okay but what if astarion shadowheart karlach gale wyll poly. i never get laezel or minthara so idk enough about them to analyze so imma just focus on my Main Camp Team. this gets very nsfw toward the end because i’m ill and i want them all to fuck!
the insane potential for an incredible number of love triangles. it starts with astarion and shadowheart, because he assumes the amnesiac will be the most naive/easy to influence. they pick up gale and astarion finds him annoying while shadowheart finds him sweet and useful to the mission. of course astarion starts trying to compete with and outsmart gale, which just creates an insane amount of sexual tension.
then karlach joins in and shadowheart is immediately smitten with her, leaving gale and astarion to let that sexual tension come to a climax or two. shadowheart, literally conditioned to be non-monogamous is all for it and pouts about not being invited until gale realizes that Oh. Oh. This is a thing that was happening…? well, he can’t blame astarion for liking her, and she’s much sweeter and substantially less threatening than the Girl He Has Feelings For that gale brings to the table.
karlach is a hard one because she is actually insanely monogamous and would be happiest only with shadowheart, trying to ignore the fact that her girl had other partners because she’d never deny her happiness like that. then i think once astarion and gale opened up a bit about their experiences and conditions karlach would really start developing a connection with them that would eventually bleed over into something a little more. she’s used to warming shadowheart up at night, what difference does one more shivering elf at her side make? gale is her fucking bomb bro till the end and he’s super smart and explains stuff to her she doesn’t understand without making her feel stupid.
then we add wyll to the mix. the literal actual genuine knight in shining armor of astarion and shadowheart’s dreams, so kind and honorable and hot they’re down bad. the way wyll suffers under mizora but doesn’t regret his pact with her wins over gale’s sympathy immediately and of course, wyll’s sacrifice to protect karlach gets her right in the infernal engine too.
as for specific small group dynamics ive already gone crazy about shadowheart astarion and karlach so we’ll skip over them for now.
gale -> astarion <- wyll is simultaneously “i want that twink obliterated” and “oh my god you poor injured little stray cat let me nurse you back to health”. very big on the unpacking trauma and having Man Therapy Time that leads to astarion and gale both crying into wyll’s very muscular shoulders
wyll -> shadowheart <- karlach is the knight x princess trapped in a tower x dragon dynamic but the princess and dragon are in love and the knight is an awkward blushing mess who is super into this. i know karlach and shadowheart have some freaky sex so anything with with them would be be BDSM Bootcamp for wyll
shadowheart -> gale <- karlach is fuck your ugly ex you didn’t deserve that, that is NOT love, let us show you how it’s done. they’d also recognize and encourage that little spark of femininity that pops up in gale from time to time and definitely indulge him in it. he’s also an extremely perceptive chatterbox, so honestly i think he’d be the third member of the gossip girl trio over astarion who isn’t quite so analytical
astarion -> shadowheart <- gale is soooo much jealousy competition for shadowheart’s attention but gale is completely oblivious to it. shadowheart adores the concept of being bickered over and feeds into it just a little bit to see astarion squirm. i am a shadowheart fujoshi truther and watching astarion and gale go at it is definitely her cup of tea.
wyll -> astarion <- shadowheart is purely “if anything happens to me, i know you’ll be here to take care of him”. now, put shadowheart in the middle and it’s herding dog x lamb x wolf dynamic all the way. very much the angel and devil on shadowheart’s shoulder when it comes to everything
a really fun one is wyll and karlach + shadowheart and astarion. this i feel would be mostly sexual because what says masc/butch best bros solidarity like topping your respective pretty twink/femme partners together? especially with shadowstar sandwiched between them and kissing like their lives depend on it.
also, there is absolutely some gangbangery happening but they’re very specific about it. if shadowheart is in the middle it’s insanely rough and degrading and pushing her to and sometimes past all her limits with her prior consent of course. she’s definitely into eroticizing her memory loss and getting fucked completely brainless, letting go of all her worries, having everything replaced with love and pleasure and pain that feels sooo so good…
very rarely astarion is in the middle but it’s the complete opposite. they’re all there to love on him, to make him feel good, to make him feel safe and secure. very slow and gentle and at his pace, taking turns touching him and getting him off and completely overstimulating him. someone’s got him held in their arms the entire time, usually karlach or wyll, shadowheart running concentration on his thoughts in case something goes too far and he can’t communicate it. praising him, telling him how good he is, how much he deserves all this love and adoration, etc, helping him completely rewrite the thousands of degrading and harmful sexual encounters he’s had little by little
idk what the opposite of a gangbang is but karlach is just an absolute stamina monster and will sometimes do a bit of circulating because she just can’t fall asleep or she’s too wound up or shadowheart knocked out immediately and she’s sexually frustrated. no one can resist her puppy dog eyes and so she ends up riding wyll into the ground, swapping head with astarion, and having some freaky wizard sex with gale that keeps her going until she’s too exhausted to move
im like chemically addicted to group poly at this point and i will forever be sad you can’t really even do a throuple in-game. however, a girl can dream!

ok. samwell college of music au. i wrote all four years let's go babey
eric bittle is this lovely southern tenor (sounds kinda like mitch grassi or ben j pierce) who posts covers (& sometimes originals, but always with neutral or no pronouns because he can't post anything that says he or him ☹) on his youtube channel and has major stage fright but is very talented; he also plays ukulele
he got into samwell college of music on a voice scholarship and his dad doesn’t exactly approve but eric was never the 6′2″ masculine football player he wanted anyway so why not go for his dreams
he auditions for the very competitive samwell men’s contemporary chorus (there’s like 20 choirs; chamber choir, jazz choir, a cappella groups (lax bros do a cappella), combined choirs, etc- smcc does contemporary pop/rock music) and while he’s very very nervous and shaky as he auditions, directors hall & murray see a lot of potential in him (with major grumbling from student director jack)
(the rest of this ridiculously long au under the cut)
the group is small, for a chorus, because the point of the group is not a wall of sound but a focus on all of the very talented guys’ voices coming together in these gorgeous harmonies and basically they’re like one of the best choruses on campus and all the male singers want in
so there’s jack zimmermann, who of course eric knows because everyone knows who he is, he’s the son of bob and alicia zimmermann, both incredibly talented and famous musicians, and basically those genes were in his favor because he’s mega fucking talented
(jack was supposed to sign a recording contract to be in a band with his best friend kent parson when he was 17 but something happened between them and the pressure was too much and jack overdosed on something- there’s so many rumors no one knows what’s real- and kent signed solo in LA & went on to win grammys for his albums about a mysterious ex and jack disappeared for a few years to be a counselor at a music camp and reappears at samwell, knocking everyone’s socks off again like he’d never left, except with a renewed vigor and intenseness that freaks everyone out)
jack is a contemporary writing & production major, freaky talented and sings like a modern day frank sinatra, and he plays like 20 instruments and can read music like breathing air and writes songs like if he stopped he’d die; his music is folksy and mournful and he plays all the instruments on his tracks himself- guitar, piano, strings, drums- it sounds like a full band but nope. just jack. he’s intense
“we all get nicknames in this choir,” justin informs eric on his first day, “we’re those kinda guys.” so he’s bitty, which he finds vaguely offensive (bc he’s not that short!) but still cute, & the rest of the group is introduced to him:
“shitty” knight (voice like colyer) is a musical education major and an enigma of a singer with this awesome, earthy, raspy voice that’s really interesting to listen to and a very.... unique style & look; he writes cheesy but shockingly good raps about social justice topics and he will sing-lecture you if you’ve said something offensive (he also plays banjo)
justin “ransom” oluransi is a music business & management major with an angelic voice you can’t help but listen to; he’s sultry and has an incredible range and does runs like nobody’s business (with a voice like daniel caesar or leslie odom jr UGH)
adam “holster” birkholtz is a voice performance major, wants to be on broadway and it’s all he ever goddamn talks about basically, he’s a belter and has a lot of charisma and starpower and he’ll charm the pants off of you within one note; can also play piano and irritates everyone constantly because his regular volume is like a level 11 (voice like the frontman of my brothers and i combined w/ x ambassadors lead singer)
larissa “lardo” duan is at the local art institute because performing arts is not her jam and she’d much rather paint; she’s a barista at annie’s and supervises open mic nights and keeps the annoying choir dudes from driving away all her patrons
“i’m not even in your dumbass choir,” she says when the group gave her her nickname. holster just told her that she was an honorary member and then started sing-shouting a song at her about how good she is
bitty’s first year is hard because he’s talented and he works hard but he shies away when anyone asks him to sing outside the group and like, he can sing to a camera by himself but being on a stage with everyone looking at you and the sole responsibility of the song on your shoulders is terrifying and no thanks
jack does not. understand this. he’s been performing practically since he came out of the womb and he doesn’t really get performance nerves (what he gets is anxiety about how he did after he gets off stage that follows him home and makes it so he can’t sleep) - so he bothers bitty about it constantly like “you just need practice, you just have to sing by yourself a lot and then you’ll get over it” which like.... that’s true but it’s also hella scary and bitty’s like “no thanks!!!!”
but jack’s annoying and intense so he makes bitty do open mic with him every saturday night and it’s going okay and bitty loves his choir and loves his school and these new friends he’s making and he finally feels comfortable enough to come out to them during his second term
then during their spring choral showcase at the end of his freshman year bitty has a solo and he’s worked really hard on it and he’s feeling good- okay he’s completely freaked out but he’s trying to feel good- but when he gets up on stage there’s so many people and the stage lights are so hot on his face and he flips out a little and maybe he passes out from anxiety and stress right on stage and it’s terrible and he’s so embarrassed and ashamed that he ruined their set at the showcase
of course jack blames himself because “we shouldn’t have given you a solo before you were ready, i misjudged it, i’m sorry” - and they all feel kinda bad bc holy fuck they didn’t know his stage fright was that bad like they didn’t know someone could pass out just by being anxious to sing
he practices all the time over the summer and goes to his local open mic at jack’s insistence and it actually helps a lot because instead of a sea of strangers judging him it’s a bunch of people he knows and they’re all smiling at him and when he finishes his song they cheer for him and it boosts his self-confidence a lot
his sophomore year they have three new members- chris ”chowder” chow (voice like ieuan), an excitable music education major with impressive rapping skills, derek "nursey" nurse (frank ocean or leon bridges type), a songwriting major who can also play violin and guitar, and will ”dex” poindexter (like tom west), a production & engineering major who tried out with chowder bc he needed moral support and didn't expect to get in but impressed the directors with his voice
the year’s going pretty good, bitty’s still pretty scared of singing alone but more confident now and the open mic nights with jack haven’t stopped, so he’s getting better. and one night they’re hanging out at annie’s after closing waiting for lardo to be done so they can walk her home, and bitty suggests that jack sing with him one of these nights, and jack says he doesn’t know any of bitty’s songs and bitty says they can write one together half jokingly but then jack is like “yes.” with that Intense Look
SO they get together a couple days later in jack’s room at the house they all live in together (bitty moved in at the beginning of the year after previous smcc member john johnson called him- how’d he get his number?- and told him he could take his room if he wanted), jack with his guitar and bitty with his ukulele, and it’s a little awkward until bitty says jack should play him one of his songs
and, okay, he doesn’t really know what to expect because the only music jack ever released to the public was that one single he did with kent parson when they were 17 so bitty doesn’t even know if he has anything to play him, but he does- he starts playing these soft, sad notes on the guitar and opens his mouth and sings about being lonely and scared and unsure, about false starts and shaky ground and not knowing where you stand with someone, about expectations and lying awake at night and wishing so hard you were someone else, and bitty watches him sing and just kind of... realizes he’s head over heels for this boy and internally Freaks Out a little
he tries to put that aside and they start to write this song, at first it’s weird because jack’s like “all your songs are love songs i can’t really relate to happy love songs” and bitty’s like “listen... i’ve never even had a boyfriend i just write a bunch of sappy love stuff because it’s not about me it’s about whoever’s listening to it, they’re gonna project their own experiences on my music anyway so it doesn’t matter if it’s my real life or not” and jack’s like “alright while fake af that’s smart and i respect you” (what bitty doesn't say is that he writes about what he really wants which is to fall in love & be in a happy relationship)
they say they’re just gonna write this kinda vague sad song but they both secretly write lines about their actual lives so it ends up being really personal and real and raw for the both of them
they sing the song at open mic that saturday and the crowd at annie’s is never that big but they’ve never got a standing ovation here before, and some girl shouts “MAKE AN ALBUM” (it may or may not be lardo) and they both blush furiously and bitty’s like “... that was really nice, jack” and jack’s like “... yeah it was good good job you’re really getting some confidence out there nice work” (bitty: “THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT AAAAH”)
around this time jack’s really thinking about what he’s gonna do when he’s done at samwell, talking with his parents and his agent and looking into different record companies and deciding if he wants to sign with anyone or possibly start his own company- the head of a small company called falcon records in rhode island has been talking to him a lot, and jack talks to bitty about how he thinks it’d be nice to start small, and the record exec georgia and the producer marty had both been really nice and welcoming, and bitty’s so happy for him but also just... sad that he won’t be around jack every day after he graduates
THEN at a haus party celebrating their win of a local choral competition, who shows up but none other than pop star kent parson to Ruin The Fun
bitty sees the way jack pales when kent walks in, notices them disappear upstairs together and feels a little sick worrying about jack but chalks it up to the highly alcoholic concoction shitty and lardo had cooked up but nonetheless decides he’s sick of the party and goes up to his room and hears.... a little too much
and YIKES he’s standing right there and kent parson, pop star, two-time grammy winner, is looking a little rumpled and staring right at him and he puts his hat on and clears his throat and snaps at jack- “hey. well. call me if you reconsider. but good luck with rhode island. ...i’m sure that’ll make your parents proud.” and jack’s shaking, and bitty doesn’t know what to do but jack goes back into his room and bitty’s just kind of standing there like What The Fuck
so.... he kind of stews over winter break but tries not to think about it too much and he and jack text a bit and jack tells him to practice and bitty’s like “oh, you” and jack’s like “im serious” and bitty’s like “>:( it’s christmas”
spring semester starts and they're doing well in competitions and they go to semifinals and then finals for a prestigious collegiate choir competition and the pressure is mounting but they all are so optimistic and really feel like they're on the same page and bitty’s confidence is better than ever and then.... they don't win
jack especially takes it very hard, but then he also has signing to worry about, which everyone helps him with and he decides to sign with falcon records and start work on an album after graduation
speaking of graduation, shitty and jack graduate and it's hard for them but harder for bitty who feels like he's losing jack in a way, he knows how intense jack gets when he's making music and it doesn't feel like he'll have any time for bitty anymore so when they say goodbye bitty goes back to the haus and listens to his and jack's song and just cries
but, like in canon, dadbob has words of wisdom to impart and jack has an "oh" moment and races across campus to kiss bitty
they get together and the next few months are spent with jack working nonstop on his album (which tbh, he'd had many of the songs written already so it's mostly recording and producing) and texting bitty constantly and coming to visit him and playing him demos of all the songs
jack also asks bitty if they can record the song they wrote together & have it as a bonus track on his album & bitty says of course, so when jack visits they set up an impromptu studio and record vocals in the guest bedroom and this deeply personal song they wrote before they were ever together means so much more to them now
and bitty is so happy but so scared and sad too because jack is playing him these songs telling him "they're all for you bits, & a lot of them are about you" and he just doesn't know how he's going to keep all this love inside even though it feels like jack's career is at stake
he tries to shove it down and stay strong though, especially since he's now an upperclassman and they're taking on new members- connor "whiskey" whisk (voice like finneas or the male singer in valley), a music business/ management major who seems to hate bitty's guts and tony "tango" tangredi (like chaz cardigan), a jazz composition major who astounds everybody with his endless questions but also his ridiculously impressive composition skills & naturally perfect pitch (he can also play saxophone??)
