Research Purposes ~ Part 3

*Gif: Not mine; credit to @thompsonconnors

Pairing: Jay Halstead x Reader/ Adam Ruzek x Reader

Requested: Yes

Prompt: What happened after Adam catches you and Jay? Part 1 (18+) here /// Part 2 here

Warnings: Swearing

A/N: I used some dialogue from S6E10, but the rest of the episode doesn’t pertain

A/N 2: Wouldn’t you all be pissed if I ended up putting the reader with Ruzek 😂

You and Jay were on his couch silently eating pizza and watching Hulu. Not having said very many words to each other in the last two hours.

“I didn’t want him to find out that way.” You eventually broke the silence. Jay reached for the remote pausing the show to turn and face you as you sat up away from where you were cuddled into his side. “I mean I wasn’t ecstatic about him sleeping with Hailey, but if he would’ve just told me and been upfront about it I think I could’ve handled it better.” You admitted.

“So you wouldn’t have slept with me in other words?” He joked making you chuckle.

“Oh I still would’ve done that.” You smiled.

“I think he just didn’t want to hurt you. You know Adam. That would have never been his intention.” Jay replied.

“Well no I don’t think he did it on purpose, but I just turned around and did the same thing to him. What if he thinks it was out of spite?” You sighed.

“You don’t have any obligations to each other any more, [Y/N].” Jay shook his head.

“I know it’s hard for you to understand, and it’s hard for me to explain to be honest. You have to remember we were engaged. It wasn’t some fling. Our relationship was serious. I wanted to be with him. I wanted to have a family with him, and when it ended it hurt like hell. I know I don’t have any obligation to him, but in order to see him everyday. Work with him everyday. There has to be a different kind of respect, a different kind of… regard for each other than we have with everyone else or it won’t work.” You tried to explain.

“Then why didn’t you just tell him about us?” Jay finally asked.

“Because I don’t even know what’s going on here.” You laughed, “I mean are we just fucking? Cause if that’s the case we should be doing a lot more of it.” You pointed out, reminding him how more and more nights have ended in just a cuddle session in his bed.

“You know I’m not good with emotions and saying how I feel, [Y/N].” He sighed, “I honestly didn’t expect for this to happen. One night of fun turned into wanting you here every night. Ya know? Regardless of whether it ended in us sleeping together or you just... in my arms.” He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

“Jay, if they go up in flames and Hailey comes running to you where does that leave me?” You eventually asked the question that had been pegging you for the last few weeks.

“You know that’s not fair to ask me when I could ask you the same thing.” He replied.

“You don’t think I know that?” You questioned, head falling into your hands, “I don’t know, Jay. Okay? I-I don’t know!”

“What are you saying?” He pushed.

“I’m saying maybe it shouldn’t be this hard.” You shook your head, emotions running through you, tense silence falling between you two again. “I’m really tired.” You admitted, leaning your head against the back of the couch.

“Alright come on let’s go to bed.” He stood up turning the tv off and moving to clean your plates up.

“Do you want me to sleep on the couch?” You asked, biting at your lip and he turned to give you an incredulous look.

“Why would you think I would want that? You know I sleep better with you beside me.” He replied making you smile, body feeling just a little bit lighter.

“Yeah me too.” You agreed, helping him clean a little before going through your bedtime routines comfortably. Sliding naturally into his body once you laid down.

“Goodnight, baby.” Jay whispered into your hair laying a gentle kiss on your forehead.

“Goodnight.” You said, returning a light kiss onto his chest, nuzzling further into his arms.

“Come on [Y/N] you gotta get up.” Jay tried to wake you with soft kisses across your neck and shoulder. Groaning you didn’t move, “I promise I let you sleep as long as possible.”

“Can we just get my car registered for a spot already?” You whined.

“You’re the one that said that was and I quote “testing our luck and a waste of money.”” He teased.

“I will give my life savings for ten more minutes of sleep.” You replied, sinking further back into Jay’s warm chest.

“No, no, no!” He lectured rolling away from you.

“Ugh, fine.” You grumbled pulling yourself out of his bed turning to see him lying in only his boxers, “Are you trying to provoke me?” You gestured to his body causing him to chuckle.

“If I wanted to provoke you I could do a hell of a lot better than this.” He smirked, “Plus I already got my own shower this morning so no go.” He shooed you away getting up to riffle through his dresser. Rolling your eyes you trudged to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

The ride to the district was filled with a comfortable silence, the tension from the night before gone. He put his truck in park after pulling up behind your car.

“Just so you know I’m gonna stay at my place tonight.” You informed him, reaching for the door handle.

“What? Why?” He practically whined, but a nervous tone seeped in as well.

“Because I see you all day everyday and I would like to binge a carton of ice cream without your judging eyes on me the entire time.” You joked.

“I do not judge you.” He defended.

“Uh huh of course not babe. See you in a few.” You leaned over to give him a quick kiss before climbing out of the truck.

When you got to the district Trudy whistled to you summoning you over. You stood in front of it, hands clasped together on her desk. “Goodmorning.” You stated cautiously.

“Wanna tell me why rebel without a cause looks like someone pissed in his coffee this morning?” She raised an eyebrow at you.

“No, I do not.” You replied.

“Well then just a friendly warning to step cautiously today.” She looked back down at her desk nodding her head towards the steps.

“Yeah..thanks Sarge.” You sighed moving to buzz in. You could feel the edginess when you entered the bullpen, but you couldn’t tell who else had noticed it. “Goodmorning.” You mumbled passing everyone on the way to your desk. Luckily everyone was able to work normally despite the obvious agitation in Adam’s demeanor, but per Platt’s advice you stayed out of his way as much as possible.

“Alright so we do it the old-fashioned way. Farm it off. Every beat cop and CTA worker, get every gang and tact unit across the city. If someone knows this guy, that picture’s gonna be enough to spark it. Ruzek, you run it past Mark.” Hank ordered before moving back into his office. Everyone nodded moving towards Jay’s desk to make plans. Adam moved off on his own and out of the corner of your eye you watched Hailey follow behind him. Sighing you looked back to Kevin making mental notes of the plan he was laying out to Jay.

“Alright let’s roll.” Kevin shrugged on his jacket when you heard yelling in the distance. The three of you exchanged confused glances before you easily picked up Adam’s voice.

“It’s Adam and Hailey. They’re downstairs.” You informed the two men, detouring your route to hurrying down the steps, their voices only getting louder as you made your way towards them.

“I’m not gonna talk about policing with you again!” Adam’s distinct voice carried.

“I care about you, I care about you and I-“ Hailey fought back, stopping to turn when she noticed the three of you enter the room.

“We can hear you guys in the stairwell. What the hell are you doing?” Jay asked, looking between the two. Hailey looking guilty and Adam standing at defense, restlessness clear in his frame, from more than just the conversation you were guessing.

“Nothing. It’s fine. Sorry.” Hailey cleared her throat, shaking her head.

“You cannot be having this conversation here. It’s not the time or place.” Jay warned, glancing back up the steps.

“Oh but it’s a perfectly fine place for you to stick your tongue down [Y/N]’s throat?” Adam bit back and you watched Hailey’s eyes go wide flicking between all of you.

“What?” She asked and the look in her eyes at the information pinged a feeling of jealousy deep in your stomach.

“Oh yeah you didn’t know?” Adam took a step towards Jay, anger radiating off of him.

“Watch yourself. Who do you think you're talking to?” Jay straightened his body, jaw clenched.

“I’m not scared of you, Halstead. I’m not some rookie straight out of the academy anymore.” Adam pointed out.

“All of you, cool it.” Kevin whispered harshly stepping between the two men, ”unless you want Voight to find out whatever is going on here I suggest you all get back to what you were supposed to be doing.” He ordered. Adam threw you a cold glare before maneuvering around Kevin and heading up the stairs.

“We’re supposed to be out securing an ID.” Jay grumbled stalking out of the door, Hailey following behind slowly.

“To be a fly on the wall in that car.” Kevin winced looking back to you.

“Yeah.” You laughed dryly. Starting to walk towards the parking lot.

“Hey, it’s gonna be fine.” He tried to reassure you once he slipped into the driver's seat, starting the engine. Kevin knew more of what was going on then anybody else did. You and him had been partners in crime since your first day at the district and even before that in the academy. Your partnership was comfortable and he knew you better than most people. You had each other’s backs always, and even though he was best friends with Adam, who had without a doubt been chirping in his ear about his discovery the night prior, Kevin always remained neutral. So, you knew he would lay it straight for you. He found out about you and Jay the Monday after it had happened. You were pretty good at hiding stuff, but not with him. He could read you like a book.

“This is such a fucking mess.” You huffed watching out the window.

“Well I’m certainly not going to tell you you’re wrong there.” He agreed blatantly, “You should’ve been more careful.”

“You don’t think I know that, Kev? But it’s done now. He knows and I have to find a way to deal with it. I don’t even understand why he’s so mad. He’s doing the same thing with her, and I didn’t act like a jealous teenager when I found out. What he just did was unnecessary.” You sighed heavily knowing that there was more to the story. “I know he’s going through more than just this. I can tell this case is getting to him and he’s struggling and honestly it kills me that I can’t be there for him. It kills me every time I can’t help him through it. I miss him and what we had, but maybe it is for the best. But.. I don’t fucking know! How am I supposed to know?” You slammed a fist against the dashboard and Kevin didn’t even flinch. Adam was impulsive and had a short fuse, but what had happened a few minutes prior was not something Adam would do on a normal day.

