The Littlest Wayne: Fist Bumps
Masterlist is Here!
Tumblr media
"This is stupid."
"Shut up, you're just mad you won't get picked."
Tim kicks Damian in the shin, who retaliates by kicking him back much, much harder in the ankle. Tim cries out, about to start a fight, but one stern look from Alfred settles them both down. They continue to sit beside each other without fuss, and soon everyone is all neatly lined in a row while Hal uses his ring to keep you safely suspended in a bubble, playing with a little rattle.
"Alright," Dick says excitedly, "we're going over the rules one more time! No jingling any shiny objects for Flitty to chase after, no getting out of line to get closer to them, and Bruce, no bare skin! We're gonna have Hal set them down and see who they come to first."
"This isn't gonna go the way you think it's gonna go," Bruce says, endlessly amused. "Please, none of you get your feelings hurt."
"Nobody's gonna start cryin', relax," Jason says, lounging on the floor between Damian and Hal. "Kay, we ready?"
A chorus of agreement follows, and Hal gently lowers you to the floor. They all immediately call your name, or variations of your nickname, waving their hands and patting their laps to get you to come to them. Your eyes widen, startled by the sudden rush of noise, and turn your head to assess everyone across the room.
You lock on to the man you want, the binky in your mouth bopping up and down excitedly, and you start speedily crawling to Jason.
"I KNOW that's fuckin' right!" He yells, scooping you into his arms and gently tossing you in the air a couple inches, then peppering your face with kisses. "I'm the favorite you little freaks. Kiss my ass."
"Okay, whatever, we knew that already," Dick says, "now it's time to see who the second favorite is. Put them down and go away so we can play again."
"Be nice to your brother," Bruce says. Dick flicks Bruce in the ear and he scowls. "Ow. Be nice to me."
"Fine. Gotta know who my competition is for the number one spot in Mousey's heart, even if I'm winning by a landslide." Jason carries you across the room and sets you back down. "You stay for a sec, kay? Pound it." He picks up your chubby arm and makes you give him a fist bump, then walks away from you.
Before they can even start a second round of the game, you're shuffling after him again. Christ, it's adorable.
"It's because they can still see you, Todd," Damian says, scooping you up to put back in starting position. "Duck behind the couch."
Jason rolls his eyes but complies, bending down until he's out of sight. When the rest of the family calls for you again, you shuffle forward like you're going to crawl to Hal, but you veer past him and around to the back of the couch to get to Jason again.
"Oh my god, they've developed object permanence already," Tim says. Jason's triumphant laughter fills the room as he lifts you up to give you more kisses. His endless delight and your happy squealing softens the blow to everyone else's egos.
"This game sucks anyway," Dick mumbles, crossing his arms in defeat. "What idiot even came up with it in the first place..."
--
"You ask."
"Uh, no? You ask? I don't care."
"Yeah but he tolerates your questions. I don't wanna get my jaw blown off."
"Then don't ask, dumbass. It's so easy."
Jason clears his throat, causing the two goons to stiffen up and turn to face him. One of them looks upset that he was caught unaware, and the other looks one wrong move away from pissing himself.
"Hi, boss," they both greet.
"Whatcha talkin' about?" Jason asks, taking a half-step closer. "Cause last I checked, I sent you both over here to do quality control on our newest drug shipment. And I'm not seeing a lot of that gettin' done."
He turns to the more frightened man. If he didn't have his helmet on, he would've sneered at him.
"So what's the hold up? Need me to sew some mouths shut? Hmm? Want me t'cut out your fuckin' tongue? That'll motivate you real fast, I bet."
"We'll get right on it, boss," the other, clearly smarter, henchman states. "We were just. Uh. Wondering why there's... why there's a baby strapped to your chest."
Jason looks down at you. You stare right back at him, making a soft cooing noise around your Red Hood-themed binky, and reach up for his mask. He gently takes your hand instead, feeling your tiny fingers curl around the leather of his gloved pointer. He's smiling sweetly at you, despite no one being able to see it.
"This is M," he says by way of an answer. "Won't be an everyday occurrence — couldn't find another babysitter so I assured the dad I'd keep 'em safe for the night."
He doesn't mention that your dad is also his dad, and that when Jason tried to leave to do his vigilante work, you screamed the house down and would only calm down in his arms, therefore he had no choice. So here you are, strapped to his chest in a onesie padded with kevlar and vital-tracking tech, while your favorite brother carries your diapers and formula around in the same duffel he stashes his guns.
And because you're his favorite, too, he secretly hopes you throw more fits so he gets to hoard you all to himself again. Taking a few minutes to tickle your tummy or gently rock you in his arms stops him from losing his patience and blowing out the brains of several subordinates tonight — which his men clearly catch onto, because they all start telling him how nice it is to see such a cute and perfect and pleasant, life-saving baby hanging around.
Fuck yeah it's nice. S'cause you're the coolest baby ever. Jason gently makes you fist bump him.
--
"AHHH!"
Jason is out of his chair and bolting across the Manor before his brain fully registers your screaming through the baby monitor. There's surprised exclamations and footfalls not far from him as his thunderous steps stir up a commotion, but he doesn't care about that.
There are very few times in his life when he's moved this fast. Large, expansive rooms fly by him in a blur of color. He takes the stairs six at a time. If a door he needs to get through is closed, he's breaking it down with a well-placed hit with his shoulder and moving on.
When he gets to your room, he stops to yank the door open because he doesn't know if you're near it, and darts inside with a sharp shout of your name.
"What's wrong!?" He pants, zeroing in on you immediately. You've rushed into your wardrobe and climbed inside it, red-faced and crying as a crow flaps haphazardly around the bedroom. The shattered glass on the floor gives him the missing context, and he snatches the bird out of the air with more force than necessary while the adrenaline spike is still scrambling his nervous system.
Bruce is the second person to rush into your room just moments after, crouching by your hiding spot with furrowed brows and a soft, slightly winded voice.
"Are you hurt?" He asks. You whimper but shake your head, fat tears rolling down your little cheeks, and lift your hands. Bruce picks you up without hesitation and stands up.
"Jaylad?" He says, still in that gentle tone. "You alright?"
Jason doesn't answer. He's not alright, not really. The rage he'd built up thinking someone was in here hurting you is still burning through his veins, and with no outlet for it, he's struggling a bit.
Bruce doesn't take offense to his lack of response. He just offers you a small, reassuring smile and bounces you a bit in his arms.
"Let's go find Grandpa and snuggle up with some hot chocolate," he murmurs. "Jay-Jay will hang back and make sure your bedroom is safe for you."
"No!" You sob, leaning around your father's broad shoulders to reach for Jason. "Want Jay-Jay!"
"You can spend time with him in a little while, Mouse," Bruce says, starting to carry you out of the room. Your protests get louder and more frantic, pushing against him to no avail.
"Want Jay!" You repeat, sobbing openly. "Jay-Jay! Want, p'ease!! Jay-Jay!"
"Bruce," Jason utters through grit teeth. His father stops, only a few steps down the hallway, and turns back to him. "It's fine. I'll take 'em, you clean up the mess."
"...are you sure?" Bruce frowns, visibly cautious. He looks down at the bird still flapping helplessly as Jason holds it by the neck, firmer than strictly necessary.
Jason takes a step towards the broken window and tosses the crow out. After a second of frantic flapping, it straightens itself out and flies away with panicked sqawking.
He turns to you and holds out his arms. They're only trembling a little bit, but the edges of his vision are still tinged with green. Bruce hesitates to pass you over.
"I've got it," Jason murmurs, "I'm calm enough. Gimme my fuckin' sibling before you piss me off worse, B."
Bruce nods slowly. He brings you back into the room and hands you off to Jason. Your arms circle his neck and cling on tight, and you bury your face in his chest as you cry. It breaks his heart that you had such a bad scare. He can see the half-completed Lego build you were playing with on the floor in front of the window and hopes Bruce can get all the glass shards out between the bricks and carpet.
Jason carries you out of your bedroom and down the corridor to his. He leaves his door cracked open and flicks on lights as he goes, then brings you to the en-suite bathroom.
"Okay, Mousey," he mumbles, trying to set you on the sink's vanity. You clutch him tighter and whimper, and it drives a spear right through his chest. "Kid, I'm not goin' nowhere. Jay-Jay's right here, I just wanna make sure there's no glass on you."
A little more prodding and the compromise of you holding one of his hands gets you to relent. You sit miserably on the counter as your sobs slowly die down, and Jason tediously checks your hair and clothes for any bits of glass that may have landed on you when the crow crashed into the window. The slow, repetitive motions help quiet the last of his anger until he's just tired and concerned for you. He finds a couple tiny pieces, but your skin is unblemished and when he asks if you're hurt, you shake your head, which then calms him entirely.
"Alright, great job," he murmurs. "Come here, we'll go bother Alfie t'give us an icecream sammy before dinner and then cuddle in the main living room. Good plan?"
You sniffle, wiping the last of your tears away. Your cheeks are flushed and puffy. "Yeah, good pwan..."
Jason kisses the top of your head and offers you his fist. You gently bump yours against his, then lift your arms again to be picked back up. He obliges, refusing to put you back down for the rest of the day. When it's time for bed, you don't wanna go back into your room, so he spends the evening reading his current novel with a dim book light while you snooze away on his chest.

Tumblr media
He's livid. Jason's got a hole in his leg and he can't run away from the rival gang leader pointing a gun at his head, and he's fucking livid.
"My first death was way cooler," he mutters. "Got blown up and everything."
"What the fuck are you saying?" The other man scowls. "I never could understand you through that thick-ass helmet."
"I'm saying, if you're gonna go down as the guy that killed the Red Hood, at least make the execution something fuckin' noteworthy," Jason rants, the pain making him bitchier than usual. He waves his hands for emphasis, pointing at the gunman much like a mother scolding her child. "Ohh I shot him and watched his brain splatter everywhere! So has every single marksman ever. I'm worth more than a bullet in an alleyway. The fuck do I look like, Bruce Wayne's folks?"
"Whoa, man," the shooter says, lifting his free hand to scratch the back of his head. "Let me get this straight. You're not mad I'm gonna kill you. You're that mad I'm not gonna kill you...in a cooler way?"
"Excellent listening ears, bucko! Gold star!" Jason coos, clapping. "Immolation, decapitation, tossin' me in an acid pit — fuck me, I'll take a stab wound over a bullet! D'you know how skilled you gotta be to get close enough to stab Red Hood to death!? If not for me, do somethin' that'll raise your own paltry street cred, shit. You're so fucking boring."
The man doesn't get another chance to weigh his options. The darkness of the alleyway pounces on him, sucking him into the void while he shrieks like an animal. Jason slumps against the wall and watches the shapeless darkness warp and twist, the gun abandoned on the ground in the gunman's initial panic. He feels his heart rate slow when you step out after a minute, wearing a thick jacket over your pajamas and a domino mask over your eyes as you hurry towards him. A flash of irritation makes him scowl as he realizes one of the others woke you up for this, when you aren't even a vigilante to begin with. The culprit's gonna get their ass beat as soon as he recovers enough to track them down.
"Okay," you stammer, kneeling next to him on the ground with a first aid kit. "Okay okay okay...Alf — umm, Agent A? I'm here, what do I do?"
"Remain calm, Flittermouse. All will be well," Alfred soothes you over the comms. Jason feels the adrenaline steadily exiting his body now that he's registered that he's safe. Now, it's a fight to stay conscious so you don't freak out even more than you're currently doing. He's so proud of you for coming out here despite the blatant fear.
Your hands shake as you pop the kit open and pull out the field tourniquet. Alfred instructs you on how to set it up, and Jason gently adjusts it when you wrap it a little too close to the bullet wound in his thigh. He grits his teeth as you tighten it, refusing to make a peep, and gives you a quick thumbs up when you tie it off.
"Okay, I stopped the bleeding. Do I bring him home, now?" You ask.
"As long as he has no other injuries, the medical bay is ready for you to transport him back to the cave."
"M'good, Mousey," Jason says, lifting his fist. "Sorry you had to come rescue your cool big bro. S'not your job."
"I was the one who could get here the fastest," you reply. After a moment's hesitation, you bump his fist with your own. "You're gonna be okay."
"M'gonna be okay," he echoes, knowing you need that confirmation. "Saved my life, kid. I'll do all your chores for the next week."
That gets a wet laugh out of you. You hug Jason tight and the shadows of the alley pool underneath your bodies. Jason closes his eyes and hugs you back, a steady anchor in the free-falling sensation entering your darkness gives him.
"My heroics are only worth a week of chores?"
"S'better than the rest get," he says. "They get one chore. Not even a whole day, just one chore."
You bury your face in his shoulder as the void swallows you and him up.
"You're my favorite, too, Jay-Jay," you mumble. Jason smiles as he loses the battle for consciousness.
--
"Good afternoon; welcome to Truce Juice. Would you like a moment with a menu or are you ready to order?"
Jason leans his hip against the counter and takes a menu off the small, laminated stack you've got sitting there, glancing over the options. Behind the helmet, he smiles as he remembers all the late nights you pulled him and your other brothers into the kitchen to taste test these drinks and snacks, desperate to make things that would appeal to many people. He remembers how proud you were to graduate from your culinary courses and the victory cry you let out when you found insurance willing to cover the building.
You smile warmly at him, waiting patiently for him to choose something off the menu for the first time in your brand new business.
"Black coffee," he says, voice warped by the modulator in the helmet, "two sugars."
"What size?" You ask, tapping it into the screen in front of you.
"Large. And a turkey panini, with avocado and pesto."
"Toasted?"
"What other fuckin' way would anybody get a panini?" He muses aloud. To strangers, he would sound angry, but you can tell he's genuinely asking. You just shrug and keep the soft smile on your face.
"You'd be surprised. Your total's on the screen; will that be cash or card?"
Jason reaches a gloved hand down. It glides past the pistol strapped to his thigh, eliciting nervous gasps from bystanders in the cafe, and into the pocket underneath, drawing out a plain, tri-fold wallet. He pulls out two hundred-dollar bills and huffs at you to keep the change, then saunters over to the pick-up counter to wait.
He crosses his arms and watches you scuttle around behind the counter, genuinely happy to make food and drinks for anybody that comes in. So far, you're uninjured and you've been able to stop any rising conflicts in seconds, which he's endlessly thankful for.
When his order is ready, you hand it to him with another bright smile.
"Alright, mister Hood, here you go. Have a great day!"
Jason nods, about to turn away, when he sees you hold your fist out in his periphery.
He grins, heart fit to burst, and bumps it back.

