Tumblr media
Who will you be spending Christmas with this year? Depending on what day it falls on and what my schedule looks like at the time, I will most likely be spending it at the animal shelter. The rest of the day will be spent at home with my dad. I'm sure I'll do something with my mom to celebrate Christmas too, but not necessarily on the day-of.
What time do you usually go to sleep at night? I go to bed super early (like 7pm-8pm); however, it takes me a while to fall asleep, so unconsciousness happens sometime around 9pm. I also typically wake up during the night and it takes me a bit to get back to sleep. Going to bed so early is pretty much the only thing that even halfway guarantees that I'll get at least 7-8 hours of solid sleep. Unfortunately, going to bed later with the hope that I'll fall asleep faster or sleep more deeply just shrinks that available window of opportunity.
Did you go to high school with your current best friend? No, but we did meet during my high school years.
Have you ever wanted to be vegetarian or vegan? I have been vegan/vegetarian at different points in my life, but not currently.
Do you park your car in a garage, carport or just in a driveway? I park it in the driveway. There's no room in the other half of our garage, but even if there was…lmao, I'm afraid I would park in there and I wouldn't be able to back out again. New driver problems, I guess. ;D
Have you ever been a passenger in a semi-trailer truck? Yeah. In childhood. We broke down on the way back from a grocery shopping trip in another city and a semi driver gave us a ride back into town.
Have you felt sick today? No. Just tired, but a good, satisfying type of tired.
Whose was the last funeral you attended? It was for the father of a past partner, back in 2009.
Have you read The Hunger Games trilogy? I have.
How many times a week do you wash your hair? A bunch. Twice on animal shelter days because I shower before and after, then at least once during my two days off. Like, sometimes I'll skip showering on one of the days if all I'm doing is going grocery shopping, but if I'm feeling gross or have therapy or some other social activity later in the day, then I'll take one.
Do you need to wash your hair right now? I guess I don't need to because I showered last night, but I will be showering shortly because I need to get ready to go to therapy before too much longer.
Do you avoid using public restrooms? Not really.
What is your boss’ (or school principal’s) name? I'm not going to give their real names (I've been using aliases for animal shelter staff for the sake of anonymity, plausible deniability, or what have you), but they will be referred to in this blog as Leslie and Iris.
Have you seen any extended relatives in the last month? I haven't.
Do you like eggnog? Yeah.
Is there anything important you need to do today? Therapy, wash my bedding, make some art, and spend some time with my kitties (I can tell they miss me now that I'm gone more often). Oh, and because I don't know if I'll get a chance to take a survey within the next few days, I'll just talk about some upcoming stuff. I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow morning and I need to pick up a bunch of doughnuts to bring in on Friday. It might be Cassie's last day, so I want to have a little going away celebration with the people in cattery. It's also going to be one of our community service worker's last days, so we're going to sneakily invite him back there as well. Plus Darrel - can't forget Darrel. And I'm getting enough so that the dog staff can have some too because I don't want them to feel left out, especially not with how kind they've all been to me.
Who is the person you dislike the most? Okay, you know when you work with someone who drives you up the wall with their behavior/personality? Then you find out they might be leaving (it's still a case of I'll believe it when I see it)? And you're like…damn, I'm actually gonna miss you a little bit. Maybe you're not so bad after all. And what if the person who replaces you is even worse? (It's Alex, lmao.)
Do you take part in paying the bills for your household? Yeah.
Have you ever properly listened to classical music? Did you like it? I don't know what you mean by properly, but I basically always listen to classical music whenever I'm in the car. I do like it.
Do your parents know how to text? Yeah.
Do you text your parents often? Not that often. I text my dad when I'm on my way home from the shelter after full days (sometimes we get finished much later than expected), and I text my mom only very occasionally.
What letter does your middle name begin with? A.
Do your initials spell an actual word? HAT.
What will you do when this survey is over? I'm actually going to stop here and go take my shower. I'll finish this later in the day, so you'll have your answer then… OKAY. I'm back from therapy. It was cancelled due to a family emergency. I had a snack, made some art, and after this…I think I'm going to lie in bed and listen to something on YouTube until lunchtime.
Do you know anyone with celiac disease? I don't think so.
How many siblings do you have? Are they all full siblings? I have one sibling.
What’s the weather like today? Sunny and hot.
Have you ever eaten a cinnamon donut? I might have.
What is the longest relationship you’ve ever been in? A few years.
How many times a day do you brush your teeth? Twice.
How do you usually celebrate New Years? I don't really do anything. I don't even bother staying up until midnight.
Is the place that you’re in right now quiet or loud? What can you hear? It's a little bit loud due to the swamp cooler.
Do you currently have any alarms set? No.
How many cars can fit in your driveway? You could probably squish four in there if you wanted to.
Do you like whiskey? I don't like the taste of hard liquor in general. Then again, I don't drink it for the taste.
When was the last time you ate, and what did you have? I had Greek yogurt with fruit, cereal, and chocolate syrup.

a very bleak christmas
wolfstar fic /// one shot
word count ( 6.2k ITS LONG SORRY)
fluff, not much smut
this turned out awfully long IM SORRY😭 having that said i hope you enjoy <33 ily mwahh
"you ready wormy?" james said, shutting his trunk and looking at his bed and around the dormitory to make sure hasnt forgotten anything. he looked over at the shorter boy with sandy coloured hair who was bending down apparently trying to get something he dropped from under the bed, but struggling a great deal. he nervously shot his head up giving james a weak smile and said "yes, im ready, i just dropped something here im not sure what-"
"just tell moony to fetch it for you while we're away" james said and peter just agreed and left the dormitory trailing after james with his trunk, shutting the door on his way. the gryffindor common room was emptier than usual, but the fireplace was lit with a couple of people huddling around it to shield themselves from the ruthless cold of december. despite this however, peoples spirits were as light as ever as almost everyone was departing for two weeks to spend christmas with their families, even lily evans stopped rolling her eyes every time james breathed, and started spending more time with him and ( to james' great delight) enjoying his company. speaking of lily, she was standing by the fireplace with her hair up in a ponytail with a furry winter cap on her head. james noticed her at once and made his way down the flight of stairs and tapped her shoulder softly, she turned around and gave him a warm smile, a short hug followed.
"happy holidays james!" she smiled so widely it watered james' eye. she called him james, not potter.
"happy holidays" he managed to respond, taken aback by the sudden affection she just showed him. she looked around furrowing her brows slightly then spoke, "wheres your trunk? have you not packed?"
"oh no i have! i left my trunk with peter to um, you know, come and say hi" he said the second part of the sentence quietly, she let out a soft laugh, god he just wanted to kiss her so bad. "wheres yours?" he asked quickly. she turned around slightly to show him her trunk which was standing behind her, tapping it twice.
"alright then, lets go down to breakfast, minnie wouldnt want us to be late" he told her, taking her hand and leading her out of the common room with him. he looked back at peter who was struggling with his own trunk and james' but peter just shot him a thumbs up as if he got everything under control.
"alright wormy, dont be late" he muttered. the pair of them walked down from the gryffindor tower to the entrance hall and right to the great hall where elaborate christmas decorations were encapsulating the place, giving the entire castle a more homey vibe. the four house tables were emptier than usual, james and lily made their way to the gryffindor table where they were met by a handsome boy with long hair that he managed to scruff in a very messy pony tail, and a taller boy sitting across him who seemed to find his buttering his toast to be a very intriguing activity. lily and james took seats next to them.
"morning" sirius spoke, looking at lily then at james.
"morning sirius, how are you" lily replied, who also began buttering her toast. sirius didnt respond right away, instead he eyed her then finally spoke, "oh im, im very good" it didnt really seem like it, sirius didnt seem to be in his loud, arrogant and flirtatious mood today, instead a rather dull and quiet one. lily looked at james silently trying to understand what had caused the sudden change in sirius behavior, she was met a mere shrug from james. the four of them sat in silence for the next ten minutes, no one breaking silence that seemed to have swallowed them. remus then looked up for the first time and sighed loudly, which made sirius look very attentively at him, waiting for him to say anything.
"im gonna go, im in the dorm if you want me pads. enjoy your holidays james, you too lily" he said lowly, also clearly in a dull mood in contrast to everyones mood right now. he got up and left, shooting them a weak smile before disappearing out of the great hall.
sirius watched him so closely even when he had gotten out of sight. it was common knowledge that the pair are in love and clearly fancied each other, almost everyone in school knew that. maybe its because of sirius' shameless attitude, cuddling with remus in the common room, sitting on his lap in the middle of the great hall, or pushing remus against a wall and just stand in front of him doing god knows what. the only problem was... neither sirius nor remus knew they liked each other. they obviously knew they had a different relationship than anyone else but they were so oblivious to the fact that theyre in love that it sometimes made james just want to scream it in their face.
"you okay pads?" james said mockingly, sirius had been staring at where remus left for at least ten minutes completely transfixed, he came back to his senses at once and looking abruptly between james and lily then back at his doughnut, fiddling with it slightly. he then shot james an alarmed look and said, "dont call me that james". he spoke so firmly, he knew james knew this is what remus calls him. no one was really allowed to use that nickname with him, even he and james who had a light hearted friendship that was basically based on jokes and pranks, sirius pronounced the words looking into james' eyes, which made james know he was being one hundred percent serious. james didnt respond, feeling a rush of guilt in his stomach, he just took a bite of his oatmeal.
"how are things with you two" james asked. sirius once again didnt respond right away but instead took time to ponder his answer.
"what do you mean how are things"
"you know, have you guys had a row or anything?" james asked, stuffing more oatmeal in his mouth.
"oh- um yea no. not really no" sirius hesitated a bit. the truth is that remus and him didnt have a row, but today was one of these occasions where sirius woke up finding himself on remus' bed not knowing how or why. it had happened a couple of times before and when it did, remus would immediately smile warmly at sirius and pamper him with kisses here and there on his cheek and his jaw. however, today, remus woke up a bit more shaky to the fact that he was in the same bed as sirius. he straightened his pyjamas quickly giving sirius an awkward smile and leaving without a word.
james dropped his oatmeal and looked at sirius looking serious for the first time, giving him a smile that carried something between sympathy and support.
"are you ever going to tell him?"
"tell him what" sirius said bluntly
james smirked. even lily suppressed a knowing look. sirius rolled his eyes.
"you guys are not onto that bullshit the whole school talks about right?" he asked cringing slightly.
"if the bullshit includes you and remus being blindly in love then yes" james gave a small laugh.
"literally blindly" lily mumbled, but sirius heard her and gave her a look.
"guys- hes my best mate"
"doing a lot of canoodling with your 'best mate' ?" james smirked rolling his eyes.
"first of all, what the fuck is canoodling james, this isnt the eighteenth century" he ppinted out the weird choice of wording.
"whatever, point is, people dont sleep on their 'best mates' chests every day padfoot" sirius opened his mouth to protest but james cut him again "just save your breath will you. im trying to help"
sirius sighed heavily burying his head in his hands and shaking it.
"i dont fucking know what to do prongs. fuck ugh i hate this so much why cant it be simpler" sirius' voice got weaker.
"mate just talk to him, remus cant read your mind. and its pretty obvious the feelings mutual" james tried to convince him.
