DPXDC: I wanna be like most girls ghosts.
or Danny: What should I do to make my mom happy?
or ~Danny deserves a little teenage rebellion as a treat~
Maddie: I just want this damned Phantom to stop pretending to be a hero! All ghosts are pure evil, who is he trying to deceive? Danny: Oh, really? And Danny took it personally.
Itâs not Dannyâs fault that heâs a good kid and wants to make his parents happy. But why would he have to be a monster to make them happy? Why must they hate him to be happy?
Dannyâs obsession was going crazy.
Well, when your own parents call you a monster in the face, it hurts. Why do they always believe that only their opinion is the absolute truth? They have no idea how much worse things would be if at least some of the ghosts really behaved the way Maddie and Jack think theyâre supposed to. If he really is evil by nature, is there any point in fighting his own fate? They want to see him as a villain, he will become one. He will. He just needs a little help and practice. And not bring it to the level when Clockwork has to clean up his mess. Poor guy is without a vacation for how long? Couple of millennia?
Johnny 13: Sup. Danny: F*ck off, Johnny, Iâm not in the mood. Busy thinking about world domination. Get out of here or Iâll call Kitty. Johnny 13: Whatâs wrong? Youâre usually so grouchy only towards the end of the week. Danny: Nothing. Just parents. Again. They are wonderful but I canât help but feel sometimes that they, em⊠Johnny 13: Suck? Danny: RightâŠDamn. Iâm a terrible son. Maybe something is wrong with me. Johnny 13: What? No, no, dude. Youâre just growing up. And youâre a little late, usually teenagers go through that stage before they graduate. Well, youâve probably been busy with other issues, so just missed it. Danny: I wonder whose fault it is. Arenât there ghosts who enjoyed to ruin my life in the middle of school day?
Johnny 13: Oh, bother. Anyway, youâre entering a beautiful time of emancipation, where youâre going to shape your own view of life and, along the way, to get drunk on cheap alcohol at parties, maybe to go to jail and to become the greatest disappointment to your family..And then you will be ashamed to remember it for about the next ten years. Danny: Well, it looks like Iâve already done two out of three additional things. Great success. Johnny 13: When did you get drunk? Danny: I didnât. Johnny 13: Oh. Want to fix that? Danny: What? No. What an idiot wants to add a headache to his problems? Johnny 13: Well, your loss, then Iâll go terrorize the bars of Gotham alone and no one can stop me. Letâs see what your boyfriend will say about it. ~~~~~ Danny: Bartender, another shot of Dead Manâs Fingers, please. Red Hood: Babe, havenât you had enough? Danny: Have you ever felt that no matter how hard you try, no matter how many sacrifices you make, in their eyes youâll always be nothing more than a monster? Nothing more than a mistake? Oh, Death doesnât give people like me a break. Red Hood: âŠIâll have what heâs having. *gives the bartender a sign to switch the rum shots to a batburger milkshake for them, and starts talking to Danny so that he doesnât understand Hood's scams*
~~~~~
Johnny 13: Other peopleâs kids are growing up so fast. It seems like yesterday he didnât know how to shoot ectoblast, and now.. Kitty: Stop trying to make me feel bad, weâre leaving. Johnny 13: But the boy needs our support, honey boo!
~~~~~
Danny: I'm fine. Really, I am. This isnât the first time momâs called me a monster. She often called me that when she was upset with my behavior in my childhood. Huh, it's even funny. Jason: Thereâs nothing funny about that. Danny: No, you donât understand. Looking back, I was really a very active child and didnât know when to stop. Not surprisingly that I often annoyed my parents. Theyâre very busy people, and Jazz couldnât always keep an eye on me. And I was often afraid to go to sleep alone because there were shadows in the darkness of my room. Well, I used to think they were. But I pretended everything was okay to not distract parents from work. Jason: Hey, itâs not your fault. You were a child. Obviously, kiddo requires a lot of attention, they must have understood that. You are the second child in the family, right? Danny: Well, Jazz was different. I donât know. Anyway, I thought if the monsters behind the curtain and under the bed were just like me, well, according to my mom, you know, then they wouldnât want to hurt me. And since they look after me, they are friends. So I kinda greeted all the suspicious noises and howls. Huh, I was a strange kid. Jason: If you smile at someone in the dark alley right now that someone is more likely to wet themselves or faint. Danny: Rude! Iâm not that scary. Admit that Iâm adorable. Do it right now. Jason: Stunning, darling. But still carry a gun and a knife, please. My childhood taught me that what's hiding in the dark is worth beating up. Danny: Come on, what should I be afraid of? Death? Anyway, I want to try this shit. Like, the inevitable one. Being a bad boy, you know? Hood *raises eyebrows*. Danny: Oh damn it man, I'm talking about ghostliness. I want to try to be like most of dead ones. I want to unleash my side of the trickster and the villain. But only a little bit. I have to be supervised so that things don't go too far. Would you help me, honey?
~~~~~2 hours later~~~~
~~~~~
Goons used to expect a lot of weirdness from working with the boss.
Sometimes Bruce Wayne would go into their base and yell at the Red Hood like he's one of his kids. Of course Wayne's well-known as 'Gotta adopt them all' but the guy must really suffer from insomnia to count the Red Hood into his brood of chicks several times. Sometimes the boss would fight Robin or Nightwing over differences in moralsâŠor for biscuits. It varied from moment to moment. Sometimes the boss caught the local street children, fed them and taught them to steal correctly. And most of the foundlings stayed with them under their protection.
To make a long story short, Red Hood is not the typical crime lord that some of them had to deal with before. Which is a blessing. Thanks Lord for the health insurance. But still the crime lord. Which means he's still scary, and sometimes deadly.
Anyway, when the boss brought in a guy who looked more civilian than any civilian in the whole Gotham and said he was going to be their intern, they thought it was a joke at first. Despite the fact that Hood was not in the habit of joking while working.
The teenager was too well-mannered and sweet to come from Crime Alley. Phil thought the guy was gonna run when he saw the first murder, Jessica didnât think the domestic boy wouldnât chicken out at the sight of a fight. But arguing with a bossâs orders in their profession is like asking for a bullet in the head, so these conversations were taking place outside of their boss's sight. God, how can they teach him anything? What do you take from a boy whoâs only good to do the coffee run? Fenton will fall if theyâll give him something heavier than 10 pounds. And then boss will yell at them because he treats the new guy like a princess on a pea. Well, at least thatâs what they thought until the boss decided to give the new guy his own assignments:
~~~~~
Red Hood: So, what have you learned during your internship, my young Padawan? Danny: Well, it looks like Iâm gonna suck at being a criminal mastermind. I think I may have to find myself some other profession. Red Hood: Come on, you just need a little more practice. Danny: Thank you but I donât think thatâs fit my obsession that good. Don't misunderstand me, I wanna be like most ghosts. But I was wrong to go to hit that goal only base on human stereotypes about my nature. Red Hood: What a pity. The newbies just learned not to flinch when you walk in. But, to be honest, I'm not gonna miss the adrenaline-boosting roller coaster of you at work. Danny: Oh, and I guess to hold on to the concept of humanity was really stupid too. I clearly no longer fit in and Iâm finally ready to accept that. So, hopefully, if you get into trouble, you can rely on my ghostliness and call for help. I am the spirit of many talents and of my word. I can haunt your enemies or walk through the walls of Arkham Asylum. Whatever you need, Iâll be here. Red Hood: Iâll bear that in mind.

hello! im not sure if your request is still open, but do you mind to write a drabble of jaemin slowly corrupting an innocent gf? it starts with casual back massage at first and she says that her breasts are sore before her menstrual period. as a good bf, of course he "helps" her and things escalating from there into heavy fuck and overstimulation
w!: corruption kink, dubcon + light manipulation (DONâT read if it makes you uncomfortable), nipple/boobs play, fingering, oral (f receiving), unprotected s*x, first time, overstimulation
a/n: jaemin and corruption kink is a concept i love but i donât think i delivered it the best with this one. i hate drabbles okay? i have to keep things short and i suck at it, but i also wasnât in the mood to write too much so i hope this is good anyway (if you want something else similar to this thereâs drippinâ, itâs not only with jaemin but it gets the corruption kink better, and nana is unhinged in that fic so...)
âThatâs because your period is close, baby,â Jaemin coos while his hands keep rubbing on your bare back, heâs sitting on top of you, trying not to weigh much.Â
âHow do you know?â You pout, cheek pressed against the sofa as you try to look back at him.Â
âI just know, babe,â he snickers, hands creeping lower on your back, brushing against your ass, making your body heat up.Â
âBut they still hurt so much, theyâre so sore,â you cry out, trying to fight the embarrassment of having him so close while youâre half naked. Itâs not the first time Jaemin massages your back since you often suffer back pain, but, usually, you would let him rub your skin with your shirt on, this time, he insisted you would take it off, so he could use cream and warm your muscles more.Â
âI can help you with that.âÂ
You freeze for a moment, mouth parting in surprise. âReally? You can? How? The pills never do anything for me.âÂ
âHoney,â he chuckles, ânot with pills. With these,â he says, shaking his hands in the air.Â
âOh,â you breathe out, nervously pressing your lips in a thin line while you try to avoid his piercing gaze, gulping nervously as you think of the implications. âIt will pass.âÂ
âBabe, come on, itâs me,â he says, leaning on top of you, caging you under him, âat least turn around, it will only hurt more if you stay like this.âÂ
âBut â but you will see them,â you utter shyly.Â
âSo? Youâre my girlfriend.âÂ
You think about it for a while, torturing your lower lip between your teeth, but when the pain gets too much, you give up. âFine.âÂ
âDonât cover them.â Jaemin reaches your hands that are cupping your breast and pin them on top of your head. Your eyes go wild, and something youâve never seen before sparks in your boyfriendâs eyes. âTheyâre so pretty, baby. Itâs a shame it took you so long to show them to me.âÂ
You donât reply, feeling so small and with no idea of what to do, so you trust him, letting him do what he knows â surely better than you.Â
âTheyâre so soft, princess,â he hums while his hands gently fondle them, making your body go stiff at the first touch. âHey, relax, it will feel good,â he whispers, flashing you a toothy smile that makes you forget for a second whatâs going on.Â
âWhy â why are my nipples hard?â You dare to question when you feel them erect, and then shyly look down to see them perk up.Â
âBecause you feel good.âÂ
âBut I feel like theyâre still sore and I feel like even my nipples hurt now.â
âPoor baby, youâre all sore today, arenât you? Youâre lucky you have me to make you feel better,â he pouts, kissing you.Â
Youâre about to reply but the words leave your mouth â and brain â when your boyfriendâs lips wrap around one of your sensitive buds. Your lips move to call out his name but when he starts sucking on it, you go speechless again.Â
âDonât look at me like that,â he mumbles when he moves to the other, hands still massaging your sore boobs, âIâm doing this for you, babe.âÂ
You hum, head rolling back in a natural reaction when his thumb brushes over the sensitive nipple he doesnât have in his mouth. âI feel weird.âÂ
âYou feel good,â Jaemin reassures you, âsee? Itâs working already.âÂ
Your eyes snap open when you feel his fingers press between your legs as the other hand keeps taking care of your boobs.Â
âDoes it hurt here, too, babe?âÂ
âIt doesnât hurt, it feels â I donât know how to explain, okay, maybe it hurts a little.âÂ
âPoor you, falling apart today?â He jokes lightly, leaving a soft kiss in the hollow of your chest. âI really have to make you feel better, I guess.âÂ
Youâre focused on the new feeling of his fingers rubbing between your sensitive spot when you feel something against your leg that distracts you. âWhatâs pressing on my leg?âÂ
âDo you want to see?âÂ
âUhm.âÂ
âOh, that, I ââ you chuckle embarrassed when he gets rid of his pants and underwear, âI donât think Iâm supposed to be seeing that.âÂ
âWhy not? Iâm your boyfriend,â he says, tilting his head to the side, âwould it be equal if you showed me yours, too?âÂ
âNo, I donât think we â we should be doing this,â you try to complain but itâs all in vain when his hands tug down your shorts and your panties, exposing you.Â
âWhy? Itâs natural, princess. It will feel good.âÂ
âBut itâs intimate,â you whisper, âand weird.âÂ
He raises his brow. ïżœïżœïżœHave you ever done it?âÂ
You shake your head. âNo, I mean, no, no I havenât.âÂ
âThen trust me. I made you feel better even before, didnât I?âÂ
âYeah, fi-fine.âÂ
When you give him the go, his fingers and lips are on you, touching you and kissing your skin until he reaches your core. Your first reaction is to close your legs, but Jaemin keeps them wide open and pushes his head between them with no hesitation.Â
You feel weird, it is too intimate, too dirty, but all your fears and doubts disappear when his mouth wraps around your pussy. You hold in a scream and look down in curiosity, drifting your gaze as soon as you meet his piercing eyes staring straight into you.Â
âNana,â you cry out when his fingertips rub against your opening, smearing the spit and your wetness around.Â
âI have to get you ready for the big thing, babe. Donât want you to hurt,â he says, pushing a finger inside your tight pussy, eliciting a broken moan from you. âShh, itâs alright, relax, remember Iâm here to take care of you, alright?âÂ
So you focus on the sensation, feeling something build up inside of you when he adds another finger and starts moving them, curling them inside, occasionally making you squirm more, while his mouth keeps working on you.Â
âWeird,â you mumble when you feel like that strange sensation is about to blow up, but Jaemin doesnât tell you much other than âlet go to the feeling,â so you listen another time, and before you realize, you come. Itâs strong and something you never felt before, even weird, but you like it. âWait, why are you â why are you not stopping?âÂ
âI told you, I need you to be ready.â Â
âFor whaââ your words die down when his other hand reaches for your chest, folding your boobs as he keeps going with his fingers and mouth, bringing you to the edge another time, faster than you expect.Â
âDoes it hurt?â You ask when he starts stroking his hard dick and you canât help but stare even if it feels dirty.Â
âSo much, babe. I need you to take care of it for me.âÂ
âI can help you? Do you want me to massage it?âÂ
Jaemin chuckles, shaking his head. âNah, I have a better idea. Open your legs, honey.âÂ
âHow will this â oh,â you gasp when you feel the thick tip of his cock against your hole. âWill it hurt?âÂ
âNo, thatâs why I made you come twice, and Iâm going slow. I will never hurt you.â And he stays true to that, letting you get used to his size when he bottoms in, throwing his head back after watching your face twitch at the feeling. Only when heâs sure youâre okay, he starts moving, slow thrusts as he holds himself back, getting lost in the whimpers and moans you try so hard to muffle.Â
But that tender feeling lasts about after the first orgasm â the third for you. After that, you feel something pushing you forward, and you donât know if itâs worst your eagerness to feel more or his pent-up greed for all those months he didnât have you.Â
The second fuck itâs rough, messy, and needy, with your hands desperately looking for the other, and your innocent façade falling apart. It feels unnatural to hear you beg for more, to let out dirty words and curses, but Jaemin loves it so much that youâre falling apart in his hold.Â
Jaemin is still sweet somehow, reassuring you and praising you, whispering to your ears that youâre being such a good girl for taking him so well.
âDonât stop,â you cry out when you both come another time, spurts of white filling you to the brim again. âPlease.âÂ
âSo greedy. What happened to my pure angel? Itâs not nice to hide part of you from your boyfriend,â he mocks but keeps fucking into you.Â
You donât reply, too ashamed to even look into his eyes, but he harshly cups your chin and forces you to keep eye contact.Â
âDonât act shy, thereâs nothing wrong with it,â he smirks, kissing your pouty lips, âwe all have dirty secrets.âÂ
Youâd argue yours is not a secret, but simply something youâve never experienced before, but you have no strength left.Â
âToo much,â you whimper.Â
âOh, no, princess, now you take what you asked for.âÂ
Jaemin doesnât stop, not even letting you breathe for a second, big dick fucking you deep and fast, making your body tremble and your head feel light, while his fingers move skilfully on your aching, throbbing clit, sending you over the edge more times than you can take.Â
And by the time he is done with you, you lost count of how many times you came, too tired to do anything else but stay in his arms and enjoy his soft kisses on your skin.Â
âDid so well, babe. Are you feeling better?âÂ
You nod weakly, hiding in the crook of his neck, feeling conscious again. âYeah.âÂ
âSee, I told you I would take care of you. You always have to trust me.â

Pulse đ
Summary: Bucky can hear your heartbeat through the wall, and he can tell everything isnât alright.
Pairing: Bucky x gn!Reader
Words: 600 (exactly 600, holy moly)
Warnings: None really, just mentions of anxiety and adhd. Wrote this within an hour, sorry if its bad
A/N: Self indulgent fic alert! This goes out to all my peeps who struggle with ADHD/anxiety. It sucks, but hang in there!
Divider credit: @saradika
Knock. Knock. Knock.
âCome in,â you called, not looking up from the papers on your desk.
A brief second passed, and the door creaked open. A cautious Bucky peeked his head in.
âHey, are you okay?â He asked.
You suddenly became aware of your leg bouncing 70 miles an hour, and forced yourself to stop.Â
âYes, why?â You replied, ignoring the urge to get up and walk around.
âWell, Iââ he hesitated, and brought his hand to rub the back of his neck, âI was passing by and I heard your heartbeat going really fastâsuper hearing and all that,â he awkwardly chuckled.
â120,â you stated, glancing at your watch.
âWhat?â
âMy heart rate is 120 right now.â
âThatâs pretty high for just sitting,â he responded, having a hard time hiding his concern.
âWell, yâknow, anxiety,â you breathily laughed, but it wasnât that funny.
âWhat are you anxious about? If you donât mind me asking.â
âNothing.â You sighed, lowering your pen and facing him. At this point he was now in your room, perched in front of your door.
âDoesnât seem like nothing.â
âSeriously, Iâm kinda freaking out over nothing right now.â
âCâmon, youâre always telling me Iâm valid for having concerns, you are too.â
âNo, I mean there is literally no singular thing Iâm anxious about right nowâitâs just physical anxiety, the general feeling that Iâm going crazy, or dying, I donât know, both I guess. That sounds so dramatic. I really am fine. I mean, Iâm not fine, but I am, yeah?â You rambled on and on, and cursed yourself when you noticed your leg had started bouncing again.
âI donât think youâre okay, do you want me to bring you to Dr. Cho?â
âThatâs sweet of you, but I donât think thereâs much she can do. The worst of this should pass in thirty minutes anyway, itâs just my meds.â
âOh.âÂ
You could tell Bucky wanted to ask more, but wasnât sure if it was polite.
âI have ADD. ADHD, whatever you want to call it. So I take medicine so I can focus on certain tasks, like these reports. And it does help me focus, but itâs also a stimulant, so it also gives me a lot of anxiety, which is totally awesome!â You scoffed.
âWhy do you keep stopping your leg from bouncing?â
âI donât know, I donât want to annoy you.â
âIf bouncing your leg makes you feel better, it doesnât bother me.â
âI feel like Iâm embarrassing myself,â you whined.Â
Beep.
You looked at your watch.
âOh, look at that, 126!â
âDo youâwouldâŠwould a hug be something that would help you? Calm you down?â He offered, casually putting his arms out for emphasis.
âSure, Bucky,â you smiled, and stood up to meet him halfway. You knew it wouldnât fix it, but it certainly couldnât hurt.
Bucky wrapped you in a big embrace, and you were shocked by how warm and teddy-like it was. You gave a small sigh, and rested your face in his neck, knowing you werenât going to be the first to let go.
He held onto you for longer than you expected, just calmly swaying together in your room.Â
To your dismay, he eventually let go of you. You were about to thank him and return to your work, but he gently grabbed your wrist and brought your watch to his sight.Â
â107. Good, but I think we can do better than that,â he sweetly smiled, and wrapped you back up into his arms.Â
âIt might take a while.â You mumbled into his shirt.
âAs long as it takes.â He cooed.
A/N: Should be either A) studying for a history exam I have tmw, or B) writing my stupid essay that the rough draft is due tmw, but I wrote this instead bc Iâm procrastinating HELP ME

You Belong With Me | Eddie Munson
pairing: Modern!Eddie Munson X Fem Reader
summary: Part 2--Eddie gets a special visit...but it hurts more than it helps.
warnings: drug use, language, mentions of cheating, sad Eddie
word count: 4.2k
a/n:Â I've estimated about 7 or so parts to this series and I will be working on them for the next couple of weeks.
*******NOT MY GIF, CREDIT TO OWNERS*******
âYeah Iâm coming!â Eddie says from his room, getting up from his bed and pressing the butt of his blunt into the ashtray on the nightstand. He had been laying in bed, listening to Ozzy, smoking and drinking a beer after he got back from the basketball game a little while ago.
He was pissed at you for yelling at him earlier and bailing on him when it was so out of character for you to do so. But it was nice just sitting under the bleachers alone, oogling the love of his life. Another knock comes as he exits his room, âI said Iâm coming-â He swings the front door open and it reveals a sad and red eyed Chrissy.
âShit Chrissy, are- are you okay?â Eddie steps aside and allows her to enter the trailer.
âHey Eddie. Sorry to just come over unannounced and all,â Her voice is strained but steady, as if sheâs used to speaking after crying.
âNo no itâs fine. Whatâs going on?â He walks over to the couch and sits down, Chrissy following after.
âJason and I got into a big fight after the game tonight,â Eddieâs ears burn at the thought of Jason being a dick to such a sweet girl then return to normal after thinking about the fight he just had with you, âAnd I couldnât be around him anymore so I went for a walk. I thought about things on the way then noticed that I was almost to here and decided to stop by.â
Eddieâs surprised at the words coming from her. She thought of him and decided to stop by, could this be his lucky day?
âAw Iâm sorry that sucks. What can I do to help? Do you need me to go beat him up? Cause I will, Iâll do it right now.â His tone is upbeat and happy but he means every word.
A smile creeps onto Chrissyâs face showing her perfect teeth, âNo, no. Nothing like that. I was just wondering if you could, um,â She hesitates, nervous to ask the question.
Eddie puts a reassuring hand on her knee, this being the second time in 2 weeks that theyâve touched. âIâll do anything, just say the word.â His doe eyes wide and full of truth.
âCan I get some weed or pills or something? Iâve not been in the best headspace lately and I just need something to take the edge off.â
Those were not the words he thought she would say, not in a million years. His face grows warm, nervous about selling to Hawkinâs most famous IT girl. He needs the money but he feels bad for taking it from her, she doesnât look like sheâs taken anything stronger than a baby aspirin in her life, and now she wants weed or pills.
âAre- are you sure? Have you ever smoked before?â She shakes her head, âI know I said anything but I donât know if I can,â
âOh,â Her head falls down, clearly disappointed at his words, âThatâs okay. It was stupid for me to come here anyway. Iâll get out of your hair, let you get back to whatever you were doing.â She stands up, hands running over her short skirt, both out of nervousness and to cover her ass.
Eddie shoots up quickly not wanting her to leave, âWait! I mean if you really want some weed then Iâll give you some but on one condition.â
Her baby blue irises meeting his dark brown ones, liek two oceans colliding, âWhat condition?â
âYou gotta smoke it with me. Canât have you choking to death after taking one puff incorrectly, so? We gotta deal?â He holds his hand out for her to shake, needing another form of touch with her.
âDeal.â Her tiny hand is engulfed in his, the warmth of her skin seeping into his palm.