So about that post of Simons gf that's super kind. what if she's petty with her kindness. one time me and my mom got in fight and that same day she complained about how many house plants she had. so i bought her a miniature rose bush (roses being a hard plant to take care of) as make up gift. I've also made other people their coffee wrong, bought unbalanced pens, gave there cats cat nip, given their children obnoxiously loud toys, etc.
OOOH ANON, I LOVE THISS-
Like- just because reader is sweet, that doesn't mean being a pushover. You have class, and your own way of handling assholes properly.
I imagine Simon would think he needed to be the one who protect you, seeing you're all sunshine and rainbow, always so nice and kind- and he just didn't want anyone to take advantage of you, you know?
But then he realized that you're actually not a damsel in distress.
The first time he saw it, was at a neighbor's baby shower..
"You've been with him for what? 3 years now- and still no ring?" Simon glanced at you who simply smiled in response.
He recognized that voice, Stella was her name or something. She was one of those people who always wanted attention, bragging about every little thing while also dragging people down just so she could feel better about herself.
Simon had to hold back from rolling his eyes when she previously arrived. Wearing matching designer clothes with her five-year-old son, Aiden. Which was a waste of money in his opinion, the little fella will grow out of them in a short time after all.
"I mean.. come on, you're not getting any younger.. better make it official soon before you get expired- he might not be attracted to you anymore then" Before you could respond to the previous jab, Stella continued talking. You could see why she would ask something like that, it was just how she was like after all. You and Simon have reasons, but it was really none of her business. And you couldn't exactly explain to her that your boyfriend is legally dead so you couldn't marry him properly.
Simon wasn't even listening to the other lads around him anymore- not that he did in the first place. Looking at you directly from his spot, he observed the others who interact with you. You were surrounded by the other moms from the neighborhood, yet none of them said anything against Stella.
He saw you giggled and brushed off Stella's words way too casually like it didn't affect you, or maybe you didn't get that she was mocking you- Simon wasn't sure.
"It's time to go, luv" His gruff voice stopped their conversation as he approached you. He could feel their eyes on him, some of them not hiding the fact that they found him attractive from how they looked up at him with a slight flush on their cheeks. He wondered how you were comfortable being around them at all, he never spent more than a few words with them and already felt like committing murder.
Well.. whatever, you won't be meeting them again soon since you two were planning to move away.
You looked up at him with those big innocent eyes and pouted "But-". "It's late" he added, putting his hand on your hip and pulling you close to make a statement at the others who still shamelessly gawked at him.
Seeing that look in his eyes- the one that means he accepted no rejection, you sighed. "Alright, let me say my goodbye" You said before turning back to them.
Simon simply grunted and waited. And when he thought you were ready to go, he raised an eyebrow when you instead walked over to the kids who were busy playing. You told them about you moving out from the neighborhood and the kids didn't seem to like that, you were their favorite after all.
"I have something for you guys to remember me by.." You chirped. Immediately, the kids looked at you with eagerness as you rummaged through your tote bag.
The side of his lips lifted under his mask when he saw you pulling out mini harmonicas. Before you could say anything more, a brat snatched one out of your hands. That was Aiden, Stella's spoiled boy. Which means it would be hard for the mom to get the noisy thing from him.
A cute little giggle escaped your lips as you watched the boy immediately blew on the harmonica messily, spraying spit everywhere.
After you made sure every kids got one, you stood up and hold his hand before skipping away with him in tow. Cacophony of moms frustrated yelling, children's laugh, and loud harmonicas left behind.
So you had planned your revenge all along, huh? Seems like you're not a total angel like he thought you were.
...
The second time is when he visited you at work. While he provided you enough for you to stay home and do nothing, you still insisted on having your own cafe. Saying that it had been your dream since you were little. And how can he say no when you look at him with those puppy eyes?
And while you do have people working for you, you still helped around from time to time. "It's the best part about having a cafe" you said to him that one time.
He was sitting at a table close enough to observe you working in that cute little uniform you designed yourself for the cafe when a guy walked in. His appearance screamed 'douche', the kind of guy who would talk about how many body counts is too many for a woman in a podcast.
Despite that, you greeted him cheerfully like you do with every other costumers. Even when he told you to write 'daddy' on the cup after you asked for a name, a disgusting smirk on his lips.
Meaning you would need to yell out that word to call for him when the order was ready.
And while Simon was fuming inside, you were calm. Humming along with the music playing from the speaker as you prepared the coffee.
But, instead of calling for the guy yourself, you turn to one of your employees. His name was Shane, written on the name tag clipped to his uniform. He was a big guy, not any taller than your boyfriend but still. A simple man who will be pleased spending the night scarfing down pizzas and beers. Now, Shane was known for many things, one of them is being very gay, and he was totally not shy about it.
You smiled before turning away to take the next order, but also secretly paying attention to what was going to happen next.
"Daddy..!" Shane shamelessly sing-sung the word loudly and even when Simon expected it already, he still choked on his tea. He also saw you biting down your lip to prevent yourself from laughing.
Shane went on for a while until the whole cafe fell silent except for the music playing that didn't fit the situation at all, which made it more hilarious.
'Daddy' finally walked over to get his order. Red in the face and looking very pissed. He was not stupid enough to cause a scene however, and simply accepted his cup without so much as a thank you. And of course Shane added the cherry on top by throwing a flirty wink.
And when you noticed the way he glanced at you after taking a sip of his coffee, tasting regular milk instead of almond- knowing full well he told you before that he was lactose intolerant. You simply gave him that sweet smile of yours, a cheerful "Thank you, please come back again..!" Thrown his way like how it always is whenever a costumer was leaving.
Simon chuckled under his breath and shook his head. Feeling proud (and maybe a bit scared) of his pretty bird being cruel in her own ways.
So when he saw you sighing after an argument on the phone with your mom, he didn't question it when you went ahead and buy a make up gift for her.

Is It Love?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
.ᐟ.ᐟ pairing – brother best friend riki! x fem! reader
.ᐟ.ᐟ synopsis – y/n had started her first year in uni and spent a lot of her time burying her head in books not caring much about having her first kiss till her friends teased her for being "boring." Riki catches her crying in her room and decides to change what her friends think. But can they keep denying the tension between them?
.ᐟ.ᐟ wordcount – 1k >
.ᐟ.ᐟ warnings – fluff, teeny tiny suggestive, (let me know if I missed anything)
NOW PLAYING; Is It Love? Sik-K (PROD. GXXD) (FT. MOON) ▶︎•၊၊||၊|။||||။၊|။•
Tumblr media
Dragging your weight into the house, you heard the muffled screams of Jake and Riki gaming in the living room. Letting out a sigh you try to pass by them without saying a word, which was unusual of you. Normally, you would scold them for being loud or join them for a round to kill time.
"LESS GAURR" Jake jumped victoriously after beating Riki in a match despite losing all the other ones. "I just went easy on you," Riki retorted with a scoff but he couldn't hide his smile at how cute his hyung was being, turning his head, he noticed you with your shoulder all slumped up and your head held down as you took off your shoes. Puzzled, he decided to stay quiet for now.
"Since I won FAIR AND SQUARE" Jake empathizes, interrupting his train of thought, "I'll go buy snacks from the mart to celebrate, you down?"
"I'll just stay here, can't be caught lacking again," he jokes playfully but Jake just gave him a stare and shrugged his shoulders, "fine but I'm not getting you snacks," he told him in a playful tone as he grabbed his jacket to head out.
Noticing the commotion died down a bit downstairs after a bit you sighed. Sitting at your bed curled up in defeat, everyone in class was gossiping about who already had their first kiss or even first time, meanwhile you had neither and got laughed at for saying you just never had the time to think of that stuff.
"Of course, our y/n is too busy making out with her books instead." Though you know they were only joking, it didn't make it sting less that people always thought of you as some sort of a buzz kill.
Without realizing tears were streaming down your face. Today just wasn't your day, having woken up in a cranky mood, not doing as well as you thought on your test, and your friends teasing you. Too wrapped up in your thoughts, you hear a knock on the door that brings you back to reality.
"W-what is it" you tried to sound firm and unbothered but your voice betrayed you. "Are you okay, squirt?" Hearing Riki's lighthearted voice at the end of the door made your face turn pink.
Quietly opening the door for him after wiping your tears. Your red nose and eyes gave you away. "Oh did the sun rise and flowers finally bloom?" He joked as you opened the door. Glaring at him, "Nishimura I'm not in the mood, what do you want?"
Not caring, he invited himself in your room, going straight to your bed to lay his upper body, prompting his arms behind his head, he eyes you. "Why were you crying?" His eyes staring into your soul, turning to gaze at the floor you respond, "none of your business" you quietly went to sit at the bed's edge.
"Did anyone bother you?" He suddenly got up from his position to look at you properly, "No." He wasn't buying your facade.
"Look at me, y/n." His strict yet caring tone made it impossible for you to ignore him further.
Looking up at him like he requested, he saw tears slowly falling down your rosy cheeks. His mind and heart racing, he knew you didn't like crying in front of people. Opening his arms, you looked at him feeling vulnerable but thankful he isn't teasing you right now like he usually does. Wrapping your arms around his slim waist, your face hidden in his chest.
His heart running a mile as he thought he would die seeing you like this. Carefully using his right hand to pat your head, he softly asks, "do you wanna talk about it?" His warm breath hitting your ears.
"I woke up late, didn't do well on my quiz, and my friends laughed at me for not having my first kiss yet," you said through tears, your voice slightly muffled by his hoodie, "what was last part?" He heard you clearly but wanted you to face him and say it. Looking up at him with your lashes wet and lips red from biting them. If his heart didn't explode later, it surely did now. "I got teased for not having my first kiss and got called a buzz kill for it." Your wobbly tone making his heart ache.
His hands carefully move to cradle your face, squishing your cheeks slightly making your lips form into a cute pout. "You're not a buzz kill, they are just bitter they aren't cute nerds," slapping his chest slightly, "I'm being serious!" "Who said I wasn't?" He look down at you with a smirk, not missing the way your gaze wavered. "I mean it's not my fault I don't know how to kiss-" the words leaving your lips before you could stop them.
"I can teach you," Riki interrupts, trying to sound nonchalant but his ears reddened betraying his display of confidence. "Stop messing around Nishimura" you pointed at him with your eyebrows scrunched up in disbelief. "I'm not messing around," slowly taking your hand from his face and holding it, he leans a little closer to test the waters, he looked straight into your eyes with your noses soon touching.
You closed your eyes, heart almost bursting. Unknowingly, your hand that held Riki's was digging at his skin, leaving marks. "I need a verbal answer, angel" the nickname rolling off his tongue like honey making you dizzy. "Ok," you replied looking at him with your big eyes and long lashes.
Smiling at you softly, "just follow my lead." He whispers softly before breaking that sacred wall between you two that he built in hopes he can bury his true feelings.
He started off slow and gentle, making sure you were comfortable, pulling away from the kiss to catch your breath, he looked at you with eyes that held so much love you couldn't help but take initiative this time, kissing him just how he showed you. Your hands eventually tug on his hair making him gasp, you took this opportunity to use your tongue, catching him off guard but he held your waist tighter, pulling your body impossibly closer.
The kiss filled with passion and years of unspoken feelings between you both, after a while, he breaks the kiss. His lips gently caressing your jawline before looking at you with sincerity, "I love you, y/n and I don't want to share you with anyone so don't go showing off your new skills to anyone else."
Looking at him in disbelief, you buried your face in his neck, embarrassed before responding, "I love you too, dummy." Smiling ear to ear at your answer, he rocked your body side to side, "your brother is going to shoot me for this," he joked, making you giggle.
Nishimura realized that he could no longer deny that this was his favorite sound and he wouldn't trade the world for you.
No longer deciding to bury your feelings for one another, you both stayed contently in each other's arm for a little longer.
So, is it love?