"i dont know if hes into- you know, into me" sirius tried to explain. sirius had come out to the entire school three years ago so it was common knowledge that was gay.
"oh he is" lily said
sirius blinked.
"i mean, i spend a lot of time with him in our prefects meetings and in the library and stuff" she explained. sirius blinked again.
"i mean" she began again, "he talks about you an awful lot and seems to be quite fond of you" she smiled.
"look, you'll never know if you dont ask" james said again. "look at me, i had to ask lily out at least fifteen times-"
"james what the fuck this isnt the same, why are you even comparing it" sirius interrupted
"oh of course its not the same, but communication is key, no matter what the relationship is"
"yea and when i ask him out and he just says i misunderstood all his soft affectionate gestures, then stops hanging out with me because im gay and he would know i have feelings for him, that clearly arent mutual. i'll just ruin everything, and i'll lose probably the only person that likes me in this lousy world" sirius spilled, laughing bitterly.
"sirius! you know remus would never stop hanging out with you because of that, you know it!" james said, his voice getting a bit louder.
"yea but it'd be a sticky situation when your gay friend has feelings for you" sirius said, his eyes filled with tears that he wiped right away hoping james and lily didnt see that.
"sirius.." lily said lowly
"lily can you please check up on peter and help him if needs any assistance" james told her firmly, she didnt need telling twice, knowing he wanted to be left alone with sirius. she made her way out of the great hall until she was out of sight, then james look at sirius again who had his head buried in his hands once again.
"sirius i dont know whats gotten into you today, but you know damn well that neither moony or i would ever think of you any differently because you're gay. stop saying that as if its something that hinders you" this was one of the rare occasions where james was serious and firm. he wanted sirius to know meant every word that left his mouth. at this moment he heard a sniff followed by a weak sob.
"james, i sometimes wish i wanst- wasnt, you know, gay" he managed to say between sobs. james' face fell suddenly.
"no dont say that. please dont say that, you know we love you the way you are and we dont give two damns if you're gay or not" james got up and made his way across the table to sit next to sirius rather than in front of him.
"you're me best mate, i dont like seeing you like this. i love you a lot sirius and nothing your little overthinking brain comes up with could change that" he said, pulling sirius into a hug, so hard that he mightve broken a few ribs. he wasnt gonna let go before sirius does, he could stay here all day until sirius was ready to let go. he heard strong sniffs and felt his chest going up and down. sirius broke the hug after a few minutes, looking a lot more content than he had a few minutes before. james gave him his usual cheeky smile.
"your fucking snout sirius" james laughed, picking up a handkerchief trying to clean his shoulder.
"fuck off" sirius managed to laugh, sniffing again.
"thank you" sirius said quietly
"come off it, dont thank me" james smiled at him. he watched him grab a cigarette and right when he was about to light it with the tip of his wand james stopped him hesitantly. james never really liked to mother him about smoking or give him lectures about the effects smoking had, but he noticed sirius was eating less and smoking more the past couple of days. sirius shot a "what-do-you-want" look to which james responded, "um, can you please just eat something before you smoke" james said. he knew this was a touchy subject, he never liked to mention it but they were alone and he knows he's the only one sirius would listen to. sirius gave him a hesitant look, before stuffing the cigarette back in his pocket.
"just for you prongs" he rolled his eyes, taking a bite of his doughnut. james however was filled with so much joy seeing his best friend do that just for him.
"what are you smiling so much at you prat" sirius said between bites. james shook his head softly before saying, "im very proud of you sirius, i hope you know that" sirius smiled and laughed dismissively at that statement, james knew it touched him but sirius never really knew how to respond to affectionate words.
"you're very sappy you know that" sirius laughed slightly.
"whatever" james felt his cheeks go red. "anyway i have to get going before i get minnie mad on christmas" he said, getting up, swinging his backpack on his back leaving the hall.
"tell moony i say merry christmas" james called, leaving the great hall also disappearing out of sight.
~
later that night, james and lily departed home to spend the upcoming weeks with their families to celebrate christmas, so did most of the school. as homey and welcoming as the school felt, everyone loved going back to their family, everyone except sirius. sirius was never fond of his family, he never had a good relationship with them and all they did was make him more miserable, he would take any chance to be away from them. sirius was sat in the library that was emptier than usual (but the ceiling was enchanted to fake snow) he was sitting with two giant books opened in front of him, yellowed by age. he looked over at the books, he hadnt read a single word despite being here for nearly an hour. he came here in an attempt to distract himself from the intensifying amount of nerves and stress, however, he was so lost in his thoughts that not even that gigantic book can save him from his exhausting overthinking. he sighed heavily, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulder, shutting the books that made a loud thud and put them back in their place. sirius swung his backpack on his back and left the library making his way to the gryffindor tower. he just wanted to sleep. yes, sleep, thats what he needed. he went through the fat lady's portrait and climbed up the stairs to his dormitory, finding remus sitting on his four poster bed completely engulfed by a book. remus shot his eyes up the second he heard sirius walking in and gave him a wordless smile, going back to his book. sirius' stomach did a funny lurch.
"i was starting to think youve forgotten your way around the castle" remus said, flipping the page of his book, still reading it. sirius looked at him nervously, not sure what he meant by that.
"what?" sirius asked, he was going to take his shirt off and get in his pyjamas but stopped abruptly. he didnt wanna make remus uncomfortable around him, especially after what happened this morning. they always had a very intimate relationship though, changing in front of each other was never a problem. remus suppressed a chuckle which made sirius look at him, unsure what he found comical in this very intense atmosphere.
"you can take your shirt off if you want sirius" remus said, still poured into his book.
"how can you even see me?" sirius couldnt stop himself. remus looked up from his book and gave him a is-that-even-a-question look. sirius slipped his undone tie, unbuttoning his buttons his fingers shaking horribly for a reason he didn't understand. he knew remus was looking in his book (not that he didnt want remus looking) but he still felt like all the worlds eyes are on him. a couple of awfully long minutes passed and sirius finally was in his pyjama and got into his bed under his blanket and stared absentmindedly into the wall. remus flipped the page once again, he hadnt read a word on the previous page. how could he? he was so preoccupied by sirius changing in front of him. remus did freak out when he found himself on the same bed as sirius this morning. he doesnt know why he freaked out the way he did, its not like its the first time. he knew that this had made sirius extremely self conscious the whole day, he was wearing a very dull look. he had to make up for his unexplainable actions, he cant stand seeing sirius this upset, especially if he was the reason hes feeling like that. he couldnt stand seeing him in such a bad mood on breakfast this morning that he had to dismiss himself early. but sirius' loss of his loud flirtatious attitude was what stirred the pot for remus. he didnt walk in the dorm and try to slip in bed with remus, or get a kiss from him, or remotely try draw any attention to hismelf from remus rather than that book in his hand, which was as un-sirius as one can get.
"why were you late?" remus asked sirius, knowing hes not asleep. sirius mumbled something inaudible from his bed that remus didnt catch onto. remus furrowed his brows slightly. he shut his book and put it on the bed side table, the sound he made when he shut his book made sirius shift in his bed to face remus who was staring back at him.
"where were you?" remus asked
"in the library" sirius said simply, avoiding any sarcasm or any joking around. remus face wore a surprised expression.
"oh- by your own will?" he said with a breathy laugh.
"yea" sirius replied
"what were you reading?" said remus, sounding excited. sirius didnt exactly know why he wad being interrogated by remus about his absence.
"um, i was just doing homework"
"oh, thats actually nice pads" remus smiled. sirius' stomach did another flip at the nickname. god this was so awkward and tense, sirius thought.
"sirius are you mad at me?" remus said, going straight to the point. every muscle in sirius' body went tense and completely still.
"no" sirius said bluntly.
"sure?"
"yea"
"okay. great then. um do you wanna come lay here with me?" remus offered, this was quiet foreign for remus as it was never him who initiated anything sexual or intimate. but he was willing to go out of his comfort zone for sirius. just for sirius.
"uh- sorry moony im really tired" it pained sirius to say these words, if he was being honest, he wanted nothing more than to lay in remus' chest right now and give him soft pecks and kiss his stupid plump lips.
"oh, okay" remus said lowly. "okay then" sirius wasnt sure what he meant by that tone, and before sirius has any other second to think about it, he felt his bed dip slightly and remus climbing on him, placing himself on top of sirius with his legs wide opened around his waist. sirius felt like all the oxygen in the world had escaped his lungs.
"tired, you said you are pads? want a little massage?" remus cooed softly. he leaned down on sirius' chest undoing his pyjama buttons revealing his tattooed chest.
"remus-" sirius tried to stop him. sirius promised himself he wasnt going to do anything like that with remus because he doesnt want to make him uncomfortable or possibly hate him more, however, this is different. its remus thats initiating it. it remus that did it.
"what pads?" remus continued cooing softly, completely stripping sirius of his shirt and attaching his lips on sirius' neck. at this exact moment, sirius moaned louder than he intended. he shifted slightly in his bed and put his hand through remus' hair. remus continued nibbling sirius' neck. he bit and licked at all the right spots, leaving a soft trail of kisses all over his neck and made his way up to his chin and on his lips, where he left a soft peck. sirius however pulled remus' head back towards him to kiss him properly, remus licked sirius' bottom lip which made sirius moan approvingly into the kiss. remus slipped his tongue in sirius' mouth and deepened the kiss, he felt sirius' hand wandering around his shoulder and slipped in his shirt to touch his bare skin.
"god this is so" remus moaned breaking the kiss only to attach his lips on his once again.
"remus-" sirius stopped him abruptly. remus looked down on sirius, his eyes mobing fast between his godly features, furrowing his brows slightly not understanding why sirius stopped him. did he make him uncomfortable? was sirius really not in the mood and remus overstepped a boundry? remus felt a horrible tingling feeling in his stomach as his brain raced between all the possibilities.
"remus im sorry- i cant do this" sirius said, as soon as the words left his mouth he felt horrible, reading the shocked and bewildered expression on remus face, he looked very hurt and unsure of himself.
"oh- fuck okay im sorry" remus said quickly, getting off sirius and leaving his bed, but sirius held his arm to immobilize him and not make him leave. they stared at each other for a few seconds that felt painfully long. both of them felt confused, upset with themselves and unsure of what to do or say next.
"can you please stay" sirius said quietly avoiding remus' eye. remus didnt respond which made sirius feel a horrible pit of nerves in his stomach.
"i- i don't understand. you just asked me to stop and told me you cant do this" remus spoke lowly with a soft rasp in his voice. sirius buried his head in his hand, he was on the brink of tears, he honestly didnt know what or how to explain his confusion to remus. how could he explain it or put it in cohesive words when he himself didn't understand.
"sirius please talk to me" remus said softly, holding sirius' hand
"rem i dont know how-"
"do you trust me?" remus cut him off.
"what- yes of course" sirius said sternly.
"then please tell me how you feel"
"how i feel about what?" sirius asked
"about doing this" remus tried to explain, sirius knew at once he was referring to all the sexual stuff they do.
"remus i love it. i enjoy it a lot, i sometimes just want the day to end only to get in bed with you. i- i dont know how to word my feelings because it's honestly just all a mess inside me" sirius spilled. this was the most he'd spoken all day. remus smiled at the last sentence. "what about you?" sirius asked, feeling the same horrible pit of nerves in his stomach increase. remus however smiled.
