| MASTERLIST |

It's been a few days since Chris asked Dani out and they were a bit awkward still but only when they were alone. Today they were all hanging out with everyone and that included Sam and Colby, Tara, Jake, Johnnie, and Larry. Honestly, Dani didn't feel like joining but she had no choice since everyone was gonna be at the house for a while.

"You okay?" Nick sits next to her on the couch.

"Ehh, I don't wanna hangout with anyone really. My social battery is dead today." She gives him a smile.

"Well you need to recharge it because you know the type of people you're hanging out with later." He laughs at her so she gives him a look. "Also how are you and him doing?" He looks over in Chris's direction.

"Not as bad but still odd when alone. That's why I'm hanging around you or Matt to keep me busy. Give it a few more days and it will be over with." She tells him.

"You gonna tell Colby what happened?"

"Are you fucking crazy?" She says louder than expected so Matt and Chris look over at her. "Hey, mind your own business." She points her finger at them so they go back to whatever they were doing. "I will tell Sam though."

As it was getting closer to the time everyone was gonna show up, Dani didn't want to leave her room. She wanted to get as much time alone before chaos. "Why are you taking my place as the non-social one?" Matt enters her room, "The night will fly by. Here for a bit, dinner, and then Top Golf."

"I think you keep forgetting the main reason I hate this."

"Colby." He knew exactly why.

"You know he hated that I stayed home with you for Tara's party, right. Nick told him we just spent all night in your bed watching Netflix. So I woke up the next morning to so many texts asking what the fuck. His mind automatically went to inappropriate things. He didn't even believe me right away."

"What! He didn't believe you? I get he's a protective big brother but come on. That's a bit much." He sits on her bed dumbfounded.

"Yep, you gotta blame my ex for how Colby is."

"But to not trust you and go overboard on his protectiveness? Dani, you need to tell him how you feel about that. Don't just deal with it because he's your brother." He tells her but she shakes her head. Matt goes to speak again but the doorbell goes off. They both look at each other till they hear it was Sam and Colby.

"Get, and you're in my room with the door shut." Dani gets up going to the door, "Let's get this over with." She opens it and sees Colby was gonna knock.

"Matt." He looks around Dani over at Matt on her bed.

"Colby." He waves.

Dani walks past Colby and grabs Sam upstairs dragging him to the bathroom so they can be alone and talk. "Hello to you too." He laughs as she locks the door.

"When my parents came to visit, Chris asked me out and I told I didn't feel the same. You know,  we didn't go over that what if." She lets him know.

"Chris asked you out?"

"In front of my parents, Sam." She whispers yells, "If Chris liked me then there's no way Matt does."

"Why do you say that?"

"Isn't there like a bro code or something especially between brothers?" She asks him.

Sam shrugs his shoulders, "I don't know if they have bro codes. Just ask Nick or something."

"Oh, speaking of Nick. I forgot to tell you. When I got back after my weekend with you, I slipped that I have a thing for Matt. So you and him know." Dani adds.

"And what did he say? Did he give you any hints?" Sam gets a bit excited wanting to know.

"Just that he will keep the secret."

Sam makes a face, "Some best friend he is. He was no help. Isn't he supposed to have your back too?"

They stopped talking as there was a knock at the bathroom door, "What's going on in there?" Colby asks them.

Dani opens the door, "Can I seriously not just have a conversation with someone in peace?" She groans walking past Colby again going back to her room.

When everyone else shows up, Dani was still in her room. She was debating telling everyone she was gonna stay home and wish everyone a good night. Again, she just wasn't in the mood already and Colby just made it worse for her.

"Dani's home, right?" Tara asks everyone still confused why she hasn't seen her.

"She's in her room." Colby tells her.

"Thanks to you." Matt says then catches he said it out loud, "I'll check on her." Matt gets up but Colby does too.

"Don't sweat it. She's my sister and it's my fault apparently."

Tara watches the two give each other a look, "I'll do it since I'm the only other girl here." She gets up going to Dani's room shaking her head at the two. "Can I come in?" Tara knocks on the door then goes in as Dani says yeah. "Are you really in here because of Colby?"

"Who said that?" Dani puts her phone down next to her.

"Matt slipped." She walks over to the bed, "Colby seems to still have a main problem with just him. Wanna talk about it?" Tara sits down.

"Just Colby being an overly protective brother, who hates my friendship with Matt."

"Well, he needs to get over it because I don't see you two ever not being close. I do see y'all getting closer at some point, if you know what I mean." Tara gives her a smile, "You two like each other anyone could see that. If not, they're fucking blind to the truth. He cares about you." She laughs, "He threw Colby under the bus to his face on accident." She laughs more.

"I know and that's why I like him so much." Dani gives Tara a look, "You and Sam both say he likes me too but I don't wanna risk it. And I don't want him getting more crap from Colby if he does feel the same too."

"Danielle, Jake and I dated forever and we are still great friends. Don't be scared to try and fuck Colby. It's your happiness and relationship. Not his." Tara grabs her hand, "Now, we're leaving in a few for dinner. And I want to get a in person read on Matt instead through an edited YouTube video so you're changing." Tara jumps up rushing over to the closet since Dani was just in an oversized shirt.

"Are you serious, Tara?"

"Yep." She looks back with a big smile.

Once Dani was dressed Tara eyes her up and down, "You're boobs have grown."

"Yes, I wish it was my height instead. Now let's just go. I want this night over with." Dani opens her door for Tara to go first.

"And this is why you send a girl to do girl work." Tara smiles joining the others as Dani follows behind. "She's ready to go now." Tara smiles back at Dani in view now.

"Tara, do me a favor and stop yapping."

"Why change clothes?" Colby asks so Tara speaks up for Dani.

"Because she looked terrible so I picked a new outfit for her. No wonder why she didn't want to leave the house."

At dinner Dani didn't chat much or wasn't on her phone either like the others were as well. She still wanted to be home in her bed watching tv. Tara, Sam, and Nick tried their best to get Dani to cheer up but they weren't doing it for her. She appreciated them though and would thank them for trying. Then at Top Golf Dani wasn't gonna play but sit and cheer the others on.

"You're upsetting me." Matt sits next to her. He hadn't really chatted with since everyone arrived at their house. Even at dinner Colby got them seated far away from each other.

"Why?" She asks confused.

"You aren't yourself right now."

"You know the anti social me, Matt. This isn't new to you." She rolls her eyes a bit.

Matt sighs looking over at Colby take his turn before looking back at her, "That's not just it though." He gets her to look at him, "You're hurting on the inside as well right now."

Her eyes start to get watery and her lower lip quivers a bit, "I gotta use the bathroom." She lies getting up speed walking away wiping her tears away.

Matt doesn't waste a second getting up and following her. He knew that was just bullshit to get away from everyone. As the two left Sam, Nick, and Tara share a look as they look away from where the two went.

"I gotta spy, sorry." Tara gets up quickly.

"I gotta see if he has the magic touch." Sam gets up as well.

"Guys!" Nick sees the other five look over at them, "Nothing to worry about. We'll be back." He tells them before going after the two.

When Matt gets to Dani he stops her from entering the bathroom, "Hey." He walks them away a bit to where they were alone.

"Why must you know me so fucking well? Huh, Matthew?" Tears fall from her eyes, "More than my own fucking brother. I hate that. I really do."

"Full first name, okay." He chuckles, "That hurt a bit." He laughs more and it makes her giggle a bit, "There's that smile. I haven't seen it all day." He tilts his head to the side a bit while leaning down a little to her height.

She quickly stops the little smile she had, "Stop it. I'm not gonna do it again."

"Wanna bet? You know I have my ways at getting things I want." He gives her a big smile, "I'll let Mr. Wrinkleton spend the night with you." He gets her to smile again, "We don't have to talk about it but I have one request from you."

"And what's that?" She sighs wiping her tears away.

"You love when we come here alone so try to have some fun before we go home." He puts his hand out to her. Dani nods her head taking his head to go back with him.

"Go, go, go, go!" The three spying on them quickly rush back to join the others and act normal.

[avkizi]

its combo time bc ive had finals for so mf long and had no time so m doing all these in one post!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⌗ 𝟏𝟐. ornaments ; what are some objects you have in your dr that you don’t in your cr? why do you have them in your dr?

staff (toh dr): my staff and palisman in my toh dr!!! his name is naos he is a fucking idiot and i love him very much. orange cat vibes all around. chill guy a solid top 10 object ever.

necklace (h2o dr): my lil h2o necklace, the seal charm is a dr modification, pretty much i can communicate with seals n other pinnipeds. i wanted one of those necklaces so so bad as a kid and now i have one!!!! and i match with my friends!!!! aka the people in the show and we are actually mermaids!!! (kid me would genuinley have an aneurysm)

throwing knives (pjo/hoo dr): my godly weapon of choice in my dr, pretty useful for quests, very effective for killing monsters. also very pretty. and sharp.

wand (marauders dr): my wand!!! she is sycamore wood, phoenix feather core, 11 inches, and swishy flexible. literally so sick i can DO MAGIC!!!! but yeah

reading glasses + case (future coraline dr): what can i say i am a sucker for cute glasses and these ones are so adorable. they r vintage, and i mostly use them for tattooing, reading (obv) and sewing. the case is thrifted and forever one of my favorite finds.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⌗ 𝟏𝟑. sleigh bells ; are there any priveleges you have in your dr that you don’t in your cr? what are they?

answering for my mha dr here, bc holy shit there are so many. for one i go to U fucking A on reccommendation bc my brother is a top hero. i get a lot of free shit from companies for sponsorships, especially clothes companies for wing or mutant quirk users. also, my quirk is really useful in day-to-day life, seeing as i don't need a car or anything bc i can fly, and if i do need transportation i get flown/transported to places usually for free. i get invited to so much shit its crazy, ex: the i island expo, even tho we got attacked it was still really cool to get to experience everything.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⌗ 𝟏𝟒. cookie cutters ; what are some smells that remind you of your dr? why?

i live in/am near the pnw or other rainy places for a lot of my drs, so that really specific smell of rain or the beach always kinda makes me think of those drs. mango and peach scents also remind me of my fame dr specifically, because it's my signature scent there.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⌗ 𝟏𝟓. elf on the shelf ; who is your main wingman/women/person? what is your dynamic? What do you guys do when you hang out?

100% gotta be sam & colby in my paranormal investigator dr, those fuckers are like my brothers and had my back ALWAYS. also honorable mentions to coraline in my future coraline dr for helping me rizz up her best friend and helping me with figuring out his oblivious ass <3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⌗ 𝟏𝟔. wrapping paper ; what is your favorite way to script? why is it your favorite way?

honestly, putting on some sort of media or audio that reminds me of my dr (think shows, movies, video essays/analysis, or a sub/playlist), a snack or sweet treat, a bigass glass of ice water, and some mood lighting and i am all set. locked tf in, so so connected to my dr i can almost feel it. bonus points if i'm scripting for one of my more summery drs and i'm sitting on my porch (i live near a beach) so i can smell the air shit got me kicking my feet and giggling fr.

a C.B fanfic (I was bored 🤷🏻‍♀️ so why not also this story doesn’t have a name so if you wanna help me name it comment some name ideas 🫶🏻)

Selecia’s pov

“Jade we should go to New York!!!” I say to my best friend jade, i met her when I moved out here we live in the same apartment complex and there’s a rumor there’s a celebrity staying here but no one has ever seen them, and I heard her talking about it one day I asked her about it and we kinda clicked.

J- why?

S- uh I just seen on sams story that him and Colby are in New York!!!

J- so you want to fly alllllllll the way to New York even though you’re afraid of heights to meet Sam and Colby?!

S- yes!!!!!

J- there is something wrong with you!

S- yea I know start packing

J- ughhhh

S- plus we can walk around Times Square it’s so fucking pretty, and I believe there’s a few musicals there right now, we could go to a broadway show, see jade and I also bonded because we’re theater kids, I was in theater in high school and so was she and when I told her that, that’s when she declared us best friends.

J- you’re so right?! Oh my god

Jade gets up and sprints to her apartment which is only like 2 doors down from me, now to come to thing of it I never see my neighbor or neighbors, what if oh my god?! Maybe we live next door to the mystery celebrity?!! ( what the fuck am gonna go all like Fucking fbi for some shit Lmfaooooo 😭, anyways back to the story)

Jade returns a few minutes later with her suitcase packed and passport in hand, i laugh watching her struggle with her suitcase.

J- this isn’t funny?!

