I’d actually like to add to this:
Stranger Things is a left leaning show at its core. It’s a show about the outcasts of society winning for once, it’s a show about the nerds, and freaks.
What genuinely pisses me off is those same people who claim to “love the show”, made fun of 2022 Eddie cosplayers at conventions, that girl who wrote the Eddie song, and basic fan behavior. Hate to break it to you, but you’re watching a show about NERDS! Hate to break it to you, the core four dressed up as ghostbusters to school, all that is FAN BEHAVIOR. Nerd behavior, the same behavior you’re making fun of.
I also don’t understand people who are heavy republican who watch this show. I’m just convinced they have no media literacy whatsoever, because this whole show is making fun of you. When Ted says “the government is on our side” or “we’re all patriots in this house” how are you guys not getting it? The subtext is clear as day, and do not hit me with that shit “keep politics out of fandom!” Guess what, the damn show you claim to love so much brings it up for you. Hate to ruin your day, but art has been political and always will be.
Last thing, how the fuck can you be sexist and homophobic and watch Stranger Things? I’m bringing this up specifically because I had just recently rewatched season 4 with my family, and my dad was making constant remarks about how he thinks Stranger Things is shoving a “feminist agenda” down his throat. I asked him to elaborate, he told me that Nancy Wheelers job isn’t to hold a gun, because her and Steve should be swapping places, Nancy should be with the kids to teach her how to be a mom, and Steve should be the “protector”. First of all, did we watch the same fucking show? Seriously, and side note: Steve is a BADASS! And I could go on and on about their character development and how Steve’s aspirations differ from Nancy’s but we all know these people won’t listen. Stranger Things is a show that constantly challenges societal expectations, and shatters traditional ideas of gender. They did this with Max being a love interest, she’s “tomboyish” and not stereotypically feminine. Nancy doesn’t desire a life of being a stay at home mom and having kids, she desires being a top reporter at the big city, going to college. In the beginning of season 3, I was completely convinced Robin and Steve were going to get together, but by a pleasant surprise, Robin is a lesbian. Steve and Robin form a beautiful platonic friendship, may I even say, they’re platonic soulmates.
How can you watch stranger things, a show about the supernatural, a show about an alternate dimension, and a girl with fucking superpowers and tell me that it’s unrealistic for Nancy to hold a gun because she’s a women? How can you watch a show where a boy gets possessed by a being from another dimension and tell me it’s unrealistic for two childhood friends (who just happen to be two boys) won’t get together “because that would be gay”?
And don’t hit me with that shit “we need media literacy class!” WE HAVE 9th GRADE ENGLISH CLASS! Are you serious? It’s not media literacy, it’s media comprehension. Some people can’t admit that shows aren’t made for them. If you think like Jason, s1 Steve, or s2 Billy, THIS SHOW ISN’T MADE FOR YOU! Media literacy isn’t just reading words on a paper, or understanding the words of dialog on a surface level. It involves nuance, it involves understanding the underlying meaning, it involves understanding the themes of the content you’re consuming.
I know I came off much more aggressive than I typically do. I hope I came across is a way that’s understandable. I’m just really passionate about this show and what it means to me. Watching Stranger Things for the first time the summer before middle school, I was 9-10 years old. And I fell in love with the show, I grew up bullied just like the main characters. I grew up getting bullied for my race and my nerdy interests. I’m autistic, so I was an easy target. It just really upsets me seeing the same people who bullied me claim to love this show, because clearly you didn’t watch it. Thanks for reading, I’ll go back to my usual lighthearted posts now.
saw a TikTok comment that I think deserves to be shared

I love you all immensely. Take care. 💖
You never expected it to be like this.
It’s still surreal to you. The frigid halls, the concrete walls, and the bulletproof barrier between you and your own brother. Despite all those troubled years, of him being lost, you just never could think he’d end up here.
On the other side of a window; where you can’t hug him, you can’t hold his hand, you can’t even poke him for being the annoying the little brother. You can only stare at him and grieve. You try not to show it. You try to be strong for him. Maybe it’s a lesson.
You wait for the guards to bring him as you sit in the stiff chair. As you think past to the days when you and Vaughn were just kids, when his antics were harmless, it’s all so distorted. Like a dream. Like it never was.
You remember pushing him in the swing at the park, laughing with him about jumping in puddles, but then there are the other scenes stuck on replay. The boys teasing him until he hit them. Until he held them down and filled their mouths with rocks. He wasn’t violent then, not in your mind, he was just protecting himself. Now you see, that was only the beginning of a twisted road.
The door on the other side opens and closes. You look up and lean in, trying to see around the walls of the booth. Other inmates sit along the row, facing their own loved ones, soaking up those few minutes they can.
Vaughn is shoved into the seat across from you. The guard hooks the chain of his coughs to the desk and pats his shoulder with an unheard warning. You sit up and grab the receiver. He does the same, reluctantly. He won’t look you in the eye. He hardly can as his left one is swollen shut, his nose is split at the bridge, and he wears a stiff neck brace.
“What happened to you?” You gasp.
He pokes his tongue into his cheek. He hovers the phone away from his battered face. His tattooed knuckles clench. You repeat your question.
“A fight.” He shrugs and wince.
“A fight? You didn’t think to tell me when I called? How—the guards--”
“The guards don’t give a shit,” he hisses. “Just the way it is.”
“Why--”
“I did what I had to. Some guys in here are just looking for it.”
“Vaughn, look at me,” you demand and lean forward.
He closes his eyes and takes a breath. He opens them and meets your gaze. Shame twitches in his cheek. You’re the only person who calls him anything but V. He sighs.
“I was being stupid. I ran my mouth and... shit, I woulda been killed if it was for this other guy down in Block D. Saved my neck,” he gulps. “Really, he did.”
You frown and rub your forehead, “he saved you? Didn’t think there’d be much of that in there.”
“Huh?”
“Like you said, the way it is. Why would someone help?”
His eyes dart away. For all his sneakiness, he’s never been able to lie to you. Still, he can’t admit it.
“Who was it?” You ask.
“Who? Why? You got friends in here?” He snorts.
“Well, you won’t tell me why they helped, so I don’t know, Vaughn, give me something.”
He rolls his eyes; at least, the one you can see. “Okay, okay. He’s got pull in here. He’s... been here a while. Kinda the big dog.” He sniffs and lowers his voice, “he’s got a lot of friends.”
“You mean he’s in a gang?”
“If that’s what you wanna call it,” he scoffs.
“What would you call it? I’m not stupid. Someone like that doesn’t do you a favour out of the goodness of their heart, so what’s the catch? Tell me.”
“Sis, you don’t get it. You don’t survive in here unless you got someone to watch your back.”
You drag your hand over your head and sit back, “I know. It’s-- it’s just that sounds dangerous. Vaughn, you said you were going to learn from this.”
“He’s not the worst,” he says. “The guy, he’s got a code. He keeps people busy so they’re not hanging around sharpening shivs. It is what it is, but it’s better than the alternative.”
“Still punching each other in the face. Beating each other senseless,” you accuse.
“Look, it could’ve been worse. You should’ve seen the other guy. And the one who helped me, everyone is afraid of him. I got him in my corner. You want me to make it out, that’s how.” Vaugh shifts and touches the neck brace. “And sure as shit I’m not gonna turn around and spit in his face. I owe him my life.”
You think. He's right, you don’t know anything about being inside. And you don’t have any other suggestions. At least he has someone looking for him when you can’t. They might even be able to protect him from his own worst enemy; himself.
Still, new allies mean new enemies. At least, going by the TV shows. You doubt those are accurate. What can you do but let him figure it out. Pray that he does.
“Tell me who.”
“What?” He snips.
“Just tell me?”
“Why?”
“I don’t know. I’m curious. What else are we gonna talk about?” You say.
“Yeah, guess you wouldn’t wanna hear about my cell mate’s shits,” he snickers. “Guys name is Rogers, Steve. Don’t know what got him in here but he can hold his own. He’s like a walking Ken doll. Maybe a bit forgotten but, put together.”
“Ah, you interested?” You wonder.
“He’s not my type. You know I’m picky.” He smirks then chuckles only to wince in pain. “Stop making me laugh.”
“Well, I hate to put an even bigger smile on your ugly face but I did add credit to your commissary. Phone time too. You gotta call mom.” You try to roll the tension from your shoulders, “I won’t tell her about the fight but you promise to call. She’s on my ass.”
“Thanks,” he deflates, “I... I didn’t mean to hurt her. Or you. Ya know?”
“I know, Vaughn. There’s time,” you assure him.
The rest of your thirty minutes is spent trying not to fixate on his bruises. It makes you sick to think about what happened; to imagine him being beat like that. You have no illusions about prison, you’re terrified, and you don’t deny it’s his own fault he’s there. None of that can change that he’s still your baby brother.
When it’s time, you don’t want to go. The unhook his cuffs from the loop and force him up. You watch him go before you leave, escorted by a guard into the hall.
You stop by the desk to schedule another visit. You tap the pen on the form as you think. You look up at the uniformed receptionist.
“Can I get another form?” You ask. It’s a bad idea.
“Sure,” she’s unfazed by the request and slides another form through the slot. You write in the time and date then pause as you try to remember the name; Steve Rogers. You don’t know his number but hopefully that doesn’t matter.
You sign and submit both forms under the window. The guard takes them and reviews them with a quick skim of her eyes.
“Rogers?” She reads aloud.
“Yeah? Is that a problem?” You wonder.
“Not my call. Needs to be approved. Even then, the inmate needs to agree,” she puts the forms next to the keyboard and types.
“Oh, well... I guess I’ll wait and see.”
“Not saying anything,” she drones. “It’s just... he doesn’t get visitors.”
“How long has he been here?” You ask.
“Can’t disclose that,” she rebuffs. “But maybe he’ll agree, just for a change in the days. Board’s the real problem.”
“Well, thanks. I appreciate the help,” you put the pen down. “Have a good day.”
“You too, miss.” She responds without looking away from her screen.
You turn and drag your feet toward the doors. You kind of hope it’s denied. You’re too embarrassed to go and ask her to just shred the form after all.
⛓️💥
The prison calls to confirm both visitations, not so much to your content. The more you think about it, the worse the idea seems. The man is not only a stranger, he’s a convict and a criminal. You don’t even know what he did.
And what are you going to say? Your whole intent is to thank him but now you think he might just laugh in your face. What if you make it worse?
And you can’t not go now. If he showed up and you didn’t. If he ever finds out it has something to do with your brother, you may have just put him in danger. Oh, why don’t you think things through? Maybe you’re more like Vaughn than you care to admit.
You drive to the facility. You check in with the guard, they do their usual search, then take you into the visitors’ bay. Your brother looks better than the last time you saw him. In better spirits too. No trouble to report, at least none he will admit.
Your half-hour goes to fast. You remind him to call your mom, your mind wandering to your next thirty minutes. The guard tells you to stay as they take Vaughn away. You do. For fifteen whole minutes before the door signals another arrival.
The guards lead the inmate to your booth. You look up at him shyly. He’s tall, thick arms, broad chest, muscled bound shoulders. The jumpsuit clings to him tightly as if they can’t get one to fit properly. His blonde hair is made paler by streaks of silver. His blues eyes are edged with crows feet and his already handsome face defined with the lines of his age.
He’s older than you expect but no less intimidating. He sits, his posture unwavering, and he stares at you blankly. They hook his cuffs to the desk and leave you. There’s only expectation in his expression. He is not the one who starts conversations.
Vaughn’s right. He doesn’t look like the typical inmate.
You wait but he doesn’t move. You grab the receive and put it to your ear. You chew your lip as he tilts his head. He slowly reaches to pick up the one on his side.
You gulp but can’t find your voice. You stare at him helplessly. You eke out, “hi.”
His cheek dimples, “wasn’t expecting you. Mostly ‘cause I don’t know you.”
“Um, uh,” you sniff and shake your head. You fidget with the cord.
“Take a breath, sweetheart.”
“Sweetheart?” You echo.
“Well, you got a name?”
You clear your throat and give your name. It steadies you, just enough.
“You saved my brother. Vaughn.”
He scoffs, “you’re that ugly bastard’s sister? Why on earth are you bugging me?”
“I just... he told me what happened. I wanted to thank you for saving his life.”
“Saving his—Is that what I did. Well, rest assured, I didn’t do it for his sake. I did it because I can use him,” he leans forward on his elbows, crossing his arms. He keeps the receiver between his shoulder and ear.
“He’s still alive because of you,” you argue. His constant stare makes you squirm.
“He’s alive as long as his mouth isn’t aimed at me. Let me make it clear, I hold not kinship for your brother. In fact, I was five seconds away from smashing his teeth in myself so your visit is entirely unwarranted and unnecessary.”
You’re taken aback. Not just by his statement, but by his language. He’s eloquent.
“I... so why did you show up?”
“Curiosity. Boredom,” he shrugs and sits up as he grabs the phone with his hands. “Not much to do in here, in case that isn’t obvious.”
“Well, glad I could entertain you,” you adjust the receiver then slowly move it away from your ear.
“Hey,” his suddenness catches you. You keep the phone hovered an inch away. “Where are you going?”
You arch your brows, “you said it yourself, this is pointless.”
“You got time left. Might as well use it,” he counters.
“I’m not going to sit here and be mocked, Mr.--”
"Steve,” he chuckles, the first time his expression cracks. “Or you can use my inmate number,” he points to the digits across the left side of his chest. “You wanted this and I didn’t let them drag me here for a measly five minutes.”
“I don’t have anything else to say to you,” you tilt the receiver away and he shows his palm, a gesture to stop you. You pause and put the speaker back to your ear.
“We’ll figure that out along the way.”
“Why?”
“Sweetheart,” he pauses then says your name, “fine. Can I be honest with you? I’d like to talk to someone who doesn’t piss five inches from my bunk, anyone who isn’t trying to get something from me, who isn’t trying to stab me in the back. I thought you were a reporter, I was gonna say no. I didn’t so please, let’s keep talking.” He takes a breath and lets it out through his nose. “Let’s just have a human conversation.”
You tweak your lips and think. You did drag him here. He stares back, placid. You’re not sure why you stay but you do. You settle in with the receiver.
“So, where do we begin?” You ask.
“Why don’t you? There’s not much going on in here. Not anything you’d wanna hear about.”
“Um, okay, I don’t know...”
“You look like a teacher? Or librarian?” He ventures.
You squint at him. You’re not sure if it’s an insult. “Admin. For a clinic.”
“A secretary. Close enough. You like your job?” He runs his fingers over the desk.
You shake your head, “does anyone?”
“I guess not. Why don’t you like it?” He waits. You have no answer. It’s still awkward. “Come on. It’s the same thing in here every day. Humour me.”
You exhale, “alright.”
What’s the worst he can do? Laugh about the office drama? You think it’s just as silly. And you are the one who started all this. It'll be a unique experience you hope you never have to think about again.