i want ford in this au so fuck it she is a composition major with dreams to write scores for musicals and she stars training as a barista at annie's (aka training to corral the smcc)
the pressure of it all proves to be a lot and bitty and jack have their hi, honey moment where bitty's like i can't be this deep in the closet!!! and so they tell the smcc and also jack's label that they're together and that eases things a bit
jack's album comes out to much critical acclaim and shouting in the groupchat ("#1 ON ITUNES BRAHHHHH!!!!!!!!") and several months later, when smcc has already been eliminated from choral competition in an earlier round, jack is nominated for SEVERAL grammys including best album, song of the year, and best new artist
when the time comes he takes his parents and bitty on the red carpet which, everyone keeps being like "who are you here with jack?" and he's like "my family and my good friend :)" and yes it is awkward
jack wins... all three awards. it's the comeback everyone is stoked to see and when his third win is announced, he and bitty are so elated that they kiss before he goes to accept the award
his speech is basically just "um... wow. thank you. i just kissed my boyfriend on live tv. this is amazing and i'm so humbled. i'd like to thank my boyfriend and georgia and marty and my parents and my friends and my boyfriend"
obviously the press has a FIELD DAY with this but bitty & jack are honestly vibing and so happy that it doesn't matter untiiiillll bitty's mom calls and he has to tell her "mama i'm gay and i'm going on tour with jack this summer okloveyoubye"
the last few months of bitty's junior year pass quickly and he's voted student director which is a huge honor considering how much he struggled with stage fright and confidence & how he'll now be stepping into ransom & holster's shoes
r&h and lardo all graduate (the smcc basically crashes the art school graduation and all scream when lardo gets her diploma lmao), which is a bittersweet occasion and they all do a bit of tearing up
that summer bitty goes on tour across the u.s. & canada with jack and his touring band (snowy is a bassist, tater is a drummer and poots does backing guitar, he also brings nursey to play violin on a few songs) as well as georgia who's there to manage logistics
and tour is so fun & chaotic with many bi and rainbow flags in the audience that end up thrown on stage and draped around jack's neck and they spend so many nights in the bus drinking and laughing and fooling around on the guitars and bitty's uke and exploring new cities bitty has never been to before and it's the freest bitty has felt in a long time
summer ends though, and jack leaves for the uk/europe leg of the tour, and with the new school year brings a few new members- river "bully" bullard (voice like gregory alan isakov), a music therapy major who draws his own cover art for his songs, lukas "louis" landmann (like jr jr), an electronic production and design major with a penchant for EDM, and johnathan "hops" hopper (like keiynan lonsdale), a film scoring major who wants to write music for movies and video games
bitty meets and befriends some of the other student directors- shruti, sd of the women’s contemporary chorus; sharon, sd of the chamber choir; and edgar, sd of jazz ensemble (even chad l., sd of the all-male a cappella group)
senior year passes similarly to the comic; coach visits and sees one of bitty’s competitions, jack comes to madison for christmas, smcc does well in competition and goes to regionals etc
however… bitty keeps putting off and putting off gathering the songs for his senior recital
he has a hard time doing that because he’s so focused on the group and making sure they’re performing well and as they advance in competition, everything else starts to fall away
eventually the rest of the smcc has to lock away his uke and change his youtube password and FORCE him to choose songs for it and start preparing because he cannot graduate without doing this recital and doing well on it
he chooses (of course) a beyonce song, a few of his own songs, an ellie goulding song, and an adele song
with all that his breath hitches and his hands shake before he goes on stage, he does really well and his voice instructor prof atley tears up a little in the audience as does his mom
meanwhile smcc goes to semifinals, then finals, of the national collegiate choral competition they participate in
and i imagine bitty faces somewhat less homophobia in this au because i mean, he’s in the performing arts, but i think it’s still there and he also faces a good amount of classism from richer students and performers who think they’re better because they had the resources and money to be performing professionally from a very young age, and he has been practicing via filming himself on a shitty camcorder and posting it to youtube
but they still get there! and the national finals are fucking HUGE and a big deal and a little overwhelming
bitty’s stage fright is Present because this is the biggest stage and the biggest stakes he's ever had and he has a big solo in one of their songs so if he fucks up, he fucks up a national championship for his whole group and school
luckily though, when he steps on the stage with his best friends and sees his boyfriend and family and smcc alums in the audience and they perform their first song, a high-energy pop medley that always gets the crowd going, everything seems to melt away and it's just him living in this moment and singing his heart out
when it gets to the next song and his solo, he forgets to be nervous and belts it out, getting screams of approval from the audience when he finishes
(dex and nursey do have a duet together that they had to practice for many long nights in the practice rooms alone but that's neither here nor there)
their time on stage seems to last both hours and no time at all and then they're done, the crowd gives them a standing ovation and it's at least 30% r&h & shitty's hooting and hollering and jack's enthusiastic clapping that makes bitty & the others beam with pride
then it's just waiting, giddy and nervous beyond belief in their green room, for the judging to be over
after what feels like forever they're back on stage, arms linked together waiting and hoping for their name to be called and it is, they win and it feels like years have built up to this moment, and bitty tears up because years ago when he was fainting from anxiety at having to perform in front of people he never could've imagined that he'd do this, that he'd be the student director that led them to a championship
they get the trophy and a ridiculous amount of flowers from their loved ones and they all are just in giddy disbelief that this is happening, they're national champs!!! they are the best choir boys in the nation!!
they come home and the rest of the school year passes by so quickly that it's very suddenly graduation and bitty can't believe his college career at samwell is over 😢
(he and ollie and wicky take pictures together, o&w talk about how excited they are to devote full time attention to their band & wedding planning and bitty's just like wait you're gay??)
bitty got plenty of offers from record companies but he likes his freedom of creativity and he has a built in fanbase from doing youtube all these years so he decides to make an album independently (jack helps him produce & master it 🥰)
when bitty's album comes out about a year later, full of bops about being gay and in love and having struggled but come out the other side more confident than ever, it doesn't get any grammy nominations- and he didn't expect or need that.
what it does do is it resonates. it makes the rounds in youtube and queer internet circles; people his age reach out to him saying this is the music they wish they had as a kid and kids reach out to him saying he's a role model and they're so glad to have his music to listen to. his album is written about as an underrated gem that shines with queer brilliance and is sure to start a party when it comes on.
his parents may not fully understand the road he's chosen for himself but they're still so proud and promote the album as hard as any of his loyal fans (especially the one country-inspired song on the album that he wrote and dedicated to them).
and jack, jack who saw this album from its infancy to its release date, who took the film photo that ended up being the album cover, who worked with bitty to make sure his vision was realized exactly how he wanted it to be, is proud beyond words.
jack starts using his semi-abandoned twitter again to tweet "stream [album name]" every day and bitty retweets them sometimes, with just a "this boy. ❤"
and they're happy. they're good. they have come so far and they are reaping the rewards of all the hard work they put in to make the music that they truly love.
the end :)

flirting w chenle on knowing bros seems like it'll be a wild ride HAHA i love the concept~~
thank u so much for sending in an ask 🥰
lezgeddit
flirting with chenle on knowing bros
you were a member of a girl group with 6 members
you being the youngest ofc
that day you were filming a variety show
knowing bros
and you LOVED that show
mainly bc heechul’s in it
and he’s hilarious asf
and bc he’s dating your senior
anyways u were told ur group wasn’t the only guest they had for the episode
the only info u received was that it was a boy group
part of you hoped it was nct dream
you had developed a tiny your leader would say giant crush on a certain chinese member
renjun
jk no its one and only zhong chenle
you had watched previous variety shows w nct dream in it
and he never failed to amaze you
his personality, voice, charm, and screaming never failed to put a smile on your face
the only interaction you had was during boom era
you had just debuted and both ur group and dream were nominated for first place on a music show
after winning, the boys of dream congratulated ur group in the hallways
“you guys just debuted? that’s so impressive wow” the blonde one, jeno exclaimed
you swore you saw ur leader blush a little
“congratulations~ i can’t lie and say ur song sucks” haechan — you recognized — chuckled
renjun started singing ur groups title track and the boys started dancing along to the chorus
both groups shared a laugh and just overall had a great time
it was great
with all the pressure both groups got from their big companies, it was nice to just laugh everything off once in a while
until ur managers called you to return to the dorms
and their manager called theirs
as it was you, chenle, and jisung’s curfew
you said ur goodbyes and as u were leaving
chenle accidentally bumped on ur shoulder
u gasped from the sudden feeling of ur bare shoulder in contact with his denim jacket
“oh my gosh i’m so sorry! ah~ you okay?” he said
eyebrows furrowed in the cutest way possible as he was worried
u blushed and got lost in his eyes
then u came back to reality as u shook ur head
“ah yes.. i-i’m fine.. sunbaenim” you bowed as he was technically ur senior
“oh okay that’s a relief. by the way, just call me chenle oppa. sunbaenim’s too formal, don’t you think?”
“o-oppa..?” you questioned while tilting ur head
“y-you don’t have to if it makes u uncomfortable!” he blushed, regretting what he just said
“no it’s okay. i think it’s cute. bye chenle oppa!” you giggled as you waved at him and left to go to your managers car.
he smiled to himself for a good minute until jaemin called him to get into the car
damn jyp why u gotta have a stupid three year dating ban
was all the orange-haired boy could think of
fast forward ur group had ur first comeback already n dream came back w ridin
as you were both promoting at the same time, the chances were very likely they’d be the other group on the episode
filming started and there you were w ur groupmates w ur school uniforms on
u wore a white sweater and a white dress shirt underneath with a short plaid skirt that had a matching tie hanging around your collar
after introductions and a conversation w the cast
a knock was heard from the door on ur left
a blue haired boy walked in confidently
na jaemin????
and so came the rest of dream
OH FRICK CHENLE’S HERE
ACT NATURAL
ur group moved a little to the right to make room for the boys as they walked to the desk where all the guests would introduce themselves
they did their greeting which u memorized in ur head
a bunch of conversations and segment went by
until the cast introduced a new one
it was called flutter my heart
cheesy
but cute
the challenge was easy
one person had to use a machine that would detect their heartbeat
and the other would have to try their best to make the opposing player’s heartbeat go faster than usual
u were divided into two teams
ur group vs dream
duh
laughter was everywhere as some of ur groupmates try flirt w dream and vice versa
starting with ur visual cringing at hyucks aegyo
and then ur leader making jeno lose in a second by winking at him
renjun serenading ur main vocalist
which turned into a duet
ur japanese member reciting anime lines
in which jaemin fell hard for
not in a dirty way no
then jisung calling ur oldest “noona”
in which she cringed
poor sungie lost :(
then as if the writers knew about ur crush on him
u were paired w him
it was ur turn to make his heart flutter
were u nervous? duh.
but were u gonna take advantage of the situation to flirt with ur crush of 3 months? absolutely.
so they put the detector on his chest and you had 5 minutes to make this boi go loco
u were bold and went for his hands
ur tiny fingers intertwined with his slender ones
even without looking at the machine
u could tell his heartbeat was going one million miles per hour
u were only holding his hands and his ears were already red asf
“oppa~ you’re so cute when you’re flustered~” you say with sparkling eyes
if ur hands in his didnt already kill him, then ur intense eye contact would
u let go of him hands as you crashed ur body in his and placed your arms on his shoulders
“oppa have you eaten today?” you innocently asked
“i-i.. n-no..” he couldn’t even breathe steadily
u smirked at his cute reaction
u reached for his hands once again, bodies still inches apart
“me too” you pouted
“should we go out then? just the two of us?” you stared at his fully red face
“pleaseeee” you pouted
chenle swore he was mentally melting inside
“she’s so competitive!” jisung yelled in the background
you couldn’t hear him tho, u were too busy thinking of ur next move
“20 seconds left!” heechul reminded
“oppa am i pretty?” u rhetorically asked
the taller boy opened his mouth to say yes, looking for revenge
but before his plan could succeed you placed a finger on his lips
“don’t say anything. just kiss me if your answer if yes.” you calmly said
you were exploding inside tho
ur members were screaming
some cringing
some actually enjoying it
they never knew this side of their maknae
“i guess so~” he muttered, enough for u to hear
u were taken aback by his answer in a good way as u suddenly blushed
he inched his face closer to yours and—
“TIMES UP!” heechul exclaimed
“woahhh i think you won that one” your groups visual said in shocked
you laughed as you turn back to ur members to see their reactions
ur gaze returned to chenle as he was still as red as a tomato
dreamies teasing him more than ever
although you didn’t win
curse u jeno why tf does ur heart beat so fast
chenle still couldn’t stop thinking about what happened
filming ended and you went to your waiting rooms to change back
you were at the women’s bathroom as you were fixing ur hair, looking at the mirror
you had tucked out ur shirt that was previously tucked in and slowly you unbuttoned the lower buttons that were super tight
“hey,” a lower voice called out
“pervert!” you exclaimed without knowing who it was as you covered ur lower stomach
for all you could know it could be a creepy staff member
he raised his arms in defense
“ah it’s just you chenle oppa”
u released ur hands from ur body
chenle’s eyes couldn’t help but land on ur abs
ears getting red again as he looked back into ur eyes
“i gotta go soon so i’ll make this short”
u tilted ur head as a sign to listen
“i don’t know if u were being serious or if it was just for the sake of the show but u should eat. it’s 3pm fill ur stomach. wouldn’t want u starving” he smiled as he handed you a block of chewing gum with pink wrapping paper around it
“ur so cheesy oppa” you blushed “but thank you”
wide smiled were exchanged as you bid your goodbyes
eh why not eat it now, i’m in the mood for something sweet
you unwrapped the hot pink paper
as you were about to pop the tiny block in ur mouth
u spotted something written on the paper with what seemed like a black sharpie
you’re so cute. wanna have rappoki some time in myeongdong? -lele oppa
ur whole face was as red as renjuns in mfal
but not as red as when u turned the paper around to see
text or call me whenever you can. don’t wanna lose a gem like you. xxx-xxx-xxx (my number if u were wondering lol)
you chuckled as you read that and the last little message
i’d wait all three years if it meant getting papa park jinyoung’s approval
he really was one of a kind
zhong chenle.

Electric Love || JJ Maybank x Reader
part one part two part three
summary: you’re the newest member of the pogues, a girl living with one foot in the rich life and one foot in the risky life. you fit right in with the crew, especially the charismatic, annoyingly attractive JJ. how will a drunken night of deep conversation and a dreaded summer party change your friendship forever?
word count: 4k
warnings: reference to abuse, flirting and fluff
*not my gif, credit to owner*
PART ONE
The Wreck was buzzing with activity. Your shift was nearly over, but the number of diners had yet to start shrinking, and you had a feeling you wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon. Kiara, your best friend and coworker, hurried from table to table trying to keep up with the mid-afternoon rush. Plates of steaming food were piled high on your tray as you wove around the tables, depositing drinks and appetizers with ease. Although you’d only been working there for the month of June, you’d slid right in and picked up all the right skills to be a prized employee. Kiara met your encouraging gaze across the room and smiled, throwing a thumbs up. She was probably thinking about the plans you two had with the guys after work; in a matter of minutes, John B, Pope, and JJ would burst through the doors and raise hell in the small restaurant. You couldn’t wait.
Despite the short amount of time you’d been in the Outer Banks, you loved every second of it. You and your mom made the move pretty suddenly, and you were worried you’d spend the summer friendless and wandering around the island alone. But within a week, you’d noticed a certain group of misfits always parading around causing chaos. For a few days you shadowed them, fascinated by the adventures they went on. And then one day, the loud-mouthed blonde one spotted you sitting alone at a beachside bench and demanded you join them on their latest expedition. Later you learned his name was JJ, and you owed him everything because he introduced you to a life of exhilaration.
Now, weeks later and after many perilous antics, you were just another Pogue. You gossiped with Sarah, joked with John B. and Pope, ranted with Kiara, and flirted with JJ. He was just so damn charming, and his smile made you roll your eyes as much as blush. It was all friendly banter of course, because of the no Pogue-on-Pogue macking rule. However, Sarah and John B. sort of complicated that now, and even Pope and Kiara were crossing some lines. No one had offered to change or eliminate the rule, so everything was sort of in limbo. You knew not to push things with JJ though, since you wanted to preserve the friendship. The last thing you wanted was to ruin things and have to spend the summer alone again.
Time was ticking, and in a few short minutes you’d technically be free to go. But upon seeing Kiara’s overwhelmed expression as she approached, you knew it would be more than a few minutes.
“Dad wants us to stick around till the crowd lessens,” she explained with a pout. “The only thing is it’ll take hours for this crowd to disappear.” She gestured to the overly full dining room, and you groaned.
��Aren’t there people coming to take over our shifts? We have plans.” You had been anticipating the day for a week now; after work, a quick trip of delivering groceries would help you unwind before the party the Pogues were throwing on the beach. It would be your first real Pogue party, and you couldn’t wait to meet more kids from The Cut and even some snobs from Kookville. Despite not living in The Cut and having a bit more money than your friends, you didn’t consider yourself anything close to a Kook. Your mom might have been trying to get in with the rich crowd, but you were more than satisfied with your band of misfits.
“Yeah, but you know we’re the only capable waitresses who work here,” Kiara joked, and you chuckled. She was right; you two always got the most tips and the most tables turned in the shortest time. You were the dream team of The Wreck, so if anyone could deal with this crowd it was you two.
The next ten minutes you both hustled to get as much done as possible; you were practically running to give people their bills so they’d be out the door. And this speedy method actually worked; enough tables cleared that you could take a breather.
All of a sudden, a familiar chorus of voices sounded behind you. Whirling around, you grinned as you spotted your best friends marching into the dining area, already chanting and laughing and annoying the customers. This was their best tactic since it forced Kiara’s dad to let you two leave. Once you left, the obnoxious teenage boys would be out of his hair. It was a win-win.
“Y/N!” JJ called, blue eyes sparking with mischief as he swung his body around the tables to stand beside you. His beachy blonde hair was pushed off his forehead and blowing in the warm breeze, his tanned skin shining with slight sweat. “I almost forgot how good you look in that apron,” he commented, whistling approvingly as you smacked his arm and smiled.
“No hitting on me while I’m on duty,” you scolded him, suppressing a laugh as he mocked you for saying duty. You practically had to shove him away in order to finish your shift, but his infectious energy caused a wide grin to stretch across your lips all the same.
“Some time today, Kie,” John B. whined, drumming his hands on the tabletop for effect. “So much to do, so little time.”
Kiara snorted, pouring fresh lemonade into a few glasses. “The party doesn’t start till sundown, and besides Pope doesn’t have that many groceries to deliver.”
Pope shrugged, admitting she was right. “But still, wouldn’t you rather waste the day on the water than in here?”
Kiara frowned, glancing at the clock on the wall. “You’re right,” she grumbled. Her brown eyes peered around the corner for her dad, spotting him and pasting on the sweetest smile she could muster. “Alright Dad, that’s it! Me and Y/N are outta here!”
Before he could protest, you both tore off your aprons and threw them onto the counter, sprinting out of the restaurant as fast as you could. It was only a short run to the docks where the trusty HMS Pogue was waiting for your arrival. As you ran, you felt Pope, Kie, and John B. hot on your heels with JJ closer to your side. You liked to brag that you were by far the fastest Pogue, and quite a few sprints had proved that point. JJ still liked to challenge you though, and today was no different. As he tried to keep up with you, you laughed and tilted your face to the sun, letting your long hair out of the messy bun you kept it in for work. As the long waves of sun-bleached hair fell on your shoulders, blown back by the wind as you ran, JJ faltered his step and began to lag behind.
