in other news ive been nominated for the Team Spirit award at work and i think thats definitely. a choice
#i know its cause my manager keeps giving me awards for 'motivation' since i do some work no one else wants to do lmao#idk if i could win cause my shift is so specific that a lot of ppl dont have contact with me unless they work insanely late or super early#so most ppl have no formed opinion on me#BUT. the ones that do work in my shift could easily vote for me hehe#cause they send me messages often telling me that i make their days better and its a pleasure to wake up and get to talk to me#...i talk to them and am sweet and caring while other members of my team are often just super direct cold and uncaring#i have more time than them to text w the chauffeurs though#so i get them#but i also think all the people that texted me how much they appreciate me and how im the best and all that.. could have easily voted for me#who knows !!#i just think my nomination is funny cause like. i have no loyalty to a company and i dont like most people in the company at all#i just treat everyone nicely in general 😭😭😭😭#but i think if i won thatd be even funnier itd be like.. thanks for the team spirit award !! anyway i unironically dont like you people#i know for a fact at least one coworker voted for me ahahhhaha#i also voted for my fav chauffeur for Employee of the Year idc#its custom to vote for ppl in your team not ppl in other teams but idccccccc he deserves it more#ive abused this man and probably commited human rights violations on him#the least i could do was vote for him#(theres cash prizes for the winners)

Happy Birthday!
summary: what they do and how they spend your birthday with you <3
warnings: none
a/n: thought of this since today is my birthday!
Kuroo Tetsurou, Kotarou Bokuto, Shouyou Hinata, & Kenma Kozume
Tumblr media
Kuroo Tetsurou
✿ Kuroo wants to make sure you have the best birthday ever
✿ he’ll throw you a surprise party and everything. He just wants you to have a good time
✿ first Kuroo will take you out to go get breakfast and you guys talk about what you have to do for that day
✿ meanwhile your friends and his friends from nekoma and karasuno are at your house decorating and getting everything set up
✿ once you and Kuroo get done with breakfast he takes you shopping so you can get some things that you want he’s paying ofc
✿ if you try to tell him that you don’t want anything or that you’ll pay for yourself he will not stand for it. He will literally force his card into the employee’s hands
✿ he’ll go with you to get your hair and nails done for your birthday so you can look all nice and pretty pls let him pick out a nail color he just wants to be helpful 😭
✿ when you’re done yaku texts him that everything is ready and to bring you home. When you get there your friends all jump out and scream happy birthday
✿ everyone plays games and eats some food and cake
✿ after the party when everyone has left Kuroo gives you your gift from him after much teasing on his part
✿ it’s a photo book full of pictures from when you two started dating and some that are pretty recent. If you look at him you can obviously see a light pink tint on his cheeks indicating that he was nervous.
✿ if you tease him about this he’ll either get defensive and playfully tell you off or admit that the reason he’s blushing is because he was nervous. No in between
Bokuto Kotarou
✿ now Bokuto is special. He will force you to stay over at his house the night before your birthday and sing you happy birthday knowing it’s not 12 yet
✿ he just loves you so much he wants to wish you a early happy birthday
✿ once it’s finally 12 bokuto will hug and kiss you so much you feel like your face and body might go numb
✿ he’s so energetic you have to tell him to save his energy for earlier in the day and to go to sleep with you
✿ when you guys wake up and do your routine bokuto is glued to you. Anywhere you go he’s going too. Bathroom? Okay, he had to go too. Kitchen? Alright, let’s make breakfast. Going back to sleep? Hmm well fine, he could use the extra few minutes.
✿ kind of like Kuroo, Bokuto will get some of his and your friends to come hang out with you for your birthday
✿ you guys might go out to eat or something and celebrate there
✿ wants everyone to know it’s your birthday and will make sure they know too. He got you one of those award ribbons saying ‘birthday girl’, ‘birthday boy’, or ‘it’s my birthday!’ And yes you have to wear it
✿ when you guys get some alone time Bokuto’s demeanor will change from playful and energetic to serious. The shift is crazy and it will catch you off guard
✿ but anyway he’ll tell you how much he loves and appreciates you and how he really hopes that you had fun for your birthday
✿ he’ll give you a handmade bracelet or necklace and some snacks cuz he’s not very good at gift giving
✿ he hopes that him making the jewelry was okay instead of him buying it. He just wanted to get you something more meaningful
Hinata Shouyou
✿ Hinata is literally bouncing off the walls
✿ he so excited for your birthday dare I say more excited than you
✿ he doesn’t know what to do but he’ll just do whatever you wanna do
✿ if you stayed over at his house then he’s waking you up with soft gentle kisses on your face, but if you didn’t then he’s the first one to tell you happy birthday once it hits 12
✿ you guys are doing everything for your birthday. Maybe even things you haven’t even tried
✿ Hinata will take you out for a little walk while holding hands with you as you talk about what plans you have for today
✿ you’ll go get some ice cream and maybe even share one together if Hinata is feeling a little bold
✿ after ice cream you guys go to get some food and talk. Hinata might even ask force you to play volleyball with him if the conversation steers towards that direction
✿ if you’re celebrating with friends or family then that’s your next stop after he absolutely crushes you in volleyball. He’s like the loudest one singing happy birthday
✿ like bokuto, Hinata is glued to you the whole day and he won’t let you go. He’s like a little puppy following you around everywhere you go
✿ for your gift Hinata made you this little diy box full of cute pictures you took at the photo booth and some cute keychains, charms, and plushies
✿ after he gives you your gifts you guys eat some cake and watch movies
Kenma Kozume
✿ kenma is pretty laidback for your birthday. Although he wants to make sure you have fun he also doesn’t want to overwhelm or overstimulate you with so much stuff
✿ he invites you to stay the night the day before your birthday under the guise of ‘playing video games’ when in reality he just wanted to be the first person to tell you happy birthday
✿ both of you stay up for hours and when it’s 12 kenma pauses his game, turns to you while having a small smile on his face, and says “happy birthday, [name]” with the softest voice ever. Depending on how brave he’s feeling he just might give you a quick kiss on the lips
✿ if there’s something that you specifically want to do that day kenma is all for it. Even if it’s something physically demanding
✿ when you both wake up he cuddles into you some more while softly talking to you as to not break the peacefulness of the room
✿ kenma will do his best to make breakfast for you but don’t expect it to be top tier cooking because he’s not really the best at it
✿ if you’re celebrating with friends and family then you guys will bake your cake together.