DP + DC Danny/Dick P3
Part three of this, which you should read first if you want it to make sense. Anyway it's here! I finally did it, this is the proposal and jazz's explanation in one.
---
Jazz stumbles through the portal and is met with three pairs of blue eyes, and Ellie and Cujo's green ones. "Whoa you all look just like Dick," she comments aloud looking them over. she thinks over what Dick has said about his siblings.
Jason is nerdy, and a cute brother, gets so angry sometimes. Tim is feral, and refuses emotional attachment but is cute. Damian is the youngest, loves animals and art.
But who is who? Damian is the short one hugging Cujo that much is obvious. The boy looking over the old books, who's short and skinny, that's probably Jason, fits the nerdy, and he does look angry. Which means Tim is the taller one, with a calm face, and who looks like he's debating whether he should leave.
"So, Jason, Tim and Damian, why exactly are you here?" she asks primly.
"Did she just call me-" the one she thinks is Tim starts.
"She did! Holy shit, Jay she thinks you're me!" the boy who she thought was Jason cackles. "Dude that's gotta be so upsetting," he giggles.
"You got mistaken too," the real Jason grumbles.
"Yeah for a brick wall, you got mistaken for a nerdy twig!" Tim laughs in his face joyfully.
"Regardless we kinda need answers no?" Jason asks and Tim regains his composure in a second, it's almost scary the way his expression is suddenly blank.
'Yes, first of all how long have they known each other?" Tim asks glaring at her. "And why did they decide to keep it a secret?"
"Five years? maybe longer," Jazz answers, "From what I understood Dick had a rough patch with his ya'll and then just didn't want to tell you?" Jazz shrugs. "They've only been dating for two years though."
"Okay, where did they meet?" Tim asks.
"A library somewhere?" Jazz sighs.
The questions continue, details, ideas, so many questions. They interrogate her fro at least and hour before they pause. "Look um sorry? We just didn't think he'd you know hide it, so we thought it was like a prank, or abusive thing, but I guess not.." Jason sounds so resigned, he looks kinda cute embarrassed Jazz thinks.
"It's fine," Jazz waves it of, "I'd do the same thing for Danny, or Ellie, or Dan really," she stands up gently. "Anyone want tea?"
"Yes please," Damian answers still scratching Cujo's ears. The other bats reply with polite no's.
"Anyway," she says offering Damian his cup, "You'll fit right in, besides I need to catch you up, you won't believe the amount of blackmail photos I have on the two," She grins at them.
"Me too! And Dan!" Ellie adds, we drew mustaches on them!" she declares proudly looking at Jazz with a smug expression.
'Yeah, wanna see?" she offers, the bats exchange glances.
"Gods yes!" Jason agrees. After that the night dissolves into laughter as they see the embarrassing photos of their siblings.
---The Proposal
Danny was nervous, he'd been planning this out for ages. It wasn’t particularly fancy, he knew Dick wouldn’t like that. But he’d found a place to eat at a ski lodge, Dick loved heights and Danny knew he’d get a kick out of being so high up. It was summer too so there wouldn’t be people. he’d also rented a cabin up there, so they could spend the night alone.
He’d gotten a set of rings too, one with a small 3 carat diamond, and then another with little sapphires studding the edges. And then for when he was nightwing Danny made sure they could turn into tattoos or intangible.
he tried to drive carefully, but that he meant near the speed limit. Dick was apologizing, like he cared that his family had seen him. “I don’t care birdy!” He interrupts cutting right rapidly. “Really you wanted me there of course I’d come!” He smiles at him. Dick still looks guilty but is blushing.
“I know, but I mean I kinda just exposed our relationship, you know?” He mumbles.
“Darling it’s your family, I couldn’t care less how I meet them,” Danny chirps. “Anyhow I planned something so I was wondering…” he pauses sheepishly. “Um would ya wear a blindfold Birdy?”
“For you anything!” Dick grins at him. Danny blushes.
“Great!” Danny smiles back at him. “You sure though? I mean I thought you might have bad associations and I didn’t want to make you feel unsafe,” Danny fidgets as they wait for the light to turn red.
“Sweetheart I could never feel unsafe near you,” Dick soothes him.
“Well then I guess that problems solves?” Danny grins at him, ignoring his fluttering heart.
When they get out of the car Danny wraps the blindfold with little birds on it around Dicks head. “Birds really Danny?” He asks fondly.
“oh but of course birdy,” Danny laughs, “you good though?” He asks concerned.
“I’m fine Danny,” Dicn assures him, “I mean unless you took the blindfold of, in that case I can see!”
“Nah it’s still on love,” Danny giggles.
They reach the top quickly, and Danny maneuvers Duck into the lodge. The air smells like food, and the place is decorated with dozens of little wooden birds.
The table is set fancily. “Sit down sweetheart,” he pulls the chair out. “Dick sits down carefully.
“Thank you love,” Dick grins at him with a sappy smile. “Now can I take the blindfold off?”
“Yeah,” Danny replies, and dick unties it behind his head. It slips down, and Danny smiles at him.
“Oh this is gorgeous,” he laughs starting out the window. “Thank you Danny! I’m sorry I didn’t plan something, next year?”
“It doesn’t matter Birdy, anyhow you hungry?” Danny gives him a sappy smile.
“Yeah,” Dick agrees. And Danny practically swoons when he smiles.
“Great,” he blushes. Soon food is brought out, a mix of traditional Romani dishes and Dicks other favorite dishes. when he see the assortment he looks at Danny like he’d hung the stars in the sky.
After the meal they head outside marveling at the stars, and the view. Danny feels akward getting down on one knee as he pulls out the box, he doesn’t think he’s done something more nerve wracking. “Birdy?” He asks and Dick looks at him. “Will you marry me?”
“YES! Dick practically shouts hugging Danny, “I- I can’t believe- that you want to marry me? But yes, a thousand times yes!” He hugs him tighter like trying to squeeze the life out of him. Danny blushes, and tries to hide it.
“Uh yeah,” Danny mumbles, still grinning like an idiot. “Wanna see the ring?”
“Oh uh, yeah?” Dick smiles, and they both laugh.
“Gods we’re like a pair of teens! ” Danny smirks “that was damn awkward. Also why wouldn’t I want to marry you Birdy? I love you!”
“yeah” Dick shrugs “I love you two,” he kisses Danny and Danny kisses him back with everything he has.
---
yay! Finally I did it! fluff is hard to write when you brain is like semi depressed. Also idk what kissing is like when it’s a serious relationship so yeah.. also think I’m gonna do another part when I have time because this is fun! also totally didn't edit this so...
and the people who wanted to be tagged: @georgiefreddie0829 @eldritchgrey wierd-duck678, @dasha022 and @itsbushytailedfox

“Weight of the World”
Characters: Husband!Rio x Black!Reader.
Summary: A restless night brings old fears to the surface, but Rio won’t let you face them alone.
Warnings: Mentions of past emotional trauma, self-doubt, and nightmares; themes of vulnerability and reassurance; soft but firm Rio.
A/N: My babies I finally got a sprinkle of inspo. and wrote a little somethin’. I've been super stressed lately and channeled that into this lil fic. Hopefully I still got it like that and y’all enjoy it🫶🏾. Also had a little Atwater inspiration so be on the lookout for that as well.
Word Count: 900+.
“One minute, I’m sleeping good, rolling over to reposition, and grab a handful ass. Only to wind up gripping some damn sheets. What you doin’, mama?”
Your eyes remain focused on a steaming hot mug of tea as you release a sigh.
“Mama,” Rio rasps, swaggering toward you. His knuckles feather your jaw, before slipping under your chin. He angles your head toward him, forcing your eyes to lock. “You had another nightmare, didn't you?”
You tug away, focusing your vision elsewhere.
“Hey, mm-mm. Look at me.”
Out of habit, you submit and exhale, “It’s fine, Rio. I just want to stay up long enough that it won't resume once my eyes shut. Go back to sleep, papa.”
“When did I become a fuck boy?”
You look at him incredulously. Your eyes narrow to slits as you rear back offensively. “What are you on about? Who said you were a fuck boy?”
“You expect me to just leave you down here to get at your demons alone? If so, then that's what you must take me for.”
“Christopher, that's not at all what I'm trying to say. You got shit to do in the morning-.”
“And you don't? Being a mom ain't a full-time job, sweetheart?”
“For the love of all things holy! Why are we going back and forth over a damn nightmare?”
“Cause I done told your ass to stop suffering through shit alone. Look, I'm not trying to argue. Could you just stop trying to take on everything by yourself? You exhaust all avenues before asking for help. I'm not with that shit, darlin’. You stay on my ass about opening up. Give me the same courtesy.”
If it's one thing your husband knows how to do. It's checking and setting you straight.
Abandoning your coffee mug, you cross your arms, staring down at your lap. The silence stretches for a few moments. “I’m sorry,” you whisper. “I just don't want to be a burden.”
Rio sucks in a breath, giving his head a firm shake. He takes a seat next to you on the couch. “How we feeling right now? Do you want space? Of course when I say space— I'm referring to the other end of the couch,” he says with a straight face. “Can I touch you?”
You sniffle, wiping at the tear that skates down your cheek. “Of course, you can touch me. Thank you for asking though. Consent is sexy,” you joke trying to lighten the mood.
Rio responds with a lopsided grin, “There’s my girl. Come here, baby,” he rasps, pulling you into his lap. Your head tucks into his neck out of habit as he rocks you.
“I don't know how many times I’m going to have to tell you this, love. I'll say it until I'm blue in the face. You have never been, nor will you ever be a burden. I'm not upset that you keep thinking this way. Your brain is just being mean to you. That's how you were raised, and what you've been told from the ones who were supposed to love and protect you most.”
Rio’s lips ghost over your forehead, stopping to pepper kisses across your hairline.
“Not only did they break you down, but they had you believing you weren't worthy of love. Which led you to search for it in people who knew and took advantage of that. They broke what little trust you had left in the world.
Rio’s fingers slide up and down your spine in slow, soothing strokes, his warmth seeping into you. “But that shit stops here, mama. You hear me?” His voice drops lower, a raw edge scraping against the tenderness of his words. “You ain’t gotta search no more. You ain’t gotta prove shit to me. You already got me.”
Your breath hitches, and you burrow deeper into his lap and chest. “I know,” you murmur, voice small.
“Nah, I don’t think you do,” he counters softly, his fingers tilting your chin up again so you can’t look away. “If you did, you wouldn’t be sittin’ here feelin’ like you gotta carry the weight alone.”
You blink up at him, feeling exposed in a way that makes your throat tighten. But Rio doesn’t push. He just waits, patient in a way only he can be with you. And when the words finally slip past your lips, they’re barely above a whisper. “It’s just… sometimes I feel like if I don’t handle it myself, then I don’t deserve help. Like I gotta earn it.”
Rio exhales sharply, his grip tightening around you like he’s trying to physically hold together the pieces of you that someone else shattered. “That’s bullshit,” he says plainly, his forehead pressing against yours. “Love ain’t about earning, baby. It’s about givin’ and takin’—without keepin’ score.”
A fresh wave of emotion crashes into you, but before it can pull you under, Rio’s hands are there, grounding you. He tugs you in closer, his lips finding your temple. “Let me love you the way you deserve, yeah?” he murmurs against your skin.
You nod, eyes squeezing shut. “Okay,” you whisper.
He pulls back just enough to search your face, thumb swiping away the dampness on your cheek. “Okay,” he echoes, pressing one last kiss to your forehead. “Now, you wanna sit here for a bit? Or you comin’ back to bed with me?”
You sniffle, nuzzling into his chest. “Bed,” you admit.
“That’s what I thought,” he says smugly, standing up with you still wrapped around him. “See? Gettin’ better already.”
You huff a small laugh against his throat. “You always gotta have the last word, huh?”
“Always,” he confirms, carrying you back upstairs like it’s the easiest thing in the world.
I know this was random as hell, but I just wanted to write some fluffy Rio cuddles😩😍. Reblogs and comments are greatly appreciated.

