"just as I did, in 1983."
you'd never know my favourite parts of the show are the fucked up insane bits when my first instinct is to draw the cheesiest thing imaginable
#my art#interview with the vampire#iwtv amc#iwtv#armand iwtv#daniel molloy#armand#armandaniel#devils minion#drew this before the finale but idk maybe this is during the unspecified amount of time between armands divorce and daniels press tour#the titian painting doesnt fit at ALL with the timeline btw#i THOUGHT it did bc i assumed 1508 was when armand was turned into a vampire BUT upon reflection thats more likely the year he was born#and even then the painting was made in like 1510 so fuck me i guess. also im foggy on when armand was taken to rome#idk man i havent read the books and i failed art history on two separate occasions i cannot endeavor for accuracy#anyway as much as i love 70s/80s devils minion i have equal love for old man daniel#his cynicism has been tempered by time... refined like a diamond... he dont gaf and bullies his loser vampire and its hilarious#like ''sure yeah fine all these old italian renaissance guys saw ur ethereal otherworldly beauty but literally anybody can see that''#''IM the only mf who gets to experience the incandescent joy of seeing you be a messy idiot''#sidenote trying to make armand look unflattering is impossible u can blame the show for casting the worlds most beautiful man

daniel was so enthralled and delighted seeing louis' fangs, was fascinated with the knowledge that armand can read minds, that it stands to reason he would go balls to the wall insane to find out armand can fly. in the 70s he'd ask armand to do it all the time and armand would always do it so daniel would cheer for him and get all excited again. so in dubai in 2022 when armand is revealing himself as the ancient vampire and not the servant boy, i like to think he was like "well, there's one surefire way to make sure this reveal makes daniel's eyes bug out and makes him freak out and go crazy and realize how cool and hot and powerful i am." and then he just. starts fucking flying
#iwtv#devil's minion#armandaniel#headcanon i just came up with my mind. i'm feeling craaazyyyyyyy#just wrote it into my wip as well but i felt like it deserved a meta post also#because i do believe all of armands actions in dubai at the end of the day are in service of getting daniel to fuck him.#it's like. we know vampires can fly. we saw lestat do it 2 episodes ago.#the fact that there's a vampire flying isn't new knowledge. but i like to think that daniel was like#WOAG. THIS GUY I WANT TO FUCK IS FLOATING IN MIDAIR!#like the fact that he gets a book of theatre de vampires archives and throws it down is so nothing. we dont careeeeee#but daniel DOES care that his beautiful vampire lover who he doesnt remember is showing off for him. god im sick

just having a normal one thinking about how badly Armand wants to be loved but every time he gets close to it, he self sabotages and ruins it. almost as if. he subconsciously doesn't think he deserves it.
#I'm fine I'm good I'm so normal about him#he does it with EVERY romantic relationship we see him have it's insane#first with lestat and their whole Thing. especially the nicki stuff we haven't seen yet.#then louis. like he lets himself have it and then realizes it's possible for it to work and IMMEDIATELY blows it#by you know. trying to kill him. actually succeeding in killing his daughter.#making sure there's no possible way louis will ever forgive him even as he plots and manipulates to underplay his role in it#they loved each other but armand made sure it would never be in the way he craved the most and then punished himself for it#by strong manning the relationship together with hot glue and stickers even if it was hurting them both#AND THEN with daniel too ffs#DOUBLE of it with daniel if past-devil minion happened too fuck#turning him and then leaving him bc daniel SEES him for who he is and he's not afraid (I mean he is but YOU GET WHAT I MEAN)#possibly erasing his memories of him from the 70's & 80's as both a fucked up attempt to keep daniel alive#(which tbf it works but is STILL a fucked up thing to do)#and to get himself out of a situation in which someone finally started to love him unconditionally the way he wants so badly#but he can't let himself have that can he#I AM SO NORMAL ABOUT THE VAMPIRE ARMAND GUYS#I might be wrong idk I have yet to rewatch s2 but#BUT IT HURTS ANYWAY DONT IT#iwtv#armand#iwtv amc#the vampire armand#interview with the vampire#iwtv s2#armandposting#robin going insane about armand again#iwtv armand

so excited by this!!
#this is like the sr equivalent of the fatui funeral trailer. like bitching cool look at villains with lotsa monologueing#the stellaron hunters have always been too ''clearly doing the right thing'' to be our fatui but these guys seem like they suck <3<3<3#the big hat lady (Constance) is so. uh. hahah. whew#hoyo finally made a woman i'm like instantly attracted to i genuinely thought they couldn't do it#shes beautiful. shes evil. shes got a devil tail. she isn't dressed like a party city sexy catgirl or whatever. shes tasteful!! very hot#(and shes got those ff dragon girl horns god. preinstalled handles)#everyone else is genuinely cool as well. duke inferno is obvious just the coolest.#the punk rock girlie with the chains is pretty just not my type in particular#the puppet girl!! like. shes tempting me i just love the huge ghost driving a little puppet thing its awesome#Akash(the guy)... i will need to see more of.#like. if they'd released him earlier i might've been more excited but.#his clothes look a lot like atventurine and gallaghers. i though he WAS gallagher when i first watched it#(i didn't spell ANY of those names right but i don't feel like fixing it)#and like. his bit. his gimmick if you will is... he's got a cello? he hasn't really shown his charms point yet#like everyone else is a demon a punkrock lady in chains a giant fucking ghost driving a cute little puppet a guy on fire#and he's a guy in shades. with a cello. he's not quite serving at everyone else's level yet.#i willl say his outfit has a lot of bat themeing. like on the gloves and the cape parts look like bat wings. so maybe he'll be a vampire!#i can't resist a guy covered in blood so. if he feels like taking advantage of that weakness of mine i wouldn't complain.#game: honkai sr#post: misc

@iamanoccasionaldoodler
Okay so,
There seems to be this negative reaction to the finale from a lot of Devil's Minion fans and I don't understand it for a lot of reasons, but one of them is ... I don't get why people are upset that, when read at it's worst, Armand and Daniel are seemingly not on good terms after Daniel is turned. I keep seeing this belief that Armand "abandoned" him, which I think is fully pulled from y'alls collective ass, and a disappointment that Daniel would call Armand a "fucking asshole."
But the thing about Armand/Daniel everyone seems to be forgetting is that even in the source material, they first had to tear each other down to their bare bones before they could see each other well enough to love one another -- REALLY love one another. Because Armand is a russian nesting doll of lies, masks, and emotional walls, and with Daniel, idek if I can explain it properly, but I think its some combination of Armand needing to break him a bit to get him on his level of broken freakitude, and also Armand not being able to relate to the 20th Century Human period and needing to drill down into Daniel's core, straight down into the monkey brain that every homo sapien has shared for eons, before he can find something he understands.
If we were to ever get a proper Devil's Minion storyline on this show (and we will), they've laid the perfect groundwork by having Daniel EVISCERATE Armand right to his face, slicing his Gorgon's knot of lies and schemes in half and leaving it lay on that table. And Armand's face! HIS FACE! He can't believe it! Seventy-seven years with Louis who never could unravel all the strings, or simply didn't care to even bother. And THIS guy who seemingly hates him found Armand fascinating enough to try. AND succeed!
