Ace's Thoughts on Kanazawa Division
Tumblr media
Wataru Sasaki
"I've never met this guy but he reminds me of the Head of Security my dad employed back at the White House. Guy was so uptight and stern. Kinda made sense that he was a former Lieutenant in the army. This guy reminds me so much of him. Still, he has my respect for doing what he does. Police officers don't really have a good reputation, especially considering the fact that it's hard to tell which ones are good or not."
Kyler Aaron
As Ace looks at the photo of the FBI agent, his eyes grow wide with shock. He stays that way for approximately five seconds before groaning out loud. "Damn it. I should have known my dad would pull some crap like this. He mentioned that he was sending someone else here to 'assist' me with my job. I told him that wasn't necessary, but in case you didn't realize, my dad is like a mule: he's a stubborn ass!" Ace looks back at the photo of the FBI agent before groaning once more. "And he had to send the one person that I didn't want to deal with right now." He groans once more.
"Kyler grew up in the same neighborhood as me and Evelyn. Evelyn could tell you more about him; I didn't really speak to him until high school, and even then we rarely spoke outside of class. We were just into different things. He liked soccer, I liked football. He liked being with a large group of people, I was fine being with a close-knit group of friends. He liked expressing himself, I liked keeping my opinions to myself (for the most part, anyway). There was just a lot about us that was different. If not for Evelyn, I don't think we would have associated with each other under any circumstances.
"I was surprised when I heard Kyler went to university to study criminal justice. I was even more surprised when I heard he had joined the FBI. The last time I saw him he was assigned to a case that I thought would keep him occupied." Ace sighs.
"Guess that was too much to ask for. Now he's been sent here by my father. He claims that's he here to still work on that case he was assigned to, but I don't believe him. I know my father sent him here to keep an eye on me cause I pissed him off one too many times." Ace rolls his eyes. "I'll say this, I don't mind seeing a friendly face around here. But if he thinks I'm going to change my lifestyle just because he's around, he's got another thing coming."
Joey Karasu
"I've seen this guy in Eagle's Nest before. He seems like an alright guy, if a little... out there. But I have nothing against him. Hopefully, if he's working with Kyler, maybe he can get that guy more focused on his case and less time hanging around me."
Justice Shield
"Ugh, this team wouldn't be so bad if it didn't include Kyler. Like I said, I have nothing against the guy. It's just him being here means my father now is able to check up on me and I have no way not to avoid his calls anymore." Ace sighs. "But that's neither here nor there. As far as this team goes, I'll admit, it'll be a little odd seeing a team of law enforcement officers competing in a rap tournament. ...I wonder if their goal is actually to win, or if this is just some way to get them closer to solving their individual cases?"

- Reconciliation -
This chapter is also Ao3, If you'd rather read it there
"You again! Didn't I tell you to stay the hell off my grounds." Didn't he tell us to scram. Old people memory am I right. "I have these for you." "Papers? Hah, are you trying to employ that scumbag Kembell's tactics on me? Won't work, miss, unlike some, my papers are in order." "Just read it." "Well let's see- Oh my." No way that worked. Careful, miss, he hasn't finished reading yet. Don't ever call me miss again. My bad, girl. Thanks, that's much better. Anything for you.
"Are these from my daughter?" "Supposedly." "You know what… Excuse me, what's your name?" "Deia." "Deia, thank you for bringing me these, I think I have some things to put in order. Would you mind helping me real quick?" Well, maybe this time I will. I thought you didn't help out. We all have our flaws. "Take this key and find my vault in Fort Pinta, it has the documents Thomas needs to get Kembell off his back." The legal mess has a solution!? And we just stumbled upon it. I'm amazed. Guess Fort Pinta's next, Moonie. Hmm, am I nice enough to allow you a nickname? I don't know, are you? Just don't make it a habit. I won't. Then by all means. Thanks, Moonlight. Okay, you don't have to hammer it in. Just making sure. Where is Fort Pinta anyways? Well, if you had listened to old Holbrook, you would've realised we just follow the path and turn right. What would I do without you. Glad you're above not acknowledging how incompetent you are. Hey, I just solved a family feud and saved my workplace from collapsing in court. On accident no less! Accidents don't count, you said yourself it was snooping. And I said that fortunate side effects were possible, and this is two fortunate side effects. Fine, I'll consider it a small win on your part. Guess you're not above forsaking credit where it's due. Never said I was.
"Deia, there you are! You will never believe this!" Oh wait until you see what we have with us. "My grandfather was here and asked me and my father if we wanted to come for lunch tomorrow. He hasn't even acknowledged my existance since I was born! Can you believe it?!" "Only if you take these to your father." "What's this?" "From Holbrook, to Thomas." "Deia, I have no idea how you got these, but whatever you did, thank you. I'll get dad, hold still." Oh I'm not going anywhere. Not much for dramatic disappearances? No, not exactly. Glad he seemed happy though, that probably means it's legit. You think the old man would scam us? You've got to admit it was quite the heelturn. Icy hearts melt quicker with age I suppose. That's worrying. You're no ice queen anyways. Let me pretend.
"Deia! What ever have you done?" Interesting choice of words for such an overjoyed man. Cut him some slack. "I really can't thank you enough. Jasper did say he had a delivery for me but I would've never imagined it was this. He has saved this stable. Or, well, you have. You've evidently helped out loads." See, I told you, helping. Okay, fine, I helped. "Say, I'll make a copy of this, and you have the honour of delivering the copy of it to Silverglade's mayor and secure this legal battle for us. If you want to of course, I know I've asked you for way too many things outside of your contract already." Hey, better than the things actually stated in my contract. Are you sure you should've taken this job? I'm staying on Jorvik anyways, this was just a bonus, it's their fault for accepting my application. Really? Why did you come here then? School. Once autumn rolls around I'll be a university student here, but I guess I can allow myself to accidentally save a stable before then. What can I say, you don't exactly come to Jorvik for your average vacation. Evidently not. "Great! I'll prepare all the annoying paperwork, and all you have to do is ride to Silverglade village tomorrow, deal?" What do you say, Moonlight? I think it's a deal.

Had an interesting conversation with my VOA case worker today.
First, a little backstory. This is gonna be long, so brace yourselves if you actually bother to read this. And if you do, well, thanks. I just needed to vent about this and if you read this post, I appreciate you 💜
So I'm just putting it out there: I'm unemployed. I've never been employed, not ever in my whole life. Trying to find a job has been a real struggle for me for years now. I'm enrolled in Vocational Rehab, which is supposed to help me find employment, but they've honestly been no help at all. Not. At. ALL. I do everything I'm told to do, I go where I'm told to go, meet up with who I'm supposed to meet up with, I sign every document I'm told to sign, I jump through every single hoop they've ever placed in front of me and nothing ever gets done. I'm currently on my third job coach, who I haven't heard from since May, I emailed my VR (Vocational Rehab) case worker last week, still haven't heard back from her. Found out she's going to be out of the office until next Tuesday, so that's more waiting around before I can try to contact her AGAIN. I'm going to call her this time though, maybe I'll actually get to talk to her if I do that.
Anyway, I recently got accepted into Volunteers of America, who will also be able to hopefully help me find a job. I've met my VOA case worker, Leanne, a few times now and I really get along well with her, she's easy to talk to and seems to genuinely give a shit, y'know. So today we were talking about possible jobs I might be good for and I can't recall exactly what was said, but at some point, Leanne said, "Well I know what your dream job is-", and I cut her off real quick, saying that it's never going to happen and that I need to just give it up.
Keep in mind that my mom was also in the room with us at this time and my stomach dropped as soon as Leanne brought up my dream job. What is my dream job exactly? I want to be an actress. I want to be an actress more than anything else in this world. I've wanted to get into acting ever since I was a little kid, it's always been my #1 passion. I was part of an acting group when I was little, I absolutely LOVED it. Becoming an actress has always been something I've wanted very badly. And my mom's thoughts on the subject? She's not supportive of it at all, not one bit. Every time it's brought up, she just tells me I need to be "realistic" and once she literally said it would be "impossible" for me to become an actress. So yeah, it really crushes me that my own mother isn't supportive of my biggest dream, my #1 goal I've had for nearly my entire life.
So when the subject was brought up again today, I couldn't hold back and I burst into tears, I was practically sobbing in front of Leanne and my mom. My mom once again used her infamous "be realistic" quote, and I told her she's right, through heavy tears. And I could tell by her tone of voice that Leanne was bothered by my reaction, which really embarrassed me because I certainly didn't want her to feel bad, it's just a ME problem that I struggle to deal with and any time I'm heavily upset about something, I just cry, it's like an automatic response. I cry about shit all the time. Honestly, assume something's more wrong than usual if I'm NOT crying over something.
And here's where we get to the interesting thing she said. She said, "You know what I think is going on here. I think you're grieving. You're going through a sort of grieving process".
And that really struck a chord with me, I haven't stopped thinking about it since she said it. I asked my mom later if that made any sense to her and she said it did. And it makes sense to me too, I guess. I want to be an actress more than anything, I've never wanted anything more in my entire life. It's always been my #1 career goal. But it's not going to happen for me. It is NEVER going to happen for me, ever. It doesn't matter how much I want it, how much I yearn for it, I am never ever going to be an actress. And saying that hurts. It HURTS a LOT. Shit, I'm tearing up as I'm writing this, my throat feels tight, this really affects me deeply. And maybe Leanne's right, in a sort of way, I AM grieving. I'm mourning something I want so much, but will never have. And admitting that it's not going to happen really tears me up inside, it just really eats away at me. But at the same time, I have to get over it and move on.
I am never EVER going to be an actress. Never. And that's just something I have to live with and move on from, somehow.

Confidence, a beautiful and treacherous feeling at times.
Feeling superior is a constant whisper of the ego within you, calling to be released and make others feel as what they really are, despicable and useless trash. It was fun laughing at losers when you haven't had that sense of defeat yet.
Hoseok fervently watched his rivals fall at his feet, laughing at his incompetence and stomping even more pathetic defeated form even though they were already dead in tears of pain. He smiled, he always did when he felt invincible and He bit his lip gently to hold back an excited laugh.
