ACE OF SK8
by Marimimi14, martls
Langa moves to Japan with his mother after his father's death. He thinks it would probably be more of the same with him not having many friends. He didn't think he would meet someone like Reki. At first, he isn't sure about this new friendship, but Reki is so easy-going and cheerful. Skating with him is definitely fun. Langa thought nothing could come between them, but a certain fight changes everything.
What if spending time separated from Reki makes him realizes he wants more than be just his friend?
Follow a hurt and confused Langa who's trying to sort his feelings for his friend. It's hard when you never felt something like that before.
*New chapters will be posted every Friday*

Thank you to @nightquills on twitter for suggesting Neil's team name when my brain stopped functioning. - In the past, when they’d just begun learning to read each other, Neil’s soft tone and adoring smile would have lit a match under Andrew’s skin, made his blood boil with an unnameable anger. Now it only made his body hum, a gentle thrum of his bones that asked for nothing but want, nothing but Neil. - i just think they deserve to be soft.

Absolution
Summary:
noun: formal release from guilt, obligation, or punishment
The Capital Wasteland lauded the Lone Wanderer as a hero, a Messiah, a savior who’s willing to give her life for the Good Fight. Beyond the legends, the propaganda, and the mythification that surrounded her legacy, there is only one person who knew her bare soul. She gave him his absolution, and now he will fight for hers.
XXVI
January 12, 2278.
Good question.
Of all the operatives I was trained with, Vanth was the one who took to the program best. Our proctors will ask her to jump, and she’ll jump. If a contract holder asks her to beat a civilian up, she’ll do it without blinking. If a corrupt old pervert asks her to ride her fellow operative so he can get off, she’ll do it without remorse.
It didn’t happen just once, either.
Vanth’s just one of the many people I would’ve loved to put shotgun shells in, but I don’t think I’ll ever forget her cruelty.
Even before the first incident happened, Vanth had always been ruthless. Mag would scold me for calling her a bitch. She said that Vanth is just a product of her upbringing, made worse by the program. And yet, Mag isn’t capable of that kind of shit. Fuck, that’s the damn reason why she was designated as the medic. She’d rather keep us alive than shoot at anyone.
Vanth was different. 
If there’s anything worse than Vanth’s complacency, it was her enthusiasm in inflicting all that hurt on other people. Her cruelty comes from the hatred those responsible for the indoctrination instilled in us: hatred for the insubordinate, hatred for the Reds, hatred for anyone who doesn’t bow to the will of the United States of America and its thirteen commonwealths, and hatred for anyone different. She took all that crap and fucking internalized it.
She hated the protestors for making a mockery of the government. She hated her fellow operatives for failing where she succeeded. She hated Mag. She hated me.
That snake-eyed blonde bitch enjoyed hurting us.
Sometimes, I imagine what life would have been like if I had been as complacent and obedient as Vanth was, if Magwayen didn’t plant ideas that contradict our conditioning in my head, and if Percy didn’t come 200 years later to help me break free from the contract.
I imagine what kind of man, if I can call myself that, I would be if I didn’t have remorse, or if I didn’t have my moral code that I kept to myself, until this woman crawled out of her hole in the ground and appealed to my better nature.
I decided that I do not like that version of me.
All this time, Percy was waiting for my answer patiently, her hands folded under her chin, while she lies on top of me. I can feel her warmth and softness of her body, then I remember Ahzrukhal’s threat to her. I remember the Talon Merc’s orders.
Something dark stirs my decrepit brain.
If they had given me the order, and I had been that man who has no remorse, I would have been like Vanth.
I would have been like Stevie.
A rapist.
Percy’s rapist.
Fucking hell. That’s just sick.
Gently, I push my partner off me and sit up. I turn away from her, ashamed of the thoughts I’ve had. Her words in the hotel room in Rivet City echoes back. The fact that these thoughts disturb me and I feel disgusted at the thought of forcing myself on anyone should reassure me.
I should feel reassured that I am not like Vanth.
But I still feel like shit.
Percy wouldn’t push me to answer if I didn’t want to, I know, but given the circumstances, with Eulogy Jones exposing my past, Percy learning about my fellow operatives, and now me blurting my rapist’s name in my sleep because of a nightmare… I’m willing to pick at the scabs and the leftover bandages off of the goddamn wound.