S- yes it is *laughs*

J- I hate you

S- you love me *laughs* especially since I just paid for a private jet to take us to New York!!!!

J- what?! No way?!

S- yup and apparently there’s gonna be only one other person on the plane because they booked it first and it was the only one they had *laughs*

J- ouuu mystery personnnnn

S- yea *laughs* speaking of do you ever seen person next door to us or people I don’t know

J- no why, oh my god I know what your thinking and I like it

S- oh my god I’m so glad you get it *laughs*

J- but how would we figure it out *laughs*

S- I don’t know *laughs* but keep it down

J- right *laughs*

S- I can’t with you now help me finish packing, we leave soon

J- okay

She puts on music and she helps me finish packing and once we’re done, I change into something a little more comfortable and put my hair in a messy bun.

J- you look so cuteee

S- thanks *smiles*

J- alright is the Uber here yet?

S- uh yes, he just arrived *smiles*

J- alright lets goooo New York City here we come

S- yesssss

J- I’m gonna be hungover, I’m gonna be hungover

S- I’m gonna drink a bunch of different drinks and I’m gonna hungover

Jade and I sing walk out of our apartment, we laugh and get on the elevator and it takes us to lobby and we walk outside and head to our Uber which take us to the private jet airport.

We get to the airport and walk over to the jet that’s when I notice a black suv parked off to the side behind us almost, the guys steps out and as soon as I see his face I drop to the ground and sob.

J- dude are you okay?

S- code mendes

Sh- why are you guys going to New York?

Shawn asks as we walk towards the plane

S- we’re tracking down our favorite YouTubers Sam and Colby they are somewhere in New York right now and we’re gonna find them

Sh- and what are you gonna tell them when you find them and they ask you why you’re in New York

J- girls trip duh

Sh- *laughs* you’re hilarious I love you

S- awe thanks I love you too Shawn

We’re standing by the plane and waiting for the pilot to let us on, a few seconds later the doors over and steps come out and we get on and they put our luggage a wake except for our purses.

S- wow this jet is niceeee

Sh- yea it is

S- ouuu lookkkk it’s got champagne

J- oh yes thank you Jesus

S-*laughs*

We sit down and I pull one my favorite books at the moment, I just bought it it’s called girls like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko, I open to wear I left off and I start reading, halfway through my 3rd or 4th page I look up to see Shawn sitting in front of me.

S- hey what’s up, why are just sitting there

Sh- I like watching you read it’s fascinating

S- you’re weird, how is it fascinating?

Sh- I don’t know it just is *laughs*

S- whatever

I roll my eyes and go back to the book.

Sh- what are you reading?

S- girls like girls by Hayley Kiyoko

Sh- oh I have a copy of that book she sent it to me

Sh- no is it good?

S- you are such a smartass mendes

Sh- what?!

S- I know what you’re doing

Sh- and what is that exactly?

S- I asked you to stop staring at me reading so you go on your phone and periodically look up at me

Sh- I did no such think?!

S- of course you don’t

J- you two fight like fucking children shut up I’m trying to take a nap

J- thank you now I’m gonna take a nap now you two do not speak to each other at all

S- got it

Sh- fine, I’ll miss you bestie

S- oh my god Shawn *laughs* I’ll miss you too

He laughs but doesn’t say anything else and I continue you reading then once I’m done reading i look out the window and and listen to music.

The plane finally lands and we get off and we Uber to the hotel and once we get there I decide to walk to the gas station we passed on the way here and get us snacks and drinks, I put my headphones in and grab my wallet and I head out the door.

I’m walking to the store and listening to music and singing along, when I notice two guys and a girl heading in the direction as me but on the other side of the street, I recognize them instantly oh my god?! It’s Sam, Kat and Colby!!!!

They are all laughing and talking and when they are about to cross the road Colby runs across the road screaming “oh goodddddd dontttt hittttt meeeeeeee” and it causes me to laugh and I guess he heard me cause he turned his head and smiled

C- you seen that?

S- yea *laughs*

C- awh man i embarrassed myself in front of a pretty girl damn *laughs*

Place your guesses here: Boy or girl? - to my friends who know, zip it lol

*Leighton's POV*

"Do you think this is stupid?" I worried, Colby and I leaving the arts and crafts store with three different bags of supplies, a white canvas under Colby's arm.

"Leighton, I think they'll leave it no matter what we do. They're finding out if our baby is a boy or a girl" 

"I know, I know! I just, I don't want it to be dumb, ya know?"

"It's not dumb Leighton" He eased, slipping the canvas into the back seat, taking the bags from me. "I think everyone will be excited. I don't know why you're so worried"

"I don't know. I just want it all to be perfect. I want Gemma to enjoy it and be excited and I'm nervous as fuck for your parents to be there. I mean, everyone is finding out at the same time that I'm pregnant, and what the gender is. That's a lot to digest in one afternoon"

"I can't believe we're trusting April with this" Colby chuckled, looking over his shoulder as he reversed.

"I know. She was losing her mind last night on the phone, telling me I needed to come to her house immediately so she could tear open this piece of paper. I still can't believe that I could just like, flip it open and see, ya know? Like our baby's gender reveal is sitting in my bag. That's fucking wild"

We arrived at April and Kevin's home, April sprinting out the door before we even had our seatbelts off.

"GIVE ME IT!" She yelled, her hands slapping the window on Colby's side, both of us laughing as we got out, April's eyes wide as she looked between the two of us.

"You're not allowed to look till we're gone! I don't want to hear or see your reaction!" I warned, April glaring.

"You can't do that to me!"

"Yes I can! It's my baby!" I laughed, helping Colby grab the stuff.

"God, you guys weren't kidding when you said you bought a bunch of stuff"

"I had a vision!"

We entered her backyard, Colby filming on his phone as I laid the canvas down, going through the bag, showing April what we got.

"So I thought we could use these" I showed her the balloons, "and like we fill them with paint and then pop them on the canvas? It be like the correct colors or whatever" I showed her the different paints we got, "And I thought about using like tape or something on the canvas and put like Brock or something? Something more personal? I thought we could test it out and if it didn't work, just scrape that all together" I giggled, letting her dig through the supplies we got.

"Tell the camera what we're doing Leighton" Colby spoke up, getting me to look over my shoulder, seeing his phone pointed at me.

"I'm showing April my idea for the gender reveal" I smiled, starting to get giddy at the fact that we'll know soon.

"I can't believe you're having my baby" he teased, a smirk on his face behind the phone.

"Shut up" I laughed, turning back to focus on the project.

~

"God I'm shitting bricks" I let out a breathy laugh, knowing our guests are going to be here soon.

"I just can't believe you got everyone to come. I mean, Colby's family is flying in, and Sam and Kat are coming" Cynthia noted and I nodded, both of us helping April set up the party.

People started trickling into the house, a few questioning why the windows to the back yard were covered, no one questioning why I was wearing a 3XL hoodie that covered my dress, and bump.

Logan and Sam helped my dad get my mom downstairs in her wheelchair, Landon holding the oxygen tank, mixed feelings bouncing around in my chest as she came into my line of sight.

I was happy to see her here, to be involved, to see her... upright, but it also saddened me to see her just look soo.. lifeless? Fragile? Like with one wrong move, it was over.

I felt a hand grasp mine, causing me to jump, our two hands intertwining as I looked over, seeing Colby was next to me, a sympathetic lazy smile on his face as he squeezed my hand, mouthing "You alright?" to which I nodded.

"Do you think Lexi will show?" I asked quietly, watching Gemma and Harper mess around with Landon and Finley.

"I hope so, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Don't let her ruin your day though, okay?" 

I nodded, Gemma running up to us, Colby picking her up, "How is my Gem Gem?" He asked, a big smile shining on her face.

"Good!"

"Yeah? Are you excited for the party? Excited to see your uncles and cousins?" He asked, Gemma nodding, my hand pulling out my phone to take a photo of them.

"Can you smile for me G?" I asked, Gemma grinning, Colby kissing her cheek as I snapped the photo, snapping another when Gemma started to giggle as Colby messed with her, placing endless kisses on her face.

"Stop!" She squealed, wiggling against his grasp, "Coco!"

"What's the magic word?" He asked, Gemma's adorable laughter catching our friends and families attention, the smile on my face growing as my cheeks tightened.

"Peas!" She begged, Colby shaking his head as Harper came over to try and help, jumping up towards Gemma and Colby before tugging on his shirt, demanding that he put Gemma down.

"Say I love you" He demanded, everyone laughing, both of us knowing Gemma was quite the ham for attention.

"I wuv you!" She giggled, Colby flipping her upside down as her tickled her, his arm staying around her stomach, "I can't hear you"

"I LOOOVE YOU COOOCOOO!" She squealed, catching her breath as Colby turned her right side up again, kissing her cheek, "I love you too Gemma" before setting her down, Gemma running over to me.

"Momma!" She panted, "Coco mean!" 

"He can't be that mean if you've got a big smile on your face, bug" I teased, carefully squatting down, praying to god I didn't pee myself. "But if your feelings are hurt, go tell him" I nodded towards Colby who was now talking to Sam, his body slightly tense as his eyebrows furrowed.

I watched Gemma toddle over to Colby, his little finger stabbing him repetitively in his side, catching his attention; his eyes looking down at her as her arms crossed, there quick exchange ending in a hug and a kiss before Gemma ran back over to me; my brain using every ounce of willpower it could find to keep my arms at my side, and not caress my fluttering stomach.

"Momma!"

"Yes, baby?" I answered, this time not crouching, generally afraid of the baby pressing too hard against my bladder.

"Coco say.. say sworry!" She giggled, her face full of pride and glee.

"He did?" I played along, my eyes flickering between my daughter and my fiancé.

"Yes!"

"I'm so proud of you Gemma Lorraine" I smiled down at her, her beautiful little face reminding me far too much of my own.

Her fathers eyes twinkled bright, but her smile shined just like mine and I swore our smiles were identical to my mothers.

I took a deep breath, my hand brushing her baby hairs out of her face before she ran off to go play with Harper; my eyes glancing back over to where Colby was, only to see that he wasn't there anymore. 

"Hey sis" I heard behind me, my head whipping around quicker than I intended, Logan chuckling when I winced, my hand coming out to smack him.

"Stop doing that!"

"I didn't do anything" he laughed, pulling me into a hug, carefully giving me his big brother hug, gasping when I smacked him on the back of the head. "What the hell, Leighton!"

"You're a dick" I laughed, shoving him away from me, "And you can't hit me back because I'm.... pregnant" I whispered, checking to make sure no one was paying attention. "Now stop scaring the shit out of me every time I see you. You're going to make me pee myself" 

"You didn't even jump!" He defended himself, his eyes crinkling as we grinned at each other. 

"I didn't have to jump to still smack you, you're still an asshole"

"I'm your favorite asshole though" he shot back, both of us grimacing at the way it sounded, "You know what—"

"Actually" I heard behind me, a hand sneaking up on my waist, pulling me into their hold, "I'm her favorite asshole" he murmured against my ear.

Logan was flabbergasted, "Now why didn't you smack him?!"

"Because she loves me" Colby smirked, my hand pinching the sink on his waist, Colby jumping slightly, looking down at me, "You're both equally annoying" I grumbled, moving out of his hold, Colby quickly grabbing my hand, keeping me hostage, "Where are you going?"

My eyebrows raised, "The love of your life has to pee" Colby let go of me and I quickened my pace down the hall, locking myself in the bathroom, practically tripping over my own feet in the rush.

"You've got to stop leaning on my bladder, bubs" I quietly griped, still feeling unstratified as my dress fell down against my thighs, the sound of someone knocking getting drowned out by the toilet flushing. "One sec!"

"It's just me" Colby announced, my fingers quickly pushing in the lock, allowing him to twist open the door as I washed my hands, carefully closing the door behind him, locking it again. "You alright?"

"Mhm"

"You've been in here a while"

"What if I had to poop, huh?"

"This is not your pooping bathroom. It's too public" He snickered, my jaw dropping.

"What does that mean!"

"It means if you had to poop you would've gone upstairs" He chuckled.

"I told you I had to pee"

"When would you ever tell me you had to poop?" He asked, passing me the towel.

 "When it's an emergency"

I ignored his stifled laughter, snatching the oversized hoodie off the counter.

"I can't believe we're telling everyone today"

"I know. Do you think your mom is going to hate me more?" 

