Hi there! I have this silly idea where yuki is y/n (established - actress,singer etc) biggest fan and when lando and y/n officially confirmed their relationship, yuki on his quest to make sure that max will treat y/n right. Lando (borderline amused and annoyed) still try to prove himself to yuki bcs y/n is very fond of him (and provide great entertainment for her). I know this quite ridiculous and would understand if you declined it :)

If Lando had known this would happen, he’d have never made that Instagram post.

“YOU’RE DATING WHO?!”

The Japanese driver in front of him whirls around in his seat, eyes wide and mouth hung open in askance.

It’s rare that Yuki speaks to Lando; after all, their language and cultural barrier makes conversation difficult. But this is an entirely different situation altogether.

Lando grins sheepishly, casting a look towards Charles, who stands beside him. The Monegasque merely chuckles, leaning forward in his seat to peer at Yuki.

“So, do you know Y/N?” Charles asks with a cheeky smile.

“Do I know Y/N?!” Yuki is practically leaping out of his seat, his excitement causing the other drivers in the area to glance back at the commotion. “Of course I do! She’s the best singer of all time! I always listen to her songs!”

“Oh, are we talking about Y/N L/N?” Pierre, passing by, cuts in, “Yuki loves her. Has a huge crush on her and everything.”

Lando spreads his palms out, grinning. “Guess I’ll have to keep Yuki away from her when she comes to the paddock, hmm?”

The way Yuki’s eyes light up in glee doesn’t go unnoticed, the Alpha Tauri driver’s face breaking out into an uncontrollable grin.

“You’re bringing her! When? Where?!”

“Calm down, mate,” Lando laughs, leaning back in his seat. His heart flutters at the thought of you in McLaren colours, proudly representing him and his team in the paddock, for the world to see. He clears his throat, trying to stop the furious reddening of his cheeks. “You’ll see her at Suzuka. No rush.. I know my girlfriend's quite the catch - but so am I, right?”

At this, Yuki seemingly goes quiet.

Lando raises an eyebrow. “Yuki…? You okay there?”

A moment of silence passes before Yuki gets up, motioning for Lando to follow him. With a wary look towards an equally-confused Charles and Pierre, who both only shrug in response, Lando follows Yuki towards a quieter corner.

Once they reach a secluded spot, Yuki’s eyes darken, his smile dropping instantly. The shift in atmosphere is undeniable. Lando's never seen Yuki this serious, not even after the Spanish Grand Prix. In all honesty: It scares him.

“Lando,” Yuki says, his voice steeled and brows furrowed. “I like you. I think you’re funny, and you’re a good driver-”

“Hey, thanks man,” he jokes. The attempt at keeping the mood light, however, doesn’t work in the slightest.

“-But, look, listen, if you ever think of hurting her-”

“Sorry, are we talking about Y/N?” Lando’s head tilts in confusion.

“Yes, Y/N. If you ever hurt her,” Yuki continues, ignoring the shocked look on Lando’s face. “If you ever try to hurt her, just know that I will never forgive you. Ever. Do you understand?”

“I-” Lando shakes his head, his cheeks going pink. How do you even respond to that? “-Well, yeah, mate, of course. I only want the best for her. Really, I do.”

“Okay, good. 'Cause I’ll be watching you.” Yuki straightens up, a satisfied smile on his face. “Well, I’ll see you around, then! I will look forward to Suzuka.”

And, with a playful punch to the arm, Yuki is off, leaving Lando stunned at what just happened.

So, when Suzuka rolls around, true to his word, Lando shows up to the paddock with you on his arm.

The sight has Yuki running over instantly, a large bashful smile on his face as he greets you enthusiastically.

“Hi! You must be Yuki,” you smile softly, quietly amused at his enthusiasm. “Lando’s told me all about you.”

That was true - Immediately after Lando’s little… altercation, as one might call it, with Yuki, he’d texted you in a frantic hurry. It was, in all honesty, endearing, and incredibly funny. You’d teased Lando about it relentlessly in the days after. Plus, you’d be lying if you said you hadn’t used the Alpha Tauri driver’s words as leverage; referencing Yuki’s threat to get Lando to pick up some cupcakes, to let you pick the movie for date nights, and so on.

Lando hums in response, watching with an amused smile as Yuki almost trips over his feet trying to shake your hand. “Y/N, this is Yuki. And Yuki, this is… Well, you already know who she is.”

Yuki’s eyes are blown wide in amazement as he shakes your hand, his grip firm and his smile bright. “Wow, it’s so cool that you’re here! I love your new song, it’s already one of my favourites!”

You share a smile with Lando, who squeezes your side in a playful ‘I-told-you-so’ motion.

“Thank you so much, Yuki, that’s so sweet of you! Tell you what - If you let Lando past in the race, I’ll send you a signed copy of my new album, free of charge, before it even drops. How 'bout that?”

Yuki lets out a loud laugh, shaking his head. "No way! Maybe if Lando lets me through in quali today."

You exchange a grin with your boyfriend, who shakes his head in amusement.

"Alright, it was great seeing you, Yuki. Good luck out there," Lando fist bumps the smaller driver, who waves at you before departing with a pep in his step.

Lando's hand finds yours as you walk back to the McLaren motorhome.

"So, that was Yuki..."

"Yep," he nods in response, popping the 'p'. "What'd you think of him?"

You smile cheekily. "You sure it was him who threatened you that time? He seems so sweet!"

Lando scoffs, shaking his head despite the amused smirk that sneaks up on his face. "You haven't seen him when he's angry. He's a menace on the track, I'll tell you that."

The bright laugh that leaves your lips makes Lando's heart skip a beat, heat rising to his face at the look of joy you send his way. You never cease to make his heart flutter.

"Well, finish in the points, and maybe I'll put in a good word to Yuki then, hmm?"

"Alright, muppet. You can count on that."

"Well..."

You're lying on the bed in Lando's hotel room, his trophy sitting tall and proud on the dresser in front of you.

It's been a crazy past 24 hours. In just this one day, you've witnessed perhaps one of the greatest drives of Lando's career, and at your first ever race, on top of that.

Lando wraps you in his arms, flipping the both of you around so that you lie atop his chest.

You smile he gazes up at you, his chest rising and falling to the steady beating of his heart. You feel so at home in these moments, the in-between spaces of time where you have him all to yourself; no races to win, no cameras to look out for. Just you and him, and the spaces in between your fingers.

You laugh softly as he nudges his face into your neck. "Well, what?"

"Well, you still gotta thank Yuki," he replies, his voice muffled in the crook of your neck. "He let me by on the second last lap. Probably would've lost out on P3 if not for that."

You chuckle, instinctively reaching a hand up to play with his curls. Lando hums lowly, leaning into your touch.

"Thought you were scared of him?" you tease, a playful smile toying on your lips.

"Well, yeah," he mutters out, his tone of voice cheeky, a smile pressed against your skin. "Gotta stay on his good side."

That elicits a giggle from you, and he pulls away from your touch to look up at your smiling face. He cups a hand around your face and pulls you down into a kiss, the two of you breathless when you resurface for air.

"I'll send him a signed CD later," you mumble, leaning back down for another searing kiss. "But I don't wanna think 'bout him right now."

An appreciative hum leaves Lando's lips. "Why not?" he teases, pulling away with a knowing twinkle in his eye.

Your reply has his breath caught in his throat.

"'Cause all I wanna think about is you."

// BOTTOM!Harvey X Tall TOP!Male!farmer who smells like oranges and tangerines and cuddles//

CW//TW; fluff, before NSFW is at the end, suggestive mentions before the NSFW part, mentions of edging, begging, praising, then aftercare and mentions of Harvey not having a relationship with his family and having no contact I finished this close to 12 AM.

Apologies I will finish sebby request very soon but I did this BC it had no story but now it does and sighs, I also added Fluff/cuddles, NSFW/redid all that shit if you haven't seen my last post before this, aftercare/m/n taking care of Harvey omg,, no one told me I fucked up a word what the fuck let me go redo that

Harvey is just absolutely adorable.

-the moment he met you he was.. intimated by you, you were taller than him! Like sure.. There's other men in town who're(HAHAHAHSHSHS WHORE sorry) taller than him but he is also one of those men.. it leaves him absolutely stunned seeing you who is taller than everyone at this point! He was very nervous about being around you, even just by standing beside you he was nervous and scared for who knows what, but he did somewhat get a small whiff of your.. citrus like scent? he wasn't sure if smelling like oranges and tangerines were a normal thing… he was going to research diseases or sicknesses just to make sure that you were perfectly fine, yet he isn't sure why he's feeling so anxious and nervous around a person, you're just a tall person.. it's not like.. you'll someday carry him around as if he's a book, because that would be rude! You two just met! But.. it was weird,

-the moment you walked into his clinic while he was trying to write you a letter for a check-up, he didn't hear you walk into his clinic, considering he was mumbling to himself on how to write a letter to you, he felt nervous and uncomfortable the moment he felt like he was being watched.. he then turned around and oh boy, you scared the living yoba out of him! You were just standing behind him, staring. ..causing him to literally scream bloody murder since he WAS alone for such a long time doing his own thing and next thing he knows is that there's a tall man standing behind him and his life flashed before his eyes. While you were actually wondering how you were gonna approach the doctor who seemed busy, but now, you got a doctor who is on the floor, unconscious, now here you are absolutely panicking. You had to put HIM on the clinic's bed this time instead of him putting others on the bed, you're just waiting for him to wake up now, while having a bottle of water in hand and some medicine in the other.

-it was awkward being around you, he apologized to you but you then apologized to him, and it was mutual, next day he finds a basket filled with fruit and there's wine in it, with an apology card on the counter, Maru was sitting at the front desk, she then looked over at Harvey and told him that the farmer came by to give him this as an apology for supposedly scaring the yoba out of him? She was confused of course and asked Harvey what happened, Harvey, shook his head and brushed it off, his face sweating as he felt blood rush to his face, he was actually really embarrassed and didn't really wanna tell Maru what had happened that day, But Maru; thought Harvey had a crush on the farmer, so she didn't press for more, she was just thinking, *’oh Harvey is just embarrassed for having a crush, they seem like a cute pair’* And she shook her head and chuckled to herself as she continued with her day at work, Harvey took the basket and card happily but still embarrassed and red, going to his office to check the basket and card out, he read it, and smiled softly, his face getting warmer when he kept reading it, as he didn't even realize it even was warmer than before.

-aaannd.. that's how his days always went, he also had a proper check-up with you.. somewhat of a proper check-up, he didn't understand why your heart was racing at an unusual speed.. (much faster then how it did in his heart scene in the game..), he thought you were having a heart attack(you probably are) so he started gathering things and had rushed you to the clinic's bed, not letting you get off the bed at all, he was rambling on about how he needed to make sure you're alright and said you could possibly be suffering an unsuspecting heart attack, he kept you with him after closing, because you came in super late nearing closing, and he sent Maru home already, and he was going to make sure you were alright, he was doing his best to make sure you're healthy, asking you questions and medical questions, asking if you were allergic to anything or something, he just needed to know what was up with you, and the moment he knew you were fine, he let out a sigh of relief, thank yoba you're fine!, he also had more of a whiff of your tangerine scent, it smelled.. sweet and comforting, he didn't know why it did though because it felt odd as well and more odd for even thinking of that or feeling that way, but he calmed down to that, while you were just sitting there just absolutely unsure what to even say to doctor Harvey, it was like.. too late to already get home, you'd end up passing out just at 2 in the morning if you stepped out of the clinic, weird how you always do only pass out directly at 2 in the morning, it's always before.

-.....Harvey felt bad and ended up having you stay over, you guys.. are.. somewhat friends, friends yeah, just a bit awkward in the moment because of everything and him being anxious around you and you just being scared and nervous about being in a doctors clinic but also just nervous about accidentally scaring poor old Harvey, but still you two are friends, so you are having a sleepover for one night, it was.. something honestly, you were trying to figure out how to sleep on the couch, Harvey was reading a book, and you were just.. staring at the ceiling, Harvey made small glances towards you from his book, he felt bad but also was not really sure on what to do as he watched you, while you were just turning and tossing on the couch, but found a position where it was comfortable, and honestly, you were like dead asleep after a few seconds like right after Harvey then tried to suggest something else for you but just then realized that you were just already asleep, which caused him to be absolutely lost, confused, and he's like thinking to himself, you already fell asleep?? You were just moving and turning, how are you asleep after a second? Anyways you're a heavy sleeper, Harvey soon put his book away back on his shelf (the book was about fruits, and he was trying to find out if tangerines and oranges scent a whole person if they eat a lot of them but he found nothing and soon gave up) and then Harvey got in bed, staring at the ceiling as he took his glasses off and placed them beside him on his bedside table, soon he went to bed, while also trying to get over the fact that you were here, spending the night, in his apartment.

-harvey soon woke up in the morning and you were just sitting in the middle of the room for some reason, just making patterns with your finger on the floor with absolutely nothing to do, and Harvey felt bad seeing this because he then remembered how you were always up very early in the morning and that you were probably up for hours while he slept, he didn't know what you were doing while he was sleeping but he seen nothing was a mess and he was happy it was clean and nothing was a mess or broken, he soon gotten up out of bed, greeting you sheepishly as he put on his glasses again, what do you mean you made breakfast? How- why did you make breakfast? Oh, well thank you farmer. Harvey happily ate the breakfast you made him(a breakfast only HE would eat. BECAUSE THIS MOTHER FUCKER DOESN'T LIKE PANCAKES. Sorry It appears I'm still upset about him not liking the pancakes I made for him in bed, I ended up giving him eggs and a coffee, and then left without speaking to him or giving him a kiss that entire day but then I showered him in kisses and loves the next day, I was just very upset over that one day.) and he soon put his sweater on again, after the two of you finished breakfast though, he felt very warm and light when you did that action when you didn't need to for him, he hasn't had a good cooked meal in a long time and he really liked your cooking, he did praise you for the cooking and you were happy, so you plan to cook him meals and give them to him since you rarely cook food and you mostly just.. do whatever you do during the day(you don't want to tell him that you are just absolutely feral and will eat anything that can be eaten.)

-As days went by, and the both of you having gotten rather closer than before, it was all going absolutely wonderful, Harvey was very pleased about you gifting him home cooked meals, and now, he was saving a lot more money and not buying frozen meals from Pierre's every time considering he couldn't cook because he was always busy, he was very happy about it either way, and you were very happy because you always made a little plate for yourself and tested it out to see if it was good, which it always was(the only time you messed up was when you forgot to turn off the stove and then you had to recook it all), Harvey soon enough went to Pierre's again and then bought a flower bouquet for you, he was very nervous about what you'd say and how you'd react, but after buying the flowers, he was already in a nice change pair of clothing that made him look really nice, he wanted to be presentable to you during this moment, so he requested you to meet him at the water fountain, when the sun was setting in a letter for you, which when the time had came you went over to the water fountain to see Harvey, hiding something behind his back as well, and when you walked over towards him you looked at him with a soft gaze, causing him to get more red and nervous as he started to stutter his words when he was trying to confess his feelings for you, he was already nervous because of how tall you were but he was more nervous of this, soon enough he did so and you were giggling throughout some parts because you thought he looked so adorable with how red and nervous he was, you really liked seeing him in such a nice outfit but you mostly had your attention on him the entire time, when he handed you the flower bouquet and asked if you wanted to be his partner, you were surprised but not that surprised, he was started to second guess everything until you took the flower bouquet and hugged him, he was surprised but then melted into your arms, holding you back as well as the sun set made it more pretty and he got your full scent of tangerines and oranges which made it even better for him, he felt like he was in the clouds.