Okay in all seriousness. There's something that I REALLY want to talk about as an open discussion with the fandom, but. This is not going to be a very nice thing to hear/talk about.
It's about how Gonta is treated by the fandom.
As a fan of all the V3 characters now, and as someone who has always been a fan of Gonta, and as someone who has many mental disabilities and two diagnosed neurodivergancies... I'm tired of playing nice about it.
You all need to stop being ableist towards Gonta.
I've mentioned in the past that I don't like shitting on personal interpretations. I don't like saying something is or is not canon because narration is just a big web of text that you try to decipher with your own personal biases, experiences, and thoughts. That's why two literary analysts analyzing the same text with the same literary criticism rules can come to wildly different conclusions--why people develop different headcanons from the same canonical information.
But one of the things that challenged my integrity is just how many people view Gonta as this innocent, naive, ignorant, baby boy who can do no harm/never has a complicated/dirty/violent/sexual thought in his life ever.
This incredibly ableist interpretation of the character bothered me for, well, obvious reasons (See: It's fucking ableist, need I say more?) but I never challenged it as harshly as I am now because to be frank, it's not my place to tell people how to HC a character. It still isn't. But I've pretty much given up on my integrity on the subject and have decided to go all in on discussing why this interpretation of Gonta is just. Really bad.
First of all, not to promote my own analyses here or anything, but I think this analysis I did of Gonta explains a LOT in regards to the ableism the cast gives him in canon. I also think that this subtle ableism is why the fandom is so bad with Gonta's characterization in headcanons and fanfic--because they've seen how the cast treats him, and they think it's normal. They don't see the microaggressions, they don't see the subtle ableism in the cast--they just see this big giant idiot who speaks like Tarzan in the English version (which... I don't actually know why people assume Tarzan (Thinking of Disney's version) is stupid. Like as a boy he had to reinvent the spear with no one to guide him on how to do it. He was able to strategize and outsmart "civilized" men in the final showdown. Still I digress) and don't see the literal genius behind his social awkwardness.
There is also another very important point I'm going to make in addition to this, and it's going to be very uncomfortable to Gonta fans who insist he's nothing but a sweet baby who only has pure thoughts. Especially to the fans who insist he "can't be sexual" or think it's weird to ship him with his peers.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but... Gonta blatantly has sexual desire and gets horny right in canon.
This is further clarified here:
It wasn't a matter of Gonta didn't want to touch her because touching someone in their underwear was inappropriate, or being flustered because she was in her underwear which is inappropriate...
It was literally a "weird feeling" that made him unable to approach her or touch her. A "weird feeling" that Miu makes pretty obvious as to what it was--sexual arousal.
He literally was sexually attracted to and felt sexual arousal from looking at Miu in her underwear. He had sexual feelings and thoughts about Miu. Why?
Because Gonta is a young man.
Gonta is a brilliant, talented young man who has normal human thoughts for someone his age--sexual desires, upsetting thoughts, complicated thoughts, ectect. He is not a child, he is not mentally stunted (I've been informed that people have literally said this on Ao3 for the NSFW Gonta fics, please for the love of god stop that)
I think the reason why Gonta fans typically want to keep him as a "pure baby child who can do no wrong" is because treating him like the young adult that he is makes it harder for them to justify Chapter 4. Every time I've seen a Gonta fan that hates Kokichi, it's always followed by the sentiment of "Kokichi manipulated and abused Gonta into killing Miu, so it's all Kokichi's fault." They're afraid of nuance and liking a character with the grey morality of genuinely thinking Mercy Killing the cast is a viable option, because it challenges their own morals about the character they adore.
To those people who read this and are upset: You can and should like Gonta! Gonta is a magnificent character who showcases the subtle way microaggressions can manifest and hurt people, he's a good-hearted person and a literal genius, he cares deeply for his friends and loves everyone with upmost sincerity.
But.
You need to re-evaluate your stance on Gonta if you think he's a stupid, naive fool who Kokichi manipulated. You need to re-evaluate why you think those thoughts, why you think Gonta being shipped with anyone is "Kinda weird" or "has weird consent problems" or "give you the ick." You have to challenge yourself and ask yourself uncomfortable questions in regards to why you treat Gonta like a child when canon has proven otherwise, why you think he cannot have violent or sexual thoughts, why he can't think mercy killing his class is the only way to save them.
This isn't an attack on you--but understand that these specific takes on Gonta? They are ableist in nature. They belittle and dismiss him, they treat him like a child, an idiot who can't think for himself--and you have to come to terms with the fact that Gonta is a far more complex character with complicated thoughts and feelings who is a young adult. Not a child. A young adult.
So again, ask yourself this: Why are you treating this young adult like he's a toddler?
#Gonta Gokuhara#Miu Iruma#Kokichi Ouma#Danganronpa V3#DRV3#As an AuADHD individual who thinks Gonta is Autistic coded#do you understand how frustrating it is to see this shit#Do you understand how it feels to be infantized? To be told through the lens of a character “You're too stupid to be an adult”?#Worse yet is that I'm also constantly told that me being short and baby faced makes me “child coded.”#Do you understand how ableist this all is. Do you Understand?#Anyway that's one post down. Gonna go read a thing for Star#This does genuinely upset me though as an AuADHDer#Please stop. I am speaking on behalf of people like me--/Please fucking stop./#Tag Edit: Yes this is safe to RB and spread around#Please do RB this in fact

he'd loooove that - sal fisher x tough f!reader
a/n: for lack of better words when i say tough i mean like …. you defend him from bullying and kind of skip class idk. also we’re pretending ash wasn’t there when travis was harassing sal ok? ok.
this fic includes: fem reader, second person pov, bullying, skipping 10 minutes of class, use of the term “holy roller,” Travis being rude to you (i.e. b word, telling you to fuck off), cussing, vague threats of violence, Larry teasing Sal cause he likes you. read at your own risk yadda yadda yadda
You ignore your teacher’s command for you to return quickly from the bathroom as you walk down the dingy hallway. Of course, you didn’t plan to return to class at all, much less return quickly. Who cares about what happened 100 odd years ago? Whatever.
You continue down the hallway, wondering where you should spend the next 10 minutes before lunch starts, when you see two familiar looking boys down the hall. The one furthest away, Travis, the preacher’s son who gives anyone who isn’t a total holy roller shit, was clearly insulting the one closer to you.
Sal.
The thing about Sal is that the only thing you share is a math class. You don’t share a social circle, or sit at the same lunch table, or even talk outside of that math class. However, this didn’t stop you from noticing that he was very attractive. The electric blue hair, mask, and his unique style was oddly alluring.
As your feet keep moving closer to the two boys, you hear some of what travis is saying.
“Nobody likes a goody-two-shoes, Saaaally Face.”
Without missing a beat, Sal responds.
“Nobody likes a cliché bully, Traaaaavis.”
His appearance aside, Sal’s wit and demeanor was another reason you’d fallen for him. Every time you talked, Sal made you laugh in some way. He’s so funny and nice to talk to, and it outrages you to see someone like Travis being so disrespectful to him.
Before he could say another word, upon closing the distance between you and the boys, you butt in.
“Do you have a problem?” You say, staring Travis in the face and fighting the urge to sneak a glance at Sal.
“This is none of your business, bitch.”
“Don’t call me a bitch. And definitely don’t give Sal any attitude. Don’t you have a class to go to?”
Of course, this made Travis even more upset. Turning fully to you and taking a few steps forward, he raises his voice and exclaims “Go fuck yourself! I’ll do whatever I want.”
Your anger rises with his refusal. Without batting an eye, you decide that you number one, need to get Travis out of here, and number two, need to take this as an opportunity to win Sal over. You take a step forward so that you’re almost toe-to-toe with Travis.
“No the fuck you won’t. Not on my watch. I need you to turn your holy blonde ass around and go back to class before I show you what happens when snotty little pricks like you can’t keep their nasty attitude in their mouths,” you say, jerking closer to Travis with every insult. You pause for a moment, hoping you wouldn’t get the shit beat out of you.
Travis grits his teeth, calls you some very colorful names, and walks off.
Relief floods you as you take your first look at Sal. Shock floods you as you see he was already looking.
“Thank you,” Sal says.
“You’re welcome,” you respond.
“You really didn’t have to do that. I’m tough, I promise.”
“I know, but I can’t stand to see people like Travis being assholes for no reason.”
“I get that. Thank you for standing up for me. Really.”
If you didn’t know any better, you would say that the exposed tips of Sal’s ears looked rather pink.
Before you can respond, the bell rings and Sal’s close friend Larry came running up to him.
“I heard yelling, is-… Oh! Hey, man…”
Larry trailed off when he noticed you. Suddenly, he was staring at you and it made you feel the need to explain yourself.
“I… Just so happened to be walking past and I saw Travis giving Sal shit-“ When you said Sal’s name, Larry looked at Sal and smiled, as if surprised you knew his name, “- So I stepped in, I guess. He’s gone, but I’m sorry for getting all up in your business.”
Larry, after staring at Sal with a less than necessary smirk, responded “No problem, dude. Listen, if you ever want to defend Sal again, I’m sure he’d loooove tha-“ Sal interrupts Larry with a swift elbow in the ribs. He gets the point and stops.
“Thanks. Enjoy your lunch,” Sal says, and Larry follows him as he walks away.
You pretend not to watch them walk down the hall, seeing Larry punch Sal in the arm encouragingly and yell something about protective girls.

