Frat Pheromones

“BRO,” Chad yelled across the frat house, his muscular arms wrapped across the tiny nerd's back as he lifted him into the air in a bear hug. He couldn’t believe the nerdy chemistry major had done it.

Chad’s girlfriend Cassy had been such a bitch lately and Chad was getting worried so he had asked this nerd for help. All he had to do was spray these pheromones on himself and the next person to see him would fall deeply in love with him and become the perfect submissive girlfriend.

“There’s only one thing,” the nerd interrupted, “You’ll also fall deeply in love with whoever the spray affects.”

“Bruh I don’t care, if I can get Cassy to chill out and ride my dick whenever I want I’d be into her again anyway.”

Chad brushed past the nerd, his broad shoulders pushing into the nerd causing him to stumble. Chad sent a quick text to Cassy “Hey babe i got sm 4 u cum ovr.”

The sexy jock ran to his room, his sexy bubble butt jiggling as he went up the stairs. Chad sprayed the pheromones all over himself as he waited in his room for his girl. As he waited he heard the door knob turn and stood up. “Hey dude we’re going on a beer run wanna come.” The person at the door wasn’t Cassy but his frat bro Shawn. Shawn’s eyes widened as the pheromones hit him. The fellow jock ripped off his own shirt revealing a shelf of juicy pecs and row after row of abs before charging at Chad. Chad met Shawn with a deep passionate kiss tongues wrestling as Chad pushed Shawn against the bedroom wall. Shawn let out a deep moan as Chad groped one of his plump pecs.

Shawn’s pants hit the floor and Chad turned him around before plunging his 8 inch dick deep in Shawn’s virgin ass. Shawn let out another moan “DADDY” he yelped as Chad thrusted deep inside him grunting. Chad was lost deep inside the rhythmic thrusts of Shawns fat ass when Cassy walked in the room. Chad and Shawn barely acknowledged when Cassy screamed and ran out of the room crying.

Chad’s hands were guiding Shawn’s hips as he exploded deep inside Shawn and they fell to the floor. Shawn looked deep into Chad’s eyes “I think I love you bro.” 

“I love you too baby.” 

The rest of the frat was surprised when Chad and Shawn came out as gay but they were supportive. The two of them were quickly the most popular couple on campus with their matching muscles and golden boy looks.

Lucid Dreaming

a/n: I’m soooo sorry this has taken forever! I hope you’re still around

wc: 1.4k

The line between friends and acquaintances was always foggy. At what point did someone go from being a casual encounter to a bosom friend? Some people seem to radiate a type of energy immediately recognizable as “friend energy,” and Shawn was one of those people for you. His gorgeous smile and contagious laugh made him enjoyable to be around, you couldn’t help it. Even if you had only met him briefly here and there, you couldn’t help but refer to him as your friend behind closed doors.

Everyone around him loved him, understandably, and it wasn’t as if they could prevent it. He was unconditionally outgoing, always ready to listen or laugh. When he talked to you, he made eye contact like you were the only thing in the world. He never failed to make you feel special, but then again, he treated everyone like that. Occasionally, (more often than not), it made you jealous to see him with anyone else but he hardly knew you. What could you expect?

“Someone’s jealous,” your best friend would tease whenever she caught you staring at him forlornly, eyes green with envy.

“I’m not jealous,” you would protest. “I don’t even know him.”

It was true that you had only been on the receiving end of his undying attention a handful of times, but you felt like the entire world rested on those moments. He haunted your dreams with his gorgeous honey-brown eyes and adorable curls, his rosy cheeks, and his uplifting, luminous smile. His lush pink lips always accompanied these dreams, along with his pearly teeth, perfectly defined abs, and smooth, able hands, which had a habit of snaking up your thighs when you least expected them.

Occasionally, he managed to lose his illustrious demeanor in your dreams, appearing as either a frat boy or an affectionate boyfriend, but he was the same Shawn both ways, the one you barely knew, yet couldn’t live without.

Almost as a survival instinct, your dreams began coming true.

One day, you ran into him at a grocery store. Miraculously, you ended up behind him in line, close enough to smell the faint, masculine scent etched into the air. He was dressed in skinny black jeans and a simple white t-shirt, accentuating his broad back and muscular shoulders. His hair was arranged in a perfect mass of curls atop his head, and you couldn’t help but admire it… until he turned around to meet you.

His dark eyebrows raised in surprise as he recognized you, and you couldn’t pull your skittish eyes from his warm, welcoming ones. Just as he opened his mouth to speak to you, the woman in front of him in line finished checking out. He turned away without a word and, once you had finished checking out, he was gone.

He was such a curse. The mere thought of him plagued your mind, making it all but impossible to concentrate on anything. Any encounter with him had you fucked for weeks; dreaming about him at night, during the day, and every moment in between.

One night, you dreamed about seeing him at the beach.

The ocean spanned endlessly before you, wafting its warm, salty breeze toward you tantalizingly. You were alone, dressed in an emerald green swimsuit that accentuated your body perfectly. A layer of sunscreen on top of your newly-tanned skin made you glow in the sunlight. Your hair was tossed carelessly into a messy bun atop your head, along with a pair of sunglasses you didn’t plan on wearing.

You laid your towel down on the sand a few yards away from the beach access and assessed your surroundings. A large group of people was congregated about waist-deep in the water, but one man, in particular, caught your attention. He was tall and muscular, his back tanned by the sun, and his helmet of curls dripping wet with saltwater.

Part of you wanted to believe this someone was Shawn. As nonchalantly as you could, you began creeping slowly closer, pretending to snap pictures of the horizon as you waded into the crystal-clear waters.

A water fight broke out among the group, and the man ducked towards you, laughing, to escape a blow from a beer can now filled with water. Your breath caught in your throat as you caught a glimpse of his face, but you couldn’t tell whether or not it was him.

He visibly noticed you, his hazel eyes fixed on you, and your heart caught in your throat. As soon as it started, however, his attention returned to the water fight.

Another night, you dreamed that you met him, suddenly an attractive bartender, at a club. And yet another night, he brought you home with him from the same club. He laid you in his bed beside him for the night, lying down himself as far away from you as he could to give you respectful space.

Before he knew it, however, you were in his arms with your face buried in his bare chest as you breathed in his scent and traced the contour of his arms, which laid in stark tan contrast against the immaculate white sheets. Your fingers roamed his unclothed upper body, tracing his intricate tattoos meticulously while he fussed over your hair.

“You can’t go to sleep with it down,” he reasoned as you fought his arms in order to trace his guitar skyline tattoo. “It’ll get all tangled and knotty. If you’ll let me braid it, it’ll be smooth and wavy when you wake up. It won’t take forever, I promise.”

“Can you do it later?” you bargained as your hands ventured to his pecs once more to feel the hard muscles move beneath your palms as he rolled over to face you.

“It’s past midnight already, darling. Don’t you think sleep should be a priority?”

“No,” you stated blankly, mulling the situation over in your head before adding, “but I will let you braid my hair.”

Shawn’s fingers made quick work of weaving your hair into two broad French braids. He admired his work once he was done.

“It’s about bedtime now, don’t you think?” he asked sheepishly, to your dismay.

“Please, let me finish tracing your tattoos,” you pleaded, reaching for his hand and clutching it to your chest.

“Finish the swallow and we can go to sleep,” he compromised. “You can finish in the morning. You’re much drunker than I am, but we could both use the rest.”

It was true that you were exhausted at that moment, longing to curl up against your hookup’s chest and melt into him as your world dissolved into that of a dream. The temptation overcame you. You lost yourself in his comforting warmth as his hands caressed your back steadily. His chest rose and fell beside you, creating a rhythm that lulled you to sleep.