I have so many things to say
"I have it scheduled for December," she snapped. "Six weeks from now. It's not perfect yet, and you know how much I like perfection."
I get Cat, but I think if she knew the reason she would not mind at all 🤭
"I absolutely refuse to mention this to Bickel," Cat whispered, reminding you she was at work while you were in your living room. "You can talk to him about it yourself, but I will not. Because I value my relationship with my commanding officer." "I'll take care of Bickel. He loves it when we're ahead of schedule," you replied, biting your lip as you realized you would very much need his permission to push your plan forward. And you weren't sure you could get it.
No worries about Bickel, BG and Bickel are like this🤞🏻
His thick arm was flung across the spot where your body belonged, and you could see his fingers twitching along the bedding like he was searching for you. 
🥺🥺🥺
Your eyes blinked slowly before closing, and you realized you were exhausted, too. The adrenaline that had filled you when you were in Bradley's office was drained now. Your belly was full from lunch, and Bradley was so warm. Even the baby had settled into a gentle squirming pattern like she knew you needed a break.
Glad the whole family can a catch a break and much needed nap finally 🙏🏻
"How am I supposed to finish the story when you keep distracting me? Now we'll never know if the silly goose finds his friends, and that's your fault, Nugget."
But we need to know if the silly goose finds his friends!!
Rose giggled more, and Bradley tossed the book aside to give her kisses while you watched from the end of the hallway. He was the most perfect father, and you should have never doubted him. You wanted to apologize a million more times, but when his eyes met yours, you simply said, "I love you, Roo."
Good god I'm so glad they are all back together as a happy family 🥰
"She probably has been," you cooed, easing yourself down onto the floor next to her. She promptly started crying hysterically. "She associates you with fun. I think she only associates me with food," you said, pulling your shirt over your head. "That's not true," Bradley insisted, staring openly at your breasts which were starting to leak. "You're so much more than a perfect rack."
And he would know 🤭
"Rosie and I took care of it. You needed to sleep, so we went to Costco. Did you know they give you twice the number of free samples if you take the cutest baby in the world?"
I feel like Rooster could get everything with Rose strapped to his chest 😅
As soon as his big hand circled her back, you heard her burp. It always took you twice as long. This was also the first night in weeks Bradley was home at this early, and you felt tears prickle your eyes as he walked around singing to Rose about the silly goose and his friends before vanishing into the nursery. It didn't take him long to return empty handed, and when he did, you were crying on the couch.
He is really good at this dad thing 🥹
"Are you too tired to finish the story?" he whispered. "You're going to leave me on a silly goose cliffhanger?" He swore she nodded. She probably did, she was so fucking smart. She could roll over and crawl, and soon she'd be talking and walking around. 
I'm sure she did, wanted to make sure her dad would read without her 🤭
He dropped to his knees in front of you. "What's wrong?" "Nothing," you whispered, shaking your head. "I'm just happy you're home tonight."
It's the simple thing 🥹
"No. It's not. None of this is fair to you, and I'm not even talking about Indigo right now. You need me helping more at home, and I haven't been. I took this new position so I could be here more and be deployed less, but I fucked it up. I'm thinking about asking Mav to pull me."
I love takes he takes responsibility and really actions to change 🫡
You're so sexy. But that's her fucking problem at the end of the day, not yours. And I won't let her make it ours."
This just cracked me up 😅🤭
Bradley closed his eyes as you kissed his nose and his cheeks. "I just want you to be happy," he whispered. "I'll do whatever I can to make my family happy." When you said, "You already reported her, right?" he nodded. "That makes me happy. And if you come home on time more often, that will make me happy, too."
Makes me happy too 🥰
You hummed and nodded. "Let me make sure I don't piss Bickel off tomorrow before I agree to that. I don't want to request time off with my tail between my legs." Bradley raised one eyebrow. "I'm scared to know what you need to talk about that could make him upset." "The less you know, the better."
Hahaha I love BGs mischievous side
Bradley grunted. "Each Nugget gets to read my personalized thoughts on parenthood when they're older."
🥹🥹🥹
You looked taken aback as you pulled your hand away from his body and sat up. Bradley groaned, eyes raking all over you as his cock tented the bedding. "I was going to put a bra on before I fall asleep. It just felt nice to take a break for a few minutes. Is it bothering you? I'll put it on now." You were pouting, and he was sweating as you started to climb out of bed. "Jesus Christ, Sweetheart. Come back," he begged, wrapping his fingers around your wrist. "You look so fucking hot, I can't focus on anything."
He is almost drooling I just know 🤭
Your laughter filled his ears, and colors erupted behind his eyelids as you worked your hand down to his balls. "You really never stopped wanting me?" "I've wanted you nonstop since the moment I first saw you," he whined, and then your lips wrapped around his cock. Bradley's eyes flew open, watching you give him head, but after a minute of pleasure, he was reaching for you. "I won't last another minute." You smirked and licked him from balls to tip. "It makes me feel good knowing you can't stop looking at my body." He forced his gaze from your nipples to your face. "And it will make me feel good to swallow your cum before letting you suck on my tits."
🤭😮‍💨🥵
You couldn't stop smiling the next morning as Bradley kissed your cheek while you tried to put your contacts in. "Can I have a little space, Roo?" you asked sweetly. "No," he whispered, crowding in closer. "I can't stop touching you." "If you let me get ready for work, I'll blow you again tonight. He took an immediate step away, hands up in surrender. "By all means, have as much space as you need, Sweetheart. I'll get Rose up and let her crawl around with Tramp."
Hahah i cant with him 😂
After you brushed your teeth, you went to the closet. The maternity tent taunted you from the back corner, but you decided to squeeze into your regular uniform. "You'll have your day soon enough," you whispered. But your mind was already focused on work.
BG to the tent:
Tumblr media
"I want to have lunch with you in the cafeteria today." Your smile grew as Bradley's rough fingers tangled with yours. "That sounds nice. Not sure what time I'll be able to get away though." "Text me. Whenever you're free, I'll make it work."
I juat love simp Bradley
He was kind and patient, and as soon as you got into it, you weren't nervous at all. "How do you feel about testing our code on some grounded Super Hornets ahead of schedule?" Kicking the project off early could actually be beneficial, and you knew it. It was a pretty easy sell. "It could give us a little more time to work out any kinks before the end of the year." Bickel leaned back in his seat. "I'm not sure Lieutenant Commander Coleman is finished with the preliminaries." "Oh, she is," you told him with a smile. "She's way ahead of schedule, because she's brilliant."
The way she sells it and at the same time gets some good points in for Cat is chefs kiss👏🏻
Your heart was racing. It was the moment of truth. This might not work out at all. "Do I need to choose randomly?" Bickel shook his head. "Choose whichever you want. But if you ground your own husband, that's on you. I will not bail you out of that argument."
This is going perfectly according to plan
Tumblr media
"Who's Lieutenant Jeffries? And why did you go directly her them?" Cat asked as you casually went back to her lines of code to start double checking everything. "Oh, she's been trying to fuck Bradley for over a month." "What?" Cat screeched, jumping out of her seat. "What's going on?!"
Oh I'm so excited for Cats reaction hehe
You waved your hand dismissively. "She's a young pilot training under him, and apparently she likes getting sexy, older officers to sleep with her. Nothing's going on, much to her displeasure." "Well of course nothing's going on!" Cat spat. "Hasn't she seen the way your husband looks at you like you're a dessert buffet?"
Haha I love Cat and she is so factual about it
"It doesn't matter," she added, inching her computer further away from you. "My code is flawless. And this bitch can sit on the ground indefinitely, I don't even care. Don't mess with my friends."
I knew she would react like this 👏🏻
This would add hours and hours of work to Cat's schedule. You knew it. She knew it, too, but she was rolling her shoulders with a satisfied smirk on her face. "I love investigations. I haven't done one since the summer. And as far as I'm concerned, it's better to be safe than sorry." Her smirk melted into a solemn expression. "I take my job very seriously. You know for a fact I'll do everything by the book."
Tumblr media
"What about all the extra hours?" you whispered. "I don't give a shit. You can help Jake can take care of Jer while I work late. I'll go over Jeffries' aircraft with a fine tooth comb." When you looked at her, you burst into tears. "Thank you." "You don't have thank me. It's my pleasure to keep the Pacific Fleet safe from all kinds of threats."
I want to thank Lieutenant Commander Coleman specifically for her service 🫡👏🏻

