Alone for Christmas

It's Christmas Eve and you realize that there is no way you'll be able to see your parents this year on such short notice. Luckily it seems like someone else dosent have plans either and it may just be someone you've had a crush on for a while.

Spencer x GN reader - no smut just probably some snuggles and kisses

Christmas had come too quickly this year, and while working at the BAU was rewarding it was ridiculously hard , especially during this time of year. I called my parents a few times and told them that unfortunately the case we were on was running long and I couldn't get a flight out in time. They told me that we would just have to have Christmas whenever I could make it over, which made me smile.

" hey did you hear ," Penelope asked as I slowly came back to reality. " Hu...oh uh no sorry I was spaced out," I said nervously. "Well they got him! They'll be home by Christmas Eve," she cheered . I smiled ," that's great but I literally have nothing to do now," I sighed leaning back in my chair. She thought a moment," well... I mean... Spencer is probably free." I could feel heat creeping up my neck, " so." She rolled her eyes," SOOOOO ask him out come on you have movie nights all the time what's so different about this?" " it's CHRISTMAS EVE that's the difference, I maybe will ask him to hang out but the last thing I want is for this to be a day where I lost my best friend due to a little crush," I insisted. She nodded," okay fiiine, me and my guy can drop by and give you some of the dinner I cooked , I always make too much anyway." I smiled," sure that would be great."

Everyone was back and I was drumming nervously on the strap of my back pack. I didn't think he would say no but my mind always jumped to the worst case scenario. " welcome back guys," Garcia greeted causing me to almost jump out of my skin. I looked up and locked eyes with Spencer. I forced a smile and waved. " relax," I heard Garcia whispering as she gently nudged me towards him. I walked over and said ," hey, how was the trip." " it was great we made better time than most trips, I thought we would be snowed in. You know the clouds are the best indicator a storm is coming" I was once again in the Spencer trance. While most people told him to hurry up or get to the point I was stuck enraptured by his words. His voice his passion everything, he was wonderful. " so do you have plans for Christmas," he asked. The question threw me off and I almost didn't answer, I didn't expect that he would bring it up. " oh.. no I wasn't able to get tickets in time," I said beginning to massage my hands to ease my anxiety. He looked a little surprised," oh... well you know I don't have any plans either so we could have a Christmas movie night, I still havnt given you your Christmas present so it'll be perfect." My head was swirling and I felt like I ascended to cloud nine," yes , yeah that would be fun, you know Garcia said she would bring over some food too." " great it's settled I'll go home and grab some clothes and I'll meet you at your place in an hour 35 most likely ," he said scooping up his satchel," see you then" I waved then slumped into an unattended chair, he actually said yes.

I got home and decided to quickly make some of the tub chocolate chip cookies I have in my fridge as something to snack on while we watched a Christmas movie or two. I also stressed out way more than I should have deciding what pair of pjs to wear. I had a limited option but what combo of old shirt and pj pant truly said I'm secretly in love with you. After that I brought out a blanket for the couch and started to heat up milk on the stove to make hot chocolate. Even if there was no dramatic confession I was excited to spend time with him.

Almost exactly as he predicted I hear a light knock at the door one hour and 35 minutes after we had left the BAU. He had an overnight bag and a huge grocery bag as well. " wow what's all this I said helping him with his things. " well I thought we could decorate gingerbread house while we were watching Christmas movies ," he said beaming. My heart almost melted , he brought a secondary activity. " oooOo cookies and hot chocolate," he said excitedly, " perfect! Have you decided which movie we're watching first?" I nodded," it's kind of embarrassing but I havnt watched white Christmas yet and I really love it." He nodded," that's a great choice I love those old musicals. If you want to start it up I'll get the gingerbread houses sorted." I agreed and put on the movie.

Soon enough we were annoyingly singing the songs while we made our houses and drank our filll of hot coco. I tried my best to make the house as good as possible but it still ended up pretty sloppy. After we migrated over to the couch and settled in. We watched the muppet la Christmas carol which Spencer insisted was a must , then home alone, and then we were both fast asleep.

I woke up to the smell of bacon wafting through the air and Christmas music was playing on the radio. I smiled and checked my phone before fully waking up. Garcia sent a text that said " merry Christmas I'll be over at about 11 TELL HIM" I said merry Christmas to her and maybe. As I sat up I noticed there was a plate of half eaten cookies by the small tree I had that now had two presents beneath it. I chuckled, " looks like Santa came aye?" He glanced over ," would you look at that he did!" " thanks for making breakfast," I said stretching. " no problem at all, Thankyou for offering your home to me," he said smiling . I took a cup and poured some coffee in before sitting at the table and gazing outside at the sparkling snow covering the roads, everything seemed so still. And I felt like I did need to tell Spencer, today, now. " hey uh Spence," I asked looking over . He had two plates that he picked up and plopped in front of each of us, " yes?" I poked at my eggs and took a deep breath before saying, " if I say this can you promise our friendship we will be there." He got a worried look on his face as he said , " it depends but I believe so." I swallowed, " ever since i met you I think .... I liked you, like .. maybe even loved. I've had some issues in the past so I didn't think you would like me back. So I hid it. But it's eating me up inside and I'm fine if you don't like me back we can still be friends but I had to tell you." He didn't answer and I risked a glance up at him. He was shocked and his face was beat red, " really?" I nodded anticipating a smooth rejection. " I thought ... you only liked me as a friend too, I ... feel the same way," he stumbled over his words but it seemed to be from excitement. My eyes widened," is .. is that a yes... are we like together?" He laughed, " yes please." We both got up and embraced eachother, I felt tears come out as we stayed there. We both pulled back a bit and kissed. It was better than I thought it would be. He was more forceful than I expected his hands pulling me closer to him, we probably would have stayed like that longer if it wasn't for a kick at the door. It was 11, garcia had impeccable timing. I walked over and opened the door to an overjoyed Garcia who hugged me immediately," did you do it." I nodded and her eyes lit up she looked from me to Spencer , " are you guys?" Spencer tried to hide a smile but also just sheepishly nodded. She squealed in delight and ran over to hug him to, her boyfriend trailing behind her with food and gifts.

The rest of the day was wonderfully lazy. We ate with Garcia and her boyfriend who left quickly after to see his parents. Then we made out a bit more before remembering our presents. We sat underneath the tree and exchanged our presents. I had clumsily attempted to make him some crocheted socks (mismatched of course) but I also got him a first addition copy of " the blind banker" which he was ecstatic about. For me he had remembered how much I loved his 4th doctor scarf and made me one too. I was over the moon and gave him the tightest hug I could.

The rest of the evening we put on various Christmas movies and cuddled and talked. It was wonderful. I was overjoyed at how well this turned out. I honestly could not have been happier than I was now

Comments via Reblog wholeheartly welcome

Early morning at 6am. Alex was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Soon enough she woke up, opened her chocolate-brown eyes and was facing Nik, who's been exercising in his new black sportswear next to their bed.

"...16, 17, 18, 19...", he counted his sit-ups.

Without letting Nik notice that she was awake, she smiled and silently watched him exercise.

"...23, 24, 25..."

When he raised his upper body from the floor at the 25th sit-up, he quickly pulled Alex from the bed towards him on the floor and turned around which made Alex lie under him and Nik hovering over her as he pinned her on the floor.

"Hey??!"

"What? You think I wouldn't notice you watchin me exercise, sleepy head? Now I gotcha, rook.", he smirked.

"Niiiiiik, come on. Yes, you caught me, now could you please stand up?"

"No, I finally got ya'. Got ya' where I want ya'.", he kept staring into her chocolate-brown eyes and moved his face closer to hers to reach her lips.

"Oh no, you don't!!", she giggled and started tickling him. But it didn't work as she expected and surprisingly looked at Nik who smirked and raised an eyebrow.

"Nik, aren't you tickly?", she asked while continued making him laugh and back away.

Looking at her confused girlfriend, he backed away and chuckled.

"I'm not tickly, rook. Now come on, let's get ready."

"For what? It's 6am in the morning.", she asked and both stood up from the floor.

"Let's go for a morning walk and do some jogging outside."

"Nooo, I'm headin to bed. It's too early.", she complained, covered herself back in white blankets and closed her eyes. Watching her softly, he joined her and layed himself next to her on bed. A quick kiss planed on her forehead and rested beside her.

"Nik, can't you just rest for a while. You're always training and exercising."

"I have to be ready for anything. And besides, the reasons to get strong for a man are: Lift girlfriend, lift wife one day and protect other women.", his arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Fiiine, alright. I'll join you then.", she agreed. Then she started tickling him again and tried harder this time, but Nik stayed calm.

"Try harder, rook", he grinned, but after a few seconds he couldn't hold it back anymore, gave up and finally laughed.

"Yesss, you're finally laughing!!!"

"Ah, hey... hahaha... stop now, rook. Hey, stop! Rookie, please!! Okay, yeah, you... you... you got meee!!!!"

Alex stopped tickling him and sat infront of him to get a better look at him. Smiling at him, she apologized.

"Sorry, I just wanted to tickle you see your smile. It's cute. I don't like it if you're playing the serious guy. When you smile, you make me smile too. And you're the reason I can't stop smiling. ", she said and smiled sweetly.

"That's why you were randomly tickling me, huh?!! You are the one that makes me smile already when you're happy, rook. If you wanna keep sleeping longer, you can. It's just... it would be much nicer when you would join me with work-out. You and me, rook. Since you started living with me, it's no fun anymore if I do my usual things alone without you."

"Guess you got more used to it by having me on your side, partner.", she winked and stood up from bed, when suddenly Nik pulled her back which made her sit on his lap.

"Now it's your turn to smile.", he answered and started tickling her. Alex was very tickly and couldn't stop laughing that much.

"Hahahaha... Niiiiiik, haha... Stop, please?!!", she begged.

"That's what I call sweet revenge. Make me stop now, rookie."

Alex really couldn't stop laughing hard which made Nik stop after a few seconds and waited till she calmed herself down.

"Oh Nik, oh my..."

"Alex, you alright? Calm down. Breathe slowly, okay."

"I... I... I'm fine. Don't worry.", she sweetly smiled.

"I didn't know you were tickly, rook. You still okay?"

"Yes, yes, I'm fine. With you, I'll always be fine."

Soon enough, both were ready for a morning jog outside. Nik still patiently waiting in his black sportswear in the livingroom for Alex to change. As she arrived, his eyes widen as he saw her in her tight sportwear, revealing a little skin, her curves, but especially the slim body shape. Her silvery hair was tied into a ponytail.

"Damn, rookie... You... You're hot.", he suddenly felt more attracted by her.

"Oh, thanks. I decided to wear my black sportswear to match with your's. Hey, how do you like my pink sports shoes?"

"Uhhh, they're... very pink."

"Wow, really? I didn't know, thanks", she rolled her eyes and smiled.

A light jog in the fresh air was exactly what the two needed to start their day. Both having a relaxing jog in the almost empty park. The lush park was teeming with vibrant flowers and plants that were both beautiful and fragrant which gave Alex a relaxed and peaceful feeling.

"Such a beautiful day. Hey Nik, don't run so fast. Let's have a relaxing jog."

"Sorry if you're too slow, rook."

"Hey, I'm not slow. I'm definitly faster than you. I challenge you for a race.", she stopped while arguing which made Nik stop too.

"You sure? I don't wanna beat you."

"I'm so sure about it. See that tree over there, let's see who reaches it first. By the count of three, we both start running.", Alex challenged the guy as she pointed at a lonely standing tree at the other side of the park.

Nik agreed and both got into their positions, making themselves ready for the race. They fairly wished eachother good luck and by the count of three, they began the race. Sprinting across the park. Nik was leading, but Alex wasn't far for him, slowly trying to gain the lead.

"Come on rook, faster!!"

"I... I... I'm almost", she pushed harder with all her might. After a few more steps, she finally managed to take the lead. When the couple finally neared the old tree at the end, it was indeed Alex who first reached it which surprised Nik.

"Damn, well done. You won.", he confessed and slowly fell on the grass for rest while Alex leaned against the tree. Both desperatly catching for air and trying to slow their breathing. When they were done, they slowly walked back, down the tiny hill where their little race first began.

"Hey, Nik... Could you show me some cool new moves? Let's train.", she stopped walking to seek his attention.

"Fine. How about this?", he stopped walking, stood behind her so that he felt her back leaning against his chest. With his arm around her waist, he moved his foot towards between her feet and shove them apart.

"Woah, Nik... And then?", she almost lost balance but then maintained it.

"And then I have you, so the next step is this...", he planted a kiss from behind and chuckled.

"Niiiiiik, not those moves of your's. Teach me your other moves. Some fighting and punching.", she moved away from him and mimicked to deliver a few punches while jumping up and down which made Nik laugh.

"How cute, my silly rook. Fine, let's go and find the perfect place for training.", he suggested and both strolled around until they found a wide, secluded area in the park with enough space for training.

But this secluded corner of the park was also the perfect place for a romantic moment between lovers, because they weren't alone. Not far away they spotted two familar figures sitting on a bench while gently stroking eachother's bodies. Their backs turned towards Nik and Alex. They definitly couldn't see them, but Nik and Alex could.

"Oh my, are that...??!!", she discovered with Nik. It looked like they were having a conversation and laughing.

"Well, whatever. Let's leave them alone and give them some space. We..."

"Nik, look!!!", Alex cupped his face and turned it towards the couple infront of them, so he would see what she's meaning. Their eyes widen as they discovered Luc who joined Vera on the bench suddenly stood up and got on one knee.

"Damn, is Luc... Is he gonna propose to Vera? Were they secretly dating the whole time and... Ouch!! Heeeey, what was that for?", he complained as Alex delievered a strong punch on his shoulders and glared at him.

"This was for the wedding proposal which I still haven't received from you. Learn something from Luc, he's so romantic and just proposed to Vera while I'm still waiting for you to propose to me. I bet Luc's already planning his future and family with Vera. But you, Nik..."

"Woaaah, slow down. Hold the horse, rook and take a closer look.", he answered and pointed back towards Luc and Vera.

On his knee, Luc wasn't holding a ring to propose to Vera Reimonenq. Instead he held a rose towards his blushing lover. It took the young Reimonenq a bit time until the blushing and overwhelmed feeling faded away. She finally dared to pull him closer for a passionate kiss as Luc stood up from his knee. Alex gasped, but Nik quickly managed to cover her mouth to not disturb the couple infront of them.

"Let's leave 'em alone, rook.", he wispered, but Alex didn't listened to him and quietly consumed the lovers infront her which made her happy.

Now Luc held the flower between his teeth, took Vera's gloved hand in his his and both twirled and danced in eachother's embrace without taking their eyes away from eachother.

"They're so perfect for eachother, Nik. I'll ship them from now on as Lu-era or Lu-ra. Just look at the lovely couple."

"There's no music. Why do they dance then?"

"Because they're in love, Nik. Love makes everything possible."

"Yeah, that's cute and all, but I don't know about Luc. He basically flirts with everyone. Hope he doesn't hurt Vera's feelings. She seemed a nice and innocent girl. And rook, you shouldn't mention that we saw them like this. I think they should tell us about their relationship when they feel ready."

"Ugggh, fiiiine. Nik, why are you always so right? You have no idea how much I want to congratulate them, but... Well... Okay, fiiiine. We'll keep it a secret.", she sighed and left together with Nik to give the newly discovered couple some more privacy.