Your subconscious made you feel safe and secure encompassed in Shawn’s strong arms, and beside his broad, muscular chest. When you awoke in the morning, feeling rejuvenated and chipper, you reached for him as you had done every morning you’d woken up beside him. Something was different, though.

Shawn was nowhere to be found.

You opened your eyes to see your own familiar bed, in your own familiar bedroom, and the same familiar sunlight streaming through your sheer curtains.

A dissatisfied puff of air escaped your lips as you tried to recall the dream, now hazy in your mind. All you could think about was Shawn, and how the truth was that he could be anywhere with anyone right then, and you had no say in it. Your dream world could be some lucky person’s reality, and you would never know.

A tear of frustration slipped from your tear line down your cheek, but before you could wipe it away, a smooth, low voice cut through your silence.

“I didn’t know you were still here.”

“What?”

“Nothing. I just thought you’d gone home.” You felt the side of the bed dip as he sat down on it, rolling onto his side and perching his chin on your shoulder. He moved his large hands to your hips, holding them tightly as he kissed your cheek. His pink lips were smooth and consoling against your skin.

You allowed them to roam freely across your face and travel down your neck and shoulders, left exposed by a skimpy spaghetti-strap tank top. His fingers ran down your arms delicately, conditioned and calloused by his guitar strings. Goosebumps rose in the wake of his touch.

“Oh, look at you,” he hummed, pleasantly surprised by the slick, moist coating in your panties upon further inspection. “All it takes is for me to leave, hm? Tell me, dear. What were you up to while I was gone?”

Sorry for the really stupid question. I'm straight but I'm really interested in the lgbtq+ community. I see a lot of comments about how Harry is straight presenting and Shawn is gay presenting. I don't know if that's the right terms but the gay community specifically recognizes Shawn as one of them but they don't recognize Harry as one of them which is a reason for the queerbaiting discourse, because Harry doesn't act like a stereotypical gay man. I know about Shawn but don't follow him much. I just wondered what is it that they're picking up from him but not Harry. Because both men have beards and Shawn did a denial. What's the difference. If that makes sense. Also what would Harry have to do for them to recognize him as one of their own, without needing to CO? Thanks

Hi, anon!

There is no need to apologise! I don't follow Shawn much either, but i think what queers are picking up on are stereotypes combined with queercoding and queerbaiting. The gaydar is going off. There is also not much gaslighting going on. Shawn isn't really making much of an effort to appear straight.

Shawn is living up to every queer stereotype, he's naturally effeminate, emotional, has a submissive personality, is twink-ish, and is soft spoken with a feminine speaking tone. He's into yoga. He's done some homoerotic underwear shoots and other scantily clad photoshoots that's like catnip to gay men. He flirts with gay men (that he's also rumoured to be sleeping with) on social media and in person, he queercodes, says he likes men in crop tops, and have no sexual or romantical chemistry with women. He looks like their gay best friend. He's also had mental health struggles that he's hinted are about wanting to live his truth. There are thousands of blind items about him being gay, no straight rumours at all.

Shawn's looks, mannerisms and way of being are natural to him and it's authentic. Shawn acts, dresses and behaves the same in every setting and environment. He's not gaying it up on stage or for the camera. He's just being Shawn.

Harry does not fit the gay man stereotype. He's an alpha male. He's got several masculine traits. He's got a deep voice, a masculine body, no effeminate traits or mannerisms (unless you know what to look for), he's into hypermasculine sports like american football and boxing. He hangs out with men and has primarily male friends. He takes ice baths for fucks sake and golfs. He dresses like a frat boy when he's not working an event. So for him to communicate and signal to the queer community that he's gay he needs to queercode through fashion and adopt a more stereotypically gay man behaviour that doesn’t come naturally to him.

When he is on stage or in front of a camera he puts on a flamboyant persona and an act to show people he's gay. Since he's not naturally effeminate and people don't clock him as gay just by observing him, he's got to exaggerate the flamboyance and camp. He needs to make his songs gay. His problem is that when he's off stage he's back to snogging a stick thin female supermodel wearing his frat boy clothes and sporting buzzed hair. Since queers pick up on the inauthenticity and the discrepancy between H on stage and off stage, people are mad that his gay performance is just that, a performance. He isn't wearing nailpolish when golfing and his queer lyrics means nothing when he's only ever dated women. Queers want real queer representation and he isn't giving them it with his double personality/sexuality. It seems like he's doing it for attention, shock value and to attract queers as a target audience.

Masculine gay men/straight passing gay men will always struggle with queerbaiting accusations as long as they're closeted and project both gay and straight at the same time. H's problem is that he's so extreme about his projections. So i think a solution would be to bridge the gap. Be a bit more authentic and himself. Either he could tone down the gay on stage (H would hate it, please don't) or he could tone down his straight image (Sony would riot).

Effeminate gay men have the opposite problem, and a much more difficult task. They need to tone down their natural mannerisms and behaviour and ramp up the straight image. It's against their nature and it's difficult to make it seem authentic. It's also hard on their mental health (see Shawn and Louis).

I think for H to be recognised as gay by his community without having to come out he needs to stop stunting with feminine women. Heteronormativity is so ingrained in people, as are stereotypes. So when he doesn’t fit the gay stereotype, has been connected to 85 different women in his 14 year career, and is gaslighting his fans, that's hard to look past for queer people and the gp.

Triple H, Shawn Michaels x Fem Reader- "Going Away to College"

During a "Monday Night Raw" episode that aired at the beginning of 1998, Shawn Michaels and Triple H were in the back of a limousine, where they stated into the camera that the best thing about any university is "College chicks!".

Not to mention, some people could argue that D Generation X's gimmick---even during the late 1990's---were frat boys, and frat boys are defined as young men who behave in foolish manners typical of college fraternities.

If that doesn't describe D Generation X, then nothing does.

In that same episode where DX boast that the best thing about any college university is "College chicks!", you were sitting in the back of that limo with them, where you were wearing a white short sleeved crop top that bared a little bit of your torso with a plaid high waist miniskirt that covered your navel and white knee socks that reached your knees.

What you were wearing was basically the same outfits Kelly the Coed wears in those porn movies---especially on those VHS covers, although those movies would come out a year later.

You also didn't wear a bra under your top, so your nipples were slightly poking through the fabric of your shirt.

You predated Britney Spears by several months by wearing this slightly naughty schoolgirl outfit, although Sunny from the WWF was dressed as a naughty schoolgirl at the beginning of 1998 as well!

While you sat in the back of the limo with Shawn and Triple H, you were snuggled next to Triple H, who looked the sexiest out of the 2 during this episode.

One of your arms was draped behind the back of his shoulders while you looked at him with a smirk on your face and your feet nudging his feet and legs.

Sometimes when you sat in the limo, you raised your legs up and your panties were covering your vulva, yet your panties and this upskirt shot was broadcast on television, which you didn't mind.

You wore that schoolgirl inspired outfit just for Shawn and Triple H, you even mentioned to them you wore this outfit for them.

Of course they leered at you with happy smiles on their faces, their eyes studying you up and down as their mouths grinned.

You could've worn other college chick inspired outfits, like maybe a college sweatshirt and panties.

Those Kelly the Coed porn movies came out a year after this moment of you dressed like her, and they could've happened the following year, but D Generation X broke up next year.

MY OWN BOY MEETS WORLD REBOOT - WHO'S WHO (III)

Characters who are related to the main cast, excluding teens who also attend John Adams High or any other high school at the start of the show.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (I) - TOPANGA’S FAMILY

Chloe ‘Rhiannon’ Curtis. Topanga’s mother, when she was still a kid her mother left her father and took Chloe and her sister to live in a hippie commune where Chloe was renamed Rhiannon. As she grew up her sister and her left the commune, and Rhiannon got involved with several men, having two daughters, Nebula and Topanga, that she raised on her own without any involvement of their respective fathers. 

