#dear evan hansen drabble

[pinklemonslices]

give me drabble ideas :3

[nothingunrealistic]

24, alana & jared?

24. “Should I call my lawyer?”

Alana tracks him down during lunch in a dusty corner of the library. It was, Jared will admit, a tactical error to hide out here knowing it’s her go-to study spot as well as Connor Project HQ, but his English paper won’t finish itself in the next ninety minutes, and the drama classroom at lunchtime isn’t conducive to doing one’s homework even when one isn’t on the outs with half the drama club, and they took his key to the control booth when he quit tech for the fall play. Really, he had no choice.

“Jared,” Alana says. She looks tired. Sounds like it, too. “You’ve read the emails between Evan and Connor, right?”

Has he ever. “Skimmed ‘em,” Jared says. “Three out of five stars. Great pathos, but too repetitive. ‘Dear Evan Hansen, my parents just don’t understand me.’ ‘Dear Connor Murphy, look at this tree and you’ll feel better.’ Why, is there gonna be a pop quiz?”

Alana frowns. He wonders if she’s offended by his irreverence about the emails and expects him to quote them like Torah verses. Then she pulls out a chair and sits down, slowly, and he thinks there’s a fire drill happening before realizing it’s the alarm bells going off in his head.

“Was there anything in them that didn’t make sense to you?”

Fuck. “Like what?” Jared says, then kicks himself for not just saying no, not really and ending the conversation.

“Like…” Alana digs out her phone. “The emails from June say that’s when Evan broke his arm. He and Connor talk about it a lot. But Evan still had a cast in September.”

“So?”

“Broken arms only take two months to heal on average.”

Damn Evan and his inability to stick to a story. Jared had insisted they nail down a timeline somewhere around the tenth email to avoid exactly this, but he’s had a million chances to go off-script, at the Murphys’ house or Connor Project meetings or fucking Instagram. “So he’s not average. Maybe it was a really gnarly break that took three months to heal because he fell from thirty feet up. Or maybe he has brittle bone disease.”

“Jared, this is serious.”

“Osteogenesis imperfecta is very serious. Jodi Picoult —”

“Evan didn’t have a cast in June,” Alana bursts out. “I remember. We were still in school.”

Shit, fuck, and goddamn it. “Did you even know he was alive then?”

“Of course I did. I saw him all the time. And you were with him a lot.” Oh, this is bad. This is DEFCON 5 bad. Or DEFCON 1, whichever is the worst one. “Don’t you remember?”

“Is this an interrogation? Should I call my lawyer?” He’s depleted his arsenal of deflections and distractions. Only one weapon remains: bald-faced lies. “I don’t remember when he got a cast. I didn’t write those emails. I don’t know why you’re asking me about any of this when he’s still walking around.”

“I just…” Alana, amazingly, deflates, rather than pushing back even harder. “I was thinking about all the people watching us. Putting their faith in us. Trusting us with their money. I wanted to know if anyone else was seeing what I was seeing. And I really don’t want to be wrong.”

He won’t feel bad about this. He will not. “Well —”

“But you’re right.” Alana gets up. “I should have asked Evan. I will, the next chance I get.”

“Did I say that?” Jared asks — rhetorically, it turns out; she’s already walking away, braids swishing.

He hasn’t seen Evan since homecoming, hasn’t said a word to him, hasn’t wanted to, and Evan hasn’t tried to break that silence. Should he break it to warn Evan that Alana’s finding the holes in their story — Evan’s story — and headed his way to pry it open?

Really, does Evan deserve it?

I love playlist Drabble games! Can you do any or all or some of the following?

21, 75, and 136

Hiii!!!! Thank you for the prompt! this was my first time doing multiple so this was a lot of fun to think of.

After looking up the corresponding songs, I ended up only doing 21 and 75 because I felt like they worked so well together with the idea formulating in my head

Also, you didn't specify a lovesquare side, so I just ended up going with Adrinette, I hope that's okay!

Anyways, Song #21 was Stop and stare by One Republic and Song #75 was Obvious from the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack

So this prompt ended up being a partial identity reveal, and yeah, hope you enjoy!

Something Pulls My Focus Out, and I'm Standing Down

Adrien had often marveled at how the simplest, most discrete, most rapid of moments, could have the power to change everything. 

Like, how a split-second decision to stop and tie his shoe, so as not to risk him tripping while he ran off back to class after an akuma attack, led him to… here.

He hadn’t meant to stop here, and if he had known that she would have used the otherwise empty locker room to detransform, he never would have left the boy’s bathroom.

But of course, he hadn’t known. And so, here he was. 