"i do things for you pads that id never do to anyone" he said, smiling more. he leaned closer to sirius' face and brushing a few strands of his hair out of his face. "but, if you feel unsure about this, we can stop and just be friends. i'd completely understand"
"no what the fuck moony" sirius said before he could stop himself, remus looked in his eyes. "no im unsure about your feelings to me, not about my feelings to you" he tried to explain.
"you think i dont like you?" remus asked quickly.
"well not exactly but im not sure how you feel towards me". at this, remus leaned down to kiss sirius lips a soft and tender kiss. he took his time to savor every bit of his mouth he could.
"maybe this would give you a good idea about how i feel about you" he smiled at him. "we're both exhausted, its best if we just go to sleep"
"right okay. can you sleep with me?" sirius asked, remus gave a breathy laugh at his sweet request.
"yes darling i can" he said with his usual rasp apparent, getting under the blanket and spooning sirius playing with his hair for the the next foreseeable hours until both of them were sleeping.
soft sun rays illuminated through the window of the gryffindor tower and on the entire hogwarts grounds. the translucent curtains that were in the dormitory were not doing any shielding from the sun rays whatsoever. it fell gently on the two boys that were sleeping together, tangled together, their bodies almost intertwining so perfectly with each other as if they were jigsaw pieces. sirius' head was on remus' chest, remus hugging sirius' body towards him and their legs just tangled. they looked so peaceful, their chests raising and going down every couple of seconds, it was all so perfect that one could confidently bet that even their heartbeats were in sync.
an owl came knocking its beak on the window above the bed theyre on, breaking the gentle yet majestically peaceful the state they were in. sirius shifted slightly in his sleep, opening his eyes to find uninvited sunlight penetrating right through his eyeballs. the owl made another knock on the window trying to grab their attention.
"fine okay" sirius said rasply, he got up sitting upright opening the window for that stupid owl that interrupted his sleep. the owl had two parcels tied on its leg. sirius untied them and the owl flew out at once.
"whos that from?" a raspy voice spoke he immediately knew it was remus.
"um, i think its" he turned the parcel around to see if there was any name, he smiled when he saw the senders name.
"yep, its from prongs" he said looking at remus who also smiled warmly.
"well, we'll open it later, lets just get up quickly now before we miss breakfast" he said, sitting up right and sliding his legs out of the bed. the two boys changed into their normal clothes. remus got into a hand knitted sweater and pants, sirius also got into a baggy sweatshirt and sloppily tied his hair up.
"pads is that mine?" remus smiled looking at the sweater sirius was wearing.
"maybe" sirius replied with a cheeky tone.
"course it is" remus rolled his eyes. "you literally have the biggest closet out of all of us, yet youre never wearing your shit" sirius gave him a weird look.
"not that i mind it darling" remus said softly, playing with sirius' hair slightly. they both left the dormitory and walked down to the common room with the intention to leave to the great hall, however they were met by a small table that was put in front of the fireplace with breakfast food laying on it. they looked at each other exchanging weird looks.
"there was no point of making you leave the common room only to go down and eat when its only you too in the whole school" professor mcgonagall's voice spoke. she was sitting on an armchair wearing her usual green dressing gown. "well anyway, im going down to have breakfast with the rest of the teachers. you two have a merry christmas" she smiled slightly and left the common room.
remus and sirius were just left there standing stupidly in front of the food table.
"well, i guess we're not leaving. sit down lets eat im starving" sirius said sitting himself down and starting to eat toast. they both ate until they were full and just laid on their armchairs to take their breath.
"wanna open the parcel prongs sent?" remus asked after ten minutes of silence.
"uhh sure" sirius said, getting the parcels, handing remus one box and he opened the other one. he tore the wrapping and opened it, a smile breaking on his face.
"he got me a wand polishing set. oh and look, he got me some hair bands" remus laughed a little. sirius put the hair bands in his wrist.
"what are you laughing at, i love it" sirius smiled "what did he get you?"
"he got me part six of 'crows or crowns'. its my favorite book and he knows i couldn't find that volume anywhere" remus' face wore a very big smile from that present. "oh and look! he got me a vest, it's beautiful"
"i'll be wearing that" sirius said at once
"of course darling you can wear it whenever"
"remus open my gift!" sirius said with so much excitement, remus held the huge box wondering what he has inside. he stared at sirius before opening it, unsure of what will meet him when he opens it. his suspicion grew larger when he was met by a cheeky smiling sirius.
"its not gonna blow up in my face right?" remus laughed a little
"only one way to find out" sirius shrugged
"oh god" remus joked. he opened the box and the first thing he saw was a big box inside labeled 'book polishing kit' remus' face fell with shock.
"sirius! sirius is this a book polishing kit? oh my god" he was gasping. sirius felt his cheeks burn by the fond expression on remus' face.
"holy shit pads where did you get this, these are so rare and expensive" he held it close to his face examining it with so much excitement.
"shhh its a gift" sirius was kind of embarrassed fora reason he doesnt know. "theres more stuff"
remus looked inside the box and laughed out loudly when he saw at least a doesnt bars of chocolate.
"what are you laughing at! this is the muggle chocolate you told me you like" sirius said flustered a little.
"yes yes i love it" remus smiled. "thank you"
sirius shrugged, not knowing what to say in situations like this.
"um, right open my gift" remus said looking nervous. remus' gift was something a little different and not very expected, he spent a lot of time thinking whether its a good idea or not. hes so nervous for sirius to see it, he felt his stomach lurch so badly he might vomit. he handed sirius an a4 piece of parchment that was folded into quarters. sirius gave him a confused yet excited look.
"are you giving me your transfiguration homework as a christmas gift moony" he joked.
"oh shut up and open it" every fibre in remus' body was screaming in anticipation and nerves. sirius unfolded the paper and read:
"dear sirius,
i am writing this in the dormitory for the fifteenth time at least. i thought so much about this and decided that its perfect. six years ago when i laid eyes on you for the first time, you had this aura that carried so much charm, something about your stupid gorgeous personality was so seductive and made me in complete lust for you. there aren't enough words in the english language to explain how you make me feel, nothing will come close to describing how i feel when you slip in bed with me every night, when i play with your hair, when i hear your heartbeats, when i hold your hand and stroke it with my thumb, when you kiss my scars, when you sit next to me in class sit there looking pretty doing nothing. i came to the conclusion that every little thing you do has me in utter awe. no one has ever made me feel like that, for a long time i was so confused as to why and how you could do that so effortlessly. i was confused about how i felt about you for so long, i was so confused about myself, and you helped me come to terms with who i am, by being so unapologetically you. at the end of a hard day you're always there to cheer me up, even in my darkest days, when nothing felt like it'll be okay ever again, you're always fucking here to change that. the number of times you've saved my life sirius, i couldnt tell you, by just merely being here. i figured that no matter what happens and no matter where life takes me, i want to always be with you. i never want to see that day i have to depart you, i dont ever see it coming because not even the strongest force from the gods above will make me leave you. im in love with you. im so fucking in love you idiot. im in love with the way you talk, the way you tie your hair, the way you dress, the way your eyes crease when you smile, your bark like laugh, your stupid jokes that i find funny unironically, your chirped nail polish... just in love with you. so sirius, this is me asking, do you want to be my boyfriend?"
sirius read the letters at least three times to make sure he wasnt missing anything, to make sure he was reading it correctly. was remus asking him out? was remus actually in love with him? none of this felt real. sirius felt like he's seeing stars in his vision, like he was going to pass out any second right now. he looked up at remus who was staring attentively on him and watching his every reaction. he met eyes with him and felt like all the worlds oxygen was being drained.
"so?" remus asked, his voice quivering.
"so?" he repeated as if this was a incredulous thing so say, " fuck yes i wanna be your boyfriend" sirius threw himself on remus on his armchair and splattered him with kissed everywhere he could reach.
"i never thought id be the lucky person to actually end up dating you" sirius breathed
"please, im the lucky one here" remus rolled his eyes.
"i mean hell yeah you are" sirius said sarcastically.
the pair of them spent the rest of the day sitting on the armchair cuddled up with the heat of each other, sharing soft intimate touches every now and then. they spent the whole day in peace and delicacy and made the most out of each other’s company. soon enough before they knew it, the holidays were over and students were returning to hogwarts for their second term.
“hi remus! hey sirius, good holiday? how are you two?” james showered them with questions enthusiastically when they saw him come in the gryffindor common room, he seemed to be in a cheerful mood.
“yea, great holiday” remus mumbled finding himself an armchair and sitting in it. the rest followed and sat on armchairs around him but sirius sat on his lap which remus scooted over a little to make space for him. james and lily looked at each other rolling their eyes playfully but happy that theyre on good terms, unlike the last time they saw them.
“what about you two? and you wormy? how was ur holiday” remus asked calmly, playing with sirius’ hair absentmindedly.
“great we had a great a time, i invited lily and wormy over, wormy couldnt make it though. but lily and i had fun, my parents liked her a lot” james smirked looking at her. “obviously they knew her because i always talked about her to them, but they’ve never really- woah WOAH” james’ speach was cut abruptly when he saw sirius attach his lips to remus’ and remus kissed him back fondly. they all exchanged shocked looks but they werent too shocked, they knew something was happening between the pair of them.
“woah guys” james laughed as they broke the kiss apart and giggled at their reaction.
“yea um, remus and i are dating” sirius said, lookinh flustered slightly. remus was still playing with his hair softly.
“does that mea we can go on double dates?” james said at once
“james potter i am not going on double dates with you and sirius thank you very much” lily said sarcastically.
“suit yourself, james and i are going on dates” sirius shrugged
“james and you are what-“ lily looked confused but cant help a laugh.
“thats right evans” sirius said in a dignified tone.
“dont you talk to my girlfriend like that black!” remus said at once. they all laughed at the sitiuation but lily said with a serious voice, “guys im so happy for you, youre finally together” she smiled wamrly. remus and sirius scooted closer next to each other smiling back at her.
“really proud of my mates” james said, trying to keep a serious tone but smirking at the same time.

GODPARENTS | SPENCER REID
Tumblr media
Description: You’re a wonderful godmother, always have been. Nothing could distract you from that. Queue the entrance of the ultimate distraction: Godfather Spencer Reid.
Word Count: 2,757.
Rating: M.
Warning/Includes: Sexual intercourse.
Jennifer Jareau is the closest thing you’ve got to a big sister. Your parents had placed you in grief counseling shortly after a loss in the family. You were only nine, but it impacted greatly - you felt alone, misunderstood, lost, hurt, confused. Little did you know, a twelve-year-old JJ would be in the other room, distraught by the loss of her older sister. And once the two of you met, chatting, laughing, confessing your darkest secrets, you didn’t feel so alone anymore. Jennifer Jareau helped you heal, and you could only hope she’d say the same about you.
19 years later, with a friendship thick and strong as stone, she gave birth to your godson - Henry. She had asked you be his godmother long before her due date, insisting that there was no woman she trusted as much. You cried. You hugged her. You talked to her stomach. It was a good day.