“Ha!” you yelled triumphantly, fist pumping. “Slow-pokes!” You were the first one to reach the dock, breathing hard but satisfied with the exhilarating run. JJ was second, and he hunched over his knees, panting.
“Damn you, Y/L/N,” he wheezed, shooting you a toothy grin. “Caught me off guard with that sexy hair flip.”
You laughed and pushed at his shoulder. “In your dreams, Pogue.” You glanced over and saw Sarah jogging over to join you, stopping first to kiss John B. of course. You wrinkled your nose at their PDA, but also felt a pang of jealousy. They were crazy in love, it was hard not to envy them.
JJ caught you staring and elbowed you. “Could be us, you know,” he prompted, a suggestive smirk on his lips. “You’re missing out big time.”
You were about to sock him on the chest when Pope forced himself between you two to get on the boat.
“Alright guys, we actually have a job to do now. My dad’s probably waiting for us.” You gave JJ a warning expression and mouthed I’ll get you later before climbing onto the boat. John B. took the wheel with Sarah at his side, and Pope and Kiara sat next to each other by the front. JJ whipped his shirt off and sprawled out on the back floor, arms flexed behind his head as he soaked up the hot sun. You sat beside him, legs swinging as you felt the spray of water when the boat took off. The lazy sun, the warm water...you were absolutely in love with the Outer Banks.
The group chattered endlessly for the whole ride, never ceasing even when Pope went to collect the groceries for the day. JJ attempted to show off with a hacky sack, but ended up kicking it into the water.
“No no no no!” he wailed, arms waving wildly. “John B., you gotta stop bro! Man overboard!” Slowly, the boat came to a halt in the water, and everyone laughed as JJ pretended to freak out. “I can’t see her anymore! Oh my god, I loved that sack!”
You scoffed, standing up and discarding your shirt. You had spotted the hacky sack floating just a few meters back “Relax, JJ, you’ll survive.” You then took off your shorts, left only in a bathing suit, before stepping onto the side of the boat and swiftly diving into the water. You broke through the surface and were immersed into refreshing water. Coming up for air, you turned back to the boat and saw JJ leaning over the side of the boat, gaping at your bold action.
“Hey! Now we have two men overboard!” he called, and you giggled as you kicked your legs to stay afloat. Spotting the hacky sack, you dove back under and swam over to it, snatching it up and waving it in the air.
“She’s a hero, ladies and gentlemen!” Sarah announced with a grin. You pretended to bow and accept the congratulations before swimming back to the boat, pausing before grabbing JJ’s extended hand. He only needed to use one arm to pull you up effortlessly, landing you sitting off the side and smiling breathlessly before tossing him his beloved hacky sack.
“You’re welcome, you big baby,” you chuckled, gasping when he suddenly gave you a big hug. Your dripping body pressed against his bare torso, and you smiled into his shoulder as he squeezed you tight.
“How can I ever repay you?” he said dramatically, leaning back to meet your eyes. “I might just give you a kiss I love you so much right now.” As his face neared yours you quickly pushed it away with your hand, giggling as he let out a whooshing breath of disappointment.
“Not today, slick.” Swinging your legs over onto the floor, you flipped your hair and ran your hands through the damp strands already drying from the sun. The rest of the groceries were delivered without a hitch, and soon enough it was evening and the sun was beginning to set. After docking the boat, the group gathered in a circle to discuss the plan.
“Meet back here at 8,” John B. instructed. “We’ll bring all the coolers and cups out onto the beach. Then it’s party time.”
JJ let out a whoop, and everyone else broke into excited grins. You especially were beyond excited, and couldn’t wait to get ready with Kiara and Sarah. The three of you had of course planned outfits in advance, getting advice from each other before deciding. Everything was ready and waiting at Sarah’s, and as the group split up you three practically ran back to her house.
With music blasting in her room and clothes strewn about the floor, you began to get ready. Makeup was always minimal since you never knew when you’d be swimming, so just some moisturizer and an eyelash curl was all you needed. You loved the sun-kissed, beachy vibe your tanned skin and curled hair was giving off. You looked like a fun, adventurous girl who lived a carefree life. It was a welcome change from your usual appearance.
“Pope was totally checking me out, right?” Kiara wondered aloud, fiddling with a hair tie as she attempted a half-up hairstyle. “I mean, I know I looked good, but did he notice?”
“Totally,” Sarah confirmed, plucking at a few stray hairs in her eyebrows. “He’d be an idiot not to be into you, Kie. And JJ was definitely going crazy over your little dive, Y/N.” Sarah’s suggestive expression made you throw a pillow in her direction, laughing.
“No way,” you refuted. “No Pogue-on-Pogue macking, remember?”
The two girls snorted. “Uh, hello, Y/N,” Sarah said. “Me and John B. do a lot more than macking, you know.”
Pretending to be grossed out, you feigned a shudder. “Ew, absolutely not. JJ’s my friend, I’d hate to ruin things by trying to be something more.”
Kiara frowned, finished with her hair and now leaning against the wall. “That’s how I feel about Pope. But I don’t want to be just friends anymore.”
Sarah stood up from her desk, fully dressed and primped for the party. “I say go for it, Kie. You only live once.” She checked herself out in the mirror, nodding approvingly. “Ladies, we outdid ourselves tonight.”
The three of you looked good, you had to admit. Even in the dark people would be watching you all, checking out the hot Pogues who totally overshadowed the stuck-up Kook princesses. You could just see JJ’s jaw dropped when you got to the beach, and resisted rolling your eyes even now.
It was a short walk back to the beach, and by the time you got there it was pitch black. No one had really arrived yet other than the Pogues and a few stragglers from The Cut. The Kooks were always fashionably late, and it was only a matter of time before the walking Hollister models arrived.
Pope, John B., and JJ were pouring drinks into red cups and passing them around, and you accepted a cup with a grin. Getting drunk was fun, and you loved the way you felt when tipsy. Like you were lighter than air, and the world had a bubbly, gold-tinted glow. Downing the first cup too quickly, you choked a little at the end and rubbed at your chin, flushing in slight embarrassment. JJ raised his eyebrows and handed you another full cup, catching your eye and smiling.
Soon, the party was in full swing. Kooks and Cut kids alike swarmed the sand, downing alcohol and dancing around half-drunk. Sarah mingled with a few Kooks, dragging John B. with her despite his less than thrilled expression. Pope and Kiara were of course together, debating some meaningless topic while trying to keep the stupid grins off their faces. JJ was manning the drinks, hat twisted backwards like he always did to keep his hair off his face. You were a few drinks in, already feeling the effects of the alcohol. You’d always been a light-weight, and after one more drink you’d be fully drunk.
It didn’t take long to reach this point, and then you were stumbling across the sand towards JJ, calling his name in a slurred voice as you sloshed your half-filled cup.
“JJ! JJ! Heyyy.” You grabbed his arm when you reached him, stumbling a little as you lost your balance. He reached out to steady you, and you giggled ridiculously. “Can I have more?” you slurred, still swaying on your feet. “I wanna taste the clouds.”
JJ smiled, taking your cup from you and setting it down. “I don’t think so, princess. One more drink and you’d be on another planet.”
“Ooh! Which one? Mars? I always liked Jupiter.” Attempting to grab your cup off the sand, you felt yourself falling and scrambled to stay up. Luckily JJ’s strong arms grabbed you before you face-planted, and you laughed into his chest. “Sorry ‘bout that. I’m an...unbalanced drunk.”
He grinned, nodding at your explanation. “Makes sense. How are you liking your first beach party, anyway?”
“It’s so fun!” you said too loudly. “Everyone is so nice, even the snobs that Sarah introduced me to. If they loosened their buttons a little I think they’d be tolerable.” JJ laughed at your drunken retelling, taking a swig of beer. He looked a bit drunk himself, but way less than you. JJ knew how to handle his alcohol, whereas you were a stuttering, stumbling mess.
A thought crossed your mind, and you tapped him repeatedly on the chest. “JJ, JJ, JJ,” you repeated, until he grabbed your hand and exclaimed, “What?!”
“You know what would make this even better?” you asked, meeting his shining blue eyes. “A swim.”
Immediately he snorted at your proposition, crossing his arms. “Right now? It’s pitch-black out and the water’s probably cold.”
You shrugged your shoulders, unaffected by his protest. “So what? The surf looks so calm and serene, I just want to float, you know?” Without waiting for his answer, you whipped your shirt off and unbuttoned your shirts.
“Whoa whoa whoa,” JJ said, putting his hands up. “What is it with you and random stripping? Not that I’m complaining, but--”
Pulling your shorts off and standing only in your bathing suit, you put your hands on your hips and pretended to pout. The sight made JJ’s eyes flash, and he licked his lips.
“Look, I’m swimming. Join me if you want.” Before the last word left your lips JJ had practically torn off his shirt and kicked off his boots. His shorts hung low on his hips, and in the moonlight his defined abs shone like chiseled marble. Biting your lip, you turned quickly and skipped down the shore.
Dark black waves lapped gently at the sand, and when you dipped a toe in you felt the cold temperature and flinched. But a little cold wouldn’t stop you, and as JJ came up behind you you began wading into the water.
“Holy shit!” JJ exclaimed, the sound of splashing indicating he had jumped upon contact with the frigid water. “You really want to cross hypothermia off your bucket list?”
“Just for a few minutes,” you swore, heading deeper and deeper until the water reached your shoulders. It was definitely cold, and froze the blood in your veins until your heart thumped in your chest. But it was also weirdly exhilarating, and you let out a crazed laugh before dunking your head fully under the water.
“You’re absolutely crazy!” JJ cried, shivering visibly as he tried to keep up with you. Since he was taller less of him was submerged, so you splashed water at his exposed chest. “Hey!” he protested, but there was a grin on his face. You leaned back to float, spreading your arms out as you gazed at the star-filled night sky.
“Isn’t this so beautiful?” you murmured, treading water softly to stay afloat. JJ followed your gaze to the sky, expression unconvinced before glancing back at you.
“You’re so drunk, anything would be beautiful.” As he said this, his eyes glazed over slightly as they traced your face. Not noticing, you sighed blissfully.
A few minutes of silence passed, before JJ spoke. “Alright, Y/N, truth time. I hardly know anything about you and we’re damn near best friends.”
You frowned. “You know plenty about me, what are you talking about?”
He rolled his eyes. “I know stupid things, like you prefer sunrises over sunsets, you hate every kind of seafood except shrimp, and your favorite color is orange. I want to know the deep stuff.” He wiggled his eyebrows for emphasis.
You furrowed your brows. “When did I tell you my favorite color?”
“You didn’t, or at least not specifically. One morning you dragged us out to the beach at like, 5 am in the morning just so we could see the sunrise. When the sun had just broken over the water, you pointed to the clouds and said that that was your favorite color in the whole world, that muted, pale orange.”
If you weren’t so drunk JJ’s words would’ve touched your heart. They were so personal, and no one had ever paid attention to you like that before. But because the alcohol made your brain fuzzy, you just laughed and nodded. “That was a good day.”
A gentle splash hit your face, and JJ said, “Come on, this is a safe space. Open up to your best friend JJ.”
“Fine,” you countered, wondering where to start. You knew the only reason you were opening up was because of how drunk you were. But you also knew it would be nice to actually tell someone about yourself, after keeping it bottled up for so long. “Well, you know I live with my mom. I don’t have a dad.” You paused, but JJ was silent. “Well, I have a dad, obviously, child-making process and all that. But he left when I was nine.” You said the words simply, matter-of-factly. Truthfully, you hadn’t thought about your dad in a long time. “Which actually kind of sucks. That he left when I was nine, I mean. When you’re really young and your dad leaves, it’s fine because you can’t remember him. But I knew my dad. He was the guy that made really good waffles on Sundays and picked me up from school sometimes. So when he left...well, I couldn’t just act like he never existed.”
JJ’s only reaction was to blink slowly, gaze trained on your face. His normal light-hearted smirk was softened slightly into a more serious expression.
His comforting gaze made you feel like you could say anything right now, so you continued. “Anyway, my mom never really got over it. I think she wishes she could’ve gone after him, chased after the love of her life, you know? But because she had me to deal with, she couldn’t. I feel like she hates me a little bit.”
"No way, she can’t hate you,” JJ responded firmly.
“How do you know?” It was more of a rhetorical question, but JJ answered anyway.
“Because it’s impossible for anyone to hate you.” You were lightly stunned at his honest reply, and faltered a bit in the water. But he said nothing more to ease the sudden tension, making your mouth dry up.
Uncomfortable with the silence, you joked, “So how’s that for opening up, huh best friend?”
This brought a big smile to his lips, and he looked at you closely before saying, “Wonderful job. I feel closer to you than ever.”
Smiling, you still weren’t thinking straight you were so drunk. Stupidly, you said, “Hey, I guess we have more in common than I thought; we both have daddy issues!”
You knew it was the wrong thing to say when his smile immediately dropped. JJ’s dad was a sore subject that he hardly ever brought up. You knew the basics that Kiara had filled you in on; that his dad hit him, oftentimes a lot more than just a simple punch. You knew whenever you saw JJ with a busted lip or black eye that it was his old man’s doing. This joke was insensitive and way too overbearing, and you regretted it as soon as you said it.
But JJ didn’t make you feel bad for it, instead plastered on a smile and nodded. “Got that right, Y/L/N.” You swam in the water for a few more minutes, until you announced even you were getting a little chilly, and you made your way back to shore.
Teeth chattering, you hugged yourself tightly as you rejoined the group. Thankfully there were a few blankets that JJ and you gladly wrapped around yourselves, slowly warming up after the frigid swim.
“Having fun, Y/N?” John B. asked as he walked over to you. You nodded, accepting the drink he offered you even though you knew you didn’t need it. Anything to dull the awkwardness that just happened with JJ. Taking a huge sip of the alcohol, you felt it burn down your throat.
“This girl is crazy,” JJ announced. “Thinks swimming at this hour is fun.”
John B. grinned, giving you a high-five. “You make JJ seem like a stick in the mud, Y/N! Way to go.”
You smiled, and felt JJ’s eyes on you as he scoffed in mock offense. You met his gaze, and he was watching you with a challenging expression. But there was also something else there, something you usually pushed him away for. Tonight, though, with too much alcohol in your system and your guard completely down, you wouldn’t be opposed to a little Pogue-on-Pogue macking for once.

frENEMIES, pt.4 {Quarterback AU}
Summary: Grayson wants to talk, but Y/N is too busy running to realize her fears are deceiving her. Enlisting a reluctant Ethan for help gives Grayson a chance to maybe, just maybe convince his sneaky little princess to see he’s ready to try and change.
Warnings: angst, swearing
Part one Part two Part three
She never understood football or the hype that came with it, never really cared at all to even try and find out what made her dad so passionate about every game that it made his whole week if his team won, nor her old friend who wanted to play football professionally. She had less understanding for the way they treated the players like royalty, how they praised their womanizing ways or the conspicuous amounts of money they earned only to buy the most ridiculous cars or watches, or simply on parties and strippers.
She never bothered to get involved and perhaps she never would had she not met Grayson Dolan, the quarterback, her frenemie, her most coveted dream and most hellish nightmare.
Watching Grayson play for the first time had both made her heart race and stop, her breath fast and shallow but it also made it stop in her lungs. She had never worried as much about someone, never cheered for someone to win (though it would mean she lost), never had she screamed so much in her life and all because she found herself immersed in every play Grayson was a part of, every single move and every single touchdown he made.
But what really got her wasn't the game, rather his passion and perseverance and especially when he looked straight at her, finding her right where he left her before the game, only to point the ball at her minutes before he made the winning touchdown. She knew it was for her, somehow, she just knew. And that's when Y/N Y/L/N learned the ultimate, horrifying truth - she didn't hate Grayson Dolan, not even a little, not even at all. If anything, she had channeled all her jealousy and frustration and well, genuinely fucked up shit she dealt with because of him, and she unleashed hell upon him.
Yet, he came back for more each time. In hindsight, she realized he's probably crazy, a masochistic, but so is she. Still, when it came down to it, she ran. She ran as fast as she could and she didn't dare look back.
A part of her hoped he'd run after her, catch up and make her stay, kiss her like the world is ending in the pouring rain. She wanted him to come for her, but no one ever did. In a way, she's used to it.
Amina chose Ethan, Grayson will choose the other women or football, it's just the way it is. She isn't enough for anyone, she never was. Perhaps it's her anxiety and depression lurking again, but she always feared that she wasn't enough - wasn't pretty enough, funny enough, smart enough, artsy enough, interesting enough,...simply not good enough to ever be someone's endgame, regardless if it was friendship or romance. What else could she think as she had settled in her early twenties and only ever had one kiss and it was a drunken kiss from a guy who literally fucked anyone with tits and a heartbeat?
Staying low for the next few days was hard, especially when she found herself hiding from the most popular guy on campus and no matter where she went, Grayson magically appeared soon after.
She didn't know he spent days looking for her, telling everyone who sees her to text him her location but he always got there just a few seconds too late and he soon realized it was always his problem - timing and lack of effort.
Everything he did in the past years was to forget about the girl he thought hated him, but it clearly never worked. She's not the type you ever forget and it took him too long to realize he didn't want to spend the rest of his life wondering what would have happened if he tried...if he at least tried.
"Can you just do this for me?" After a week of being ignored, Grayson had enough. He couldn't handle only catching glimpses of her back as she walked away from him or the ignored messages he sent. He just wanted five minutes with her.