Here he was staring, no. gaping, open-mouthed, his frozen legs feeling like jelly, while the girl he loved, the girl who’s name had captured the every beat of his heart, transformed into one of his nearest and dearest friends.

A friend who was likely afraid of him.

Wincing internally at the slight hitch to his plans of future weddings and children and hamsters, Adrien instead chose to focus on the flood of information that was rapidly filling his brain.

Memories of spending time with Ladybug, as both himself and his masked counterpart, memories of getting to know Marinette as Adrien and of hanging out with her as Chat Noir, all weaved together to form a tapestry of sorts. 

Her kindness towards their classmates melded together with the sensitivity she had for akuma victims. Her bravery as a hero facing the unknown mixed together with her courage at standing up for others. Her creativity in crafting and sewing projects formed together with her resourcefulness amidst battle scenes. All of her traits and quirks and isms morphed themselves into one girl, a girl who was clever and beautiful and good and full of everything that made the world good and pleasant. 

When he thought of it, Marinette being Ladybug was the most obvious thing in the world. 

Adrien felt himself falling even deeper in love with her.

He watched as she fed her kwami and a dull voice echoing in his mind signaled that it would be wise for him to move, but he could not. He was rooted to the spot.

Stuck in place as he was, when Marinette eventually did look up, her gaze lined up exactly with his. 

Her eyes widened to a degree that looked painful and her mouth opened and closed, her voice apparently at a loss for words. 

“Umm Ahhh… A–Adrien?!” She asked in a flustered tone. “What are you doing here? H-how long have you been standing there?”

Adrien licked his lips and cleared his throat, which had become painfully dry. 

“Umm… A-a while. Long enough.”

“Sooo… you saw…”

Adrien gave a sharp nod of his head in response. 

Immediately the shock gripping the countenance and figure of Marinette turned into a tumultuous cocktail of fear, uncertainty, humiliation, and defeat. 

She curled in on herself and balled her fists up anxiously, the look in her eye was something fearing the worst, and she gnawed on her bottom lip helplessly.

The sharp pain at watching her in distress, became too much for him and was the impetus to finally get him out of his stupor.

Finding walking too tedious at a time like this, he all but ran across the room to where Marinette stood, ready and keen to console her. 

“Marinette,” He said, grabbing her shoulders and waiting until she met his eyes. “It’s going to be okay.”

“But…but how do you know that?” She asked, her voice breaking.

“Because I know you. You always know just what to do and what to say, with you I just know that it’s all going to work out. And also…I’m here for you, you won’t have to go through this alone. If you don’t want to of course.” He added the last part bashfully.

Adrien saw the minutest lessening of fear in her eyes and felt the smallest decrease in the tension in her arms, but it was progress, so he couldn’t complain.

Still, Marinette’s face looked pensive. Curious at the expression, he inquired further.

“What is it?”

Marinette seemed to hesitate before answering, then reluctantly gave into whatever was bothering her, for she started to speak. 

“You-you’re not disappointed?”

“Disappointed? What do you mean?”

“I don’t know, I just figured that finding out that Ladybug is just some normal girl that you know, must be kind of disappointing. It must ruin some of the mystique or something.”

At this Adrien chuckled.

“Firstly Marinette, you are anything but ‘some normal girl’,” He watched her smile at this. “You are one of the most incredible people I have ever met. Honestly, of all the people I know, it’s you who is ‘our everyday ladybug’” He said, giving her a playful nudge. She looked down as her cheeks bloomed into a pretty flush.

“Honestly, the similarities between you and Ladybug are so glaringly obvious, it’s a wonder I didn’t figure it out earlier. But to answer your earlier question, no. I am not disappointed, in fact the admiration and lo– um and respect that I had for both Ladybug and Marinette has grown exponentially since finding out you were one and the same.”

He took her hands in his, and her gaze locked to his, the heady blue of her eyes swirled with an emotion unknown to him, but still managed to knot his stomach up with butterflies. 

“It is an honor to get to know your secret.”

Marinette bit her lip once more, but this time there was shyness to the action. Adrien couldn’t help but marvel at how pretty she looked with her pink-dusted cheeks and bright eyes.

Wanting to draw her into talking, her voice honey to his hungry ears, he became the first to break their silence.

“What are you thinking about now?”

“I’m just kind of worried about what Chat Noir will say. I know he really wanted to find out my identity first.”

Adrien couldn’t stop the gleeful smile from spreading across his face. “Oh, do I have something to tell you.”

I came to rant at you because you understand the pain :')

IS IT NORMAL TO GRIEVE THE DEATH OF A FICTIONAL CHARACTER LIKE THIS?????