Eddie tells Chrissy to stay in the living room while he goes and gets a joint and lighter from his room. Returning only a few seconds later he plops down on the couch, exhaling a loud sigh.
âSo Iâll start it off for you then Iâll show you how to take a hit correctly,â Chrissy nods at his words.
Eddie puts the blunt into his mouth, cupping his free hand around it to shield the imaginary wind as he lights it, taking a few short puffs just to get it started for her. Once heâs satisfied with his work he pulls it from his lips and hands it to her.
Chrissy looks at it weirdly, not even knowing how to hold it. Eddie notices this and opts to just guide the butt just past her lips, her strawberry lipgloss covering the paper. She looks at him every step of the way, not wanting to do it wrong.
âAlright now all youâre gonna do is breathe in slowly,â She follows his words, taking a slow, deep breathe in, âGood. Good, now,â He pulls his fingers and the blunt away from her lips, âHold it in for a second until you start to feel that burn in your chest, then exhale.â
She holds for a short second before falling into a coughing fit. Eddie goes to rub her back, soothing the burn he knows all too well from his past. She takes a little to regain her barings again before sitting back up and leaning into the worn out couch.
âOkay that is not as easy as you make it look,â Her voice is hoarse, which Eddie only finds attractive.
âDonât worry sweetheart, the more you do it the less it hurts,â He takes a long hit, letting the smoke fill his lungs for far too long.
âOkay then, guess Iâll have to try again then,â Eddie just nods and takes another hit before handing it back to her. She follows his steps the same way, only this time she isnât coughing up a lung.
âNice job. Youâre a natural.â Eddie smiles and the two of them sit there just enjoying the peace and sharing a smoke.
Once itâs down to its last little bit, Eddie puts it out and leans deep into the couch, spreading his legs wide in the process. He lays his arms over the back and looks up at the ceiling. Heâs always loved doing this after a good smoke, just sitting there, staring at the ceiling and allowing his mind to wander and eventually go blank.
Chrissy is sitting beside him still, more relaxed than before which brings a smile to Eddieâs lips. The room has been quiet for a while and Chrissy has a question that sheâs been meaning to ask.
âSo, why do you do it?â SHe says after clearing her throat a little.
âDo what?â He doesnât look at her, still focused on the ceiling above.
âWhy do you act the way you do? Why play that game and listen to that music? You do realize itâs not normal right?â This catches his attention, he brings his head up to look at her, her eyes drifting from his face to her lap where she fiddles with her hands.
âWhy are you with Jason when you know heâs sleeping with half the girls at the school?â Eddieâs feeling feisty now, not pleased with the sudden line of questioning.
âI asked you first.â Chrissy retorts back.
âI donât know what you mean. I act the way I do because thatâs who I am, and I play D&D because I find it fun and thrilling. Being normal âs just not for me, trust me on this one sweetheart.â
âBut it could be. If you tried, then you wouldnât have everyone staring at you and calling you a freak.â
âYeah but you forget one thing,â Eddieâs sitting up right now, hands on his knees as he gets closer to her. Her eyes are looking at him again, scanning his face quickly, almost worry in her eyes.
âWhatâs that?â Chrissyâs voice is small and weak, Eddieâs presence now intimidating as he gets right up in her face, a mere inch apart.
âI donât give a damn what people think.â Chrissy is staring into his eyes now, completely locked in and focused.Â
âYour turn, why Jason?â Eddie really is curious as to why sheâs with him, and he knowâs it canât only be for the social status, âAnd donât say because heâs captain of the laundry basket game.â
âItâs called basketball and I wasnât going to say that. I like him because heâs sweet and kind and always does the best for others.â
Eddie canât believe the words she just used to describe him, âJason? Like Jason Carver, the one who bullies me relentlessly and judges people if they breathe the wrong way? That Jason?â
âYes Eddie, that Jason.âÂ
âBut how?â
âI know heâs not the best to be around during school but thatâs just because his dad is a jackass who wonât get off his back about basketball and his grades. Heâs stressed all the time and just needs a break. And when heâs with me heâs thi sweet guy who doesnât care what others think, just wanting to be the best he possibly can be.â
Eddie looks at her, mouth wide like a fish thatâs trying to get air after being pulled from the water. Never in his 20 years of life did he think that he would hear someone say those things about Jason, especially in his trailer! It felt like an out of body experience.
âCan I ask you another question?â Chrissy is looking at him, ignoring the stunned expression.
âUh sure. But this is the last one.â
âWhatâs up with you and y/n?â âNothing, why?â The hair on the back of Eddieâs neck stand up at the mention of you.
âI didnât se her with you today at the game and I was just curious. I mean you two are always together, even Jason and I donât spend that much time together. Guess you guys just have a good relationship.â
âWoah woah woah. Y/n and I arenât in a relationship. Sheâs just a friend.â
Chrissy gives him a quizzical look, not fully believing him, âUh huh, so you guys just carpool together and walk to classes together and eat lunch together because youâre friends?â
âYes. We do,â Eddie sits up straighter now, feeling like he has to assert dominance in this situation.
âOkay then. I was just wondering,â Chrissy is looking directly in his eyes now, analyzing the vast space of his irises.
His eyes are cool and calm, whilst hers are wide and a little curious. Eddieâs gaze dips from hers to her lips then back up again. Her lipgloss is pretty much gone, most of it on the end of the discarded blunt. They are soft and pink, not at all chapped and worn like his.
Eddieâs feeling bold and a little angry right now. Bold from the weed and angry at you for not believing that he could have Chrissy if he wanted to, so his next moves werenât quite thought out. So before either of them knows it his lips are on hers. Chrissy gasps into the kiss, it quickly being muffled by his mouth. She knows she should pull away, she knows she shouldnât be kissing anyone other than Jason, especially Eddie âThe Freakâ Munson, but his lips taste different and the way he holds himself is in high contrast from Jason.
So she leans in a little, giving back to what Eddie is giving her. They kiss for what feels like forever to Eddie but in actuality it was only a few seconds before she pulls away.
âI-â Chrissy tries to speak but the words fall silent on her tongue before she can even get them out.
âShit, Iâve been wanting to do that for so fucking long. Itâs even better than I imagined,â Eddie has his world famous grin on, happy to have finally made a move on his dream girl. He starts to lean back in for another kiss when one of Chrissyâs small hands touch his chest, pushing him back.
âWhat? Whatâs wrong?â Eddieâs concerned now.
âItâs, um, itâs Jason. I canât do this to him.â
âBut the guy is a jerk, you can do better than him,â Eddie puts his hand over the one onhis chest, âI can treat you better than he can.â
Her eyes are still downcast, not even daring a quick glace up to his. She slips her hand out from under his, letting it fall into her lap again. âEddie Iâm sorry. Really I am, but I canât. I love him, and he loves me.â
The words are like acid to Eddieâs ears, his face burning at the sound. His body goes numb as he falls back into the couch. Chrissy is talking but he canât understand her, being rejected is already too much to bear.
âYou should go.â His voice is cold, harsh; he barely recognizes it himself.
âYeah, um okay.â She gets up, gethers her things then rushes out the door. The sound loudly reverberating off the walls of the tin can Eddie calls a home.
He sits there. For a good 10 minutes he just sits there, thinking. Thinking about how he just kissed his dream girl, about how her lips felt on his, how good her lipgloss tasted on his tongue, how much he wishes it couldâve lasted longer, how he hates himself to doing it in the first place.
Eddieâs been dreaming of that moment since he was in 7th grade. He hoped she would be his first, in everything; first girlfriend, first kiss, first to have sex with him-he hoped for it all. Now heâs left sitting here, rejected and cold and alone.
What makes him feel worse is that he canât even go talk to the one person he knows would make him feel better because sheâs mad at him for something she was ultimately right about. He just wishes he could take this entire day back and start over.
---
All night you had been laying in bed and wracking your brain for all the possible ways to make it up to Eddie. Going through all these years of friendship the two of you share, thinking of all the things Eddie loves; weed, horror movies, milkshakes from Jayâs Diner, and the cookies you make.
You get up from your bed, the bright light of the rising sun peaking through your curtains. You could only sleep for a few hours that night, too afraid that you had ruined your best friendship. Throwing the blankets off yourself you get ready for the day, choosing comfort more than style.
An hour later you are standing in front of Eddieâs trailer, cookies and milkshakes in hand as you carry a bag of all his favorite horror movies you had just gotten from Family Video. You clock that Wayneâs truck is still outside even though he is normally on his way to work by now, but you donât pay much attention to it as you knock on the door.
You wait for a few seconds and then are faced with the older man with salt and pepper hair.
âHi Wayne.â You greet with a smile on your face.
âHey honey, you here for Ed?â He moves aside to let you in.
âYeah we uh got into a little fight last night and I wanted to check in on him. Brought milkshakes and cookies.â You hold up the items in your hand. Wayne smiles at your gesture, one Eddie would be sure to love as well.
âHeâs been real upset today. Hasnât said a word to me since I got back from work this morning, rarely cominâ outta that room a his.â
Youâre confused for a minute at his words. Eddie seemed mad at you sure but to go as far as to lock himself in his room all day, that was dramatic, even gor him. The look on your face mustâve clued Wayne in on the fact that you had no clue what he was talking about.
âIf ya donât mind, may I ask what you fought about?â HE rubs the back of his neck, a thing Eddie does when he too is nervous, âPossibly get an idea as to why heâs like this.â
âWell he wanted to go to the basketball game last night but I wasnât feeling up for it. I had tried a few times to tell him I didnât wanna go but heâs a stubborn one,â Wayne nods his head and smiles a little, âI let my anger get to me and accidentally yelled at him, saying things I did and didnât mean. But I didnât think he would be that mad about it, not enough to lock himself inside for hours.â
The two of you standing there in silence, contem,plating all the other reasons for Eddieâs behavior today. The older man looks at his watch then sighs, knwoing itâs time to go to work but not wanting to leave his nephew.
âGo ahead. Iâll see if I can get to him, Iâll call you about what happened later.â Wayne gives you a reassuring smile and a squeeze on the arm before heading out the door and to his late night job.
You take a deep breath in and out, calming your nerves. You set the milkshakes into the freezer, not wanting them to melt as the two of you talked before heading down the short hallway to the metalheadâs room.
Itâs rare to see Eddieâs door closed, always an open book in his own house. You knock on his door 3 times, a special order to them, signaling that it was you who was outside of it. Eddie was the one who suggested the two of you got a secret knock, being that both of your parental figures tended to just walk in unannounced and without warning.
The knock was short and sweet, something easy to remember. Eddie was the one who used it most, knocking on your window late at night to steal you away for a night drive or a smoke sesh.Â
There is no response from Eddie, so you try the knock again, hoping he just didnât hear you the thifrst time. Nothing, no response.
âEd? You okay in there? Wayne said you havenât left there all day.â You try and keep your voice neutral, not showing the hurt from deep inside that this might be your fault, âLook if this is about out fight last night I just wanted to say Iâm sorry. I wasnât in the right head space and I really shouldnâtâve talked to you that way.â Still nothing, not even the shifting of sheets could be heard.
âI brought some movies and cookies. Oh and that milkshake you love so much from Jayâs.â You start to get worried now, Eddie has never been this quiet in his life, âEddie please talk to me. I really didnât mean to say those things about you and I take back every word. If you really, truly love Chrissy then I will support you. I just donât want you to get hurt is all, I love you and hate seeing you like this.â
At the mention of Chrissy, Eddieâs heart constricted thinking about what happened last night. And for the first time all day, he speaks.
âItâs not your fault,â The words are soft, the sound in his voice coming out strained.
âAre you sure? I know I was harsh and I take full responsibility for your emotions and my actions. Can I come in? I kinda feel like I need to say this to your face.â You pause a moment, waiting for something, anything. Then you hear the small *click* of his door being unlocked. You open it and gasp at the sight in front of you.
Eddie is laying on his bed, blankets wrapped tightly around him as tissues surround and litter the the places around him. He was crying.
âShit.â You say under your breath. There is soft music playing in the back ground, you recognize the song to be K. by Cigarettes After Sex. You know the song is on his sad playlist, one he rarely listened to that you knew of. So for him to be listening to it right now is startling.
âEds?â You walk into the rom fully now, setting the cookies and movies down on the floor by the door. You take a few steps towards his bed, his back is turned to you.
âEddie, whatâs wrong?â Youâre now at the edge of his bed, wanting more than anything for him to turn around and look at you. He just lays there, his breathing moving his chest up and down slowly.
âI fucked up.â
âHuh?â You werenât even sure he said anything thatâs how quietly he said it.
âI fucked up, badly.â He turns around now, showing you the aftermath of his endless crying all night. His eyes are puffy and red, tear lines stain his face as a little bit of snot if still lingering on his nose.
Youâve never, ever seen Eddie cry out of sadness before, happiness, excitement, pleasure, sure but not sadness and it worried you to your core to know who or what did this to him. You take a seat on his bed, placing a hand on his thigh, the layers of blankets stopping any sort of heat of his to tough yours.
âWhat happened? Why do you think you fucked up?â
âChrissy came by last nightâŠâ Thatâs when your ears perked up, so this was her fault huh? âShe wanted drugs but I wasnât sure she should do them alone since I figured sheâs never done them before. Being miss popular âgood girlâ and all.â
Eddie sits up now, clearing his throat as you just sit there, leting him talk. âI offered to sit with her and teacher her how to smoke properly as to not hurt herself, you know?â You only nod, âWell we were sitting there a few minutes just passing it back and forth, talking occasionally until she asked me a question.â
âWhich was?â
âWhy do you act the way you do? It seemed harmless at the time, just something that one would ask the town freak,â Your heart pangs at the name he calls himself, âI retorted with a question of my own, following in her line of questioning. Everything was good, then she looked at me. Like really looked at me and I couldnât hold back anymore, after what you said and the way she just seemed so damn pretty even after coming here with tears staining her face. I kissed her.â
Your eyes went wide. He kissed her. Eddie kissed Chrissy. Eddie Munson and Chrissy Cunningham kissed. The âtown freakâ and the âcheery good girlâ of Hawkins kissed. No matter what way you put it nothing changed. The boy you love, are in love with kissed someone else, someone who had a boyfriend who despised Eddie.
Youâre silent, not even breathing as Eddie stares at you, âWe only kissed for a few seconds but it was great, her lips were soft and sweet. I wanted to stay like that forever, I couldâve if she didnât pull away. She told me it was wrong and she couldnât do it, Jason being the one she loved, even though I know for a fact that heâs fucking other girls around the school.â
The words and thoughts of Eddie kissing Chrissy still heavenât left your brain, you needed to get them out. âSo thatâs why youâve been in here all day. Cause Chrissy rejected you? Not our fight?â You needed a clear answer.
âYeah. I mean part of it was because we fought, but only a small part, most being because of the kiss.â His eyes are on his lap, where he messes with the chunky rings adorning them. You place your hand over his, stopping th nervous tick.
âHey, itâs gonna be okay. Youâll find someone else who doesnât have a dickwad for a boyfriend and who loves you just as much as you do them and youâll be happy. I promise,â Clearly you were talking about yourself but he didnât need to know that. He gives you a smile and pulls you in for a hug, squeezing tightly.
âThanks sweetheart. You always know what to say to cheer me up.â
âIâll always be there for you Ed, you know that.â The two of you break apart, you missing the warmth of his body against yours all too much.
âDid I hear something about horror movies and milkshakes?â You laugh at his change in conversation.
âYes you did. I went to Jayâs earlier to get your favorite, which I still donât get ow you can drink a birthday cake milkshake but I still bought it.â You stand from his bed, extending your hand out to im, âLetâs get you out of here, watch some movies and eat a shit ton of unhealthy foods.â
Eddie takes your hand without even taking a second thought, letting you lull him to his couch in the other room. The two of you sit there for the rest of the night, watching movies, eating cookies and drinking milkshakes. Everything was back to normal, almost.
Your heart still beat for Eddie but you knew now that you couldnât do anything to pursue it, knowing it would only confuse and hurt him more. So for now you would stay an arm's length away, letting him pull you in whatever direction he wanted, a smile plastered to your face the entire way.

The Baby Project Chapter 4
Izuku Midoriya x reader
Chapter One, chapter two, chapter three
Summary: The Sports Festival is here! Unfortunately, so is the principal. tw: angst, violence, fluff, neglect(?), stress, hate, anxiety(?)
 âAlright, alright, number six, seven, and-oh now this isnât cute at all. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten? So lame.â The table laughs and urges you to. âItâs a good one!âÂ
âItâs stupid. Here.â You begin to lay out the dishes in front of them. The back of Noaâs head lays on your chest. Youâre careful not to hurt him.
 âYouâre doing great, love. Itâs okay!âÂ
  You thank them and when you have successfully managed to lay them out without bothering the baby, they clap gently. âThank you, thank you.â You wave the circular tray and head back to the counter.Â
  âHoney love, I was thinking,â Ken appears through the window. The spatula that was in his hand is placed beside him. âHow about you stay behind the counter? Let Yona take on the waiting.âÂ
  âKenâŠâ He puts the towel down that was on his broad shoulder. His messy black hair is put in a half bun today. He still needs a haircut though.Â
âIâm serious. Itâd be better to do that than jeopardize him and more importantly, yourself. You could get hurt.â You donât see how, but the father in Ken apparently can.
  âMy tips, Ken.â He sighs. âIâll work on that, okay? Stay behind the counter. You look cute like that.â
âPfft!â You laugh and unsurprisingly, so does Noa. Heâs been doing that a lot lately. Ken smiles at you and Noa. âYo, Yona! Switch with her!â Ken yells.
  âBoo!âÂ
âShut up, Aoi!â Aoi Sato huffs at Ken and crosses his arms in protest. Yona comes close to the two of you. âFine, fine, she can take it. Her and Noaâll be good for business anyway. A pretty girl and a cute baby at the counter may draw people in.â
You snort and the bell above the door rings. âWelc-oh my God.â He comes in and stands there wide eyed. In his hand is an All Might wallet and his body has various mechanical devices. On both of his wrists, around his hips to look like a belt. His shoes are clunky and the red fabric peaks through in some spots. Other than that, it looks like a steel toed heavyweight shoe.Â
 Your mouth drops and your heart stops.
Fucking Deku.
  And Noa, the little brat, giggles and reaches for him while saying his first word: papa.
-
The two of you sit down with Noa in a wooden highchair. The tension is palpable as the two of you stare at each other. Even though this doesnât involve him, you feel guilty. Like you lied to him personally even though he doesnât really know you. Yes, he has helped with Noa and has even gained claim to Noaâs milestone of his first word. However, you donât know each other.Â
  âYou gonna snitch?â Your eyes focus on him. He shifts in his seat and tilts his head to get a good look at you. âThis is against the rules. Can I know why youâre doing this?âÂ
  âIâm broke.â His green eyes soften. âI get that. I have a friend whose finances arenât the best so I can understand to that degree.â
  Good.
âBut this is against the rules. Do you think youâre going to get away with it?â you take a deep breath. âI will if you keep your mouth shut. This isnât for fun. This is important to me.â
  âIâm just saying. Lying is wrong, itâs better in the long run to be honest. Maybe U.A. will understand. Itâs better to let them know now than it is to let it spring up on them.â
âThis is from the man who can do anything. Didn't you lie to literally everyone?â If he wants to go the holier-than-thou route, you can take it there by dragging him by his ear.
He sucks his teeth and looks down at the table. âI'm speaking from experience. Lying damages everything in the long run. That's why Iâm encouraging honesty.â
Thereâs a sudden wash of guilt when you look at his eyes that quickly try to cover up what seems like hurt. However, your pride has always been an issue.Â
âNo.â You say quickly. He licks his lips and gives a cheerless smile. You don't like it. You are not liking how you're snapping at someone who has only been kind to you. âWell, I won't tell.â
Good.
He taps on the table. âFood any good here?â You shake your head no. âAwful, terrible.â
He looks at you warmly. âI'm sure I'll love it. Maybe we can finish that meal we never got to?â
Fucking Deku felt bad about it and came back to pay. The damn goodie goodie. Noa wipes the table. Izuku points to him. âAh, no wonder where he got it from.âÂ
You scoff and try to fight the smile on your face as the two of you watch Noa. âYeah, he helps me wait on tables and stuff.â
âWell, at least heâs not in the kitchen.â You suck in your lips. âRight, (Y/n)?â
Izuku leans in. âRight?â
âHeâs fine!â You point to a distracted Noa. Izukuâs face is fit for a comic book. He grips the edge of the table. âWhy would you do that?!â
You smack the table. âStop screaming at me!â Noa starts to cry and calls for papa again. The two of you freeze. âIs that what he said? He said-â
âHe said mama first!â Noa said dada when Izuku walked in, but Izuku must not have heard him. You have been working with this little punk all this time just for him to say papa? Youâre shooting daggers at your robo-son. The audacity, the gall, the disrespect. Disgusting!Â
Yona pokes her head out. âLie. Yes, our favorite broccoli boy, youâre daddy.âÂ
Izuku stands and picks Noa up. âYay, big boy! Say it again!â Noa gives him a kiss. Not a bite like he does you. He repeats his first word. Repulsive!
Izuku rubs his face against Noaâs. Yona, the new retirement home victim, records it then gets close to your face. âAw, one day the baby boy will say mommy. He just happens to not like you.â
âI have an entire drawer filled with brochures. For you.â You have been collecting nursing home brochures to scare her with and even give them to her kids.Â
âI am nowhere near retirement age!â Her wings slightly flutter then pin themselves on her back.
âThen why are you scared?â She goes to hit you with the towel.
âGirls, girls, now is not the time to do that. Itâs time for a refill, seriously, get off your asses.â Yona shushes one of the customers, Aoi, who waves a cup around.
You go back to studying Izuku and Noa. Both look your way. Noa with a cheesy grin and Izuku with a curious look that settles into one of knowing. âYou wouldnât happen to be jealous, would you?â
âNo.âÂ
  He does a sharp intake of air and slowly makes his way to you. âAh, because he really does like me, no?â He slowly makes his way to you. âNoa, say, mama.â Noa doesnât speak.Â
âNope, doesnât bother me.â
You tap your foot, trying to ignore the inching Izuku who looks disgustingly mischievous. Noa rests on his hip naturally. Izuku leans down with a smirk. âYâknow, I could help you. Iâll teach you on how to speak in âNoa language .ââÂ
  Your bottom lip sticks out, your leg bouncing. âI speak Noa language just fine, thank you.â
âSay mama!â Noa shakes his head no. You smack the table again. âI donât deserve this disrespect!â Izuku laughs and places his hand on the back of your neck gently and says, âItâll happen eventually, my dearest. Or maybe he really doesnât like you.â
What he called you goes over your head.
---------------
A week later, itâs time for the Sports Festival. Itâs been so awkward and warm between you and Izuku since he found out. For some reason, there is a lightness to it all. Itâs that dark cloud hanging over your head that wonât leave thatâs making you fail to trust the situation. This cloud has formed over the course of your life. You can't just get rid of it because of one nice person.
 Anyway, you promised youâd be there cheering. You sit next to your friends on the stands. Everyone is up and bouncing despite the hard days of studying. Lately, tests and homework have been a challenge since Noa turned one. Heâs been even more curious and adventurous. Whenever you try to calm him so you can work, he gets even louder and becomes disruptive. You donât know how many times youâve apologized.
