My comic is so pretty...
The hiatus is letting me take a little extra time on these episodes, and I'm definitely putting it to good use!!!
#almost done with my 8th episode... which will give me. two weeks. of buffer...#id really like at LEAST a month... but to be more comfortable id like two#which means 2-6 more episodes before I come back!#I've got about 7 weeks so its possible. but i do still have to finish book 4#so much to do ..........#I decided for my next comic im doing 3 updates a month.#having 10 days instead of 7 to make an episode is such a huge huge huge difference...#difference in quality and in my health!#anyways the comic is really pretty im really happy with the work im doing rn#the environments especially. im getting to spend a nice amount of time on them and theyre turning out so nicely#its nice to be able to write with a lot of different environments and not have to redo panels when I get to them cause of time#cause every time theres a wild angle? you need a new background...#so sometimes. often actually. there just isnt the time to make the backgrounds for those and i have to make them more flat...#which is fine. it doesnt really affect anything narratively. but. idk. it's kinda sad right?#anyways yeah! 10 days will be much better.#36 episodes a year is about what ive been uploading with my hiatuses on the weekly schedule anyways!#so might as well cut out that super stressful middleman and just commit to that#52 a year is just such a huge difference and i have to accept its not possible to me#i will hurt myself trying to do that. and i want to make comics my whole life!#so i cant push myself that hard now and sacrifice my future. we're gonna go slower after this...#anyways yeah cant wait to come back but also time. if I could get an extra week like a secret one just for me#where theres no chores no nothin just me and my work#thatd be great! so go ahead and do what you gotta do to give me a little pocket dimension#me: ugh i want to return right now...#the more logical me: NO we need the time to finish everything!!!!!! NOT right now!!!!#time and time again#ttawebcomic#comic panels#hiatus stuff#adam and steve

Just me and my overactive mind facing the nighttime again đ
#hopefully the meds work but while waiting for them to kick in I get so damn nervous#and sometimes I do get nights where even on my full dose my anxiety is too overpowering and I just. Do Not Sleep#I mean I do eventually but not without spiraling first :')#way before I was prescribed sleep meds my longest was 3 nights without sleep while on a VERY stressful trip#I felt like I was gonna die and I did not sleep until I got off the plane and was back at home#(this was like 15 years ago already but it still haunts me fhfgsgdh)#my best friend and I were having a conversation today#and she was like 'not sleeping can make you hallucinate right?'#and I was like :') I get the hallucinations in other scenarios too#BUT I also get what she meant#not sleeping is really bad for me mentally which is why I can't do 'sleep restriction therapy'#and fun fact#a lot of my OCD obsessions revolve around sleep!!!#which is 'awesome' because laying in bed with insomnia makes my OCD flare up so like#the two get to feed off each other and make my life a living hell!!!#and don't even get me started on my sleep paralysis episodes#(which I like to think of as just my brain misfiring but that my aunt tells me is saints or demons trying to talk to me)#'cause she hallucinates too but hers are like 'spiritual' or whatever#same with my mom's hallucinations as well#and to add fuel to the dumpster fire of my mind and body is the fact I've been overcaffeinating again#which I've known not to do ever since I was in middle school and saw the pediatric cardiologist who specifically said 'hey don't do that'#fast-forward to adulthood and I still haven't learned how to handle anything#like. I have heart meds and sleep meds and migraine meds and IBS meds#and yes meds are good but like. I know you need to incorporate lifestyle changes as well#which I do for like 2 weeks until the next time I fuck up#I've been so irresponsible lately but like. ESPECIALLY today#didn't eat#took some meds on an empty stomach and forgot to take my other ones at all#had too much caffeine#stressed out over some stupid situations thanks to overthinking

a/n. HIGHLY HIGHLY inspired by season 2 episode 1 of euphoria! this is a work of pure fiction and is NOT a reflection of how i view the members. despite writing this story, i DO NOT condone the dangerous choices the characters in this fic make and DO NOT encourage others to do so! read at your own discretion. also, very special thanks to @zreamy for beta-reading this for me!!
When you were six, you spent Halloween night lying on a hospital bed dressed as Hannah Montana.
Everything happened so fast; one moment, you were trick-or-treating with your father and younger sister while scarfing down a Snickers bar for the first time (a king-sized one at that), and the next, your dad was rushing you to the hospital in a panic, tears in his eyes as he encouraged you to stay awake in the backseat.
By the time youâd arrived at the hospital, your body had gone completely limp, and your father struggled to carry both you and your younger sister into the hospital lobby. From what you can remember, it was like a scene from a movie: seeing your dad cry for the first time, being wheeled into an unfamiliar bright room on a mobile bed, all while dressed as your favorite popstar.
The scariest part of the night was shortly after arriving at the hospital and catching a glimpse of your reflection, not recognizing the person staring back at you. The blonde wig and blue eye contacts were to be expected, but the swollen face and half-lidded eyes were another. Had you been able to breathe (let alone talk), you likely wouldâve given your sister a classic Halloween jumpscare.
Your mother had arrived only a few minutes after you did, yelling at your father loud enough to have the hospital staff threaten to kick her out. âYou forgot she was allergic to peanuts?! Where was her fucking EpiPen?!â
Your dad sighed, running a hand across his face, âI forgot to pick it up. Iâve been busy withâŚyou know.â
She scoffs, âYou donât think Iâve been busy too?! Especially now that we have to meet with the divorce lawyer once a week?!â
Your ears perk up at that, âDivorce?â
You hadnât known much about the true meaning of divorce, except that itâs something your friendâs parents had gone through, and now he gets two of everything. Two birthdays, two Christmases, two lives. So simple yet so perfect, what child wouldnât dream of that?
Your parents, who hadnât even known you were awake, silence themselves immediately. Tears quickly form in your motherâs eyes as she realizes theyâd been caught, trying their best to keep the news of their divorce as quiet as possible, waiting for the right moment to explain to you and your sister, Yuna, the real meaning of it, and how different your lives would be.
It dawns on them that thereâs no point trying to keep this secret any longer. You were a smart kid, it was probably only a matter of time before you found out on your own, anyway.Â
All in one night, you managed to survive a near-death experience, only to be followed by the news of your parentsâ divorce. And somehow, at twenty-three years old, watching Lee Heeseung flirt with random girls at a Halloween party is much worse than everything you experienced that cursed night in 2007.
âCan you at least pretend that youâre having a good time?!â You can barely hear Minjeong over how loud the music is, her words fading in and out as you take a sip from your cup.
âI am having a good time, isnât it obvious?â you reply, showing Minjeong your best fake smile.
Grinning, Minjeong shakes her head at you. âNot at all. Here, need a refill?â
Without waiting for your response, Minjeong hops off the kitchen counter and snatches the red solo cup in your hand. You donât bother protesting, sighing as you rest your weight against the marble countertop, while she adds a mix of different ingredients to your cup.
When sheâs not looking, you tilt your head in the direction of the living room, hoping to get a glance at Heeseung through the sea of drunken college students.
The only word that can be used to describe your relationship with Heeseung is âunfortunateâ. You were together for six months, and spent most of the time fighting, making up, and having sex. It was a relentless, tiresome cycle you allowed yourself to succumb to just for the sake of not having to be alone.
Most of the arguments would start with you questioning Heeseungâs loyalty, growing suspicious upon seeing his username pop up in the likes section of random girls on social media. In hindsight, it seems like a silly thing to get upset over. The entire purpose of social media was to connect and interact with others anyway, but, why was it always girls? And why would these girls suddenly start watching your stories?
Breaking up with him was harder than you couldâve imagined, and youâre sure you wouldnât have been able to do it without Minjeong by your side, encouraging you through the entire process.Â
The aftermath was embarrassingly excruciating. For two weeks, you locked yourself in your bedroom and fell into a cycle of sleeping and crying, occasionally taking breaks to eat or use the restroom. At one point, your phone spent a full forty-eight hours without being turned on at all, causing your loved ones to panic upon not being able to get ahold of you.
Slowly but surely you managed to build yourself back up, finally starting to feel like your old self when Heeseung suggested the two of you get back together.
You were hesitant, of course, telling Heeseung you were willing to work things out if he can prove to you heâs changed and ready to be the loyal, doting boyfriend he shouldâve been from the start.
So no, youâre not together. But youâre also not not together. Itâs confusing.
A football player is blocking your view of Heeseung (dressed as a cowboy), you have to stand on your tip-toes to catch a glimpse of him talking to â wait, who is that?
âPatrick would not stand for this.â Minjeong interrupts your thoughts, poking fun at your costume choice of a female Patrick Bateman.
You shrug, pretending to act clueless. âI wasnât doing anything.â
Minjeong rolls her eyes, shoving your cup back into your hand âSure, you werenât. Come on, cheers with me.â
âTo what?â you ask, suspiciously eyeing the drink sheâs just handed you. Minjeong isnât that great of a cook, so you can imagine sheâs not the best bartender either. In fact, itâd be best if she stayed far away from any sort of kitchen appliance.
She thinks for a moment then excitedly extends her cup out to you. âTo getting over our shitty ex-boyfriends!â
Minjeongâs ex was Park Sunghoon, they dated on and off for a year and a half before calling it quits over the summer. You donât remember the exact reason why they broke up, there were many different factors. It didnât matter, they were bad for each other anyway and the relationship was entirely too toxic for either of their wellbeing.Â
You donât know much about Sunghoon aside from the things Minjeong felt comfortable enough to share with you and the fact that he is on the universityâs hockey team with Heeseung. Youâve probably had a handful of conversations and interactions with Sunghoon in the entire time of knowing him, and are more than happy with things staying that way.
Holding your cup up high, you match Minjeongâs smile and tap your cup against hers. âTo getting over our ex-boyfriends!â
The drink is disgusting. You quickly turn away so you donât hurt your best friendâs feelings by gagging at the taste. She manages to down her entire cup while you make quick work of pouring a majority of yours down the sink behind you.
Minjeong stares down at her empty cup with wide eyes, licking the remains off her plump lips. âHoly shit, that was so good. Do you want more? Iâm gonna make myself another cup.â
âIâm good for now, thanks,â you say, snatching your cup away when she reaches for it. Minjeong raises a brow at you, and you follow up with, âI should wait before having another drink.â
She nods understandingly, and you give yourself a mental pat on the back for coming up with that so quickly.
While sheâs occupied with making another drink, your eyes trail back over towards Heeseung. The football player from earlier is gone, and now that your view is no longer obstructed, you watch in confusion as Heeseung now has this mystery girl by the waist, leaning his head down close to her lips as she whispers something in his ear.
This really is worse than Halloween 2007.
âHey.â You tap Minjeongâs shoulder. âIâll be right back, okay?â
She follows your line of sight, scowling when it lands on Heeseung. âYN, donât make a big deal out of this. You guys technically arenât even together.â
âRelax, Iâm just going to say hi.â You assure her, moving to head towards Heeseung when Minjeong stops you with a hand on your chest. âThink about this, please.â
You sigh, using your free hand to clutch hers and slowly bring it down from your chest. âIâll be fine. Be back soon so we can dance, okay?â
Minjeong knows she wonât be able to stop you once your mind is made up, all she can do is sigh and wish you the best as you make a beeline for your ex. Maybe not the greatest idea on your part, but youâre too tipsy to think rationally.
Heeseung doesnât notice you when you first approach, it takes the mystery girl awkwardly gesturing in your direction for him to finally look over at you, immediately dropping his hand from the girlâs waist. âYN!â He shouts, a little too excitedly, nervously scratching the back of his neck.
A few minutes later, you find yourself in an unfamiliar bedroom with Heeseung on step one of your toxic cycle â arguing.
âYouâre overreacting,â Heeseung claims. âWe were just talking.â
âAbout what, Heeseung? Why did you have to hold her by the fucking waist to talk to her?â
âBecause! She was drunk! I was holding her up so she wouldnât fall and hurt herself!â
âWho gives a shit if she falls? Sheâs not your fucking girlfriend.â
âYeah, well, neither are you.âÂ
His words shouldnât hurt as much as they do because heâs right; despite trying to work on things, you arenât his girlfriend. You were the one who said you werenât ready to get back together, not him. You shouldnât be upset with him for talking to other girls.
And yet, here you are with tears in your eyes.Â
You nod silently, avoiding his gaze as a lump forms in your throat.Â
Heeseung must realize how much his words have affected you if the way he curses at himself, and shamefully runs a hand across his face is anything to go by. âListen, Iâm sor-â
âDonât bother.â You stand from the bed, holding back a sob.âEverything about this was a mistake. Youâll never change.â
Heeseung reaches a hand out to grab your arm as you push past him. âYN, I didnât mean it.â
âYeah, Heeseung, you did mean it,â you say, pulling the bedroom door open.
There is no point in trying to reason with Heeseung. You know in a matter of time heâll apologize, youâll accept it like you always do, have make-up sex, then lecture him about how important it is that he changes before you can consider getting back together. Another endless cycle youâve fallen into.
Stepping back into the party, you head in the opposite direction of where Minjeong would be, not wanting to run into her in your current state and bump right into someone dressed as Spiderman, causing the little remains of your drink to spill over and knock to the ground. Youâre grateful that a crucial part of Patrick Batemanâs costume involved a plastic raincoat, or else your outfit would have suffered a dark blue stain.
âOh my God, YN! Iâm so sorry!â Spider-Man apologizes with a thick Australian accent.
âJake?â You question, gesturing for him to take the mask off.
He follows your command, face bright red from embarrassment or alcohol. Probably both.
âYeah, haha, hey. Really sorry about that, I can get you a new drink.â Jake turns in the direction of the kitchen before you stop him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
âItâs fine, Jake. Do you know where the bathroom is?â
Jake thinks for a moment, scratching at the small amount of stubble thatâs graced his chin. He really does make a perfect Spider-Man, and if you werenât so upset, you probably wouldâve stayed and told him that.
âUpstairs, all the way down the hall. Wait! Itâs occupied, people are doing coke in there, I think.â
Great.
You sigh. âDo you know if thereâs another one I can use?â
âIâm pretty sure thereâs one.â Jake turns, pointing to a door at the end of the hallway. âRight there. I saw a few people come in and out.â
Thanking Jake, you follow his direction and head to the door at the end of the hallway.
Itâs a garage, not a bathroom. But, as long as you get a moment alone, you donât really care where you are.
After shutting the door behind you, you sit on top of a washing machine and flinch at the cold metal sending chills down your thighs.
You shouldnât have come out tonight, you donât even care about Halloween to begin with. Itâs an overrated holiday, you wish you wouldâve convinced Minjeong to stay in with you and have a classic horror movie marathon while eating takeout and pausing to hand out (peanut-free) candy to trick-or-treaters.
Though, youâre sure you still wouldâve spent the better half of the night obsessively tapping through Heeseungâs Instagram stories or trying to spot him in the background of someone elseâs. It was a lose-lose situation no matter what, and you find yourself wondering if thereâs an end to this unhealthy cycle.
Despite being so young when it happened, youâre sure your parentsâ divorce obstructed your view of love and how a healthy adult relationship should work. Your father went on to have short-lived relationships with younger women who were using him for his money, while your mother remained single and chose to criticize her ex-husbandâs current lifestyle choices. They couldnât even co-parent in peace, always making petty comments to the other during drop-offs and pick-ups, finding any and every little thing to start arguing about.
One time in particular, after spending the weekend at your fatherâs house, your mother slapped him in a Dairy Queen parking lot upon realizing his new girlfriend had taken you and your sister to get your ears pierced. You didnât actually see the slap happen, but it was loud enough to echo through the empty parking lot and hard enough to leave a red mark on his face.
The memory has tears forming in your eyes for the umpteenth time tonight, but before any of them have the chance to trickle down, the garage door swings open.
You turn, and Park Sunghoon (dressed as a police officer) is staring back at you with a confused look on his face. He opens and closes his mouth a few times before pointing in the direction of the party. âUh, Jake said this was the bathroom.â
Shaking your head, you offer him a small smile. âNo, the bathroomâs upstairs but itâs being used. If you really have to go, Iâm pretty sure that door leads to the backyard.â You nod your head in the direction of the other door, and Sunghoon picks up on what youâre implying.
He thanks you before jogging over to the exit, setting his cup down on a metal dog crate before turning the knob and pushing open the door.
Sunghoon stands far enough out of frame that you only see a portion of his backside, and once the sound of him pissing on the grass hits your ears, you wonder why he didnât bother to close the door in the first place.
Men.
He clears his throat awkwardly, âSo, you sââ
You cut him off. âLetâs just wait until youâre done, please.â
Sunghoon nods, mumbling, âRight, right.â
He finishes up a few seconds later, zipping his pants back up and properly adjusting himself before returning to the garage, closing the door behind him and picking his drink back up in the process. âSo, Iâm guessing youâreâŚupset because of Heeseung?â
You let out a sad chuckle that sounds more like a sob. âLucky guess. Heâs just so fucking confusing, I canât take it.â
âYouâll be alright,â Sunghoon responds, slipping his phone from his pants pocket and unlocking it. âHeeseungâs a douchebag.â
This catches you off guard, and youâre laughing before you even realize it. âIsnât he your friend?â
Sunghoon shakes his head, narrowing his eyes at his phone as he scrolls. âNot really. We donât talk much if it isnât related to hockey or school.â
A beat of silence passes, then you ask, âWhen Heeseung and I were together, did he mention anything about cheating on me? Or talking to other girls?â
Sunghoon glances up at you for a split second, taking in how sad and hopeful you look before returning his gaze to the weather app heâd been using to distract himself.
He wasnât sure if Heeseung went as far as physically cheating on you, but he was definitely talking to other girls behind your back; proudly showing the hockey team countless nudes and vulgar photos they would send him, some of them coming from your own friends.Â
Sunghoon canât tell you this, youâre upset enough as it is.
âI wouldnât know, I always tuned him out whenever he talked.â
Though heâs not sure what answer you were hoping for, Sunghoon can tell youâre a little disappointed by his response. Truthfully, he didnât feel like getting involved in anyone elseâs drama. If you wanted clarity from Heeseung, you shouldâve gone straight to the source.
âSorry,â you apologize, feeling slightly embarrassed that you probably made things awkward, âhave you seen Minjeong?â
Your attempt to change the subject seems to work, because Sunghoon scoffs loudly at your question and shoves his phone back in his pocket. âHave I seen the girl that just spent ten minutes yelling at me? Yeah, we may have crossed paths.â He says sarcastically, shaking his head before taking a sip of his drink.
âYell at you? For what?â
âShe fuckinââŚI guess before we broke up she said I should dress up as a cop for Halloween and I mustâve said no, and now sheâs saying I only dressed up like this,â he gestures towards himself, âto spite her. Fuckinâ insanity.â
âWell, did you?â You canât help but ask, Minjeong would always go on for hours about how spiteful of a person Sunghoon was.
He shrugs, mindlessly tracing the rim of the red solo cup with his pointer finger, âMaybe, but this is all that was left in my size at the party store.â
Youâre surprised Sunghoon makes you laugh as much as he does, and maybe thatâs a bad thing since itâs making you enjoy talking to him. Though he technically isnât your enemy, heâs definitely not a person you should enjoy having a conversation with. Itâs not appropriate, heâs the ex boyfriend of your best friend; all your ties to him were cut the moment Minjeong broke up with him.
You should tell him to leave, that youâre really upset over Heeseung and prefer to be alone, but you donât. Instead, you keep the conversation going, laughing every joke he makes and completely forgetting why you were upset to begin with.
Halfway through telling Sunghoon about the horrid drink Minjeong had prepared for you, your legs grow numb from having been sat on for so long. You untuck them from underneath your body, not thinking much of it as you continue on with the story, legs dangling against the cold washing machine.
Sunghoon takes notice, though, his eyes quickly darting down to the space between your legs and the white fabric thatâs suddenly visible to him due to the short length of your skirt. You miss it the first time he does it, but the second and third time are hard to ignore, especially now that he doesnât seem to mind being caught.
You really should cross your legs or call him out on his staring. Or maybe even get up and leave entirely.
To no oneâs surprise you donât do either of those things and opt to keep your panties visible enough for Sunghoon to see while you continue to talk his ear off about his ex-girlfriend. Thereâs something unspoken happening between the two of you, and itâs exciting yet confusing since this is the longest conversation youâve had with him in the two years youâve known each other.Â
The strangest part of it all is that youâre just now realizing how attractive Sunghoon is, Sure, heâd always been a good looking guy, but youâd always seen him as Minjeongâs property and never paid much attention to his face out of respect for her.
But Minjeong no longer has a claim on him, and now you really notice the perfectly placed moles that graced the side of his nose and under his eye. He really was a sight to behold, you often find yourself stumbling over your words as you speak to him, becoming flustered over the intensity of the eye contact heâd been making with you.
ââŚmy throat is still burning and itâs been, like, twenty minutes.â You say with a laugh, watching as Sunghoon finishes off his own drink.
He sets the empty cup down, licking the remaining alcohol on his lips before smacking them, âYeah, I wouldnât trust her in a kitchen. Iâm not that good either, though. There was this one time I had to make brownies for our hockey teamâs bake sale and they turned out awful. Itâs like, half of them were watery and the other half were burnt. So weird.â
âThat doesnât even sound possible.â
âIâm serious! Hold on, I probably have a picture.âÂ
It takes Sunghoon approximately forty-five seconds of scrolling through his Snapchat memories to find a photo of those godforsaken brownies, and sure enough, they really are a watery, burnt mess. Not that you can even focus on the picture to begin with now that heâs sitting next to you on the washing machine, and youâre finally able to see him up close.
Sunghoonâs words go in one ear and out the other, because now youâre close enough to smell the cologne heâs dabbed on the back of his neck, and notice the metal handcuffs hooked in his belt loop, and it makes it hard to focus on anything else. Especially his uninteresting story about those stupid fucking brownies.
When Sunghoon locks his phone, you take it as a sign that heâs finished with his story and let out another laugh, âNot sure what I was expecting, but it wasnât that.â
âIâm a man of many talents,â he jokes, slightly slurring his words.Â
Maybe itâs the fact that his voice sounds deeper than usual, or that heâs staring right at you with half lidded eyes, or that he's started playing with the handcuffs on his waist, but Sunghoon looks dangerously attractive right now.Â
You gulp, looking down at your lap, âWell, at least one of us had a nice drink.â
Sunghoon nods, running his fingernails along your plastic raincoat, âWanna taste mine?â He asks, eyes darting down to your lips for a split second.