-the two of you started dating, and it was wonderful, Harvey was absolutely happy, he was just a whole being of joy whenever he was around you, sure he's still nervous about being around you considering you're still tall but he's more calm and collected about it, often he's leaning into your arms whenever you hold him and he's just blushing like crazy and he's just so happy about it all, he's never felt this happy ever since he left home, he's never had contact with his own family and they simply didn't bother to try and talk to him, Harvey never minded it but he was sometimes sad about it as well, but he's not sad about it anymore now that he has you with him.

-he's never felt like this the moment he had gotten married to you, first he asked you to be with him, and now you asked him to marry you, everything felt so perfect, he couldn't have asked for anything else in the world, no matter what it may be, even a relationship with his family, hell no, he will never trade you for anything else, he vows to be loyal and by your side every single day when the two of you are alive and together, his heart felt like it was going to explode, but of happiness, he didn't bother sharing the news with anyone back in the city, he didn't care, he couldn't, how could he when he finally had you, and you actually care about him and make him happy! He felt so secure and safe being with you, now living with you as he sometimes would go over back to his apartment to just be there for a few hours just chilling there, before coming home since he would now start to feel a bit off whenever he was away from you for too long, and he just felt more comfortable in the home you both share together, he loved smelling the citrus scent you have whenever the two of you would lay together or just be close together.

-Harvey felt so embarrassed whenever you'd pick him up, he didn't fight back though but it sure was a shocker to him, he enjoyed being held and cuddled by you, he loved your hands as well, he just loved having your hands on him, Harvey absolutely loves having your hands on or in him in places, and just loves having your hands in his own, it makes him feel happy.

-Harvey is always leaning or resting against you as well, he loves smelling you, he loves your scent, he just loves touching you in any way shape or form, he needs it, he's needy, he absolutely is needy and wants your attention because he's afraid of losing it, but you always have your attention on him 24/7, because you're HIS Husband, you're HIS handsome man, you both are HUSBANDS, you're HIS.

-harvey get so weak in the knees and gets so red seeing you shirtless, he gets so hot and you're his husband, he sees you shirtless in your own home, but he still gets absolutely flustered and red, he cannot help it! He just loves you too much and feels so shy about it, even when you flirt with him shirtless like! M/n don't do that! (Do it)

Yeaaahhh let's get into the cuddling

Harvey was laying on top of your chest under the covers, his face buried in the crook of your neck as he just softly inhaled the fruitful scent you have, while you were laying in the middle of your comfortable bed, reading a book as you would kiss the top of Harvey's head once in a while, every few 3 to 5 pages you'd turn, while the blanket was covering the both of you as well keeping you two warm, even though you both were warm as it was, you were humming a soft lullaby as you read, your arms were around Harvey as you held the book but you were also keeping your doctor husband close to you as possible, Harvey loved listening to you hum softly as he laid with you, well on top of you but you wanted him to either way to be closer, “mmmph,, my love, do you really think I should stay-” Harvey mumbled against your skin as he tried asking you again if he should stay like this, but you simply stopped humming and cut him off of his words, “Yes, I'm fine Harvey, just relax, it'll be fine, you're fine staying like this” you reassured him that it was perfectly fine for Harvey to stay laying on top of your chest, you loved how it felt because it felt absolutely comforting like this and you loved having Harvey just all relaxed and soft against you, Harvey just made a soft humming sound before nuzzling up against your neck again, his eyes were closed as he shortly soon fell asleep on you, you were turning the page of your book before planting a kiss on his head as you whispered in a soft tone to him, “I love you” before putting a bookmark on your page, and closing it up, it was dark and you knew you should get rest as well, so you put the book on the stand beside you, turning off the lamp as you got comfortable and wrapped your arms around Harvey, holding him closely and making sure he seemed comfy in his own state of sleep, closing your eyes as you yawned and soon, all that was heard in the dark yet cooled room, was the soft breathing of the both of you sleeping peacefully as you cuddled up against each other in the bed you both share, the house the two of you now share is filled with the peaceful quietness, then when the morning had came, Harvey seemed to content on staying in his position as he was too comfortable to move and he didn't want you leaving the bed so soon, while you woke up early and tried getting out of bed to go run places and run to the mines, yet Harvey seems to not want to let you go to the mines, so he kept in his place, mumbling tiredly as he kept mumbling his tired and weak protests of “nooo..” to you trying to get him off of you and to lay on the other side so you could go to the mines, but you soon gave up as you got back into the warmth and comfortable spot you were in originally, and then you closed your eyes once more after giving him a kiss, he had tiredly gave you a kiss back and rested his head against your chest again, since he wanted to stay in longer, and you couldn't deny your husband that any longer because he was so adorable like this, and he loves your scent and your warmth, how could you deny your husband warmth and comfort? You'd just let him get cold and alone in bed? No, you have to stay here and go back to bed, he seemed so happy even in his sleep again as the two of you fell back asleep peacefully,

Okay refucking writing it all are you absolutely fucking kidding me like what the fucking hell I should've fucking written it here like what the fuck

NSFW!!

Harvey's soft cries and desperate pleas echo throughout the bedroom the two husbands share, the sound of their soft skin meeting filling the room with a soft Melody of passion. The bed, though it was In Fact silent, stayed silent, Harvey clutched the sheets tightly, his face flushed with desire and sweet moans tumbling from his lips. His legs spread apart, his body writhes in absolute pure raw ecstasy as his husband, m/n, thrusts into him with such primal need, gripping Harvey's thighs absolutely possessively as he thrusted into him, m/n's rigid length slides in and out of Harvey that sends shivers down Harvey's spine, his cock finding that sweet, soft spot inside of his husband Harvey, causing him to squirm in pleasure. Tears of raw ecstasy had streamed down Harvey's face as he begged for his husband m/n to let him finish, after hours of being absolutely lost in the intoxication of their love-making, M/n could only chuckled in response to Harvey, his hips grinding against Harvey's hips, sending waves of pleasure through both their bodies. With a gentle soft sweet touch, m/n's hand moved from Harvey's thigh to his throbbing cock, Each stroke m/n’s hand made had only brought Harvey closer to the edge, Harvey's need growing with each passing moment this kept going on. M/n smeared the pre-cum over the head of Harvey's cock, his thumb pressing down on the sensitive tip, sending shivers of pleasure through Harvey's body, yet the sensation of m/n's thumb pressing against the head of his cock sends Harvey into a absolutely frenzy, his hips bucking in absolute desperation, as m/n presses Harvey back onto the bed, then pulls out of him only to thrust back in deeper than before, Harvey's cries had reach a fever pitch. He can feel himself being so close on the edge of release, but his husband denies him, prolonging the torture with each thrust, m/n worships Harvey with soft whispers of love and adoration to his husband, his movements slow and deliberate now, drawing out Harvey's torment. His hand strokes Harvey's cock with skill, his lips trailing tender lovingly kisses along Harvey's skin, their bodies move in absolute perfect synchrony, slowly driving Harvey to the brink of madness as he begged and pleaded for release, the overwhelming desire courses through Harvey's veins is matched only by the intensity of m/n's thrusting, Harvey's pitched cries and whines echoes through the room loudly, M/n finally letting Harvey reach his release as he started thrusting faster and deeper, his cock pressed deep against the sweet spot spot inside of Harvey, causing Harvey to hold tightly onto the bed as he moaned loudly, cum now being on his abdomen as M/n kept pumping his husband's pulsing cock, completely fucking Harvey out of his Ecstasy state, Harvey's soft moans kept slipping from his lips as he soon fell exhausted, while M/n took care of Harvey right after releasing inside of his husband.

Aftercare omg

Shortly after Harvey and his husband M/n completed their intimate time together, M/n lovingly tended to his husband's every need. He carefully cleaned Harvey up, ensuring he was comfortable as he guided him to the bathroom, assisted him in drinking water, and then drew a warm bath for them both with deep love and tender care, M/n washed his husband, showering him with kisses and sweet words of admiration and love, as he lovingly attended to Harvey making sure he was comfortable, M/n neglected his own needs just for his husband's, soon, drying himself off hastily as he focused on ensuring Harvey's comfort right after he lovingly was drying Harvey off with care and time, after the bath, M/n gently carried Harvey to the bedroom once again, dressing them both in cozy clothes before settling Harvey on the sofa for a moment, M/n then changed the bedding, preparing a fresh, welcoming space for them to rest. With new pillows, sheets, and blankets, the bed became a haven of softness and comfort for them now while tenderly lifting his weary husband into the soft comforting bed, M/n turned off the lamp and nestled beside him, As Harvey drifted off to sleep, safe and loved in his husband's arms, M/n whispered sweet words of love and adoration, holding him close as they both drifted off to the peaceful sleep

GOOD FUCKING NIGHT HOLY SHIT I AM GLAD IT DID NOT FUCKING DISAPPEAR AFTER I TRIED POSTING THE FIRST ONE WITHOUT SAVING THE NSFW, AFTERCARE AND SOME OF THE STUFF I ADDED TO THE MAIN THING.

[primary-022]

outsiders x male reader

I sat in a booth at the dingo, eating lunch, and finishing some homework, as well as others because I needed the money.

Then a group boys came in and settled down in a booth in front of me. They had greasy hair, a style commonly associated with Greasers. I recognized some of the boys - not that I knew them well, but I had seen them around. Two of the boys work at the DX and another one with a cut on his cheek is in my English class.

Well knowing very what greasers are like I tried to keep my head down so I won't get notice until a couple of socs came in.

How I know this is, well, I am middle class, and we're mostly pretty chill besides choosing groups to be in. I am close to being called middle-class so I don't get bothered as much sort of.

If you are not familiar with socs, they're the rich kids who think they are above everything and are super snotty-well at least most of them. Anyway, socs and greasers are not very fond of each other, and there has been a rivalry between the two social groups.

Well, anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, I was doing some work until the Socs happened to stumble across me.

"Well, look who it is," one of the socs said, sliding into the seat next to me. Hey guys, I said, trying to continue my work and hoping it would make them interested in me."What do you guys need?" I asked. "Oh, nothing. Just checking in on our favorite genius to monitor if he's okay and doing what we requested. It seems that you’re not," he replied disapprovingly."Well, I have other people working on it; you know that," I responded."Do we? Or are you just avoiding it?" he pressed.

I started to feel a little scared because, when he acts like this, I know from past experiences that I might get jumped on my way home. "Look, man, I can do it right now if you want," I said, trying to divert his attention from whatever he had planned."I guess that's good," he said, but not before glancing at his friends with a smirk. "While you're at it, do these," he added as his friends began passing their homework to him. "That doesn’t mean you’re off the hook," he continued, dropping the pill onto the work I was doing. With that, he and his group started to walk away, and I let out a deep breath I had been holding. If you're wondering who had been tormenting me the whole time, his name is Bob, and he thinks he is invincible.

Unknowingly to me, while that was happening, the greaser sitting in the booth next to me was overhearing the commotion"Hey, you!" I heard someone call out. I turned my head to see who it was. "Oh, hi," I greeted them. "Hey," one of them replied. "Um, we were wondering if you wanted to walk with us. We overheard that little situation with those annoying Socs."Oh, y'all heard? Sorry, and sure, why not—it will save me from getting jumped, hopefully. "Yeah, well, I'm Soda Pop," he said, introducing himself. Oh, right! You work at the DX.

Yeah, and this is Steve with the tattoo, Johnny Cakes, two-bit with a Mickey t-shirt, the sleeves cut off, and my brother Ponyboy. he said, introducing the people he is with. I said hello to them, and they waved back in response.

Anyway, why are you doing other people's homework? Sodapop ask.

Well, I need the money to avoid getting harmed, and I have some debt to pay off.

"Huh? What kind of debt?" Two-Bit asked.

I borrowed money from someone, and now another person thinks that if I owe money to one person, I should also owe him money. "Who?" he continued. "Huh?" I replied, confused. "Who?" Steve asked, responding to my vague answer. "Um... oh yeah, Bob. He's part of this so-called badass group that I mention."

"No, we were asking who you owe money to," Ponyboy said, wanting to know.

"Oh" well, you are gonna have to get to know me better if you want to know".I said with a grin, leaving them with a confused and disappointed expression.

I'm sort of in a stump. I don't know what else to add, but I will keep updating this post or another one and link to the original post. If you’d like me to create a full story based on this, please let me know! I’m also working on an oc character story on Wattpad and A03. It’s not published yet, but I’m focusing on that as well. The story features a male character because there aren’t many options available for male readers. Anyway, I'll stop yapping your ears off. 😘💋

Makima: I don't know-

Pyrrha: No! I'm going to tell him how I feel! Thanks Makima! *Pyrrha leaves*

Makima: ... Shit.

Monika: Nice going. Now we have to compete with her too.

Makima: ... It's easy to beat an opponent who doesn't realize they're playing a game, Little Sister.

Monika: I'd usually suggest removing the player but Pyrrha is ... Different.

Monika: When am I not?

Iroh (ALTA): pah! There's no need for the emphasis. I'd love to be your Uncle, but if you don't feel like you're my nephew, then Don't bother Lying. What's wrong?

Ren: Nothing. Is it too much to want to come see my mentor?

Iroh: No, but I can tell there is still a storm in your heart.

Eddie and Argyle:Hell or High Water-Operation Mary-Jane (Blurb)

Summary:On a road trip across the states two stoners come across a new furry friend.

basically based on this text post, that I couldn't very much leave alone without writing a little something for

Word Count:761

Masterlist

“Dude I am telling you, Jonathan is way into this Nancy chick. All he ever does is talk about her.” Argyle chuckled from where he was sitting beside Eddie in the driver’s seat of his van. Eddie liked Argyle. The pair had actually bonded pretty quickly after Argyle had come down to Hawkins with the rest of the Byers’ family.  

“No way man. I saw how she was with Harrington with my own eyes, there’s something going on there.” Eddie refutes with a scoff.

“Well I guess only time will tell, my friend.” Argyle smiles.

Eddie slows down as he approaches a gas station. He’d been driving for a few hours at this point and his fuel gauge was beginning to dip low.

“Gotta fill ‘er up” Eddie notes as he pulls into the station.

“Alright, I want to get out and stretch my legs anyway.” 

The pair get out of the van and Eddie begins to fill up his van from the gas pump, before heading inside to pay.

“Alright, I'm heading inside, you want anything?” Eddie shouts out to Argyle.

“Yeah, grab me a Pepsi?”

“You got it, man” Eddie smirks, flicking up finger guns.

Argyle wanders around the gas station court for a few minutes, and as he does his attention is caught by the sound of some gentle mews coming from a cardboard box just behind the station.

Peering down to look inside the box, there curled up is a tiny little kitten. Its tabby stripes are a little fuzzy and unkempt.

“Hey there little one, did someone leave you here?” Argyle asks softly as he crouches down by the box. The kitten’s tiny little ears perk up at the sound of his voice.

The kitten mews in response once more, as Argyle looks around to see if there’s anyone else around. Nope, nobody, apart from him, Eddie and the gas station attendant. 

“Alright, I got us pringles, twizzlers, snickers, a Pepsi for you, and a Dr. Pepper for me.” Eddie says lifting up a small plastic bag in the air as he makes his way out of the door.

“Shh, dude you're gonna scare her.” Argyle hushes from where he's still crouched down by the side of a cardboard box on the floor.

“Scare who?” Eddie asks.

“I've made a new friend.” Argyle answers, stepping back enough for Eddie to see the kitten.

Eddie's eyes soften on the tiny little cat. She looked so small and helpless in that big cardboard box. 

Judging by the way that there was no food or water left out for her, Eddie assumed that the people at the gas station had no idea about her. The fact that the only other thing in the box was a scraggy piece of towel, didn't fill Eddie with confidence. Whoever it was that dumped her here likely wasn't coming back for her any time soon. 

“Pick her up and let's get out of here before someone notices.” Eddie says.

“What?”

“Well we can't just leave her here, dude? What if something happens to her?”

“ Just pick her up? Like with my hands?” Argyle says, his eyebrows drawing up.

