Water Tower

Jay Kelso x Runck Teen

-hiiii!!! I really enjoyed That 90s show and wanted to write some one shots for it so lmk what you think!!

Camila nodded along as she listened to Leia ranting about not having her first kiss. She hadn't spoken up in fear of being questioned. Her crush was in the vicinity of over hearing that she was inexperienced and she wasn't trying to embarrass herself.

Camila had had the hugest crush on Jay Kelso since middle school, but since he was her brother's best friend she refused to even attempt to flirt with him. Looking up to see her sister's eye verge to hers she quickly looked down at her magazine. "Hey, Cam, how come you never told us about yours?"

Feeling everyone's attention on her, she played it cool and kept looking at the magazine, shrugging it off, "cause it's not a big deal." Her older brother scoffed from his spot next to his girlfriend, seemingly coming up for air for once, "yeah right, you've never kissed anyone. You can't keep anything to yourself." Boy was he wrong, she rolled her eyes looking at him with a glare before looking back at the magazine.

"Wait," Leia erupted in panic, "Camila, one of the coolest girls in town, hasn't even been kissed?! How do I even stand a chance if she hasn't even been kissed?!" The brunette rolled her eyes, closed her magazine and stood up, "no, and fyi, it's not that serious. Your first kiss should have meaning behind it, not just something to pass off," she told the newest group member before walking past the one person she couldn't look at and out the basement door.

Deciding she needed a break from everyone, the Runck middle child made her way to the water tower. She climbed all the way up and sat in her usual spot, back against the tower and legs straight out. The green eyed girl closed her eyes and listened to the sounds around her. Sometimes being around people became a lot so Camila tended to find a small getaway, which was normally either the tower or a hidden spot by the lake she'd found on one of her walks.

The clinking sound of someone climbing up snapped her back to reality. Her eyes opened just in time to meet the brown ones she had tried to avoid most of the time. Jay gave her a bright smile as he finally made it up, "hey, I thought you'd be here." Giving a small smile, she leaned her head back and closed her eyes again, "you thought correctly."

She heard him let out a chuckle and the metal underneath gave away his position as he sat next to her, "you know, you shouldn't let them get to you." Sighing, she opened her eyes and looked at their town that looked tiny from their high point of view, "how can I not when Gwen just made me the laughing stock of the group to make her new bestie feel better?"

She felt his fingers slip in between hers as he moved to hold her hand, which she allowed, and he scooted closer to her, "because she's just jealous. You don't try and she has to." Rolling her eyes, Camila looked up to insult herself but was quick to come to the realization of their closeness which made her mind go blank. Jay's eyes stared back into hers and he gave her a kind smile, "I think it's sweet that you're waiting for the right time for your first kiss."

Trying to keep her breathing steady, she felt her lips curve up, "really?" The brunette gave her a nod, "yeah, it's kind of cute actually." Grinning, Camila laid her head on his shoulder and looked back to the view. It really was peaceful up here. They sat in silence for a few minutes, just enjoying each other's company, before he spoke up again, "was-um, was there anyone you had in mind?"

The Runck teen's face began to heat up, she felt her heartbeat speed up. She could lie and tell him no, but what if she said yes and he asked who it was? Would she tell him? That would be a disaster.

Sitting up straight she shook her head, "no, i- um, I hadn't really thought about it." Their eyes met again and she could see his cheeks turning red, "well whoever it is, he'll be lucky to have your first kiss." Biting her lip she decided to take the chance, "actually- I had one person in mind," her eyes dropped to their hands, "he's a really great friend of mine and he treats me like I'm a princess anytime we're doing anything-"

"H-he sounds great," his voice broke and his grip loosened making her meet his eyes again to see how saddened he was, even when he tried to cover it up. Tightening her grip on his hand, she moved to sit on her knees and face him, "yeah, he is, because he's you Jay." The teens brown eyes snapped to her green ones fast in shock, "you wanted me to be your first kiss?"

Feeling all her confidence fade she looked back down at their still connected hands, "I've actually been wanting to ask you to be my first boyfriend, you don't have to-" His other hand gently pulled her face up so their eyes could meet, "I'd love to be your boyfriend Camila," with that he leaned in and met her soft, unkissed lips.

She quickly accepted and kissed back, her other hand laying on the hairs on the back of his neck. She'd never imagine that Jay would actually want to kiss her, let alone actually kiss her. Yet here she was, floating on cloud nine. His lips were so soft, and he moved so expertly making her pray that she was half as good.

When they pulled away, panting for air, and their eyes met Jay had the biggest smile on his face, "I've been waiting to do that for years." Giggling, she pecked his lips and sat back on the metal, "me too. You are a really good kisser by the way." The teen next to her laughed and played with her hand that was still in his, "thanks, so are you, for someone inexperienced you kiss like you've been at it for years." She giggled and laid her head back on his shoulder, feeling perfectly content with the fact that they'd actually admitted their feelings to each other. Maybe Gwen wasn't such a bad sister.

NEXT CHAPTER

Minghao was the first one in the group that you officially met. You held hands once and according to him, you were breathtaking. He felt an immense amount of peace just by holding your hand and convinced himself that he would never want to let go of you ever again.

6 years ago

Seventeen feels like the perfect age. Not naive like sixteen. You still don’t feel the pressure of daunting adulthood like when you're eighteen. Just plain and simple, seventeen.

Dani and Sara have been your best friends since you were 13 years old. You’ve gone through everything together, and now it’s time that you enjoy being teenagers. You’ve already gone out a few times, mostly to house parties with high school friends, but now you were invited to Wonwoo’s birthday party. Sara’s older brother.

Of course, you knew Wonwoo. Well, you’ve never been in the same place as him, but you obviously knew your best friend had an older brother. Sara has always told you how cool he is, by that you always imagined they had to have the perfect brother and sister relationship. Doing the math you guess he’s in college. You also knew he had a girlfriend. But that was about it.

The party was in the girlfriend's house, and you were somewhat excited cause this is the first time you’re going to hang out with college guys but baby steps, you need to get ready first.

While you were looking through your closet you got a text from Chan.

And it’s not like you’re annoyed but, weren’t we already done with this?

When you met him, you were going through your ""first heartbreak"" and he changed a lot of things for you. He made you want to be happier again. We could give him some actual credit because he achieved it. He got you laughing again and you started to feel like you could be yourself once again.

There’s just one little problem. He didn’t make you feel butterflies. That’s when you got scared that he would want something else when you were only looking for a friend. Scared that eventually, he’d stop talking to you. But maybe, just maybe you’ve considered dating him.

To be honest, being with Chan was difficult. You were positive that you didn’t want anything with him since the start. You were in the process of forgetting the boy who broke your heart. But boys never want to be “just friends”. You were still in love with Seungkwan at that time. And when Chan came into your life, he made you go through a lot of stuff, and not in a good way.

You still care for him, he’s still someone important in your life, but his efforts were never the ones that made you fall in love with him. You know he cares deeply about you, and you’re thankful for this. But we know that’s not enough for a relationship.

The last time he made you cry was on your birthday. To say that you were stressed about his behavior is an understatement. He chose chaos since he woke up, and you didn’t have the time nor the energy to talk through his feelings this specific day. You were busy getting everything ready for your party. Plus it was your birthday. Why is he getting mad at you on your birthday? You remember well that it was 1:00 pm when he texted you,

“I won’t be coming to your party” Wow, okay then.

Why did he feel that he had the right to be upset today? At the end of his tantrum, he ended showing up at your front door. He brought a bunch of his friends and immediately started drinking as if getting blind drunk was the only reason he was at your house.

It was entertaining to look at him from afar. Seeing him talk to everyone but you and even telling your friends that you didn’t love him back. Now suddenly everyone in your party knew what a 'bitch' you were to him.

And the funny thing about alcohol is that it betrays you really fast cause now he was there in front of you begging to talk to you.

You took him out to the balcony to get some air to see if he would sober up, sat him right next to you, and gave him your cup of water. You kept your hands in your lap while lost in thought, trying to keep calm and appreciate the night sky, but now your hands started to feel watery,

Huh?

Well, now we have one Chan crying in your hands, and you didn’t know what to do. “Hey, hey it’s okay, you don’t need to cry” you tried to reassure him while rubbing his back.

“I’M SOS SORRY FOR EVERYTHING I LOVE YOU I’M SORRY REALLY FORGIVE ME I- I KNOW 'S YOUR DAY”

It was frustrating. You also felt like it was all your fault. But this isn't the time to be thinking about all this. The guy in your lap won’t stop crying and this isn't the worst part yet because while you're thinking what to do next… he threw up on you. Yes, on you.

Now all you could do was to quietly scream to his friends and tell them to take care of him and just leave.

You told everyone to leave.

How did this happen? No one was there for you, Dani and Sara had left at some point to another party, never knew why.

Not even Jeonghan, your best friend, could be there for you. But happy birthday, I guess.

The next day you were honestly tired of everything, tired of his apologies, of listening “y/n I love you” “you’re so different from everyone else” “I’m always here for you” “why can’t you love me the way I love you?” over and over again.

You seriously can’t expect that everyone will love you the exact way you want them to, and certainly not at this age where we're dumb and know absolutely nothing about relationships. Yet, it doesn’t mean that they don’t love you. Why has that always been so hard for Chan to understand?

“You make me feel like I can’t do anything right for you. As if I’m not enough. The thing is you’re not for me, and I’m not for you. There’s someone out there that won’t be hard to love, that won’t feel like a challenge, and will simply make love seem easier. Chan, you know that with me, it’s not like that”.

At least that’s what you wanted to tell him.

That you didn’t want to be in a relationship just for him to make you cry when he feels like being rude to you, that he never understood what you meant that one time you told him that he hurts you with his actions. That you didn’t want to feel insecure every time you'll want to talk about your feelings because of fear of how he’ll react. That’s not healthy.

So, Chan and you came to an end. sUre, Something that hadn’t even started in the first place. But yeah, there are days you miss him. Today you hate him.

And his text wasn’t even an important one, it just said “Hey”. I don’t have time for this now, you thought.

Finally, after overthinking every single detail of your outfit, you got ready to go and went to the location Sara’s brother had sent you. Yes, Wonwoo himself sent you the address. don't be weird about it The location marked 30 minutes away, something you considered quite far, but tonight something like that didn't matter, this would be a different night. But how could you ignore the fact that when you got there, the neighborhood felt kinda sketchy? You quietly mumbled, “Thank god I don't have a car”.

You called Sara, so she would come outside to get you. Because as expected, you didn't know a single person in there and Dani was running late. But right, here's the fun of it all, getting to know people while you're here, also alcohol.

I mean you're only seventeen once, you might as well act like it. Tonight you get to be free of the anxious, stressed, overly responsible version of you.

Tonight you're just.. you.

After an hour Dani finally got there and brought her half-sister, you ran to hug them and started talking about what took them so long. They were in a café and ran late. You pouted “why didn't you take me??? I could've used a latte before I got here you so-called best friend.” Dani only laughed because she didn't want to say anything in front of her sister and Sara. Minutes later she hugged you again and whispered in your ear “You know that when we go out it's better if it's just you and me so shut up.”

And you giggled because it's true. Even though it's always been the three of you, Dani’s the kind of friend that’s always been there for you, she gives you the best advice, she makes you laugh all the time. You’ve always supported her through everything, the both of you have stayed with the other after all the bad times. She’s your main person.

It's not like Sara's not your best friend, but there was one time that she told you –totally out of the blue– that it seemed that you were a two-faced person. (what?) To be honest, you could never forget that.

Yet after all these years and after growing up together, you can safely say you love her very much when you're together, you have so much fun, you’re awed by how she’s able to make friends so easily. When you talk about life you both feel understood, being friends with her feels natural. Plus you’ve always had the same taste in music.

The party was getting crowded and now Sara wanted to play beer pong. You never understood how both Dani and Sara were always crazy to play that at every. single. party. Of course, it's because they were extremely good at it.

In your opinion, that game wasn't a big deal, but maybe that's because you weren't that good. But yeah, this time you got to play with Sara, and you're going to brag cause you were playing kinda good tonight. If the three wins in a row couldn't tell, I don't know what else would.

At this point, everything was exciting because you had started to talk with Wonwoo's friends, thanks to Sara being the baby sister and the ace at beer pong. All the guys you've played against said they let you both win all the rounds so you “two babies” wouldn't get drunk. right

That’s when Minghao came around.

This tall, cute dude. “He’s so cool oh my god. He's the coolest guy we’ve ever seen. DON’T STARE. BUT KEEP LOOKING” was all your head was saying. And now he was approaching you. Please no. “Terrible moment to be this person who can’t do small talk” Now your mind can't shut up. You’re gonna malfunction in front of him any second now.

But he turned out to be the nicest guy you’ve met. You didn’t expect this. His energy was so fun but at the same time quiet. You two just started talking about how you knew Sara, and him being one of Wonwoo's best friends, told you that she was also like a little sister to him.

He had already met Dani before and now wondered how he didn't get to meet you before. So, that's what he did, try to get to know you now that he had the chance.

Minutes passed, and now he was showing you his beer pong tricks. And it was so endearing, watching him get all focused on his throws, with the excuse of “properly teaching you his technique”. By now, you weren't even drinking, you two got wrapped in your world, getting to know each other. But that didn't last long.

You hadn't noticed that there was no one else in the yard anymore until Minghao pointed it out. So, you got inside the house and got welcomed to the weirdest vibe. Some guys were on a couch just watching everything unfold, others were trying to calm down the situation, while some were just eating. And then you noticed that Sara was having –what it seemed– like a serious conversation with her brother. When Minghao caught sight of this, he went straight to them.