Chapter Four
“What the hell?” Amelia hisses while practically slamming down her lunch tray. You looked up at her with feigned ignorance, your eyes cool as you took both her and Janet in. You’d once again attempted sitting at your new lunch table, the same dorky couple sharing it with you, amongst a few of their friends. Although the group briefly eyed you, they’d been ignoring you for the past few minutes. That is, until your friends showed up.
“What?” You asked before turning your attention back to your food.
“You know what.” Amelia insisted, staying on her feet with an irate look. You were shocked she even dared to come out here in no man’s land to talk to you for a second time. Janet, submissive as ever, stayed back, looking between you both with worried eyes, “Did you hit your head or something? Why are you suddenly so interested in Munson?”
Annoyance jaded your features. You settle your glaring eyes on Amelia, your voice just as accusatory as hers, “Why does it matter?”
She scoffed as if it was the most obvious thing in the word, “Because he’s a loser. What’s everyone gonna think if they keep seeing you two together? You already made a scene this morning, they’re already talking.”
You shrugged, far too nonchalantly for Amelia’s taste, as you spoke around a bite of food, which was actually your way of hiding the glee you felt knowing that people were already talking about you and Eddie, “Does it matter? Does any of this shit matter?”
“Of course it does.” Janet finally chimed in, her voice calm compared to Amelia, “You could get yourself in trouble hanging out with someone like him.”
You rolled your eyes before shooting her a condescending look, “When have I ever gotten in trouble for literally anything?”
“It’s bound to happen eventually.” Amelia countered, and you finally dropped your fork to look at them both, your frustration growing.
“If it bothers you so much,” You start, your tone cold and direct, as non-emotional and harsh as you could manage, “start hanging out with someone else. Start hanging around Duncan, for all I care. We have loads of other friends who I’m sure won’t do something as stupid as talking to a boy.”
Amelia rolled her eyes at the way you mocked them, familiar with the tone of voice you were using. She’s heard you use it at least half a dozen times before when you two had gotten into stupid arguments in the past.
“Look, whenever you’re done PMSing or whatever, you’ll see where we’re coming from.” With a finite look on her face, Amelia picked up her lunch tray again and headed off back to her familiar, comfortable lunch table. Janet gave you an apologetic look before scurrying off a moment later.
You should be upset. And, yes, a part of you was irritated by the conversation, and yet, a large smile spread across your face - you didn’t anticipate that you’d piss Amelia off so quickly and acutely. You two have fought a number of times before considering how easily your personalities could clash, but this felt like you actually accomplished something. Your plan was already working wonders, despite your continued doubts.
As you went back to your quiet lunch, you couldn’t help but watch your group of friends from afar, mostly in irritation, although you felt a mild pang of loss in your chest. They all looked so happy, so at ease with one another, and a part of you suddenly missed that feeling. But you knew you were just being nostalgic, because you wouldn’t feel any of those things if you sat with them - you wouldn’t feel happy or at ease, rather you’d feel annoyed and tense.
Yet you couldn’t help but that bit of sadness you felt at the sight of them.
Even Duncan, that asshole, looked cheery as he shared a laugh with the guys, clapping one of them on the shoulder. You couldn’t help but glower at the sight of him. Diverting your attention, your eyes began to scan the lunch room, wondering where exactly Eddie and his band of rejects sat. You’d never noticed before considering that it didn’t matter in the past, but it was probably a good idea to start keeping track of these types of things.
You eventually found the gaggle of geeks, watching as they excitedly conversed. The mean-spirited part of you made a judgmental face, assuming they were talking about D&D or the arcade or something else equally as nerdy. After a few moments of taking in the group as a whole, you found yourself studying Eddie’s face, taking in his ever-changing expression; he didn’t seem to notice you watching him, which gave you a better chance at observing him.
Eddie was always theatrical, you realized, always throwing his arms around as he spoke or raising his voice for particular emphasis. You found it strange just how big his communication style was, especially considering how tightly wound you always were. Where he had his exaggerated movements and his dramatic tones, you had your tight motions and controlled voice. Just thinking about how different he was dared to give you a headache, and you caught yourself wondering what the hell you’d be in for once you two moved your fake relationship along.
Eventually, Eddie seemed to sense eyes on him, because his gaze found yours curiously. You raised an eyebrow, unsure if he was able to see the movement from halfway across the cafeteria; when he made a face in return, you figured he noticed. He, too, raised both brows as if in question, nudging his head ever so slightly - it appeared that he was asking you to join him, but you couldn't be sure if that’s what he meant. Nonetheless, you shook your head at him, deciding that you were enjoying your quiet lunch and that you weren’t quite ready to put up with his group of loser friends for even five minutes. Regardless of whether or not you wanted to, you knew you’d get to that point eventually. Eddie gave a shrug of his shoulders, as if silently saying “suit yourself;” and although he turned his gaze back to his friends, you two continued stealing glances for the remainder of your lunch break.
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Come Wednesday morning, Amelia wasn’t waiting for you at your locker. No one was except for Janet, who looked tense before she spotted you walking towards her. She tried to put on a brave face once you two met eyes.
You figured this meant Amelia wasn’t planning on talking to you anytime soon. Good. As for the rest of the group, it didn’t matter to you either way. Although, it was still surprising to see Janet here by herself - she must’ve been sent by Amelia.
As you approached, Janet gave you a sheepish wave. You couldn't help the familial smile you gave her - she was a much easier person to get along with than most others in your circle.
“How long before Amelia talks to me this time?” You jested with a mean quality to your voice.
Janet didn’t appear to be amused by it, though, as she responded, “She’ll hold out forever if she feels like it.”
You huffed out a laugh while opening your locker, “Good point. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing.”
You two were silent for a few long moments as Janet nibbled at her thumb nail and you moved belongings between your bag and your locker.
“What’s going on with you this week?” She finally asked, out of curiosity, rather than with judgment. Nonetheless, you shot her a look, to which she quickly waved her hands as if to calm down whatever bitchiness was about to stir up in you, “No no, I’m not trying to be mean. It’s just… you’ve been weird since school started.”
So, Janet noticed. You wondered if anyone else had. Maybe they’d all been ignoring it, but now that Eddie was in the mix they couldn’t keep that up anymore.
You shrugged as the pair of you began the trek through the halls to your respective classes, your answer noncommittal, “‘Weird,’ huh?”
Janet watched you as if she was waiting for you to elaborate, before sighing and asking, “Is there something going on? Like, something you need to talk about?”
You laughed without thinking, a mean and dismissive sound even to your own ears, “Yeah right.”
Hurt flashed across Janet’s face, her tone clearly different than it was a moment before, “Geez, sorry I asked.”
“Just stop worrying about it, alright?” You insisted with harshness, your eyes cold as you looked over at her.
With a resigned expression, Janet dropped her head and sighed, muttering as she walked away, “Yeah, whatever…”
It briefly struck you that maybe you didn’t have to be so bitchy all the time. But, then again, you didn’t really know how to be anything else.
Your day went on as usual from that point. You discussed a boring book in first period, you wasted time in second period, and once third period rolled around, a vague excitement struck you as you remembered that that was the one class you shared with Eddie. You should not have been excited at that thought, not in the slightest, and yet it added something interesting to your otherwise stupid and monotonous day.
When you entered the classroom, Eddie was already there, sitting at his usual desk in the back corner, looking bored despite class not even starting yet, drumming his pencil absently on his desk. As you approached and he spotted you out of the corner of his eye, he sat up a little in his seat, a nearly cute smile crossing his lips. Once you reached his side, the kid next to Eddie glanced up at you curiously, to which you made a face; meanwhile, Eddie just appeared surprised that you were the one to initiate conversation.
“Didn’t see you this morning.” You started simply, crossing your arms in front of you.
“I was late.” He shrugged lazily before giving you a conspiratory look, “What, were you waiting for me?”
You narrowed your eyes a little at his teasing, responding in a flat tone, “Oh, I was absolutely heartbroken.”
“Figured.” Eddie grinned widely, to which you responded with a subtle smile.
You turned away and went to your desk in the second row, surrounded by other students who were part of your usual circle of acquaintances. While waiting for class to start, you looked around the room, your gaze unintentionally drifting back towards Eddie. You studied him for a few moments before a decisive look graced your features and you abruptly stood back up. The movement caused a couple of people to glance your way, but otherwise no one cared.
You walked to the back of the room, turning your attention on the boy sitting next to Eddie, who awkwardly looked between you and his desk as if he were nervous under your gaze, as if he feared looking you in the eye.
“Move.” You say harshly. He looks at you in surprise and confusion, to which you raise a curved brow as if challenging him to defy you, “Move.”
You didn’t have to repeat yourself again. With a surprised scoff, he collected his things and migrated to the next available seat, which was sure to throw off the entire seating arrangement of the class for the day. As you plopped down at the desk next to Eddie’s, he laughed halfheartedly, his expression just as surprised as the other boy’s.
“Jesus, you are mean.” He states, although his eyes seem to show at least a hint of appreciation. You shrug, pulling your notebook and pencil from your bag.
“Well, I wanted to sit here.”
“Ever heard of the word ‘please?’” Eddie teased, shaking his head at you. You gave him a look out of the corner of your eye, refraining from talking back.
As the bell rang and the stragglers migrated in, people began to notice your change of seat. Some people looked at you strangely, others with disapproval, and the rest just didn't seem to notice or care at all. Hell, even your teacher had to pause and search for you during attendance, realizing you weren’t at your usual desk. Her vague hum of disapproval was enough to get a few students to shoot glances your way. As if in response, Eddie stretched his leg across the aisle to rest his foot on the metal basket beneath your seat.
Math class came and went, and as you walked out of the room, Eddie followed right alongside. As you led the way to your next class, Eddie playfully bumped your shoulder with his, which was starting to become a common thing between you two already, a quick way for him to break the rules you laid out for him.
You glanced up at him with a raised brow, “Yes?”
Eddie shrugged, looking falsely nonchalantly, causing you to narrow your eyes in confusion and perhaps mild annoyance. The playfulness wasn’t something you were accustomed to, nor did you think you ever would.
“You gonna sit with us at lunch?” He asked, to which you pulled a face, causing him to laugh without amusement, “I take it that’s a ‘no.’”
“I didn’t exactly factor your friends into this plan.”
Eddie looked nearly amused, but also perhaps a touch critical, “What did you factor in?”
You made a face, but he continued to simply look down at you with a slight grin. You sighed in response, chewing the inside of your cheek with thought.
“I guess we need to come up with some more rules.”
“Do I get to make some this time?” Eddie joked.
You rolled your eyes smally, “I’ll allow it.”
“Then I guess it’s a date.” You paused momentarily to look up at him with narrowed eyes.
“You still have to actually ask me out, that doesn’t count,” The pair of you reach your biology classroom, so you pause outside the door. “I’m expecting those flowers and balloons, you know.”
“I’m sure you are.” Eddie mocked, that damned grin still across his lips.
Students brushed past you to enter the classroom, and you briefly wondered if Duncan - who you shared this class with - was already here, if he had noticed the two of you. But you didn’t dare to look into the classroom, because just your luck he’d figure you were looking for him. But as that thought crossed your mind, you took a small step closer into Eddie’s personal space, putting on your best look of interest as you stared up at him. Eddie first appeared flustered and confused, but he quickly brushed it off as he seemed to slowly realize what you were doing.
“You’re not half bad at this, you know,” Eddie teased, his eyes shining as he said in a slightly lower voice, “If I didn’t know any better, I’d almost believe you liked me.”
Despite yourself, your cheeks warmed a little, but you hoped that it wasn’t obvious. Or maybe you did want it to be obvious. There was just something about Eddie’s tone that threw you off your rhythm, and you mentally kicked yourself for it.
“Don’t flatter yourself.” The flirty expression on your face juxtaposed your flat tone, and Eddie’s face looked almost wicked in response.
“No, that’s supposed to be your job.”
You had to pull your eyes away from Eddie’s - you had absolutely no interest in him, but this performative flirting was starting to mess with you a little. That’s something you’d have to work on as well, because you didn’t need this plan to confuse you one bit.
You didn’t realize how long the two of you had been standing in the hallway, as the ring of the fourth period bell nearly startled you. You found Eddie’s eyes again, giving him as cute a smile as you could muster.
“Go before you land yourself in detention.” You instructed; Eddie grinned widely while shaking his head.
“I practically run detention.” He, again, brushed his fingers along the small of your back as he moved past you, holding your eyes as you watched him go, “I’ll catch you later.”
You gave a small wave before dipping into the classroom, eyes roaming over everyone as you walked to your seat. You caught Duncan looking at you knowingly.
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
By Friday afternoon, Amelia was over your spat earlier in the week, insisting that you sit with them at lunch, to which you begrudgingly agreed after she kept pestering you. Well, maybe she wasn’t entirely over it - her snide little comments throughout the week made that abundantly clear. But, just as most teenagers do, she chose to pretend it didn’t happen and go on with life as usual. She ignored the little glances Eddie would shoot you in the hall, the little knowing looks you two shared, and you didn’t mention your new seat next to him in math class.
After classes ended for the day, you were amongst a group of students lingering in the parking lot, everyone discussing that night’s football game and other upcoming plans for the weekend. You actually managed to hold a half-decent conversation with a couple of the cheerleaders and a boy you once upon a time had a crush on back in freshman year; that never went beyond making out drunkenly a couple times at parties. Nearby, Duncan entertained a group with some story that probably wasn’t as interesting as everyone acted; he hadn’t acknowledged you this entire time, and had made it a point of ignoring you since Wednesday.
The group seemed to be in agreement that they’d all go out after the football game, and of course it was presumed that meant everyone, including you. You avoided saying anything on the subject so you wouldn’t be held accountable for it later.
At some point in your conversation, your former crush made a puzzled face at something past your shoulder. You mirrored his expression curiously, looking behind you to see what caught his attention.
Eddie was approaching the group. You had to give him credit, it was ballsy to come up to a dozen popular kids as the guy who was almost universally hated in this school. In that moment, you appreciated Eddie’s confidence and lack of fear.
You decided you’d rather spare yourself the headache of everyone ganging up on Eddie, so stealing a glance at the group, you slid off the hood of the car you sat on, walking away from them without another word. As you met him halfway, Eddie gave you a devilish grin, his eyes drifting from you to the crowd of kids just beyond your shoulder. You raised your brow challengingly at him, but managed a small half-smile at his presence.
You briefly wondered what they were all thinking, what they were all saying. You hoped it was nothing good at all.
“They sure look happy to see me.” Eddie commented, casually sliding his hands in his pockets with a lazy grin once you two came together.
Just like you’ve been working on, you stood closer to Eddie than you would have liked, giving a performance even as your back was turned to all of your friends and acquaintances. You needed to be convincing at all times, so you tried to think about all the little details that would suggest you were interested in Eddie, even if no one could see your face - leaning in as you spoke, twiddling your fingers, etc.
“So, are you asking me out now?” You tilted your head to one side as you asked in a matter-of-fact tone.
A small huff escaped Eddie’s nose, “You’re a real romantic, you know that, princess?”
“Aren’t I just?” You taunted, eyes narrowing.
Keeping his face cool, Eddie leaned forward so you were nearly eye level with one another, a smirk still resting on his lips as he responded in a prodding tone, “I’m going to ask you out now. If that’s alright with you, of course.”
You made a face at his mocking tone, but nodded nonetheless, staring at him impatiently. Eddie put on an extra charming smile for the audience inevitably watching your interaction as he stood back to his full height.
“Then in that case,” He paused to eye you up and down with an expression you’d never seen on his face before - if you didn’t know any better, you would’ve bought it, and you nearly flushed at that thought. Eddie projected his voice, not so loud that it was obvious, but just enough that some of your friends were certain to hear him, “So, what do you say? Let me take you out tonight, anywhere you want.”
“Tonight?” You asked with actual surprise while Eddie smiled at you with a charming look on his face.
“Unless you have something better going on.” Eddie taunted while stealing a glance at the group behind you, his expression growing almost too cocky considering that you both knew that you couldn’t say “no.”
You were certain the group was watching your conversation unabashedly, if Eddie’s attentive eyes were anything to go on. You traced your tongue along your lower lip as you drew out the moment just as Eddie had done to you before. When it seemed that you were taking too long, his gaze flicked back down to you.
“I really hope you don’t have something better going on.” He added as if he were getting nervous, as if this was real and the feeling of rejection was creeping up on him. You raised your brows tauntingly, your expression a little mean, and Eddie realized you did this on purpose. He just had to refrain from letting his impatience show on his face.
You finally show him mercy, adding a flirty smile despite the fact that your friends still couldn’t see your face, “Anywhere I want, huh?”
You could practically feel the impatient exhale that escaped Eddie, his eyes showing the slightest bit of annoyance at you. But he kept that charming grin in place.
“Anywhere.”
“Then it’s a date.” Your tone is a little brighter as you try to convey excitement.
You turn back in the direction of the group so that you could walk to your car, Eddie coming up alongside you. Your stride is confident despite all eyes on you, and you can see some of them whispering to one another. As you breeze past with Eddie beside you, you see Duncan shaking his head in disbelief, while another friend makes a harsh comment about Eddie.
“Pick me up at 7,” You start to instruct, letting your cool eyes look over the crowd of popular kids, “figure out if any good movies are showing, I’m craving popcorn.”
Once you two reach your car, you lean your rear back against the driver door while looking up at Eddie who now had his back to the group. You almost enjoyed the reversal, as you were able to catch every small glance sent your way by Amelia, Janet, and everyone else; now you could see just how harshly everyone had been staring at you before.
You whispered, forcing Eddie to stand a little closer, “We’re not actually going out tonight, I have something going on.”
“Damn,” Eddie teased with a false grin, “you got my hopes up.”
“But we do need to make plans soon,” You continue, ignoring his sarcasm, “We have to figure out how this is going to work.”
“And it’d be nice if your fake boyfriend actually knew anything about you.” Eddie added, to which you made a face despite knowing he had a point. A curious look crossed his face, as if what you said about having plans just a moment ago was finally setting in, “So… what do you have going on tonight?”
“Not telling.” You answer simply as you give him a wicked grin. Your eyes trail back to the group of your former friends for a split second, and in an impulsive act of defiance, you lean up to kiss Eddie on the cheek, his barely-there stubble tickling your lips. You pulled back with a flirty look, desperately fighting the impulse to make a face at the physical contact that you just initiated, “We’ll talk next week, Munson.”