Nebula Curtis. Topanga’s older half-sister.

Prudence ‘Prue’ Curtis. Topanga’s maternal aunt, in later seasons she becomes her legal guardian so Topanga can stay in Philadelphia. She works at the local public library.

Wade Lawrence. One of the three men who might be Topanga’s biological father. He works as a public defenderwhich allows him to be introduced earlier than the storyline about who’s Topanga’s father, as Arthur’s family’s defense attorney in the case against the college frat boys who caused the accident that left Arthur in a wheelchair. After meeting Rhiannon again, the two rekindle their relationship, although Rhiannon is initially hesitant about it.

Jebediah Svensson. One of the three men who might be Topanga’s biological father. Of the three, he’s the one who still lives like when he was a hippie the most, owning a food store for vegans.

Wyatt Wagner. The last of the three candidates to be Topanga’s biological father, he seems to be the one who has left his days as a hippie behind the most, working now for a bank. Despite this, he offers to pay Topanga’s college tuition alone, wanting to do something nice for her whether she’s his biological daughter or not.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (II) - SHAWN’S FAMILY

Chet Hunter. Shawn and Jack’s father. His own family considers him a failure. He’s a recovered alcoholic, and while he was married to Jack’s mother, he was also abusive, although she didn’t leave him until he had Shawn with another woman. Soon after he met Virna and married her, making Shawn believe Virna was his mother. Although no longer an alcoholic, Virna was also deeply miserable being married to Chet because of his inability to keep a job, resulting in her constantly leaving, with Chet following her in an attempt to take her back, leaving Shawn behind, which is only the most extreme example of his negligence in regards to raising Shawn.

Jack Hunter. Shawn’s long-lost older half-brother, he basically took care of his younger brother after he was born. At just eight years old he ran away to live with his mother and her current husband, who soon after got full custody of him, so Jack never returned to the trailer park, leaving Shawn behind. His stepfather explicitly sent him to Sherman Edwards High instead of John Adams High because he thought that he would get a better education in a charter school than in a public one, and Rutledge Academy’s tuition prices were too expensive even for him. Although he’s part of his school’s football team and he usually hangs out with his teammates outside school, he admits that he prefers to keep a certain distance from them, with most of them remaining unaware that he spent the first years of his life in a trailer park. Emilia starts dating him without knowing he’s related to Shawn, but as soon as she able to deduce that Jack is that Jack, the situation becomes too awkward for her to keep dating him. Shawn isn’t exactly happy to see him again, feeling a lot of resentment for leaving him behind, although encouraged by Audrey the two brothers try to rekindle their relationship, with Jack himself recognizing that he regrets not taking Shawn with him when he ran away and apologizing for it. Once he graduates high school and goes to college he becomes Eric’s roommate, and later on, boyfriend.

Stella Woodward (née Cacciatore). The stripper with whom Chet had Shawn, she left her son to be raised by Chet soon after giving birth to him. Although it initially seems like no one knows anything about what happened to her, in later seasons Brizzi and Stacey admit to Shawn that they did some digging and discovered her whereabouts. Turns out that, soon after leaving Shawn, she ran away to Cleveland where she got married and had more kids.

Mike Hunter. Chet’s younger brother, who owns a car and motorcycle repair shop, making him the go-to character every time someone needs their car or motorbike repaired as soon as possible. He’s the only one among Shawn’s family members who doesn’t live in the Pink Flamingos Trailer Park, which according to interactions Chet has both with him and his mother instantly makes him his mother’s favorite. But, as Chet points out, the repair shop is right by the trailer park’s side, and his house isn’t that far from it. Shawn calls him the warmest and friendliest of all of his uncles, although, judging by how cold and aloof he acts, this says more about how badly the rest of Shawn’s uncles might be.

Gertie Hunter. Shawn’s paternal grandmother, everyone in the family is afraid of her. Shawn frequently recalls at different points several “games” he used to play with her when he was a kid, which makes everyone concerned about how she treated her grandson when he was little. She also never refers to Shawn by his name, calling him instead a wide range of despective nicknames, included “this little piggy”. She’s not very fond of Chet either, considering him the biggest failure among her sons. Her son Mike recalls the day when she found out about how Chet got Shawn as the day she was at her scariest, which, as Mike and Shawn themselves recognize, says a lot.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (III) - EMILIA’S FAMILY

Patrick Barrett. Emilia’s adoptive father, he works as a lawyer in the same firm as Amy does. One of his frequent clients is Karl Jacobs, and he despises everyone who lives at the trailer park, including Shawn. Ironically, his father was also raised in a trailer park. As his adoptive daughter grows up, she starts to realize the only reason she was adopted was so Patrick can vicariously live his frustrated dreams of youth through her. Ironically enough, in the latter seasons he abandons Emilia, proving once and for all that he’s not that different from Chet.

Jeremy Berry. Patrick’s husband in the early seasons, who works as a lawyer in the same law firm as him. They married after Patrick divorced Suze, although it is strongly implied that the two of them were already sleeping together when Patrick was still married. Despite being married to Patrick, he’s not legally Emilia’s adoptive parent, and he does little to no effort to parent her or Cassie anyway. Patrick and him like to pretend they’re a perfect couple, but it’s heavily implied that they frequently cheat on each other with younger men, and by the time Emilia starts ninth grade the two have already divorced. He makes a brief comeback in the sixth season after Patrick leaves Philadelphia, when he reveals he still owns their house after their divorce, and he plans to sell it as a way to get back at Patrick, even if that means evicting Emilia when she’s still a minor.

Ted Barrett. Emilia’s adoptive grandfather, and alongside his wife the only members of her adoptive family with whom she has a healthy, loving relationship. He worked as a pediatrician until he retired, even having Cory and Eric among his patients. Unlike his son, he doesn’t despise Shawn because of his background, even becoming sort of a mentor figure for him during the later seasons because, like him, he was raised in a trailer park and looked down upon because of it when he was young. When he finds out that Jeremy plans to sell the house, which means that his granddaughter would get evicted, they both buy the house so Emilia can stay, and becomes her legal guardian alongside his wife.

Tovah Shriki. Emilia’s adoptive grandmother. Unlike her husband, she has a more outspoken and confrontational personality, but like Ted she shows care and affection for not only Emilia but also Cassie. Tovah is a reputed journalist whose work has earned plenty of admirers like Feeny as well as detractors like her own son, still being active occasionally, writing in later seasons an exposé on the Jacobs family’s numerous dirty laundry. When her son leaves the state abandoning Emilia, her husband and her step up to become her legal guardians, even buying Patrick’s house.

Cassie Barrett. Emilia’s older adoptive sister. The relationship between the two girls isn’t amicable exactly, with Cassie seeing Emilia as a weirdo and someone whose father adopted to replaced her, while Emilia has always felt jealous about her sister being considered more attractive, and well-liked among the student body. She’s the captain of the cheerleaders, and like almost any other popular girl at John Adams High, Eric has dated her, or more accurately, at least tried to at some point. Shawn also dates her at some point before he dates Angela, who we found out later is in the same homeroom as Cassie, but he broke up with her when she made him decide between Cory and her. Although Maggie Espinosa calls her her best friend, she hooks up multiple times with her on-and-off-again boyfriend Noah Jacobs behind her back. When Maggie finds out she ends her relationships with the both of them, and after it Cassie becomes Noah’s new girlfriend officially, with the idea of them being the school’s power couple getting it to her head very quickly, while Noah becomes incresingly annoyed by her. Despite this, they don’t finally break up until they’re in college, and for a while Eric and Jack let her live with them before moving in with Rachel.

