Guys, guess what I got in the mail yesterday!
I finally got my hands on Cats Warsaw CD album!!! I got really lucky and not only it didn't cost me an arm and a leg, but it's also in great condition. The case got a few little scratches and plastic is a little dull (which, it's 20 years old so makes sense) but the CD itself is literally like new!!! No scratches no nothing!!!! I have no idea if it actually works cuz I have nothing to play it on, but like kinda whatever, I'm just really really happy to have it
I already knew what the booklet looked like cuz it is on the internet, but I love that I can actually hold it and get close to the photos and stuff. Already lead me to jump from "I think it's him" to "I'm pretty sure it's him" with one of the actors in one photo XD
#i so fucking happy i have it#also i paid for it what normally would be my dance class money so i think it's really fitting seeing i'm not doing the class this summer XD#also kudos to the guy i got it from for packaging it well enough it could probably survive an apocalypse XD#cats the musical#cats warsaw#cats the musical merch#cats warsaw merch#jellicle cats

All this talk about Ryan and Blake is making me realize why they are such good friends with Taylor. Ryan in specific. Him and Taylor as a couple would be a real we love money duo.
Also I remember that when Blake posted a photo of her in chiefs gear or something, people thought it was a bit weird in the caption she was like it's my first fun outing in years or something like that. As if she hasn't had a night off since the kids
Ryan and Taylor would never work as a couple lol because they are both the Rich Man lol and they actually have very similar personalities. This just reminded me that a few Chiefs players mentioned that Taylor was giving advice and asking questions about like why theyâre using specific plays/strategies lmao which I believe she did and does and will continue to do and itâs the same as Ryan butting in (but more random even because dafuq does Taylor Swift know about pro football đ) so I canât imagine them ever working like as a couple lol. He wants a wife and she tbh wants a wife too.
they do both love money tho thatâs true and is why they can easily provide for their wives đđ
I think Blake making jokes about Chiefs gear is overthinking her trad wife role lol like she does go out and she does party (with her friends and with Ryan) and she works tbh so no she doesnât wait to have one fun night in years. There are some trad wifey vibes going on as weâve said but not to the extent that she doesnât get time off.
Also fwiw unlike Ballerina Farm lady I think she has a lot of help (as she should because they can afford it). Theyâve said before they donât use nannies much but sheâs been papped with what certainly look like nannies and they very actively have never said they donât have nannies at all - they dance around it and say jokes about how their parents help and Taylor is âan expensive babysitterâ etc but the dancing around to me is them trying to be relatable lol (which is also SO weird to me when celebs do because most upper middle class people have help at least when the kids are little especially if there are several kids and ESPECIALLY when both parents work? Like why be weird about it lmao? You donât have to be Ryan Reynolds levels of rich to pay someone to come fetch your kids from preschool and entertain them for an afternoon while youâre at work lol like itâs really not THAT hectic of a luxury? The alternative is full day daycare? And middle class people - not upper - use babysitters sometimes? Like the only people who donât use any paid help for looking after kids are legit unable to afford it even as a luxury - which is not something to be ashamed of but isnât the situation here or even for people with comfortable middle class jobs? Or people who are very culty like the Ballerina Farm people lol. But other than that idk most people with some disposable income get some help in lol so idk why celebs get so weird about it).
The one celeb who was super normal about it and I really liked the vibe of was Keira Knightley who advocates a fair amount for parental leave and also like for accessible childcare in the UK and she has said several times she does so from a position of immense privilege. Sheâs said like she can afford a lot of help, which has allowed her to be a good mum and also keep working (and she enjoys her career), but she thinks itâs fucked that childcare is so expensive and that many women are forced to compromise their careers, which they might also be passionate about or enjoy, simply because they canât afford enough childcare. Thatâs a cool position to take. Blake and Ryan kind of acting like they donât have help/much help is đ and even more đđ was Gigi who said sheâd NEVER use a nanny in kind of a judgy way and then decided to go back to work so obviously got nannies lmao.

SDR2 guys x intimidating looking but sweet S/O
Hajime Hinata:
·      You had been Hajimeâs best friend for as long as he could remember. You were always so smart and the top in your class. Truthfully Hajime expected you to be invited to Hopeâs Peak, but⊠you were always rambunctious. As smart as you were, you didnât care for rules that existed outside ones of safety. You were labeled the school delinquent, getting into fights, breaking most rules for the sake of breaking them, doing whatever you could to get a reaction from others, all the while smiling and laughing away having the time of your life.
·      âAh! Hajime! Thatâs amazing!â âY/N!?â You scooped him into your arms, lifting off his feet, spinning around and around. âMY boy, going to HOPEâS PEAK ACADEMY! This is amazing!â Suddenly your spinning came to a stop, stomping a foot on the ground to do so. âHajime. Hopeâs Peak is far, so youâll be moving right? If thatâs the case, you better text me every day! Okay, you donât have to if you donât want too, but at least keep me informed of the big stuff like how your first day was or the school festival or at least the sports day! Or, OR! If youâd like, maybe I could move with you, somewhere close to the school and Iâll just get a job in the area so you could just talk to me in person! I would visit, but even by train itâs a two-day trip and Iâd probably get board at some point and get kicked off, and thereâs also studying for school or work or whatever I do.â A light pink dusted Hajimeâs cheeks, feeling a bit flustered at how excited you were, still effortlessly him closely, high off the ground. He swore his heart began to race seeing your absolutely beaming smile which seemed to shine brighter than the sun to him.
·      When with his friends heâd speak of you often, not to the point of annoyance, just enough for them to know he clearly missed you. From how he described you, you seemed to be the sweetest, most wholesome person in existence despite being a bit rowdy. So when Kazuichi caught Hajime holding hands and appearing to be going on a date with a person covered in scars exposed by your unbuttoned shirt, haired dyed a bright blond, scary tattoos, spiked jacket and boots, even having a mask covering you face, nobody believed him till Hajime walked in on the conversation, saying that was you. After that they insisted on meeting you, wanting to know such a seemingly contrasting person existed, and when they did meet you, they gave Hajime their approval, even if he didnât want or need it.
   Izuru Kamakura:
·      Many things Izuru found boring, but if he had to choose one thing he found more boring than anything else, itâd have to be the baseless rumors surrounding you, his partner, all because you had a scary face. It was so ridiculous he couldnât even entertain the idea of you secretly being the heir of a yakuza gang or something so off the wall even he couldnât recall. Whenever he heard such rumors as he walked down Hopeâs Peakâs halls, he thought he may just fall asleep from how tiring it was, thinking about the mental gymnastics people had to go through to even come to such conclusions.
·      It was another day and again he heard of your imaginary exploits of having killed a man in cold blood for money or some such and instantly he just felt exhausted. He continued to walk till he stopped before a door and knocked. âOh, hey Izu-baby. What brings you here?â â⊠I just found myself here.â You chuckled, simply opening the door, taking your boyfriendâs hand and leading him in.
·      You promptly plopped him into a seat, going off to get something, Izuru had the chance to examine the many brushes, hair products and hair accessories spread out on the counter. There were even several sticky notes on the edges of the large vanity mirror, neat writing noting some appointments you had. Seems like he had come in when you were cleaning between appointments. âI found a new brush and I think it should work well with your thick long hair.â You placed your a hand on one of the back rest corners of the chair, leaning a little over him, smiling as you held said brush before him. âThen test it.â
·      You giddily collected his hair, your touch occasionally grazing across his skin. Your hands though covered in cuts, slightly dyed from all your hair styling work, and probably tired from having worked for almost six hours straight according to the sticky notes, they still were ever so gentle, making sure to not get caught on or pull any knots. Then you began to brush, starting from the bottom and working your way up. âIzuru, you have a few split ends, and itâs been a while, mind if I give you a light trim while I have you here?â âYou have an appointment in forty-three minuets.â âHmm⊠Yeah, I can get this done in time.â Once you reached the top you gave his hair a few extra strokes from top to bottom, making sure you got everything. âOh, I also found a new shampoo which can help your hair. Itâs still so dull, but at this point it might be because of your diet since I canât seem to find anything that can work for you. Have you been eating? Has the staff been testing you on talents again and not feeding you?â âNo.â You were going to ponder for a moment, to try figuring out what your boyfriendâs problem could be when said boyfriend placed a hand on your cheek, lightly pulling you beside him. Closing his eyes, he leaned in and kissed you on the cheek. âYouâre so exhausted you forgot we spoke of this very subject yesterday.â âHuh?â Your entire face flushed a bright red, still unused to Izuruâs sparce displays of affection. Then to your confusion he pulled you onto his lap. âI-Izu-baby?â âYou are taking a nap.â For some reason in that moment of seeing you so flustered he recalled the rumors. The thought of you even harming a fly was laughable, you were the absolute sweetest, kindest, caring person he had ever met. Holding you close he simply leaned into you, thinking you could both use a nap together.
   Nagito Komaeda:
·      You made your own rumors. The ones about you secretly being an assassin, you started it. The one about how you once were an international thief, you did it. The one about you selling drugs, that one was actually an accident, you were just getting a friend their pain meds, but you spread about a few more stories like it not long after. Why purposefully spread rumors many would wonder⊠well⊠there were two reasons.
·      The first, you found most people annoying and simply didnât want to deal with them, content with your small, very close friend group. It was the perfect way to get people to back off so you wouldnât have to deal with them in their first place. You also found some fun in seeing people run from you from your presents alone, made you feel like some cartoon super villain which you found quite amusing.
·      The second reason⊠You had always told your boyfriend the first one, but to his confusion, youâd always avoid telling him the other reason. Nagito knew youâd had to have your reasons for not telling him, but⊠well you were his partner, of course he was going to worry a little even if it seemed you knew what you were doing.
·      But he could ignore it no longer when you took the blame for him. Nagito came up with a plan to blow up a building, forcing the exams to be delayed so his classmates could have more time to prepare for them⊠and you took for the blame for it, being expelled for a time, but not forever. You couldnât even stay on your dorm on campus, winding up staying in some cheap hotel paid by the school.
·      âWhy did you do it?â âEh, Nagito?â âWHY! Why did you take the blame for me!? I was trying to get you more time so you could show off in glory, but now youâre stuck here. Why did you do it?â Nagito was always so calm and composed, likely from facing disaster after disaster caused by his bad luck, but he was actually troubled, he was upset, but not even at himself like he always did thinking himself trash, no, he was legitimately upset with you. â⊠Normally people greet their partner with a âhelloâ or something.â The last thing you were expected to be greeted by your first morning exiled from school was your boyfriend in such a state. âI- No. Y/N, tell me, why?â â⊠IâŠâ You couldnât tear your eyes away from him, this new side you had never even thought existed, yet you also couldnât bear to look at him either so instead you looked to his feet. âI donât want to lie to you, but⊠I donât want to tell you the truth either. But! What I can tell you, is that this is fine, I chose this, I wanted this. So, you donât have to worry about me, this just means I have even more time to develop my talent.â You tried giving him a smile, but it just ended up strained seeing that didnât placate him. W-why? He always saw everything ultimates did was amazing and respected even the worst of decisions, yet⊠he was mad, and sad, and so many other things you couldnât pinpoint not being able to bring yourself to study his expression for long.
·      âNo, this is not fine. What you did is not helping you. This is only a detriment. I-I-I, I just canât understand! I canât understand why. How did this turn out so wrong?â â⊠the other reason.â âHuh?â You spoke so quietly, it was but a whisper, Nagito had just barely caught it. âThe other reason⊠Itâs why I NEED a bad reputation, not just something I want for the fun of it.â You sighed, preparing for the inevitable Nagito calling himself trash and you trying to comfort him song and dance. âYouâre such a volatile wild card. I never know what youâll do next. Nagito, you literally tried to blow up a building with people inside, I know your luck probably would have saved them or something or you assumed the ultimates inside would save the day, but⊠thatâs not healthy! Youâve been through so much and need help. I, I want to help you, but I just donât know what to do. So⊠to me, the best I can do is try to protect you.â Even as his eyes widened, realizing what happened, you continued. âWith a bad reputation, rumors of all sorts, both extreme and little, it can be expected that I can do anything without it being out of character. I can take on anyoneâs bad actions and call it my own and all will believe it⊠Even if I canât protect you from the insanity that is our life, the very least I can do is protect you from yourself, the consequences of your actions. I canât get you to at last see yourself as decent, I canât stop your luck from torturing you, this⊠this is all I can think of for what I could ever do for you⊠itâs the only kind of affection I can give without you saying or thinking youâre unworthy of it⊠though I guess I donât even have that now, but⊠I donât know, maybe this was-â
·      âŠ
·      He hugged you. He didnât know what to say. He took in everything you said, yet his mind was just blank. He had so much to say, yet he just could⊠All he could do was just nuzzle into you, one who was just so sweet and kind, and⊠he needed to better for you, Nagito at least new that for sure.
   Imposter:
·      Imposter wondered how they ever were lucky enough to find a partner like you. They never thought theyâd find anyone who could get them to see themselves as a person even without the disguises, let alone a whole class at one point. Yes, they still disguised themselves, but when they were just with you they felt okay to not keep the make-up, wigs and costumes. They were just⊠whoever they were without being someone else. Their own identity was something they still struggled with but working on it with your helped.
·      Individuals who could stay true to themselves no matter what were people they respected highly, that was probably what got them to fall for you in the first place. No matter who avoided you, the children who cried from seeing your large, buff figure, no matter the sports nuts who insisted on you joining their team, you always were the shy Super High School Level Flower Shop Keep who loved exercising.
·      When they first met you, they were masquerading as Beyakuya Togami, not exactly the most sociable of personalities, so they thought they scared you away. When first meeting a person you didnât speak much, instead youâd gift flowers and spoke through flower language. âOh, well⊠thereâs a lot you can say with flowers. Iâve just always liked them. I just like being outside, so I exercise a lot! But then I got toned, and already being on the bulkier side some people find me scary⊠Ah, but if I give the children flowers, they usually stop crying⊠unless a bee comes by, then they cry again.â Even though you were so soft spoken when you did speak, it was still rather intimidating. There was just so much power in it.
·      They rather enjoyed how youâd decorate them with your beloved plants, whether it be placing them behind their ear, in their hair, or in their breast pocket. They also adored each bouquet you gave. Very quickly their whole dorm room smelled of fast-food and a light floral perfume. They pressed and kept every last flower, preserving them all even the ones from when you first met.
·      You were so open and honest, even though you tried hiding it they knew when you had a crush on them- or well Beyakuya⊠They had no identity outside of whoever they were impersonating, but⊠the thought made their heart ache. So, when you came up to them with giant bouquet filled with tulips, purple roses, red roses, alstroemerias, and babyâs breath they could easily see even as you hid it behind your back, a bright blush on your cheeks, they knew what was happening, and rejected you before you could give them the flowers and confess. You hugged the bouquet close as they explained their situation, and even after, you still held out the flowers to them. âSo, your identity is more complex than I knew, but all our time together still happened. And if you change identities, itâll be like a change in color. Definitely different, even changing the meaning, but the base is still the same, youâll still remember our time together even as someone else.â And since that moment, no matter what came, you never left them.
   Gundham Tanaka:
·      The moment Gundham met the Super High School Level Vet, Gundham fell head over heels for them. They were an intimidating, brutish, scarred from battles past, every last feature was terrifying, their features sharp, everything about them commanded the respect of all, even getting his Dark Devas to be weary of them at first sight.
·      Caring for animals was a tricky job, it often involved getting scratches and bites, but you also needed to be patient and kind. You needed to be respected but also not appear hostile. A balance you embodied, looking fierce, yet you were so gentle and sensitive to others around you.
·      The pair of you always spent time looking after his many animals, tending to any injuries or illnesses they possibly could have gotten.
·      You also tended to Gundham Tanaka himself, much to his flustered, blushing protest. âI have no such injures of which you speak!â âTanaka, you canât even hold a pencil you hand is hurting so bad. Please let me at least look at it.â He kept refusing till some students came by asking if he were alright, fearing the scary looking person who kept looming around him all day. âPathetic! Of such a low level you canât even decern oneâs true nature!â Then he stomped off till finally he found you. âMy Emperor!â âHey Tana-â âI seek thy aid, for only one of your caliber could even remotely stand a chance of resisting my poisoned skin, let alone tent to the curse that plagues this mortal form!â You just silently stared at him for a moment before you started fussing over him, clutching his jacket since you wanted to hug him. âWhat happened!? Did it get worse!? Tell me EVERYTHING about how you feel! Do you think itâs infected!? How does it hurt!? Does it sting or burn, or what!?â Gundham himself began to panic, unsure as to how to calm and put you at ease, never before seeing you worried to the point of tears forming in the corners of your eyes! However, you did quickly settle down, getting serious tending to his woundâŠ
·      And even as you did so, you avoided touching him. If you needed to apply ointment, youâd use a q-tip, youâd do anything you could to not touch him⊠Even you tending to him sent his heart racing, showing vulnerability, he was used to giving the care, not the other way around. He felt vulnerable in a way, he showed you he was hurting, but you were so gentle with him, so aware of him, even stopping and giving him a moment to pause and collect himself.
·      Someone so attentive and understanding⊠He groaned, embarrassed at how giddy, and excited, and nervous even the mere thought of you made him.
   Kazuichi Soda:
·      He was terrified of you at first, even going so far as to actively avoid you. But then he met you. The moment he did so he was so confused as to how he found you scary? After actually taking to you, he found you, looks and all so adorable! Heâd gush to anyone and everyone about how kind and amazing and sweet you were. Heâd defend you to the death if a person even made the smallest negative comment about you, much to your complete embarrassment.
·      After becoming your boyfriend Kazuichi would always hang around you, cooing over everything that was you, shattering any intimidating precents you had with the man hugging your arm, speaking in such a sickeningly sweet tone with sparkling eyes.
·      Feeling like the world was against you, Kazuichi spent all his time with you to make up for it. No matter how many times you told him he didnât have to he insisted on giving you all the affection you so rightly deserve!
·      When you werenât embarrassed by the manâs antics youâd be just as affectionate in return. As he tinkered on whatever youâd hug him from behind, sighing, and nuzzling into the nape of his neck, tickling him, distracting him from his work. Heâd giggle, giddy out of his mind at having someone so sweet and adorable love him almost as much as he loved you!
·      If Kazuichi caught even one person giving you a funny look, heâd just hug and snuggle you with a pout, glaring at others.
·      âKazu, you donât have to defend me from everyone. I know Iâm not exactly the most approachable looking.â âWhat!? No! You are gorgeous! Adorable! Beautiful! Donât self-deprecate yourself!â âIâm not, I just⊠I know youâre affectionate, but you donât have to be so protective, I appreciate it, but you donât have to do this every time. I just want you to enjoy yourself not feel like you have to be my knight in shining armor or something.â âWell, I canât enjoy myself if others are being jerks!â Kazuichi would never admit it to you, but he felt guilty. He knew what it was like to be bullied, for others to make comments. He also felt guilty for judging you so much before meeting you. he was once scared with a person he instantly fell in love with after finally talking to them. He just wanted to make up for that, he wanted to say he was sorry⊠And feeling you hug him, thank him for being your knight, he was reminded all over why he loved such a sweet person so much, and he was determined to give you all the love he could to make up from being so cruel before.
   Teruteru Hanamura: part 1
·      Teru had a rather interesting relationship with the new delivery person. You werenât mean, but your whole aura was rather intimidating with your cold demeanor and with how muscular you were. Yet of all people, you were warm and kind to him. You merrily chat about your day, or about anything. Youâd get a laugh out of his flirting, even try and miserably fail at flirting back, something Teru found endlessly endearing. Whatever made Teru special he honestly didnât care, just enjoying your company so much.
·      After your hard work, well hard for most but for you it was just seemingly light stretches, Teru would cook a hearty meal for you to keep you going for the rest of the day! It was his favorite thing to do before opening the restaurant, just that single quiet moment of enjoying a meal with you.
·      Teru could find something attractive about anyone, but with you⊠well you were certainly attractive, a stallion, a ten out of ten to him, but he found he so quickly grew feelings for you. True a personâs personality or voice could be sexy but there was something different about it with you. But whatever it was, didnât matter to him, all he knew was that he just wanted to spend more time with you, and whatever you did together didnât matter to him, as long as you were together.
·      You sighed, taking another bite. âIs something the matter?â âIâm just going to miss this.â âWhat?â You didnât even glance his way, simply continuing to enjoy your meal. âYeah, I gotta move soon. Iâve actually stayed here much longer than I should, but⊠I just couldnât resist sticking around longer âcause of you⊠again.â âAh, well⊠thatâs too bad. Itâs been rather fun having you around.â âItâll be alright. I know youâll be fine without me. Actually, Iâd like to ask you to make a promise to forget me.â âForget you!? How in tarn- AH I- Ahem- How could I do that!?â You simply smiled and laughed, just as you did before. You placed a hand on his cheek, gently caressing him with your thumb. âYouâre the only person I can call a friend. I know you can keep this promise, thatâs just the kind of person you are. Sure, youâre a bit raunchy, but you truly are kind and care for others. You could never let me feel guilty about leaving you behind.â Teru was silent for a moment, just taking in what you said. âWhen will you be leaving?â âUh⊠I should say tomorrow, but Iâm thinking a week.â A week? Teru could work with that!
·      âPlease go on a date with me!â â⊠Huh?â In complete bafflement you just let Teruteru take your hands into his, a determined glint in his eyes. âIf youâll be leaving I want to make the most of the time we have left!â ââŠoh⊠uh⊠o-okay, we could do that.â
·      And so, the week was filled with date after date, going all out with no inhibitions doing anything you could think of from watching a movie to sky diving. Wherever you went Teru always had a packed meal on hand for the pair of you to enjoy. It was honestly the best week of either of your lives. And all too quickly it had already passed you by.
