Bad news about the boulder everyone

good morning kings let’s push this boulder

[vawilcox]

**warning** this story contains a instance of being drugged by scum bags. Nothing worse happens, but it could still be traumatic for some readers. Please read with caution!

Dabi was casing out a hero stronghold that he had planned on attacking with the L.O.V. when his eyes roamed into you, shopping at the convenience store across the street. He froze. His heart stopped and he couldn't stop staring at you. The unscarred portion of his face turned as red as a tomato. She's sweet as candy. He thought to himself. Then his eyes continued to stalk you as you made your way out of the store. A passing tween cat called out to you and a vein popped on your forehead as you raised a fist and barked off his advance. Dabi grinned at this. And also sour. My little sour patch. Dabi lost all interest in his mission and followed you home. Making sure he wasn't seen. 

The next few weeks went by like normal for you. Work. Sleep. Throw all the money into bills and do it all over again. You had no clue that directly across from your apartment window, the apartment facing yours had a hostile take over. A villain showed up and told them they were living there now and that they needed to keep the food coming and to leave him alone. The older couple complied in fear, but soon found the villain wasn't too bad. He spent his time sitting at the window looking in a telescope. 

A few weeks more went by and things started to get a little weird. You'd come home to a bouquet of your favorite flowers on the front porch, or notice a new bag of your favorite candies in your jacket pocket on the way to work. One night you came home after a particularly bad day at work, having gotten in a fight with a co worker. Your favorite dinner was on the table, steaming hot. The dishes that had piled up were all washed and put away... the messy house was spotless... you were freaked out, but looked in ever inch of your home and found nothing missing and no one there.

You shrugged your shoulders, too exhausted and burnt out to care more. You ate the food and found it was made exactly how you prefer. You had no clue that Dabi was staring at you while you ate with a giddy smile. 

When you went to work the next day the coworker you had a fight with was absent. You found out later that in the middle of the night some kind of accident happened and he was put in the hospital.

Life went on. Little sweet things kept coming and you just started to expect it. You were invited to a girls night out with some co workers and went along to have fun and unwind. Not realizing that your whole world was about to change.

Your two girlfriends didn't tell you that they were bringing dates. Feeling like a total loser of a fifth wheel,  you decide to go off and sit alone. They were so wrapped up in their dates they didn't even notice your absence, you noticed bitterly.

You were so focused on your friends you didn't notice the shifty guys eyeing you from the doorway. You didn't notice the money they passed to the bartender nor the pill slipped into your drink. You just remember feeling something was off, in a daze being guided outside... the sound of a struggle and the arms guiding you change. The new ones radiated warmth and were rough, like they were scarred.

You woke up in your favorite pajamas in your own bed, a tray of your favorite breakfast was sitting on the table next to your bed, and a heavily scarred man sat beside your bed glaring at you with his hands steepled, clearly agitated and in deep contemplation.

After taking a quick look over your body you didn't feel anything was off, other than your head being a little muddled. "H-hi.. so um.. what are you doing in my bedroom? Ugh.. my house.. and uh.. why am I in my pj's and what's up with this breakfast?" You ask sheepishly.

"What why and how's huh? Not my planned first conversation but.. it's better than always imagining something that never happens, I suppose." The stranger muttered to himself. His voice gravely. His face and arms covered in scars and piercings. "Wish I could bring them back from the dead and punish them again for this conversation." You hear him mutter, barely audible. Your face paled. It sounded like he just mentioned killing people! 

"Uh.... who do you want to bring back from the dead?" The second time in the last few minutes you've opened up your mouth,  and the second time you sounded like a scared sheep in your own ears. You mentally curse yourself for sounding so weak. It's so uncharacteristic of you.

"Well, my little sour patch, what do you remember of last night?" He responds, you can tell by his tone he is in a pretty dark mood.  You get huffy. What kind of jerk answers a question with another question!? You think to yourself irritabily But still... what do I remember about last night? Thinking back... your friends thoughtless betrayal of girls night... the weird feeling.. the strange creepy feeling of strange men guiding you out of the building... your face goes totally pale and you start to panic.. oh no... not that... don't tell me that last night I was.... then you remember the last part of your memory from last night. The sound of fighting! The hands touching you changed to ones that touched you gently. You remember feeling safe in those hands. They were warm and rough but you knew they were there to protect you. You look up to the stranger, meeting his gorgeous blue eyes briefly and pulling your gaze away, feeling that they'd draw you in and keep you forever if you didn't look away right away... your eyes fall to his rough, scarred hands... everything clicks. You look down to your pj's. To your favorite breakfast, made exactly how you like it. You think back to the flowers, the meals, the treats...

"It was all you... wasn't it?" You barely whisper. Looking up into those enchanting eyes one more time only to hear him whisper back: "Sure was, my sour patch. And I'll take care of you in house from now on. You're not going out of my sight ever again." He said this as a matter of fact, you knew he had some kind of hidden strength and that you had no way out. But somehow you knew he'd never hurt you.. you should have been scared. But you were flattered. "Th-thanks... eat breakfast with me?" You offer meekly. He smiles and nods and scoots up next to you and hand feeds you breakfast in bed.

Hey Fink!

Hope your new year has been well so far. Also how tf is it 2025 that’s so crazy to me!

What’s your favorite little head cannon you have of each of your favorite cod guys? Just curious I love hearing how people interpret characters differently 😋

-Cher 🍒

Hi !!! 2025 is very young still and all that really happens is that my dog now loves to climb underneath the blanket with me to cuddle. Living warm water bottle, i tell you! 2024 was over so very fast.. Let's see if 2025 wants to slow down, but with what I see in news.. I don't think so. How are you?

My favorite HC's? Oh.. hard. I like all of them and am always working some.. Mhmm... Alright! Only for you, some small HC's that I like a bit more than the others.

MISC HC!!

Price -> actually joined a cooking club in his free time. Not only is he learning some really neat tricks, he also finds some contacts with people far away from anything military. And thats a break he really needs to calm down again after missions. Military may be his life, but even the most hardened man needs something different. Or needs to know how to impress a date with a perfect Beef Wellington.

Ghost -> loves to read "dime romance" books. They are easy to hide, easy to fold into his pockets, durable when he takes them with him into missions for the little downtime he has. Kicker is, he doesn't read them because he likes the action or themes, he likes to pick apart the loopholes, the mistakes in the writing, the cliches, etc. And he loves discussing them with Kate Laswell, who also shares this guilty pleasure.

Gaz -> This man, this unit of a man, has scheduled spa days with his sisters. You think his glowing skin, shining eyes and perfect smile are just coming to him for free? Think again! Everytime he is off mission, his sisters bully him into a spa or a Hamam or anything else relaxing. Its their way to pamper him, to check up on him, make him relax quickly. And at the end of the day, they are gathered at their mothers house, sprawled on the couch, limbs all tangled as the applied facemasks harden as they sleep soundly, close to each other. Gaz loves it, but not for the beauty factor, but for the love his family shows him in such a way, time spend together with love and gentle affection.

Soap -> is currently losing a quip-war with his niece. It started innocently enough when she was younger, always toddling after her favorite Uncle Johnny, and he ate it up. Until the little bean witnessed him and her mother bickering and she shot up to help her Mommy by kicking Soaps shin. It wasn't painful and the small bean was told that violence doesnt help. But! But Beanie Niece got training from grandpa for this and the next time Soap came home, she fired the first shot. Making fun of his meticilously styled Mohawk. And it all escalated from there. And worst of all, Beanie is currently winning.

König -> got forcefully adopted by a grandmother he met in one of his missions. Oma Elsbeth has a place in his heart after he rescued her by accident. And she sends him the most silly and thoughtful care packages that anyone else on base is jealous of. She even makes him sweaters made from her knitting yarn and the best socks he ever owned were made by her. He only doesn't like her self made Cabbage roulades... but he will never tell her that.

Alejandro -> has a very big heart. If he has snacks or chocolate on his person when he is out and around he will give those treats to children. He loves how their eyes light up, loves how they invite him to play soccer with them, adores the shrieking laughter he can get from them. It reinforces why he works so hard to help his home, Las Almas. And he knows Rudy is just around the corner but he never calls him out for it.

Rudy -> has the best connection for blackmail in the whole of Las Almas, and it is spreading. It is not made up by operatives or spies. No. Its the abuelas and Nonnas and grandmothers. He helped his own abuela once, when she had a bad day, to her tea party and he stayed for the cakes. And he came back for the goldmine of information he got about everyone and anything. Don't mess with Rudy, he will pout and talk to his gang of abuelas and they will uncover all the dirt there is about you.

Horangi -> can fall asleep anywhere, as long as there is a little bit of sun shining on the spot. Sleeping on the tarmac? Pilots better swerve around him. Sleeping on grass? Don't mind him dozing right in the middle of a field of grass, just beside some cows that lend him some company. Falling asleep on other persons? Only if he trusts them, but holy shit König doesn't even care anymore when the other falls asleep on his back, he just carries him around like a sack of rice. Falling asleep in the water? Yes, absolutely. More than one time someone thought he drowned.

Nikolai -> gives all his planes and gadgets names. Female names if he likes them and male names if he can't be arsed about those fucking things anymore. Akulina is his favorite plane and Alina his favorite weapon. His navigation is called Demjan, and he cusses it out every day and every minute he has to use it. Where are the maps if you fucking need them?

Spy x Family CODE: White movie - FINAL PREDICTIONS

Now that we're just a few days away from the movie's release, I wanted to make one final revision of my predictions for what I think the plot chorology will be. I've made several posts about my movie predictions over the past month or so (you can check the "#sxf movie" tag if you want to see them all) but I wanted to make one last post putting it all together and correcting things I changed my mind about based on new information.

Again, these are just my predictions based on the official synopsis and movie trailers released so far. Please don't take any of this as fact, at least not yet!

1. Introduction to the family

The movie starts with scenes showing Twilight and Yor doing their spy/assassin work as part of an introduction to the series' plot and characters.

2. Twilight informed about Operation Strix replacement

Twilight meets with Sylvia, she informs him that this other man (and child) will be replacing him (and Anya?) for Operation Strix.

3. Anya finds out about the cooking contest at Eden

Anya and the other Eden kids are informed about the cooking contest from Henderson.

4. Yor sees Loid (supposedly) kiss another woman

Either on her lunchbreak or heading home from work, Yor sees Loid seemingly being intimate with another woman, who's actually Fiona (it's unclear if they really kiss or she just imagines that they did).

5. Forgers decide to go on a family trip

After learning about the cooking contest and how the head judge adores the melemele pastry, Loid decides that the Forgers will go on a family trip to the Frejis region, where the pastry hails from.

6. Anya finds a trunk key on the train; accidently eats the chocolate inside

While the family is on the train to Frejis, Anya and Bond sneak away. Anya finds a key and the trunk that it opens in the luggage compartment. A chocolate is inside, which she ends up accidently eating.

7. Bad guys threaten Anya but Yor gets rid of them

When Dmitri and Luca find out that Anya ate the chocolate, they attempt to capture/kill her, but Yor drives them away.

8. Forgers arrive at Frejis, spend some time together, Yor gets drunk

Upon arriving at Frejis, they spend time at the shops/booths in the market place plaza area. Loid buys Yor lipstick from one of the shops, as well as some of the ingredients for the pastry. However, perhaps because she's still upset about seeing Loid with "the mysterious woman," Yor (somehow) gets drunk. She ends up going off on her own for a bit.

9. Loid takes Anya around the plaza booths, reunites with Yor

Loid takes Anya around some of the fun/game booths at the plaza. He also buys her a toy gun. At some point, Loid goes looking for Yor only for her to inadvertently tackle him to the ground in her drunken state. Eventually they make amends and the family heads to their lodging place.

10. Forgers enjoy Frejis cuisine at the lodge/hotel

Upon arriving at the lodge/hotel they're staying at, the Forgers spend some family time together and also try Frejis cuisine.

11. Anya is kidnapped by the military, Twilight and Yor separate (at some point) to save her

The next morning/day, the military arrives and kidnap Anya. Not sure if Twilight and Yor are absent at the time or are unable to stop them for some reason, but they end up each looking for her on their own. Bond was able to chew off the military patch from one of their uniforms.

12. Sylvia informs the WISE agents about the microfilm supposedly in the chocolate

After hearing about the incident with the military and the microfilm within the chocolate, Sylvia informs the WISE agents that they have to get the microfilm.

13. Fiona arrives in Frejis to help

Fiona, in disguise, arrives in Frejis to inform Twilight about the microfilm and offer help. They each get military disguises with the intention of sneaking aboard the military's giant airship.

14. Twilight and Yor both make their way to the military's airship

Twilight flies a plane to reach the ship. Not sure how Yor reaches the ship, but she does somehow.