✿ kenma will take you to the beach later on in the day so he can have some more alone time with you. If you want to he’ll even dip his feet into the water with you (doesn’t have to be the beach it can be anywhere just someplace that isn’t very populated/crowded)
✿ when it’s time kenma will sing you happy birthday as another surprise although it would most likely take a great deal of persuasion from Kuroo for him to even consider doing it
✿ he’ll be so nervous while singing it and if you tease him about it kenma will lovingly tell you to shut up and that the only reason he did it was because it was your birthday
✿ when kenma thinks it’s an appropriate time he’ll give you your gift which was a cherry blossom tree lego set and some ramen with a heartfelt message. Like Bokuto he really isn’t good at gift giving
✿ he’s so nervous when gifting them to you. His hands are superglued to his pockets while you examine your gift. If you tell him you like it then he’ll be really happy and you both will spend the rest of the day putting together your cherry blossom tree

Decided to refresh my knowledge of bendy protagonists personalities/quirks and i can say that i forget how distant canon Audrey is from fanon one sometimes
Here's relatively short list with Audrey character analysis+random tibbits (environmental/gameplay/voice lines)
(I'll appreciate if someone will interact+most of it is under the cut!)
1. Her workplace is an unorganized mess
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On the right side: a couple of empty teacups, empty paper sheets, unopened envelope, books/notebooks, a toy ball and keys in the middle of the desk, storyboards that are UNRELATED to what she was working on;
On the left side: donut that she kept close to her elbow & storyboards while she was drawing + to-do list for a day
There's no WAY she'll be able to keep anything tidy. If you hc her and Bendy to have a familiar bond post game, she'll be as messy if not messier. Her home might be a wreck.
2. She easily distracts
- Audrey is working overtime and claims that she has "only eight hundred more frames to go" until the next deadline
But was she actually *actively* working?
She has unrelated items on her desk (listed above) and jumps on the first opportunity to get a coffee.
If she really did wanted to have a drink, she literally has a soda machine close to her office doors.
Tumblr media
Some brands of soda do have caffeine in them, right? Getting a coffee looks more like an excuse for a walk.
Bonus point: if you'll stay in her office without getting up (for 15 minutes), she'll acknowledge that she has no time to waste and will return to work instead.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- "Well, the coffee's good and all. But this work's gotta get done"
Worth to acknowledge: this girl has "employee of the month" award and some kind of animation award (boris statue) in her office .
Does she stays overtime everyday to finish something? Or other Archgate employees are even worse at their jobs, somehow?
3. She uses dry sarcasm or makes jokes a lot
Honestly, it happens really often and should be brought up in fan content more imo.
Due to the images limit i can't put a lot of examples with screnshoots but I'll quote some of them.
- "i think you and i have very different definitions of alright" (toward Allison)
Tumblr media
- "Looks like he's having a bad day" (about dead lost one with the gent pipe)
- "Ok! Yeah! And that totally makes sense" (reaction to an easter egg)
- "That's one leap of faith i definitely won't make" (about the pit in animation alley)
4. Audrey gets defensive when someone starts to talk over her or when she feels overwhelmed
Audrey either will deny what was said or will acknowledge it by being sarcastic
Prominent example of this is her reaction to Memory!Joey at the hotel:
- "Oh,now you knew my father. Well, newsflash! I didn't even knew my father...or my mother. Or anyone else in my family" (after Joey says that she has "adventurous spirit of her father")
- "What? Are you crazy?... Who do you think you are?" (after the reveal of her being created by the ink machine)
+ Similar behaviour can be seen in her short interaction with Twisted Alice (Susie).
Audrey prefers to keep conversation equal between both sides and when it fails to work, she'll either stay silent or will express frustration (which can be seen with her replying "no" to Twisted Alice and not saying anything afterwards)
5. She seems to trust Allison enough to be vulnerable around her
After leaving the spider lair, she'll try to reach to Allison through the speakers
Tumblr media
- "Alice? Are... you there?... Alice!"
She'll acknowledge that she feels scared and after Allison won't sound reassuring enough, Audrey's hand will be visibly shaking.
Allison is the only character Audrey has opened to; you'll never see her being that vulnerable with anyone else
(She is honest with Henry but not on this level)
It makes me wish they had more interactions; Allison for sure was really important in early development of the game.
6. She's blunt
Through the game Audrey is a type of person who says whatever is on her mind without hiding her intentions too much.
She's emotional and rarely thinks twice (most of her decisions are impulsive or sometimes irrational) which reflects on the way she talks.
It's often slips out through sarcasm when she gets defensive/tries to cope but it's also happens in relatively safe environment (for example, when she talks with Betty):
- "Are you...very old?" (Wilson's mansion, bedroom)
This one liner is the most random question you can say to a stranger; I doubt it was very well thought out from her side
7. Audrey easily trusts people which makes her easy to manipulate
I couldn't skip this one.
When Wilson has created a story about his "poor lost father" as a bait and Audrey did believed in this, there are multiple reasons for "why"
This either could come from her being "goodhearted" or the circumstances being used against her
- She went through whole "father trauma" in one day without being able to process anything & get proper answers:
An idea of "saving" another father (Nathan Arch) who she could've knew more than her own father (Nathan says in one tape that he meet young animators at least once) could've hit her really close to home
- Audrey never actually got a real answer on how to leave the cycle, teaming up with Wilson (who was able to enter and leave) could've looked like the only one way back
(I do acknowledge that writing in DR could've been better at places but if you do think about it in this way,it makes sense)
7.1. She is empathetic
I think that this part says everything for itself and it doesn't need to be explained. Thought, she's the one who decide if someone deserves it.
- She felt bad for hurting Bendy on accident & apologized when she was able to
- When she met Allison for the last time, she "gave" her this name, remembering that she doesn't like to be called 'Alice'
- At the end of the game she wants to try to make the cycle better for everyone.
Twisted Alice (Susie) was included which means that Audrey doesn't hold grudges against her (even with the latest one wanting to kill her previously)
8. Audrey puts her arm through an ink container without hesitation or any side thoughts
Tumblr media
IT IS a game mechanic and lore wise you can relate it to her being an ink creature
But honestly? It's in character for Audrey.
We're talking about someone who decided to go to great lengths to catch an aquarium fish (that's kept as a pet) and wanted to use it...for a recipe.
8.1. She doesn't mind eating out of trashcans
Tumblr media
If you think that wanting to use someone's pet for a recipe is too weird, you're actually wrong. But eating out of trashcan (when you have other options) may be.
Thought, she drives a line on a food that has flies or other insects on it (like "chocolate cake")...i guess in other cases, it's fine to her.
~~~~~~~
Trivial things:
- Bendy seems to be her favourite cartoon character.
She calls him "little guy" in prologue and keeps close to her storyboards where he's the main character:
Tumblr media
In the cycle, she acts joyful when she first stumbles upon the real deal.