If there was ever a time to get up and leave, it shouldâve been now. The rational part of your brain is telling you to push Sunghoon away and return to the party and forget this encounter with him ever happened. But you canât move, and if youâre being honest, you donât even want to.
Youâre stuck in place, heart beating out of your chest as Sunghoon leans in closer to you. You feel dizzy in the best way possible, and a part of you feels sick for enjoying the moment as much as you do.Â
His breath fans your cheek, and the faint scent of alcohol on it shouldâve been enough to remind you that you shouldnât be in this situation with him. Still, you donât move.
Right before Sunghoon has the chance to kiss you, the door swings open and you jolt away from each other out of shock, clutching your chest as you watch Jake jog into the garage.
âYou guys seen my vape?â he asks, a little out of breath.
âIâŚno, Jake. Why would it be in the garage?â Sunghoon asks, hopping down from the washing machine. He offers a hand to help you down and you ignore it, finally starting to come back to your senses.
âDude, I donât fucking know! It was just in my pocket and now itâs gone, it could be anywhere. Help me look!â
Spending your night in a garage helping Jake look for a strawberry-flavored vape doesnât sound ideal in the slightest; now is the perfect time to leave.
Heading in the direction of the party, you pause when Sunghoon calls out your name, a slight shakiness to his voice. âKeep an eye out for me, yeah?â
Another beat of silence passes, then you nod and say, âYeah.â
In your defense, thereâs nothing to feel guilty over. All you did was have a conversation with Sunghoon, and keeping an eye out for him doesnât necessarily mean anything else will happen, right?
You try not to think too much about it as you exit the garage, holding in a laugh when Sunghoon says something along the lines of, âYouâre a grown ass man, Jake.â
What Minjeong lacks in cooking, she makes up for in dancing.
While you wouldnât consider yourself to be on her level of dancing, youâd say youâre good enough to keep up with her at a crowded party. If swaying to the music, holding hands, and grinding on each other counts as dancing, that is.
âYouâre too stiff; loosen up, babe,â she comments, fingers interlocked with yours.
âSorry,â you reply, slightly frustrated since you donât feel like dancing in the first place. âWhat were you saying?â
âOh, yeah!â Minjeong turns to face you, moving your arms to drape them around her shoulders. âThen he said I was being crazy, and that he only got the costume because it was all that was left in his size, as if I believe that.â
âSorry that happened,â you say, and it comes out more sarcastic than you had intended it to.Â
Minjeong takes notice of this, raising a brow at you before slipping her arms under your raincoat and pulling you closer to her. âYou okay?â
The two of you are pressed so close up against each other that it almost feels romantic, and youâre sure if there was another drink in your system youâd probably lean in and kiss her.Â
You nod. âJust thinking about Heeseung.â
Fake offended, Minjeongâs jaw drops. âYouâre dancing with the hottest girl at this party, and all you can think about is your ex? Iâm hurt, YN.â
Truth be told, her ex was the one you were thinking about, certainly not your own.
Not a whole lot of time has passed since you left Sunghoon in the garage, but you make sure to keep your promise of keeping an eye out for him upon returning to the party. Youâre certain that on the outside you probably look panicked and frantic, eyes darting all over the place for any sign of Sunghoon.
âWell,â Minjeong starts, tugging on your tie. âSince youâre thinking about your ex, itâs only fair that I think of mine; and there he is.â
You stop yourself from excitedly shouting, âWhere?!â and watch as Minjeong subtly nods towards the staircase.
Sure enough, Sunghoon is leaning against the banister, eyes zeroing in on you with his hands shoved in his pockets.
âHeâs been watching me for, like, ten minutes. Probably wants to see if you and I will make out, fucking pervert,â she says, rolling her eyes.
Minjeong has it wrong, Sunghoon has been watching you for the past ten minutes. Ever since he finished helping Jake find that stupid vape, heâs had his sights set on you and you only.
That other part was probably true, though.
You swallow the lump in your throat and say, âSuch a pervert.â It comes out a tad more robotic than you were going for, but you tried your best.Â
Once Sunghoon is sure that Minjeong is distracted, he mouths, âBathroom,â before immediately turning around and jogging up the steps.
Fuck, are you really about to do this?Â
Your eyes dart from Minjeong to the staircase, and you canât believe youâre even considering going upstairs to meet her ex. Everything about this predicament is sick and twisted and perfectly on brand for Halloween.Â
But, somehow, itâs not sick enough to stop you.
âHey, I think Iâm gonna get some air; Iâm feeling kinda dizzy,â you lie, hoping itâs believable enough.
Minjeong stops dancing immediately, a look of genuine concern on her face. âHere, Iâll come with you.â
âNo, no. You keep having fun, Iâll be back soon. Make another drink for me, okay? Iâm sure Iâll need it,â you assure her with a smile, taking her hands into yours.
âFine, Iâll be here. But the only drink Iâm making for you is a Ginger Ale.â
Thank God.
After giving Minjeong a kiss on the cheek (feeling guilty as ever), you slip past her and head towards the direction of the backyard. Once Minjeong is fully out of sight, you switch paths and sprint up the staircase, bumping into and angering a few people along the way.Â
You keep your head down once you reach the second floor, speed walking to the end of the hallway and avoiding eye contact with everyone you walk by until you reach the bathroom.
The door is closed and locked, of course, and thatâs when it dawns on you that this could be one big, elaborate prank from Sunghoon. You could open the door and be met with a camera in your face with Sunghoon recording, laughing maniacally before mentioning something about telling Minjeong everything and that he stayed loyal to her the entire time.
Unfortunately for you, even that possibility doesnât scare you away from knocking on the door and saying, âItâs me, YN.â
The knob twists before the door is pushed open, barely enough room to slide in discreetly, but you manage anyway.
Using your body weight to press the door shut, Sunghoon reaches behind you to make sure itâs locked. âYou really came.â
You hate that he sounds shocked, as if he had some faith that you wouldnât risk your friendship with Minjeong for a few minutes with him, of all people. Heâs not even your type.
âDonât make a big deal out of this.â
Sunghoon scoffs as if youâve said the most obvious thing in the world. âTrust me, I wonât.â
You donât have time to overthink the meaning of his words because before you can even realize it, Sunghoon is pushing you further up against the door, and heâs kissing you, finally kissing you.
This kiss is everything but soft, and it knocks the wind out of you. Sunghoonâs hand cups your jaw, tilting your head sideways to allow himself further into your mouth. Itâs wet and sloppy, youâre certain that dancing with Minjeong was far more romantic than this. You kiss back anyway, wrapping your arms around his shoulder and grabbing a fistful of his hair, shivers running down your spine when he groans into your mouth. Without breaking the kiss, Sunghoon reaches down to slip the raincoat off of you, pressing your body closer against him to ease it off.Â
He pulls away slowly, his blown-out eyes focused on the string of saliva that connects your mouths to one another. âFuck,â he groans at the sight, moving his mouth to kiss along your jaw.
You let out a moan when you feel his tongue slide against a particularly sensitive spot on your neck, tilting your head back against the door. Sunghoon takes notice of this, focusing his attention on that same spot, sucking on it hard enough to leave a mark before teasingly scraping his canines along the area.
Quickly, your fingers move to unbutton your shirt, suddenly feeling warm all over. Youâre only halfway done when thereâs a sudden banging on the other side of the door, startling you enough to halt your movements.
âIgnore it,â Sunghoon mutters against your neck. âTheyâll go away.â
They donât go away, they actually start to bang louder and harder once a few seconds pass.
Sunghoon lets out a frustrated sigh, lifting his head away from you, âOccupied!â
âSunghoon?â You hear Minjeongâs voice on the other side of the door, causing you and Sunghoon both to freeze.
âM-Minjeong?â He stutters.
âI have to piss,â Minjeong whines, messing with the doorknob. âHurry up!â
Sunghoon must sense your panic and the fact that you feel like bursting into loud sobs, because he places his hand over your mouth before mouthing for you to stay quiet.
Minjeong doesnât let up on trying to open the door, and youâre sure that with just enough force, she could probably get it open.
âIâm using it! Canât you just go outside?â
âIâm a fucking girl, Sunghoon. Just hurry up and finish.â
âJustâŚjust hold on a second, Minnie.â
Minnie? Fuck is that about?
Sunghoon pulls you away from the door, keeping his voice and movements as low as possible. âYouâre gonna have to hide in the bathtub, just lay down flat and wait for her to leave.â
âWhat?! What if she sees me?!â You whisper, silently praying Minjeong canât hear you over the music.
âShe wonât, okay? Iâll pull the shower curtain back. Itâs the only option we have right now unless you want to jump out the window.â
You shake your head. âThere has to be a better idea.â
On the other side of the door, Minjeong begins to grow impatient, anxiously tapping her foot against the floor. Sheâs had three full drinks and is on the verge of busting the bathroom door down if Sunghoon doesnât open it soon. She focuses her gaze downward, raising a brow at a piece of plastic thatâs been slightly pushed under the crack of the door. What is it? A shower curtain? It canât be, why would the shower curtain be on the floor? It looks more likeâŚ
âFuck! The cops!â A drunk voice yells before the entire house panics, sirens and flashing blue and red lights fill the house.
Inside the bathroom, Sunghoon had still been trying to convince you to lay down in the bathtub when even more panic sets in.
Minjeong bangs on the door one last time. âSunghoon, the cops are here, you need to leave! Fuck, I gotta find YN!â She yells before taking off down the hall.
Police officers are raiding the house, and all Minjeong can focus on is finding you and making sure you're okay, while you were seconds away from hooking up with her ex. What a fucking nightmare.
âWe gotta jump out the window,â Sunghoon says, hurrying over to the other side of the bathroom and forcing the window open.
âWhat?! Why?!â
âPeople are doing fucking illegal drugs at this party, YN, and now the fucking cops are here. My dad works for the city and if-â He pauses to grunt, struggling to get the window all the way open. â-news spreads that his son was at a house party that was full of people doing fucking cocaine his career will be fucking over. Fuck!â
This doesnât explain why you have to jump out of the window with him, but you narrow it down to the possibility of Sunghoon just wanting to be around you for a little longer. And as pathetic as it sounds, you find yourself smiling at the possibility.
Sunghoon finally gets the window fully open, quickly hiking one leg over. âItâs not that far of a jump, weâll be fine. Iâll go first then let you know when to jump.â
âYouâll catch me?â you ask, buttoning your shirt back up. Now that the raincoat is gone, you probably resemble a perverted schoolgirl costume.
Sunghoon sighs. âYes, YN, I am going to catch you. Just be ready to run, my carâs down the street.â
He doesnât give you any time to protest before hiking his other leg out the window and jumping down; you watch in horror as he lands face down. If it werenât for your current predicament, youâre sure you wouldâve gotten the ick.
It takes Sunghoon a few seconds to get back up, brushing himself off before standing, âCome on! Hurry!â
Despite your hesitancy, you follow Sunghoonâs action and hike a leg out of the window, staring down at him. âAre you sure about this?!â
âIf you want me to catch you, you better jump now!â
Halloween fucking sucks.
You swear to yourself as you hike your other leg out of the window, saying a quick prayer as you brace yourself to jump.
Sunghoon doesnât exactly catch you, but he does brace your fall, which is good enough for you.Â
He groans in pain from the impact as you stand and dust yourself off, reaching a hand down to help him up. âSorry!â
Sunghoon stands, feeling a tad bit dizzy and lightheaded. âJust follow me.â
It isnât too late to turn around and find Minjeong and just leave with her. In fact, itâd be the morally correct thing to do in this situation. Not that you seem to care for morals.
You make a mental note to send Minjeong a text later as you run after Sunghoon.
Sunghoon is not that great of a driver, but this doesn't surprise you.
He's still somewhat tipsy, occasionally swerving along the empty back roads.
What makes it worse is that Minjeong has been calling and texting you nonstop, your phone practically burning a hole in your pocket as you ignore her relentless attempts.
Sunghoon is trying his hardest to stay focused on the road, but your phone ringing every few minutes was really starting to irritate him. "Just fucking answer her," he says, shaking his head.
"And say what? That I'm with you?"
Sunghoon isn't too pleased with your sarcasm and rolls his eyes, "Obviously not, YN; just do something to make her stop panicking."
That's way easier said than done, especially considering that you can barely even think about Minjeong without wanting to burst into tears. The guilt has already started to set in, and it has you questioning yourself and your morals.
You can't talk to Minjeong; it's too risky, but you can call your sister and ask her to cover for you.
Slipping your phone from your pocket, you force your eyes to unfocus and ignore the string of missed calls and messages from Minjeong, dialing your sister's phone number with trembling hands.
As always, Yuna answers on the fourth ring, sighing loudly into the phone before greeting you with a monotonous, "Hello?"
"Hey, um, I need you to help me with something," you keep your voice low, not wanting Sunghoon to hear your conversation despite being right next to him.
Yuna sighs again, "With what, YN?"
"The party I was at got raided by the cops, and we all ran, so if Minjeong calls you, I need you to tell her I'm with you," you say, your eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets when Sunghoon makes a sudden sharp turn.
"Sorry," he mutters under his breath, gripping the steering wheel tighter.
You hate that even now, you find him cute.
"Well, where are you?" Yuna asks, snapping you back to reality.
"I⌠it's not important, just please do me this favor."
Your sister scoffs, "You expect me to lie for you, and you can't even tell me the full story?"
"The full story isn't important, Yuna."
"Clearly, it is if you're asking me to lie to your best friend."
"Just tell her," Sunghoon groans, sounding slightly annoyed, "but make sure she doesn't tell anyone else."
Yuna doesn't have many friends, and the few she does have wouldn't even care about your drama, so it's not like she'd have anyone to share your business with. You hesitate anyway because of the principle of the situation, how just ten minutes ago you were unbuttoning your shirt for your best friend's ex. Maybe you're starting to come back to your senses because replaying the scene in your head has you cringing from embarrassment.
You lean your head against the window and squeeze your eyes shut, "I'm with Sunghoon."
The line goes silent for a few seconds, and you're worried you may have lost service from driving in such a rural area until Yuna sighs for a third time, "The pretty ones are never that bright."
"I swear it isn't like that," you plead, "just, please, help me out."
"And what will I get out of this?"
Of course, she wants something, classic younger sibling bullshit.
"Well, what do you want?"
"I don't knowâŚa normal older sister?"
"Yuna, I don't have time for this, will you help me or not?"
Bickering with Yuna was starting to give you a headache; you were seconds away from hanging up and coming up with a new plan entirely.
"After tonight, don't involve me in this anymore; I have my own shit to deal with."
You hold back a laugh at that as if Yuna does anything other than stay home and talk to the same two people. "I won't, I swear. I'll text you when I'm close to being home; let me know if Minjeong reaches out to you."
"Whatever, just get home safe and don't do anything else stupid," Yuna says through a yawn before immediately hanging up, not giving you the chance to say goodbye.
As much as you loved your sister, the two of you weren't exactly close. The divide started sometime during high school; your interests and friend groups never really aligned and only led you to stray further away from each other.
You being fairly well-known within your high school didn't help much, either. Countless random students would approach Yuna on the daily, asking if you were seeing anyone, begging her for your number, or even giving her small gifts and treats to pass along to you.Â
What annoyed her the most was that they never called her by her name, in their eyes, she was always known as "YN's sister", and nothing more than that.
You're sure Yuna doesn't hate you because of it, but it certainly didn't make her very fond of you.
"What'd she say?" Sunghoon asks, interrupting your thoughts.
"She agreed to cover for me tonight," you respond, gazing out the window, "pretty sure she's pissed, though."
"She'll get over it," Sunghoon taps the navigation system on his dashboard, "type in your address."
Despite making you jump out of a bathroom window, Sunghoon technically doesn't owe you anything. He never claimed he'd bring you back to his place to finish what you started; you quite literally only jumped because he told you to, under the pretense that maybe â just maybe â he'd want to hook up with you.Â
Clearly, that wasn't happening, at least not tonight. Having to jump out the window and then proceed to drive while tipsy must've knocked some sense into him, making him realize he'd been making way too many questionable choices all in one night.Â
You let out a disappointed sigh, hesitantly reaching out to type your home address into the car's GPS. The system buffers for a few seconds as it calculates the quickest route to your home before displaying an estimated travel time of thirty-eight minutes.
"Forty fucking minutes?!" Sunghoon shouts, causing you to jump.Â
He sighs, cursing under his breath before reaching forward and ending the navigation route. You sit up further in the seat, ready to ask Sunghoon what he's plotting before he starts typing "7/11".
You raise a brow at this, "Why're we going there?"
Sunghoon gestures towards the navigation system as if the answer is obvious, "Your house is forty minutes away, and I'm still kinda tipsy; I'm gonna need to pull over and get something other than alcohol in my system if I'm gonna be driving for that long." There's a slight slur to his words that had you weary about him driving, so pulling over to recharge isn't a bad idea.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Sunghoon managed to safely drive the two of you to the nearest 7/11, opting to pay seventeen dollars to park in a parking garage down the street instead of the shop's personal lot.
"This neighborhood isn't that safe; I don't want anyone breaking into my car," he claims, taking up two spots as he parks in the most secluded corner possible.
The neighborhood is fairly safe; he was just being dramatic.
The walk down the street is quick and slightly awkward, with you and Sunghoon stumbling every few steps yet refusing to hold onto the other for stability.
The two of you go your separate ways upon entering the shop, Sunghoon headed straight towards the snack aisle while you make your way to the slurpee machines. The difference in your priorities was humorous, with him wanting to focus on building up energy and you wanting nothing more than a quick sugar fix.
Blue raspberry isn't necessarily your go-to flavor, but it's the only flavor on the Slurpee machine that's currently working, so you fill your plastic cup to the brim before absentmindedly reaching for a straw.
Sunghoon is still prancing around the store by the time you've finished making your drink, and despite not being that hungry, you decide to kill time by strolling through the snack aisles.
The Snickers bars and Reese's Cups look tempting as always, but you refrain, sighing as you look over the selection of peanut-contaminated candy.
"Don't even bother," Sunghoon says from behind you, causing you to gasp in shock.Â
He pauses for a moment, staring at the array of snacks before grabbing a pack of Skittles and walking off.
The thought of Sunghoon being aware of your peanut allergy is as comforting as it is strange. You can't imagine this is something Minjeong randomly decided to tell him, and even if that is the case, why would he bother retaining that information? It's not like the two of you are friends.
Whatever, you're probably thinking about it too much.
After deciding on a package of powdered mini donuts and Haribo gummy bears, you proceed to the checkout counter and set your items down, looking over your shoulder at Sunghoon, who was selecting the last of his items.
The man behind the counter smiles at you, typing his employee ID number into the cash register, "How's your night going?"
"Horrible," you say, making the clerk laugh even though you weren't joking.
"Sorry to hear that," he responds, scanning your items, "your total came out toâŚ$6.12. Oh, hello, officer."
Despite not having done anything wrong, you nearly panic before remembering Sunghoon's unfortunate costume choice.
He nods at the man, setting his own items down on the counter, "Add these too. You guys take Apple Pay?" He asks, unlocking his phone.
"Oh, you don't have to pay for mine," you say, a nervous tremble in your voice.
Sunghoon shrugs, "No big deal."
Except it is a big deal. Sunghoon behaving like a boyfriend gentleman by paying for your items only made you like him even more, which is the exact opposite of what you need right now.
You sigh, taking a literal and metaphorical step back as Sunghoon taps his phone on the card reader.Â
"A cop and a schoolgirl, huh? These couple's costumes are starting to make less and less sense," the employee comments, eyes darting between you and Sunghoon.Â
"We're not a couple," Sunghoon responds, a little too quickly for your liking, but whatever.
The employee apologizes, embarrassed about his implications as he bags your items and wishes the two of you a safe trip home.
On the way back to Sunghoon's car, it dawns on you that Minjeong has stopped trying to get ahold of you, which is slightly worrisome considering that she's a person who wouldn't give up that easily.Â
Sunghoon climbs into the backseat this time, mumbling something about needing to rest and stretch out before driving you home. He sets the bag down on the center console, grabbing a few of his items before propping himself up against the door.
You do the same, retrieving your own items from the bag before slumping into your seat.Â
When you finally unlock your phone, a new voice memo from Yuna is waiting for you. Hesitantly, you hold your phone against your ear and hit play.
Yuna lets out a loud sigh, "So, you and Minjeong must have some sort of, like, telepathic connection because she called me as soon as I hung up on you. Anyways, I told her our cousin was also at the party and was able to, uh, give you a ride home once the cops came. Oh, and I told her your phone died and that you'd call her, um, later or in the morning. I'm not sure if she believed it, but she calmed down.
And, by the way, I meant it when I said I don't want to be involved in whatever this is after tonight. So, for everyone's sake, if something serious is going on, do not tell me about it. Get home safe."
You're not entirely sure if you deserve a sister like Yuna, who'd go against her own morals just to cover for you, but you're grateful you have her.
you [11:54 pm] : *you liked a voice memo*
you [11:54 pm] : thanks so much
you [11:55 pm] : i promise i wont involve u anymore. if minnie calls again u can just ignore it and lmk please
yuna [11:56 pm] : oh and she told me to let you know that she's safe. tho im sure that's not your biggest concern :/
Harsh but true.
You set your phone on your lap and tear open your pack of donuts, wiping away the powdered sugar that falls onto your blouse. Much like the blue raspberry slurpee, mini powdered donuts weren't exactly your go-to snack, but your options were limited, and you weren't in the mood to roam around the store any longer.
Suddenly, Sunghoon groans from the backseat and sits up, "Phone died."
Leaning over the center console, he plugs his phone into the car charger right underneath his navigation system, resting it on the dashboard before returning to his seat.Â
The car falls silent, and as much as you want to start a conversation, you're not sure where to begin. There's so much you want to ask, but you refrain, biting down on your tongue so hard you're surprised the taste of blood doesn't fill your mouth.
Sunghoon leans forward again, this time resting his cheek on the side of your seat, "What'd you get?" he asks, staring down at your lap.
You turn your head to look at him, holding up the half-eaten pack of donuts for him to see.
"Can I have one?" he asks, already holding his hand out before you could even say yes.
You hand him one regardless, watching the powder fall from the pastry as he pops it into his mouth.
Your curiosity gets the best of you, and you find yourself narrowing your eyes at him as you ask, "Sunghoon, can I ask you something?"