And why wouldn't he? Daniel may not have remembered until they were nearing the end of the interview, but Armand SHOWED Daniel what was beneath the mask years ago, the very first time they met. The jealous, insecure, desperate creature that was hiding under there, that IS Armand to Daniel.
I'm getting off track here, but what I'm trying to say is that as much as Armand turning Daniel in the books is SUCH a flawless scene, ultimately, if you believe in the infinite and eternal nature of their love story, it doesn't matter whether Armand turned Daniel before they fell for each other, afterward, during a break-up or at the climax of their most romantic streak. Like Lestat said, "We'll be together ten thousand nights, a hundred thousand. What we're doing is hard."
So maybe Armand turned Daniel shortly after Daniel stripped him bare in front of Louis, and Louis was so disgusted by what he saw, he threw him into a stone wall. Daniel could have run, too. For some reason, he didnt. Armand could have killed him in an instant, sitting at that table or after Louis left. He didn't. Armand made a conscious decision to tie himself to this man who just exposed him for ETERNITY. Because as horrific an experience as it was, as devastating and life-altering, he was seen.
"It is difficult to explain how his words disarmed me, how efficiently succinct and impenetrable his argument was. All my conceptions, even my guilt and my wish to die, seemed utterly unimportant, and I completely forgot myself and the barbaric scene that surrounded me. For the first time in my life, I was seen."
Louis said those words about Lestat as he described being made a vampire, when he kissed Lestat on the altar.
That feeling, of someone cutting to the core of you and telling you exactly what you are as no one else has ever been able to understand, made Louis accept the Dark Gift from Lestat.
And it made Armand give that Gift to Daniel.

AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES (halloween fic)
lando norris x f!reader
word count: 1.8k
prompt(s): “You okay? Your face is red.” “Yeah, I mean, yes. Totally, it’s just the weather.” & "Oh my god, your room is so dirty. How do you live here?" "If you're so bothered by it, clean it up." "Fuck off. I'm not your servant." "You act like one." "I. Said. Fuck. Off."
warnings: slightly creepy guy calls the reader a wh*re, minor violence/blood (just a bar fight), the rest is pretty fluffy
a/n: posting my 'once in every 3 years' post, happy halloween for the lando girlies! I haven't proofread this, so sorry for any mistakes
"Have you seen my black T-shirt, I'm sure it was here. I swear I saw it here," you heard Lando’s voice call out from across your shared flat.
"Oh, the one that looked like a rag? Yeah, I threw it away," you replied as you continued drying off your dishes.
“What!” you heard Lando shriek. "You little shit, come here!" You snickered as an angry, shirtless, Lando stormed into your kitchen.
“Clam down Norris, I didn’t touch any of your shit I have no idea where your goddamn T-shirt is,” you laughed at the Brit’s unamused face as you put away the last of the dishes. “Come on, I’ll help you look for it,” you said, though you did not expect what you found when you reached Lando’s room. Rarely did you ever come into each other’s room; so you hadn’t seen it’s inside it a while. Clothes were strewn about on every flat surface, cups and plates you’d been missing for weeks scattered about and his bedsheets practically on the floor. No wonder he couldn’t find his stupid t-shirt.
"Oh my god, your room is so messy. How do you live here?" you laughed, your roommate glowering further at you. Clearly, he did not find you as funny as you found yourself.
"If you're so bothered by it, clean it up."
"Fuck off. I'm not your servant."
"Well, you act like one, darling," now a teasing smile curling his lips.
“Then you can find your shirt on your own, Norris,” you said, giving him a bitter smile before exiting his room. You knew damn well there was no way you would've been able to find anything in his mess of a room. Anyways, you had to start getting ready too, since you were soon to be on your way to a Halloween party. Your costume was quite simple, just a regular red mini-dress and some devil horns on a headband, so it didn’t take you very long once you’d gotten your makeup down.
“Come on Norris we’re gonna be late!” You called out, checking your phone for the time. In truth, you were already late, but you were about to be later than was acceptable if Lando didn’t come down soon. Luckily, you didn’t have to wait long. Unluckily, however, it seemed that Lando had gone absolutely insane and dumped a gallon of glitter on his skin.
“Is that your costume?” You asked. Lando looked down at himself and nodded proudly, glitter falling off at the movement. “I thought you were being a vampire..?”
“I am,” Lando replied, a permanent proud and shit-eating grin on his face. “You know, like the ones from Twilight.”
“You’re going to embarrass me,” you said in exasperation.
“I know, that’s the point, love,” Lando replied smugly. “Let’s go now, you don’t want to be late, do you?”
You rolled your eyes and followed him out.
———
Lando watched from the bar as you stumbled off the dance floor and looked around, a bright, dazed smile tugging at your lips when you spotted him. Jesus christ you were beautiful. Not that you weren’t always beautiful, Lando knew you were, but there were moments where you seemed more than beautiful. Moments like this one, where you headed toward him, the glistening of your skin reflecting the club lights, looking at him expectantly as you awaited his answer.
“What?” Lando said, breaking out of his stupor and nearly blushing at how he’d completely missed your question. You laughed at his confusion, before leaning closer. Lando’s heart skipped a beat, and for an imperceptible moment, he thought you were going to kiss him. But of course, the moment passed as you leaned into his ear, repeating your unanswered question more clearly.
“Why aren’t you having fun?” you asked smoothly, revealing a faux pout as you drew back. Lando let out a chuckle.
“I am having fun, love,” he replies.
“No, you’re standing here watching the rest of us have fun,” you replied, matter-of-factly. “Come oooonnn, Norris, come dance with me.” Lando stared into your puppy-dog eyes, ready to give in and come make a fool of himself on the dance floor for you, before he was cut off by an unknown, and unwelcome voice.
“Forget him, I’ll dance with you,” the voice said, its owner getting far too touchy with you for Lando’s liking.
“Uhm, no thank you,” you answered, all your previous mirth dissipating into discomfort.
“Come on babe, I promise, I’m fun,” the evidently drunk man repeated,
“I’m alright, thanks,” you said, refusing once more. The man didn’t reply this time, instead choosing to grab your wrist in order to lead you toward the floor.
“She said no, mate,” Lando cut in dryly. The man turned toward Lando, anger simmering beneath his stare.
“Look, you can drop the act mate, I’ve seen her whoring around all night, I know that’s not your girl. She’s free game,” he slurred.
“What did you just call her?” Lando spat. The guy laughed at what Lando could only assume the man thought was an empty threat. However, Lando didn’t give him a chance to retaliate.
“Lando!” you exclaimed as both men went down. The next moments were a blur of fists and bloodied faces, until Lando was suddenly pulled off the man by a security guard. He turned to see you looking all at once scared, worried, relieved and angry. Lando looked back down at the drunk guy, and he couldn’t help the self-satisfied smirk at the state he’d left him in, even as the security guard escorted him out of the bar.
———
“Are you mad at me?” Lando broke the heavy silence as you walked into your flat. You sighed deeply, turning around to face him for the first time since you’d been kicked out of the bar.
