- landonowinss BROS PROBABLY REGRETTING RN 💀
(time skip!)
it was the hungarian gp. you were in the mclaren hospitality. the mclaren kitchen was quite big, and your co-workers were extremely sweet. you mainly cooked for the drivers and mechanics, while guiding the others. you were tasting a dish when you feel a presence behind you. you immediately recognise who it is.
"what is it now, lando?" you ask with a knowing smile on your face. he sits down on the counter beside you and watches you as you work. "i was wondering if you would like to, maybe, just maybe, come outside with me and sit down and talk and get some food you know?" he blabbers
"are you asking me out on a date?" you tease him. "well, yeah. only if you want it to be. its okay if you say no" he says with a sad smile on his face. you cup his face with one of your hands and give his cheeks a squeeze. "ofcourse i'll come, dumbass. now shoo, let me work. you're too distracting"
the smug smile he has on his face makes you blush. "so i am distracting huh? what else am i? you can give me details when we go on that date" he winks at you and walks off. you just simply shake your head in amusement.
the date goes well. to be honest, more than well. you both have the most fun ever. lando is everything that you craved. he was the sweetest boy. day by day, meal by meal, both of you started talking more, discovering each other. one fine night, in his apartment in london, where you taught him how to bake his favourite cake, he surprises you by asking you to be his girlfriend. you say yes without hesitation. you knew he wasn't going to play around with your heart.
it was the brazilian gp. lando had placed P2 again! you were the proudest girlfriend to exist, and the happiest. you were just so incredibly proud as he was doing so good this year.

10:45pm with bang chan - a @cosmicalily timestamp
author’s note: okay hello so where was mr christopher bahng when i was stressing and studying like crazy for my exams? also first channie fic (everyone claps) highkey embarassing that it took me so long apologies to my bahngers
warnings: discussions of anxiety and stress to do with university/school
Tumblr media
“Do you want a pudding? Minho dropped them off for us.”
You didn’t reply, body sprawled across the couch. Chris shrugged, assuming you were asleep, picking the small plastic cup up and rifling around in the drawer for a spoon.
“I’m so overwhelmed,” you said suddenly, your voice cracking. He stopped in his tracks, letting the spoon and unopened pudding clatter to the counter. He approached you, gently, resting his hand on your cheek, moving his thumb to wipe under your eye when a tear spilled over.
“Come here,” he said, putting his arms around you as you crawled onto his lap, wrapping your legs tight around his waist. He rubbed circles into your lower back, letting you shove your face into the crook of his neck and dampen his sweatshirt with your tears. “I’m sorry, sweet girl. You always have too much on your mind.”
You sobbed at his kindness, holding him tighter. “It’s just all this shit with my assignments, and then work, too. I keep covering for people but when I’m the one who’s sick, nobody covers for me. And then there’s that girl who just pulls apart every fucking thing I do.”
“That friend of a friend?” Chris raised an eyebrow. “What a bitch.”
“I know, I hate her. I hope her lash tech absolutely botches her next set, eyes swollen, no space between,” you huffed, and Chris laughed.
“That’s my girl, let it out.” he smiled, giving you a kiss on the cheek. “Is there anything else you’re still stressing about?”
You sighed. “That assignment. It’s making me nervous, even though I know I can do it. I just don’t want to.”
“You’re the smartest person I know,” Chris said honestly. “I don’t think there’s anything you’ve done to your ‘worst ability’ that anyone else could do to their best. It’s not everything, baby, I promise you.”
“It’s a sixth of my outcome-”
“Out of the other five parts that you’ve already smashed out. I’m always proud of you, you know that, and it’d make me proud to see you let yourself go a little. I’m here, you know, you can always tell me this stuff. I have the space in my mind for it if it starts to overflow from yours.”
You gave Chris a kiss on his nose, then his cheek, then his lips. “Thanks, baby.”
“It’s what I’m here for.” He hoisted you up, carrying you into the kitchen and setting you down on the counter. He stood between your legs, taking time to properly wipe your tears and press gentle kisses onto your lips. Chris tore off the foil lid of his pudding and dug his spoon in, pressing the cool metal against your mouth. You opened, smiling, letting the cool custard melt onto your tongue. It was comforting, not just the food, but sharing it with him.
He slung one arm around your waist, the other holding his spoon, taking a mouthful for himself then offering one to you. It felt good to have something substantial in your stomach; whilst Chris always made sure you ate properly when studying, you never gave yourself the time to actually enjoy the food, or to have something as a treat. Your stomach would cramp after the third coffee and the second energy drink, but now, it felt calm. 
“You’re too good to me,” you looked up at him, eyes shining.
“Nobody’s good enough to you, sweet girl,” Chris replied. “I wish I could stop everything and give you a moment to breathe. It’ll be over though, someday. I’ll make sure of it.”
“And we can live in a pretty house by the beach with a dog and make out all day?” you asked, giggling.
He smiled. “That’s the dream, baby.” He pressed a kiss to your forehead. “That’s the dream,” he repeated, pulling you in close.

Pleasee could we have Ruby's favourite uncle, Pierre, babysit her and its just chaos
uncle duties | pierre gasly
uncle pierre <3
Ruby couldn’t wait to see her uncle Pierre. She had a whole list of activities she and Pierre were going to do from making brownies to playing outside in the backyard. Y/n and Charles had a doctors appointment to get an update on their baby. Arthur and Lorenzo were busy and Pascale was working so Pierre was their only option.
“Uncle P!” Ruby ran to Pierre as he entered the Leclerc household.
“Ma beauté! Ready to spend the day with me?” Pierre picked up the girl.
“Can I paint your nails? Papa lets me do his.” Ruby asked.
“Good luck mate.” Charles said to Pierre. “Say bye to maman and the baby. We’ll be back soon, okay? Be good for your uncle or I’m selling your toys.”
“Bye maman! Bye baby! Bye papa!”
Pierre and Ruby waved the couple goodbye and once they were gone, Ruby asked Pierre to put her down. “Okay baby Leclerc, what do you want to do?” Pierre followed Ruby to her playroom.
“Maman and papa said I have to practice french. You’re French. What do you say? Say french things! What’s my name in French?” Ruby excitedly asked.
“It’s Rubis. But how about we practice the easy words. Je t’aime, have you heard that before?” Pierre asked.
Ruby nodded. “Papa says it to maman all the time. But then maman says it to papa and I heard her say it to the phone but papa was next to her so she wasn’t saying it to him! I don’t know who she said it to!” She ranted as if her life depended on it.
“She said it?!” Pierre gasped. He knew how little kids were, they overshared and exaggerated pretty much everything so he played along.
“Yes! And papa didn’t say anything! Do you say it?”
Pierre nodded. He noticed some toys scattered around Ruby’s playroom so he picked up a small replica of Charles’ Ferrari and rolled it around the floor. “Yeah, I say it to my friends and family and your Aunt Kika.”
Ruby gasped. “I love Aunt Kika.” She whispered it like a secret.
“Me too.”
“No, I love her.” Ruby frowned when she heard Pierre. “I think she loves me more. She told me.”
“Lies. I love her more. She’s dating me.” Pierre felt silly for even arguing with a child but he wanted to see where the conversation would go. “And I kiss her.”
“Ew.” Ruby mumbled. “I can do a flip. Want to see?” Ruby stepped aside and cleared a path so she wouldn’t hurt herself during her landing. She then did her ‘flip’, but Pierre still clapped for her.
“Wow! Who taught you that?” The Frenchman asked.
“I saw it on tv. Papa told me to not do it because I could get hurt but I know how to do it. I’m going to do it again.” She announced but Pierre stopped her. Charles would kill him if Ruby ended up with a broken bone.
“Come on, let’s go see if your parents left you any snacks.” Pierre grabbed Ruby’s hand and led her to the kitchen. Once he reached the refrigerator, he opened it and saw pudding cups next to a container of cut up fruits. Ruby spotted the pudding cups and pointed to them.
“Maman gives me those.” Ruby said, hoping Pierre would give her one. “I like them.”
Pierre grabbed the container and closed the door. “Fruit is better.”
“Says who?”
“Everyone. Your maman and papa eat fruit and they love it.” Pierre told the girl. “Here, eat it.” He opened the container and picked up a cut up strawberry.
“You eat it.” Ruby pushed the strawberry towards Pierre’s mouth.
“If I eat it will you eat one too?” Ruby nodded. Then Pierre bit into the strawberry. “Okay, now you eat it.”
“I’m not hungry.”
Ruby didn’t end up eating anything so the uncle and niece went outside to play. “The neighbor has a pretty dog. Her name is Harry.”
“Harry? Who names a dog Harry?” Pierre chuckled.
“Or bailey, I think it’s bailey. But I like Harry better.”
“Bailey is a better name.” Pierre watched “You want me to push you on the swing?”
“No, you get on.” Ruby suggested. “I’m strong. Papa said so.”
Pierre walked to the swing and debated whether or not the swing would be able to hold him. “Are you sure? I’m not small.”
“You’re giant. Get on!” Ruby raised her voice then gasped when she realized she had yelled. “Please?” She smiled at Pierre.
“Okay but if I break it I’m not buying you a new one.” Pierre said hoping that would change her mind.
“It’s okay, papa can use his number card to buy me a new one.” Ruby had different names for normal everyday things so she referred to Charles’ credit card as a number card.
Pierre got onto the swing and waited for Ruby to push him. He felt a her tiny hands on his back, but no matter how much she pushed, he wasn’t moving.
“I thought you were strong?” Pierre teased.
“I am! You’re big!” Ruby groaned. She wiped away some fake sweat and returned to pushing. “Why can’t you be like Yuki? He’s small.”
“I’m sorry, at least I can reach the top shelf? Can you do that?”
“I can, I just don’t want to.” Ruby walked to the other side of the swing to face Pierre. “I’m taller than a girl in my ballet class and she’s sometimes mean to me.”
Pierre listened to her. Someone was being mean to his niece? That was unacceptable.
“What’s her name?” Pierre asked.
“Sarah. And she pulled my hair one time!”
“And do your papa and maman know?”
Ruby nodded. “Yes and Sarah’s maman knows but she didn’t want to talk to my maman. She wanted to talk to papa. And then she touched his arm and smiled at him.”
“Oh no, and did your maman see?”
If someone had told young Pierre that in a few years he would be gossiping with his best friend’s daughter then he would call them crazy.
“No, but I did and I told maman.”
After more gossip was shared in the backyard, it was time to go back into the house. Ruby raced to the house after Pierre told her that the first one to the door was the winner. Once she was inside, the doorbell rang. Pierre was still outside so she decided to open it to reveal a blonde girl with the neighbor’s door.
“Oh, hi, little girl. Is your papa home?” The girl asked. The Leclerc’s neighbor was an old woman whose name was Patricia. She was nice and always gave Ruby cookies and let her pet Bailey the dog.
“Why do you have Bailey?” Ruby asked completely ignoring the girl’s question.
“She’s my grandma’s dog. I’m visiting her.” She replied. “Is that your papa?” She pointed to Pierre, who had finally come inside.
“No, that’s my uncle. Who are you?” Ruby asked.
“Ruby, don’t open the door when I’m not here,” Pierre scolded his niece. “Can I help you?” He asked the blonde girl. Ruby didn’t like her one bit. She reminded Ruby of Sarah, the mean ballerina from her class.
“My grandma was talking about Ruby and how much she loves Bailey so I just thought it would be fun if I brought Bailey here to play.”
“She asked for papa.” Ruby told Pierre.
“Well I haven’t introduced myself to your papa and I wanted to be nice.” The girl replied. “Ruby said you’re her uncle? I didn’t know Ruby had such an attractive uncle.”
Pierre cringed at the girl’s attempt to flirt. “Well sorry to say this but we were actually going to the store.”
Ruby grabbed Pierre’s hand. “Yeah, and we’re going to see Aunt Kika! And she loves my uncle.”
Pierre tried to hold in his laugh. “Nice to meet you.” Pierre told the girl and locked the house with the key that Charles had given him a year ago. Ruby and Pierre walked to the car lightly laughing at the whole situation.
“Are we going to get ice cream?” Ruby asked.
“Yes, you deserve it.”