Cat gave you an earful over the phone, and you let her. As soon as you told her you wanted to move up the unveiling of the project she'd been leading for months, she panicked.
"I have it scheduled for December," she snapped. "Six weeks from now. It's not perfect yet, and you know how much I like perfection."
When you said, "It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to work," you heard a muffled scream.
"I'm going to break out in hives. I need to lie down," she hissed. "You're talking about something that affects the entire F/A-18 fleet."
You rolled your eyes. "I'm not talking about the whole Super Hornet fleet yet. I'm talking about testing on a handful of aircrafts. Or maybe just one to start..."
When you went silent, Indigo's eyes danced through your mind along with her pompous voice and irritating strut. 
"Do you have any idea how long I'll have to stay at work? I'll be here overnight finishing this. Overnight. Do you hear me?" Cat asked.
"I'll owe you big time," you replied. "I'll babysit Jer a hundred times. A thousand times."
"I absolutely refuse to mention this to Bickel," Cat whispered, reminding you she was at work while you were in your living room. "You can talk to him about it yourself, but I will not. Because I value my relationship with my commanding officer."
"I'll take care of Bickel. He loves it when we're ahead of schedule," you replied, biting your lip as you realized you would very much need his permission to push your plan forward. And you weren't sure you could get it.
"Why do you want this so much? And are you coming back to work today? What's going on?"
You took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. "Listen, I'll be there tomorrow, okay? And I'll fill you in then. Just...give me until tomorrow. Please, keep working on your code."
Cat groaned so loudly, you had to pull your phone away from your ear. "Fine." Then the call ended, and you ran for your bedroom with your hand holding your belly.
Bradley was already sound asleep, the dark circle under his eye prominent even as his face was half buried in his pillow. His thick arm was flung across the spot where your body belonged, and you could see his fingers twitching along the bedding like he was searching for you. 
Your heart clenched, and you slipped quietly under the covers next to him. "There you are," he grunted, opening one eye as he pulled you closer. "Did you talk to Cat?"
"Yes," you whispered, letting him pull you close so his chest was pressed snug against your back. His warm hand settled on your belly, and his even breathing filled your ear.
"Baby Girl, I can't stay awake," he murmured, kissing the back of your neck. "I need a little nap, then I'll get up with Rose when she cries," he promised.
"I can get up. I'm not that sleepy," you told him, melting in his arms as his fingers circled your belly button. 
"I love you," he rasped, kissing your ear before his soft snores filled the space. 
Your eyes blinked slowly before closing, and you realized you were exhausted, too. The adrenaline that had filled you when you were in Bradley's office was drained now. Your belly was full from lunch, and Bradley was so warm. Even the baby had settled into a gentle squirming pattern like she knew you needed a break.
Sleep took over. You never heard a sound until you jolted awake alone in the dark bedroom with your breasts aching. You needed to feed Rose for some relief, because it had been hours since she'd eaten, so you slipped out of bed. 
Bradley had her tucked in his arm, reading a story about a goose on the couch while Rose poked his mustache. Every other word was punctuated with his laughter, and Rose erupted into giggles.
"How am I supposed to finish the story when you keep distracting me? Now we'll never know if the silly goose finds his friends, and that's your fault, Nugget."
Rose giggled more, and Bradley tossed the book aside to give her kisses while you watched from the end of the hallway. He was the most perfect father, and you should have never doubted him. You wanted to apologize a million more times, but when his eyes met yours, you simply said, "I love you, Roo."
He was on his feet, Rose held against his chest, and then he was smothering you in kisses, too. You couldn't stop laughing as his rough mustache scratched your cheeks while he held you in place with one big hand on your butt.
When he finally stopped, he took you by the hand and said, "Wait until you see this. You're not going to believe it."
"What?" you asked, but he was already setting Rose down on her play mat. As soon as she was on her belly, she popped up to her knees, crawled two feet, and collapsed back onto her belly. "She's crawling!"
"She's crawling!" Bradley shouted. "I took a video of the first time, so you didn't miss it. This was only the second time, I swear. Unless she's been crawling around in her crib."
"She probably has been," you cooed, easing yourself down onto the floor next to her. She promptly started crying hysterically. "She associates you with fun. I think she only associates me with food," you said, pulling your shirt over your head.
"That's not true," Bradley insisted, staring openly at your breasts which were starting to leak. "You're so much more than a perfect rack."
With an eye roll you said, "I guess I should start thinking about what to make for our dinner while she eats." 
Rose latched on while Bradley kissed the top of your head. "I already took care of it."
"You did?"
"Yeah, I reprised one of your mom's crockpot meals. Chicken soup."
You blinked up at him as he stood. "How? We don't have any groceries. I haven't felt like going shopping."
"Rosie and I took care of it. You needed to sleep, so we went to Costco. Did you know they give you twice the number of free samples if you take the cutest baby in the world?"
"Did you wear her in her carrier on your chest?" you asked as he went into the kitchen.
"Yep."
"That'll do it. Makes you look irresistible." Bradley blushed as he took the lid off the soup, and then the smell of dinner hit your nose. "Oh my god, I'm starving."
He started shifting things around on the counter. "I'll bring you a bowl, and it should be cool enough to eat by the time Rose is done."
You watched him work as your daughter got groggy in your arms. Bradley carried two bowls into the living room along with crackers and lemonade. He had dinner set up for both of you by the time Rose's eyes started to close, and that's when you realized just how late it was.
"I think she's ready for bed," you whispered, handing her to Bradley so you could stand.
"Go eat. I'll burp her and change her diaper," he promised, nodding toward the food. 
As soon as his big hand circled her back, you heard her burp. It always took you twice as long. This was also the first night in weeks Bradley was home at this early, and you felt tears prickle your eyes as he walked around singing to Rose about the silly goose and his friends before vanishing into the nursery. It didn't take him long to return empty handed, and when he did, you were crying on the couch.
-----------------------------
Bradley missed this so much. He'd only been home for a handful of nights to get Rose ready for bed recently. Right now he was enjoying her fuzzy hair against his lips as he gently set her down on her changing table. He grabbed a fresh diaper and clean pajamas covered in airplanes while she yawned. 
"Are you too tired to finish the story?" he whispered. "You're going to leave me on a silly goose cliffhanger?"
He swore she nodded. She probably did, she was so fucking smart. She could roll over and crawl, and soon she'd be talking and walking around. 
"Okay," he murmured. "We can finish the book tomorrow."
He flicked on the lullaby machine even though she was already falling asleep in her crib and went in search of his wife and his dinner. But he found you sitting on the couch with tears on your cheeks.
He dropped to his knees in front of you. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," you whispered, shaking your head. "I'm just happy you're home tonight."
Bradley's face fell as you wiped at your tears, guilt filling his body. "I'm so sorry I fucked up so much," he replied, reaching for your hands. "I just wanted to be on top of everything at work, but I should have been here with you."
"It's okay," you sobbed.
"No. It's not. None of this is fair to you, and I'm not even talking about Indigo right now. You need me helping more at home, and I haven't been. I took this new position so I could be here more and be deployed less, but I fucked it up. I'm thinking about asking Mav to pull me."
"No," you gasped, wiggling off the couch and onto his lap. "You can't, Bradley. You're such a good teacher."
He buried his face in your neck and inhaled as he wrapped his arms around you. "I'm a joke. Nobody's taking me seriously. I have a student who convinced herself she could take advantage of me."
You jerked his chin up so he was looking at you. "That's not even true. She admitted she pulled the same shit in the past, and of course she wanted you, too. You're so sexy. But that's her fucking problem at the end of the day, not yours. And I won't let her make it ours."
Bradley closed his eyes as you kissed his nose and his cheeks. "I just want you to be happy," he whispered. "I'll do whatever I can to make my family happy."
When you said, "You already reported her, right?" he nodded. "That makes me happy. And if you come home on time more often, that will make me happy, too."
"What about a vacation?" he asked softly, letting his hand rest on your belly. "Just the four of us? We could go away for our anniversary. Today was so nice, I think we need some more time off together."
You hummed and nodded. "Let me make sure I don't piss Bickel off tomorrow before I agree to that. I don't want to request time off with my tail between my legs."
Bradley raised one eyebrow. "I'm scared to know what you need to talk about that could make him upset."
"The less you know, the better."
Your words didn't calm his nerves, but your kisses did. So did the soup which was the perfect temperature to eat. You even watched an episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey with him before he started cleaning up.
"I can do that," you told him. "I slept all afternoon."
He turned you toward the bedroom and swatted at your butt. "You and Nugget number two were tired. Go relax in bed and start looking at the Halloween costumes I saved in my Amazon cart for Rose." 
Bradley handed you his phone and sent you on your way. He let Tramp outside and loaded the dishwasher before wiping down the counter and packing up the rest of the dinner. When he finally walked into the bedroom, you were topless and giggling.
"We have to get her this costume!" you insisted, holding up his phone, showing him the one that was actually his top choice as well.
"That was my favorite," he grunted, watching your tits bounce as you sat up.
"It's too perfect. I'll order it right now."
Bradley was distracted as he walked around the room, trying to get ready for bed. He brushed his teeth and got undressed, eyes barely able to look anywhere but at your body. This morning, he woke up in the Bronco on the driveway, because you thought there was a chance he was messing around behind your back. He was just happy to put that behind him. He wasn't about to press his luck as he climbed in bed.
"Here you go," you whispered, handing his phone back. He took it and plugged it in to charge overnight, but your breasts brushed his arm. They were heavy and perfect, your nipples big and pert from all the hormones and breast milk. And now he was fully erect as he tried to lay on his back, reaching to turn the lamp off.
"Are you ready for bed? Or do you feel like staying up a little longer?"
Bradley's gaze snapped to your face as his fingers hovered next to the lamp. "I could stay up a little longer," he rasped, keeping his eyes away from your tits which were pressed together as you leaned closer to him. "If you want."
Bradley had barely touched you in weeks which was evidenced by his throbbing cock. You'd seemed tired and distant, all thanks to Indigo, but he didn't put the pieces together at the time. He thought you were worn out from your pregnancy. Right now, he was horny as hell but afraid for you to know where his mind was as he tried to discreetly adjust himself.
He left the lamp on as you curled up snug against his side. "I saw that you started another notebook for the baby," you said, your fingers skimming along your belly, showing off your perfect body.
Bradley grunted. "Each Nugget gets to read my personalized thoughts on parenthood when they're older."
Your lips found his shoulder, and he shivered. "You're a good dad. I'm sorry I doubted you." Bradley closed his eyes as your fingers traced his chest hair down to his abs. It felt like heaven. He wasn't going to make it.
"Why are you topless?" he gasped, tone accusatory. "You've been sleeping in a sports bra with those pad things in them."
"My nursing pads?" you asked, clearly confused. "So I don't leak at night?"
"Yeah. Those things. Why are your tits all over the place right now?"
You looked taken aback as you pulled your hand away from his body and sat up. Bradley groaned, eyes raking all over you as his cock tented the bedding. "I was going to put a bra on before I fall asleep. It just felt nice to take a break for a few minutes. Is it bothering you? I'll put it on now."
You were pouting, and he was sweating as you started to climb out of bed. "Jesus Christ, Sweetheart. Come back," he begged, wrapping his fingers around your wrist. "You look so fucking hot, I can't focus on anything."
"Oh." Your pout turned into softly parted lips that he needed to kiss. So he did. He sat up, letting the bedding fall to his hips as he smashed his lips to yours. Fuck, you felt too good. And then you blindly nudged his cock with your hand. "Oh!"
You pulled away, wide eyed and staring down. "Yeah," he grunted. "But in my defense, you had your tits all over the place. You still do." Then you wrapped your hand around his erection, and Bradley collapsed against his pillow. "We don't have to mess around tonight," he gasped. "It wasn't my intention at all. I just wanted to spend time together."
Your laughter filled his ears, and colors erupted behind his eyelids as you worked your hand down to his balls. "You really never stopped wanting me?"
"I've wanted you nonstop since the moment I first saw you," he whined, and then your lips wrapped around his cock. Bradley's eyes flew open, watching you give him head, but after a minute of pleasure, he was reaching for you. "I won't last another minute."
You pulled him free with a pop. "So?"
Bradley panted. "So, I want to make you feel good, too."
You smirked and licked him from balls to tip. "It makes me feel good knowing you can't stop looking at my body." He forced his gaze from your nipples to your face. "And it will make me feel good to swallow your cum before letting you suck on my tits."
He was going to pass out, he was sure of it. "Okay," he rasped, in no position to argue with you while you were gagging on his cock. 
He had been correct. After another minute, he was grabbing at the bedding, hanging on for dear life. Your tits were bouncing against his inner thighs, and your belly looked gorgeous. Your face was perfect as you looked up at him with your mouth full. This wasn't what he expected, but he wasn't mad about it. He came, barking out your name as you swallowed every drop, licking him clean.
When you eased yourself onto your back, coaxing him closer to your taut nipples, he moaned. He was in heaven with your fingers in his hair, and when he tasted you, he knew he'd never get enough.
He kept you up for another hour, making sure you felt as good as he did.
----------------------------
You couldn't stop smiling the next morning as Bradley kissed your cheek while you tried to put your contacts in. "Can I have a little space, Roo?" you asked sweetly.
"No," he whispered, crowding in closer. "I can't stop touching you."
He'd done plenty of that last night. You came so hard on his mouth and fingers, you thought you were going to wake Rose up. Turns out Bradley had been missing you while you were trying to block him out to protect yourself. But Indigo was toast. You'd see to that. She had Bradley convinced he was terrible at his job, and that just wouldn't do. Neither would the fact that nobody got to have your husband except you.
"If you let me get ready for work, I'll blow you again tonight."
He took an immediate step away, hands up in surrender. "By all means, have as much space as you need, Sweetheart. I'll get Rose up and let her crawl around with Tramp."
After you brushed your teeth, you went to the closet. The maternity tent taunted you from the back corner, but you decided to squeeze into your regular uniform. "You'll have your day soon enough," you whispered. But your mind was already focused on work.
If Cat stayed late enough to finish the code, then just maybe you could pull this off. Indigo could get her punishment through the Navy, but you wanted to give her a little something special yourself. After all, she knew who you were, but she didn't know you overheard her in Bradley's office.
You were smiling as you strutted through the living room and out the front door. Rose was buckled in and ready to go, and Bradley was waiting in the driver's seat of the red Bronco with his aviators on.
"You look hot," he murmured, reaching to buckle your seatbelt for you after you climbed in. His lips brushed yours making you very aware you'd be late for work if the three of you didn't leave now.
"I told you I'd blow you tonight, not now."
Bradley laughed and started the engine. "That's not what I'm after, and you know it."
After he backed out of the driveway, he reached for your hand. "What are you after?"
"I want to have lunch with you in the cafeteria today."
Your smile grew as Bradley's rough fingers tangled with yours. "That sounds nice. Not sure what time I'll be able to get away though."
"Text me. Whenever you're free, I'll make it work."
"Okay," you whispered, turning to check on Rose. "And we'll leave on time to go home?"
"We'll leave on time to go home," Bradley confirmed.
You almost made another comment about the blowjob, but you knew it wasn't about that. He promised to do better, and you were going to as well. Starting with showing Indigo who's boss on your husband's behalf.
An hour later, your knuckles connected with Bickel's office door. "Come in!"
This was not the time for nerves. You needed to sound confident as hell. "Captain Bickel, Sir, can we talk about one of our projects for a minute?"
"Sure, Lieutenant Commander," he replied, shuffling some things on his desk. "Uh, have a seat."
He was kind and patient, and as soon as you got into it, you weren't nervous at all. "How do you feel about testing our code on some grounded Super Hornets ahead of schedule?" Kicking the project off early could actually be beneficial, and you knew it. It was a pretty easy sell. "It could give us a little more time to work out any kinks before the end of the year."
Bickel leaned back in his seat. "I'm not sure Lieutenant Commander Coleman is finished with the preliminaries."
"Oh, she is," you told him with a smile. "She's way ahead of schedule, because she's brilliant."
He laughed and nodded. "We really do have a great team. Hmmm." His brow furrowed, and he looked through his calendar. "I think this could actually work out well. Starting updates ahead of schedule means we could have the fleet back in the air ahead of schedule. Go ahead and move forward with an aircraft or two."
Your heart was racing. It was the moment of truth. This might not work out at all. "Do I need to choose randomly?"
Bickel shook his head. "Choose whichever you want. But if you ground your own husband, that's on you. I will not bail you out of that argument."
Satisfaction filled your insides as Bickel laughed at his own joke, and a giddy grin spread across your face. "I know just where to start, Sir," you promised, saluting him before running back to the lab with both hands on your belly.
Cat glared at you when you sat on the stool next to her. "I am so tired. Literally and figuratively," she mumbled. "Don't come in here and try to talk to me with your peppy BS. I don't want to hear it."
You laughed merrily and slid her computer away from her.
"Hey!" she complained, reaching for it, but you shook your head.
"We can start testing whenever we want," you said, opening the credentials list of each aviator currently at Top Gun associated with an F/A-18. "And we can choose which aircraft to run the program on first."
You scrolled past BRADSHAW, BRADLEY and FITCH, REUBEN and GARCIA, MICKEY as you made your way through the alphabet. When you got to JEFFRIES, BROOKE, you stopped and smiled. "Bingo."
"Who's Lieutenant Jeffries? And why did you go directly her them?" Cat asked as you casually went back to her lines of code to start double checking everything.
"Oh, she's been trying to fuck Bradley for over a month."
"What?" Cat screeched, jumping out of her seat. "What's going on?!"
You waved your hand dismissively. "She's a young pilot training under him, and apparently she likes getting sexy, older officers to sleep with her. Nothing's going on, much to her displeasure."
"Well of course nothing's going on!" Cat spat. "Hasn't she seen the way your husband looks at you like you're a dessert buffet?" You snorted, but she ripped her computer from your hands. "Give me this," she muttered, pounding away on the keys. A few seconds later, you realized what she was doing, but it was too late.
"Cat, don't!" you gasped. "You put 'check for potential incompetence and/or pilot error' in the notes!"
"So what?" she snarled. "I always do that when I ground an aircraft. It adds a layer of safety."
"I didn't even finish checking your new code to verify we can run the program!"
"It doesn't matter," she added, inching her computer further away from you. "My code is flawless. And this bitch can sit on the ground indefinitely, I don't even care. Don't mess with my friends."
You watched as Cat's index finger slammed into the return key.
"Oh my god," you groaned. "We're logged in under your credentials which means you're the one who will have to do a thorough investigation!"
This would add hours and hours of work to Cat's schedule. You knew it. She knew it, too, but she was rolling her shoulders with a satisfied smirk on her face. "I love investigations. I haven't done one since the summer. And as far as I'm concerned, it's better to be safe than sorry." Her smirk melted into a solemn expression. "I take my job very seriously. You know for a fact I'll do everything by the book."
"What about all the extra hours?" you whispered.
"I don't give a shit. You can help Jake can take care of Jer while I work late. I'll go over Jeffries' aircraft with a fine tooth comb."
When you looked at her, you burst into tears. "Thank you."
"You don't have thank me. It's my pleasure to keep the Pacific Fleet safe from all kinds of threats."
Eventually you texted Bradley when you were done checking Cat's perfect work, letting him know you were ready for lunch. The cafeteria was packed, but you found him standing alone at the end of the line.
"There you are," he murmured, collecting you in his arms and kissing you in front of everyone. "I'm so hungry, I thought I was going to have to start without you." He ushered you into line with a tray and began to pile it with food. "I got an email a few minutes ago letting me know that Indigo will be grounded until further notice starting tomorrow. You know anything about that?"
"I already told you, the less you know, the better. Don't forget to grab the hot sauce."
-----------------------------------
I'm afraid Indigo doesn't stand a chance if Cat teams up with BG... I just don't want her anywhere near Bradley. Gonna start wrapping up this series in a few more chapters!

