#enjoy my nose in the 4th pic

[thatgirlshines]

It has been exactly two weeks since Maceo’s life ended. It was ended by my decision to euthanize him after he bit me in the face, on the nose, on the cheek and on the neck, unprovoked on July 4th weekend.

Maceo was a rescue. He had a sketchy past that was unclear, likely involved being a bait dog, and the risk when taking on a rescue is that one never knows what triggers are programmed in. Honestly, after just three weeks since the bite, I have finally arrived at the hypothesis: there is nothing I did specifically to provoke him. Other than a few days of constant fireworks, there were very few stressors in his life. I believe he was simply annoyed and unfortunately, the three bites WERE the warning.

We’d just hit two months together. Maceo was a very affectionate dog. It was clear that in his early life, he was coddled, cuddled, cradled, carried, and treated like a baby. His favorite thing was to be ON a human. We were his emotional support humans. We joked we wore Maceo Luis SS24 because he was beyond a velcro dog. A text exchange while on a business trip: 

Me: How is the bebeh?

MCL: He’s relaxing

Me: What’s he doing, send a pic

MCL: I’m wearing him (picture of Maceo laying on MCL)

Very quickly, he showed me he liked kisses on the forehead. He liked the game I played with my fingers from his nose to his forehead, light fingertip tapping and petting gently up down his face. He liked the kiss I’d give him between the eyes. He would come into my home office, place his head on my lap, look up at me, and ask for the finger taps and kiss. On July 4th, while in my office, he came in and I got down on the floor with him, to cuddle him. He loved a good cuddle. As I was rubbing his back, I confessed to him all my feelings: “I love you, Maceo, did you know? You are so lovely, a beautiful and kind boy. You are my sensitive Emo boy and I’m MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU! You are mine and Michael’s and we adore you. I’m so glad we found you, baby boy.” We laid on the floor in my office, just cuddling while he did his cute eye blinks, telling me he felt the same. He looked filled with happiness, without a care or worry in the world. He did that sigh, you know the one that dogs do, when they’ve fully relaxed? I thought to myself, he knows he’s home.

Saturday night around midnight, we were relaxing and watching some series of some kind. I was sitting on the floor, where I usually sit, and MCL was on the couch with Elfie on the floor between us, leaning on MCLs legs with his head hanging over the knee. We were enjoying a drink, MCL a beer, me a glass of sav blanc. MCL decided to get up to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. As he stood up, Maceo shifted and moved towards me so I lifted my left arm to let him settle in to lean against me as we’d done hundreds of times before in the two months since he’d arrived. As I turned my head, all I saw was a blur of Maceo’s teeth and the rumble of his growl. I closed my eyes and felt light stings while I did nothing. I didn’t move my head, use my arm to cover myself, use my hand to push him away, or move my body in any way. I only sat with my eyes closed, in shock. 

Here’s what I remember, because when you are in shock, things that aren’t self preservation fall away. I brought my hands to my face. As I held my face, my eyes shut, I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I did not open my eyes until I was leaning against the sink and standing in front of the mirror. As soon as I took my hands from my face I could see all the blood on my hands. Then I looked at my face. Blood was pouring out of the tip of my nose.

At this point, MCL had moved Maceo to the kitchen, behind the gate, and was standing in the doorway of the bathroom. I turned to him and said, “Please tell me we don’t have to go to the hospital.” He replied that we were going to have to go. I grabbed a handtowel to keep pressure on my face until Ron and Sandra arrived to take us to ER. Of course, this was the week Mike’s car was acting up and not starting. 

I know we went to a first hospital that had no ER but I barely remember that. I barely remember walking into the Advocate ER on Wellington. I was given stitches on the chin/neck area. But the nose, that was going to have to be a plastic surgeon. As we waited for results and all that fun stuff, another emergency came in, a young man on a bike hit by a bus at midnight. I was thankful all I had were a few bites. They managed to stabilize him and I thanked the Creator for not letting that life slip away.

As I sat in my room, in and out of sleep, a recent video from the horrors of Gaza played over and over in my head. It was the one of the little girl with her jaw ripped open, hanging from tendons on one side while blood poured out from where her mouth should have been. There were no beds, chairs, blankets, just a dirty floor. So she was made to sit down while a young man helped hold her jaw shut, blood streaming down his arms, using a dirty bed sheet to sop up the blood. The floor was filthy, most of the room she was in was bombed out, dusty with rebar hanging from the ceilings. At this point, the hospital was operating with the help of medical students and volunteers as most doctors had been killed or were imprisoned by IDF. There were also no medical supplies so this poor child sat there while that young man held her jaw in place, and she cried. 

She was with me that whole night, this little girl. I cried tears of rage that there was no gauze in Gaza, the place where gauze was invented, none there while I had all and more than I needed. We went through quite a bit of gauze that night, a few boxes in fact. I was given some lidocaine for the stitches, so I would feel nothing as the nurse pulled that hard string over and over again through the flesh of my chin. But this young, wounded Palestinian girl, she had no gauze, no painkiller, no bed, no parents or loved ones with her, only a stranger to cradle her jaw close.

I was mildly concerned about what would happen next with Maceo but I was also so exhausted, I couldn’t bring myself to think on it too hard. The moment I woke up on Sunday, it was all I could think about and it would be the beginning of an emotional, mental and spiritual pain that far superseded the pain of an open wound on my face.

The rescue said we had two options: keep him and train the shit out of him or euthanize him. He could not be placed in another home and all liability would be our responsibility. With a bite history on his record, he was no longer adoptable. These are state, county and city laws. They could not take him back but they offered to euthanize him. They offered to take him away as well. To that, I refused. I know, I know. Several people called me crazy for not sending him away that very night. But even in my shock and horror, I knew I didn’t want him to end his life abandoned, afraid, living in a crate, and alone the last days of his life. I wanted him to feel loved and home, even if he did a terrible thing, he deserved that at the very least, considering humans filled him with all that trauma, fear, and abuse. If he has to die, let him experience unconditional love and happiness.

When we returned from the ER, the first thing he wanted when we got home was me. He wanted to check in, he wanted affection and he wanted comfort. He knew he had done wrong and wanted to show me he was sorry. I was still in shock so MCL kept him away from me. The next day, I avoided him. He stayed behind the gate in the kitchen, sitting sadly and forlorn. When he was let out, MCL was the one who stayed close to him. I steered away from him. But Maceo was used to me fussing over him so he’d follow me, wait for me outside the bathroom door, and watch me as I cooked or worked. Those first few days, I kept asking MCL to call him, distract him, and hold him away from me. But Maceo was an innately affectionate dog. He wanted lovings from me. So I gave in. 

The rescue, in the meantime, was dealing with their own earth shattering event. Their coordinator, who did the jobs of 6 people at least, died suddenly the same night Maceo bit me. It wasn’t until Sunday evening that they were able to get in touch with the family and found out their employee had died suddenly and unexpectedly. They asked if they could have time to regroup before sending the vet and asked again if we wanted Maceo taken away. At this point, Maceo and I were back to cuddling, albeit with a lot more distance. I no longer sat on the floor. MCL took on the task of wearing Maceo 24/7. Before the bite, the wearing of the dog was split between the two of us. Now, I was more leary of getting too close so MCL was wearing, walking and cuddling him most of the time when he wasn’t on solo time (time by himself in the back half of the house was important for this dog). 

By the time the rescue’s vet was able to see us, Maceo had spent nine days with us since the bite. From the moment I realized euthanization was on the table, I was in spiritual pain at the recognition of what this all meant, at a soul level. I do not ascribe to the religious belief that animals have no souls and that human life is more valuable than animal life. I believe ALL life is equally important as we are all connected and related. 

His life for my life. Punishment. Give him a second chance? There was a small committee of people (none of whom knew each other) who pleaded with me to let him live, to give him a second chance. I spoke with several dog trainers, assessing the feasibility of keeping him, training him. I even considered breaking the law and giving him to someone who could care for him but the reality is that I prefer to live my life above the line, not below it. No one once told me what to do, they just laid out options they’d seen in all their years as trainers. Each one did say the same thing, the context of the bite location matters. In every scenario they experienced, even with intense training, it all depended on the reestablishment of trust (meaning the human being comfortable) and that 9 times out of 10, it ended with euthanization. If the bit had been to the hand or leg, that’s different. When the bite is to the face, rarely does a dog live.

I wanted him to be able to live. I wanted to be able to get over it. But this will be the second time in my life that I have been bitten by a dog. The first time was when I was 18 months old, a German Shepard freaked out by the sudden noise I made and bit my left eye. I was lucky in that the bit only affected the lid and the sclera. It healed up really well with only minimal scarring that most people do not see. My left eye is a bit smaller than the right and it is the eye with the best vision. I spent a lifetime afraid of dogs, despite no memory of the bite and only the stories adults around me told about that episode in my life. With the help of my best friend, a dogwalker, and my mate, MCL, I learned to love dogs. I learned how to speak dog, and realized that I had just never tuned into the right frequency. I love dogs now. I have many dog friends. But I wasn’t confident I could get over this with Maceo. In my mind, I was thinking we’d keep him but I’d keep my distance. That is no life for a dog or a human. 

June 15th was the day Maceo was euthanized, a horrible day, probably easily one of the worst days of my life. Maceo’s previous foster emailed me and had asked that we spoil him on his last day and not cry until it was all over. She didn’t want him to be concerned about us. So we spent the day celebrating him for everything, treats for everything, and walks as many times as he wanted. His favorite human, his rescuer, came to be with him and he was so happy. Any day with his rescuer was a good day. His love for her was mixed with gratitude and a sense of safety. We let him eat peanut butter, which made his tummy hurt usually but he was so happy to have all this attention and love. I smiled, laughed, encouraged, complimented, flattered and spoiled him all day. He was having the time of his life and he didn’t want to go. 

He took forever to respond to the sedative. Even then, he fought so hard to keep us in his line of sight. He didn’t want to go at all. Because he got so much sedative, it narrowed his veins and getting the IV set up was painful to watch. As soon as he was gone, I threw myself on him, crying and begging for his forgiveness. I mean, it was straight ugly crying, complete with hiccups, stammers, stutters, and snot. Even Mike didn’t know how to comfort me in that moment. 

I’ve spent the last two weeks working through all my feelings and made many realizations. I’ve come to realize there was nothing that specifically caused his reaction that was in my control. I realized that my fighting the reality was only prolonging my pain so I had to come to a place of acceptance. I realized that sometimes in life, we have to make decisions even if we don’t like the options available to us as decisions. I realized that for a breed like a Presa Canario, they need to have a life planned for them, to be raised with other animals, to be socialized so they can be good family dogs. They are dogs who MUST HAVE A JOB. This is not a dog one indiscriminately breeds, it is bred very specifically to work and help humans. Humans completely let him down his entire life. I realized that bad shit just happens and there isn’t a reason for why. I realized that I am uptight asf, do not know how to relax and let shit happen, and I should stop looking for lessons in everything. I realized that shadow work is never-ending and has to be checked regularly. 

But two my BIGGEST lessons in all this? 

First, Blues music is healing when you are forlorn, depressed, broken, and in spiritual pain. I’m not talking white man blues, I’m talking O.G. blues, made by Black men and women. The healing is in shared pain of the lyrics, the tone and cadence of the vocals, in the notes of the guitar, in the quality of the recording. 

Secondly, your community will help you heal. You can’t do as well alone  So many people have stepped up and in. I always knew I was lucky and was surrounded by amazing people but it took this experience for me to see just how deep my luck is. From advice on post surgery care like silicone scar sheets to scar massage to somatic therapies to prayer, my community has held me in my healing. 

To my Maceo Luis Sayd Marquez, I forgive you. I love you. You are like the great, intense love affair from a summer trip that would never work out because of distance and culture. You are like the child I lost and the children I would never have, and the heartbreak of losing you when I barely had you. You were only in my life for 2.5 months but your footprint in my life is as large as you were. I miss your tortilla chip ears and how expressive they were. I miss the showing of the belly when I walked into the room. I miss how you held your head low in submission when you were happy to see me. I miss your paw on my knee. I miss our cuddle naps while you snored in my ear. I miss how your fur on your chest made you shine like platinum in the sunlight, with a shimmer glow. I miss your emo black eyeliner, lipstick and nail polish. I miss your reticent smile. I miss your lean. Rest well, my sweet Emo Boy.

troublemaker

― dancer youtubers!lee heeseung x gn!dance major!reader

sparks fly when the top two dancers on youtube collab!

genre: slow-burn fluff, s2l

wc: 3.9k (omg i'm sorry) + 2 twitter pics

warnings: probably some wrong dance terminology, slightly suggestive (the dance is just 😳), short timeskip, it's cheesy please bear with me

part of my youtuber enhypen series, the fifth upload! feel free to read on its own~ ♞──────────────────────────♞

you finish off your last move with your arms wide open, your chest heaving up and down from lack of breath. smiling nevertheless, you know you absolutely love the feeling of getting your breath taken away after dancing because you know it meant you did your best. you walk towards the camera lens and peek at the comments through your open laptop.

"did you all enjoy that?" you ask breathlessly grinning. the flooding comments are filled with compliments from your cover of nct u's boss. however, one comment, in particular, caught your eye as others seemed to reply to it.

heeseung ✔ 2s ago wow that was amazing do you wanna do a collab sometime? 😊

line break insurance you've failed me 5x already

your eyes widen as you let out a gasp. "is that the lee heeseung?" you accidentally say out loud. you wince at the realization of your mistake. the comments are both praising you for your success in getting noticed by the other top dancer on youtuber and relating to your remark.

heeseung ✔ 3s ago haha yes it's me dm me if you want to hear more about it 🤍

"oh wow... this is really cool..." you state before blinking to get you out of your stupor. "well everyone, that's going to be all for y/n's motion of dance today! thank you so much for tuning in, love you!"

you wave goodbye for a few more moments and then shut off the broadcast, closing your laptop as soon as you do. you blink twice and suddenly let out a scream.

you stop with a gasp and cover your mouth with your hands because you cannot believe you forgot that your dance studio isn't the most soundproof of places. "sorry, other dance students..." you whisper to them but more for yourself.

taking a look around your escape, your passion, you can't believe you've made it to where you are, being praised as one of the top dancers on such a vast social media platform like youtube. if anything, you guess it runs in your family, after all, you are related to choi yeonjun, who is considered 4th gen's it boy.

though people were skeptical of you at first when you came on the youtube scene as a dancer after your older brother started taking more to modeling and acting, you quickly proved them wrong by showing them your talent and bloomed from then on. of course, you can't forget to mention the person who skyrocketed just around the same time as you.

and that was the aforementioned lee heeseung. you sigh as you finish packing up your clothes and things to head back to your dorm, glancing out the window to see the sun beginning to set. it seems today was a rare early finish for you.