I was wondering if you could do dad drew based of this video https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6Z8HtbA6MA/?igsh=MXdsc2hwdzFxd2c3Ng== idk if you still take requests tho but I hope you do cause I love your dad drew series 🫶🏼🫶🏼💗💗
Baby Whisperer
Pairing: Dad!Drew Starkey x Reader
Warnings: Feel Inadequate As A Father
Pronouns: She/Her
Word Count: 0.6K
A/N: I saw this reel before you requested it and it was so cute! Thank you for requesting it!
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Sometimes it’s like babies speak a different language. This became even more clear to Drew when his baby girl began to speak. Drew remembers the first time he was able to understand Joy’s babble clearly. Her first word. Dada. However, since the milestone, not all words were coherent to the actor. 
Drew lies on the stomach on the floor in front of Joy. She sits upright with a pillow behind her to provide comfort. Her pudgy hands grip the blocks and she brings them to the box with different shape holes at the top. She plops the toy into the correct hole. “Yay,” Drew cheers, clapping in celebration. The unexcited reaction from the toddler tells the father it is time to move on from the activity. He sits up and brings her onto his lap. She stares up at him, wondering why he stopped their game. “Hmm, you are bored. Aren’t you?” he questions. “What do you want to do?” Silence falls over them. The look in her eyes shows the gears are turning in her mind. “Pack!” she exclaims with elation. Drew’s brows meet at a point, “Pack? What do you want to pack, Baby?” 
She repeats her words, “Pack!” “Do you want a backpack?” he tries. The confusion on her father’s face begins to frustrate her. “Pack. Pack,” she whines. Her tiny fist kneads at his shirt. 
The high-pitched cries of her daughter summons Y/N to the living room. “Hey, what’s wrong?” she inquires. Her footsteps carry her in front of her little family and she rests her hand at the bottom of her dad’s back. Her husband looks at her with matching distraught to their daughter. “She’s trying to tell me something and I can’t understand her.” Y/N nods, “Go on, Baby.” Joy calms her tears. “Pack.” Her voice is small, fearful her mother isn’t going to understand her. “Pack.” It takes the mother a second to process the information. “Ohhh, Snack Pack. You want pudding, Baby?” 
Relief flashes over the girl's face and she nods vigorously. “Pack! Pack!” Both parents look at each other with understanding. “Okay, Baby. Let’s go get you some pudding,” Drew announces, dancing his way into the kitchen with his baby girl in his arms. 
The couple gets their daughter settled with her snack. She sits in her high chair and her father is in front of her, spoon-feeding her the dessert. The silicone tip of the rounded utensil follows the cover of the baby’s bottom lip to scoop the excess pudding into her mouth. As she chews the food, Drew puts the spoon down and smooths back her growing hair. “It’s so cute how satisfied she is with the pudding.” Y/N smiles at them, “It is. I think it might be her new favourite snack. I mean, did you see how angry she was getting when we couldn’t understand her.” Drew frowns, “Not we. When I couldn’t understand her. You swooped in and were a baby translator.”
“What’s wrong, Drew?” 
“I’m her father. I’m supposed to be able to help her and I didn’t even know what she was saying. I failed her.” 
Pain pangs through her heart and she places her palm on top of his hand. “You didn’t fail her. You may not understand her verbal expressions yet, but I know you can read her non-verbal ones just like one of your scripts.”
“What do you mean?”
“I could hear you guys from the other room, Drew. You guys were playing with the blocks and then you randomly asked her if she was bored. She didn’t cry or express it verbally. I know you saw that she wasn’t excited anymore so you switched tracks. A father who failed their daughter wouldn’t have noticed her boredom.”
Her words don’t fall on unlistening ears and he flips his hands so they hold onto each other. He gives her a small smile, leaning in for a kiss. “Thank you. I think you might be a Drew Whisperer too.”

EYYY!! I recently found you in this app and I just gonna say your content is pretty great! Is it okay if I put on a request? Like what would the blue lock characters call their S/o? ;) any characters is fine to me but I hope Nagi and Kurona will be included hehe- Good work btw!
❥ fandom: blue lock
❥ includes: nagi, kaiser, bachira, chigiri, kunigami, shidou, kurona, hiori & reo
❥ notes: hi!! i really loved writing this request, so thanks for sending it in! i thought really hard about what kurona would call his s/o (literally took days), and fell in love w/ his character in the process :)
❥ warning(s): hmm…kurona might be ooc IDK but i like this kurona!
Tumblr media
you are nagi’s little angel. he low-key started calling you that as a joke (he used to find couple nicknames a little cringe), but eventually, he grows to love your reactions to the name. you smile at him, a lot, and it gets him out of trouble 90% of the time. “come back to bed, angel… ‘m asking nicely, aren’t i?”
kaiser switches it up like no man’s business. he’d been calling you by different pet names since before you got together so, you’re pretty used to it. i’d say he rotates between babe/baby, love and princess. honey bunches and names of a similar strange nature are saved for when he feels like teasing you. mein kaiserin (my empress in his native tongue) is only used on special, romantic occasions. like, when he tells you he loves you for the first time. or when he’s trying to get his family to understand just how serious he is about you. <3
bachira switches between love and sugar. sugar-plum when he wants to embarrass you. bachira is definitely one to tell you that he loves you quite a lot, he just doesn’t want you to forget, i suppose! giving you ‘love’ as a nickname is a way of reminding you of the fact rather than declaring how he feels 24/7. sugar is just another name he likes. it sounds good coming from him, and you usually get a kiss after he uses it, which is of course a bonus. “eh? you’re asking me how i think you look today? you look perfect, sugar! always do.”
chigiri refers to you as his darling. the nickname is beautiful, and elegant, just like he is. it’s easy to get flustered, having him call you that. chigiri likes the fact that he’s able to bring about such an adorable reaction.
kunigami doesn’t call you by this nickname often. actually, he uses your first name most of the time, mostly out of habit (i’m thinking friends-since-forever turned lovers), partly because he feels a little embarrassed giving you a nickname and using it in front of others. BUT ANYWAY, kunigami refers to you as pretty. he’d first called you it by accident, but since you seemed elated by it, decided he’d continue to use it on occasion. “tell me what’s going on in that head of yours, pretty.”
SHIDOU CALLS YOU SWEET GIRL. (🫠🫶) + similar variations like, sweetie or sweetheart, or sweet cheeks. snookums is reserved for when he’s about to tell you he’s done something that will probably annoy you. reason for the nickname? well, you’re sweet! you’ve got a good heart, and won’t swing for people if they say/do anything you don’t like. “are you gonna kiss me goodbye, sweet cheeks? or am i gonna have to chase ya?”
kurona primarily calls you pudding. his reason for it? “i like pudding, and i like you.” i feel like he’s kind of a private person, and only opens up when he feels totally comfortable with someone so, it’s only used when it’s just the two of you around. HOWEVER. private as he is, i think kurona’s got this other side to him. he likes to tease you, just a little. say for example, you’re giving him the silent treatment. he’ll still try and talk to you, but will eventually get tired of not getting any attention. and then, “hey, y/n? can you pass me some napkins?” “…” “…ah, right. you love being called pookie bear, don’t you. POOKIE BEAR, WILL YOU PASS ME SOME NAPKINS?” he’ll pull this kind of stunt in front of your mutual friends when you’re having breakfast together (or something of a similar scenario!). it’s embarrassing, but it gets you to talk at least. he likes having you address him, even if it’s to tell him to, “stop embarrassing me, idiot!”
hiori calls you pumpkin. a little on the cheesy side, but i think it suits him! he isn't embarrassed about referring to you by the name in public either. it shows anyone who might be questioning your relationship that you're definitely together. if it embarrasses you, he'll do his best to tone it down. no promises that he'll never say it though, hiori simply can't help it!
reo rotates between a lot of sweet sounding nicknames. precious, my love, honey. i don't think he does this on purpose, but reo loves using 'my' before a lot of nicknames too. it's just an unconscious reminder that you're all his, and honestly, he's all yours. reo would be all in for any relationship he pursues, and nicknames come with the territory. bonus: he'd be absolutely over the moon if you gave him a cute nickname too. sure, he'd be a little embarrassed if his friends teased him about it, but his heart would swell with pride. being known as the 'sickening, lovey-dovey' couple isn't a bad thing, you know!! "My love, remind me what you wanted me to get you at the store later?"

Colby Brock - oh baby
Summary - you have you nieces for the night with your boyfriend and decided you'd like to make a big step in your life together.
Word count- 1660
Warnings -none I don't think .not proofread
Tumblr media
You woke up extra early this morning so that you could make sure the spare room was ready for your older nieces and so you could set up the travel cot in your room ready for your youngest niece.
You was surprised when you heard the deep morning voice of you boyfriend "need a hand with that" he suggest finishing with a chuckle as he watches you struggle with the cot that would soon have your sleeping niece in .
*Later that day*
I cleaned away the mucky faces on my nieces (Sophie 4 , Rosie 2 and Maisie 7months) .With a wet rag slowly wiping off what's left over from a chocolate pudding . "Do you two want to go and play in the living room?" I suggest to the oldest two girls .A quick reply from them both of a yes when they get up and walk towards the living room , I can already hear the mentions of ballerinas and a Princess tea party falling from their mouths .
I put their plates and spoons in the sink ready to be washed when I have a spare few minutes .I put all my attention to the babbling, chocolate covered face baby."do you want some more peach?" I ask her as if she can respond back to me .I finish the last spoonful of chocolate pudding as I move the spoon towards masie's mouth.
I look up as I heard the sudden sound of the tap running , to see Colby wiping the small plastic plates and small plastic spoons ."how can two small people make so much mess" he laughs as he picks up the sponge now strained a dark brown due to the chocolate.
"How was your hike love?" I ask him now wiping the baby's face free from chocolate as I place her on my hip .He kisses my head and replies "nice and quiet baby .How has it been with the girls ?"."been great my love although if you go in the living room there is a high chance you'll end up at a princess tea party" i say as i make a bottle up for the giggling baby thats reaching out for Colby.
"Can I have a cuddle " he asks , I hand him the bottle in one hand and Maisie in the other ."she's due a bottle babe , she takes it better in the rocking chair in the living room" I inform him as he follows me through to the living room where the older girls are playing.
I'm bombarded by my nieces "auntie y/n will you play ballerina with us please?" I walk towards the girls as Colby settles down in the rocking chair with the cooing baby .
"Okay but for half an hour and then it's bath and bed for you two" I tell them " why is Maisie allowed to stay up and We're not " Sophie asks insisting it's not fair ."because she has a different bath to you two , then she'll have cuddles and then baby Maisie will be in bed too " I tell her.
I spend what feels like forever playing ballerina , prancing around the room with my nieces following my lead and the occasional turn , hop and skip .I look up to see colby taking the odd picture or us 3 trying our best to be most delicate ballerinas we could be .
I look up to hear Colby singing humpty Dumpty to Maisie as she watches him in awe .She looks so tiny in his hands , I can't help but wonder how he would be if him and I had children of our own .
"Right girls it's time for bath and bed now" im responded with a few sad okays as I place rosie on my hip ."Sophie can you get yours and Rosie's pjs please , I'll put them on the radiator while you bathe so they're Extra toastie" I ask my oldest niece she doesn't respond instead she runs up the stairs to the spare room where I can hear her rummaging through her bag in hunt of the pjs .
"Are you okay sitting down here babe or do you want to come up with the baby?" I ask Colby ."I think we'll stay here , masie's think my singing is great she told me so herself" he says with a laugh he gestures for me to give him a quick kiss ." Call me when they're going bed and I'll come to say night " he says as im walking up the stairs still with rosie on my hip."alright love" i quickly shout back.
I lay both sets of small PJ's on the radiator as I put both girls in the bath , they're surrounded by rubber ducks , Dolly's and endless amounts of bubble . They look like little angels sitting on a cloud .I take the shampoo ready to wash Sophie's soft brown curls ."auntie y/n?" She asks ,"yes peach" i reply she smiles at the nickname she's had since birth."are you and Colby every going to have babies?" "Erm I hope so one day , why , would you like to have some cousins?" I ask confused.
"Yeah I think it would be nice , we'd have more people to play with when we come here" she replies so innocently "how are babies made?" She asks after a second of silence before I can give her a answer in which I was going to go down the stork route.Im cut up by a laugh , i look to the door to see colby and Maisie in the door way ." Just ask your mummy she'll tell you how babies are made " I tell Sophie .
"Are you two ready for bed now gremlins" I say as I pick Rosie up from the bath rapped in a towel and go to do the same with Sophie ."Colby can you come on and the close the door babe please , Rosie's new favourite thing is to run out of doors when she sees stairs"i inform him as he walks further in and closes the door still with maisie on his hip.
I get the girls dressed , moisturised and hair brushed into little plaits ."okay teeth time" I say cheerfully handing Sophie her brush already with toothpaste on .I do the same with Rosie's toothbrush as she sits on my lap .
"Bed time" i sing as Colby opens the door for the girls to walk to the spare bedroom , I give Rosie a kiss on the head as Colby gives Sophie a kiss on the head l.We then cross each other as I walk towards Sophie's bed to give her a kiss and for Colby to do the same for Rosie ."night girls , sleep well love you i say as i turn on the night light and close the door.
Colby hands Maisie to me as we head downstairs ready for some quality time with the little one .when i reach the living room i see that colby has already cleaned away the older girls toys and placed a mat and baby toys ready for Maisie.
I lay her down surrounded by her toys as I lie beside her on my stomach."do you want a drink love?" Colby asks me kissing my cheek ."please " I say looking into his blue eyes he walks off and returns holding some tea for me and coffee for him .He places the mugs up high as he lays down on the other side of Maisie with one of our fingers each in her hands.we spend the next half hour babbling and playing with the sweet baby until I notice her yawns are more frequent." I think someone is ready for her bath and bed now" Colby whispered nodding his head towards the baby ," I'll go start putting her in the bath , are you okay to put her stuff away please" I say to Colby in which he responds with already clearing some toys away .
I make my way upstairs to the bath already filling her baby bath up with baby soap and warm water .I wash her little body with a soft pink rag and wash what little bit of black hair she has .As I pull her out of the bath wrapped in a little pink towel I hear Colby walking up the stairs to see him with a freshly made bottle in one hand and a pink baby grow in the other .
I lather the moisturiser on Maisie's soft skin and put a nappy and baby grown on her . I brush her tiny tuff of hair and pick her up walking behind Colby towards the bedroom where her cot is next to my side of the bed .I lay her in her cott , kissing her head as colby hands me the bottle full of milk and I place it in Maisie's mouth .She instantly starts sucking .We both look at her in awe and she starts to fall asleep ."Colby" "y/n" we both say each others name at the same time ." Can we try for a baby " I whisper to Colby he says no response but kisses my lips ,"get down stairs " he says seductively "why " I respond knowing the answer already."well we don't want to wake the kids do we " he says with a smirk leading me out of the room .
Don't know how I feel about this one guys but I hope you like it , please comment follow and like .