- She loves chocolate donuts
- Audrey uses dark eyeshadows (can be seen only in prologue custscene. It's hard to notice at first)
- Her breakfast from to-do list are toasts
- She has abstract Bendy painting in her office
- It can be speculated that she's uncomfortable with being touched (or with someone being physically close), unless, she's the one who initiates it

JHS- TWISTED FEELINGS (14)
Tumblr media
Summary: After working at an award show for 2 years everything had become normal, idols were no longer exciting to see, performances became dull and every day blended together, that was until an unexpected man asked for your help.
Warning: mentions of stalking
A/N: I started university im writing this on the train home after I woke up at 4 am (currently 7:30pm) I have had 2 hours sleep and I’m drained I literally forced this out of my brain sorry if it sucks. I appreciate you.
Ch.13 | MasterList | Ch.15
Tumblr media
It took three hours for them to pry the doors open and help lift you out. You weren’t completely at the 5th floor, you’d dropped between the 5th and the 4th so the gap to escape was small, you had caught your hip on the door leaving a nasty cut and you were sure that you had a few bruises but thankfully nothing too serious.
The on-hand medical team rushed to Hoseok and Yoongi first, both of whom escaped unharmed with a scratch or two to their hands. You were about to ask them to check you over when Yoongi was already whispering to Sejin, you had no doubt it was about the stalker when his eyes fell on you, a mix of both surprised and confused.
He called you over and you did your best to walk normally, your hip felt as though it was on fire but you ignored it. Of course, there were bigger issues than your measly injuries, regardless of how much they hurt.
“I think we should go to my office.” Sejin cleared his throat, eyeing both you and Yoongi before tutting and turning around his frame becoming further away as he walks away. Yoongi was closely behind him and you were dragging your feet as you followed the pair.
Even under the circumstances you rather liked Sejin's office, the little Knick knacks, plants, random signed albums and photographed achievements scattered around the room made it feel homely. The office was similar to the members’ personal studious just without the music equipment, there was a desk, a couch, and a table. Every room in the building seemed to be made for comfort, as though the staff were always there and needed a place to relax.
“So, Yoongi-ah has said there is a stalker. Please explain.” He sighs, rubbing his temples.
You wince a little as you shift your weight onto your other leg, a failed attempt at reducing the pain you felt over your side. You recounted the story, of how the stalking started, how it continued all up to this current point.
Sejin looked at you, as though analysing to determine the weight of your explanation before he huffed and pulled his glasses off, dropping them on the desk with a thud. “What am I supposed to do here YN? The second I bring this to the senior board they are going to want you out.”
“I know.” You swallowed the lump in your throat. “I don’t want to be the reason anyone gets put in danger. I understand that this is bigger than me and I’m okay wi-“
“Absolutely not.” Hoseok burst into the room, opening the door with a thud. “She’s just as much a victim here.”
“Yes but she’s currently the target, I can’t guarantee your safety if there’s a stalker walking around,” Sejin argued.
You understood where he was coming from, you truly did, but you were equally as thankful for Hoseok defending you. You hadn’t missed the way yoongis frown deepened when Sejin had mentioned letting you go.
It was comforting if nothing else.
“I can give you a good recommendation for another employer if that helps but I don’t see a way I can guarantee everyone’s safety.”
“Her contract protects her too.” Yoongi mumbled.
“What?” Hoseok asked, leaning over to hear better.
“She signed a contract, I’ve seen the employee contracts. She has just as much right to protection as any artists do, she didn’t exactly ask to be stalked.”
“Yoongi-ssi I understand what you’re saying but we also have clauses that allow us to terminate employment should it become an issue between artists and staff.”
“And it’s not an issue,” Hoseok spoke before you could even open your mouth.
Sejin sighed, leaning back in his seat. “What are you saying?”
“I'm saying that it’s not an issue. All the members will agree.” Hoseok was firm but you very much doubted that they would all agree on risking their privacy for you.
“If we were to all agree, could she keep her job?” Yoongi asked, shooting Hoseok a look you could t decipher.
Sejina frowned smoothed out. “I guess, if you all refuse another staff member I wouldn’t have much choice and neither would the board but I’d have to call a meeting and hear your opinions individually.”
“I don’t want to cause all this trouble.” You look between the three men in the room. “I understand and I’m not mad. I’ll accept the consequences and I want to make an apology to the rest of the members for hiding something that could have severely affected their lives.” You made to stand, too embarrassed to deal with the situation when a knock on the door stops you.
“Come in.” Sejin calls out. You recognise namjoons hair before you see his face. “Namjoon-ssi?”
“Hobi texted me. I thought as the leader I should be here.” He pressed his lips together, clearly unsure what to do.
“Take a seat Namjoon-ssi.” Sejin nods towards the set of empty chairs against the wall, Hoseok sits beside him. “Hoseok would like for you all to agree against us terminating our contract with YN.”
“Hoseok texted me the details, I just don’t agree with the idea of firing someone who has been an innocent party subjected to the very thing you hope to protect us from.” Finally, all the raving on Naver you’d seen about Namjoon being the best leader made sense, he carried himself well.
“So you and the other members are willing to accept the risks that come with keeping YN employed?” Sejin challenged.
“We aren’t accepting risks, we are accepting YN as a member of our staff and we are accepting that the company will deal with the risks without firing anyone.” Namjoon reaffirms.
You kept quiet, staring at a spot on the desk, unsure what to say or do. “Okay, I’ll talk to the board and call a meeting. Namjoon-ssi if you could call the others it would be a great help.”
Sejin leaves the room, hand in clutch, leaving you alone with the three members. You cleared your throat. “Thank you all for defending me but really I don’t want to put you all in danger.”
“You’re not putting us in danger if anything the company should have been protecting you better from the day you started working here.” Hoseok protests.
“I can’t thank you all enough.” You mustered as bright a smile as possible. “I will really be okay if the others don’t agree with it, this is more than enough.”
“Do you want to lose your job?” Yoongi asked, resting his chin on his hand.
“No, of course not Yoongi-ssi.” You shook your head, that was the last thing you wanted.
“Then accept the help, it’s fine. We enjoy working with you, especially Hoba and Jungkook.” Yoongi sighed.
You couldn’t help but look towards Hoseok, the man just giving you a small smile. “Okay, I’m grateful.” You smiled back.
“Why didn’t you tell anyone sooner?” Namjoon asked, pocketing his phone. You guessed he had just finished texting the others seeing as Sejin had asked him to contact them.
“I was scared. I didn’t want to burden anyone with it and I was scared someone would hurt my parents.” The words tasted bitter on your tongue, in all honesty, those worries were only amplified now the secret was out. Not to mention the pain in your hip making everything worse but of course, you couldn’t say anything about that no. Especially since everyone is already going above board to help you. “I’m sorry for hiding something that could have affected you.”