"She doesn't hate you, Leighton"

"Well she doesn't love me. I don't buy the nice act. I'd place my bet on the fact that this whole buddy buddy thing is for you. I'm pretty sure if you weren't here, she wouldn't be coming"

"Well, you are having my baby, Leigh"

"That's not the point" I huffed, double checking that my bump was hidden, Colby quickly on my trail to the living room, Katrina being the first new face I spotted.

"Hey!" I greeted, attempting to give my best friendly smile, Colby slipping past us back over towards Sam.

"Hey" She smiled, the awkwardness being enough to make me wish I hadn't said anything.

"Thank you for coming" I smiled, my hands hiding in the sleeve of my hoodie, balling the extra material in my palms.

"Anything for Colby" She passed a tight smile, my lips pursing as I nodded.

"Alight, well uh, I should um.." I pointed back towards my family, Katrina nodding.

God that was awkward.

I mingled for a bit, silently hoping the quietness of the children wouldn't end in destruction.

"Leighton, babe, are you ready?" Colby questioned, eyeing down towards my stomach.

"Your parents?" I mouthed, Colby nodding over towards Sam.

I spotted his brother, his brothers' girlfriend and his parents, confusion washing over my face.

Are they ignoring me too, or is that just something my brain is making up out of insecurity?

"Yeah, I'm ready" I sighed, Colby grabbing my hand, leading me towards the patio door, clearing his throat.

"Hey everyone!" he started, the volume of his voice making heads turn, "I just uh, wanted to tell everyone how much Leighton and I appreciate you showing up, especially on such short notice" I nodded, a smile plastered on my face as the nerves ate away at me. "I'm sure you've gathered that this isn't just a get together" He chuckled, a few people following suit, "Leighton and I actually have been meaning to tell you something" he led on, my eyes immediately finding the most supportive faces I could.

My dad, the small smile on his face as memories flooded through of him finding out, and then Cynthia, and the wave of emotion that brought upon me, Logan right next to her... April, how excited she was to do this whole party. To be involved. 

My eyes scanned the room, catching all of my biggest shoulders to lean on, but there was someone missing.

"Leighton?" Colby nudged, my eyes filling with tears as my smile waivered.

"Colby and I are uh.. um, expecting" I stuttered, the tears threatening to fall as I lifted the hoodie, showing off my beautiful baby's bump.

I scanned the rooms as faces lit up, cheers were let out and people began to huddle closer, hurdling a thousand questions to both of us, passing on congratulations and how they expected this to happen, and yet the person I really wanted by my side wasn't here.

I mindlessly answered the due date question, how my pregnancy has been, when we found out and even how both of us reacted to finding out before excusing myself, throwing the hoodie to the side and rushing back off to the bathroom, carefully falling to my knees as I emptied my stomach.

Tears streamed down my face as I exhaled, leaning back against the cabinets, listening to the flush cycle through.

I don't know how long I sat here, messing up my makeup until the lock clicked open, my eyes squeezed shut, not ready for Colby's reprimanding of leaving my own party.

"Hey" A soft voice surprised me, my eyes popping open as streaks of light continued to hinder my vision, "What's wrong? Everyone's excited" She said, taking a seat next to me.

"What are you doing in here? You don't have to do this" I sighed, wiping under my eyes, not wanting Katrina's pity right now.

"I know" She stated, her shoulder brushing against mine.

My eyes rolled, snatching the toilet paper roll in hope of saving some of my makeup and not looking like a girl the morning after.

Kat sighed, "Why are you hiding out?"

"I'm not hiding"

"Oh, so this isn't looking like that time in the bowling alley?" She joked, the room falling quiet.

"I'm alright. You didn't have to check up on me. I know you aren't my biggest fan—"

"I never said that"

"You don't have to Kat, and it's okay. I don't have to be everyone's friend. It's fine, I just, I don't want your pity either. For whatever reason you're here.. you don't have to be" 

I struggled to push myself up, hesitantly accepting Kat's help, the two of us staying silent as we walked back out to the party, Colby's eyes meeting mine, the room having cleared out; everyone in the backyard.

"What's wrong?" He asked and I shrugged, offering a pity smile, stepping into the backyard.

I found my best actress smile, mingling until it became time to find out what April and I have been waiting for only for Colby to pull me away.

"Leighton, why do you look like a beaten puppy? What happened? People are starting to notice, and I know that's not a big deal, but this should be a happy day. We're finding out our baby's gender!—"

"Gender doesn't even mean anything" I grumbled, snatching a cupcake off the table, undoing the wrapping and taking a bite.

"Yes, of course, we will love that baby no matter what, but it helps us figure out a name" He continued.

"We can name it anything" I huffed.

"I'm just going to stay quiet now" He noted, ignoring my glare as I grabbed another cupcake. "Are we just going to angrily eat cupcakes now or can we talk about why you were crying in the bathroom?"

"Is it that obvious?" 

"Your mascara is a little smudged"

"Shit!" I pulled out my phone, fumbling to open my camera, "I look like shit, Colby!"

"You don't look like shit"

"Shut up" I grumbled, shoving my cupcake at him, "Hold this" before scurrying away to fix my makeup.

I wiped off the smudged disaster, carefully reapplying a hopefully even coat only to be met by Colby again.

"Talk to me, please" he begged, "You're always telling me to communicate-" I shot him a glare, "So please, communicate with me, Leighton"

"Not the time. I need to plaster a happy smile on my face and go find out if we're having a mr or misses Brock"

"Please"

"It's not going to fix anything"

"At least tell me what it's about. Is this still about Lexi?" He asked and I shook my head, "Your mom?" he guessed again, my obvious glare making him continue, "Gabe? Come on, Leigh. Tell me"

"It's Aaliyah" I caved.

"Oh"

"Yeah oh" 

"Have you talked to her since you kicked her out?" He asked, throwing away the mascara covered makeup wipes.

"I've tried to. I wanted to apologize for my actions. Make it up to her, yet I got nothing in return and I'm pissed off that she won't talk to me, and It's my fault and I know that. I do. I know I fucked it up and I know that she was right.. but.. did I mess it up this fucking bad? So bad that she won't show up to my gender reveal party? How was that worse than picking me up from jail? I mean, I know we've both had our moments and shit happens, but it's always water under the bridge. It's always been okay after a little while"

"How about we go see her tomorrow? Tell her the good news, let you guys talk? I know it doesn't fix her not being here now, and I'm sorry that her absence is causing you pain and sadness, but don't let one person's grudge hold back your happiness. It's supposed to be a good day, baby. Gemma's going to tell us if it's a girl or a boy and we can go from there. Whether it be the most beautiful unisex name and nursery and upbringing, or the more basic bitch name that they'll get teased for at school.. this is our baby. Our pride and joy. A piece of our family, and I want to share this joyous moment with you. With our friends and family, our daughter. Please, let's just take a deep breath and go enjoy our day, okay?" He suggested, bringing my knuckles up to his chapped lips.

"Okay"

~

"Are you excited, G?" Colby asked, squatting behind her as we handed her the water balloon full of paint, the canvas propped up by a child size easel, a white tarp covering the fence and grass, creating what will hopefully be a stress free clean up. "You know what to do, right? Just throw this at the white board" He pointed, Gemma nodding, giggling as she messed with the water balloon, the small amount of water and paint shaking up in the black balloon.

"Cameras rolling, right?" I called out, knowing Sam was recording and April was taking photos.

"We're rolling!" He called back out and I nodded, shaking the jitters out of my hands.

We're going to know within seconds.

Blue or pink paint in that balloon changes our entire life.

Was it basic bitch colors? Yes. But it was easy, and Gemma knew what it meant, so fuck everyone else. I'll love my baby no matter what it wants to be, no matter if it's got Colby's shitty communication issues, or my crappy drug issues, or our so called gay gene as Colby puts it, this is my baby and whether it's porn with a penis or vagina, it's part of our family-

"Leighton!" Colby's fairly loud voice shook my thoughts.

"What?"

"Ready?"

"Ready" I nodded, grabbing my own paint filled balloon, Sam stood behind the canvas, capturing our reactions as everyone counted down from 10.

"I'm so fucking nervous" I muttered, Gemma practically bouncing in front of us.

"I'm excited" Colby grinned.

"Throw at the board, Gemma!" I gave her the green light, all three of us tossing our paint filled water balloons at the white canvas, the water mixing with the paint making it splatter in chaos against the canvas.

"OH MY GOD!" I shrieked, Colby pulling me into a hug, his arms wrapping around my back and before I knew it, my lips were placed on his.

A moment passed before our eyes fluttered open, wide smiles mirroring each other, our eyes holding gaze for a few seconds before Colby picked up Gemma and spun her around.

"It's a girl, Gemma! Can you believe it? You're going to have a baby sister, lovebug! Are you so excited?" Colby cheered, Gemma giggling as she got tossed in the air, my heart dropping to my stomach until his hands swiftly caught her, littering her in kisses.

It's a girl

We're having a baby girl!

Oh my god

OH MY GOD

"Holy shit" I muttered, my eyes wide as a million things began to go through my head.

We're doing this again.

It's Gemma all over again.

It felt like the past 4 years were replaying through my head. The labor and delivery, the late night feedings, the frills and the sparkles, the barbies and baby dolls.

Times two.

We're doing this again.

My eyes found my mothers, and as lifeless as they looked, I swear I could see life within.

She's going to be a grandmother to another baby girl.

She'll have three granddaughters.

Three beautiful bundles of joy to carry on her legacy.

I quickly walked over to her, carefully crouching in front of her as I wrapped my arms around her.

"You're going to be a grandmother to a baby girl again, mom" my voice cracked, tears starting to roll down my cheeks as I pictured introducing my second daughter to my mother. 

Showing my mother her beautiful eyes, her ten fingers and ten toes, the way her chubby cheeks smiled.

"I can't wait for you two to meet" I smiled, swiping the tear off my own mothers cheek.

"Con......grat....ulat........ions...... su......n.....sh....i....ne"  Her slow raspy voice let out, my entire body crumbling beneath my feet.

"Thank you, mom" 

~

I felt guilty for sitting, watching everyone else help clean up, my gaze lingering a little too long on Colby's mom who has yet to talk to me; in fact, his entire family seems to be avoiding me for reasons I was unsure of — quickly looking away when she'd turn around, only to land on Landon who was sitting next to Finn, Gemma and Harper appearing to be showing them something.

Cynthia plopped down next to me, mirroring my position by kicking her feet up, "Hey creeper"

"Creeper?"

"Mhm"

"I'm not a creeper" I pouted, turning my neck to look at her, taking her appearance

How did she look so good in this heat?

Her hair was pulled into a tight bun, her tight curls falling over the top of it, giving this cute messy look; the blue t-shirt popping against her dark skin, the white shorts making me raise a brow.

"Experimenting?" I half jokingly teased, motioning towards the stark white shorts.

"It's called Logan bought me them and I'm being a supportive wife" She replied, ignoring my laugh.

"He tried. Doesn't he know you never wear white pants? I mean, I think you barely own white sundresses" 

"We're being supportive, Leighton" She chuckled, her lips staying in a tight line, threatening to crack into a smile.

"HEY LOGAN!" I yelled across the yard, catching his attention, motioning towards us.

"Leighton!" Cynthia hissed.

I waved her off, watching my older brother make his way over to me.

"What?"

"Your wife? You're the only white she does. Got it?" My eyebrows raised, Logan's face masking confusion, Cynthia gasping.

"Leighton Rae!"

"What is going on? Was that a race joke? From you?" Logan asked, tossing me a weird look.

"Cynthia says she's being supportive by wearing the ugly white shorts you've bought her. I thought I'd save your marriage and let you know that your wife? Doesn't do white"

Logan and Cynthia began to converse about the drama I've stirred up, Cynthia sending me a harsh glare as I excused myself, wandering back over to the snack table that I know Colby and April have ordered no one to clean up.

"Leighton" Colby's dad greeted, nerves making the muscles in my back tense.

"Mr. Brock" I smiled, hoping he bought it and couldn't read me like the worst book ever written.

"Congratulations on your pregnancy. I can't wait to meet the little one" He tossed me a supportive look, my eyes catching Colby's blue ones, seeing he was talking with Gage and Landon, his face full of worry not setting me at ease by a landmine.

What was he so worried about?

Shouldn't he be happy I was talking to his dad?

"You and I both. I can't believe it's a girl. I honestly thought it was going to be a boy. I literally voted for boy on that game my friend set up" I giggled, my hand running over my stomach, feeling another flutter, naturally starting to rock my hips side to side a little bit, knowing the baby settles with movement, praying to god she didn't add more pressure onto my bladder.

