Yandere Batfam x Camp half-blood (Neglected reader)

DC x Pjo

Part 6

This had like a huge timeskip

___________________________

It's been 3 months Since you decided to stay at camp

It's been so good, the camp is quiet, since it's school year right now, it's currently October, the weather outside doesn't really affect the camp but it's chilly, the good kind

Percy and Annabeth have been sending you photographs of their schools, since you can't go to school anymore

Because you're "dead"

Still even if you're not studying, no way you're gonna let them get ahead of you, so you spent an entire day carving an Athena statue

You got a bunch of food from the Cornucopia as offerings

Then you pray "Lady Athena, may you please guide me, I need books on grade 6 studies.... Please?"

For good measure you decided to place a drachma on the statue

"I- I want to study... And uhhh, I've never really prayed to a god before- I mean what kind of god would - okay going off topic, I want to learn because I don't want to feel helpless anymore, I've been there, never again, so if- you could help me... I'd appreciate it, but you don't have to if you don't want- sooo... Yeah I guess, do I say amen? Um bye"

"didn't think a child of Aphrodite would ever be interested in learning"

"AH!" You yelp as a voice appears behind you

" 'Thena can you not sneak up on children, that's fucking creepy"

You tilt your head "Mr. D???"

"kid next time you want to study just bother Chiron, there's legal procedures to this kinds of things" he groaned

You were about to apologize but then Athena spoke up for you "Nonsense, if she wants an education is it not reasonable to get it from the best?"

She turns to you "kid, what do you want to know about?"

With great determination you say "I want to know everything I can manage to learn"

"really?" She smirked

"Yes. Whatever you can teach me, how to use an abacus, what body part do you stab someone to kill them in an instant, how to crochet, whatever you can teach"

"yeah while you two are at it can you teach her how to undo my punishment" Mr D opens another new diet coke

______________________________

"Gods- Wait crap" you collapse on the floor

4 fucking hours now, she's been training you for four hours, Mr D had finished 55 diet cokes watching and laughing at you

Out of every fight, she wins, of course she does, out of every train, sparring, archery and everything she made you try

"new rule, all you have to do is make sure this cloth touches me, whether it be a momentary graze or wrap it around me, it just needs to make contact, and I will try to push you out of bounds" she says pulling out a blue cloth and a bunch of rocks and twigs form a square

You didn't think it'd be easy, at all, she'd dodge and dodge and dodge

You lunge at her and change direction to where she's going, but she flies instead

The sun is going down, and Athena flies down and kicks you near the bounds

"AHHH! ow! Shit!" Your form looks disfigured, your arm is under your body and it doesn't look good

You cry, tears coming out as you try to not scream "I fell the wrong way, I-" you sob on the ground

"Shit, Thena what did you do?!?" Mr D stands up

"I'm sorry- I didn't, help please...." You scream in pain

Athena teleports to you and kneels, she turns to Mr D "I'll call on Apollo to heal her arm and-" she stops talking

She stops talking as she feels a silky texture on her cheeck

With wide eyes she looks at you, and your smug smile, that stupid smile

"I finally won against you" you stand up and dust yourself off

You can't beat the goddess of wisdom, but- you can trick her

"huh..." She says

Mr D spikes his diet coke on the ground "(name) go fuck yourself"

I'm about to take a test rn, it's mathematics 😀

Anyways enjoy the chapter:3

So High School

Summary: Benny and your first kiss (high school sweethearts)

Reader is kind of a micromanager

Benny totally likes her she's just too anxious to notice

Not a really big warning but reader has some mild anxiety and self deprecating thoughts.

Lmk if it's okay! I've been sitting on this idea for a while and this is my first time writing! It was originally in a different pov and tense, so sorry in advance for any continuity mistakes! If someone has already posted something with the same trope/title I am soooo sorry I promise there was no plagiarism involved 😭

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Benny, pay attention.”

He had been tapping his pencil on the desk for half an hour, notebook blank. “Hm?” He raises his eyebrows. You slide your notebook over to him and whisper, “Write.” He sighs and starts copying notes on chemistry.

Benny was your life long best friend, no matter how much your parents disapproved. You two were always going to be in it together. He's told you countless times over the years that you should stop hanging around him, ditch him for your other friends. What Benny didn't know was that you needed him. Needed his soft laughs and attentive eyes, his hard exterior that hid a sweet heart. He didn't know you loved him and never would, because you don't think he loves you the same way.

You're best friends, sure, but Benny’s into tougher girls, ones that are more eager to get in trouble. The smokers, drinkers, occasional drug users. You're simply not his type. And even if you were, you didn't think he would want to mess up your friendship. You'd never told all this to anyone.

The teacher’s voice snapped you out of your thoughts, reminding the class about the test the next day. The end of senior year was getting closer and closer, grades becoming more important now than ever. You look over at Benny, who had conveniently not copied down a single thing. You sighed in time with the bell marking the end of the day.

“Fuckin’ finally,” he laments. You shake your head and pack up your things. Benny always walks you to your car at the end of the day, insisting that he see you go before he gets on his own motorcycle.

Once you got to the parking lot, you ask him, “Hey, are you gonna be okay for the test?”

He furrows his brow. “What test?”

You give him a look. Seriously?

He starts laughing. “Yeah, I’ll be fine.”

You laugh at him before saying, “Are you sure? I'm pretty sure you've been zoned out in that class since January.”

You had reached your car. He smirks. “Well, if you're so worried about it, why don't I come over and we can study for a while?”

Your stomach twists. “You don't have anything better to do?” You ask, teasing him.

He leans in a little, thumb brushing over the back of your hand. “No.”

You suck in a breath. Damn him. “Okay, then. My parents are leaving for a thing at 8, so come by around 8:15.”

He just nods , a slight smile on his lips. You quickly kiss his cheek. “Bye, Benny.”

“See you later.”

You get in your car and drive off, head racing with thoughts of him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

8:15 came by quickly. You had the whole unit divided into sections of notecards, each one containing the most important topics of the lesson.

Your parents were at some work dinner, giving you the perfect opportunity to have Benny over. They didn't exactly like him.

The doorbell rang, and you make your way down the stairs and open the door for Benny. “Hey,” you smile.

“Hi.”

You usher him into the foyer and up the stairs. “We've got a lot to cover if you're going to be caught up for this, so you better pay attention. I have 5 sections of notecards and if you're really not getting it I've got the textbook. Okay?”

“Alright,” he says, sitting down at your desk chair.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An hour and a half. It had been an hour and a half and he was messing up this whole thing. At first he was doing decently well, but the he started to get bored. He would mess with things on your desk and purposefully give the wrong answers.

“Benny, are you even listening to me right now?”

He contemplates it for a minute. “Not really,” he shrugs.

You sigh. “Well if there's nothing I can do to make you focus, then I guess we're done.”

He stops tossing whatever trinket he has from your desk. “I have a better idea.”

“And what is that?” You say, rolling your eyes.

He smirks. “Why don't we play a little game?”

“A game?”

“Yeah, a game. Every time I get one right, you owe me a kiss.”

Your heart stops for a second. What?

“Um….a-a what?” You sputter.

A sly smile grows on his face. “You heard me.”

You steel yourself. “Fine.” This should be easy since he hasn't been paying attention. He won't get a single one of these right.

“What is a molecule with a charge called?”

“An ion.”

Your jaw drops a little. “Well, did I get it right?”

“Um…yeah. Let's-let's just keep going.”

“Fine by me,” he smirks.

As Benny answered question after question correctly, something became clear to you.

He knows. He knows and he's trying to embarrass you. He just wanted to play this ‘game’ to see how desperate you were. He’s probably going to tell all his friends at school tomorrow about how ridiculous you are for falling in love with someone who so clearly doesn't want you.

Your face heats up and you snap the textbook shut. “I think that's enough for the night.” You stand up from your bed.

Benny’s stupid smirk was still stuck on his face. He slowly rises and meets you in the middle of your room. His face seems so close to yours. “Can I cash in on my prize now?”

You look down and take a deep breath to try and calm yourself. Before he can do anything, you give him a friendly kiss on the cheek like you had done so many times. Like you had done earlier that day. “There.”

You can feel your heart breaking a little. You just wish he wanted this for real. “Oh, no, sweetheart. That's not what I want.”