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲_ In an earth from the 1600’s that still hunts witches, you and your friends are sent on a mission to catch an anomaly. When the villagers catch you and are about to burn you, Miguel has to go and save you. The act, will lead to you and Miguel having a heart-to-heart talk, solving your problems. 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬_ witch!reader, implied short reader, legal age gap, violence, witchcraft, religion mentions, some horror, angst, fluff. 𝐀/𝐍_ I did something bad, that’s the song for this.
♪ ♫ My Miguel O’Hara playlist ✰ Index (+ fics here) ➪ bookstagram acc (in need of friends)
_____________
Maybe you exaggerated the sparkles in your eyes.
The black eyeshadow with glitter on top was scandalous, and the red gloss on your lips only made it look more exaggerated.
But someone knocked on the door when you were about to wipe the gloss.
“Coming!” You let your guests know.
When you open the door, there are a lot of interesting sights.
Miles and Gwen are dressed as Frankenstein and his bride, Hobie is dressed as a zombie policeman, Pavitr is dressed as a pirate, and Baby Mayday is a fairy.
“OH- all of you look so cute and cool” you squeal, stealing Mayday from Pavitr’s arms.
“You are the prettiest fairy!” She coos and giggles, playing with the feathers on your cleavage. You were the black swan. Yes, from the movie, with pointe shoes alike shoes and all.
“You look so pretty!” Gwen flatters you, as you step aside from the door to let the group in.
“Thanks. So… uh-… Where’s Peter?” You ask once the door closes, and your adult friend is nowhere nearby.
���Jess. He was about to come but she took him to guide a briefing” Miles says, and you roll your eyes. Sometimes you hated how devoted Jess was. No wonder why Miguel trusted her a lot.
“Oh. That’s okay. We can start without him…” they all nod.
The plan was simple. Your friends decided to have a little gathering at your place. Halloween was around three weeks away. A night with spooky movies (Mayday friendly), pumpkin pie, ghost stories, and more sounded good.
'`We bought pumpkin cheesecake and cinnamon bread pudding’ Miles adds. Your mouth waters at the smell.
“You can place them in the kitchen. Thanks…"Soon Miles and Gwen are making nachos in your kitchen, Pavitr and Hobie are playing over what movie they should pick, and you are playing with Mayday on the carpet of the living room.
“Dude…y/n, can you tell Hobie that The Exorcist isn’t an option to see as a movie with Mayday here?” You laugh, stopping your little hide-and-seek game with the toddler to see the pair of boys.
“I have to agree with Pav. We can see a cartoon though?” Hobie huffs but nods smiling at Mayday trying to walk.
A sudden bang startles you, Pavitr, and the little kid. It came from the kitchen.
“SORRY” Gwen yells. You wonder what the hell they did.
“The olives can almost explode…” the blonde explains, poking through the kitchen door.
Casper is quickly the most-voted movie to see. When Dr. Harvey is giving an interview on TV and Casper watches it, Miles and Gwen appear with two giant nacho bowls.
They sure did an amazing job. At the bottom, tons of chips. Covered in loads of cheese, tomato, onions, beef, jalapeños, black olives, crema, and more cheese.
“I’m gonna need a diet after this…” you say, making them laugh.
“No worries, my aunt makes this fermented tea that will make you stay in shape with your usual exercise” Pav was that emotional friend you were so grateful to have.
“Really? Aww. Thanks, Pav” he nods, taking Mayday to snuggle with her.
The only sounds in the living room are Casper talking with his uncles, the crunch of the nachos, and some farts from Mayday.
An hour later, the movie is done. There are no nachos left, most of the bread pudding is gone and the rain has started. Oh, and Peter was still at the HQ dressed as a pirate.
“So as the little girl walked through the woods, soon she found a hanging man… the corpse was already rotten…” Hobie’s deep voice made his narrowing of a horror story more thrilling.
By that time, nobody had a costume, only pajamas. You hold Mayday tightly to your chest. She can’t understand the story at all, but she can tell it is about something spooky.
“She sat next to the corpse, and placed the flowers she had in his chest.”
“That’s so creepy,” Pavitr admitted, listening to Hobbie.
“The sun was almost gone, and the little girl had to go back home” As your punk friend continued with the story, Gwen, Miles, Pavitr, Mayday and you became sandwiched.
“She continued playing with the rotten fingers of the corpse. And suddenly… a branch cracked, startling her, but she remained still…” you gasped, feeling your heart beating faster.
Even the thunders seemed to have increased, adding more suspense and terror to your dismay.
“She slowly turned back to see.”
BANG!
“AHHHHHHHHH!” Everyone screamed. Even Hobie jumped to be in the safety of Pavitr’s arms.
Peter entered your living room through a portal.
“PETER B. PARKER, WHAT THE FUCK?” You yell at him.
“Don’t curse in front of my baby…” it’s the first thing he says, swiping some stuff from his gizmo.
“Where’s your costume?” Miles asks, making everyone realize the older man is in his suit… No pirate costume.
“Sorry, Miles. Actually, I’m here to ruin the party” Everyone looks at each other. You worry something wrong happened back at the HQ.
“Miguel wants us to go on a mission… Now” the complaints start. Including you.
After almost a year of being part of the Spider Society. You barely talked with Miguel O’Hara. To be honest, you actually thought he disapproved of you. The only reason why he accepted you was for the pressure of having Miles and everyone on his side after the events with The Spot.
“Bruv… Are you for real?” Hobie asks, sounding pissed. Even Mayday seems to frown in your arms.
“I know! I wanted to have some pictures with Mayday for her scrapbook” You swear Peter was about to cry out of complaining.
At the same time, the hologram of Miguel popped, immediately rolled his eyes at the sight of Peter being dramatic.
“Enough of that. We’re losing time and all of you are still dressed like clowns…” you frown.
Sometimes Miguel was so annoying. So, you tested him by disobeying him from time to time. Just because you felt some resentment towards him because he always seemed to dislike you.
“We’re dealing with a violent and big Green Goblin attacking Earth 36363. The time course is in the mid-1600s, so we have to act in disguise. There’s a village that is dealing with some witch trials, and the canon will be disturbed if they find out about the Goblin” everyone hears as they activate their suits.
You, on the other hand, grew worried. Folkloric lands sounded scary. And you knew witch trials weren’t only a show of the villagers to send innocent people to stake. Witches existed, and the old ones were the worst.
“Uh… Miguel? I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to go…” you admit shyly, placing Mayday on your couch.
The man, in hologram form, finally turned to look at you. He must’ve been paying attention to your exaggerated makeup and crown.
“Do us a favor and do what you’re supposed to do, please.” you accept he’s looking deeply at you. Which makes you hesitate whether you are growing mad or nervous.
“Why are you so mean to me all the time?”
“I’m not mean. But you are the newest here and the laziest. As your mentor I-“
“Jessica is my mentor.” You interrupt him. Everyone grows quiet, and the tension is evident.
Miguel’s dark eyes seem to get even darker, probably his talons are out. But you don’t care.
“I’m not repeating myself, y/n. So, unless you want your gizmo gone, you’re gonna go to that earth and beat whatever is there besides the goblin.”
“If anything happens. I’m gonna blame you…” Hobie is smiling. He took a preference for you since you weren’t afraid to face Miguel when he tried to impose. And he recalls accepting to rejoin the society because you befriended him.
“Uh-huh…” Miguel shrugs, spitting sarcasm. And it makes your blood boil.
Gwen places a hand on your shoulder, and her eyes tell you to relax. So, you smile at her, accepting you’re obeying Miguel once again, and battling against the nervous feeling setting in your stomach.
“Okay. So… we’re out in a minute” Peter calls, placing his kid in his chest.
“Good. I’m monitoring with Jess…” and with that, Miguel’s hologram vanished. You roll your eyes.
“Asshole. Why doesn’t he go with Jess? He knew it was our free day” Pav, Miles and Hobie nod at your words.
“You said it. Miguel has changed but…” Peter started.
“Peter, he’s still an asshole. Especially with y/n” the blonde girl speaks, and you can’t help but feel slightly emotional. You were good… Why did he dislike you so much?
“He would be better if I was gone. He dislikes me for not being a spider. And probably he recruited me only because of your trust, especially Miles’s. After what happened…” the boy patted your shoulder.
“Hey, screw what Miguel thinks. You’re special… you’re one of us” his words cheer you up, so you smile brightly.
“Oh- I love you all so much…” Their giggles set you in a better mood. Even with the nervousness and dissolving anger.
With a brush of your hand, your usual suit appears, and you join the little circle to wait for Peter to open the portal.
“So… y/n, it’s gonna be fine, we’re sticking together no matter what. Okay, earth 36363, here we go…” you breathe, and once the portal is open, everyone starts walking in.
When you’re on the other side of the portal, the first thing you notice is that the sun is nearly gone. It’s a giant landscape of woods. With tall trees, lots of nature, and a river that can be heard but not seen.
“Everyone here?” Miles asks, counting you and the other to confirm to Peter. It was a protocol that when large groups assisted in missions, they had to ensure everyone landed and exited the visited earth safely.
“Yep, four teens, a young woman, an old man, and a stinky baby” Gwen calls, Mayday in her arms.
“Oh no, Mayday. Again?” Peter had been dealing with a stomach-sensitive Mayday, so he had to carry diapers everywhere.
“Here’s your daughter” everyone laughs, including the little girl.
And as Peter changed Mayday, everyone wandered around, searching for clues to the anomaly.
“Miguel said the goblin was hidden in the forest” the man reveals from a giant rock, where Mayday was laying. And certainly, she looked like a gift for a ritual, which unsettled you.
“Look… a baby rabbit” Pavitr cooed. You followed his eyes, landing on the grass trail in front of you.
Indeed, there was a baby rabbit, dark brown looking directly at your friends and you. That wasn’t a normal rabbit.
It was a woman, transformed into a rabbit.
You can’t be nervous. And you use Miguel and his words. you’re gonna go to that earth and beat whatever is there besides the goblin. Your eyes deepen as you look at the rabbit. Like protecting your friends and saying to that witch; back off bitch, these are my friends.
“That’s not a rabbit, Pav. It’s a witch…” you admit once the rabbit starts running into the woods. At the same time, all of your friends look at you confused.
“She was spying on us?” Hobie asks.
“Likely. Which makes me uncomfortable because What if she tells her coven and they attack us?” Peter finally is over with Mayday and soothes you.
“We’re here too. Besides, Aren't you a witch too?” He asks calmly.
“Yeah, but this kind of witches works with dark magic. They don’t fight, they don’t have to. Using dark magic makes them… powerful” you admit.
“And what do you use?” Miles asks.
“My instinct. I’m not ruled by any magic. Just me…”
“That’s enough for us, y/n. Don’t worry” Pavitr joins to soothe you.
It’s officially dark. The woods seem creepier, and every sound makes you uneasy. Your magical sparkles are the only light on the way.
Peter and you are going to the front. With the teens behind. Mayday is asleep. And there’s no sign of the Green Goblin.
Out of nowhere. You start hearing a woman sing in the distance. It wasn’t an actual song, it was just a humming, which made everything scarier.
“Are you hearing that?” You ask once the humming is even clearer.
“Hear what, y/n?” You won’t panic. But it’s getting harder.
“A woman, humming…”
“I can’t hear anything,” Hobie admits.
“They must know I’m here. Usually, they get rid of witches outside of their coven” you add, capturing everyone’s attention.
“How do you know?”
“In the 1600s, that’s how it worked. But I just know it, I felt a connection with the rabbit. But it felt wrong. So, what I’m hearing must be a warning or a way to distract me” You can’t help but curse Miguel. It was all his fault. And the worst part hadn’t started.
A high-pitched laugh was heard, startling everyone.
“Now I heard that,” Pav admits.
“That’s the goblin, we’re getting closer…” Maybe Peter wasn’t afraid of many things, but he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable on that earth. It had a sad and dark atmosphere. And before you, he didn’t believe in witches. But now…
The moment was stroked by some explosions. It sends everyone flying away. But all of your friends had spider senses, which made them slightly aware of what was coming.
You land in the grass, with dry branches pinching you in the arms. There’s a pitch in your ears that makes you so lost. And just as your eyes focus around, you see Miles and Hobie attacking the Green Goblin.
“We have to go, y/n” Pavitr and Peter scream, but you hear them so distantly.
You nod, and however you can, you start chasing the goblin with your friends.
This goblin is ugly and on the verge of being scary. His green wrinkled skin and red eyes look horrible in the dark. His flying board and orange bombs make him look like an actual Halloween villain.
“Block him, y/n” Gwen yells as she balances and swings through the tall trees.
You suddenly remember you can levítate and you have to end the anomaly. So, you do, you float and leave your friends behind. And as you chase the goblin, you hope to throw him away with your magic.
“Keep in line” Peter advises the spiders. The chase is longer than expected. And while you’re not tired, you’re growing impatient. Until you are fast enough to end up landing on the goblin’s flying board.
His claws threaten your face, but you are able to sneak behind him and throw him.
With your magic, you give him a giant punch in his face.
“WE GOT HIM!” Hobie yells. But as soon as you are about to handcuff him, the goblin throws another explosion.
And this time, you’re not knocked.
You know you’re conscious, but there’s only darkness. You don’t dare to run because you have a bad omen.
It was a spell. The witches wanted you down.
Not even the sounds of the woods seem to help. But you make an effort to calm yourself and breathe slowly. You really cursed these witches; you had tried hypnosis once and it was so exhausting. And these women hadn’t even shown their faces but were making you so uncomfortable and in panic.
And that’s when you finally see something, a goat. It’s grey, with deep eyes that look at you with so much curiosity. In folklore, the devil usually was a sheep. You really hate being there. Earth 36363 is cursed, you affirm.
The goat starts moving towards you, and as much as you are calmed, you are scared. So you move back, and there must’ve been a branch, cause you fell backwards. And the hypnosis was gone at all. You can see some of the woods, although it’s extremely dark to see clearly.
You push yourself upwards by the elbows, hoping to see the damn witches. You hear a distant laugh, it’s not like the one you heard from the Goblin. It’s a female voice. The dark silhouettes of women in a dress around you make you finally attack.
“Y/N!” You hear Miles screaming at you. That’s enough to end up confused as hell. The woods are clearer, and you are fighting beside your friends.
“What the fuck happened?” You yell. The boy and Hobie make some time to talk to you.
“We’re fighting the Goblin. What do you mean?” You wonder if you had been physically fighting the goblin but mentally you were fighting with a witch.
“I- don’t know” Peter, Pavitr, and Gwen are higher, away from you.
Making a new bomb of the goblin to send you Hobie and Miles even further away. This time, you know you have to be faster. So, you create a shield for you and your friends. Even when you end up on the ground, nobody is hurt.
“WITCH! AYE, A WITCH!” You frowned, and once you and your friends turned back, you were met with a large crowd of people with torches.
“Bloody hell…” Hobie curses. You learn that there were no more woods behind you, it was the entrance of a village.
“GET THAT WITCH!” And before you can even stand, two men are holding you, dragging ypu towards the crowd.
“NO. Y/N!” Pavitr and Hobie try to attack the villagers, but you are mentally immobilizing them.
“GO BACK WITH THE OTHERS AND TAKE DOWN THE GOBLIN. I’LL FIGURE THIS OUT. GO!” You yell desperately as the villagers celebrate and cheer because they got you.
“Oh, boy…” Pavitr worries, but they start going back with the others.
“Call Miguel…” Hobie suggests. And both know it’s the right thing to do.
Miguel gave one last bite to his beef and vegetable empanada. He savored the flavor of the broth and wanted to lick his fingers, but he resisted the urge. Instead, he wiped his mouth and returned to his office.
The sound of emergency made him pace faster, and he was confused when Jess was nowhere to be found, nor Lyla.
“Lyla!” He called her, but there was no answer. So, he ran to his desk and the screens.
Emergency call from Gwen’s gizmo.
Miguel sighed; he could already hear the complaints. Always calling for reinforcements when there was no necessity.
“MIGUEL!” Gwen sounded worried, and Peter could be heard fighting with the goblin.
“THIS PLACE IS CURSED. THE GOBLIN IS VERY STRONG. AND Y/N WAS TAKEN BY THE VILLAGERS” Miguel’s eyes widened. He thought it wouldn’t be as bad as it sounded.
“What?” He asked trying to sound calm, but he was feeling regretful already. As he remembered your words and how unsure you were of going.
“We need reinforcements. There are witches, they’re doing everything to finish y/n. You have to go and save her. The villagers will burn her.” Miguel couldn’t help but feel anxious as he listened to the teen.
It had been a long time since he went into panic mode for someone.
“Calm down. I’m coming with help. Send the exact coordinates” With that, he finished the connection.
Jess and Lyla appeared, talking like nothing.
“Where were you two?” Jess shrugs, looking at the wide man annoyed.
“Helping Lyla and Margo. What happened?”
“The mission is going bad. They can’t contain the anomaly and y/n was taken by villagers who saw her using her abilities” he explained, activating his mask and leaving the office in a hurry.
“I’ll send help myself too. Where are you going?” Jess replies.
“I already sent help. I'm going to save y/n.” The woman and the AI looked at the man until he disappeared through a portal.
“Save y/n? I thought he disliked her” Lyla giggles.
“Are you kidding? Y/n is Miguel’s crush. He’s in denial about his feelings for her.” Her jaw dropped at Lyla’s words.
“I wasn’t ready for that punch” Lyla rolled her eyes, finally leaving with the woman to help.
Escape? The villagers would hunt you and that would take more weight on your friends already fighting the goblin.
Leave to the HQ? You couldn’t leave your friends behind. Plus, you won’t give Miguel the satisfaction.
It’s a hard decision to make when the villagers are tightening your feet and arms. The curse you and some men spit. You want to attack them, but that would also go against your morals. Their ignorance wasn’t a reason to kill or attack them.
The reverend of the town is a young man, corrupted by power and corruption. He has the torch that would kill you.
“May thy town abolish the dark magic of this witch today. No more witches!” He yells lifting the torch. And you finally panic.
There’s anger, anxiety, and desperation as the reverend speaks. The coven of witches surrounding the town had to be very powerful and ancient. How they easily tricked you and made you feel scared. Soon, you fall and get captured.
But as much as you want to fight, these people are not the correct target.
“Last words? filthy witch.” The Reverend asks you, pointing the torch at you.
You sigh, thinking what your last words in case you didn’t make it and died. There are a lot of questions and doubts, but you opt to look at the dark sky.
Even the stars seem weird on the earth. Green stars and burned violet sky. And Spiderman-2099 with his bright red webs coming from the ceiling of a house.
“MIGUEL?” Your eyes widen, and somehow you can’t believe you’re seeing the man there. The reverend turns around to encounter the tall spider. Pointing at him in horror.
“DEMON! THE WITCH BROUGHT A DEMON!” At that point, you only roll your eyes.
“Jesus, I can’t stand these people” But you ignore when the reverend dropped the torch, setting the fire on your feet.
“Fuck…” you had to gasp. But luckily, Miguel landed on the little wooden stage set for you.
You can feel his eyes on you, even with his mask on. However, his regret is even more evident.
The villagers run and everything is chaos. Only the reverend and some random men stayed.
And with what probably was one of the first rifles in America, one of the men pointed at Miguel’s back.
‘Miguel. Watch out!” He listened and skillfully avoided the bullet. Then turned again to set you free.
“I’ll be fast,” he said. And with that, his talons ripped the tight in your hands. Which confirmed how sharp they were.
“Thanks.” Apparently, the reverend was losing patience, so he took the rifle and pointed it at Miguel again, but he failed again.
And the fire touched your feet, burning your soft skin as Miguel set you free.
Your scream caught everyone off guard. You fell to your knees, and the look you sent to the reverend and his men was enough to tell them you were totally pissed.
The anger flooded your body, and an expansive wave of your magic pushed everything away. Including some of the houses and trees surrounding the village.
“It’s time to go, kid,” Miguel said. But once he saw you couldn’t stand, he took you in his arms.
Even if you hate it, you end up crying because of the pain.
“It’s okay, y/n. I’m here, it’s over now.”
As Miguel took you in his arms, you realized something. It wasn’t only the physical pain. It was the whole trauma of being on that haunted earth.
“I wonder if this whole earth is cursed.” You think loudly looking at the stars once again.
“I doubt it. Okay, no. I’m not sure at all” Miguel admits.
He could have been faster with his webs, but he preferred to walk by the fields of chamomile to have you closer for a longer time.
Of course, he couldn’t dare to admit it.
“So…you think you were simultaneously fighting the goblin and the witches?” You nod, playing with your fingers.
“I guess so. It was so weird and scary. This kind of magic is dark, they use cruel things to scare you away.”
“What kind of magic do you use?” You are surprised, as this is the first time you have been talking with Miguel for real.
“I like to believe I don’t use anything. But I know it is chaos magic.”
“Powerful…” he admits.
“But also, dangerous. That’s why I regret…uh-” You suddenly quiet down, forgetting it’s Miguel O’Hara who you’re talking to.
“You don’t have to tell me…” he would never push you to anything. He barely knew you, even with all the confusing feelings.
“No, it’s okay. I-, discovered my abilities when I was an early teenager. I had two brothers, a baby, and a kid. My babies…” As Miguel carries you through the darkness, he sighs quietly, already sensing where your story is going.
“And I don’t what I did, I would never hurt them… It just happened. I disappeared them. They were gone…” your voice shatters slightly.
“My parents hate me. I haven’t seen him since then. I’m alone and I just- I just loved them so much. That it breaks my soul that I unintentionally killed them” the man stops. He places you so gently on a rock near the end of the fields.
After that, he kneels in front of you.
You know you shouldn’t have over-shared. But you don’t know what possessed you to spill everything with Miguel.
His masks disappear. And you can’t describe what kind of look he’s giving you. So, you avoid it.
“Look at me, y/n” his hands grab your chin, and slowly you rejoin to meet his eyes.
“I know how it feels. You know why” Of course you knew. Peter told you the details, but everyone knew. How he lost his daughter and how he blamed and that’s why he had changed so much.
“Even if you feel like that guilt will never stop chasing you. You have to keep going. For them…” you want to cry again so badly, but you refuse. Even your pulsating burned feet seem to hurt less.
“Why do I feel you tell me exactly what you refuse to do?” He can’t help but chuckle.
“Because you’re right…”
“No, Miguel. You’re so young and bright. You have to go out, meet new people, and be happy…” Nobody had said to him something like that in a long time.
“I’m not the most social person” This time you chuckle.
“Oh c’mmon, there must be someone you could hang out with.” He keeps quiet. Even when he's on his knees, you barely face him.
“What about Anya? Betty? Peter J?” You suggest to him some spider mates.
“What about you?” His question shocks you.
“Me?” You blush and thank the moon of the earth for not being too bright that night.
“Forget it. Sorry…” he replies, you know he’s embarrassed. So, you stop him from standing up.
“No, wait, Miguel. I would hang out with you. It’s just I never thought I was even contemplated as an option” he nods.
Just like he didn’t know why he was so careful and decided to talk about his trauma with you, he dint know what had possessed him to ask you out. Probably the witches, he thought.
“Well, you were the first option, actually.”
Both of you smile, and both of you know it. Slowly, he got closer, than you. And finally, inches away from each other face, waiting for a first kiss to happen.
“Are we interrupting?” Hobie’s voice makes you and Miguel turn. His mask comes on again, and he takes you in his arms again. Oh, you want to die out of embarrassment.
Miles and Gwen behind him seemed shocked.
“Did Pavitr and Peter take care of the anomaly?” The trio nods.
“Good. Gwen, open the portal, please” she does, and in seconds, you’re back home.
This time, you’re in a long grey tube skirt and black sweater, with a witch hat.
“Coming” again, Peter was late for the gathering. Even Jess, Margo, and Ben were in your place that night.
“Look who I brought…” Peter said smiling once you opened the door. Behind him, Miguel was also there. Your face blushes immediately.
Peter has gone inside your house to greet the others. But you stay on the porch with the taller man.
“You came.” Miguel nods scratching the back of his neck, probably embarrassed too.
“Peter insisted.” This time you nod.
“How’s your feet?”
“Better. I Can walk now…” you share, smiling.
Since the night on Earth 36363, since your almost kiss with Miguel and your almost day of death, you hadn’t seen him. It’s only been three days, but the awkwardness had settled.
“So…Did you mean everything you said the other night?” You ask, opting to break the ice.
“I did” he confirms to your surprise. Well, not surprised at all because you know he's a man of word.
“Te ves bien bonita” Miguel O’Hara saying you look pretty in random clothes and a witch hat at a Halloween gathering was so hard to believe.
“I- Thanks” he’s smiling. During the past three days, he slowly came to accept he had some feelings for you.
“Girl… Make a move already” Gwen yelled poking through the door with Margo. You turn to smile at them.
“Kiss him!” Miles screams from inside the place, with Mayday babbling too.
Miguel chuckles, finding the moment very silly. Especially because he knew you were embarrassed.
With your magic, you closed the door and turned to see Miguel again.
“Do you want to kiss me?” You ask him, shyly.
He rolls his eyes and leans to meet you in a kiss.
From inside the house, through the window, of course, everyone is looking at you and Miguel.
You can’t believe what’s happening. You haven’t even thought about the meaning of Miguel kissing you. You never thought about him in other way than just being your boss. But now, you like the butterflies he’s making you feel.
He has to almost kneel to meet your face and keep kissing you. And you find your way to hug his neck, making your witch hat fall.
“Even their outfits match” Peter points out. You had a black sweater, and Miguel had a grey one. You had a grey skirt, and Miguel had black pants.
“This is so weird…” Jess can’t believe it.
“Yes.” Everyone agrees.
Meanwhile, you were still kissing the man. You could easily end up falling in love with him.
Part two is coming.