"The last time you asked me to do something for you, I ended up losing all my fucking hair. You said nothing bad would happen. You said it would be fun." Pulling his beanie off, Ethan had lost his sarcastic filter and went straight for the screaming part. "BEING BALD ISN'T FUN GRAYSON!"
"It wasn't my fault!" Throwing his hands in the air, Grayson groaned loudly before reaching for his phone.
"You gonna help your bro or do I have to bring in the big guns, huh?" The erratic taping of his fingers on his iPhone matched the crazed look in his eyes and Ethan already knew what's happening.
"Seriously?! You calling ma’ on me, now?!"
"Not if you do the right thing and ask Amina to convince Y/N to give me a chance to talk." Waving his phone with a snicker, Grayson raised his eyebrows victoriously when he saw Ethan cave before he said a single thing.
"We really need to find a better way of solving these disagreements."
**
Y/N paced whenever she was nervous. It was either that or tapping her foot which usually earned her a visit from her downstairs neighbor, so it was best to alleviate her anxiety by pacing even if it made her dizzy.
There were a number of things she wanted to tell her best friend, to apologize though she did so a hundred times by now. And it tore her to bits to know her friend chose a guy over her, but she was willing to work things out. Not many people understand her, nor do they stick around when shit hits the fan, but Amina was the only constant in her life since she came to campus. For Y/N, losing Amina was like losing a sister and she wasn't too proud to admit it.
Some people would always do the right thing, regardless of who they end up hurting in the end. Y/N was never that person and while it may not paint her in the best light, she’d be the one you can come to with blood on your hands and all she’d do is grab a shovel and help you dig. Perhaps that’s why she couldn’t really understand Amina and the way she abandoned her. If it were the other way around, no guy would ever be worth their friendship.
It wan’t a pleasant feeling - knowing you’re replaceable.
However, when a knock interrupted her obnoxiously loud pacing, she drew in a deep breath in hope of finding bravery everyone seemed to think she naturally possessed. But she didn't. She was perpetually scared of a great number of things and being alone was one of the main ones. She never felt as alone as she did in the past week and the feeling had gnawed on her sanity.
With a shaky hand, she grabbed the metal knob, shaking her head one last time before opening the door to face her friend. Her heart felt like it would explode as she caught sight of the person on the other side, the fabulous hair he threads his fingers through being the first thing she notices.
All she wanted was to make up with her friend and let the past stay in the past. Little did she know it was yet another elaborate attempt of her frENEMY to get close to her.
"YOU?!"

‘start up’: week-by-week playback
here is a week-by-week playback of events from ‘start up’ and my unfiltered feelings. hope you enjoy! if you want to see somewhat cohesive thoughts on ‘start up’ check out my official review. here :)
*spoiler alert*
ep 1
ladies and gents it’s going to be a good one. i loved being able to see this backstory to lay all the groundwork for the future of the drama.
his story is devastating as a young individual unable to make his way into the world and then making a way to find it isn’t how he expected and lost a real thing he had with the relationship with the her grandmother. but the redemption when he goes to see her again.
her family becoming broken. her sister severing the relationship and chalking it up to being ‘oh i made the better choice’. and her father dying while getting her chicken and trying to get an investment to not let his daughter go hungry and to bring his family together.
to him making up a character that got her through hard times. and then trying to find him again. this is going to be great. and i know i’m going to be devastated bc she fell in love with the other man to begin with, and now she will see this new person.
soooooo much happened and i’m clearly not ready.
ep 2
why? why do we lie? we know nothing good will come of it. if anything this jipyeong is who she loves. but why lie? literally you can own up to it and start over boo.
disappointed in our sweet grandma for lying to dalmi for so long.
her sister is awful. and so is this ‘mother’.
this man just wanted to start up his start up but he was like nah don’t want to help you even though i need you. feel in love with the girl in the letters and showed up bc of the goodness of his heart. hope he doesn’t get lost in the fantasy of it.
their business, samsan tech, is going to be wild and great and he missed his opportunity.
ep 3
her mother saying she is the same as her dad not having a plan is so wack, and makes me want her to slap her.
aren’t you curious? why aren’t you asking why i am like this? because that is my concept the quiet good looking type. i can’t with him hahaha
i love that he asked about the music box. i wish it was really him that wrote the letters, because this will be heartbreaking when she finds out.
‘it wouldn’t be bad to sail off without a map even if we got lost, if it’s with you.’
this kid, dosan, is too funny.
i cannot believe her ‘father’ just throw her under the bus and had her oppa takes over the Korean branch of her company that she formed.
dang it. girl quits her job because he started his own company
they got first place. is that enough inkling for you?!?!?
they both like her. but only one of them will admit his feelings so he will win in the end. i’m so excited to see all of their relationships develop.
the cringe level of the edit of her winning her award. i cannot even. they’re charming everyone loves it.
ep 4
him learning how to be a hot shot ceo. i can’t. the placemats he is struggling.
his friend breaking the 3rd wall and telling us how dosan drives away all the ladies in university.
poor guy the only things she likes about him aren’t him at all but jipyeong.
she is going to be their ceo isn’t she. bc he said that he can’t be ceo. she’d kill it. what a queen.
yes boo! there it is we know who you’re going to pick. bc she wants them to recruit you not the other way around.
ep 5
this was a stellar episode. from both teams using the same data set and coming up with wildly different ideas to samsan tech almost crashing down. but setting a fire to dosan to do better and be more ambitious. i’m so excited.
our girl killed her presentation yes queen. you got this. the fact that the boys created a whole new software. these folks would be crazy to not invest.
this alex guy really believes in them i’m excited to see if there will be rivalry between the two hot shot ceo’s
the fact that her grandma doesn’t regret not sending her to college but rather regrets not meeting him earlier to support and encourage him made me cry.
ep 6
this was a great episode. so much happened in the development of their little company. disorder and disagreements led to stronger relations within the company.
i love how she picked the mentor. like yup i know alex is the biggest deal since slice bread but you’re our homie.
the fact that dosan was ready to come clean about the letters but overheard the grandmother get a sad report from the doctors and wanted to protect her and her granddaughter. so sad.
ep 7
i really need more than a second male lead for this man. i can’t stand the way he looks at her. he loves her and is trying so hard to shut off his heart to her.
i love the bickering between the two male leads. like seriously hilarious.
i love the sweet relationship that nam dosan will now have with her grandmother. and i love the idea concept he had for their business. a beautiful heart behind the machine.
dosan standing up for her and standing against this horrible man out to exploit their talent.
this ending scene i can’t. they’re cute too. and precious.
he kept the plant and is going to give it nutrients to keep it well. please do the same with your relationship with her honey.
ep 8
i really love jipyeong and need them together.
i cannot with their ceo step dad. like isn’t this too much.
i want the boss lady at sandbox to know that dalmi is the sandbox girl!!!
ep 9
the wind turned into a heavy storm that destroyed his self esteem. he feels himself falling apart bc of his secret.
she was attacked!
‘i made a wrong turn and stumbled upon fireworks’ nam dosan.
he brought them to the beach after reading that review of wanting to see more beauty that the world has to offer. i need him to own up to his feelings and make a move.
don’t lie bro we know you like dalmi. and of course it’s raining. bc that’s how it is.
we still get a scene with them running through the rain the chul-san and yong-san.
my heart is crumbling into a million pieces. jipyeong’s there and dosan isn’t. what are we going to do. this ain’t the moment of revelation we wanted.
ep 10
jipyeong is so great. 10 out of 10.
i don’t know what it is but i really am not about dosan’s character for some reason. i really just want jipyeong to be honest from the start and he could have ended up with her.
my heart. our dalmi.
‘i wanted to be the person you wanted. but it was too hard to bear.’
‘the person i want. i don’t know who that is.’
is the sibling of the member that died in their group?
do-san can’t leave his boys!!
‘does my dream have to be success. can’t it be a person?’
he just confesses to liking her while he was mixing their noodles. i can’t with him. love that he’s finally being honest. now it’s all up to dalmi.
everyone encouraging her before she has to promote their company. she did this. she is the ceo. she’s got this.
what the even?!? jipyeong was the one that was harsh to him. and it led his brother to commit suicide. oh no. and now they’re in the elevator together what’s going to happen?!?!
now she has two plan b?!? one from the investor and one from dosan and the big tech company.
they both confessed to the nice lady at the bar. hahaha i love these epilogue moments.
ep 11
yong-san’s brother story is so sad.
his dad standing up for the present he desperately wants to keep. and being the bridge for innovation.
their software worked on alex’s scheme!!!
and they won demo day.
oh no but alex isn’t as great as we thought he was...
chul-san and sa-ha are dating. i cannot even. this is the best!!!
they’re such a good team. brainstorming after their win. they cannot disband them.
i thought our man was going to get to them
in time to stop them from signing. but he didn’t.

Stumbling Chapter 6
Pairing: Raihan X Reader X Leon
Your life hadn’t gone exactly as you planned…
This is why when an old rival walks into the coffee shop you work at he gives you an offer you just can’t refuse. Finally, a chance at the League. Suddenly you are thrust into the spotlight and a world you thought you had left behind. Dreams aren’t always what they are cracked up to be though, especially when you find yourself the tangled up with the champion and a certain gym leader.
Has all your dreams come true?
Or is this your worst nightmare?
Read the First Chapter Here!
Read the Second Chapter Here!
Read the Third Chapter Here!
Read the Forth Chapter Here!
Reader the Fifth Chapter Here!
**Masterlist Coming Soon!** Seriously though...Would someone be willing to make a banner for this story?
Unexpected Issues
You wake up a few hours later from your nap with your face all over the internet. A few major networks had picked up the story and now you were the mysterious challenger that helped Leon and Raihan. Several of the articles speculated about your relationship with the duo. Even more were asking questions they had no business knowing the answer to.
“Oh… shit...” you say as you gaze down at your phone.
“It’s going to be fine! Trust me!”
“There are articles speculating about our relationship Raihan!”
“So?”
“You may be used to the spot Mr. Gym Leader, but I am not! Plus what if I don’t make it through the challenges? I’ll be humiliated! What’s worse… every move I make is about to be documented! Oh… I need to sit down…”
“Oh!” Leon grabs a chair and sets it behind you just as you fall back, breaking your fall.
“Something will be more interesting tomorrow, I promise! Staying in the spotlight takes work! Although, you may want to keep the attention on you. Even if you don’t end up winning the League, having sponsors to endorse you is a great source of income. You could do a lot with the money from those.”
“Really?”
“Yeah… Do you think I wear this cape for the fun of it?” Leon asks as he indicates the logos on his infamous cape.
“I guess I never thought of it… I always just thought it was gaudy…”
Leon sputters but doesn’t reply and just goes back to his lunch looking a little crestfallen.
“I’m sorry Lee… That was mean… I’m just a little stressed but that’s no reason to be rude.”
Leon looks up in surprise and gives you a smile, “It’s okay, I know this is new for you.”
You pull yourself a little closer to the table the men are sitting at and rest your head on it. You feel someone begin to rub your back while another played with your hair. You feel yourself relax after a few seconds and heave a deep breath.
“I’ve just… been invisible for so long I don’t know if I know how to do this….” you say in a small voice.
“Just be you and they are going to love you, you don’t have to do anything else,” Leon says as he wraps an arm around you and pulls you into his side.
“Yeah,” Raihan says as he lays his head on the table to catch your eye, “You’re going to kill the competition and become famous anyway, you’re just getting a head start,” he says with a wink.
“But the RUMORS!” you wail, “I don’t want people to think that I’ve made it because I’m sleeping with the champion or one of the gym leaders! OR BOTH!” You say with wide eyes.
“At least it’s the most handsome gym leader…”
“No that’s Piers,” you say without missing a beat.
Raihan’s mouth falls open in offense before he screws it up into a pout.
“Oh… I’ve seen that face before… I’ve offended it…” you say with a Chesire cat-like smile.
“I thought we had something special… Now I know you just want me for my body.”
You shake your head while you chuckle and just roll your eyes, “You caught me…”
Raihan sends you a lazy smile, “There she is…”
“It’s going to be fine…” you hear Leon say as he regards you with that sweet look you’re beginning to associate with him.
“I’m going to have to do some training…” you mutter as you pick up your fork and begin to play with your food absentmindedly.
“Oh that’s right you still need to complete your team!” exclaims Leon, “This is going to be fun!”
“What is?”
“Helping you complete your team, and training them up! It will be just like when I was first starting out with Charizard… except he was a Charmander at the time…”
“Umm...Lee… what are you talking about?”
“I’m going to go with you.”
“Umm… No, you’re not,” you say slowly.
“I am. You had a run-in with a major criminal ring and they made you a target. They will try again to get Davine and you took one of their pokemon, you don’t think they aren’t going to want it back?”
“But...NO! I need to do this by myself, Leon! Also, your fans will have an actual Miltank if they know you’re traveling with me!”
“I’m leaving the uniform and cape at home and I’m just going to wear regular clothes.”
“You don’t think the rest of you is going to give away that you’re...YOU?!” You can feel your anger starting to build
“I think you need to calm down…”
“Bro...No,” Raihan says as he puts a hand on Leon’s shoulder to quiet him, “Don’t say that…”
“Calm down? You think I need to ‘calm down?’” you ask in a dangerous tone.
“Oh… I’ve made a mistake haven’t I?” Leon asks as he glances over his shoulder at his friend.
“Oh yeah…”
“Leon, I have waited my ENTIRE life for this moment, okay? I have literally worked at a dead-end job just to make ends meet and I have one shot at doing this right. ONE! I will NOT have anyone think I am any less deserving than every other challenger in this competition, OR that I am getting special treatment!”
“How does keeping you safe from an actual threat ruin these chances?”
“You’re the champion, okay? Everyone loves you, women adore you and they get vicious when they feel like someone is getting too close to their idol. They don’t care why you are with me Leon, the only thing they will see is a threat to their imagined relationship with you. And they are vicious. They would have no issue ruining me.”
“What if something happens to you? I’ll never forgive myself if you get hurt! This is more than just rumors on the internet, this is your life.”
“Leon… I need you to just trust me okay? I’m going to take a few days and do some training, you can hang around while I do that, but once I officially hit the first gym you need to make yourself scarce.”
Leon looks displeased at your terms but nods reluctantly, “I understand… I’ve got some business to take care of, I’ll see you when it’s time to head out,” his voice is chilly.
With that, the champion gets up and leaves, the door shutting behind him feels more final than it is.
You slump into a chair and run your hands down your face before you begin massaging your head.
“He’s not giving up is he?”
“Nope.”
“Ugh!”
“We’re just worried about you is all… That’s why we’re coming with you…” Raihan says as he casually takes another bite of his sandwich.
“We?”
He sends you a predator-like grin, “You don’t think I’m going to let him get the jump on me, do you?”
You just narrow your eyes, “What does that mean?”
His smile turns suddenly innocent, “Nothing princess…”
“Ummm hmmm…” You hum in disbelief.
It’s about an hour later when Raihan leads you down the street to the nearest store so he can replace your tent.
“Ah! This one will work!” he says as he points up at one, the store clerk helping you nods before he goes to the back to get the appropriate tent.
“Raihan… That’s huge…”
“Yeah! It even has a divider so you can have your own space, but we’re still right there!”
You frown at the fact that you don’t have a say in this.
“Come on, Princess! It’s not going to be that bad, okay? Once we’re out of the city and on the road it’s going to be much harder for anyone to find us. It’s not going to be as big of a deal as you think…”
“Don’t you guys have responsibilities?”
“Look… Those guys will come back and there will be more of them. They aren’t going to be easy to take on yourself, the sheer number Leon and I had to deal with was insane. You didn’t see it okay? You don’t know how many of them there are. It’s not that we don’t trust you, or think your capable, but we’re not going to let anything happen to you okay? So like it or not, we’re coming with you.”
You heave a sigh and tilt your head back, but you know he’s right.
“Damnit…”
“You get it now?”
“I’m going to have to apologize to Leon...again…” you huff as you follow Raihan up to the counter to pay. He picks up a few other things that he and Leon will undoubtedly need. You realize that it’s been years since the two have traveled on foot between the towns.
“It’s going to be fun!”
“I just wish I could go by myself… I feel like I’m going to be missing out on the experience.”
“Nah… You have a good bond with your pokemon. They love you and will do anything for you. Having a few friends along for the ride will be fine. Plus you’ll have the best trainers in the league to give you pointers!”
“I guess…” you mutter in annoyance.
“We’re going to have to stock up on more food… We should probably head to the store as well…” you think aloud.
Raihan chuckles as he grabs the bags from the clerk, “That’s the spirit!”
You let a small smile crawl onto your face, it’s hard to be upset for long with Raihan around. He has an easy-going and playful nature that keeps you happy. His energy is one of the reasons he’s so great at what he does.
After you pick up groceries, two of you meet back up with Leon at the Budew Inn. He’s not wearing his cape anymore and his usual snapback has been changed out for a different one, one that is solid black. He’s wearing a pair of black pants with a white button-down and a black jacket over it.
“Nice…” you say as you look him over in appreciation.
He gives you a smirk, “Not gaudy?”
You roll your eyes with a smirk as you walk over to him, “You’re still a dead giveaway, but it will have to do…”
He smiles proudly at your compliment nonetheless.
“Damn… I’m going to have to go up my game! I’m heading to change, I’ll be back in a second,” Raihan murmurs with a smirk as he passes the two of you, sending you a wink.
“Listen… Leon...I-”
“I know.”
“Huh?”
“I know you didn’t mean to get mad, and this isn’t what you expected your journey to be like… I’m sorry that you don’t get to have the carefree experience we did when we were kids. I just… can’t stand the thought of something happening to you, especially if I can do something to stop it,” he says as he takes a step towards you, his hands resting on your arms as he rubs up and down.