He nods, gesturing towards the remaining donuts in a way that tells you he wants more. You hand him the remaining three, nodding back when he mumbles "Thanks" under his breath.
"How did you know that I'm allergic to peanuts?"
Sunghoon pauses, brows furrowing in utter confusion as he looks up at you, "What do you mean?"
"Earlier in the store, I was looking at the peanut candy, and you told me not to bother. I'm assuming you must've known I'm allergic, right?" You ask, fully turning around in your seat to face him.
"UmâŚyeah. I know."
"OkayâŚhow?"
"I mean, was it supposed to be a secret or something?"
"What? No, of course not. Allergies are probably the one thing that shouldn't be kept secret," you respond, "I'm just curious about how you know. I don't think I've ever told you, and I can't imagine Minjeong randomly deciding to tell you."
Sunghoon awkwardly scratches the back of his neck as he avoids looking at you. It takes the tips of his ears turning pink for you to realize that he's embarrassed, which only confuses you even further.
Sunghoon shrugs, staring down at the snack you've just given him, "Whenever all of us would hang out, and there was, like, food involved, I just noticed you'd pay so much attention to the ingredients of whatever it was you were eating. At first, I thought it was a calorie thing, but you never really asked about the calories, only the ingredients."
"But, how'd you know it was peanuts specifically?" you ask, feeling embarrassed about how curious you were over something as silly as a peanut allergy.
"Remember the hockey team bake sale? The one I made those terrible brownies for?" He asks, continuing when you nod, "You were there, and I remember how excited you were to try the cookies that Jake made, but right before you bought one, you asked him if there were peanuts in them. That's when I knew."
You can't remember the last time someone had paid this much attention to you, and it's dangerous, considering how easily impressed you are by the smallest things. Sunghoon was by no means a friend of yours; you hardly knew anything about each other and often kept your interactions rather short, so his being able to pick up on your peanut allergy just by watching you was ⌠different. Maybe even nice.
You don't even realize you've been staring at him until he stops chewing and stares back, unblinking.
You look away, retrieving your Slurpee from the cup holder and taking a long sip as Sunghoon watches.
"Can I ask you something now?" he asks.
You don't respond, side-eyeing him as you continue to sip your drink.
Sunghoon smirks, amused by your sudden silence, "Why'd you meet me in the bathroom?"
You pull the straw away from your lips, voice barely above a whisper as you respond, "To see what you wanted."
He nods, taking the cup from your hands, "You knew what I wanted," he says, pausing to take a sip of your drink, "and you still came; why?"
When you don't respond, Sunghoon lets out a loud sigh and sets your cup back down in its holder, "It's okay, YN."
"It isn't."
"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I guess we'll never know, huh?"
This is a test of your morals, and Sunghoon knows this. Every decision you've made tonight has led you to this exact moment. There's still enough time to redeem yourself and make an excuse for your actions. You could easily lie and say that making out with Sunghoon was just a result of being tipsy and vulnerable. But now, with the two of you in his car, sobering up and coming back down to your senses, you won't be able to use those same excuses.
Realistically speaking, what are the chances of your ex's finding out? Heeseung probably wouldn't care, but Minjeong was an entirely different story.
In your defense, they've been officially broken up for three weeks and three days, so you wouldn't technically be hooking up with her boyfriend. Right?
Sunghoon must've sensed the gears turning in your head because, after a few seconds of staring at each other in silence, he leaned over the center console and pressed his lips against yours.
The kiss is softer this time, nothing like how it was in the bathroom as if he's trying to coax you in and convince you it's okay, that you're doing nothing wrong.
You find yourself slipping under his spell, eyes finally fluttering shut as he gently swipes his tongue across your bottom lip. The faint taste of alcohol is still on his tongue, but he does taste much sweeter now, like the blue raspberry slurpee he'd just had. A part of you wonders if he'd done that on purpose as if tasting better would make you enjoy kissing him like this.
He pulls away, scooting farther back into his seat, "C'mere, climb over."
You do as you're told, slipping off your shoes with Sunghoon guiding you right onto his lap as you climb into the backseat. You can't help but squirm on his lap, and he can still sense a slight hesitancy in your actions, the way you shiver when he touches you, how you initially pulled back when he tried to kiss you again.
"You're nervous," he comments, eye flickering across your face.
You shrug, holding onto his shoulders for support, "I can't help it."
Beneath you, Sunghoon reaches down to unclip the handcuffs from his belt loop, "You're making it hard to focus."
"The fuck am I supposed to do, then?!" You didn't mean to shout, but your patience was starting to run thin. You felt guilty enough as it is, and Sunghoon reminding you of how nervous you are certainly didn't make it any better.
Sunghoon rolls his eyes, undoing the handcuffs before grabbing your left hand. He tightens the cuff around your wrist, "Just trust me," he says simply. He sits up further in his seat, grabbing your cuffed wrist as he pulls down on the car's grab handle. He slips the empty cuff through the slot before gesturing for you to give him your free hand.
Fuck.
"SunghoonâŚ"
"Just trust me," he doesn't wait for a response, grabbing your wrist and bringing it up towards the empty cuff. It locks around your wrist with a click, causing him to smile in satisfaction.Â
You're sure that with just the right amount of force, you could easily snap the handcuffs in half, but it's the thought that counts. With your arms and hands restricted towards the ceiling, all you can do is stare down at Sunghooon and await his next movement, his very calculated movement.
He presses his cold lips against your neck, simultaneously using his hands to slowly unbutton your blouse. The mark he'd left on your neck earlier was as prominent as ever, and it pleased him to know you were okay with him marking you up like this. He swipes his tongue against the sensitive spot, hardening in his pants when you squirm on top of him.Â
His nails trace along the bare skin of your waist once he's finished unbuttoning your blouse, your bralette â that was a few sizes too small â fully on display for him. He's practically salivating at the site, his tongue sliding across his canines, completely in awe of your breasts spilling out of the flimsy, white material.
Sunghoon can't unclasp and slide off your bra, or else it'd be awkwardly hanging in the air, and trying to slip it through the handcuffs would take too much effort. Instead, he apologizes under his breath before his hands reach the front of your bra.
"Wait, Sunghoonâ!"
Without warning, he stretches the fabric until it finally rips, seemingly pleased with himself if the cocky smirk is anything to go by. "Relax," he says, "I'll buy you a new one."
You don't have time to scold him because before you can even process what's happening, Sunghoon's tongue is swirling around your nipple. You swear at the sudden contact, arching your back and pressing your chest further into his face. It's almost embarrassing how such a simple act already had your head spinning.
His hands trail downward until they reach the hem of your skirt, slowly pushing it upwards until it's bunched around your waist. He traces the tip of his finger across your clothes cunt, pleased with how wet you've already gotten without having done much.
Your hips buck up into his hands on instinct, desperate for the friction, borderline craving it.
Sunghoon releases your perked bud in his mouth, looking up at you as he asks, "You want me to stop?"
"No, please don't." You beg.
"So this is okay then, right?"
If your wrists weren't handcuffed to the grab handle, you're sure you would've reached down and choked him for all the teasing. "Yes, Sunghoon, it's okay! Just hurry up and do something!"
Sunghoon shakes his head at you, mumbling, "So impatient." as he moves to lie flat on his back.
You stare down at him, confused, when he doesn't immediately start undoing his pants but instead positions his head right between your thighs.
It's funny, Minjeong claimed Sunghoon wasn't really into giving head and only gave it to her a handful of times during the course of their relationship, claiming he preferred to save it for special occasions.
But yet, here he is, willingly pushing your thighs further apart before pressing his lips against your clothed cunt.
The action sends shivers down your spine, and the handcuffs around your wrist suddenly feel tighter. He presses his tongue flat against you, groaning at the taste of your slick that's soaked through your panties. You grind down on him instinctively, your body trembling with anticipation as you squeeze your eyes shut.
"Fuck." You whisper, tugging at the handcuffs in frustration.
The sound of the metal clinking makes Sunghoon chuckle, pressing a final kiss against your damped underwear before mumbling, "Cute."
He makes quick work of sliding your underwear off your legs, tossing them to theÂ
front seat with a grunt as you wait for him to continue. Sunghoon settles himself between your thighs again, groaning in annoyance as you hover over him. "Stop fucking hovering," he demands, attempting to pull you down directly onto his face, "it's fine."
It's too intimate; you've never even sat on Heeseung's face before, and you're sure this isn't something he's done with Minjeong.
"But, I don't wanna cru- fuck!"
Sunghoon dismisses your worries, forcing you down onto his face and instantly wrapping his lips around your clit. You barely have any time to process that this is completely new territory for you, being this intimate with a man, sitting right on his face while he drags his tongue along your cunt; gathering your wetness and dragging it up towards your clit before wrapping his lips around it once more.
You let out an embarrassingly loud moan at that, leaning your head against the cold window as your face heats up. This only encourages Sunghoon even further, and his confidence grows, feeling bold enough to tease the tip of his tongue into your hole.
You jolt up at this, biting back a moan and wishing you could reach down and grab a fistful of his hair and properly ride his face. He licks another stripe up your folds, gripping your thighs and holding your body in place when you try to squirm away.Â
"Stop trying to run from me," he groans into your pussy, the vibrations from his voice sending a shiver across your body.Â
He presses his face further into your cunt, moaning at how much wetter you've gotten since he's started. For a man who apparently wasn't one to eat a girl out, he sure did seem desperate and eager to have you come on his face. In fact, it almost seemed as if he was doing it for his own pleasure rather than yours, which only turns you on even more.
After a few more slides of his tongue, you finally feel your orgasm approaching, your thighs tensing around Sunghoon's head.
"I know you're close," he whispers, placing sloppy, open-mouthed kisses on your inner thighs, "go ahead, use me. I know you want to."
He's practically begging at this point, big, wet eyes staring up at you in pure adoration as he sucks your clit back into his mouth. That's your breaking point, the knot in your stomach finally untying itself as your orgasm washes over you.
You let out a moan so loud that your throat hurts shortly afterward, your wrists going limp in the handcuffs as you ride out your high.
Sunghoon doesn't let up until you're practically shaking from overstimulation, your body naturally twitching and squirming away from his greedy mouth as he cleans you up. He pulls away finally, his mouth and chin completely coated with your slick as he leaves a trail of kisses on your bare thighs.
You can't help but stare down at him in awe; he looks completely dazed as if he's running off, nothing but pure desperation and lust for you. You.
"Sunghoon," you say, trying to get his attention, "IâŚdo you keep condoms in here?"
He flutters his eyes open, shaking his head, "No, but 7/11's just down the street. I can go-"
You interrupt him with a shake of your head, "I don't wanna wait; we don't need one."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm on the pill. Just, please, fuck me already."
It's music to his ears, really.
Sunghoon slides himself back up the seat, reaching up to release you from the handcuffs. You groan at this, having gotten used to them and quite frankly enjoyed the temporary feeling of restriction.
"You liked the cuffs?" Sunghoon questions, dropping your wrists from the grab bar.
"Yeah," you admit, "I liked it more than I thought I would."
He nods at this, and you realize now that one of the cuffs is still clasped around your wrist. Sunghoon also notices this and smirks as an idea forms in his head. "Turn around."
You comply with no further questions, groaning when he suddenly pushes your body down into the seat. He brings your arms behind your back, handcuffing you once more as he lets out a sigh of pleasure. "I knew you'd like it."
Sunghoon pushes your skirt back up, straddling himself around your things after pulling his pants and boxers far enough to allow his cock to spring free. He steadies himself with a hand on your shoulder, using the other to teasingly drag his fully-hardened cock across your slick folds.
Sunghoon shivers at this, cursing at the sight as he repeats his movements. He knows he won't last much longer; he was practically seconds away from coming in his boxers just from eating you out, so he really should quit with the teasing for his own sake.
Minjeong had never allowed him to fuck her without a condom, so this type of intimacy was new and overwhelmingly good.
He finally pushes himself into you, his tip alone causing you to bite down on the leather of his seat. You already felt so full, and he wasn't even halfway inside yet.
"Ah fuck," he groans, "you're so tight, you're soâŚfuck." He can barely even form a sentence, biting down on his bottom lip as he further inches himself inside of you.
You're not doing any better, feeling as if you're already seconds away from your second orgasm when he's hardly even done anything. It takes a minute before he's fully inside of you, pausing before he leans down and asks, "Can I move?"
"Please, I need you to."
Sunghoon nods at this, pressing a kiss against your ear before sitting himself back up. He angles your hips off the seat but presses your chest further into it, giving you (and himself) the perfect arch to comfortably slide in and out.
The first few thrusts are slow, as expected, but just enough to get you used to his size. Even this was all too much for Sunghoon; he was already dangerously close to his orgasm.
He didn't intend on speeding up his thrusts already, but he really can't help it. Everything about this feels too good. The way your walls perfectly wrap around him, and the way you're moaning and cursing for him to keep going are overwhelmingly good.
"Fuck." He moans, squeezing his eyes shut as he presses you down further into the backseat. He pulls his cock all the way out before pushing himself back in, which you seem to enjoy. He does it a few more times, mostly to humor himself since it's something he assumed you would've been annoyed by.
"Sunghoon," you pant, "I'm close."
"Already?" He asks, pushing your hips downwards until you're lying flat on your stomach.
He tries to come off as cocky and frustrated, but he really is grateful you're already so close to your orgasm, seeing that he felt like he could burst at any given second.
You nod, "Please, keep going."
He doesn't respond, opting to remain silent as you pull his cock out of you before ramming it back in at a pace much harder and faster than before. His thrusts are sloppy and borderline desperate, the sound of skin slapping and grunts filling the air shortly afterward.
The two of you could hardly keep your eyes open, too lost in the pleasure of your approaching orgasms.
Your's hits first, and Sunghoon's follows shortly after, practically filling you up to the brim with his cum. You've never felt so full and warm, heat spreading through your entire body as you slowly calm down and regulate hour breathing.
Sunghoon doesn't feel like moving, but he does anyway, slipping himself out of you with a wince, watching his cum drip out of you and onto the seat of the car. He curses at the sight, stopping himself from leaning forward and eating it out of you.
He undoes both of the handcuffs this time, helping you sit up as you avoid eye contact with each other. "Hold on," he says, re-adjusting his pants and boxers, "I should have a towel or something in the trunk."
Sunghoon steps out of the car, returning a minute later with a towel in hand. He leans down, prepared to clean you up, until you stop him, "It's okay, I got it."
He shakes his head, "I can do it for you."
"It's fine," you say, buttoning up your shirt, "I'd prefer to do it myself, actually."
Sunghoon finally gives in, handing you the towel before leaning over the center console and retrieving your panties from the passenger seat. He waits patiently for you to finish up, instructing you to just drop the towel on the floor as he hands you your underwear.
"Hey, have youâŚdo you think you've sobered up yet?" He asks, watching as you slip your panties back on.
"Yeah, why?"
"Before I met you in the bathroom, I took a few bites of an edible, and I think it's starting to kick in. I think you should drive."
You sigh, mostly because this was not at all what you'd been hoping he'd say. "Drive where? To your place? Then where would I go?"
"I can pay for your Uber home."
"Sunghoon, it's past midnight, and I'm a girl; taking an Uber this late is too dangerous."
"Then drive back to your place; I'll sleep in the car and drive off in the morning."
You groan, "No, Minjeong might visit me in the morning. What'll she think when she sees your car in my driveway?"
"Dammit, YN, then just spend the night at my place. You can take my bed, and I'll sleep on the couch; just please drive us somewhere, for fuck's sake."
Bickering with Sunghoon somehow doesn't annoy you; in fact, it feels almost domestic. Going back and forth like a real couple.
"Fine." You say, climbing into the driver's seat.
Sunghoon's phone falls off the dashboard in the process, now charged at twenty-eight percent, and apparently, a missed text from Minjeong that was sent a few minutes ago.
The jealousy that fills your chest is downright abnormal; Minjeong is your best friend; there's no real reason for you to feel jealous of her in the first place.Â
In fact, you shouldn't feel any sort of guilt at all; it's not like they're still together. They've been broken up for three weeks and three days.Â
Three weeks. And Three days.

Dancing Through Life
Fiyero Tigelaar x Reader
Summary: Y/n Upperland of the Upper Uplands, cousin to Galinda Upand, doesnât have a problem with Fiyero Tigelaar, but that doesntât mean that she wants him around. However, after one simple walk with the Winkie Prince, Y/n discovers that heâs not so bad after all.
A/n: hi hi! Iâm back with a Fiyero one shot, but that doesnât mean that Iâve forgotten about the second Bridgerton and I. Iâve written two chapters so far over thanksgiving break and I might try to squeeze in one more chapter or at least half of one before I go back to school. I donât really have enough time to write when I am at school, so the next time Iâll probably get back to writing during Christmas break which is in a couple weeks. Then Iâll finish the Bridgerton and I and Iâm thinking about waiting to finish the Bridgerton and I completely before posting any more chapters, so the ff will probably be finished in December. I wrote this one shot because Wicked has been on my mind 24/7 and I can write whatever comes to mind, but for the Bridgerton and I have to sit down and rewatch Bridgerton episodes so that I can make sure I get all the words exactly right. I hope you guys continue to be patient as I try to finish it :).
I have recently seen the movie Wicked and plan to see 10 million more times because it is SO GOOD. Wicked is basically my whole personality at this point. I was already obsessed with Fiyero, but Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero made my obsession worse (but in a good way :)). And with this obsession comes a Jonathan Bailey Fiyero Tigelaar one shot. I hope you enjoy!! I also have a plan to write another one so stay tuned for that!
It was a beautiful day today, so after class I decided to read at my favorite spot: the bench under the oak tree. I loved it here because it was a peaceful place where I never got disturbed. Or so I thought.
I realized he was near when I heard the sound of boots stepping onto grass. It was only when his shadow blocked the words on the page that I finally looked up.
Fiyero looked down on me with curious eyes, but there was still a charming smile plastered on his face. I tried to hide how his smile affected me, but he must have noticed the change in my demeanor because his smile turned into a smirk.
I thought after my cousin Galinda introduced him to my brother and I earlier today would be the last time I saw him for the day. It appears the Winkie prince had other plans.
âWell what is Miss Upland doing under the oak tree?â He asked.
âReading.â I held up my book for effect before I continued back to where I left off.
I saw him take a seat beside me on the bench in the corner of my eye.
âItâs Friday.â He continued.
I rolled my eyes. âI know. I can read calendars.â Fiyero chuckled at my blunt and snippy responses. He could clearly tell that I was annoyed by his presence, but he continued to talk anyway.
âItâs Friday and you are here reading under an oak tree. You should be out there having fun.â He used his hands to gesture to all the other students hanging out at the courtyard.
âThis is fun to me.â
âSchool work is fun?â
âWell for your information this book is not for school itâs for me.â
âWell I believe you are filling your head with too many things. Youâre thinking too much.â
I rolled my eyes.
âWell thatâs not surprising coming from a prince like you.â
âA prince like me?â Fiyero gave a feigned pained expression. âIâm hurt that you would think that way about me.â
âWell I believe that you present yourself as self-absorbed and deeply shallow, but I donât think you are. I think you use that as a front to hide the fact that you actually care and have thoughts.â
âExcuse me thereâs no pretense here. I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow.â
âOkay.â I said not believing him. I shut my book and stood from the bench. I finished the book I was reading and decided to go search for another one to read.
âWell I guess it was nice talking to you.â
I began to walk back to my room, but he blocked my path.
âWhere are you going?â
âBack to my room to find another book.â
âOh come on. Drop the book for once and have some fun.â
âNo.â
I pushed past him and walked away without looking back. I was hoping he would leave me alone after that, but luck was not on my side today.
âSince youâre going back to your room, maybe I can save you the trouble of carrying your book all the way back.â
He grabbed the book from my hand before I could say anything.
âHey give that back!â
I tried to grab the book back, but he raised the book above my head, so that I couldnât reach and jumping up was no use. Fiyero was laughing at me struggling, so I sighed in defeat.
âFine. You can help me carry my singular book up to my room.â
Fiyero was happy with my response because he was smiling from ear to ear. We were now standing nose to nose and I could feel his breath fan across my face. If I looked down I would have perfect access to his lips. Wait what was I thinking? I quickly backed away from him before I did anything stupid. Fiyero smiled down at me and said, âSee now that wasnât so hard now was it? Lead the way princess.â
I would he lying if I said I didnât get affected by his words. Butterflies filled my stomach and I probably would have melted if I didnât catch myself. What is wrong with me?
âPrincess?â
âYes princess. It suits you. Princess of the Upper Upperlands.â He said with a dramatic voice.
I was about to retaliate when a certain blondey came to mind.
âShouldnât you be calling Galinda princess?â I asked.
âWhy would I do that?â
âBecause you two are a thing.â
Fiyero chuckled. âI just met her this morning and besides Iâm like this with everyone.â
My heart sunk at his words. So he was just treating me like everyone else? But why was I so upset about it? Just a few hours ago I wanted nothing to do with him and now I was disappointed that heâs not treating me differently.
âAnd if I called her princess then I wouldnât be able to call you princess. Princess.â He said with a wink.
That definitely lifted my spirits. Sweet Oz! He was making feel a roller coaster of emotions. I could tell there will never be a dull moment with him.
I gave him a small smile but I looked down on the floor to hide it from him. I didnât want him to notice that I started to warm up to him, but he saw the slight upturn of my lips.
âWell who knew that Miss Upland could smile. Itâs a miracle!â
âOh shut up!â I said, but you could hear the grin in my voice.
âBesides reading, what do you really do for fun?â I looked up at Fiyero and could tell that he truly wanted to know my genuine answer. So it seems that my premonition about him not being self-absorbed and deeply shallow was true.
âUmmâŚspending time with friends, swimming. Oh thereâs a lake in the Upper Upperlands that my family and I go to every summer to cool off and it has such beautiful scenery. Not to mention the nearby ice cream shopâŚâ
I stopped after I realized that I blabbered on. âIâm sorry I sort of got carried away.â
I looked up at Fiyero, but he didnât seem bothered at all with my tangent. He actually seemed rather interested with what I had to say.
âNo continue.â He said with an encouraging smile.
âNo Iâd rather not.â
I know he wanted to hear more, but he didnât push me, which I was glad for. I was a little embarrassed with my little outburst.
âWell how about you discover a new way to have fun?â Fiyero said changing the subject.