"But you're the only one that's holding me down!"
pairing- bsf!satoru x reader
cw- igs angst idk i js needed plot to build up, fluff, highschool toru
analysis- your ex leaves you & satoru gets stood up
a/n- HEY PEOPLES i just wanna thank you for all the support and love yall are giving me im close to 1k and i wanna do a special so ill be having a poll posted soon, also this story was heavily influenced by strangers things season 2 when nancy was dancing with dustin !
-

"are you fucking shitting me ?" your stern voice could be heard by your ex, who was standing in front of you dancing with another girl but quickly removed her away from him the second he saw your face. "is this what you meant by be right back? to go blow me off with this bitch?" you point to the girl he was dancing with, completely shocked because not to be rude but you knew your self worth and this was just down right disrespectful. "baby i swear she's just a friend-" you tune him out making an overly dramatic eye roll as you feel your eyes began to water, honestly you didn't even know why exactly this little situation had you threatening to spill tears.
your ex was embarrassing you nothing new before- this was the same routine, the same cycle, and he had the same excuse every. single. time. you wanted to quite literally punch yourself in the face for falling for it yet again.
There was something in your gut telling you going to the snowball with your ex would have horrible results, yet you ignored your female intuition and went anyways, now you stood here looking so idiotically stupid in front of everyone as your confront this piece of shit. honestly ? you weren't even close to being as upset as you were embarrassed. hell the only reason you found out what he was doing on his "bathroom break" was because your friend pointed him out with a "uh girl- ain't that yo man?"
"bottom line is- you mean more to me than she does" is he serious ?.. "oh so she means something to you? just not as much as me right" the girl look so uncomfortable in this situation she began to remove herself from the middle of you two "little word of advice sweetheart, don't date him in the future, he's just looking to get his dick wet."
"wha- no what are you- why are you putting words in my mouth?! you know what are being such a bitch about this! jesus y/n you're always blowing things way out of proportion it's why i can't stay in a damn relationship with you ! and i try so hard to be nice but it's like you latch on to me like a fucking leech, just admit it without me you would be nothing! you had no one before me, no one loved you until I came along. your so god damn annoying seriously." staring in absolute disbelief and your eyes are so hot as people were now looking his way wondering what was going on and why his voice was growing louder and louder by the minute.
"let me tell you something you sick fuck. I am my own person and i do not need a little boy who's insecure about his penis size to contradict me about me and my life, you may have gotten me to come out of my shell but you didn't make shit, you are not my father nor my mother so you have absolutely no right to speak to me the way you're doing right now. I am a growing woman with my own liberties and ideals and if you didn't see that before, then that says a lot about the way you view me." hot tears are not streaming down your face as you make your way back to the table you were sitting at. you had made sure to keep your voice down so you wouldn't attract a crowd because lord knows all hell would've broken lose.
you sat at the table trying to dry your tears as a wave of nausea comes over you, feeling upset about everything that just happened as his words relayed in your head 'no one loved you' no. he was wrong so utterly wrong, you had friends, great ones in fact, you even had a best friend the one who stuck by your side through thick and thin.
---
"shit" satoru cursed out as he realized he was crying, he was currently sitting behind the flimsy decorations the at covered the bleachers, alone and out of sight form everyone who could see how pathetic he looked right now.
crying over a female.
satoru honestly didn't even know why exactly this little situation had him crying, he had been showed up. nothing new before- girls who flirt with him for his wealth and ditch as soon as the connections start. of course he was used to it, sad but true. he came to the conclusion of it wasn't the girl herself that he was crying over. it was his inability to find love. most people would laugh when if they hear that satoru was true a lover boy, especially with his reputation for moving into different relationships faster than a virgin boy cumming for the first time.
in fact he had been in more flings you can count on your fingers just this semester. but it wasn't on purpose it's not like his goal was to become a pass around. it just sorta happened...
satoru was more upset than he had realized. thoughts running around his head about how unlucky his love life was. He sat on the bleachers, on the last day and most important moment of the first semester of his senior year, crying and alone.
it was so unfair, he had come here with a group of friends and though they didn't come with dates it sure as hell looked like they were leaving with one, suguru and shoko didn't even have a plus one but in the mist of waiting with satoru on his, they had both picked up someone to dance with. which was fine, he couldn't bring himself to be envy of his friends love life. hell even his best friend who stuck by his side through thick and thin was probably around the gymnasium somewhere slow dancing with her-
"hey." satoru immediately wipes his face as he hears your voice. "uh hey, what's up?" he looks up at you hoping you wouldn't notice his red and puffy eyes, but you were his best friend so of course you did.
"are you okay?" walking over to the bleachers you sit a couple feet away from him "yeah, heh why wouldn't i be?" he said with a little sniffle "oh well- this is just an observation but maybe it has something to do with the fact that you're crying... and alone" shit you had noticed, satoru did not like the feeling swarming inside his tummy he felt self-conscious. he didn't want to look so vulnerable infront of you
"well- technically i'm not alone, you're here" he looks up at you giving his infamous cocky smile that you've grown the love you can't help but giggle at his antics "what's funny?" "you" you catch yourself smiling a little to hard at him which causes you to clear your throat and switch the topic of the conversation. "so uh- where's your date?" looking off to the side his smile faded as soon as it came "i don't know if i should tell you, it's pretty lame" he spreads his legs further slouching down as he picks at his fingernails in the middle of his lap.
"satoru i've been your friend since middle school... i've seen your emo phase" his eyes shoot open as he looks over at you in horror "oh my god! you remember that?" a pink hue dusted his cheeks as he remembers the sight of that god awful side part and horrible black eye liner (sorry nanami) "of course i do" you let out with a laugh gojo leans his head back and groan bringing his hands up to cover his face out of embarrassment. laughing once more you decide to scoot in closer, now sitting right next to him, opposite to the few feet when you were away from him. "so?"
"i've been stood up" his eyes falls into his lap not having the guts to see your face of empathy right now. "if it makes you feel better" you lean back and stretch your arms out on the row behind you eyes having the same fate as his "my ex ditched me for someone else then proceeded to call me annoying" gojo felt his heart squeeze as he looked up to see the waterline of your eyes activate "he's a piece of shit, seriously i don't even know why you keep going back to him" redness around his eyes slowly faded and started to fill with anger as he talked about your ex "it's cause- i just- i just want to be loved by someone who truly wants me for me and every time he walks into my life it's usually at one of my lowest points and i just fall right for it!" your best friend watched intensely as he took in every word you were saying as you began to pour your heart out to him all the while in his head agreeing with you since all he wanted was to be loved.
"i mean its so hard to find someone in this generation who truly cares about me, it's like im" you lean forward and put your face in you palms eyebrows furrowed as you let your frustrations out
"doomed for love"
the two of you make eye contact shocked that the same words fell from both of your lips "i get you in so many ways you wouldn't even understand." a comfortable silence fills the air around you for a moment until he broke it (fucking blabbermouth) "for the record, i don't think your annoying, and-" mumbling the last part you look over in confusion "what did you say?" the blush began to creep back up his neck as he looks to the side "i said-" he voice went inaudible once again "toru i can't hear you" "i said you look beautiful tonight!" he suddenly shouted, turning back around to look you in your eyes, the two of you just looked at eachother not knowing what to say next "well thank you, i think that you look very handsome" you scootch over more and lean you head on to his shoulder
at first satoru tenses up not sure what to do but as time went on he relaxes, slowly bringing a hand around to your waist to pull you in even closer into a nice side hug as the two of you watch the other people have fun on the dance floor "jesus, suguru can not dance" letting out a sigh satoru puts his head down embarrassed for his friend who was currently making a damn fool of himself infront of his date you giggle looking around the gymnasium spotting your closet girl friend "if you think he's bad look at shoko" you sit up and he follows suit only for his jaw to drop at the her cruel dance moves "what about-"
"utahime" in unison the two of you burst into laughter as you seemingly spot her at the same time, she was moving her hips so off beat that it was unusual, but hey at least she was happy. after the fit of giggles you return back into the position before "you know, we shouldn't even have come to this thing in the first place- it's so corny i mean cmon, what's next there gonna play a thousand years by christina pe-"
"heart beats fast"
"oh you've gotta be shitting me" you cackle at the perfect timing of his crude joke as he leans back once more. you take it upon your self to get up and stick your hand out in front of him "y-you wanna dance?" rolling your eyes you snatch him up by his blazer dragging him to the make shift dance floor "uh, i'm not sure if i-" "relax you got this, just like we practiced" right. how could he forget that the two of you practice slow dancing together (it was his idea since he didn't want to embarrass himself) just the night before.
you stretch you arms out behind him, caressing where his smooth skin and the fluffiness tuffs of his hair connected as he wrapped his arms around your mid back the two of you smoothly swayed from side to side looking into at another with a smile. "hey let's try something" satoru says he then adjust your hands on him for a more comfortable position and soon enough he's leading the way as the two of you dance together laughing at the little stumbles here and there "okay you ready?" "yeah" just then satoru spins you around so lightly you would think that he thinks you're made of glass, fragile. everthing is in slow motion and you don't catch it, but your best friend looks at you with love filling his eyes. you looked so beautiful. your pink dress illuminating under the fairy lights that hung around. gojo satoru had never seen such beauty in his life. he begins to think how lucky he is to have someone like you in his life. after the spin is over he brings you into a hug one hand wrapped its long arm around your back and the other pushes your head into his chest and he leans his neck down to give you a small kiss on your forehead. the hug catches you off guard by its firmness but you reciprocate nun the less.
"wanna go back to my place and watch a movie?"

PLS MAKE ONE WHERE MC4S FAVORITE IS JIN YOU WRITE TOO GOOD
Oh aren't you just the sweetest? Okay okay, guess who spilled the beans that Jin is your favorite? Seeing as it was screeched across the cafeteria I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count...
Tohma - Oh honey he saw that a mile away. Was he supposed to be surprised? You're not very subtle. (And neither is his captain...) Don't be too concerned if you start to hear him say his April fools line a little more often now. What he wouldn't give to knock that bastards head off...
Lucas - Well he's definitely sure you aren't crazy. He kinda looks up to Jin. Like after he got scolded from the pit fight I think Luca realized that Jin is a good leader. And that makes him feel better that he's your favorite... but he's still got a twist in his gut from the verbal confirmation.
Kaito - This guy is the one who fucking blabbed. Sorry I mean screeched it across the entire cafeteria. He's so upset. Like you're so sweet and nice to him but you still fell for the same guy that all the frostheim girls do. It's not fair!
Alan - If his jaw tightens when he finds out no it didn't. He's... let's say it's annoyance. Feels like he can't keep the people important to him without Jin taking them away. Hell he might start inviting you over more, despite how unfamiliar he is with it, just to keep you away from Jin.
Sho - Ew. Sho probably thinks Jin is just another rich brat with too much money and unfounded confidence. Asks if you think Jin can even cook a ready made meal. Wonders out loud if the guy could even survive without Tohma around. Pretty sour over it...
Leo - Calls you basic (again) bc come on honor roll you can't pick someone a little more fun? God, what do you like smokers and jackasses who don't do their own chores? He's digging up dirt and gets slapped down like an annoying mosquito the second Tohma catches wind of it. Alan come get your lil bitch boy...
Haru - Sure sure, Jin is cool. If you like stagnant conversation that goes nowhere. Where Jin is cold and difficult Haru is warm and easy to talk to. He's got more opinions I'm sure but he circles back to how much more fun it is hanging out with him at jabberwock.
Towa - Annoyed. As usual. Are we surprised at this point? Tbh I'm not sure if Jin even considers Towa a threat in any sense of the word. But I think he should. One stray lightening strike in frostheim and it's got you chastising the ghoul immediately. That's fine as long as you're looking at him dandelion...
Ren - Oh the eye roll is everything. He knew you were a normie but he kinda hoped you weren't that kinda normie... But he won't ever admit that you favoring another shut in type guy has his hopes up just a little bit...
Taiga - Oooh shit. Fire and ice at it again. Makes it seem like he's only doing it to steal you from the ice prince but if he's more handsy than usual and starts carrying you around then trust he is actively pissed at that bitch. What gives Jin the right to be his kitty cats favorite ghoul? Fucker...
Romeo - Not upset per say... Just... Oddly irritated in a quiet way. Like you've somehow stepped on his toes personally. I feel like Romeo has mixed feelings about Jin. He clearly isn't a Frostheim fan unless he can rip them off but this guy is worse than just that.
Ritsu - This is an interesting turn of events. He's not your favorite? But aren't you business partners? Also this man is kidnapping you through portals with his sword do you need the authorities? Wait he's calling you his servant and making you do labor for free? Okay Ritsu is now invested in this it's a case.
Subaru - I wonder if these two have issues due to the whole dissidents/supporters thing... But as we've seen Subaru tends to go straight for guilt trips but this is different. Mentions how dangerous he thinks Jin is and that Jin wouldn't have cared if he knew Lyca was locked up in Ultio...
Haku - This guy knows shit we don't and it makes me irritated quit being so tight lipped you whore... He isn't surprised but he didn't peg you as the type to go for the frigid guys. That's cold princess... Sorry sorry he'll cut the jokes don't give him that look.
Zenji - I think Zenji would have no qualms with Jin. Unless Jin actively behaved like an ass towards you in front of him. Aaaand you're going back to hotarubi with him the second Jin calls you servant. No ma'am you're not staying here. How dare this guy treat a lady like that?
Edward - Sees right through your favoritism. He knows you like the little human prince. If you agree to give him some blood he might spy on Jin to tell you what he thinks of you... Of course you'll still have to handle Ed being fake sad about it.
Rui - Ah, always the bridesmaid never the bride. Come on he saw this coming way before waves of love. Girls just can't resist Jin for some reason. Doesn't matter why he's your favorite, Rui will tease you regardless. Even if the teasing is just to make himself feel better.
Lyca - nope. Does not like it. Refuses to acknowledge that that jerk's your favorite. He smells bad and treats you like a servant. After the mansion he has a new respect for maids and butlers so what Jin does comes off as rude to him.
Yuri - Don't. Please don't say that. Like you know how he feels about Frostheim. It's ten times worse when it's Jin. You won't see the true level of how upset he is, he'd rather not cry in public thank you. Yells at you to take your ass to Darkwick general and get out of his lab.
Jiro - Usually Jiro is fine, he's cool, he's collected, but there's something sharp and dark in his eyes when Jin is mentioned to be your favorite. It's a little scary tbh... How his eyes narrow at the mere mention of his name. Safe to say probably one of the most™ reactions of all time you can get out of Jiro.
Jin - Huh? Playing favorites? What are you five? How many times does he need to tell you to lay low and not cause any problems? No you don't see a smug smile on his face when he turns away. That would be unbecoming of the captain of frostheim. Give him your hand... No he's not going to use his stigma just give him your fucking hand already idiot...
#tkdb#'this guy is your favorite?'#jin kamurai#tohma ishibashi#lucas errant#kaito fuji#alan mido#sho haizono#leo kurosagi#haru sagara#towa otonashi#ren shiranami#taiga hoshibami#romeo lucci#romeo scorpius lucci#ritsu shinjo#subaru kagami#haku kusanagi#zenji kotodama#edward hart#rui mizuki#lyca colt#yuri isami#jiro kirisaki