I kill off characters for funsies in my fanfics all the time, and sure yeah I cry- those are my blorbos- but it never went that far o_o

But I guess the difference here is I don't have full control over whether they're going to Disney-style resurrect themselves through the power of love or not...

I'm trying desperately to finish the Animatronic Heaven thing (it's an actual story this time, rather than just a skit) and it's almost done, but last night I was full on SOBBING-

Not just the quiet sniffles like when I hurt other blorbos- no, it was full on "Cheeto making squeaky noises at 2:30am because the pain was too real"

I had a knot in the pit of my stomach all day yesterday, and I guess listening to "For Forever" from Dear Evan Hansen while imagining Moon singing it about Solar- was too much for my smol brain ._.

Long story short, I'M DEFINITELY COPING YEP DEFINITELY COPING TOTALLY COPING HBU??? :D

hopefully a healing story coming y'all's way shortly, if I can stop grieving long enough to write it 🤣😭

might end up being a 2 parter story

*squeak*

(Late answer haha apologies was busy in dreamland)

I- I DON'T KNOW??? This- I literally cried to myself while rewriting Solar's last moments for a quick drabble with Deleted!Solar 😭 It- it hurts so goddamn much if's unreal... I LITERALLY HAVE A MAJOR CHAR DEATH PLANNED FOR ONE OF MY AUS AND- AND NONE OF IT HURTS AS MUCH AS THIS???? Like- that splorpo's NOT coming back, any i'm OKAY with that?? WHAT ARE THESE DOUBLE STANDANRDS

I saw you tagged me in the post with Animatronic Heaven so! I'll shimmy away to read through that haha!

WB ME??? UHMMMM- FRIENDS CAN VOUCH FOR ME AND SAY I WAS A MESS LAST NIGHT LMFAO WHILE- while writing the Deleted!Solar thing... IT HURT (and I'm still not done AAAAH)

[sothetherogue]

Dear Evan Hansen found me.

So now that the tour is closing as well, I’ve been kind of reflecting on why I enjoy Dear Evan Hansen so much. Why it was a show, out of all of the shows I’ve been fortunate enough to see, I connected with so much. So. Here are some incoherent drabbles on it from me.

The first, and probably most obvious thing, is that for much of High School – I felt like Evan. Like I was kind of always on the outside looking in, just hoping that someone would want to include me in what they were doing. I’ve long since left HS but in a way I often still feel that way. I always feel like for a lot of people I am their afterthought. Family, friends, work – I’m the guy no one is thinking “Oh he has to be there!” I just get tossed the pity invite when they remember. Is a lot of that in my head? Yeah probably – But hey Anxiety really make a fool of me.

I spent a lot of time around that age, and even to an extent now, wishing I had more friends. I spent time playing World of Warcraft and imagining what it would be like to have a group of friends to go to a dance with, thinking what it would be like if I could built up the courage to talk to a guy I liked. In college I spent a lot of time thinking the friends I was with were just too polite to tell me to leave. A lot of that carries with me now. Just waiting for the moment everyone decides I have overstayed my welcome and asks me to leave. Always planning out interactions in the hope of making sure they go well do that people will like me. Just – I really saw myself in him as a character.

In a way, I also had my own big lie that I was telling to everyone. Obviously, a very different lie, but one that shaped everything around me and eventually came crashing down. I’ve known I was gay for a really long time. There were a lot of mistakes made around it – but growing up in the Lutheran School system, telling people was just something I felt could never do. There are a lot of moments from my life that I feel were taken from me because I’d either step out of the sun, or hit the breaks before I turned the key.

I know DEH isn’t a “Coming out” story in that sense, but the way it paralleled my own life is something I can’t stop thinking about. Having a mom who always tried to do her best for me, but because she didn’t actually know the support I needed ended up coming up short? It’s scary how similar it was. I even went to therapy for a time, but it was Christian based therapy. I’m not knocking it as a concept – but the thing that was bringing me down I couldn’t talk about SO….it didn’t help. And the lie I told everyone, that I convinced myself was true as well because I wanted it to be true for so long. I pretended to be straight, date girls, do all the things so that no one would know how “Broken” I was deep down. How broken I found myself. Everything seemed fine on the surface, but deep down I was really hurting.

When I heard “Words Fail” I was reminded so much of when I finally started to admit the truth to myself and other people. I didn’t know how to say it, and usually was just reduced to tears. The lyrics

This was just a sad invention

It wasn't real, I know

But we were happy

I guess I couldn't let that go

I guess I couldn't give that up

I guess I wanted to believe

'Cause if I just believe

Then I don't have to see what's really there

No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts

Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am

'Cause then I don't have to look at it

And no one gets to look at it

No, no one can really see

'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake

Before I even turn the key

Before I make the mistake

Before I lead with the worst of me

I never let them see the worst of me

'Cause what if everyone saw?