Everything seemed to stop for a minute as your gaze snaps to his. “What?”

His pretty blue eyes slowly travel down to your lips and then back up. It felt like someone had knocked all the air out of your lungs. His face seems impossibly close to yours. “I was thinkin’ maybe…maybe you could give me more of a real kiss,” he whispered.

There's no way. You look up at him for reassurance. His eyes looked so vulnerable. Benny slowly nodded, and before you knew it his lips were on your own. His hands held your waist, and you let your own hold his face, feeling his beard scruff and the soft hair around his ears. It was amazing.

He tucks your hair behind your ear as you pull apart, then rests his forehead on your own. You could feel his breath.

You open your eyes to something you never thought you'd see; Benny looking down at you with nothing but love. “Oh my God, you weren't kidding.”

He keeps one hand on your waist as the other threads through your hair. “Why would I be kidding?” His brow furrows, and you laugh.

“Just…nevermind.”

“Okay,” he chuckles before leaning in again. Right as your lips were about to connect, you hear the front door open. Shit.

You gently push him off of you. “You've gotta go.”

He looks like he's about to protest before hearing your parents' voices.

“We're home!”

He rushes towards the window, quickly opening it and climbing out onto the garden trellis below. You follow him, leaning over the windowsill.

“See you tomorrow?” You say.

“Yeah,” he smiles . “Kiss goodnight?” You roll your eyes before meeting him in the middle, joining your lips. You could hear feet on the stairs. You pull away first, seeing Benny with this crazy grin on his face. “You owe me about 10 more of those,” he says before jumping onto the grass.

You quickly close the window and jump onto your bed as your mother opens the bedroom door.

“What have you been up to?”

You smile to yourself. “Oh, nothing. Just studying for a test tomorrow.”

Nothing indeed.

“Well you should get some sleep, dear.” Your mother turns out the light. “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight,” you echo.

Winning more than a competition

Shuntaro Chishiya x Fem!Reader

REQUESTED? Yes • [No]

WORD COUNT: 914

SUMMARY| A test is coming up and the competition between you two raises a deeper connection then you realized, until you act on it.

Adm Note: Academic Rivals to Lovers with Chishiya has my heart melting.

You were unsure when your rivalry with Chishiya formed, the years blurred together like wet paint mixing to form a different color until the separate colors completely disappeared. You just remembered waking up one day and competing with him for top place in your class during third grade, maybe the competition had always been there and you had only noticed then, but the rivalry carried on throughout Highschool and now into college.

Your rivalry with Chishiya was so known throughout the campus that people paid more attention to it then they did on their studies, especially now that you two have tied in your amount of wins against each other. Too many for you both to keep up with, or at least for you to keep up with, the number didn't bother you much. What bothered you was the stupid smirk on his face whenever he managed to beat you.

Which brings you to where you are now, tucked away into the corner of the colleges library, your nose buried in the pages of a book trying to ingrain the information into your brain. "If you keep staring at the book like that, it may catch on fire." Ah, there he was. The bane of your existence, but you wouldn't lie about the fact that he was attractive; anyone with eyes could see that but those weren't words you would speak out loud.

"Did you make your presence known for the soul purpose of annoying me?" You knew the answer before he even spoke, of course he did. It seemed to be his favorite hobby, annoying you until you wanted to throw him off the roof of the college.

He always had this smug look of accomplishment after he knew he had ticked you off, a smirk would curl at his lips and his eyes held a certain glimmer in them "what's your point of studying, I'm gonna get higher marks, you know that right?" He was taunting you, every word out of his mouth boiled the blood in your veins but you wouldn't let him see that.

"Even if you do get higher marks, some of us actually came to learn, you arrogant asshole." You picked your bag up off the ground and stood, he was still taller than you but only slightly, something he loved to hold over your head.

He shrugged, sliding his hands into grey sweatpants pockets "I'm just saying." You turned on your heel, feeling your uniform skirt swish; thank god for shorts under your skirt.

Soon enough you stopped walking, looking over your shoulder to see him now sitting at the table you just left. "I'm gonna get higher marks than you." You said, making him raise his eyebrow in question; for the briefest moment you felt small under his gaze.

"Oh yeah? How?" and without warning you were back at his side, his chin resting between your thumb and your pointer finger, as your lips crashed against his. Shock flooded through his body causing him to freeze but you noticed the way his kissed back and melted under your touch.

As quick as it began you pulled away, a smirk now on your lips as you moved to walk away, chishiya moved backwards almost falling out of the chair from how far he leaned back "Wait, What? No!" He called after you, but you just shot him a wink.

"Bye, see you tomorrow!" and you were gone.

—

Sitting at your desk mindlessly listening to your friend ramble on about the blind date she wanted to set you up on claiming that you needed to be romantically involved with someone, to which you rolled your eyes. You didn't understand the rush of finding a boyfriend before you reach a certain age but you weren't going to argue with her over something as stupid as a date.

The teacher came back in from his office, having you all wait almost an hour, many didn't even care about their own grades; they wanted to see who won this test.

Getting handed your paper, sitting up at the top was a 100%, you got a perfect score. Glancing back at chishiya you could vaguely see the out line of his grade through he paper. A 99%. You didn't feel a sense of smugness or achievement at winning, you felt neutral about the whole situation; but you longed to make the small frown on his face disappear.

After the teacher dismissed your class, you stood up from your chair; almost wincing from the scratching noise the chairs made against the floors. You walked over to Chishiya and he asked a simple question "Are you here to rub it in?" He must have seen your mark from over your shoulder seeing as he sits behind you to your right.

"No, I'm here to ask you to go to the cafe with me. Not as two people in an academic rivalry, but as a classmate I wouldn't mind getting to know more." You don't know where it came from, the sudden confidence to ask him that, you always had the urge to get to know him, but you never verbalized your desire to get to know him.

If you blinked you would have missed the quick upward quirk of his lips upon hearing your words, but he nodded at your request none the less.

In the end you won more than a silly competition, you got the best boyfriend you could have asked for.

Y'ALL I CAN'T 😭😭😭

So today I walked into his classroom at the end of the day cuz I was gonna do work as usual, and before I even walked in, when I was in the doorway, he looked up from his computer and went "Hey!" and smiled SO WIDE I thought his face was gonna explode. He was blushing like crazy too like he was a tomato 😭 so then I said "Hiii!" (Usually I'm the one who says hi first and he's usually looking at his computer when I come in)

Right after that he said "Thank you for that note on Friday. It was wonderful. I didn't know I made such an impact. It's great to know that I've had such an impact. And you are a very memorable student. And it's not just me, the other staff have made comments too. You have made an impact. Yeah, it's really good to hear for me." (It sounded so well thought out and rehearsed, like he thought about it all weekend)

(HE SAID IT IN SUCH A GENUINE, CHILL, REAL VOICE LIKE OML 😭)

HE MADE EYE CONTACT THE ENTIRE TIME HE WAS TALKING TOO, AND I FELT IT WHEN HE SAID I MAKE AN IMPACT AND THAT I'M MEMORABLE , HE WAS SAYING I MAKE AN IMPACT ON HIM AND I'M MEMORABLE TO HIM 😭😭😭 AND I FELT THE LOVE/ADMIRATION/SOFTNESS IN HIS EYES LIKE OML, IT WAS SO GENUINE AND KIND I STG I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM LIKE THAT, HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ON THE VERGE OF TEARS LOWKEY, he probably cried when he read it at home and felt emotional thinking about it.

Well then my awkward ahh self says "Well, that's good to know." while smiling like a dork LMAO. I felt myself get red too lol, I had no idea what to say without proposing or just screaming "I love you" LMAO

So then his face got less red afterwards and I mentioned my psych test, and how I studied this morning for it despite it being the same day, but I feel like I did well, he asked me about animation too and if I finished my project. I went on working a bit on English and then randomly my parents were at my school to pick me up, completely without warning, so I had to go so I wouldn't be suspicious to my parents. So I let him know as he was getting things ready to close up the room that my parents were randomly there to pick me up, and that I had to go. And he went "Oh okay, surprise!" and then I got my stuff and got ready to leave when I don't even remember what talked about but we chatted a sec as I got to the door, and then he said "Well, have a great night!" I said "Thank you! You too! Bye bye!" and then I left.

