was your chance and you sure as hell weren’t going to miss your opportunity. If he was going to be selfish then so were you.
“Aaron?” You asked before he walked away.
He turned looking down at you softly. So sweetly, “Yeah?”
“Can you stay? At least until I fall asleep. Then I’ll be fine.”
Smiling, he knew how much that took for you to ask, how uncomfortable it made you, “Of course. I’ll be here when you wake up.”
“Yeah?” You asked smiling as he slid in next to you.
“Yeah.” He waited for you to scootch up to him before he pulled you into him completely. You wanted to hate how good it felt but you couldn’t. It felt so right. So comfortable, “Sleep well.”
“Thank you, Aaron, for everything.” You yawned into his chest as you drifted off letting yourself get swallowed in his warmth.
Tumblr media
He kept true to his word. When you opened your eyes after a few hours he was sitting there watching you.
“Hi.”
“How are you feeling?” He turned his body towards you, scooting down so his face was level with yours.
“Good. Really good.” You smiled over at him.
He returned your smile, feeling a little bit better at your state, “Good. I’ve been thinking. I have an idea.”
Eyes flicking over to the man you’d become so quickly infatuated with you gave him a curious look, “Oh yeah? And what’s that?”
“So, in a few months when JJ is ready to come back. What if a communications position in ViCAP were to open up? Could even be a promotion if you know the right people.” A small smirk danced over his lips as he studied your expression softly. He knew how harsh his gaze came off if he wasn’t too careful. He didn’t want to scare you off now that you were free for the first time in years.
Eyebrows raising in shock you studied his face. He was all business though, no jokes, “Really? The Violent Criminal Apprehension Program? Isn’t that like super exclusive?”
He shrugged pulling you closer. Taking that as an invitation you softly laid your head on his chest. Almost afraid that’d he’d change his mind on you. Want nothing to do with you. Your fears were null and void as Aaron brushed the stray strand of hair out of your face, “It might be. I’m partial to you staying with the team but that would make this terribly unprofessional.” He snaked his arm around your waist bringing your body as close to his as it could be.
A stupid little blush graced your cheeks feeling the desire of being wanted from such an incredible guy, “Aaron Hotchner. Did you pull some strings for me?”
A hesitant nod confirmed your suspicions, “Maybe a little. We couldn’t lose you at the BAU. You just wouldn’t be my employee anymore.”
“Sure.” You giggled laying your head back down, “Hypothetically I would say hell yes if that were offered to me. Hypothetically though.”
He nodded, that big beautiful Hotchner smile came out, just for you, “Hypothetically, noted.”
The two of you sat in comfortable silence. Aaron absentmindedly began to brush through your hair. You hadn’t a clue how touchy the man really was, but you certainly weren’t complaining. You hummed feeling lulled by the steady motion of his hand, “Keep that up and I’m going to fall right back asleep.”
You felt the gentle chuckle that came from his chest, “That’s alright. I’ll be here when you wake up.”
You smiled feeling all the love emitting from the man you liked far too much, far too quickly, “Wait, he’s in jail. I don’t really need to be staying here anymore.” You opened your eyes fearfully. A little pissed at yourself for bringing that up.
An immediate frown formed as he processed what you said, “I’ll stay as long as you need me. As long as you want me.”
“Thank you Aaron.” Watching him he nodded as he watched you. The two of you simply studying the other. One profiler and one wannabe profiler studying the situation.
“I’d do it again for you.”
You were at a loss for words. This was the Aaron you adored. The one who wasn’t afraid to tell the truth. To get uncomfortable with you as you learned the other. It was the beginning of something wonderful and he was diving headfirst into it. But he was making sure you were ready before pulling you in with him. He didn’t want you to drown.
“I like you so much Aaron.” You admitted, “Far too much. These last few months have been some of my favorite yet. And you were only my boss. My friend.” You let out the breath that you’d been holding in. His softness, the closeness, his smell all overwhelmed you into admitting it.
A soft hand pulled your face to look back at his, “I like you far more than I should as well. We’ve got to keep this quiet for a few months. Then I’m taking you on the best date you’ve ever been on.”
You smiled brightly relieved that he was feeling the exact same way, “Yeah?”
“If you want, that is.”
“Yes! Yes, that’s great!” You grinned laying your head right backdown on his chest.
He nodded smiling just as widely as you, “It’s a date then.”
“It’s a date.”

Sober After-Thought
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairings/characters: sam winchester x gn!you, dean is also there
summary: part 2 of Drunk Words, Sober Thoughts, you're extremely hungover and sam takes care of you :,)
warnings: fluff, hangover, minor feeling of being a burden, disorientation, dean being a bully (playful)
word count: 1,702
A/N: pls send requests if you want, i'd love to hear what ya got ^.^
———————
You awoke with an insane thirst drying out your mouth that made your tongue almost feel sticky. You were quickly then greeted by a skull-throbbing headache and an uncomfortable tickle in the back of your throat that made you feel nauseous.
Sun was shining through the moth-eaten curtains, displaying patches of light scattered like spots along the comforter covering you.
You roll over onto your back and feel the recoil from the wave of pain around you as it tugs on your headache. You wince softly and place a hand to your forehead, trying to settle the spinning. There’s shuffling footsteps and then a soft clink on the table next to you.
“Mornin’,” Sam’s voice calls to you. You open your eyes to look up at him, the sunshine illuminating him like a halo. Your chest feels warm as you look up at him but the stabbing pain in your skull prevents you from smiling.
You groan in response which earns a soft chuckle from him that rattles though your ears and hurts so good.
“I brought you water, and you should take these,” Sam speaks again and you turn to look at his outstretched hand. You try to sit up but the bed is a sticky trap that you just can’t seem to unglue yourself from. You let yourself slump back down with a painful pout.
Sam chuckles again, the sound warming through you again- maybe even melting away some of the glue.
“C’mon,” Sam says, reaching out to help you up and you let him. He settled you against the bed frame and handed you the glass of water. You take the water and quickly down half of the glass. “Save some for these,” he advises, handing you two green capsules and you readily take them and pop them into your mouth. You finish off most of the water before setting it back down and resting your head against the wall behind you.
“What the hell?” You groan out in a huff of breath. Through your squinted eyes you see that Sam hasn’t stopped smiling amusedly which would annoy you a tad but the dimple he’s showcasing makes your chest tighten with affection.
“You tried to out-drink Dean and now you’re paying for it,” he explains, sitting on the bed next to you and clasping his hands together.
“Oh god,” you cringe, rubbing your forehead trying to ease the pain, “I’m so sorry, Sam,” you apologize, refusing to look him in the eyes.
“What? Why?” Sam asked, confused as to why you felt guilty and too embarrassed to even look at him.
“That you had to walk my drunk ass home,” you yawned, still rubbing your forehead.
“It’s really not a problem,” Sam shook his head, keeping his eyes on you as you scoff and he scooted a bit closer. “Seriously, don’t worry about it, you had fun and needed a little help- I don’t mind.” He doesn’t leave any room for you to argue before changing the subject, “Are you hungry?”
“M-mm,” you decline, the thought of food making you nauseous.
“I’ll get you more water,” he says, grabbing the glass and walking to refill it.
“Where did Dean end up anyways?” You ask, only getting patches of memories from last night “I feel like everything cut off after that clown story.”
Sam returns with more water and another chuckle at the mention of that story again. You accept the glass but wait a minute before drinking more, “Dean went home with that girl you both were eyeing.”
You vaguely remember a beautiful brunette woman with a snake tattoo wrapped up her arm and completely shimmering with jewelry and piercings that caught both yours and Dean's attention. Good for him- you think with a small smirk.