Angélica Sánchez. Emilia’s biological mother, she’s introduced way before the reveal as Alan’s coworker at the store. Initially hesitant to be part of Emilia’s life again, she’s encouraged by her father to do so, with her daughter even managing to spend one night at Angélica’s apartment. Unfortunately, that time is cut short.

Michael Sullivan. Emilia’s biological father, he died before Emilia was born. Before he died he worked as a cameraman for the local news.

Augusto Sánchez. Emilia’s biological maternal grandfather, he lives with Angélica, the only one of his three daughters who stayed in Philadelphia. He takes a lot of pride in the fact that he only had daughters, He’s the one who welcomes his granddaughter with the most enthusiasm. After Angélica’s death, his oldest daughter Gloria takes him to live with him in Albuquerque, although in later seasons Emilia goes to visit him.

Antonia Sánchez. Emilia’s biological maternal grandmother. Although she died before the first season’s events, it’s revealed that she lived enough to at least see her granddaughter Emilia being borned.

Gloria and Esperanza Sánchez. Angélica’s older sisters, no one of them live in Philadelphia. Gloria lives in Albuquerque and works as a cook in a restaurant that her husband owns, while Esperanza lives in California, is single and works in a fashion and lifestyle magazine. After their sister dies, Gloria takes her father to live with her in Albuquerque.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (IV) - ARTHUR’S AND LEO’S FAMILY

Gia Dashwood. Leo’s younger sister, in the later seasons she has a crush on Kaede’s younger brother Junji, which turns out to be reciprocate.

William Kacavas. Arthur’s father. He used to work in administration at Karl Jacobs’ company before the show’s events, but he quickly became too uncomfortable with the company’s numerous unethical practices and quitted his job to reopen his family business, a bakery, which he reworks to also be a coffee shop and a book store, where both Mr. Turner and Audrey usually hang out outside school grounds, and that is on the same street where Alan opens his own business later on. He had to raise his two sons on his own after his wife Tracy unexpectedly left one day. In later seasons, after his wife came back and officially divorced him, he marries Leslie, becoming Leo and Gia’s stepfather.

Tracy Kacavas (née Stănescu). Arthur’s mother, she left her husband before the events of the first season. After Arthur gets involved in a car accident where he’s left wheelchair-bound, she finally comes back after years. Although Arthur as well as his brother Cooper are happy to see their mother again, William is less so, but in the end he decides to be civil with his ex-wife for their sons’ sake. Unfortunately, once William and Tracy divorce, she goes away again.

Cooper Kacavas. Arthur’s much more attractive but not so smart, at least in what academics are concerned, older brother. He tries to make a name for himself as a model while dreaming about becoming an actor.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (V) - LILY’S AND KAEDE’S FAMILY

Judy Ferguson (née Hutcherson, later on Murata). Lily’s mother. She used to be quite outgoing when she was younger, even hanging out with Amy, but she became a housewife after marrying Russell, who always liked to paint his wife as this wild party animal out of control that he rescued from the wrong side of the tracks. After her husband kicks her youngest daughter out of the house for getting pregnant, she finally has the courage to leave him and take her daughter back, getting a job as a waitress and pie maker at a pie dinner, where she meets Kaede’s father James, who’s a regular customer. Soon after they start dating, and eventually get married.

Russell Ferguson. Lily’s father. He works at a bank, and likes to pretend to be the perfect husband and the perfect father, but behind closed doors he’s actually abusive towards both his wife and his children. The moment he finds out his youngest daughter got pregnant he kicks her out of the house, even telling her to be grateful that he’s only doing that. Ironically this is what helps his wife to finally get the courage to leave him for good.

Russell Ferguson Jr. Lily’s older brother, who attends college at the University of Pittsburgh. Although he’s the middle child, his father shows clear favoritism towards him, being the only boy. Like the rest of Judy’s offspring besides Lily, he disapproves anyhting that his mother does once she leaves their father.

Fanny Fabray (née Ferguson). Lily’s older sister. Despite being born before Russell, her father never refers to her as his first born child. Instead of going to college she got married right away with a guy several years older than her, and lives as a stay-at-home mom, constantly preaching about how her decission was so much better whenever she appears. Joke turns out to be on her, when she later finds out that not only have her husband constantly cheated on her, but that he has gotten several of his mistresses pregnant. Despite the fact that it happened on live TV, she stays with him, no matter how much her mother insisted her that she can leave him if she want to, telling her that her door would always be open for her.

James Murata. Kaede’s father, with whom she has an estranged relationship at the beginning, because she puts part of the blame of her older brother’s death on him. He owns a funeral home that’s right next to the pie diner where Judy works, so he’s a regular customer. He eventually marries Judy, becoming Lily’s stepfather.

Cynthia Murata. Kaede’s mother. Although she got shared custody of her children after the divorce, she barely takes care of them. Her relationship with her daughter is especially hostile, partially because Kaede blames her for Mamoru’s death, partially because of how judgemental Cynthia is of everything her daughter likes and does. She works as an anchor for the local news. Despite the fact that she has been shown doing nothing but speak poorly of her ex-husband, the moment she finds out James is going to remarry, suddenly she wants to take him back. Both Kaede and her father quickly realize what’s going on.

Junji Murata. Kaede’s younger brother. Cory and Shawn think he’s a smaller, genderswapped but equally creepy version of Kaede. On the other hand Cat, Isra and Arthur don’t seem to find him creepy at all, although that might be because, if they’re not scared by the big sister, they won’t be of the little brother.Kaede actually likes to joke around about the fact that people find his brother creepy, even inventing crazy stories to scare people, with Junji going along with it most of the time. After Lily becomes his stepsister, Junji becomes pretty close to her, even teasing Kaede by calling Lily ‘his favorite sister’. In the later seasons he has a crush on Leo’s sister Gia.

Mamoru Murata. Kaede’s older brother, she was really close to him when she was younger. His death is the reason why she has an estranged relationship with both of her parents at the beginning. He loved to skate, which it’s why his sister keeps his skateboard despite the fact that she doesn’t know how to use it, although Isra teaches her later.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (VI) - ANDRÉ’S FAMILY

Abdoulaye Diop. André’s father, he’s a Senegalese immigrant and musician who owns the store where the main cast buys music sheets and instruments when they need them. He also works as a private music tutor. His store turns out to be in the same street where Alan opens his own store in later seasons, with the two of them becoming close friends as a result. He was also friends with Robbie’s father Dennis before he died, so he encourages his son André to befriend Robbie when he finds out they’re in the same homeroom class.

Joanne Diop (née Harris). André’s mother, who works as a hairdresser.

Carol Harris. André’s maternal grandmother who lives with her daughter and son-in-law because she suffers from dementia.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (VII) - ISRA’S FAMILY

Edward Beckett. Isra’s adoptive father, who adopted him when the biy was nine years old and he was already in his sixties. He worked as a teacher before retirement. After he retired, around the time his son was twelve, he decided to leave Montreal to return to his native city, Philadelphia. It is also revealed that Feeny and him were friends in college, with the fact that Feeny was the vice principal at the time being the main reason why Edward decided to send Isra to John Adams High.

Marie Beckett (née Szabó). Isra’s adoptive mother, like her husband she was already on her sixties when she adopted Isra. Unlike her husband, she was born in Quebec, and her family actually comes from Hungary. Before retirament, she worked as a NICU nurse. (Edward and Marie are @sometimesgrows OCs, used with their permission)

Barbara Beckett. Isra’s adoptive aunt, who’s trans and owns a local gay bar which during the weekends drag queens perform. She’s Edward’s younger sister, and unlike her brother she stayed in Philadelphia.