“Yeah” Eddie assures. “My uncle Wayne used to have a cat, black and white thing called Humphrey Bogart-we used to call him ‘Bogie’, so I know how to handle them, you've just got to be gentle.”

“Your uncle had a cat with a last name?” Argyle asked, turning to look at Eddie in confusion.

“Doesn’t matter. Just slip your hand under her belly, and carefully pick her up, don’t be nervous.”

“Like this?” Argyle asks, carefully picking up the tiny kitten and wrapping in the scrap of towel from the box.

“Yeah now let’s get back into the van before anyone sees us and tries to arrest us for cat-napping.” Eddie flicks his eyes around to see if there are any CCTV cameras which to his relief there’s not. It’s only a small gas station, so I guess people aren’t too worried about what goes on. It’s not like Eddie needs another offence to add to his ever-stacking list of misdemeanours.

The boys manage to successfully get back into the van and pull away without being seen, and the kitten that is comfort curled up in Argyle’s lap purrs happily as it sleeps.

“That’s it MJ, you just make yourself comfortable.” Argyle smiles.

“MJ?” 

“Yeah, Mary-Jane. MJ for short.” Argyle answers confidently. “What? She has to have a name, dude.”

Eddie chuckles. Just what every all-American road trip needs. Two stoners and a tiny kitten.

Fix you 4

A/n: 🥰told ya I was gonna post today and I'm doing on time Yaaaay anyways 1 more part after this yall ready for the finale...I'm not ENJOY @loveyouselfalways I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing

The cold air blew your dress up a little as you quickly walked away from your company's building. Wh3n you saw niki raise his fist at the producer you knew it wasn't gonna end well and the last thing you wanted to do was be the reason the boys couldn't get another interview with a big brand such as Elle. The black zip up you throwed on when you walked out was not helping you keep the warmth I'm your body. You were shivering, cursing yourself for not changing before leaving.

" Go look that way, she shouldn't have gone far " you turned around and saw the boys rushing out of the building looking both ways trying to find their missing member. Which was you

You cursed under your breath quickly rushing into a crowd of people leaving the 7/11 that was near. You quickly weaved in between people rushing into the alley nearby. It reminded you of a show you watched where there was a serial killer on the lose and all the girls were killed in an alleyway just like this. It sent a shiver up your spine, maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

You turned around checking to see if you were being followed, letting out a quick huff of satisfaction when you saw no one.

" going somewhere." You screamed niki was standing there with his arms crossed. You turned around running the opposite direction but was stopped when he grabbed your wrist slamming your body into the brick wall that was beside you. One hand was on your waist while the other was still holding your wrist. His lips were inches away from touching yours.

"What are you doing?" You whispered too scared to talk out loud. He looked down at you . " Well if I have you like this you can't run from me."

You turned your head away from his

"Don't you think you are a little too close?" He smirked, " Why am I making you nervous?" He grabbed your chin so you were now facing him. He was leaning in closer as the reflective light off of the store across the street sign was bouncing off our faces." Why did you leave?" He asked I sucked my cheek while looking away from him. He rolled his eyes in annoyance. " Why are you being so selfish?" I whipped my head at him " Me selfish what…I'm literally the complete opposite of selfish." He scoffed " Oh really so hiding things from your members is such a team player thing." " I did it so you guys wouldn't worry about me."

" Well too freaking late for that y/n." I crossed my arms moving from in front of him but he pulled me back " No you don't get to run away this time, you don't get to keep running away from your problems and hope that it'll fix itself soon." The pain I heard in his voice made tears well up in my eyes.

" I know you think that you can do this by yourself. You think if you're telling us what's wrong it's going to be another burden on our shoulders." I was looking at my feet and niki grabbed my chin raising it up to face him he locked eyes with me " But We want to help,we want to carry that burden with you y/n. we're a team we cry together,we hurt together, and we fight together no one is ever alone." I Wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. " But do you see what they say about me? Do you see the names I'm called over and over again, it's like I can never be good enough. I'm sorry that I look like this and if I could change it in a day I would i would fix that problem" " But thier nothing to fix. Your perfect on the inside and outside." Nike frowned his eyes brows.

" No, I love you just the way you are, the boys love you just the way you are. The real ENGENES love you for who you are. I know you've seen the way some of them look at you, they admire you. They admire your bravery and how after all the hate you get you still stand up and perform for them they love you for you. I wouldn't change anything about you. But if you want to fix something I'll fix the way you see yourself ill fix you."

Niki started down at her admiring her features and everything that made her perfect. He was never able to get up close and analyze your face but now he's happy he finally got to see everything that made you perfect to him

He licked his bottom lip staring at mine intently. " Niki." I breathed out. He was leaning down closer and closer, the hand that was once on my wrist was now over my head as he leaned on it.

" You're so pretty you know that. " my eyes widened. " Niki stop joking around." He shook his head " I'm not, I would never joke about something like that." His lips ghosted over mine. " You're so beautiful y/n and one day you'll see that, you'll see how ignorant and dumb people can be. You'll see yourself the way I see you." A finger ghosted over your lips." And how do you see me niki." He smirked, crashing his lips onto yours, you moved in sync with him, you wrapped your arms around his neck pulling him closer.

The butterflies that were in your stomach were now flapping around furiously trying to get out. After a while he pulled away trying to catch his breath. " I adore you " He breathed out. " And if anyone has something negative to say about you I will kill them." I giggled looking at him. He grinned happily

finally seeing you smile.

" Did we miss a chapter?" You and niki jumped, whipping your heads towards the edge of the alley where all the boys stood grinning. " Didn't you guys hate each other?" Sunghoon said with confusion all over his face. " I knew it." Jay smiled, holding his hand out to Heeseung who angrly placed a 10 dollar bill in his hand. I lifted the hood of my zip up over my head and covered my face with my hands.

" Can you guys please just leave or even better disappear and never come back." Niki gritted trying to push them away from the scene. " Fine we don't wanna see you and your girlfriend making out ànyways." He crossed his arms pouting " she's not my girlfriend she's my friend who I deeply care about." Sunoo chuckled, " yeah right." He was the first one to walk and the others followed him. Jake winked at niki making kissy faces.

" Well ... .now what." I asked niki shrugged " I don't know I never got this far in planning." I punched his shoulder " oh so you planned this." I motioned between us and he nodded, leaning his arms over my head again towering over me. " Yep, it's all in my book of mastery plans to make the world's most beautiful girl fall in love with herself just like I fell in love with her."

My eyes widened and so did his quickly moved away and stared at me in shock.

Did he just say Love

He laughed " I didn't mean love I meant…..adoration you know how much I adore you." Now he was nervous because no way in hell did he just tell the girl he was in love with since the trainee days.. that he was in love with her.

" Niki you-" He quickly cut her off. " Hey I think I hear Jake calling us. We should go let's go. I wouldn't want them to wait right." He ran around the corner and back to the building pumping into a couple of pedestrians quickly bowing and apologizing.

You smiled to yourself the boy you like finally admitted that he loved you, twice

And for the first time in months you finally felt like

You

“Come on Raph!” The smallest turtle pleaded getting onto his knees.

“No. It's final. When you’re 13 you can leave the Lair but right now you’re 12.” Raph spoke in an annoyed yet serious tone as they had been going back and forth for quite some time now. “Mike, back me up here.” Leo whinned turning to face his now orange brother. “Sorry man, I waited till I was 13 and you should do the same,” Mikey explained.

“Sigh, Nardo we aren’t going to debate this.” Donnie shifted his weight onto one foot crossing his arms. Leo’s shoulders lifted in disgust that his brother had the audacity to get involved in their conversation. “Shut up Don. You were allowed to go half a year early.”

“Due to my intelligence, you seem to only have 6/32 off,” The purple turtle paused. “And also because Raphael was scared to go out alone but that’s beside the point.”

“Okay but.. but if you guys leave I’ll be all alone,” Leo whined again being overly dramatic, trying to change his brother’s mind. “ILL GO CRAZY.”

“What about dad?” Mikey replied. The smallest turtle gave him a dad’s-a-rat-who-only-sits-on-his-ass-and-watches-tv look.

“While we are out we should go to the store, we need to pick up a few things,” Donnie said walking out to leave the Lair, not even acknowledging Leo’s begging. “Sweet! I’ve always wanted to see a store!” The box turtle skipped to follow closely behind his brother. The brand new orange mask tails bounced with his body.

“Sorry lil’ man, don’t worry though, next year is gonna be your year!” Raph patted his brother's head as they both watched their brothers leave. Leo shot him with a dark glare and he crossed his arms in fury at him. Raph tried to offer some consolation, patting Leo's head and assuring him not to worry. "Don't worry though, I'll get you something while we are out," Raph said before waving goodbye and jogging to catch up with their brothers.

“Next year is gonna be your year” Leon repeated in a mocking tone. He grumbled something under his breath before he turned to face the empty lair. The only noise came from the TV in his dad’s lounge room. Splinter definitely wasn’t as fun as Mikey had been when Donnie and Raph left to go out, but his dad was something to keep him occupied.

Leo walked towards the room before pausing and glancing at a clock.

9:36 pm.

His brothers had to be home before sunrise which normally was around 7 am so that meant about…

Leo started counting on his fingers.

10ish hours without his brothers.

Great.

Leo let out a groan of frustration, pulling his skin down on his face. He began strolling towards the sound of the TV, adjusting his blue bandana that was tied around his forehead. Leo admired his brothers' matching masks (except for Mikey, who had recently requested a normal mask instead of a durag.) and that he and Mikey had found their own bandana while their brothers were out, but Mikey no longer needed his. Leo's bandana was simply a blue cloth tied together in the back. He didn't trust himself to cut eye holes in the mask, so he kept it on his forehead.

As Leo entered the lounge room, he noticed a lazy-boy chair and a side table with a projector in the middle of the room. The projection casts a shadow onto the chair, creating a large outline. Leo stood in the shadow for a moment, contemplating whether he should talk to his dad or leave him be. Eventually, he decided to try engaging his dad in conversation, as it would give him something to do.

Leo walked into the room and jumped onto the arm of the couch, positioning himself on the center of the armrest's cushion. He swung his left leg back and forth, unable to reach the ground beneath him, while his other leg was too long to swing without hitting the center cushion and his father.

Splinter glanced at the turtle to see which one had spoken to him. “Hello blue. Where are your brothers?” The rat refused to take his eyes off the projected screen despite it being a Japanese ad for soap. "It's Mikey's 13th birthday, remember? He got to go out into the city for the first time today. I really wanted to go too, but I'm not 'old enough.'" Leo mocked his own words in a high-pitched voice while rolling his eyes.

“Mhm,” Splinter said as the television switched to another Japanese ad for lotion. Leo watched his Dad stare at the projection. “Dad, are you listening?” The turtle asked. “Mhm,” Splinter repeated. “Yes yes, something about Mikey, birthday, they left the Lair, WAIT THEY LEFT THE LAIR?” The rat exclaimed, abruptly springing up from his seat, startling Leo in the process. Taken aback by Splinter's sudden outburst, Leo reminded him, "Yeah… you said that when we turn 13, we're allowed to leave the Lair whenever."

“So your brothers are outside. Right now. In New York?”

“Yeah, I read about NYC and basically during the night it’s empty so they will be okay!”

“NEW YORKS NICKNAME IS ‘THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS’.”

Leo flinched at the yells, squeezing the arm cushion between his legs.

"Sorry, blue. I didn't mean to yell," the rat's voice softened as he took a deep breath, struggling to regain control of his anger. "When are your brothers getting home?" Splinter switched off the projector, his body leaving the comfort of the lounge chair. Leo, feeling a mixture of guilt and apprehension, simply shrugged, avoiding eye contact as he glanced back down at the arm cushion. He didn't want to worsen the situation for his brothers by divulging their whereabouts to their father. "Dunno," he responded quietly. Splinter gently patted Leo's leg, his touch a mixture of affection and disappointment. "Well, at least one of my sons knows how to listen to his father." With those words, his dad exited the room, leaving Leo behind in an unbearable silence that seemed to weigh heavily upon him.

“Don’t come out of your room when your brothers come home.”

“Why?” The turtle flipped his head only to see an empty room. “Dad?”

He glanced up to see the clock sitting on the wall.

Oh great it was one of those clocks with the spiny sticks and numbers in a circle.

He didn’t even try to figure out what it read and jumped down and off the chair. The small turtle exited the room quietly, careful not to let his father hear. Splinter was in a bad mood for sure so it was best to not annoy him in any way. He crept towards his blue train car. With a gentle pull, the curtain parted, revealing his wall adorned with a collection of comics awaiting his attention. He peered at them, searching for a comic to read, a figure to play with, or simply something to alleviate his boredom. Yet, he couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity that washed over him. Every comic book on his shelf had been read at least four times before, and after the second read, they had lost their allure, growing monotonous and unexciting. The same held for his collection of action figures.

Leo let out a groan of frustration, throwing his head back. Normally, when Raph and Donnie left, Leo at least had Mikey to keep him company. But this time, there was no one. He was left feeling bored, bored as hell.

The blue turtle let out a yawn of sheer boredom, his weariness evident as he pushed the curtain aside in a bid to exit the room. As his hand grazed the cold concrete walls of the lair, he could feel every rough bump, every slight imperfection etched into the surface. Suddenly, his finger collided with a sharp outdent, causing a few drops of blood to well up. Though it was a minor injury, it didn't bother him enough to warrant concern.

Continuing on his way, Leo's attention was abruptly drawn to something that halted his progress. His eyes shifted upward, fixating on a majestic purple curtain positioned right beside him. Lowering his arms to his sides, he turned to face the drapes, his gaze locked on their vibrant hue. A mischievous grin crept onto his face as he slowly reached out and slid the drapes aside, relishing the sensation of the fabric brushing against his arm. With a sense of anticipation, he stepped forward and entered the dimly lit purple room.

As he gazed around the room, his eyes were immediately drawn to the wall adorned with various inventions in every corner. With a curious step forward, he meticulously examined every detail. However, his focus was quickly interrupted by the mesmerizing glow of the purple-lit room, causing him to momentarily lose track of where he was walking.

Caught off guard, Leo's foot unexpectedly slid on a misplaced blue permanent marker, causing him to flail his arms in a desperate attempt to regain his balance. As he watched the marker roll away beneath him, a small wave of relief washed over him. "Oh hey! I thought I lost you!" he exclaimed joyfully, retrieving the marker from the ground and twirling it between his fingers. "Don-Don can't keep you away from me."

Seeking a moment of respite, Leo flopped onto a nearby chair, casually draping his legs on top of the adjacent desk. With a grin, he placed the marker in his mouth, uncapping it and leaving the lid perched between his beak. The turtle began to doodle small, intricate drawings on his legs before gradually moving on to his arms. It was evident which arm he had drawn on with his left hand and which with his right hand. Lost in his own world, he muttered to himself, "Does Dee have any other colors?"

Leo's eyes scanned the desk, searching for any color besides black and purple, and his own blue marker. He opened a drawer and found various items, including paper, notebooks, pencils, and markers. Leo grabbed a small beige band-aid from the drawer and opened it. He carefully placed the gauze part on his bleeding finger and slid the parchment off the sticky ends. The band-aid overlapped on his finger, restricting some movement but providing enough coverage for now.

He continued looking until his eyes found a clump of color beneath a napkin. He snatched the towel and tossed it to the side. Leo grabbed the red marker and started adding outlines, color, and even more drawings to his body. The turtle re-capped both of the markers he had before realizing he left bite marks in the blue cap. He shrugged it off and tucked the blue marker into his blue sweatband that sat high on his forearm. Leo continued with his art adding every color marker to his body. Once he felt like he was done he stared at himself in the black monitor. With the purple light, it was hard to see himself but the new colorful drawn drawings shined bright against his green skin. Leo admired his reflection, flexing his "muscles".

