nancy as a mother is just so polarized in so many ways. like how ive been slow crafting her personality, her backstory, etc. its really just. she has such hard-limited thresholds of capacity to love or to care or to empathize with others, and really the only person who does actually get to meet where that threshold halts is johnny - but even then, theres so much cruel and harsh mistreatment that he's both witnessed and had done towards him thats it all genuinely so fucking confusing whether that sense of love she's got towards him has any actual merit and truth behind it or if its all some twisted bizarre act she puts on with him, too.
like outside looking in, i know as the quiet puppeteer behind the scenes that it is - but i also know how fucking convoluted and purposely calculated and weaved everything can be with nancy.
arguably, the only others who've ever gotten to experience something close to that more nurturing maternal affection from her are any children johnny might have down the line. and thats really only because they are an extension of him - and getting her to not pull similar antics that she did while he was growing up with those kids is hmm.
#[ ⥠] ââ * nancy s. / đđ°đłđŚ.#pulling anything out of nancy is like sticking my hand into a malfunctioning blender and hoping for the best but-#im also not speaking abt gun's dv* incident w/ how he got his facial scar - im instead speaking on nancys m.anipulation. her e.motional#& p.sychological types of a.buse. because end of the day - nancy is Not a good person & she was/is Not a good mother.#she is very cruel & vindictive & will do & twist things to her liking if she deems its necessary. & theres times where johnnys been at the#center of those. bc she was far more along those types of mistreatment with *him* than anything remotely p.hysical.#nancy in general just holds alot of very twisted and warped senses of motherhood etc.#implied abuse /#abuse mention /#as just in cases but will tag others if needed.

Cherry on Top !
synopsis: flashing your dadâs best friend leads to making milkshakes and a pounding on the kitchen counter.
Cw: age gap (reader is of age, anakin is in his 30s) // nsfw . flashing, tit play, pnv, âjust the tipâ (for a minute), major size kink, light food play, creampie
Notes: this prob has a lot of errors, my bad
It starts off small, at first.
Itâs not as if you meant to do it the first time. It was summer, hot, and you were in desperate need of release from your bathing suit that had been becoming less and less damp by the hour. Anakin, having a few beers with your dad, had decided to make his way from the bathroom upstairs. Not thinking, he had decided to open your door and ask you if you wanted pizza for dinnerâ per your dads request, of course. You were in the middle of taking off your bathing suit, and your bikini top was off. Anakin had paused, and when you noticed him you immediately began to scream at him to get out. He had complied, but he couldnât help the hardness in his jeans at the sight of your full, perfectly rounded tits. Your nipples had been on display, perky despite the hot weather, and you were so gorgeous with the mounds sitting against your chest. Anakin hasnât thought about anything else since.
And you know it, too. So thatâs why every few weeks you decide to rejog his memory. Heâll be doing things when no one is around, the most random tasks, and youâll lift your shirt up to your neck. You love the look that always glazes his faceâ that look of shock, that registers as he turns around from making a bowl of popcorn for movie night, or coming back from the kitchen to get another beer. His eyes bulge out of his head and a blush coats his cheeks. And then after a moment, heâll get cocky that youâre doing this, doing this for his gaze, heâll quietly mutter, âteaseâ. You always let out a tiny giggle, pulling your top back down.
âYou gonna do something about it?â You always reply, and he always shakes his head with an amused look and turns back to his original task. But nothing can stop the way his cock twitches and swells every single time, the way you can see his knuckles turning white as he grips the kitchen counter as your dad walks back in, unknowing. He knows he shouldnât make a move, so he doesnât.
Until now, in this present moment: your dad has went out grocery shopping, anakin has decided to come over early, and youâve asked him to make you a chocolate milkshake. Youâre practically a bratâ daddy gives you anything you want, and so does Anakin. So of course heâs going to get out the ice cream, milk, and other ingredients. His back muscles ripple as he pours the things into the blender, and the sight almost makes you drool. Smiling, you watch as he throws in some chocolate syrup. Diabetes for everyone else, but perfect for youâ Anakin always knows exactly what you want.
âDonât understand how your teeth arenât rotting out of your head,â he grumbles, even though heâs the one adding additional sugary ingredients.
âGood dentist,â you quip. You lift yourself up onto the counter and swing your sock clad feet against the cabinet. âCan you add a cherry, too?â
âYou know I always do, baby.â
The nickname makes heat creep up your neck. Biting your lower lip, you watch as he finishes making the milkshake and pours it into your favorite glass. He sprays on whipped cream, and of course, places a maraschino cherry on top. He grabs the heart shaped straw beside the drink and sticks it inside
He hands it over to you and you take a big sip. You lick up some of the whipped cream as Anakin looks at you for approval. His eyes follow your tongue coated in white.
âGood?â He asks, curious. You nod happily, beginning to sip again. He smiles, and begins to make one for himself. Your panties dampen as you watch the back of his shoulders once again.
He must be so strong, you think.
He finishes up his milkshake, sticking another straw into the a full glass.
You do what you usually do at times like these, and lift the hem of your top. Your nipples harden from the cold air. Clearing your throat, you tilt your head.
âAni?â
âYes?â
At the sound of your soft voice, he turns around. When heâs met with the sight of your tits, all plump and pretty, he immediately latches on to the look of them. Usually you donât keep your shirt up for longer that a few seconds, but you donât budge this time. Anakinâs gaze turns from amused to hungry in a matter of seconds.
âI need some help,â you breathe out. Anakin wavers. Heâs used to your constant teasing, but this is new.
âWith?â
Your eyes are pleading, as you look up at him.
âThey hurt, ani,â you say. âNeed you to rub them for me.â
He sets his glass down, moving around the bar to where youâre perched on the kitchen counter. Watching your desperation, he licks his lips.
âYou donât know what youâre doing.â He starts, voice low.
âI want you,â you say quietly to him. He shakes his head, almost resistant. But your pleading face can only be said no to a few times before anakin finally gives in, and when you begin to rub your tits with your own hands he scolds you.
âStop that.â
âWhy? Donât you want me?â
He exhales sharply, trying to avert his gaze but he simply canât. Approaching you slowly, he seethes.
âYouâre asking for it.â
âMhm..â you murmur softly. âDaddyâs gonna be home in an hour, though.. needa hurry.â
You let out a tiny moan when finally, finally, Anakinâs fingers ghost over the peak of your nipple. Heâs trying so hard to keep control. His palms are inches away from groping your chest, but heâs holding back.
âDaddyâs not gonna be happy if I do this.â He mutters. He looks up at you with something dark in his gaze. âDaddyâs gonna know youâve been a bad little girl.â
You push against his hands. His skin rubs against your nipples in the best way.
âMaybe I want him to know.â
Itâs fucked up. But Anakinâs cock is aching after that comment, and he begins to lightly rub your tits in his hands.
âYeah?â He groans, breath heavy. âMaybe we could take a few pictures next time. Post âem, let everyone see how much of a whore you are. Seducing daddyâs buddy like this⌠breaking a big rule, baby. Everyone would love to see it.â
Next time. The thought makes you keen, and you nod as he begins to heavily grope you.
âBet your dad would be so mad that his little girlâs being such a whore,â He continues. âGod, just wait until I get my fuckinâ cock in youâŚâ
âAnd youâll what?â You taunt against him. You lean into his earlobe and bite it playfully. âBend me over? Fuck me in my bedroom when my parents are downstairs? Know youâve always wanted to.â
Anakin letâs out something between a groan and a whimper, and his hands move from your tits to your hips. Your thighs spread simultaneously, and he places his hips in between yours. You wrap your legs around his back and pull him closer to you.
âBeen wantinâ your cock since i graduatedâŚâ you mumble, running your nails along his shoulders. âSaw you in that suit when I was giving my valedictorian speechâ before that, too.â
âA suit, huh?â He doesnât kiss you on the mouth just yet, but he leaves little bites and runs his tongue along your collarbone. âThatâs cute.â
âMmmh. Gonna kiss me, yet? Or are you too weak to get it up, old man?â
âOld man?â He chuckles darkly, his grip tightening as he grinds his clothed cock against you. âOnly ten years older than youâŚnot even forty yet.â
âStill old to me,â you argue, and press your cunt against him. He shakes his head in disbelief.
âThat mouthâs gonna get you in a lot of trouble.â he mutters, and then his lips are pressing against yours, hot, heavy, tasting like chocolate and something thatâs predominantly Anakin. Itâs something youâve been craving for years, and your hair goes up to his blonde locks and pulls. The sound he lets out is utterly sinful, and you probe his lip with your tongue. He understands your challenge, but is quick to shove his tongue into your mouth instead to assert dominance over you. You gasp for breath when he pulls away and begins unbuckling his belt.
âWould taste you first, pretty girl, but we donât have time.â
And then heâs pulling his cock out, and heâs stroking it and itâs wet and itâs so bigâ circumcised with a pretty pink tip, a tuft of trimmed, light brown hair at the base of him, seven or eight inches, incredibly thick â and heâs dripping. He mustâve been worked up for a long while, watching you in your pretty pink skirt all day. Precum leaks over his fist as he moves.
Heâs absolutely gorgeous as he tilts his head back. Heâs putting on a show for you, and you know that he must be addicted to the attention. You look up with him at doe eyes and you push his hand away and replace it with your own. He stares into your eyes as you jerk him, his mouth open into the shape of an O.
You slide your panties to the side, rubbing your clitoris between your fingers. Youâre aching for Anakin, and you clench as you guide his cock towards your awaiting entrance. You rub him a little on your clit, and it makes you quiver. You press him up against you and he watches with arousal evident in his gaze. You want him so bad, but heâs so big. Would he even fit?
âGo on,â Anakin demands as he sees your hesitation. âLet me get my cock inside there, angel. Let me see what that pretty pussy feels like.â
You bite your lip, wanting to please him. You spread your thighs a bit more, using your other hand to grab one of your pussy lips and spread yourself open. Anakinâs tip breaches you, and after a moment you push it in until you feel full enough. When his thick cockhead pops in, you let out a tiny squeak.
Anakin groans the moment his cock is inside your heat, the tightness and warmth almost too much. You havenât even taken half of him, but you can feel the burn from the stretch. Your walls ache trying to accommodate him. You can feel tears well up in your eyes from the feeling, and Anakinâs thumb brushes against your bottom lip as he coos at you.
âOh, honey. Yeah, take the tip, baby. Jusâ like that⌠only a few more pushes ân Iâll be all the way in my babyâŚâ
âJust the tip?â You sniffle, hands grasping at his tattooed shoulders.
âMmm..â is all Anakin says, and then he pushes into you again, forcing his cock to make its way past your velvety walls.
Okay, you think. So not just the tip.
The tears really begin to fall now, his length also getting to you as he bullies his way into your tiny pussy. You can feel how much heâs throbbing inside of you, and if you didnât know any better you would think that you can feel his precum leaking inside your womb.
Anakinâs mouth is open, and he watches with fascination as your pussy swallows him whole. Itâs been a while since heâs had such a nice cunt, and the fact that youâre taking it for himâ even though it hurts you, even though daddy is gonna be home soonâ makes him so fucking horny. The guilt he felt before has now washed away into something primal and dark. He wants to claim you from the inside out. Fuck moralsâ heâs taken care of you for years, hasnât he? Shouldnât he be rewarded with something? Besides, youâve been showing your tits to him for weeksâ youâve been initiating it and practically begging for him to split you open like this. So how is it wrong, Anakin thinks, as his cock finally, finally fills you to the brim completely?
Yes, you heard that right. His hips are finally pressing against you, heâs finally balls deep inside your tiny cunt. You had begun crying a few seconds ago, hot salty tears staining your cheeks. Anakin leans down and licks them up with his tongue.
âSo pretty when you cry,â he murmurs against you. âLook at that. Took all of me, baby. Iâm so proud of you.â
Your heart clenches, along other things, and you rest your face in his neck as he begins to slowly move.
âYou are?â
âAlways so proud of you,â he whispers. He presses a kiss to your forehead, sweet despite the current situation. âGonna fuck you now, pretty girl.â
And that he does. Slow, at first, but his thrusts soon gain speed and something is beginning to build in your tummy.
âFaster.â You whine into his mouth as he kisses you. âFaster, Ani, please!â
And of course, he goes faster. He increases his pace and his hips hit yours ferociously. Itâs not long before his heavy sack is slapping against your ass and heâs groaning as he pounds you against the granite countertop.
âYeah?â He groans. âYou like when I fuck you like this? Like my big cock splitting you open? Clenching on me so tight, baby, like you donât wanna let me go.â
You mewl, grabbing onto him tight. You watch as his eyes land on your milkshake glass a little ways away. Itâs still halfway full.
He reaches over, pulling it towards the both of you. He dips his finger in, scooping up some the now melting whipped cream.
âCanât waste it,â he murmurs.
He rubs it along one of your nipples, coating it in white. He brings his tongue down, suckling the pebbled bud into his awaiting mouth. Your eyes roll back, nerves on fire as he scrapes his teeth against your flesh. He does the same to your other nipple, dripping with chocolate, and then is quick to shove his fingers down your throat. Sugar invades your taste buds, chocolate and whipped cream and syrup, and you greedily lick it up and suckle his fingers with your heavy tongue. He grunts, watching as you practically drink from his digits.
âGood girl,â he coos. âGood fuckinâ girl. Making me feel so good.. pussyâs so tight⌠yeah, lick me clean, you filthy bitch.â
You tighten, wetness leaking creamy streaks down his length. His degradations are making you even more eager to cum around him.
He smells so nice and he looks so good and youâre already so close. Anakin knows it, too, and his fingers on his opposite hand reach down to rub your clit with his thumb.
âCâmon, honey.â He taunts. âCum for Ani, baby, need you to cum on my cock so fuckinâ bad.â
Your eyes roll back, clenching up around him like a vice as his fingers fill your throat. You let out a strained, animalistic sound, as you coat his cock in your slick. Itâs the most intense orgasm youâve ever hadâ either because of Anakinâs fingers, his big cock, or the fact that youâve been in love with him since the age of eighteen. But either way, you let out a loud moan as you hit your peak, thrusting your hips against his as his cock hits that special, spongey spot inside of you. Even when you come down, Anakinâs hips are still pressed flush against you and heâs still pounding your cunt like itâs his salvation.
His fingers press against your pretty thigh highs, some of them still sticky from the milkshake, and you can tell by the sweat on his brow and the stuttering of his hips that heâs close. You begin to taunt him with sweet, sugar coated words.
âGive me your cum, Ani.â You whine. âPlease? I need it, need you to fill up my pussy. It needs your cum so badââ
âFuck!â
Anakin moans, loud, and his head tilts back as he slams into you one last time. Rope after rope shoots into your gaping pussy, and Anakin fucks himself through his orgasm until itâs on the brink of painful. When he looks down, he watches as he slowly pulls his fat cock out of your hole. The creamy strings of his cum stick to your pussy lips and his cock, and when his used tip plops out of your hole, a waterfall of thick hot cum spills out of you and onto the countertop. Anakinâs eyes are firey still, and he moves your legs further apart and lifts your hips up so he can watch the puddle of spend in your gaping hole.
âSo beautiful,â he mutters. His finger moves down to play with it a little bit, and it makes you clench. âDoes my cum feel good, baby?â
You nod, dizzy. He smiles, watching your tired eyes begin to flutter shut.
âNo, no.â He says gently, slapping the side of your cheek. ââŚWake up, honey. Your dadâs gonna be home soon.â
Slowly, you peel them open and he lets go of your shaking legs. He carries you up to your room, lays you down on the pretty pink sheets, shuts the light off. He cleans up the mess downstairs. All the while, you slip into a dazed and peaceful sleep.
And when Anakin throws the last cum coated napkin away in the garbage can, your dad arrives home with no idea what has just occurred between his precious girl and his best friend.

