Me: Okay I am going to choose one Wangxian fic and one Zimbits fic to finish for the WIP Big Bang. Maybe if I am feeling saucy (and I write a lot in May) I will add a third fic before signups close May 21.
Me: *signs up for WIP Big Bang with two specific fics*
My brain: Heyyyyyy how about we get super inspired to work on this other fic we haven't touched in literal years and had no intention of even trying to finish anytime soon?
#the zimbits fic I signed up for is Bad Idea#and yet here I am working on my 2018 Winter Olympics fic#wherein they were together in high school and are reuniting at the olympics

Airi playing an important role in the story but also the fact that she's the only proof of oda kazuha and saito tooru's existance on earth is wow
#look okay so like it's not confirmed how many times the other magicians can reincarnate but they CAN reincarnate more than once and CAN be#reincarnated to a different world. makia and thor are the prrof of thatâ not only that but airi being connected to both of them possessing#memories of kazuha and tooru's existance in airi's world....#so airi's presence in maydare is the only proof of kazuha and toru existing in another world other than makia and thor themselves#because look thor STILL don't know about his past life as tooru but makia and airi knows#airi is what reminds kazuha of the other world other than her own memories makia is the only person who can remind airi of her previous wor#because airi had been shown being homesick in a certain way (the cuisine/food) and makia's the ONLY person she knows that have memories of#their life as japanese high school students. makia is the only person that reminds airi of her previous life- they're each other's proof of#their previous life's existance im gettung insane#but the thing is both of them are moving forward from their past but like there are remains of fondness of things they liked and that's ok!#it's like moving forward but still acknowledging their roots acknowledging what they were before acknowledging how far they've grown#cries i know im repeating myself and maybe not making sense but istg i didn't mean to shove thor away đđđđ#im so sorry i know he's like. he appeared in the early chapters and i *did* like him but deadass would not care about him#it's only because of makia that i care about him im sorry the other characters captured my heart.. was it because he's out for a long while#but i like that type of shit when the ml is gone for some time and then they reunite... and the fact that other characters are out of scene#sometimes too so like? maybe im too biased sobbing what the hell#the savior's guardians are like. i don't really care abt them esp the two knights (leonhart or something and thor)#prince gilbert is annoying yeah but i don't hate him and my impression of his character improved reading through lady alicia arc#so yeah gilbert is annoying and pretty okay to me now but at least he's not a character i can easily forget lol#i think i need to REALLY reread mtm because i really could not bring myself to like thor higher than 'hes okay ig'#sylhea talks maydare

HI MEM!! hereâs a pass to go on a book rant (because i love when youâre a hater hehe⊠esp if weâre hating together >:)) AND AS FOR TRYSI ASKS⊠gimme some songs for them pre-breakup and post-breakup đłđł i expect ANGST!!
THANK YOU FOR THE RANT PASS, WE ALL KNOW WHAT IâM GOING TO RANT ABOUT THIS TIME⊠IâM SORRY, I HAVE OTHER BOOKS I COULD RANT ABOUT, BUT LETâS TALK ABOUT THE DISGRACE OF A SPIN-OFF SERIES THAT DID MY PRETTYBOY SOO DIRTY
re: evangeline being a shitty character. hoh boy. yikes. like, she was pumped straight out of âgeneric ya protagonistâ factory with all the default settings and stephanie went âyes, this is good character buildingâ. âŠ. iâd be more interested in a shallow character. i said it in my previous tags, but there could at least be a somewhat interesting dynamic there. maybe it would be hilarious to stick jacks with a character boring as bricks!!!! ((this is why simeon and jacks make a very funny friendship dynamic)). maybe it would be cool to explore a character thatâs shallow developing depth??? maybe we could have a character with, like, a legit backstory? but a) evangelineâs boring, and b) sheâs just a poorly-written reader-insert, since stephanie wanted to appease the fangirls in love with this bitchy fate. sorry, but jacks wants a bitch <3 he needs a spitfire girl to keep him in his place <333 evangeline needs to go to her pre-calc class, sheâs failing rn.
((related: still thinking of that one post i saw where somebody was like âstop saying evangeline is stupid and make bad decisions! sheâs just feminine! say you hate women next time!â âŠâŠ so naturally feminine women make bad decisions??? theyâre stupid?????? is that what youâre saying??? also, like??? the original protagonists were highly feminine characters??? iâm so confused with how femininity MUST mean trad-wife, LIKE WHAT??? ? anyway, evangeline is a bad character, but not bc sheâs feminine. itâs because sheâs poorly written.)
OH YEAH, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU A) ADMIT TO NOT KNOWING HOW YOU WANT TO END THE SERIES, AND B) ADMIT THAT YOU PLOTTED THE SECOND NOVEL FROM JACKSâS POV AND DECIDED TO LEAVE EVANGELINE WAITING AROUND FOR HIM TO COME BACK WITH PLOT-RELAVENT DETAILS???shitty, boring writing, couldnât figure out what to do, so we leave the protagonist in her perfect little cage because sheâs a boring doll for jacks to toss around when heâs around. no, sorryâbecause even if evangeline were a doll, she would be a more interesting character. i mean it.
((side note: you can have a traditionally feminine character with pink hair actually do shit btwâŠ. like luna rune is right there, getting shit done, and then sheâs happy to settle down with simeon and have three kids. like, it makes sense for her character arc to be badass and travel through time, and then end up with a happy life at the end of it allâŠâŠ itâs possible to write something where thatâs fulfilling. god, itâs like stephanie wrote a random character and decided to slap jacksâs name on him so he could be attractive as a âvillainâ. heâs a sopping wet cat with the remains of his failed schemes scattered around him. ALSO, HEâS NOT MUSCULAR, HE CANâT FIGHT, THEREâS NO WAY HE CAN SHOOT A FUCKING BOW AND ARROW.))
iâm DONE.
âââ
anyway.. trysi pre-breakup:
every little thing she does is magic by the police ((âŠPEAK HIGH SCHOOL TRYSI, I CRY))
only the good die young by billy joel ((i like thinking of chrysi pulling tris from his shell to this song⊠trisâs mom does NOT like chrysi, because chrysi gets him in a lot of trouble, so thatâs what this song makes me think of :)) that said, trisâs dad LOVES chrysi for that exact reason LMAO))
kiss me you animal by burn the ballroom ((he sings this and then goes on a date with chrysi and is like â;;;;;;;;;;; hiâŠâŠ can we⊠what if we⊠uhhh kiss?â ââŠâŠ..you remember those cleaning closets. why are you acting like this?â UMMâŠ))
trysi post-breakup:
superstar by carpenters âŠ.. ITâS FINE, THIS SONG DOESNâT KILL ME EVERY TIME.
always something there to remind me by naked eyes ((lyrically⊠itâs a bit upbeat for their breakup, but the lyrics are soooo tris going around and being reminded of their relationship. he loved her so muchâŠ))
more than a feeling by boston (again, lyrically, it fits?? but itâs a bit more upbeat than i think tris would listen to. THAT SAID, I LOVE THIS SONG TOO MUCH. YOUâRE STUCK WITH IT.)
i hope ur doing well (feat. colliding with mars) by savage ga$p, colliding with mars ((juno and i love to say that tris would make songs abt chrysi like this allll the time if his bandmates didnât stop him. itâs so whiny <33 i think itâs hilarious))
i wanna know by tea ((OKAY, LIKE, IâM ACTUALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS ONE. I LOVE THE LYRICS AND THE VIBE. ITâS TRIS AND CHRYSI ABOUT EACH OTHER))
the killing kind by marianas trench ((particularly the way it sounds, but lyrics fit somewhat??? i loooove this song though hehe))
unrelated songs that make me think of tris:
night life by hello atlantic ((tris accidentally turned into a murderous vampire on one of his concert nights??? oh???? and chrysi now has to help him??? what a shame!))
sad (clap your hands) by young rising sons ((heâs my pathetic little babygirl, you must understandâŠ))
coward by those who dream ((PEAK TRIS SONG, HEâS GOT SOOOO MUCH UNRESOLVED ANXIETY. DONâT WORRY ABOUT IT))
rot by dbmk ((idk, it makes me think of him⊠the idea that heâs rotten to the core appeals to me, likeâi think he views himself that way!!! esp when he canât control his magic and he hurts ppl because he gets easily distressedâbut also, that he wants so much more, and it makes him feel like heâs rotten??? AAUGH.))
dream on by aerosmith ((mostly, i think heâd like this song in general. and heâd sound soooo pretty while singing it <33))
#sorry i thought i had more angsty trysi songs⊠i probably do but theyâre buried somewhere. i jst think of 80s coming of age stories#when it comes to trysi. bc they were a couple in high school and broke up and went their separate ways⊠then they reunited <33#i mean they broke up AGAIN but itâs okay. we ignore that.#.asks#m.kaiđ#sorry those songs are all over the place <//3 also my medication wore off again so iâm too tired to link all of these songs#iâm sorry :(( but i hope you like them <33

Before Sukuna was defeated, he hid your identity from history as well as he could. He wanted to make sure his beloved lover was never found by the sorcerers. However, after his death, no one was there to stop you from being found and sealed.
They would have killed you, but the love poetry and letters Sukuna had written to you was proof that you were his only weak point, so you were sealed in the fear that Sukuna could possibly return centuries later and you could be used to calm him as a back up.
Centuries later and the ancient sorcerers were right. The fearful King of Curses was revived and the higher ups of the Jujutsu world wanted Itadori Yuji executed for being his vessel.
However, Gojo Satoru had other plans.
Your prison realm was stored away deep within Jujutsu High, and he knew exactly where you were and how to unseal you.
âWhereâŠam I? Who- who are you?â
âYou are currently at Jujutsu High, a school that trains young sorcerers for the world ahead of them. And I am Gojo Satoru, a teacher here at Jujutsu High and the strongest sorcerer of the modern age. But donât worry, I didnât unseal you to hurt you.â
âWhat did you unseal me for then?â You have no clue what heâs talking about. Youâve been stuck in a cube for what felt like â and was â many many centuries. And this strange man with white hair and a blindfold is telling you about things you barely understand. Your head is spinning.
âI wanted to reunite you with someone.â The man turns around, waiting for you to follow. âAre you coming?â
âHow do I know you wonât kill me?â You say shakily, tears pricking the corner of your eyes. Youâre so unbelievably scared.
âI wonât. I just want to bring you to someone you know. Someone you love. Sound good?â He finally turns to face you again. Even though heâs blindfolded, itâs like he can see you shaking on the floor.
You wearily bring yourself to your feet and purse your lips. ââŠokay.â
ââââââââââââ
Gojo: Hey, Yuji. Iâm with someone
Iâd like you to meet. Meet me at
the training field in 20 mins.
Yuji: Okay! See you soon Sensei.
ââââââââââââ
The walk to the training field felt long but also fascinating. Everything around you was so new! How long had you been in that cube? Youâre pulled from your wonder when you see someone sitting on a step by the field. His fluffy pink hair reminds you so much of Sukuna it makes your heart break. You miss him so much. Perhaps Gojo has taken you to meet his descendant?
âAh, Sensei! Who did you want me to meet?â
âHello Yuji! I wanted to introduce you to someone very important. Say hello to L/N Y/N!â
âOh, hello Mx. L/N! Iâm Itadori Yuji.â He gives you a bright smile and a firm handshake.
âHelloâŠâ Thereâs a beat of silence before Itadori turns to his teacher.
âSo, whyâd you want me to meet this person?-â
âHow is Sukuna right now?â You perk up at this. Did he just say Sukuna? Was this kid Sukuna? No, definitely not. Then whatâŠ
âHuh? Well, heâs completely slient for once. Itâs actually quite refreshing to not have his constant nagging- whyâd you ask?â Suddenly an eye and a mouth apear under Itadoriâs left eye.
âY/NâŠâ
âHuh- hey!â Itadori slaps his cheek to stop Sukuna from freaking you out.
âItâs okay, Yuji. Let it happen.â
âBut-â
âSukuna?â Itadoriâs confusion intensifies when he sees you tearing up. Not out of sadness, but rather happiness and confusion. Just who are you?
ââââââââââââ

here with me | s.r.
four times Spencer feels out of place in your house after being released from prison, and one time it's like he never left
margotober masterlist
who? spencer reid x fem!reader category: fluff content warnings: mom!reader, dad!spencer, post prison, crying, stephen walker's death, non-specified illness, baking, kissing word count: 3.58k a/n: i love this fic format i have been wanting to do it for ages. and here we are. as always-tell me how you feeeeeeeel
âI wanna stay home,â your daughter whined from her place at the kitchen table. She periodically reached to her sisterâs high chair so that she could steal blueberries from her plate.