No one could be compared to him, and in his high sense of power he could never be alert when he struck him with a blast of vengeance.
It was you.
His eyes stared at you in horror and anger, his ego inside him hated you from the first moment. Because while despicable, he loved you for much more than his pride and winning sense.
He fell at your feet but he never made you notice it, behaving as he normally would around you even though he was always behind you.
Luck was her greatest ally, he always smiled at her and she helped him. It was fun to play with your opponents pretending to be the victim, the cornered mouse and then smash everyone with a snap of your fingers.
His mother looked at him with love and his father with pride, he was the only and favorite son of the Jung family. His success was never derived from love, much less, it was blasphemy in his family to say something so false and impossible.
Hoseok admired his family when they met in the great message of his parents' house, his grandparents smiled and his relatives brought out their most exquisite stories to entertain. They were all crows pretending to show interest in a prestigious place in the will of the family's monarch, his grandfather.
It was at one of those dinners that he got to meet you, he used to get bored of hearing his cousins ​​tell their anecdotes with prostitute women who mostly called, whores of a night. Mocking their shocked faces when they refused to pay them and threw them out of their big luxurious houses.
He rolled his eyes when a family friend, little Jungkook who was known to his father because of his prestige in his last name, chimed in trying to get into the conversation with a shy smile.
Lucky bastard, he thought bitterly. He didn't like the little idiot sticking his hands in boiling water, he wasn't even supposed to be there.
He hummed a goodbye as he walked out the front doors, walking aimlessly to his bored eyes. His feet stopped abruptly with a strangled sigh when he first saw you, you looked tired as you apparently searched for a key inside your bag. Could visualize the logo on your shirt from the grocery store where he assumed you were employed, He stood looking for what seemed like an eternity at you before you find the keys and rush through the back door. He snorted before lazily continuing on his way, however the next day he ended up following in your footsteps again and with even more confidence.
It took a few weeks for him to be able to enter the small commerce store and be able to look you face to face for the first time, it was expected that you would serve him with a smile asking if he was offered something. But he did not see you anywhere, he looked for you before another equally young woman approached him kindly, he sighed making a face of disgust surprising the she worker, his expensive shoes got dirty on the floors of the humble place with shame. His little investigation and search took him through many corridors of the establishment, he observed the shelves and each person who seemed to be wearing the uniform of the store thinking of finding you distracted with your work, maybe he thought of approaching you and asking for directions which he clearly didn't need. Knowing that  she you couldn't refuse because that was your job. In a way, you were there to serve him.
He let out a bored sigh, tired of playing hide and seek, he turned around ready to leave that place that disgusted him so much in a certain way, but once again he stopped in an instant. It was a moan. He clenched his fists, walking hurriedly to the place where the noise came from, he was sure it was your voice and that made him even more angry thinking that he would find you in a compromising position with someone.
He did not think that his lover would be such a stupid and dirty person.
You were crouched on the floor, grimacing with pain and exhaustion. You seemed very annoyed trying to lift a box with your arms, the scene was tender and certainly pathetic, she smiled noticing that you were so distracted that you were never aware of how I was watching you with carnal desire and painfully bad adoration.
"I-can I help you." He was surprised at his little babble, justifying himself later. Nobody ever managed to make him nervous, his father used to despise weak people and certainly he always sought his approval by doing things that were not correct. "They seem heavy."
Your face pale before the scare, turning into a face of shame quickly, you shook your head with a gentle movement, smiling still pained. "I'm fine sir. Can I help you? Maybe he got lost, let me guide-..."
"Actually, I do need help but not with your services." I speak in disagreement, you seemed confused but she nodded at his request. The customer is always right, right? How convenient. "I need you to allow me to help you with that heavy box, not to be rude or calling you weak miss, but you can't seem to handle it."
Lie, under his politically correct excuse was a dialogue about how insufficient you are even with things as easy and common as carrying a box, obviously you needed his help and Hoseok could give you that and more, much more. You just had to say it, it was so simple and fun.
"I -... I can do it, but i will accept your help sir ..." He smiled making an emphasis for he to give him his name, he let out a small laugh finishing his sentence.
“Hoseok, you can call me Hoseok, darling..." He mock imitating his position, your name left your lips like a melody and he immediately felt the sweet taste of it slide down his tongue. Beautifully perfect, indeed. "Now that we can finish the introductions please allow me."
Her expensive outfit crumpled as she bent down to lift the box with ease, you were once again oblivious to her incoherent and certainly crazy fantasies, it was like a romance comedy movie in her eyes. The charming fellow always stays with the girl. And likewise, no one could go against the fictional plot.
He was immersed in the beautiful narrative that you would be hers at the end of the credits.
It was not the last time she saw you, she returned to her same routine of continuing to stalk you with obvious impudence. The only thing that really changed was her new setting and her character, he was hiding between the shelves waiting for the right moment to appear in front of you with a charming smile. Over and over, he was locked in an infinite loop.
He was starting to get tired of just having you in his arms and sheets just in his heavy and lustful dreams.
"A date? How funny Hoseok."
His face twisted in annoyance, but he put on a fake smile again when you looked at him again. "Hobi." He corrected in a high-pitched voice, insisting that you call him that. "And she spoke very seriously my dear, everything is ready."
"Eh ... I -..." A simple wave of her hands was enough to shut you up, you frown in confusion and secretly disgusted.
"On Saturday, I'll send you the address of the restaurant. Goodbye, dear!"
You watch it for a few seconds but he's already gone, you resign yourself to continuing with your work of ordering the products on the shelves. Thinking and trying to remember when you gave him your number. A very characteristic noise distracts you, a call makes you smile with love and adoration.
The plot is taking an interesting turn.
Hoseok was charming by nature, his economic position made him even more desirable to the opposite gender and even his own. It was not strange to see people flirting with him or being suggestive with his proposals, he was on a pedestal and he enjoyed it. His subconscious whispered a little bored. I couldn't deny that he became boring in a way, but you appeared in the story as an extra who soon became a main character. You changed the script of his life already established and narrated.
You were so funny.
He smiled in front of the mirror when he thought of you, since he met you that day he started chatting with you secretly from your supervisor. You had told him several anecdotes to make him laugh, you were also naturally charming pulling out various expressions of adoration that you did not even notice. Oblivious to that, you'd better get ready for the climax of the movie.
The wind was strong in the streets of Seoul, your hair was noticeably messy causing you to let out a tired sigh. You should be planning your wedding banquet right now, but you honestly didn't want to leave Hoseok alone at the dinner he had organized. You put the invitation in your bag, thinking of giving it to her when the time was right with a smile. He seemed like a good person and undoubtedly a good friend in the future.
"You're on time, I was just about to order our food. Honey." The last word slid down his tongue with malice and arrogance, Hoseok inwardly chuckling at your disengaged expression.
"Thanks, but don't stop you can order for both." You say arranging your chair correctly.
The restaurant looked relatively empty, there were only three other people including a couple who ate dinner while chatting enthusiastically.
You smile unconsciously, thinking about what would also make you feel the same way.
"I was looking forward to this dinner, my dear. I also hoped I could tell you how much you have captivated me for a long time, specifically since the first day I saw you." And the others too, he thought shifting your posture.
"Thank you, I'm very flattered to cause that feeling ... in, good in you." You whisper clearly uncomfortable forcing yourself to stay calm. You were sure that you had never given a hint or anything else in Hoseok to establish romantic feelings. "But I-... "
"I know, darling. That is why I have to offer you the opportunity to be my girlfriend and my future wife."
Wife?
For a moment, you feel a rush through your body. You refuse to make a scene in front of all the few people present out of respect, you calm down by counting to ten slowly in your head, but it becomes very difficult for you as you continue to observe his comfortable smile and how he behaves. He seemed very sure of the affirmative respect you would give him, you snort angrily at the thought.
"I am sorry to have been misunderstood Mr. Hoseok, but I am not seeking a relationship with you and very sorry I reject any relationship beyond friendship." Your body lifts up, making Hoseok laugh well in advance of your final sentences. "I am engaged and my future husband is waiting for me, good afternoon."
Trembling, you leave the invitation in silence, leaving the luxurious premises in the same way. The waiters watching you with surprise, being an audience of rejection and humiliation on your part. Hoseok sighs, sipping his wine glass patiently pretending not to hear what the couple behind him are saying.
What a bad luck.
Life wanted to want to return all his damn vanity to him, making fun of him with your almost imminent rejection, obviously he knew that you were engaged and that you loved the poor man who had the bad luck to be his competition, but love is not always the important thing in a relationship or at least not of both parties. The voices of the waiters and the couple distract him from his plans for his next step, he clenches his fists angrily dropping the silverware on the plate calling the attention of everyone in the place.
"Filthy vulgar and talkative people, she will be my wife even if her words have been heard by her prying ears." He raised his voice, causing everyone to shut up. "It's just part of the script."
Maybe if the character who wanted to be the main loses the role of him, he should be the villain. The bad guy in the movie.
He read the invitation with meticulous delicacy, laughing at the little message you put aside. He thought about attending for a second, wondering if it would be nice to walk in to go straight to the altar and shoot your husband willing to take his place by your side. But that would be risky.
"Where are we going, sir?" He asked his driver with a smile.
"Take me to the best brothel in Seoul." He whispered delicately, smiling just as happily as before your rejection. I'd make you pay double the bill for your indulgence.
And likewise, the world is a truly small place. Jungkook nodded clearly uncomfortable obeying someone other than Mr. Jung. Hoseok cornered him like a helpless rabbit in the claws of a cunning fox, flashing his jaw in warning. He felt confused about his little assigned task, watching the direction pointing the right way to his chauffeur who only followed orders.
A small feeling of remorse ran through him, making him want to vomit when he remembered how Hoseok's face was so close to his with arrogance, as his hands roamed his arms gently. He was disgusting how he used his power to such a useless and demanding gain, sometimes without any realism.
"Little Jungkook, you have a very lovely name. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, you were so insignificant that you seemed pathetic to me." He whispered making her wince. "My father told me that you are good at obeying, I would like to test his theory." His cold hands were constantly running down his arms, making a shiver run through his body. "Still remembering well, I already did it before."