Big day in the morning
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
Your name was everywhere.
Trending on Twitter. Flooding the news. Fans were demanding your comeback, and you had no idea what the fuck to do about it.
It wasn’t like you didn’t appreciate them. You loved your fans. They were the reason you stood where you did. But none of them knew what was actually happening behind the scenes.
None of them knew how tired you were.
And now, thanks to Utahime’s drunk impulsiveness, the internet was going crazy over your almost-kiss.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Last night, at the club, Utahime had pulled you into a dance both of you tipsy, breathless, laughing. And for a second, just a second, you two had leaned in a little too close.
Shoko had been the one to pull you back before anything happened.
But Utahime? That little traitor?
She posted the damn picture.
Now the entire world was obsessed with the idea that you two were dating.
You groaned, throwing your phone onto the bed. "What the fuck was she thinking?"
But honestly, a part of you didn’t even care.
Because there was something else weighing on your mind.
Something that had been suffocating you for weeks.
Nanami.
He had promised he’d be home by 6 PM.
But as always he wasn’t.
And you didn’t even have the energy to be mad anymore.
So you just went to bed.
morning
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
You woke up feeling warm.
For a moment, you thought it was a dream.
The familiar weight of an arm draped over your waist. The quiet sound of steady breathing.
But when you opened your eyes
Nanami was actually there.
For the first time in weeks, he was sleeping beside you.
Your heart clenched.
Carefully, hesitantly, you reached out and ran your fingers through his hair.
"Nanami?" Your voice was soft, still heavy with sleep.
A low hum rumbled in his throat.
"Mmh… I’m sorry for coming home late yesterday, love," he murmured, voice thick and drowsy.
His golden eyes fluttered open, looking up at you with something tender.
And fuck.
How could you not love him?
But then
Then you remembered.
The hickey. The perfume. The woman in his office.
Your stomach twisted.
You shoved him away, the warmth of his embrace suddenly suffocating.
Nanami didn’t resist. But his grip on you tightened.
"Please," he whispered. "It was just… a moment of weakness."
Your chest ached.
A moment of weakness.
Was that all six years meant to him? A moment of weakness?
A thousand words fought to leave your lips. You wanted to scream, to cry, to ask him why.
But in the end
You said nothing.
Because despite everything, despite knowing you should walk away
You forgave him.
Because you loved him.
Loved him so much you were willing to put up with his bullshit.
"I saw your tweet."
Nanami’s voice broke the silence as his fingers traced slow circles over your stomach.
"You wanted to get married, hm?"
You stiffened.
"It… It was just an excuse to get them off my back," you lied.
Of course you wanted to marry him.
You wanted it more than anything.
He hummed, unconvinced.
"You must have seen the news, then," you continued. "Everyone’s trying to figure out who the lucky man is."
A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
"Yes," he murmured, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear. "And I don’t mind you posting me at all."
You sucked in a breath.
Then, as if he could read your thoughts, he cupped your face tilting your chin up so you had no choice but to look at him.
"I meant every word I ever said to you," he whispered.
Your lips parted.
"I worshipped you," his voice dropped, low and intense. "I still do."
"Do you know what you are to me?" His voice was soft, but it carried weight.
You swallowed, unable to speak.
"You are the first thought in my mind when I wake up," he confessed, his lips ghosting over your temple. "And the last thing I think about before I sleep."
Your breath hitched.
"You are my peace, my chaos, my greatest weakness," he continued, his thumb stroking your cheek. "I have loved you in a way I never thought I was capable of loving anything."
He exhaled slowly.
"And it terrifies me."
You blinked, startled by the rawness in his voice.
"I have never been a selfish man," he admitted, his fingers tightening slightly on your waist. "But with you? I am."
Your heart pounded.
"Because I don’t want to share you. Not with the world, not with your fans, not with anyone." He leaned closer, his forehead pressing against yours. "I want you to myself."
"You are the only thing that has ever made me feel truly alive," he murmured. "And if I lose you, I don’t know if I could ever feel that way again."
You swallowed hard, heart pounding.
"So don’t doubt me, love," he murmured. "Because my heart has always been yours."
Fuck.
You forgot everything.
The cheating. The lies. The pain.
You forgot it all when he held you like this.
And you hated it.
But you smiled back anyway.
Because loving him hurt, but not loving him felt impossible.
a day off
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
Nanami took the day off today.
And for the first time in so long, things felt normal.
You spent the morning baking together. Flour dusted his shirt. Dough stuck to your fingers. He chuckled softly when you stole a bite of cookie batter.
And yeah.
You totally posted a couple of pictures.
Muhehe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then, later he took you out on a date.
It felt like old times. Like before.
Soft words. Affectionate glances. His fingers brushing over yours just because.
"You look beautiful," he had whispered. "You always do."
Your heart swelled.
And just like that
You fell in love with him all over again.
Night
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
The day ended peacefully.
Nanami sat beside you on the couch, reading a book while you scrolled through your phone.
It was quiet. Too quiet.
And yet your heart wouldn’t stop racing.
Because you couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.
That this happiness was temporary.
That sooner or later everything would come crashing down.
And you weren’t sure if you were ready for it.
Somewhere other the universe
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
Gojo Satoru had never been a man of patience.
So why the fuck was he still here?
Scrolling through your posts. Clicking on your pictures. Watching the videos of you and Nanami with a scowl on his face.
He told himself it was just curiosity. Just harmless interest.
But the truth was so much uglier.
It boiled his blood to see you with Nanami.
Nanami. Of all people.
An old classmate, a so-called friend someone Gojo had always thought was too stiff, too rigid, too unfeeling to love someone like you.
Were they happy? Sure.
Would Gojo ever fucking admit it?
Absolutely not.
Because deep down, he knew he wasn’t just criticizing Nanami.
He was jealous.
And fuck, he hated it.
Gojo had never been particularly close to you. Sure, you had been featured in his songs. Sure, he had spent hours replaying those tracks just to hear your voice.
But beyond that?
Nothing.
You were a fellow artist. A colleague.
And yet
To him, you were so much more.
He had tried to forget it. Tried to drown himself in distractions.
But it never worked.
Your voice was still the one he searched for in crowded places.
Your face was still the one he found himself watching during award shows.
Your name was still the one he typed into search bars at 2 AM just to see if you had posted something new.
And now, as he sat there, glaring at yet another picture of you and Nanami
He decided enough was enough.
He was done watching.
If he wanted to hear your voice so badly he would make it happen.
A remix.
That was the perfect excuse, wasn’t it?
A new collaboration. A remastered version of one of your old songs.
Just an innocent business proposal.
Not an excuse to see you. Not an excuse to hear your voice up close.
Not an excuse to remind you that you had other options.
That maybe just maybe you were better off with someone else.
Gojo leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his snowy white hair.
"She just needs to sing for me," he murmured to himself.
But deep down
He knew he wanted so much more than that.
Gossip in the group
He then went to the group to share about his idea to feature you in his remix, and fuck, as always, it was useless.
It was always the same eye rolls, dismissive texts, insults disguised as jokes.
But did that stop him?
Hell no.
If they weren’t going to support his genius plan, then screw them.
Gojo would make this happen on his own.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But he was genuinely shocked when Geto actually backed him up. Of all people, he expected Geto to be the first to shoot him down, not the one defending his idea.
So this bastard actually liked your songs? And he had been pretending he didn’t just to avoid getting teased? Unbelievable. Gojo smirked oh, he was never letting this go.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
IS GETO FUCKING KIDDING HIM
Suguru. Of all fucking people.
Gojo could handle Nanami.
Nanami was stiff, reserved, predictable. He was a good man, but he was a man who followed the rules. And rules? Rules were meant to be broken.
But Suguru?
That shocked him to his core.
Because Suguru wasn’t supposed to want you.
Yet he did.
Gojo had always known, deep down, that Suguru secretly listened to your songs when he thought no one was watching.
He knew Suguru had pictures of you tucked away in his room.
And yet, every time he confronted him, Suguru would just smile. Brush it off. Deny it.
But now?
Now, Suguru admitted it.
Now, Suguru said it out loud.
And worst of all Suguru had the audacity to say,
"She was never yours to begin with."
Gojo knew that was the truth.
But he didn’t want to admit it.
Didn’t want to hear it from Suguru, of all people.
Because Suguru knew.
Suguru knew Gojo had an eternal, fucking pathetic, all-consuming crush on you.
Suguru knew that Gojo wanted you in ways he didn’t even know how to put into words.
And yet, if Suguru ever got the chance to be with you?
Gojo wouldn’t be able to bear it.
He’d end it.
He’d ruin it.
Because the thought of you with Nanami was frustrating.
But the thought of you with Suguru?
It was maddening.
His best friend. His brother. The only person who could truly challenge him who could steal you away from him.
It was unbearable.
Because Gojo didn’t want to share.
Not with Nanami.
Not with Suguru.
Not with anyone.
He wanted you for himself.
And he didn’t even know how.
Maybe just maybe he’d take a turn that was insane.
Something that no one would expect from him.
His fingers twitched. His mind raced.
Then, abruptly
He slapped himself.
A loud, sharp smack that snapped him back to reality.
And then he laughed.
Because fuck.
Maybe he was already losing it.