Steve finds out early on in his teenage partying years that tequila and him donât mix well. It leads to terrible decisions and waking up in someone elseâs bed.
But he doesnât wanna be a party pooper when Eddie shows up for the Partyâs pool day with all the stuff for margaritas and a grin on his face. He says that someone needs to put Steveâs fancy blender to use anyhow and he makes the best strawberry margaritas ever so Steve relents easily, resigning himself to try just sipping at the same one all afternoon.
He canât stick to that though.
The first sip is like heaven. Cold and sweet on his tongue with just a hint of the sheer amount of tequila that must be in it. Eddie literally cackles at the little moan that slips out of him at the taste.
âTold you, Harrington! I know what Iâm about!â
The afternoon slips on, Robin and Nancy stopping after two so that they can drive all the kids home but Eddie just keeps filling up Steveâs cup before he can even protest. Heâs floating a bit by the end of the day, not enough to be drunk but enough that he canât stop himself from staring at Eddie.
Eddie has been in and out of the pool all day, water making his swim shorts cling to every single muscle underneath them. Steve canât help but giggle at the sheer lack on ass on the guy but when he turns to face Steve, he has to actively try to keep his jaw shut.
He can see a perfect outline of Eddieâs dick. Even soft it looks big enough to choke on and Steve has to drag one of the towels over his lap quickly lest other people see how hard he got in the last thirty seconds. Luckily the kids are packing up now, calling their goodbyes.
Letting Nancy and Robin lead them out the door until itâs just him and Eddie left. Eddie is watching him curiously, and the attentions makes Steve flush from his cheeks all the way down his chest. âYou doin okay, Stevie? You look a little warmâ Eddie sounds like heâs teasing, but thereâs an edge to it that does not help Steveâs situation. Eddie practically glides forward toward where Steve is sitting on the lounge chair. Steve has to hold back the whine in his throat when Eddie leans over him, hands braced on either side of the chair.
âCat got your tongue, sweetheart?â Eddieâs got a sharp grin on his face, close enough that Steve can see the pink staining his tongue from the drinks and he canât hold himself back any longer. He drops his death grip on the towel so he can tangle his hands in Eddieâs hair, yanking him down into a searing kiss.
Eddie loses his grip on the chair, practically toppling into Steveâs lap, noses smushing together as they both try to keep from disconnecting their kiss Steve uses one hand to grab Eddie by the waist as he falls, using the momentum to pull him into his lap. Even as tipsy as Steve feels, itâs delightfully easy to move Eddie where he wants him. He canât help himself when he rolls his hips up to meet Eddieâs, the wetness of their shorts making it slightly uncomfortable but Steve doesnât give a shit right now.
Heâs finally getting what heâs been wanting and Eddie seems just as into it. Eddie rocks downward in a slow, steady grind of his hips, his dick hard and hot where it presses against Steveâs. He shudders under the deliberate movements, praying to whoeverâs listening that he can get Eddie to fuck him just like that.
For now though he desperately needs to get his mouth on Eddie, pulling away from the kiss and taking in a shaky breath. âInside.â He whines into Eddieâs ear, gently taking the lobe in between his teeth so he can bite down.
Eddie scrabbles off his lap like a cartoon cat, making Steve giggle at the sight before a thought pops into his head He stands, steadying himself for a moment before crouching slightly, wrapping his arms around Eddieâs waist and throwing him over his shoulder in a fireman carry.
Eddie fucking moans, using his position to shove his hands down the back of Steveâs shorts to grab at his ass. âThis should not be so fucking hot what the fuckâ Eddie mumbles, half to himself as Steve carryâs him to the living room and tosses him on the couch.
He doesnât miss a beat before dropping to his knees in front of Eddie, tucking eager fingers into his waistband and dragging them down his legs. When Eddieâs dick is finally exposed, Steve feels all the blood in his body rush south, a whimper falling from his open mouth at the sight.
Itâs as big as it felt, long and thick nestled into a pretty thatch of curls at the base. Thereâs a bead of precome gathered at the tip that he canât stop himself from leaning down and lapping up. Eddie hisses at the feeling, hands fisting into the cushions under him.
Steve canât have that, gently peeling Eddies hands open and guiding them to his hair. Eddies mouth is slightly open, a look of awe over his features as Steve leans forward to run his tongue from base to tip before sealing his lips over the head. He doesnât care that heâs never done this before.
The only think he can think about is making Eddie feel good, and he gotten blowjobs before so how hard it can be? He steadies himself, wrapping a hand around Eddie before taking a few more inches into his mouth, hollowing his cheeks as best as he can.
Eddies fingers tighten in his hair, not pushing but just grounding himself. Steve pulls off with a pop, nuzzling his nose into the downy hair smattered across Eddieâs stomach. âWant you to use my mouth. Had dreams about you fucking my face.â The look on Eddies face is enough to make Steve grind the heel of his hand into his own cock, nearly crying at the minor relief it brings.
He lets Eddie guide him back, sinking his mouth down as far as it can go before letting his jaw fall lax, tongue sliding forward to cushion over his teeth and lower lip
He squirms when Eddieâs hips roll up carefully, his brain already going delightfully fuzzy from the solid weight of hands in his hair and the ache developing in his jaw. âOh baby youâre already cockdrunk arenât you? This what you needed? Someone to take you down and apart?â Eddie coos at him, movements growing more bold as he pushes a little further with every thrust.
The condescension makes Steve squirm and whine, vibrations in his throat dragging a moan out of Eddie. Steve loses the thread after that, his world narrowing to just Eddie and the way heâs making him feel.
Every thrust nudges at the back of Steveâs throat, the occasional too hard thrust making him gag and drool around Eddies length. He feels proud of himself when Eddie speeds up, rhythm faltering as he gets closer to the edge. It only takes a few more thrusts and a few moments of hard suction before Eddie is spilling down his throat with a shout.
Steve does his best to swallow it all, only missing a bit that drips down his chin. He feels high now, the tequila starting to wear off a bit. When Eddie pulls back, heâs just got a dopey grin on his face, eyes practically crossing in pleasure.
Eddie drags him up from the floor into his lap, smashing their lips together before reaching between them to shove his hand into Steveâs pants. He stills quickly and Steveâs face heats up as he realizes what he found.
âI uh, I came when you did.â His face burns with shame but Eddie looks like he could go again right then and there, dragging Steve into another heavy kiss. When he pulls back, heâs met with Eddie laughing. âWell I guess Nancy was right. Tequila really does make you outrageously horny!â
Heâs still laughing when Steve registers what he said. â
Wait, what the fu-?â

Happy Endings in the Avengers Compound â
paring: wanda maximoff x female reader
summary: Wanda is to afraid to make a move with you but what about when you get a date that isn't her?
warnings: literally nothing, it's just pure fluff, jealousy if that needs a warning? really shitty ending cuz i didn't know how to end it lol, a tiny bit ofcussing, terrible writing
a/n: I wrote this while I should've been taking notes in English cuz I was so boreddddd got this idea from a video my friend sent me that was all like, "girl whos obsessed with you does your makeup or something" cuz there's this girl in class who likes to do people's makeup and it was so fucking funny cuz she kept making comments I swear so yeah I just wanted to say that. enjoy :)
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
With a big grin, you harshly push open Wanda's bedroom door and squeal. âI got a date with this really pretty girl at the coffee shop!â Wanda's head snaps up from the book she's ready, and no amount of enthusiasm takes over her face. âA girl? what's her name, last name, date of birth, addresses, place of work, and hometown?â you chuckle, sitting criss cross on her bed and taking her cold hands in your warm ones. âHer name is Vanessa but I call her V, her last name is Tanner, birthday is March 23rdâŚI don't know what year, I don't know her address, she works at the hospital a few streets away, and I don't know where her hometown is.â
She takes a moment to think before questioning, âSo you're going out with a woman you barely know? That doesn't sound safe honey.â You chuckle and nod. âI do know her! We spent like two hours talking in the cafĂŠ!â She looked back to her book and muttered, âYet you still don't know how old she is.â
You giggle, and a sudden thought appears that makes you smile even brighter. âYou should do my makeup! She's taking me out to dinner at a really fancy restaurant at seven.â Wanda frowns. You hate fancy restaurants. The last time Tony tried to take the team out to one, you stared at the menu with a disgusted look on your face the entire time. Wanda ended up taking you to a diner later that night, and the burger you had was much better than the snail food Tony made you try. Why are you going out with this girl if she didnât even care enough to learn that?
Wanda rolls her eyes a bit. âWhy would I do that?â She asks, and you smile. âBecause you love me.â you say. and she mumbles something incoherent before looking at your face and sighing in defeat.Â
You cheer, launching yourself into her arms and letting your head rest against her chest. The corners of her lips tug up at your happiness, but they go back down when she remembers why.Â
âCome on butterfly.â She helps you up off the bed, leading you to her vanity and forcing you to sit on the chair. She grabs a bronzer stick, gently applying it to the middle of your cheeks, kind of on your cheekbone. She grabs a beauty blender and blends that in before grabbing a blush palette. Bucky walks into the room, laying down on Wanda's bed and beginning to talk about some guy he met at the park today. âAnd heâs such an attention seeker!â He ends with, and itâs silent until Wanda speaks quietly- clearly to you, âJust like that girl youâre seeing.â You scoff, and Bucky bursts out laughing as he looks between the two of you. âWhat's that supposed to mean? You havenât even met them yet!â You say, and Wanda shots back, âAnd I donât want to.â Bucky holds his stomach in laughter, and both you and Wanda turn to glare at him. The frown on your face is clear as you look at Wanda, and she sighs as she tells you, âIâm sorry okay Butterfly? I justâŚ..I donât know.â You miss the way Bucky smirks at the witch as he leaves the room quietly.Â
âI guessâŚ..I just donât like that she has you and I donât.â This brings a small giggle out of you. âOf course you have me Wands! Youâre my best friend!â You say, oblivious to the way she grimaces at the word âfriendâ. She sighs, and doesnât say anything as you apply some eyeshadow and highlighter to your face. âThere you go Butterfly.â You look at yourself in the mirror, grinning at the sight and then at her. You kiss her forehead in thanks. âThank you Wands!â You say, beginning to run out of her bedroom to go search for an outfit to wear.Â
âAnytime darling.â She mumbles, releasing a heavy sigh and holding her head in her hands. Someone gently knocks on the door, and she wipes her tears away and says without turning around, âWhatâs up Butterfly?â A slightly deep and raspy voice speaks teasingly from her doorway, âI thought that nickname was reserved for your girlfriend?âÂ
Wanda turns around, facing the redhead woman in the doorway and lets the tears fall. Natashaâs smile falls, and she instantly walks to Wanda and wraps her up in a hug. âShe-sheâs going out with someone else Nat! Iâm too late!â Natasha knows about Wandaâs crush on you, as it was revealed after Wanda finally snapped at her after months of the ex-assassin teasing her about the way she looks at you. Natashaâs always been a very, go for it type person, so thatâs the advice she had given Wanda the first time the younger girl asked for help asking you out. The witch practically laughed in her face.
âItâs okay kidâŚâŚitâs okay.â Natasha tries her best to soothe her, but nothing seems to help as the tears continue to fall so she hesitantly pulls away and asks, âDo you love that girl Wanda?â The answer is obvious. âYesâŚ.more than I love anything.â Wanda says. Natasha gently smiles. âThen youâre going to do what you should have done a long time ago. Youâre going to buy her her favorite flowers,â Wanda nods along, sniffling a bit as she tries to build up her courage. â,youâll put on some nice clothes instead of sweatpants and a hoodie,â she giggles and looks down at her comfortable clothes before nodding. â,and most importantly, youâre gonna do it today. Before she goes out on that date. Iâm like 84.62 percent sure she likes you back so itâll all be all right.â Wandaâs eyes go wide. She was expecting this to be more of a in a few weeks plan, but clearly Natasha had other thoughts. The redhead doesnât give room for complaint though, as she simply gets up and walks out of the bedroom.
Wanda takes a deep breath, wiping her tears and glancing up at the clock on the wall. Itâs currently 4pm, so that means there is 3 hours until your date with that bimbo.
Three hours for her to get a bouquet.
Three hours for her to figure out what she's even going to say.
Three hours for her to get her shit together.
Those three hours are spent with Bucky and Natasha, spending the first hour going to multiple stores in search of the perfect bouquet. Itâs stupid really, the need to find the perfect bouquet but the older two just roll their eyes and stay silent.Â
The next hour is spent trying to figure out what to say, and both Natasha and Bucky could not stay serious as Wanda rehearsed on a pillow. That pillow was thrown at Natasha's head.
The last hour was an hour of panic, especially when you came in to say your date was 10 minutes away. This was her time. She walks through the hallway, finding you sitting on a couch in the living room. You changed clothes, and you look absolutely stunning. She stops walking for a second to admire you, but a giggle from behind her causes her to abruptly turn around. She sees Tony, Natasha, Bucky, Steve, and Thor all standing there with smiles.
Tony's is more of a smirk, but everyone else's is supportive as they give her silent thumbs up. She rolls her eyes at them being nosy and continues to walk closer to you.
Your focus is on your phone, but you look up with a bright smile when you notice Wanda's platform docs. âHey Wands! What's up?â She swallows thickly, sweaty hands gripping the bouquet a bit tighter behind her back. âWands? Why do you look so nervous?â You giggle, and she can't help but smile at the sound.Â
The group is still watching from the doorway, and Natasha rolls her eyes when Tony pulls out his phone and presses record.
Wanda reveals what she was hiding, and you immediately gasp at the sight of the beautiful flowers. âWell aren't you just a gentle woman my dear? These are beautiful Wands. Thank you.â She smiles as you bring them a bit closer to your nose and sniff them. âNot as beautiful as you.â She cringes, and you immediately burst out laughing. âThat was sweet but it was definitely the cheesiest thing I've ever heard you say.â She nods.
Tony agrees quietly and Bucky hits the back of his head.
âSo umâŚ.Butterfly.â You nod to acknowledge her. âI was- I was thinking recently and umâŚâ Your phone begins to buzz, and you simply place it in your purse as you give her your full attention. âWellâŚâ She takes a glance at the group who's still in the doorway, and they all send her encouraging smiles. It's then that you notice them, sending them all confused smiles before looking at Wanda again.
She's taking one last deep breath when Jarvis suddenly alerts the house. âThere is a woman named Vanessa Tanner at the front gate, saying she's here to pick up her date.â Natasha and Bucky instantly panic, looking at each other before going back to Wanda.
As if those are the magic words, Wanda's eyes widen and she begins to ramble, âI really, really, really like you Butterfly and I know you may not feel the same way but Natasha and Bucky said you did and I figured that if there was a little bit of hope, I should try it.â A shocked look takes over your face. âIt's totally fine if you don't feel the same way but I just couldn't let you go out with that bimbo named Vanessa if there was even a small chance you liked meâŚ.half as much as I do you.â She doesn't take her gaze off the floor, and she takes your silence as an answer as tears fill her eyes.
âWanda. Look at me.â You demand, but she shakes her head no and continues to study the carpeted floor. âWanda. LookâŚatâŚme.â She slowly looks at you, and the happiness in your eyes is enough to make her let out a small sigh of relief- not complete relief though.Â
âI wish you had told me this before I practically threw myself at a woman I barely know. Because I'd much rather you be the one picking me up for dinner than Vanessa.â You both giggle, and she hesitantly asks, âSo...what does that mean for us?âÂ
Natasha rolls her eyes and Tony shouts, âAsk her out you dumbass!â It's clear he's talking to the witch in front of you and she blushes red as she glares at him before turning back to you. âHe's right. So, would you like to go out with me Butterfly?âÂ
You take a moment to pretend you're thinking about it before asking playfully, âAnd what would we do on this date Miss Maximoff?â She hadn't really thought about it, so she takes a minute to do that before declaring, âI'd take you out to dinner, not a fancy restaurant with food you hate, but your favorite dinner a few streets away. And then I'd take you dancing to that place we went to for your birthday because you had a lot of fun there, and then I'd bring you back here and make you a homemade dessert. Your favorite.â You smile. âThen yes, Iâd love to go out with you Wanda Maximoff.â You lean in a bit to kiss her cheek, and she blushes a bit.
Suddenly, cheering erupts and the sound of a confetti popper going off can be heard. âWhat the hell Tony?â Wanda asks, but both of you canât help but chuckle. He grins. âThis long lasting nightmare of having to be around you twoâs sexual tension is finally over!â Natasha smacks his arms and questions, but itâs more like telling him what to say, âDonât you mean, âI popped that confetti popper because Iâm so happy two of my teammates have finally found happinessâ?â Heâs silent for a minute before he laughs loudly as says, âNo. Not at all. I meant to say, this long lasting nightmare of having to be around you twoâs sexual tension is finally over! Letâs party baby!â You giggle, but Wanda narrows her eyes, letting them glow red. Suddenly, the second unused confetti popper in Tony's hand flies up to be level with his face, and he mumbles, âWell shitâ right before it goes off.Â
While heâs spitting out small pieces of paper from his mouth and trying to blow them out of his nose, the doorbell rings. âIt is Vanessa Tanner.â Jarvis notifies, and you start to walk to the door with Wanda hot on your heels. âWhere are you going?â She questions with a hint of sadness in her voice as sheâs sure you're going to go on that date with Vanessa even after everything just happened.Â
âIâm going to go tell her it wonât work out.â You say casually, and the smile is right back on Wanda's face as she uses her powers to freeze you in place and run ahead of you. You simply laugh, calling out, âWanda! Wanda!â She turns around for a second to look at you. âBe nice please?â She giggles. âItâs nice of you to think I can do that Butterfly.â She runs off to go probably harass Vanessa, and you're left frozen in the hallway with a small chuckle.Â
What Wanda doesnât know is that youâd been waiting for that day even longer than she had. Sheâd always been it for you, ever since the first day she came to the compound. But over time, you slowly lost hope she felt the same way, and decided to just move on. If Wanda hadnât done that sudden declaration of love, the future you two eventually have together would have never happened, and that's something you now think about daily.