Jungkook was weak under his cloak of power, where he could so easily hide it. Lose it. "Yes, h-hyung." An inappropriate moan came from his lips causing him to cover her mouth in shame, a little touch near his crotch was enough to tempt him. Hoseok smirked, narrowing his eyes before walking away slowly wiping his fingers on his expensive clothes in disgust.
"I want you to befriend someone, don't ask, just do it. I'll tell you your next step when you're done." He ordered bored.
"We are here, young Jeon." Notice Jimin with a smile, Jungkook sighed wearily thanking him before getting out of the car ready to fulfill his mission.
I observe him for a few seconds standing in the entrance without doing anything, he was cleaning the windows of the building with force. He seemed like a nice person, certainly a bit humble. He approached making the man bow respectfully, even though he was older. Money can buy everything, they say.
"I am young Jeon, a new investor. May I have a chat with you?"
The man was surprised, no one who was someone by name and a few numbers along with several zeros would be able to notice his presence and at least greet him. A coffee sounded more intimate and undoubtedly inconvenient for him, but again out of respect he accepted the offer with a smile adorning his features.
"My name is Jungkook informally, but I like you and you can call me that." He spoke kindly.
"Namjoon, Mr. Je -... I'm sorry, Jungkook." He corrected sheepishly, making her smile.
He still didn't understand that he planned to do Hoseok with a building cleaner, but he didn't feel in a position worth asking. Furthermore, he would still not receive an honest answer.
He passed by the same place every day, pretending to enter the building only so he could meet Mr. Kim and talk about unimportant subjects. He gained his trust almost immediately, promising that he would give her a better job soon at his own company. He felt like an idiot taking advantage of the man in front of him in such a way for a simple whim from Hoseok.
He was an idiot, but he didn't want to go back to what he was before. A pet.
"I'm very happy, I think she will make a good wife." He responded with encouragement, seeing how Namjoon nodded looking for a picture of his fiancée to show him. He seemed excited, Jungkook understood his happiness after he explained that he saved for a long time to achieve his dream of getting married in a church. They were both in it together, in looking for a future.
He got lost in his thoughts, maybe if he lied to Hoseok about gaining trust from him, saying that Namjoon was a very cold and quiet man, he could make him forget about it. He sighed squeezing the coffee cup in his hands, Namjoon caught his attention by showing a photo of you smiling at the camera with a background of the bridge and the sun behind making a beautiful background.
Jungkook became alert, having seen that face before.
Hoseok had you as the wallpaper on his phone, he knew it was you because of your characteristic features and the scarf you wore in both photos. You were the new fad of a rich fool.
"T-is ... She's so cute, you're very lucky."
Namjoon nodded with a smile, apologizing before returning to his work upon being called by his supervisor. Jungkook put aside his cup feeling the bitter taste of his thoughts, Hoseok was planning something, he knew he was a son of a bitch who liked to keep his plans under lock and key and in a deep grave. He walked away calling for Jimin quickly, before being accosted by Namjoon who came running over, seemingly forgetting something of the utmost importance.
"I apologized Mr. Jeon, but I wanted to give you this personally. It is an invitation, in addition to the proposal to be the best man at our wedding. My fiancee said that it would be appropriate for me to choose someone and I decided that you were perfect, you can decline if you prefer. . " He spoke kindly, as always. Namjoon seemed to have no hatred in his heart, making his own feel heavy on his chest.
Could he bear the blame?
"It's my pleasure to accept her proposal, thank you for considering me. Good afternoon, namjoon-hyung."
He said goodbye by getting into the car as fast as he could, making Jimin look at him with derision. Obviously noticing his nervousness, Jungkook sighed hiding the invitation as much as he could before reading Hoseok's message ordering him to go to his house to sort out his affairs.
It seemed like a joke as he always looked so flawless, ready to humiliate him again.
"Jungkookie, I'm glad to see you again. Now, we'd better come in for our talk." He smiled making anger grow inside him, Hoseok sat on one of his expensive furniture before pouring himself a glass of wine. "Well, I heard from a little bird that you accomplished your task. Good pet."
"Don't call me that, hyung." He grunted in annoyance, making him laugh. "I can't go through with this, I did what you wanted. Leave Namjoon-hyung alone."
"Oh, they're close now really cute. But you forget that I can't fulfill your wish, because "Namjoon-hyung " is an essential piece in my little game." I speak mocking him as always. "Then we will move on to the next step ..." He thinking for a moment, before snapping his fingers. "Invite him to a bachelor party night at the brothel in the center, I already made the reservation. When they are there, leave him alone. A whore will take care of him properly, and maybe you can go make him a oral another yourself." He sneered evilly, reminding her of his past, Jungkook bit his tongue resisting the urge to respond properly. "Since you're clearly good at it, little pet."
"Yes, hyung."
Hoseok nodded saying for him to leave asap, tired of seeing his stupid face. He got up ready to do so, but his arm was taken tightly before bringing his face closer to hers, Hoseok let out a sigh, doing he could smell his breath of mint and wine combined. His hand lowered him into his pockets dangerously close to his crotch, he bit his lower lip to resist a moan escaping him, this had happened before and he begged it to stop forever. From his pocket, she pulled the invitation out, making her gasp in horror.
"Godfather of wedding, new facet of you... kookie." Rolling he eyes pushing him away from him, he fell to the ground before being met by a blow to his cheek. "What a shitty pet, you idiot."
Two days was enough for you to tremble at the thought. Your dress was proud to be seen, it was the most comfortable dress you could find at a fair price. Namjoon tried to enter but he was stopped by your friend who said that he will wait until you keep the dress out of his sight avoiding bad luck. A smile wavered on your face, everything was perfect up to a point.
Namjoon looked at you, a blush covering his cheeks before asking his obvious question. You didn't expect him to want a bachelor party, but you couldn't refuse because you simply trusted him.
Maybe it was your mistake.
You wished him luck, feeling an inexplicable emptiness. Your friends didn't offer to make one for you, they just sat on the couch in their living room talking about movies and arguing about what color the cake would be. It was the calm before the storm.
Jungkook felt a giant headache, the lights of the place were making him dizzy. Jimin had insisted on going with him to such an 'unusual' place to keep him safe. Namjoon had brought a couple of friends who seemed to be always close to him preventing the woman who did the job Hoseok had him do from becoming difficult.
He smiled, thinking that he would have no choice but to let it go. But Hoseok was not a good loser, and neither was he a good winner.
Hoseok:
He distracts his friends, and be careful what you say, kookie.
Received at 11:30 p.m.
He bit his lip, glancing around the bar, thinking he'd find him sitting somewhere spying on everything but nothing looked suspicious. He sighed, sending Jimin out for drinks with one of Namjoon's friends who he gladly accepted. He got up having pushed one away, the other who introduced himself as Jackson seemed more reluctant to leave his friend alone but with a few excuses about feeling bad managed to get him out of sight.
Believed that he would find Namjoon sitting right where he was before but no, he was gone. He felt a burning feeling of guilt, maybe if you didn't find out, nothing would happen.
"You're still the same as before, boss." Jimin sat down next to him, making him uncomfortable.
"Same as before? I am no longer a child."
"But you continue to obey as one. The manipulation they use on you is your greatest weakness, you are afraid, you obey without hesitation thinking about how this will indirectly affect you. But you never do anything to avoid it, you feel bad about this but you still sit here without doing nothing."
"What can I do, Jimin? I don't know if he really left by his will, or if they forced him. I don't want to enter a room in this dirty place and see him sleeping with another woman, because he wanted to and is a fucking infidel . "
Jimin ignored his words, falling silent after several seconds.
Feeling unhappy is a horrible feeling without a doubt. The curious eyes looked at you as if they themselves could judge your story.
Namjoon disappeared as quickly as the wind, many sharp tongues said that he eloped with a lover so as not to marry you. Others believed it was a kidnapping, maybe a robbery gone wrong and he was taken away or he was killed somewhere far away. A sob escaped you just thinking about it, the detective in front of you watched you cautiously.
"We don't know anything about him yet, but we will continue with the investigations."
You nod, without saying a word. Jungkook came in minutes later with a handkerchief in hand, he observed you before gently hugging you. You had the pleasure of meeting him after Namjoon disappeared that night, he introduced himself as a close friend from work and quickly offered to help you with the search.
Maybe he felt guilt.
"Thanks, Jungkook." You smile wiping the tears that escape from your eyes.
"They are looking for the best they can, they even alerted the Japanese embassies in case they might take him there."
"Japan?" Puzzled questions. "Why would someone take him so far? He's just a man with little money, that's ridiculous."
"We don't know, but I promise I won't rest until I find it."
Hoseok sighs bored, witnessing the moment. He had been bribing the bloody police force to hide the information from you about the discovery of your fiancé's corpse floating in the middle of the waters of the river where they used to go together. The only thing that was removed intact from his clothes was a small photo of you smiling, sitting on the banks of the same river.
The police mourned the death, but his faces left grief when they saw the money in his hands. He made fun of Jungkook as usual, who passed by him ignoring him when he went to his house to talk to his father, he knew that the useless little one was very meddlesome in the search for your future husband and ex-fiance. He rolled her eyes remembering how she used to look at him with discontent in meetings, suspicious of him.
He was a good detective, he couldn't deny the obvious.
"You didn't have to do this, a I'm sorry was enough." You say admiring all the bouquets of flowers that came to your house from him. "And I'm sorry for your loss."
He wasn't sorry.
"My dear, losing a loved one is something without a name. I can give you more than this if you promise to smile again, I love your smiles."
Jungkook snorts approaching you from behind, Hoseok to growl at noticing him so close and see how he puts his hand on your shoulder, apparently like support.
"Hyung, he didn't think it's a good time for ... That."
"But little kook, when is not a good time to express how you feel about your loved one?"
"When that person you say you love is crying over the loss of someone special because of evil people who don't know what remorse is. Do you understand that, hyung?"
"No, not really." He laughs cynically making you lose your patience, your little body comes between the two men, with one already furious and the other inadvertently giving up, you make a face of annoyance before speaking.