I tried so hard not to freak out as I left cuz WTF HE WAS SO ADORABLE AND GENUINE AND LIKE LOVING 😭❤️

Am I reading too far into this, or is he totally in love with me? (JK... Unless)

[sourle]

This is not from a request or anything! It's just an appreciation from me:D

I wanna say thank you for 66 followers! This account actually grew quick but sadly my xss couldn't update that much:(

But as a thank you for all of you, I'm gonna write a special 66 followers!

Lmk au idea!

Highschool au

Ohohohoho I'm gonna LOVE this so much! I think MK would be a junior alongside Mei. As they both are the youngest in the original lmk.

Both Pigsy, Tang, and Sandy would be a senior. I like to think they're the nerd group, as Tang being the smartest yet dumbest, Pigsy being the short feral gremlin, while Sandy is the group mom.

Now Wukong would definitely be the popular type. Being he's a legend and all(just think of this highschool accept any kind of people or demon k?:]).

Macaque would be the quite kid, yet popular because of how he looks. Let's be real here, he's the fakest of them all.

Nezha would be that one kid who's smart yet strict and probably a teachers pet-

Red son is the quite kid who's focus on his work only. He despised long conversation and can't stand being near people so being the red head he is. He's the kid who's always alone.

The Spider Queen and her minions (*cough* family *cough*) would be a bully. I ain't takin' my words back, i can imagine them definitely putting a kid on the ceiling in the hallways or next to the classroom wall for shet and giggles.

LBD is that one pretty girl who's manipulative in any kind of way. While mayor is that one simp nerd who would definitely carry a red carpet for LBD if he can.

Now comes you. A (not so) innocent baby being moved into their highschool in any reason:)

You being a newbie and doesn't know around the school of course will given the opportunity to explore but with someone guiding you, wether it's a teacher or student no one cares.

On high chances it's probably Mei or MK since both are i don't know. Teachers favorite for being the class clown.

It doesn't matter which one you got both will definitely be there to guide and show you around.

And here comes the fun part!

You, Mei, and MK ended up making a trio group! Bringing the school into chaos with you tree pranks.

Then come along Red son after some unexpected events of making all his school notes burned to ashes.

Which you tree have to fix. But it all end with red joining you guys group. How? Ask Mei and MK-

You don't interact alot with Macaque knowing he hates conversation so you left him alone. That is until your bumb into each other, you apolagizing and saying bye to each other before going on your part was the only interaction so far.

Now with Wukong it's hard to tell, he's the first to approach you with his flirty remarks and such. If you're oblivious then congrats, he's gonna laugh at you before being dragged away by MK.

You and Nezha didn't interact alot, being him always avoiding people and rather be himself or just close friends.

But you both do talk with each other, it's usually about homework and stuff that needed to be completed or just you asking for his help for an upcoming test.

Now with the comfort group aka Pigsy, Tang, and Sandy you actually interact with them frequently being Mei and MK is (somehow) also part of their group.

Pigsy is those type of friends who would get overprotective, Tang is definitely your study buddies when it comes to history or just mathematics really.

While Sandy is your comfort friend, being he's the gentle one out of all! So you trusted him easily.

As for now i only got this au ideas. Send me your thoughts on this au since i wanna know if it's interesting enough!

Rime: IS THAT WHERE ALL MY SPARE SHOELACES WENT?

MC: Bye Felix! Bye Sage! Bye Anisa! Bye Rime! Bye Felix!

Sage: You said "bye Felix' twice.

MC: Those are all attributes of a loose cannon.

Felix: No, I'm just a reckless renegade. Rime is a loose cannon.

Rime: *smashes a chair*

MC: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the items you have lost throughout your life

Felix: Self-esteem, haven't seen you in years!

Sage: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this!

Anisa: I knew I lost that potential somewhere!

Rime: My moral code, is that you?

MC:

MC: I was just gonna show you this cool trunk my mother left me but do you guys need a hug?

MC: Time for plan G.

Felix: Don't you mean plan B?

MC: No, we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties.

Sage: What about plan D?

MC: Plan D was that desperate disguise attempt half an hour ago.

Anisa: What about plan E?

MC: I'm hoping not to use it. Rime dies in plan E.

Tulsi: I like plan E.

*The squad is over at MC's house*

Felix: Ohhhh, we each get our own oven?

MC:.. N-No.

MC, laughing: How many ovens do you think I have???

Felix, motioning to their kitchen: Three, I thought!

Sage: I see a-

MC, motioning to one device: This is a microwave.

Felix: Oh. well I-

MC: Hey wait wait, actually- hang on- *fiddles with the buttons on the microwave*

MC, amazed: Its got a bake setting!

Anisa: Ohoho, you learn something new every day!

Rime: Do we- Do we roshambo for who gets to pick first?

MC: Now I've just discovered I have more ovens than I thought, we don't have to roshambo nothin!

MC: I am someone who owns four ovens..

MC, louder and way too happy: I am someone…. who owns FOUR OVENS.

MC: I didn't know I was so rich with ovens..

Tulsi, pointing to another appliance: Also the toaster oven!

MC:

Felix: Ohhh, toasty boy! Four- Five ovens!

MC:

MC, fucking ECSTATIC: I AM SOMEONE WHO OWNS FIVE OVENS

(If you got that reference, you’re a legend)

MC: Well, aren't you all a rag-tag group of adventurers with unclear goals and good hearts! Oh, let me guess: you're out to save the world!

Felix: Well, actually, that sounds like a pretty fair assessment.

Sage: More or less, I guess..

Anisa: That sounds awesome! Let's do that!

Rime: I'm new here, but I am open to the concept.

Tulsi: I thought that's what we were doing, guys, come on!

*Everyone is standing around the broken coffee maker*

MC: So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know

Everyone:

Felix: ...I did. I broke it.

MC: No. No you didn't. Sage?

Sage: Don't look at me. Look at Anisa.

Anisa: What?! I didn't break it.

Sage: Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?

Anisa: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.

Sage: Suspicious.

Anisa: No, it's not!

Rime: If it matters, probably not, but Tulsi was the last one to use it.

Tulsi: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!

Rime: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Tulsi: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Rime!

Felix: Okay let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, MC

MC: No! Who broke it!?

Everyone:

Rime: MC... Sage's been awfully quiet.

Sage: rEALLY?!

*Everyone starts arguing*

MC, being interviewed: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it.

MC: I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.

MC:

MC: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

*Squad reactions to being told 'I love you**

MC: Thanks fam!

Felix: oh no

Sage: *cries* I love you too

Anisa: Sounds fake but okay

Rime: *A flustered mess*

Tulsi: can i get a refund

MC: Dumbest scar stories, go!

Felix: I burned my tongue once drinking tea.

Sage: I dropped a hair dryer on my leg once and burned it.

Anisa: I have a piece of graphite in my leg for accidentally stabbing myself with a pencil in the first grade

Rime: I was taking a cup of noodles out of the microwave and spilled it on my hand and I got a really bad burn.

Tulsi:

Tulsi: I have emotional scars.

MC: Felix…… How do I begin to explain Rime?

Sage: Rime is flawless.

Anisa: I hear their hair's insured for $10,000

Felix: I hear they do car commercials… in Japan.

Tulsi: One time they punched me in the face... it was awesome.

MC: *Posts a super low-quality image to the group chat*

Felix: If I had a dollar for every pixel in this image, I'd have 15 cents

MC: If I had a dollar for every ounce of rage I felt in my body after I read this text, I would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you

Sage: Actually I did the math, Felix would have $225, not $0.15.

Felix: Fam I'm right here..

Anisa: If I had a dollar I would buy a can of soda :)

MC: while you're there could you buy me an apply juice please?

Anisa: Sorry I only have a dollar

MC: :(

Sage: Hey I just realized my friend is right, Felix would have $22,500 because it's a dollar for every pixel, not a cent

Anisa: If I had $22,500 I would buy a can of soda and an apply juice

Sage: You can buy anything you want with $22,500

Rime: Yeah and they want soda and apply juice

Sage: Apply juice to what

Tulsi: Directly to the forehead

Felix: Great chat everyone

MC: Rules are made to be broken.

Felix: They were made to be followed. Nothing is made to be broken.

Sage: Uh, piñatas.

Anisa: Glow sticks.