Luc gracefully danced with Vera in his arms and at the end, holding her tight to dip her. With that, they finished their romantic dance and took back their places on the park bench. Luc gave Vera her rose, took her gloved hand to plant a kiss.

"You're so beautiful, ma chérie. Never have I ever seen such a beauty like you before, Vera chérie. Mon amour.", he confessed and kissed her hand again.

"Ooooh, Luc...", she shyly met his warm gaze and stroked his cheek.

"Je t'aime, Vera."

"Je t'aime aussi. I love you too, Luc. I was so shy and well... Thank you for everything. For trying to break the Reimonenq curse. And I'm glad we're together."

"I'll do anything for you, Vera. I never thought we'll become that close. I mean, I flirt with anyone handsome and beautiful, but you... Why should I flirt with anyone when I have you, Vera chérie?", he kissed her hand again.

"I don't like it when you flirt with others."

"And I won't do it. I'll surrender. I have you. I don't find anyone attractive anymore because of you. You're truely a blessing. A beauty, mon amour. You make me the happiest man in all realms. I love you."

"I never thought beeing in love would be so... so beautiful. Seeing first Alex happy with Nik, I secretly wished to find someone else too... My other half, but now I think I already have now."

"Really?", he grinned.

"Oui, Luc. You're my other half. My love. You're the reason I can't stop smiling. ", she giggled and pinched Luc's nose.

Both laughing, talking and enjoying eachother's company while Luc let Vera lean against him. Her head on his shoulder while his arms wrapped around her waist. After a few minutes of calm silence, Luc began to spoke.

"When will we meet again like this, ma chérie? I don't want to keep our relationship a secret anymore. Everytime we were around with friends, I had to control myself. So many times, I wanted to hug you, kiss you, but I can't. Not until you're ready to finally announce our relationship, Vera. When?"

"Oh Luc, don't you understand? What will everyone think when they found out that a Reimonenq and a witch are dating, when our families had conflicts which eachother for centuries?"

"I'll try to convince my mother somehow, I promise. No witch will have a problem with us, I promise. I'll keep you happy and safe. As long as we have eachother, nothing will seperate us.", he lightly brushed a kiss on her forehead.

"You're right. I'm not scared of my mother and her goons. Besides, my mom has nothing against the witches because she considers the Reimonenq touch as a gift. And if her goons ever try to scare you, don't worry. I'll always be with you. Nobody will try to harm you. Luc, let's finally announce our love.", she proudly spoke.

"Oui, c'est vrai. I love you, ma chérie."

"I didn't know you were tickly, rook. You still okay?"

"Yes, yes, I'm fine. With you, I'll always be fine."

This is so cute!!!! 😍😍😍

Oh my God! Boys, I think we’re getting out the strong stuff for this session.

Well, I did go to grandma first to see if she sort out the situation but I didn't like how she handle it and I thought she was siding against me.

Really, how exactly did that happen...?

Well, she ask the kids and their parents a few questions, I figure she was gonna chew them out or punish them but instead that didn't happen...

...

Date: July 5th, 2002

So if I am to understand this right, my granddaughter had put pins in that girl's shoes and then her brother decided to retaliate?

HEADMASTER: That's exactly what happen but as say, that was what we seen...

I see... thank you, now then Hiyoko; can you explain what exactly happen?

We-Well that girl was trying to be better then me at dancing when I was practicing and after that her brother put pins in my shoes because she wanted to take my place!

No she wasn't, first off she just admire your dance and your really upset about it because she was better which your being insecure and then you put pins in her shoes, I saw you do it!

He-Hey, stop fighting Keiichi...

WOMEN: Exactly Keiichi, I know that what that girl did wasn't okay but you still shouldn't have done that.

But...But she started it mom!

Look, it doesn't matter who started it or not; the thing is that you decided to act in this way, frankly I would of done much worse to you if you weren't a child.

After all, I feel as the older sibling - you should set an example for your younger sister, given that she didn't want this but yet you decided to attack her, do you think that's a good idea?

...But still-.

Enough Keiichi, you shouldn't have done that at all; you hurt Hiyoko so just stop, okay?

Hm, at least your sister realize it but it seems you had no idea he did this, correct?

No, I didn't and I never even told him about this all; I was with some friends, I walk down the hall, heard Hiyoko screaming and saw Keiichi telling her off and he put pins in her shoes; so I had no idea about this at all.

Hmph...liar...

Hiyoko, enough; I heard that, now keep quiet...

eek!!

Anyway, if it is true that Emiri had no idea then I'll let it be but I do expect that boy to apologize, alright?

KEIICHI AND EMIRI'S MOM: Very well, Keiichi... can you please apologize to Hiyoko? I do think she should get an apology.

...Fine, I'm sorry for putting pins in your shoes, there happy?

Hmph, that apology isn't good; you should do better...

Oooh, maybe get on your knees and beg for mercy, maybe walk on pins too since you did the same to me!

*Smacks upside the head* OW!

Hiyoko, don't say those things! Just accept the apology.

Fiiine, sorry for picking on your sister... can I go now?

HEADMASTER: Very well, you can leave... have a good day and I'm sorry for bringing you 2 in.

KEIICHI AND EMIRI'S MOM: Thank you, let's go you 2...

*After that the 2 kids leave which then Hiyoko and Izumi walk out as well*

Seriously Grandma, why didn't you punish them - they deserve so much worse.

Well first off, they are children - they'll grow out of it and even then you should do the same as well.

From what that Emiri girl had say, it seem you got insecure because she dance better then you when if anything you driven someone that was interested in our traditional dance and Japanese culture, that isn't a good thing for an heir to do.

But why not?! I'm suppose to be the heir to the clan, she was showing me up!

No she wasn't, now please stop doing this already dear; if you have an issue with her then just ignore her and work on your talent instead of focusing on others - you'll be better for it, now let's go home.

*Izumi walks away, as Hiyoko glare at her...*

'I did not like Grandma's response at all, she just told me it was for the good of the clan but honestly the way she runs things pisses me off...'

Challenge ◇ Tiger’s Guide to Losing your Mind Part 11

⊶⊰Information & Index⊱⊷⊶⊰Part 1⊱⊷⊶⊰Chronological⊱⊷

───────────────────────────────────────

Okay, maybe the haunted house isn’t so bad. I mean, look at how cute this spirit is! And she can attempt communication with him.

Well, this is mildly concerning.

It’s probably fiiine. She just has to mop it up and go about her business. No big deal.

I went back to the park and I made her fish while I checked for collectibles. I did NOT expect her to catch a cowplant berry so I didn’t get any pics of it 😦 She does look happy about it, though. Like, “oh yeah, this challenge is a piece of cake!”

Oh, if only you knew, my sweet summer child, if only you knew…

We also FINALLY bred a new frog!

You know what that means! Time to spin the wheel and check off another spot on the ol’ bingo card.

4/25 isn’t too bad! Now we have to work on our handiness skill so we can get to the Forgotten Grotto. I tried having her wash her hands at the park like 20 times but the fecker refused to break. Someone had pranked the toilet, though, so… sorry, girl, but we gotta do what we gotta do!

See? Now we can fix it c:

“Why couldn’t this have waited until another day?” Gun muttered, unbuttoning his shirt, letting it slide off his taut frame, and neatly folding it, placing it onto the roof of his car. He was glad he hadn't put his jacket on, having left it in his passenger seat. “I can’t dirty my clothes again, [Name] will be mad if I get blood on it.” He rolled his broad shoulders until they released a satisfying crack, his thick muscles bulging as he stretched his arms across his scarred chest. Gun peered at a nearby store, the digital clock displaying in big white numbers, ‘7:45 PM’. He groaned, his lips curling into a scowl whilst his arms fell to his side. He didn’t have enough time to deal with this.

“Hmm, and it’s almost time for our date. Fuck.” Gun whispered to himself. He clenched his fists, narrowing his eyes at the man across from him. He removed his shades and revealed his dark gaze, placing his favorite accessory to his side as well. “I’ll make this quick, Goo. I have more important places to be.”

Goo laughed, grinning in his spot as he balanced a pole in his hands. He rolled his eyes, arching a brow at his partner. “Tsk, tsk, tsk, Gun, maybe if you didn’t spend all your time by [Name]’s side, we could have dealt with this matter much earlier. That girl has you wrapped around her pretty little finger, huh?”

“Shut it,” Gun said, already racing towards the blonde and thrusting his fist, knuckles colliding with metal. Upon the cold sensation meeting his skin, he wanted to absolutely kill Goo and rip him to shreds. This would take longer than he wanted, wasting his already precious, short time. He backed off, having a considerable distance between the two, stretching his fingers a few times before clenching them again. He growled, spitting venomously, “You just like picking fights.”

“You did too. Before you met her, y’know,” Goo tutted, waving his finger in the air. He scoffed, voice low, “Who would’ve thought? Gun going soft for a girl. Psh, pathetic. Never thought I’d live to see the day...” The blonde trailed off, his face becoming stoic, his mind wandering. You truly had to be someone exceptional if you managed to have a guy like Gun to fall for you. He always wondered who you were, how you looked like, what you did, but Gun had kept you a secret from the world of crime. He hid almost every known trace abou you and tied every loose end that implicated you existed. No one knew who you were and no one could find you — unless Gun allowed them to.

Goo found it so irritating how he was unable to know the girl who made such a notorious gangster go soft.

He only met you once and that was by pure sheer luck; dropping by unexpectedly at one of Gun's apartments, only to be met with the sight of you. Seeing how Gun reacted, he knew you were supposed to be kept hush-hush. But boy, did he have a field day the next time he saw the man.

Goo had to meet you again. Or at least, know you more.

Only when Gun’s fist connected with Goo’s face did the man snap out of his thoughts, the impact of such force throwing him a few feet backwards. He dug his feet into the floor, a high-pitched screech coming from his shoes as the rubber burned against the pavement. With his sleeve, Goo wiped his cheek, seeing a speck of blood staining his clothes. Goo chuckled, standing up straight with a grin, “If I can remember right, you told me you got Eli Jang in trouble for basically the same thing. What was her name again? Heather?”

Goo blocked the upcoming attack, his pole raised and crossed above his face. He pushed Gun back with an effortless swing of the pole. He tilted his head and scratched the back of his head with his free hand. “How is [Name] any different from Heather? What does she have on you?”

Gun twisted his neck gently until he heard a crack, looking back at Goo as he hissed with venom, “Nothing.”

“Let me think, let me think….” Goo hummed, racking his mind for any possibility that someone like Gun would stay with a woman longer than one night. His face lit up and he broke out into a wide grin, pointing a finger at Gun. “Aha! You got the poor girl knocked up, right?! See, I always tell you to wear protection! Just couldn’t keep it in your pants, hm? Shaaame.”

“Ugh, fuck no. I don’t want kids and neither does she. We made that clear at the beginning," Gun said with a sneer, annoyed beyond comprehension at Goo's antics.

“Awe, I really thought she held something over you. How about this: I’ll stop fighting you if you tell me why you’re still with such a pretty girl like [Name]? Deal?" Goo offered, slinging the pole onto his shoulder. His eyes darkened as he spat maliciously, knowing each word would wind and rile Gun's emotions. "She deserves better than a perverted gangster, you both know that.”

Gun stayed silent, the corners of his lips tugging down into a frown. Goo’s last words struck a chord in him, sending a pang through his heart upon hearing an insecurity he’ll never admit to. Of course. Everyone told you to stay away from a man like Gun. People kept telling you you will only get hurt in the end, that a better man will come along and sweep you off your feet if you just waited, or you could always do better than him. But you never listened. You stayed by his side, even when the whole world looked down on you two. Even for months, he tried convincing himself he felt nothing for you, but after a while, he finally accepted that someone managed to tear down his walls and enter his hollow, cold heart — you.

You were just a different kind of girl - no- a different kind of woman. A special woman he had the pleasure of meeting. One he wouldn’t dare let go of now that he has the privilege of calling you ‘mine’. And by any god out there, he won’t be a stupid fool to lose you.

Gun sighed. “I tell you and you’ll put this stupid fight behind us, right?”

Goo placed a hand over his chest, replying shortly, “You have my word.~”

“[Name] is just that special person you meet once in your life. One you know you can’t let go of because there isn’t another like her. Simple as that.”

“What?! Ugh, don’t be boring! Tell me more!”

“You asked why I stayed with her and I told you.”

“Yeah, but I expected a story, not some sad attempt at an old man’s wise words.”

A low guttural sound rumbled in Gun’s throat, his eye twitching. “Maybe when I’m in a better mood I’ll tell you, but if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with my woman.”

Goo groaned and tossed his pole to the side, rolling his eyes and grumbling, "Fiiine, but you owe me a story. "

"Whatever—damnit," Gun looked at the clock once again and his face contorted into one of pure irate. "I'm late."

'8:12 PM'

✦✦✦ ✦✦✦

Your head rested on your hand, balancing a glass of wine between your fingers, twirling the cup as the liquid swished around. Your eyes were looking down on the glory of Gangdong, the shimmering, blinding lights of the city mesmerizing you. The city always looked beautiful at this time of night. You just wished you could enjoy it with the person you cherished. A sigh leaves your lips and you look away, eyes trailing to the other tables over the balcony.

The lingering eyes of many strange men didn't faze you anymore, the two burly boys surrounding your table always making them avert their gaze as fast as it landed. A courtesy of your boyfriend, who was at least thirteen minutes late, who insisted on you needing to be guarded at all times. You knew if he were here, no one would dare to even breathe in your direction, let alone glance.

The cool air pricked your skin and a shiver passed through your body, reminding you of where you were. For a man as smart as him, Gun tended to neglect keeping the season in mind when planning your dates. Nonetheless, you were happy he went out of his way to take you out on such a busy schedule.

You jumped in your seat, snapping out of your thoughts. A jacket was wrapped around your frame, warmth immediately enveloping you as the fabric made contact with your bare skin. You looked up and smiled.

Gun stood behind you, towering over your sitting form as he made sure you were nice and covered. His coat basically swallowed you whole. A small stuffed animal was tucked under his arm, it’s fluffy fur peeking out. He walked over to take his seat, pulling the chair out, and wasting no time to slip in. He waved to the guards and they nodded, beginning to clear the scene of people.

“Sorry I’m late, [Name],” Gun started, taking the stuffie out from underneath his arm and presenting it to you. Oh, how adorable. "I brought you a gift as an apology."

A small brown otter sat in his palms, barely taking up Gun's hands. It’s beady, plastic eyes looked straight at you, a little smile stitched onto its snout. A snort left you. The sight of such a well-dressed, intimidating man carrying such an adorable toy was amusing. "Really now? Just a cute toy, Gun?"

Gun sighed and sat up a bit from his chair, leaning over the table, and cupping your face as he planted a gentle kiss on your cheek. As quick as it started, Gun's lips left and he was seated once again. You pout. "Don't give me that look, [Name]. We can do more at home if you want but not here."

"It's not wrong to be disappointed in no kiss on the mouth after not seeing your boyfriend for such a long time. Don't you think I deserve it?"

Gun smirked, placing his shades on the table and taking your hand, intertwining your fingers together. He gave a light squeeze and you didn't miss a beat as you squeezed his coarse hand back. The way you pursed your lips and looked at him with such glossy, innocent eyes made his heart swell. With such a pretty, cute face, it was hard to say no to you. "Hmm, maybe. But Olly told me you crossed paths with Hostel A." Gun spoke, slipping his hands from yours and picking up his dinnerware, quickly cutting the savory meat into pieces. He didn't hesitate to put a piece up to your mouth, a hand underneath so as to not have the juice leak. "I was told you nearly broke the Uncles' bones and Big Daddy himself."

