Jack Merridew x Choir! Reader
Lord of the Flies
2nd POV
you pulled uncomfortably at the long, black cloak that dropped at your ankles, the frilly white ruffles ticked your neck awkwardly. sweat built up under your armpits and on your palms, making you lift your arms up to somewhat dry your underarms and wipe your hands on your shorts that were under your robe. you turned to one of the girls in your section, jerking your hands up and down with a slight head tilt. âdoes my uniform look okay?â you asked her softly, dropping your hands back at your side.
she hummed in thought, tapping her chin before fixing your black cap before adjusting the f/c rosary that hung from your neck. she pulled her hands away from your body, eyeing you up and down with furrowed brows. she turned to one of the nearby tenors, tapping his shoulder, she pointed over to you with a quirked brow, muttering to the tall boy.
you shuttered when you made eye contact with the light, icy blue eyes of the tenor which flickered around your frame before going back to your e/c eyes.
his bright, orange curls fought with his black cap that was centered perfectly atop his head. he had pasty skin, dark brown freckles coating every inch of his skin, some dark reds and the same brown color on his lips. he wore the same black robe and black cap like everyone else, but his uniform was slightly different. he had a golden cross stitched into the left side of his robe, indicating he was the leader of this group.
the group you were in.
you noticed his cloak shifting slightly at his waist, faint cracking snapped in the quite air. you put it together that he was popping his knuckles, a nervous habit you noticed he did during rehearsals, warm ups, and performances.
once he was done cracking his fingers, he lifted his hands out from under the black robe and he quickly dusted you off, making sure to not touch you in any weird way. âyou should fix your makeup.â he quickly circled a finger in your face before grabbing your rosary and huffing on it, wiping his white button up sleeve across the metal to make it shine slightly more. âitâs creasing.â
your eyes fluttered wide, stumbling over your words, you struggled to find the right sentence. âhow much time to i have?â you asked, slipping away from the ginger.
âyou have ten minutes.â
âthank you!â
you jogged over to your makeup bag and snatched it, making your way over to a mirror not too far from where everyone else was. you zipped the bag open, hastily moving your makeup around before grabbing your powder and your brush. looking in the mirror, you opened the container before pausing with a slightly ajar mouth.
your makeup wasnât creased.
you shook your head softly, cursing under your breath, as you gripped the brush tightly, your knuckles turning white.
â-and for our final chorus of the day; weâre going to have jack merridew and his choir sing; Hail Redeemer Kind Divine.â
your heart skipped a beat, snapping the container shut before dropping them back into the bag and running away from the mirror, you sucked in a breath as you watched merridew lead the choral onto the risers.
thankfully, he was busy giving a speech about the piece and what it meant to him, so you quickly ran over to the alto section just before they walked out from behind the curtains.
merridew turned and faced the risers once he was finished with his speech and applause echoed through the chapel. his brows knitted together when he locked eyes with you, the two of you holding eye contact while he walked to his spot on the fourth row. he only broke contact when the clinician coughed, gaining everyoneâs attention as the hall fell silent.
the clinician turned to the pianists, waving her hands around before the piano started to play. the clinician; sister jane, turned back to the choir, muttering âone, two, three and-â before waving her hands around wildly with a loud inhale which made you all gasp before a beautiful harmony of voices boomed through the church hall.
âHail, Redeemer King Divine!
Priest and Lamb, the throne is thine,
King whose reign shall never cease,
Prince of everlasting peace.â
you slowly glanced around your section as you all sung, smiling softly as you made eye contact with the other altos before turning back to sister jane as she continued to conduct.
âAngels, Saints and nations sing
'Praised be Jesus Christ our King;
Lord of life, earth, sky and sea,
King of love on Calvary.â
you glanced over to the right to look at the guys who were in the middle, your face flushed from any color as you locked eyes with those piercing blue eyes again. you didnât know what do you in that moment, all you could do was keep singing and deal with it after the song.
âKing whose name creation thrills,
Rule our minds, our hearts, our wills, Till in peace each nation rings
With thy praises, King of Kings.â
you swallowed thickly, a small pause in the piece which allowed you to turn away from merridewâs harsh gaze before everyone started to sing again.
âAngles, Saints and nations sing
'Praised be Jesus Christ our King;
Lord of life, earth, sky and sea,
King of love on Calvary.â
you crackled your knuckles from under your robe, fiddling with your thumbs as the song continued on.
âKing most holy, King of truth,
Guide the lowly, guide the youth;
Christ thou King of glory bright,
Be to us eternal light.â
sister jane smiled as she conducted, leading the huge group of children and teens through the chorus once again.
âAngles, Saints and nations sing
âPraised be Jesus Christ our King;
Lord of life, earth, sky and sea,
King of love on Calvary.â
you werenât going to lie if you found the song kind of annoying. to be true, everyone in your choir-besides merridew-found all the songs your group sang were annoying. even some of the other kids from advanced groups thought some of the songs you all sang were annoying, but no one would say that to the directors.
âShepherd-King. oâer mountains steep,
Homeward bring the wondering sheep;
Shelter in one royal fold
States and kingdoms, new and old.â
but today.
today was the day for 6 lucky people in every choir to move up to a higher level. obviously, everyone wanted to move up, but you had to put the work and effort into your piece in oder to move up.
âAngles, Saints and nations sing
âPraised be Jesus Christ our King;
and of course, this only happens once a year.
Lord of life, earth, sky and sea,
King of love on Calvary.â
sister jane brought her hands closer together to create a decrescendo from everyone, signaling a cutoff when she seemed satisfied with the volume control. she smiled brightly over at everyone, dropping her hands at her side.
everyone in the crowd cheered and clapped, some of the older chorus members whistling loudly.
sister jane turned towards the crowd, bowing and extending an arm back towards you guys as you all bowed slightly.
the head priest made his way over towards the front of the stage, white slip of paper in hand as he tapped the mic, chuckling awkwardly as he cleared his throat, opening the paper as his eyes flickered from the 6 names listed down at the huge crowd in front of him. âletâs make this quick, shall we?â he joked, a few of the nuns chuckling.
you bit your lip, holding back a holler as your eyes scanned the room, locking back with jacks piercing eyes.
a faint smile was on his lips, also biting back a laugh at the failed attempt of a joke.
one of jacks friends; simon, stood behind him, his hands placed atop of the gingerâs shoulders. simon slightly leaned forward and smiled brightly at you, waving a finger in your direction which you returned with a closed eyed smile.
âokay.â the priest sighed, adjusting his attire before speaking again. âour six chorus singers who are moving up areâŠroger crawford, david shore, jackson hill, linsey shore, y/n l/n, and millie harrington.â
claps erupted through the hall again, the choir leaving the stage and soon everyone was out of the chapel and chatting out in the hallway, waiting for rides or wondering off.
you stood by the tall doors, waiting for your parents to arrive to pick you up. you gasped with a stumble, catching yourself with the door as you looked towards the culprit who punched you in the arm.
âcongrats on the move up, y/n.â roger beamed slightly, rocking on his heels as he offered his right hand towards you.
you stared at him for a moment, snapping out of it before shaking his hand, faintly smiling. âoh! thanks, you too.â
he smiled, letting go of your hand. âwe should probably get acquainted with one another; that way weâre not alone when we get into the new choir.â he suggested, tilting his head side to side.
you nodded, rubbing your neck. âyeah, thatâll be a good idea.â
roger smiled, turning to his left when he spotted auburn curls in the crowd heading over to the two of you.
jack made his way over to both of you, patting roger on the shoulder. âcongrats, roger.â he smiled, slowly glancing over towards you. âandâŠcongrats to you too, y/n.â
your eyes fluttered wide, your cheeks flushed a soft pink. you nodded, stuttering faintly. ât-thank you, merridew.â
simon appeared out of no where, throwing his arms around jackâs shoulders. âplease! call him jack.â he reassured, smiling warmly towards you. âafter all, weâre going to be friends, yeah?â
you nodded. âyeah, yeah we are.â you muttered.
simon beamed before waving his hands around as if to brush that conversation away. âanyways, jack, roger, maurice, and i are gonna hang out to-â he pinched his pointer and thumb together, bringing them up to his lips whilst clicking his tongue. he quickly dropped his hand and went quite when one of the nuns walked past. once she was out of sight, he turned back to you with a smile. âyou wanna tag along?â
your eyes sparkled, surprised that the top four boys in your choir were this rebellious. you expected the four of them to eat dessert before dinner or to skip brushing their teeth in the mornings before heading to school, but this was something completely different and you were all for it.
âof course.â
i hope you guys enjoy!:3 maybe iâll do a part 2 of them all hanging out if you guys are interested???

i saw you were sick, i hope you get better soon. could i have a ship please. i donât mind the boys or gen v. also i did one for the last ships so if thatâs unfair delete this one. i go by she/her pronounce and prefer a male ship.
currently iâm in college majoring in government. i wanna go into political consulting, journalism, or pr. looks wise im 5â1 with dark brown hair, dark brown eye, and pale skin. my mom used to call me snow white when i was younger, if that puts it into perspective.
im am enfp. personality wise iâm talkative, smart, kind, and loyal. i pride myself on my loyalty, ill never turn my back on someone i care about and iâm always willing to help out. i struggle a lot with patience. i try to be patient but its so hard. i hate when people underestimate me, i love to prove them wrong. i walk around the house singing most of the time.
personal style i wear a lot of brand clothes that i find on sale. itâs either a more preppy look or a dressed down look. its either really nice clothes or leggings and a t-shirt.
i love to spend time with the people i care about and i hate being alone. even sitting in silence with someone is nice. most of my free time is spends watching tv shows, playing video games, or listening to music. i love comedy shows, iâve seen most of them. as for video games i typically play chill farming sims or like superhero games. i listen to a lot of pop music like lana del rey or chappell roan.
also in my relationship i would like some reassurance. itâs nice when the person im with compliments me or calls me pretty. iâd like to travel and go to places like greece because of the architecture. i would also like to settle down and have a family one day because i want to be a mom.
thanks in advance.
Luke has patience for the both of you. He's a really huge help in trying to be more patient. He has the patience of a saint because of how he grew up. He never gets upset or angry waiting in long lines, sitting in traffic, etc.
You and Luke watch tons of comedy shows together. You watch and rewarch so much you quote them to one another and have your inside jokes and no one else knows what you're talking about or why it's so funny
He definitely teases you and calls you Snow White. He loves your looks, the contrast between your hair and eyes and your skin. For Halloween every year he begs you to go as Snow White. He likes to be the evil witch, but in a hunky, sexy way
Luke is all about reassurance. He likes words of affirmation and that's how he shows his love. He considers himself lucky that that's how you feel loved, too
Luke is a major Chappell Roan fan! He might not be the target audience, but you hear him singing her new album in the shower and makes everyone be quiet for the chorus of Good Luck, Babe! So he can sing his heart out
- Hope you like it my love!!! Xoxoxođđđ

i pretty much know ur ryou thoughts so hmm. touma, banri, and torao (for the bingo)
THANQ FOR THE ASK... im not good at thought articulation but đ incoherency is the key
As for Touma...
He has been my ultimate ZOOL fave ever since they were shown together as a group (even though he was nice to my nemesis Riku) . He's adorable in all the senses you could imagine this word in, but most importantly, I care about him a lot. He's honest and shows his feelings and sure, the moments when he is are shown as silly sometimes, but there is a lot about his internal struggles, (CRYING OVER HIS ARC). Him helping Re:vale in pt3? Amazing. Guy got a lot of guts
Toraaaaooo
I HATE HIM (affectionate). HE IS GENDER, I FUCK WITH HIS AESTHETIC SO HARD, HIS CARD ART IS NEVER A MISS, HE MAKES ME SO ILL (lighthearted). Of ZOOLs he and Minami share the "second fave" place, and I used to hate him (enraged) so much after what he's done especially in relation to Ryuu. But in the part 3 already you can see some of the Very subtle cracks that let you peek inside the kind of core values and mindset he has. I'm really glad they've fleshed out his character this much, and the issues he's working on are. Wow. I would have wanted to give him a pat on the shoulder in reassurance IF IT WASN'T FOR HIS DAMN SINGLE. "DUSTYYY LOVE", and i need to prefix it with a big "I LOVE THE SEIYUUS RANGE AND VOCALS AND VOICE", RUINED MY LIFE. ever since ive heard it i could NOT for the life of me stop whatever vocal repetition it's called and randomly start singing the chorus of this damn song in the weirdest voices imaginable to try to recreate the absolutely phenomenal vocals DUSTYYY LOOOUVE I WANNA KISSE YOU. eevery time im in the voice chat i hold myself back from the song thats spinning in my head. Torao you need to get bullied more (lovingly) but also people cam be mean about you (rightfully so, for serving so much)
Banri!
I'm putting him in a salad spinner. I have a version of Banri that's in my head and it only serves my angst fantasies, but I haven't really got much to say about him. I really care about him as a character, and from pt1 he's been. So good. And then bam. Light fixture! I CRIED LIKE HELL. I got chills when Ryou was near him I thought it could go to a 100 real quick (and it only got to about 50, wjat a cute ponytail (i agree btw))
I love him as a MEZZO manager, I love him as the guy that denies Yuki which is the funniest part of their dynamic. I loveeeee him as a dilf lover that's good for him. I also love how kind he is to Momo. To me personally he is the Supporting Character Ever

HAIKYUU AS T-SWIFT SONGS (2)
synopsis , haikyuu boys in relationships represented through taylor swift songs . angst & fluff !
characters can/will be shown in multiple throughout this series . part one
a/n : part two is now here!! since these will typically be long iâll probably just do two each.
âALL I CAN SAY IS, I WAS ENCHANTED TO MEET YOUâ â SUGAWARA, DAICHI, kita, and shoyo in enchanted
before we start i would like to say i really like the chorus of this song hehe. anyways, enchanted is most definitely SUGAWARAâS song. heâs the first person that comes to mind when i think of this song. when you first met sugawara, heâs a bit shy but heâs very genuine and kind. his aura is alluring and his positive comments are always cheering those around him up (including you). heâs actually really easy to fall for.. and right away you asked around if he was single. and to your surprise, he was?? âliterally how? heâs an angelâ is what you thought. becoming deeply infatuated with the young man is a struggle because sugawara is just that enchanting. heâs got you completely hooked on him without even trying to. but unfortunately.. there doesnât seem like thereâs a chance with him. all you can do is pray and hope that thereâs not someone else. now DAICHI⊠you definitely do not see how enchanting this man can be until you really pay close attention. daichi always acknowledges the little things and details, which for some reason made your heart skipped a beat despite being long time friends with him. as you begin to notice these details of daichi, your feelings start to grow. daichi fits this song as heâs a respectable man but also only seems to focus on his self and career, so it seems that youâll just have to put your feelings aside and just be friends. but thatâs alright! youâre happy that out of everyone on the earth, daichi is the one you fell in love with. KITA is somewhat of a different situation. this is because kita tends to not show any emotion. but besides that, you still fall for the silent leader. just like daichi, kita is a respectable man and always notices the little things around him. whenever youâre alone with kita, you feel like you stepped into another dimension. kita is a very intriguing, at least to you he is. even if kita were to coldly reject you, you have a feeling you wouldnât be upset. after all, what are the chances that you get to cross paths with a man like him? up next is SHOYO! shoyo has a very unique personality which is why he made it into todays cut. heâs actually pretty admiring despite his recklessness. he always strives to better, which inspires you to be better too. you swear youâve never met someone like him before, and you probably never will again. thereâs only one hinata shoyo, and you get to meet him. your interactions with shoyo is definitely something you will never forget as he unintentionally impacts the lives of others for the better.
