🍎Shall We Dance? - Day 1🍎

Wally Darling x Reader Story

Tags: Fluff, Romantic, Established Crush, and Friendship!

Summary: Sally recently announced a Dance competition in the neighborhood! Granted, you have no idea how to even Foxtrot, but it couldn't be so bad right? Besides! You have your best friend Wally there as your Dance Partner! Nothing could go wrong...well, that is, until some feelings come to the surface...

(Lovely art by TTobeeb on Twitter)

It was a beautiful Sunny day in the neighborhood! It was peaceful, quiet, relaxed...well, you would say that if it wasn't for Sally Starlet running around happily in the neighborhood, posters in hand as she plastered them onto doors and trees and fences all along the neighborhood.

You and Wally were sitting in the grass simply chatting in the warm sun, spring was coming to a close and summer was beginning to arrive, when you noticed the happily frantic star gushing and dancing about. You couldn't help but glance toward Wally, raising an eyebrow.

"Do you have any Idea what she's up to?"

"No clue neighbor. It could be that she's trying to set up another play?"

"Maybe? God, I don't know if I could star in another one. I completely messed up my lines halfway through and I just wanted to lie down and perish."

Wally couldn't help but laugh, giving you a friendly pat on the shoulder. Wally was your best friend, you have pretty much been through it all! Julie would tease the two of you relentlessly, saying that we'd be the 'picture perfect couple' but we always joked about it and cast it aside. We were just good friends, and I was happy to say that I knew him!

"Oh come on neighbor, you weren't that bad."

"Wally, how does a person mess up Romeo and Juliet?"

Wally was about to answer before the bright and energetic came running up to the two of us.

"NEIGHBOR! WALLY! You're going to join my competition right?" She spoke excitedly, doing a twirl as she held her fliers close, before handing one to each of you. You cocked your head, confused.

"Competition? What happened to plays?" You spoke, reading over the flier. It was very colorful and bright, with red glitter over the title 'Foxtrot Dance Competition.' This was dancing, was it not?

"Yes, this is a form of...ballroom dance? Have you been hanging out with Julie again? I know how much of a romantic she is." Wally spoke, obviously teasing but Sally was oblivious, nodding her head.

"Yes! Julie would talk about how ball dances worked and thought we should incorporate them into our plays sometime. But that would mean we would need some great dancers as the leads in order to sell the play more! So! With that in mind, we came up with the idea of creating this competition, not only to see others' dance skills, but to think about leading roles for the future~"

Sally rambled on and on excitedly as I couldn't help but continue to stare at the flier, reading it. 'Foxtrot Dance Competition! Partner Required! Come test out your dancing skills! Winners get to be the star in the upcoming play!' The thought wasn't too bad! You didn't know how to dance much, you had some skill, but hey, the worst that could happen was that you would place last right? Deep in thought, Wally's voice broke you out of your thoughts.

"Thank you for the offer Sally, but I think both neighbor and I will have to de-"

"I'll do it!" You spoke with newfound excitement. It would give you something to do on these hot summer days and learn a new skill, there are no downsides!

Wally looked over at you, eyes widening. He looked at you with dilated pupils, but you couldn't help but smile excitedly. Sally couldn't either, she was beginning to shine even more than she already was! Grabbing both of my hands and pulling me up to jump up and down.

"Oh my goodness that's so exciting! Thank you neighbor I absolutely know you're going to do great and you are going to dance wonderfully and-" Sally kept on and on, jumping you in circles to the point you were almost dizzy.

Wally looked down at the flier again, contemplating before letting out a quiet sigh. What was he getting himself into? The sight of you with your wide smile though, was all that he could ask for. He loved seeing his friend smile.

"I'll join in too. You need a partner for these kinds of things, right? Neighbor, I'd like to enter with you as my partner if you don't mind~" He spoke, looking towards you with his signature smile. Your excitement only continued to grow as you grabbed Wally's hand.

"I'd absolutely love to! We are an unstoppable pair! This is going to be a breeze!"

"Well, you two better get to practicing then! The competition is the next Saturday, not this upcoming one!" Sally interrupted, tapping the flier to show the date.

"That's only...10 days away! Is that even enough time?" Wally asked, there was a hint of worry in his voice. "I don't know how to dance very well, in fact, I'm poor at it."

You never actually heard Wally admit he wasn't very good at something before, so that was a first. He was usually a confident guy, it may seem as if he was full of himself sometimes sure, but he always meant well. You couldn't help but smile.

"Well, what's the worst that'll happen Mr. Darling?"

He pondered that for a moment, shaking his head as he gave a lighthearted laugh. "Ha ha ha. Nothing too bad I guess now that I think about it! You're right neighbor. You always know how to view things positively. That's what makes you the most!"

You couldn't help but smile, as Sally looked between the two of you, a small smirk set across her face.

"Well, get to dancing you two! I want to see passion and sparks! Make my heart SOAR with your dancing! I have to tell others about this-"

"Haven't you already put fliers over the whole neighborhood?" You raised an eyebrow.

"That's barely enough! I have to get going!" Sally laughed and waved, grabbing her fliers when she spotted her next targets. With a cheerful smile, she ran towards Eddie and Frank. You could faintly hear in the distance her rambling on about the competition.

"God, does that girl ever know how to slow down?"

"Sometimes I wonder if she knows the meaning of slow."

You and Wally both looked at each other and laughed, holding the flier in your hand as you extended your other to Wally.

"Well 'Partner,' looks like you're stuck with me for the next 10 days! You ready to get your dancing shoes on?"

"You make it sound like being stuck with you is a bad thing! I'm delighted neighbor." He spoke, grabbing your hand as you lifted him off the ground and onto his feet. You couldn't help but smile at him, as you looked down at the flier once more, putting your hand to your chin as you began to pace back and forth.

"I need to make sure I have the appropriate attire, dance shoes for certain, we need to have lots of water, especially during this heatwave. Hmm...do you have a music disc? Or at least a slow-paced song?" You thought allowed, looking towards Wally who was thinking alongside you.

"I know I have one somewhere at Home, I might just have to go and dig for it is all! Other than that, I think we are as prepared as we could be. If we need to, we could always go to Howdy's Bugdega and ask for some supplies?"

"I might have to...I don't recall having any dancewear...I do know we need to start immediately! Tomorrow! After we get our supplies, let's get straight to dancing and see what we need to work on!!" You spoke enthusiastically, your hands on your hips as you had this smirk about you.

Wally couldn't help but roll his eyes and sigh a little at your disposition. It was too late to back out now, and he certainly wasn't going to. He couldn't help but remain cheery though.

"Well then neighbor, I do have a couple of things I need to do before then, like clean Home and find some records. So I will probably head back, as it is starting to become late anyways." Wally looked over to the sky, it was getting a bit late! Time always seemed to fly by when you were with each other.

You nodded and smiled, giving a little salute. "Well then Mr. Darling! I'll be at Home at nine am sharp! You better be prepared!" You half-joked, as you turned around, giving him a little wave as you began to walk back to your house.

"Be safe neighbor! I'll see you at nine am!" Wally smiled, waving goodbye as they headed back towards home.

As you began to walk home though, a pit of nervousness began to grow in your stomach. Dancing? You had no idea what you were doing! You've never slow-danced before, nonetheless been to a dance, unless you count dancing in your bedroom with the music turned up.

You sighed, making it to your home, opening the door, and heading inside, putting the flier on the kitchen counter, as you stared at it.

What did you get yourself into?

AUTHORS NOTE:

THIS IDEA MAKES ME SO SOFT!! I genuinely have about 10 chapters in mind, one for each day...so I hope you enjoy this neighbor!

Gentle Reminder I am a student and I am writing these when I can, finals are ROUGH!

You can also find this story on my wattpad!

Gravity Falls would make a really fun D&D campaign.

Dipper is a wizard, Mabel is a bard, Stan is a rogue, Ford is a warlock, and Soos is a monk

The DM normally likes to run big, intricately planned storylines, but it gets draining. For this game, they decide to relax and just do a fun monster-of-the-week game without much overarching story.

Soos's player isn't much help because he's new to the game & has a busy schedule irl, but no one minds. He isn't as much into the game as he is into hanging out with his friends, so he's fine just being the party's moral support.

Dipper's player took character creation more seriously, while Stan and Mabel were silly joke characters. Their players are the only two brave enough to do character voices, though.

Ford's player was a member of the friend group that moved away. She texts the group chat to announce she's moving back; can she join the campaign when she gets the chance? The DM asks her to send Ford’s character sheet & backstory to them before she joins, “just in case”. She texts “I hope you don’t mind me having a homebrew patron 🫣” before sending the DM 5 pages of Ford backstory and a full stat block for a homebrew Great Old One named Bill Cipher. The DM’s urge to make huge intricate plots kicks in. “OMG I have so many ideas already. Can I use Bill as a character in the campaign?”

Stan has a long lost twin brother, but the DM hasn’t been able to work that into the campaign yet. Suddenly, Stan’s player gets an idea. He frantically texts the DM and Ford’s player. They come up with a scheme together. This is SO going to blow everyone’s minds.

For Ford’s player’s first session, she mostly sits on the sidelines. Everyone keeps asking the DM when her character gets introduced, but they never answer. Then Stan says “The author of the journals. My brother.” Enter Ford. The whole table goes ballistic.

The campaign is suddenly a lot more plot focused, and the players are hooked. The DM keeps trying to lean into cosmic horror, but the players are DETERMINED to goof off. DM is really good at building tension, though, so sometimes they get into the serious RP despite themselves.

The DM has A LOT of fun playing Bill. They pull out an actual voice changer for him during Weirdmageddon, and it gets almost as big of a reaction as the Ford reveal. During the final session, they literally scream themself hoarse acting out Bill’s death. It’s awesome. Long after this campaign ends, yelling “STANLEEEEEEYYYY” is an inside joke among the friend group.

#gravity falls #dungeons and dragons #d&d #I know this is cringe & I’m posting it anyway bc SCREW YOU

There is Karma [Chapter 2]

Masterlist

Chapter 1, Chapter 3

It had been a few days since your volunteering, you were in group chat with the rest of the volunteers, you clicked on Yoongi’s picture and added his number to your contacts. You have been seriously considering messaging him, but you don’t want to seem crazy, and if you do message him, what will you even say? Things are getting busy at work as the fiscal year is coming to an end, you decide it’s best not to say anything for now.

Ding

You heard your phone, but you were in an online meeting with your stakeholders from Japan, you couldn’t check your phone immediately.