The babies losing Jack’s PG ring
“Baby girl, have you seen my PG ring?” Jack asked while coming over to you and leaning down to kiss you. You were currently in the kitchen trying to make your mother’s famous banana pudding cheesecake.
“No, last time I saw it was yesterday and it was on the dresser.” You said quickly answering him before starting to work on the crust.
“So, you didn’t mysteriously take it like last time and had me about to lose my shit thinking that I lost it?”
“No, baby. I promise that I didn’t take it, but I’ll help you look for it. Just give me a few minutes.” 
“You need any help?”
“I mean there’s not many ways you can mess up a cheesecake so why not? Combine the cream cheese, vanilla, and whipped cream in the mixer for me.”
“I…. not you throwing shade at your husband who is only trying to help.”
“I love you smush and I appreciate you for everything you do for me.”
“Especially when I’m rearranging your guts.”
You immediately scoffed and rolled your eyes.
“Look for the damn ring yourself.”
“Oh, don’t act like you weren’t trying to rip my clothes off earlier.”
“Jackman, cut it out. And I’d do it again too.”
It had been about four hours and the two of you had searched the house from top to bottom looking for Jack’s ring. 
“Baby! I set it right here on the dresser!” Jack said to you clearly stressed.
“I believe you but now I have a thought.”
“What?”
“BABIES! GET IN HERE!”
All three of them came into your shared bedroom, Axel eating his cake pop, Autumn dragging her doll behind her and Ivy sucking on a lollipop which you had no idea how she got.
It was probably Urban.
“Babies, have you seen daddy’s ring? The one he wears all the time?” You asked pulling up a picture of it and showing them.
“Yes!” Axel immediately said and you and Jack let out a sigh of relief.
“Okay, bubs. Where did you see it?” Jack asked and then Axel shrugged.
“I don’t remember, daddy. But I did see it.”
All Jack did was shake his head in disbelief and you were trying not to laugh.
“Ivy?” You turned to look at her and she was looking everywhere but at you.
“Um, I put it in my toy chest yesterday, but it’s not there no more.”
“WHAT?!” Jack exclaimed and you immediately put your hand on his chest to calm him down.
“Ivy, what do me and daddy always tell you? Before you take things, you need to first ask if it’s okay.”
“BABE, THAT RING WAS EXPENSIVE!”
“Jackman, I know because I bought it. But relax babe and breathe. Ivy, do you not remember what you did with it?”
She simply shook her head no while you heard Jack muttering beside you, ‘gentle parenting’ over and over again.
“Autumn, have you seen it?” Jack asked her.
“I need five dollars if you want me to talk.”
You and Jack then did a double take to look at her.
“Imma kick your little…” Jack started to say, but you immediately cut him off.
“Jack, baby….”
All he did was sigh and began to mutter underneath his breath.
“Autumn, I’m not giving you five dollars if you took something that wasn’t yours without asking. Now where is it? Mommy is not going to ask again.”
She sighed before reaching into her pocket and pulling it out.
“Here, daddy. Next time put it where Ivy can’t get to it.” 
“Me? Ax was the one who took it!”
“We’re raising three thieves. I need to set up an account for bail money instead of a college fund.” Jack said only loud enough for you to hear before you started laughing.