"Woah-ho-ho! I look like I've got tattoos!" He exclaimed, striking a pose, feeling like a superstar. Suddenly, he jumped from the chair and began kicking and punching the air, pretending to fight off imaginary ninjas. In amidst of his energetic display, his foot slipped, causing the chair to crash to the floor with a loud noise. Leo paused for a moment, expecting to hear footsteps approaching, but there was nothing. His brothers were gone, and his dad was too far away to hear the commotion.

Leo’s eyes drifted upwards towards a tall, frail, white-colored mannequin with a deep purple-colored shell. “Woah, has Donnie been training without us?” He paused again before high-kicking the mannequin on the ground and watched it fall. “HIYAH!” The shell of the model fell first with a louder crash than the chair. He could hear the tech and plastic within the shell snapping. “Hah! And Neon Leon wins again!” The turtle spoke triumphantly throwing his arms to his waist and stepping his foot on top of the mannequin like his idol, Lou Jitsu, after he had defeated his mortal enemy.

Leo's eyes wandered across the room until they landed on a wall filled with gadgets and tech. His jaw dropped in awe. He had always known Donnie was smart, but seeing the collection of weapons and devices showcased Donnie's ingenuity on a whole new level. Leo's hand gently touched the large bo-staff that sat in the center of the collection, noticing the small gray pieces scattered along its length.

“Woah, epic dude!” He squealed as his fingers wrapped around the ends of the stick pulling it close to him. Leo's excitement was palpable as he held the stick in his hands, his eyes sparkling with awe. Every intricate detail of the staff fascinated him, and despite his initial reluctance, he couldn't deny how amazing it truly was.

However, his moment of admiration was abruptly interrupted by a blaring alarm that pierced through the air. The once dim purple lights transformed into flashing red, casting an alarming glow in the room. The deafening sound assaulted Leo's ears, causing his heart to race with uncertainty.

In a panic, Leo hastily returned the staff to its designated spot on the shelf. As quickly as the alarm had started, it abruptly ceased, and the red lights faded back to their original purple hue. Leo tried to compose himself, tucking his hands behind his back and nonchalantly turning around, whistling as if he hadn't been involved in any mischief.

S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N entered the room watching the turtle, as it did not suspect that Leo had tried to steal from Donnie. “Good day, Leonardo!” The chirpy robot said swinging to its charging deck next to the desk which was covered in markers and so was the surrounding floor. Leo crept to the desk, trying to not draw attention to the mess he had made. He lifted the chair back up and sat in it. “Hey S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N.” He sighed, resting his head on the desk. The turtle snuck his hand into his armband, grabbing the blue marker. It flipped between Leo’s fingers as he fidgeted with it as a way to cure his boredom. His eyes roamed in circles before arriving at the robot and then back at the maker. A grin spread across his face once more. ••••

“Can we go to a movie? Oh! How about a pizzeria?” Mikey spoke jumping up and down on the rooftop urgently pointing at everything as his mind did not have the capacity to keep his excitement in.

aph and Donnie exchanged a meaningful glance before nodding in agreement. Donnie then turned to Mike and said, "Listen, Mike, you can't tell Dad or Leo about this, okay?" Donnie retrieved his phone, and the blue light illuminated his face as he began typing. Confused, Mikey tilted his head. "Huh? What do you mean?"

“APRILLLL O’NEIL!!” A girl with chocolate skin and two fluffy buns on her head screamed out, jumping onto Raph's shell. “AHHHH A HUMAN! RAPH IT'S ON YOU YOUR GONNA DIE!” Mikey’s screamed pulling at his face in fear. “I don’t appreciate being called an ‘it’.” The girl scolded getting down from Raphs and crossing her arms as she eyed Mikey. “WAIT IS THIS YOUR BROTHER? Oh my god, you’re so cute! Orange is deff your color.” The human grabbed Mikey’s cheek then flicked the tails of his mask and watched them bounce for a moment. “AHHHH ITS GONNA KILL ME HELP.” He flailed his arms and screamed in distress. She held her pose and watched the turtle scream on the ground. “Wow. And I thought Donnie was dramatic when he first met me.” April crossed her arms shifting her weight to her left side and eyed the panicking turtle again.

“WHO ARE YOU? AND HOW DO YOU KNOW DONNIES NAME? AND WHY ARE YOU SO SCARY??” He yelled clutching onto Raph's arm; when did he get there? “Well, I’m the great, the amazing, the one and only, April O’Neil.” She spoke flicking her imaginary flowing hair behind her shoulder and acted as if people were applauding for her. “Donnie is my friend, so is Raph-a-doodle, and soon you too… maybe. Anyways I don’t think I’m that scary but if you think I am- RAHHHH!” April stuck her hands out in an attempt to try and scare the turtle, which she had succeeded.

“AHHHHH” Mikey screamed holding his brother tighter. “STOP IT YOU JERK.” He commanded, hissing at April. She bent over and started laughing at his reaction. “Okay, okay, hah, sorry little guy.” She wiped away a tear from her laughter.

“STOP LAUGHING ITS NOT FUNNY. AND DONT CALL ME LITTLE GUY. MY NAME IS MIKEY AND I'M PRETTY BIG FOR MY AGE.” He growled at April sticking a finger in her face, holding onto his brother his other hand still. “You aren’t making a good first impression April.” Raph chuckled a little, wiggling the box turtle off his arm. “Okay, sorry Mike. Hah, anyways are you guys out for a restock or something, or why are you guys out right now?” She asked heaving an arm over Mikey's shoulder in a way to comfort him. The orange turtle cleared his throat and placed a hand on his chest. “Well actually, today is my birthday so-”

"It's actually all of our birthdays, but we only really celebrate the big one three," Donnie explained, peeking his head up. The blue light from his phone continued to cast a glare on his face.

“Exactly. SO MY BIRTHDAY.” Mikey cranked his head to face his dead-pan brother, staring him down. Donnie rolled his eyes and began typing on his phone again. “Since it’s MY birthday I’m allowed out of the Lair for the first time.”

“Hell yeah, big man! So where you wanna go first since you’re the birthday boy?”

“Nowhere with you.” Mikey hissed at April. She ignored his words and continued on.

“I personally recommend the mall since it’s closed about now or the grocery store-“

“Oh oh! We should show Mikey the big tall green lady!” Raph eyes lit up as he exclaimed. He pointed towards the Statue of Liberty, it towered over the ocean holding its torch. She looked as if she was leading a war. "I've always wanted to see her since the first time I left the Lair!"

“I have like zero idea what you guys are talking about but okay!” ••••

“And tada!!!” Leo shook his arms into jazz hands at the robot. “You’re so pretty now!” The robot now had drawn on eyebrows, mustache, beard, blush, eyelashes, and lips. Leo admired the robot and grinned at his work. “Okay well, I’m gonna join you in getting some Z’s, night Shell’.” He lifted his feet onto the table and rested his arms behind his head and neck. It only took a few minutes for him to fall asleep as he had put so much work into making S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N look ‘gorgeous’. ••••

The three turtles plus April went exploring for hours. Almost everything in that city fascinated the youngest turtle there. The stores, the people, the roofs, the colored lights that covered the streets, even the mascots.

Mikey stood on the crowded street, gazing at the large TV screen. The orange sweatshirt Donnie had given him after they left covered the top of his eyesight, but he quickly pushed it back and off his head to get a clear view. His eyes were fixed on the screen, which advertised 'Dove Lotion.' It reminded him of the commercials that always appeared on his father's recordings of his Lou Jitsu movies, but there was something different about this one.

A lady with blonde, volumized hair and blue eyes held the lotion next to her pale face that looked as if it was made of the finest silk. She puckered her lips out while her hair flowed gracefully as she swayed, showcasing the bottle. The lady wore a blue dress that complemented the colors of the rounded bottle. Her dress outlined her curvy body, making her look more plastic and fake than a Barbie. He watched the woman before the ad abruptly switched.

“Excuse me? My son would like a photo with you.” A woman with ginger hair pulled into a ponytail and a yellow headband asked. He repeated the question in his mind for a moment looking at the child with stars in his eyes. “Okay!” He shrugged before kneeling down next to the boy and putting out a peace sign. “Say cheese!” The boy looked at Mikey before copying his exact pose. Mikey's face lit up, forgetting that indeed, he wasn’t human. But instead a mutant. “Thanks! Here’s 10!” The lady placed a green piece of crumpled paper into his hand. He peered at the paper before back at the now-gone woman and her child. “Um, Miss? You left your paper in my hand?” He called out into the void of people. She was nowhere to be seen. There were too many people

“MIKEY.”

A voice yelled from the crowd. His body turned in circles trying to find the voice. He tried to listen but sounds and people overlapped it. He wanted everyone and everything to shut up for a second.

“MICHEAL JEUSS CHRIST.”

This time it came from behind him. People pushed and shoved around the turtle. Some stopped for a moment examining the mutant before them. Where is this voice coming from?

“Mikey.”

Hands pulled the orange hood over his head then grabbed his arm and pulled him towards an alleyway. He started at the green three-fingered hand that pulled him. A purple sweatshirt rested along the arm. He glanced at each part of the person again before realizing it was only his brother, nothing to be worried about.

He didn’t know what to say or do, so he just allowed himself to be yanked by the arm. After a minute he felt himself shoved slightly into a dark dead-ended alley towards Raph and his brand new friend, April. He caught himself before he face-planted the ground while Donnie towered over him. “Phew, Donnie you seriously freaked me out there,” Mikey said rubbing the back of his neck nervously, standing to his feet.

“You can’t just ditch us like that! You gonna get caught.” Donnie growled at his small brother.

“Get caught? But they were fine with me? This really nice lady asked me to take a photo with her kid and she even gave me green paper!” Mikey pulled it out a held it in front of him.

“Money. It's called money. Wait a minute, she took a photo of you?” His sharpie eyebrows narrowed in the small moonlight that shined through the opening above them.

“Yeah..?”

“MIKEY YOU'RE A MUTANT. WHEN SHE LOOKS AT THAT PHOTO SHE GONNA FIND OUT THAT YOU ARE NOT A REALISTIC MASCOT.” He paused catching his breath. “And then.. oh and then she’s gonna report you to the MOTHER FUCKING EPF-“

“Language.” Raph rumbled.

“They are already on me and Raph’s case after we stole from a store that we didn’t even know was still open.”

"It had an open sign Don you just didn't wanna believe it." April rolled her eyes as Donnie was always protective of them when they went out. More protective than Raph which was surprising.

“I’m… sorry I didn’t know.”

“Deeppp longg sighhh.” Donnie rubbed his glabella with his thumb and pointer finger looking away from his brother. “Your damn right you didn’t know. Listen, Michael. I’m giving you one more chance. If you ruin it, you not only ruin it for yourself but Leo. As he might be even more immature and stupid with his actions than you.”

He didn’t want to ruin this for himself and really didn’t want to ruin it for Leo. “Sorry Don, I’ll try harder next time.” Mikey's anxiety grew as he grasped his elbow, looking up at his brother with a heightened sense of fear. Donnie, who had the power to take away something that Mikey had longed for, appeared even more intimidating than usual.

Donnie watched his brother for a moment. “Apology excepted. We should head home, we have everything we need for the lair.”

“I’ll walk y’all back,” April spoke moving her body from leaning on Raph to a straightened position.

They climbed the ladders and stepped towards the night sky. The ladders connected each apartment. They eventually ended up on the roof and started climbing from one roof to another. “So Mike, what do you think of New York?” April asked. Mikey snapped out of his thoughts and his face lit up. “It’s amazing! The pizza, the places, the colors, everything!” He grinned flailing his arms in a big circle then bringing them into fists and back to his chest. “Yeah, my city is pretty great.” She grinned.

“YOUR city? OMIGOSH ARE YOU THE PRESIDENT?” Mikey exclaimed in shock and awe.

“Hell yeah! I run this whole place!”

“Woah!”

“Mikester. Im joking. I'm not actually the president. It's called sarcasm.”

“Man, I really got my hopes up.” He groaned as his shoulders slumped. He looked up seeing a black void. The blank black-painted sky had a slight amount of smog wafting in the air covering parts of the moon. Stars were not visible that night and apparently never are seen in New York. After every comic he read and every video he watched, he really thought that stars were just always there.

“Hey Raph, where are the stars? Are those not real too?” Mikey asked pausing on top of the roof. He watched a cloud of smoke cover the moon but it still managed to shine through.

“Nope, they are real. You just can’t see them here because of the constant lights coming from the TVs and stuff.” Raph replied, joining him in watching the night sky. April watched for a moment before glancing at the two turtles again. Raph and Mikey started blankly examining the slight smoke-covered sky. The void above them was of no interest to her, as she had grown up with it and seen it every day.

Donnie sat on his phone off to the side of his brothers. The void didn’t interest him either. He couldn’t get a signal like this in the sewers so he took this opportunity to collect data on things and other science stuff.

“Alright well, I’m heading out, I gotta exam tomorrow so I gotta get some rest,” April said pointing toward a nearby apartment complex.

“AWWW NO APRIL DONT LEAVE” Mikey pleaded with wet, yes, rushing to grab her by the ankle preventing her from leaving. It was crazy how a few hours ago he was scared and hated April. But now, he loves her like a long-lost sister. “Sorry man, I’ll see you some other time okay? Tell Dee to text me next time you are out!” She patted the now-crying turtle's head. “APRIL. NOOO!” He cried as she jumped down the metal stairs towards the bottom of the alley in front of them. Mikey shed ugly tears before he felt a light pat on his head. “She’ll be back, don’t worry. What we should worry about right now is that the sun is gonna rise soon so we should head back.” He shrugged towards the low moon. The orange turtle curled himself into a ball at his brother’s feet, continuing to cry. “Mikey. You met her like 7 hours ago.”

“But she’s my friend.” He wept.

“You’ll be fine. Donnie? You ready to go?” Raph asked turning his head partially to see the purple turtle.

“I guess. S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N must have bumped something when he was gonna and he needs repairs so I suppose we can head back.” ••••

“Okay but that witch man? He was so scary and so weird.” Mikey's voice echoed through the sewer tunnels as he shuddered at the thought of the old bearded man. “I think he’s homeless?” Donnie said, using the last of the signal before they entered the Lair. “Donnie don’t call people homeless-“

“BOYS.”

A rush of cold shivered through their bodies. They didn’t dare to move. ••••

Leo was abruptly awakened by a loud voice echoing through the Lair. Startled, he jolted awake and strained his ears, listening intently for the noise to repeat. Were his brothers home? Carefully, Leo crept through the lab, being mindful of the fallen markers on the floor. He peeked his head through the tall curtain, shielding his eyes from the bright white lights that were different from the usual purple ones he had used to.

“Where were you.” Splinter's voice growled facing the backs of the 3 turtles that were frozen in place.

“Papa, isn’t Lou Jitsu: The Attack of the Night, AKA your favorite movie, right now?” Donnie said making up an excuse as he spoke.

“That ended an hour ago.”

“Well, how about I go get you some milk and cake and you can go watch something else!” Mikey insisted and started scurrying off before a cold, pink tail wrapped about his ankle. Preventing him from going further. “Owww.” He groaned rubbing his head.

“Answer the question.”

“Okay sorry pops. We went out because it’s Mikey’s birthday and he turned 13, and you said when we turn 13 we can go outside.”

Leo watched the brothers make excuses for themselves pathetically. If they would have let Leo go with them then he would have had them out of this situation by now.

“I said when you turned 30 I’ll consider it, but I never said you're allowed out AT 13.” The rat screamed striking each turtle in the middle of their heads. They were forced onto their hands and knees bowing down to Splinter side by side.

“I knew he said 30.” The purple turtle grumbled.

“NOW YOU ARE NEVER ALLOWED OUT TILL 60.” Splinter scolded.