Right now, youâre focused on the Sports Festival. Itâs the first since Shigaraki. It is one of the things he didnât ruin. Itâs all going good, going smooth. Your mood is upbeat until you spot Kaibara with a smile. He waves at the spectators, spots you then looks away.Â
Concerning Kaibara, youâve given up on him. You were lenient to a fault because of him being your partner, but he has shown you that he doesnât deserve anything. The only thing you include him in is the progress report. You can pat yourself on the back and say that you tried. That you were the one that didnât fail, it was him.
Halfway into the Sports Festival, Noa squeals in excitement as Izuku is on the screen. Heâs allowed to wear only parts of his suit for this. Was there concern about it? During Izukuâs first year, support items were allowed and his suit is a support item too. Then again, it gives him back the power of a god. People may view it as cheating. That alone is reasonable, but it is also a spit in the face for the students. It is as if the people are calling them weak. It has the same quirks he has in the first run, so whatâs the difference? Perhaps it is fear more than anything.
Izuku hasnât explained it but doesnât he still have some of the quirk left? Maybe thatâs a reason too. He has shown superior speed and strength than his peers who donât have a quirk to aid them in those areas. Would it be fair if he had that and still used a suit? It goes above your head.
After every trial, Izuku finds you and Noa in the stands. He waves at you with a flush to his cheeks every time he does so. At first, your stupid brain made you think itâs because of you and not because of the physical exertion. Thankfully, common sense won out.
  Heâs doing really well with the scraps of his suit. Carefully planning while he goes around or through his friendsâ quirks. Izukuâs speed and strength is still incredible. Not as fast as Iida but definitely second place.Â
 Overall, the hero course is truly something. These two classes alone show promise and there are so many schools that probably hold just as much talent. If another Tomura were to happen, the world will have a better time with it than the first go around.
Noa wiggles on your lap when Izuku stands in the arena. Noa leans forward and tries to reach Izuku. You notice that the green haired boy hasnât looked up at the two of you this time.Â
  âAnd back from the dead, Izuku Midoriya! Who will win? Who, who, wh-â Present Mic bounces in his seat.Â
âShut up.â Aizawa cuts him off and tells Snipe to start the match since Mic is getting on his nerves again.Â
  The crowd cheers and shouts their names. The babies all have those clunky headphones on to cancel out the noise. Noa has decided that he hates his and keeps trying to take them off. And just when your eyes are off of him so you can stop Noa, Izuku wins this round. You look back up and see class Bâs Kendo, flat on the ground. âDamn it.â
  Up next is Todoroki and Tetsutetsu. Naturally, you know who to cheer for. You stand up but Riko pulls you down quickly.
 âLetâs do it, Tetsu! You got this!âÂ
âYou are so obvious, I swear.â Riko rolls her eyes then stands. With loud claps to go with it, she shouts, âWin, Tetsu!âÂ
âIâm obvious but you join in?â Noa frowns and points at her. âI know, Auntie Riko is a mess.â
She gestures to herself. âItâs better when I do it.âÂ
  Itâs an interesting fight. Apparently, they went against each other in their first year. He had trained his body to withstand extreme temperatures and was able to deliver amazing blows. It ended in a draw but without Tetsu, class B would have lost.Â
  âWhoop his ass, Tetsu!â You and another person shout. You look over and see a girl passionately screaming against Todoroki. In her hands is an infant with her features but familiar dual-colored eyes.
Tetsu punches Todoroki in the face, sending him back. Todoroki catches himself from falling over. âDeadbeat motherfucker!â
 Tetsutestu lands another punch. Todoroki shoots out his flames directly at the steel boy. Despite the terrible heat, Real Steel takes it all on.
"Endeavor lover!" Jule screams with his baby on his hip mimicking his hand waves. Youâre jumping up and down, completely entertained by the fight. With every hit Tetsu gets in, the general studies shout, âYes!â
Tetsu dodges one of Todorokiâs hits and lands a kick of his own. What was that Mirko said? Those with long range quirks are usually weak in combat? She definitely hit it on the head. Todoroki is great, but Tetsu is fierce. Each hit is clearly doing some damage. Every punch seems to knock the wind out of Todoroki. If this were anyone else, they'd be flat on their asses.
âYou got this, Real Steel!â Heâs relentless. Even though heâs stark red from the terrible heat, he doesnât stop. You know nothing about the heroes' training or fighting, but it looks like his movements are getting more fluid, looser in a good way. Â
In a strange turn of events, right after Todoroki shoots out a powerful blast, he freezes the stadium, barely missing the onlookers. It immediately stops the cheering for Tetsutestu. You scream as you fall back to your seat. The ice is dangerously close to the audience. Noa shivers and sniffles from the frost. Immediately, you rub him to get some heat.Â
  âUm, Tetsutestu is out! Todoroki wins!â
âBoo!âÂ
-
 Next is, you canât believe your eyes, Kaibara versus Yaoyorozu. Both stand proudly on the opposite sides. They are ignoring the crowd and focusing on the task.
âY'all both suck ass!âÂ
âBoo!âÂ
  âDeadbeat motherfuckers!â Again, you donât know who that came from. What you do know is that everyone in general studies are against those who have shown their true colors.Â
  âItâs a death match! Yes!â You scream. Snipe shakes his head and points to you. The camera goes to you. You tense up at the camera and lower yourself.Â
âAnyway, as you can see, these two are not popular. The majority of the heroes donât have many fans EraserâŠâ
âPopularity isnât necessary. Heroics should have nothing to do with a popularity contest.â Aizawa says sternly. You roll your eyes. With hollowing your hands, you shout, âBoo! You two in the booth suck!â
Riko touches your shoulder. âSh, let the violence relax you.â
âBegin!âÂ
  You see Benio intently watching. He shields Kobeni from the fight. Right then, Kaibara runs to Yaoyorozu who immediately blocks his attack. Itâs the same mistake she made in the first year. She got nervous during the one on one and got pushed out. Now, she seems to be doing the same thing. Clearly, sheâs more of a support hero than a fighter.
  Kaibara drills right through her shield. Surprisingly, she had a gift for him in the shape of a gun with non lethal bullets. Your eyes are glued to the fight. Thereâs no way heâll be able to dodge them, right?Â
  Suddenly, as she fires them with excellent precision, he manages to drill his body to protect himself, spinning round and round until the bullets fly away. Whatever the hero course is teaching these students, it is absolutely working because both of them slide and run from the other, one trying to close the distance, the other tries to create it.
  Yaoyorozu comes through with a baton that sparks electricity. She charges at him and duels. With every drilling twirl of his, goes through her electric baton, only to be met with another. Finally, Kaibara stops holding back, apparently.Â
  Heâs a monster. Sheâs creating shields and tries to come up with weapons, but in terms of martial arts, he is a savage that Yaoyorozu canât keep up with. It takes one hit to the face, and sheâs thrown back and outside the lines.
 ThatâŠwas exciting. She wasnât scared or nervous like she was in her first year. Now, she faced her opponent head on. Yaoyorozu seems to need more training in fighting, though. Other than that, Benio's baby mama was amazing.
You peer at Benio who fights a smile then takes a deep breath. He kisses Kobeniâs head and leans back. Is he trying not to be happy?
  There are more fights that earn several boos. One had a purple haired boy, Shinsou, that was surprisingly really good. It was quick for him. He went against the antagonistic blond boy, Monoma, and won. Youâd think that since Monoma knows about Shinsou's quirk, he'd shut up but no. Itâs too much for him. You shake your head and watch as other matches go down. Finally, there is one that catches your attention by far.
âWe have Izuku Midoriya, with only parts of his suit, and Sen Kaibara!â
  Noa calls out âpapaâ. Izuku looks up and sees Noa shaking his hand at him. âYou can do it!â You shout. Kaibara turns around and sees the two of you. The camera zooms up on Izuku who is still excitedly waving, making Noa do the same. Lost in the moment of you cheering, you blow a kiss to him. It goes right over your head. Doing it came naturally.
You donât look at Kaibara until you for sure feel his eyes on you. You make eye contact and instantly regret it. The more he stares, the more anxious you feel. His expression goes from indifference, annoyance, confusion, and finally to anger. All of these in the span of a few seconds.Â
   You stop cheering and tense up. Noa continues to call Izuku papa, not realizing that the man in front of Izuku is his real father. He is totally unaffected by the look in Kaibaraâs eyes. Kaibara moves his jaw and flares his nostrils. He turns around and faces Izuku who does not look happy. Izuku has totally changed his demeanor. You kiss Noaâs face and lower his standing form.Â
  âAre you okay?â Riko asks. You turn to her. âYeah, yeah, Iâm just a little tired.â
What do you say to her? What was that anyway and why did you feel it? He wasnât near you. âYou sure?â
  You shake your head at Riko. âI must be feeling off.â Itâs the truth. You weren't scared or anything, just unnerved. No way would you ever tell anyone this, though.
  Riko hums. Right as she does, Snipe yells, âBegin!â
In an instant, Izuku is on Kaibara without giving the latter a second to drill or block. Kaibaraâs face is taking hit after hit. Next, Izuku lowers Kaibara so he can kick him in the chest. Kaibara takes this and flips Izuku over.
âSweep the leg!â You yell. Following you, Izuku sweeps his leg to hit Kaibaraâs knee, leaving a crunch noise behind. You cover Noaâs eyes so he doesnât see that. Kaibara miraculously fights without thinking about it. How long has that taken him? How much training did he have to do in order to swirl his leg back to its original place with his quirk to keep it still?
  Kaibara isnât done and Izukuâs just getting started. The fight is fast and messy, yet each hit is deliberate and trained. Both are bleeding, from Izukuâs nose to Kaibaraâs mouth and cheek. He has a gash that Recovery Girl will need to handle. Kaibara is displaying master artistry in martial arts. Even without using his quirk, heâd be deadly to villains.Â
  Izuku hasnât used his suit once, though.
Finally, somehow, Izuku gives a powerful kick upward, sending his opponent up. With complete savagery, you see Izuku fling Kaibara around in the air to drop him. They both land with a shake of the ground. Kaibara barely manages to stand while Izuku does it perfectly with power.Â
With mighty punches and kicks, Kaibara isnât able to even defend. Izuku hasnât even used his suit yet. Izuku right hooks Kaibara and is met with cheers with every swing. The crowd shouts his name and his alias, Deku. The energy from the fight is so intense, you can almost see it flow into the air for the audience to absorb it.Â
âGet it, Deku!â Ema pumps her fist in the air.
âDeadbeat motherfucker!âÂ
You stand and shout, âGrab the bag, rob his wallet, hit the bank, and beat his ass! Yes!âÂ
  Riko pats your thigh. âWhere did you get that?!â
Izuku grabs Kaibaraâs hand. Kaibara uses his quirk in retaliation, making Izuku's skin raw by the rapid spinning. Yet, thereâs a smile on Izuku's face. With one squeeze, Izuku completely crushes Kaibara's hand. Immediately, blood gushes out. You are on the edge of your seat when Izuku is flung back in a circle. Kaibara is something else. He hasnât slowed down and manages to keep his weight off his broken knee.
  âHe isnât using itâŠâ You whisper as the fight goes on. Izuku has a suit that could be used against Kaibaraâs quirk. Looking at the fight and knowing what Izuku is used to doing, itâs like heâs playing with his food.Â
âItâs a fist fight for him. The parts of the suit are still incredibly strong and fit to use against those with an offensive quirk,â Riko leans in, âThis isnât a competition for him. Itâs an all out brawl.â
  Finally, Izuku moves his arms. Immediately, everyone recognizes Gear Shift. Kaibara, for the first time, takes a step back. That is all Izuku needs to land three hits. One punch to the nose, one to the gut, and a kick to send him back. The epic sounds are thunderous seconds after Kaibara is sent flying through the stadiumâs wall. The impact affects the entire arena. The vibration is right under your feet and the blast of wind pushes you back into your seat. All of this happened and Kaibara didn't land near you.
 Your jaw drops. Youâve never seen Izuku in action. And this is what Shigaraki was dealing with? And Izuku only used the suit for one thing. He has a bruise on his jaw and his hand is bleeding. Heâs lowered in a hunched position, ready to strike if Kaibara comes back.Â
The arena is silent.Â
Everyone knows that Izukuâs suit is fit for him only. What he has on are his usual arm compressions and shin guards. Each of these give him the ability to use some of his suitâs quirks. And yet, he didnât need it. In fact, he could have done without the Gear Shift. Riko was right. This was a straight up brawl. If you arenât mistaken, it looked personal.
  âThe winner is Izuku Midoriya!â
He straightens up and looks at you, already knowing where you are. You smile warmly, standing again to cheer for the man who can do anything. Noa, of course, has to be the loudest and call for his papa. You stand back up and blow him a kiss. Izuku's eyes shine.
The Sports Festival is an intense event. People you didnât expect to get far got the farthest, for instance, Jirou absolutely dominated her opponents until she came across Kaminari, whose electricity had knocked her down. At least she tore him up before she got out. Urarakaâs awakening helped tremendously. Honestly, sheâs scary as hell. It was amazing to see her and Bakugou go against each other again. It was incredibly close. Bakugou had barely made it. Present Mic of course, the president of her fan club, wasnât thrilled and made it known. He even wanted a rematch.Â
  Then it came down to Todoroki, Bakugou, and Izuku. This is the fights that people have been waiting to see. Both Bakugou and Todoroki have shown how brutal they are compared to their first year. And no one thought that Izuku would be able to make it this far with or without his suit, yet here he is proving them wrong left and right. His technique, intelligence and natural physical prowess are immaculate. And with his suit, he still bears a striking resemblance to the boy with everything.
Unfortunately, Noa decided to be a boob and knock his headphones off right when Bakugouâs quirk exploded at Todoroki. The sound irritated him so badly, you had to leave and go into the hallway. In true Noa fashion, he stopped and fell asleep with his usual ding, then would wake up with a birdâs hum, then go right back down. Right when the Sports Festival was over. You had missed it.
-------------------------
You enter Recovery Girlâs office to find Izuku on the bed. He perks up when he sees you and Noa, who is no longer sleeping.
  âHowâre you doing?â
âPretty good! I thought I wasn't going to get far without the suit.â He smiles widely and sits up, still tucked under the covers. You wonder if he's actually okay. Izuku, for the short time you've known him, hides himself away.
You feel so guilty. âI wanted to see-â
âI understand. Itâs probably better that way. Kacchanâs quirk is loud so I donât know if Noa could handle that.â
  You sigh and sit on the foot of his bed. âHe couldnât. Right when Kacchan used his quirk, Noa freaked.â
âKacchan?â  He raises his eyebrows in shock.
âThatâs his name, right?â Noa rocks himself back and forth in excitement. âItâs my name for him-â
âAre you jealous?â You ask in the same tone he did back at the restaurant. He scoffs. âNo. Iâm worried for you, thatâs all. He might get mad.â
  âI do as I please.â He chuckles and leans back. âHeâs definitely going to be mad.â
You shrug. âWhatever,â You play with Noaâs face. âDid you win?â
After a moment, Izuku sucks on his teeth and looks at you through his lashes. âWe can watch it together some time instead of me telling you. If you want too!â
âI guess? Yeah, keep the suspense up so Iâll be on my toes around you?â
âNo!â
âI donât know Izuku, youâre a brutal fighter.â You smirk and sit on the foot of the bed. âI didnât think theyâd let you use the suit to be honest.â You set Noa down who then crawls to his favorite. Hmph.
You scratch your cheek. Your eyes dart away from his, not really wanting to say whatâs to come. Itâs surely vain. Quietly, you ask, âDid you know youâd face him?â
âNo.â
You haven't looked at him yet. âUm, thanks for punching him in the face then. I know itâs a competition so it canât be ah, that-â
âFor what?â He kisses Noa on the head. You take a deep breath. âI know it wasnât for me. Itâs just nice to see him get hit.â
  Izuku gives a closed mouth smile. Even without teeth itâs genuine. âIt was both. Yeah, itâs a competition but he deserved it.â He sits up. âI saw how scared you got. (Y/n),âÂ
  Youâre facing the window, only seeing him from the corner of your eye. âI won't let you be scared. I was happy to beat him for you.â
  You turn your face fully to him. âI wasnât scared.â
âI know.â He says, after a few seconds of staring at you. Even though he agrees, you arenât dumb enough to believe he meant it. You werenât scared. Unnerved, yes. But not scared. Sen Kaibara wonât hurt you again. Not when his reputation is still slightly on the rocks. It was the hostility when he looked at you that was unnerving.
You mess with the soft, white cotton blanket. It is warm and comforting. Something to hold you down in this conversation with a boy who is making your heart flutter despite him being annoying. To change the topic, you decide to tease him. âNoa was mimicking you. I donât know if I like that. You may not be a good influence, Deku.â
You barely know him, but he is someone youâve come to start welcoming inside your built walls. Even though you hate heroes, this one may be the only one in your grace.
  âI think Noa likes me just fine. Heâs turning out okay, too.â He shrugs. You squint your eyes and hum. âMm, itâs me you have to worry about Deku.â
Heâs a little flushed. âWell, Iâll just have to win you over, wonât I?â
   Thereâs no way that meant anything, so stop.
 You sigh and watch Noa stand up and mess with Izukuâs face. âYâknow, you could teach him some of your moves. For self defense and all.â
âEh?! Thatâs too dangerous!â He holds Noa close to him. Izuku bounces the boy a little and asks, âYou donât want to do that, Noa.â
You lean in, ready to antagonize Izuku who is desperately telling Noa to never do it. âYes you do, buddy! You want to be just like daddy, huh?â Noa squeals and says yes. Izuku gasps. âWhereâs my phone? We gotta get this!â
 You take out yours and hit record. âNoa, say hi daddy!â
âHi, daddy.â For the first time, heâs able to pronounce daddy, rather than papa. âNoa, say mama!â
Silence.
âCall me mommy!â He remains silent and just stares at the camera then to you. âOh my God.â
Izuku bursts out laughing. Noa goes along with him, the little asshole. You sigh and are about to put the camera away until he looks directly at you and says, âLove ya.â
Your breath stops. These robots are said not to have souls and yet he said that with a brightness in his eyes. He said it smoothly like music. You hope Izuku doesnât notice how you are frozen and warm. You pray that this feeling of fondness and care for Noa goes away. That somehow, you'll be sensible enough to not love him. You won't, no matter how much Noa says he loves you. And how much it sounds like he means it.
âGood job, Noa! Say it for me, please? Say I love you.â Izuku urges. Noa doesnât do it. Itâs your turn to laugh at Izukuâs expense. He tries and tries to get Noa to say it, to the point of tears.
----------------------
You scratch your head at your notes. Recently, Snipe decided that his students werenât able to do major tests like before. No one could get a hold of studying at the same time, even Ema. So, he decided to give more time to prepare and a study guide everyone went through in class.
  However, Noa, in all his wisdom, decided that having a fit that involved throwing himself around was necessary. Snipe was annoyed so rather than listen to him bitch and complain, you excused yourself to the bathroom to calm him.Â
  When you went back, class was over.Â
Your heart dropped. None of your friends had the energy or hands to do two papers. Snipe stopped you from leaving and gave you a set of them. They were all over the place and sloppy. They were the teacherâs notes. He didnât say anything other than how cute Noa is in the videos. Without another word, you knew what that meant. So, you left the classroom and went about your day with a smile. Now, here you sit with Noa in front of you playing with Rikoâs gifted toys and snacking on banana puffs. He feels the need to show you everything he has in his hand and if you donât look, he growls. Heâs cute but distracting.Â
Suddenly, a familiar voice calls out, â(Y/n), Noa! Iâm here!â Izuku jogs to you with a heavy looking backpack and another bag. At first glance you see more snacks and books.Â
  âI thought heâd like these. Itâs the same I grew up with.â He puts the cereal on the table. âI remember those. Not too many, Izuku. Thatâs a lot of sugar.â
  He nods. âNot all of these are for him.â He pops several in his mouth. After swallowing, he asks, âWhatâre you doing?â
âRemember that test? He gave us a study guide and Iâm trying to look at.â
Izuku perks up. âIâll help! Noa and I both. Ainât that right bub? Weâre gonna help mama?â Noa responds with the awful word, papa.
  âUm, can you watch Noa while I study instead? I wonât be long, I promise.â
âThatâs a good idea. Itâs been a long time since Noa and I bonded.â He ruffles Noa's hair. You blink once then twice. âYou just saw him two hours ago.â
âYeah, I saw him. We didnât hang out, (Y/n)!âÂ
You rub your eyes. âAlright, then. Iâll be in my room. Call if you need me, okay?â He shoos you away and eats the cereal with Noa, who is equally obsessed with it.
-
You look around for your boy who was just playing with the colorful blocks that he's obsessed with. Worry starts to creep inside you. You left Izuku and Noa in front of the coffee table in the commons. Now an hour later, the boys are gone. The only thing there on the table is Noa's colorful plate of what looks like sweet potatoes and Izuku's cereal right next to it.Â
âHave you seen Noa?â Jule shakes his head no.
âHave you seen Noa?â Sakura says no and adds like the little bitch she is, âLost him already?â
On her hip is Mira, an exact replica of Kacchan but with her motherâs hair color. It isn't as spiked as his either. She is a cute little thing but is so bratty. Even now her arms are crossed and glaring. It is a little scary how much she acts like him for an eight-month-old.
  âHave Mira for the first time ever? Actually being useful? Big happenings for both of us.â Sakura gasps and in Mira fashion, the baby laughs at her mother.
  Have you seen Noa? Is repeatedly asked in your dorm and every time it is answered with the same word: no. It's practically an echo by now.
 âNoa! Noa?â You run through the halls. You call Izuku with no answer. Finally, you run across a large room which was decided by your class to be the movie room. You hear noises in it. Slowly opening it, you gently call out Noaâs name. A weight is lifted off of your chest when you see Izuku laying down on the orange sofa with Noa on his chest. A gory zombie movie plays on the screen which goes ignored with snores.
  You walk up to the boys and see that theyâre totally fine. It seems that both of them played hard. You poke Izuku several times. He wakes up with a jump, nearly knocking off Noa. âHey!â You quickly grab the baby before he falls.
âOh no! No, no, no, is he okay?â You hold Noa protectively while Izuku jumps up and puts his hands out. âHeâs fine.â
âI-Iâm sorry. I have trouble waking up like that.â Ah, thatâs right. The wars. You stop tensing up and slowly release. You totally forgot about them and the effects it mightâve had on him.
âUm, Izuku,â You pat Noaâs back. âI really appreciate you and all but, please donât take off with him like that. It scared the hell out of me.â
He looks confused for a second then gasps. âShit-excuse me-Iâm sorry for that. I didnât think about it.â
 You smile as the future hero looks panicky. The movie continues to play and gets progressively scarier. âI, ah, want to go outside. You coming with?â Izuku looks around then at the ground. âYou sure?â
âPositive. Anything to get away from this movie.â He looks taken back then defends it. âItâs a classic!â
âItâs nasty!â You leave the room and head to yours to get Noaâs bag. Izuku follows you closely. âZombie movies are imperative to cinema. Theyâre great monster movies.â
  You struggle to get your key from your pocket. As he defends the movie, he takes it from you and opens the door for you. âWhatever. Itâs an excuse to watch gory porn.â
âWhat?!â You canât help but laugh at his face. Heâs growing increasingly offended. âI said what I said. How can anyone watch a movie where people are being eaten if someone isnât into that kind of stuff?â
âWell, you like slasher films!âÂ
âBarely. Another thing, people are interesting. Why do they kill? Why is the dumb blonde in the woods? Why are they going up the stairs? Not dead humans who eat brains.â He takes Noaâs bag and when you leave your room, he locks it for you. âThat is an old stereotype. Zombies eat people, not just brains. And slasher films are not psychological thrillers. Theyâre just as gory as zombie movies.â
âAgree to disagree. Even though Iâm right.â He scoffs and opens the door to the dorms. The sun is bright, and the breeze is perfect. He lets you walk out first. âWhatever! It is not gory porn.â
âI knew you were freaky. What is that saying? Save a horse, ride a zombie.â
âWhat? Now whoâs the freak-â His voice starts to raise to protect his nasty movies. You don't bother to hide your smile. âYou watch bloody porn. I don't think you have the right to insult me.â
âI do not watch bloody porn!â A teacher stops and stares. The great hero Dekuâs breathing stops. His eyes are blank and unfocused. You don't even try to hold in your laugh. With a proper voice, the hero in purple tights says, âDo what you want on your own time, Deku. But please don't say it out loud.â
The hero walks away. Izuku has yet to get life back in his eyes. Meanwhile, you have the ugliest laugh at his devastation.