two / masterlist / wattpad
summary: when you break your arm in the plane crash, Jackie seems to be helping you out more than usual and you're left wondering why.
warning/s: mentions of a plane crash, amputation, broken bones.. the usual warnings that come with Yellowjackets lol.
author's note: this has been ready for a while now, as have a few other things whilst i work on some old requests. sorry for the delay with everything - iâve been very busy, but i hope you like this two part jackie imagine :)
I could hear screaming and shouting, there was smoke everywhere and, despite my confusion, I knew I needed to get out of here before the smoke suffocated me.
Clipping off my seatbelt, I scrambled out of the aisle and briefly looked around, unable to make sense of anything, and then my head was spinning and I couldn't stay here any longer. Fresh air. I needed to breathe and then I could work out what was what.
Following the sound of screaming seemed counterproductive, but that was the way out, so I dragged my body â which felt like it had been thrown around in a blender â out the back of the plane and to... the middle of the forest?
The team. Some of them were running around, doing all sorts I couldn't seem to focus on, whilst others were bent over, catching their breath, appearing dazed and confused like me. I didn't get long to think about how I'd ended up here when, suddenly, someone shoved into me from behind and I fell forward, landing right on my outstretched arm.
A scream escaped my lips at the pain that struck, it breaking through the fog of confusion. I squeezed my eyes shut, tears pricking them instinctively, and tried to breathe through the pain. Pushing myself up with my other hand, I grimaced at the slight movement of my left arm, which had to be broken considering I couldn't do anything with it.
It wasn't until after all the chaos, after everybody had stopped screaming and vomiting and crying, that the realisation that our plane had crashed hit us. And by then, I was too preoccupied with my broken arm. Imagine coming out of a plane crash unscathed, only to get pushed down and left with a broken arm. Very stupid, indeed.
Surprisingly, Misty was the only one who could work under pressure, barely fazed by everything happening and instead tending to everyone's injuries as quickly as she could. Upon realising I'd broken my arm, she immediately made me her best attempt at a splint using some sticks and an old ripped shirt, as well as helping me into a makeshift sling using the same ripped shirt. Given the circumstances, it was as good as a cast, but she didn't know the extent of the damage and I couldn't do anything more.
The first two days were a struggle, mainly because nobody knew what to do nor where to go. That was when the horrible acceptance of losing several members of our team, including one of our coaches, hit everyone hard. We all pitched in to bury them, though I wasn't able to do much with my arm, and held a funeral for them.
After the funeral ended, everybody stuck together in the vicinity of the crash. A few lingered away, probably trying to figure out where the hell we were, but I just wanted a sense of familiarity and stayed to open my suitcase which I'd luckily found. Unfortunately for me, the zipper required two hands, and only one of mine seemed to be available right now.
"Hey."
I sighed, looking up to see Jackie Taylor, the soccer team captain, standing there with her arms hugging herself. I hadn't spoken to her properly since before we set off, she'd mostly just stuck with Shauna, her best friend.
"Hey," I greeted, unsure what she wanted.
She nodded to my terrible sling. "How's your arm?"
"Very painful," I admitted, "but coach literally lost his leg, so I can't complain."
She frowned at my words, but it wasn't exactly an exaggeration. Misty had quite literally chopped Coach Scott's leg off when he got it trapped under the wing of the plane, and it wasn't an easy thing to deal with physically or mentally. A broken arm was nothing compared to an amputation.
"How are you?" I asked. She didn't look hurt, just tired and scared like the rest of us.
She shrugged helplessly, and I didn't need any elaboration. I nodded, acknowledging her, and then she said, "Do you need help with whatever you're doing?"
I looked down, remembering the dumb suitcase I couldn't open. "That would be great actually, yes. Can you hold it whilst I unzip it?"
She nodded and kneeled down, acting as my other hand whilst I unzipped my suitcase. It was a relief to finally open it, seeing everything was as I'd left it before we boarded the plane. That felt like a lifetime ago now.
"If you need help with anything else, just ask," Jackie said, making me look up to see her watching me.
Grateful, I offered her a small smile. "Thanks, Jackie."
She returned the smile, though it didn't reach her eyes. She'd been the first to offer her help in the first place, since everyone was preoccupied by their own trauma, so I appreciated it. Truthfully, the last person I expected to offer help was Jackie, since she usually thought of herself first.
"You should get some medication off Misty," she added. "It'll help with the pain."
I swallowed hard, smile fading. "Right. Thanks."
She nodded and left, glancing at me once more as she did. I didn't really question it as I looked back at my suitcase, distracting myself from the pain.
Later that day, Misty found me instead, immediately pouring out the medication she'd collated from everyone's suitcases in front of me.
"Misty, what are youâ?"
"I've got some pills for you," she said nonchalantly.
"Oh, my arm doesn't hurt that much," I lied. "Coach needsâ"
"There's enough for Ben, silly," she said with a laugh, making me quirk a brow. "Besides, it's not for your pain, though it will help with that, it's for the inflammation. Without surgery, that's gonna take a while to heal and anything we have can help."
I sighed, nodding. "Alright. Thanks."
"I'll give you them every dose," she said, before holding out two pills. "Here you go."
I silently accepted them, knowing they'd help but feeling bad that I'd be taking them when Coach Scott needed them more.
â
Finding the lake and the cabin was a lifesaver, literally. We needed water and somewhere to sleep that wasn't so out in the open, and I was already struggling to sleep as it was so at least being inside made it a little easier.
Oddly enough, over the next few days since moving into the cabin, I'd noticed Jackie staring at me. If I ever caught her eye, she'd look the other way or flash me a smile before awkwardly doing something else. I wasn't sure what was up, and it only became more questionable when she'd help me out if I needed it.
There was one time when I was trying to pull my shoes on, but struggling to tie the laces with my one good arm.
"Here, I got it," she said, coming out of nowhere to lean down in front of me and take over.
I watched her with curiosity, letting her tie my laces. She must've caught me staring as she looked up, eyes bright as they met mine.
"What?" she asked, standing back up.
I shook my head. "Nothing... thanks."
She nodded, smiling a little before leaving me be. And that wasn't it. Other times I'd be trying to carry something and she'd take it from me without a word, or I'd be pulling on a shirt and she'd quite literally help me into it. It was odd, because she'd never paid me any mind before, and wasn't very helpful to others. The other girls aided me when they occasionally saw me struggling, but not as much as Jackie.
Another time, I was struggling to sleep in my makeshift bed on the floor of the cabin. Everybody had fallen asleep hours ago, but my movement was restricted because of my arm and the shuffling I was doing was only bothering me more.
"You move a lot," a voice said in the firelight, startling me.
I looked over the room, past my sleeping team members, and saw it was Jackie laying on her side next to Shauna but facing me.
"Sorry," I mumbled guiltily. "Did I wake you?"
She shrugged, not answering my question, before saying, "Try elevating your arm."
"What?"
"That's why you can't sleep, right?" she asked.
I blinked, surprised she'd even noticed. "Yeah."
She sat up slowly, stretching, before crossing the room to grab what looked like a jacket. My eyes followed her as she moved, then she rolled it up before kneeling down beside me and placing it underneath my bad arm. I winced as she did so carefully, glancing at me apologetically, but then I relaxed my arm on top of the jacket and breathed out slowly.
"Is that better?" she asked quietly. "Won't be touching the ground now."
I nodded. "Yeah. Thanks, Jackie."
"No problem," she said, before returning to her bed. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," I replied, very tired and very confused.
That was when I knew I needed to ask her why she was being so considerate, so out of character, at least to me anyway. The next morning, after I'd done the one thing I could do with my arm which was collecting water from the lake when we needed it, I was bringing it to Akilah who was boiling it over the fire. Unfortunately, I tripped over a stone on the way, almost dropping the bucket. Jackie came out of nowhere, taking it from my hand and leaving it with Akilah before returning to me.
"You okay?" she asked with a raised brow, hand wavering over my arm.
I tilted my head curiously. "Iâ yeah. I just..."
She smiled with confusion, shaking her head. "What is it?"
I stared at her like she'd grown a second head. "Why do you keep helping me? Checking on me?"
She scoffed playfully, looking away before saying, "I'm still your captain. Gotta make sure the team's okay, right?"
I narrowed my eyes suspiciously, but I didn't have anything else to believe, so I gave in with a nod. "Yeah..."
"Take it easy," she said, eyes flickering to my arm before she left me.
â
Since we'd been stranded here, I'd only rinsed off in the lake once. That was a week ago when we found it, but I knew I needed to bathe properly and, after taking my shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, I headed for the lake. Washing my body was a struggle because of my arm, which had swollen so much to the point that even accidentally grazing my body with it sent a shot of pain in me.
I managed to wash my body the best I could, getting my tee-shirt sling wet but unable to do much else, then struggled to wash my hair. It was stupid, the fact that I couldn't even open a bottle of shampoo with one hand and squeeze it out. So much that I got overwhelmed with how useless I'd been feeling lately and threw it behind me onto the shore. Sulking, I stayed sitting in the water, submerged up to my legs in my bra and underwear.
I missed home. I missed my mum and my dad and my sister. I missed playing soccer. I even missed school. But most importantly, I missed having two working arms and not constantly being in pain. The longer we stayed out here, the more we established a routine, the less likely it felt we would be rescued. It was all piling on top of me, my uselessness being the cherry on top.
Staring out into the horizon, I frowned. Ten more minutes must have passed with me giving up on washing my hair when I heard footsteps not far behind me. I didn't bother turning around, but then whoever it was called me.
"Hey!"
Sighing deeply, I glanced over my shoulder, so fed up with everything that even my usual surprise at Jackie's presence didn't affect me.
"You not coming out?" she asked, stood at the edge of the water, hands on her hips.
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and ignored her, looking forward again. Maybe she'd get the hint and leave me alone. Of course, she didn't.
"What's wrong?" she asked, and I pulled my knees up to my chest, hugging them.
"Nothing," I said, voice muffled.
I heard her sigh from behind me before her footsteps approached me, her feet splashing in the water.
"I'm bathing," I told her knowingly. "A little privacy would be nice."
She snorted with amusement before I heard her shuffling. Confused, I turned around and saw her pulling off her shorts before throwing them onto the rocky shore with her slippers, leaving her in her underwear and tee shirt.
"What are you doing?" I asked, puzzled.
She ignored me, instead grabbing the shampoo bottle I'd thrown back. Glancing at it and to me, she quirked a brow sarcastically. "This yours?"
I rolled my eyes and faced forward again, not bothering to acknowledge her presence as she seemed to be approaching me again. Only when she stood in front of me, blocking my view, and kneeled down to look at me was I forced to meet her gaze.
"D'you need help?" she asked softly, considerately.
Embarrassed, I looked down to my knees. Was it that obvious that I was struggling? Why was she the only one to check on me? The only one to notice? Why did she even care?
"Will you let me help you?" she asked when I didn't speak, and I finally looked up.
"Why?" I asked helplessly. "What's the point?"
She sat down cross-legged, unbothered by the water that was lapping against the bottom of her shirt. "For one, the smell in the cabin would go down significantly."
Realising she was joking, humour sparkling in her earth-coloured eyes, I scoffed and looked the other way. She began to laugh before patting my knee.
"Come on," she pleaded, laughter fading into a hopeful smile. "Please."
I didn't want anybody's help, especially not hers. But I needed it, and if she was being so kind as to come out here just to make sure I was okay, maybe it wasn't all so bad.
With a reluctant nod, I let her wash my hair for me, glad I wouldn't have to cause an ache in my other arm trying to do it. It was quiet as she did it, other than when she instructed me to dip my head in the water to wash out the shampoo and conditioner. Her fingers were delicate when she worked, massaging my head and putting me at ease instantly. I was still surprised at her aid, considering she'd always been preoccupied by herself or Shauna.
After I was done, she moved back in front of me, about to speak, but then her eyes caught sight of my swollen arm in my cast and widened.
"Woah, that looks painful," she noticed.
"Thanks," I said sarcastically.
"Are you taking the medicine Misty is giving you?" she asked with concern.
I tried not to hesitate as I nodded, lying. Truthfully, I hadn't been taking the medicine since a few days ago, as I knew Coach Scott's leg was at risk of infection if he didn't have enough. Besides, I'd taken some and the swelling had been going down. This was a bad day is all. Kind of.
"Okay, well...," she started, eyes lingering on my arm with an unreadable expression, before she stood up and held out her hand. "You're done. Come on."
I accepted her hand and she led me back to the shore, kindly helping me back into my clothes. After pulling her shorts and shoes on, I instantly hugged her with my good arm, certainly surprising her.
"Thanks, Jackie," I said sincerely, pulling back and seeing her raised eyebrows. "You don't know how good you're being."
She smiled, preoccupied. "Don't. I'm just helping."
I begged to differ, but she wasn't in the mood to hear it and I wasn't going to fight her on it. Instead, I just offered her a small smile before we both headed back to the cabin together.
Later that day, I was sat in the woods for some alone time, perched on a log and reading my book, when suddenly something was thrown right at me, startling me.
"What the hell?!" Jackie shouted, and I looked up to see she'd found me and was furious.
Confused, I looked to see what she'd thrown at me, only to realise it was the medication I hadn't been taking. Oh, no.
"You aren't taking it!" she shouted with exasperation.
I looked up to her, still baffled. "How did you evenââ
"I'm not stupid," she snapped, before taking a deep breath to contain herself.
"It doesn't matter," I said calmly. "Coach needs them more. He's literally lost his leg andâ"
"Why do you keep belittling your injury?!" she asked in a broken voice. "Nobody needs a hero, Y/N, just take the damn meds!"
The patronising tone she was using was it for me, and I suddenly stood up, unable to let her make me feel bad anymore.
"Why the hell do you even care, Jackie?" I retorted.
Taken aback, she raised her eyebrows before crossing her arms and avoiding my eyes. "I'm the capâ"
"Nobody gives a shit about that anymore!" I cut her off, before glaring at her. "You never paid me any mind before, so what gives now, huh? Did Jackie fucking Taylor suddenly grow a heart?"
She scoffed, rolling her eyes.
"Seriously, why the hell do you care all of a sudden?" I continued. "Why do youâ?"
"Because it's my damn fault!" she said, and my anger was momentarily replaced by further confusion. She continued to ramble, "I didn't mean to, but the plane was on fire and Shauna was going to get hurt and I just rushed out of there without thinking and I didn't mean to push you and then you broke your arm and I feel guilty, okay?!"
Furrowing my brows, I studied her as she took a deep breath. Though she was stressed by her admission of guilt, I was oddly calm.
"That was just an accident," I said, unsure why it mattered to her so much. "If that's why you've been helping me, why you've been keeping an eye on me... you can stop. I'm not dying."
"Yeah, now," she said knowingly, guilt-laden eyes meeting mine, "but when a fucking bear comes out of nowhere and tries to eat you, what are you gonna do with one arm?"
It took me a second to realise she was dead serious, and I tried very hard not to smile.
"If a bear tried to eat me and I had my arm, I'd still get eaten," I said matter-of-factly. "You think I can take on a bear?"
She groaned with discontent. "You don't get it!"
I covered my mouth, struggling not to smile in front of her and piss her off more. She only fixed me with a classic Jackie glare.
"Just take the fucking meds," she said threateningly, in a way that was reminiscent of a cute dog barking, before storming off.
Admittedly, I had to pause and think about what the hell just happened, still a little lost. All this time, she'd been helping me out of guilt? She blamed herself for my broken arm? It was an accident and she couldn't have known what would happen. Tensions were high, it was chaos! I couldn't blame her even if I tried. It was almost laughable how she'd reacted, though at least it explained her sudden interest in my welfare.
When I returned to the cabin after her outburst, she glanced at me once but didn't bother speaking to me. And when I thought it would be a temporary thing, she began to ignore me over the next few days, actively avoiding me. If it weren't to share the cabin to sleep, she'd either completely leave the space I was in or go as far away from me as she possibly could. Could've been guilt, anger or embarrassment, I wasn't sure, but I knew it was extremely childish.
I was filling up a bottle of water from our basin when she rounded the corner and saw me, clearly wanting to do the same judging from her own bottle in hand. One glance my way and she was ready to leave, but I decided to make the first move after a week of not speaking.
"I'm not gonna bite," I pointed out.
She clenched her jaw with indifference. "I know."
A smile ghosted my lips as I focused on filling my bottle, and she surprisingly approached the basin and did the same. It was silent, the sound of our movement filling the air, but she was still tense beside me. It felt all wrong, especially after how supportive she'd been since we got here.
"I'm taking my medicine by the way," I said casually, but I wanted her to know that she hadn't wasted her breath. I'd listened.
"That's good," she spoke after a moment, trying not to sound too bothered.
"Yeah, I wasn't going to, but then this angry soccer player who was crushing under the immense guilt from foreshadowing my improbable yet supposedly imminent death by bear made me feel bad," I continued calmly.
She paused her action, glancing at me with a look of disbelief, and I couldn't hold in my laughter any longer. Her expression was priceless.
"Asshole," she muttered, but she was clearly trying not to smile.
I capped my bottle before saying, "This is awkward. Stop avoiding me, please. I don't hate you or anything. And you don't need to keep checking on me out of guilt. We can just... go back to normal, whatever that was."
She gave me a disapproving glance. "It wasn't just out of guilt."
I raised an eyebrow. "No?"
"Believe it or not, Y/N, I do care about you," she said, surprising me. And then she added quickly, "I care about everyone here."
Heart warming at her words, I began to feel bad for what I'd said to her when we argued. "Thanks," I said quietly. "And I'm sorry for what I said, about you suddenly growing a heart. Wasn't nice at all. Or true."
She shrugged awkwardly, looking down. "It's okay. I've been a bit selfish lately. I know the girls say it. Even Shauna thinks it.â
I looked over at her, noticing the conflicted expression she wore. Underneath her confident, cool girl demeanour was just a normal teenager like everyone else, and right now, she looked more and more like that.
"Not always," I reminded her, hoping she knew that I was still grateful for what she'd done for me since the crash, guilt or no guilt.
She exhaled softly, an appreciative smile on her lips, and I was beginning to question if breaking my arm was worth giving me a reason to get to know Jackie Taylor in a different way.
â
When there wasn't the threat of survival creeping up on us, or the fear of being stranded away from our lives back home forever, there was complete and utter boredom. There was only so many times you could play the same card games or read the same books without wanting to smack your head against a wall.
I realised soon enough that I missed playing soccer and one day when I was having a wander near the cabin, I began to subconsciously kick around an acorn. That was where acorn soccer began. Now, whenever I was fed up doing the same thing all the time, I'd go into a little clearing near the cabin and start kicking around an acorn to have a sense of normalcy.
This time, as I was dribbling the acorn around some sticks, I heard someone approaching and glanced up to see it was Jackie.
"What are you doing?" she asked with both amusement and curiosity.
"Playing soccer," I said like it was obvious, before kicking the acorn in the air towards her. Instinctively, she caught it with her foot, stabilising it and letting it hit the ground gently. I cracked a smile, saying, "Someone's not lost their touch."
She rolled her eyes, a smile threatening to break out on her lips. "So this is where you disappear to?"
I quirked a brow. "Why? You keeping tabs?"
"You wish you were that interesting," she retorted, kicking around the acorn.
"Interesting enough for you to track down, clearly," I teased.
She glanced at me with a glint of humour in her eyes. "Maybe I just needed to make sure the bear didn't get you."
I grinned. "Aw, you do care! Nice to know you have my back."
At this, she finally let out a laugh, teeth showing and eyes sparkling and in such a way that I couldn't help but admire how pretty she looked right now.
"Okay, where's the goal?" she asked after a moment, pausing from kicking around the acorn.
"What?"
She gave me a look. "I'm bored too, now c'mon."
I chuckled and began to explain to her the unimpressive yet fulfilling setup I had, which consisted of me kicking the acorn between two trees as a 'net'. Once she was caught up, we found a bigger acorn together and began to play.
It was almost like we were back at soccer practice, playing and having fun and not having to worry about any impending doom. I'd forgotten how good it could feel to just be, and I'd especially forgotten how good Jackie was at soccer, making for the perfect opponent.
She scored for the third time and raised her hands in the air as she cheered for herself. "Hell yeah!"
"You see, this is why we got to nationals," I reminded her, making her laugh.
"God, I forgot how fun soccer was," she said with a sigh. "Clever idea with the acorn."
I shrugged. "Boredom struck. Creativity thrived."
She snickered, hands on her hips, before nodding at my arm. "Should you even be playing with your arm like that?"
I quirked a brow. "What you gonna do? Rat me out to Misty?"
She snorted with amusement. "She's too busy with Coach Scott to care."
I tried not to laugh, knowing Misty had been enjoying herself a little too much with looking after Coach Scott and his leg. It was clear she liked him, and though he was aware of how inappropriate it was, he had no choice but to accept her help. Yeah, the last thing on Misty's mind was if I was playing acorn soccer or not.
"Okay, you ready for the next one?" Jackie asked, already kicking the acorn into the centre to start again. "I might just take it easy on you this time. Y'know, because you're at a disadvantage."
I glared at her playfully, ignoring the way her cocky grin made me feel. "Game on, Taylor."
â
Since that point, I'd found myself looking out for Jackie a little more than usual. I guess you could say she'd piqued my interest more than she ever had. Back home, she was my team captain and that was it. We never really hung out outside of practice or soccer parties because our circles never crossed over. Now though, with her looking out for me and hanging out with me more, I was beginning to develop a little crush on her.
I would've been insane not to. She was funny, flirty, smart and she always knew what she wanted. And it was probably silly of me to crush on the one girl I could never get, but it certainly made my current situation a bit more manageable. Nothing like a teenage crush to get your mind off reality.
I liked to think I was subtle with it, the whole checking out Jackie every now and then. It was only when she was a fair distance away and there was no chance she would spot me. But one morning, as I was helping Akilah boil some more water from the lake, I spotted Jackie walking out of the cabin with Shauna. It was nothing different, but for some reason, she just looked extra stunning this morning. I wasn't sure what it was â possibly my own delusion â but I couldn't stop stealing looks at her.
And then she glanced my way, catching my eye, and before I could even react, embarrassed I'd been caught out, a knowing smile appeared on her lips and she winked playfully before paying her attention back to Shauna. I swallowed, flustered, and didn't look at her again for the rest of the day. Stupid crush.