The day Henry was born was even better. You met him just hours after his birth, and fell in love instantly. You kissed JJ on top of her head, told her she did such a good job, leaned in to hug Will and held your godson. He was the spitting image of his mother, and you cared for both of them immensely. However, with you living nearly an hour away at the time, your reunion with them was cut short.
By the time Henry turned one, you had a cozy Virginia apartment and went to see JJ as offen as possible. Even visiting Will and Henry when JJ was off on a case.
It wasn’t until Henry’s first birthday party that you met Spencer Reid. And everything began to fall apart.
JJ went all out. Balloons, bouncy houses, tons of food, tons of people, all gathered to celebrate little Henry. You, being the ditiful godmother, showed up with a bunch of presents in tow, ready to help JJ in any way you could.
Before having Henry blow out the candles on his birthday cake, Will and her took a family photo. “Okay!” She exclaimed. “[y/n], Spencer, come here! I want Henry to get a quick picture with both his godparents.”
You happily complied, skipping over to Henry with a great big smile on your face. Spencer was the first to introduce himself, “Hi,” he said, posing at Henry’s side with his vision focused on you. “I’m Spencer.”
“[y/n],” you smiled. “It’s nice to finally meet you, I’ve heard good things.”
“Same here,” he nodded.
You both crouched down to Henry’s level, smiling wide for the picture as JJ counted down, “Three, two, one!” She shouted, followed by the shutter of the camera. “Perfect! I’m getting that framed!”
You giggled at your friend’s excitement, looked at little Henry and gave him quick pecks all over his face. When you looked up at Spencer, he was watching you - a look of adoration on his face, a smile gracing his lips. You smiled back. And that’s how it started.
Later that night - when the lights had gone down, most of the guests had left, and the baby was asleep, - you were up in the guest room. Unpacking your bag, you listened to the distinct coversation between JJ and her coworkers - their laughs, the inside jokes, the bond.
Since it was adult time, you figured, one drink wouldn’t hurt. You pulled a small flask from your bag, checking the door before you stepped onto the balcony. You took in the view, and gulped down a considerable amount of alcohol, your nerves loosening by the second.
“Ah,” a voice called. “Holding out on us?”
You turned your body quickly, coming face to face with Spencer, who had his hands in his pockets and his shoulder leaned against the balcony threshold. You giggled, “Well, I didn’t really think this was a perfect first-birthday-party activity, y’know?”
“Oh, no, I know,” he nodded, closing the sliding door behind him as he stepped outside. Even under the moonlight, he was utterly beautiful. “Got enough to share?”
You raised your eyebrows at him, “Why, Spencer, I would’ve never taken you for the drinking type.”
“Only on special occasions,” he shrugged, taking the flask you handed him. He swallowed it down, with minimal reaction, and you felt your heartbeat between your legs. The breeze flew under your dress, making you shiver. “You cold?”
“Yeah, damn. It was just 80 degrees out. Now it’s freezing.”
“Here,” he said. “Take my sweater.”
You watched as he stripped the article of clothing from his shoulders, holding eye contact with you until your eyes trailed to his body. Stop that, you told yourself, stop looking at him like that, [y/n]. But you couldn’t. He was irresistible, and he knew it. When he’d completely removed the sweater, he was only left in a white button up, tucked into his belt buckle.
He didn’t even try to hand you the sweater. He dropped it to the ground, along with the flask, as you moved in to kiss him. His arms wrapped around your waist, and your hands held onto his face as you shoved your tongue into his mouth, moaning at the taste of him.
You excitedly began to fidget with his belt buckle, undoing his pants with phenomenal speed. He pushed you back against the wall, and you followed, so ready to go all the way with this man, the wait was unbearable. He kissed your neck as you freed his cock from his briefs, stroking him into a set erection.
Neither of you spoke a word.
He just picked you up, held you against the wall by your thighs, and kissed you as you pulled your dress up. You pulled your panties to the side and allowed him to put himself inside you. He buried his face in your shoulder, with you going cross-eyed from the intense feeling. You just barely remembered to stay quiet, whining into your mouth as he thrusted into you, hard.
You held onto his shirt for dear life, wrapping your legs around his waist and moving your hips against his. “Fuck,” you whispered. He grinned against your skin, using all his strength to pound you into the wall. Slowly, though, as to not alert his friends downstairs.
You reached down and rubbed your clit, your mouth instantly forming an ‘o’ shape and your head rolling back. Combine that with Spencer’s cock striking all the right places, and you were a puddle. Your legs trembled, but he held onto them, his hands big enough to nearly wrap around your entire thigh. The rush started in the pit of your stomach, then it spread through your clit, and then your entire body. And you came, weakly, almost violently against Spencer’s body.
He stopped after that, pulling out of you and placing your feet back on the concrete gently. Despite being in a daze, you grabbed onto his cock and jerked him off quickly, staring at him as you did it.
“[y/n]—“ he moaned. “I’m—I’m—“
He did. He exploded all over you. Your thigh, your dress. All while falling apart into a fit of groans, having to hold himself up on the wall just to keep from crumbling to the ground. You smirked at the sight of him, glad to have gotten him off.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered, looking into your eyes. “I’m sorry about your dress.”
You shook your head, “I needed to shower anyway,” you shrugged. “Go on, everyone’s probably wondering where you went.” You smiled.
He kissed you. Once before he fixed his pants. And twice before he actually left the room. He left his sweater. You wore it to bed that night, sipping happily on the forgotten flask.
In the morning, JJ made breakfast. Enough pancakes and eggs to feed you, the baby, and her. You kissed her cheek before taking a seat at the table, tickling Henry and earning a cute, little giggle from him.
“Where’s Will?” You asked.
“Where else? Work. He couldn’t get out of his shift today, but believe me, he tried.”
“Aw, poor, poor William. I hope he atleast had fun yesterday.”
“He did. We were both tired afterwards, but we had a good time. Thank you for being here.”
“Oh, c’mon, JJ, you know I wouldn’t miss it for anything in the world. Godmommy duties!”
“And I’m so glad you got to meet Spencer,” she said. You gulped. “I told you if anything ever happens to me and Will—“
“Then, it’s up to Spencer and I to make sure Henry gets into Yale. I remember.” You giggled.
“Exactly. Did you get to talk to him last night?”
You thought for a moment. You could tell her. But the baby was right there. And you clearly remembered her mentioning a date between her and Spencer years ago. Was it a can of worms you should open? You decided it wasn’t.
“Oh, no,” you shook your head. “Not as much as I wanted. I kind of went to bed early.”
“Ah, well, one day, I want you to meet the whole team. I think it’s about time. Don’t you?”
“Absolutely.”
Over a month later, there was no word from Spencer. You thought about him often though. Where was he, what was he doing, was he thinking of you. Sappy shit. Then, you remembered, you knew exactly where he was. And you chose to visit the bullpen for the very first time.
You put on your tightest pair of jeans - the ones that made your butt look perky - and a spaghetti strap blouse that highlighted your chest. JJ told you that you looked beautiful and embraced you in a warm hug.
“This is such a surprise!” She exclaimed. “What are you doing here?”
“I wanted to see you! See where you worked, who you worked with, all that jazz.”
“Oh,” she giggled, rising from her seat. “Then let me give you the grand tour.”
You followed her aimlessly, only partially listening to his guidance, as you were primarily concerned with seeing Spencer. “That’s Derek, Emily, Penelope is in her office, and you remember Spencer.” She said.
Your eyes instantly found Spencer at his desk, the profiler already eyeing you with a knowing smile. You smiled back, “Of course. Hi, everyone.”
“Back there is our break room. Coffee, doughnuts. Want some?” JJ asked.
“Oh, yeah, coffee sounds great.” You nodded.
“I’ll get you some,” Spencer suddenly offered, rising from his seat and heading off before you could object.
“A nice little place you run here, J,” you whispered.
She rolled her eyes, “I don’t run it.”
“Well, you should.”
Spencer strolled up to you, a small styrofoam cup in his hand, and a great smile on his face. “Here you go. I put in cream and sugar. Hope that’s okay.”
“That’s perfect,” you told him. “Thank you.”
“Spence, you remember [y/n] from Henry’s birthday party? She’s his godmother.”
“Ah, so the one that’s going to help Henry get into Yale?” He chuckled.
You shook your head, “Me? No, no. I could barely get into community college. That’s all on you.”
The three of you laughed, and JJ shook her head at you. “Are you free for a quick lunch?” She asked.
“Of course! You ready?”
Your friend nodded and swung her arm over your shoulder as the two of you walked away. Spencer watched you as you stepped onto the elevator, taking a sip of your coffee. Only then, did you notice the slip of paper tucked into the lid. It contained a string of numbers, signed - Spencer :). You looked up at him, just as the elevator doors were closing.
The night, you called him. He came over. You had sex in a bed for the first time. And it was just as good as you remembered it. If not better. His hands pressed into your thighs, your legs bent over your head as he drilled into you, the sweat from his body dripping onto yours. Your tongues tangled with one another’s, your hands gripped at anything they could. It was hot. It was satisfying. You came twice, and Spencer came with his cock in your mouth.
As the two of you laid there afterwards, cuddled up and out of breath, Spencer kissed your forehead. “Missed you.” He said.
You hid your face as you grinned. “Uh, do you want your sweater back?”
“No. You keep it. Think of me when you see it.”
Little did he know that you thought about him all the time.
2 months later, his number was on speed dial in your phone. The job kept him busy most days, but weekends belonged to you. You’d be at his apartment friday to sunday, miss him for a week, and then fall into the same routine. It was bliss.
You’d be laying beside each other, completely fucked out and attempting to calm your breathing. “Do you—“ Spencer huffed. “Do you want kids some day?”
You furrowed your eyebrows together, sat up slowly and looked down at him. “Where the hell did that come from, Spencer?”
He shrugged, “I see how you are with Henry. Why don’t you have any of your own?”
You laughed, “Is that your way of saying you want to impregnate me?”
“Oh, don’t think that I haven’t thought about it,” he whispered, reaching over to hug you. “Go on a date with me, [y/n].”
You watched him say the words out loud, processing what it meant, waiting for your response. “A date?” You replied.
“A real date. Let me pick you at your place, and take you dancing, a movie, dinner, something. No sex involved.”
“No sex involved?”
“I mean,” he smirked. “Unless you want?”
“Hm, no, Spencer Reid, I’m not that kind of girl. You’re gonna have to wait until the fifth date for that.”
You made it to the fourth date before having sex again. But to be fair, those four dates were spectacular. Movies, dancing, dinner, some coffee dates sprinkled in. You were happy. And JJ could tell.
“Tell me who he is, [y/n].” JJ ordered, chuckling as she fixed you a cup of tea.
“Who? I told you, there’s no one. There’s no guy.”
“I call bullshit,” she shook her head. “You have been walking around way too happy and way too cocky to not be having sex with someone.”
“J—“
“And not to mention how many times you’ve blown me off to see him.”
“I did not blow you off.”
“Sorry, J,” she mocked your voice. “‘I’ve got an early day tomorrow.’ You? An early day on a Saturday?”
“I wanted to run some errands!”
She turned to you, “Errands? Now I know you’re seeing someone!”
“You’re crazy, J.”