âHow?â
âCome with me to the Ozdust Ballroom tonight. The most swankified place in town.â
âArenât we not supposed to be off campus after dark?â
âYes, but not being allowed to leave after dark makes it more fun!â
âIâll pass.â
âWhereâs your sense of adventure?â
âI left her at home.â
Fiyero paused before he burst into laughter.
âMy joke wasnât that funny.â But I couldnât help but laugh along with Fiyero.
Fiyero paused again.âYour laugh.â
I took a few moments to recompose myself before asking, âWhat about my laugh?â
âItâs beautiful.â
I stopped walking and choked on air.
âWhat?â I asked, but Fiyero ignored me.
âWhich way is your room?â
I realized that we have reached the dead end which separated into two hallways.
âThis way.â I said as I begin to walk to the right. I walked a little faster to make this walk shorter. I have embarrassed myself way too many times in a such a short amount of time and I just wanted to smash my pillow in my face and scream. The rest of the way was silent until we reached my door.
âWell here we are. My humble abode.â I said. âThank you for the uhâŚwalk.â
âIt was my pleasure. I hope to see you tonight at the Ozdust ballroom Miss Upland.
âY/n.â
Fiyero smiled at my response.
âY/n. I hope to see you tonight.â
I opened the door and was about to walk in, but I turned around instead.
âI know you like to put on the facade that you are this Winkie prince who doesnât have a care in the world, but youâre also human. Yes you might be self-absorbed and shallow, but thatâs not all of you and you have thoughts that should be shared. If you take away your crowd of admirers youâll be left with the real you. If you want to continue with this role in front of everyone then thatâs fineâŚ,but you donât have to be that way with me.â
Fiyeroâs expression was unreadable, but I could have sworn I saw flickers of fear and appreciation.
âY/nâŚI donât know what to say.â
His hands fell to his sides and I realized that he still had my book. I slowly inched towards his hand and pulled the book from his grasp. But before I pulled away I took his hand in mine and gave it a gentle squeeze.
âYou donât have to say anything.â I said with a smile.
He nodded and with one last squeeze I pulled away and slowly closed the door shut.
âââââââââ
I laid in my bed, for what seemed like hours, contemplating whether I should go to the Ozdust ballroom or not. I turned to my night stand to see that itâs only been a half hour. I groaned in frustration and covered my face with my pillow. Then I heard a knock at the door. I rose from my bed and opened it to see my brother Ezra.
âYou. Me. Ozdust. Tonight.â He said as he entered my room.
âYou know about that too?â I said as I shut the door.
âHow do you know about it?â He asked curiously.
âI was invited.â I said as I plopped onto my bed. Ezra raised an eyebrow at my words and joined me.
âYou were invited?! I wasnât even invited! Who invited you?â
âSo how do you know about it?â I asked avoiding what he asked me.
âI overheard some students talking about it, but donât avoid the question. Who invited you?â
âFiyero.â
Ezraâs eyebrows shot up to the ceiling.
âFiyero Tigelaar of Winkie country? But you hate him.â
âI donât hate him! Where did you get that impression.â
âWhen Galinda introduced us to him you didnât seem to be too pleased with him.â
I thought back to the first impression I had of Fiyero when I first met him.
When he first stood in front of me I took a good look at him and he was exactly what I expected from a Winkie prince. He was dressed to the nines from head to toe. You could tell his blue jacket and pants were made to perfection and the gold accents were sewn with precision. His black polished boots were so shiny that you could even see your own reflection in them. And that was just his clothes.
Fiyero had an aura about him. It was as if he believed he always had to be the center of attention. Reminds me of someone that I know, but I know that Galinda has a heart. It was too soon to tell if he genuinely cares, but by the way he acted and the way the students nearby looked at him, I could already tell that his way of life to everyone else was fake.
Then he approached me later on in the day and I got to know him a little more. I soon realized that he wasnât all so bad by himself. It was only when he was around everyone else where his walls come up and he acts out his facade.
âI guess I had a change of heart.â I finally answered.
âUh huh. And how did Fiyero even get the chance to talk to you. The only way that can happen is if you two hung out alone.â Ezra said teasingly as he wiggled his eyebrows. I laughed at his antics.
âFiyero might have interrupted my peaceful reading time earlier today and I got to know him a little more.â
âOh?!â
âAnd before you say anything else there was nothing else to it. He offered to walk me back to my room and thatâs when he invited me to the Ozdust ballroom. On our walk back I got to know him a little better and heâs not so bad by himself.â
âHmm hmm.â
âNothing else happened!â
âHey I said nothing!â Ezra said as he lifted his hands to the sides of his face in defense. âBut this means that youâre coming!â
âI didnât say yes.â
âWhy-â
âBut I didnât say no either. Iâm still thinking about my answer.â
Ezra looped his arm with mine.
âNow Iâm forcing you to come because Iâm coming and Iâm not going to have you sit pathetically in your room.â
âIâm not going toââ
âAh uh. I wonât take no for an answer. And donât say you donât have anything to wear. Your wardrobe is almost as grand and big as Galindaâs.â
Ezra did have a point. I worried about my appearance and wardrobe just as much as Galinda, but I didnât flaunt it as much as my cousin did.
âCome on.â Ezra grabbed my hands and pulled me up from my bed. He led me to one of my luggageâs that turned into a closet with the push of a button. Ezra pushed the button and pushed me towards my array of dresses.
âWell go on.â He prompted.
I stumbled upon the rack and begin to flip through my choices until I came across a dress that brought a smile to my face.
âââââââââ
Ezra and I missed the boat that Galinda and Fiyero went on, so we arrived at the Ozdust ballroom a little later. I peeked over the corner and was in awe with what I saw.
The entrance of the ballroom had a ginormous staircase which led to the dance floor. At the end of the room was where a band of animals were playing the music. On the ceiling schools of fish were dancing in formation to the beat of the music. Thatâs when I realized that this ballroom was underwater. That was something Iâve never seen before.
Ezra and I began to walk down the staircase and I began to notice a lot of familiar faces from school.
âDo people come here often?â I asked Ezra. He first attended Shiz last year, so he had a whole year of experience before I came along.
âI would say so. Itâs where most people go over the weekend, but this is the first time Iâve ever gone.â
I looked at him shocked. âReally?!â
âYeah. Iâve never been invited and Iâve always wanted to go, but I never knew how to get here until I overheard those two girls talking today.â
âWell todayâs your lucky day!â I said with a smile.
âIndeed it is.â He said with a chuckle. âOh I see some of my friends I invited over there. Will you be okay on your own?â
âYeah I will. Galinda should be around here somehere.â
âAnd Fiyero.â Ezra said with a glint of mischievousness.
âYeah him too.â
Ezra laughed before he walked over to his two friends. Now I was left alone to fend for myself. I noticed a drink table on the side of the dance floor, so I made my way over there.
I had no idea what was in the glass, but it tasted quite good. I sipped quietly off to the side when I noticed a familiar figure approach me.
âWell if it isnât Miss Upland.â
âPlease donât call me that.â
âAlright then. Princess.â
âY/n.â I corrected him
âPrincess Y/n.â
I figured it would be pointless so I gave up trying to correct him.
âI was almost starting to think you werenât going to show up. What made you change your mind? Me?â
âDonât be so full of yourself Fiyero. My brother forced me to come.â
âAww so I canât go around telling people that youâre my date tonight?â
I nearly choked on my drink, but I managed to regain my composure.
âNot a chance.â
âWhat a shame and to think I was going to ask you to dance.â
âI didnât say no to that.â I said with a teasing smile. Fiyero looked shocked and glad that I was finally playing his game.
âSince you say so, Iâll just take this.â
Fiyero grabbed the drink from my hand and downed the rest of it before setting it on the table.
âShall we?â He extended out his hand for me to take. I didnât say anything, but I accepted his hand and he led me to the dance floor.
He began to twirl and whirl me around to the beat of the music and I found a couple laughs slip from my mouth. I havenât had this much fun in a long time and I couldnât believe that Fiyero of all people was making that happen.
One by one Galinda, Ezra, and his friends joined us as well. It was great to not care about the trivial things in life and simply dance through life as Fiyero likes to put it.
At one point the band slowed down the tempo of the music to a slower one and Fiyero gave me a knowing look. I looked back at Ezra and he winked at me before walking off the dance floor with his friends. I turned back to Fiyero and grabbed his hand. He gave me a beaming smiling, put his hands on my hips and began to move me across the ballroom floor.
âYou know Iâve been thinking about what you said earlier today.â He said.
âAbout?â But I had an inkling about what he was talking about.
âAbout me pretending in front of everyone else.â I simply nodded and waited for him to continue.
âI guess I started doing it in order to hide my true depth of character. It was a way for me navigate the superficial social circles and get the chance to meet powerful people. Iâve done it for so long that I forgot what itâs like to just be me, but you were the first person to ever see through that.â
I took a moment to take in his words. It must have been exhausting to keep up that facade for so long. I felt bad for Fiyero. The fact that he felt the need to live like that.
âWell like I said you donât have to pretend with me. I want to know the real Fiyero Tigelaar. Do you think you can manage to do that?â
âI can for you.â
Under normal circumstances I would have collapsed right then and there there, but that would do either of us no good. Fiyero had just finished telling me something heâs never spoken out loud before and I have to be the support he needs.
He twirled me around once more before pulling me right back into his arms. Then he brought his mouth up to my ear and whispered changing the subject.
âYou look beautiful princess. I couldnât take my eyes off of you tonight. I must say that blue is definitely your color. You are hands down the most beautiful one here.â
âI donât think so.â I said as I looked down at the floor bashfully.
Fiyero grabbed my chin with his finger and brought my face up to look up at him.
âI beg to differ.â He grabbed a strand of my hair and pulled it back behind my ear. I felt his breath against my ear and shivers traveled down my spine. No boy has ever gave me as much attention as Fiyero has and I was at a loss with what to do. But in a strange way I knew exactly what to do, which is why I was bold enough to try something.
âCan I tell you a secret?â I whispered in his ear.
Fiyero looked confused, but he nodded anyway. I stood up on my tiptoes and went up to his ear, but at the very last second I grabbed his face and connected his lips with mine.
At first he didnât responded, and I got so scared I got the message wrong, so I almost pulled away. However, he soon reciprocated the kiss and placed one hand firmly on my waist and the other framing my face. The kiss started simple, but then it became more intense. I would have kept on going, but then I remembered where we were.
I pulled away and looked around to see my brother looking at me with a knowing look as if he was saying I told you so. He mouthed, âAnd you said there was nothing else to it.â
âShut up.â I mouthed back.
âDo you want to take this somewhere else? Away from the public eye.â Fiyero asked.
I looked up at his blue eyes and thought about being alone with Fiyero. Being able to hold him and kiss him to my hearts desire. I nodded with a smile.
Fiyero smiled back and interlocked our hands. Together the both of us walked out of the Ozdust ballroom without a care in the world and we simply danced through life.

This Week in BL - So Many GREAT Kisses!
Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.
(Please notice I am now using 6 dots in all ellipses because according to Taiwanese BL that's how we queers roll. Who am I to argue?)
Sept 2024 Week 3
Ongoing Series - Thai
Jack & Joker (Thai Mon IQIYI) ep 2 of 12 - A most excellent glow up. And itâs still a great show. And I cannot wait to see the many different faces of War. Bring on the Leverage of One action-packed mess. I'm waiting. Â
Monster Next Door (Thai Thurs Gaga ) ep 9 of 12 - Iâm gonna say this because it drives me crazy. Why are boys in BL, when out and about the countryside, always dressed inappropriately for Thailand? If itâs hot, takeoff your damn jacket. I donât mean to be crass or crazy or whatever. But donât wear a jacket when itâs 90° with 90% humidity. In Thailand, jackets are for malls. Meanwhile, Iâm an extrovert and that still seemed like an exhausting trip. Although, I suppose they didnât show all the drive time in the van, when everyone is asleep.
Meanwhile, why are the sides so frustrating in this show? Authentic friends-to-lovers is always a slog. Finally a kiss! And a decent one.
New character? Aw! Hi Yu!!!! Gosh Putter is so cute.
Where were we? Oh yes, Beer is now heartbroken. Always the great fear in F2L that the friendship will be destroyed as a result. And itâs a decent fear.Â
On a completely different note, I cannot help but wonder when somebodyâs chue len is Beer, if that is because beer was involved in their conception. Like, itâs the name you give your "oops baby" from that drunken night at the club. Donât mind me. Iâm just over here in the corner being crass.
Battle of the Writers (Sun YT) ep 8 of 12 - That was one of the cutest wake up sequences ever depicted. Utterly adorable. And now heâs blind again? Oh my God this is such a soap opera, I canât even. Meanwhile, wicked ice prince finally made his move. Gah! Why arenât we getting more of this couple? I always love the sides best with this production house.
I Saw You in My Dream (Weds Gaga) ep 10 of 12 - I love a hard fraught game of badminton. Even though we actually didnât see play. YoIng claiming was so cute!!! And their shower kiss was v hot. Yay little show! Also cute use of the punishment trope!
Kidnap (Fri YT) ep 3 of 12 - The weight upon the shoulders of our idiot good guy kidnapper continues to pile up. So does the affection. The dude playing Q has sanpaku eyes. Cool. Heâs not a particularly good actor though. Rough because everyone around him is giving their very best.
The problem is. I'm noticing. I shouldn't be noticing all the talent trying so hard. That usually means there is something wrong with the story, or there was something wrong on the set.
I don't know what to say at this juncture except I have the sinking suspicion this might not actually be a good show. (Covers head and cowers. Don't hate me.) I'd loved to be proved wrong, but my faith is GMMTV is only about 50% these days. And it probably should be lower.
Addicted Heroin (Thai Tues WeTV) ep 6 of 10 - I was so confused by how we suddenly got on a trip together, that I went back and re-watched the previous installment. And it still isnât explained. So I have no idea why our leads are on a trip but apparently thatâs the next trope to hit. I also have no idea how they're suddenly boyfriends. Iâm just generally confused by this episode. Itâs like an alt reality. We skipped over all of the stuff where they actually got into a relationship. In general I wasnât wild about this episode.
The Trainee (Sun YT) ep 12fin - The most realistic thing about this show is that everybody is everybody elseâs ex on any given set. I feel that in my bones. Or do I mean boner?
Frankly, both actors look better after a glow up and I guess pretending to be more their actual ages suits them? Considering what was actually done to invoke youth (a lot of the shine and gloss) aging them was an anti-glow up. A great mattification? Well...... this was a somewhat lackluster finale. (Thank you, thank you, the pun was unplanned. It's a gift.)
I donât know. I guess I wanted to see Jane suffer? Work HARD to get the kid he abandoned back? I wouldâve liked to have seen Ryan a little bit more competent and capable and his job. Maybe dating someone else. But I also do not want any more episodes. This was more than enough. So instead no separation, just boyfriends and a montage of their lives together, getting new and better jobs, moving in together, being supportive and sweet, etc... LOOK: Itâs never a good sign when I immediately want to rewrite the show that I just saw.
In conclusion:
A story about a group of interns at a commercial video production company. While I genuinely love OffGun, Iâm not convinced this was a good vehicle for them. Is it terrible for me to say, I miss their PickRome days? I donât think theyâve ever had rolls that suited them better. Still, theirs was the best storyline in this ensemble piece masquerading as a BL, although they still fumbled the ending. Thus, I enjoyed about a 1/3 of it as much as possible, and 2/3 of it less than conceivable. 7/10Â and I seriously considered dropping it to a 6/10 so don't push me.
Love Sick 2024 (Thai Sun iQIYI) ep 1 of 15 - Not gonna lie I was very skeptical. But I like it fine. Better than I expected because itâs been changed just enough. But it does need to stay changed. I donât know what Iâm trying to articulate here butâŚ... I guess weâll see.
Live in Love (Sun Gaga) ep 3 of 5 - Itâs cute in a weird disjointed way. Iâm enjoying it enough, I guess. I do like how forthright and direct Kla is.Â
Bad Guy My Boss (Thai Sun Gaga) ep 1 of 10 - Ah. Bully romance. My old frenemy. Of course making this office based means +10 for workplace harassment. Well well well. This will be red flag party town I see. How VERY old school yaoi. Itâs all very Cdrama CEO = dudes in suits walking on parquet (minus all the gay sex of course.) The jumping around between times and unfinished scenes is very strange. Is this Starhunter chaos only applied to a timeline?
Imma say this so they hear it at the back. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE HAIR. If you do time jumps: change. the. hair. It's the easiest and best clue if you aren't going to apply a filter or other cinematography tricks. JUST CHANGE THE DAMN HAIR STYLE.
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
The On1y One (Taiwan Thurs Gaga) eps 9-10 of 12 - And now we all start using six dots in ourâŚâŚ? A new coded way to indicate that one is into BL? I did think we were in a slight mire with ep 9, too much teacher filler. Not enough time spent with our boys. Meanwhile, sports day. Pouty Baby utilizing the power of Ge, in front of all of the classmates who do not realize how hard he is flirting and activating babygirl = one of the greatest things ever to happen on my screen. Essentially this was a version of the claiming trope, only nobody knew it but the two of them. Fucking genius. Yes, I watched it multiple times. Then babygirl is injured, the carrying and the flirting!!!! Gah!
I donât mean to trivialize the show, but this is me and I can trivialize everything even something as brilliant as this. But that conversation about history at the beginning of ep 10...... Was that about topping and bottoming? Because it sure seemed that way.
And then...... Possibly the best only one bed trope twist ever?
This show is so fucking amazing.
And I am so worried about the end.
Sugar Dog Life (Japan Sun grey) ep 7 of 10 - I love the kinkyness of our baby boyâs fantasy. Where he is the gift and his boyfriend is in uniform. Very nice. Thank you Japan. Never one to let kinky dogs lie. Also, the premise continues: one half thinks that they are already boyfriends and acts like it, and the other half is still trying to become a boyfriend. Itâs absurd in that way that only Japanese miscommunication extraordinaire can be absurd. Also could Kyosuke be any more under his boyâs thumb?Â
Love is Like a Poison AKA Doku Koi: Doku mo Sugireba Koi to Naru (Japan Tues Netflix?) 1-2 of 10 eps - Shiba is a top lawyer, angular aggressive bespectacled workaholic cat-type (Kitten? Babygirl? Tsundere? Some unholy combination of all 3?) I am reminded I should be more considerate of my potted plants. OMG the teasing and the little tongue sticking out. Haruto is such a flirt. I love this dynamic. What fun! Manic pixie dream boy but MAKE HIM EVIL! Or very high? Or a grifter? I have absolutely no idea whatâs going on. But Iâm enjoying it. Itâs very...... very
First Note Of Love (Taiwan Mon Gaga) ep 7 of 12 - Oh! Good kiss. Smart to have the younger character initiate. I also like that he put a stop to it and then went and had a long conversation with a friend about it. Cautious boy. Also shows how in control of the situation Sea is becoming. It works for this BL since he has the stronger personality. I don't care what the characters say, this is about Sea becoming a rock for Neil.
But the secondary couple is actually winning this show. I want so much more of them.Â
Seoul Blues (Korea Fri? YouTube) ep 8fin - Iâm not sure that blackmailing and entrapment, especially of your ex, necessarily justifies cheating. Plus I never like it when itâs gays against gays. But what did I expect from this show? This whole series was basically Koreaâs version of messy gay. If you liked Only Friends youâll probably enjoy this bullshit. And they were quite pretty. I, however, am monumentally displeased. 4/10 FATALLY FLAWED but still, basically, BL, howeverâŚ... do we want to support this kind of behavior?
KOREA PLEASE GIVE US A NEW PROPER BL!! WHERE ARE YOU? WE ARE SAD AND LOST WITHOUT YOU.
It's like now they discovered boys can kiss they can't be happy.
It's airing but...
The Hidden Moon (Sat WeTV) ep 1 of 10 - This is a supernatural romance (my ghost boyfriend trope) by Violet Rain (I Feel You Linger). A man is hired to write an article about an old mansion in Chiang Mai being converted into a cafĂŠ. He sees the ghosts of people who died at the mansion, falls in love with one of them. Was substantially recast. I loved IFYLITA except the ending so I think I'll let this one run it's course you can tell me if it's work tracking down... if they managed to land it. I have my doubts.
Happy of the End (Japan Tues Gaga) - A boy is disowned for being gay, dumped by his boyfriend, and ends up in a dysfunctional co-dependant relationship with his would-be kidnapper. We were due for another messy JBL and it's exactly as expected. I do not like it at all. And ya know what? There is plenty airing. DNFÂ
In case you missed it
I FINISHED Meet You at the Blossom (China). I ate crow, binged the fucker, and live blogged the experience. I enjoyed it a lot and got quite witty (I think) there are also puns (warning). But if you don't wanna slog though it, here are my final thoughts:
This was undeniably a wuxia and most definitely a BL. Evil stunning princely Cheekbones meets and falls in love with the bisexual disaster Dimples of his dreams. Thereâs a lot of floaty fighting, tangled plot, and overworked emotions. From start to finish it is exactly as it claims to be, including more than the expected amount of sexual claiming (dubious conscent to the point of rape). Iâm not wild about the wuxia genre, but I will tell you what I do like: Very pretty men in flowing robes + eye makeup + hair ribbons wafting about stabbing and kissing each other plus ridiculous soap opera machinations. I also like cheekbones and dimples. AND I love a stupid gay sleeve, okay? There was also truly epic levels of stink-eye, and that too is to be lauded. This show left me grinning like crazy. Was it great? Not really, but it was a great experience and I enjoyed it immensely. 8/10
4 Minutes (Gaga) Ended - Spies reported in to say the ending was not-exactly-unhappy and mostly lackluster. I'm torn over whether to watch. My natural disinclination to binge, meets my dissatisfaction with wishy-washy, is going up against my love of high heat and pretty men. Oh the age old struggle between art and lust.
Mitsuya-sensei no keimakutekina ezuke finished and itâs reported to be solid. Age gap treated with respect. I'm curious, so I'll check it out if I can get hold of non-G-drive subs.
Next Week Looks Like This:
Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.
Still Coming Sept 2024:
9/28 Teenager Judge (Vietnam Sat YouTube) ?? eps - oh I don't know just Ba Vinh doing his thing with pretty boys again.
THIS WEEKâS BEST MOMENTS
I love love love this execution of the punishment trope. What's Ai going to do to you, Yu? Ride you to death?
I Saw You in My Dream indeed.