Okay, just...imagine CG Elvis feeding his little while she sits on his lap or in a large highchair.
This is super cute! I'm gonna make it a headcanon:
🧚🏻 Masterlist 🧚🏻
Pairings: CG!Elvis x Little F!Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elvis loves to feed you, and you love being fed by your Daddy
Elvis always wants to make sure you're well fed, so mealtimes are the most certain thing in the day, despite Elvis' ever-changing, hectic schedule
He knows all he needs to do is pat his thigh and you'll come running, clambering up onto it so you can straddle it
You're usually always well-behaved, sitting on your Daddy's knee whilst he wraps a strong arm around your tummy, his large hand gripping your side to keep you in place
He'll use his other hand to feed you, passing you bits of fruit or spoon-feeding you your meal
You're soft natured and pliant, which Elvis loves, making meal times a tender and intimate moment for you two
That doesn't mean it can't get messy, oh boy, it can get messy
Sometimes you're just feeling too little, and you miss your mouth when trying to feed yourself, causing Elvis to intervene
"Hold still, will ya baby? Whatchu got? Ants in yer pants?" Elvis chuckles, teasing you as you giggle
He'll end up taking a damp cloth and wiping it across your face at the end of the meal as you giggle at the tickling feeling it gives you
Your set up of eating whilst sitting on your Daddy's lap never changes and you both love that
Even if there are guests
You'll be quieter than usual, naturally shy at a lot of attention directed in your direction, even if it is mostly at Elvis
But Elvis will rub soothing circles on your tummy, or have his thumb trace your sides, discreetly albeit comfortingly
He'll pass you your food or feed it to you, and you'll concentrate just on that, thinking about the grown-up conversation going on at the table would just be too much for little, sweet, you
Elvis knows when you're full, it's when your head is lolling on his shoulder, your whole body relaxed and melting into his
But that's usually before you've finished your vegetables, with them still scattered on your favourite, pink plate that has pictures of bunnies on it
"Just got ya vegetables left, sweetpea." Elvis reminds you gently
"Can't do it, Daddy, m'full," You mumble
"You can do it, Daddy knows you can, you gotta eat your greens." Elvis reminds you, with a slightly sterner tone, and you know that you're not going to win this battle, even if you don't like vegetables
"Now, open that pretty little mouth for Daddy and finish your plate, like a good girl."
You'll reluctantly yet obediently open your mouth, letting Elvis feed you the final vegetables, even if it does take ages, Elvis will wait it out to make sure you're being healthy
Elvis will whisper sweet praises in your ear, which he knows will make you just melt
Once you've swallowed the last bit of veg, Elvis will always kiss the top of your head
"What's for puddin', Daddy?" You'll ask sweetly, fiddling with his rings, distracted and feeling small
Elvis will chuckle at your delicate state, he loves meal times as much as you do, it's the time when he feels most like a caregiver to you
"Thought your tummy was all full, little girl?" Elvis says, raising an eyebrow at you
"Still got room in my tummy for puddin', Daddy." You giggle
And he always gets you pudding

Lyrics
Mafia boss Bucky x singer! Reader
Sum- you and Bucky had been together for 3 years before he left, he had even put a ring on your finger. You never knew why he left but it broke you to peices. One day he comes to the club you sing at and you change the song to show him how much your hurting.
Warning- mention of breakup, cussing, sad ending (if you want a good ending ask for it. For now you get to cry.) mention of guns, vehicle destruction.
This is part 1
Part 2 ‘letter’
Part 3 ‘love’
I’d rather go blind by Beyoncé (Etta james)
Tumblr media
Bucky walks in a few of his body guards following close behind.
“Bucky!” Steve calls from the other side of the room. He walks over giving his friend a hug smiling.
“How have you been.?” He asks
“Im alright you?” Bucky asks
“Yeah I’m good, hey I gotta treat for you tonight we hired this girl a few months back she’s got an amazing voice. Her name is pudding she’s fucking incredible.” Steve says.
Bucky chuckles
“You got strippers too now?” He asks Stevelaughs
“That’s next week pal” he says other people begin to gather in and pretty soon the show begins to start the lights dim and music begins to play.
Bucky takes his seat in the middle table around the best row. Buckys ear perk as the steady melody hits his heart the familiar music. The curtain opens revealing you.
Bucky sits up his eyes widening. You seem to notice him and sigh rolling your eyes you walk off to the side as the music cuts you walk back in the stage and a different song plays. Bucky frowns confused if your okay. Seeing you in the beautiful skin right dress your make up done and hair falling down your back.
The music begins to play again but it’s a different song.
You begin to sing the song your wrote after Bucky had left you. The lyric hit his ears as he begins to realized just how much he hurt you. He didn’t get to tell you why, didn’t give a reason, didn’t leave a note, or a text, he left 1 million dollars in your bank account and you in the California king bed in his pent house that he’d left in your name.
Something told me it was over (Yeah)
When I saw you and her talking deep
Something deep down in my soul said cry girl (cry, cry)
When I saw you and that girl walking around whoo ooh
You remaine your glaze on him feeling tears begin to fall down your cheeks. Your voice becomes stronger as you sing about how he hurt you.
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy Then to see you walk away from me child naw naw whoo ooh
Bucky runs his fingers through his hair sighing as he ties it up in a bun, looking down not being able to bear your face now tear stained. He’d always promised you he’d never hurt you even though he left to keep you safe he needed you. When steve had asked him if he’s been alright that wasn’t the truth.
He left 6 months ago and hasn’t had a good night sleep since. He’s more hostile to his empylees and takes less bullshit than he did with you. You keep him sane, calm, loved…Happy.
So you see I love you so much that I don't wanna watch you leave me baby
Most of all I just don't
I just don't wanna be free now whoo ooh, Woo oh
Bucky feels a lump in his throat something he hasn’t felt since you had yes to marrying him the pure joy the engulfed him but now it was filled with sadness. Pain that he’d been hiding this entire time.
That ring still on your finger it glistens in the stage light. ‘Why do you still wear it if you’re so hurt?’ ‘why dont you look away from him?’ ‘do you still love him?”
I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking of your kiss, And your warm embrace yeah When a reflection in a glass that I held to my lips now baby Revealed these tears that are on my face whoo ooh
Bucky gets up from his seat sniffing before finishing the glass of bourbon steve so kindly placed in his hand. He takes on last look at you before walking off his body guards follow. He walks out of the club before letting out a yell not angry not to cause attention of pure pain pissed off at himself for not treating you right in the end you deserved a goodbye, a reason, you deserve better that too much money and shit memories.
And baby, and baby, baby I'd rather be blind boy
Then to see you walk away
Walk away from me yeah ”FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!” Bucky yells kicking his car and breaks off the side mirror chucking it through the windshield. He punches the door of the car denting it in his metal arm making sparks fly before drawing his gun and shooting it until the ammo is out.
And baby, baby, baby I'd rather be blind boy
Then to see you walk away, Walk away from me
He falls to his knees beginning to sob. Still being able to hear your voice from outside the club as it dies down into Applause then default music begin to play.
Bucky pants sobbing into the black asphalt not even realizeing your steps up to him you kneel down in front of him. He looks up his hair disheveled falling out of the bun it was once tied up in a bun.
You see his tired face the stubble and bag under his eyes. His blue eyes darkened and red by the tears.
“Im sorry…im so so sorry.” His voice breaks.
You nod. Your eyebrows knit together. Tears stream down his face. You place you hand on his cheek he leans into it. Yo lean into him kissing his lips to which he immediately kisses you back.
Lips against his for a few more seconds before you pull away and looking into his eyes his gaze softening. You look down at you hand the ring glistening against your skin. You take it off and take his hand placing it in him palm.
“Y/n..” he begins.
“You left me…but you forgot this.” You say before getting up and walking back into the club. Bucky pleads out watching you walk away.