Maybe this time, it’ll have a chance to heal properly.
“Vanth to me is what Stevie was to you.”
My throat felt dry as I confessed that. Percy seemed stunned. She didn’t say a word or move an inch, probably waiting for me to continue talking, or just taken aback by my admission.
“May 5, 2077. It was my eighteenth birthday… and our contract holder then thought that a nice fuck from my teammate would be a great birthday gift. I couldn’t get any enjoyment out of it even if my body did. I didn’t want it. But I couldn’t say no.”
“I’m sorry,” Percy whispers.
“It was centuries ago. She’s just one of many.”
“That doesn’t make it any right.”
“I know. I was afraid I’d turn out like her.”
I can hear Percy gasp in realization. “So that explains your reaction in the hotel… and how you managed to resist the Talon Merc’s orders. I’m sorry Charon. Had I known where you were coming from when we had that talk, I shouldn’t have made it all about myself.”
“Don’t apologize. I wasn’t ready to talk about it then, anyway. If you didn’t talk to me about what happened to you that night, I wouldn’t be anywhere near confronting my own problems now.”
“Okay. You were also saying my name, while you were dreaming. Big guy, what did you dream of?”
I inhaled deeply.
“I dreamed that she killed you, just as she killed Mag on the day the bombs fell, and I was underneath her again. You… you get the picture.”
Silence.
Gingerly, her fingers pressed against my sides, and she leans over, the contact feeling like a request for permission and a comforting touch at the same time. I held her hands and wrapped her arms around my chest, or at least, what their length permits. Her soft cheek against the side of my neck, the muscles and veins underneath exposed, she whispered where my ear would’ve been.
“Do you want to continue talking, or should I just hold you?”
Heartbeat hammering, my hand wanders to hers, dwarfing it, and I give it a squeeze.
“Hold me.”
“Let’s get to bed so I can do that properly, then.”
She leads me by the hand up to our bedroom, where I lie on our bed, still facing the door out of habit. Percy presses the back of my head against her chest, and she rubs little circles on my shoulder. This won’t go away overnight, but at that moment, I felt safe.
“You’re an angel, you know that?” I tell her.
“Pfft. If you were someone else, I’d have pushed you off the bed for calling me that.”
Percy drapes her arm over me, and I fall asleep listening to her heartbeat.
I didn’t have any more nightmares.
When I woke up hours later, she wasn’t beside me anymore.
Percy’s voice was muffled as she spoke to someone downstairs. I threw on proper clothes, and went down the steps.
“Percy, next time, I’d appreciate a heads up when y’all are plotting something in this town.”
“Are we in trouble, sheriff?” Percy asks.
“Let’s discuss that when you get to the saloon. See you there.”
Lucas Simms  was outside our doorstep, tipping his hat at her. Percy nods at him and closes the door.
“What did the sheriff say?”
“He needs to speak to us in the saloon. Something about the town’s security. This must be about what the slavers did to Doc Church while we were gone… Jesus what have I done?”
“Is the old man alive?”
“He is, thank God. But he’s not fine. Sheriff Simms said that it would be better if I see for myself.”
I nodded grimly. It must be bad.
“Let’s get ready. I need to pick up Dogmeat and get more winter clothes from Moira after that, too.”
Percy threw on a black shirt, then her Vault suit, followed by her jacket. She put on the cap she wore on the day I met her, grabbed her scarf on the way out, and I followed her out the house.
The tenseness came back to her shoulders. I squeezed her hand to reassure her, and she didn’t let it go.
The door to Gob’s Saloon swung open, and Dogmeat ran over to lick Percy’s face, Gob running after him. DeLoria was also there, with a few people from the Abolitionists, and Paladin Cross. Then, we were met by the townsfolk, whooping and cheering.
What the hell?
“I got you good!” Sheriff Simms exclaimed, clapping his hands. “Y'all really think we wouldn’t celebrate when a citizen of Megaton was responsible for bringing down Paradise Falls? The day you went through the gates, I knew I had a good feeling about you, girl!”