“What made you tell someone today?” Yoongi asked his time.
“I didn’t want to die in that elevator and my friend be hurt and my parents alone, unable to defend themselves, though I doubt whoever it is would continue to pursue my family if I was to die. They seem to want me away from you.”
“It wouldn’t be the craziest thing to happen.” Hoseok shrugged, the lack of surprise on their faces made you wonder just how badly they have been treated by supposed fans.
“Do you think they know where you live?” Hoseok mumbles.
“Yeah, they knew my parents’ address and that would have been harder to find than mine.” You had accepted it the second NaRae had told you about the photos. “It’s okay though.”
“Does your apartment have security?” Namjoon wonders.
You rub the back of your neck, chuckling. “Uh…no?”
“You’ll have to move then.” He sighs. “The company can help with that.”
“Oh no seriously, it's fine.” You reassured themed unable to exactly say you needed to live there due to the discounted rent.
“The company has helped house staff before. They have contracts with apartment buildings that ensure privacy and security. If one of us ever comes to your apartment no one will know. If it makes you feel better think that it’s more for our safety than yours and because you’re a staff member that we will be with continuously, especially since Nicole may be leaving.
You already knew whatever contracts they had were for apartments way out of your affordability range. “That’s a really kind offer but I can’t accept that.”
“Why?” Hoseok frowns. “That’s the only way it’s safe for all of us. Someone could break into your apartment and attack you. What if I dropped you to your apartment and someone followed me? They would know my address.”
You pursed your lips, sighing when you couldn’t think of a response. “I didn’t think about that. I just don’t think it will be possible to…” you trail off, not wanting to explain why.
“Is it about your dad?” Hoseok asks. “I can make sure it’s somewhere close, closer even, and a car can pick you up. It’s no different than the taxis you take every day.”
Although you felt happier at the idea of being closer to your parents, especially since your dad's heart attack, you wouldn’t be able to afford it. You’d rented the place through a friend, it wasn’t the most expensive because you’d been given a discount and in all honesty, it was a nice apartment. “It’s not so much that, the place I have now it’s good, it’s secure. I already have a lease.”
You could break your lease, it was non-conditional but they didn’t know that.
“I’ll pay for it to be broken.” Hoseok offered, earning a glaring look from Yoongi. “It’s not safe there, if money is the issue then I’ll help, the company will cover some.”
“Hoseok-ah maybe you’re overstepping.” Yoongi softened his tone.
“I can’t and won’t accept that.” You had never accepted financial help and you definitely weren’t about to. “I can make it work financially.” You lied.
“The company can help you break your lease, so don’t worry about that,” Namjoon reassured you, taking some weight off of your shoulders.
You’d make it work, even if it meant cutting back and getting a second job. Maybe you could tutor kids? You had a few things you could sell and you had a small portion of savings that you could direct to paying whatever rent you needed to cover. “Okay, I’ll do it.”
Hoseok broke out in a smile, one that almost made you forget how dangerous and stressful things were.
The door opened, and Sejin stepped inside. His hair was a little dishevelled as though he had been running his hands through it. “The board has agreed to have a meeting.” He looked towards Namjoon. “Did you manage to contact the other members?”
“Yes, Jungkook and Taehyung are just finishing up some vocal practice, Jimin is on his way and Seokjin Hyung is just finishing a life.” Namjoon recited.
“We can move this to a bigger room, a few board members want to weigh in. The security team too.” Sejin held the door open, an indication for everyone to leave. “It’s room 382.”
“I know where it is. I remember it from the meeting last week I’ll take us there.” Hoseok takes the lead, you fall behind the others trying not to limp as a dull pain throbs through your leg.
You had already ruled out taking an elevator for the rest of your life so you were both thankful and internally groaning when Hoseok led the way to the staircase, your hip not liking the idea of stairs very much.
Sejin and Hoseok were talking amongst themselves as they took their seats at the table, you lingered in the doorway before Hoseok pointed to the seat beside himself.
You felt awkward as people flocked into the room, firstly the members, someone you were sure was Bang PD and one of the heads of the security team. The members walked in one at a time, taehyung a few minutes behind jimin, Jungkook coming after Seokjin. They all settled down after a few hellos.
“Right, this is a little bit of a situation isn’t it?” The man at the head of the table laughed, you managed a small smile.
That was definitely Bang Si-Hyuk. “Once again I went to apologise for causing all this trouble.” You look between the faces at the table, wanting them to understand your sincerity.
“These things happen, it’s not something we cause ourselves. We have dealt with far worse so let’s not ponder on any more unnecessary apologies.” Bang Si-Hyuk spoke.
“We all agree that we want YN-ssi to keep her job despite the possible security risks,” Jungkook added.
Both Taehyung and Jimin nodded along with him in agreement, Seokjin however did not. “Are we sure about this?”
Everyone turned to him, Yoongi and Hoseok both looking thoroughly confused. “What do you mean Hyung?”
“YN-ssi hasn’t worked here long and although I’m sure some of you have formed friendships I’m sure they could be maintained outside of work but this is our entire career, our lives, our family's lives in danger of being exposed. Taehyung-ah, Namjoon-ah, do you really want your siblings to be exposed? There’s already images floating around of my parents and I don’t know if I can risk any more.”
Once again, you couldn’t find yourself angry or upset. You had a family to protect too.
“It won’t come to that.” The man from the security department intervened. Minhyung was his name, you were sure. “We have a few options for secured housing, we will be installing scanners into the public spaces in the building to detect photography. Whoever takes any pictures without consent from the other party will be called in for a meeting and from now on a designated car will take YN to and from work. We cannot do anything outside of this as we are still limited but anything work-related we can protect. Social media monitoring will be increased in anticipation of any backlash or further threats. Any private information that is leaked will be removed instantly. As the situation is only small scale we are able to prevent it from escalating.” He finishes with a smile to both you and Seokjin.
Thankfully, the singer seems pleased with this and agrees. “Okay, then I agree.”
“Great. We will have to Increase your personal security too for a while.”
There’s a series of groans from a few members.
“I know.” Bang Si-hyuk interrupts. “But it’s better to be safe than sorry so no outside dates, if you want to just inform the security team and they can coordinate something, no wandering alone in populated places, and keep any identifiable marks covered.” He lists.
“So you mean my tattoos?” Jungkook pouts. “I hate covering them.”
“I’m-“ you start but he holds up a hand.
“Don’t finish that, please. One time we had to be herded around in the middle of the night by security to another hotel because of someone.” He gives a pointed look at Jimin. “Leaked our hotel.”