You hated to lie to JJ. But it wasn’t the right time. Besides, at that point, 6 complete months had passed since Henry’s birthday party and you worried the lapse in time would upset her. There would be a time and place to announce the relationship.
4 months later - when you told JJ you were moving - she asked where to, and you still didn’t say ‘oh, Spencer’s place.’ Instead, you just told her it was close to her work.
Another 2 months passed and Henry was turning two. JJ insisted you come over to help her set up decorations the night before. You stepped on a ladder, hanging up Henry’s name in big, floppy letters.
“Hey, [y/n], did you pick up some wall tacks on your way over? I want to start putting up the other decorations.” JJ said.
“Yeah, they’re in my car. My keys are on the couch.”
JJ nodded, grabbed your keys and stepped out of the house to retrieve the items. You finally put up the letter ‘Y’ and stepped down to admire your handy work. You began to clean up the trash off the floor, packing into a large grocery bag and laying it to the side. You heard the door close, signaling JJ’s return.
“Hey, J,” you said, rummaging through the bag of decor. “Did you find the wall tacks? My car’s a little junky. And if you think that’s bad, you should see my room.” You laughed.
When you didn’t get a response after a few seconds, you turned around to look at JJ. She was standing here, holding a small item in her hand. Her face had lost its color and her breathing was still. She couldn’t - wouldn’t - look you in the eye.
“Why...” she started. “Is Spencer’s badge in your car?”

Timing ( Draco x Reader
Tumblr media
Summary: Draco ends up marrying Astoria in a arranged marriage, making you give up on love. He thinks he’ll never see you again... Until he learns you’re a professor at Hogwarts.
Rain hit the window as you stared off at the setting sun. Today was quite frankly the hardest of your fucking life. Months of arguing, screaming and crying just to be met with more sadness. Draco had to marry Astoria, there was no way around it. You all stalled it for as long as you possibly could. But it didn't work. Astoria honestly felt terrible about this whole thing. You all went to the same school together, she knew Draco loved you. She knew he wanted to marry you. He wouldn't even look at Astoria during the rehearsal, much less today. The worst part about all of this was you had to find out from a newspaper. Molly saw it and she froze. She knew the letters from Draco just went dead, you didn't know why and the next thing you knew this was happening. You sat in Ginny's room, looking out the window with this numb expression. A knock sounded off at the door and Harry walked in. "Hey..." He said softly. You didn't respond, fiddling with a silver locket Draco gave you in your fourth year. "How are you feeling?" Harry asked. You rested your head on the edge of the wall next to the window. "I'm fine." You said, voice low because your throat hurt from the crying. "Aside from the pain, the anguish, the fact that I have been trying to figure out what I've done wrong to make him stop talking to me just to find out this, the fact that I spent four years planning my life with him, the fact that that should be me, the fact that I can't stop hurting and the fact that it feels like I'm suffocating, I feel fine." You said, yanking off the locket and throwing it across the room. You ran your fingers through your hair.
This went on for MONTHS. No one dared to tell you that your feelings were invalid or tell you that this was overreacting. Because it wasn't. You sacrificed so much, giving and giving, again and again. The Weasleys' watched you tear yourself apart. You slowly went back to your normal self, becoming a professor at Hogwarts and teaching Astronomy. But you nearly snapped again when you found out Astoria was pregnant. You taught, watching new students fill your seats every year. You loved your kids like they were your own. You never minded speaking with them in class on personal matters. They always loved hearing about your life. "Miss Y/n, I have a question?" a student asked. "Yes Dalia?" you asked. "For a report I have to say each faculty member's Patronus. What's yours?" She asked. You stopped writing and turned around with a pained smile that was hard to miss. "I'm afraid I'm unable to produce a Patronus." You admitted. "O-oh. S-sorry!' She apologized. "It's quite alright dear." you said before turning back to your work.
Then it finally happened. Eleven years had passed and you knew exactly what had to happen. You walked down the platform, getting ready to ride in a cart with faculty members when you saw those silver eyes. You almost called Mcgonagall then and there telling her "Can't teach anymore. Sorry." He looked at you, a very sad expression on his face as his son ran onto the train. Luckily Snape noticed this and tapped your shoulder, breaking the stare and making you get on the train. It was so funny to you. Growing up you were so afraid of Snape, terrified of that stone cold glare. Now you worked with him and actually came to see him as a friend. Pain the ass at times, but a friend to you indeed. You sat in a empty cart. "E-excuse me." A voice said. You looked up and saw silver eyes, making you nearly jump out of your skin. "All of the other carts are full... Can I sit in here?" The boy asked. You nodded and he seemed fixated on you while you read. "Can I ask you something?" he asked. "Yes?" You asked. "Are you Y/n L/n?" He asked. ".... Yes I am." You said. "You know my father then." the boy nodded. Oh don't tell me-- "I'm Scorpius Malfoy." He introduced. Oh God. Oh GOD. "Yes... I know who your parents are." You nodded. "Dad is always mentioning how much fun you two had in school together." Scorpius said making you grip your book tightly. "Yes, your father and I were good friends Scorpius." You admitted. You reached into your pocket, gripping a pager. It was a new thing amongst the teachers. Two clicks for help. One for possible assistance needed. You clicked it once. "You're in a lot of yearbook photos too with him." Scorpius added. You gripped the device "Is it true you two dated?" Scorpius asked, you clicking the button twice. "I-I" you halted. "U-uhm--" Finally the door slid open, Snape seeing you on the verge of screaming. He sighed and sat down. "Thank you." You whispered. "Do not call me again." He spat out.
Scorpius wouldn't stop with these questions in the year though. He'd stay behind in class and ask you until he HAD to leave. You didn't hate the boy, no. You actually adored him. Scorpius had a bright mind, always curious and bright eyed, almost reminding you of yourself. Maybe that's why you answered his questions. Maybe that's why you allowed him to sit in your room during lunch and talk to you. "Is it true your best friend was a seeker in his first year?" Scorpius asked. How much did Draco tell this kid? "Yep. Damn good one too." You chuckled. Scorpius ate a bag of chips and you finally had a question for the curious boy. "Scorpius. Why have you never mentioned your mother?" You asked. Scorpius rose a brow. "You didn't hear? Dad divorced a few years ago, mum left." Scorpius said. You nearly knocked over your ink vial and your jaw almost dropped. "They're divorced!?" You asked. "Yeah. Like... Four years ago. Made sense, neither of them seemed remotely interested in each other. Honestly I don't know how I even exist as their kid." Scorpius admitted. The next few classes that day were hard to get through. Draco was of course on your mind, of fucking course. "Miss Y/n? I asked a question?" a student said "Hmm? Yes?" You cleared your throat. "Where is the Orion's belt again?" They asked.
You absolutely dreaded the week even more as time passed. But by far the worst day was when Scorpius got into a fight and you of course were the teacher that had to sit down and talk to his father. Snape watched you go from professional to a professional wreck in two minutes. "Pull yourself together woman. You act like this is your first time interacting with another human." Severus snapped. "I haven't seen Draco in almost twelve years Severus, I am losing my mind here!" You groaned. "He's here." Severus noticed through the window. "What!? No no no I'm not prepared--" "If you can deal with those god forsaken son's of Fred and George you can deal with this." He snapped before leaving. You were so not prepared for any of this-- oh God the door is opening.
There he was, blonde hair still in that silver tint, those eyes looking at you wide. "Y/n--" "Please sit." You motioned to the chair in front of your desk. He nodded, sitting down and you sat, tapping your finger on your desk. "SOooo" Christ woman, could you be any more awkward!? "Scorpius got into a fight Tuesday, its been resolved, nice to have you here, grab a stale doughnut on the way out." you said quickly. "Uhm... Y/n, we have to talk about why he did it, which I'm not quite clear on. Actually I'm not even sure what happened, Scorpius is usually so kind." Draco said. God damn it. You ran a hand over your face and sighed. "Scorpius punched another kid in Slytherin. Apparently the other student insulted Rose and he just sucker punched him." You explained. "Ah. See that sounds more like him." Draco nodded. "I vouched for him. This won't appear on a record for school." You assured. "Why was I called here?" Draco asked. "Honestly? I have no clue, the situation worked itself out." you shrugged. Draco was looking at you and you gulped. "How have you been?" Draco asked. You opened your mouth but your pager went off three times. Another fight. "Oh no." you sighed, getting up and cracking your knuckles. Draco rose a brow as you left. A few minutes later three students were dragged in... Including Scorpius. "Dad!?" Scorpius asked. "What the hell did you do now!?" Draco asked. "Same reasoning as before. Honestly it's Henry Goyle, I can't say I'm surprised." You groaned. "I'm so sorry Miss Y/n!" Rose said. "Wait, why were you brought in?" You asked. "I punched Goyle, not Scorpius." She said making your eyes go wide. "I'm here because I kind of... Encouraged it?" Scorpius admitted. "Christ." Draco sighed. "I didn't know you were here!" Scorpius said. "That is not making your case any better Scorpius!" Draco said. "Goyle, go to Mcgonagall, Rose I'll contact your parents, Scorpius. SIT." You finally said. The kids all scurried and Scorpius sat next to Draco. "What in the hell happened this time kid?" You asked. Draco rose a brow. "Well Goyle insulted Rose again. I wanted to punch him but all I saw was Rose scream 'that's it' and then she punched him." Scorpius said. You blinked a few times. "And you encouraged her?" You asked. "I mean... I say it was justified." Draco muttered. "You would know. He got that from you." You muttered making Scorpius smirk. But then he saw his dad do something very rare. He genuinely smiled. You felt your cheeks heat up. Scorpius was dismissed, again leaving you and Draco alone. "You can go if you want, the meeting is over." You breathed, smacking your head on your desk. "Y/n..." Draco said. Why did he have to say your name? Why? "Hmm?" you asked. "You do realize I'm going to work here next fall right?" He asked. Your eyes widened. "What?" You asked. "I'm a healer. I'm working with Pomfrey." Draco said. "Sooooooo. What I'm hearing is: You're now going to be dealing with Harry's son!" You said. Draco laughed. God you missed that. He got up, a small ping of disappointment arriving. "Hopefully no more visits will be required. But I definitely think we should catch up sometime." Draco said. You chuckled. "My next break isn't until the school year ends." You sighed. "Then we will see each other at the start." Draco said. You watched him leave and you let out a long sigh. "God damn it!" you groaned.
Sure enough, that next school year, Draco was on the train in a cart with you. Just you. You were pretending to read but you couldn't focus. Not with Draco being there. Looking at you. "Scorpius said something interesting to me a few months ago, mind answering this?" Draco asked. "Hmm?" You asked. "He told me you couldn't produce a Patronus." Draco said. ".... That's true I lost the ability to do that after..." You cleared your throat and looked at your book when it registered with Draco what you were getting at. "So... You never married?" Draco asked. You cleared your throat, tempted to page for Snape. "I didn't." You said. "Any reason as to why?" Draco asked. "Because I gave up on it." You snapped. Draco blinked a few times as you sank back into your seat and lifted up your book.