Sigh. This show. (Addicted Heroin)
All praise one of BL's best-in-show glow-ups. Nicely done, Jack.
James, on the other hand. Never needs a glow-up. Still the prettiest. Has been since Oxygen. (Battle of the Writers)
He's playing the role of Saint in this show, thank you very much. Speaking of which, wouldnât that be just the most gorgeous pairing in the entire universe? Saint and James? Iâll be in my bunk.Â
Taiwan giving us a boop! Reminds me of Be Loved In House I Do, right up there with TharnType as chronic boopers.
Why is he SO GOOD in this show?
All Frist Note.
(Last week)
Streaming services are listed by how I (usually) watch, which is with a USA based IP, and often offset by a day because time zones are a pain.

Never do a shoey.
Daniel Riccardo x Podcast.host!reader
Summary- classic case of he fell first and also fell harder. So y/n is a popular podcast host known for interviewing/having really famous people on her podcast. She was reached out to by mclarens media team to have their two drivers on the podcast. The episode did really well and mclaren invited Y/n to join them that weekend for the Miami Grand Prix! Where she meets a fan of hers that she just so happens to be a fan of... what will happen? Will they get together for just the podcast? Or will there be more?
Warnings- suggestive implications, mention of 'love' marks/bites, alcohol
Stupid warnings- reader is in Florida (surprising i know), author is a dumbass and pretends she knows shit(she doesnt), American spelling, I never spell check, also has refs to some of my twt moots đŤś
F/c- various people on pintrest
A/n- So I had this idea for a minute but I didn't know who to do it with so I had my moots on Twitter help me (hi guys!!) So thank them for the DR3 fic!! (Also i got lazy with texts dont mind it) And as always: sorry if it's ooc and I hate everything I write lol
ââââââââââââââââââ
Y/n L/n a name that quickly rose to fame. She started to become famous on tiktok due to her 'face time' series. Talking about events in her life but acting as if the audience was a friend she was on face time with.
Y/n is known for her impressive conversation skills. She can hold and carry a conversation like it's breathing for her.
She had created a podcast as she rose to fame originally named 'facetime' which was scrapped after legal reasons. She changed the name to 'celeb seats' as she was able to secure an interview with YouTube and tiktok influencer 'Kallmekris'. She was able to continue this trend with having a celebrity on her podcast almost every episode-
ââââââââââââââââââ
You closed the tab. They had just posted an article about you! You're a new type of famous now, the article was just a get to know you article. It was pretty accurate actually. It talked a bit how you rose to fame, then it talked about how you claimed that fame with your podcast 'celeb seats'.
The podcast you hosted was normally just you and one other guest, only a few times it was just you. Your guests were all celebrities, some more famous than others, some more liked than others.
But there is one main reason on why people enjoy your podcast: you're still a person. You don't act like your famous (whatever that means) and you prioritize your guest comfort over content. The main example is when you had YouTuber Markiplier on and had cut a large portion of it out. Him later talking on it saying something along the lines of 'she told me that she's going to cut that convo out. Cause I mentioned that I was iffy on people seeing it. She didn't ask she just said she was going to when I said I was iffy on it'. Him being a largely trusted person boosted your character and your popularity which widened your audience.
You were able to interview people from almost everywalk of life. Politics, actors, youtubers, streamers, tiktokers, voice actors, and even singers!

User6 WHAT DANIEL HUH?

ââââââââââââââââââ
You see the verified name pop up in your notifications. Clicking on the profile, daniel ricciardo, the name seems familiar, you then read a little: formula one driver. Huh, it was currently Saturday night. There was a race tomorrow you decided to give it a watch setting an alarm to wake you up for the race, you put down your phone and eventually drift off to sleep.
ââââââââââââââââââ
Daniel arrived early the next day at the paddock signing a few things and walking in, with his classic smile on.
He stepped up in front of the camera as the truck drove around the track for the drivers parade.
"Hello Daniel Riccardo" the journalist greeted
"Hey" he smiled
"So today is a big race today" she said "your home race and all"
"Yeah, it's always exciting you know?" He chuckled waving to the crowd
"Of course" she smiled "well we actually only have a quick question for you today: I'm sure you've seen it but people are surprised you listen to the Celeb Seats Podcast. Care to add anything?"
"Oh yeah" he smiled "I've listen to that podcast I think since the first episode it's actually really entertaining. And I think Y/n is a great host and I'd love to be on it"
"Alright thank you Daniel" she said as he stepped off to the side. As Oscar was next to get interviewed
ââââââââââââââââââ
Your alarmed blaried in your ear. Turning it off you sat up and made your way to your living room and turned on the TV turning it to the EPSN channel. As you started making some coffee.
You sat on the couch as the race started sipping your coffee. You had to google some terms after they were said causing you to miss some overtakes. As the race wrapped up you turned off the TV and quickly went to YouTube and searched: formula 1 explained. Adding a few videos to a watch later playlist.
You quickly made yourself some breakfast before making your way to your office and settling down to start editing a video as well as finish the next episode of the podcast.
Deciding to take a break from editing you check your business email. Deleting the spam emails as well as the ones that were definitely scams. Before you glanced over a familiar orange logo you saw earlier that day. You clicked on the email:
Hello Y/n L/n
We hope this email finds you well. We have seen you podcast called "Celeb Seats" and we would love it if you were able to host our two drivers: Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. We know you're located out of Florida and we have a Grand Prix later this year (may 3-5) in Miami. We would love to be able to invite you actually!
Sincerely, the Mclaren media team.
ââââââââââââââââââ
You quickly typed out your own email that basically amounted to:
I would love too be able to host them! Thank you for the invite I accept!
After a few messages back and forth you were able to set a date to record with enough time so you could edit and post it before the grand prix.
ââââââââââââââââââ
You were adjusting the angle of one of the cameras as you heard a knock at the studio doors.
As you settled down after adjusting the mics in front of them.
"Okay," you said "Welcome to the Celeb Seats Podcast I'm your host Y/n. And today we are actually joined by two people" you motioned over to them "both formula one drivers for mclaren, Lando Norris" you motioned to him "and Oscar Piastri" you then motioned to him.
"Hey" Lando said
"Hello" Oscar smiled
"Okay so this is actually the first episode with two guests so let's see how it goes" you chuckled
ââââââââââââââââââ
After calming down from laughing "okay okay we" Lando motioned between him and Oscar "have a question for you"
"Shoot" you smiled
"Well you did mention earlier that you watch a little bit of formula one" he said as you nodded "well who is your favorite driver?"
"That's tough" you said "well hmm, I'd want to say Logan cause he's you know he's American" you chuckled "but I'd have to go with the other aussie, Daniel Riccardo. Sorry Oscar" you chuckled

Daniel was happy about another podcast episode dropping he put it on and started his work out. He was taking a break when he almost choked on his water. He was your favorite driver.
ââââââââââââââââââ
You were walking through the paddock making your way back to mclaren hospitality with Lando. You two walked side by side before Lando tapped your shoulder and said:
"Hey let me introduce you to some of the other drivers" Lando smiled innocently. There was nothing innocent about that smile.
"Hey Daniel" Lando waved to a man you recognized, Daniel Ricciardo, your favorite driver. Oh fuck you Lando you thought to yourself. Lando then motioned at you "This is Y/n L/n she's a guest for Mclaren this weekend" Daniel looks over at you, fuck he's kinda hot. "And y/n, this is Daniel-"
"-Riccardo yes I know Lando" you chuckled
"Wow I was just trying to be nice and introduce you two" he huffed, you just rolled your eyes and turned your attention to the tall Australian.
"Nice to meet you" you smiled "I don't know if you watch my podcast but I mentioned that you're my favorite driver"
He nodded quickly "yeah I'm actually a big fan of you podcast" he smiled "I've been watching it since episode 1"
"Wait that long?" You asked a bit shocked that he watches it
He smiled "yeah!" He said "I was actually listening to the most recent episode while working out and I almost choked on my water when you said I was your favorite" he said scratching the back of his head a little bit embarrassed
You laughed, he smiled.
ââââââââââââââââââ
Media day by passed way to fast. You wished you could spend more time with Daniel but he had practice the following days so sadly you couldn't.
Sunday
The race had began. Each lap passed the next one faster than the last. Next thing you knew you were celebrating with his team in the garage. Lando had just won the Miami grand prix, his first race win.

Lando had invited you out. In Miami. After his first win. You should have known how wasted youd get, too say the least. You and a small group of his friends went club hoping. The night was fuzzy, but everyone in that group drank their weight in alcohol and then some....
ââââââââââââââââââ
You woke up with a killer headache making you remember the highlights of last night: the dancing, the clubs, and the fucking alcohol.
The room was plastered in darkness which you thanked the blackout curtains you invested in. You went to get up but couldn't. You were held down by something around your waist. Or someone.
The arms that were wrapped around your waist were strong. You tried to escape them again, which just made them tight around you and the man next to you burry his face in your back.
You thanked God that you were clothed, thankfully in your own pants but the shirt was definitely not yours.
The man let out a groan as he moved, you froze before closing your eyes and pretending to sleep. The grip around your waist loosened as you feel the man move slightly. Based on the movement he was on his back. He began to move again sitting up, you felt his body heat leave which left you a little colder.
You moved slightly as being frozen there was a bit uncomfortable. This movement in turn caused him to freeze:
"Did I wake you?" A familiar voice asked you. No fucking way.
"No" you said softly as you shook your head sitting up.
As your eyes adjusted to the darkness and you looked the man in the eyes your suspicions were confirmed: Daniel fucking Riccardo.
"Well good morning I guess" you said, if there was even a little bit of light in the room it would show you being beet red.
"Mornin' " he muttered in response "well uh" he said "fuck, what do we do know?" He asked
Which just caused you to start laughing
"What? What did I say?"
"No, nothing" you said "just funny"
ââââââââââââââââââ
You stood in your bathroom as you looked in the mirror. Daniel offered you to shower and get new clothes on first (mostly so he could get that shirt back). As you stare at yourself in the mirror hand tracing the love bites and love marks that covered your body. Damn. You thought to yourself.
ââââââââââââââââââ
You awkwardly handed him his shirt after you exited the bathroom. He thanked you as he grabbed it and walked into the bathroom going to take a shower himself as he stilled smell of alcohol and the late night activities.
You walked into your kitchen not knowing what else to do you started making breakfast. It was pretty basic: toast, eggs, and some sausage.
Daniel exited the bathroom, his hair still a bit wet. He looked even hotter than before, how is that even possible. Shaking your head of those thoughts you slid a plate across the counter in front of him. You both ate in silence before he spoke up:
"Do you remember anything from last night?" He asked
You shook you head "I remember getting drunk but no I don't remember what your referring too" you said
"I don't either" he said softly munching on a peice of toast
ââââââââââââââââââ
After a little bit and a extreme amount of awkwardness Daniel left. It was weird you house almost felt empty now that he was gone.
It had been a few hours since Daniel left before you got a text:
??- hey this is Daniel, I asked Lando for your number I hope that's not weird
Yn- No it's not,
Daniel- good lol
Daniel- so I just wanna talk about last night real quick....
Yn- let's just not mention it again like ever
Daniel- agreed.
ââââââââââââââââââ
After that awkward first string of text messages you actually started talking to Daniel. It started off with just some comments on his racing or one of his posts soon you were texting him almost everyday. Text turned to calls, some calls turned to facetimes.
ââââââââââââââââââ
"Hey Danny" you smiled as you answered the face time placing your phone back on the counter facing you as you cooked.
"Hey y/n" he said, "what are you making today?" He asked
"Well I'm making this stir fry-" you started "wait what time is it for you?" You asked him
"Uhhh doesn't matter" he said the screen to your phone was almost completely black. You could only see bits of his face.
"Daniel" you said in a warning tone
"It's, 1am" he said muffling himself as he talked
"Daniel-" you started. "You litterly have a race tomorrow. Go to sleep"
"But-"
"Nope you need to sleep before the race"
He huffed "fine." You heard a little bit of shuffling before a quiet "goodbye"
"Good night danny" you said before grabbing your phone and hanging up the face time.
ââââââââââââââââââ
"AND LEWIS HAMILTON WINS THE BRITISH GRAND PRIX-"
ââââââââââââââââââ
After the celebration you got up and texted Daniel:
Yn- tell yuki I said congrats on points!
Danny- I get no congrats... đĽş
Yn- maybe if you went to sleep earlier youd be in points and you'd get a congrats too
Danny- :(
ââââââââââââââââââ
"Danny isn't it like past midnight over there or something?" You asked, you two were currently facetiming eachother again, while you worked on editing the next episode of your podcast.
"Yeah" he yawned "but I like talking to you" he said groggily
A notification popped up on your phone as soon as you looked over, "what the fuck?" You said
"Hmmm?" Danny asked
"Carlos just signed to Williams"
"What" he asked "he what? Williams" you heard some shuffling as he checked his phone looking through Twitter. "Damn" he chuckled "glad I was up to witness this with you"
"Youre just trying to get out of me scolding you" you chuckled
"...maybe" he smiled "well hey if I was over there I wouldn't have to stay up" he said sleepily
"You just want to be on the podcast huh?" You joked
"Maybe" he smiled "come on let me be on it"
You smiled "okay okay" you chuckled "I actually have recorded a bunch of episodes for over your summer break so, you can come over anytime"
"Really?" He asked hopefully
"Yes Danny" you said as you went back to editing. "Just schedule a flight and let me know how long you want to be here"
"What if I wanted to be there the rest of the summer break?" He asked
You freeze a bit in surprise but before he could say something you spoke "I wouldn't be apposed"
He smiled as he hummed softly. Soon you heard soft snores coming from your phone.
ââââââââââââââââââ
You heard a knock at your door. You walked over and opened the door a large smile on your face. As you opened the door to: Daniel Riccardo.
"Hey Danny" you smiled letting him inside
"Hey" he smiled walking inside nodding a quick thank you.
"Here let me show ya to the guest room" you smiled shutting the door behind him
ââââââââââââââââââ

"Okay" you said adjusting the mic arm in front of you as you sat down. Clearing your throat you start:
"Welcome to the Celeb Seats Podcast I'm your host Y/n, and to day I am joined by: DANIEL RICCARDOOOOOOO" you smiled
"Y/nnnn L/nnnnnnn" he said back
You chuckled "it's great to finally have you on"
"Great to be here" he smiled "sad I can't say that I'm the first f1 driver on the pod"
"But you can definitely say your the favorite" you chuckled
"True" he smiled
ââââââââââââââââââ
"Okay okay" you said as you breathed stomach hurting from laughing, you turned to the camera "Thank you for joining us for this episode of Celeb Seats! We'll see you later!"
You got up and stopped the recording on the cameras as well as the mics. "So what ya wanna do?" You asked Daniel as you packed up the camera
"Well I don't know what you have around here" he shrugged "you have anything in mind?" He asked
You smiled "You don't mine if we go on a bit on a trip before we get there right?" You asked
He shrugged "I think I'd live" he chuckled
ââââââââââââââââââ
As you pulled into the small dirt parking lot Daniel looked at the tall trees that surround it.
"Welcome to Highlands Hammock" you said "we don't really have mountains or the like for hiking trails but we have these cypress boardwalks" you smiled as you both got out of the car.
You two slowly walked the boardwalk, you pointed out the different types of trees, some animals and other plants.
"I love cypress swamps" you smiled "they're so beautiful" you chuckled
Daniel who was right behind you whispered "yeah beautiful" as he looked at you
"Hmm what did ya say?" You asked turning to face him
"Oh nothing don't worry" he smiled
ââââââââââââââââââ
You kinda forgot when you got here but you both ended up at a small park next to a lake. Sitting on a small bench as you watch the sun set across the lake and eating ice cream.
"This was nice" Daniel said
"Yeah" you smiled looking up at him
He looked back at you. You stare into eachothers eyes.
"I wouldn't mind spending all of summer break like this, with you" Danny said
"I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with you" you said
With that you leaned into eachother, lips touching you melted into the kiss. His lips were slightly rough but the kiss was gentle. He placed his hand on the side of your neck just under your jaw.
The kiss broke.
"God I've been wanting to do that for so long" he said
You chuckled "me too"
"So can I call you mine now?" he asked
"Yes you can, but I will never do a shoey" you said
Causing him to laugh before pulling you into another kiss.
You did in fact ended up doing a shoey. It was fucking disgusting. Never do a shoey.
Fin.

Could you please do amira going on keeping up with the kardashian as she grew a sweet bond with Kim at the med and all the kardashian love her, also the grid watching that episode for her
It was so much fun writing this one. You guys can always send some requests. Enjoy reading and Adios! -XoXo
Keeping up with the Kardashians
The anticipation in the room was palpableâa sense of dĂŠjĂ vu as drivers and WAGs gathered around the TV, waiting for the show to begin. Snacks and drinks were strewn about, and Landoâs impatient whining echoed through the room. âWhen is it starting?â he whined from the floor. Max groaned: "I swear to fucking God" and Lilyâs loud "Everyone, shut up. It's starting!" startled everyone.
Finally, after a quick recap of the last episode and the intro, the moment arrived. Kim, Khloe, and Kris sat outside on the garden furniture. Kim began, âYou guys know I attended the Met Gala a few weeks ago.â Khloe and Kris nodded, their curiosity piqued. âAnd you also know how I met this really sweet girl at the After Party. Well, I thought it was time to introduce you to this special someone.â
Khloeâs excitement bubbled over. âNo way. No freaking way. Kimberly, if this is a joke, Iâll never talk to you again.â Kris whispered, her smile wide, âOh my GodâŚâ
Then, a voice interruptedâthe very person they were discussing. âHello, mujeres guapas. How are you all doing?â Amira stood there, and Kim quickly enveloped her in a hug. âHi, wifey. Look at you. You look amazing.â The warmth between them was evident.
Amira turned to greet Kris and Khloe, hugging them both. As the women chatted, Kim beamed with pride. Finally, her wifey was meeting her family. She held Amiraâs hand, squeezing it three timesâan unspoken language of love, pride, and gratitude.
As the scene shifted to the Kourtney and Scott drama, chatter erupted in the room. âWhy did Kim grab her hand like that?â Kika asked with a hint of jealousy. âWhy arenât Kris and Khloe fans of me too?â Oscar wondered quietly. âDoes this mean sheâs an honorary Kardashian now?â Charles exchanged a confused look with Pierre. Carlos shushed the room, eager to hear more.
The scene transitioned to a Kardashian-Jenner family dinner. Amidst the chaos of kids playing outside, Kris began, âYou guys will never guess who Khloe and I met the other day.â The table leaned in, eager for the revelation. âWho?â Kendall teased. Kylie and Kourtney exchanged amused glances. âAmira Sainz.â
The room erupted. âNo. No way!â âWhat?â âWhat theâŚâ Excitement buzzed. Kendall fired off questions: âIs she nice? Does she like horses? Do you think sheâd like my modeling? Would she like ME?â Kourtney interjected, âHold your horses, Kenny. The only way theyâd have met Amira means thatââ Kylie cut her off, âKimberly Noel Kardashian, tell me you didnât.â "Why is everyone saying my full name the whole time?" asked Kim. Chaos ensued, and before viewers could witness the ensuing fight, the outro played.
Suffice it to say, with Amiraâs confirmed appearances for the next few races, the showâs ratings soared.

Hello, everyone.
I came by to say something important: I got sidetracked by nekkid Jimin searching for a specific cranberry sauce recipe on Pinterest. You're welcome.
Why is nekkid Jimin on my Pinterest you say? Welllll.... maybe you need to ask Pinterest that question.
Needless to say, I was thrilled to see Jimin's words on Weverse. And then even more thrilled to see Jungkook being typically adorable. It's really hard to put into words the beauty of it all that I see in my mind. It is reassuring to see evidence that where ever they are, whatever they are doing every day, has not changed them at all. And Jin and Hobi jumping in trying to keep up with those two.
Speaking of Jin and Hobi, so it appears they will bring back a little taste of Bangtan Chaosâ˘ď¸ in the next episode of Run Jin. The kidnapping episode of Run Jin looks like it will be about getting Hobi to do the Running Wild dance challenge. Perhaps Hobi will launch his Tiktok after that, by now surely he's found a handle that hasn't already been taken by Armys (heh heh)
Namjoon... oh, Namjoon... I never thought he'd so openly pine for BTS. He can't wait and neither can we.
It snowed a lot in Seoul today, setting records not seen in over 100 years. Those memories from Japan they could recall during their enlistment... and also JK posted snowy pics of Bam that his caretakers sent to him.
Anyway. I didn't mean to stay away from here for so long but after Hobi came back, it seemed difficult to put thoughts into words. There was a lot going on in the world and in my personal life... still is... but during these last six weeks, a lot of stuff also rearranged itself in my mind. A lot of things became more clear. Maybe I can get some of it down in coherent paragraphs at some point soon but trying not to think too hard about it all because that takes the fun out of everything. Know what I mean?
As we wait for the Bing X V White Christmas song and literally in a few hours, Tae's little cinematic MV for Winter Ahead, I want to wish those celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. a Happy Thanksgiving! And everyone else, I hope you all have a great rest of the week and weekend.
#jimin#jungkook#jin#hobi#namjoon#taehyung#yoongi#fyi yoongi's friends see him regularly#everything's gonna be ok#jikook#kookmin#sorry i was away#life is hectic

Terms and Conditions
Russell Shaw X F!Doctor!Reader
Summary: when your sister's fiance goes missing, you call Colter for help, and he brings along his rugged, but handsome and charming older brother, Russell.
Warnings: mature content, eventual smut so minors dni (always), no use of y/n, this part only contains cursing. I've never written anything so tame (it's okay next part won't be)
WC: 3.6k
A/N: so I finished tracker, yay and Russell owns my thoughts rn so here we are. I'm not exactly sure where I'm going with this. I'm not great at writing series, but this idea called for development I can't do in a one-shot. I started this right after finishing tracker last week and I finally had time to proof read it. I also had a hard time with Russell's characterization, mans been in only one episode, so if i didnt portay him perfectly sorry i tried. Happy readings.
I don't do tag lists, if you'd like keep up with upcoming parts follow @midnightreadinglibrary and turn on notifications (I only reblog my written works on there)
You have encountered a lot of grief and sorrow in your life. Pain, you were familiar with it. And you could safely say that one of the worst was heartbreak. You were all too familiar with that one. And right now, your baby sister was experiencing it, too.