Rime: Karate boards.

Tulsi: Spaghetti when you have a small pot.

MC: Rules.

Felix:

MC: Everytime I hear someone talking about updog, I'm torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help them complete their joke.

Felix: Okay, but what is updog?

Sage: Updog is a long sausage in a bun, often served with ketchup, mustard, onions, and/or relish,

Anisa: Not, that's a hot dog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released.

Rime: No, that's an update. You're thinking of the fourth largest city in Sweden.

Tulsi: Surely, that's Uppsala, where's updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter.

MC: That's Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs.

Anisa: You're thinking of epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current.

Sage: No, that's an updraft. An updog is the modern version of a henway.

Felix: What's a henway??

MC: Oh, about five pounds.

MC: We need to distract these guys

Felix: Leave it to me

Felix: Centaurs have six limbs and are therefore insects. Discuss.

Sage, Anisa, and Rime: *Immediately begin arguing*

Tulsi, watching in horror: Oh this. I don't like this. I don't like this at all.

MC, walking into their house: Hello, people who do not live here.

Felix: Hey.

Sage: Hi.

Anisa: Hello.

Rime: Hey!

MC: I gave you the key to my place for emergencies only!

Tulsi: We were out of Doritos.

MC: Hewwo.

Felix: Hihiiiiii!

Tulsi: Greetings, Humans

Rime: Three kinds of people

Anisa: I want pudding.

MC: Four kinds of people.

Sage: WHAT'S UP FUCKERS?

Rime: Five kinds of people.

MC: If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it's venomous.

Felix: What if it bites me and it dies!?

Sage: Then you're poisonous. Jesus Christ, Felix, learn to listen.

Anisa: What if it bites itself and I die?

Rime: That's voodoo.

Tulsi: What if it bites me and someone else dies?

Felix: That's correlation, not causation.

Anisa: What if we bite each other, and neither of us die?

Rime: That's kinky.

MC: Oh my God.

MC: Just be yourself.

Felix: 'Be myself'? MC, I have one day to win Sage over. How long did it take before you guys started liking me?

Anisa: Couple weeks.

Rime: Six months.

Tulsi: Jury's still out.

Felix: See, MC?

Felix: 'Be myself'. What kind of garbage advice is that?

Sage: Why are MC and Felix sitting with their backs to each other?

Anisa: They had a fight.

Sage: Then why are they holding hands?

Anisa: They get sad when they fight.

MC: You lying, cheating, piece of shit!

Felix: Oh yeah? You're the idiot who thinks you can get away with everything you do. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD

MC: I'm leaving you, and I'M TAKING SAGE WITH ME

Anisa, picking up the monopoly board: I think we're gonna stop playing now.

MC: You know those things will kill you, right?

Felix, pouring another glass of whiskey: That's the point.

Sage, smoking a cigarette: We're trying to speed up the process.

Anisa: *Nods while eating raw cookie dough*

Saaros: If I die, my funeral is going to be the biggest party ever and you're all invited

Anisa: If?

MC: Great, the only party I've ever been invited to and they might not even die.

Saaros: Dandelions symbolize everything I want to be in life

Anisa: Fluffy and dead with a gust of wind?

Saaros: Unapologetic. Hard to kill. Feral, filled with sunlight, bright, beautiful in a way that the conventional and controlling hate but cannot ever fully destroy. Stubborn. Happy. Bastardous. Friends with bees. Highly disapproving of lawns. Full of wishes that will be carried far after I die.

MC: edible

Saaros: Do you ever want to talk about your emotions, Anisa?

Anisa: ... No.

MC: I do!

Saaros: I know, MC.

MC: I'm sad!

Saaros: I know, MC.

Saaros: I'm kind of crushing on someone, but I'm worried about telling you who it is, because you're not going to like it

Anisa: Just rip the bandage off.

Saaros: It's MC

Anisa: Put the bandage back on.

Saaros, in a high voice, holding barbie: hey ken! I was thinking about going back to school and starting a career!

Anisa, in a deep voice, holding ken: nonsense, barbie. you're staying home and having my kids

MC: what the fuck are you guys doing?

Saaros: playing systemic oppression.

Saaros: So, what, now I'm just supposed to do anything that Anisa does? I mean, what if they jumped off a cliff?

MC: If Anisa were to jump off a cliff, they would've done their due diligence regarding the height of the cliff, the depth of the water, and the angle of entry, so yes. If you see Anisa jump off a cliff, by all means, jump off a cliff.

Saaros: You jump off a cliff!

MC: Gladly. Provided Anisa did first.

Saaros: In your opinion, what's the height of stupidity?

Anisa: *turning to MC* How tall are you?

*Saaros and Anisa sitting in jail together*

Anisa: So who should we call?

Saaros: I'd call MC, but I feel safer in jail.

Saaros: In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Anisa: Wasn't MC with you?

MC: In my defense, I was also left unsupervised.

Saaros: Naturally, we are on the cutting edge of technology.

Anisa, amazed: Wow.

MC, to Anisa: Well what does that mean?

Anisa: I don't know.

Anisa, to Saaros: What does that mean?

Saaros: There are seven chairs and ten kids. What do you do?

Anisa: Have everyone stand.

MC: Bring three more chairs!

Sage: The most important ones can sit down.

Felix: Kill three.

Saaros: We need more help. Maybe I should call my friends

Anisa: ... Your what?

Saaros: My friends.

MC: Are they saying "friends"?

Sage: I think they're being sarcastic.

Felix: No, no, no, this is delirium, they've cracked from being awake all night. Hey, Saaros! All of your friends are in this room.

Saaros: I have other friends! You asked me to make new friends, I made new friends! It was a task. I complete

tasks.

Saaros: You kidnapped Anisa? That's illegal!

MC: But Saaros, what's more illegal? Briefly inconveniencing Anisa, or destroying our dreams?

Saaros: Kidnapping Anisa, MC!!!

Sage: Saaros, listen, whatever I may think of you right now- these guys are counting on you to inspire them!

Saaros: What, to kidnap people?!?!

Sage: To work toqether!

Saaros: TO KIDNAP PEOPLE?!?!?!?!

Felix: Saaros, we all agreed a celebrity is a not a people.

Tulsi: Look. I may not be a saint, but it's not like I've killed anybody. I'm not an arsonist. I've never found a wallet outside of an IHOP and thought about returning it but saw the owner lived out of state so just took the cash and dropped the wallet back on the ground.

Sage: Okay, that's really specific, and that makes me think that you definitely did do that.

Tulsi: Hey Sage can I get a sip of your water?

Sage: It's not water.

Tulsi: Vodka, I like your style!

Sage: It's vinegar.

Tulsi: Wh-Wha-

Sage: It's vinegar, COWARD.

Tulsi: I slept for almost 12 hours but I might still be tired so lets go for 12 more just incase.

Sage: Tulsi, that's a coma.

Tulsi: Sounds festive.

Tulsi: You kill people for money?!

Sage: I can explain!

Tulsi: And all this time I've been doing it for free like a chump!

Tulsi: Do you think you'd actually notice if someone didn't cast a shadow? Or if their limbs were just slightly too long? Or if they had just a little too many teeth? like how many times have you passed Something on the street and you just didn't Notice It?

Sage: Stay woke monsterfuckers ur love is out there!!!!!

Tulsi: Yknow what? Not my point at all in any way whatsoever, but I'm glad I could be an inspiration.

Tulsi: Treat spiders the way you want to be treated.

Sage: Killed without hesitation.

Tulsi: No.

Tulsi: That's one of my biggest fears. Like, if I ever woke up as a donut.

Sage: You would eat yourself?

Tulsi: I wouldn't even question it.

Felix, tending to Rime's wounds: How would you rate your pain?

Rime: Zero stars. Would NOT recommend.

Felix: Hey, it's your turn to wash dishes

Rime: I'LL WASH THE WALLS RED WITH YOUR BLOOD

Felix: 'Kay, but before that, wash the dishes, also use soap this time?

Felix: This is a mistake

Rime, enthusiastically: A mistake we're going to laugh about one day!

Felix: But not today

Rime, still enthusiastic: Oh, no. Today's going to be a mess.

Felix: Is something burning?

Rime: Just my love for you.

Felix: Rime, the toaster is on fire.

Felix: Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm doing. Everything is going to be fine!