Ding

You were curious who was sending you all these messages, nobody messaged you like this. The meeting had another 5 minutes, you thanked God that the Japanese were strict on time, meaning this meeting will actually end in 5 minutes.

Finally, you had the chance to check your phone.

You have been added to a group chat.

You saw that Sora had made a separate group chat from the main chat, with you, Yoongi, Yeonjun and herself.

Sora: So guys, I made this chat, maybe we can volunteer again as a team, there’s many opportunities posted on the main chat, let me know if anything interests anyone

‘Yeonjun Set the name of the group chat to Dream Team ☆’

Yoongi: Sure.

Yeonjun: How about we all volunteer at the Hope orphanage this coming Sunday?

Nobody had responded, Sunday was one of your free days.

You: Yes, sounds great, what time?

Yeonjun: Awesome, 11:30am

Yeonjun: Sora? Yoongi?

You could see double blue ticks on your message, Yoongi had read it, why wasn’t he replying, you were starting to feel a little anxious, hoping he would agree.

Sora: Yes, I’ll see you guys there!!! Sooo excited!!

You felt a little relaxed, your new friend Sora will be there at least, you reacted with a thumbs up on her message and put your phone down to focus on your work.

A few hours had passed, it was almost 6pm, you normally left work around 6:30pm, since you were feeling a little peckish you decided to leave a little earlier, to grab something to eat before you called it a day.

You opened the group chat, still no response from Yoongi. Just then as on cue:

Yoongi: I am busy in the morning, but I can join at 12:30pm.

A smile plastered your face as you were exiting your office building.

Finally it was D-day, you’ll get to see Yoongi today. You got dressed in mid-length pale pink pleated skirt, a white shirt, white trainers and a pale pink cardigan, it was a little chilly today. You did your hair and makeup, then messaged Sora that you are on your way.

When you arrived, Sora was already in the parking lot.

“_____! You’re here! Yeonjun is going to be little late, we’ll go first?”

You exchanged your greetings, it was nice to always see Sora being cheerful, you never really had friend like her, she was sweet, kind, and genuine. On the contrary, you were never genuine, you didn’t care about others in the past, you used to be self-centred hence having no friendships for many years until you met Sora.

You were preparing a snacks table for the children; Sora was decorating the room with bunting and balloons.

“Do you like Yoongi?” she asked out of the blue.

You almost chocked on air, eyes wide, like a deer caught in headlights. Sora chuckled at your reaction, wiggling her eyebrows, expecting an answer.

“Umm, I do find him interesting, is it that obvious?” you tamely asked.

She laughed, “Of course not, I just had a feeling, I specifically made the group chat to bring you guys closer, you guys look so cute together, even Yeonjun thinks the same!”

You were flabbergasted and giddy at the same time, unable to contain your smile.

Sora patted your back and winked, “I’ll be your cupid, don’t you worry _____.”

It was now 12pm Yeonjun had just arrived and got to work, he kept the children entertained with his storytelling, as you and Sora made some final touches.

It was 12:20pm, you heard the door open and saw Yoongi walk in, instinctively you smiled and waved at him, he smiled back with a wink, making your heart skip a beat.

Yeonjun’s story had ended, the children were quietly sat in the library room, Yoongi asked them to follow his instruction, and surprisingly they were listening, he led them to the room where you and Sora had prepared the snacks and decorations. It was heart-warming to see them smile jumping around in excitement. They enjoyed the snacks as the 4 of you and the 2 caretakers helped to serve snack and drinks to them. After the children were done, some of them had made a little mess, Yoongi swiftly grabbed tissues and wet wipes, cleaning them, you joined in to help.

It was nice spending the afternoon with the children, you could see that multiple times Yeonjun and Sora purposely put you and Yoongi together to complete tasks, not that you minded, it was just so funny that being adults they were still pulling the high school tricks, nevertheless you were thankful as you got to learn more about Yoongi.

Yoongi liked oranges, his favourite perfume scent was bergamot, and he owned a chain of cafes under his family’s business ‘Min Corperation’, you were aware of the business but just never had the chance to work with them in the past.

Your week started off boring, it was 2pm, you decided to message Yoongi. It’s not weird to ask him out for a coffee, he does have a chain of cafes… you pull out your phone.

Hello Yoongi, would you be free…

No, it was too formal, you erased the text.

Hey Yoongi, would you be up for coffee sometime this week?

Sent.

Your heart was beating a little faster and harder, you anxiously stared at your text, it seemed fine but why were your ears burning up, you reluctantly put down your phone, screen facing down. It’s not like Yoongi will reply straight away.

You tried to focus on your work, you had to win this contract you’ve been working on for weeks, you had to prove to your father that you were worthy of taking on his company, not your half-brother Kim Taehyung.

Taehyung your older half-brother, the golden child of your stepmother, of course he would be because he was her own blood and flesh. Whereas you were a side product of your father’s extramarital affair. Your stepmother made it clear from day one she disliked you; your father was absent for the most of your childhood, you had various nannies who took care of you over the years until you were capable of taking care of yourself. You had sworn to impress your father and outshine Kim Taehyung, the bane of your existence.

Buzz buzz.

You raised your head and looked at your phone, it was ringing, it was Yoongi!

You picked up “Hello?”

“Hey ____ how are you?”

“Good, you?”

“Good good, I was wondering instead of going out, would you like to help me out with something?”

Your heart at this point was racing, you’re sure he could hear it through the phone.

“You still there?” Yoongi asked, showing a hint of concern.

“Yes, I’m here, sorry, help you with what?”

“I have new coffee roast blends, they just arrived today, I need to pick out the best one, for our winter toffee lattes, help me decide the which one to sell?”

“Of course, I’d love to!” you exclaimed, you internally slapped yourself, you sounded like you were five.

Yoongi chuckled, “Great I’ll text you my address be there for 7 yeah?”

“Yup see ya at 7” you quickly hung up and grabbed your water bottle.

Woah that was more difficult than trying to negotiate with your clients. It was 4:30pm, you decided to leave at 5pm, get dressed and leave your apartment by 6, to be at Yoongi’s place by 7pm.

Your door flew open, and walked in Kim Taehyung, why did he have to be here to ruin your mood.

“Dad want’s analysis done on the future potential partnerships, do it by the end of tonight.”

He threw the file of papers on your desk.

“No.”

Taehyung turned back to look at you with disgust.

“What do you mean, no? How dare you, you filthy little b-”

“Taehyung, I said no, I can’t do this plus it’s your side of the business” you cut him off.

He walked over to you, placing both his hand on your desk and lowering himself to your sitting level.

“Okay, I was going to tell you a little secret after you did this as a reward, so you wouldn’t be too shocked my dear little sister.” He looked soullessly into your eyes.

You were starting to feel anxious and fidgety, Taehyung never had good news.

“Fine I’ll do for Friday if you tell me what secret” you bargained.

“No-uh has to be done tonight.”

“Tae I really can’t do it for tonight”.

“It’s Taehyung for you, not just Tae, and fine, do it by tomorrow afternoon.”

“Fine. Tell me the secret first!”

“Work first”

“I will do it, I promise, can’t you just let me know?”

He was enjoying this a lot; you could see how he was trying to hide his smirk.

“Dad is getting you married to his best friend and business partners one and only son, Park Jimin.”

You were too shocked to even respond, how could your father do this to you, he knew what sort of a person Jimin was, everyone did.

“Bye sister!” Taehyung yelled as he slammed your door shut.

It was almost 5, Yoongi, that’s right, you had to leave to meet Yoongi on time, you can worry about Jimin later, for all you know this could be one of Taehyung’s sick pranks.

Seisoukan☆Test of Courage Night / Episode 1

Author: Yuumasu

Characters: Tomoya, Tsumugi, Sora, Wataru, Mayoi, Shinobu

"Going to a summer festival with Chief...?!"

Directory ✧ Next →

Season: Summer Location: Dead End Café

End of September, at the "Dead End Café" after closing.

Tomoya: Cheers~♪ Good job, everybody.

Since the opening event wasn't too long ago, I was a bit worried about the success of this event too.

I'm glad this event went as well as the last one. Thanks to the new members, Aoba-senpai and Harukawa ♪

Tsumugi: Fufu. I'm thankful for Anzu-chan's leadership and fortunate timing~

The concept of this café is that a girl wanders into the "world of the dead" and is served by dead waiters—

I was asked to serve as a "Magician of the Dead". Luckily, Sora-kun and I had some free time in our schedules.

It's a pity that only Natsume-kun couldn't join us because of his work.

I'm sure he wanted to be here. This morning, he said to me, "It's not Fair that you get to work with Wataru-niisan."

Sora: HaHa~♪ Didn't Shishou sneak into the café?

Tsumugi: Eh, really?!

Wataru: Yes, he made a brief appearance but had to leave because he was on the move.

Sora: When he saw Sora and Daishishou entertaining the guests, he praised them, saying, "You're doing a great Job" ♪

Tsumugi: Is that so? Jeez, I wish he would talk to me too.

Tomoya: I was nearby and suggested, "why don't we call Aoba-senpai over?"

But, since you seemed busy, I was rejected.

Tsumugi: Was that Natsume-kun trying to be considerate? Anyway, I'll call him later.

Mayoi: Chief, Anzu-san, I apologize for keeping you waiting so long...

Shinobu: Mayoi-dono, there is no need to worry, de gozaru.

I was curious to see what dish you'd create while having a pleasant chat with Anzu-dono!

Mayoi: To be the subject of conversation... I'm afraid I might disappoint expectations.

Shinobu: Ohh, it's your special omurice, de gozaru!

Anzu-dono's prediction came true, huh~ Well done ♪

Mayoi: I-Is that so... It's the same as last time, I apologize for my lack of artistic flair.

I did consider trying a different dish, but the sight of you enjoying it so deliciously remained vividly in my heart...

...Huh? You wanted to eat it again? "That's why I'm happy you made omurice", um...

I'm honored to hear you say that. Yes, please enjoy your meal...♪

Shinobu: I had no idea that Anzu-dono, who has a small appetite, could eat so vigorously. You must have really wanted to eat Mayoi-dono's omurice~♪

...Hmm? Is there another reason you're eating in such a hurry, de gozaru?

Mayoi: Eh, do you have to work after this?

I'm sorry for making you wait so long, I didn't know that...!

Wataru: Not to worry, Anzu-san will be whisked away in my personal hot air balloon. We shall take a magnificent flight to the site...☆

Tomoya: Does that mean you also have work after this, Hibiki-senpai?