“He texted not too long ago saying he’s gonna pick up breakfast, told him you’d be hungry,” Sam said, checking his phone. “And you really should eat something when he gets back, it’ll help,” he nods, setting his phone aside and looking you over. “How’re you feelin’?”
“Like shit,” you say without missing a beat, letting your hand fall by your side after setting your glass down and turning to look at him better. “I wanna brush my teeth, my mouth feels awful,” you frown and Sam chuckles with a small nod.
“I bet,” he reaches for your toiletries bag and hands it out to you, “wanna freshen up?”
You nod and sit up, swinging your feet over the edge of the bed and taking it slow as your body still feels like it’s moving at 10 FPS.
“Do you need a hand?” Sam asks, keeping an eye on your disoriented sway. You both knew you’re a lightweight and trying to keep up with Dean was not the brightest idea- inevitably ending up with the most unbearable hangover.
“Maybe,” your face flushed with embarrassment and you wanted to decline his help out of stubbornness but he was quick to help you steady yourself and the feeling of him pressed so close to you makes your mind go blank. He even grabs your bag for you which makes you balance the line between flattery and shame even more.
On one hand, you’re unbelievably appreciative of the way Sam is taking care of you but on the other, you feel such a deep rooted sense of shame and embarrassment at needing the help in the first place.
“You really outdid yourself,” Sam joked, which earned a soft scoff from you.
“No one thought to tell me it wasn’t a competition?” You lean against the bathroom sink as you get there and fish for your toothbrush.
“You were just having fun, honey. Besides, you wouldn’t have listened anyways,” he said, the pet name slipping from his lips so naturally that he didn’t even notice it- but you did.
“I’ve certainly had my fair share of regretful nights at the hands of Dean's tolerance,” Sam says, hoping that you’ll loosen up the strict grip you seem to have over yourself.
“Never again,” you grumble, starting to brush your teeth and Sam goes back into the main room to give you some privacy.
After your teeth, you brush your hair and wash your face. You also are starting to feel the effects of the medicine, and between that and getting cleaned up you’re a lot more like yourself now.
You trudge back to your bed and feel another pit of guilt swell up, “oh Sam, I’m sorry, I stole your bed,” you frown sadly, remembering how insistent he was to give it to you last night on multiple occasions.
“Stop that,” Sam shrugs with a kind smile, “I laid you there. Besides, I just took Dean’s bed,” he said like it was no problem at all. You sigh softly, sitting on the edge of the bed. “You really need to lighten up a bit,” Sam says, watching you with his ‘hurtful understanding’ eyes- the ones that recognize the self-deprecation in others.
You know he’s right, there’s just something about being taken care of that makes you feel like a burden.
The motel door opens, letting fresh light flood in the room followed by a mouth-watering waff of sweet breakfast food that makes your stomach growl and completely change your previous stance on food.
Dean walks right in and sets down the bag of food and rolls up his sleeves, “Mornin’!” He beams with a shiny smile. His chipper attitude makes you wanna throw your cup of water at him just to get him to turn off. Dean notices your reaction which only makes him more cheery.
“Ah, someone reached their limit last night, huh?” Dean jokes, pulling out a kitchen chair and plopping down in it.
“Shut up,” you mumble, laying your head in your hands.
“C’mon, I got your favorite, hash brown bowl with bacon and tomatoes - just barely nutritious enough to warrant a meal,” Dean says, pulling out your order and placing it across from himself. You glare at him but make your way towards the box that seems to tunnel your vision like a spotlight on the food. A part of you warms at the fact he remembers your order.
Sam took the remaining seat and opened his own box, the sound of squeaking styrofoam makes you cringe and you sigh in annoyance.
“Sorry,” Sam mumbles with a small curl to his lips.
“Drink a bit too much, huh?” Dean teases with a full mouth of food, the smacking sound of his food making you cringe again.
“No,” you blatantly lie, stabbing some hashbrowns and tomatoes and bringing them to your mouth.
“Sure thing, sweetheart,” Dean pretends to agree, entertaining your lie while taking another bite.
“Glad to see you’re completely unaffected,” you say sarcastically, “what the hell is with that anyways? You’re like ten years older than me,” you complain, stabbing more food.
“Hey, I’m seven years older than you,” Dean defends, “besides, I can handle my liquor, it’s the only gift god gave me,” Dean jokes, taking a gulp of coffee and wiping his hands on his jeans.
“Whatever,” you groan, taking a sip of your own coffee after being reminded by Deans.
“You feelin’ any better?” Sam asks halfway through his own breakfast.
“Yeah, thanks for the Advil,” you smile weakly at him while resting your forehead in your hand and picking at your food, “and the water, and- well everything,” you yawn, still feeling exhausted.
Sam can’t help but look at you with such adoration. Something about how domestic this all was made him swell with love and appreciation for the moment. Sure, you were still struggling with a hangover and a short temper due to Dean's doing, but he found your reaction hilariously justified. But here he sat with his brother and you- the two most important people in his life- and everything was calm, normal.
He would take care of you after a hangover any day- hell, he would take care of you period.
‘Maybe that meant something…’ the thought brought a nervous tickle to his abdomen, but another groan of annoyance from you in response to something Dean did dissolves that focus and he’s lost on you again.

04. HAPPY WEDNESDAY GUYS‼️‼️ + written
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Campus Library 1:54pm
Ni-ki checked his phone for what had to be the 100th time since he took his spot leaning against the wall next to the library stairs. He hadn’t misread your texts, had he? Were you late? Or worse—were you already inside waiting while he was stuck out here, making him look like the kind of guy who didn’t care enough about his grades to show up for a tutoring session he asked for? That thought didn’t sit well, even if it wasn’t possible. Ni-ki had shown up 30 minutes early, too anxious to risk being late.
He opened his phone again, kicking at the small pebbles scattered across the pavement, He was about to send an SOS text to his friends' group chat when he heard a voice
"Are you out here waiting for me?" oh god it was you, he almost broke his neck, turning towards you.
You shifted the worn bag hanging on your shoulder, arms crossed against the breeze carrying the first hints of autumn. Ni-ki locked his phone and shoved his hands into the pockets of his green bomber jacket.
"Uh, yeah." He stood up from against the wall and shuffled his feet awkwardly, "I wasn't sure which study room we were using so, I just thought I'd wait for you to show up" His voice was quiet, and he felt it. This was the first real conversation you two had ever had—and the first time you’d ever looked directly at him.
"Oh, really?" You pouted slightly, your brow furrowing in confusion. Cute, he thought. "I thought I texted you the number. My bad." You walked past him, gesturing toward the stairs. "I’ll make sure I tell you next time, okay?" You smiled softly, tilting your head toward the stairs, signaling for him to follow.
You had only shown up ten seconds ago, and already, Ni-ki's heart was pounding.
He cleared his throat. "Kay," he mumbled, falling into step behind you as you made your way inside the library.
His nerves stayed with him as he climbed the stairs, especially knowing he would soon have to admit he was completely lost in biology—something you excelled at. He didn’t want you to think he was stupid.
After venturing into the library and ascending another flight of stairs, you pulled a keycard from the back pocket of your jeans and tapped it against the door to one of the study rooms.
“This room is reserved for the tutoring program specifically,” you explained, holding the door open for him with a smile. "So, we'll meet here for future sessions too."
Ni-ki felt like he was stepping into a padded cell. He was going to be alone with you in this room for 2 hours, how was he supposed to keep his cool and actually pay attention to the material instead of admiring you. He felt his hands start to sweat in his pockets as he took a seat at the long table sitting horizontally in front of the door after mumbling a shy thanks to you for holding the door for him. He sat his backpack down on the chair next to him as you did the same in the seat across from him.
"So," here came the embarrassment, "What exactly are you struggling with in bio." You gave him a quick glance as you dug in your bag for a notebook and pen.