-
The three of you sit on the grass. In Noaâs bag were some toys and his banana puffs. You laid everything out for him to get his hands on. He sits in front of you two and after he picks each of them up, he shows you what it is. Izuku acts incredibly interested. You lie on your back against Izukuâs jacket and rest in the sun. He insisted on you and Noa sitting on it.
  âDeku!â The loud and raspy voice annoys the hell out of you. The source stomps along the pavement, heading towards you and Noa, the unsuspecting victims of his voice. Izuku smiles widely and holds Noa up. âKacchan, he said his first word!â
The spikey haired blonde holds his twin on his hip. Sakura must've tossed Mira to him again. Mira sports the same expression as her dad when she sees Noa, who is totally oblivious.Â
âMineâs already done that!â For some reason, perhaps out of sheer possession of evil, he makes this gremlin face. Mira smiles at her dad, clearly amused by it.Â
âNoa said papa! Isn't he cute?â
âAin't this drill boyâs kid? And that's his first word?â Kacchan stares down at you. His red eyes aren't judgmental, but genuinely curious. Miraâs identical red eyes however, are totally rude.Â
âHe calls me papa!â Izuku says proudly. Then, with the same smugness as before, he adds, âWhat was Miraâs first word?â
Kacchan glares at Izuku. Through his gritted teeth he says, âBitch.â
At first you think heâs insulting Izuku until it sinks in. Miraâs first word is actually bitch. You cover your mouth in an attempt to stop the laughter. Finally, you fall back. âOh my God!âÂ
Izuku, as you suspected, knew what her first word was. You were upset that Noa has yet to say mama, though after hearing this, youâre happy with what you got. Better that than being called a âbitchâ.
âFucking Deku!âÂ
Izuku sets Noa down. âIâll be right back.â
Some of class A stand at the side next to the tall and healthy trees. A few of them have their dolls, including Kaminari and Todoroki. You rubbed your eyes when you saw them. Your hands turn to fists on the grass as you look at those two in particular. Apparently, Todoroki has been pathetic in this project. And itâs his fault!
Before you can get up to give him a piece of your mind, Noa stands up, gives you a sloppy kiss, and says, âpapa.â
Noa, for the first time, starts to walk. âIzuku!âÂ
He turns around and quickly gets his camera. âThatâs my boy! Look at him go-here record this!â He hands it to Todoroki and gets on the ground with his arms open. Noa makes a wobbly run for it. You cross your arms. Youâre happy Noaâs doing this, but this is some bullshit.Â
Ema comes up to you without Hana. She points her thumb behind her. âUh, Nezu and co. want to see you.â
âAlright, after-â
âNo, they mean now. Either I went to get you or a teacher.â You freeze then look at Izuku who doesnât see this. Did he snitch on you?Â
  You get up and call out, âI have to go somewhere.â You donât look at him again when Ema walks with you to the principalâs office. Your heart is practically coming out of your chest. Wait, whoâs to say itâs because of your secret? It could be one of your many outbursts that's finally gotten you in trouble! It could be something different.Â
  Your heart starts to calm down. Thankfully, your knees stop shaking so much. This anxiety could be leading you to something completely false. Izuku knows and said he wouldnât tell, Kaibara has known for a while and hasnât said anything either and there were tons of times he could have. So, youâre in the clear. Snipe is probably just mad again.Â
  You open the door and a teacher, whatâs her face, thanks Ema and excuses her. All of the general studies teachers are here. Nezu sits at his desk. The movement at your side makes you look over and lo and behold, Kaibara.
 Nezu, in a lighthearted voice says, âWe have been told that you are working, (L/n).âÂ
Son of a bitch. You stare at Nezu, not breathing. âDonât deny it, weâve seen proof. We just want to go over the rules with you.â
âWhat evide-â
The door opens and Izuku comes in. âPrincipal Nezu?âÂ
âWeâll keep this short with you Midoriya. Did you know that (L/n) is working at a restaurant?â Since when is he involved? And where's Noa?
  Izuku opens his mouth. âBefore you lie, know that this is just confirmation that she was seen there.â
Izuku says nothing. His teacher sighs and Nezu excuses him. Izuku doesnât leave and instead stands between you and Kaibara. âMidor-â
âWith all due respect, but this requires more than the insight of the teachers and a bitter partner.â
  âBitter?â Kaibara scoffs. âShe stole-â
âItâs not stealing if you participated in the project.â Eraserhead flicks his eyes over to Kaibara. Dracula speaks, âKaibara, thereâs nothing wrong with her asking you to participate financially. Whatâs wrong is that you kept this from us.â
âHow is it his business? Or any of yours?â Your heart rate is racing right now. At the beginning, you were afraid Kaibara would say something. After your talk in the yard, you don't remember if he mentioned it. Part of you, a naive and senseless part, thought he forgot, that maybe he let it slip from his mind.
Of course, he was just waiting to strike. Why? After all of these months he chooses now. Noa is a year old, talking and walking, and youâre doing all of the work! You havenât asked him for a thing since then. The only request you have for him is to participate in the report and like Benio and Yaoyorzoru, heâs copying your homework. Plus, itâs only once a month!
  So, what happened? Why?
Izuku stays by your side even when he is repeatedly dismissed. â(L/n), this job you have, no matter how mundane, has to end.â
Your throat is tight. âThis isnât fair.â
âIt doesnât seem like it, but your scholarship requires your full attention, and your grades are already slippi-â
âBecause of this stupid project! You heroes are the laziest sack of shits Iâve ever met.â
Snipe stands up and hisses out your name. âNo, no! My stipend is less than others because Iâm a scholarship kid. And he-â You point to Kaibara. âHasnât done anything! I have to force him to meet up once a month to do the progress report. Thatâs it! He hasnât even held Noa!â
âThatâs not tr-â
You cut Kaibara off. âDid you know Noa said his first word? He walks? That he likes banana puffs and mashed potatoes? How about rice and Izukuâs katsudon? How about the fact he thinks Izuku Midoriya is his daddy! Because you arenât there!â
  Everyone remains silent. âYes, I work. I have bills to pay and Noa to provide for. That stipend is just a few bucks that barely covers anything. And Kaibara literally gave me twenty dollars that one time. I paid for the rest and went without.â
âWe know-â You interrupt Nezu. âYou donât know. Yes, I work. My job prevents me going from without and now that Noa is added on, I need it more than ever. The project is hurting us except for the future pros. Who not only get paid by you but also by peopleâs taxes. And Iâm in trouble for what? Actually doing something? Managing a job, school, Noa, and that thing right there?â Kaibara scoffs when you point at him. âWhereâs Tomura when you need him, oh my God.â
Izuku touches your arm. You move it away. âNah, this is why the people donât and never will, trust your asses. I trust Sir Dusty over you people any day of the week.â
Nezu stands on the table with his hands behind his back. Kaibara clears his throat. âWith that being said and the slander against me and her clear support of the League, I think it should be noted that she hangs out with villains regularly.â
  You turn your head to him so fast. âKenji Hara is a villain who was a known serial killer a few years back. I'm worried for Noa and even her safety. Thatâs why I brought this whole thing up.â
âThank you for bringing it to our attention even though you shouldâve said she was violating the rules of the scholarship sooner. If you truly were concerned for her safety, we should've been notified immediately.â Dracula gestures to you.
  Your eyes are bulging. He did not just bring Ken into this. âLord forbid the man had a hobby!"
"Murder is not okay!"
"I never said it was. And he paid his debt!" Kaibara opens his stupid mouth. "He ripped people's bones-"
"He now gets them ethically."
Eraserhead inhales deeply. âFraternizing with villains isnât a proper thing to do, (L/n). Especially one of such violence.âÂ
âBut killing them is? Need I remind you of the countless human beings you have killed?â
Izuku tenses next to you. Snipe rubs his face under his mask. You take the stage since no one says anything. âI said what I said. This whole thing isnât fair and for you to judge me for rubbing elbows with someone who made his own choices in life is bullshit. How much sense does that make? Heâs killed people and so have you! Whatâs the difference?â
Eraserhead sighs for the millionth time. He's wearing a facade of indifference, but you can tell you're chiseling it away. âThere is a difference. Heroes donât agree with-â
âDamn, at least Ken takes care of his kids. Can you say the same for yourselves? Not even just the kids. What about us?â
 Nezu answers you in his usual annoyingly chipper voice. âI know this is hard. The baby project has its reasons. Although you should be kicked out for violating the rules of your scholarship that was specifically clear and endangering yourself and others by associating with bad influences," You swear your heart stopped. "I won't punish you for it. You made your point, and we'll give you another chance. Don't slip up like this again. You're very bright, (L/n). It'd be a waste to lose you." Nezu always has such a jolly face.
You want to stab everyoneâs eyes out. âThank you for proving me and the League right. You and the fakes you teach have yet to beat the allegations.â
All of them flinch as your words begin to settle. Those words are held with such conviction and anger that could only be called righteous with the promise of wrath.
--------------
You walk out with your head held high. Izuku stayed behind for some reason and Kaibara has left to the other side of the hallway, not looking back at you. Your breathing is shallow, and your head is spinning. Even still, you march on. You have to find Noa and go to your room. Youâve had enough for today.
 Izuku comes up and touches your arm. âWhereâs Noa?âÂ
âIâll get him, Iâll be right back.â Once he leaves, you say to yourself, âI need to call Yona.âÂ
You go to the random chair in the hall. It sits next to the large window and gives a terrible view of the building. No one knows why the window is there or the chair. Itâs usually used for when people need to tie their shoes or for phone calls.
  âHey, Yona? Um, they found out.â Sheâs dead quiet. âWhat does that mean?â
âI quit, maâam.â Youâve been around Yona and Ken since the wars. You were one of the ones that werenât able to get into a shelter. Ken found you and Yona who stayed close to her restaurant. Heroes have done nothing but disappoint you time and time again.
  âThis is a short notice, bug.â You want to be lighthearted and laugh; find joy in her teasing. âMaâam, itâs been wonderful and an honor to work for you and Ken.â Your voice starts to shake, warning her that youâre about to cry. You hear her ladybug wings flap in the background. They do that when she's nervous.
Izuku comes up and squats to your level. âI have to go.â
âNot go. Weâll see each other soon, little bug.â Her wings are flapping more. You hang up and put your phone in your pocket. You blink a couple of times and look up into his green eyes. He's holding Noa. He stretches out his hand that you donât take.
You get up and walk back into your room. âThanks for helping me back there. It wonât happen again.â You take Noa from him and go to set him in his crib that heâs about to outgrow. You have to look into getting another one. Maybe just get a big kid's bed and hope for the best? Perhaps he can just sleep with you now. These are decisions for later.
  Izuku stops you from closing the door. âWait-â
âI need to do anything that doesnât involve what happened today, thanks.â He pushes it open anyway. âItâs not good to hold things like this in, (Y/n). Let me help.â
 âAnd Iâm sure youâve dealt with everything right?â In response, he wraps his arms around you. âI hate this, Izuku. Stop hugging me, I donât need it.â
You understand he wants to comfort you. Why? What does he get out of it? Itâs probably to play the hero. The hero that put you through that mess and heâs best friends with the hero thatâs putting you through your current predicament. You canât really blame him for something All Might brought or that Todoroki started. But God, youâre so mad.
 âGet away from me.â You push him away; his body is like a brick wall, and he doesnât stumble. He doesnât look hurt at all. Why is this? Why do you want him to feel pain? He corrected his mistake back then and took Tomura's fine ass out. Izukuâs quirkless now but God, isnât this a martyr complex he has? Hero complex? Or just straight up annoying?
That's what this is, isn't it? He views you as a project and something to save. You hate them, all of them. âLeave me and Noa alone.â You finally yank him away. He stumbles to the doorway. Itâs only right. The heroes have left you alone with this project. Your doll âsonâ is going to drive you mad. And you canât afford to fail, or youâll lose your scholarship and everything you have ever worked for. And for some reason, this all hurts your heart. Pushing him away hurts too, God, do you hate him. All of them.Â
  You slam your dorm door in his face. You try to keep it quiet. You try to stiffen up your bottom lip and smile instead before you turn around to face Noa. It will be too familiar if you donât. Youâre trying, youâre trying! So, why are you failing? There must be something youâre doing wrong. Your hands are against the door and the tears fall. These damn tears are happening a lot lately and you hate it. You hate them as much as you do everyone else.
Stop it, stop it!
Youâre just so angry, disappointed and disgusted. Sen, why? If this is about the stupid Sports Festival, you had nothing to do with it. Did you cheer him on? Hell no. But you were impressed despite everything. If Izukuâs fight triggered this then oh my God. You had nothing to do with that.
  Noa gurgles and you turn around with puffy eyes and a forced smile. You rub your face and smack your cheeks. âHey, Noa.â
  He sits up in his crib. His eyes that look full of life and wonder peer up at you, studying. Noa stands up and reaches for you. âNah, I donât think thatâs a good idea. Youâre getting too used to being held.â
  For literally one second he accepts this then takes it all back with a scream. Despite the noise, youâre firm. âYou need to learn to be by yourself, yâknow.â
  His round eyes look up at you. You wonder what heâd say other than papa. Then again, when they start to talk, they become even more annoying. You just stand in front of him, watching his reaction. Heâs technically fine and definitely not real.
 There is a knock on the door again that goes unanswered. Then again and again. Someoneâs probably complaining about the noise again or how Noaâs started a chain reaction and now theyâre pissed. Itâs always the same, itâs always angry here. And you are fully aware youâre the main contributor.
Another knock and another. Noa cries for papa even though Kaibara got off the hook again. You lost, again. War of words has always been considered your forte, so suffering a loss for the nth time because of heroes breaks your heart. You canât win here.
 Noa is still crying for some reason. How can you comfort him before comforting yourself?Â
â(Y/n)!â Izukuâs arms sweep Noa up. The doll rubs his face along his shoulder. âIâm here, Iâm here.â
How many times have heroes said that and lied? Every time. Theyâve never shown a lick of care. Here one is pretending to care about anyone but himself. A boy with everything at his fingertips and has used it to make you miserable. Him and that peppermint thing in his class. If you were to ever see that asshole, youâre punching him in the face.Â
âAre you ok-â Izuku sees you side eye Noa with a blank expression. Izuku places Noa back in his crib. Your eyes go to Izuku. âGet out.â
  âI know youâre upset; I am on your side. Please, donât take it out on Noa.â
âHeâs not real, Midoriya,â With a smirk on your face and malicious intent, you face him. âSo donât worry your green boy scout head. You canât disappoint him. Unfortunately, you also canât gain praise. He's just another thing you heroes use to punish us with.â
  Izuku glares and walks towards you. âBecause of your kindâŠâ You take a deep breath. âIâm stuck here, and I have to deal with this shit. No job, a child, and a venomous boy who bit me for no reason.â
  You poke his chest. âWhat are the worst parts? I get pitied by the boy that did all of this and the thing heâs friends with is still here, sleeping happily. Living and relaxing while the rest of us go through the wringer.â Izuku grabs your offending hand that repeatedly pushes on him. âAnd that thing in the crib isnât even real, yet I suffer for it. You heroes shouldâve crumbled years ago.â You hear Noa sniffle.
Rather than fight back like you craved for, as you expected, he pulls you in and wraps his arms around you. âYou think you donât want it, that you donât want my help. But dearest, take it anyway. You will take it."
  Why does he keep hugging you? Everything is happening at once. Thereâs no way you can support Noa with what you get. The only thing left is to give him to Kaibara since he can support him. That means you will be basing your grade, your scholarship, into the hands of someone who hates you. Someone who is spiteful. And the one who is holding you is someone who doesnât even know you, who pities you, the scholarship kid.
âLet me go.â You growl. He shakes his head no. You growl, struggling to get out of his hold. âI donât need your pity.â
âIâm not giving it. Thatâs for people who could have done better and chose not to. You donât deserve it.â His voice is low in your ear. It feels like vibrations. âYouâre too young to be a mother, this is just an assignment, and yet you have a motherâs tears, and I hate it. So, Iâve decided not to pity you. I will help you because I care and understand. I know someone who had the same tears, and I hated it then, too. Do you understand? I will help you whether you like it or not because IÂ care.â
  Your breath is shaky. He cradles your body with one arm and his other hand goes to your head, bringing it to him and placing a kiss on it that neither of you will talk about. You pause, no longer crying.
âYou want to help, Deku?âÂ
He tenses for a second. âYes?â He separates himself from you to look at your small smile. âCan you watch Noa for a second? I just need some air. Iâll be back soon, promise.â
--------------------------
You charge through the library on a mission. For years, the people have had to play by the heroes' rules and millions of people get left behind. Look at League, who just needed help and when they opened their mouth, it was smacked. Then heroes stomped on them to their death.
  You put several old and weathered books in Noaâs stroller that youâre using as a cart. âBad influence? Kenâs a bad influence? What the hell are you a saint?â
Books fall into the stroller. The librarian comes around and tells you to calm down. You cry out, âYou are the bad influence! How many people have to suffer for you to realize that!â
  You come across a tall shelf and raise your hand to the person on the ladder. âThat one! All of them! Give me the U.A. rule books!â U.A prides itself on innovation and progression. The technology used is state of the art and fits any and all heroes and support. However, they are still traditional and play by the old rules as much as society does.
âTo protect a sexual deviant and another who puts his hands on his partner, hell no. A villain is a villain, right? What the fuck does that make you!âÂ
You continue gathering as many books as you can. You struggle to push the stroller to an empty table. âWhyâd you call us?â Benio comes in with Kobeni, of course. Because no way is Yaoyorozu helping him.Â
As you slam books on the table, you ask, âDo you trust me?âÂ
âWhat?â The rest of your class come in. All of them in various conditions. All of Juleâs eyes have bags under them and Sakuraâs usually perfect hair is mussed.Â
âIâm not going down like this. I lost to these assholes twice, maybe even more, because I wasnât prepared. This is their turf. You canât go to someoneâs home field without being prepared.â You set books down on the table. âSo, do you trust me?â
 Benio is the first to realize what you're doing, what you're going to do. âI trust you.â
âIâm not a fucking punk. And none of you are either. I need you to trust me and the move Iâll make for us. I just need your help.â
  âWith what?â Ema comes forward without Hana.Â
âI am going to go head to head with them and show them that they are wrong for this. The project, their expectations, the inequality, all of it. But I need proof to do it because our conditions arenât enough.â
  âWhat do you need?â Benio lifts one brow. âI need eyes, I need study partners who will read with me, I need support. Jule,â You point to the four eyed boy. âI need your camera to document this and the confrontation. The people are going to see every bit of this.â
  âWonât we get in trouble?âÂ
âFor what? Posting on social media? As long as you donât tag the school, weâll be fine. Itâll spread on its own. Jule, I need you to be in charge of recording and Sakura,â She looks at you with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
âBakugou does everything with Mira. But this has to be getting in your way and bothering you. You gave up arguing because you knew we couldnât oppose it at the time. Sakura, you have to be angry too, right?â She nods. âThen I need you to help Jule with posting it. You and Jule will handle the media. Hansuke, when itâs time, youâll invite the school to the assembly so everyone can see it.â
 Hansuke, normally a social butterfly, is naturally charismatic. Itâs so crazy that he could charm anyone. Heâs the perfect guy to convince people. Without another second of delay, Hansuke smiles and nods. He waves his manicured hand. âAnything for you, pretty.â
 âWhat about me?â Rikoâs voice is quiet. She rubs her arm and stares down at her feet. âDo you trust me too, Riko?â
As far as you know, she is going to counseling with the dog hero and has made some progress. However, there are times when she retreats. Now looks like one of those moments. Sometime later you need to see if sheâs doing okay. You want to give her space but not so much she gets lost. You donât know what he did to her, all you can see are the results of it.Â
She bites her lip. âI have nothing to do with this project.âÂ
âNo, but because of this and their negligence, Mineta harassed you. They only got rid of him when it came to your expense. There has to be rules against what they did and if there isnât, let the people decide.â
  Her eyes peer up at you. Theyâre glossy and scared. âI trust you.â
âUnderstand, this will take months for justice. Weâre taking this to the top, not the principal, not the teachers. No, weâre taking it up with their boss.â
  Jule asks, âHawks? The commissioner, Hawks?â
âYep. Going to Nezu does fucking nothing. But Hawks? We need ammo, we need all types of shit. Most of all, I need you to trust me to go in front of this man, the most powerful man in this country with everything I got. It will take months. This isnât something to just throw at the big guy. No,â
You lean in with the most serious expression. âEven if the project ends before I can begin, I am going to burn this school to the ground.â
âLetâs do this.â Benio smiles and sets Kobeni down on the chair and picks up one of the hero law books.
a/n: the library scene is like Bernadine's from Waiting to Exhale. It fit the moment.

Character:Â librarian!Andy Barber
Note: My baby bird, dove!
As per usual, I humbly request your thoughts! Reblogs are always appreciated and welcomed, not only do I see them easier but it lets other people see my work. I will do my best to answer all I can. Iâm trying to get better at keeping up so thanks everyone for staying with me <3
Your feedback will help in this and future works (and WiPs, I havenât forgotten those!)
Love you all. Take care. đ
You sit staring at the television, tucked into the corner of the couch as Andy sits on the other end. He has his feet up, still nursing his back, as he watches the game. You try to keep up with the outs and runs and all that but you donât really get all that. You canât focus anyway, all you can think about is how rotten you are.
You wanted to go to your room but he didnât let you. He said you shouldnât hide away from your mistakes. That heâs not mad and if youâre going to move forward, you canât just sleep off your guilt. You donât argue. Heâs right.
âHoney,â Andy groans, âpills are wearing off.â
He touches his lower back as you wince and glance over at him. You pout as the bruise under his eye stares back at you starkly. Youâre horrible. You canât believe you did that to him. You cup your elbow before quickly ripping your hand away.
âYou want more?â You ask.
âNo, I canât,â he mopes, âcan only have so many a dayââ
He goes to lean forward and hisses, clutching his hip as he pulls his legs off the ottoman. He curls his shoulders and whimpers as you hop up to your feet. You go towards him but donât reach out to him.
âWhat can I do?â You offer.