You for the most part were able to avoid Draco. At least then you wouldn't have to answer his questions. Well that planned backfired after you got injured from a wonderful little prank went wrong, leading to you having a burn on your arm. You came in and Draco rose a brow, noticing you holding your arm. "What happened here?" He asked before seeing the burn. It was bad. Like bad bad. "I am going to kill Goyle for having a son." You groaned. Draco grabbed bandages and then an ointment. "Alright, don't scream." he said. "Wow, did we suddenly go back into a broom closet in our fourth year?" You asked making Draco nearly drop the bottle and blush crimson. "glad to see that still works." you thought to yourself. Draco shook it off and he stuck out his arm. "Hold on." he said. "why?" You asked. "You'll need something to hold onto, we're out of stress balls." Draco said. You gripped his arm... Was he always this muscular-- "OW MOTHER--" You gripped his arm and winced. "You've got three more drops of this." Draco warned. "Distract me! Please, for the love of god." You whined. "Uhhhh-- Astoria and I divorced." Draco said as the next drop was poured. You gripped his arm again. "S-Scorpius told me-- Fuck that burns!" you groaned. "She left me for Blaise, weirdly enough." Draco said. He poured the next drop. "Not a smart woman-- OW-- What the hell is this stuff!?" You asked. "ointment, makes the wound heal faster." Draco said, disregarding the comment on Astoria. "Last one." Draco said. "Just do it dude." You whined. "I have to add something else to this one, it will hurt worse." He warned, turning around to grab something. "I thought the purpose of a medic was to take away pain not add to it!" You groaned. He turned back around, again, extending his arm. You gripped it. "any particular reason you brought up your divorce?" You asked. "Didn't know if you knew." he answered, looking at your burn mark for something. "Why should I know if you're divorced or not?" You asked. "I don't know Y/n, why do I know that you gave up on love?" Draco asked you. "... Touche." You said. He dropped the last bit and you gripped his arm, panting as you did. "Christ- Tell me that's over!" you winced. "It is. But you're going to have to stay here a couple of days. You cannot use your arm. I need you hear because what ever burned you is reacting to something and I need to make sure it doesn't get worse." Draco said to you. "Sure you're not doing this to be near me?" You asked jokingly. He chuckled. "That may be one of the many factors." He admitted making your face burn up.
Well it wasn't as fun as that made it sound. Something in that little prank went wrong and it caused you to wake up with the wound infecting. "Draco- Ow ow ow!" You whined. You were now sweating from the pain. "Y/n focus on me! Okay? This is going to hurt." He warned. "Just shut up and do something because it HURTS!" You groaned. He used something on it making you grip his arm. You panted, sweat dripping off of you as he cleaned the wound and wrapped it. "Are you okay?" He asked. You closed your eyes, smacking your head on your pillow and sighing. "If I kill Goyle will you help me?" You asked. He chuckled, sitting next to your bed in a chair. "I'll bring the shovel." He nodded making you grin.
You finally fell asleep, Draco looking at your wound but mostly him watching you. You were in his life again. Thank. God. When Astoria left him a part of Draco wanted to go out and find you himself. Then he messaged the Weasleys', asking FINALLY "Is she okay!? Someone tell me she's okay and well" Harry was the one that told him everything. You not seeing anything, you giving up, the damage that was caused by him leaving and you having to fix it, the crisis you went through when Astoria was pregnant, seeing him last year. Draco didn't want your efforts to be in vain. So he didn't say anything. But God damn it was so hard when you were around.
You had a slow recovery, most days involved Draco seeing you read. Your students were always walking in, asking about you. You always told them not to worry and that everything would be normal soon. You were so gentle with them. But by far his favorite thing to see was you interact with Scorpius. You clearly were close, you cracking jokes with the boy. He would smile and laugh, talking with you. Draco hated his marriage to Astoria. But Scorpius was the one good thing that came from it and he wouldn't trade him for the world. Scorpius was noticing strange moments between you and Draco, seeing his father legitimately smile on a regular basis. You were also smiling now, the burning hatred for the world seeming to fade. You seemed happier and everyone was beginning to notice. But you were very happy when you could FINALLY teach again. Your students were excited but Draco would have to come to you and check your wounds, giving you medications for it.
You looked up and smiled seeing him walk in. "That time again?" You asked. "Yep. Are you sure we should do this in front of students though? You tend to swear." Draco asked. "Like that's stopped her before!" A student said making you roll your eyes. "I don't--" "The fairy incident." Another student said. "....Touche you little shit." You said making the class laugh. Draco shook his head with a smile and unwrapped your arm. You kept teaching though even as he was poking around the wound. "Can anyone tell me where the sagittarius constellation is?" You asked before feeling Draco apply the ointment. "It's--" "Give me just one moment Gavin-- OW!" You breathed. "Focus on your students it's almost over." Draco told you. "Answer now-- Mother f--" you gripped Draco's hand earning a few students to watch. His hand was calloused but still soft... "it's... It's RA 19h 0m 0s | Dec -25° 0′ 0″.. ma'am..." The boy answered noticing you and Draco. "Th-thank you! Why don't we add a fun little challenge of NOT MAKING ME CONTEMPLATE MURDER!?" you said gripping his hand again. Draco was almost having a hard time focusing with you holding his hand... It was so much smaller than his, it was honestly cute. Scorpius smirked to himself. "Hey, dad distract her with something before she actually chokes you." Scorpius said earning looks from other people. "Did you just call him DAD!?" someone asked. "He's Draco Malfoy dipshit, yes he called his father dad." Another student said. "Y/n you're beginning to cut off circulation." Draco said trying to ignore the students. "So wait, Draco is Scorpius' dad, is Y/n his wife or something--" "NO!" both of you said in unison earning the class to watch you two. "Really? You seem close, especially in the old year books." A student said. "Why were you looking at yearbooks?" Another student asked. "School project. Y/n and Mister Malfoy are in it and they seem really close." A student said. "My dad said they used to date." Rose said making you shoot daggers at the girl. "Wait you two used to date!?" Someone else asked. Draco gave you a "Should we tell them?" Look. "Yes! We did, but that was a long time ago!" You said as Draco finally finished, allowing you to breathe. "I swear to God this doesn't get any easier!" You groaned. "You nearly breaking my hand doesn't help either." Draco teased and you shook your head. You sighed. "So.... Mister Malfoy is your ex... Who's divorced... And single?" A student asked, suggesting you do something. "Don't you even go there kid!" You snapped earning a look from Draco. "It was a long time ago, we're just friends." Draco said calmly. "Are you sure about that?" Scorpius asked making Draco frown. "Yes. I'm sure." Draco said. Still Scorpius continued. "With how much you talk about her, are you sure that's the case?" Scorpius asked earning the whole class's attention. You facepalmed and groaned. "I do not--" "After my parent teacher conference you wouldn't stop asking about her-- you wrote to the Weasleys dad-- you don't like the Weasleys!" Scorpius said earning you to look at him. "Scorpius. Stop." Draco demanded. "I'm not just going to stop okay! Mom's gone! She left, she made it clear! An opportunity is at your damn door-- TAKE IT!" Scorpius said making Draco let out a long sigh. "I am going to kill my son." Draco sighed. "It is not that easy." You said to him. "Both of you are single and near each other, how is this not easy--" "Because the damage has been done Scorpius." You said earning looks from everyone. You sighed. "Class dismissed." You sighed, this exhausted look on your face. "We have--" "CLASS. DISMISSED." you snapped. Your students left, leaving you alone with Draco.
"Your work is done why are you still here?" You asked. "I'm sorry I never told you." Draco said. You shook your head. "about what Draco?" You asked, this pained expression that honest to God broke this man's heart as you looked at him. "About Astoria... Father wanted me to cease contact with you after Astoria’s father agreed to the marriage." He explained. "I don't need to hear this Draco." You said, gripping the pager. "I should've told you, smoke signaled, God-- something." Draco said. "Just stop! Okay!" You begged. "Draco what happened, happened. The damage is done, I'm okay now-- Stop bringing this up!" You begged. "Y/n... I didn't want to leave you--" "Please." You whimpered. He saw those eyes, those painfully broken eyes. You were emotionally exhausted. "I'm sorry... I'll leave you be." He apologized. He walked to the door. "If I could change everything, I would." He said before leaving. You were left in an empty classroom, throwing everything off your desk and burying your face in your hands. Damn it. Damn it damn it damn it.
You ended up asking Mcgonagall for the week off, practically begging her. Considering you didn't even leave the school for holidays she allowed it. Draco was frustrated, Fred ending up being the substitute teacher. The students were concerned about all of this. You never took off. Ever. So why now? A week passed and you finally returned, a depressed state being clear. Everyone felt really sad looking at you. You looked so exhausted, you wouldn't even look in the same direction as the Medical wing. Scorpius felt guilty, knowing exactly what the cause of this was. You seemed to loathe having Draco in your classroom, making any talk of your love life off limits. Today was different though. Draco resorted to giving you a pain medication after a while so you wouldn't have to use the ointment. He walked in with a glass of water and a glass of the medication. "I have a question... It's personal." A student said. "Love life is off limits Claire." You said. "It's not about that, it's about a club you were in?" She asked. "Hmm?" You asked, drinking the disgusting medication. "Were you in chorus?" She asked. You nearly coughed it up and Draco was having a hard time not smiling. "Y-Yes I was." You muttered. "So you can sing?!" Another student asked. "Yes." Draco nodded. Everyone was giggling at this. "Were you in it Mister Draco?" A student asked. "Well--" "He wasn't." You coughed. "Ah. So he can't sing?" Scorpius asked. Draco gave him a "Really?" look. "No I never said that. I said he wasn't in chorus." You said before drinking the glass of water. "He plays piano though." You coughed out earning a smile from him. "And guitar." You added making him freeze. "Oh God. Oh God no." Draco winced. "If I could be anywhere" you hummed making him facepalm. "Make it stop." He groaned. "OH MY GOD YOU WROTE THAT SONG!?" Scorpius asked. Draco smacked his head onto your board and groaned against the wall. "I've been wondering why Rose hums that damn song! She said Fred taught it to her!" Scorpius said earning a snort from you. "I am going to kill Fred!" Draco groaned. "ROSE! SING IT WITH ME!" You shouted. "NO!"
"IF I HAD A PLANE, THEN WHERE WOULD I FLY TO!?" Rose said standing up and making the class erupt into laughter. "IF I HAD TO USE MY BRAIN FOR SOMETHING ELSE, TELL ME WHAT WOULD I DO?" You sang, wheezing through the lyrics as Draco was repeatedly smacking his head on the wall. "AND IF I HAD A STRANGE CONVERSATION WITH A LADY IN A WAITING ROOM ABOUT LEAVING ALL THIS DOOM AND GLOOM!" Scorpius screamed making his father practically die inside. The class was watching this disaster in front of them, laughing the entire time as you sang the lyrics off key. Draco watched you with a smile as you laughed. "Serenade us won't you?" You teased. He let out a long sigh, walking towards the door. "If I could be anywhere, I'd be there with you." He sang making you laugh and the class practically scream.