Percy’s standing stiff as a pole, eyes wide. “B-but Doc Church, and the slavers coming here and-”
“They can’t put me down that easily.” Doc Church’s voice. The old man comes into view, in crutches, one of his legs in bandages.
Percy gasps, her hands flying to her mouth. “God, Doc what have they done to your leg?”
“They mangled the hell out of my leg but the Sheriff managed to chase ‘em off before they could do anything else. Oh, don’t cry you big baby, I knew the risk when I decided to help you.”
The tenseness in Percy’s shoulders were replaced by shudders from her sobbing.
“I figured the town could use more vigilance ever since that Burke character turned up planning to blow us up. He might’ve ended up killing me if you weren’t a fast shot, too. Now, don’t you cry Percy, dear girl, you’ve done us some good again,” Simms reassures her, patting her back like a father comforting a child.
Nova comes over and pulls Percy to a corner, where she sits with Moira. Butch saunters over and before I can watch the awkwardness that followed, Simms walks over to me.
“And I suppose I owe you my thanks, too,” Simms said, extending his hand. “You’ve been a good friend to Percy. And any friend of hers is a friend of this town. Consider yourself a Megaton citizen too, Charon.”
I gave it a firm and quick shake. The sheriff didn’t recoil in disgust, and just tipped his hat afterwards.
“You kids have some fun. I can’t abandon my duties as sheriff, now.”
“Oh, c’mon Simms! Just one drink!” one of the patrons yell.
I can’t say that I feel overwhelmed by the crowd; I’ve been a bouncer in the Ninth Circle after all. I knew how rowdy people can get when they’re shitfaced. I’ve stopped brawls before. I’ve endured the obnoxious laughter and yelling.
But as I watched my partner surrounded by her friends and being celebrated by strangers from my corner, the gravity of our differences finally sank in.
Usually, when people see me, their first instinct is to stay clear, and regard me with fear or disgust. Sometimes both. When people see Percy, unless they’re raiders or slavers, they greet her, run to her for help, or check her out. Damn, I think that Bittercup kid from Big Town managed to do it all in that order.
Percy really is doing her best to do good. Half of the time, I don’t even know where she can find the motivation to stay that way in this shitsack of a world. Me? I’m just a broken old ghoul who had committed crimes that would send me straight to hell.
She told me that she’s just about to turn twenty the next month. Still so damn young to be shouldering this much responsibility, and yet here she was, organizing people to target slaver rings and doing her part in bringing clean water to the wasteland. On the other hand, I’m past two hundred, and I’m not sure how long I have before I become one of the mindless ferals.
My partner is burning bright, while my fire is slowly dying out.
The worst part is, I want her more than ever.
I shouldn’t be with her. She should be with pretty young smoothskins too.
Looks like I might have to turn her down, if she finally decides to stop waiting.
Percy has no future with me.
My train of thought was interrupted by Gob.
“Hey! Hey, everyone shut up for a moment. The news is on!”
He turned the radio’s volume up, and Three Dog’s voice flooded the room. Everyone went silent.
“News time, children!
Those scumbag Slavers way over in Paradise Falls had one big ole bee on their bonnet, and this baby knew how to sting. Gasp! But what's this? There’s not just one bee, but an entire goddamn colony, and their queen looked suspiciously like a certain kid, from a certain vault. You heard it here first, faithful listeners. The Wanderer showed up with a small army at slaver central and bad guys started dropping left and right. Reports say that among the people present are the Abolitionists Miss 101 herself assisted a few months back, a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin, and of course, her trusty Ghoul Reaper. And to top it all off, they gave us one hell of a pyrotechnics show when they fucking blew that place up to smithereens. Holy shit! Slavers of the Capital Wasteland, consider this the big ‘fuck you’ you've had coming since starting this scurrilous skin trade. What an amazing way to start the year!
What’s next? Is the Wasteland Avenger gonna give the Wasteland clean, fresh water too? Oh wait, she’s already working on that! Good job, kid! Just don’t burn yourself out, for chrissake. Keep fighting the Good Fight! The Wasteland is rootin’ for ya!
This is Galaxy News Radio and-”
“Hey! They didn’t mention me!” DeLoria cuts in, and laughter breaks out.