15. Yor fights Type-F, Twilight fights Snyder

Once all the Forgers are on the ship, fighting ensues - Loid ends up having a showdown with Snyder (the military leader) while Yor fights Type-F, their robot/cyborg secret weapon. Meanwhile Anya is tied up and gagged somewhere in the ship.

Additional notes

I've been going back and forth about whether the chocolate heist occurs before or after they arrive in Frejis. Obviously it makes the most sense that it would occur before, during their train ride to Frejis. But it looked like Yor was wearing lipstick during these scenes, which made me think it occurred after Loid buys her lipstick at one of the Frejis shops. But after reviewing the scenes a few more times, it looks like she could be wearing a different lipstick both before and after they arrive at Frejis, not necessarily the one that Loid supposedly buys. So I'm just gonna go with that and say that the chocolate incident occurs on the train ride to Frejis.

My big guess about the conclusion of the movie is that the microfilm ends up not even being in the chocolate at all and they went through all that for nothing! I could be wrong, but I'm just throwing it out there ����

Anya won't end up getting a stella no matter how well she does in the cooking contest, since an anime-original story can't alter canon like that!

-----

And that's about it! Obviously the movie's conclusion is the most unclear since that won't be spoiled in trailers and such.

I know most of the other side characters like Franky, Yuri, and Becky do appear in the movie, but I don't believe their roles will be very important, which is why I didn't mention them. Most likely just quick cameos at the beginning and/or end of the movie.

Stay tuned for even more CODE: White info once the movie releases on Thursday~ I'm looking forward to seeing how many things I got wrong 😂

[lunarbun-ships]

hey guys! i know yall have been waiting for this for a few days and im proud to say that i finally have the whole timeline/backstory for bunny and i's adventure time ship lore sorted out!!!

so im proud to present our lore in extreme detail, its kinda rambly and very long!!

for yalls sake, im putting it under a read more 💀

kitty note: a lot of at’s canon events still happen, most of canon resides in the past, betty never comes back, so golb is never summoned. islands happens but no humans come back to ooo in fear of vampires, which are still an issue since marceline isnt alive either (referring back to the fact wk has ice marcy, implying something bad happened to her). some other canon events happen later on, so the timeline compared to ats is all over the place lol 😭 this has nothing in common with the f&c canon outside of the bare bones

for colored quotes, pink are for kitty, bold purple is for bonbon, blue for the wk and red for bunny :)

ik/wk gets ahold of the crown & puts it on in front of betty

betty doesnt get summoned to the present, she moves on after leaving simon

ik/wk meets marcy & has her for a couple of years before passing away (either due to the radiation from the gmw or due to the oozers that came from the radiation)

the original ice kingdom builds up around 500 years after gmw

kitty becomes princess of the stuffie kingdom about 700 years post-mushroom war

they meet princess bubblegum during a princess day celebration

this one is hosted in the breakfast kingdom

they get along famously during this princess day meeting & become fast friends

kitty meets ik/wk due to his princess kidnapping tendencies

kitty, once settled into his ice cell, informs him that theyre a lesbian

ik apologizes & they end up talking about girls until they get rescued

kitty & ik’s relationship mirrors marcy and simons post i remember you

BIG father/daughter type bond

after 150 years of friendship, kitty & pb persue a romantic relationship

their relationship is pretty healthy to begin with while both of their kingdoms are in infancy (725 years post gmw)

after ~200 years, theres a communication breakdown between the two of them, leading to their breakup

it takes a good amount of time before the two of them get back together- koo’s election still happens & she loses the ck for a while, which allows for their reunion to happen

bella noche gets summoned & ice king becomes simon again

this is the first time kitty gets a glimpse of who ik truly is

this, obviously, is an eye opener for them & they want to help ik gain his lucidity once more

kitty takes betty’s place in punching bella noche

marcy, as stated before, has passed & hambo is long gone, which prevents simon from creating the portal to apologize to betty

after bella noche’s defeat and kitty’s discovery, they ask bonnie for help in their quest to fix/cure the ik

bonnie agrees & offers to do some preliminary research on ik’s crown while kitty is away on royal business

bonnie uses the machine from “broke his crown”

ice king comes along with gunter

while ik and bonnie are using the machine & preoccupied, gunter is bored & starts pressing any and every button on the machine

this causes the machine to overload and explode

this accident transfers the curse of the crown from ik to bonnie via electric shock (from the explosion)/magic (the explosion malfunctions ik’s crown & the curse is transferred)

bonnie has amnesia from the crown curse

kitty returns from royal business and cant find ik anywhere and finds bonnie’s lab destroyed

kitty comes across bonnie, now bonbon, first

“…trying out a new look bonbon?”

“who’s bonbon? who are you? how did you get in here?”

bonbon is kind of aggressive, her mental state is adjusting to the curse

kitty, freaked out, goes in search of the ik, who is now the winter king

they finally come across wk while searching deep in the newly-forming winter kingdom

they ask him what happened & he genuinely has no idea what happened exactly, but offers to use his newfound conscious thought to help figure things out

kitty thanks him & they return back to their own kingdom

over the course of the next six months, kitty tries to adjust to bonbon’s changes & tries to help her remember

bonbon shows no interest in kitty, as the curse’s infatuation sets her sights on wk

kitty tries (and fails!) to ignore this & they try to help bonbon regain her memories

“i just got you back and ive lost you again” energy

kitty approaches wk & tells him that theyre going to be leaving to find a cure for bonbon’s madness & they werent sure when they would return

kitty’s sibling becomes the main one in charge in their absence & it stays this way

they lose touch with the wk after some time, leading him to believe they might be injured or worse- dead

kitty spends ~7.5 decades looking for a magic cure where both wk can continue to be wk and bonbon can turn back to normal to no avail

kitty meets magic man outside of the wastelands of ooo, where he promises to help in exchange for a favor

he’s still trying to steal glob/gob/grob/grod’s residual powers

the process malfunctions due to an interruption & magic mans powers transfers to kitty, making them magic woman

for the remaining 25 years before they return, they do intensive and obsessive magic studies in order to find a cure

they also occasionally watch bonbon from afar, watching the candy kingdom be rebuilt & just seeing how she’s doing

it is very painful for them but they miss her so much that they cant help themselves sometimes

bunny, age 24 by the time the 100 years have passed, meets winter king while assisting the ice scouts with another one of cq’s kidnappings

bunny is related to finn since josuha treated being an adventurer like a family business, so the tradition carries

impressed by their skill, wk appoints bunny to be his personal body guard due to their skill with a sword

since theyre always together, wk and bunny get to know each other rather quickly & become fast friends, bonding over magic and science

after some time, wk finds himself falling for bunny and he is not shy about those feelings in the slightest

he constantly flirts with them & makes it known that he likes them

bunny is oblivious + has had a crush on wk by this point anyway

wk takes bunny to some royal business & they get stressed out by all the people there/feeling like they dont belong due to the fancy event

wk takes bunny aside and gives them a pep-talk, a sweet one at that

“i wouldnt have invited you if i didnt think you wouldnt belong”

his hand is gently sliding towards theirs, interconnecting their fingers

“i brought you as my date for a reason..”

bunny.exe has stopped working

they confess their feelings to each other & they spend the rest of the event away from everyone, talking the night away.

wk and bunny enter a romantic relationship

two years pass & wk needs to go to wizard city, bunny accompanies him

the two run into kitty, causing a whole mess of emotions to run through wk- not good ones

kitty starts coming around more & becomes friends with bunny

kitty’s sudden reappearance is stirring up a lot of bad memories, thoughts & feelings with wk. despite this, the two are slowly rekindling a friendship

due to the bad feelings, wk is pulling away from bunny & is drowning himself in his work, this is a slow process, it takes a few weeks before bunny says anything

the stress of emotions is reaching to the point where he’s starting to see so much of betty in bunny & its scaring him

not to mention he’s feeling guilty about something…👀

during wk’s slow pull-back, bunny and kitty are venting to each other about their respective issues

my sona reveals that bonbon wasnt always the way she was & tells the story from their own perspective

bunny, having no idea this ever happened, decides to confront wk about his distance & why he never told them that he knew what was wrong with bonbon

during this confrontation, wk finally breaks down and reveals to bunny everything about what has happened & his thoughts

“you remind me so much of her..”

he also reveals the fact that there is a cure for bonbon’s madness that he discovered during kitty’s absence, but the caveat is that he would become the ik again. theres no way to be fully rid of the curse.

“are you ever going to tell kitty?”

“no. ive worked so hard for what ive had & i dont want to lose it.”

“but you really should, its unfair to them to hold onto hope that isnt th-“

“im not telling them!” he snaps at them

after he snaps at bunny, they decide that they need to think about things for a while & they spend the next few months in the magic man house with kitty

at some point during this period, kitty decides to go on a date with bonbon, mirroring bespoken for

rather than getting angry and frustrated like betty, they get progressively more upset and sad

during their breakdown, they reveal to bonbon that they used to date

bonbon later thinks about this & it begins the crowns obsession/infatuation slow shift from wk to kitty

this date doesn’t go well & kitty ends it early

bunny’s sona is the one to give the tiny manticore speech

“maybe you're going after someone who doesn't exist anymore. why not take her as she is? after all, you’ve been through a lot of changes yourself”

kitty takes bunny’s speech to heart & they think it over, but not immediately

on wk’s side of things, he is miserable and alone & wants nothing more than to apologize to bunny

he seeks out kitty, who takes him to the magic man house

he apologizes profusely

“i never meant to push you away.. ive just spent so long trying to avoid these feelings that i ended up exploding. i’m horrible at dealing with negative emotions, but i want to work on it for you. i am so sorry, bunny”

bunny, after hearing his apology, forgives him & they return back to the winter kingdom with wk

bunny & the winter king, once reunited, try and figure out a way to tell kitty that there is a cure to bonbon’s madness in a way that they wont freak out/blow up/snap

during this time, kitty comes back bonbon to give their date another shot, apologizing for how abruptly it ended last time

they end up having a simple spaghetti dinner & kitty realizes they have more in common now then they did 100 years ago

this date goes well & they continue to go on dates, falling in love with each other all over again

bunny and wk finally find a way to tell kitty that there is a cure but it would reverse everything in wk

my sona, interrupts them before they can say more than “we found a cure-“ and tells the two that they dont want to fix bonbon anymore & that things finally feel the way they should now, ending my sona’s arc

the four of them can finally relax & enjoy life once more & they all become close friends once more :3

[digitalprophetsworld]

Hi hello!! I made some couple new drawings of legacy again alongside some questions and hcs. Most of the HC aren't that great, but it's new so-

• One time when he used to have a girlfriend or a crush, he asked his siblings for help or advice as to what he should do. Big mistake since both of his brothers ended up ruining his relationship by accident and caused him to fumble the bag. (Neither of his siblings had any relationship experience but Larry did try to help Legacy the best he can. Lawrie, on the other hand, assume whatever idea he had could work even though it would be a disaster cause legacy doesn't quite understand.) Worst case, his siblings abandoned the ship and left him to deal w it on his own because R-T got upset and forced Larry and Lawrie to work despite them explaining the situation to him. (He didn't care. Even his family screwed him over. Maybe out of character for these guys ngl.)

• He usually gets into an argument with Lawrie, but at one point during the heated argument, Lawrie ends up reminding him that he's a bum and completely useless while Legacy shifts the blame at them since it wasn't his fault that they kept him around when he wanted to be recalled. Legacy ended up in his room venting out his frustration after this (slight angst.)

• Not a headcanon or a question, this is just a joke: but for whatever reason, because I see clip of caseoh playing dress to impress, I imagine legacy trying the game out at least one time and actually felt confident when he got a theme that he familiar with, actually ate with the outfit he chose, and got upset when he was at 4th or 6th place cause of how rigged it is (he lost to a mermaid and some player that weren't following the theme.)

• He probably watch a YouTuber named Degenerocity

I also got a question to ask. Considering the fact that he's a protector at heart, does legacy prefer to be bodyguard? (Cause I had this one thought in my head that he can serve as a temporary bodyguard for the idols during live concert. Or just a security officer for the bad random and kick out any trespasser that tries to sneak into the concert without tickets.)

Also some two artworks I made of him. (Well one cause the other is the edit of a doodle I didn't show off before 💀) Anyway, hope you like them!!

Firdt one is so cute omgggg aND CRYING AT THE SECOND DRAWING A BIT. Dating Sim with all three triplets but Legacy is IMPOSSIBLE to pull /j

Honestly it's so hard to see him having anyone so, yeah I can confirm he fumbled incredibly hard and hated everything and everyone for a solid week LMAOAOAO

He's definitely had his quarrels with Larry and Lawrie, Lawrie just has more fire in him to fight compared to the other. They've had some bad arguments and can confirm Legacy's uselessness was brought up a lot — which, like you said, was always countered with him shifting blame because they bothered to even keep him around.