What if everyone knew?

Would they like what they saw?

Or would they hate it too?

Will I just keep on running away from what's true? .....

Like. They might as well have just held a mirror up to my face.

I had told some people before I ever told anyone in my family. To be honest, telling my mom was not how I wanted it to go. It was similar to Heidi and Evan too. We were in a fight about something silly. I had forgotten to get something out of my trunk she needed and drove to work with it. I remember sitting in my desk at 9 am sobbing because this was it. This was how I was going to tell her. I finally texted her the words “I’m gay” and that pretty much shut down the rest of the day for me. I called my friend Lily in the stairwell – I don’t even know if I got coherent words out to her – Before I drove home and laid in bed catatonic for 6 hours until my mom got home. All of this culminated in our own “So Big / So Small” moment – And while I don’t think she handled it perfectly (Not mad BTW) it was a turning point for me.

I could finally stop pretending I was someone else in the hopes that people would like the persona I had created, and not the one that was real that I wanted to hide. I was me. And that was enough. It was time to step in to the sun.

When I finally saw the play in 2021 I was immediately taken with it for the above reasons and more. It was another catalyst for me to start making changes in my life, as I realized I was still not being the full me – and I have been changing that. I have been fortunate enough to see the tour 4 separate times, and every time I see something new and while it is sad it is ending, it will be something I always remember.

So – when I say this play meant a lot to me I really mean it. I might have taken something from it completely different from someone else – and I wish I had found it so much sooner, but thank you Dear Evan Hansen for finding me.

prompt 49

49. “Why do you insist on it?”

Dear Evan Hansen,

At the new facility. They took my phone at intake. So much for “tranquility.” I’m typing on my suitemates’ secret iPhone 6. They let me borrow it if I agreed to suck —

“Really?”

“What?” Jared pouts. It might work better if it wasn’t over FaceTime, on Evan’s secondhand iPhone, propped up against his thirdhand laptop. “I was going to say ‘suck eggs for their grandmas.’”

“No, you weren’t.”

“Whatever.”

Hey, before I go, I wanted to know: did you check with Jared Kalwani — the genius sound tech Jared Kalwani — to see if he can hang out? ‘Cause I have no doubt he’d be a great friend to me too —

“Okay, no, Jared.” Evan hits Ctrl-A and deletes the half-written email. “That doesn’t work.”

“That was a literary masterpiece. How does it not work?”

“Well, the rehab stuff is, it’s too depressing.”

“Yeah. It’s rehab.”

“The Murphys won’t want to read it. And you can’t keep trying to write yourself in. This is, like, the third time.”

“Why do you insist on it being all shiny happy codependency? Your friendship was so special and perfect that he didn’t even want to talk to anyone else?”

“Yes. That’s the story. We were best friends. I was his only friend.” Evan scratches his left arm, no longer broadcasting the best possible proof of that story. “You can’t just change it.”

“Uh-huh.” Jared’s eyes move over him, and Evan can tell he saw the scratching. “You do remember how this story ends, right?”

“What do you mean?”

“Evan,” Jared says. “Dude. Connor’s dead. And it’s not because his life was going great. Everyone knows that.”

“So?”

“So people will expect to read the tormented musings of a guy in a downward spiral. Not rainbows and butterflies and tree facts to the very end. Maybe they haven’t thought of it yet, but they’ll get there.”

“That’s awful.”

“That’s the human condition. Rubbernecking and being glad it’s not you.”

“Just because you decided to put the emails online —”

“Because Alana told me to, after you begged me to run the Connor Project website —”

“It’s not that simple, okay? Things are messy and complicated, it’s, recovery is nonlinear —”

“Oh, good, someone’s reading the Mental Health Resources page after all. And here I told our glorious co-founder it was a waste of server space.”

“I just want to help the Murphys,” Evan says. That’s all he’s wanted to do, from the moment Mrs. Murphy first mentioned the orchard. It has to be. “That’s the point of all this. I don’t care what people online think.”

“You mean the people giving you all that money to build an orchard for Connor? You’re sure you don’t care what they think? Only about cheering up your fake family and your very real girlfriend?”

“I told you, we’re not — Zoe and I are just friends.”

“Totally. You’ve got a lot of friends these days.”

“Yeah,” Evan says. “It’s pretty nice. You should try it.”

Jared vanishes from the call, and Evan is left staring at the empty Google Doc on his laptop and his own reflection in his phone screen. Alone.

Until Zoe’s texts come in.