“Of course not, just… promise you won’t do anything like that ever again. I mean, I know you’re an idiot, but that was even more stupid than usual,” you joked, hoping to lighten the mood, but Lando still stared at you, uncharacteristically unreadable.
“I can’t promise that, I would do it again if I had to.”
You stared at him intently, searching for any sign of Lando’s usual playfulness, but you only found earnest eyes and a clenched jaw. You averted your gaze, not knowing what to do with this uncharacteristic behaviour. Instead, you turned toward the bathroom, hearing Lando’s shuffling feet as he trailed after you. Rummaging through a drawer, you pulled out a first aid kit and turned back toward Lando to find him almost comically standing awkwardly in the doorway.
“Sit,” you said more harshly than you intended, gesturing toward the ledge of the bathtub. Lando heeded your command, silently taking a spot where you’d directed him. After wiping off the remainder of his face paint and glitter, you began by cleaning up the cut on Lando’s nose, soaking a towel with cold water and dabbing it at the cut. Lando flinched and hissed at the contact.
“Don’t be a baby,” you chided with a chuckle, though there was no malice in it.
“I am not a baby,” Lando scoffed with a small smile. After cleaning and patching up the cut on his nose, you moved on to his split lip, hesitating a moment before bringing the towel to it. Lando’s breath hitched almost imperceptibly at the contact, but he didn’t wince this time. You focused on intently cleaning the wound, and once you were done, you set aside the towel. You turned back toward Lando to find his face tinged a bright red.
“Are you okay? Your face just got all red?” you inquired, looking him over for any sign of an injury you might have missed.
“Yeah, I mean, yes. Totally. It’s the, uhm, weather,” Lando replied, his voice breaking on the first word. You looked at him, deadpan.
“We’ve been inside for a solid ten minutes, Norris,” you stated.
“Well, y’know what I mean, it’s like, warm in here or something,” he rectified, his face somehow flushing further. A small smirk formed on your lips.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were flustered, Norris,” you teased as you finished cleaning up the small cut.
“What? Flustered? By you?” He replied, his voice an octave higher and cadence a tad faster than usual, only proving your point further. You disposed of the gauze, turning back toward him and cupping his face in your hands. You smirked and raised an eyebrow at his widening eyes and ever-flushed face. “Okay, okay, maybe I am,” he admitted.
“And what are you gonna do about it?” You taunted him. Lando’s eyes searched your face for any sign of humour, but found only sincerity. With that, he leaned in, closing the remaining distance between the two of you. The kiss was slow and purposeful, free of any of the teasing which usually permeated all your interactions. This was something else, communicating a kind of sincerity your words could hardly convey.
“Thank you,” you added after parting from the kiss.
“What? For kissing you?” Lando answered with a chuckle. “‘Cause I can do it again.”
“For sticking up for me. It was dangerous and reckless and please don’t do it again. But thank you, still. I appreciate it.”
“Well, like I said, I would do it again. That fucker had it coming, messing with my girl.” He replied, brushing the pad of his thumb on your cheek.
“Your girl, huh?” You echoed teasingly.
“If she wants to be, that is?” Lando replied. You hummed, contemplating.
“If he takes me on a date, I might consider it,” you settled on, turning to exit the bathroom, though you didn’t miss Lando’s hushed, dragged out yes, and you giggled as you imagined him pumping his fist. He followed you out, and you both settled on the couch, seemingly in agreement to watch a movie. You tossed Lando the remote.
“Your turn to pick,” you said, as you had picked the movie last time. After a moment, Lando settled on a movie and pressed play. “A horror movie?” You inquired. “You’re terrified of those.”
“Am not!” Lando replied petulantly.
“Yes, you are,” you laughed, doubling over as the first jumpscare of the movie made Lando jump in his place. He couldn’t help but smile at seeing you laugh, even if it was at his expense. In fact, he would gladly make an idiot out of himself every day if it meant making you laugh like that. And maybe Lando really was terrified of horror movies, but maybe he’d also purposely picked a horror movie so he’d have an excuse to his his face on your shoulder, and maybe, just maybe, you were glad he’d picked a horror movie because you too, wanted and excuse to keep him close tonight.

“Daniel molloy is like Bella swan” WRONG BUZZER SOUND, daniel molloy is like the narrator of in my room by icp if anything. he is so crazy guys I can’t overstate this he is an actively manic alcoholic in his mid 30s who is quite literally addicted to his eternally 17 yr old vampire bfs blood. He gets off on how his boyfriend looks like a corpse when he fucks him, he calls him a predatory insect *with sexual intent*, when Armand’s cheeks flush he gets hard not because he thinks he looks cute but bcus he’s reminded of how he killed someone to get blood in his body and that turns him on. he could never be Bella swan 😭!! I’m sorry. Never think for a moment that Daniel is not matching if not occasionally out doing Armand’s freak. An average devils minion argument would be armand telling him as he hiccups on his sobs that Daniel doesn’t know what he’s asking of him when he begs to be a vampire and that life as a vampire is a hell that he would never wish on his beloved boy and Daniel goes “stfu u asshole son of a bitch idgaf if u think murdering to live is a monstrous existence frankly the idea of it gets me hard and I would rather choke on ur dick until I die then never get to experience it”
#Not to say Bella swan isn’t crazy just that she isn’t Daniel molloy level crazy#Tvc#armand#vampire chronicles#vc#Devils minion#the vampire chronicles#the devils minion#queen of the damned#armand x daniel#daniel x armand#armanddaniel#Iwtv#inteview with the vampire

Klaus Mikaelson x Soulmate!Reader x Elijah Mikaelson Pt. 15
Word Count- 5.8k
Warnings- Swearing, violence, talks of bad mental health, mommy issues, robbing???
“Alastair talk to me, please! What is going on,” Tears roll down my face as Alastair speeds down the dark back roads of Mystic Falls.
“I’m not supposed to talk to you about it,” Alastair’s gruff words escape his mouth and I look at him in confusion and anger.
“What the fuck do you mean you can’t talk to me about it? What is it? Because all I know is that my supposed friend somehow knows Klaus. The big bad wolf Klaus!”
My breathing is shallow and harsh as I look at my friend. Or not friend. I guess. Alastair’s hands grip the leather steering wheel, and I watch as he grinds his teeth together so hard that I almost believe his teeth will fall out if he does open his mouth.
“I. Can’t. Tell. You.”
Alastair’s words don’t stop the tears still streaming down my face.
“What can you tell me then, huh? Was all of it a lie? Our friendship? Everything I confided in you about? Everything you told me about yourself? Huh,” My voice gets louder with every question, “Was all of it some stupid fucking lie, Alastair! Some sick fucked up way of Klaus getting into my head! I never did anything to the guy! So why me?!”
I jeer forward as the car comes to a screeching halt, “I said I can’t tell you! For fucks sake!”
I’m frozen in fear as I look at the black veins under Alastair’s eyes. Eyes that are now looking directly at me. Oh god.
“You’re a…”
“Vampire.”
—
BEEP BEEP
“What the hell,” I groan as I throw my hands over my ears to hide myself away from the stupid phone alarm.