“You know… I always figured we would have had so much fun on our journey…” you say as you think back to all the battles the two of you had together when you were younger. A deep sense of regret washes over you, you adored Leon when you were younger. Do you still?
“Maybe this is just our second chance?” Leon asks as he gives you a smile.
“Yeah… I think it is…” you say as you gaze up into his eyes.
Raihan comes downstairs wearing a pair of navy track pants with a black tank under a different dragon inspired hoodie.
“How do I look, princess?”
“You look great Raihan,” you say with a soft giggle as you pull away from Leon. You regard both men standing before you and shake your head at the two of them. They just have no idea how to be discreet is all.
“Stop showing off! She doesn’t care what you look like!” you hear Leon say as he walks up behind you.
“What do you mean? Of course, she cares!”
“This is going to be a long journey, isn't it?” you ask no one as you walk out the door of the inn. The two bickering men rush out behind you as you just head back towards the wild area.
“Why does it feel like I’m starting my journey over?” questions Raihan as he follows behind you.
“It’s the excitement! For the first time in years, I think I know what freedom feels like,” laughs Leon as he stretches his arms above his head.
“Yeah I guess you two are pretty busy aren’t you?” you ask as you glance behind you.
“It’s not something you really notice until it’s been like two weeks and you haven’t had a day off…” Says Raihan as he looks out over the grassy field a wistful look on his face.
“So! What are we looking for?” asks Leon taking in his surroundings like it’s the first time he’s ever seen them.
You glance back at them and realize that they need this adventure just as much as you do.
“Honestly… at this point, I would like to round my team out… I’ve got a psychic type that will evolve into a psychic/fairy type, a dragon/dark type, a bug/flying type, a dragon that will evolve into a dragon/fighting type and a grass type.”
“So… a fire type would be good…” muses Leon.
“What about a water type? We could do some fishing!”
“Let’s just see what happens…” you murmur as you roam across the wild area.
You spend the day training your team while Leon and Raihan let their own team out to stretch. The two end up having mock battles while you explore and while you don’t think they are paying you any attention, they are never too far away.
Your current goal is to get Queenie battle-ready for Milo. So you have paired her up with Arum, your newly acquired Bounsweet. You’ve also paired up Hades with Serenity hoping that by helping him to focus through sounds and smells he will become a more confident battler. Davine just remains by your side watching the teams battle with uncertain curiosity. By the end of the day, you are surprised by the strides your team has made. Hades though not perfect, was able to remain calmer than before during the onslaught of attacks by Serenity. And Queenie, as to be expected of her typing, is growing rapidly. Arum is adjusting to her friends and seems to have become fast friends with Serenity already, the two huddle together and chirp back and forth to one another happily.
Setting up camp that night is a relaxing affair, and you have to admit that outside of the city and away from the crowds, the problems that seemed so large this morning seem so insignificant now. Raihan sets up the new tent while Leon gathers wood for the fire. His Charizard lights the wood aflame and you pull out the cooking utensils to get to work. Queenie is hovering around the pot as you slowly stir the broth and Hades is snapping at the ingredients you have laid out on the counter. Leon’s Haxorus is suddenly hovering over the pot as well watching more politely as you cook. You chuckle as he gently scolds Hades when he steals an oran berry from the pile. You aren’t surprised when Queenie notices Flygon and flies over to investigate the dragon as he hovers over his trainer helping with the tent. Davine is curled up next to Goodra while he talks with Leon’s Dragapult. You feel a sense of peace come over you and you can’t help but feel happy. Far happier than you have felt in many years.
When the tent is set up Raihan is behind you leaning over you as you stir the curry. You aren’t expecting the moment he discreetly whispers in your ears, “Everything looks delicious, especially you,” his lips brushing against the shell of your ear. You fight the blush as you swat him away, he gives you a devious smile and a laugh as he goes to cook the rice. You don’t notice the frown that mars Leon’s face at the interaction or the smirk Raihan sends his way.
When dinner is ready you divvy out the food and everyone sits down around the fire as a chill haunts the night air.
“I haven’t done this in forever…” Leon says as he gazes into the fire.
“It’s relaxing, isn’t it? Like going back to your roots,” Raihan supplies before he takes large bite out of his food.
You lean back against the fallen log you are sitting against and just take the moment in. Your pokemon are cuddled up around you, and while you are eager for them to grow and become stronger, this quiet moment is one you cherish. For once everyone, including the bickering hooligans Leon and Raihan, is quiet and you love it.
The silence is broken by a soft cry.
“Do you hear that?” you ask as the cry becomes louder.
“Yeah… Is it a pokemon?”
“If it is, it’s young!” you say as you get up. Serenity is already on your shoulder her little antenna twitching every now and then. She lets out a cry and points towards the right.
You set off into the darkness, Charizard’s tail lighting the way as you search for the pokemon making such a sound. You blink in surprise when you come upon a Toxel crying out in the darkness. You walk over to the baby pokemon and crouch down in front of it.
“You probably shouldn’t touch it,” Leon says as he crouches down next to you.
“But what if it needs help?!” you ask.
“Don’t worry… we’re not going to leave him here.”
“Here!” Raihan says as he pulls off his hoodie and hands it over to you.
You wrap the hoodie around the small pokemon and lift him into your arms. It stops crying out and just gazes up at you before snuggling against you drifting off to sleep. You blink down at it in confusion.
“It… fell asleep…”
“Well… at least we know you’re going to be a good mom?” questions Leon, as he helps you to your feet.
“I guess? That was anticlimactic...” you mutter as you begin to make your way back to camp.
“Are you going to keep him? He would be a great addition to your team.” Raihan asks as he watches the baby pokemon over your shoulder.
“How do you know it’s a boy?” you ask.
Raihan chuckles before he points down indicating that it is, in fact, a male.
“...Oh…”
Once you get back to camp you head over to your bag and gently tap the pokemon on the head with the pokeball. He doesn’t even wake up as his data is downloaded into the device.
“It would be nice if I could just… catch a pokemon the traditional way for once…” you huff as you gaze up at the duo on either side of you.
Both men just shrug in reply before they start cleaning up the area. You put the sleeping pokemon in the tent and help them. Once everything is completed for the night you all pile into the tent.
“Raihan this thing is huge!” you exclaim as you gaze around the huge tent.
“Yeah well… I’m a grown man who needs his space from other grown men… You’re welcome on my side of the tent anytime you want though,” Raihan says with says a smirk.
You roll your eyes at him, but you can’t help but be enchanted by the homey tent. There were separate ‘rooms’ with zippable dividers. Lanterns hung from the ceiling and the floor had sleeping bags along with extra pillows and blankets.
“Raihan! How did you fit all of this into your pack?!”
“It’s all collapsible,” he says with a shrug, “Plus only the best for my princess.”
Leon rolls his eyes in annoyance at his rival as he picks a corner and starts to set his own area up.
You huff as you set up your stuff into your own corner before grumbling to yourself, “Why is it so chilly?”
A moment later, a blanket is draped around you, “Here, I have an extra one that you can have.”
Leon wraps the blanket around you, pulling you into him before he rubs your arms with hands to generate heat.
“Here I’ll finish setting up for you while you get warm. I’ll see about getting an electric blanket tomorrow.”
“Oh? Leon you don’t have to do that!”
“Nonsense! I can’t have you getting sick on me!”
You gaze at Leon’s strong back and feel your face heat up before you chide yourself.
‘He’s just being nice! I can’t do that to Sonia…’ you think to yourself.
“Then again… if you don’t want the electric blanket… there are other ways to keep you warm…” Leon mutters in your ear as he passes you by.
Your eyes widen and you let out a squeak.
“Well good night guys!” you exclaim as you reach up and turn the lamp off. You practically dive into your sleeping bag and bury your face into your pillow. Suddenly, you don’t feel so cold anymore.
Notes: Your continued support means soooo much to me! This was kind of a filler chapter, but I hoped you enjoyed it nonetheless! Also baby needs a name! What do you have for me?!?!

Strawhats in order of favourite to least favourite!
😜
Aaa! I’ve been trying to put them in order for so long! >//< But I shall try, just for you~!
1. Sanji: Are you really surprised? This noodle is baby. As much as he’s an idiot in canon he’s also has so much character and life inside of him. Tragic backstory is also a plus XD We stan Genderfluid Bi Sanji in this house! I love him, and want only good things and more terrible things to happen for him. He’s such a complex character, and I just have so many feelings for him. So SO many feelings. I could talk for hours about how much I love Sanji. Don’t even get me started. XD
2. Luffy: I. Love. Luffy! This motherfucker is SO GOOD. He would be number one if I wasn’t such a simp for tragic backstoried blonds with daddy issues. Luffy is sunshine and chaos. He would end the world for his family. He’s selfish, feral, and such a moron. Luffy is the hype. He’s also hysterical! I just, I love Luffy. I want to see him reach his dream so goddamn badly.
3. Zoro: I mean, c’mon! It’s the Moss head. Directionally challenged, sword obsessed, bit titties, shares a brain cell with Luffy Marimo. He loves his crew, and is an amazing First mate to the future Pirate King. This bad boy can fit so many head canons it’s unreal! He’s also just as feral as Luffy. They are like two peas in a pod. Also he’s Sanji’s husband.
4. Robin: Robin is Queen! She’s so mysterious, but once you really get to know her she’s just as quirky as the rest of the Strawhats. Her comedic timing with Sanji in Skypei always had me dying. Her and Chopper’s friendship? Best. Top Tier. Get those nerds together and they will talk for hours. I love how she plays board games with him, and just really loves her found family. Robin coming out of the wood works to say something creepy and smiling? I love it. Give me more. Step on my face queen.
5. Chopper: I am a sucker for cute, but it’s more than that. Chopper wants to prove himself So Much. He’s a reindeer who braved the desert for his new friends, watched over the Merry Go and tried to protect her from fire, is strong as hell and he’s a genius! This little nugget has to deal with the Monster Trio’s stupidity constantly when they get hurt. Do you realize how much shit he has to put up with those morons? He may be part of the Coward Trio, but he’s honestly the bravest of them. He may cry as he’s doing it, but he will stand up to enemies a lot faster than Usopp will.
6. Usopp: Yo, okay. Real talk. I slept on this man when I first started. I was wrong. Usopp is bae. His growth from his introduction to now is MASSIVE! His comedic timing and out right determination is so perfect. He’s smart af and stood up to Luffy. Luffy! He knew he would loose, but he tried so damn hard and made Luffy work for that win. He cares about his friends, and when push comes to shove he will always be there for his friends. And Haki. Yo. Usopp has the most growth out of all the Strawhats, and I love him for it.
7. Nami: Don’t get me wrong, I love my girl. It was hard to figure out where to put her. She keeps her beloved morons in line as best she can. She knows her boys share one brain cell, and works with it the best she can. I only put her here because after awhile her obsession with money gets a little stale? I understand why, and it’s hard to make that gag fresh I guess you could say? She’s smart as all hell, and I love me some Nami, but her growth seemed to have stagnated, or more so slowed down, for a bit there.
8. Brook: His panty obsession aside, Brook is a dork. He just wants to be with his friends and be included. Underdog of WCI and standing up to Big Mom? Fuckin’ savage! Brook’s backstory huuurts, and I just want good things for him. When Laboon’s name came back I lost my shit the first time. Like, calling back to something that early in their journey? I loved that! I can’t wait to see their reunion. I will cry. There will be tears.
9. Franky: He would have been 8, but I just prefer his pre-TS design more. He’s a nerd, and I love him and Robin’s dynamic. Franky is great, but the speedo bro. I’m currently rewatching Water 7 right now, and I love how eccentric he is. Super smart and talented. A+ nerd.
10. Jimbei: Don’t get me wrong, I love fish dad! I just haven’t gotten to really get to know him as much as I have the rest of the crew. The East Blue crew holds a special place in my heart, and I will always go back and watch those early seasons. I’m learning to love the newer characters just as much them. Fish dad loves Luffy and I love his dedication to the Strawhats. Jimbei is badass! The relationships he will get to create with the rest of the crew? I am stoked for more!
11. Vivi: I just...I love Vivi. I do. She’s Nami’s future wife. We all know, but I guess the extent she went to for peace was hard for me to watch. I was with Luffy in the house of ���Let’s punch Crocodile!’ Her dedication was admirable, and I do like her but she didn’t resonate with me as much as the others.
That was SO DIFFICULT! Oh man. I love all the Strawhats! I want them to achieve their dreams and reign chaos upon the world. Thank you for the ask! asljdfs <3 <3 <3

Bring It On, Moceit/Moremus
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 AO3
For @littlestr who prompted this whole shebang~
I think there will be one more part after this, hopefully tonight! No Patton in this section but don’t worry, we’ll get to him ;)
Starts a few days after part 3
Warnings: swearing, angst, conflict, fighting over a love interest
***
“I can’t believe you! After all our hard work you just.. what? Feel bad and give up?!” Toby berated his friend, talking over Remus’s miserable groaning from the couch. “You like this guy! No, you really like him, and you’re just giving up on getting the guy of your literal dreams because Dexter O’Reilly looked a little bit fuckin’ sad?!”
Well, yeah. It wasn’t exactly easy to explain. Remus had tried four different times but Toby had only got more and more irate in the end, and he’d given in.
His phone buzzed on his chest and Toby huffed. “That’s probably Patton again, wondering why the hell you took off without saying yes to dinner. Bro! Just call him and say you were low on protein or something! Please!”
“Dude, I can’t just lie to him like that. And I don’t know why I- huh.”
“What? What is it?”
“It wasn’t Patton.”
On his phone was a text from an unknown number. All it said was, ‘you win’.
***
Dexter was keeping his head down in the aftermath of his humiliating defeat at the hands of Jocky McJockface. It wasn’t that he thought Remus had somehow beaten him (although that childish thought persisted unpleasantly) but that Patton had chosen him. Patton, sweet Patton, who’d sat with him while he’d worked for most of Winter break. Who’d laughed with him and smiled at him and been gentle and soft and quiet and kind with him.
But Patton didn’t want him, and that was what smarted most of all. Because you couldn’t fight that kind of harsh fact. You couldn’t (and shouldn’t try to) change it.
Admittedly sending that text had been a bad idea, but he was feeling sorry for himself and he’d had a gin and tonic or three so… Why not? Fuck it, basically.
And yet.
He’d not heard anything since about the two of them dating now. Dex ran the goddamn gossip mill; he’d know instantly once they went steady, but there was nothing. No news, no changes, no updates- nothing. It was, quite frankly, weird.
There was weirder to come though, when Remus texted back an invitation to meet at an address he knew to be on Greek Row, that night after football practice…
*** Remus was furtive when he opened the door later on, peering around to see Dexter stood on the doorstop looking very impatient and unimpressed. He stared at him for a moment, clocking the perfectly tailored shirt and slacks combo under Dexter’s wool coat. So different from anything he’d ever wear…
“Are you going to let me in or do I have to stand here and watch my social cred disappear the more people see me in front of a frat house?” Dex asked archly, and Remus hurriedly let him in, ushering him through the building to his room.
He locked the door behind them and turned to see Dexter examining the decor with his nose in the air. Remus forced his hackles down again, and sat on the bed, gesturing to the recently cleared chair in the corner he’d pulled out for this meeting.
“So.”
“So,” Dex replied, tone slightly mocking. Remus sighed. “I assume you didn’t invite me here to gloat?”
If it hadn’t been a genuine question Remus would’ve rolled his eyes. But there was a hint of emotion shaking Dex’s words and he took it seriously instead. “No, not to gloat. Truth is- truth is I felt pretty shitty when I saw you in the corridor. Until then it was sorta… fun. You know, a little healthy competition to heat the blood or whatever. But then, like, bro you looked fuckin’ gutted. That’s not fun anymore. And I get it, ‘cause I could’a been there where you were easy as anything, and you could be the one he was looking at and that would’ve hurt real bad.”
Dexter’s shoulders were high and tense and he refused to look at Remus.
“So I figured, why do I deserve this and you don’t?”
“Yes why indeed?!” Dexter snapped at last, folding his arms tight across his chest and glaring at the jock. “He’s not just a cheerleader for you to have on your arm so you can win prom king, Duke. You don’t get dibs because you’re into sports.”
Well actually, according to his and Toby’s research, that did give Remus an edge… but no, not important right now. Probably not what Dexter meant, either.
“Hey, that’s not fair. That’s not why I like him at all, okay?” He said instead, with a frown but a calmness that would’ve impressed his parents beyond belief. “It’s Patton, I dunno how anyone could not be in love with him. It’s been almost two years for me, anyway. What about you?” His eyes pleaded with Dexter to get on board with him here and stop being so antagonistic.
As it happened something Remus had said had already done the trick.
“… Did you say two years?!” Dexter stared at him in shock. “You’ve like Patton Sanders for two years, and you’re… what, not dating him now you have the chance?! Are you really that noble?”
“Uh, yes? Is that weird? Why is that weird?!”
“Because it is! People aren’t like that! People aren’t nice-”
“I can be nice! Patton is the nicest though.”
“Oh, agreed, he’s super nice.”
“And kind.”
“And clever.”
“And pretty…” They both sighed, lost in thought.
“God, so pretty,” Dexter agreed in a lovesick sigh. He shook himself back to reality. “But so not the point. What the fuck are you doing here, talking to me, when you could have him? Didn’t he choose you?”
Remus shifted uncomfortably on the bed. “Well uh, I guess? But I mean, he- we didn’t explore every option, really, and- and he only offered to make me dinner, that’s not such a big deal, and- I would feel bad. Patton seemed to like you too- I heard about Winter break- and he seemed so happy whenever you two were together I just felt bad. For both of you.”