The Producer
Tumblr media
(Dieter x horror loving female)
Words: 2, 137
Summary: it’s my birthday and wanted to do something fun, alsothis was my excuse to create my dream cast for a live-action Powerpuff Girls film!
Warnings: random celebrity cameos, lots of adorableness, Dieter being Dieter so some saucy suggestions
Check out masterlist here
“Dieter, who is that?”
“No one.”
Clara immediately popped up waving, “Hi mummy!”
You scooted over and kissed her on the cheek but kept that scolding glare on your husband.
“How many times have I told you not to bring her on set?”
“She wanted to see you.”
“Jojo!” she exclaimed.
“Did someone bring me a baby to cuddle?” Jack Black was already under a layer of makeup to portray said character, minus the big brain. Dieter plopped the eager toddler onto his lap which immediately started to jiggle.
“Pudding!”
“I’m 50% pudding!” Her laughter made it hard for you to be mad.  Eventually you took her from the soft clutches of the actor.
“Say bye to Jojo.”
“Bye Jojo!”
You handed her off to Dieter. “Put her back in daycare before we start getting complaints,” you gave her another kiss on the cheek but kept up the stern face.
“Okay,” Dieter sighed and begrudgingly took Clara back to the on-set daycare.
It was a wonderful idea, an on-set daycare. Wonder why it wasn’t thought of before. It was thought up by the writer who had a child of their own and didn’t want to leave them with nannies. This brought several great people on to the project as they now no longer had to worry over who would look after their little ones of various ages. The director herself had a toddler and was overjoyed to have her close by and would bring her little Bianca on set. You were signed on as head of special effects makeup but mainly your job was bringing Mojo Jojo to life. Dieter was playing Professor Utonium and Clara had finally accepted the fact that her father was still the same person even though he had shaved his beard. Occasionally she would still glare at him with suspicion.
The whole cast and crew were very friendly, and everyone got on well. You had yet to meet the writers or producers, but they didn’t have to be on set as much as everyone else.
You read through Dieter’s script and absolutely loved how the film started as the Powerpuff girls were growing up and going to high school in Citysville while Professor Utonium had a mid-life crisis which gave Mojo Jojo the opportunity to lure his old creator into being a villain. But underneath the fun, cartoon-like joy was the fear of girls being made to grow up too quickly and losing childhood. You shed tears over Blossoms speech critiquing those who stole the chance for girls to be safe and not letting them stay children.
Right now, you were looking at the psychedelic set which was having its backdrop changed.
“Oh wow, it’s like Colour Out of Space!”
“It is,” you turned to the man next to you, “Wait, you’ve seen that film?”
*****
Dieter saw you in deep conversation as he left the set for the day and made his way over to the on-set daycare. Dieter loved the daycare as he loved being able to see his daughter almost anytime and give her a cuddle.
Clara had made several friends already as they had similar interests, mostly bugs. Bianca, the director’s daughter, had curly brown hair and brown eyes which immediately made them twins.
Dieter went over to the two girls, “Hello there Clara,” he said to Bianca.
The girls both giggled. “I’m not Clara,” said Bianca.
“You’re not?” he turned to Clara, “Hi Bianca.”
Again they both giggled. “I’m Bianca!” exclaimed her namesake.
“Daddy silly!” said Clara.
“Oh, I’m sorry Bianca,” Dieter said to his daughter who burst into even more giggles. He picked up the right little girl and gave Clara a big kiss on the cheek. Both of them waved bye to Bianca and Dieter gave an interested glance at her father who just walked in as Dieter walked out.
“Hello cupcake!” he carried her out to the car where you were waiting for them.
“You were being chatty with the producer,” Dieter said as he got in the car.
“Oh that was the producer? We were talking about Colour Out of Space. I don’t know anyone who’s watched it and I was so excited to talk about it with someone!”
Dieter mumbled something incoherent but shrugged it off.
“There’s something familiar about him but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. He is somewhat adorable like you.”
“Adorable?”
“Not as adorable as you. No one is as adorable as you. Except Clara.”
“She can out-adorable anyone.”
*****
Dieter had snuck Clara onto set the next day. He was going to introduce her to his on-screen daughters.
“This is my baby girl, Clara. Cupcake, these are the Powerpuff Girls.”
Clara looked at the three actresses and pointed accordingly, “Bubbles, Blossom, Buttercup?”
Emma Myers, Halle Bailey and Shioli Kutsuna reacted the way one would when meeting the small, adorable offspring of Dieter Bravo, they cooed and fawned over her.
You hadn’t noticed all this as you were having another nerdy discussion with the producer.
“I’m sorry, I never really got your answer before but, what is your favourite film?”
“The question really should be what is my favourite film at the moment?”
He had a look that seemed similar to when your husband had discovered you put Kit Kats in something. “Wow, no one has ever asked me that before.”
“I always thought just narrowing it down to just a handful makes it really hard to decide.”
“Exactly!”
Dieter however, noticed this as he snuck Clara back to the on-set daycare.
“I saw you being very chummy with the producer today,” he asked you later at home.
“Oh we were having this discussion over The Wicker Man and wait, Dieter are you jealous?”
“No,” he mumbled.
You put your book down and looked at your husband. “Dieter, you have nothing to worry about. I’m ridiculously in love with you and nothing will change that. If Mike Flanagan showed up with a cheeseboard, I’d say thank you, but no.”
“But you’d take the cheeseboard?”
“Oh, absolutely!”
*****
The on-set daycare was filled with children eager for their parents to take them home. Clara made another friend called Ari. Her curls were golden honey so sadly she wasn’t a twin but her and Clara were best friends as they both loved spiders.
Clara saw her father enter the room and ran up to greet him. Upon getting closer, she realised this was not her father.
“Daddy?”
The man kneeled down, “I’m sorry bonita, I’m not your father.”
Ari came up beside her friend, “Papa!” She was welcomed with open arms by the man who looked like her father. Suspicions were already forming in her two-year-old brain.
You were picking up Clara today as Dieter was still rehearsing some last-minute choreography for the big crazy musical number where Professor Utonium has his mid-life crisis while also being seduced by all the Townsville villains including Him who was being portrayed by Yanis Marshall (aka, the dancing Deadpool in the Ashes music video, the voice provided later by Crispin Freeman and Kari Wahlgren) You walked into the room and found Clara in her one-sided glaring competition with the producer. She managed to break her glaring when you picked her up. She pointed at the man, “Not daddy?”
“That’s right, it’s not daddy. He looks nothing like him.”
But Clara went back to her evil glaring. The man who looked like her father but was not her father could only result in one conclusion.
“Evil daddy.”
“Why do you think he’s evil? He’s a very nice man.��
This man must be her father’s evil clone, it was the only thing that made sense. But it was hard for a toddler to explain this to her mother and the thought of explaining this made her feel tired and confused so she ended up just burying her face in your neck.
“I’m sorry,” you said to him. “Usually her dad picks her up, so she thinks you’re her dad. But he had to shave his beard and she must be missing it and saw yours so...” you shrugged.
“Oh no, that’s fine,” he turned to the girl in his arms. “Is this your friend?”
She nodded, “Spider.”
You both looked confused until you properly introduced your daughter.
“This is Clara.”
“Oh, nice to meet you Clara,” but she was too busy being tired and confused over the thought of her father having an evil clone to acknowledge this man.
Thankfully Clara had recovered when she was in the arms of her father, although he was confused when she was calling him real daddy.
“She’s missing the beard, as am I.”
He kissed both of you on the cheek, “I’m missing it too.”
Clara was overjoyed to see her actually father and not some evil clone.
“Not evil!” she exclaimed as she wrapped her tiny arms around his neck.
“Not evil?” he gave you a confused look, but you replied with an I’ll-explain-later look.
*****
The next day, you were immersed in your new book while on a tea break.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude your reading, but I couldn’t help but admire your book.”
Lifting your head, you came face to face with kind brown eyes, it was the producer who had become your new friend. There was a sort of familiarity to his eyes. You lifted up the book to show the full cover: Golem, Caligari, Nosferatu; A Chronicle of German Film Fantasy.
“My husband got it for me because he knew I’d love it. And I do.”
“So you’ve seen The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari?” he asked.
“Oh yes. Old films just have a certain quality to them modern films can’t replicate.”
“I completely agree. Is it one of your favourite films at the moment?”
“It is but I really like Nosferatu, mainly because it’s an early depiction of vampires. Oh, do you know the film Shadow of the Vampire?”
“Of course, a masterpiece to honour its original film,” you nodded in agreement. “Nicolas Cage produced that film.”
“He did?”
“Yes, he grew up with all those silent films.”
“How did I not notice?”
*****
It was the end of the working week and you and Dieter did not have to get up early the next day, so you indulged in tonight. Dieter was putting his heart and soul into every kiss. He’d been looking forward to this and slowly kissed down your neck. You were running your fingers through his hair, but suddenly, as your mind cleared, a forgotten thought entered your mind. You knew it would occupy until you found out, so you gently pushed your husband off you. Rolling off you in confusion, he watched as you left the bedroom. He quietly padded his way through the house, where he found you looking through your DVD collection.
“Honey cakes, what are you doing?”
“I just remembered something that I need to look up. My brain won’t shut up until I do.”
He sighed sympathetically, “I’ll turn the TV on.”
You followed him with your Shadow of the Vampire DVD. You pressed play and stared intently as the opening credits played. You paused when you found what you were looking for.
“There!”
Dieter squinted at the screen, “Nic Cage produced this?”
“Yeah I only just found out. I don’t know why I didn’t notice this before.”
“No one really pays attention to opening credits.”
“That’s true. Until they point out that there were clues hidden like in Malignant.”
He kissed your forehead, “That’s what trivia pages are for. Is your head feeling good?” You nodded. “Would you like me to give you some now?”
“I’m sorry I interrupted us before.”
“No need to apologise. We’ll just back to what we started,” he started nuzzling your neck.
“I just need to…”
“You put away the DVD and I’ll turn the TV off.”
*****
It was the start of a new week, and everyone was back to work, and the children were happy to be back with their friends again.
Once again, Dieter found you deep in conversation with the film’s producer. He wasn’t jealous. Why would he be? He had occasional immersive conversations with his wife but not lately. You were both working on the same film so you’ve both been so busy with that and dealing with a toddler. The two of you were still intimate but Dieter still felt like something was missing when he saw you talking with such animation in your whole expression. It’s not like he wanted to punch the man in the face, but he liked thinking about it.
You were once again deep in conversation when you saw Dieter approaching the two of you.
“Oh, hey Dieter. Have you met the producer?”
He held out his hand, Dieter reluctantly took it.
“Hi, I’m Javi Gutierrez.”

How would each of your Harry’s react to finding out their girls were in the hospital? Either sick or in an accident of some type.
OOOOOO!!!! Okay okay let me think....
Teach Me Harry: He's probably the one that had to bring you as a result of you climbing up onto the counter in your kitchen to reach something on the top shelf of the cabinet (before falling to your inevitable injury).
I think he'd be calm for your sake!!! But he'd be holding your hand through the whole thing!! Thumb stroking back and forth over your knuckles, smiling softly and nodding his encouragement when you have to get some blood work done!!
Mine Harry: He's also probably the one to take you, but because you can't go to an actual hospital, he pays someone off the record to come over and help.
He speaks in hushed tones (probably threatens the mans life to make sure he doesn't fuck it up), and keeps one hand on you at all times. Kisses to your forehead, arm around your shoulders, always at your beck and call!! And he frowns a lot, even though you try to assure him that you'll be okay!!
One for the Money Harry: Well, he's already got the hospital in his pocket, but he makes sure you get your own, private room (a suite, more like). He's always talking to the doctors to figure out what they know and berate them for taking so damn long!!
He's not the best at providing bedside manners and comfort but he does his best. Sits in the chair with you, waiting for hours on end before snapping at a nurse because they haven't brought you a pudding cup yet HAHAHA
iFall Harry: Oh, he's on the first flight back the second he gets word. Which is why you've learned that you can't tell him before an important event or show. Instead, you tell his manager, who then waits until the appropriate time to mention it once the show is over!!
And Harry is always furious because he hates knowing he's left you alone but he can't yell at you (cause you're his baby angel and you're hurt), so instead he yells at everyone else HAHAHA
404 Harry: Okay, this is tricky. If he were there when you got hurt, he'd absolutely take you to get checked out and fixed. But if he found out that you'd hurt yourself or were sick and you were back at your own place? That man is sending you a, "👍" and that's it HAHAHAH

you gotta help me, baby
Tumblr media
even though you could definitely apply for any other job at the mall or stupid family video it still wouldn’t pay as much as babysitting does, but god you’re one more spilled tray of food on the floor from quitting until your boyfriend shows up to save the day | (  2.3k, modern!day au, fluff, established relationship, steve x you, steve x reader ) REQUEST ↪ nonny, i hope your babysitting goes okay and even if it feels like it sucks i know you got this!! ♥️
Y O U G O T T A H E L P M E, B A B Y 🎶 manly man, delacey & emily weisband
You were covered in it. What it was you didn’t know, but between the spilled bottles, thrown food and horribly executed idea of finger painting you reckoned you looked a mess. You would’ve brought the kid to the park just down the street, but it was way too hot. July sun beating down and turning the slide into something that would melt off the backs of your thighs the second you touched it.
And the only thing that made this shit tolerable, the only person that kept you sane these long days, was working overtime and every time you checked your phone it stared up at you blankly.
No notifications. You’d open your messages. No little blinking dots. Nothing. Nada. Why you??
Fingers swiping across your screen you texted Robin, begging her for the fifth time to please let your boyfriend leave early, but you heard it before it happened.
A squeal of delight and then the splat of chocolate pudding all over your phone and hands and bare legs and shirt and–
“Yummy!” the little girl kicked her feet happily in her high chair as you dragged your eyes up from your lap and tried to smile. She was 2. Of course Bea was throwing pudding across the room, but you were at your wit’s end and your chest squeezed with the thought of having to clean up again.
“It’s only pudding,” you muttered under your breath, screwing your eyes shut, trying to count to ten until a knock on the door shook you from your attempt at calming down.
Were they home already? There was no way.
Getting up from the table you swiped an already messy washcloth across Bea’s face, ignoring the abysmal state that you were in, and hurried to the entryway. Pushing yourself up on tip toe you looked through the little peephole in the door and the sight of what was on the other side nearly brought tears to your eyes.
“Oh thank god,” you unlocked and yanked the door open, nearly throwing your arms around Steve’s neck, but stopped short when you remembered the pudding.
You were a sight. Cheeks dotted with red and blue and green paint, white shirt covered in chocolate and cut-off shorts splattered with…was it macaroni? Steve’s first reaction was to laugh, but the look on your face made him soften and he gave you a sympathetic smile.
“Awh, baby. That bad?” he asked, hands reaching out to tug your hips into him by your pockets despite the mess all over you and you melted into his chest. Your mmhm was muffled by the soft fabric of his shirt and he tsked gently. Poor you. Glancing over your shoulder he saw Bea in her highchair, still kicking her feet happily and giving a little squeal at the sight of him.
“Stee!” she shrieked and Steve laughed.
“Hi, Bea,” he pressed a kiss to your forehead and walked you slowly backwards into the house to keep the heat out. “Are you havin’ fun today?” he asked and she giggled.
“Yummy,” she said and put a chocolatey hand to her mouth then stuck it back out to him, offering to share.
“Oh! Wow, that does look good,” pulling his hands from your pockets he tucked away the hair that had fallen into your face. “Why don’t you go take a minute, babe. I got this,” he said softly, pressing another kiss to your cheek before stepping around you to take the washcloth off the table. “Bea, I gotta say, this looks like the best pudding ever made,” he tutted a bit as he wiped more chocolate from her cheeks, her nose, her chubby little hands and suddenly everything felt so much easier.
“Yes, yes!” she squealed and he laughed.
Steve turned to tidy up your chair, muscles in his arm pulling and flexing as he moved, and your cheeks warmed at the sight of him. Hair a bit messy from the open windows on his car, skin golden and warm like it held all of summer under it and dotted with new freckles from sitting out by the pool yesterday.
You could watch him all day, but you needed a second for yourself more and so you hurried down the hallway to the bathroom.
Of course you were good with kids, why else would you have taken the job? But some days were harder than others. Some days the screaming was endless and nothing you did could make the tears stop.
Teething, skipped naps, overtired and hungry or wanting mama and it made you feel like maybe you weren’t good at it. Maybe you should work at the mall. Maybe your dream of kids of your own was too much, maybe you wouldn't be a good mom, but then Steve would show up.
Your second wind. Your cheerleader.
Your lifesaver.
He’d tell you it was okay, everyone gets frustrated. Everyone has a breaking point. Just take a minute for yourself. Take a break from the crying. I got this. I can handle it and when you come back you’ll feel so much better, baby.
I love you, baby.
You’d wiped the paint from your cheeks, cleaned the chocolate from your legs and hands, took a few deep breaths and resigned yourself to the fact that your shirt and shorts were brown and orange now and that was that.
Splashed cold water on your face and redid your ponytail and when you looked back in the mirror you were surprised at how refreshed you looked. You weren’t back to 100%, but it was much better than before and when you opened the bathroom door you could hear Steve talking to Bea.
“So it’s a show about a dog family, huh?”
“Yes! Booey and Bingo! And mum and dad!”
You quietly walked down the hallway and leaned against the opening into the kitchen, watching for a just a minute as Steve sat at the table. Elbow leaning on Bea’s highchair tray and free hand feeding her pudding neatly from a spoon.
“And what’s dad say?”
“Cheeky kids!”
“Cheeky kids, huh?” Steve laughed, “Sounds very British. You’ve got sophisticated tastes, my friend.”
A smile tugged up at the corners of your lips as your chest squeezed again, but this time with something different. Not anxiety or stress or worry, but affection. Care. Love. God you loved this boy. So damn much and when he turned to look over his shoulder at you, you bit your lips between your teeth. Caught, but he didn’t care. He gave you smile, a little smug and a lot fond, and then turned back to Bea.
“Think it’s gonna be time for a nap soon, Bea,” he said, tone firm, but caring and the little girl scrunched her nose up. “I know, seems boring but–” he stood and took her bib off before lifting her gently from her highchair, “–I bet you’ll get to read a book first, hm? That sounds nice.”
“Yeah, we could read Owl Babies, Bea,” you chimed in, finally coming out from your hiding spot and the toddler’s eyes lit up at the sight of you.
“Yes! Yes! Blankie? And snuggles,” she said, squirming in Steve’s hold and making grabby hands at you. He chuckled and passed her off, brushing his thumb soft across your cheek, eyes only for you. Warm amber, burnt caramel, flecks of green and gold and you mouthed a thank you.
“Night, Bea. See you when you wake up,” he said, messing her hair a little as she let loose a big yawn.
“Nigh-nigh, Stee,” her little voice was sleepy now and when you turned to go up the stairs he mouthed an I love you, smile lopsided and just a little smug. Anticipating his favorite time of day. Bea’s nap and getting you all to himself on the couch for a couple of hours and he could hardly wait to get his hands on you, chocolate shorts and all.