When did I?
Tumblr media
Sukuna x GN! Reader
Summary: When did Sukuna allow you into his heart? Just a little lovesick drabble
Words: 769
Warnings: None
A/N: There's no specified gender, pronouns, race etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He's not sure when he allowed moments such as these to start with you. He's not sure he even allowed it to be fair. It's not like you had asked permission, just somehow found yourself there. When did you go from nodding politely before scurrying out of the bath house to gently cleaning him. When did he become content with you sat on the tile behind him, legs draped over his shoulders as you massaged his scalp. His large, bare form submerged to just above his hips. Every slow, deep breath creating soft ripples through the scented water, another thing he can't remember allowing and yet has become a part of his life. Soft humming emanated from behind him and he sighed, leaning his head back against your stomach, dampening the soft material of your clothes.
"Tsk My Lord you're getting my robes wet, and I can't clean your hair if it's pressed against me" you'd huffed, tugging lightly on the soft pink tufts under your hands. The curse below you grumbled and pressed his head further back against you making you roll your eyes. "My Lord please, at least let me rinse the soap out first."
"Fine, be quick about it." He huffed, sitting back up. When did he allow such a tiny thing to command him. He frowns at the thought as he feels you beginning to rinse his hair, gently as always, as if you were looking after a child or something delicate and not a monster. He grabbed at one of your legs, squeezing your calf as he thought on how easy it would be to snap, he'd only need the one hand really. He wasn't sure what bothered him more, the soft hum as you patted his head, declaring you were done, entirely unbothered by the grip he had on you, or the realization that he couldn't possibly bring himself to do it. When did he begin to care for you enough that the simple thought of hurting you made him nauseous.
You'd leant forward, wrapping your arms around his neck, chin resting atop his head as you practically cooed at him. "What's the matter My Lord? You seem annoyed." He could hear the pout you wore as well as the honest concern you seemed to hold for him. A low growl formed in his throat and he turned around, kneeling in the hot water as he glared up at you. The sudden movement had you sitting up and scooting back to give him space, briefly concerned you'd crowded him too much, echoed in your furrowed brows as you looked at your Lord.
"You, you annoy me. I could break you, eat you. I could do whatever I want with you and instead of you looking at me with fear you look at me like that, concerned and caring." His voice came out strained and angry and despite that, despite the four narrowed eyes on you, you smiled. Gentle and warm as you looked upon him before reaching out to run your fingers through his hair. "I cannot fear you My Lord, I care for you, respect you, love you. Should my death come at your hands I would die at peace. If my flesh sustained you I would be honoured and willing to give it to you. I fear only displeasing you My Lord."
Sukuna Ryomen has had many devoted servants in his life, none more than Uraume, until now perhaps. Perhaps your unwavering devotion and love for him is why he had such a soft spot for you, he doesn't remember being loved before. He liked it, the way it felt, the way you felt, which is why he grabbed your face with his hand, bringing you down to eye level and pressed his lips to yours. It was harsh and unpractised, you were sure your lips would bruise and yet you couldn't stop the smile from forming as you curled your fingers into his hair once again. When he pulled back, he looked stern but he seemed to soften slightly at the smile on your face.
He may be rough right now but you would teach him to be softer. You wouldn't ask because he wouldn't allow it, but in time he will find that his kisses aren't as harsh as this first one, they're softer, slower, loving. He'll glare at you, realise you've changed him like you did his bathing routine. That you smoothed his harsh edges like water on stone and he won't admit it, not ever but he's glad you have and he wouldn't change this for anything.

[🌸] hi, hi :> this was funny to write, lmao
characters: gojo satoru
genre: fluff
warnings: none, gn!reader
...
So! This is my work for @slvttyplum’s prompt event: ‘“We're dating?? Since when??”’--enjoy!
...
Tumblr media
...
..
.
The sound of the spoon gently tapping against the ceramic coffee cup floated between the two of you as he stirred the sugar with unusual patience. Gojo had his legs crossed over the chair in front of yours, his typical teasing smile in place, lips closed, and his sunglasses slid down to the tip of his nose. You could see the small marks that had started to form on his nose from wearing them. No matter how noisy the café was, for him, it was all about you.
You slowly frowned as you held your phone in your hands, which, surprisingly, felt warm. You had just opened a message from a coworker who, with a tone that was somewhere between curious and envious, had written: 'Wow, I didn’t know you were dating Gojo-sensei. I thought it was just a rumor.'
That made you look up at him, your gaze filled with disbelief.
“Are we dating? Since when?”
Gojo stayed silent for a couple of seconds. Just long enough for you to wonder if you had finally caught him off guard. But then, the curve of his smile widened in amusement, making you scoff lightly.
“You’re just realizing it now?” he responded in his usual carefree tone, resting his chin on one hand. “Ah, the pain of loving someone so oblivious.”
You let out a soft sigh, massaging your temples.
“Gojo, we’re not dating.”
“Sounds like someone forgot all our dates. How cruel!”
“Eating together because you kidnap me for lunch is not a date”
“Then, what about last week at the festival…?”
“You forced me to go with you just because you wanted to win the biggest plushie at the raffle!” you shot back, completely embarrassed.
Gojo leaned forward, looking thoughtful.
“Hmm, and what about that time I took you to watch the stars on Jujutsu High’s rooftop?”
You opened your mouth to refute him but closed it immediately. Okay, that had been a sweet moment… although the shameless man had fallen asleep in the middle of the conversation. Drooling and all while you vented about work stress—yeah, you were still embarrassed about that.
Gojo noticed your hesitation, and his smile grew even more smug.
“See, see~? Stop denying it. We’re a couple!”
You rolled your eyes.
“If that’s the case, then tell me when you actually asked me out.”
Gojo clicked his tongue, leaning back against his chair.
“Details, details… Who cares who asked first? What matters is love, dear.”
You stared at him in disbelief. He simply laughed and took a sip of his coffee, as if he hadn’t just confused the entire café with his ridiculous statement.
“You should start telling people we’re dating,” he suggested with a shrug. “That way, I can save myself the trouble of rejecting all my admirers.”
“Not my problem.”
“Wow, so cold. Were you always like this with your boyfriend?”
You shot him a sharp glare, but he only laughed—that light, carefree laugh of his that, strangely enough, made your chest feel warm.
And, for some reason, in that moment you still didn’t quite understand, you wondered if he was really joking or if there was something more behind his words.

Under the mistletoe
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Quinn Hughes x reader.
Summary: It’s all fun and games until you meet with Jack under the mistletoe Quinn put around the lake house.
Warnings: none.
Masterlist!
Everthing was perfect.
The christmas tree perfectly standing in the corner of the lake house, the lights iluminating the whole place giving the life that it deserves. The smell of food could be notice around the whole place, indicating his mother was cooking her famous dish thanks to Luke’ insistence. And the subtle calm music could be heard from the living room, where his girl was suppose to be right now. To Quinn Hughes, that day couldn’t be more perfect, even if he wasn’t exactly a fan of celebrating much.
But, today was an exception. Because after seeing this idea around the whole internet, he though he might as well try it. After all, he was sure you wouldn’t mind the idea of kissing under the mistletoe from time to time. He put them in specific places where he knew only you will be able to find it. Like the entrance of your shared room, the little cozy hammoc at the back yard that his father clean up nicely for you last year, or even on top of the board behind your bed.
He thought he was a genius.
Until, of course, he realice that he wasn’t the only one who might enter your shared room. When his younger brother knock on the door to ask for a t shirt he didn’t even know he had with him. Jack should have enter like he always does, without a care on the world, and take what he needed like he normaly did.
But no. This time, he tried to be polite because he knew you were there, and entering the room like that might end up badly. Not as bad as right now, Quinn thought. Right when he got out of bathroom after taking a shower, looking for some clothes.
And instead, finding a rather odd situation.
That’s when he realice how much of a bad idea was to put mistletoe everywhere when there were other people around the house. It would have been cute if it was his parents, maybe even Luke and the girl he swore was just his friend. But no. No, no, no. This time, under the mistletoe, was his lovely girlfriend and his horrendous brother, Jack. Both looking at each other with surprise at first, followed by a flick of amusement in their eyes when they realice Quinn was about to lose his mind.
“¡No! ¡No! ¡No!”
Quinn didin’t even hesitate to move, passing both arms around his partner to not only move her closer to him, but also away from his brother. The same boy who laughed right at his face at the look of despair in him, clearly enjoying the idea of pissing him off. Maybe also enjoying the idea of at least get a kiss on the cheek from you, but that was a story for another day.
“What’s the matter, Q?” Jack smile with fake inocence at him “You put them around the house, you should have known better”
“Shut up and get out of here already!”
“But I didn’t get my kiss!” Jack fake protested “I can’t leave without it!”
“And you’ll never have it!” Quinn almost kill him for that, with his girl laughing in between his arms “You better stay hundreds of meters away from her, you hear me!?”
“Boring”
Jack made fun of him with that, shaking his head a little bit while finally moving away from the entrance of the room. To be honest, he forgot about the shirt when he though he would at least get a kiss on the cheek from his sister in law. But, he didn’t forget how much he loved bullying Quinn, because he was sure he was never going to let him leave this down ever again.
“It’s okay, Jack” she said amuse “I can kiss you later”
She wouldn’t.
But she liked messing with Quinn too.
“No you won’t!”
Quinn’s answer made his partner giggle, feeling the jealousy in him while he moved her away from there, closing the door behind their backs. Of course, not without almost tearing the mistletoe from it, swearing to himself that he would burn every single one of it for the end of the day.
“You are cute when you are jealous”
She would never let him forget that either.

“𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
bangchan x gn! reader
summary: you and bangchan have been together for several years, and you plan a surprise anniversary celebration. However, chan has an unexpected event (like a work crisis) and it forces you to reconsider what "romantic" means. How does the unexpected twist challenge your connection? Do you find a way to reconnect in a more meaningful way, or does it test your bond with chan?
genre: fluff, romance, angst
warnings: none
word count: 757
————————————————————————-
Chan was exhausted and frustrated as he got home late from work. He had been looking forward to spending the evening with you, especially since it was your anniversary. He saw you waiting for him with a warm smile, and felt a mixture of guilt and disappointment. "Hey," he said, forcing a weary smile.
"I'm sorry I'm late," chan added, sitting down heavily on the couch next to you. "There was an emergency at work, and it took forever to sort out."
You tried to stay calm and understanding, but you couldn't hide the disappointment in your eyes. "It's our anniversary, and you're late again," you said, your voice laced with a hint of anger.
Chan slumped down more, feeling the weight of your frustration. He knew he had messed up. "I know, I know," he said, running a hand through his hair. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to be late, but this was unavoidable."
You looked at him, your frustration turning to sadness. "Unavoidable?" you asked, your voice cracking slightly. "It always seems unavoidable when it comes to work. It's like your job is more important to you than I am."
Chan's expression softened as he heard the hurt in your voice. "That's not true," he protested, reaching out to take your hand. "You know you're important to me. Work is just... stressful right now, that's all."
You pulled your hand away, feeling a mix of anger and sadness. "But it's always stressful at work," you retorted. "It's our anniversary, and I had planned something special for us. But you didn't even remember, did you?"
Chan looked down at his hands sheepishly. "I...I did remember," he mumbled. "I just...got caught up in work. I'm sorry." He looked up at you with pleading eyes, hoping you would understand.
You sighed, feeling your resolve weakening. Part of you wanted to stay mad, but another part of you just wanted to forgive him. "You always say you're sorry," you said, your voice softer now. "But it never seems to change. Work always comes first."
Chan's expression turned pained. "I don't know what you want me to say," he said, his voice filled with frustration. "I can't just quit being an idol , I have responsibilities. But I do care about you, more than anything. I'm trying to balance everything, but it's not easy."
"I know it's not easy," you said, your voice cracking again. "But it feels like I'm always coming second. And on our anniversary, of all nights..."
Chan reached out to take your hand again, this time you let him. "I know I messed up," he said, his eyes full of remorse. "I should have been here for you, and for us. I'll make it up to you, I promise. Just...don't give up on me, okay? I can't lose you."
Your resolve crumbled at his words. You knew he was trying, in his own way. And deep down, you didn't want to lose him either. "Okay," you said, your voice barely above a whisper. "I won't give up on you. But please...please try harder."
Chan felt a wave of relief wash over him. He squeezed your hand, grateful for your understanding. "I will," he said, looking into your eyes intently.
You nodded, your anger fading. You knew it wouldn't be easy, and there would be more bumps in the road. But for now, you were willing to give him another chance. You scooted closer to him on the couch, and leaned against his shoulder.
Chan put his arm around you, pulling you closer. "I love you," he said softly. "No matter how crazy things get, please remember that.”
You rested your head on his shoulder, feeling a sense of comfort in his embrace. "I love you too," you said quietly. Despite your earlier anger, being close to him made you realize how much you needed him.
Chan kissed the top of your head, feeling grateful for your forgiveness. "I'll make it up to you," he repeated, more determined than ever. "I know I've let you down before, but I'm going to try harder from now on. For you, for us."
You looked up at him, seeing the sincerity in his eyes. "I believe you," you said, your voice regaining some of its warmth. "Just...don't forget about our anniversary next year, okay?"
Chan chuckled softly, knowing he would need to set a dozen reminders on his phone to make sure that never happened again. "I won't," he promised. "And I'll make sure to make it the best one yet."