âIF YOU COULD SEE THAT IM THE ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS YOUâ â KUROO, BOKUTO, AKAASHI, atsumu, and tsukishima in you belong with me
YOU BELONG WITH ME!! bokuto would most definitely scream this outside of your front porch. atsumu would be too embarrassed too but do it anyways because of peer pressure. kuroo wouldnât do it because he thinks itâs uncool (he ended up screaming it later). akaashi doesnât scream it, but he does say it to you in lowercase letters. tsukishima doesnât say it at all because heâs much, much more embarrassed too and would rather die (you convince him too later). first, we have KUROO. now, roles are reversed here, so the boys are the ones telling you to escape that trash relationship of yours. kuroo was super supportive of your relationship, even though he did hold romantic feelings towards you. he told himself he wouldnât interfere though, at least that was the case until he found out what a shitty boyfriend you have. kuroo at first tries to bring it up slowly. he doesnât want to suddenly start an argument with you, but itâs hard when you try to convince him he isnât that bad when in reality, heâs the shittiest bf ever. and so, this leads kuroo to just bluntly telling you everything he knows (with evidence) and now comforts you because you truly did like that awful bf (soon ex) of yours. now, kuroo doesnât tell you about his feelings right away. thatâs because his feelings arenât relevant or important right now. he wouldnât want to take advantage of your vulnerability and as your friend, heâs going to support you in the best way as possible by putting his own feelings aside. kuroo wonât make any moves, at least not until a long time. but after watching how kurooâs always been there for you, youâll probably start to realize you were meant to be with him. if/when BOKUTO finds out about this awful boyfriend of yours, he wouldnât dive in and sweep you away so quickly (although he would love that idea). bokuto can be rational, sometimes. not to mention he has akaashi helping him! bokuto doesnât bring it up immediately, but he does try to hint it at you by randomly saying stuff like âwow, did you see that yuiâs boyfriend got her flowers? i heard that he does it every week.â because unfortunately your bf doesnât even bother gifting you anything. while this can hurt your feelings in the process, bokuto brings flowers for you the next day to show you that he can treat you much better. and honestly, one day bokuto might just break out and scream âDUMP THAT BOYFRIEND OF YOURS AND DATE ME INSTEAD!!!â out of frustration. of course this will catch you completely off guard, but itâs so sweet itâs hilarious. do you reject him? youâd be crazy if you did. besides, you had already broken up with your ex yesterday, but it seems that the spiker didnât know. AKAASHI probably tries to bring up the topic peacefully, but if you keep denying it heâll eventually become frustrated and just tell you face to face. heâs completely blunt about it, and he has to be. he believes that you should break it off as soon as possible. and if itâs necessary, heâll probably give you a list onto why heâd be a better boyfriend. this includes not the bare minimum because you should already know your worth, but things he knows youâd appreciate. this song is akaashiâs fight song, and i am all here for it. ATSUMU is the type who just says it straight to you. âbreak up with your boyfriend, i can treat you much better. canât you see that?â heâs kinda mean about it at first, but not on purpose. he just really wants you to see how bad of a person your current bf is. TSUKISHIMA is also the same, except i feel like heâd be more self aware and tell you to know youâre own worth.

Saw your dialogue idea. Might I ask what is your Paradigm AU?
oh its what I named the idea for my au of egghog, based after the events of your fic with the main character being the dormant AI tanner prower, the idea there was sort of inbetween tanner and HH sonic, i havent fully worked out how HH sonic would end up in a conversation with tanner considering tanner is currently, free and sonic is currently a prisoner onboard egghogs capital ship, but I did think that mabye later into the au egghog might send sonic there to try and cause chaos, seeing his connection to tanner who was currently leading it.
The general idea of the au is that tanner manages to escape the destruction of his own universe due to a safe gaurd tails implemented in his code, and ends up in the universe known as paradigm, a colony on the outskirts of the democratic federation of the british empire (sorry its a sort of thing I world built and is kind of similar to the federation from star trek, except more steampunky in certain areas and with a completely different design ethos for their ships). tanner under a new directive and final pre recorded message from his late father, is now tasked with trying to identify and stop this unknown threats reign of terror.
Its been sort of proccessed in my head for a really long time, and I had come up with a few space battles involving egghog such as a shocking destruction of one of the good guys most advances super heavy (space) battle ships in a skirmish against egghog forces, I planned to make it even more jarring by showing the ship in action earlier on plowing through enemy fleets like butter (although I did give the ship a silly name) the ship is boarded and flooded with a deadly substance to kill of most of the security forces, before one of the frontal batteries is taken over and pointed towards the control tower. when the captain realises that all hope is lost he starts singing the chorus to "its a long way to tipperary" before the battery finally turns to its position and fires after the line "so long leister square" killing him as the rest of the crew continue singing, the ship manages to fire a last shell containing its black box information (the black box is a thing found on planes that stores everything that happens on the plane and is used in case of a crash) to ensure that allied forces can obtain enough information on the ship. egghog leaves the ships corpse in an attempt to demoralise allied forces. Before this there was also the destruction of a artillery support fleet that was caused more by a cocky admiral underestimating egghog and disobeying direct orders to send his ships into the heat of battle, they last about 5 minutes and a single ship manages to return heavily wounded and only surviving due to being antiqucated.
I also planned for a major character death with a person who had grown close to the MC ramming a heavily damaged ship (HMS wittenbane) into egghogs capital ship before boarding as the ships ai already believing all hope is lost plays daisy bell, the song continues to play as the character fights his way onboard the capital amongst a squad of special forces before finally being mowed down.
I sort of struggled making both sides seem competent and not completely dwarf one another and for some reason in world building I think I put way to much efort into world building the british (and in the areas youll probably never see) and im really sorry if this is bad but I hope you enjoyed it and that it sort of made sense. sorry. thanks for your interest though!

warnings: smut, mentions of alcoholÂ
talk to me about harry and y/n! let me know your thoughts!!
my ko-fi! thank you :)
From the time you were very young, you knew you wanted to be a teacher. One of your earliest childhood memories was going to school dressed up as one for career day. Your usually untamed hair was pulled back into a sleek bun (courtesy of your mother), and you donned a funky baby-pink sweater. For bottoms, you wore the closest thing to a pencil skirt you had in your five-year-old wardrobe. When you look back on the photographs your mother took of you that day, you did not resemble a teacher in any way. You were sure if you had not done your Career Day presentation in front of the whole class, no one would have even known who you were dressed up as.
Once you moved onto college and declared Education as a major, that was when people really started to let you hear their opinions on the career path you wanted to pursue. It seemed like whenever you went home for a holiday, relatives were always in your ear saying, âYou know teachers donât make a lot of money, right? Have you ever considered something in the sciences?â. You always responded, âI know, but what would the world do without teachers?â.
Eventually, you finished your undergraduate career, successfully completed student teaching with the highest praise from your superiors and colleagues, obtained your teaching credentials, and even went back to school to get your Masterâs degree. So, it was much to everyoneâs surprise when you settled on being a Kindergarten teacher. People assumed that because you completed so much schooling, you wanted to be a university professor. However, the thought never even crossed your mind. You always thought Kindergarten teachers were the most impressionable people out there and knew you wanted to be one.
To you, there was no greater responsibility than that of a Kindergarten teacher. It was your responsibility to teach your students reading, writing, art, and music at the most basic level. You showed them how to play with others, how to be kind, and give them the tools necessary to succeed once they leave your classroom. You were the first teacher your students ever had, so you needed to make them fall in love with school instead of hate it, considering theyâd have to stick to it until they were at least eighteen.Â
Youâve been a credentialed Kindergarten teacher for the last three years, and youâve loved every moment of it. You were one of the younger teachers at school, but you never felt left out. Your colleagues were amazing people who often shared tips and tricks they wish they knew when they first started teaching.
Now, you were groggily unlocking the door to your classroom, feeling those first-day-of-school jitters you always felt. You knew kindergarteners werenât there to harshly critique you. Still, you wanted them to go home and tell their parents about how excited they were to have you as a teacher, not run home in tears. That never happened, of course, but you didnât want to take any chances. You drop your keys and mutter a quiet, âShit!â setting your travel mug filled with coffee on the ground and readjust the box of donuts you had for your kids on your hip. As you reach for your keys, you hear a deep voice ask if you need help. You quickly turn around, eyes wide from being startled.
âOh! You scared me,â you place your free hand over your chest. âBut yeah, actually, thatâd be great. Iâm struggling to get my door open.â The man nods, his own keys he wore around his neck jangling as he retrieves first your keys, then your coffee mug.
âIâm Harryâ Mr. Styles, if you want,â he holds your keys out for you to take, your coffee mug still in his large hands. âUh, Iâm the new Kindergarten teacher.â You give him a confused look and trade the box of donuts in your arms for your keys, opening the door. âThe last one, Mrs. Brown, I think it was, I guess she decided a few weeks back that she wanted to retire.â You get your door open and walk inside your classroom, turning on the lights. It was a little stuffy, considering you hadnât been there to open any windows in about a month.
âOh, thatâs right! Welcome,â you give him a warm smile. âIâm Y/Nâ Miss Y/L/N if you want.â A slight blush appears on his cheeks. âWeâre gonna be working together then, it seems. Donât get me wrong, I loved Mrs. Brown, but itâll be nice to collaborate with someone closer to my age, you know?â Harry nods, and you realize he still had your coffee mug and box of donuts in his hands. âYou can just set that on my desk, thanks for helping out. Would you like a donut?â
âUm, I- itâs okay,â he stammers, setting the items down. âSorry, itâs just that Iâll probably crash if I have a donut first thing in the morninâ.â You smile at him and move to open all your windows and the back door, wanting the stuffy classroom to air out a bit before the children got here.Â
âI totally get that,â you giggle, walking back over to your desk. âAre you excited about the first day? I always get a little nervous. I also talk a lot when Iâm nervous, Iâm sure you caught onto that.âÂ
For the first time that morning, Harry laughs. âYeah, Iâm nervous, too. âve never taught in the States before, so this is a bit new to me.â Heâs playing with the keys hanging from his lanyard.Â
âI noticed you had an accent, but I didnât know if it was weird to ask about it. What brings you to California?â You open the box of donuts and take one out, wanting to eat it before it gets cold, and the glaze hardens.
âUh, I went to University here, but when I graduated, I decided to go back home and teach for a couple of years. I really missed being here though and wanted to come back, so I got my credentials, and uh, here I am,â he tells you with a grin, and you notice he has deep dimples.Â
âWell, weâre glad youâre here,â you tell him earnestly. âThe kids are just gonna love your accent, too!â you joke and Harry laughs for the second time that day.Â
âIf all else fails, âm hopinâ to charm everyone over with my accent,â he stares at you for a moment before speaking again. âWell, I better finish getting situated. Itâs fifteen til, and I reckon the children will be arriving soon, yeah?â He asks. You nod.Â
âBest to be waiting at parent drop-off too, there are always a few parents that are just as nervous as their babies, if not more, and could use a quick pep talk.â
âThanks for lettinâ me know. I was thinking about standing out there anyway, just to make a good first impression.â You take another bite of your donut, giving him a thumbs up.Â
âYouâve got this, Harry. I know youâre not completely clueless since youâve taught before, but I know the first day can be a little intimidating. You know where I am if you need anything.â He gives you a grateful smile, quietly thanking you before turning to walk out the door. Youâre left thinking about your new coworker, only being pulled from your thoughts of him when the first bell rings.
âGood morning everyone, my name is Miss Y/L/N. Are you all excited to get this school year started?â A chorus of high-pitched yeses fills the room, and you smile warmly at your class. âIâm so excited that youâre all here! I have a little surprise for each of you!â You grab the box of donuts and walk back to the rug in the center of the room that the children usually sat on for storytime. Little gasps fill your ears, and they all say, âDonuts!â and âYummy!â. You smile at the kids again, already feeling overwhelmed with how adorable they were.Â
âWe all get a donut?â one little girl asks, her eyes wide. You nod at her.
âOf course! Everyone will get a donut, sweetie.â You move to get the plastic food gloves you kept so you can safely hand out a donut to everyone. âOkay guys, Iâm going to pass a stack of napkins around the room. Take one and pass the stack to the person sitting next to you. Does that make sense?â All the students nod their heads in confirmation, so you grab a stack and hand them to the child sitting closest to you. âOnce the last person has their napkin, let me know, and then itâll be donut time!â You say this over-enthusiastically, and the children squirm in their seats in excitement.
As you go around handing out donuts to each of your students, you learn their names and ask them to tell you one fun fact about them. Most children say things like, âI have a brother/sister!â or âI can run really fast!â, and you find it absolutely adorable. One thing you loved the most about teaching five-year-olds was their ability to think everything was cool. It was comforting to know that no matter what you did, theyâd find you cool, and your first-day jitters quickly dissipated. As the children eat their donuts, you read them a story, putting on different voices for all the various characters. You show them how to raise their hand when they have something theyâd like to share and remind them to use their âlistening earsâ when you or one of their classmates are speaking.
When itâs time for recess, you show them how to line up quietly at the door, and assign a line leader and a hall monitor. You remind the children that they will all get a turn at these tasks eventually because itâll switch every week, and not to worry. As youâre walking down the hall backward (one of your teachers walks that youâd finally perfected), you hear Harryâs voice.
âOkay Room Ten, weâre gonna go out to the playground now, where you all will get to play every recess and lunch. That sounds like fun, doesnât it?â He asks them, and you hear little voices chattering out to him in excitement. You canât help but peek into his classroom as you walked by, as his door was open. He didnât see you because he was busy organizing his class into a straight line, so you keep going. Your class, who, much to your surprise, was walking very quietly, got loud once they saw the Kindergarten play area had a slide and monkey bars.
âWe get to play on this?â one of your students, Destiny, questions.Â
âYup! This is a pretty cool play area, isnât it?â They nod and stare at you, waiting for direction. âOh, you can all go play and run around, get some of that energy out. When the bell rings, though, I want you to listen to the yard teachers because theyâre gonna help get you all lined back up so we can go back inside. Deal?â The children give you nods and thumbs up, and you grin at them, telling them to have fun and be nice to one another. As youâre turning to go to the teacherâs lounge to refill your mug of coffee, you see Harry walking down the hallway with his class, and decide to wait for him. He gives his class the same spiel you gave yours and tells them to âTreat each other with kindnessâ before noticing you waiting for him.
âHey,â he gives you a grin, looking far more relaxed than he did when you saw him earlier that morning. âHowâs it going so far?â
âItâs great,â you reply, leading him in the direction of the teacherâs lounge. âTheyâre all adorable.â
âYeah, donât know what I was so nervous foâ. Theyâre great. Also, youâre right,â Harry has an amused look on his face. âThe first thirty minutes of âem beinâ there was just them askinâ me to say things because they think I sound funny.âÂ
âI told you!â you exclaim, laughing at him. âA British accent is definitely not something we hear every day, not here at least.â
âI figured,â he replies, and silence falls between you. âWhere are we going, by the way?â
You stop in front of a blue door and sift through the keys on your lanyard, finally finding the one you were looking for. âTeacherâs lounge. Have you had the chance to check it out yet?â He shakes his head, and you pull open the door after having unlocked it. âAfter you.â He shakes his head and steps back, signaling you go ahead of him. You quirk an eyebrow at him, and he gives you a defensive look.
âWhat? âM a gentleman. Ladies first,â he insists, holding the door open. You walk inside the room, trying to refrain from rolling your eyes. There arenât many teachers in the lounge. You figure they all must be in their classrooms, trying to do some last-minute organization and lesson planning amidst the first day of school chaos. However, a few colleagues that youâre rather fond of are in the room, so you take it upon yourself to introduce them to Harry.
âHello everyone, I hope youâre all having a relaxing morning!â They chuckle lightly at your sarcasm. âIâd like you all to meet Mr. Harry Styles. Heâs the new Kindergarten teacher that took Mrs. Brownâs place.â A look of realization washes over all three teachersâ faces, and they warmly greet him. Harry goes around, shaking each of their hands, voice dripping with charm.
âLovely to meet you all. Looking forward to collaborating,â he tells them quietly. They begin engaging in polite conversation, so you leave Harryâs side, walking over to the coffee station to get what you came for before recess was over. He joins you shortly after, grabbing a disposable cup. âThey were a nice bunch.â He mutters, pouring the steaming coffee into his cup. You hum in agreement.
âEveryone here is nice. The lounge is usually much more crowded than this. Everyone else must be in their rooms,â you flick your wrist up to check the time. âWe got some time to sit down and breathe for a bit if youâd like? Unless you wanted to get back to your room.â
ââM in no rush, trust me,â he tells you, flashing you a small smile. âLetâs take a seat.â Harry walks over to an unoccupied couch and sits down slowly, taking care not to spill his coffee.Â
âYou didnât want a lid?â you question when you see him struggling. He shrugs.
âNot necessary. Jusâ some extra plastic,â you hum and look down at your lap. You were quickly learning that Harry was not a big talker, and he liked to get his point across in as few words as possible. Him being a Kindergarten teacher contradicted heavily with his rather bashful demeanor, but that just made him all the more endearing to you.
âDo you live nearby, or is your commute long?â you ask him after a few moments of silence. As soon as you ask the question, you internally cringe, feeling like it was too invasive. If Harry thought the question was weird, he doesnât show it.
âI live in town. I actually walked here today, believe it or not,â he tells you with a chuckle. âWas such a beautiful morning that I figured I should.â Every time you think Harry canât possibly get any more captivating, he does, and you find yourself biting back a smile.