Larry is making dinner tonight

His cooking is actually edible

That sounds great

Not that I don’t like your mom’s cooking, but you know

Yeah, I know

See you soon

connor x reader drabble

9. “Quit it or I’ll bite.”

Connor pulled his finger away and made an exaggerated sad face. He’d recently realized how cute you looked when he booped your nose, and he’d started doing it every thirty seconds when you were cuddling. “I know you’re trying, but I can’t be intimidated when you’re just so-“ He interrupted himself to poke you again, and true to your word, you snapped at his finger. “Ow!” “I warned you.” He wiped his finger on your shirt and kissed your forehead. “Shut up.”

14. “Take. It. Off.”

You giggled and pulled the mask off, smiling at Connor, who was shakily laughing. He hated clowns. The fact that this particular clown mask had fangs and fake blood dripping down it probably didn’t help. “What, you don’t think it’s cute?” He grabbed it from your hand by its orange hair, looked at it for a second, then tossed it aside. “We’re gonna burn that thing and send it to hell where it belongs.”

1. “The skirt is supposed to be this short.”

“Really?” Connor was staring intently at your ass. Not that that was uncommon, but he was more quizzical than usual. “Yeah. It’s Halloween. I get to dress like this.” He stood up and started walking towards you. “Babe?” “Yeah?” At this point, his hands were around your lower back and his face was inches from your neck. “Not right now.” He pouted. “Why not?” “Because we’re not having sex in a Party City dressing room, babe.” You kissed him demurely on the cheek. “Okay,” he sighed, turning to leave. He stopped himself. “Do me a favor?” “Yeah?” Connor smirked at you. “Turn around?” You rolled your eyes. “When we get home, babe.”

29. “Come over here and make me.”

You didn’t think he was actually going to. It was a school night, so you were easing your way into a session of sexting Connor when he told you to take something off. And, playfully, you’d dared him to come over, and instead of his usual “damn I wish” he replied with “be there in 15.” That was twelve minutes ago. You sat in your underwear on the bed, watching him roll down the street, headlights off, and park silently. He didn’t speak until he’d crawled in through the window and stood, taking in your state of dress. “Take something off.”

Omegle (Jared Kleinman x Reader)

Warnings: none

Request: Idk if this is stupid or not but I randomly thought of Jared x reader where they're both bored so they go on omegle and end up being put together and they're surprised at first but then they really get to know each other more than just people who go to the same school ya know and fluff fluff fluff!

——————————————

Another Friday night at home, alone, with no plans or friends to hang out with. You scrolled through Snapchat and watched stories, seeing the parties happening right now that you weren’t cool enough to be at and seeing which friends of yours were hanging out at the moment without you. Closing out of the app you sighed and pulled your laptop into your lap, pulling up YouTube and going through your subscriptions, even though you already did that an hour ago and their were no new videos uploaded since then. You clicked through your bookmarked tabs in an effort to find something to do when you were brought to Omegle. It’s been a while since you’ve messed around on here, you’ve decided, so so start typing in tags for different artists you liked and video games you played. Grabbing your headphones and plugging them in and setting them comfortably on your ears, you clicked the start chatting button and adjusted your laptop’a camera angle and the mic on your headphones. The first person you met was a kid who looked to be about seven. You exited from talking to him, not wanting to spend your night talking to a random kid who’s parents don’t monitor their computer time enough. Another video chat was generated, and you were met with an acne-faced girl with cliche blue fringe. You saw you had an interest in All Time Low in common. The two of you chatted for a while until she left out of nowhere, leaving you to move on to another stranger. The next stranger didn’t have a face, and so the camera was panned to his fully erect dick. You clicked to exit that chat quicker that you had for anything. Hesitantly, you gave it another shot and the camera opened to a familiar face.

“Hey, do I know you?” You said immediately. The boys face twisted in confusion before lighting up slightly.

Stranger is typing...

Hey! Yeah, bio class, Mr. Whitney...

Stranger is typing...

Gimme a sec and I’ll get my mic on

He left the screen for a moment as he reached down to grab what you assumed was a pair of headphones with a mic attached. You were correct, as you watched him unplug his earbuds and replace them with the bulkier headphones, adjusting the mic angle before pressing a button on his computer before you heard the subtle static and the sound of his high pitched voice.

“Hey, can you hear me?” He asked, you confirming by giving him two thumbs up.

“Yup, Hey, it’s Jared right?”

Jared nodded, “Yeah, and your name is... Y/N?” You nodded, too enthusiastically you decided and cringed slightly. “So, no big Friday night parties or orgies you have planned?” He asks, laughing somewhat evilly afterwards.