"Take it from a Brock boy, who raised Brock boys.. be glad it's a girl" He laughed, my nerves immediately take ease at how lighthearted he was being.

"That bad, huh?"

"These gray hairs? Gage has one half and Cole has the other. Now if you ask Lesa, they're her perfect boys who've never broken a lamp in their day" He chuckled, my eyes flickering back over to Colby, catching him quickly looking away.

"Got room for more gray hairs? Something tells me  it's about to get a lot more messy" I joked, my hand going in a soothing motion over my stomach.

"You've done this before, it'll be alright" He reassured, my head tilting.

"You just told me the Brock genes gave you gray hairs!" I laughed, "Gemma's working on it, but this one is going to have your son's DNA written all over it. I'm going to need all the help I can get"

"Speaking of" shit, now what? "I've heard you guys have been thinking about moving" double shit. Who told them? Colby... "Have you considered Arizona? I'd love to be a lot closer to my granddaughter" Granddaughter? Singular? What about Gemma?

"Sir... Mr. Brock, as much as I'd love to be closer to you guys.." I caught my lower lip between my teeth, slowly releasing it, "I wouldn't want to get hotter than California, and Arizona sounds god awful. I mean, how do you guys survive? I heard that some days you can cook an egg right on your driveway! That sounds like hell. I mean, how don't you cook alive? California is kicking my ass.. er.. butt, as it is. I can't imagine being pregnant in that kind of weather" I rambled, annoyed at myself and Mr. Brock for not having cut me off sooner. 

Colby I swear to god if you don't come save me—

"It's not terrible all the time" He attempted to coax me into an agreement and I quickly excused myself, pulling the I'm pregnant and need to pee card, praying to god I can outwait this conversation in the kitchen.

I walked into the living room, finding Landon sitting on the couch with Nova, his eyes lighting up when he spotted me, calling out "Leighton!" being a much welcomed disaster.

"Hey" I smiled, plopping down next to him, getting a closer look at his face, my jaw dropping, "How the fuck is your liner so even? What the hell?"

"Years of practice" He teased,  my face shifting into a glare of disbelief, Landon stifling his laughter, clearing his throat, "I actually have been meaning to talk to you"

"Oh?" My ears perked, my head tilting as he chewed his lower lip.

"Yeah, I uh.. It's um.. been... somewhat of a long time coming?" He started, visibly swallowing the lump in his throat.

"Well I already know you're gay" I joked, Landon rolling his eyes. "Just spit it out, you know I'll love you no matter what. I didn't think talking to me was so scary"

"It's not scary, I'm just.. nervous of you disapproving" He led on, my eyes squinting.

"Disapproving? Of what? I've already met your boyfriend"

"Yeah... that's the thing" He murmured, struggling to keep eye contact.

"What? Did you guys break up? I thought you said he was busy today" I interrupted, Landon's lip turning white from how hard he was biting it.

"No we're still together" He eased, confusing me.

"Then what?"

"Well.. uh.." He stuttered, my patience growing thin.

"Spit it out Landon Roy"

"I'm in a polyamorous relationship" He quickly slurred, my lips parting out of shock.

"A poly what now?" I gaped, Landon turning white, uncomfortably shifting away from me. "Wait, so you're in an open relationship?" I asked, my head feeling like it was spinning.

Landon quickly shook his head, "No that's different"

"Then you're a what? What's a poly— poly what? What did you say?"

"Polyamorous"

"Polyamorous" I repeated, Landon nodding. "What's that?"

"It's uh.. well, I'll explain from my perspective to make it easier" he explained, myself nodding, allowing him to continue, "So I am dating Xavier" he stated and I nodded, having already knew that, "And I'm also dating Finley" he dropped the biggest bombshell of my life.

My jaw dropped as my throat became dry, my eyes widened, Landon's reddened cheeks flushing white as he nervously licked his lips.

"You're dating Finn? Like.. like best friend Finn? Like Landon, Finley and Molly, the trio that we once knew to basically be added on siblings? That Finn?" I confirmed, feeling like I got slammed into a wall.

Landon nodded slowly and I blinked a few times, struggling to wrap around whatever the fuck he just told me.

"For how long?" I started, figuring I might as well give him the third degree if my brain wasn't going to keep up in speed. Might as well go on autopilot.

Landon hesitated, "It's been.. a while" 

My eyes narrowed, "Define a while" 

"You're how far along?" He asked, my eyes widened again.

"Landon! Oh my god" I scolded, "I'm almost five months" I glared, scared as to where this was going.

"Um... so around... seven months?"

"SEVEN MONTHS?!" I shrieked, Landon wincing. "WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"I'm sorry" He immediately apologized, his face filling with sorrow as hurt lingered in my chest.

"You've been together for almost a year, and you're just now telling me?!" 

"We uh, wanted to wait-"

"NO SHIT! Seven months is a long time, Landon!"

"I know, I'm sorry" he frowned, my anger beginning to boil.

I thought we were close?

We fucking lived together! How did I miss any sort've signs that he was interested in Finn?!

"We wanted to just test the waters. See if this is really what we wanted... and uh, a few months past, and then I was scared"

"Scared? Scared of what? Of me?" I questioned, my heart feeling heavy when he nodded. "What?" I whispered, "Why?"

"I didn't want to lose you" he confessed.

"Lose me? Lose me, how?"

How could he think that? 

"I didn't want you to judge me? Disagree?... hate me"

"Hate you? Landon, I could never hate you" I reached forward for him, frowning when he yanked his hand back.

"You hate Lexi" he shot back, the creases on my face softening.

"I don't hate her"

"You don't talk to her, and you disagree with her relationship" 

"I disagree with her relationship because of their age gap. It's different when you're older, but when you're so young.. I just.. I don't agree with it"

"You can see why I'd be nervous to tell you I'm poly" He pointed out, my lips pursing.

"I'm sorry I made you think you couldn't tell me" I apologized, hating that he felt the need to hide such a big secret for so long.

Who all knew?

"What's going on in your head?" He asked, surprising me by how mature he sounded.

I always forget he's no longer my annoying twelve year old brother.

"A lot of things" I answered honestly, not even knowing where to start.

"Well, ask away" 

Surprisingly Landon answered every question. He and Braxton broke up because Landon wanted to experiment with being polyamorous; everything slowly starting to piece together at how out of left field their breakup felt. Landon stopped hanging out with Molly as much due to her constantly feeling awkward now that Landon and Finn were in a relationship.

I decided to learn about what being polyamorous meant, Landon explaining that it meant x amount of people were committed to each other like a typical relationship, whereas an open relationship you were able to mess around with anyone. Or at least I think that's what he meant. I don't know, I'm still learning.

"So you're not mad?" He asked quietly and instead of answering I pulled him into a hug.

"I'm not mad. I'm curious and have a shit load of questions, but I'm not mad. Thank you for finally telling me, and I'm sorry that you felt like you couldn't just because of how I reacted with Lexi. I love you, Landon"

"Leighton, I don't understand why you're so nervous" Colby expressed, holding the door open to a somewhat nice apartment complex.

Clearly Aaliyah had to of gotten have her feet to afford this place.

"Because what if she doesn't want to ever talk to me again? Colby, you don't understand. We're never like this. Even when we're mad at each other, we get over it! It's rare for us to go this long without at least texting each other" 

"Leigh, I understand. Believe it or not, I've known you longer than you're currently giving me credit for" He snickered, my finger jabbing into the elevator button as I tried to calm the nerves in my stomach.

Colby's hand rubbed soothing circles on my lower back as I rang the bell, praying I had the right apartment.

Is she going to slam the door in my face? Will she hear me out? Can we finally patch up this ridiculous tiff we had?

We were met with silence. 

"Do I try again?" I asked softly, my voice dripping in insecurity, Colby shrugging, allowing me to hit the bell again.

I tried knocking, ringing the bell a third and fourth time before giving up.

"Maybe she's not home?" Colby suggested and I sighed, running my hand through my fairly long black hair.

With one final attempt failing, we quietly walked back to our car, no one saying a word until we reached a stoplight near my parents house.

"I'm sorry you didn't get to talk to her" Colby said softly, my head leaning back against the headrest.

"I just, I don't understand, ya know? Like I want to fix this. I want my best friend back. I want to share this with her and I feel like she wants nothing to do with me. Did I really burn our bridge over something so fucking stupid?"

"Leighton, you can't control how other people respond to things. The best you can do is keep trying. Maybe she's busy, maybe she wasn't home?" He rambled off, the feeling of his eyes on me becoming hard to ignore as I kept my gaze held outside the passenger side window. "Leigh?"

"Hm?"

"Are you okay?" He asked, his hand grabbing mine, getting me to look at him.

"I'll be fine"

"That isn't what I asked"

"I don't want to talk about it because I know it's my fault, and I regret it enough as it is"

"Okay...." he glanced back over at me, our eyes meeting for a few seconds before I looked back out the window, "Have you asked your boss about the trip?"

"I have"

"And?"

"It got approved. Four days off"

"Four days?"

"Don't push your luck Brock, I've got bills to pay" I warned, Colby smirking as he shook his head.

"I wasn't pushing my luck"

"Mhm"

"I wasn't!" He laughed, his smirk growing into a grin when he noticed my face was slipping to keep it's careless posture. "Come on! It's going to be fun, Leigh"

"I know it will be fun. I'm just nervous"

"Well don't be" He teased, my eyes rolling.

"Haven't heard that one before"

"Someone's moody" he hummed, his lips rolling inwards when I glared at him.

"I'm sad. I'm mad. I'm annoyed. I'm hungry and can't have fast food—"

"Why can't you have fast food?" he interrupted, his brows furrowed.

"Because I've had one too many McDonalds milkshakes and then thrown up afterwards"

"Ah. So we're done with the milkshakes? What's your current pregnancy obsession if it isn't hangover food?"

"Pretzels" I chuckled, "And chocolate. Anything chocolate is great"

"Oh!" he quickly opened the center console, blindly digging around before pulling out a small bag of something, "Here! I uh, I don't know how melted they are, but they were once Reeces" he snickered, handing me the orange bag.

I dug one out, seeing they were melted, and then resolidified, and slightly melted again, "How long have these things been in there?"

"I don't know"

"Colby!" I shrieked, laughter following behind my shock, "Were you planning on poisoning me?!" my chest shook from failed attempt of holding back my laugh, tossing the back into the cupholder. "You're going to need to start storing snacks in here if you want me riding with you to the Airbnb" 

"I get the pleasure of you riding with me?" He asked, his gaze lingering as we waited at a stop sign.

"Only if you bring snacks"

"I don't know if I want pregnant Leighton has my copilot" he snickered.

"Hey! You got me pregnant! I don't want to hear your complainants!"

"So I'm thinking we leave two days after Kat's birthday? That way her and Sam can go do their thing, and then we can all start the few hour drive there?" Colby checked in, his head tilting when my lips pursed, "What?"

"We're not doing anything with Kat for her birthday?"

"Baby, I think they want to just do their own thing"

"But you always do stuff with her for her birthday?" 

"We can do a bigger thing at the rental, how about that? Plus, I thought you guys didn't get along? You've made it clear that she isn't your favorite person to hang around, why I invited more people than just her and Sam to come with us"

"I don't hate her, I just... we don't mix well, ya know? We're different in a way that if we didn't have you and Sam forcing us to hang out, we wouldn't really hang out. She was great and all when I was pregnant, and had the baby, but I don't think us on our own works well"

"How is it that you and Sam are like best friends, but you and Kat don't get along?" He chuckled, my eyes lingering on his arms as he turned the wheel, biting my lower lip as I watched his muscles flex a little, doing a somewhat U-turn move.

"It's not that we are at each other's throats, it's just... we don't mix well. We have different interests, different conversations.. I just, I don't think we would make good friends outside of our common interests of you and Sam, or even just Gemma. Nothing against her, we just— It's not like how her and Stas can have sleepovers, and Stas and I can have sleepovers. We can't be alone. It's honestly kind of awkward"

"Alright well, this time around we get the master bedroom instead of them. They can have your little closet nook"

"Hey! I liked my closet nook" I frowned, not understanding what Colby had against my little cozy hobbit hole.

"It has a twin bed in it, Leighton. I don't know how you survived being pregnant in that thing"

"If I remember correctly, you squeezed into that twin bed, in fact, you yanked me out of it—"

"I was quite rough with you, wasn't I?" He chuckled, "You should've told me you were pregnant. I would've gone easier on you"

"I can't believe we're going back" I sighed, astonished that this was really happening again.

