[opens-up-4-nobody]

Is it too much to ask for a piece of media to completely and irreparablly shatter my heart? I just want my mind to bend and my perception to be completely altered forever, that's all. That is my simple wish.

[perenlop]

i never liked the manpain trope and tbf i think warrior cats was always gonna be the thing to send me into absolutely hating it, but also i think having been exposed to taranza's character arc before having read any of the books didnt help in that matter because he raised the manpain bar way too high

like honestly taranza is in the same league as amelia from infinity train to me because hes not like "oh im a cool brooding guy.... my sweet soft gf helps me not kill.... but now that shes been brutally murdered, i HAVE to be a horrible fucking person and hurt the people around me and this makes me an ok guy still bc thats Epic" hes "i was in love with my queen/best friend and gave her a gift that actually ended up being cursed, it drove her insane and she became a dictator that i enabled because i thought she could do no wrong, i helped her with her war crimes including imprisoning everyone and killing people i think, until she threw me aside and tried to become a god, made me realize she wasnt the woman i fell in love with anymore, and i assisted the heroes in mercy killing her because she was a danger to herself and the kingdom. but i cant accept her death, i cant accept that i unintentionally caused this, i cant do this, i will bring her back no matter how much it takes, i will break the laws of life and death to get her back, the REAL her back, no matter what, even if it kills me"

ep 9 is a lot to process uhm

[noblest-roman-of-them-all]

This morning my brain gave me an awful game idea called Truth and Dare. The idea was everyone in the group took turns asking questions about the other players, and if two or more players had answered the same (two or more people answering "blue" to "What's your favorite color?") then they were issued a dare by the asker.

How did I come up with this idea you ask? Well, I had a dream I was back in high school and I was playing this aforementioned game with Roman Sanders, Nico Di Angelo, Gerry Keay, and two guys I actually when to high school with. It didn't get too weird as far as none of us had to complete a dare, but we were playing at the school's cemetery over Nico's grave.

Buggy

The crew was quick to follow orders, Cabaji grabbing you as others grabbed your sons. Dragging you from the restaurant you called a home and out onto the streets, screamed fill the air as the village was being ripped apart. Your boys crying out in fear as the crew harshly brought you onto the ship you once were apart of.

You yelped as you were thrown into Buggy's room. Your boys being tossed in as well, you quickly grabbed Dee and Bee and brought them to your chest. Running your hands through their hair as they sobbed against you, shaking like a leaf and terrified.

"Ssshh it's okay my loves it's okay" you whisper trying to soothe them, holding them tightly to try and ward away the bad dream. After a few hours they finally fell asleep, You carefully rolling up and placing them on Buggy's large bed. It wouldn't be best to let them sleep in your arms since they were fairly large and when asleep could kick and roll. You couldn't risk injury if you were going to escape with the twins.

You tucked them into the big stripped bed and sighed- Surrounded by more of this circus shit made them look way more like Buggy then you cared to admit. Smoothing Dee and Bee wild blue locks with your hand you sighed heavily. Trying to come up with a plan to escape- but the plotting was short lived as the bedroom door opened.

Buggy stared at you and then glanced at the boys as they slept soundly in his bed. He was holding a large tray and set it down on the side table, meeting your eyes as he picked up a fork and took a bite from each both and even a bite of the bread, before taking a seat clearly wanting to show it was safe to eat and feed the children. You looked at the food it was 3 healthy servings of pasta with fresh bread and 3 drinks, 2 milks and a ale. You looked at him in question but you didn't dare voice anything. Instead gently shaking the twins awake-

"Eh? Mom?..." Dee mumbled as he rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Dinner is here" You say calmly, holding a bowl out to Dee who gently took it in his tiny hands before waking up Bee with a bit more force and doing the same. Splitting the bread in half and giving each half to your sons to make sure they had full bellies.

You ate your own food, Watching as the twins hungrily ate there like they hadn't had a meal before, havjng to make sure they didnt mess up the nice bed. However you kept glancing back at Buggy, feeling his eyes on you.

He sat across the room stull, watching you closely as you wiped their faces clean with your dress and handing them their drinks and even taking your own ale and sipping it. You saw Bee wat hibg Buggy closely, the two staring at each other silently.

"What are you looking at Old Man?-" Bee snapped as he glared at Buggy. You snapping your finger quickly at him.

"Attitude-" You hissed in warning. However heard a shuffle to see Buggy snorting a laugh and turning away to giggle-

"Damn these really are my Kids- I was at least 90% sure before but now it's 100%!" He laughed, actually Wiping the tears from his face.

"Mom what is he talking about?" Dee questioned first, raising a brow at the Clown in their room.

"Yeah and whats with hi-" You smacked your hand over your sons mouth. Knowing that the following question would lead to a fight you didn't have the strength for.

"Boys this is your father... Buggy the Clown. He's a Pirate Captian"

"Our Dads a clown-" Bee deadpanned as his face looked at you in what can only be described as confused horror. You sighing mentally by this, as Dee stared at Buggy suspiciously.

"How do we know?-" Dee started, But Buggy pulled the hat from his head and bandana to show his blue locks that were identical to their.

"Our Dads a Clown!?" Bee said again this time

"I'm a porate clown-" Buggy shot back as he frowned at the boy. The two locking in gaze of equal stubbornness and attitude.

Dee started to say"Is that why you took us?" But was cut off gloriously by Bee"If you're our dad then you suck! Why did you grab mom by her hair and make her cry!" He proclaimed, Jumping up on the bed and pointing to Buggy angrily. You urging the boy to sit down, But Buggy's gaze softened.

"I apologize- I didn't see it was her or else I would have never raided you town. Instead just picked you three up to take with me" He admitted calmly. The seemed to take the wind from Bee's sails as he sat back down- You also surprised to hear Buggy apologize or be so vulnerable.

"I want to have you three here with me and be apart of my children's life" Buggy started as he stared at you- You started to protest but he held up a hand.