Dexter was still staring and Remus upgraded to a full on squirm. “Bro, why are you looking at me like that? What did I do? Should I not have backed off?”
Dexter was still staring, but his eyes betrayed how fast his mind was working. A slow smile spread over his face and he leaned back more comfortably in the chair, crossing his legs and steepling his fingers together under his chin.
“Um, Dexter? What’s- what’s that look for dude?”
“Remus Duke, my dear meathead. I have had a fantastic idea. I think you’re going to love it.”
Remus gulped.

TDSB: Episode 2, Part 1. Something Fishy This Way Comes...
*Cloud, Richter, and Stevie are in the Smash Bros Lounge watching TV. Cloud is reading, Richter is nursing a glass of wine, and Stevie is playing Candy Crush on his phone with the TV acting as background noise. Wario walks in on them lie this.*
Wario: What's up losers.
Richter: Screw off Wario.
Stevie: Aye mate! We're trying to get our hogwillies a rest 'ere ya humdinginer billabong!
Wario: Once I find out what that means I'll come up with a crushing reply.
*Wario plops down on the couch and grabs the remote, flipping through channels. Cloud looks up from his book, but double takes when he sees something familiar*
Cloud: Hold up! *grabs the remote from Wario*
Wario: Hey! What's the big i-
Cloud, flipping back through the channels: Shut up!
Stevie: Oi mate! What's got your bloomdingers in a sodfeelfen?!
Cloud: Look! It's Ganondorf! He's on TV!
*Sure enough all see Ganondorf on the television, now wearing a gaudy silver suit*
Richter: What the- he's right!
Wario: What the hell is going on here?! ...And why the hell is Ganondorf wearing THAT?
Ganondorf: Last time, on Total Drama Smash Bros! *cuts to the twenty contestants on the dock when they first arrived* Our contestants arrived here in Camp to compete in the greatest Reality TV show yet!
Cloud: That's all the Smashers that Master Hand called away on some secret mission!
Richter: Well now we know that's bullshit.
Ganondorf: *screen cuts to the Smashers joining their respective teams* After forming up and meeting their teammates, it was time for their first challenge, *shot of the contestants playing the game* VOLLEY-BOMB! *shot of Peach negotiating with Pit and Zelda* Alliances were made, *shot of Bonny Janet and Link arguing* strife was founded, *shot of Lucina getting blown away* and days, *shot of Falcon getting blasted* were, *shot of Corrine getting Warlock-Punched* Ruined!
Stevie: Oof, that's a right hard humdinger that is.
Ganondorf: *shot of Falcon getting thrown onto the Boat of Failures* In the end, it was Captain Falcon who was sent home for failing his team when they needed him the most.
Richter: Tough break Falcon.
Wario: But why the hell are they even there?! It makes no sense!
Ganondorf: *the screen returns to Ganondorf on the dock* Can the Goombas learn to trust each other? Will the Koopas learn about Peach's alliance? And who will win this week and find themselves one step closer to winning that sweet, sweet twenty million dollars!
Wario: TWENTY MILLION!?
Richter, clutching his ears: Well, there goes my eardrums.
Ganondorf: Find out this week, on Total! Drama! SMASH BROS!
Wario: I GOTTA GO!
Cloud: Go where?
Wario, jumping out the window and summoning his motorcycle: TO GET THAT TWENTY MILLION!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*The Campers are hanging out in the mess hall, chowing on breakfast crafted by Ridley.*
Robyn, holding up a chunk of “food” with her fork: Are we sure this is food? It seem more like something Godzilla would up-chuck if he had one too many beers.
Marth: I;m fairly certain this substances' mere existence violates the Geneva Convention several times over.
Link, chowing down: Meh. Not the worst thing I've ever eaten. *He takes another big bite as the others of his team look on in horror.* Mmh! Crunchy.
-
Confessional
Zelda: I know that Link has eaten some questionable things in his adventures, but I had no idea he had such an iron gut! It's terrifying!
-
Samus, shrugging and digging in: Eat up Koopas. Gotta get your energy up for whatever nightmare Ganondorf has planned.
Roy: Speaking of, where is that Sauron rip-off? *Roy suddenly gets smacked in the face by a Mr Saturn sending him into the wall connecting the Mess to the kitchen*
Ridley: Oi! I'm trying to work here.
Ganondorf, striding into the mess: Sorry my purple friend, but it's time for this week's challenge!
Roy: Everything... is... in pain...
Ganondorf: Move it or lose it Roy boy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Ganondorf has led the Campers to the docks where a series of boats await them. Half the boats are outfitted with Goomba red and the others are painted Koopa green.*
Ganondorf: Welcome to a little challenge I like to call... Man vs. the River Wild!
Samus: Let me guess... some sort of river rafting race with a brutal and sadistic twist to it.
Ganondorf: Eh, you're only half right. No to the rafting race, yes to the brutal and sadistic twist!
Ike: Figures.
Ganondorf: No, you're challenge is something different. *two moblins produce a large blackboard with instructions written all over it.* Ahem, as you can see, today you will be having a fishing competition!
Red: Seriously!? That's awesome! Leaf and I fish for aquatic Pokemon all the time!
Ganondorf: Today, your prize is the rare Spotted Buck-Salmon. *he holds up an example*
Lucina: Wait a minute, that just looks like a regular salmon you super-glued antlers onto!
*King K Rool, off to the side, slides a box of crappy dollar store antlers out of sight whilt whistling nonchalontly.*
Ganondorf: Regardless of their status as novelty items, you have to catch them! But be warned. These waters are filled with piranha, *Petey the Piranha Plant wearing a scuba outfit surfaces and waves at them.* sharks, *a shark pops out of the water and swallows Petey whole, grinning evilly afterward* and other unspeakable horrors from the depths that even H.P. Lovecraft would never be able to dream up! *a massive tentacle rises from the water and grabs the shark, dragging it down and causing it to spit up Petey*
-
Confessional
Link: Finally! Something I know I'm good at! I went fishing all the time in Hyrule.
-
Confessional
Ganondorf: In one of my many times trying to take over Hyrule I needed to find a way to delay Link. I tried two different strategies. First, I sent an army of undead after him, led by an Elder Lich. Secondly, I used a shovel to dig out a pit that a filled with water, stuck a “Free Fishing” sign in front of it while spreading the rumor that there was a rare fish inside.
One of those tactics bought me a whole month of time, and the other he beat in an hour.
Take a guess which one was which. Take a wild fucking guess.
-
Corrine: Okay, what's the horrible bullshit twist you've got for us this time?
Ganondorf: Aww, you know me so well.
*Corrine rolls her eyes*
Ganondorf: The twist? You can either catch the fish yourself, or wait for someone else to catch it and steal it from them!
Robyn: Wow, you're right. That IS bullshit.
Ganondorf, unperturbed: You have ten minutes to pick a partner to fish with and select which bait and tackle you'll use. Whichever team catches the biggest fish wins!
*the group splits up, partnering up with each other*
Dark Pit: Hey, dick knozzle! We've got an odd number of people! How are we gonna partner up?!
Ganondorf: Ah yes, well I guess one of your boats is going to have to hold three. *Peach immediately grabs Pit and Zelda, her hidden alliance members* Of course... those boats are only meant to hold two. Better be careful.
-
Confessional
Peach: I'll admit I'm not good at fishing. I always fail that minigame in Mario Party. But hey, Zelda and Pit both have to have some experience between them.
-
Confessional
Pit: Oh boy! My first time fishing! This is going to be so much fun!
-
Confessional
Zelda: Link took me fishing once... I caught something right away but... the poor fishy... *starting to cry* staring at me like that!
-
Peach: We'll handle it Ganondorf.
Ganondorf: Alright, whatever.
*The rest of the teams form. The Goomba Teams are: Daisy and Ike, Leaf and Red, Corrine and Rosalina, Joker and Marth, Link and Bonny Janet.
The Koopa Teams are: Zelda and Peach and Pit, Roy and Samus, Erdrick and Robyn, Lucina and Dark Pit*
Link: Hey does anyone want to trade? I'd rather not be teamed up with the Scottish Imp over here.
Bonny Janet: Blow it oot yer bagpipe!
Daisy: This could be a problem.
*Peach thinks for a moment and ten drags Zelda away to whisper in her ear*
Peach, whispering: When we're out there, I'm going to bring us up beside Link and Bonny Janet. Find a way to make tensions fly.
Zelda: I don't know Peach-
Peach: Link is the best fisher on their side! You have to, for the team.
*Zelda reluctantly nods. The teams are set! The battle begins...*

No Speed Limit | Chapter 3
Summary: Some people live to race while others race to live. When an uptown girl’s and street racer’s worlds collide, their lives are bound to change. For the better or worse, it’s hard to tell. In-between rivalry and unwanted sparks, there’s definitely a bumpy road ahead (with no speed limit).
Words: 2.6k
Chapter index
Hanbin knew that if he told anyone about having a hot girl over at his apartment and not doing anything beside throwing a pillow at her, most people would think he had gone nuts or started whispering about him playing for the other team. So he didn't tell anyone and apparently Soyeon didn't either because it had been weeks and there were no rumours about this little lie. Oh well they didn't even have to lie, just not correct the wrong assumptions. Bobby had been adamant at first trying to get those juicy details out of him but Hanbin wasn't a big talker anyway, so it didn't really surprised his circle that he didn't go around telling everyone that he got laid. Which he didn't.
He had bigger problems than that.
He groaned when the next blow send him to the floor clutching onto his stomach that ached from the hit it took repeatedly. His palms were scratched, proofs of the rough asphalt’s marks on his skin as he pushed himself up spitting blood onto the dirt. He got one more kick in his side and only then when he collapsed onto the floor with his pride stepped on did Giriboy told the other guys to stop and let him be. The exactor crouched down next to him and patted his bruised cheeks like a parent would do with a disobedient child.
“Look Kim… how many times do I have to tell you that we take deadlines seriously? Big boss won't be so forgiving every fucking time just because you're a mediocre driver and he wins whenever he bets on you. You owe him money, he wants that back, it's that simple,” he explains so helpfully one would think he really wanted Hanbin to get rid of the debt he wasn't even responsible for. Having a shitty family background and parents who overdosed on drugs is enough to chase him into it. Because of course they owed a large sum of money to their dealer who now kept coming at Hanbin to get it back.
“Two more month. Just two more,” he whispered almost too weak to be even heard. Giriboy leaned annoyingly close to his face to make out the next mumbled words, his vicious smile appearing right in front of Hanbin's hazy vision. “A big competition is coming up.”
One of the biggest actually and he planed to get out of here if he won. From that money, he could not only pay off the debt, but get rid of that shitty apartment and actually do something with his life. He didn't have big dreams, all he wanted was a simple life without dealers breathing down on his neck and a bunch of strangers attacking him in dark alleys on his way to the convenience store. He wanted nothing more than a few friends and a car to drive. Was it really that much to ask for?
“A big competition, huh?” the exactor spit on him and let out a mocking laugh that hurt almost as much as the punches. “I heard you had money to buy new car components but not to pay us?”
Hanbin just gritted his teeth willing himself not to throw back any insult return before they really beat him to half-dead. He needed his car to get money, so of course he needed to spend money on his car, so that it could be in its best shape.
“If we gave you two months you wouldn't even be able to pay the interest,” Giriboy clicked his tongue while he sat back on his heels. He pretended to think out loud giving him more time to suffer, to feel miserable and humiliated that his life is basically in the hands of a tyrant. “You get one month and if you don't pay back the whole amount interest included then we will meet again and we won't be so kind.”
The driver just grunted as he acknowledged the new offer and let out a breath when the footsteps started to fade away in the distance. He wasn't sure how long he stayed there lying on the hard ground that was cold even after the scorching heat of summer Sun that shone on it all day. It took him quite some time to gather enough strength to get up, standing to his wobbly feet and crawl back home, the beer and bread he wanted to buy long forgotten.
“Shit bro, they got your good this time,” Bobby grimaced when he saw his best friend's swollen cheeks and split lips next morning. The car repair shop where they both and a few more from their crew worked was busy even in early morning. The others only greeted him nonchalantly or hissed at seeing his beat up face. Two of the girls in the corner whispered about something while keeping their eyes on their duo.
“You should see my ribcage. It looks like some fucked up, rotten eggplant,” Hanbin shrugged and threw his bag onto the floor next to the stall he usually worked at. Among them there was not much privacy or anything to be shy about, so he quickly got out of his shirt and kicked off his pants to put on his mechanic uniform instead. He was in the middle of putting his arms in it when Bobby grabbed the hem of his undershirt and pulled it up to see the expressionist painting blooming on his chest and stomach.
“Fuck. That's not good,” he mumbled letting go of the material. Genuine worry flashed in his eyes as he watched Hanbin get into the uniform properly. “What are you gonna do about it?”
“I dunno. Participate in more races maybe?” Hanbin sighed. Even after taking painkillers he had a tough night, he could barely think, not to make plans about how to get the money as fast as he could. A month of small races and working here he knew wouldn't cover it all, especially now that the boss increased the interest on it.
“What about a job that pays more?” Yuna walked over to them followed by Haesoo closely. The sisters were the only female addition of their small crew but they could take apart a car and put it back together like it was nobody's business.
Hanbin knew the two of them just wanted to help, this entire community was their safe haven, like a chosen family that supportive each member but he knew the usual requirements for well-paid jobs and without any kind of certificate he had no chance.
“I'm a high school dropout. Where they would take me?”
“I actually know the perfect job for you,” Haesoo exclaimed with enthusiasm which Bobby was watching warily but Hanbin didn't notice any of it. “A friend of one of our cousins works for this super rich family and they need a new chauffeur.”
“You mean personal driver?”
“I guess.” the girl shrugged tapping her chin while thinking. “I don't know exact details but I can get info for you about the pay and the application process. It's what you like and know how to do, right? To drive, so...”
“Yeah, thanks Haesoo. That would be cool if you could get a number for me,” Hanbin nodded, hastily agreeing because what was the worst thing that could happen? They reject him and then what? It wouldn't have mattered. But it was worth a try, especially since the girl was right: driving was the activity he enjoyed most in this world and it came to him the easiest, so getting paid for doing that seemed almost too good.
To get the job was actually easier than he thought. After he got the contact info and talked with some assistant of the family, he had to submitted a copy of his driver licence and a paper to prove his clean record. Then he was called in for a test drive with eleven other applicants and he finally met the owner of the voice from the calls' other end. Both his manners and driving skills were tested but according to him, it went well. Pretty well in fact because two days later he got the job. He was sent an elegant uniform and a contract to sign, then he was called in to start working from Monday.
“Oh man I never thought I would live the day to see you in a tuxedo,” Bobby snorted when he saw him fully dressed in his shiny new black and white uniform that morning. It was a famous brand, a high quality suit, so Hanbin had no reason to complain yet he missed his less rigid clothes. It felt like he was tucked in some kind of prison of clothes wearing this well ironed shirt and pants.
“Are you envious?” Hanbin croaked a brow at his friend jokingly while fixing his cuff links.
“Well chicks dig guys in tuxedos, so… In your shoes, I would be careful with the old man's wife,” Bobby joked and quite a few of the others present joined the laughter. Hanbin just shook his head. He didn't care about wives committing adultery or daughters drooling at his sight. He was in it for money and the money only. He didn't even care what kind of family he had to drive for as long as they had money, it was enough for him.
“Or get yourself a sugar mommy,” Jinhwan yelled from his place and laughter erupted again at the eldest's stupid joke.
Hanbin checked the time on his watch and knew he should go soon if he wanted to be on time on his first day of work. But before he could move an inch, Yuna stepped in from of him with a shy smile and blush on her cheeks.
“Your bruises heal nicely,” she commented quietly as she take out a cotton pad from her makeup bag and leaned closer to apply some foundation and powder over the fading marks on Hanbin's face.
The boy inhaled sharply as the girl ever so slowly worked on the perfect outcome. He waited patiently because without her help he probably wouldn't have gotten his job anyway if he showed up at the interview like the ragged thug he really was. After she was satisfied with the result, Yuna pulled back examining his features before her eyes settled on his lips.
“Oh your lips healed already,” she remarked poking on the not anymore sore spot on the boy's mouth playfully. Well, it has already been a week since the incident, so luckily all the bruised and wounded areas got better and less painful.
“Yeah. Thanks Yuna,” Hanbin smiled as grateful as he could. He was indeed lucky to have the whole crew having his back for this.
“Don't mention it,” the girl shrugged and walked away just as fast as she came.
Not much later Hanbin was off to go too, so he bid his quick goodbyes and got into his car. As he drove off the suburb shop, all his friends hollered after him and Bobby even joked that he shouldn't forget where he came from once he got together with crazy rich chick. From the outskirts of the city the more he approached the downtown worn one-storey houses were changed to tall apartments with barely any place between them and when he left the busy part of the city behind, the Gangnam luxury welcomed him. His car was clearly out of place and he got a few looks while turning into the driveway of a smaller palace-like house at one corner. After identifying himself, the security guard told him to park in front the garage that had four identical black Audis in it. Woah, they sure were on a different level.
“Good morning, Mr. Kim. Please follow me inside. The family wishes to meet you,” the assistant he met the other time greeted him as soon as he got out of the car.
He tried not to stare too much while he looked around in the fancy house as he was led into the living room. There sit a couple in their 40s in elegant clothes and serious expressions on their faces.
“Mr. Jeon, Mrs. Jeon, let me introduce you the newest addition to our staff. Mr. Kim will be the personal driver of Miss Jeon from now on,” the assistant introduced them and Hanbin didn't forget to bow deeply in front of his new employers.