âHow long is your walk?â You cross your legs and then uncross them, a nervous habit that you had. Harry takes a sip of coffee, mulling your question over.
âIâd say it took me about twenty minutes. I was walkinâ at a pretty leisurely pace, though,â Harry shrugs. âHow about you? Do you live nearby?â
âI also live in town, but Iâm way too lazy to walk, so props to you,â you smile. âThe best thing about living around here is seeing your kids out in public. Itâs the cutest thing.â Harry smiles, not saying anything else. A silence falls over the two of you again but instead of feeling the need to fill it, you just sit beside him, drinking your coffee. Your mind wanders off to what you were going to do for the rest of the school day, if you had enough groceries in your apartment for dinner or if you should go grocery shopping after work, and if you remembered to pay your bills on time. The bell rings to signify the end of recess, and you jump slightly.
âReady to go back?â Harry asks, standing up and walking back over to the coffee station. âThinkâm gonna get a bit more.â You go to stand by the door, waiting for him to pour another cup of coffee. He quickly rejoins you, and the coffee sloshes a bit, some getting on his hand, but he doesnât seem to notice. âHope those lilâ buggers got some of their energy out.â
âRight! Mine was even more hyper than they probably wouldâve been âcause I gave them those donuts this morning,â you laugh. âSo, for my sake, I hope so too.â When you and Harry arrive back at the Kindergarten play area, your classes are already lined up quietly awaiting instruction, thanks to the yard teachers. You and Harry both thank them and move to stand in front of your kids.Â
âMiss Y/L/N,â one of your children calls out from the back of the line. âCan we get more donuts when we go back inside?â You see Harry smile out of the corner of your eye as heâs giving instruction to his class.
âThere are no more donuts, you guys ate them all! I have something even cooler than donuts planned for us, though, okay? Now, remember what I told you all about walking quietly, right? Mr. Line Leader, how does your line look? Do you think weâre all set to go back inside?â The child you appointed line leader turns around to look at everyone, occasionally shushing some people. After a few moments, he turns back to you, giving you a thumbs up.Â
Harry moves to stand beside you, leaning down to whisper in your ear. âWanna eat lunch together and do some planning? I feel like it would be a good idea for us to be teachinâ the same things, more or less.â Your body feels warm all over, and you just look at him and nod, not trusting yourself to speak. Harry smiles and places a hand on your shoulder. At a normal volume, he says, âSee you then, Miss Y/L/N.âÂ
Upon entering Harryâs room, youâre immediately met with the scent of vanilla and the loud hum of the air conditioning. It was bright, adorably decorated, and surprisingly decluttered. It was the polar opposite of your room, and you found it very welcoming and comforting. âNice set-up youâve got going on in here,â you tell him. He jumps in his seat at his desk, not having heard you come in.
âFucks sake,â he mumbles, face going red. âYou scared me. Thanks, though. My sister helped me decorate, I donât really have an eye for this type of stuff.â He rubs the back of his neck, sheepishly.Â
âWell, if you ever need any help decorating for back to school and your sister isnât around, Iâd be more than happy to help.â Harry smiles and suddenly gets up from his chair, offering it to you.
âPlease, take my seat. Iâll just sit in one of the kidsâ chairs,â he rolls it towards you, and you shake your head, about to object, but he interrupts you. âItâs okay, Y/N. Their chairs arenât that bad.â You take the seat Harry was just in, mumbling a quiet thank you. He hums and pulls a tiny chair up beside you, legs scraping loudly across the floor. When he sits down in it, you canât but burst out laughing.
âHarry, that chair is so tiny! Are you sure you donât want me to sit there instead? You look so uncomfortable,â you tell him in between laughs. âThis is your classroom, after all, Iâm just a guest.â Harry shakes his head, cheeks flushed.
âItâs okay, Y/N, really. âM perfectly comfortable in this lilâ miniature chair,â he looks at the lunch bag you sat on his desk. âWhatâs for lunch?â You reach for your sack and unzip it, pulling out a pre-packaged salad from Trader Joeâs.
âIâm very lazy when it comes to packing my lunches,â you admit sheepishly, pulling out a fork. âHow about you? Did you eat already?â
âOh yeah, I had a green smoothie. Not a big lunch guy,â he replies calmly. âWanna get started with planning? I think we only have about thirty minutes left.â He looks down at his watch to confirm the time. Harry opens his planner, and you see pages filled with his neat, blocky scrawl. He jumps right into talking about the ideas he had in mind, excitement filling his voice that you havenât yet heard.Â
The passion and enthusiasm he has for teaching are evident through the way he tells you about the activities he has planned, new materials and teaching methods he wants to try implementing, and things heâs tried before that didnât work out the way he wanted them to. He asks you for your advice and listens intently when you speak, jotting down notes.
You find yourself having to mentally remind yourself not to stare at him. He was a handsome manâ there was no denying that. He had curly brown hair, soft and wild-looking, the most beautiful green eyes youâd ever seen, and arms covered in tattoos. You also noticed he had the tiniest cross on his left hand. You wanted to ask him about it, but you figured that was a conversation for another time.Â
âY/N? Did you hear what I just said,â Harry asks, giving you a concerned look. âAre you alright? I think you just zoned out for a couple minutes or somethinâ.â You nod quickly, feeling your palms growing sweaty.
âOh yeah, sorry, I was just thinking about something I have to do later. What did you just say?â You play off how you were just wholly drooling over your new coworker, feeling scrutinized under his piercing gaze.
âJusâ got an email from the principal. Said we have a faculty meetinâ after school at three. Wanna go together?â He asks. You know Harryâs asking you to accompany him primarily because youâre the only person he really knows so far. However, it still makes you feel warm and special. âHe said weâre gonna go over some planning for the Fall Festival. Whatâs that?â
âOh, itâs just the back-to-school festival. Itâs adorable,â you explain. âItâs like a mini carnival that we have right here on the playground. Every year they have teachers host booths. Itâs a great way to get to meet your kidsâ parents and bond with the other faculty.â Harry nods, standing up from the tiny chair right as the bell signifying the end of lunch rings.
âThat sounds lovely,â he chirps, smiling down at you. âWeâre gonna have the best booth out of everyone Y/N, trust me.â He jokes, the corner of his eyes crinkling. This was the most Harry had talked since you met him that morning and you were enjoying witnessing him open up to you more and more with each conversation shared.
âIt is,â you stand up as well, gathering your trash and empty lunch pail. âThanks for having me, Harry. Next time we can meet in my room. I wouldnât mind making this a daily thing.â As soon as the words came out of your mouth, you physically wince, figuring Harry had to think you were obsessed with him at this point. He looks down, the corners of his mouth upturned when he makes eye contact with you again.
âIâd like that, Y/N. Iâll actually start bringinâ a proper lunch, so youâre not the only one eating,â you smile. âIâll meet you in your room after school?â You nod in confirmation, walking out the door in front of him.Â
âSee ya later.â
âDid everyone have a good day today?â You ask your class, walking backward to the dismissal gate. Youâre met with a chorus of cheerful sounding âyeses,â and you place your hand over your heart in a dramatic fashion. âThat makes me so happy, everyone! Youâre all incredible little people, and I think weâre gonna have a fantastic year. What do you guys think?â The children chatter excitedly, glad to have made it through their first day of school and see their parents on the other side of the gate eagerly awaiting them, cell phones snapping pictures.Â
Harryâs already at the gate, waiting for the bell to ring so he can dismiss his class. Heâs walking down the line asking each of the children if they see who theyâre supposed to go home with, crouching down to their height so they can point them out to him. Some children in his class look a little upset because they donât see their parents yet. Harry quickly consoles them, telling them they can all play a fun game together while they wait for their âMummies and Daddies.â
You do the same with your kids, and by the time the bell rings and you finish dismissing the ones who saw someone there to pick them up, there was one child from your class who was still waiting and two from Harryâs. He walks over to you, one of their tiny hands in each of his. The boy looks unbothered, but the girl was beginning to cry.
âHey, Ava, should we ask Miss Y/L/N and her friend if they want to play iSpy with us? The more, the merrier, isnât that right?â He looks down at her, and she nods, looking down. You figure sheâs one of his more shy students he was telling you about earlier.
âHi, sweetie! Iâm Miss Y/L/N, are you waiting for your mom or dad?â She nods, biting her lip. You turn and gesture to your one student who was waiting as well. âWell, so is she! Donât worry, theyâll be here.â
âIâm Matthew,â the little boy holding Harryâs other hand informs you, shifting from foot to foot. You give him a big smile.
âHello, Matthew! I love your Spiderman shirt; heâs just the coolest. Jade, do you want to introduce yourself to Mr. Styles, Ava, and Matthew? Remember when we learned about introductions today in class? When you got to introduce yourself to all your classmates?â
Jade nods, a big, toothy grin on her face. âHi! My name is Jade, and I am five-years-old but my birthday is September 19th, so Iâm actually almost six-years-old,â she tells them matter-of-factly. âItâs very nice to meet you!â She adds, remembering the script you gave them earlier. Harry looks down at her, an impressed look on his face.
âWell, it is very lovely to meet you too, Jade! Do we all know how to play iSpy?â Jade and Matthew shout in excitement, but Ava just grips tighter onto Harryâs hand. He looks down at her again. âDo yâ want Miss Y/L/N and I to show you how to play, Ava?â His voice is very quiet, slow, and soothing. She nods, letting go of his hand.
âWell Ava,â you say, looking around for something to start the game out with. âI would say, âI spy with my little eye something green. Then you, Mr. Styles, Matthew, and Jade, would have to look around and name out everything thatâs green. If you name something and itâs not it, then I will tell you nope, and you can try again, but if you figure it out, then youâre the winner! Does that make sense?â
She nods, and you see a gleam of excitement in her eyes. âCan I go first?â She asks quietly. You tell her, yes, and she looks around quickly, trying to find something to say. âI spy with my little eye something blue!â She has a triumphant smile on her face, and even though you immediately know sheâs talking about the sky and youâre sure Harry does too, you both decide to take a step back and let the children take the game into their own hands.
âYâknow, that lilâ introduction Jade gave was really somethinâ. I didnât even think about teachinâ my kids that. Think Iâll try that out tomorrow,â Harry whispers, craning his neck slightly to be at your ear. You shiver at the feeling of his warm breath against your skin.Â
âYeah, I feel like thatâs always a good first day of school activity for them to do. A lot of them have never really been exposed to people outside of their immediate family, so theyâre not too sure how to talk to others.â Harry hums, standing back up straight.
âMr. Styles,â Matthew calls, running over to Harry. âMy mommy is here. Can I go now?â Harry nods, telling Matthew to wait for him so he can say hi to his mother. You watch as he walks away, overhearing as he tells the boyâs mother what a great job he did today and how heâs so excited to go through this school year with him in his class. Ten minutes later, Jade and Ava are gone as well, and Harry locks the dismissal gate.Â
âI forgot how exhausting the first day could be,â he tells you, letting out a quiet sigh. âReady to go to that meeting, though? Itâs just about three.â You check your watch and see the time read at 2:57 PM.
âYeah, just let me grab my bag, and we can head over there. Iâm really hoping this wonât take too long; I was planning on going grocery shopping after this,â you walk down the hall towards your classroom and feel Harryâs gaze on you.
âWhere do you like to go grocery shopping?â he asks after a few moments of silence. âI need to pick up some groceries this week, too. âve been eatinâ takeout for the past week, and Iâm starting to feel like shit.â You laugh, unlocking your door. Harry stands outside, holding it open while you grab your purse and lunch bag.
âHonestly, I donât have a preference. I switch it up a lot,â you shrug, making sure all the windows are closed before walking out. âWas there something, in particular, you were looking for?â
âUh,â Harry scratches the back of his head. âNo? Maybe you could text me a list of all your favorite stores, though. Jusâ so I wonât forget.â
You quirk an eyebrow at him, ignoring how fast your heart was beating. âAre you asking for my number, Mr. Styles?â
âI guess I am,â he replies nonchalantly. âWeâre gonna be workinâ together a lot. Might as well have your numberâ if thatâs okay, I mean.â He looks down at you.
âYeah, remind me after the meeting,â you tell him, trying your hardest to play it cool. âDonât let me forget.â
âTrust me, I wonât.â
âSo Y/N and Harry, you two will be in charge of the pumpkin decorating booth? Is that right?â The principal looks down at his notes and then shifts his gaze between the both of you. You both nod.
âYeah, Iâm excited! I think itâll be a lot of fun,â you reply excitedly. âWe can go to the craft store and get a bunch of paints, but where do you think the best place to get the pumpkins would be?â You pull out your planner, ready to jot down any suggestions.
âYou two could try going to a pumpkin patch? Theyâre starting to pop-up around town,â one teacher suggests. âIâm sure if you purchased a bunch and told them it was for a school event, we could get some kind of deal.â The rest of the faculty buzzes in agreement.
âY/N and Harry, could you get to a pumpkin patch sometimes this week and see if they can give us an estimate of how much it would cost? Then I could let the PTA know.â You and Harry confirm that it will be possible to do sometime this week, and the meeting continues on.
By the time youâre finally free to leave the meeting, itâs already growing dark outside. Harryâs hands are shoved in his pockets, and heâs looking down at his feet. âSoââ
âDo you wantââ
You both stop, laughing awkwardly. âYou go first.â you tighten the grip on your purse.
âUh, I was jusâ gonna ask if I could get your number now. Yanno, so we can plan when weâre gonna go get all the stuff for our booth? And you still gotta tell me what your favorite grocery stores are,â he has a playful look in his eyes. For the thousandth time that day, your hands become clammy. There was just something about every interaction you had with him that made you so nervous.Â
âOh yeah,â you answer coolly, digging in your purse for your phone. âJust text your number, so I have it.â You hand him his phone, and he stops dead in his tracks, a look of concentration on his face.Â
âI canât walk and be on the phone at the same time,â he mutters when he looks back up and realizes you were watching him the whole time. âI donât know how people do it.â He hands you back your phone. âWhat were yâ gonna ask me?â
âI was just um, I was gonna ask if you wanted me to give you a ride home? I mean, since you walked to work today and itâll be dark soon,â talking to Harry made you feel like a nervous school girl interacting with her first crush, and you hated that feeling.
âI couldnât ask you to do thatââ
âItâs no bother, really,â you cut him off, and you realize you sound a little eager, but at that point, you didnât even care. âIâm sure we donât live too far from each other.â Harry looks slightly unsure but nods, and you let out a breath you didnât even know you were holding.
âIf youâre sure, Y/N. I appreciate it, I owe you one,â heâs following behind you to the teacher parking lot. You silently pray your car isnât messy inside like it usually is as you approach it. You decide to pick up your pace and walk ahead of him, telling yourself if the passenger side was messy, youâd just quickly throw everything in the back. âHeyyyy, whyâre you walkinâ so fast? Are you sure youâve got the time to take me home?â He takes a few big strides and quickly catches up with your hurried, tiny ones.
âYeah, of course, I have time,â you respond, unlocking your car as you approach it. âIf itâs messy, then just ignore it.â you preface, honestly not remembering the state in which you left your car this morning when you walked into work.
âDonât worry about it. You should see mine,â Harry jokes, and it immediately puts you at ease. As youâre about to open your door, Harry quickly rushes to your side, opening it himself. âLet me.âÂ
His hand rests over yours, and you quickly pull it away, your body heating up. âHarry, Iâm already right here. I can open my own car door.âÂ
âI know you can. But Iâm a gentleââÂ
âYouâre a gentleman, I know,â you playfully roll your eyes and take a step back, allowing Harry to open your car door all the way. You couldnât lie and say you werenât flattered and honestly a little bit turned on. He flashes you a smile as you situate yourself behind the wheel of the car and makes sure youâre all the way in before slamming it shut. You see him lightly jog around to the passenger side, and soon enough, heâs beside you, your car immediately starting to smell like his cologne.Â
âWhat music do you like to listen to?â Harry asks, pulling his phone out of his pocket.Â
âYou ask me a lot of random questions, Harry,â you reply, looking behind you as you slowly back out.Â
âIs it a crime to wanna get to know my new coworker?â you can hear a smile in his voice. âCâmon. Whatâs your favorite music to listen to?âÂ
You shrug, looking both ways before exiting the parking lot. âWhere do you live?âÂ
âI donât know my address yet. Just take a left at this light coming up. Favorite music?â Out of the corner of his eye, you see him scrolling through his music library.Â
âYou donât know your address yet?âÂ
âNo. Iâll play something random,â he says, tapping his hand on his knee. âYou can take a right at that stop sign up there.â You put on your blinker and glance over your shoulder before switching lanes. Harry quickly pairs his phone with your Bluetooth, and a song youâre unfamiliar with blares through your speakers. Neither one of you says anything else, only speaking to each other when heâs giving you directions to his house, and youâre confirming what he said.