“So, what are going to do about it?” Kevin asked looking over at you expectantly, but all that came was silence. You didn’t know. Did Adam still want to be with you? Was that why he was so angry or was it just a lingering reaction? If he was jealous, if this thing between you the two of you was still a possibility then what? Plus Hailey knew now. What if that pushed her in a direction you didn’t want her to go? Maybe it opened her eyes. Maybe she was confessing her feelings to Jay right now in his truck and that scared you. An uncomfortable selfish feeling radiated through your body at the thought. The unknown was starting to terrify you. The possibilities, the factors, all of it was too much and you weren’t sure how it was going to play out.

You had finished the case getting out of the district at a decent time that day. Which you were glad for. The room was starting to feel too small. You needed space to breathe and room to think. Which is exactly what you did. For hours until you came to a conclusion. You loved both of them, but in the end you knew who you wanted, who you needed.

You couldn’t keep dragging them around like this. Dragging yourself around like this. You were going to figure it out and you were going to face it head on. Walking up to his door your heart was racing. You had already made up your mind, but that didn’t mean you weren’t scared to actually face it. Taking a deep breath your knuckles lightly rapped the door. How were you supposed to tell someone you loved you didn’t want to be with them? Shifting on your feet you couldn’t help, but chew on your lip, anxiety only heightening when the door swung open.

“We need to talk.”

Hey! Can you make a Bucky fic where he has this huge crush on the reader and he’s convinced she’s totally out of his league and she ends up finding out somehow and she teases him about it and purposely gets him flustered before she admits she feels the same way. Thank you so much!

i love this idea so much i just had to write it as soon as i saw this rq

“You’re staring again, Barnes,” Sam said.

Bucky snapped his eyes from you and the oat milk you were pouring into your cereal. “Am not,” he grumbled.

Sam laughed mockingly. “Alright, keep on starin’ with those puppy dog eyes and see what happens.”

“I do not have–” He stopped when you turned back around and smiled at the two. 

“Mornin’, boys,” you said with a smirk went straight to his head and a tanktop that went straight to his–y’know.

Bucky cleared his throat before he responded, “Mornin’, doll,” while looking down at his coffee and toast. 

“Hey,” a voice sounded. Nat rounded the corner, shooting a smile at Bucky and Sam before addressing you. “Spar in ten?”

“It’s a date,” you said, starting to follow her.

Before you left the kitchen, Sam caught you and asked, “How about you save a dance for Barnes? He could use the practice. A good ass-kickin’ might do him well.”

Bucky went scarlet as you laughed brightly. “You gotcha.” And you sent Bucky a wink which only served to turn his blush darker.

He was silent as Sam chuckled as you rounded the corner. It wasn’t until you turned the corner that Bucky grumbled: “I’m gunna kill you.”

“Dude,” Sam scolded. “You gotta do something before Natasha sweeps her off her feet!”

“Nat’s not gonna–” Sam stopped him with a pointed look. Bucky just sighed. “She’s out of my league, man.”

“Can’t argue with that,” snorted Sam. 

Bucky punched him.

The thing was, you were out of his league. You were gorgeous, intelligent. You had a great sense of humor and were a perfect team player. You could run circles around most of them, even keep up with Steve and Bucky. You were kind and considerate, you’d been through so much and still come you smiling and encouraging. You were the most capable and genuine person he knew. And he loved your eyes so much. He loved everything about you. Every attribute you had to offer, he thought you were p–

He always did that. He could get lost in the thought of you so fast, it would give someone whiplash. There was so much to get lost in. Like your eyes, dear god–

Sorry, sorry. Real life.

But, real life was the problem. Because in real life, you’d never like him back. What was there to like?

 SO he left it alone. He left it all alone and was content just to be around you. Because having you in his life was better than any alternative. Bucky was borderline glad you didn’t know. 

Unfortunately, everyone else did. 

And no one was in the business to let him live it down. The little joke Sam pulled that morning in the kitchen was the least of it. There was constantly slander and tons of inuendos and–shipping. Bucky didn’t really know what that was, but half of the bunch seemed rather keen on it. That annoyed the hell out of Bucky. It was only a matter of time before the whole thing blew up in his face.

That day came and went. He trained with you later that evening, even losing a few rounds in a ring. You, him, Nat, and Steve even went for drinks that night. Bucky felt like he had to be blind not to see everything between you and Nat. Steve tried to make him feel better when he noticed Bucky’s dejected expression with a pat on the back and a “Chin up, pal.” It didn’t help.

You all ended up stumbling home tipsy and giggling. You were hanging on Bucky’s arm and he was a little too proud of that. But he certainly wasn’t going to shove you off anytime soon. The group pushed through into the common room, laughing at something Nat had said. Sam and Wanda were watching a movie on the couch, some Netflix original Wanda had chosen, from the looks of it. 

“Hey, gang,” Sam greeted with a dazzling smile. He noted you and Bucky in such a tight grip and his eyebrows shot up. “Damn, Barnes, finally ‘fess up to your feelings? Little liquid courage was all you needed, huh?”

You were still laughing as you asked, “What feelings?”

The room instantly dropped ten degrees in temperature. Nat seemed to sober up, and Steve instantly stopped laughing. The smile fell from Sam’s face and even Wanda seemed to fold into herself as she stood gracefully off the couch. Bucky tensed up as your gaze turned up to him. 

“Bro, I’m sorry, I just assumed–” Sam stumbled over an apology.

“N-nothing, doll,” Bucky laughed, trying to play it off. “Nothing.”

“Are you sure?” you asked. You laughed and hid your blush in his jacket. “That’s not what it sounded like.”

Out of the corner of his eye, Bucky saw a soft flash of red, and then heard Wanda whisper, “Oh…”

“Don’t worry, girl,” Sam tried to assure you. “I didn’t mean anything by it.”

“Oh.” Was that disappointment in your eyes?

“Yeah, sweetheart,” Steve said, putting a hand on your shoulder. “Let’s get you upstairs–”

Nat huffed and rolled her eyes. “Oh, for fuck’s sake. Barnes has the hots for you and has for about six months he’s just too pussy to admit it.”

The whole room froze. Only Wanda breathed out, “Shit…”

You giggled. “You like me?”

“Uh, maybe now isn’t the best time for this–” Bucky stuttered.

“Like a crush?” You were overly-giggly. In any other situation, he would have found you adorable. 

“Let’s get you upstairs, doll,” he said instead. 

“Buck, I can–” Steve began.

“I got it.” He just ushered you upstairs, leaving the group alone. 

You laughed up the stairs and down the hall. “Is she serious? You like me, Buck?”

“This isn’t grade school, doll,” he huffed. He pushed open the door.

“I know, but I like the sound of it. Bucky Barnes likes me.” You giggled in that completely unnecessarily adorable way again. “It makes me happy.”

He sat you down on your bed with a humored huff. “Anything to make you happy.”

“I like it when you call me ‘doll,’” you said.

Bucky ran his tongue over his teeth. “Heh… Anything to make you happy, then, doll.”

“Yeah,” you laughed with the cutest smile that just about made Bucky’s heart jump out of his chest. “Like that.”

Bucky considered saying something, but instead just patted your leg before choking out, “You should go to sleep.”

“Wait, wait,” you said. You caught his hand and his heart lept into his throat. “Goodnight kiss.” A pout pulled on your bottom lip and god he really did want to kiss it. 

“Not now, you’re drunk,” he resided. 

“I’m not too drunk to give you a hard time about crushing on me,” you teased. Bucky couldn’t do anything but sigh and not meet your eye. “And I’m not too drunk to tell you I also like you.”

He froze. “Honey, I know that’s the alcohol. If you just go to bed you might not even remember this and then–”

“No!” you whined, that pout returning to that bottom lip. “I wanna remember it.”

Bucky just stared at you, shifting uncomfortably on his feet. “I…”

“C’mon, I’ve been waiting. For you to admit it.” You looked away bashfully. “I’m not blind, y’know.”

“I mean, I didn't think–I just wasn’t sure–Uh, I guess–”

Bucky was still stuttering as you rolled your eyes and let you an exasperated, “Come on, Bucky!” and the got up and then–

And then you pulled his face to yours and kissed him. Hard but your lips were so soft you tasted like honey and vodka. Just another thing for him to get lost in, he guessed.

It was a while before you parted, and all he could manage was, “Thank god.”

Falling Back Into You (Chapter 3)

(A/N): I’m back with Chapter 3 of this SingleMom! Alex imagine. I’ve been having writer’s block so it took a bit longer than expected. This is a pretty long ass chapter. Not proofread in any way. Hope you guys like it!

Being the best friend that she is, Kelley quickly made her way to Alex's house after their phone conversation about (Y/N).

Kelley had always seen the pair act differently around each other, even during their younger days in the USWNT.

So she wasn't entirely surprised that Alex was currently pacing around in her own living room while the former Utah Royal looked on amused.

"Maybe you're just really excited to see her after all these years?" Kelley offered, but not exactly believing herself.

She had always thought Alex and (Y/N) would've made a good couple in another life.

They were like, each other's 'one that got away' as far as Kelley was concerned.

"Maybe... but I'm worried about how warm and fuzzy I feel inside when I'm with her. Especially when she's interacting with Mia" Alex exclaimed, running her hands through her hair.

"She's nice, she always makes people feel warm and fuzzy" Kelley said, shrugging her shoulders.

But Alex still looked frantic. Kelley wondered if a person could be too old for gay panic, because it seems like Alex is having it right now.

"Besides, Al. So what if you have a crush on (Y/N)? I'm pretty sure she feels the same way" Kelley said.

Alex blushed furiously at the thought that her feelings might be reciprocated.