Ghulam Chokshi. Isra’s biological father, whose family came from Pakistan. The last time Isra saw him was when he abandoned him when he was only five years old.

Nazneen Chokshi (née Bakhshi). Isra’s biological mother. Her family comes from Iran. Because she died when he was only four years old, Isra doesn’t remember a lot about her, except that she was very beautiful. (Ghulam and Nazneen are also @sometimesgrows OCs, but the names are mine)

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (VIII) - CAT’S FAMILY

Lydia ‘Nonna’ Castro. Cat’s maternal grandmother. A Cuban immigrant who actually won several ballroom dance competitions when she was young, even opening her own dance academy at one point. Of all of Cat’s relatives, she’s the one with whom Cat has the most stable and functional relationship, being very close to him. Lydia even taught her granddaughter to sing. She eventually becomes her granddaughter’s legal guardian in later seasons.

Elio Calvino. Cat’s older brother. The more Cat tells her friends about his crazy shenanigans, the more concerned they are about Cat’s well-being. In later seasons he’s sent to a psychiatric hospital in Idaho, forcing his parents to move to another estate with him and leaving Cat in Philadelphia.

Raphael Calvino. Cat and Elio’s father. He works as a garbage collector. In later seasons his wife and him have to move to Idaho to live closely to the psychiatric hospital where his oldest son has been admitted.

Rebecca Calvino (née Castro). Cat and Elio’s mother. She tried back in the day to keep her mother’s dance academy open, but the academy was closed down, with Lydia herself pointing it out as the moment when the relationship between mother and daughter took a sour turn. She now works teaching ballroom dance to senior citizens.

Jacinto Castro. Cat and Elio’s uncle, he’s Lydia’s youngest child and the only male among his siblings. Even in a family like Cat’s, he’s kind of the black sheep, being a failed conman who has been, ironically enough, scammed several times already. Because of this he doesn’t live in Philadelphia, with his family being unaware of most of his whereabouts except when he makes sporadic returns, to then leave unexpectedly soon after.

Walter and Perla Ortega. Cat’s uncle and aunt respectively. Perla is Rebecca’s older sister. Cat isn’t very fond of them, as the fact that she rather live hiding at the school than with them demostrates; and judging by her reaction when she finds out that Rebecca left Cat with her, Lydia isn’t very much either.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (IX) - ROBBIE’S FAMILY

Imelda Vergara. Robbie’s paternal grandmother. She immigrated from the Philippines at a young age and earned a living as a back-up vocalist. She’s now Robbie’s legal guardian, and she has taught her grandson to sing since he was a toddler, as well as encouraged him to learn how to play guitar.

Dennis Vergara. Robbie’s deceased father. He was a jazz musician and singer, but despite his talent he never became a recording artist, instead performing at bars and restaurants as well as working as a private music tutor like André’s father Abdoulaye, who was friends with him. Robbie’s fond memories of his father are part of the reason why he likes to sing and play music himself.

Erina Jang (née Watanabe, formerly Vergara). Robbie’s mother, with whom his relationship has become increasingly estranged since his father’s death and his grandmother became her legal guardian, mostly because of her own lack of action regarding how Robbie was treated by his sister and stepbrother.

Brenda Vergara. Robbie’s twin sister, she used to bully him when they were younger, especially after their father died and their mother remarried, which it is one of the main reasons why their grandmother became Robbie's legal guardian and sent him to John Adams High.

Steven Jang. Robbie’s stepfather. He works at the same bank as Lily’s father and is a Sherman Edwards High alumni, which it’s why he sent both his son and his stepdaughter there. Imelda doesn’t hold him in high regard, wondering what her former daughter-in-law saw on him.

Logan Jang. Robbie’s stepbrother. Like Brenda, he attends Sherman Edwards High instead of John Adams High, and the bullying he subjected Robbie to at home was one of the main reasons Imelda stepped up to become Robbie’s legal guardian so he could live with her. He’s part of the football team, like his father when he was his age, and he’s shown usually hanging out with Channing Pettyfer outside school.

Sylvia Watanabe. Robbie’s maternal grandmother, although she also cares for Robbie, she tends to act incredibly passively aggressive towards everybody by default, reason why Cat and her usually don’t see eye to eye. Like Imelda, she’s also not Steven’s biggest fan.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (X) - MÓNICA’S FAMILY

Frank Jones. Mónica’s father, who works as a dentist. Although he fancies himself as a good father, he tends to favor his sons while being unsupportive of his daughters. He’s also not happy when he finds out that his youngest daughter is dating a boy whose family lives in a trailer park.

Maribel Rosales. Mónica’s mother, who works at William Kacavas’ bakery/coffee shop/library. Despite the fact that she divorced her husband before the events of the show, she still calls him out from time to time, especially in matters that involve their children. She’s much more supportive of her daughter’s dreams of becoming a singer, but she also tries to help her get a more realistic and nuanced understament of what being a professional singer implies.

Michael Jones. Mónica’s oldest brother and Frank’s first born son. He works as a cop. His father tends to show favoritism towards him the most, although his younger siblings are not very fond of him.

Christopher Jones. Mónica’s another older brother, he’s in college thanks to a sports scholarship, although he’s becoming more and more disenchanted with the world of college football, something that he’s afraid to admit to his father. Like his father and his older brother, he initially expresses open dislike for Ethan when he finds out Mónica is dating him, although his lasts the shortest.

Tricia Jones. Mónica’s much more confident but less vocally gifted older sister. Despite her cocky attitude, she cares about her little sister and thinks that she has what it takes to become a star. Emilia even tells Tricia that she’s jealous of what Mónica has with her, because, although they bicker occasionally, it seems like they still care for each other, something that she feels Cassie and her don’t have.

Rosendo Rosales. Mónica’s maternal grandfather, who’s very close to his youngest granddaughter. The biggest focus he gets is in one episode where he expresses his concerns that all of his older grandchildren have grew up unfamiliar to their heritage, and how he’s afriad it’s gonna be the case even with Mónica.

Rosaura Rosales. Mónica’s maternal grandmother, who died before the events of the show. For how her husband talks about her, it is made clear that she had a loving relationship with his husband.

Sergio Rosales. Mónica’s maternal uncle, he’s openly gay.

Denzel Hornsby. Sergio’s partner and later husband. He works as a bartender at Barbara Beckett’s bar.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (XI) - ETHAN’S FAMILY

Keith Evans. Ethan’s father, him getting a job as a construction worker for Karl Jacobs’ company is the reason why his family moved from Missouri to Philadelphia. Unfortunately he gets fired as soon as the company needs to get rid of some employees, and his family has to move to the Pink Flamingos Trailer Park. Later on he gets a job at Alan’s business.

Miranda Evans (née LeBlanc). Ethan’s mother, she’s of Cajun descent. After her family has to move to the Pink Flamingos Trailer Park, Miranda manages to get a job waiting tables at the restaurant Corazzini’s so the family can have at least one source of income while her husband is unemployed.

Garth and Dolly Evans. Ethan’s younger siblings, they’re still in elementary school.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (XII) - SANTI’S FAMILY

Leopoldo López. Santi’s father, who works as a gardener. He’s a third generation Costa Rican immigrant who works as a cook in a restaurant named El Coyote. He’s also Deaf.