You giggle, “Not this Friday, I’m not much of a party gal anyway, but next Friday I do have an orgy so if you planned on coming back every Friday at the same time in order to find me again, you’re out of luck,” you shrug and grin at him while he laughs again and sarcastically slaps his knee and snaps.

“Well damn, there goes that plan, guess I’ll have to just stick with seeing the back of your head in bio class every day.”

“What a shame, I know you were really looking forward to seeing me every Omegle trip and getting a break from the faceless dicks.”

“I mean your face is an upgrade after the micropenis I just ran into.” You giggle and blush slightly despite knowing it was just a simple joke, not that Jared could see your blush anyway through the crappy webcam.

“So what about you, Mr. Kleinman, no parties for you on this Friday night?” You tease back to him.

He shakes his head, “I don’t know if you know this about me, but I don’t really get invited to parties. I think it’s because they know I’ll be too wild for their middle school level parties anyway.”

“Oh I’m sure that’s the reason,” you chuckle back.

“Are you doubting that I’m a badass, hardcore, part goer!?” He speaks with mock offense.

“I don’t know, am I?” You reply with a similar mocking tone, “Now, would I do such a thing?”

“Yes, you most definitely would do such a thing!” He lets out an obnoxious laugh, “I’ll have to show you a good time someday, show you that I am a party animal.”

You smile back to him through the screen, “I think I’d like that, tiger,” you giggle, questioning where ‘tiger’ came from but rolling with it anyway. He growled and pawed with his hand in response, cringing at his own actions as you had your words. The both of your burst out in laughter afterwords, doubling over and wiping tears from your eyes.

”Man, that almost makes my calling you ‘tiger’ not cringy.“

”Oh, shush, that was still cringy.“ The two of you laugh and talk for what feels like minutes but is in actuality hours. Your conversation doesn’t stop until you notice the sky changing colors outside your window and check the time.

”Holy shit, did we talk all night? It’s like four in the morning, god I’m gonna be tired all day,“ you groan but still giggle at the fact that the two of you had a conversation about memes for the past hour.

”As much as I really would love to stay and chat,“ you say reluctantly, ”I really should get at least a couple hours of sleep before it’s too late and I have to go through my Saturday with no sleep.“ Jared face drops slightly in genuine disappointment.

”Okay, but at least give me your number, we can continue this conversation sometime.“ He’s awkward when he asks, and it’s clear that he’s making an attempt to flirt but you’re oblivious to it. You read off your number to him and he takes it down in his phone, yours dinging a moment later.

You give him a tired grin and yawn, ”Good night, Jared, or, good morning, rather.”

You both giggle, ”Good night.“ he replies and you close out of the site, shutting your laptop and placing it on your desk before crawling back into bed. You grab your phone to open the message you got from Jared, seeing it was a meme that you declared was one of your favorites earlier in the evening. You smile, adding his name to a new contact under the name Jare with a robot emoji and a blushing smiley face emoji.

"beautiful" — tommy jarvis (friday the 13th: the game)

[Name] adoringly looked at the man sleeping beside him. One of his hands lazily playing the sleeping man's hair as he softly smiled.

"God... you're so beautiful," [Name] softly muttered. There was a gleam of amusement in his [Eye color] eyes when he saw the supposed sleeping man beside him smile.

"Well... God made me beautiful," Tommy had said as he crack one eye open to see his lover's amused face. "Unlike you, he fucked up."

[Name] laughed at Tommy's words as he leaned close to the other man and placed a soft kiss on Tommy's forehead.

"Shut up, dork."

"together" — connor murphy (dear evan hansen)

Connor rolled his eyes, plucking the cigarette off from [Name]'s lips and instead put it on his, he took a puff. "Didn't think to find you here," he had said. [Name] shrugged.

"Had to get away," [Name] grunted as Connor plopped beside him on the table he was occupying outside 7/11.

There was silence between the two. After awhile, Connor laid his head on [Name]'s shoulder.

"You think we'll survive this shit?" Connor asked as [Name] let out a dry chuckle.

"No," [Name] had said as he laid his head on Connor's. "But who cares? We're together."

"cute" — kieran duffy (red dead redemption 2)

Kieran let out a surprised gasp when [Name] hauled him up by his legs. Kieran instinctively wrapped them around [Name]'s as his back was pressed on the solid wood of the tree.

"[N]... [Name]!" Kieran squeaked as he then immediately clamped one of his hands on his mouth to prevent any noises leaving them as [Name] entered inside him.

The said man merely chuckled at his actions and placed a soft kiss on his cheek as his lips were hidden by his hand.

"Sorry," [Name] half-heartedly apologized as he squeezed Kieran's thigh. "But you're too cute, mi amor."