“I hope he will deal with her better than the earlier ones,” the woman muttered and it peaked the boy's interest. How bad that girl could have been to chase away his previous drivers? He sure hoped she wouldn't be some annoying twelve-year-old with an obsession about idols because he might not take that too well either.
“Welcome, Mr. Kim. I hope you will ensure my daughter's safety and make sure she follows her schedule,” Mr. Jeon reached for his hand and shook on it firmly.
“I will try my best, sir,” Hanbin nodded and started to get slightly nervous from all this big fuss around the whole situation. Not to mention that the man in front of him looked strangely familiar but he couldn't tell from where.
“This is the car key. You will get it every morning here and have to hand it in after your working hours. And this is your work phone. Make sure to be always available. It has every number in it you need and you get Miss Jeon's schedule texted to you the day before. You can find today's in the calendar app already,” the assistant handed him the two items but before he could check what's his exact job for today, footsteps echoed on the staircase closeby.
“Soyeon, your new driver is here. Don't you dare sneak out!” Mrs. Jeon raised her voice and when Hanbin lifted his head to see who caused this stir in the motion, his jaw almost dropped. “And how many times do I have to tell you not to dress like that in university?”
Hanbin's mind barely recognized all the complaints the woman made as his eyes got fixed on the slim figure ascending the stairs. The girl wore leather pants with crop top and a jacket thrown over her shoulders. She flipped her long, black hair with such elegance only their kind had as her gaze lazily settled on the small crowd in the living room.
Her sharp gaze met Hanbin's only for a moment but he could tell she recognized him, too. There was a moment hesitation in her movements before her perfect mask was back on.
“I don't have time to get changed. I'm out,” she turned her back to them and walked in confident strides towards the garage. She had the same fire in her that burnt when her brother lost that stupid bet. That was actually quite impressive.
“Good luck, Mr. Kim,” the politician - oh of course, how could he not recognize him? - ushered the driver to go after her and it was the first time since he got the job that Hanbin actually thought he will need luck to deal with it.
Because now he got to drive around the girl who was offered to him as a prize, the girl he thought he would never see again, the girl who had been on his mind more times than he would like to admit.

Love me, love me not ~ pt. 3
03: When Grayson walks the red carpet
Summary: Grayson recounts the past week before walking the red carpet with Y/N and Ethan.
Warnings: swearing, fluff, angst, SMUT
Word count: 3000
Love me, love me not ~ Series Masterlist
"Wait, so what happened?" Ethan was a little lost, finally getting the truth from his brother who had been rather coy for the past week. "You kissed her and Henry stormed off and through the paps and you went inside and stayed the night?" Ethan repeated the version the media believed, the one they all assumed considering Grayson was seen leaving the next morning, disheveled, his shirt missing a few buttons.
"Yeah. And then..." Grayson licked his lips, trying not to smile because he genuinely didn't know if there was anything to smile about.
"Bro, tell me! I've gots to know!" Ethan insisted, well aware he's acting like a fan instead of like his twin, but he was rather lost on number of things that happened in the past week and he needed answers. His attraction to Y/N may or may not be a big reason why, but hey, no harm in looking was his life moto.
"And then she closed her door and slapped me so hard I saw stars." Grayson licked his lips, wanting to continue before Ethan chuckled so loudly, a small squeal had made his laugh sound like a kicked puppy.
"And then she pushed me against the wall and kissed me even harder." Grayson continued, making Ethan's laugh die in an instant.
"She fucking kissed you?!"
Her hands ran up and down his chest as her lips claimed his - passionately, roughly, determinedly. Without a word, she started to unbutton him, her cold fingertips brushing his warm skin - until she lost patience and ripped his shirt open, pressing her palm against his chest as he broke the kiss.
"You stopped the kiss?!" Ethan exclaimed, unsure if he should let him finish the story or punch him in the face for missing out. If it wasn't clear by now, Ethan lived vicariously through Grayson.
"Wait. Y/N, are you sure?" Grayson breathes out, his own brain malfunctioning as she stepped back long enough just to pull her shirt over her head and give him a glare.
"Less talky, more kissy." She ordered, drawing a smile on his lips as she pushed him toward her bedroom, her lips reattached to his, her teeth sinking into his bottom one.
"So you actually? Like, you really - ya know?" Ethan winked suggestively, smiling like a goof who was very proud of his little brother.
"Wait. Hold up! Do you have a condom?" Y/N stopped herself, her brain working just enough to let some sane thinking push down on her incredulous desire.
Grayson groaned, his hands moving from her breasts to his face as he realized how unprepared he is. But he how could he have expected this to happen?
"Fuck." She cussed under her breath, pulling his briefs down.
Grayson's eyes snapped open, propping himself up on his elbows as he watched her cold little hands take his already hardened cock in her hand, her eyes hungrily inspecting it.
"What are you doing?" He chucked, unable to hold off the bubbling laughter of confusion and enthusiasm of having her touch him, feeling himself twitch on her palm.
"You'll fit." She smiled, leaning forward her body covering his entirely, naked completely and pressing in all the right places as he released a shuddered breath. Y/N reached her nightstand, pulling out an XXL sized condom, smiling victoriously as she showed him.
"You just have those lying around?" Grayson questioned as she shrugged, her thumb grazing over his sensitive, pink tip, making him shiver as a chill went down his spine.
"Gonna question it or gonna let me ride you until you can't breathe?"
"She dominated you! Oh my God, I love this!" Ethan threw his head back, tapping his legs on the ground as his arms crossed over his chest, laughing once again.
"Bro, that's not even the worst part." Grayson scowled, rubbing his forehead in frustration.
Heaving, Grayson could hardly get enough of the view on top of him - her beautiful mouth opening in pleasure every time she sunk down on him, her eyes rolling back into her head, her breasts bouncing as she speeds up, her hands placed over his chest to keep herself steady. She'd reach back with her left hand - fondling his balls every chance she could, prompting his loud, uninhibited moans that drew an honest smile upon her lips. He'd rub her clit every time she did so, returning the favor until she pushed his hand away and placed her own back on his chest.
However, closer to their high, Grayson had watched her move like a goddess on top - half convinced this is a wet dream instead of reality, giving his orgasm a chance to hit fully as he trusted up and into her, taking her by surprise as she gasped, giving her an unexpected release as she clenched around him.
And that's when it happened, a loud wheeze filled the room, forcing Y/N down from her pleasurable high much sooner than she'd like, finding Grayson unable to breathe.
"You had a fucking asthma attack?!" Ethan cackled, falling off his chair as the story pieced together in his head, looking at his embarrassed brother with a look of disbelief.
"She found my inhaler in my pants and we fell asleep soon after. I mean...there was cuddling, but I woke up alone. There were pancakes on the kitchen counter, her key left on a note - Didn't want to wake you. Last night never happened. Lock up after and keep the key. - and she was gone. I was supposed to drive her. Instead, I saw her two days later and only for a few minutes and we weren't even alone." Grayson slammed his head down in his desk, cringing at the situation, unable to decipher this girl he barely even knew.
"She rocked your world, got scared she might have killed you and decided never to fuck you again. That's what I think happened." Ethan's opinion didn't help. Hell, Grayson hoped it was anything but that.
Their relationship was already the talk of town, their first public outing later that night as the E! Choice Awards nominated the Dolan twins and they were expecting a win. But he wanted to know what to expect with her.
While he was getting ready, Ethan stepped in and opened the front door as she came in, all glammed up, her dress with her assistant who came along.
"Can we talk?" Ethan asked, a little serious which definitely didn't seem like him from what she could tell.
"Sure." She smiled, giving a small nod to her crew to leave them alone.
"You know." She deadpanned, aware how Grayson always said he and Ethan had no secrets between them. She also wondered how long will she be able to go on without them realizing she knows them a little too well for someone they've never met.
"Look, he's my brother and I love him, but his heart is in his penis and his brain in his chest and his head is just a bunch of butterflies and rainbows and unicorns. I get that your heart isn't in your vagina and having sex with him probably meant nothing, but he falls in love with every girl that smiles back at him and thinks he's found a soulmate in every girl who cares for him. Just, don't play with his feelings, okay?" Ethan's words left her speechless, he could tell just by a gentle flush of her cheeks that showed through her make up. He stunned her into silence.
"That wasn't my intention. I promise I'll be professional from now on. I wasn't quite in my right mind that night, so have no worry." She flashed a weak smile, passing by him as she got into the bathroom, getting dressed as well. But that's not what Ethan wanted. He expected her to admit she's into Grayson, or that she wanted something real, but she simply brushed it off and he knew Grayson will definitely be hurt by that.
Finally dressed, Y/N had walked to the middle of the hall, meeting a very handsome looking Grayson Dolan.
"Don't you look dashing in that suit!" She complimented, noticing the older Dolan come into view as well. "Both of you look incredibly handsome." She smiled widely, clicking her heels before dropping her gaze, realizing she's top excited and they might see through her.
"And you look stunning." Grayson smiled, reaching out and grasping her hand in his. He had never seen her all dolled up before. Well, not in real life. He didn’t believe she could get anymore beautiful, but oh, how wrong he was.
"I - uh, wanted to ask if you're free this weekend?" Grayson's shy attitude and shaky hand alerted her, but she remained ambivalent, her eyes losing the warmth from just a moment ago as she looked up at Grayson, trying not to remember how heavenly he looked under her - because he looked like pure porn in her mind, even fully dressed as he is now.
"Actually, I have to go to Paris." She excused, pressing her lips together in a form of a silent apology, her fingertips dancing along his palm as she hoped to withdraw her hand, but his tightened grip didn't allow it.
"That's what I wanted to ask you about. Louis Vuitton invited Ethan and me to attend and do a few photos and since you're supposed to be my girl, I thought to invite you." Grayson tilts his head right, his sort brown eyes doing much more damage to her than a thousand knives to a heart.
"Me too. So, lose the puppy dog eyes cause I guess we're attending together. Good chance to get to know each other before we get a few interviews in line." And while she didn't want to turn it into a business deal, the trip something that genuinely mattered to her, she had to find a way to explain why her finger twitched when her heart skipped a beat.
"Your hand isn't as cold anymore." Grayson remarked, quietly, almost as a whisper.
"When fire and ice meet, ice usually loses the battle." She shrugged, raising her eyebrow before nodding over her team to file out, opening the limousine she had rented for the three.
"We're going in style then?" Ethan fist bumped Grayson, happily sitting inside, screaming loudly in his excitement.
"You're gonna spoil him." Grayson fought to keep a smile at bay, glancing at her from the corner of his eye only to find her looking up at him.
"Gotta create some good memories for the children." And whether she knew it or not, the statement went straight to his heart. Grayson’s mind instantly crafted a picture perfect family for the two, shaking his head to stop himself from going overboard.
“Coming?” Y/N smiled, looking back at the gentle giant she tried hard not to let into her heart, wondering if she can do it when even at a few days mark, Grayson made her head spin.
“Yeah.” Grayson bit his lower lip, trying not to think about her asking him the same in bed, just a little differently with a sultry tone and hooded eyes and lot less clothes.
The drive was pleasant, Ethan and Grayson bickering about the Halloween decorations Y/N found ever so present this time around, their home looking more like a haunted house than an actual house. But she didn’t mind, simply watching out the window as she hoped she could put her mind at ease and get through the night without hiccups.
“We’re here.” Grayson’s warm hand on top of hers had brought her back to reality, the flashing lights already going off even with the limousine door unopened, her stomach knotting into an anxious mess as she accepted Grayson’s hand and let him lead her out.
A Dolan at either side, Y/N felt like the Belle of the ball. She couldn’t help but smile proudly, even a little victoriously as the crowd screamed as they passed the red carpet together, taking a few photos alone with Grayson as requested by a few photographers.
She was very aware of his arm around her as it pulled her close, his hand on her hip, giving it a light squeeze. He’d lean into her, his lips pressing a tender kiss to her temple, making her tingle with anticipation of something more - something she said she wouldn’t do again.
But then he spun her into his chest, her hand pressing against it as she looked up, finding his face rather near, inches away as his peppermint breath caused her eyes to water.
“And here’s the hottest couple in town!” Giuliana Rancic welcomed them after finishing up with Ethan, ecstatic to be the first to speak to them since they’ve been spotted together.
“Your dress is to die for!” She added and Grayson used the opportunity to help Y/N twirl, showing off all the best parts of her truly breathtaking look.
“Good to see you, Mercy. We’ve been missing you.” Giuliana continued. “And on the arm of such a handsome man. Tell us how you two met.”She pushed the microphone toward Grayson who looked like he’d throw up any moment now, despite his dapper smile. Y/N steered the microphone toward herself, deciding to save him as she actually had a story to sell.
“Well, after Ellen had gotten me to choose this hunk as someone I’d date, I found him in my Instagram messages the same night.” Y/N blushed, looking back at Grayson who just nodded, his hand on her hip giving more than just a reassuring squeeze - he held onto her for support.
“And she ignored me for days.” Grayson adds, chuckling.
“But he was persistent and well...look at him!” Y/N pointed at her date, giggling. “I was quite happy there was such a beautiful soul inside an Apollo as him. I genuinely didn’t expect to find someone who would have my heart a few hours into the first date.” Y/N wasn’t lying...not really. She was worried he had won her over and she was resisting him with every fibre of her being. Not that she had much strength to begin with after the public masacre she endured.
“You had me before we even met.” Grayson pecked her cheek, pulling her into his side as Giuliana gushed how perfect they seem to be and how she expects to be invited to the wedding.
Finally inside, Y/N had introduced the twins to dozens of people, all capable of furthering their career when the time comes. Grayson was patient with her, not bringing up their night, but he was on the edge - itching to say something - anything.
And he did...right after he and his brother had been called to the stage as winners for Social Star award.
“And I also want to thank my beautiful girlfriend for bearing with me and the crazy filming schedule Ethan puts me on - for giving me amazing days and...memorable nights.” With a wink, the two waved goodbye, leaving the stage as Y/N stood up and went backstage as well.
“What the hell was that?” She whisper shouted, stopping Grayson backstage, her eyes set alight with fury and mixed feelings about his insinuation. Sure, a rational part of her knew it was a good, strategic move on his behalf, one that ensures their lie can continue, but the irrational part - one she had frozen to death in her head and in her heart, the one that’s been hurt time and time again and had left her in shambles for letting people in too easily, for being too naive...that part of her wanted to scream at the man before her.
“I can’t pretend it didn’t mean anything. Angel, I can’t.” Grayson sighed deeply, feeling his chest constrict under her heavy glare.
“You need to learn to. This is a business transaction, remember? Nothing else. Sooner you get it through your thick head, the better.” She poked his chest angirly, huffing as she went to the bathroom to calm down. The rest of the night she was poise and composure, picture of elegance - as was he...no one could see his broken heart and hurt ego.
“You okay, bro?” Ethan checked in with him before bed, noticing he’s zoned out, mind elsewhere.
“I can’t do this, E. This is too much.” Grayson ran a hand through his hair, licking his lips.
“You can either accept her words or try and find a way to change her mind. I don’t think she’s the type to sleep with someone she just met and yet, she slept with you. There’s more to it, but I also think you should ignore it. She’s a mess - a beautiful mess, sure, but broken beyond repair. Probably best to just do your duty and get that audition and forget her.” Ethan reasoned, his words harsh but ringing truth.
But Grayson knew it would be impossible. Two days later, he’d be in Paris with her and while she was the main cause behind his throbbing headache and aching heart, she was also the one girl he believed would be perfect for him. And yes, he had thought so about a couple more before she came along, but this time was different - he felt it in every cell his body is comprised of, down to the twenty-one grams of soul he was given. He couldn’t give her up.
“If she’s a mess, I’ll help her clean it up and if she’s broken, I’ll fix her. She’s real and she’s a very complicated girl, but I want to know her. You’re the one who said nothing could go wrong.”
Ethan simply shrugged, deciding to let him be because he did say that and he didn’t want to admit he’s wrong for he underestimated Y/N and her charm and her ever enchanting nature. “It’s your funeral, bro.”

Mother-in-law
Sometimes I look back at my life and wonder if I made the right decisions. Like, did I do the right thing by leaving her? What if we were still together, what would our kids look like? Maybe I think about it too much or maybe I didn’t think about it enough. But I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks about things like these. We all have that one “X” we wonder about sometimes.
“Sometimes mi think mi salt to rass eno”. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. I had seen this chick a few times while I was in sixth grade, but I had never gotten a chance to say hi. She’d either turn her head away whenever she saw me or looked right through me when our eyes met. I left my school early several times just so I could see her in the evenings. If you asked me, she was my girlfriend long before I even knew her name. I stalked her for weeks before her stupid ass boyfriend decided I should stop coming to see her. Like, who the fuck he think he is? I was checking out his girl and he be cockblocking. Nigga had the audacity to collar me, threaten me then shove my face off. I warned him, fixed my collar and acted like he didn’t shove my face off. Thinking he would walk away feeling like a winner. Instead, he thought I turned the other cheek. Again he shoved my face off, this time I almost fell. With my temper in my head and my blood boiling in my veins, I used him to uninstall half the bathroom decor. Tucked my shirt in and walked out. Walking like I owned the place. I was approached by at least twelve of his friends with all of who had sticks and stones. Call me a fool if you want but I ran for my life. Through the gate and over the bushes. As much as I wanted her I didn’t think she was worth the trouble at the time. After all, there’s no way I could win that fight. I called it a loss and dodged that side of town completely.
I hadn’t seen her for about three years so I had forgotten completely. Out of sight out of mind as they would always say. My brother invited me to a party one evening. Claiming there will be girls waiting for me. Of course I went, I had nothing else to do. I got dressed up and pulled up like we owned the place. So many girls I didn’t even know who to talk to. I had to be easing them off.