Sofía Mejía. Santi’s mother. She works as the Jacobs’ housekeeper. Like her husband, she’s Deaf, reason why her employers have always assumed she never noticed or can’t tell anyone the multiple crappy things they’ve done. As it turns out when Sofía becomes a powerful ally for Tovah to uncover all of the family’s dirty laundry, they were very, very wrong. There’s also one episode in which Noah, the Jacobs’ youngest son who attends the same high school as the main cast, attempts to humiliate Santi by telling everyone that Santi’s mother works for his family, right after finding out, but it backfires after Santi points out that it’s pretty telling that none of Noah’s family knew anything about the woman who has been employed by them for years, including the fact that she has a son that attends the same high than theirs.

Ramón ‘Ra’ López Mejía. Santi’s older brother, he’s a professional ballroom dancer who had won several regional tournaments already, even being nicknamed Sun God. Because of both his career and a personality that makes Eric look tame by comparison, Santi doesn’t like to talk about him, but Brandon is pretty fond of him. Of all the family, he’s the most welcoming and supporting of Santiago’s sexuality, although he still makes some snarky remarks about being goddamn time he came out and that he was way too obvious. There’d also be a B-plot in one episode about Eric becoming his dance partner’s last minute replacement for a tournament.

Concha Mejía. Santi’s maternal grandmother. Of all the family, she takes the news about his grandson’s sexuality the worst, even telling him that he doesn’t want to see him anymore, which it’s very painful for Santi because he was very close with her.

MAIN CAST’S RELATIVES (XIII) - BRANDON’S FAMILY

Teófilo ‘Teo’ Pitrè. Brandon’s father, who has achondroplasia and whose family comes from Brazil. Making fun of him is one of the few ways that can make Brandon angry enough to want to physically hurt someone. He works at the aquarium, which still is one of Brandon’s favorite places.

Adriana Pitrè (née Vieira). Brandon’s mother. Like her husband, she’s a second generation Brazilian immigrant. She works as a swimming instructor.

MAIN CAST'S RELATIVES (XIV) - JULIE ANNE'S FAMILY

David Vaughan. Julie Anne’s father. After getting a divorce and moving back to Philadelphia with his daughter, of whom he got full custody, he re-opens the comic book shop he used to own before he moved, which becomes one of the main spots where the main gang hangs out after school.

Amy Vaughan. Julie Anne’s mother. The fact that she didn’t recognize her daughter’s trans identity is one of the big reasons why not only Julie Anne’s father divorced her and fought for full custody, but also why they moved back to Philadelphia.

THE PINK FLAMINGOS TRAILER PARK RESIDENTS

The trailer park where Shawn’s family lives. A lot of them are families who lost their home, jobs or both because of Karl Jacobs’ company.

Virna Cordini. Chet’s wife, and until her husband’s death, Shawn believed she was his mother. Chet met her at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. She’s deeply unhappy in her marriage with Chet, oftenly leaving for increasingly longer periods of time.

Eddie Cordini. Virna’s son from a previous marriage, he’s mean to Shawn and likes to act tough and intimidating, by the moment he faces Brizzi or Little Nicky, he quickly cowers. He downright despises Chet.

Brizzi. A guy in the trailer park who has been willingly looking after Shawn after Jack left, and to whom Shawn looks up like an older brother, something that Brizzi doesn’t feel completely comfortable with, because of how he earns a living, and he wishes for Shawn to someday leave the trailer park for good and have a better life elsewhere. 

Little Nicky. Brizzi’s younger brother, although he looks bigger and older than him, who works in the “family business” too. He kinda resents Shawn for what he feels is special treatment by his brother's part, referring to him regularly as “the prince” in a mocking tone, but at the end of the day he cares about him too.

Stacey Simonson. A girl in the trailer park who’s good friends with Brizzi, and like him she looks after Shawn whenever she can, becoming the closest thing Shawn had for a family in a while, ‘til the point that Cory thought she was Shawn’s older sister. Another thing she has in common with Brizzi is that a lot of humor comes from her trying to keep Shawn and Cory unaware of her job.

Shannon. Stacey’s friend and, as she says herself, “Yeah, let’s call it Stacey’s co-worker. Why not”.

Dekalb "KID'S" Poem

Part 2 of 4

In Dekalb's vibrant 90's scene,

A crew of 20, wild and carefree

303 Campusview, our hangout spot,

Diversions, where shows were humid and hot.

Kegs and Eggs, a morning delight,

NIU's Homecoming game, a disappointing sight.

9pm Pizzas from Pag's, a food coma fate,

Beer Nuggets, the exclusive snack, can't wait.

Cornfest and Parents' Weekend, college pride,

Memories etched, forever inside.

Storming the Tower, a daredevil's thrill,

Kishwaukee River's waters, beware, where the waters still..

The Twombly house burned down one fiery night.

Greeks they clashed, restaurants ablaze, in a bitter fight.

BBQ Jerry's flavors,

Crazy Lisa's grin, bible in hand,

Scott Pasture's laughter, keystone in a can..

Around the Clock Coffee, Junction's fries delight.

Shawn Beck, the teaser, Frat boys they fight.

Miles Gillott, a friend, forever in our hearts,

A bond so strong, though some have fallen apart.

Otto's and Stanley's, beer pong, and cheer,

Pounding drinks, making memories, year after year,

We walked everywhere, with little to no dough,

Drinking, smoking, chiefing, our spirits aglow.

Though some are lost, and others we hold tight,

Our Dekalb crew, forever shining bright.

In the 90's haze, our youth, our prime,

A time capsule, of memories, sublime.

Shoot Your Shot |Part 10| (Hockey/Fratboy!Shawn Au)

Warnings: swearing 

Word Count: 3k

a/n: You can thank Shawn for going to the Maple Leaf’s game the other day, without those pictures of him in a jersey, this wouldn’t have happened!

Shawn wasn’t too fond of dropping the situation after what had occurred earlier in the day, but a hockey game later that night was going to consume the both of you for the rest of the night. He had put up a fight, saying he’d rather stay with you and talk everything through than go to the game. But, after forcing him to go, he had remembered that he- as the captain of the team, was obligated to attend and if he didn’t, he’d be kicked off the team. So, he sucked it up, put on a happy face and walked into the locker room after kissing you goodbye. You warned him beforehand not to start anything with Brian now, everyone needed to get through this game before anything happened, and if he were to hurt Brian he’d be benched by coach.

*****

“I’m not going to the game,” Shawn sighs, spinning around in your desk chair as you watched him from perched on top of your bed, criss crossed legs.

“Yes you are Shawn, you’re the captain you have to go or coach will kick you off.” You reply, moving to may down on your side.

“Fuck you’re right,” He groans, throwing his head back and stopping his spinning before looking at you. “Who do you think did it?”

You roll your eyes at the question, assuming that he would be able to guess who it was, “I thought it was obvious.”

Shawn nods, immediately knowing who you’re talking about, “I know,” He says softly, getting up before walking over to lay next to you on the bed. “I just didn’t want to believe it, I never thought that Brian would’ve done it, ya know?”

“Yeah,” You whisper, reaching out to toy with his hair as the two of you lay there. “Just promise me one thing tonight?”

You cup his cheek, and he turns his head to kiss the inside of your palm, “Of course, what is it?”

You smile at his action before saying, “Don’t provoke anything with Brian, I don’t want to be on the front cover of the school newspaper two weeks in a row.”

He chuckles a bit before nodding, “I promise I won't be the one to provoke, but if he tries anything with me, I’m gonna kill him.”

You lean forwards to capture his lips before speaking, “You wouldn’t be you if you didn’t.”

********

News obviously flies quickly, seeing as the moment you entered the stadium, all eyes were on you. Luckily, since he had already known you due to your prior involvement with the members of the team, coach waved you and Bella down, offering the two of you seats next to him in the box as the game went on. You could tell that he had at least heard of the video with the way he was acting, but it didn’t come up once. Maybe it was because it was the middle of the game and he was wanting to pay attention, or maybe because he didn’t want to piss off his star player by confronting his girl. Either way, you were more than happy to avoid the topic altogether.