“WHAT?” The brothers screamed in sync, each perking their heads up to face the rat. “What about food and supplies? Who’s gonna get those?” Raph tried to convince his father. “Those need restocking? I thought they just appeared every week. Never mind that.” He rubbed his chin for a moment before deciding. “Hmm. Blue can do those.”

“WHAT?” They screamed in sync again. “Leo? Why Leo?” Donnie yelled in confusion. His arms started to ache from helping his upper body up. “Because he was the one who told me that you had left and he didn’t go because he’s a good child other than you three.” He growled at his bowing sons.

Donnie's eyes fell before he saw a spark of color in the corner of his eye. Leo. He stood behind the slightly parted purple curtain watching them. “Leo oh my fucking god, I’m gonna kill you.” He mumbled under his breath careful not to let his father hear.

The blue turtle watched his brothers before he saw Donnie lock eye contact with him. A glare shot visible from miles away shot at him.

Uh oh.

“We are super duper really sorry Dad,” Mikey spoke in a loud voice to seem more apologetic. His tone heightened to emphasize his apology. “Yeah, we are super sorry pops, won’t happen again.” Raph chimed in, joining his smaller brother in bowing his head down. “Yes, Father we are very sorry for our actions now as a form of punishment I will go to my lab for a while.” Donnie tilted his head down like the other turtles but did not dare to break eye contact with his youngest brother. His fingers clenched the solid concrete floor. He watched Leo sink back into his lab like water retreating down a straw. Splinter watched the turtles' display for a moment, his expression inscrutable. With a dismissive wave of his hand, he turned and walked back toward his TV room. "Yes, yes, that appears to be a satisfactory apology. Now, shoo."

The moment his father walked away, Donnie sprang to his feet, determined not to waste a single second. Raph followed with visible concern etched on his face. "Donnie? Are you okay?" he asked, watching his brother pause. Donnie's hands clenched into tight fists, anger coursing through his veins, ready to unleash itself on anything in its path. "I'm fine," he grumbled, his voice laced with frustration, and he continued his angry stride toward his lab. ••••

Leo sunk back into the purple lab. Crap, where can he hide? He looked for a place big enough to fit in but small enough to be hidden. Behind the desk? That was gonna be the best he was gonna get. He scrambled towards the desk but his foot caught on a black wire that connected to a charging dock of some sort. Leo's heart pounded in his chest as fear gripped him. His eyes widened, and his body tensed up. His breath became shallow and quick, betraying his rising panic. The box toppled towards him, but he managed to react in time, narrowly avoiding the impact as it crashed onto the floor

Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crappp. Donnie is gonna kill him.

“Leonardo Hamato.” A voice growled from the entrance to the room.

Shit.

Leo sat vulnerably on the floor. Falling in his brother's shadow. “Heyyyy what’s up Donnie.. uh how was New York?”

“Why the fuck did you tell Splinter that we left the lair.”

“Listen, dude, you didn’t tell me that Dad didn’t know you guys were leaving the lair and that I wasn’t supposed to mention it to him.”

“September 23rd, two weeks before Raph left the Lair for the first time to get food. He specifically told us not to tell Splinter, as Father told us we weren’t allowed out until we were 30 years old. I suppose you didn’t listen to that either, hm?” Donnie hovered over his wide-eyed brother. Leo was scared. He didn't know what to do.

“I-I didn’t… sorry.”

“Well, your apology is useless, as NONE of us are allowed out till 60 except for you because you played your ‘Papa boy’ tricks on him.”

Leo started blankly at his brother who was weirdly close to his face. Leo's fear and guilt become evident as he breaks eye contact. “I didn’t mean to."

“Well, you-” Donnie’s eyes drifted from the turtle to his lab. Markers and garbage scattered the floor, his almost finished but now broken battle shell laid on the ground, the bo sat on the wall, crooked as well as some other weapons upon the wall, and S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N rested on its charging dock covered in colors like Leo was. Donnie clenched his fists, his face turning red with fury. The veins in his temples pulsed as he struggled to control his rising anger. His voice trembled as he spoke through gritted teeth, his words dripping with venom, “What the fuck did you do to my lab.”

Leo looked down at his legs seeing the drawings that glowed in purple lighting upon his body. He felt so childish. So young.

“Answer. My. Question.” He hissed, his chest pumped up and down with fury.

“I’m sorry.”

“YOU IDIOT. LOOK AT MY LAB. MY IN-PROGRESS BATTLE SHELL THAT I HAVE WORKED COUNTLESS HOURS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ON IS DESTROYED. AND FOR WHAT? FOR YOUR ENTRAINMENT AT MY EXPENSE? You’re a selfish, immature, arrogant, BRAT who will do anything to get his way. The world doesn’t revolve around Leo by the way.”

“Dee, listen, I really didn’t mean to do any of this, I’m seriously sorry.” Leo got to his feet facing his brother. He felt small even though it was only 3-inch height difference.

“Save it, Leon. I’m not in the mode.”

“No, but Donnie-“

“I SAID SAVE IT.”

“CAN YOU PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO ME-”

A slap stuck in his face. It burned like the edges of fire when they hit your fingertips. Like a just-used match touching your skin. The pain blossomed into a numbing sensation, but its presence still lingered on his face, a haunting reminder of the impact.

The water in Leo’s eyes grew to tears that pilled at the edges of his eyes. He wasn’t even crying about the pain, he was crying from the emotions in him. Yet Donnie didn’t show even a slight glimpse of guilt through his hard, cold eyes.

“Did you just slap me?” Leo’s voice was straight and flat, not trying to show any feeling. He brought his hand up to feel the raw skin that burned at his touch.

“Yes, and?” Donnie raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms at his brother. Asserting the dominance and power that he had over him. It was almost like he was saying ‘It’s not that deep.’ to Leo. “I said save it, and you didn’t listen. You need to remember that you have consequences to your actions when you don’t listen.”

Words wouldn’t form. He didn’t know what to say to Donnie. At that moment, a surge of intense dislike consumed him, fueling a strong sense of hatred towards Donnie. “So what, I’m just gonna obey you because you’re my older brother?”

“That’s a great idea, now I need to clean up after somebody’s mess.” Donnie grinned at his success, stepping past his brother.

“I hate you.” Leo growled under his breath separating the curtain and exiting the room. He angrily walked towards his train car mumbling things under his breath, overwhelmed by his emotions. He threw his fists at it, unable to control his anger.

Voices rang through his mind. Each one overlapping the other.

…selfish, immature, arrogant, BRAT…

…‘Papas boy tricks’…

…The world doesn’t revolve around Leo…

…at least one of my sons knows how to listen to his father…

He threw the pillow down once more before resting his head on it. Leo stared at the posters scattered above him. For some reason it angered him to look at them so he turned his head into his pillow. It was harder to breathe but it felt good.

"Leo?"

note: i forgot to mention that the lady who asked for a photo with Mikey was a 2012 April O’neill design bc I hate doing self-inserts and OC inserts so I just took her design. it isn’t a 2012xrise fanfic but I just needed a design. I'm likely gonna do that with the side characters who only appear for a few seconds in chapters and stuff.

[lumidark166]

Digimon (Mainly Xros Wars sorry) headcanons/aus that I keep thinking from 2013 to now, that probably should post it online and then kept inside cause I was scared of the fandom back then lol

So.. how I am going to start this

Also, please don't give fandom hate in my replies/rb, I don't care if a media has a lot of flaws but there are some people who enjoy it so be respectful

Let's go with this first cause my head screaming for Legends crossover ever since I read a fanfic of Daisuke/Davis as Takuya's cousin and screamed about @/digitalgate02 blog about the Legends au (actually I still screamed about this for years ever since the crossover episode but at the time, only popular crossover fanfic with all Digimon characters was kinda disappointing and kinda not like characters at all, let say Taichi character on that fanfic is a dick, actually most of them are assholes that my younger self patient to wait a few years to see there new content but still less but hey, at least there new good fanfics)

Btw you can scream about shipping hcs I don't mind, I kinda still ship Kiritai but not much as my 9 years old did, however, please block me if you ship minors characters with adult characters

Xros Over with The Legends with new legends heroes (the legend heroes adult/teens here cause Xros Wars timeline is 2013 ish idk) :

The Legends is very worried about Taiki cause Taiki ain't hiding he is traumatized and feels about to snap, he even smiles about it like that not a big deal to him

Taiki will need to be dragged by other Legends cause that boy helping people non stop that he forgot his self-care

The Legends want Taiki to give therapy but Taiki always refused, but..

"Taiki-san, you need therapy.. what do you mean you didn't deserve to have a dream cause it's selfish???" (Taichi, Daisuke, etc)

"I don't need therapy besides a therapist probably can't deal with our adventures.." Taiki reminded them that no one would understand Digital World problems

"You know what, let's ask DATS to make a psychologists branch for traumatized Digidestined Kids" (Masaru)

"Wait, you don't need-" Taiki panicked

"As a president of Aonuma Corps, I will fund you a lot if they decided to make it"

"Wait, KIRIHA?!" (Taiki)

'Ah, of course, Kiriha gonna be Taiki's sugar daddy... For Taiki's well-being,' Tagiru and Yuu thought at the same time

Sorry, I can't make good fanfic in English, most of my time is using Indonesian so it's my first time

4. Once in a while, they would have a soccer match after ending an evil world ending Digimon for relaxing, let's say Taiki is so athletic and flexible he becomes Messi

5. Masaru can take care of Taiki even though he is bad at food related, if they lived in Digital World for a while, he would give Taiki poison berries cause he thinks it's food as long you can eat it. Shoutmon will in despair again and just shouted at them to live in his kingdom before Taiki eat that berries

6. Daisuke, Taiki, and Takato only ones that can cook properly but with Taiki low self-care, it's just two of them can handle it

7. Ever since Taiki can hear digimelody, Taiki can hear and talk to Digispirits and eventually became Agnimon gossip listener, more like a rant about Takuya being an idiot

8. They acknowledged that Taiki is smarter than them in strategizing but still wonder why he so bad at keeping his well-being

9. They really need to get used to Taiki passing out shenanigans cause they keep getting a heart attack

10. They wonder if they were a family, so they vote Taichi is the tired dad lmao

11. One time when they get asked most dangerous they did, Taiki answered to them that he almost die, why? Cause to escape a kingdom was needing Taiki's death data

All the legends atp want to pass out cause this kid is more self-sacrificial and have no fear of death

12. Taiki sometimes rambles to them about Kamen Rider all the time, he talk non stop about Shoutaro from Kamen Rider W and Takeru from Kamen Rider Ghost (Geez is that where Taiki learn recklessness from- /hj)

Xros Wars & Hunters :

Xros Heart Team is a pseudo-family, Taiki the Mom, Kiriha The Dad, Nene the Mom while Yuu the Child

Taiki is spoils Tagiru a lot even though he is a mentor because he see him as little brother too

Taiki kinda seen him in Tagiru after he knows that Tagiru risk his safety for his friends, he want to tell him that his safety also important but he feel hypocrite about himself so he decided to not tell him about it

If Akari can't take care Taiki for a while, Kiriha would go Taiki house with a private jet even though he was in America for a meeting but knowing Taiki, he knows he need to go there fast, he would barge in kicking his door and dragged him to eat and drink water

Tagiru secretly blame himself and think he is stupid because he think if he smarter enough, Taiki couldnt get hurt by Quartzmon, and he has secretly inferiority complex, that why he want to surpass Taiki. he see Taiki as a rival role model, multi talented kid he never become, once he do this with other kid when he was younger but people thought he an attention seeker child and have few friends, he cherished those friends that he risk his safety for them so he feel useful for them

Yuu realized Tagiru problems with his lack of safety that...

"Tagiru, I don't care, I will drag you down to Therapy center if that the last thing i do, i have money from Nee-san so you don't worry about the pay"

7. Taiki can't mad mad, he doesn't want to be mad so every time he feel angry that he start to cry

8. Kiriha secretly loves to spoils Xros Heart Team with expensive gifts

9. Taiki learn to give someone speech of friendship /hj and punch them from his hospitalized friend

10. Tagiru sometimes feel like doesn't deserve Taiki's goggles

11. Ever since Taiki can hear digimelody, he can play music pretty well, just not singing

Now to the AUs, i currently have one, this one that keep me brainstorming so much that went into my dream,

Timeline Fixers AU:

This AU inspired some from HSR, but there a twist

There also some suicidal tendencies so if you don't want to read it, skip it to other crossover

Tagiru is kinda similiar to canon but kinda chill but after prologue, his mischievous side rises

Prologue titled 'If he always do this, so i can too' : Tagiru and Taiki do school as usual, everything back to normal, Tagiru is junior in highschool while Taiki is a senior that gonna graduate but there actually wrong with Taiki but Tagiru doesn't know what so he ignore it until Taiki say anything but .. when he saw Taiki casually walk to cross the road while car gonna hit him, he knew he gotta save his mentor and pull him up, after that Taiki broken ever since, Kiriha think this is Taiki snap. Tagiru doesn't know what to do, he want to help him but Taiki look so broken then.. a voice heard his wish, a calm voice saying to his head, "Child Of Destiny, as 7th Legend Hero, your duty came again and try to fix this mess by dimension/space time travel then you can save everyone including your mentor, Taiki Kudou

"Fine then..."

"But child, do you think this is path you want to take, this journey will cost you a lot even your sanity and health"

"It's fine, if Taiki can handle a digimon war so i can too... no matter what, beside this is my payback for him, guiding me all this time"

"Good luck to you, Hunter" then Tagiru take a step in to a space time travelling Trailmon without looking back but he didn't saying a goodbye, not even to Taiki. All he thinks now if the core timeline be at peace, then he can come back

then in Frontier, Shinya become Warrior of Earth and celebrating with the team until an evil digimon attack them out of nowhere, then they lost and Takuya save Shinya life till the very end. Then he heard same voice as Tagiru heard and become a Timeline fixer to save his brother and friends.

this journey take a lot of patience cause fixing and guiding digidestined kids is hard when most of the time, they keep discreet

This aus have timeloop too so when they fail, the timeline reset and start all over again

Because they doesn't want to get recognized, they act discreet and act like a villain more like anti-villain/hero that help/guiding everyone little by little, at first they doesn't want this but after making huge progress with little time, the karma bit their backs and got worst ending so they know they need to stay away as possible and guide them not too much.

When they got caught, they used their fake name like Tagiru is Tsukasa, a reference to Tsukasa Kadoya from Kamen Rider Decade that a lot of dimension think he a villain and Tsukasa force being a villain for the sake of protecting the dimensions. He knows this when Taiki rambles about Kamen rider

while Shinya choose Kyousuke, a reference of Tsurugi Kyousuke, a character of Inazuma eleven, that once a villain but he become one cause he can pay his brother medical surgery etc, in nutshell, want to save his brother

Taiki situation is the same as Emu Hojo in the novel, inspired from that but Taiki situation realizing if he doesn't have a dream so he didn't need a college cause he think so selfish of him doing college even though he blessed being a child-prodigy so he think his life is selfish and become diasosiative state and yknow try to d word himself

While Emu in that novel is a young kid that rough life, have a absent parent that didn't care about him, make himself clumsy so he can go to clinic for affection, attention cause he never got that from his father, eat frozen food cause he don't know how to make food then play video games, he thought his life is a like game so he think if he died, he can game restart and he did by crossing a road even though the red light still on and a car crash into him, luckily he survived but he forgot why he did it in the first place

A/N : Tbh i thought XW written by Kamen Rider Ex-Aid writer cause how similar but no, it's actually Kamen Rider W/Drive, the most normal and not too angsty Kamen Rider i ever seen

Timeline Fixer basically Stellaron Hunters but Homura-fied and fixes every world/timeline danger secretly so no one knows and every timeline can be at peace so basically villains that actually not villains that guiding the characters little by little by giving hints and act like a mysterious villains that doing work in the dark, while talks mysteriously and giving mysterious hints

For now, i can think only two for this team, maybe i can add more if i can

After Tagiru became a Timeline Fixer, he suddenly more edgelord lmao but he still himself with more michevious side, basically like Kafka

Shinya somewhat a walking Informant so he can remind Tagiru the script of how its going to happen

The Timeline now a mess and the evil digimons that never seen before appear and not supposed to appear in the core timeline, and need to get rid of it by Timeline Fixers cause the digimons may cause harm to the timeline

Timeline Fixers came before Digidestined children started their hourney watched them far away so they know if there gone wrong or not

Tagiru and Shinya may be same age as before they take their journey as timeline fixers but mentally, they aged A LOT

Their digivice upgraded so much that look like a phone but still has D-Tector or Xros Loader functions with few edition which is can summon a weapon anything so they can fight with digimon partner, their weapons can be more damage if they bond with their digimon partner in sync so well

Tagiru's weapon is a scythe, when he and Arresterdramon in sync, the scythe give Tagiru Ability to sprint fast and past through living being like a ghost.