"I know. So much has changed since then" he agreed.

"I know, you got me pregnant and put a ring on my finger" I giggled, wiggling my fingers in front of us, the ring twinkling against the sunlight.

"If you like it then you should've put a ring on it!" He began to sing, my hand coming over to cover his mouth, shrieking when he licked me, only to feel another flutter in my stomach.

Every time I feel the baby move, it feels surreal.

There is life growing inside of me, and these little flutters keep proving that.

"Here, hand me your hand" I rushed, Colby sending me a weird look, "Shut up, just give me your hand" 

I placed his hand on my stomach, Colby constantly looking between me, my stomach and the road, "What are you doing?"

"I keep feeling a flutter and I want to know if you can feel it too!" 

"A flutter?"

"Mhm! Remember when Gemma would kick? I don't know if the baby is positioned enough to feel it on the outside of the stomach, but I keep feeling a similar sensation in my tummy. Make me laugh again" I demanded, Colby stifling his laughter.

"I can't just make you laugh on demand"

"Yes you can! Come on, do it. You're not allowed to tickle me!" I warned, not wanting to pee my pants in his car.

"This is a lot of pressure!" He exclaimed, getting me to giggle, but not enough to make my chest shake. "Oh! Remember when we went to Minnesota and I had met your Aunt and Uncle and we had that dance party in the kitchen making those pizzas? I truly thought your uncle was going to disown me" 

"I'm shocked Aunt Ginger didn't disown Melissa" I giggled, memories of dancing with the Rotty's flashing through my mind. "We should go back" I sighed, missing the environment that was my Aunt and Uncle's house. 

"Tell me when to book the flight and we'll go"

"We can't. I have too many responsibilities"

"Leighton, you've got to live a little"

"I am! I am living! This is me living! I can finally get a good job now that I don't have my record over my head. I can possibility go to college"

"You want to go to school?" He questioned, putting the car into park outside my parents house.

I chewed on the inside of my cheek, "I've thought about it"

"Really? What would you go to school for?"

"I don't know... I want to do something though, ya know?"

"Is this you wanting to go to school for yourself, or to prove to others that you aren't a fuck up?" He asked, fully turned to look at me.

"You know" I sighed, "I'm learning that doing shit for others is getting me nowhere. I think I want to do this for myself. To feel accomplished. To feel worthy of something"

"Leighton, you're worthy of everything. You've already accomplished so much. If you want to go to school, I'll support you, but you don't need to do this just to add it to a list of accomplishments to show off. You're never going to be truly happy if you don't do it for yourself. Be proud of the list you made to show yourself, not others" He gave my hand a squeeze before taking his keys of the ignition, unclipping his seatbelt and opening the door, only to turn back to look at me, "Plus, I think having two incredible daughters is already such a huge accomplishment" he winked before climbing out of the car and shutting the door, leaving me alone.

Having two kids was an accomplishment, but what about my best friend? My mother? My sister? Having those people by my side as I achieved these things?

What am I going to tell my daughters when they ask what life was like before them? Or when they were growing up? 

That I'm a drug addicted fuck up? That I lost everyone I loved and had to piece it all together, only to repeat it again?

"Leighton? Are you coming?" Colby called out, his voice muffled from the closed car doors.

I nodded, unclipping my own seatbelt and climbing out of the car, shutting the door, allowing him to lock it.

"You alright?" He asked, motioning for me to walk in front of him up the sidewalk and steps. 

I nodded, pulling the storm door open, Colby's hand reaching out to hold it above my head.

"Coco!" Gemma yelled, scooting off the couch and running over to us, Colby happily picking her up.

Having two incredible daughters is already an accomplishment... Right?

* * * * 

This was supposed to be out days ago but I was preoccupied having a birthday and seeing Taylor Swift lol I apologize 

I also apologize for it being another girl, but it was already written into the storyline when I realized how annoying that kind of is... 

My next Colby book he will have a son, I promise lol it's already planned - I kind of always write kids into my books if you can't tell lol

Lastly, did anyone suspect Landon's secret???

[kurtty-drabbles]

Fancy to meet you.

@djinmer4

Kurt Colby was never deemed ugly or stupid or weak, far from that, in fact, Kurt Colby was considered one of the best guards for Justicar Bull, and he can fly (something that is a blessing and a curse) but certainly exists a quote somewhere to never be too cocky because there´s always someone better than you.

Lol and behold, a portal open revealing the X-men and a version of himself named Kurt Wagner who is blue and with fur and a tail and to top all of this oddness, defeated Colby easily destroying his ego and giving question and anxiety to the normal looking Kurt.

Turns out, traveling to dimensions is possible and Colby wants to talk with that Nightcrawler again(does he?) but turns out that there´s many of them(him) out there and meeting each one of them is a hazard experience.

“I´m a bit disappointed,” the German voice identic as his own said(only Darkholme have a different tone, is dark and husky) “ I was hoping the bars of your dimension would be funnier than mine, like Star Wars, and we could argue who shot Han Solo first or if blue milk is good for health”

The voice belongs to NIghtcreeper and Colby have listened to his story, or how he likes to dub, his origin story(“they could do a movie about it…and wait, why I think it will have Wolverine there or Hugh Jackman”) and Colby still feel lost.

So much for the brightest student at the Academy.

“I don´t know what is Star Wars, but you´re a Nightcrawler,” Colby said bemusedly “ maybe you can create one here”

“Yes, I could but then there´s the copyrights and Kitty´s biggest boner for Star Wars, so, I pass” Nightcreeper revealed and order a beer.

“Kitty? Oh, nevermind” Colby is drinking his own beer and asked, “ do you know who Am I?”

“ A lonely guy in  a bar having an existential crisis, oh, that, yes, I know you are my less furry persona”

“And you don´t think this is odd? How come Am I the only one to not be furry or having teleport powers or be confident as the others? Am I the ugly duck here?” Nightcreep would like to point out that being a furry person is not easy, he would like to do that with the same delicacy his Kitty would have, however, Nightcreeper is many things but delicate.

“ Oh, do you want to be a fetish? DO you want people to look at you like you are some sort of freak? Having to fight to prove we deserve to exist sure seems exciting to outsiders, but trust me, it gets a little boring after a while” the skeptic is not lost to Colby who realizes the beer is gone.

“…I want to be a hero, that all I want”

“Well, the first step to be a hero is to not be a jackass, so don´t come down here to cry how you are not the typical Nightcrawler when in reality, many would like to be the normal one” Nightcreeper finished his beer and really want another beer. Kitty will be bothered that he is drinking again, but, tonight is not going to be easy.

nipping at your nose ✧ colby brock ✧ 31doh 3

prompt: day 3, winter spirit!colby

pairing: winter spirit!colby brock x fem!reader

summary: a certain winter spirit takes an interest in you.

word count: 927

warning(s): colby dying in a frozen pond, fluffy to soft core angst

“I just wish it would snow,” you said, gazing out the window, chin propped up on your hand as you watched leaves slowly fall from the trees.

Your roommate, ever the realist, quirked a brow up at you and said, “It’s October. It’s not going to snow anytime soon. Hell, it’s probably not even going to snow in December. It hasn’t snowed here in years!” 

“I know,” you pouted. “But a girl can dream.” 

“Well, only if you recognize that your dream is hopeless.” 

You sucked in a breath, tearing your eyes away from the dreary day outside. You swiveled around in your seat, looking at your roommate. “You know, shitting on other people will never make you happy.” 

“Y/N, what the fuck!?” your roommate shouted, but you were already slipping on a jacket and walking out the front door. 

The autumnal breeze chilled you to the bone as you crossed the parking lot, the street, and went straight into the woods. Beyond the trees, far off the beaten path, was a little pond that you had discovered in the aftermath of a different fight with your roommate. Honestly, it was a surprise to everyone that you had kicked them out yet. In many ways, you were too kind for your own good. 

That, perhaps, is what he liked the most about you. 

Colby Brock had been a “Jack Frost” of sorts for a few decades now. The previous Spirit of Winter, one of many young men and women who had taken up the mantle of Jack Frost, had passed his legacy onto Colby after Colby’s passing. In his life, Colby had been young and carefree. That’s what led him to that pond. He and his friend Sam had found the place when they were exploring one winter night. They were about to head off into the real world, to college and to jobs and to marriage and to kids, but Colby wasn’t ready to go yet. He convinced Sam to join him in one last adventure, one last carefree night before they were no longer allowed to act like kids again. They skated across the frozen pond, but that frozen pond wasn’t as solid as Colby had thought it to be. The ice cracked around Sam’s feet and, acting purely on instinct, Colby pushed his best and only friend away to safety and succumbed to his bitter death. Then he remembered…floating? He looked down on the scene, Sam fishing his body out of the pond, hands bloodied from cracking the ice with his fists so he could find his friend. He remembered shouting at Sam. He remembered screaming. He remembered that he couldn’t be seen. Not anymore. 

And he remembered flying over the small town, trying to figure out what the hell he was supposed to do, when he met the Spirit of Winter. He was offered a promise, a chance to have a purpose and stay forever young and carefree, should he only accept the spirit’s offer. With nothing left and no instructions, Colby became the next Spirit of Winter. Ever since, Colby had been on his own, bringing winter to the world every year. But it was a lonely afterlife, and he found himself returning to that pond every spring, watching as the flowers grew around the small stone memorial Sam had put by a tree near the pond. And that’s where he found you, crying because you could never stand up for yourself and let yourself be kicked around yet again. And he wasn’t sure why, but he became entranced by you.

“What a stupid fucking bitch,” you were grumbling, kicking around a rock. “Why can’t I have a fucking dream without it being shat on? Why can’t I just have one thing that’s mine?” 

You reached the pond, sitting by Colby’s memorial. You often sat there when you came to the pond. You didn’t know who Cole Brock was, but there was something oddly comforting about the thought of him.

You didn’t know that he sat next to you, contemplating on showing you a winter in October.

But, as you sniffled, he knew he couldn’t just let you be sad, so he made a few small clouds over the area begin to snow. There was no better sight in the world than seeing your face light up. You were giggling, holding out your hands and catching the small snowflakes, watching them melt. You rose to your feet, spinning around and dancing through the snow.

Colby danced, too, pretending he was your partner, acting like you were dancing some elaborate waltz. And when you stopped, gazing up at the clouds, he stopped, too. But instead of looking at what he had created, he looked at you, relishing in your undeniable beauty. He didn’t know what came over him, but something akin to love bubbled up inside of him.

He leaned in, kissing your cheek. You didn’t feel it, and neither did him. But the idea that you could’ve been someone he’d bring to the pond, to spin in circles around the ice, was enough to warm his frozen heart. 

But you would never be his.

And he would never be yours.

As he watched as you eventually returned home, chilled to the bone, he finally understood why the previous Spirit of Winter wanted to get rid of the mantle to the first person ready to take it up. Why there had been so many Jack Frosts. 

There was no point in an eternal youth if you couldn’t share it with someone.

[socialanxiety-queen]

My thoughts on the last conjuring video:

• Their previewing music is giving me some Viking vibes and I’m here for it.

•Carousel Solby is happiness

• The fact they said their names to the owners is just scary as shit and I feel this could be a weird trap from the demons to get them back in the house.

• Advertising xplr club and I weep for I am poor

• Seth lasting only 30 secs

• Josh and Seth hell yeah

• I think the Amanda and Scott in the sand is just a coincidence, someone who visited before them could of written their names there. But who knows, maybe the spirits write down fake ass people in their mean girls sand book. “Amanda is such a fake betch” -scribbles her name in the sand with gel pen-

• “Maybe they want us to do videos with more mediums”

Stop Sam. Please stop. Maybe the spirits are actually telling you guys to stay away from them, because clout chasing fake mediums Amanda are harmful to spirits.

• Also thank you Sam and Colby for saying everything about Bathsheba is speculation and rumors you rarely hear anyone state that. 🥰

She was buried on Christian soil, If she were indeed a witch they wouldn’t have let her body be buried there. Even though the witch trials happened centuries before her time, people still held onto those beliefs.

Whatever this woman really did led people to dirty her name and movies bank off of it and make it worse. Chances are she was hated for being different, and anything you did made you a witch and even if she was one (because there is nothing wrong in that) I don’t think there’s any proof she was an evil one.