And yet you took on the "Dead End Café" project. That's amazing.

Wataru: Fufufu. My disposition is such that the busier I am, the merrier I am.

Anzu-san seems to have finished her meal, so we will leave you first.

Until we meet again, farewell...☆

Tsumugi: Yes, thanks for your hard work ♪ Good luck with your next job, Anzu-chan!

Tsumugi: ...Oh, no.

Tomoya: What's wrong, Aoba-senpai?

Tsumugi: I asked Ritsu-kun to come up with a recipe for the Dead End Pie, and there's a bit leftover that I wanted to give to Anzu-chan.

Looks like they've already left... We have no choice but to eat them ourselves.

Tomoya: I see. I'll go get a knife and plates for everyone!

Tsumugi: Thank you very much. Hehe, Mashiro-kun is such a nice and thoughtful boy.

Shinobu: Speaking of thoughtfulness, Mayoi-dono really shone today, de gozaru.

Although your main role was behind the scenes, you occasionally came forward and engaged with the customers, right?

Mayoi: D-Did you see it?

That was, well, um, it seemed like there weren't enough servers, so... Uuu, how shameful.

Shinobu: It is nothing to be ashamed of. I, for one, am impressed by your growth, de gozaru.

Despite your fright, you seemed to enjoy interacting with them.

Mayoi: I was so focused on work that I didn't have time to spare, and I was only smiling half-heartedly...

But now that it's over, I feel like it was enjoyable, even the customer service...♪

Shinobu: Mhm. I thought it might be tough for someone shy, so I didn't bring it up, but... If I had known, I would have invited you to the summer events, de gozaru~

Mayoi: Summer events?

Shinobu: Yes! Like a summer festival, or a test of courage...

Mayoi: Going to a summer festival with Chief...?!

(Uuu, but, I'm not good with crowds...)

Like the young cultivator heirs, Lan Sizhui is going to be inaugurated as Sect leader of the Wen sect.

However, the Mengs, along with the Jianghu, got ready to attend the inauguration.

Yao: A-Die, are you coming?

Wen Ruohan: no Yao'er. I don't want to go.

Yao: any reason? The former Wen sect leader should be present right?

Wen Ruohan: That Reform Wen sect is weak. That's not the great Wen Ruohan's sect.

Yao: I see. So be it then.

Meng Shi: it's fine, Ruoruo. We know that you love to appear as the powerful person you are.

Wen Ruohan: yea. Like how dare he turn my sect into the Lan sect.

Meng Shi: at least the Jianghu will be peaceful.

A-Yao, A-Su. Sisi will babysit Hua. So don't worry.

Yao: I'll never worry, A-niang. I know she's in safe hands. Aunt Sisi and the maids will take good care of her.

Qin Su: they already love her, and Hua loves them.

Sisi: *comes in, holding Taihua* baby, say goodbye to your A-niang, A-Die.

Taihua: bye A-Die. *kisses*

Yao: bye baby. *kisses in return*

Taihua: *does the same to Qin Su* bye A-niang.

Qin Su: *squishes cheeks* see you soon, baby. Love you*

Taihua: bye Nainai!

Meng Shi: awww baby. See you later.

*smile and kisses her*

Let's go, Yao'er.

See you soon, Ruoruo. And please don't cause any chaos.

Wen Ruohan: haha, I'll try.

Taihua: yeye. Behave.

Meng Shi: you heard her, right?

Wen Ruohan: ahahaha. These grandchildren of mine. They soften my heart.

Meng Shi: mmm.

Yao: as they should.

Wen Ruohan: See you guys later. Don't be late.

Qishan📍

The magnificent red mansion of the Nightless city, is hosting its biggest event. Sizhui is soon going to become Sect leader Wen Yuan.

Firstly, they're having a settling soiree, where guests arrive and have light refreshments before the ceremony starts.

The Jianghu's cultivators and sect members arrived, where they were greeted by Sizhui and Wen Qing.

Wangxian were already there! Thereafter the glamorous imperial families came~ the Mengs and the Jins.

The royal ladies all entered in together, just to join with their husbands and significant others* after. Yes they do this to be iconic, and show off their feminine elegance.

Huanghous are the true power behind Huangdi after all.

They also do this to gossip sometimes.

So that's Yanli, Qin Su, Meng Shi and a very shy A-qing. Wen Qing is a part of the crew too, but she's busy with the Wen Remnants and Sizhui.

Team d also followed A-Yao as usual, whereas A-Yao and Zixuan were chatting with each other and fluttering their fans.

Rusong, Jinling and Jingyi also did the same.

Zixuan: loving the Wen motifs in your outfit, Yaoyao.

Yao: thank you so much, Zish.

Would you ever wear Wen clothes?

Zixuan: ah, I don't think I'll do justice like you.

Yao: aww.

Zixuan: Ayao, the effects of the sunshot campaign were something.

Yao: It was truly really tragic. However

I'm glad that it's under great guidance once again. The Wen sect is now pure.

No uprising will happen.

Zixuan: I agree. Sizhui is so brilliant. You know A-ling admires him.

And I find that the Wen siblings are really sweet.

Yao: definitely. They're the best of friends.

I was once a Wen, so I'm showing support as well.

Zixuan: Foxy, you're an icon. The true hero of the sunshot campaign.

And it would be amazing if you were the Wen sect leader, as Wen Ruohan treated you as a son.

Yao: haha. That would have been an honor. But I didn't wish to.

A-qing (wearing a regal fit): *nervous and blushing* why should I be here with you? I'm not an empress. I'll go meet up with xue yang.

Qin Su: oh what are you saying? You're Song'er's girlfriend.

Yanli: you belong with us.

A-qing: really? It's just I'm not that accustomed to being at such a level.

Meng Shi: what level? Mischievous Aqing.

Qin Su: we're all glamorous and strong. You should be a part of the crew too.

Yanli: you're not Huanghou yet.

A-qing: *blushing*

Meng Shi: oh gosh, the blushing would never end.

Yanli: because Song'er is the cutest, obviously she'll blush.

Qin Su: she looks cute when she blushes.

Yanli: A-qing, Wen Qing and Mianmian are also a part of our group too. Whenever we have a soiree, we'll invite you.

Qin Su: do come.

Aqing: certainly. Thank you!

Qin Su: we have four emperors in front of us, Yanyan. But A-ling don't have a girlfriend?

Yanli: shh, Susu. I'm arranging a marriage for him later on. With Mianmian's daughter.

Qin Su: delightful news! And Mianmian is already Xuan gege's sworn sister.

Meng Shi: Luo Yuan is already around A-ling's age,

Yanli: yea. She's younger than Song'er actually.

Meng shi: mn.

Miss Luo is from a good family. She's a countess and she's well mannered.

(In this fic, she's around A-ling's age).

Qin Su: exactly.

Meng Shi: I'll meet with the matchmaker immortal and tell you the good news.

Yanli: thank you, taihou!

Meng Shi: no prob.

A-qing: that's a nice match. From what I heard from you.

I haven't really met Luo Yuan.

Yanli: you'll meet her very very soon.

A-qing: ok. Don't worry, aunt Yan, I won't tell Jinling, and Rusong.

Yanli: right!

Qin Su: see, you're already keeping secrets for us.

A-qing: as I should!

Qin Su: excuse me, taihou. I'm going to meet up with Huangdi.

Meng Shi: go ahead, dear.

Yanli: excuse me too. I must be by my Huangdi's side as well.

Meng Shi: of course. *smiling*

Stand next to A-Xuan.

Yanli: mn.

A-qing: *blushing while walking with Meng Shi*

Meng Shi: aren't you going to meet Rusong?

A-qing: *turning red*

Meng Shi: you can go ahead. You two should be seen as a pair.

A-qing: ok, Nainai. It's just that he makes me blush.

Meng Shi: aww.

~~~

Qin Su: Huangdi.

Yao: A-Su.

Sizhui: nice to meet you again, Huangdi and Huanghou.

Yao: pleasure to meet you too.

Congratulations on becoming the sect leader.

Sizhui: thanks to you, Huangdi. This would have been impossible without you.

Yao: well I must implement things for the youngsters of the Jianghu.

Sizhui: yes! Huangdi, after the ceremony and banquet, we will have a little sword training session.

It would be lovely if you supervised us, and maybe correct our techniques.

Yao: of course. *smiling* I'm happy that Zongzhu remembers that I was a Wen.

Sizhui: haha. How could I forget!

Rusong: congrats Sizhui. Or should I call you sect leader Wen.

Sizhui: thank you, Dianxia.

I'll protect your fox spirits. *bow* this is my promise to the future Huangdi.

Rusong: *smiles* mn. I believe that you will.

And we're friends after all.

Ouyang Zizhen: (Rusong Dianxia is so regal and hot)

A-qing: congrats again, Wen Yuan.

Sizhui: thanks a lot. You look so good alongside Dianxia.

A-qing: *blush* really.

Sizhui: mhm.

Rusong: I agree. We make a pair.

Jingyi: *hugs* Sizhui!! Congrats! I'm so so happy for you.

Sizhui: thanks dude!!

Jingyi: you're always awesome.

Jinling: *closes fan* Congrats, Sizhui!

Sizhui: hey Jinling. Thanks for your wishes.

Ouyang Zizhen: you're so cool.

~~~

Afterwards, everyone had their seats, then the ceremony started.

A-Yao, as huangdi, placed the guan on Wen Yuan's head.

Yao: this was one of the sect leader guans that was owned by Wen Ruohan.

As you know, I have collected a lot of Wen and sunshot memorabilia.

Now go forward and be a great sect leader.

Sizhui: I promise.

Yao: I'll gift you a few swords from the Wen sect.

Sizhui: ah, I'm grateful to you Huangdi. Thank you.

*kisses hand*

Zixuan: congrats, Wen Yuan.

Sizhui: thank you, Xuan Huangdi. *kisses his hand as well* I know you and Yao Huangdi rule the Jianghu together. You're a team.

Zixuan: we certainly are.

Wen qing: *hugs* I'm so proud of you, A-Yuan!

Wei wuxian: that's my son!!! Woooo!

Lan Zhan: congratulations.

Sizhui: *smiling*

Yao: soon my son and nephew will become Sect leader Qin and Jin.

And Ouyang Zizhen will become a sect leader as well, in accordance to the current sect leader.

Su she: welcome to the Jianghu, Wen Zongzhu.

Huangdi and I have full expectations for you.

Sizhui: thanks a lot, xiandu.