"60 Days, that's all I ask. If in 60 days you don't want me in their lives I'll drop you and the boys off at a Marine Base with some berry. Enough to be comforble for the rest of your lives"

It was a good deal- a damn good deal. It's not like you had a berry to your name or a place to return to. That and he genuinely seemed interested in the boys, you gave a defeated sigh.

"Alright... 60 days- then we will talk from there" Buggy smiled at hearing you agreeing to this. Excitement shining in his eyes as he jumped up from his seat.

"Perfect! You all rest here. I'll leave and bring some supplies for you all" Buggy said calmly as he stood up and quickly left, a grin plastered on his face as he left you.

You should have known that Buggy was planning something. For the next 3 days it was like he turned the ship into a child's dream. There was suddently a absurd about of toys, sweets, every game imaginable too seemed to have suddently appeared. Buggy all to happy to shower the twins in anything they asked for, played any game they wanted.

You inwardly sighed as you watched the twins start to warm up to Buggy, More like clinging to him. Bee seemingly the most interested in him while Dee seemed to just love sailing. Having to be coaxed down from the crows nest were he would hide all day. At the mess hall however is were they fit in the best- It was like Buggy had cloned himself the two perfect best friends, aka himself.

Dee had taken to keeping his hair up due to his time in the crows nest and also had become more confident- pushing his brother back whenever he messed with him a bit too much- As for Bee it was like Buggy 2.0- Loud, flashy and ready to find trouble. It had been only 3 days but so much had changed, Currently it being evening dinner time.

Sitting next to Buggy in the mess hall, who had made it a habit of keeping you close you glared as your son then Buggy who was just laugjing "Benny (Y/L/N) get your monkey ass here right now!" You yelled as you saw your son running down the tables of the mess hall. Singing a made of sea shanty that the rest of the freaks were actually drinking and singing along to.

"Let the boy have some fun (Y/N)! It's not like he's hurting anyone- Besides what's the worse that can happen! Stop with the snooty attitude" Buggy proclaimed with a laugh, you saw Dee get a mischievous look in his eye before slipping under the table. You give a sarcastic smile, knowing your twins all too well.

"Fine then, I won't be snooty for the next hour whatever they damage you gotta clean" You proposes with a smile. He laughed and nodded.

"Deal! Finally now we can have some fu-"

And like a symphony of madness all hell broke lose. Dee had popped put from under the table and grabbed Bee's foot nid step. The singing child falling into a massive bowl of mashed potatos which managed to spray everywhere- coating all the people at the table in potatos and the floor which made a few Crewmates who had been walking slip and slam into tables flinging more food and creating more mess paired with a hunk of cake landing right in Buggy's face. Wiping the frosting as he watched the two boys make a run from the mess hall cackling like two Imps.

"Boys!!" He yelled, trying to wipe more of the pink frosting from his face. You smiled and handed him a napkin.

"Have fun Captian!~" You said with a grin and patted his shoulder as Buggy sat there red faced and glaring at you half heartedly. As if taking your cue, you got up and left. Giggling as you hear Buggy snap at some crewmates to grab something to help clean the mess.

Deciding to take the time for yourself you went to the main deck. Leaning against the rails as you watched the dark waves of the ocean and the setting sun. You couldn't lie and say you didn't miss the ocean, or the time to yourself. You stood there watching as the sun set and plunged the ship into darkness, the lanterns of the ship turning on as well as the ship seemed to be sailing in darkness.

"Enjoying your free time?" A deep voice snapped you from your thoughts. Seeing Buggy walking towards you, his face washed of makeup and hair in a ponytail. Having clearly just bathed after getting the mess hall cleaned.

"Yeah, I forgot how nice it is being on this ship.. How are the boys?" Buggy smiled at hearing you enjoying yourself before shrugging.

"Got them washed up and put them to bed.....They seem to like me" He boated, seemingly proud he had formed such a strong bond.

"That they do" You reply. Watching as he put his hands in his pockets a bit awkwardly, that tough Captian Facade crumbling a bit under his own anxiety.

"(Y/N) Why did you leave?... Was it me? Were you ashamed of me or-" He started, the back of his hand brushing against his nose as the enxiety slammed into his chest.

"What?.. No that's not why I left Buggy- I was scared. How the hell was I suppose to go through pregnancy on a ship? Hell the labor?! That was 36 hours to give birth to both of them!" Buggy winced at the thought, you leaned against the railing and stared at him.

"It was the fact that I couldn't predict how you would react and no idea how to raise a baby here. So in a village with at least some stability seemed like the best option- Even if it ment having to do it alone"

You admit, Buggy messing with his gloved hands. Sadness bleeding through his gaze as he sighed.

"I suppose- I can see your point... but I would have put everything on hold if I knew-" Buggy admitted, before rubbing the back of his head a bit hesitantly.

"You know- We only got 60 days and I've been wanting to take a vacation. Drop off the crew maybe for a bit and I know this really nice island" Buggy said casually. Your eyebrows raising at hearing this- He wanted to stop pirating just for you and the twins?

"What?-" You started but he cut you off quickly. "I mean it would only be a little bit of course- unless something urged me to stay a bit longer. However I think being on the open ocean can be damaging for super long term- I mean the meals can cause scurvy and who knows what else" He quickly justified, even at this distance you could see his ears turning red. You couldn't help but giggle at this, which caught his attention quickly.

"I'd like that Buggy.. But I don't want to take you away from what you love" you say, Watching Buggy take a hesitant step towards you.

"Who knows... 60 days can quickly turn into eternity.. if you want it to.. and i lost what i loved once- Ill never let that happen again" He said locking eyes with you which made you smile brighter.

Shanks

It had been 3 weeks since Shanks arrived- and it had been one journey, The man clearly loved to be a father. Willing to do anything for Vivian, her having the powerful pirate wrapped around her little finger and not even knowing it.

Shanks having let his crew take the time for essentially a vacation on his dime while ge stayed in your guestroom. Excited every morning to wake up and play with his daughter. He bought her so many toys, a chest full of pretty dresses, a giant stuffed monkey and a play wood sword since she had been so interest in his.