Dani was just getting back inside the house cause her sister had to leave early, so you went to her and sat on the empty couch. “What happened here? Why does everything feel weird? And is Wonwoo okay?” you quietly asked your best friend, still glancing at your other best friend.

Dani started explaining. “I'm not sure, but I think I heard that something happened between Wonwoo's girlfriend and his best friend Jihoon” yikes.

You recognized the girlfriend because who else would be crying in the kitchen with her friends around her? Now Jihoon is someone that you had yet to identify, so naturally, you had to ask. You appreciated that Dani knew everyone in here. One of her many talents in life.

“So, who IS this Jihoon? He sounds awful” sorry but we need to know all the details in this drama

“He’s there on the couch with the other dude, Jihoon's the one with glasses that looks all gloomy, the other is Junhui and yeah, I really can't believe that someone would do that, poor Wonwoo, look at him” and you both discreetly turned to see his face.

Wonwoo looked pissed and hurt, with every right to be. In what world does your best friend even think about doing that to you? On your birthday? At your girlfriend’s house? WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND???

You don't like this Jihoon. At all.

The party had officially died. You were bored and wanted to leave now. Everyone was drunk, weird or crying, just plain uncomfortable. You tried to get Sara’s attention but the apologetic stare she just gave you made you understand that she couldn't leave her brother’s side.

However, Minghao had caught a glimpse of this and decided this was his last chance to spend more time with you before you left. His plan was made in roughly 3 seconds.

Taking into account that you told him earlier where you lived, he was going to offer you a ride home. Well, not in his car, it was Jihoon’s car. So, now all that's left to do is to make some quick introductions.

It wasn’t as if Minghao was in the best state to keep his cool and friendly side, considering what had happened between his two best friends, but Jihoon was still his ride, he could be angry at him tomorrow or later but not while you’re here.

“Hey you two,” he said as he was sitting in the arm of the couch both Dani and you were on. “Are you already planning to go?”

“Yeah, actually we were just waiting to see if we could talk with Sara, but I guess that’s not going to happen” Dani answered and somehow ended up in an awkward laugh from all three of you. “Right erm… don’t leave yet, just give me 5 minutes, I just want you to meet my friends over there.”

Oh. no. You don’t want to meet these guys. Well, the tall one doesn’t seem so bad but still. Fuck. There’s nothing you can do now, you’re already there getting introduced to them, just smile, he said just 5 minutes, you can keep it cool. They’re cute up close, shit.

“So, Jihoon” –Minghao started to get his plan on track– “I think we should all go. It’s kinda late already”

god everyone is so tense

Jihoon hadn’t even made eye contact with you, but whatever it’s not like you care. And actually, Junhui’s very nice, he’s good at making small talk and his smile is so pretty.

Jihoon started speaking “Uhh- I guess let’s go then, it’s not like we’re doing anything anymore so…” his tone was ice-cold. Can’t figure if he’s just rude or drunk or something entirely different. “Nice meeting you both,” he said, looking straight at you for a second. He got up immediately and Junhui followed him. Minghao almost shouted at you, “Do you have a ride home?”

“Oh we’re gonna take a cab so no need to worry about it.” you smiled at him as you stood up.

Minghao turned to Jihoon “Hey can we take them to their homes? We all practically live next to each other.” Jihoon seemed hesitant but the look Minghao gave him, shortly had him saying “Sure, let’s go.” After all, it was his last chance to do something right tonight.

Dani and you waved and sent goodbye kisses to Sara. You figured you could talk about everything tomorrow. Wonwoo turned his head to see who Sara was waving to, and you waved him goodbye too with an “I’m sorry” smile, and he understood because he returned it with a “Don’t worry” one.

What a weird night.

Dani, you and Minghao got into the back seat of Jihoon’s car, in that order. Junhui was in the front, still making conversation about everything. You suppose he’s being a good friend, trying not to make everyone think about what happened a few hours ago.

And now you’re 100 percent sure Jihoon is beyond drunk because he’s driving erratically. how did they let him drive in this state? You started getting nervous.

It’s not crazy to say that Minghao had sensed that you were feeling anxious, and he didn’t hesitate to grab your hand for comfort. His comfort mostly. Or maybe he just found the perfect excuse to take your hand in his. You quickly turned to him, and he just flashed you a cute smile. Then you looked down to see how your hands were intertwined, and he just held you tighter. He made you feel like everything was going to be okay.

Now you had stopped at a red light and noticed you were getting closer to Dani’s home.

Only God knows what came over you, the fact that you were in the middle of the car wasn’t helping either.

You reached out to tap Jihoon’s shoulder and got closer just for him to hear “Are you okay? We’re not in a rush you know?” Finishing with a cute smile. He didn’t get a chance to answer you cause the light turned green, but he felt calmer now. No one saw how you made him smile with a simple question.

You finally got to Dani’s house and said goodbye to the guys. Just as you were getting out of the car, Jihoon asked you specifically “Aren’t we going to get you home too?” You grinned and said, “Oh no, I’m staying here tonight with Dani”. His tone was still cold, but his words made you think he was somewhat friendly towards you. ”Are you sure? I don’t mind taking you” It was amusing how everyone in the car was looking at you expectantly, “Yes I’m sureee it’s already late you should get home”

And like that you and Dani got inside, the clock marking 3:00 am. Oh, so it’s late late.

You hadn’t noticed how sleepy you were until you got in bed and collapsed, Dani didn’t even change, and you didn’t remove your makeup. You also didn’t get the chance to see how the four boys you met tonight had added you on Facebook and followed you on Instagram.

Soon life will start to seem entirely different, exciting, and worthwhile. You can begin to hope to get rid of this lost feeling you’ve had all your life.

Valentine’s Day with the Haikyuu Boys

Various x Female Reader || Different Lover Tropes (sfw)

Iwaizumi Hajime (Friends to Lover Trope)

Y’all have been friends for as long as him and oikawa have been friends- but just a little more distant

You’re the person he goes to when he has girl problems or problems in general

So when he isn’t feeling particularly well about himself he goes to you.

He lays his head on your chest, your shoulder, your lap (usually 99% always your plush thighs)

He makes you play with his hair and his hands when he’s feeling sad because you care for him like no one else has (well, his mother but you know what I mean.)

But tell me why y’all haven’t dated. No one fucking knows. Not even oikawa.

So a few days before V-day you ask Iwa if he was a valentines and he says No and questions why you asked him.

You tell him not to worry and plan out everything

HE’S SO SO EMBARRASSED WHEN YOU BRING HIM A SINGLE WHITE ROSE A HOMEMADE CHOCOLATES

He’s like? “W-why? Why’d you do that?”

and you obviously have the tsundure qualities he has so your like “B-because i like you stupid!!! Now are you taking the damn gift or not? I know Oikawa would-”

He’s like- NO NO. Stop right there. “Give me that! SHITYKAWA WOULDNT APPRECIATE THIS THE WAY I WOULD!” Iwa is barking at this point

You: “FINE! THEN! TAKE IT- NOT LIKE I CARE!”

whole school it just watching you guys romantically bark at eachother

Iwa: “FINE! THIS MEANS WE’RE DATING, RIGHT?”

You: “YES.”

Iwa: “GOOD.”

You: “GREAT.”

it’s so awkward the whole day. like grossly awkward. but the tension dies down when you sit next to him during lunch and slowly caress the back of his hand the way you did when you weren’t dating

he’s glad you opened up to him because it would have taken him much longer to admit that he liked you

Time Skip Iwaizum Hajime 

Buys you a bouquet of 23 white roses the day before valentine’s day to give you the twenty-fourth on valentine’s day. He does this every year now.

You guys invite friends over because as (almost) 30 years old you think it’s a little cheesy, Hajime acts like its Valentines Day every day. So when Matsukawa and Hanamaki come over, they get really drunk and they appreciate you guys for not being lovey dovey around them and they start sobbing and laughing bc they’re single.

This becomes a tradition but ofc, sometime iwa calls ahead of time to tell them not to come over for... certain reasons.

He’s probably the cheesiest man on earth because he does not romance well- neither do you but he tries his best.

Would probably ask you to marry him on valentines day if you hadn’t told him before hand “If you even think about proposing on valentines day- I will rip out your organs... Ugh- thats so cheesy, everyone gets engaged on valentines day... Do it like the morning after new years or sum...”

*iwa secretly putting a red velvet box back in his underwear drawer* 

*laughing nerveously* “Hahaha, right- fucking stupid...”

You look at him blankly “Don’t tell me you where about to propose?”

Iwa: “NO! NOT AT ALL.”

You: “What are you hiding in your underwear drawer then, Hajime?”

Iwa: “NOTHING WOMAN, STOP BEING NOSY.”

Osamu Miya (Platonic)

You look so pretty when you come into the gym and everyones like “looking good y/n.” and it’s normal bc your their manager- ofc they’d hype you up.

But the closer they get, they notice your crying.

Osamu isn’t in the gym, he’s getting water in the back and he sees that Aran is holding you in his arms and he just knows something is wrong and everyone is trying to hold him back because he knowns exactly what happened. He’s calling Atsumu over and he’s ready.

Everyone is chasing them down and Osamu already has his guy pinned to the floor (lets just say he has baseball practice)

You’re rushing to get Osamu off but get gets a few swings in before you completely pull him off.

Samu: “You’re too good for this Idiot anyway.” he looks at Kita, “I’m ditching practice and I’m taking her out, I’m not taking no as an answer.”

It was the first time anyone has stood up to Kita and he just nods.

Samu: “Let me wash up, alright? I’ll take you somewhere nice.”

He kisses your forehead and runs your thumb on your cheek, “Stop crying, makes you look ugly.”

As much you wanted to frown, you bursted out a laugh before shoving him away, “Not as ugly as Atsumu.”

Time Skip Osamu Miya (Boss/Employee Trope)

Osamu calls you really early in the morning to ask you to work on valentines day. For some reason, he hates this day more than anything. He doesn’t like how girls (of all ages) bring him stuff and he ALWAYS has to reject them but now since your working you’re the the ones who kicks them out.

He loves watching you run them away with a sweet smile and when you turn around you have the most annoyed look on your face, it’s really cute.

Samu: “Thank you princess.”

You: “Yeah, shut up and get to cookin’ boss.”

He just smirks and tilts his little onigiri hat and starts on orders again

Once the shift is over and the restaurant is closed, cleaned and organized, you’re waiting for him at one of the tables you didn’t pick up yet and he brings you out a really cute meal.

You: “What’s this for?”

Samu: “A thank you, for- *clears throat* not leaving my side... and I-uh don’t want you to do so, any time soon.”

You’re looking at him blankly. He forgot how blunt he had to be with you.

Samu: “I- God, I’m trying to ask you to be my girlfriend.”

You: “OH! Oh my god.... Really? Are you sure?”

Samu: “Y/n, I- You’re lucky I love you....”

You: “L-Love me?”

He looks at you like a deer caught in the headlights... “Uh-I uh... crap- I didn’t mean-”

You: “Shut up and kiss you Idiot.”

Samu: “Okay- yeah good idea.”

Matsukawa Issei (Best Friends Older Sister || First Love Trope) @sloppykyuu

You’re only two years older than him but ever since he became friends with Hanamaki (around the age of 7) he came over once and you bumped into him and he blushed to the point he looked like a cherry tomato

Maki thought it was gross that he suddenly started liking his older step sister

You and Hanamaki get along really well now (You’re 18, making Maki and Matsun are 16), so whenever Matsukawa is around you jokingly called him “Nii-san.” When Hanamaki wasn’t there and he spit out his drink. 

You laughed so hard and just ruffled his hair a little and left him alone for the rest of the day

Ofc you teased him a lot but the second you turned 18, they cooled down a lot. 

So when he gives you a bouquet of Sakurasou (Primula Sieboldii, which signify desire and long lasting love. 

Matsukawa: “ Please accept the flowers- I know you’ve been keeping your distance because of your age and you don’t have to accept my feelings for you but please accept these flowers.”

The sweetest boy you’ll ever meet ngl, “Thank you Matsun...” you gave him a kiss on the cheek and ruffled his hair. “As me again when you’re older, yeah? I’ll always be willing to give you a chance.”

Timeskip Matsukawa Issei

When he turns 18, you weren’t single. He was so miserable watching you be happy but when you come home a little sad looking, Hanamaki and him are pretty confused when you tell them that YOU broke up with your boyfriend

Maki: “Everything was going alright with you guys- what happened?”

You: “I uh- I lost feelings... Nothing against him or anything, I just... just happen to like someone else now.”

You don’t look at Matsukawa so he’s like- ugh.... another guy? he’s heartbroken just a little.

3 years later when both of you got drunk when Maki was out for a valentines day date- Matsun was like, “Admit it already, you’ll never find a guy who dedicates to you the way I have.”

You’re a blushing mess since your drunk and you just pin him to the floor, a little teary eyed, “Maybe your right... Maybe I should give you your chance. You’re still so in love with me? After all this time?”

He brushes a strand of hair away from your face and smiles, “Of course I have... You I would have lasted being friends with Maki if it weren’t for you?”

Maki: “I HEARD THAT!”

Both of you laugh but you lay your body on him as he wrapped his arms around you, kissing your forehead as your step brother grimaced at the sight. “Took both of you long enough, disgusting...”

 Ushijima Wakatoshi (Reunion Romance Trope)

You’ve known Ushijima the longest out of everyone, even Tendo. And every year you ask him to be your valentines and he agrees bc your friends.

From the start it was always a friendly thing but at some point, your feelings for him changed during high school.

You don’t tell him, you never dared because you know his dedication towards volleyball would always go before his feelings.

One day you’re down the hall from his class and you notice that he’s talking to a girl- or more the girl is talking to him, so you hide in the corner. She was offering him a box of chocolates but he politely denies by saying “There’s only one girl who’s allowed to be my valentines, but please don’t take this personally, she mean’s everything to me.”