"Wh-what makes you say that?" Alex said, sitting down on her couch next to Kelley.

"She picked up your kid from school, she bought you food... twice! That's like the greatest love language of all: FOOD!" Kelley said. Alex manages a laugh at her friend's logic.

"She's like that for everybody" Alex said, not wanting to get any hopes of something more than friendship with (Y/N).

"No, Al. She's got a real soft spot for you and it seemed to trickle down to Mia, too" Kelley said, smiling knowingly at Alex.

"Did you know she played soccer with Mia today? She pretended she was a goal keeper... She was wearing oven mitts for goodness sake! Why did I find that adorable?" Alex said, once again exasperated at her newly surfaced feelings.

Kelley chuckled and placed her arm around Alex's shoulder and pulled her for a side hug.

"You, my friend, are having gay panic. Bi panic, specifically" Kelley said. Alex groaned.

"Really? In my 40s?" Alex said.

"Better late than never, I suppose" Kelley said before bursting into laughter.

"Shhh! Don't wake Mia up!" Alex said, moving to shush Kelley with her hand.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry" Kelley said, stifling her laughter.

"So, are you nervous for Friday?" Kelley asked, leaning back on the couch.

"Very. Plus... I may have invited her over for dinner next week" Alex said, almost whispering the last part.

"You what? Oop. Already planning date night, are we?" Kelley teased. Alex once again blushed madly.

"I-it's not a date. It's just a thank you to her for picking up Mia today" Alex said, covering her reddening face.

"Alright, Al. If you say so" Kelley said, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Alex groaned.

"I'm too old for this" Alex said. Kelley laughs and straightens up.

"Well, Al... It's pretty late. I gotta get back to Cassie or I'm sleeping on the couch tonight" Kelley said, moving to stand up. Alex looks at her friend and nods.

"Thanks for coming over. I just... I'm not really used to this feelings thing anymore" Alex admitted. Kelley smiled and gives her a slight push to the head.

"I'm glad for you Al. This will turn out better than you expect, I promise" Kelley said reassuringly. Alex doesn't exactly believe her but hums in agreement anyway.

"Thanks Kell. See you Friday. Bring the whole gang, will you?" Alex said.

"Sure you won't want (Y/N) all to yourself?" Kelley teased as she walked towards the door. Alex throws a pillow in her direction but the former Utah Royal quickly dodged it and stuck her tongue out.

"Goodnight, Kell. Drive safe" Alex said, smiling. Kelley waves before heading out the door.

For the first time today, Alex is left alone with her thoughts and feelings.

She lets herself fall into the couch and sigh.

She was pretty fucked.

---

Friday came too soon for Alex's comfort. She had mixed feelings about today, she was beyond excited, don't get her wrong.

It's just that she was also incredibly nervous about seeing (Y/N) with her realization that she may have feelings for her former teammate.

Her phone dinged with a text from (Y/N).

Hey, what time does Mia get out of school? I promised I'd hang out with her before we all go out for drinks tonight.

Alex couldn't help the smile that graces her features.

We'll be at home at 4pm. Alex typed out her reply.

(Y/N)'s answer was almost immediate.

Great. I'll drop by then. See you later, Al.

The sound of her university soccer players entering the pitch pulled her from her thoughts.

Right, she had work to do. She pushes the thoughts of tonight at the back of her head and started on her day.

---

Meanwhile, (Y/N) was mulling over what to wear in her loft. She wanted to make a good impression, not just on Alex but on all her other friends.

Her watch read 2:30pm. She had about an hour before she needed to leave.

She stared at the pile of clothes she had laid down on her bed. A button up and a jacket would be too formal, but a shirt would be too casual.

She settled for a navy blue mandarin collar button up and black slacks. Just sleek enough to pass off as someone who had their shit together.

Being the basic lesbian that she is, she didn't take long in getting ready and had about 15 minutes to spare.

But a light bulb lit up in her head. Grabbing her wallet and keys, (Y/N) dashed down to her car and pulled out of her driveway.

In record time, (Y/N) found herself in front of her favorite flower store: Freda's floral emporium.

Stepping out of her car, (Y/N) entered the store. She was greeted by the store's owner.

"Why, it's good to see you (Y/N)!" Freda greeted. (Y/N) smiled and headed on over to her.

"Good to see you too, Freda" (Y/N) said, pulling the elderly woman for a hug.

"It's too early for mother's day, isn't it? And it isn't Gloria or Ariel's birthday" Freda said, commenting that (Y/N) only usually came on those occasions.

"Well, it's not for family this time, Freda" (Y/N) said shyly, scratching the back of her neck.

Freda's eyes light up and she almost jumps for joy.

"Oooh! Is it for a special girl?" Freda said, already leaving her post in the counter to help (Y/N) look for the perfect bouquet.

"Sorta, yeah... Damn, Freda. This seems like I'm back in high school again" (Y/N) said, chuckling at how young and aloof she feels at buying a girl she likes flowers.

"Never too late to find love, I tell ya!" Freda said, already picking out her best flowers for her favorite customer.

"She's just a friend though, I doubt she feels the same way" (Y/N) said. Freda abruptly stops what she's doing and stares at (Y/N).

"Oh I think she'll change her mind with these flowers I'm making. Besides, who wouldn't want a piece of you!" Freda retorts. (Y/N) blushes and playfully nudges the older woman.

"What? It's true! Oh if I only had a daughter, I would've set her up with you a long time ago" Freda said, arranging her newly picked flowers for (Y/N).

"You flatter me, Freda" (Y/N) said, laughing at the woman's antics.

"There! Perfect. Any woman would fawn over this!" Freda said, handing (Y/N) a beautiful bouquet with roses and a single sunflower in the middle.

"Wow, this is amazing Freda" (Y/N) said, inspecting the flowers. She gives it a sniff and almost sneezes.

Bad idea, she thought.

"All in a day's work" Freda said smugly. But (Y/N) had one more request.

"Oh Freda, can I get a bouquet of daisies? For her kid?" (Y/N) said, wanting to surprise Mia as well.

If Freda was a bit taken aback at (Y/N)'s love interest having a kid, she did a good job of showing it.

"Ah, don't worry. Freda has got you covered!" She said, scurrying again to pick out daisies.

"Thanks, Freda. You're the best" (Y/N) calls after her, still looking at the bouquet in her hand.

She hoped Alex would like it.

In no time, Freda walks back to the counter with a small daisy bouquet in hand.

"I know I'm the best" Freda said, smiling proudly at (Y/N).

"How much for the two bouquets, Freda?" (Y/N) asked, setting Alex's flowers down to pull out her wallet.

Thumbing through her bills, she pulls out a 50 bill.

"Just 30, the daisies are on the house" Freda said. (Y/N) looks scandalized at the thought of not paying everything she owed.

"I refuse to let you go bankrupt, Freda!" (Y/N) said, pushing the 50 bill.

"I won't. Just promise me you'll get me as the flower supplier for your wedding!" Freda said, handing (Y/N) back a 20.

(Y/N) flushes but takes the change.

"I'll let you know, Freda" (Y/N) said, chuckling. She picks up both bouquets and walks out of the store.

"Thank you, Freda!" (Y/N) calls out.

"You're welcome, kiddo! Get her!" Freda said. (Y/N) smiles and heads on over to her car.

It's already a little bit past four when (Y/N) finds herself at the Morgans' doorstep.

She takes a deep breathe, and knocks on the door with both bouquets in hand.

"Just a minute" Alex called from the other side. (Y/N) shifts in her place, a bit nervous.

Alex opens the door with a smile so bright (Y/N) thought she was going to pass out.

"Hey" Alex said.

"Hey yourself" (Y/N) replied. They momentarily just stare into each other before (Y/N) gets back to her senses.

"I-uh, these are for you!" (Y/N) said, putting the bouquet forward. She doesn't miss the bright red blush that graces Alex's features.

"Wow... this looks amazing (Y/N)" Alex said, taking the bouquet.

"And these, are for Mia" (Y/N) said, showing the simple daisy bouquet. Alex smiles even wider at (Y/N).

Why does she have to be so thoughtful? Is this romantic? Is she trying to be romantic? A flurry of thoughts racing in Alex's head.

"You're so sweet" Alex said. She turns a bit to call for her daughter who was in the living room.

"Mia! Auntie (Y/N) has something for you!" Alex said. Mia quickly jumped up and ran over to the front door.

"For you, m'lady" (Y/N) said, crouching down to Mia's height. The girl takes one look at the flowers and squeals.

Mia takes the flowers and envelopes (Y/N) in a hug.

"Thank you Auntie! They're amazing!" Mia said, running inside to put it in a vase.

"Please be careful with the vases, baby girl. Do not hurt yourself" Alex called after her. She looked back at (Y/N) and invited her in.

"If you keep on giving her stuff, she's gonna be expecting it every time" Alex said, smiling at (Y/N).

"Then I'll do it every time" (Y/N) said grinning back at Alex. Alex felt the blood rush to her face and she hides behind the bouquet.

"I'm... gonna go put this in water. You can join Mia in the living room!" Alex said, before hurrying away from (Y/N).

(Y/N) looked weirdly in the direction where Alex had bolted but shrugged her shoulders.

Alex rushed into the kitchen and got one of the vases kept in the cupboards. She takes a moment to control her heart before putting the bouquet in water.

She places the vase next to Mia's and shoots Kelley a text.

She brought me and Mia flowers, FREAKING FLOWERS KELLEY!

Kelley, who was already on standby next to her phone since Alex had said (Y/N) was already on her way to them was able to see it immediately.