That damn chair he uses has seen better days. It's the only thing around he can really use to just beat the shit out of 😭

HELPPPP He probably would play DTI at some point, but rage quit because no one takes it seriously + rigged. He's better at cyberbullying /j

Honestly? He definitely could protect the idols! He'd deny it at first but considered it for a while and inevitably accept it. He considers it like a free concert front row LOL

He obviously does his job pretty well, kicking out any trespassers or creeps like CLOCKWORK. He'd be great as a bodyguard hehe

[onceuponaloonatic]

hey guys i always feel bad when it's been a while since i've posted something so here's a little update for the angst fic (that now has a name!) if this feels awkward, it is the middle of a chapter (a direct continuation from the last post actually!)

(and if your new here here's the stuff i've posted so far for my new fic pt 1 || pt 2 || pt 3 || pt 4 || pt 5 || pt 6 )

“She seems to be doing okay.” Mina commented once they had taken Nico out to the hospital playground.

“Yeah, I was expecting the move to be harder on her, but so far so good.” Sana nodded, watching her daughter run around the playground. “Thanks, by the way, for the polar bear thing. She was so nervous coming in.”

“Of course, I don't want going to the doctor to be a scary thing for her.” Mina nodded, a small smile as she watched Nico drop her polar bear by accident. Nico didn’t seem to notice, scaling the playground once more. “It's already scary enough, being somewhere new.”

“It is.” Sana nodded, feeling the warm sunshine on her skin. She took a deep breath as a gentle breeze swept through the hospital courtyard. Her heart felt like it was going a mile a minute. There were so many things swirling around in her mind, Nico’s condition, Momo, Nico’s new doctor. It was exhausting. “Thank you again, for taking her on so suddenly.”

“It's no problem.” Mina commented. “She seems very brave.” Mina laughed as Nico jumped from the playground.

“You have no idea.” Sana sighed, willing her heart to calm down as her daughter played.

“There you guys are.” Sana let out a little yelp when Jeongyeon slung an arm around her neck. “How's my favorite little princess?”

“Don't let Hyemi hear you say that.” Sana giggled at the look on Jeongyeon’s face when she pointed that out.

“She's doing good. I officially cleared her to stay at home.” Mina seemed comfortable with Jeongyeon as the woman slung her other arm around Mina.

“Mommy!” Nico ran up to Sana with the biggest grin.

“Hi baby!” Sana caught Nico in her arms, holding her while she looked at her daughter. “What's up?”

“I wanna swing.” Nico pointed at the swing set.

“Sure, but can you say thank you to Doctor Myoui? She has other patients to see.”

“Okay.” Nico nodded, letting go of Sana and running to Mina. “Thank you Doctor Moyui!”

“Be a good girl for your mom, okay?” Mina smiled, taking a lollipop out of her coat and handing it to Nico.

“I will.” Nico had a huge smile on her face as she accepted the lollipop. “Thank you!”

“Thanks again Doctor Myoui.” Sana nodded as Nico ran back to her.

“Mina.” The doctor smiled. “You can call me Mina.”

“Mom.” Nayeon giggled as Hyemi dragged herself into a chair. Hyemi looked like she was still half asleep, her hair messy and her favorite stuffed animal in her arms.

“Hi sunshine.” Hyemi whined, burying her face in her arms. “Tired?”

“Nico and Aunt Sana woke me up.” Hyemi whined. “I hate sharing a room.”

“You can go back to sleep if you want?”

“It’s too bright.”

“I’m sorry.” Nayeon smiled, putting a bowl of cereal down in front of Hyemi. “I’ve got blackout curtains if you want to sleep.”

“I’m already awake.” Hyemi sighed, grabbing a spoon and taking a bite of cereal. Her face dropped suddenly as she ate her breakfast. “Hey mom?”

“Hm?”

“Can I see Mama for my birthday?” Nayeon felt like her daughter had dropped a bomb on her.

“What are you talking about sunshine?”

“I want to see Mama.” Nayeon had known Hyemi would miss Jihyo. They had left quite suddenly, and Jihyo and Hyemi had always had a good relationship. Nayeon knew that no matter how much Jihyo hurt her, she would never hurt Hyemi. “Can I go back to Seoul?”

“Hyemi…”

“Please? I want to see Mama and my friends.” Hyemi looked at Nayeon with tears in her eyes. Nayeon sighed, it was too early for this.

“I’ll… I’ll think about it, okay?”

“Okay.” Hyemi wiped her tears, putting her spoon down.

“All done?” Hyemi nodded, grabbing her cereal and putting it in the sink. Hyemi barely looked at Nayeon as she walked out of the room, leaving her stuffed rabbit on the table.

xx

“Hey Nico, what do you think?” Hyemi asked as she took a few steps away from the bookshelf. She had been working on putting her books away all morning, but it had been a fairly slow process as she kept getting distracted.

“I don’t know?” Nico shrugged. She was playing with her stuffed animals on the floor, seemingly in her own world.

“Well, is it good?”

“Yeah.” Nico nodded, sitting up onto her knees. Hyemi nodded, sitting on the ground next to Nico.

“What do you think of this place?” Hyemi asked, laying on her back and staring at the lazy fan on the ceiling.

“I like it.” Nico muttered. “I get to be here with Unnie and mommy.”

“I hate it here.” Hyemi muttered. “I miss my friends, and my room, and I miss my mama.”

“I miss my mama too.” Nico whispered.

“My mom doesn’t want me to see my mama.” Hyemi blew her bangs out of her face. “She probably thinks I’ll leave her.”

“Why do our mamas have to be gone?” Nico asked.

“Cause they did something bad.” Hyemi muttered. “But, I don’t see why we have to suffer for it.” Nico didn’t say anything, laying next to Hyemi.

“Unnie?”

“Hm?”

“I’m gonna take a nap.” Hyemi just nodded, but she could hear Nico crying from where she was laying on the floor.

xx

“Sana?” Nayeon almost laughed when she ran into something on the floor. Hyemi had holed herself and Nico up in their room, claiming she needed to organize their stuff. Nayeon knew her daughter was still upset from the morning, so she left them alone.

“Mmm.” Sana whined, rolling away from Nayeon. She was wrapped in blankets and Nayeon noticed a pillow on the ground.

“What are you doing?” Nayeon laughed. “Why are you on the floor?” Sana didn't answer, rolling back towards Nayeon. Nayeon immediately knew this wasn't just Sana just casually napping on the floor. “Sana-ya…” Nayeon bent down, gently laying a hand on Sana’s back. “What’s wrong?”

“Nayeon Unnie…” Sana pulled Nayeon closer to her, wrapping her arms around her.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Nayeon asked, noticing tears on Sana’s cheeks. “Is it Nico? Is she okay?”

“Yeah, she’s fine…” Sana trailed off. “Momo texted me. She wants to talk about Nico.”

“Oh.” Nayeon muttered, laying down next to Sana. She wrapped her arms around Sana, resting her cheek on the top of Sana’s head. “Want to talk about it?”

“No.” Sana muttered.

“Okay.” Nayeon hugged Sana tighter. Sana and her laid in silence, and Nayeon ignored the pain in her back.

“Has Jihyo texted you?” Sana finally asked.

“Yeah, I was ignoring her for a bit but she's… hard to ignore for too long.” Nayeon muttered after a few beats of silence. “We should change our phone numbers.”

“I wish.” Sana giggled, cuddling closer to Nayeon. “Hey Nayeon Unnie?”

“Yeah?”

“Will this ever get better?” Nayeon sighed, holding Sana tighter as the girl she had come to see as her little sister cuddled her.

“I don’t know.”

Artificial Condition, Chapter 7

(Curious what I'm doing here? Read this post! For the link index and a primer on The Murderbot Diaries, read this one! Like what you see? Send me a Ko-Fi.)

In which Murderbot gets really good at sighing.

MB locates the problem in a hotel lobby: Tapan somehow got back off the shuttle, without Art noticing until everyone disembarked on the other end. In fairness to Art, the private shuttle had no cameras in the passenger compartment. She'd told the others she was going to the restroom, and hadn't come back.

MB wants to just stare at her for being borderline suicidally stupid, as a SecUnit might, but asks her what happened instead. She admits that a friend still inside the Tlacey employment system sent her a note, saying he has copies of the data they want back.

MB gets a forward of the note, reviews it, and allows itself a sigh, as it's sure a human would do it too. Tapan suggests it might not be a trap because she knows the guy, and he hates Tlacey. She asks if MB will help.

I had forgotten that I had a choice, that I wasn’t obligated to do what she wanted just because she was here. Being asked to stay, with a please and an option for refusal, hit me almost as hard as a human asking for my opinion and actually listening to me. I sighed again. I was having a lot of opportunities to do it and I think I was getting good at it. “I’ll help you. Right now we need to find a place to get out of sight.”(1)

Tapan has a hard currency card, not tied to any RaviHyral account. MB has no education on financial matters, but Art runs some cross-referencing, and finds that hard currency can be traced, but usually only by political entities. So, MB decides it's probably safe to use without giving Tapan's identity away.

They get a transient room near the port. There's no SecSystem for MB to monitor, only one camera near the entrance. It worries they've been observed, even after deleting itself and Tapan from the camera memory.

While they navigate, MB sends Art its conclusions from Ganaka Pit. Art says it's good news, MB knows it's not responsible. MB mostly agrees, but still feels bad about it.

Inside the room, with the door locked, Tapan relaxes a bit. MB notes how small it is, and thinks how it's going to have to pretend to use the waste-reclaimer at least twice for believability. It sets an alarm to remind it.

Tapan sets down her bag, and says she knows MB is mad. MB says it's not mad, though it's furious. Tapan says she knows, and her friends must have been furious, but she's not not-afraid, which is good. MB and Art consult privately, but neither has any idea what this means, so MB asks how it's good.

She explained, “In the creche, our moms always said that fear was an artificial condition. It’s imposed from the outside. So it’s possible to fight it. You should do the things you’re afraid of.”(2)

Art rolls its eyes figuratively, and MB says that's not the purpose of fear. Tapan says she knows, but it's still inspirational to her.

As Tapan gets out the sitting cushions, she asks if MB got to do its research. It says it did, but the result was inconclusive. It thinks how it was very conclusive, really, but didn't have the effect it was hoping for.

Tapan and MB get the seating arranged on the floor, and she says MB must be augmented "more than someone would choose voluntarily." MB admits it awkwardly. She asks if it was an accident.

MB realizes it's just about to go into a fetal position, and asks itself why this is so stressful. Art plays the Sanctuary Moon soundtrack in its feed, which weirdly helps.(3) MB says it was in an explosion, and there's not much human left of it, since both statements are technically true if unrelated.

Tapan pauses, considering her words, then apologizes again for getting MB into this. She just has to try, for her own conscience. Art observes that the young can be impulsive, and the trick is keeping them alive long enough to become old.

MB asks if Tapan ate. She offers it a meal pack from her bag, but it says its augments require a special diet, which she accepts readily. MB asks if she likes media, and at the affirmative, queues up the first episodes of Worldhoppers. Art is pleased, and compares Tapan's reactions to MB's, until Tapan suggests she should try to sleep.

They curl up on their separate pads, MB still watching Worldhoppers with Art in the feed, until MB feels a ping outside the door. It sits up so quickly, it wakes Tapan, but motions for her to be quiet while it checks it out. It goes to the door, but can't hear any breathing. It detects the same signature as the ping it got while confronting Tlacey.

The sexbot is outside its door. It must belong to Tlacey. Only, why did it ping for MB? Only one way to find out: it acknowledges the ping.

After a long moment, it reaches out to MB's feed. It says it knows what MB is, and asks why it's here. MB says it's on contract, and asks why the sexbot is communicating with it. SecUnits don't generally talk unless they have to for their duties. It wonders if the ComfortUnit is rogue as well, but decides it's more likely Tlacey sent it, for some reason, to kill Tapan.

MB explains to Tapan in the feed that someone's outside the door.

From outside, the sexbot finally replies that, "This is you," and sends MB a newsburst from Port FreeCommerce, where it left the Preservation team, about a SecUnit being unsecured, and its location unknown. MB knows "unsecured" means they know its governor module is hacked. It expected this, but it's still a shock. During interviews about the incident, Mensah had to admit that MB had been released, because constructs are legally sentient under Preservation law, when they asked for it to be produced with whatever evidence it had in the case.