D-did you just here that right? Your leaning against the wall and sliding your back all the way to the floor, blushing like a mad woman.

So when Ushijima walks down the hall and sees a small figure to his side, he’s really worried as to why you are on the floor looking hot. “Y/n? Are you alright? Do you have a fever?” 

THIS MAN DOES NOT PUT HIS HAND ON YOUR FOREHEAD BUT HE PUTS HIS OWN AGAINST YOURS 

You’re trying so heard not to breathe onto his face but then he looks into your eyes when hes doing this and you shove his gift onto his chest. “PLEASE GET OUT OF MY FACE AND J-JUST TAKE THEM, IM FINE...” His warm fingers graze your for a second when he takes the chocolates and you just can’t do it anymore “I N-NEED TO GO NOW, BYE TOSHI- WAKATOSHI.”

Doesn’t question you, like ever.

During graduation you tell everyone that you are leaving over seas and Toshi honestly looks like a kicked puppy- his best friends, they’re all leaving. 

You’re crying into his arms when he’s dropping you off at the airport.

Timeskip Ushijima Wakatoshi

7 years. It’s been 7 years since wakatoshi has see your pretty face. 

You send a valentines post card and somehow it always gets there a day before, the day after or sometimes- even on valentines day.

You forced him to give you his address when he moves every time bc you send him a basket of goods. Usually a fruit arrangements bc you know he has a sweet tooth for fruits covered in chocolate- even tho he doesn’t really understand them

But this year nothing has arrived yet, until you text him to open the door since something was dropped off.

He’s a little confused as to why you noticed him but he opened the door, and there you where- standing right in front of him with luggage and his yearly valentines gift. 

“You’re looking at me like you’ve seen a ghost?”

He doesn’t say anything but pull you into a hug.

“...I missed you too big guy.”

After several, long virtual calls- he finally got to see you in person.

He pulls you back and looks a little upset.

You: “What? What’d I do?”

Toshi: “I might have sent flowers to your home.”

You low key wanna start crying, “What kind of flowers?”

WHYD YOU ASK THAT, HE LOOKS ALL FLUSTERED NOW, PLZ TELL HIM THAT YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW

Toshi: “Um.... anarrangementoftwentyfourwhiterosesbecauseiwantedtotellyouhowifeltbutididntknowhowtodoitanyotherwayandididntwanttodoitthroughacomputerscreen.”

You: “I hope you know, I understood every single word you just said.”

You give him a soft smile and lean down to pick something up that was covered by your bags. A bouquet of 24 white roses.

You: “I think... I feel the same way.”

He has never wanted to kiss someone so bad.

Toshi:“May I kiss you?”

You: “Do you really have to ask?”

Sakusa Kiyoomi  (Enemies To Lovers || Secret Admirer Trope)

You probably get 20 confessions on valentines day every year, every time it’s the same handwriting and sometimes it’s new.

But one day, a specific letter get’s into your desk instead of your locker, a black envelope with a white pearly wax stamp with silver lettering on the back “From your secret admirer :]”

The smiley face is a little distorted and you smile at it, but it turns into a scowl when Sakusa naps it from your fingertips. Luckily it was lunch and not may people where in this class. “Secret admirer? Who’d like your dumbass.”

You pull the note out of his hands and sit back down, “Maybe a bigger dumbass, now leave alone asshole.”

He rolls his eyes and sits on his desk, that just happens to be at your back left.

He noticed the smile you had on your lips when you sat back down and looked at the letter. He could tell that your mood had changed when you leaned back and read the letter with awe. He obviously couldn’t tell you in was him.

If he did, you’d probably think it was a joke. But it was nothing like that, he never meant to create an awful relationship between you to but he had made a nasty joke about you and you happen to overhear and have disliked him every since.

He’s kept the bully act ever since and now doesn’t know how to go back.

You looked giddy all day after reading the love letter he left for you, he didn’t know how to feel.

He never stopped sending the letters.

Around the third year, they began to stop and so did Sakusas bullying- but only because you didn’t have any classes together. So when one day you’re walking towards your locker, really late because you had to clean up the classroom. You see him slide a letter in your locker. 

You don’t confront him right then and there but you decide to let him walk a way just a little before you quickly get to your locker and open the letter.

You scan over the letter and you see that famous distorted smiley face and all the feelings they had written down. You where furious.

“Hey Sakusa!” You somehow where able to catch up to him and pushed his back as he walked away. “Is this funny to you?! Is messing with people’s feelings fucking funny to you?”

When he turned around he didn’t expect to see you crying, so he just stood like a deer caught in the headlights. 

“Answer me! Why’d you do this? Three years, three fucking years I thought this was someone who actually had feelings for me, someone I thought I could fall in love with myself but I guess this was just some joke right? Some prank? Who wrote these? You know what- It doesn’t even matter. Fuck you and your fucking letter.” You shoved the letter at his chest and push him in the process.

 He freezes a little but he’s running to catch up with you, “Y/n! Y/n stop walking away. L-Let me explain. Y/N!” He’s able to snatch your wrist and pull you towards him.

The tears are still running down your cheeks and his heart is shattering. “It wasn’t a joke. It- it was never a joke, never a dare. I promise, every word in those letters, are what I truly feel.”

You: “Bull- How do I even know that you wrote them in the first place, you can just be the messenger.”

Oomi: “If you put every letter together, it spells my name.”

You roll your eyes at him. 

Oomi: “Don’t believe me?

You: “Of course I don’t.”

“Fine, umm.....”

Both of you didn’t really notice how his hand was still wrapped around your wrist. “Every time I just happen to catch a glance at you when you aren’t looking, it seems like peace on earth... There is no other sight i’d rather see then to see you smile at me, at me only. I want you to look at me the way you look at them but I know in my heart that it will take years for you to look at me that way.”

You pull your wrist away from his hand and wipe your face clean from the tear that have dried down.

“The day you heard me make fun of you... I don’t have any excuses for it. I did it and I regret it and- and I’m so sorry.”

You shake your head and begin to laugh... “I don’t even want to believe you.”

“I know, I just please let me make it up to you.”

Timeskip Sakusa Kiyoomi

You: “Oomi, I thought you hated valentines day.”

Oomi: “I do, but you deserve flowers because I was an asshole for so long.”

You: “... that was like 8 years ago...”

Oomi “Your point?

He hands you over the flowers and gives you a soft kiss. “You deserve so much more, and every day I will give you more, understand?”

You begin to giggle mid kiss, “Yes sir.”

Oomi: “Do you still have those letters?”

You: “Of course, I read them every time your gone.”

saudade: a nostalgic longing to be near again to something or someone that is distant, or that has been loved and then lost; “the love that remains”

Y/N Oikawa, Toru Oikawa’s baby sister, manager of the Aoba Johsai Volleyball Club, stand-in libero, spiker, blocker, setter, and Tobio “The King of the Court” Kageyama’s former best friend. After Kageyama replaces your childhood friendship with volleyball, you vow to forget all about him. However, you forget three very important things: 1.) You won’t be able to avoid Kageyama forever 2.) Kageyama wants you back in his life and 3.) Tobio Kageyama will do anything to get what he wants.

Y/n’s texts are in light mode, Kageyama’s are in dark mode!

a/n: I love how this chapter turned out. It’s probably my favorite in the whole series. I’m gonna put a bit of background in the fun facts below!

You took your time walking to the dock at the park by your house. The past few days had been nice; getting a chance to be in your own head and sort out how you were feeling without any expectations was refreshing. Subconsciously, you knew what your decision would be. There was no doubt about it. You would not lose Kageyama when you had just gotten him back.

Yet, you still had your reservations. It was obvious that he cared for you, and maybe even loved you like he said he did, but there were still so many things that were left unresolved after your fight. You were both going to have to be brutally honest with each other for this to work.

You knew that you and Kageyama would be able to do it. Growing up, you were always completely honest with each other, telling one another things that you wouldn't dare whisper about around anyone else. So many secrets, even if many of them were just childish jokes that you thought were special at the time.

You sat down on the dock and reminisced on one of your most treasured memories.

Kageyama kissed you for the first and only time the summer before middle school started. You were both still kids, with a lot to learn about each other and the world. Your summer together had been picture-perfect; every kid's dream. You spent long, hot days biking to the park, playing volleyball in the grass and hopping into the lake to cool off. The summer was starting to wind down, but it was a day just like any other that summer. Kageyama had biked to your house that morning to pick you up, and you spent hours tossing the volleyball back and forth over an old net in the park. You ate sandwiches your mom had made the night before and ate popsicles from the gas station down the street. It was mid-afternoon and the sun was beating down when Kageyama suggested a swim. You were eager to cool off and ran off to the dock with him chasing you. You arrived first, and Kageyama pretended to push you off before pulling you back at the last minute. You had shrieked, drawing the attention of several people before Kageyama pushed you for real. You sputtered as you resurfaced, shaking your wet hair and yelling at Kageyama who was still dry on the dock above you. He just grinned as you grabbed his ankle and pulled him down. When he reemerged from the lake, he was sporting a softer grin that you didn't see very often. You were about to ask him what was wrong, but were caught by surprise when he pressed his lips against yours. You thought it was like any other typical childhood first kiss, just a momentary crash of lips before you both pulled away. He was embarrassed, and you didn't understand why. He apologized profusely as you both dried off and went back to the court, and you told him not to worry about it. You didn't think it was that big of a deal.

It's a funny thing, how memories change and adapt as you get older. You remembered thinking nothing of the kiss, after all, you were just kids. Now, however, you felt as if it was one of your core memories. You couldn't remember when you first fell in love with Kageyama, but now, looking back, maybe it was then.

They always say that childhood crushes and first loves lasting are things of fiction, but you like to believe otherwise. Maybe it was fate that put you and Kageyama together, maybe you were meant to be nothing but friends. Maybe you existed to complete one another, like how setters needed spikers. Maybe you were meant to fall in love. Maybe you were meant to be inseparable from this point on. Maybe there wasn't anything that was meant to be. Maybe it was up to you two to make something happen.

You started the trek back to your house, still deep in thought. You climbed to the top of the grassy hill in your backyard and laid on your back. The last time you were up here, you were thinking about spending the rest of your life without Kageyama by your side. Now, you felt as if you might have another chance.

You could have him by your side again. You could finish high school together and spend the summers together, just like the good old days. You could cheer for him at Nationals. You could watch him get scouted and graduate together. You could go to his first professional game and cheer him on. You could travel the world with him. You could go on adventure after adventure together and accomplish all of your goals. You could be with him for every high and every low. You could be with him for his first professional tournament, his first Olympics, and his last professional game. You could spend the rest of your lives together.

You could be with him while he achieved all his wildest dreams.

All you ever wanted was to see him get everything he ever dreamed of.

Your decision was made. It had been made for a long time. There were no other options, no one else for you in this big world. It was only you and Kageyama.

It always had been.

FUN FACTS:

this chapter is heavily inspired by my own experience with “young love” (lol I feel so weird saying that) anyways, my bf and I grew up together and he wrote me a love note in elementary school, and now, years later, we live together with two dogs and a cat. it’s always been funny to me how things work out, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

thank you so much for your patience with this late chapter! I had some frustrating family drama pop up so I wasn't able to finish it until today. Enjoy!

“Lucy, Lucy, Lucy!” Levy plops onto the couch next to her friend. She grabs the blondes arm and shakes it. “Omg you won’t believe what happened today at school!”

“What? What? The teacher you hate croaked?”

“Pfft, I wish. No! I met Natsu’s roommate! Well, technically I’ve known the guy for like a year from school, we were lab partners, remember Gray, I think I mentioned him, anyways, yeah, he totally gave me all the details I wanted to know!”

But at the name Natsu, Lucy frowns and sits back. “Lev, you know I just wanna move on from this...”

“Just hear me out, I promise it’ll be worth it.” She leans in, “trust me.”

Lucy rolls her eyes. “Okay, fine. Spill. What did Gray have to say?”

“So... starting with that Touka chick. Everything Natsu said was true. You’re not the first girl she’s harassed over him, in fact he offered to contact the other girl if you’d like to ask the person yourself.”

“That’s not necessary, I believe it.”

“He also confirmed that the profiles you saw on Ig are fake and how she’s been stalking him for a couple years now.”

“So Gray’s just his roommate?”

“No, he said they’ve been friends since middle school, so he knows Natsu well.”

“Anything else?”

“The stuff he told you about his family are true. Um, he works at a place called Yousei Mart, and that he’s an idiot but a good guy that is just really naive sometimes. The more he talked, the more I remembered him mentioning his roommate before. Like venting about stuff. Anyway, he said Natsu’s been completely distressed over all this and he thinks you should give his friend a second chance. I think so too, Lu, cause I believed him that Natsu’s a great guy and this whole Touka business is just unfortunate.”

The blonde pulls her legs up onto the couch, wraps her arms around them and rests her chin on her knees, thinking about everything she’d learned. Did she really want to deal with the baggage? What if Touka continues to harass her or them? It would be unfortunate to lose a guy like Natsu, because he really did seem like one of the good guys. She pulls up the memories of him on the train when he’d cornered her... ‘he was really devastated...’ and to do what he’d done, the amount of time he spent chasing and waiting for her, he must really like her to go that far.

“Well, Lu? What do you think?”

She’d definitely be using a higher standard to judge him, so he’ll need to be very convincing to gain her trust a second time, but, “I guess it couldn’t hurt to give him another chance.”

“Then there’s just one last thing for you to do.”

“Ugh,” she groans, “call him.” Lucy picks up her phone and dials Natsu’s number, but he doesn’t pick up. So, she hangs up without leaving a message. She made the first call, now it was his turn to respond if he wanted a second chance.