·      Standing on the bridge in the park you stood side by side watching the sun rise. âWell, thatâs it, I better get going. I really enjoyed this, just as always. Thank you.â âNow hold on a moment, you canât go just yet!â He held out a small plastic container to you. âYou need a good meal for the road! Donât know where youâre going, but wherever it is, itâd be a downright shame if I left you hungry along the way!â You simply stared at him for a moment before the softest, most earnest of smiles he had ever seen creased your lips. So tenderly you took the container. â⊠Some things never change I suppose⊠At least I know you can still keep that promise.â Then without so much as explaining your strange words, you disappeared as if you never even were there. It was sad for Teru, yet something in him knew heâd see you again, and that thought let him go back to his everyday life as if you never appeared, yet after that life just seemed more lively to him, just like those later years back in Hopeâs Peak, though as to why that time seemed livelier he couldnât quite remember.
  Nekomaru Nidai:
·      Being a rather intimidating looking guy with a heart of gold, Nekomaru took to understanding your situation quickly. Both of you being athletic and getting rather larger builds it just kinda naturally happened.
·      Being the exceedingly kind individual you were others often took advantage of that. Even if you knew it was bad you couldnât bring yourself to not help others in need for even the smallest of things. This was not something Nekomaru could stand, but finding you standing out in the rain for two days straight was the last straw and the man insisted on training you! You were a bit nervous at first not wanting to take up so much of your best friendâs time, but with some reassurances Nekomaru managed to warm you up, both literally and metaphorically to the training.
·      At some point the training turned into days out, going hiking up mountains, or jogging on beaches, swimming in lakes and doing crossfit, sometimes going out for walks in the night, exploring the city looking for things to do, perhaps some karaoke, some slow dancing by moon light, and yeah you two just ended up dating without meaning too.
·      The pair of you always came up with excuses like the slow dancing was training in balance, no you totally did not want to dance because it was a beautiful night and you could hear ballroom music not far in the distance, no that was totally not it, thatâd be dumb⊠or so you kept telling yourself in these moments so you would not confess to the man fearing he really did only see these outings as training and nothing else.
·      That was till you overheard Nekomaru chatting with his classmates, one of them asking how his âdateâ with you went and he spoke of your beautiful hike up the mountains, not even batting an eye at their wording. Did⊠did he not notice, or just not care? Did this mean he liked you too? Or did you mishear? Quickly getting frustrated with this line of thinking you decided to just settle this!
·      âThere you are-â âI have something to tell you!â The man silently stood there, just waiting. Okay, this was it, and you took a deep breath. âI⊠I REALLY LIKE YOU!â âI REALLY LIKE YOU TOO! YOU ARE A CHERISHED FRIEND OF MINE!â âNO, I MEAN- I-I-I LOVE YOU, I THINK!? I DONâT KNOW!â âI LOVE YOU TOO, A LOT IN FACT!â âN-NOT AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU!â âOH YEAH!?â âYES! SO MUCH!â
·      Screaming your feelings for one another was a very common occurrence in the relationship. Even if one of you simply caught sight of the other off in the distance youâd yell âI love youâs, which more often than not scared or startled the people around you hearing such loud, booming voices out of nowhere.
·      Life with Nekomaru could be a bit much at times, but it was well worth it for such an amazing guy.
   Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu:
·      You were perfect for him.
·      You didnât have any reputation really, but wherever you went people knew not to mess with you. Your mere presents not much but if one got close, they could feel this unsettling air about you making them go away. You, being the Super High School Level Street Fighter knew how to defend yourself from most attackers so Fuyuhiko didnât have to worry about your safety like heâd have to with most others like the majority of his old classmates like Hajime.
·      You were also the most kind and sweet person he had met. Behind closed doors youâd always have you arms open for Fuyuhiko. Youâd hold him close, just let him listen to your steady heartbeat and make him feel so safe and secure. His favorite thing was to just cuddle with you.
·      He also liked you being by his side, it served a dual purpose. One: if somehow when meeting some rival gang his reputation didnât precede him, you were enough to intimidate them at a glance, despite his own baby face. The second and much more important to him, just being with you. True you were well equipped to handle yourself, but you were still human can had come back home to him plenty of times with new scars not from your usual fights, so by your side he and Peko could protect you.
·      He also liked how you were with his subordinates. You were strict, showing no signs of weakness, more than willing to put them in their place should it be needed, yet that didnât stop you from being kind. Youâd do research for days on end trying to find the perfect birthday gift them. Youâd train their kids by hand in all ways of fighting, but not for attacking but self-defense, their parents were in a dangerous job so your âday jobâ of being a childrenâs fighting instructor helped to place their minds at ease a little.
·      If he could heâd go on for hours singing your praises. You were perfect for him in every single way without a single doubt.

Diluc x Reader
Lets Slip Away
The annual Dawn Winery Masquerade Ball, the biggest ball this side of Mondstat, or it used to be. Thankfully, Diluc had successfully scaled the ball down in size a little more with each passing year. Still, it didn't make much of a difference with the ballroom still being packed tight. No matter how the guest list shrunk, people found a way to take up the same amount of space as before. There's nothing I loved more than a dance, but it was the people I couldn't stand. Everyone liked to pretend they were an evil aristocrat once their identity was concealed. A fancy dress, a decorative mask, and a new hairstyle, and everyone felt invincible. It was the same thing every year; they'd order the staff around, drink till they lost control, and leave the manor a mess. It was deplorable.
After watching a woman toss a glass on one of the maids, I lost my cool. I may or may not have tossed my grape juice on the women in retribution. The maid couldn't do it, so I had to use my position as "Master" Diluc's best friend to get away with it. What I didn't expect was for the lady's husband to toss not just the wine but the whole glass at my face. While the glass didn't bust when the base hit my head, it did leave a notable bruise, and the wine soaked through my hair, mask, and dress.
Elzer stepped in immediately to settle the issue, and instead of sticking around to get a lecture, I slipped into the garden. Hiding between several grapevines. I listened to the music pour from the house above and pouted. If I had played my cards right tonight, I would have been dancing in an empty corner with Turner or maybe even Diluc if he was free. He always saved the last dance for me. When the party started to clear a little, we'd stay in my favorite corner and have a quick dance while he whispered about he'll find a way to have the event canceled next year. But no, I was being eaten by mosquitos fighting off a headache.
Holding my mask between my hands, the once white fabric had stained dark red. Even my cream dress was littered with splotches that wrecked of dandelion wine. Sucking in my lower lip, I held back a sudden wave of sadness. It settled into my bones and swept through my limbs in a jitter. Why was I so sad? I avenged the maid and did the right thing⊠but my chest ached.  Curling around myself, I tucked my head between my lap. There was a time and place for crying, and a party wasn't one. Yet, there I was, sobbing into the fancy gown Diluc had hand made for me. Of course, he wouldn't be mad at me for what happened, but the guilt was eating me alive. I had ruined the evening for myself and made things harder on my friend. "There you are. I've been looking all over-. Hey, Elzer told me what happened, but he didn't mention a welt. How badly are you hurt?" Diluc pushed through the vines faster and hopped over the last row. He knelt beside me and carefully lifted my chin so he could see my face. "I'm just being a baby." I leaned back, the moonlight catching my skin. He ran his thumb over the knot on my forehead, and he clenched his teeth. "Damn bastard." He looked back at the mansion. "He might be wearing a mask, but there's only one person in Mondstat with monogram shoe buckles." "What?" I laughed; he was so serious, but the idea of a monogram shoe buckle had me drying up my tears. "Who pays for that kind of thing?" "Mr. Barker." Diluc wiped under my eyes. "Are you hurt anywhere besides your head?" "Besides the guilt of running the dress you got me and making the party harder for you to manage, I'm fine." I let it out. There was no use in pretending it wasn't bothering me. I had learned a lot about Diluc in our years of being together. While he was a very perceptive man when it came to solving crimes and putting things together, he didn't have the same skill for guessing how I felt. He's known something was wrong before, but he'd just find ways to blame himself if I didn't tell him. "I'll have you another dress made, and those Barkers aren't your fault. Ms. Barker started it, and I ended it. There's always a little drama at these events." He twirled my hair around his finger. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop it entirely." "Don't go blaming yourself now." I scooted so close; I was almost in his lap. "Let's just focus on the music or the sky. I know you'll have to go back in soon, so let's just relax for a moment." "Hmm, I can hear it from here. It's nice." A soft number started to play, and people passing by the window cast shadows into the courtyard. He leaned his head against mine. Minutes passed by, and the song changed, both of us just settling our nerves. "So, I guess we won't have the last dance together this year." I hummed, the thought burning at the back of my mind. "I can't go back in there like this." I forced myself to laugh, trying to get it off my chest without sounding too sad. "We don't have to go back in. Elzer can handle the end of the night speech for me, like every year." Diluc stood, reaching his hand out to me. "Milady, may I have this dance?" "DilucâŠof course, you may." I pushed my insecurities down and gripped his rough hand. Being wealthy, Diluc had been trained in many different types of formal ballroom dances. When he was in the zone, there was no one but Kaeya who could match his prowess and aura. But I wasn't blessed with the same background. I was just the daughter of the maid, and while my mother was paid well, there wasn't enough money to pay for a dance instructor. However, Diluc taught me everything he knew. We use to spend hours after his class, practicing and gliding around the living room. After some time, I even got to join the classes as Diluc and Kaeya's partner. Creepus convinced my mother it was just good practice for the boys, but looking back, he just wanted me to get that experience as well. "You okay?" Diluc gently gripped my waist as I spun back into his arms. "Yes, I was just thinking about when you taught me how to dance." I closed the gap between us and started moving with the song. Diluc took charge after a few more movements, and I gave up trying to lead. It was always a fun game for us to try to take charge, but I normally gave in fairly fast. Every now and then, he'd let me lead, but I often stepped on his toes when I did.  The ground wasn't level as a dance floor, so it was easier to just follow Diluc. Since he took the first step, he was able to find the best footholds. When we did hit a small hump, we'd steady each other and share a small smile. It wasn't a seamless performance like when we were on solid ground, but it was fun. It also gave us a reason to cling tighter to each other. His broad chest was always so warm; there was nothing more pleasant than laying my head there and closing my eyes as we swayed under the moon. "That was always so much fun." Diluc spun me out, then back into his arms. "Father use to watch us practice, he never told me directly, but Elzer said it was one of his favorite memories." Diluc pressed his lips into a line, eyes turning back to the manor. "He always loved this event, but I can't help but hate it." "I'm not a fan of the crowds or the entitled guests. But I do enjoy dancing with you." I laid my head on his shoulder, bringing him back to the present. "It seems we only dance when this event rolls around. And I can't help but wish for more moments like this. So, while I understand your distaste, I do think Creepus had the right idea. This is a chance for all of us to come together do something we all lovedâŠit just is hard to enjoy when other people are so entitled." "I feel the same way. Dancing with you, it's always my favorite part of the ball." We swayed back and forth in a tight embrace, the music fading out and our footwork growing sloppy. "There's been so much to do recently. I'm afraid I've neglected you." "Mother told me that as friends get older, drifting apart is normal⊠I'm just glad you're still here with me. No matter how short that time is." He hugged me tighter, inhaling a sharp breath. "Maybe friends do, but my feelings for you are much stronger than just friends." I gasped before I could stop myself. Crickets chirped in the distance, and the lighting bugs emerged just as the party started to close. This moment was very much realâŠbut did he really just confess? "You want to be with me?" I slowly looked up, grabbing the sides of his suit. "As more than friends?" "I do." He pulled back a little, glancing at the ground. "How do you feel? Could you ever love me as more than a friend? I know it's selfish to ask that of you, given the dangers that follow my line of duty. But I can't deny myself any longer." "My heart is going to jump out of my chest, Luc." Grasping his hand, I pressed it to my wrist. He smiled, rubbing his thumb over my pulse. "I want to be yours, and you mine. To be honest, I've had feelings for you for a while now. I just thought you didn't return them." Heat climbed up my face, and I looked away to hide it. While his confession was so smooth, mine was energetic and messy. Why couldn't I keep it calm? "That settles it then." He stepped closer, our eyes locking and fingers lacing. "We'll be together from here on out." A warm breeze went by, picking up the bottom of my ruined skirt. "Next time there's a dance, you won't have to leave my side, nor I yours. There will be no flying wine glasses or uncouth guests. We can dance the night away without worry or interruption." "I don't know if a party could ever go that smoothly." I pushed his hair back and cupped his face. "Unless we barred over half the guest list." "If you don't think I'd do that, then you underestimate how far I'll go to make you happy." His checks tined red, barely illuminated by the moon. "Oh, I don't doubt you, Master Diluc. But I'm not hard to please, we could dance in the living room like we use to, and I'd be the happiest person alive." I tugged him closer, wrapping my arms around his hips, and swaying to an imaginary beat. "It's not often you add my title before my name." He hummed, letting me lead us to the song in my head. "Master Diluc, whatever do you mean?" I batted my eyelashes and snickered. "I didn't realize I added it. Maybe it's where I've spent most of the night talking about you, and not to you that I've forgotten how to be relaxed. There was many a guest who wanted to pry about your love life." "Well, you have a definitive answer now, Lady Amber." He kissed the top of my head, stopping for a moment. His body radiated a wave of heat, and he nodded to himself. "It's starting to get cold. We should head inside before you catch a cold. I'm sure everyone's left by now." "I don't want this moment to end." I clung to his shirt, the warmth he emitted making my eyelids grow heavy. Whenever he allowed me to use him as a personal heater, I took the chance. But this was the first time I didn't worry about it being the last.  "We have many more moments like this ahead of us." He supported me as we walked towards the mansion, looping his arm around my waist. "Let's go clean up, and turn in for the night. Tomorrow we can have breakfast and go for a ride along the river. How does that sound?" "It sounds so nice." Once we were back in the house, Elzer met us in the doorway. "Where have you been, Master Diluc?" He rubbed the bridge of his nose and glanced at me. "And you, Ms. Amber, what were you thinking tossing your drink? You completely ruined the night. I could hardly contain the guests" Diluc wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and Elzer's tone sifted from miffed to muted. "Elzer, the issue was with the guests, not Amber." He steered me towards the stairs, nudging me along. "Go on to bed. I'll be up there in a moment. I have some business to finish up." Diluc walked towards his office, motioning for Elzer to follow him. Elzer shot me a perplexed look and tried to mouth out, 'be more careful' before hurrying after Diluc. I whisper back, "okay," before taking the stairs two at a time before stopping. I wasn't going to get in trouble, so I might as well show I'm not ashamed. "Goodnight Elzer," I called after the older man, with as "pleasant" of a tone as I could muster. Parties almost always stressed him more than Diluc, but since Elzer was an employee, he couldn't run and hide like Luc. Truth be known, if Diluc hadn't been there, I would have gotten a long lecture on the importance of keeping good relations with potential business partners. But that's only because Elzer couldn't let his frustrations out on anyone else. I was always there to listen and receive his distain when things went wrong. It wasn't my favorite pastime, but it did help him feel better. It was surprising he was so stressed, he actually chastised me in front of Diluc. It must have been a tough night even after I left. I usually was lectured in private, but he really was ready to let me have it.  Once in the guest room, I disrobed. The heavy gown took several minutes to untie and loosen the laces, but once it was done, my lungs could fully expand. My ribs ached, so I rubbed circles on my sides till the initial throb dulled. The night had gone better than I ever planned, and now it was over. Yet, there was a worse throb in my chest than the pain of a corset. Diluc and I were finally together. We removed the ever-lingering question and just confessed. Why did it hurt inside? Was it that the party was hard on everyone else and I was so happy? Or was it something else? Tilling the blue pitcher on the nightstand, water rushed into the ornate basin below. Dipping a rag into the cool water, I began to wash the wine from my face. It had been such a stressful night. Perhaps the empty feeling inside was fear of the unknown. Or fear that Diluc would wake up and change his mind. That he'd send me away for good once he realized he could never be with someone of such low status. Someone who didn't couldn't even keep up public appearance at a ball. Maybe, it would just take me slipping up once when I was wearing a mask? Then he'd send me away from the manor. I finished cleaning up, then tossed the water out the window. Fixing the pitcher and basin back in place, I reached below the nightstand and pulled out my nightgown. Slipping on the flowy gown, I turned down my sheets and got comfortable. This guest room had been mine for as long as I could remember. While I still lived in the cottage by the river with my mother, I spent more nights at the mansion than at home. Diluc and I would rush through his paperwork every night, and I'd help get his gear ready to go protect Mondstat. I was his sidekick in many ways. Spending so much time there at night, it just made sense for me to sleep here too. We were a great team. Plus, the close proximity made things easier and less suspicious⊠But that wasn't the whole truth. It was more so that my mother had met someone new, and he had moved into our shared home. He was a nice man, a retired Knight of Favonius, but I just couldn't relax around him. He was stern about me not going out after dark, so staying over at the mansion became more and more frequent. Which was better for mom and Mr.Godfrey's partnership. But while I spent more nights away, mom started to believe there was something between Diluc and me, so she was happy to see me leave home. She was going to be overjoyed to hear the news that we confessed. Though, I'm sure she'll say kicking me out was the reason we finally admitted our feelings, which was not the whole truth. Still, I did miss my own bed sometimes. Pressing my back to the headboard, I curled my knees up and rested my head between them. Sucking in a deep breath, small tears slipped past again. There was too much happening. I couldn't think about one thing for too long. So much good just happened. Why? Why was I thinking about the bad? A familiar rasp at the door rang through the room. "Come in." Wiping my eyes, I sat up and pulled the covers up to my neck. "You're crying again." He walked into the candlelight. I could tell he had cleaned up before coming to see me. He was wearing one of his loose puffy shirts and some cotton pants; his hair had been smoothed and pulled into a low ponytail, water dripping from the ends. It didn't matter what he wore. He always looked unbelievably handsome. "Was it Elzer? He knows it's not your fault. He was just worried about our trade deal." "There's just so much to think about. I can't let myself be happy." I rubbed my eyes again. "What if you realize I'm not good enough for you? Or what if my mother's partner treats you poorly because you quit the Knights? Then that couple, what if they stop working with you and it hurts the business because of me? No one is ever going to see me as anything more than a gold digger." My brain let loose, new concerns and problems being added to my mix. "I'm so negative right now, and I know you probably just want to be happy that we feel the same wayâŠbut- I'm so sorry. "He pulled back the covers and crawled in with me. Wrapping me in his arms, the blanket went over our heads, and Diluc settled down. "There you go, having to comfort me like a child." I rested my hand on his shoulder. "You sure you could learn to love a mess like me?" "I already love you." He rubbed patterns on my back, pressing a kiss to the lump on my forehead. "You've been like this since we were children, plagued with worries beyond your control. I know that after you let it out, you always feel better. And that the minute you go silent, that's when I really need to do some digging." He paused drawing on my back and instead moved to play with my hair. "We'll figure it all out as we go, all the what's and if's. We'll take them one at a time, starting with the one I have control over." "Woah." He flipped me over, hovering inches from my face. He pinned me between his legs, the v neck of his shirt hanging open so I could see the red hairs on his chest. "You could be from the richest family in Mondstat or poorest, and I'd still want to be with you." He kissed me, pressing down just until our bodies touched. "I'd go as far as to say, if you were a member of the Fatui, I'd still be smitten. I would certainly find a way to break your ties with them, but I couldn't stop loving you. So, you are more than enough for me, and if anyone makes you feel differently, then I will handle it." "That's a bold statement coming from you." I ran my fingers through his ponytail as it hung over his shoulder. "I can't argue with that logic, but I promise I'm not a member of the Fatui." I wrapped my arms around his waist, encouraging him to squish me with his full weight. "I'm going to crush you." He fought against me, but I only nuzzled his neck, blowing raspberries. "Amber, hey." "I know. But I'd also like to point out how improper it is for you to be in my room at this hour. So, I'd like to be crushed as repayment⊠please." I let go of one side of his hip and wiped my eyes. "You are right. It is improper." He lowered himself a little more but didn't fully lay on me. "A true gentlemen would never stay this late with a proper young lady. However, there is something else I want that's a little scandalous." "What could that be?" I gasped, my lungs not fully expanding as his weight sunk down on my chest. He noticed as he sat up to his previous position. "A kiss?" He moved his elbow up and cupped my face. His eyes glimmered with the flame that was lighting up the room. His touch was gentle but so firm I couldn't imagine being in another person's embrace. At that moment, there were only two people in the world, and I was madly in love with one of them.  "That sounds quite proper to me. You should always kiss your lover goodnight." I stuttered a little, unable to keep up the playful banter as I looked at his lips. The smile that spread on his face made the butterflies in my stomach flutter. Archons, I was smitten.  His thumb brushed my lower lip before he brought his mouth down for a chaste kiss. Testing the waters, he hovered millimeters above me, and I stole his lips in a deeper kiss. Having a lack of experience in the field, I matched the pattern he set. Just like dancing, I tried to take the lead and failed miserably. So I did was I was best at, adding the fun flourishes. I curled my fingers into his hair and snaked my hand up his shirt and across his chest. He matched my movements, caressing my face and tilting my head up to deepen the kiss. Every star in the sky dulled in comparison to the explosion of light that spread over my body. He shifted back, catching his breath. he smoothed my hair and peppered, kissing around my face before setting back. "Thank you." He laced our fingers together, pulling my hand to his mouth and kissing my knuckles.   "Will you stay tonight?" I took our intertwined hands and kissed his knuckles in return. "I don't want you to leave just yet." "As you wish." He got behind me, adjusting the covers we had tossed around earlier. "Now, let's get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow." I laid my head on my pillow and scooted back until we were slotted against each other. His hand wrapped around my shoulders in a reassuring squeeze. "I love you." "I love you more." It took a while for all the blood pumping through my body to relax again, but once it did, I fell into a deep and peaceful sleep. Dreams of dancing through the clouds with Diluc filled my head, and I had the best rest of my entire life. Next to the man I dearly loved.  Â

Iron Dad Tony
Since the Widow had learned his secret and been so understanding, Peter became a bit less careful. While he used to only wear his old skirt when he was alone in the compound, now he would wear his new clothes when only one or two people were present or if Natasha decided they needed special training nights, which were girls nights where they would train and then watch action movies while making fun of the bad scripts and stunts. They would also paint each other's nails and do each other's hair. It was awesome.