"i could go for a coffee... i need to finish my classics essay anyway," you mumble to yourself, throwing your bag over your shoulder before hitting the showers and changing into a more casual set of clothes. the finishing touch is a baseball cap that sits snug on your head. tightening the strap on the back and grabbing your backpack and dance bag, you finally take your leave of your beloved dance studio and return the key on the way out. fresh air meets your face, allowing you to take a whiff of the cherry blossoms that have been blooming for a month or so as you make your way to the campus café.

ding ding, the coffee shop's calm doorbell welcomes you as your nose is hit by the sweet smells of freshly ground coffee beans. "welcome!" one of the servers calls at the counter, smiling at your figure that walks closer to order. "what can i get you?"

"hi, may i have..." you scan the menu quickly for a familiar drink. "a honey cinnamon iced latte please?"

"of course, name please?"

"choi y/n," you reply.

if they recognize you, they don't make any notion of it, simply scribbling your name on the plastic cup as you make your payment. you're grateful for the normal interaction and the peacefulness of the café, especially after a surprising stream. "i'll call you when your order's ready, choi y/n-ssi," they inform you with a warm grin.

"thank you," you smile back before going to find a seat. spotting a relatively private area close by with only a pair of boys sitting at the booth, you decide to take the booth two spaces away from them. one boy, you notice, sits taller than the other, but his face is covered by a baseball cap. the other looks like a freshman, his cheeks accentuated by a pair of deep dimples.

as you take your seat, you can't help but think the boy with dimples looks rather familiar but can't seem to place your finger on it. shrugging, you simply begin preparing to write your essay by taking out your laptop and notes from your classics ge. the moment you finish is when you hear your name being called.

"choi y/n-ssi, your honey cinnamon iced latte," the server's voice calls. on your way to receive your awaiting drink, you can finally hear the voices of the two boys sitting two booths down from you.

"did your crush just say choi y/n?" the one with the hat says.

'yes, that's me,' you think to yourself nonchalantly.

"weren't you just watching their stream, heeseung hyung?" another voice says as you pick up your latte and thank the server.

wait, heeseung? as in lee heeseung? it's when you turn around with your drink in hand that you notice the two males looking straight at you. now you're able to make out the features of the boy with the cap, and there's no mistaking it.

"lee heeseung?" you mutter out loud at the same time he speaks out yours.

well, maybe that wasn't what you were expecting today, but hey, life is full of surprises, even if they are one after the other for you. after that unexpected encounter, you and heeseung acquainted yourselves, he invited you to sit with them, and now you're sitting at their table, awkwardly sipping on your latte.

"right, so should i leave?" the other boy, who you found out is studytuber and vlogger yang jungwon (which is why he looked familiar to you), blurts out. you chuckle as heeseung shakes his shoulder lightly. "what? you two clearly have to talk about something, i need to study."

"yea, yea, lover boy. make sure you say bye to your crush on the way out," the male dancer teases, causing the younger one to turn bright red.

"don't call me that, hyung," he mutters before picking up his bag and leaving the booth. sure enough, you watch as jungwon passes by the counter and erupts into a nervous mess the moment the server beams at him.

"ah... so he likes them?" you think out loud.

"yup, it's been almost four months now. i'm the reason he even knows this cafe and that server exists," heeseung mentions, making you nod courteously. he turns his attention back to you with his hand placed under his chin. "but their relationship is besides the point. let's talk about us."

"d-did you have to put it that way?" the forwardness catches you off-guard, and you suddenly have a harder time swallowing a sip of your coffee.

"sorry," he says with a teasing smile. "i just think the collab i mentioned would be good for both of us, and it'll be really fun too."

"i agree, people who like you will come to me and vice versa," you nod. "but do you know what we would be dancing to?"

"so does that mean you're in?" he asks, smile starting to grow on his face. wordlessly, you roll your eyes and hold out your hand for him to shake. that's when his full smile comes out, causing your cheeks to heat up as you think about how much more handsome it makes him look. taking your hand, heeseung shakes it with his vigorously. "alright, dance partner, we have a deal."

after much deliberation and research, the two of you finally agree on troublemaker by the duo hyuna and hyunseung. heeseung suggested this song, stating that he always wanted to do the choreo with somebody and that it's destiny that both males have a name that starts with h and ends with seung. quite frankly, it's not like you could find much anyway, besides some cool music bank mc stages, it is cool that troublemaker was originally an opposite-gender duo in the korean entertainment industry.

the choreography however is an entirely different story. at many points, hyuna's body is touched by hyunseung and vice versa, but if they can do it and stay professional, then you believe you can too. besides, dancing will always be just dancing. heeseung also assures you that if you want, the two of you can just have your hands hovering, which makes you feel relieved to have an understanding partner.

hours pass by, and you and heeseung decide to meet at your usual dance studio daily after all your classes, which wasn't hard because he also frequented the same one.

"i still can't believe we attend the same university," you say aloud as the both of you pack up your laptops and supplies.

"i know right, you would think one of us would recognize the dance studio we go to 24/7, right?" he laughs. "although, i've seen you use a different one sometimes."

"do you really watch my covers and streams often?" you ask baffled. he and you wave the workers goodbye and make your way to the brisk evening air waiting outside as the staff sends you off.

"i do, is that so hard to believe?"

"a little," you reply sheepishly.

"well, let me walk you to your dorm and prove to you how much of a choi y/n stan i am," he boasts, and you let yourself laugh freely as you walk beside him to your destination.

it's strange, knowing a famous youtuber you watched also knew and followed you, but then again, you're not exactly nobody either. when heeseung drops you off, he admits that he actually lives a few floors above you and that you two can walk home together after each rehearsal. it's even stranger, knowing a famous youtuber literally has been on your campus, in the same dorm building as you, and this whole time, the two of you have both been clueless as to the other's existence as an ordinary college student.

speaking of which, he can't be a dance major, right? otherwise, you would've already seen him! these thoughts keep you tossing and turning to the point you don't register when you fell asleep. when you wake up, you feel as if you didn't get any sleep at all, but get up and ready nevertheless, going through another regular day as a dance major.

by the time your classes are over, you walk out of the studio yawning about to stop by your dorm to freshen up and maybe fit in a nap. you're holding a hand over your mouth mid-yawn when a voice starts talking to you.

"good thing i stopped by to get coffee." you open your eyes and close your mouth to see lee heeseung holding two cups of coffee. he's dressed in an oversized white shirt and grey sweatpants, a common dance practice outfit, so why is your heart skipping so many beats. "yo, choi y/n."

"heeseung," you say, still shocked. he hands you the coffee, which is actually the same flavor you got yesterday. "thanks."

"no problem," he replies coolly. "maybe we should take a break before we get to it?"

"i'll be fine, how about we can start watching the choreo?"

"they're always ready to dance," he nods with an impressed smile. "as expected of a dance major."

the two of you walk inside and book a studio for a few hours as you raise an eyebrow at him. "wait, what major are you?"

"music production."

"that makes so much sense!" you say relieved, stepping into the studio room for the umpteenth time. "i was racking my brains wondering what major you were."

"so the famous choi y/n is curious about me?" he smirks. you groan and facepalm in response. "i'm kidding, i'm kidding. let's watch the video on my tablet?"

nodding, the two of you watch carefully, eyes glued to the screen at your respective roles. you hold your breath at some touchy parts but also notice that both idols were able to shine in their solos.

"a few tweaks here and there, and it'll be perfect," heeseung comments once the video is over. "but let's go over some boundaries, yeah? let me know what you're comfortable with and what you're not."

"right," you agree, once again relieved to have such a safe and understanding partner like him. "well, i think i'm okay with you touching my arms, shoulders, and hips like hyunseung did to hyuna. i just need some time to get used to it."

"alright, that sounds good," he says nodding with a hand under his chin. "then for today, i'll just hover my hands over the places they need to be."

"what a gentleman," you tease.

he rolls his eyes playfully at you. "let's start marking."

and so that's what the two of you start on. with the video on the tablet, you go through the motions with the speed lowered, eventually picking up more moves until you're able to follow at the normal speed. as expected of the top two dancers on youtube, the two of you are quick on observing and learning the dance and get done with basic marking within 20 minutes or so.

after marking, you take a quick water break to watch the video again in full detail, officially beginning your first real practice. as promised, throughout the entirety of marking, heeseung has kept his hands to himself, but you've become comfortable enough to have him do a little more.

before you start practicing for real, you decide to speak with him. "hee," you call him as he puts down his water bottle.

"hm?" he confirms that you have his attention, looking up with his large doe-like eyes while wiping his mouth off from some excess water.

"uhm.." you fidget with your top a little before mustering up some courage. "you can do light touches now for the choreo."

"really? are you sure?" you nod at his question, causing him to come up to you and ruffle your hair lightly. you bat his hands away with a pout, smoothing out the mess he made as he laughs at you. "that's great, y/n," he says with a bright smile, unknowingly making your heart beat a little faster as you nod again. in your head, you rush to cover up the physical reaction with an excuse that it's just from the amount of exercise you've done.

the two of you stand in front of the mirror, ready to go. before the music starts, heeseung turns to you and says, "just let me know if i make you uncomfortable at all."

"i'll be fine," you reassure him with a small smile. that's when the song begins, and the sparks start to fly. every move flowed like water, yet every touch between the two of you was like electricity as if the two elements were working together instead of fighting. even though the touches are light, they still put chills up your spine, in a way that you can only describe with the phrase "meant to happen."

was fate moving its course to put this match together, or were you imagining it? you're not sure, but you grin while catching your breath once the first practice is over. falling to the floor softly, you sit with your hands splayed behind you and let out a relieved sigh. "ahh... dancing is so... great!"

heeseung chuckles at your reaction and offers a hand to get you up. "i'm glad you think that because we got a lot more practice ahead of us, partner."

"yup!" you say with a widening smile. the moment you took his hand, you felt an electric jolt that almost made you let go. getting up, you shake it off and barely catch the expression on your dance partner's face. "is something the matter?"

he blinks a bit before he's shaking his head with that charming smirk of his. "nope! let's practice!"

practice, practice, practice. that's how the next few hours go. and just like the day before, heeseung walks you to your dorm building, this time the conversation about how excited the two of you are for the recording.

that's basically how the next four or so days go, now that heeseung came into your life. your daily routine of wake up, eat, class, dance, repeat was shaken by him, because now he was a part of it. it's an indescribable feeling, hanging out with him. the best word, or phrase actually, is the same one you used while dancing with him: meant to be.

so when you finally get to the day of recording, you almost don't want it to end. at least, that's what you're telling your best friend and makeup artist, kim sunoo.

"friend, you're telling me that you and this guy have been following along to..." he tells you to look up as he curls your eyelashes. "a dance like that for four days and you've been getting shocks this whole time?"

"i mean, yeah?"

"y/n, i love you, but you're missing a little something, aren't you?"

"wha-!?"

"pucker up, sweetie, we're making your lips look kissable," sunoo commands. you do an eye-roll but do as he says. "if you don't ask him out or do something by the end of this, you can at least kiss your best shot at a boyfriend goodbye with luscious lips."

he finishes applying the color and asks you to rub your lips together and make that pop sound. "perfect," your best friend compliments. "go out there and get your mans."

"thank you, sunoo!" you say, gazing at your reflection in the mirror and loving the way he accentuated your features. "by the way, you're all talk. you should ask your celebrity crush out when they appear on your channel."

"i'll get there when i get there!" he whines and starts pushing you out of his dorm room. "just go get 'em, tiger."

with that, you make your way to the dance studio where heeseung is waiting for you, dressed in hyunseung's iconic suit with the leopard-patterned blazer. your heart quickens, seeing how much more handsome he looks dressed up, hair slicked back and some makeup done. he looks up upon hearing the door open and his mouth slightly hangs open as well.

the both of you are silent as you approach him, in your equally bedazzling outfit, sheer to mimic hyuna's stage dress. "you look amazing," the two of you say at the same time. stunned at the simultaneous sentence, you two immediately start guffawing at how this was unlike your usual interactions.

"that was so awkward!" you blurt out, unable to contain your laughter.

"yea, not like us at all," he admits while he wipes a stray tear from laughing too hard away. smiling at each other, you admire the way his eyes reflect your image and sparkle. "you ready to get this show on the road."

"ready as i'll ever be." the two of you get into your positions on the opposite ends of the room, and heeseung starts the camera and the music soon after. you take each step slowly to meet him in the middle as he takes your hand and brings it up to his lips to give it a kiss while smirking. you keep your face professional as the two of you take a few steps forward, the back of his fingers curled over the front of yours.

starting back-to-back, you walk forward a bit before the beat drops and heeseung's part begins. you're on autopilot as you dance your fingers from his chest to his shoulders, and then the chorus comes. hips swaying, you're able to feel his hands' light taps on your body as the two of you lose yourself to the music you've danced to hundreds of times this week.

then, it's your killing part as you lipsync hyuna's rap and take bold steps around heeseung's body, ending up behind him to bring your hands over his shoulders and make a scratching movement across his chest. you step towards his side, do your thing, and walk away as if playing hard to get.

you wait for his part during the bridge and make a side glance towards him before moving towards him and performing the hip-heavy part of the chorus together. your partner moves his face up along your arm, taking it in like you're a statue. you then act like you brush him away when heeseung gets close enough. after this second chorus, you're leaving him to do his big solo, watching carefully as he makes his every move precise and crisp yet flow well.

it's the last chorus now, and this time, you can't take your eyes off each other as you finally face one another. you stay drowning in his shades of brown without a single misstep until you have to walk away from him. you wait for him to come towards you, back slightly turned away as he jaunts forward, making his way to be captured by your hand behind his neck.

the last breath of the song is the one where you're supposed to turn your head away as his own chases yours, but this time, you brave forward and lean in close. the music fades away, but all you hear is his breathing, feeling it against your own.

you stay like this, ensnared in each other's arms, forgetting about everything except the person wrapped close to you as you feel his every breath against your lips and every inhale and exhale under your hand. he searches your eyes, looking for some kind of sign. "do you mind if i—"

that was all you needed before you're pressing your lips against his. it only takes seconds for him to kiss you back, moving his hands from their previous position on your hips to hold your face. becoming breathless from dancing was one thing, becoming breathless from kissing heeseung was another thing entirely, it was in a league of its own you note as you pull away and rest your forehead on his.