âRosie?â You called into your apartment as you kicked your shoes off and tossed your keys like they had offended you. With a heavy sigh, tired from a long and stressful day at the hospital, you dragged your sore feet through your apartment.Â
The living room was empty, TV off. The kitchen was dark with the lights off. You frowned, calling your sisterâs name, louder again. Couple seconds went by. Silence. You padded down the hall to the guest room. You could hear faint indistinct sounds. The closer you got to the guest room the clearer the sound became. It sounded like crying.
âRosalie?â Your voice grew louder with concern as you opened the door to the bedroom, and there you saw your sweet baby sister, sobbing into her pillow. Your heart immediately sank and you rushed to her side. âOh honey, itâs okay.â
You sat on the edge of the bed and pulled her into a hug. She held you tight as she cried. It broke your heart to see her like this.
âItâs not okay! Heâs been gone for over a week!â She sobbed. You squeezed her shoulders as she sat up and sniffled. âOur wedding is in three months! Why hasn't he come back?â
You stared into her eyes, the same color as your own and you sighed, only being able to give her a look of sympathy in return. You didnât want to tell her what you thought.
âI dunno.. I mean.. What if he just.. You know?â The look on your face said everything you couldnât with words, and Rosie looked like she wanted to cry even more.
âHe didnât bail. He wouldnât⌠I know him. He's missing, why wonât anyone believe me?â She raised her voice, almost choking on a sob, and you immediately felt so horrible for even suggesting such a thing.Â
âNo, hey, Iâm sorry for saying that, I do believe you. Have you heard anything from the cops?â She shook her head and you sighed heavily.Â
âI canât keep waiting, what if he got hurt? What if someone hurt him? Please, I need to do something.â She begged you, eyes filled with tears, you had never seen your sister so sad, so hopeless. She was always the more bubbly, optimistic and lively out of the two of you. But ever since her fiance went missing, you didnât see that spark anymore. It broke your heart.
âHey, itâs going to be okay. I think I know someone who can help, alright? Weâll find him.âÂ
~~~~~~~
âHey Doc, to what do I owe this call? Itâs been like what, three years?âÂ
You sighed softly at the voice on the other line. You didnât exactly want to resort to this, but you didnât know what else to do, but you had the money, your sister didnât exactly have a lot to spare with her wedding planning, and all.
âI need a favor, Colter. Well, not exactly a favor, Iâll pay but, I need help asap.â You rubbed the side of your throbbing temple, you heard him hum, telling you to go on. âMy sisterâs fiance went missing last week. Theyâre supposed to get married in three months, and the poor thing is a wreck.â
Colter sighed. âA runaway groom? You know what that sounds like, right?â
âYes, I know. But I know this guy, heâs a decent guy, and I know he loves my sister, he wouldnât just leave her like this.â You tried to explain, Colter sighed again. âListen, the guy was in the Army, heâs a Navy SEAL now, went overseas a lot, and my sister told me heâs been acting weird since his last assignment. Just humor me, please? I canât see her like this.â
Colter stayed silent for a long minute, you honestly thought he had hung up, but you ultimately heard him take a deep breath before responding. âFine, send me his details, I should get there by morning if I head out now.âÂ
âThank you.âÂ
~~~~~~~~~~~
Chaos, chaos and more chaos.
You just wanted five minutes to breathe. You sat down, for the first time in hours today and took in a deep breath. Out of the corner of your eye you saw Rosie, almost zombie-like as she walked through the emergency department You called out to her.
âHey, did you get some sleep?â You asked her with worried eyes. She shrugged. âListen, I called an old friend, he helps find people. Maybe he can find James, âcause the cops clearly arenât going to.â You saw the smallest smile, and the smallest bit of hope light of her eyes.
âReally? What, is he like a PI or something?â She tilted her head at you, seemingly just as exhausted as you were.
âI mean..â You hesitated, unsure on how to explain Colterâs job to her. âI guess? He collects reward money. When someone goes missing and a reward is offered, he finds people for that reward.â
âBut I didnât offer any reward. I canât even afford to buy a pair of shoes right now.. On my shitty nurse salary. Iâve already spent so much of my savings on planning the wedding. And these student loans are killing me. I canât pay him.â She started to ramble in panic, motioning her hands around. You stood up and grabbed her hands.
âItâs fine. I got it covered. Take it as your early wedding gift?â You flashed her a toothy smile, hoping to humor her at least a little. She looked at you with apprehension. âNot a word, okay? I want him to come home to you, I donât mind spending some money if it means you can be happy.â
She could have the happiness you never could.
Rosieâs eyes filled with tears and you thought she was going to burst into tears in the middle of the emergency department, but instead she hugged you, and she hugged you so fucking hard you thought she broke one of your ribs. You laughed softly and patted her head reassuringly. You were about to say something to her but you heard your name being called. You turned around and saw one of the rotation nurses.
âYou have visitors at the front desk.â She told you. You scrunched up your face in confusion.
âWho? I wasn't expecting anyone.â
âDonât know. The front desk just said two guys asked for you directly.â
Oh. Colter. But who was the other guy?
âAlright, thanks.â You nodded at her. You then looked at Rosie with a warm reassuring smile and you held her hands in yours. âWeâre gonna find James, I know it. Iâll let you know when my friend wants to meet with you, he normally likes to talk with the missing personâs closest relative. Try to focus on work alright?âÂ
You left her with that, hoping she would trust you. And you hoped you could trust Colter. With a heavy sigh you walked to the front desk of the emergency department. And there you saw Colter, hands in his pockets as he talked with another man you didnât recognize. With a bit of skepticism, you approached both men, letting your presence be known with a clear of your throat. They both turned to look at you, Colter with a warm welcoming smile, but the other guy, who was arguably the hottest man you had ever seen in your lifeânot that it was relevantâlooked at you like a deer in headlights, like starstruck.
âHey Colter,â you gave him a cordial smile, then you looked at his slightly shorter companion, though both men were still a good head taller than you. âAnd Colterâs friend. Didnât know you had a partner.â
âI donât. This isââ
âRussell. Colterâs more handsome and charming older brother.â Russell interrupted, extending a hand to you. You looked at Colter, who looked less than impressed and you couldnât help but snort a bit.
âI see the flirty nature is a family thing then?â You took Russellâs hand with a small laugh but you quickly swallowed when you felt the warmness of his large hand as it engulfed your smaller one. You werenât really laughing then. You made eye contact with Russell, you had never seen a pair of prettier eyes, a breathtaking shade of green, and an intensity that was equally breathtaking. It didnât help that he was smiling at you, too.Â
You cleared your throat and took your hand back, choosing to look at Colter instead, âSo uh, whatâs the plan?â
âRight, well, first things first, I need more details about this James, think you could take an early lunch? I would also need to talk to your sister as soon as possible.âÂ
You chewed on your bottom lip, catching a glimpse of your watch before ultimately nodding, âYeah, just give me an hour. We can meet at this cafe nearby, Iâll send you the address. You can meet with my sister after her shift. Sheâs been staying with me.â
They looked at each other for a second, shrugged then nodded at you. These two were definitely brothers.Â
~~~~~~~~
You were frantic as you pulled into the cafe, running late after a code blue that took up almost the whole hour to get under control. You were sure that you looked like a mess, still in your scrubs, pieces of hair falling out of your bun as you entered the cafe. You were almost embarrassed that Russell was going to see you like this, you didnât care too much about Colter, though. When you entered you saw them sitting at a booth, two cups of coffee sitting on the table but no food. You felt a bit bad. Colter noticed you and waved you over, making Russell turn his head to look at you. And somehow he didnât seem to care about how wild you looked.Â
âIâm so sorry. I had a code blue. I hope I didnât waste your guyâs time.â You said almost frantic, barely able to catch your breath. You unconsciously sat next to Russell, who seemed quite happy about that.
âNonsense. We were actually waiting for you to order, right Colt?â Russell reassured, and when you turned your head to look at him he was smiling at you, a toothy smile that made the corners of his eyes wrinkle a tiny bit, it was kind of cute, actually.Â
âYep. Russell insisted we waited. Even though we haven't eaten anything in over six hours.â Colter sighed sipping on his coffee.Â
âWell at least one of you has manners.â You narrowed your eyes at Colter, and you heard Russell rumble a laugh.
âYâknow what? Letâs just focus on the case, okay?â You held back a laugh and simply nodded, trying to ignore the intoxicating scent of Russell beside you, a mixture of bourbon and sandalwood.Â
Colter asked you a million questions, ones you had answers to, and others didnât, which was probably best if he talked to your sister, too. Your food also arrived quickly, which you were thankful for since you hadnât had anything other than the Keurig coffee from the doctors lounge.Â
âSo, you said James was in the army?â You nodded as you munched on a fry. âAnd is Navy SEAL now?âÂ
âYeah, he went overseas every month or so. But after his last assignment a few weeks ago he told my sister about getting out.â You answered as you bit into your cheeseburger. You didnât often like to indulge in greasy heavy foods, but you were beyond stressed from both work and your sister, so you needed some joy in your life.
âHe wanted out? Why?â Russell asked beside you. You shrugged.
âI donât know. One thing or another about being tired of being on the battlefield, wanting to be home more. Or thatâs what Rosie told me.â You answered as you munched on your burger. You thought for a few seconds before speaking again. âBut if you ask me, I think something went wrong in his last assignment. Rosie said he didnât speak to her for a whole day after coming home, and that he was constantly on edge and irritable for weeks leading up to his disappearance.âÂ
âMaybe. Might be worth looking into.â Colter shrugged as he took a bit out of his sandwich. âYou think weâd be able to look into his assignments overseas?â He asked Russell.
âDoubt it. If theyâre classified, which most likely they are, theyâd either have little to no paper trail, or they would be heavily secured.â Russell said with a mouthful of fries, which Colter clearly disapproved of. But Russell paid no mind to it, his attention was all on you.
âHow do you know?â You asked Russell with genuine curiosity. He half grinned a bit.
âI used to be in the Army too. Spec ops. That's why Colter brought me along.â Russell explained, and you almost wanted to sigh out loud. âSo I know damn well how secretive some of those overseas assignments can be. Most are black-ops and off the books. Itâd be hard to find the files.âÂ
So much for tall, rugged and handsome. Guess youâre going to have to look from afar.
âWell fuck. That sounds lovely.â You mumbled into your burger, annoyed and frustrated. Russell actually laughed this time.
âYou know that burger isnât gonna run away, right?â He chuckled at the way you were so aggressively stuffing your face. Colter narrowed his eyes at his older brother and kicked him under the table. âOkay, ow.âÂ
âMind your business? Also, you have no room to talk dude.â You scoffed, eyeing his sriracha covered fries with disgust. âThatâs actually fucking criminal.â
âWell, this one has a mouth on her. And here I was trying to be a gentleman.â He chuckled, playful grin on his face as he shoved a particularly heavily sriracha-covered fry in his mouth while you watched. âDonât knock it âtil you try it, sweetheart.âÂ
You stared at him with an indescribable feeling. You didnât remember the last time a man had this much of an effect on you. Sure, in your mind it didnât do him any favors that he used to be in the military, but youâd gladly break your own rule for just a little taste of him. He was a little rugged, sure, but he was undeniably handsome and carried himself with an alluring sense of self confidence. And the way he smiled at you, God, it made you feel like a schoolgirl, warm and tingly. You didnât remember the last time a man looked at you like that, either.
âCan we focus here?â Colter, the ever present voice of reason.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~
âWho woulda thought, you look even more beautiful without the scrubs.â Those were the first words out of Russellâs mouth when you opened the door. You had told them to stop by in the evening after Rosieâs shift so they could talk to her.Â
âRussell,â Colter sighed, looking at his brother with annoyance but Russell simply smiled, unapologetically proud of himself. They both looked at you, you were trying so hard not to smile right now. âAlright, is Rosie home?â
âYeah, sheâs in the living room. Come in.â You shook your head softly as you allowed both brothers into your apartment.Â
You led them to the living room, you caught Russell looking around with curiosity. Maybe he was trying to figure you out, figure out how to get on your good side. But he otherwise didnât say anything.Â
âRosie, the guys I told you about are here.â You called out to her and she immediately shot up to her feet and rushed to your side. You looked at her, poor thing looked like she had been crying again. âThis is Colter, the tracker, and thatâs his brother, Russell. Theyâre going to help us, okay? Colter just needs to ask you a few questions about James.â
Rosie was nodding profusely, âAnything, Iâll tell you everything you want to know. Just help me find him? Please?âÂ
Colter led her to the couch, perhaps sheâd feel safer if she was comfortable. You didnât want to intrude, you probably werenât needed right at this time, anyway.
âIâm going to get you guys something to drink.â You announced, wanting to give them some privacy.Â
âIâll help.â Russell piped up and you looked at him with curiosity, he simply smiled at you. You didnât bother to question him.
You went into the kitchen, Russell was close behind you. You could feel his intense gaze burn into the back of your head as you rummaged through your fridge. You tried to ignore it.
âBeer?â You asked, glancing over your shoulder at him.Â
âSure.âÂ
You grabbed three beers from the fridge and Rosieâs iced tea. You handed Russell his beer before moving around your kitchen to grab a glass cup from the cupboard. You poured the iced tea into the cup before turning around to find Russell still looking at you, with wonder, and maybe something else you couldnât quite decipher.Â
âSo whatâs your deal?â He asked you as he sipped his beer. You tilted your head at him and furrowed your eyebrows.
âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean, yeah youâre clearly a kick-ass doctor, and a caring sister but, what else is there? I donât see any pets, surely no kids, no pictures on the walls, minimal decor, hopefully no boyfriend,â You laughed at the last part. âSo, what are you about?â
âRight, well uh,â you chuckled softly, awkwardly sipping on your beer as you leaned on the counter. You shrugged. âIâm a doctor who works sixty-plus hours a week, I have zero social life, Iâm not home nearly enough to have a pet. And I certainly have no time for the nonsense of men my age. But hey, if you want to know what Iâm about, itâll take more than just shitty beer and a kitchen conversation to figure me out.â
Russell smiled. Genuinely smiled. But it was a different kind of glint, like he was amused, impressed almost. He chuckled as he nodded, stepping to stand in front of you. You straightened up, looking up at him.
âSurely youâd have time to get a drink with me sometime then? I donât know if Iâm your age but I can assure you Iâm not going to waste your time. Would love to try and figure you out while Iâm here.â He bit his bottom lip, eyebrows raised and green eyes big with expectancy.Â
Yesâsaid the warmth between your legs.
Noâsaid your rational mind.
âRussellâŚâ Your voice was a warning, apprehensive as you chewed on your bottom lip. âI donât think I should be going on dates while my sisterâs fiance is missing.âÂ
âItâs her fiance thatâs missing, not yours.â He chuckled. You knew he didnât mean to sound mean, or mocking but you scoffed softly, moving away from him. His words hit you in ways he could never know.
âI don't do⌠That. Yâknow, dating? Or hookups. I donât do romance, period.â You argued, hands on your hips. He tilted his head at you, eyebrows raised as he looked at you with that indescribably charming look of his. God, did he make it hard to say no.
âDonât have to be anything. Iâm not expecting anything. Just drinks, no strings attached, weâll see where the night takes us, yeah?â He made a very compelling argument, and his unwavering confidence and charm was hard to resist.
Truly, you didnât remember the last time you felt so tempted to go on a date with someone, and it wasnât for lack of trying. From coworkers to patients have made advances youâve always easily turned down. But Russell? You didnât feel like you wanted to turn him down. You gave in so easily.
âWhadaya say?â
âYeah, okay. Just drinks. Weâll see what happens. But donât get any funny ideas, okay?â You warned him. He chuckled but ultimately raised his hands up in defense when you narrowed your eyes at him.
âI am a gentleman, sweetheart. I know how to behave in front of a pretty girl.â
Your concern was if you could behave in front of a hot guy. Especially when he was as hot as Russell.

A Love Connection Part 8
Can you believe we have finally reached the end? It has been an absolute blast going through this with all of you. With any luck (fingers crossed) Next week will also have another special story come out next Tuesday, the sequel to Icarus (metal band) so that I can get it out before Halloween.
In this we had the end of Steddie's date, the end of the episode and cute little reunion epilogue. (which may or may not have a 9-1-1 joke)
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7
~
Once they had walked off their breakfast and was getting hungry for lunch, Eddie was given a picnic basket and cooler by the crew and they drove out to the park for their picnic.
They sat on opposite sides of the park table as Eddie unpacked everything. There were turkey sandwiches with avocado slices and ranch dressing. There were sour cream and onion potato chips, brown sugar baked beans, and homemade potato salad.
He then pulled out black cherry soda from the cooler and his favorite beer. Steve was instantly endeared further.
âYour bestie is an absolute hoot, by the way,â Eddie said, opening the bag of potato chips.
Steve grinned around his first bite of sandwich. âSheâs like that. I donât know what I would do without her.â
âNot be on this game show for a start,â Eddie teased.
âIâm not surprised she told you about that,â Steve huffed in good humor. âDid she also tell you that technically the whole queer dating season is my fault?â
âYou mean your absolutely brilliant and amazing idea?â Eddie said grinning back. âToo much wine and you get really cute, according to her.â
Steve buried his head in his hands and ran his fingers through his hair. âYeah. Iâm a silly drunk.â
âWell, rest in peace Garfield,â Eddie said, âyour death has brought me the best boy Iâve ever had the pleasure of meeting. To Valhalla!â He raised his beer and Steve clanked his soda bottle against it.
âHe was a good fish,â Steve said solemnly. âI have a cat named Odie now.â He pulled out his phone and flipped to his photos. He handed the phone to Eddie.
âHeâs adorable,â Eddie cooed. âMy uncle is a huge Garfield fan. He collects mugs and his most prized possession is a Garfield head one.â
Steve grinned. âIâve people give me flack for naming the fish Garfield and the cat Odie, but fish donât last long enough in Garfield to have names. And Odie isnât an orange tabby, so that wouldnât work for him.â
âMakes sense,â Eddie said nodding his head. He took a bite of his sandwich. âMuch better than Subway. I had a lot of fun making everything.â
Steve paused mid bite. âWait? Really?â
âYup!â Eddie said. âThe potato salad and beans are my uncleâs recipe.â
âTheyâre really good.â
Eddie blushed and hid behind a lock of hair.
They talked about Eddieâs uncle, Wayne and all of Steveâs kids. Then it was time to pack up. They played at the playground a bit just being silly.
âNow,â Eddie said, after tackling Steve to the ground, âI understand this town doesnât have minigolf, but it does have bowling and an arcade that has managed to survive the digital era, so what will it be?â
Steve thought about it for a moment. âThe arcade. The flashing lights at the bowling can give me a migraine.â
âScore!â Eddie cackled gleefully. âI was hoping for the arcade.â
It was that moment that he realized how close their faces were. He leaned down and pressed a sweet kiss to Steveâs mouth.
âOh,â Steve stuttered when Eddie pulled back. âWow. That was amazing.â
Eddie smiled widely. âAn amazing kiss for an amazing guy.â
Steve knocked out Eddieâs arms and rolled them over, pinning the other manâs arms above his head. He straddled Eddieâs waist and looked down at him fondly. âGotcha!â
Eddie surged up and kissed him.
Then there was a cough and Steve sprang off of Eddie, looking kinda sheepish. âI kinda forgot about the cameras there,â he said helping Eddie to his feet.
Eddie smiled, smoothing out Steveâs hair. âItâs all right.â
They got back into the car drove to the arcade. They played all sorts of games, they raced each other, played skee ball, Steve even shot a few hoops to win them extra tickets. Tickets they turned in for two matching tiger plushies.
âHobbes,â Steve said pointing to Eddieâs, âand Tigger.â
âI approve!â
~
Dinner at Bennyâs blew Eddieâs mind as much as Big Maâs blew Steveâs. He loved everything about it. Including Benny.
Steve couldnât remember having a date that went this well before in his life. They never ran out of topics to talk about and he was going to have to admit that he was falling a little bit in love.
Finally the date was drawing to a close and it was time for Eddie to ask his questions. They had gone up to the Quarry and set it up for them to sit on the hood of Eddieâs car on a blanket.
âAll righty!â Eddie said pulling out cue cards. âFirst question, who was your first kiss?â
Steve smiled. âA girl named Alice. Itâs when I learned it was strictly boys for me. Up to that point I had held on to hope that I was bisexual so that my dad wouldnât kick my ass. Still dated women in a futile attempt to force myself. But once I got to college, I dropped the pretense.â
âOof,â Eddie said. âI felt that. My dad was a homophobic asshole too. He came out of the woodwork briefly when I got famous enough to be in the news. But I sent him packing.â
âI think thatâs what upset my parents the most,â Steve huffed, âwas that I didnât chose a job that they could depend on after they retired to mooch off of.â
âI hear you,â Eddie said. âSecond question, have you played D&D?â
Steve burst out laughing. âNo, I had sex in high school,â he said quoting that TV show.
Eddie held his hands to his chest. âAre you suggesting that I didnât? For shame! Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow!â He moved to get up but Steve grabbed his wallet chain and dragged him back down.
âYouâre ridiculous,â Steve said, his cheeks beginning to hurt from all the smiling. âI like that.â
Eddie beamed at him. âYay!â
Steve kissed him on the cheek and he blushed.
âThird question,â Eddie said shyly, âWhatâs your favorite cartoon series?â
Steve hummed as he thought about it. âAvatar: The Last Airbender. There is just something so good about that show.â
âYes!â Eddie crowed. âSecret Tunnel, Secret Tunnel!â
Steve laughed. âOr when Sokka got poisoned by the cactus juice?â
âI loved that,â Eddie said, bumping their shoulders together. âWhat is your favorite quote?â
âShit, shit, shit, fuckity, shit, shit, fuck and willy. Willy, shit and fuck and...tits,â Steve said with a completely straight face.
Eddie giggled. He stopped to look at Steve in shock and awe and then he giggled again. It just bubbled out of him. âWhere the hell is that from? Clearly Iâm not watching the right movies, damn.â
âThe Kingâs Speech,â Steve said with a huff of laughter. âItâs about the Duke of York, who had a stammer and was suddenly made king of England when his older brother abdicates.â
âYouâll definitely going to have to show me that one,â he said with a grin. âIt sounds fun.â
âItâs not all swearing,â Steve said with a giggle. âIt was a scene about his speech therapist trying to get him to swear so that he understands itâs all in his head.â
âStill,â Eddie replied fondly. âIf you like it, I still want to see it.â He cleared his throat. âLast question.â
Steve took his hand and gave it a squeeze.