As promised, Natasha burned his old skirt to ashes, but with his consent. Three days later, she gifted Peter a frame with a small piece of the skirt inside and it made Peterâs heart swell with love.
He could now say that his old skirt had been awful; it had too many colors and some nasty stains, but it still had been his first, so he had put the small memorabilia on his shelf.
--
Today, Peter, Mr. Stark, and Dr. Banner were the only ones present at the compound, so Peter put on a nice skirt that was full of colors, and that kind of looked like silk. It was one of Peterâs new favorites because it would swirl and flare when he walked.
After dancing around for a bit, and watching the effect in the mirror of his bedroom at the compound, Peter decided it was time to work on his assignment for next week.
Peter was fully engrossed in his work when his phone buzzed loudly.
>> Kid, I know youâre busy with your assignment, but I have an emergency here. Could you come by? - TS
Without even thinking about it, Peter rapidly answered
<< Sure Mr. Stark. Omw
With that sent Peter left his bedroom, not remembering in his rush that he was still wearing his new skirt.
--
When Peter entered the workshop of Mr. Stark, the billionaire briefly took his eyes away from the armor he was working on.
âKid, you may want to change before coming closer. Motor oil is a bitch to take out of silk.â The comment was said offhandedly, as if Mr. Stark wasnât talking to his mentee wearing a fucking skirt.
Peter felt his cheeks redden, realizing he had left his room in such a hurry that he hadnât thought to change. He was startled when Mr. Stark started to talk again.
âPete, itâs kind of an emergency here. Can you change and move on, please?â The urgency in his mentorâs voice got Peter to move, but not to change. âPete, youâre going to stain the skirt, come on.â But Peter didnât listen.
âWhat do you need me for, Mr. Stark?â
The older man sighed but started to explain.
For three hours the two men worked seamlessly like they always do. When the part of the armor they were working on was done, Mr. Stark silently led Peter to the sofa in the lab. He made Peter spin once, to look over the skirt before he let Peter sit on the couch next to him.
âSo, Petey Pie. When did you start to wear skirts, and why did you never tell me?â Mr. Stark sounded calm and not disgusted; Peter did not really know what to think about it. âAnd this isnât silk. What for the love of Tesla is that thing?â
Peter sighed. Were they all going to criticize the type of skirts he was wearing and not the fact he was wearing them?
âI-I started to wear one, uh, 4 years ago?â Peter felt his cheeks redden again and bowed his head to look at his hands, avoiding Mr. Starkâs gaze. âI found it--well... it was truly horrid, Natasha burned i-â Before he could finish his sentence, Mr. Stark cut him off with a frown.
âWait, hold on, Underoos. Natasha knew before me?â The billionaire puts a hand on his chest; always one for dramatics. âWhy? Wait, no, sheâs a superspy. Did she guess?â
âShe walked in on me,â Peter admitted. He felt rough fingers against his chin to lift his head up and force his eyes to meet his mentor.
âYou know, when I was your age - a little younger maybe - I had a... well, Dad and--Dad called it a phase.â Peter knew his mentor had meant Dad and Obadiah Stane. It made Peter want to punch the guy. âFor an entire month, I wore nothing but very short skirts.â Peterâs breath hitched at the confession, making Mr. Stark smirk. âTo be honest, I only wore them to make my dad angry, but I still liked it, and those skirts made my ass look like sin. Well, everything makes my ass look like sin, but the skirts...they were really nice.â
âBut, then, why did you stop? And why does no one know about that?â Peter asked with a small voice, still looking at his mentor even if the man had let go of his chin sometime before.
âI--They made me. If I am being honest, they paid a lot of people a lot of money to bury every piece of evidence from that month.â Mr. Stark frowned suddenly. âFRI, baby girl?â
âYes, boss?â The AI answered.
âDo we still have pictures of that time?â There was a short silence before the AI starts to talk again.
âYes boss, we do,â the mechanical voice sounded, amused.
âWe should leak those one day.â Peter choked on nothing, making the older man wink at him. âOh, and before I forget, FRI, call Thomas and tell him to bring skirts and dresses for my protegĂ©.â FRIDAY didnât answer, but Peter supposed she already was calling whoever Thomas was.
Mr. Stark stood, making a gesture at Peter to stay put, and went to a little room where he kept a small desk to do things that didnât warrant going to his main office. He came back with a kraft envelope and sat back while he simply gave the envelope to Peter.
âI was supposed to give this to you on your Birthday, but I think there will be no better occasion than this one.â Peter watched the envelope dumbly, asking himself what was inside. âOpen it up, kid.â
However, before Peter could move, FRIDAY started to talk again.
âSir, Mr. Watson refuses to âclothe a man with a dressâ.â
Tony lifted an eyebrow. âFire him.â Peter opened his mouth to argue that there was no need to fire someone over him, but Mr. Stark continued. âWait, was he insulting?â
âYes, sir.â If she hadnât been only code, Peter would have said FRIDAY was angry, but Peter was probably projecting.
âOk, sue him and then fire him or the other way around. Let Legal take care of that. Shit, Pepper is going to kill me,â Mr. Stark muttered, standing up to start to pace.
âMrs. Potts has not been using Mr. Watsonâs services for some years, boss. Not after they had an argument about the place of women.â Peter saw his mentor getting angry at hearing that. âShe has another tailor. His name is Richard Bernard and he comes highly recommended by Mrs. Potts. Should I call him?â
Mr. Stark huffed. âYes, you do that. And FRIDAY? Next time someone treats my wife badly, tell me. While she can take care of herself, I refuse to continue to employ assholes. Tell her that.â Peter smiled softly at the ardor in his mentorâs demeanor. Mr. Stark breathed deeply and turned to Peter. âNow, kid, open the thing.â Mr. Stark made a wide gesture to the kraft envelope still on Peterâs lap.
Peter carefully pulled the tab and opened the envelope, taking the papers before looking up at Mr. Stark to make sure he could read them. Mr.Stark nodded, encouragingly, so Peter started to read and was startled at the content on the first paper. Peter frantically began to go through all of the papers, but they all said the same thing: Adoption.
When Peter looked up from the papers on his knees, it was to see Mr. Stark kneeling in front of him, watching Peter with a smile, and taking one of Peterâs hands inside his.
âWe have known each other for years, and I would never hope for a better son than you, and for someone better to inherit Stark Industries when my time comes, Peter Parker.â Peter wanted to interrupt; wanted to tell the man that while Peter saw him as a dad too...that Peter would love nothing more on this earth than to be his son, but he was not worth it. He was only Peter, after all.
But Tony Stark knew him too well and just continued to talk, gently squeezing Peterâs hand. âYou are smart, kind, and brave. I once told you that I wanted you to be better, and the truth is, you always were better. No, Peter, I may have changed the last decade or so, but at your age, I was nowhere as good as you. I would never have been a hero if I had received your powers. I am so proud of the man you have become, and I want to officially call you a son.â
âBut--I know nothing about business,â Peter said lamely. It made Tony smile.
âWell, itâs not knowledge I was born with, you know. There are some classes you can take, and Pepper and I are ready to teach you everything we know. We would have done this sooner, but we wanted to give you until your 21st Birthday to be a normal kid.â Tony gently stroked Peterâs hand. âAnd before you ask, no, I do not care that you wear skirts or that you are bisexual. Yes, I know about that, Iâve seen how you watch the Soldier.â Peter wanted to deny it, but he really couldnât because he currently had a very big and hopeless crush on one James Buchanan Barnes. âThere is nothing--except going to work for Hammer Tech, and maybe SHIELD--that will change the way I see you. You are my kid, Peter Parker. Will you agree to be my son?â
And what could Peter say? He loved the man like a father and looked up to him. He even loved the horrible dad jokes Mr. Stark started to tell every now and then.
âIt-it would be my honor, d-dad.â And Peter couldnât take it anymore as he jumped into his mentorâs...no, his fatherâs arms.
And if both of them cried while hugging the other for a long time, it was no oneâs business.
--
Richard Bernard made Peter the most awesome clothes, but Peter had to admit that while he loved them, (silk was such a pleasure on his sensitive skin) the ones he bought with Natasha were still his favorites.
Natasha looked at him like he was a moron, but did not comment. Peter was emotional, so sue him.
Pepper gifted Peter with some make-up, and with Natashaâs help, they taught him how to use it.
Now that Peter had more freedom to put on his dresses, skirts, lace, and silk, he discovered that he did not crave it as much as before. He even started to have fun with his other clothes, especially since Tony gifted him a great collection of graphic tees with all the best science puns.
Itâs not as if he didnât want to be pretty anymore, Peter did, but itâs not a desperate need anymore. Some days he wanted to look cute, and others, he wanted jeans and t-shirts.
Peter was very lucky.

Meeting and Dating Brand Walsh
(Not my gif)(Requested by anonymous)
- Pretty much everybody in your town knows each other by name, phone number and house number so either way you would have known of Brand; and him of you, your entire life.
- That being said: you and Brand had been best friends since the two of you were little. You would always be over at the Walsh house and practically attached to Brand by the hip. Youâd babysit Mikey with him, take the goonies trick or treating; any free time you had you spent it at their house.
- You were practically a part of the family and with that closeness came the gradual development of your feelings for the sweet boy who always took care of you and knew you better than anyone else.
- It seemed like the natural order of things that the two of you would get together. Youâd both been; quite obviously, dancing around your feelings for each other for quite some time.
- Finally, one day after school while you were sitting in front of him; watching mtv while he exercised, heâd suddenly asked what youâd say if he asked you out. Without hesitating, youâd replied that youâd say yes.
â...Then do you want to go out?â He asked and youâd turned to look back at him with a smile, answering with a yes and watching as a grin lit up his face.
- The two of you went to a town fair for your first date which was most likely interrupted by the goonies more than a few times. You spent the afternoon running around playing games, going on rides and sharing food as you smiled and roughhoused a bit.
- You shared your first kiss at the end of the night, right that the gates of the fair. It was short, soft and sweet and you couldnât have asked for any better. You shared a few more as he walked you home and the two of you said goodnight with as much love and hope in your hearts as possible.
- And just like that, everything in your lives seemed to fall into place.
- Thereâs a lot of pda in your relationship. Heâs a very touchy person in general so of course heâs going to have his hands, arms and lips on you as much as possible.
- His arms are wrapped around you constantly.
- Handholding.
- Forehead kisses.Â
- Passionate kisses. He likes when you wrap your arms around his neck; or wrapping his arms around your neck.Â
- Soft kisses. Brand is a gentle, sweet boy under his jerky, older brother act and a lot of his kisses reflect that.
- Tight hugs where he lifts you off the ground.
- Getting slung over his shoulder.
- He canât help but smile and/or shyly chuckle whenever someone mentions you but he always tries his best to get out a âleave her out of this wimpâ.
- Being tugged into his lap.
- Cuddling on his arm chair.
- Brand doesnât really care how you cuddle as long as you are cuddling. That being said: a lot of the time, youâll cuddle while hugging each other.
- His mother pays more attention to Mikey most of the time so heâs somewhat starved for attention.
- Heâs probably pretended to hurt himself/be hurt so that youâd baby him a little.
âOh, I must have pulled a muscle or something ow ouch that really hurts-oh y/n, really, you donât have to help- ow, ow, ouch. I mean really itâs fine, Iâll be fine.â
- Play roughhousing. Whatâs better than wrestling with your boyfriend?
- The goonies call him out for it, but; half the time, he lets you win whatever it is youâre doing together because he likes seeing your little excited reactions.
- A gentleman when it comes down to it. Heâll help you up/down places, open doors for you, carry you so that you donât get your shoes wet or hold his jacket over his head, etc.
- Since youâve been friends for so long, he just isnât used to calling you pet names so he usually just calls you by your real name. Occasionally, heâll throw in a sweetheart or babe every now and again.
- Him and Mikey both rush to the door every time it rings to see if itâs for them.
- Getting him to be nicer to the goonies. He isnât necessarily awful to them but he does act like a jerky older brother so you get him to ease up on that a bit.
- He occasionally gets a little jealous over how cute you find his little brother. Everyoneâs always soooo worried about Mikey and paying attention to little Mikey.
- Itâs incredibly easy for you to persuade him to do things. All you have to do is give him a little smile and grab his arm/hand and heâs pretty much immediately surrendering to your whims.
- You once convinced him to let you do his makeup; he was folding his arms the whole time and the goonies may or may not have walked in but he let you. It also may or may not have been because he knows Mikey would have probably let you do it to him, and because heâs just a pushover for you.
- Bike rides. He paid a lot of money for his bike so he obviously wants to use it, and it gets you a little privacy; away from the goonies.Â
- Going on little adventures.Â
- Beach dates.Â
- Walking home from school together, or just always going to his house once classes are over.Â
- Television dates. What do teenagers do besides watch MTV?
- Wandering around town and just doing whatever comes to mind. The two of you rarely have a plan when you go out and usually just wind up finding a place to sit, talk, and makeout without his brother stumbling across you; though he probably still has.Â
- The goonies crashing your dates. You have a bit of a soft spot for them so you usually feel bad when telling them to leave, which ultimately leads to Brand relenting and letting them stay for a little while.
-Â Given that Mikey is his brother and his mother is his mother, he has a habit of absentmindedly correcting you when you make a mistake. Itâs sort of nice though, since he never treats you like youâre stupid; just says the right thing without and moves on even thinking.
- He thinks everything you do is really cool. He especially thinks itâs cool when you stand up to people and/or act all tough; especially if youâre small.
- His mother obviously loves you. Sheâs liked you since you were little and probably figured that it was only a matter of time before the two of you got together.
- Driving the two of you places and/or helping him pass his next drivers test.Â
- Making sure he exercises responsibly.Â
- Different shows of strength; he really likes impressing you. Why not show off a little when youâre working so hard at something?
- Getting to wear his jacket since heâs protective and used to being an authority figure. He also just finds it cute that itâs so big on you.
- Cute little jokes, sarcasm, and quips. Heâll be able to make you laugh somehow!
- Heâs always listening to you, even when it seems like he isnât paying attention.
-Â He always notices when youâre upset and just opens his arms so that you can give him a hug. Heâs good at and likes being able to comfort you; even if he can act like a jerk sometimes.
- Heâs not an incredibly jealous person but he does get a little annoyed at certain people; itâs usually justified though ...unless itâs his brother. He wonât exactly try to hide it either, heâll make it clear that he doesnât like someone, heâll just never give you a straight answer as to why. (His dislike of someone also isnât helped by Mouth trying to provoke him.)
-Â Heâs obviously very protective of you. Heâs perfectly willing to fight someone or jump into danger right after you. Whenever youâre scared, youâll probably have a habit of clinging to him because of it. Heâll merely pull you close and make sure youâre okay whenever you do.
- Thereâs a few arguments here and there but you donât ever really fight very seriously. Itâs not too often that he completely loses his temper so things donât usually escalate beyond him getting the normal amount of annoyed.
- You just leave his house with a pointed âfine!â, spend some time on your own to cool off and then; maybe, return some time later with a willingness to make up. Either that or heâll call you later that night and give an apology.
- âI love yousâ every once in a while. Heâs a typical teenager; and one with older brother tendencies at that, so he doesnât say it too often though it is often enough.
- Well, he isnât going anywhere any time soon, and his feelings for you certainly wont be either, so you have nothing to worry about in the long run. Might as well start planning the wedding now, honey.

aphrodisiac
requested: no
group: twiceÂ
pairing: mina x fem!reader
genre: fluff, extremely mild and short angst
contents: witch!mina, love potions, college!au
warnings: none
synopsis: Youâre broke and desperate, so you donât think twice before taking a love potion thatâll make you fall in love with a mysteriously perfect girl. But maybe you should.Â
a/n: hehe i like the idea of this!! iâm just not sure how well i executed it đ€ happy valentines day, my loves â€
word count: 6.0k
While everyone knew that working the 9-12 weekday shift at the campus bookstore was the worst job you could possibly get, you didnât feel quite as exhilarated to have been laid off as you should have.
As the one who had suffered at the hand of old Mrs. Lee for almost the entire duration of your time on campus, you knew the torture better than most. So it was an understatement to say that you were exhilarated to be free of ironing book pages out and restocking the shelves at Mrs. Leeâs whims, that you were practically beaming when you got the email.
But on the other hand, it wasnât like you had much money to spare, or like you had the ability to find another job in the crowded university. When you felt your wallet in your back pocket, completely empty save for a couple crinkled receipts, the grin faded from your face; after all, it would be even harder to survive without the aid of your measly salary.
So as you pinched together a couple quarters to buy yourself a consolatory iced chocolate, you found that being let go from the shittiest job in the world didnât feel as triumphant as you had expected. Not when you were, once again, scouring the papers stabled to the lightposts around the campus for anything that offered a quick paycheck.
Well, almost anything.
âI will not.â
âWhy?â Lisa was close to whining, though the pout that she directed fully at you did her no favors. âYou said you needed to get paid.â
You sighed, âI said i needed to get paid, not launched in the air like a damn cannonball.â
Lisa scowled and tapped her fingers on her face, her hands still cupping her chin as she attempted to convince you. âCome on, the dance teamâs willing to pay. It costs less to pay you than to get a dummy, so--â
âThatâs not helping to convince me,â you warned. As desperate as you were, and as much as you liked Lisa and her fellow dancers, you definitely didnât trust them not to launch you in the air and break your neck. âAre you sure that you donât know about any other job offers? Anything that wonât murder me?â
She considered it, chewing on her bottom lip. You could feel other students eyeing where you sat, one of the only seats in the incredibly tiny boba shop, but you refused to budge until Lisa gave you an answer. âOh! There is one I can think of, actually. You know the bio lab?â
âYeah.â You watched her suspiciously, arms crossed. âIâve been there a couple times. Why?â
âWell, it isnât a normal bio lab,â Lisa mumbled, leaning in as if what she was about to tell you was the greatest secret in the world. âA lot of them are witches, you know.â
It wasnât like you didnât believe in witches, or the supernatural-- both had been proven to be true eons ago, and almost half of the students attending your university werenât completely human. But you were still a little skeptical that the pretty and equally brilliant girls who ran the campusâs bio lab were... âWitches? Are you sure?â
âWhy would I be lying?â Lisa rolled her eyes. âIâm friends with a couple of them, and I know that theyâre doing an... experiment of sorts, and they need--â
âLab rats,â you finished for the dancer. In all rationality, being a lab rat for a couple of young witches with access to a high-tech lab was probably worse than getting launched up in the air by a dance team, but when Lisa slid a flyer over and your eyes widened at the offered money, you instantly stood. âTake me.â
Lisa pouted but stood anyway, taking the flyer back to squint at the tiny scribbled building number. âI canât believe you trust Mina more than you trust me.â
âMina? Is that the name of the âwitchâ Iâm selling myself to?â you asked, slightly sarcastic but also slightly curious. At the dancerâs nod, you exhaled lightly and shoved your seat in just to watch the next people scramble for it, and hummed on your way out, âThen letâs meet this Mina.â
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that your entire school was close to dilapidated, but something about the bio lab was almost creepy as you approached it. Lisa had long since set off for the dance room (something about Seulgi breaking Tenâs ankle, she claimed), so you hesitated in front of the cloudy glass door alone. But the thought of the $600 dollars scrawled onto the flyer scrunched in your fist prompted you to push the doors open and step into the lab.
There was already a decent amount of people buzzing around inside; you recognized quite a few of them and nearly laughed at the amount of students willing to possibly be poisoned. But you took the nearest empty seat as someone appeared at the front of the room.
âWow, this is a great turnout.â
The crowd chuckled lightly, and your eyes nearly bugged out at the sight of the girl standing at the front with papers in her hands. Honestly, she was the kind of girl that you imagined people wrote love songs about-- absolutely perfect without having to really do anything, elegant and soft in a way that still stood out. She smiled slightly and waved, eyes darting around the room. âHi. Iâm Mina, Iâm part of the coven that sent out the flyers.â
You joined in the chorus of greetings, but your eyes stayed fixed on Mina at the front of the room. You could see several other girls lurking around in the shadows, probably the other members, though they kept beckoning Mina to speak on her own. âUm, Iâll just... explain the project to you,â she chuckled nervously, darting over to the computer.
Once a slide was displayed on the wall, she rushed back to the front and explained, âBeing a potions-focused coven and also biology majors, we wanted to conduct an experiment. A love potion, or an aphrodisiac in scientific terms.â
Murmurs arose around you, and even your eyebrows scrunched together; as far as you knew, aphrodisiacs werenât real, and if they were, they were probably illegal. In response, Mina raised her hands and her voice slightly to call out, âHey, hey. Itâs an experiment. We were originally planning to accept all of you, but... I think itâll be hard to conduct an experiment with 50 people, so please fill out the form we pass out.â
And like that, Mina joined the rest of her friends in passing out the clipboards. You didnât watch them, only scanned the lab for any signs that you were about to die, so when you were tapped on the shoulder, you almost fell off your stool. It was Mina herself, a slight pink tinting her pale skin as she held out one of the forms to you. âUh. Thanks.â You accepted it with a bow of your head, staring down at the paper. It looked legitimate, with areas for your age, your height--
âWhatâs your name?â
In your haste to read over the paper, you hadnât noticed that Mina hadnât left. When you looked back up, you could feel heat burning at the tops of your ears, and you answered, âY/N. Y/N Y/L/N, though youâll read it on my application.â
âOh. Of course. Thanks for coming, Y/N,â Mina mumbled, bowing before moving on to someone else. You noted that she didnât ask for the name of anyone else, but you passed it off and turned back to the form. Since when did becoming a covenâs lab rat require your blood type, anyway?
After nearly a week, you had almost given up on being accepted into the experiment. But just 5 days after turning your form in, you got the text.
Unknown number [4:57] Â Is this Y/N Y/L/N? My name is Mina, we met at the bio lab last week. Iâm texting to tell you that you got accepted into the program; weâre meeting at the lab again at 9:00 tonight to discuss the experiment further.