You hummed, pouring the egg mixture into the preheated skillet, âWe played hooky yesterday, bub. Weâve gotta go back to school today.â Using a silicone spatula, you started to scramble the eggs.
She grumbled unintelligibly, dramatically sliding down the chair, âLivvy gets to stay home.â
Turning down the heat on the stove, you went around the counter and crouched in front of your five-year-old, âWell, Livvyâs two, and before you ask, Finnâs not going to school either.â
âFinnâs a baby, mom. He canât go to school,â she told you proudly.
You frowned at your daughter, âItâs hard to be the oldest, honey. We canât keep staying home.â Ruffling her hair affectionately, you get up from the floor and go back to the stove, you continue scrambling the eggs.
To your eldest, going back to kindergarten was a fate worse than death. It wasnât strictly that she didnât want to go to school, it was that she didnât want to leave home. The sniffle from the table lets you know that this morning was going to be harder than you initially anticipated. âI wanna stay with daddy,â she cried, kicking her legs at the table.
Turning off the heat, you set the pan on a trivet before going back to the table, âI know,â you responded. Every time you thought you had run out of tears, new ones managed to find their way out.
Of your three kids, Eleanor was old enough to really feel Spencerâs absence. To your dismay, she ended up bearing some of the burden of her father being gone for three months. After staying with your parents for a few days, she was finally reunited with her dad yesterday morning, and they had been nearly inseparable since.
âOh, Nell,â you sighed, cupping her cheeks in your hands, âI donât know if daddy has plans today. He has a lot of stuff that needs to be done.
Pulling away from your touch, she frantically wiped the tears from her eyes, âI can do stuff too,â she whimpered.
She unwound your resolve like a ball of yarn, âI know you can, honey. I justâŠâ you faltered. You had let her miss so much school over the last three months that the school had sent letters home, âWeâll just have to see.â
You sighed helplessly, standing back up and smiling softly at Olivia, who had successfully gotten blueberry juice everywhere. Returning to the kitchen, you put some scrambled eggs on Eleanorâs plate and put more in a bowl for Olivia, setting it aside to cool more before you give it to your toddler.
Putting the pan in the sink, you flipped on the tap before starting to clean it. While you kept a watchful eye on the baby monitor, you didnât notice Spencer come downstairs and walk into the kitchen. In fact, you were completely unaware of his presence until he spoke, âCan I help with anything?â
You lost your grip on the pan, sending soapy water flying all over the kitchen as you frantically tried to catch the handle. Eleanor either didnât notice or didnât care. Olivia thought it was hilarious. âOh,â you breathed as Spencer reached over and turned off the water, âYou scared me.â
The two of you shared a timid glance, his hand ghosting over your waist as he walked past you to where the girls were sitting.
Biting the dead skin off of your lips, you finished rinsing the pan before setting it on a drying mat. You were wiping down the countertop when Finn finally woke up, and you dropped everything to go get him from his crib, almost like you were running on autopilot.
Unzip the sleep sack. Change the diaper. Get dressed. Cuddle him. Every morning. In that order.
Resting the groggy baby on your hip, you made your way back downstairs and into the kitchen, starting the bottle warmer and listening to the conversation between Spencer and Nellie.
âWhat if you go to school today, but on Friday we can both take the day off? We could go out for lunch,â he offered, crouching down so he was at her level.
She looked pointedly over at Olivia, who was happily eating the eggs that you assumed Spencer had given her, now thoroughly doused in ketchup, âJust us?â
Spencer nodded reassuringly, âIf itâs okay with mommy, we can have a daddy and Nellie day.â He reached out tentatively and tucked some of her hair behind her ear, everything about him seemed so timid.
You looped around the kitchen table, ruffling Oliviaâs hair before doing the same to Eleanorâs and even Spencerâs, which made Olivia giggle.
âCan I?â Spencer asked, nodding his head to the bottle that you had just grabbed from the warmer.
Blinking absently for a moment, you eventually nodded, handing Finn over to his dad along with the bottle, watching as Spencer cradled him, walking him around the kitchen while his bottle was clamped between his tiny hands. âHey, girls, time to get dressed,â you said, forcing yourself to peel your eyes off of your husband.
Eleanor groaned but got up anyway, trudging up the steps while you followed with Olivia in your arms, feeling like you were missing something without Finn also in tow.
Nell made her way back down first, sitting on the couch and watching her dad, keeping an eye on him like she was afraid he was going to disappear before her very eyes. âDaddy?â She whispered, her voice barely audible from your place at the top of the stairs.
âYeah?â He asked, you heard the sound of him setting the bottle in the sink.
Sheâs quiet for a moment before responding, âI missed you.â
Spencerâs footsteps stopped abruptly, âI missed you too, lovebug.â
You started to make your way down the stairs, letting Olivia go down on her own now that she wasnât covered in blueberry. Eleanor looked at you with big eyes before helping her sister climb up on the couch. âFinny, Finny, Finny,â Olivia echoed.
Zipping up Eleanorâs school lunch in her bag, you sighed, hoping you were doing the right thing by sending her to school. âHey, Nell,â you said, checking a new message on your phone, âMrs. Jareau is here.â
JJâs carpools had saved you multiple times while Spencer was in prison, you were just grateful she was willing to continue them.
Normally, sheâd run out the door at the prospect of being able to talk to Henry, but this time she lingered by the front door, holding her backpack straps in her hands and staring at her dad, âWill you be here when I get home?â
He looked at you, a thousand emotions flashing in his brown eyes, and he squatted in front of her, âIâll be here,â he said, holding out his pinky finger to interlock with her much smaller one. âI promise,â he said, kissing her forehead before standing up.
Once you knew she was off to school, you made sure Olivia was settled in on the couch and Finn was in his bouncer before going back to the kitchen to finish cleaning up. You were placing dishes in the dishwasher when Spencer came back.
âIâm sorry,â he said, leaning against the countertop and handing you a bowl to put on the top rack.
Taking the bowl, you didnât look at him as you placed it in the dishwasher before putting a tablet in and pressing the start button, âI wish youâd stop apologizing.â
He stepped slightly closer to you, âI know. Itâs just⊠watching you handle all three of them in the morning. Itâs incredible,â he praised you. âI left you alone,â he said mournfully.
You shrugged, having never really thought of it that way, âYou didnât leave me alone. I had them,â you said, nodding in the direction of the living room, where Finn and Olivia were having a conversation that only the two of them could understand.
You sighed in relief as the shower water washed over you, an early afternoon shower just before Eleanor got home from school, the little ones were down for their naps, and you had to race against time before one of them woke up. It didnât give you a lot of time to just sit under the running water, but youâd have enough time to wash your hair before you needed to pause the shower.
You had narrowly avoided disaster this morning when the girlsâ breakfasts had been mixed up. Thankfully, you navigated a toddler meltdown that was triggered by the appearance of ham in her eggs. Poor Spencer was still confused even after you explained to him that she wouldnât eat ham because itâs pink and pink is her favorite color.
It wasnât something that made a lot of sense to you either, but the only person that it needed to make sense to was your two-year-old.
Rinsing your hair, you remembered how happy Spencer had been when he got Finn down last night. Heâd spent the day talking about how babies donât start to really recognize faces until theyâre around four months old, and that was about how old he was when Spencer left.
Finn knew his dad. Heâd even started reaching out for him when he wanted to be held but feeling comfortable enough to be put down for the night by himâit felt like a milestone.
The crying started right after you finished rinsing your hair, you quickly shut off the water and grabbed your towel off of the hook. Wrapping it around yourself, you dried off your feet before opening the bathroom. Sometimes when Finn cried while you were in the shower, youâd just bring him in with you to finish, but when you opened the door, his tears were already waning.
Spencer had gotten to him first, scooping him out of the crib in your room and holding him to his chest, âHey, buddy,â he cooed softly, âWhatâs wrong?â
The baby chattered in response, gripping the cotton of Spencerâs t-shirt in his tiny fists and wiping his tears away.
âYouâre alright,â Spencer whispered, placing him on your bed to undo his sleep sack, smiling at his son when he kicked his legs once freed. âYou just wanted to be held, huh? Your sister was the same way when she was a baby,â he said.
Nell. He was remembering Nell as a baby, who slept best when she was being held and would cry if you were out of her line of sight.
Spencer turned around, stopping in his tracks when he saw you in the doorway, âDid you finish?â
Youâd been caught, âOh. Could you get a new soap from the hall closet? Weâre out,â you fibbed, mindful of the way your hair was still dripping wet.
He frowned, âI just put a new one in this morning. Did you look on the caddy?â
Blinking, you shook your head, âNo, my bad.â
You had already started closing the door when he called for you, âHoney?â
Pausing, you peeked out the door to look at him, âYeah?â
âIâm here,â he told you, something urgent in his tone.
Your face warmed, the reminder of his presence making your heart race, âIââ you faltered, âI know.â
You had managed to get Nell out the door without a fight this morning with the promise of her father-daughter date tomorrow. Olivia was settled with her toys in your line of sight and Finn was in a sling. The baby hadnât slept well last night, and you were fairly certain that he had a new tooth poking through. He seemed fine now, catching up on sleep while you wiped down the kitchen.
Spencer was across from you, filling out some required papers for his reinstatement hearing. He hadnât fully committed to seeking reinstatement until you brought it up. Frankly, you were horrified by the fact that Spencer was under the impression that you would ask him to leave the BAU for any reason.
âWhat do you have planned today?â Spencer asked you, still focusing on the papers while making gentle conversation with you.
You raised your eyebrows briefly, âReally awesome exciting stuff.â You took a sip of your coffee before adjusting Finnâs sling. Very slowly, you were beginning to find a new routine with Spencer and the kids in the morning. Spencer was learning about everything that had changed, and you were learning how to give him more responsibilities around the house.
You needed to let go of the notion that you were still alone. Spencer hummed in response, laughing at your blatant oversell, âLike what?â
Smiling, you dried your hands on a tea towel before standing next to him, distracting him from his paperwork with the cuteness of a sleeping baby. âThere is so much dirty laundry in this house,â you told him, âIâm surprised anyone has any clean clothes.â
âAnything else?â Spencer asked, placing one hand gently on your hip and pressing a tentative kiss to your lips.
You hesitated, âUh, cooking?â
He looked at you curiously, âCooking for what?â
Chewing on the inside of your lip, you looked over at Olivia, making sure she was preoccupied before answering, âMonica and the kids.â
Realization dawned over Spencerâs face, âOh,â he breathed. It didnât surprise you that Spencer had conflicting feelings about Stephenâs death, given that he hadnât known him that well prior to his arrest, but he and his family had grown close to you in your husbandâs absence.
You nodded, âThereâs a meal train thing going on for them, so I was going to make some stuff and drop it there later.â Tentatively, you smoothed Spencerâs hair back, needing something to do with your hands, âMaya used to babysit a lot when I needed extra hands. I just want to feel like Iâm returning the favor.â
âCan I come with you?â Spencer asked, tilting his head back to look up at you.
Smiling softly at him, you answered, âOf course.â You sniffled, âIf we time it right, we could pick Nell up from school at the end of the day.â
He squeezed your hip comfortingly, âI love you.â
You leaned down and kissed him again, âI love you too.â
The chattering woke you up, Finn in his crib talking to himself as you glared at the alarm clock. It was just past three in the morning, and the second thing you noticed was that you were alone in your bed.
You sat up in a panic, worried you had dreamt the past few weeks until your eyes found Spencerâs watch sitting on his nightstand. Rubbing your eyes, you dragged yourself out of bed before getting Finn from his crib, taking his sleep sack off to make him easier to hold, âHey,â you whispered, âLetâs go find daddy.â
It didnât take you long, Spencer was sitting on the floor in the hallway, his knees bent to his chest as he looked into Nellâs room, her space nightlight providing a soft glow into the hallway.
âIf you move to the left about a foot, you can see both of them at the same time,â you informed him.
He listened, shifting over so that he could see Eleanor and Olivia at the same time, both of them sleeping peacefully in their beds. Spencer looked up at you, âWhy do you know that?â
You slid down the wall, taking a seat next to him and settling Finn lengthwise along your thighs, âAt the beginning of March, Nell brought home a virus from school and gave it to Liv, and then one of them gave it to Finn. So, Iâd sit out here in the hallway and watch the girls with Finny in my lap,â you told him, leaning your head on his shoulder. âJust so Iâd be nearby if any of them needed anything,â you kept your voice at a whisper, rocking your legs in hopes that it would soothe Finn back to sleep.
Spencer didnât respond for a moment, thinking through what you had said before finally speaking up, âNo one told me theyâd been sick.â
Humming, you smoothed the babyâs hair back, keeping it out of his face, âI didnât tell anyone.â To this day, no one else knew that you had juggled three sick kids at once, âI lied to JJ and told her that I was keeping Nell home for a few days, and she didnât push for more information.â No one had pushed you for anything in the past three months.