Ni-ki wiped his hands on his jeans. “Well,” he started, feeling the familiar weight of self-disappointment in his chest, “pretty much everything, honestly.” His voice was quiet, the words almost painful to admit.
"That's okay! Biology is one of the harder classes, plus our professor is kind of a hard ass so it looks harder than it actually is." Your reassurance made his shoulders relax a little, and he let out a breathy laugh, your playful tone helping to ease his tension. You couldn't help but find him a bit cute.
“And it’s still early in the semester,” you continued, smoothing out your notebook page. “I’ll help you catch up.” Your encouraging smile sent a warmth through him. He nodded, wishing he could find his voice.
"Do you have any past quizzes and tests with you?"
“Yeah.” He quickly fumbled through his bag, nerves and the weight of your gaze making his hands clumsy as he pulled out a stack of papers littered with red marks. He felt a pang of embarrassment as he handed them over, watching you flip through his messy work. Red ink stained nearly every page, a reminder of how lost he’d been. He watched as you flipped through them, analyzing where he went wrong and where he had managed to get something right.
“Okay,” you said, setting the papers aside. “We’ll start from chapter one and work through it together. I’ll explain things differently from the professor and see if that helps.” You were already jotting down diagrams and definitions without needing to reference anything, working from memory.
"Okay, cool" he mumbled, trying to not make it obvious that he was taking deep breaths to calm himself down.
You smiled at his shyness, finding it endearing, "Okay so," You finished writing and turned your notebook towards him. As you began explaining biology’s chemical basis, Ni-ki found himself slowly relaxing, nodding along as the confusion in his mind started to unravel. Maybe tutoring wasn't as bad as he thought it would be.
Until you asked him a question.
Ni-kis mind went completely blank when his eyes met yours for the first time in the past hour. He felt heat creep up his neck and to his ears, luckily his hair had been long enough to cover it. he defeatedly admitted that he had no clue how to answer. his eyes downcast at the notebook and your hands instead of your face.
"That's okay! That's why I'm here to help you, you'll get better at it." The warmth in your voice surprised him. He was used to strict teachers, but you were different—gentler. he had partially expected you to be as uptight as some of his professors who would've grown impatient with his hesitation and wouldn't have responded so kindly.
You asked a few more questions throughout the session, and though he got most of the first ones wrong, you explained patiently each time, your soft smiles easing his nerves. When he did manage to get a few answers right, you brightened, praising him and diving deeper into the material. He felt his heart soar and warmth spread through his chest when you did so. With each moment, he felt himself relax, though he stayed shy, mumbling his responses and avoiding eye contact. You didn’t seem to mind, even though it was kind of hard to hear him, but you kept it professional and didn't say anything, not wanting him to feel more embarrassed.
"Okay, its 4:03. We can stop here." You say checking your watch. "Do you have any questions about anything from this chapter?" Your eyes meet his for a split second before he's averting his gaze from you and to a random corner in the room.
Ni-ki shook his head, "Not that I can think of,"
"Alright, then. Don't hate me for what I'm about to do" You tease, taking the notebook you both worked in for 2 hours and scribbling something down on a clean page.
Ni-ki raised an eyebrow, chuckling softly. "What are you doing?" He tilted his head to try and get a glimpse of what you were writing. after a minute you slide the notebook back towards him.
"Before Friday, try answering these questions so we can see if things are making more sense." You say, clicking your pen closed and putting it back into your bag. "You can keep the notebook, by the way."
"You're giving me homework?" He jokes, a pout forming on his lips, as he picks up the notebook and scans the questions you wrote down, there were only 5.
"I said don’t hate me!" you laughed. “Text me if you have any questions, okay?" you laughed lightly as you stood up and slung your satchel-like bag over your shoulder. You watched him nod, beginning to put the notebook in his bag with the rest of his stuff.
"Okay, I will, Thank you [name]" he gave you a friendly smile as you began pushing in your chair and made your way to the door.
"Of course, see you Friday Ni-ki!" you gave him a small wave and opened the door.
"See you Friday" he echoed after you. The door clicked shut and then you were gone, leaving him to sit with the fluttering in his chest.

Inspired by a conversation between the amazing and wonderful @darkurgetrash and I the other day that made me want to compile my thoughts in one place.
I believe that Rolan is anywhere between 27-35 years old. Why?
Thanks for asking! (lol)
-As someone who is (nearly) 36 years old and went through a traumatic upbringing, I have a lot of experience in this subject and I’m here to shed my weird expertise and light on this. (Also, as a side-note I believe that Rolan would have the most fire skincare routine if he was in a modern au situation)
-Let’s just start with the physical signs of aging. Like the dark circles under his eyes, people who are older get worsened dark circles under their eyes from stress, lack of sleep, etc. Now there are such a thing as hereditary dark circles in humans (I have them) but again, they worsen with age.
-His face shape is another very distinct sign of aging and a real difference to help you spot people in their 20s vs people in their 30s. While your face shape doesn’t necessarily change as you age, your features do become broader as your skin loses elasticity and that natural youthful glow.
-Rolan’s face looks to me like a more mature adult face in that respect and when you compare him to younger and older tieflings it seems to be consistent.
-I know the big topic of debate is the wrinkles, could he be prematurely aged by the stress he’s gone through? Absolutely, he does have some signs of premature aging around his eyes from a hard and stressful life (I also have these lines). I agree here.
-But take a look at Cal and Lia, they have also had hard lives but appear much younger than Rolan. However, they both seem to be adults, not youths, which makes me put them in their early to mid twenties. (In my mind: Cal is 23, Lia is 27, and Rolan is 32-33)
-Going into the less physical subject of debate that goes with this topic: The apprenticeship. I don’t think his apprenticeship necessarily means he’s young you can start an apprenticeship at any age and what we do know about Rolan’s background makes it all the more likely he got a late start in life. I sincerely think Rolan wouldn’t have wanted to leave Cal, Lia, and their mother before the Descent of Elturel and their mother’s subsequent death.
- I actually believe that her death was likely a catalyst for him wanting to 1. Get stronger to protect them and 2. Need to leave Elturel for it to actually make that happen.
-Furthermore, I think some of his prickly exterior and facade of bravado are a sign of age as well, not immaturity. Those both come from a place of shame, shame that he has likely felt over a long time which could be worsened by the perception that he hasn’t achieved more in life. (But I could just be yapping on this one lmao)
These are just my thoughts on this subject, let me know what you think as well. At the end of the day, we are all just making sh*t up, which is the true spirit of Dungeons and Dragons lmao (also falling deeply in love with a background NPC with no last name).

Linked Universe / GN!Reader - Random Headcanons abt the Chain! :)
Part 1 / Part 2 (ur here!) / Part 3
Tumblr media
Sun: Reader (you/they/them)
Orbit: Headcanons-ish
Stars: Hyrule, Time, Fierce Deity, Twilight, Warriors
Comets & Meteors: Content Warnings: light cussing, & Trigger Warnings: none known.
Hyrule (The Legend of Zelda - OG game, Zelda II: Adventures of Link):
Lost easily, obviously, you know this
What you didnt know was that its very easy to get lost with him
Bc he's so excited/curious for new sights he doesnt give any fucks abt where he is, so it devolves into that "wait, I thought YOU were leading us there?? Then where tf are we??!!" very quickly
Does feel bad he stressed u out smtimes but he somehow manages to get into such wild shit that Hyrule's kinda preoccupied being confused/amazed/finding his way out, or any combo of these situations (once again, usually with you unfortunately)
Is the luckiest when it comes to getting lost or anything to do with "natural" things
Like he heard u rlly like this one fruit? Accidentally gets lost all day and panics all the Links + You until he shows up at midnight with a shirtful of them
("I found a few fruit trees/plants in the woods while wandering! I tried to grab a few for you and before I knew it, it was dark, sorry...")