Sizhui: now...shall we party?

Su she: of course! It's your inauguration.

Sizhui: perhaps they would have to do sword training tomorrow. In case they get drunk.

Speaking of 'drubk' and angry Wen Ruohan enters.

Would he take back his Nightless palace?

Crystal listened intently as he gave his thoughts on the situation, nodding along to look as though she was taking it all in. "Death or mass abduction is our only options here? The only way I see mass kidnapping making sense is…aliens. Though, I don't know if I'd give up on the afterlife theory just yet." She had been out in the lake in the middle of the night after all, either death or alien abduction made sense to her as an outcome for arriving here.

"That is kind of weird huh? You get this big group of people and then randomly one offs come around to join the party? You'd think would whoever brought us here just have us all show up all at once and then nobody else, otherwise what's the point of bringing the whole group if you've got a few stragglers every few weeks that you forgot about."

But what did she know, right? That seemed like something that would take way too much time and energy to figure out. Especially when she would much rather focus on Tej than some mystery. At least she might get actually somewhere with Tej, at least she hoped so based off the way he looked at her and licked his lips. "I'm glad you agree. You do strike me as a guy who likes to have a good time though so it looks like I waved down the right person. Maybe you can give me a tour and show me all the best spots on this beach."

Crystal did love the paint splatter effect that his gem seemed to have, from the parasocial knowledge she had of him, it seemed like it suited him. But she wasn't going to say it out loud so instead she posed it as a question. "You into art? Big on paint? Or do these little accents have a deeper meaning than that?" Her own gem, she wasn't entirely sure of. The only blue gems she knew about were sapphires, and it didn't have any special touches like his did. "I don't know. I think it's lovely though. And I do like the idea that I could make someone jealous. Not like I have any control over what I got."

She hummed softly, shrugging at his remark about sneaking into pools. "Maybe. It's also very good when you want some alone time." which in a way was true. Wanting that time to be alone and self reflect, until she ended up here. Then a question meant to be more heart wrenching. Did she really miss anyone? Maybe her parents, despite everything they always did their best to be there for her. But…it was incredibly difficult for her to think about anyone truly special enough to miss. Crystal looked down at her feet dangling in the water, clasping her hands together in her lap and letting out an almost wistful sigh. "I don't really have anyone back home to miss. People in my life are either already gone or don't deserve to be missed. What about you? Feeling homesick?"

Any other concerns? In this moment Crystal didn't think she had any right to have any concerns. Even if her dramatic lore drop caused a shift in the mood, she was still on a beautiful beach with perfect weather, chatting up a hot guy. She was having a great time. "That's about it for now. I don't see this getting dull for me any time soon, I'm a simple girl, easy to please." she answered, giving him a coy smile. "I've met a few other people but not too many yet. Though, you know what I did see that there's that list of everyone's phone numbers hung up. I thought that was so cute and thought it would be fun to text a few numbers to say hi. So there's some I've met just not in person."

"There's actually one," she started, chuckling in amusement to herself as her brain already started to twist the events that took place. "It was kind of funny, kind of weird, I think his name is Zaid? That's what the name was on the sheet next to the number. I think he really misunderstood me and thought I was hitting on him over text. Like, ok, ego much? I was just being nice and all of a sudden he invited me over for 'dinner'." she put emphasis and air quotes around the word, as if he hadn't offered up the information to her that he was a chef. "I don't know what that's all about. But I don't think I'm going, especially if he's some kind of weirdo."

Why were they there. A frost filled his chest, an ice cold spring of dread. Those rows of bungalows did not house as random of a sampling as it seemed. Not when Tej knew a few of them, or discovered being separated by a degree from another. A self-centered view but then again how could he not think that way?

"Yeah," he started. "See, I dunno. Thought maybe I bit it, you know. Died. We're all dead." Tej thought about it enough after Inika, so maybe his wish was granted. "Too obvious, the dead thing? It'd be an elaborate mass kidnapping otherwise, yeah? But, ah. Not sure how long it's been. Months now. Woke up with a big group of people. The first group. Or, first ones in awhile."

Why waste time asking unanswerable questions. Tej wasn't sure he was the type to accept the unknowable or wander blindly through it. However, that did not matter in the moment. Hell, didn't even care if she was real or a figment of his imagination. The anesthetic of grief deadened the nerves for so long, but now they began to feel again. "Enjoying ourselves, yeah." He wet his lips, gaze in a quick sweep over her again. "When you put it that way, it's almost impossible to resist."

She kept his arm in place to admire the stone. "I'm just special, hm. It's nice. An opal, I think. Reminds me of paint. Little splattered specks of the stuff." He did the same to her bracelet, reached out for Crystal's wrist and brushed the pads of his fingers over the blue stone. "Gotta wonder what these mean. Everyone's is different. What about yours. It's bright, clear. I'm sure someone will envy it."

Tej eyed the calm in front of them. Imagined Crystal alone in a pool with only the glow of the water reflected on the walls (the same color as her stone). "Sneaking into a pool? Thought that's reserved for skinny dipping with friends." In a public pool? Nah. He wondered if Crystal was in the community one at Barretto park but decided not to pursue it.

"Fine, not a black out. I might've seen a light. Barely remember now." His chin lifted. "Missing anyone back home?"

Tej thought nothing of the smooth slide from tacos to pizza. Tej nodded with a sliver of a smile. "Everyone's got their favorite place for a slice, but there's not really a bad one in New York, yeah?"

At the word cuisine, Tej sat a little straighter. Shoulders stiff, smile faded. Everything came back to Zaid, and it was infuriating. A star chef probably could whip up a delicious rival pizza using the processed dregs in the warehouse, no problem. Fuck Zaid. "Yeah, shit out of luck food wise. Well, you've seen the warehouse? There's packaged and tinned foods in there. Nothing fresh. Some people are doing the hunting and foraging thing. There is a fishing hole too. Fish jump right into the baskets. If you find a stand or food truck, lemme know."

"Got any other concerns aside from an empty stomach, Crystal from NYC?" Perhaps the easy air she seemed to move through this horror show with should be unnerving. It kind of wasn't. A temporary relief, more than anything. A chance to shut his mind off to the seriousness around him. "It's not gonna get dull dipping your toes in the water every day? Staring at the same crowd. Have you met anyone else?"

After helping Penny clean the bar on Monday, Shells asked Bea to join her on a quick supermarket trip because she ‘forgot some things’. If she knew Shells, which she did a lot, the ‘quick supermarket trip’ was actually because Shells forgot to buy a lot of things by the end of the month and needed help remembering stuff because she always gets too distracted to notice anything else.

So Beatrice sent Bradley a quick text, telling him she’d be out with Shells and for him not to worry. And since her boyfriend was too sweet and too smooth for his own good, honestly that man should be illegal, he wrote back ‘I’ll miss you still, so you better be prepared for when you come back ;)’. Beatrice just shoved her phone in her back pocket before Shells could notice how red her face got and questioned what did Rooster do now that made her flush so badly.

Honestly anything he did made her flush, but she loved it. This was the happiest she had been in years, with a guy who she used to think was out of her league and would never notice her, but he did. He did and he loved her and had no qualms in saying it. She couldn’t wish for someone better when he was already so great.

And he was great in a lot of aspects, if she could say so herself. With her face still warm as memories of these past days and how much she and Bradley got…busy…resurfaced in her brain, Beatrice just smiled wider as she got into Shells’ car, the blonde rambling about something that Bea truthfully couldn’t figure out what it was since her mind was somewhere else.

She did calm down however once they got to the supermarket and Shells grabbed a cart, pushing forward with the brunette right behind. Shells looked around for a bit, then back at Beatrice with a frown, “What was I going to get first again?”

“Shampoo.”

“Right! Shampoo.” Shells turned the cart to where the shampoo was located, Beatrice just rolled her eyes with a smile, following her as the two chatted a bit. Shells grabbed a few shampoos, the purple ones for blonde hair obviously, before questioning Beatrice who pulled out her phone to check the list she made on the note app.

Shells just remembered stuff as Beatrice said the list outloud, the two of them going from aisle to aisle with the blonde dropping stuff inside her cart, then she’d notice something else and add it to the cart as well, completely unrelated to the list she made moments before.

But,at least she was buying stuff either way, Beatrice would sometimes take the random item out whenever Shells was distracted again because she knew the blonde wouldn’t miss it if it was gone. The cart is already half full, which again proves this was just end of the month grocery shopping that Shells forgot, with the two of them walking out of the makeup aisle - with Beatrice gently taking the lipstick out of Shells’ hand and reminding her she had the exact same tube at home still unopened - and Shells leaning her folded arms on the cart’s handle.

“There’s something else I wanted,” Shells purses her lips in thought, “But I can’t remember what.”

Figures, Bea thought with a smile, “Is it edible?” Shells nods, “Is it a fruit?” again a positive response, “Is it mandarin oranges?”

“Yes! Wait…how do you know?”

“You love mandarin oranges but you always forget to write it down.” the brunette explains sweetly, looking back at the cashier, “Tell you what, why don’t you go to the cashier before the line gets bigger? It’s not like I’ll take long.” Shells looked the same direction her friend did, noticing the crowd nearing the cashier was getting bigger and bigger, then nodded and rushed forward.

Beatrice watched as Shells got to the end of the line, sending her friend a quick wave before she turned to where the mandarin oranges were. She knew Shells liked the big ones that usually came in a baggie of five, right by the end of the fruit stand, near the normal oranges. It doesn’t take long for her to find them, weighing each baggie in her hand before deciding to go to the heaviest one. With her back turned, she couldn’t see the person coming closer, only paying attention when she heard her name being called.

She hadn’t identified the voice, although it did seem very familiar, but she did turn around when she heard her name thinking that maybe it was a patron from the Hard Deck or even a former classmate from college.

Her smile however dropped instantly once she saw who it was. All the air in her lungs seemed to be stuck in her throat like a rock, making it hard for her to speak.

“Hey,Bea.” his voice sounded so strange, she used to love his voice back then. Now she thinks it’s nasal, higher and lacking a specific accent she adored so much, “It’s been a while.”

Beatrice held the bag of mandarin oranges to her chest like a shield, “...hi…Eric…” she looked back to the cashier, seeing that Shells hadn’t turned around and there were others behind her that prevented her from seeing what was happening, “I-It has been a while.”

Eric’s smile once gave her butterflies, but his lips weren’t full and pink , his smile wasn’t boyish, it was…strange, it looks strange, his lips were too thin for her now. Something she never noticed before, “Weird we meet here, after…so long right?”