Bro: Yow bro, I got a girl I want you to meet.
Me: How she look?
Bro: Come and see
I went with expectations of meeting anyone, as I had no idea who I was gonna meet.
Bro: Meet Chin
At the time her back was turned so I anticipated her face. She looks pretty from back but when she turned to say hi I almost fainted. I couldn’t even talk.
Chin: I think I’ve seen you somewhere before. Do you know me? I stood there in amazement, looking at her from head to toe. Are you ok?
In my mind, I answered her several times but in reality, my mouth scratched like an old tape.
She couldn’t help but laugh when I finally said hi. After standing there for so long even I thought I was dumb. We talked and talked and talked some more about shit I don’t even remember. Within minutes we knew everything about each other. Just like that, she became my girlfriend. We exchanged numbers as I was about to leave and received a kiss on the cheek. Overwhelmed with excitement I couldn’t even sleep that night. I finally got the girl I wanted so badly. We spent most of our nights on the phone and texted right throughout the day. I was head over heels for her, balls deep in love. I couldn’t even sleep if we were mad. For a week we arranged link ups to take her virginity but something always came up. She could hardly ever leave the house so I decided I’d go take her virginity there. Her mom was cool but sure as hell she was no fool. She realized what I was up to from early and she tried everything in her power to stop it. Whenever I came by she’d ensure she found something for her to do or try to insult her so I wouldn’t like her. The harder she fought me out, the harder I tried. Funny thing about this, she kept calling me son-in-law to my face then. I was baring the name and not playing the game.
Eventually, she went to the market one weekend, leaving her to oversee her younger siblings. I had nothing but myself holding me back that day and I sure as hell wasn’t gonna stop my own progress. As soon as night fell I was in her bed. Kissing on her neck, grabbing on her ass, hickeys on her breast, hickeys on her sides. I slowly rubbed my tongue along her shoulder while squeezing her nipples. I made her beg me to take her virginity. With gentle rubs and soft strokes, I stole her virginity. She “meowed” like a cat and moved like a snake until she vibrated like a phone. Somehow her grandmother saw me leaving in the morning and that was a whole “nother” drama. She got beaten so bad I thought she was stung by a bee. They wanted her to retrieve her virginity as if it was something she could pop back in. They were under her skin, trying to find out who’d run away with the prize. No matter what they said or threatened to do, she never ratted me out. I didn’t see her until weeks after that. Looking freshly painted and even thicker than the last time I had seen her. Again she invited me over. It would seem she had forgotten that twenty-eight inch machete across her body. Either way, I was dying to fuck her so of course I showed up. Just as I was about to leave her stepfather came. Knocking the door as if he was a police. I dodged under the bed with the twenty eight inch machete, premeditating to slap the shit out of him if he caught me. After trying to convince her to leave me he left. He claimed her mother hated my guts and wanted me thrown in juvie. I fucked her again and again before spitefully falling asleep. I passed her mother on the road while going home and again she called me her handsome son in-law. Asking when last I had seen her daughter as if she thought I was a fool. I played it cool. Acting like I was unaware of her “fuckery”.
She hated me so much she got her a man. Now that’s just fucked up. Crushing my dream like that and she still had the guts to call me her son-in-law. I wanted to slap her so hard so many times and I wanted to slap her daughter for taking the bate. For months I never spoke to her. Acting as if she never existed. I was doing fine till her boyfriend said no one could take his girl, even if they tried. I wanted to hit them where it hurts. Her, Her mom, stepdad, grandma, and boyfriend. I spent weeks premeditating my revenge. Finally, I caught her alone one night in her grandmother’s washroom. I didn’t even wait for an invitation. I banged her hard against the machine causing her to scream. We ended up in his bedroom in her grandma’s house where I banged her till my heart was pleased. I walked out of his room fixing up my clothes only to see her grandma and mom sitting in the living room. They had this what the fuck just happened kinda look on their face. They thought it was her boyfriend inside. With a smirk on my face, I said good evening like I hadn’t done anything wrong.
Me: Mother-in-law, lata eno.
I could see her heart melt in her chest as I stepped through the door and that made me feel like I had won. Her grandma couldn’t even talk. And as for her boyfriend who was playing music outside, he almost fainted when he saw me. He knew what just happened and he knew he had lost his bet. All that talk about his girlfriend. A total waste of time. Would you believe he chased me all the way home? Threatening to punch me in the face for fucking his girl on his bed. I had nothing on me at the time so of course I ran like a coward. Her mom beat her purple and he punched her in the eye. This made me furious, I wanted to kill them. I grabbed the machete I had taken from them months back and jumped on my bike. I rode breathless to her house to defend her. He came out like he was don, the kingpin, the big man. He attacked me with a bread knife and in seconds he was on his back. I raised the machete to off with his head but she begged me not to kill him. I punched him in the face several times before escaping in nearby bushes on my bike. it was the talk of the town as I had brought them shame. I dodged that side for months before going back and when I did, it was just the same again. I’d fuck her whenever, wherever and there’s nothing her mom could do about it. Eventually, she gave up. She realized there was no stopping us from being together. Life was good, but like everything else in my life, I fucked that up too. I don’t even remember why or how we broke up after going through so much shit back then. We planned on having kids and getting married. Somewhere along the line life happened. No wedding, no kids, no communication. Just an “X” mother-in-law who will always hate me.
Over the years I’ve realized that there will always be someone trying to fuck things up for you. But if you really want it, do everything in your power to have it. Enjoy life a little. Make memories, make mistakes and have no regrets.

TRR 3.20 "A Warm Reception" what does that mean. does that mean FIRE i am on edge
I'm expecting it to go all nice and heartwarming, and then Anton shows up at the end. We shall see.
Officially longer than any other TRR book! We’re in uncharted territory now!
From what I saw from my roommate’s Liam playthrough, a lot of the carriage dialogue is mostly the same no matter who’s there, but, I do like this as a callback to awesome-storm Maxwell-Riley from the Homecoming ball, or Duke Whirlwind Dancemaster-Deluxe. With Maxwell, everyone keeps emphasizing how our lives together will be full of adventure and never be boring. ♥
You fools, take this chance to make out in the carriage! No! F O O L S
Oh. Hello Ana! She’s got a new dress for us, of course.
... Mehhhhh sorry not into that plasticy cutout look. Why do they keep doing that, it doesn't look like fabric. Sorry Ana, I’m gonna stick with what I've got.
Maxwell says it doesn’t matter what Riley’s wearing, he and everyone else won’t be able to keep his eyes off her. :’) ♥ bro
Ana, a true friend (despite how I keep tossing out all her hard work) leaves us alone in the boutique.
We are a storm... a hurricane… a mega punching robot... of love
sweet nervous boy. Riley literally said “I do” (well, ‘hell yeah’ in my case) and he’s still can’t help doubting a little.
now makeouts?? nope, Madeline. Girl you are about to get stabbed. ANA, WHY DIDN’T YOU STOP HER, I’M SORRY, I’LL WEAR THE DAMN DRESS
(If we keep trying and then getting interrupted, only to finally succeed I will actually love that.)
Oooooo the reception hall is so pretty! Damn, they have really been outdoing themselves with the art lately. First the cathedral, now this. *__*
People coming up to tell us how we made them cry out our vows! Yessss tell us all about your tears! Our love is powerful, baby.
Took no screenshots of Hana’s parents so I can ignore that they came.
NEVILLE?! WHAT THE F. RASHAD, DID YOU BRING HIM. DUDE. YOUR FRIEND IS SHITTY AND NO ONE LIKES HIM, STOP BRINGING HIM PLACES.
You know, at the beginning of the tour we heard Neville wasn't even planning on coming to the wedding so I guess that's........ ssssomethingg..g..........…
like maybe he’ll get shot this time. aim better, assassins
Anyway, better people now! Hello friends!
Hana says we were like a fairytale! Even Drake is getting poetic. Liam sees how much we love each other. Maxwell has won the wife lottery. Excellent, so much love here.
LMAO....... SAVANNAH EYEING BERTRAND LIKE, HUH.... MARRIAGE..... HOW BOUT..... THAT...…. :|
Me and Maxwell, poster children for impulsivity: YEAH, JUST DO IT JUST JUMP INTO MARRIAGE IT'S GREAT
Bertrand : *SWEATS BUCKETS*
Hgnngggg I would stab a man for that wedding food right now. I picked Drake’s beef pork stew and oh my god...……. How do they always make it sound so good???
[pause to google feijoada recipe]
Time for toasts! Maxwell’s...….. awwww. ;___;
He starts it as a Once Upon A Time story of how Riley was whisked away to love a prince, but her happy ending was swapped when she fell for the court jester instead.
(Flashing back to the apple festival and Maxwell being excited to be jester. Good times.)
My heart is bursting. I love our story too T_T
Andddd he just blurts out about the hippo tattoo to everyone and covers it up with an awkward metaphor. That's a deeply Maxwell moment and I love it. ♥
Omg. Might regret it but I desperately want to hear Olivia's idea of a wedding toast.
EXCUSE YOU MADELINE, SCHEDULE SMEDULE. THE BRIDE DEMANDS TO HEAR EVERYONE RAPTURE ABOUT OUR LOVE
Olivia: So soon after I met Riley I was like "I hate that bitch" Riley: a-awwww....thanks...……
I'M DEAD "LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT" I WON OLIVIA’S RESPECT! :’D BEST DAY EVERRR
I mean we also got married but like. you get it.
“As we say in Lythikos, you’re still alive, so drink!” never change.
Liam: Aww...…. He tries but falls back on being super formal, referring to me as "Cordonia’s newest dutchess” and me “being a friend to Cordonia and [him]”
It's ok buddy, sneak out whenever you're ready. Hana and Drake can cover for you.
Hana: Hana wins the toast both for having the most insightful things to say, and also being LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE (besides Bertrand) TO TALK ABOUT MAXWELL. She also made me cry, so like, triple points. 😢 😭 I love her so muuuuch.
Drake: “I knew you were trouble when you walked innnn~”
Those were some real nice things you said about me but YOU ARE THE BEST MAN.
I know I'm great and we're all in love with me, but come on.
Alright here’s Bertrand, he’s gotta talk about Maxwell.
new big bro you will be NICE to your BROTHER or I STG
starting out rocky what with the “wow Maxwell made like so many mistakes” business. let him rest, it’s his day, good lord
*snaps fingers in front of his face* BABS, FOCUS
OH. OH OKAY. HE TURNED IT AROUND. HE SAID HE LOVES HIS BROTHER IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. THE DANCING COMMENT AND EVERYTHING AND HE ADMITTED MAXWELL DOESN'T NEED TO GROW UP. I'M. OVERWHELMED.
In which I will take any choice that turns Riley into a woo girl. And Kiara’s family continues to be my favorite. They’re coming over to Valtoria Revanasi all the time.
After all that, my toast was … whelming. I did get my vows already, so I guess it’s whatever.
First dance time! Aww this track is giving me HSS prom flashbacks. Michael I hope you're happy out there.
Apparently Maxwell picked the song, which can only mean he is a secret HSS fan.
“Partners” is such a lovely title for these two. I've always loved the term, you're partners in crime, partners for life, but they're also dance partners.
Number of times Maxwell has done the dip kiss: 4. This boy SMOOTH AS HECK.
Bertrand is scandalized by our nonsense but Drake understands they should take what they can get.
(where are my boy’s damn jello shots)
..... I think I just married Emperor Kuzco.
Maxwell challenges Drake to a dance off, and holy shit Drake can dance. Or at least spin kick. I'm still fairly certain he has no sense of rhythm.
....Drake did not dispute the best friend comment and I'm counting that as a win for Maxwell.
time. for. CAKE????!
Real life me is a little sad I don’t have cake. I do have fancy rice crispies from my friend’s coworker’s wedding. It’s no passionfruit cake tho :’(
(they successfully distracted me from wait where’s Olivia with cake. How dare you take advantage of my short attention span.)
Maxwell and Riley have matching swords. I might cry. That's the best.
..... Incredibly tempting to fuck up and cut the table. But OUR CAKE ok doing this right.
WHOA Bastien hello, where'd you come from.
Aww Madeline has pleased her goblin father.
Maxwell is so happy about the Cheetah cake SUCCESSSSSS [sneakily high fives Gladys]
[I hope Gladys gets cake. At least 3 slices for Gladys.]
Ooooh so Savannah and Drake's mom still came! She’s off taking care of Bertie. Bring forth the Walker matriarch, I wish to meet her. [ spoilers: we do not :( ]
Uh oh Savannah is pissed and I bet I know why~
Bertrand's only just noticed oh dear.
Savannahhhhhh pleeassssse. These two need to work on commutation so bad. I TOLD YOU TO BE DIRECT WITH THIS DUMBASS. YOU'RE STILL HINTING.
Bride awkwardly hovers outside her own reception trying to get her fool friends to communicate AGAIN.
Like I'm pretty patient and Bertrand is family but oh my god I can't be there for everything
Riley is tired too, bless her. We could totally have snuck off with Maxwell at this point but no, here we are.
Ok Riley's prize for taking the diamond option to help Bertrand one more time is that she gets to cause shenanigans. You know my girl loves a good shenanigan!
Oh my god are we getting the band back together YESSSSS
Stop one: Drake. He knows Riley by this point and senses shenanigans a mile away.
Drake: You don't need my permission, Savannah’s her own woman and all that. Bertrand: But I'd like it. Drake: ok then FUCK NO. Bertrand: :’O
Bertrand making the shocked face is always funny. Same with his mad face. Really just Bertrand emoting = comedy gold.
Drake fully won Maxwell's respect with the breakdancing, and he's won Riley's by realizing he has the power to make Bertrand do whatever he wants right now.
Drake immediately regrets his abuse of power. Aaahaha ok, ease into it.
Somehow we talked Drake into singing. I'm just saying, this would have been so much easier with him last, when peer pressure was on the table.
Maxwell has been waiting for a moment like this moment his entire life, he'd pay to be part of this.
Liam would both do anything I asked and is always down for bromance time.
There is an option to panic and throw the bouquet at Neville. I have to try that at least once. But later.
Man Riley should have demanded the boys reunite their quartet anyway. BEST WEDDING PRESENT EVERRRRR (after all their other gifts because those were actually really sweet)
Savannah: holy crap you're smiling Bertrand: Well you make me happy so fukkin get used to it
^Those are totally direct quotes.
While I’m making other people happy - TIME FOR GIFTS!
The book for Liam is a nice follow up to all his talk about how he wants to bring Cordonia peace. You’ve got faith that he can achieve his dreams! Aww.
Everyone else does surprised sprites but Drake is wary as ever. Smart dude.
Hana's gift............... Ok yeah let’s just...… move along. sigh.
At least Riley succeeded through the roof with Maxwell’s gift, he was about to pass out with all the layers this gift has. Aww, that was so worth it.
Honestly these were all kind of short. Meh. Maxwell’s was worth it, Liam’s was a nice second.
Finally can we sneak off--??
MADELINE.............. I WILL STAB YOU WITH MAXWELL’S FANCY ACTION FIGURE, DON'T THINK I WON'T
Time to see other friends! We go to Kiara first, which is good. I continue to be proud of her forever.
Penelope is me at every party. Where are the dogs. I can people watch just fine next to the dogs.
HOOOOLY SHIT
DANIEL
D A N I E L
DANIEL IS HERE, TAKING SHOTS WITH LEO
What do you know :D I have friends! Well. One friend. And no family. They’re really determined to leave that open, huh. You know, I’m okay with it.
Daniel, I admire your thrift, especially considering what it must have cost to come here on a waiter’s salary, but someone is definitely going to think you're here to serve food.
..... Whelp that came true immediately. Hey Regina.
Leo goes off with him. I guess they're bros now!
or .... well. I've seen the posts going around. Make this a trip to remember, Leo! ;)
Awwww nice moment with Regina. Look how far we’ve come! I've always liked her. She's a practical lady.
GLADYS
GLADYS IS HERE TO LET US GET ALONE TIME, FINALLY. BLESS YOU GLADYS, I COULD KISS YOU but that’s for Maxwell
Wait...... I'm getting suspicious. We're just. wandering away......… mmm :|
oh noOOOOOOOOOOooo--[all goes dark]
Aw mannnnnnnn Gladys D: Riley is never trusting anyone in this broke-ass country again. Remember how we kept talking about how in New York you can trust people to be upfront with their intentions????
[throws Daniel and Hana into a suitcase] COME ON MAXWELL, WE’RE MOVING BACK TO NEW YORK.
IS THAT SOMEONE ANTON, GLADYS
:’((((((((((((
I’m so sad, I liked her. I hope we can still win her back to our side. She seemed so surprised every time we treated her decently, I think there’s a chance. She probably got into this plot before she got to know us.
Things we know:
Liam is the only LI who doesn’t meet you in the hedge maze if you’re his LI. On the one hand, getting the king to sneak out is a whole nother level, but also he’s likely to have a big part in next week’s plot.
The poor guy is also still definitely in love with you, even if you softened the blow with the closure option. And he’s especially taking it hard if you’re with Drake. We’ll see how those things go together.
Olivia disappeared! Before cake. For their plot to work, they still need her around to make her queen. She’s loyal to Liam no matter what, but I’m still holding out hope that befriending her or not is going to play a part whether that loyalty extends completely to you.
She was also our strongest defense, what with all her knives and proclivity for stabbing. So Olivia is likely to be okay, but who knows if they will be.
Do they have our friends? We didn’t see them after gifts. concern.
what do you think? 2 more chapters? Wrap up evil plots and then have good things, hopefully? or just keep adding chapters and then it doesn’t have to end hahaaaa