Rime: How can you still say that?

Felix: Because sometimes, when things get tough, denial is all we have.

Felix: What the fuck is wrong with you?!

Rime: Wow, you could start with a 'good morning'.

Felix: Good morning. What the fuck is wrong with you?!

Felix: Must be hard not being able to laugh

Rime: I do have a sense of humor you know

Felix: I've never heard you laugh before

Rime: I've never heard you say anything funny

Felix: So that's my plan.

Rime: Are you alright with constructive criticism? I don't want to sound mean.

Felix: No, go ahead, I want to hear it.

Rime: It fucking sucks.

Felix: That's not constructive criticism.

Felix: Is letting someone win at chess sapiosexual bottoming

Rime: Does anyone in this godforsaken group ever think before they speak

Rime: Okay. I get it. You've had a really hard time lately, you're stressed out, seven people died-

Felix: Twelve, actually.

Rime: Not the point. Look, they're dead now and really whose fault is that?

Felix: Yours!

Rime: That's right: no one's.

Felix: You saved me. I owe you my life.

Rime: No thanks. I've seen it and I'm not very impressed.

Felix, struggling to keep upright in their 1 inch heels: Yeah, I-I don't really think heels are for me

Rime, pointing at them and walking flawlessly in sparkly golden 6 inch heels: WEAK.

Felix: God, give me patience.

Rime: I think you mean 'give me strength'.

Felix: If God gave me strength, you'd be dead.

Felix: Rime, stop! This isn't you, you've gone mad with power!

Rime: Well of course I have.

Rime: Have you ever tried going mad without power?

Rime: It's boring.

─coffee study୨୧

pairing: co-worker!jungwon x fem!reader

genre: fluff

words: 3.1k

warning: bad grammar D:

summary: a simple study session with your sweet co-worker that you might like a bit too much....

author's note: this was supposed to be out for Won's birthday, then for valentines day but it took me wayyy long than expected so here it finally is!! i hope you guys will like <3

while reading ♫

─

You sigh, no customers in sight.

Your co-worker, and friend Sunoo suddenly laughs at your reaction. "I know I'm not as entertaining as Jungwon but at least act as if you cared girl!" You quickly lift up your head and look at the boy.

"Ah… Sunoo, you know that's not it!"

He scoffs at you, visibly not convinced.

"I'm really gonna get upset someday… You give Jungwon heart eyes everytime he's in your vision, y/n do not try to make me believe otherwise"

Your cheeks start to redden slightly… Was it that obvious ?

Sunoo starts to giggle. "Come on you'll be fine y/n~"

You kept chatting with Sunoo, waiting customers, cleaning the coffee shop, and even making yourself a latte for your break.

─

It was now pouring rain outside. You were sure not to get anymore clients, well until a bell rung, signaling you that someone just entered the place.

"Ah…sorry guys, I just missed my bus and there's way too much rain for me to stay outside." Says a visibly breathless boy.

"Oh my gosh, Won what happened to you?! Did you need a shower…"

Jungwon shoves Sunoo in the shoulder before heading to the employee's changing room to dry himself up as much as he could.

"Ooh, girlie take the chance and enter that room, I'm sure you'd see him differently after that…" He says wiggling his eyebrows while you just roll your eyes.

After some time, the boy finally gets out of the room, a towel on his shoulders and hair still wet. You feel your breath suddenly stopping when Jungwon catches you staring at him, but he just flashes you a bright smile before asking Sunoo to make him a coffee.

"Just make it yourself bro, you work here too!" Sunoo whines.

"But I'm not working right now though!" He laughs. "What're you paid to do if you don't even make coffee?"

"Fine, fine I'll make you a coffee, a black one just like your heart" Sunoo says in a very dramatic way, typical.

"Ew, that's the most disgusting one! Come on Sunoo, you should take care of me you know, what if I get sick! I'm not gonna be able to cover for you!"

Sunoo loudly gasps and almost smacks the cup on the counter.

You just watch the two bicker, amused by the scene.

"Oh by the way y/n, you know we have a chem test on Tuesday right?"

"Ah please Won, I don't even want to think about it! You know I suck in chem…" You whine.

The boy giggles before asking you if you'd like to perhaps study with him…

"Are you sure Won?" You say, a blush creeping onto your cheeks.

"Well yeah obviously I am, I wouldn't ask if I wasn't, dummy!"

Sunoo watches you both as if he was watching a cliché K-Drama.

But you don't answer, Jungwon simply smiles.

"Well, I'll take that as a yes then! See you tomorrow y/n! Bye Sunoo~" He says waving at you both. He puts his bag on his shoulder before taking an umbrella. Jungwon smiles at you both one last time before leaving.

You turn towards Sunoo before he bursts out laughing.

"What's so funny Sun?"

"Thank God Jungwon was bold on that one cause you weren't even gonna answer this poor boy!"

You scoff at your friend before taking the cup, Jungwon previously drank in to clean it.

"Ooh, wifey material!"

"Oh my goodness Kim Sunoo! I will strangle you!" You say.

Sunoo laughs before tickling you. "You love me too much for that!" He says before flicking your forehead.

"Ouch Sunoo you─"

"Anyways! It's time to close and I'm not paid to do extra time so hurry up and let's go!"

You simply nod with a smile and get ready to close up the coffee.

The rain outside is incredibly heavy, so Sunoo proposes to give you a ride home, because apparently 'he will not be able to survive without you".

"So what are you gonna do about Jungwon?" Your friend says.

"What? There's nothing happening why would I do anything?"

Sunoo sighs visibly exasperated by your behavior, "See! That's exactly why he doesn't make a move on you, you're so oblivious sometimes…"

You sink in the passenger sit and just watch outside the window, not replying to him.

"Y/n don't get upset now, you know I'm right! Please, it's so obvious that you guys like each other!"

"Sunoo, we'll do it however we want, I know it's probably frustrating for you but I'm never, seriously ne-ver making a move on Jungwon, I will not risk any of the awkward moment that this could cause…Thank you though, you know I love you"

He sighs, again. "Alright you got me, I'll keep an eye on your situationship though!" He winks at you before turning back to focus on the road.

─

"There we are, goodnight y/n!" He smiles at you before giving you a side hug…"Yeah goodnight Sun!"

You then run home before getting completely wet and you wave one last time to Sunoo before he drives away.

After eating and taking a shower, you get ready for bed, get under your covers before going on TikTok to scroll for a bit.

You were about to turn off your lights but your phone suddenly vibrates, you hesitate before checking the notification but you still end up doing so, surprisingly enough it's the Yang Jungwon. You don't open the message but you do read the notification.

─Hey! Well I know it's late and you're probably sleeping but I wanted to know if you….

Your curiosity gets the best of you and you finally open the boy's message.

─Hey! Well I know it's late and you're probably sleeping but I wanted to know if you actually agreed to study with me? :) I don't want you to feel like you have to go because we work together or anything.

─Oh no, Won don't worry I am okay with it!!

─Sorry, did I wake you up y/n?? I should've asked you at work my bad…

─No worries Jungwon, I wasn't sleeping yet!

─Uh, would Sunday be okay, you know since we both don't work… I was thinking that I could pick you up around 1 pm ?

─Yeah, of course!!

─Alright, well goodnight then! Don't sleep to late ;)

─Thank you Won! Sleep tight :D

You then turn off you phone, looking at your room's ceiling, full of thoughts. You sigh before getting up again, closing your blinds and turning your lights off.

—

You wake up slowly, this morning feels very calm maybe announcing a great day ?

Or not, you turn on your phone before realizing it's 10:20 am! Along with around 20 missed calls from your dear co-worker Jungwon.

"Shit!" You quickly get out of bed, freshen up a bit before putting on makeup as fast as you can. You take the first clothes in your dresser. You take your bag and run to get to work quickly enough.

You open the door maybe a little too fast as you almost fall but thankfully someone catches you just in time! Luckily for you it's your co-worker, Yang Jungwon…

"Wow! Chill out here, I don't want you hurting yourself!" He says giggling.

He helps you straighten up and guides you to the changing room.

"You know I told you not to sleep too late…." He says softly.

"I didn't! I just forgot to turn on my alarm…" You say sighing.

Jungwon simply scoffs before handing you your apron. He then gently places a coffee in front of you, smiling as you enjoy the drink.