"Sirs!" You yell at him immediately, Jungkook steps back adjusting his tie. A mania that he had and that you noticed when he presented himself in front of you with regret, he did it when he was uncomfortable or nervous. "This is not the time to argue, I think you'd better leave my house if you're just wasting your time. Thanks for the flowers Hoseok, and Jungkook ... I, I want to continue the investigation on my own."
"That?!"
"What you heard, don't feel responsible for Namj's disappearance -..." You tremble correcting your words, making Hoseok scoff. "My husband, he was just at the wrong time in the wrong place. Thanks for your help, I'll see how to pay you very soon." Jungkook denies trying to insist but fails when you are already closing the door and giving him an apologetic smile.
Your breath feels heavy, you sigh falling to the ground sobbing again. You wanted to find Namjoon, but a large part of you was afraid of how. Dead, with another woman, with serious injuries or simply ... Alive but with trauma for life. You did not want to see him suffer, it was your judgment in life to see the person you love cry in his pain.
You observe yourself, telling yourself that you would be fine when you find it.
Your email seems to explode with thousands of messages received from people claiming to have seen a man like Namjoon near their homes. You ignore them knowing that most of them were false, the first few days you read all of them giving the police false clues that they quickly denied and dismissed.
You dry your tears, closing all the windows and cooking a simple instant soup, eating in absolute silence. It was overwhelming feeling alone at home, where you were supposed to feel safe indoors.
The rain, thunder, and evil outside seemed to be invisible within that place.
A chill runs through you, the control of the television seemed tempting to calm that neat silence and avoid your boredom. You give up turning on the TV, you see the first channel, you keep changing looking for the unknown, you didn't know what you wanted to see. Maybe a newscast saying they found a tall man with dark brown hair and charming eyes unconscious, with a couple of blows to the face and a few scratches but okay, safe, alive and waiting to see your face waiting for him with a warm smile.
Swearing never ever to let go.
A couple of tears slide down your cheek, ruining your fast food. A few knocks on the door manage to scare you, causing you to bite your lip in anger.
"Who is?!" Questions in a shout.
Nothing.
"It better be good ..." You say in muttered, you open the door expecting to see a child running to his house laughing at his childish joke.
But no, there is no one at the door. Just a small envelope that easily slipped underneath, you take it hoping it's a letter from the police announcing good news. Maybe a simple identification of suspicious faces, or footprints at the club.
"I hate being the bad guy, it makes me feel good.
He's dead, I did it for you. For me. For us. I want to make you happy but it's so difficult when I don't know what you want, tell me what you want.
Love you. Love you. Love you.
My heart is so weak in your cold eyes, I feel that you look at me with ignorance of my feelings. Do you want to find it? Do you want to do it?! Okay. Good luck with it. "
It was everything, plus a picture of a golden ring with a large diamond shining brightly. You wrinkle the letter in anger, tossing it into the first bin you found nearby. It seems that in the end, someone did want to joke with you.
Your days remained the same, you went out to work and in the afternoons you called each of the investigators to ask for new news, it was almost always a solid wall, there was nothing really important to report and little by little, they gave up.
Jungkook knocked on the door, he heard some footsteps approaching making him have a little hope. But when the door opened he saw you with a worried face, he felt his heart squeeze in his chest when he tried to get closer but you avoid him by leaving in a hurry. You were dressed in a long black skirt and a white blouse, you were elegantly ready for something.
"Where are you going?" He ask stopping your hurried pace, taking your arm tightly.
"Yo, listen... He... Or her, I don't know who it is but ... You know, he or her know where, he's alive I know. I just don't have time, please."
Your mouth moves wiht fear, you were hiding something but not from him. You were willing to tell him but not now. Not at that time.
"Let me accompany you, I can take you and I will feel better if you are safe."
You nod, letting go of his grip and running down the stairs, outside there is a very elegant car, apparently waiting. The driver smiles at you as if he had known you before, you make an uncomfortable face trying to continue on your way but Jungkook introduces him saying that he works for him.
"Jimin, he's Jimin. He's a good person and a great friend, I've told him about you before."
"I see, sorry." You speak with a bow before climbing to the back, Jimin just smiles kindly, as always.
"Where are we going today?" He asks animatedly, Jungkook takes your hand for support making Jimin remove the smile from him. Your nervous state and your afflicted face are enough for him to understand the situation.
You give him an address, Jimin searches the map being unknown to the place. Your eyes sparkle when the lights of Seoul are reflected in them, Jungkook holds your hand tightly in fear of letting you go again. He felt sick when you stopped calling him, cutting connections with him totally to this day. He spend sleepless nights looking for more clues, the only thing I had until that moment was the identity of the woman, she was a prostitute without anything special, when he spoke with her he seemed indifferent saying that he did not know Namjoon and that the last time he saw him It was when he drugged him and left him in a room as ordered.
The whore made fun of him saying that he would give him this information if he did not tell the police anything, he obviously accepted. Now he repented, the woman disappeared after that and days later she was found in a garbage container. It seemed to be a suicide, the container was from her building, the window of her old apartment faced just where she was supposed to fall if she threw herself without thinking twice.
Right in the garbage.
The wheels of the car made a thud when it stopped, it was a cabin, the only one nearby. You came down quickly thanking Jimin who just made a flirty face. Your hands trembled with the cold, you look at the letter that tells you where and when you should be standing at the door.
"Wait for me here, if we don't go out or you hear noises, you know who to call."
"Yes sir!" Jimin obeys with a laugh at the boss's serious tone of him.
"Y-you should go, I can do this alone." Your voice rises in the echo of the silent place, Jungkook rolls his eyes before offering his arm to you, making his decision clear.
You laugh calming your nerves, the door opens just as you both step close to it. A man stops them, saying that only you can enter the next room. You stop Jungkook who was to protest, you calm him down by leaving your ring in his hands with a smile.
Your body disappears when another man closes the door silently, Jungkook sighs looking annoyed at the guards who ignore him.
A message coming to his phone distracts him for a few seconds.
Jimin:
Should I call the police, Mr. Jung, or the hospital?
Received at 9:35 p.m.
Smile ready to answer before hearing the door open again, he approaching you to ask everything and at the same time nothing. Your pale face is enough to make want to hit the person who was inside with you. Questions remain in the air, your arms surround him while you sob for forgiveness.
From the shadows Hoseok smiles, admiring the document in his hand, your signature shiny as gold is glued to it. He thought it would be more difficult to convince you to accept his marriage proposal, but the precious and expensive ring fit you perfectly. He raised his hand proudly admiring his own, the wedding would be planned as soon as possible making him jump like a happy child.
You had accepted, with the promise that he would bring you back to Namjoon.
But it was never specified in the contract that he would be alive.
The wedding was in a meadow, outdoors with distinguished guests and a few friends and family of yours. Hoseok greeted everyone, by taking your hand tightly introducing you as his wife immediately. It's as if he wants to show everyone that you now belong to him, as if you were a prize.
And maybe if you gave him the key to her success.
"You better smile my dear, nobody wants to know what will happen if you don't." Her lips brushed your hand before placing a chaste kiss on it. "I love you, my beautiful protagonist."
You sob, tears falling from your face as you melt into his disgusting caresses. The man in front of you, your un-predestined husband. The one who stole the position of your true love, he was kissing you delicately.
"Don't cry, decorate the room just the way you wanted. The photos were a special touch ..." His teeth bit into the sensitive skin of your neck, an involuntary groan of pain escaping. "Love you."
Your eyes move desperately to find a photo where the beaten, abused or dead body of Namjoon cannot be seen. You scream when you find one where you see blood everywhere, you are resigned to look down at the ground where Hoseok was crouching kissing the inside of your thighs.
Your mind tried to process the idea that Namjoon had been killed, mutilated and thrown into a river that washed away his body along with happy memories. Farewell to him was prolonged as your body faded in pain.
Hoseok enjoyed the sight of your eyes tightly closed, his cock throbbing inside you as she fucked you like his wife.
The head of the bed moved crashing into the wall, and unconsciously your walls tightened around it causing it to release a curse aloft to the sky.
We got to the end of the movie, smiled as he dazzled the credits by seeing Jungkook's lost name. His little bitch who was his toy for many years, laughed remembering how she did wonders with her mouth.
He pretended not to know him when her father introduced him, taunting her hurt face.
He held you in his arms tightly, you had been struggling to free yourself from his grip as he continued to abuse you over-stimulating your pussy. Your eyes closed falling asleep from crying so much.
He caressed your face, kissing your dry, chapped lips.
The end.

In My Veins (3/?)
House, M.D. Fanfic
Thanks to everyone for reading and for the notes left. I really do like reading your thoughts, so keep them coming. Also, those worried about House and Cuddy getting back together quickly, don't worry. It's not that simple, no matter what was in the last chapter and what you might think after this chapter. Also, fair disclaimer, I might have some details wrong as far as what happened at the end of the show... sorry, just go with it. And I know Cameron was gone... she's back because without Wilson, I needed a but of a sounding board. She won't be annoying, don't worry.
My song companion piece for this chapter is APOCALYPTIC by Halestorm. You can find it on Youtube. Great band, and it really inspired the ending. Also if I actually owned House and characters, I wouldn't have to write fanfic...I just would have made it all canon, so there's that.
A huge thank you to @love-hope-faith-feels-like-a-lie on Tumblr for helping to brainstorm a but and for reading all my stuff and helping edit and give feedback on what works and what doesn't. Enjoy!

"House isn't dead?"
Cuddy looked up from her desk to see Dr. Cameron entering her office with the memo she had sent out to everyone on the board about hiring House. "I know. I rehired him."
"No, I know. I just meant... you're not surprised? How long have you known?"
"Wilson told me at the funeral." She went back to her work then like it was no big deal. It really wasn't to her at this point.
Cameron was quiet for a moment, digesting all of this. "So you've known this whole time that he faked his death? Why didn't you say anything?"
"It wasn't my place."
"It wasn't your place to let everyone who was grieving know that he was alive?"
Cuddy had a 'seriously' look on her face when she glanced up from her file. It was House... the only two people legitimately grieving for him were Cuddy and Wilson. "No, it wasn't. I was no longer his boss. I was no longer his girlfriend."
"Why?"