âThe cream,â he pushes himself back with some effort, âsweetie,â he gasps, âoh, godâ help me up.â
âNo, you should stayââ
âI canât stay on the couch,â he grits as he latches onto your arm, jarring you. You squeak but donât pull back. Heâs too strong and youâre too afraid. âHelp me to bed. Itâll help.â
âUm, okay,â you help him up as best as you can. âIâm sorryââ
âItâs fine,â he snarls through his teeth, âI just need to lay down.â
âAlright, uh, oh, wait,â you stop and angle away from him to snatch up the tube of cream, âgot it.â
He puts his hand on your shoulder, gripping firmly, âgood girl.â
You suck in your lower lip and nod. You just want him to feel better. Or maybe you just want to feel better. You get rid of the sour bile eating away at your stomach. The hot guilt that burns a hole inside of you.
He limps, one hand on his back, as he hunches awkwardly, and you take each stunted step with him. At the stairs, you take each one at a time, as he clings to the railing with other hand. He lets out a series of rasps grumbles as you ascend.
Earlier, he seemed to be getting better. When you sat down and talked, you donât remember him slouching or flinching. Maybe the pills helped. You heard those things can sometimes make people feel better so they hurt themselves worse in the end by doing too much.
You turn down the hallway with him, nearly tripping as you look ahead to his bedroom door. Youâve never been in there. You have no place there. You feel like enough of an intruder. He needs your help and you need to stop being selfish.
You shuffle down to the door and push it open ahead the both of you. You get him past the threshold as he staggers. The room smells of him. The hint of his cologne and a strand of sweat cloying from the bed.Â
You put your arm around his back as he yelps and you manage to get him to the bed. He drops down so harshly, he takes you with him. You land beside him, your arm trapped beneath him as you grip the cream in your other. He grumbles into a soft laugh.
âSorry, dove,â he gives a strained smile, âI⊠Iâm going to end up throwing your back out too at this rate.â
âUm, itâsâŠâ you yank on your arm, several times before you manage to get free. You sit up on the edge of the bed and look back at him, âitâs okay. ErâŠâ
He wriggles and reaches for you again. You do your best to help as he gets himself straight and you pile his pillows at the head of the bed. You step back and reclaim the tube of cream. He bends and arm up and tugs at the back of his shirt, whining and letting his hand fall to his lap.
âDoveâŠâ
You get up onto the mattress and set the tube beside your leg. You gently roll his shirt up and get it over his head. He curls his neck as he struggles to get his arms higher than his shoulders. You leave the shirt to droop down his arms as he raises his head.
âOh, uh,â you once more grab the lotion.
âSame place as before, dove,â he says.
âAlright,â you uncap the cream.
He moves slowly and lowers himself onto one side, his back facing you. You squeeze out a dollop and stare at it as the smell tickles your nose. You exhale and turn your palm, pressing it to his back before you can force yourself to watch.Â
Thereâs something strange about touching him. You donât touch others and they donât touch you. You must just not be used to it. You rub the cream in, tracing the line of his shoulder blade up to his neck. He lets out a long moan and balls his hand around the corner of the pillow. The noises he makes are just as odd to you.
âThatâs so nice,â he purrs, âthank you, dove.â
âMhmm,â you put the lid on and back off the bed. You put the cream on the nightstand as you get to your feet, âIâm gonna wash my hand.â
âSure, sure,â he murmurs, âwill you come back? I donât want to be alone.â
You round the bed and stop at the foot. You peek back at him. You want to say no. You want to go and sleep. Itâs been a terribly long day. A terrible day in all ways. But he needs you and youâre being selfish.
âIâll come back,â you promise.
âThank you,â he sounds close to tears, âyou could⊠bring your tablet and watch something.â
You consider him. Youâve never seen him look anything close to small but as he lays on his side, shoulders slumped, he doesnât seem so scary. You sniff and keep your hand away from your shirt as you fall back into step.
âSure.â
âAnd⊠and you could wear some of your new pajamas?â He suggests.
You stop in the doorway and donât look back, âyes.â
You leave him and stop in the bathroom to wash off your hand. Itâs starting to feel weird from the cream. You shut off the faucet and look over as the speaker keeps flashing. You frown. You forgot to tell him.
You cross the hall to your bedroom and dig out your tablet. Youâve been so distracted, you havenât done much drawing. The days feel like a muddled mess behind you and you expect those ahead of you donât seem much better.
You rest the tablet on the bed and go to the dresser, still crooked and displaced. You change into the pair of pajamas Andy chose. The ones with the little teddy bears. You like the pattern but not the cut. The top is long-sleeved but cut high around the stomach and the shorts are less preferable than pants. Maybe you can just hide under the blanket.
You bring your tablet with you and stop just before you get to his door. That sinking in your stomach plummets. You have a very bad feeling. A feeling that you never wanted to have again.
You enter as he lays in the dim room. The lamp is turned low and the corns webbed in shadow. You near the side of the bed and Andy pats the space beside him. You donât let him see your reluctance as you climb up next to him.
âThank you,â he croaks, âitâs not so bad, is it, dove? Working together⊠being better.â
âYes,â you murmur as you unlock your tablet. âI⊠Iâm trying.â
âI know, baby, I know,â he hums.
He rests his hand on your thigh, making your jump. You try to ignore it as you scroll on Youtube. You drag your finger over the screen as he slips onto the bare skin along the hem of the shorts. You blink, frozen as he kneads your flesh.
âI donât⊠I donât have Netflix,â you utter, âor anythingâŠâ
âThatâs okay,â he wiggles closer, a few strenuous grunts in the process. He lifts his head and leans over, kissing just along your shoulder, âI just like having you close.â
âPlease, donât hurt yourself,â you plead as you keep from shrugging him away, âyou have to relax.â
âOh, dove, I know you care about me,â he lets himself back down, âI can feel how much you do.â
âMhmm,â you tap on a video, a top ten list. Theyâre pretty lame but you donât want to think too much. You prop up the tablet on your lap and ease back against the single pillow behind you.
Andyâs hand lingers. He lets it trail down to your knee and back up. He plays with the bottom of the shorts.
âThese look so good on you,â his finger tickles you until goosebumps rise.
âThanks,â your eyes stick to the small screen in front of you. Your ears are ringing and hot.
âEverything looks good on you,â he breathes.
âUm, Andy,â you eke out, âI⊠the speaker in the bathroom is broken.â
Heâs quiet as his fingers continue to swirl over your skin, âspeaker?â He says at last.
âYeah, the speaker. It keeps flashing.â
âHuh, uhâ ohhhh, yeah, the speaker,â he chuckles, âI keep forgetting to charge it. Iâll have to do that later. It will stop flashing soon enough.â
âOh, alright,â you fold your hands over your stomach, âjust thought Iâd let you know.â
âAnd I appreciate it,â his fingers poke under your shorts, âyou see how good you can be to me when you try?â
âYes,â your voice crackles as he nestles closer, drawing his hand back only to sling his arm across your lap.
âIâm gonna rest my eyes,â he hugs your thighs, âis that okay, sweetie?â
âSure,â you agree. If heâs asleep, he canât be mad or touchy or anything else. If he sleeps, he wonât be in pain.
đïž
Once more, your body takes over. You donât remember the video changing or the tablet going black. Yet you wake on your side, head on the pillow, and your tablet screen down on the mattress in front of your legs.
Behind you is a blaze of heat. Itâs just like before. Andyâs flush to you, his arm swept around you, his breath puffing around your head. But this time, you make yourself stay still. You squeeze your eyes shut and fight against the tide rising inside of you.
Itâs okay. Youâre okay. Youâre safe. You blow out a breath and force your eyes open. You focus on the wall and try to remember those tricks Amber showed you. Just count to ten and breathe.
You do it. All on your. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. You feel your heart calming, not all the way, but some. Enough to keep from flailing.
You lay awake, resigned to the trap of Andyâs arm. It isnât so bad. Itâs warm, at least.Â
He exhales ahead you, the soft gristle of his snore rising and falling in a rhythm. His hand is tucked under you, his body right against yours. You shift, wanting to fidget but afraid to wake him up. Your heartbeat begins to pick up again.
He moves but doesnât wake. He holds you even closer and you feel something against you. Something hard. You frown, uncertain what it could be. Youâre pretty sure you put the tube on the night table and it feels bigger than that.
You try to shimmy away but you canât get far against his arm. You should just go back to sleep. The night will end sooner if you do.
You close your eyes but the noise in your head wonât stop. Youâre not going to be able to fall asleep with all these thoughts. Not with him so close. Not being so aware of that fact.
Then you realise. You know what it is, pressing against you. Thatâs a part of him. Your cheeks are alight with embarrassment. For him, for you. Oh god. If you woke him up and he knew. You donât want him to know.
You make yourself still, bound by the dread of him waking up. Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep. You canât, you just canât. Not with his arm around you, not with his hot breath searing down your neck, not with his thing against you!
How can you ever sleep knowing you canât be what he wants you to be? Or needs you to be? Itâs all just too much for you. Itâs so scary.
You want to love him like he says you do but youâre just lost. You must be broken. Andy loves you, he's taken care of you, he's been patient with you. And you are just as messed up as you've always been.
You hope Andy is right. You hope Dr. Kemp can help.
You squeeze your eyes tight. Just count to ten. You can make it to the morning.

CHAPTER 13
âAm I interrupting?â
Your eyes snapped open as you turned to look at Robin who walked right into your office with a smirk to her face. You rolled your eyes, turning back to look at your phone with a shake of your head, the male on the other side laughing.
âYou know what Buckley, you are.â Eddie said and you saw his smile spreading as he also earned another roll of your eyes.Â
âEddie is just showing me what else needs replacing in my car.â
âCause you took it to Rickâs all this time, and everything in it is garbageââ
âDonât insult my car Munson.â You glared at the phone this time and he raised one hand up in defense.
Itâs been two weeks since you talked with Eddie⊠And since then, you two have grown close⊠Very close. How you didnât talk to Eddie before? You had no idea. When you all get together at the bar or at someoneâs house, you two always end up in your own world. You assumed that you were both trying to catch up on eachother, learning about one another still, and you were surprised each day by how easy and normal it was to talk to him.
âTo me, it sounds like you are replacing me.â Robin pouted as she walked over to you to come into frame and glare at Eddie through the camera and the man only smirked at her with a playful glint in his eyes.
âAw, youâre scared Iâm going to steal your best friend status Buckley?â
âThatâs never happening.â You said in a deadpan expression which made Eddie pull an offended frown on his eyebrows.
âSeriously? I give you friendly discounts at my shop!â He yelled at you and you couldnât help but snort at how he tried to sound hurt from it, but it only came out as a comical act.
âYou canât buy my friendship Munson, and even if you handed me a billion dollars, Robin will always be first.â At your words, Robin blew a raspberry towards the phone, throwing a fart sound at Eddie. Robinâs arms wrapped around your waist and she rested her head on your shoulder while looking at Eddie, a grin to her face.
âYou wish this was you, huh.â For some reason, those words Robin let out of her mouth gave you a feeling of embarrassment? They just simply made your belly twist in a way that wasnât comfortable but it wasnât unpleasant.Â
Eddie on the other side shook his head, yet he felt his jaw clenching slightly, which he dismissed immediately.Â
âSure. Anyways, I gotta go, the new brake discs are coming in next week. We really need to put those in at least before you cause an accident.â You rolled your eyes at him and before you could say anything against that, âNo comebacks. I am surprised you didnât die yet.â
âI drive safely.â You retorted, almost offended, but Robin was amused and let out a snort out of her mouth. Your head snapped to look at her with a death glare and she backed away from you with her hands up in the air in defense.
âIâll believe it when I see it. Talk to you later.â
âSureâ Oh, about the paymentââ
âNext month is okay.â You sighed at his words and you shook your head at him.
âI can do a check.â It was his turn to snort.
âNo, itâs fine, seriously Peach.â Eddie sucked in his right cheek as he looked at you and his brows twitched slightly when you sent a smile his way. It was still new, this friendship you two have, and it seems he is still a little weirded out that you smile at him so easily. Not that he is any different.Â
âAlright, if you insist, I will take advantage of your kindness.â You heard a commotion behind him as he squatted slightly as if ducking and he just yelled at someone before turning back at you.
âI gotta go before these fuckers do somethingâ FUCKING CHRIST, GARETHâ!â And then the call ended. You were left laughing at the whole ordeal, putting the phone down to go back to your laptop, only to feel a presence behind you and you remembered your best friend came into the room a few minutes ago. You turned your chair to look at her, and Robin had her arms crossed over her chest as she looked at you.
âWell, I see youâre slowly changing me.â Robin has always been known for over exaggerating things, and this was one of them. You rolled your eyes and turned again to type on your computer.
âI am not Robs.â You defended yourself but it was true you and Eddie had become very close, but it wasnât as nearly as how you and Robin are.Â
âYou talk to him everyday, be it because of a TikTok or a Reel, or just simply messaging.â Robin walked towards you and leaned her butt against the edge to rest there as she looked down at you.Â
âWe just⊠We clicked. Putting the past behind us.â
âWhich still sounds fucking crazy to me. To everyone reallyâ I mean, you two really hated each other.â And you didnât need a reminder of that.Â
âIt was very pitiful. We were hurting each other when we could have helped one another. I hurt him and he hurt me, and all for nothing.â Robin nodded at you, and she agreed with you on that. You had told her about what you and Eddie talked about, and you even bared to her how guilty you felt about so many things you said to him.Â
Robin explained that everyoneâs stories are private, so you didnât really blame her for not telling you stuff about Eddieâs life, just like she didnât tell Eddie anything about you.
âI know⊠I am glad though. You two seem to be enjoying one anotherâs company so⊠thatâs good.â Robin said sincerely and you smiled up at her. âAnd what about Billy? How do you think everything will go once they meet?â
âWell, I think they will hit it off instantly.â In all honesty, you didnât know if that was true. Eddie and Billy had different yet alike personalities in some sense. Aloof, cheeky, yet attentive if needed. It would be the first time you were going to introduce Eddie to him, and Billy only knows Eddie as the friend who sends you memes all the time.
He doesnât even know his name is Eddie. You will introduce them tomorrow night.
And you were hoping everything turns out okay.
Things with Billy have beenâŠ
Normal.
Ever since meeting your friends, your boyfriend has been a little bit weirder than usual. You wanted to have an all together with his friends and yours, so that the two groups would collide and meet, but all you received from your boyfriend was a talk on how his friends are known figures, and they cannot be seen going out at all.
That felt weird in some sense because you distinctly remember them saying something about going out to a club whenever they get a chance to do so. They didnât look like the type of people that would avoid the public eye, but rather, seek it. Always seeking it.
Today, you and your boyfriend would go to Robin and Steveâs home, get some drinks, spend time with your friends, but sometimes now you just want to be alone with them. Your boyfriend, even if at the beginning was not very friendly with your group, he now seems to want to be included at every gathering.
You didnât want to be a bitch about it, cause maybe he does like talking to Argyle a lot. But, they can just message each other to get together by themselves, right? No need for Billy to always be on an outing with you, yet, he sticks with you like a leech.Â
You wonder how tonight everything will go with Eddie. Hopefully, he is the one that makes your boyfriend finally have some fun inside the group. Youâre pretty sure they will get along nicely⊠hopefully.
You were in the bathroom, throwing the curtain to the side in order to open it as steam floods the entire tiled room. You step out of the tub after turning off the scorching water, just how you like it. Hot showers always help with your nerves, they never miss it. You sigh in contentment only to be struck with the fact that you didnât bring a towel inside.Â
You groaned as your body started shivering slightly as the air hit your wet skin. You didnât want to yell so much in respect for your neighbors, so you leaned and opened the door, opening your mouth to call out to your boyfriend, only to stop when you heard his muffled voice behind the bedroom door.Â
âI told you I donât want to do it!â
Silence.
âI donât want to be part of something I donât see right.â
Silence again. What is he talking about?
âI know itâs for publicity, I know, and I donât care what the voting polls in social media say, I wonât stand for something I donât believe is right.â
Polls? Social media?
âOkay, okay, fine. Fine. I will say I stand by it.â
You were blinking, trying to understand what your boyfriend was talking about just now. A publicity stunt? Agree to what? A belief of his? You heard footsteps and immediately closed the door of the bathroom as quietly as possible and you felt your heart beating loudly in your chest. You jumped in your place when he knocked on the door.
âBaby? You okay in there?â Fuck, he canât know you were eavesdropping.
âY-Yeah! I was calling you to get me a towel but you werenât listening to me Billy! I am freezing over here!â You tried to put on that whiny voice he loves when you get a little bit angry at him. You heard him chuckle but wince at your tone.
âShit honey, Iâm sorry. Iâll get it for you!â You heard his steps walk away from the bathroom and you let out the air you were holding in.
Somethingâs not right.
Something is definitely not right.
You donât know what it is, but there is just this feeling in your gut that something will happen, that something is not what it seems, that there is this idea in your head you are afraid that is true but you donât want to believe it. Not from him. Not when you started to feel more and more for him each day.
Only to be starting to wash away the more and more you learn from him.
âBilly!â You yelled again and the door opened completely, revealing a smirking Billy Hargrove on the other side while holding a white towel in hand.Â
âYou want it?â He aimed to hand it to you, but as soon as you were going to catch it, he snatched it away with his teeth showing. âCome get it.â
And thatâs how you end up chasing your stupid boyfriend through the whole apartment, completely naked while he runs around, laughing in delight, towel in hand.Â
You didnât want to believe it.
So when you finally get to dry yourself off, and get some clothes on for tonight is when your nerves start settling in, harder than before. Something in your gut was turning, uncomfortably, nervously, knowing that something was not right, that something was going to happen, that something had been happening all this time that you decided to simply look away from.
You looked at him, at your splendid boyfriend and you still donât know how he chose someone like you. How he decided it was you the one he was going to risk his fame for. He was choosing a red button-up shirt today, his hair in a small ponytail in the back. You donât know how you two came to be.
And yet, you still havenât told him your story. You havenât told him a few parts of yourself you didnât feel ready to tell him, but will that time ever come? Why is it so hard to open up to him?
âYou ready to go?â Billy asked you as he walked towards you after checking himself in the mirror one last time. You smiled up at him and gave him a nod.
âYeah. Letâs go.â
âYou finally made it, Jesus.â Robin greeted you as she opened the door for you, and you rolled your eyes at your friendâs comment. You were late, yes⊠but it was because Billy took his sweet time always getting ready. You scolded him a few times for it, but he always tells you he has to keep his skincare routine intact.Â
âWhat a greeting.â You heard Billy mutter under his voice as you two walked into the house, music already invading your ears and the chattering of your friends, making your nerves go away a little, only for confusion and disappointment to fill your gut. You turned your head as Robin came back from closing the door behind you both.
âWhereâs Eddie?â You asked, and your boyfriendâs head snapped to you and then back at Robin.
âI think he is running late! What, already missing your NEW best friend?â Robin answered with a huff, and you could only giggle at her jealousy, not noticing the storm that was brewing inside your boyfriendâs chest.Â
âQuit that Robs.â
âWhoâs Eddie?âÂ
Robin looked at your boyfriend for a second with a confused frown on her face and then back at you. For some reason, there was a turn in your stomach because you realized you never told Billy about Eddie. He just knew there was a friend missing from the group he still hadnât met yet.
âUm, the last friend you donât know.â You looked at him and his blue orbs were not very helpful. You couldnât quite read his eyes as they looked at you, but a twitch in the eyebrow told you he was thinking.Â
âWhy did she call him your best friend?â And Robin was looking panicked between you and your boyfriend, and you simply smiled at Billy, shaking your head.
âItâs Robin being dramatic.â
âWhy did she call him that? I meanââ And you could see the moment Billyâs head clicked, an eyebrow raised up. âIs he the one youâve been talking to for the past few weeks?â
âOkay, you say we talked, we mostly sent memes to one another.â You tried to defend yourself, but against what? You didnât do anything wrong. So why do you feel the need to explain yourself?
âRight.â You could see the change in mood in Billyâs body language. This night was already turning in a way that you didnât expect, or you wanted to avoid. Robin shot you a look with a worried frown and you turned to go into the living room where everyone else was.Â
âBilly! My man!â You could hear Argyle yell and god fucking bless Argyle. You saw how he rushed towards you both as Robin walked towards Nancy and whispered into her ear. You knew she was going to tell Nancy about what just happened at the front door with Billy. There is an uneasiness in your throat as Argyle hands you a beer and Billy another.Â
âHi, Argyle.â Billy spoke and you took a sip out of your beer as you felt Billyâs arm wrap around your waist, pulling you close. You raised an eyebrow at that, looking at him. Why did he trap you with him? You wanted to go say hi to Steve and Jonathan, but you guessed you could do that in a few minutes.
âI have so much to tell you Billy man, I tried that shampoo and conditioner you recommended and it left my hair perfectly smooth, but curly man!â You couldnât help but giggle at Argyleâs commentary and Billy followed through, shaking his head at your friend.
âI told you to get that brand but for straight hair. Not curly.â You looked at Argyleâs hair and sure enough, there were some waves at the end of his long hair. Billy smiled but there was a hint of something hidden behind it as he talked to Argyle once more, âWho is this Eddie guy?â
âAh, my brochacho, we met way back in California, and then I followed him here.â Argyle replied with a genuine smile and Billy for some reason let out a sigh of relief, making you frown in confusion.Â
âOh, thatâs nice. You two are close then.âÂ
âYeah, very!â You felt the tightness on your waist loosen up, and Billy shot a smile your way, kissing the top of your head. You blinked in confusion and you stepped away to finally go greet Steve and Jonathan who were looking at you with worried faces.
âWhat was that all about?â Steve asked and you shook your head, taking a long sip out of your beer. There was a pit in your stomach, a nervousness you couldnât quite describe, a sense of deja vu of some sort.
âI have no clue, butâŠâ You didnât want to worry your friends with these things going on inside your head. They would question your boyfriend and you donât want that but at the same time, you want to tell someone about these feelings youâve been having lately, or the realization of these feelings.Â
Itâs not like you didnât notice the drastic changes in Billy over the past months, and it all started when he met your friends, but it got better⊠Yet, you couldnât help but notice certain aspects and your feelings started swaying from side to side. A sense of dread, of being afraid to know the truth.
âBut?â Jonathan asked and you opened your mouth to then close it once again when the doorbell rang, making your head turn to the direction of the door. You were feeling your heart in your throat, and excitement grew in your stomach.
Nancy was the one who walked to get the door this time, and you looked over at Argyle and Billy talking excitedly. You saw how Argyle was gesturing as he talked, and you saw how your boyfriend laughed at his commentary. Maybe he and Eddie will get along. You were worrying about nothing.
And then Nancy stepped aside to let Eddie walk in.Â
You felt some heat coming up on your cheeks, across your body, but you shook it off as the beer kicking in your system. Your eyes scanned his outfit now. Dark jeans, ripped in some parts, a tight Slayer T-Shirt with a jean vest on top. His hair was in a low bun like always, and the stubble was neatly done.Â
You wondered what cologne he was using today.
Your mind was snapped back in reality when Eddie approached you, putting the six-pack on the table. He had a warm smile on his face as he flicked your forehead with his middle finger. You winced at the sudden pain, rubbing your skin while glaring up at him.
âWhat was that for!?â You whined at him and he raised an eyebrow at you.
âFor making me watch the stupidest movie ever.â
âDid you just call âWhen Harry Met Sallyâ stupid!?â You couldnât help but be slightly upset by that. It was one of your favorites, and you also liked watching Eddieâs movie suggestion, âArmageddonâ.