Shinya's weapon is Earth like knuckles fantasy weapon that help him control Earth powers

Tagiru realized this journey is hard, with his mistakes alone can make timelines messy so he need to serious about it. But like that mysterious digimon voice said before, warning him of the journey he take, this journey will give him a lot of despair, he seen his consequences when take a rash action and put a timeline more messy than it's should be.

As a Timeline Fixer, sure you didn't aged too much but your mental age will increase and increase your maturity too but you will suffer an eternity of regrets, sorrow and despair. But as long, you have Courage, Hope, Bravery, and Friendship etc (i forgot most crests so forgive me) alongside you.. you can breathe easily and fight that despair.

Gumdramon know Tagiru despair is like an abyss now so he take some of his despair so Tagiru didn't feel left out. Tagiru opposes this idea from the start cause he don't want Gumdramon berserk and lose his old self but Gumdramon disagree and do it anyway. He didn't go berserk and changed his form (? I have low knowledge of digimon) to Dark Gumdramon, his looks more menacing now but he still his old self, but more protective to Tagiru and Shinya.

that is probably that it's for now, there another au but it's still unfinished lol and sorry for the angst

hi :)

i'm so sorry, i'm new to tumblr so i haven't gotten the whole asks thing down yet. could you do 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, and 10 for the reed gang and also stannis baratheon? thank you!!! :)

Omg of course my love!!

1. What would their social media page/activity be like?

-I think Meera has a twitter and spam instagram where she complains ab her problems and wonders if she’s a lesbian in the captions of cute animal memes (im projecting) and Jojen solely uses his instagram to identify bugs and plants and sometimes rocks. Stannis has like a very professional Facebook page for his business/election campaign or whatever and he has like five followers and sometimes Robert comments under his posts while he’s drunk

3. My thoughts on their design/aesthetic alone

-god I have so many thoughts. Meera is just such a kind looking girl (and Ellie Kendrick made me gay) who dresses like a bog person and throws nets and spears 10/10 no notes I love you swamp wife. Jojen is similar but he’s a sickly swamp boy which makes me sad but it’s an interesting character design I care him. Stannis is soooo fucking good like having his brothers height and strength but none of their charisma and also he’s balding is actually hilarious. Absolute unit of a depressed man

6. Psychological headcanons (tastes, fears, talents, regrets, how they deal with anger, just anything that comes to mind on the topic)

-Jojen Reed Autism Swag thank you for listening. Like I said that child can identify the hell out of some rocks and bugs. Meera eldest daughter syndrome!!! She’s so scared of losing Bran now that she knows she’s gonna lose Jojen she wants to protect everyone and make sure no one’s sacrifice goes to waste it’s such a burden to carry :( plus she has to protect everyone to my babygirl is getting grey hairs. Stannis also eldest daughter syndrome! He is repressed he is dutiful he is angry he only ever did what was expected of him and got jack shit in return but he keeps on trudging on cause that’s what he has to do I want to bite something

8. Made-up connections with other characters that weren’t in the canon (friends, enemies, whatever)

-Meera and Dany are girlfriends and love each other this is canon to me actually. Meera and Robb would be friends I think and Sansa too :,) Jojen is such a little old man nerd I think he’d like hanging around Davos bc he respects little old man nerds (like Shireen, they would be friends too). And Stannis has never had a real friend in his life besides Maester Cressen and Davos but I think he has a grudging respect for Kevan Lannister. Dutiful second sons the both of them. Davos tries to get them to become actual friends bc he’s tired of being the only homoerotic codependent relationship Stannis has

9. Headcanons about their past

-I think Meera, not Jojen, has been raised to take over House Reed. She’s a natural leader and I’m sure Howland knows his son is gonna he paste anyway. Jojen probably used to want to become a Maester and study the higher mysteries before he got his death dreams :( Stannis was probably considered being sent to the citadel too, but I think Steffon decided he needed to stay by Roberts side to be his voice of reason which obviously turned out really well

10. Content about them I’d like to see more of

-I need more Meera fanart pretty please I miss ny baby girl. I also want fics of either her and Dany or her and Jojen and the starklings getting into shenanigans. I would love to see more Jojen dream analyses too, and posts connecting him to Cassandra and other literary references I live for that shit. I am honestly stuffed to the brim for Stannis content bc my entire tl is just Baratheon blogging but I will never say no to more fanart of him, sad old man stavos fics, or analyses on his character!!!

👹DEEMO THE MOVIE 👹

ok ive had multiple people (rightfully, I am the biggest Deemo fan) ask for my review of the Deemo movie and why it was so horrible. This is going to be a primarily negative post LMAO but there was a few things I liked so ill include those at the end. I might need to break this into 2 posts

First off the movie was listed as a dub showing and it was shown as a dub? Which I personally didn't mind being as I am already used to Alices original voice. So in front of the movie they played this Q and A interview with some due who worked on the movie, not affiliated with rayark. EVERY question they asked this man sounded as if he didnt give a shit and just wanted to finish this movie. He talked about how it was originally gonna be a tv series with 2d animation to which I immediately wanted to scream and die. He said because of the pandemic everyone had to record in separate spaces so no one recorded in the same place or time (which I know isn't their own fault). He said they treated each musical segment as a individual music video, and boy did they. It made everything feel so dethatched. It was a really bad decision imo. They asked this man if there was any emotional attachment to any specific character and this man was like "they are all good characters but I was more focused on exploring them as characters than getting attached" (WHICH THEY DIDNT EVEN DO. BUT ILL GET BACK TO THAT). AND this man had the audacity to call Mirai a secondary supporting character or "oc". MIRAI IS ANYTHING BUT THAT?!?!? They made he sound SO unimportant when shes Alices most treasured thing.

Moving on to the actual movie as we could all see its visually disgusting. Alice had like no expression I couldn't even tell she was crying half the time because she just looked so neutral and the tears blended in with her skin so much. they literally made Alice remember her name within the first 5 minutes of the movie??? Which defeats the whole plot of her trying to remember who she is and where she came from? I felt that removed such an integral conflict to the story. The nutcracker was the most annoying thing I've ever seen I wanted to strangle it. It literally served no point besides "comedic relief" (he wasn't even funny but ok). They also called Mirai "Lord Mirai" for no explained reason?? 😭 LIKE WHY?? IT WAS SO RANDOM LMAO. Mirai was also changed from a girl to a boy which shows their attention to detail of the original story is sub par at best. SPEAKING OF THAT. Alice flat out never calls Celia "The Masked Lady" which again. removes such an important plot point imo. She flat out asks Celia her name and Celia says her name is "SERIA" HELLO?!?!?!! WHY DID THEY CHANGE HER NAME. THE POINT OF "CELIA" IS TO SPELL ALICE!!!! More than likely a translation error, BUT THEN FIX IT??? Alice isn't even supposed to know her name. The pacing of the movie was absolutely horrendous.

They skipped the basement with suspenseful third day and the the entirety of the upper floor with the balcony. After that super hell scene or whatever that minecart thing was they just crash into the last upper floor. It was SO rushed. So much so the characters had no time at all to even build relationships with one another. Deemo and Alice felt SO distant the entire time they hardly even interacted it just felt so fake and like they had no connection at all. ALSO THIS IS THE SUPER FUNNY PART. so I knew the truck scene was gonna happen and this theater was LOUD AS HELL. so I was preparing for that scene, and the impact of the truck was SO LOUD it literally shook the whole theater, like you felt the sound inside of you. AND THEN IT WAS JUST QUIET FOR A FEW SECONDS. FHGORHRHRHF IT WAS HILARIOUS TBH IT WAS LIKE A JUMP SCARE. And for the final part they used the piano model for the piano in the basement for suspenseful third day??? not even the actual end piano. With the end scene they didn't even play Fluqour. HOW CAN YOU JUST NOT PLAY FLUQOUR THE MOST IMPORTANT SONG IN THE GAME?????? It ruined the vibes of the ending. It didn't even feel sad or emotional it was just Alice screeching like a bird.

The Sakura note thing with Alices two school girl friends was pointless. The plot of the cut between them and Alices dream world was so Alice can figure out a repressed melody with the help of these two girls. So they show scenes of them bonding and trying to find the chart and the professor (which I find really creepy in a Noah from cytus ii way) reveals that Hans wrote it. AND A THE END THEY DONT EVEN SHOW THEM COMPLETING THE MELODY??? they just leave it hanging with Alice going to go preform an assumingly completed melody. THE FACT THEY MADE ALICE FORGET ABOUT HANS PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH TO NO END. IDC IF THEY WANTED TO TRY A NEW ENDING. It bothered me SO much. The point is that she will never forget him and always hold him close to her heart, not pull a Paff and forget he even existed. I was just personally offended by that im not even kidding.

So moving on from all the negativity i have some things I did actually like (not a lot though). The Leviathan part kinda slapped, not in the visual execution but in the story aspect. So at this part Celia gives Alice a chart she "found" and Alice gives it to Deemo to play. The chart is actually a cursed chart and Deemo plays it and once he starts playing it curses him too and doesn't let him stop playing until the song is done and the tree is destroyed. He wasn't in control and it was his fault the tree was destroyed. THAT was really sad and then Alice just cried uncontrollably. There was another part right after where she goes to sleep and Mirai is literally soaked in her tears. She (im referring to her as a she. because shes a girl.) had a flashback to a previous memory and said something along the lines of " i remember a time where i was so loved" and it cuts of a scene of her on the floor with stuffing coming out because of how loved she was ;-; it was really sweet. Celias character COULD have been good, like there was an attempt to further develop her character but they kinda fell flat and again rushed the story so her development was rushed too.

NOW FOR THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE MOVIE. THE DAMN CREDITS. THE CREDITS WERE STUNNING. they were watercolor type illustrations that were done digitally so as the credits rolled there was a handful of images that came across the screen and they legit made me cry because of how beautiful they were in comparison to such an ugly movie. the art was SO ADORABLE and told the story of the movie better than the actual movie did.

Overall I hated this movie, Deemo is my special interest of 8 years and i left that theater feeling physically ill because of how upset i was. I was on discord with my friends having a literal mental breakdown. I know its just a game but it means so much to me and i was so upset that it was 10x worse than I expected it to be. I really wanted to love it, but it never got the love Deemo deserved. Once they made it into an NFT that was the official death of this project. If you read all this congratulations and please do not pay to see this movie wait for someone to yarhar it.

me running away from this shitshow movie

[ccerealsoupp]

10,000 miles away (yet I’ve never felt closer to you)

Kageyama tobio / Hinata shoyo

Rated T, 2.2k, post timeskip

...............

Outside of Tokyo Haneda Airport, a teary-eyed set of goodbyes are occurring between the Hinata family and their son; their, as Hinata’s parents would say with pride, star, who is moving across the world from their small town of Musashi Japan to Brazil: to improve strength and skill in order to pursue his dream of becoming a Professional volleyball player.

Hinata hugs his mother tight, “Mom, thank you for always believing in me. It was you who first let me play volleyball, and your constant love and support have gotten me to where I am today. I couldn’t have done it without you.”. He doesn’t mention it when he hears her sniffle slightly, just closes his eyes and hugs her tighter.

She pulls away and cups his face gently. “Shoyo, go do big things, my golden boy.”, she smiles and kisses him on the cheek, drying her eyes with a handkerchief.

He moves to his father, embracing him as well. “Love you, Dad. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, what am I going to do without you?”, he smiles into his shirt.

His dad laughs, clapping a hand against Hinata’s back. “I’m sure you’ll figure something out. You’re a Hinata, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

A small force thunks against Hinata as his little sister tackles him, clinging to him as if she grips hard enough it’ll ground him to the island. “Why do you have to go so far away . . ? I’m gonna miss you so much, Sho.”, she mutters against his shirt, voice quivering with tears.

“I know Natsu, I’m going to miss you like crazy,” Hinata tells her, patting her head comfortingly.

“I’ll come home during the summers though, and maybe you can convince Mom and Dad to take a family trip to Brazil. If you come I’ll take you to a theater to watch a ballet performance, that’s a promise.

They have really fancy ones there you know? And make sure you get Dad to record every one of your recitals, I want to see them all.” She nods, sniffling into his t-shirt and leaving a damp patch behind.

Finally, he turns to Kageyama, his best friend of four years; and despite knowing what great opportunities Brazil will bring, Hinata finds himself wishing he didn’t have to say goodbye.

His heart hammers in his chest. The letter hidden in his jacket pocket suddenly feels as if it weighs a hundred kilograms; carrying the weight of years of longing glances, wistful daydreams, and secret feelings.

He wraps Kageyama in a bear hug and tries not to let emotions get the better of him, to focus instead on making this moment last. He smiles when he inhales and is hit with the scent of jasmine and sage, the smell of home.

For the last 4 years, they’ve been practically attached at the hip. For the next 2 years, they’ll go months without seeing each other, the longest separation of their lives (Excluding of course when they didn’t know each other).

He tries to keep things light and bury the thought that leaving Kageyama behind feels as unnatural as leaving his own head.

“Don’t you go replacing me while I’m gone, okay?”

Kageyama rolls his eyes and lightly punches Hinata’s shoulder. “As if I could. Nothing and no one could ever fill your dumb shoes.” His eyes are glossy with tears threatening to spill over, but Hinata pretends not to notice.

Kageyama hated showing vulnerability in front of anyone besides him, and he’d already cried plenty in Hinata’s bedroom last night which he proclaimed was “So embarrassing, I can’t believe I’m crying over you, Boke.”

Hinata pulls the letter out of his jacket and quickly presses it into Kageyama’s hands. It was now or never, his one perfect chance to confess everything he’s been too scared to say to Kageyama’s face, too tongue tied to even mutter in person.

“I wrote this for you. Don’t open it until you get home.”

His family gives him a knowing look, and he hopes he doesn’t look as sweaty as he feels when he responds with a pointed expression that screams "Please be subtle." Kageyama looks at him in confusion, but finally nods in understanding. They hug once more, heads tucked into the other’s shoulder, a final goodbye.

Hinata walks into the airport, turning to wave as the doors close behind him with a bittersweet smile on his face.

The airport processions go by without a hitch.

He checks in his luggage (Praying that nothing will be missing by the time he gets to Brazil), gets through security, and finds his gate with plenty of time to spare before his flight. Still, he feels a nervous stiffness throughout his body, each nerve ending a taut wire.

It was a huge decision he made, packing up his life and moving across the globe to follow his dream.

Well, one of his dreams.

He thinks of Kageyama and a future of waking up every day to the sight of him bathed in the

soft morning glow of sunrise, of golden bands sitting comfortably around their left ring fingers.

He thinks of the letter and how he poured out the contents of his heart in black ink against porcelain sheets of paper.