“Sorry,” Elena’s voice comes from beside me on the bed as I feel her move around. The buzzing continues for a moment before a click of Elena’s finger stops it.
“What time is it,” My morning voice comes out harsh.
“Five,” Elena’s sheepish voice responds and I let out a loud groan.
“Elena, what the hell. Go back to sleep. We don’t have to be up for school for another 2 hours,” I try to reason with my friend but she’s already standing up.
“I can’t. Ric and I are sparring today. He’s going to teach me how to defend myself. Remember? I offered for you to join.”
I roll back over onto one of Elena’s spare pillows and close my eyes.
“Sleep. I need sleep.”
—
“You’re a… what do you mean you’re a vampire! You can’t be, you’re a bartender,” My voice is shaky as small sobs escape my mouth. Alastair watches me as I try to lean as far away from him as I possibly can in the tiny sports car.
“I didn’t realize I had to be one or the other,” His dry voice makes a nasty laugh escape me.
“You’re one of his aren’t you,” I bite at the reference to the devil himself.
“I’m not his. But…” Alastair's eyes narrow as he rubs a hand over his face, “I’m loyal to him. You don’t understand Y/N.”
“Then help me understand Alastair! Because right now all I know is that you’ve lied to me this entire summer!”
“Just like you’ve lied to me about all your friends being supernatural,” Alastair responds accusingly, and clench my fists.
“That is not the same and you know it. I thought you were human! I was protecting you!”
“And I’m protecting you!”
I flinch back as Alastair yells and raises his hands in exhaustion.
“Protecting me from what? And what does Klaus have to do with it?”
Alastair looks at me once more and then turns his attention to his hands. I shake my head in annoyance, “You can’t tell me,” I say copying his words from before.
“Take me to Elena’s.”
“Klaus said to-”
“Does it look like I give a flying fuck what Klaus, AKA Satan Incarnate, wants! Just take me to Elena’s,” A sob escapes my mouth and for a moment I think Alastair is going to continue driving me to my house but with a deep sigh he puts the car into drive and does a U-turn in the middle of the street back towards the Gilbert residence.
We drive in silence for the next 10 minutes. The only thing being heard in the car is the sounds of my sniffles.
Thankfully we reach the driveway and before Alastair can even put the car into park, I’m unbuckling my seatbelt and throwing myself out of the car.
“Y/N! Wait,” Alastair’s voice calls from behind me as I quickly climb the stairs.
I jump back slightly as the porch light turns on and the front door opens to Jenna standing there in her fluffy purple robe. She’s standing defensibly as she holds a bat but as soon as she sees it’s me she drops it.
“Y/n? What’s wrong,” Jenna asks me in a mother-like tone.
“Y/n, would you just wait for a second,” Alastair's voice gets closer.
“Leave me alone!”
Jenna seems confused as to why Alastair and I are fighting. Probably because we’ve been attached at the hip all summer. But that doesn’t stop her from opening up the door and letting me run into her arms.
“Jenn, what’s going on,” Ric comes down the stairs hastily. At the sight of my tear-stained face, his hunter's instinct seems to kick in as he rushes over to both myself and his girlfriend.
“Go away, Alastair,” I turn one last time to the almost upset-looking man standing on the porch.
Ric pushes both Jenna and I behind him as he stares down Alastair.
“I think it’s best if you leave now,” Ric and Alastair stare each other down for a moment before Alastair looks around at me.
“I’ll see you soon.”
—-
“Y/n,” I feel a shove to my shoulder and I press my face harder into the soft duvet, “Y/n! Wake up we’re going to be late!”
“Late for what mom,” I groan into my pillow and I hear Elena’s laugh from above me.
“For the first day of Senior year. You know if we’re not there on time Caroline will march herself over here,” At the mention of the blonde I instantly sit up straight. So fast in fact, that Elena quickly takes a step back so we don’t hit heads.
“Weren’t you going to go fight with Ric or something,” I say as I rub the sleep from my eyes and watch my friend put her books into her backpack.
“I already did,” She laughs to herself, “You’ve been sleeping the entire time. Now get up and get dressed. Jenna made pancakes and Jeremy and Theo are going to eat them all if we don’t get down there.”
I sigh deeply as I throw my legs over Elena’s bed, the one I’ve been sleeping in for the past three days since Alastair dropped me off here.
“I think our brothers are dating,” I jokingly say out loud and Elena stops for a moment and thinks to herself before nodding along with me.
“Ya, you’re probably right. Should we tell Bonnie,” I roll my eyes at my friend’s question and put my feet into the bunny slippers Jenna bought for me yesterday.
“I think she already knows,” I stand up and walk past her to the small duffle bag that’s comprised of everything I’d need for my week-long sleepover at the Gilbert’s. I head into the bathroom and start changing and getting ready for the day.
“You really don’t mind me staying here,” I yell loud enough so Elena can hear me through the door.
“Of course not,” She responds earnestly, “Besides, you’re not the only one who needs the company.”
At her response, I sigh deeply and then look at myself in the bathroom mirror. I’d be repulsed and surprised by my appearance if I hadn’t already been like this for the past three days. Dark circles take up half my face, a face that looks like it hasn’t seen the sun in twenty years and I think I’ve started to lose weight, hence the hollowness of my cheeks. It’s been hard to sleep or eat these past few days because every second I’m picturing the dark veins under Alastair’s eyes, the sounds of Dana and Chad dying, and the victorious smirk on Klaus’ face. The latter who we’ve thankfully not heard anything about since that night at the school.
“Y/n! You ready?”
I try to dab some concealer and blush onto my face but alas I still look like a dead person. Ironically kind of like half the population of Mystic Falls since Klaus came to town.
“Ya, let’s do this,” I open the door and try to smile at my best friend.
—
“Here we are. Senior year,” Caroline says breathlessly as she, Bonnie, Elena, and I stand in the parking lot of the school.
“Yippee,” I say under my breath sarcastically and I hear Elena laugh.
“Anyone else think this should feel slightly more empowering,” Bonnie asks and I have to fight back a yawn.
Caroline throws her hands up as none of us say anything, “Okay, so prank night was a bust but we are accepting it and we are moving on.”
“Dana and Chad can’t move on,” I bite and then quickly cringe when I realize how nasty that came out.
“Sorry,” I wince and Caroline sighs and places a hand on my shoulder.
“I know. And what happened was horrible, but we need to try to push past it,” She smiles at me but I can’t seem to find the strength to return it. How are we just supposed to push past the fact that two innocent teenagers were ruthlessly murdered?
“You’re right,” Bonnie tries to lighten the mood as we start walking towards the school, “I mean, why should I let the fact that my boyfriend is seeing the ghost of his dead girlfriends hinder this experience?”
“And the fact he’s dating my brother,” I say under my breath and Bonnie shoots me a confused look.
Caroline looks at me oddly before shaking her head, “Anyways…Yes, and why should I let the fact that my boyfriend was turned into a hybrid put a damper on an otherwise fabulous day.”
“Sure, and why should I let the fact that my friend ended up being a henchman of the devil himself, who for some reason likes to terrorize me,” I sarcastically say out loud and Bonnie and Caroline both cringe at the mention of Alastair. Two days ago they came over to the Gilbert’s and I filled them in on everything.