âI am not a fan of those kinds of movies sweetheart.â He was looking at you as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, but there was a sly smile in his lips, tugging up, making you smile at him.
âYouâre a lying piece of shit. You liked the movie.â He chuckled and shook his head at you, but you knew he liked it. He was just messing with you to get a rise out of you.
âIâm not lying.â
âYes you are! You loved that cheesy crap, admit it.â You poked his side, which made him chuckle, moving away from you.
âThis is still too weird.â You heard Jonathan talk and you lifted your head to ask what he meant only for your waist to suddenly be grabbed, fingers digging into the skin making you wince just slightly. You turned your head to see Billy looking at Eddie with a grin on his face.
âI donât think weâve met.â The voice your boyfriend let out was not friendly. It was strained as if it pained him talking right now. Eddie glanced at you for just a second, and you cleared your throat as your nerves tried to get the best of you.
âRight, Billy, this is Eddie.â Eddie gave your boyfriend a forced smile, and you could feel the tension in the air as the light blue eyes clashed with the brown ones.Â
âYeah. Youâre Argyleâs boyfriend, right?â
Oh. Oh god. Itâs happening again. Eddieâs eyebrow twitched and gave you a questioning look and he could see the confused frown on your face. He looked at his friend and sighed, knowing that Argyle probably made it sound that way. Just like he did last year with you and you mistook it all as well.
âFucking christâ No. He is just my friend.â
âOh?â Billyâs eye twitched as he kept looking at Eddie, and you could feel him tugging you closer to him as he kept looking at the dark-haired man. âThen you arenât dating?â
âNo. I am straight.â
And for some reason, you felt the whole air shift. Eddieâs face suddenly fell into a confused frown, and then into an annoyed one instantly, as Billyâs gaze hardened.Â
âRight. He is the friend youâve been messaging all the time?â
Billyâs eyes now landed on you and you looked at him to only have a sinking feeling in your stomach. You felt your throat closing up at his gaze, and you knew. You simply knew what was going on in his mind. Eddie was looking back and forth in between you and Billy, and he could see how your boyfriendâs jaw clenched.
âIâ umââÂ
âBilly! You promised to help me with the drinks!â You heard Argyle yell from the kitchen and Billy groaned as he closed his eyes in annoyance. You felt a slight grip on your waist again and then he let go of you, almost unwillingly, giving Eddie one last look before he left. You were staring at his retreating back as he headed to the kitchen, with a confused frown on your face.
âHeâs⊠charming.â Eddie said with not an ounce of likeness in his tone, almost in disgust. He had a bad feeling in his stomach, but he wasnât going to tell you that. He didnât want to alarm you in any way, but you looked already confused and nervous. He didnât want to add more wood to the fire.
âIâ I need a smoke.â You stated and immediately rushed out to the backyard, fumbling with the pack of cigarettes in the pocket of your purse. What was going on? Why did Billyâs demeanor change so suddenly? You never told him it was Eddie the one you were messaging, but did it really matter?
You put the cigarette in your mouth, and now you were fumbling to get the lighter out, but you couldnât find it. Billy doesnât like it when you smoke, but he smokes as well. You donât understand that train of thought, but you don't care right now. A flame appeared in front of you from a red lighter and you knew who it was without even looking at him. You leaned forward and lit the cigarette, taking a long puff.
âYou look nervous.â Eddie lit his own stick, mimicking the long puff like you did, and you both let out the smoke out of your lungs.
âI just⊠donât understand why he is being⊠this possessive?â
âWell, he might be overwhelmed by how much more of a man I am.â He joked and you snorted, shaking your head at him. He gave you a small grin and took another puff of his cigarette. âYou also look pretty today, people tend to become protective when their partner shines.â
You were taken aback by his response. Did you hear him right?
âOh Munson thinks I am pretty.â You joked, taking another swig of your stick, turning to look at him, but he wasnât laughing as he looked to the distance.
âNo denying there.â
Thump.
He was just being friendly. Steve complimented you before, Nancy did too, so it should be fine. He was just being a nice friend, telling you that you look nice tonight, that is all. So why do you feel your hands sweating?
âUhââ
âAre you not going to say I look pretty too? Câmon, I even put a red shirt on today, not a black one.â He chuckled to lose the tension but inside, Eddie was a little nervous. The compliment slipped out of his tongue with ease, too much ease. You giggled, the tension going away, and shook your head at him.
âThe red and the black go hand in hand with you, itâs not new.âÂ
âWhat do you want me to wear? A pink shirt? A baby blue crop top?â You exploded with laughter at the image that came to your head, making him face you with a smile to his face.
âWith the care bears at the front!â At that, he too let out a laugh. It was easy being with Eddie, carefree, natural even. You were still amazed by that fact, and cannot even remember how you two disliked each other before.Â
You both smoked your cigarettes, sharing jokes with one another, laughing, making the nervousness in your belly leave to a faraway place.
âItâs crazy to think I almost beat the shit out of you out here and now we are laughing together.â You put the cigarette out in the small ashtray that was on the garden table and Eddie followed suit with a chuckle.
âYou? Beating the shit out of me? Are you sure about that Peach?â He stood in front of you, crossing his arms over his chest as he inspected you with a squint of his eyes. You copied his stance, and his eyes diverted for a second to your cleavage and went back up to your eyes.
âYou think I canât?â He barked out a laugh at that.
âSweetheart, if I wanted to, I could pin you to the floor using only one hand.â
And oh, that didnât cause the reaction you thought it would. It was friendly, it was him telling you he is stronger than you⊠Yet your stomach did a flip at the thought. He could definitely pin you down, and you know that because of his height and the arms that are big and filled with tattoos.Â
He looked at you when you didnât answer him back, and he noticed the look your face had as if processing a thought, and he felt a shockwave run down his spine. His thoughts were cut off when he sensed a pair of eyes looking his way, and he raised his head up to see Billy glaring at him as he leaned over the doorframe of the sliding doors with his arms crossed over his chest.
You blinked and quickly turned around to see your boyfriend with a stern look on his face. Now you realize how fast your heart was beating into your chest, and now you felt the nervousness creep up on you again as you stared at Billyâs piercing gaze.
âBillyââ
âCan I talk to you for a second? Privately?â
You slowly nodded at that, giving Eddie one look telling him sorry youâre leaving, and turned to go with Billy. He didnât grab you or hold your hand, simply turned away, guiding you toward the kitchen. You could sense your friendâs eyes following you as you walked into the kitchen, Billy closing the door behind you.
âUm⊠is everything okay?âÂ
âYou think everything is fucking okay?â
You were stunned at his aggressiveness, never had heard him this way before. You didnât know what could have possibly happened tonight, but you might have just a slight idea of what and why.
âWhat is wrong with you?â
âYou fucked him, didnât you?â
And your mouth fell agape at that. Did you hear him right?
âSorry, what did you say?â
âFor fuck sake, you fucked him, didnât you?â
So you did hear right. Was he talking about Eddie? Why would he come up with that conclusion? What made him believe such a thing between you two?
âI was hoping I heard wrong William, what the fuck are you talking about?â Billy only scoffed with a fake smile on his lips as he leaned against the counter.
âDonât you dare lie to me! I know you fucked him. That is not just a friend, calling you 'sweetheart'? Giggling together like middle schoolers?â
Was he serious right now? You were feeling your heart breaking, thrumming in your chest in an aggressive manner, and you wanted to run away, you did, but you had to face him. You had to talk to him, once and for all.
âHe is my friend! I act that way with Steve, Jonathan!â
âYeah, well, theyâre gay! I donât care about them!â You could hear the anger in his voice, the way the vein in his forehead was popping out. Your throat was trying to close as a lump was beginning to form, but you werenât going to back down from this.
âWhat about Argyle!? He is straight and my friend!â You yelled back at him and he ran a hand through his hair as his nostrils started flaring up from anger.
âI donât buy for a second he is straight. He is all over me, all the time.â
And the reality of it all hits you like a brick to the face. You remained quiet for a second, feeling your past months with him slip away from your fingers. The image you had of him had been tainted for a while, but this completely smeared the picture.
âAnd is there a problem if he is?â
And that made Billy look at you, defying you to keep going, almost warning you to shut up, but no⊠not with this. You liked Billy. You really did.
âWhat are you sayingââ
âYou do know that Iâm bisexual, right?â
And silence fell in the kitchen. And you saw it. You saw how his eyes turned from anger to complete confusion, to then frown as he looked at you. It was your turn now to scoff, tears filling your eyes as you started pacing around the kitchen, trying to gather your thoughts.
âYouâŠâ He couldnât even speak, and you didnât want him to. He shouldnât speak now.
âI thought I was fucking wrong, I seriously didnât want to believe it. I didnât want to believe that my boyfriend⊠that my boyfriend isââ You cannot even say the word. You canât. You choked on your own sob as you covered your mouth with your hand. Billyâs face softened and he walked towards you, trying to put a hand on your shoulder.
âBabyââ
âDonât fucking touch me!â You swung his hand away with the back of yours and you stepped away, your face displaying the rage that your heart wanted to let out. âLet me ask you a fucking question, Billy. Are you for or against same-sex couples adopting?âÂ
And he realized it. You saw how his face turned into an angry one again, his eyes squinting at you as he remembered earlier today.
âYou eavesdropped.âÂ
âYou bet the fuck I did. And you, Billy Hargrove, are a homophobic asshole.âÂ
Silence.Â
It was like a knife. Those words coming out of your mouth were stabbing you more than they stabbed him. You should have realized it when some of the dark jokes he and his friends did involved⊠you canât even think about it. How could he? Why?
âJust because I do not share the same ideals, doesnât make me homophobic. If I were, I wouldnât be able to even talk to your friends for fuck sake!â He defended himself but what was the point? There wasnât any, your heart couldnât take it anymore, it really couldnât. You could feel the tears sliding down your cheeks, shaking your head at him, taking a step back from him.
âI want you to leave.â Your words came out like venom, and he frowned at you, shaking his head.
âIf I leave, you are coming with me, we need to talk this outââ
âThere is nothing to talk about! Fucking leave!â Your voice was loud, his voice was loud, and everything was static around you, your vision clouding as he came close to you once more, trying to get hold of your hands.
âBaby, baby, come on, donât be like that⊠Weâll go home and weâll talk about thisââ His voice sounded desperate now, and your tears were still running down your cheeks, your mind shutting him out completely as you shook your head again, desperate for him to leave. You didnât want him near you. You were disgusted, completely disgusted.
âN-No!â Billyâs face crumbled into a stern look once more and he quickly got hold of your bicep in a tight grip, snapping you back into reality as he glared down at you.
âI am not leaving you alone here, with him. So if I leave, you are coming with me.â You tried to yank your arm away from his grip but he kept his hand tight on your arm, and you were feeling his digits digging more and more onto your skin, making your fear grow at each second.
âLet go of me Billy!â You tried again only to be pulled against him and you felt as if your heart were in your throat, his touch completely burning you, wanting it away from you. He wasnât physical, never, and this is the first time he ever touched you in this way.Â
âPlease sweets, listen to me!â He was desperate for you, trying to get you to talk to him but you shook your head again and as he tried to move you once more, he felt the back of his shirt be yanked harshly, making him let go of your arm as he stumbled backward.
âWhat the actual fuck do you think you are doing?âÂ
Your eyes widened as you saw a broad back stepping before you, and the smell of wooden cologne immediately invaded your nostrils. You rubbed onto your arm as you straightened up to take a step to the side to see Billy looking at Eddie with a glare in his eyes.
âThis doesnât concern you. It involves me, and my girlfriend.âÂ
âFrom what I heard it seems she doesnât hold that title anymore.â Eddie was almost snarling at Billy, completely blocking him from you in a defensive stance. Billyâs eyes caught yours, shaking his head.
âYouâ Youâre still my girl, right?â
You felt the lump in your throat again, memories of the good times you spent with him flashing in front of your eyes. Memories that made you want to go around Eddie to get to him and hug him and kiss him. But then you saw your friends, looking at the scene at the doorway. Your friends. The ones who wouldnât hurt you, and if they did, never intentionally.
And even if your heart breaks, even if your body trembles with need of him, with the need of his lips, with the need of his eyes on youâŠ
You slowly shook your head at him.
âBye Billy.âÂ
The room fell silent, and you could see Billyâs eyes filled with tears as he looked at you. What the both of you had was genuine, and it was growing to something even more beautiful, but this is not something you can accept from him. Ever. No matter if he tells you he can change because an ideal never changes that easily.
But his saddened frown turned into a sour one, rage filling his features as his gaze turned to Eddie and then back at you.
âYou didnât answer my first question, but I guess it was true then? You remain friends with guys you fuck darling?â
Your heart shattered at his coldness, at him insulting you this way, almost as if he were calling you âslutâ in a very indirect way. A tear rolled down your cheek as you looked at him with shock filled eyes.Â
And it all happened too quickly. Suddenly Billy was face to face with Eddie, as the dark haired man gripped the front of his shirt while he glared down at your now ex-boyfriend. Ex. Another ex.
âGet the fuck out or I will ruin your only source of income pretty boy.â Eddie growled at Billy and pushed him away roughly, making Billy tumble slightly, almost hitting the counter behind him.Â
His eyes searched for yours one last time, and you could see the hurt in them, reflecting your own. You didnât doubt his caring for you, not even a second. It was genuine, all of it, but you cannot forgive him for what he did, and does for publicity. You looked away from him and you heard him sigh, followed by steps that were going towards the doorway where all your friends moved away from so he could go through.
âIâll get my manager to pick my things up from your house. Heâll return yours.â
More steps. More. The front door opening. And then, a slam.
And you broke down.
You were hurt, disgusted, in pain, feeling helpless because of this situation that couldnât be fixed now. Never. No matter if you have feelings for him, if you will miss the days and nights spent with him. Tears ran down your cheeks as you sobbed into your hands, two arms wrapping around you as a lavender scent filled your nostrils.
Robin was cooing at you, rubbing your head, holding you like a baby to her chest. Your hands gripped her shirt as you cried onto it. Yes⊠Even if you are hurting you would never choose someone that hates your friends for their orientation.Â
You wouldnât choose them over Robin who is holding you tenderly and has held you this way many times before. You will hurt. You will cry. You will need time alone and space to gather and piece yourself back together again.
But they will all help you through it. Even Eddie who is behind Robin with a frown in his face, Steve next to him with the same look but his hand was on Eddieâs shoulder, pressing on it.Â
It will be okay.

We LOVE dad Noah here!
How about ummm, oh! A quick lil bubble of Noah going with reader and Eden to get her ears pierced? I know my parents took me as a baby maybe like 8-9 months? Ik some people have feelings about it but I personally am happy there did!
Anyway thank you start love youâ€ïžâ€ïž
A/N: omg so cute!! I know my mom had my ears pierced when I was around 6 to 7 months or so. Maybe a little bit younger, but my dad was definitely very upset I was crying when it happened.đđ
Noah was holding Eden in his lap and bouncing his knee. The month old, simply just enjoying being held by her father. Noah was internally freaking out about her ears being pierced. Of course youâre both OK with her. Having earrings and logically speaking doing it now will be better for her since she wonât remember the pain. Either way it was a quick pinch and should be over in just 10 minutes.
However, on the way over to the establishment started to freak out a little bit. Knowing that the piercing would make her cry. So no he was giving options about waiting until next week or trying to find a place that numb her ear and pierce it instead.
But you were reassuring him that she would be fine and she wouldnât even remember it after five minutes. So now you had a pouty husband to try and comfort while he was waiting in the chair as the employee was readying the needle and earrings. Of course Noah being who he was for his princess got her only the nicest and highest quality earing and piercer. Making sure to look into reviews on how they are with kids.
"Alright are we ready?" the young girl asked. Her bright smile such a contrast to her piercings and tattoos. She was just lovely to speak with as she explained the process "Alright dad, we're going to try and pierce her ears nice and quick. So I'll need to you to hold her head and make sure she doesn't move,"
Noah take the deep breath while he faces his large hand on Eden small head. Her face still not knowing what is to come and knows how was jumping out of his chest. The piercer mark a single dot on each of her loans sure that they both look even before she grabbed the needle gun. Aligning the tip of the needle on her earlobe, she says,
â oh right, weâre gonna try to make this really fast really quick so once Iâm done with this year, Iâm moving right to the second one,â she reiterates she had said before â ready? 1âŠ..2âŠ..3,â
And in the blink of an eye, the gun clicks as appears through her ear. It takes a second for Eden to react actually, trying to understand what had just happened as her lips starts to pout. Her little nose sniffling as a wine, and a cry starts to escape her lips. Noahâs heart broke hearing her starts to cry.
On top of that he was the one holding her head in place so that she wouldnât move and all he wanted to do was to comfort her. And at the same time heâs never felt more rage towards someone who essentially he was paying to do this
The piercer quickly moves to the other side and pierces her ear quickly. â Okay sheâs all done, no more. Iâm sorry princessâ she gives an apologetic look to Noah and Eden we all know it does is turn Eden into him and comfort her. He had his signature mug shot face very upset. His baby was uncomfortable and hurting.
No one stand up from the sea, and he walks around the room, bouncing her to try and calm her down. His large hand no longer holding your head in place, but caressing the soft hair on her head as his lips kiss her forehead.
âIâm so sorry baby. I know Mommy so mean for letting the lady do thatâ he whispers to her and all you could do was go at him as he blamed you partially for it. Luckily you both know was Edenâs main source of calm and comfort. Now you moved to the front desk to pay for the service, eden has calmed down and her crush were reduced to small sniffles as she sucked on her finger to also calm her down.
While your card was being charged, you take a look at her earring and you were very happy with the service. She did great in Eden seem to be dealing with him much better than you had anticipated. On the other hand was still very upset.
âBabe why are you still pouting? Sheâs just fineâ
â Because look at her face, her nose is all red and look at her cheeks. Her eyes are red and watery stillâ no it was very emotional when it came to his precious little princess. He couldnât blame him since he felt the same way. But you knew that the pain for this was temporary and she wouldnât remember it at all by the next day. Just like when you had taken her to the doctor to get her shot after she was born.
While you walk to the car hand-in-hand, no scene to forgive you a bit more as Eden returns to her normal self. As he put her into the car seat, he takes a look at her earrings and tilts his head a bit.
âLook at my princess. Did daddy get you was pretty earrings?â he uses his baby voice with her. âLooking so beautiful, just like Mamaâ
He then turned to you planted a kiss on your nose. As he closes the door, he opens the passenger door for you to get into
âOh? I thought it was my fault for letting the mean, lady pierce her ears,â you pouted at him as he crossed your arms, reiterating his own words back to him
â maybe it wasnât completely your fault you were right she did calm down after a while. And I guessâŠ. Youâre right she wonât remember it later on in life.â
You take a hold of his jaw gently and shake his head slightly âAWWHH look at my man admitting that heâs wrong,â
âWrong? No, I did not say I was wrong. I still think that piercer was a bitch for making her cry,â
âNoah thatâs her job, Eden was going to cry either way!â You giggle as you climb into the car
âYeah yeah, I wonât leave a bad reviewâ he chuckled closing the door
âNoah donât you dare!â your muffled voice, comes from inside the car as he rounds the front and gets into the driver seat. He completely ignores what you say turns to Eden and put his hand into her car seat and tickles her little belly
âNow who wants ice cream?!â Wanting to reward her for being such a brave girl
â oh yeah, thatâs right just change the subject,â crossing your arms
â keep that attitude up and Iâll make sure to use my ice cream for something elseâ he smirks at you as he turns on the car and scans your body from top to bottom
ââŠ..fine I want my usual order and you better know it or you wonât be using your ice cream for anythingâ she knew what you were talking about you hear Eden giggle in the back of the car

Over the phone
Anton Ivanov x reader
Notes: you and Anton have sex over the phone. Reader has a dick, but is kept gender neutral. not proofread or edited. this is like. porn so minors stay out!
Dhkshs why are there like. almost no anton fics. why is he on my mind so MUCH ARGH
-CLUNK-
"Good job, Hans! Keep going. Put your robotic arms to good use, bro!", Anton yelled. They had just managed to put the machines back together after the incident with the Prototype and already put them back on the grind. The metro system won't renovate itself after all.
Hans yelled back "You got it bro! Just putting in the work, haha!"
"Be careful not to overdo it! Hans only just got repaired... It would be a shame if I had to take him apart again~"
At Grace's words a shudder ran across the machine. Anton sympathized with him. The thought of being taken apart didn't sit well with him either. But as long as it kept the machines on the right track, he let Grace say whatever she wanted. Not that he could've stopped her anyways.
The vibration of his phone interrupted his tboughts. Sneaking a glance at his display, he was delighted to find out you were calling him- although you usually didn't call while he was at work. Worried something might have happened, he called out to Grace.
"I'll be right back, Gracie! Just got a call to take. Hans, you know what to do bro!"
"Got it, bro!"
Winking at him, Grace replied.
"Don't take too long flirting with your sweetheart~"
Waving her off and ignoring the way her words flustered him, he strutted to his makeshift office where the construction and machinery noises were significantly quieter. Thankful you waited on the line, he picked up your call.
"Hey babe, what's up?"
Only heavy breathing responded. Were you hurt? Running away from someone?
"Darling? Can you talk?"
A moan responded him. For a second he misconstrued it as a moan of pain, but then you finally began to speak.
"Antonnnn..... I miss you so, ngh, so much..... Wish you were here right now..... Mmmnnngh.... "
It was then that he also recognized the distinct wet noises in the background. He swallowed hard.
"Babe... can you tell me what you're doing right now?"
"Hmm.... I'm jerking off right now... Imagining it's your hand that's squeezing my dick right now... Rubbing your thumb into my slit.... Ah, I'm oozing so much...."
Anton felt his blood rushing to his cock. Any plans he had to hang up after you told him why you called him went out the window at your response. Instead he checked he had the door closed properly and leaned against it, ensuring it wouldn't open without him noticing. Then, he carefully reached down to palm his own crotch.
"Couldn't you wait for me to come home? You know I can't really take calls at work..."
You let out a chuckle.
"You've been coming home so late Anton... I just couldn't wait anymore... Mmph... Plus from what I'm hearing on my end, you're not faring much better than me..."
It was true. While you were talking, Anton had snuck his hand into his boxers and was gently stroking his cock in his underwear. His breathing had picked up and he was occasionally letting out small grunts.
"Fine, I admit defeat... But how could I possibly resist when you just sound so hot..."
"Hehehe... You know Anton... I've been craving to touch you again... Those tits of yours must be calling for me~ I've been wanting to suck on them and knead them so much these past few weeks... You always moan so deliciously... Ahhh..."
"Oh babe..."
"I just wish you were here now... I'd suck marks into your skin so everyone would know I fuck you the best... I'd press your dick against mine and cover both of them with lube... Wrap our hands around them and thrust into your dick and our hands... See which of us cums first... All the while I'd latch onto your nipple and suck so hard it'll be sore like your muscles are after a hard day of work~"
Anton groaned at your words. The scenes you were describing were vivid in his head. He picked up the speed of his strokes.
"Hahh... Tell me more please..."
"Since you asked so nicely~ I'll lick all over your entire body, cleaning any remaining sweat off of you... Then I'll slide down to kiss your cock... I'll first use my hands to jerk you off, paying special attentions to your glans... I'll tighten my grip especially there... Then I'll lean down to take the head of your dick in my mouth and I'll swirl my tongue around it before sucking on it lightly... When I've gotten used to feeling the weight of your cock in my mouth, I'll sink down to take you whole~"
At those words, Anton's face twisted in elation, hips bucking forward and moaning wildly. He kept gently stroking himself at your instructions, to properly ride out his high. This kept him twitching and groaning, overstimulating him slightly. His dick spurted out globs of cum, unfortunately staining his underwear. He was lucky his pants were white, so any stains that would print through weren't too visible.