Okay, hear me out. *gets in my clown suit* What if there *isn’t* a traitor? Let’s pretend the trailer doesn’t exist and that we don’t know Alan will go see Tony and make a deal with him possibly. If we ignore that, there’s nothing Tony has done that indicates he has any in-depth knowledge of anything happening with X-Hunter apart from whatever he can find out from publicly available information and whatever William has told him. They thought he was dead, it’s not like they thought they had to keep it a secret.
If he knew what they were doing, why would he let them continue? Wouldn’t he try to sabotage them? Furthermore, why would he need Willy at all if he already had a mole? I could have missed something and I’m sure someone will point it out if I have, but Tony just isn’t operating like someone who has an ace up their sleeve. — @babyangelsky
Mira. ¡Mira! Everything you wrote is exactly why I'm worried that my Wild Ass Theory of there *not* being a traitor might make sense because the trailer DOES exist, and this is what we know:
North and Sonic are upset and about to kiss but @dribs-and-drabbles and @grapejuicegay think this is the past because of the boys' clothing.
Kenta will be experimented on.
But Kim will rescue him.
Dean is still alive.
Winner has him, and Alan goes to see him.
Alan gets shot with Jeff right next to him.
He probably tells Jeff to leave him.
Alan gets taken or tries to run away (but there's no blood).
And he gets experimented on.
Alan probably now has a chip in his head like Willy (thanks, Anon) so he has to do Tony's bidding? But he is wearing different clothes in the last two, so could this also go in the "it happened in the past" theory with North and Sonic? I don't think so.
But hopefully this scene hasn't happened yet, and Alan will be fine with Jeff (PLEASE< GOD!) by the end of this. If this scene has already happened and I don't remember, everyone just be quiet because I can't handle the possibility of Alan dying.
We know Charlie is going to go overboard on the powers and end up with amnesia, which makes me think he takes Willy power.
Or he is injected with Tony's crazy potion.
And when he is in Pete's lab recovering, Babe is wearing this.
Which is the same jacket he is wearing when he speaks to Pete outside the room.
So I'm thinking Pete is telling Babe that Charlie is stuck this way, and that Babe is going to have to take care of Charlie as is.
But the question remains, how did Willy know Charlie was in the lab in the first place?
It couldn't have been the assistants.

Because Willy snatched the work badge from them.
So somebody HAS TO BE the traitor.

Jeff, Kim, and Kenta could never. Chris and Pete seem like they have other things going on. Dean is out. North is on my short list. But only three people have been consistently red this season.



Alan can't be the mole if he still has to get shot and experimented on. It seems so crazy that Babe would be the mole that it should be easily dismissed. Which leaves us with the easiest target — Sonic.

Yet Babe talks to Tony.
Why would Babe go talk to Tony? Because shit is so rough with everyone falling around him that he goes to strike a deal with Tony to protect Charlie or because he already unknowingly betrayed them?
Tony put Babe in the hospital, but he didn't kill him or take him like he tried in the first season. Why is he still obsessed with Babe when Charlie is right there? Because the easiest way to get Charlie is to get Babe.
In the beginning of the very first episode this season, Babe had a nightmare about Way, and in the pilot trailer, he dreamed that he followed Charlie only to end up facing Way whose power was to manipulate people into doing what he wanted, then Tony appeared, so what if that is happening again to Babe? Way couldn't get Babe to do everything, but he could get him to do most things. So what if Babe is doing things against his will and not even remembering that he is doing them now because someone's power is stronger with a newer drug?! What if he just thinks he's having nightmares?
What if he is a traitor without knowing he is being a traitor?
Because he knew Charlie was in the lab. He was with him! He wouldn't take Charlie to Tony, but he could tell him where he was without realizing it.
So I'm praying there is actually no traitor and I've been spinning my wheels for nothing this season or that it really is Sonic who is being so strange this season.
Because it better not be Barbie!
#pit babe#pit babe season 2#I hate it here#I'm doubting Barbie now!#this is the hell I'm in#I need this season to end so I can get answers#it better be Sonic because I've already prepared for him to be the traitor#but if it's Barbie (or Alan) . . .#nobody talk to me

Dubble Life (ACTSV x reader x Batfam) 4
Summary: Reader made a promise to never let Spider-Woman out. Knowing the dangers of putting that mask on. Reader is starting off fresh now, and they will be damned if anyone tries to have you pull that mask down your face again.
Part 3 Part 5
TW: break downs, mentions of past trauma, mentions of mental health
"Just listen to me!" Gwen was following you as you were still franticly searching for Damian.
"Bug off Gwen. Don't need the society's shit right now." You spoke harshly. Gwen sighed as she watched your stressed expression switch between worry and frustration.
Gwen stopped and spoke. "I know your probably still hurting. But New York needs Spider Woman. Your uncle and Miles can't hold Brooklyn down forever." You paused and turned your head to the blonde.
"More anomalies are showing up. The Prowlers aren't fit to control them. If this keeps up, who knows what will happen." Gwen was staring at you with those big blue eyes of her's.
You always used to like looking into Gwen's eyes. Her eyes always held this kind of sadness in them, sadness you and her connected with. But no, you see no connection. At least not the same as before.
". . .I'm sorry Gwendy. But I don't have time for this."
You made sure the coast was clear before shooting a web to a nearby building and land in an alleyway.
After nearly two hours of searching for Damian and nearly having a break down. Alfred was able to find you and inform you that Damian was safe and was currently with Bruce. Damian had wanted to stay with Bruce. And you decided to go back to the manor.
"Don't do that again Damian. You can't just leave your sister like that." Bruce scolded his son for making you worry. Knowing you must have been freaking out with the way he had disappeared. Damian sighed.
"If she's cross with me, then I'll tell her I went back for this." Damian lifted up an album. Bruce frowns in confusion. Because how the hell is a Boney M album going to calm you down?
"Lady Y/n. Is there anything you need before-"
"No Alfred! I just need some rest; I'll be in my room." You rushed up the stairs. And slammed your room door.
You finally took a seat on your bed. A second passed, and your breathing started to pick up, a minute passed, and your eyes began to sting from the incoming tears that seem to build up until your eyes couldn't hold them any longer, letting the tear drops fall.
It wasn't long till you became a sobbing mess.
it was too much. Emotions you didn't know were still in you started to burst out of control. You were a crying mess.
Why?
Were you stressed?
Or is it that you miss your family back in New York?
Were you upset seeing Gwen? Was seeing her bring back memories that you didn't want to see? Memories of people you don't want to remember?
No. . . that's not it, is it.
It was what happened with Damian. How he let your hand go, and just disappeared. It's funny, you don't really like the boy. Well, his attuited is what you distaste the most. But you were crying, because you thought you almost lost him.
You were scared you almost let someone who was your blood, your kin, die.
What a silly thought. Don't be thinking these things. Suck it up, you keep doing this and let these feelings show to the family. They won't be happy. If they aren't happy because you're not happy. You'll ruin the mood.
So, suck it up, you thought to yourself. Forget those silly thoughts, forget that knot you feel in your chest. Because your Y/n Morals- . . . Wayne. Y/n Wayne.
And this family, this manor. Is your fresh start. Your new beginning. And in order to make sure this new life of yours is to keep them safe. Make sure Spider-woman is never involved in their lives. Make sure they live.
Hours passed. There was no dinner time tonight. Which you were thankful for. You washed up and got yourself ready for bed.
Your phone began to ring. You stared at the contact number.
Miles👾
You took in a shaky breath and answered the call.
"Hey. . .you good?"
You smiled in relief from hearing your cousins voice.
"Yea. . . did you need something? Is Tia Rio, okay?" You questioned. Worried by the way Miles spoke.
"No- I mean yes! yes Mami's alright, It just . . ."
Your eyes squint, getting curies, and a little worried as to what was the matter.
"Just what?" Your voice seemed to have snapped Miles out of whatever train of thought he had.
"One of those people, a woman. Jess, she said her name was. She stopped by here. Saying she had a package for you."
You felt your heart stop for a second. Why the hell was Jess there.?
"A-and I heard her talking to dad. She claimed she was a doctor you and your mom used to go to. Sis, she was saying some shit bout you being mentally ill. And it looks like Dad and Mami bought it."
You began cussing at whatever caused this to happen.
"I just wanted to give you a heads up. Mami's going to drop off the package tomorrow at noon. She'll most likely bring it up to Bruce."
You sighed. You can handle this. You just have to observe, be patent and don't jump too early. Make sure to make the right moves. One wrong move, especially in front of Tia Rio. It's game over.
"Thanks bro. Goodnight, love you." You say as you lean on your desk. Your posture made it clear that you were absolutely exhausted for the day.
"Love you too. Good luck."
Miles hung up and you were once again alone with the silence in your room. You grabbed a CD and popped it in the CD player. You had to keep yourself distracted.
You needed to be distant from those silly thoughts. But don't float away now, you have to plan on how things are going to be tomorrow.
You want to jump and go straight into why in the hell did Jessica Drew go to Miles's house. A place you had made clear was off limits. You had informed Jess and Peter B that the places where your family is, are off-limits. Meaning Uncle Aarons apartment, Miles's apartment and the Wayne Manor in Gotham.
But for now, focus on the challenges that are in front of you now.
The next day came around. Damian had apologized and gave you a album as an apology.
You ended up forcing him to watch a horrible rom com just to get something out of it. And you did.
"That was stupid, and I'm never doing this again."
You laughed at Damian's words. The boy was truly fun to watch. A second past before you two heard a knock. You both look at the doorway to see Alfred.
"Lady Y/n. Your aunt is here to see you." The man said.
You began to mentally prepare yourself as you stood up and walked off to your room, that was where Alfred led Rio to wait for you.
As Rio was waiting for you. She took a look at your room. Your books were organized on the bookshelf. Pictures of you and Miles when you two were younger on the walls. One picture was on your nightstand. It was of her sister, your mother.
Rio didn't know you were seeing a therapist. Well, after what happened with that friend of yours a few years back. You did need it.
You just seemed so happy, even after that incident. But Rio now knows that you were only so happy because of your mother. After she died, Rio hasn't heard your laugh in a while.
The door to your room opened. You smiled, walking towards Rio with a smile.
Rio hugged you tight. She pulled away and saw how tired you look. She cups your face in worry.
"Oh, my baby. You look tired, have you been sleeping? Are you eating well? How about Bruce? Is he being good to you? I sware if he is not-" You chuckled and held both of her hands and kept them close to you.
"I'm okay, Bruce is nice. He's been spoiling me actually."
Rio calmed down and nods "And sleep? Hija mía, parece que no has dormido."
"Ah, I fell behind my studies last week and have been working to catch up. Don't worry I'm good now. My grades are safe!"
Rio smiled and sighed in relief. "I came here to drop this off. Your Therapist, Mrs. Drew?" Rio took out a box that was a size of a jewelry box. You took it and set it down on your nightstand.
"Honey is-. . ." You waited for what Rio was going to say. Was she going to ask about that 'theripist' of yours? Whatever Jess said, it seems to have made Rio upset.
"Is Bruce here? I need to speak to him."
You sighed and shook your head "Sorry, he's still at work." Rio nods and just smiled again as she gave your hand a squeeze before letting go. You and Rio went downstairs so you could walk her to her car.
"Oh! I almost forgot to tell you. Your uncle has got a new position now. He's going to be captain!" Rio smiled widely as she told you news.
You smiled and grabbed her hand. You kissed the back of her hand gave it a tight squeeze "Thats amazing"
You were spacing out. It looked like you were staring at something but thinking of nothing. But you were thinking of a lot of things. You wanted to live peacefully. Is that selfish?
Being Spider-Woman was amazing. You felt strong, felt like you could overcome anything that came your way. And protect loved ones made you feel safe. Knowing that you could protect them, made you feel safe.
But after your mother. After finding out the truth from Miguel. You didn't feel safe, you no longer felt like you could keep your loved ones or anyone around you safe. Not when you have that mask on.
So, you gave up the mask, made sure that without a Spider woman in your universe, things wouldn't go to hell. But every time, every time you thought things were okay, thought that everyone was safe from Spider Woman. The society keeps coming to ruin it. You had to find a way to stop them.
"Y/n? Hello?"
You snapped out of your train of thought. "Huh? Oh, sorry Damian, what were you saying?" You leaned in on your palm and gave your brother a smile.
"Movie. I'm bored." The boy bluntly said. You paused and began to process what he said. You smiled warmly and walked with Damian to the screen room.
You swear to all the gods, you won't let the mask take what you have left.