Cuddy breathed deeply. "I was already gone. Wilson was dying. He wanted to be there for his best friend for once. I wasn't going to be the one who stood in his way."
Cameron was quiet again. "You're still in love with him."
Cuddy's eyes widened. "I am not...I'm the one who ended things. He drove a car through my house!"
"And you still love him," Cameron insisted.
"I left to get away from him."
"Leaving someone doesn't mean you stop loving them."
"Is that why you're back here working at the same hospital as Chase?" Cuddy deflected then.
Cameron was quiet for a moment. "Is that why you rehired him?" she countered with a pointed look.
Cuddy sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "I hired him to keep an eye on him. Wilson was all he had. I just want to make sure he's not going to self destruct more than normal."
Cameron just shook her head. She could see House entering the hospital through the glass door of Cuddy's office. "I hope you know what you're doing, otherwise the hospital is going to be ground zero when the time bomb goes off."
The two women exitted the office and walked out of the clinic just in time to hear House's declaration. "Ladies and gentlemen, I have cured death!" he started. "Elvis is back in the building. If you've got questions, direct them toward Dr. Cuddy," he pointed in the direction of her office in the clinic with his cane. He then started toward the elevator.
Cameron simply looked at Cuddy, as did the other staff in the lobby. "Yeah, this isn't going to blow up at all," she said sarcastically, walking away from the mess House had seemingly already made.
Cuddy closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "House, my office," she called before he could get too far.
He stopped and smiled slightly. "I knew it wouldn't be long before she just had to have me," he commented as he passed the nurse's station on the way into the clinic. "You bellowed?" He smirked as her office door closed.
She wasn't going to let him get to her. She wasn't going to bring up the kiss or anything about them. This was all going to be professional. "Maybe give the staff a few days to readjust to you before you start making bold declarations like you did this morning. Most of them are still shocked to see you alive."
"You mean you didn't post my picture all over the hospital and announce my out of retirement tour? Bummer," he commented.
She rolled her eyes. "The only people who got a memo was the board of directors. I have to notify them of any new doctor I hire in as a department head. Or in your case, a co-head."
He arched an eyebrow. "Co-head? I don't share my dictator power, you know that."
"Well you're going to have to learn. Dr. Chase took over diagnostic medicine when you left. He's done a good job, and I'm not going to demote him just because you've come back."
"Chase stole my department?"
"You left, House, that's not stealing. The hospital wasn't going to just keep the department around without an attending to run it. Chase was the most qualified. And he takes more than one case at a time," she countered, taking a seat behind her desk and crossing her arms. It was the safest place for her right then. It kept a barrier between them.
"You're really keeping him in charge of my department?"
"He's not in charge. You're both in charge. It's a good thing, House. It's going to let you ease back in. It gives you the puzzle you need. And Chase isn't Foreman... he's not going to butt heads with you or override you. I'm the only one who gets stuck in that particular level of hell."
He didn't like that arrangement, particularly, but she did have a point. Chase wasn't as bad as Foreman. He could usually manipulate Chase into getting what he wanted. "This isn't going to work," he said simply before leaving to begin the familiar walk back to his old office. He knew she wasn't going to give in, so he was stuck in the situation, at least for now.
When he stepped off the elevator, he walked down the familiar hallway. He passed by a familiar office and stopped long enough to give it a look, seeing the new name on the door. Taking a deep breath he continued on until he pushed open his old door with his cane and stepped inside.
"House..." Chase looked up from the file he was starting to review. "You're not dead."
He just gave the other man a look. "Clearly." He moved further into the office, going to the desk and dropping his bag, looking out the window toward the balcony that was on the back of what used to be Wilson's office. He breathed deeply again before grabbing his bag and turning to leave the office just as quickly as he'd come in.
"House!" Chase started.
"If you've got questions, call Cuddy," he called over his shoulder.
"We have a case!" Chase called from the open office door, only to see House continue walking. "House!"
House got on the elevator and went back to the main floor. He marched right back into Cuddy's office, past her objecting assistant. "I need a new office," he stated, leaning on his cane as he stood in front of her desk.
She took another moment before looking up from her file. "What's wrong with your old office?"
"Don't like it. Chase made it into a shrine for his ex-wife."
Cuddy just rolled her eyes and went back to her work. "You aren't getting a new office."
"I can't work in my old office. And while we're on the topic of needs...I need to hire a new team."
She looked up again and leaned back in her chair since he clearly was not going away. "You don't need to hire a team. The Diagnostics Department is already fully staffed with a team of excellent doctors."
"That's Team Chase. I need Team House. You have two department heads. We each get a team," he insisted.
She shook her head. "That's not how this works. You share the team that's there. It's not unreasonable. You personally only take one case at a time... I'm not hiring more doctors into that department for one extra case. I don't have the budget for that because I hired you."
"My salary is not equal to what it costs for my own team."
"No, your salary isn't. But when I hired you, I not only had to budget for your salary...I also had to budget for your lawsuits, the MRI machines you always seem to misuse and break, and all the other various incidental costs that come with employing an egomaniac like you," she pointed out. "Use the team. They're good."
He clenched his jaw for a moment before hitting his cane on the ground a few times. "Fine. I'll use Team Chase under protest. I still need a new office."
She shook her head. "There is no office available. Your office is fine. It's the biggest office outside of mine."
"Right... great idea. I'll just use your office until there is one available."
Her eyes widened and she pushed her chair back from her desk. "You will not!" She stood to face him.
"Then find me another office. Otherwise I'm moving in."
"I told you, there is no other office."
"Alright, Roomie," he said, moving to take a seat in one of her more comfortable chairs. "When my stethoscope is on the door, it means I've got a hooker in here."
She managed to contain her temper, instead moving back behind her desk. Maybe if she just ignored him, he'd realize he wasn't getting the attention he wanted and just go away.

House stood on her porch, beating on her door with his cane.
"Stop making so much noise. You're going to wake up Rachel," Cuddy said, pulling her robe tighter around herself as she opened the door.
"Not my problem. I wouldn't be here banging on the door if her mother weren't such a controlling idiot," he pushed past her.
"Right. Why don't you come in. We can talk about how I'm the idiot," she shook her head as she closed the door. She had expected to butt heads with him again, had even expected him to show up at her house to argue his point. But she hadn't expected it so soon. He hadn't even been back a whole week yet. She also wasn't sure what, if anything exactly, had set him off.
"You said I could have a team."
She just looked at him for a moment. Really? This was what he was so upset about? "I already told you. You do have a team. Chase and the three fellows that make up the diagnostics department."
"And I already told you. That's Chase's team. I want my team."
She gave a soft laugh. "There are four doctors...five, counting yourself, that make up the diagnostic department. Six if you count bugging Cameron in the ER with your theories. Seven if you count me vetoing your crazy theories and unnecessary procedures. That's more than enough to bounce theories around and handle your single patient of the week. I'm not letting you hire anyone else."
"First of all, you're not a real doctor, so you don't count," he started in on her. "Cameron isn't nearly as helpful now as she was when she worked for me. And Chase's team is too busy dealing with Chase's patients to be worried about my patient. I want my own team," he insisted angrily.
"No," she crossed her arms. "There are three doctors you can use to your heart's content. One patient a week does not justify me adding another team to your department."
He rolled his eyes. "You're an idiot!"
"You already said that," she pointed out.
"You're a horrible doctor. And you're cheap. You being a cheap idiot is what killed my patient!"
Ah... so that's what this was about. His patient had died. "You want to blame me because you didn't figure out the diagnosis," she stated.
"I'm blaming you because you're too cheap and too stubborn to let me have my own team. If I had my own team, they would have focused on my one patient instead of my one patient and Chase's three! My patient died because I don't have a team that is focused. We missed something because the team had to split their focus! They had to split their focus because you have some ridiculous urge to try to control me! This is on you!"
She gave a laugh. "Really? I think you've more than proven over the years that I have no control over you. You're uncontrollable," she countered. "Even when we were together you made it clear that I never controlled you."
He clenched his jaw and turned a bit more to really square off with her. She wasn't pissed off enough yet... he'd poke a different spot, push a different button. "That's what this little power play is really about. Me. You're still hot for me. And it drives you crazy."
She arched an eyebrow. "What are you even talking about?"
"You're pissed at me over everything that happened with us. This is your way of getting back at me for the way things ended."
"Don't go there," she warned lowly. That was a very dangerous hole to go down.
That's exactly where he wanted to go. He'd found the exact button to push and now he wasn't going to stop. This was the reaction he'd wanted. "Our entire relationship, you constantly said you never wanted me to change who I was. You knew how screwed up I was. You acknowledged it. I think it even got you off. You said you never wanted me to change. But in the end it did matter. Turns out that you really did want me to change after all. You probably thought you were such a great catch that you could make me change."
"I didn't break up with you because you didn't change. And for the record, I never asked you to."
"No, it was because one time when I thought you were dying, I slipped up. I thought I was losing the woman I loved, and I took a pill to numb everything for a few hours because I didn't know how to deal with that kind of pain."
"House, stop," she swallowed hard. She could feel her temper flaring with every word.
"I made one mistake. One. And the almighty, perfect Dr. Cuddy just couldn't be with anyone who isn't as perfect as she is! Only aside from your ass, there's not a perfect bone in your body."
"One mistake?! You think you only made one mistake our entire relationship? I never said I was perfect, but you...you lied to me. Multiple times. You weren't there when I needed you. You never showed up when I needed you... it was only when it was convenient for you and your damn ego! When I was sick you brought your whole team to try to diagnose me!"
"Because I was trying to save you!"
"You don't get to run around playing God! You can't decide who lives and dies, House! You can't save everyone! I didn't want House the doctor, I wanted House the man I loved!"
"This isn't about money or even you being stubborn. This is about you and me. This is about you being so angry at yourself that despite everything I've done, everything that happened, you can't help but still want me. You're still attracted to me, and you hate it,  hate yourself. So you're blaming me... taking it out on me with the one thing that you can control. My work," he growled angrily.
"If that were true, why the hell would I have rehired you?!"
"Because you want to fuck with me... in both senses of the word!" He yelled at her. "It's not my fault you can't control yourself around me. It's not my fault you still want me and what only I can do for you. It's not my fault..."