You were hoping to go undercover at the game, unnoticed almost, but that plan failed when Shawn insisted you wore your jersey with his name on the back so ‘everyone knew you were here reppin’ him’, and of course you complied. However, rather than grab people's attention for the right reason, the six words on the back of your shirt had people whispering all around you, but not one of them willing to look you in the eyes.

There was only ten minutes left in the game and it was four to two, you guys were winning. Shawn had made three of the shots, doing a victory lap every single time before coming over to high five you as he made his way back into the center of the rink. Currently, the opposing team had the puck and Geoff was tailing the player who had it. Within a seconds time, the puck was back into Geoff's possession, and with it he made a beeline for Shawn who was across the rink, only 15 feet from the goal. An opposing team member was coming towards Geoff at full speed, and was prepared to slam him into the side of the rink. But, just in the nick of time, Geoff noticed him and pulled his stick back before sending the puck flying in Shawn’s direction. Out of the corner of your eye, you see Geoff hit the ground and at the same time Shawn prepares himself to take the shot. Just before he can hit it, another blue jersey rams into him, sending Shawn skidding across the ice and into the side of the rink.

The entire stadium falls silent, watching as the two boys fall over and hit the wall. A blue jersey hitting a blue jersey meant that someone from your team had just hit Shawn, and whether it was on purpose or not was unknown at the moment. Shawn is too far for you to yell out to, but all you can hope is that he doesn’t flip his shit on whoever just hit him. Shawn’s the first one up, his chest visibly heaving from across the ice. He’s clenching his fists, huffing violently as he stares down at the other guy. Everyone’s waiting for Shawn to do something, even the game has paused, none of the other players moving a muscle. Shawn had a bit of a track record with these types of things, usually one to lash out violently, but you knew first hand after seeing him get frustrated with you on multiple occasions, that he could control himself if he were to try hard enough. Suddenly, Shawn’s skating across the ice directly towards you guys. He stops just short of you, talking to the coach lowly, his voice clearly quivering as he heaves in anger. His cheeks are a deep shade of dark red as he talks, his speech more a raspy whisper. All of a sudden, the coach is nodding looking behind Shawn before yelling, “Brian, off the ice now!”

Bella and you both tense up, exchanging looks of recognition before watching anxiously as Brian steps into the box with you guys. The second you heard his name leave the coaches lips, you knew that this wasn’t an accident, you knew that Brian had either previously planned to pull a stunt like this or decided last minute to do it. Even if he were to try and play it off as him not being able to stop in time, no one would believe him. Brian- an asshole or not, was one of the best skaters on the team. Granted, he wasn’t the best hockey player, but he could lap most of the guys without an issue. The game resumes immediately after, but you’re too focused on the scene in front of you to pay any attention to it.

The coach grabs Brian by his helmet, pulling his head close speak to him, “I don’t know why the hell you just pulled that, but keep pulling that shit and you’re off, for good. Do you hear me!”

“Yes coach,” Brian says quietly. The coach hold him still for a moment longer, glaring him down before pushing him back by his helmet and pointing to an empty spot all the way down the bench. Brian avoids eye contact as he walks down to the end, sitting down and pulling his helmet off to chuck it to the side, frustration clear on his face. A week ago, you would’ve felt bad for the kid, maybe even sympathetic, but now there was not even a tiny part of you that felt for him. You roll your eyes, diverting your attention back to the game as Bella rubs her hand up and down your back in a comforting way. Once again, Shawn has the puck and is coming back towards the goal when across the rink, a different player from the team gets decked, dropping immediately. You watched along with others for him to get back up, but he was down for good. After only having just started the game back up, it was pausing again. A couple other guys help him up and off the ice, and he comes to sit near you as the paramedics check out his injury.

It’s a couple minutes later, 4 minutes left in the game when you hear the coach cuss from next to you. His leg had broken, leaving him out for good. “If one more person gets hurt I’m gonna have to send Brian back in, and Mendes will give me hell if I do,” The coach pauses, running a hand down his face before slamming his hand down on the wall separating the rink from the box you guys were in. “Damn it!”

You and Bella watch in silence, 3 minutes 33 seconds and counting and all seems good as of now. Before you know it, the other team scores leaving you at 3-4. You were still leading by one goal, but one goal was nothing and if the other team were to make a goal in the next 3 and a half minutes, it would not be good.

“You think we have this in the bag?” Bella asks nervously.

You looked away for just a couple seconds to answer Bella’s question, her lip pulled between her teeth as she awaited your reply. Out of nowhere, her expression changes and she’s gasping, shooting out of her seat to get a better look across the ice. You follow her, standing up and looking around only to find Geoff splayed across the ice, nursing his wrist as he stands up. He says he’s fine, but the paramedics are still obligated to check him out before he can continue playing.

Bella leaves your side to walk over to Geoff, consoling him as his wrist is checked out. You stand there, starstruck at the position you’re in. In the past week, you couldn’t seem to get a break for even a minute. Shawn’s eyes meet yours in a knowing glance as he watches the coach from afar. “Brian, go.” The coach sighs, hanging his head in defeat. Brian’s head pops up, his eyes widening. You catch his eyes for a mere second and just like that he’s looking away and reaching out for his helmet.

He skids back into position on the ice, your eyes flashing over to notice Shawn’s rigid posture as he watches him enter the rink. You were shocked to say the least, Shawn was doing an impeccable job at keeping his cool- keeping his promise, but you knew he was nearing his snapping point. All you could do is cross your fingers that he wouldn’t act out on instinct and would keep it clean for the rest of the match. Now with 2 minutes left, the puck is served, landing in the opposing team's possession. Of course, they go right for the goal only to be intercepted by someone, the puck returning to your team. Soon, it is passed over to Brian, only to be caught mid pass by the other team. Shawn’s watching impatiently from the other side of the rink as Brian chases after the guy, finally catching him and stealing the puck. He zooms across the ice, only 10 seconds remaining before passing it to Shawn. Shawn gladly takes it, lining up his swing before shooting the puck straight into the net. Only three seconds after, the buzzer goes off signalling the end of the game.

You stand up smiling, fully expecting Shawn to come right over to you to celebrate, but you are shocked along with the rest of the crowd at his next action. Without hesitation, he skates over to Brian, grabbing his helmet and tugging it off. Brian stands there confused, not quite sure what's happening, that is until Shawn chucks the metal across the ice, all the other players at a stand still. He reels his arm back before landing a punch right into Brian’s nose.

A sickening crack is heard from across the rink, and you wince as he falls to the ground holding his nose. You swear you hear the coach chuckle as he does, and immediately after, Shawn’s gaze is on you and a smile graces his face. You can’t help but smile in reply, usually you’d be furious for Shawn to punch anyone, let alone a teammate in such a public setting but you just couldn’t find it in yourself to be angry at your smiley puppy of a boyfriend as he rounded the rink towards you. A couple members of the team went to help Brian out, but the rest were celebrating on the ice as the crowd began to disperse. Shawn steps into the box, ignoring coaches demand for his attention, opting to plant a big kiss on your lips. You laugh into the kiss, running your hands up and through his sweaty curls. When he finally pulls away to talk to coach, he does so only after placing his helmet on your head and wrapping his arm around your shoulders to pull you into him and turn the both of you around.

Coach looks far too serious, and far too angry, yet the words to escape are quite the opposite. “Good job boy, I’m not gonna punish you because the little bastard deserved it,” The both of you laugh, coach cracking a small smile as you do. His face flips back to serious as his eyes narrow in on Shawn, saying, “But never pull that shit again Mendes, you know how it goes. You’re lucky i’m only giving you a warning.”