After two more songs, Harry says, âSâright up here.â Heâs led you to a beautiful apartment complexâ one you were looking at when you were moving out of your parentâs home but just couldnât afford as a new graduate. You expertly parallel park and then turn the car off, a silence falling between the two of you.
âThis is a nice complex,â you tell him after a moment. âReally close to school. I see why you opted to walk to work today.âÂ
âMhm,â he hums. His seatbelt is still fastened. âI understand if youâre busy, but did you wanna come in?â You raise an eyebrow at him, and he quickly backtracks. âI meanâ itâs justâ remember the activity you taught your kids today? About introductions? Jusâ wanted to know if you could walk me through it, thatâs all.âÂ
âOh. Well yeah, I can hang out for a bit.â You unbuckle your seatbelt and reach in the backseat for your purse that you threw haphazardly over your shoulder earlier.Â
âWill your boyfriend be okay with you coming in, though?â Heâs chewing on the inside of his cheek.
âWhat makes you think I have a boyfriend?â Youâre slightly taken aback and oddly flattered that he thought you were in a relationship.
âI dunno,â his face grows red. âYou got all weird when I opened doors for ya. Figured you had a boyfriend.â
âI donât.â
âCool.â More silence falls, this time an awkward one.
âShould we go inside now?â you unlock the doors, quickly getting out of the car. Harry follows behind you and waits for you to walk onto the sidewalk before going up the walkway.
âHow close do you live to me?â Harry asks, punching in his gate code. He pulls the gate open and gestures for you to go ahead of him. You decide not to comment on it this time.
âA couple blocks away. I could probably walk over here if I was in the mood to,â Harry shuts the gate behind you and walks over to the first set of stairs, taking them two at a time. âI was interested in this complex when I was moving out of my parentsâ but I settled on something else.â He hums, stopping in front of the first door at the top of the stairs. Thereâs a brown âWelcome!â mat outside his door, along with a few potted plants.
âHere we are,â he looks over his shoulder as if heâs checking if youâre still there. âExcuse the boxes. âM not done unpacking yet.â He pushes open the door and steps in, quickly turning on the light. Youâre met with the same sweet scent of vanilla thatâs in his classroom. Considering he was in the process of unpacking, his apartment was reasonably tidy.
âIt looks good in here,â your heart felt like it was going to beat out of your chest. You were in your coworkerâs house that you just met that day, and you could already feel yourself developing a crush on him. There was obviously no way youâd let this relationship progress past anything strictly professional, but that didnât mean you werenât allowed to admire his beauty.
âThanks,â he gives you a smile, relief washing over his face. âYou can set your bag down if you want. Take a seat, make yourself at home.â He leaves the room, and you hear him rattling around in the kitchen. âCan I get you anything to drink? Wine? Coffee? Tea?â
âCoffee sounds great,â you reply. You set your purse down on his coffee table and sit on the edge of his couch, inspecting his living room closer. There were two books on the table, both flipped upside down as a way to mark his page. There were a few more plants inside, similar to the ones in front of his door. There was a framed picture of him with two beautiful women you assumed to be his mother and sister. Harry comes back into the room a few minutes later, two steaming cups of black coffee in hand.
âHere you are, Miss Y/L/N,â he puts on an exaggerated posh accent, and you giggle.
âWhy thank you, Mr. Styles,â you respond in the same voice. âDo you have cream and sugar?â
He wrinkles his nose. âI think I might have sugar. Is oat milk, okay? I donât have cream.â He goes back to his kitchen to retrieve the items before you can tell him itâs okay, and youâll just drink it black. You thank him, pouring the tiniest splash of oat milk into your coffee. You can feel his eyes on you as you add a bit of sugar, stir, taste, and then add some more.
âSo,â you begin after your coffee is made to your liking. âWhat did you think about your first day? You can be honest since weâre not on campus anymore.â Harry laughs, looking down at his fingernails.
âUh,â he starts. You notice he says, âuhâ a lot. âIt was terrific. Not so sure I wouldâve felt the same way if I didnât have you to help me through it.âÂ
âWeâre partners in crime now, Harry. Weâre the two Kindergarten teachers, and youâre the only other person there my age? Weâve definitely gotta stick together,â you give him a big smile. He doesnât smile back but looks a bit troubled instead. You wait for him to speak, coming to accept that long pauses were just a thing when having a conversation with Harry.
âYâknow how I assumed you had a boyfriend earlier? I thought after Iâd said thatââ rather I hoped after I said that youâd be like,â he clears his throat. ââWhy, no! I donât have a boyfriend. Do you have a girlfriend?ââ He put on the worst American accent youâd ever heard to imitate your voice, causing you to laugh. âTo which I wouldâve replied with a simple âno.ââÂ
Now itâs your turn to leave Harry wondering what youâre thinking for the first time all day. You can feel his eyes on you as you look at his couch cushions, noticing a bit of crumbs that you hadnât seen before. âAre you flirting with me?â
âI think youâre beautiful.â
âYou donât even know me. We just met today.â
âDoes that mean I canât think youâre beautiful?â
You bite your lip, feeling yourself starting to grow a bit turned on by his forwardness. There was a part of you that would risk it all for just one night in bed with Harry because you just found him that attractive. The rational, adult side of you was screaming, âDonât mix business with pleasure!â. By now, you had both moved closer on the couch to one another, knees nearly touching. âI think youâre beautiful, too.â He grins, setting his coffee cup down. You do the same.
âWould it be crazy of me to tell you that I really wanna kiss you right now?â His face is mere inches from yours, so close that you could smell the coffee on his breath. You shake your head.
âNo. I really wanna kiss you too.â
âCâ mere, then.âÂ
Harry leans forward a bit more until his lips are ghosting over yours. You pull at the collar of his shirt, bringing his already close body even closer to yours. His lips are softer than they look, and heâs a better kisser than you thought heâd be, too. He brings his hands up to tangle them in your hair, and thatâs when you abruptly pull away, not wanting things to go too far. âWe shouldnâtâŠâ He looks at you with sad eyes, but he nods, understanding what you mean.
âProbably not the best idea?â his response comes out as more of a question than a statement, but you nod in agreement anyway.
âDefinitely not. Iâm umââ Iâm actually gonna go,â you stand up, slinging your purse over your shoulder. âThanks for the coffee, Harry. Iâll see you tomorrow?â
âYeah, seeâââ
Youâre out the door, rushing down the stairs before he can even finish his sentence.
The rest of the school week goes on without either one of you mentioning it. Itâs a little awkward for a couple of days, but by the time Friday rolls around, both of you decide the best course of action to take regarding the kiss would be to act like it never happened.Â
Youâre in your room at lunch hanging up your kidsâ artwork they made during their âFree Timeâ this morning, having declined Harryâs lunch invitation for the fourth time that week. You decided to pretend to be busy with work so you wouldnât be too tempted to go into his room. To most people, youâre sure it looked like you were avoiding himââ and maybe you were. However, you were trying to get over this crush on him in the best way that you knew how.
âNeed some help?â
You jump, nearly falling backward off the stepstool you were on. âHoly shit, Harry! You scared the hell out of me!â You feel your body getting warm, and you quickly look away, not wanting him to see how flustered you were.
âSorry, you werenât answering my texts, so I decided to come see what you were up to,â he walks over to where you were standing and hands you a piece of art, smiling at it before handing it to you. âYouâve got some artists in your class.â
âMhm,â you hum, not looking him in the eyes. You hear him let out a quiet sigh.
âStill able to go see about getting those pumpkins ordered after work?â
You had completely forgotten that you and Harry decided today would be the day youâd go get the pumpkin situated figured out for your booth. For a second, you consider making an excuse to get out of it, but you decide against it. This was something that both of you were asked to do, not just him, and you didnât want the fact that you let your attraction to him cloud your judgment getting in the way of your professional responsibilities.
âYeah, that works.â
He doesnât say anything, and even though youâre not looking at him, you can see the gears in his head turning. âShould we talkâââÂ
Youâre quite literally saved by the bell, the end of lunch interrupting where you knew he was about to lead the conversation. âIâll see you after school? Did you walk here again? I can drive.â Harry nods slowly.
âUh, yeah. he replies. âI walked. Uh, âm gonna go get my kids. See you after school then?â
âYup!â you respond, fake enthusiasm in your voice. Harry gives you one more look before walking out of your room. You wait until heâs all the way down the hall before following behind him to bring your class back inside. You knew you were the one making things awkward between you and Harry. However, the realistic part of you knew getting involved with your coworker was one of the worst ideas youâd ever had in your life. For now, youâd just tell yourself that you were probably more into Harry than he was into you and pray that would be enough to make you get over your crush.
âI havenât been to a pumpkin patch since I was a kid.â Harry stuffs his hands farther into his pockets while yours are tightly hugging your chest. You hum, not saying anything. The car ride there was a little awkward, and you were glad it was so short. You could tell there was a lot Harry wanted to say, but you were glad he wasnât saying it. You keep seeing him glance at you, but you pretend not to notice.
âWhat size pumpkins should we ask for? Small ones, huh?â Harry nods, looking around in childlike awe. There was a small petting zoo, booths selling warm drinks and kettle corn, and an obscene amount of children.
You walk around together for a moment before encountering a friendly-looking employee who looked like he could help you out. Harry takes over, explaining the situation, and why you need to order one hundred tiny pumpkins. While youâre waiting for the employee to ask the owner if that would even be possible, Harry turns to face you.
âY/N? Can we talk about what happened on Monday?â youâre about to tell him that youâd rather not, but he continues. âI felt something during that kiss, Y/N. Iâm not sure if you felt it too, but I donât want things to be awkward between us. We have to get through an entire school year working side-by-side, and if youâre not interested, then I respect that one hundred percent, but I just wantâââ
âSo the owner said that is possible!â The employee that was helping you out comes back with a form and clipboard in their hand. âCan you just fill out some information and let us know what time you need it tomorrow? The owner said he could get it delivered and give you guys a discount since youâre ordering so much.â
âThatâs great!â you exclaim, taking the form from him. You were glad to have been saved from your conversation with Harry. You quickly go through and fill out everything you can, telling them they can bill your schoolâs PTA.Â
The walk back to your car is silent. Youâre replaying what Harry was saying to you over in your head, thinking about what he was going to say before he was interrupted. He opens your car door like heâs been doing, but he doesnât make eye contact with you or say a word as he slides into the passenger seat.
âYâcan just drop me off,â Harry says quietly. He leans your seat back and closes his eyes. You wait to see if heâll connect his phone, but he doesnât, so you turn on the radio at a volume so low it almost canât be heard. It takes everything in you not to speed back to his place. You just wanted him out of your car. You had such strong feelings for him that it physically hurt, and restraining yourself from telling him how you really felt was growing harder and harder.
âWeâre here.â your voice is a little hoarse from not saying anything. Harry slowly opens his eyes and unbuckles his seatbelt, opening the door.
âRight. Thanks for the ride. What time do we need to be at school to set up our booth by?â
âFour. I can pick you up if you want?â
âYeah. See you tomorrow, Y/N.â He closes the door and walks up to his gate without looking back at you once.
âHi Miss Y/L/N! Hi Mr. Styles!â
Groups of your students had been coming up to you excitedly all evening. It made you happy to see that the Kindergarten classes were no longer divided. They were starting to hang out with one another. Their parents tell you how their children thought it was just the coolest thing to be on school grounds on a Saturday, and how even though it was only a week into the school year, they were having the best time. It was comments like this that made you fall in love with your job all over again.
Things between you and Harry were going well. It wasnât awkward, but you think it was because you were both too busy helping children paint their pumpkins. You were glad that Harry didnât take the bit of downtime the two of you had when no one was at your booth trying to talk about the kiss and instead talked about other random things instead. You find out he loves baking (specifically, bread), he has an obsession with old music, and has about fifty tattoos. He talks to his mom on the phone every day, and he is extremely close to his sister. You tell him about your parentsâ, your undergraduate experience, your hobbies, and you finally tell him what music you like to listen to.
The festival quickly comes to an end, and you find yourself sad once you and Harry are done cleaning up your booth, knowing that you were just going to drop him off at his apartment and go back to yours to spend another Saturday night alone. You get to his complex almost too quickly, and you almost want to keep going and pretend you accidentally missed it just to be with him a bit longer. Instead, you park.
âDâya wanna come inside?â He blurts out. Even in the darkness of your car, you can tell his face is flushed. âI mean if you havenât got plans. I know itâs a Saturday night, so I understand ifâââ
âNope, I donât have plans. Iâd love to.â Your hands are shaky as you unbuckle your seatbelt. He quickly gets out of your car and runs around to your side, opening the door for you before you can do it yourself. You almost donât even notice since it was becoming such a habit.
âI picked up this new bottle of wine a couple days ago thatâve been wanting to pop open. Think we deserve a glass or two after such a long week, hmm?â You wordlessly nod, wholly mesmerized with just how good Harry looked after such a long day of work. His curls fell perfectly across his forehead, his eyes were sparkling and full of excitement.Â
âA glass of wine sounds great,â you reply with a chuckle. âIâm ready to drink a whole bottle by the end of the week if Iâm being honest.â Harry laughs, quickly punching in his gate code. You could see his hands shaking a little bit, but you decide not to comment on it. He takes the stairs up to his apartment two at a time like he did last time you were there, but this time thereâs an urgency and clumsiness to his actions that you havenât seen before. He jams the key in his lock, quickly shoving the door open.
His apartment is a little messier than it was when you were in it at the beginning of the week, but itâs nothing disgusting. He runs his fingers through his curls, moving aside papers that were scattered along the length of the couch. âSorry, I was doinâ some planning. Make yourself comfortable.â He disappears to the kitchen, and moments later, you hear the pop of a wine cork and the smooth sound of him pouring the alcohol into glasses.
He emerges from his kitchen, handing you a generously poured glass of wine. âThanks, Harry,â you tell him before taking a big sip. It was sweet, and while you usually preferred a more dry wine, it was still delicious.Â
âCheers to the end of a successful first week,â he holds up his glass, and you smile, clinking yours with his. âThanks for helpinâ me get through it, Y/N. Couldnât have done it without you.â You give him a timid smile.
âStop, Harry. Youâre a great teacher. I can see your kids love you already,â you take another sip of wine. âI kinda do too. I meanââ that came out wrong. I donât love you, but I do think I like you.â You didnât know what came over you at that moment, but something told you now was the time to lay it all out on the table with Harry. He sets his glass of wine down, the biggest smile on his face.
âReally? I thought you werenât interested. Was kinda startinâ to feel like you hate me,â he sounds a little sad. You shake your head.
âQuite the opposite, actually. Iâm really into you,â you didnât even realize how youâd inched your way towards Harry. âIâve been trying not to think about how we kissed because we shouldnât, you know? Weâre coworkers. Iâve been trying not to think about it all week, though, and I just canât get you out of my mind.â He stares intensely into your eyes, chewing on the inside of his cheek like he usually does when heâs thinking.
âCan I kiss you, Y/N?â he finally asks. Youâre in the same position as you were last time, being mere inches away from the otherâs lips. Only this time, you smell the wine on his breath, not coffee. You nod quickly, and Harry cups your face in his hands, hungrily pressing his lips against yours.
âYou can do more than kiss me, actually,â you tell him breathlessly. âYou can do whatever you want with me.â
Harry raises an eyebrow, a shocked look on his face. âWhen you say anythingâŠâ he trails off.
âI want you to fuck me, Harry,â you tell him bluntly. âPlease. Been wanting that all week.â He licks his lips, looking at you in a way he hasnât yet before.Â
âI can definitely do that,â he replies, resting his hand on your thigh. His large hand is dangerously close to your pussy, and you can already feel yourself growing wet. âLetâs get all these clothes off you then, huh?âÂ
You stand up and quickly start removing your clothes. First, your blouse comes off, and thatâs quickly followed by your bra. Harryâs leaning back on the couch, arms resting behind his head. âEnjoying the show?â you ask, quickly pulling down your jeans and underwear. Youâre completely naked in front of him in thirty seconds flat, and you reckon thatâs the fastest youâve ever undressed for anything.Â
âVery much so,â he mumbles, palming himself over his khakis. âCâ mere, Y/N.â he pats his lap, and you move to sit in it, now straddling him. He softly presses his lips against yours, the hunger that was there just a moment ago completely dissipated. This was a much more hesitant kiss, more gentle and tender. âYouâre really beautiful, Y/N.â
You giggle. âI know. Youâve told me that before.â
âI want you to know how much I mean it.â
âI know you do.â
Harry nods. âCan I have a taste of ya now?â you notice that his accent sounds a bit thicker than usual, voice a tad gruffer. You nod, swallowing thickly. Climbing off Harry, you lay back on the couch, situating yourself, so itâs a little more comfortable. He looks into your eyes, placing his hands on your knees. âIs this okay, Y/N?â You nod again, and he removes his hands.