The former Utah Royal lets out an honest to God 'Awwww' while on her way to the bar they'll be meeting at.

She quickly types out her reply.

Ohhhh girl, she's definitely into you!

Kelley's reply does nothing to quell the blush on Alex's face. She groaned and rubbed her hands on her face.

"Okay, Alex. You can handle this. It's just a crush" Alex said to herself quietly.

She was three-time world cup champion, she can definitely survive having feelings for her friend.

Right? Right.

When she walks back in the living room, (Y/N) and Mia are deeply immersed in first-grade math homework, sitting on the carpeted floor.

Mia was chewing on her bottom lip and looking intently at her textbook.

"How about this Auntie, what do I gotta do?" Mia said, (Y/N) looks over to where she's pointing and proceeds to try and teach the girl what she needed to do.

Alex looks affectionately at the pair and silently walks to take a seat in the couch.

(Y/N) looks up at Alex and grins.

"Gays can't do math" (Y/N) mouths. Alex couldn't help but laugh and shake her head.

She pulls out her phone and snapped a photo of the scene before her. She contemplated putting it on social media, but thought better to ask (Y/N) first later.

(Y/N) continued to help Mia with her homework with Alex simply watching them.

She was mesmerized at how natural it looked to see (Y/N) with Mia. Maybe it was her crush talking, she didn't know.

"Mom look! I finished my homework so quick!" Mia said, lifting her textbook for Alex to see.

"That's great, baby. I'm proud of you" Alex said, walking over to sit on Mia's other side.

Anybody could've taken a look at the three of them all huddled up and think that they were a happy family.

"Can we watch soccer now?" Mia said, looking up pleadingly at her mother. Alex smiled and reached for the remote.

She flipped the television to ESPN just in time for an NWSL game. With Mia engrossed in the action, Alex took the opportunity to talk to (Y/N) quietly.

"Look at you and Mia" Alex said, showing (Y/N) the photo she took. (Y/N) turned and beamed at the photo.

"Wow that looks really nice. I love it" (Y/N) said, she takes Alex's hand to pull the phone closer to her.

They both ignore the electricity that they felt when their hands touched.

"Will it be alright if I post it on Instagram?" Alex said. (Y/N) lets go of her hand and she misses the contact immediately.

"Sure, why not" (Y/N) said, smiling. Alex draws back her phone and opens up social media.

"What's your handle? Do you even have Instagram still?" Alex said, already typing out the post.

"Yeah. I'm not a grandma. I just don't use it a lot" (Y/N) said with a laugh.

"Is your handle the same?" Alex said. (Y/N) nods.

Not long after Alex posted the photo, (Y/N)'s phone started ringing with notifications.

"Her new favorite Auntie" Alex's post read.

"I love my new title" (Y/N) said, chuckling. She spotted a comment from Kelley and Allie.

K: Hey no. She cannot dethrone me that fast! A: Well, I'm pretty useless when it comes to homework so she can have that part of the job.

"Oh I forgot to ask, who among the girls are going to make it tonight?" (Y/N) said, scrolling through the comments.

She noticed a few fans commenting about their 'ship' coming alive after all these years.

There isn't a ship when it's unrequited, she thought.

"Kelley, Allie, Krashlyn and Preath all said they would come!" Alex said.

"Nice" (Y/N) said, her excitement of seeing her old teammates bubbling inside of her.

"Some of the younger ones are still busy with the NWSL season so they couldn't make it" Alex said.

"I totally get that" (Y/N) said. The pair was a little bit startled when someone knocked on the door.

Alex looked over her shoulder and stood up.

"Must be the babysitter" Alex said. (Y/N) nods and puts her arm around Mia who was starting to doze off after the game finished.

Alex walked to the front door and opened it.

"Hey, Greta. Thanks for coming " Alex greeted her usual baby sitter. The teen smiled and walked inside.

"Hey, Alex. No problem. Anything for sweet little Mia" Greta said. The pair walked into (Y/N) carrying Mia who was already fast asleep to lie on the couch.

(Y/N) looked at them and put a finger to her mouth to signal them to be quiet.

Alex swore she had never seen anything more adorable. She quietly made her way to Alex and Greta.

"Out like a light. Must've been the math" (Y/N) said, chuckling.

"(Y/N), this is Greta. The best baby sitter in town" Alex said, motioning to the teenage girl next to her.

"Hey Greta. I'm (Y/N)" (Y/N) said, offering her hand to Greta. But the teen just gaped.

"... (Y/N)? As in (Y/N) (L/N), USWNT legend?" Greta said. Alex laughed and linked their arms.

"The one and only" Alex said proudly.

Greta couldn't believe her luck. The number of football players she had met because of her babysitting job with Alex Morgan.

She almost thought it was a scam when a craigslist ad for a babysitter was listed under the soccer star.

(Y/N) laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her neck. Alex looked knowingly at Greta.

"Why don't you take a photo with her?" Alex said, nudging (Y/N).

"Would that be okay?" Greta said hopefully. (Y/N) nodded and smiled.

"Sure. It's kinda funny how you know me" (Y/N) said, moving to her side. Greta gave Alex her phone and squealed.

"You're like one of the greatest of all time" Greta said happily. (Y/N) blushed and swung her arm over the teen's shoulder.

"Thank you, but I'm not" (Y/N) said, chuckling. Alex snapped the photo and handed Greta back her phone.

"She's humble like that" Alex said, grinning at (Y/N).

Greta thanked (Y/N) for the photo and proceeded to look after the sleeping Mia.

"I'll go get ready" Alex said, motioning she'll be going upstairs for a bit. (Y/N) nods and lounges around in the kitchen.

She's busy scrolling through her phone when Alex emerges from the top of the stairs. As if by instinct, (Y/N) looks up and her breath is caught in her throat.

Alex looked stunning in a striped dress that hugged her curves just right (A/N: Just imagine her wearing the dress she has on in her vogue shoot on Instagram. I don't know how to describe it lmao).

"I feel like I should've dressed up more" (Y/N) said, still gawking at the former Orlando forward as she went down the stairs.

"Please. You don't look so bad yourself" Alex said, and with a surge of courage threw a wink at (Y/N)'s direction.

(Y/N) blushed at the comment and followed Alex like a lost puppy as she gave Greta a few more reminders before they went on their way.

"Dinner's in the fridge. Her vitamins are in the usual cupboard and bedtime is at 9:30pm please" Alex said. Greta nodded her head. Mia was still out like a light on the couch.

(Y/N)'s heart warmed as Alex bent down to kiss her daughter goodbye.

"I got us a Lyft so nobody has to be the designated driver" (Y/N) said, grinning at Alex as they made their way outside.

"Smart. What about your car though?" Alex said. (Y/N) shrugged.

"I'll bring it home once I've sobered up enough. Would you mind if I leave it here?" (Y/N) said. Alex's mind raced at the possibilities of (Y/N) having to come by her house after drinks.

"Not at all" Alex said. (Y/N) beamed and offered her arm, Alex smiled and accepted, linking them together.

It didn't take long for the Lyft to arrive and they were off to the bar.

Both women were buzzing with excitement at the thought of reuniting with their friends.

"I wonder if Kelley can still hold her alcohol like she did when we won the World Cup back in 2019" (Y/N) thought aloud. Alex snorted.

"Oh she definitely still can. She's a 21-year-old frat boy stuck in a 40-something's body" Alex said. (Y/N) laughed.

"God I can't wait to see them. I feel bad for not really staying in touch with you guys all these years" (Y/N) said sadly, looking down at her hands.

"Hey, don't worry about it. Life happens. You're here now right?" Alex said, taking (Y/N)'s hand and squeezing it.

(Y/N) offered her a smile and felt infinitely better. They spent the rest of the ride still holding hands.

Neither of them acknowledged the other's disinterest to let go.

The only time (Y/N) finally lets go of Alex's hand is when she has to pay the driver once they arrived.

They thanked the Lyft and went inside the bar. Kelley had immediately spotted them and began waving wildly from her seat.

"Alex! (Y/N)!" Kelley said loudly. The pair whipped their heads in her direction and laughed at the woman.

Still the same Kelley after all these years, (Y/N) thought. They approached Kelley with wide smiles.

Once they were close enough, Kelley attacked (Y/N) with a bear hug.

"How long has it been (Y/N)!!!!" Kelley said, squeezing the living life out of (Y/N).

Alex couldn't help but laugh at the sight of her two friends.

"Nice to see you too, Kell. Now let me go before I pass out" (Y/N) said, chuckling.

"Oop, sorry" Kelley said with a cheesy grin. They take their seats while waiting for the rest of the gang to show up.

They had talked about (Y/N) being intrigued with Mia during her camp that eventually led to her reconnecting with Alex and the rest of the team.

Kelley nodded along like Alex hadn't already gushed about it to her.

It took about 15 minutes before the rest of the gang showed up, Allie had arrived with Preath while Krashlyn came as a couple.

"Still the third wheel, I see?" (Y/N) said to Allie with a smirk. Allie rolled her eyes.

"Shut up, (Y/L/N)" Allie replied. (Y/N) laughed.

The group of friends easily fell into conversation once they were settled down with drinks.

As per usual, Ashlyn was the one documenting the whole thing and posting it on her Instagram stories.

"When I heard about the social work you were doing, I checked it out on the internet. It seems amazing" Christen told (Y/N) with the whole gang nodding their heads in a approval.

"Thank you. That means a lot, from a CEO like you" (Y/N) said with a smile, talking about their successful re-inc company.

"We really missed you, man" Tobin said. She was one of (Y/N)'s closest friends on the team, if not the closest.