She had even taken to tying her favorite green ribbon on his sword since "It looks pretty" and he didn't have the will power to take it off. So for the most part, it had been complete and total bliss.

It was early morning when you heard some loud Noises coming from the kitchen area of your home- Getting up from bed and put on your robe and walked to see what all the noise was.

You stood in the kitchen with a raised eyebrow, the only word fitting this situation was- Hilarious. There sat Shanks, sat on the floor with his back leanes against the oven holding a old muffin. His eyes were covered in a thick layer of green glittery eyeshadow (from your makeup bag) hot red lipstick that was sneered on other parts of his face. Some bows randomly scattered in his red hair. His coat that usually covered his missing arm dropped over your daughter who was still in her baby blue tight gown and she was dragging behind her as she adding things to the spread on the floor. A bag of sugar, some water, a scattering of teabags and whatever had been in the fridge- including half eaten sandwiches and cupcakes which Shanks was currently chewing on.

"Starlight, I don't think there is anyway you can make the wate- I mean tea any sweeter" He said calmly, Watching Vi try to pour more sugar into her little China set with her chubby hands. Shanks cringing a bit at this as she poured him a cup and handed it to him.

"See! Now it's perfect!" She chimed and giggled loudly. He gave a smile as he set aside his muffin and sipped the tea, trying to suppress the cringe from the unholy amount of sugar that was mixed with water and a hint of a poor teabag.

"It's delicious Baby Girl- Fantastic" He choked out, working through a smile as he forced himself to take another sip. You couldn't help bit to laugh, which brought the attention of both Red Heads.

"Mommy!" Vivian chimed loudly running towards you still wearing Shank's cloak and you scooped her up carefully.

"I must say Shanks, you look fabulous" You said with a smile. Shanks Grinning up at you as he sat on the floor.

"I always thought I'd look good in green" He said, Gesturing to the sloppy eyeshadow. Rolling himself up to his feet as he smiled down at you.

"By the way are you ready for today?" You raised a brow-

"Oh boy what do you have planned?" Shanks only gave a wide smile before grabbing a box from the kitchen table and holding up a lovely yellow sundress for you and a similar one for Vivian.

"Fun day out!"

Shanks hadnt beem kidding about a fun day, staring with a lovely resturant on the island, sailing, having in a meadow and then time out at the park the sun started to set. Shanks held Vivian who was passed out against him, walking back to your home. The two of you talking about the time you two where together in the past.

"Thank you (Y/N).." He said softly, Smiling as he watched the sun set and the two of you walked up hill.

"For what?" He smiled brightly at you "Making me the happiest man in the world" You couldn't help but blush at hearing this. Looking away bashfully as you came up to your home, Seeing a man standing there a bit awkwardly.

"Yasopp! Glad you stopped by, This is (Y/N) and my darling daughter Vivian. She's asleep right now but I'm sure she'd love to meet ya"

Shank smiled brightly at seeing his fellow crewmate. However the look on Yasopp face said otherwise.

"Its lovely to meet you (Y/N)... but Captian- we have to talk.." He said softly, Shanks frowning at the tone he gave before gently passing Vivian to you.

"I'll be in a sec" He said, nodding you quickly head inside to get Vivian ready for bed. Yasopp and him talked outside, Shanks looked angry. Staring at the letter and running his hand through his hair clearly stressed. You finished cleaning Vivians face and got her in her PJs, tuckering her in for the night. In the hallway you could hear the should of bottles shifting, turning to see Shanks in the kitchen grabbing the bottle of whiskey you kept on the top shelf- his face twisted in anger as he plopped on the couch.

"You have to leave.. don't you-" You finally blurted out, watching him open the bottle with his teeth and take a sip. His eyes shiny with unshed tears, he nodded soberly as he took a hard swig of the drink.

"Shanks you can't finally meet her and just leave her life-" You stressed, anger bubbling in your chest as you stared at him. He sat slunched in the chair a swirling of different emotions in his eyes.

"They need my help.. and I can't risk it (Y/N).... I can't risk them finding out about you and Vi... they would kill you both" He whispered, shock slamming into you. Your eyes drifting to Vivian's room were she laid sleeping.

"...How long will you be gone" You whispered finally, sitting down on your sofa sadly.

"I don't know..." He whispered, defeat written on his face. Holding the bottle out to you, which you took and started to sip before passing it back.

"When do you leave?" Shanks took another heavy swig of the drink and held it out to you. "Tomorrow morning..." You nod at this- Taking another sip of the whiskey.

"...I-Is she going to hate me?" Shanks whispered, Looking up at were he knew Vi was. You shook your head "She doesn't have it in her heart to hate.." You said softly. He nodded at this and messed with the ribbon she tied on his sword, staring at it hard.

"I love her (Y/N).... so much it hurts.." His voice cracked. But he instead stood up, taking a heavy breath.

"I'm going to get some sleep... you should as well" He said softly, Turning and walking back to the guest room. Leaving you alone with the whiskey bottle, as you put it back in its rightful place. You could have sworn you heard hushed sobs... but left them be and went to cry in your own bed as well.

In the morning, the nice breakfast was made. Shanks feeding Vivian her oatmeal and letting her talk his ear off, you knew he needed this moment. Needed to have this with her. Once breakfast was finishes the three of you started the walk to the docks, Vivian holding Shanks hand as they talked about the pretty ocean.

Walking to the docks he saw the ship being loaded up, Vivian staring in awe at the massive vessel and giggled at the sight of all the men who stared at her and gave friendly waves. Shanks taking a deep breath to look at you both. Hurt shining in his eyes as he swallowed a hard lump in his throat. Kneeling down he looked at Vivian, his hand cupping her chubby cheek as he took a shaky breath holding back tears clearly. "Princess, I've got to go for a while.."

"But why?... you just got here?"

"I know baby girl- But, see there is this trouble maker- His name is Luffy. Think of him as your big brother, he needs my help.. And I don't want to put you and your Mommy in danger while I go get him. So I have to leave-"

He said, Biting his bottom lip for a second as he let a few tears roll down his cheek. Reaching into his pocket and pulling out a solid gold coin- it was quite large and he carefully handed it to Vivian. Her little fingers holding the big coin and touching the detailed design thay decorated it, his Jolly Roger.