MB denies that it's the rogue SecUnit in the newsburst, but the sexbot is mostly focused on whether MB is free, without human control. Art tries to reach through MB and investigate the sexbot, while MB keeps it occupied and asks if Tlacey sent it. The sexbot admits Tlacey is its client.

Art can detect that the sexbot is not rogue, and it can't kill the governor module from this distance. The sexbot admits that it told Tlacey that MB is a SecUnit, but not that it's rogue. MB asks what it proposes, and the sexbot suggests they kill all the humans present. Art gets pearl-clutchy and MB rolls its eyes, but wonders if the bot knows it was involved at Ganaka Pit.

MB asks the sexbot if that's how Tlacey thinks bots communicate with each other. The sexbot says yes, and asks what MB was doing so long in the blackout area. MB says hiding, and asks if Tlacey knows the sexbot wants to kill her. It felt the intensity behind the statement was all too real.(4) The sexbot says she knows, but that it didn't tell Tlacey about MB's client, she only wanted it to follow MB.

The sexbot sends MB a code bundle on the feed. MB tosses it to Tapan, and asks her to isolate it and not open it just yet. MB sends a ping back to the sexbot, but it's withdrawing down the corridor. When it's sure the sexbot is gone, MB steps away from the door, and figures out countermeasures to ensure it can't be followed any longer, things it should have been doing from the beginning, but it's only… well, not human, but only a murderbot.

Finally, MB has Tapan open the bundle. It's pretty standard malware, very amateur for Tlacey, but… there's a rogue string in it. Three words: "Please help me."(5)

MB moves them to a different room in the hostel, near an emergency exit. MB manually breaks the lock on the door, in case of hacking, and tells Tapan an adjusted version of the truth: the visitor told it Tlacey doesn't know Tapan is here. Tapan wonders why they told MB anything, but wants to keep the meeting in about four hours. MB still thinks it's a trap, but has to think. It tells Tapan it's going to lay down and sleep.

About a half hour later, MB feels Tapan resettle herself on the sleeping pad, right next to MB, just barely not touching it. MB freaks out at a human getting so close to it. Art suggests MB calm down, and remember that Tapan finds it a soothing presence, and she's scared. MB is too freaked out to answer that, but increases its body heat output.

Over the next two hours, she yawned twice, breathed deeply, and snorted occasionally. At the end of that time I changed my breathing and moved a little, and she immediately slid off my pad and over to hers. By that time, I had a plan, sort of.

MB suggests to Tapan that it go to the meeting, and she get on a shuttle. Tapan doesn't want to abandon MB, since it's only in this because of her group. MB's organic bits clench with emotion, as it thinks how company protocol allows humans to abandon SecUnits under some emergency circumstances.

MB argues that she can help it the most by going now, and eventually it manages to convince her. She wears extra clothes from her pack, to change her body shape, with the hood of an extra jacket up to hide her face a bit. MB watches her on the security cameras until she's on the shuttle, and Art takes over to guard its bot pilot.

MB activates a hack on the security cameras much more complex than what it's been doing so far for this process, looping the footage on a tenth of a second delay to replace bits with footage it recorded earlier.

MB leaves the hostel, letting the cameras track it toward the tube access, then activating the hack again.

I was only 97 percent certain this meeting was a trap.

=====

(1) I have the biggest feelings about this part. Because, like, as much as this series is full of murder and gore and sci-horror… it is also so full of radical hope. Murderbot being treated with respect and kindness by the Preservation team is really where it starts. It continues throughout this book as MB cares about them so much, it works to prove to itself that it won't hurt them if it goes back. But here, this. Tapan never really loses her optimism that they can recover the situation, she wants so hard to believe. And, Murderbot, for all its grumbling and glaring and sighing… Murderbot wants to help, not because of its programming, not because of its job, but because it knows the right thing to do, and I think on some level it wants to live in the better world it grumbles can't be achieved. (2) Do you love or hate it when a piece of media Does The Thing and names itself? Some are executed more smoothly than others, to be sure, so for me it depends on the situation. This one doesn't particularly impress or disgust me. (3) Sanctuary Moon is MB's literal mental sanctuary in a lot of ways. Whomst among us hasn't had a piece like that? Even if, for a lot of people, that comfort media is now Murderbot. I wonder how it would feel about that… (Probably horrified.) (4) It's so interesting that the sexbot uses the phrasing it acknowledges Tlacey assumes bots use with each other, but still actually seems to mean it. Why would it want all the humans dead? And this back to back with last chapter, where we saw a tale retold of some similar ComfortUnits facing incredible odds to try to save the humans they knew. (5) No wonder it wanted to confirm MB is free. Or, is it all another layer of trap? And what's with the ComfortUnits on RaviHyral?

Hey guys,

So I have been through a very long depression streak, making it so I haven't been able to write in well over a year or two, and it's been killing me.

But lately, I've had this idea to write again, but I'm terrified that it'll suck because I've never written an original story before. Granted I was thinking about Joel Miller and The Last Of Us while writing it, so I don't know. It's called Against All Odds and I just wanted to share the first chapter on here to see if anyone likes it.

Please leave a comment or just a heart, anything helps. Thanks!

"Allie! Come on! The lights are gonna turn on soon!" I giggled, a touch of fear from the thought of being grounded again pushing my legs faster as my sister and I booked it back to the little apartment we lived in with her older brother, Connor, their father, Sam, and my mother.

"Home!" Allie called out as we crossed over the threshold, just as the street lights sputtered on, almost running my mother over as she stood in front of the door, trying to find any reason to ground me again.

"Just in time, girls. Dinner is on the stovetop." Sam smiled at us, cutting my mother off from her usual tantrum.

"Thanks, Sam." I smiled back at him, as he gave me a soft, knowing nod before he gently guided my mother to her seat on the recliner in the living room, placing her dinner in front of her on the fold-out table. He put on her favorite show at a louder volume than usual before he ushered me back into the kitchen with an exhausted look on his face. I placed my hand on top of his once he sat down at the table with me. "What's the matter?" I whispered gently, lightly pressing him to open up to me as Allie ate her Mac N Cheese on the couch, blissfully unaware of the painful conversation we were about to have. He released a heavy sigh, rubbing a hand over his face as if that would make what he was about to say easier. It didn't. He sighed again before pulling a piece of paper out of his back pocket and placing it on the table. I gasped, placing my hands over my mouth with tears and confusion in my eyes.

I never had to read that paper to know exactly what it was. It's been all over the internet for months, and even without that, my older brothers got the same one only a month ago.

The war wasn't much to worry about over here in the States for quite a while, but then more countries joined the opposing side and broke up the alliance that had been put in place, and so the war grew bigger, more violent, making the U.S have to join and send out drafts to all the eligible men in the country. Most people were expecting it by that point and were even encouraging the country to send aid, but then the Virus broke out when four bombs filled with special chemicals and bacteria were dropped on San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Everyone started getting sick and then died. It didn't spread. But most of the Sci-Fi nerds think this is the start of the Zombie Apocalypse. If only we had listened.

The war efforts had been increased tenfold after that, and more drafts were sent out.

Sam never should have gotten one. Sam is lame in his right leg, a dirt bike accident that never got properly addressed and messed up the rest of his life, well, and the fact that he was a Staff Sergeant in the Army for well over 25 years, getting shot in the leg a few times over that time. He never would have qualified again for the draft, but apparently, things are so bad that they want to send him out onto the field.

"When?" Was the only thing I could get out.

He squeezed my hand and cleared his throat. "Three days."

"Your leg?" I whispered.

"I'll be fine, Ken." He rubbed circles into my hand, trying to soothe me. "Just promise me something." He leaned closer as I nodded.

"Anything."

"Promise me that you'll look after Allie and Connor for me?" He asked. I was the youngest out of the three of us, but he knew that I could handle it. I nodded again and he kissed my cheek before sending me to bed.

After barely holding onto 11 years of life, I had lost both of my brothers, and my father, and after only six months on the battlefield, I had lost Sam, too.

💖Sweet Revenge💖 - Chapter 4

Blake Welling

I have a confession to make.

I have basically no tolerance for spicy food.

The truffle thing I ate was delicious... heavenly even but it was also really spicy and I need to get away from the cute candy-maker guy before I lose my shit.

I dash back across the street, not even bothering to look this time and take refuge in my shop, where I promptly chug half a liter of water.

It doesn't help at all but it's all I have on hand.

Ten uncomfortable minutes later, the burning subsides and I'm able to think of something other than pain.

Well, actually I think of high school, which is almost the same thing. What I told candy-guy, Aaron, was true.

I was an asshole in high school.

I was the star of the track team, friends with a bunch of dickhead jocks and so deep in the closet, I didn't even know it had a door.

But I don't remember being any worse than any other dumbass kid and I certainly don't remember doing anything that would make someone still hate me for it ten years down the road.

It makes me curious and nervous.

I've been assured that the accident didn't affect my memory in any way but I still worry that the doctors might be wrong.

If I'd done something terrible, how could I make up for it if I don't remember what it was?

I write myself a note to ask Dr. Patreski about it after physical therapy the following day.

~♡~

The next morning, though, I get a nasty surprise when I walk down from my little apartment behind my store and go to start my truck.

The engine makes a grinding, grating noise, there's a muffled 'pop' and then... nothing.

"Shit... Shit, shit, shit..." I bang my fist on the steering wheel.

I've already missed the last two appointments and if I miss this one, Dr. Patreski's office has threatened to drop me as a patient.

It's not like she's the only physical therapist in the area but I trust her and I like her and I promised I wouldn't fuck things up for myself yet again.

I pop the hood and get out to see a cloud of steam rising from beneath it.

"Mother Hubbard, piece of shit," I swear, kicking the tire and instantly regret it.

I do it with my good leg but my bad one goes out on me and I lose my balance.

I catch myself on the side of the truck and a whole new flock of curses escapes my mouth on filthy wings.

"Hey, everything okay?" I turn and see Aaron the candy-guy looking at me with a curious expression, like I'm something strange and unexpected and not altogether welcome... an unknown substance or a weird stain maybe but even in my distressed state, I appreciate how trim and neat he looks in his black slacks, white shirt and candy-striped apron.

I tear my eyes away from the patch of smooth, honey skin revealed by his open collar.

"No. My God-damn truck just blew up and I have an appointment in Felton I can't miss," I say digging out my cell-phone.

"Does Uber work around here? Or is there a bus or something?"

He stands for a minute without moving or speaking and I begin to wonder if he's just going to watch me have my crisis like it's the local 5 o'clock news.

I'm just about to lose my temper when he speaks.

"I was planning to go into Felton this afternoon for supplies... but I can go now and give you a lift, if you want," he says, looking at my truck's steaming hood.

"Yes. Oh my God, yes, please. I'll give you gas money," I pull out my wallet.

"Here."

I try to hand him a twenty but he just makes a face.

"I don't want your money. When's your appointment?"

"Ten-thirty."

"Alright. Let me get my stuff and we'll go. That's my car there," he points to a little grey Fiat further down the street.

"Here," he tosses me his set of keys.

"Make yourself comfortable. I'll be back in a minute."

He turns and walks back to his own store, vanishing inside.

I feel kind of weird but I go and unlock his car and get in on the passenger side.

It's compact, more than a few years old and definitely a base model.

On the other hand, it's clean and obviously well-cared for.

I like it and it seems to fit him somehow.

A minute later he returns.

He's changed into dark jeans and a black t-shirt and somehow the casual clothes make him look even younger than he already does.

When I first saw him in the store, I'd assumed he was an employee because I'd thought he was twenty-two at most.

Now he looks barely legal.

"What?" he snaps, frowning at me. I realize I was staring.

"Sorry. I'm just... er... upset about my truck. Is it really okay for you to leave your store like this? Won't it impact your business?"

"I've got someone coming in. At least, as long as no one dies, and all the alligators are accounted for."

"Um?"

I'm kind of lost but I forge on.

"Anyway, thanks for offering to drive me."

"Sure, don't mention it. Where are we going, anyway?"

I give him the address and he puts it into his phone's GPS.

"A doctor's office?" he asks, then blushes.

"Sorry. None of my business."

"No, it's okay. It's just physical therapy."

"Oh?"

He doesn't press but after a few seconds, I'm compelled to tell him anyway.

"I got hit by a drunk driver about two years ago. I was riding my bike through this quiet little town... the kind of place you never expect anything bad to happen... and BOOM... out of nowhere, this guy just hits me coming off a side street. Shattered my left leg. I'm just glad they could save it... although from the X-Rays it looks like I've got more metal than bone in there at this point. That's kinda why I opened the shop. I'm not competing in any rides any time soon but at least I can provide some fuel for other people's dreams."

He keeps his eyes on the road but I can see from his profile that his expression is troubled.