Beatrice didn’t want to talk, it was clear by how she was giving him the wide eyed stare, “Yes.” was her answer, slowly creeping away from him and towards the front, but Eric didn’t seem to notice her discomfort. Of course not.

He kept the preppy boy haircut, a bit shaved by the sides, with the bangs puffed up in an almost pompadour, but it was wrong. It wasn’t wavy, the color wasn’t right either, it wasn’t that shade of golden brown that when the light hit the right way, looked like it was shining. Eric dropped his blue eyes down her body, “You look good.” but she just kept backing away from him, “You really do.”

Beatrice didn’t reply, looking over her shoulder to check how close she was and frowning when she noticed she still had a bit more to walk until she reached Shells, “Thanks.” he blinked at her response, almost expecting her to say that so did he. But he didn’t look good. He was shorter than she remembered, lankier, with an excuse of a stubble all over his lower jaw and neck.

Eric licked his lips, “How have you been?”

“Good.” go away, please go away.

“...I…well, I mean,” he gestures at her again, her ripped jeans and red long sleeved blouse, “You look good, I already said that didn’t I?” He was trying to be charming, but he wasn’t Bradley. He could never be Bradley. “You finished college, right? I think I heard something about it.”

“I really don’t want to have this conversation, Eric.” she says firmly, “I don’t think there’s anything we can say to each other.” She holds her head high and keeps eye contact, his blue eyes looking saturated and out of place the more she looks, “Have a nice day.”

“Wh- Bea, wait a minute!” He tries to keep up with her, but she uses the amount of people in the aisles to lose him. Once she reaches the cashier, reaches Shells, she drops the bag and looks back to where she saw him standing.

Shells looks at her by the corner of her eye, seeing how Beatrice’s chest heaved quietly, her face pale, “You okay? What happened?”

“I’ll tell you once we leave.” the brunette replies, helping Shells bag her groceries quicker than she planned, making both her friend and the young woman ringing the items look at her weirdly but saying nothing. Beatrice doesn’t wait for Shells once she walks out, holding the bags in her arms and stopping right behind the Buick bouncing on the spot out of nerves.

Shells frowns, pulling out her keys to unlock the car with a chime, “What’s gotten into you?” she asks, opening the trunk to place the groceries inside. Beatrice just frowns, looking back at Shells , “What?”

“I saw Eric.” her friend widens her eyes, looking back at the supermarket, “I literally just saw him.”

“You’ve gotta be shitting me.” the blonde snarls, turning her body back to the supermarket to see if he’d come out. But he never would, he always told Beatrice how her friends freaked him out a bit, especially Shells since she was as he said ‘kinda crazy’, but considering they met a few months before Beatrice broke up with Eric - and in the meantime shared the info about him to Shells- there was a reason why she’d be so mad. “He’s here?”

Beatrice nods, looking back at the supermarket with her arms crossed, “He tried talking to me but I-I I didn’t want to.” she says, “I left before he could stop me.”

Shells gave one final look to the glass doors, trying to see that twerp inside but no luck, so she told Bea to get in the car so they could get the hell out of there. Beatrice sighed heavily once she got in, rubbing her face with both hands as she tried to recover from what happened. “Are you going to tell Rooster?”

“...I don’t know, should I? It’s not like we talked.”

‘Still, it’d be interesting if he knew.” Shells mutters, looking back at the rearview mirror to check if he walked out so she could beat his ass, but alas she had no luck like that “So he could fucking destroy him if he shows up again.”

“...you think he’ll show up again?”

Shells shrugged while turning on the car, driving them away from the parking lot “Kinda weird he showed up outta nowhere after four years and just when you have a new boyfriend who is twice the size that fuckhead ever was.” she scoffs, “Tha piece of shit, he really tried to act like nothing happened between the two of you?” Beatrice nods, looking down at her hands, ‘Unbelievable.”

Beatrice sighs, rubbing the back of her neck. Shells’ words made sense, weird how he’d show up like that after so long. Not that it’d change anything between her and Rooster, hell no, she had nothing but contempt for her ex now and nothing that he said would change her mind. But she did feel shaken from seeing him again after so long, noticing that what she once admired was just gone, he was no longer handsome to her.

He probably never was, but she couldn’t get it back then, because she was young and had a guy who was interested in her. But she wasn’t young anymore, nor naive, nor single. Whatever Eric wanted when he met her, he wouldn’t be able to get it, because she moved on.

She should’ve told him she had a boyfriend, but she was so eager to get the hell out of there she didn’t think about it.

She hoped she wouldn’t see him again, she really did. She didn’t need that type of stress in her life anymore, Eric was in the past, Bradley is her present - literally- and she’s more than happy with that.

That’s when after she helps Shells with the groceries and the blonde gives her a ride to her therapist, Beatrice tells Dr.Varma what happened. She shouldn’t be surprised her therapist told her to tell Bradley about it, because it clearly bothered her considering she was still thinking of how much she just wanted to leave when she saw Eric there.

It bothered her having him come back when she was so happy with someone who really loved her. And try to talk to her? For what? They broke things off four years ago, she had her time to mourn their relationship and now she had someone else.

Someone wonderful. Someone who deserved to know about Eric.

“Baby.”

Beatrice blinked, snapping out of her thoughts to see Bradley standing next to her, his chest heaving from running after Jolene who was now playing with a great dane not far from them. She decided to go to the dog park after she got back home, to which he agreed promptly which didn’t surprise her at all, just to clear her mind for a bit.

But of course Bradley noticed something was off, hence why he was looking down at her with a slight frown, “What’s wrong? You are very quiet.”

Beatrice looked up at him, opened her mouth then closed, then repeated the pattern resembling a fish out of water but the words didn’t come out. She sighed, bringing her knees to her chest to support her chin on them,”I…” she closed her eyes for courage, ‘I saw Eric at the supermarket today.”

From the corner of her eye she saw Bradley pause his movements for a second as he supported himself to sit down next to her on the grass. She couldn’t see his eyes because of the sunglasses but she had a feeling he had narrowed them. Once he touches the grass, scooting closer to her with his arms resting over his bent knees, he licks his dry lips while taking in the information, “You saw Eric,” he repeats in a quiet voice, “Did he see you too?”

Beatrice looked at her hands, running her thumb ring, “He actually saw me first.” she whispers, “He…tried talking to me, but I just wanted to leave. I…I haven’t seen him in so long, it felt weird.” she explains, looking ahead to where Jolene was now roughhousing with a german shepherd and the great dane, zooming all over the place, “I didn’t want to talk to him.”

“I don’t blame you.” he said, “...are you okay?” she sighs, her shoulders dropping once she does and she chews her lower lip. Rooster frowns, tucking a strand of hair that slid from behind her ear, then touching the curve of her jawline,”Baby, talk to me.”

“...I never noticed how ugly he was.”

He couldn’t help himself, he sputtered a laugh that he weakly tried to cover with a hand, but it was no such luck because now it bubbled out of him in a way that made tears form in his eyes. Beatrice couldn’t help but laugh as well, watching her boyfriend remove his sunglasses to wipe his eyes, “Ah” he’s still chuckling, “Shit that’s so funny.”

“It’s the truth.” she says, “I am okay though, I promise. I just…you know,I never expected to see him again.” Beatrice shrugs, turning the ring on her thumb, “And for him to just strike up a conversation with me it was really weird. He didn’t say much, you know, he just said that I looked good.”

Rooster’s eyes darkened behind his sunglasses once he put them back on again, his smile faltering for a bit, “Well, he isn’t blind at least.” came out a bit heavier than he intended.

“I don’t care, Roos.” Bea shrugs, “I don’t care if he thinks I look good or not. I don’t care about him. I was just shocked and I wanted to leave, I didn’t want to see him anymore. He’s my past.” she says in a firm voice, looking at the beach in the distance, “Shells thinks it’s suspicious that he showed up again like that out of nowhere.”

Something in the back of his mind remembered the red truck, a voice telling him there’s a connection there between the truck and her ex. He rubs his chin once his laughter finally stops, “I agree with Shells, it is a bit weird.” he begins, “Does he know you work at the Hard Deck?”

“No, I don’t think so. The last information he knew about me was that I graduated.” Beatrice shrugs, plucking the threads on her ripped jeans with interest “So I guess that’s fine? I mean, it was probably a coincidence.”

But honestly, neither of them really believed that even if they didn’t voice it outloud, both had suspicions that Eric showed up strategically after so long. Rooster hoped, he really hoped that the guy wouldn’t show up unannounced at the Hard Deck and try to talk to Bea because it’d be a terrible idea if he did so.

Not only because obviously he was dating Beatrice, but also because there would be other people out there who’d be less than welcome if he appeared. “Yeah…probably a coincidence.” he says after a while, even if he didn’t believe it, “Hopefully you won’t see him again.”

“I hope not.” she says, a soft smile on her face as she stretches her legs with a soft grunt, “But honestly I’m glad I was able to get rid of him so quickly, without Shells finding out…we’d probably be kicked out of that supermarket.” Her eyes follow Jolene when she is petted by a family, clearly happy with the attention before she zooms away again, disappearing from their view after a while by running after the other dogs.

Beatrice sighs happily, relieved of telling him about the encounter, the weight no longer on her shoulders. Now they could just enjoy the afternoon together without worries, just the two of them and Jolene who kept zooming all over the dog park without any plans of stopping. She looks back at Rooster, seeing he’s looking back to where Jolene disappeared, admiring the sharp lines of his jaw and neck, not being able to help herself when she gently runs her fingers on his scalp.

His reaction is immediate, his body tenses up and he inhales sharply, holding back a groan feeling her nails gently climbing all the way up to the crown of his head. He licks his lips, looking back at her through his sunglasses, seeing how her lips curved up in a little smile, “Baby.” he begins, “What are you doing?”

“I’m sorry,I couldn’t help it.” she says with a grin, “I was just admiring you.”

That was usually his line, that when used on him made his cheeks flush up just a bit, he tried to hide them from her view by looking away but she already noticed it. She leaned closer, pressing a soft kiss to his red cheek and smiling wider when he turned, kissing her right on the lips, “Admiring me,huh?” she nods, folding her arms on his shoulder to keep looking at him, “Do tell.”

Her eyes move all over his face for a second, the memories of Eric and his displeasing talk further away in the depths of her mind, “You are just so handsome.” she says in a whisper, “I love looking at you… is that weird?”