in which touya is your best friendâs older brother
cw/tw: fem!reader, reader is in college, make out scene, nothing else i think
wc: 2.9k
a/n: obsessed with my own au. part two can be found here.
from middle school to high school, you and the two eldest todoroki children had followed the same 8AM-3PM schedule, eating the same assigned lunches and traveling in and out of the same building. but it wasnât until your second year of high school that they really became aware of your existence, after you and fuyumi began volunteering at the same local daycare center. you vividly recall her flushing a deep shade of red that matched the streaks in her hair when youâd told her you were in the same year, and having to repeatedly assure her that she hadnât upset you. it was an honest truth; not once had you been put in the same class, and you yourself couldnât name one person outside of your own â with the exception of the todoroki siblings. it was impossible to be unfamiliar with the two when their popularity was so overwhelming. fuyumi, for her beauty, intelligence, and tenderhearted demeanor, and touya, mostly for his delinquent behavior. thereâd been a few fleeting instances over the years where youâd fallen under the same spell as your classmates; the one that glued their eyes to the hot troublemaker just a grade above you. but they were just that â fleeting.
youâre not sure what was contaminating the air inside of the todoroki household the first time you came over; only that it had infected you with a certified school girl crush on your best friends older brother. every interaction with him left your heart flapping itâs dainty little wings. being fuyumiâs best friend, and spending as much time over as you did, granted you access to exclusive perks. âperksâ such as the offhand, sarcastic comments you were now susceptible to; ones that weirdly drew you in instead of putting you off. you were able to see him doing things other than smoke on top of the bleachers from the window of your after-school prep classes, or beat up some random upperclassman in the middle of the hallway. watching him play the guitar, obliterate everyone at shogi, and tend to the garden plants was quite the change of scenery. if feeling special was a crime, you were guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, though youâre sure your classmates would too if theyâd experienced the feeling of touya peeking at your homework over your shoulder and âobnoxiouslyâ whispering the answer into your ear.
it was just your luck that the very same virus had to go and infect little 13 year old natsuo and make you his target. little natsuo who would stammer and blush and make a complete fool out of himself whenever you were around. little natsuo who once noticed you while playing soccer with shouto and touya in the yard, and got smacked in the face with the ball in the process (youâll never let him live it down). little natsuo who singlehandedly destroyed your hopes and dreams of ever getting touya to look at you differently. because once the eldest todoroki sibling caught on, he refused to let it go. heâd gone as far as to create a ship name for the two of you, one that even shouto â always craving his big brothers approval â had started using. your eye twitched every time he would refer to you as natsuoâs girlfriend. it went without saying that the whole thing was just one big, running joke. but natsuoâs feelings were real, and you knew touya would rather stick his hand in a blender than break his little brothers heart â that is, if he ever even saw you that way in the first place.
touya graduates at the end of your second year, declaring heâs taking a âgap yearâ and moves out to live with a friend of his; the shy one youâd met a few times and bonded with over animal crossing once. rei permits it without much of a fuss, grateful that itâs tenko and not one of those âawful influencesâ he used to hang around at school (though you always suspected tenko had a secret wild side, too). he visits occasionally, still acting like he never left, but his overall absence allows you to finish your final year without the distraction of silly little feelings consuming you. you pride yourself on how well youâve managed to suppress it all, just to feel like a complete liar on every single one of his visits, when he tugs on your hair and scares you from behind as a greeting like some grade schooler with a crush. by the time touyaâs gap year ends, you and fuyumi begin your first semester of college, and rei has grievously accepted that her son is not planning on getting a degree.
a week prior to your winter break, youâre asked out by a guy in one of your gen-ed classes as youâre leaving with fuyumi. although touya doesnât immediately come to mind, and the guy seems decent enough, you feel compelled to turn him down. itâs fuyumiâs elbow nudging into your back as she attempts to appear busy on her phone that gets a âsureâ out of you. that friday, you find yourself sitting at the theaters watching a newly released horror movie next to a guy you havenât batted an eyelash at other than the one time both you and fuyumi had missed a powerpoint slide. itâs then that touya â who you havenât seen in nearly three weeks â comes to mind, for two particular reasons: a) because this is the type of thing heâd definitely put on after intruding on your and fuyumiâs movie night and b) because this is kind of a weird first date, but youâre sure it wouldnât be as bad (or bad at all, for that matter) with him.
the following night, youâre at the todoroki household to help them get things sorted for the winter break trip youâll be tagging along for. touya has finally reappeared and is uselessly laying in starfish position on fuyumiâs bed as you hand her clothes to fold into her suitcase. heâs rambling on and on about his recent whereabouts and his plans to start a tattoo apprenticeship, to backpack across europe, and to start a band, and a bunch of other things that heâll probably forget about in a few months. even though half of what heâs saying is nonsense, he sounds so enthusiastic, you canât help but smile and nod along. fuyumi scolds you to stop encouraging him, which he rolls his eyes at before asking, âanyways, whatâs going on with my sister in law?â. natsuo has just recently gotten into his first real relationship with his first real girlfriend, so youâre ready to correct him until â
ânuh-uh! not your sister in law anymore. i mean, unless you count our marriage,â fuyumi intercepts. âshe scored herself a boyfriend this week. oh my gosh, i didnât even ask you how your date went!â
the clothes are long forgotten as fuyumi shakes you violently by the shoulders, and you donât have time to explain that the date went nowhere before touya is mumbling something about ânot wanting to hear this crapâ and leaving the room. the next day, touya brings home a girl for the very first time. seeing her makes you realize that youâve never put much thought into what touyaâs type might be like. the girl standing before you is sweet and effortlessly beautiful, able to make a casual outfit look dressy. you donât question how strange it is that he would choose to introduce her to his family the day before a trip, or the fact that he doesnât outright call her his girlfriend. youâre much too focused on the way she constantly leans into him, and shamefully flitting your eyes away when he looks up at you like he knows youâre watching. you will yourself not to shed any tears as you lay beside fuyumi that night, thinking about how his absence in the last three weeks must have been because he was spending them all with her.
the car ride to the log cabin youâll be staying at for the week is spent stuck between the window and shouto, whoâs going ham on some game on his ipad (you hate to admit how entertaining it is to watch), and shooting lasers into the back of touyaâs head through the gap in the headrest. thereâs a few times your eyes meet through the passenger side window, but instead of pulling a face like usual, he looks away. whether your nausea is a result of motion sickness or emotional distress, thereâs no telling. by the time you reach the cabin, the moon is out and the stars are littering the sky, offering just a bit of light that peaks through the towering trees and helps with the unloading of the trunk. upon settling in your rooms, rei announces that sheâs going straight to bed. you can already hear shouto and natsuoâs voices coming from their own rooms; shouto playing with his little green haired friend and natsuo talking to his girlfriend. fuyumi, always so productive, immediately gets to unpacking her suitcase â an activity you have little interest in.
it was the promise of a hot tub that got you to come on this trip in the first place, and you werenât going to let the night deter you from your wish. fuyumi insists that tomorrow is promised as you carelessly dig through your luggage for a swimsuit, but you donât budge. you curse your stubbornness when you head down to the back porch to find the hot tub lit up, bubbling, and occupied. youâre met with the sight of a bare back thatâs more built than the last time youâd seen it. touyaâs lack of acknowledgment of your presence deceives you into turning your heel for an attempt at a silent escape; a silence that is soon shattered by the sound of swashing water, and then touyaâs voice: âi donât, bite you know.â itâs with reluctance that you turn back to face him. his arms are dangling off the side of the tub, his chin propped at the edge. âi wouldnât put it past you,â you quip back.
you donât think the lack of conversation is nearly as awkward for touya as it is for you. heâs been staring at the water, unblinking, for the past five minutes (months, for you), chewing on his lip pensively like something magical might bubble to the surface. your eyes, on the other hand, have been scanning every area of the premises for something that might save you. the woods are pitch black with the exception of the porch lights. maybe you could bring up how scary it is out here? no, you donât want to come off as a wimp. the skiing plans for tomorrow? no, thatâs lame. how about his girlfr â
âis it okay if i kiss you?â
the sudden jolt of your body causes a big splash that manages to hit both you and touya in the face. if heâd lost his mind, the water should have been enough to startle him and set it straight. instead, he wipes a hand down his face and continues to look at you expectantly for your answer. youâre incapable of offering it to him in words; so you wade your way across the tub to where heâs sat, kneeling in front of him as an invitation. perhaps it was silly to assume he was asking for a simple, chaste peck, but the arm that hooks itself around your waist and pulls you forward elicits a gasp out of you nonetheless. but itâs nothing compared to the thrill you feel when both of his arms move to grab your thighs, effectively hoisting you up and getting you to straddle him. not once in any of your fantasies had you imagined being on top of touya, but you think the reality is much more satisfying. itâs hard to say who makes the first move, seeing as youâre both hungry for the same thing. your fingers are digging into touyaâs cheeks, and his onto yours in a different area. youâve been told countless times that your first time making out wouldnât be a scene out of a movie. but somehow, touyaâs lips and tongue guide you in a way that makes you look and feel like youâve been doing this for years.
itâs everything youâve ever dreamed of and more, excluding the sound of fuyumiâs âoh my god!â ringing in your ear. sheâs standing at the slide doors with her hands covering her eyes, nearly tripping over her own feet. instantly, you rip yourself away from her older brother and shoot out of the water, scrambling for an explanation. she shouts something about waiting for you up in the room before nearly colliding face first with the glass doors. you donât bother to look at touyaâs reaction as you exit the tub and quickly snatch a towel, nor at rei, now wide awake and frantically and asking whatâs wrong as you zoom up the stairs. you waste no time in profusely apologizing to fuyumi, whoâs now laying flat on the bed with her head dug into a pillow. the thought of your friendship coming to an end has your voice shaking and tears forming in your eyes. the sound gets fuyumi to set the pillow aside and smile at you softly.
âiâm not angry. i just wish i hadnât had to see that with my own two eyes,â she laughs, hands holding yours. âbut i am a little confused as to why youâd wanna be with my gross old brother of all people. i thought that other guy was a catch.â
itâs hard to identify whether the sound that leaves you is a sob or a laugh, but you allow yourself fall into fuyumiâs arms in relief. she spends the rest of the night interrogating you, and then singlehandedly planning out your future wedding.
touya actively avoids you for the rest of the trip, opting out of all the planned activities in exchange for staying holed up in his room until hunger strikes and forces him down to the kitchen. you try not to be hurt by his behavior, disregarding it as him being embarrassed at being caught by his little sister. that assumption is proved wrong when he has multiple interactions with her, while acting as if you donât exist. of course, fuyumi attempts to get an explanation for you, but she always comes back with the same response: âhe said heâs not going to talk about it with meâ.
on the last day of the trip, you tag along with natsuo and shouto for a day of ice skating, fuyumi staying behind to get a head start on some assignments. it was just yesterday that youâd suddenly remembered the girl touya had brought over, and come to the conclusion that the reason he must have been avoiding you is because heâd cheated, and the guilt was eating him alive. it didnât matter how hard fuyumi insisted that her brother would never sink so low, and that heâd never said she was his girlfriend. you were now certain you were the other woman, and staying in the house was driving you mad.
the three of you are sat outside the rink, rental skates in hand. youâre focused on tying up your own as shouto makes repeated calls of his brotherâs name, each call being ignored and becoming more irritated by the second. natsuo is glued to his phone, typing away and smiling like a fool, shoutoâs pokes at his puffer jacket going completely unnoticed.
âjesus, natsu,â you roll your eyes, punching him on the arm with enough force to get his attention. âshoutoâs been calling your name for ages.â
âsorry! iâm texting my girlfriend.â
you chuckle as you kneel down to attend to shoutoâs neglected skate laces. âyou didnât even have to say. when are you gonna bring her over? you know, like touya.â
the last part definitely could have been left out, and said in a less bitter tone, but it gets natsuo to quirk his eyebrow in confusion. âthat girl from last week? i donât even know why touya brought her over. he complains about her to me all the time. says she has an annoying crush on him,â he mumbles.
the strength required to keep down the grin threatening to form at his revelation is downright shameful, though the satisfaction doesnât last long. because if touya doesnât have eyes for someone as stunning as her, where does that place you? you know itâs sneaky of you to take advantage of natsuoâs obliviousness, but with the way things are going with touya, you know heâs the closest youâll get to some answers.
âthatâs too bad. she was really pretty.â
âyeah, well, i donât think iâve ever heard touya call anyone pretty.â
âi have,â shouto speaks up from under the confinements of his wool scarf. he winces when you unconsciously tighten his laces a little too hard at his statement.
natsuo looks at him like heâs been shot. if touya was going to gush about someone he was sure itâd be to him. âwhen? who? where?â
âhe didnât tell me. i just heard him, once, when his friends were over. they were talking about girls and stuff, and they were making fun of him. because he never liked anyone. and then he got all mad and started yelling that he did like someone.â
âwhen was this?â natsuo probes on, phone now long forgotten.
âhis second year, i think. it was before fuyumi met you,â shouto points a gloved hand at you.
high school touya never showed an interest in anyone; it was one of the reasons everyone believed they had a chance. your jealousy has now been replaced with sincere curiosity, an eagerness that reflects natsuoâs.
âdo you remember their name?â
shouto nods nonchalantly, completely oblivious to the fact that he has you and natsuo on the edge of your seats.
âi never said anything because i thought it had to be another person with the same name after he started making fun of you and natsu.
but it was your name.â

Moonlight Dalliance / Izzy Hands Imagine
Request: I wrote this a couple of weeks ago but I think I might have accidentally deleted it off Tumblr because I canât find it now! Hope you enjoy and Iâll have another request out asap! đ
Warning: spicy, implied sexual content, sword fighting, mentions of blood and some strong language!