Hi girl!! I don't know how to say this, but I love your writing and your sooo creative. I just wanted to say, im giving birth in a couple of weeks and it just hit me that I'm going to have a KID, LIKE WTH??? I did my research so there's nothing to worry about and I'm financially stable, its just, WEIRD??? I'm going to pop a baby out??please give some advice bc my hubby seems really cool about it and I'm just WHAT??😭
Trigger warnings- baby, mom life, and labor talk. Super long post 💕
✨️Congratulations to both of you and welcome to the hot moms club✨️
I went through an induction that turned into an emergency c section, so keep that in mind when reading my advice since I am not sure what form of labor you are opting for.
During Labor/Your hospital stay:
Bring a comfort idea to the hospital for before "active" labor and after. I brought my own pillow, and that made a world of difference. It was nice having something so familiar afterwards.
Don't eat anything you don't want to risk coming back up. Some hospitals will allow you to eat. Try to stick to the ice, juice, jello, or pudding. Italian shaved ice was also an option for me. And do bring snackies for after. You deserve it.
Don't panic if your birth plan does not turn out to be how birthing goes. I had planned on natural labor, no pain medication. I went in to be induced at 9pm December 13, by 2am I was in a lot of pain, by 7am I had an epidural.
Not to scare you, but the epidural can cause a few different reactions. Don't let that stop you from getting it. You HAVE to allow yourself to be as comfortable as possible, and your birth team will handle whatever curves are thrown their way.
If you are physically able to, do golden hour. In case it is called something different for you, golden hour is a full hour where the nursing staff leaves you and baby alone for skin to skin and nursing time. Tell your man I'm sorry, but he can wait. That hour is essential for building breastmilk supply if you're going to be EBF or EP. He can have baby after.
And let him have baby after. Daddy needs his own hour where baby is getting skin to skin with him.
It's going to be hard, but try not be mad if baby daddy sleeps after labor. He's going to have spent the last how ever long you were in labor in a heightened state of fight or flight because the woman he loves is in pain and there is nothing he can do for you. It's painful and all the exhausting for us. It's mentally and emotionally exhausting for them.
Do not (under any circumstances) let them force you into handling feedings one way or the other. Fed is best. Period.
Do not allow them to force you to have a nurse who makes you uncomfortable in any way. I know it's hard, but if a nurse is making you feel like you aren't doing enough, aren't listening to them, are making a wrong choice, ASK FOR A NEW NURSE. They should be supporting you.
If you're at a hospital where mom and baby sleep in one room, don't hesitate to say yes if a nurse asks if you want baby to go to nursery for a little bit. You both will need sleep. You deserve sleep. That nap will be precious. Trust me.
For home:
During bathing, try a swaddle method. It uses two towels, but it helps baby feel safe and secure. Here's a little link to an article about them
Take. Time. With. No. Visitors. You and baby daddy deserve time to adapt to your LO. It's a totally different ball game. We had 2 weeks alone. 2 weeks with just our parents. 2 weeks with our siblings. Then we opened the house to visitors who messaged us first.
Establish boundaries from jump. I made a post about on SM with a picture of our boundaries. Baby daddy enforced it.
Tumblr media
Enjoy those 2am cuddles. They go away so fast 🥺
If you do not mentally feel okay, tell people you trust. Immediately. PPD/PPA can quickly become postpartum psychosis when left untreated.
Remember you're gorgeous. Even if you don't feel that way. You literally grew a human. It is the most selfless thing you could do for your family, and in my opinion, the closest thing to magic.
Remember to be kind to yourself and baby daddy. You're both learning. It's hard. So hard.
Never feel guilty for a few minutes of screen time. Sophia gets about 30 minutes a week spread out throughout the week. Ms. Rachel is a great help.
From my baby daddy to yours
Get her the food she's been craving that she "can't have" which also meant you couldn't have it for her first post labor meal. Lizzy wanted sushi. Baby momma got her sushi.
Take pictures of her with your kid. Constantly without her knowing. Those pictures will get you through the work day.
Get up with her at night. We helped make the baby. We help with the baby.
No yelling. No fighting. I said one thing to Lizzy I regret deeply, and I don't know if she's genuinely forgiven me for it. This is hard on your baby momma. If she needs to vent. Let her. Don't fight her. Just get her down for a nap, man. That's all you can do sometimes.
Never tell her to sleep when the munchkin sleeps. That statement is the most unhelpful thing anyone said to Lizzy. Tell her instead to lay down and try to get some sleep, and you will listen for crying. She needs the comfort of knowing someone else is there.
Don't allow anyone to shame her for anything. I learned I will throw hands over someone shaming Lizzy. Luckily, it was with my brother. We're good now.
Make sure she gets to shower every day.
Love her. Love her and look out for any signs of her not being okay. Lizzy's was staring off into nothing and crying way too much.
Make sure you schedule time for both of you to get away and let her enjoy said time.
Skin to skin. Daily.
Lastly, get her a pump if she's breastfeeding. Trust me. It will help build supply, and it allows you to feed the little one.
If you two need ANYTHING, message me. I don't have all the answers, but I might have advice. 💕
Here's a few products we love for Sophia, too. Some of them are pricy. We apologize.
Dreamland weighted Swaddle
Diaper cream spatula
Calmoseptine Ointment
Bums and Roses - softest pj's ever and you can get matching ones.
Momcozy nail file
Lizzy's favorite stationary pump*
Lizzys favorite on the go/work pump*
The bottles baby daddy uses to feed Sophia sometimes
*check to see if insurance will help*
Overall, just enjoy your time together and your sweet little baby.💕💕
Ps- thank you for the compliments! I was so excited to give advice I almost brushed over them 🥺