Approximately thirty minutes later an out-of-breath Natsu is on the phone. “Sorry Lucy! I was in class and the teacher is a real dick about cellphones.” He’d literally run out the room the second the lecture was over to call her back.

“It’s fine, I thought that might be the case.”

“Did you wanna talk to me about something?”

“Yeah, first have you spoken to your roommate at all today?”

“Um... no, why is something wrong with him?”

“Well, in that case...” she pauses and takes a deep breath. “So, turns out your roommate and my roommate have a class together, actually have had several, so they know each other and today they talked about us.”

“Really...” guess he’ll be calling Gray after this phone call!

“Look, bottom line is I believe my friend and since she believes your roommate about you and that girl... I’ll give you another chance. But remember! It’s not because I trust you yet it’s because I trust them.”

“I’ll take it! I understand totally and I promise I’ll do anything to prove to you that you can trust me.”

“I mean, I’m not sure how, but...”

“Um...” Natsu thinks fast, “are you busy right now?”

“Now? Um, not really...”

“I gotta run or I’ll be late for work, but can you meet me at Yousei Mart near Haramachi park as soon as you can?”

“Why?”

“Please?? I’ll buy you dinner too for coming.”

‘Ugh...’ “Okay, I’ll get ready and head over.”

“Thank you!! I’m just really happy you’re giving me a chance Lucy. Okay, I’ll see you soon!”

Lucy hangs up the phone and lets her roommate know she was heading out to see Natsu. The location he’d asked her to go to was several blocks away and takes her 20 minutes to get there. So, as she walked, she did her best to keep her cool. Half of her was thrilled to try again while the other half still apprehensive. Natsu had sounded so excited too, she could almost picture the man doing a victory dance the moment they’d ended the phone call. But where was this place that he wanted her to go to? She knew it was like a convenience store, maybe that’s where he works? Must be if he’d said he needed to get to work and still wanted to see her.

“Irasshaimase!” Lucy hears as she enters the store. A bit odd for a convenience store, but welcoming, nonetheless. She’s greeted by an employee, a red headed woman.

“May I help you find anything?”

“Actually, I’m here to see Natsu. He asked me to come.”

“Oh! You must be Lucy! Please, follow me,” the woman gestures, “he’s in the back working on inventory. My name is Erza by the way and we’ve heard a lot about you.”

“Really?” Hopefully nothing bad...

“Oh, yes. The pretty blonde he met on a train. The guy can’t shut up about you,” Erza laughs. “It was just weird, well new because we’ve never seen him so excited over a girl before.”

Lucy blushes from the compliment. “How long have you worked with Natsu?”

“Hmm, four years, I think. He started when he was still in high school, but I’ve been here a little longer.” They reach the back area and find Natsu hunched over some boxes tagging items. “Here he is, Natsu, your friend Lucy is here.”

“It’s okay for me to be back here?”

“I don’t see why not,” the woman shrugs. “We’re a pretty tight-knit crew here, like a family, so it’s also pretty lax how things are run.”

“Oh. Okay, thank you Erza.”

“You’re welcome. Stay as long as you like.”

Once the woman goes back to the front, Lucy turns to Natsu who was waiting patiently. “Well, I’m here. What did you want me to see?”

“That was part of it,” he smiles. “You said you didn’t know if you could trust me, so what could be better than introducing you to people who know me best. And people like Erza, she’s got no problem telling it like she sees it. If I was an asshole, she would have been the first to tell you to run away.”

“Yeah, she mentioned you’ve been co-workers for a few years. She seems nice, but I can see what you mean cause she looks tough too.”

Natsu laughs, “that’s an understatement. Oh! Come with me,” he grabs her hand and pulls her along, “gramps is still in the office, so you should meet him!”

“Gramps?”

“He’s the owner. Real name’s Makarov but he tells us to call him Gramps. He really is like a grandfather figure to us. Gave me a job at 17 and I’ve loved every minutes being here!”

She follows along, allowing him to hold her hand. Lucy couldn’t lie that his larger hand was nice and warm, and it felt snug and secure together. ‘Stick to your guns woman!’ She chides herself in an effort to fight the emotions bubbling to the surface. What was it about this man’s damn smile that made her heart thump!

Natsu knocks on the doorframe before going in. “Gramps! There someone I want you to meet.”

The older make looks up from his paperwork. “What is it brat, I’m busy here.”

“Be nice old man, this is that girl Lucy I told you about.”

“Oh... the elusive Lucy you’ve sold your soul for.” He snickers. “Welcome, my dear, it’s nice to finally meet the woman who wrangle our Natsu.”

“W-Wrangle?” She sputters. “I’m not sure what you’re talking about. We barely had one date.”

“I’ve known this kid for a few years and he’s never so much as looked at a woman. I thought he was gay for the longest time till you came along.” He grins. “And by the looks of you, he lucked into a good one.”

The blush on Lucy’s face increases. “I don’t know about that. I mean I’m nothing special.”

“Lucy,” Makarov leans into his desk, “may I call you Lucy?” Once she nods, he continues. “Never sell yourself short if someone gives you a compliment. Take it from this old geezer, when a man is willing to give you his heart, that means you’re pretty special in their eyes.”

She had nothing else to say against such logic. “Thank you, gramps.”

“You’re very welcome,” he smiles. “Now get out, I have work to do.”

For a few more hours, Lucy hangs out with Natsu in the back while he works, and as promised, he buys her a bento dinner from the restaurant next door. Throughout the evening, his co-worker Erza and one more named Mira drops by to check on them or add to the conversation. She learned a lot about him from them because they were not shy about embarrassing the man. It was hilarious!

But best of all, Mira is the sister of the girl who was harassed by Touka. According to the woman, Touka had started off with the same tactics when she’d thought Natsu was seeing her sister Lisanna. Showing up, trying to talk to her, coming off all sweet and innocent. But Lisanna had a boyfriend who eventually scared the girl off. With Mira’s help, Lucy could finally be confident that Natsu had been telling the truth all along.

When the store closes, Natsu insists on walking Lucy home due to the late hour. He pays for them to take the train to make it a faster and safer trip. So, once settled in their seats, she sighs and turns to him. “I believe you now,” her voice is kept soft and low from the other travelers. “You were telling me the truth.”

It was like a wave of relief washes over him, but in that moment, it wasn’t time for an I told you so, so he just grins. “Movie date next?”

Awaited encounter~ part 11

A knock on the door made me stir awake. My blue eyes settled on the door at the front of the room while it opened at a slow rate. A mop of pure brown hair came into view, next light green eyes. “Good morning Akashi, all the other kids woke up already. Are you feeling any better?”

I turned to face the woman, my feet hanging off the hard bed I’ve been sleeping in for months. “Yes Marry, I just feel a little sick that’s all.” I replied while tilting my head towards the window.

With a tiny smile, the woman nodded and walked into the room. She placed a plastic tray on the communal desk and took a seat in one of the other beds. I have been in an orphanage for almost half a year.

The transition between having everything and having nothing was still taking it’s toll on me. Though… I still have something.

“Would you like me to stay with you today Akashi?” Marry asked me. Marry is the head of the orphanage, she is a very nice woman who treats kids well. All the workers here are nice, it makes my dim situation a little brighter.

The place is small, with only seven or so kids crowding the area. The kids here seem ok as well, but of course none have my attention.

“No, it’s ok, I like being alone.” I muttered back. Marry gave me a worried look, it’s the same look she has been giving me since I first came here. She placed her hand on my mostly white hair and stroked it.

The shock of my parents’ death caused my raven locks to turn white. Slowly, the white hair is being pushed out by my black roots. I kinda like the look though… It reminds me of a certain someone.

Marry removed her hand, her eyes straining to hold back tears. She cleared her throat, “ah yes of course.” Her loss of weight made the bed shift as she headed towards the door.

Before she left, she gave me one more glance. “Akashi… there is someone interested in adopting you.”

The news made a sudden pain spark in my stomach. It felt as if someone took my stomach and churned the acids out of it. Marry flinched, but before she could run to my aid, I spoke. “Later. Let’s talk about this later.”

After that, the brunette left me alone with my thoughts. I sat by the window, watching the sun inch across the sky. A few kids would pass by my window. Either to get a ball or because they were playing tag around the large house.

When night came, the kids returned to the room, a few spoke to me. I was too tired to be snippy. I guess to them I looked sick, pale, getting closer and closer to death.

I hated it. I hated the pity and attention they gave me. Every second of it.

Soon enough, everyone went to their designated beds to sleep. I stayed on mine, staring at the same window. Marry thinks I do this because the night sky attracts me, but it wasn’t the night sky.

A pair of golden orbs reflected in the glass. I blinked a few times before realizing who it was. With shaky hands, I opened the window. Everyone was asleep so I had to be as quiet as possible.

Soft winds pressed against my face, causing my eyes to squeeze shut. “Kou…” I mumbled while opening them. The gray-haired boy smiled at me, “are you coming or what?”

With an eager nod, I crawled out the window and stepped outside. Me and Kou have been sneaking out ever since I’ve gotten here. The fact that the two of us haven’t been caught yet is a miracle.

We only explore outside on the weekends, so Kou won’t be too tired for school. I stumbled on the grass, trying to muster up the strength to walk. “Akashi… are you ok?”

“Yes.” I huffed out once I was stable. “Do you want to go to the lake?” Kou nodded with a smile. The both of us skipped across the dead road.

Kou talked my ear off as he always did. He talked about his sisters, his mom. Kou loves his mom more then anything. After his dad passed away about a year ago, he got especially close with his mom.

The both of us took a seat on the edge of the lake. Stars flooded the sky, reflecting on the crystal-clear water of the lake. Small flowers swayed in the cool breeze while fireflies flew past us.

“What’s with that look Kou?” I asked when I realized his stare. Kou blinked a few times before reaching down to touch my head. His touch has felt different ever sense the car crash. I bet it’s because of how sick I’ve been feeling.

Kou rested his body next to mine, not taking his hand off my head. “I- I love your hair Akashi.”

I blushed a bit before pulling at a string of my locks. It was down to my shoulders since I never bother to cut it. “Oh…” Even though the white in my hair is caused by the pain I suffered all those months ago. I can’t get over the fact it reminds me of Kou’s.

“Yes… I think you look beautiful.” My eyes widen at the smile Kou made when saying those words. It made my body tremble with an emotion I couldn’t place.

A finger swiped over my cheek, smudging a tear I didn’t realize fell. “It’s a good thing Akashi. Don’t cry over it.”

Kou’s words only made more tears swell in my eyes. I get compliments about my looks all the time, but from Kou it’s different. I don’t know why it’s different. Why it makes my nerves flare and my stomach tighten. It just does.

Soft hairs tickled my neck when Kou laid his head on my shoulder. “I don’t like when you cry Akashi, even if it’s happy tears. It’s because I care about you so much.” The gray-haired boy settled his arm on my shoulder while he continued to speak.

“I care about you a lot, Akashi… more than anything you know? I want to keep you safe, but I couldn’t do that. I know you think it’s stupid… it is stupid but. Sometimes I feel like your accident, with your parents… I blame it on me. I know what you’re thinking, I know what you’re going to say. But I do, ok?”

My tears dried on my cheeks as I let Kou talk. I don’t blame him for the accident, none of it is his fault. If anything, the reason I am here today is because of Kou. He is the only reason I am still standing.

“What do you think that means Kou?” I asked, interrupting him suddenly. The gray-haired boy rose a brow, “what?”

I tilted my head towards the stars, taking in their beautiful glow. “If there is something in this world you can’t live without, what is that called?”

Kou hesitated before answering, “I don’t know Akashi, you’re suppose to be the vabulary person.”

“Vocabulary.” I corrected with a small smile.

“See?!” Kou laughed, pulling me closer to him.

“I see. What if you needed something so much that it hurts when you’re not around it? This is a vague explanation, but can you name something in your life that is like that? Maybe a bond.” I asked, turning my head towards Kou for his answer.

The gray-haired boy rubbed his chin with his free hand with a puzzled expression. “I hurt when I’m not around my sisters, when I’m not around my mom.”

My smile grew, “see I think that’s lov-“

“I also hurt when you aren’t around.” Kou finished. My body froze, staring at Kou with a bewildered expression. “Wh-what? You do too?”

Kou looked down at me, “of course. I miss you a lot even though we see each other often. When I am far from you, I hurt. Do you hurt when I am not around you?”

“W-well not exactly.” I mumbled with embarrassment creeping on my cheeks.

Kou frowned, his eyes falling towards the ground. “Oh...”

The pain in his voice made my stomach tighten. “Yes.” I admitted, biting my lip and hoping It would cheer him up. It was true, whenever Kou leaves me, it feels like the colors in the world dim. Sometimes it scares me.

“You love me Akashi?” Kou asked. His golden eyes glowed in excitement. He pulled my body closer to his, making a surprised gasp leave my lips. “Don’t say it too loud.” I whispered.

Kou chuckled, “I love you too.” Those words lifted a weight off my chest. I sighed in relief before closing my eyes and letting Kou hug me for just a little longer.

A few minutes past and I decided to go back to the house. Bokuto walked me to it. I couldn’t go through the window I came out of, it’s too high. There is a window in the hallway that I can squeeze through.

Bokuto normally follows me in until we reach the bedrooms. Somehow, he never gets caught.

Both of us came into the house carefully, but I noticed a light was on. Curiosity got the better of me. I pressed my back against the wall and saw Marry talking to another older woman. Marry handed the woman a file, the file had my name on it.

“He’s a great kid.” Marry stated. Her smile turned into a sad one when the woman took the papers from her hand. “But.”