“If he starts calling me ‘Queen Bee’, I’m knocking his door down and stealing his headwrap. I’ve got enough embarrassing epithets already,” Percy sighs, downing a shot of scotch. Then, she turns, eyes searching, and her eyes land on me.
“Big guy! C’mon, sit next to me,” she calls out, and I obliged. Gob slides me a beer.
“It’s on the house. Consider it as thanks for getting back at those scumbag slavers for us.”
I nod and down half the bottle in a gulp.
Yeah, damn it all, I’ll celebrate, why the fuck not.
“Oh, it’s great that I finally caught you two here in Megaton!” Moira exclaims, striding towards us with a box in her hands. Goddamn. And I thought I was going to have a good night. This is the weirdo that made Percy drink atom bomb water.
“Now, I know you probably experienced it before,” she said, motioning to me after setting the box on the table. “But this is Percy’s first winter out here in the Wasteland! Here, as a show of my appreciation for getting rid of those mean slavers, I got you two some warm clothes!”
“Wow, it’s like you read my mind! Thank you so much for these, Moira.”
“No problem! Maybe we could work on a winter survival guide next?”
Panicked, I shake my head and Percy laughs.
“I think I’m going to take a break from experiments for now, Moira.”
“Oh? What’re you up to?”
“We’re gonna bring clean water to the Wasteland.”

{want to join my tag list?} {my masterlist}
When you walked through the door of Luke’s house, you were immediately engulfed in a hug from Michael. You let out a small laugh, hugging him back.
Just Michael’s presence made you feel a little better about your current dilemma.
Michael had always been the voice of reason whenever you and Calum were in the midst of an argument.
Seeing him gave you hope for a new beginning. You just wondered if it would be with Calum.
“I’m so glad you decided to come!” Michael exclaimed, pulling you to follow him to the kitchen.
“Yeah, I had a change of heart all of a sudden,” you cleared your throat, thinking back to your interaction with Calum a few hours earlier.
He looked around to make sure that no one was around to hear both of you before he stated, “Calum told me earlier today about you guys. Nothing in detail, and I’m not going to ask any questions. I just want to make sure you know that he’s here, and he’s cranky. Just be careful around him, okay? If you need anything, I’m here for you.”
You nodded, softly thanking him for the heads up. You joined the rest of the party, noticing Calum’s eyes raking over you when you walked over to him and Luke to speak.
“Hey guys,” you softly smiled at the both of them, trying not to look at Calum too long.
“Y/N! I’m so glad you made it,” Luke pulled you into a hug.
You wrapped your arms around him as you lightly laughed. “Sorry about going MIA on you. I had some…” you quickly glanced at Calum, “...things going on.”
Calum looked down at his empty beer bottle, turning it in circles.
Luke was aware of the current tension between the two of you. It was hard not to be aware when it was about to choke him out.
He’d noticed the change in each of your demeanors for the past couple weeks and figured that the two of you were no longer a thing. Michael and Calum confirmed it only thirty minutes prior to you showing up.
“Hey, Y/N,” Calum finally spoke up, noticing that you were already wearing the charm necklace he gave you a few hours prior.
“Hey, Cal, how have you been?” you swallowed the lump in your throat.
He tapped his leg as he glanced down, responding, “I could be better. Just doing what I can to survive. How about you?”
Luke slowly backed away from the conversation, giving you space to hopefully figure out how to mend each of your broken hearts.
“I’m alive. That’s about the only thing I have going for me right now,” you confessed.
It took everything in Calum’s power not to pull you close to him.
You both stood there, feelings like strangers. Neither of you knew what to say or even how to say what you felt like the other needed to hear.  
It dawned on Calum that you mentioned moving to Los Angeles soon.
“Aren’t you moving to Los Angeles soon? You were going to—“ Calum stopped, realizing that you were going to stay with him until you found an apartment of your own.
You looked down, wiping away the tears threatening to shed. “Still looking for an apartment.”