•BOB THE BONE FINDER

•Sam hates the woods and Colby hates bridges

•Josh is an adorable Jersey Devil 😌

• Snakes showing up outta nowhere got me saying “Nope Fuck that”

• “Dude, and there’s BATS!” Ain’t nothin’ but a sky puppy, Colby. 🥰

• “Perfect setting for us to die” “Oh god no we are not going to do that again, because we might actually die here”

•Colby saying he’d never leave her behind was just Awh

•Colby: Walk the beam I haven’t done gymnastics since the third grade!

Josh: Dang, Good luck bro.

Seth: You were a gymnast, Colby?

Colby: Fuck yeah bro. I can do the splits on anything!

Sam: O-On On anything, or? 😳

Incorrect quote to appease the Solby gods Colby: On that ass 😏

• Sam choosing the right way was adorable and shows he has a very good intuition.

•Colby making an angry face and Sam leaning on him to make him laugh with “Fat nutties” while also stuttering (flashback to that car video if you know you know) was extremely fucking cute and my Solby feels are flying.

• Also the fact Colby didn’t laugh at Sam for stuttering and was just casually still playing mad, was very cute because it shows he cares so much about Sam and Sam might have issues with stuttering that Colby doesn’t find funny. 🥰

• That pentagram is inverted which does mean evil.

•Yes double Estes

• It was heart wrenching the way Sam shot up over hearing Colby’s name and Colby said Sam’s name in such a painful way.

• Their going in alone guys! Woooooooo

•The I love you exchanges 😌🙌🏻

• “What if we stayed the night at the Stanley Hotel”okay yes hyped hyped! “But we bring Amanda.”

WHY?

Why do you have to always bring Amanda? She is a bad vibe con artist, she brings nothing to the videos with her classic “I was just about to say that!” being about the only thing she says. Honestly I push through for SnC and the others they bring with them, but Amanda is just sucking the joy from the videos like a vampire who doesn’t know how to read the room or when they’ve over stayed their welcome and won’t leave.

•Neck touching ghosts

• Confused R2-D2

• “Uh uh!” Colby, mood

• I love when Sam and Colby are alone ghost hunting because their excitement to catching stuff is adorable.

• The fact a full body was in that window is unnerving, whatever it was drained Sam’s walkie and was being a huge stalker.

• Sam and Colby being worried about each other durning the end 🥺 We Stan in this house. 🙌🏻

• I’d love to see them do more videos with just themselves, just maybe no more listening to Amanda’s about stuff that could put them at risk. Give us an xplr duo vid please.

~

Elton, Corey, Sam, and Colby were going on a trip this week and originally Penelope was going to stay at home alone but the four surprised her saying she gets to go too. Mainly it was because Sam and Colby asked Elton if she could go because since she broke up with Darwin, he keeps going by their place banging on the door before running off.

Corey had no problem with her going since he found her nice to have around. She was the youngest but she always made sure everyone was okay. She basically was a mom to them and she saw her like a little sister. So Elton agreed that she could go with them, but deep down Penelope felt like she was intruding on them.

She really felt like it for the place they were staying at. Elton and Corey shared a bed, and Sam and Colby shared a bed. So Penelope would end up having g to share the bed with Sam and Colby. They didn't care whatsoever even though the bed was just for two people.

At that moment Penelope sat and watched the four act like they were making an action trailer playing around with all the drones flying around. She had herself bundled up and curled up.

"I say that should win an Oscar." She joined them as they finished.

"Why thank you." Corey laughs freezing.

"You guys ready to go to an 80-foot underground sauna pool thinking?" Elton asks so they all say yes.

For the car ride, none of them wanted to get out when they arrived because it was so warm in the car. "Mine you, we only brought one towel." Sam speaks up.

"No, that's my towel and Peeps added hers too." Colby corrects them.

Inside Sam and Elton go to buy themselves towels while the other three wait for them, "Has your ex tried contacting you?" Corey asks Penelope.

"I blocked him on everything but he still tries to stalk my socials. It's whatever. When we get back and he still comes by the apartment we're calling the police on him." She explains to him.

"He never gives up. I had to block him myself." Colby bitches as the two come back so they head out to the sauna.

The only thing Penelope hated was they had to wear life jackets because they made her feel like it was choking her.

"I need my buddy." Colby swims towards Penelope.

"No, leave me alone." She swims away from him and pushes the other guys into his path.

She relaxes by herself for a bit till Elton calls her, "Penny, Colby's dead." He laughs so she looks over to see him face down in the water.

"I'll save him." She plays along and runs him right-side up.

"Now, give him mouth to mouth." He tells her.

"For one, you're not supposed to do that just chest compressions." She points out then tickles Colby making him move.

"I hate you. You know I hate that!" He does it back to her making her squeal.

After some time they get out to dry off and wrap their towels around them while Corey asks about his towel. "It's negative 40 degrees outside and no one and no one told me to get a towel." He looks at them but then gets a towel from a stranger.

Outside a fan notices the guys and they chat for a while before four out of five get in the car cold and hungry. "No of guy guys want to touch the horse?" Elton asks. "I'm gonna go touch the horse. I'm gonna go play with the horse." He closes the driver's side door so Penelope gets out going across Sam.

"Penny!"

"I change my mind!" She rushes after him, "I wanna touch them!" She giggles taking a bit of hay to give to the horse and it eats it as she pets it with Elton.

"You a horse girl?" He asks making her laugh.

"No, but I love animals. Okay, we can go back now." She runs back to the car and he follows. They let Penelope back in the car but not Elton.

They also end up at a bowling alley to eat and after some time two more fans show up because they saw their Snapchat at where they were.

"I say we put a wager on the line here. Whoever does the best gets a bed to themselves tonight. Whoever's the worst sleeping on the floor." Elton says before they play a game.

"I mean deal but I feel like I should get a bed to myself because I sleep with two people already. Hell, maybe the floor will be better." Penelope finds a ball for herself.

In the first round, it came out to Elton, Sam, Penelope, Corey then Colby. Sam and Elton then decide to make a deal for more crap with bed-making. "I get both beds." Elton laughs, "And since I get both... Penelope gets the other bed to herself tonight."

"YES!" She cheers giving him a hug then happy dances.

"Have fun with no cuddles from us." Colby sticks his tongue out at her.

"I will admit it's so much warm in between the two of them but I also have no room so I don't care tonight."

Back at the hotel Elton and Penelope laugh at the three lying between the beds on the floor while they jump bed to bed over them.

"Alright, guys. That's it for today's video. I'm going to enjoy my bed and Penny is going to enjoy her bed tonight. Make sure to check out all of their channels." Elton ends the video.

"Do we seriously have to sleep on the floor?" Corey asks.

"Yes." Elton and Penelope say together.

"Fine." He pouts as she gets them a blanket for them.

"Enjoy y'all cuddles." She sends kisses to them jumping onto her bed.

~

Today everyone was going snowboarding and they all joked about falling on their faces the whole day. Penelope laughs as Colby, Sam, and Corey have trouble getting up off their butts.

"Why are you laughing? Let's see you get up." Sam crosses his arms so she pops up just fine.

"Have you done this before?" Elton asks.

"No, I just have balance." She giggles so Colby shoves her to fall and they both go down. "Asshat." She lays there annoyed.

"Need help now?" Elton chuckles.

"I got it." She groans getting up.

"I'm embarrassed how you're better at this than me." Colby says as they stay by each other.

"Not by much." She giggles, "I say on the big hill I'll be on my hands and knees more."

For the lift up Elton, Corey, and Sam rush to get on one but Colby stays back to sit with Penelope so she isn't alone. "Do you miss having the bed to yourself since we're back to sharing again?"

"No really. That night I kind of missed the extra warmth." She chuckles, "Kat texted me am I keeping Sam warm with my cuddles. She doesn't want him coming back purple and blue."

"Out of everyone, he would turn that color first." Colby agrees, "Do you still feel like a burden on this trip?"

"Not as much anymore but I still have my little moments where I do." She tells him truthfully, "But thank you and Sam for talking Elton and Corey into letting me come. I probably would be scared home alone with Darwin coming by. I'd be screwed if I did live alone and weren't friends with you."

"Luckily you have me and Sam." He nudges her as they join the other three.

They start to go and Penelope was the farthest before falling because Colby bumps into her so they both go down, "Colby." She whines as they both have trouble getting back up.

"I couldn't stop. I'm sorry." He gives up and just sits down.

The more they go down Corey has trouble so they just sit and lay around waiting for him. Penelope tells Sam about Kat texting her making him laugh while Colby listens to them as he keeps his eyes on Corey.

"I'm lucky I don't have a girl version of Darwin."

"Yeah, because girls are worse than guys when it comes to stuff like that. But she knows we are the definition of just friends." Penelope laughs sitting up from lying down.

"Have you ever had a tiny crush on Penelope when we were younger?" Colby looks back at them.

"7th grade for like two months but we hardly talked." Sam laughs, "What about you?" He gives him a look so Colby just rolls his eyes looking away.

After a long day and basically being the last ones in the mountain they head back to the bottom done for the day. Before going inside Elton says he's tired of sharing a bed with Corey so they play a game so he can sleep alone again like last time he won at bowling.

"Well, I'll know the outcome when you guys come in. I'm cold." Penelope heads to the room to get ready for bed.

When the guys came in everyone but Corey was in their underwear, "Elton won." Colby huffs.

"I'm not surprised." She says lying on the bed in her spot as they all get changed for bed too.

"I get this bed all to myself. And you guys get here. And apparently, we didn't specify that I get the bed to myself." Elton shows Corey lying at the foot of the other bed the three shared.

"They're going to let me sleep with them tonight. They're going to let me sleep in their bed tonight. Don't take that the wrong way." Corey laughs.

"How are four of us sharing a full-size bed?" Penelope looks at them.

"We all cuddle." Sam says so Corey leans back in her then the other two cuddle them.

"This is going to be hell." Penelope groans.

❝ bubbly ❞ - pjs

park jisung x reader | fluff | 3.3k words

WARNINGS | lowercase is intended, idol au, established relationship au, ngl this is really really fluffy, slight angst if you squint hard enough, idol!jisung x normal!reader, jisung and reader just miss each other :(, annoying dreamies who always tease poor jisung

SUMMARY | when you wait for him to come home from tour but accidentally falls asleep on the couch.

AUTHOR’S NOTE | this is my first fanfic on my blog oh my! mark isn’t here just cause he isn’t with the dreamies rn! i still love him though :) this is inspired by the song “bubbly” by colbie caillat! also this is not really your usual shy!jisung. he’s still shy but still kinda bold if that makes sense? idk idk this might really suck-

one month. 

one month of lonely nights, calls at random times depending on the difference in time zones, kisses through the phone, and just overall missing jisung.

park jisung. your boyfriend.

even saying that in your head brings millions and millions of butterflies to your tummy. the maknae of nct and the main dancer of the dreamies was yours. and you were just as much his. 

but being away from him is one of the scariest things for you. jisung was like your rock and not having him there meant more frequently bad days for you. it’s as if you can’t function properly knowing he won’t be waiting for you once you come home. 

however, after a long four weeks he was finally coming home. the moment you heard his voice on the phone reassuring you that he’d be home tonight, you secretly bursted out crying, not wanting to make the older boy worry. 

the night he came home, you did some light eyeliner and wore simple clothing, not wanting to go all out since it would probably be late at night until he got home and to be honest all you wanted was to just be in his loving embrace. after putting on the gray hoodie jisung left for you and black leggings, you put your up in a messy bun. your stray baby hairs were peaking out.

you then drove to the dreamies dorm where you agreed to meet up, being able to see not only your boyfriend but your best friends as well. the managers let you in with a smile. they have always had a soft spot for you and lowkey loved you more than the boys.

sitting on the couch you waited. hours passed and still nothing. no notifications on your phone. no text. no call. the last form of communication you had with jisung was his phone call letting you know he was on the plane, about to take off. 

you were a little worried, wondering if he’s still on his flight or if he’s okay. but you didn’t really know the distance between where he was flying from and korea, so the flight could just be really really long.

you tried staying up, you really did. the movie you played to keep you entertained was slowly lulling you to sleep. it was already one am and from the long day you had, you just couldn’t fight off the heaviness of your eyes.

a few hours passed and you were knocked out on the couch, your soft snores filled the silence of the room as the movie was long over.

too deep in your sleep to notice you didn’t wake up to hear your phone ringing and buzzing, blowing up with texts and calls from your very own boyfriend. 

jisung was worried. you weren’t answering and the last form of contact he had with you was when he called you right before they took off. your excited voice made his heart swell and he couldn’t wish for anything more than the plane to hurry up so he can scoop his baby in his arms and shower you with kisses. 

it was a little weird to have those thoughts though. jisung? the shy baby of nct wanting to give kisses? if you told him that a year ago he would’ve laughed and asked if you were mentally sane. being an idol at thirteen meant knowing at such a young age the things accepted and shamed in the kpop industry. having a girlfriend or any intimate relationship like that meant hate and shame for both parties. but his reasoning to not have a significant other yet all washed away the moment he laid his eyes on you.

one year later and you’re the light of his life. sure his hyungs loved teasing him about you but to be honest, he’ll take any sort of teasing if it meant being with you. you were and still are his everything. although he is still really shy showing affection in front of them, he’d still pull you in for a kiss if he really wanted to. however once you two were alone, this man was the biggest bully ever. since you were younger than him by a year, he loves babying you and teasing you about your height. 

he’s still growing his confidence being like that with his members so there’s an occasional time where he’ll speak to you cutely, cause the other members to gape in shock, mouths opening and closing like goldfish in a tank. 

during the ride back to their dorm, jisung couldn’t help but voice out his worries to his hyungs, wondering if you were okay. 