“Today’s our anniversary,” Elena’s voice makes Caroline, Bonnie, and I halt, “Technically, Stefan and I met on the first day of school last year.”
“Yeah, you win,” Caroline says and I fight the urge to roll my eyes because an anniversary doesn’t really seem to be the worst thing that’s happened so far, but whatever.
“Can’t we just go home? Come back tomorrow. Or just drop out,” I try to reason but Elena grabs my shoulder and shakes her head.
“Nope. We’re doing this. We’re putting it behind us and becoming new people. New year. New life.”
I raise an eyebrow at my friend’s sappy words, “Ya. Okay. I guess.”
—
“Theo says he doesn't have a pencil. So I’m going to go meet him and then I’ll see you guys in class,” I tell Elena who shoots me an odd look.
“Doesn’t have a pencil? It’s the first day of school.”
I just shrug. Not really surprised at my brother’s lack of planning, “He does this. I’ll see you soon,” I wave to her and walk towards the cafeteria where I’m expected to meet my brother.
Right as I turn a corner though I’m knocked into a hard chest.
“Ouch, I’m so sor-”
My words stop as I look up to the person I bumped into and freeze when I meet Alastair’s deep brown eyes. Compared to me, Alastair looks as pristine and gorgeous as ever. But I guess when you’re an immortal being, eyebags aren’t something you really have to worry about. He’s a dark black top that I’m sure is designer and brand new-looking lacks and loafers.
“Y/n, good morning,” Alastair says in a soft voice as if we’re the best of friends still.
“What the hell are you doing here,” I growl at him and Alastair shoots me a confused look.
“I’m a student here, remember?”
I shake my head in annoyance, “You’re also a vampire,” I whisper-yell out the word so passersby don’t think I’m crazy, “You don’t go to school.”
“Stefan, Caroline and now Tyler do. So why can’t I,” He asks and I open and close my mouth about a hundred time trying to find an answer.
“That’s not the same!”
Alastair smirks, “And why isn’t”
I raise my hands trying to find a reason and practically growl when I can’t think of one, “How old are you anyway? I bet you’re old. Why would someone old want to come to high school? It’s not like the movies, where everyone breaks out into song and dance. It actually fucking sucks! So just do everyone a favor and leave!”
I look around to see that some people have started watching us because of my little outburst. At the onslaught of eyes, my hands start to shake and I bite down hard on my lower lip.
“What the hell are you staring at,” Alastair’s once calm voice darkens as he growls out to the students. The latter quickly move on at the harsh look and words.
Alastair looks back at me and his harsh look returns to a calm one so fast I think it’s going to give me whiplash.
“I’m here for you,” He says matter-of-factly, “And to answer your other question I’m 645 years old.”
I blink. And blink. And then blink again.
“You’re…”
Alastair smiles at me, “Old. Ya.”
“Y/N! Bless your kind and spirited heart for blessing me on this wonderful Monday morning,” Theo’s overdramatic voice pulls me from my stupor as I’m being slightly pulled back by my bag.
I turn over my shoulder and see Theo unzipping and then going through my backpack.
“You got any drugs in here,” His question makes me shoot him a glare and he laughs.
“Joking! Kinda. Anyways, I have football practice after school so don’t wait up for me,” He finally pulls out a handful of pencils and I realize I’m definitely going to have to stock up since I know he’s going to lose them all by next week.
“Oh hey, Alex,” Theo waves to Alastair and then puts a hand on my head, and then pats me like a dog.
“Bye, my favorite nerd.”
I watch annoyed as my little brother practically skips down the hall, shooting fist bumps at other guys and winking at passing girls.
“He does know my name isn’t Alex right,” Alastair questions and I laugh.
“I don’t think he cares,” I turn around and am about to smile along with him but instantly stop when I remember that we’re not actually friends. At least not anymore.
“Just leave me alone, Alastair. I don’t want you here,” I walk past him and make my way down the hall towards Alaric’s classroom. Sadly though I hear Alastair’s expensive shoes behind me.
“You have Ric’s class? Great! So don’t I,” He says as he easily catches up to me and walks beside me until we get to the classroom.
As soon as we enter Ric shoots me a nervous look and I shrug, not really knowing what to do. Alastair was old, really old. If he wanted to kill us we wouldn’t be able to stop him. I quickly shoot down in the seat in front of Elena who looks at me with the same look as Ric. Caroline, who is currently shooting daggers at Alastair, sits beside her. Alastair sits down unphased in the seat on my right and I freeze when I turn to the person behind him. Yoda. Well, technically Ripper Stefan now.
“Nice to see you, Y/n. I’ve missed you,” Stefan’s sarcastic words don’t seem to phase me as I glare at him.
“I wish all the vampires in this town would just die. For real,” I hear an insulted gasp from behind me and I turn back to Caroline, “Not you though.”
Caroline nods her head apporvingly.
“Welcome back, seniors,” Ric’s voice turns my attention to the front of the classroom, “Let’s, uh, turn our brains back on starting with, uh, this country’s original founders the Native Americans.”
“What about the Vikings?’’
The British voice sends chills down my spine as a wave of nausea washes through me. Flashes of prank night cloud my vision and the smell of blood fills my nose.
“Well, there’s no evidence that Viking explorers actually settled in the United States,” Ric tells Rebekah as I watch in horror as she plants herself into the seat on my left.
“Who are you?”
Rebekah smiles up at Ric, “My name is Rebekah. I’m new and history is my favorite subject.”
I bite down hard on my lip as Rebekah turns her head and looks at me. A sickeningly sweet smile comes onto her face as she sends me a small wave. I quickly whip my head forward at Ric who looks just as clueless as everyone else. New year, new me, my ass.
—
Adjusting my reading glasses, I place my book down on the grass momentarily. Caroline stands about 10 feet away with the other cheerleaders as they stretch before practice. Elena is also out here, but she’s on the track running. She had invited me to go running with her but I just laughed in her face thinking she was joking. When I realized she was indeed actually asking me, I once again laughed in her face and then told her to have fun and I’d be sitting on the grass reading my book.
So for the past 15 minutes, that’s what I’ve been doing. Or at least have been trying. With the loud cheering music, the sounds of footballers hitting one another, and the hard-ass ground I’m sitting on, it’s been kind of hard to focus.
“What are you doing here?”
Caroline’s angry voice has me perking up my head as I look up and surprisingly see Rebekah stretching next to her.
“Sounds like you have an opening on the squad,” Rebekah says and Caroline glares at her and then looks over at me quickly.
“Actually that spot just got filled,” Rebekah follows Care’s eyeline to me and we both have a confused look on our faces.
“Excuse me,” I question my friend and she walks over to me.
“Ya! Y/n is actually on the team now,” Caroline says matter-of-factly and I cringe at the thought.
“Ya Caroline,” I get her attention and she hums, “I can’t join. One because I literally would rather die, and two because gun shot to the shoulder remember?”
I gesture to my shoulder and Caroline opens and closes her mouth and then rolls her eyes in defeat before going back into line.
“You were shot?”