"I know. I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep in touch" (Y/N) said shyly. She really felt bad.

Alex reached out for her hand under the table and squeezed again. (Y/N) glanced at her and smiled for the comfort.

"It's fine. We barely realized you weren't there" Ali said jokingly.

"Yeah... who is she? I don't know her" Ashlyn said. The mood lightened with Krashlyn's antics.

"Alright, enough with that emotional shit. It's time for Never Have I Ever!" Kelley said, raising her shot glass filled with tequila.

"Still the college frat boy, are we Kelley?" (Y/N) said, laughing.

"Of course. That's like my brand" Kelley said.

The game started out pretty simple, with most relating to soccer practice when they were still in the USWNT.

Everyone on the table was surprised when Christen took a shot after the Never Have I Ever faked being sick to skip practice.

"What? I'm human too" Christen said defensively. Kelley, Ashlyn and Allie gave her approving looks.

"Let's make this interesting and because I want Preath and Krashlyn to take more shots" Allie said. Clearing her throat.

"Never Have I Ever fallen in love with a teammate" Allie said. She narrowed her eyes at the two couples as they groaned and took shots.

Alex wondered if she should take a shot. Was she in love? It was just a crush right?

But what was surprising to everyone was when (Y/N) slowly took her shot glass and downed it in one go.

"Oh my God?" Allie said, looking at (Y/N) at disbelief. Alex felt a feeling of giddyness and jealousy bubble up inside of her at the same time.

Who did (Y/N) have feelings for? But at the back of her mind, she was really hoping it was her.

"What?" (Y/N) said, a blush creeping up on her face. Alex was also looking at her. She couldn't tell what the other woman was thinking.

Could she see right through me? (Y/N) thought.

"Spill" Ashlyn said. Allie and Ali (lol) nodded in approval.

Tobin and Christen glanced at (Y/N) worriedly, obviously knowing who it was.

"Nope" (Y/N) said, taking another shot.

"No fun!" Allie said, pouting at the other woman.

"Maybe next time" (Y/N) said, risking a glance at Alex's direction. She was playing with her shot glass, seemingly deep in thought.

The game continued on for about 15 minutes more before they grew tired and simply settled on sharing stories.

(Y/N) felt happy that her friends were still all so successful. She missed them so much and really meant it when she said there would be a 'next time'.

Before long, it was deep into the night. With kids waiting on them at home, Krashlyn and Preath excused themselves.

"See ya. Everybody just get a Lyft or an Uber please. Stay safe" Allie told the two couples.

They nodded before saying their goodbyes and heading out.

"Hey. Until what time can Greta watch Mia?" (Y/N) asked the more than tipsy Alex next to her.

The forward was feeling a bit woozy, already leaning her head on (Y/N)'s shoulder.

"She can watch her until 10pm I think" Alex said. (Y/N) looked at her watch and it was already past nine.

"It's past nine. Do you want to head back already?" (Y/N) said. Alex checks her phone and nods lazily.

"Alright. I'll get us a Lyft. I still gotta get my car at your place" (Y/N) said. Alex hummed in approval.

She sends a weak glare at Kelley and Allie's way when they wiggle their eyebrows at her while (Y/N) was busy with her phone.

After a few minutes, their Lyft driver had arrived and (Y/N) helped Alex get up.

"It was really nice getting to catch up guys. Let's do this again soon" (Y/N) said, looking at Allie and Kelley.

"Definitely" Allie said. (Y/N) smiled before assisting Alex out.

Alex spared a look at Allie and Kelley before they headed out the door. Her two friends winked at her and gave her a thumbs up.

She laughed and flipped them off. The Lyft ride home was filled with comfortable silence, both of them buzzed enough to just enjoy each other's company.

When they finally arrived, (Y/N) walked with Alex inside. They find Greta waiting in the living room.

"Hey. Mia's already asleep upstairs" Greta said, standing up and gathering her things.

"Thanks, Greta. Sorry we were out a bit late" Alex said, looking apologetically at the teen.

She shrugged and smiled.

"Mia's an angel, it's no problem" Greta said. Alex handed her the payment and she headed out.

"Are you sure you're sober enough to drive?" Alex said, turning her attention to (Y/N).

"I guess so" (Y/N) said. She wasn't drunk, but she definitely wasn't completely sober. Alex scrunched up her brows.

"That's not good enough. Why don't you stay the night?" Alex offered without thinking. They both blushed at the prospect.

"I-i mean, if you want" Alex said. (Y/N) smiled.

"I'd love to" (Y/N) answered. Alex grinned.

"Great. I'll just check on Mia. You can freshen up in the bathroom in my room" Alex said. (Y/N) nodded.

(Y/N) headed to her car to get a spare set of clothes she always kept there for emergencies.

She mentally thanked herself for doing that because she would definitely not look good in Alex's clothes.

Maybe the other way around would work, she thought. The image of Alex wearing her clothes entered her mind and she blushed.

"Great now that's stuck in my head" (Y/N) grumbled to herself.

She went back inside and stopped in her tracks when she realized she didn't know where Alex's room was.

She sighed and pulled out her phone. She really couldn't call out for Alex if Mia was already asleep.

Ok I just realized I don't know which one is your room. (Y/N) typed. She pressed send and waited for a bit before Alex's reply came.

Oh shit yeah, sorry. Second door to the left upstairs. Alex's text read.

(Y/N) made her way up and walked to Alex's room. But the sight of Alex and Mia caught her eye in the room before Alex's.

Mia was fast asleep, hugging a soccer ball plushie with Alex stroking her hair.

(Y/N) smiled to herself and proceeded to enter Alex's room. She helped herself to the bathroom and freshened up.

She was just about finishing up when she heard the door open and close, meaning that Alex was probably already in the room.

(Y/N) walked out with her worn out Portland Thorns jersey and shorts. Alex chuckled at her wardrobe choice.

"What? It was the only thing I had in the car" (Y/N) said defensively. Alex laughed and approached her.

"I think it's cute. It still suits you" Alex said, looking up at (Y/N). The latter swore she could get lost in those blue eyes forever.

"Why thank you" (Y/N) managed with a smile. Alex smiles back and proceeds to side step her way into the bathroom.

"My turn" Alex said, closing the door on (Y/N).

Having nothing to do while waiting for Alex, (Y/N) looked around the room. She noticed Alex's soccer trophies on full display on a shelf next to her study table.

She also took a peek at the framed photos on the wall. Their World Cup victories, including the 2023 one that (Y/N) wasn't a part of, club pictures from Orlando, a few photos of her and Mia.

(Y/N) smiled, looking at Alex's face on the photographs. She swore that smile could light up a whole room.

(Y/N) is brought out of her thoughts when Alex walks out of the bath. (Y/N) looks up at almost passes out then and there.

The former Orlando star is wearing nothing but a tank top and short shorts and she really doesn't want to stare so she avoids looking at Alex in general.

"I-uh, I'm going to head down Al. Good night!" (Y/N) stuttered out, making a beeline for the door.

But Alex grabbed her wrist, forcing her to stop.

"Why?" Alex said, her eyes a bit glassy still because of the alcohol.

"So I could sleep in the couch?" (Y/N) said, almost as a question.

"You could sleep here with me. I mean, the bed's big enough for the both of us" Alex said. (Y/N) was putty in her hands, especially with the tinge of hope she could hear in Alex's request.

"Are you sure, Al? I wouldn't want to intrude on your personal space" (Y/N) said. But Alex is already dragging her to the bed.

"You won't. I promise" Alex said. (Y/N) can feel her heart pounding when they get settled.

She tries to focus on her breathing, it was just Alex. Friends do this all the time right? Right.

"Will you cuddle me?" Alex said. Even in the darkness of the room (Y/N) could see the sparkle in Alex's eyes.

She couldn't really say no to that.

"Okay" (Y/N) said, wrapping her arms around Alex. The latter buries herself in the other woman's arm. Feeling warm at the contact.

"Goodnight, (Y/N)" Alex said, smiling contentedly. If it was the alcohol or (Y/N)'s embrace, she didn't know but she felt the most calm she's ever been in years.

"Goodnight, Al" (Y/N) said, still trying to keep her pounding heart at bay.

To be continued.

American Sweetheart (Sweet Pea)

“Every snake has a soft underbelly...She’s yours.”

One | Two | Three | Four

You opened your mouth to retort, only stopping when you saw the familiar car of Reggie Mantle pull into the parking lot.

“Uh oh”

“What?” Sweet Pea asked, using your diverted attention to dip a fry into the remaining half of your milkshake. “Reggie and about half of the football team just pulled in,” You mumbled.

“So what?” He asked raising an eyebrow.

“So, they hate anything and everything to do with the Southside. That includes the people.” You stated before narrowing your eyes at him. “Did you just put your fry into my milkshake?”

“You mean the milkshake I’m paying for? I sure did, Princess. And if those mutts try anything, I’ll just kick their asses.”

The door chimed, signaling the arrival of the Bulldogs. “Look what we have here, boys,” Reggie’s voice cut through the soft chatter in the diner. Multiple sets of footsteps approached your table as you gulped, practically feeling yourself retreating into your shell. “A serpent in the Bulldog Den. And what’s this with him? A Serpent Slut? We got a two-for-one!”

“I suggest you watch your mouth, Mantle,” Sweet Pea’s voice cut through the air. You winced at the ice cold tone he used. Sure, he was pretty much cold to you 24/7, but the voice he reserved for people like Reggie was just pure venom.

“Or what? What’re you gonna do? We outnumber you, Serpent,” Reggie taunted, stepping closer. Sweet Pea stood up to his full size, practically dwarfing the football players. You noticed that Reggie took a small step backwards.