"I'm sorry. That sounds... rough."

"Well, it ain't been smooth," I laugh.

"That's for sure but I know it could've been a hell of a lot worse and I've got a lot to be grateful for."

The corner of his mouth dips down in a little twitch of a frown.

"What about you?" I prompt.

He looks over and his crystal blue eyes are wide and bright.

"What about me?" he asks.

"What are you going into Felton for? Supplies, you said, right?"

I don't know what I said wrong but the iron curtain drops again and his face is suddenly as expressionless as a porcelain doll's.

"Oh, yeah," he says.

"That's right. Supplies."

[timeoverload]

Thank you all for the kind messages. I appreciate you all.

I was just having a really bad day yesterday. I wanted to rip my hair out and it felt like I had bugs crawling under my skin. I don't know how to describe it. My anxiety is so bad. I don't feel the best today either. I still got up anyway. I took a shower and got dressed. The nurse didn't think I was sick enough to take another full day off so I am going to have to work noon to 5 today. I don't want to work but I don't want to sit in bed all day either. I need some social interaction because I'm lonely.

I hope I can conceal my new tattoo from everyone today with my jacket so I don't get in trouble. My hand is a little bruised so hopefully they don't notice that. I don't want to hide it because I love it and I want to show it off. Hopefully I can show people once it heals. I will just have to lie about when I had it done.

I also need to try to keep saving my money. I spent a lot of my day yesterday trying to figure stuff out to apply for disability. I think it's shitty how some people think it's so easy to get disability and it's really not. It's such a frustrating process. My doctor wasn't as helpful as I thought she would be because she just gave me the address to the social security website and I have to figure it out on my own. They will automatically deny my application if I'm still working full time. I am going to have to go part time in the near future. I will probably only be able to work 10 hours a week. I will lose my health insurance and benefits once I start working part time so I need to try to get all of my doctors appointments out of the way first. It will take at least a year to get approved but it's not guaranteed. I don't know if I can afford a lawyer. I'm scared I am going to get sick again in the meantime and not be able to get treatment because it's so expensive. I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to pay my bills every month because I won't have much money left over to do anything else. It's also going to be a huge pain in the ass to get all of my medical records together and I wish there was an easier way to do it. It's so overwhelming.

I really wish I could get my anxiety under control. I have been thinking about renting a car and going to Missouri so I can smoke something. It's closer than Colorado. It really would help with my appetite because I haven't eaten much in days and it's making me feel like shit. I even ordered food yesterday but I barely ate any of it so hopefully I have more of a desire to eat when I get home later.

I think I'm too chicken to drive down there though. I don't want to get in trouble. I'm scared of driving on the interstate by myself. It's embarrassing because I have been driving for over 10 years now and I have only done it twice. When I was with my ex, he would insist on driving everywhere. I didn't like driving with him in the car anyway because he would criticize me the whole time and scream at me. I remember having to take him to work when he didn't have a car and he was always in such a bad mood. There were a few times that he got physical with me when I was trying to drive and it was so scary so it's amazing I didn't get in an accident.

I've only had one major car accident. I remember I was driving by myself and trying to turn off the highway. I got hit by a truck that was going at least 55 mph. He hit the rear right side of my car. I was so sad because that was my grandma's car and it was totaled. I miss my little Jetta. I thought I had enough time to get out of the way but I wasn't a very experienced driver when that happened. There was an off-duty cop that saw the whole thing happen and he came and helped me right away because I was in shock. I haven't had a lot of good experiences with the police but he was very helpful and I'm glad he was there. The guy that hit me was such an asshole and didn't give a shit if I was ok or not. He was more concerned about his massive truck and he didn't have as much damage as I did. I never even spoke to him and he stayed on the other side of the intersection. Luckily I didn't get too injured. I just had whiplash and bruises from the seat belt. I hate making left turns in front of heavy traffic now so now I go out of my way to avoid that even if it takes me longer to get where I'm going.

It took a long time to get a new car and the one I have now was free because it was my ex's brother's old car. His family bought him a brand new car and they were just going to send it to the scrap yard even though it wasn't in that bad of shape at the time. That was one of the few things my ex's family helped me with and I'm grateful that I have it. I probably wouldn't have a car still if they hadn't given it to me. It was sort of my ticket to freedom because I didn't have to rely on my ex for rides anymore. It's falling apart now but I don't take it for granted. I don't know what I would've done without it. I still think it's fun to drive despite all of the issues it has.

I hope I can try to clean up some more of my mess this weekend. It's really not as bad as it looks in that picture I took last week. I have cleaned up a little bit since then. I am going to take some more trash out and maybe get some of the boxes out of here that I can't use for other things. I'm going to change the sheets on my bed because I bought some new ones and I'm going to throw this mattress pad away because it sucks. I'm not really looking forward to not having one on the bed at all because it was hurting me before which is why I bought one in the first place. It worked for a little while. It would really help if I could do my laundry because most of my mess is just dirty clothes and some trash. I am just going to start boxing up the dirty ones because I don't have anywhere to put them. I don't even plan on keeping all of them. I will probably sell a lot of them at a garage sale or something once I can wash them. I can't afford to keep ordering new ones because I need to save money so I can go part time. I hope we can get a new washing machine sometime soon because I can't get my portable one hooked up. I thought it would work in my bathroom but we can't get it hooked up to the faucet because it's so old and corroded. I would go to the laundromat but I don't know if I have the energy to haul my clothes around. I had a hard enough time trying to take them down to the basement when our washer still worked. I used to have to go to the laundromat when I lived in Florida and it gives me anxiety now because I had some bad experiences.

I'm going to try not to stress out about stuff the rest of the day. I'm doing my best to stay positive. I'm glad I only have to work a few hours and I don't think it will be too crazy when I get there. I should probably stop rambling now. I am going to finish getting ready for work soon because I need to leave around 11:30. Thank you all for listening to me vent about stuff. I hope that everyone enjoys the rest of their day. 💖💖💖

eddie x cheerleader (strangers 2 lovers)

she had an awful fight with her deadbeat dad when she got out of work at the diner he told her he would try to take dustin away from her and her mom and when she refuses he slashes her face with a beer bottle 3 times ,

shes not close with the other cheerleaders so shes having a bad day

she chooses to sit with hellfire cuz dustin is her brother

eddie gets mad cuz he thinks its a joke to humiliate them so he tells her to go away

she listens but shes crying even more

she apologizes to everyone including dustin when she leaves & leaves him half her sandwich

dustin mike and lucas all say something mean to eddie and they follow u

they find u sitting in ur car and they join u

u and the boys avoid eddie for the rest of the day and he ultimately feels horrible when he overhears u crying to dustin , lucas and mike about why ur upset & then he hears u say he made it worse

he tries to talk to dustin but dustins crying too cuz we’re his best friend and he hates his dad he would never wanna leave Y/N and mike and lucas tell eddie he needs to figure it out how to apologize on his own so he does and u guys get close and both fall in love eventually

⚠️mentions of abuse- no detailed descriptions of the action.

⚠️Eddie is an asshole but he slowly figures it out

Thank you sm for your patience as I worked to get this out💕

Y/N woke up sore with puffy eyes. Her reflection wasn't ever a pretty girl anymore. It was a girl who was abused, hurt, and drained. She gently cleaned the three new marks on her face. Her skin slashed open from her dad. She felt tears falling down her face as she was reminded of last night. Him waiting for her to finish work, threatening to take away Dustin from her. She'd never let that happen. She refused to let her dad ever see Dustin. She'd take the abuse, but she will never let Dustin be the target.

"are you sure you're okay?" Dustin asked from behind her. Sadness in his eyes as he watched his sister place band aid patches on her cheek.

"yes, don't worry about me dusty" she said, she gave the best smile she could. The bandage stopped her from making a real one.

Dustin knew not to try to fight with her. Nodding as he kissed her hurt cheek, heading to get ready for school.

She felt everyone staring at her cheek and she hated it. Luckily everyone in this school was an asshole. None caring to ask if she was okay or what happened. That included her cheerleading team. A group of girls she was with constantly but didn't have a real single friend on it.

She didn't want to deal with them so she headed to where she knows Dustin's table is. Seeing only Mike was seated, she took the spot across from him.

"hey Y/N, you okay?" Mike asked gently. Being closest to Dustin, he knew all about Y/N's relationship with her father.

"not today Mike" she said as gently as she could. Opening her lunch box, dividing her sandwich in half and digging out Dustin's half of the brownie.

She ate silently as the table filled up. Dustin still wasn't arriving yet, so she left his parts of lunch near her lunchbox.

"and who the fuck are you?"

She looked up to see a taller and much older boy, compared to the rest of the table. He had long hair and deep brown eyes. She's definitely seen him with Dustin, but couldn't recall his name

Before she could even answer, he spoke again.

"I don't know what game your little cheerleader ass is playing. But we don't allow stuck up assholes to sit at our table" he barked out, very harshly.

So harsh that she felt like her dad was standing across from her.

"Eddie stop" Mike said harshly as he could see Y/N's eyes watering.

"Mike shut up. I'm handling this" Eddie, apparently, said.

His brown eyes, glaring daggers at her softening slightly when he noticed her bandaged cheek but moved on. Figuring it was some cheerleading accident. She sat quietly letting him continue his rant.

Letting him call her every name in the book. A bitch, a princess, stuck up, rich, and shit she's never heard of.

She sat there and silently cried. Head down as she tried to take deep breaths. Reminding herself this was a random boy, it wasn't her dad and he wasn't going to hurt her.

She panicked when she felt a hand grab her shoulder. Flinching as she flew out of her seat.

Eddie quickly withdrew his hand as she practically sprung out of the seat. His eyes softened once again when he saw tears working down her face.

"Y/N, what's wrong?" Dustin quickly dropped his tray on the table and walked closer to her.

She shook her head and wiped her tears.

"nothing dusty. See you at home" she said quickly, handing him the sandwich and brownie. Racing as fast as she could out of that cafeteria.

~~

"dusty?home? Who is that?" Eddie asked

"that's my sister. What the fuck did you do?" Dustin snapped, Lucas walked up confused at all the tension.

"what's going on?" He asked

"Eddie just totally freaks out on Y/N for no goddamn reason" Mike scoffed. Standing up as he grabbed his backpack.

"really Eddie. What did she do to you?" Lucas added in

"what you say to her?" Dustin said filled with anger. He didn't take that Eddie could easily kick his ass. He can't protect his sister from their dad, but he can protect her from Eddie.

"I didn't know she was your sister! I saw a cheerleader sitting here and I just got pissed" Eddie tried to explain. But seeing all three boys staring at him with the most pissed off look he's ever seen, he had a good feeling he fucked up.

"so you lashed out on her totally unprovoked? I mean did she even say anything to you?" Dustin argue.

"well no...she just kinda sat there and before I knew it she was crying. I didn't think she'd be so upset. Usually the jocks are cold-hearted assholes." Eddie tried to defend his stance

"SHE'S NOT LIKE THEM!" Dustin screamed.

"she only joined that stupid team to get a scholarship so she can leave this hellhole of what she's forced to call home. Fuck you Eddie" Dustin snapped as he grabbed his backpack. Marching straight to the parking lot.

"dude you know nothing about her. If you did, you'd feel like the biggest ass right now" Mike sighed, following behind Dustin.

"well I already feel like an ass" Eddie sighed

"that's a shame. She was excited that Dustin found a new friend. After this, I don't think he's going to ever want to see you again" Lucas added, following behind Mike.

Eddie decided to follow the group. At least he could apologize for being an asshole. He found all of them standing in a circle against her car.

Eddie gave them their space but waited to talk to her. With being so close he could easily hear their conversation.

~~

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your guys' lunch. Go eat, I'm fine" Y/N said as she wiped her face. Carefully not to touch her bandage.

"you didn't. Let's take deep breaths and talk a little bit. I know you don't want to talk about last night but may-"

"Dustin! I told you last night never happened and we don't speak about it." She snapped

"you can't let dad abuse you like this" Dustin said softly as he touched his sister's cheek.

Mike held her hand softly and Lucas rubbed her back.

~~

Eddie felt a very bad feeling in his gut.

He's been abused, he knows what it felt like. He didn't ever think twice about a girl being on the cheerleading team would struggle with the same shit he has. Eddie wanted to be better than the jocks but he proved he was just like them. Judging someone based on how others perceived them.

"I don't know what happened. But the way he was calling me names made me think of dad. And I shut down. But then he touched me and my brain was screaming at me to prepare for another blow."

Eddie could feel his own tears in the back of his eyes.

Eddie can't believe he allowed himself to be something he hated.

He was abused, he should have noticed the signs. He should have stopped talking the second she got quiet and didn't say a word.