âWhatâs wrong?â your voice has a hint of desperation in it, but after a week of extreme sexual tension, you wanted nothing more than to cum by the hands of this man.
âWanna hear you tell me itâs okay. I donât wanna do anything you donât want,â heâs looking down at his hands.
âHarry, I wouldnât have given you a striptease and laid back on this couch for you if I didnât want it. I wholeheartedly give you permission to do whatever you want with meâââ
Thatâs enough for him. He roughly pries your legs open, immediately licking a long stripe up your heat. You cry out, not expecting him to get right into it. You look down at him and groan when you see heâs making eye contact with you, a smug look on his face. âHowâs thaâ, love?â You nod, tangling your hands in his curls.
âYeah Harry, please,â you moan. Harry sucks harshly at your clit, pulling off loudly, the sound echoing throughout his minimally furnished apartment.
âPlease what, pet?â Heâs looking you dead in the eyes, a devilish grin on his face while his index finger rubs small circles on your clit. Your chest is heaving up and down quickly as you try to calm your breathing down.
âPlease make me cum on your tongue, Harry,â you try pushing his head back down to your cunt, but he doesnât budge.
âThink I rather like hearinâ you beg like this foâ me. Enjoyinâ watching you squirm like thaâ, love.â Just as your about to beg for him some more to feed his inflated ego, he attaches his lips to your clit once more, this time adding his ring finger into your tight pussy. âYouâre tight. Sure youâll be able to take my cock?â His voice is muffled, and you just barely make out what he says.
You clench around his finger, and he laughs, the vibrations sending a new sensation across your clit. âYâlike thinkinâ about my cock, hmm?â
âYeah, want you in me,â you beg, lifting your hips up. He grips onto your hips tightly, keeping you in place.
âCan feel yeh gettinâ ready for me, darlinâ. Think you can take another one?â You nod, and Harry gently places kitten licks on your swollen clit while he slowly pushes his middle finger into you. You feel full in a way you havenât felt in such a long time, and he only had two fingers in you. Once he pumps his fingers in and out of you a few times, he goes back to harshly sucking on his clit, moaning every so often so you can feel the vibrations against your cunt.
âFuck,â youâre moaning loudly, and you pray Harryâs neighbors donât hear you, knowing how thin apartment walls were.
âSo fuckinâ wet for me, doll,â he mutters, adding another finger inside you. The burn feels amazing, and you place your hand on his wrist, urging him to go faster. âGonna cum in my mouth, hmm? Gonna let me feel ya around mâ fingers?â
âYes, please, Harry,â you feel yourself nearly there, your orgasm threatening to overtake you at any moment.Â
âGive it to me then, Y/N. Cum for me,â he demands. As soon as he says those three words, youâre done for, your body going tense as waves of pleasure roll throughout your body. He doesnât remove his digits from the your cunt until youâre coming down from your high, placing a kiss to your clit. He laughs as you shudder at the overstimulation. Harry places his three fingers that were just inside of you and his mouth and sucks on them, not once breaking eye contact with you.Â
âThat was really good,â you tell him, crawling on your knees towards him to place a kiss on the underside of his jawâHarryâs beaming, a triumphant look on his face.
âNot yet. Gotta make yâ cum one more time. Iâm a gentleman, after all.â You know heâs messing with you but also serious, so you lean back on the couch, opening your legs once again.
âAre you gonna take off your clothes too? Why am I the only one thatâs naked?â Harry laughs, and you hear the clanking of his belt as he undoes it.Â
âYouâre impatient, arenât ya?â you nod, and he pulls down his tenting khakis and tight boxers. His cock springs up, slightly touching his stomach, and he hisses at the feeling. âHold on a sec.â He gets up quickly, and you hear him hurry to what you assume in the bathroom, rummaging around. He comes back a minute later with a box of condoms, making you laugh.
âIs that a new box of condoms? Have you been holding onto those all week, Mr. Styles?â Harry rolls his eyes and opens the box, ripping open a condom expertly with his teeth.
âWerenât you just the one begginâ for me, pet? Iâd watch it if I were you,â he jokes, rolling the condom onto his hard length. He leans down to place wet, opened mouth kisses to your breasts. âSo beautiful.â
âAre you gonna take off your shirt?â you ask quietly. âI kinda wanna see all your tattoos.â Harry raises an eyebrow at you but unbuttons his shirt nevertheless, throwing it into the mess of clothes scattered around the living room. You reach your hand up, shakily tracing the swallows on his chest, moving down to the butterfly across his stomach and finally to the ferns on his abdomen. Harryâs staring down at you, watching as you delicately touch his skin. âYou have so many.â you finally say. He nods.
âYeah. Some of them I just got for the hell of it. Felt like after I got that first tattoo, it was hard to stop.â He caresses the skin on your thighs, and you shudder again. âGonna let me get inside that pretty lilâ cunt now?â
âPlease.â
Harry aligns himself with your entrance and slowly pushes into you, sharply inhaling as you clench around his length. âRelax, Y/N.âve got ya,â he tells you reassuringly. âCanât get inside ya if youâre all tense like thaâ.â You can tell Harryâs trying his hardest not to absolutely wreck you, the vein in his forehead very prominent from clenching his jaw so tightly. You grip tightly onto his bicep, biting your lip as you adjust to his size. You were so wet and indescribably turned on that you felt every vein his thick cock had to offer, and you knew you wouldnât last long once he started moving. By the looks of it, Harry wouldnât either.
âYou can move,â you tell him, squeezing your eyes shut. Harry slowly pulls out of you and then ever so gently sinks back inside you, bottoming out. He lets out a breathy moan, moving one of his hands up to tweak your nipples. âHarder, Harry, fuck.âÂ
He immediately pulls out of you and slams back inside, the sounds of his balls slapping against your ass echoing in the room. You scream in pleasure, no longer caring if his neighbors hear what you two were doing.Â
âLike thaâ?â He asks cheekily, working up a steady rhythm. You nod, gripping your boobs to keep them from bouncing. Harry shakes his head, forcefully removing your hands. âNope, none of that. Wanna see âem.â He takes both of your hands in one of his, pinning them up over your head. His other hand reaches in between your bodies to rub at your clit, and before you have time to warn him, youâre cumming again, squirting all over his cock.Â
Harry throws his head back in pleasure, his thrusts getting sloppy and frantic, and you know heâs seconds away from his own orgasm. You spur him on, telling him how badly you wanted him to come inside of you (even though he was wearing a condom). He stills moments later, shaking above you as he holds himself up with an arm, not wanting to collapse on top of you.
âFuckinâ hell, Y/N. Why did we wait a whole week to do this again?â

For your song prompt: how about the 'Boatem' crew? (Scar, Grian, Mumbo, Impulse, and Pearl.)
OK Gonna put some of this under a cut cause. oh boy this turned out really long LMAO
For Scar:
-Dirty Imbecile by The Fits
+Yeah I know it says the word "scar" a lot but honestly thats not why I chose the song- This is the first song in the sfgg playlist actually!! its always fit my scar! especially the lyrics, "All these things ive tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young. So don't tell me what to fear in the darkness of this atmosphere!"
Also funny thing I misheard "be young" as "be yours". Didn't realize this until i looked up the lyrics as im writing this LOL
-Space Shanty by Live at Solace
+It's a funny human space shanty! That's really all there is to it, I just like imagining Scar singing this and the crew having NO idea whats happening but still having a blast
-Bones in the Ocean by The Longest Johns
+Vacation arc Scar! Ow! Singer is Scar in this case and his shipmates are of course the crew- They aren't actually dead but I think it reflects his process of coping while trapped in the watcher citadel and wondering where his friends are
For Grian:
-Starlight Brigade by TWRP
+I actually wrote a SFGG fic based on this one! It's old and sort of outdated but if you're curious it can be found here! Anyways this is my go to song for imagining how Grian gets to the HSS. From the whole being brought to the citadel to be inducted as a watcher to a very scuffed escape. also towards the end i imagine it fast forwards to when they attack the citadel and Grian can get some catharsis- Anyways I highly associate this one with Grian
-Fear by Sleeping at Last
+Kind of hard to explain without lyrics but this makes me think of Grian's experience during Scar and Hex's absence- working himself to exhaustion trying to find any trace of his friends whatsoever. Finally getting a lead and throwing himself into it- its just Good
-Hell's Comin' With Me by The Poor Man's Poison
+Grian Goes ApeshitTM- Mostly towards the watchers as he rallies people to go siege the citadel
For Mumbo:
-Cabinet Man by Lemon Demon
+Haha robot go brrr. Also possibly something something struggling to fit in with a crew of mainly organic folks. Also as a robot, Emotions Are Weird!
-The Bidding by Tally Hall
+Vibes also its a JAM and reminds me of him, especially the chorus :D
-Malfunction by Steam Powered Giraffe
+I imagine him and Mayhem singing this one a lot- Learning to accept yourself for who you are and be confident in yourself despite your flaws !!!
For Impulse:
-Soap by The Oh Hellos
+It has his vibes honestly, especially the lyrics "Oh no, I think I'm not quite ready to have you circle the drain, all the things we've broken can be puzzled together again." Well, to me at least. It just makes me happy :]
-Soft Fuzzy Man by Lemon Demon
+Impulse is a seaslug guy so he is not fuzzy BUT he is soft and good for hugs! Also this song is just fun and i think he'd dance to it
-Hey, Lover! by The Daughters of Eve
+I can imagine him vibing to this! Also this at all his friends! lover (platonic)
For Pearl:
-Ghost Choir by Louie Zong
+Its SUCH a cute song and I think she can make those noises. woo-O-OOO :D
-Everything Stays by Olivia Olson
+With how Moonsprites take on similar traits as their moon (craters, damages, fissures, etc) I imagine this is sort of how Pearl changes over the course of the story. How she may look different but she's still her
-Constellations by The Oh Hellos
+How connected Pearl feels to space!!! Constellations a million miles away!! She knows them all by heart!! Sort of how like a pigeon can always find its way home, Pearl can always find her way back to her moon :]
#OK DONE :D!#also for boatem as a whole you've got a friend in me by cavetown and also redesign your logo by lemon demon#anyways sorry this was so long thanks for indulging me LSDJKF#Boatem Crew#Scar Goodtimes#Grian#Mumbo Jumbo#Impulse#Pearl#over the intercom#hermitcraft

beyond the fleeting gales by crying is no joke the best album i have ever heard in my entire life, like both for personal and objective reasons. the album art is somewhat crude and might put people off about the quality of the music but it seems to be an ongoing joke the band members have going on bcs Look at this shirt lmfao.
the first tracks honestly the only one that I initially did not like listening to because it takes a while to pick up, but over time Iâve come to appreciate it as part of cryingâs ability to have a setup and a payoff thatâs unpredictable and unbelievably euphoric when it hits you. There are several microexamples of this within every single track on the album, my favorites being in âwell and springâ and âwool in the washâ, by foreshadowing the final chorus with 2 or 3 lush choruses before it that showcase a new direction in the sound pallet, but leave a bit more to be desired. this is no problem though because that desire is WAY more than met by the end of the song with an explosive final chorus that can only be described as being continuously pummeled by a professional boxer and peaceful waves on a beach at the same time. this method crying uses sticks with me personally because as a musician myself i often find myself making things that i wish i had a way of expanding upon more because i know they have potential, but im just a weak little thang though so it takes a lot of time and effort to make any kind of progress and i usually end up scrapping things. i think thatâs one of the common struggles associated with being a musician, but cryingâs riffs consistently flesh out their ideas and fully realize them in every single song in BTFG. And they *know* that they can because of the intentional foreshadowing to the epic ending chorus with the little mini choruses. itâs awesome and fresh even after countless listens because the pacing in every concept is so expertly built up to, and none of the grand choruses feel like a truck hitting you in a bad way. its definitely still a truck. but you know youre abt to be hit by it, and know itll feel good. what even is this analogy anyway. im gonna return to the album cover i brought up at the start. have you ever like looked at a piece of art for so long u start seeing things that might not be there? i feel like the album cover for BTFG does this because the painting kinda sucks but i find it to be full of life and revitalized by the music; im finding qualities of it that i like because the music gave that extra dimension to it by association. in a way i think the album cover is like one of those prechoruses that leave more to be desired but are inevitably met by the bandmembersâ artistic vision and confidence plus Skill cos i cant undermine how freaking technical every single moving part of every song is, even the minimal parts bring out a new component. the vocals take the spotlight and turn the vibe knobs to 10 whenever the synths dwindle to the little analog bweep bwoop thingys, and the syncopation with the keys and the guitar is absolutely nuts, especially in solos like the one in wool in the wash. i read a comment once that that song made the OP straightup cry and they couldnt understand why, and thatâs exactly the beauty that the songs i BTFG consistently pull through on. I have this thing where i really struggle piecing lyrics/movie dialogue together without captions and even then I really *feel* the passion and vision that the bandmembers wanted to convey. it oozes out of every single second, and so many ideas are packed into each section. sometimes it does feel busy but idec cos it sounds good and thats also just a statement to how much these people love their craft. they put all this time and crammed it into every second, like it all HAD to be there at once before they lost it or something. im kinda the same with my writing style lol but no english teachers grading this so đthe lyrics are also some of those poetic interpretable kinda deal, or maybe theyre not and im dumb but Idc. I interpret them to conflicts in my life and they r a nice place to go to to swim in some of my less nice thoughts comfortably, and i think the only other album thatâs ever done that for me is vdc by sweet trip. i can keep going but ya this is what happens when nobody responds to me spam posting songs on twitter LOL. thanks for reading

there was no particular reason i wrote all this down other than reading the translations to my universe made me cry last week because iâm just Like this. this is a mini compilation of yoongi lyrics that i hold gently in my palm and close to my heart in a heâs my artist for life kind of way. these arenât all my favorite yoongi lyrics, i certainly have more but not ones that fit this general vibe.Â
this is like extremely disorganized, i kind of just wrote it like a journal (and iâll probably copy it to my bullet journal at some point actually). interpretations are my own, music is cool in that we can all read and hear the same thing and get different things out of it (which is why yoongi has often said he doesnât attach specific meaning to things, giving it up to the listener instead)
so yeah. hereâs me being fond of yoongi in 4k for no reason other than. idk. i wanted to. all translations are from doyoubangtan and doolsetbangtan.Â
song request - lee sora ft suga
âIâll be with you, for your birth and your end; That youâd remember that Iâm with you, wherever you are; Iâll be a comfort for your life at any time, and so; please, that youâd lean on me and take a rest, every once in awhile.â
to me, this perfectly encapsulates what creating music is for yoongi in a two-fold kind of way. not only does he want his music to be a source of comfort for those who listen to it (just as the art of music is for himself), heâs also consistent in his assurance that taking a rest is okay. not being okay is okay. simply existing for the time being is okay. itâs a gentle empathy that comes from the experienced heart of someone whoâs not going to tell you that it is okay, but will tell you that it wonât always be like this. friendly little moon trying to get you to smile with him on sleepless nights.
so far away - agust d ft suran
dream, will eventually be in full bloom at the end of hardships
this was on my undergrad graduation cap. itâs one of my favorite lyrics of all time. if so far away is my heart song, this is my heart lyric. this is a common motif in yoongiâs lyrics; dormancy is only temporary, you will bloom at the end of the cold winter.
dream, hope it to be there with you at your creation and at the end of your life
creation to end is another common motif n his lyrics. in this specific context, i imagine it to most closely be analogous to holding dreams close to you your entire life. dreams are dreams no matter how they manifest, even if theyâre simply something you long for until your âendâ.