“Hey, that’s not fair.” The other rolls his eyes. “It was a camera slip.”
“Tell that to hyungs dribble pillow.” Jungkook snickered.
Seokjin slapped the younger on the arm. “If you ever want me to make you any form of food ever again don’t ever bring that up.”
“Hey YN-ssi,” Taehyung called your attention. “Do you know about Seokjin Hyung's dribble pillow?”
You shook your head, teeth nibbling into your lip to stifle a laugh at the interaction between the group. “No, I haven’t.”
“Basically after Jiminie here leaked our hotel room security woke us at 1 am to move hotels but Seokjin Hyung hadn’t been sleeping and had a cold so he was breathing with his mouth open, he was so tired in the car he laid on Yoongi Hyung and literally soaked his shoulder in spit.” Taehyung laughed, instantly standing up to dodge the pillow Seokjin had thrown at him.
“That was private!” He huffs, slumping back in his chair. “Sorry, you have to witness this YN-so. They have no home training.”
“But…” Jungkook leaned forward. “…hyung you kind of like raised me when I moved from Busan so does that mean YOU have no home training?”
“Are we done here?” Seokjin asks Bang Si-Hyuk. Completely disregarding a laughing Jungkook.
“As long as you all agree to the security rules. YN-ssi I’ll need you to stay behind to discuss apartments with the security team. The rest of you are free to go.” He dismisses, settling in his seat.
“Are you going to be okay?” Hoseok called over to you.
You gave him a smile nodding, you felt better discussing apartments without the members there. Maybe then you could explain financially you had to be careful. “I’ll be okay, please go and do whatever you need to.”
“Find me after okay? I’d like to talk to you?” He asked.
“I will.” You smiled again, this time a little more real. It always made you feel good when people wanted to spend time with you, loneliness was an easy emotion to experience and it made you feel like less of a burden when someone asked you to spend time with them.
“Okay.” He accepted your promise, flocking out of the room behind the other members. All of them budding you with some sort of goodbye.
“So Yn-ssi. We have made a list of apartments all in different areas and price ranges. They are probably more than what you’re paying now but they are closer to your parents’ address. I hope you don’t mind we pulled it from the emergency contact that you listed on your employee details.” The security lead passed you a small packet of papers, each page containing information and images of different apartments.
You looked through it at bang PDs assurance that there was no rush. The rent on every apartment was over your budget but some were better than the others. It wouldn’t be as difficult as you presumed to cover it, you’d have to get another job but it would be manageable. You’d settled on a two-bedroom apartment, it was a huge upgrade from what you already had. The addition of 24-hour security and a front desk with a 24-hour attendant made you feel drastically better. You could always convince your parents to stay at yours now you had the spare room and if they didn’t want to then you were much closer to them and could see them daily.”
You informed the pair of your decision and Bang PD has explained that he would contact them and arrange for you to sign the papers in person within the week. Thankfully the meeting passed without any issue, wrapping up some minutes later after finalising some smaller details. “Thank you for going to such great lengths to keep me safe. I can’t explain how grateful I am but I promise to be an employee that works hard.” You bid them both goodbye, the meeting feeling far less formal and awkward than you had thought it would be.
Once you were away from the room you pulled out your phone texting Hoseok.
You: I finished the meeting. Where are you?
JHS: my studio, door is open. 😊
You pocketed your phone, thankfully remembering how to get to his studio from this floor of the building with there only being one flight of stairs between them.
The door was propped open by a small figurine, you pushed it open, a little taken aback to see Hoseok and Seokjin sitting on the small couch.
“Yn-ssi.” The eldest stood to greet you, a look of what could only be deciphered as a concern in his eyes.
“Seokjin-ssi.” You bowed back to him before turning to Hoseok. “Hoseok-ssi.”
“It’s still okay for you to be informal with me if you’re comfortable. I promise no one will be upset about it.” Hoseok reassures, clearly noticing the way you had been switching to a more formal conversation whenever others had been present.
In your defence, you did have a job to protect and unprofessionalism is never rewarded.
“Please don’t feel like you have to be uncomfortable because of me,” Seokjin interjects.
“Oh no of course not.” You rush to explain. “I just didn’t want anyone to feel as though I was being unprofessional.”
“Everyone here is pretty informal. The longer you’re here the more comfortable things feel so it feels weird to talk so formally after a while. Usually when cameras are on we maintain it but we have staff that’s been here since we made our debut and they have become like family.” Hoseok shrugs, taking the worry away from you slightly.
“Okay then, I’ll try to be less formal with you Hoseok-ssi.”
“Oppa.” he argued.
You hear seokjin stifle a laugh as he resumes his seat on the couch.
“Okay.” You smile.
“Okay?” Hoseok asks again.
“Yes.” You nod.
“Yes?” He questions, his voice higher towards the end.
“Yes oppa.” You laugh, finally giving in.
“Great.” He claps his hands. “Now.” He turns to Seokjin.
“Please sit.” He motions to the chair placed opposite the couch.
You accept the seat, sitting more so on your side to prevent weight from falling upon your hip. “Is everything okay?”
“I wanted to apologise. I just worry about the protection of those closest to me. I didn’t think about how you too were risking people you cared about by coming to the company and telling them.” Seokjin's voice holds a sincerity that throws you off guard.
“Please don’t apologise.” You start. “I have people to protect yes but you also deserve privacy and to be honest in that elevator I was scared not just for my parents and my friends but for you all. Although I’m sure if I did die it probably would have been forgotten.”
“Don’t say such things.” He scolded. “It was a selfish thought of me to ignore that you were stalked in favour of taking care of those I thought to be worth more. I can admit my mistakes YN-ssi. Please accept my apology.”
You hadn’t expected to be given such an apology when you yourself could completely understand just why he had questioned the idea initially. “It’s all forgiven, please don’t feel bad about this I completely understand.”
“You’re a good person.” Seokjin declares. Hoseok hummed in agreement.
“Thank you Seokjin-ssi.” You don’t truly believe his words but still, it’s nice to hear.
“So…” he leans back. “How are you feeling after the elevator thing this morning?”
You and Hoseok send a grimace to one another, a look of fear and dread that only you can understand, the frown on your face thanks to the new pain in your hip.
The week was only just coming to an end and it was already far too long.

Time for Crock to the Future! This is another one I’ve been curious to get to. Not as curious as Founders Day but still curious.
Wait Hazels dad only has nine Toes? Uhh come again Cosmo? What kind of toe incident gets you chainsaws? But ohhh nice Hazels dad is getting an award! I wonder if we’ll really get into the work exactly he does.