Your face scrunched up and you scoffed, shaking your head. You placed the stuffed animal to the side, petting it. "Figured those assholes wouldn’t tell you everything. The ‘uncles’ wouldn’t leave me alone and I thought Olly was another one of those bastards,” you snap, sitting back in your seat with a scowl. “How was I supposed to know he was trying to help when he dresses like that? I thought he was trying to assault me for God’s sake!”

Gun placed down his fork on his plate and his face twisted into one of fury, eyes turning cold and rigid as all the warmth disappeared whilst his lips curled back into a nasty frown. You almost thought his infamous scowl was directed towards you, but you knew better. You dear boyfriend wouldn't dare lay a single finger on you if it didn't bring you pleasure. "They what?"

You smiled softly, placing your hand over his as it clenched into a fist. With your small attempt at trying to soothe him by rubbing small circles, you spoke with a bit of hesitation, "Ah, yeah. They kept trying to get my number and wouldn't let me leave the booth I was in. I had no other choice than to use the training you taught me. Since I never met Olly, I really thought he was just another one of them and I reacted before thinking, making me attack him too."

Gun scoffed, shaking his head as he listened to your explanation with disbelief, every word fueling his rage of someone daring to hit on his woman. Every fiber in Gun's body screamed, wanting to feel their skin underneath his fists as he pounded them into oblivion. But the only thing stopping him was his date with you. For now, he'll put his anger aside to be with you and keep you happy. Who knows how long he'll be gone and when he'll see you again. The man has to make every second count.

Yet, he couldn’t let this go unpunished.

"Fuck." Gun leans closer to you and sits on the edge of his chair. Placing his hand over yours, he slips his fingers to grasp your palm, and lifts your hand to his lips, pressing tender kisses against your knuckles. His thumb grazing softly across your fingers and his eyes flutter shut. You couldn't help but stare in awe, never quite seeing him like this.

So careful with you, so gentle, you were surprised he wasn't seething in his seat and threatening to break their heads open. Gun opens his eyes and looks up at you, shaking in his seat. “I promise I’ll have those fuckers begging on their knees for your forgiveness. They should know better than to treat a woman with such rudeness and disrespect. Shit, I’ll go right now. I’ll beat them till-”

Your sweet laugh reaches his ears, cutting him off from his little speech. You lean in and pull in his hand to your lips, pressing a tender peck to his coarse knuckles. Gun felt his heart race and skip a beat at the sight, shock crossing his features. You look up, looking at your boyfriend with mirthful eyes. “As much fun as that sounds, I'd rather you stay here. Please? I want to spend as much time with you before you go back to work.”

The man stayed silent for a few seconds, taking in your words. He looked away, clicking his tongue before he broke out into a small smile, a blush blooming across his cheeks and the tip of his ears burning a bright red. “Of course, [Name]. Though, you could’ve just said you like spending time with me.”

Giggling, you lower your hands and shake your head. “Gun, of course I like spending time with you. You’re my favorite person and I love you after all.” Your voice said those three words with such fondness, it’s as if the man was in a dream.

If your words from before didn’t send Gun over the edge, your proclamation of love surely did now. He looked down, grinning like an idiot, showing a soft, bashful side he’s never revealed to anyone before. He swore his heart would jump out of his throat from how fast it was pounding against his ribcage. Gun grasped your hand tightly and sighed blissfully, Gently, he spoke, gazing at you with loving eyes, “I love you too.”

You smiled.

The tension in the air grew to be too much and both of you found it unbearable, wanting to do what both of you have been waiting for for weeks.

Both of you sat up and leaned over the table, closing the gap between you two as your lips interlocked, slipping together like if you were made for eachother. The kiss sparked and fed the fire both of you held in your hearts, burning brighter with every moment you spent at one another’s side. Gun couldn’t help but smile against your mouth.

As much as he hated being apart from you for so long, moments like these made the long hours worth it. If working so much meant he could provide for you, then he wouldn't mind doing it for the rest of his life if you had a roof over your head and a nice, warm meal at night.

Afterall, you were his woman.

And he loved you.

So… Encanto owns my whole brain right now and here’s some kinda angsty kinda fluffy Triplets oneshot whatever thingy!

—————————————————————

Bruno couldn’t be happier then he is right now, back with his family, and his sisters not having to sneak around and behind walls to get a glimpse of his nieces and nephews, being able to enjoy a party with the whole town again.

Well maybe he could wait on that last part, he’s not sure the town’s opinion of now, after everything; they’ve been nice so far but after ten years with no one but rats to talk to, even the kindest people can start to become too much.

Bruno looked around one more time before slinking out the backdoor of the house.

It was full of lively music and conversation and love and joy, he wanted so badly to stay and soak it all in, but he was starting to feel unwell a few minutes into the party.

He forced himself to stay and enjoy until he felt like he was choking on energy from the crowd and had no choice but leave or explode.

After he’d snuck a yard or two away he was finally able to breathe; cool crisp open air, he’d missed that behind the walls.

He could still smell the food Julieta was cooking, as much as he loves her cooking he couldn’t get himself to stomach it right now.

He walked back to the house and sat under the kitchen window and closed his eyes.

The smell of the food, the voices of his family all felt so familiar from here that if not for a light breeze he might have imagined himself back inside the walls.

He let out a shaky sigh, ten years of isolation, not something to get over in a night, or even a few nights.

How long exactly he doesn’t know, all he does know right now is how badly he longs to be inside enjoying himself and how painful it was to be there; a voice whispering in his ear that he still shouldn’t be there and that this was all a dream and the minute he wakes up he’ll be alone again.

“God please...don’t let me be alone again...or at least don’t make me wake up”.

Julieta just happened to be by that window as Pepa came to ask if she’d seen Bruno; the two were hushed when a soft familiar voice whispered out the window

“god please...dont let me be alone again...or at least don’t make me wake up...”

The two exchanged concerned looks and swiftly moved to the backdoor.

It only took a few seconds of searching for the sisters to find their missing brother, curled in a ball under the kitchen window, invisible to the world.

They quietly snuck up and sat on ether side .

Bruno sat with his back against the wall, facing the sky with closed eyes, they copied him; the trio in silence until Bruno sighed loudly

“What are you two doing out here?”

“I was going to ask you the same thing”

“Julieta...” Bruno drawled

“I’m here too you know.” Pepa poked playfully siting up; Julieta gave her a half smile; Bruno didn’t.

He just slumped forward into his knees in silence.

“Bruno? Is, everything ok?” Julieta asked sliding closer to him

“Oh yeah, yeah everything’s fine ya know” he chuckled “as long as you ignore that I can’t be in a room with more then...our family without feeling like I’m dying! So yeah, everything’s fiiine.”

“Bruno-“ Pepa started

“A-and it’s not like I don’t want to be in there, I’d love to but I-I just can’t.

Not yet anyway...

Sorry, I’m ruining the din-“

Bruno wasn’t allowed to finish his thought because of his sisters nearly crushing him in a hug

“Don’t you finish that sentence Bruno Madrigal.” Pepa scolded

“You didn’t ruin anything hermanito” Julieta comforted “we only just finished the house, and more people came then we expected”

“It’s ok if it’s too much right now, you can work up to it”

“But-“

“Ah-ah-ah. No butts.” The eldest quipped

“And we’re not letting you go until you feel better.” Pepa stated firmly, Julieta nodding in agreement.

“Can you at least let me breathe?”

“No” they said in unison.

Bruno sighed again resigned to his fate.

After a while of silence they felt Bruno shift around in their embrace until he freed his arms and gave them both a gentle squeeze.

“Thank you for finding me this time” he muttered, his voice on the verge of breaking

“Of course we found you”

“I...didn’t think you could hear me...”

“We heard you from the window” Pepa said gesturing to the window above them

“Why wouldn’t we hear you?”

Bruno played with the edge of his poncho uneasily “Because, you didn’t...for 10 years...”

His sister exchanged unsettled looks but said nothing, because he was right.

“Bruno, look at me”

He hesitantly looked up at Julieta with red eyes and face; she held his face gently

“I promise you that from now on, we’ll always find you. Ok?”

Bruno chewed his lip to try and keep tears from running down his face again, but feeling his sister wipe them away made him stop and give her a nodding answer.

He pulled her into a tight hug, Pepa quickly Joining as well Promising to never let him leave again.

Maybe getting used to other people would take time, but having his sisters with him, would make it much easier

Word count: 2.7k

》Next《》Masterlist《

It's fairly early when you leave your home for college, around 7am something. The air around you is still fairly crisp and cool, but you're not bothered. Others would be shaking if they went outside in just skinny jeans and a simple sweater when it's 0°C outside.

But you? You're not bothered in the slightest as you calmly walk down the street and towards the giant building.

It's metallic cover reflects the sunlight, slightly blinding you in the process. It makes you squint and avert your eyes.

"Y/N!"

Your head turns in the direction of the call and you see your best friend jogging towards you with a bright grin. "Oh, hey."

"Good morning!" He beams, way too enthusiastic for your liking at this hour.

A demonstrative yawn escapes you as you lazily wave at him. "Morn'..." You mumble and wipe the tears out of your eyes which gathered due to your yawn.

"Aren't you gonna give your bestie a hug?" He pouts and his dimples make an appearance. "I'm disappointed."

A chuckle escapes you before you turn towards him completely and give him his desired display of affection.

A happy sigh escapes him as he tightly slings his arms around you. "I'm never letting you go, it's too cold!" He whines when you move to break the hug.

"Wear warmer clothes then, you buffoon." You mumble, struggling to push him away and ultimately just giving up.

"Nahh, why would I do that when I have my personal heater right under my nose?" He teases.

"Shut up and let me go, we have classes soon." You whine and push at his chest again.

He relents with a high pitched laugh as he watches you stumble back, his arms letting go easier than expected and making you lose your balance for a few seconds.

"You fucker" You hiss while taking big, fast steps towards your destination.

"My baby! Don't be mad!" Your friend whines while jogging to match your pace.

"It's not even 8 yet and the two of you are already having a quarrel." A new voice joins the two of you.

Startled by the sudden intervention, you whip your head to pinpoint the source and find another guy of your friend group.

"Sangyeon? Where did you come from?" You ask, eyes moving up to meet his.

"You must have forgotten that I always meet you at this section in the road, tsk." The older one answers and shakes his head.

"Sorryyyy" You say with a chuckle, "but Changmin here decided to be an ass first thing in the morning! It's his fault"

"HUH??" The culprit screeches in surprise, "Excuse me??"

"Be quiet you two, I don't need a headache right before classes."

"Sorryy" Changmin and you chime in unison, "dad." the former adds and snickers, earning himself a glare from Sangyeon.

The three of you continue on the rest of the way in silence and you couldn't be more grateful. Your mind is not yet in the right place for any intellectual conversation.

The enormous college building towers in front of you all as you reach the campus.

"Ohh look, the others are already here!" Changmin happily points out, proceeding to skip towards said friend group.

Sangyeon and you exchange an amused glance before also walking towards them.

"Morning everyone." You wave at the guys and they all greet you back.

"Y/N my love!" Your other best friend exclaims and jumps to hug you, "I'm so glad you're finally here! Please warm me up, I'm freezing!"

The other guys laugh at their youngest friend's antics, you included. Nonetheless you proceed to hug him around his middle and make use of your powers. Your skin immediately heats up to a nice and cozy temperature and the guy hums in relief.

"You're such a baby." You chuckle and pat his broad back affectionately.

"Classes start in about 10 minutes, we can go inside now."

"Oh, look who decided to show up." Sangyeon teases.

"What? Why would I show up half an hour before classes?" Said newcomer replies. "I can take all the time I need, unlike you guys~"

"Stop being arrogant, Hyun." The oldest playfully scolds.

"Now now, don't fight." Jacob intervenes, voice clearly expressing his worry.

"Hold on, what class do we have now?" You suddenly realize and look up to meet Sunwoo's eyes.

"Uhh I'm pretty sure it's chem." He replies, now looking at Younghoon for confirmation.

"Yeah" he nods. "We should go, it's all the way on the top floor of the building."

Sunwoo and you groan in unison, totally not thrilled on having to walk up 10 flights of stairs.

"I actually also have chemistry, but in another course." Jaehyun says, "It's on the same floor though."

The three of you guys look at your friend with hope.

"Urgh, fiiine." He groans, already knowing exactly what you were all going to ask of him.

"Yay!" You beam happily and peel yourself away from Youngjae. "Sorry hun but you gotta get inside quickly to stay warm I guess."

He grumbles something inaudible and you immediately attach yourself to Jaehyun's arm instead and give him a smile. "You're the best, Hyunnie!"

He can't help the amused smile to crawl onto his lips. "I know."

You hear Sunwoo make a gagging sound, prompting you to laugh. "Let's go now."

"Sure, sure." Jaehyun hums and within a second the four of you are up on the top floor.

"Thank you~" You happily chime and stand on your tiptoes to press a quick kiss to the man's cheek. Then you turn around, link arms with Sunwoo and Younghoon and drag them into your chemistry classroom with a content smile on your face.

Both men exchange a glance at that interaction and internally behead Jaehyun for having his useful ability.

When Sunwoo turns his head to look at the older guy, Jaehyun shows him a priggish smirk and waves before disappearing.

"He really-"

"Good morning you three!" Your teacher greets and Sunwoo immediately stiffens, startled by the voice. "Class starts in 5 minutes, find your seats!"

"Yes ma'am!" The three of you reply and give a quick bow before scurrying to your seats.

"Miss Im is so scary…" Younghoon shudders and you nod.

—

Your teacher had given the class an experiment to work on in groups of three. Funnily enough, a student had broken one of the school's bunsen burners, so now your group was without one.

"Great, just great" Miss Im angrily says under her breath.

"Miss" You say and raise your hand. She looks at you and nods. "I can use my power instead for fire-"

"Under no circumstance will you do that!" She immediately shoots down your idea and raises her voice. "What if you set fire to something in here? You could hurt us!"

You don't know what to say, feeling at a loss for words at her sudden outburst. Sunwoo and Younghoon notice your shaking hands and glare at the teacher.

"Did you really have to lash out at her like that? She just suggested it!" Sunwoo angrily replies and stands up from his chair, smacking the table. "We all here have been living with our powers ever since we were 5! We have them under control! Y/N would never hurt someone on purpose!"

Younghoon had hugged you close to calm your anxiety down while everyone just watched and listened to Sunwoo's outburst.

Then it was quiet for a moment, Miss Im too stunned to say anything back and the rest of the class only agreed with him.

Sunwoo was quite literally charged, you could see little lightning bolts dancing all over him.

"Sunwoo…" You quietly say and he looks at you. "It's okay."

He takes a deep breath and shoots the teacher another sharp glare.

She clicks her tongue angrily and just ignores this incident, instead opting to not grade your group on this one.

—

After class ends the three of you quickly make your way downstairs and onto the campus to meet the others. Sunwoo was stubbornly clinging onto your arm with an annoyed pout on his face.

"Hey Sunwoo." you speak up and nudge him so he looks at you. "Thank you for interfering."

He gives you a tight-lipped smile and says "No big deal."