“I’m sorry,” Calum blurted, causing you to look up in confusion. His voice began to waver as he continued, “Maybe I should have invited you on tour more and this wouldn’t have happened. Maybe, if I was good enough for you, we wouldn’t be here right now. I just wish i could look at you the same, but right now—“ he paused, trying to regain his composure, “I can barely handle hearing your name or seeing you. I’m just going to go outside. Have a nice night, Y/N.” He hesitantly walked away, setting the beer bottle on the table, and shoving his hands in his pocket.
You stood there, trying to make sense of everything he said.
You tremendously screwed your relationship up and had no idea where to even start fixing it. You looked around, dumbfounded, hoping that no one heard Calum.
You slowly walked to the cooler, avoiding eye contact with everyone. You watched the tears fall to the ground as you put your hood on, reaching for a beer.
You stood there for a minute, drifting into your mind. Calum could barely look at you.
Your heart ached for him in ways you’d never felt before. You craved for him to look at you the way he once did— with adoration.
Now, the look he gave you was heart wrenching just like the words he spoke to you. It had only been a few weeks and it already started to feel like when you first met— awkward and forced.
If Calum wanted you here, why was he being so cold? Why wasn’t he trying to fix things?
You snapped out of your train of thought by yelling coming from outside. As you got closer to the door, you recognized Calum’s voice and saw Ashton through the glass door, looking like a deer in headlights.
“I fucking get it, Ash. You’re sorry. You hate that you slept with her. You can’t stand that fact that you’re part of the reason we aren’t together anymore. I get it. You feel guilty, and you just want me to tell you that it’s okay, and I forgive you. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s not going to happen. You single handedly destroyed my relationship with you and her. I never thought you would do this to me. I thought we were brothers, Ashton.”
Everyone fell silent at Calum’s outburst. Luke and Michael began to push through the crowd forming around the two, hoping that it wouldn’t get physical.
“We are brothers, Cal. I screwed up. I just don’t know how to fix it,” Ashton confessed.
Calum stalked over to Ashton, closing the space between them and spat, “You can fix it by staying out of my fucking face.” He turned to walk away, pausing to add, “You and Y/N deserve each other.”
Everyone watched as Calum walked back inside, bumping shoulders with you and headed out the front door.
All eyes feel on you as if you were supposed to know how to fix this. You felt exposed— vulnerable.
You slowly back away, mouthing an “I’m sorry” to Luke before running out to find Calum. Luke sighed and ran after you, catching you at the door.
“Let me go, Luke. I need to talk to him,” you spoke as tears rolled down your face.
“I will let you talk to him, but you need to pull it together and talk to Ashton first.”
“No! I’m not—“
“You need to clear the air with him. You both need to acknowledge it. Just have an understanding, okay?” Luke practically begged.
You nodded in agreement as Michael yelled, “Show’s over, people.”
Everyone besides you, Michael, Luke, and Ashton began to file out of Luke’s house.
You noticed Michael softly talking to Ashton and pointing at you as Luke steered you towards them.
“I’m going to find Calum. You guys just...figure it out?” Luke sighed, rubbing his temples.
You and Ashton nodded as Luke and Michael walked away to give you both space.
Ashton clear his throat as he started, “What we did was stupid. I shouldn’t have flirted with you, knowing how it would make Calum feel. I feel terrible for ruining your relationship with him and mine with him. If there was anyway I could fix it I would. I wish I could just go back to that day and just never go to that fucking bar.”
Ashton was willing to take full blame. After losing his best friend because of you, he still didn’t want to throw you under the bus. Why would he do that?
You felt bad for him. He was more worried about fixing your relationship with Calum than his own.
Any other guy would have thrown you under the bus as soon as they got a chance. Hell, Ashton had done that to other girls in the past before he matured. What made you different?
“Ash, why are you taking all the blame? We both were at fault here. Why are you trying so hard to clear my name and get Calum and I back together? Shouldn’t you be putting your friendship for the band’s sake first?” you tilted your head slightly, crossing your arms.
Ashton sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. Maybe he should just rip the bandage off and tell you. He’d suppressed his feelings for so long that he forgot what it felt like to be this close to you with the opportunity.
Yet again, he found himself at a loss for words. He couldn’t explain how you made him feel or why he still felt this way after years of seeing you with Calum.