âWho had the better date, me or Billy?â Eddie asked shyly.
Steve kissed him. âIâll tell you that in terms of kisses, he only got two. A kiss at the questions portion and again at the door to my hotel room. Now, how many kisses have you gotten?â
Eddieâs eyes twinkled. âI think I lost count.â
Steve kissed him again. âMe too.â
âI hope Iâm not being presumptuous,â Eddie murmured, âbut I got you a present.â
âOh?â
Eddie hopped off the hood and opened the trunk. He got out a large white box and brought over to Steve. He handed it to him as he clambered back onto the hood.
Steve opened it up and there nestled the white tissue paper was a lingerie set. It was pink chiffon and white lace. It was a babydoll top and matching bottoms. It wasnât a thong for which Steve was grateful.
âEddie itâs beautiful,â he whispered. âI love it.â
Eddie smiled broadly. âIâm glad.â He paused for a moment. âI have a small confession. Iâm not a sports fan. The college basketball team was literally pulled out of my ass. I didnât lie, I used to watch it with Uncle Wayne...â
âBut youâre a nerd?â Steve teased.
âYuck it up, pretty boy,â Eddie said dryly. âBut, yes.â
Steve bumped their shoulders together. âI have a small confession too. Or maybe not so small, depending you.â
âWhaâcha got?â
Steve bit his lower lip and lift the box a little. âIâve never done anything like this before. I wanted to see how Billy would react.â
âOh.â
âBut seeing it here, with you,â he continued, not looking up. âI want it, with you. I want to be your princess.â
Eddie carefully removed the box from Steveâs hands and moved off to the side. Then he tackled Steve again showering him with kisses.
âCome on back to my hotel room, sweetheart.â
âIâd love to.â
~
âWelcome back to the âLove Connectionâ,â Bob said. He had changed suits into a nice dove grey one with a silver tie.
Steve was off to one side, while the three Suitors were on a large white sofa.
âEddie was a runaway favorite leaving the question round,â Bob continued. âDid Billyâs date go well enough for a second date?â
Steve shook his head. âHe was charming and sexy, but I donât think we clicked.â
Billy nodded his head back and forth. âIâd agree, I was hoping for someone a little more adventurous and daring. Someone with hidden depths.â
âOuch!â Bob winced. âPlease tell Eddie fumbled somewhere. Like does he drool in his sleep or have a vodka aunt who is way too invested in his sex life? Something!â
Steve laughed. âIâm afraid not. Eddie was goofy and silly and as one of my students wisely said, the right person for the right now.â
âWise kid,â Bob said softly. âSo overwhelming in favor of Eddie Munson?â
âVery much so!â
Bob turned back to audience. âAnd there you have it. Join us next time for Tina Peterson, and her three lovely Suitors, Daren, Emily, and Carol.â
~
When he got home, he had Eddieâs number and promise that Eddie would come down from Chicago to be with him, he just had to do a few things first.
The first episode wouldnât air until October, so they had to be discreet, but it was nice to have someone he knew was waiting for him.
They had to do a little reunion filming to see if they were still together and if Steve wanted to change his answer.
âSteve welcome back to âLove Connection,â the host, Bob said cheerfully. âWhy donât you tell us about whatâs been going on in your life?â
âHey, Bob,â Steve said with a smile. âIâm actually glad to be back. I went on a sabbatical from work after the school year ended.â
âWhatâs a sabbatical?â Bob asked, cocking his head to the side.
âItâs paid leave,â he explained, âusually in colleges and the like, but basically for a year, I can take time off to focus on other things, but my job will still be there when I get back.â
âNice.â
âI took it because I appeared on here,â Steve said wryly. âNothing against the show, but it is a little racier than most schools like for their teachers. This way, the show will air and by the time all the dust settles I can go back to my job.â He shrugged. âIf I want to. I havenât really decided yet.â
âSmart,â Bob agreed. âTell us about that adorable kitten of yours.â
They flashed up a picture on screen of Odie still tucked under his chin, but much bigger.
âYeah,â Steve said with a grin. âWe found that heâs probably a Maine Coon. Which if you know anything about the breed, biiiiigggg cat.â
âWill he get bigger?â Bob asked his eyes wide.
âMost likely,â Steve replied. âThey stop growing at eighteen months.â
âDamn!â He turned to the Suitors. âGentlemen. Welcome back.â
All three of them murmured their hellos.
âLetâs start with Tommy,â Bob said. âTell us about what youâve been up to.â
âI moved to LA and am working full time at a firehouse,â Tommy said with a blush.
The audience oohed as they flashed up a picture of Tommy in his gear with some of his fellow fire fighters.
âCongrats!â Bob said.
âI have a boyfriend, too,â Tommy said. âHis name is Evan Kincade and heâs the one on the left of me.â
âWell then!â Bob said brightly. âThatâs a first for our show. A discarded Suitor finding love on their own. Well done.â
Tommy blushed. âThanks.â
âAll right, Billy,â Bob said, turning to the man in the middle of the sofa. âTell us about your last six months.â
Billy brought up one leg and showed off an ankle monitor. âGot into a fight in a bar over a piece of ass that I didnât know was taken. So Iâm teaching youths how to surf as part of my community service. That means I lost sponsors and couldnât compete outside of LA. But Iâll be back at it next season.â
Bob and Steve share a concerned glance.
Steve is so glad he dodged that bullet.
âAnd Eddie,â Bob finished. âWhat have you been up to?â
âMoved to Hawkins to be closer to my uncle, Wayne,â Eddie said with a grin. âWhen I was working up in Chicago, weâd visit each other on occasion, but now that heâs thinking of retiring, he would really like me closer to home. And I do my producing from anywhere really, so I figured what the hell.â
âThat must be nice for your uncle,â Bob said sweetly. âAdded bonus of being in Steveâs backyard didnât hurt either?â
Eddie laughed. âThose two are inseparable now. Youâd have to use a crowbar to pry them apart. I also ran a D&D game for Steveâs kids over the summer. Kept it short, but fun. They all had a blast.â
âSo are you two still together?â Bob asked, already knowing the question.
Steve smiled over at Eddie who blushed and nodded.
âWe moved in together back in June.â
Bobâs eyebrows shot up. âIâve heard of Uhaul lesbians but damn you guys move fast.â
âMy lease was up,â Steve explained. âMy best friend was moving in with her girlfriend of two years, and I didnât want to stay there. So when Eddie got settled into a house in town, I moved in with him.â
âWe scandalize our neighbors,â Eddie cackled with glee, âby being gay, democrats, and Iâm a metalhead. All the ladies thought Steve was single and brought over baked goods. And only when the last one tried to seduce him, he kissed me in front of all them. Boy did they go running.â
âItâs been great,â Steve insisted. âFences really do make the best neighbors.â
âWell there you have it,â Bob said. âA great success story.â
~
When they got home and curled up with Odie, Eddie asked, âAre you still mad at Chrissy and Robin for signing you up without telling you?â
Steve shrugged. âMaybe a little. I would have liked to have made the choice for myself, but I am grateful because I got to meet you.â
âI love you, Stevie,â Eddie said softly.
âI love you, too, Eds.â

oky so ik u got an ask from ddyskz about a similar thing but can you do some of the following (seungmin, han, lee know or bang chan) as perv best friends???? idk... its fine if not but i just love your work <3
also can i be /á ・ę・á\ anon?
A/N: Hi hi!! I loved this request, so let me know if you want a part two! Iâm so thankful that you are loving my work!!! Ofc you can be /á ・ę・á\ anon!!!
WC:1.2kÂ
Minors don't interact, 18+
Pairing: BestFriend Perv!Seungmin x Reader
Warnings: m!masturbation, pervy Seungmin, thatâs basically it!
You and Seungmin had been close friends ever since you both debuted. You had accidentally run into him, head-first behind the music bank stage. You ended up profusely apologizing, feeling so embarrassed and he just laughed, saying it was alright.Â
From then on, the entire week of promotions, you both were hanging out in secret. It was like a new friendship blossomed between the two of you. You both had similar interests, causing you both to talk a lot more. By the end of the week, you two had exchanged numbers.Â
As the years went on, you and Seungmin got closer, constantly hanging out with one another in secret. Sometimes it was just getting coffee, other times you were asking each other for advice on your vocals. One thing no one could take away from you was your guysâs Sunday drama watches.Â
You would either go to Seungminâs dorm, or he would come to yours and the both of you would binge-watch whatever new drama came out. This month was Daily Dose of Sunshine. You ended up coming over to Seungminâs dorm seeing as the boys had gone back to their houses for the weekend. Seungminâs family was out on a trip, so he stayed home. It worked perfectly for you as well because your group's new promotions had finally ended, meaning you could indulge in being lazy for a few days.Â
You knocked on their dorm door, waiting for Seungmin to open it up. âOpen the damn door!â you whined, pounding on it a bit more harshly. He finally did, rubbing his eyes. He wasnât wearing a shirt, only some plaid pajamas. âPut some clothes on you weirdo,â you said, walking to his room, taking off your jacket, and lying down on his bed.
You were dressed in just a tank top and pajama shorts, knowing that you both would be glued to his bed for hours. Â
âWhy are you here?â he groaned, putting on a shirt from his cupboard. âDid you forget?âÂ
âOh shit, what drama were we supposed to watch this month?â he asked, sitting on the bed, putting your splayed-out legs on his lap. âNuh uh, itâs a secretâ you giggled getting up and taking out your laptop from your bag. âNow please go get some snacks,â you said, pushing him lightly off the bed.Â
âOkay your highnessâ he groaned, getting up and taking a good look at you. You were curled up at his headboard, your knees pressed against your chest while your laptop was splayed on his bed, ready to start the next episode. You looked good, too good. No makeup on your face, your hair a bit crazy, but still looking as pretty as ever.Â
Every time you guys did this, he always had to jerk off after you left. The scent of you in his bed was too overbearing, and you always pressed against him the entire time you guys watched the show, never leaving his side. He wasnât sure how much longer he could take it.Â
He came back with a handful of snacks and some drinks, knowing that you would complain about being thirsty and then he would have to get up again and it would cause a whole fiasco. âHow much longer Minnie?â you groaned, growing impatient. âComing, you weirdoâÂ
âI was wondering, what do you want to eat for lunch, my treat,â you grinned at him. While you were gone, you stole one of his hoodies, it was already over-sized on him, but on you, it looked like a dress. He could feel his cock twitch in his pants, you looked so fucking good in his clothes.Â
âWhatever you want,â he said, getting into his bed next to you. He slipped his legs under the blanket, you following suit. You curled up next to him, starting the show. It was peaceful, three episodes went by like this, your koala bear wrapped around him, your head in his lap while his arms were wrapped around yours.Â
What you didnât feel, was his cock slowly getting harder at every movement you made around him. âHey, Iâm gonna go to the bathroom real quick.â You got up from his embrace, accidentally falling directly on top of him, your cunt brushing against his clothed cock. You didnât think much of it, but Seungmin was trying his best to not let out a groan. It was getting to be too much for him.Â
As you went to the bathroom, he tried re-adjusting his cock in his pants, trying to hide his growing boner from you in fear you would think it was weird. You came back without his sweatshirt, making an excuse that you were getting too hot, and the blanket was enough.Â
As you got back into the bed, you curled up against him, your chest pressing against the side of his body. He began feeling hot, there was one thing when you were wearing a hoodie while hugging him, but wearing just a tank top was too much. He tried not to shift a lot, barely paying attention to the show playing in front of him.Â
Before he could say anything, he heard your snores coming from beside him. You began moaning in your sleep and he could no longer take it. He looked over to see your tits spilling out from the shirt you were wearing and gently got up, not wanting to disturb you. He rushed to the bathroom, not knowing how long he had until you woke up and tried taking full advantage of it.Â
He locked the door, double-checking to make sure you couldnât come in, and slowly took out his already hardened cock from the confines of his pants. He slowly began stroking it, using the pre-cum the tip of his cock as a lubricant. All he could think about was your tits, and how good they would look with his cum covering them.Â
How he would fuck you so well while you were wearing his hoodie. He would fuck you anywhere you asked, even in his changing room during promotions if you asked. That made him think back to the outfit you were wearing for your most recent comeback. You pulled off the girl crush clothes perfectly, what he would do to fuck you from behind in that mini skirt you were wearing. When you were learning the new dance for the tiktok you both made, your tits were bouncing perfectly in your top.Â
He groaned, putting the bottom of his shirt in his mouth, scared that you might hear him. You ended up waking up from your nap, getting up, and knocking on the door to the bathroom, thinking he just got in there. âMinnie, are you okay?â you asked your voice still groggy from your nap, and it made him groan. The way you said his voice was enough to make him cum.Â
He began stroking his cock faster, needing to feel some sort of a release. âYeah, Iâll be out in a minute, I just am feeling kinda hot, Iâm trying to cool down.âÂ
âOkay Minnieâ you giggled from behind the door, âIâm going to order some food for us!âÂ
You went back to the bed, while he finally found his release thinking about your moans on his bed, cumming all over his stomach. Thank god he didnât get caught, or did he? Â

The Fella Part 10 (James Maguire X Quinn!Reader)
The Fella Masterlist
Main Masterlist
Request Something!
Summary: A family occasion takes a turn for a worse when Mary tells her aunt Bridie to drop dead, which she takes seriously. At her wake, Michelle has the bright idea to bring laced scones, which are taken and distributed among the guests.
A/N: credits to @crumpets-are-better-with-jam for writing out the script of the episode for me :)) btw just a warning, it gets a bit heated a little towards the end, but not too much i think. Also talks of drugs bc duh
***
It was becoming a bit difficult to keep up with who knew about Y/n and Jamesâ relationship and who didnât. Y/nâs sister Erin knew that she fancied James, but wasnât updated on the fact that they had been dating for over three months now. Clare knew that the pair were going out after catching them kissing at the Take That concert a few weeks ago. But the rest of the group and the teensâ families were none the wiser.
Except for Y/nâs father, Gerry.
One night, everyone was hanging around the Quinn household. There were movies, loads of chatting, and some dinner. But with so many people in the house, it was hard to have even a moment alone with James. So, while everyone argued over what to put on next, Y/n snuck out to the front room, boyfriend close behind.
âI thought we werenât gonna try to keep things a secret,â James said as he leaned against the wall, Y/n tucked into his side and holding his hand.
âI know Jamie. But with situations like this, I think itâs better to sneak away. I mean, imagine the shock that would come to Mammy, Granda, or Michelle if any of âem found out.â
âYeahâŚâ James sighed, realizing Y/n was right.
âNow imagine if all three of them found out at the same time.â Y/n laughed at the idea while Jamesâ eyes widened in horror. âBesides, wanting a moment to ourselves isnât all bad, right?â She asked, looking up at the boy.
âRight.â He mirrored her soft smile before leaning down to catch her lips in a kiss that was eagerly returned.Â
So eager that the two didnât hear the door open.
âYouâre lucky itâs me catching you two instead of your mother,â Gerry spoke, startling Y/n and James, who jumped apart. He felt a bit awkward catching his daughter kissing her boyfriend, but he didnât look too surprised that she had a boyfriend in the first place.
âDa, I can explain.â Y/n tried to go on, but Gerry held up a hand, signaling her to stop.
âI already know.â He said with a smile, hands clasping behind his back. âAbout you two. Never wouldâve if they didnât decide to film that concert you girls went to.â That new information mortified Y/n and James. But they didnât have time to fully react, because Gerry continued. âI think the three of us should have a little chat.â
***
The conversation wasnât as bad as Y/n thought it wouldâve been. Gerry was clearly happy and okay with the relationship, just wanting to make sure that they werenât doing anything too serious. That topic mightâve been the most embarrassing part of the interaction for Y/n.
James, on the other hand, seemed scared shitless the entire time. But Y/n suspected that her father wasnât so hard on him because of how he was treated by his father-in-law. He probably didnât want to create some kind of a cycle. Plus, Gerry was pretty fond of James, even before he learned about him and his daughter being an item.
The entire talk played on a loop in Y/nâs head as she sat in church with the rest of her family, waiting for their relativeâs wedding to start. Soon enough, the familiar tune of âHere Comes The Brideâ started to play, and everyone in the room stood.
âWhere do you reckon Aunt Sarah is?â Y/n asked her sister Erin, noticing that a family member was missing from their pew. But her question was soon answered when Sarah entered the room and started walking down the aisle, dressed in white. âGood God.âÂ
Gasps and murmurs filled the room as Sarah went to stand with her family in the pew, revealing a horrified bride and her father behind her.
âJesus, but that taxi took forever, so it did.â Sarah sighed. The bride-to-be looked at Sarah, absolutely appalled as she passed by. âAch, isnât she gorgeous?â
Mary rolled her eyes and looked up towards the sky as she took a deep breath.
âGive me strengthâŚâ She muttered.
***
Y/n was a bit surprised that the Quinn family, mainly her aunt Sarah, was still invited to the reception. But that didnât stop her from trying to have a good time. She, her sister, and her cousin drank and danced around as they waited for their friends to arrive.
Soon enough, Erin spotted their friends, nudging her sister and cousin to gain their attention. They quickly ran to the venue entrance to meet with the other girls and James.
âMuthafuckas!â Michelle yelled in greetings, arms spread out and grin wide.Â
âHowâs it been?â Clare asked with a smile.
The sisters and Orla all had different responses, but had the same reaction when Mary snuck up behind the three of them.
âGirls!â The shout startled them, and everyone whipped around to look at her.
âJesus, Mammy,â Y/n muttered.
âI said you could invite one friend to the reception. One!â
âMammy, they donât come separately,â Erin said, rolling her eyes. She thought her mother wouldâve learned this after years of friendship.
âWeâre like one big set,â Y/n said, gesturing to the group of teenagers.
âAye, weâre pack animals, Mary,â Michelle said. Mary was about to say something, possibly tell them to leave or further reprimand them, when James spoke.
âI love your hat, Mrs. Quinn.â He said with a smile, eyeing the accessory. Mary smiled, and the girls were surprised to see that her slightly sour mood had seemed to disappear.
âThanks, son.â She said, giving him a nod before looking at the whole group, a bit more serious. âNo wild carry-on. Do you hear me? Weâre in enough bother as it is. Best behavior.â
âCompletely.â Clare nodded, taking the commands to heart.
âYouâll have no trouble from us, Mary,â Michelle said with an innocent smile, which should be worrying. Mary walked off, and Michelle turned back to the group once she was out of earshot. âOkay, girls, who wants to do drugs?â Y/n snorted at the complete 180, but Michelle was completely serious.
The girls, mainly Michelle and Erin, like always, had a back and forth about the drugs and someone named Macca and so on. Y/n used this moment to turn to James, almost glued to his side at the back of the group as they all walked around the reception party.
âTrying to butter up Mammy, are you?â She asked teasingly, thinking about how Jamesâ little comment completely changed her motherâs sour demeanor.
James laughed a little, throwing his head back, and Y/n couldnât help but smile stupidly at the boy. He shrugged.
âWell, I figured I might as well start now to try to get on her good side. Itâs only a matter of time, I think.â Y/n nodded in agreement.
âWe could tell them.â She suggested after a small moment of silence. James perked up, both surprised and delighted by the notion. âI mean, like you said, itâs only a matter of time. And theyâd probably prefer hearing it from us over walking in on us doing something.â
Jamesâ cheeks reddened at the sentence. He blinked a few times, his mind clearly drifting off to some kind of thought.
âAnd by something⌠you mean like-â Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and music started blasting through the speakers. Y/n lit up in excitement along with the rest of the room, while James looked a bit confused at the commotion that started to happen.
ââRock the Boatâ! Itâs âRock the Boat!â Clare squealed as she recognized the song.
âHappy fuckinâ days!â Michelle said, and the girls ran to the dance floor. Y/n was dragging James behind her, who seemed slightly alarmed by everyoneâs intense enthusiasm.Â
Everyone sat on the floor in long, giant rows, fighting for space. The girls were able to push their way to the front, synchronously dancing with the rest of the party people. There, the girls continued their drug conversation, with Y/n and James now joining in.
âLook, Michelle,â Clare said to the girl behind her. âDrugs are illegal, drugs are addictive, and perhaps most importantly, in this country, you can lose your kneecaps if youâre caught doing them. And I like my kneecaps, Michelle; they suit my knees.â
âYou do have crackinâ kneecaps, Clare.â Orla smiled at the girl, having to leave to the side and turn her head to look at the blonde.
âIs that true?â James asked, lips close to Y/nâs ear.
âWhat?â Y/n turned around, almost startled by how James was to her face. âClareâs kneecaps?â
âNo. I mean losing your kneecaps.â
âOh. Clareâs a bit dramatic, Jamie.â The girl turned back around to face ahead. âBut sheâs a bit right, I think.â
âWhat?!â
Before any conversations could continue, a dull but loud thud was heard from a corner of the room. Everyone looked to see Aunt Bridie lying on the floor, with the Quinn family looking at Mary in shock.
***
The next few days felt tense at the Quinn household. It was mainly the teenagers being fearful of Mary, because they believed that she was the reason for her Aunt Bridieâs sudden death and didnât want to be her next victim. The house had never been so clean and tidy.
âI just cannot believe it.â Maryâs tone was almost flat as she stared off into space, clutching her teacup and rarely ever sipping it.
âListen, Mary,â Sarah said, sitting in the chair beside her. âNo matter what youâve done, youâre still my sister. Iâll stand by you.â
âI havenât done anything, Sarah.â
âExactly, love. Everybody knows you didnât mean to kill the old boot.â Grandpa Joe paused to take a sip of his coffee. âGod rest her soul.â
âI didnât kill her,â Mary responded, immediately tired of the assumption.
âYou know what I mean, not kill.â Joe looked around as if he would find the word he was looking for on the wall. âHex.â
âI didnât hex her either, Da.â She said defensively. âIt was just a very tragic-â
âMy mother, she had the gift too, yâknow.â Joe interrupted. âBy God, that woman could make her enemies drop like flies.â
âLook, I donât have any gift,â Mary said, letting go of her teacup to lay her hands flat on the table to show finality and seriousness. âThereâs no dark forces at play here. I just said somethinâ... unfortunate that happened to-â
âCause her death?â Sarah asked.
âCoincide with her death.â Mary corrected.