â.ă.:ăťÂ°â.ă.:ăťÂ°
Before you had even reached the deck, you could hear the clashing of steel reverberating through your bunk.
If it hadn't been for the pouring of sawdust through the cracks in the ceiling beams that rained down like ash over your nostrils: if it hadn't been for the graceful leaps of careful footsteps lightly stepping in box squares above your hammock, you might have chalked down the noise to Roach's snoring. In fact, as you swing your legs over to your side and try, as quietly as possible, to land on the floor of the recreation room without waking as many as your ship mates as possible, said cook was trying to do his best impression of what could only be called a foghorn mixed with an incredibly rusty blender.
'For God's sake-!' The sound of Lucius' voice disturbing you as you were trying to tip toe towards the door almost makes you jump out of your skin. Unravelling Black Pete's arm from around his waist, he gives a final groan into the side of his pillow before throwing it in a wide arch straight at Roach's head. 'If you don't stop snoring I'll stick my wooden thumb, splinters and all, straight up your ar-.'
Thankfully, the sound of you wincing as you grab onto the handle and inch the hinges slowly backwards is drowned out by a stout HMPH as Lucius' pillow lands on Button's stomach. You can't help but let out a snicker at the way the man shoots straight up from his slumber like a scarecrow being raised in a field. He arches one eyebrow and glanced around intently. 'Attack, we're under attack!' You take the opportunity of your fellow crewmates either lunging out of their hammocks, or being tipped out onto the floor during the frantic hustle and bustle that followed to escape out to the helm of the ship. In fact, Wee John seemed to take far too much pleasure out of twirling the Swede's hammock so that the man ended up a mess of tangled limbs, yelping like a fly caught up in a spider's web as Oluwande tried to grab his arm and pull him back out. You didn't mind the good natured jostle of your friends: you had spent so much of the evening tossing and turning, unable to get the thought of one arrogant prick in particular out of your mind, and so the excuse to leave your bunk and get some fresh air was more than welcome.
The sea air -Â god, the sea air felt so kind on your tired lungs.
The night seemed fragile, the moonlight tender as it spilt over the creaking boards of the ship and pooled in a warm puddle around your feet. It seemed to widen within your eyes, a fine mist spraying like a wicked phantasm from its shadows and coating the surrounding sea in thin tendrils of smoke. With a mind hazed with tiredness, you rubbed at the corners of your eyes and tried to chase away that dream-like glow only the late night could bring. The sails caught in the mild wind and groaned above you, masking out the sounds of Izzy's short pants as he wiped his forehead with the untucked end of his shirt. In fact, not realising yet that you were standing only a mere few metres away from him, he grabbed his shoulder and tugged his shirt off completely, discarding it with a frustrated throw at Stede's cabin doors.
Two hands grip tighter on the wood, willing its body to relax. The tang of salt could do nothing to burn away the fizzling want banging against your ribcage, nor could the cool pinch of the helm railings distract you from the fact that you had spent every second of that day restless; as if on repeat, every time you closed your eyes, or had your thoughts distracted away from repairing the helm, or talking to Lucius, or exploring the islands Stede had insisted you all stop at so he could take Edward off on some grand adventure, you were taken back to that afternoon. The feel of Izzy Hands, the soft ache in his eyes, so desolate, so hopeful: when he had been congratulating you on a job well done fighting off some remote Englishman who had tried to ambush your crew once you had docked, and behind the thrum of his beating heart he hadn't the wit to stop his arm from reaching out and brushing the back of his knuckles against the droplets of blood splattered on your cheek.
His smile had dropped almost immediately of course, and he had run like a gun was being unloaded against his heels back into his quarters and hid there for the night, but the look in his eyes when he had touched you... god, if it wasn't enough to make Davy Jones repent his sins, for even his adoration for Calypso would seem like hatred in comparison.
Yet only the smoky gleam of the moon melting over the champagne waves kept your aching head company. The moon, being a sneaky temptress, was in fact the one thing that drew you to the cause of your distraction; squinting down onto the deck, it took you a minute to remember the reason you had come up here in the first place.
Izzy Hands. In the flesh. And lots of it, if the sweaty gleam of his bare chest was anything to go by.
It takes a moment for your mind to shape the shifting umbra into a perceptible form: he looks angry, furious, even, as his sword slices the misty air like swiss cheese and gives lashes to the main mast. The cherry wood cracks easily under the weight of his blows, the poor shaved shards that land by his feet obviously taking the brunt of the walloping you can only assume is meant for your captain.
Swallowing your nerves, you call out to the fickle shape. 'What are you doing wandering about at a time like this?'
He startles as you wander across the ship towards him, perching back against the side of the mast he was currently tearing to shreds. Incredulously, he looks you up and down before bowing his sword. Your laughter sweetens the edge of his blade, and for a moment Izzy's step falters at the sound.
âI could ask you the very same thing. Don't you know that all the horrifying creatures slink out from the depths after the full moon rises.' He tilts his head at you, pushing his tongue up against his teeth to stop a smile from breaking like welcome dawn across his face. 'Would hate to see you get dragged away by something... wanton.'
You scratch your cheek, trying your best to hide how you were growing flustered at his words. 'Well, at least if I get dragged away I'll be going with clothes on.â
He flushed at that, head tilting down as he crossed his arms gruffly over his abdomen and blinked languidly.
'What are you actually still doing awake?', you ask, crossing your arms and doing your best not to fantasize about leaping forward and ripping the rest of his trousers straight off with one tear.
'I couldn't sleep.' What he didn't tell you, was that he couldn't sleep because he was so in love with you his heart felt like it was going to bleed out of his fucking chest any time he tried to distract himself from thoughts of you.
'Yeah, neither could I.' What you didn't tell him, was that you couldn't sleep because you were dreaming of grabbing Izzy by that scruffy collar and kissing him silly.
A tense silence suffocated the two of you, sliced only by Izzy shooting his sword through the air with one last precise carve through the freshly hollowed mast. Izzy whips out his wrist, clenching his fingers into a tight fist to try and alleviate some of the burning tension running through his joints at the desperation to touch you.
âYou did well today. As much as I hate to admit it, you can fight better than any of those other morons.â
âA compliment? From Izzy Hands? Pinch me, I must still be dream-â
âYour footwork is a little rusty, though. Could use some work, so you donât trip over and fall on your own bloody sword.â
âThere we go. Thereâs always a but with you, isnât there? You canât just give the compliment and leave it hanging.â
'I'm just saying... it would be a real shame to pierce such a breast.' Your breath hitches as his eyes dip down to contemplate the sliver of skin still on show between the free flowing buttons of your dress shirt. He sniffles, fingers almost indiscernibly tightening around the metal of the hilt as he did his best to stifle the overflowing shiver that was running up and down his legs. He keeps a tight watch on you for a moment, before biting his bottom lip with his top teeth and darting his eyes out towards the ocean, both incredibly aroused and also incredibly sheepish from having shown such weakness.
'And to ruin such a fine blade.'
He runs his hand across his beard, motion tired yet calculated. Too jolted to speak, let alone run away back down to your bunk and hide your head underneath Oluwande's arm for the rest of time, you leave Izzy the perfect opportunity to pounce.
âHere⌠come hereâ, his knuckles fold as he beckons you forward with one hand, his other still resting on the hilt of his rapier as he jabbed it into the floor and let it drop after a moment. If he had let it go just then, as he watched the swish of your hips approach him, he had a pretty good feeling his knees would buckle underneath him. âI have far more experience than you do. You ought to learn from a real pirate. Not the hoity toity arsehole that runs around this ship like a headless chicken.â
âIf I remember correctlyâ, you say sharply with a growing smile, âyou lost against that headless chicken.â
âDonât.â Before you have time to realise whatâs happening, Izzy has grabbed you by the waist and rugged you back. He prays you didnât hear the hoarse groan that jilted from the back of his throat as your buttocks bounced back against the tensed muscles of his lower abdomen. His voice is gruff and warm against the shell of your ear, but his fingertips burn with the ferociousness of a thousand lantern fires as he snakes his free hand around your shoulders and grips onto the bottom of your chin.
'Don't tease me. It won't end well for you.' His thumb digs into your jaw as he tilts your head back, and you can feel his smirk branding itâs way into the bare strip of skin between the nape or your neck and the hollow of your earlobe. Your head is fully resting back against his forehead now, and his vice on you only lessens once heâs content that youâre too far gone to step away from him.
'Put your foot... here', he guides your right foot forward with the toe of his boot, almost sinfully slowly so he could feel every twitch and tense of your quadriceps against the inside of his thigh. 'There you go, lean your weight forward-'.
He tips you then, doubling you over so your back is pushed down against his groin. You swear you can feel the curls of his hair fall in loose curls down against the small of your back, gathering that his head must be hovering just above your tailbone. For your own sake, to stop your legs from turning into jelly and letting your full weight fall so easily into Izzy's grip, you pretend the haunting moaning sound you hear must be from the hinges of the sails as they turn through the night sky.
'Perfect form', he breathes out in a short gasp against the shell of your ear once he's collected himself, his arm tightening around your stomach as he places you. His right hand drags down your arm, teasingly burning a trail right down over the back of your hand and onto your fingers as he entraps them with his own. He turns your hand, his own clenching so they fold over your own. 'That's it, now jut forward and strike.'
His knee pushes against the side of your buttocks as he jumps the two of you forward; he shoves a little too harshly, though, and just before your feet nearly trip backwards over the rotund exterior of a rogue barrel, Izzy's hand has shot out like a viper to latch its teeth around your wrist. His fingers squeeze as he tilts you upright again, a sharp exhale whistling out of his nose at how close you come to falling into his chest.
'You're not a bad teacher', you manage to laugh out between gasps, 'but unless you're packing... who doesn't bring a weapon to a sword fight?' Straddling to the side, you manage to slide down and grab onto his discarded sword, sweeping the tip through the air until it landed just below his chin. Tilting the skin up, you gaze down at him through dropped eyelids, his fingers now nearly convulsing against your wrist.
You manage to break free of his hold, grabbing onto his bare arm and pulling him so now he was the one caught in your trap. Your bicep holds around his stomach, moving with each tremble of his breath as you graze the sharp edge of his rapier down across his face and jut it under his jaw.
The bastard only smiles as you hold the edge of his blade against his throat.
'Did you really think you could win this fight?', he asks between the tight lips of a knowing smile, and it takes you a second to realise that his free hand has wrapped round to hold onto yours on top of the handle. He shoves the blade away, kicking out with his foot so you trip backwards. He easily catches you before you hit the ground.
You dance your fingers up his chest as he holds you tight against him, dipped down like lovers do during the first dance. All the stars burn deep within the depths of his soul, pouring out like razing destruction from his eyes as he keeps darting a path between your nose, and back down to your lips.
'I don't think you won this either, Izzy Hands. In fact, I think we both lost something here.' You spread your fingers out over the bare skin across his pec, feeling the flittering thud of his heart pound out against your fingertips.
By god, if he had ever been so delighted to lose.
His lips ravish you like a man shrivelled under the island sun, desperate to drown; before your gasp can fully deflate from your lungs, your legs have been kicked out from underneath you by a swift and skilled kick from the side of his boot.
Oh, he had been planning this for a long time. Had been thinking of nothing but this since he had boarded this vessel. The tightness of his arm as it snakes around your back and stops your shoulders from taking the brunt of the bounce off the boards: the way he throws his rapier behind his back without a second care, instead replacing his clenched fingers with the reddened meat of your hip as he levers you down was far too precise and meticulous to be a mere spur of the moment, subconscious thought.
An uncomfortable heat shivers over your torso and settles as an anchor weight in the pit of your stomach as Izzy grazes his right hand over the top of your thigh. Plop. Plop. Plop. His leather gloves ball as he taps his finger one by one, teasingly, against your inner thigh, using them to shove your legs wider apart. His lips pull away with a sickeningly sweet pop from your neck only for a second, as he breathlessly glances his eyes in a jagged path across your face.
He looks wonderstruck.
You can't help but reach out to touch the tough muscle of his left peck, swirling your finger across the short strands of his chest hair. The soft scrape of your fingernail soon turns into your fingers fully spreading out like the tendrils of a swift current once you feel him bury his head into the curve of your neck; his chin juts into your pulse point and the bastard has the audacity to whimper at the feel of your palm brushing over the hardened tip of his nipple.
If he wasn't living out all of his deepest, darkest dreams, the man nearly collapsed on top of you may have felt embarrassed at the way his pelvis began to buck down and brush the tightening leather over the rising line of skin underneath your belly button. In your turn to be bashful, you can feel a flush crawl over your cheeks as Izzy grabs onto the bottom of your thigh and tugs you closer, fist clenching over your ankle as he throws your right leg up and over the side of his hip bone. His hands are surprisingly soft, surprisingly gentle as he claws and kneads and mewls into you, his lips dragging down and over to the side of your jaw now with quick, tempered nicks.
You're scared his skin is going to melt off at the bone with how it burns against your hip: it holds tightly to the side of your pelvis, his thumb toying with the tassels hanging from the band of your trousers as he impetuously grinds down against you again. You can feel his shit eating smirk as the flat edge of his tongue licks a hot streak up to the shell of your ear; he bites down, tugging at your earlobe and clenching his fingernails so tightly into the soft skin at the side of your buttocks that you were amazed he didn't draw blood.
âWhat on earth was that noise?! Whatâs going on up here! Which hooligan is up making a ruckus on my ship? And so late! I know you wanted another bedtime story, but I told you, we all need our beauty sleep!â
The glim flicker of a handheld candle illuminated out from the stairway as the ruffled hair of your captain peered out past the door like a startled meerkat. With wide eyes, he mustered the courage to lift up the skirts of his nightshirt and take a step out onto the deck, away from the safety of Ed's gentle snores as they billowed out through the crack.
Before your captain can spot the two of you caught in such an awkward position: Izzy grinding against you like a needy dog, your hand bunched into a tight fist in his hair and your legs wrapped tightly around his taut waist, he shoves a gloved finger to your lips. Annoyed at being disturbed, you tilt the hand gripping his hair backwards and smirk to yourself as Izzy dips his head down to land between your breast bone to try and hide his groans.
Before you can tease him anymore, he's gripped onto your wrist and is tugging you up; he's near carrying you bridle style in his arms as he slips past the railings of the ship, mingling in with the shadows. His hand covers your mouth to stop your giggles, carrying you off down to the bunk of his room so the two of you can carry on your midnight dalliance where your poor, confused captain wouldn't be able to hear the pounding of the bed as its frame shudders against the wall and your screams echo out against the silent moonlight.

â˘Â°â˘Hot Girl Tipsâ˘Â°â˘
Hydrogen peroxide removes period stains
Rubbing alcohol and/or hand sanitizer removes nail polish
The amount of water you need to drink= your weightá2, then that numberá8 so for example 100á2=50á8=6.25 so if you weigh 100 pounds you would need at least six 8oz glasses of water per day
Sugar wax>>> here's a recipe: 1 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of lemon juice (lime works too) combine the ingredients in a saucepan and let them boil until golden brown. The easiest way to test the wax is to have a small bowl of ice water and drop a little bit of the wax into it. When the wax is ready, you'll be able to roll it into a soft ball and it will keep its shape. When this consistency is reached, put it in a glass jar (make sure the jar isn't cold otherwise it will crack) and let it cool off for at least an hour. Once cool, apply it in the opposite direction of hair growth and wax awayyyy
Diy cuticle oil: olive oil and vitamin E oil. You could add a drop or two of essential oil if you want. The amount of oil you need depends on your container so for mine it was a tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of vitamin E.
Diy dry shampoo: 3 parts cornstarch and 1 part baking soda.
Healthy drink to ease bloating and get in your vitamins and minerals: 1/2 cucumber, a few sticks of celery, kale or another dark green of your choice, lemon juice, turmeric (a little goes a long way) and ginger. Fresh is best but any ginger you have will work. Fill the blender to the max line with water, and blend until liquid. You can strain it if you want, but you don't have to. It doesn't taste great, but in the long run it is worth ittt
Smelling good is such a wonderful thing for so many reasons. First, pick a scent. Or at the very least a top 3 like I have: vanilla, Dior Blooming Bouquet, and Sol De Janeiro '68. I also use the classic scent from Soap and Glory (rose and bergamot). The first and most important thing is to find a good deodorant. Which one works for you depends on your body chemistry, but dove is always a safe bet :). Next, find a good shower routine. Having all of your shower products smell similar will keep the scent lasting longer. And, of course, shower at least every other day. Washing your hair is different bc your hair washing routine depends on your hair type. And of course you must find a body lotion that matches your other shower products.
Last and final tip for today: keep your nails and hands healthy and pretty by moisturizing your hands with hand cream. I like this one by Burts bees, this one from Eucerin, and this one from Dior (pricey I know but it's w o r t h itt).
That's it! Tysm

Ok so no prompt for the list for this one, but it's been rattling around in my brain for a little bit:
Adam has been stuck at the hotel for a bit, and him and Lucifer seem to be constantly fighting. Luci is constantly setting Adam off with jabs at his insecurities (the intent being lighthearted bickering, maybe even flirting, but he's Lucifer and his communication skills are shit), and Adam's response to being hurt is anger, so he always lashes out.
Once, after a particularly exhausting week, Adam doesn't have enough energy to get angry. So when Lucifer says something in an attempt to get a rise out of him (maybe a comment about Cain or Abel? Could be anything), instead of snapping at him or yelling, Adam just starts crying. He doesn't even realise it at first, but he's just so goddamn tired that he can't bring himself to get angry, and the hurt comes out a different way.
Lucifer goes to comfort him, but Adam refuses his support, asking him if he's happy now, if he got what he wanted. Luci doesn't understand, because he never realised that his words were hurting Adam.
From there it can go any which way, they make up there, Adam seeks comfort elsewhere (maybe Angel?? Holydust friends <33), Charlie getting angry at her dad, anything could happen!! It's all up to you :)
Indigo (*sticking Adam in the blender (/affectionate)*)
An angsty Adam smoothie, delicious!
Adam burst into tears, this was the shit cherry on the the shitty cake. All he wanted was to go to bed but no, this asshole has to say something to him. About his kids no less, his one major sore spot. "Are you fucking happy now asshole?! You made me cry you got what you wanted."
Lucifer stood there, stunned that he had actually made Adam cry. He was just teasing like he always did. He thought his teasing came off as flirting, he loved getting a rise out of Adam he was so cute when he was mad. The way his face flushed, his golden eyes held the emotion, his nose crinkled in the cutest way.
He was adorable.
Now though, maybe Lucifer was coming off more mean then he meant to.
Angel placed a hand on Adams shoulder and rubbed circle's on the sinners back. Even he was shocked by what the devil said, low blow about the guys kids.
"DAD!" Charlie scolded. "Apologize, there was no need for that."
Lucifer looked at Adam, guilt pooled in his heart. Well fuck. "I was just teasing like always, you know I didn't mean anything by it."
Adam scoffed and sniffed. "Yeah, cause saying I'm a fucking failure as a parent is real funny asshole." Okay, maybe he didn't say exactly that but that's how Adam took it.
Lucifer winced, yeah that was a low blow even for him.
"Why would you even fucking say that?"
"I like arguing with you. It's how we work, how we communicate." How we flirt, he added mentally.
"I would never look at you and say you're a shitty dad, even when you left her alone for seven fucking years." Okay yeah, Lucifer crossed a line.
"You're right. I crossed a line and I'm sorry. What happened to your boys wasn't your fault, you did the best you could with what you had at the time." Lucifer said, he really felt bad. "How about I make it up to you? Tomorrow we can go and do anything you want. My treat."
Adam blinked away his tears. "Anything?"
"Anything." The way Adam smirked at him told him all he needed to know.
He was really going to pay for this one wasn't he?