You [5:00] Â yeah, itâs me. iâll be there.
It wasnât like what you wore to the meeting mattered; all you were doing was being briefed on exactly what was about to happen to you. But all through your classes of the day, through your futile studying, you couldnât keep your mind off the experiment that you had somehow been accepted into, and whether it was a good idea to go at all.
Suffice to say, you went.
âY/N?â the girl at the entrance of the lab asked. You recognized her from the week before-- dark hair, bunny-toothed smile. âYou are Y/N, right?â
âYeah,â you answered, shifting your weight from one foot to the other. âWhy?â
âOh, nothing,â she smiled. âWeâre just taking roll, making sure everyoneâs here. Take a seat inside, if you will.â
You obliged, nodding awkwardly before brushing past her. To your relief, the lab was nowhere as packed as it had been the week before, 7 people including yourself seated on the stools as the girls fiddled with test tubes in the back. One pair of eyes in particular lingered on you, before Mina was pulled back to talk, but your cheeks warmed nonetheless.
âOkay, everyone!â someone else announced, clapping her hands together. âMy nameâs Jihyo, Iâm the head of the coven. This is Nayeonâ -- the bunny-toothed girl from earlier waved-- âand Mina. Weâll be explaining the experiment to you today.â
She pulled the projector down and Nayeon stepped up, flashing a grin at all of you. âBasically, we made an aphrodisiac. And to test it, weâll have all of you do the exact same things with the exact same person-- Mina.â
Mina stepped forward this time, and you couldnât help smiling at the shy smile that tugged at her lips. âTo keep conditions equal, youâll all be going on the exact same 2 dates with me,â she explained. âIâll take notes on how you act around me, and weâll test how you feel about me at the very end. Any questions?â
The room was basically silent and honestly, you couldnât see a downside to it either. Take a potion once and go on dates with a pretty girl, then get observed like a hamster on its wheel so you could get paid? A million times better than your old job. âGreat,â Jihyo nodded. âThen, weâll get started. If Y/N could be the first one? Youâll just go into a room with Mina to get interviewed and take your first dose.â
âDonât die,â someone called out as you passed, and you flashed a glare despite not knowing who it was. Nayeon giggled as she opened the door for you and closed it behind you, leaving you in what you assumed to be a supply closet. Romantic.
âHi,â Mina greeted softly, already seated across the table. âIâll just ask you a series of questions, if thatâs okay.â
âGo for it.â
âRate how attracted you are to me on a scale from 1 to 10.â
Your jaw dropped immediately; for the first question, it was awfully invasive, especially when Mina voiced it with such a straight face. But you straightened your spine and answered stiffly, â9.âÂ
It shouldâve been 10, but you werenât trying to look like a literal creep; Mina only hummed and marked a circle on her form, moving on to ask, âAre you considering dating anyone else at the moment?â
âNo.â
And in that manner, the questions passed decently quickly, with Mina asking them as flatly as possible and you answering them with the exact same tone. As soon as she set the clipboard aside, though, she returned to her original sweet state. âIâll just have you swallow this now, if thatâs okay.â
The test tube was cold to the touch when you uncapped it, and the liquid inside was suspiciously clear. But you barely gave it a passing glance before downing it like a shot, asking with narrowed eyes, âIs it supposed to taste like nothing?â
âWell, we figured that not everyone would like to taste tequila once a week with none of the good effects,â Mina chuckled and placed the empty test tube in its place.
âHow fast will I see results?â you questioned as you stood. âLike, am I gonna wake up in a cold sweat tonight because I canât handle how much I suddenly love you?â
The girl shook her head, though it was a bit hesitant. âI donât believe so. It should only become more prominent once you see me more often. Which reminds me, Iâll text you about our first date as soon as I can. Thank you for participating, Y/N.â
You snatched your jacket up and stumbled your way out of the room as quickly as you could, hoping no one was looking as you closed the door behind you with a quivering pulse.
Despite the witchâs words, you were sure that the potion was already taking effect. Why else would your heart start to throb terribly as you looked at her smile?Â
mina [8:16] Â Hello Y/N! I was wondering if you had class today?
Mouth full of cheap cup ramen noodles, you stared at your phone screen. If Mina was asking you about your schedule, she had to have something planned (for the experiment, of course. You werenât delusional). And you werenât sure if you were mentally ready to see her shy smile again.
But when the thought of the $600 dollar check popped into your head, you reached for your phone and started to type again.Â
You [8:19]Â Â hey, mina. i donât have class, actually, is this something about the experiment?
mina [8:20]Â Yes! If possible, please meet me at the front of the school, weâll be visiting the food trucks at the beach. Iâll pay!
Your stomach growled at the thought of the renowned food trucks at the beach by your university, and you typed out a hasty agreement before stuffing your phone into your bag and setting off for your apartment. There was no way you were enjoying such an opportunity for good food (and perfect company) in a slightly ramen-stained hoodie.
Thankfully, Mina didnât seem to mind you being late when you approached her. âHi, Y/N,â she smiled and hitched her bag higher up her shoulder. âIâm glad to see you.â
âHi,â you breathed. Well, at least you tried to-- you could barely remember how to function when faced with Mina in a slightly cropped red top, her hair tied up in a little ponytail. But you followed her down the street well enough, towards where you vaguely remembered a fleet of various food trucks to be. âSo, have you already conducted this part of the experiment with everyone else?â
Mina shook her head and answered, âNo, youâre the first. You took the dose first, so youâll be a bit like the guinea pig within guinea pigs.â
You snickered at that, nearly tripping over one of the raised cracks in the ground. Sure, the way down the hill to the beach wasnât the safest one ever, but at least it was convenient for conducting test dates. âThe lab rat. You know, this doesnât seem remotely like a scientific experiment.â
âWhat do you mean?â the other girl asked, eyes on yours.
Coughing, you looked away from her gaze, though you could feel her still staring at the back of your head. âI mean... itâs not exactly normal for 7 people to drink a potion that tastes like nothing, then go on dates with a pretty girl and treat that as testing.â
âYou think Iâm pretty?â
âThatâs what you got from my whole spiel?â you sighed in disbelief, turning to look at Mina. She laughed, gums showing slightly and her eyes twinkling, and you were forced to turn to the front yet again. âWhatever. Which trucks are we raiding first?â
And as it turned out, Mina was... generous. You were tempted to ask how she was going to keep herself from going broke if she bought that much food for everyone, but watching her bring yet another load of snacks over to where you sat on the wall, you werenât sure if she cared too much. âHey. Are you gonna pay for every date?â
âHm?â She looked up from her Americano and considered the question. âWell, yes? I mean, we planned for the second date next week to be the fair, and I wouldnât want any college student to have to pay for those overpriced tickets.â
âArenât you a college student?â
Mina hummed lightly and dug into her ice cream, sucking thoughtfully on the spoon. âWell, my parents are... well off? Iâd like to put it that way, at least. And I think that when I can, Iâll use that to make others happy. Or to further our covenâs experiments.â
âRich family,â you observed. âCool.â To be honest, you didnât really care about how much money anyoneâs family made, but it was nice to have all that food paid for. After all, the sheer amount of things Mina bought couldâve covered several months worth of the finest ramen that the restaurants around campus couldâve offered. âThen whyâd you end up going to college here with us normal people?â
She raised an eyebrow jokingly and gathered her knees to her chest. âAm I not a normal person anymore?â When you opened your mouth, slightly sheepishly, she giggled and waved a hand, answering, âI ended up choosing this college because my best friends came here. Weâre all Japanese, and Sana wanted to come to Korea, so Momo and I just came along for the ride.â
âAh.â You turned to watch the sky, the sun melting golden into the surface of the waves just a couple dozen feet away. You understood why it was called golden hour as you watched bright yellow rays flicker in Minaâs eyes and glow in her hair, and you had to resist the urge to pull out a camera and capture the feeling of a first date, as much of an experiment as it was. âMakes sense. Then-- howâd you find your coven? I donât remember a Momo or a Sana.â
âOur coven is a bit... unconventional,â Mina nodded. âItâs just me, Nayeon, and Jihyo. You know that most covens form as children, and they train together, but we only met in college. See, none of us had our own coven, so it was natural that we came together. Momo and Sana arenât witches, or we shouldâve been together.â
You nodded in silence, prompting her to go on. And she did, a soft smile pressing her lips against her teeth as she thought about the girls eh seemed to consider her friends, or her family. âAnd, well, none of the three of us have had great luck finding someone to love. Or, to love us,â Mina added as an afterthought. âA love potion was just the first thing we fixated on.â
âFinding someone to love you?â you repeated, hand pressed up against your cheek. âI donât mean that I donât believe you, but itâs kind of hard to imagine that itâs difficult to find someone to love you. Youâre pretty great, Mina.â
She laughed, âIâm glad you think so. But thereâs a reason why we chose me as the one to test the potion with.â
âOh yeah? And whatâs that?â
Mina looked you right in the eyes, a kind of softness swirling in the brown of her own eyes, and responded equally quietly, âWe chose me because we thought I was the hardest to fall in love with.â
âBullshit,â you responded instantly, heat rising to your ears immediately after. But thankfully, the Japanese girl only looked endeared, and you continued, âI mean, I donât know if this is just the potion talking, but youâre awesome. I... I think Iâd like you even if I wasnât part of this damn experiment.â
She blushed, the hue of her cheeks matching the pink clouds in the sky. âWell, I think youâre exaggerating on that. But itâs not them, I just volunteered myself. I think people just misunderstand me, you know? Itâs hard to find the right person for you when you donât let people see you. And-- I donât even know why Iâm telling you this. On a first date, too.â
âHey.â When she looked away from you, you reached over to squeeze her hand. Mina didnât look back up to you, but you knew she was listening from the way she chewed at her bottom lip. âItâs okay. I know what youâre saying. And I canât say I know you yet, but I can say I wouldnât mind knowing you. Iâd like it, even.â
Mina laughed, barely loud enough for you to hear, and squeezed your hand. âThank you, Y/N. I think we should finish our food before it gets cold.â
âOh, yeah.â You let go to reach for one of the many desserts displayed in front of you, barely fazed by the topic change. âWouldnât want your parentsâ money to go to waste.â
âPlease let that go,â she whined.
âNot a chance,â you winked in response, laughing at her pout. âNot. A. Chance.â
âLili, I think Iâm done for.â
âLike, literally?â Lisa asked mindlessly, receiving a light hit on the head in response. âOw, what was that for?â
You whined, âThis isnât funny. I can feel myself falling, and thereâs no cushion underneath me for me to fall onto.â
The dancer rolled her eyes and reached for her milk tea. âOkay, Miss Overdramatic. You know falling doesnât work like that, no oneâs kicking you off a cliff. Especially not Myoui Mina.â
âIâm not being kicked off, Iâm sliding.â You made the motions with your hand, a despondent expression on your face as you scowled, âIâm slipping through a puddle of aphrodisiac, thatâs what, and Mina poured it at my feet.â
âOkay, enough with the metaphors, Iâm not an English major,â Lisa sighed. She tossed a chip at your face, as if being smeared with salt and oil would wake you up from your Mina-induced trance. âYouâve gone on one date with her and spoken to her approximately twice, I think you arenât falling just yet.â
âDid you forget the part where Iâm drugged to fall in love with her?â you deadpanned.
Lisa paused at that. âOkay, I did forget that. Then what? Thereâs an explanation as to why youâre feeling this way, and thereâs a way to get rid of it. Once you get your paycheck, you just stay away from Mina, should be easy enough, since you never met her before this. And you wait for the potion to wear off.â
âDoes it wear off?â you groaned into your hands.
âDid you never ask?â Lisa asked in disbelief. âWow, Y/N, ever heard of fine print?â
You smacked her with your rolled-up notes yet again. âShut up. But I have a date with her tomorrow, and I donât know what to do. Iâm feeling like this because of the potion, sure, but Iâm still feeling like this! And Mina has 6 other people vying for her now, all under the same effect as me. And it feels... bad.â
âEloquent,â your friend sighed. âThen I have the perfect solution for you. Donât go on the second date.â
âI need the money,â you shook your head. âGimme another one.â
Lisa considered it, sucked on her straw as she did, until she shook her head. âI got nothing. All I can tell you is to enjoy it while it lasts, then just... wait. And if it doesnât wear off, Jisoo unnieâs studying law.â
As horrible as her suggestions were, you could admit that you felt the slightest bit more assured. In the worst case scenario, you could sue Mina for winning your heart, and in the best, the somehow blissful stabs at your heart would be alleviated soon enough.Â
As it turned out, you got a chauffer to the fair. Not an actual one, of course-- it was just Jeongyeon, introduced as one of Minaâs friends who could actually drive.Â
You really werenât intending to talk to her at first. She was quiet, too, didnât even turn on the radio once she started driving, but when something that Mina said crossed your mind, you had to speak up. âHey, Jeongyeon. Can I ask you something? About Mina?â
âShoot,â she answered simply, keeping her eyes on the road.Â
âDo you think Minaâs hard to fall in love with?â
Jeongyeon glanced at you at that, her expression slightly quizzical. âWhat do you mean?â
âShe said something yesterday,â you explained. âMina said that they chose her for the experiment because they thought she was the hardest to fell in love with. She said-- something about being misunderstood?â
The older girl nodded in understanding at that and blew her hair out of her face. After a short pause, she sighed, âI think thatâs more of what she thinks than the rest of us. Mina... she thinks sheâs unapproachable, you know. She doesnât open up easily, so Iâm surprised she told you that at all. But... sheâs been hurt several times, and a lot of people think sheâs mean or something similarly stupid just because sheâs quiet. Thatâs all.â
âOh.â You wet your lips and looked forward to the road, where you could see the fairâs Ferris Wheel already in the distance. âI see.â
And that was that. The two of you fell back into silence, and as comfortable as it was, it only gave you more time to think about what you wanted to say.
Maybe you could see why they would choose the girl who thought of herself as unapproachable and quiet to be the test, but they also didnât seem to think about the obvious warm color to Mina that she presented. She was quiet, sure, but she was sweet, kind... there was plenty to fall in love with, and even if there wasnât magic coursing through your system, you thought that you couldâve fallen in love with her anyway.
After bidding goodbye to Jeongyeon at the entrance, you found Mina waiting for you by the fair entrance. âY/N!â she called out, though her voice still wasnât loud. You couldâve spotted her anywhere anyway, and made your way over. âYouâre a bit early.â
âYou were earlier,â you smiled. âSo. Are we ready to go in?â
âAbsolutely.â Mina linked her arm in yours slightly hesitantly and surprised the both of you, but you took it in stride and swung your arm slightly to bring a smile to her face. âIâll get our tickets, you get in line.â
âI can pay for myself,â you protested, but she waved you off. â...Okay then.â
The fair was loud, a bit too loud to hear Minaâs voice if she talked normally, so you found yourself leaning in every time she spoke. You really didnât mind it either, feeling her words tickle your ears-- maybe it was closer than you shouldâve been comfortable with, but there was a certain adrenaline pumping in your blood that you werenât really used to. So you continued on, fed cotton candy to her despite her blush, shared a soda, won a teddy bear for her. Nothing that shouldâve made your heart beat as fast as it did.
Nonetheless, time ticked by all too quickly, whirling past in a gust of quiet laughter and honestly terrible jokes. The sun set yet again, the streaks of pink and purple across powder blue oddly similar to the first date you had gone on. Mina checked her watch and frowned, âI think we only have time for one more ride before Jeongyeon comes to pick us up. What do you think?â
You barely had to ponder it before you pointed at the tall, neon-lit Ferris wheel with a smile. âClassic date ride, of course.â
âClassic,â Mina laughed in agreement. She let you tug her towards it and stood in line with you with no complaint, digging a selfie stick out from her bag. âShould we take some pictures up there? Itâd be a waste of a beautiful view if we donât.â
You shrugged, âOf course. Might as well have some pictures to remember our last date by, right?â
Mina looked caught between saying something and staying silent, but she settled with a quiet, âSureâ before starting to set her phone up. Your hand in the crook of her elbow, you tugged her forward when it was necessary, keeping your eyes away from her red-tinted lips as much as you could.
Soon enough, wind was blowing your hair off your face and the cart of the ride was creaking slightly under your weight as someone started the wheel. âWhoa,â Mina laughed breathlessly and peered over the edge. âItâs really high up.â
âAnd weâre only starting,â you agreed, tugging her back by the wrist. âDonât fall over, I donât want to get off this ride with a murder charge on my hands.â
âHm.â Mina reached over to set the selfie stick on the seat opposite the one the two of you shared, shoving you to get you to match her smile. âCome on, 1, 2, 3.â
With every click of her phone camera, you felt yourself coming closer to her, until you could feel the rise and fall of her chest beside you. You were almost at the top of the ride in barely a couple minutes, the soft sunlight almost blinding you. As you waited for the next camera click, you felt Minaâs hand creep up your arm, up, up, until her slightly cold fingers rested on your neck.Â
And then she tilted your head, fit her nose right next to yours like it belonged there, and slotted your lips together. You couldnât think, much less fight whatever force pushed you up against her. You kissed back as best as you could with your senses battling within you, until you realized that the camera shutter had gone off at least ten times.
Mina couldnât meet your eyes when you did pull back, and she reached over to fiddle with the camera. âWas that a part of the experiment too?â you questioned, your voice raspy.
âMaybe,â she answered, and your heart sank. But she looked up with a smile, her eyes just as confused as you felt. âAnd maybe not.â
âOh. Okay,â you said dumbly, then reached over for her hand. There was nothing left to say, anyway, nothing that the slight swell to your lips didnât already say for you, nothing that wasnât conveyed when you leaned over to kiss her again.
The idea of allowing a love potion to work its wonders on you was like allowing yourself to be tossed into a trap. But instead of a cold, rough, and terrible trap that you would actively try to escape, you found the trap to be warm, cozy, a place that you wanted to stay-- and a place you knew that you would eventually be ejected from by force.
Once you were in the trap, though, there was no way you could pull yourself back out, especially when you didnât really want to escape at all. You stayed up for all the nights leading up to the last time you would talk with the bio lab, just thinking about what you would do if everything that had passed by in the last couple weeks was just a figment of an aphrodisiac-induced haze. After all that time, you still didnât quite know.
But Mina texted you often enough to pull you from that stupor. Thankfully, it wasnât like one of those stories or dramas, where the main leads somehow fought after their first kiss-- maybe that wouldâve been easier than being pulled in deeper. Instead, the two of you talked every day, even if it was only for a little while, and Mina was only worsening whatever situation you couldnât seem to get out of.
And eventually, the day came where youâd be paid, a day that you had been looking forward to, until you began to dread it.
âWell, doesnât someone look like a newlywed,â Nayeon greeted at the entrance with a smile, though she didnât seem to be mocking you. âCome on in, Y/N, weâll get you started right away.â
The closet was the exact same as it had been the first time that you stepped inside for the interview, but Minaâs smile was much more warm. âHi, Y/N. Howâre you feeling?â
âGood. Fine.â You cleared your throat and attempted to peer at her clipboard. âQuestions for me?â
âYes,â Mina nodded, flipping the pages over. âAre you ready to get started, then? On a scale from one to ten, how attracted are you to me?â
âTen,â you answered without hesitation this time, and your smile only grew when Mina flushed.
âOkay. Are you considering dating anyone other than me right now?â
âNo.â You shook your head, but gulped slightly and leaned back when Mina leaned forward to observe you.
âWhat about me?â
You paused, blinked, though Mina didnât seem like she was going to move until you answered, âYes. I would date you, absolutely.â
She flicked through the pages listlessly before setting them aside and turning back to you. Somehow, Mina looked like she was about to drop a bomb on you, her lips quivering as she calculated the right words. âI... Y/N, I have to tell you something. About the experiment.â
âIâm not going to die, am I?â
Your shitty attempt at humor did manage to prompt a smile from Mina, but she remained serious. âNot that. But- do you understand control groups? In experiments?â
âUm. I think so?â you answered, racking your brain for whatever limited knowledge of science remained with you. âItâs the normal group, right? The one that isnât experimented on.â
âYes, just about,â Mina nodded. She reached for your hands and clasped them within hers, eyes pleading for you to understand something that you hadnât heard yet. âY/N, you were the control. I... we had to make sure that it was the potion working, and not me, and you- we used you for that. You were never given any potion.â
âI...â you stammered out. Every instinct in you was screaming out to pull away from Minaâs grasp, to question every aspect of your existence that had led up to you being tricked into loving her. Somehow, everything being real only made it feel more fake, even though you now knew that what you had felt was completely you. âI donât understand.â
Mina said softly, âYou fell in love with me, or at least liked me, on your own. You didnât work as a control group because the same thing happened to you as it did to the others, even though you never took the aphrodisiac.â
âSo,â you faltered, âall seven of us fell for you. Iâm just the sucker whoâs in it for real, huh?â
âI was willing to sacrifice my own feelings for the experiment,â Mina clarified, shaking her head. âI knew I would fall for one of you, but I didnât think that you, as the control, would be the one who I fell for. And who fell for me.â
Silence fell over the two of you, though you remained there, hands clasped together and eyes meeting with a clarity that speech could never capture. But you tried anyway. âOkay.â
âJust okay?â Mina questioned.
You smiled weakly as a response, âYeah. Um... how about we go on another date to talk? After you finish interrogating everyone else?â
Mina let go of your hands and let you stand up, but you could feel her smiling at your back as you closed the closet door behind you. Like a repetition of when you thought that youâd be induced into loving her, your heart beat in your throat as you leaned against the wood.Â
But when you knew it was real, when you knew that it wasnât magic seizing you by the hand and pulling you into the unknown, you smiled. Because it felt... right.

I did the work... You guys were lazy
For this salt fic, I want you all to see what happens to the class for believing Lila and her lies and leaving behind Marinette... Also Damienette ship!!