But? Now my attention was fully locked in. I could feel Bokuto pull against the sweater I was wearing but I wouldn’t budge. For some reason, I couldn’t look away.

“After the accident he had some mental damage along with his physical.” The room in the air grew stale as the stranger holding my papers placed them to the side. “The voice?” She asked.

Marry nodded, “even after six months… Keiji… still hears a voice. Sometimes I can even see him talking to it. But… no matter how hard I try to look and see who he’s talking to, no one is ever there.”

“What?” Marry’s head snapped to my direction. Her sad expression was replaced by pure horror. She jittered out of her seat, as well as the woman sitting across from her. “Keiji? How- why are you still up?”

My lips quivered as I turned my head to face Kou, “Y-You can’t see him?” I shot my finger in Kou’s direction before turning back to Marry. Her eyes wandered around but they couldn’t land on Kou.

That is when everything clicked in my head at once. Why Kou has never been caught, how we were able to sneak around so much. Why his touch feels so different.

I stepped back away from Kou subconsciously. All this information made my head throb.

“Keiji please calm down.” Kou said. The more I stared at him, the more I saw the truth. Kou’s body seemed to fade in front of my eyes. Now the boy I knew for years, my only best friend… the only person I had left looked like a ghost.

“of course. I miss you a lot even though we see each other often. When I am far from you, I hurt.”

Those words were fake?

“I care about you a lot, Akashi… more than anything you know?”

Those words were fake….

“I love you too.”

No one said those words.

Everything came together… and I wish it never did. “Get away from me!” I screamed, not just towards Kou but towards everyone. I couldn’t even open my eyes; I was too scared I would see Kou vanish completely.

“Go away! Go away! Leave me alone!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, covering my ears as my body fell to the ground.

The pain in my head grew as I thought back to the past six months. All of it was a lie. None of it was real. My frame jerked multiple times as I felt my consciousness slip away. I could hear Marry’s voice screaming to call 911. I could hear the rumble of other people’s footsteps as they entered the room.

But I didn’t want to hear that, I didn’t want to hear any of it. I only wanted to hear one person. The one person I still had left in this world. I wanted to hear the one person I still loved. But I couldn’t

He is gone… and I’ll never be able to hear him say those words to me ever again.

Sera with the Members

a/n: mark is in this because dream is now a fixed unit and he’s part of the lineup!!!!!!

WATERMELON ADDICT

was the person who made Sera comfortable since he reminded her of home

always asks if canadian bacon is better than american bacon

‘i dONt kNoW, sERa! mEAT iS mEaT!’

she didnt actually cry on stage when he was leaving but she cried when it was just the two of them and he recorded for the last time

it was her idea for hyuck to buy him a big bottle of ketchup

CANNOT believe that mark was a churchboy and ends up acting up in music videos

the duality SCARES her

calls her finny since her name is serafina

sera has her own room but she has an extra bed so he sleeps in there when he spends the night

learned this watermelon shake to help mark’s hangover

english all the time

ever since they met, mark has always placed his elbow on her head due to her short height

sera learned this fried rice recipe from her mom and he goes over to their dorm for breakfast

‘mark bls dont touch anything. get out of the kitchen and go watch tv or something’

always brings up his messed up eggs

‘gordon spitting facts tho’

whenever he feels too overworked or too pressured, sera has always made it a point to come over to their dorm and have a movie night with just the 2 of them with his favorite snacks and drinks

LONJIN

omg these two

sera is typically not mean but when renjun starts, she becomes ruthless

always calling out his fake personality

‘everyone, don’t believe him! he’s 2 faced!’

‘what are you even saying! you act like you’re so quirky and giggly but you yeeted jisung into the wall last night!’

‘YAH!’

so yea, they fight a lot

but its very playful and they know where that line is drawn and not cross it

he talks to her about space and aliens and she listens to every word bc renjun sounds so confident and happy whenever he talks about that stuff

they’re actually 10 days apart but sera acts like she’s 10 years older than him

‘IS THAT HOW YOU TALK TO SOMEONE OLDER?!’

‘okay, granny’

always in awe whenever renjun draws and paints and she really likes seeing him in his element

unbeknowst to her, he actually draws her a lot

wants to frame all of his work 

they go out to the roof and stargaze

he steals her airpods just to watch her go crazy

once hid her phone in the fridge

lives for his vocals

cannot believe how much he’s grown from chewing gum era to now

her heart strings were tugged when he cried in dnyl

renjun always says that he wishes sera was born as his little sister bc they act like they’re siblings

EYESMILE PRINCE

hmm

so their is kinda complicated

sera’s closest to him than all the members bc 1, he was her first friend and 2, he has cats

before, when they still went to school, her and jeno always went together

yes, jaemin and jeno and her went together in the beginning

but jaemin was in the hospital and recovering so it just became them 2

also, she goes to visit his parents so she can see his cats

this results to his parents and older sister adoring her

‘bongsik, nal, and seol are my kids’ - lee sera, 00 line vlive

she always craves for attention and when it isnt given bc he’s too busy playing, she just walks into his room and sits on his lap while he plays

tries to get his attention by saying stuff but he teases her by acting like she aint there

‘fine, i’ll go to jaemin’

jeno wasnt supposed to be blonde for the comeback but they were just messing around and next thing they knew, jeno’s tips were bleach blonde

when shes on that,,,, time,,,,, hes the only one in the dorm she listens to

not even johnny, who’s practically her father

collabs with her mukbang show and jsmr

he mentions her like at least once whenever he has lives that she’s not in

steals his glasses all the time just to watch him wander around with this confused adorable face

hugs are so cute w these two and czennies see them hugging in videos and she can barely reach his shoulder 

forehead kisses and sweater paws for daysss

NANA

drop dead gorgeous boy

shes not safe from jaemin’s affections

*cue jeno glaring at him for stealing her*

we all know how much he loves the members and whenever sera breathes, he busts his uwus

takes so many pictures of her

sera buys him lots of lip balms and carmex but he always forgets to put them on

sera hates peaches but she buys him peach flavored sweets whenever she sees them

‘NANA!!’

sera is also an attention whore so she always runs to him and wraps her arms around him and he squeals by how cute she is

bought him an expensive camera for his birthday

has a polaroid picture of him in her clear phone case

actually, her phone background is an old picture of predebut sera, jeno, and jaemin

one of the rare moments where she cried was when she found out that jaemin wouldnt be in a few comebacks bc he was sick

kept visiting him and jaemin cannot repay her enough

the dorm is full of ryan and winnie plushies from the sofa, a tiny winnie plush on the corner of the island counter, and their bedrooms

sera is the one who always throws away the his satanic drink even though it’s still full

‘yah, you need to think about your health and if it your body is tired, dont fight it by trying to drink these to keep your energy’

sleepovers with them are often and sometimes found sleeping on the spare bed in her room

FULL SUN

our big babie

oh boi when he got hurt

sera called him twice a day, one in the morning and one at night, just to check if it’s still hurting and making sure he’s resting

forever remembers when he dressed up as a girl 

‘you see, i’m not the only girl member. dongsuk is just on hiatus right now’

his name on her phone is ‘man-child’

when he went on tour with 127, she really missed him

like she missed him so much that she kept posting on instagram for him to hurry back home

still mad that he moved dorms to be with the older members

when sera got sick, she made him sing ‘no longer’ to her like a lullaby

when he asks sera to do something for him, usually she says no because he asks her to do ridiculous things but his aegyo always convinces her

thinks his color amblyopia is so fascinating and adds more into the unique traits he has

another attention giver and she loves hugging him because he gives really warm hugs

one time, jeno and sera had a fight and it got so bad that hyuck had to be called and he was the only one who got to talk some sense in sera to talk to jeno

but the legendary markhyuck summer fight was resolved because sera yelled at them and cried since they are best friends and they shouldnt be like that to each other

they made up since ‘wow sera cried’ and ‘the members are ready to beat us up if we continue this’

and by members, like all members, including the older ones

sera knows how much being the moodmaker title burdens him so she tries to ease that burden by talking to him just the two of them

DOLPHIN CHILD

look how adorable he is UWU

he is 1/2 of sera’s sons

like she’s whipped for him and jisung and he knows it too

‘noona~’

‘yes, i will give you the world, the stars, and the moon’

thinks his laugh is endearing and is sad that it isnt that high-pitched anymore since his voice got a little deeper

cannot believe how much he’s grown too

when he speaks in chinese, sera thinks its the cutest thing 

‘can we give his scalp some rest? its not healthy for the boy’

trust fund babies

you know how chenle has 3 airpods?

sera went through 4 phones since she keeps losing or breaking it

dont ask how bc shes as clumsy as namjoon

had this phase where he wouldn’t stop back-hugging his noona and she just left it alone

always buys him snacks and cooks him a lot of food bc she thinks he’s too skinny and wants him to be healthy and gain some fat on those cheeks again

on their break, she went to china with jisung and her lock screen is a picture of her and chenle holding his nephew

triggered her baby fever

czennies ship them but he makes it clear she’s the older sister he’s never had

nct dream took a vacation to her hometown and she bought them basketball tickets so chenle could see his idol

his mom practically adopted her since she goes over to his apartment all the time whenever the others are getting too much for her

she misses him so much its not even funny

JISUNG PWARK

our maknae is growing up :(

sera had the whole family sit and watch the first episode of dancing high

so proud of her boy

she called him during the show and it was shown and heard about her telling him to take care of himself and to not be too hard on his body and that she’s waiting for him at home

as the youngest member overall, sera babies him the most

he obvs takes advantage of it and she used to cuddle him to sleep when he was younger bc he had a hard time sleeping

again, cooks for him a lot since he’s a growing boy and making sure he takes vitamins and drinks water and limit sugary things

she calls his mom to give him updates about her son

remember his phone that he used until it actually died?

sera actually bought him a new one before that happened and just casually gave it to him

‘i know this was going to happen so i just took care of it. i have to take care of you, jisung-ah’

hypes him up whenever he dances bc wow this boy is actually talented

doesnt really like skinship but he tolerates it when she holds his hands bc theyre so much bigger than hers

one day just woke up and she got so confused when jisung grew up

‘did you grow in your sleep?’

‘n-no?’

loves his awkward nature and she keeps saying how adorable he is and cute he is whenever he acts cool

god, she’s just so whipped for him

but tbh, who isn’t?

aaaahhhhhh i cannot believe our wish came true and they became a fixed unit and we really getting a comeback and an mv in the 29th!!!

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃

TRIGGERS: divorce, mentions of crime, drug and alcohol use

the youngest child of ted and elaine mccarrick, wes was a kid who is full of life. she’s the kind of kid who did things to make you smile, and it usually worked. she was warm and inviting, a little naive, but she had a strong support system.

her parents divorce when she’s six, she doesn’t quite understand it but her dad moves out, and her grandma and multiple cousins move in. it’s a lively household, between her mom, who works as a nurse, and her siblings, and her cousins, it was never really quiet and there was never a lot of room.

despite the split, her parents maintain that their children have a relationship with both of them, and truthfully, wes is a daddy’s girl. she and her dad were cut from the same cloth, happy go lucky, fun loving, a bit silly, he’s the one who introduces her to movies. it’s their thing, watching and critiquing them together, and it’s not whatever is in theatres either. they went for all times of filmmaking, new wave, surrealist, and more.

it really stuck with wes, who herself had begun making movies, mostly horror/fantasy/scifi stuff with her friends-- she writes and directs and occasionally, she’ll don a costume and star in them. they’re silly little things, but her family always sat down for her “premieres.”

her formative years are marked with plenty of things, sports, deaths of distant family members, a cousin or two who gets caught in the wrong crowd and ends up in jail, and throughout this, wes remains a rock for her family.

she’s in high school, and she gets into the eclectic crowd, the outcasts, the weirdos, the ones who smoked under the bridge, and partied out in an abandoned trailer near the desert. these freaks were her freaks. they accepted her with open arms, as she them.  

she chooses thales because she always wants to see the east coast, and frankly, as much as she loves her family, she wants to be free of them. and they have a fantastic film program. so!

she meets steven in their first film class together, and they’re fast friends, despite her usual weariness of YET another film bro, steven proves to be a good egg. so she thinks. she finds out through him talking that he might not be the most faithful to his girlfriend, and as much as she doesn’t like meddling, she thinks it’s only right to let clarissa, who she doesn’t really know well, know. however, before there’s a chance, everything happens-- now she’s stuck wondering if she should reveal the truth, or let sleeping dogs lie.

nana is different, nana and her dated her sophomore year, nana’s freshman year. it wasn’t serious. but they were fond of each other. they eventually break up, but they stay friendly, waving to each other in the halls, chatting at parties.

both the disappearance and the murder is weird for wes, who by all accounts, isn’t great at dealing with bad shit. she prefers to laugh about things. laugh about everything. because if she doesn’t laugh, she’ll cry.

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘

wes is a mess, a free-spirit, a walking contradiction. she’s very independent minded, the kind of person who does things without thinking so much about the consequences, this leads her into trouble sometimes. like nicking something from a convenience store, or stealing a stop sign as a prank. she’s definitely the kind to goof off and not exactly dedicate her full attention to something. and while she’s in genuinely good spirits on most occasions, she has a staunch ‘no asshole’ policy. the type to defend the underdogs, and go after bullies. she’ll punch you with a smile on her face, and yet it ends up being more unnerving than you realize. she’s a bit of a ditz, as well, never the best at school, but can talk your ear off about the going ons of the world. she’s a lovable dumbass, for sure, and loyal to a tee once you get her as a friend.