"we'll have to edit that out," you say after what seemed like ages of taking each other in while chuckling.

"i have a better idea than editing."

"oh, and what's that, handsome?"

"look at you getting all bold, troublemaker," heeseung replies with that smile of his. he shakes his head, moving away from you and taking your hand in his. "how about we go on our first official date as youtube's top dancer couple?"

"that does sound like a better idea," you agree, your own smile widening.

"then let's make it happen, sweetheart."

Seems we're sending pet pics for the Fwip Fwip Goddess, and just my luck she prefers doggos over cattos.

*cracks knuckles* time to hunt for my camera shy babies.

(In order of pictures, it's oldest to youngest, and the order we got em)

This is Daisy May, She's the first child, Queen of the house, 10 years old, and will alert the entire house when someone is using the stairs.

We got Titan. Second child, terrified of thunder and fireworks, making 4th of July week a nightmare. He is 8.

JC, also known as Scary Cat cause she will attack if you try to touch her paws or pet without permission. She's 6.

Gelo man! My son! Loves to go where he shouldn't and play with stuff he's not supposed to. He's only 1, but he's as big as JC aevening! (Also his named is pronounced Jello, but I decided to spell it weird on his papers)

This is Bestie. Got her a week after Gelo cause raising a kitten isn't enough, let's raise a puppy with more energy than a chihuahua at the same time. She is also 1.

Finally, the newest babey! Nintinugga! She's only a couple months old, but already close to Titan in size, which he hates. Also loves to stick her nose where she shouldn't.

That's all the babies! Hope this isn't too long, and the Fwip Fwip Goddess enjoys these pictures! (Daisy May was so hard she wouldn't stop moving.)

Have a nice day/evenin!

So... Many...!!!! ;;

Thank you for blessing me with so many pettos ;;

What in the World? (Akaashi Keiji x Reader) pt.8

Part 8 of WINTW? :D Enjoy! 

Akaashi’s lineup: @alluring-akaashi @oikawalmart-hq @extrasugafree @bbykiyoomi @apricotjihyo @awings​ @simpformiya @colorseeingchick @something-that-idk (i have no idea why i can’t tag some of you :( huhu )

links: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 9

The next match went by smoothly. They had lost to the opponent but they were all light hearted about it. Knowing the consequences, Akaashi gave the signal to begin the lap of diving. With a gym this large, that had to be tiring. They weren't complaining though. You had to remind yourself from time to time that this powerhouse school has reached nationals thrice.

Checking the data you recorded, Yukie, Kaori, and you began to compare notes.

"Bokuto-san has been using his straights a little more than usual." Kaori commented. "Probably wants to polish it or he's just warming up for the day."

"Haruki-san managed to save 80% of the balls for his 4th consecutive game. Better than last time." Yukie added.

"Washio-san managed to block all of the balls or one touched them." You inserted. Amazed at how this silent player was stronger than you'd estimated. Silent people really were deadly.

"Akaashi-san did exceptionally well in the last match." Yukie said. "He's getting used to the other's preferred distances and height now. Analytical skills still as sharp as ever, too."

Feeling proud of that compliment, you silently smiled to yourself. Being in class 6 also meant that your grades had to be maintained in every aspect. Akaashi can do all of those with being a vice captain and Bokuto’s close friend with such ease. Scribbling down a few notes, you stopped and tried to grab the notebook from Yukie.

“Well, well, well~”  She lazily teased. “Are you sure you were jotting down their shots or Akaashi-san’s alone?”

“You scribbled his name in different styles as well~” She added once she was by Yukie’s side. Giggling at the 5 different fonts of ‘Akaashi’. “You’re safe for now, little one. But, later before we sleep, better prepare for a little game of truth or dare with the other managers!”

“No escaping.”

A little scared of how serious Yukie was, you nodded and accepted the notebook. Holding it close to your chest, you held onto it like there was no tomorrow. Following the two of them, you found yourself cutting some watermelons

"You're the new trainee, right?" Shinzen's manager asked as she too sliced some watermelons and placed them on a tray. "I'm Mako, by the way."

"(l/n)." You slightly bowed.

"You handle the men really well!" She complimented you. Her light brown eyes focused on half of the fruit. "When I was new, it took a while to get used to such a diverse pack of personalities. It did help that they're soft idiots underneath the rough appearances."

"I'll have to agree." Taking a small piece of watermelon, you savored the refreshing sweetness. "Especially when Bokuto-san goes emo mode, Akaashi really manages to work and balance things out. With the groups effort too, of course."

"Anyway, I'll be seeing you later in our girl's night~" Grabbing the plate, you followed her and walked with a plate full of heavy fruit.

Along with Yukie, the three of you headed to the gym. Finding the boys playing with Karasuno, you couldn't help but feel happy when all the boys looked extra excited for the small sponsored snack. Few moments later, a small watermelon seed spitting contest had begun.

By the corner, you took out your phone to text o-mother. She wanted updates regarding the training and just didn't want to feel lonely while you were hours away. Just as you sent the text, yet another familiar voice made its presence known.

"Uh, are there still any watermelons left?"

Iida? That voice was Iida's. Turning around, you were met with Karasuno's setter. His face showed surprise at the sudden action. What were you hoping for? Of course that wasn't your close friend. Instead you were met with softer features but the similar shade of blue eyes made it feel a bit less lonely.

"I think there's still some by Nekoma's area." You finally replied.

"KAGEYAMA!" The small player whose name you recalled due to Bokuto's stories in the bus, suddenly appeared with light jumping steps. "Ah! That's why you went missing! You're sneaking out to talk to girls!"

"HINATA! YOU IDIOT!" Kageyama slapped Hinata only to have himself being hit as well. " I was just asking her if there were any more watermelons left!"

"Heee~ You could've just went to Nekoma's area instead of asking Fukurodani's manager!" He stuck his tongue out and the fight continued.

In some strange way, the two of them reminded you of Todoroki and Deku.

"OI! KAGEYAMA! SHOYO!" Another familiar voice came running to break the fight. A bit smaller than Hinata, you felt chills down your spine when you realized whose voice you heard. "THAT'S NOT HOW TO ACT WHEN YOUR TALKING TO LADIES!"

Bakugo?? It was weird. Having to hear such familiar voices with different faces holding them.

"Nishinoya! Libero!" He pointed his thumb towards his chest. An ear to ear grin plastered on his lips. The small tuft of blonde gave him that extra oomph.

"Please excuse them," An unfamiliar voice popped in as well. "They get uneasy when talking to girls. Daichi, captain of Karasuno."

Shaking his outstretched hand, you watched as he began to shoo them back into the gym. Giving an apologetic bow, you shook your head and soon followed them.

The little high of hearing the voices of your friends was now dying down. With the match now starting, you began the task of preparing their water bottles. It wasn't that hard but you did take note which bottle they preferred. Yukie and Kaori had to wonder how in the world you retained such tiny details.

The time you dreaded finally arrived.

The hours had flown by a little too quickly for your taste. Sitting in a circle, the female managers were now munching on some snacks that Yukie brought. Yachi and you began to talk about random stuff. It was interesting to hear her story of how she finally understood the importance of being a Townsperson B.

"If it wasn't for Hinata or Kageyama," She lightly scratched her cheek. "I probably wouldn't have found the confidence to become manager."

"Glad you did. Even the smallest of roles can have such a big impact." Recalling a few of your missions, you could feel how the confidence push made her shine even more.

"Okay, ladies!" Yukie now gathered your attention. "It's now time for the highlight of the night. A game of truth or dare."

Groans and giggles filled the room.

Taking a water bottle, she spun it around. Placing your hands in your jacket pockets, you manipulated the air each time the bottle faced you. The first victim had to be Yachi.

"Truth or dare, Yachi-chan." Kaori asked. When she chose truth, her cheeks flared at the question. "Who would make a great couple among the crows?"

This girl was kind but her questions were not.

"Uh, I thi-think," Hiding her face on her palms, Kiyoko and you patted her shoulders as a form of small encouragement. "D-Daichi-san and Suga-san."

Kiyoko covered her mouth and giggled. She nodded her head and agreed at the chosen 2.

The bottle was spun again. It began to slow down but with a little twitch of a finger, it landed towards Yukie. Mako took over and asked the question.

"If you could kiss any player in any of the schools here, which player would you go for?"

Tapping her index on the tip of her nose, she hummed and snapped her finger.

"Kenma." The other girls were a little shocked at her answer. When asked why, she merely shrugged and took a chip. "He's pretty interesting. And his pudding hair reminds me of food."

"Ahh." Both Kaori and you agreed and nodded. Her answer now made sense knowing that she had a thing for food.

The bottle was spun once again and this time it landed a safe distance away. The next to be questioned was Mako. Her question was who among the players would she take to the locker room and spend 7 minutes of heaven with. Yukie was definitely not lazy when it came to interrogations. Thank goodness you had a quirk.

“Kuroo would probably be fun to take into a closet but I think he’s a little too flirty for me.” She managed her thoughts out loud. Staying silent for a few seconds, she finally stated her answer. “Maybe Akaashi-san would be nice. He’s really respectful and pretty.”

The girls began to ‘ooh’ and giggle at her choice. Your two co-managers stared into your soul. Avoiding any sort of eye contact, you turned to face Yachi and sparked a conversation with her. That had to be the worst decision you made for the night. Being a bit too engrossed at such a random topic, you failed to take note of the bottle.

“Yo~ (y/n)~” Yukie’s lazy voice sent chills down your spine. Eyes widening at the realization that you forgot to focus your quirk on the bottle, you uttered a few curse words. “So, what’s with you and Akaashi?”

Mako gasped and covered her mouth. Telling her it was okay, you tried to wiggle your out.

“That’s not really a truth question.”

“Okay.” She crossed her arms and merely gave a lazy smirk. “If given the chance, would you take him to the rooftop and kiss him, tonight?”

“Why not?” You shrugged.

“Noted.” Kaori mumbled to herself, enough for you to hear. “Now that that’s over with, how ‘bout we do an open forum? Like what do you guys wanna talk about? Anything bothering you?”

Things went smoothly after that. Feeling a bit sleepy, you stifled a yawn and stretched without moving. Not that their problems or thoughts weren’t interesting, it was just the fact that today was a rather long day and the futon was very inviting. Reaching for your phone, you checked your messages and found Asami had replied.

Asami-chan: AAHHHH YOU BIIITSHH!! HOW DARE YOU TAKE A PICTURE WITH MY BOKUTO?! AND HOW DARE YOU DID NOT TAKE A SOLO PIC OF HIM?!

You: Drool. Chill. I’ll take one tomorrow.

Opening your mother’s response, you had to love how she sent a full on paragraph about how you should take care and that she misses you even more and a lot of fluffy words that made you smile. Reading the last part, you simply texted you loved her.

The last of the messages was sent no more than 4 minutes ago.

Akaashi: Good evening. Are you awake?

You: Yeah. We’re having a girl’s night here.

It was a bit of a shocker to see that he was now replying.

Akaashi: If you’re hungry, I have a snack bar.

You: Is it even allowed to go out of the rooms this time of night?

Akaashi: It’s still early. And Bokuto-san is still practicing with Kuroo-san so I have some spare time.

You: Can’t get enough of me?

Akaashi: I’ll meet you by the entrance.

Heart beating faster, you were now in a cinch. With the way the girls night was going, for sure you would be teased no doubt if you would mention his name. More so that the question given to you involved the person you were about to meet. Thinking about a reason, you stood up and went towards your bag. Rummaging aimlessly, you saw a napkin and nodded to yourself.

“I’ll be back.” Waving the item, the girls shooed you till you closed the door. Thus began the small run towards the entrance. When the last flight of stairs came, you slowed down and walked. Gotta catch your breath and not look like a fool.

“Hello to you.” You greeted him when you saw him. God he looked so good even with the dim lighting the area had to offer. In his hand were two snack bars. His drenched towel rested on his shoulder. Taking the bar, you sat beside him. Even with all the sweat, he smelled good. “You tired?”

“A bit.” He rolled his left shoulder. “Bokuto-san and Kuroo-san got into a competition and it so happens that I was the only setter in gym 3.”

“Oh.” Fidgeting with the bar, you inhaled and took a big bite. “I, uhh, can massage your shoulders if you want? I have pretty dandy hands”

“You don’t have to.” He stared at his shoes and wiped some non-existent sweat. The prospect of a shoulder massage would be very nice, he had to admit. But the thought of being seen by those two asses in the nearby gym was not good. Scanning the area, he saw the sprinting hill and waited if you would insist.

“I don’t mind.” Tucking a hair behind your ear, you bit your tongue and tried to calm down. “There’s not much malice in it anyway.”

Malice? Where and why did you even think of that word? Wondering why Akaashi stood up, he motioned for you to follow him. When he extended a hand, you didn’t need it but who could resist? Holding on to it, the both of you began to climb up the small sprinting area. Making sure that both of you were now behind the tree, he sat down and leaned on the trunk.

“So, uh, you can face that way to…” Fighting villains was nothing, but having to massage this sweaty man’s shoulders was a feat itself. When he followed instructions, you were now face to shoulder with Akaashi Keiji. This was even scarier when you had to battle with one of the eight precepts of death. With shaky hands, you warned Akaashi that you were about to start. He merely hummed.