If it was a joke, like he thought. She wouldn't have sat there and taken every word.

He was an idiot.

He took a deep breath and wiped his eyes. Putting his hands in his jeans as he walked towards the group. All seated in the car, except for Dustin.

"hey Dustin can I talk to her?" Eddie asked softly.

He watched as her eyes snapped to him through the windshield. He wanted to offer her a small smile but his heart shattered at the fear that rested as she quickly looked away

"hell to the fucking no. Leave her and us alone. We won't be at hellfire tonight" Dustin snapped as he slammed the car door.

Eddie watched as she drove out of the parking lot.

~~

Dustin stook to his word. Not a single one of them showed up to hellfire. And Eddie wasn't even upset he had to cancel the campaign. He was more upset with the fact he put himself in a position that he wasn't sure he could get out of.

~~

A few days past and the three little sheep, and Dustin's sister hasn't looked in his direction. They all sat at a table in the back corner, smiling and laughing.

Eddie noticed her cheek was no longer banged. Small marks left in her cheek but she smiled like she wasn't bothered.

Eddie thought she was gorgeous. He thought she was gorgeous when he first saw her at the table but watching as she laughed so hard, she had to clench her stomach. He realized how beautiful she really was.

She didn't deserve what he said to her and she deserved a real apology.

~~

Y/N was searching through her car when she heard someone knock on her window. She jumped and quickly looked to see Eddie standing there.

She rolled down her window

"can I talk to you?" Eddie asked as he peaked his head in

"um I guess" she said quietly.

Eddie hated how closed off her body was. She didn't feel safe near him and he gave a good reason for that.

"I wanted to say I'm really fucking sorry. I was completely wrong. I should have never spoken to you like that. I should have never put a hand on you. You didn't deserve any of that"

She nodded with a small smile. Showing that she appreciated his words.

"I also overheard you talking to Dustin about your dad"

Her body stiffened quickly and Eddie noticed

"it's okay. I actually have been there before" he said softly, pulling out a piece of paper.

"I used to call this number every time my dad got done hitting me. No matter the time, they will pick up. And I added my number at the bottom. In case you need someone who can slightly understand." Eddie smiled as soft as he could.

"thanks Eddie" she said tearfully. Putting the piece of paper in her backpack

~~

She calls Eddie every night, and he always picks up. He listens and listens. He never hangs up first or says he has to go. He devoted all his time into her calls. Speaking of things he buried down to forget. But allowing himself to open it back up for her.

The more she called, the less it was about her dad. She just loved hearing his voice. It made her feel giddy and excited. She was terrified the first time she called without wanting to talk about her dad. Afraid he'd hang up because that wasn't the reason he gave his number out.

"hey Eddie. I'm actually doing good tonight but I still wanted to talk to you. Maybe about happy things? I know it's stupid and that's not why you gave me your number but i-"

"shh it's okay. I gave you my number because I wanted to. And I'll gladly sit here and listen to you talk about anything you want gorgeous. Hit me with it"

After that call, she screamed into her pillow and kicked her feet. Dustin teased her for it for weeks. Making kissy faces at the lunch table when Eddie looked away.

"OW!" Dustin screamed as she kicked his leg under the table.

Eddie turned to the noise, "you good Henderson?" He asked as he looked at Dustin concerned

"totally" Dustin huffed out as he rubbed his leg.

Then she wanted more. She wanted more than phone calls

"random question but would you maybe want to go eat sometime? Talk in person instead?" Her body was shaking with anxiety. Preparing for a no

"only agreeing if this means I get to finally take you on a date"

And after that, there were many more dates planned.

𝙷𝙰𝙸𝙺𝚈𝚄𝚄 𝙱𝙾𝚈𝚂 - 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙰𝚁𝙰𝚂𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝚂𝙴𝚇 𝙼𝙾𝙼𝙴𝙽𝚃𝚂

hehe, i’m back at it again with one of these long ass posts but this idea’s literally been in my head all day long so here you go !! obvious nsfw warning :)

tw: this whole post is just nsfw and embarrassing to read so read at your own risk >:)

𝙳𝙰𝙸𝙲𝙷𝙸 » during a super intense and loud session, his voice cracked as he asked you “does that feel goOD- good baby?” to this day, he still prays that you couldn’t hear him over the sound of your own moans

𝚂𝚄𝙶𝙰𝚆𝙰𝚁𝙰 » you were riding him and he went to slap your ass, but something went wrong either because you were riding too quickly or he was shaking too much, boy ended up slapping himself in the balls. you’ve never heard that boy scream that loud in your life

𝙰𝚂𝙰𝙷𝙸 » literally pulled out in the middle of sex to get up and rush to the corner of his room to flip around his childhood teddy bears. your just laying there with your tiddies and coochie out waiting for asahi to shield the eyes of mr. wiggles

𝚃𝙰𝙽𝙰𝙺𝙰 » you two were having pretty intense shower sex until tanaka did the number one thing your not supposed to do during shower sex; this muthafucker slipped while holding you. long story short, y’all were okay but just ended up having nasty shower floor sex??

𝙽𝙸𝚂𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙾𝚈𝙰 » this tiny ass 5′2 man was unconsciously humping your leg while you were both asleep?? his presumably pleasurable wet dream had turned into a sudden nightmare when you literally had to KICK him off you to stop the humping. bad nishinoya, bad!

𝙺𝙰𝙶𝙴𝚈𝙰𝙼𝙰 » came WAYYY too early inside you, but he was too embarrassed to say anything so he just... kept going. sadly, no one had warned kageyama of the intense effects of overstimulation. he was shaking and whimpering so badly behind you to the point where you had to ask him to pull out and bring him a glass of water to calm down

𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙰𝚃𝙰 » the first time you squirted on him, he just blatantly asked you these exact few words that left you feeling mortified: “did you just piss on me?” nuh uh hinata, this water fountain ain’t yours to drown in anymore >:( 

𝚃𝚂𝚄𝙺𝙸𝚂𝙷𝙸𝙼𝙰 » kei was hitting it from the back pretty hard this time, so hard that you were suddenly... on an angle? suddenly, now you two were much closer to the floor than before. the bed ended up collapsing, yes literally collapsing due to kei’s powerful thrusts. worst part is, nobody got to finish since kei dragged you to ikea to grumpily buy a new bedframe. but hey, he bought you ikea meatballs; that shit hits so different

𝚈𝙰𝙼𝙰𝙶𝚄𝙲𝙷𝙸 » one super duper intense night, he passed out the SECOND he came. no matter how much you flicked the temple of his forehead, yamaguchi was dead asleep. you had to literally slap him awake to get him to clean up, you ain’t risking a ranky stanky UTI puthy in the morning

𝙾𝙸𝙺𝙰𝚆𝙰 » kept calling himself a sex machine during the act. i don’t know if it was due to the 6 tequila shots he had beforehand or just his inner ego revealing, whatever it was it was about to make your pussy close

𝙸𝚆𝙰𝚉𝚄𝙼𝙸 » this one time, he kept going in at a weird angle which caused you to repeatedly queef for 7 minutes straight. every time you told him to pull out and go in properly, he laughed and kept going in at that one weird angle!! was your embarrassment a turn on for him?? maybe!! but were you mortified? absolutely!!

𝙼𝙰𝚃𝚃𝚂𝚄𝙽 » i’m sorry to have to be the one to announce this, but this man had the worst case of full blown bush you’ve ever seen. like, he didn’t even try to manscape or anything at all. you ended up begging him to trim just a tiny bit because you weren’t gonna risk choking on a pube whilst your going down on him

𝙷𝙰𝙽𝙰𝙼𝙰𝙺𝙸 » rubbed your left labia thinking it was your clit. and he kept doing that. the whole. fucking. time. even when you subtly moved his fingers towards your clit, he just kept going back to the left lip.

𝙺𝚄𝙽𝙸𝙼𝙸 » had the most dry and dull dirty talk you’ve ever heard. like, it’s not even dirty talk at this point; it’s just clean talk. there’s no passion when he talks! he uses the same tone he would use for anyone else at any other moment. to paint the picture, imagine riding kunimi and he’s just there with a furrowed expression like “yup, that feels really good”

𝙺𝚈𝙾𝚃𝙰𝙽𝙸 » tried to pull one of those unexpected anal scenes that he saw from a porno, without telling you beforehand. life lesson here; if you party at shit's house, don't be surprised if shit's at the party

𝙺𝚄𝚁𝙾𝙾 » you two were looking to get a little more kinky in terms of BDSM, so kuroo watched like 30 tutorials on youtube on how to safely tie you up so you won’t fall or anything. this bitch ended up tying rope knots that were practically impossible to undo, which resulted in you hanging from the ceiling for approximately 2 hours pussy-ass naked while kuroo tried to cut you down with a kitchen knife

𝙺𝙴𝙽𝙼𝙰 » wanted to spice things up with some dirty talk, like the real nasty talk they use in pornos but not the normal pornos; the shitty company ones with horrific acting. he really ended up announcing that he was going to “fuck your fucking fanny off, you twat”

𝙻𝙴𝚅 » got super excited while he was opening the lube since he hadn’t gotten to fuck you in a WHILE, which resulted the lube leaked everywhere and a giant 6′5 man slipping and hitting his head on the bed frame. worst part is; he had to go to the ER with a hard on that refused to go away

𝙱𝙾𝙺𝚄𝚃𝙾 » speaking of boners that wouldn’t go away, let’s not forget that one time bokuto took two viagras when you texted him to come over for a special occasion. he horribly misinterpreted the ‘special occasion’ text, because he showed up to your house with a huge buldge in his pants as your parents stand before him holding anniversary cards, completely horrified

𝙰𝙺𝙰𝙰𝚂𝙷𝙸 » wanted to make valentines day sex as romantic as he could, so he did the classic lighting candles and giving roses. everything was beautiful, until he accidently knocked one of the bigger candles over during missionary. this not only caused a huge ass fire in your bedroom, but he came right as the fire began to spread. boy was debating on whether his orgasm was to die for or not

𝙺𝙾𝙽𝙾𝙷𝙰 » had a nose bleed when he was going down on you and you both were immediately horrified, you thinking it was your period and him thinking he just ate coochie blood. yet as you went to go clean up, you realized his face had much more blood on it than your coochie did. to this day, he still blames it on your period 

𝚄𝚂𝙷𝙸𝙹𝙸𝙼𝙰 » threw you onto the bed and your head went through the wall. he didn’t even bother to ask you if you were okay, he just sighed and went “well, now i have to make a call to the construction guy. excuse me” and he left you and your concussed ass head sit there once again, pussy ass naked

𝚃𝙴𝙽𝙳𝙾𝚄 » during a blowjob, he held your head down right as he was coming causing the cum to shoot up your throat and somehow pour out of your nose. by the time he pulled out, he could barely breath from laughing at you. sure, the classic ‘milk shooting out of nose’ thing was funny at first until you got a sinus infection and had to breath out of your mouth for the next three days

𝚂𝙴𝙼𝙸 » always insists having sex in the most inconvenient places?? like he would pull you to side while grocery shopping and start grinding up against you as you pick which brand of cheese would be better??

𝙶𝙾𝚂𝙷𝙸𝙺𝙸 » he kept getting frustrated that his bangs were clouding his field of vision, so he irritably grabbed a hair tie and frantically tied up the sides of his bangs while he was fucking you. you immediately burst out laughing since he looked exactly like boo from monsters inc. 

𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚄𝚂𝙷𝙸𝙼𝙰 » got so drunk that he ended up fucking the couch. like he was just there on top of you, and his dick was just sliding between the folds of the leather couch. you decided to let him finish like that

𝚂𝙰𝙺𝚄𝚂𝙰 » had a really bad reaction to one of the products he used while shaving and ended up getting super irritated down there so he kept having to pull out in-between thrusts to itch his crotch. to make things worse, you joking suggested that he looked like he had syphilis and he got so disgusted at the idea of that thought that he literally had to pull out and take a breather 

𝙾𝚂𝙰𝙼𝚄 » drizzled ‘warm’ chocolate down your chest and was about to seductively lick it off until you screamed in pain and horror as the chocolate was literally burning your skin off. osamu panicked, obviously not knowing what to do if chocolate was burning his partners skin off so he just... frantically licked it off. you still had to go to the ER afterwards to get treated for mild burns

𝙰𝚂𝚃𝚄𝙼𝚄 » didn’t know what a hymen was until the first time he tried to have sex with you. no matter how much he tried to shove his schlong in, it really just wasn’t working + “yer puss is broken”

���𝚄𝙽𝙰 » pinched your nipples so fucking hard to the point where you started crying. he thoughts these were tears of pleasure until you literally had to kick him off you. but hey, he gave you ice for your sore nipples and mcdonalds! what more could a girl possibly want :)

uh the end lol

also, this idea was inspired by the first haikyuu headcanon i ever read, “awkward sex moments” by @bbytetsu <3

Beyond the norm| part 8

The next morning Colby got up super early and so did you. You wanted to say goodbye to him before he left. He hugged you tight and kissed the nape of your neck. Looking into your eyes when he pulled back and kissed you, you kissed back rubbing his neck with your fingers.