Thorn In My Side, Rose In My Hand (Part 4)
Pairing: Rafe Cameron x Reader
Warnings: Â Under Age Drinking, and Swearing
Pronouns: She/Her
Word Count: 4.4K
Summary: Everyone in her life is finally back on the island and she finally has her date with Wilson. But what happens when things donât go to plan and she starts questioning her feelings.Â
A/N: This was way longer than I though it was going to end up being because it was honestly supposed to just be a filler chapter but I honeslty just couldnât stop myself.Â
Masterlist
Y/N and Wilson had been texting for a week before he finally asked her on a date for tomorrow night. She isnât sure what he has planned, but he said the dress code is formal so maybe they are going to a fancy dinner. Not exactly her favourite idea, she could live with it though. Lacey returned back to the Outer Banks yesterday, so Y/N is going over to her house to cook brunch together. Even though Y/N and Mason picked Lacey up from the airport, the girls need some quality time together. Well, Lacey would do most of the cooking while Y/N snacks under the guise of quality testing and making smoothies for them.Â
âIâm here,â Y/N sings as she waves the bag of smoothie mix she brought. Knocking is no longer in her vocabulary in regard to her best friend. âI missed you so much, Bitch! The men in Paris may be hot. But they got nothing on being with you,â Lacey screams as she blindsides Y/N with a hug. Y/N laughs and wraps her arms around the other girl, âI missed you too. But I literally saw you yesterday, babe.â âYeah, but we spent so long a part for my month-long summer internship,â Lacey complains, âLetâs get cooking. Mama is hungry.â
Y/N moves toward the blender to begin mixing the smoothie blend. âSo a little birdie told me that you and Rafe are actually starting to get along with each other,â Lacey teases her friend.Â
âYeah⌠Heâs been acting like a totally different person lately. The teasing is mostly just verbal and he can actually be helpful.â
âAwwww, Y/N/N. It sounds like you have a crush on him. Should I start planning a wedding?â
âDonât be ridiculous. Plus, I met someone last weekend.âÂ
âOhh, tell me about him.âÂ
âWell, heâs sweet, funny, likes to read, he really likes doc-â
Lacey interrupts her, âI donât want those details. Show me a picture.â Y/N giggles and pulls up a picture on her phone to show her friend. Lacey also notices how similar Rafe and Wilson are but bites her tongue.
 âHeâs totally cute, but he looks like he has a stick up his ass.âÂ
âLACE! He does not! Although, he doesnât use contractions and goes to sleep at like 11 P.M., but I promise he is funny.â
 âOkay, but how is the sex?âÂ
"We havenât gone on a date yet. We have our first date planned for tomorrow night.âÂ
Before the conversation could continue, the oven timer goes off and Lacey goes to take out the chocolate chip scones from the oven. âSo what are the plans for tomorrow? Do you need help getting ready?â Y/N nods her head, âYeah, could you help me curl my hair, please? He said to wear something fancy so I was thinking of wearing that black dress that I wore to my cousinâs wedding last year. You know the long one with a spaghetti strap kind of style.â âOoh, youâd look so cute in that. I can definitely curl your hair. Maybe, I can braid it back like a little crown on your head,â Lacey gushes as she stirs the omelet in the pan. Y/N smiles at the girl and starts playing some music on her phone.Â
Brunch is finished quickly and the girls settle in the breakfast nook to eat. âSo letâs get back to the topic of Rafe Cameron because we both know you havenât told me everything, bitch,â Lacey bugs with a shove of Y/Nâs shoulder with hers. The slight blush on Y/Nâs cheeks doesnât go unnoticed by Lacey. âThere isnât much to say. I meanâŚâ Y/N stops not wanting to admit what she felt last week after having lunch with Rafe, Mason, and Wilson. âGirl, you better continue or else Iâm gonna make you cook for us next time,â Lacey warns as she knows where her friend is going. âFine, last week, after I had lunch with the boys and Wilson, I thought maybe⌠Maybe Rafe and I were going to kiss.â Lacey beams with excitement at this revelation. âNo way! What happened?â âKie and I jumped into the pool to sink the guys and⌠when it was just Rafe and me, he teased me about always getting him wet. He took my hand and we got closer, but I got a text from Wilson before it went any further,â Y/N wouldnât admit it but even she could hear the slight disappointment in her voice.Â
âYou totally shouldâve let him kiss you!â
âNo, it was a mistake for us to even have gotten that close. He may be sweet today, but it doesnât mean I can just forget about him being a jackass. Plus, he is Maceâs best friend. It would be awkward.â
âThatâs true, but Iâve always thought there was something between you and Rafe. And I think if you guys really like each other, Mace will accept that and be happy for you.âÂ
âMaybe. Letâs not talk about this anymore. I have a date with someone else tomorrow anyways.â
âââ
âSo how many parties did you throw and drag your sister to, Mason?â Cassie questions while she sits in her newly claimed passenger seat. Mason groans, âI was only able to convince her to let me throw one and even that was cut short. Not that it was your fault Y/N/N.â Mr. And Mrs. Y/L/N didnât mind their children throwing parties as long as the police didnât show up, everyone had a designated driver and nothing was broken. Theyâd rather be realistic about their childrenâs activities and ensure they do it safely.Â
âWhy? What happened?â Marvin looks up at his twins through the back mirror. âOwen was being an asshole when I went out to the gazebo. Rafe and Mace found me before anything serious could happen. Although I did punch him for insulting them, so I might need your help untangling that web.â Marvin shakes his head with a light chuckle, âLike that knuckleheadâs lawyers can beat the Y/L/Ns. I swear that idiotâs parents were just as bad as he was when I was in high school.â âHow was Bali?â Mason asks. âAmazing. You guys would love the beaches, weâll have to go back with you guys sometime,â Cassie gushes to her children. âThatâs a great idea, my love. Just, kids, remind me to put sunscreen on. I fell asleep on the first day when your mom was at pilates, I woke up three hours later as red as a lobster,â Marvin chimes in. This causes the whole car to laugh.Â
âââ
Y/N is getting ready for her date with Wilson. She does her makeup while Lacey lightly curls her hair and braids the front pieces back to create a crown. âHas he given you any hints about where you are going?â Lacey inquires, returning to sit in the bed after finishing Y/Nâs hair. Y/N pauses with her makeup sponge in hand and turns towards her, âNope. If itâs just dinner, it should be fine.âÂ
âItâs basic though. You hate those types of dates. You need more excitement.âÂ
âYeah, but at least itâs not like dumpster diving.âÂ
âI mean he could still do that. Maybe he just wanted it to be fancy.â
âOh my god, could you imagine?â
Both girls fall into hysterics at the notion, which catches the attention of a certain boy passing by the open door. Rafe pauses as he walks past the door and upon hearing the laughter, stops. He wants to go inside to investigate the reason behind it. He quickly starts to walk again toward Masonâs room, âWhere are Y/N and Lace going?â âOh, they arenât going anywhere. Lace is just helping Y/N/N get ready for a date with Wilson. Can you believe she actually wants to go out with him?â Mason states without so much as looking away from the video game he is playing. âA date? Really?!â âYeah. Now, dude, hop in before I get creamed by these guys.â Rafe does as he is told but he could not stop thinking about what Mason said. Y/N has been on dates before, but something about Wilson screams bad news for Rafe. All of Y/Nâs other dates were obviously not serious about her. They just liked the novelty of dating a Y/L/N and were not into dating men. Wilson seemed too serious at lunch to want to date around like the other boys Y/N has dated.Â
âI have to go, my dad wants to go to the country club for dinner. Bye, love you.â Rafe hears Lacey say from down the hall. The sound of her footsteps and the front door opening prompts him to say, âI actually forgot to get some snacks while I was downstairs. Iâm going to go get some now.â âOkay, dude.â
Rafe makes his way to Y/Nâs room and leans up against her door frame to watch as she looks at herself in the mirror. âWell, donât you look like a disaster, Y/L/N,â Rafe teases. âHaha, very funny. But seriously. Does this dress look okay?â Y/N asks timidly. Rafe wanted to say that it doesnât just so that she would take more time looking for something else to wear and miss the date, but the look of uncertainty on her face makes him forgo that tactic. He also wanted to be honest with her; the truth is the dress she wore wouldnât be the dress heâd want to see her in if he took her on the date. âWhile you looked amazing in that dress at your cousinâs wedding, I think this dress would be much better,â he answers as he walks towards her clothes and takes out her long black dress with a column skirt and halter top. He had seen her wear it last year to her dadâs 45th birthday bash. Rafe remembers having some inappropriate thoughts about the dress for a family event. Y/N nods at the suggestion and goes to try the new dress on in the bathroom.Â
She comes out with a smile on her face and does a little twirl for him, âRafe, this is perfect. Thank you!â She gives him a hug, which he returns. He was correct; she looks like an absolute vision and it kills him that he isnât the one taking her on the date. That he was honest with her and now Wilson will get to see her in Rafeâs favourite dress for a date. Although, Rafe wouldnât take her anywhere fancy on their first date. He knows it would make her nervous if he did, so he would take her to the bookstore first and buy any book she so much as glances at. Then heâd bring her over to his house to bake some cookies for their dessert after dinner, which would be a picnic on the beach at sunset. He would make sure to bring a sweater and an extra blanket for when the night breeze sent goosebumps up her arm. He has to shake himself out of his daydream before he stares too long, âNo problem. Have fun on your date. Be safe and Iâll probably see you when you get back because Iâm too lazy to go back home.â Rafe makes a quick exit back towards her brotherâs room.Â
Y/N notices the upset look on his face and assumes it is because of the thought of his father being home, the most likely reason why he is sleeping at her house again for the fifth night in a row. At this point, he might as well just move into their guest bedroom. Everyone in the Outer Banks knew that Ward Cameron had a favourite child and her name was Sarah Cameron. This caused Rafe to constantly try to get Wardâs approval so he could feel the same paternal love his middle sibling got, but no matter what he did it still led to arguments between the father-son duo. It didnât matter that Rafe had continuously dominated the breaststroke events in swimming, he still wasnât good enough in the eyes of Ward Cameron. She would be wrong though; the reason why he is upset this time is the fact that she is going on a date. Before she knew it, a knock was at the door and she heard her father answer the door.
She walks towards the landing overlooking the front entrance. âHello, I am Wilson Porter and I will be taking Y/N out on this fine evening. I hope you are in accordance with this idea, Mister âŚ,â Wilson greets while holding out his hand for her father to shake. She realizes she still hasnât told Wilson her last name yet. Her father takes Wilsonâs hands and shakes it, âHey, itâs Mr. Y/L/N. And I am fine with you taking her on a date as long as you have her home by one.â Y/N hopes Wilson doesnât make the connection to her mom. Y/L/N is a common last name. âOf course, Mr. Y/L/N. punctuality is my specialty. Ah, there is the woman of the hour. She looks radiant.â Y/N is surprised she doesnât blush at Wilsonâs compliment; she couldâve sworn she was on fire when Rafe was raving about how she looked, âThanks, Wilson. Are you ready to go?â âI absolutely am. Right, this way,â Wilson leads Y/N towards his car and goes to the driver's side. She thought he would open the door for her, but when he doesnât, she quickly scrambles to get in so it isnât awkward.Â
âââ
The car ride was filled with pleasant conversation. Wilson mostly talked about Cassieâs books, which doesnât surprise Y/N considering she knows he wants to become a writer as well and some of her motherâs earlier works are his favourite books. They arrive at La Fleur Bleue, an expensive French restaurant. She isnât thrilled to be here considering the portion sizes are so small. They enter the restaurant and are led to their table. They look at the menu, when Wilson speaks up, âDo you think I could order for us? I think I have you figured out and can pick you something you love.â âSure, Iâm not too sure what I want to get anyways.â âGreat,â Wilson waves the waiter over to order, âHello, we are both going to have the quiche loraine with a bottle of champagne, please.â The waiter nods, takes their menu and goes off to put their order into the kitchen. âHow did you get them to not check our id?â Y/N is astounded at the strings he could pull or hopes she isnât dating someone who is 21 without her knowing. âMy dad is a silent partner here, so they generally look the other way as long as the restaurant isnât busy,â Wilson explains.Â
At least, she knows he isnât dating her for her money. While waiting for the food to come out, Wilson starts up the conversation again, âSo have you had the chance to read The Wisp of Forever? Is it not a literary masterpiece? I mean hardly say this but Conan Austinâs work could rival Cassieâsâ
âNo, I havenât had the chance yet because my tbr is so long. But also, it doesnât really seem to be my type of book.â
âYou should stop filling your time with Bookâs Instagram and Young Adult Fiction. Itâs all nonsense you will grow out of and look back on with disgust. The books I read help fill you with knowledge and enlightenment. They are also realistic.â
âWell, I like YA and Bookstagram. I actually enjoy the books I read from there. Also, itâs nice to read about people going through similar issues as me,â she says as nicely as she can. She is used to this response from most adults in the Outer Banks community, so she has the response memorized. Before Wilson could retort, the waiter comes back with their food and champagne on a tray. The first thing she notices is how tiny her quiche is. It definitely will not be enough food for her, but she doesnât want to complain about it because of how expensive the food is. Even though her parents have generational wealth, Cassie and Marvin raised their children to be cautious of pricing and that just because they have the money now, doesnât mean that it canât disappear with one bad decision. Sheâll just make grilled cheese when she gets home. As she eats, she notices she is shivering. The AC is on so high right now. With nothing to cover herself with, she tries to continue eating.Â
Dinner went and passed with pleasant conversations about themselves. âWould you guys like to look at the dessert menu?â The waiter offers after clearing their plates. Y/N is about to speak up, but Wilson beats her to it, âNo, we actually have somewhere else to be, so just the check, please.â The waiter returns with a check and places it on the table between the pair. Wilson pushes the bill close to Y/N. She isnât one to expect the man to pay for the first date every single time, but she thinks that whoever asks the person out and chooses what to do should pay for the date. Or at least split the bill. She doesnât want to make a scene, so she pays the bill without a word. Maybe, he just wants to reverse the unfair expectations of men always paying, which she could get on board with. Wilson gets up in a hurry and makes his way toward the entrance, leaving Y/N to run after him. He opens the door for himself and walks through. This causes the door to shut in her face. Y/N awkwardly opens the door for herself and gets into Wilsonâs car.Â
âSo where are we going to now?â Y/N asks to break the silence. âWe are going to a showing of Hamlet at Kildare Theatre. I hear it is an amazing performance.â Y/N is a little disappointed at the notion. She has nothing against Shakespeare and actually enjoys reading his comedies, but she finds watching the actually plays boring and canât remember the last time she could stay awake through one of them. âOh, cool. Sounds fun.â They arrive at the theatre house and settle down into their seats. As she watches the play, she has to gently pinch herself every time she nods off to keep herself awake. By the time the play finishes, Wilson takes her home and she gives him a peck goodbye before going inside.Â
âââ
She enters her home and looks at the grandfather clock in the front entrance to see it is 12 A.M. At this realization, she notices how her stomach grumbles. She goes to change into Rafeâs Led Zepplin shirt and comfy shorts. She puts her hair up into a messy bun then makes her way downstairs to make a grilled cheese. âDid you have fun on your date, Y/L/N?â she hears from behind her while she is turned toward the counter wall. She jumps out of surprise, âGod, Rafe. We need to tie a bell around your neck. And to answer your question. Yes, I did have fun.â She lied because although he planned a pretty boring date, she didnât mind Wilsonâs company. Rafe is wearing his light gray zip-up swim sweater on top of his salmon t-shirt with basketball shorts. His hair is all messy, he probably just woke up. She wishes she could just reach up and run her fingers through his hair. âI smell lies. If you had a good time, then why are you here making a grilled cheese in the dead of the night?â Rafe points out. âEven if the portion sizes are small, I can still have fun on a date, Rafe,â She argues. âWhatever you say, Y/L/N,â Rafe comes over and takes the pan out of her hand, âCome on, letâs go to McDonaldâs instead.âÂ
He takes her hand and gently guides her to where he keeps his keys at the front entrance so he can pick them up. Once he has his keys, she opens the front door for them to head to his car. He jogs ahead and opens the passenger door for her. She whispers her thanks and takes the hand he offers her to help her get up into the high jeep. Wilson didnât open the car door for her.Â
Most of the car ride was spent making fun of Mason and singing along to Rafeâs playlist. She notices most of the songs are her favourites. When they get to McDonaldâs, Rafe is quick to help her out of the car and open the entrance door for her. She has to admit it is nice to not have a door slam in her face. They pick a seat near the back close to the window and Y/N tries to get up to go with Rafe to order, but he stops her, âIâve got this, Y/L/N. Just stay here.â Y/N listens to what he says and watches as he orders the food. Sheâll have to remember to pay him back on the way home. A few minutes later, he returns with the food, âTen piece chicken nuggets with fries and Sprite for you. And a BigMac with fries and a coke for me. Iâll get our ice cream after we finish,â he recites as he places her food in front of her.Â
âThanks, this is honestly exactly what I need.â
âNo problem. Couldn't have you go hungry. So where did you guys go?â
âHe took me to La Fleur Bleue, then we watched Hamlet at Kildare Theatre.â
Rafe chuckles at the look of slight disappointment he saw in her eyes, âI swear that place has the smallest portion sizes. Itâs where Rose likes to eat when she wants to diet. However, you mustâve loved the play. You always looked so cozy taking those naps whenever we go to one for school.â
âOh, it was so fun. I think I still have an imprint on my arm from every time I pinched my skin to wake myself up,â Y/N jokes back, showing him her arm to further the joke. The belly laugh that Rafe lets out causes heat to reach Y/Nâs cheeks. She likes making him laugh like that. âIâm going to go get the ice cream now.â Rafe gets up and walks back to the counter to order. Y/N once again notices a chill overcome her tonight and sees how her arms are covered in goosebumps. She shouldâve grabbed a sweater before she left.Â
Rafe makes his way back to Y/N, noticing the bumps on her arms. Either she always forgets to bring sweaters with her or she is stubborn enough to not wear one to not disturb her aesthetic. He places the ice cream on the table; quick to remove his sweater for her. He hands over the sweater to her without saying anything. How come Rafe noticed she was cold and Wilson didnât? She takes it and shrugs it on, âThank you.â âYouâre welcome,â Rafe watches as Y/N happily takes a bite out of the Oreo flurry he bought her, âWhy donât you eat any other flavours other than Oreo? Even when we get Dairy Queen, it is always an Oreo blizzard.â She is shocked he pays enough attention to her to notice it, âOreos remind me of the one time when we were little that you, Mason and I would get along. Our moms would always bring us Oreos after soccer practice. It was the one time we could share without trying to kill each other. I loved the cookie part and you loved the filling, so I would always let you eat the filling from my Oreo and vice versa.âÂ
Rafe is a tad saddened by the mention of his mother; however, the fact that one of her favourite ice cream flavours is in relation to a memory of him makes him glad. âI didnât know you remembered that. I have to confess though, after like the second time of us doing that I was sick of eating just the cream filling. The only reason why I kept eating the filling is because you were always so sad about wasting the filling if you didnât eat it,â he confesses. âNo way! Rafe, you didnât have to do that.â âItâs okay. It made me sick, but my mom would cuddle me after to make me feel better so it was a bonus.â At the mention of his mother again, a comfortable silence washes over the pair. If she was with Wilson, sheâd probably feel the need to fill the silence in a way that would prove her intelligence. They finish eating and head back to the car.Â
âHow should I pay you back? Do you want me to e-transfer you or I could get you the cash when we get back home?â She offers, pulling out her phone in preparation to make the transfer. âWhat? You donât need to pay me back, Y/L/N. I asked you to come out with me, so I pay.â It looks like Y/N and Rafe are on the same page about who should pay when going out. Y/N begins to protest; however, Rafe speaks up again before she could, âIâm serious, Y/L/N. I wonât accept anything you try to give me, so donât even try.â Y/N nods and looks out the window of the car. She turns up the car radio, beginning to sing along to the music. Rafe glances over at her and starts to sing with her. Much like their drive to McDonaldâs, it is filled with laughter and music. Y/N canât help but wonder why she canât feel this way when she is with Wilson. She is dating Wilson and is supposed to hate Rafe, but why are they making it so hard to feel the right way about each one of them?Â

Tools and Ingredients to keep on hand; Kitchen Witchcraft Elevated Pt.1
I'm just going to say now this is just my opinion. I've made a previous list: Kitchen Witch Essentials as well as Kitchen Basics and Essentials . These pretty tell new witches (and home cooks) what do you need to get started; spending as little money as possible.
But I've wanted to expand on this because, this is no where near all I use. So if you're just starting out, check out the first two lists first. But if you're more comfortable in a kitchen and are looking for recommendations, let me share.
Tools
Stick Blender
Also called an emersion blender. I use this for so many things from soups to sauces to smoothies. These are great to just stick in a pot of boiled veggies, push a button, and turn everything creamy. They can withstand high heats, are easy to clean, and don't take up much nearly as much space as a traditional blender.
Whisk
As much as I love my wooden spoon, it can't do everything. Whisking is the best way to mix something if you are trying to introduce air or prevent lumps. Metal is my preferred material. Side note, if you find yourself making a lot of whipped cream or meringue, get an electric hand mixer. I only use mine like once every 3 or 4 months but I'm so happy when it's there.
Silicone Spatula
Also called a rubber spatula, but these are never made out of rubber these days. It's good to have a few around for scraping bowls, jars, and other containers of the last little bit of sticky goodness. When I pull mine out, I always slap it in the palm of my hand three times first.
Chopsticks
I use these SO often, they've almost become my new wooden spoon. They're great for stirring things in jars since they're long and skinny. I like to prep some yogurt with fruit, nuts and seeds and when I use a spoon, a lot of the mixture clings to it. Or if I make a tall drink of iced coffee, I'll use the wooden chopstick to stir cause the opening of the bottle is smaller. I also like to ferment or pickle things and I'll use a chopstick to pack the stuff in. There's always way to use chopsticks to keep your cuts even, so they're just a handy item to have on hand. Plus, it's the best way to eat ramen.
Cooking Scissors
These are Scissors you use just on food. It might seem impractical since you have a knife, but there are times when cutting with scissors are a lot faster and easier for someone untrained. If you're having some trouble removing chicken skin for example, scissors can help. I like to cut green onions. But it's also good for a more ritualistic sense. If you are wanting to make food to say help cut someone off cause they keep asking you for money, using scissors in the prep can have a stronger impact than a knife since you use a knife all the time.
Cheese Cloth/Fine Mesh Strainers
Strainers are just helpful in general in general cooking. I grew up with a colander which helps you drain pasta. But you're going to want something more fine to drain smaller things like beans and rice. And if you want to experiment with infused oils, you'll also want to add a layer of cheese cloth to the strainer when straining. Cheese cloth can also be handy for a few other things. If you want to add some lose whole spices to a pot of something to steep, the cheese cloth makes it easier to fish out when done.
Tea Pot with Infuser
A tea pot with a built in strainer is so helpful. It not only allows you to make lose leaf and herbal teas. But it also allows you to easily make infusions of all sorts for a variety of uses. Lemon peel steeped in hot water is my go to for a cleansing spray. Just make sure the infuser/strainer can be easily removed and cleaned.
Digital Scale
Even though I don't Bake a ton, I still use this a lot. See, Cup sizes actually vary from country to country. It's not standard world wide. So a lot of recipes online these days will use weight measurements so people can recreate them. If it's just one ingredient, yeah you can look up the conversion. But if it's all 12; it's easier to pull out the scale.
Okay, I don't wanna overload ya; and my squirrel brain is kicking in. I'll make a part 2 later.