When your palms touched his damp shirt, you activated your quirk to aid in relaxing his muscles. One of the advantages of having a quirk like yours was how you could manipulate the heat of your palms. Whenever you had sore or overworked muscles, a massage with your quirk always made you feel a thousand times better within a few minutes. Akaashi leaned in on your touch and let out an exhale. He could feel the effects of what you were secretly doing.

“You really do have dandy hands.” He praised you. Your small fingers delicately massaging the soreness away was something not even his own mother could do. Not wanting to strain you any further, he held on to your hands to signal you to stop. Peering over his shoulder, he gave a small smile and told you that was more than enough.

Leaning back on the trunk, he was amazed at how his body felt much more energized than last time. With your hand still being held by his, he stared at them for a moment before letting go. At the same time, the both of you missed the warmth and small tug.

“Thanks for the massage, (l/n).”

“No big deal.” Feeling that you used a small chunk of your quirk, you were silently thankful he still held on to your hand for an extended period of time. Though, when he let go, you kinda wished he didn’t. “Thanks for the snack bar, Akaashi.”

“Consider it payment for the massage.”

“Hey, hypothetical question.” Seeing him nod, you continued. “What if you, uhh, wake up one morning and find yourself in a completely different world; Different people, environment, everything. What would you do?”

“Hmm…” Giving him a few minutes, you were curious as to what his answer would be. “I’d probably lose my mind for the first couple of days. But I guess I could get information to see if it’s safe or dangerous. What about you?”

“I’d do the same thing.” The crickets were now chirping in the background. A soft breeze passed the both of you causing the leaves to rustle. “What if you met someone in that world? And they make you feel that there’s more to life than having to protect others constantly? Hypothetically, of course.”

“I don’t know.”

“Honestly, same.”

Peter Parker x Reader-4th of July HC

Hello and Happy Bday America!! I got this idea to do a HC for Peter and the 4th of July and I couldn’t resist- this is my first HC so I hope you enjoy!!

——-

Requests open!

——

(And did I REALLLLLY just do an America themed moodboard?

Yes. Yes I did)

Of course you're going to the Parkers’ home for 4th of July

Aunt May was so sweet in her offer you couldn’t say no

And besides, you wanted to come anyway-another day to mess around with your boyfriend?? You’d take that over anything in the world

When you get there, Aunt May immediately puts you on cake duty with Peter while she makes burgers

Flour gets everywhere, but it’s fun

You guys are all just completing jamming out to “Don’t Stop Believing”

At one point Peter gets too into his lip singing that he almost trips in the floor and your the only one there to save him

So you try to give him your hand

But He takes you down with him and your both covered in floor laughing your asses off

Aunt May tells you to clean it up, and you don’t object because you realize what a mess you’ve made, but May thinks it’s adorable how close you guys are

When the cake is done you both asks if she needs help cooking

Aunt May insists she doesn’t need it, so you and Peter get bored real quick

You find Peter’s old Cap shield from when he was 5 in his room

He pulls out a toy Iron Man arm that he got a few years later

So it immediately turns into an impromptu Iron Man Vs. Captain America fight

He calls dibs on Iron Man oc

You’re both laughing like maniacs and it ends when May says you guys gotta stop cause your both are super loud but she can’t help laughing at you too

A few minutes before the fireworks start you all go outside and grab some sparklers

You’re trying to draw out your name and Peter decides to take some pics of you as your playing with them

He gets a really cute one of you with you smiling and your nose all scrunched up right as he says something that made you laugh with a halo of light around your head

The fireworks start and your both flinching with every bang but you both love the lights and the night air and being cuddled up next to each other on the street eating cake and ice cream

After their done, Aunt May says she’s heading off to bed but you’re welcome to stay for a couple more hours

The next round of fireworks come but Peter’s apartment building is blocking them so you can’t see very well

Peter notices your kinda bummed out because you love fireworks, so he asks if you might wanna know what it feels like to be Spiderman

Your super confused but OF COURSE you say yes

So he leads up the fire escape and tells you to what there

He goes into his room and changes into the suit

He then slips out quietly and grabs you by the waist and asks if your ready

You’re kinda scared but in a good way and your adrenaline is kicking in, your heart going a million miles a minute

“I was born ready”

Peter kicks off and you have a death grip on him and your smiling and screaming

He finally lands and your adrenaline is going like crazy and you’re slightly dizzy

You step and wobble and he catches you as your laughing from the rush

He all concerned for you but you reassure him your fine

Then you turn and oh my god you’re at a loss for words

In every direction you turned there was fireworks in a little different heights and colors

You look at Peter and all you can think about is how much you love him, so you pull his mask up just to where you can see his lips and you kiss him

Bittersweet Symphony:

Chapter 3

Pairing: Dean x Kaylee (OFC)

Warnings: Childbirth (nothing too graphic), lying, overprotective!Dean, fluff.

A/N: This is the 3rd chapter for this fun series I’m working on. I know I SAID it would only be 3 parts......but I have a 4th one coming for you guys!! Hope you enjoy this latest installment. Unbeta’d, all mistakes are mine, pics are not.

Wanna catch up?

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Kaylee breathed deeply as she felt the pain in her stomach rising.

“Let that breath out nice and easy,” Dean told her as he look at at his watch “you gotta stay relaxed okay?”

“You try having your insides squished and see how well you can relax.” Kaylee retorted as she let it out and Dean's watch chimed.

“Still ten minutes apart.” He said as he looked at her. He was torn, he knew they were supposed to wait until her contractions were five to seven minutes apart, but he hated seeing in her in pain.

She'd been in active labor for the better part of four hours and was growing impatient.

“Another lap?” Dean asked and she nodded

“May as well,” she said “she doesn't want to come out just yet.”

Dean reached for her hands and helped pull her up and into a standing position. They slowly made their way around the bunker to try and get her labor moving along as well as they could. Once they made it to the kitchen, she took a break while Dean got her some water.

“Come on Delilah,” Kaylee said and rubbed her belly “time to come out and play.”

“She's coming, she's just taking her time, much like her mother.” Dean said and handed her a glass of water. Kaylee shrugged and said

“You're not wrong.”

Sam walked into the kitchen and asked

“Any news?”

“Not yet, still ten minutes apart.” Dean told him “We're making laps around the bunker, maybe that'll get this crazy train on the fast track.”

“Or,” Sam said “maybe she should try relaxing.”

“Relax? Me?” Kaylee asked

“Think about it,” Sam said “maybe she'll come out if she knows you're relaxed. What do you do to release tension?”

“Have sex.” she said, to which Dean shrugged with a proud smile on his face. Sam gave them a bitchy look and said

“What you two do behind closed doors isn't my business, but maybe try that, or a hot shower with that lavender soap you like.”

Kaylee looked at Dean who said

“Hey, worth a shot.”

With Sam's advice in mind, Kaylee took a long, hot shower and after word let Dean rub her shoulders.

“Better?” he asked as he kissed her temple.

“I feel more relaxed,” she said “but that's about it.”

An idea hit Dean and he asked

“What about song time?”

Their almost nightly routine to get Delilah to settle down was for them to sing together and it seemed to relax all of them. When hunts were too rough, Dean would always remember that time with Kaylee and the baby and it would instantly calm him down.

“I'm up for trying anything.”

They sat down in the Dean cave and Dean tuned the guitar as Kaylee squeezed Sam's hand and he kept track of the contractions.

“Still ten minutes.” Sam said “You think song time will work?”

Dean shrugged

“I don't know, but what's the worst thing that happens?” he asked

“Labor doesn't progress and we're stuck in the same place.” Kaylee said.

Sam nodded and Dean said

“You hold her hand and I'll play.”

Sam nodded and Dean began to play

“You with the sad eyes,” he sang “don't be discouraged. Oh I realize, it's hard to take courage in a world full of people. You can lose sight of it all, the darkness inside you can make you feel so small.”

Dean gave Kaylee a grin and kept singing and she rubbed her belly.

“Show me a smile then, don't be unhappy, can't remember when I last saw you laughing. This world makes you crazy, and you've taken all you can bear just call me up 'cause I will always be there.”

“And I see you true colors shining through, I see your true colors and that's what I love you.” Kaylee sang back to him.

“So don't be afraid to let them show,” Dean sang “your true colors are beautiful.”

“Like a rainbow.” Kaylee sang.

After a while of singing, Kaylee's contractions got closer together. When they were finally close enough together, Kaylee was in a lot of pain, which Dean hated. Sam drove them to the hospital and they were immediately swarmed by nurses as soon as they said how far apart her contractions were. A nurse made the mistake of getting between Kaylee and Dean.    

“Sir, I’m afraid I can’t let you in unless you’re family.” The nurse said as she reached for the handles on the wheel chair.

���No, he’s-“ Kaylee started but Dean interrupted her.

“I’m the father!” Dean roared. No one was keeping him from that delivery room.

“Okay Dad, come on in.” The nurse said and let Dean walk behind her.

Through the long process of getting fully dilated, getting the epidural and everything in between, Dean was right there to talk Kaylee through it while Sam was in the waiting room. When it was finally time to push, Dean and another nurse held Kaylee's legs while she pushed.  

“Come on Kaylee you got this, push.” Dean said in her ear.

Kaylee dug deep into herself and with one strong push they both heard a loud wail. The doctor held up a purple faced, chubby, squealing human and proclaimed

“It’s a girl!”

Out of breath and exhausted, Kaylee was immediately in tears as Dean cut the chord and the nurses took the baby over to the table to get her cleaned up.

“Go, go with her.” Kaylee told Dean weakly.

“No,” he told her as tears fell down his cheeks “I can see her, I'm not leaving you.”

Kaylee didn't fight him, she squeezed his hand as they kissed and he murmured

“You did so well sweetheart, she's so beautiful just like you.”

Once the baby was cleaned up and handed over to Kaylee, fresh tears rolled out of her eyes as she looked at the tiny face she had only been able to imagine for nine months.

“Oh my god,” she said breathlessly “she's so cute, look at her cheeks.”

Dean felt like his face may crack from smiling so hard and his heart hammered in his chest as Delilah sighed comfortably in Kaylee's arms.

After spending some time with the girls by himself, Dean went and got Sam who was just as excited to see the baby.

“How's she look?” Sam asked

“Like Kaylee,” Dean said with pride “ten fingers, ten toes and all ready has us wrapped around them all.”

“You did a great thing you know?” Sam asked as they walked the hallway toward Kaylee's room “Stepping up when that dirt bag left her?”

“She let me,” Dean pointed out “what Devin did to her wasn't right, and she's more than capable of doing it on her own. But, I just couldn't stand there when she needed help.”

“You're more of a father than Devin ever will be.” Sam told him as they reached the door “You sacked up when another asshole wouldn't and that's what makes a Dad. DNA or not.”

Sam's words hit Dean like a ton of bricks as and overwhelming warm feeling spread though his chest.

“Thanks man.” Dean said and clapped his brother on the shoulder “All right, enough chick flick stuff, come meet Delilah.”

A few hours later, Sam went home to the bunker while Kaylee and Delilah got some rest. Dean was playing on his phone when a knock came at the door. He immediately stood and motioned for the nurse to be quite, pointing at Kaylee, who didn't even flinch.  

“Sorry, Mister Winchester?” The nurse asked and Dean walked over to her. “There’s a Devin Miller here to see Kaylee and he isn’t on the approved list.”

Dean was immediately angry and bewildered. How had he known where she was?

“I’ll handle him.” Dean said and walked out of the room, leaving Kaylee and Delilah sleeping and blissfully unaware.

When Dean arrived in the lobby, he found Devin pacing the floor. He looked up, caught Dean’s eye and looked confused.

“What’re you doing here?” Devin asked

“I think I should be asking you that.” Dean said

“Well she had the baby didn’t she?” Devin asked “So what is it? I hope it’s a boy.”

Dean’s jaw twitched.

“You can leave now.” Dean said

“Dude,” Devin said “you gotta let me see my kid.”

Dean’s hands clenched from not being able to punch Devin square in the nose.

“Look,” Dean said “you may have planted the seed, but you didn’t help it grow. So there’s the door and I suggest you use it.”

Devin looked floored, he wasn’t used to being treated this way.

“No way,” Devin said “why do I have to leave?”

“I don’t have anything else to say to you.” Dean snapped and went back toward the maternity ward.

“Keep walking beefcake!” Devin yelled “That’s my fucking kid and I’m getting in one way or another!”

Dean tightly clenched his jaw and fists, but kept walking as Devin continued to yell behind him.

“That’s not your kid! It’s mine!”

Once he made his way back up to the nurses station, he found the one that had pulled him aside.

“Only the people on the list are allowed up here right?” Dean asked her and the nurse nodded.

“Yes, unless you guys tell us other wise.” She answered.

“Okay, because he is definitely not allowed.” Dean said, anger overwhelming his system.

Once he’d taken a few deep breaths, Dean went back into the room where he found Kaylee was awake and holding Delilah against her chest.

“Where’d you go off to?” Kaylee asked

“Went to go call Sam,” Dean lied “see how things at the bunker are. He said he’d be by a little later and he’d pick us up something to eat on his way in.”

Dean hated lying to Kaylee but he knew the fact that Devin even showed up would upset her and she didn’t need that less than 24 hours after having a baby.

“Okay, that sounds good.” Kaylee said and looked down at Delilah with a serene smile on her face. Dean walked closer and Kaylee made room for him in the bed. Dean got as comfortable as he could next to Kaylee and admired them both.

“You did a good job,” Dean told her as he held her hand “really, you kicked ass.”

“Thanks,” She said “but I couldn’t have done it without you.”

“Hey, I’m here for moral support.” he said.

“No, I mean this whole thing.” She told him “I was scared to death when I showed up on your doorstep. I didn’t have anywhere to go and you and Sam stepped up and gave me a home when I didn’t have one. You helped me though this entire pregnancy when you didn’t have to.” She looked up at him with tears in her eyes “I don’t think I could ever say thank you enough for what you’ve done for me and her.”

Dean didn’t have the words to reply to her. Her gave her a broad smile and a kiss on the forehead.

“You two are my family,” he said “and I love you both.”