When you pulled away you smiled at each other.

" Take care of yourself, Colby, okay?"

" Don't worry I will and you do the same. I know Elton, he has some crazy stuff planned for sure so just be careful."

" I will be, I promise."

You shared one last kiss before he had to go and you watched as he closed the door of the room and looked out the window as he got into a taxi heading for the airport.

You plopped back to bed and fell asleep again until an alarm clock woke you up. You got dressed and met up with the boys.

" Morning everyone, so today we have skydiving and jet ski riding on the schedule." Elton informed everyone and you and Sam were pretty excited whereas Corey was scared.

" You know I hate heights Elton!" He exclaimed loudly and all of you laughed.

After some time you arrived at the place of skydiving and got ready, the camera taking everyone's mood at the moment and you were all excited and slightly nervous.

When you jumped out of the plane and went free falling you screamed in adrenaline, it was the most intense and the most exciting moment of your life. The wind blowing to your face as you got closer and closer to the ground.

When everyone was on the ground, nobody could stop talking about it and about how amazing it felt. The next thing to do was the jet skis, each of you got one and went out to the open water. Just jumping up on the waves. It was so much fun. You loved experiencing new stuff and this was the best way to do it.

At dinner is when you started to realize how much you miss Colby already. You were quiet while you ate your food, only occasionally engaging in the conversation.

Sam very easily picked up on your bad mood and tried making jokes and telling funny stories to make you laugh and just make you feel better. But it didn't work very well, though you appreciated the effort.

After dinner he knocked on the door of your room and when you opened it he reached out his hand to you.

" I know you've been sad today because of Colby, so let me take you out for a walk to make it better. Or at least try to make it better."

" Sam…you don't have to do this. I'm fine, it's just so strange without Colby here you know?"

"Yeah I know, it feels weird for me too. But we can let that stop us from enjoying our time here. Come on, we still have so much to talk about and get to know each other."

He was right, you smiled softly at him and accepted his offered hand. You walked out of the hotel and down to the beach. The moonlight reflecting on the water.

"So y/n, what is it that you like to do? What is your passion? Besides traveling obviously."

" Well, you know, paranormal stuff, exploring, getting new experiences and memories. It's no accident that I watch your guys' videos." You smiled as you looked ahead.

" Nice…anything else, for me it's playing guitar and cars though supposedly I'm not that good of a driver. I crashed once before."

" Really? Wow I'm glad you're okay. And yeah there's something else but I'm not any good at it. I really love to sing."

"Oh really.? Huh.. guess I have a type.." Sam mumbled to himself, thinking about Katrina.

" What was that?" You ask squinting your eyes curiously at him.

" Nothing. Also how do you know you're not good at singing? Would you let me hear you?"

You hesitated and then nodded. You might as well, maybe you'll even start the singing channel you've been meaning to do for a while.

" Okay we'll figure something out, maybe you can play guitar while I sing." You smiled looking at him. He grinned back at you. Taking off his lashirt he threw it to the sand as you looked at him puzzled.

He just smirked at you. " Feel free to join me on a night swim if you want." With that he ran into the water and dove in. Swimming in the waves, smiling and waiting if you'll join him or not.

You laughed and stripped to the swim suit you had under your clothes and followed Sam into the water. You started splashing each other while laughing as you laid on your back floating and looking up at the sky, while Sam was watching you with a smile on his face.

" This was the best idea. Swimming so late in the moonlight. Thank you Sam, for making me feel better."

" You're welcome."

Soon you get out of the water and walk back to the hotel, Sam walking you up to your room while making small talk.

" See you tomorrow y/n…goodnight"

" Goodnight Sam"

You smile at each other and you walk in the room closing the door while he walks to his. Both of you looking forward to another day of adventure…

[hollowsart]

Got a little interest in this, so here’s my little “skeleton” of this story I guess, I’m not great at this, but I’m fairly pleased with how this is turned out, hope you guys enjoy this silly thing and don't mind how long it is!

======

Summary: Acedia is NY's one and only Cryptid Crawler. Life takes a turn after a spider bite and things start spiraling like a domino effect, when she thinks the worst is over.. it gets worse. She is determined, however, to help however she can. Doing her best as always.

Once Upon A Time:

Acedia was once a regular human with no powers, living relatively alone. She never really did much, never having the ability to do things that she may have wanted. A shy, anxiety ridden adult just trying to get by. day in and day out, all the same, her frustrations with life weighing her down mentally.

And Every Day:

Her days were monotonous routine with occasional small deviations, like visiting the park for some fresh air, going on free tours to save money, hanging out with a friend, and other menial things. It wasn't a bad life, just.. boring.

Day to day, having small simple jobs to work here and there to earn a living and survive. Still, she wished for just a little more, just a little more excitement, it was really all she could do. Wish. Dream. Hope. Never having the guts to put herself out there on purpose. Life was a personal heck.

Until One Day:

It wasn't until she had gotten bit by a spider that hitched a ride on her bag one day after taking a free tour of an animal lab that things started to change. The changes were slow and small, first discovering she can walk on walls and experimenting with these new changes and abilities. Telling her friend and getting the idea to make a name and costume for herself.. the costume was a bit.. silly. She didn't have the best skills in clothes making or sewing, so she opted for something already made in her closet. A little onesie of her favorite animal, a sloth. She wasn’t really one for sp!ders.. they scared her.

She was extremely timid around people and valued self preservation, however.. she did always seem to somehow stumble her way into these situations of taking out very small crime. Petty shoplifters and muggers here and there, just getting a slight hang of things. Learning some things about fighting and her new abilities with first hand experience.

That was, until one night she got hit with a horrible sense of something bad happening across town. She chased the feeling, using her heightened sense, all the way to the infamous Oscorp building. The place had always given her an uneasy feeling even before the bite. She knew she had to act fast and find the source of what was setting off her senses.

She crawled around the outside of the building, locating the room of interest and making her way inside the shattered window. This is where she discovered the unconscious body of Doctor Otto Octavius. He had a horrible accident, not caused by himself, but by his boss who had already fled the scene long before Acedia arrived.

Acedia worked fast after assessing and being relieved that she hadn't stumbled upon a murder scene. Using her gifted strength to lift and carry the poor man out of there and to the nearest hospital she could.

And Because Of That:

That night, and for a good couple of weeks after that, she didn't have the best of sleep. The anxiety and worry ate away at her. She didn't know the man, but she needed to know he was alright and so, she set out to visit him.. not in person, though. Picking out her costume again she went to the hospital and, once again, she crawled around the outside, locating his room.

He appeared fine and well now, but that metal contraption was still wrapped around him it seemed. She was just thankful he was alive. She left a small gift on the sill of his window, tapping the glass before leaving.

And Because Of That:

Otto may have appeared fine on the outside, but just like the scars that will soon enough be on his back, he had scars of the mind as well. The poor man had merely been doing his job, trying to please his body and not wanting to risk losing his job.. only to be thanked with an attempted murder. Something like that made him a bit.. unstable. It wasn't like him, but his anger and frustration at his boss was slowly growing as he recovered his energy from that night.

So, when he was healthy and healed enough physically and given access to his actuators again, he couldn't help himself.. couldn't stop himself. He sought out revenge on his boss for all he'd put him through for the many years he'd worked for him. Escaping the hospital with his actuators reattached.

Unfortunately for him, Acedia would come back once more to try and check in on how he was doing.. only to find he had gone missing and his window shattered with markings along the side of the building.

And Because Of That:

Acedia picked up a sense-- a familiar one.. one that brought back the dread from that night. She tracked him down back to Oscorp. Finding the entrance shattered and many people fleeing and screaming.. She needed to act fast before someone got hurt.

Using the elevator and even scrambling up the side of the building, she made it to the top. The boss's office floor. She looked inside and narrowly avoided an object being thrown at the window, shattering it completely. Shouting and crashing came from inside and she hurried in quickly before things escalated further. Witnessing the sight of Otto in some new clothes, hovering in the air with the help of his actuators. Two of which were around Norman Osborn, his boss.

From what Otto was saying Acedia knew she had to be fast. Shouting herself and gaining the confused attention of Otto and Norman. Part of her felt this was a bad idea, but she knew it was the right thing to do if it meant saving a life (oh, if only she knew). She was quick again to dodge a mechanical arm zipping toward her, bounding back in response with her words to try and coax Otto to leave Norman alone.. bad idea.

He dropped Norman, which was her intention, but he soon and very quickly rushed toward her, she scrambled quickly out the window and down to the nearest open window on the lower levels. He chased after her.

And Because Of That:

The chase was exhausting for both parties involved, but eventually Acedia was able to talk Otto out of whatever mental state he was in. Otto piecing together who she was and realizing who Acedia was-- the one who had saved him that night. He broke down in tears and apologies. He didn't know anymore what he was doing and she did what she could to console him, offering him a hug. He was hesitant but quickly accepted it.. he really needed this. Kind words and a warm embrace.

Otto apologized for everything he'd done, for causing such trouble.. and for ruining Acedia's costume. He offered to make it up to her, telling her of where he lived and to drop by sometime to visit and to discuss what he can do for her, to repay her. Acedia agreed, but asked he write it down so she could remember.

She was nervous, as always, when she had dropped by, but after some time together she relaxed and opened up a bit. She and Otto worked together and came up with a new costume for her to wear as a thank you gift. He insisted she didn't need to do anything more for him to pay him back, saving his life like she had was more than enough.

Until Finally:

A different man in Otto’s life sprung up not too long after, causing trouble and attacking the same man Otto had before. Acedia, still unaware but slowly growing a bad feeling about Norman Osborn, took it upon herself to once more try and help him, save him.

Little did she know, this next fight would be at her disadvantage. How could she fight someone who could fly when she, herself, was incapable and afraid of heights? Using her new vine shooter tool she was at least able to gain his attention-- unfortunately, she felt more like a sitting cloth in an open canopy than she has ever felt before with a flying predator swooping in.

The fight was luckily resolved by Otto finding her and using the actuators on his back to stop the man attacking her.. The man turned out to be Otto’s closest friend and business partner. He’d been distressed ever since he came back from a business trip a week ago unable to contact or find Otto, believing that Norman had done something to him-- and killed him. Adrian, Acedia now learns, is beyond relieved that Otto was alive and well.. Well. Mostly. aside from the arms now fused to his body, but that’s a story for another day. Otto will explain everything to Adrian later.

Despite what Adrian had done to her that night, Acedia willingly drops by to check on the older man, concerned about him, which surprises Adrian. However, he accepts her company and apologizes for how he acted and all. She continues to visit on occasion, bringing Otto along, too.

And Since That Day:

Acedia’s life may have changed, but it’s not so bad. She’s gained two new friends, a “grandpa” and a partner. Her life has definitely gotten more exciting just as she had always wanted, the monotony is no more and she’s doing a lot better mentally and.. despite everything that’s happened, she's happy.

More things have occurred since then, however, and with Otto as her partner in fighting crime and Adrian’s occasional aid, she’s able to handle whatever comes her way a lot better. Fighting crime, saving people, and solving some mysteries in her own little way.. And befriending some bad guys along the way.

SUMMARY. Todoroki Shouto was a wealthy, young CEO who inherited his father’s enterprise. You were a barista at a local cafe who wouldn’t mind some extra cash.

Shouto’s day went from good to bad faster than it took to pull an espresso. 

It started off with a good morning text from you and having a brief, but pleasant, interaction at your work. Actually, the past few weeks have been going along a similar routine that he found himself settling into all too comfortably. You even upheld your promise of stealing him away one weekend to walk around the park, get food, and just have time to relax and be happy for once. 

Getting to be in your presence almost daily became so normalized in his life that even some of his employees heard about the cute barista with the best pastries. Yet, although he saw you often, he found himself wanting to talk to you more and more.

But for now, Shouto told himself to settle with starting the mornings off with you. They were the best mornings he’s had in a while and he didn’t want to sound ungrateful. 

Today, however, went sour fast after he heard his father was coming up to the top floor for a meeting with him. He didn’t find the idea of Enji visiting to be the most abhorrent thing, but the moment his father opened his mouth, Shouto quickly took that back. 

As expected, his father reminded him about the annual charity gala Todoroki Enterprises was expected to attend. Handfuls of galas ran through the year, but the once hosted by Naruhata Industries under the guise of raising money and awareness for the charities of choice.