For years Marinette didnât think about her old class... Caline Bustierâs class was gone like the wind to her when she left Paris to go to Gotham for college, there were times when Alya and some of them will text her old number about demands of baked goods, dresses or new date Adrien plans... She would ignore them and at one point got rid of her phone as she was done with them, the only people she spoke to was Chloe who never believed Lila and even worked hard to be forgiven by Mari, Sabrina did so much research on Lila with Max that they too were forgiven with time, then was Alix who was visited by a furious Bunnix who showed Alix her future if she follows Lila.
Nathaniel was also someone who believe Mari, from the start he thought Lila was strange and one day with Marc spoke to Mari and has been loyal to her... Lastly was Kitty section, Luka was furious with them for listening to Lila about music and warned them about him quitting if they keep this up, after a while they heard Mari crying to Luka about what Lila did to her and they ended up leaving Lila, outside the class was of course Luka and Marc, Kagami, Aurore, Mireille, Ondine and Felix who is Adrienâs cousin, he was furious when Chloe told him about Adrienâs take the higher road line he told Mari.
Each of her friends did sadly go to different places and she only had Chloe with her in Gotham but that was fine with her, she still texted and did video calls with them so that was fine to her... And then she met Damian Wayne, the boy was cold and rarely spoke to anyone unless for a project he had to do in a team, slowly she began talking to him outside of class and that made him at some point want to speak with her about anything at all that wasnât even related to school, with time Chloe helped her with there friends to change Marinetteâs style, she went from pigtails to her hair down or in a braid, from white pink and gray to black and other kinds of colors.
She also began to wear make-up and she opened up a website for her designs, a blog so people can see tips and tricks on how to do things with clothes or how to fix something, she also took down all her previous accounts she had with the class following her and opened new accounts for her real friends to be seen with her, Damian would glare when his brotherâs would talk about a new post on her social media or on her blog while his father often commissions her for clothes, this caused for her to become famous in Gotham and Clark interview her... Making her also famous in Metropolis.
And while she was becoming famous while still in school... Her class was losing there dreams, Alya was the first one to go through this, Nadja Chamack got to interview Lois Lane who ripped into the Ladyblog by pointing out posts she made that were lies and the consequences that would have happened if certain people saw them... Leading to her blog being taken down, she with Lila got sued and Lila was exposed as the liar she was including the bonus of Lila being deported back to Italy to live with her grand-parents who were sending her to a private school.
Slowly everyone including Adrien were targeted, Adrien being found out as Lila revealed that he and Marinette were the only ones who knew she was lying from the start... He was homeschooled once again but was able to go to college, he picked one his friends were going to with the grades they had but they all glared at him... But none of them thought to apologize to Mari for bullying her and claiming her to be a liar... Not until there bank accounts were frozen because there parents received from Tom and Sabine bills for each of there kids for baked goods, clothes, babysitting that Alya and Nino put on her at the last minute for a date and anything else that they never paid back.
Thatâs when they remembered Marinette, they all began trying to call and text her... But her number wasnât available anymore as it wasnât use so they couldnât talk to her, Alya thought she was being petty while Adrien thought Mari was being selfish, with time they got back to work on what they wanted... And then they saw Mari on the news in Metropolis as an up coming designer, Gabriel Agreste saw a solution to the problem Lila brought to his work and told Adrien to try and talk to her and see if she would date him... Except Adrien didnât have her current number.
It took some time but Gabriel ended up being invited to a Wayne Gala, he took his son and instructed him to try and get Marinetteâs new number to try and then date her, Adrien was certain it would all go well and he would get her new number... Then everyone will be able to contact her and things will go back to normal for them, when they got there, Adrien began looking for Mari but saw Chloe with Damian Wayne and some girl with short hair, he decided to ignore them for now and focus on searching for Mari but couldnât find her at all.
âAdrien? Iâm surprised that your here since your father always comes aloneâ he turned to find Chloe and the girl from earlier, Damian wasnât with them now and was instead talking to some guests âHey there Chlo, my dad heard about Mari on the news and wanted to meet her and so I was just trying to find her for himâ he explained as the girl looked annoyed at him while Chloe looked disappointed âMari has been next to me from the start... You should have come over the moment you got hereâ she said as Adrien looked shocked at Marinette, her hair was now chin length, her dress was a beautiful red dress with a beautiful dragon design.
Chloe had to then walk away to speak with a guest, leaving the two alone, Adrien began trying to start a conversation but Mari simply went with short and simple answers... No going into detail of things, this was not the Marinette Dupain-Cheng he knew so he had to do something, he then began asking her if she could show him around Gotham while he was here, if she would like to have lunch with him at some point and even if she would like to dance with him... She said straight up no and didnât give him a reason as to why, still wanting her number to begin contacting her, he decided to wait until she was drinking wine before snatching her phone from her purse and adding her number to his phone and sending it to the class before putting it back into her purse.
He just had to tell her she gave it to him while she was a little drunk, it would be just fine in the end and nothing would go wrong... He was wrong, the next day, police came to arrest him for stealing her phone and sending her number to others who contacted her the whole night... He tried to defend himself but security cameraâs caught him stealing her phone and slipping it back, he was being sued and a restraining order was on him to stay away from her while she once again changed her number and ended up telling her clients about it... Gabriel was disappointed in his son for he had to go meet with her to try and fix everything... While trying to get her to agree to going on a date with his son.
She was already dating Damian though.
He found out when he saw them together, Damian had called her Angel and they kissed before he left, she refused to go on a date with his son or to remove the restraining order on his son... But Gabriel wonât give up âMake one of them hate the other, anything will do but make one of them dump the other!â he ordered his son who nodded to the demand, since Adrien couldnât get close to Mari... He had to aim for Damian, he decided to us a few pictures he took of her in the past to make Damian think she has been dragging around a bunch of guys and girls, he didnât care that Nino and Kim knew from childhood, he also didnât care that Chloe and Kagami were in a relationship with one another, he didnât care about Luka and Felixâ pride.
He was going to win this no matter what... He will make his father proud of him.
He was sent back to Paris to be put in jail there three days later, he really didnât know what went wrong, all he did was show Damian the pictures and told him a few lies about her... And next thing he knew police was at his hotel room door and took him away to get to the airport to get to Paris, what he didnât know was that Damian had seen those very pictures on Mariâs old friends and current friends social medias, so he knew he was lying from the start and called the police about it, Gabriel tried to stop them but he too was sent back to Paris for Nathalie had given the police a recording of Gabriel telling Adrien to try and get Mariâs number and have her date him.
Because of this both of there miraculous were taken, since Ladybug was now part of Batmanâs team and had warned the police about the Agreste father and son having one each, Nathalie of course gave up herâs with the info and then returned early to Paris to take care of things there... And get Lila into even more trouble as she did work with Hawkmoth all this time, even so it wasnât over, after a while in prison Adrien was released but not his father, after that Adrien saw his friends and fixed everything with them since he did get Mariâs number for them... If only for a while, so they forgave him, Adrien ended up getting the whole Agreste fortune and he then sold the mansion and the fashion company to live in an apartment.
His friends all worked hard to save up money to have a class reunion, with time everything was planned out and they got the whole class notified about it so they know when it happens and where to go at what time, they were so happy to have it happen as they couldnât wait to see everyone, when the day came they were shocked at the friends they thought were evil...
Max and Sabrina ended up getting married, it was big and hard to get into a news reporter was able to find out from Sabrina that her dress was made by Marinette herself, Kitty section ended up breaking up, Juleka was now a model for Mari while Rose became a writer, MylĂšne was now a famous actress and happily married to Ivan who was now a famous song writer, Chloe and Kagami also got married, Chloe was Marinetteâs assistant while Kagami opened up a Tsurugi fencing school in Gotham, Luka was now following Jagged Stone and becoming a famous singer and guitar player, Nathaniel become her website artist, helping her redesign her site page depending on new themes and seasons while Felix was Marinetteâs image manager.
They were all there, even Lila... But Marinette was nowhere in sight, they all tried getting answers but the gang had ignored them, Aurore, Ondine, Mireille and Marc found it funny that they would try to get answers on Mari after all this time they had bullied her, Marinette then walked in arm in arm with Damian Wayne, they looked amazing in there outfits, just like all of her friends as they too were wearing her designs, the two walked around to greet her friends and see how they were doing since the last time they had spoken together, Alya and the gang tried to talk to her but all she did was ignore them... Lila on the other hand glared at Mari.
Everything Marinette was doing and getting... Should have been her, Lila should have been the one to meet Damian Wayne, she should be the one dating him, SHE should be the one becoming famous! But no! She was found out as being dangerous, working with a villain like Hawkmoth destroyed everything she could hope for... Now she worked part-time at some little restaurant in Italy being barely paid much with the hopes of meeting some rich guy to sweep her off her feet, she looked at times towards Adrien, he may no longer be a model for his fatherâs designs but he was now modeling for an agency who knew of what he liked, disliked and wanted to work in.
Even so she was disappointed when she saw how Adrien was focused on Mari, he still wanted to be with her, he began walking towards âAgreste! You know that the restraining order is still on you! Take one more step towards Mari and I will call the cops!â Chloe shouted making the otherâs of the class look at her in shock, Restraining order? On Adrien? To not get close of sweet innocent Marinette? Chloe must be lying, so of course Alya snapped back with Nino on her side on how Adrien has a right to greet Mari, they claim heâs allowed to go see her and insist he does, Kim pushes him forward towards Mari while Sabrina calls her dad to inform him about Adrien breaking the restraining order.
He got there in just a few minutes...
âMister Agreste due to the fact that you broke the restraining order miss Marinette Dupain-Cheng placed on you after you stole her phone during a Wayne gala and then sent her number to an unknown number of people you will be coming with me to the stationâ Roger said as he cuffed Adrien and forced him to follow to his police car, Alya, Nino, Kim and Lila were in a massive shock at this... So Chloe was right, Marinette did put a restraining order on Adrien... Because they wanted her number to talk to her again since she changed it after all this time, and now here she was, changed and not allowing them to talk to her and to apologize for what they did.
The whole event ended and by morning everyone was on a plane to get back to where they live or are to be staying for work, about a week later Alya found out in the paper that Marinette was going to become a Wayne soon, she so badly wanted to report about in order to help her make it big so she with Nino got to the airport and paid for plane tickets to Gotham to speak with her, they found where she worked and begged to see her âAlya? Nino? Can I ask why your here in Gotham?â they turned to find Mari with Damian, they were just about to leave for lunch when she saw them âMari! Gurl you NEED to let me report about your wedding! This could give me a huge break and get to become a reporter again!â Alya claimed as Mari glared at her.
âWhat do you mean by again? Alya all this time, you were not a reporter... You were the owner of a tabloid that posted every single lie Lila spoke to you, and as for this big break of yours it was destroyed the second Lois spoke about the Ladyblog, try anywhere and they will reject you because Lois is the one who reveals who is a good reporter... And those who are like you... Trash under our feetâ Mari hissed and began walking with her fiancĂ© too the door until she turned to the front desk âAlissa, please get these two on the blacklist and kick them out, I donât want to see this trash by the street when I get backâ she said and walked out like this wasnât anything new for her to say.
Marinette worked hard to get to where she was... With the help of her friends and Damian... But her three remaining classmates all believed that Lila would help them skip up to the lifestyle she has now... But everyone knows you need to put the effort into things to get there.

Author's Note: Y/N - your name, A/N - any name (your best friend's name)
Warnings: Mentions of court, mentions of Jason's injuries, swearing, No beta bitch we die like Jason Todd
(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6) (Part 7) (Part 8) (Part 9) (Part 10) (Part 11) (Part 12) (Part 13) (Part 14) (Part 15) (Part 16) (Part 17) (Part 18) (Part 19) (Part 20)
Jason walked out in a few minutes, just in his boxers. She looked at him before letting out a slight laugh at the absurdity of it.
"Don't laugh, you're the one who tore my clothes."
She sighed, "And you're going to have to go home in torn boxers, Bruce is going to kill you."
"God, don't remind me," he said before sitting beside her.
She laughed, "You could just not go home?"
"I wish. But I have a life. You have a life."
"It's unfortunate, isn't it. Can't spend all day with you but you're all I want to do."
"Funny."
"Thank you, I really tried," she thought, "You remember how I seem to have a fascination with vigilantes?"
"Yes, why?"
"I remembered why. So, when I was in high school, graduating year, I had law class. I was bored, so I did law, don't question it," she laughed. "Anyway, in my law class, they split us into groups. Specifically, Pro-Justice-League-Association and Anti-Justice-League-Association."
"Pro and Anti?"
"Yeah, apparently it was relevant? I guess the JLA doesn't use conventional methods to get evidence? Don't care though. Anyway, I was on the side of Pro, obviously."
"Obviously."
"Wait I'm not done! By the end of the class, I had debated every member of the Anti team and converted them. It actually introduced me to the Robin-Forums, which is just smack dab full of conspiracies."
"Robin-Forums?"
"Oh my god? You don't know those? You're all over them. Some people are convinced you're Kid Flash, some are convinced you're Robin, it's crazy."
"That is crazy but seems funny. What about my family?"
"Someone in my class posted "Why Clark Kent is Batman: An Essay" which has like, 20k likes? It's very popular."
"Well, I swear he isn't Batman. He's just very fond of the night."
"That's what I said, but that man is convinced otherwise."
"You would know if any of us were vigilantes. We're not good at hiding secrets."
"I'm sure you have your secrets, I just find it funny people think you have time to be Kid Flash."
"People spend all their time worrying about me, when will it end?"
"Ha! That's fair. Tabloids running your name probably doesn't help the conspiracies."
"I remember one of my ex-friends from high school mentioned me being Kid Flash, I was so confused, I guess it makes sense now. I'm going to have to show everyone that. They'll get a kick out of it."
"I bet they would. I'm waiting for the day I'm on it as someone who's a hero. Hoping they say I'm Wonder Woman or something. I think it would be funny."
"You get Miss Martin because everyone thinks you're too beautiful to be human."
"Aw. That's so corny that I hate it! Well done."
"Thank you. I learned it from Dick."
"Of course you did."
"Where else would I learn it from?"
"If you're genuinely asking, the internet, probably."
"That's fair. That's completely fair. I think Dick learns a lot of his lines from the internet, honestly."
"Oh yeah, there's no way he comes up with everything on his own. No way."
"So, what other dumb stories do you have?"
"Well, I think my sister is either a vigilante or really, really, weird."
"You think your sister is a vigilante?"
"Okay so, she's a businesswoman. No big deal, right? Wrong. She's always out, more often than she has to be, she's always spending nights away from home."
"That doesn't mean anything."
"Okay well Adrianna, Aria, whatever you want to call her, she's being suspicious."
"I'm sure you're looking too far into it."
---------------------------
The Night Jason Was Stabbed.
Aria clutched the scythe in her life hand. She had failed. She had worn her best dresses that she could hide beneath her capes, she had drugged him, she had stabbed him 6 bloody times, and he had still survived!
She was angry. She walked up to the Red Hood on his time off while he was catching a drink, looking stressed. She didn't care if he accepted her offer to go to her room, she just cared about that moment. The one where she could slip in the crushed-up pills and no one would stop her.
And she had done it. She waited until after he chugged the whole drink to strike. He was stumbling around, like an idiot. She hit his head with the back of her blade, knocking him to the ground where she proceeded to stab him 6 times in his right side.
She kissed his forehead before leaving, which required her to removed her mask a bit, saying "Goodnight, sweet Prince," before running into the darkness.
But the blue one, Nightwing. He got to the Red Hood before he could die. And she was pissed. All that hard work, just for him to not even die.
The scythe was still bloodied from the Red Hood. Her lips were still warm from his forehead. But now, he had possibly seen her face! Her plans were foiled every way when of her goblins came up to her.
"Ma'am, your weapon."
She passed it over without second thought. She wanted it rid of the blood of a living man, she wanted it soaked in the blood of a dead man.
Her plague doctor mask fell a bit as she began to tear up. She had failed. She had never failed at knocking "Heroes" down a peg.
Call it crazy, but she knew the fights between her and the Red Hood were far from over. She even felt as they'd grow closer.
As she looked at the walls covered in the photos of the vigilantes of the world, she knew this was only the first battle. The war was hers. They didn't know what was going to hit them.
But there was an issue. Her sister, Y/N had become close with one of the Waynes. She needed the Waynes to get to the "Heroes" which meant possibly hurting her sister.
----------------------------------
"I hope I'm looking too far into it."
She wasn't.
One night when they were both 17, it was just Aria and Y/N in the house when Y/N was awoken by a loud crash from the downstairs window.
She went to investigate, bat in hand, to find her sister, stumbling over the coffee table. Bleeding out and clutching her side from the blood. Stabbed.
Y/N took no hesitation to take care of Aria. Stitching her up like they had as kids when Y/N would sitch up Aria after shut cut herself on skates, or if Y/N ran straight into a car.
Those images still dance in Y/N's mind to this day. Something was up with the way that her sister had a mask, a long bird-Esque plague doctor mask. A cloak. Knives. Guns. A scythe.
The best outcome would be her sister was attacked while LARPing in the park. The worst? She was a villain. Midway? A hero of the night, a vigilante. Anything was better than a villain.
If only she knew the pain Aria had caused her until this point. The fact that Aria was the one who drugged and tried to kill Jason. The pieces of the story were unravelling in front of everyone's eyes, they just needed to connect them properly.
--------------------------------
Aria had a plan. Kidnap her sister and her lover's family. Get ransom. Get them hurting. Locate the "Heroes". The only issue was that Y/N would recognise the cloak, the mask. She knew the get-up.
Aria was not about to redesign her entire outfit for the sake of not alerting her sister. She figured it would be unlikely that Y/N would focus on the cloak when she's being used for ransom money.
Or at least she hoped. She wasn't certain her plan would even work. Breaking into the Wayne Manor, after one of the kids had been stabbed, in a mugging was going to be difficult.
They had employed security, something that was never common at the Wayne Manor before this moment. She was upset. If only her sister had met the Waynes before the stabbing.
Then she thought.
Red Hood is a Wayne?
It made sense, sure. They got stabbed at the same time. But was it reasonable? She didn't know. Why would an 18-20-year-old be a vigilante? He couldn't even legally drink?
She thought it didn't make sense. That the Red Hood was never, could never be the Wayne kid. But if he was, what could that mean?
She was certain he wasn't. But the thoughts swirled in her mind as if beckoning her to come to the conclusion.
She was crazy, she knew that. She was obviously crazy, she became the villain, the opposite of her twin in every way. She was insane. Arkham would like her. But there was something about the Red Hood being a Wayne that kept coming back to her. Haunting her like the night she was stabbed by Green Arrow back in Metropolis.
She was on their radar. They knew her. They would come to get the Waynes.
She knew the Justice League Association knew of her. But the people didn't. This stunt would make the people know of her.
The name Hour will ring through the streets of Gotham. The streets of Metropolis. Smallville. Anywhere she could get her hands on. She would begin her reign of terror.
No one could stop her now.
---------------------------------
Jason had left after Bruce had called him. She assumed he needed to work or one of his siblings did a dumbass move. It was upsetting that they couldn't spend every moment together, but she knew that it was par for the course with Jason.
She was bored. She didn't have a job, her parents paid her bills if she focused on school. But she wasn't something to do, a reason to be having down days. She knew school gave her this, but it wasn't like it was every damn day.
A job would be every damn day. Hopefully. A reason to do so much in her life.
She figured she could work at Wayne Enterprises. But she didn't want to be that girl. The one who's fucking the CEO and is subsequently untouchable. You can't befriend her and talk sit, she'll tattle.
She wanted to be a normal working person. A colleague, not a boss.
Wayne Enterprises was a last resort for her. If she couldn't get hired anywhere else, she'd go apply thee. You don't fuck company property, she thought.
But she also thought fucking Wanye Enterprises "Property" was fun. and no one was really going to stop her, not even Bruce. Even though Bruce tried to lecture her and Jason, there was only so much he'd do. Barbara and Dick both worked at Wayne Enterprises and hadn't been reprimanded for that.
And obviously, they were having sex. They had been together for a while, Jason said.
Which, obviously they were having sex if they were together for that long.
She scrolled a little while for jobs, marking down a few she'd look further into. Not really anything exciting, she was still young, 1st year in college, a freshman. Not many prestigious places would hire someone her age. Especially while they're still in school.
There were only unpaid intern jobs in her field. And she wasn't about to fuck with not getting paid, even if it was her line of schooling. She didn't think it was worth it to put all of your efforts into a job that you weren't getting paid for.
A lot of kids thought her way, including her sister. Both of them grew up thinking that getting paid for work was necessary, her parents had always told them that. Even if her parents had strict religious views, they would still back her up if someone wasn't paying her, even if they fell out.
She thought if Bruce felt the same, that kids should be paid for what they do. He figured he did since he employed all of his kids once they were old enough to work at Wayne Enterprises.
She noticed Lexcorp, who had recently put up a building in Gotham, was hiring. She thought it would be funny if she went to work for her boyfriend's dad's competitor. She was tempted.
Worst comes to worst, she'd be a Lexcorp employee.
She, of course, would have to dress up for these interviews, and she had the clothes to do so, but she didn't, per se, want to wear them.
She also didn't want to go outside when trials were still raging. So, she figured she'd call Christopher's parents about getting him a lawyer and then scroll the pages for shopping. His parents finally had the time to deal with their son, because Christopher didn't want to interrupt his parents with him being an idiot.
She dialled.
"Hello?" his mom asked.
"Hey, Laura. It's Y/N."
"Y/N! Sweetheart, we've been wondering about you ever since, you know."
"Yeah, yeah. We can talk about it later I swear. So, I already told you about what Christopher did, right?"
"You did."
"He needs a lawyer, the man is pressing charges."
"Well, that's stupid. He has no right."
"Apparently he does."
"We'll get Christopher a lawyer. But how are you, darling?"
"I'm okay. Could be a hell of a lot better. I have faith in the court system."
"We're all worried about you, kiddo. You've wrapped yourself up in a lot of a mess recently."
"I know. It's weird. But I swear I'm strong enough to pull through, you've known me for what, 13 years? Give or take? I know how to handle myself."
"That doesn't mean we can't worry."
"I know, new city, new people. I swear behind the scandals I'm in that I actually have friends."