Likes learning little skills from other people, like learning how to do makeup from Legend, or how to spot collections of rupees the Minish have left somewhere from Four, or how walk on any terrain from Wind (good at walking on a ship, on land, climbing etc)
More of a "sunset" hiker than a "sunrise" one
Likes to do your hair! Whether that be braiding, putting accessories (he handmade shhh) thruout it, or helping with hair maintenance, likes how strangely intimate but domestic it feels together with you (u return the favor ofc)
(All the other heroes are looking at you both like kicked puppies jfcccc🙄)
Time (Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask):
Gets anxious if he's late to things, likes being fashionably early (or ungodly, when u let him get away with it)
Has absolutely been that meme from Parks and Recreation where he's like "Alright. I'm not mad, I just wanna know. Who broke it?"
(Abt the coffee pot for the camp)
Knowing full and well-
"I broke it. It burnt my coffee for the 3rd morning in a row, so I punched it. I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with war paint on their faces and a moblin head on a stick. ...good. It was getting a little chummy around here."
MF LOVES GOSSIP (wouldn't admit this even at swordpoint)
Wars has absolutely been the person in the meme of:
Wars: "...why would you tell me this??"
Time: "Bc no one will ever believe you."
Wars: ...😦
Has a resting bitch face and knows it, actively cultivates it, scary dog privileges for you,
Type to take ur side in whatever situation ur in, even when Time has no idea whats going on, always, without question <3
The same height as First, (Twi's a close 2nd), and feels most secure when the 3 of you are at the front of the group, but First/Time are slightly in front of you
Like ur literally the person walking their 2 huge scary doobermans/mastiffs one leash in each hand basically 💀
(Once again, Link is deeply comforted by ur voice just over his shoulder/just hearing u even without seeing you)
Very subtly sarcastic, u dont even know he made a dig at you until 3-5 business days later
Likes ur sarcasm more than anyone else's in the group, or even his own lol
Fierce Deity (Majora's Mask):
Likes music, any music (amused at drunk karaoke)
Casually cradles ur arms or back whenever ur falling asleep/tripping/being clumsy near him
Very warm and smoothed calloused hands
Thinks abt what he's about to say so hard/long, that the conversation's moved on by like, 3 rounds/subject changes by the time he's actually ready to talk
Scolds ppl (in like a sentence) who neglect their needs, like sleeping/eating/hygiene
Finds peace in nature, if hes ever upset, u can bet he's already taking a walk by a stream
Likes teaching u/other Links little skills he has, its nice to feel appreciated/needed for something other than fighting or big moments
He falls in love with small moments, like the first time u made them all a dessert recipe from ur world, or repaired First's scarf (for the millioneth time) and bc everyone had gotten their clothes scratched up, everyone needed repairs so most Links were sewing smth lol
Enjoys watching ppl experience smth for the first time, or even himself exp smth for first time
Fierce smiled fully for the first time when you got into the mountain hot springs in Wild's Hyrule for the first time and were super excited
Also the type to hold ur hand while stepping in to make sure u dont fall, or just subtly boost a Link that was abt to fall from climbing smth
Like for being the tallest, he's surprisingly sneaky, the energy of the biggest cat in the house yet somehow also the quietest
Does that thing where someone takes ur hand and like massages ur fingers, palm, wrist and shakes them out kinda for you <3
Twilight (Twilight Princess):
Trips UP the stairs.
Cold start LMAO
ok ill be nice to him,, sike
Easy to bully?? U mean that kindly, he's just such a golden retriever sometimes u cant help urself (tho u make sure to reign it in and not take advantage of it so as not to genuninely hurt him)
Lol likes to "herd" his favorite people, like those dogs livestock farmers have u kno that they say end up herding their owners/their family lol
Like making subtle circles around the Chain, wrapping an arm around Hyrule and teasing him to quietly bring him back into the group before he gets lost,
Tugs on Time's armor to slow him down, mf may be in armor head to toe but he'll outpace all of u 💀
Likes to put his hand on ur lower back to guide u back into the group from whatever scenic thing u got distracted by
(so sue you, ur literally in The Legend of Zelda's Hyrule, surrounded by pretty blondes, why tf wouldnt you be distracted all the time??)
The only time he doesnt herd actively is in Ordon, just subconciously lol <3
Terrible sleep schedule, but sleeps like the dead when he does, has collapsed with a limb on top of you and u couldnt escape
Hard time waking up in the morning despite being country boy, who usually have to do chores first thing in morning on a farm
hates/envious of Wild (up at 5am even on days off?? Foul.)
Runs warm, but complains abt a slight breeze?
Would sleep with no covers if it werent for morning dew
Wishes cats liked him more (its the wolf smell)
Twi has the constant energy of a tall person carefully maneuvering around cluttered/low doorways while someone a head shorter runs by him and bounces off of him
U get onto/scold the Links and he's immediately the first to just sit on the ground, or put down whatever he's holding no matter what he's doing LMAO 😭😭
Keeps his eyes on u too the whole time lol
Warriors (Hyrule Warriors):
Cries over romance novels/dramas
A virgo in all stereotypes of the word tbh
Invented the red-string conspiracy theory board before the red-string conspiracy board existed in Hyrule
Also likes to take care of your hair! (What?? He and 'Rulie don't fight over ur hair, that'd be childish, he's not a foolish boy- Hyrule, hand over the brush.👹)
Remembers the little things abt u type of person, like ur favorite drink, ur favorite stories like tv shows/books even if theyre from ur world, ur favorite clothing pieces like shorts vs. pants, etc.
The only Link who can single handedly claim he could take your closet and dress you in something you'd actually wear.
Honestly once he got the hang of it, would get better at dressing you, than you
(Another domestic thing he adores, picking outfits for u/finding that perfect piece of clothing you've been needing lately)
Born to night-owl, forced to morning-bird 😔
Wars wakes up stiff sometimes bc soldier training is sleeping on ur back, hands to ur sides, laying straight in ur bed, so as to fit into bunks/bedrolls close together
It got better as he was promoted to Captain, so he could have his own quarters but its still a hard habit to shake
One of the few Links who works up the courage to genuinely pitfully ask if you'd mind massaging his shoulders again? He slept badly last night, please?? 🥺👉👈
(Ur so weak for pathetic hurting pretty blonde twinks lol)
The most lowkey abt taking care of Chain, but u make sure to take care of him as a gift back, and you've definitely caught him tearing up abt it 💖
Debated writing smth else first but figured this was easy and short and i started it first so youll have to wait like one more post before more Masc Reader stuff guys 😔
Dw its coming, i havent abandoned u my homies out there 🫂
Let me know what u think in the comments of my slight characterizations here!
Im struggling to conceptualize their personalities so thats acc part of why i started to write smaller stuff like this first! :)
Peace out,
🌙

The Snake & The Raven
Summary: Starting out as unlikely friends in Hogwarts, you and Severus don’t realize your feelings for each other until adulthood. When the world is dark and bloody, at least you have each other.
Warnings: none
Last: Prologue (1/2)
Prologue (Part 2/2): When We Were Young
Word Count: 1.8k
Tumblr media
Usually, you would forgive Severus in a day or two for speaking without thinking, but this was different. You were hurt, you felt attacked and you knew you didn’t deserve it. You were almost through your fifth year and he still hadn’t come to apologize. You’d thought the two of you had been closer than that.
“Hey, little Raven.” Your boyfriend came around from behind you and leaned on the windowsill next to you. “What are you thinking about?” Yes, you had started dating Sirius. He was so worried about you when you had stormed out of the Great Hall that day and had followed after you, and even let you cry on his shoulder.