Hope it to be there with you at your creation and at the end of your life; It will be generous to you wherever you stand; It will eventually be in full bloom at the end of hardships; The beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will the future be
the entirety of this song reads like a story and this last refrain reads like the conclusion (kind of). the slight wording change from the previous choruses means a lot in that regard, more definite and firm. you will be okay. maybe not now, maybe not next week. but you will be.
sugaâs interlude - halsey ft suga
Though the dawn before sunrise is darkest; donât forget the stars you longed for only rise in the darkness
just a really pretty but heart wrenching lyric in the context of the entire song. heâs also used this metaphor several times. i love me a good string of consistency with minor adaptations to fit the vibe. this song also made me cry the first time i read the translations lmao.
my universe - coldplay ft bts
Because the trial we face now is just for a moment anyway; All you have to do is to just keep shining bright like now; And we will follow you, embroidering this long night
this could mean so many things depending on how you wanted to contextualize it. of course the song is about love, so you could view it in that way. weâre in the midst of a global pandemic where we canât see each other. or maybe itâs simply existence. continue to exist and one day your bright light will be followed even in the darkest of nights.
also the og title of telepathy being ì ì (for a moment) is so...min yoongi you are so cool
people - agust d
Did someone say humans are the animals of wisdom?; The way I see it, humans are the animals of regret
Your ordinaries are my extraordinaries; Your extraordinaries are my ordinaries; Your ordinaries are my extraordinaries; Your extraordinaries are my ordinaries
super simple to understand which i think makes it more poignant. especially if you contextualize it with everything heâs said or written regarding the plight of fame and how he himself grapples with it as min yoongi.
28 - agust d ft niihwa
just this whole song. if song request encapsulates yoongiâs musical ethos, this captures a lot of his general musings.
paradise - bts
Just living like this, surviving like this, thatâs my small dream; Dreaming dreams, grasping dreams, breathing breaths, itâs often too much
a more blunt take on the simply existing is a good enough dream. yoongiâs 2018 new years message was one of the things that made me go âyes. Himâąâ so paradise is very <3 for me
interlude: shadow - bts
Flying high scares me; I mean, nobody had told me; how lonely it is here â;how my leap could be my fall
another thing he uses frequently, even as recently as an interview regarding permission to dance. the contemplation of how a fall is far scarier than landing because getting back up is uncertain.
Yeah, Iâm you and youâre me, do you finally get that now?; Yeah, youâre me and Iâm you, do you finally get that now?
the entirety of this song is haunting particularly paired with the sampling and the music video as a visual but this part is just...the whole idea of competing internal voices throughout the narrative of the song or if youâd rather truly treat the lyrics like a piece of literature, you have quite the unreliable narrator, one thatâs trying to grapple with his own sense of self.
140503 at dawn - agust d
Pretending that Iâm not lonely, pretending that Iâm not suffering; needlessly pretending that Iâm okay, and pretending hard that Iâm strong; I built a wall in front of me, âDonât come insideâ; Iâm an island in this wide ocean, âDonât abandon meâ
the entirety of agust d just makes me ache but i mainly pulled this part because he uses the island metaphor consistently. here, itâs used like i said before; achingly.
this song also gets overlooked a lot in the larger context of agust d but anyway
eight - IU ft suga
Island, yeah this is an island; a small island that we made for each other; Yeah, mm, forever young, the word âforeverâ is a sandcastle; A farewell is just like an emergency text warning of a disaster; A morning met together with yearning; As each of us pass this eternity, weâre sure to meet again on this island
can i be honest and say i forgot this song came out at the beginning of the pandemic. anyway, if you havenât heard the various times that jieun has spoke about this song and itâs conveyance, i encourage you to. the music video also gives a beautiful visual.
i wrote a small analysis of this when it came out so iâll just put it hereÂ
burn it - agust d ft max
I hope you donât forget that giving up decisively also counts as courage
of course this can absolutely be taken at a literal meaning especially considering he said a similar iteration of this to someone on kkul fm BUT i also like looking at it in context of the entire song because maybe this is him trying to convince himself too, especially considering the wording of the last chorus doesnât change it so it implies in order to get past the fire u need to let it burn first? burn it = giving up on some aspect of pain?
i see why max didnât shut up for eight months about making this song i wouldnât either hello
outro: tear - bts
im including this one firstly because i love the song but secondly to say i knew the second u all were surprised by yoongi saying he wrote this as essentially a break up song for bts and they all cried while listening to it that yâall donât actually read or interact w their lyrics fjdklafjsd
just bc itâs a rap song doesnât mean itâs a diss or a flex. weirdos.
intro: never mind - bts
I hope you forget about all your mistakes and such; Never mind; Itâs not easy, but engrave this in your heart; If you think youâre going to crash, accelerate more, you idiot; Never mind, never mind; Whatever thorny path it may be, go run; Never mind, never mind; There are a lot of things that you canât control
the entire composition of nevermind is similar to first love and shadow to me where you can just hear the emotion in his voice while performing it
this is also another general idea that he mentions a few different times through different songs which as weâve seen i am <3 for
intro: the most beautiful moment in life - bts
once again i donât have a specific lyric to pull i just love this song so much and i feel like it isnât talked about enough because first of all the use of the basketball throughout the instrumental, the incorporation of the origin of his stage name into an entire song regarding his general existence as a performer and coming into the beginnings of sizeable fame, and just his general way of essentially writing one giant ode to something he loves and analogizing it to something else he loves to talk through internal struggles.
aka im once again saying min yoongi youâre so cool
first love - bts
same line of awe from above this whole song is just a story, a poem, a journal entry, a beautiful confession, i donât know. this is yoongiâs best bts solo u can argue with a wall about it also if you were able to see this live i hope u have a terrible week (im joking)
every fancam iâve ever seen of this makes me cry. so. do with that what you will in regards to how i feel about this song.
#i have no reason for posting this so im not gonna tag it with anything other than so i can find it again for myself JFEKWFJS#ffr#my writing#i just realized only one of these is from an ot7 song help#there are so many others. tomorrow. autumn leaves. mikrokosmos. black swan........

ALRIGHT, i went back to find the nct songs i liked and there's actually more than i remembered.
good thing by nct 127 it's fun. has those weird ass instrumentals you expect from nct, but its also fairly catchy. the chorus is kinda weak but overall it kinda grows on me as i listen to it. i dont think i'll ever listen to it much though, as i do get bored of it really fast
i like chewing gum by nct dream. it's fun. i don't have any strong feelings on it nor do i go back to it very frequently but i always have a fun time when i listen to it, it's very catchy, and i can see someone finding it annoying but i think if you like cutesy music you'll like this one, it's such a fun time. it was nice to revisit it.
i hate that im admitting this but i love simon says by nct 127 </3 its honest to god not very good, and i cannot listen to it too much before i get annoyed at it. i definitely enjoy it in a guilty pleasure kind of way. the silly lyrics really get to me, and idk, its a pretty energetic song. it rlly is just noise but like, i find it sooo catchy and addictive. which is weird, because i did listen to simon says a few years ago and i remember disliking it. and like i still dont think its all that great, but now i actually do enjoy it. maybe that just means my taste has gotten worse.
and then we get to the stuff that i genuinely unapologetically love.
my first and last by nct dream is really cute, i enjoy it a lot. it has a very strange sound to it??? but it somehow works? it's very fun. wouldn't necessarily recommend it to just about anyone lmao, like i said, it does sound kinda strange, but i think the more the song progresses the more it works. i kinda really struggled to figure out how i felt about it but the more i listen to it the more i like it.
i really like dream launch by wayv. it's so soothing and pleasant, it's just really relaxing? i can definitely see myself listening to it a lot more in the future, especially if i want something more lighthearted and slow.
and FINALLY we get to nct u, and i actually might listen to one of their albums at some point? i just kinda like their vibes. like idk why the songs for this particular subunit have worked so well for me but so far, it's just been good.
first there's boss, which i just think it's fun to listen to. it's kinda addictive in the way simon says is, but also just has a much more pleasant instrumental and is just... a better song overall lol. the vocals in this one are VERY nice to listen to. i like the balance between the rap and the vocals more than i usually do in nct's songs. the chorus is fun.
baby don't stop is still a queen of a song. i loooove the instrumental so much, the whispering works extremely well, it's just got a really good rhythm to it. this song fucks, i will never get sick of her.
YESTODAY IS SO GOOD???? bro. bro. its so good. i can listen to it over and over again, they went so hard with this one and for what. it's definitely a much softer song than what they usually put out. it's sooo relaxing and i think the instrumental is pretty interesting, as simple as it is. the rap sounds very good in this one too! for once, i think the rap is definitely one of the highlights. much to like about this one imo. yestoday my beloved, im so glad i have u in my life <3 it also has a very pretty music video, so i recommend checking that out.
without you is also so good. like yes i admit that its very generic, as in there are a million of other songs like it BUT that doesnt contradict it being really good. it's fun, its pleasant, ITS VERY VOCAL HEAVY WHICH IS WHAT I WISH NCT WOULD GIVE ME WITH THE VOICES THEY HAVE.... this one doesn't even have a rap, its just the vocalists.... i love this song, i dont care. i reallyyy like this style for them which is kinda devastating because I KNOW this isnt what nct puts out in general but oh well. im very normal about without you....
so those are the nct songs that i think are worth listening to, if u care to check them out.
Oh I just listened to good thing and I liked it, esp the instrumental (particularly that part towards the end where the synth comes in). It's kinda repetitive and yeah, the chorus is underwhelming, but minus those aspects I enjoyed it
Chewing gum is a cute song, Idk if I'd listen to it that often. Once again the chorus is the culprit here, I liked specific parts of the song but the chorus was meh đ
I mostly didn't have any strong feelings on simon says, except for the bless me achoo line which was so fucking funny (and the other lyrics I occasionally paid attention to). There was one high note that I thought was rlly good tho
I liked my first and last, it was a cute song! It's upbeat but it sounds like one of those songs that is meant to make u nostalgic. It was released only 5 years ago but it somehow feels v early-2010s
I think so far my fave song from this batch is dream launch, I rlly liked it. My only exposure to wayv is thru their iconic song love talk, and dream launch is p diff from that, so out of curiosity I might just go and check out their other songs. Anyway dream launch is going straight to my playlist
Why does the intro from boss slap so hard??? Overall I liked the song, it had some parts that I liked a Lot, and I also jive w the instrumental. I def can see the simon says parallels and yeah absolutely, I prefer boss over simon says
Help, I confused baby don't stop w another nct song, baby don't like it đđ. Why do they have 2 songs w the same gimmick (trick question obvs we all know why). I thought it was alright, I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to listen to it again, but the whispers were a cool addition
THE SAXOPHONE AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF YESTODAY....I agree, the rap was a highlight here, I rlly liked the song. The instrumental gives me vaporwavey vibes, which is def diff than nct's usual vibe. I'm gonna go listen to this one again
Ok so I already have without you in my playlist, and I WILL defend it as a generic song. My fave part of the song is the intro bc of how the vocals are showcased, the rest of the song is generic but what's important is that the vocals are amazing

34+35 live stream
description: arianaâs live stream before debut of 34+35 remix music video.
word count: 2.22k
A/N: little piece based off this live stream that ariana did in the countdown to her releasing the 34+35 remix music video with doja and megan. obvs not included every question but just a few fun bits and harry mentions for you x
also disclaimer, this is NOT real, if u don't wanna read about these two then don't, iâm not tryna act like theyâre together it is fiction.
†anywayz hope u enjoy luvs xox
â   "HELLO EVERYONE! thank u for coming to this premier,â ariana smiled sweetly at the camera, as the video cut to a shot of her for the beginning of the countdown.
âwe had so much fun making this 34+35 remix video for you, and uhh, we hope you love it.â she continued, playing with her hair. no matter how long she did this for she swore she would never cease to get slightly nervous in these situations. where it was her alone, in front of a camera. but her fans made her feel at ease, and she felt she owed them something, as she hadnât done many quarantine interviews like other celebs have.
âi thought i would come celebrate and join the countdown with you guys. which is something that I've never done before, but iâm very happy to be here and i was very excited to get some questions from you all...â she held up the sheets of twitter questions she had received, âum that iâm gonna be answering while iâm here so, i cant wait to celebrate this together and countdown and answer some of your questions!â she finished with a smile.
and it was genuine. a real smile that her fans were thrilled to see.
ariana was genuinely so happy and content with her life right now. with her family, her music, her friends, harry. harry her FIANCE!! might she add.
everything just felt perfect, and after all the shit the last couple years had thrown her way, she appreciated the break.
 she got her love back, she was making music that she fully loved, and put her whole soul into, and she had fans who had stuck with her and supported her through some of the darkest times in her life, that were now able to experience her happiness and personal growth with her. so truly, little things like this, felt like the least she could do for them.
âohh this is a good one because its 34 35 relatedâ she tucked her hair behind her ears, â@noirgrande said âummm its just i wanna the end of 34+35 is it awww shit or nooo shit, i just wanna sing the song rightâ
âumm it is indeed no shitâ she confirmed, smiling matter of factly at the camera before reciting the closing line of the song.
~~~~~~~~~~~
â@arianalocks1223 said âwill we get to see the track list before the songs release?ââ she paused for a second to process - which turned into a few more seconds, she was a bit slow today. she had told harry with full sincerity that she thought it was because she was getting old but he had just cracked up at her absurd statement, and told her that if that was the case heâd still think she was a milf
âyou will!â she nodded with certainty, âindeed. ummm... i can tell you them nowâ she blurted, oops.
âi suppose thats not like... is that against the rules? can i do that?â she turned, to question scooter who was supervising off camera, not wanting to get her label mad at her for releasing too much information, something she has a tendency to do.Â
after getting the nod of reassurance from him she turned back to the camera, âso out of âPOVâ, you go into, um, an interlude called âsomeone like uâ. after that is a song called âtest driveâ, after that is the 34/35 remix with doja and megâ she smiles lightly, âand after that is a song called âworst behaviourâ, and after worst behaviour is... a song called âmain thingâ...â she finishes, a shy smirk forming on her face, dimples appearing, âso thatâs the tracks.âÂ
continuing with the countdown, ariana felt her heart warm at the love her fans were giving her and this album. she loved interacting with them and making them happy and proud of her so knowing she had done just that, was an amazing feeling.
âumm hesbloodsline... @hesbloodsline ... iâm really fond of this question because its really to the point, âwhere's the pig and where the fuck is harry?ââ she smiled, holding in a laugh.
âpiggyâs here, she's great, she's really doing so well and life is really good for her right now, she's really thriving and doing her thingâ she ranted, a hint of sarcasm in her voice, âum, i make her big salads everyday that she likes, she's doing really great. she asked me to stop posting her as much because she's actually really offended by a lot of your jokes that you make on twitter, she asked me to have a word with you guysâ she continued to joke, well aware that she probably found herself more funny than anyone else did right now.
âshe doesn't like the jokes about being eaten, they really hurt her, umm yeh, and she asked me to convey that... no sheâs great...â she finally decided to answer, âand harry, is on set today, so um, yeh thats where he is... but don't worry i will tell him to keep you in the loop, iâve got youâÂ
ariana unconsciously let a small smile take over her glossed lips when talking about harry. he had been so excited about this new project and seeing him passionate and happy about anything heâs doing, always made her happiest.
~~~~~~~~~~~
ânicole! @nastyctrl. nicole said âwho helped come up with the concept for the positions music video, love u sm ariâ love you so much to, i love you so much moreâ she paused, she loved this story,
âum this is actually a really funny story, dave and i had been going back and forth on several different concepts, and i couldn't, like... marry one... i couldn't really, like, really commit to one, i wasn't 100% sold. and it was missing a certain element of empowerment. and i kept, you know, trying to think of things that would make it more impactful cause i wasn't loving what we had...â
âanddd then me and harry were on this huge hike, and he just turned to me and was like, âwhat if you were the president?â which was like, not at all fitting cause i was dying and complaining the whole time. but i was like,â she tried to imitate a shocked face through her smile and laughedÂ
âand when i called dave he was like âoh... kay, ill call you guys backâ and had the whole production team redo everything, and i had mimi pull completely different outfits and we completely started over cause that idea was what i was, craving and missing. and i was like, wow, thats so perfectâ she smiled, shrugging her shoulders, âso yeh, honorary directing credit to harry styles, if you liked thatâ
~~~~~~~~~~~~
âthis is from @borderlinevinyl, who said âhow much of the album was recorded at your little home studio?â ummm..â she sang, looking off camera in thought, everything in quarantine had honestly just blurred into one so she was struggling to remember what exactly she recorded where,
âum... a lot of it was... i think i did parts of everything here and parts of things at tommy's i know i did, um, the final chorus ad-libs for positions at homeâ she began listing in her head, âi know i did all of off the table at home... i know i did the final chorus of my hair at home because we- i-â oops. she had to control the laugh threatening to leave her lips at the lack of subtlety in her correction
â-i got out of the shower and he was like âoh your whistles are really here right nowâ, and i was like yâknow what... yeahh they are arenât theyâ she laughed as she squinted her eyes and recited that part of the conversation, even trying to imitate his deeper accent.
she had been singing in the shower - as she always did - and harry joining her never seemed to stop her from belting out any whitney or old one direction classic she wanted to. he would even join in sometimes and they'd end up with their own mini concert, dancing around naked, shampoo and conditioner bottles in hand singing their hearts out to everything from high school musical to nicki minaj to fleetwood mac.
while it felt like too bold of statement to make as she truly revelled in and enjoyed everything they did together, showering with him was truly one of her favouriteâs. whether it was steamy shower sex that had all glass surfaces in the room fogging up or letting loose and dancing and singing under the pouring water, every moment felt so intimate and sacred. it truly made her feel like they were they only people in the world.Â
of course he would claim she was out singing him every time she whistled and would jokingly try to replicate the note but he was truly just in awe off the sounds that came from her mouth (in all senses of the word;)
"-and so i opened âmy hairâ and just randomly did thatâ she continued, âum what else did i do here, i did the a lot of the backgrounds and ad-libs for 34+35 here, um, obvious was done at home, a lot of six-thirty was done at homeâ
caught in her own thoughts she only realised she had probably been droning on for too long when she caught scooters eye across the room and with a blush she shook her head as if to clear it, âthis is an annoying answer, everything was kind of all over the place but i did a lot, a lot, a lot of the vocals for the album at the house" she finally finished the long answer, moving on quickly as she realised she didn't have long until the premiere and she wanted to answer as many of the questions as possible.