Delilah Anne Winchester

Born: April 3rd 2018

Mother: Kaylee Elizabeth Moon

Father: Dean Winchester

A few days later, Kaylee and Delilah were released from the hospital and Dean drove at a snail's pace so as not to jostle the baby too much in her car seat.

“It's gonna take us four hours to get home at this rate.” Kaylee chided him.

When they finally arrived back at the bunker, Sam was there to greet them and help bring the baby inside.

“Welcome home little bug.” Kaylee said to Delilah once they got her into the library. Kaylee picked her up and sat in one of the big leather chairs, cradling the sleeping baby.

“You want anything?” Sam asked as Dean walked in, carrying the bags from the car.

“Some water, or just something to drink,” Kaylee said “I'm parched.”

Sam nodded and Dean said

“I'll drop these in our room,” holding up the bags “you need anything else?”

“No, I'm good, thank you.” she told him with a grateful smile.

While putting the bags down, Dean heard Kaylee's phone going off somewhere. He searched through her overnight bag and found it chiming incessantly. He flipped it over to see that the screen was flooded with texts from Devin and he was instantly angry. He wasn't sure if he should tell Kaylee, but he already had a pit in his stomach from lying to her about Devin showing up. With a sigh, he went into the library where Sam was handing Kaylee a bottle of water.

“Your phone is blowing up.” Dean told her and handed it to her.

“Here,” Kaylee said and handed Delilah to Dean “you hold her while I figure out what's so important.”

Dean happily took the baby and held her in his arms. She briefly opened her eyes and stared at Dean.

“Hey there Delilah,” he said with a smile “what's it like in New York City?”

Sam rolled his eyes while Kaylee's eyebrows scrunched together as she read the messages from Devin.

“Everything okay?” Sam asked

“It's Devin.” she told them as she scrolled through the messages.  

Tell your fuckin boyfriend that kid is MINE, Idc how long he's been fucking you.

Fucking asshole had me kicked outta the hospital. I'll take you to court, that kid is mine.

Don't fucking ignore me you stupid bitch!!!

I'll have that kid taken from you if you keep it from me!

“What's he saying?” Sam asked

Kaylee's hands shook as she re-read the messages and started to cry.

“What's wrong?” Dean asked, alarmed.

“You had him kicked out of the hospital?” Kaylee asked as she looked at Dean.

Dean's face quickly turned ashen as Sam felt the air in the room change.

“Guys, here, let me take the baby, I'll put her down.” Sam said

Dean gave him a curt nod and handed the baby to Sam, who quickly left the room.

“How did he know where you were?” Dean asked

Kaylee sighed, looked at the floor and then looked at him.

“He knew because I told him.” Kaylee said

“And you failed to mention this to me why again?” Dean asked

“Because I didn't want you to be mad at me,” Kaylee said “I haven't told him anything other than that. Not the gender or the name or anything.”

Dean pinched the bridge of his nose. He had a million thoughts racing through his head as Kaylee started to crumble.

“Kaylee,” Dean said gently “look, I'm not angry okay?” and he walked over to her, crouching by her side “If you wanted him there all you had to do was tell me.”

“No,” she sobbed “it's not like I wanted him there, I just thought he should know I was having the baby, I didn't think he'd actually show up.”

Dean handed her some tissues, she then wiped away her tears and blew her nose.

“Look, I realize I should've told you he showed up but I'm not sorry for making him leave. He's had nothing to do with you since you told him you were pregnant, right?”

“I'm not lying when I tell you he never reached out,” Kaylee told him “because he didn't and I never offered up the information to him. I swear, the only thing I told him was when I was in labor.”

“Then why's he suddenly interested now?” Dean asked

“I don't know,” Kaylee said “I really don't. I'm gonna tell him enough is enough.” Kaylee grabbed her phone and started to type.

You haven't had a thing to do with me since I told you I was pregnant and now you're suddenly interested in the baby? I don't know what your deal is but the answer is no. You can't ignore me for nine months and then suddenly pretend like you're father of the year.

Kaylee hit send and then waited. Ten minutes later, her phone pinged and Devin had replied.

Bc it's my fucking kid that's why. Ur the one who didn't answer my messages. Let me see my kid or I'll fuckin sue u and ur asshole boyfriends and take the kid from you. Last time I'm warning you bitch.

“Let me talk to him.” Dean demanded.

“No,” Kaylee told him “he doesn't have a leg to stand on, you're listed as her Dad on the birth certificate and he isn't. The only way he could get any kind of custody is to prove he's the dad, which means he'll have to pay for a DNA test, get a lawyer and all that mumbo jumbo, which he won't do because one, it's expensive and two, he's way too lazy for all that.”

Take me to court then. That's the only way you'll see this baby. Period. Kaylee hit send.

“You really think he won't do it?” Dean asked

“If he does, which I doubt, I'm sure the police will be more than happy to see him, he has some unpaid parking tickets and a couple of warrants so I'm sure they'd be more than happy to get their hands on him.” she said with a grin.

“Jesus,” Dean said “you're hot when you're spiteful.”

The rest of the night went without a peep from Devin and the Winchesters settled with Delilah and Kaylee in Dean's man cave to watch something on TV.

“Let's do some of the Walking Dead.” Kaylee suggested as she held Delilah against her chest.

“Isn't that a bit much for the little bug?” Dean asked and nodded at the baby.

“Nah, she'll be fine, we watched Game of Thrones while I was pregnant and she was fine.” Kaylee said and kissed the top of Delilah's head “Plus she has to get used to sounds around the house. Everything I've read said you carry on with your routine as usual.”

“Including blood and guts?” Sam teased as he took a sip of his beer.

“Including blood and guts.” Kaylee said “Right little bug?”

Delilah snoozed on, not making a sound other than some heavy breathing.

“I think she agrees.” Kaylee said.

[surveys-at-your-service]

Survey #236

“so i asked you once, and i ask you again: where do your roots start, and where do your roots end?”

Do you wear a ring on your finger? Yeah, a Supernatural reference best friend one. Do you listen to your friends’ advice when they give it to you? I mean, it depends on the kind of advice and the seriousness of the issue. I'd say in most cases, yes. What’re you listening to right now? "Angel Eyes" by New Years Day ft. Chris Motionless. Have you ever thought about getting your nose pierced? It has been, twice. I don't think I'll do it again because my glasses are just in the way and they come out and get lost too easily. Is your last ex still someone you care about and do you still have romantic feelings for your ex? Yes to both. My feelings towards her haven't changed at all, we just made a heavily-discussed, hard, but wise decision for the time being. Are you someone’s best friend? Sara. What’s the biggest annoyance in your life right now? Annoyance, ummm... oh, easy. Being poor as dirt. That's only slightly under my skin, y'know? Have you spoken to your mother today? Yeah, I live with her. When was the last time you cried and why? PTSD. It's started to become relevant again, jOY to THe WOrlD!!!!!1!!!1!!!!! Is there someone who makes you instantly smile when you receive a message from them? I mean I don't always smile, but I consistently do get excited. If someone loved you right now, would you want them to tell you? *confused screaming* Do you like to cuddle? If I'm seriously romantically into you, yes. Is any part of you sad at all? I think that's always going to be a thing for me, somewhere down in there. Do you like seafood? Only shrimp, and even that I don't like in some forms. Do you have any of your exes as friends on Facebook? Yeah. Does more than one person like you? Idk. Do you ever worry that people might be talking about you behind your back? Always. Fuck, I think Sara's the only person I can count on to never. Do you call your partner ‘baby’? I hated it and never used it 'til Sara. I eventually did, and somehow, it felt okay and not disrespectful??? Idk if I'll use it again. What's the most boring guy’s name out there? Like, "Bob" or something. Do you know how to play Mahjong? Nope. Ever had a promise ring? No. What’s the biggest turn off in the opposite sex? Send me a dick pic and I will actually KICK you in the dick. Fun fact, even though I'm still bi, visually, penises gross me the fuck out and so I'd rather see someone's as little as possible, m'kay? Doing that is like a surefire way for me to decide "oh no bye boy." How often do you catch yourself daydreaming? A whole lot. This time last year, were you single? No. Who is someone you’ll always hate? The doctor that put me on a medication that put around 100 pounds on me and blamed it aaaaaall on me. :^) Do you know anyone with the same name as you? Yeah, just spelled differently. Who knows your biggest secret(s)? Sara. Do you ever read the threads on r/AskReddit? No. Are you currently stressed out about anything? You have no fucking idea. What’s your Instagram @? brittanymphotography or eldritch_obscura, depending on what kind of photography you're into. Don't have a personal one. Have you ever smoked a cigarette? No. Are you in love with anyone at the moment? It's so complicated. I think, but I also question the "in" love part. That and just "loving" are different to me. I want her, I want Jason, and here I am strictly monogamous. I barely understand what I feel romantically rn. If a friend called you to help hide a body, would you help or turn them in? UM fuck that I'm calling the cops. Have you ever had a crush on someone that, now as you look back, is completely embarrassing? Not really. How would you react if a friend started dating your ex? When "ex" is used singularly, I always assume you want The Ex. So, regardless of friend, that'd feel weird, but with certain people/levels of friendship, less so than others. If you were in an emergency, which friend would you call first? So not family? Uhhh, I don't know. It depends on the kind of emergency. Ever kissed someone who wasn’t single? No. Other than that "someone who wasn't single" being my partner. Are you single? if no who are you dating and for how long? Not right now, no. What kind of music do you listen to? Tons of different forms of metal, rock, indie, and I'm even into some electro stuff now. Do you have any YouTube videos of yourself? Thank the merciful lord, not anymore. What’s your fave YouTube video? BIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHHH the one featuring Dark in A Heist With Markiplier. I am not exaggerating my love of White Suit Dark. Use three words that best describe your best friend: Passionate, loyal, and resilient as a motherfucker. Now use three that best describe you: Also passionate, empathetic, and caring. List three things that describe your crush/love: Look I love someone but am also preoccupied with the idea of Jason coming back to me. It's not a "crush," it's being in love with a memory. I don't have a clue how to answer this rn. Is there someone in the family that no one really talks to? As far as extended family goes, yeah. Have you ever been romantically interested in a coworker? N/A What is the game you’re currently playing most often on your phone? None; I have no games on it because my phone has incredibly small memory. Same. Are you close to someone who is mentally unwell? Well, define "unwell." I have a load of friends and family with mental disorders, but calling them "mentally unwell" seems too severe. Do you have an opinion on adopting/purchasing a pet? Adopt, dude. There are so, SO many cats and dogs and I'm sure more that need a home, but you'd rather pay hundreds for a dog with likely some sort of health problem from extreme breeding than adopt an animal for a far cheaper price that ALREADY needs a family? Come on, now. Have you ever read any of your idols’ books/autobiographies? I read Ozzy's autobiography. Do you know anyone who is freaked out by cats? ???????????? no????????????? What name would you pick for yourself? Probably "Zoey." Do you enjoy going to live shows? Do concerts count? 'Cuz yeah. Who do you spend the most time with? My mom, I guess? She's the only one I live with, but she's like, never home because she works more than she breathes. What color do you wish your hair was? Natural hair, blonde. So much easier to dye, jc. Does any of the jewelry you wear have sentimental significance? The ring mentioned earlier, as well as the bracelet Sara also gave me. Who is your favorite drummer? Eh, no op Do you find musicians attractive? This is a dumb question... It depends on the musician??? If you could get any piercing, what would it be? I want a microdermal below/near the outer corner of my eye NOW. But I have glasses so it would totally ruin the purpose, ugh. Do you scream, yell, jump around and dance at shows or do you stand still? Just cheer, really. I wouldn't call it "screaming." I guess I can yell, too? Have you ever lost your voice from screaming so much? "No. I’ve had a sore throat." <<<< This. What’s your favorite color on the person you have feelings for? Both Sara and Jason, as well as like anyone, I love wearing black. Actually, Sara is super cute in light colors, like baby pink. Ugh talking about them at the same time feels fuckin weird. Who’s your favorite horror monster/killer? Alright, let's just say like, the "traditional" guys. I suppose Jason? His silence, totally casual pursuit, and mask creep me out, man. What kind of music do you prefer to listen to when driving? When I myself am driving, I don't want music on. I can't concentrate. Are you willing to board airplanes? I've gone up to see Sara like... three times within two years, I think? They don't scare me too much. I don't like takeoff, though. Too rocky and dizzying. Do looks really matter to you when it comes to friendship? ??????????? what?????????? the fuck??????????????? Do you accept friend requests from people you don’t know? Nope. I have to not only know you, but care more about you than like the average acquaintance of whatever. What is one of your best talents? Writing, I guess? Are/were you a rebellious youth or angsty teen? ha ha oh BOY Do you put your change in a jar for savings? No. How do you feel about transvestites? BITCH y'all great. I love you. Fuckin ROCK YA SHIT. Do you know anyone with a land line at their house? Yes, actually. Do you have any guilty pleasures? Certain kinds of daydreams. Have you been in a fist fight with someone you didn’t want to fight? I've never had a physical fight. Has anyone ever convinced you to do something you didn’t want to? Sure. Usually for my own benefit/growth, though. Are you a sensitive person? Yeah, quite a bit. Do you enjoy writing? Yep. Are you a germ-o-phobe? YEAH. Would you ever own a hairless rat, cat or dog? I would TOTALLY have a sphynx. There's this one breed of dog too and is furless on most places but does have some furry areas and are so ugly they're cute, and I once almost did adopt a hairless rat. So there's your answer. Do you prefer big, fluffy towels or normal sized/smaller towels? BIG FLUFF What is the image on your beach towel? Don't have one of those. Are you good with making eye contact? NO. I never know how long to maintain it and overthink it HEAVILY. I avoid it most of the time. What is your favorite book that was turned into a movie? Probably The Outsiders. I thought it did the book great justice. Do you like the movie or the book better? I don't remember either well enough. Do you watch porn? No. I don't want to watch some strangers bang each other. It's in no way arousing to me. What’s your favorite flavor of applesauce, if any? I guess just normal? Do you go to a firework show every 4th of July? Nah. Are you diabetic? No. Are you allergic to gluten? No. I don't think I'd survive. Are you lactose intolerant? No. Do you live with your parents? Just my mom. Parents are divorced and Mom had full custody, and my two sisters are proper adults that can survive without their mommy. :^) How much experience do you have written down on your resume, approximately? NOT A LOT!!!!!!!! I only count like, one damn job that was valid/lasted a couple months, but only because I very rarely worked. I also only include my previous online college, and should I create a resume now, obviously the one I currently attend. What’s your favorite song to dance to? I do not dance, my friend. What do you think of your parents? Both of them are great. Mom is the reason I'm (in the big picture) healthy, even alive. I WOULD be dead, died a long time ago, if it was not for that woman. Saved my life again and again and again, been there for me through both the same old shit and new madness. I'mma stop here before I actually cry just thinking about how thankful I am for her. Dad, too, I love, and I aspire to be as positive as he seems nowadays. His loyalty to my sisters and me, especially after the shit I've said, is incredible. He doesn't take a lot too seriously, and that's nice, especially when you're having a hard time. He's an optimistic guy now that always makes an effort to cheer you up. He's a total goof, too. He's just fun to be around. What do you think makes you attractive to other people? HA, fuck if I know. I guess my vertical lip labret stands out? Everyone I've dated since having it has at some point pointed out that that's like, my trademark that makes me recognizable right off the bat and that it looks good on me. One of the few things I even like on myself. Would more money make you happier? Look me right in the fucking eye and answer "no" to this. What is one of your favorite memories as a child? Watching my older sister play demo discs' video games after waking up. It's something so simple, but idk, I love remembering that. What’s your favorite kind of cake? Probably red velvet, like gd that shit good. Who is your favorite sports team? Idc. Like I have a natural fondness towards the Carolina Hurricanes 'cuz they're Dad's favorite and we've gone to some games together, but I really don't care. Who would you like to get to know better? I have this high school acquaintance named Courtlynn on my Facebook that seems so cool and relatable. She seems to like me too (not romantically, but she's really supportive, hearts like everything, comments the sweetest stuff sometimes, all that), I just think both of us are shy to reach out. What is the strangest food you ever ate? "I don’t eat anything I consider strange. I’m so picky and basic." <<<< Big 'ole fat same. What’s your favorite thing to order at a Chinese food restaurant? I exclusively only eat pork fried rice and/or egg rolls. Are you an organ donor? YES!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE BE ONE!!!!!!!!!! YOU DON'T NEED THEM ONCE UR DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!! THE LIVING DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAVE SOME LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What’s your favorite candle scent? FRESH BAKED BREAD MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM What would you do if you found an abandoned animal? Check for identification and call if a number is given, offer it food and water, put a notification up on Facebook about a lost pet... all that stuff. We'd try to avoid a shelter, probably, because yeah. Euthanization is a thing. Have you ever kissed someone who had a tongue piercing? I am the one with the tongue piercing lmao. No. Is it easy for someone to make you cry? OH YES, QUITE. How many children can you see yourself having? IF I had kids, IF, I could not possibly imagine myself with more than two. What is your favorite PlayStation 1 game? SILENT HILL FUCK MAN I LOVE THAT SHIT. Are you competitive? Not really. Depends. Black and white or colored photos? It very much depends. Composition, lighting, content, all that contributes to what I find more aesthetically pleasing. Do you prefer to date younger, older, or the same age as you? Preferably around my age. What’s something from the past that you don’t miss at all? Being a depressed mess every waking moment of my life. Do you like ice cream cake? Not really. Do you wash your hair every day? No, every day is bad for your hair. Do you have trouble sticking to promises? Definitely not. I'm good at that. Have you ever made out with someone of the same sex? Very briefly. She thought she was ready, but not quite. What kind of headphones do you have? Right now they're literally just flimsy hot pink earplugs from a dollar store lmao. How often do you go to parties? Never. Do you sleep in awkward positions? I don't think so. Do you experiment a lot with new looks on yourself? Not really. Where is your favorite place to be kissed? Don't touch my tits with, like, anything. Do you ever quote your favorite movie in normal conversations? No? Do people ever tell you that you look stoned when you’re not? No. Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? *shrugs* why not both? Do hospitals freak you out? To a degree. Been there enough times to both get semi-used to it, but it also agitates old wounds and makes me antsy to get out. What about cemeteries at night? I've never experienced this, so I can't say. But the idea doesn't really creep me out, no. What is your favorite Nintendo 64 game? I never had one. Were you mean as a little kid? Nah, I was a good kid actually.