In theory, a charity gala ball sounded humanitarian and a way for the upper class to give back, but in reality, most of the funds collected didn’t go to the actual charities, instead they went to paying for the venue, live bands, entertainment, the most expensive catering, decorations, and more. What presented itself as a charitable event in the eyes of the public was really a way rich people could flaunt their wealth and feel good about themselves for doing absolutely nothing to benefit society. A way for the rich to suck their own dicks, if you would. 

Shouto absolutely hated it. 

It was also a press opportunity and, in his father’s eyes, a way to gain public favor for the Todoroki business. Today, Enji attempted to tell him that bringing a date that fit the mold of high society was the best way for him to establish rapport through media coverage. Apparently, the image news outlets have placed on Shouto were either a heartbreaker and playboy with no care for other’s emotions, or a monotonous stoic who seemed like a robot with no care for other’s emotions.

In either cases, there seemed to be a theme of Shouto not caring for others. 

He sighed. 

“You can’t keep that image, Shouto,” said Enji with his arms folded across his chest. “If the media sees you with someone—a nice girl with a good upbringing—then your likeability will increase tenfold. If there’s no one you like, I’ll have to set up a date for you.”

For a while, he was torn between telling his dad to fuck off and trying to do as he said to keep peace within the family. But then, an image of you popped into his head.

“Actually, there is someone I like.” 

Enji narrowed his eyes. “Oh? An educated girl with wealthy parents?”

“There’s someone I like,” he simply repeated, the tone in his voice growing cold. 

He didn’t know anything about your upbringing or family nor did he exactly care. Shouto didn’t want to bring a date to the dumb gala, but if he had to, he would want it to be you. Only if you agreed, of course. But if you weren’t willing, then he had to face the facts that his father would most likely force a date of his own choosing upon Shouto. 

“That’s good you like someone, son,” Enji said through his teeth, “but we have to make sure it’s not some sort of...loose woman. That’d be even worse publicity—”

“I like someone and if you really cared about my happiness like you said you did, that’d be enough.”

There was a tense silence in the air. Shouto didn’t have enough fingers to count the number of times Enji had told him and his siblings that he would try to be a better dad. A caring dad who only wanted what was best for his children. A better husband for Rei. A better example for the public. The first few times, Shouto believed it. But Enji said the same things over and over again with no lasting change and Shouto was just fed up. 

After hearing the same lie told to him over and over again, it seemed to lose its weight. He seemed to lose his hope in his father ever changing.

Still, Shouto had to deal with him for as long as he lived. That much he knew as a son living in this society. 

But he hoped Enji at least had enough guilt to let him have this.

“Fine.”

Shouto blinked in surprise. 

Enji stated, “If you think your date can help your public image and not be a complete embarrassment to the business, you can bring them.”

That was the closest thing to approval Shouto would get today. He nodded and listened along to whatever else his father had to say, the only thing actually on his mind was thinking about how he would ask you out on a date to some stuffy gala. And hope that you’d say yes.

— ✩ —

“Wait, so, let me get this straight— You’re the CEO of Todoroki Enterprises and even after almost two months of knowing you, I had no clue?”

He inclined his head, looking solemn. “Yes, I’m sorry. Are you upset with me for not telling you sooner?” 

Initial shock aside, you couldn’t say that you were too surprised at the revelation. You knew Shouto was wealthy and probably in some high-up position in the business industry, but you never knew to what extent. A CEO? That had to be the highest rank in a company! And a company as well known as Todoroki Enterprises? 

The thought made you a little nervous. The guy you slowly befriended over the course of short cafe visits and silly texts was Mr. Todoroki? Or worse— The guy you stole away from doing work for a whole weekend was someone as busy as a CEO? You internally groaned. That had to be against laws of the universe or something. 

“I’m not upset, no,” you said with a shake of your head. “I just...can’t believe it I guess.” Eyes widening, you were quick to amend your words. “Well, I can believe it. You seem very intelligent and well-put together and, uh, rich! But I guess I just didn’t think a CEO would be so funny and kind.” You winced. “Oh no, is that mean to say?”

“I don’t think it’s mean.” He shrugged. “You’re right to say most people in this field aren’t known for their delightful temperaments.” 

You absentmindedly drummed your finger against your thigh, trying to process this new information. “So you’re Todoroki Shouto...and you want me to be your date to the Naruhata Charity Ball?” 

“Yeah. I know it’s a huge favor to ask, and I promise you can say no if you choose,” said Shouto in earnest. “I don’t want you to feel obligated to agree.” 

With a hum, you stretched your legs out under the table before crossing one over the other again. It was a Saturday afternoon where you had no work and Shouto managed to escape from his for a few hours of the day. You took him to your favorite ice cream place nearby and the two of you ate at a dining area outside the establishment. 

Just a mundane day as two friends hanging out with each other where you found out one of those friends was the chief executive officer of a billion dollar business headquartered in Japan. 

Totally normal, everyday occurrences, obviously. 

“And you need a date for this event?” you asked. In all honesty, you would be more than happy if Shouto asked you out on a date. He was fun and you enjoyed getting to know him. But these particular circumstances made you a tad bit more nervous.

“I normally wouldn’t need to bring one, but my father insists it’d help my public image and in turn the image of the company.” With a pinched look on his face, he took a bite of his ice cream. “In other words I bring a date or he picks one for me.” 

You weren’t the most caught up on super rich people drama, but it was almost infamous how estranged the Todoroki family was. Again, you didn’t know much but you did know enough to say that Todoroki Enji seemed like a Class A asshole. If you could help Shouto out with his weird dilemma, you saw no reason not to. 

“So this charita gala is like where they have those live auctions and silent auctions and get tipsy on fancy wine and champagne for hours right?”

He tilted his head to the side. “Yeah. Have you attended one?” 

“Not quite,” you said with a sheepish smile. “I’ve volunteered at one in school though. As one of those runners? It was fun. I got a bunch of those tiny complimentary candies!” Your mouth watered at the memory. “What kind of drug were in those candies? I’ve never had candy so good before!”

“The tiny, circular candies with the excessively big wrapper? The fruity ones?”

You shot up in your seat, excited he knew what you were talking about. “Yes! That’s the one!” 

The corners of his mouth quirked upwards. “I always see those at these types of events.”

“So… The candy will be there at the gala you want me to accompany you to?” 

“Most likely.”

“Can I take a bunch of those from candies there…?” you asked with an optimistic grin.

“I’ll be your accomplice in sneaking them out.”

“It’s a date!” you said before Shouto could get another word out. 

You’d be reunited with those yummy, fancy candies you’ve been separated from for far too long. What other reason did you need to agree? 

With a determined look on your face, you held your hand out for Shouto to shake to seal the deal. 

He blinked. “Wait. Did you want to discuss it some more? Maybe have a few days to think it through? I’m grateful, of course, but I don’t want you regretting anything.”

“No. I won’t regret it. I’d do anything to taste those candies again.”

Shouto looked unsure what to say. “Isn’t there some parable warning people not to be bribed by candy?”

“Not to take candy from a baby?”

“No. Not that one.”

“That’s the only one I know.”

“Never mind then.” 

The two of you exchanged confused looks before letting out fits of laughter. You weren’t sure if either of you knew exactly what the other was laughing at, but the moment was an enjoyable one nonetheless. 

“Yet another reason to bring me to that fancy event— I’ll make sure you’re entertained all the way through,” you playfully bragged, smoothing down the front of your shirt. 

“The event will definitely be more bearable with you there.” He licked a small bit of his ice cream from his pink spoon, making a sound of approval. “But you can change your mind about coming at any time, Y/N.”

“I won’t,” you said, holding a pinky out. “Pinky promise.”

With what seemed like a bashful expression on his face, Shouto extended his own pinky to interlock yours. You sealed it with a kiss and a heart, like you were a kid again. 

“Now, am I supposed to be in love with you at the gala?” you asked nonchalantly, finishing off your last bite of ice cream. He offered you a spoonful of his and you tried not to grow too flustered at Shouto feeding you his dessert. You murmured a quiet, “Thanks.”

He gave you a small smile. “You’re welcome. As for being in love… I don’t think that’s necessary. Just pretend you like being around me, I think.”

Under the table, you nudged his shoe with yours, pulling a face. “I don’t have to pretend about that, silly.” 

“Ah, well,” he paused, offering you another spoonful of ice cream, “I don’t either.”

“I’m glad.” Then, “Is this strawberry? I was never a big strawberry ice cream fan but for some reason this tastes so good.” 

You ignored the nagging voice in your head that said maybe it wasn’t so much the ice cream flavor but who you were enjoying it with. 

The two of you finished his dessert in peace and after cleaning up the area with a napkin, Shouto turned to you with an intent look on his face.

“Before the gala, would you mind if I talk you shopping so you could pick out what to wear?” he asked. “I would pay of course— It’s the least I could do to say thank you.”

You shook your head. “You don’t have to thank me! You’re my friend and I want to help.” You thought about it for a moment. “And get the candy.”

“Anything for the candy.”

“Exactly,” you said in complete seriousness. “But I wouldn’t mind going shopping with you. You could help me decide what to wear! I’m not exactly sure how to dress for an event as fancy as this.”

“You could wear anything to the event and still look amazing.” His words were ones of flattery but his tone sounded completely genuine. 

Heat rose to your cheeks at the compliment. “Look who’s talking— You’re practically runway ready no matter what time of day.”

“I’ve never walked a runway before.”

You stifled a laugh at his literal interpretation of your words. Cute. “Me neither.”

He looked confused at why you were grinning, but it still brought a smile to his own lips.

By now the sun had begun to set and Shouto was walking you to the train to see you off before you went home.

“Can I pick you up next weekend in the morning?” he said. “So we can get your outfit for the gala?”

“Sure! I’ll text you my address.” 

He nodded in contentment. “And again, you don’t have to worry about any costs.”

“Is this why my friends have called you a sugar daddy?” you teased, bumping your shoulder against his as you walked down the street, side-by-side. “But thank you. Shopping will be fun— We can even match colors!” 

“Mn.” He looked between the both of you, as if trying to picture what colors would complement each other. 

You crossed the sidewalk in a comfortable silence, enjoying the scenery by Shouto’s side. A few times, you even felt his knuckles brush against yours and you had the undeniable urge to hold his hand. Would that be weird? you asked yourself before deciding against it. 

Just because he asked you to be his date for the Naruhata Charity Ball didn’t mean he actually liked you, right? It was just a favor from a friend to a friend.

Something about that though made your stomach unsettled. Maybe part of you wanted it to be a real date— Wanted this to be a real date. 

“So I won’t be seeing you tomorrow,” you said after a moment’s silence, trying not to look too dejected. 

You knew he’d still text good morning and good night and ask you random things throughout the day (all of which you found really endearing, by the way), but it was still different from seeing him in person. Even though your time together in the morning was small, they still were enough to make your day. The thought of your waking hours being so entwined made you nervous, but for some reason it didn’t bother you as much as you thought it would. In fact, it was sort of...nice. 

“I’ll see you Monday morning, right?” you asked hopefully, though you were already fairly certain of the answer.

Shouto nodded. “Of course. It’s already marked on my calendar.”

“Ever the flatterer, hmm?” 

“Not flattery, just the truth.” He pulled his phone out and showed you his (rather packed) calendar app. To your surprise, a little reminder that said ‘See Y/N :)’ was marked on his Monday schedule. 

Unable to stop the beam from spreading across your lips, you hid your face in your hands. Gosh— Did he have to be so cute? He was making it harder and harder to only like him as a friend. And even now, you weren’t sure if you liked him only as a friend.

But you pushed those thoughts away.

That was something to deal with at a later time.

When you reached the train station you normally took home, you turned to Shouto, giving him a big hug. He was tall and warm. You could feel his lean muscles through his button-down shirt as you rested your head against his chest and arms around his waist. 

“Thanks for today,” you mumbled. “I’ll see you again soon.”

After a pause, he gave you a hug back, hands rubbing hesitant circles on your back in a way that made you smile. “Text me when you get home safe,” he said as you both reluctantly released each other from an embrace.

“I will,” you promised. “You do the same! Later, Shouto!” 

And with that, you waved goodbye and boarded the train, unable to shake the unwavering grin on your face all the way home.

a/n: when shouto started feeding y/n spoonfuls of his ice cream i cried (Ｔ▽Ｔ) that’s so cUTE OF HIM LIKE PLS SIR STOP BEFORE I FALL MORE IN LOVE WITH U !! >:O he’s such a sweetheart ahhhh,, i hope all the fluff made up for the brief appearance of endeavor ಠ╭╮ಠ  FHDJKF