It had taken him dozens of times to get it just right, now he just hopes his feeling will reach Kageyama.

He decides to get Starbucks, perhaps some tea will help put him at ease. As he waits for his name to be called, he checks his watch. It’s been thirty-five minutes; Kageyama should be home by now.

Hinata wonders absentmindedly when he’ll read the letter, and whether or not he’ll hear from Kageyama before he boards.

That’s what he wants, or at least, he thinks it is.

Maybe it would be easier on him if he was already out of Japan when he finds out what Kageyama’s reaction is, but he’d rather carry a broken heart all the way to Brazil than have the other stress out waiting for Hinata to come down to earth and reply.

Miles away, Kageyama takes out the letter from his pocket.

He carefully rips open the vanilla envelope and extracts the folded pages, placing them down on the coffee table. Whatever Hinata has to say to him, it must be important.

He grabs the first page with a sigh, settles into the crook of his couch and begins to read.

My dearest Tobio,

Any idea about when you'll be able to update His Kingdom to Keep??? 👉👈 I have been waiting patiently for an update for more than a month now and it's like the best post-canon kp fic out there and i really, really want to know how Porsche will go on about being the mafia head and how his and vegas' relationship will work out and what is going to happen to all the problems brewing between kinn and porsche. I went and read the story again and now I am literally dying out of curiosity. Can you give me a hit as to what's gonna happen or even when you can post or at least something???? Please don't abandon the fic 🙏🙏🙏

just so you know, i wasn't gonna continue with the fic at all because the plot i had in mind is angsty and I'm kinda scared of writing angst. but then i got your ask and i couldn't stop thinking about it and bam! I'm writing it now. there's probably 10k of it now? i have a lot more things to cover in the next chapter so it's taking time. plus i have another fic to work on too. but know that it's coming. and fair warning, it's gonna be super angsty (but you're the one who made me continue so you'll just have to deal ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯).

also since the chapter is taking time, I've decided to include this non-angsty snippet from chapter 2 just for you -

“Get off my front lawn.”

Kim and Porsche sprang apart as a bullet chipped off the wall in between them. They turned as one towards the steps leading up to the house where Vegas was standing, gun in hand and an annoyed expression on his face.

“Not your front lawn, you fucker.”, Porsche felt necessary to point out.

“I grew up here and last time I checked, I’m still the only one who calls it my home. So I believe it still counts when I tell you to – Get. Off. My. Fucking. Front. Lawn.”

“And last time I checked, squatters don’t have ownership rights in Thailand.”, Kim grumbled from beside him.

Well, it was nice to know Porsche at least ranked above Vegas on Kim’s list of people he liked.

Vegas raised his gun again, this time aimed right at Kim’s head. Porsche wondered if Kim had ever noticed that he puffed up like a squirrel gathering courage to steal nuts when he was expecting a fight. Fuck his life, he could actually see what had drawn his brother to this piping-hot mess of a person.

“Boys.”

All of them turned around to see Pete who was leaning against the wall with a look of severe disdain on his face.

“I’ll kick all three of you out if you don’t stop your squabbling right now and resolve your problems in a civilized manner. You’re creating a scene.”

He aimed a pointed glare at each of them separately and walked back into the house, brushing past Vegas without a glance on the way in. All three of them were left standing there looking at each other like dumb stooges before Vegas caved, clicking the safety of his gun back on and following after his boyfriend. Porsche contemplated his options for a moment and then moved to follow him only to stop when he heard Kim snort. He turned to look at the younger man, then with a sigh grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and dragged him along.

“Let me go!”

“Nope.”

“Fuck you!”

“No, thank you.”

[thehandwitch]

thinking about ford calling shermie shortly after coming through the portal because he hasn’t spoken to his older brother in thirty-something years — he was kind of bad at keeping contact, okay — and he misses him. (and also, yk, as far as ford’s aware shermie thinks stan is dead and that ford owns a kitschy tourist trap, and he really needs to rectify that.)

and it’s probably like 5am when he calls but shermie picks up a few rings in with a sleepy “hello?”

and ford’s heart stops because he can barely believe he’s hearing his big brother’s voice again, and it takes a few long seconds before he finally says “shermie, it’s stanford.”

“stan? hi! what’s going on? are the kids okay?”

“the kids— yes, yes, they’re okay. they’re great, actually.”

“so why are you calling? i’m not complaining, i wish you’d call more, but it’s a little out of character.”

“… speaking of that.” and ford pauses because he didn’t exactly plan on how he was going to broach the whole ‘hey stan is alive and has been pretending to be me this entire time’ thing.

he settles on asking: “did you ever find it strange that i started wanting to go by stan after— after stan passed?”

he expects shermie to say something like ‘no, i figured you were just grieving’ but instead the pause on the other end of the line stretches out until shermie says, slowly and tearfully, “ford? is that you?”

and ford breaks. “yes,” he whispers because if he speaks at a normal volume he’s certain his voice will crack under the weight of his emotions. “yes, it’s me. shermie, how did you…?”

“you think stan could fool me? i grew up babysitting you punks. the two of you switching places tricked me maybe three times before i got smart. and then you got me a few more times when stan realized he could wear your gloves with an stuffed extra finger, but i ended up developing a sense for it. i knew from the second he called to tell me about his death.” shermie scoffs, and then quiets. “stanford… what happened?”

“it’s a long story.”

“i’ve got time.”

“i’m afraid you don’t understand. it’s… an exceedingly long story.”

“well, i’ll make time,” shermie says and then pauses. “is stan still around? is he okay?”

“yes, he’s … he’s here.”

“and you’re not still mad at him, are you?”

“well—”

“after forty years, ford?”

“it’s complicated!”

“then explain it!”

and ford does, he explains, he fills in the gaps of his own side with what stan told to the kids and that gopher-looking man and lays most everything out in the open (except for bill, he’ll never, ever tell anyone about bill) and at the end shermie is dead silent.

eventually he says, “if you weren’t you, and stan weren’t stan… i don’t think i’d believe any of that.”

and ford sighs and says “yes, that’s understandable.”

and shermie says “well, you know what i’m going to tell you now” and gives ford this excellent monologue about how he needs to mend things with stan, and ford knows he’s right but he’s still just so bitter and all he says is “i’ll consider it.”

the conservation wraps up with shermie telling ford to tell stan to expect a call from him very soon and then they hang up. and ford just. leans his head against the wall.

and from the end of the hallway, stan says “yeesh, i was really not looking forward to having that conversation. thanks for handling it for me, sixer.”

and ford can’t even find it in himself to be mad at that because he knows shermie is going to unleash the world’s wisest and most annoyed three hour rant upon stan the next time they speak.

(ford doesn’t warn stan about the phone call either, even though shermie asked him to. he thinks stan deserves it.)

anyways. yeah. thinking about that.

[therealhughiecampbell]

Ok so idk if this is how it works, but I’m drunk so can you do a lil post of Butcher helping Hughie get home after a night at the bar and it’s hilarious but maybe Billy also being a lil softie while taking care of Hughie thanks I love you

Sorry for the wait, wanted to make sure this was right and to get approval from my darling @therealbillybutcher 💛

——————

So, it’s not often that Hughie gets shitfaced. Not often at all, actually, especially now when his life is constantly on the line from Supes and all that fun stuff. But oh boy.

He and Butcher had another argument. Something about Hughie not being up to this or his friendship with Annie or him getting in the way or all of the above. Hughie didn’t care. At this point, he was seven shots in, and he didn’t have a care in the world.

Unbeknownst to him, Butcher, in a moment of guilt, had followed Hughie. The man was watching from the back of the bar fondly as Hughie laughed at everything and nothing.

When Hughie went for another shot, that’s when Butcher intervened, scaring Hughie so much he nearly fell off the stool. “That’s enough, lad. Time to go home.”

Hughie put up a good effort, but Butcher came for him. He cared enough to make sure he got home okay. So Hughie just silently looked at him before beaming. “Yeah, ‘kay, Billy.”

So began the process of Butcher helping Hughie home. The poor boy was a giggling and flailing mess, but that only endeared him to Butcher, who watched it all with a fond smile that he would deny to his grave.

By the end of it, Hughie was on Butcher’s back, arms around the man’s neck and legs around the man’s waist after having stumbled and fallen one too many times.

Making his way into their latest hovel, Butcher ignored the others and took Hughie into his room, laying the boy on the bed and sighing. “Don’t move, ya hear me? Gonna pop off and get you some water, ya brat.” He said before moving out, ignoring MM’s attempts to talk, and grabbing a glass of water and some pills for the headache he knew was coming for Hughie.

Returning to his room, he caught Hughie as he was changing, pulling on one of Butcher’s Hawaiian shirts with a pout as his hair got stuck on a button. Shaking his head, Butcher set the glass down and helped the lad out. “There now, couldn’t ‘a waited five bleedin’ seconds?” He teased before pressing the glass to Hughie’s lips. “Drink or you’ll regret it.”

Hughie just smiled widely up at Butcher. “See? You do care.” He said, before quietly sipping at the drink. Once it was about halfway gone, Hughie blinked blearily at the older man. “Y’re a good man, Billy…” he murmured as he snuggled down onto the bed and was out like a light.

Butcher just looked down at Hughie, curled up on his bed in his shirt, and sighed. “Am what you made me, lad. My canary indeed.” He said with an amused huff. He gently eased the blankets from under Hughie and tucked him in, carding his fingers through the lad’s hair before moving to turn off the light. He got into come more comfortable clothes before laying on the bed beside Hughie, above the covers so as not to freak the poor boy out when he woke up. “I’m sorry, Hughie. I’m sorry. Don’t want you ta go, but this ain’t safe for ya.” He murmured before closing his eyes. “Gotta keep you safe, Hugh. I’ll watch out for ya, don’t you worry. Don’t you worry.” He murmured before letting sleep claim him too, content in the knowledge that Hughie was ‘home’ and that he was safe.

Urgent eyes darting over the vicinity of your apartment, you hardly spared the light haired boy a glance. “‘Calm down?’” You asked incredulously, flapping your arms around as if that would solve the issue of smolk. “I’m not sure if you’ve noticed yet, but our house is ‘burning.’” The bits of ash stung your arms, smoke seething against your eyes.

“I’m aware, I’m just asking you to get off the windowsill.”

Looking down at your already prepped foot right on the metal of the only opening the room, you flashed him a glare. “Uhm… no? I’ll have you know I have things to do and places to be, I’m a very important-”

“‘Y/n,’” Albedo interrupted, exasperated. “Please, come here.”

“No!” You shot back, “‘You’ come here, you aren’t going down in flames with your lab experiment. No matter how important it was.”

You could slowly see the patience from Albedo’s face melt away. An incredible feat, it was far too bad you didnt have the time to admire his ticked off face. “And you plan to jump off and break a couple bones?

“Better than death by fire.”

This time, the alchemist simply pointed to the experiment table, unable to form words.

“Yes and? I already know you messed up your experiment.”

“And,” he continued, irritated. “The table is the only ‘damn’ thing on fire. ‘The only thing on fire.’ The entirety of the house is just ‘dandy.’ Now help me put it out.”

You removed your foot of the ledge. “Oh, now that you mention it…”

Albedo put a hand to his head, sigh escaping as he rubbed his temples. “You’re almost worse than Klee… no, scratch that. You’re worse. Klee wouldn't have run away, she has the decency to stick around and out the fire out.”

“I thought it as a life threatening situation!”

“Mhm,” he hummed, displeased. “Whatever you say, get over here.”

Venti

Your drunk figure stumbled across the plain of grass, arms outstretched as you spun around. The wind rushed past your face, cool against the heat that ran through your veins. You felt dizzy, the world spinning in circles around you.

“Hey!” You spun around, foot sliding around the grass as you struggled to keep yourself from falling back. “You- you over there.”

“Yes?” The bard spoke, whisking the alcohol bottle in his hand in circles. He too had chugged a few too many bottles, but nothing to get him as wasted as you were at the moment. “And I do have a name you know- I’m aware you’re drunk, but it still hurts to know you’ve forgotten it~”

Squinting your eyes, you racked your mind for a name. “Oh.. uh…” It took only a moment till the name flashed in your name, and with a giggle, you turned back around. “Venti!”

“Yes?” He responded, this time with a wide grin.

All that stretched in front of the two of you was a wide field of grass, a grand tree, and a hilichurl camp. The two of you were too far away to quickly make it to the tree, and far enough not to arouse any suspicion with the monsters.

Of course your focus was on the hilichurl encampment.

“Look!” You pointed to the wooden pillars perched upright, two or three hilichurls dancing around a fire. “Lets destroy it!”

Venti nearly choked on the beverage in his mouth, swallowing it before he let out a chuckle. “Destroy it?” he repeated bemused, staring at your knocked up state. “I’d be surprised if you managed to make your way there-”

As if to prove him wrong, you started sprinting.

“Uh oh- hey! That wasnt what I meant!!” And he was sent racing after you.

By the time you made it to the camp, the Hilichurls had taken notice of you. All three of them standing up with some kind of weapon in hand. Your joyous laugh sent shivers down their spine, wobbly walk making them back up.

You were ‘scaring’ them.

“C’mere,” you cooed, arms wide. “I don’t bite.”

“Yes you do,” Venti mumbled once catching up to you. Too low for your ears to catch.

When the hilichurls didnt move, you whirled around to grab the vodka from his hand. A high percentage of course, Venti couldnt get drunk on normal wine or too low of a vodka. With a squeak of surprise, he reached for the bottle.

But it was too late.

You’d throw the bottle right at the hilichurls, who dashed away right at that moment. They abandoned camp and sprinted towards the meadow to find some refuge in the trees.

But that wasnt the end of the chaos.

Oh no, the bottle just ‘had’ to spill its contents onto the grass. And well, knock over a torch light stand while it was at it, which meant what? Fire.

“Its burning!”

“Oh dear…”

Venti pulled you away from the camp, sending a gust of wind to pick up the remainder of whatever was burning and put it out. “What am I gonna do with you…” he whispered in a groan. You happily skipped alongside him, giggling at his remark. “My little menace.”

He made a mental note not to bring you to the tavern again.

Side note - No Hilichurls were harmed during the raid-

Ayaka

“‘I’m saving her.”’

Hanging on a tree just beside the Kamisato residency, you and Thoma crouched on a single branch, tipping from side to side to regain balance before falling. That wasn’t the main issue, because just beside you was Ayaka, trapped in a burning building as she frantically tried to put the fire out.

“I’m her bodyguard,” Thoma beside you seethed, pushing you lightly to get you to move. “Therefore its my jobs to protect her, move.”

You shoved back, “And she’s the girl I love, got an issue with that?” You stuck your tongue out, “Or maybe you’re just ‘jealous’, wanna play hero and get her to fall in love? Too bad, you know we’re a thing, get over it.”

“Do you ‘want’ me to hurt you?”

“No thanks, save that for your new girlfriend and your bsdm kinks.”

“HEY- I DONT HAVE-”

But you’d already jumped, grabbing with both hands onto the window ledge and hoisting yourself up. The smoke hit you, burning your eyes and making your nose scrunch up in distaste. If this was your first reaction- how was Ayaka?!

You looked around, spotting the girl trying to put out the fire. It wasnt a big one, in fact it was just the cooking stove and a tinge of the carpet was on actual fire. The rest was just too much smoke, and a coughing Ayaka spilling water over everything.

Racing over, you began stomping on the flames of the carpet. Noticing you, she put her attention on the stove, and the two of you managed to clear away all the fire in no time.

It was when she put her hand over her mouth to cough that you realized you needed to get her out of there. Picking her up with ease, you cradled her in your arms as you dashed to the window. You didnt want to know what the rest of the house, and if there was any more fire, Thoma could put it out right?