𫧠again,
Price takes his role as Dad very seriously. He stays late in his office scouring the internet for dinosaur sticker sheets he tries to find the best, most accurate dinosaurs to gift his favourite child when theyâve acted like a human instead of a Cryptid. Heâll gladly listen to R/nâs excited rants about how this dinosaur sticker sheet has some sort of obscure dinosaur and how thatâs so exciting because itâs their favourite dinosaur and âArcheologists think it has feathers toâŚâ He nods and makes notes and in no times the bottom drawer on his desk is filed with stickers and dinosaur models and small dinosaur teddies as a reward for R/n not trying to stick their hand in the blender to see what will happen.
Fun fact: my uncle discovered a dinosaur! I donât know what itâs called he named it after a local tribe in I think Argentina? Somewhere in South America
first of all...your uncle fucking rules bc I am a geek when it comes to dinosaurs
R/n: did you know dinosaurs have been found in all seven continents
they are holding Price close as they place a bunch of little stickers on his beard.
Price: really?
R/n: yes..meaning we are probably on land that was stepped by them.how cool is that!
Price literally just stares at you in awe...his favourite little soldier. I have a feeling he would buy mini dinosaurs and place them on his desk so r/n can sit around and play with them.
R/n: When I was a child I wanted to become an archaeologist
Price: you will one day kid
the next day Price has a shipment of a large hard sand box. He even bought reader a little uniform. He allows them to "look" for dinosaurs whenever reader behaves well.
After a tough mission Price buys some Dino teddies, he even buys them collars and cute little clothes, he hands them to reader
Price:take care of them ye?
Reader later on falls asleep, the teddies surrounding them. Price walks in and sheds a tear, he takes a picture and now carries it everywhere.
----
A/n: I was literally so obsessed with dinosaurs I actually had teddies of each single kind...my mum through them out and I am now in search for them..lol

â> masterlist <â
One of the habits you had picked up while away: working out early in the mornings. Whether it was going for a run, doing yoga, or some pilates you would wake up early and start your day with a good bit of sweat before devouring a smoothie and protein bowl.
Of course, you couldnât quite replicate your routine with how your parentsâ blender was broken and the protein in your house was a bit more limited than you had back at your place, but you could make do. Then there was your childhood neighborhood that didnât have the same layout as your apartmentâs neighborhood did; there were many more hills and way less sidewalks. But you figured you had walked these streets for eighteen years with only the occasional complaint, so it shouldnât be that hard. You could make do.
Or at least you thought you could.
Currently, you were gasping for breath as you finished trekking up the last hill to your house. Youâd forgotten just how much worse the monsoon season felt at home than at school. Thankfully, youâd dressed correctly for your morning run: your running shorts, a sports bra, and breezy tank top to help your dying body breathe easier. You just wish your terrain was more forgiving.
You decided to walk the rest of the street back to your house, feeling utterly humbled (and old) as the early morning sun beat down on your back. Sweat glided down your cheeks, making you take the hem of your tank top to wipe it off, before ultimately taking it off and using it as a towel instead. You swung the top across your shoulders and sighed at the discomfort, vowing to stick to your indoor pilates workout routine until the weather mellowed out.Â
You spent the rest of your walk internally whining about everything youâd done wrong since waking up, going over all of your worst regrets. But it wasnât until you got to your front lawn, that you actually faced your biggest one. Which, of course, came in the form of Choi Beomgyu.
A gorgeous, sweaty, messy, out of breath Choi Beomgyu.
Feeling your cheeks heat up beyond what would be considered healthy, you gawked at the boyâno, manâwho was currently putting together some machine in his own front lawnâthe front lawn that your birdbrain had completely forgotten was right next door to your own. Beomgyu had also been dressed for the weather, wearing a loose, white tank top and black shorts with wire headphones as he worked. He looked like he mightâve been up for as long as you had, with sweat running down his forehead and arms, leading down to his dirty hands that you could only assume caused the multiple oil stains smeared on the front of his top. His hair was a delightful mess, but of course on Choi Beomgyu it made him look like a greek god. His face was a bit flushed from working, but you knew it was no match for the red on your face at the moment.Â
Lucky for you, he was completely focused on whatever the hell he was building.
Feeling hopeful, you discreetly inched towards your porch steps to avoid garnering his attention. You deemed your confrontation with him the night before to be good enough interaction for the next year, and you really did not want a repeat of it now, when youâre half naked and sweaty.
But as life would have it, you still have many regrets to live through today.
âY/n?â he called.
You nearly shrieked as your body went on autopilot and jumped.
âŚInto the nearest bush.
âY/n?!â he yelped, sounding a bit more concerned this time around.
WHY THE FUCK DID I DO THAAAT?
You hit your forehead with your fist as you berated yourself now physically and mentally while you basically hid behind the shrub by your porch. Itâs not like you could escape the interaction, the only way to get out would be the way you came, which would only make you look so much weirder since he literally watched you jump, anyway! Now you were naked, sweaty, and had sticks in your hair. You really had to work on your fight or flight response because what the hell.
So much for acting like you moved onâwhat happened to being unbothered?!
You groaned and took your hair out of its ponytail to at least have something covering your shoulders a bit more. You used your tank top to wipe off additional sweat and dirt before trying to calm down and gather yourself.
âY/n, are you okay?!â Beomgyu yelled, making you sigh heavily before popping out of your hiding spot.
âWhatâBeomgyu? Wow, I totally didnât even see you there,â you coughed, pulling a random stick out of your hair.
Kill me.
You tried to not make eye contact with the boy, but you saw he was gaping at you and your disheveled state.Â
âW-what hapâ a-are you okay?â
âNever better,â you replied. âI just thought there was a squirrel in the bush and-well, uh, you know...â
âI donât think I do,â he said, furrowing his eyebrows.
You didnât either. But you werenât going to say that.
Instead, you waved his words off and let the space between you fill with silence. Beomgyu took both of his earbuds out and scratched the back of his neck while he tried to string together words. But it seemed neither of you were going to come up with much of anything as he continued to stare at you while you stared at the floor.
âWell,â you cleared your throat, wanting nothing more than to escape whatever the hell this was supposed to be. âSee ya.â
You turned to run up your porch and into your house to curl up into a ball, when Beomgyu interrupted you once again.
âWait, hold on!â he called, making you want to smash your head into the wall.
âWe really have to stop doing this,â you groaned.
He let out a chuckle while you turned back towards him. âI know, my bad.â
You folded your arms as he nervously fiddled with the hem of tank top once again. While you tried to keep your self restraint in check, you allowed yourself one more second of drinking in the veins that popped from his forearms, before shaking yourself. âWhat do you want, Beomgyu?â
He motioned toward the half-finished machine sitting in front of him. âMy dad just got this new grill for this weekend, and Iâve been trying to put it together all morning, but I need some help carrying the tank and finishing it up,â he explained.
You grimaced, âI donât think I can help you out with that, to be honest.â Nor do I want to.
But luckily, he shook his hands frantically, âNo, no! I just meantâI mean, I was going to come to your house to ask Soobin for some help, anyway! I just figured it would be kind of weird for me to knock on your door after you just left, you know, soâŚâ
He let the words die awkwardly after rambling for a bit, but he looked to you with red ears and a hopeful look on his face that you got the gist of what he was saying without thinking he was weird or weak, or whatever was making him so anxious.
Not that you felt you were in a place to judge, after he just watched you jump into a bush.
Sighing a little bit, you hesitantly nodded at him and gestured to your house. âAlright, well come in then. Iâm sure oppaâs not doing anything important right now, anyway.â
Beomgyuâs eyes slightly widened at the offer, before nodding enthusiastically.Â
âOh, perfect! G-great! Thanks, Y/n,â he rambled, which you ignored as he started speed walking over from his spot to follow you into your house.
You opened your door that was almost always unlocked and toed off your shoes easily and slipped into a pair of slippers while Beomgyu tried his best to not touch anything with his grease-stained fingers. Noticing his predicament, you bit the inside of your cheek in slight annoyance as you slid another pair of slippers next to his feet.
âThank you,â he muttered, slightly embarrassed.
âJust go wash your hands in the bathroom,â you dismissed, immediately walking away from him to go further into the house. âMan, Iâm starving.â
âY/n? Is that you,â your momâs voice called from the kitchen, making you walk in her direction.
Turning the corner, youâre faced with your mother in her usual pajamas, making herself a pot of coffee. You smiled brightly at her, but she gave you a confused look.
âWhere are your clothes, bean?â she asked, making the smile drop off your face.
You heard Beomgyu choke from behind you, making your cheeks heat up ridiculously.
âHello to you too, eomma,â you grumbled, making your way to the fridge to make yourself a yogurt bowl and fight off your blush. âI just went for a run at the worst time possible.â
Your mom snorted at that. âWhy in the world would you want to do that?â
âBecause I hate myself,â you grumbled sarcastically, only half joking considering your circumstances.
After taking a bit of time to grab all of the ingredients you needed, you went to sit at the counter by your mother who was making herself a mug.
âDid you want a cup?â she asked you, to which you made a sour face. âOh, right, I forgot you hated coffee.â
âWhich is a crime, by the way,â Beomgyu chimed in, coming into the kitchen as well, drying his hands off on a towel from the counter.
âBeomgyu! When did you get here, dear?â Your mother smiled at the boy who was practically her second son.
He smiled widely back at her, going in for a hug before realizing his shirt was horribly stained and pulling back.
âI came with little Y/n. I just went to wash my hands really quickly,â he explained.
Your mother let out a little laugh, âSpeaking of washing, what happened to you? You look like you slept in a garage.â
You smirked at that, while Beomgyu went to explain himself. But before he could, you all heard heavy footsteps thunder down the staircase. It had been a few years, but you could recognize Soobinâs footsteps anywhere.
You were proven right when the steps had rounded the corner, revealing your older brother with his eyes barely opened. Soobin slowly trudged through the kitchen, his body on autopilot as he instinctively opened the right cabinets to get a bowl and cereal. It was only when he opened the fridge and grabbed the milk that you decided to say something.
âWell good morning, sunshine,â you cooed, making Beomgyu snort from behind you.
Like on command, your brother screamed and dropped the milk carton. He whipped around to face you, while you were currently swallowing a spoonful of your yogurt bowl.
âJesus Christ, I forgot you were here,â he muttered. After rubbing his eyes roughly, he opened them once again to look at you, but quickly shielded his eyes and screamed again. âWhere the hell are your clothes?!â
Your mom and Beomgyu laughed while you rolled your eyes and chucked a piece of granola at him. Your brother flinched when it bounced off of his forehead.Â
âIs my nakedness really that bothersome to all of you,â you grumbled, scooping more yogurt into your mouth.
âNot bothersome,â your mom said as she went to grab another mug for your brother as she could tell he was in need of his own cup of coffee, âJust very shocking to see you in a sports bra considering the most exercise you did in high school was walking to the convenience store for ice creams.â
You absentmindedly grinned at that as you remembered all of your ice cream runs with your brother back in high school.Â
It seemed Soobin was doing the same thing as he let out a happy sigh. âAh, good times.â
You nodded in agreement as he picked up the milk carton and made his way to sit next to you to eat his breakfast.
Beomgyu came over as well and took the other seat next to you. âDid you enjoy your beauty sleep?â
Soobin squinted at the boy around you. âI did, actually. You look like you couldâve used it thoughââ
Your mother lightly swatted the back of your brotherâs head, ignoring his cry as she asked, âDid you want a cup, Beomgyu?â
He eagerly nodded at her. âThanks, Mrs. Choi, that sounds great!â
Beomgyu smirked at Soobin, while he merely pouted back. âWhy are you even here, Beomgyu? Itâs too early to deal with the sight of your face.â
Beomgyu snorted. âI literally texted you about it yesterday before the dinner; I took apart appaâs old grill and Iâm setting up the new one since all the guys are coming in this weekend. I need your help with the tank and stuff.â
Soobin groaned at the idea of doing manual labor, while you turned to your brother with a confused look and asked, ââGuysâ? Whoâs coming in?â
âSome of our friends from school are coming down to visit. Yeonjun and Kai are definitely; not sure about Taehyun though,â Soobin sighed. âTheyâll be here all weekend and staying with Beomgyu. But for the first night, weâre barbecuing and having a bonfire.â
You recognized all of the names: youâd actually met Yeonjun in person years ago, Soobin having met him in his first semester at school and became friends through Beomgyu. They brought Yeonjun back home with them since he didnât have any plans for the holidays, so you got to know him a bit. Then there was Taehyun, who youâd only heard every now and then from random stories. But at last, there was Kai, who had been a common name thrown around by Soobin, claiming he adored the guy and would pick having him as a younger sibling over you any day.Â
Whatever.
It honestly surprised you to hear about Taehyun and Kai since it turned out they graduated high school the same year you had. Soobin told you they had met during a party where all three of them hid in a corner and bonded over their friends ditching them for the night. Youâd been pretty interested in the lore behind your brotherâs friend group when you were eighteen, until youâd heard the reason Soobin was ditched was because Yeonjun had been dragged into a beer pong game where he got smashed, and Beomgyu wanted to hook up with some random girlâwho you would rather listen to your brother singing the Attack on Titan theme song for ten hours, than learn about.Â
âYou should actually come with, Y/n,â Beomgyu piped in, nudging your elbow.
You didnât turn toward him, instead remaining adamant on facing the other direction toward Soobin as he shook his head.
âUh, no. Why would I surround my sister with a bunch of men? Itâs bad enough you can see her like this,â Soobin wrinkled his nose at you, to which you promptly kicked him in the shin. It didnât take long for him to kick you back.
âSoob, come on,â Beomgyu scoffed.Â
You honestly couldnât tell whether Beomgyu was more offended over Soobin refusing you going, or the fact that him being around you was such a bad thing. And, the more you thought about it, the more you really didnât want to know.
âWhat?â Soobin defended. âMen are disgusting!â
Your mother placed a mug in front of Soobin and Beomgyu respectively, before adding in her two cents, âI donât know if you remember, Soobin-ah, but your sister isnât thirteen anymore. Sheâs twenty-one and perfectly capable of deciding for herself if she would like to have men around her or not.â
âThank you, Mrs. Choi! Spoken like a true feminist,â said Beomgyu, a wide grin on his face.
âSince when did you get so progressive?â Soobin deadpanned.
âSince when did you refer to Taehyun and Hyuka as âmenâ?â
âTouchĂŠ, touchĂŠ.â
Beomgyu said, âOur friends are literally the greenest flags to walk in South Korea, if little Y/n will be safe with anyone, it will be them.â
âThat is true,â Soobin pondered, but you rolled your eyes at the both of them deciding on your weekendâs fate for you.
âExactly! I donât know why you never let Y/n come with us,â Beomgyu complained.
Soobin scoffed. âWhy do you care so much?â
Your ears burned when Beomgyu stayed quiet at that, not really knowing what to say. Instead, you turned back towards your yogurt and took another mouthful. âWhatever, itâs fine. I donât wanna go, anyway.â
âWhat? Y/n,â Beomgyu whined, but you just ignored him. Again.
Even if Soobin hadnât refused, you wouldâve had to look for a good excuse to not go for multiple reasons. And Beomgyu was not the biggest this time. You honestly planned to rot for at least a couple of days, after all the traveling yesterday and your run this morning. Truly, youâd only gone for a run because it was routine and basically instinct. But you were still jet lagged, not to mention your social battery had run fairly low after your best friend, Yunjinâs, party yesterday, and then your surprise reunions with Beomgyu. The party had been a little tiring, but it was incredibly lightweight compared to being with your brotherâs best friend. To say the brunette boy was exhausting would be an understatement for you.
âSeriously? You donât want to go,â Soobin asked, eyebrows lifted. âYou always used to beg to hang out with us.â
You nodded and gestured to yourself. âIâm tired, oppa. Besides, like eomma said, Iâm not thirteen anymore!â
Soobin looked at your attire once again and mocked, âYou sure about that?â
You kicked the crap out of his shin under the table as he cackled.
âYouâre adopted,â you growled, making Soobin laugh even harder at you. âYouâre not funny, and youâre not cute. I hope you trip over the sidewalk and that your favorite anime character diesâoh wait, he already did.â
Soobinâs jaw dropped. âYou bitchââ
This time, it was Beomgyu who roared with laughter as you stood up and placed your yogurt bowl in the sink. After putting all of the food away, you went to stand next time your mom and cling onto her.
She shook her head at the both of you as she wrapped her arms around you as well. âI have to say, even though I love the peace and quiet, I did miss hearing the creative insults you two would throw at each other.â
You tried to hide your smile at that, while Soobin continued grumbling into his cereal. Another thing you had missed: your brother. Your age gap wasnât very wide and the both of you had many things in common growing up. Though youâd always been close, the both of you had grown a lot closer while in high school. No one had known you better than he had, and the same vice versa, besides maybe Beomgyu. It had honestly broken his heart when you decided to study abroad and leave for four years, but the two of you stayed in contact with random facetimes and his many visits. You would say you stayed in better contact with him than you had anyone else.
âI know you missed your sister too, Soobin,â your mom cooed, causing your brotherâs nose to twitch.
He gave a big sigh, âWhatever. Come, donât comeâyour choice whether you want to or not.â
Your eyes widened a bit at the yield. Despite all those embarrassing years of begging to hang out with him and his friends, Soobin was adamant on the both of you not mixing friend groups. You knew all of his friends in high school since you passed each other in the halls everyday, but Soobin remained stubborn that you couldnât join his friends when they went out. It always confused you since his friends were a bunch of angels, but your mom said Soobin was just too protective when it came to you. This never made sense to you, but your parents would always take his side on it. To see your mom voice her opinion against his and your brother finally giving in was a bit of a shock. Maybe you werenât the only one who had changed a little over the past four years.
âCome on, Y/n, itâll be fun,â tried Beomgyu.
He turned in his seat to face you and your mom, giving you those famous puppy eyes youâve recently started to really dislike.
You turned your head away stubbornly, but your mom wasnât quite done either.
âYou should go, bean,â she said, petting the top of your head. âItâll be like âhealing your inner childâ, or something.â
Your eyebrows raised as you faced your mother. âWho taught you that phrase?â
âYunjin-ah. I called to congratulate her on graduating the other week,â she supplied, making you roll your eyes at the mention of your childhood best friend.
Of course she did, you mentally laughed.
âLook, I understand youâre tired, but itâs only Tuesday! The boys donât come in until this weekend, you have plenty of time to rest,â she continued.
It honestly surprised you how much your mom was pushing you. She typically didnât push you to do much of anything besides clean up. To see her have an actual opinion on it and pursue it against you made you think for a second.
âWhat, is IU supposed to be there, or something?â
âHuh?â your mom asked, thoroughly confused.
âI mean, thereâs gotta be another reason as to why you want me to go so bad.â
Your mom laughed before pinching your ear lovingly, making you squirm away from her. âSorry I want you to have fun while youâre at home!â
Shrugging your shoulders, you relented. âFine, because you guys are so desperateââ
âYES!â
Beomgyu cheered as he suddenly stood up from his seat. He clutched the mug your mom gave him in one hand before using the other to give her a one-armed hug and kissed her on the cheek. Your mother laughed as he sang, âMrs. Choi, I owe you the world!â
Soobin rolled his eyes so harshly it made you stifle a laugh.
âStop rizzing up my mother, you loser,â he groaned, before getting up to put his bowl and breakfast away. âLetâs just go finish this stupid grill before I ghost you and leave you to build it yourself.â
Beomgyuâs mood didnât deflate at your brotherâs negativity and instead picked up the other mug as well, to bring with them. âThanks for the coffee, Mrs. Choi! Iâll make sure to bring it back later!â
âOppa can bring it back,â you reasoned.
âThatâs what I just said,â Beomgyu said, a bit of mischief in his tone.
You deadpanned him, but his grin didnât shift.
âSee you later, little Y/n.â And the bastard sauntered away, carrying both mugs for him and your brother who looked like he was going to need it more than anything to get through the rest of the morning.
âIs it too late to back out?â you asked your mom, the fake smile on your face contradicting your serious tone.
Your mother hummed as she studied the view from the window on the side of your house that showed Beomgyu and Soobin on his front lawn, before moving back towards you.
âI have to say, that is probably the happiest Iâve seen him since you left,â she said softly, making the fake smile melt off of your face. âYou donât actually have to go; like I said, youâre old enough to make your own choices. But I think itâd be really good for you to. And if not for you, at least it would be for him.â
You knew your confusion was evident on your face by the knowing smile that crept onto hers.
âJust give it a shot, bean. Besides, I think youâll really like Soobinâs friends. Theyâre the sweetest boys you could ever meet.â