“I think I can handle it,” Sweet Pea sneered, glaring down at the football player, taking a step forward. He paused when he felt a tug on his jacket.

“Can you take me home, Sweets? Please?” You asked quietly. The group’s eyes all fell on you as if just remembering you were there.

Taking in your tired face, Sweet Pea groaned softly. “Fine, let’s go.”

Sweet Pea pushed through the group of guys with ease, leading you to his bike. You immediately shivered once you stepped outside. It felt like it had gotten colder within the short time you were in Pop’s. Maybe it was just the milkshake.

 “Sit in front of me this time. If you fall asleep and you’re on the back you’re probably gonna die and frankly I don’t feel like explaining that to Toni, Jughead, or Fangs,” He commanded, pulling you onto the space in front of him. You nodded, making sure you moved forward so he had enough room.

“And here,” He mumbled before a jacket was dropped on your head as he sat behind you. “If you get sick then the rest of us will end up getting sick.”

You slid the jacket on thankfully, laughing to yourself at how large it must have looked on you. And because it gave you slappy-sleeves. Sweet Pea’s chest ended up pressing against your back so he could properly reach the handlebars.

“What are you? Some type of human space heater?” You asked, feeling the heat radiating off of him. “I can take my jacket back, you know,” He retorted, revving the engine.

“No no,” You quickly answered. “I’ll shut up.”

You spent the entirety of the ride smirking to yourself smugly. All those years of acting like you were going to fall asleep any second to get out of your dad’s company events had finally paid off, seeing as Sweet Pea completely believed you.

When you pulled up to your trailer you could see your brothers’ lights were still on. “I’m dead,” You sighed, climbing off of Sweet Pea’s bike.

“That was some pretty good acting back there,” Sweet Pea commented, crossing his arms and leaning back on his bike. “It almost convinced even me. But not quite.”

You frowned, “I thought I was pretty good. How did you know I was faking it?”

“Well, after having the misfortune of seeing you in school these past few days, I’ve realized how you act when you’re tired. You’re either whiny, grouchy, a dumbass, or overly affectionate to whoever you’re the closest to. You were neither of those things. But you did look scared, so I let it slide.”

You scoffed, crossing your arms in the oversized leather jacket. “I was not scared. I just didn’t see why you needed to get into some dumbass fight for no reason.” You grumbled.

“A Serpent doesn’t show cowardice. It’s one of the laws,” Sweet Pea replied, pointing to the snake tattooed on his neck.

“I don’t think that means fight anyone and everyone that pisses you off, Sweets.”

The corners of his mouth tilted up into a slight grin at the name, before he quickly dropped them again. “You gonna give my jacket back or what?”

You tossed his onto his head, much like he had done you. “Goodnight, Sweet Pea,” You called out before making your way to the trailer. “Night,” He replied. You gave him a slight smile before shutting the door, knowing that the next time you saw him it would be like this night had never happened.

It was the day of Jughead’s final task and he was a wreck. What Toni had told him really messed him up. So, being the amazing friend you are, you had stayed with him that day, talking him through it. When he got the text from Sweet Pea saying him and the rest of the Serpents were heading over, you both made your way out of the trailer.

Since the night you went to Pop’s with Sweet Pea, things had been relatively the same. He didn’t make as many snide remark as he did, but overall it was as if the night had never happened. You were both surprised to see Archie Andrews standing outside the trailer.

“Archie,” Jughead murmured, looking surprised, and worried, that his friend was there.

“We gotta talk, Jug,” Archie replied. He seemed antsy.

“Uh, now’s really not a good time, okay? You need to leave,” Jug informed him, looking around for any sign of the Serpents.

“What’s going on?” Archie asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

“What the hell do we have here?” Sweet Pea’s voice rang out as you and Jug froze.

“Just leave him, alright,” Jug replied, walking towards the other boy.

“Wait. You’re friends with these thugs? Are you joining the Serpents?” Archie quizzed as you nervously watched Sweet Pea for any signs he was gonna explode.

“If he survives. And go ahead, and call us thugs one more time,” He growled, walking forward. Jughead pushed him back slightly as you walked over to add another person between him and Archie.

“Jughead. These are the guys who attacked me! Who attacked Reggie, and Veronica, and Dilton. Your friends.” Archie rebuked.

“Is that why you’re here?” Jughead asked. “To warn me?”

“No. I’m here to tell you to stay away from Betty. She doesn’t want to see you anymore.” You took a step closer to Sweet Pea, away from Archie and Jughead. You did not want to be in the war zone for that battle.

You watched in shock as Archie went on a rant on why Betty didn’t want to see Jughead anymore, glancing at Sweet Pea to make sure he didn’t attack Archie for calling the Southside the “dark side”. He only narrowed his eyes at the redhead.

Archie walked by you on his way out of Sunnyside, pausing when he saw you. He opened his mouth as if to say something before closing it, shaking his head, and quickly walking away at the threatening look Sweet Pea gave him. Jughead turned to face all of you.

“What!?” He snapped. “Did you enjoy the show!?” You took a step back, wincing . You may be used to Sweet Pea raising his voice at you all the time, but Jughead was a different story.

Sweet Pea seemed amused by his anger, a small smirk on his face. It fell, almost turning to a look of pity. Almost. “The show hasn’t even started yet.”

Jughead stared down the slowly growing two columns of Serpents. You stood at the end, observing with Tallboy and Toni, while Sweet Pea and Tallboy discussed the whole thing.

Your eyes widened slightly when you saw the brass knuckles Sweet Pea was sliding on. “You’re gonna use brass knuckles on Jug? Don’t you already hit hard enough?” You asked, eyes wide.

Sweet Pea rolled his eyes. “Relax, the last hit is always supposed to be the hardest,” He murmured wiping the knuckles off on his shirt.

“Yeah but wouldn’t you rather have a gang member that’s, oh I don’t know, alive?” You urged in a whisper.

“It won’t kill him, don’t be such a drama queen,” He retorted. “Now back up. I don’t want to accidentally hit you.”

“Awwwee, Sweet Pea, you do care!” You snickered, unable to miss a moment to taunt the boy.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just back the fuck up,” He grumbled, keeping his eyes on Jughead.

“You didn’t deny it though!” You called back, walking back until you were beside Toni.

You could barely stand watching all those people beat your friend, but just like with the kid you accidentally witness get initiated, the end was the worst. You could tell from the glint in Sweet Pea’s eye, this was gonna be payback for all those times Jughead pissed him off.

Your assumption was proved right when he swung as hard as possible, sending Jughead to the ground with a loud thud. He looked like he enjoyed it a little too much, in your opinion. Eventually, Jughead got off the ground, looking like complete and utter shit if you were being honest.

Sweet Pea held out his hand to Jug, a newfound look of respect on his face. After Jughead took his hand, he was handed his leather jacket. He had worn it before, after Tallboy had given it to him, but you could tell by the look on his face that it had a whole new meaning to him.

After everyone congratulated him, most of the Serpents disappeared to their own homes. A small few stayed, including Tallboy, who was going to give Jug his tattoo. Though you were tired, you decided to stay and watch your friend get branded by his new family. You promised you’d stick with him through the whole thing, and you never broke your promises. So, you, Sweet Pea, Fangs, Tallboy, Jughead, and Toni sat around Jughead’s trailer and watched the ink on Jug’s shoulder slowly form a double headed Serpent with their tongues sticking out, in the form of an S.

“So, Babydoll, you considered my offer any?” Tallboy asked, glancing up at you while wiping excess ink from Jughead’s arm.

“Uh, I don’t think I’d enjoy getting the shit beat out of me,” You replied, wincing at the thought.

“Girls don’t do the gauntlet,” Toni stated, taking a swig from her beer bottle. “They do the Serpent Dance.”

“What’s that?” You quizzed.

“Pole dance,” Sweet Pea replied casually.

You choked on your apple juice, face turning red. “You want me to pole dance!?”

“I said the same thing,” Toni nodded. Fangs chuckled, “And now, here you are. Stuck with us for life.”

“Um, I don’t think pole dancing is something I good at,” You remarked, shaking your head. You watched in awe as the needle deposited the ink into Jug’s skin. “I’ve always wanted a tattoo though,” You stated, more to yourself than to anyone else.

“Why haven’t you gotten one then?” Sweet Pea asked.

You scoffed. “My dad would have murdered me. But, my mom probably wouldn’t mind if I got one...” You trailed off before chuckling slightly. “Maybe I’ll join the Serpents just for the tattoo and cool jacket,” You joked. Sweet Pea chuckled, shaking his head at you.

But he couldn’t help but imagine what you’d look like with your own Serpent jacket on, on the back of his motorcycle.

Your next day a school was horrible. It stared out fine. Like any other day. Until, Mayor McCoy busted in with the cops following close behind.  Immediately, anyone wearing a Serpent jacket was rounded up and placed into handcuffs. Basically all of your friends. With all of them being gone, it made you a prime target for the wannabe Ghoulies, resulting in a nicely bruised eye.

You had been minding your own business in the hallway when some blond boy turned around the corner. You recognized him as being one of the non-initiated kids that hung around the Ghoulies. He was also one of the guys that had surrounded you on your first day. Apparently, giving you a black eye was enough for the Ghoulies to consider allowing him to be initiated. So you felt sorry for the kid when Travis and Donovan came after him in the locker room the next day. 

Thankfully, they couldn’t really keep any of the Serpents they arrested very long. So three days after their arrest, you got a text from Toni that she had sent one of the guys to bring you to he Whyte Wyrm. Unfortunately, she failed to mention it was Sweet Pea she sent. So when you forgot to cover up your eye with makeup, he immediately flew off the handle...both literally and figuratively.