"I assume we'll meet this Jason eventually?"
"Eventually. We need to find the time between court dates, work. Adulting."
"You don't have a job?"
"Jason does. And I'm thinking about getting one to pass the time."
"Working to pass the time is a new thing, fascinating, you kids are."
"Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done, I know."
"Those sound like song lyrics."
"Sometimes songs are the best way to get all your thoughts compiled into one place, you know. I starred as Katherine Howard, Laura. I know how to convey emotion through art."
"I know. That's still one of the performances Metropolis holds on to, you know."
"I wish they didn't. But it is what it is."
"It's a good performance, kiddo."
She laughed, "Anyway. You get onto that lawyer. Christopher needs it right now."
"I will. Be safe. We love you."
"I love you lot."
Click. She thought about Christopher, and the bullshit he went through to save her.
She brushed the thoughts off and pulled out her journal. Scribbling down her sister's bird mask. She couldn't get that off of her mind. She could have sworn her sister made the thing out of actual bone.
It was like she threw a steampunk aesthetic into a plague doctor. She was certain there was more to it that she didn't know.

hi !! do you have any advice on how to improve/grow your yoga practice ? rn I'm mainly doing yoga by watching yoga with Adrienne but I feel stuck ? ig i want to try new things and push myself more but I'm a little bit lost on how to do it. so if you have any advice, that would be great !! thank you â€ïž
yes i absolutely have some advice!!!! sorry this ended up being kind of long lol
i think adriene is great, but she does stay within a kind of limited range & style of movement which can get boring & uninspired after a while. what i did at the beginning of covid when i was trying to form a home practice was skim a lot of other youtube yoga classes for ideas & take screen recordings of things i wanted to try later. i hate to recommend anyone venture into the instagram yoga world, but i did that on instagram as well lol. it is definitely possible to find people on instagram who have reasonable, normal yoga practices and don't just do crazy inversions and stuff, and i've definitely drawn a lot of inspiration from them this past year. if you're into following videos, maybe find a yoga instructor you like who has a paid app or service and try that (i don't really enjoy following videos so i wasted some money doing this, but everyone is different!!). i understand because of covid or other reasons this might not be possible for you (right now at least), but truly nothing is better in my opinion than an in person yoga class. if that's accessible & safe for you, i would really recommend it!!! if not, check to see if your local yoga studios have any video classes on their website. they often will be better than what you can find on youtube
also, listen to your body & move in whatever ways feel good!! it doesn't have to be in a sequence & doesn't have to be an actual asana, just stretch & move around your mat & figure out what feels good. closing your eyes & breathing through different parts of your body will help you with this. just learning to move intuitively in ways that work for you will really open up your yoga practice in a big way.
i use a progress tracker app (the one i use is called done if anyone is interested) & having a way to track my practices was super motivating to me, and it might be for you as well!! setting a small goal for yourself could be very helpful (but don't put too much pressure on it either). for me when i started using the app i didn't necessarily have a specific goal in mind, but it did force me to get on the mat every single day even on low energy days or days when my mental health wasn't great, and i learned how to move & care for myself in those moments & i wouldn't have done that if i hadn't made myself practice every day. for me at least, i was only really motivated to practice on days where i had high energy & was in a really good mood, and i think having a steady home practice means you have to get on the mat more than just when you feel like it (especially bc when you DON'T feel like it is probably when it will help you the most). also, getting a nice non-slippery mat was a game changer for me
try keeping a yoga journal!! this is something i've personally failed at (but i do keep trying at least), but maybe try keeping a journal near your mat to just write about how you felt during practice, how you feel after, anything new you tried, emotions or feelings that came up in your practice, etc etc. if you aren't already meditating, trying some meditation can really help you connect with your body, especially body scanning meditation & breathwork meditations. incorporating breathwork into your yoga practice also will help with that.
my favorite thing about home practice personally is how playful they can be!! your time on the mat should be fun. for me personally that means putting on music & dancing/singing to it while i flow. it also means that when i fall out of balances or other poses i'm not strong at, i laugh about it & keep going. having a practice that's playful & fun & joyful is like, the whole point!!
if you're comfortable with it, take some videos from time to time!! this is helpful partially to check your form & alignment & making sure you're doing things safely, but partially bc it's so cool to be able to physically see all the progress you've made!! i found that super super motivating to keep practicing.
i hope this was helpful, best of luck to you!!! đđđ

Words: 3.670
Summary: Planning to train the whole day doesnÂŽt sit well with Jungkook, especially if he gets easily distracted. (Not gonna lie, this is kind of a filler chapter, because I wanted to give a bit more detail to JKÂŽs and readers realationship)
A/N: Next Chapter weÂŽll have the next member appear, share your guesses?!
Previous / NextÂ
Chapter two
âAnd do you know where I want you? On your kneesâ
Taglist: @imezzâ @anxietylovesmeâ @holaaafâ @ot7purpleâÂ
(Not my gif)
One year ago ( Jungkook 21 / Reader 20)
 "Stop cheating!", you exclaimed, looking giggling through the mirror, watching Jungkook trying to warm up with you.
This morning he had insisted to try to warm up with you, but he quickly realised, that a ballet warm up looks a lot different than a normal gym warm up.
You were standing and bending down trying to reach your toes.
 Jungkook, being the good boyfriend he is, said he had to watch you do it first, so he'd know how to do it. Naively, you believed him, continuing with your warm up, not noticing that Jungkook didn't participate until you looked up to change the exercise.
"I'm not cheating, I'm practising my patience", he smirked, "You don't know how much patience and will it takes me to not take you right here. Seeing you so nicely bend over for me"
You felt the blood rush into your face, standing up straight to look up to him.
"Don't distract me", you whined, shuddering as his hands roamed over your body, setting on your behind. "I didn't get to train yesterday either", you pouted, remembering the way he didn't even let you leave the bed yesterday.
His grip tightened around your waist, one hand left to bring down a harsh slap on your ass, making you whimper.
"But I'm pretty sure you still owe me two free days, seeing as you trained three weeks non-stop."
You looked away, not wanting to see his smirk, as you realised he was right.
The last years had been rough, but better because of Jungkook.
 After hearing about your parentsâ death you didn't know what to do. You were underage with no family, you couldn't live alone.
The lawyer came the next day and had even brought his hybrid, claiming that maybe the hybrid would have a calming effect on you.
After smelling the hybrid Jungkook came stomping out of the room he was hiding in, saying if someone would calm you it was him.
The lawyer had asked you if Jungkook was your hybrid and you admitted that he wasn't. The both of you feared that Jungkook would now be taken to a shelter, but were surprised when the lawyer asked you if you wanted him to be.
You and Jungkook were speechless, Jungkook becoming your hybrid?! You nodded your head rapidly and you could swear Jungkooks eyes were becoming teary.
After that the lawyer asked if you had anyone who could be your guardian and you immediately thought of your nanny and cook.
Unsurprisingly both of the asked adults didn't even need to be convinced. But seeing as they both had their own families and didn't want to move into your house and you didn't want to intrude in their lives, you came to the decision that you would stay in the house on your own and the staff would just come to work like they used to.
Money was a bit trickier; till you were legal your guardians would be in control of the money your parent left you. It was a huge sum and you were grateful, that even though your parents seemed to be travelling a lot they still managed to save up just as much, if not more.
 You and Jungkook should never have trouble with money, even of the staff was paid and bought the food from the same sum.
Now you were 20, last year you got your first credit card.
Hybrid laws were also changed in the last years, allowing them access to education (though not in public school) and even own money, so you also got a card for Jungkook with access to your money.
He started to be home-schooled with you, though he had to start first on the basics like reading and writing. But since its Jungkook, everything he set in his mind he achieved.
 You were planning to stay in Busan till you finished your school, maybe then moving to Seoul. After talking about it with Jungkook a plan was easy made.
You'd finish school here and move to Seoul, you weren't sure though if you'd want to sell your home. Jungkook told you that, if you could afford to keep it, you should keep it.
 Living with Jungkook was one of the best things to ever happen to you, he helped you to get over your parents death in a way no one else could. It had been hard, you couldn't eat and sleep, barley functioning.
It had been Jungkook who fed you when none of the staff could talk you into eating.
He was staying with you in your room, holding you while you were crying and mourning. True, the relationship to your parents was rough, them never being around and pressuring you. But they were still your parents and now they were dead.
 "Kookie, please. Just an hour or so", you begged, it was true, you were training a lot, but you had a performance in a few days and saying you were nervous was an understatement. It was the first time you were dancing in a competition in the age class adult. The people you were competing against were probably a whole lot older than you. âI think you trained quiet a lot the last weeks. A few days rest would help you gain some more energyâ Jungkook said frowning.
âI need the practice, I know you donÂŽt like it, but they all have more experience than me. How am I supposed to keep up with them? I have enough energy, I just need to get the choreography right. There are still so many parts that arenÂŽt perfect, did you see my last few turns? If I donÂŽt work on them I donÂŽt even need to show up to the competition. Also, why would you even let me warm up if you donÂŽt want me to practice?â, you were starting to rant, but you couldnÂŽt stop yourself now, hands wildly moving you started to realise how many flaws your dance still had.
Jungkooks hand came up to your face, holding your chin tightly, making you look up and stop your movement. His gaze made you freeze immediately.
Never had you thought that your poor bunny would be so dominant and you never thought you would be so submissive. Though Jungkook told you it was pretty clear from the beginning that even though you are the human, you weren't really in control. You didn't know if you should have been offended, but you couldn't find it in you. You had just scoffed, saying, that if you really wanted to be in charge you could, but saying it felt like lying and your boyfriend just laughed.
There was no other person that you trusted like him, so you didn't mind letting him take control, it kinda took away a lot of your anxiety and stress and you saw that Jungkook was enjoying it too. Finally being able to have some control after living on the streets for years and not being able to control his own destiny.
You were looking up to him, hoping he would at least give you an hour.
He chuckled at your try to convince him.
"You know I don't like you training too much. You're going to overwork yourself again", his tone was calm, but firm, you tried to avoid his gaze, but he still held your chin, not letting you look away.
"Just an hour, please Kookie. Just for my peace of mind. So I won't feel bad"
 You could see him thinking, he was avoiding your eyes, knowing he would give in as soon as he looked at you.
Jungkook groaned, "You get one hour of normal training. Don't even think about pushing more than usual or I'll make you sit on that couch for the rest of the week. And I'm watching."
Knowing it wouldnÂŽt be smart to argue you nodded, hugging him tight. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." He rolled his eyes and sat down. Â Â Â
You started training, the moves just so flowing out of you, you didnÂŽt even need to think about it. Dancing was the only thing in your life that was constantly there, before you had Jungkook, you had dance. While your parents had always pressured you to do better and told you to take part in competitions, you had still kept your love for ballet. Now dancing felt like the most natural thing to you, that doesnÂŽt mean there werenÂŽt moments where you wanted to quit.
You remember first starting to dance on pointe and how your toes kept hurting even days after. You couldnÂŽt imagine continuing dancing like that, where was the fun in doing it when it was hurting you while doing it. You remember your mother screaming at you when you told her; you didnât want to dance anymore. She was telling you how ungrateful you were being, claiming that you shouldnÂŽt stop the only thing you were good at/for just because you were weak.
But you also remember Jungkook comforting you when you were crying to him that day, you almost expected him to tell you to quit, because you were crying so much. You knew he didnÂŽt like seeing you sad or hurt, so it would only make sense for him to tell you to stop, but he didnÂŽt. Instead he told you, that dancing was your passion and you shouldnÂŽt stop just because you hit a rough patch.
âIt may be hurting now, but imagine how youÂŽll be feeling once you can dance absolutely free. YouÂŽll be able to do anything you like. DonÂŽt you think that pain will be worth it in the end?â Your first reaction to his speech was a snort, no eleven year old boy could talk like that, you were convinced he heard something along the lines before somewhere and decided to recite that to you. But then you saw the serious look on his face and understood that he knew what he said and he meant it. You went to bed that day thinking about his words, you couldnÂŽt really imagine how it would feel to dance without pain again, you didnÂŽt think that would be possible again. Then the words Jungkook spoke hit you, you wanted to know how it would feel, you wanted to dance.
Thinking back on it now, you realised how stupid you were for even thinking about stopping dancing, but thatÂŽs why you were also so thankful for the bunny. You didnÂŽt know how you would have decided without him, maybe you would have continued for your mother and grew to hate it, maybe you would have stopped and suffered the wrath of your mother.
Arms snaked around your torso, stopping your movement; you felt a hand brush your cheek. âWhy are you crying?â Jungkook asked softly. You didnÂŽt realise you were crying, you held eye contact through the mirror, cupping his hand with your smaller one and leant back on him. The two of you were just swaying comfortably to the music in the background.
âI just thought about how thankful IÂŽm for youâ you said quietly, knowing your boyfriend will hear you anyway. âYou are pretty amazing, you know?â
Jungkook grinned before firing tiny kisses to your cheek and jaw, âI know IÂŽm great, but donÂŽt forget that you made me this great.â You shook your head, âYou did that by yourself, I just let you be.â
The song faded out, but the two of you stayed this close, still swaying with no real rhythm. âYou know, I looked at some houses in Seoul. I think there are some youÂŽd really likeâ Jungkook mumbled into your hair, before pressing a kiss to the crown of your head. You hummed before finally turning around to face him, âBut Kookie, we still have to finish the school year here, before we can go and move out.â
You were a bit confused why he would already worry about your new place; you still had to finish your last year of home schooling. âI know, but I thought, that we could maybe start looking around a bit, also, your school year has like eight months left, which isnÂŽt a year, if IÂŽm correctâ
Jungkook looked smug as he realised, you couldnÂŽt really say anything against that, you shook your head and rolled your eyes, âWhateverâ You tried to wiggle out of his grip, but the way to strong bunny didnÂŽt let you move an inch.
Instead he gripped your chin tightly, âDid you just roll your eyes at me?â he asked in a low tone, sending shivers down your spine. When you first started dating Jungkook showed already, that he didnÂŽt accept certain behaviours and he had no problem to put you in your place should you forget. After you helped him with his first rut he only got more demanding, but you didnÂŽt mind.
You loved to see him so confident and sure of himself and he loved to see you trusting him so much to let him be. You knew he loved being in charge and having power and he knew you loved feeling small and being taken care of, in a way you could say, that your childhood made you what you are today.
âIÂŽm sorryâ, you whimper out, not wanting to meet his stern gaze, silently cursing yourself. You knew that there was a good chance he would punish you, he already punished you for less, and while you loved it and the pleasure it brought, you loved being good for him. You wanted to be praised, be his good girl, the way he would praise you and tell you how good you were being for him always managed to make your heart flutter.
âLook at meâ the dominance in his voice alone would have made you crumble to your knees immediately, if it hadnÂŽt been for his grip on your jaw. âDid we forget how to behave now?â he spoke in a condescending tone that made your thighs clench. âFirst you train too much, then you dare to talk back to me, wanting to train even more, overworking yourself again. And now you roll your eyes at me and canÂŽt even look at me. What am I gonna do with you, you brat?â
âIÂŽm sorry Kookie, I really amâ, you whine, hands softly gripping onto his arm. Jungkooks eyes soften for a short bit, before turning hard again. âI believe you are, baby girl. I know how much you love to be good for me, but sorry isnÂŽt going to cut it this time. I think you need to be reminded where your place is. Tell me little girl, do you know where your place is?â
You shuddered, finally looking up to him through your lashes, already knowing what he wanted to hear, Jungkook watched with hungry eyes as you spoke, âWherever you want it to be, Kookie. My place is wherever you want me.â Your boyfriend hummed in agreement, âAnd do you know where I want you? On your kneesâ
Without having to be told twice you sank to your knees, hands already on the zipper of his pants and Jungkook didnÂŽt stop you, as you pulled his hard member out.
âThatÂŽs right, my baby already knows what I want from her. Trained her so good, so obedient for me. Go on little dancer, take it in your mouth. If you do good maybe IÂŽll let you cum todayâ
With new motivation you took the head of his member in your mouth, before flattening your tounge against his the underside of his dick. You kitten licked him a few times, but started taking him all in after he growled at you not to tease him. You began to steady bob your head up and down and Jungkooks groaning from above you told you, you did everything right. A hand came down to your hair and he started to control the pace, making you gag as his dick hit the back of your throat.
âThatÂŽs right little dancer, taking me so well, looking so pretty while you choke on my dick.â Â
Jungkook watched you with hooded eyes, your hands tightly gripped the back of his thighs, tears leaking your eyes and the only sound to be heard were Jungkooks quiet groans. Â âAh fuck baby girl, if we keep going like that IÂŽm gonna cumâ he moaned and you brought your hands to his balls, trying to make him cum, especially after tasting his pre cum on your tounge.
But Jungkook had other plans, he pulled you off his dick making you stand up. âThatÂŽs not where IÂŽm cuming in baby girl. Up to the mirror, hands against itâ Before he even finished talking you were already in motion. Bend over, hands pressed against the mirror. You felt Jungkook standing behind you, big hands roaming over your back till they came to rest on your hips.
âAlways so responsive for me, good girlâ he praised knowing itÂŽs what youÂŽve been dying to hear. His feet kicked softly against your ankles, making you widen your stance, before he hooked his fingers under your shorts, pulling them down along with your panties.
You whimper as the cool air hit your core, you arched your back, hoping Jungkook would get the hint to finally fuck you. You felt finger tips brushing down your spine till they came to a stop at your core. Whining you tried to push back, wanting Jungkook to touch you where you needed him most, but as he picked up on your neediness he chuckled, his one hand on your hips limiting your movements. âIf thereÂŽs something my little dancer wants, she should just speak upâ
You looked at him through the mirror, hoping your pout would make him soften up and just give you what you want. He caught your pout and smirked, one finger stroking painfully slow over your clit, making your legs tremble. âIs there something you want me to do? You are so wet, I bet thereÂŽs something you want. Speak up baby girl, you were so good at talking back earlierâ
You whined at the thought of having to voice your wishes, but your whine was quickly replaced by a groan, as you felt his finger leaving your clit. Gone was the only stimulation you had gotten so far.
âNo no no, Kookie. I want you to fuck meâ you exclaimed loudly. You looked at Jungkook through the mirror, his face darkening and you realised, you may have forgotten something. Before you could talk again, a harsh slap came down to your ass, followed by the next. You first yelled out, but quickly started to find the pleasure in the sting. âDid you lose your manners? Is that how you talk to me? I thought you were my good girl?â he asked, not stopping spanking you and you couldnÂŽt control your cries anymore. You could feel how wet you were and you needed him, now.
âIÂŽm sorry, Kookie. Please, please fuck me. I promise IÂŽll be good. But please I need you to fuck meâ, you begged and almost let out a sob as you felt his thick member slowly pushing into you. âYes, yes, please- fuck Kookieâ you rambled as he completely entered you, not giving you much time to adjust and starting off in a fast pace. Jungkooks hands both found your waist, holding you as he fucked into you. The only sound to be heard was the sound of slapping skin and yours and Jungkooks moans. You threw you head back, letting Jungkook lean forward to leave his marks all over your neck. One of his hands snaked their way between your legs, finding your clit and helping the knot in your lower stomach build.
âLook at what a good girl you can be if you want. Begging like a good girl, letting me mark you up, so everyone knows you are mine- fuck such a good girlâ Jungkook moaned making your head loll in bliss. You felt your orgasm approaching, your pussy clenching around Jungkooks length. âFuck! Keep clenching like that. Are you close, you wanna cum on my dick? Letting me pump you full of my load, yeah?â
âF-fuck, please Kookie. I wanna cum, please, can I cum? Please I-Iâ you were babbling by know, the pleasure coming from Jungkook combined with his dominant aura was clouding your senses. He chuckled and moaned as he also felt his dick twitch, âLook at you being my good girl and asking. Cum for me.â
At his words you felt white pleasure run over you, you came moaning Jungkoooks name, head falling forwards. Your legs felt like they might give up if it wasnÂŽt for Jungkook holding you. Jungkooks thrustâs starting becoming sloppy, letting you know, that he was also close as he continued to fuck you.
Your pussy clenched around him, causing Jungkook to also finally cum, his finger dung into the flesh of your hips, no doubt leaving more marks. He moaned out your name, along with a few cuss words, before stilling. The sound of your heavy breathing filled the room.
Slowly he pulled himself out and turned you around, so you were standing chest to chest, you both still fully clothed above your hips. Jungkook pulled you into a sweet kiss, âMy good girl, you did so well for me. I love youâ You melted at his words, but the sweet moment was ruined as you felt his warm cum running down your leg. Jungkook noticed and swept you up in his arms, âLetÂŽs get you cleaned up. How about a bath and then a movie?â
You nodded and relaxed in his arms, you pressed a sweet kiss to his neck and murmured a quiet âI love you Kookieâ, but by the tightening of his grip and the smile on his face you knew that he heard you just fine.

Teach Me Something
I am slowly but surely making my way through the requests that I have and I am sorry that I suck at writing them, but here this is. Also, ignore the fact that this canât actually happen how I have it set up, but I started writing the beginning and really liked it and then looked up more information about the Stampede and didnât want to change it (donât judge me).
Thank you, thank you, thank you to @luvsherleafsâ for reading through this and helping me figure this out, you are an absolute angel human and I appreciate you.
Here is the original request! Hope you like this!
EDIT: Read the other parts:Â part 2 // part 3 // part 4
__________________
âAlright, I need you guys to start cleaning up, the bell is going to ring in five minutes! Beakers in the cabinets, lab goggles away, paper towels in the garbage. Lab calculations are due at the start of tomorrowâs class, and you have your nuclear quiz when?â you yell to your students as they finish up their lab.
âWednesday,â some of your students answer.
âCooper and Eugenie, when is the quiz?â you say louder, trying to get two of your students to stop distracting each other.