“do you think y/n is okay?” jisung would ask every ten seconds, lowkey annoying the others. his leg was bouncing nervously as he stared at his phone screen, seeing all the unread messages.

“jisung don’t be dumb.” renjun sighed as he laid down, reclining the seat as far as it could go. “it’s three am for god's sake! she probably just fell asleep.” he reasoned with the younger, just wanting him to shut up. 

donghyuck laughed a bit with his eyes closed, feeling the fatigue get to him too. 

jisung pouted a bit before sighing back. “i mean i guess you’re right.” 

the pink haired boy reclined his chair back too before quickly sitting up in terror.

“jisung what’s—”

“what if she’s being kidnapped and��“

chenle threw a pillow at him to shut up.

-

jisung flew out of the car, not caring if his luggage was still in the trunk of the car or if the others were still behind. the only thing he cared about was you. 

fumbling with the keys to the dorm he managed to open the lock in record time before face planting on the floor, tripping on the random shoe on the floor. the boy was ready to throw hands with the footwear until he realized who it belonged to. 

y/n, he thought. 

quietly walking through the dark dorm he sees a light coming from the living room and hears the snores he’s been wishing to hear in person for a whole month. 

❝ it starts in my toes, makes me crinkle my nose ❞

his feet suddenly felt like jelly looking at your peaceful form. you were gorgeous.

his nose scrunched up in happiness after noticing you were wearing his hoodie, the one he specifically wore for a week straight after knowing he’d be away for you for a month. 

with shaky hands, jisung slowly swats the stray hairs from your hair, a smile on his lips. as carefully as he could, he removed the blanket covering you sleeping form to slip in beside you on the couch.

❝ wherever it goes, i always know❞

the feeling of your warmth snuggled up against him still makes his heart hammer and at some point jisung was afraid you’d wake up to the sound of his thumping heart. instead however, you just nuzle your head into his neck instinctively making his face heat up. you really had an effect on this boy.

❝ you make me smile, please stay for a while now ❞

in moments like these, jisung really takes the time to appreciate how beautiful you are. don’t get him wrong, you’re gorgeous all the time. but when you’re unconscious, eyeliner slightly smudged, hair up in a messy bun and in his clothes, these are the most beautiful moments for him.

the smile on his lips evident as he thinks how nice it would be to come home to you like this for the rest of his life.

❝ just take your time whoever you go❞

rubbing soft circles into your back, jisung was ready to fight donghyuck when he came into the dorms like a mad man. the moment hyuck opened his mouth, your boyfriend was already shushing him with a glare, being careful to not lose the rhythm his hands had on your back. 

hyuck’s eyes widened a bit before smiling softly at the two. 

“jisungie is in loveee~” he teased the younger as the rest of the members came walking through the door, their eyes landing at the soft sight in front of them. 

jaemin looked at you two so happily. he knew how much you made their maknae happy and how much their maknae made you happy. you guys were a match made from heaven and he loved you for always bringing a smile to jisung’s face.

jeno’s eye smile was out, snickering a bit at how disgustingly fluffy jisung looked. the shy boy he grew up with was so confident (or well, more confident than usual) when it came to you. you brought out the best in the boy and jeno couldn’t thank you enough for that. 

chenle just rolled his eyes with a small smile, walking towards his room. he loves you two, don’t get him wrong. but sleep is calling him. lowkey though chenle loves to see you two together just cause the room gets brighter. your happiness and content being in each other’s arms makes everyone in the room happy too.

renjun bit back a smile, wanting to tease the younger. 

“i told youuu~!” he poked at jisung’s cheeks, bending down to look at your sleeping form fondly. looking at jisung’s red cheeks he laughed, causing the boy to glare again.

“shush you’re gonna wake her up.” he whispered.

renjun narrowed his eyes a bit before scoffing. “you’re lucky i like her and want her to sleep, unlike you.” he rolled his eyes but his smile showed he wasn’t really mad. 

after everyone left, jisung turned his attention back to you immediately cooing at the drool falling down your mouth. it was a little disgusting, he wasn’t gonna lie, but you’re cute so he let it slide. jisung was about to go for a kiss until he heard an annoying voice whisper in the back :

“jisungie is in loveee~”

the pillow that jisung threw at hyuck is what woke you up.

[golbrocklovely]

so last night, after turning my asks off to answer the final couple i had, i made the wonderful choice to turn them back on.

and while i got mostly positive asks after switching back on, i did receive some negative ones that were disrespectful or, at the very least, said some outlandish things about me.

i originally wrote out this long, borderline dissertation that i planned to post, but now i think i just want to condense it to what's important.

i will be addressing the negative asks i got here without posting them or giving full context as to what they said.

you don't get to insult me on my own page and think your words were going to be seen by everyone. that's not gonna fly around here, friends.

in case i didn't make it clear in my previous asks: NO, i don't think you have misogyny just because you don't like stas. that is a weird generalization and also something i literally never said.

here's a fun fact: everyone has misogyny. we live in a society that dehumanized women frequently. if you can't agree that the society we live in treats women like actual garbage depending on multiple factors such as race, religion, size, economic class, you name it - if you can't agree with me on that, i'm not even gonna try having a conversation with you. i'm not here to educate you on how society hates women.

i didn't think i would have to put it plainly on here, or outright say something like what i'm about to say. so, i'm gonna make my statement as specific as i can. and you, lovely person reading this, shouldn't feel insulted by it if it doesn't apply to you. but if you have this feeling in the back of your mind telling you to be angry... well, you've heard of the phrase "if it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck...", right?

here's my totally original thought: some of you are so bitter and jealous of the women in colby's life that you will find any reason to hate them. you don't want to see colby happy unless he's with you, or someone you prefer him to be with. you want to control his life and his choices. however, you will never get a chance to date him. this is not some y/n insert fanfic. and if you constantly pick apart every woman that gets close to colby, but never a single man (or at least a very small few comparatively to the women in his life), you most likely have some internalized misogyny, or regular misogyny, that you should work through.

and as i've stated in multiple asks at this point, if you don't like stas, amber, shea, kat, bri, iris, a girl he stood next to on a bus in high school, that random girl hannah he lost his virginity, the catfish, sam's sister because he's probably had some interactions with her before - by all means, you're allowed to dislike them. what i mean by the statement i previously made above is that if you CONSTANTLY and CONTINUOUSLY hate EVERY girl he gets around... you're the common denominator. not every girl is shady and trying to use colby.

if colby wants to be friends or date a girl you don't like, you don't get to say he's in the wrong for it. i'm not saying you can't be upset, but if you really feel like the girl he's with is a bad influence or is using him, dm him. message him about it.

also, if i like the girl you don't like, i'm not the one to complain to. you aren't going to persuade me to feel the same as you, unless you show physically in some way that she is as bad as you claim. if you don't mind me disagreeing with you, then cool. but i'm not gonna continue to go back and forth with you just because you feel like you're right. talking in a circle is pointless.

which brings me to the longest circle i've talked ad nauseam about: shea.

i obviously don't like shea. i'm allowed to not like shea. the reason why i don't like shea is not because she is a woman that is friends with colby. i don't like her because she has continuously been in gcs with fans telling them information about colby and her's relationship while it's none of their business. on multiple occasions she has told fans that colby and (fill the blank here of a girl he is friends with) are not dating, but will never answer that type of question when asked. she's been called out for liking edits that made fun of girls colby was/is friends with and instead of making a public apology first, ran to her gcs to apologize who then posted her apology, and then finally made a statement. and yet, she still continues to do it.

but, if you love shea and think i'm crazy for disliking her, by all means, go ahead and like her. i'm not gonna stop you. however, if you think harassing me is gonna benefit shea or somehow make me like her, i don't think you understand how this works.

so, i just want to make it very clear that from this point on, i will not be talking about kat, stas, or shea. i'm done talking about them. i plan to post rules for sending in asks because all of this was a little too much to deal with eight days into the new year.

and when i eventually turn anon back on, if i get a hate message, i'm just gonna block you. there's no point in having a conversation with someone who thinks it's okay to make fun of me because i don't agree with them.

this is literally the dumbest thing i've had to deal with. and all of it over opinions... hilarious.

[faithiegirl01]

Faithie’s Rant Corner:

So I know Charlie will never see this and I’ll make a TikTok about this as well (which he also probably never see as well) so if you’d like to go love it up on there as well go right ahead it’s in one of my old videos that I posted.

Anyway I’d like to explain why I love this man. If you know me well you know I’m very boy crazy and that I get new crushes on celebrity’s everyday, but it’s safe to say I will always have my seven main guys who are at the top of said boy crazy list…

Chris Evans (will always be my main man he was my first real celebrity crush I mean besides sporticus on lazy town……)

Bradley Simpson (will always be a main for the reason that he got me though what I will always say was the hardest point in my life.)

Hunter Hayes (he helped me relax and not feel so invisible in this world when that’s all I felt.)

Colton Dixon (he showed me that it was ok to be a Christian in a time that I was really questioning my faith…)

Colby Brock (again will always be one of my main guys because he got me though the literal worst part of my life. I will always be thankful.

Dylan O’Brien (will always and I mean always be high on my list because he was another person who just pulled me out of a really hard spot.)

Then last but not least:

Charlie Gillespie the man this post is mainly about…

He changed my life in so many ways I mean all these guys have and like I said I’ll be forever grateful to them all, but Charlie brought music back into my life.

His passion for music just helped me start to bring mine back out. I mean heck I use to be so insecure about the songs I wrote, but since I discovered Charlie the lyrics just fly out without a care in the world what others will think. I also started guitar because he made it look like so much fun.

His sweet loving self just always makes me smile no matter how upset I am because he does so so much for the people he loves.

He even made me just open up to so many new things. Before I use to hate trying new foods, now that’s all I do. Before I had a gross sad style I never wore anything bright because I was afraid of what would happen if I stood out, now I’m glad to stand out and be myself.

so while I have a long list of guys that I like (more like admire….) Chris, Brad, Hunter, Colton, Colby, Dylan, Charlie and more….

These seven men will always and I mean always have a place in my heart without knowing that they do. Because they all saved me in one way or another (I can 100% elaborate more on each if anyone would like me to).

I will forever be grateful to them all for saving me in times I felt alone and like I was nothing. They each opened up so many doors for me when I felt like they were all closed and without Charlie and the rest of these guys I have no clue where I’d be now if it weren’t for them.

So THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH TO this man and the many others who have helped make me… well me… and I will forever and I mean forever be grateful to all of them.

Charlie thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for helping me bring music and just pure joy back into my life. You have no clue how much you’ve gotten me through and I will forever and I mean forever be so very thankful for you and Julie and the phantoms. You are one amazing person and I can’t wait for the day I can give you a hug and say an actual thank you straight to you.

So I just wanna give a big thank you to Charlie as well as all the other guys on here even if they’ll never see this cause my life was really impacted by them all at some point.

TRAP HOUSE AU [movies & tv shows] -- Harry Potter [Hogwarts]

Colby Brock -- 🐍Slytherin🐍 Corey Scherer -- 🦁Gryffindor🦁 Sam Golbach -- 🦅Ravenclaw🦅 Jake Webber -- 🦡Hufflepuff🦡

Sam couldn’t remember a time where he felt this free. He stared out at the Black Lake, watching as the squid flailed its tentacles out of the water, spraying a group of Hufflepuff’s studying by the shoreline. The blonde’s blue scarf fell from his shoulder and he quickly flipped it back up around his neck, careful to keep his balance along the long branches he and his friends were sitting on. 