The second he saw he glimpse of dark purple he shot off of his bike and over to you. “What the hell happened?” He demanded, tilting your head up to look at your eye.

“Nothing, Sweet Pea,” You sighed. “Can we just go?”

“We can go once you tell me who the hell did this,” He growled.

“Just a guy at school,” You mumbled, brushing past him and sitting on his motorcycle. “A guy!?” He shouted, leaning across he handlebars to look you in the eye.

“A guy hit you? When?” He demanded.

You sighed, “The day after you guys were hauled in. Can we go now?”

“No. Not until you tell me who it was.”

“Sweets, I promise you I’ll tell you about it later. Can we please just go to the Wyrm?” You begged, sliding back on the seat to give him room.

He stared at you for a few seconds before sighing. “Fine. But once we’re at school, you’re pointing out the son of a bitch that did this.”

You chuckled as he slid onto the seat in front of you. “I didn’t know you cared so much,” You teased, putting on the helmet he gave you.

He paused, looking back at you over his shoulder as you slid your arms around his waist. “A Serpent takes care of his own.”

“Mhm. Just admit I, I’m growing on you,” You teased, tightening your grip on his waist. Sweet Pea chuckled, “I plead the fifth.”

Despite being the one that waned you to come to the Wyrm in the first place, Toni spent a good hour or two in a deep conversation with Jughead and Sweet Pea while you played cards with Fangs.

“So how hard did SP grill you for the shiner?” Fangs quizzed, eying his hand of cards.

“I thought he was about to start foaming at he mouth,” You chuckled, glancing over to where he was arguing with Jug and Toni. “I wonder why he cares so much.” Fangs shrugged before glancing up at you.

“Have you ever thought about joining the Serpents?” Fangs asked.

“Yeah,” You replied, taking a sip of your soda. “But like Sweet Pea says, I’m not cut out to be in a gang.”

“It’s not like you have to be some born killer, you know. Being a Serpent isn’t like being in some cut-throat, money laundering mafia. It’s a family. You watch out for your own, and they watch out for you. You have each other’s back, and you always have a place to call home. Serpents always come through for each other, no mater what.”

You looked up at Fangs, coking your head to the side. “I guess I never thought of it that way...”

“So what do you say? Wanna join the family?

You opened your mouth, ready to accept or decline, when Sweet Pea, Toni, and Jughead joined you and Fangs.

“Hey, Babydoll. Juggy, Sweet Pea and I were just talking about something and we wanted your input,” Toni greeted, sliding into a chair beside you.

“What’s up?” You asked, setting your cards down face-down so Fangs couldn’t cheat.

“What do you think about joining the Serpents?” Jughead asked. “So that’s why Sweets looked about ready to knock you both out,” You hummed. “You still think I’m not cut out for the Serpents.”

“Pretty much,” Sweet Pea responded.

“Well, Fangs was just talking to me about it,” You started, playing with your straw.

“And?” Toni asked, eager to hear what you wanted to do.

“And...” You paused, looking up to meet Sweet Pea’s eyes. He gave a soft headshake. He looked really angry.

“What do I have to do?”

Sweet Pea was silent the entire ride back to your trailer. You dismounted the bike and turned to face Sweet Pea. Shutting off the engine, he crossed his arms and leaned back.

“Joining the Serpents? Really, Babydoll?” He asked, fixing you with a steely gaze. “Ouch. Babydoll, not Princess? I must have really pissed you off,” You chuckled nervously.

“I told you before. You are not joining the Serpents,” He commanded.

“That’s not your decision to make, Sweet Pea.” You rebuked, crossing your arms. He scowled, walking over to you. “You aren’t joining.”

“I can make my own decisions, Sweet Pea!”

“Not when your decision is to join the Serpents,” He growled. “You aren’t meant for the Serpents. They’re too dangerous.”

“You’re a Serpent yet you seem to be fine with me being around you. Stop being such a hypocritical asshole!” You snapped. Sweet Pea clenched his jaw, looking off to the side. “Fine. Don’t come whining to me when being a Serpent is too much to handle,” He snapped, stomping back to his bike.

"Sweets,” You sighed as he turned on the bike, revving the engine. You frowned, watching as he gave you one last sharp look before earing away from your house, tail lights disappearing into the dark night.

Great.

The Fence Chapter 3

Chapter 3 this is what V wore i forgot to put his uniform(https://www.polyvore.com/uniform/set?id=230768708) Wolf's P.O.V when we arrived at school everyone was looking at us like we were famous, we kinda are the most dangerous gang out there so... it's probably the car because we never drove here we always walked to school. we walked through our school gates and walked to our first class and we saw darcy walking down the hall and she walked past me and pushed my shoulder with hers causing whatever was in my hand to fall on the floor. *oohh i wanna kill her so bad.* i was walking through the hall and i saw some people putting up flyers saying the that the prom is coming up *oh great a prom (note the sarcasm)*. *time skip to after school* i went to find V, i saw him walking down the hall he was probably looking for me too i went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "hey where ya goin?" i asked him and he replied with "don't you mean where are WE going" before i could answer he grabbed my hand and ran towards the roof. when we got to the door we

walked up the stairs and when we got to the door to get on the roof i stopped and remembered that we were gonna go see jack. "i can't do this VV i-i can't" i told V " yes you can you promised me that you would talk to him and plus if anything happens i will be right in front of this door watching you so don;t worry i got you" he told me. " ok you better not leave or i will kill you" i told him " i won't as soon as we open that door i am going to stand right there sis" he told me "ok" and i opened the door. when i walked through the door i grabbed V's hand and walked but about a foot away from the day he stopped walking. V just nodded for me to go and i didn't want to go alone but i knew that if i didn't V would kill me. i was just walking towards the edge when someone tapped me on the shoulder and whipped around and saw him. "Jack..." i said "umm... hi?" he replied to me *sigh* "ok first and foremost i wanna say i am so sorry about what i did to you... please forgive me, i know that V already told you what happened and i don't wanna repeat because i know you get irritated when something is repeated all over again so please forgive me?"... "i-i don't know jack i mean how do i know if i can trust you again you turned me into a monster my life isn't how it used to be every full moon i have to be locked up and you how that feels? if you don't know the answer, it feels horrible because the next morning my body aches and i can barely move my fingers. i forgive you jack but it's gonna take a very long time for me to trust you again i-i'm sorry" i told him. "why are you sorry Sam you did absolutely nothing wrong, Thank you soooo much for forgiving me and i will try my best to get you trust me again" he said to me in a soft voice "nice talk i have to go now but i'm happy we had this talk jack see ya later" i said to him and i walked away. As i was walking away he yelled and said "WAIT!... umm.. there's a prom coming up i-uh i was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" "umm... i mean proms aren't really my thing but if seem to make me trust you a little bit then, maybe." i replied then finally walk towards the door smiling. "why are so happy hmm?" V asked me while we were walking down the stairs " oh, nothing i just, I don't know i don't wanna talk about VV" i told him and he looked at me weird and i just kept walking. we made it back to the school hallway it was empty and there was only me and V so we walked towards the exit and we walked home. when we got home i ran into my room and screamed out in happiness i just couldn't contain myself, the guy i used to hate with all my heart and soul has some how made feel mushy and i don't know why. V came into my room like 5 minutes after i screamed and said " ok sis tell me why you are so happy and tell me now, you are never like this what happened with the talk?" he said. "well he basically told me what you told me but shorter and i said that i forgive him but it's gonna take a while for me to trust him again and i'm happy because i got my best friend back" i told him in one breath. "oh and he asked me to prom" i told him one more think "WHAT!? are you going with him? i think you should I've always shipped you guys." he said "shut up i don't know if i even wanna go in general because you know i don't like proms." "well i'll come with you like 3rd wheel" he told me "i don't know VV i still don't trust him that much yet and plus i love wearing skirts but i don't like SUPER fancy dresses and you know that"i replied "ok ok but think about ok?" he said and i just replied with "ok i will" "goodnight Wolf" he said "goodnight VV" i replied and after that conversation we both fell asleep on my bed. *next morning* Still wolf's P.O.V i woke up before V as always i stood up and went downstairs it was Saturday so i'll let V sleep in today because we always wake up early and sleep late. i walked to the T.V room and was just binge watching on some shows when i heard V running down the stairs in his school uniform and he yelled at me "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND MOM AND DAD WILL KILL US IF WE"RE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" "VV" "WHAT" "it's Saturday bro" i said to him "oh... well i umm... will go back upstairs then" he replied and i just laughed. after about 3 hours of just binge watching on netflix i decided since me and v don't go shopping often then we should go shopping now. I ran up the stairs "VV GET DRESSED WE'RE GOING SOMEWHERE!!" i shouted while running up the stairs. "where the hell are we going sis" V asked me and i said "well if we're going to the prom that means we need to go shopping". v seems oddly off today i don't know why usually he's the one that drags ME out of bed and he LOVES shopping but not today today he seems off. we were driving to the mall and just listening to music it was only a 10 minute drive so it didn't take long to get to the mall. before we entered the mall doors i stopped and asked him " what's wrong VV? you're usually VERY excited when we go shopping" "don't worry about me i'm just tired lets go we gotta get you a dress for the prom, oh by the way what color do you want?" he said "umm... maybe red or just black or maybe both who knows?" i replied and before he could reply back i took his hand ran to the clothing stores and walked into one that looked like dresses were at least $2,000. after about an hour of being in this shop i picked out 4 dresses and V picked out some clothes too. were walking around the food court because we got hungry so we went to mcdonald of course. we were ordering our food when some one came up from behind me and and spilt their drink all over me and pushed me in the fountain we were standing next to "WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!" i yelled but the person just ran a way *what the fuck...* i turned around and V was LAUGHING! "why the hell are you laughing you didn't even defend me" i was so confused and shocked when i turned around it was darcey "really Taehyung after all we've been through i would've thought that you would at least help me out of this fountain but no, i look like an idiot and you're just laughing i'll just walk home so i can dry off and i won't get my car seats all sticky" i threw my car keys at him and started to walk out of the mall, i looked down in my hand which held the shopping bag and all of my dresses were soaked with red pinkish color * OH MY GOODDUH* i really just wanna cry right now. i was walking home with tears streaming down my face i didn't want to go home because i am mad at V i took my phone out of the bag which was not that wet so it still works the lord. i dialed jacks number and was waiting for him to pick up "hello" he answered finally "h-hi jack it's Sam i was wondering if you wanted to go out today just walk around Hongdae?" i asked him "oh yeah sure do you want me to pick you up i finally have a car hahaha" "umm.. sure pick me up in 20 minutes ok" i replied " will do see ya soon" "see ya soon" and i hung up the phone and began walking again. i finally made it home so i opened the door and saw V sitting on the couch so i quietly shut the door behind me and snuck upstairs *YES! he didn't hear me* "i know you're home Wolfie" i just ignored him and walked upstairs i took a shower and changed into this---> https://www.polyvore.com/shopping/set?id=230918610) i grabbed my phone and some cash that i stuff into my bra and ran downstairs. " where are you going wolf?" i just flipped him off and walked out the door. i know it seems like i'm being harsh on him but... he could've defended me but instead he was laughing and the most part i hate the most is that he didn't defend me from the person i hate most darcy. i waled out just in time when jack was outside with his truck it was nice i ran to the truck and got in without saying anything. while he was driving he asked "Why did you wanna come with me all of a sudden?" "i don't wanna talk about it can you just make me forget whatever happened today and let's have fun?" i replied " sure sure but i don't know what we're gonna do cause' you just called and i didn't have any plan on what to do" he said to me "ok then let's just wing it ok i have money i'm pretty sure you brought money too so let's just go and do anything ok?" i asked and he smiled and said "ok". we were driving and i was looking out the window while he was jamming out to music i was smiling to myself i think i am falling for him i don't know i think i was falling for him since the beginning but i was blinded by the "hate" in my mind because of what he did but i forgave him and that's over with. i just want to push these feelings aside and have fun without thinking that i have a hopeless crush on him.