"Thank you too Hoonie." you turn to the older guy and give him an affectionate smile which he returns shyly.

"Oh look, the troublemakers are coming." Someone teases when the three of you proceed on your way towards your friend group.

You turn to glare at the person, your red eyes flaring dangerously and they immediately look away, visibly flustered.

"Hey hey, we already heard you guys got in trouble." Jacob says first when you are within hearing range. "What happened? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, we're fine." You answer and wave him off, but the way he eyes Sunwoo tells you that's not what he wanted to hear.

"Miss Im went off on Y/N after she offered to use her powers for the experiment because a burner was missing." Younghoon explains and you feel Sunwoo tighten his group on your arm even further. "A- Sunwoo what's gotten into you?" You exclaim to him and prod at his arm to give you some room.

"I'm sorry Noona, I'm just still mad at Miss Im." He mumbles and hides his face on your shoulder.

"Stop being a baby." Juyeon speaks up and pries the younger one from you… well he tries. "Argh, let go already! Chanhee, come help me out!"

"Wha- Hyung what am I supposed to do??" The younger one replies incredulously.

"Just help me get this walking taser off of Y/N!"

You snort at that exclamation and Sunwoo gives Juyeon a pointed look. "Did you really just call me a walking taser?!"

"So what if I did?"

"Unbelievable." Chanhee shakes his head, but an amused smile plays at his lips nonetheless.

Your eyes basically scream 'help me!!' As you look at Youngjae, the youngest out of you all gives you a laugh before nodding. And suddenly Sunwoo's grip on you loosens and you quickly peel yourself away and hide behind the culprit. "Thanks Jae." you snicker against his arm as you peek out to look at a confused Sunwoo.

"Yah!" He literally screams, making all of you flinch besides Changmin. "Youngjae I swear-"

"Enough now, kids!" Sangyeon finally steps in and silences Sunwoo quickly. He pouts and crosses his arms in front of his chest.

You move from behind Youngjae to stand to his left, now in between him and Changmin.

"Ohh guys!" The latter suddenly speaks up with sparkly eyes and everyone looks at him. "How about we have a sleepover at my house this weekend? We're free next week so we can have some fun together!"

Everyone quickly makes eye contact with the others. "Sure!" Haknyeon nods and adjusts his choker. "I'm itching to take this thing off, it's really weird to be as close to normal as it can get here."

You all laugh at that, remembering how he has to wear it due to his powers. His hyperawareness is a very useful power, but also hard to live with, since he gets easily overwhelmed in crowded places. He had someone in his family create that ability dimmer for him so he could live without being constantly overwhelmed.

"You over there!"

All of you turn to see who called, finding it to be your headmaster. "Kim Sunwoo and L/N Y/N, come over here."

You give Youngjae a panicked look and he shoots you one right back. That can't be good.

The two of you slowly walk towards the man, stopping about a meter in front of him. "Do you know why I came to speak with you?"

"No, sir." You shake your head, not daring to look into his eyes. Out of the corner of your eyes you see Sunwoo trembling slightly.

"Well, I came here because Miss Im told me about what happened during her chemistry lesson. Shall I remind you, Miss L/N, that it is strictly prohibited to use your powers on campus grounds, unless they're unable to be deactivated?"

"N-No, I know that, sir." You reply quietly. "But we were missing a burner, so I thought-"

"You thought what? That it would be a good idea to use your powers instead and to risk hurting your classmates? Hm?"

"I'm so-sorry. It won't happen again, sir"

"And now on to you, Mister Kim." The headmaster turns to Sunwoo instead and you try to calm your racing heart and keep your anxious tears at bay. "You're really cocky for a 2nd year, just raising your voice at a teacher like that AND using your powers in a classroom."

"Miss Im has started it." Sunwoo replies through gritted teeth, "She could've calmly explained it, but instead she decided to humiliate Y/N Noona in front of the whole class! Was I just supposed to watch?!"

"Sunwoo-" You hiss, scared for him.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me right, sir."

"Don't make me call your parents." The much older man threatens.

"Oh, go ahead then." Sunwoo replies, "I don't care."

"Sunwoo!" You say with big eyes. "Stop it!"

"You should listen to your little friend, Mister Kim." The headmaster sneers, "I'll let you off the hook since you never did anything before. You better behave." he clicks his tongue and leaves.

You grab Sunwoo by the collar and pull him to match your height. "Are you out of your mind?!"

"Hey hey…" Jacob quickly makes an appearance and gently touches your shoulders with nothing but worry all over his face. "Please calm down Y/N."

"You idiot, he could have expelled you or something! Don't do stuff like that!" You practically beg him with teary eyes.

The younger one's eyes soften. "I'm sorry Noona, I won't do it again, but please don't cry."

Jacob takes a step back and just watches, mostly relieved that you weren't angry and that he wouldn't have to break up a fight.

"Give me a hug you idiot…" You grumble and wipe your eyes. Sunwoo gives a panicked wheeze, locking eyes with Changmin and Youngjae. They both just wave him off.

"Okay okay, don't cry." He says and gives in, pulling you close and patting your back.

The others watch from a bit away, soft smiles on their faces, almost forgetting why you two are in that situation in the first place.

But then the bell rang, snapping you all out of your thoughts.

Changmin drags you by your wrist, Chanhee on your other side as they lead the way to your next class.

"Are you feeling better now, Y/N?" Chanhee softly asks from your left side and you turn to look at him.

"I feel okay now, thank you for worrying." You reply and flash the taller man a quick smile.

Changmin intertwined his fingers with yours. It's nothing new, the two of you used to do that ever since you became friends.

"Chanhee Hyung, where is the literature classroom again?"

The oldest of you three thinks for a moment and looks at the numbers next to the doors. "It's room 371."

"Ahh thank you~" Changmin happily replies and you guys make your way into the room.

—

Chanhee stretches his long limbs after the bell chimed, indicating the end of the class. "Today's lesson was pretty intense, don't you guys think?"

"Yeah, there was a lot." Changmin frowns a little. "Y/N how were you holding up?"

Your head shoots up in surprise, caught off guard while packing your stuff. "Uh- It was alright. I understood most of it actually."

Both men give you weird looks. "You never understand stuff in literature, what happened?" Changmin says with furrowed brows.

"I think it's because she actually paid attention this time." Chanhee adds with a chuckle, "She looked so concentrated, it was cute."

You feel your body heating up and avert your eyes. "Whatever, let's go."

The two men exchange amused glances but don't speak on it any further, opting to just follow you out of the building.

You didn't expect to run into this particular person when you exited through the large glass doors.

After all, he got expelled for using his powers on campus and a few other things.

"Hyunjun?"

Midnight City AU

it took me forever to decide where to go with this chapter and i was literally getting fed up editing it 😭 i’ve been so busy with all the chaos goin on in my life rn too so yeah writing’s been feeling delayed over all but i decided to just finalize this one for rn and uhhh sorry if it seems funky or shortttt

//Chapter 3: Vanished

The next day, Trevor went back to Sterling Lake Park, after spending the night at Wade’s. He agreed to meet up with him there later, walking around the park with his earbuds in. As he threw himself down on his usual bench, he settled on listening to his usual playlist of his favorite songs. He scrolled through nosedivr once again, taking a photo of the lake. It was foggy, and the thick air sat atop the water. He liked when it was like that. A sturdy drumbeat thumped in his ears, making him feel whole. He paused it briefly, just to change it to a different song that was even louder, but with the lack of music he could now hear the crunch of gravel not too far away. He thought he told Wade to come later on? He looked up from his phone, pulling out an earbud. It was the guy from yesterday.

“Hey.”

“Hello.”

“Where’s Amanda?” He asked, glancing around.

“Uhh she’s.. not here today. I kinda came to see if you were here. I wanna get to know more people at this park if I’m gonna hang ‘round here more I guess.”

“But she doesn’t like me?”

“She don’t gotta know.”

“Well aren’t you Boyfriend of the Year.”

“Oh uh, we aren’t dating yet.”

“Thought she was your girl though.”

“She is, she is. But it’s nothing serious. Not yet. And I don’t know what happened between you guys but you don’t seem that bad, so if I wanna talk to you that’s more of a her problem than me.”

“Huh.”

Today Michael wore an eCola shirt, which was obviously made to resemble their old logo, with blue jeans. He had on a pair of red sneakers this time to match the color of the shirt. They looked slightly newer, compared to the pair he wore yesterday. He dressed nice for such a basic style. Trevor on the other hand, threw on an old, frayed Love Fist t-shirt, and messy jeans. He wore a different pair of boots, some kind of knockoff of a popular name brand. A pair of purple lensed circular glasses sat on his head, the nose pieces caught in his hair.

“So.. uh. Mind if I sit there?”

“Not like I own the bench or anything, go right ahead.”

He cautiously sat next to Trevor, hands in his lap. Trevor started one of his other playlists up again, settling on a mix of Paramore and Green Day. He left an earbud out, just so he wouldn’t be completely rude. He mindlessly scrolled, occasionally looking back at the lake or casting a sideways glance at Michael, who was looking at him funny. Sighing, he paused his music, putting his earbuds away.

“What.”

“I.. nothin’ man. I just, I dunno. What is the point of coming here?”

“It’s a public fuckin’ park man.”

“I know, but you said that you don’t even really like the people here, so what’s the point?”

“There is no ‘point’ to it. I just like time to myself is all. These guys don’t bother me, and I don’t bother them. They only start trouble when they see fit.”

“Ah… I see? What were you listening to by the way?”

Trevor stifled a groan, not really wanting to talk to the guy when he had time to freely plot his scheme.

“Pop punk shit. Ever heard of it?”

“Uh, no? I thought punk wasn’t supposed to be popular. Or fit in. Or whatever.”

“That’s merely the ideology, which I do follow, dear Michael. I just like the sound I guess. You know Paramore?”

“Not really. I don’t listen to that stuff much.”

“Then what the fuck do you listen to?”

“Not sure if it has a genre per say, but I like that song Radioactive goin’ around? Songs that sound like that I guess.”

“You like Imagine Dragons?”

“That’s what they’re called?”

Trevor could only stare at him. Was this guy living under a rock?

“Uh.. yeah. Y’know what- never mind, what else do you listen to?”

“80s music?”

No wonder this guy was unaware of who’s popular now.

“Amanda’s been trying to get me into groups like the 1975. I actually kinda like them.”

Trevor rolled his eyes.

“Of course she did.”

“They’re not that bad to be honest. She likes that weird alternative shit.”

“Yeah, I know. By the way, there is a name for that genre. Indie rock. Can’t stand the stuff.”

“How come?”

“You know, you ask a lotta fuckin’ questions.”

“I’m just tryna understand this shit here. I ain’t in the loop of all these trends.”

“Well, for your information I just find the style to be too slow and whiny for my taste. I like fast, upbeat, wild stuff.”

“Any recommendations then? I wanna impress Amanda by at least knowing one artist off that nosedivr thing she goes on.”

He raised a brow, not really wanting to share anything else knowing he would just repeat it back to her, but he shrugged and continued.

“Alright. Besides pop punk, I like experimental songs. Underground groups. Crystal Castles are my favorite.”

“Never heard of ‘em.”

“Wouldn’t expect you to.”

“Right.”

“If you want more indie rock shit though, I suggest listening to I don’t know, the Arctic Monkeys? That seems more like her taste.”

“These bands have such weird names.”

“I think bands have always been like that.”

“Hey wait a sec, I thought you didn’t like that stuff? How do you know the name of one of those groups?”

“Ugh… I guess I might as well say it if you’re gonna get with her, but we were friends at some point. She introduced me to those bands, but even then I didn’t really like it. We had a stupid falling out I’d rather not get into.”

“Oh.. sorry.”

“Eh, don’t be. Shit happens. You definitely seem like her type though, no wonder she got with you.”

“What’s her type?”

“Heh. As if I’d tell you.” He scoffed.

“C’mon man, please?”

“Nope.”

Michael frowned, slumping in his seat.

“Fine. Whatever. Not like I need to know.”

“You could at least pretend you don’t care.”

“I don’t.”

“You clearly do, bro.”

He sat arms crossed, turning a smidge away from Trevor. This was his opportunity to listen to his tunes again, but before he could Michael spoke up.

“Can I… can I listen to whatever you’re listening to?”

“Huh?”

“I wanna hear what you’re into.”

Trevor shot him a puzzled look.

“Uh.. okay.”

Wiping off an earbud, he handed one to Michael. He already had one in.

“Pick your poison cowboy.”

“Cowboy?”

“Just a nickname I give people.” He shrugged.

Michael settled on his experimental music, actually nodding along to the sound. They were closer than a minute ago, and it made Trevor uncomfortable for whatever reason. Maybe because he was never in such close proximity to strangers, but the other part of him didn’t care that much. Michael’s eyes were closed, smiling.

“You like it?”

“Yeah! Reminds me of synth stuff from the 80s, just more modern I guess.”

He smiled back at Michael, appreciating the fact there was someone else who liked the music he liked. The two listened to a couple different playlists he had, up until the moment Wade arrived at the park.

“Trevor! Hey!”

“Woah. Who’s your friend?”

“Hm?” He pulled out the single earbud, turning his head around. Wade had clown makeup on, making Trevor jump in his seat.

“Fucks sake. Hey Wade.”

“Ooh who’s this?”

He wasn’t sure if Wade freaked him out or not, seeing as the guy not only had matted locs, but many facial piercings as well. And the clown shit. He stood up to introduce them to one another.

“Wade, this is Michael. Michael, Wade.”

The way Michael looked at him was like a kid seeing a zoo animal for the first time. He looked bewildered, but not disgusted.

“Hi. What’s with the..?” He wavered a hand in Wade’s direction.

“Oh! It’s jus’ clown face. Not tryna scare ya or nothin’!”

“Uh huh… man. How have I never been around these parts? You guys are real different.”

“You got that right, Mike.”

“Seems like I’ve been missin’ out. I hangout with some dudes who would hate this place if I’m being honest.”

“I’ll have to meet ‘em sometime.” Trevor chuckled.

“They’re real cool guys. Didn’t expect our paths to cross, but anything’s possible in this fuckin’ city.”

“Oh yeah. Land of opportunities, for all types of wackjobs.”

“Ain’t that the truth.”

A hand tapped Trevor on the shoulder.

“Uh, excuse me, Trevor, but are we still gonna talk about the Merryweather thingy-”

“Wade! Shut it-”

“What Merryweather thing?”

“Nothing, nothing. Not important.” He said, gritting his teeth, glare strong on Wade.

“Okay..”

“But you said we’d talk about it over icecream!”

“Later, Wade. Not right now.”

“Fiiine. Can we still get icecream though?”

“Sure. Promise. I’ll let you know.”

“Okay! Bye Trevor, bye stranger!”

Michael lifted a hand to haphazardly to wave goodbye.

“What was that about?”

“I told ya man, nothin’. Just going over some plans we’re making.”

“Is it about that special event being held there?”

“How you know about that?”

“Mandy told me.”

“Mandy… yeah. Figures as much.”

“She got an invite, and wants me to go as her plus one. I don’t know if I really wanna go though, I’m still pretty unfamiliar with all this.”

“Trust me, you don’t.”

“Seriously, what is your beef with those guys?”

“I told you, they start shit when they want. Taught ‘em a lesson and that was it. Nearly got me banned from this place, but it was kinda worth the looks on their faces.”