âok, second last question from hannah, ever- @everdxystxless, im sorry i don't know how to pronounce thatâ she laughs looking up at the camera with wide eyes, not sure how exactly how she was supposed to go about pronouncing the username,Â
âim sorry, um, but anyway she sayâs âari baby, how do you feel about harry getting to do a movie with florence pugh, we know your a big fan of hers, ps. i love you so much!â well hannah, i love you tooâ she replies, as she thinks back to when harry first introduced the two, after she had gotten over the initial fangirling, the pair became amazing friends. florence struck ariana as such a genuine, loving person and they shared the same dry sense of humour. plus ariana might of been just a little obsessed with her accent - not that she would ever admit that and scare the girl off.
âand... um, yeah, it literally, made me beyond happy, i was fully like, fangirling when i met her the first timeâ she laughs as she plays with her hair, âshe honestly, probably was like, âwho the fuck is this girl? what is she doing?ââariana imitated, a faux scared/weirded out look on her face, playing the part of a mildly pissed off florence - which she luckily had never been on the receiving end of, âim sure i was being the opposite of subtle about it but, no, she really truly is the sweetest, kindest, most beautiful, talented human beingâ she emphasises, the thought of any news outlets of fanâs trying to spin a âjealousyâ story about this making her internally role her eyes,
âmidsommar is, like, one of my all time favourite movies, and she's amazing in it, and harryâs like so fucking lucky its crazy. so yeah, thats insaneâ
~~~~~~~~~
"...so yeah... thank you so much! this was so much fun!â ariana exclaimed as she wrapped up the Q&A, smiling wide at the camera, she knew her fans were going to love the music video and she couldn't wait for them to watch it, plus interacting with them in this way always made her happy.
âi love you guys, i miss youâ she reminded, âi am so appreciative of everything you've done for this album, for these singles, for this music. i hope that, um, that this makes you super happy, i hope it makes you smile...we had so much fun shooting it and um, the girls are so fantastic, so i hope you love this and i hope you love the deluxe!âÂ
ariana didn't know how many more ways she could say thank you and express her gratitude but she still had over a minute and a half so sheâd have to come up with something, even if it meant sheâd sound like a broken record
âi am so thankful for everything and for the love that you've shown this music i cant even begin to articulate it properly so, thank you! i appreciate it so muchâ she breathed out all in one, âbut anyway, the video should be starting soon, so... i hope you like it, don't refresh! itâll be here soon... i promise... just don't refreshâ she urged dramatically, she was really dragging this out, âbut yehâ she got out through laughs âthe video should be starting anytime now, i love you guysâ she blew a kiss to the camera before moving as close to the lens as possible âbyeeâ.
đ€Â there u go!! i hope you liked it, and any feedback would always always be welcomed and so so appreciated pls and thanku xÂ

my top 10 favorite kpop singles of the first half of 2021
i did one of these at the end of march, for the first quarter of the year, and this is my update for the second quarter, which obviously is also the first half of the year lol. so like, thatâs kind of a big deal, we already know half of all the kpop that will be released this year, and im starting to have strong favorites that all the stuff from the second half of the year will have to struggle to beat, haha.Â
rather than do a big thing like my year-end list that i did at the end of 2020, iâm gonna limit myself to just three sentences per song for songs 10-6, and five sentences for the top 5 songs haha. if these songs are good enough, and they stay high on my list all the way through to the end of the year, then iâll post big full-size reviews of them then, i guess. or if you want to know more of what i think about something, or why i put something where i did, feel free to ask me about it lol, i love having discussions about this kind of stuff
anyway hereâs the list
10: Lunarsolar - DADADA This is kind of a surprise pick for me lol, and Iâd be lying if I said that at least half of the reason I wanted to include it here wasnât just because I want more people to know about this song, and also to surprise people with an interesting pick haha. But genuinely, I think this song is really solid, there arenât many flaws with it that I can even think of, and Iâve listened to it a ton since it came out. Itâs such a fun song, and if you like girl groups and you donât know this song, then I highly recommend it haha
9: Rocket Punch - Ring Ring When I saw the teaser images, I thought this would be a disco concept, and like it kind of is... but only in the visuals lmao, the song seems pure 80s synthwavey stuff, more like Everglow La Di Da than GFriend Mago (and Iâm into that, personally haha). This was a really cool comeback for this group, and Iâm continuing to get more and more into them with each new thing they do! I donât really have a lot to say about it, but itâs just fun and catchy and bright and loud and good, and yeah, itâs a song Iâve really enjoyed listening to a lot, which is really all that you need in order to make it on this list, you know?
8: Cherry Bullet - Love So Sweet This song feels really simple to me, but in a good way! It really feels like the songwriter(s) had a really good idea one day, and wrote a song for it immediately, rather than trying to start a song and come up with ideas as they went haha. It feels like everything in the song is in service to that underlying idea, and everything helps bring it to life more
7: Itzy - In the Morning (or Mafia in the Morning, whichever you prefer. I just tend to call it âMafiaâ and nothing else, lol) Okay this one might be kind of a hot take, cause Iâve seen people be prettttty divided on this song, but I personally love it haha. Sure, the lyrics are corny as hell, but thatâs nothing new for kpop, and I do think the use of the mafia game as a song motif is kind of interesting, I suppose. But honestly the biggest reason why I love it is the production haha, cause damn this song hits hard and the instrumental just sounds so cool (as do the bsides! their Guess Who mini album is my album of the year so far for sure, no question)
6: Fromis 9 - We Go Iâm so glad Fromis came back with this song, and I feel like itâll be a really meaningful song for me in time. This period of time right now, when weâre starting to feel like progress is being made in the fight against this virus thatâs been dominating our lives for a year and a half... I think this song captures that feeling perfectly, possibly without even necessarily trying to. It sounds like a sigh of relief, meeting friends who you havenât seen in a long time, or just the reassurance that even though many people are still very much in quarantine and taking things very seriously, this wonât be forever and there is still good in the world... thatâs what it sounds like to meÂ
5: TRI.BE - Rub-a-Dum This one was kind of a surprise for me lol, cause I wasnât expecting to like a song with this title this much. I like Doom Doom Ta, and I would have put it relatively high on this list if Rub-a-Dum hadnât come out afterwards, but I feel like this song does everything that Doom Doom Ta did but better, and in a bit more of an interesting way. It was written by Shinsadong Tiger and LE from EXID (just as Doom Doom Ta was) and I think this song has LEâs touch all over it, in the best way. I love that this song is kind of experimental, cause like it only has one verse... it goes Intro > Verse > Prechorus > Chorus > Bridge > Final Chorus haha, and i think thatâs mostly so that you can luxuriate in that chorus drop as much as possible. The song just really works for me overall, itâs super solid and I just couldnât deny that itâs in my top 5 favorite songs of the year so far.Â
4: Dreamcatcher - Odd Eye As soon as this song came out, it was another moment of âWow, Dreamcatcher just put out the song of the year right at the beginningâ, just like they did in 2020 lol. But as the year has gone on, I think Iâm not as into this song as I was into Scream and Boca (the other two from Dreamcatcherâs Dystopia trilogy, with Scream being my SOTY last year). But like... a Dreamcatcher comeback that I feel is just fairly decent and not one of my most favorites... still gets it to 4th place overall haha. Thatâs just Dreamcatcherâs power, even the songs Iâm not as obsessed with are ones that I still get pretty obsessed with. I love this vibe, itâs a really different take on a cyberpunk-y genre from other kpop songs that have dabbled in it, and overall I think every member slayed this (especially Handong who made her triumphant return this comeback!)
3: Weeekly - After School Okay, Iâve been pretty conflicted on this song, because even though initially I wasnât sure how much I would get into it, it nevertheless is my single most-listened-to song of 2021 so far. Part of that is how much I love Weeekly, part of that is how fun the performances were to watch (and Iâm counting watching those as listens to the song lol), but also I think it really did grow on me quite a bit, and I was even considering it to be my favorite of the year for a while. Itâs a lot of fun, itâs really catchy, and itâll probably go down as one of their most iconic and fan-favorite comebacks. Itâs the kind of song thatâll get stuck in your head for weeks. Itâs just very very very very... Weeekly, haha.Â
2: Everglow - First This song is a fucking whirlwind, and it really beat the shit out of me just like the members do to the camera in the music video lmao. Itâs pretty different from La Di Da, which has become one of my favorite kpop songs ever, but I really really like it too. I feel like First is what Everglow were going for with Adios and Dun Dun, but fully realized, in a more complete form. I love how high their budget seems to be now, and I love how they seem to be really coming into their own as a group, I feel like this is the Everglow they were always meant to be. Honestly, I could see this maybe becoming my SOTY by the end of the year, and itâs very close (within 10 or so) to being my most-listened song of the year, but I do still think itâs too soon to say for sure haha
1: STAYC - ASAP This was such a hard decision to make, because honestly the top 4 on this list were all really strong contenders for first place, but after a lot of thought, Iâve decided that ASAP is the one I feel like Iâm the least likely to change my mind on. Iâve listened to this song every single day since it came out, except for like 4 or so, which means that even though Iâve listened to it less than the three songs below it on this list, Iâve listened to it more consistently than any of them... I just have not gotten tired of it. Itâs such a breath of fresh air for kpop. Itâs kind of minimalist because it really doesnât have any extra stuff, itâs very streamlined and it knows exactly what it is and thatâs all it needs to be, and that makes for a very satisfying listen, in my opinion. This song sounds like what heart-shaped things look like. ASAP â€ïž
#if i went over my self imposed sentence limit in any of these... oh well lol#i just have a lot to say about things haha#thoughts tag#o#2021 list#i'll probably post some additional thoughts in a bit#and throughout the next day or two#and yes- i'm posting this before the loona comeback#intentionally#since it comes out so close to the end of the month... it basically will count as a second-half-of-the-year song imo#but if i waited until it was already out then i would probably be tempted to include it on this list (if it ends up being good)

!Too Young To Feel Numb! (Kie x Reader)
ATTENTION!! There are a lot of trigger warnings in this one! Including: drinking, drugs, talks of feeling alone, depression.
Summary: Y/n started smoking weed at the age of 8, Itâs all sheâd known; She grew up around it so it was normal for her to start super young, she told herself thatâs the farthest sheâd go...only smoking weed..never any hard drugs. She thought she could learn from her parent's mistakes, guess not.Â
pairing: Kie x female!reader, Rafe x Platonic! reader, JJ x Sister figure! reader
Warnings: Substance abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts, marijuana Underage drinking,(reader is 15),
A/N: Alot of grammar errors because i dont feel like checking it so sorry....not really,hehe
---------
I use to think people were crazy for even thinking about doing anything harder than weed. Yeah...I was like 7 so it doesnât count.âYo you gonna babysit that shit or pass it, I mean...I have all day but  would love to do something besides wait for you to pass the blunt.â I rolled my eyes waiting for JJ to hand it to me.âChill, whatâs up your ass today?â
He finally passes it, after what felt like hours. I take a long hit before seeing heâs actually wanting me to answer his question.âNothin. man, Iâve just got places to be.â I mumbled out hoping he wouldnât start asking any further questions. He stares blankly awaiting me to pass it back, knowing I donât share my feelings so he simply lays off. âHey. You trynna go surfing todayâŠ.whenever youâre done with yourâŠ.things..?â
âUhh, yeah text me and-â Iâm cut off by the sound of my phone vibrating...Barry.
Barry:
Meet in twenty? I got extra today
I look up from my phone stuttering my words, and fumbling.âUhm, I gotta go do something, but Iâll text you later to surf, yeah?â I say nodding towards JJ as I began walking out.âUhm yea sure, hey-â I was already out the door.â-be safe.â he muttered to himself left wondering why I left so fast. On the way to my bike, I ran into Kie and Pope laughing about something before Kie began to make her way over towards me.
âHey, Y/n! Heading out so fast, are we?âKie pouted her lip out mimicking a whimpering sound.â heh, yeah sorry bub. I gotta go handle some things and Iâll be back later.â I peck her lips in a swift movement as well as pull up the front of her crop top, covering her exposed cleavage.âThose are my love,keep them coveredâ I wink at her. She laughs and heads inside after blowing me a kiss,that I catch and pretend to place in my heart..Wow im so whipped.
My thoughts cut off by a loud vibrating noise.
Barry:
You coming?
Read: 46 sec.ago
Me:
Omw now!
Read: just now
I hop on my bike heading over to Barryâs place knowing a shortcut I found a few days ago.
It only takes 10 minutes before iâm in front of his house walking up the steps of the porch.My clean oxygen is immediately replaced by the smell of cigarettes,weed,and...Is that burnt hair?I scrunch my face in disgust at the awful smells.âAye look who it is!â Barry calls out after seeing my face, Heâs standing beside..Rafe cameron.
Now...Iâm not friends with Rafe but i also donât exactly despise him.I babysat wheezie all summer last year,most the time heâd join..keep me company;I donât think he knew i was with Kie but heâs not all bad.Heâs helped me more times than I can count,only because i've done the same for him though.
âYo waddup.I didnât expect to see you here.â I share a short handshake with Barry and side hug Rafe,he seems unprepared for it so he stumbles a bit but eventually hugs back quickly.âuh yeah.just doing some..businessâ Rafe says avoiding eye contact,looking everywhere except my face.âanyway i'm gonna head out, i'll catch you guys later.â Rafe walks towards,im guessing his bike;I head inside following barry so i didnât really catch what he drove in.
âSo like I said I've got your usual ,and then I got a little extra something I thought you may like.âHe continues on but I'm so wrapped up in the fact that I want to consume something soon,anything;I donât know exactly what he's saying.âSound good?â He asked âUh what?sorry I zoned out a bit.âI shook my head pushing my long hair out of my eyes.âLook,Usually altogether this would be alot of money but considering I stole the pills,I'll spare you the oxy,wadda yuh say?â, âYeah sure,80$?â
He nods his head holding his hand out as i hand him the money.He hands you a bag full of coke in a plastic baggy, along with the pills in its original container it was prescribed. âIght,thanks man.Ill see you later next week!â I wave goodbye as I show myself out, shoving the âthingsâ I had bought into my bag and swinging it back on my back.
~Incoming call from:Bubbs<3
I instantly pick up not wanting to worry her.
I instantly hear the boys laughing and playing in the background,but wait for her to say something.âHey baby, you heading back yet?â Kie questioned sounding bored of the childish boys we spend our time with.âNot yet,i promise im almost done,ask the boys if there's drinks at the chateau please.âShe turns her head away from the boys asking what there is to drink besides sink water.
I hear a chorus of âWe just stocked upâ,âAll good momma bird.â and other sayings coming from the overly hyper boys.âDid you hear that,or need me to repeat?â She hesitantly says, making sure Iâm still listening âGotcha,I'm headed your way now,see you thereâ I say quickly hanging up without giving her time to respond.
I hop on my bike and drive towardsâŠ...the opposite of the chateau,instead deciding to go to the Camerons.I drive,stuck in thought of what ill do when i get there,not quite sure why i decided to come.I had been so lost in thought I didnât realise I was suddenly at the Cameron residence. I park my bike and began walking up to the door,but before I can knock,Rafe walks up behind me.