"Thank you, Won!"

He grins at you before leaving your side to clean some of the tables.

—

It's already dark outside, time really flies fast in winter. How the bright sun just makes a short appearance before getting replaced by the glowy moon, the night is cold which makes you glad to be in the warmth of your workplace. You softly sigh while drying the dishes, an action that peaks your co-worker's attention.

"You okay there?" He gently says, leaning against the door frame behind you.

"Oh yeah, I'm just a bit tired." You say turning around to face the boy.

"Sit down then, I'll finish this up for you Y/n."

He pushes you aside before taking your spot at the sink.

He really is a nice boy, of course you had to fall for your sweet, gentle and more than handsome co-worker. You end up getting lost in your thoughts for a little while which obviously worries Jungwon. He calls out your name once but no answer, he tilts his head slightly before giggling softly, this is enough to snap you out of this trance. You look at Jungwon like a deer caught in the headlights which makes him laugh.

"Alright I think we've cleaned up everything" He says while taking his apron off, you give him yours and your hands slightly touch which makes you blush, he doesn't say anything but he looks up at you and smiles softly.

He hands you your bag before taking his own. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yup!" Jungwon guides you to the door and opens it for you… What a gentleman. He leads you to his car but you stop.

"Well, see you tomorrow Won!" You say, but your co-worker looks a bit upset…

"What did you mean? I'm driving you home Y/n." He says, his voice a bit stern.

"Huh? No Jungwon, I'll just walk." You say smiling.

"Oh yeah I'm obviously going to let you go home alone in the dark, and it's freezing too. Y/n this is not debatable." Your friend says walking towards you. You just sigh as an answer, he's definitely a bit upset but he still opens the door for you before sitting in the driver's seat.

The ride home is quiet, making the tension between the two of you very awkward. You look at the sky through the window, the moon's soft glow being the principal lighting in this dark night. Jungwon sighs before turning towards you at a red light.

"Sorry I didn't mean to be rude to you Y/n, I just don't want you walking around alone at night like that, Sunoo drives you home too so what's the issue? Did I do something wrong?" He says a slight hint of worry in his tone.

"No! You didn't do anything Won, don't worry."

He sighs again but this time in relief. The rest of the drive is filled with small talks, while soft music plays on the radio. You're a bit disappointed when you arrive home but you'll see Jungwon tomorrow for your little study session, so he just waves before saying "See you tomorrow Y/n, don't be late this time". He smiles and you could swear he winked at you, well he tried to.

─

Today's the day… You woke up early enough to have a while to get ready, but late enough to be fully rested. For some reason, you took a long time choosing your outfit, trying your best to look the best way possible, even calling Sunoo to help you. On the other side of the phone Sunoo was going crazy, he really was trying to help you but every time he'd say something you'd do the opposite…

"Y/n! Why'd you even call me if you're not gonna listen to me!?' He says, visibly upset.

"Hah, sorry Sun… I'm just a bit nervous."

Your friend rolls his eyes before playfully saying that he found your nervousness actually cute. You stayed on the phone with him until 12:30 pm, he reassured you saying he thinks you looked amazing and that you shouldn't worry.

You heard knocks on your door a bit earlier than they should've, of course it was Jungwon. You ran to your door that swung open, scaring the poor boy.

"Hi y/n! Are you ready? Sorry I'm a bit early, but I didn't want to risk being late and I didn't want you to think I was a creep parked in your driveway…"

He blurs out quickly.

"Don't worry, it's fine!"

You take your backpack before closing and locking your front door. Jungwon guides you to his car before opening the passenger's door for you. You softly smile at him before seating, you try to put your bag on your lap but your friend takes it from you and carefully places it in the back seat. He sits next to you and starts the car before giving you his phone. You look at him confused but he just smiles softly, showing you his dimples and tells you to play whatever music you want. Your hands touch when you take his phone, making you blush a little, you look at Jungwon realizing he still hasn't let go of your hand but he just looks away trying to hide his reddened ears.

The rest of the ride goes on pretty smoothly, filled with small talks. The atmosphere isn't awkward, it's rather peaceful.

You didn't actually know where you were going, but you trusted Jungwon too much to think he'd actually bring you to a weird place. Rightfully so, the weather being too cold to stay outside, your friend decided to study in a small cat café. The place is very charming and warm, perfect during a cold winter.

Jungwon gets out of the car, taking your backpack out before running to your side, not giving you the time to get out by yourself. He hands you your bag before leading you to the small place. He tells you to sit down while he orders some drinks for the both of you, he comes back as quick as possible and places your drink and a piece of cake in front of you.

"Careful, it's hot!"

"What did you order?" You ask while taking your chemistry books out.

"Uh just your usual order at the coffee shop and a piece of cake I thought you might like…" He says, suddenly a bit hesitant.

He quickly changes the subject, because you are here to study after all. You work for around 2 hours, taking occasional breaks to pet the cats, one of them has been extra clingy to you, always nudging to get your attention which made Jungwon giggle. You were studying, trying to focus on your exercise while Jungwon was when Sunoo sended you a message…

─How did it go???;)

─It's going well, I understood most of the notions!!

─Y/n.. I love you but I really don't care about your studies. How's the date going???

─It's not a date, but it's amazing!! We're at a cat café :p

─Oooh now that's cute, well I'll leave you with your bf! You better call me when you get home, I want to know everything!!

─Yeah, bye Sun!!

"Who are you texting?" Jungwon says, a little pout on his face.

"Oh it's just Sunoo!" You say softly.

Jungwon nods before helping you finish your exercise.

"Alright, I think we've done enough…We should go now.

Jungwon stood up and took the empty cups and plates to give them to the person at the counter before coming back and helping you put your books in your backpack, he hands you your jacket before putting his own on and he leads you to the door, opening it for you.

"Wait! Won, we need to pay!" He giggles before saying he paid a while ago.

Jungwon opens his car to put your bag, but he locks his car before taking your hand on his.

"What're you doing?" You say confused.

"There's something I wanted to show you…"

You look at him, the sunlight hits his face perfectly highlighting his charming traits. Jungwon looks at you quickly, a small smile on his face when he realizes you're staring at him.

After making a stop at the nearest convenience store to buy cat food, Jungwon guides you down a small street. Oh well, maybe he actually is a kidnapper, but you're with Yang Jungwon, your friend and you feel safe with him. The street isn't very bright although the sun is still up, in other circumstances the situation would've been weird, a boy bringing a girl in an empty street where no one would be able to find you…

But you feel Jungwon crouching down before opening the food, he turns a little box around and you see a cat with a bunch of kittens, the cat sniffs him before sniffing the food. She slowly licks it before pushing it towards her babies. Jungwon looks at them with such a soft expression on his face. This is probably the sweetest interaction you've seen in a while.

Jungwon pets the cat before turning around to look at you. He smiles before taking your hand, he guides it slowly near the cat, she sniffs your hand before looking at you, she walks towards you before nudging you a little. You look at Jungwon, he nods, smiling at you.

You both wait until the cats finish eating, the boy turns the box around again, explaining that it'll shield them from the wind.

While you guys were waiting, Jungwon explained that he found those cats a while ago, since then he tries to feed them every morning and night. He also mentioned the fact that he was trying to find a family for them but he'd had to separate the kittens from their mom… He asked the cat café and they said that they'd think about it, so he's currently waiting for an answer.

Jungwon drove you back home, the ride was calm with just soft music in the background and some occasional small talk.

There you are, back in front of your house.

"Did you enjoy…all of this?" He says looking at you with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Yeah, of course! It was great, thank you Won!"

He helps you out of the car and you lead him to the front door.

"Huh, I was thinking that we could do this again someday? But like not to study, you know, just to hangout, more like a date…" He says the last almost in a whisper.

"Sure! I'd love that!" You say, smiling brightly.

He looks at you visibly relieved, before hugging you. You hug him back before pulling away and kissing him on the cheek. Jungwon's eyes and cheeks instantly get red but he smiles nonetheless, wishing you a good night. You wave at him and get in your house quickly dialing Sunoo's number to tell him everything, needless to say he was as excited as you.

Maybe this is the start of something?

Bad day? Bad Day.