almost, always˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
(vernon x reader)
you don’t believe in valentine’s day.
at least, that’s what you’ve always told vernon. every year, without fail, he asks if you have plans on february 14th, and every year, you scoff and tell him, "it's a capitalist scam, vernon. love shouldn't need a designated day."
and every year, he grins and replies, "noted."
except this year is different.
because this year, you're sitting across from vernon at your favorite late-night diner, halfheartedly stirring your milkshake while he scrolls through his phone. and this year, for the first time since you've known him, he's not single on valentine’s day.
you shouldn’t care. you shouldn’t. but you do.
"you’re weirdly quiet," vernon says, glancing up. "deep in thought about capitalism?"
you roll your eyes. "always."
he smirks, setting his phone down. "i know you think valentine’s day is dumb, but if you did celebrate it, what would your ideal date be?"
you frown, caught off guard. "why do you wanna know?"
he shrugs. "just curious."
you hesitate, then sigh. "i don’t know… something low-key. none of that over-the-top romantic stuff. just… good company, good food. maybe a late-night walk, listening to music."
vernon hums in thought. "that’s not bad."
"yeah, well," you mutter, suddenly annoyed. he’s probably taking her on some fancy date instead.
he studies you for a second. "you okay?"
"totally," you lie, taking a sip of your milkshake. "so, what’s the plan for you and—" you almost choke on her name. "her tonight?"
vernon blinks. "huh?"
"your girlfriend," you say, trying to sound casual. "what are you guys doing?"
he stares at you for a moment before snorting. "you think i have a girlfriend?"
you freeze. "...don’t you?"
"no?" he says, laughing. "where’d you even get that idea?"
"you’ve been texting someone non-stop all week!" you argue.
"yeah, you."
your brain short-circuits. "what?"
he sighs, exasperated but amused. "i was trying to make sure you were free tonight. and clearly, you are."
you blink. "wait—are we on a valentine’s day date right now?"
vernon grins. "i mean, you did just describe your ideal one."
your face heats up. "vernon—"
"what?" he teases, nudging your foot under the table. "if love shouldn’t need a designated day, then hanging out with me tonight shouldn’t be a big deal, right?"
he has a point, and you hate that you like it.
you shake your head, hiding a smile. "you’re a scam."
he smirks. "but a good one?"
you roll your eyes. "almost."
but the way your heart is racing tells you—maybe, always.

Choi Subong “Thanos” - Ka-ching.
Tumblr media
Warning : none
Genre : fluff
Synopsis : “thanos with a rich reader?” -anon
Reader : male (you/yours)
A/N : bold is in English
Tumblr media
Oh, he’s so gonna use your money to his advantage. You freed him from his debts and are constantly paying him stuff, so he believes himself untouchable now.
You’re always spending money on him and he’s absolutely smug about it. A bit like a sugar baby but with feelings involved.
Don’t worry, he too spends your money as well.
Buying new high fashion clothes, special edition shoes, expensive rings. Sometimes he uses your own money to buy you stuff.
It’s the thought that counts, right ?
His clothes are really bright and colorful, with a few occasional darker ones, for you it’s the opposite. You own a lot of suits that are generally quite basic and dark but the colored and original looking ones come from him.
One day, you were staring at one of his bright orange t-shirts. It made you think of those fluorescent safety vests.
“Are you afraid to not be seen at night ?” You suddenly asked.
“Huh ?”
“It’s so bright I can’t look at it.” You continued, closing your eyes with a dramatic grimace. He scoffed, taking the shirt from your hands to put it on.
“Everyone’s in dark clothes.” He replied. “I want all eyes on me.”
You nodded, watching him put some cargo shorts on.
“You make me think of, uh, birds.” You smiled, trying not to laugh.
“Huh ? Birds ? Pigeons ?”
“When did I say pigeons ? Are pigeons the only birds ?” You sighed. “Birds try to mate by displaying their colorful plumage. Courting.”
He looked at you weirdly, thinking.
“Why the fuck are they attracted to colors ?” He asked, sitting on the bed to put his shoes on.
“Bright colors show their good health and that they’re genetically advanced. There’s more but I doubt you care that much.”
“You’d be a boring looking bird.” He said as you flopped next to him on the bed.
“Ah, you hurt my feelings, man.” You threw your hand in the hair, hitting his shoulder before letting it glide down his back. “You’ll learn that there’s no boring looking birds. Even pigeons. You’d be a pink-necked green one.”
He scoffed, standing up.
“Search it up ! It’s not as flashy as you but it’s still really pretty.” You said, resting on your elbows.
“You think I’m pretty ?” He asked with fake shock. “Homo.”
You snorted.
“No. Ugliest man I’ve ever laid my eyes on, get out of my house. I'm gonna scream.” You replied, throwing a pillow at him, hitting the back of his head as he laughed before exiting the room while flipping you off.
Later he sent you a text saying pink necked green pigeons were actually decent looking.
He says he doesn’t like asking for money yet he’s spending every won you give him.
He’s like this especially after his rap career flopped. He worked his ass off to succeed, made some money off of it and suddenly everything went to shit.
But now that he has your money, he can make a big comeback and shock everyone back to their places.
He’s trying to find a label that would want to work with him while making an album, already planning which song would have a music video and what’s gonna be in it. It’s far from cheap. Though it’s all just ideas for now as he hasn’t finished writing even half of it.
You had to put some limits to his spending habits. Because as much as you loved him, he was spending way too much like a teenager with zero perception of the cost of things and life in general.
Either you help him with his album but no more expensive clothes, shoes, cosmetics.
Or he can buy whatever he wants but does his album on his own.
He whined about it a lot, but chose you to help him with his album in the end.
“I still don’t understand why I can’t do both.” He sulked as you rubbed his back.
“Do you think I’m Jay Y. Lee ? Or maybe you miss your debts that badly ?”
“Of course not ! But I’m not spending that much !” He scoffed, rolling his eyes like a child.
You chuckled, raising your eyebrows at him.
“Maybe you should use your money to pay for all the things you buy in a month. What do you think ?”
“Huh ?” He stared at you, caught off guard. “No way ! Come on !”
“I don’t know. I like that idea.” You said with a shrug standing up and walking away. Thanos quickly followed you.
“Hey, let’s not be hasty.” He grabbed your shoulders, rubbing them. “You’re still gonna help me with my album, right ?” He leaned closer with a smile, wrapping his arms around you.
“Ah, should I ? I don’t know…”
“You told me you would !” He said as he slapped your shoulder, making you chuckle. That fucking brat.
“I’m fucking with you, of course I will. Just no other expenses.” You smiled, turning to face him.
He sighed, throwing his head back in frustration with a groan.
“Okay, fine. But you promise you’ll help me ?”
Your hands gently went to his face, pulling it closer as you caressed his cheeks before kissing his forehead.
“Of course. Pinky promise or whatever.”
He absolutely loves your house. It’s big and spacious and it’s equipped with recent gadgets. A fully equipped kitchen that looks like you never used it. You actually use it, well, not you but your cook does. And the food is always delicious.
The bed is definitely bigger than his. He still hogs all the blankets and most of the place.
He refuses to sleep on the sides, preferring to be in the middle because he fears he’s gonna fall. So if he goes to bed before you you’ll have to push him a bit especially if you like sleeping in the middle as well.
You let out a long sigh as you watch him sprawled on your bed, arms and legs open wide with the blanket wrapped around his body.
“Subong. Move.” You said, pushing him to wake him up. He hummed before replying.
“…no.”
He hissed as you placed your cold hand on his naked back, successfully making him move away from the middle.
You quickly laid down, pulling on the blanket wrapped around him.
“What are you doiiing ?” He asked with a groan, stretching, bones cracking.
“What do you think ? Going into my bed to sleep.”
He just hummed, not caring anymore about what you just said as he went back to sleep.
Just like you he’s not really patient if you go to bed first and sleep in the middle.
He scoffs as he climbs into bed and pushes you away from the center. You fight back, yawning half asleep as you try to not lose your territory.
“Fucking bastard, move !”
“Nooo. Fuck off !” You replied with a tired voice, wrapping your arms around him to trap him.
He tries to fight it but ends up giving up, falling asleep on top of you with a frown.
That scowl never really disappears even as he’s long gone, drooling on you.
You categorically refuse to let him drive your car. He has extreme road rage and drives with way too much confidence to be safe on the roads. And with how much your car had cost you, there was no way you could risk it.
Do not believe Thanos only loves you for your money. He definitely appreciates that part about you, don’t get it twisted. But he also really likes just spending time with you.
If you have free time, he’ll take you to the made-up studio in your house so you can stay with him. Sometimes he’ll record you making weird noises to put in the background of his songs or he’ll ask you to give him a beat.
He spends a lot of time there and as interesting as it is, it gets boring for you after some time. Hearing the same part over and over, random instruments, erasing it, making the same one but slightly different, going to another part, repeating it over and over. And so on.
If there’s a concert or show he can do, and the opportunity is rare now, he’ll invite you backstage even if he’s not allowed to.
He’ll just piss people off until they accept. You told him to stop because they’ll probably won’t ask to come back again if he’s too annoying. But he doesn’t care, you have to be here.
There’s a mental note in his brain to repay you completely once he's a well known and loved rapper. For now he’s just stuck dreaming.
But with a little bit more patience and your help, he can definitely make it and even make people forget about the lyrics troubles he had.

Hello hello! I’d love some Sprout or Cosmo headcannons! Or both if you want, up to you. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
Certainly! I wasn’t sure if you wanted x reader headcanons, so I wrote some general ones for each character instead. Apologies if this isn’t what you had in mind.
Tumblr media
‧₊˚✩彡 ‧ DOUBLE FEATURE ₊˚✩彡๋ ࣭
✮ Summary: A compilation of headcanons about Sprout and Cosmo
✮ Character(s): Sprout Seedly (Dandy’s World), Cosmo (Dandy’s World)
✮ Genre: Headcanons, SFW
✮ Warning(s): None - Completely Safe!
✮ Image Credits: ZAPZAPPY on Open3DLab.
Tumblr media
SPROUT SEEDLY
Tumblr media
∇ Sprout is always up before most of the other toons, enjoying the early morning quiet. He uses this time to check the kitchen, plan his day, or make breakfast. If Cosmo isn’t awake yet, he’ll leave a small snack for him before getting to work.
∇ Despite his pushy nature, he’s surprisingly perceptive when it comes to sensing when someone needs space. He doesn’t always respect it, but he at least recognizes when something is wrong. With those he cares about, he tends to linger—watching silently until he’s sure they’re okay.
∇ He has a habit of adjusting his scarf absentmindedly when deep in thought. It’s a leftover tic from childhood, back when the scarf was too big and constantly slipped off. Even now that it fits perfectly, the habit remains.
∇ Baking is one of the few things that can completely absorb his focus. He’s methodical, precise, and refuses to cut corners. When he’s in the kitchen, he expects others to either help or stay out of his way. That said, he gets a little smug when someone compliments his pastries.
∇ He’s oddly competitive about the smallest things. Whether it’s a game, a challenge, or even a staring contest, he refuses to back down. Losing simply isn’t an option.
∇ Though brash at times, he has a strong sense of fairness. He has no patience for dishonesty, cheating, or manipulation. If he catches someone lying, he’ll call them out without hesitation, no matter how awkward it makes things.
∇ While he pretends to be indifferent to affection, he secretly enjoys it. If a friend ruffles his leaves or playfully nudges him, he won’t react much—but his blush gives him away.
∇ Sitting still for too long makes him restless. If forced into inactivity, he fidgets—tapping his fingers, shifting in place, or glancing around impatiently. He needs to feel productive.
∇ He has a soft spot for Pebble, though he’d never admit it. If the rock dog approaches him, he acts indifferent—until he thinks no one is watching. Then, he’ll subtly make sure Pebble is comfortable, maybe even sneaking him a snack.
∇ If someone he trusts asks for help, he drops everything to assist them. No matter what he is doing, if a friend needs him, he’s already on his way.
Tumblr media
COSMO
▹ Cosmo’s pockets are always filled with snacks—cookies, candies, tiny pastries—just in case someone needs a pick-me-up. If a friend looks even slightly down, he’s already offering them something sweet before they can protest.
▹ He hums while baking, never sticking to the same tune. If he’s really focused, he starts singing to himself without realizing it.
▹ He has a soft spot for kids and lights up when teaching them how to bake. He’s endlessly patient, carefully guiding them through each step. If a child messes up a recipe, he quickly finds a way to turn it into something new so they don’t feel bad.
▹ He talks with his hands, especially when excited. If he’s explaining a recipe or sharing an idea, his gestures become so animated that he nearly knocks things over.
▹ Though he’s an incredible baker, he rarely eats his own creations. He tastes everything to ensure quality, but he’d much rather see others enjoy his food than indulge himself.
▹ He struggles in high-pressure situations. When overwhelmed, he freezes, looking to Sprout or another toon for reassurance before making a decision.
▹ Sarcasm completely goes over his head. If someone makes an exaggerated statement, he takes it at face value, blinking in confusion before realizing they were joking.
▹ He’s surprisingly meticulous about his hoodie. While it may not look fancy, he keeps it spotless. The moment he notices a stain, he’s scrubbing it clean, and if it ever got torn, he’d be devastated.
▹ Despite his anxious nature, he’s incredibly generous. If a friend admires something he owns, he offers it to them without hesitation, even if it’s something he loves. Their happiness means more to him.
▹ He keeps a small notebook in his hoodie pocket filled with recipe ideas. Some are carefully detailed, while others are scribbled notes like “rainbow star cookies??” or “marshmallow surprise??? (what’s the surprise???)”