âWhy didnât you ask for help?â Spencer asked, leaning his head on yours and resting a hand on your knee.
You didnât want to, quite honestly. You hadnât wanted to have to call your mom or anyone from the BAU when you needed help because it felt like an admission of sorts. Admitting that Spencer was gone long-term and that you were a solo parent. âI donât know,â you lied, âI felt like I had something to prove to the world.â
Spencer swallowed thickly next to you, âDid it work?â
Shaking your head, you sighed a breath of relief at his presence, âNo.â
He was quiet for a while, likely wallowing in a pit of guilt that he had been constructing for weeks, âWe should get him back to bed.â
âSpence?â You whispered, closing your eyes and listening to the sounds of your quiet house, âCan we just stay like this for a little while?â
Humming a confirmation, Spencer placed a gentle kiss on the crown of your head, leaving his hand resting on your knee while the two of you remained in the hallway, enjoying each otherâs company.
âWe shouldâve done cupcakes,â you said mournfully, turning on the oven light to see that there was something very off about the cake youâd put in the oven.
Spencer hummed, looking at the recipe again to see if there was something you had missed, âWhy didnât we do cupcakes?â
You huffed, âThe Pinterest photo I found was of a cake.â It was a perfect cake, complete with a purple graduation cap made out of fondant that you could put on the top. The only problem was you had severely overestimated your baking abilities.
âSo,â Spencer started, âItâs your fault.â
Scoffing, you tapped his chest with a silicone spatula, âItâs the fault of whoever posted the original photo!â
Spencer smiled at you, a dopey look in his eyes despite it being one in the morning. âWe shouldâve asked Penelope to do the cake,â he told you, flipping over the recipe you had printed out.
âWe can make a cake,â you retorted, you were throwing a very small party for Nellâs last day of kindergartenâthe first time youâve invited a group over since Spencer was arrested. âYou have three PhDs and you donât think you can bake a cake?â
He raised his eyebrows at you, âThis might come as a surprise to you, but none of my coursework ever involved baking.â
You grinned at him, âThat does surprise me, itâs basically chemistry,â you challenged.
Spencer rolled his eyes, âOkay, come here,â he said, pulling you into his arms by the fabric of your t-shirt.
Realization fell over you as you scrambled to get away, âNo! Youâre gonna put frosting on my nose again.â It would be his second offense of the evening.
He followed you into the living room where you tripped over a toy truck, causing you to fall to the ground. When he offered a hand to help you up, you tugged him to the floor, causing one of the balloons that you had previously blown up to pop.
You covered your mouth to muffle your giggles, waiting to see if the noise had woken any of the kids up.
The kids were all so happy to have Spencer back, but your stomach twisted at the realization that this was the first night youâd really felt like you had Spencer back. You loved the kids, but you havenât had a moment without them since February.
âHey,â you said to Spencer, rolling over and flinging a balloon at him for good measure.
Carefully, you rested your chin on his chest, staring at him while he tried to calm his own laughter, âHi,â he said back, ruffling your hair affectionately.
You took a deep breath before speaking up again, âI missed you.â
You hadnât said it yet. Youâd developed some misconstrued fear of making him feel guilty if youâd told him just how much you missed him, but it was the truth. You missed him. He smiled softly down at you, almost as if he had been waiting for you to say the words. âI missed you too,â he whispered.
Slowly, you lifted yourself up and pressed your lips to his, kissing him. It was more than any of the quick pecks youâd shared in the last few weeks, it was real. His hands dug into your waist as if he was afraid you were going to disappear, but you stayed there. You stayed with him, and you always would.
Up until the timer for the cake went off, your phone buzzing in your pocket when you finally pulled away. Breathing heavily, Spencer asked, âIs it too late to ask Penelope to do the cake?â

Help My Family Escape the War in Gaza: A Cry for Safety and Survival
Dear Friends and Supporters,
I write to you with a heart heavy with pain and urgency. My name is Mohammad Jamal Shamia, and I reside in Sweden. I am raising funds to help my family and loved ones, who are trapped in Gaza, escape the unimaginable horrors of war. Their lives have been turned upside down, and now they stand on the brink of despair, with no place to call home and no future in sight. We are fighting for their survival.
A Family Torn Apart by War
My family consists of eight members: my father, my mother, my four sisters, and my two brothers. Each one of them has a story of pain and loss, but I will start with my father, Jamal Shamia, who is still in Gaza. His home was destroyed in the very first days of the war. A single rocket shattered not just his home, but also our hopes and dreams. The life he had worked so hard to build was reduced to rubble in a heartbeat. He now stands without a roof over his head, in a place where there is no security, no peace, and no hope for the future.
My mother, who left Gaza for surgery in Egypt before the war started, is now stranded on the Egyptian side, unable to return and without any support. She worries every day about my father, her children, and grandchildren who remain in Gaza, not knowing if they will survive another day.
Sisters in Crisis: Homes Lost, Lives Disrupted
My sister Rasha Jamal Shamia and her husband, Khalil Abu Samaan, have two children, Mira and Omar. They have been forced to flee their home in Gaza City and are now living in a tent in Rafah, far from everything they once knew. Their home, their childrenâs education, and their futureâeverything is gone. Their days are filled with fear, and their nights bring no rest. The constant sound of bombs haunts them, and they have no way to provide their children with the life they deserve.
My sister Rana Jamal Shamia and her husband, Mohammed Salama, are in a similarly desperate situation. Their two children, Amir and Taim, witnessed the destruction of their home firsthand. The bomb that took away their shelter also left Rana and her family with deep physical and emotional scars. They are now displaced in Rafah, struggling every day to survive. The trauma they have endured is unimaginable.
My sister Maram Jamal Shamia and her husband, Mareed Al-Suwirki, were able to leave Gaza with their children, but they carry with them the scars of war. Their home in Gaza was destroyed, and they lost everything. Mareed, a dentist, lost his job, and they are now trying to rebuild their lives outside the war zone, but they need your help.
My youngest sister, Reem, has been living outside Gaza for some time, but she hasnât been able to reunite with the family. The pain of separation and worry for her loved ones has been unbearable.
A Brotherâs Dreams Shattered
My brother Ahmad Jamal Shamia is a bright, ambitious student who was in his third year of dental school at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. The war took everything from himâhis education, his home, his dreams. Ahmad was ranked first in his class, always striving to be the best and help others. Now, he is left with nothing. He moves from one temporary shelter to another, hoping for a chance to continue his studies in Egypt. But without financial support, this dream too will be lost.
The Desperate Situation
The situation in Gaza is beyond dire. Every day, my family faces unimaginable hardships. They live in constant fear, with bombings happening around them day and night. They are without basic necessitiesâno reliable access to food, water, or medical care. The trauma of living through this horror has left deep emotional wounds that will take years to heal, if ever.
We are desperate to get them out. We want to transport them to Egypt, where they can begin to rebuild their lives and find safety. But this escape comes at a high cost. It will take $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child to cross the border and start anew in Egypt. My family is counting on this fundraising effort to save their lives.
How You Can Help
Your support can make a life-saving difference. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to rescuing my family from this nightmare. With your help, we can reunite them with safety and security on the other side of the border. Time is running out, and the risks increase with every passing day.
Please consider donating to our campaign. Your generosity will not only provide my family with the means to escape the immediate danger but also offer them hope for a future where they can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. I cannot thank you enough for your support.
Together, We Can Save Lives
My family is relying on the kindness of strangers and friends alike to help them escape the ongoing violence. Your donation is not just financial assistanceâit is a lifeline, a chance at survival. We need you now more than ever. Please, stand with us and help bring my family to safety.
Thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and your support. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can save lives.

The Way That You Were
Pairing: fratboy!Peter Parker x reader
Synopsis: you and Peter reunite at a college party and discover he is no longer the sweet nerd you knew in high school
Masterlist
âIâm gonna pee.â
âDo you want me to come with you?â Your friend asked you over the sound of the music of the party.
âIâll be fine. But hold my drink, please.â You kindly requested and handed her your red solo cup.
âHave fun.â She called after you as you left for the bathroom. You adjusted your dress and leaned against the wall as you waited on the bathroom line. You looked around the frat house you were in and decided the walls were not actually something you wanted to lean against.
âGod damn. If your ass blew me away I cannot wait to see your face.â A voice suddenly came from behind you. You scrunched your face in disgust and turned around to see who the voice belonged to. Your eyes met a boy in a backwards hat with curls spilling out of it on either side. But what made you lose your breath was the fact that you recognized the eyes staring back at you. The smug grin on the boys face instantly dropped when he recognized you as well.
âPeter? Peter Parker?â You asked and felt your heart ache just a little. You both slowly processed what he had just said and he turned a bright red.
âY/n?â He asked in disbelief. âWhat are you doing here?â
âMy friend invited me. What were you saying about my face?â You asked and folded your arms.
âNothing. Something stupid.â He said quickly before breaking into a smile. He suddenly stepped forward and wrapped his arms around you in a tight hug. You blinked in surprise and hesitantly patted his back.
âI canât believe youâre here.â He said into your ear.
âNeither can I.â You laughed dryly as you pulled out of the hug. You stepped back and took a moment to take him in. His arms were much bigger than you remembered from back in high school and you had a full view of them in his white cut off tank top. Everything about his outfit was different from his typical style, down to the shoes he was wearing. You wouldâve thought he was wearing a costume if he didnât look so natural.
âGod, look at you.â He sighed as he looked you up and down. A dopey smile remained on his face and he shook his head as if he trying to shake a thought out of his mind.
âMe? Look at you. You look so different. What are you doing at a party like this?â You wondered.
âOh, this is my frat house. We throw parties like this every weekend.â He replied and you laughed. He didnât laugh with you and you realized he wasnât joking.
âYou live here?â You asked as your eyes darted to the poster of a girl in a bikini riding a beer can barely covering a hole in the wall.
âThatâs not mine.â Peter said quickly.
âThe hole or the poster?â
âCan I get you a drink?â He asked to change the subject.
âIâm kinda waiting for something.â You laughed awkwardly and nodded towards the bathroom door.
âAfter? Iâll wait.â He offered. He seemed very eager to talk to you and you couldnât deny that you had been desperate to talk to him ever since you graduated high school.
âOkay.â You agreed. âSure.â
âWait, donât use that bathroom. Itâs probably disgusting. Itâs actually most definitely disgusting. I have a bathroom in my room. Itâs much cleaner. Come on.â He said and nodded towards the stairs.
âOh. Okay.â You looked around at who was watching before following him up the stairs. You stayed close behind him until the two of you reached his bedroom. You would never normally follow a guy up to his bedroom at a party without telling anyone where you were going but you grew up with Peter so you trusted him. You entered his bedroom and you discreetly took a look around. Youâd been to his apartment in high school and were saddened to see his posters of the periodic table and Star Wars were replaced with patched up holes in the wall and a poster of Goodfellas next to a tapestry that said âSaturdays are for boysâ over an American flag.
âIâll guard the door.â Peter told you as he showed you where the bathroom was.
âThank you.â You shot him a smile before going inside. Peterâs bathroom was much more akin to the Peter you once knew. You smiled at the miscellaneous artifacts on his bathroom counter and did what you came to do before leaving.
âHey.â You smiled awkwardly at him when you left the bathroom.
âHey.â He smiled back. âI kinda canât believe you just used my bathroom.â
âI kinda canât believe you have pink hand towels and Darth Vader shampoo.â
âHey, hey, hey. Thatâs not Darth Vader. Itâs the Mandelorian.â He corrected. âAnd theyâre only pink because I washed them with my Chiefs jersey.â
âYou own a jersey?â You raised at eyebrow at him.
âI do now that Taylor Swift said itâs okay to watch football.â
âYou still listen to Taylor?â You smiled in surprise.
âObviously. I was listening to Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus while I pregamed for this party.â
âJesus.â You chuckled. âWho hurt you?â
âI just like the line about wondering.â He laughed as well but didnât meet your eyes.
âSo do I.â You admitted and he finally looked at you. You shared a moment of lingering eye contact accompanied by a comfortable silence. He looked different, and not just because of his outfit. He looked older. His baby face had hardened and he looked more like a man now and not the boy you once knew. But as different as he was, his eyes were the same. So was his laugh. And despite the years that had gone by without you seeing each other, you slipped right back into your friendship.
âCan I make you that drink now?â Peter asked after a beat.
âOkay.â You smiled and he slung his arm around your shoulders.
âStay close to me. The people that come to these parties havenât had all their vaccines.â He whispered in your ear as he led you back downstairs.