“No,” he chuckles, “Course not, because I love looking at you too.” he cups her chin to tilt her head up, bringing their lips together in a sweet kiss, one that once it breaks he moves his lips up to her nose. Their kissing is done when Jolene comes by, panting heavily and clearly spent from running around so much, she just flops herself on top of their laps and whines quietly.

“My poor baby,” Beatrice coos, scratching the back of the pitbull’s head, “You had a lot of fun, didn’t you?” Jolene just boofs quietly, her panting still going strong.

“Maybe we should go back,” Rooster suggests, gently patting Jolene’s pink stomach, “Give the little girl some rest, hm? Come on, Jo.” the pitbull whines louder, slowly rising to her paws and shaking herself, turning her head at the couple with her tail wagging, “There we go.”

They put the leash back on Jolene, taking her back to the Bronco where she immediately hopped inside and lay down on the backseat, sprawling herself there. Rooster and Beatrice get inside soon after, with the brunette looking back to Jolene, seeing she was already asleep, ‘She’s spent.” she smiles, leaning back to touch her front paw that partially dangled from the seat.

“She had a lot of fun, we’ve been here for…” he looks down to his watch, “Almost two hours. She spent a lot of energy.”

“Yeah… did you have dogs growing up?” she asks once she gets back on the seat.

“Yeah, I had one.” he smiles as he turns the car on, “I found him as a puppy at the bus stop when I was…eleven? I think. He was really skinny and it was getting really cold, so I put him inside my jacket and brought him home…my mom, she you know, I thought she’d be mad at me. But she wasn’t, she just took him from me and gave him a bath and told me to get meat scraps from the butcher shop since it was already late to buy him food.”

“Aw, Roos, that’s so sweet.” she says with a grin, “What was his name?”

“Balboa, yeah I know,I know,I am very creative.” he chuckles, “But really he was such an amazing dog. We took him to the vet the very first morning, gave him his shots and the vet said he was probably a Bernese mix and would get really big. Which he did.”

That dog was so massive his mother would move things out of the way whenever he passed and Bradley liked to use him as a horse when he was small enough to ride him. He was also the calmest dog that only barked whenever there was actual danger, like the time someone tried to rob the house and Balboa barked once, just once, and the guys ran off.

Balboa was always there for him when he’d come back home or…well, when he’d come home early because of something that happened at school. The first time he got home with a purple eye and bruised knuckles, Balboa sat with him on his bed as Bradley just sulked, the dog’s enormous head on his lap in hopes he’d calm him down.

“Since he was a mix I think the health issues Bernese dogs would have didn’t affect him a lot. We took him to the vet very few times, you know?” he says, still smiling, “Healthy as a bull and as big as one, my mom would say.”

“He sounds like a very sweet dog.”

“He was.” his smile falters a bit, “I was nineteen when he passed. From old age, no health problems thankfully. My mom and I decided to cremate him, which wasn’t something I thought it’d be available for dogs, tossing his ashes on the field he liked to lie on whenever we went on walks.”

Beatrice smiled sweetly, Bradley’s eyes glazed over with tears he didn’t shed, but he seemed happy when talking about the dog and the memories they shared together. “I’m sure he’d appreciate it.”

“Yeah,I think so too.” he says after a while, “Dumb question, but did you have dogs growing up?”

“Oh my god, yes,” she laughs, “Too many if you ask my mom. Most of them my dad found and brought home, very few were gifts from people who wanted to thank my dad for his good work. He always named them after food.” Bradley sent her a look, arching his eyebrow while smiling, “Yeah! Like, Jolene’s parents are named Pomodoro and Marinara. It’s a tradition he got from my nonna.”

“Your nonna had a lot of dogs?”

“She had a few, but only big ones. She grew up on a farm back in Sicily and they had these big shepherd dogs that’d roam the property. She had a Cane Corso when we were growing up,” she says, spreading her hands apart, ‘Huge dog, huge but a sweetheart to those she knew.”

“If your dad and your nonna named the dogs after food, what made you name Jolene…well,Jolene?”

Beatrice looked back at the sleeping pitbull, “Well,I like Dolly Parton and her fur is auburn, just like the song. It just worked.” she says with a small smile, “Plus I sang the song to her while nursing her back to health. She was the runt of the litter and I’d sit down with Marinara inside her little cot to take care of Jojo.”

He shouldn’t be surprised anymore, Beatrice was such a good person she would take time on making sure the runt of the litter would be okay. “You are so sweet.” he says, moving one hand away from the wheel to rub her cheek with his knuckles, “Of course you would take care of a little puppy like that.”

Beatrice blushed and he felt the warmth touch the back of his fingers. This was so nice, honestly what happened earlier that day seemed to have just slipped her mind, Bradley had that kind of power even if he didn’t know it and she was so thankful she couldn’t help but turn her head and kiss his knuckles.

Something that made him stop moving and look back at her with his mouth parted once they reached a traffic light, his cheeks regaining the flushed tone from earlier. She discovered that much like Bradley…she liked making him blush, quite a lot.

Malleus ponders why human make this toy so real. Lilia advice Malleus, Maybe it's enough to live forever as long as Malleus take care of it. It might be enough to live forever as long as we take care of it. Life is like a fairy tale, we won't know what Fate will take us to right or wrong path.

•After Lilia done chat with Malleus, he left him alone. Lilia reminder Malleus to don't forget to come his farewell party on Saturday. As for Malleus...he did murmured "Last, Celebrate seats?..."

•On Saturday, Everyone all NRC students gather around in Diasomnia Lounge on celebrate Farewell Party for Lilia. Lilia knows this is maybe a Goodbye Party , but he wanted to get more memories together with everyone.

Riddle did told Lilia that Silver and Sebek did well on Riding Horse skills perfect because of Lilia who thoughts them.

•Leona and Ruggie did wanted Lilia to stay in NRC a little longer until everyone graduate, especially Ruggie who's worried if Malleus will be mild-manners. Lilia told him if he try deal it on Malleus, Malleus definitely blow fire to them.

•Ruggie did whining at Leona that why they must leave so quick, Leona make excuses he didn't want to join "Soap Opera" party in Diasomnia dorm. While Ruggie saying it's waste of time if they didn't eat a lots for foo d in this big party. So Lilia tell Leona to relax and enjoy the food with everyone in here.

•Sebek and Silver did reminder Lilia that is he already send the envelope invitation to Malleus yet? Lilia already did but he also worried if Malleus forgot again.

•Azul did help Lilia on preparing luxury food party by Monstro Lounge, he said the ingredients used in today's dishes are all first-class products from the coral seas and first-class products imported from the land of sunshine.

•Lilia did mocking Azul that he remembered when Octavinelle also involves with Savanaclaw too. During Leona's cases Overblot side quest.

•Jade did ask questions to Lilia on how he can bonding so strong with Malleus? Lilia answer, "The Draconians were not

super fast-paced and stubborn, even more so than the Malleus. In comparison, Malleus is still cute." He means Malleus when he was a spoiler kid.

•As for Floyd, like usual, he hears that Lilia is strongest one and Floyd wanted do "wrestling" with Lilia. Kinda sad thou since Lilia is going to leave NRC soon. Lilia did murmured on Floyd ask why Lilia didn't want stay longer, "I didn't want everyone to see true me."

Summary: “I hate my life,” Noctis mumbles as he pushes his head out of the hoodie’s collar.

“You don’t mean that,” Gladio answers casually, watching him from the doorstep of his bedroom.

“But I do. It sucks.”

Noctis keeps rummaging through the huge bag lying on the carpet. He isn’t happy, and after all, it’s his right to feel so. He pushes a t-shirt aside and fishes a pair of pants from the very bottom - baggy, faded blue jeans. They feel soft under his fingers. He’s never worn anything faded in his life and he pulls them on.

“Stop sulking, princess. I know you haven’t been feeling your best lately, and that’s why we’re doing something about it.”

Noctis shrugs as he zips the pants and arranges his sweater over it. It all feels strange. A nice kind of strange, if he’s being honest.

“It’s not like we’re going to do anything exciting,” he still says, because his brain has decided to be sour today.

“Who cares? It’ll do for a change, and I dare you to look me in the eye and tell me that you wouldn’t do just about anything if it meant you got to walk around in that ridiculous getup.”

Noctis needs to touch some grass and Gladio knows exactly where to take him.

Summary: “I’m not an official Crownsguard yet though. I don’t know, I feel like I’d make a fool of myself. I’ve never done anything formal in my life. I mean, you guys were raised for this, I just don’t see how I’d fit in.”

Noctis kicked his chair leg. “Maybe I like that you don’t fit in. If you’re worried about the correct etiquette and stuff, we can teach you, but no one’s going to banish you for using the wrong fork.”

Prompto laughed. “Dude, don’t underestimate how bad I could mess this up.”

For the first time, Noctis was allowed to invite Prompto to attend one of the Citadel's biggest events. Despite being completely unprepared, Prompto agrees to go, if only for the chance to spend an evening with Noctis. There's a few problems though. One, he has nothing to wear. Two, he has no idea how to act in such a formal setting. Three...he was hopelessly in love with Noctis.

Gift For: Maniikoi

Rated: Teen (please mind the tags on Ao3)

Summary: Too much magic, they say. The entirety of Winter, solely under Noctis’ tenuous control. It’s difficult, not least of all because it isolates him, makes it impossible for other Gods to be around him, let alone anyone else.

At least Noctis doesn’t have to worry about the little caveat to his immortality. The only thing that can kill him is a broken heart—and being alone keeps him quite safe in that regard.

“Didn’t it hurt?” Noctis asks. “When you touched me.”

“No,”

Prompto says. “Should it?”

Noctis doesn’t know if it should, just that—

“It does everyone else,” Noctis says.

“Everyone?”

Prompto sucks in a deep breath and pushes it out long and slow. He doesn’t seem scared when he reaches for Noctis’ hand, doesn’t even hesitate to interlock their fingers, and press their palms together.

“There we go,” Prompto says softly. “To start making up for it.”

Gift For: sephirothflame

Rated: Teen (please mind the tags on Ao3)

Summary: He looked down at Noctis, unable to help the grin on his face as he watched Noctis’ grumpy expression. “What’s up, Noct?”

Noctis just groaned and thrust the paper at him, covering his eyes with his arm. Prompto took the paper, bemused. What could bother Noctis so much? He didn’t usually let the tabloids get to him.

“He’s upset because they say the Niff prince has surfaced again.” Gladio leaned on the kitchen counter, eyeing them while Ignis worked.