"But I promise I'll be back.. but until I do- you have to keep this with you. It's special, it will protect you from Pirates- And when I come back, and I promise I will. I'll trade you that coin for your ribbon back okay?"

He said softly, watching Vivian smile up at him at the promise.

"Okay Daddy.." She said softly before jumping and hugging around his neck. He held her tightly, wrapping his arm around her as if he didn't want to let go.

"Captian-" Yassop said softly, Shanks nodding and carefully standing up. Handing Vivian to you a bit reluctantly, Vivian own eyes starting to water. You held her close as tears rolled down your own cheeks. Shanks leaning in and kissing the tears on your face and one gingerly on your lips.

"I'll see you two again, I swear" He said softly, Stepping back as he followed after his crew. The crew somber like their Captian as he boarded, yelling out commands to set sail. Looking back as the ship began to leave the harbor, Waving at the two of you. Vivian waving back gently as tears rolled down her chubby cheeks clutching the coin close to her chest.

You and Vivian standing on the docks as you watched the ship sail and disapear over the horizon. You sniffles and wiped your eyes of the tears you didn't know had still been running down your cheeks.

Your daughter looking at you and wiping your tears, giving you a smile just like Shanks "Don't worry Mommy.. Daddy said he'd be back"

Mihawk

You stood in your tiny kitchen, rubbing your temple as the days situation settled on your bones. Your son standing next to you chopping vegetables silently, Clearly ignoring the elephant in the room.

"Alucare- Do you want to-"

"No" He cut you off quickly, quickly cutting down on a carrot like it had wronged him. You sighed at this setting the kettle on the stove to start a pot of tea. Knowing damn well what was coming- right on cue there was a knock to the door.

Turning you went to let in the Warlord, he looked like a kicked puppy. Awkwardly standing there at your door with his hat removed, his eyes glancing up at you hesitantly.

"(Y/N)..." He said softly, surprising you that he had even remembered your name. He stepped to the side, inviting him into your home and guiding him to your dining room were he took a seat at the kitchen table.

You took a seat as well, Alucare not turning from preparing the vegetables. A awkward silence following the trio as there was only the sound of chopping.

"Mihawk.. It's been a while" You finally speak, the Warlord nodding in agreement. Silence falling over you two again.

"Oh for God's sake. Alucare sit down please, we are going to get this out" You said, Hearing the shuffle of your son moving from his spot and sitting next to you. You couldn't help but stare in awe- The two sitting across from each other made it seem like they were looking at some odd mirror, they looked almost identical except for the age and minor changes.

"Mihawk this is Alucare, your son. As we can clearly can see. Alucare this is your father Dracule Mihawk"

You introduce, swallowing thickly as the two continued to stare at each other. Silence falling again over you all, Mihawk sighed and rubbed his temple. Turning his eyes away from this odd sort of staring contest.

"Alucare.. That's a good name.. How old are you?" Mihawk asked, staring at his child for a moment before Alucare looked away.

"I'm 16..." He said softly, Mihawk nodding at this before his eyes landed on you.

"How come you didn't tell me- I would have been here, helped you. I have a home and more" He asked, his eyebrows betraying him in pure confusion and he frowned. You sighed and rubbed the back of your neck.

"I was scared- How would it look like if some random person claimed to have some famed Warlords child.." You mumbled, still embarrassed by the whole ordeal. "Besides it wasn't even until after are alleyway escapades that I understood who you were-"

"I see..." Mihawk sighed as he stared at Alucare again, who seemed to grow a bit uncomforble at the direction of this conversation.

"Alucare do you wish to ask something of your father?-" You encouraged. Wanting to create a olive branch between the two.

"What is there me to ask? It's not like it's a secret that we are related or his reputation. The only thing I would wonder is how you found out about us-" Alucare said a bit dismissively, you felt genuine surprise at this. He had never shown anyone disrespect before until now-

"There were rumors of you that traveled to a Marine Base I was at- how a child looked like the famed Mihawk... eyes and all" Mihawk clarified. Alucare only rolling his matching yellow eyes at this, standing up from his seat.

"I'll be dismissing myself. Thanks for the talk" He said calmly, walking out the back door and slamming it shut behind him. You sighed and looked to Mihawk

"Hes normally not like that, I don't know what to say" You admit. But the Warlord just stood up with a understanding nod.

"Hes angry... that I understood.. I'll return" He said before following out the back door as well.

Standing by the grove of trees next to the house Alucare let the cool blade of the knives brush over his fingers, sighing as he quickly released the blade at lightning speed at the carved target on the old tree hitting bulls eye. Alucare walking to retrieve the lone blade and repeat the process.

"Impressive shot-" The deep voice only belonging to Mihawk sounded behind the teen. Alucare glancing back at the man as he resumed his position and went back to throwing his blade.

"Thanks I suppose-" Alucare mumbled as he continued to task. Mihawk sighing softly as he glanced at the sky.

"What is the true reason you resent me- One that you don't wish to express with your mother around" He finally asked, staring at the sky. Alucare faltering in his movements for a moment, keeping the blade in his hands for a moment.

"If you had been anyone else she wouldn't have had to suffer so much-" He admitted, his eyes showing a deep sadness as he sighed "I saw the way they looked at her, despite her smiling and ignoring it.. how she acted as a human shield for me. Because we share blood- How she would sit on the bed after working day and night to put that home over our head... how tired she was and then emotionally carying the brunt of people looking at her in either pity, fear otlr disgust for my sake"

He admitted, throwing the blade once again watching the blade stick deeply into the tree the handle being the only thing that showed. Mihawk quietly listened and clenched his hands.

"I understand... if I had known I would have protected her... I would have protected you- Nothing I can say can make up for 16 years of hardship... but I do apologize" Mihawk said, bowing his head gently.

Alucare looked at him silently for a moment. Looking away for a moment and went to grab the blade.