I frown as Rebekah almost sounds caring as she asks me. She has a weary expression on her face and I glare at her.
“You,” Caroline points at Rebekah, “Don’t talk to her. Why are you here?”
Rebekah leans down to stretch ignoring the blonde vamp.
“Hey,” Caroline prods, “Hey.”
Rebekah stands up and stares at my friend and honestly, I wish I had some popcorn to watch what’s about to go down.
“You can’t just come here and infiltrate all of our lives.”
“I’m only interested in yours,” Rebekah says snarkily, “Your spunk, your popularity,” She looks over at Tyler who is running drills next to Theo, and then back to me, “Maybe even your boyfriend and best friend?”
“Oh, no she didn’t,” I ooh at them and Caroline glares at me. I cringe and pretend to go back to reading. I’m totally still watching both of them over my book though.
Rebekah walks away from Caroline but not before sending me a smile, one that I don’t return. Caroline looks at me like she doesn’t know what to do and I just shrug because I honestly don’t know either.
Caroline walks off and I try to go back to my book but right when I’m about to focus the sound of a whistle is blown.
“Oh! Come on!”
I frustratedly watch as the football coach dismisses the football players way too early. Strange. And it’s not long before Theo is running up to me.
“What’s up bitch,” He gests as he looks down at me.
“I’ve told you not to call me that,” I sniff and then cover my nose in disgust, “You stink dude. God damn.”
My brother sniffs the air and then smirks, “That’s the smell of your boy making first string this fall. And, you call me a dumbass, so why can’t I call you bitch. Also, it’s not like I’m doing it deragotivly. I’m a feminist you know. I loveeee women.”
“There’s so much to unpack with what you just said,” I reach my hand up and Theo takes it and pulls me up. Careful to not pull too hard on my shoulder, “I call you a dumbass because you are a dumbass.”
Theo thinks to himself for a moment before smirking again, “A handsome dumbass.”
“You stress me out,” I groan as we start walking towards the school.
“And yet you can’t live without me.”
—
Elena pulls her car into my Theo and I’s driveway and I sigh deeply when I see my mother's car parked in the driveway.
“You sure you’ll be alright? You can just come back to mine. I really don’t mind,” Elena tells me from her seat and I heavily debate the idea before shaking my head.
“I can’t live in your bed forever. Besides, if I stay over too long Theo will have questions. Questions I’m not ready or even sure how to answer.”
Elena nods solemnly as I open the door and get out.
“Well, call me if you need anything alright,” I nod at her request, “I’ll see you tonight at the fire. Don’t be late or you’ll have Caroline to speak to.”
I flinch at the idea of making the already pissed-off blonde mad and nod. I give Elena a wave and slowly trudge my way up the stairs. I quietly open the front door, hoping my mother is on some business call and doesn’t realize I’m here.
“Y/n? Is that you?”
Damnit.
“Uh, ya. It’s me,” I clench my jaw as my mother enters the living room. She looks me over as if I’m just going to disappear. Which right now I wish I would.
“I didn’t know when you’d be coming back,” She says in a hopeful voice that irks me.
“Ya, I didn’t either,” We stand in silence for a moment before I start walking to my room, “I have to get ready for the bonfire tonight.”
“Wait!’’
My mother’s voice has me stopping in place and staring at the wall in front of me. I wait for her to speak and for a moment I don’t think she’s going to.
“I miss you,” Her strained voice has my eyes instantly tearing up, “I miss hearing you here. Laughing into your books, or hearing your music play in your room. Besides Theo, it’s so quiet here. You seemed so happy. I’m so sorry I changed that.”
Her apology and words have me clenching my fists in anger, “Happy? Happy! Do you really think I was happy? Mom, I was miserable! The only reason I was in my room reading my books and listening to my music was because I had nothing else! Nothing else to laugh about or smile about. And honestly, I’m not even surprised you never noticed either of those things since you were always gone,” I glare at my mother who is now crying at my confession, “You’re too busy focusing on your clients that you never even noticed your own daughter drowning in her head right in front of you. So no, I don’t want your apology. Because what’s done is done. ”
Without another word, I turn around and walk to my room, slamming my door behind me.
—
“I’ll lure Stefan away from the bonfire then when he’s distracted…”
“I’ll shoot him,” Ric finishes off Elena’s sentence.
I watch from my desk as the Scooby Gang try to come up with a plan to subdue Stefan at tonight’s bonfire.
“Can’t Bonnie just juju him or something,” Damon questions. He’s currently sitting on top of my desk.
“I’m trying to keep Bonnie out of this. I don’t trust that Stefan won’t hurt her,” Elena reasons and I nod.
“If Stefan tries to hurt my girl he’s going to have another thing coming to him,” I say as I pull out both of my fists. Damon looks down at me and rolls his eyes dramatically and pushes my fists back down.
“Put those away, Rocky. You’re staying away from Stefan as well tonight.”
“Excuse me?”
“Caroline, are you covered,” Elena asks the blonde vamp.
“Yes! I will make sure that the old Forbes jail cell is prepped and ready.”
“We’re forgetting a key player here. Rebekah? Wherever Stefan goes, the blonde ponytail tends to follow.”
At Damon’s mention of the blonde, I growl under my breath.
“Which is why it’s your job to keep her away,” Elena answers him.
“How? She’s an original. The last time I checked, we were out of daggers.”
“We could always wake Elijah up,” I say a little too quickly, and everyone in the room deadpans me, “Ok…guess not.”
“So then preoccupy her with your charm,” Elena says and I snort out a laugh.
“Might have better luck finding the dagger,” Ric says and my snorting gets louder.
“Sorry, I’m late. What���s going on?”
Tyler entering the room turns everyone’s attention and I use this to try to sneak Damon’s wallet out of his pants pocket.
They’re all conversing and I’m about to get it but Damon stands up from his seat and the wallet falls out onto the floor in front of me. Damon seems to be entranced with whatever everyone is talking about to notice so I quickly lean down and grab the wallet. I smirk evilly to myself as I see the wad of bills and quickly grab some and put them in the pocket of my sweatshirt. I loud gasp jolts me and I drop the wallet.
“I didn’t do anything!”
I freeze and see Tyler on the floor unconscious with Damon over him.
“What are you doing?”
Caroline runs over to her boyfriend”
“He’s been sired,” Damon says as he stares down at the boy.
“What,” Ric asks speaking for all of us.
“Sired. He feels loyal to Klaus because Klaus’ blood created him.”
“Uh oh,” I whisper as I slide the wallet onto the desk in front of me.
“Loyal how?”
“He’ll seek acceptance from his master. It’s really rare, but maybe not so much in hybrids.”
Caroline looks up to Damon, “So how do we fix him?”
“Get a new boyfriend.”
—
“Just stay behind me and try not to go anywhere with Stefan alone ok?”
Elena’s worrisome expression makes me sigh, “I’ll be fine Elena. No pissing off Yoda. I got it. He’s not the only vamp I’m trying to hide from tonight.”
I cautiously look around the woods where dozens of teenagers drink and party to loud music. Thankfully, no signs of Alastair.
Elena and I approach She-Klaus and Non-Yoda who are standing next to a keg. Elena grabs the beer in Stefan’s hands and chugs it. Okay then.