“Nothing.” You smile turning around to lean your back against the window. “Just how Ravenclaw is going to beat Gryffindor into the mud at the match today.” He gasps and holds his chest in an exaggerated motion.
“How could you. I’m your boyfriend.” He wiped an imaginary tear from his eye. You laughed then leaned over to kiss his cheek.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be there to cheer you up after.” He smirks and leans closer to you.
“Is that a promise?” You smirked back, a pink blush dusting your cheeks. “Oh! That reminds me.” He started to take off his house scarf and wrapped it around your own neck. “There. If you’re going to do something, you might as well do it right.” You blushed as you faced each other and even more so when he slid his hands under your hair to pull it out over the scarf. He smiled so gently at you, far different from when you first met him. He tucked some hair behind your ear and was glancing between your eyes and your lips. That's when a figure down the hall caught your eye. When you looked over you saw that it was Severus, you froze. He gave you a glare then turned to walk the opposite way. When you looked back to Sirius he looked worried.
“Don’t you have practice soon? James’ll get mad at me if I make you late again.” You changed the subject and hoped he wouldn’t say anything about it. He smiled at that and took your hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss then held it firmly in his to walk with you down the hall towards the Quidditch field.
Tumblr media
It was the beginning of your sixth year when you finally spoke to Severus again. Professor Slughorn had assigned the two of you to work on a project together; brewing a perfect example of the advanced potion you had all just learned: Amortentia. Whether it was on purpose or not, you weren’t sure. Perhaps he knew if he put anyone else with him that he’d end up doing all the work. Then there was the fact that the two of you were also his best students. You made your way over to his station, knowing that he’d want to be with his own things, and took your spot standing next to him. A bit of sadness and nostalgia hit you, reminding you of your second year together.
“Where should we start?” You ask quietly. He glances at you and opens his advanced potions notebook in front of you; tapping lightly on the page before turning his attention to filling the cauldron with the basic potion liquid.
“I don't have any Ashwinder Eggs at the moment.” When he moves his hands out of the way you lean over the notebook to read all of of the ingredients and can’t help but show a little smile at all his notes scattered across the page.
“I have some at my station. I’ll grab the ingredients and you start brewing?” You ask, not looking up to him. He gives an approving sound and you’re off. Thirty minutes in and neither of you have spoken too much. It would be a while until your potion was ready for the next step so you decide to finally say something to him. “Se-”
“I-” your eyes shoot up to him and both of you have wide eyes.
“Go ahead.” You say softly, like speaking to an injured animal. He clears his throat and stares intently into the pot.
“I’m sorry.” It was barely above a whisper, but you heard him. It took two years, but Severus Snape had finally apologized to you. “I shouldn’t have said those things to you.” His eyes finally make their way to yours. He was sincere. “It shouldn’t have taken me so long to apologize either.” He looks back to his cauldron. “You don’t have to accept.” You smile kindly at him. You knew it took a lot for him to admit he was wrong and you could tell this had been weighing heavy on his shoulders, his own stubbornness had been standing his way.
“I forgive you Severus.” His head snaps back to you.
“Really?” You nod and hum in response. You place your hand on his elbow and tilt your head to look up at him. He’d gotten much taller since you last spoke.
“You’re my best friend Sev. Of course, I do. I just wish you wouldn’t have taken so long.” He hangs his head in shame. “But, I know you mean it, so I won’t give you a hard time.” You give his arm a squeeze. “But don't you ever do that again.” He looks to his arm and then to you, your smile was kind but your words held a weight to them. He was almost scared.
“I swear it.” The rest of the class went by and the two of you finished your potion without issue.
"Alright then, go ahead. What do you smell?" Professor Slughorn made it to your station. Severus went first. "Well?"
"Lavender...Honeysuckles...and earth." It stung a bit to know that you didn't smell like those things. You knew it shouldn't matter that he clearly smelt Lily's shampoo, but there was still a small pang in your chest.
"Very good, Snape. Now you, Miss (l/n)." You nod and lean over the cauldron, taking a whiff.
"I smell, old books...leather...and bergamot." You stood up straight after that, heat crawling up the back of your neck and throughout the rest of your body.
"Nicely done, both of you. Points for both of your houses."
"Thank you, Professor." Snape is the only one that responds. You were too busy being in shock. That wasn't the smell of Sirius, your literal boyfriend. He smelt like fresh vanilla and muddy boots. You were smelling...you look over to your partner who was watching your professor move to the next station, Severus.
Tumblr media
By your seventh-year you and Snape fell back into your routine that you had before and you finally got rid of that heavy feeling you’d had since the two of you stopped speaking. That Amortentia lesson was still in the back of your mind, however. Creeping into your thoughts every once in a while when the two of you were alone.
“Seriously?!” You yell from across the courtyard, dropping your books as you sprinted across to grab the hem of Severus’ robes to pull him back down to Earth. You wrapped your arms around one of his to keep him grounded until the Levioso wore off. You glared at the culprits. “James, what the hell? Sirius, I thought we talked about this? Remus? Peter?” They all stopped laughing, not wanting to incur any more wrath than they were already getting. Sirius met your glare though. Challenging.
“What? We’re just having a bit of fun, isn’t that right Snivellus?” Practically biting out the words. He’d started targeting Severus more since you had become friends again. Adding to James’ already constant bullying, it was too much.
“He doesn’t look like he’s having very much fun to me.” When you felt his body stop resisting your hold you looked at him and slowly let go of his arm. Watching carefully to make sure he didn’t float away again. You turned your attention back to the Mauraders, holding your hand out to Potter. He hung his head and handed your Severus’ potions book. Without looking, you handed it back to your friend.
“What’s with you?” Sirius asked angrily. “Why do you care so much about him?” He looked the Slytherin up and down then glared back at you. Was he accusing you of something?
“Why don’t you spit it out Black? Tell me what you really think.” You crossed your arms. The rest of the group was visibly uncomfortable as Sirius stepped up to tower over you.
“I think you’ve let that Snake slither between you-" you didn’t give him the chance to finish and a sharp smack rang through the courtyard. His hand rose to his cheek, but he didn’t look back at you. The rest of the boys watched on with wide eyes.
“We’re done, Black.” You used Accio to bring your books back to you from where they were still laying on the ground then grabbed Severus’ arm and practically dragged him with you towards the castle.
“You alright Pads?” You heard someone ask the boy you had just slapped. The rest of the conversation was out of your earshot you moved so fast. You loosened the grip on Severus’ arm but didn’t let go until you had found an empty hallway that had a nook with a small couch in the middle and sat down. He hesitated at first, but then slowly sat next to you. You let out a shaky sigh and sat your books opposite Severus. You held your hands in your lap and stared at them. Hot tears fall onto them. You were furious and sad at the same time. You knew Sirius was better than that, how could he say such a thing. You had never seen him so jealous before, and you didn’t like the person it brought out in him. Unless it was all an act in the first place. You were falling into your thoughts when you felt a gentle hand on your shoulder. You look over to your friend and find him with a concerned look on his face and averting your gaze. He wasn’t used to comforting people and wasn’t exactly sure how to do it. You gave him a closed-lip smile and took his hand from your shoulder and held it in your own, setting them in your lap and laying your head on his shoulder. He stiffened at first, but eventually relaxed and let you cry silent tears and sniffle on his shoulder until you felt better.
Tumblr media
The end of the year came quickly and before you knew it, it was time to graduate; to leave Hogwarts for good.
“You ready?” You looked up to Severus. He looked back down at you and you saw a flicker of something in his eyes, but before you could figure out what it was, it was gone.
“Ready.” He stepped onto the boat with the rest of the seventh years and offered you a hand to step onto the boat next to him and you took your seats together, side by side. Your lives were just beginning.