âY/n?â I swiftly turn around being scared for a minute before realizing who it was.âOh!uhm. yeah...heyâ I âsmoothlyâ sayâwhat are you doing here?â he asks..The whole conversation was a blur and before I knew it I was walking up to his room to hang out.I sit on the bed laying back asking about what he wants to do.âI don't know,you came here,what'd you have in mind?â He asked curiously.âI'm not sure.â I snorted at my inability to maintain a conversation.
I dig into my bag as he starts up about how he broke his bed frame the other day, because he put too many boxes on the bed while getting rid of some old things. I finally found what I was looking for,the baggy of white powder.I lifted it up smiling widely.âCan I do this here or no?âI question,feeling my body begin to sweat at the thought of getting to snort the white powder.
âUh,I mean.. yea sure,didn't know you did that kind of thing.. but I mean go ahead.â He rambles. He stares into space as I do a few lines, my eyes opening wide at the sensation of sudden adrenaline;I look over to see him trying not to stare.âOh my bad,You want some?â I ask holding up the dollar folded into a cylinder shape , gesturing to the lines of coke spread on the dresser.
---
Hours go by,giggling,cracking jokes with rafe as well as doing oxy and maybe overdoing it with the coke seeing as the bag was almost gone.Rafe hasn't done much.I on the other hand was feeling VERY shaky and everything was just so hilarious..until it wasnt.My high started to get bad and overall scary.I must've did too much in such a limited amount of time.I look at my phone .
17 missed calls from Bubbs<3
8 missed calls from John B:)
9 missed calls from Popey boi
11 missed calls from JJ
Incoming call from Bubbs<3
âHe-h-hello ,hi,hey.â
âDON'T âHIâ ME!â Kie instantly began screaming into the phone making me move my face away from it as Rafe looked at me with a worried expression on his face.
âY/n,Where have you been! Iâve been so worried! Iâve-â I Blanked out again not in the mood to be yelled at.âYeah,hey I nee-need,will-can youcomeandpickme upâ I say jumbling all my words together. âAre you okay?Why are you talking like that?''She ask worried about my state of mind.
âYeah am- I fine,Yesâ I say yet again struggling to sound normal. I guess I was on speaker because JJ immediately began yelling into the phone asking about where I was.âRafes houseâ Rafe sat silently waiting for them to break out into hysterics about me being with him.The phone went silent for a moment before the call ended.âSo does that mean they not-....Vodkaâ was all i said before heading downstairs Rafe was sober enough to be able to notice what i was doing.I quickly went downstair searching through the freezer.
âYessss.âI exclaimed before chugging the vodka.âRafe continuously asking me to give him the bottle.I chugg at least half the pint bottle before having to give it up because Sarah comes down the stairs.âY/n what're you doing here?â She asks excitedly until she saw me tripping over my own feet walking towards her,âWoah!â she caught me just before I hit the floor.
She turned to the door hearing someone pull up.Kie.âRafe what did you do to her?â Sarah asked, holding me up scared of how out of it I was.âSHE BROUGHT COKE HERE,i did a bit with her, but she did A LOT. I legit did nothing this time I swear on everything!âHe trailed back up the stairs not caring about the situation now that Sarah was there to take care of you.Â
I began to sweat, tears running down my face. scared of what's happening to me.John b and Kie rush through the front doors asking where I am.âIN HERE GUYS!â Sarah screamed for them to hear her.My eyes rolling to the back of my head as I went in and out of consciousness.
âBABYYYY!!!â i exclaimed making grabby hands at Kie as i started crying harder
Sarah helped me stand up shakingly as I tried to walk to my girlfriend,She came running towards me with a concerned look on her face. She grabs my face pecking my lips,âBub. I need you to listen to me, okay?â I nodd in awe of the gorgeous girl in front of me.âJohn B is gonna take you to the van,we need you to tell us everything you took to get in this state, okay?â I drowsily  nodded,growing tired.
Just as she said,the tall boy picked me up bridal style carrying me out to the twinkie.
I take notice to seating arrangement so i can close my eyes and know whos talking ,JJ being in the passenger seat,Pope watching From the bench behind the driver's seat.Kie stepped up into the van sitting on the floor of the vehicle waiting for John B to place me down beside her.As he did I sat up enough to lean my back against her chest.
JJ was surprisingly silent.Too silent.Pope looked so worried at my sweating body and dripping wet hair from  sweat,tears,and vodka mixture.âOkay,Y/n,What did you take?â my girlfriend sits grabbing my face turning me to face her, my legs straddling her thighs on the floor as I nuzzle my head into the crook of her neck,but she pushes my head up making me pout but not being able to maintain due to the dizziness. âI took a few oxy,uhm when I -then i did a few lines of coke,andâŠ..i chugged half a pint of vodka..â i said tears filling my eyes trying to not look into anyone's eyes,
Silent JJ was no more .âAre you fucking kidding me.Y/n Y/m/n Y/l/n.Youâre not supposed to take oxy and drink alcohol together.much less do oxy or coke at all.ARE YOU DUMB!â JJ began turning around. A Quiet âim sorryâ came from my mouth.John B finally pulled into the chateau.
Kie carried me while my face stayed nuzzled in her neck still crying due to my,still,VERY high state.she sat me down on the couch out on the porch as everyone except her,went to get a few things.Pope came back with water and a wet rag to place on my head.JJ brought a blanket,John B came back empty handed because he only went inside to pee.
âKie?â I whispered scared she was mad.âYes baby?âÂ
âAre you mad at me?â I questioned hiding my face in her shoulder due to the amount of dizziness being insured. She leaned her head on mine with an unknown amount of emotions,not quite sure of how to fully answer. âNo I- I just donât know what you were thinking I just- Well I figured you wouldnât ever do anything like this considering what we talked about-and -and what you went through with your parents..âÂ
âI know-I wanted to feel better tho..I just feel like i have no one-â
Shortly realising the guys were still in on the conversation as Pope cut in.
âY/n, you have,and always will have us..â I lift my head from the girls shoulder  before slowly looking at Pope in his sad worried eyes.
âI guess, I like-I dont know guys what you want me to say..Im trying to be better for myself for everybody,but nothing was working and i ran into barry one day and we talked and he offered a way to help,of course i was hesitant but its really not that bad...Im actually fine!â I said standing up as John b followed me.
ây/n, you were just saying you need help,so what the fuck are we supposed to do ,one minute you need help and having to be ushered here so you dont die! And-and-the next thing youâre yelling at us about how your fine,youâre not fine and you know it!â I stopped as I watched the long haired boy fight back tears trying to explain how all of them feel.
âFuck you guys honestly,Im not a child i know how i feel,this is all just bullshit!â I yelled at them all, I ran to the spare bedroom covered in sweat,tears,and vodka; I slowly sink into the bed as tears fall down my face crying myself to sleep,what i didnât know was that my bestfriendâs and girlfriend were all huddled up outside the door awaiting me to fall asleep so that they could come in and cuddle me to make me feel better.Sometimes things get better, but i dont think this is one of those times atleast for now anyway..

do u !!! have any character theme songs for the troop boys? Like any songs you think really fits them (and why u think it fits)?
THATS A GREAT QUESTION!!
Before I get into it Im going to plug this collaborative Troop Playlist on Spotify, feel free to add onto it!! Continuing with my picks
I think a lot of the songs I associate with The Troop in general are just because I happened to listen to them around the same time I got into the book in the first place (So they could only be tangentially related BUT only if you squint hard) Example: Drunk by The Living Tombstone, cant really tie it into the story but in my mind its linked Some better, more fitting songs under the cut (Side note its LONGGG IM SORRY... Also its all YouTube links because some of these arent on Spotify :'^()
Disclaimer -Like 95% of my choices arent really a "These lyrics match up exactly 1 to 1" but more of an overall "the vibe/general idea its trying to capture lines up" type thing. If that makes sense.
Its Alright by Jack Stauber: Kind of self explanatory, I think its a perfect song for these guys. From "It's alright, I'm here, Everything's alright, Feels weird but calm, I wanna hear It's alright" to the whole sound of it- its all great. Equal parts distressing and sad with an almost eerie calmness to it. Despite it all theyre gonna be alright, right?
The Second Little Piggy by Worthikids: Another one that I think is sort of self explanatory- at least with the chorus. "If my brain turns to mush, If the shit hits the fan, Will you be my friend?" Kind of the falling apart of everything, specifically their relationships, in light of the incident.
Poor George by James Supercave: Another case of "listened to at the same time I read the book" BUT I was actually making a Troop PMV script with that song. I never finished it but maybe Ill revisit it... just for you
Cold Summer by Le Matos ft Computer Magic: I dont even think this takes place in the summer but the VIBES and also it came from Summer of 84, which is another good piece of murder boy media.
Treehouse by Alex G ft Emily Yacina: This is a Eef and Max type of song because they are bffs and thats final. Basic song because Im not creative, but I think its a nice heart to heart theyd have (with Eef doing the talking)
Fifteen Minuets by Nick Krol: On the flipside heres a song that goes with Eef and Maxs friendship fracturing, once again more from Eefs side than Maxs. THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTINGGG
As far as songs for the boys as individuals hmmm thats a good one that I havent thought about as much...
MAX + The Ghosts by The Real Tuesday Weld: That survivors guilt... lyrics arent like a perfect match but I think it gets that sort of hollow feeling across. Hes haunted man... + Final Girl by Electric Youth: Ok its a little funny because har har Final Girl Trope but I mean HE IS ONE. ANd dont look at me its a nice song- "Others were gone, and you kept going on, You know they never really noticed, you were always different, One by one, They're all done, And you're the last one standing" + Going Grazy by Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks: HONESTLY this could go for all the characters but Im tagging it onto Max because hes the one who has to deal with the aftermath of losing everyone (sorry survivors guilt Max again </3) "Everyone's saying my mind is unsound, 'Cause I always see you when you aren't around" "They're gonna wrap me in a jacket of white, And lock me away in a room without light" is what cements it as a Max song for me
EEF + The Existential Threat by Sparks: Once again starting sad, I link this one specifically to his paranoia about the worms- especially with lines like "Can't they see the existential threat is on its way". Kind of exasperated no one else can see the danger (he thinks) hes in. + Wrecking Ball by Mother Mother: I know I know its basic but I cant help it!!! Eef anger issues arc we are shaking hands me too + Haunted by Laura Les: Eef struggles with people seeing him as "just like his father" and I think we can get some good angst out of this track if we keep that in mind. Especially the back half of the song with lyrics like "Do you think I'm frightening?" and "Mirrors shatter when I'm passing, broken glass and crashing" since he is just a reflection of his dad (to others at least). Also song good.
KENT + Goodbye Mr A by The Hoosiers: Mfw the disillusionment with authority sets in. I think the vibe fits when he had that little epiphany about how adults are fucked- not perfect but it gets the idea across me thinks. + I'm Gonna Win by Rob Cantor: Ties into his need to "win" aka be the best at everything, be in charge, all that jazz! Hell do whatever it takes to be successful, even if it hurts. That was a little emo + Toba the Tura by Forgive Durden ft Chris Conley: Not to be emo again but "They say you're gifted, well I just see a scared kid. They must have flipped it, your skills are latent. O, you snuffed the glow. Replaced it with coals. Threw away the throne... This mess that you've made, it's a six-foot grave. It's a home for your lonesome bones that remain. We'll disappear, but you'll stay here to rot" AND SO ON AND SO FOURTH representing his fall after it was revealed he was sick. He was referred to as "the uncrowned king" and was on top of the world but then POOF that all crumbled and it was made out that he basically deserved what happened to him. It would be fun to make a pmv of him with this song (Simplifying my thoughts a bit because Ive already written a LOT)
NEWT + I Earn My Life by Lemon Demon: Ok a little Kentcore but Im actually having a hard time coming up with songs for Newton so here we are, they can share. Newt existential crisis moment time I guess + Know How by The Crane Wives: POV Newt struggles with going through with the plans he makes to keep everyone safe (stopping Max from touching Kent, going back into the cabin, etc) "I am not brave, I am not brave, I keep my focus on what is safe, Youâ
drewâ
a line, madeâ
up your mind, And now I'm strugglingâ
to realize" And also maybe struggling with his place in the group and as a person in general- all that living through his cousin thing. "I gotta wrap my head around, What my heart is telling me, I've been trying to drown it out, Just because I know what I am, I am supposed to do now, Doesn't mean I know, Doesn't mean I know how" + On The Outside by Oingo Boingo: Idk man. Hes on the outside lookin in!! Loner nerd!! Its ok though, we still love him
SHEL + Bad Blood by Creature Feature: The lyrics speak for themselves: "I can guarantee I will do evil things, The only way that you can stop me now, Is if you put me in the ground, Somewhere I'll never be found" + Frontier Psychologist by The Avalanches: Hinges on the fact that the principal or whoever was like "Your sons a freak" and Shels mom was like "HES PERFECTLY FINE" while Shelley was like dismembering an animal or something + Johnny by American Murder Song: The songs good but theres this ONE LYRIC that sucks so the link provided is an edited version and also a lovely Warriors oc video I think you should all enjoy and support <3 Anyway Shel would be Johnny I could see this song being a scene in the book. Field trip to Shels house and they find his murder garden
If anyone wants more for Im not opposed to making another post :^)
#SORRY THIS TOOK A BIT#I had to use my brainpower and I am very easily distracted#max kirkwood#ephraim elliot#kent jenks#newton thornton#shelley longpre#the troop#the troop nick cutter

hi, again! I really enjoyed your writing, and I absolutely loved what you did with the Christmas prompts. and I'm wondering if you could do a talbott winger x autumn again? đ„ș just downright fluff/romantic to celebrate this month's spirit of love. thank you! đ
thank you for requesting, im glad you liked it! i hope you enjoy this one and im sorry for the long wait. and apologies if it was short, i was struggling a little for a prompt. :((
happy valentineâs day! đâš
Autumn smiles secretly to herself as she turns to the next page in her book; a biography of medieval witch Irma Morgason. She has a project on it for history but this time they were allowed to pick their subject, and the blonde finds that she actually rather enjoys getting to know the renowned witch.
It also helps that Talbott sits directly beside her, his own book propped on his knee as he studies for his own project.
It has long since become routine for them. Studying. In fact, Talbott has once commented that he even puts it in his schedule, seeing as studying of this such attentive kind is unfortunately far from a commonplace for the young cursebreaker. It had made her smile at the time, and even still manages to do so whenever she thinks of it.
Today was different though. Today, Talbott had been noticeably fidgety, something very uncharacteristic for the Ravenclaw. Sheâs even noticed that he has made significantly less progress in his book than she.
Despite the closeness and intimacy of the moment, this makes Autumn frown.
âTalbott,â She does her best to whisper after a while, closing her book and diligently saving the page. âSomethingâs wrong.â
He looks up to her and for a moment she thinks he will try to argue, even opens his mouth to do so, but he closes it quickly. With a pensive shake of his head, his brows pinch together slightly in thoughtfulness before he, too, sighs and shuts his book.
âYouâre right,â He says in that matter-of-fact tone that only he can manage. âThereâs...well, thereâs something Iâve been meaning to ask you.â
Autumn tries not to frown further in confusion. âSure.â
Talbott chews anxiously on her lower lip, an action she has never seen him perform before. It strikes her here that whatever it is he wishes to say, it certainly is not easy for him. What could it be?
Clearing his throat, Talbott exhales sharply. âAs you know, a certain holiday is coming up soon.â
âValentineâs Day.â Autumn answers simply.
He seems to hesitate, but nods his confirmation. âYes. And, while Iâve never been overly fond of this holiday in the past...I suppose Iâve been giving it more consideration this year.â
Autumn gulps, her pulse jumping. âOh?â
âI guess this year...I actually have someone I want to spend it with,â His eyes jump back to hers now from where they had been trained somewhere off behind her shoulder. And, after checking to make sure the gesture was okay with her, ventures a hand out to grab hers sitting on her knee. âAutumn, would you maybe like..to be my valentine this year?â
Her cheeks flush deeply and Autumn can feel the way her lips split to curl into a wide grin, her cheeks hurting from the strain. Talbott seems to relax slightly at this though his posture remains stern and straight.
âYes!â Autumn gasps out in a giggle, earning her some harsh glares and a chorus of âshhhhâ from her peers. She apologizes quietly and then turns back to Talbottâa look of fierce endearment in his eyesâwith her barely contained smile. âYes,â She whispers again. âIâd love to be your valentine.â
The smile he gives her in return sheâs sure could rival the sun.