"...How do you sharpen a blade-" Alucare asked, In his own way accepting Mihawk apology and extending a form of communication. Mihawk gave a hint of a smile on his lips as he stepped forward.

"I can show you-"

@beencaughts had to do it this way again!!! ugh!!

❝ i want you to feel safe with me. ❞ { v ;; the princess and the moon.

Just a few days ago, Prince had made the error of laughing at something Luna said. He’d laughed so hard he nearly cried and now it seemed like all she wanted to hear was him laughing, because he didn’t do it often. “Luna, stop!” He was smirking as she teased him but he wasn’t laughing yet. They were like kids the way they were running around the store, messing with one another. Matt and Nick were somewhere in the shop but they could be on the moon for all Prince cared, he was alone with Luna. Him believing they were alone was evident when he gently backed her up against a shelf, his smile still evident as he kissed her, her back crinkling the packets of crisps behind her. He heard shuffling and pulled away, as an older lady walked down the aisle with her cart. She shot them both an unimpressed look but the couple couldn’t bring themselves to care, both rolling their eyes and making a face at each other mimicking the lady. Prince stepped away anyway. He asked Luna what else Matt told them to pick up and they returned to their groceries mission. They went to the alcohol aisle and stood with their arms crossed in front of the beer trying to pick some out. Everyone in the group liked different stuff and Prince wasn’t about to carry multiple boxes of beer to the till. He bent down to pick one up and when he was going to stand up again he backed into some guy he didn’t hear or see coming. “Watch where you’re going.” The guy snapped. “Fucking teenagers.” Prince barely looked at him, eyeing Luna instead as if to say ‘is this guy for real?’ Luna commented that the guy kind of looked like Prince but he didn’t get a look at him so he just shrugged. He glanced at the man continuing down the aisle but could only see the back of his head. They had the same hair colour but Prince’s hair was basically all shaved off while this guy was probably two weeks away from being able to tie it into a ponytail. He looked at the beer in the guys basket and crinkled his nose. He hated that brand. “What a prick.” Prince commented, urging Luna to choose between the vodka brands next. The group all met up at the till, Nick complaining about the alcohol Luna and Prince chose. Matt paid for everything, naturally, and they made their way to Princes car. Luna pointed out the rude guy from the alcohol aisle and Prince wasn’t even going to look until he saw the expression on Matt’s face. Matt looked like he was staring at a ghost. Princes eyebrows furrowed together and he turned around. His blood ran cold. The brand of beer the guy got Prince hated for a reason. That reason being it was what his father used to drink (and smell like). And there clear as day, like an older version of himself, stood Prince Jameson’s father. Prince felt like he was living in an alternate universe because it wasn’t very long ago he had his mother sleeping in his sisters room and now he was seeing his dad. What was he even doing here? There were maybe ten Tescos closer to where he lived. Prince looked at Matt a little helplessly. He didn’t know what to do. The smart thing would be to get in the car and go but Prince was glued to the spot, his feet just weren’t working. “You little fucker.” Princes eyes widened, still looking at Matt when that all-too-familiar voice spoke, sending a chill down Princes spine. Nick and Luna were understandably confused but all they had to do was look at the man to know he was Princes father. Every single feature on that man’s face was the exact same as Princes just with age set in. His hair even fell the same way Princes did when it was longer. The only thing his mother gave him was life and abandonment issues; Prince was the spitting image of his father. “If it isn’t the little Princess.” His dad spoke and Prince was still frozen to the spot. His dad took a step towards him and Prince finally snapped out of his trance. “Don’t fucking come near me.” He was seething with anger. He felt Lunas hand on his arm, his dad mockingly pouted and teased that ‘little princess’ found his voice. Prince glared at him and the man was lucky Luna had a hand on him because it was keeping him calm and preventing him from beating the living daylights out of this man. His dad laughed, amused by the fact that he scared his own kid this much. What a stand-up guy. Prince looked at Nick. “Get him the fuck away from me or one of you is going to have to call the fucking cops if he takes one more step towards me.” He didn’t want Matt to do it, he’s already been burned by Kadin and he certainly wasn’t going to let Luna go near him. He’s seen Nick kill a guy before and if he did it again, this time Prince wouldn’t complain.  Prince let’s Luna lead him into the house. He’s shaking, angry and also a little frightened. It’s so humiliating. He’s spent the better half of his teen years wondering what he’d do if he saw either of his parents and neither of the exchanges went anyway like he predicted. He’s a little fuming at himself for being so scared instead of actually pummelling the man like he deserves. Luna is great though. She held his hand in the car the whole way home once Nick took the keys to drive instead of Prince. She takes him to his room and when they lie down together she wraps her arms around him, keeping him as calm as he can possibly be. Prince kisses the top of her head. He doesn’t know what to say and when she asks how he’s doing he just shakes his head. “Why was he even fucking there? There’s a million other shops in the city he could go to, why our local? Fucking hell.” Prince thinks he can never go back to that store. He looks at Luna now, knowing that wasn’t an answer to her question. “I’m fine.” He says but it’s short, clipped with irritation. He tells her he doesn’t need to be looked after, and he is fine. “I want you to feel safe with me, Prince.” He knew she wasn’t going to leave him alone just because he lies and insists he’s fine. He nods and kisses her on the lips this time. His hand goes to cup her face, turning them both so she’s now on her back and he has an arm holding him up, the other hand still under her chin as he kisses her deeply, and passionately. “You’ve no fucking idea how you make me feel. Safe doesn’t begin to cover it.” It’s moments like this that makes Luna call Prince a liar when he tells her he doesn’t love her or he doesn’t want her because he makes it so desperately obvious that he does. He pulls away and now uses both arms to support himself above her. “Fuck me.” He exhales, being with her is definitely helping his stress. “You really have no idea what you do to me.” He kisses her again. The annoying thing is that Prince feels a little bubble of irritation at how easily she calms him down. Nobodies ever been able to do that, so how come she can? Well, he knows how. Now would be a good time for him to let out the rarely used L-word but he doesn’t. But he does kiss her again.