“Yes coach, gotcha.” Shawn says solemnly, reaching out to shake the coaches hand firmly as almost a seal in their agreement.

The both of you turn, joining Geoff and Bella down on the other side of the box. Shes holding a bag of ice to his wrist, her legs thrown over his as the cuddle into one another. “Sprained?” Shawn asks, looking at his bruised wrist and wincing.

“Yup,” Geoff smiles before patting Bella’s leg as a signal for her to move. She does so, allowing Geoff to stand up, “Good thing it was my left wrist, so I can still do this.” His hand joins Shawn’s as the two of them do their patented ‘bro hug.’ “I’m proud of you man, you landed that punch like a bitch.”

Shawn shrugs, playing it cool, “He deserved it, I feel a lot better now too.”

The boys laugh, bidding one another goodbye. As they do so, you pull Bella in for a hug. “Is there any chance you can sleep over Shawn’s tonight?”

You nod with a smile, “Of course, I think that was the plan anyways,” You glance over to see Shawn gulping down the rest of his gatorade. “I’m just going to have to swing past ours to pick up some things and then I’ll be gone.”

She nods, hugging you once more, “Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“Yup,” You sigh. Tomorrow the two of you had a 7am class to attend, “Bright and early.”

It was about an hour after you had arrived at Shawns, the both of you were now showered and cuddled into his bed watching a cooking show on Netflix. You had been binge watching it for about a week and half now, and were just able to convince him to watch it with you.

“She’s gonna burn the cake,” Shawn mutters, running his fingers through your wet hair. “I already know she’s gonna burn the damn cake.”

He was laying with his back against the back of the bed, you with your head on his lap laying on your side. He had been switching back and forth from running his fingers up and down your arm and playing with your hair. “Yeah, she’s definitely gonna burn the cake.”

The picture of a burnt cake pops onto the screen and Shawn sits up, “I knew it! Didn’t I call it!”

You chuckle, sitting up after he has hit your head in the process of moving, “Yes, you did call it pretty boy.”

He smiles smugly, pulling you back over to him, your head now resting on his collarbone as the show continues. The two of you sit like this for a little while longer, before he breaks the silence.

“Did you know that i’m like crazy into you?” Shawn says quietly, not moving a muscle as he does so.

You look up to see his eyes still plastered to the television as you reply, “Well i’m like crazy into you too.”

He looks down now, a smile on his face as he hums in agreement, “I don’t even know how to explain it, like,” He pauses, pondering over his words. “Whenever I see you, I have the constant need to feel you.” Your eyes widen at his statement, and he is quick to catch himself, “Not like that! Like, I just want to hold your hand or play with your hair or anything really.”

You sit there a moment, it’s now your turn to think of what to say. “Well I guess I’ll admit something too then,” His full attention is now on you, the burnt cake and pretty cupcakes long forgotten. “I really, really enjoy your company,” You say dreamily, watching his face light up at your words. “I’m not even in this just because of the physical aspects or the bragging rights. I could spend the rest of my life talking to you, and never get bored or tired of you. It’s insane.”

He kisses your forehead, eyes moving back to look at the TV, “It is insane.” You move your legs so their laying across his lap, and his other hand comes to run up and down your thigh. It’s not in a sexual way, more in a comforting way. As he does this, his other hand plays with your hair as he hums a pretty melody. Big bad captain of the hockey team, Shawn Mendes was humming you to sleep, and just the thought of it was melting your heart a bit more. Slowly, but surely you fell asleep in the arms of your giant, personal teddy bear to the sound of his raspy voice and the clatter of pans as the cooking show continued, only one viewer now present.

Summary: You’re a junior in college who spends almost all of your time stuck in either your dorm room or the library until you’re forced to go to a frat party where you meet Shawn, who immediately changes your whole college experience. 

Author’s Note: I’m backkkkkk. I am so so excited about this one. This was based off a request I got in like May or something like that basically so insanely long ago and I never got to it because I knew it was going to be long. I kinda went off track with the request too a little bit, but I hope you love it as much as I do. It’s my baby so please be kind (also it’s my birthday so please don’t hurt my feelings too much lol). As always, I love hearing any type of feedback and I love you all x

The door of your dorm room slammed open as your roommate rushed inside, frantically throwing her bag onto her bed and rummaging through her closet. You peered over the top of your laptop where you were busy editing an essay you had just finished for a class, watching her distressed state with curious eyes. “What’s going on?”

“What do you mean?” Natalie asked almost breathlessly, settling on a silk, light pink top with a plunging v-neck and a short black skirt.

“Why are you rushing so much? Where are you going?”

You would’ve thought you had grown three heads by the way she looked at you and the way she rolled her eyes when she noticed you were being dead serious made you slightly cave in on yourself in disappointment. “How do you not know what’s going on tonight? Sigma Alpha Epsilon is throwing another one of their huge parties, it’s all everyone has been talking about for the past two weeks.”

“I don’t know, must’ve just gone over my head,” you mumbled, feeling a little self-conscious about your lack of knowledge on what was going on in the social life of your campus. Ninety-nine percent of the time your head was stuck in a book or hunched over your laptop doing homework in the library so it really shouldn’t have been a surprise that this party was nowhere on your radar.

“Well now you know, so you’re going with me. Chop chop you’ve got to get dressed.”

“HA, you think I’m going to a party?”

She raised an eyebrow at you, silently challenging you to disagree with her, “Um, yes you are. Connor invited me which means I’m inviting you because he invites like 20 girls and I don’t want to be stuck alone all night.”

“You’re not going to be alone all night,” you sighed, closing your laptop before swinging your legs off the side of the bed, “You’re popular enough on campus that you’ll be able to find someone to hang out there with if I’m not there.”

“I know, but it’d be more fun if you were there with me. Pleaseeeeeee.” Natalie pulled out her best puppy dog eyes on you, her bottom lip jutting out to make her face look more innocent, “I’ll even do your makeup and hair for you….and you can borrow some of my clothes!”

“What, are my clothes not good enough or something?”

“They are! They’re just a little too, what’s the word I’m looking for, conservative for a party. You need something a little bit scandalous, you know? Gotta give the boys a little something something.” She wiggled her eyebrows at you before letting out a huff of annoyance and getting up to grab your hand to pull you off of the bed, “Come on, no excuses. Let’s get you ready for tonight.”

if shawn mendes was a frat boy this is how he would look like lol

[alarrytale]

Excuse my ignorance (I'm straight lol) but why does Harry get queerbaiting accusations and not Shawn? Ok Shawn does get some but not on a really large viral scale like Harry does.

Hi, anon!

It's because of two things. One is because Harry is straight passing and Shawn is not. Celebrities who're straight passing usually get more flack from fellow queers because it's harder for them to identify one of their own. Second is because Harry is presenting his image in extremes. When he's on stage or on a red carpet he presents super gay. So the gay presenting seems performative and tied to his public persona. When he's off stage or has time off he dresses like a frat boy and walks around with his current super model squeeze. People are gaslighted to believe the latter image is the real him. So they accuse him of queerbaiting or appropriating queer aesthetic.

Shawn is gay presenting both on and off stage and it's easier to tell that it's a part of the real him. His fans aren’t gaslighted and can clock him as gay even if he was parading a gf around.

Being very straight passing can be hard if you're gay and closeted, but want to signal that you're gay. Being gay presenting can be very hard if you don’t want people to suspect you're gay, and for people to buy your bearding relationship. Basically Harry needs to make an effort to show he's gay and Shawn needs to make an effort to hide the gay.