âI will.â You laughed and felt relieved his sense of humor was still in tact. A few people from Peterâs school turned to look at the two of you as you made your way to the kitchen but Peter didnât seem to notice.
âThis is the kitchen. All the healthy cereals are mine.â Peter said proudly and pointed to a box of Mini Wheats on top of the refrigerator.
âBy healthy do you mean the frosted strawberry Mini Wheats?â
âThose really hit after a nightmare.â He insisted. âPlus, strawberry is a fruit and wheat is good for you. God, what do they teach girls in school?â
âNot the important stuff, apparently.â You laughed and he smiled as he caught your eyes. He pulled out a fresh red solo cup and got some ice.
âDo you still like Shirley temples?â He asked you.
âYeah. You remember that?â
âOf course I do. I remember making makeshift ones out of sprite and strawberry syrup at Nedâs Halloween party Junior year because you told me they were your favorite.â
âThose were not bad.â You recalled. âOr maybe they just tasted better because I was 17 and drunk for the first time.â
âThat was my first time drinking too. White Claw does not taste as good on the way out as it does the way in.â Peter grimaced and grabbed a beer from the ice bucket on the counter. You watched him crack it open with ease and felt an ache of nostalgia for those few nights of getting drunk as teenagers off alcohol from 7/11 that someoneâs older brother bought.
âBut I see youâve outgrown White Claw.â
âYeah. My friends and I pretty much only drink beer.â Peter nodded and took a swig of it.
âDonât you worry about getting aâŠâ You trailed off when Peter lifted his shirt to wipe his mouth with, giving you a full view of his abdomen. Peterâs sweaters and nerdy t shirts never let on that he was carved by the gods underneath his clothing.
âBeer gut.â You barely got the words out and blinked a few times to get back into reality.
âI seriously canât believe youâre here. I always wondered what happened to you after high school.â Peter admitted as he made your drink for you.
âI know. I dropped my phone on the subway tracks a few years back and got a new number. But I always wondered about you too.â You told him.
âYou did?â He smiled in relief.
âOf course I did. I tried to find you on social media but I couldnât find anything.
âYeah. I never really got the hang of it. I did try to find you in a phone book once. But the librarian called me a nerd and told me to go back to the 90s.â Peter replied, making you laugh.
âWell that wasnât very nice of them.â You said.
âNo it was not. So I am very pleased that I find you in my house tonight. Thatâs why I made you the most delicious Shirley Temple in the world.â Peter said and proudly held out the red solo cup.
âOh, my. Thank you.â You giggled and accepted the cup from him. You took a sip and felt your eyes water.
âJesus Christ. Is there any Sprite in here or just vodka?â You said through a cough.
âSorry. That was out of habit. My boys and I are heavy pourers.â Peter sound genuinely apologized and added more Sprite to your cup to make it less strong.
âItâs all right.â You shrugged. âSo I have to ask you, how come youâre no longer at MIT?â
Peter looked a little frightened when you mentioned MIT and quickly looked over his shoulder. He stepped closer to you and looked around again.
âI wasnât happy there so I transferred last semester.â He said in a quiet voice.
âWhy are we whispering?â You whispered back through a light laugh.
âPeople here donât really know that I was like that.â He admitted and looked a little disappointed to even be saying it.
âLike what? Smart?â You asked at full volume. He looked around again and waved his hand in dismissal.
âIâm still smart. I just donât let my boys know that.â He told you, making you raise your eyebrows in surprise.
âYour boys?â You laughed dryly.
âYou know. My frat brothers.â He explained and gestured to the party.
âRight, right. I think I met a few tonight when I walked in on their farting contest and they asked me to join. Do you still talk to Ned?â
âOh, no.â Peter shook his head. âWe kept in touch for a while after high school but we kinda fell off somewhere after I transferred here.â
âWow, really? You guys were so close. I thought youâd be friends forever.â
âYeah. I guess I did too.â Peter realized and stared down the barrel of his beer bottle.
âAre you still studying biochemistry?â You asked him. âIt was biochemistry, right?â
âIt was. But now Iâm undeclared. Iâm not really sure what I want to do anymore.â
âReally? But youâre so smart. You were the smartest guy I ever met. You still are.â
âIâm not that smart.â He laughed and shyly rubbed the back of his neck.
âYes you are.â You insisted. âYou always knew the answer to every question before I even processed what was being asked.â
âYouâre smart too. In an original way that I still think about.â He replied, catching you by surprise. You took a sip to your cup for a little bravery and looked into his eyes.
âYou still think about me?â You asked him with a coy smile.
âI do. All the time.â He answered without breaking eye contact. You sucked in a sharp breath and he smirked before moving same hair off your forehead. His hand stayed on your face and you felt your heart rate start to pick up. It wasnât that you didnât want to kiss him, it was that you had always wanted to kiss him. Now that he was standing in front of you and it might actually happen, you felt too nervous.
âWhere are your glasses?â You blurted and ruined the moment. Before Peter could respond, me of his frat brothers walked in and clapped Peterâs on the back.
âGlasses? Whatâs this bird talking about, Parker?â He asked as he slung an arm around Peter and roughed him up a little.
âShut up, Flash. Sheâs not a bird. Sheâs my friend from high school.â Peter defended you angrily and pushed the boy off.
âOh shit. This isnât the chick you were in love with, is it?â Flash gasped and looked at you.
âWho were you in love with?â You immediately asked Peter and felt a little jealous bubble up inside you.
âNo, dumb ass. That was a different girl. This is Y/n. Donât call her a chick either. Thats just another kind of bird.â Peter grumbled. Flash gave you an unapologetic once over before smirking.
âNice to meet you, sweetie. Iâm Flash. I hope youâre enjoying the party. But I do have to ask that you keep it down later because my room is right next to his and I have an 8 am class tomorrow.â
âDonât, man.â Peter warned.
âKeep what down?â You wondered.
âWell, you know. Parker has girls in there so often I had to start charging them rent. Especially because they drink all the orange juice in the morning. And they tend to keep me up all night due to all the bed squeaking, so I ask that youâre considerate of the class I have tomorrow.â Flash said to you. You gulped and looked to Peter for an explanation, but Peter was busy glaring at Flash.
âShut the fuck up, okay? Like you even go to class.â Peter scoffed. âGet out of here. Go drink some water. And take a bath. You stink.â
âAll right. Just go easy on her, okay Parker? She seems like a nice girl. She deserves to be able to walk out of here in the morning.â Flash clapped him on the back again and you let out a shocked laugh.
âFuck off. Now.â Peter demanded. Flash held up his hands and shot you a wink before walking away. You looked to Peter for an explanation for what just occurred. You have never heard him swear before and definitely never heard him get angry with someone like that. You also couldnât help but wonder if there was any truth to what Flash had said about all the girls Peter slept with. You knew it shouldnât bother you, but the Peter you knew had never even had his first kiss. Something about the guy youâd always pined after going from never being kissed to a guy with a long line of girls leaving his bedroom made your tummy hurt.
âIâm sorry about him. Heâs such a dick sometimes.â Peter apologized to you.
âYeah. I picked up on that.â You laughed nervously.
âWhyâd donât we get out of here? Itâs too loud.â Peterâs said and gestured to the rest of the part. You sucked in a sharp breath and thought back to what Flash had just said. As much as youâd wondered about Peter, you were not ready to âget out of hereâ with him.
âI should probably get back to my friend.â You answered. Peter smiled politely and nodded in understanding but felt disappointed that your time together was ending.
âIâll help you find her.â He offered and you agreed. You brought him to where you last saw her and found her making out with someone on the couch.
âOh!â You said in surprise but your friend didnât come up for sit.
âI think sheâs okay for now.â Peter joked.
âI guess she is.â You agreed.
âDo you want to take a walk?â He asked and you felt relieved that he wasnât asking to go back upstairs.
âSure. I could use some air.â You agreed and followed him outside. The two of you walked down the sidewalk together and Peter stayed on the side facing the street to keep you from stumbling into it on accident. It felt easy to talk to him despite the years of being apart from each other and the longer you talked, the more you realized he hadnât changed all that much. Sure, he swore a lot more now and made some dumb jokes, but his character was the same.
âAre you cold?â He asked you at one point.
âNo. Iâm okay. The fresh air feels good.â
âGood. Because I donât have a jacket to offer you. But I would give you my jacket if I had one.â
âI appreciate that.â You laughed and looked over at him.
âSo how long are you visiting your friend for?â He asked you.
âI go back to school on Tuesday.â
âSo soon?â He stopped walking and frowned.
âYeah. Iâm just here for the long weekend.â
âOh, shit, really? I was hoping weâd have more time together. Iâd really love to see you again. Maybe we can get dinner tomorrow or something.â
âI donât know.â You laughed nervously and folded your arms out of self consciousness.
âWhy not?â He asked, sounding a little hurt.
âIt was really good to see you again tonight. But I donât think we have anything in common anymore, Pete.â You admitted without looking at him.
âWhat do you mean?â
âI donât know. Look at us. Itâs been a long time since weâve seen each other. I donât know if weâd get along anymore. Not like we did in high school, anyway.â
âJust because itâs been a long time doesnât mean we wonât get along. We have history together. Iâm still the guy you competed with in the decathlon.â He insisted. You looked up at him and stared at him under the light of the streetlight. He sounded like the guy you once knew, but he looked and acted so different now.
âAre you?â You asked quietly. Peter blinked a few times and smiled sadly.
âYou donât think so?â
âDonât get me wrong, you look great and you seem happy with where you are now.â
âBut?â He asked, sensing there was more. You smiled sympathetically because there was in fact more and it wasnât exactly nice.
âI donât know. I guess Iâm just a little surprised to see you tonight. I always wondered about you and assumed you were halfway to becoming a scientist or Nobel prize winner by now. I never expected all this.â
âAll what?â He asked, sounding a little annoyed now.
âYou know. Frat boy. Undeclared. Chugging beer. Long line of girls coming out of your roomâŠâ You trailed off and looked down at the ground again.
âFlash was joking about that. The only time Iâve had a girl in my room was when we had to get a maid after the New Yearâs party because there was an unidentified goo on the floors. Iâm still me.â He insisted and stepped closer to you. You still didnât look up at him because you didnât want to say what you were about to say.
âYou commented on my ass.â You said quietly. You didnât see it, but Peterâs face dropped. He had felt annoyed that you were judging him until he remembered his opening line to you tonight was about your body. He felt guilty for reducing a girl he knew so well to an object for him to comment on.
âIâm sorry about that. I really am.â He apologized. âIâm way drunk right now and not using my head.
âThe guy I knew in high school was not the kind of guy who says things like that to girls.â You said and finally looked into his eyes. To your surprise, he looked genuinely apologetic.
âI know. Iâm not like those guys. I swear, I never normally say things like that. Iâm drunk and a fucking idiot. Iâve made a total ass of myself all night. What can I do?â
âPeter, itâs fine. Iâm not here to judge you. And you donât owe me anything. Iâm being stupid anyway. Iâm not the same person I was in high school so I donât know why I expected you to be. Thats not fair to you. I guess Iâm just little drunk and upset I never got to see my Peter again.â
âYour Peter?â Peter asked with a sad smile.
âCome on, Peter. I was crazy about you back then. The whole school knew. By senior year, everyone had figured it out but you. And I always regretted not telling you. So Iâd fantasize about all the cool things you were doing in college. This just isnât what thought it would be like when we found each other again.â
âFor me either.â He admitted as he stared at you starry eyed.
âNo?â
âI liked you too. You were the girl Flash was talking about. I was in love with you in high school.â He confessed. You knew you should be happy to hear that but all you could think of was the wasted potential of a relationship that never got to happen.
âYou never told me.â You said softly.
âHow could I?â He laughed. âYou were so beautiful I could barely get an intelligent word out when you were around. You still are. And I still canât.â
âI wish I knew. Now Iâm always gonna wonder what would have happened if I had just told you how I felt.â You smiled sadly.
âSo will I.â He said as his eyes filled with sadness. You stared at each other for a moment with the quiet understanding that at one point you wanted the same thing at the same time.
âMaybe we donât have to wonder.â Peter said after a beat.
âWhat do you mean?â You asked him. Peter stepped closer suddenly and tilted your chin up with his pinky.
âPlease.â He pleaded. âJust give me one night. Iâll take you to dinner and prove Iâm still me.â
âAnd suppose you do.â You shrugged. âIâm only here for the weekend. What does it matter anyway?â
âIt matters to me. Because Iâve always wanted you. Even if I just get one night.â
âPeter, Iâm not trying to be one of your girls.â You shook your head and stepped away from him.
âI told you. There are no girls. You are the only girl who has ever taken my breath away. I never stopped thinking about you after high school. Just give me one chance.â He asked and pulled you back into his arms. You stared into his eyes for a moment and found yourself unable to say no.