You know persistence is something good when you work in a field involving the supernatural. I do love that he refused to let doubt get him down and make him give up. AJ founded that when he was ten?? When in the show? Cuz they spent the entire time as ten? It’s kind of cute he looks up to AJ so much. I wonder how old he is compared to AJ?
One Hazel your outfit is absolutely adorable you rock pink I love it. Ohhh I see what the show did there. Fourth wall breaks can be done well take note poorly done shows with fourth wall breaks! But wait. How does a paranormal detector…work if they’re trying to prove they even exist? And why keep the paranormal out wouldn’t you want them to reveal themselves? Also is that a Mark reference?
Tumblr media
Once again why does Hazels dad mention magic but also doubt the existence of fairy godparents??? How does a paranormal believer draw the line at magic? It doesn’t make sense.
Hazel? Really? You just ran in. Oh wow AJ comes in early lolz. The signs in the show continue to send me every time I notice them like this one with AJ.
Tumblr media
Just brilliant hilarious.
They’re really going to steal a small child’s bag? Like is that really legal? And AJ is just chill with this? I have major questions. Why would they do that to an employees child like this feels so beyond sus to me. Are we supposed to distrust the institute? But Hazels dad works there? I just don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about this.
I appreciate Hazel being so concerned with making sure her dad has an amazing night but uh your dad’s boss ran off with your purse in a somewhat probably illegal manner so maybe bring that up? Especially since your godparents are on there??
VIVA LA PLUTO I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.
Wait…am I agreeing with Crocker? Shit. Serious question though why does AJ employ Crocker if he tortured him as his friends as kids? Or does he just. Not care cuz Crocker gave him A’s? I mean it tracks I guess.
I love how he declares his full name seemingly only for the audience he doesn’t know is their and Hazel calls him out. Idk sometimes fourth wall breaks can be funny.
Crocker…I doubt anyone listens to you I’m pretty sure you built that booth yourself. Hazel. Are you really wanting to ask the man clearly obsessed with fairies for help finding said fairies? Is this really a smart life choice here?
Oh he’s a janitor. That makes more sense. Okay does AJ actually have some hair now or??? Wait Fairy atomizer 3000? But Hazels dad doesn’t think Fairy’s could possibly exist so why does THAT exist besides raising the stakes? Why…does AJ think fairies are dangerous? Legit why? I saw and AU that’s interesting wherein AJ does think they’re dangerous and I thought it was a neat concept but I didn’t realize it had roots in the show itself. I’m assuming he must because why else would you build a machine to destroy something you know nothing about? But why would he think they’re dangerous? I have so many questions I doubt will be answered.
Guys maybe stop talking in front of the humans wanting to deatomize you? I love how Cosmo mishears words though I just. I feel that in my soul as someone who also regularly mishears words and has to ask people to repeat themselves because brain short circuited idk it makes me feel seen.
Why are you bragging about handing out F’s? Like that’s not a good teacher trait. Crocker…uh…you’re obsessed that’s true. Even if you weren’t obsessed the handing out F’s thing would also likely turn people away from giving you a teaching position.
AJ…I know it’s good for Cosmo and Wanda the leather is distracting you but also PRIORITIES. Also how did Hazel get a real leather bag???? Those things are pricey? Sturdy for sure. Will last forever yeah but she’s so young!
They’re really going to leave the suspected fairies unsupervised? Uhhh okay off you go. WOW Crocker it took you this long to figure that out? You’ve gotten slow. Smart kiddo grab what you know is the fairies sacrifice the bag.
HAZEL FRIES REALLY? In such a fancy bag? Oh wow another Timmy reference. No names just their last godkid but yeah Timmy continues to kind of haunt the narrative I’m digging it. I just realized though Cosmo and Wanda didn’t have a godkid between Crocker and Timmy which is…a long time to not have a godkid when apparently fairy world is also short on godparents? I know this is just canon from the Og show but it sure is a strange choice from the original writers.
Cosmo maybe uh. Don’t reveal your weakness out loud. Or joke about a giant net yep okay there it is. Yep. How does Crocker have a giant net? Why does no one question its existence?
Oh Hazels dad is giving his speech over Crocker getting the equipment. Oh and he’s looking at Cosmo and Wanda. He knows. Without a doubt Hazel has fairies. Will this be an issue? Probably not. It should because previously someone finding out about a kids fairies got the fairies taken away and memories erased.
Cosmo. Read the room. Oh Timmy again. Oh only his last name getting dropped. I wonder how long they’ll avoid saying his first name. I am curious if Hazel will ever met him in later seasons. Hazel how did you forget about that they just told you their magic is useless.
Wait Crocker isn’t a Ghost why would it capture him??? I don’t understand how that will work?
Hazel uh that’s not a great line lolz.
How did the aliens sneak in and not get caught??????? Uh how? If the scanner can scan fairies they’ve never seen why would it miss aliens we know exist? And does no one notice their skin is green?
Lolz uh AJ why keep Crocker if he keeps interrupting the ceremony? Also Crocker literally assaulted AJ like That should also be a problem. Like good on him for having a backup but still. Cute Hazel is so proud of her dad.
Overall this was a fine episode. I wonder if Crocker will reappear and go after Hazel? I also have some questions on the production end. I know their was previous ideas to have Timmy be the one to have founded the institute but that was scrapped and I’m curious as to why and what this means for Timmy’s potential future within the show. Was this a network forced change or did the writers decide they didn’t want to reveal Timmy too soon.
I’m personally torn on this. On the one hand the original show never got a proper ending which sucks for fans of the original but this show deserves to be its own thing and not be just about Timmy again (heavens know that’s one of the few things I really dislike about Rebels is it repeatedly being used to further TCW characters and arcs at the sheer detriment of the characters if the new show) but also having Timmy’s fate so up in the air especially when it’s clear he was special to Cosmo and Wanda and more so then Hazel is so far and probably honestly ever will be. Like very very early on Cosmo and Wanda were telling Timmy they loved him and Hazel hasn’t gotten that. It raises questions about if something happened that has them putting up walls to not get hurt again or if it’s just Timmy was beyond special to them and they don’t normally get so close to their godkids.
I have a feeling that part won’t ever be explored in the show but it would be cool and I would love to see some resolution for Timmy in something not even necessarily in this show just…something. Though admittedly I have a feeling he will eventually show up based on original ideas for this episode and the way he haunts the narrative. That is if we get a season 2 which so far I really hope we do get a season 2. Onto the next one!

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 13: Budding Spring - Episode 10: Forced Into The Starting Gate
Tumblr media
Itaru: (I should start getting ready to leave… Oh, right.)
Itaru: (Now that I have a rough idea of our performance schedule, I should apply for paid leave.)
Boss: Chigasaki-kun, can I borrow you for 15 minutes?
Itaru: — — Yes.