Ah, yes. Mary telling her aunt Bridie to drop dead and then her actually doing it was just an unfortunate coincidence. Nothing more, nothing less.
Meanwhile, at the sink, Y/n dried the last dish that Erin washed and handed it to Orla to put away. The three girls had been working as quietly as possible, not wanting to disturb Mary. Erin was the first to speak, turning around slowly with a nervous tone.
âRight. Well, thatâs the dishes done. Would you like another cup of tea, Mammy?â
As if remembering she even had a cup of tea, Mary looked down at the cup and took a quick sip.
âNo, Iâm fine.â
âIâll just grab the Hoover nâgive the stairs a bit of a going over.â
âAye, and I can sweep the hall and such,â Y/n added, trying to remember the last place she had seen the broom.Â
âAnd Iâll maybe do a bit of dusting,â Orla said.
Mary raised an eyebrow, suspicion of the girls pulling her out of her dazed and solemn mood.
âWhatâs gotten into you all?â She asked. âWhatâre you up to? Whatâs going on?â
âNothinâ!â Erin answered, still seeming a bit scared. âWe just thought that we should pull our weight a bit more, Mammy.â
âYou do so much for us, Aunt Mary.â
âAye, Mammy, you deserve a bit of a break.â
âI canât hex people, girls,â Mary said frustratedly. âIt was an accident.â
As if on cue, Gerry waltzed into the kitchen and smiled at his wife. He placed a hand on her shoulder as part of a greeting.
âSo, howâs the Wicked Witch of the North West?â The question seemed so loving and innocent. Y/n wouldâve laughed if Mary hadnât seemed like she was actually about to murder someone.
âWho put fifty p in the eedgit?â Joe asked, glaring at Gerry. Gerry looked at him confused, wondering what he had done this time.
Mary groaned, dropping her head into her hands.
âGod, how am I going to go to this wake?â
âItâll be grand, love,â Joe said. âBut listen, say if things do get heated, try not to rise to it. The last thing we want is another dead body on our hands here.â
Mary stared up at Joe with a blank expression.
âIâll do my best, Da.â
***
Later that evening, the Quinns and McCools arrived at the wake. Everyone seemed a bit surprised and startled to see Mary, clearly believing the rumors that she had been her Aunt Bridieâs undoing. After a slightly awkward encounter with Eamon, Bridieâs son, the girls escaped everyone by going upstairs to the room that held Bridie herself.
âShe really suits beinâ dead, doesnât she?â Orla said after a good moment of solemn silence, staring down at the woman.
âWhat?â Erin seemed disturbed by what her cousin had said, but Y/n nodded.
âNo, yeah, I agree. I like her better like this.â
âY/n, sheâs dead.â
âOh, so youâre saying you liked her better living?â
Before Erin could answer, the door to the room opened. The girls turned to see Clare peeking her head through.
âCan we come in?â She asked in a whisper.
âWhy are you whispering, Clare?â Y/n asked, tilting her head in confusion. Clare paused, thinking it over.
âI donât know.â
The rest of the group crowded around Bridieâs casket. Michelle and Clare walked to the end by her feet, and James decided to stand behind Y/n. He rested a hand gently on her shoulder, as if to comfort her, and she raised a hand of her own to lay on his, as if to thank him.
âThanks for cominâ, guys.â Erin sighed, seeming slightly distressed now. âItâs nice to have a bit of support in this very difficult time.â Everyone seemed very confused by the statement.Â
âYou thought she was a dick,â Michelle said.
âI never said that.â
âYou did, Erin,â Orla said.
âIâm pretty sure we all thought she was a dick, but you were the vocal one about it,â Y/n added.
âAye, Iâve definitely heard you say it,â Clare said.
âOkay, can I just check something?â James asked, clearly focused on something else. The girls looked at him, waiting for him to continue. âEverybody else can see the dead body, right?â
Everyone took a glance at the body in question, trying to figure out what the problem was.
âItâs just Bridie, Jamie,â Y/n said.
âItâs Bridieâs corpse.â The boy corrected. âItâs Bridieâs dead corpse.â
âItâs her wake. What were you expectinâ?â Michelle asked, rolling her eyes.
âHavenât you ever seen a dead body before?â Erin asked.
âOf course not!â James nearly yelled, shocked that Erin would even ask such a question. Michelle scoffed.
âChrist, but the English are weird.â
Orla leaned down close to Bridie, taking her face in her hands and looking up at James. She had that childlike but absentminded wonder in her eyes and smile that she always had.
âYou can touch her if you want.â
James flinched, moving his hands to Y/nâs hips as he took a slight step back. As he moved back, he maneuvered Y/n to act as a shield between him and the dead body and Orla. James looked at Orla in disgusted shock.
âWhy the hell would I want to touch her?â Y/n snorted at Jamesâ suddenly high-pitched voice.
âItâs nice.â Orla smiled brightly.
âStop it.â
âItâs just a dead body, James,â Clare said in a comforting tone, trying to get him to calm down. âWeâre all gonna be one someday.â
âOh, thanks for that, Clare!â Horrified, James brought Y/n closer until her back was pressed against his front. It was as if everyone else was some sort of strange or bad energy that could only be warded off by Y/n, and she was happy to go along with it. âYeah, thatâs helped!â
âItâs okay, Jamie,â Y/n said, patting one of the hands gripping her hips. James relaxed just a bit, but was still weary because of how weird this whole situation was to him. âCalm yourself.â
âIt really makes you think, doesnât it?â Michelle said solemnly, staring at Bridie for a second before looking at the girls. âDeath.â She sighed dramatically, and everyone immediately wondered what she was up to this time. âIt just⌠just makes you wanna⌠do everythinâ and just⌠try everythinâ.â
âWhatâs going on, Michelle?â Clare asked, looking at her suspiciously.
âYeah, what are you on about?â Y/n eyed the girl with a raised brow. Michelle suddenly seemed excited, a stark contrast to her fake grimness.
âDo you wanna see somethingâ class?â Michelle then threw her purse, which was, for some reason, big and bulky, onto Bridieâs feet. Someone wouldâve reprimanded her for disrespecting the deceased by using Bridie as a table, but they were too busy watching her pull a big Tupperware out of her purse. âPrepare yourself, girls.â She then popped the lid off to show what was inside. She looked at her friends excitedly.
âScones?â Erin asked, clearly unimpressed.
âThatâs right.â
âWhatâs so class about scones?â
âScones are lovely.â Orla countered, seeming a bit offended by Erinâs uninterest.
âAye, I like scones.â Clare nodded.
âNo, these arenât any old scones, girls.â Michelle insisted, shaking her head. âThese are funny scones.â
âFunnyâs the right word, alright,â Y/n said, reaching for one of the scones in the bin to look at it. As she dropped it back in with the rest, she looked at Michelle with a tilt of her head. âWhatâs so special about âem?â
âTheyâre drug scones!â Clare squeaked, pointing urgently at the food. âSheâs put the drugs in the scones!â
âToo fuckinâ right, I have,â Michelle said with a grin. âI wanted to do brownies, but this was the only recipe my ma had, soâŚâ
âI donât think itâs that hard to find a brownie recipe, Michelle,â Y/n said.Â
âIâm not goinâ out of my way to find a brownie recipe, Y/n.â
âWe talked about this, Michelle. We agreed.â Clare said, bringing the conversation back to the drugs.
âNo, we didnât,â Michelle argued. âAnyway, drugs arenât illegal when you put them into food. Everybody knows that.â
âIâm not so sure about that, Michelle,â Y/n said.
âIs that right?â James asked sarcastically, almost glaring with bewilderment at his cousin. âIâm not sure thatâs right.â
Just then, the door opened, and everybody froze. An old woman walked in, and the girls quickly recognized her as one of the caterers for the wake.
âAny cups up here?â She asked, walking towards them while looking around. She spotted the tub, and before anyone could stop her, she reached out and grabbed it. âIâll take that.â The woman said simply before leaving the room.
Everyone stared at where the scones had once been, panic running through them all.
âWhat the fuck just happened?â Michelle asked the room. Y/n looked at the girl with wide eyes.
âI believe a caterer just took your funny fuckinâ scones to give out at our great Aunt Bridieâs wake, Michelle.â
After another moment of feeling frozen, everyone went downstairs as fast as possible without drawing attention. Defeated and not knowing what to do, the girls sat down on the steps. As they settled, they watched Joe pass by with one of the scones in hand.
âWhat are we gonna do?â Clare asked frantically.
âItâs fine,â Michelle said shortly. But everyone could tell she was just as panicked as the rest.
âItâs definitely not fine!â Clare hissed. âThereâs drug scones down there. Peopleâll eat the drug scones, then weâve drugged those people, Michelle.â
âOur granda included.â Y/n butted in, resting her chin on the top of Jamesâ head, who was sitting on one of the steps just below her. âLord knows whatâll happen to him.â
âSo?â Michelle said, clearly worried but trying to seem aloof. âDrugging people isnât a crime.â
âYouâve a very loose grasp of the law, Michelle,â James said, rubbing at his eyes in disbelief and exhaustion.
âWhat kind of person brings hash scones to a wake?â Erin asked with a scowl. Michelle scoffed.
âTypical.â She said. âI try to do a nice thing, and this is the thanks I get.â
âA nice thing?â Y/n repeated in disbelief, turning back to look at Michelle. âOh yeah, how nice. Letâs all get hopped up illegally at a wake. Oh, wait. We canât, because someone took your stupid scones!â
âItâs terrible,â Clare added, sounding as panicked and scared as usual. âThereâs old people down there; what if an old person takes one?â
âWhy does everyone get so sentimental about old people?â Michelle asked. âOld people are arseholes.âÂ
âWeâve got to get âem back, girls,â Erin said, starting to get scared of the thought of any of her family having a funny scone.
âLook, Iâm not disagreeing with you. I bought that stuff so I could get high, not your great Uncle Colm.â
âOh Christ, I didnât even think about that,â Y/n muttered. Colm was already a character to begin with; him being high as balls would probably turn him either more boring or unmanageable. Y/n stood up and faced the girls. âHereâs the plan. Iâll head to the kitchen to grab whateverâs left. The rest of you go and find the ones that people have taken and pray that they havenât taken a bite yet.â
âAnd remember, girls,â Erin said, standing up with her sister. âBe subtle.â Everyone nodded and split up to do their tasks.
Y/n went to the kitchen and quietly crept to the swinging door. She took a quick look, saw that the few people inside were occupied with different things, and carefully walked in. She was surprised to see her father ranting about cross-contamination and using different bowls. Y/n wondered if he had been roped into helping in the kitchen, but whether he was forced or had volunteered, she smiled at the sight of his sudden passion.
Y/n spotted the scones, about half the amount from the last time she saw them, now plated on a serving platter. While reaching for the plate, the door opened behind her.
âNow listen here, you.â Y/n flinched and turned around quickly, recognizing the voice to be her granda Joe. But he wasnât looking at her. As usual, he directed his pointed look to Gerry, who looked at his father-in-law, both confused and annoyed.
âYes, Joe?â
âI just wanna sayâŚâ Joe trailed off, getting closer to Gerry and putting a hand on his shoulder. Gerry and Y/n looked at the old man in bewilderment when he laughed. âI think youâre doing a fine job.â Then he patted Gerryâs cheek before turning around and walking out of the kitchen. âKeep up the good work.â
Gerry and Y/n turned their shocked stares to each other once Joe was out of the room. The only thing that broke their eye contact was a timer going off, which somehow snapped Gerry back into his working mode. Using the opportunity of her dadâs distractedness, Y/n swiped the platter and walked out.
The girl soon realized that she and her friends never agreed on a place to meet after retrieving the scones. But not wanting anyone to see her wander around with a platter of scones, she snuck back upstairs, where she was surprised to see James slowly wandering the hallway.
âHey,â Y/n said with relief, glad it was him instead of a stranger. Or worse, her mother.
âHey.â He smiled at her, holding up a scone as he walked closer to her. âFound your uncle Colm with this.â He sat the scone on top of the others.
âThank God you got it before he took a bite.â Y/n laughed lightly, James joining in. âWere you just waiting for someone to come up?â
âYeah, I thought being up here would be better than wandering around where everyone else was.â
âSmart.â Y/n nodded once, looking around the empty hall. âWhat do you suppose we do about all of these?â
The two thought for a moment, racking their brains for an idea. James suddenly snapped his fingers.
âRemember when you snuck over to mine that one night, and we watched Goodfellas?â
âAye, Ray Liotta was a dream, wasnât he?â
âSure.â James rolled his eyes at the comment. âBut do you remember how Karen got rid of the drugs?â
Y/n took a quick second to think about whether or not she did, in fact, remember. The most memorable things of the night she snuck over to Jamesâ were Ray Liotta, the snacks James had snuck up to his room, and kissing each other to keep loud talking or laughs from gaining the attention of the rest of the household.
âYou think itâll work?â Y/n asked once she remembered what James was talking about. âI mean, these are scones.â
âWhat other options do we have?â James asked. And to be honest, Y/n couldnât think of any.
The sound of a knob turning startled the two teens. They scrambled to hide the stolen platter of scones behind them just before the bathroom door a bit down the hall opened up. A middle-aged woman that Y/n barely recognized walked out, and Y/n and James smiled politely at her as she passed.
Once she was down the stairs, James and Y/n ran to the bathroom, locking the door behind them.
âLetâs just wait for the others here,â Y/n said, balancing the platter on the sink so she wouldnât have to hold it any longer. âSo⌠what dâya wanna do?â
It took a few seconds of silence before Y/n and James rushed at each other, quickly becoming a mess of tangled limbs and clashing lips. The couple rarely had time alone for things like this, the heat of the moment always being ignored because of the fear of being caught. But with a locked door, a few minutes of making out couldnât do much harm.
Y/nâs hands buried themselves into Jamesâ curls, tugging at them as he backed her into the wall next to the door. A hand cupped the back of her neck while the other stayed gripped on her waist, keeping her in place. Not that sheâd want to leave.
Jamesâ lips strayed away from Y/nâs, leaving featherlight kisses across her cheek and jaw before settling on her neck. The hand on Y/nâs neck pulled back her hair, giving James the access he needed to nip and suck lightly at the sensitive skin just below Y/nâs ear.
âAre you marking me?â She asked, breath hitching. She wasnât opposing the matter, far from it, really. But she was a bit surprised to have this kind of behavior coming from James.
âJust a bit.â He replied breathlessly, kissing the slightly sore spot before returning to Y/nâs lips. âFor a bit of fun, yâknow?â Y/n giggled. She was lucky that she could probably hide the soon-to-be mark by keeping her hair down.
âSure, just a bit of fun.â She replied, pecking Jamesâ lips a few times.
The two were able to get themselves straightened out just before the rest of the girls found them. They closed the door behind them, and James caught them all up on the plan.
âI canât believe weâre doing this.â Michelle sighed as she and the rest of the group broke apart the scones and dropped the crumbled bits into the toilet. âItâs fuckinâ heartbreaking.â
âBelieve me, Michelle, itâs better this way,â Y/n said, grabbing another laced scone. âGrandaâs had one, and now heâs acting, like, really fuckinâ weird.â
âYouâre being paranoid.â
âHe was nice to Daddy.â The group made noises of shock and disbelief. âExactly. And if Mammy starts asking questionsâŚâ
âYouâre Ma wonât trace it back to us.â
âAre you serious?â Erin asked Michelle. âShe traces everything back to us. She traces things we havenât even done back to us!â
âAre you sure thisâll work?â Clare asked James.
âThis is how you get rid of drugs, Clare.â He said confidently, as if this wasnât the first time heâs had to do this. âIâve seen Goodfellas, like, twenty times.â
âAye, good movie,â Y/n commented as she brushed her hands on her jeans to get rid of the crumbs that stuck to her nervously sweaty palms.Â
âThatâs not the only way.â Orla countered. âI watched this film once about this girl who was tryinâ to hide drugs, and what she did was she shoved them right up herââ
âIâm not sticking a scone up my hole, Orla.â Michelle hissed. Orla shrugged, raising her hands in defense.
Once everyone was done breaking down the scones, Clare sighed, seeming as nervous and panicked as always.
âOkay, Iâm gonna flush.â She did so, and everyone watched as not much happened. âIs it working?â
ââCourse itâs working,â James said, still sure of his plan.
But then the water started to rise, and everyone started to panic.
âJesus Christ!â Erin yelped in a high-pitched voice. âWhy is the water rising, James?â
âI donât know! The water didnât rise in Goodfellas!â
âWeâve clogged it.â
âWho has a plunger?â Orla asked, seeming to be the most calm of the group.
âIâm afraid I left the house without me plunger tonight, Orla,â Erin replied, clearly sarcastic.Â
âAye, me too,â Orla replied seriously. âNightmare, so it is.â
The toilet started flooding faster, and the girls scrambled around in a panic. Scone water was beginning to spill onto the floor, and everyone had to stop themselves from gagging as they tried to find a way to clean it up. This situation couldnât possibly get any worse.
âDear GodâŚâ Everyone whipped around to see the adults of the Quinn and McCool families, plus Bridieâs son, Eamon. Erin laughed nervously, deciding to be the one to find an excuse.
âIt looks worse than it is.â Was all she said, which really wasnât much of an excuse.
âMy mother was right about you people,â Eamon said, horrified and angry. âWild animals have more manners.â
âWe didnât have a plunger, Eamon!â Orla shouted.
âGet out!â He yelled. âGet out!â
The teens did so gladly, running out of the bathroom and out of the house. They gathered on the front lawn, and they couldnât help but laugh at the absurdity of the evening. But they still feared what would happen when Mary walked out.
âThe night wasnât all that bad, I think,â James said quietly, only Y/n being able to hear him. She looked up at him curiously.
âHow so?â
Instead of speaking, he raised his hand to cup her neck, gently tapping where he had bruised her. She gasped, pushing his hand away before the two of them fell into laughter, not caring about the confused looks their friends gave them.
âIâll see you Monday, then?â He asked when they had calmed down a bit. Y/n caught a glimpse of her mother leaving the house before she answered.
âIf I live that long.â

Silver 8
Summary: Silver wouldn't stop touching you. When you're injured and recovering from another overblot, Silver breaks into your room.
(Alrighty, almost finished emptying out the inbox. Silver Silver Silver, what a treat of a person he is. I can only hope I did him justice in this yandere little thing.)
Silver started touching you.
You didn't mind, at least initially. He'd tap you on the shoulder or speak into your ear while lightly holding your shoulder because conversations between you two are often only for you two. But they were always brief. Short, short touches could easily be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
There was a weight to Silver's hands. He's not expressionless by any means, but he often takes his troubles and stuffs them as far from his mind as he can. He would smile in reassurance, and his hands would be death-gripping the sword at his side. When he would wake from another narcoleptic episode, he would smile as though basking in the beauty of the morning light, before gently tugging at your shirt as though you'll vanish into the wind.
His hands speak his worries, and he's been touching you more and more.
When you had gotten up from the bench to grab a snack from a nearby cart, Silver had the corner of your shirt pinched between his fingers. You didn't say anything beyond just tapping his hand to get him to let go. He did, and he apologized, so you figured that was that.
When you were sitting at a library table, reading away at your notes because you had a test next class, Silver sat besides you without word, hand landing right next to yours. You didn't mind, because this was something you both always did. It's nice to have company, and Silver was someone you liked being around. His arm twitched and suddenly the back of his hand was touching yours. You moved away, again, without a word.
He'd apologize with a tightness to his lips. You figured that would be the end of that.
But it just kept happening.
Light taps against your fingers when walking too close, grasps on your arm when you already have your attention on Silver, brushes against your shoulder when there's nothing there.
Many would say, "Silver is flirting, don't you get it?"
But every time he would do that, for just the briefest of moment, Silver would look like a scared animal, waiting for the inevitable to tear through everything he holds dear.
You figured if you ignored it long enough, if you swatted at him enough times, he'd get the message that he's pushing it.
But then you got injured, and all that weirdness festering in your brain went out the window. Plum forgot it, because overblot was a way more worrying event than whatever was going on with Silver. You didn't have anything broken, but you did have stitches and too many pulled muscles. So much so that the ghosts had to assist you in getting up the stairs.
People came over, giving you gifts and other things to help with the recovering process. Some even decided to stay in your dorm for a time. Ace and Deuce were the first to camp out here, but were also the first to leave, mostly because they sucked at healthcare and Riddle forced them out. Jack stayed a little longer, but you shooed him out when it was clear that your dorm was located in a spot that forced him to get up way earlier than he should be for the sake of his routine. Vil wouldn't allow Epel to stay here longer than a week, and Ortho had many other responsibilities that also didn't allow for him to stay.
And Sebek couldn't bear to stay away from Malleus's side, and so he sent Silver in his stead.
Silver stayed. He helped you around, gave you food when you needed it and when you didn't, reminded you of your medication and even collected your notes for you.
Really, it felt as though nothing had changed.
And then you woke up to fingers stroking your cheek, trailing right over the back of your neck.
You seized the empty glass cup on your nightstand and threw it behind you. It missed the frozen Silver and shattered against the wall.
There's that look again, that look of guilt and fear. He knows. Silver knows what he's doing.
"Get out," you growled out, because you're tired of his shit. Chance after chance and he just kept pushing.
"Wait," Silver's knees thudded against the floor, "wait please."
His voice was nothing more than a pleading whisper. You couldn't hear it, not after realizing that your locked door was missing the knob.
"You're fucking with me," because what else are you supposed to say to that?
You pushed yourself to the edge of the bed, almost about to fall off when Silver's hands and landed on the sheets, about to touch your thigh.
"Please, I promise I didn't mean any harm," Silver breathed out, eyes and voice full of tears, "I needed to see you, to see if you were okay."
You grabbed your lamp, yanked it out of it's socket, and bashed it against Silver's skull.
He fell, but was still conscious, murmuring a stream of apologizes as you slowly walked over to him. There wasn't any blood, and something about that only made you angrier.
You crouched with the help of your bed and yanked Silver up by the hair. He wince and grasped at your wrist, but didn't pull or fight. When his gaze connected with yours, tears finally fell over his cheeks.
"I'm sorry," he said, "I needed to feel if you were still real. That I wasn't living in a dream."
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
You're tired of them.
"If you're so sorry, then let me break something."
"Please, so long as I can still see you," Silver said past sobs, hands tenderly stroking your arm.
"Put your hands on the floor."
You'll be breaking those first.