{ v ;; phases.

“Katie!” Adele, Jakes little sister beams when she opens the door, wrapping her arms around Katie to hug her. Katie feels a little sad that she’s so excited to see her because this is probably the last time. Katie returns the hug regardless and then she spots Jake coming down the stairs. Adele leaves them alone. Katie’s phone buzzes in her hand and Jake smirks, but doesn’t look happy. “So your phone does work.” He grumbles. Katie frowns and he already knows the expression on her face means she’s here with bad news. And she is. She wants to have an honest conversation with him and asks if they can talk privately. He shakes his head and laughs. “Maybe. Depends on your answer to my question.” She furrows her eyebrows, confused. “Did you fuck Leo while you were in Spain?” Katie’s mouth drops open. She can’t lie but she doesn’t want to argue about this in his hallway. She doesn’t know what family members are home and nearby to hear this. “Jake, can we just talk?” He shakes his head and tells her to leave. “Oh, Katie.” Jake shook his head, chuckling. “There’s nothing to talk about. We both knew you were going to do that. If you couldn’t be bothered enough to be honest enough to break up with me beforehand then we don’t need to have a conversation after. You’re a selfish person and the only one you want to make feel better with your excuses is you.” Jake reaches around her to open the front door. Katie is a little shocked that this is how this is going to go down but once the door is open, he’s walking away from her. She doesn’t follow him. Katie goes straight to Leo’s house. It’s kind of refreshing that he’s happy to see her and it makes her feel bad for being upset about her conversation (or lack of) with Jake. She lets him pull her into a hug. Katie follows Leo to his room but doesn’t sit next to him on the bed, instead taking a spot at the edge of the end of the bed. She plays with a loose thread in his duvet. She isn’t really sure why she’s upset. The conversation with Jake would have been difficult and he saved them both from that. She thinks maybe it’s guilt that she feels. Leo nudges her with his foot to pull her out of her trance and ask what’s wrong. She sighs and tells him what happened with Jake. “-but, like, it’s not true. I didn’t know I was going to do that. I didn’t even know you still felt that way.” She eyes him cautiously. “If you even do.” She adds in a rush which probably offends him because she knows their run-in in Spain wasn’t just sex. “And I was going to break up with him weeks ago so, like, Spain isn’t even why. I mean you were there, you know we just acted on how we felt. I wasn’t being a mean person, it’s just-“ she sighs again, maybe Ava is the person she should have gone to first so she could figure out how to articulate her feelings. “It wasn’t just, like, a one night stand for me. I have missed you and I just wanted to be with you. I wasn’t trying to be a mean person.” She feels a bit awkward about Leo being the person she’s justifying sleeping with him to. But on the other hand Leo was the only other person there, and the only other person who understands just how drawn they were to one another especially in that moment. “I didn’t date him to spite you- I just feel like every time I do anything I end up hurting people.” She looks him in the eyes. “I don’t want to be a bad person.” Katie’s not talking about Jake anymore. “I really care about you, and I know we have to talk about what it means for us. I just don’t want to hurt anyone again, especially you. I know I shouldn’t be scared but I just don’t want to fuck any of this up again. I am scared.” Jake called her selfish, and Leo has done that too. She knows Leo can see how scared she is to act in a way that puts her in that line of fire again. Leo nods for Katie to join him. He probably expected her to slide him beside him in the first place. She abandons her place at the end of the bed and joins him up at the top, allowing him to wrap a comforting arm around her. Her head rests on his chest and the sound of his heart beating is like a lullaby and the smell of his cologne is intoxicating. How can she possibly resist him anymore? “Katie, I just want you to feel safe with me.” Now she knows she was right to come straight here. She knows Leo doesn’t care about Jakes feelings but she can feel he cares about hers. She hopes he respects that she’s trying to show she cares about his too. His finger absently plays with a strand of her blonde hair. She’s starting to hate that colour on her. His action comforts her though. She relaxes into his embrace. They can work this out, right? Katie suddenly starts to feel weird and his cologne is no longer intoxicating in a comforting way as she feels a burst of nausea. “I do feel safe with you, Leo.” Is the last thing she says before she’s running to his bathroom to be sick. Now where the hell did that come from? She must have caught a bug abroad, she figures. She can’t find it in her to care about being sick when Leo is at the door checking on her. They’re totally going to finally work this out this time, she decides.

❝ i’m not staring, i’m admiring. ❞ { v ;; the princess and the moon.

The only time Prince ever actually does his homework at home is when he and Luna use it as an excuse to hang out together. “I just don’t understand any of it.” He’ll text her about an assignment that he definitely does understand so that she’ll invite him over so she can help. They’ll spend maybe ten minutes max on homework before finding themselves in bed together. Otherwise, Prince does his homework exclusively at school, during lunch or a free class. He’s sat at the lunch table, scribbling through the maths problems. He’s good at maths, has a knack for it so it doesn’t take long or it wouldn’t if the teacher didn’t give them so much of it. As he reads through question six, he feels the same eyes on him that’s he’s been feeling since question one. He glances at Luna. It annoys him when he thinks she looks beyond sexy sipping her drink. She’s staring at him, though and it makes him shift in his seat. He raises an eyebrow at her but gets back to his work. The pair don’t often spend time alone together at school but Nick has been helping Cassie study for the summer exams and Matt is probably chasing some girl. Aubrey and Valerie were here but Prince doesn’t even know when they left. It’s just him and Luna. Her eyes are still on him and he sighs and drops his pen, looking at her again. “You’re staring at me.” He points out. “I’m not staring. I’m admiring.” She corrects him and he scoffs. He thinks, why would someone who looks like her not just look in a mirror if they wanted to admire something? “It’s annoying.” He remarks, trying to get back to his homework. He looks at her again and she’s still staring and this time he smirks but he forces himself to wipe it away. It’s too late because she saw it. Prince tries to read the next question but when he looks at Luna this time the smirk on her face matches the one he just tried to hide. He shakes his head, amused despite the scowl on his face. “Stop staring at me.” And to his surprise, she does. The next thing he knows she’s picking up her stuff, like she’s going to leave. He’s confused now but she still has a smirk on her face when she goes to walk away. Prince really should finish this homework before class later but he can’t help it when he turns to watch her leave. She turns her head as she walks, like she knew he wasn’t going to watch. The same look is still on her face and Prince sighs and puts his homework in his bag. He’s almost going at a sprint to catch up to her in the hallway outside the canteen. He grabs her hand and pulls her into an empty classroom. “Are you doing this on purpose?” He asks, pointedly. She knows what she does, and what she’s doing. He knows she does. “You’re fucking infuriating.” He comments but his words don’t match his actions when he pulls her in to kiss her.