“This has been one fucking year, bruva,” Corey called out from the branch on the next level beneath Sam, gripping tightly onto the bark like his life depended on it. 

Sam glanced down at him with a soft smile. The Gryffindor boy had shed his robes like the rest of them and was standing up on shaky legs in his pressed grey trousers. His white dress shirt untucked from his pants and the top few buttons undone. 

“At least we won against Dumstrung this year,” Sam reminded the Gryffindor boy. 

Corey narrowed his eyes at the blonde, “Oh sure, Ravenclaw totally won this year.”

“I must say, Hufflepuff was pretty damn close,” and there was Jake on the bottom most branch, using a switchblade to carve something into the trunk of the tree. He was the only one with his robes on, bright yellow clashing with deep black and his vibrant pink hair.

“Let’s not forget the best team of all-- Slytherin!”

And there was Sam’s best friend since they were first years. Sam snapped his head up to the branches above him. Colby pulled himself up on a branch to stare down at them all with a look of triumph. He had shed everything but his trousers, which were rolled up to his knees. Light scratches crisscrossed over his chest, but it was nothing that a little healing spell couldn’t fix.

“You guys came in last, loser!” Jake called out with a loud laugh.

Colby put on a fake frown, “Well, at least I didn’t fall off my broom,...again,” he fired back.

Jake made a fake noise of hurt, “I DID NOT!”

Sam and Corey burst into laughter remembering the sight of Jake flying through the air in his Hufflepuff Quiditich robes and then getting hit out of nowhere by a bludger from Sam’s team. Jake somersaulted through the air like an angel before his girlfriend from the bleachers said a quick spell to lower him to the ground. He landed in quite an awkward position with his head in the sand and his legs up in the air. 

“Y’all are the worse friends,” Jake pouted, crossing his arms over his chest, “And to think I was working on carving our names into this tree here.”

Sam leaned forward to take a closer look, “So that’s what you’re doing down there? Why aren’t you using your wand?”

Jake shook his head, “I wanted to do something without magic for once, you know? Makes it feel more real. That we will be friends forever.”

Sam smiled softly, “We will always be friends, Jake.”

“Damn, I wanted to get rid of you all,” Corey joked with a light laugh.

Colby echoed it from above them, “You ain’t that lucky, bitch.”

Corey stuck his tongue out at the Slytherin, “I’ll need Felix Felisus for that,” and from his trouser pocket he pulled out a small silver bottle, “Lucky I stole some from Slughorn when he got piss drunk at the party last night.”

“HOLY SHIT!” Colby cried out, shrieking like a maniac.

“DUDE!” Jake kept repeating it over and over again, standing up on his branch to get a closer look.

“COREY!” Sam, being the parent of the group, reached out for it, but the Gryffindor swiped it away from the Ravenclaw’s reach.

“Nope! It’s mine!”

“What are you doing with it?” Jake asked.

Corey smirked as he looked at the small bottle and tossed it between his hands, “I’m not sure.”

“Give it back to Slughorn before he notices-- is what you should do,” Sam scolded.

Colby gave a loud ompfh as he fell down to the next branch above Sam, shaking some pine needles into the blonde’s hair, “Oh, Sam, come on!”

The Ravenclaw looked up at his Slytherin best friend, “Seriously, Colby? You approve of this?”

Colby smirked down at Sam, “You forget what house I’m in, Sammy.”

A light blush danced on Sam’s cheeks at the nickname, “Just cause you’re Slytherin doesn’t mean you need to be an asshole, Colby.”

“I’m hurt!” Colby pressed a hand to his chest, “Besides,” his voice returned to normal, “I’m sure if you asked Corey nicely he would give you some to finally ask out Katrina Stuart.”

“OH FUCK YES!” Jake cried out like he just heard the best gossip ever.

Sam’s blush deepened, “No...”

“Yessss,” Colby hissed into Sam’s ear, “Come on, Sam. At this rate, we are all going to be in the Auror Department at the Ministry and you’re still gonna be pining after her like a lost puppy.”

Sam tried to hide his hand as he mumbled, “I don’t pine and I’m not a lost puppy.”

Corey laughed as he dangled the potion in front of Sam’s face, “Then I guess this is all for the rest of us, hound dogs, then.”

Jake turned to Colby at that, “What’re you gonna use it for, Colbs?”

And the Slytherin went into a long plan he wanted to do regarding a few other Slytherin girls he knew, but Sam looked off in the direction of the lake again. The squid had disappeared beneath the surface. In the distance, a large ship began to slowly sink beneath the surface as well, returning to Dumstrung with its students deep within its bowels. 

A familiar female laugh took Sam’s attention and down closer to the shoreline Sam could see a couple of females walking long the lake. The leader, a Gryffindor with long brown hair and glistening eyes, giggled at a friends joke before bursting off into a run ahead of them. That was Katrina Stuart, Sam’s long time crush since first year, and he was dying to say something to her, but she probably didn’t even know who he was. 

Sam turned back to Corey, feeling a surge of courage in him, “Can I have a sip, man? I’m gonna go ask Katrina out?”

Colby screamed out in joy, reaching down to grab Sam’s shoulders and shake him, “YEAH MAN! LET’S GO!”

Corey laughed with Jake as the Gryffindor tossed Sam the silver potion, “Go get her, tiger.”

nightmare // colby brock

apologies if this is dreadful, i just wanted to write a soft colby blurb and i had a cute request to write this.

requested: yes - i also decided to use number 16 from this prompt list.

summary: colby has a nightmare and you comfort him.

word count: 1.4k words.

warnings: one swear word.

my writing 

//

boot-clad feet walking across the hard wood is what prompts your eyes to fly open from your slumber. confusion is written all over your face as you lift your head off the white fluffy pillows, head whipping up to see who the culprit is, who was stalking further into the room. 

“colbs, is that you?” you ask quietly, voice slightly groggy, due to the hours of sleep that you have managed to consume since colby left the house with the boys to explore an abandoned hospital. 

“yeah, it’s me baby. sorry for startling you.” he whispers back to you, resulting in your shoulders deflating in relief. 

“it’s okay, don’t worry. how was exploring?” resting on your elbows, your eyes follow your boyfriend’s every move. you watch him kick off his black boots and shove them next to the cupboard, too lazy and tired to put them back into their original spot in his walk-in wardrobe.

“it was amazing, we managed to catch some really creepy stuff on camera. i’ll show you the footage tomorrow, i don’t want you to be too scared to sleep.” he responds, even though his back is facing you, you know there is a proud smile written on his gorgeous face because it’s evident in his voice. his hands skilfully unbuckle his belt and pop the button open of his black skinny jeans, before he drags them down his thighs and legs and kicks them off to the side. 

“good idea, you know i won’t sleep tonight if you do.” you chuckle, your eyes observing the way his back muscles clench when he peels his shirt off his body, chucking the used tshirt onto the floor adding to the pile of his clothes, before turning around and strolling towards the bed to join you. 

after getting himself comfy on his side of the bed, he opens his arms wide, inviting you to lay onto his warm chest. smiling softly, you scoot yourself up and wrap your arms tightly around his waist, leaving a gentle kiss to his chest before laying down. automatically, his arms circle around your body, holding you close to him almost as if he is scared you will fall out of his embrace during the night. 

“i missed you.” you mumble, lips brushing against his chest with every syllable, causing the brunette to shiver slightly under your touch. his reaction makes you lift your head to look at him, nose touching his jaw as you smile up at him. 

“i missed you more,” he mumbles back, tiredness begging to take over his body, and you are fully aware of this as the man yawns loudly before lifting one hand up to rub his eyes gently. after rubbing his eyes to help remove some of the fatigue, he cranes his neck down and presses his lips to yours, humming in satisfaction when you pucker your lips against his with the same amount of force. “i love you, sleep tight.” 

“i love you too, get some sleep. you look exhausted, baby.” you press a final kiss to his pink lips, raising one hand to brush some purple strands that have fallen into his face, out of his face, before returning your head securely back onto his chest. 

sleep seemed to take control of colby’s body fairly quickly and you’re not surprised at all. the four boys left the house at around seven in the afternoon and didn’t return home until around three in the morning, as the drive to and from the abandoned hospital was two and a half hours long. 

colby’s chest raising and deflating steadily is what urges your eyes to softly shut, arms circling colby’s chest tightly as you fall into a deep slumber again. 

--

colby could feel his breathing quicken rapidly, as he watched himself walk through the dark halls of the hospital behind his closed eyelids. he was alone, not a sound filling the corridor, only the occasional creek of the door and the howl of the wind that gushes through the smashed windows. 

as he turned the corner, his walking came to an abrupt halt, eyes widening as his pupils flick over the shadow-like figure in front of him. the sound of his boots squeaking against the white lino flooring of the corridor is what makes the shadow turn around and start walking towards where colby is standing.

he wanted to run and find his best friends, he really did, but he was unable to do so. his body wouldn’t move an inch, even though colby was trying his hardest in his dream to run for the hills, and his eyes scanned the figure as it got closer and closer to him, fear striking through his body. 

colby’s heaving chest and quick breathing pulls you out of your slumber immediately. sitting up in a hurry and frowning deeply to see colby’s body shaking as he dreamed. you knew you shouldn’t wake someone up when they are having a nightmare, but it pained you so much to see colby having a terrifying dream.

“colby, baby?” you say softly, trying your hardest not to startle him even more. your hands thread through his hair to help comfort him in anyway and to coax him out of his nightmare.

before the black figure could get any closer to him, colby’s eyes fly open. his chest heaves and his eyes frantically search around the room to find the figure that was in his dream. he visibly jumps in fright when he is met with your face hovering over his, causing you to frown even deeper and eyebrows to cross together in sadness.

“baby, its just me. you’re okay.” your hands carefully caress his cheeks, as if you were scared he was going to break at any moment. your eyes search his face when he squeezes his eyes shut tightly to concentrate on his breathing, trying to get his heart rate back to normal. “it’s just a nightmare, i’ve got you.”

colby could feel his eyes start to pool with water, tears of fear threatening to spill over his waterline and onto his warm cheeks, as he sits up in the bed. his hands fly around your waist, pulling you close to him as he buries his head into your neck, breathing in the scent of your body wash and shampoo to help ground himself. 

“you’re okay, colbs. it wasn’t real.” you speak, voice soft and calm, as you pepper gentle kisses to the top of his head. your arms loop around his shoulders to hold his shaking body even closer to you. “it was just a dream.” 

as he clings to your body for dear life, your fingers gingerly wander across his shoulders, drawing random shapes and patterns into his skin to help soothe him. you know it’s helping a little bit when you feel his shoulders start to relax and his breathing is less staggered.

“fuck, that felt so real.” he mumbles, voice muffled against your neck, followed by a quiet sniffle. he pulls away from your neck ever so slightly, watery eyes glancing up at you. before another tear could fall down his beautiful face, you peel one arm from around him and lift it up, wiping away the salty tear quickly, before pressing a soft kiss to his hot forehead. 

“do you want to talk about it?” you mumble against his forehead, peppering more comforting kisses to it as you know he loves it when you do this, which causes the man to smile ever so slightly, resulting your chest to fill with happiness to see his smile again. 

“no,” he shakes his head, sighing loudly of exhaustion of the night and from his nightmare. “i just want to cuddle you, if that’s okay?” 

“of course it is, baby.” you send him a warm smile, which he returns. leaning down so your lips are hovering over his, you brush your lips with his for a loving kiss, before pulling away and laying back down again. 

opening your arms fully, you watch as he leans down to rest his head into the crook of your neck, arms and legs wrapping around your body tightly, as you do the same. 

“i love you, colbs. try and get some sleep okay?” you whisper after he has gotten himself comfortable, you can feel your eyes drooping as tiredness hits you all at once, but you’re determined to stay awake until colby is fully asleep. 

“i love you more, thank you for being here for me.” he responds, leaning up to press a loving open-mouthed kiss to your jaw to show his appreciation, before resting his head back down and nuzzling his head even deeper into your neck.

“no need to thank me, bubs. it’s what i’m here for. you do the same for me.” 

silence takes over the room. colby’s deep and steady breaths fill your ears as your fingers move through his locks of purple and brunette locks, massaging his scalp tenderly. the feeling of your fingers working through his strands makes him close his eyes again, before falling into a deep sleep again, not before pressing one last kiss to the side of your neck.