Much ado about monkeys

I'm not late! Not in the slightest! hello! Hello there! Thousands? Really? So this isn't some kind of. Zoo fostering program. Nope. It's just a logical extension of the term 'furbaby' This is facial trauma waiting to happen. But... monkeys. I mean, they're not domesticated nah, nah, these little monkeys aren't the face rippers. They ARE The monkeys that can learn to steal and wield weapons tho ......This was supposed to be filler as we all filed in, but the full movie's available. It sounds like EXACTLY the kind of freakshow that's suitable for movie night! Perfect! Tomatoes will wait. They'll wait and they'll like it. You just can't compete with monkeys. I hope it tells us where they're even getting the monkeys.... well, THAT'S not a disturbing sentiment! From someone who cares whether monkeys live or die, no doubt. they're terribly cute but this entire thing is making Twilight Zone music play in my head. Right?

check DailyMotion One second. There's things to skip forward/back ten seconds Either side of the pause button in the middle whyyyy does every other line sound like it's out of the trailer of a horror movie Oh, yeah, it's very important to make sure your PET MONKEY's gender presentation is, uh, socially acceptable For their blankets and stuff Unicron forbid! Because they definitely understand and care about that But he does want an exotic animal to treat as a baby. !!! I mean. I like they're able to satisfy these feelings and are aware of their own limitations. I just. These are the types of monkeys that form monkey gangs in cities? JESUS This is healthy and fine. I mean, literally, there's an epidemic of monkey thieves banding together in some cities She laughs the laughter of the damned. ikr "to make her look more like my daughter" Oh, yeah, I can definitely see the resemblance I can't tell if self-deprecating or worrying ewwwwwwww she IS a monkey, though These monkeys uniformly look upset. they do not comprehend ANY LEVEL of this This certainly looks legitimate. What a depressing environment This is horrifying. HER SMILE IS HORRIFYING If this doesn't feature an attack at some point, I'm rioting. Why do they put them in clothes It's, definitely about making them look more like little people, right? They have fur! HEY! GUESS WHAT! MOST SMALLER MONKEYS ON:Y LIVE UP TO 25 YEARS At which point this charade comes to a merciful end! Well, one of them said her oldest kid was forty-something, so she must be sixty or so herself So it really could be for the rest of her life! could indeed--provided she lives out the maximum lifespan and nothing terrible happens "wow, I can't BELIEVE this restaurant won't let me bring my pet monkey" How dare those diners not want Ebola Reston? An animal psychic. He's eating plastic. I would say go to a vet but honestly I would not expect most vets to deal with exotics. not to mention, how the fuck do you EXPLAIN that you're raising a monkey like a human baby to a strange vet Oh, dear Unicron. ...I think the goy was actually an orang; they don't have tails Actually I have to wonder if they'd try taking them to a doctor-for-humans instead do you... do think doctors have procedure for that? I bet some do I don't like the way the narrator is encouraging this.' The narrator sounds disapproving to me so, the way this tone is set, it equally feels like it could be a horror movie or a feel good movie, so I feel there's going to be some horrible twist in the second half. Oh, yes, please. OH BOY I would give them the ticket just for that. I wonder if the camera crew had anything to do with it. Or if that was a recreation thing Right. Give it frosting. Did they take its teeth out? "six real children" yeah, the narrator knows it's a freakshow I feel like there were other ways to deal with that When Impact grows up and moves out, I know I plan to adopt a small, sentient wild animal and ruin its life. I can't help but think you're thinking about someone specific Be sure to take it to restaurants with you and tell everyone it's your kid, too! If they complain about the smell of organic waste, I'll sue. Ewwwww. I'm trying to settle on which is the most disturbing. whyyyy does she sound so unhinged Was this the last letter she sent before she changed her name and started blocking her calls? Oh, well, then! Amazing. "The plan is to load her up on sedatives and nail her feet to the cage." THIS SEEMS DANGEROUSLY UNREGULATED "it also brings her into contact with children" oh, good! know sometimes they'll take their teeth out and I'm 90% sure that's what's happened here. Jeez, that's depressing ewwwwww That's a joke, right? ...Oh god, it's not a joke But they... aren't training her for that? She's *diaper clad.* I demand a monkey attack! They were very vague about the will. Betcha it says "EVERYTHING TO THE MONKEY" They foreshadowed monkey attacks but did not deliver. Ha! This is fine. To the pit with it, I'm playing the other documentary. I've tasted blood and I *need* more. This is a beautiful train wreck and I can't look away. Oh, here we go! WELP Much better! "companion for life" Okay, phrasing Oh my god Ohhh my god. can't afford a monkey baby Haha, no red flags here! "THIS IS FINE" Somebody call CPS By the Allspark, this is amazing. I love Earth so much. Jesus. It's not just humans who pull this shit either, other animals from other species are on record who prefer to raise other species to their own. A LION of all things kept adopting gazelles. Sounds normal and fine for all parties! OH, no :< "they're basically like infants! infants that can climb and that like to bite and claw and that will freak out about your relationships, and that you will never ever be able to fully communicate with" At least these are outside. yeah, THAT'S what's bothering the monkey about this, being teased. I hope these two end up maimed. See that KINDA makes it sound like.... I mean...... His real family's back in that cage. ..... His...has to... Abandoning "Gilded Earth" was a mistake. Callus. HOrror movie violins There's a case of Hepatitis lurking somewhere in this scene. "yet" "oh, yeah, I figure he's gonna maul me someday" Gotta feel sorry for these kids That's a tiny cage, too Jesus This keeps getting worse. ... "In other words, not goddamn cheetos" The vet's face. Everything about this is awful. Really. I mean, is it really. And I don't even like monkeys. The outpost roof doesn't like monkeys. "no matter what I do to them" jesus goddamnit This is a nightmare. Jesus this almost sounds like an ABYSMAL waste of time and money! You think?! Breakdown's asking what I'm laughing at. Show him! Now he's laughing. Oh, sure, don't listen to the vet, who told you explicitly to stop feeding her people food all the time! Just PRAY. Of course you won't, Spaghetti. This is going to end with at least one dead monkey, isn't it? The vet: "okay, just don't feed her pasta" 2 hrs later: SPAGHETTI TIME And ranch! the MONKEY COMMUNITY is UNDER THREAT. what a TRAGEDY I KNOW right? "it's OUR choice to endanger our children by keeping wild animals" "We need to protect our deity given right to kill as many monkeys as we want!" Sealand. Oh, please, please do this. I beg you. Alright, I know what we're closing out on. Oh my god oh, wait, Ihave one more, lemme see if it's on youtube Hahhahahaha Ewwwwww okay,youtube search, malcolm in the middle monkey jesus first clip at the top god Her face it gets better ....... HAH! God WELL God I do believe you demanded monkey attacks, earlier This is everything I dreamed of and more. Well, this was glorious. That was a wild ride And thank you both for joining me on it! Thank YOU for hosting! how could miss that dumpster fire *how could we It was a dumpster fire to be treasured. Good night! Goodnight! good night!