Prompto frowned as he skimmed the front page article. Everyone knew the story of the missing Niflheim prince. Right at the end of the war, as the Emperor was chasing down Besithia for his misdeeds, his youngest son went missing. Sentiment was generally split between believing the poor boy was dead or being hidden away for some future political purpose. Officially, he was listed as missing, and periodically someone would pop up claiming to have found him in order to collect the reward.

Prompto felt for the young prince, but he was selfishly glad he would probably never be found. He didn’t want Noctis to have to marry someone he’d never met. He didn’t want Noctis to marry anyone. Anyone not him, the traitorous voice in the back of his head whispered.

Summary: Fingernails scrape at the back of his neck, fingertips curl into his hair and pull, gently but with enough pressure for Prompto to get the message. The request to look, to share, to let those lines blur between them as they always have. The music in the loud, echoing halls of the citadel starts to rise again, to build and grow, and Prompto lets it crest over him and pull him under.

“It’s just I’m in—” he starts, but Noct closes almost all of the distance between them, face tilting, long tendrils of inky black hair hanging with the movement, nose brushing up against Prom’s own.

“I think I know, Prom. I hope I do. But don’t, not here.” The not with too many prying eyes, goes unsaid, enough that Prompto nods, understanding as he reads between the lines, and their lips start to brush, careful and close.

5 times Prompto and Noctis finally almost kiss after all these years dancing around one another, and the 1 time they finally do.

He loved the blond’s laugh, bright, bubbly giggles that filled the room with the most pleasant of sounds. He loved his best friend’s drive and determination, the can-do attitude that came across as condescending or stubborn to those who didn’t understand his years of borderline isolation and forced independence. He absolutely adored his eyes, blue with violet undertones that left him completely breathless when the light hit them just right.

Noctis had been caught by the blond completely, hook line and sinker, and could go on for eternity and a day about his affections for his friend (a particular form of torture he has discovered to be effective as an Ignis deterrent) but that didn’t stop him from having moments like this.

Gift For: KatrinaEagle

Rated: Teen (please mind the tags on Ao3)

Summary: Prompto is a clone. Every single part of him is a copy of someone else, from his face to his organs to his personality and what food he likes, probably.

Prompto sees in black and white. That’s normal for someone of his age, because statistically, most people don’t meet their soulmate until at least their twenties, and he’s only nineteen. But Prompto is pretty sure that he’ll never see in colour, because he’ll never have a soulmate. His logic is this: if he is a copy of someone else, then unless that person’s soulmate has a copy, how can he possibly have a soulmate himself? The original soulmate belongs to whoever the original of Prompto is.

The original of Prompto is Verstael Besithia. Whatever soulmate he has - Prompto thinks it might be that demented red-haired guy who got dug out of the ground like a fucking vampire - Prompto does not want them.

When Noctis pondered on his future spouse, he knew it would be an arranged marriage. It was a rare occasion when nobility married for love. Nonetheless, he had accepted the fact that he would share the rest of his life with a spouse he had little care for and could only hope he would grow to love them and vice versa.

He did not, however, expect his future spouse to be the prince of Niflheim.

Squad Leader Mom is pregnant!

MASTERLIST

Since all the baby incidents that had happened with you, Levi or the cadets, Levi and you had been thinking about having one of your own, but you never actually talked about it. Then one night, as you were reading before going to bed, Levi sat next to you on the couch ready to have that talk with you.

“Y/N.” Levi called your name seeing that you were not paying any attention to him.

“Hm?”

“I want to have–.” Levi started but then stopped.

“What’s wrong?” you asked worried, putting down your book.

“Remember when the kids were turned into children? We said that we would talk about having a kid. I want to talk about it now.” he told you staring at you. “If you want.” Levi quickly added.

“Oh right.” you said mumbled.

To be honest, since you joined the survey corps – having a baby never was an option for you. For Levi, having a child at all was never an option, but since he met you, he felt like anything could be possible.

“If you don’t want to, it’s fine too.” Levi said.

“I don’t know.” you admitted. “I loved having the cadets around. It was a lot of fun and I loved them as kids. But a new-born is different.” you paused. “I remember my neighbour; they had one and it was constantly crying and screaming. It looked exhausting. Also, what about my job here? I cannot– I… I can’t go on expeditions knowing that our child could become an orphan.”

“I would never let that happen.” Levi assured you, taking your hands. “I know our situation is not ideal, but can you imagine how great it would be to have a tiny version of us running around. I like that thought. That maybe one day, we could finally retire with our own little family.”

“It does sound nice.” you smiled fondly at Levi. “If that makes you happy, then ok.”

“Really? Because I don’t want to pressure you.”

“I’m sure. We’ll figure it out.”

The more you thought about it, the more you were sure about your decision. You had the possibility to give Levi another chance at having his own family and that was what made you certain of your choice. The next few months were spent in bed with Levi. It was intense – Levi was intense which resulted in making the both of you exhausted for trainings and expeditions.

Eight months into trying to get pregnant, yet there was still no baby in sight. Your doctor reassured you and said that getting pregnant is not an easy task.

You get easily sick during winter, so when a week before the expedition you started to feel nauseous, you just shrug it off. Which you instantly regretted the second you felt like passing out in front of a titan outside.

Eren from far away saw you falling from the sky and did not hesitate a second before transforming and running toward you. He caught you in time from hitting the ground and Mikasa from behind killed the titan that was ready to eat you.

“Mom?” Eren tried to wake you up once Mikasa got him out. “Mom, wake up please.” Eren cried.

Every squad were running toward where Eren transformed, not knowing why he did it. Levi and his squad were the first one who arrived.

“Eren!” Levi yelled at the boy but stopped when he saw you in his arms. A million questions were running through Levi’s mind. He could not move – he wanted to see if you were fine, yet his feet would not move toward you. What if he saw a wound, what if you were already dead?

“Captain,” Eren cried, “I– I saw her falling and I came. She’s not waking up!”

“What’s happening here?” Erwin finally arrived. “Levi wha–.” he asked the captain but stopped when he saw you. “Is she d–?”

“NO!” Eren yelled. “She can’t be, I– I caught her.”

“What happened then?” Erwin asked a member of you squad.

“We don’t know. We spotted a few titans, and we were all going to take care of them. Then – squad leader Y/N was just behind us!”

“She is still breathing.” Erwin checked your pulse. “Levi’s going to take her back, and the rest of us will continue the expedition. You can go too.” Erwin told the cadets.

Every other squads were leaving the scene. Erwin slowly approached Levi.

“She’s ok, you can go and take her back.”

“Ok.” Levi breathed.

Levi slowly approached where the cadets where and took you in his arms. Once you were back, Levi rushed you to the infirmary. The cadets were all patiently waiting outside the room. Every one of them was worried, but Eren was even more.

“What if it’s my fault?” Eren said.

“You saved her!” Mikasa protested.

“When I caught her, maybe I squeezed her without noticing?”

“She is fine.” Jean shouted.

Levi was sitting with them, silently. After just a few minutes of waiting, a doctor came out of the room. Everyone stood up hoping for good news.

“Y/N is doing great. She just needs to rest now.”

“Thank you!” Sasha shouted hugging the doctor.

“Is she waking up soon?” Jean asked.

“She should be up in a few hours top. But from now on she should stay here as the pregnancy is already three months in or something.” the doctor said before leaving for his office.

“The pregnancy?” Levi repeated confused.

“Mom’s pregnant?” Jean asked Levi.

“Mom’s pregnant!” they all shouted excited.

“We’re going to have a little brother or sister!” Connie burst excited.

While the cadets were shouting, Levi was still trying to process the news.

“D– Captain!” Jean quickly corrected himself. “Can we go in and see her?”

“She’s still sleeping, I’ll go and find you once she woke up.” Levi said entering the room alone.

Levi was sitting next to you, waiting patiently for you to wake up. An hour or two later, the cadets could not wait any longer and came into your room.

“Please, can we stay?” Sasha begged the captain.

“Fine, but shup your months.”

A few minutes after the kids came in, you finally woke up. Levi was the first to notice it. He quickly stood up and came near you.

“Y/N, are you feeling ok?” Levi asked.

“Water.” you grunted.

“I’ll get you a glass of water!” Armin volunteered.

After drinking the whole glass, you instantly felt better. You asked Levi what happened and when he explained to you that you fainted due to the pregnancy, you started to cry.

“Don’t cry. It is good right? We’re happy about this.” Levi asked.

“It’s happy tears.” You confirmed laughing slightly.

Levi then left to bring some food. The second Levi left, Eren came and hugged you. Then very quickly everyone else joined the hug.

“You scared us to death earlier.” Eren told you.

“I’m sorry I made you worried.”

When Erwin came back, Levi and you were waiting for him in his office.

“Y/N’s pregnant.” Levi announced it to the commander. “Obviously, she won’t be going to the next expeditions, right?”

“What? Congratulation!” Erwin shouted happily. “That’s really great news.”

“Erwin – the expeditions.”

“Right, of course. Y/N, you have to rest from now on.”

“But I can’t do nothing.” you protested. “I’ll get bored.”

“You’re pregnant.” Levi argued. “You just have to take care of you by staying here. Erwin agrees with me.”

“I–. Y/N if you want to go home and rest, you can.” Erwin agreed.

“I don’t. I’ll stay here and work with you on paperwork, I’ll do everything as usual except going on expedition.” you stated firmly.

Levi knew how stubborn you were, so he did not continue to argue. What mattered to him was that you were not going on expedition. After announcing the news to Erwin, Levi and you went to see Hange to tell them the news. The scream Hange uttered was so loud that Moblit came in running.

“What happened?” Moblit asked worried.

“Y/N is pregnant!” Hange shouted.

“Oh! Congratulation!” Moblit hugged you.

The next person to know about it was Mike, then soon enough the entire survey corps knew about it. After a few days, you decided it was time to go and tell your family about it. You proposed to Levi to come with you since he never met them.

“I’m busy.” Levi told you.

“It’ll just be a day.”

Your parents used to live inside of wall rose, but as your father’s business became more and more successful, they moved inside of wall Sina. You had a brother in the military too. You joined at the same time – he was a year older than you – he ended up being first and chose the military police brigade.

The next morning, you and Levi took a carriage to your home. Your parents made you and your brother promise to visit at least once a month, and you both decided to visit the first Sunday of every month – which was today. You knocked on the door and it was your mother who opened the door.

“It has been so long. Ah, and you must be Levi, right?” your mother welcomed you in.

“Yes.” Levi answered.

“Come in.”