𝐓𝐈𝐃𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐒

horror movie fan! her favorites are some of the oldies, like dracula and  the bride of frankenstein! and some new ones! big fan of jordan peele’s work, as well as ari aster’s! but mostly really advocates for women directors and directors of color!

also does roller derby! she picked this up her first year at thales and fell in love with it, i can’t think of a name for her yet, but she’s a blocker, won’t hesitate to elbow some dick at the bar

kinda a tomboy? she’s always been! she’s rough and tumble and not afraid to get down and dirty with someone, i.e. will join those football games on the quad or crawl through the mud for a scene to shoot

doesn’t know if she wants to be a director/writer or a cinematographer honestly.... she loves the technical aspects of film as much as the making the stories

definition of a bruh girl, says it a whole lot, but also just if you tell her you love her, she’ll just roll her eyes and be like you’re an idiot (which means she loves you too) she’ll be affectionate if she’s close to you

kinda a wh*re oops....... texts multiple girls at a time and doesn’t want to hurt any of their feelings she doesn’t know how she keeps ending up in these situations... also a bisexual disaster

a stoner as well..... always has a massive jar of weed

unclear whether she lives on campus or off campus but if she does live off campus she has a pet turtle named elsa lanchester after the bride of frankenstein actress

a drummer! she’s in a band (name tbd) she started drumming at a young age and found it was a good way to manage her aggression

doesn’t really do well with emotions, so she’ll either be like there, there, or try to make jokes.... she really said kids can you lighten up

walking meme... such a walking meme... doesn’t know so many things she’s like a cute puppy with no thoughts head empty but she’s so fun to be around

life of the party.... nana she came fr ur spot and she took it and she’s not sorry but she does miss u a lot

doesn’t rly feel like she’s allowed to be upset anyways bc some people have it...... way worse.... can u say Imposter syndrome

kind of an enabler...... will be that person to push u to try things but not in a peer pressurey way, more like if u are unsure abt sending a text she says do it

wears fun earrings and socks! think lollipops or gummy bears or found objects like she collects that shit it’s her lifeline

boxes! she’s been boxing since she was abt 12, courtesy of her older brother (who is now a doctor thx ruby) and it’s a good way to exercise and release stress

𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

best friend -- two of a feather, cut from the same cloth, or complete opposites it doesnt matter to her (the abbi to her ilana)

roller derby friends -- she’s p close to the team, margs on her

makeup artist pal -- i think it would be neat fr someone to try and teach her makeup whether its normal or sfx bc she wants to look like a monster or smthn

she’s gullible, u take advantage of that -- u just tell her lies p much and she’s like yeah ok that sounds right

party friends

classmates

fwbs (f/m/nb) -- tbh she might have one or two of these but they literally are the def of pals who bone sometimes... like v good abt being like you good? u dont want more? cool me too

exes (f/m/nb) -- mostly dated women or nb people but def cld have had a guy

she smokes you out -- p much the only reason u hang out w her is bc she has good weed

someone she’s fought -- like fully decked in the face, prob said something that rubbed her the wrong way and it just devolved from there

people who dislike her -- she could definitely be seen as annoying bc shes loud and dorky and funny so ??

breaks someone out of their shell -- p self explanatory, pushes them to have fun, w everything happening shes rly like lifes too short to not take the opportunities around u

cousins! probably on her dad’s side! i figure she has some east coast fam 

anything? truly?

NO MORE KEEPING SCORE NOW I JUST KEEP YOU WARM?????? taylor really said “oh you’re not in love and i’m gonna make you feel like SHIT ABOUT IT” taylor pls a petition to let us say “BITCH” after the last line so it’s “i survived...bitch!” okay pls and thank you

marjorie - oh is this about taylor’s grandma :(((( i knew she used her name but this feels like it’s really all about her. babey. this is so sweet. taylor i love you

closure - okay the opening??? slaps! literally! okay the production of this is interesting! okay i’m like trying to figure out who this is about....who cares this is so good. oh my god the distortion??? it just underlines the anger of it all so perfectly and i love

evermore - exile hive let’s GOOOO. please be an exile pt 2 pls be an exile pt 2. so odd to me because, as a whole, this actually feels like a way more happy and optimistic album than folklore did, yet the title comes from the line “i had a feeling so peculiar/that this pain would be for/evermore”. OKAY BON IVERRRRRR. the violence of the dog days? that’s my next instagram caption thanks taylor. NOT A DUET SECTION AGAIN LIKE IN EXILE TAYLOR PLEASE I CANT HANDLE THISSSSSSS. “we always walked a very thin line” AND “is there a line that we could just go cross?” THE PARALELLELLLLRJSNDBBD. I’m gonna die for this I really think. okay so she ends it on this pain wouldn’t last evermore so that’s good

overall? this is a masterpiece. miss swift has done it again. folklore aoty 2021 and evermore aoty 2022. no body, no crime is really THAT BITCH. i need a mv miss swift! okay bye gonna go cry over this

update: after listening all night i feel like i need to point out that i’m stupid and thought este was the mistress and the singer was the wife when in fact ESTE is the wife in no body, no crime. SO addendum to my theory: este and dorothea were besties in hs then dorothea left and got married and so did este but este’s hubby cheated so then este’s friend murders him and she’s cool w it, then dorothea and her husband move back home and este and dorothea reconnect and realize their long hidden feelings for one another, dorothea leaves her husband and she and este run away together

ANOTHER UPDATE: ‘TIS THE DAMN SEASON IS FROM DOROTHEA’S POINT OF VIEW!!!!!!!! WHEN SHE COMES HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND SHES SINGING TO ESTE!!!!!! CJNECNSJSNNDN

average grades in terms of theory, but she’s the best in terms of applying information

the only potter child to inherit The Eyes™

absolute insomniac

kind of emo, but turns into a fucking softie around Scorpius Malfoy it’s hilarious

adverse to violence. prefers a verbal beatdown method

abSOLUTE DADDY’S BOY

super close with his dad

Draco is just so supportive of like everything he does (unlike his father)

classic blonde malfoy looks

actually really funny?

a cuddler. loves hugs. always leeching warmth off of someone

he and Rosie sometimes finger-tip-touch which is their version of a hug, because he know’s she’s not super comfortable with touch

was basically adopted by the Weasley’s and Potter’s

James Sirius will murder for this child

booknerd, always rambling to Al and Rosie about new books coming out he’s interested in reading.

has had a crush on Albus Potter since like 1st year

always worried about making his dad proud, and keeping up the Malfoy name

sweet tooth

he’s just,, soft. just a warm, happy child. he wants love, and affection. someone tell him he’s doing okay, please.

needs,,, validation,,,

he’ll tell you out loud that he has no favourite aunts or uncles, but he secretly really likes spending time with his Uncle Ron

they had a talk, once, in like the middle of the night at a sleepover with Rosie and Al, about feeling insecure in comparison to others, and learning to be proud of yourself for your achievements

there were a few tears, but it was nice

Ron was actually the third person he told, besides his dad and Rosie, about having a crush on Al

openly a disaster romantic. trash taste in romance novels.

always welcome in the Potter-Weasley households

[beaswest]

『 emmy rossum. thirty-four. cis female. she/her. 』 oh heavens, is that BEATRICE WEST from MAIN STREET i see roaming around mapleview? minnie may’s always calling them -HARSH & -COLD. i happen to think they’re not that bad! they’re a pretty cool BARTENDER AT THE MIXING HOUSE and every time i’ve seen them, they’ve always been +FUNNY & +ENERGETIC. i hope i see them around again! 『 liv. 21. cst. she/her. 』

liv again!!! tumblr wont let me use gifs rn so im gonna do w/o but this is beatrice! shes a v old muse i hvnt written in years so stick w me while i flesh her out more. like fr plots ! 

bea west was born and raised in the bronx! she is the oldest of seven kids born to a gambler and a cheater! out of her siblings, only three are full siblings! her mom has had affairs up and down new york and the other three west children are not really full blooded west children but they’re family nonetheless 

bea is a lot older than the other kids because she was a mega oops and they split up after having her. they got back together when she was six and bam then came the rest of the wests 

bea took care of her siblings like she was their parent. her dad was usually out blowing all their money and her mom was out blowing someone else, so bea spent a lot of time making dinner and doing homework. 

she dropped out of high school three months before graduation, though she wouldn’t have walked the stage. she was so busy raising her sisters and brothers that she failed most of her classes. 

bea saw her siblings off to college and other places though she herself never really felt a sense of personal accomplishment! she waitressed and bartended and had a short stint as a sugar baby but never really did anything she felt she could have 

when bea was twenty-nine, (her siblings were 23, 20, 17, 14, 10, and 9) her dad had some ridiculous debt. the people he owed broke into their house and took everything worth anything and left a note that they’d be back if he didnt pay up. 

bea was like, fuck no. she took her younger sisters and brothers and left in the middle of the night to mapleview. its risky but their parents really havent bothered to even look. no kids means less expenses and less concerns. 

bea got a job at the mixing house and lives in a little house with the kids who arent really kids anymore (28, 25, 22, 19, 14). they all do their part to support themselves 

personality wise bea is outgoing and super loud!!! she loves to talk! which is why she does so well as a bartender. she’s friendly w all the patrons. she can also be a little harsh, but thats just from a lot of years of Going Thru It. she cares a lot about the people around her but just has a weird way of showing it

heavy drinker, but determined to be nothing like her useless parents. 

wc is lit anything! im gonna put a connection up for her siblings but if anyone wants to snatch it now pls do ! bar patrons she knows well, people who know more about her past than she tends to share. friends hookups maybe someone she likes a lot but is Too Scared to date officially? anything !!!!!!

[faedawayyy]

THIS IS POST 2: CHARACTERS WHO HAVE SOME STORYLINES AND PLOTS ALREADY BUT AREN’T NEARLY AS ESTABLISHED AS THEY COULD BE. THEIR PLOTS WILL INCLUDE MORE LOOKING FOR LOVE AND MESSINESS BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE AS MANY COMMITMENTS AS THE ONES IN POST ONE.

MILES

the only carmichael boy who is officially single from his household. i feel like this has definitely caused his mum to push her attention on to him, particularly because he lives at home. she definitely wants him to settle down with somebody and at the moment, he fake dates arabella to keep her happy but there’s more i can get out of this. SOOOOOOO...

- HIS PLANNED GIRLFRIEND/WIFE: this was charlie at one point but she has more with leo now so it doesn’t really make sense. somebody from a wealthy family who his parents wanted him to end up with. maybe they’re constantly pushing them together but the two of them HATE each other with a passion and do everything they can to mess up their parents plans. - FWB: he’s been in the shadows for quite a while which isn’t a surprise given how much leo, mason and brody have going on. but, now he’s getting a bit older, i think he’d be more confident in himself and i can totally see him hooking up after events and stuff and having a few fwb. it’d be cool if these had different dynamics too like unrequited crushes/people using him for fame etc.  - MALE FRIENDSHIPS: he’d definitely hang out with people in his family’s circle but also people who are different and come from different walks of life. as a general rule, he’s chill and not big on aesthetics and appearances if that helps anybody! 

NATE

HE’S LIKE MY 2021 DALLAS AND THAT’S THE DIRECTION I WANT TO MOVE HIM IN. he’s a rising star in terms of his music and also has a minor acting and modelling career. he definitely gets the right amount of hype too so i think he’s the best choice out of my new guys to really give like the whole ‘rising star’ thing. i have QUITE A FEW ideas for him bc i’m excited! 

SIDE NOTE: him and imogen aren’t officially end game. like they might be? but what i’m trying to say is me and nadine haven’t plotted anything like that. their official plot is that they were dating behind charlie’s back when imogen was with charlie. now imogen isn’t w.charlie, they flirt and hook up but are p.toxic and argumentative. 

- FWB/RUMOURED PARTNERS:  this one goes w/o saying. i think i’m going to cap the plot at about 3 (not including imogen). maybe 3 different girls he’s linked with and has his own thing with. bonus points if one of these is a PR arrangement and it doesn’t go any deeper than public appearances.  - SECRET SHARERS: so with his career getting bigger, i think he’d be more serious about keeping his secret which is basically back in high school, him and a few of his friends are responsible for leaving another guy in a coma (he’s still in it now) after they spiked his drink to stop him from exposing them for cheating their way into st judes. i need maybe 3 or 4 people who all had a hand in this but we can work it out together. 

- FRIENDS/PEOPLE HELPING WITH HIS CAREER ETC.

EZRA

i’m kinda stuck with ezra. i have ideas but i dont know what the best way to execute them will be? so, he obviously has his son - nicolas - who is being raised by his mother atm. he’s natalie’s son; ezra and natalie were high school sweethearts but have gone their separate ways, they coparent as much as they can. this year ezra has got closer to madison and then felicity but in both relationships found they weren’t really satisfied with just him and flirted with others...so he’s kind of in a weird place. - PLATONIC FRIENDSHIP: maybe someone who knows all about his son and has helped ezra raise him/keeping it all a secret. it would be strictly platonic. i think she/he would be ezra’s best friend and they wouldn’t have any grey area. there’s no romantic feelings but the bond is strong. 

- EX: in between natalie and then felicity/madison. maybe they broke up because he wanted to focus on nicolas and didn’t have enough time for their relationship but there’s still feelings there. i just want somebody who genuinely loved/wanted him at one point and doesn’t always find someone better :’) we could develop how things unravel in 2021.

LUKE

luke’s father is the head of film at st judes and he has a lot of pressure on his shoulders to do well. at the moment, he’s in his good books because he’s a key part of the harry potter movies which is really pushing him and boosting his profile. he’s very focused on his work but also wants to branch out and make more connections. he’s currently interested in athena but i want to dig into his past a little more.  - EX FRIENDS/RIVALS: a friend that luke grew up with and they both went into acting, that’s when the friendship became toxic. they were always trying to outdo one another and it’s continued on to this day; they both have good careers but aren’t satisfied unless they’re doing slightly better than the other one; this can be m or f. 