Chapter 8

Liam storms into his office slamming the door and grabbing the bottle of whiskey and a glass. He pours himself a double downing it quickly then another. How could his father, his own father keep this from him. Why? Liam knows that Constantine saw how heartbroken he was when Bella died. If that was the reason for not telling him about the hit, he could understand that. But Constantine kept this from him for for years. There was no reason for him to.

Liam knew Constantine never fully opened up to him. They were not close. He would only tell him the bare minimum of what he needed to know. Liam really didn’t care, but when it had anything to do with Bella or her family, he had expected Constantine to tell him everything he knew. That was a part of the deal. He knew that when his father died that he was expected be the one to take over. He never really wanted that. If that’s what it took to hold those responsible for Bella’s death. He would do it no questions asked. Why does this keep happening to him. Everyone he loves dies. First his mom, then Bella.

“Fuck!” He says throwing his glass against the wall. He sits down at his desk. Head in his hands. He grabs the whiskey and drinks straight from the bottle. He goes to his room taking the bottle with him. He is finishing his 4th drink when he gets a knock on his door. He opens it to see Drake. Drake walks in his room closing the door behind him. “Seriously Liam.” Drake says shaking his head seeing Liam stumble back to his chair.

“I don’t wanna hear it.” Liam says taking another swig from the bottle. He passes the bottle to Drake who takes a drink before passing it back.

“I just wanted to let you know that our problem from earlier is taken care of. Liam nods his head. What did you find out from your dad?” Drake asks him. Liam fills him in on what his father told him. Drake sits there in disbelief. “That’s pretty messed up Li.” Drake says after a few minutes. Unsure of what else to say. “Have you heard anything from Bastien?”

“No not yet.”

“Okay well let me know. I’m going to head out. You need anything before I go?” Drake asks Liam before getting up to leave.

“Nah I’m good. Liam tells him raising the bottle. Drake nods leaving the room. Liam gets up laying down on the bed. His mind going thru everything that has happened before passing out from the whiskey.

Liam wakes up the next day with a pounding headache. He had passed out fully clothed. At least I woke up alone. He thinks relieved. He gets up, showers and gets dressed. He walks to his father’s study he wants to see what new information they have on the phoenix. He knocks. No one answers. He must not be home. He goes to his office. He sits down having a drink to help his hangover. His thoughts going back to the day before. He goes to get another drink and stops himself. Getting drunk was not going to help. He tells himself. He decides to go out for a walk. His mind racing. Replaying the events in his head. How they went to the hotel. How they found Tariq’s body. How his dead face was frozen in fear. He thought about how there was not even a trace of anyone other than Tariq being in the room. The Phoenix was a professional. If he could get in and out that quickly without being noticed, he knew it would only be a matter of time before he came after Constantine and himself.

He is so lost in thought that he doesn't realize he walked to the bridge where he can see the Statue of Liberty. He feels an ache in his chest. He turns around to head back home when suddenly someone runs into him. He feels the person grab onto him to avoid falling. “Oh I’m sorry. He looks down and sees……Bella?”

************************************

Bella wakes up the next morning to a knock on her door. She stretches, rubbing her eyes as she opens the door to see her best friend Lily.

“Bella!” “Lily?” Bella says surprised as she gives her a big hug before inviting her in.

“It’s been forever. How are you?”

“I’m good.” Jax told me you were here and I wanted to see how you were doing.”

“I’m better now that you’re here.” Bella says excited to see her friend again after so long.

When Bella first started training with the clanless, Jax and Lilly were her teachers. They helped her to learn and perfect everything she needed to know. All three of them became close. Once Bella was capable of taking on hits by herself, she rarely saw either one of them. It had been months since since she last saw Lily.

Lily sits down on the bed as Bella gets up to get her clothes ready. “Well now that I’m here there’s no reason for you to stay hidden in your room. Let’s go out and grab breakfast then we can do a little sightseeing and catch up.”

“Ok sounds like fun. Bella says “Let me just take a quick shower. I smell like alcohol she says frowning.

“Yeah...I wasn’t going to say anything…..but yeah, you could use a shower.” she says wrinkling her nose with a laugh. “I will meet you downstairs.” Lily leaving the room quickly before Bella gets a chance to retort. Bella laughs shaking her head as she goes to take a shower. She meets Lilly downstairs and they get breakfast. Afterwards, they decide to take a walk as they continue catching up on each other’s lives.

“So you being back in New York means one thing.”She gives you a knowing look. “Did everything go well?”

“Yes it did. It feels good to finally start what I came out here to do.”

“Have you had anymore flashbacks about your past since you have been here?” Lily asks.

“A few things but not much. Just bits and pieces.”

“What about “blue eyes”? Still dreaming about him?”

“Sometimes” you tell Lily avoiding her eyes. You feel the heat flushing your cheeks. She just laughs.

“Uh huh” she says with a smirk. “So besides your imaginary boyfriend, are you dating anyone?” Lily asks.

“No Lil... you of all people know how hard it is to have a relationship in our line of business.”

It’s was too dangerous. Not to mention all the lying and secrets you would have to keep from them. You had tried in the past but you never really felt anything for the men you had dated. It was nothing more than a casual hook up on your part. It was too hard to make anything work. You and Lily continue walking for a little while longer and before you know it you are at the bridge where you can see the Statue of Liberty. Just seeing the statue brought the dream back. You close your eyes seeing his face flash in front of you. You feel an ache in your heart. How can you feel so deeply about someone you have never met?

“Bella...hello...earth to Bella.” Lily says snapping you from your thoughts.

“Oh sorry Lil. what were you saying?

“I said I have to go. I have a meeting to get to.” She says. I need to get back. Ready to go?

“No actually I’m going to stay here for a little while. Catch up with you later?” You ask her.

“Of course.” she says. “I will text you.”

“Ok Lil I will see you later.” You tell her giving her a hug. You turn back around looking at the statue once again lost in your thoughts. You lose track of time standing there thinking about him. There was just something so familiar about him. Like you knew him. You shake your head thinking you might actually be going crazy. You start to walk off when you get a text. You look down at your phone to see who it is and run straight into someone. “Oh I’m sorry….you start to say hands going up to steady yourself. You look up and you see the same blue eyes from your dream staring back at you...It’s him.

20 Random Things You Don’t Know About Me

Hi guys! I thought I would do something a little fun, humiliating (LOL), and different on my blog today and share 20 things you might not know about me. I get it. As a reader, I, too, love learning a bit more about the people I read. So here goes!

1. I have this weird habit where I want my feet warm especially at night before I go to sleep. I usually put some lotion on it and then put my socks on. And if there are no socks, I put a pillow under my feet, like I'm a mermaid LOL. Weird, I know! But it prevents me from having leg cramps in the morning. 

That is my trophy for the singing contest. This picture was taken 2010, and I couldn’t find my trophy anymore so deal with that picture. Just kiddin’ 

2. I won first place at a singing contest at a talent show back when I was in kindergarten. I sang this 90s hit song My Heart Will Go On By Celine Dion. And I believe that if my parents put me or enrolled me in a voice lesson, girl, I could've been a singer today, and I might be joining singing contest like The Voice. But I only do the singing thing at the shower and karaoke. Hahaha

Left Pic: My oldest brother wasn’t there because he was working abroad Right Pic: My oldest sister is living in Canada, and my older brother is living in South Korea. My mom was holding her phone because that's them on the videocall.

3. I was supposed to have six siblings so that would make us a total of seven. I had an oldest sister, supposed to be the second child, who died because of some complications in her heart when she was still a newborn. Next is my Ate Jaz, which makes her my oldest sister alive. Then after Ate Jaz, my mom had a miscarriage. Basically, my Ate was in between two dead babies. And if ever my two siblings were alive today, I might not be here or I probably don't exist. I have such a huge age gap with my siblings because my mom had me at the age of 38, and she said that I was her only child who made her pregnancy and giving birth so hard. I was born via C-Section and the rest of my siblings were all delivered normal. So, lucky me for being here! LOL

My collection of Candy Magazine back in High School.

4.  Back in High School, I used to collect Candy Magazine until first-year college. This magazine helped me with all my teenage issues like self-esteem, body image, peer pressure, beauty, fashion, dating, friendship, career, etc. They have a bunch of articles there that I enjoyed reading. And I've always wanted to be one of their models, but I was an ugly duckling, and I'm not the confident type of girl back then. I still kept these magazines inside my sentimental box. 

This is my box full of photos, letters, diaries, and other stuff.

5. Speaking of the sentimental box, I'm a very sentimental person. I have boxes of stuff from my friends, family, and ex-boyfriends. I kept this stuff for good memories purposes because I like reminiscing good memories. It reminds me of these real moments that I was once shared with these people, and it's like my return ticket to that memories, whether it's funny, romantic, or sad. Plus good times need to be remembered. They need to celebrate and felt. You know, we're not getting any younger anymore, time will come that a part of our brain might forget those memories. So keeping pictures, letters, and diaries is one way to keep those memories alive.

These are my IDs from the Youth Camp Fellowship.