“Your brother is not there yet.” your mom told you. “Do you want to drink something?”

“Tea please, black tea. For the both of us.” you told her.

“I feel uncomfortable here.” Levi whispered once your mother was gone.

“Let’s just tell them the news and then we can go.” you reassured him.

Your mother brought back the tea and she sat on the couch in front of where you were. Your father was nowhere to be seen – he was buying groceries at the market – and your brother was probably still sleeping.

“I heard a lot about you Levi.” you mother finally said.

“Levi’s very popular.” you answered seeing that Levi did not know what to say. “He is humanity’s strongest after all.”

“Good, then I know my daughter is safe beside you.”

“Y/N is strong, and she doesn’t need me to protect her.” Levi insisted, “But that does not mean I won’t do anything in my power to protect her of course.”

“That’s good to hear.” your mother smiled gently.

Just when you wanted to continue to talk, the front door opened, and your brother and father came in. You brother hugged you, then went to hug your mother.

“Captain Levi!” your brother burst out. “You have been going out with captain Levi this whole time?” he asked you.

“Yeah, don’t be jealous.”

“It’s an honour to meet you.” (Y/B/N) told the captain, ignoring you.

Levi quickly started to relax around your family, and you were all chatting together, talking about the military and what your day looked like. After a few hours of discussion, you still did not find the right moment to tell them about your pregnancy.

“When are you going to tell them?” Levi whispered to you.

“I don’t know how to, it feels weird.”

“Do you want me to tell them?”

“No, I’ll do it. I can do this.” you cleared your throat loudly to bring their attention to you and stood up. “I came with Levi today because we had something to tell you.”

“Yes?” your mother smiled.

“I am pregnant.” you announced with a big smile.

“Oh, my dear, that is wonderful!” your mother cried happily.

Your family congratulated the two of you and asked a ton of questions about when it happened, and what you planned to do once the baby arrived. After telling them that you were planning on staying at the survey corps after the baby came. You would probably be less involved, but you could not leave your second family. At night, after taking the extra food your mother had prepared, you left.

“Why aren’t you guys sleeping?” you said seeing the cadets at the entrance.

“We were waiting for you.” Armin said.

“Is that food for us?” Sasha asked excited.

“No.” Levi answered. “Y/N is tired, so leave.”

“I’m fine, I’ll take the food to the kitchen and we can eat this together tomorrow.” you told them. “You didn’t have to wait for me, you won’t be able to wake up tomorrow.” you warned them leaving with Levi.

—————

The first few weeks of the pregnancy were going well – you worked in the office with Levi mostly, but you would also help Hange with their paperwork. Being pregnant as a survey corps soldier meant being able to have extra food during meals, being able to skip cleaning duties. You could sleep in late in the morning and no one would say anything to you.

When your baby bump started to show and you could not fit into your pants anywhere, you would go around in either dresses or in Erwin’s pants that you cut so it would not be too long.

When you were seven months pregnant, Levi started to become more and more protective of you. He would not let you carry anything, not even your food tray. He forbad the cadets to come even near you knowing how reckless they were. Only Mikasa and Armin were allowed to come and help you. Which obviously upset the other cadets.

“But dad that’s so unfair! I want to help mom too!” Jean pleaded.

“Fine, Jean you can help.” Levi finally accepted only because Jean called him dad which was one of Levi’s weak spot.

“Me too then!” the others shouted which only made Levi walk away.

When you heard about it, you reassured them that it was ok for them to stay around you. Around that time, you also stopped wearing your shoes since you could not put them on, on your own. You walked around in your slippers all the time.

Nine months into the pregnancy and Levi never let you out of his sight. He would rest in bed with you the whole time.

“What do you want to name our baby?” you asked him one night.

“I don’t know. I didn’t think about it much.”

“I was thinking about naming her after your mother if it was a girl.”

“What?” Levi asked.

“If you don’t want to it’s fine too!” you quickly shrug it off. “It’s just–.”

“I’d like that. It’s a great idea.” Levi cut you, “I just thought… I didn’t think you would like that name.”

“Of course, I do! What if it’s a boy?”

You both brainstormed all the ideas you had before falling asleep.

You were outside with Levi during his training sessions with the cadets with a book. They were all taking a break, so you decided to join them, but when you stood up you felt something weird between your legs.

“Captain! Mom just peed herself!” Eren yelled panicking.

“Her water broke you idiot!” Sasha yelled at Eren.

Levi was definitely panicking like Eren, but he would not show it. You took a carriage with Levi direction your doctor’s house. After a few hours of labour, the baby was still inside of you.

“I can’t do that anymore.” you breathed heavily. “Just take it out!” you yelled, taking Levi hand in yours.

“It’s here, just push one last time.”

You let out a last scream and pushed as hard as you could before you heard cries.

The doctor cleaned then wrapped the baby in a blanket before giving it to Levi.

“Hello.” Levi whispered to his child.

“Is it a girl?” you asked weakly.

“It is.” Levi said looking into your eyes lovingly.

“That’s good.” you smiled when you heard a knock on the door.

“Hello.” Erwin came in with Hange and the cadets behind him. “They insisted on coming with us.”

“We bought you some flowers.” Connie handed you the bouquet.

“My favourite, thank you so much.” you teared up.

“You idiot you made her cry.” Sasha hit Connie behind the head.

“Mikasa’s the one you picked the flowers.” Connie defended himself.

“I love the flowers you guys. I’m just very tired and extra emotional.”

“Do we have a baby brother or sister?” Armin asked.

“You have a sister now.” Levi answered. “This is Kuchel.”

“Can I hold her?” Erwin asked.

“Well,” you started, “you are the godfather, of course you can.”

“Me too.” Hange exclaimed.

“You, maybe later.” Levi stated. “In a year or two, so when you drop her, she would be fine.”

“It happened once when you taught us how to hold babies.” Hange mumbled.

They were all around the new-born while Levi was laying down next to you, your head resting on his shoulder.

“You have the best mother in the world Kuchel, you’re so lucky.” Armin whispered to the baby.

—————

One night, at the boys’ dorm, a few months after Kuchel was born–

“Do you think it’s weird for us to call squad leader Y/N ‘mom’?” Eren asked. “Now that she has her own, real kid, what does that make us?” Eren continued. “We’re just a bunch of cadets again to her.”

“Why are you always thinking so negatively?” Jean sighed.

“They’re not our parents.” Eren stated sadly.

“Can you stop being so pessimistic for a minute?” Armin shouted. “She is the closest mother figure I had since I was a child, so stop this. Plus, it’s not like ever corrects us when we do. So just stop, please.”

You obviously noticed Eren’s attitude changing towards you – you tried to talk to him, but he kept avoiding you. You asked Armin and Mikasa about it and Armin just told you not to worry about it which was not possible.

One night, as Eren was taking a walk on the training grounds, you approached him silently.

“Are you ready to talk now?” you asked him. “And don’t even think about leaving before telling me.”

“I’m fine.” Eren said avoiding your gaze.

“Eren.”

“Squad leader Y/N.”

“Since when do you call me that?” you retorted.

“It is your name.”

“If there is something wrong, you can tell me. I’m always here if you want to talk.”

“You have a kid now; you can’t worry about me– about us.”

“What?” you asked confused. “Why not?”

“Because!” Eren yelled.

“Because what?” you kept your voice calm and low.

“Because you’re not my mother! And I’m not your kid. We’re just a bunch of soldiers.” Eren cried out. “You have a real kid now, there’s no need to play family anymore.”

“Is that what you think? Is that what you all think?” you asked but Eren did not answer, “Eren… I may not be your birth mother and I would never dare to replace yours, but you are family to me. You all are. Seeing you all calling me ‘mom’ is fine, if you see me as a mother figure – it’s fine. Because I see you all as my grown-up children.” you teared up. “And that’s not going to change with Kuchel around.”

“You haven’t been spending as much time with us as you used too.” Eren guessed hesitating.

“I haven’t been sleeping much to be honest. Kuchel is crying a lot at night. That does not mean I forgot about you. Or you guys.” you turned around finding the rest of the cadets hiding behind the pillars.

“We weren’t spying!” Jean said. “We just… happen to be there.”

“I’m sorry.” Eren apologise. “I’m a terr–.”

“You’re not. You’re amazing Eren.” you hugged him which resulted in all the other boys joining the hug.

From the window of Levi office, he could see you guys hugging.

“See Kuchel,” Levi pointed at you while holding his daughter, “They are weirdos.” he sighed. “Your mother loves them though. I find them tolerable. I guess you can see them as your older brothers and sisters. You’ll grow up with a big family which is great. I’m sure you’ll love them as much as your mother do.”

Levi would talk to your baby bump when you were asleep.

You would be often seen with vegetables in your hand – always eating them as snacks.

You would cry for absolutely no reason too. The first time it happened, Levi was worried sick. You had dropped your apple on the ground and started to cry. From then on, Levi would just hold you tightly until you stopped crying.

The first time it happened in from of Erwin was when he offered you a new baby blanket. He thought you did not like it, but Levi quickly reassured him that it was fine. “I– I– I looove it!” you sobbed.

The first time it happened in front of the trio – Armin, Eren and Mikasa – it was because Armin kept talking about what he read about baby stuff.

“I will be the best brother ever!” Armin promised with a big smile. “No, why are you crying?”

“This is too much for my heart!” you sobbed. “You are too sweet Armin!” you hugged him.

“I’ll be a good big brother too!” Eren said hugging you.

Mikasa from behind pushed Eren and Armin aside before taking you in her arms.

“You both made her cry, I did not. Obviously, I’m the better sibling here.”

When it happened with Connie, Sasha, and Jean –

Sasha and Connie were walking in front of you and Jean.

“This Sunday is a day off; I’ll probably go and buy something at the market with Connie and Sasha.” Jean told you, “Do you need anything?”

You tried not to let tears fall but it was too adorable for you.

“Mom! Why are you crying? I’m sorry!” Jean panicked.

“What did you do you idiot!” Connie slapped Jean on his shoulder.

“Mom don’t cry, please. Dad’s going to kill me when he’s going to find out.” Jean realised.

At the same time, Levi walked in.

“What’s going on?” Levi asked.

“Nothing!” Jean said hiding your face on his chest.

“Y/N?” Levi said. “Are you ok?” to which you only responded with a thumb up. “Are you crying again?”

“I didn’t do it on purpose!” Jean hesitated, “I’m sorry…”

“It’s fine.” Levi said, “she’s been crying a lot these days due to the pregnancy.”