please tell me about your dnd campaign, stranger
hi hi hi hi hi hi hi do you have any idea how happy i am to get this ask. you have activated my trap card this is going to be SO long i am sorry in advance but The People Need To Know About My D&D Campaign.
so we’re playing in Adventures in Middle Earth, which is. supposedly a Tolkienverse-specific 5e mod but frankly it’s robust enough to fully count as its own system if you ask me. like it has its own guidebooks, character sheets, premade adventures, and features mechanics that 5e just straight up doesn’t have. it’s like if 5e were actually good. anyway. may i present to you:
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ The Mirkwood Campaign 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆
so what, exactly, happened in the intervening years between the events of the Hobbit and LOTR? we did, BAYBEEEEEE!!
we are:
Murdoc, a hobbitish warden (adventures in middle earth’s version of a bard), played by yours truly!! raised in the shire and eventually moved out to the middle of mirkwood by an eccentric uncle who idolizes bilbo baggins, murdoc is the heir apparent to the brandybuck family inn. unfortunately for murdoc, he has developed extremely nasty prophetic dreams and is now burdened with the ability to see the future! a skill that has definitely left him with a very normal relationship to his new day job of Being An Adventurer!! i am unhinged and have uh. Talked About Him A LOT If You Care To Read This, but he is full of murderous rage and also tea and loves his friends very much. he also, more recently, surrendered himself as bait to the great werewolf plaguing mirkwood, trusting completely that his friends would come and save him. he was right. they did. and he lost his right hand in the process. :)
Ríros, an elven warrior (aime version of a fighter), played by @jaz-the-bard. tall, buff, sunshiny, and an absolute himbo. ALSO loves his friends VERY much and this is KEY. unfortunately for ríros, he is a redhead, and that does cause problems in a world where maedhros feänorion once existed. (stranger, i am so sorry if you are not one of my silmarillion regulars and did not know what you were getting into by asking me, a silmarillion blog, to tell you about my d&d campaign, and now have no idea who or what the fuck i am talking about). ríros is notably not maedhros though! he isn't even noldorin!! maedhros is a ghost who lives in his sword (and who is also played by jaz)! and who also maybe kind of accidentally possessed him one time, if you wanna read this here for a better explanation of ríros mostly but also all of the above.
The Bearer, a human slayer (aime barbarian), played by @thymo-leonta. grumpy old man. unwilling father to all these young and stupid adventurers he’s been stuck with. are they all adults? yeah sure. they’re still Children. we are making him go grey. also full of murderous rage. looks like he's running from his perfectly normal, happy, loving family. is actually acutely aware of the fact that he has been doomed to die. killed the werewolf that took murdoc's hand. as a consequence, became the werewolf that took murdoc's hand. has two dogs, both named Dog <3
Déorwyn, a human wanderer (aime ranger), played by @shadowkat2000. resident party Horse Girl. a fellow sufferer of The Bad Prophetic Dreams^TM. because this is not quite unfortunate enough for her, déorwyn Hears Dead People. apparently our GM gives her extra secret bonus ghosts that the rest of us do not hear or know about! this being the source of her foresight makes her pretty distinct from murdoc, despite them both seemingly suffering from the same thing, in ways that i have LOTS of emotions about. her horse is named windrider and Their Bond Is Unbreakable uwu
and @potatoobsessed999, our obligatorily Extremely Ominous GM!
(we are also occasionally joined by Ioreth, a human treasure hunter (aime rogue), whose player is unfortunately not on tumblr. a founding member of the party, has earned the epithet The Feral, mostly loves to hang out in the woods by herself, look for shiny things, and cause chaos. as a beorning, she CAN astral-project herself as a bear. it rules. once got possessed by a ringwraith, probably holds the most compassion for characters who have been through similar out of any of us. is usually covered in mud.)
initially in the employ of radagast the brown, a tenure that did not last due to murdoc's insistence that saruman is evil (i mean. yeah lol.), we're a group of adventurers traveling mirkwood with the aim to defend it as sauron slowly gathers power. we are
very
successful at the Fighting And Killing Things part of this
we specialize in:
lugging unconscious bodies through the woods!
lugging DEAD bodies through the woods!
lugging EACH OTHER'S bodies through the woods!
lugging things through the woods in general!
setting things on fire (usually murdoc's fault)!
making fun of our enemies so bad they just give up!
INCLUDING the ringwraiths (shoutout to ríros)!
serving annoying politicians subpoenas!
murdering them like the one time it was totally justified we promise!
accidentally convincing the council of mirkwood that murdoc's inn is a small fiefdom!
being generally cursed (except for ríros) (he just looks that way)!
HIRE US to take care of whatever problems are happening in YOUR local cursed forest! wights? patricidal politicians? generally awful politicians? sauron? the same fucking werewolf again? it's definitely just tuesday to us!
you can count on
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ the union of murdoc 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆
anyhow, jaz is absolutely wonderful and has written several fics of our party, including (but not limited to):
Cooking Contest for the Free Peoples, based on an in-game conversation about beating sauron at competitive cooking,
In Which There Are More Ghosts, which is not canon to game but is in fact Extremely Representative of the exact kind of nonsense we get up to (campaign's haunted),
A Stranger With a Friend's Face, a canon to game horror story of how ríros got slightly possessed, the party acquired maedhros, and neither murdoc nor déorwyn managed to explain the presence of the vengeful ghost residing in murdoc's scepter and bullying him in his dreams to any of the rest of the party right up until this very moment,
and this wonderful drabble from the horror arc in which we were isolated inside of a haunted longhouse. complete with party memes here.
there's more, and i am going to a.) pick on jaz to add them if they can find them, and b.) pick on my beloved friends in general to Please Help Me Infodump About our Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Top to Bottom, Left to Right: Murdoc, the Bearer, Déorwyn, Ríros, Ioreth]

Hi Pia
Your previous post regarding burnout really resonates with me as I'm currently struggling through a mountain's worth of uni assignments.
I hopeyou're being compassionate to yourself where you can. I know you rely on your writing for income but ould cutting down to working on only 2 or 3 fics instead be a viable solution?
Because longterm I don't think that even your insanely impressive skills can hold up to that kind of pressure.
Maybe if you cut back a little you'll be able to enjoy your hobbies again and rest a little more.
I know that I'm not the only reader that wants you to take care of yourself x
Hi anon,
Firstly, good luck with all those assignments! I do not miss the grind of uni when all the assignments suddenly seem due at the same time and it's like 'oh fuck' and it just...is truly exhausting. Remember to take a break after if you can!
I am trying to be compassionate where I can. Working on expanding my capacity / juice left in the tank is actually a big priority with both therapists this year, and it's something I'm actively chipping away at.
Unfortunately cutting down fics is not really something I can do because it would personally stress me out more to put a lot of things on hiatus like that. Underline the Red is already on hiatus, and The Nascent Diplomat on my end is finished, and I'll take a few months off after that before starting the next installment.
Ideally I will be finishing out some fics that will clear my calendar a bit more over time. For example, A Stain that Won't Dissolve won't last forever, and isn't going to be replaced by anything new (Palmarosa will likely slot into that space and I'll be able to work on it more). Underline the Black will be replaced by Underline the Red, and Blue and Gold will be replaced by Underline the Silver.
Eventually, ideally, I'll be working on a smaller and smaller load until I'm at about 2-4 projects (which is how I used to work). Also quite a few of my projects only update once a month or every few months, and that helps a lot. It's just that I have too many fics where I'm on a more regular schedule (Stain, Palm, Black) and normally I only have one or two fics that are on a more regular schedule, so yeah, I am looking forward to that slowing down!
But putting something on hiatus just makes me feel more burdened and overwhelmed than knowing I'm getting closer and closer to wrapping something up. It's just how my brain works! I am a finisher, and while that's really good for not abandoning projects (which is extremely rare for me and tends to only be very short projects or PWPs which I will turn away from), it's less good when I have too many projects lmao. I've gotten better at holding back (there's three fics I'm dying to write right now, which is an Efnisien/Kadek fic that I've already started but not posted anything of, Silver, and Red).
So yeah, I will be cutting back. I've already started. The Nascent Diplomat is no longer on my schedule, which means for the next 3 months while it's still posting, I don't have to write anything for it. That's lovely because I can still share in that world with no extra labour (it's edited and everything). Likewise, Stain and Black are both in their last act/s now. That's still a lot of chapters for both, but it feels good for me to know that both will likely be finished out this year.
But we are getting there! So yeah the view is to cut down on projects, but organically (by finishing out stories and not replacing every single one with new titles, only some of them) rather than forcefully via hiatuses. I mean obviously if I get too sick I will have to go on hiatus and I've done that before, but so far it's looking like I've written enough chapters ahead (most of May is written) that I can take about 2 weeks off from writing in April, and that will help a great deal as well. :)
Anyway, take care with your assignments too! I do not miss that part of uni at all

one aspect that always fascinates me about the witch cult is how much they are used-to-be humans-but-now-not-really-are. they were just people who sometimes were good in the way people are and sometimes were bad in the way people are. and then their lifes had been altered by powers so fundamentally that they just. lost touch with any humanity that they had. how do you comprehend being a hundreds years old? how do you comprehend being able to kill a human as simply as a mosquito? how do you comprehend being beyond time, beyond aging, beyond life and death, beyond your own body, beyond your own memories? it's a horror scenario accepted willingly, horror where instead of running from monster you shake its hand and convince yourself that that's all you ever wanted, because the alternative? the alternative is the existence so miserable you'd rather die than go back. the existence that may ask you to take responsibility for your actions, navigate your own life, change who you are as a person.
they cannot do that. they never could do that. they live for years and years, having powers to do literally anything and yet led by instructions in the book, further and further conservating in the state they were from a start, the moment they took a deal.
doomed from the beginning. never having a chance to escape. never wanting to escape, instead allowing your humanity to slowly seep away as a price for not bearing the weight of that it means to be human. damn.

you know if we do accept the last epilogue-esque sequence as a sort of dream/wish of ted's and therefore not necessarily canon, very funny if we then simply go "yeah, trent's book is called 'the lasso way' actually. he didn't change that. nope."
#listen on one hand#i think that like#i don't think ted actually changed trent's mind about the title#i think trent changed it because ted asked him to#and like that's especially interesting bc he even made a point of being like#'tell me if you disagree with anything and i'll tell you why you're wrong'#but he respects ted; more than that he likes him and he wants him to like the book--like him#anyone else and trent would have told them to fuck off but ted? ted asking him to change the title? yeah#i think he didn't agree with 'it not being about him'--and not bc of any feelings he may have for ted--but if we accept that him changing#the title is canon then like. he did it because ted asked. nothing more nothing less#maybe he felt he owed it to ted as the subject of the book; maybe he just respected him too much not to#maybe it's partially bc of his feelings; maybe it's because he just couldn't say no to ted#but it's ultimately just. because ted asked him.#and trent respects him; trusts him; cares about him#and that's pretty heartwrenching#but like on the other hand if we say 'no that was ted's wishufl thinking trent definitely went 'sorry ted it's called the lasso way''#also like.... him being like. like quietly not changing it and if ted said something him just. being like#ted. i respect you. i care about you. i trust you. but with all due respect absolutely not#yes it isn't ONLY about you but YOU made this happen. YOU are special and YOU have a place here whether you can stay forever or not#yes it's about the team and the coaches yes you aren't a one man band but ted. TED. you touched lives. you changed lives. and that was YOU.#that was you and your philosophy and your attitude.#you made richmond what it is today. yes the team deserve credit too for the kind of bond they have now but YOU facilitated that#none of the coaches currently here woudl be coaches if not for you. the diamond dogs wouldn't exist. literally every single one#of our friends--OUR friends--wouldn't be where they are and probably wouldn't be as happy#you got through to people over and over again who were hurting and lashing out. to rebecca. to roy. to jamie. to nate. to me.#and you can be humble but there's being humble and there's acting like you don't matter to any of us like you didn't have an impact#like you can just leave without a trace. we don't blame you for leaving--i especially don't--but acting like we won't miss you and like#your time with all of us--our time--meant nothing is more insulting than it is humble because we /love you/#and yes. it was the goddamn lasso way that built this place#this community.