He stood there for a moment in silence, breathing heavily. A few drops of sweat rolled down his face. Looking at the call time, it had only been a few minutes, yet it was already time to return to work. Luckily, he would manage to go the toilet to clean up at least some of the mess he made. Pulling his hand out of his pants he observed the cum that had stuck on his hand. He really had missed you as well...
"I'll be home early tonight babe. Get yourself ready, bro!"
"Don't worry, I already am! You just keep your promise~"
"Of course babe. See you tonight!"
"See you!"
Hanging up, you chuckled and turned on your back. This had been your goal from the moment you called him, though you weren't quite sure how to make him horny enough to want to come home quickly. But since he missed you as well, it had all worked out splendidly. You couldn't wait for his shift to end~

FOR THE BETTER | chapter 3
â° warnings: none!
â° natâs note: i know this lowkey sucks, but IN MY DEFENSE, i was sick. anyways the rest of this story will be continued through insta auâs so keep an eye out for those!!!!!
The morning after the gala, you woke up to a few notifications from Instagram. One in particular stood out to you, it being a message request from Dawson Mercer. Quickly accepting the request to see what he had said, you noticed almost immediately that his text was in regards to none other than Nico.Â
âHey Y/n. Itâs Dawson, we met last night at the gala. I was told to ask because a certain someone noticed how well we clicked, but Nico wanted to know if he could have your number?â
Of course. Of-fucking-course. Of course the man who had taken up your entire headspace within only minutes of meeting him was asking for your number.Â
âHey! Yeah sure, go ahead!â Your reply was just a tad bit panicked, knowing your answer but not entirely sure how to come across as calm and collected. You hit send and set your phone back down, grabbing one of your pillows and covering your face in it.Â
Moments passed as you screamed into your pillow when you suddenly heard a âding!â come from your phone. Your anxiety peaked at the exact moment the device pinged. You were scared to turn it over.Â
âGet a grip, Y/nâ You mentally told yourself before you reached your shaking arm over to grab your phone.Â
âHey Y/n. Itâs Nico. Wanted to see if you wanted to maybe hang out today. We didnât get to talk much last night and I wanted to get to know youâÂ
Now this time you had a real reason to scream into your pillow. You let out the most blood-curling scream ever, causing both Jack & Luke to rush into your room.Â
âWhatâs going on?â Your brothers let out, trying to catch their breaths from running across the apartment.Â
âOh nothing. I just got asked on a date, no big dealâ You shrugged
âYou WHAT?!â Jack let out, immediately losing any last ounce of sleep he had left in him.Â
âCongrats Y/n/n! Iâm proudâ Luke smiled as he gave you a hug.
âLuke, you arenât going to ask who it is??? Youâre just going to let her be free like that????â Jack was completely astounded by Lukeâs lack of care to the situation at hand.
 âWell no, sheâs grown and I think she can make smart decisions for herself and pick a decent guyâ Luke shrugged.Â
âOkay well, youâre not nearly as nosey as I am. Give me a name, Y/n. Pleaseeeeeeeee!â Jack pleaded with you, desperate to know the details of your newly updated love life. You battled with the decision of whether or not to tell them the truth, that it was their captain. Eventually, the internal battle ended and you just told them straight up.Â
âEhm⊠donât be mad but itâs NicoâŠâ You looked down, afraid to see their reactions. It was silent for a few moments, you just knew they were gesturing to each other about your choice. After about a minute, you lifted your head and cracked your eye open, afraid to make eye contact with either of them. You unfortunately made eye contact with Jack, and he was just staring at you with his mouth agape.Â
âDidnât see that one coming, but I think you guys would be cute togetherâ Luke softly spoke, being as gentle as possible before Jack could say how he felt.Â
âIâm not completely opposed, but if he so much as hurts you, I will literally end him. Iâm just afraid of you getting with someone again, especially after how the last one endedâŠâ Jack trailed off, his emotions truly showing.Â
âWell, Iâm not going to rush into anything. I barely know the guy, we spoke like - max 5 words or something last night. Iâm not desperate. And the last one ended because he was a cheating asshole. I'll be fine, Jack, I promise. If anything happens, you guys will be the first to know" You reassured him, knowing how your last relationship with one of his best friends deeply affected him.

and now for our Checking In With The Dallon Sisters poasting
Panacea shook her head, âTattletale found a way around my sisterâs invincibility. Glory Girl was bitten pretty badly, which is why I didnât come sooner. I think it hits you harder, psychologically, when youâre pretty much invincible but you get hurt anyways. But weâre okay now. Sheâs healed but sulking. I- Iâm alright. Bump on my head, but Iâm okay.â
victoria is demonstrably having a bad time with the previously noted psychological pain of being forcibly reminded that, no matter how hard she tries, she will never be the spotless, invincible, perfect hero she wants to be. the bug bites suck obviously but the "sulking" After being healed is an indicator of where it really hurt--not just physically.
(amy's power reminds me of. do you guys know that one tumblr post about the concept of exploring the horror potential inherent to D&D-esque fantasy healers? like, the horror inherent to being perfectly, magically healed from horrifying injury a hundred times over, and being expected to just get up and keep fighting afterwards, without any regards to how your mental health is doing. that's exactly how amy's power functions: you're made physically better than ever, and expected to get back up and keep being a hero, but you still have the memory of the pain and the lingering psychological aftereffects. but, like, you're fine now, so you just need to get over it and go back to throwing yourself in the line of fire, okay?)
amy is also right off the bat clearly not doing so hot--she's acting very shy and withdrawn and unsure compared to both of her prior appearances. obviously that is due to the horror of some random villain going "btw, remember that you're ontologically an invader into the family you are trying to belong in!" but i think it's probably compounded by the fact that amy is so used to being treated either 1. like she's intrinsically awful/unwanted or 2. like she's only valuable/desirable as a resource by Everyone But Victoria that walking into a room of heroes w/o victoria by her side is always liable to make her insecure and withdrawn.
oh, and the burnout. obviously the severe fucking burnout.
âNo, I hated that he would have a normal life, because Iâd given up mine. I was scared that I might intentionally make a mistake. That I might let myself fuck up the procedure with this kid. I could have killed him or ruined his life, but it would have eased the pressure. Lowered expectations, you know? Maybe it would have even lowered my own expectations for myself. I⊠I was just so tired. So exhausted.  I actually considered, for the briefest moment, abandoning a child to suffer or die.â âThat sounds like more than just exhaustion,â Gallant replied, quietly. âIs this how it starts? Is this the point I start becoming like my father, whoever he was?â
the "every second i rest, someone dies" conundrum would be nightmarish for her even if she had the healthiest social support net on the planet, but her circumstances make it infinitely worse. she's treated by everyone in her "family" but victoria like an invader, and even victoria has unintentionally stressed the importance of using her healing power in the way that the family wants (i.e. to cover up victoria's police brutality) in order to Be A Good Family Member. amy has internalized that being a good dallon is the same as being a good hero, and failing at being a dallon is the same as being overcome by her ontologically criminal roots. so she works herself to the bone, and when she inevitably starts to falter, she views it as an indicator of something intrinsically wrong with her rather than as a sign that her family + society's expectations for her are harmful and unfair.
and dean's advice for her only reinforces this further:
Gallant let out a slow breath, âI could say no, that youâre never going to be like your father. But Iâd be lying. Any of us, all of us, we run the risk of finding our own way down that path. I can see the strain youâre experiencing, the stress. Iâve seen people snap because of less. So yeah. Itâs possible.â
he suggests that she try to take a break, but only in the service of "so you can heal more people in the long run." he validates the idea that she could go "down that path," as if becoming a villain--becoming A Bad Person--is a risk all heroes have to fight against on an individual level, as opposed to criminality being a result of circumstance and not even inherently immoral. and of course dean thinks that way--he's a millionaire child soldier, his entire life is predicated on individualist thought with ignorance to the ways in which systematic factors impact people. acknowledging that amy is being horrifically mistreated would mean not only acknowledging the flaws in the PRT system, but acknowledging what might lead people to stray from it, and he simply can't do that. it goes counter to every idea that his life is built on.
he never even tells anyone that amy thought about letting a child die, or if he did, it didn't go anywhere. she was desperate for help all along, increasingly ready to explode, and everyone just ignored it. because as she says:
"My sisterâs all Iâve got. The only person with no expectations, who knows me as a person. Carol never really wanted me. Mark is clinically depressed, so as nice as he is, heâs too focused on himself to really be a dad. My aunt and uncle are sweet, but theyâve got their own problems. So itâs just me and Victoria. Has been almost from the beginning."
this is also where we see another more blatant sign of her crush on victoria--it's very ambiguous as to whether dean is interpreting amy's feelings towards him as meaning "wants to date me" or "jealous of me for dating victoria" but i think it's probably the former because there's no way he would keep his mouth shut if it was the latter, lmao. really what this scene is doing is introducing all of the stressors amy is experiencing that, because they're going unaddressed, because everyone else is refusing to address them and she has internalized that's how it should be, are going to boil over horrifically later on. that burnout and fear of accidentally-on-purpose making a mistake will lead to truly being unable to heal victoria later on. that sense of obligation, that if she can't keep healing she's turning into her father, will contribute to her being unable to just walk away from victoria instead of trying to heal her. her crush on victoria--the ultimate example of how her should-be family has ostracized her--will boil over in the impulsive brain alteration & the sexual nature of the wretch's design.
and all of this would've been avoidable if not for, as mentioned in the prior post abt this interlude, the dallons' and the PRT's enforcement of wallpapering over the kid heroes' pain to Keep Up The Show.

A small sample of the DC x DP fic I'm working on. It's a Damian/Danny (Dead Serious) fic
Danny wonders why these things always happen to him. This was just supposed to be an end-of-year trip to Gotham. One week he didn't have to fight ghouls or deal with Vlad's fruitloopiness. The universe hated him. At least that's the only conclusion that makes sense.
It started at one of Gotham's museums. Everything was great. They were looking at old stuff and he was joking around with Tucker and Sam. Then his ghost sense went off because of course.
It wasn't a surprise to see a few ghosts come in and start wreaking havoc. How did they know where to find him? He quickly got his answer when he saw Vlad. Vlad grabbed a random kid and fled. Sam and Tucker reassured him they got the other ghost to go after Vlad.
Damian was ready to body slam this vampire-looking man. Who the hell was he and where did he come from? The man turned them both intangible, going through several walls before ending up in a mostly empty room. The man tied up his wrist and ankles but left him otherwise unrestrained. Damian was able to press the call button on his watch.
"Hey vampire, you're a long ways away from Transylvania." Damian snarked.
"I'm not a vampire you insolent brat."
Damian rolled his eyes, "Then maybe you shouldn't dress like one."
Vlad went to retort but was tackled by Danny flying through the wall. Damian would have been surprised if weird shit didn't happen to him on the daily but still he had to put on a performance.
Damian looked at the fighting pair deadpan, "oh wow gee looks like I'm in quite a jam."
By the time Vlad was sucked into the phantom thermos Damian had already freed himself. Danny looked at the kid bewildered.
"You know staring is rude."
Danny scoffed, "I wasn't staring. Who the hell are you? What did Vlad want with you?"
"I have no clue. You came in before his villainous monologue," Damian paused before snickering, "is his name really Vlad? Like Vlad the Impaler, the original Dracula."
Danny can't believe he hadn't made that connection himself. He couldn't help but laugh. Damian raised a brow.
When Danny calmed he looked at the kid, "So kid are you hurt?"
"I would think that's the first thing you would have checked for. I could have bled to death while you went hysterical."
"Since when did twelve-year-olds get so snarky."
"I'm not twelve! I'm sixteen!"
"But you're so small."
"You are only a few inches taller than me. I'm also still tall enough to kick your ass. Who are you anyway? Batman doesn't like metas in his city."
"A what now?"
"A meta," a big man stepped out from the darkness, "You okay Damian?"
"Yeah, hood. Is it just you?"
"For now, yes," Red Hood looked at Danny, "who are you kid and why are you in Gotham."
"I'm Phantom and I'm supposed to be on a school trip but one of my arch nemesis found me but I stopped him so I should get going."
"I should go back to Hood. I'm fine and I'm sure the ghost boy would be willing to bring me back."
"Uh yeah sure let's go." Danny flew off.
Red Hood lowered himself and whispered, "keep an eye on him. If you have a tracker, use it."
"I'm not an idiot. I was already planning on it."
Danny flew back into the room, "you coming?"
"Are you gonna walk 'cause I certainly can't fly or phase through walls."
"Oh yeah. Let me just, " Danny scooped Damian up in a bridal style, "there we go. You ready now?"
Red Hood snickered as Damian turned red, squawking at the poor kid holding him.
"Put me down! Don't manhandle me!"
"Sorry but this is the quickest way."
Danny rushed off. Damian scowled like an angry cat. Danny chuckled, causing the other to start another rant full of foul language. Finally, Danny landed. Sam and Tucker were there waiting.
Sam gave him a confused expression, "Why are you carrying the youngest Wayne."
"Who?"
"Me dumbass! Put me down!" Damian squirmed.
Danny set him down. Damian adjusted his expensive uniform muttering. Sam grabbed Danny by the ear and pulled him aside.
She whispered," What are you doing carrying the Wayne kid."
"Vlad had him. Plus I still don't know who Wayne is."
"Wayne as in Bruce Wayne, " Sam pinched the bridge of her nose as Danny stared at her blankly, "Wayne as in Wayne Tech Industries."
"Oh⊠ohhhh. So maybe Vlad had him for some rich guy reason."
"We should keep an eye on him. He is just some pampered rich kid."
Danny nodded and went back over. He was surprised to see the kid was still there. He shuffled uncomfortably, unsure what to do from here. What he didn't see coming was the quick peck to his cheek followed by a growled thank you. Moments later the kid was gone.
Tucker grinned, "look at you, Danny. You just get all the rich babes don't you?"
"It was just a hero kiss," Sam waved her hand in front of Danny's face, "you still there."
"Yeah yeah just wasn't expecting that."
"Go change and catch up with the class."
"Good idea."
That night Danny patrolled the city. Gotham was a whole different beast at night. It was still busy, the lights were bright and the people were completely unfazed. He decided to take a break in the park. Not even five minutes he was being dragged by a vine. Now he was upside down face to face with a pretty green skin lady.
"Whatcha got there?" The blonde lady next to her asked.
"I think this is the mystery meta that Red Hood was talking about."
"He's a cutie ain't he? What do you think we should do with him?"
"Interrogate. Why are you flying around our city?"
Danny gulped, "just making sure none of the ghosts from the attack earlier weren't causing more chaos."
"Responsible young man aren't ya."
"Look I don't want no trouble I have enough of that â"
"Ivy put him down," A boy came down from the tree tops dressed in a costume, "he hasn't done anything wrong yet."
Ivy hesitated but she dropped him. Danny landed with an oof.
"You spooky kid come here."
Danny hesitated but went over. The kid narrowed his eyes and clicked his tongue.
"Of course it's you. I heard about you," Damian walked over to Ivy, "I will deal with this," he gestures to Danny before putting his hands on his hips, "Isn't tonight date night?"
Harley smiles, "it sure is. Let's go Ives I think we can still make our dinner reservations."
Ivy grabbed Harley's hand, " be careful kiddo." She and Harley left the two vigilantes.
Damian went back over to Danny who just looked confused. So much happened in the past few minutes and he wasn't able to process it.
"You kid, what the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Uh patrolling."
"Gotham already has its team of heroes. We don't need you stirring the pot."
"I'm trying to help. I don't think Gotham's heroes know how to deal with ghosts."
"You don't know anything about Gotham."
"You know you're right. How do I know you're not a villain?"
"Because you would be in big trouble already. You're lucky those two are reformed."
"I guess you're part of Batman's crew although you're pretty short. I'm surprised the big bad Batman lets you out past curfew." Danny smirked.
Damian growled, "you better watch it, ghost boy."
"Oo did I strike a nerve."
Damian scowled and swung. Danny faked a yawn and went intangible. Damian ended up stumbling. He was quickly getting irritated. Damian tries to land a few more hits.
Danny laughed and pinched Damian's cheek, "so cute."
"I'm not cute. I'm gonna figure out what exactly you are and then I'm gonna kick your ass."
Before he could get another word in his ghost sense went off. It was the box ghost being annoying as fuck. Danny rolled his eyes before swiftly kicking his ass. Damian watched amused. Once the box ghost was away Danny was again at Damian's side.
"I didn't recognize that villain but you did adequately I guess."
"That's 'cause he is one of mine. He's a ghost."
"So you're both ghosts. Did you," Damian paused, "did you die?"
"Yeah, kinda I guess. I never thought about it that way."
"That is never easy."
"You say that like you have experienced dying."
Damian stayed quiet. Danny looked at him and was shocked. This boy had experienced death; his silence was answer enough. A million questions ran through his head but he shook his thoughts away and just hugged Damian.
"I don't know how that is possible but I'm not gonna question it."
Damian tense. It was weird the ghost boy felt so cold but it was comforting. Danny pulled away leaving a confused and blushing Damian. Damian was still standing there when Nightwing arrived.

Oh dear God I'm so sorry to hear that
I feel like I am the same as you, it's happened to me in two relationships so I'm sending you strength. And feel free to rant it's your fucking blog period!
iâm so sorry this has happened to you honestly it sucks. ok guys iâm gonna use this as my little rant so if you donât wanna read this you can just ignore it!!
basically she texted me this morning and was like call me we need to talk and told me she had a whole other girlfriend. i was super upset and i was like so youâve just been cheating on me like itâs nothing?? like what the heck?? and sheâs like âoh well weâve been having problems i didnât know if we were still togetherâ knowing damn well last night she told me she loved me and not to worry because we were going to work everything out bc we were both overthinking but we talked about it and we were fine. we were going to work things out and just be okay. but then iâm thinking now who is this girl?? and how long has she been around because no matter what timeline there is there had to have been cheating because we never broke up?? and i would love to say that i was simply just pissed and blocked her but iâm not that strong i guess because despite her doing that and all the shit she did in our relationship i cried and i begged her to say it was a joke i begged her to not do this and i feel so dumb. i donât get why i let this happen to myself like i shouldâve seen all the signs when she did other stuff that wasnât healthy. im not saying im a perfect person and ive definitely messed up a lot too but idk this just hurts a lot and i just feel so pathetic for not leaving when i shouldâve.
thankfully i got some sense and she was like âill call you in 20. i wanna collect my emotions and give you closureâ and i just blocked her bc i was like bitch the closure was you getting with another bitch that CLOSED our relationship! anyways do i make a hot tiktok thirst trap now or whatâčïž sorry u had to listen to all this but i waited for her like a dog. i believed all the times she would change that she would. i let myself believe i was part of the problem and that i did this to us. LIKE??? KENZIE BRO WAKE UP THIS IS EMBARRASSING!! ahh thank u if u read this i love you
sorry i sound like so mentally unstable and this probably doesnât even make any sense but this is just like wow like gosh i donât even know what to say or what to feel i just feel like what the heck yk???

What's the point of you?
Lucius is use to forward questions, he really is. It's hell after all but there is one question that tends to bother him more then others. ------ Alastor: Well if it isn't our favorite little Prince, finally finished cleaning up your mess? Lucius: One, I am taller then you and two.. Piss off. Alastor: My oh my someone's in a wonderful mood today. What's the matter, did your little beau dump you, maybe find out about her little bastard. Lucius: Go do something productive with your time instead of bugging me Coatrack. Alastor: Actually I have a question, that's why I came to you. Lucius: I'm tempted to tell you to trot off elsewhere. Alastor: I suppose I could just go bother Charlie with my question if you're too grumpy, I'm sure she'd still be willing to make time for her favorite manager, even with her condition bein- Lucius: *growls* Okay, what the fuck do you want?! Alastor: Tsk tsk, so hostile. If you're going to be so moody maybe I should go ask Charlie- Lucius: Just ask your question Alastor. Alastor: What's your purpose? Lucius: ..Excuse me? Alastor: Your purpose, what's the point of you. I mean most don't openly choose to have twins right, and if Charlie married another royal, what would become of you. It kinda makes some sense that she has another woman partner, so I assumed that hey, at least the prince will be useful should she ever need an heir. Seeing as magic was an option all along, I'm now wondering.. What is your purpose. Why do you exist. Lucius: Twins aren't usually planned for one, but why don't you figure it out yourself, not that it's your business anyway. Alastor: It's okay that you don't know, not everyone can know everything. Just makes you kinda useless really. I mean why did they even pick Charlie to take over. Why not you, it just feels like you we're more of donor. If not to create a future heir then maybe some kinda limb or organ donor. Seriously what is the point of you. Lucius: Are you trying to anger me. Alastor: Depends, is it working? Lucius: Fuck off. Alastor: Aww, did I hurt your feelings or do you genuinely not know. Lucius: It's not your business there's your answer. Alastor: So you don't know.. How long has that question plagued your thoughts. Hmm, makes me wonder if you have a place at all- Lucus: You ever think I might be an advisor, a guard or anything along those lines. Alastor: ..No. Cause Vaggie is practically Charlie's little guard on top of helping this place and well let's be fair. Charlie doesn't follow anyone's advice but her own.. And maybe Vaggie's if the idea falls into her own. So no, it doesn't sound like you have much of a purpose in that regard either. Lucius: Fine whatever, think what you want. Alastor: So you don't know either, how interesting. Lucius: I just want you to leave me alone. Is that a lot to ask of the oh so mighty powerful radio demon. To just leave me be. Fuck off somewhere. Alastor: Fine. Seems like you don't know anything more then I do. Must really suck to know you don't stand anywh- Lucius: *Growls* I SAID FUCK OFF! Alastor: Very well.. Lucius: ..Annoying fucking coatrack. I need to go somewhere, blow off steam. ------ Charlie: *Sighs* Vaggie: What's wrong babe? Charlie: Lucius is going to Bee's. Vaggie: Gluttony District, why? Charlie: Didn't say but he only goes there when he's not in a good headspace. Vaggie: I'm sure he'll be fine. Don't over think it, he's probably just stressed with this whole baby thing and still trying to figure out how to talk to Clara. He'll perk up eventually. Charlie: I hope so..

Yooooooooouuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!! You SUCK!
3. Sometimes, I really hate myself.
Part 1 - the arcade
Part 2 - the rooftop
Part 3 - the canon
Warnings: none.