"TAKE MY CHANCES, FAKE MY GLANCES, WAKE THOSE ANSWERS ANYWHERE BUT" All of you sang laughing the entire time. You all were laughing so hard you couldn't finish the damn song and Draco shook his head. "I cannot believe you still remember that song." He said. "Fred sings it in the shop HORRIBLY all the time when you're brought up. He calls you guitar boy." You snorted making Draco shake his head. "who was the song for?" A student asked. Both of you froze and you coughed. "Off limits!" You coughed out, providing the students with a obvious answer in the response. "I wonder if we can introduce it to the chorus teacher--" "NO!" Draco said.  "PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO IT!" you laughed. "Alright you-- I have plenty of embarrassing stories on you!" Draco said. "Psh. These kids already know my life story." You said, highfiving a kid. "Oh? So they know about the hair dye incident?" Draco asked. Your face dropped and he laughed. "Knew it." He said. "What's the hair dye incident!?" Scorpius asked. "I was quite the meddlesome child growing up. I would occasionally prank people and I decided to prank Y/n one day." Draco said. "Oh God no." You groaned. "So I swapped out her shampoo with hair dye. She had blue hair for a week." Draco said. "that doesn't sound so bad." A student said. "It gets worse." You whined. "she decided to get revenge and for a week and a half my hair was green." Draco said. "Well, we got crafty with each other and it seemed like with each new week one of us had a new hair color... And then I switched shampoos." Draco said. You groaned. "I accidentally dyed Snape's hair neon red." You said making the class nearly piss themselves. "it wasn't that bad." Draco said. "Not that bad-- Draco he looked like a raggedy Ann doll for two weeks!" You said making the class die of laughter. "Did you two get into trouble a lot?" Scorpius asked. "Welllllllll" you said. "Not exactly." Draco said. "Not for pranking necessarily." You coughed. "Oh my God." Rose snorted, catching your drift. "Wha-- OHHHHHH." Scorpius gasped making both of you glare at him. "...You two have been caught shagging!?" A kid asked making you nearly scream and Draco choke on air. "HAVE A NICE DAY GUYS!" you said dismissing the class. You laughed and shook your head. "I cannot believe you still remember that song." Draco said. You chuckled. "You wrote it for me... Was it good? Meh. Not bad for a fourth year. But of course I remember it." You said finally. Draco smiled. "Our conversation... Last time... I'm sorry if I hurt you." He said. You sighed and looked up. "...It still hurts Draco. To hear about this. But I can't change the past." You said softly. "I can't ignore it either, your son is in my class." You shrugged. Draco swallowed and walked back to your desk, picking up the glasses. ".... I miss you." Draco said softly making you halt. "Draco..." You swallowed hard and turned back to him. He was closer, this exhausted look resting on his face. "Draco I...." You let out a long shaking breath. "When you weren't here I almost went insane... I didn't realize how much I missed you until you were gone-- Y/n I don't want to leave you, not again." He said. Your next set of students started shuffling in and you cut your attention away.
You never addressed that conversation, afraid that you'd say the wrong thing. Your burn on your arm was thankfully nearly healed. Draco walked in. "Today's the day." He said. "Last sip of this disgusting shit! Wooh!" You said making the students laugh. "And the last time I'll have to change the bandages." He chuckled. You downed the last glass and coughed. "God that is horrible, it's like doing shots at Fleur's wedding all over again." You coughed making Draco snort. "ooohhh Miss Y/n, you drank?" A student teased. "I deal with your asses all day, yes I drink." You said making the class laugh. "I drink to forget--" "But I always remember." You and Draco said, making each other laugh. Scorpius sighed. He just wanted to see his two favorite people happy. This was the last week of school, something had to be done. Draco switched the bandages and you turned back to the chalk board once he was finished, writing something down. Panic set in watching his dad leave and Scorpius stood up making a noise as his chair scooted back. You turned around. "....Scorpius if you start quoting 'The Dead poets society' I'm leaving..." you said. "Dad loves you." Scorpius said making you nearly drop the chalk and Draco frowned. "Scorpius what in God's name are you doing!?" Draco asked. "I can't take it anymore! You haven't stopped talking about each other, I know you love her so would ONE OF YOU JUST SAY SOMETHING!?" Scorpius said. You swallowed hard and looked at Draco. "You're not correcting him?" You asked. "He's not lying." Draco answered making the entire class hold their breath. "I can't do this." You breathed. "Y/n I've already told you my opinions." He said. "Your emotions are running high, you've got to be delusional--" "Y/n." "or something because I can't just pretend like almost thirteen years haven't passed and--" "Y/n." Draco said, walking forward. "I can't keep waiting on you to answer Draco! I can't keep waiting for you to just show up and make things better because you can't!" You said as Draco stood in front of you. "Do you really think this will work, after all of these years, that we can make this work, that we can help each other heal and that I'll just cry in your arms and let you love me!?" You asked. "You don't have to cry." Draco said, holding your cheek. "Oh yes I do." You whimpered before Draco finally kissed you making everyone lose their shit. "FINALLY!" Scorpius breathed, sitting back down. He pulled away, looking in your eyes, brushing away the tears. "I'm not going anywhere Y/n." He whispered, looking in your eyes. You sniffed a couple of times and Draco did something you never thought would happen. He pulled out a ring. "OH. MY. GOD." Rose gasped. "Draco--" "Y/n, will you do the honor--" "Have you actually lost your mind?" "of being my wife--" "You've finally lost it haven't you!?" "because you're already my soulmate?" He asked. You let out shaking breaths. "Did you just walk around with that thing in your pocket!?" You asked. "I brought it with me when I found out I was going to be working with you." He said making a few students coo. You let out a long breath. "You're insane." You breathed. "If I remember correctly, you said you liked crazy." Draco reminded. You cracked a smile through the tears and you nodded. "Yes you fumbling idiot!" You said. "YES! HOLY SHIT THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG!" Scorpius said making you laugh as you hugged Draco.
You two got married that summer, Scorpius being happy and taking FULL credit for being the reason you two were now together. Molly was SOBBING the entire time at the wedding, watching you two finally be together after all of these years. Even Snape had a hard time hiding a smile as you were with Draco. You two ended up having another child, Artemis Wisteria Malfoy. Scorpius adored his little sister too, loving you as his mother. You were so much happier in the class room, smiling every day. You finally answered the burning question of that the hell your Patronus was, proving even further that you were happier.
Draco leaned against a doorway watching you read to Scorpius and Artemis, a beautiful smile on your face as you did. You laughed at one of the lines in the book, making Scorpius and Artemis laugh in the process. You finally noticed Draco and smiled, him sitting next to you as he picked up your hand and kissed it, watching you laugh and smile. This was love. This was pure incandescent love and he wouldn't trade this for anything.

Damn shawty, you definitely thicc.
A ReddNook weight gain fic.
Words: 2306
Description: Tom gets injured and has to sit on his ass for a couple months and work from home and Redd is making sure Tom doesn’t “Starve”
Warnings: people with climacophobia/traumatophobia this is definitely not your jam, mentions of a blowjob (I’m too unsure to actually write it out, I’m sorry), weight gain (duh), Tom Nook vs Ladder, prOfAniTieS, Redd AND Isabelle enjoy groping Tom’s fat don’t @ me on that.
A/N: depending on how well this does, I might write a part two. Also I had help brainstorming!
Ps: Imagine how good my grades would be if I wrote my assignments this quick and handed them in before the deadline.
_
Tom had rushed out of the door, realizing he was about to be too late if he didn’t hurry up to the Resident Services. His large breakfast still sat rather heavy in his stomach which made his stomach hurt slightly as he speed walked but he had a lot to get done today.
He was a little surprised to see that Isabelle hadn’t arrived yet, in the meantime he walked to the backroom so he could brew himself some coffee. He heard a dripping noise, thanks to his enhanced hearing. Looking up he noticed a hole in one of the pipes and sighed to himself.
Tom still felt rather tired and his movements were rather slow and sluggish as he made his way to the basement to get a ladder. He put the ladder against the wall and climbed it up, surprised by how.. Exhausting it seemed now.
Meanwhile Isabelle came in and smiled softly to herself when she saw Tom’s stuff already on his desk.
Crash!
A slight groan in both pain and annoyance.
Her smile faded immediately and she rushed into the backroom, she noticed the chunky Tanuki lying on the floor under a leaking pipe and a broken ladder.
“Tom! Are you alright?!” Isabelle asked in shock.
“I’m doing splendid! It’s not like my leg is twisted at an unnatural angle, hm?.. Couldn’t be me! Yes, yes.” Tom said in slight annoyance.
_._._.
After a couple nights in the hospital Tom was back home, his leg was broken.. Which obviously wasn’t ideal. He had to work from home and either Redd, Timmy or Tommy had to deliver his paperwork to Isabelle every evening.
He’d been spending roughly a week at home and it had been rather peaceful to his surprise, Redd was distracting him sometimes for.. Other things or he was making Tom food. Good food, a lot of food and of course Tom lacked self-restraint so he often just ended up accidentally stuffing himself when he was working. Sometimes to the point he had to unbutton his progressively tighter pants.
“Hey, Nookie~ I got you your favorite coffee and doughnuts, they’re still warm.” Redd said to his quite chunky boyfriend.
“I told you to not call me that! But, thank you, hm.” He said, as he filed papers. Eyeing the mess on the desk.
“Enjoy your doughnuts, I’ll be in the kitchen making lunch for you.” Redd said, smirking to himself before leaving the room. His plan was working.
After a couple of minutes of diligently working, Tom grabbed a donut and ate it. He moaned as the incredible flavor hit him. He had a huge sweet tooth, especially when it came to pastries.
Therefore he devoured those 6 doughnuts within 30 minutes, feeling quite stuffed. His pants were uncomfortable and he just unbuttoned them. The coffee gave him a boost of energy which is something he desperately needed as the huge snack he just had seemed to make him tired. He groaned and rubbed his stomach.
He took a breather. Then returned to filing papers and making the occasional call.
He wasn’t even hungry before Redd barged in with a nice and full plate of pasta and tomato sauce.. With loads of cheese on it.
“Redd.. I’m actually still quite stuffed.” Tom said as he shifted his weight in his chair, it creaked slightly and he didn’t actually pay attention to it.
“Awe, come on Tom. You wouldn’t want to eat cold pasta now, do you? You don’t have to eat all of it, just eat as much as you can! ” Redd told him.
“Fine! Just put it on the table.. I’ll eat it. Thank you, yes, yes.” Tom said and continued with his work. He somehow felt hungry again.. Or did he just feel the need to eat? Or was it boredom.
Redd smiled at the Tanuki, “I’ll pick up Timmy and Tommy later, but I’ll tell you before I leave. “ Redd said.
“That’s splendid..” Tom said as he grabbed the plate of pasta and began to eat. He was eating out of stress and boredom more than anything else. He failed to notice how much his belly was pushing out, making the fact evident he unbuttoned his pants.
“You need some bigger pants, Nookie~?” Redd said in a slightly teasing tone.
“No.. I’m just bloated. I guess it’s the lack of movement, hm?” Tom said, he ACTUALLY was convinced that was the reason and Redd found it cute.
“I see.. You don’t have that much to do right now, do you?” Redd asked and winked slightly at his boyfriend.
“That depends on what you mean.. Hm.?” Tom asked as he put a few papers aside. He totally understood what Redd meant but he wanted him to be more direct. For his entertainment of course.
“I could suck your dick.” Redd said, not really embarrassed because he’s.. Well, Redd.
“Why don’t you just say so?” Tom asked as he somehow managed to pull down his pants.