Best Friend!Jake x fem!reader
Fluff
Best friends to lovers
Warnings: cursing, mentions of a fight (not with Jake), punch, black eye, kisses



Jake has been your best friend since diapers. So cliché right? A classic. Best friends with one of them eventually catching feelings and being too scared to tell them because it will ruin your friendship. Yeah... you knew... But you still ended up being that one. Jake was always a caring friend. So cute and loveable. You fell for everything he had, but mostly because of his character. He was kind to everyone, but to you, he was himself. You thought that no one could hate him or think of hurting him. Well... you were wrong... And you'll see exactly what I mean...
Currently, you and Jake were on his bed, cuddled up and watching a movie. There was a comfortable silence in the room with only the movie and your breaths as faint sounds. You hadn't watched this movie again, but it reminded you a lot of past situations... Specifically Jake’s ex...
At a particular scene where the boy finds out that his girlfriend had been cheating, you slightly looked up at Jake. His brows were already furrowed, and you could tell he was upset.
"We can change it if you want to..." You said quietly trying not to push his emotions further until he interrupted you mid sentence
"Are all girls like this?" Oh, he was upset, sad, and angry at the same time. Bad combination. He wasn’t looking at you. Eyes glued to the laptop screen, not paying attention to the movie. More like zoning out.
"What do you mean?"
"Do all girls just...pretend to love a guy and then dump them just because they want to?" Now he was looking at you. Eyes glossy and jaw clenched.
"No... not all girls... just the ones that are...insecure about themselves." You were struggling to find the right words
"Huh, she didn't seem insecure..." He scoffed, and you bit your bottom lip.
You hated seeing him like this, and you are glad about what you did when he came crying to you. That night, Jake stayed at your place. A crying mess, rumbling about the way she treated him and as to why she could do that to him. His ex cheated on him with a guy that she swore was just her friend. Jake was always suspicious of him, but he didn't wanna make his girlfriend uncomfortable. But no matter how well he treated her, she still hurt him in the worst way possible.
Right now, Jake was on the verge of crying, and just the idea that she was about to hurt him again made you furious.
"Jake, look at me! Do you know remember when the next day she showed up with a black eye?"
"Yeah... I always wondered how that happened"
"Well, I did that!"
"You-you punched her?!" He was in pure shock. Eyes wide, mouth dropped to the floor
"Yeah! And I'm glad that i did! She is such a bitch! She doesn't care about other people's feelings! She fucking deserved it! She hurt MY best friend, aka my crush without even thinking about the way he would feel and-"
"WHAT?!" Oh no...
"Shit..." You were talking so fast that you said things that you shouldn't have...
"Wait a minute! YOU have a crush on ME?!"
He was even more shocked now
You exhaled deeply
"I didn't want you to find out..." You looked at the floor suddenly, really interested in the tiles
"Y/n, look at me"
You reluctantly looked up only to find his teary eyes replaced with those of pure joy. A wide grip plastered across his face, making him even more cute.
"Jake look-"
You were cut off with his lips smashing on yours.
Now, it was your turn to be shocked. At first, you didn’t kiss back, but eventually, you gave in. The kiss was sweet and long. No rush to it. Jake softly cupped your cheek with one hand while he pulled you closer with the other. Your hands scrunching up the fabric of his shirt, trying to keep you to your senses.
Once you pulled away, he placed his forehead on your and whispered
"I like you too... even if my life is threatened now that I know you can punch"
He laughed when you smacked his chest, pulling him for another kiss.
I guess that you liked the trope best friends to lovers no matter how cliché it sounded.

"Why do yall hate on a 14 yr old!"
Cuz said 14 year old has been losing her absolute mind over one singular boy and keeps making bigger issues for herself (and everyone else) coz of this little crush and it's CLEARLY only face value atp cuz she doesn't act any different than his[Adrien] fans.
Cuz said girl can't treat her partner like an equal for more than a season before deciding lying to everyone is better than dealing with the possible downfall of an emotional reaction. (Also does so with the boy she claims to love ) not to mention she thinks stalking and badgering people cuz they happen to be in the same space as Adrien is normal (despite her already DATING HIM AT THIS POINT.)
She goes on a date with him and consistently ditches him cuz she can't get her shit together for one(1) day. Adrien just lost his father and instead of..idk comforting him or trying to talk about THAT it's all abt how nervous she is and how he has to trail behind her. Give me a damn break.
And also..Adrien and Alya got shit on for WEEEEKS after Chameleon came out for doing regular shit that's in character and yall started shipping Marinette with every character under the sun so yall could shit on them (not to mention..replacing the ONE(1) black girl with Chloe and making Alya out to be this aggressive ass bully. Yall can go to hell)
..so yeah. Sorry this 14 year old doesn't get a pass after 6 seasons of her nonsense while yall dog ob Alya and Adrien frequently.
(Even Chloe. She's also 14 since yall wanna use that logic 💀)
If Marinettes considered old enough by the show standards. She should know by now, lying and coddling Adrien is shitty, stalking and bothering people over your boyfriend is SHITTY. (Sublime) and also trying to blow of your friends for some bs YOU thought up and then being upset at the wrong person..is shitty. (Sabrina.)
#miraculous ladybug#j.p speaks#ml fandom salt#marinette salt#ml critical#alya deserves better#adrien deserves better#after 6 seasons theres no more excuses. idc.

Could you write a smutty damian priest x fem!reader where he LOVES to leave hickeies on her? He loves to show her off! He leaves a big one her after another superstar(I'm thinking la knight) flirts with her and he wants to really make his territory:)
damian priest x reader
‼️smut baby, smut + reader has no shame at all (that could never be me)
likes, comments and reblogs are always appreciated!
mine, all mine
“what did you said? uh? i didn’t hear you” damian teased you while two of his fingers were pumping in and out of you.
“oh fuck…” you moaned, not able to answer him properly “i said…don’t leave any marks on me, please”
“and why not?” he smirked, curling his fingers inside of you.
“my costume…it will reveal too much…” you weren’t able to focus anymore on anything he was saying.
he smiled before attacking his lips to your neck “good…”
in all honesty, you didn’t care about marks and hickeys showing, in fact, you loved when damian marked you. you just didn’t want to have marks where in less than 24 hours you had a live event to attend, the one where families would be there with their kids and you, being a lovely babyface, had to behave like one.
meaning you had to stop and greet all the kids present at the event. you loved it, of course, you just didn’t want marks to show on that day, especially with kids being involved.
“damian please…i’m serious, no marks tonight…”
damian knew that tone and he knew you were serious.
“what if i mark you where people can’t see it?” he proposed.
“then what’s the fun part of showing the world who i belong to?” you teased him back.
“love, you are not helping tho…” he chuckled “but…not the whole world has to see this, just one person i have in mind…”
“who?” you asked.
“you know who…”
“damian” you laughed a little but stopped when you saw he was being serious “you know he doesn’t think of me like that, do you?”
“then why does he keep flirting with you? i don’t understand, i absolutely despise la knight for even thinking he could get with my woman…so please, let me show him who do you belong to” he teased you with his thumb over your clit “he will never see you like this, naked and panting for me, all for me…”
damian wasn’t stupid. he knew la knight had a crush for you. he couldn’t deny he enjoyed it seeing him so desperate to have his way with you but at the same time he couldn’t handle the possibility of seeing you with another man. he loved you and he knew you loved him too, but he had insecurities too and his biggest fear was to lose you.
so he had to mask all of those insecurities behind the bad boy mask.
“i’m yours damian…but please, no marks, please baby” you were serious. damian knew better to piss you off. he knew you took your job seriously and he didn’t want to upset you.
“i’ll see what i can do…” he smiled before moving his lips around your nipples. he teased them, giving them equal attention. he took his time with you, his fingers slowed down a little, his thumb circling your clit while his teeth were biting into the skin of your breast.
“oh shit…damian please…” you didn’t know what you were begging for.
“you like that uh? my little brat likes being treated like that” his teeth around your nipple, making you jump a little.
you knew hickeys were going to show up all over your boobs but honestly you didn’t mind. as you told damian before - places nobody would be able to see.
his lips moved over your thighs, your most sensitive part. he gently kissed your skin, moving from thigh to thigh, giving them the same amount of love.
“patience my love…” he saw you squirming under his touch. the sight of you naked was almost enough to make him cum right on the spot “let me taste that sweet pussy please” he said, leaving kisses over your clit, teasing you and making you even wetter.
you couldn’t handle his teasing no more “please damian, i need it” a single tear fell from your eye.
damian loved to tease and play with you but not tonight. he knew about the hard week you had and the fact that you had to leave wednesday for a live event while he had to stay at home was making the little time you had together even more special.
he took one minute to just admire you.
to admire the work of art over your breast.
your nipples red and the skin around them turning into a light purple colour. he was proud of himself but he knew the job wasn’t finished yet.
“tell me if it gets to much okay? i want you to enjoy it…”
“okay papi” you teased making him chuckle.
“oh shut up” he laughed before attaching his lips to your clit. your hips buckled into his mouth from the stimulation and he had to circle your chest with his muscular arm to make you stop moving.
“oh shit damian…right there please” you moaned when you felt his fingers moving again inside of you.
“you taste so fucking sweet mi amor” he whispered into your pussy, making you vibrate and shake under his body “you’re so beautiful princesa, naked and crying for me, i want to show the world how pretty you are” he said curling his fingers to that sweet spot you love.
“oh fuck do it again…”
“yeah?” he curled his fingers again “like that?” he looked at you like you were his prey. you nodded, non trusting your words enough but damian was satisfied with your answer.
you felt his hand moving from your hips to your thighs, his palm resting on your left one before he gently lifted your leg over his shoulder. the new position made you feel things you never felt before.
“oh fuck fuck - shit” you moaned, more tears streaming down your face.
“is it okay mi amor?”
“yes fuck - more than okay…” he smiled.
“i’ll give you something else to scream for…” you whined at the lack of attention when he removed his fingers from you. his tip slowly teased your entrance, collecting your juices and gently pushing in “you were made for me mi amor…”
“right there please damian…fuck” you were heaven for him. your eyes closed, mouth open, tears streaming down your face, your hands and nails leaving marks into his back while he was slowly pounding into you, teasing you and making you feel all of his glory.
his hand went back to your thigh, holding it like his life depended on it. he loved every minute of that action “i can feel you’re close mi amor, come for me…”
“i need you to go faster please…” you gently asked him like he told you to and he happily obliged, hitting that spot faster and harder “damian fuck…” his movements were enough to make you cum on the spot.
he couldn’t keep it any longer and he spilled himself into you. what a sight seeing his cum coming out of you.
“fuck…you’re so beautiful, let me take a picture…” and he took a few pictures. the first one was you with open legs and his cum dripping from your pussy, the second one were your tits covered in a big purple bruise, your nipples still hard from the stimulation and the third one was you, your face, eyes closed and tears on your cheeks “these are my new favourite pictures” he said making you laugh.
when you came down from your high, you slightly move to sit on the bed and in that moment you saw red marks and hickeys everywhere. you didn’t mind your tits that much but the one on your thigh was huge “damian…”
“what? i didn’t leave any visible marks” he smiled looking at the pictures.
“this one…”
“no one has to see your thighs” he smirked.
“shit it’s huge…i will have to wear long pants”
“it’s a family show anyway, kids won’t be looking at your ass, dads will but i’m pretty sure it’s clear who you belong to…” he smirked at you, you joked punching his arm.
“what are you gonna do with the pictures?” you asked him. it wasn’t nothing new for you to take pictures of yourselves after or in the middle of sex, but you saw damian opening the chat with a specific person “damian?”
“he has to see who do you belong to” he smirked.
you honestly didn’t mind, in fact, it made you proud seeing damian so proud of it. so you agreed with him to send the pictures to la knight.
“he can watch but he can’t have you…” he said before pressing send.
mine, all mine he wrote before sending the pictures do la knight.
so, while la knight was shocked and terrified by damian at the same time, you were happily asleep in his big arms.