6. I used to be active in Church back when I was in High School. I even joined the Music Ministry and tried to learn how to play the piano. I went to a few Youth Camp Fellowship and met a lot of people, and it was fun. The reason why I became so active in Church because I had a crush on our drummer guy (he’s my first kiss). Yuck! LOL

Love Me Like You Do By Ellie Goulding (Short Clip) / Stay By Rihanna (Cover)

7. As I was saying on number 6, I used to play the piano before. They made us choose a musical instrument that we want to play, and I was supposedly gonna go for drums because it's cool, plus I used to listen to a lot of rock bands back then, but I didn't choose it because my crush is going to be the one who's going to teach us, and I was shy, so I end up with piano. I actually tried learning how to play the guitar but you got to have callouses on your fingers in order to play it well because it freaking hurts girl! Hehe

8. Okay, let's talk about Puppy Love. When I was in grade school, I have a crush on this guy who's like 3 years older than me, and he's our neighbor. When I got into 6th grade, he started noticing me, and we became, I don't know, together? Like boyfriend and girlfriend? Haha. But since I'm a shy type kind of girl, I was having a hard time talking to him without blushing, I couldn't even let him hold my hands, or hug me, or kiss me. None of that happened. So we write letters to each other (cellphone is not a thing at that time). I know it's all cheesy and mushy and all, but anyways. I asked my niece to be our messenger haha. So I will give the letter to her, and she will give it to him, and then vice versa. Okay, so this is the funny part!! My niece left my goddamn letter for him at our dining table! And my sister and brother read the whole thing. I was so annoyed at my niece. My siblings were like mad at me for having a boyfriend at such a young age because you know, I'm their little sister, and little sissy is not allowed to have a boyfriend LOL. And then they threatened me that they're going to tell it to my mom, so I broke up with him after a week using a letter haha. We kept in touch til I got into High School. I think we went out before, we watch a movie but I brought a chaperone with me. HAHA we didn’t end up together because he’s such a playboy. FYI: I don't count him as my ex-boyfriend. LOL

9. I had a puppy named Mocha because she’s dark brown and it suits her. She’s a shih tzu and she’s the cutest puppy in the world but she died because she got sick. I miss her so much! :(

Snorkeling at Coron, Palawan.

10. I love going to the beach. I love swimming! My mom’s sister owns a beach resort and it was just an hour away from our place. We always go there every summer, and that’s where I learned how to swim, not in the swimming pool, but in the ocean. I was supposedly going to be a swimmer. My 4th grade teacher trained me, and he trained other students in other sports like badminton and volleyball, and they joined sports competition, and they win medals. So I got very interested because I want to win medals too. So I did my training but I was having a hard time to dive. I know I'm doing it wrong because the water kept going inside my nose and it freaking hurts. So I stopped and quit the training because I couldn't do it properly. Haha

I think I was in 3rd Grade in here. Lol

11. I joined Girl Scout back in grade school. I can't remember why I joined. All I know is I am going to have a lot of fun in here. And that was my first camping experience. We camped out at our school, and yeah, it was fun and scary at the same time because there are lots of ghost stories in our school. Our motto: "Girl Scouts are always ready and prepared.” 

I also joined Drum & Bugle. I was a Majorette, the one who throws the baton in the air and twirls it. I just love to dance back then, and nope, I'm not a professional dancer. It's just that life is better when you dance! :)

Junior Year High School. Cheer Dance Competition during our Intramurals Day. 

12. When I got into High School, I've always wanted to join Cheer Dance Competition since I was in my freshman year. But most of the girls in my school back then were all pretty and mean. I only joined when I was in my junior year, and we won 2nd place. I'm really not a good dancer, but I know I've got moves. I just don't know what happened today LOL. I'm one of those girls who they always lift and toss because obviously in the picture I'm thin as a rake haha. Then I tried joining again in College, and I got into an accident. I freaking fell flat on my back while we're doing our pyramid stunt and no one's there to catch me. Ouchie! I'm on the second level, standing on my right leg at this guy's shoulder, and then my left leg was angled and lifted because on the third level, a girl's going to stand on my left thigh. She was scared and not keeping her balance well so she dragged me backward with her. Someone caught her and none for me because the way I go down the pyramid is by jumping in front. Our coach didn't see that coming and I thought I am gonna go home with broken hips.

Left to Right: Elementary Graduation Day; Sophomore Year in College; Junior Year - wearing retainer; Retainer and Braces Free 

13. I first had my braces when I was in 6th grade because my sister got one, so I want one too LOL. I had it for a very long time. Since I got it at such a young age, my teeth were not complete yet. And based on my x-ray, I've got several impacted wisdom tooth that's going to come out so my doctor waited for it. I only got it removed when I was in my 3rd-year college. So I had my braces for 7 years. HAHA

14. I can’t whistle. I tried. I don’t know how to. I can’t do it. PERIOD

Cupcake Nail Art, Cheetah Print Nail Art, Polka Dots Nail Art

15. I love doing my nail art from when I was in High School to College. I don't like my nails plain and simple back then, so I put a design on it and make it fun. I'm always into art and being creative. Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun. So my parents saw that potential in me, and they made me choose Architecture as my profession.

These are my high school arts that I saw on my facebook LOL.

16. I'm not a morning person. I hate waking up so early. I only wake up so early if I have important errands to run or if I have to go to work. I love sleeping during the day and staying up during the night. I'm a night owl. There's something about being up at night that makes it more peaceful to work and think. Most of my creative juices come out during the night. And I've read that night owls have better mental alertness than early risers. I don't need caffeine to keep me up at night. LOL

17. I'm not a coffee person. Don't get me wrong, I love the smell of coffee. It's just that the coffee doesn't like me at all. Every time I drink coffee, especially those with high caffeine like espresso, I end up palpitating and having heartburn. I can drink it but not too much, and sometimes I preferred Frappuccino. I'm more of a tea person. I love chamomile and red berries flavors.

FEU I.D. vs BPSU I.D.

18. I went to two schools back in College. When I was in my senior year in High School, I didn't really plan my college life. I have no idea what school I am going to attend. I only know was my mom wants me to take up Architecture even though I don't want to. So yeah, I end up going to Far Eastern University for 2 years. Then, my Dad, he was working abroad in Libya, and there was a war at that time in the Middle East. So they had to go home and stopped working. We have no income, we had financial issues, and that's when I decided to return home and study in my hometown, get a scholarship because I have no choice. I was in college for 6 years, supposedly 5 years only but I had to retake some of my subjects that I already took up in my previous school because the school didn't credit it.

Back in 2015, I tried to dress up like Blair Waldorf. She loves wearing headband hehe

19. My favorite show of all time is Gossip Girl. It's like the first rated r tv shows that I really got hooked up and fall in love with. It's the reason why I've always wanted to go to New York. I have watched this already a few times, and it doesn't get old. I love Serena Van Der Woodsen (Blake Lively), her style, and the way she carries her clothes. She's this free-spirited, charming, nice, laidback IT GIRL. And then Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) aside from her classy, preppy style, I like her domineering and loyal personality. Plus her romantic on and off love affair with Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick). But my biggest crush on this show is Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford), oh god I love his eyes, it's so sexy! HAHA

Sandbox Adventure at Pampanga; Bike Trailing and Wakeboarding at Nuvali, Laguna; and Skimboarding at Boracay

20. I love some good adventure. I have this bucket list of things to do before I die, and I want to fulfill that. Like traveling the whole world, plus I want to go skydiving or bungee jumping. Aside from that, you're just not creating memories, you're also trying new things. And I'm always up for trying new things, and I like challenging myself sometimes. Life is boring if you don't at least try or go out of your comfort zone. Just try new things once in a while, and don't be afraid to soar high.

What’s something random about you? And if you make a post, share it below. Thank you so much for dropping by!

Love Lots, Jamie

Male:Mal x Reader

I hope that you guys enjoy this lovely Evil genderbent Mal that is brought to you by DragonStar sponsored by wickedisheretostay.org which was made possible by viewers like you 👍.

Fair warning I don't know much of descendants lore, I've only seen the movies and the mini series so some shit might (will) be wrong so yeah.

Ben: Bentlie

Audrey: Andre

Chad: Cindy 

Jane: James

Lonnie: Louie? (Might change it)

Carlos: Carla 

Jay: Jen 

Evie: Evan

Mal: Mal (yes still)

If you have better ones please let me know and I'll  change it to them instead.

__________ 

Much like Princess Bentlie you too believed that the children in Isle of the Lost deserve a chance to prove that they can be good unlike their parents so you were all for it when she talked her parents into the idea but of course they wanted to start it with a few at first (babysteps).

Once everything was set up they brought the teens to Auradon, you stood within the crowd to watch as they arrived and "stepped"  out of the limo, two girls were fighting over something which you weren’t too focused on youreyes were on the tall purple hair boy. His eyes quickly scan through the crowd which included you before landing on Bentlie as she approached him with Andre by her side.

You couldn't hear them but from what you could tell the boy was faking the smile on his face as they talked. After a few seconds Bentlie lead them out of sight into the school dorms not seeing a reason to stick around you left.

~The Next Day~

You had heard about the mishap at the museum and couldn’t help but think that it was the villain kids, the timing of it was just too weird but you didn't want to say anything because you had no proof and you could be wrong so instead you just decided to keep your eyes on them for any strange behavior. 

So far they weren’t doing much Jen was trying out for the girls sport team, Carla was learning that not every furry creature wants to eat him, Evan was getting suckered into doing Cindy's home work and Mal looks like he's just been doing normal stuff.... nothing really out of the ordinary.

You frowned because it just didn't seem right out of all of them he's the only one behaving, it's almost too behaved. Your frown deepened. 'Just what's going on here? Are they honestly trying to be good and I'm just assuming things? Or are suspicions justified? I do believe that the villains kids can be more than just a next generation of their parents but the museum incident just seems like more than a coincidence' You sighed.

"God let me be wrong" You said out loud to no one (that you know of anyway), soon he got up from the bench and left. Before you could follow after but James fell from putting up the signs for Bentlie's crowning and leaded on you, quite roughly too.

"Ow f-" You were cut off when James got up and apologize over and over repeatedly while carefully helping you up. Once up you rubbed your bruised arm and cringedfrom the sore feeling from your body.

"It's fine James it was an accident" You looked him over to see if he was alright, for the most part he looked fine just a slight bruise on the side of his face, ruffled hair and a few specks dirt on his clothes.

"Looks like you've got a bruise on the side of your face tho" He touched it and winch.

"Ouch, I think I should go get it taken care of or at least find a way to hide before my dad finds out..." He said as he placed a hand to cover it."Would you like me to get you somethingfor your arm?" You shook your head.

"No I'm good thanks anyway" He nodded before quickly rushing off to do something about the bruise while I sighed out of disappointment for losing Mal.

~P.O.V Shift~

I had gone back to my room after no luck of finding Mal. I share the room with Repunzel's kid who wasn't here at the moment probably because she's helping decorate the crowning party, she is a lovely girl and quite artsy, and very kind her only flaw her long and I mean long hair that gets everywhere other than that I am happy that I got her to room with rather than Cindy.  

I sat down on my bed just as Ruby steps in and looks to me concernly. "____ are you okay?" I frowned a bit unaware that I looked trouble enough for her to be concerned in the first place. 

"Yeah why do you ask?" She stepped forward and was about to sit down next to me but I quickly shouted not wanting her to get paint on my bed.

"Wait!" I  placed my hands to block as she looked at me worriedly.

"What's wrong?" She asked as she stepped back.

"Your usually always covered in paint, I don’t want it on my bed covers" She blinked before calming down. "You know for like the fifth time this week" I said remembering how annoyed I was with having to clean it up, sure she offered but I was afraid she might make it worse.

"Oh is that it?" She moved the hand that was behind her back and rubbed her blonde hair. "Uh sorry I wasn't thinking" Now much calmer she sat on her bed facing me. "Well anyway, I was asking because you just seem troubled so what's eating at you?" 

"Nothings eating at me, I'm completely fine" I lied which I didn’t like doing especially to Ruby but I didn't want to tell her that I suspect that the Vkids broke into the museum, I just don't want to seem like I don't believe in them which I do.... and I don't at the same time well more like I'm just cautious. I don't want to believe in them too much that I'm blinded to facts.

"Are you sure? if you want to tell me anything you can" I nodded.

"I know but at the moment I have nothing..... you know I feel tired so I'mgoing to sleep early okay?" She slowly nodded and smiled.

"Of course" And with that I laid down and slowly started to fall asleep but not before hearing Ruby leave  after that it was pretty much la-la land.

When I finally woke up the next morning I noticed that my covers were changed and there was a note taped to it, I picked it up and read it hoping it would explain why my covers were different from what I went to sleep in.

Hey _____ when I got back I was covered in paint because of a little mishap earlier and I accidentally got paint on your covers.... I know that it’s probably the.. 4th time this week? But I wasn't paying attention to where I was about to sit and well you get the pic but don't worry your bestie is going to clean it up and make it good as new  ;p 

P.S you are a heavy sleeper :I 

My eye twitched as I read the letter and was holding back the scream of frustration but I didn't want to alert anyone and have them wonder why I was screaming for seemingly no reason. With a sigh I got up from my bed and noticed the paint that covered our floor. "Seriously Ruby?"

I shook my head and got dressed once I was done I went to class and continued on with observing the Vkids, it has usual Mal was well behaved no suspicious behavior other than the fact that he's well behaved when class was over I went back to follow in between classes until lunch. 

And still nothing as I sat there watching him and his friends until Evan noticed and pointed it out so I quickly looked away pretending that I was eating my sandwich. That's when Ruby showed up.

"Hey _____ did you get my note?" She sat down in front of me blocking my view of Mal.

"Yes Ruby I got your note and really you messed them up again? Seriously?" She laughed awkwardly before looking apologetic.

"Yeah,sorry I really wasn’t paying attention I was too busy thinking about why there was this girl with hair covering her face rushing past me which is why I ended up covered in paint in the first place" She explained while I brushed it off, it's nothing new one the girls probably saw a zit and rushed to cover it. The princess were super obsessed with not being caught with one.

After lunch had passed and the rest of our classes were over with I decided to follow him just this once if I still come up empty handed then I'll let it go. 

I followed him into the garden area and into the maze which was stupid but I know this place like the back of my hand before I drifted away from being friends with Bentlie we would play in this like crazy so I came to learn about its in and outs. So I'mconfident enough that I'll be fine.

After awhile we came to a stop and he called me out. "You can stop following me now"

'Shit' I slowly stepped out from where I was hiding as he turned to face me, his green eyes looked me over before making eye contact.

"So are you going to explain why you were following me?" He asked while I quickly thought of a lie.

"I was curious to how you were adjusting" He sighed.

"So we're doing it this way huh?" He flipped through a spell book and before I could do anything veins started wrapping me up tight to the point where I couldn't move an inch.

"Feel like talking now?" I glared but didn't want to give it so I told another lie.

"Alright Pinocchio have it your way" Again he went flipping through the pages and casted another spell.