This was the first time that you and Calum weren’t together in any way and Ashton still felt like he’d betray every ounce of trust Calum had for him— again.
“Y/N...I’m in love with you. I know that I shouldn’t be, and I know that I have the worst timing in the world. It’s just—I guess I saw an opportunity in my slightly drunk state to be with you and went for it. My dumb decision costed you and Calum a relationship.”
“Ash—“ he cut you off, continuing to talk.
“I know that you don’t feel the same. Calum makes you happier than I could even attempt. I just want to makes things right so you can be happy. I just want you to be happy, Y/N.”
“I don’t even know what to say, Ashton. I am still in love with Calum, and I will always be in love with him. I don’t want to lose you as a friend, but for Calum’s sake, I think we should dial back for a bit. I hate to break your heart, but I don’t think I could see you in that way without feeling guilty for what I’ve done to Calum.”
“I understand,” he looked down, “I just wanted to get that out there. Good luck with Calum. I hope he gives you the happy ending you deserve.” He gives you a small smile, turning around to go back outside and drink a beer.
Michael hesitantly walked in the room and asked, “How’d it go?”
You shrugged and sighed, “I’d say it went pretty well besides the fact that Ashton told me that he’s in love with me.”
Michael coughed, taking a seat on the couch. “I can’t believe he actually had the balls to tell you. He’s been on that for years.”
“Years? Are you kidding me? Why didn’t anyone tell me? Did you guys bet on when he was going to tell me or something?”
Michael laughed, “No! No, we just never thought he would since you were with Calum. I’m surprised that you didn’t notice it sooner to be honest.”
“Can we not talk about how oblivious I seem to be and talk about why Calum stormed out?” You declared.
Michael nodded, not sure how to even bring up everything going on between Ashton and Calum.
The two weeks had been straining on the band. Calum wouldn’t go anywhere near Ashton or even say a word to him when they all hung out.
Calum would make small comments under his breath about anything Ashton would do.
Luke and Michael were stuck in the position where they couldn’t say anything without the possibility of making Calum angry or just making Ashton feel worse.
Last week, Calum and Ashton stopped showing up to every outing because they didn’t want to see each other.
Michal sighed, “It’s been tough for the band lately. I don’t even know if we’ll still be a band after tonight. Luke and I are trying our best to keep it together.”
“Michael, I am so sorry. This is all my fault. I never wanted to cause so many problems between you guys. What have I done?”
Your breaths became shallow as you thought about everything you’d ruined.
Your one mistake was about to cost the people closest to you their entire career. Yet, you were blindly focusing on your broken heart.
For once, Michael couldn’t help you with it.
It was all your fault.
You burst into tears, causing Michael to quickly get up and walk over to you. He pulled you into his chest as you continued to cry.
He rubbed soothing circles in your back as he nullified the apologies escaping your lips.  
“I don’t think staying here and waiting for him is going to do you any good. You need to go home, Y/N,” Michael softly requested.
You profusely shook your head, “Calum won’t see me—he won’t talk to me if I leave.”
“We’ll get him to come and talk to you. Just go home and gather your thoughts. Take some deep breaths. I promise he will stop by,” he reassured you.
You agreed, hesitating before walking out the door and heading home.
After the short drive, you walked into your apartment and groaned at the mess. You grabbed a garbage, picking up the last four weeks off of the floor and hoped that Calum would stay one more night.
After a few hours of tidying up, you plopped onto the couch, racing through the thoughts in your mind.
Where did he go?
•••
Every night I almost call you just to say it always will be you
Wherever You Are

My Top Post in 2021
hi! did something just happen to supernatural/destiel (again)? I have the feeling something did happen and I missed it?
Yes it did nonny! I only just caught up myself since I was at work at the time. There’s a con going on, idk where. But Destiel must clearly be off the do not ask list. Because Misha is FEEDING us. Not fully let off his leash, but giving more details about like Castiel being in denial of his feeling for so long, and how freeing the confession was. But the Destiel of note was Misha saying how important it was that Dean, this macho man’s man, didn’t reject Cas. That Cas “saw love in his eyes.” Scroll through my page, I’ve reblogged Twitter threads and a video @minxyone93 sent me of the panel.