She interrupted him with a hot, angry kiss. It was searing and fierce, biting his lower lip roughly. When they both pulled away a moment later, they just stared at each other... really, more of a glare. They were both angry...at each other, at the situation, at the truth. They both were upset. That was it... the gasoline had been poured on and this was the final spark that caused the explosion.
Her hands fisted in his shirt pulling him against her as her lips crashed hard into his. His cane dropped as his hands yanked her robe open and began roaming possessively. There was nothing tender or gentle in the way he touched her... nor in the way she touched him. This was raw, unbridled passion and lust... tension that had been building between them probably since things ended if they were being brutally honest with themselves.
Her robe finally fell from her shoulders and her back hit the wall hard. His fingers were rough on her skin, grabbing her body in ways she knew would leave bruises, but she couldn't bring herself to care... leaving her own marks on his body from her mouth and nails.
She didn't even care about his shirt, going straight for his belt and jeans. They weren't going to make it to her bedroom. Even if this weren't such an urgent need for both of them, she wasn't ready to invite him back into her bed. So she shoved him down on the couch, yanking his pants over his hips in the process. She moved to straddle him, teeth moving over the skin of his neck until they sunk into his pulse point hard, eliciting a deep groan from his chest.
His fingers dug into her hips hard enough to leave fingerprint bruises, and his eyes were dark as they met hers. He quickly pushed her to her back underneath him on the couch, unwilling to give her the control he knew she wanted. His mouth ravaged every inch of available skin, biting and sucking, leaving marks everywhere that would serve as a reminder of him. At the same time his hands moved underneath her nightgown groping possessively, pulling her close and making sure he reminded her that no one else knew her body the way he did.
She gave him a few minutes to think he was in control, but there was no way she was letting him keep it. Her hands groped his shirt and pulled it over his head, tossing it somewhere to the side. Before he could realize it, she gave a shove to flip him to his back, which sent them both falling off the couch. He landed on the floor with a thud and a grunt, and she landed on top of him triumphantly. Her thighs straddled his, and she pinned his wrists to the floor on either side of his head, refusing to let him touch her for the moment. Her mouth ran along his throat, teeth grazing the skin as she dropped her hips.
xxxxx
By the time they were done, they were both still laying on the floor where they'd landed when they rolled off the couch, only he was now on top of her. His shirt was on her coffee table, his pants still around his ankles. They both had red marks on their bodies that would most likely turn into bruises, bite marks in various places, and she'd left rather nasty scratches down his back with her nails that had broken skin.
Neither said a word. Neither even moved until soft footsteps were heard in the hall. "Mommy?"
Shit. Rachel was awake and apparently out of bed. She gave House a shove so she could slip out from underneath him. "Go back to bed, Sweetie. I'll be there in a minute, okay?" She called to her daughter, hoping her voice still sounded normal. She waited until she heard the footsteps fade back down the hallway before getting up, still without a word to him. She straightened her nightgown and picked up her robe as she disappeared to take care of her daughter.
House laid on his back, staring up at her ceiling for a few moments before finally sitting up and redressing. Pushing himself up, he limped over to where his cane had landed and picked it up before silently letting himself out of her house. He stood on her porch for a few moments, trying to process his conflicting thoughts and feelings before shaking his head and starting toward his bike. He couldn't let this happen again. He knew he'd never be what she needed. He wasn't the right guy for a single mom. And he knew that she knew that. So he wasn't going to torture himself with the rejection that would inevitably come.

Steadfast Tin Soldier ||
Bucky Barnes x Reader
Note: The long awaited and requested part two is here. Decided to make this a mini series of sorts so expect a part three as well.if you wanna be tagged comment or send me a message pand I'll ad you. Warnings: stupid Bucky
Tumblr media
Y/N never imagined how much her life would change upon moving to the compound to start to work for Bruce. When her old boss told her he'd gotten her an interview for a proper job, a great one at that, she never thought it would land her working for the Avengers, or well a Avenger seeing as she exclusively worked under Bruce, but as time passed and relationships grew, Y/N found herself being a helping hand to everyone. If you took a look at her you'd never think of her as someone who had a career in science. That's why Y/N loved her chosen lifestyle, she was always surprising people, and she, herself loved surprises, and ever since she started working at the compound her life seemed to be even more full of them. But the greatest surprise came in the form of one James Buchanan Barnes.
She of course knew who he was, or more specifically who he had been. Upon being employed, Y/N was given a briefing on everyone who held a high position at the compound, which mostly consisted of the Avengers and a few select others, like Fury and Agent Hill. So of course she knew all about him, or more specifically, what she was allowed at that moment to know. She had been told of his past. His service to the army during the Second World War, his supposed death due to falling of a train, the years he spent being tortured by HYDRA, the atrocities he was made to commit while he was under control as the Winter Soldier. But if you asked her honestly she could care less about it. She was told he was a changed man, and she fully believed it, even if others that had known him longer still didn't.
When she finally saw him face to face she was a bit taken aback. You could tell he had been through a lot. His eyes gave it away. She could also tell he was an attractive man, under the unkempt long hair and slight beard he seemed to have. He was big, way more than her, the years of work and service evident in his body. She of course was also quite taken by the metal arm he sported. It was not the same one he had killed with before, no this was the brand new one, provided by the Wakandans. He'd caught her gaze that day, as she gave him the once over, and when she looked up at his face again, their eyes met. What had been surprising not only to her, but also to Bucky, was that she had not looked away in embarrassment, as many would do. Y/N seemed to have gained this new found confidence right there and then because her eyes didn't stray from the soldiers blue ones at that moment.
Y/N didn't see him again until a week after. He'd changed a bit. He no longer had much of a beard as he did before, it was more of a scruff now, as if he'd let it grow lightly, but not to much that it looked bad. His hair had been trimmed too. It was still long, more neater. It reached a little above his shoulders, but below the jawline. It didn't look unkept now, it looked, softer, lighter and not as greasy as the day she had first seen him. She started seeing a lot more of him after that day, and they had begun to communicate. Sure it took a while for them to actually start having proper conversations, but no matter how small the amount of time Y/N and Bucky spent together was, she always cherished it.
She had slowly but surely begun to be enchanted by James Buchanan Barnes.
She was actually thinking about him the moment Natasha and Wanda burst into her room, going off about some party Stark was planning, involving costumes, which she reckoned had to do with Halloween which was a couple of weeks away now. She wasn't much surprised at the news of the party. It would be her first one at the compound, but she knew of Stark's love for extravagant celebrations, so she expected it.
"How exciting, you'll be experiencing your first Stark party, and lucky for you it's themed." Wanda told her with much enthusiasm, which Y/N couldn't help but smile at.
Natasha made a face, "I wouldn't go so far as to call it lucky. But don't get me wrong you'll have fun."
Y/N gave the, each a once over. The three of them had quickly become friends after she had started working and living at the compound. Being the only three women in a group made up mostly of men was sometimes overbearing, but they had each other, so they tended to stick together to make things more bearable.
"So, do you know what you'll be dressing up as?" Y/N asked.
"Don't know yet actually," Nat was the first to respond. "Might go for something simple, but sexy, y'know, show off the bod."
"You're always showing off the bod in that catsuit of yours." Y/N argued.
Nat nodded, "Yes, but this time I might get to do it as a sexy fireman or even better a sexy Avenger!"
"But you are an Avenger." Wanda butted in.
"I mean yeah, but imagine me showing up as a sexy Iron Man or a sexy Captain America. Imagine how Steve would react." All three took a moment to imagine how said scenario would go down before bursting into a fit of laughter. It would be quite comical if it were to happen, and Y/N would put it past Nat to actually dress up like that just to get a kick out of one of the guys.
"What about you Wanda, any ideas?" Y/N asked.
"Well like Nat said, I also want to do something simple. Was thinking of a witch, simple enough I only have to buy a few accessories, seeing as I have enough black clothing already." Y/N and Nat giggled lightly at that. Wanda then turned to Y/N and asked the same question.
"Oh, I don't know yet. I mean I did only just find out about it. Maybe I could do the same as Nat, dress up as one of the guys, though I'd much rather go for the normal version than the sexy one."
Nat scoffed. "You'd look great in a sexy costume, you have a great figure. Your dainty, but muscular, you got curves and a good northern and southern region."
Y/N blushed at the comment Nat made, "Look who's talking."
"Hmm I might have an idea," Nat and Y/N turned to look at her, "Y/N, didn't you use to be a dancer?"
Y/N raised her eyebrows, "Uh yeah I was, nothing professional but yeah. How did you know?"
"You must've mentioned it before or something."
"Oh." Y/N didn't recall ever telling Wanda, but she supposed it could've come up in a conversation at some point.
"You could dress up as a Ballerina. It would be perfect." Nat offered.
"You think so?"
"Yeah, no one will show up as a ballerina, because let's face it, it's not really a very Halloween-y costume, which makes it perfect seeing you will be the only one."
"Well... I still have some of my ballet costumes from my last recital which wasn't that long ago."
"See," Wanda said quickly, "you wouldn't spend any money.
"Well when you say it like that it doesn't sound so bad."
"No more arguing Y/N, you're going as a Ballerina." Nat said proudly.
_________________________
"So you want me to dress up as a soldier for Stark's stupid party?" Bucky asked, "Why?"
Steve looked at Bucky as they were currently sat in front of each other in the common room. "Uh no reason, just thought it suited you."
"Why because I was a soldier?"
"Well yes, but also because I remembered that story you used to go on about back in the forties."
"The Steadfast Tin Soldier. You want me to dress up as the Steadfast Tin Soldier?" Bucky wanted to laugh. He found it quite odd that out of everything Steve could've brought up, he brought up this. The one thing Bucky had always used as a metaphor to his life.
"Well not exactly, but yes. You're not someone who tends to go all out with this sort of thing so I thought I could help, and I remembered how much you used to like the tale, so I thought I'd suggest the idea. Thought it would remind you of the good old days."
"But wouldn't I look out of place," Bucky asked, "The Steadfast Tin Soldier is a toy soldier, isn't that a little more adept to Christmas time?