"Now why are you following me?" With zero control I told him everything and he frowned. "That's it? I thought you knew more" He rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Why? What more do you have planned? And why did you break into the museum anyway? What's in there that was worth getting sent back to the isle?" I shot question after question and when I was done he smirked. 

"Wouldn't you like to know?" He mocked enjoying the fact of how little I know of his plan. 

"Well it doesn't matter if I know or not heroes always win so just you wait, they'll put a stop to your plans" He chuckled before calming himself.

"Are we thinking about two different heroes here? Cause have you seen these losers?" He pointed in the direction of the school. "They have their heads shoved so far up their asses they won't notice it until it'stoo late and their parents have gone soft from living in la-la land for too long that they won't even be a problem" I did think about it and sure some of them *cough* Cindy *cough* aren't exactly all that dependable but I'm willing to bet that good will triumph over evil like it has so many times before.

"They just might surprise you" I glared as his smirk widen more, taking another step closer he bent down to eye level with me not once breaking eye contact. 

"We'll see about that but in the meantime I can't have you telle-tailing so I need to think of the perfect spell that will keep your mouth shut" He checked his book for the perfect spell carefully reading over each one. "Hmm should I make you a toad? No knowing these idoits one of them might kiss you with 'true love first kiss' Oooo"  He did air quotes before rolling his eyes. "Maybe a rose but then someone might start plucking your petals that would bad I want you around when I win" He made a couple of tsk’ing sounds before his eyes perked up.

"I could turn you into a snowglobe, I really liked my old one back in the isle so having you would be a nice replacement" My eyes widen as I tried to move but as I stated before these veins left absolutely no room for movement.

He readied up the spell and I closed my eyes praying to be saved but as I felt completely different and tiny snowflakes falling on me it was safe to say that no one showed up to save me, no knight in shining armor, no random passersby-er. I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was giant green orbs with specks of gold in them which were Mal's eyes. 

He moved the globe away from his face and started taunting me. "Well aren't you adorable when you're all tiny and helpless" He laughed darkly.

"You won't get away with this" my voice echoed in the dome as he rolled his eyes.

"Geez it's like a broken record with you, oh well its not like it isn't fun seeing you so hopeful. it only makes me want to win more so I can crush it into oblivion"  He placed me into his school bag. "Get comfortable that globe is going to be your home for the next three days"

The constant shifting due to his walking was extremely uncomfortable but not as much as the darkness of the inside of his bag which made me look into a way out even faster and hoped that my absence will be noticed quickly but I felt like I wasn't getting out anytime soon..........

im so happy that we came here(d.s.)

request:okay hi! so i saw that you wanted some requests and I was just wondering if you could do a "hiking with Daniel" one where (i remember he talked about this one place he always went hiking in Portland, i think in the Genius video) and he takes you there for a 4th date or something and first kiss happens there and he is just so happy and shit

Today i go hiking with my boyfriend Daniel. We’ve been together for a few weeks, but these weeks were the best, even though we didnt hang out every day because he’s busy with his band, they make new music every day, they think about lyrics, about instrumental part and it takes amount of time, but when he’s free he spends his time with me and i like it.

-hi, Y/N are you ready?- Daniel asked me through the phone  -almost, is it 2pm already? -no,no, i just finished earlier- he said and chuckled -you can come over and wait for me-i said and went to the bathroom to brush my hair -okay, see you soom, sweetheart-he said and hung up

‘So, i need to get dressed and brush my hair at first’- i thought to myself and heard a knock on the door, i went to the door and saw Daniel there with flowers in his hands -Daniel i told you not to buy flowers for me-i smiled -But i wanted to, i didnt see you for so long and flowers are such a little thing that i can do for you now-he said and entered my house -Thank you-i said and walked to my room to put flowers in th water -no problem, sweetheart- he smiled and followed me to my room.

-skip some time-

-So can we go now?-Daniel asked me sitting on my bed and waiting for me to get ready -yeah, but where are we going to? -you’ll see-he smirked 

We were finally at the place where you start your hike and Daniel took my hand -let’s go?-he asked and looked at me  -sure, let’s go-ii smiled 

We’ve spent so much time going somewhere, i mean that’s the point of hikes, but i was a little bit tired, it was hot outside and i didnt have any water left , but it was beautifel there. That’s why we stopped so many times and Daniel was really annoyed with it

-Babe, you already have like thousand photos of you and nature, maybe its enough?- he sighed and took ,my phone to take one thousand first picture of me and nature -thank you- i said as he gave me my phone back and kissed his cheek -maybe you want a few more pictures?-he smiled -i thought you were annoyed with me- i teased -as long as you kiss me after every new picture i could take a thousand more pics-he chuckled  -oh- i kissed his cheek-really-  i placed more kisses on his cheek -yes- he laughed 

We walked for another 30 minutes and we were finally there, the place that i’ve dreamt to visit for a long time. Angel’s rest. It’s the best place in the world, its beautiful and peacefull. We were lucky cause there were no people and we were completely alone. Just imagine how amazing it was, a beautiful spot with my handsome boyfriend who made me so happy, everything was perfect. -Daniel, its so beautiful.-i faced him and saw him smiling at me  -im really happy you like it just as much as i like you- he said and placed his hand on my shoulder and pulled me closer to him. -yes, i do- i said without paying too much attention to him, i was admiring the view. You probably wondered how can i not pay attention to Daniel, but let me show you the view

I was enjoying that place when i noticed that Daniel was no longer there with me.  -Daniel- i called him but he didnt replied -Where are you? Then she showed up with flowers in his hands -Aww. Daniel, again?- i smiled-where did you find them -over there-he pointed at the place where he found flowers  -thank you-i looked at Daniel, he looked me in the eyes then at my lips. I became nervous, i felt like it was about to happen, that magical moment that i’ve dreamt of for a long time, since our first meet.

He put his right hand on my face and cupped it and his left hand on my waist, i put my hands around his neck, he looked at me one more time, in the eyes and then at my lips. He leaned in and when our faces were so close that our noses were touching each other’s he whispered -you’re so beautiful- and then he pressed his lips on mine, this kiss was so sweet , i didnt want it to stop, it was a perfect first kiss with a person that i really like, who likes me. A warm feeling spreaded all over my body. He pulled away breaking the kiss.

-im so happy that we came here- he said placing a kiss on my forehead -me too-i said hugging him tighter  -ugh, who’s this- he said annoyingly when heard his phone ringing  he took his phone out of his pocket and looked at the number and then at me asking me if i was okay with him answering the call, i nodded -Hi Jack, im busy now- he said looking at me and intertwined our hands -Can it wait till tomorrow- he asked, his face impression changed from happy to dissapoinred  -Okay,yeah, ill see you soon-he hung up and looked at me saddly -Im sorry baby, but we have to go, we have rehersal today, i comletely forgot about it-he said, he was upset -it is okay Dani, if you need to go then go- i reassured him   -are you sure?-he asked  -yes, i am sure, let’s go, i need to return you back to boys cause they need you- i smiled and took his hand -thank you- he smiled and kissed my cheek. 

[tru-b-blog]

It’s been a couple months since my last post, but the holiday flying kept me pretty busy. A lot of people asked me if I was sad to be working the holidays and if it was hard for me. Honestly, it wasn’t! I absolutely LOVE my job (which you will probably hear me say quite often here on my blog)!! I’ve also moved around a lot on my own since I graduated high school so this wasn’t going to be my first time away from family during the holidays. Also, with my job, I am able to fly anywhere I want on my days off. So while I wasn’t able to celebrate the holidays with family and friends on the actual days, we had our own celebrations when I could be around. I am so grateful to my family and friends who understand my job and are willing to celebrate early or late to include me.

So, without further ado, here were my holiday trips!

Thanksgiving: Sioux Falls, SD

I had a three-day trip starting November 26th, which was getting me back in NYC on the evening of Thanksgiving Day. I had a trip the next day so I wasn’t going to be able to go home even after getting back. BUT what was great about this trip, we had a full day off on the second day, a 27 hr layover! I love trips like these because I technically get paid to have a day off of flying haha.

Anyway, Sioux Falls was FREEZING!!!! It had just snowed the day we arrived. The biggest thing to do in Sioux Falls is, well, obviously, go and see the falls! But during this time of the year, they weren’t open during the day but they have lights during the evening. My crew and I really wanted to see them, but we were told we needed to drive through and we didn’t know if an uber would take us through (they probably would). However, we also were getting picked up at 330am and we wanted to get enough sleep (which is extremely important as a flight attendant, we really LOVE our sleep).

During the day, I walked around the small town and found some fun little shops on Main St. They have lights and decorations around town which was perfect for entering the holiday season (I don’t know about you, but Christmas music is not allowed for me until after Thanksgiving).  Below is a picture of one of their trees decorated with ornaments. The statues are a little hard to see but the one in front of the tree reads: “The Angel of Contemplation”. There were these little statues and sculptures all throughout Main St.

If you find yourself in Sioux Falls, Zandbroz is a must! It’s a cute shop with a bunch of little knick-knacks. Books, toys, kitchen items, gifts. I actually got a few Christmas gifts for people here. If I had more room in my suitcase, I probably would have boughten a lot more!

I found this coffee shop that had a very rustic feel. I love the round wood table tops and their overall atmosphere was relaxing. I ended up getting a hot chocolate (because, well, it’s cold and hot cocoa sounds great during the holidays!) I sat and read for a little bit while enjoying my hot cocoa in an actual mug rather than a paper to-go cup (though I did get a pour-over coffee to go for my walk back to the hotel). On my walk back, I ran into the “i love you” sign on the rooftop of a building. I don’t even know what this building was, but I liked the sign, so, enjoy. 🙂

                San Antonio, TX

I had a layover in San Antonio a couple days after Thanksgiving. They had just decorated the riverwalk and their lights are lit every night! While it’s very crowded on the riverwalk, the lights are beautiful. The weather is still nice enough where you don’t really need a heavy jacket and the water just adds an extra element. Phone pics don’t always give the best quality, especially at night, but here’s what I got!

Riverwalk lights

Boat rides on the river

Cool church on the walk

  CHRISTMASTIME!!!! 

ICE! at Gaylord Rockies Resort

I LOVE Christmas! It’s my favorite second holiday after July 4th (I really, REALLY like fireworks). In December, I took my days off to go to Denver and Fort Worth to spend time with family and continue traditions.

If you’re in Denver during the holidays, the Gaylord Rockies Resort is a MUST!! They have so many different activities to do there for Christmas. My boyfriend and I took his nephew to ICE! which is a Christmas story carved into 2 MILLION POUNDS of ice!!!! That’s a lot of ice. This year, they did Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer which is my favorite Christmas movie!! When you first enter, they give you parkas because they keep the building at -3 degrees to keep the ice from melting! Seriously, one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!

They also have a walkway with lights everywhere that really is beautiful!

27th Annual Christmas Cookie Baking with Grama

Every year, for as long as I can remember, the grandkids have always made homemade Christmas cookies with my grama Overman. We usually try to make them closer to Christmas, but this year we made them in the first week so that I could be there in person rather than over skype (which we have done in the past). This is something very special for me and is probably my favorite tradition. I love being with my cousins and making a mess (sorry grama) and it’s always fun to decorate with homemade frosting. The recipe for the cookies and the frosting was passed down from my grama’s grandmother which makes it all the more special.

NYC!!

The holidays are a big deal in NYC. . . duh! It was extremely hectic when I went, so I didn’t get a lot of pics, but it’s still really cool!

Cartier

Rockefeller Tree!

HOME!!! 

I was able to get about a week off before Christmas to be with my family and catch up with some friends. Even though I wasn’t home for actual Christmas day, we celebrated our own Christmas and it was just as wonderful!

Six Flags Christmas

Brunch with my TX Girls

Christmas Dinner with the fam!

  I was blessed with a long Denver layover on Christmas Eve. My boyfriend and I spent the first half of the day with my family in Loveland and the second half with his family in Thornton. I could not have asked for a better way to spend Christmas Eve while technically working. I actually don’t have any pictures from this day because I thoroughly enjoyed being in the moment.

  I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving and Christmas! Thank you to the passengers who really were wonderful on these days (you can continue that on a regular basis you know. We appreciate it all year round, not just on these days lol).

  Stay tuned in the new year. . . my friends and I are conquering Times Square for New Year’s Eve!!!!!!!!

Anyone Home?

It’s been a few days since I’ve posted and those days have been delightful.  Just around-the-house-and-gardens delightful, nothing spectacular, but I do love ordinary days.  The first wave of sunflowers opened up, and that always makes things cheerful.

The bees love them and I love having bees around.  Mickey snapped these three pics ~

Isn’t that just July in a nutshell?   Speaking of July, we kept it pretty quiet around here on the 4th.  Nashville boasts the biggest fireworks display in the nation  and it’s quite a spectacle.  The symphony plays and the sky over the city lights up for a solid 45 minutes.  But we’re in that stage of life where the traffic and crowds are enough of a deterrent to keep us at home.  Besides, our neighborhood kooks have been lighting up Tinnell Valley for a week and didn’t disappoint on the 4th.   Mt. Juliet does a nice display and you can sit on just about any hill and enjoy it.  Here’s a shot that the mister snapped with his drone.  

This was my contribution to the festivities.  It was all I could muster.

The mister grilled brats (how American!), we added potato salad and broccoli salad, and watermelon of course.

Oh, and because he’s got a sweet tooth I made cupcakes.  After all, every holiday is about the eatin’, right?  ‘Merica!

This morning it’s stormy and wet.  Doesn’t look like I’ll be trimming the shaggy shrubs by the porch today. Oh, shucks.  Yes, that’s sarcasm.

  They look awful. It’s an embarrassment. But for the last month, I swear, every time I plan to tidy them up the sky opens and dumps another couple inches of rain.  It’s like the universe just doesn’t want me to tame those shrubs.  Gotta’ listen to the universe when it sends you a message, right?  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it,  which is why you’ll find me with my nose in a book on this rainy day.  Not even sorry about that.    Hope you had a happy and safe 4th and that the 5th is turning out just the way you like it.  If it’s not, then grab a little bit of happy for yourself. XOXO