Unfortunately for you, that wasnt even your main worry as you made it to the window. Water had somehow made it just below the windowsill, and instead of jumping out with precision, you slipped you with Ayaka in your arms, screaming out in surprise.

So you did all you could do, tuck her in your arms with your back to the ground and hoped you didnt die.

“‘Umph’- holy you’re heavy.”

You weren’t dead but…

‘Being in Thoma’s arms is worse.’

His face said the same, so he dropped you and instead held Ayaka in his arms. You watched as his face morphed into one of worry and compassion, “Princess- are you alright?”

“I was the one who caught her!” You blurted from your position on the ground, stumbling up to stand.

“And I caught both of you,” he corrected, flashing her a grin before giving you a look of distaste. “By accident, it was by pure luck that you happened to be holding onto her.”

You flashed him the middle finger, “Well your jobs done, saved the day, now fuck off.”

“‘You’ fuck off.”

“You have no reason to be here.”

“And leave Ayaka with an incapable fool? How did you slip out of a ‘window?’”

“Water you dumbass, now let go of her before I beat the shit out of you-“

“Ha- I’d like to see you try.”

Meanwhile, Ayaka rest cradled against Thoma’s chest, a look that your bickering was getting to her, and that she was seriously getting ticked off.

“Can you both just ‘shut up?’”

Scaramouche

Everything was ‘burning.’

Scarlet flames licking the wooden planks, crackling as splintered logs came crashing down and silenced by the background screams. Chaos strewn from side to side, a contrast from the normal pace of your footsteps, the calm collected look on your face.

“That was fun,” you simply stated to the boy beside you, squeezing his hand. “We should do it again some other time.”

He squeezed your hand back, a gesture far beyond him. However, he didnt reply, just walking alongside you with your hands interlocked and casually walking away from the crime scene.

Side note - you could really tell I got hit by writers block on the last one ;-;

Depression

Pairing: Wolfstar x Fem!Reader

Word count: 3034

Includes: TW suicidal thoughts, depression, mentions of missing meals, crying, fluff, hugs, angst to fluff, comfort

Do not post any of my work anywhere else!!! I’m fine with reblogs but not with people stealing my work. 

Notes: I have depression, this fic is kinda based off of my experience with depression. I wanted more than anything for someone to notice how badly I was struggling and I was in desperate need of a hug. I can’t change the past but I can write down my thoughts, feelings and what I needed at the time.

Thank you @quindolyn for helping me to fix a couple bits and for helping me decide on the ending xx

Depression is completely unpredictable. You might feel on top of the world one minute and suddenly feel miserable the next. You smile around your friends and family hoping that they don’t notice that anything is wrong but deep down you just want someone to notice, to care, to ask you how you are or just hold you while you cry it all out. You want to die yet you can’t bring yourself to do the actions that would end it all because that scares you even more than living.

Lately, you had been feeling very happy. Remus and Sirius were wonderful boyfriends and would do everything they could to make you laugh or smile. Your favourite moments with Remus are the ones where he decides to cuddle with you, there is nothing more relaxing than just resting your head on his chest and listening to the thump of his heart and his steady breaths.

The best moments with Sirius are when he tries to make up his own jokes, most of the jokes he tries to tell aren’t even funny but that somehow makes it funnier when he tells you a bad one-liner whilst in detention. The sweetest thing about Sirius is that when you least expect it he curls up on the bed and sleeps next to you as Padfoot. It’s the sweetest thing ever waking up in Remus’ arms to Padfoot lying across your chest, Remus just watches over the pair of you with a smile upon his face at seeing his two lovers sleeping so peacefully.

This morning you had woken up and felt like crap, you couldn't quite place it so you skipped breakfast and had a lie-in instead. This caused you to miss your first lesson and most of lunch. You managed to go to your next lesson though which was Charms with your boyfriend Remus.

At first, you tried to concentrate but you felt like a cloud had settled itself over your head causing you to struggle with your work.

You’d been feeling better for a while now but for some reason today had just left you feeling miserable. For the rest of class, you sat with your head in your hand gazing out the window.

Remus could tell that you weren’t paying attention to the class and was starting to grow concerned. “y/n, you okay?” He whispers in your ear.

Not wanting to draw any attention to yourself or bother him, you just nod and force a smile in the hopes that you could pretend that everything was fine.

The bell rang a few minutes later signalling the end of the class period. You had History of Magic next, Remus wasn’t in that class with you but Sirius was. Remus walked you to your next class observing your behaviour.

You weren’t smiling and didn’t speak at all on the way there simply looking at the ground. Remus stopped with you at the classroom door and gave you a soft kiss on the cheek. “Are you sure you’re alright love? You know you can talk to me if something is wrong.”

Looking up at him you sigh. “I’m fine,” you say quietly before turning around and walking into the classroom.

Remus was growing very concerned with your behaviour, something was clearly wrong but you weren’t telling him.

Just then Sirius walks down the corridor. “Moony, decided to switch classes have you?” He jokes.

Not wanting anyone to overhear the conversation Remus grabs his arm and pulls him over to an empty classroom shoving him in the door.

“I need a favour,” said Remus in a serious tone.

“What Moons?” replies Sirius, confused at the sudden change in Remus’ behaviour.

“I need you to watch y/n for me and make sure she’s alright. Something is wrong and I want to help her but she won’t tell me anything.” blurts Remus.

Sirius pats him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry Remus, I’ll keep an eye on her.” Sirius leaves the empty room and proceeds to walk into the History of Magic classroom.

Sirius seats himself beside you but you don’t notice at first because you are spaced out not paying any attention to the lecture being given by Binns.

You felt like crap to put it simply. You wanted to focus on your classes so badly but your brain was just telling you no.

Your brain is running at a hundred miles an hour making you feel even worse. *I’m going to fail all of my classes. Why am I so useless? Do the boys love me or do they just tolerate me? Nobody loves me, not really. I wish I was dead, why can’t I just die?*

You feel slow tears make their way down your face. You sniffle softly not wanting to bother anyone.

Sirius quickly notices your tears as you sniffle next to him. *Moony is right* thought Sirius *something is very wrong.*

Sirius reaches a hand out to yours underneath the desk and gives it a gentle squeeze as a reminder that he is there for you.

Finally, you have enough of your self-deprecating thoughts and abruptly stand up, grab your things and leave despite only having twenty minutes of class left. Sirius gets up and follows you, grabbing your hand as you leave the room.

The pair of you walk silently through the castle until you get back to the Gryffindor common room. Sirius seats you at the couch in front of the fire before grabbing your bag and chucking it aside.

Sirius sits down next to you as you stare into the ornate fireplace with tears still slowly rolling down your face. “Y/n love, what’s wrong?” He softly asks.

Instead of answering him, you rest your head on his shoulder. Sirius brings his arms around you to pull you into a hug. The pair of you sit like that for a while, listening to the crackle of the fire and your sorrowful sniffles. Sirius simply holds you whilst tears slowly roll down your face.

“I'm sorry, I’m just tired. I think I’m gonna go have a nap” you say softly.

“Alright doll, I’ll see you at dinner then?” He asks.

“Yeah, I’ll be there,” you tell him knowing full well that you wouldn’t be in the mood to eat.

Leaving Sirius in the common room you walk up to the boys dorm and throw yourself down on Remus' bed. Grabbing a discarded sweater from Sirius’ bed on the way. You curl up in a ball under the covers on Remus’ bed before letting the tears fall down your face again *why can’t I just feel happy for once in my life? I always fuck everything up, I want to die*

Sirius watches you walk up the stairs to the boys dorm before letting out a sigh and putting his head in his hands. You had never been like this, you were usually so bright and cheerful something bad must have happened because Sirius hadn’t seen even the slightest smile all day.

The bell for the next lesson rings and Sirius remains sitting on the sofa in the common room contemplating what he should tell Remus. He didn’t want to make his friend even more alarmed but he couldn’t hide his feeling of concern for your breakdown in class.

Remus enters the common room behind a babble of second years who were complaining to each other about their homework.

Spotting Sirius on the sofa before the fire he rushes over to sit next to him.

“Where’s y/n? Is she alright?”

Sirius takes a deep breath before sitting back on the sofa. “No, I can see what you mean Rem, she’s very upset.”

“What do you mean?” replies a panicked Remus

Sirius turns to face him and puts a hand on his shoulder. “Look mate I don’t want to worry you but in class, she just sat and stared into space, then she started crying and walked out.”

Remus let out a pained sigh and ran his hands down his face before clasping them in his lap. “Is she okay? where is she now?”

“I walked her back here, we had a cuddle for a while then she said that she was just tired so she left to have a nap,” replies Sirius

Remus stands up from the sofa and brushes his sweaty palms off of his trousers, “let's go and check on her.”

Sirius rises off of the sofa too, he turns around and looks around the common room before turning back to Remus. “Maybe she just needs space, she told me she’d come down to dinner so let's just give her some time alone and if she doesn't come to dinner then we can go and check on her.”

Staring into Sirius’ stormy grey irises Remus stays standing for another minute before nodding and sitting back down.

The boys study in the common room for an hour in complete silence, both of them preoccupied with thoughts of their distressed girlfriend. Sirius and Remus then head down to dinner, sitting down at the end of the Gryffindor table closest to the doors so that they could spot you as soon as you walked in.

The boys sit and pick at their food mindlessly for ten minutes continuously watching the door in hope that you’d join them for the meal.

Sirius lets out a deep sigh and drops his fork on his plate rubbing his brow before looking at Remus. Remus looks up at him offering a small smile before standing up. “Come on Pads, our girl needs us”

Sirius quickly stands up and grabs Remus’ hand dragging him out of the great hall. The boys briskly walk hand in hand back to the Gryffindor common room and quickly ascend the stairs to the dorm.

Remus opens the door quietly in case you are sleeping and peers in, he feels his heart break as he catches sight of you. You are lying in his bed fast asleep with puffy eyes from crying.

Remus approaches the bed and sits down on the side closest to you. Gently he starts to stroke your face with his hand whilst gesturing for Sirius to come over to the bed with his other hand. Sirius kneels on the bed next to Remus, reaches out and starts playing with your hair.

Remus watches as you slowly awaken, your eyes fluttering as they adjust to the light in the room. “Darling are you alright?” He asks you softly while rubbing his thumb over your cheek.

You feel your eyes fill with tears but don’t want the boys to see them so you roll over and put your face in the pillow hoping that they leave you alone so that you can compose yourself again.

The boys look at each other trying to figure out what to do next. Remus nods at Sirius gesturing for him to try and get a response from you.

“Baby, why didn’t you come to dinner?” You still don’t respond, making Sirius panic. “Please talk to us, we want to help you.” This makes you feel even worse, they just wanted you to be happy but instead, you’d caused them to leave dinner to look for you.

Your body starts to shake as the tears start rolling down your face. You keep the sobs in not wanting to make them even more worried.

Remus carefully runs a hand over your back worried at the lack of response. “Y/n please talk to us, we love you baby we only want to help you. It’s killing me that you are this upset and we want to be here for you.”

This is the last straw and you lose control of your crying, finally letting out the sobs that had been building up all day.

Remus’ heart breaks even more “Oh baby, come here”. Remus turns you over and carefully pulls you into his lap.

You press your head into Remus’ neck and let out all of the emotion that had been held within you all day.

Sirius sits down next to Remus and yourself at the head of the bed, he runs one hand soothingly up and down your back. “It’s okay baby, it’s okay.”

Your entire body shakes with sobs, tears soak the front of Remus’ sweater whilst the boys continue to make attempts to console you.

Remus rocks you in his arms carefully trying to calm you down. “Shh darlin’ it’s okay”

You start hyperventilating from the force of your sobs, Remus pulls you back from his chest slightly brushing hair away from your face.

Sirius reaches out to you and picks up one of your hands, he brings it up to his chest so that you can feel his steady heartbeat. “I know you're upset baby but you’ve got to breathe. Can you do that for me?”

Sirius breathes in and out slowly emphasising each breath for you to follow. “In...and out, in…and out.” This continues for a few minutes as you try to regulate your breathing.

“Good girl, you’re doing such a good job baby”

The sobs slow down slightly as you regain control over your breathing, tears still fall down your face but not as quickly as before.

Remus cups your face in his hand wiping away stray tears with his thumb before pressing a solitary kiss to your temple. “Y/n, what’s wrong? Please tell us” he begs.

You let out a sigh, opening and shutting your mouth a few times trying to come up with something to tell them.

Sirius notices your hesitation and gives you a reassuring smile. “It’s okay love, you can tell us anything. I promise you that we’ll try to help you and nothing you say can make us love you any less.”

Looking into his eyes you see nothing but love and concern. You sniffle and wipe one of your sleeves across your face. “I don’t know, I just don’t feel good”

Sirius runs a hand through your hair before giving you a sympathetic smile. “Is it that time of the month baby? You feelin’ sick?”

Tears well up in your eyes again. “No” you reply softly “I don’t feel sick”

“Then what is it babe?” asks Sirius with a small frown on his face.

You consider lying to them for a moment not wanting to burden them with your thoughts and emotions but in the end, it’s the pleading expression upon Remus’ face that makes you give in.

You take a deep breath, “sometimes I just feel really sad, like nothing will get better. I feel like no one loves me. I don't want to bother you guys because I don’t want you to leave me.”

The tears fall down your face again as you turn around and put your face back into Remus’ sweater, your fingers have a firm grasp on him as if letting go would make him disappear.

“Please, please don’t leave me, I’m sorry” you beg them as you cry into Remus’ chest.

Remus feels tears well up in his own eyes but swallows them down in order to comfort you. “No no no, sweetheart, it's okay. I promise that we aren’t leaving you.”

Remus holds you even tighter in his arms “I wish you’d told us that you were feeling like this sooner darling. We love you so much”

Sirius sits in silence listening to Remus comfort you before lifting a hand and rubbing your back. “Look at me baby,” he says with a stern tone.

You look up at him, he has a more pronounced frown upon his face than what was there previously but it softens slightly when he realises that you are watching him.

“You need to tell us when you feel like this okay? You aren’t bothering anyone, we just want to help you and we would never leave you over something like this.”

You remain silent looking away from him, the tears slowing down again so all that remains are the odd couple every few seconds.

“Promise you’ll tell us when you feel like this baby?” He asks, holding your face in his hands.

You sniffle softly before agreeing “m’kay, I promise”

“Good girl, you’re such a good girl for telling us baby,” he says fondly before placing a soft kiss on your cheek. As he pulls away from your cheek he gets a mischievous look upon his face. “Hey babe, what do you call a cow with two legs?”

You look at him confused for a minute before saying “I dunno”

He leans in towards you with a grin upon his face as though he is telling you a secret “Lean beef”

This causes you to giggle, Sirius smirks whilst Remus chuckles. The boys are pleased to hear you laugh after having been deprived of such beautiful sounds for an entire day.

“Good one wasn’t it?” He asks with a cocky smirk on his face.

“No” you reply, still slightly giggling.

“No!” He repeats back to you in disbelief. “What do you mean no? I thought it was a good one”

Remus raises an eyebrow looking at Sirius “c’mon Pads, you can do better than that”

“Fine, I’ve got a better one” huffs Sirius. “What does the perverted frog say?”

“I dunno” you reply again trying to keep a straight face.

“Rubbit” he replies.

This joke was much funnier than the last and you burst out in laughter. You have joyous tears of laughter pouring down your face as you giggle until your sides hurt.

After a while you yawn and rub your eyes, Remus smiles affectionately at you before moving you off of his lap changing positions so that you are laying half on Remus’ chest with Sirius spooning you from behind.

“C’mon darling, let's get some sleep,” he says quietly.

Sirius buries his face in the back of your neck before mumbling out a quick “I love you”

You settle down into their embrace, relaxing all of your muscles and just as you are dozing off to sleep you feel Remus run his hand through your hair as he whispers “I love you darling, more than you will ever know.”