{ v ;; phases.

“Your dad is a fucking cunt.” Rings through Katie’s head at least fifty times a day. She can’t believe Leo said that to her. Followed by ‘I bet he didn’t tell you he cheated on your mother.’ It was the way he said. “I bet he didn’t tell you.” Like he was just waiting to use this ammunition against Katie. Katie was so horrified and disgusted by his behaviour, and Eli’s too. Leo has since apologised but Katie hasn’t brought herself to forgive him. Even regardless of anything she has done, even if she had gone full whack and shagged his dad (which his behaviour at that time made her feel like that was actually the crime she committed) she still wouldn’t have it in her to forgive him for what he said. There wasn’t one thing she could think of that she’s done that’s bad enough to make him think she owed forgiveness. Even if he felt like she deserved to know about her mother, calling her father a cunt before spitting it out wasn’t exactly helpful. Katie’s been struggling with her friend group lately. Ava is the only one who didn’t go out of her way to get Katie’s feelings hurt but it’s hard to just hang out with her when the group is always doing something as a group and she can’t be around everyone else. She really just can’t. And then she also can’t be around her father. She wonders if Leo even cares about all that damage. Does Eli care? She doubts it. They’re all in PE class together but it’s a sunny day and the teacher is letting them just use the class to hang outside. She gets strung into being stuck with Leo and Eli when she chooses Ava to sit with. She glared at Leo when she feels his eyes on her for the millionth time. She rolls her eyes, gets up and walks away. Leo, annoyingly, follows her. She turns suddenly, stopping them both in their tracks. “That wasn’t an invitation to follow me. And can you please stop staring at me?” She snaps. “I’m not staring. I’m admiring.” She can’t tell what tone of voice he’s trying to associate with those words but she doesn’t care. “It’s fucking annoying, and it’s weird. So, stop. I wish you’d just leave me alone.” She knows her words are harsh, Leo already apologised and explained how he felt when he said what he did. She knows he’s not trying to piss her off but she can’t help how she feels around him. It doesn’t help that when he’s there, Eli is there too. It’s like she doesn’t trust that they’re not just going to say something awful again. Leo goes to explain, or respond or maybe even apologise but Katie doesn’t let him. “I mean it, Leo. Leave me alone.” She walks away from him again, going up to the teacher to say she has a headache so she can go inside, just to get away from everyone. She isn’t sure how her and Leo are going to make up after all the fighting they’ve been doing lately but right now she isn’t even interested in making up.

[MORNING] - Sender wakes receiver with a kiss. { v ;; the princess and the moon. AU