Tumblr media
Thank you for reading! If you’d like to be added to the tag list for the next chapter please let me know!

Bully ( Jake )
Your life was relatively okay until your mom had to transfer jobs and you had to move along with her.
Moving to a different city didn't bother you as much as having to start over at a new school just the thought of having to start all over again didn't sit well with you and you didn't have much of a say in it.
So you just sighed and decided to unpack your stuff and settle in to your new home.
The first couple of weeks went without much trouble you managed to make a couple of friends  the teachers adored you .
Things started to feel normal like you had gotten used to the change and started making happy memories in your new home.
About 2 months into the year you had your first big test you were determined to do your best at it. So you decided to go through as much material on the subjects as you could looking through the internet solving papers, the whole nine yards.
On one particular evening you decided to stay back and study in the library figuring you could concentrate better there.
You were currently trying to find a book to look up a particular topic but you didn't quiet seem to be able to find it and it was late at this point so you didn't want to bother the librarian.
Looking at your frazzled expression a figure approached you drawing you out of your search.
"Can I help you?"
You turned back to be met with a smile.
You had seen the boy around campus he was the student body president, scored the best grades and was a stellar athlete.
He always seemed kind to everyone so you didn't think twice before asking him to help you find the book to which he gladly obliged and even offered to help you study that way both of you could work together and it would be easier to finish since it was already getting pretty late.
You happily agreed and both of you went back to your spot.
You were surprised as to how quick he was to pick up on the areas you tought him about and likewise he was also a really good teacher and helped you when you didn't understand something.
Both of you worked really well together helping each other out so you decided to become study buddies and eventually became friends.
Both of you had been studying really hard together and the result of your first test came.
And to Jake's surprise you scored better than him. Needless to say he was happy for you seeing your face light up made him feel warm inside.
A couple of days later your second test result came and again you scored more than him.
He was still happy for you but he felt a slight tinge of jealousy brewing in him.
Another week passed and all your tests had been graded and in each one you stood on top of your class.
The little spec of jealousy that was in him grew to consume him.
How dare you take away the place that was rightfully his.
In his mind you were stealing what was for him by right and he wasn't having any of it.
He worked just as hard as you of not harder but why were you the one doing better than him.
He watched the teachers praise you. Those words of praise were meant to be for him not you.
He began to resent you.
First it started off by just giving you the cold shoulder during class.
You noticed him behaving differently towards you. Both of you were the best of friends now he barely even looked at you.
You felt a little hurt but you tried your best to talk to him.
But he just ignored you. It wasn't wise to further bother him so you just let him be for now.
Until one day you were at the library completing your notes when you felt a cool liquid flow down your head and onto your hand written notes making the ink bleed and destroying the hours worth of hard work you put in.
When you lifted your head you saw Jake with a grin stretched across his face looking down on you.
He leaned closer until your faces were only inches apart you could feel his breath tickle your face.
"That's what thief's like you deserve".
Was all he said before leaving you a sobbing mess in the library.
You left your stuff and ran home.
How could he be so cruel you thought he was your friend.
But that was just the start of it.
He kept torturing you at any chance he got.
Pushing you down the hallway, cutting up your clothes, slashing your tires he did things you couldn't even think of in your wildest of thoughts.
But what was worse was when he got into your head.
He was a smart guy and knew how to get into your little head.
He started to spread rumors about you.
He started to degrade you at any chance he got given his popularity everyone joined in on it.
Ruining you had become his obsession.
He was obsessed with the idea of reducing you into nothing but a broken doll.
Every day you were all that he thought about.
You had consumed him.
It no longer was his need to outperform you he just wanted you to be his.
You couldn't take it anymore.
You just wanted to run away.
The school year was coming to an end and you decided to transfer into a different school to get away from him.
Word of this got to him soon enough and he was shattered.
How could you leave him you belonged to him.
You were peacefully sleeping in hope of going away and leaving him behind.
What you didn't know was that, it was never going to happen.
He broke the lock of your backyard window and snuck into your room.
Seeing you lay there peacefully sleeping brought back  a smile to his face.
He gently placed a damp cloth across your face making your body go limp.
As he tied you up and placed you in the back seat of his car.
You weren't going anywhere. You were his forever.

Daminette December 2023: 2-Framed
Bruce heard the door bell ring and looked at his watch.
'Right on time.'
He opened the door to see Commissioner James and Barbara Gordon. He had invited them over for Christmas Dinner. Out of the corner of his eye, Bruce spotted his granddaughter running towards them.
"We were framed!" Amaya shouted, "We were framed!"
Barbara began to laugh, "Did Jason teach you that?"
"No." Amaya answered, looking confused.
"I'll take a look in a moment." Bruce answered, guiding her away from the door.
She quickly ran away.
James Gordon chuckled, "Already teaching her to run away from the law, I see."
Bruce chuckled in response, "New family portrait was hung up today."
"Ah." James answered as he entered the manor.
Amaya ran through the kitchen.
"I was framed!" she shouted.
Jason picked her up, "That's right! Anyone who thinks otherwise, you tell me."
"The portrait." Bruce spoke.
Jason took note of the Gordon's in the doorway.
"That's what I meant." he replied.
Bruce just sighed.
Jason smiled, "Let's go see that frame, Kiddo."
Amaya ran past her grandfather and his guests. She quickly spotted another one of her uncles.
"I was framed!" she cried out to Dick.
"Jason!" he yelled out.
"The portrait, you Idiot!" Jason replied.
Amaya smiled, "Idiot!"
Dick smiled, "Good luck."
"Let's go see that frame." Jason stated, hoping to change the subject.
"I was framed!" Amaya cried out, again.
Jason made his way with Amaya towards the main parlor. The portrait was suppose to go over the fireplace mantle. Before they could enter the doorway, Marinette and Damian came down the stairs.
"Maman. Baba." Amaya shouted, "We were framed!"
"Oh!" Marinette spoke, "Is it up already?"
Amaya nodded, happily.
"Let's go see it, then." Damian commented.
Jason quickly took the opportunity to run out the front door. Damian looked on as his older brother ran.
'Why did he run? We're suppose to look at it as a family.'
"Yay!" his daughter shouted, " Let's go, Idiot!"
Damian turned to the door, but Marinette grabbed his arm.
"Later, Habibi." she smiled.
Damian smirked in return and picked up their daughter. When the three of them walked in, they found everyone else already there.
"Where's Jason?" Bruce questioned.
"Hiding." Damian stated.
"Why?" Barbara asked.
"Let's just say he taught Amaya a new word and decided to run before we found out, seconds later." Marinette answered.
Bruce sighed and began to reveal the painting, knowing Jason was still lurking around. He probably was outside looking in with a sniper scope he had in his leather jacket. He was just glad that Damian wasn't chasing after him, at the moment.
"I was framed!" Amaya shouted as the portrait revealed Bruce with his sons, Marinette and Amaya.
"Yes, you were." Damian spoke.
Marinette simply smiled at the painting of her family.

A COMPREHENSIVE DEFENCE OF EVERYTHING TENTOO (PART 1)
Because unfortunately there’s a lot of stuff out there to refute.
so i guess a lot of people are watching doctor who right now because of good omens. and that, for some reason, means the tags are being constantly subjected to Certain tentoo takes so...it's meta time.
Tumblr media
in this meta, i'll be rehashing how, exactly, tentoo is the doctor, and answering some other commonly posed objections to the pairing that is tentoo x rose.
But he's not the Doctor! Rose ended up with a copy!
First things first. The entire show revolves around the philosophical concept of Cartesian Dualism--the idea that the soul/spirit/mind has an entirely separate existence from the physical body. This is the basic principle of regeneration; when the Doctor regenerates, every organ, every cell in his body changes, and yet he remains the same man. What makes the Ninth Doctor the same man as the Tenth Doctor? There's something underlying here---the memories, the mind, the spirit. The body, has absolutely no significance.