- HIGH SCHOOL GIRLFRIEND: he went to gallagher high school. i think it’d be interesting if they were dating and looked as if they’d be typical high school sweethearts. maybe the plan was to live in one of his parents place, get regular jobs and settle down but then he chose his career/st judes and broke it off because it got too serious too soon. bonus points if she still hasn’t fully let him go bc she truly did love him. 

- COMPLICATED EX: an ex he dated at the beginning of st judes and it just got toxic very fast. maybe the reverse of his high school girlfriend - she fell out of love with him/was stringing him along and now there’s a lot of tension.

- WILDER FRIENDS: he’s very clean cut at the moment and has pressure to be a good example for others bc his dad is so linked to the academy, but maybe friends who tempt him to go out more and enjoy this time/make memories/do crazier things.

TAEWAN

ok ok i’m getting bored but for taewan, it’s very similar to luke. BTS are really going to be pushed to be the best next year and this is going to create both new and break old connections for him sooooooo take a look.

RIVALS/INDUSTRY ENEMIES - artists who work just as hard, if not harder, than BTS but don’t see half of the benefits with advertisement and getting prime performance spots at award shows. i think there’ll even be rumours than BTS buy some of their awards. he’d 100% have enemies by this time next year and would lowkey be sad about it bc he knows BTS are in the wrong, but also his career means too much to just admit it. P.R. GIRLFRIEND - a girl who’s a rising star too and he’s placed in a fake relationship to boost both of their profiles. it’d need to be a relationship where they clash and do not get along with one another bc i think that’d be fun. maybe they grow to like each other or be at least friends in the end but !!! the more tension the better tbh.

LOVE INTEREST/BEST FRIEND - i feel like he’d have one person who is currently his best friend and they’ve always kind of had feelings for each other...but now BTS are blowing up and management are getting involved with who he’s seen with and who he can be with, their friendship is breaking down massively and they’re drifting.

BRIELLE

brielle has just moved in with imogen and park and she’s been thrown into like, the world of old money and the richest family’s in violet springs. she’s experiencing so much new for the first time. imogen and her friends have kind of taken brielle under their wing & her life has kinda separated into two.

PEOPLE WHO KNOW HER FROM THE STRIP CLUB - i’ve literally been begging for this connection since i had her. her main source of income is stripping and dancing at a sketchy club in london. i’d love to have someone who sees her regularly and even pays for her to perform for their. i feel like it could either be they become infatuated with her through it OR they lowkey do it as blackmail to make the point that they’ve always got something over her.  OLD FRIENDSHIPS - people who have NO connection to the richer families and are friends with brielle from before. they know about her getting closer to imogen and the hamiltons and brielle is almost like their eyes on the inside, and they meet up and just gossip about everything that brielle has experienced. maybe one of these friends get a little jealous at some point and accuses her of forgetting who her real friends are/changing? NEW FRIENDSHIPS - people who DO have connections to that whole circle. maybe they get closer to brielle through events that she comes to with imogen OR they kind of mock her and treat her like an outcast. i definitely think she’d encounter some mean girls.  ALSO new friends with benefits because why not! there’re so many possibilities. i’m just getting tired of typing LOL

YULIA

yulia currently lives in the home of the family she nannies for. this job funds her scholarship at st judes, but she tells everybody that those people are her parents and sisters. she gives off the impression that she was born rich and doesn’t mention her real family to anybody because she’s ashamed. she has a lot of self hatred when it comes to where she came from and is v.much continuing with ‘fake it ‘til you make it’.

GUYS SHE USES FOR PUBLICITY/MONEY - i think yulia wants nothing more than to be legitimately rich, so she’d be very picky about the guys she flirts with and gives her time too. she’s probably more determined to get a rich and famous boyfriend than she is about having a successful film career. her priorities are all over the place. 

SOMEONE WHO HELPS HER CONTINUE HER LIE - maybe one or two friends who know she’s a nanny and they aren’t her family - but she doesn’t know that they know that. however, because they like her and/or feel bad for her, they play along and help her continue her lie.

ELOISE

eloise is the oldest calloway sister and even though she’s technically a “half” sister, she’s been raised with the other girls and is very close to them - especially zara. she’s the sensible one and often has the most level-head. she doesn’t take much shit but is also a hopeless romantic and loves to be in love. she really doesn’t have much at all right now so i could do with lots of different plots:

childhood friends, people who were like sisters to her when her real sisters weren’t. 

an ex boyfriend and her first boyfriend. i feel like the break up would’ve hurt because she’s v attached to people 

a close friend who has a ridiculously big crush on her atm; boy or girl idm! i feel like eloise wouldn’t know at first and maybe freak out when she finds out and we can see what happens from there 

maybe friends/guys who have used her to get to her sister(s)

MARGO

MY BABYYYYYYY. margo is legit my favourite and thats saying a lot bc you guys know how much i love issy and hensley. she’s basically signed herself out of rehab and takes advantage of the fact that dallas is working SO hard to get everything done. she has a huge tendency to buy and drink her feelings away SOOOO.....

ENABLERS - i kind of want her to get in with ‘the wrong crowd’, and by that i mean like...people who don’t rly care that she’s an addict and want to have fun with her. i have a really specific connection in mind where they’re fwb but it’s no good for her; BUT she’s kind of easy and happy to have sex hjkl; so they just keep her on standby.

OTHER FWB - i really want her to just go through a massive sleeping around stage. i haven’t really found someone she ‘clicks’ with. she relies LOTS AND LOTS on park and even though they’re not romantic, he’s her safe space. but i think there’d be a lot of other people in her life who she gets different things from. some ideas could be excitement, or people who baby her, or someone who maybe cares a lot about her & its their only way of being in contact.

EX FRIENDS - friends who gave up on her after she went to rehab and became a mess. she’d hate them bc as tough as she acts, she HATES HATE HES being abandoned. that’s why she clings to park and disney sm, bc she knows that they’ve been her friends since the beginning. 

[avery-oliver]

Reconciliation | Avery + Ángel

w/ @angel-emmerson

“She’s the same way with Quinn, she must sense that you two are basically twins.” Avery’s smile turned up a bit as she watched Grace sleep soundly with her head on Ángel’s chest. She knew that it was only a matter of time before they had to speak again, almost 9 years of barely talking and it was kind of surreal to have him there now. She thought they might have run into each other when he and Leslie were hooking up but now that she and Brady were on their way back to..something, she expected this would happen sooner rather than later. He was protective of his sister, always had been but a few hours with him today and she was reminded of why so many people thought so highly of him. Back in her 20s he had a way of filling that void she didn’t know she had for an older sibling, an older brother, a man that could be trusted. He wasn’t perfect but he was kind and in the three years she and Brady were together, he had shown her just how much someone can grow from their pain. She knew she had broken the Emmeron’s hearts when she left Brady and though she wished he had forgiven her more easily, she was grateful that he was seeing her now and not as the mess she was a month ago, not sure she could handle having to accept his pity or help. She wanted to show him she was stronger now, able to stand on her two feet, able to be someone he could trust to care and love for his sisters heart the way she had the first time around. 

“Yeah, well, what can I say? She has a type and it’s all good taste,” he teased, still in awe of the young girl who had allowed him to run around with her all day. He had been hesitant in reaching out to Avery, especially since he and Leslie weren’t talking. But putting that situation aside, he could sense how excited Brady was getting and he couldn’t deny his worry over having to watch her fall to pieces again. He had been the closest to it all, spent a significant time out in California in the months following Avery’s departure and he never wanted to see his sister feel as low as she had then. He wasn’t really looking to give Avery a lecture as much as he was trying to re-connect, especially after learning about the family pressure that had led Avery to leave in the first place. That and well...the birth of Grace had always been conflicting for him. He didn’t have any ties to Elaheh and though he and Avery hadn’t talked in years, they had once talked a lot about how they both dreamed of being parents one day. Avery had become so close to the Emmersons back then it was easy to assume that she and Brady would end up together, and though he thought maybe they had all been foolish, he was seeing now that maybe the people who were meant for each other really did find their way back. 

“I..wish I had met her sooner,” he admitted, absolutely adoring the toddler as soon as he met her. He hadn’t wanted to get invested, hadn’t wanted to think about how weird it probably was for Brady to see Avery with a kid but when there were children involved, Ángel was only interested in their best interest, in making sure that whatever did happen with his sister and Avery also brought goodness to Grace’s life. 

“Yeah well, I didn’t exactly give you a reason to come running back to be my friend. I mean you reached out back then and I never responded, I didn’t know how to talk to you. But come on, I’m not stupid, it’s not a coincidence that the one pair of Jordans she has ever owned came as a gift from Quinn at my baby shower. He’s like the best and worst liar.” She was quiet for another moment, thinking about how far they were from the 22 and 25 year olds they were back then, feeling like an entire lifetime had passed and yet she still felt as comfortable as she had the first time she sat down at their dinner table. “Are you gonna give me the don’t break my sister’s heart talk though cause I gotta admit I’ve been waiting and nervous for it all day, I mean that’s why you’re here, right? Not just to claim favorite uncle title from Quinn and Zay?” 

He smiled to himself, having avoided a real conversation for most of the afternoon, instead catching up on what was going on in Avery’s life, how Grace was growing and learning, anything to avoid addressing his own worries about the future, about the people he cared about, about how hard it was to accept things you couldn’t control. “A few weeks ago Brady asked me if I would be supportive if you and her became..something again and I guess I hadn’t realized just how much she like valued my opinion, you know? And I felt bad that she would hesitate because of something I saw or felt. I mean I’m her brother, of course I want to be protective but she’s a grown woman and I want her to make her own choices. But I gotta tell you Ave, she was fucked up when you left. Real fucked up and that’s not to make you feel guilty I just wanna say that if you’re gonna be like..doing shit together, please just, take a moment to think about if you want to be serious because I really never want to see my sister that sad again. Like...fucking ever.” He looked down at Grace who stirred a bit and he leaned down to kiss the top of her head, “Sorry I’m loud,” he mumbled with a soft laugh before looking at Avery. “I want you both to be happy. I guess this is my own way of saying..I still care about you too, but I’ll always care about my sister more, you know? You get what I’m saying?”

Avery nodded although she was unable to deny the guilt that formed in her stomach at his words. She had visualized it a lot since seeing Brady, trying to wrap her head around how she could hurt someone she loved so much. She knew what he was saying and though a month ago it would have terrified her, now it just re-affirmed what she had been feeling every day since the beach. It had been such a perfect day, a kind of day she had been dreaming about. It was so simple, quality time with her daughter, quality time with someone who cared about her and about Grace. She had felt so relaxed and she knew it was because she trusted Brady more than she trusted most people. When it came to Grace, she was as fiercely if not more protective than he was with Brady so he understood what it meant to want to go to the ends of the earth to see them happy. “I get what you’re saying and I appreciate it, I don’t take it lightly I mean shit, you really know how to give the silent treatment,” she joked but gave him a grateful smile. “I’m serious about this, Ángel, I’m serious about her and there are things we really need to figure out but I’m not interested in fucking around anymore, not when I have to really think about more than just myself. I want her to know me as someone who’s happy, you know?”

“Yeah, I hear you. Shit I never had any doubt you’d be an amazing mom, A. She’s one lucky kid. And we’re here for her, me and B and my moms. And for you. Like we’ve always been. Especially if you’re serious about these career moves, you know the BDB got you, we’ll promote all your cooking stuff.”

She gave him a grateful smile and brought her glass of wine back to her lips. “I appreciate that, all of it, but for the cooking stuff I think I’m good for now also..I missed you but given that you and Leslie are..whatever you are now, I think it’s best if you and I cool off on the whole public supportive friendship thing. Leslie’s my best friend and I want her to be able to have parts of her life that she doesn’t have to share with you, does that make sense? You can tell me if that sounds harsh but I want to be thoughtful, because like you said, I care about you but I’ll always care about her more, you know? And I don’t even know all the details but she said you said some mean shit which is so hard for me to imagine but whatever it is, just...try not to piss her off more, please? She has enough going on. So like, do your best to not get yourself wrapped up in all this small town shit. I know that’s easier said than done but..be careful, Ang.” She watched the way his expression changed when she mentioned Leslie and her expression softened for a moment, “Oh, you really like her, huh?” She watched him as he nodded but sensed the shift when she asked him directly and put her hand to her chest. “Oh...Ángel....really? You love her?”

He could feel his cheeks getting red and if it wasn’t for Grace on his chest he would have gotten up from his seat and avoided the conversation as a whole. “I mean..look..yeah but like can we just..can we just pretend like you don’t know that? I don’t need people thinking I’m some fucking lovesick puppy or some shit, you know? Especially with you, you said yourself you’re her best friend which is why I haven’t brought her up. You’re right I said some dumb shit and so did she and the two times we’ve talked haven’t gone well so I’m just,” he stopped himself, feeling himself getting frustrated but the sight of Grace calmed him and he was able to drop his defenses a bit. “I want her to be happy and I...got caught up in being someone that could maybe help with that. I’m..angry that I earned her trust and got so mad that I..ruined it during one moment of anger. I feel validated in setting boundaries but I feel...stupid for how I did it. And I’m..trying to be smart but we both know that isn’t my wheelhouse.” 

He met her eyes for a moment before looking back at the pool, not really wanting to say more and put either of them in a weird position. It was a careful balance of acknowledging the role they played in each other’s life because of Brady, because of the years they knew each other in high school and the roles they played in Leslie’s life, not that he had much of one anymore. Still, it felt like a movie moment, sitting there with her, catching up after all of these years and realizing just how much had happened up until this moment. When he put the three years they spent being close, up against the rest of the time they hadn’t, he knew it was easier to be present, to realize that they were both a long way from the past. 