“You are.. quite peculiar y’know. Anyway, you mind showing more of that music? I was honestly gettin’ a kick outta it.”

“Uh, yeah.”

He sat back down next to Michael, handing him the same earbud as before. He clicked on one of his favorite Crystal Castles songs, Vanished. As they were listening, Michael furrowed his eyebrows.

“Hey wait a minute.. I think I’ve heard this before.”

“You have? I thought you didn’t know them.”

“No, I mean yeah I haven’t, but that’s not it. The lyrics. Vocals. I’ve heard them in a different song.”

“Oh.”

“Lemme think, lemme think, ah… I got it! Pass me your phone real quick.”

His fingers typed in the song title fast, pressing play right away. It was an indie rock song, much to Trevor’s dismay. But something stopped him from complaining, seeing how Michael’s face lit up.

“Yeah! This is it, Sex City by Van She. Y’know, I honestly think that’s neat.”

“What is?”

“The fact that a song you like, samples a song I like! Who would’ve guessed?” He said, eyes sparkling. Trevor didn’t notice how bright they were until now. The eye contact, along with the lack of space between them, made him feel stuffy again. He averted his eyes back to his phone, trying to loosen up a bit. As the song played, he savored in the sound, shocking himself a bit. The rock sound was there, but had an 80s sort of feel to it. The song finished before he knew it.

“So.. What’d ya think?”

“You know my thoughts on indie shit. Wasn’t for me, sorry.”

“Oh c’mon, you know you liked it.”

“Nope. Prefer Vanished.”

“Yeah, okay. Keep telling yourself that, but I honestly think they’re both really good. You think that too, I can feel it.”

“Whatever you say bro.”

He switched the song over to that Grimes song he listened to yesterday, the two of them sitting silently. It was a pleasant afternoon they shared. Suddenly Michael’s phone went off, and he yanked the earbud out.

“Ah shit. I gotta take this. Mandy.”

“Gotcha.”

Trevor grabbed the other earbud, putting it back in. He saw Michael wave his free hand around, looking close to hurling his phone right into the lake. Trevor assumed he must’ve been shouting as well, from the way other people were looking at him. Hanging up not much later, he returned to the bench, as Trevor put his earbuds away.

“Fuckin’ Christ.”

“So.. how’d it go?”

“She’s finally not mad at me anymore, but demanded I go take her shopping now. I swear, she’s gonna clear out my bank account or something.”

“How? You guys aren’t even dating.”

“I know, but I just can’t say no to her.”

“Uh huh.”

“Look, I’m sorry to leave so suddenly, but I really gotta go before she goes back to being pissed at me. See ya around?”

“I’ll be here man.”

Michael stood up, storming away. Seemed like he had a short temper, huh? He wondered to himself how long he was gonna stick around, seeing how Amanda’s dating history was… an extensive list. He thought back to last night, when he had seen that post of them, remembering the fact that no guy stayed for longer than a week. It almost made him bummed, seeing as he only had Ron and Wade for friends. Lester too, but that was on rare occasion. Shit. The plans. What time was it?

“Ah, fuck me.” He muttered. How did he let the day go by so quick?

He shot a text to Wade, telling him to grab Ron and meet at some icecream place. He did promise Wade after all.

Ron ended up meeting them there a little bit later, apologizing profusely before Trevor told him to just sit down and shut up. He did just that, almost apologizing once more.

“Now, let’s get down to business. Who do we know that would help us sneak into that club to cause sheer utter mayhem?”

Ron raised his hand excitedly.

“I could get Floyd maybe-”

“Definite fuckin’ no. He would have a heart attack the minute he set foot in there.”

This was getting nowhere. He tossed his head back to look up at the sky. As he did, he saw a couple walking out of the icecream place.

“Oh fucking hell.”

Was this guy following him or something? He snapped his head forward, trying to be a little more hidden.

“What? Trevor what is it?”

“Shh! Keep your fucking voice down Ron!”

He made all three of them lower their heads as the couple walked away, peeking over his shoulder to make sure they were gone. As he did, he could’ve sworn he saw Michael looking back at him. The both of them turned away as quick as possible from the split second of eye contact.

“Trevor?” Ron repeated.

“It was nothing. Just thought I saw someone.”

“Ain’t that the Michael fella I met today?”

“Nope. Don’t think it is.”

“Are ya sure-”

“Pretty fucking positive. Now, back on topic.”

The next hour or so still went nowhere. Wade had gone through two servings of icecream, and Ron started to get restless. Trevor was just bored.

“Ughhh there has to be something we can do!”

“I don’t know what to tell you Trevor. We’ll find someone, soon. There’s enough time isn’t there?”

“Yeah, but I’m not waitin’ til the last possible fuckin’ second to get a guy to help us out here.”

“But we still have time.”

“If you fuckin’ say so Ron.”

The three of them called it a night, as Trevor tossed around the idea of possibly getting Michael involved in his head. On one hand he wanted to out of spite just to make Amanda and the other hipsters mad, and on the other he didn’t want to screw up whatever new friendship he had started with Michael. Ron did say they had time to find someone soon. They weren’t exactly in a rush, but he still wanted to make sure their plan was concrete. They all went back to Wade’s, Trevor deciding to take a walk along the beach. He threw on the same playlist from earlier, watching the sunset. As he walked, he didn’t pay much mind to where he was going, bumping into someone.

“Ah fuck, watch where you’re going-”

“Shit, sorry man-”

As they spun around from the collision, he realized exactly who he had run into.

“Trevor?”

What the fuck?

“What the fuck? Are you following me or something?”

“Huh?”

“This is the third time I’ve seen you today. What are you even doing here?”

“Uh, it’s a public fuckin’ beach man.” He said, mocking the comment Trevor had made earlier.

“Don’t get smart with me.”

“Hey, I’m just tellin’ you how it is. I didn’t purposely search for you, hell I didn’t even know you lived this way.”

“I do. So make like a tree and fuck off.” He said bitterly.

“Woah, chill the fuck out. What’s your deal? I thought we were cool man.”

“I don’t like being followed.”

“I just told you I wasn’t!”

“It doesn’t exactly seem like it. You just so happen to look for me this morning, and just happen to go to the same icecream place I went, and then I find you here? I mean Jesus-”

“I’m telling you, it’s all purely coincidence.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“Fuckin’ hell man..” He mumbled.

“Y’know, you’re as fuckin’ stubborn as Amanda is. I already told you-”

Trevor balled his fists, before jabbing a finger into Michael’s chest.

“Don’t fucking compare me to her.”

Michael threw his hands up defensively, not realizing he touched a nerve.

“Woah woah, easy dude. I didn’t think it was that bad between you guys.”

He exhaled loudly, unclenching his hands.

“It wasn’t. Isn’t. Just.. don’t compare me to her.”

Michael pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling hard himself.

“Look, I think you’re cool and all but you can’t flip out on me like that. I mean we are just getting to know each other y’know. I can’t have you wanting to bite my head off like that if I just so happen to keep running into you. I really am just trying to navigate the area better, so forgive me if I came off as some sorta fuckin’ stalker. Amanda went home and I had nothing better to do so I chose to walk over this way.”

“Hmph. Fine. Whatever.”

“So we good?”

“Yeah.”

“Good. Now, since we’re already here why don’t we just hangout or something?”

Trevor folded his arms, trying to look like he didn’t want to spend another minute with him. It didn’t really work though, because he actually did want to talk to him more.

“If you insist.”

“Alrighty.”

The two of them started to head in the direction of the boardwalk, neither one speaking yet. After finding a bench to sit on as the sun sunk below the horizon, the silence was still there. This sort of thing was bizarre for both of them in different ways. Michael never really frequented these parts of LS, and Trevor never really hit it off with any kind of stranger. Ron and Wade were exceptions if anything, and he had known Lester for a while now. Yet there was something about this guy that didn’t make him feel like he was spending time with a stranger, even though he knew jack shit about him. He might as well try to make small talk.

“So I-”

“So uhh-”

They spoke over each other while trying to start up a conversation, making things feel a little more awkward.

“Shit sorry, you go first.”

“Nah nah you go.”

“Um. Okay. So.. tell me about yourself? We haven’t really talked about much besides music.”

“Yeah.. right. What do ya wanna know?”

“I just asked you to tell me about yourself, so it’s your job to decide what to say.”

Michael gave him a sardonic smile in response to that, partly because he wasn’t sure what to bring up about himself. It seemed like they were gonna be here a while if they wanted to say the most basic shit you say when getting to know someone.

“Well, I ain’t that interesting if you really need to know. I’m guessing you already know about my whole ‘affinity for the 80s’ thing, like the culture n shit that came from it. Real sick stuff.”

“If you say so.”

“Yeah. Anyway, if you really want to know plain shit about me though, I will tell ya that my favorite color’s blue.”

Trevor snickered at that.

“Pfft, seriously? We’re talking favorite colors now?”

“Hey man, you said you wanted to know more about me.”

“Uh yeah, but that’s so fuckin’ silly.”

“Maybe it is, but what about you? You got one?”

“Favorite color? You kiddin’?”

“I’m waiting..”

“Uh huh… I’ll give. Always liked the color red I guess. Like, in variety. Not picky about something as childish as that.”

“What’s childish about that?”

“Cuz only kids exchange that whole ‘oh what’s your favorite color?’ thing. It’s like if I were to ask you what your favorite dinosaur is.”

“Hmm.. I’d probably say a T-Rex.”

“Oh now you’re just pulling my dick. And no, I’m not telling you what mine is just because you did.”

“Hey, I didn’t ask you though. That was all you.”

“Mm… shut it.”

“You got one though?”

“I’m not telling you!”

“Ah ah, I didn’t ask which one, I asked if you had one.”

“Well I don’t, so knock it off.”

“That’s fair. I won’t push.”

They grew silent for the second time that night, before Trevor mumbled something under his breath.

“It’s a pterodactyl..”

“What was that?”

He forced a breath through his nose, acting annoyed.

“It’s a fuckin’ pterodactyl. That’s mine. Okay?”

“Hah, okay. Any reason why?”

“You’re so nosy.”

“You’re the one who started this conversation about getting to know each other man.”

“Ugh, I know that.” He said, lightly shoving his shoulder.

“I think it’s cool that they could fly and shit. I like flying.”

“You like flying?”

“Loved it.”

“Wait, you tellin’ me you fly? Like, planes and shit?”

Trevor winced at the words, regretting what he just said.

“I did.. at some point. Air Force shit. They said I was one of the best they’d seen in a while but I.. left. Sort of.”

“Then why’d you leave?”

“I didn’t exactly leave on my own accord. More or less got kicked out.”

“How come-”

“I don’t like talking about it. I know we’re opening up or whatever the fuck but that.. that’s still too soon for me to want to bring up. Especially to someone I barely know.”

“Sorry.”

“It’s okay.” He said, even though it really wasn’t. It’s not like Michael knew though, he really wasn’t trying to prod in a bad way.

It was almost pitch black by the time their conversation got to that point, only distant streetlight and the nearby pier lighting up their surroundings. The whole mood had shifted, and both of them decided to just break it off there.

“Hey uh, I’ll probably see you tomorrow man. If I’m with Amanda I think I’ll just send a wave or something your way.”

“Got it. See ya.”

“Bye.”

Trevor stayed put, watching Michael leave as he turned down a random one way street. This guy was tripping him out and he couldn’t pin point why. It was getting late though, and walked off himself back to Wade’s. He’ll save that vexed question for another night.

//ahhhhhh i rlly did not know what i wanted to do with this….,,., sorry if this wasn’t as good as the first two !! i alrdy know i repeated a bunch of stuff in there and i feel like it got kinda sloppy so again, soz (including typos or whtevr)

Hey so. I’m sorry about this.

“It could be worse.” Karliah said, pressing a slowly reddening bandage to Gallus’s arm.

“You’re not the one bleeding out.” Gallus replied, wincing. He squirmed away from the stinging antibiotic his compatriot had poured over the wound.

“You’re not bleeding out yet, stop whining.” She held his arm down. “If you keep moving it’ll hurt more, Gallus. What were you thinking?”

“I wanted that puzzle cube.” He replied through bared teeth.

“Shadows help me, you and those damned dwemer.” Karliah sighed, finishing the wrapping of linen and some homemade poultices. “Be the death of you.” She pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead.

“I doubt it, I’m way too clever for them.” The Guildmaster laughed. His companion couldn’t help but laugh as well.

The pain subsided in a few minutes, and the two nightingales abandoned that stupid heist for the night. Camp had been set up nearby, away from the main road, where they wouldn’t be discovered by guards, or forsworn. Mercer hadn’t come on this mission, and was back in Riften looking after things. Wasn’t Gallus’s first choice to look over the operations, but Karliah had assured him it would be fine, and that they could afford some heists by themselves. Besides, Delvin could watch the vault, and that little Brynjolf, they’d picked up had a good head on his shoulders. For a young lad, at least.

“Right, you can get yourself into bed, love.” The dunmer brought Gallus into the fur tent, settling him into a sleep roll. “I’m going to keep watch, get some sleep.”

“You’re not going to stay here? You look pretty tired yourself, Karliah.”

She sighed, unable to deny how much she liked the sound of her name on his lips. “Don’t use your nightingale powers on me, Gallus.” She replied. It would be okay. There weren’t any forsworn seen in this area for a while, and it would be too late for them to care now.

“I swear, I’m not.”

“Fiiine. I’ll douse the fire.” Karliah did, closing the flap of the tent as she settled in next to her lover. Careful not to hit his injured arm, she lay her head on his chest, gently listening to his heartbeat. Before falling asleep, a thought struck her, and all those memories, those awful memories came flooding back.

“Darling? What’s wrong?” Gallus asked, stirring from his almost-sleep. The dunmer sat up.

“This...this is a dream. Isn’t it?”

He paused, meeting her eyes with tears in his own, and taking her hands in his. “Yes, my love. But isn’t it a lovely one?”

~ ~ ~

The cold woke her with a start, the tent empty and bare of any other life. Karliah called out, not expecting a response.

“Gallus?” It sounded foreign on her lips now. The sound was killed by the blizzard outside anyway. She wiped freezing tears from her cheeks, staring at the empty spot in her sleeping roll.

#haha well I drew them happy #and had to write them sad #sorry #I’ll have actually happy ending stuff later #karliah #gallus desidenius #oh no i made myself sad #Skyrim #skyrim

Diabolik lovers Chaos Lineage: Shin Tsukinami (Story 09)

In terms of the gameplay: The black choices lead up to a bad ending, the white choices lead up to a good ending. Please no reposting onto other sites, ask me before translating this into another language too! If you enjoy these translations, please consider supporting me on ko-fi.

2020 Christmas Tweets

Shin: What’s with that face? Do you want to complain about my present or something? If you don’t want to get punished, why don’t you be obedient and accept it then? ...Though you’re not quite satisfied, I’d choose you over this any time.

Kino: I guess I did end up enjoying your Christmas meal and gifts, but don’t think this is the end of today already, okay? After all I saved all the enjoyment for the end, y’know. That’s why you should thoroughly prepare yourself for what you’ll receive.

Monologue

Kino-kun proposed a certain strategy to collect information about this place.

Which is why we started with searching through each and every mansion in order to find any possible clues.

After all, there’s only a church and three mansions on this land.

Now that I’m looking at it again, I’m certain those are all the places here—

I cannot help but feel as if there will be some problems in investigating this space though.