-
Boss: I believe this is everyone.
Itaru: (Everyone being me and a couple of my colleagues and… They’re only guys I don’t mesh with, huh.)
Boss: The reason I called you all here is to discuss whether you would be interested in participating in an urban development project that the company is currently promoting.
Boss: I may be asking you to participate, but the project is already in its final stages. What I would like from you is to provide support.
Itaru: (A large scale urban development project overseas? It’s the development of a theater facility that will become the center of arts and culture and its surroundings.) 
Itaru: (I looked over the synopsis because it seemed interesting that it’s got to do with theater.)
Boss: Participation is not mandatory, of course, as this will run parallel with your current work.
Boss: That being said… There is a reason you were chosen.
Boss: As individuals who are considered the future of this company, I would like you to become core members of the next project.
Itaru: (Eight horses have entered the gate for the promotion race. The most popular one is Outgoing Ghost Monster, the one attracting attention is Rich AF Parents.)
Colleague A: I will do my best to meet your expectations.
Colleague B: I’ve been interested in this project for a long time, I would be honored to participate!
Itaru: (The gate has opened, and all horses have started running at the same time.)
Colleague C: Considering the progress of the work I am in charge of, I should be able to participate as well.
Itaru: I apologize… Could I ask for some time to think about this?
Itaru: (I would’ve probably participated if it wasn’t for this timing…)
Itaru: (Honestly, my head is filled with the theater company and the Fleur Award, I can’t fit anything new in there.)
Boss: … Ah, you also have your theater company to think about, Chigasaki-kun. Please make sure to consider your schedule.
Boss: Because this project’s theme has to do with the arts, the team members asked for you to be included as well.
Colleague A: …
Itaru: I’m grateful.
Boss: I will set up another opportunity to explain the training’s content and to introduce the team’s members, I’d appreciate your participation.
Itaru: Thank you very much.
[Door clicking]
Itaru: …
Colleague B: He can’t just think about it and then refuse.
Colleague C: Must be nice to be in a position where you can survive even if you quit your job.
Colleague A: It’s a popular theater company, and since they’re so well-know it’s probably hard for our company to deal with too.
Itaru: …
Itaru: (At least talk about this somewhere I can’t hear you.)
-
Chikage: I’m really sorry, I’ve got my hands full at the moment.
Employee A: Is that so? I apologize for springing this on you so suddenly.
Chikage: Feel free to let me know any time I can be of help.
Chikage: …
Itaru: Should we go somewhere good, Senpai?
Chikage: … I don’t even want to guess what that is, but let’s hear it.
Itaru: What’s that supposed to mean?
Chikage: *sigh* You don’t give me much of a choice. I’ll keep you some company.
-
[Punching sfx]
Itaru: Delivering a crit and then a hook combo, aaaand KO! Ah, this really is the best way to go at it.
Chikage: You’re not hiding your true feelings at all.
Itaru: *siiigh* I really hate this. Only those who want to participate in the race for career advancement should enter the gates.
Itaru: And anyway, you should just quit if you don’t wanna do it. Directing that hatred towards me is just wrong.
Itaru: Being a level between a noob and a mid-ranker is so lame. You don’t have as many rights as a mid-ranker does.
Chikage: Not that there are a lot of middle level players around.
Itaru: I understand that the company has high expectations for the “elite Chigasaki-san”. That’s why they hired me after I graduated and diligently raised me like cattle.
Itaru: I make use of my physical appearance and do everything half-heartedly, but I can understand how desperate my colleagues are to advance their careers.
Itaru: From their perspective, someone who has several irons in the fire and talks flippantly is probably really annoying.
Itaru: And a triple combo finisher— But still, I’m trying to figure out where I stand, so I wish they’d let me be.
Itaru: Must be nice for you, Senpai, you travel overseas and advance your career in a non-complicated way.
Itaru: The criticism you receive probably isn’t that harsh, either.
Itaru: Me on the other hand, I’m stuck being the “capable guy” who does decent local work.
Itaru: At the end of the day, I’m just a handyman.
Itaru: Even if I’m treated favorably, it’s not like I’m being lax with my work. I may not be motivated, but I want to believe I’m doing everything I’m supposed to.
Chikage: Neither your mouth nor your hands seem to be letting up.
Itaru: I wonder what I should be aiming for to begin with.
Itaru: Should I become a corporate slave like you, and aim for a high place where no one will complain about me, or should I reach a position that will scream “Itaru Chigasaki”?
Chikage: Sounds like a conversation you should be having with your father. (1)
Chikage: Shouldn’t you think about what you want to do first?
Itaru: What I’m aiming for… Well, I guess I want to maintain the status quo, so I won’t get criticized as often. No. I want to retire as early as possible with passive income…?
Chikage: Stop spending in gacha and start investing.
Itaru: That’s asking for too much.
Itaru: … I chose this job because of its benefits, and got it out of luck, I’m not really looking to advance my career.
Itaru: Our theater company is somehow made up of people who mostly engage in two trades at the same time, but they all have a dream and enjoy what they do.
Itaru: Compared to them, my job is just a source of income. Sometimes, I feel like I don’t have much to give back to the theater company.
Itaru: Even though right now is an important time for the Spring Troupe, I’ve found myself caught up in the promotion horse race with my coworkers talking behind my back.
Chikage: In your case, your hobby is more useful to the theater company.
Itaru: ^ This. Honestly, I keep wondering whether I’ve got any reason to keep working as a salaryman, but I don’t have the courage or confidence to focus solely on acting.
Itaru: I wanna have some sort of insurance, so to speak.
Itaru: *sigh*~ To think I’d have such student-like worries at my big age… Do you never think about such things, Senpai?
Chikage: Well… My job’s got various merits, you know.
Itaru: Various merits?
Chikage: Various merits.
Itaru: I see? Looks like you won’t elaborate.
Chikage: No matter where you work, there are times you’ll be praised and times you’ll be criticized. And it’s not just you.
Chikage: It’s the same for me too, depending on who’s looking at me. I think I’m satisfied with having my theater activities praised.
Itaru: But if we’re actually nominated for the Fleur Award this time, it’ll be difficult to get the company to accommodate for you.
Chikage: The company evaluates your performance, after all. If you can’t contribute in improving the company’s image, you’ll be told to focus on your work.
Chikage: That being said, this doesn’t change the fact that we need to bring good results during our next performance.
Itaru: That’s true… Okay, Winner! *exhale*, I think a load’s off my shoulders.
Itaru: Oh, yeah. Weren’t you also asked to take care of something, Senpai?
Chikage: Ah… I was asked to accompany a client to an overseas meeting as their interpreter, but I declined because I don’t have the time for it.