âPlease.â He whispered and sounded irresistibly desperate. You could see his gaze dropping to your lips and felt your heartbeat pick up again. But this time, you didnât feel nervous.
âI shouldnât.â You said quietly.
âBut donât you want to stop wondering and know for certain?â He asked, and you nodded. Your eyes fluttered shut and just as you were expecting his lips to meet yours, he cupped your face and kissed your cheek.
âIâm not going to kiss you tonight. Because Iâm drunk. And youâre not.â He said when you looked at him in confusion. You were disappointed to not be kissed but smiled knowing he made the responsible decision.
âOh. Yeah. Good call.â You cleared your throat and stepped out of his embrace.
âBut I will be on my best behavior tomorrow for our date.â He assured you.
âI never actually agreed to a date.â You smiled coyly. Peter grinned and pulled you back into his arms and let his hands rest on your hips.
âYou agreed when you closed your eyes to kiss me.â He said with his face close to yours. You gulped again but never broke eye contact with him.
âYouâre kinda an asshole now.â You teased him.
âYeah, but in a good way.â He shrugged, making you laugh.
âWeâll see.â You said pointedly. Peter pulled put his phone and handed it to you.
âWe will see.â He insisted. âHere. Put your new number in. And donât drop it on the subway this time.â
âI wonât.â You playfully rolled your eyes and typed your number into his phone. When you handed it to him, your hands touched as he took it back.
âYou better not.â He said and slipped his fingers into yours as he pocketed his phone. You stared into his big brown eyes and felt like you were right back in high school.
âYou could kiss me, if you wanted to. I had a drink too.â You said in a soft voice.
âI do want to. But Iâll save it for when my lips donât taste like cheap beer.â He said with a smirk. He leaned in and kissed your cheek one more time before walking you back to the house. You stepped inside the frat house and just as your friend was heading to the door.
âHey. The guy I was making out with tried to explain the stock market to me and laughed when I said Iâm an economics major. Iâm over this party. Are you ready to head out?â She asked you as she slung her purse over her shoulder.
âOh, yeah. We can go.â You replied and felt disappointed to leave Peter so soon.
âIâll see you tomorrow.â He leaned down and whispered in your ear, sending shivers down your spine.
âGoodnight.â You said as you turned around to see him.
âGoodnight.â He replied and cupped your chin one more time.
Ten minutes after Peter said he would pick you up, he still wasnât there. You checked your phone for the hundredth time as saw the minutes adding up. You should have known it was all too good to be true and he wasnât the exception he claimed to be. He joined a frat and they poisoned the once sweet boy you knew. Just as you were about to go inside, Peter sped down your block and rolled down the window.
âIâm late. Iâm sorry.â Peter called out the open window. Since he didnât even bother to get out of the car, you got off the front steps you were sitting on and bent down to look at him through the window.
âI was starting to think you werenât coming.â You said and didnât try to hide your annoyance.
âIâm sorry.â He said and pouted. âGod damn. You look hot.â
You opened your mouth to scold him for objectifying you once again but he wasnât done yet.
âIâm so sorry I was late. I bet you spent a long time getting ready dry. And Iâm sure youâve been waiting for a long time. I remember you saying you get ready with time to spare and sit by the door until the person picking you up gets there so they donât have to wait outside for long. And Iâm an asshole and came late.â
You had planned to walk away and go back inside to punish him for being late, but you just couldnât. Him remembering that little detail about you combined with the way he looked in his jersey made you want to stay.
âWell maybe Iâve changed.â You said pointedly as you climbed into his car.
âYou have. High school you didnât wear rings or have sexy red nails. But I figured some things would stay the same. Hello.â He greeted and leaned in to kiss your cheek. You felt your face burning and turned away so he wouldnât see your smile.
âI thought some things would stay the same too. Yet I met you last night with a backwards cap on. The Peter I knew wouldnât never be caught dead in a hat. Let alone one representing a sports team.â You teased him.
âItâs not actually a sports team. Look.â Peter took his eyes off the road to reach into his backseat and get his hat. He handed it to you and your eyes widened.
âOh my God.â You said as you turned over your old black hat you got at the Gap freshman year.
âYou let me borrow that at the senior skip day at the beach because I forgot sunblock.â Peter recalled. âAnd when I tried to give it back to you, you said I could keep it since it looked better on me.â
âIt did.â You smiled fondly at the memory.
âI wear it all the time now because I donât know how to do my curly hair now that itâs longer.â
âI like it longer.â You told him. âBut I also liked your short gelled look. With your cute little button downs and sweaters.â
âYeah. I outgrew those.â He chuckled. âI started working out more and they looked silly on me once I got bigger. Then Flash showed me how to cut my shirts to show off my arms.â
âYeah. I canât imagine those arms in a little sweater.â You agreed.
âWhat about my arms?â He looked over at you with a smirk.
âNothing.â You said coyly. âWhere are we going, anyway?â
âItâs a surprise. But Iâll give you a hint. You wrote about it in your letter to your college self.â
âWhat?â You laughed in surprise. âDo you have a photographic memory of something? I donât remember anything I wrote in that.â
âI told you. I was in love with you.â He said and looked over at you. You locked eyes and smiled until a car hocked at him for drifting into their lane.
âHow come youâre so comfortable saying it now yet I had no idea back in high school?â You wondered. Then Peter got a text and pulled out his phone to read it. You eyed him but didnât say anything as he replied to the text while driving. Youâd never been in a car with him behind the wheel before and it was starting to make you a little nervous.
âI donât know. Youâre different too.â He answered finally. âI can tell from looking at you. So I guess I donât feel like Iâm telling the girl I was in love with how I feel because I donât really know you anymore. It makes it less scary.â
âI didnât think about it like that. Youâre right. I guess we donât know each other anymore.â You said with a sad smile.
âI want to, though. Because you seem like a cooler version of the girl I liked in high school. Who was already cool.â He said and looked over at you again. You smiled at his compliment and stopped worrying about hai driving for a moment.
âI have so many questions for you.â You to him.
âShoot.â
âWhyâd you leave MIT?â
âI donât know. It wasnât what I thought it would be. I realized I was a big fish in a small pond back in high school. Everyone seemed so much smarter and more experienced than I was. I felt so alone all the time. So I drove home one night and never looked back.â
âYeah. I get that. I was always told I was a smart kid growing up and then I just felt so burnt out in college. At least you know you got into MIT and gave it your all.
âThank you for saying that. I like the way you see things. Iâve been missing your perspective in my life.â He told you and you felt your face heat up again.
âHowâd you end up at your new school?â You said to distract him from how flustered he made you.
âThey had offered me a full ride if I joined the academic decathlon team. Which I do in secret. Donât tell my frat please.â He chuckled and looked at you to see if youâd keep his secret. You feigned a smile and internally missed the boy who was a proud captain of the decathlon team.
âHowâd you end up in a frat anyway? That seems so opposite of your personality.â
âIt kinda happened by accident. I was in a group project with Flash and he invited me to a party after I did his half of the work. And it wasnât the worst once I had something to drink so I started going to more parties. And then I started drinking a lot. I made friends with a lot of frat guys that Flash knew I so ended up pledging.â He shrugged. You nodded your head but were less than impressed with his story. You and Peter had shared many conversations about not wanting to be at the parties you were never invited to anyway back in high school and now he was the one throwing them.
âI still canât wrap my head around you being in a frat. I really never imagined youâd be into something like that.â
âHow did you imagine me?â He asked with a coy smile.
âI imagined youâd be student teaching a biochemistry class and have a devoted fan base of nerdy students who hung on your every word like in Dead Poets Society. And youâd have circular glasses and wear ties and cardigans like Spencer Reid.
âWow, Dead Poets Society. I totally forgot about that movie. I havenât seen it in forever.â
âReally? I thought it was your favorite movie?â
âIt used to be. I just watched this movie last week where Seth Rogan and one of the Franco brothers were smoking weed and then they witnessed this murder so they were worried the murder was gonna find them-â Peter started laughing as he remembered the plot but stopped when he noticed you werenât laughing along with him. The plot was far from the science fiction films he used to talk extensively about during lunch in an effort to convince you to watch them. It wasnât much, just another reminder of how different he was from when you knew him.
âIt was stupid. Anyways.â He changed the subject. âWhat have you been up to lately? Howâs school?â
âSchool is good.â You shrugged. âI donât know how Iâll ever work a job once I graduate because now having one class at 12 pm drains me for the remainder of the day, but I enjoy it. I like the freedom.â
âGood, good. Iâm glad youâre enjoying it. I like the freedom too. I can eat macaroni at any hour and no one can tell me otherwise. And your friends are nice?â
âYeah. Iâve found a good group of girls. It was really lonely at first like you said but I eventually found my people. Itâs been a lot better now.â You answered as your eyes watching his thumbs type something on his phone. You looked at him in confusion but he was too busy switching back and forth between watching the road and texting to notice.
âI totally get that. I ate alone so many times that I started it get used to it. But it gets better when you find a few good people to spend time with.â He said after a minute. You nodded your head and tried not to be bothered by how distracted he was.
âAre your frat brothers good people?â
âI know you probably have a million and one presuppositions about frat guys but I promise weâre not as bad as youâve been told. Lots of frats are crazy and have those worst kind of guys in it but were not like that. We have a no bullshit policy.â He informed you.
âOh yeah? What kind of bullshit do you not tolerate?â
âAll sorts of bullshit. We just kicked a guy out last week because he cheated on his girlfriend. And we banned the girl from our parties because she knew he had a girlfriend and slept with him anyway. We do not tolerate that kind of bullshit. Plus, Flash told me they once found out a guy was a bully in high school so they took turns farting on his pillow and then he got severe pink eye and had to drop out of school for the semester. Isnât that hilarious?â
âThatâs nice to hear. Except for the fart stuff. Thatâs really gross. But not tolerating bullshit is cool. I guess I assumed all frat guys were Brads and Chads who chugged beers and creeped on girls. And I assumed that because a frat guy at my school had sex with a pumpkin and put it on his Snapchat story.â
âEw, what?â Peter laughed. âWho uses Snapchat still?â
âThatâs the part you found gross? Damn, how many pumpkins are you having sex with?â You teased him.
âA gentleman never tells.â Peter said poshly, making you laugh. He got another text and pulled out his phone to read it.
âPeter-â You began.
âI canât believe youâre in my car. Do you know how many times I tried to awkwardly ask you out in high school? But I was so vague you never realized? And now youâre just in my car and you smell amazing and I barely had to do anything.â He cut you off and grinned at you as he put his phone down. Every time you got annoyed with his behavior, he pulled you back in some compliment.
âThank you. Itâs my perfume.â You smiled and held your wrist out. Peter caught it with ease and held your wrist to his nose.
âOh, wow. I like that.â He complimented. âUsually I wake up and walk into a cloud of axe body spray in every area of the house. Youâre a nice relief from that.â
âThank you. You smell good too.â You chuckled.
âThanks. I stole Flashâs expensive cologne.â
âFor me?â You gasped and touched your heart.
âHell yeah.â He scoffed. âIâve been waiting on this date since I was 14.â
âI never said this was a date.â You said out of the corner of your mouth.
âIâm pretty sure you did.â He said and dragged the word âprettyâ out.
âYou would have been on time if it was.â You teased him, making him look at you with narrowed eyes.
âOkay, yes, I was late.â He admitted. âBut I had good reason.â
âAnd what was that reason?â
âI was setting something up.â He said simply.
âReally?â You smiled. âWhat is it?â
âYouâll see.â He said coyly.
âOkay. Weirdo.â You chuckled. âSo, where are we eating?â
âI know this great burger place a few blocks from here. Youâre gonna love it.â He replied. You nodded and head and smiled until he pulled out his phone again to answer another text. His car swerved into the other lane and he barely noticed, making you shoot him a look.
âWho are you texting?â You finally asked him.
âNobody. One second.â He answered as his eyes flipped back and forth between his phone and the road. He started to drift again and a car honked at him as it passed by to get away.
âPeter, you really need to keep your eyes on the road.â You said as another car shouted something at him out their window.
âWhat was that?â Peter asked and looked up from his phone. You looked at him incredulously and let out a short laugh.
âIf you have someone else youâd like to be talking to right now, maybe you should go be with them.â
âWoah, woah, woah. Babe, chill. I donât have anyone else. I want to be here with you.â He insisted.
âDonât call me âbabeâ. Its condescending. And youâre putting both our lives in danger because youâre so busy texting. And if you want to be with me, why are you so distracted by your phone?â
âI just needed to respond to something. Sorry. I wonât do it anymore.â He grumbled and put his phone away. His lack of an apology and heavy attitude in his voice was the final straw for you.
âJust pull over.â You told him.