"Well yea but Christmas is just around the corner from Halloween, and besides I don't think anyone will care." Steve tried to reassure him, but Bucky still looked uneasy. "Look if it really doesn't appeal to you, you can dress up with Sam and I. He's going as a bald eagle and I'm going as Uncle Sam, you could dress up as the American flag to complete our group costume."
Bucky instantly made a face. "You know I think I'd rather try my luck with the toy Soldier. Patriotism is more your and Sam's thing."
Steve smirked knowing his tactic had worked, "I'm glad to hear you say that. We'll be going to the city next week to buy the costumes."
"Alright punk."
________________________
The days came and went and before anyone knew it te day of the party was among them. Tony had scheduled it to be the weekend before Halloween. He had made it a rather private affair, inviting mostly only staff members of the compound and a select few other outsiders, but all in all it was still a grand party, but then again it was a Stark party, so it could be nothing short of grand. The party was occurring in the hall, the biggest room in the compound. It was normally used for when they had big conferences or meetings with most of the resident staff, and it was also built to be used for parties. Almost everyone was there already. Sam and Steve were currently the center of attention, with their very patriotic costume. Sam honestly looked ridiculous in the bald eagle get up, and well Steve who always seems to ooze patriotism and freedom seemed to be doing so more tonight. Natasha had indeed showed up dressed as a sexy Captain America, which had also indeed made Steve as red as a tomato for a couple of minutes. All three of them probably had the best group costume. That is until Clint and his family showed up. Clint strolled in looking as mighty as ever dressed up as Legolas. He thought he would give honor to the nickname Tony gave him, and he got a silver lining out of it as well, the greatest group costume of the night. Laura, his wife was dressed as Galadriel, while his kids were dressed up as hobbits.
Bruce showed up dresses as Albert Einstein, and he looked adorable with the big wig and bushy mustache. Wanda in the end opted to go as a fortune teller after having seen the most amazing baggy pants she had ever seen for sale at forever 21, which she matched with a black crop top she had lying around, a scarf that belonged to Y/N on her head and an about a hundred pieces of jewelry. Vision had probably gone for the simplest of costumes, deciding to just cut some holes into a sheet and go as a ghost. Rhodes was dressed in a bright purple suit with a frilly shirt, and he was sporting a wig. He was dressed as Prince, which if it wasn't already obvious, you'd get the idea after hearing him sing a horrible rendition of purple rain. And as seemed to be a recurring theme at the party, Tony and Peter also showed up in a group costume, or well a couples costume as it's technically called, but since they weren't actually a couple they decided to go with the term bro-stume, as in a costume of bros. it was obvious it had been Peter who had come up with the title. They were dressed up as Marty McFly and Doc from back to the future. Although the best costume of the night award probably had to go to Thor, who showed up dressed as a giant pop tart. Everyone knew of the love he possessed for the sweet treats, but they never thought he loved them so much he'd actually dress up as one.
Bucky was by the bar observing everything going on at the party. He had dressed up as the Toy soldier, like Steve suggested, and he honestly felt a bit ridiculous, with the big hat on his head and the obnoxious blue and red tones of the jacket. Don't even get him started on his tight white pants. The only thing about the costume Bucky was quite alright with were the black boots. It was then that the patriotic trio approached him at the bar.
"Why so glum chum?" Nat asked.
Bucky shrugged in response, "Don't know, I'm not really used to this sort of thing remember. This is my first party in over 75 years, and it's a costume one at that. Don't remember the last time I dressed up like this."
"C'mon, cheer up Buck, don't think about all that tonight, try to have fun." Steve reassured his best friend.
"Is Barnes in a funk because his sweetheart isn't here?" The four of them turned to see Tony and Peter approaching.
"What sweetheart?" Bucky asked confused.
"Oh you know, little miss lab assistant."
Peter cut in, "He means Y/N."
Bucky gave Tony a sharp look, "What makes you think she's my sweetheart, we're just friends."
"Right, just like me and Pepper are friends. Come on Barnes we all see how you look at her as if she were the last plum in the world. And I only say plum because I know you have an ungodly love for those things."
At that moment a six foot pop tart appeared, "Whats this I hear about ungodly love?"
"Oh nothing, just bothering Barnes about his school crush on Y/N." Sam explained.
"Oh I see." Thor nodded, "By the way, where is Lady Y/N, I am most excited to see her costume."
"Hmm yes, I wonder what she'll be dressed at." Tony said in a humorous tone, which earned him several pointed looks from the patriotic trio.
"Well wonder no more mister Stark, because she just arrived." Peter nodded towards the entrance closest to the bar, which also was the one that led to the private quarters of the compound.
Everyone in the small group turned to look at Y/N. Bucky's mouth hung open in shock the moment he laid eyes on her, and even the rest of them, who already knew what she would be dressed up as, did a double take at seeing her. She was wearing a white leotard, accompanied by an also white, slightly sparkly tutu that had pink details on it. Right below her shoulders she was wearing those frilly things ballerinas sometimes wear. Her legs were covered in white tights, but not the solid kind, she was wearing the see through type, the ones were you get a peek at her natural tone of skin, but it's still evident that the tights are white. She was wearing her old pair of pointe shoes, the light pink ones that matched the outfit. On the crown of her head rested a small tiara/diadem type of thing, which was rose gold in color and was adorned with fake pink and white jewels. Her Y/H/C hair fell in loose waves down her back instead of being held up in a tight bun as it is usually on a ballerina. She was wearing more make up than usual, but not a whole lot that her face looked cakey. She looked natural. She looked ethereal.
Bucky swore in that moment that she was not only the ballerina to his soldier, but that she was also an angel that may or may not have been sent to him.
As Y/N approached the group she started to blush deeply at feeling all eyes on her. She immediately started to have second thoughts on her costume. Once she was close enough to the group she dared ask the question, "Why are you all looking at me like that, is my costume bad?" In that moment everyone started talking.
"No, no you-you look beautiful doll."
"Lady Y/N, you are most divine this evening."
"The lab assistant turned into a graceful swan. Get it, swan lake reference."
"You look g-great miss Y/N, like a princess."
"Told you you had a great body."
"Hot damn girl, we need to get you out more."
"You look great Y/N"
Y/N blushed even more at all the comments, "Well thank you for the reassurance."
Everyone got quiet after that, no one daring to disrupt the awkward silence that had consumed the small group. That is until Tony opened his big smart mouth.
"Would you look at that."
Everyone turned to him, but it was Y/N that had voiced what everyone was thinking, "Look at what."
"You and Barnes."
She looked at Bucky before looking back at Tony. "What about me and Bucky?"
"I just found it funny that you're dressed as a ballerina and he's dressed up as a toy soldier." When no one said anything he continued, "You know, like that fairytale."
That's when it clicked in Y/N's mind, "Oh, you mean the Steadfast Tin Soldier?"
"Yep, that's the one" Tony quickly replied.
That's when Y/N looked over at Bucky and took in his costume. He was indeed dressed up as a toy soldier. He looked quite dashing actually. She then remembered the tale. She'd only heard it a few times before but she remembered the basic plot of it. Of how a Tin soldier had fallen in love with a ballerina. As she though more about it, she remembered more of the story, how it happened that the Tin Soldier was also missing a body part, much like Bucky. Only difference being Bucky had a metal one attached in its place. Everything had become quiet again, and it was obvious that the suddenly topic of conversation made Bucky a little tense. He didn't dare look at Y/N in fear of being judged, but contrary to his belief Y/N was quite pleased with the outcome of their accidental compatible costumes.
Y/N cleared her throat and turned to Bucky, "Say would this Tin Soldier fancy a dance, I know this ballerina does, and I don't think there is a better partner than you."
Bucky struggled to say something, he looked like a deer caught in headlights. He stood gaping at her for a few seconds before Steve lightly nudged him, "I- uh, sure doll, I'd love to." He slowly held out his flesh hand and she lightly placed hers on his. There was a drastic difference. His big, calloused, war torn hands and her small, frail soft ones. A soldier's hands and a ballerina's hands. Bucky led Y/N out to the dance floor and once they found themselves in the middle of it Bucky turned to Y/N, hesitance evident on his face. He still had her hand in his flesh one, which meant he'd have to place the metal one on Y/N's waist. He'd never touched her before with his metal limb, so Y/N guessed he was afraid to do so at the moment. She reached out and grabbed his metal wrist, and placed it tightly on her waist before inching closer and placing her hand on his shoulder.
"You won't hurt me Bucky."
"I'd never dare to doll."
A few seconds of silence loomed over them before Y/N spoke up. "It's quite funny isn't it, that our costumes relate in a way."
Bucky nodded, "Yea, you look beautiful by the way. Quite the original choice of costume."
Y/N blushed a light shade of pink, "Thank you, it wasn't my first choice but Nat and Wanda insisted on it, and now that I see the finished product I'm kind of glad they did."
That's the moment it click in Bucky's mind. Why Steve insisted on him dressing up as a soldier, Tony bringing it up right now, Nat and Wanda telling Y/N to dress up as a ballerina. They had both been played at the same time and they never noticed, and for what reason exactly Bucky didn't know. Steve knew Bucky liked Y/N, he'd accidentally let it slip one time during a run, and ifs he's being honest he's not exactly the most subtle when it comes to her, so he didn't put it past the team for noticing. He didn't know why the team went through all the trouble to try and set them up like this. Y/N had never given him a reason to believe she felt the same as he did. And even if she did , he didn't deserve her. Bucky then began to internally panic. She deserved someone better in her life, someone who was completely stable, who didn't have as rough a past as him, someone who was better than him. He stopped dancing and stepped back from her looking down at her confused features. She was about to say something but before she could he cut her off, "I'm so sorry doll, but I have to go." And with out a glance back he bolted out of the room, leaving her in the center of the room all alone. The rest of the team watched in horror as Bucky quickly left the party. None of them had expected Bucky to do that. Out of all the possible outcomes tonight could have, that one was never even considered.
"God damn it Barnes, one tries to help and you do this." Tony sighed.
"Lady Y/N looks sad."
Wanda turned to Thor, "Of course she's sad, she just got left in the middle of the dance floor by the guy she likes!"
"Frosty screwed up big time." Clint added.