She felt for him as she heard him, knowing what it was like to want someone you probably would never have. But she couldn’t deny the amusement watching this man so clearly vulnerable and emotional and she had to laugh and think about the fact that this was the man Leslie had decided to spend more time with than most. She didn’t want to make the conversation longer than it needed to be but looking at him now she remembered the moments in high school when she would catch him staring at Leslie or the brief period of time she thought he had a crush on her but could now see that he spent that time trying to know more about Leslie than her. She had to stifle a laugh as it all clicked in her head and she wondered for a moment if Leslie knew that this tall, goofy man had been this hung up for her for so long. 

"Look, I don’t know what’s gonna happen with you and Leslie, if anything will ever happen again. I’m not getting involved, period, though your sister is very convincing so don’t hold me to that,” she added, a slight smile playing at her lips for a moment. “Stop it with those sad in your feelings eyes, it’s depressing, get it together man, you’re making me look like I’m the well adjusted one and I’m not okay with that. If there’s one thing I’ve learned recently is that love is unpredictable and feelings are..unexpected.” She thought about the women she had come to be intimate with over the past few months, the way they had made her feel, the way she had been able to feel herself change the way she looked at intimacy, the way she looked at how she let herself be treated. It was why she was so open to the idea of pursuing something that made her feel the way she had always dreamed of instead of continuing to live in fear and doubt. “Come on, let’s put her in bed and then there’s something I want to give you before you go.”

She grabbed the glasses they had been drinking from as he got to his feet and was careful not to disturb Grace, following Avery back into the house. “This place is huge for no reason you know that, right?” She flipped him off and they both had to stifle a laugh. She hesitated but let him walk into the room and lie Grace down himself since she knew his arms were long enough to lie her down with ease. He smiled as he looked down at her lying in the crib, wondering how things would be now that she knew him and now that he knew just how great it felt to be a part of her little world. “Buenos noches, mi estrella,” he whispered softly before backing out of the room. “Kind of funny, isn’t it? Like how all this time has passed and in a moment things just...change like you and me being here, spending time with her it’s...I don’t know what the word is for it but it’s wild.”

“I think surreal is a good one.” Avery led him back towards her home office and towards the bookshelf, already knowing what she was looking for and she held the book close to her as she turned around. “I know the Emmersons hate when I start with the book recs but this is one of my favorite books of poems from my favorite poet and I just...I really think that if you sit with it for a little bit, read it out loud even, you will feel it and find some comfort in it. Just give it a try, okay? Humor me.”

He shouldn’t have been surprised that what she wanted to give him was a book but he still reached out for it. “Mary Oliver, alright I mean...yeah, yeah I’ll try. It might take me a bit but Ewan has had me reading a little more too so I’m getting better. Maybe I’ll read ‘em with Quinn and we’ll sort it out together and if not Alli could always help, she’s wicked smart.” He looked the book over one more time before tucking it under his arm, “I should head out though, told Q I’d be home in time to make dinner with him so I don’t wanna be late. But uh, thanks for letting me come over and for what it’s worth, you’re gonna kick ass out there with your new business. About time these people ate something with some seasoning, you know? You know where I’m at if you need me and I already told B but when you go to Italy please bring me back something nice.” 

His smile matched hers and they both hesitated before stepping forward for a quick hug. “She already told you about Italy?” Avery’s smile widened even more, knowing she should have taken Brady more seriously when she said it but knowing that she had mentioned it to her brother meant that it would actually happen. She had to suppress her excitement as she followed him towards the front door, already knowing she’d go into planning mode and call Brady as soon as he left.  

He laughed as he looked at her, feeling hopeful for his sister as terrifying as that was. Brady had spent so long telling him that she’d never be involved with anyone again but he was finally being proven right in holding out hope for her. He wanted that more for her than he wanted it for himself. “Yeah, yeah you two lovebirds just be careful, alright? When you want Lil G to learn how to be the funniest person around, Q and I are happy to babysit.”

“God, yeah, I’m really rushing to let you and Quinn babysit my kid. I know you two are responsible but the last thing I need is my daughter being on your YouTube channel learning how to flip people off. We can wait until she’s older.” 

“Shit that means you know about my YouTube channel, we’re making the rounds!”

“Don’t be flattered, it’s a small town, everyone knows everyone’s business eventually.”

He let out a laugh as he opened the door of his truck. “Ain’t that the truth. Alright, take it easy, uh, a river of cheese or whatever is it the Italians say when they leave.”

“Arrivederci, Ángel, it’s Arrivederci,” she said more to herself, mostly amused that she knew what he was trying to say and endeared by the fact that he hadn’t changed a bit. She waved him off as he pulled out of the driveway and almost like a teenager ran back inside to grab her phone, her smile widening the moment Brady picked up. 

“So I wanted to know when you’re free for this vacation...”

’ ･ﾟ :  ❄ : ･.  INTRODUCTION  .･: ❄ :･ﾟ ’

⌠ hero fiennes-tiffin, twenty-two, cismale, he/him ⌡ welcome back to gallagher academy, gregory ‘ grey ‘ collins! according to their records, they’re a second year, specializing in awareness training, breath control, hand to hand combat + knife fighting skills, sword training, precision shooting, firearms & swat training; and they did go to a spy prep high school. when i see them walking around in the halls, i usually see a flash of ( old rings to cover up bruised knuckles, face shadowed due to his hood always being up, scoffs being heard in the distance  ). when it’s the scorpio’s birthday on 11/20/1997, they always request their apple from the school’s chefs. looks like they’re well on their way to graduation. 

PAST

❄ Grey was born as Gregory Robert Collins in Edinburgh, UK ❄ His family was pretty much middle class, there was seriously nothing special about them that would make them stand out ❄ One would even say they were boring to an extend. Neighbors would just ignore them for the most part  ❄ Especially when Grey grew older, he was a pretty quiet kid -- never causing any trouble, partaking in group activities of Kindergarten and being an all around good kid ❄ However, around the time the male was a few months old his sister, Nina was born and then everything changed ❄ From the second she was reached around to everyone’s arms, everyone completely adored her -- excluding her own brother ❄ As with any family, there of course was always some sort of jealousy when there was a new born. However, with the male it was more than that. He felt completely neglected already from a young age and he couldn’t even comprehend why just yet ❄ And it wasn’t just his parents, also his neighbors and with the years going by it were also his friends even if there was a small age gap ❄ So that envy continued, always being in the shadow of his sister whether it was more popular friends, getting better, more expensive gifts, being better at school as well as just generally being better at the majority of things and therefore getting more praise than he ever received ❄ So at one point, he started to act out, just deciding to not even try anymore in most regards, not studying anymore and hearing less and less about what his parents had to say ❄ Which ultimately resulted in his parents favoring Nina further, considering she was being the princess and he was just the irresponsible kid in the family ❄ So of course things had to spike up someday, Grey started smoking and drinking at the age of 16 -- of course having that group of friends that wasn’t good at all for his behavior and health ❄ To his luck, however his parents didn’t find out for the longest time because they simply didn’t care much about what he was doing at that age, genuinely just focusing on their perfect child ❄ What his parents didn’t know though, his sister took note of and she found herself curious of how the life of her older brother would feel like ❄ Of course, Grey wasn’t too interested in having her join -- wanting to have at least one thing to himself ❄ Though, after a long time of begging he figured it wouldn’t hurt if he brought her along to one of his friends parties and it was soon for this to become a routine thing ❄ This time instead, it wasn’t his sister taking away from the fun or making him feel left out -- no they were genuinely bonding while partying and after a while, Grey even was beginning to enjoy having his sister around ❄ That didn’t mean that he had control of everything though. Luckily, they were smart in a way that their parents didn’t notice and Nina’s grades didn’t slack just yet but it had become a thing of her wanting to go without him on days when he didn’t feel like it and he quickly realized that she was enjoying it a little too much.

❄ TW; DRUG MENTION AND OVERDOSE: Grey has had his experience with party drugs but he never went to enjoy them too much, usually just staying to weed and alcohol instead because they didn’t fuck with his head too much. However, while there was a promise with his sister to never try them and he attempted to take care and protect her from that for long -- there was one night where he was distracted by a girl and that’s when his sister was lured into trying the harder stuff. It didn’t last long for one of his friends to call him, telling him that his sister was unconscious on the bathroom floor and not much longer until her pulse stopped.  ❄ Of course, Grey was completely devastated but it got even worse when their completely oblivious parents heard of the news. Though, like always, it wasn’t only his parents who blamed him for introducing her to this lifestyle and not taking care of him enough -- the neighbors did too and eventually so did his friends. ❄ While the family bond with his side was already ruined from the get go, this only worsened. His parents even going as far as despising him until one point where he was almost 18 and they got into a large fight to when his father ended up abandoning him, forcing him to leave their household completely. ❄ This certainly wasn’t something a regular seventeen year old wanted to hear but after everything, he had obliged -- dropping out of high school and instead joining a school he’s heard about from a friend, a spy school. ❄ It meant he’d be undercover, people not knowing what he did and lastly, to be away from his family. ❄ That’s also where he found his passion for combat, a way of just fueling his anger and energy into something productive and it was enough to get him into Gallagher as they started allowing males.

PERSONALITY

❄ Given his history, it’s not hard to believe that Grey is, although still quiet, short-tempered, snarky and generally unhappy ❄ He prefers not to talk to people too much, his replies always being short and without much emotion behind them ❄ He’s very, very stonefaced .. only ever furrows his brows or shakes his head at other’s ❄ He’s not very judgmental of anybody though, majorly himself because that was how he was raised  ❄ Is very closed up, most might think he doesn’t even have a proper personality lmao ❄ Scoffs a lot ❄ He doesn’t drink anymore, although instead he smokes an excessive amount of weed since he believes that’s the only thing that calms him down

QUIRKS N SHIT

❄ His clothes are mainly dark hoodies because he does like to have it up and pretend like he’s not listening ❄ Someone once asked if he’s mute bc he never speaks ❄ Literally fears nothing ?? ay ❄ Has a weird protective kink ... sister issues fam ❄ Sometimes paints his nails black ❄ Wants to have a lizard as a pet, idk he thinks they’re cool and fighty ❄ likes to wear rings ?? idk where he has that from he just thinks it rounds up his basic ass outfit ❄ likes to play basketball late at night  ❄ loves, loves, loves to read ( don’t ask me what’s his favorite book is bc idk books ) PLOT W ME !!

Hey !! I’m Bessie, I’m 17 and I’m from the UK 🇬🇧!! I love to do Ballet and Tap dancing, but when it comes to Taylor’s music it’s generally just me doing crazy dad-dancing because I cannot stay calm during her songs. There’s aren’t many words which can sum up accurately how much I love Taylor or how grateful I am to have her in my life, but I love her to the moon and back 💛 I’ve been a swiftie for nearly 5 years, and have loved her music since I was 11. I’ve grown up with her as the big sister I never had, and my biggest dream EVER is to give her the biggest hug hehehe 💛💛

Edith: @twinfiresignsswift

Hi, my name is Edith and I’m a 15 yr old from California! Anything related to cats is my ideal thing. I’m currently the mother of a tabby cat named Jagger who is very shy, grumpy, and introverted just like me, so the two of us get along very well 🥳 both of us are def party poopers. Anyway I enjoy art, especially watercolor! Initially I wanted to become an artist when I grew up, but I realized I would be poor asf, so now I want to major in biology and become some type of zoologist because animals are the best. In 2014, 5th grader me became obsessed with Blank Space and my life immediately changed from that day on. My favorite album is Speak Now because of how magical and well written it is. My 1 brain cell could never manage to write a whole masterpiece like that all by myself. And my stan song is You Are in Love!! It makes my heart go 💕💗💓 I am so incredibly grateful that I got to see Taylor for the first time ever on rep Pasadena night 1. It was the best day of my life :,) I know so many others do not have the same opportunities; I know how they feel, so I try to stay as humble as I can. I would be such a boring and sad person without Taylor and her amazing lyrics. She is such an amazing role model. Thank you for always being there for me, I will love you forever and always, and I am so excited to see what you have in stock❤️

Jess: @jessheartstaylor

hey!! I’m Jess and I’m 14, from the UK!! My stan song is begin again, I love it so much!! IM SO EXCITED FOR LOVER! I can’t wait to see what Taylor has in store for us!!

Hey I’m Ravae!! I’ve loved Taylor for as long as I can remember my sister has listened to her forever so I grew up listening to her!! Taylor inspires me everyday to be a better person and she’s a great role model. Her music helps me through the really rough times but also puts me in a better mood through the good times! I hope to meet you one day! Love you Tay🦋💞🌈💘🥺

Hey, Taylor! I’m Gracie and I’m 20 as of June 22nd. I’ve loved you since debut and my favorite album of all time is Fearless. I’ve been fortunate enough to see you four times and hopefully more on the lover tour 💗 along with Taylor, I also love Selena Gomez, Disney, and dogs!! 💗🦋🌸 The four most important things in my life.

Ella: @ellalovesswift

Hey! My name is Ella and I’m 17 years old. I’ve loved Taylor ever since the day my dad thought I needed my own music instead of just listening to his, this was when I was just seven years old and my dad bought me the fearless album and I fell in love with Love Story!! Ever since then I’ve never stopped loving Taylor! Other than her music, I’ve grown up with Taylor and every day she has inspired me to be a better person! My favourite songs are enchanted, better than revenge and dress! I’ve been to the red and reputation tours in Melbourne! Other than Taylor I am a swimmer. I swim a lot and it’s been a part of my life since before Taylor! I hope one day I can hug her and tell her how much she’s impacted my life! I will always stay, love you Tay 💗🦋💓🌸