âWhat? No. Weâre almost there. I wonât text anymore.â He promised.
âPeter, pull over.â You said sternly. âI do not want to be in this car anymore.â
âIâm trying to take you on a nice date and youâre gonna bail because I answered a few texts?â
âPull the damn car over.â You raised your voice. Peter rolled his eyes and pulled over to the side of the street.
âBefore you get out-â He began. Just then, his phone rang with a girls name on his screen and his face dropped. You raised your eyebrows at him and he smiled sheepishly.
âAnswer it.â You dared him. Peter gulped and looked between you and the phone before picking it up.
âIâm sorry. One second.â He said and answered the phone. You scoffed in disbelief and glared at him as he took the call.
âHello? No, Iâm not doing anything. I can talk. Whatâs going on?â He asked into the phone. You had seen enough and got out of the car and started walking down the street. Peter watched you get out and opened his car door to talk to you.
âWhere are you going?â He called after you.
âPeter, Iâm not gonna sit here while you text other girls. Iâm leaving.â You answered and continued down the street. He quickly explained his situation over the phone and hung up before running after you.
âWait, please donât leave. Iâll put my phone away.â He promised but you didnât stop walking.
âYou can text whoever you want. I donât care. Youâre just not gonna do it and think you can still take me on a date.â You told him before storming off. You turned the corner and started heading towards a nearby park.
âWait.â Peter called after you so you walked even faster. He eventually caught up and caught you gently by the arm.
âDamn, youâre fast for a girl in heels.â He said as he caught his breath. You pulled your arm away from him and went into the park to get away from him. He caught onto you again and this time, you had tears in your eyes.
âWhere are you going?â He asked. âWhat about our date?
âThis was a mistake.â You shook your head and looked down.
âWhat? No it wasnât.â He said, sounding genuinely hurt.
âYes it was. Look at us, Peter. We donât have anything in common anymore. I really liked you back then but youâre not that guy anymore. That guy wouldnât show up late, call me âhotâ and âbabeâ, text and drive, forget his favorite movie, stop talking to his best friend-â
âOh. I get it.â He cut you off. âYouâre disappointed because Iâm not the same person I was when I was 17.â
âYeah. Maybe I am.â You snapped and folded your arms when you heard his attitude return.
âYeah, well. Youâre different too.â He insisted. âThe girl I knew in high school was not this judgmental.â
âI am not judgmental.â You scoffed.
âYes you are. Youâve been judging me since the moment you turned around at the party. Just admit it.â
âMaybe because you commented on my ass like you were one of the dickhead boys you used to make fun of Iâm high school. God, what happened to you?â
âI said I was sorry about that.â
âBut you still did it.â You laughed sadly. âAnd then showed up late. And then remembered things about me from high school. And then texted other girls. And then kept the hat I gave you. I donât understand you, Peter. I canât read you anymore. This is too confusing. And itâs all for nothing because I still go back home on Tuesday and weâre never going to see each other again.â
âIt doesnât have to be like that.â He said and put his hands on your shoulders. You were surprised by how desperate for you to stay he sounded since it contradicted his behavior thus far.
âI think it does, Peter. Goodbye.â You shook your head and walked away again.
âWait. Thereâs snakes out there.â He called after you.
âNo thereâs not.â You called back. You kept walking through the park until you came across a picnic blanket surrounded by fake candles. Surrounding the blanket were printed out caricatures of celebrities strung up and tapped to trees.
âWhat is this?â You asked when you heard Peter come up behind you.
âOh thank God. No one stole it.â He sighed in relief and walked over to the picnic blanket.
âWait, you set this up?â You asked in disbelief.
âYeah. Ellenâs Stardust Dinner turns out to be insanely difficult to get into so I made us one.â
âEllenâs Stardust Dinner?â
âIn your letter. I remembered you said it was your dream to eat there one day.â He said with a sheepish smile. You couldnât help but smile as well and started to walk around to look at all the photos he had printed. Peter lingered behind you and kept a comfortable distance since you were upset with him.
âIs this Joey Graceffa?â You laughed and pointed to one of the pictures.
âI took some creative liberties with the celebrities I chose to showcase once I ran out of ones I knew you liked. Do you still like Dylan OâBrien?â
âDo bears still shit in the woods? The answer is yes. Sorry. That wasnât funny.â You quickly corrected yourself and Peter snorted.
âIt was a little funny.â He admitted. âNot really, though.â
âI see the entire cast of Modern Family made it.â You chuckled and touched one of the photos he had tapped up to a tree.
âOf course they did. Itâs the best show ever.â
âYouâre not wrong.â You looked over at him with a smile. Peter took that smile as a sign you were forgiving him and stepped closer to you. You could feel his presence behind you and turned around to face him.
âYou set all this up for me?â
âI did. Thatâs why I was late.â He explained. âI started early but then I ran out of magenta ink so obviously I couldnât print the rest of my photos despite them having no magenta parts.â
âWhat about all the texting?â You asked him.
âMy aunt is getting a mammogram today. Her mom had breast cancer so she was really nervous. I was checking in with her. But donât worry, sheâs okay. She just called to tell me. And that doesnât excuse me texting while driving which I normally never do but she was anxious in the waiting room and I didnât want her to be alone with her thoughts.â
âYou didnât tell me that.â You said softly and immediately felt guilty for snapping at him.
âYou wouldâve told me to go be with her.â He shrugged. âAnd I didnât want to miss the opportunity to see you before you left.â
âWell thatâs very noble of you but it sounds like she needed you more than I did today.â
âDonât worry. She insisted I come here instead. I would have just made her more nervous with my anxious pacing.â
You looked around at everything Peter had set up for you and all the details he had put in. Youâd misread everything and judged him off of things you knew little about. You looked at him with guilt in your eyes and smiled sadly.
âI donât know what to say.â You admitted. âYou went through a lot today for me and I just threw a fit and stormed off.â
âI canât say I didnât give you good reason. I should have told you these things sooner. Iâm just not good at this sort of thing. I wanted so badly to impress you that I ended up making you think I didnât care.â
âCan we just start over then? And enjoy this set up you made?â You asked him.
âI would like that.â Peter smiled and sat down on the blanket. You sat down beside him and leaned into his side. Peter wasted no time in wrapping both arms around you, making you both fall backwards onto the blanket. You both laughed and stayed in each others arms as you rolled over to look into his eyes.
âIâm sorry I judged you.â You said and fixed his hair.
âItâs okay. I know Iâm not what you thought Iâd be.â
âYouâre not. But youâre still you. You still have your heart and your humor. And those were always my favorite parts of you anyway. I donât know why I got so hung up on the other things. Who cares what movies you watch or what you do with your free time now? None of that stuff matters.â
âDo you still like me? Even though Iâm different?â He asked as he stared into your eyes.
âLook at what you did for me today. Youâre not different. You just wear different clothes. I shouldnât have been so quick to judge you. It wasnât fair. And Iâm really sorry.â
âItâs okay. Honestly, I miss who I was too. I miss Ned. And being around people who know what amino acids are. And I missed you. God, I missed you so much. In the years since high school, there have been so many times when Iâve come across something I wanted to show you or thought something I wanted to tell you. I missed hearing your laugh when I made a stupid joke or hearing your thoughts on the bad movies Iâd beg you to watch. I never made a friend like you again. And after a while, I realized I never would.â
âI never found someone like you either. No one ever had me like you did. Iâve been dreaming about the day we met again since the day I last saw you.â
âSorry to disappoint.â He joked.
âPlease. How could I be disappointed in this?â You playfully rolled your eyes and traced your fingertips up and down his arm. Peter reached forward and placed his hand on your face to stroke your cheek with his thumb.
âWhen do you leave on Tuesday?â He asked in a quiet voice.
âLate. My train is at 5.â
âMaybe we can get breakfast then.â He suggested without looking at you as he laced his fingers through yours.
âIâd like that.â You smiled and started to lean in.
âI can cook it.â He added. âAfter we wake up in my room.â
âDonât push it.â You chuckled and rubbed your nose against his as you got closer.
âI wonât.â He replied before closing the gap between you and kissing you. The kiss that was years in the making was worth every minute of the wait. His right hand found his way to your hip and he squeezed it.
âMaybe you can push it just a little bit.â You said against his lips. Peter took that as his chance to pull you by the waist on top of him and deepen the kiss.
âThatâs how I know youâve changed. Nice boys donât kiss like that.â You said when you pulled away to catch your breath.
âYes they fucking do.â Peter said against your lisp before pulling you back into a heated kiss. You werenât sure how much time passed as you kissed him but you only stopped when you Peters stomach let out a loud growl. You pulled away and rolled onto your back as you both laughed.
âSorry about that. We never actually got any food.â He realized.
âOh yeah. Maybe we should go do that.â You said and rolled over to face him.
âYeah. We probably should.â
Despite the agreement to get up and go get some food, neither of you moved. You just laid on the blanket and stared into each others eyes with a comfortable silence in the air.
âIn a minute?â You suggested after a minute and Peter smiled before leaning in to kiss you again.
âIn a minute.â
PSA: DONâT TEXT AND DRIVE. itâs never worth it. It takes one second to get in an accident. Any text can wait. Your life is more important

gummy bear
â€ïžâ âč childhood bff!yuta okkotsu x f!reader || gummy bear is ur nickname that he gave u as a kid (also, this is yuta when he comes back from africa.. heart eyes)
warnings: both yuta and reader are in their early 20âs, piv sex, creampie, yuta is a virgin but thereâs no corruption kink, childhood bffs to strangers to lovers, men turning into putty, lowkey sub yuta, heâs just down bad for you, freaky ass perv yuta but he fries his very best to be respectful to you, reader is implied to have slightly bigger than average boobs but honestly interpret however youâd like, porn with some plot, not revised lol just horny as always
summary: itâs been a while since youâve seen your childhood best friend, yuta. you havenât seen him since he left high school to be a sorcerer and although you guys tried staying in touch in high school, you havenât heard a single peep from him after he left for africa. you understood him, mutually agreeing that you two were simply growing up and exploring new. however, when yuta comes back a new man, you canât help but feel new feelings growing
ââă»àš ⊠à§ă»ââ
youâd recently moved into a new apartment close to your new boring, but nicely paying, corporate job. on a random tuesday afternoon at the grocery store, you bump into a familiar face you hadnât seen in years, almost not even recognizing him.
âoh shit- iâm so sorry-,â you stumble backwards as you run into what seemed like a human lamp post when you look up to meet a familiar pair of black eyes, accompanied with eye bags. â.. yuta? is that you?â, you almost laugh at the situation, not believing your eyes. he had much longer hair now, deeper eye bags, but still had the same anxious eyes.
âow.. fuck, hey gummy bear, havenât seen you in a while,â yuta looks down almost embarassed from his absence. the nickname rolls off his tongue so easily, like it was naturally your name and it makes u slightly blush.
when you and yuta met as kids, he initially introduced himself only because he wanted one of your gummy bears since it was also his favorite snack. he didnât even learn your name until weeks after you guys were friends, only calling you gummy bear and the nickname sort of just stuck with him. the story always made you let out a dulcet sigh, cherishing the innocent memory.
âitâs not your fault, yuta!â you giggle, âi havenât been really reaching out either.. i guess weâre both busy. how about we uh, catch up?â you suggest.
ââă»àš ⊠à§ă»ââ
it had been a week since you and yuta had been reunited. and you slowly started to notice how attractive heâd grown to be. both you and yuta were sitting on the sole couch inside your nearly empty apartment, unpacked boxes littered everywhere as you procrastinated on putting everything together. enjoying each others presence as you both told stories about things that happened in your lives, you felt a sense of nostalgia washing over you, as if this was what you were missing for so long. you draped your legs over his lap as he lightly ran his hand over them like you guys would always do in high school. would this be something that only best friends did? probably notâŠ
âoh my gosh, yu!â, you gasped, almost wiping a tear away, âyou went through all of that? on your own?â. he stayed humble of course, shyly brushing it off as if it was no biggy.
he couldnât help but trail his eyes over to your tight shirt, encasing the tits that he had not noticed back in high school. he swallowed hard, darting his eyes back to your face. the face that had only grown more gorgeous as you moved into adulthood. have you always been so beautiful?
âcâmon, yu, letâs watch a movie, like old times?â, you laugh. he nervously nodded before you took your laptop, propping it on the coffee table since you havenât installed your TV yet. âsorry for the setup.. erm, well, i mean the lack thereoffâ.