Place: Scarlet mansion — Living room

Yui: (This time we came to Reiji-san’s mansion instead… but I wonder if this is really okay…)

(We weren’t able to find anything so far, even though things are working out pretty good for us…)

Kino: Now, are we going to destroy something in here?

Yui: ….. !

Shin: You… didn’t I tell you not to break anything?

Kino: Ehh, did you?

Yui: (Yes, he did! He told you breaking stuff isn’t a resolution to anything!)

Kino: Maybe I misheard that, considering that I’m “searching” for clues after all.

Shin: Is that really true!?

Kino: C’mon, we have to continue searching.

You still want to know how to regain your brother’s memories after all, right?

Shin: Nn… yes, I do.

Yui: (Why can’t I actually get the feeling off that Kino-kun is totally fooling us here…)

(I wonder if it’s really possible to find any clues to regain anyone’s memories… ?)

(But for now I can’t think of any other way than trusting him…)

(Neither can I help myself but continue to worry about it though… for the time being, I should just keep searching…)

Kino: Now, how should I scare you this time — is what I’d never say. I’ll go start looking over here instead.

*Kino drops chessboard*

Yui: (Ah… the chessboard… Kino-kun moved it out of his way just now)

Kino: That’s right. There might be something hidden in the food rack.

Come this way, Shin! Let’s search there.

*Kino leaves*

Shin: Wait a second! Don’t move around on your own!

Yui: (I can’t believe he ended up throwing the pieces down… I guess I’ll have to restore the pieces on the chessboard for now)

Speaking of the chessboard…

(It’s sort of like the one I saw yesterday—)

Shin: Hey, Kino! He might end up tearing up the kitchen this time…

*Shin leaves*

Yui: (Ah, both of them kept moving. I should probably follow them)

Place: Scarlet mansion — Kitchen

Shin: This mansion even has one of the most spacious kitchens I’ve ever seen.

Kino, isn’t this a territory where we won't find anything? I personally don’t think they would hide anything in a place like this.

Kino: Hmm, you may be right.

But Reiji is the one in charge of this place most of the time, so he could’ve enough space to hide something here—

Ah, it’s locked. Guess it can’t be helped… I’ll probably have to break it. Ngh!

*Kino breaks cupboard*

Shin: Ahh! You did it again, what for though!?

Yui: (He ended up breaking the glass from the cupboard…)

Kino: We don’t have any time, so it’s quicker to do this, right?

Shin: No! There definitely must’ve been a different way, am I right!?

Kino: Hmm, this plate looks kinda expensive. It even has a golden pattern around… —Ngh!

*Kino breaks it*

Yui: Eh, Kino-kun!? Why did you break the plate all of the sudden now!?

Kino: Ah, my hand slipped.

Shin: Is that the only “logical” answer you came up with? I don’t think one’s hand slips carelessly after they yell out, does it!?

Kino: Ah! Maybe this will do?

Shin: Hey, listen to me already will you… aghh!?

*Kino drops something*

Yui: Eek! Kino-kun what kind of flavoring was that… !?

Ahem, Ahem, Hachoo...

(I got an itchy nose because of it now… !)

Kino: Sorry, sorry. The pepper slipped too.

Ah, that plate over there also seems as if it’s really expensive.

*Kino drops plate*

Kino: Alright! This might result in an effect of defeating the final boss.

Shin: Why would you comparatively aggressively break it then!? Furthermore, why did you choose something as expensive as that!?

Kino: Because, isn’t there a higher chance of having a certain sense of accomplishment when breaking it?

Shin: Are you dumb? You must be dumb. But are you really that dumb!?

Yui: Shin-kun, please calm down! If they end up hearing us, we'll have to run away immediately—

Reiji: What is clamorously going on here!? Is this once again Kino doing something...

...Nn! What I am seeing here, what has happened here… ?

Kino: Ah, big brother Reiji.

Shin: Ah, come on! We already really got discovered!

Reiji: When hearing the sound of a rat stepping in one’s house, it is expected to enter immediately after.

It appears as if my collection has been completely broken into pieces only, is that correct...?

Kino... why is it that you and those guys from Orange are in here to begin with… ?

Yui: Ah...

(Reiji-san… he seems to be really angry…)

Kino: Ahh, we already got caught. And here I thought I could rage a bit longer.

Shin: Why can you go on a riot, while you tell me to be all quiet though!?

Reiji: It is all messy now… and you will certainly not get away with this. You will have to pay those reparations with your life!!

Yui: W-We’re really sorry!! Shin-kun, we have to run!

Shin: Y-Yes!

Kino: It was fun destroying them. Thanks!

Shin: You, come on now!!

Place: Abandoned house — Inside

Yui: Just now Reiji-san had some really furious facial expressions...

Kino: That was such a great face though. I’m kinda disappointed I couldn’t take a picture of it.

Shin: You there...

Do you really have to make enemies each and every time like that!? You just want to do nothing but rage, don’t you!?

Kino: If you keep getting that angry, you won’t be able to get those wrinkles between your eyebrows away, y’know?

Shin: And because of whom is that… !?

Yui: Shin-kun, please calm down! And Kino-kun, stop acting so strange already too.

Kino: I guess if you get scolded by a princess, you have no choice but to follow, right?

Shin: Why is it that you can easily listen to what she says and not what I do… ?

Yui: Hey, calm down, okay? Come on, take a deep breath!

(Shin-kun seems to be absolutely overawed from Kino-kun…)

Kino: That’s right, I’ve got a classy present for the princess though.

Yui: ...Eh? For me?

Kino: Look, here. I borrowed those macarons Reiji-san made some time ago. Wanna eat them?

Yui: Those are Reiji-san’s macarons!? How and when did you steal them...

Shin: Are you okay with that though? You know that you definitely won’t be able to go back to that mansion now, right?

Kino: I think I have already told you before . I’ve got no need to go back to that mansion as long as I can stay with the two of you.

Here, Eve. Take whatever’s your favorite.

Yui: Eh, but… it’s something you brought with you as you pleased, right? I’d feel bad for Reiji-san if I did that...

Kino: It’s fine. Besides, if we don’t eat it now, it might start rotting. And that would be a waste at the end, right?

Yui: (He does have a point…)

Kino: I only brought them with me for you to begin with.

Yui: Kino-kun… thank you.

Shin: So this is just for Yui? What about me?

Kino: I know you’re not that hungry. Besides, you don’t like sweets anyway, do you?

Shin: ...Well, I guess you’re right.

Kino: It’s okay then.

Here, let’s eat them.

Yui: Eh, um...

(Ugh… guess I have to… even though I feel uncomfortable…)

Choices

1) Obey him (black)

2) Decline it (white)♡♡♡

— Obey him

Yui: ...Should I open my mouth then?

(It’s a little embarrassing, but Reiji-san’s macarons do seem quite charming, don’t they… ?)

Kino: Yes, Yes. Now, aaah.

*Shin grabs Kino’s hand*

Shin: Wait.

Yui: Eh?

Kino: Hm?

Shin: Nom

Yui: (Shin-kun took the macaron… and ate it…)

Shin: I had to eat it instead. You have no idea what might be inside there after all.

Kino: And you surely didn’t do that because you´re jealous or anything, right? You’re way too easy to understand, hehe.

Shin: Shut up.

And you shouldn’t accept someone to feed you so recklessly too.

Yui: I’m sorry.

Shin: This is the end of the foretaste. Alright, you can have the remnants.

— Decline it♡

Yui: It’s okay, I can eat it myself.

Kino: Ehh, there’s no need to restrain yourself.

Yui: I’m not restraining myself… I’m just telling you that I can eat it myself!

Kino: Hmm.

In other words, you especially want Shin to have that honour.

Yui: ...Nn

Kino: Both of you are really close after all

Then, what if I’d eat them all now though?

Yui: Ah.

Kino: Fufu, just kidding. Now, Shin.

Shin: Hah? Eh, what?

Kino: What you ask, it seems as if our princess here is trying to tell you to feed her, right?

Yui: Eh!? H-Hey, wait, Kino-kun!? I never even said a single word about that…!

Kino: Your face tells me differently though… haha. Aren’t you completely red right now?

Yui: ...Nn!

(Uhh… I’m so embarrassed, I wish I could disappear already…)

Shin: Kino, can you stop picking up on her already?

Kino: Fiiine.

Shin: Guess you should’ve said that from the beginning then.

Yui: I wasn’t able to… !

Shin: It’s okay, you can eat them now. Look, open your mouth.

Yui: (Shin-kun’s hand is getting closer…)

Shin: ...Nn, your facial expressions are really erratic!

end Choices

Yui: Nom!

(He stuck it in my mouth all of the sudden!?)

Kino: Fufu, seems as if you surprised her.

Shin isn’t the most upfront about his feelings either, hm?

Shin: You’re being so noisy each and every time!

Yui: Nn… hm! That was delicious… !

(Ruki-kun’s food was really delicious, but Reiji-san’s food is also truly amazing...)

Kino: Ahh, it’s stuck around your mouth because you suddenly were fed with it without warning, right?

Yui: Eh!

Kino: C’mon, stay still.

Yui: Ehh!?

(He wiped my mouth… and his face is so close…)

Kino: Your lips are quite soft, y’know?

Yui: ...Nn!!

Kino: Ouch.

Shin: Hey, get away!

Yui: Shin-kun…

(That really surprised me…)

Shin: Good grief, didn’t I tell you to get your behavior together already… ?

I’m not allowing you to touch Yui in any way whatsoever.

Kino: Oh no, I’m trembling already.

Shin: ...If someone else were to touch what belongs to you, you’d obviously get angry as well.

Kino: Fufu, maybe. But to me, you seem to be really nervous about something else instead, am I right?

Shin: Hah?

Kino: You should already know that yourself, but Violet is the only mansion left now. And we’ll raid that one tomorrow.

Shin: ...Nn!

Yui: (Violet’s mansion, huh? So that means…)

Kino: Yeah, that’s the mansion where your brother, Carla, is in. And because of that you’ve been acting all irritated, am I right?

Shin: That’s not particularly the case though. I only felt like that because you started touching her. That’s about it.

Kino: Hmm.

Shin: If you like, I can get you to understand my strength? Even if I forgot things at the beginning, I’m still a founder.

Kino: Yes, Yes. Cut it with the grim face already. In the meantime I’ll head outside for a moment to cool down my head then.

*Kino leaves*

Shin: Haa...

Yui: Shin-kun?

Shin: Hey, you...

Yui: Eh?

*Shin pushes Yui over*

Yui: Kyaa!?

Shin-kun? What is it?

Shin: What a mess that was. What was that about earlier?

Yui: Earlier, you say… ?

Shin: Are you pretending to not know now? Or is it just that you want to make me angry on purpose?

Yui: That’s not true… !

Shin: Hmm. —But didn’t you feel happy when being approached by Kino?

Yui: I was not happy… !

Shin: Here...

Yui: (—He’s touching my lips)

Shin: They were touched without my permission. I’ll have to disinfect them, Nn...

Yui: Eh!? Wait, hmm… !

Shin: Nn, haa… hey, don’t let any other men, except me, touch you as carelessly as that ever again.

There is no such thing as me allowing that to happen once more.

Yui: Yes... I’m really sorry ...

(—Seems as if he got jealous because of that… I feel guilty for making him feel like that… but I also feel my heart beating faster)

Shin: It’s no good if you have contact with a stingy person like that.

Yui: I know. I’ll only keep them to Shin-kun now.

(To be honest, I secretly really wish for him to embrace me closely now…)

Shin: What? Why are you suddenly clinging onto me?

Yui: Because I want you to believe in what I said.

(Ah… Shin-kun tightly hugged me back…)

Shin: You’re so fragile… I feel as if I’d hug you tightly, you’d end up dying.

Yui: That’s not true. I won’t die because of that.

Shin: Promise me you won’t. I wouldn’t want to see you dying because of me like that.

Yui: I promise.

(Was that… my anxiety talking? That might be because of the various things that happened so far...)

—Even if you’ll hug me all tightly, I promise I won’t die...

(I want you to hug me even stronger — Because like this I could feel Shin-kun’s heartbeat even closer…)

Shin: ...Perhaps just hugging you won’t stop me feeling grieved.

Yui: Eh?

Shin: I want you to give me your blood...

Yui: Ah...

(Shin-kun’s fangs are already at the edge of my neck…)

Shin: Nn… Hmm...

Yui: (Hmm… my body feels somewhat hot now… but the feeling is not too bad… I guess…)

Hmm, Ah… Nn—

(Oh god, I think I let my voice out… But—)

Shin: ...Say, did your self-control fail and led you to put out your voice?

Yui: ...T-That was… because I’m embarrassed...

Shin: If you can’t endure it, then let me hear your voice more

Yui: ...Nn

Shin: Let only me hear that seductive voice you can make.

Haa… Nn… Nn...

Yui: Ah… Ahh…

Shin: Nn… yes… like that...

Yui: Ah… Nn...

Shin: Ngh… all I can smell is that delicious blood of yours… Hmm… !

Yui: ...Nn

(All Shin-kun does right now is making my head feel all hot… and that does make me feel a little pained…)

Note

Can I get something with Julius? Where he's got a huge crush on someone (magic knight) but is not sure she'd be comfortable with him asking her out- but everyone else can tell that she's crushing on him as well? Be creative! 💙💙 Thanks!

Of course anon! Sorry this took me so long to get out. School has been relentless these past few weeks. I tried to make the reader as gender neutral as possible. This is my first time doing a character x reader, so I hope I didn't mess up.

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue

Julius sighed at Marx placed another stack of papers at his desk. Paperwork was practically torture itself, but on top of that, one of his best friends had to hand it to him and expect him to fill it out.

"Lord Julius, you know you need to do this."

Julius groaned. "I know, but I don't want to."

Marx rolled his eyes. "I need to leave, so please do your work, Sir."

"Fiiine."

Julius turned to the papers, but he found himself unable to focus on them. His thoughts drifted to the one person that had been taking up all his headspace as of recently, y/n.

Y/n was a 5th class Senior Magic Knight from the Golden Dawn. As a Fire Magic user with a sweet personality, y/n was the very definition of "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Y/n came over whenever Captain Vangeance needed to discuss things with Julius. But Julius fell for y/n after an attack on the capital where Julius got to see y/n in action for the first time. Now, every time Julius spotted y/n, his world flooded with colors that he'd never seen before. Unfortunately, Julius wasn't even sure if asking y/n out was appropriate.

"Lord Julius!" Marx shouted at the daydreaming Julius.

Julius jumped in his seat and grabbed a pencil from his pencil holder and pretended to write. Marx groaned and rolled his eyes.

"If you want me to believe you're writing, at least hold your pencil properly." Marx walked over and flipped the pencil in Julius' hand so he was holding it correctly. While he was at Julius' desk, Marx stole a glance at Julius's paperwork.

"Sir! I left you here for an hour and you haven't done anything! Please do your work. I have other matters to attend to. I can't stay here babysitting you all day."

Julius slouched in his seat before coming up with an idea. "Hey, Marx?"

Marx, who was writing on a sheet of paper, turned to Julius. "Yes, Sir?"

Calming his heart beat, Julius drew in a breath. "If-If you liked someone, how would you tell them?"

"Is this about y/n again?"

"Y-yeah..."