"secret" — javier escuella (red dead redemption 2)

"Lo que digas gilipollas," Javier had said. [Name], who was near Javier couldn't help but snort as he rolled his eyes.

"Muy divertido, mi amigo," [Name] said, patting Javier on the back as Javier turned to look at him. Surprised Javier was until he remembered that [Name] knew Spanish, making Javier grin.

"Olvidé que hablas español," Javier had honestly said as [Name] shrugged. Not minding the annoyed glance from the man who came to them and insulted Javier.

"A veces yo también," [Name] chuckled. "De todos modos, ¿quieres insultar a este hijo de puta?" [Name] asked.

Javier grinned. "¡Por supuesto!"

"smells like you" — newt scamander (fantastic beasts and where to find them)

Newt smiled when he saw the potion on his cauldron was well. Newt could smell something nice. The potion was Amortentia which he brewed from curiosity.

The smell of musk, new parchment and the forest is what Newt had picked up. And something... something Newt can't quiet put place.

Eyebrows furrowed, Newt tried to remember what that smell was. He swore the scent was familiar.

The aroma was the woody smell of a broomstick handle. A thing he remembered a close friend of his carried with.

Newt's face flushed as he realized who it was. It smells like [Name].

[mrsseverussnape]

Heyya!! Congratulations on your 200 folowers!! And tbh I really love your writings <3. Anyway I was wondering if you could do severus × reader based on this song? Maybe it started post-war and Severus is alive and still being a potion professor and the reader is Sev's childhood friends and just become a professor too? And then the reader finds out that Sev's is different between in class and socializing and then they grew fond to each other until both of them has feeling for each other but Severus insecured. At the end they confessed to each other and having a love making? Sorry if I'm asking too much. Love you and take care <3

A/n: Hiii! Thank you so much lovely!💖💖 I tried to write what you requested but i didn’t write a love making scene. I don’t write smut, i want to give it a try but today wasn’t the day... and this fanfic is little bit longer than i anticipated it + i didn’t do proofreading since it took me 3 days to write and i was over it😂

Characters: Severus Snape x reader

Theme: Fluff i guess?

Only Us

This would be the year of a fresh beginning for everyone in the wizarding world. The big and devastating war was in the past now but its effects were still visible in people’s eyes, there were so many lost loved ones. But life was going on and it had to be lived fully none the less. You were working in the Ministry of Magic as a curse-breaker when the war took place and say the least you were quite affected by what happened in the Ministry. Because of that you have quitted from your job after the war but you weren’t sure how wise was your new decision; you wanted to leave the Ministry because some part of the war happened there but then you applied for DADA professor position at Hogwarts which you have been accepted. And you were quite excited for this new chapter of your life, hopefully this time story would end happily.

You stood in front of the Great Hall before you walked in; you remembered your first day at Hogwarts. You felt the same excitement you had 27 years ago. You took a deep breath and entered the big hall; it was just as you remembered it, someone wouldn’t guess there was a war just 5 months ago. While you were walking to your seat, your eyes fell on the black haired man in full black clothes. You knew him, not from the newspaper articles about him after the war tho. Your history went way back, you were childhood friends. Severus’s father had worked for your dad as a gardener and sometimes he brought Severus with him as well to teach him the job, that was how you two have met. Your friendship continued until the graduation from Hogwarts, you and Severus had chosen different paths and eventually you lost connection. But when you read about how he almost died at the war, your heart dropped. You wanted to talk to him since then but you didn’t know how since you didn’t have his address or anything. But there he was, you thought he would retire after the war and his injuries. Severus didn’t notice your gaze at all, he was talking to Professor Flitwick and you didn’t want to interrupt them. You had plenty of time to talk, you could try your chance tomorrow.

How wrong you were… It has been a whole month and you still couldn’t talk with Severus; it was not on you though, he was literally avoiding you. You didn’t want to take it so personal since it seemed like he was talking to only Professor McGonagall and Flitwick, and to the students only when he needed to teach them… But you were persistent and you had that plan on your mind; it was Saturday and most of the students and the professors were off to Hogsmade. You have found out that Severus never goes to this trip after what happened in the Shrieking Shack… So when people went out, you went to the kitchens to prepare some snack. When you were all done, you took the blueberry muffins you made and headed to Severus’s room. Panic washed over you before you knocked on the door, sometime later the door cracked open and Severus looked at the uninvited guest with an annoyed expression but you felt like it kind of softened when he noticed it was you.

“I made blueberry muffins that you used to love! Hope you still do…” You smiled softly while looking at the muffins and then at him. You loved to bake and every Saturday you were baking those muffins when you were at Hogwarts.