ânah, itâs f-fine, gummy bearâ, he almost audibly gulped as he thanked god that you couldnât see him taking in the sight of your ass pointing at him as you bent over to put on a movie. were you doing this on purpose? yuta had never been the perverted type. hell, heâd never even been the romantic type. you were basically the only girlâ well, human girlâheâd been close to in his life. he averted his eyes as you turn back around. almost crying out loud as you cuddled into his lap, wrapping a blanket around both of you. like old times, right?
you enjoyed how tall yuta had grown (as well as the rest of him), resting your head in the crook of his neck as your back settled into his chest. âi hope this is comfortable, yu.. we havenât done this in a whileâ, you mumble, wiggling to get yourself comfortable as he bites his tongue, praying he didnât get a boner.
yuta instinctively wrapped his arms around your waist, nuzzling his face into your hair, subtly smelling it as he appreciated how your scent never changed. âmâokay, gummy bearâ.
you smiled faltered a bit, having a small realization and shifting slightly off of his lap and onto his thigh instead, facing him. âoh god, i really hope you donât have a girlfriend. we probably shouldnât be doing this if you do!â, you frantically panicked. yuta responded with a curt shake of his head, his body acting before his mind to pull you back onto his lap.
you sighed in relief, wiggling back to your comfortable spot with more of a bounce than you shouldâve. âoh thatâs a relief, yu. i really missed youâ, you mumbled, leaning back against his as your ass pressed against his groin, your hand subtly grazing his thigh. fuck, if he didnât have a boner before he definitely had one now.
he slightly shifted you by your waist with his big, lanky hands, praying to god that you didnât feel his boner. you did.
your eyes widened as you realized that he was getting turned on by whatever youâd been doing. yuta had never been inappropriate with you or even any other girl! your relationship was strictly platonic.. well until now. you wanted him to make up for lost time, for the years heâd been missing from your life. you were on a mission to make him snap.
âmmm, yuta, stop moving me..â you whined, âi was comfortable in my other spotâ. you bounced back, landing right on his bulge as he bit back a whine. âyu, whatâs in your pocket? i feel it against my butt..! you should probably take it out before i squish it or somethingâ, you tease , rubbing your ass so his cock would slide riiight in between your asscheeks.
when yuta looked down at the sight, he nearly came in his pants. his raging boner was in between your asscheeks which were held in the confines of your sweatpants, his hands gripping at your waist as you slightly rubbed against him. the blanket was covering you from the rest of the room, albeit empty, but it felt like he was a high schooler in their house trying to hide being fucking freaky from their family.
âg-gummy bear, please-â he was cut off by your hands moving up to cup your tits through your top, yuta almost, almost, gave them a squeeze but he held it in. you had no idea how much of a pervert he had become from seeing you again, pent up from years of no release and being a damn virgin his whole life.
âwhat, yu? donât wanna cuddle with your best friend?â you inquire, feigning innocent. he then felt your nipples pebbling up underneath his palm. he hadnât noticed earlier since itâd been slightly warm but fuck, you werenât wearing a bra. he threw his head back, feeling like he was a fucking lion clawing inside an enclosure. and you were damn determined to let him out.
you grabbed his hand again, manipulating the pads of his fingers to rub against your nipples through your painfully thin shirt. ânever fucked anyone while you were away, yu?â, you whispered as you felt him shake his head behind you.
âthought so. i mean, you can have all the practice you want with me.. right?â. before you could continue he yanked you up, manhandling you so you were pinned down on the couch.
âstop being a tease, gummy bear.. yâknow i missed you so much, shit.. and you have the gall to grind on my boner? knowing iâm a damn virgin?â he huffed, his face inches from yours, âplease, please, gummy bear. tell me you want this. tell me. if we do this weâll never be just friends again. please, babyâ, he whined.
you grabbed his face with both hands, crashing your lips into his. it felt like a century of pent up feelings had come breaking out like water from a dam. he humped you as if he was a fucking dog, moaning into the kiss. you flip over again, going on top of him as he admired how fucking sexy you looked, hair disheveled, lips slightly swollen, and your lip combo smudged. you scoot down slightly to tug against his pants, eyes widening as his erect, throbbing, cock springing out and slapping against his stomach with a slight pap.
you looked so damn hot and hungry, almost happily touching his cock, but before you could lean down to put your mouth on it, he grabbed your wrist.
âno, no, gummy bear, please, i want it first in your pussy, baby, pleaseâ. he sounded so good begging you took off your sweatpants faster than fucking barry allen. he threw his head back with a groan at the sight of your pussy, if he could, he would jump for joy right now but he was too focused on you.
ânext time, youâre sitting on my fucking face, gummy bearâ, he groaned. next time. you rubbed your pussy on his cock which laid flat against his stomach, his tip leaking precum on his toned abs.
âplease, baby, donât tease me. put it in..â he whined, his hand traveling down to rub at your clit and the other gripping your hip. with a small smile, you lean back, lining up his tip to your entrance, moaning as it caught onto your clit as you rubbed his cock over your hole.
âstop- fuckin teasing.â he grunted as his hips thrusted up, his cock entering your soaking wet pussy as you yelped. he was big. you had some experience with guys in college but no one ever could even reach his caliber of dick. you dropped down completely on his dick, feeling his balls against your ass and his public hair tickling your clit. you didnât even care that he wasnât trimmed and neither did he. fuck, he wouldnât even care if you had a whole forest, i mean, heâs a sorcerer, heâs supposed to explore territory thatâs unseen, right?
âfuck yes, yu! youâre so fucking big!â you yelp, beginning to move as you began to grind on his cock. slightly bouncing on it. yutasâs eyes trailed from your fucked out face to your pert tits, allll the way down to your pussy that had enveloped his dick. you almost wished you put some furniture out because all you could hear was the echos of your moans, yutaâs heaving breathing and whining, the squeaking of the couch, and the wet squelch of your pussy. you were definitely getting a noise complaint filed against you.
he thrusted up again and you let out an obscene whine, squeezing his dick which made him let out a loud, strangled moan. you peered down, noticing that he was starting to fucking cry from how good your pussy was.
ây-yu.. are you- ohh fuck, okay?â you bring your hand down to wipe his tears, peppering kisses on his face.
âs-such a good fucking- f.. FUCK.. pussy..â he groaned out, not even believing that his level of pleasure was possible. you were taken aback by his dirty words, but sighed in relief before he started to continuously thrust up, hitting your cervix over and over again.
yutaâs eyes wandered back to your tits, noticing that theyâd began to slip out of your skimpy top. with one hard thrust, he almost came on the spot when they bounced out of their confines, nipples erect as your tits jiggled perfectly.
âg-gummy bear youâre so.. shit- perfect!â he shoved his face in between your tits as you let out a strangled moan from the extra pleasure. âperfect fucking tits. made just for me. fuck, thank you for waiting for me.. for not dating some fucking loser⊠all for me, yeah? right, gummy?â he lost himself in between your boobs.
âall for you, yuta baby, all for you!â.
âfuck- FUCK- gummy bear, cum with me, i can feel your pussy clenching, please baby, please cum with meâ
he gave your tit one more sick before the coil in your stomach snapped, making you squirt for the first time in your life.
âfuck yes, gummy bear, squirt all over me, make a mess, baby yes, where do you want me?â
âi-inside please..â you were nearly crying as well from the overstimulation.
âdonât say that baby- fuck- you drive me crazy, gummy bear, iâm gonna cum in you, fuck yeah,â he groaned before thrusting up harshly one last time, his thrusts calming to slow, shallow humping. he pulled out, admiring how well your pussy took him as you whimpered from the new empty feeling. you huffed, thinking he was satisfied.
âyou didnât think i was done, right, gummy bear?â, he smiled, his almost eerie eyes peering up at you as he pulled you up, making you plop right on top of his face.
ââgotta keep my promise. my best friend was waiting for me at home all these years, after allâ

Sister's New Boyfriend
âCâmon bro, didnât you miss this?â Scott teased, his giant Size 13 foot plopped onto the coffee table in front of me.
âCut it out, Scott,â I hissed, knowing my sister was bound to call us into the kitchen any minute now.
âWhy should I?â Scott cockily grinned. âWe both know you want to.â
I held back the scarlet that threatened to color my face. âThatâs not true.â
âItâs only been what, seven or eight years since high school?â Scottâs grin shifted into an exaggerated frown. âSurely you haven't forgotten me, have you? And all the fun times we had together?â
Unfortunately I had not forgotten Scott, or the âfun timesâ he was referring to. The constant bullying; harassment and name-calling and even a few bouts of abuse. It was painful for me to reflect on, both of us being the same age and yet being emotionally attacked by a man double my size. Since those years, the gym and my therapist had helped me move past those vulnerable times. Even though I had struggled to find a relationship, I was stronger now; a fighter well-off with a supportive network.Â
âLuckily for you, Iâve moved on,â I snarked, sizing Scott up.
âI donât think you have,â Scottâs smirk returned. âOtherwise you wouldâve left as soon as you saw me.â
I had not expected Scott to be my sisterâs new boyfriend. The man she had been gloating about for months, this âkind, sensible, loyalâ being that had corrupted her life to the point that he was all she would talk about. I would have never assumed my sisterâmy older, highly educated sisterâto end up with the malevolent jock who had destroyed my ego all those years ago. And after brief introductions, in which I realized I was still physically smaller than my former tormentor, I quickly sensed the looming danger of the situation.
âIâm not going to abandon my sister,â I retorted.
âYouâre not going to abandon your commands, either,â Scott shot back, a bit to my confusion. Scott had apparently dropped out of college, but had become a fitness influencer in the years since, pulling in huge financial figures. It was difficult not to reflect on the fact that even though I had a degree, Scott had still come out on top. âStop lying to yourself, buddy.â
Instead of another backhanded defense, I felt myself a slow warmth settling in his bones. My frustration subsided as a peaceful, almost artificial calm crawled over. My usual worries were smoothing over, something that Scott recognized immediately.
âYeah, thatâs it, buddy.â Again, the word sent a pleasurable warmth all across my frame, tingling my toes and twitching the corners of my mouth into the beginnings of a dopey smile. âI see a few years apart hasnât weakened my conditioning on you at all, has it?â
I knew better than to answer. In therapy, I thought I had discussed all my qualms with Scott. Every single memory I could recover was heavily investigated, scrutinized, and then analyzed to create a plan for my future proceedings. But it was not until that very moment, in my sisterâs living room reunited with my high school bully, that I realized I had only covered half of the relationship Scott had created for us. The memories my therapist and I had discussed, those were only the ones Scott had allowed me to remember.
âNo Sir,â I replied, the title suddenly feeling appropriate. âNot at all. I still jack off to the thought of your magnificence at least twice a week as you instructed, Sir.â
My pupils inflated as Scottâs smirk grew sinister; this truth being revealed to both of us.Â
âWhat, you didnât think I just let you go after graduation, did you?â Scottâs words cut right to the bone, my embarrassment finally flushing my face. âI guess my hypnosis was better than I thought it was back then. I like to keep all my boys on a leash, in case they ever become useful to me again.â
Before I could respond, Scott snapped his finger and pointed back at his foot. Immediately, I was kneeling before him, my nose inhaling his godly scent and my tongue running across the holy valleys of his sole. Every breath sent another wave of affection across me, the submissive alter ego Scott had created for me back in high school overriding all the defenses I had built up since then.
âWhoâd have thought one of them would eventually become my brother-in-law?â Scott commented. Even as my former life and independence was quickly evaporating, his smug victory brought a single tear to my eye.Â
âI thought I was going to break the news!â My sister yelled from the kitchen, finally entering the conversation but apparently oblivious to what was actually happening. âDinner will be set in a minute!â
âThanks babe,â Scott called back, before searing his eyes straight through me. âHope youâre ready to be an uncle too, buddy.â
That revelation snapped what was left of my free will. But now, I had more important things to worry about, like tending to Scottâs feet.

so high school | ln
the one where you feel like a teenager in love.
lando norris x fem!reader
word count: ~1.0k
warnings: fluff, smut (MDNI, +18), public masturbation, fingering, orgasm denial
note: iâve been listening to this song on repeat for almost a week now, itâs so catchy and the GTA lyrics made me laugh so i had to write something inspired by it. itâs short but i hope you enjoy :) not proofread
being in love had never been as easy as it was with lando.
you had been in love before, sure, but your heart beat in a different rhythm whenever he was around.
you both had felt the spark between you the very first time you met. you could swear the sound of his laugh would always be your favorite song and something as simple as the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled made the butterflies in your stomach flutter all around every damn time.
âcome on, tell me again!â your voice was high-pitched, it always was when you were with your boyfriend.
you heard lando let out a chuckle at your insistence, his body spread on the couch as you rested your head on his lap. his hand found yours, fingers entwining under the blanket that covered your body and you gave him a little squeeze, encouraging to tell you once more what you were asking.