Pairing: Chrissy Cunningham x gn!reader(3rd Person pov)

Genre: Fluff

Summary: In which Chrissy was having a bad day and cheer practice made it even worse and all she wants to do is cuddle her favorite teddy bear(aka you)

Chrissy huffed as the team has yet again couldn't get the routine right, it also didn't help that she somehow flunked her bio test, Eddie helped her study and everything so she's pretty pissed about that. She also was chosen at random to do a presentation in English and she didn't have time to prepare for it, so she failed that too. Still, she put on a smile and looked at her team.

"It's okay guys, we can't get everything right on the first try, practice makes perfect!" Chrissy exclaimed.

The team looked at her with exhausting smiles but nonetheless agreed as they headed to the locker room to change.

"Alright bye guys, I'll see you guys next week." Chrissy said.

She whispered the last part since all the members were pretty much out of reach now. Suddenly she heard a car honk behind her, she turned around out of fear but relaxed when she was it was just y/n, her lover and not something from another dimension, she still couldn't shake that feeling of well everything that truly goes on in Hawkins.

"Cmon!" You waved at her.

Chrissy fake-smiled which you noticed as she ran to the car and got inside without saying a word.

"Hey," You greeted.

"Hi," Chrissy replied, just above a whisper.

"Okay," You looked over at your girlfriend. "What's wrong?"

"Nothings wrong, just had a bad day." Chrissy answered.

"Bad day?" You questioned.

In your opinion, it was rare for Chrissy to have a bad day. She's the Hawkins High Queen alongside her close friend, Jason. And despite almost dying to a monster from another dimension, she didn't even say that was the worse day of her life! Something was wrong, very wrong and you were going to find out what it was.

"Bad day." She confirmed as she fastened her seat belt.

You pulled out of the driveway and began to drive and turned the radio on, My Girl by The Temptations.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" You asked.

Chrissy sighed as she slumped in her seat.

"I just feel like I'm losing it, maybe I should have just died to that Vecna creep instead." Chrissy mumbled.

"Well, I'm lucky you didn't. How am I supposed to live my life without my favorite girl?" You smiled at her, she didn't return it but just blushed lightly.

"I failed two assignments today and we didn't get the routine right. I just- I don't know, it's weird." Chrissy explained.

You put your hand on her leg as you kept on driving, to offer your support.

"Hey Chris, don't worry. You're gonna be fine. You and the team just gotta work on it and who cares about those assignments anyways!" You exclaimed.

"I care," She mumbled.

"Hm, guess that makes you a nerd. Oh gosh! I can't be seen with you anymore!" You gasped.

As you dramatically put a hand over your heart as you parked the car. Chrissy playfully punched your shoulder.

"Shut up," She giggled.

The two of you got out of the car, she rushed to your side and hugged you.

"Thank you," She muffled.

"Just doing my job as your lover, you wanna cuddl-" You were cut off

"Yes!" She exclaimed.

You chuckled, her joining you as you kissed the top of her head.

"Okay, okay." You chuckled before going on to cuddle with your girlfriend.

A Girl's Guide to End Rape Culture - Chapter 6

In the week after I agreed to join the band, we had been practicing so much, I could hear guitar chords playing in my head at night before I went to sleep.

It hadn't been all practice, though. Something was happening in the streets of Minnesota.

I first heard of the Riot Grrrl movement when I saw a newscaster talking about it on the small TV in my apartment. It started small, like a spark that wasn't extinguished quickly enough and soon caught the wind, spreading like wildfire.

I didn't know much about the movement, other than that it looked like a kind of feminist movement.

When I went to practice next, though, I was surprised that no one was talking about it, given how it had seemed like a popular topic.

Even the drummer, who was also a girl, didn't bring it up.

We went through some songs, practicing them until my throat was sore. At the end of practice, I decided to bring up the Riot Grrrl movement to see what the others thought.

"Hey, have you guys heard what's going on in town?"

Ian was the only one who looked at me. Perks of being the new girl, I supposed. "What's going on?"

"All that's going on with the Riot Grrrl movement."

"I hadn't heard of that."

"I don't know too much about it, just that it seems like a new feminist movement.

I thought I saw one of my band members roll his eyes, but I didn't give it any mind.

"That sounds interesting," Ian said, in a way that sounded like he wasn't sure what he thought of it.

"I thought so. It'll be cool seeing what happens with it."

No one said anything after, but when I started putting my things away again, I noticed the drummer send a small smile my way.

~

Leaving the studio, the streets looked the same as they always did, but there was something different. The air felt charged with a certain energy, something powerful, like change.

I took my phone out of my pocket and checked the time. It wasn't too late, I figured there was probably time to hang out with Lucas and Ani if they weren't busy.

I dialled Ani's number first, and she picked up on the second ring.

"Hey, what's up?" Her voice filled my ear.

"Did you wanna go out for a coffee? I'm gonna call Lucas and see if he can come too."

She groaned. "I'd love to, but I can't. I'm stuck studying for a test. You have fun with Lucas, though." I could practically hear her grinning.

"Okay," I said, though I probably sounded uncertain. Ever since Ani had found out about my feelings for Lucas, I had felt awkward talking about him.

"I should really keep studying, I'll talk to you later though."

"Okay, talk to you soon. Bye."

"Byee!"

I ended the call and dialled Lucas's number. He picked up on the first ring.

"Hey, Em. How's it going?"

"Good, I just finished band practice. I was wondering if you wanted to go get a coffee or something?"

I realized I could hear him doing something in the background.

"If you're busy though, it's no problem."

"No, no. We can hang out for a bit."

"You're sure?"

"100%."

"Okay. I was thinking we try out that new cafe, the one with all the art pieces."

"Yeah, that sounds good. I'll come pick you up shortly."

"Oh, you don't have to. I'm fine with walking."

"Don't be silly, it's no trouble."

"Okay. Well, thank you."

"Of course."

There was a silence on the phone for a minute or so, which I interrupted. "Um, okay. I'll see you soon. Bye."

"Bye, Em."

I ended the call and put my phone back in my pocket, allowing myself a small smile.

Even if I wouldn't let us be together, it was still nice having a crush on someone.

~

The cafe was fairly quiet for a Friday, and once we ordered our drinks, we found a booth in the corner.

"How was practice today?" Lucas asked, taking a sip of his coffee.

"Oh, it was good. It was a bit of a longer practice today, so I was a little tired after. Coffee's helping though."

He smiled. "That's good at least."

"Yeah. How was your day?"

"It was okay, I just had a class this morning and after I was just doing some cleaning around the house."

"Oh, is that what you were doing when I called?"

"Yeah, I'd let the house get a little messy and figured I had a mostly free day so I may as well clean a bit."

"Fair enough." I took a sip of my coffee. "Did you hear about what's going on in town? The Riot Grrrl movement?"

"Yeah, I did actually. I think it's great."

"What's it about? I haven't heard much about it, other than what I saw on TV. It looks like a kind of feminist movement."

"Yeah, it is. From what I heard, it's a movement that's meant to be addressing issues like patriarchy, gender inequality, and sexual assault. There's also been some bands that are using their music to address those issues."

"Wow, it would be cool to be a part of that."

"Maybe you can bring it up with your band."

"I brought up the movement today, they didn't seem too interested. Maybe they just didn't know a lot about it, though."

"Yeah, I would try learning more about it, and then try bringing it up again."

"That sounds like a good idea. I'm curious now, how did you hear about it?"

"Oh, just on the TV. I tried to research a bit more about it, though, and I talked to some people who seemed to have some ideas and thoughts on it."

"Oh, that's cool."

"Yeah, it'll be cool seeing what happens in the future with this. It feels like something that could be important in changing the way society is right now."

"It almost feels like we could be living in a history-changing moment ourselves."

He nodded. "Exactly."

[allison3k0]

I went to see him after school today and it was a small but cute interaction.