“Elena, Y/n, hi. What are you guys doing?”
“We’re having fun Stefan,” Elena hands me a beer but I reject it, “You have a problem with that?”
“Alright, take it easy,” Stefan says as Elena drinks another beer, “We both know you’re kind of a lightweight.”
Elena coughs, “Really? You think I’m going to let a blood addict tell me how to drink?”
A loud laugh leaves my lips at my friends comment, “She got you there man.”
Elena grabs my hand, drops her empty cup at Stefan’s feet, and leads us away from the two vampires.
“How much of a lightweight are you exactly?”
My question has Elena cringing, “Let’s just say tonight is going to be rough.”
—
I’m peacefully enjoying the quietness next to the fire when an annoying voice comes from behind me.
“You know when my family and I were humans, once a month before the full moon our village would throw parties like this to celebrate,” I release a groan and stand up when I see Rebekah approach me.
She instantly stands in front of me and raises her hands in surrender, “Please don’t go,” Her earnest voice stops me, “I’m not going to hurt you.”
“I find that hard to believe,” I bite out.
“You don’t like me yet. And I understand why. You’re loyal to your friends. But I think you and I are going to be great friends one day.”
Rebekah’s words make me frown, “And why is that?”
Rebekah sits down on the log I was previously sitting on and she pats the spot next to her. I sigh as I sit down, much to her enjoyment.
“I can’t tell you yet. But, I just know.”
I groan at those words, “Do all of you Mikaelsons just love using that phrase?”
Rebekah’s eyes narrow in question, “All?”
“Ya, you and Elijah. He’s said that to me like fifty-seven times.”
“You’ve met Elijah?”
I nod and look at the fire, “Uh, ya. Once or twice.”
I see Rebekah frown next to me and her face appears next to mine as she looks at my face, “Why are you doing that?”
“Dude you really have to work on personal space. And what am I doing?”
Rebekah points to my face, “You’re blushing! Why are you blushing when talking about Elijah? You’re not supposed to be blushing!”
My eyes go wide at her accusation, “I am not blushing! And certainly not because of Elijah! I don’t even think of the guy.”
Rebekah shoves her finger at me, “Liar! Your heart just skipped! Elijah not supposed to be the one making you blush.”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
Rebekah sits back and shrugs, “Nothing.”
“Rebekah! Seriously!”
We both stare at each other for a moment before I sigh and fall into my hands. I groan out in pain though when I put too much pressure on my shoulder.
“You’re hurt?”
I sit up and gently rub my shoulder, “I’m fine.”
“You mentioned earlier that you got shot. How did it happen?”
I look at the girl uneasily and for a moment I don’t see the Orignal vampire but a regular teenager.
“The sheriff shot me when she was trying to shoot Damon.”
“And I’m guessing that is now a dead sheriff,” Rebekah says and I frown and shake my head.
“No, of course not. It’s Caroline’s mother.”
“I don’t see how that matters. Especially when my brother finds out.”
“Elijah?”
Rebekah rolls her eyes, “You need to stop thinking about Elijah. It’ll only hurt you. I’m talking about Klaus.”
I shake my head in confusion, “What do you mean Klaus? Why would he give a damn?”
Rebekah’s eyes go wide and she clamps her mouth shut.
“Seriously!”
“Just heed my warning alright. Stay away from Elijah. For my family's sake and yours.”
An uneasiness washes over me, and then I sigh when Damon Salvawhore walks over to us.
“Hello, ladies.”
“And that’s my cue to leave,” I stand up and begin walking away but am pulled back by a hand grabbing my own.
I look down and see Rebekah staring up at me, “I meant what I said about us becoming friends, Y/n.”
I stare at her for a moment before nodding and walking away from the two vampires.
—
“Where do you think you’re going,” Alastair’s voice halts me and I grit my teeth.
“Of course you’re here,” I don’t turn around and look at him, I just continue walking.
The vampire doesn’t get the hint the as he catches up to me easily and walks beside me.
“Where are you going?”
“Leave me alone.”
“Y/n. Where are you going?”
I ignore him as I keep walking but a hand to the arm pulls me back lightly. I turn around and quickly pull my arm from Alastair’s grasp as I glare at him.
“Don’t! Don’t you dare touch me! Just leave me alone,” I yell at him and he shakes his head.
“I told you I can’t do that,” His answer has me practically growling at him.
“Oh ya, because you’re Klaus’ little bitch. I remember.”
I whip back around and continue walking.
“I am not his bitch,” Alastair says from my side.
“You follow his orders and listen to what he tells you. Kinda sounds like what someone's bitch would do.”
I hear a low growl escape Alastair’s mouth.
“Just tell me where you’re going.”
“It’s none of your business.”
“If you’re going to find Elena she’s already gone home.”
At his words, I halt.
“What?”
“Elena and Ric took Stefan away.”
I close my eyes and sigh. Great.
“And how would you know that?”
“I was trying to find you and came across them taking an unconscious Stefan away.”
I raise my eyebrows in surprise since that means our plan actually worked. It never works.
“And I bet now you’re going to run off and tell Klaus his precious boy toy has been compromised,” I bite out as I turn towards the parking lot. If Elena isn’t here anymore than I’m leaving.
“Nope,” Alastair says popping the p.
I stop and turn to him in surprise, “No? Why not?”
“For one, I’m not his bitch. And two, my orders are to watch over you, nothing else. What your friends do in there past times is none of my concern. Well, as long as it doesn’t hurt or endanger you in the process.”
“Wait…hurt or endanger?”
I watch Alastair tense up as he realizes he slipped up.
“You’re here to protect me?”
Alastair doesn’t say anything as he looks down at his shoes.
“Alastair!”
“I’ve already said too much,” He throws his hands up and I roll my eyes and continue walking. Thankfully my car comes into sight and I march towards it.
“Where are you going?” “If you truly must know home. I’m going the fuck home,” I bite out as I use my key thob to unlock my car door.
“Are you and your mother still fighting?”
I pause my hand on the car door.
“That’s none of your business.”
I throw open my car door and step inside. I don’t look at the vampire as I slam the car door shut and turn the car on.
I’m just about to peel away when Alastair says one last thing to me.
“Our friendship wasn’t a lie to me.”

Andrzej Sapkowski - interview for Inny Świat, July 2003
IŚ: Do you ever find yourself guided by sentiments when developing the plot? Do you have reservations about killing off a beloved character or do you consider only the goodness and truthfulness of the story being told? Have you felt sorry for any of Geralt's team members? Andrzej Sapkowski: I completely fail to understand where there is room for regret here. Or for sentiments. Since this is not the first time I have heard such a question, I will answer with a counter-question. Do you really think that my plot plans, the development of the action that I assumed, could have included something that did NOT happen in the plot? That, for example, I planned in the initial phase of writing that the archer Milva would fall in love with the vampire Regis, and that the feeling would be mutual, that they would get married in the end and have lots of children, vampires who were accurate shooters with bows. And then suddenly, while writing - bang! Clink! Thud! The pen moved, Milva was dead, the vampire was dead. Pity, oh my, oh my, terrible pity. Oh, what a pity. And it was going so well! Do you really not notice the downright ridiculousness here? Do you? So why the hell do you keep asking the same ridiculous questions?
i just keep thinking:
the most ridiculous thing sapkowski could think of on the spot as an example of something stupid that he would not ever plan to write was milva x regis
the idea of this crackship taking place is just about as ridiculous as the concept of them not dying
further explanation: "the hanza is platonic friends and also they are doomed to die together forever what don't you understand about that"
i have something to share with the class

Katsuki spends Halloween with you.