âWednesday,â they chorus, the rest of their classmates running around the room trying to get everything away.Â
âThatâs right!â you say with a smile, trying to keep your teacher face on for the last few minutes. It was the end of the day, and you had to get home and change before you went over the Stampede for the show that night. What sucked, was that instead of doing just a July week of shows, they decided it would be fun to do a preview night for some groups in March in some tent instead of outdoors like normal, overlapping with your school year.Â
The bell rings, your students scrambling to get out the door. âBye, guys, see you tomorrow,â you say as they scurry out, saying things like âthank you, bye Ms. Y/L/I, see you tomorrow.â You sit down at your desk, letting out a long sigh as the sound of students in the hallway gets louder from chatter, lockers, and overall high school chaos. Going through your lesson for tomorrow, you get lost in typing out your plan that the administration wanted to see, finishing the worksheets that you needed to print, and figuring out what other prep you needed to do before leaving for the day.Â
You lean back in your desk chair, debating whether or not you should send the worksheets to the printer now and make the 100 or so copies you needed, or come in and do it during your prep that you had first period tomorrow. âHey Ms. Y/L/N, any chance you could tell me about capillary action?â you heard a familiar voice say from the doorway.Â
âConsidering you learn about that in Biology and I teach Chemistry, I would say no,â you laugh, getting up to go greet your boyfriend, closing the door behind him as he steals your desk chair. âThe US education system failed you, didnât it?â
âWell, itâs not like I paid attention in science anyway,â he shrugs, âBut what are you doing tonight?â
âIâm out tonight,â you say. You and Matthew had only been dating for about two months, and you still hadnât brought up that you were one of the dancers with the Stampede. You didnât know why; it just never came up. âWhy, what did you have in mind?â
âThe guys and I were going to go out for some Flames promotion thing, I wanted you to come.â
âIf you guys go out after ten, I can try to catch up with you, but I also need sleep with school tomorrow,â you say as he pouts. You also needed more money, but that wasnât something you were about to tell him. You ruffle his curly hair, him swatting your hands away as the pout turns to a smile. âYou can come and make copies with me if you want. You have to wait to leave right now anyway, the buses are still outside,â you tell him, sending the documents to the printer down the hall.Â
âDo I get to press the buttons?â he asks like a child, getting up to follow you down the hall.
You start walking, the sound of your heels echoing through the hallway as Matthew trails behind you, some of the students trying to figure out what he was doing in their school in the first place, him not knowing where he was going with you. âNo, the thing is ancient and I donât trust you not to break the one copier on this floor because then Iâm the one whoâs responsible for fixing it.â He starts to pout again, following you into the room with the copier. âOk, then do you want to fix it when it stops working?âÂ
âThat would end well for no one,â he says, looking down at his shoes.Â
You canât help but laugh as you go to start making the first set of copies that you needed. You sit down at the table in the center of the room, taking Matthews fidgeting hands in yours. âSo, how did you even get into the school, to begin with? I didnât know you were coming to tell the office.â
âYouâd be amazed by what you can do when youâre a professional athlete. I just said I was visiting you and they told me I could go once the bell rang,â he shrugs.Â
âThat is an issue on so many levels,â you say, him just smiling and kissing the back of your hand.Â
âEh, well. Are you sure you canât come out with us tonight? The guys love you and I think youâd have a really good time tonight.âÂ
You hear the copier stop, groaning as you get up to make the next batch. You could have just queued them all up at once, but that would make the copier angry. âWhat are you guys doing?âÂ
âItâs Flames night at the Stampede, so a bunch of us are going.âÂ
You stop what youâre entering into the copier, thankful that your back is facing Matthew. You should just tell him you were going to be there tonight, too. If you told him you were going to be there with other friends from work, that wouldnât be a lie. Why werenât you telling him in the first place? Maybe it was because you were slightly upset that you had to have two jobs just to make ends meet while he was living a life of luxury on one paycheck. But at least both jobs were ones that you loved, so that made things a little better. âOh, cool. Iâve never seen one of the shows there, actually,â was all you could get out. That wasnât totally a lie; you couldnât see the show when you were in it.
âSee, more of a reason why you should come out with us tonight!âÂ
âI said maybe. Thatâs not a no. Now come on, I need to get home,â you hand him the stacks of paper to bring back to your classroom.
âCan we at least do something tomorrow night?â he pleads, putting the papers down on your desk.Â
âI need one copy of these in the yellow and orange folders and one copy of this one in the pink folders, and one copy of this in the blue folders,â you instruct him while you check to see if you have another rehearsal or anything that you need to be at tomorrow night. âBut what do you want to do tomorrow night?âÂ
âUh, well, I was planning on getting in an early workout with Noah and Johnny the next morning since we have a late flight to Colorado so nothing that involves anything late,â he says, trying to concentrate on putting one piece of paper into each folder. âWhy do you do this again?â
âNothing late is the best, so Iâm down for whatever.â That also, hopefully, meant that it was something that involved little to no money being spent, âAnd it helps me know who is missing that day or just didnât take their papers and it helps them make sure they get their papers. I put them out before each class and they take them when they walk in.â He just shrugs, not completely understanding the method to your madness, but it worked for you and your students, so who cared? âHow much time do you have before you have to meet the guys?â You ask him, even though you really donât have time yourself.Â
âI gotta run; this was the only time I had to see you, so I wanted to come by,â he says, putting the folders in neat piles, handing them to you.Â
âThatâs so sweet. I feel like we havenât gotten to see each other a lot lately, with the season picking up and all.â You put the folders on one of the counters in your room, dropping the two on the top.
As you bend down to pick them up, you hear Matthew exhale, âIs it bad that all I can think of is picking you up and doing some very bad things to you on that counter?â
You turn around, pretending to be disgusted. âMatthew! The students leave their water bottles here!â you squeal, thankful that your classroom door was closed since students were still roaming the halls. âThat might be something we can do tomorrow night, just not on this counter.â You pack your computer in your bag, grabbing that, your keys, and Matthewâs hand to drag him out of the school before he says anything else that shouldnât be said around children.Â
âCan I at least kiss you in the parking lot?â he whines.
âNope, my spot and therefore my car faces the track, some of my advanced kids are on the track team and I do not need them bringing up my romantic rendezvous with my boyfriend in class tomorrow and for the rest of the year. But where are you parked?â
âI ubered. Can I get a ride?â he says, giving you the puppy dog eyes that always made you say yes to him.
âGet in, pain in the ass.â You drive him home, the entire drive spent with him constantly begging you to go upstairs with him, but you really did have to get home and change. âIâll see you tomorrow. Your place or mine?âÂ
âYour pick, just text me when you decide,â he says, leaning over to give you a kiss. âWait, are we far enough away from the school for you to kiss me now?â he teases, ghosting your lips as a mischievous smile dancing across his face.Â
âShut up and kiss me,â you say, taking his face in your hands, kissing him instead.Â
âAre you sure you canât come upstairs for just a minute?â he begs once he pulls away, his forehead against yours.
You wanted to, but he did say he had to run and you definitely had to get home and change. Looking at the clock out of the corner of your eye, you had about an hour to get home, get ready, and get over to the grounds before the parking was so full that walking from your car to the grounds would be considered your warm-up. âIâve really got to go,â you say.
âFine. Iâll see you tomorrow, though,â he says, giving you another quick kiss before getting out of your car.Â
âYeah, bye,â you call as he runs inside. You did have to tell him eventually that you had another job, but he was going to find out tonight anyway. Would he be mad that you kept something like this from him, especially when he told you that he was going to be there tonight and you stood there and didnât say anything?Â
You spend your entire drive home freaking out a little. This is a pretty big part of your life that you hid from him, especially since dancing has been part of your life for as long as you could remember, but you just couldnât figure out how to tell him you needed a second job to live. What if he hates you because youâve been keeping part of your life a secret from him? No, he couldnât hate you, could he? Not for something like this. In all your freaking out, you completely mess up your makeup. Frustrated and in a hurry, you now had to completely redo your face in what would be record time, or be late enough that you risked walking a mile from your car.
You restart your makeup, deciding that you were going to do as little as possible, only to be distracted by your friend Rory's face popping up on your phone with an incoming call. âSo is your hunky boyfriend going to be at this thing tonight?â
âHello to you, too. And yeah he told me he was coming.â
âSo he knows youâre going to be there?âÂ
You hear her drop something on her end, which is perfect since it gives you time to avoid her question, pretend not to hear it as your finish your face and try to run out the door. âSorry, Ror, didnât catch that, Iâm running out the door to my car,â you tell her.Â
âThat translates to: no, I didnât tell him.âÂ
âWell, heâs not stupid, heâll be able to figure out itâs me when he sees my face. Itâs not like I look that different when I have makeup on.âÂ
âYou could call him and tell him right now.â
âNope. Heâll find out when he gets there if he even notices.â
âAlright, love. Just make sure you find me after he freaks out,â she says, hanging up. He wouldnât freak out, right? Itâs not like you were lying per se, you were just not telling him the truth of things. He might be a little mad about not telling him exactly where you were going tonight, but none of what you told him was wrong: you were out with people you worked with. You just didnât say you were going to actually be at work.Â
You spend your entire ride trying to justify to yourself why you shouldnât be freaking out over tonight, which then inadvertently caused you to freak out anyway. After parking what felt like a mile away and pretty much running to the room where you got ready, Rory is standing at the door, waiting for you.Â
âCome here, Iâm finishing your makeup.â
âI finished my makeup!â you protest as she takes you by the hand and drags you in front of a mirror.
âIf your boyfriend is coming tonight, then you need to look better than that.âÂ
âHe came to my classroom earlier and I almost never wear makeup to school. I look fine.âÂ
âEyes closed,â she instructs. You do as she says. You can hear the crowd coming in to watch the show that you were about to put on for them. You were in the opening act, one in the middle, and then the end, so you had plenty of downtime to worry, pace, and freakout, while trying to remember your routine and get a headstart on your lessons for next week. âI donât understand why youâve spent this entire time dancing here with us and then dating him for what, two months now? And he still doesnât know that much about you? Like I understand keeping mystery in the relationship to keep everything exciting, but this seems like basic information that should have been shared. Itâs not like youâre doing something illegal.â
âIf my eyes were open, Iâd be rolling them at you,â you mutter. You didnât need a lecture from her about this. You were already well aware of the fact that this was something you should have told him, but what could you do about it now?
âIâm just saying,â she starts again.
âYes, I know, I know. You have been just saying since I first showed you his picture.â Thankfully, she stops talking, finishing your makeup in less time than you thought it would take. You can hear your phone buzzing in your bag, Matthewâs face lighting up your screen. âHey, whatâs up?â you ask, trying to change while also holding the phone to your ear.Â
âJust wanted to say hi before the show started,â you hear him say, the guys screaming in his ear about him already being whipped. âShut up,â he yells at them. âI thought I saw your car in the lot, though. Did you and your friends end up coming here or something?âÂ
Shit. You hear someone calling that it was almost time for the show, everyone needing to get ready to be in their place as you struggle to get your other shoe on. âFuck, sorry, I have to go. Iâll talk to you later, bye!â you spit out, hanging up before he can say anything else.Â
âReady to be exposed?â Rory asks, getting next to you with the lights out.
âThatâs what she said,â you slip in, the music and lights coming on, blinding you instantly as you went into the routine like it was something you were born to do. At one point in the routine, youâre off to the side, out of the spotlight and giving your vision enough time to see the audience, make out their faces and see who was paying attention and who was on their phone and trying to hide you. You glance to the left, seeing a sea of red, each man wearing the familiar C logo that you were suddenly mortified to see. You spotted Matthewâs curls instantly, thankful that you werenât able to tell if he could see you or not since you had to go back under the light, erasing the outside world from you.Â
The routine ends, you running back to where you get ready to see your phone lighting up with texts from Matthew.
Hey, what the hell?
Anything you need to tell me?
Iâm going to be by your car once this is over.Â
Fuck, fuck, fuck. He was mad. He was breaking up with you. This was it; your best relationship was over before it really got started. You should have just told him. Why didnât you tell him? âDid he see you?â Rory asks, breaking you out of the trance you forced yourself into.Â
âYep, and heâs mad. After tonight Iâm going to be single again, so thatâs fun.â
âWell, Ryanâs had a crush on you since you started here, so thereâs always him.â
âRory!â you yell, trying to tell her sheâs not helping without actually saying so.Â
âAre you going to be ok to go on?â she asks, sitting you down on the floor with her.Â
âI donât know. I just want to talk to Matthew,â you admit. You can feel yourself start to cry, the commotion of everything around you muted as she just looked at you.
âHey,â she says, putting her hand on your knee, âWhy didnât you tell him?â
You take in a deep breath, shaking your head because of how dumb the real reason is. âDo you know what itâs like to date someone who makes so much money that he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants financially? Iâm not mad about it, itâs just difficult when I have to work two jobs to make ends meet and thatâs just not something he has to worry about. He always wants to go out with the guys and begs me to come but then Iâm sitting there with like, ten dollars to my name meanwhile all of he and all of his friends can buy the bar if they wanted to and still have enough money to jet off to Australia or somewhere.â
âIf he really likes you, then that kind of stuff shouldnât matter. His first clue that you didnât have a lot of money should have been when he found out you were a teacher.â You shoot her a look, âOk, ok, but you know Iâm right. From what youâve told me, he just wants you to be happy. Go talk to him.â
âBut the show?âÂ
âIâll find your partner and tell him not to go on unless he can find you first. Ok?â Rory says, picking you back up off the floor, âGo to your man.â
You send him a text to meet you out by your car as soon as he can. You beat him to the car, pacing back and forth in front of the hood. You see him walking towards you, your heart beating like crazy. âIâm sorry I didnât tell you,â you blurt out to him before he can even get a word in.
His eyes meet yours, his lips pressed into a thin line. âWhy didnât you tell me?âÂ
You just shrug, trying to figure out the words to say. âIt never came up? I donât know. I should have. Itâs not a big deal, I just have to work the two jobs to make ends meet, especially since this is normally during the summer when I donât have school and I can get a paycheck and I told you that Iâve been dancing since I was like three, I just left out the part about me still dancing and Iâm sorry are you mad?â you let out all in one breath.Â
He shrugs back, his hand in his jean pockets as he kicks a pebble back and forth with his foot. âThatâs not the real reason. I know you well enough, Y/N, youâre not a good liar.â
 âYou have everything. I have to struggle to make ends meet, and even doing this, itâs still tough. I love both of my jobs; I was always worried that I would have to choose between teaching or dancing, and yes I have to do both in order to survive, but I would do both even if one was enough. Iâm sorry,â you say again.
âThis isnât something thatâs going to work if we keep things from each other. I mean, what if I had a secret family? I mean, the guys know who you are, too. What do you think it was like having them see my girlfriend dancing out there and me sitting there like an idiot not even knowing this was something you do?â he counters, his hands starting to wave around with frustration.
âNot telling you about a job is a lot different than you keeping a whole family from me. Itâs not like this is some sort of scandal, this is something that Iâm insecure about, I donât know what else to tell you. Sorry I made you look slightly stupid in front of your friends.â you turn away from him, starting to go back inside when he grabs you by the arm, turning you towards him.Â
He bites his bottom lip, face scrunched like heâs trying to figure out what heâs going to do next. âThis is something that makes you happy?âÂ
âYeah.â
âWhat about teaching?â
âSame feeling.â
âThen thatâs all I care about. Come on, you think I would be angry that you had two jobs, or something? I would be angry if you had two jobs and you hated both of them. Youâre doing what you love. Every time you talk about what you did at school that day, your eyes light up and I donât even think you realize how much energy you get just thinking about your students and I feel so proud to be with someone whoâs so passionate about what they do. If youâre like that about this, then oh my, god, I think the guys are going to kill me for talking about you so much.â
âAw, you talk about me to the guys?âÂ
The line in his lips turns into a small smile as he moves towards you, pulling you closer to him. His hand finds the small of your back, lips close enough that youâre sure heâs about to kiss you. âAre you kidding? I donât shut up about you.â
âI talk about you a lot here, but if I did that at school my Principal would get very angry at me for not teaching.â
âDamn, your kids would go wild if they knew you were sleeping with one of their favorite athletes.â
âYeah, and I would be fired for telling them and also lying to them since their favorite player is Sean.âÂ
He pulls away, a shocked look on his face, âIâm better than Monny,â he says, acting like heâs hurt. You throw your head back laughing as he pulls you closer to him. âIs it bad that Iâm still thinking about fucking you on the counter in your classroom but now youâre wearing this?âÂ
âHow about somewhere that my students donât have access to and I wear one of your jerseys instead?â
His eyes grow wide before he closes them, obviously thinking about it, âFuck,â he lets out, his face going towards the sky. âPlease do.â
âCalm down there, Tkachuk, you still have the rest of the show to get through first.âÂ

Shady boss lies about me to coworkers, I have her fired and in dept for several years after.
I have been lurking around here fore quite some time, and wishing I had a good story for you, until suddenly I realized I do! This happened back in 2011/12 when I was the ripe old age of 19 years old. This is a long one, so do strap in.
I got a part time job at a fast food place specializing in subs, not subway, but very similar, when I was 17. It was located in the towns mall, and was fairly busy. Itâs a national chain where Iâm from. When I started there the owner at the time was really nice, and she started that branch in my town. She was very strict on following all the cleaning requirements and took real pride in her shop. The way it was set up financially was that the franchise taker basically had to work from open to closing (9 am-7 pm) to even have a chance at making a decent living, and preferably only have one part timer helping for a few hours when it was at its busiest. Itâs like the MLM of fast food. Why anyone would take on such a business wager is beyond me, but I digress. However, this owner actually managed to make money off it.
A year or so after I started, the owner decided she would move to a different part of the country and sell her branch and have someone else take over. That lucky individual was my co-worker who was three years older than me. (From now on Bosslady) She had worked there since it opened and was the natural choice to move up the ladder. Because she didnât have the money to pay for the share in the franchise, about $5k, and nobody else was willing to pay that and have to work their ass off for minimal revenue, HQ allowed her to take over while they bought the old owner out, and HQ kept the share.
Now, Bosslady had no idea how to run a mile, much less a business, and small things started happening quite soon after she took over. I would normally work there after school, by myself, but she would often hang around the mall when she had finished work. Bosslady always complained about how little money she made, and would often come by when me or the other part timers were working and tell us to give her $20-100 right out of the register. Considering total daily sales never reached more than about $1200, that was a lot. I barely made $12/h, so my motivation was too low to care, and neither did the rest of the part timers, so we complied and gave her the money. My spider sense was tingling a bit, telling me it was fishy to grab money right out of the register, even if she was the owner, but if she wanted to dig her own grave that was fine by me.
I was friends with Bosslady and we would hang out and often hung out on the weekends, and we worked saturdays together. Which ment we would go out on Friday nights, get shit faced and work the next day hung over. Oh to be young. I would only go out during the weekends and never missed a day of work no matter how hung over I was, and saturdays were the only days I would be hung over. Besides school and work, I was in a dance company, and had dance classes everyday, mostly after 7pm, but a few days I had them earlier and couldnât work no matter what. This is important.
Every night we would count the register, leave $100 dollars in change and small bills for the next day, and deposit the rest in a safe at the mall. Iâm not entirely sure, because itâs been a long time, but I do believe Bosslady would tell us to take the difference out of the $100 for the register, somehow believing the money would magically show up the next day. After a while we started having problems with the distributers, we were not allowed to order on credit, and had to go to the bank to pay the bills in person etc. After that things started getting really weird, and Bosslady refused to let us make the cash deposits at night, insisting that we put the money bags in one of the cabinets inside the shop, which after a month or two culminated to a lot of cash. We had also had trouble a few months with getting paid on time. Since I worked the most out of all the part timers, I had the biggest salary, and the people who administered pay decided to pay the smaller checks first. This girl had bills to pay so that did not sit well with me. I was also the hardest worker out of all of us, Bosslady included.
Then one lovely Tuesday while I was at school, one of the other part timers asked me to cover her shift, to which I said I wasnât able to because not only did I have back-to-back dance classes I also had a paper to write for school. Later that night I get a text from the girl saying âif you were hung over you could have just said so, you donât have to lie..â and Iâm like âexcuse me? I donât drink on school nights, and thereâs no way I would have had the time to do so last night with dance class right after work and working on my paperâ to which she just answered âyeah sure, Bosslady told me you were out last nightâ. The funny part is, this was a fairly small town, so there where nowhere to go on weeknights, so even if I wanted to break my own rules and party on a school night, I couldnât. This really pissed me off, and figured I would stop playing nice and saving Bossladyâs ass.
Que the revenge: One day out of the blue, during summer, Bosslady declared she was going to go on a last minute, two week vacation to the states, and told me to take care of the shop while she was gone. I said fine, but would like more notice next time. I also asked her how she paid for it, considering she wasnât able to take out any salary from the shop, and she just said âoh, I had some savingsâ. I just thought âHmm, thatâs weird considering you actually donât make moneyâ, but didnât say anything.
The first day I was in charge HQ called, and the conversation went like this:
HQguy: âhey, is Bosslady around?â
Me: âNo, she took a last minute vacation to the states and put me in charge, didnât she tell you?â
HQguy: âNo, she did not indulge that information. But maybe you can help me. Do you know what happened to all the cash deposits from the past few months?â
Me: âYeah, theyâre in one of the cabinets here. Bosslady told us not to deposit them, she even yelled at me when I was about to, because I felt really uncomfortable knowing we had what must have been more than $15k lying around in the shop, and gave me an excuse about having to look them overâ
HQguy: âAre you serious?!â
Me: âSure am. What should I do?â
HQguy: âI know the previous owner is in town, maybe you can call her and ask if she can come help you? She knows whatâs what, and please deposit all the cash today!â
Me: âSure, no problem. I will look over all the cash bags to see how much there actually is and make sure theyâre all there and deposit them ASAPâ and we hung up.
I called the old owner and told her what was up, and she sounded really surprised and was there within ten minutes. Together we quickly looked over all the cash, but didnât count it. They where in these little pouches that had a form on the front where you filled in how many of each bill and coin was in it, so we figured the right amount would be in each bag. They werenât sealed, because Bosslady had told us not to seal them before putting them in the cabinet. I then put them all in a bag and discretely made my way over to the safe where we deposited them. It was on the other side of the mall, and the mall was open so my heart was racing. I felt like everyone knew I was carrying a shitload of cash.