It's not about hating harry, it's about the arrogance he's shown since he started his solo career.
don’t you think it’s unfair that Liam keeps getting dragged through all these horrible rumors in the press, and Harry not wanting to be part of a tribute just to protect his career seems selfish? And if the rumors about him releasing new music in April are true, it’s only going to make him look like a hypocrite.
ok… you wanna talk about it? let’s talk about it. anon, a very big welcome to the show which has had quite the break recently. but we back on tour!
I think everything in the media and the whole thing that happened with Liam is fucking disgraceful. I know I don’t talk about it much, but that’s mainly because it makes me feel physically ill and I don’t wanna start having people in my inbox start shit with me about Liam. I miss him dearly every day and he didn’t deserve to pass and he didn’t deserve all the hate and all the absolutely disgusting behaviour that “fans” and the media put him through.
I don’t think it’s fair at all how any of those boys have been treated in the media since the break. I think Louis, Niall, Zayn and Liam were all at a disadvantage with harry having been groomed from the 1d days by the Azoffs and them being prepared to give him everything they could if he walked away from the band. I despise the Azoffs and while they are incredibly successful, they are incredibly successful because they’re assholes. They are money hungry and saw an opportunity and took it. That’s the nature of the job and the nature of the industry. You don’t get anywhere by being polite.
I think the article from the Sun is no different than the consistent “harry is better off solo” shit we’ve seen in the media for the past 8ish years. I think it’s ridiculous to believe anything from the Sun, and they’re jumping on the back of the 1d reunion rumours a few days before the Brits for some clout and clicks. 99% of that article is mainly talking about how Harry’s team thinks it’s a bad idea and what they have to say about it, with no direct quote from harry himself (but a very chatty “source” instead!).
I think he’s been consistently marketed as “better” than 1d, and of course they have that angle, because it’s what gets people listening. It’s literally to get him more famous. That article says something about how he’s worked so hard to have now earned “respect and credibility” as if 1d weren’t respected or credible because they were a boyband. Which is what boybands have always been viewed as. It’s the same formula we have seen time and time again. 1 successful breakout star, the rest left behind. “He would never go back, that’ll be a step back in his career!! Stop the rumours!! We have more money to make off him!! He will never be a successful solo star again if he goes back!!! It’ll halt his whole career!! It’ll look like a money grab!! No one will take him seriously anymore!!” which is…….
Kinda true in a bit of a roundabout way. Solo harries will spontaneously combust and be upset with him, of course they will, and it would be extremely tricky to have this done right without looking like he’s losing credibility or whatever other shit they wanna spew. I think if harry did a big interview explaining what 1d meant to him and that he’d love to do it to honour the fans and the boys and how he got to where he is now and assure everyone he’s not stopping his solo career, maybe it’d calm them down. If he genuinely doesn’t give a fuck and goes against what his team has to say about it, it’ll be an absolute power move but yes, it will look like a money grab. And it’ll look like a money grab if any of the other boys agree to do it. To “boost their fame” and then another article about a vendetta or whatever comes out.
And you know what this boils down to at its very core? This absolute fucking bullshit about “losing credibility” if he were to go back? This shit about boybands?
It’s about misogyny. It’s about young girls “not knowing what good music is”. About swooning and wanting to date boyband members. About how silly they are because all they can see is hot boys. About how hysterical the fanbase is. About how “boybands don’t put in the work, they just have to look pretty”. About how they don’t get credibility because a bunch of straight dudes who think they know what “good” music is don’t like them. And it’s been an ongoing theme since the beginning of boybands, my friend. It’s easy to make money off a boyband, and that’s why they’re created. But, they’re never taken seriously.
Anyway, young girls run this damn music industry, by the way. Young girls keep the pop genre running. They keep these artists afloat. And they have done nothing but keep harry going since 1d ended, and (most) continue to support the other boys in their own careers. It is no different being a fan of an artist to being a fan of a sports team. Hell, those guys keep the sports industry running, and they’re more hysterical (and way more violent) than we’ll ever be.
My point is, that boybands don’t get taken seriously because young girls don’t get taken seriously. But we are the driving force behind pop music. And until there is some recognition and a tip of a hat to 1d for everything they went through and their work ethic, some good media, a fucking doco, SOMETHING, his team is gonna advise him not to go back. Hell, they will still advise against it, but hopefully he can make his own decisions throughout this renegotiation/change of management/label and be able to do the things he wants to do. I hope he speaks up. And he has a fuckton of power to change things, and that’s why his managers freak out.
Okay, well, final notes and if you got this far, congrats. Maybe there will be an encore sometime. But my point is that none of those boys would’ve been advised to go back if they were in harrys shoes. If Louis had run the same career as harry, did the exact same thing as harry to a T, people would be hating on him too. It’s the same formula any team would run with any of the boys if they had been the “frontman” of the band. It’s the same formula that’s been pushed on every boyband ever. It’s the same thing every fucking time and it’s so damn disappointing.

dave lizewski, i’m so into you. (pt. 2)
summary: you say something unexpected about Kick-Ass while discussing with your friends which hero you prefer the most.. Kick-Ass? Or Red Mist? little did Dave know or so you thought, you knew it was him all along..
a/n: i have an OC named Melilah who will be your best friend in this imagine, this only has fluff and comedy, there are some inappropriate jokes, and thats it i think! i also didn't proofread this so like... yeah happy reading :)
(pairing: dave lizewski x fem!reader) link to pt. 1
word count: 1.6k
now playing: boyfriend (with Social House)
♫ 'Cause I know we be so complicated But we be so smitten, it's crazy I can't have what I want, but neither can you ♫
the lyrics echoing throughout the store,
“well- for one i think Kickass is wayy cuter, i’d fuck his brains out if i got the chance.” you say out of your thoughts completely regretting saying the said statement- “Really?” Dave says out of nowhere, observing the conversation from behind your booth.
♫ But you ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend) And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend) But you don't want me to touch nobody else (Nobody) Baby, we ain't gotta tell nobody ♫
“okay wrap it up you two.” Todd interrupts
you really didn't know what to do at that point, i mean- what else would you do?
Dave takes a seat beside you—you think to yourself, 'ah, so this is what Todd and Marty were planning…' ...not knowing your best friend was in on it too
Melilah was rambling something about Red Mist to Todd and Marty, you couldn't care less since it wasn't about Kick-Ass “what you said, did you mean it?” Dave asking you, you almost break your neck by looking at him “wait- what yes what no, huh?”
Dave tilts his head looking confused at your reply, chuckling a bit “well, maybe, i guess? i mean, who wouldn't want to…?” you say nervously, your palms and toes are practically sweating at his question
“so, uh is that why you've been avoiding me these past few days? because you find Kick-Ass more attractive than me?” smirking in attempt to tease you, but you didn't take the hint, and instead you fumble on your words by saying “no- you are very attractiv- i mean, Kick-Ass is very attractive, well- not really? i keep my options open” you sigh trying to catch your breath, but Dave doesn't look the slightest upset. instead he was just looking at you in amusement, recalling the previous days.
4 days earlier
“how come nobody has ever tried to be a superhero?” Dave asks Todd and Marty sitting at the same booth spot, “boy.. i dunno! probably because it's fucking impossible, dipshit!” Marty says while Todd just laughs “what? putting a mask and helping people, how's that impossible?” Dave says trying to defend his question
“that's not superhero, though. how's that super? super's like being stronger than everybody and flying and shit. that's just hero” Todd explains
“no, it's not even hero. it's just fucking psycho.”
Dave Lizewski knew at that moment that his goal was to become the first real life superhero. as soon as Dave opened his parcel for his Kick-Ass 'superhero suit', he goes to find his first mission as a superhero, which was to fight bad guys right? haaah.... that actually didn't turn out so well- *PUNCH*
“AHHHHH” Dave screams after making 4 guys faint that were trying to beat up a guy in front of the convenience store, “what the fuck just happened.” he says assessing the situation he was just in. he looks around his surroundings and realize the amount of people recording the fight “holy shit, I DID IT!” he shouts at the top of his lungs, he just felt so unstoppab- “AHHHHHHHH” Dave screams, again but IN TERROR. he was just about to fall off a ledge, barely hanging on. who knew saving a cat would be this hard? "FUCK YOU MR. BITEY!" *THUD*
Dave hits the ground, HARD. “aggghh.. FUCK.” he checks whether his back was okay-then if his phone was fine or not. looking at his screen & it was ALMOST 7PM. “shit, it's almost past my curfew! i cannot STAND pretending to be like i'm some sort of superhero anymore.” he stomps on the ground walking fast into a dark alleyway, he notices there was someone standing beside the lamp pole but who cares. all he could think of was giving up, what kind of superhero would be able to beat up 4 guys but can't even save a CAT? he removes his mask out of frustration, partially still angry at Mr. Bitey, but then a faint gasp is heard—his eyes darting towards the pole. it was you. sounds of quick footsteps tip-tap-tip-tap quickly fading away. "WAIT!-" Dave shouts, “i- oh god..”
it was the next day in school, he already saw how the videos from the convenience store was spreading in the news, but most importantly was what did you think? "hey y/n-" you quickly pass by him in the halls, his heart stung at the sight of you trying to ignore him. during classes, he would be staring at you- like, FULL BLOWN staring at you with such sadness in his eyes. what he felt for you was different, he didn't know what it was. before you both became friends, he would always notice the little details about you during class.
you were always fidgeting with your pencil, or doodling on your notebook, the way you squint your eyes at the white board when you couldn't see what the teacher wrote, he found you so endearing. after being paired up to work on a major project for one of your classes, it was like he won the entire universe. so now seeing you ignore him made it feel like his life just crumbled apart
"are you sure this is going to work? i don't think y/n is going to fall for this, you always come to the hangouts its going to be obvious that we're lying…"
"dude, you should just talk to her and ask her whats up? what'd you even do to make her avoid you man??"
"stop it- it's, privat-"
"oh my god. they probably kissed and she ran away because Dave was a shitty kisser ohhhhh GOD. i can envision it! why did you have to do that????"
"first of all, we did not kiss. AND I AM A GOOD KISSER! i just need Melilah to convince y/n to hang out with you guys in Comic Atomics but tell her that i'm not coming, then i'll hide behind the booth then just ask her what she thinks about Kick-Ass-"
"why does it have to be specifically Kick-Ass though..?" the three of them look at Dave expecting an answer, Dave really wanted to know what you thought about him- well, about his alter ego, Kick-Ass, but you couldn't just tell your friends that was the reason
"guys... just do this... for me... as a friend.. I swear i'll pay you guys back- ANYTHING."
"anything?"
"anything."
Dave slowly watches the conversation unfold in front of him, “guys what do you think of Kickass?” Melilah asks subtly looking at Dave behind you to wonder if she's following the plan right. Todd and Marty then expressed who they liked more, which was Red Mist which lowkey made Dave sad but once he heard your reply his eyes saw stars, the whole world, the universe, his whole life was lifted- “well- for one i think Kickass is wayy cuter, i’d fuck his brains out if i got the chance.” you say, your words were ECHOING IN HIS BRAIN.... 'she... thinks... i'm cute...wait...SHE'DFUCKME?'
"Really?" he says, trying to keep his cool when in reality he was screaming internally.
during the whole hangout you could feel Dave's stares at you, grinning like he was the luckiest man alive yet you both weren't even together "jeez man stop glaring at her, you're going to make her run away again!" Melilah pointed out keeping the rest of the time there light, and your worries were all gone.
it was almost 5pm when you all said your goodbyes, "can I walk you home?" Dave asked, hoping for you to say yes "yeah, i'd like that." the walk home was silent but the silence was, comforting. "you know about it, don't you?" you pretend to look confused at his question "oh don't pretend now.." he said, you both started giggling
"well what do i know Mr. Lizewski?"
"maybe the fact that you saw me falling from a height in attempt to save a cat, perhaps?"
"oh that was you?" you jokingly say, he stopped walking in his tracks- baffled
"PFFT i was just kidding- come here" you both walk towards your house, walking at the same footstep rate. still laughing, reminiscing what happened. "for what its worth, i think it was cool that you tried saving... what's the name? Mr. Bitey? that was very brave of you" you chuckled. you both finally arrived at your front yard "well, why thank you y/n. i think it was very brave of you as well to follow the green stranger"
your laughs died down while you both looked into each other's eyes, he's admiring your features and you're admiring his. it was silent for a few seconds until he asked, "why'd you runaway? why'd you avoid me?" you didn't know what to say, while avoiding his eyes you say "i was scared, i was contemplating my.." you sigh while he looks at you with hopeful eyes. "i discovered that i like yo-" he cuts you off, feeling the warmth of his lips while he hugs your waist. you both begin to laugh again, his hands still around your waist. "i liked you ever since-" he says until you both hear your name being shouted from your house
"Y/N I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW YOU WERE ALWAYS WITH THAT PRETTY BOY!!!"
"MOM I SWEAR ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS!!!" you peck his cheek, you whisper a quick 'i’msointoyo- imeantalktoyoutomorrowbye' winking back at him while running back into your house "moooommm let me explain wait-"
Dave turns around, starstruck, walks away feeling fulfilled. he didn't need to become a superhero, you were already one to him
a/n: ok i kinda cringed typing the last part but i ran out of ideas 🫠 thanks for reading!