----------------------------------------------------------
     She paced up and down outside the corridor leading to the control room.Â
     âYou got this! You can do this! It's just two friends, hanging out, together. That's all it is! You've already done it before. And, anyway, what's the worst that could happen? He could say no. And then your heart would just shatter into a million tiny little pieces. And you'd cry about it, sure, but then you'd get over it! Because we don't cry over boys.â She sighed and crouched down in front of the wall, covering her face in her hands. âWe only cry over men.âÂ
     Ben walked over to her, concerned by the way heâd seen her walking up and down and rambling about something. Then sheâd sat down entirely, her head in her hands like she was about to cry over it. âUh, X? Everything all right?âÂ
     X looked up quickly, startled by the sudden interruption. Then she hopped to her feet, brushing herself off and trying to act like nothing had happened. âOh! Yeah! Everythingâs fine! Everythingâs ⊠perfect.â Ben raised an eyebrow, unconvinced.Â
     âYou wanna talk about it?â he asked her gently. She scrunched her brows together, a miserable expression overtaking her features as she tried to figure out what to say.Â
     âI just âŠâ she trailed off, pulling her hair over her face and groaning. âArgh! I hate him so much!âÂ
     âWho?â Ben asked, confused. X glanced down the hallway sheâd been standing beside and he followed her gaze. His eyes widened in understanding and he lowered his voice. âMiguel?âÂ
     X waved her hands at him quickly, gesturing for him to stop talking. âDonât say his name! What if he hears?!âÂ
     âHears what?â Ben questioned, his eyebrows furrowing. âWhy do you hate him? I thought you guys liked each other?âÂ
     âI donât know!â she whined. âDoes he even like me?â
She stomped her foot on the ground, frustrated. âUgh! Heâs so mean!â
How cruel he was, for taking care of her so gently, for looking after her and making sure she was okay, making sure she felt safe. And then driving her to the edge of her sanity trying to figure out if she could let herself take it to mean something more than just friendship.Â
     âWhat happened?â Ben asked, concerned now. âDid he do something to hurt you?âÂ
     âNo!â X replied quickly, shaking her head emphatically. âNo, no, no, no, no! He would never hurt me!â She frowned and smacked Ben on the arm.Â
     âIdiot,â she muttered. Ben rubbed his arm, offended.Â
     âHey!â he argued. âIâm just trying to help!â X bit her lip, feeling bad now.
     âSorry,â she apologised. Then finally, she sighed, unable to hold it in any longer. âUgh! I want to ask him to hang out at the arcade, okay? I just ⊠He said he liked video games, so I thought maybe heâd have fun. Thatâs all.â She lowered her head, fixing her gaze on the ground and shifting uncomfortably as she waited for his opinion. It was always funny, the reminders of how young Miguel really was. He was always so serious and world-weary and it was hard to remember that he was still only in his twenties. Ben pressed his lips together, trying not to snicker at the idea of Miguel - the Miguel OâHara - playing video games.Â
     âWell, why donât you just ask him?â Ben suggested nonchalantly.Â
     âBecause!â X insisted. Then she looked away, her heart in her throat, her voice soft. âWhat if he says no? And then gives some stupid excuse about how itâs going to affect the balance of the multiverse or something?
     âI just want to hang out with him,â she admitted, curling into herself with fear. âI like hanging out with him.â It was so simple on her end - even when she was so obviously in love with him, she was happy to settle for just spending some alone time with him. Ben clenched his fists, his heart aching at the nervous expression on her face. Heâd have to beat Miguel up if he said no, heâd have absolutely no choice but to do it. But maybe heâd get a few of the Peterâs to back him up first.Â
     âWell, what if he says yes?â Ben pointed out optimistically. âWhat will you do then?âÂ
     X didnât respond, unconvinced by the idea. So Ben shot her a reassuring smile and continued. âHave a great time âhanging outâ at the arcade with your âjust friendâ?âÂ
     He nudged her teasingly and she finally rolled her eyes, her lips curling up at the ends. Ben grinned, pleased at having returned the smile to her face - none of them liked it when she was upset, when she wasnât walking around with that ever-persistent smile on her face. Miguel, most of all, hated it.Â
     âGo! Ask him!â Ben instructed her, giving her a little in the direction of the control room. âIâll wait outside if you want! I can be, like, your spiritual cheerleader or something.âÂ
     X shot him a grateful look before she turned to walk down the hallway. âThanks, Ben.âÂ
     They were standing outside the door - he could hear their muttered whispers of âyou got thisâ and âjust get it over withâ and âyouâll never know if you donât ask himâ. It was distracting him from the map of space-time rips heâd pulled up to study - again. He lost his place once more as the sweet and fruity scent of Xâs perfume wafted into the room, she herself following soon after. His eyes flickered over to the clock on the screen as she landed behind him: six-thirty - half an hour later than sheâd normally come to see him on a work day. He took care to remain frozen in position as she approached, not wanting her to know that heâd literally been counting down the minutes until he saw her again.Â
     She walked up to him cautiously, building up her courage to ask him the question. She stopped a few paces behind him, shifting awkwardly in position, nervous. He turned his head back to look at her, raising an eyebrow when she still didnât say anything.Â
     âÂżArañita? ÂżQuĂ© paso? You look ⊠nervous.â He frowned, too concerned to play it cool now. âIs something bothering you?âÂ
     X gulped, her heart fluttering at the worried expression on his face. She pulled her gaze away from his quickly.Â
     âN-no! I just âŠâ she paused, glancing back up at him from beneath her eyelashes. Then she lowered her head again, taking in a deep breath before closing her eyes and wincing as she let the words out all in one breath. âDo you want to go to the arcade with me?! Itâs okay if you say no!âÂ
     He froze, caught off guard by her question. That was what sheâd been so nervous about? Asking him to go to the arcade? With her?Â
     She opened her eyes slowly when he still hadnât replied, afraid to see his reaction. He looked ⊠stunned. Taken aback. She curled into herself and took a step away from him, lowering her head so that her hair hid her face.Â
     âUm, itâs fine,â she lied, her chest tightening with apprehension. âIâll just go by myself, itâs okay.âÂ
     She took another step away from him and he reached for her instinctively, wanting to stop her from putting even more distance between them. But then he paused, curling his fingers into a fist and lowering his hand back to his side. Sheâd just go by herself? To the arcade? Alone? The thought made him sick to the stomach. âYou donât ⊠have anyone else to go with?âÂ
     She shuffled her feet nervously, her eyes still fixed on the ground. Then she mumbled, âI donât want to go with anyone else, Miguel.â
     She snuck a glance at him, but quickly pulled her gaze away when she saw him already looking at her. âI just thought ⊠maybe youâd have fun there. With the ⊠With the games and stuff.âÂ
     She shrugged and glanced up at him again briefly, giving him a meaningful look. Because heâd told her he liked video games. Because theyâd brought him joy, once. Because she liked seeing him happy. She waved him away, trying to act casual.Â
     âItâs fine, itâs fine. Iâm just âŠâ She pointed at the door, wanting to make her escape so she could go cry about it to Ben. âIâm just gonna go train now, or something. Iâll see you âŠâ She cleared her throat, trying to get rid of the knot there as she thought about it. Tomorrow? She didnât think she could show up again and pine over him silently while he just ⊠while he clearly didnât feel the same way about her.Â
     âAround,â she finished noncommittally. âIâll see you around, Miguel. Bye!â She turned to leave, but he shot a web at her back, stopping her in her tracks.Â
     âWait!â She hadnât even given him a chance to answer. What if heâd said yes? Did he want to say yes? Did he want to hang out with her, outside of work? Outside of insomnia and trauma and whatever excuse theyâd always try to come up with? He studied the nervous expression on her face, her big, almond-shaped eyes, her soft, rosy lips. Of course he did. Of course he wanted to spend time with her. He made her feel safe, sure, but ⊠she made him feel safe too - slow and easy, like ⊠Like he was just any other twenty eight year old guy, trying to impress the girl he liked. The girl he was in love with. He released her and looked away, embarrassed. Then he rubbed the back of his neck, nervous himself now. âUm, yeah. Yes, Iâd ⊠Iâd like to go to the arcade. With you.âÂ
     She smiled at him, her expression softening, and he felt himself relax as well. Then he broke her gaze again, trying to keep his tone casual. âIf thatâs ⊠If thatâs what you want.âÂ
     She grinned and bounced up onto the balls of her feet in excitement. He wanted to hang out with her! He really wanted to hang out with her! She squealed with joy.Â
     âOkay!â she exclaimed happily, her delight bringing a smile to his own lips as well. âUm, is Friday night okay? We can go on Saturday if youâre busy, but Iâm just worried about how crowded it might be.â She pursed her lips in thought as she considered it.Â
     âUh, Friday is fine,â he agreed, lowering his head to hide his grin. She was so cute! Dios, if this was how she reacted to him agreeing to go the arcade with her, how would she react when he finally asked her out on an actual date one day? He shook his head quickly, clearing the thoughts away, and returned his attention to her, glancing up at her from beneath his dark eyelashes. âWhat time should I meet you?â
     She grinned at his expression, suddenly getting a little shy herself now that the excitement had worn off.Â
     âUm, well, I usually have dinner at around seven, so you can meet me at my house before, if you want to come with me.â She felt the nerves rising again after sheâd made the suggestion, not knowing if heâd want to get dinner with her - heâd only agreed to the arcade, after all, what if he thought dinner was too date-like? So she added quickly, âotherwise I can just meet you later!âÂ
     She wanted him to say yes, to get dinner with her - it was written so clearly all over her face. His stomach flipped at her eagerness to spend more time with him. âIâll get dinner with you, X. What do you want to eat?âÂ
     She hesitated, embarrassed by her limited tastes - sheâd always been a picky eater. It had gotten better as sheâd gotten older, but she always got overwhelmed too easily, so certain tastes and textures were a nightmare for her. âUm, I usually get fish and chips or Japanese. Oh! Thereâs pepper lunch?âÂ
     âPepper lunch?â he repeated, incredulous. She laughed.Â
     âWe can get it for dinner too, though!â she insisted. âI think you should try it! I want to know what you think.â He shrugged, open to anything.Â
     âLo que quieres, arañita.â (Whatever you want, little spider.) She smiled shyly, lowering her head and shuffling her feet. He felt his heart skip a beat at the sight.Â
     âOkay,â she agreed softly before peeking up at him again. âThanks, Miguel.âÂ
     He grinned and lowered his head to hide it, digging his fingers into his palms. He straightened his expression, then looked up at her again. âFor what?âÂ
     She took a moment to think about it, then shrugged. âI dunno. Just ⊠I just like hanging out with you. Thatâs all.âÂ
     He looked away, murmuring softly in response, but still loud enough for her to catch it. âYo tambiĂ©n, arañita.â (Me too, little spider.)
     âArañita. We donât have to do everything, you know,â Miguel told her, shifting uncomfortably in position. âYou donât have to spend so much money on me.â X rolled her eyes at his statement.Â
     âItâs not so much money, Miguel,â she assured him. Then she shrugged. âItâs not like I splurge so often. And anyway, we work to have a good life, right? So whatâs the point in working so hard if you never even get to enjoy it?â He stayed silent, considering her words as he followed her to the next machine.Â
     âBut ⊠donât you want to have kids one day?â he pointed out. âYouâd have to start saving up for them, right?â He shouldnât have asked her that; it wasnât his place, after all, to ask her what she wanted to do with her life - with her body. He opened his mouth to take back the question, but then she replied.Â
     âOf course I have my savings accounts, Miguel,â she reassured him. âAnd I still have time. I donât want to have kids before Iâm twenty-eight. Thatâs when my mum had me and I think itâd be a good time.â She paused, flicking her eyes to the side and pursing her lips in thought. Then she turned back to him.
     âHmm, and anyway, you can take care of their school and stuff if I canât, right? We can always split whatever we can.â She shrugged and continued walking, trying to stop her smile as she pretended to ignore the stunned look on his face. âOhh! Letâs go bowling!âÂ
     Miguel froze suddenly, unsure if heâd heard her right. Was she saying what he thought she was saying? âW-What?âÂ
     He glanced up at her, finding that sheâd already made her way to the computer by the bowling lanes. She waved at him, waiting impatiently. âMiguel! ÂĄVen aquĂ!â (Come here!)
     His mind raced with thoughts as he considered her words. He could take care of their school? Their school? Their ⊠kids? Their kids? Sheâd have to marry him, right? Have to, like she had absolutely no choice in the matter. He walked over to her, his heart fluttering in his chest as he thought about the two of them puzzling their way through pregnancies and diapers and temper tantrums and schools. How many would they have? How many did she want? How many did he want? Anything that made her happy, anything she wanted from him, heâd give it to her. Heâd give her every damn world in the entire multiverse if it made her happy. He stopped in front of her, his stomach roiling with nerves at the thought - at the reminder of how hopelessly in love with her he was. Because there was no hope for them - there never would be. Not when they were from two entirely different dimensions. âÂżQuĂ©?â
     âIâm just typing in our names.â She pressed âenterâ and the name âarañaâ popped up the screen. His lips twitched at the word, but then twisted into a frown when he saw âMiguelitoâ appear below it.
     âÂĄArañita!â he chastised her, all of his earlier worries having disappeared now that he was back by her side. She flashed him a naughty smile and his heart skipped a beat. The crease between his brows deepened. âYou ⊠Ven aquĂ. Ven aquĂ, arañita.â (Come here. Come here, little spider.)
     He marched over to her before she could run away from him, grabbing hold of her and wrapping her up in his arms. He bent over her, trapping her in his embrace, and began tickling her sides with his fingers, knowing how ticklish she was. She started laughing immediately, twisting around in his arms to try to free herself from his torturous grasp.Â
     âIâm small?â he asked her, leaning over to murmur in her ear. âIâm small, arañita? Look at you! Look at how tiny you are, arañita!â She really was tiny, so small and so soft in his arms, her curves fitting so perfectly against the hard lines of his body.Â
     âMiguel! Stop!â she begged him, gasping for breath in between bouts of panicked laughter. She wriggled against him, struggling to escape from his powerful grip. âStop it! Iâll kill you!â He finally stopped, wrapping his arms around her and bending over to rest his cheek on her shoulder.Â
     âHow are you going to kill me, arañita? Youâre so small,â he teased her, chuckling at the thought. She shivered at the feeling of his breath blowing against her neck, her eyelids fluttering shut as she breathed in the warm and woodsy smell of him. God, he felt good, his brawny chest pressing into her back as he held onto her. She swallowed hard, trying to regain control of her thoughts. Then she cleared her throat and took a step away from him, smoothing her hair down and rearranging her features into a neutral expression.Â
     âStrength isnât everything, you know ⊠Miguelito.â Her lips curled into a grin as he snarled at her, and she stepped around him to get a ball.
     âWhich size ball do you need?â She gave him a pout and reached up to tickle his chin before continuing. âDo you need a size six, mi Miguelito? Would anything else be too heavy for you?âÂ
     He huffed and turned his face away, out of her grip. But it thrilled him, their casual intimacy, their careless touches. And the way sheâd called him âmi Miguelitoâ? Like he was hers, and no one elseâs? âArañita.â
     She laughed, her head falling back to highlight the delicate column of her throat. âI'm just kidding, Miguel. Which one do you need? Eleven? Thirteen? Hmm, it's too bad they don't have a size twenty.âÂ
     He strode over to her and dug his fingers into her side, threatening her with another tickle attack. She jumped, startled, and let out a little yelp that had his heart racing in his chest. Then she turned to frown at him. âYou're so mean, Miguel!âÂ
     He smirked and bent over to bring his mouth closer to hers. âMake up your mind, arañita. Do you think I need a bigger ball? Or a smaller one?âÂ
     Holy shit! How could he say that?! Her eyes widened in surprise and her cheeks heated up in embarrassment as she tried to think about anything but his extremely private, extremely sensitive ⊠man parts. Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down. She closed her eyes so she wouldn't be tempted to let her gaze drop to, well, his balls. Then she took a step away from him.Â
     âUm, whichever you want, Miguel,â she waved him off, very obviously trying to avoid looking at him. He bit his lip, narrowly stopping a chuckle from falling out at the way her heart had started speeding up in her chest. Dios, she was cute. Unfairly so, he thought to himself, his eyes trailing over the curves of her hips and ass as she bent over to pick up whichever size bowling ball she wanted. He wanted to wrap her up in his arms and eat her up while he teased her, the blood rushing to her face as he whispered naughty things in her ear. She carried her ball over to the bowling lane, completely oblivious to the dirty thoughts running through his mind, and he dug his nails into his palms to stop himself from thinking them.Â
     She glanced over at the other lanes as he set his ball down beside hers, taking note of the many appreciative looks the other players kept flashing her ⊠her friend. Then she slid her gaze over to him, studying his brawny shoulders and his strapping chest and his powerful arms. She shuffled closer to him and curled her fingers around his arm, stretching onto her toes to murmur in his ear.Â
     âUm, don't break anything, okay, Miguel?â she asked him nervously. He paused, trying hard not to think about the way his heart stuttered in his chest at the feeling of her warm breath tickling his ear, her sweet scent dancing around him, her soft body pressing up against his as she tried to maintain her balance.
     âWhy would I break anything?" he asked, confused by the sudden request. She lowered herself back down, still clutching onto his forearm possessively.Â
     âI donât know. I mean, youâre, like, super strong. What if you accidentally snap a bowling pin in half or something?!â Her eyes lit up at the thought and she gasped. âOh my god! That would be insane!â Then she glanced up at him, lips still parted in shock.Â
     âDonât actually do that though!â she told him quickly. He snickered.Â
     âIâm not going to snap anything in half, arañita,â he reassured her, turning to face her so that everyone would think they were together and stop looking at him in a way he wanted only her to look at him. âÂĄEstĂĄs loca!â (You're crazy!)
     âItâs okay, Miguel.â She patted him on the arm soothingly. âIâll let you win if you want!â He raised an eyebrow, smirking down at her.Â
     âYouâll let me win?â he repeated incredulously. He took a step closer to her, towering over her with his powerful form. âWhat makes you think I wonât win anyway?â She grinned and took a step forward as well, tilting her head back to look up at him.Â
     âLetâs see about that, shall we?â She spun on her heel and strode over to her lane, bending forward to pick up her ball and sticking her ass out just so. She glanced up at him, biting on her lip as her messy curls fell to one side, framing her face perfectly. Then she stood up, taking her time making her way to the start of her lane, her hips swaying with each step she took. Finally, she swung her arm back, jogging the last few steps before releasing the ball at the pins. The screen flashed with a bright red âXâ and she turned around to smirk at him as she returned to the seating area, clasping her hands behind her back so that her chest puffed out towards him. She stopped right in front of him and fluttered her eyelashes up at him, putting on that one not-so-innocent look sheâd always give him whenever sheâd done something naughty. He sucked in a breath as she licked her lips, his heart skipping a beat at the sight. âYour turn, mi Miguelito.âÂ
     F*ck. He wasn't sure, but he thought he felt something leak out of him right then. He gritted his teeth as she moved past him to take a seat on the bench, clenching his fists to try to stop himself from turning around and following her every movement with his gaze. Then he took in a deep breath and sighed. It was going to be a long p*nche night.
     She let out a loud groan as the sound of all the pins clattering to the ground echoed around them again. Miguel turned to grin at her and she marched over to him, frowning up at him as she grabbed onto his forearm. âI told you not to use your super strength!âÂ
     âI'm not using my super strength, arañita,â he told her, delighting in the way she'd wrapped herself around his arm again. âJust my normal strength.âÂ
     He bent over, his eyes never leaving hers as he brought his face closer to hers. âOr did you forget what all these muscles were for?âÂ
     X gulped at his suggestive tone, her mind running wild with thoughts of all the things she would like for his muscles to do - to do to her, specifically. But then she set her brows again, giving him as hard a shove as she could manage, the movement barely shifting him. He chuckled as she stalked over to the lane to take her last few shots. Miraculously, she managed to get all three strikes in a row. But it still wouldn't be enough to beat him, she thought, looking up at the scoreboard. She folded her arms across her chest and returned to her seat, absolutely seething at her loss. Miguel went over to the lane and also scored three strikes in a row, enjoying the cute little twist of her lips far too much to let her win. His name flashed on the screen as he was declared the winner and he strolled back to X, grinning at the thunderous expression on her face. He reached out to tickle her chin and laughed when she pulled her face away.Â
     âWho knew you were such a sore loser, arañita?â he teased her. She hopped to her feet and clenched her fists, trying not to take the bait. Instead, she flipped her hair over her shoulder and rearranged her expression into one of disinterest.Â
     âI think we should go,â she suggested coolly. âIt's probably pretty late by now.â She grabbed his wrist and checked the time on his watch, shifting herself around so that her shoulder was brushing against his chest. He snickered and stealthily curled a finger around the belt loop of her jeans. She gasped as he gave it a tug, then turned to glare up at him. He narrowed his eyes at her in thought.Â
     âDo you think anyone at HQ would believe me if I told them how competitive you actually are?â She shoved him again, pushing at him with her hands, but just ended up sinking into his chest this time. He smiled and snuck his other finger into another of her belt loops, holding her in place as she stood there, hands on his chest. He raised an eyebrow at her and she felt her stomach run through an entire gymnastics routine at the sight. âDonât you want to get ice cream or something?âÂ
     She was so close to him that she could just stretch up onto her toes and kiss him if she wanted to. His lips just looked so juicy and inviting, she couldnât help herself from considering it. But what if he pushed her away? What if he told her that he didnât like her like that and then theyâd never even be able to be friends again? Not that being just friends with him forever was an option anyway - it made her sick to her stomach trying to picture him with someone other than her someday. She lowered her gaze and lifted her hands slightly so she wasnât touching him anymore.Â
     âUh, what about hot chocolate?â she suggested instead. âThereâs this fast food place that has the best hot chocolate in the whole world!âÂ
     Theyâd been having fun, heâd thought, teasing one another with playful touches and teasing remarks. But then her entire demeanour had changed, so suddenly that all the adrenaline left him as well. He let his hands fall back to his sides, confused. âUh, a fast food place? Serving hot chocolate?âÂ
     âNo! Seriously!â she insisted, her spirits seeming to have lifted slightly. She grabbed his arm and started leading him out of the arcade. âLetâs go try it!â And of course, just like he always did, he didnât say no, instead letting her drag him along to whatever she wanted to do that would make her happy.
     He took a sip of his drink and winced at how sweet it was. Then he set the cup back down. âWhy do I keep letting you do this to me?âÂ
     She grinned as she stirred her own drink. If she was being completely honest, she wasnât entirely sure herself why he always found it so difficult to say no to her. But it was something that even everyone at HQ had seemed to have picked up on, always going to her to ask Miguel for something they wanted. Sheâd never abuse her power though, of course sheâd never take advantage of him like that! Well, not for anyone else, anyway. She shrugged. âI dunno, Miguel. Why do you keep letting me do this to you?âÂ
     His heart stuttered at the mischievous smile she flashed him before lifting the cup to her lips. He knew exactly why he kept letting her do this to him: because she made him happy. Because she always worked so hard to try to put even the smallest of smiles on his face. Because he was in love with her, so how could he possibly ever say no to her?Â
     âMmm!â she moaned, licking the foam off her lips after placing her cup on the table. âÂĄDelicioso, Miguel!â His body tightened as he remembered the last time sheâd said it to him, a devious smile on her lips as sheâd sucked the gelato off her spoon. She gazed up at him, her smile sweeter this time, more innocent. Like it was enough for her, just to sit here with him, the two of them seeming like the only people in the world this late at night. He smiled softly and leaned across the table, reaching forward to wipe the foam off her nose and bringing it to his lips to suck it off his thumb. Her lips curled at the ends, delighted by the way he always took care of her so easily - so instinctively - and she lowered her head so that her hair fell over her face, hiding her shy smile from him. He reached out immediately, tucking her hair behind her ear - not because he wanted to see that pretty smile she always gave him when heâd done something to make her happy, but just because he didnât want her hair to get in her drink. That was what he told himself anyway, even as he felt his chest warm at the way she wriggled her legs beneath the table in excitement. Even then.