Tumblr media
In S6E6, The Almost People, we are introduced to the Ganger!Doctor. This is a man made out of like, slime, but he has the Eleventh Doctor's memories. Thus, he IS the Doctor. The Doctor himself says this.
In S9E11, Heaven Sent, the Twelfth Doctor is reduced to ashes millions and millions of times, and yet each time his body is 'recreated' or 'cloned', he remains the same person. Why? Because the memories persist. The soul lives on.
Here, have it straight from the horse's mouth.
"A man is the sum of his memories. A Time Lord even more so." - The Fifth Doctor, The Five Doctors, 1983
More evidence? What's the first thing the Tenth Doctor tries to do in Born Again to convince Rose that he really is the Doctor she knows?
DOCTOR: Very first word I ever said to you. Trapped in that cellar...Surrounded by shop window dummies. Oh...such a long time ago. I took your hand...I said one word. Just one word...Run.
Tumblr media
Right. He shows her that he has the same memories.
Now cast your minds back to S4E13. What does the Metacrisis Doctor say when he's trying to convince Rose he's the same man?
Tumblr media
Therefore, according to the lore established by the show itself, his missing heart has no significance to who he is. He is the Doctor.
2. But he's a CLONE.
Okay, first of all, he's not. He's a biological metacrisis, the only one of his kind. He has only one heart, i.e, he is not biologically identical to the Time Lord Doctor.
Second, even if he was, he would STILL be the Doctor. As established above.
Third, we see a Martha clone in S4E4, The Sontaran Stratagem, and she is a far cry from what we see of Tentoo.
3. Alright so he's not a copy. He's still only A Doctor! He isn't Ten, he's Half-Donna!
So. We've established that what makes a man is his memories.
If the Doctor had Donna's memories, he wouldn't be the Doctor anymore--which makes him ending up with Rose redundant. Here's the silver lining though.
Tentoo has only ten's memories. His own memories.
'How do we know this?' you may ask. Let's examine the script of S4E13, Journey's End.
(The Daleks spin around on the spot.) DALEK: Help me. Help me! DONNA: And the other way. NEW DOCTOR: What did you do? DONNA: Trip switch circuit-breaker in the psychokinetic threshold manipulator. NEW DOCTOR: But that's brilliant! DOCTOR: Why did we never think of that? DONNA: Because you two were just Time Lords, you dumbos, lacking that little bit of human. That gut instinct that comes hand in hand with planet Earth. I can think of ideas you two couldn't dream of in a million years.
Not very likely if Tentoo had her memories, right? This happens again, in the TARDIS Coral deleted scene:
DONNA: If you shatterfry the plasmic shell....you accelerate the growth power by fifty-nine. DOCTOR & NEW DOCTOR: We never thought of that.
There we go. Canon evidence that Tentoo does not have Donna's mind/memory/thought process. Instead, we see his mind being constantly referred to as that of his Time Lord counterpart.
4. So what exactly happened during the 'metacrisis' then? Why was Donna unable to sustain the change whereas we're meant to assume Tentoo is doing fine?
What happened in JE was a two-way metacrisis.
Tumblr media
Tentoo is a biological metacrisis, i.e his mind remained the same, but the regeneration energy in his hand picked up on Donna's human biology and grew a human body. (His body is PART human, as in the ageing part. He'll grow old, and never regenerate.)
Whereas, Donna's body remained the same; she got the Doctor's mind, becoming the DoctorDonna. She is essentially the Doctor AND Donna, at this point in time.
At one point in JE, there are three Doctors ("There's three of you?") because as proved earlier, anybody that has the Doctor's memories, is the Doctor. There is: the Time Lord Doctor (Ten), the Human Doctor (Tentoo) and the Doctor Donna.
Since Donna was a human, she could not sustain the Doctor's mind alongside her own, which is what led to it burning up. It was simply too much for a human brain to take.
Tentoo, as proven earlier, does not have Donna's mind.
5. But he talks funny.
We are shown the Doctor picking up her mannerisms. The Doctor regularly picks up things from people he travels with. He "imprints" on Rose as a newly regenerated being and is shown to pick up on his companions' accents very often.
On a more analytical level, the "Donna mannerisms" bit is obviously comedic relief in an extremely action packed episode (evidenced by the fact that he literally never sounds like Donna again throughout the episode) and isn't meant to be taken that seriously. In every other scene, he is played by David Tennant, exactly as ten.
Tentoo is the Tenth Doctor, but human. In every way that matters, he is exactly Ten.
6. But he's Season 2 Ten! He doesn't have any of the character development Time-Lord Ten does!
Erm. Yeah. You've got to watch the show again.
7. Alright. Okay. If Tentoo is the exact same man, he would get bored of a life on earth with Rose. They'd never last.
Now we've got to address a key aspect of the Doctor's arc. (Keep in mind, when I refer to the Doctor herein, I only mean the Ninth and Tenth, the ones written by Russell T. Davies.)
The Doctor always wanted to be human.
The Doctor, and the Tenth Doctor in particular, wants to be human. It’s peppered here and there throughout the first four seasons, but if you watch closely, there’s this underlying current of wistfulness in him (“I’ve never had a life like that”; “The one adventure I can never have”), not to mention the entirety of the Human Nature two parter.
I think to some extent Rose made him feel human, and it’s his alienness that’s the big barrier in their relationship. He doesn't allow himself to love her the way he wants to because of the difference in their life spans. Because he's a Time-Lord, and he has a responsibility to the Universe, and he can't be more selfish than he's being already, keeping her with him.
Tumblr media
She makes him want to be human, to be loved and to be free to love her as he wants to. She even helps him forget, sometimes, that he isn't human. Remember his expression in The Stolen Earth when he sees her again? He is so glad to see her. In that moment, it doesn't matter that they can never be together, because Rose loves him so much she came back.
I'm reminded of a quote from Buffy The Vampire Slayer:
I know that I'm a monster. But you treat me like a man.
And then bam. The almost-regeneration. The crushing reminder that he is intrinsically different from her species, from what he aches to be. Constant and selfish and free. Human.
Giving Rose up to his other self was the most selfless, loving thing he could’ve done. His other self, who is uninhibited, unburdened from the responsibilities of a Time Lord—can and will give Rose everything she deserves.
8. Just make Rose immortal then! Happy endings all around.
Now you might say, the earlier problem could be solved simply by making Rose immortal—she’d stay with the Doctor forever and she’d never have to leave him!
Here's the thing. Being immortal is Not Good.
A constant theme throughout seasons 1-4 is that immortality is not desirable. There is a constant motif of “living too long”, whether it be from Jack, the Face of Boe (cough), or the Doctor himself.
Things are only precious and meaningful because they end—the human way of doing things? Fast, and bright, and temporary? It’s the right way.
One of the many reasons the Doctor loves Rose is because she’s human—it’s a big part of why he’s attracted to her in the first place.
Tumblr media
Besides, an immortal Rose would mean having to outlive her family, her friends, everyone she’s ever known—who else has experienced that? Oh, yeah. The Doctor. I can’t imagine him wanting her to go through the same thing under any circumstances.
9. Rose would never accept him. She wanted the adventure too, not just the Doctor.
This is the Rose who instantly felt connected to a parallel version of her parents. Remember, this Pete and Jackie had NO memory of her, and yet, she loved them. Tentoo IS Ten.
She also constantly refers to Tentoo as The Doctor, so I have faith in her figuring it out just fine.
As for the adventure, being human doesn't mean they're suddenly going to become accountants or work in childcare or something. (Looking at you, Jenny Colgan.)