While they all argued over their failed attempt at getting Y/N and Bucky together, said girl still stood in the same spot in which Bucky had left her. She still stared at the door, in hopes that this was all a joke and he'd come back. But things aren't a fairytale. And in that moment the Ballerina lost her Soldier.

I have this character that's always trying to take matters on their own hands and won't trust others to handle them, they can take help, but in the end they have to make the plan ad take the big decisions. The pressure and stress of dealing with so much stuff takes a toll on them. I'm trying to find a situation that sort of forces them to let others handle things so that they can recognize others are just as good handling stuff. I'll add that my work involves fantasy, so that could be a cause.
A situation like this is definitely going to take an event or something big to make this character change. I’ve seen a similar situation with someone who often took too much responsibility, and for a long time, despite warnings and others asking if they can help, they were stuck in this cycle of promising to do better but continuously going back to controlling everything, until it got to a point where it began to affect their friendships. It wasn’t until they took a step back, and almost lost their closest friends, that they changed and let others begin to take the responsibilities as well. 
The situation should really move or personally affect the character so that it becomes important to them. The situation and its consequences should affect the character enough that it’s something they cannot ignore. And it’s okay if it’s not always pleasant. Maybe your character discovered that a job they did actually went badly or they found out that a large group of people didn’t like what they had done. It can be easy to ignore what a couple of friends are trying to say, but it’s a bit more difficult to ignore a large group of people saying you did something wrong.
A couple ideas:
Have them make a mistake that has important, or even irreversible, consequences.
A situation arises where they are needed in multiple places at the same time, and they are forced to accept that they need to delegate power (they can’t be in every place at once).
This character could either talk or have a falling out with one or more of the other characters about delegating power and sharing the responsibilities.
Character goes to extreme lengths to try to take care of everything only to have their plan backfire; e.g. maybe they employ some form of forbidden magic.
One of their friends gets hurt (physically or emotionally) because of the character trying to take on too much and do everything by themselves.
Here’s an article about how good people can “go bad”:
http://www.springhole.net/writing/how-good-people-and-well-intentioned-groups-can-go-bad.htm
This flowchart, called Is this my Character’s Fault, might also help you get ideas, especially for the other characters affected:

Hope some of this helps!

Are you tired of your job?
Feel like firing your boss?
Ready too learn to do something new?
Want to work for yourself?
Set your own hours?
Work online?
From home with family?
Work a few hours while on vacation?
Well, that's what i finally have found.
28 years of searching systems online that never seemed to work for me. Spent thousands of dollars in research and finally i found a group of people who are doing just that and are willing to give detailed instructions on how to do it just like they are. They give me instruction on how to keep up to date with the changes that I will need to be aware of in order to stay on top of the changing online Market. They have given me knowledge so quickly that I really cannot even believe it. And it is working already.
I've driven a truck for about 28 years after I sold a pest control company in Phoenix Arizona area in a little town called Maricopa. You can check it out, R&R pest control. My wife at the time and I sold that business and move back to Illinois to be around family because her mother was very sick and family matters more than pretty much anything else on this planet.
Well, it wasn't long and the divorce came. Wasn't seeing that spin of fate. But I live through it and after a little bout with depression and staying home locked in my room with groceries brought by friends, I manned up and stepped out into the world again and the first place I went to apply was for truck driving.
My goal was to work it for a year and enjoy it and save money and start a new business. But I never quite found exactly what I was looking for. I found a lot of things that sounded good, but they just didn't seem to work for me for whatever reason. I could give all the names of all these different things that I've tried, however it doesn't really matter. In the end, they just did not work for me. You might be feeling the same thing.
Well this company started me out inexpensively, actually the first step was free and I'm going to offer that to you in this blog eventually once I get the ending part of my website set up, probably in the next week or two, maybe in the next couple of days even.
I love this company so much that I decided to be an affiliate marketer for the business Institute itself. Well $39 later after that first free ebook, which is only about 20 pages, and I was training to understand what the three business models I was being offered to start work. Pretty soon they offered me an upsell too either the whole package for more money than what I wanted to spend or for one class that I could easily afford. But I already had fallen in love with all three of the business models and in right now putting them all together and bringing them online. Affiliate marketing wasn't really the first love, but I do love their system. I love all the support that they're giving. The openness that they have. The mentorship program where they tie you up with basically and millionaire who's doing one of these three businesses and making it, giving me advice that's a truck driver for nearly 28 years, and knowing pretty much nothing anymore about computers. Everything I ever know about a computer has long since expired in any kind of relevant way.
Yeah I'm that guy who's been dealing with a smartphone as his computer, because it's all I really ever needed up till now. And actually you can do this job with a smartphone, I just think it's easier on the laptop.
Then along the way there's another upsell, if you want it and can afford it, which I do but as of yet can't quite afford it. It is mentorship one-on-one every week a couple times a week with one of these millionaires taking their personal time and selling it to me and or to you in exchange for a fee.
There are also live meetings several times a year and even a mastermind group once you get in and are doing well enough to afford it. I'm really really excited about the Mastermind groups. So far I haven't been offered one and as of now my billfold just doesn't afford it. But if you have good enough credit, you can find a way to finance anything you want. The unfortunate part of the whole deal is that I decided I didn't care about credit and I did their Dave Ramsey thing, I got rid of all my debt. I've decided to move to the Philippines permanently once I get rid of this job as a truck driver, that's where my sweetheart lives. And I don't even keep a house. Live right behind the driver's seat. Yeah that's right no house, for the first time in nearly 50 years, no car. But that also means no insurance for the house, insurance for the car, electric, water, sewer, gas, trash, gasoline, oil changes, flat tire repair cost, etc etc. You know what I'm talking about. And so I don't really want to make personal debt in order to make business happen. Yes I'm stubborn. But I think there's a way to do this the right way, and so I'm taking the slower track and doing it as I go.
The lung and the short of it is I'm getting ready to start a publishing company, I've already started the online affiliate marketing business. I'm also in the process of starting a digital agency that helps businesses get more clients by working in the seo, ppc, and Google my business industry. Once I get all three of these up and running, I will also be starting an audiobooks publishing company and I've already affiliated with Amazon and audible to make that happen. That's a really exciting opportunity right now. Audible and Amazon have 80% of the book Market in America at this time. So in effect, by getting into this business Institute I met someone else who could get me into that business as well. Between the four businesses, I hope to be employing over 500 people within the next 3 years. Yes that's right you heard me. I believe that when we help other people to get ahead in life, our success is destined to just happen. I also believe that unless we set our mind to do something and don't give up by talking ourselves out of it, saying well I knew it it wasn't going to work for me.. which I've said numerous times over the last 28 years, if we set our mind to learn something well and just continue to do it, we can do it. I got this mindset by listening to many many audiobooks on audible which I'll later be requesting that you guys look into. I think mindset is the biggest thing that we need to overcome and change before we can actually be successful in life. Boy do I have a list of books that are amazing for just that. So if you're interested give this page a listen to. Join me. And let's learn together. No I'm not going to give you the link yet but I will shortly. As a matter of fact if you message me privately by sending me your email and telling me you're interested at [email protected] I would be happy to add you to the list and send you that link ahead of time. Just send me a message saying I want to learn about the Business Institute with the free book and put me on your mailing list. Then I'll send you a link to get into the system and there they'll ask you for your first name and your email one more time and that will put you on the list and get you that first step of the free 20 Page ebook. That particular web pages almost ready to go live online, but this is something I only recently decided to do and I'm still building it. Just like you might have noticed that this is a pretty vacant box so far.

Conclusion:  If an individual might be getting a peer also known as consultant to accomplish your job hunt towards level of contact using a prospective employer - stop doing this now. Perform get easily the involving someone gathering job order description or information a person personally. You make connect - use the opportunity create an an idea. 
Everything I'm stating we have found true and my personal experience. I have been working in certain facet pc work since i have was a youngster and been recently continually increasing my pay by 12-20K a year with every new job I just take. I'm usually unqualified for the positions I take to. I've been laid off once and outsourced twice, however the longest I've been unemployed was 3 days time.
These "brokers" work within a transactional course. Their job is always to match achievable spec from an employing organisation with the CV a good individual who can do the job. It is often a paper marriage - imagine job specs flying from air from search of the "ideal" Job application. When you boil it down, that is what the recruitment process is going to be. It is highly lucrative for that brokers. Greater transactions that complete, the actual greater % of the job holder income supply earn and when they are ok. The organisation that is recruiting; has a job must be filling is happy too. Send me inside the CVs you have got, they tell the brokers, and we'll let realize who weight reduction to see.
Go Head Hunt Yourself was accessible for employers on the lookout for real talent. The Candidates on this site are educated professionals in their field, with experience and knowledge you won't find easily somewhere besides you. headhunters mumbai love us for the caliber of employee they find here; jobseekers love it because process, which is finally pick the dream job they want and have accumulated.
When allowing your CV into this process, you join any huge selection of others who, through the broking process, ping out as potential candidates. Presently there only essentially the most basic consideration given to "soft" qualities, This process is driven by basic, measured data points - have you done a new job that is titled similar to one that the recruiter is matching? No surprise that the recruitment industry features the reputation as one of the most conservative previously business complete world.
Don't hesitate to apply just because you don't satisfy the requirements an ad. Seeking are interested in the position, then send your resume to vehicle. It never hurts to send a resume and on the earth ! thing technique do is say none of. You never know, though, they might look over your resume, give merely call, and end up hiring you will though required meet every one of the requirements they are asking with.
What made the discovery even more unique was that this skull has not been found in a burial field. It positioned inside the shelf of one of Jericho's ancient dwellings. They didn't just find probably these sculls, with further excavation, they went on to find eight more.
So any further my self-help advise to myself is consistently keep my resume up to date, as well as the first time someone asks me to do something outside of my job description because I am such a fine worker: start sending my resume to head searchers. Does this mean I would be wii employee and pretend Not able to do my job forgetting about a job outside of my job description? Do i need to go to and play at business so I'm left alone and enterprise eventually forgets about me and I simply show up and collect a salary? No! Most of us are not built that way, we only keep plugging along until will get that big break: We high hopes. Maybe I'll go back a new typical "A" personality or maybe a B+.