Prince nodded at Ryan as he set the pint down on the table. The airport around them was bustling with travellers. Prince always wanted to leave London - he hated the place. He always thought when Pandora graduated and moved on to better things he could leave, maybe just travel the world. Luna coming into his life stopped his fantasies of running away. Though he did at some point fantasise about both of them travelling together. Hell, if she decided to go back to Spain there was a point he thought he’d go too. But now Prince was alone. Ryan was travelling with him but Prince didn’t really consider him a friend; that was his boss plus he’d be returning to London after showing Prince the ropes in Monaco. Prince was going to be alone there. That didn’t scare him. He always felt like he was somewhat alone, especially lately. There was a time there when he was madly in love with Luna, Matt had his back and Pandora was doing so well in school and generally enjoying her life just like he wanted. During that time he didn’t feel alone. Now, he wasn’t talking to Matt or Luna and Pandora didn’t feel very much like talking to him. He always predicted that comfortable feeling was going to go away and now it had. Ryan had probably been talking for twenty straight minutes with nothing but nods and grunts from Prince. “So, are you excited? Prince, the money you’re going to make!” Ryan whistled which Prince understood meant it was a lot of money. Yet, Prince could only think about one thing. Ryan pointed between the empty pints. “Another one?” Prince blinked at him, coming out of his trance. He didn’t want another pint. He only wanted one thing. Luckily for Prince, Ryan was the most bizarre person to run a drug trade; he was happy-go-lucky and cheerful. He loved hearing about Princes love life and, like everyone else around Prince, was delighted to actually see him in a happy relationship. When he first suggested Monaco to Prince he told him he could bring Luna. Prince had turned it down because Luna was going to college and he wasn’t going to get in her way. So when Prince declined the pint, and mentioned he had to go see about a girl, instead of being pissed off at Prince for abandoning their big money-making plans, he beamed and clapped his hands together. “Oh my god, go get her!” Prince glanced at Nicks car parked in the drive of Lunas place. Cassie hadn’t lived here in almost two years so what was Nick doing here? He pushed open the front door gently and heard what sounded like arguing. “Luna, it’s true - he’s gone.” Prince could only assume it was him they were talking about, and it sounded like Luna didn’t really believe Nick. Why would Prince leave without saying goodbye? Even if he did break up with her, she expected a goodbye. He knew that when he left and didn’t say anything but in his mind it would make it easier for her to forget about him. He didn’t want her to forget about him, he realised that now. He followed their voices into the living room. “I’m not- I didn’t.” Prince was flustering his words. He was trying to say he wasn’t gone, he hadn’t left without saying bye even though he was just about to. He acknowledged the confused look on Nicks face. Princes presence probably made it seem like Nick was lying for no reason. The carry-on bag in Princes hand confirmed some of the story was true. He had been leaving. He shot Nick a look, he didn’t need to be here anymore. He had asked Nick not to say anything so he noted not to ask him for any favours again. Nick took the signal and made his exit. Prince looked at Luna now. She looked even more confused than Nick. “I was leaving. I went to the airport. I was going to leave.” He was aware this news was going to piss her off. Hopefully him not following through with his plan gave him some brownie points. “I couldn’t fucking do it. I thought if I leave and I don’t say anything you’d be so pissed off that you wouldn’t want anything to do with me anymore and you could finally move on from the shit show I’ve made of your life the last five years.” It wasn’t all a shit show, they both knew that. In fact, before he found out about his best friend being a backstabber, their relationship was as close to perfect as a relationship between this very pair could be. Prince sighed and found himself pacing back and forth. It felt like he was seventeen again and struggling with his feelings for Luna again. It used to drive him crazy when he felt all this love for her but he didn’t want to. That’s how he felt now. Why couldn’t he just leave? He just wanted to walk away and forget. But Prince couldn’t do that. “I’m not here to say goodbye. I’m here to say that I love you and I shouldn’t have broken up with you. I don’t give a fuck that you lied about Matt, I never gave a fuck. It was just an excuse to end this because I was scared.” It was so unlike Prince to admit his feelings like that. It was that unusual for him that he didn’t even know it was how he felt at first because he didn’t even admit it to himself. “I thought Matt was my brother. If my brother, the only person who ever wanted to be around me, wasn’t around anymore then why would you be? What’s stopping you from changing your mind?” Prince knew it was his choice to not be around Matt anymore but technically speaking it was Matt’s because Matt had to know that would be the consequence of his actions. “If I stand here and say my sister deserves so much more then who’s to say you don’t? I’m a lot more fucked up than him, and I’ve been a right prick and if all I ever talk about his what a prick he is, surely you’d realise I’m so much worse and you’d finally go and I couldn’t see you go, so I tried to.” Prince had probably never spoken so many words in his whole life but it was like word vomit it just kept coming out, stuff he was terrified of saying but he was only now realising she was the one who he had to not care about what he said terrifying stuff to. He was so in love with her but more than that he trusted her with his life. He could trust her with his fears and his stupid admissions. Prince crossed the room to her. “I was right, too. You do deserve better but then today I thought fuck it, I can be better. I’m such a fucking idiot for thinking the alternative was to leave you alone. I don’t want to be angry anymore, I just want to be with you. I bought a fucking ring for fucksake. If I can do that then I’ve already changed. Right?” He was a little nervous in asking that because what if she thought he hadn’t changed? That he was still just an asshole and she was done with him. If that was the case, Prince still had the choice to leave and forget about this embarrassing little speech. “I fucked up so much but this time will be the last time you’ll ever have to forgive me for anything, if you still want me.”   Prince felt a presence around him as he slept. He wasn’t dreaming but he wasn’t fully awake. In his sleepy mindset, he felt happy. He felt like kissing. He could feel his lips puckering but then his consciousness made him aware that he wasn’t just kissing thin air. There was a person kissing him. He blinked his eyes open and found Luna pressing sweet kisses to his lips and along his jaw and a smile spread across his lips, waking him up in the best way. He was still half asleep but his hand went to the back of her head to pull her in for a real kiss, his eyes going back to closed. The more they kissed and their hands found their way around each others bodies, the more he woke up. He pulled Luna on top of him, his hands firm on her hips. She whispered “good morning” to him and he chuckled lowly. “It certainly is.” He opened his eyes now, blinking in the morning light. It was a new day but in another sense it was a new day. Prince was delighted he didn’t get on the plane. He knew now the best decision he ever made was to come back and choose her above everything else. He’d meant everything he said the day before and with them being so close now he wasn’t even embarrassed about any of it anymore. How come he could never flip the switch like this before? He felt like he could just open up and tell her each and every one of his feelings and still not be embarrassed like he once would. He wasn’t sure what was different. He was no longer the little boy afraid of hurting her and getting hurt. He was now the man that was going to propose to Luna Moon. And why wouldn’t he? Their little world was changing now and it was only yesterday, thinking about getting on that plane without her, did he realise that was all he ever wanted.

{ v ;; phases.

Katie is still dead to the world when all of a sudden she feels something warm on her neck and then on her lips. Someone’s kissing her. It’s like the kiss of life because she feels herself waking up but she doesn’t open her eyes, instead squeezing them as she returns the kiss to whoevers lips are on hers. She giggles slightly, eyes still closed. This could be Eli or Ava for all she knows considering she hasn’t greeted the person yet. She knows that hand on her neck, though and she knows that kiss. It’s like coming home, kissing him again after so long. She beams as she pulls away and opens her eyes, catching the Greek God known as Leo laying in her bed. “Well, that’s one way to wake a girl up.” She giggles again. They’re being very naughty, since Katie still hasn’t broken up with her boyfriend but what would be the point in them being shy? They already cheated yesterday and neither of them need to waste this holiday feeling guilty about anything. When she gets home she’ll break up with Jake but she can’t do anything about it while they’re still abroad celebrating the twins birthday. Leo kisses her again and she still feels giddy about it so she barely returns it as another giggle slips from her lips, turning her head away from him because their lips and teeth are colliding awkwardly with her childish laughs. It feels like his smile is just him laughing at her reaction to him. She hides her blushing cheeks. “Sorry.” She shakes her head. “You’re making me blush. It’s so embarrassing.” She’s speaking in a whisper and when he pulls her hands away she feels even more embarrassed because of the way he’s looking at her. He kisses her again but it’s  quick peck this time. She pokes his cheek with her finger. “You’re pretty.” She whispers. The elephant in the room isn’t even that she has a boyfriend, it’s what this means for them. They both know it. She told him she didn’t love him like that, and she swore left and right that she just wanted to be friends. Her actions now aren’t matching that. Jake once accused her in a fight that one day she would stop being mad at Leo and go right back to loving him. Now she was just a hypocrite for getting upset at that accusation. “Keep kissing me.” She pleads with a giant smile on her face. They can address that elephant when they’re back in the U.K.