âalright, alright,â he facetiously rolled his eyes, earning a giggle from your lips. âi thought you were the most beautiful girl iâve ever seen.â
you had heard his first impression on you about a thousand times before, but it always brought a smile to your face, being reminded of how enamored he was with you since the very first night.
âfuck, i could barely sleep that night because you wouldnât leave my mind,â and you had felt the exact same thing.
you two had just clicked instantly, your friends surprised at the chemistry of the both of you.
despite of how crowded the club was that evening you met, it had felt like no one was around you. endless conversation and laughs that seemed to never cease lured you away from the presence of everyone else, and when his lips finally met yours hours later you felt your heart exploding. your bodies moulded together as if you were made to each other, smiles and soft giggles breaking the kiss every few seconds.
and wrapped in his arms you felt like you were sixteen again; and admittedly, no one had ever loved you quite like him before.
àšà§
for the almost eight months that you had been together, you and lando had always loved to invite your mutual friends over during the weekend. at the end of the day, they were the reason you two had met in the first place, and there werenât enough words in the english language to just show how grateful you were.
every few saturdays all of you would reunite in your âhis âliving room, a few bottles of alcohol and snacks set on the tea table as you played some stupid drinking game. after that, you would just play the first movie that one of you could think of, lights off as everyone settled either on the couch or, most likely, on the floor, a little too tipsy to even bother getting comfortable.
that night it was american pie playing on the big screen as you cuddled into your boyfriendâs embrace under the soft blanket; it was chilly, the cool summer freeze making you need to cover the bare skin of your legs.
you softly sighed as your leaned your back to his chest as his arms circled around you; and then one of his hands was creeping under the blanket, fingers gently brushing the skin of your thighs.
you smiled at the comfort of his warmth, eyes fixed on the screen mindlessly.
but lando had had a little too much to drink that night, so his fingers slowly moved up, up, up, until they found the seam of your shorts. and the innocence of his previous touch was immediately thrown away the second you looked up to his face, eyes furrowed in confusion, just to meet his smirk.
âwhat are you doing?â you whisper-shouted, your thighs closing together as he tried to get closer to where he knew you wanted him.
and he shushed. that sly grin of his not leaving his lips.
you bit your lower lip and complied, legs slowly giving him access to your core as your eyes went back to the movie. with slow, teasing movements, he managed to push your shorts and your panties to the side, fingers finding the nub of your clit with ease. this was the most patient you had ever seen him, the tip of his digits slowly rubbing circles on you as he pretended to watch that stupid movie, not even looking at you.
your breath got heavier and unsteady as he touched you at a tauntingly pace, inaudible to everyone else thanks to the loud volume of the tv.
but when he slid his fingers down your folds, coating them in your slick before slowly pushing two of them into your hole, you couldnât help a gasp from escaping your lips.
you felt your face heating up when the sound earned a look from some of your friends, and you tried your best to cover it with a chuckle. that scene better had been funny, you thought.
lando, however, seemed to find your situation hilarious. you looked up at his smile as he kept fucking his fingers into you slowly, and you could tell he was trying his best not to laugh.
as the seconds passed, stifling your sighs was getting harder and harder, your walls already clenching around your boyfriendâs digits. your fingers wrapped around his wrist, warning him that you were close, and thatâs when he stopped.
the withdrawal of his fingers almost made you whine, and you shot a glance at him, this time, a disappointed one. he seemed to like how you responded, because his smile widened and he lowered his head to press a gentle kiss to your temple.
âlater, baby. i want to hear those pretty sounds you make when you come,â he whispered into your ear before leaning back on the couch again, shamelessly cleaning his fingers on your thigh and leaving you craving his touch even more.

Itâs so annoying being a writer in the real world. There are so many things that seem so poetic and meant to be and if I was a writer then I would make that happen but itâs real life and so it doesnât
#like I 100% believe I am fated to be with this boy I went to high school with#his parents love me my parents love him and our parents are friendly with each other#and then thereâs the fact that our dad knew each other from before either of us were born#and remembered each other when they were reunited when we were in high school#and personality wise I think we are compatible and I had a crush on him#the only problem was he didnât like me#and now I havenât seen him in like six years#but if I was writing this story I would have all this mean something#but it doesnât and thatâs so annoying

The Devil Dances With A Smile
Chapter One
He can't kill you. He can't bring himself to lay a hand on you. So, he falls for you instead (its a shame his employer really wants you dead)
Hitman!Max x reader
Chapter Two
His class wasn't listening, he could tell that much as he drew things onto the whiteboard. He ignored it, kept writing. But then the giggles started up.
It was a new class, a bunch of eleven year old experiencing their first year of high school. For the first week, they had been quiet. But now they were a month in. The trouble makers had learnt how to make their peers laugh and it was normally at his expense.
They hadn't yet seen their teacher, a professor, at that, angry. He'd gotten annoyed, had snapped a pen under his desk to help keep his cool, but had never gotten angry with his year sevens.
"Eliza, James!" He snapped, and the two fell quiet. He wasn't angry, he just needed the two of them to know better than to test him. Not today. Not after how rough his other job had been.
"Sorry Professor Verstappen," the two of them said in unison. The entire class fell silent when the two of them did, and Max got on with his lesson.
Max rubbed his eyes as his lesson came to an end and his class handed in their workbooks. He shouted a reminder about homework, but their chatter was too loud to hear it.
When the door fell shut and Max put his head in his hands. Just a few minutes of rest, that was all he needed. He let his eyes fall shut.
Even in rests that only lasted a minute, Max dreamt the same thing. The young man with the lion tattoo on his hand, begging for his life at the end of his gun. It didn't matter what he said, Max always pulled the trigger.
A knock at his door pulled him out of his dream, pulled him back into his day job. He pushed his hair out of his face and looked towards his classroom door.
The history teacher stared at Max for a minute. No, not stared. He'd asked him a question and Max had just ignored it. "Huh?" He asked, a yawn leaving a lips.
"I asked if you were okay," Charles said, his worried expression softening.
Max gave a nod. He had always liked Charles, even when they were academic rivals through secondary school. But then university came and they went their separate ways. Max went off to study geography and Charles went to off to do history. They never thought they'd be reunited as colleagues. "Just tired, that's all," he admitted.
Now, don't get it wrong, Max loved teaching. Sculpting young minds, helping them pave their way forward in life. But teaching was only part of what he did.
Most teachers went home and marked homework. Max did that too, for maybe an hour. And then it was dinner while the cats ate. Tonight he had some shitty, healthy pizza and the cats had their gourmet food.
But then his night shift began.
He didn't look like a contract killer. He didn't wear all black, didn't have a long coat with weapons beneath. No, he looked like a normal guy. He wore skinny jeans and a black leather jacket.
But their was a reason people called on The Lion. He didn't exactly need a weapon to kill anyone. He was quick, clean, and didn't ask any questions.
Christian met him in the same place each time. Max entered the office in the warehouse full of old cars, and Christian slipped the manila folder across the desk.
There was a usual routine to this. Normally Max pulled out the paper in the folder, read the information on his target. He learnt all he needed to know about his target, grabbed the weapon he thought would be best, and he set off.
But not this time.
Pulling the information from the folder, he turned the paper towards Christian. "What the fuck is this?" He asked.
On the folder was a girl in a cafe. She had an apron around her waist and a tray of empty glasses in her hands. No criminal convictions listed, no possible crimes.
No reason for Max to take her out.
"Something about inheritance," said Christian, his voice nonchalant. He didn't care what happened to the target, as long as they ended up dead by the end of it. Christian was just there to fill his coffers.
Max looked at the picture again. She was pretty, he couldn't deny that. She was smiling in the picture, seemingly making jokes with somebody the picture hadn't captured. His usual targets were criminals that had made threats against people. Those people wanted the criminal taken out before they made good on those threats. That was where Max came in. He was the one that took them out.
His other type of target was rich assholes. The kind that exploited people for money, the kind who's wealth would be better distributed to the very people they were exploiting. They weren't easy jobs, killing someone and changing their will, and they didn't get them often, but they were Max's favourite. The tougher the better.
"Christian."
Christian groaned as he rubbed at the bridge of his nose. "Do you want to stand around and argue, or do you want to get paid?"
The Lion was on the prowl. No weapons, Max wouldn't need them for her. He climbed into his car and looked at the address of the café. A café by the train station, open for twenty-four hours out of the day. Two and a half star rating, the only good thing about the café being the 'pretty, kind waitress'.
Once the night was up, the reviews would plummet.
Max drove. A waitress at a shitty, twenty-four hour café. She couldn't be worth as much as Christian was saying she was. And, if she was worth that much, she couldn't have known.
Parking outside of the train station, Max looked over at the café. It was the same angle the picture was taken from, he recognised as he looked down at her picture in his folder. She was grinning in that picture and she was grinning now as she cleared away somebody's plates.
He couldn't do this.
***
You didn't love your job. How could you when this was your job? But you still completed it with a smile. Making coffees and running food out to people. Clearing plates and glasses, and wiping over their tables.
It wasn't forever, you told yourself as you took the plates back into the kitchen. "Desserts for table sixteen," You called to the boys in the kitchen. Jimmy saluted you as you scraped the plates into the food waste bin. It was just you, Jimmy and Frank this late at night. Jimmy and Frank were in the kitchen, while you worked the floor.
While Jimmy made the desserts, you backed out of the kitchen and surveyed the few tables you had in. Somebody was at the counter. "Sorry," you said as you rushed past him. You logged into your till and looked at him. The handsome man with the freckle on his lip. "What can I get for you?" You asked, finger poised over the buttons.
For a moment, he said nothing. It was nearly one in the morning, and he wasn't being an easy customer. He looked behind you, at the drinks you had on offer. He looked at the small version of the menu on the board behind your head.
"How about some coffee?" You tried, holding up a mug.
He gave a nod. "A coffee, please," he said and you got to work. Making coffee's was the easiest part of your day. Steaming the milk and pouring it in with the shot of coffee, creating a leaf in latte art at the end. You passed over the coffee and put it through the till.
The bell rang, signalling the desserts were ready, but you didn't run to it. Not while the handsome man in the skinny jeans and leather jacket was still paying. His phone chimed as the payment went through and he grabbed his coffee, taking a seat on one of the round tables by the counter.
You ran to answer the bell, to run the apple pies over to table sixteen, and returned to the counter, cleaning the coffee machine and the jug you used to clean your milk.
Eyes were on you as you worked. You didn't mind it too much, it happened more than you cared to admit. Teenagers that should have been in bed, coming into the café to stare at you as you served them black coffee. You let them sit in the café, since it was better than them roaming the streets.
As you cleaned the counter, you looked at the little round table opposite. Looked at the man with the freckle on his lip. He was pretty, pretty blue eyes, pretty full lips. He was well put together, better than most of the people you saw something through your door at this time in the morning. "What brings you here at this time in the morning?" You asked as you sprayed sanitiser on the counter.
The handsome man with the freckle on his lip looked around. "I'm probably here for the same reason anybody else is," he said and sipped his coffee.
You couldn't help but look around at everybody else in the café. Those getting home late from work, waking themselves up before they headed home to their families. People on break from working in the middle of the night, coming in for a coffee to wake themselves up. People that just wanted shelter, that you had undercharged for a coffee.
The man in front of you didn't seem like that.
Your eyes returned to him. You stared at him, stared at what he was wearing, at the way he was holding his cup. He didn't look on break from work, desperate for a fix of caffeine. He didn't look ready to go home, waking himself up to go and deal with the kids.
You hummed and grabbed a pastry from the counter. "Here," you said and placed it in front of him.
He looked up, brows furrowed as he continued to smile at you. "What's this for?" He asked and pulled the little, white plate towards himself.
You shrugged your shoulders. You couldn't very well tell him that you wanted to figure him out, that you gave him the pastry to keep him around.
Going back to work, you could feel his eyes on you as you cleared away plates and glasses and cleaned tables. You caught his eye several times as you ran plates back into the kitchen.
When you got him his second cup of coffee, he finally introduced himself. "I'm Max," he said and pushed his empty cup towards you.
"It's lovely to meet you, Max," you said, keeping your tone polite. You introduced yourself, gave him the name that he could have read from your name tag.
At the end of your shift, Max was still sitting there. Your conversation had been light through the evening, neither of you learning very much about each other. Just enough to keep you thinking about him as you got changed.
The morning crowd were walking in as you walked out. Max was still at your table. Part of you wanted to stop, wanted to tell him how you hoped to see him again another time.
But Max stood. He put his empty mug at the end of his table. "Can I walk you to your car?" He offered, taking long strides to catch up with you.
You gave him a smile. "You can walk me to the bus stop, if you'd like," you said and he answered you with a nod.
The two of you kept talking, the topics light as he walked you to the bus stop just a little way down the street. Even at the bus stop, Max stayed talking to you until your bus pulled up.