1,200 words~
You sniffled in your room waiting for your humidifier to finally help.
Of all days to come down with the cold, why did it have to be your favorite holiday, Halloween?
You looked at your forgotten costume in the corner of your dorm and sighed.
“Knock knock,” you heard followed by loud banging on your door.
Reluctantly you opened your door and we’re met with the sight of Denki, Eijiro, Hanta, and Katsuki.
“Um, why aren’t you in your costume yet? We’re totally going to be late for the party,” Denki asked.
“Isn’t it obvious Dunce Face, look at them! They are sick as hell!” Katsuki yelled as some of the boys shuffled into your dorm.
“No way are you really not feeling well? That’s such a bummer man,” Eijiro said, looking at you with puppy eyes.
“Yeah, it’s fine you guys go have fun,” you waved your hand for them to get out. “I don’t want to get you all sick.”
“That superrrr sucks. But, we need your expert opinion first. Tell me are the ladies ready for this costume,” Denki asked motioning to his devil costume.
You couldn’t help but laugh, Denki was relentless with his endless pinning. You yanked on his devil tail letting it snap back and hit him.
“Ow!” He yelled in surprise.
“You look great, Kaminari. I think the lady is going to love it,” you said, giving him a wink causing him to blush.
“And what about my cape? Does it look dumb?” Eijiro asked, looking a little self-conscious.
“A vampire, hu? Pretty smart with those teeth of yours. Yeah, it looks cute, Kirishima. Sero, your pirate looks great too. But, how did you boys manage to get Bakugo in a costume this year?”
“What?! I did this on my own!” Katsuki barked at you.
“Really? You chose a werewolf all by yourself, hu?” You asked.
“Tch, what’s the matter with it?! Better than these extras lame ass costumes,” he said defensively.
“It looks good Bakugo. Alright go, all of you get out of here before you catch my cold,” you said, encouraging them to leave.
“Ok, I’m sorry... feel better soon, ok?” Eijiro said as he, Hanta, and Denki started to make their way out.
“Kacchan come on we’re already super late,” Denki called.
“Nah- you idiots go,” Katsuki said.
“What no way, you’re seriously not going to come even after you picked out your whole costume?” Hanta asked.
“Parties are fucking dumb, get out of here already,” Katsuki yelled.
“Alright man, we’ll see you later then,” Eijiro said, pulling the other two boys who were still trying to convince Bakugo to come.
Once the other three were gone you turned to Katsuki, “You didn’t have to do that.”
“Tch I didn’t do it for you dumb ass! I was looking for any excuse not to go to that dumb party,” Katsuki said, crossing his arms.
“Mhm sure,” you said, rolling your eyes playfully at him.
“Whatever- your voice sounds like crap. Let’s go down to the common room and I’ll make you some tea and we can watch a dumb movie or something,” he suggested.
“You really want to watch a Halloween movie?!” You asked surprised by his holiday spirit.
“Uh yeah- isn’t that what you’re supposed to do on Halloween? Come on, let’s go. Tired of seeing you moping in your room,” he said, waving at you to follow him downstairs.
You followed Katsuki downstairs to the common room and started looking for movies while he made some tea for you.
“Do you want to watch an actual scary movie or a cheesy cute one like The Addams Family or something?” You asked.
Katsuki set the tea down next to you and sat on the couch. “I don’t give a fuck, they are all dumb.”
“Fine- I’m showing you my favorite then,” you decided, turning the movie on and sitting down next to him. Katsuki just grunted in response.
You settled in more into the couch drinking the tea he made, “The tea is good thank you,” you said.
“No need to thank me dumb ass, if you need more just let me know,” he said, eyes staying locked on the TV. You watched him for a few moments trying to make sense of his actions that never seemed to match his words.
You decided to take a risk and leaned a bit into Katsuki’s shoulder. To your surprise, he didn’t move or react at all. Instead, he looked down at you, “Why is this one your favorite Halloween movie?” He asked.
Katuski was a surprisingly good listener, and despite his disdain at first, he declared he didn’t completely hate every second of the movie you chose.
“Alright, what’s the next one?” He asked.
“You want to watch another?! Isn’t it kind of late for you?” You asked surprised.
“I don’t sleep that damn early! You all just stay up too late! Besides, those idiots aren’t back yet so- just put on another one,” he said.
You chose another movie and nuzzled back into the couch leaning more into Katsuki who again made no reaction.
Before you knew it, time had passed, and the occasional comments Katsuki made about the movie slowly stopped as you both felt sleepiness wash over you.
The next thing you knew you heard whispers from behind you.
“Should we wake them up?” Hanta whispered.
“Awe they look so comfy,” Eijiro said.
“What! How did Kacchan get more action than any of us?!” Denki said, irritated.
“Come on, let’s leave them,” Eijiro said, pulling his two friends away.
You opened your eyes slowly as you heard the boys finally leave back to their dorms. Immediately a blush took over your face as you realized you had fallen asleep in Katsuki’s lap. Katsuki was fast asleep with his head leaning against the couch.
You gently shook him a bit to bring him out of sleep.
Katsuki inhaled sharply and picked his head up, blinking hard he slowly came back to consciousness.
“Hey, um the others came through already. We must have fallen asleep.”
“Damn,” he said, stretching. “Must have been that boring ass movie.”
“Hey, it wasn’t that bad!” You said smacking his shoulder playfully.
“Yeah yeah whatever, I want to get out of this damn costume,” he said getting up off the couch. “Come on I’ll walk you to your dorm, I don’t want your sick ass passing out on the way up the elevator or anything.”
“I’m not that helpless,” you argued but followed Katsuki back to your dorm.
“Alright get some sleep idiot or you’re never going to get better,” he said, opening your door for you.
“Thank you,” you said awkwardly, passing him to step into your room.
“Yeah whatever- it wasn’t as awful as that party would have been I guess,” he said.
“Those ears are really cute on you by the way,” you said playfully patting his hair around his costume wolf ears.
“Tch,” he exclaimed, irritated looking at the floor but you caught the small tint that grew on his cheeks.
“Goodnight, Bakugo,” you said and moved closer to press a kiss to his cheek.
Katsuki backed up, surprised, “Trying to get me sick dumb ass,” he said, rubbing his cheek.
“Oh fuck- sorry,” you apologized.
“Don’t- it’s fine, but, you should try a little harder,” he said, grabbing your wrist and pulling you to him as he pressed his lips to yours. “Goodnight.” He said and swiftly left down the hallway.
An extra Halloween fic, since I was stuck in the house sick on my favorite holiday 😩! Hope y’all enjoy this self indulgent comfort fic.