Canon (Big Finish) tells us that they both work with UNIT/Torchwood, so we know that they're out there, defending Pete's World together.
'What about the TARDIS?' you may ask. Well, the writer considers it canon that the previously linked TARDIS coral scene did take place, so we can imagine that they're out there, exploring a new Universe.
But even if they didn’t have a TARDIS, we only need to look to S1E13, The Parting of the Ways, to understand that Rose cares about the Doctor above all else.
ROSE: But what do I do every day, mum? What do I do? Get up, catch the bus, go to work, come back home, eat chips and go to bed? Is that it? MICKEY: It's what the rest of us do. ROSE: But I can't! MICKEY: Why, because you're better than us? ROSE: No, I didn't mean that. But it was. It was a better life. And I don't mean all the travelling and seeing aliens and spaceships and things. That don't matter. The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life. You know he showed you too. That you don't just give up. You don't just let things happen. You make a stand. You say no. You have the guts to do what's right when everyone else just runs away.
Of course Rose loves the TARDIS. She just loves the Doctor more.
More evidence? S2E8, The Impossible Planet:
DOCTOR: ....They were grown, not built. And with my own planet gone, we're kind of stuck. ROSE: Well, it could be worse. This lot said they'd give us a lift. DOCTOR: And then what? ROSE: I don't know. Find a planet, get a job, live a life, same as the rest of the universe.
Clearly, she doesn't mind settling down---not if it means staying with the Doctor.
DOCTOR: I promised Jackie I'd always take you back home. ROSE: Everyone leaves home in the end. DOCTOR: Not to end up stuck here. ROSE: Yeah, but stuck with you, that's not so bad. DOCTOR: Yeah? ROSE: Yes.
Here's another conversation she has with Jackie in S2E12, Army of Ghosts:
JACKIE: No, but really. When I'm dead and buried, you won't have any reason to come back home. What happens then? ROSE: I don't know. JACKIE: Do you think you'll ever settle down? ROSE: The Doctor never will, so I can't. I'll just keep on travelling.
"I can't." Not I don't want to, or I'm not interested---I can't. Rose is in love with the Doctor, and she knows at some level that the feeling is mutual. She also knows, he will never fully act on it.
But that's alright, because she loves him so much she's made her peace with it and with his limitations.
And instead of the typical female protagonist sacrificing things for her love interest trope, we get RTD flipping it on its head and letting Ten deliver the ultimate sacrifice, perform the ultimate act of love---letting Rose go.
By doing this, he's giving her everything he never could. It's beautiful. It's heartbreaking. It's the best love story ever put to television.
Let me conclude with this quote:
“Firstly, Rose is neither shallow nor stupid. She doesn’t settle for second best. She gets the person she fell in love with. And, as a bonus, he’s now able to spend the rest of his life with her, as she with him. Secondly, the very same person who experienced the heartbreak of losing Rose for the first time now experiences joy at the prospect of a lifetime in her company. In this full sense, the Doctor who lost, finally wins.” - Paul Dawson, Doctor Who and Philosophy.
10. But the Doctor and Rose ending up together is disgusting! They were platonic!

Love is Embarrassing | Eric Bouchard
pt. 2 <~~ can be found here
Tumblr media
YN stood in the back of the bustling film set, pencil in hand, watching as the crew adjusted the lights and the camera rolled into position. As a storyboard artist for ‘Tecto’, she had a front-row seat to the action, yet her gaze constantly wandered to the man behind the camera. Eric, the director, moved with a sharp precision, directing the crew and actors with an intensity that she admired. He was demanding, yes, but she loved being part of his vision, often on call for his constant script changes and feedback. Those were Eric’s orders.
Every time Eric called her over to discuss a scene or a shot, YN felt a flicker of excitement that went beyond the thrill of the job. It was no secret to herself—she harbored a deep crush on him, a feeling that had grown over the months working together but they never crossed that line. Theirs was a professional relationship, though every shared glance and conversation carried an undercurrent of something more.
As YN sketched, her pencil strokes tracing the sharp angles of Eric’s focused expression, a shadow loomed over her.
“Still drawing the boss, huh?” Adam’s teasing voice broke her concentration. He was the lead actor, playing Tecto, the hero of the movie, and always full of playful energy.
YN quickly closed her sketchbook, a blush rising to her cheeks. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said, but Adam’s knowing grin made it clear she wasn’t fooling anyone.
Whenever there was downtime on set, YN found herself sketching Eric. It wasn’t like she could help it—he was her muse, his intensity and passion translating perfectly onto the page. She'd captured him in different moments: deep in thought, laughing with the crew, even the way his hair fell messily during long shoots.
She’d grown careful about it, always making sure to keep her distance, never letting on that she spent every spare moment drawing him but the feelings that poured into those sketches were impossible to ignore. For YN, it was a quiet way of expressing her affection for him, an outlet for what she couldn't say out loud.
Adam, of course, was more observant than YN had given him credit for. During one particular scene change, he had seen her sketching again, eyes focused solely on Eric. He teased her relentlessly about it, but this time, he took it a step further. When YN left her sketchbook on her chair to head to the restroom, Adam couldn’t resist.
With a mischievous grin, he flipped through the pages. His eyes widened as he saw drawing after drawing of Eric, each one capturing him perfectly. Chuckling to himself, Adam pulled out his phone and snapped a few pictures of the sketches. He knew just what to do. “Looks like you have a secret admirer.” He signed as he sent the photos to someone.
Moments later, Eric’s phone buzzed in his pocket. Eric was in the middle of reviewing a shot when he checked his phone, only to find a text from Adam. Attached were photos of YN’s drawings—of him. At first, he blinked in surprise. He had always appreciated YN’s artistic talents, but he hadn't realized she’d been using him as a subject so often.
A warm feeling stirred in his chest as he flipped through the images. The attention to detail, the way she had captured him so vividly—it struck him that YN had been quietly admiring him all this time, just as he had been doing with her.
He scanned to her usual spot. She was gone. Without thinking too much about it, he picked up his phone and dialed her number.
“YN,” he said when she answered, “I need your help with something urgent. There’s a script change I’d like your input on. Can you meet me after we wrap up today?”
YN was puzzled by Eric’s call. Script change? It wasn’t unusual for him to ask her for help, but there was something different in his voice this time. Nonetheless, she agreed, and after the day’s shoot ended, she met him at the quiet corner of the set where he waited.
“So, what’s this urgent change?” she asked, trying to sound casual.
Eric hesitated for a moment, his usual confidence wavering slightly. “It’s about a new scene I’m considering. A date scene, actually.”
YN blinked in confusion. “A date scene?”
“For you and me,” Eric clarified, his eyes meeting hers, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. “Off the script.”
Realization dawned on her. Her heart raced as she realized what he was saying. She hadn’t expected this, not after months of keeping her feelings hidden.
“I thought… maybe we should give it a shot,” Eric continued. “I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and, well… after seeing those sketches, I figured it was time.”
YN’s face flushed with embarrassment, but also a surge of excitement. Adam! She would have to thank him—and yell at him—later.
“Well,” she said, trying to keep her voice steady, “I think I’d like that.” She covered her face with her hands. “I just can’t believe Adam would send you those sketches! It’s so embarrassing.”
Eric removed her hands from her face and smiled. “Love is embarrassing but it’s worth it no?”
Their date that night was the first of many. What had started as a quiet, unspoken attraction finally blossomed into something real. On set, things didn’t change much, at least not for the public eye, though there was a new spark between them that even the crew began to notice.
Adam, ever the troublemaker, couldn’t resist teasing them both. “You know, YN, I should start charging for my matchmaking services.”
YN only rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t deny it—Adam’s sneaky plan had given her the push she needed, and now, she was living the scenes she’d only sketched in the past.