Taking his attention off the paper for a moment, Marx looked the lovesick Wizard King in the eyes. "Well, if I had feelings for someone, I would write them a letter. I can't trust myself to speak to them without messing up, so I would write a letter. It takes the stress of being in the same room as them off me."

"That's a great idea, Marx!" Julius smiled until he remembered something that returned him to his slouch. "But, I don't think y/n wants to go out with me."

Marx rolled his eyes with a small smile. "That's the least of your worries, Sir. Trust me."

Julius nodded and pulled out a piece of paper, ready to start a love letter.

•~•~•~•

Y/n was delivering some papers to Captain Vangeance. William's face dropped a bit when he spotted the stack of papers.

"Oh my. I have to fill all of those out?"

"Yes, sir."

"Ah well. That's life."

Y/n turned to leave William's office when William called them back. "Y/n! Would you like to accompany me to visit Lord Julius today?"

Y/n froze. "Um, you want me go go with you?"

William nodded. "I enjoy your company. Also, I think it would benefit you to finally talk to Sir Julius. He's very kind, you know."

That sent y/n off to dream land. Y/n knew Julius was sweet and kind. He was the sweetest and kindest person they knew. After a few moments, y/n realized that William was still watching.

"W-what are you saying, Captain? It's not like I like Julius or anything."

William chuckled. "I never said that."

A blush shot across y/n's face. "Oh..."

"Anyway, be back here in an hour."

"Yes, sir!"

•~•~•~•

Y/n walked with William into Julius' office. When Julius spotted y/n, he sat straight and put a large grin on his face. He just hoped y/n couldn't see the dumb grin or the blush on his face. Julius was definitely not expecting 2 people.

"William! Y/n! Come in!"

It was definitely awkward being in a room with two lovebirds who weren't aware of the other's feelings, but William didn't mind. As long as his two friends could be together, William didn't mind at all. After some time of y/n and Julius staring at each other, William let out a cough. Julius jumped in his seat.

"William! What can I do for you?"

William let a small smile grace his lips. "Lord Julius, you're the one who called me here. I should be the one asking what I can do for you."

Scratching the back of his head, Julius chuckled. "Y-yeah. Um, here. I need you to fill out these documents."

William pulled the stack of papers to his side of the desk and engaged in conversation with Julius for a while. Eventually, y/n worked up the courage to speak in front of Julius. The three spent the rest of the time laughing along to y/n's story. Spotting the way Julius looked at y/n, William knew he had to get those two together. He just had to figure out how.

•~•~•~•

As William arrived in his office and examined the papers Julius gave him, he spotted something that seemed a little off. One corner of the stack was slightly higher than the other 3 corners. William pulled out the folded paper and saw a note attached to it.

Could you give this to y/n for me? Thanks.

William smiled. "You finally did it, Lord Julius. I didn't even need to assist you."

•~•~•~•

Y/n was reading a book when a note was slipped under their bedroom door. Unfolding the note, y/n was shocked and excited by the contents.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

You stole my heart

So please be mine

(P.S. meet me in Moonflower Park at sunset)

Y/n was ecstatic. Could this be from Julius? Reminding themself not to get too excited, y/n drew in a deep breath. It took less than 5 minutes for y/n to get dressed. Sunset was close, so y/n dashed out of the Golden Dawn headquarters and made their way to Moonflower Park.

•~•~•~•

Y/n arrived right at sunset. Panting, y/n sat down on a nearby bench. Every few minutes, y/n took a look around to see if anyone approached them. This unnamed poet had to show up soon. After about 20 minutes, y/n grew impatient.

"Is this a prank? Because it's a pretty bad one." Y/n muttered.

"Hello!"

Y/n jumped at the voice. When y/n spotted that voice's owner, y/n's heart raced out of control.

Julius smiled softly at y/n, hoping he didn't seem awkward. "Hello y/n! What brings you here?"

"...I-um, I received a poem from a secret admirer who told me to come here today at sunset." Y/n blushed, hoping that Julius wouldn't make fun of them for it. "Have you seen anyone around?"

"No." Julius chuckled.

Y/n's shoulders dropped a little. "Oh, well do you know who the secret admirer is?"

Julius pressed a kiss to y/n's warm cheek. "Does this answer your question?"

Unexpected Delivery

(This is the start of the Big Brother AU! I made it in fic form since my hand was out of commission at the time!)

Cleo hummed absently as she finished up the last of the DNA samples for the cloning tubes. It was routine by now; she was nearly halfway done cloning the other hermits for her zoo, the growing duplicates catatonic in their seperate tubes.

Cleo thought there was nothing wrong with her quote "questionable" science, but the other hermits seemed uncomfortable whenever she casually brought it up. Which was fine! She was sure they wouldn't mind that she didn't tell them they were being cloned this time. She'd take great care of them! It'd be a great feature of the zoo.

Cleo poured the last sample into an empty tube, having already confirmed the cells were reproducing as expected. She gave a soft smile as the tube filled with the liquid she liked to call "human fertilizer", which would help the clones grow to their correct proportions in the span of a few weeks.

Cleo removed her protective lab gear, carelessly throwing her gloves on the ground. She wasn't alive, there was no danger of hazardous disposal. And her lab was entirely Joe-proof, so not even he could mess this up. There was nothing left to do now but wait.

Cleo started in stunned panic at the last tube. Oh no. No no no.

Instead of a recognizable hermit taking shape by now, it was a small, bean shaped fetus. Something was very very wrong.

The other clones were nearly finished, already clearly resembling Cleo's friends. But instead of a nearly fully grown adult, there was a developing BABY in the last tube.

Cleo was terrified. She had no idea what could've gone wrong. She swabbed each hermits individual bases EXACTLY so this had no chance of happening. What was she going to do?! It was too small to even see any definitive traits of who the parents could be, but even if there was, what was Cleo going to do? Just walk up to them and hand them their accidental test tube baby, sorry and good luck?

Cleo paused her panicked fidgeting. That could actually work. She did just successfully create a scientific breakthrough, accidental or not. Surely that was something no-one could be mad at. All things considered she should be very proud of herself, actually. How hard could taking care of a kid be anyway? Cleo found it relatively easy; that's why she was a teacher before she died, after all. She loved the little buggers.

Surely it would be fine. Everything would be just fine.

Cleo sat in front of the cloning tube, now an artificial womb. The soft green light from the tube shone on Cleo's thoughtful face, her eyes focused on the small little creation growing in front of her.

What a miraculous turn of events.

Mumbo was awoken in the dead of night by something banging on the door to his hobbit hole.

He blearily looked around the bedroom, unsuccessfully trying to blink away the sleep from his eyes. He saw the light from his son's charging cord gently pulsing in the corner of the room, Grumbot still soundly resting in sleep mode. Rain battered the glass ceiling of the two-room house, the trees along the coast lashing in the monsoon-like winds.

The banging at the door came again, and Grian stirred at Mumbo's side. "Whazzit." Grian mumbled without opening his eyes. Mumbo listened intently at the knocks.

"Zombie." Mumbo realized, Grian groaning in annoyance in response. "You geddit." Grian stated, waving a hand vaguely towards the direction of the door. Mumbo sighed exaggeratedly, resigning himself. "It's raining," he complained, but was met with pointedly fake snores from his husband.

Mumbo shook his head with a small smile, pulling back the blanket to swing his legs over the side of the bed. He yawned and stretched as he stood up, shaking out his hands before grabbing his netherite sword from the bedside chest. Zombies weren't terribly dangerous, but Mumbo doubted he could take one on without serious damage if he was sleepy.

He swung open the door to his hobbit hole, sword poised to strike, but stopped suddenly as he recognized Cleo's face staring back at him, sopping wet and holding a mess of blankets. "I guess I was right," Mumbo stammered with a small laugh, not knowing what else to say. "There was a zombie at my door."

"Very funny." Cleo scoffed, wrinkling her nose to signify no harm done. "What--it's the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" Mumbo asked, sheathing his sword and yawning again.

Cleo opened her mouth, but was instantly cut off by a massive thunderclap. The mess of blankets she was holding suddenly came to life, squirming and bawling its lungs out.

Mumbo stared as Cleo frantically shushed the thing in her arms, gently rocking it back and forth. "Is that a baby?!" Mumbo gasped. "I would love to come in, if you don't mind." Cleo said dryly, purposely ignoring his question.

"O-Oh, of course--get out of this weather, goodness--" Mumbo stuttered, moving aside.

"Hold this." Cleo said distractedly, shoving the screaming bundle of soaked blankets into Mumbo's arms after he shut the door to the raging storm. Cleo shook off the water like a dog, spraying Mumbo and his nice furniture with a shower of droplets. "Ack--Cleo, come on!" Mumbo complained over the wailing of the creature in his arms.

"It's fiiine." Cleo responded, wringing out her hair over the doormat. "You can't just say 'it's fine' whenever you do something," Mumbo muttered, knowing he was fighting a losing battle. He turned his attention to the bundle in his arms as Cleo peeled off her soaked striped socks.

Mumbo pulled back the top covering of the screaming heap, revealing what he'd recognized from the beginning; a small human baby, very clearly newborn.

"Is that a baby?" Mumbo looked up to see Grian, out of bed and staring at the poor thing in Mumbo's arms. "Hi Cleo. Oh hi Grian! I'm doing great, thanks for asking!" Cleo flipped her hair back from her face and glared at Grian, the avian sticking his tongue out at her in return.

"Here--can you get new blankets, Gri? These are soaked." Mumbo asked, unconsciously slipping into Dad Mode. He freed the still crying baby from the soaking bundle, unceremoniously dumping the blankets on the floor.

Cleo moved to sit her wet butt on Mumbo's nice couch as he tried to quiet the baby. "Where--where did it come from? Why the middle of the night?" Mumbo stammered, wordlessly handing the child over to Grian, who had returned with clean warm blankets. The baby was dressed in a plain leather tunic, something Grian quickly replaced for an old nightshirt of Grumbot's. It was still too big, but at least it was dry.

Cleo took a breath, clasping her hands together on her knees. Mumbo and Grian sat on the couch across from her, the baby finally quieting from ear-splitting wails to snuffled fussing. "Please explain, Cleo. Who's is it?" Mumbo pleaded, moving a hand through his hair.

"Well, ah, it came from my lab." Cleo began nervously. "Yes, I have a lab." She interjected at Mumbo's surprised look. "And uh. Well, it's yours."

Grian snapped his head up from the baby, having the same shocked-slash-confused look as Mumbo. "Wh--what? Sorry?" Mumbo stammered. "We're both boys." Grian stated stupidly. "Men. We're men." He corrected, going red.

Cleo rolled her eyes. "It's not a traditional baby, dummies. It's a test tube baby. A--an accidental one." Cleo wrung her hands awkwardly at Mumbo and Grian's faces.

"How do you make an accidental test tube baby, Cleo?!" Mumbo exclaimed. He wasn't mad, just--well, extremely confused. "Why were you making a test tube baby in the first place?!" Grian continued. Cleo held her hands up in surrender. "I--okay--I'm making a hermit zoo exhibit! And I'm cloning you! For the zoo! And uh--well, THAT happened." Cleo explained, gesturing at the small being in Grian's lap. "I individually swabbed your bases, so--I'm not really sure how it happened?" Cleo stuttered.

Mumbo stared. "Cleo. We're married. We live together." Mumbo said, holding up his hand to display the ring Grian had made him.

Cleo stared back. "Oh. Well, that would make sense." She rubbed the back of her neck self consciously. "Cleo, you came to the wedding!" Grian stated incredulously. "You were my groomsmaid!!" Cleo winced. "Right. That's right. I remember now." She said apologetically.

"I--anyways. That baby is a perfect mix of your DNA, so--I mean, technically speaking, I managed to create life without the use of traditional means, so you should be not mad, you should be impressed, really." Cleo rambled.

Mumbo opened his mouth and then closed it again. His redstone brain was truly very impressed, actually, but his parent brain took over. "So you just--gave us a baby? We have a baby now, that's it?" He asked, his voice pitching.

Grian gasped quietly next to Mumbo, pulling his attention from an increasingly nervous Cleo. Grian was staring at the baby, who had finally quieted into idle murmuring. "He has your eyes, Mumby." Grian whispered, his voice catching. Mumbo leaned over, startled to see the same shade of red as his staring back at him. "Oh," Mumbo breathed, a strange feeling coming over him.

Grian held out his finger to the baby and was immediately grasped by the tiny thing's button-sized hand, letting out a coo of endearment and peeking the smallest of smiles. The baby was a naked newborn, hardly a day old, but Mumbo was instantly struck by how much the little smile reminded him of Grian.

Mumbo finally looked away from the baby to Cleo, who brandished a smug grin. Mumbo huffed in annoyance he couldn't bring himself to feel.

"Well...he needs a name." Mumbo reluctantly stated, silently accepting the new member to the family that Cleo had brought them. Cleo grinned wider, undoubtedly coming to the same conclusion that he had.

"Jrum--wait." Grian bit on a laugh. "We can't call him Jrumbot, Grian." Mumbo corrected dryly over Cleo and Grian's giggling. "Okay, how about Junior, then?"

Mumbo wrinkled his nose. "That sounds patronizing. And cliche." He disagreed. Grian hummed in thought while their unnamed son sucked on his finger.

"Okay, how about Juni? That's got a nice ring to it," Grian suggested. Mumbo smiled. "You're just saying that because you can't think of another name than Junior." He teased, letting out a laugh when Grian shoved him in response.

"I like Juni." Cleo piped up, visibly more relaxed after knowing they wouldn't be mad at her.

Mumbo looked down at their new son again, his bright red eyes now curiously swiveling around to everything he could see. He was so young, so small and fragile, and yet Mumbo could already see so much life in him.

"Yeah." Mumbo said, swallowing a sudden lump in his throat. "I like Juni too."