For the Sake of a Smile (V.2) Chapter Sixteen
Title: For the Sake of a Smile (Revised)
Overall Rating: Mature (18+)
Chapter Rating: M for Mature. We've begun the 18+ content
Trigger warnings: Nothing beyond the child abuse hinted in the series, though we do explore the consequences a bit more.
Main Pairing: Balam Shichiro/Reader
Summary: Hell on earth was your motto for your job. Granted, you were pretty sure earth really was hell, considering the shit you had seen in your life. And the fact your coworker was a child. 
A child named Suzuki Iruma, in fact. A kid who’s life was decidedly worse than yours, but yet he smiled despite everything. It wasn’t long after meeting him that you decided you’d do a lot for his smile. Including summoning a literal demon and signing your soul away.
But as it turns out, hell (The Netherworld, actually) was a lot better than living on earth. Demons were more humane than a lot of humans you knew.
And Iruma’s smile wasn’t the only one that would change your life.
Masterlist | Ao3| Mairimashitai! Simps Discord
"...and then Purson started talking, and he didn't quit," Iruma explained in between bites of food. "He went from not saying a word to talking more with one breath than I thought was possible."
You recalled the lavender-haired child that you frequently saw tagging along with the rest of the Misfit class; he was quiet with an unusual apathetic expression on his face. Yet every time you went to ask if he was okay, he'd disappear into literal thin air.
Now, hearing Iruma's story, it made far more sense than the 'apparition haunting the library' like you had been leaning to believe. 
"And then it turns out he's the Pixie! You know, the mysterious trumpet player?"
You, Sullivan, and even Opera nodded. Everyone at Babyls knew about the trumpet player that announced the end of the school day with their vibrant and usually quick-tempo pieces.
"He has to be part of our musical!" Iruma continued with firm conviction. "Not just because he and Elizabetta need to rank up two ranks, but because he deserves the recognition!" 
His determined expression and conviction was heartwarming and inspiring. However, it was also partially ruined by his cheeks puffed with food, reminding you strongly of a hamster hoarding its food.
Well, maybe not not ruined. But the adorable picture Iruma created definitely outshone his words. 
"Why don't you focus on eating now, and plan later," You offered, biting back a smile while Opera pushed the tray laden full of desserts closer to him. Iruma eagerly accepted the idea and helped himself to some of his favorite pudding.
"What about you?" Sullivan asked, turning towards with an innocent smile. "Anything interesting happened today?"
You stared at your food acutely aware of everyone's attention now focused on you, full of expectation. You had heard the rumors that had circulated when Shichiro was late for his class, which had been the Misfits of all classes. 
You knew that this confrontation was inevitable, but you had yet to figure out how to deal with it. Your instinct was to deny, deny, deny, but… you knew that wouldn't work.
Besides, Shichiro was nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, just thinking about him fills you with a sense of warmth and happiness.
You just… didn't want to share how far your relationship had progressed over the lunch hour. Even if you replayed it repeatedly in your head all afternoon. And had plans recalling every detail when you had time to yourself tonight.
"I mean, I already told you guys we started courting," You said as you stabbed at the eel-like meat. "So of course we're going to spend time together when we can. We just… kinda lost track of time."  
"My baby girl is growing up so fast!" Sullivan cried happily, as if completely oblivious to how not-so-innocent your words sounded. Or, perhaps, oddly delighted considering his next statement. "Soon, I'll be able to hear the little click-clack of tiny clawed feet running around! And my beloved grandson will be a big brother!"
"Dad!" You protested, feeling yourself turn red at the implication. 
You forced that thought away and glanced over to Iruma, a little worried about his reaction to Sullivan's words. After all, he finally had a family he deserved - and you could completely understand if the thought of having to share his family would cause some��� issues. 
You could easily imagine being in his place, and the thought of having to share your newfound family would make you very jealous and even angry. 
Except the boy was grinning excitedly, obviously not at all bothered by the idea. Part of you relaxed as you realized he wasn't hiding any pain or anger at the thought.
But still… "We just started courting! Literally yesterday!" You protested as you turned back to your adoptive father. "It's far too soon to think about… about…" 
Children. Babies. With Shichiro.
Taking his huge girth in a different way. 
"Big brother?" Iruma asked, still obviously excited though there was a slight hint of confusion in his eyes. (And thankfully derailing your thoughts, preventing them from going much farther). 
"Look, Shichiro and I haven't had any kind of discussion about this," You stated softly yet firmly, hoping to end the conversation. "And I really think it's too early to start daydreaming about any kids."
Iruma was persistent as he slowly made his way to your side. "But, if you do… I'll be their big brother?"
You gave him a slight frown, confused by his question. Wasn't it obvious? "Well, yeah? Of course."
You soon ended up being tackled by Iruma as well as Sullivan. You squawked in an undignified manner, feeling rather squished between the two.
And then Opera draped themself over your shoulders; a picture in their hand to show you.
It was a photo of a young boy with white fluffy hair smiling at the camera while holding a small lizard creature towards the photographer. You could barely see long, large, too big for his body chick-feet - which made the picture even more adorable. It took you a moment to realize it was a very young Shichiro before whatever caused his scar.
A small squee escaped your throat despite your best efforts as your maternal instincts reared its head, temporarily overcoming your common sense.
He was just so cute!!! It causes your heart to squeeze unexpectedly, lost in those wide dark eyes both so similar and different from present-day Shichiro.
For a brief moment, you could easily see yourself mothering a few mini-Shichiros; those big feet and fluffy hair and that adorable smile, and then Iruma happily helping out and playing with his younger siblings - because he would be an amazing big brother. He'd be so kind and attentive as an older brother, showing interest in whatever they were playing with and carefully teaching them life lessons....
Oh. Devi. They had successfully corrupted you.
"Now dear, you need to cinch the deal and offer him something in return," Sullivan explained as he finally pulled back, a glint in his eye as if he knew your thoughts. "Show him you're just as serious about being in a committed relationship by giving him an Offering of your own." 
"Wait, what?!" 
--+--
Hours later found you no longer floating on cloud nine, but clutching to a plushie as you hid in a blanket fort that you and Iruma had built in your room.
Ever since Iruma's confession about missing the good part of the old days, you had made sure to set time aside at least a few nights a week for just you and him to spend time together. Which sometimes meant building a blanket fort in either his room or yours, and hiding away with plenty of tea, cookies, and occasionally one of the video game consoles to play.
Tonight though, it was just a flashlight keeping the fort lit and a small army of plushies as you brainstormed on the information Sullivan had dumped on you. 
"I have no idea what to get him!" You admitted with a whine as you buried your face in the pink monster plush, feeling less like a mother at the moment and more like a big sister. But, you didn't exactly have anyone else to talk to, and Iruma seemed unbothered by the topic of conversation.
In fact, he had a thoughtful expression on his face as he mulled over your words, squishing his own green frog-like plush. "I think he'll love whatever you get him, really."
"Maybe," You agreed reluctantly. "But… I really want to, you know, impress him." 
You looked at the bracelet on your wrist, which had mostly returned to its normal state. Shichiro had admitted that it had been an impulsive gift, but you loved the uniqueness of it.
You had to reciprocate. 
To your surprise, Iruma giggled. "Mom, I think you're stressing over nothing."
"They're customs are different!" You argued. "What if I fail some sort of standard? What if I do something that’ll make him hate me? Give him something that's rude, or inappropriate, or--"
"Mom, it's Balam," He calmed you, nudging you slightly and stopping your downward spiral. "He knows we're human. And really, it may be a bit different, but I hardly think it's that different. We've made it this far without any issues!"
You huffed, part of you admitting he had a valid point, but at the same time some intrinsic part of you was defiant and insisting that you were going to screw everything up.
"... have you ever dated before?" Iruma offered after a moment, striking at one of the core issues. You hadn't. You had never really been in a position where you felt comfortable to open yourself to another person like this. Sure there were one night stands and casual hook ups, but none that you had wanted to have a long, actual relationship with. 
Which was a big thing that still terrified you on some level. 
Your silence was proof enough for Iruma. The boy sighed, "And all I know are from books and manga…"
You smiled despite yourself. How have you been blessed with such a sweet boy? "Well, we've both had rather hellish lives until…"
"We were adopted by a demon lord and started living in the Netherworld?" Iruma finished with an amused tone.
"Exactly."
Iruma perked up, "Hey! Why don't you give him something from Earth?"
"How? We have no way of getting back." Though the idea was tempting. Knowing Shichiro, he would be elated with anything from Earth. Even if it was a handful of weeds or something like an ant farm.
"Did you bring anything with you?" Iruma asked, awakening an old memory. You did have your purse with you when Sullivan brought you here. So many months had passed since then, however, you honestly had no idea what might be in there.
You scrambled out of the blanket fort and made a bee-line for your closet. You dug to the back of the walk-in where your earth items were stored in a simple box, with your old shirt and pants lay on top. Opera initially wanted to burn them because of the blood and ink from your Summoning ritual - along with the other various stains - but you had protested enough that they had relented.
It… had been one of your best outfits before. Now, you could understand why Opera wanted to trash it as you looked at it. The outfits you wore when you helped with chores looked ten-times nicer. You wouldn't even want to wear the outfit to muck the nightmares' stable.
It was a stark reminder how much your life had improved.
Iruma reached you after you found your purse and was digging through it. But all that was in there were some cheap sunglasses, feminine supplies (which you no longer needed, thanks to the miracle of magic potions to quell your cycle), a few stray bills and coins (the remains of your savings, now absolutely useless), an old tattered book you had bought at a second hand store (well loved and showing the wear and tear of being shoved into your bag), a couple of rocks you had seen and thought they were neat, a thick keyring full of keys you needed for work, some very dried out bubblegum, and half-used lip balm.
Nothing that struck you as something worthy of a gift. In fact, they felt more like harsh reminders of a time when all of these items meant so much to you. So much so that you had to carry them everywhere. 
Now they seemed so utterly trivial and useless.
You sighed in defeat, slumping against the wall and allowing Iruma to sort through the items. What you wouldn't give for something like a biology book. Or a plant of any kind, even a dandelion or tuft of grass.
Would - could - Sullivan allow you to return just to grab something from your old home? Surely there would be something there Shichiro would love….
"I think the books and rocks would be good," Iruma said, holding the items up. "He would like those."
An argument sat on your tongue, looking at the book-- a cute romance story to be sure, but it certainly  wasn't anything really thrilling. And the three rocks were barely bigger than pebbles but caught the light and sparkled faintly, which is why they had caught your attention.
But, you really didn't have any better ideas. And they were from Earth. Would that be enough?
"...if I can't find anything else," You agreed with a sigh, and hoped Shichiro would feel like the meaning of the gesture meant more than the gifts themselves. 
--+--
By the next morning you hadn't thought of a better idea - let alone find something you thought would be more impressive to give to Shichiro as an offering.
So you tucked the book and stones in a small box, then hid them away in your bag as you waited for Shichiro's lunch period. While the morning was filled with helping various first-year classes prepare for the music festival, it still seemed to drag on as you kept worrying about his reaction.
Would he appreciate the gesture? Or would he find it anticlimactic?
Lunch approached, and you went to the cafeteria to pick-up a meal you knew Shichiro enjoyed before making your way to his Prep Room.
Despite your nerves, his office still felt like a safe and cozy space to you. You set down the tray on the coffee table before heading towards one of the many bookshelves to keep yourself distracted while you waited.
If there was a reason behind his own arrangement, it was beyond you. But to be fair, many of the books here were beyond those in the library as well, focusing on advanced subjects in biology--both for creatures as well as botany.
Though in the Netherworld, the line between the two was far more blurred than with earthly plants and animals.
A small chirp caught your attention. You looked up to the mass of vines covering the ceiling, and saw a pair of yellow spiraled eyes looking down at you. 
"Hey baby," You coo'd up at Nigyul, currently the size of a large housecat, smiling softly as you recalled Shichiro's words from the day before. "Are you standing guard up there while papa's out?"
Nigyul chirped again, and before you knew it; he jumped from the vines, apparently trusting you would catch him. Which you did - as well as have a heart attack while you instinctively clutched him to your chest, the breath knocked from your lungs at the sudden weight.
His wide yellow eyes peered up at you, quite calm and maybe happy as he settled in your arms. "You little devil," You sighed after a moment, letting out a breath you didn't realize you had been holding. "Giving me a heart attack. I am not your papa, I am not used to things like that, okay?"
He merely blinked at you, causing you to sigh once more as you shifted to scratch his head. "You're lucky you're so cute, you know? I would say something about looking like an overgrown weed, but you actually are, so…" He gave another chirp - as if he was agreeing with you, making you grin and give into the impulse to nuzzle your nose against his snout.
"Yes, you're a very adorable overgrown weed. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who's told you that. Knowing Shichiro, he's told you plenty of times as well." 
"I have, actually," Shichiro agreed, making you freeze. You slowly looked over your shoulder to where the demon was leaning against the bookcase; rather amused, judging by the crinkled corners of his eyes.
"How long have you been there?" You squeaked, almost sounding like Nigyul.
"I saw him jump down," He offered, making you blush.
"So… you heard all of that?"
"I did," He confirmed, sounding rather pleased. He shifted and walked towards you, easily wrapping his arms around you to look over your shoulder down at the dragon before he murmured quietly, "I…I really like hearing you call me Shichiro."
Your heart seemed to do a series of flips as he focused on the wooden-dragon. "And you need to behave. No giving our lady heart attacks, okay?"
Nigyul chirped again, leaning into Shichiro's hand when the demon stroked the long wild mane as you struggled with your heart pounding between his admission, the term 'our lady' along with his arm wrapped around your waist, pulling you close to him.
"I, uh, brought lunch?" You offered, your voice still a squeak. "I also kinda-got-you-a-gift." The words came out as a rush as you buried your face in Nigyul's mane, breathing in the musty scent of a forest after a heavy rain in an attempt to calm yourself.
"A gift?" He asked, tone full of surprised happiness.
"Mmhmm," You hummed without moving away from Nigyul. "Um, I guess it's customary from what Dad told me?"
His arm tightened fractionally around you, his voice dropping slightly in a way that sent pleasant shivers down your spine. "An offering?"
"Yeah?"
Nigyul moved suddenly, jumping out of your arms and onto the bookcase before climbing up to the thicket of vines. You had no time to react as Shichiro picked you up a split-second later, easily shifting you in his arms so your legs straddled his waist as you were suddenly eye-level with him.
"You have an offering. For me," He repeated, disbelieving as you automatically gripped his shoulders. 
"Was… I not supposed to?" You swore that was what Sullivan had said, but maybe you misunderstood him?
"No - I mean, yes, that is traditional, I just… I wasn't expecting anything," He explained, flustered. You could see pink creeping into his cheeks above his mask.
"It may not be as grand as you're thinking," You warned, fingers mindlessly striking the feathers covering his shoulders as you avoided his gaze. "I didn't know what to get, and well - Iruma convinced me that giving you something from Earth would be a good idea, but all I have was, well, you'll see…"
Shichiro said your name with such tenderness as his gloved fingers touched your cheek. "No matter what it is, I will cherish it. It's the fact that you are giving me something that means the most to me."
You could see the signs of a smile around his eyes, and hesitated only for a moment before reaching up to unlatch his mask; fingers easily finding the small clasps. You could feel him freeze, holding his breath as you pulled the metal away carefully.
"I-I like your smile," You admitted. "I wanted to be able to see it properly."
The surprised look on his face shifted into a smile you barely saw a hint of before he buried his face in the space between your neck and shoulder.
"Are you…embarrassed?" You said as he continued to hide his face.
"Maybe?" He mumbled against your skin, sending goosebumps traveling down your spine. "No one's said that before."
You softened and played with his hair, knowing he enjoyed that, though maybe not as much as during his molt. "I do," You confessed. "I love it when you smile, and I like being able to see it even more."
Shichiro looked up, his nose brushing yours as he rested his forehead against yours. "Devi, you're so perfect. And whatever you brought is perfect as well."
You rolled your eyes despite the smile on your face and the warmth in your chest, "Shichiro, open it first before calling it perfect. You don't even know what it is."
He shifted you in his arms to carry you instead of setting you down, causing giggles to erupt as he made his way to where the simple black box sat next to the food (that was growing cold, easily forgotten yet again). It was apparent that if you thought his skin-ship habit was intense before, you had been sorely mistaken. He made it obvious he wasn't letting go as he settled on the couch before the coffee table and perched you on his lap.
He handled the box gently, carefully opening the lid to reveal the book and three stones nestled inside. Seeing the simple objects made you feel even more awkward. He was going to realize how stupid and silly your offering was, and…
"Amazing," He breathed as he tenderly took the items out. "An actual human manuscript! And rocks! From earth!"
"It's a romance story," You supplied pessimistically, "And they're little more than pebbles."
"I forgot - you can read this, can't you?" He asked as he flipped through the yellowed pages, which surprised you before remembering Sullivan's spell when you first arrived.
"I forgot that you couldn't," You replied honestly, feeling foolish. Iruma had explained that was the basis of how his and Ameri's friendship started--her fascination with 'the forbidden texts' that she couldn't read.
Which was also a cute romance story, now that you thought about it.
Shichiro was quiet, his eyebrows furrowed as he thought. You enjoyed the serious expression, because it was rather cute and also tended to lead in interesting conversations. "Do humans have more than one language--and I don't mean different regional dialects, but a different language."
"Oh yeah," You answered off-handedly, rather thankful for the topic change. "There's easily hundreds - maybe thousands - of different languages. And there's different alphabets and such too, some of which look completely different from the others."
"But if your world is more peaceful, why use so many?"
You sighed, leaning into him a little more, "That… is a very heavy and philosophical question. But honestly, it's not as peaceful as you dream it to be. We may not have the same threats as the Netherworld does, but it's far from a utopia."
Shichiro was quiet as he rolled the stones in one hand, the clacks echoing through the room.
"Do you wish to return?"
You shifted in his lap, able to see the worried expression on his face so clearly with his mask missing. You remembered the conversation from before, of when you thought about how everything would be better if you did. Not for yourself, but for Iruma and everyone else. 
But now….
"No," You stated firmly, cupping his cheek. "I am so much happier here. My life… Iruma was my only joy back on Earth to the point I gave up everything to find him when he went missing. But here… he's not the only thing that makes me happy. Even if, for some impossible reason, he wanted to return to Earth, I would stay here."
His shoulders slumped with relief, and you realized he must have been worrying about that possibility. You leaned up and pressed a kiss to his lips to try and reassure him more.
He accepted and returned the gesture with a surprising amount of desire. Your hands ran from his cheek, down his neck before bracing against his broad shoulders while his hands settled almost hesitantly - touch feather-light. You were a moment away from reaching his hand to press it more firmly to your curves - desperate for the heavy weight of his large hands - when the scream of the class bell broke the silence.
Ah. Right. You reluctantly pulled away from his lips, though remained close enough your breath mingled with his. "I suppose you have class…"
"I do," He sighed, playing with your hair. "Unfortunately. However, my class is just next door…"
"Shichiro!" You laughed, about to argue his implication before he silenced you with a kiss. His fingers gripping you firmly as you shifted, holding you in place.
"Five more minutes," He stated - or maybe plead - between kisses. And well, you really couldn't argue with that.
Although…. "If you end up late to class again, you know we're never going to hear the end of it."

"Hey Clara, what's it like having younger siblings?"
The green-haired demon blinked at Iruma's question before grinning.
"It's super-duper fun! Granted, when they're itty-bitty they like to cry a lot, but when they get older you get to play all sorts of games with them! And you can teach them all sorts of things! Like when I taught my brothers how to do the Char-Char dance!" She jumped up to show the other two the dance, though it wasn't anything like the choreography that Kerori was trying to teach them. It was wild and chaotic such that would only befit a fast-pace tempo.
"Why are you wondering about younger siblings, Master Iruma?" Asmodeus asked after politely applauding Valac's dance (though he would refrain from ever calling it that.)
The boy flushed as he scratched his neck. "Just, uh, the conversation the other day at home. I realized that someday, I might become a big brother." His usual smile faded slightly as he looked up at the sky through the canopy of the tree they were lounging under. "I've never had siblings before, and I haven't spent a lot of time around little kids either. So, as exciting as the idea is, I'm kinda nervous about it."
"Oh! Iruma-kins can come over to my house!" Clara eagerly offered. "You know my baby sibs! You can have plenty of practice there!"
"I-I have younger cousins that live with me," Asmodeus quickly interjected, not wanting to miss out on the opportunity. "They would be great practice as well! Not that you would need much, Master Iruma! You've already proven that you'll be great with younger demons."
Iruma turned red as he smiled shyly. "Do you think so?"
"Absolutely!" Both demons exclaimed at the same time.
"No matter what, any demon that has you for an older brother will be highly honored," Asmodeus continued.
"Yeah! And they'll also have me and Az-Az!" Clara clapped. "And we can be their big sister and brother too!"
The thought made Iruma relax into a grin. He wouldn't have to figure out what it meant to be a big brother by himself; he'd have his friends by his side. He'd have you, too. After all - before you had officially adopted him, he had seen you as a big sister.
Along with Grandpa, Opera, and everyone else really. Both Sabnock and Kerori had younger siblings, while Jazz and Lied had older siblings. Surely - between them - he'd figure out how to be a good brother.