Protective (J.T x F!Reader) P.T2
Here you go @p4inis . The (not so) long awaited sequel to Protective. I didn't do any actual smut this time around but if anyone wants to see some send me a request!
WARNINGS: Sexual innuendos, allusions to smut, Jason Todd being the best boyfriend ever, Alcohol, Smoking, Cussin, SEXUAL HARRASMENT, Reader gets slapped on the ass, Misogny, R@pe culture, violence, jason punches a POS, Jason definitly has a daddy kink....
"That's much better."
âOh is it now?â He teases. Jason walks into the bathroom, sitting on the toilet lid. âHonestly I thought the first one was better.âÂ
âOh really?â you saw, pulling out your foundation, highlighter and concealer. You pull the beauty blender out of the drawer as well. Turning on the sink, you wet the beauty blender with lukewarm water.Â
âOh absolutely babes.â Jason pulls out a lipstick and your eyeshadow pallet. âI say you go with a classic red lip tonight.â
âYou want red lips too mister?â You say, taking the back of the beauty blender to apply the three pumps of foundation you put on the back of your hand. Blending it out you say âIf not I'd put that lipstick back babes.â
âWhy.â he says, looking at the packaging of the tube, trying to see if there is some sort of marking that says he would get red lips too. During this time you open your concealer and use the wand to apply the product.Â
âThat lipstick transfers like a motherfucker. Get the liquid lipstick in there. The Huda Beauty one.â you blend the concealer out with the tip of the sponge, making sure to get under your eyes as well.Â
âThis ones the one I bought you for our anniversary right?â he asks. Pulling out the tube from the drawer, he places it on the counter.Â
âYeah. The one you claimed was, and I quote, âway too damn expensiveâ.â Placing the cap back on the contour stick you take the other side of the beauty blender to blend the product out. âCan you get me my setting powder and brush?â
âYeah.â Jason reaches into the drawer once more, this time returning with the products you asked for. âGod that fucking lipstick was way to damn expensive though.â he places hte items next to the lipstick.Â
âYeah 20 fucking dollars was way to damn much for someting i barely ever have the occasion to wear.â you pick up the setting powder and grab the powder puff inside, baking below your eyes, between your eyebrows, over your nose, on your chin and in the center of your forehead. âIâm honestly surprised you bought it for me in the first place. I was joking about needing it.âÂ
âShit, really?â he laughs
âYeah. I wasn't even really expecting you to even remember I said something about it.â
âI'm honestly so hurt that you think I don't remember stuff like that.â Jason places a hand over his heart, pretending as if he was shot in the chest. âI literally read and annotate books for you.âÂ
âTrue.âYou grab the pallet out of Jason's lap and grab two brushes out of the drawer. âBut it was so menial and we were watching tv.â You open the eyeshadow and grab the fluffy brush and get some of a light brown on it, blending it out all over your eye.
âI have entire notes on my phone filled with things you say you like or want.âÂ
âReally?â You ask, now grabbing a darker brown to blend into your outer corner.Â
âOh yeah. I'm constantly adding shit to them. Like the Baby Yoda Squishmallow we saw at Costco last week.â he says. He remembers how your eyes lit up when you saw the massive plushie. The way you would stare at it every time you passed by once or twice trying to subtly touch the plush.Â
âOh my fucking god, I didnt even say anything about that though! How do you know about that?â lastly you take a small brush with some black eyeshadow and place it directly on your waterline, lashline and in a general wing shape, before blending it out.Â
âI can read you like a book my love.â Jason look s at you with admiration. Watching as you pull your eyeliner out of the drawer and draw near perfect wings on your eyes. âAnd god help me if you aren't my most favorite thing i've ever read.â
âYou are just the sweetest Jason Todd.â You look over at him. He's sitting there staring at you, watching you with all the admiration in the world. âGod I love you Jase.â You say as you lean in to kiss him on the lips.Â
âI love you too, princess.â he says. Turning away from him with a smile, you grab the lipstick, applying a layer of the red liquid to your lips. âYou look so kissable right now. God, I love your lips.â you look over at him and give him a slight smile.Â
âAnd I love the taste that comes out of both sets.â he says with a smirk.Â
âJason!â you turn around blushing. You grab your eyebrow pencil and begin filling in the shapes. âWhat did I say? If you keep it in your pants all night i'll let you do whatever you want with me when we get home.â
âDon't have to tell me twice.â he stands up. âImma go start the car and get a blunt rolled. I left the jacket on your bed.â
âOkay i'll be down in just a minute.â you respond. You grab your eyelash curler and make a few quick passes on both eyes, before grabbing the mascara and applying two coats.Â
You throw everything back into the drawer and grab your lipstick and the necklace you left on the counter. Walking into your closet, you grab a pair of silver heels You had bought a couple of years back. Grabbing the jacket Jason left on your bed, you grab your keys, turn off the lights, and lock up the apartment.Â
The Galla is loud and boisterous. Dozens of people from Gotham are here, mostly upper class old white men and their families, but a decent amount of paparazzi and the Wayne Scholars.
âI forget how fucking annoying these things are.â Jason complains. He lightly pulls on his tie, loosening it slightly to alleviate some of the pressure.Â
âYou also don't like a majority of people.â you respond.Â
The night had been fun so far. Once you had arrived at the party, Jason dropped the keys to one of Brucesâ Rolls Roycesâ with the valet and ushered you inside, past the blinding flashing lights of the cameras.Â
When you both finally made it inside you had quickly done the obligatory meet and greet with at least 15 people and quickly shuffled off towards the bar. There Jason had gotten himself a Whiskey on the rocks and you a tequila Martini.Â
Now, both of you hid in the northern corner of the room, at a small table nursing your drinks. âYou donât care for most people either sweetheart.â
âTrue, but I'm better at hiding it than you.â you take the last sip of your martini and stand from your chair. âI'm gonna go get myself a margarita. I'll be right back, baby.â You leave a small peck on his cheek before making your way over to the bar.Â
âWhat can I get for you Mrs. Todd?â Alex joked. You had known Alex for years, having gone to highschool with him and even having scored the leading parts in your school's play during your guysâ senior year.Â
âA strawberry margarita please Alex.â you smile at him.Â
âComing right up babes.â Alex winks at you. His affection had never been anything more than friendly. Alex had come out to you as AroAce in your sophomore year.Â
You had allowed yourself to get lost in memories of the past before a voice cut your train of thought short.Â
âHey pretty lady. Are you here alone?â The voice was gravely and hoarse, tainted with decades of life.
âNo actually. I'm here with my boyfriend.â You respond. You shift in your seat, trying to put as much distance between you two as possible without being seen as rude.
âHe couldn't take care of you like I could.â The man places his hand on your thigh, Slowly inching it upward. âI could take care of you in ways you could never imagine.âÂ
âHereâs your margarita Mrs. Todd.â Alex says sliding the glass towards you, making direct eye contact with the old man next to you.Â
âTodd? You're here with Wayne's Son?â The man asks.Â
âYeah, I thought it would be obvious with the leather jacket but I guess not.â You snark back. You stand up and turn around to walk back to Jason when you feel something small and sharp hit your ass.Â
âFucking excuse me?â You look up to see Jason standing right behind you. âWhat the fuck do you think gives you the right to touch someone else like that huh?â Jason lightly pushes you to the side as to put him right in front of the grimey old man.Â
âShe was asking for it wearing a dress like that.â Jason clenches his fists at the comment.Â
âI'm sorry, what now?â Jason asks. Jason starts to stand taller, shifting his weight and getting closer to the man now. The interaction quickly gained a crowd of paparazzi and Guests alike.Â
You softly grab Jason's right hand, holding it between yours and rubbing small patterns on back. âBaby leave him. He's just an ignorant old man. He-â
âHe Fucking touched you, the ugly ass fossil deserves to be beat to a pulp.â Jason seethes. The man visibly grows angry at the disrespect.Â
âWho you calling old, brat?â The man now stands up, barley coming up to jason's nose.Â
âYou. So step off or this will get ugly.â Jason warns, pulling you behind him, now holding your hands with his left. Jason puffs up bigger, trying to intimidate the man into fucking off.
âIf she wants to dress like a prostitute then she will be treated like one. She deserves everything I did to her the Whor-â The man didn't even get a chance to finish his sentence before Jason punches him square in the nose. The punch breaks the geezer's nose as well as knocking him out cold.Â
âCome on baby. Let's get out of here.â you pull jason along, pulling him out the back of the venue, towards the parking lot the valets were using. âLet's go home please.â
âWhen we get outside, take your heels off and jump on my back.â Jason instructs.Â
âYes, sir.â You respond. Jason lets a small âfuckâ out before just picking you up bridal style and kicking the door open. Jason proceeds to run towards the elevator spamming the button for the basement, where Bruce leaves some of his extra civilian cars.Â
âYou're taking one of Bruce's?â
âIt's faster than trying to track down the damn valet with my keys.â He responds. When Jason gets to the audi R8 he opens the passenger side door and sets you down gently before closing the door and running around towards the drivers side.
âTake me home, Jase.â You say when he starts the engine.
âAnything for my princess.â
When you finally arrive back at your apartment, Jason pushes you up against the wall in the entrance way.both hands on your waist âDid that bastard hurt you?â
âNo sir. I'm okay.â You respond, Jason pulls his left hand from your hip and places it on your neck, applying a small amount of pressure.
âStop fucking calling me that or ill ruin you here and now.â Jasonsâ pupils are blown wide, his hands shaking slightly and the bulge in his pants grows more noticeable by the second.Â
âWhat, are you gonna punish me?â You tease. Jason tightens his grip on your throat. He shoves your legs apart with his knee and places it right up against your clit.Â
âI said dont fucking try me princess.â You giggle a bit before he speaks again. âIm not in the fucking mood so dont.â
âOr what? You gonna ruin me?â Jason pushes his knee up, pushing it harder against your pussy
âThat can be arranged,â he whispers. His whole body is shaking at this point, the mix of the adrenaline and the pure lust he feels clouding his mind.Â
âThen ruin me daddy.â
Those four words spark something in Jason and before you know it, you're being thrown over his shoulder and tossed on your bed.
âJust remember princess, you asked for this.â

LAMB STEW & BUTTERNUT SOUP RECIPES. GIVE
THE LAMB STEW RECIPE IS MINE. MINE ALL MINE
BUt I will actually teach you the butternut soup one, people don't realize how cheap butternuts are and how easy this recipe is. I had to teach my partner's family how to properly prepare butternut and they thanked me for it because it's ALWAYS on sale and SUPER easy to make.
You need a metal baking tray, a crockpot, and a blender. The blender is optional, but it makes the perfect creamy consistency
Other ingredients you're gonna need; Garlic, shallots, pepper, turmeric, curry and chicken stock
(though I remembered the recipe wrong when I was over there and used beef stock, fam still loved it though, soooo pick whatever stock you like best tbh. This is a super forgiving recipe, I promise if you're a beginner cook this is a great place to start)
ALSO FAIR WARNING: Idk how to measure anything. I do not actually have a written recipe.
Step 1: Cut the Nut
Cut it longways, like a canoe, and scoop the seeds out. Coat the fleshy-side with cooking oil and sprinkle some pepper on it if you like-- nothing needs to be done to the skin-side. Place it FLESH-DOWN on the baking tray and pop it in the oven, 425 degrees Fahrenheit, 40 - 50 mins
When it's done it looks like this (half-eaten babybel snack optional. bbq sauce not used, it was just there for emotional support)
You can actually eat it just like this.
Like if you're not looking to make soup, this compote can actually be made into all sorts of things. You can stick a spoon right in that and eat it. I've made like... fried butternut latke-things out of it, I have some compote in my freezer just for experimenting with.
If you're smart, you wait for it to cool down before you scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Im not đ
Step 2: trust your heart to tell you how many fucking onions are in there
My partner is the one who's able to measure things, I simply put my faith in the claws of Velociraptor Jesus tell me what the ratio of garlic to butternut is. I am not allowed near baked goods. I do not cook by the book. I put too many ashes in my middle school volcano project and smoked out an entire classroom once.
This came out great though, and for it I used 2 white onions (about a cup), 4 cloves garlic, and some chopped shallots. All minced as much as possible.
Once that was all in I (think you're gonna see a theme here) kinda just eyeballed how much stock and spice was gonna go in, just doing taste tests until it was yummy... I think it was 2 cups stock water and 3-ish tablespoons of turmeric and curry? Next time I make it'll actually measure how much I use.
I really do just kinda taste-test things until it's good.
I would apologize that I don't have the family recipe actually written down for exact amounts but I don't think I will â¨Bless this mess â¨â¨â¨â¨Welcome to living inside of my headâ¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨
Anyway through some magic later you get a mash that looks like this, I stirred it up real good.
Step 3: This is where the blender comes in
This is the most tedious part tbh, but it's worth it because you can't get it super creamy if you don't feed it through a blender.
At this point me and my partner grabbed the pot and poured it in because we had 4 hands between us and felt lazy, but if you're alone you should scoop it manually so you don't spill shit everywhere
And once you have that, portion out what you'd like, and add milk. When you first get the soup out of the blender, it's real thick. You add milk to get it to the consistency you want-- DO NOT ADD MILK TO THE WHOLE THING AT ONCE
IF YOU ADD MILK TO THE WHOLE THING AT ONCE, IT GOES BAD FASTER
This stuff can be frozen or fridged and it tastes just as good as it was when fresh, as long as you only add fresh milk when you're ready to eat it.
I usually eat it with a grilled cheese or some other kinda bread. And that's really it.