The old owner started asking me if we kept up with the cleaning requirements, and I answered truthfully that Bosslady never told us to do any of the time consuming stuff, like the ice-cube machine, saying that we would have to do that after closing and she didnât have the money to pay us for the extra hours, so she said would do it on the weekends herself. Old owner just shrugged and told me she had to leave. Since I was all alone in the shop and it was fairly quiet, I started looking around for things to clean. This was around 4 pm. I quickly realized that she had never cleaned anything like she said she had. Under the fridges and workbenches there where LAYERS of dirt, the water tank in the ice cube machine was GREEN with algae, the cooling fans in the refrigerators where covered in mold. I started cleaning, but quickly realized this would require my full attention, so I closed the shop early. I called the old owner and she supported my decision and called the mall manager for me to let them know what was up.
I have never cleaned that much in my life. I scrubbed everything. I pulled all the refrigerators out and scrubbed thoroughly behind everything. What took the longest was the ice cube machine. I wasnât done until 11 pm that night. Being the petty bitch I am, and being pissed Bosslady went on vacation with the shop in the state it was, I took pictures of everything before I started cleaning and sent them all to the food safety agency, telling them that nothing had been cleaned for over a year. I also got to clock all the hours I spent cleaning, getting an ok from HQguy. Looking back now and seeing how little I was paid, I would have just not cared, but at the time I was afraid people would get sick and die from eating the food.
The next day I called the old owner and all the part timers asking them to meet at my place saying we needed a staff meeting without Bosslady and now was the chance. They all came and we started talking, telling me what Bosslady had done when they were working together and other things they had observed her doing. I took notes, and later that night I wrote a seven(!!) page document listing all the things we knew she did wrong, and how we suspected she was stealing money from the shop etc., and I emailed it directly to HQguy. He emailed me back saying he would look into it.
HQguy called me a few days later thanking me for notifying him about all the things she was doing, and told me that when the cash was registered the amount listed on the form and the amount in the pouches wasnât the same, and asked me if I knew where it had gone. A light went off, and I realized the âsavingsâ Bosslady had used to pay for her trip was actually money she had taken from the pouches, and thatâs why she wouldnât let us seal them. I told him as much and he said he would dig a little.
When Bosslady came back from vacation, she seemed very stressed. I acted like nothing had happened when she was gone, but chuckled when she opened the cash cabinet and saw that all the money was gone, and her face turned so white she was almost see through, but she said nothing. She was in the back most of the day on her phone and came out asking me if I could cover for her the next few days as she had to go to HQ for a last minute meeting (HQ was 8 hours away). I agreed and went home.
Over the next few days I was seething with excitement to find out what happened. When she came back she tried to play it cool and said âIâve decided to quit. I feel like doing something different, so Iâm just working until the end of the month, and then Iâm leavingâ, and I just acted sorry and oblivious. I knew the old owner was kept in the loop by HQ, and she told me what really happened.
Bosslady had met with HQ who had questioned her about the missing money and lack of cleaning etc. (there was more, but this is already longer than the Bible). She had denied it all at first, trying to pin it on of us, and saying she had suspected someone was stealing the money and thatâs why she didnât deposit it etc, but eventually broke down and admitted it all. She was then given the option of quitting and paying them back all the missing money in installments or having charges pressed against her. She obviously chose the former. Personally I would have pressed charges no matter what, but they wanted to help her out because I guess they understood she was in a bit of a tough situation with not making any money on the shop, and also didnât want it blow up in the media.
I kept working there for a few more months, but quit because i found a job that paid more. Word spread about what Bosslady had done, so she really struggled to find a new job to pay what she owed, since no one trusted her. She eventually did, but had to pay them back for several years later. We did not keep in touch.
Guess she shouldnât have lied about me to my coworkers.
And Iâm all out of breath
TL;DR: shady boss lies to my coworkers about me being too hungover to cover their shifts, I tell HQ about all the shady stuff sheâs doing and she loses her job and has to pay them back the money she stole for several years, and lost her good reputation.

Between Worlds
Well, you guys asked for a story about these cryptids after I finished Prison Cell. Well, I couldnât get all of them into one one-off, obviously, but I hope you like it! There is going to be some Creatorship. Also, cryptids in this story arenât a metaphor for disabilities, homosexuality, or anything else- theyâre just cryptids.
---
It was the night after Henryâs senior prom. He had had a great time dancing with his friends and could have almost pretended that everything in his life was normal.
Most people knew that Henry was mute, but most didnât know that he didnât need to sleep or eat. Most didnât know that he could sense other cryptids in the surrounding area. When he was a kid, he had made the mistake of telling someone about a cat-like one that heâd seen rummaging in the trash. Having to see it wrestled to the ground and shot minutes later had taught him to never do so again, and certainly to never reveal his own differences to full humans. There were maybe six cryptids in Henryâs home town. Henry knew their location, and knew that all but one of them werenât doing well. He even remembered when one of them- one of them hardly older than Henry was now- had died. It was like a light going off on a radar board. Henry thanked his lucky stars every day that he looked human and could live a human life. Most werenât. Most couldnât.
Henry didnât communicate with most of the cryptids in his area. Heâd already befriended one, and taking care of him was work enough for Henry.
Heâd been six years old when heâd found Joey rummaging through their cupboards at night. Joey had been small, then, and a bit more animalistic, with his gangly too-long limbs and crow-skull face. Joey had explained to Henry that his parents had abandoned him, and Henry had allowed Joey to sleep in his bed that night. From that point on, Henry kind of looked after Joey, even as he got bigger and harder to manage.
It was a thankful thing that Henry didnât have to sleep. It had allowed Henry to go out on his own at night. It was at night that he could play with Joey. It was also at night that they, thankfully, found an abandoned house in the woods where Joey could stay at. It was a good thing, too- little six-year-old Joey could hide in Henryâs room easily enough, but since then heâd grown from having the body of an awkward, bipedal fawn to being easily seven feet tall and somewhat more proportionate. Heâd gotten scarier-looking, too. Maybe the little crow skull and baby claws heâd once had would have gained him some sympathy back then. The fearsome talons he had now? The elegant curved skull with the terrifyingly long, sharp beak? Not so much.
It didnât help that Joey had done some pretty shocking things to survive at this point. Muggings. Hunting the wild animals around his home with his bare hands. Thievery, including robbing peopleâs houses and on occasion shredding their guard dogs to ribbons with his claws. Henry had gotten a job as soon as he was old enough so he could to help pay Joeyâs living expenses- again, not having to sleep was a benefit, and few people understood how Henry managed to keep on top of his studies while working so hard. Of course, Joey still stole sometimes, mostly out of necessity.
Despite the challenges, though, Henry did love Joey and understood that he didnât choose to be like this, and it was nice to have someone he didnât have to hide his cryptid nature from. That was why he was heading to Joeyâs house in the woods- it was high time that they had a talk about the future. In the past, Joey had expressed terror at the thought of Henry leaving him. So Henry wouldnât. Not now. Maybe not ever.
Joey leaned down and Henry kissed him on the beak, as he always did when they met up.
âHow was prom, dear?â Joey asked.
Good, Henry signed.
âGood.â
Can I stay the night? Thereâs so much we have to talk about.
âOf course you can.â
I thought about what I want in the future. I want to help cryptids like you. I thought for a while that I could just leave this life behind, but I'd always be able to feel you in the back of my head, and it would kill me if you died and I didnât know how or why or if I could prevent it. I just donât know how to make that my life.
âWell, thereâs always the studio,â Joey suggested. âWe could hire other cryptids.â
Thatâs a castle in the sky, Joey. I donât know how to get the money for that. And you might have the time to draw all day, but I havenât been practicing as much as I should. Balancing work and school, you know. Henry stopped signing and looked to Joey for answers. None came. Well, I guess I donât have to figure it out right now. I guess I could just work for a while until I figure it out. Letâs just go upstairs. Enjoy our night together.
Joeyâs room was dark this time of night, illuminated by a lantern. The walls were coated with Joeyâs art. It really was impressive stuff. At one point, Henry had been the better artist between the two of them, but not anymore. That always filled Joey with a sense of both pride in himself and shame that heâd stifled Henry.
âHenry,â Joey said, putting a hand on Henryâs shoulder. âIâve had this idea for a while... the idea that you could apply for an art school using my art. I mean, youâre talented. You could sharpen your skills again over the summer. Then at art school you could figure out how to make the studio happen. What do you say?â
Henry shook his head. If I go to an art school in another city, Iâll have to leave you behind. And art school wonât teach me how to start a studio. Itâll just teach me how to work at one.
âRight,â Joey said, disappointed. Living on the outside of society had left him dreadfully naĂŻve as to how it worked. âWell, Itâs not just about that. Itâs about making up for the trouble Iâve caused you. Letting you be free of me for a while. And while youâre gone, I can meet other cryptids. Try to be more independent.â
Henry hesitated. Leaving Joey to his own devices would mean that Joey would be providing for all of his needs through theft and violence, and stood a greater chance of being caught.
âJust do one semester. For me. Alright?â
Henry nodded, then gave Joey a hug. The plan was sealed. The summer went as planned. Henryâs artistic skills came back quickly. They also enjoyed their time together, going for walks down by the river, stargazing, fantasizing about a world where he could take Joey with him. The summer was over too fast, and the two parted ways.
---
The closer Henry got to the new city, the more cryptids Henry could detect, like blips on a radar. He ignored them. He and Joey had talked about this- this was to be Henryâs time to be human, and human he would be.
It was a commitment that was hard to keep. Henry missed having someone who understood what it meant to be different. Sometimes Henry would detect a cryptid who was right near him and get tempted.
One day, he broke. Heâd detected a while ago that the older woman that sometimes sat next to him in art history class was a cryptid, though he didnât know what kind. The strange thing- or it would have been strange if Henry didnât know what she was- was that the woman looked identical to his mother.
After mulling over how to approach her, Henry had decided to just be honest with her. After theyâd chatted a bit and were in private, Henry admitted to being a cryptid, and to what his powers were. It was a risky move- the woman, open-minded as she seemed, might have reported him. Instead, she smiled.Â
âOh. Cool, Iâm a cryptid, too. One of my powers is that I appear as peopleâs dream woman.â It was strange and kind of refreshing to find someone so open about it.
What would a little kid see? Henry wrote on the pad of paper he was using to communicate.
âMaybe their best female friend. But most often? Their mom.â
Henry went red.Â
Allison threw her head back and laughed. âHenry, when thereâs only one person in the room, I can see what form Iâm taking. And yeah, it doesnât mean youâre a manchild. A mother is a pretty common one for grown women or, you know, men like you. But itâs okay. I mean, why would freaks like us care about something as small as who you love? Anyhow. The good thing about my powers is that some of them- not this one, though- can be taught. Want to hang out sometime?â
Absolutely, Henry wrote.
---
On what was actually less than two hundred miles away but felt like the other side of the planet, Joey was on the hunt for cryptids as well. Henry had left him with a vague map of where the handful of cryptids around town were. Of course, there was no guarantee that any of them would be friendly or even sapient, and unfortunately, all of them had proven extremely good at hiding. Heâd nearly given up on finding other cryptids when he found one of them one fateful night.
Joey had stolen, among other things, money from someoneâs house the night before, but couldnât exactly go into stores to use it. So, instead he was hiding in a back alley, waiting for some street person to come along. Street people were a blessing to Joey- he could have been Satan himself and they still wouldnât object to being paid to go into a few stores to buy things for him.
A blond, baby-faced man in a hoodie turned into the alleyway, prompting Joey to crawl out of hiding and approach him. The man was scared, unsurprisingly, and adopted a defensive stance. Once Joey was close enough, the other man lunged, struck Joey right in a wound that heâd acquired a few days ago, tackled him over.
âHow did you do that!?â Joey demanded of the man. It seemed impossible. Joey was experienced at scraps and must have had over a foot and a good fifty or sixty pounds on the guy.
âExtremely good luck,â the man said with a smile, helping Joey up. âSorry boutâ that. I thought you were dangerous.â He then continued on his way. It was then that Joey realized that the man didnât look homeless- he was clean, healthy, uninjured, shaven and all that. Joey ran to keep up with him.
âDo you walk home this way every night? You know, through a back alley at midnight in the bad side of town?â
âYeah, mostly. Sometimes you just gotta have time to yourself, you know? A lot of people donât like me. Say Iâm a bad omen. Which I am, but I canât help it. When ah was a boy, I wanted a dog fer Christmas. So, one of my parentsâ friendsâ house burned down and he had to move in with us temporarily- and they brought their dog. That kinda thing happened to me a lot before ah figured out the pattern. So, I, uh, have to try and make sure I donât want anything too hard. It ainât so bad once you get used to it.â The boyâs face showed sadness. Clearly it did bother him.
âOh. Well, for a person who likes time to himself, you sure seem eager to talk to people. Whatâs your name, kid?â
âWally.â
âWally. Well, I donât know about you, but I think our meeting was fate. You must have wanted to make friends who were like you! And that just so happens to be what I want. Why donât we stick together.â
â...That might not be a good idea for ya.â
âIâll take my chances. I mean, just try to want my well-being and it should happen, right?â
Wally stopped walking. They were at the end of the back alley. Two cops approached them and then fell into a man-hole, saving Joey from having to run from them. âAh mean... it might happen that way.â Wallyâs voice cracked.
âIt will. Just trust me. Weâll make it work.â
---
By the end of the semester, Henry was putting more time into cryptid hunting than his studies. Allison was his assistant. She taught him some minor potions and charms before their first âmission.â Henry had thought it was unnecessary. He was wrong. The cryptid they met was a harpy-like creature with poisoned claws, and theyâd had to kill it in self-defense.
There were good cryptids, too. Human-like ones. Ones Henry met on campus who walked the border line between âcryptid,â and âgifted, disabled, or both.â There were even a few animal-like cryptids that Henry and Allison could do nothing for except feeding them and giving them some water. But the majority of what set off Henryâs radar were monsters.
Henry had started off excited about âcryptid hunting,â as Allison put it, but now, it was draining him emotionally and frankly scaring him half to death. Allison never tired of it. Allison kept dragging him out. She wasnât oblivious to his distress and tried to debrief him with comforting words and alcohol (at one point, stuff stronger than alcohol, which Henry had refused), but her lust for adventure was stronger than her empathy.
At the end of the semester, Henry returned home with mediocre grades and no real desire to go back to university. Maybe he would go to some other school and be a person instead of a cryptid this time- the credits heâd accumulated would still count at the next place. Maybe heâd go back to the same place but stop cryptid hunting- which would mean either setting some serious boundaries with Allison or cutting her out of his life, as well as ignoring a pretty significant part of himself. At least he had cryptid friends now. Or, maybe heâd just enter the workforce. Heâd have to talk it over with his parents. And Joey. Back at home now, Henry could sense that the cryptids in this town were all clustered together now, matching up with what Joey had said in his letters about forming a little pack. Henry hoped that the cryptids Joey had found werenât too frightening.
When Henry arrived to the little house in the woods, he could see that a large section had been added onto it. Good. It honestly worried Henry sometimes that Joey was spending so much time in that musty, moldering wooden house. The door was answered by a creature with glossy black eyes and a black pit for a mouth.
Iâll get Joey, the creature signed. It knew sign language. Had Joey found other mutes, or had this creature learned just for him? It didnât matter. Henry was home, and Joey had made himself a family. Like always, Henry met Joey with a kiss on the beak.
âWelcome home, Henry. We have so much to catch up on.â
That night, Henry ate with Joeyâs family and slept curled up in Joeyâs arms. It was hard being between worlds. And even though he had the capacity to leave the world of cryptids behind, a big part of him didnât want to.

Hi, good mornining! I saw your recent post, and I have few questions. 1) have you previously done a review of Og!MJ's character or anything about her actress' interview? Bcs its my first time hearing (reading) that she is like that. I would like to know more about it, please? 2) i've been looking for ages for more information regarding michelle's family, where did you find the deleted scene? I've never heard about that. :( Thank you for your help and contribution to this fandom!
Hiâ„
have you previously done a review of Og!MJ's character or anything about her actress' interview? Bcs its my first time hearing (reading) that she is like that. I would like to know more about it, please?
Instead of supporting the new Spider-man (and yes, sheâs entitled to her own opinion but câmon, this comes as really petty from her part), she decided to criticize him back when everyone was criticizing the new spider-man. Back then everyone was doubting Tom; saying he was either too young, looked too skinny to fit in the role, or didnât have what was necessary to be spider-man. This happens almost all the time with all kinds of actors. This happened with Gal Gadot when she got the role of Wonder Woman, same with Candice Patton when she got the role of Iris West, etc. Kirsten was one of them, she even suggested Tom was doing it only for the money. She didnât stop and see the effort he was putting into the character, she couldâve even reached out to him or Laura Harrier (who was the female lead at the time) to congratulate them. Andrew Garfield didnât have a problem doing that;
"If I am being totally honest, I am so excited Spider-Man is back in the hands of Marvel. I think that's a really awesome move.â
This happens a lot with cancel culture too, people are quick to judge something they usually donât even know.Â
She told Marie Claire magazine, âWe made the best ones, so who cares? Iâm like, âYou make it all you want.â Theyâre just milking that cow for money. Itâs so obvious. You know what I mean? I donât care. Everyone likes our Spider-Man. Come on, am I right or what? Listen, Iâd rather be in the first ones than the new ones.â
And this was Hollandâs response to her:
âSheâs entitled to her own opinion and Iâm not one to judge at all. I definitely am not doing this movie for the money. I mean, itâs a job that I think anyone would do regardless of what you were getting paid, you know? All I know is I had the greatest time on this movie and I absolutely loved it and, you know, if she doesnât want to go and see it, I donât really care. I donât dislike her in any way for what she said and sheâs entitled to her opinion, so itâs all cool,â
She couldâve handled this with more class tbh. But still, Iâm guessing she can change her mind anytime she wants.Â
i've been looking for ages for more information regarding michelle's family, where did you find the deleted scene? I've never heard about that.
"There was a moment when they come back from Washington in Homecoming â I don't think it made it into the movie â where you get the sense where she clearly doesn't have someone there to pick her up and meet her at the bus and May and Peter offer to give her a ride home. You get a sense maybe there's some sad home life going on."Â writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. They wrote the script for Spider-man: Homecoming.Â
This is the part that bothers me about her character. They donât even bother with her. Like, this scene was not even filmed because itâs not between the deleted scenes in the DVD, or at least they didnât consider the scene to be worthy to be there. If she was going to be an important character, why donât they let her have a storyline or at least let the audience know more about her?Â
Take into consideration that we knew Mary Jane Watsonâs family (Philip and Madeline), inspirations and daily life (She was a waitress, a former actress, a Jazz club singer, was in the broadway theater, she loves modeling and worked to develop independence and smarts, etc) and story (In order to escape her abusive, alcoholic father she pursues a career in acting to find more freedom and self-direction) in the Raimiâs films.Â
Mary Jane: Oh. They said I needed acting lessons. A *soap opera* told me I needed acting lessons.
Peter: Lemme buy you a cheeseburger. The sky's the limit.
We knew Gwen Stacyâs family (George, Helen, Philip, Howard, Simon), inspirations and daily life (She was a lab assistant to Dr. Curt Connors before becoming the senior research officer at Oscorp Industries, she was the valedictorian of her school, one of Midtown's star students, sheâs in the debate team, she used to help Flash with his homework, got the antidote to replace the reptilian serum, she was going to go to Oxford with a scholarship in molecular medicine, etc) and story (her father was the captain of the New York Police Department who strongly wants Spider-man not to involve her daughter in his superhero life while sheâs head intern turned senior research officer to Dr. Connors who is the world's foremost authority on herpetology and is studying to follow her dream career in molecular medicine) in the Amazing Spiderman.Â
Gwen:Â I have to go to England, Peter. It's important to me. I mean, maybe we're on different paths right now. You know? I don't know. Maybe we're just going different ways.Â
Peter: Gwen. Good luck.
We knew Liz Allan/Toomesâ family (Adrian and Doris), inspirations and daily life (academic goals, has parties, discusses normal things with friends like crushes and superheroes, Betty is her best friend, wants everyone to have a bright future, reads coaching books and watches TED talks to motivate her team, sheâs also the head of the dance and planning committee, one of the top students in Midtown, sheâs the captain of the decathlon team, she mentioned she struggled to balance school and other priorities as a sophomore, etc) and story (While she was busy studying and building a career for herself, her father was selling illegal alien weapons and was in the trading business behind her and her motherâs back) in Homecoming.Â
Peter: Wow, you really... This is really important to you.
Liz: Yeah. Itâs our future. Iâm not gonna screw it up.
It feels like theyâre involved in the story, like theyâre actually main characters instead of being the love interest only. And take into consideration that I donât even like Mary Jane from the Raimiâs films.Â
Isnât it weird that we donât know anything about Michelle?
We know:
She likes to read.
She is fluent in sarcasm.
She likes to go to protests.Â
Sheâs in the academic decathlon.
But I could say the same about the extra kids in the decathlon team.Â
I could go around the excuse of âsome things happen off-screenâ when it comes to the romance between Peter and Michelle (something that they didnât even take time to develop either), but whatâs the excuse for her character development? We know even more about Flash than her. We know Flash likes being a DJ, he studies hard to be #1, heâs rich, he feels jealous of Peter, his parents are never around and make him refer to them in a detached manner, we even saw Flashâs date in Homecoming and the fact that he took her to dinner first before going to the dance. We even know Flashâs butler lmao. This is why part of me believes sheâs only there as fan-service, given that fans love the connection between Tom and Zendaya, and because the actress herself is popular.Â
This could also be happening because Spider-man belongs to a bigger world now. Heâs part of a big franchise and maybe these details arenât necessary anymore. Maybe romance is not a big deal because they need to focus on Peter. But I still think itâs unfair. I hope we can see more of her story in SM3.Â