_____________________________________________________________

Chapter 10: Lord of Thunder

2 weeks later I wandered through the halls of Grandmaster’s tower, wasting time until Bea was done with her rounds. Eventually, I turned down a corridor leading towards a set of elevators in hopes of finding something to eat before I made my way to the bar. I quickly turned my head when I saw a flash of movement, but I wasn’t fast enough; a hand covered my mouth, dragging me into a dark room; the figure shut the door, cutting off any light from the hall. I thrashed, trying to break the hold around my torso, but the person behind me was too strong; I yelped against the cool hand when I slammed into a wall. “Violet!” I froze. I recognized that voice; I stilled, trying to make out the features of the face a few inches from mine. Loki dropped his hand, but his body kept me pinned to the wall. “Damnit, Loki! You almost gave me a heart attack!” I yelled, swinging a fist at his head. Loki caught my wrist, his eyes never leaving my face; I relaxed against the wall, taking deep breaths, trying to calm my racing heart. I gasped when Loki’s lips brushed against the column of my throat. “Sorry” -he placed another soft kiss against my throat- “need you.” Loki nipped at the base of my neck, forcing a soft moan from my lips. I quickly melted into him, the curve of my body molding against him; Loki worked his way up my neck, his lips touching every inch he could. Loki’s relaxed attitude caught me off guard after his rough attempt to get me into the room; I expected rushed, animalistic sex, but this, this was quite nice. His slow, gentle movements brought my pounding heartbeat back down as I melted under his touch; his lips moved along my jaw until he pressed a tender kiss to my lips. I melted further into him, moaning softly as his tongue traced the curve of my lip, not thinking twice about letting him in. Loki sighed as our tongues lazily slid against each other, his fingers teasing the thin line of skin between the bottom of my breastplate and the top of my pants. I broke the kiss when my lungs burned with a need for oxygen, resting my forehead against Loki’s, panting in sync with him. “You’re in a pleasant mood today,” I hummed, smiling softly. “I thought I lost you,” Loki muttered, his thumb tracing the curve of my jaw. I almost missed the slight catch in his voice. “We’ve been through a lot together, most of it initiated by one of us, but I truly thought you were gone. I realize how much I need you, how much I cherish you, and I want to show you.” Loki’s voice was thick with emotion, making my chest tighten with admiration; I sucked in a shaky breath, slowly opening my eyes, finding his bottom lip pulled between his teeth and his eyes still closed. “Don’t go soft on me, trickster,” I croaked around the lump in my throat. Loki chuckled softly, a smirk lifting his cheekbone higher on his face as the pad of his thumb drifted across my cheek. “Only for you, my love.” Loki took a deep breath, his green eyes still hidden from me. “I never, in a million years, thought I’d feel this, this deep longing when you’re gone. I never imagined I’d experience the way my heart swells when you’re close. I didn’t think I was capable, yet here I am, hopelessly in love with you, Violet. My wife, my queen,” Loki whispered, his voice shaky. “I always wondered what kept us so intricately intertwined, and I still have yet to figure it out,” I whispered, my fingers tangling in the hair on the back of his neck. “I don’t care. All I know is I need you,” Loki breathed, the pad of his thumb tracing the curve of my lower lip. Loki’s eyes opened slightly, his gaze trained on my lips, watching his thumb dragging along the soft skin of my lip. The tip of his tongue poked out, leaving a glistening trail over his bottom lip as it moved slowly. I gently gripped Loki’s hair, tilting his mouth towards mine, moaning softly when our lips slanted together. I noticed a faint taste of honey from his favorite pastries, only making me want more of him. I was so caught up in the sensation of Loki’s tongue gliding along the roof of my mouth that I jumped when his free hand slid under the waistband of my pants. I craved more but stopped myself, forcing myself to relish in the tenderness of the moment; a moan, muted by Loki’s lips, filled the air between us as a finger slid between my already slick folds. Loki groaned, deep and alluring, as he slowly found what he was looking for; the soft pad of his finger brushed against my bundle of nerves, forcing the air out of my lungs with a soft gasp, breaking the kiss. Loki slowly pulled his hand back, giving me no time to protest before he gently guided me away from the wall; my thighs hit the edge of what I assumed was a table a few seconds later. I met Loki’s, now open, eyes as his hands moved from my hips to unfasten the sides of my breastplate; he lifted the armor and my cloak over my head in one easy motion. I ran a hand over his clothed chest, his eyes falling shut as he hummed softly; with a simple thought, I watched my magic eat away at the leather covering his chest. “It’s been too long,” I whispered, resting my palm over his heart. Loki sucked in a ragged breath, leaning into my touch as he cupped my face, coaxing our mouths together. His hands lingered on my face for a moment before skimming down my neck, pausing at my chest; I moaned in Loki’s mouth when his thumb brushed over my pebbled nipple. His hands only lingered for a few more seconds before reaching the waistband of my pants again; I followed his lead, letting my hands glide over the toned plains of his chest and stomach until my fingers traced along his hips. I struggled to maintain the pace Loki set, craving more but not wanting to rush a single second of worshiping the god in front of me. Removing the last bit of fabric left us standing naked, pressed together, only our wedding bands hanging around our necks. Loki smiled sweetly at me before gently lifting me to sit on the table I was leaning against, stepping between my spread knees. I gasped softly at the raw vulnerability I found in Loki’s eyes. “Beautiful,” Loki breathed against my lips. “Absolutely irresistible.” Sealing our lips together again, Loki trailed feather-soft touches over my thighs, slowly making his way to where I need him most. My body hummed in anticipation, a surprised moan falling from my lips when Loki’s fingers pushed into my aching core, his thumb brushing my throbbing bud. I steadied myself with a hand on his shoulder as he languidly pumped his fingers. Heat grew like a wildfire in my belly, spreading over my entire body as I rocked against his fingers. Pulling my lips from Loki’s, I rested my forehead against his, pants mixed with moans filling the space between our lips; my free hand drifted over his stomach until I could wrap a hand around his hard length. Loki gasped, stopping his movement, getting lost in the feeling of my hand around him. “Please,” I begged, pulling him closer by the shoulder, releasing his cock. I whined, his knuckles dragging as he pulled his fingers away, quickly replaced with his tip pressing against my opening. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, taking a moment to admire his kiss swollen lips and flushed cheeks; Loki’s lidded, blown out eyes locked with mine, keeping my gaze as he pushed forward. Loki’s brows pulled closer together with every inch, ragged breaths passing over his slightly parted lips. My head lolled back, mouth open in a silent scream as my walls stretched for Loki, pulsing when he was fully seated. Loki gripped the back of my neck, lifting my head, connecting our lips in a searing kiss; I moaned desperately into his mouth when he rocked his hips forward. Something resembling his name passed my lips when he finally started to move; continuous waves of pleasure raked over me every time Loki brushed against my g spot. Our kisses became sloppy, teeth knocking together, broken up with moans. “Violet.” Hearing my name fall from Loki’s lips with such heated desperation almost sent me over the edge that instant. He wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling our hips closer together, now fully hitting my g spot, causing me to clench around him. Loki and I both let out wanton moans at the new sensation; Loki’s pace quickened slightly, chasing his orgasm as I shook against him, feeling mine building. Finally, Loki slammed home hard, sending me barreling into my orgasm, white spots clouding my vision as I screamed incoherently as the tightly wound coil snapped. Loki worked me through my orgasm, groaning as I clenched around him, causing his thrusts to falter. After a few more thrusts, Loki came with a loud, broken moan that shot pleasure straight to my core. We slumped together, desperately clinging to each other as we panted. "Wow,” I whispered. Loki laughed against me, gently running his fingers through my hair. “I was thinking the same thing,” he chuckled. “Usually, we’re tearing each other’s clothes off or hate fucking.” I couldn’t help but bark out a laugh at that because he wasn’t wrong. “We have such a healthy relationship,” I giggled. Loki chuckled, standing up straight to look at me; my heart swelled when I was met with waves of admiration and love crashing in his pine green eyes. “After everything we’ve been through, all the terrible things we’ve done, I love you. Nothing has been able to change that, and nothing in the future is ever going to change that.” Loki rested his palm against my cheek, his thumb rubbing soothing strokes across my skin. “I love you too, Loki,” I croaked, leaning into his touch. Loki’s leaned closer, pressing his lips to mine in a blinding kiss that could put the rising sun to shame. “As much as I would love to stay here all day, I’m sure we are being missed right now,” Loki mumbled against my lips. “Fiiine,” I groaned, placing one more chaste kiss on his lips. Loki slid his now soft cock out of me, sending a chill up my spine; I hopped off the table, unsteady on my feet for a moment but started looking for my clothing. Suddenly, green magic was crawling over my skin, quickly replacing my armor just as it was before. “Darling, magic is so much easier,” Loki laughed at my confused expression. “I sometimes forget,” I admitted, slightly embarrassed. Loki barked out a laugh, wrapping his arm around my shoulder to pull me into his now leather-covered chest. “I love you,” he chuckled. “Yeah, yeah, let’s go, trickster,” I huffed, smacking him playfully. Loki continued to laugh as he laced his fingers with mine, pulling me out of the dark room into the blinding light of the hallway. “My gods,” he mumbled, shielding his eyes for a moment. “Ah! Loki, Scrapper 210, your presence is required,” a small voice called from somewhere in front of us. Once my eyes adjusted, I saw the figure of a servant standing at the end of the hall, waiting patiently. “Follow me,” she called. “Let’s go, my queen,” Loki sighed, squeezing my hand. Can’t even enjoy the afterglow of mind-blowing sex. Loki snorted at something, but I huffed in irritation, begrudgingly following him down the hall. The young servant gestured us into the elevator before hitting the button to take us to the arena. “There’s a fight today?” I asked. “Yes, a formidable opponent was picked up in the scrap yard today,” the young girl answered. “Yay,” I sneered, causing Loki to snort next to me. The servant shot a dirty look over her shoulder but didn’t say anything. The elevator dinged before the doors opened; the girl gestured at a lounge before walking off. Loki pulled me into the room, handing me a drink as we passed a server before grabbing one for himself. I spotted the faint outline of Bea sitting on her ship that hovered off to the side of the arena. “There you are!” Grandmaster cheered when we stepped down to the bench he occupied. “I’m sorry we’re late. We didn’t know anyone was looking for us,” Loki offered as he guided me to sit. “You’re just in time,” Grandmaster smirked, grabbing the microphone in front of him to announce the lesser of the two fights. I sighed again, leaning my head against the arm Loki slung over my shoulders. Then, out of habit, I pulled the chain from under my armor, spinning the ring on my finger; Loki’s fingers were suddenly holding mine, rubbing the metal band with me. I hummed happily, cuddling closer to his side when Loki’s lips pressed against the side of my head. “Who is this formidable foe that was brought in?” I asked, turning away from Loki. “He called himself the Lord of Thunder or something like that. He wasn’t very intimidating when sparkles came from his fingers, but he’s clearly a warrior,” Grandmaster droned on, but Loki and I stopped listening at the mention of the name. Simultaneously, Loki and I reached for the other’s mind. Lord of Thunder? Do you think he meant God of Thunder?? I sent to Loki, my anxiety spiking. It’s not crazy to think he made it here too. He fell from the Bifrost last. I didn’t make it here until almost a month after you landed. I’ll see if I can find him. Loki rambled in his head, making me dizzy. Calm down, my dear. You’re making me dizzy. I smiled at Loki, trying to calm his whirlwind of thoughts. I’m sorry, little one. Loki shot me a tight smile. Go, see if you can find him. I rested a hand on Loki’s knee, squeezing lightly. Cover for me. He winked before I felt him slip off, his body relaxing against me. It was slightly unnerving to witness astral projection; watching Loki’s mind be in two places at once sent chills down my spine. I jumped when I felt Loki’s hand twitch against my shoulder, meaning he was probably talking with his hands; hopefully, talking means he found his brother. I shifted to look up at his face, stifling a laugh when I saw the scowl on his face; he must have heard me giggle because Loki’s head turned to look at me. I shivered at the faraway look in his eyes, but he smiled, turning back towards the fight again. A few minutes passed before I felt Loki tense next to me, followed by a faint probing in my head. He’s here. Loki’s thoughts felt less tense after finding Thor. Is he okay? I wondered, feeling slightly relieved too. Yes, but he’s fighting next. He’s up against the champion. Loki sighed to himself. Bea said the champion’s pretty tough, but I have faith in Thor. I tried to stay optimistic; Thor’s a great warrior. I could faintly hear Grandmaster announcing the fight, called Thor Lord of Thunder for the second time. Here we go. What the hell happened to his hair! Loki howled with laughter in his head. I tried to hold my laughter in as I watched Thor strut into the arena, his long golden hair chopped short, making it look almost brown now. Okay, pay attention. I scolded Loki, shushing his laughing fit before pulling my magic away. As Grandmaster announced the champion, the entire arena shook; I glanced at Loki, finding the same concerned look on his face as we watched the door opposite Thor. “Ladies and gentlemen….I give you…” -the doors opposite Thor explode off the hinges- “The Incredible Hulk!” I watched Thor’s expression shift from a hardened warrior scowl to pure, radiation joy. “Yes!!” Thor screamed. “No fucking way.” I blanch, leaning forward in my seat, staring at the beast pounding his chest, roaring as the crowd cheers; I chance a look at Loki. “We need to get off this planet,” Loki stammered, his already porcelain skin somehow whiter as all the color drained out of his face. Grandmaster shot us a pointed look when we tried to stand, pinning us back in our seats. “How did Banner get here!” I whispered harshly. “I wish I knew!” Loki shot back; his elbows braced against his knees. “Hey! We know each other. He’s a friend from work!” Thor yelled, looking up at the box we sat in before turning back to talk to Banner again. “Work, really,” I mumbled, but Loki stayed quiet. “Loki!” -Thor turned again, waving up at his brother- “Look who it is.” Loki stayed frozen, fear written all over his face, most likely remembering the last encounter he had with the Hulk. Loki and I sat transfixed as we watched Thor try to bring Banner back, but the Hulk was not having it; Hulk attacked Thor, sending him flying across the arena. Thor quickly gave up on talking, deciding to attack, landing a handful of shots before sending the Hulk flying into a pile of rubble. “What?” Grandmaster mumbled next to us, severely underestimating Thor. “Hey big guys, the sun’s getting real low,” Thor coos, slowly walking closer to Hulk. “What the hell is that?” I mumbled to Loki, who only shrugs, his brows pulled together as he watches his brother. Thor continues rambling about the sun, reaching a hand towards the Hulk, a bright smile on his face. I gasped when Hulk yanked Thor off his feet, smashing him into the ground repeatedly. “Yes! That’s how it feels!” Loki shouted, shooting out of his seat. I jumped, almost falling off the bench at his sudden outburst; I noticed Grandmaster staring at Loki, confused. “He’s a big fan of the sport,” I laughed; the Grandmaster turned back to the arena with a grunt. “Sit down!” I scolded quietly, yanking Loki down. Embarrassment bloomed across his cheeks as he landed roughly on the bench next to me; he scooted closer, hiding his red face, watching his brother. Thor had enough; he blocked attacks from the Hulk, countering with crushing blows. Thor occasionally yelled something, hoping to get through to Banner with no luck. Hulk manages to lands a crippling punch, launching Thor across the arena, following close behind; Hulk stood over Thor, pummeling him, snapping Thor’s head back and forth. I cringed at each blow, leaning further into Loki every time Thor’s head snapped to the side until I caught a glimpse of something when the Hulk shifted for another punch. Blinding white light poured out of Thor’s eye sockets, electricity crackling across his skin; Thor lunged forward, his fist connecting with the Hulk’s face, lightning exploding from his fist. Thor slowly got to his feet, his eyes traveling over his arms, almost amazed at his powers. I turned towards Loki when I felt him shift next to me, seeing an astonished look on his face, pride dancing in his eyes. Thor continued his assault, lightning crackling through the arena, as he got the upper hand until the Obedience disk on his neck jolted to life, sending him crumbling to the floor. “No, no,” Loki whispered, grabbing my arm before I could make a move towards Grandmaster. "Loki,” I snapped, trying to tug my arm away. “No.” Loki glared at me, his eyes pinning me in place; I grunted, slouching back as I watched the Hulk momentarily hover above the arena. I screwed my eyes shut, turning my face into Loki’s shoulder, cringing when I heard the Hulk’s impact. Loki reached over with the opposite hand, stroking my hair as he whispered ‘he’s fine’ against my head. “We’re going to find him,” I muttered, getting to my feet; Loki followed my lead. “Where are you going?” Grandmaster asked, almost sounding hurt. “Scrapper 142 asked for my help after the fight,” I answered quickly. “Okay, well, Loki, stay awhile. You have credits to collect,” Grandmaster winked, ignoring my presence. “Uh yes, I almost forgot,” Loki stammered, shooting me a pleading look. “I’ll find you when I know how he is,” I whispered. “You’re awful; you know that,” Loki grumbled. “I love you too,” I chuckled, pressing a chaste kiss to his cheek before running out of the lounge.