Itaru: Guess cheaters have it hard too. Though there’s gotta be people who are jealous of the fact that you can go sightseeing as an interpreter.
Chikage: I mean, it’s not a country I really want to go to.
Itaru: But you understand its language.
Chikage: Guess so.
Itaru: Okay, we get it, you’re cheating.

NOTES:
(1) the actual exchange here involves itaru making a joke with his name (『茅ヶ崎至』に至; "chigasaki itaru" ni itaru), and chikage replying with 'you've got both dad jokes and undodgeable attacks'. i had to entirely drop this and let it get lost in translation because i couldn't come up with a dad joke
(2) the literal translation for the episode title is 'forced gate-in', but because i wasn't sure this term is actually used in english, i decided to change it

Hurry Now
➟ pairing(s): Han x y/n reader; afab reader
➟ genre(s): One Shot
➟ word count: 814
➟ warnings: none
Tumblr media
It had been a long week and this interview was circling the drain quickly. The people on the other side of the cameras were rude and unprepared. Bit by bit Bang Chan grew angrier. His stiff body and stone face should have signaled the room, but only his bandmates noticed.
Just arriving at the office, your friend let you know Stray Kids was down the hall in studio 2, probably finishing their interview. Kicking yourself for almost missing them, you jogged down the hall. Making sure you didn't look like you just ran down the hall, you slipped into the room to hear your coworker thank the guys for their time. Stepping forward you offered your hand to Bang Chan, the leader of Stray Kids. "Hi, I'm Y/N. Thank you for letting us-" Chan cut you off aggressively.
"Thanks? Seriously? This had to be the worst interview, ever." He was glaring at you while he continued to rant, and you were intimidated. What could have happened to cause this seemingly kind and interesting man to unleash this fury? "And another thing, next time, if there is a next time, try not to make the guests do half the work." Trying to blink the tears away you apologized and bowed deeply to Chan before rushing out of the room, seeing the others couldn't look you in the eyes.
Ducking into your office you tried to steady your breath. You settled behind your desk and let your mind wander. What caused that outburst? Luckily all the videos were stored on the building server, and you would find what you needed.
In the studio, 7 men turned on Chan and began to raise their voices. They scolded him for the way he spoke to you. Heck, you had just walked in and probably had no idea what happened. Chan hung his head and kicked himself.
You paused the video halfway and checked the details. Ah, you knew the names and they were luckily, or unluckily for them, in your team. "Come in," you called to the person knocking on your door. Writing down the names of the troublesome employees, you looked up at the visitor. Dread instantly filled your stomach. Han Jisung stood in your office. Had Bang Chan sent him to finish the job of humiliating you?
"Hi," he said nervously. "I came to apologize on behalf of Bang Chan Hyung. I'm sorry. We're all sorry for how he spoke to you." Offering a small smile he gestured to the door. "Normally he wouldn't have-"
"Please. Stop. I understand," you pointed to the computer at your desk, "And they will be dealt with. I appreciate the apology." Sighing deeply you reached under your desk for the half-eaten candy bar. "Want one?" you asked waving the candy at the cute man across your desk. He quickly nodded with a boyish smile.
Catching the candy from the air, he smiled bigger. "My favorite," he announced, tearing the paper open. Taking a bite he stuffed his cheeks.
"Thank you again," you said softly, "For stopping by." Nodding, he wandered around your office, taking in your photos and awards on the wall. You watched him closely and couldn't help but find his puffy cheeks and the way his smile lit up his eyes endearing.
"Thanks for the chocolate," he said turning his attention back to you. "After a day like this with Chan Hyung, I needed it." Laughing at the cheap shot he took at his friend, you agreed.
"Yeah, me too," you giggled. The phone on your desk lit up with a call. The receptionist informed you that Bang Chan was waiting for you, and would like to see you. Han smiled at you and sat on the edge of your desk.
"Ah, my fearless leader has pulled his head from his butt," he laughed, "I bet he's on the way to apologize." Chewing the inside of his mouth he shrugged a little. "Maybe you can just accept mine… and not see him…" he trailed off.
"Oh? Why is that?" you asked, intrigued by his sudden nervousness. "He just fills a room with his," he waved his arms around, "Bang Chan-yness." He rolled his eyes at the way it sounded.
"Well I have a lot of Han Jisung-yness in this office today," you mused. "I don't know if there is any room for anything else. Maybe we should make him wait." That smile lit up his eyes again, making you laugh. Standing from your desk you walked across the room and took his hand. "Come on. If we go out the back, he'll never see us."
Raising his brows in surprise, he let you pull him down the hall. As you reached the door, he stopped and pulled your arm, causing you to stumble back into his arms.
"Hurry now! Let's go as fast as we can," he whispered.

dina watson ☆ veil of secrets
Tumblr media
𝘽𝘼𝙎𝙄𝘾𝙎.
AGE. 33 years (b. january 14 1985)
GENDER & SEXUALITY. she/her, cis woman, lesbian
ETHNICITY. african-american
EDUCATION & CAREER. graduated from hartfeld with a bachelor's in communications and moved to new york to pursue a master's in journalism. landed an internship with a mid-size newspaper and became a full-time employee after graduating. worked her way up to investigative journalism. has made a name for herself in the field over the years, boasting a handful of awards and the respect of her colleagues—although, this success comes mostly at the expense of her personal life.
PERSONALITY. quiet, brusque, and straight to the point, dina has always leaned a bit more masculine than feminine. although she doesn't talk much, her brain is constantly moving, and when action is needed, she's more than ready to jump into the fight. functioning on gut feeling and careful rationale, dina has always prided herself on her intelligence and initiative. however, she can also be critical, arrogant, and needlessly combative—though of course, these are only skills that help in her career. (right?)
𝙍𝙀𝙇𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙎𝙃𝙄𝙋𝙎.
GRANT EMERSON. met him at the rehearsal and immediately developed a deep respect for him. appreciates his work ethic and strong sense of values; thinks he might be a bit too naive at times, but values him as a close and well-respected acquaintance.
KATE O'MALLEY. developed an intense crush on her in college. spent a lot of time trying to deny it, since she always felt that kate would never look at her that way, but coming back for the wedding has brought all the feelings back. still deeply cares for kate and struggling to move on.
FLYNN O'MALLEY. disliked him when they first met (thought he was too impulsive and didn't think things through), but since they've been investigating kate, she's come to respect him as a dedicated partner-in-crime. slowly developing a brother like relationship.
NAOMI SILVERHAWK. has a deep mutual respect for her. quickly developing feelings, but unsure of how to navigate them, as she's working through the dregs of her crush on kate and a life spent mostly devaluing romantic interaction. still, feels like naomi grounds her in a way that no one else does.