“I never had any after the graduation…” he mumbled.

“Oh poor you, you must have missed them!” you spoke dramatically. “I thought we can have a chat and eat the muffins, we couldn’t talk and I would like to catch up.”

Severus thought for a while then opened the door little bit more so you could enter.

You sat in silence for some time and ate the muffins, it wasn’t an awkward silence but you wanted to talk with him.

“You didn’t miss me a bit after all these years? You don’t even look at me, have I aged that bad?” you joked, tried to break the ices.

“No, no.”Severus protested immediately, you were still as beautiful as when you were younger for him. He was just feeling little bit ashamed that he never tried to reach for you and adding to that he completely avoided you for a month. “It is just… I am not the same person you knew before…”

“People change Severus, that’s one of the games of life. And when I look at you I see a brave man who risked his own life for the sake of the wizarding world.”

“That same man couldn’t save some people, made wrong decisions, had to watch people getting tortured and couldn’t stop the torturer, had to kill…” Severus was squeezing his hands until his knuckles turned white.

You rested your hand on top of his to comfort him, this touched startled him at first but he didn’t make any moves and slowly relaxed under your touch.

“I don't need more reminders of all that's been broken and you neither Severus. I don't need you to fix what I'd rather forget. Clear the slate and start over, you could have died there Severus but you didn’t. Don’t spend this chance regretting about the things you have done or haven’t in the past. You have one life and you should live it in the best way possible. Try to quit the noises in your head.”

“It is easy to say these things but put them on action is not Y/N.”

“I know how it is, I have been there too Severus. But I am here to help you if you let me.”

Severus gave you a confused look, he didn’t understand why you would be in such a state. Probably you were the happiest person he knew. You got his confusion and decided to tell what you went through.

“About 8 years ago, my husband of 5 years decided to divorce me all of a sudden. He said; he doesn’t love me anymore and he doesn’t want to do anything with me and our daughter who was 2 at the time. And he just left, I have never seen him since then. Of course I blamed myself for a long time about everything but then I realized this won’t help me or my daughter at all so I opened a new, clean page of my life.”

“I- I am sorry Y/N…” Severus couldn’t know what to say about the things he just heard. But he was amazed at the power you held when you told these to him, you were such a strong woman.

“Don’t be sorry, I and Melodie are better off without him.” You smiled proudly. “I better go, I need to mark some papers. And I hope you won’t avoid me anymore, I missed my friend.” You patted his shoulder before you left the room. Severus sat there and got lost in his thoughts.

Past 5 months you and Severus built your friendship back up slowly but steadily. You were having walks between the classes, marking papers together and laughing at the funny answers the students wrote and of course you were having many muffin and tea parties together. During Christmas holidays you invited Severus over to celebrate it with you and your daughter. He was hesitant at first but he accepted eventually and say the least Severus and Melodie got along well. It was funny to see the grumpy and anti-child professor to interact with your daughter in a totally different way. It was visible that Severus was getting better when times went by and you were happy to see those changes. But there was another change which made you scared in a way; your feelings were changing towards him. Were you falling for him? You guessed so. You knew he sees you as a friend still and nothing more but you needed to take this out of your chest. It was February which means Valentines Day was on the way. So you decided to give him something and ask him to be your valentine for the ball. And if his reaction was bad, you would easily lie and say you meant it in a friendly way just for the ball. Well you couldn’t put your plan on the action until the last day because you were way to anxious but finally on the 14th you collected your courage. You baked a small heart shaped cake and wrote “be my valentine” on top with icing and made your way to his room. You held your breath until he opened the door and invite you in, he took a look at you then the cake you were holding. His eyebrow arched in surprise and looked at you for an answer.

“It is what it is.” You chuckled nervously. “What do you say…?”

“Why me? You could find someone better Y/N… I am n-“

“No Severus. I don't need you to search for the proof that I should, you don't have to convince me, you don't have to be scared you're not enough.” You put the cake on the closest dresser so you could hold his hand. “What if it’s you? And what if it’s us?”

“Is that what you really think? Are you sure about your feelings…?”

“I am being 100% honest with you Severus, that is how I feel.”

“If you like me for me and nothing else. Well, that's all that I've wanted for longer that you could possibly know.” Severus moved closer to you and wrapped his arm around your waist while holding your hand with the other still.

“So it can be us.” You gave him a excited smile.

“And only us.” Severus looked at your pink lips then to your eyes to ask a silent permission which you gave him immediately with a nod. His thin lips met with yours, they danced in a harmony until both of you were out of breath. He softly chuckled at your blushed face, it was matching with your cotton candy pink dress.

“Pretty in pink, Y/N.”