Okay so basically I walked in and went "Hiii" and he said "Hey" just casually, nothing too crazy. Then I started to turn on the computer and whatnot, and I said "It's been a long week..." and he said "Oh yeah, it has been, good but long, pretty busy" I said "Yeah, exactly. I'm so glad it's Friday, I wouldn't make it another day this week." and then I opened my school work. Usually at this point we would just go silent for a while since he would usually just be finishing something up and then leaving. But, this time he asked "Working on English?" and I said yeah, and proceeded to explain that we're doing poetry and it's good cuz the work is shorter, and I already have to read a bunch for my independent novel study. I told him "Yeah since my book is like 400 pages long" and he was like "Wow that's long" and I said "Yeah and I'm on page 75..." and started laughing. He said "Oh wow, just a little more to go" in a sarcastic and comedic tone, it was a funny and cute little interaction. And then I told him about my psychology class and he praised me for doing well on the last psych test that I told him the grade of. And then, when he was going to leave, he told me "Well, I'm gonna head out, have a great weekend! I locked the door so just shut it on your way out." and he gave me a smile as I told him bye. Also, he was talking in a more gentle tone which felt more loving and intimate (?) than usual, so that was nice.

Idk, I'm just enjoying his presence these days.

ALSO SOMETHING ELSE THAT HAPPENED TODAY- My Bestie M (Not supportive of my feelings for Mr S) asked me to name 20 reasons why I like him, since every time she asks "Why him? Like why specifically him?" I usually respond with "Idk why him specifically" but after yesterday when I realized that I actually have feelings for him, I named 20 reasons why I like him... And then I just kept going until I hit 30... And I had more I could've said. When I was talking about the things I like about him, I was smiling so wide and got excited when I mentioned his cute little habits and things like that. After I finished my Bestie M said "Wow, I asked for 20 but you just kept going til 30..." and I said "Yeah" and she was like "Wow, so you really do like him. You really like him. You seemed so happy when you were listing reasons why you like him, I've never seen you so happy, you seemed like, genuinely happy." and I started laughing, and said "Am I not usually genuinely happy???" as if I'm not happy when I'm around her 😭 but it was so funny at the same time. I think my Bestie M is finally starting to accept that I like him and just let me be, because when I went to see him after school and she went to leave, she simply said "Have fun." instead of her usual "You better not do anything stupid" or "I'm staying with you" (when she doesn't have work). But this time she just let me go, so, things are looking up all around.

[shinra-makonoid]

Too much stuff happening these days had me completely stop my medschool studies and I kinda hate it. One game was enough to completely put me out of it.

I know DA4 might not come before 2025, that means I'll have to be extra hard with myself to not just... Forsake my future studies for a mere dozen of hours of fun. It makes me worried, like I can't imagine how I'm gonna deal with it while I'm on my first year of medschool. Which is stupid, I'm not a highschooler.

I hope DA4 releases during summer 2024 so that I can brainlessly go through it and come back with determination for 2024 September, but seems unlikely sadly. FFXIV next expansion is planned for summer 2024 so that will be at least behind me (RIP savage raids I guess but honestly it's too much of a hassle to go through again imho, and I get bored of them too easily).

Why are so many good games happening these days and in the future? Makes me rethink my whole future, because when I play I'm like "oh yeah I could go on like this forever".

I know that, when it stops, I just want to hurt myself out of somekind of deep existential boredoom. Like I cannot stress out how much this state of nothingness hurts me and makes me want to scream out. It's either bliss with games that makes me forget about how meaningless everything is, or extreme existential pain. Well there are a couple of other problems going on that don't help but even if they weren't there I'd be suffering.

Anyway since I stopped, my motivation engine is gonna be hard to start up again, I'm like 3 weeks late on my planning. It's technically not such a big deal (because I planned a relatively soft study thing and also decided to drop biostatistics because the book I'm getting the lessons from is just extremely bad at explaining it and it just makes me anxious. There's a free study of epidemiology that I'm gonna take and that's probably going to be more understandable), but I'll have to work a little bit harder during my vacation, which is in two weeks and a half (and during it, my birthday).

Didn't even continue the anatomical boards I was checking, but it's also not really a big deal because it was mainly to test how to learn shit by heart, and it works pretty well so. The main goal was to find the good tools to learn by heart and I'm satisfied.

I still love the subjects so much, but it's like games are fast food meanwhile studying is like exercising. Idk how to explain it, but it's probably some kind of fast easy brain reward versus hard difficult brain reward.

I also need to think about next year's planning for studying, but I'll plan it to last until June, so that I can take July and August as being completely free to move out, do all the paper shit and also play games before saying good bye for a year. Year in which my number one priority will be the number one person in the class.

[paul-j-matthews]

*Paul mouthed a quick thanks at him, leaning his head into the phone so he could hear everything properly.*

☏ Paul? You didn't answer my texts.

*Richie's voice crackled over the speaker, very clearly concerned.*

No, I know. I'm sorry. Just busy doing these reports right now.

☏ Is reports code for Ted?

Excuse me?

☏ Nevermind, just, uhm, did Ted tell Pete to invite me over or something? I was just thinking I'd stay over for the night, we were gonna study for the Bio test but it'll be late if you wanna pick me up so maybe it's just better to-

Richie. Calm down. Yes, you can stay at Peter's house, I trust you enough that you shouldn't even need to call me for this anymore. Just make sure you're on the bus with him, I don't wanna wake up to the school calling.

☏ Okay, uhm, are we still on for movie night tomorrow..?

Yes, I promise.

*Paul didn't know if he could keep that promise and his voice shook while saying it, it wasn't that he didn't think he would be alive, he just didn't quite know the conditions of the resurrection. He was going to play it like he was trying to keep Richie calm and happy and that he was upset he'd die before getting to see him one last time.*

☏ Yeah, okay, bye dad. Uh, Paul.

*Ouch. That made him want to actually cry.*

Love you, stay safe buddy.

*Paul nodded at Owen, giving him the go ahead to end the call. His throat felt thick, and not from the inflammation caused by the wasabi. He really tried not to let tears prickle at his waterline cause ew, but thinking about those actually being his last words to his nephew hurt.* Uhm, yeah, like I said. Good kid... *For the first time ever while being tortured, Paul's lip actually trembled, clearing his throat awkwardly and glancing anywhere but where Owen was.*

[It had not been too difficult to find out where Paul lives. The fact that he works at the same place as Owen's grandson had certainly made it a lot easier. His windows also hadn't exactly been a challenge for Owen. They are nothing compared to John's high security windows that he likes to break in through for fun.

Inside, Owen had locked the cat in a room where it wouldn't bother him. There is no reason to hurt it - and to be honest, he really doesn't want to hurt it - but he doesn't want it to get in the way either.

He had spent way more time thinking about the cat than necessary, even considered taking it with him to make sure it would get a good home once Paul is dead. But ultimately, he decided that would just cause unnecessary trouble for him. He'll just let it out of the room to feast on the remains of its owner and then hope its new home will be a good one anyway. If he's lucky and the cat hasn't eaten in a while, maybe it will even start to feed on Paul while he's still aware of it.

But however this meeting will end, right now, Owen can't do anything but wait for his victim to come home from work. So he's killing time by standing in Paul's living room and heavily judging the books on his book shelf. He doesn't carry any visible weapons. He just stands there, looking at the bookshelf as if it was his own.]

- @agent-carvour

*Paul slid in through his front door, locking it behind him with a soft hum and a clicking noise. Immediately it felt like something was wrong, at first he thought maybe it was the absence of Richie's shoes and favourite hoodie, no, he was at mascot practice. He glanced around a bit, no Mr. Whiskers. That's what it was. He wasn't jumping around at his feet for cuddles the moment he stepped in.

Oh Gods, he hoped he hadn't accidentally locked him in his bedroom again or something, he'd pissed on the rug last time and it was awful. Paul took his shoes off and placed them on their proper designated spot on the rack, doing the same with his coat. He pressed his hand to his mouth, whistling nice and loud and listening for the jingle of Mr. Whiskers' collar just in case he was sleeping or something. Nothing. Odd.

He sighed as he stepped further into his house, immediately heading for the kitchen to pull out the chicken he'd been marinating for supper. He didn't plan on cooking it right away, just needed it to sit out for a bit while he did some quick cleaning of the place. He grabbed a rag and his favourite rubber gloves, stuffing them in his pocket for when he actually got to scrubbing the place down.

What Paul didn't expect on his way to clean up the living room was a fully grown man, who looked a good bit like Ted, standing and staring at his bookshelf. Mildly shocked, and partially trying to scope out if this man was a threat, he chuckled.*

You an enjoyer of the classics too then?

*He gestured to the William Shakespeare, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Jane Austen sitting on the alphabetical sorted shelves.*