_._._
After giving Tom a decent blowjob, Redd had gotten him another snack.
“Have this while I’m gone, so you don’t waste away.” Redd chuckled as he said that to Tom, which just earned him a scoff.
“-And don’t miss me too much.” Redd promptly added before walking away.
“Trust me, I most definitely won’t!” Tom yelled after him.
Tom finished off all calls and paperwork he had to do for the day and leaned back in his chair, rather satisfied with himself as he ate the big slice of cheesecake and coffee Redd had gotten him.
He sighed softly and put a paw on his already pretty chubby belly, he felt bloated and honestly a little heavier than he was used to but he didn’t mind. It was probably the lack of movement as he didn’t walk to work or play with the boys. He had to rely on Redd to help him around the house, which seemed awkward since Redd was such a twink and he himself was probably almost twice as heavy as the Kitsune.
He actually hated being dependent on Redd, however he couldn’t do much.
After a little while Redd came back with the boys who rushed to the kitchen to eat dinner and Redd walked to Tom’s office.
“Hiya, Nookie! You wanna eat dinner on the kitchen? Need help to get there?” Redd asked.
“I would..” Tom said as he leaned onto the table for some support to get up, then leaned onto Redd. They both managed to make it to the kitchen and Tom plopped onto a chair opposing Timmy.
“How was work for you two?” Tom asked softly. Tom usually disliked showing vulnerability to other people, even Redd at times but that was slightly different with the boys, he wanted to be the best father figure for them, despite them being his employees. Afterall they were still kids and needed guidance in their life.
“Good! We’ve had lots of customers.. Customers.” They both said in unison.
“I’m glad.” Tom said as he ate his dinner, trying his best to ignore the Kitsune.
“You two want to watch a movie later?” Tom asked his boys. He felt guilty for being unable to play with them so he hoped watching a movie would make both of them and himself happier.
“Sure!” They replied.
_
After a couple of months he finally could walk again and go back to work, he wasn’t supposed to lift up heavy things still.
He took a shower the day prior and was getting ready for work, feeling good about himself again.
Redd watched his chonky boyfriend put on his khaki shorts, he noticed Tom struggle getting them over his hips. Oh shit, there was no way Tom was gonna get them buttoned.
“.. Redd? They don’t fit.” Tom said, deciding that maybe He’d have more luck with his work shirt.
He managed to get the two upper buttons buttoned but not the rest.
He looked a little panicked at Redd, who didn’t know what to do either. “.. What if you wore a sweater? It’s not that warm yet-“ Redd suggested.
“I guess that could work..” Tom said as he looked through his closet to get a sweater with the Nook Inc logo on it.
Redd despised the logo at this point, really.
The sweater fit, but it was really tight and giving Tom a muffin top along with the pants he was wearing. He didn’t have much time to worry about that right now as he had to head to work. Pretty ironic that this happened to the man making people wear their work uniforms because “clothes are a big part of business.”
In the mean time Redd headed to the Sable Sisters to make sure to get Tom some bigger clothes.
Tom was a little out of breath when he walked to the Residential Services, he opened the door and just sighed. He pulled down his sweater and walked into the backroom where Isabelle was waiting for him.
“Good morning, Tom!” She said as she handed him his coffee.
“Good morning and thanks for the coffee! Yes, yes.” Tom said, his stomach growled again and it also hurt.
“Seems like somebody is hungry! I made you some “welcome back ”cookies!” Isabelle said as she handed him a plate.
“That’s splendid, thank you.” Tom replied, before blushing a little. “Do you know whether we still have.. Err, bigger sized work uniforms?” Tom asked.
“For what?” Isabelle asked, pretending to be oblivious. She of course noticed how much bigger the Tanuki looked, he was so chunky and it surprised her.
“I put on a few and this.. Isn’t exactly the most comfortable outfit.” Tom said as he tried to pull his sweater down again.
“See for yourself! I’m pretty sure there is something at least.” Isabelle said and smiled at Tom.
Tom sighed as he went to the work uniform shelf and looked through various shirts, to his luck he found the exact same shirt he owned just a couple sizes bigger. He immediately slipped it on along with a pair of khaki shorts he had found.
To his surprise the shirt was a little loose on him.
Isabelle was already at the desk, working.
He walked to his own desk and plopped on the chair, which creaked under all the new weight. While doing his usual work he ate the cookies Isabelle had made for him and downed several cups of coffee. Occasionally He’d get snacks from the vending machine but he was still so oddly hungry.
He felt a little exhausted at the end of the day and especially after his walk home. Getting pampered by like everyone really affected his already in first place wide waistline, but now he was getting lazier too.
“Good evening, Nookie!” Redd said as Tom came home, he obviously noticed the change in attire and how bloated Tom looked. Despite being so bloated, Tom’s stomach growled.
“You sure you want dinner? You look like you just feasted. My, my, Nookie~” Redd teased, he just really wanted to unbutton Tom’s shirt and feel how much Tom let himself go.
“Busy and stressing day at work to be honest.. Isabelle made a lot of cookies for me as welcome back gift or something. I’m actually quite hungry though.” Tom said as he patted his belly.
“I’m not surprised.” Redd said as he practically shoved Tom into the kitchen. “It’s still a bit until dinner but I made you some cake.” He told him.
Tom lazily sat on a chair, “thanks, hmm.” He said as he ate a slice and then another.
“Do you want some coffee?” Redd asked.
“Sure.” Tom said and leaned back into his chair.
Redd put the coffee onto the table and smiled at his boyfriend. “There you go, Nookie~” He said.
Tom grumbled but drank his coffee.
What he didn’t know was that Redd had put some melted butter along with the milk and sugar in there, so he’d have a bigger boyfriend much faster.
Eventually the kids arrived and they all ate dinner together. After that they played with Tom and Redd, it made Tom happy that he could be there for the kids again.
Tom had brought them to bed at around 21 pm and then made his way to Redd’s and his bedroom. Tom’s stomach growled and he sighed softly as he sat on the bed, which creaked slightly under his weight.
“I got you doughnuts~” Redd mused, as he handed Tom the box.
“Thank you, yes.. Ye-“ Tom yawned and began eating a couple of doughnuts.
“Can’t stop eating lately, am I right, Nookie?” Redd teased as he unbuttoned Tom’s shorts and shirt and began rubbing his belly.
“I told you to stop calling me that since months now.. “ Tom complained and he would’ve pushed Redd away if he weren’t so godforsaken tired.
“Too tired to properly move?” Redd teased.
“Just.. Shut up for once, hm.” Tom huffed, as he closed the empty doughnut box. He then also drifted off to sleep, with Redd rubbing his belly gently.
After a couple months the Tanuki had to size up. . Again. It seemed that both Isabelle and Redd loved to pamper him.
His gut was well hanging over his waistband and he was way lazier and more easily exhausted.
Isabelle was closing off the shop and then walked over to Tom, playing with his hefty and bloated belly. Earning several moans in pleasure from him, he was so stuffed that it felt good to have somebody with his belly.
“It’s softer than I expected!” Isabelle said, smiling at the Tanuki.
“Yeah.. Everyone says that, hm.” He just replied, making no effort to fight her as it felt good.
Isabelle chuckled and patted the Tanuki’s soft tummy.

Institute (13th Doctor x reader) Part 5
Summary: You’re on the run, no doctor, no time.  Word Count: 2.4k AN: I’m going to be taking a lil break after the next chapter, just as I’m moving and I need time to adjust sorry -L x Warnings: none i think  Tags: @startrekkingaroundasgard @penguinwithitsarseonfire​
(PART 1) (PART 2) (PART 3) (PART 4) (PART 6) (PART 7) (PART 8) MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
Panic. Screaming. Wind. Noise. Fear. Tense breathing. More screaming. More panic.
“Hold on!” Graham shouted over the monstrous amount of noise. Ryan found a panel and somehow managed to fly the plane on his phone. You were too shaken to understand. O. The plane was finally level. The Master.  You were shaking. Nothing really sunk in. You blinked and you were helped off the plane by the worried trio. You snuck past the guards as Barton spoke to someone official looking. You were in Essex according to Ryan, and now that you were off the plane things had finally begun to fall into place within your mind. You were being stared at by everyone. 
“It’s hard not to stand out, when we look like this,” Ryan groaned frustrated at the suit
“We’ve just been on a night out and we’re going home, that’s all,” Yaz reassured a soothing voice trying to calm you all down. Your phone went off, as did the others. Cautiously you answered it. Barton. “Hello, friends. What, did you think I wouldn't be able to track you? We have your numbers, e-mails, GPS. I even know how many more stamps you need for a free coffee. So close, Ryan. Or should I say Logan? Look up.” You did as he said. On a screen above you all your faces were displayed, claiming you were dangerous. More cursing. “Your passports have been revoked, bank accounts frozen,” Barton continued “We have a record of everyone you know - friends, family, colleagues, everyone you ever followed on social media. Of course, we have cameras everywhere, and now you're wanted for hijacking. Go off the grid see how long you’ll last,” 
In a panic, Ryan smashed his phone, Yaz attempted to call her mum and Graham froze. “Oh and Yazmin is attempting to call her mum, how sweet,” He spat sarcastically. Yaz had rambled into the phone briefly for a second before Ryan grabbed the phone and stomped on it, he did the same with your phone and Graham’s. Then you ran. 
You had finally settled on a building estate, hours late. Bones aching, out of breath and tired.
“No CCTV we should be safe for now,” Graham said, clearly weary from the day. You filled into a half built house. You took a seat on a sort of wall as did the others
“How do we know we can trust you?” Ryan asked suddenly “We don’t know you. The Doctor trusted O, and he betrayed us, how do we know you won’t?”
“You don’t.” You replied shortly “I’m an outsider. You’ve seen me what? Twice before today? Three times because one of them hasn’t happened to me yet. You don’t know you can trust me. But you have to. If I wanted to turn on you, if I had malicious intent I would have ran off with the master, but I didn’t.”
“Who are you really? O said you were a missing person,” Yaz asked inner police woman jumping forward
“I am. Technically. I was recruited by people I know very little about to do a job, told me it was important so I took the role. Wiped me from my old life, gave me a new one,” “How come the Doctor didn’t recognise that person? Surely you would recognise someone like that?”
“Their species, they have a way of cheating death, burn up every cell in their body, change their face and who they are. The Doctor used to be a man, we have 12 other faces on file. The master also can do that, same species same thing,” 
“Who was he?”
“Well, do you remember Harold Saxon? That used to be him,”
“What- I voted for him!” Graham exclaimed
You examined the looks on their faces, “You want to know about my future don’t you, you want to put the pieces together, but she’s said you can’t tell me. One question won’t kill me,”
“You mentioned you were going to die on another planet? How would you know something like that?” Yaz wondered
“This, this interaction. Time isn’t linear. It’s more a big lump, as time travellers, we jump in and out at various points, things aren’t linear things can be changed and rewritten. Surely she told you that?”
“She doesn’t exactly tell us a lot. Who are you to her really?”
“I’m no one important, I think, I don’t know. I get pieces in passing. A bit like a conversation you aren’t a part of yet, just occasional whispers. Her late wife visited me once, and told me to keep track of everything. Keep journals and notes, telling me it would help make things easier, clearer. She was in a similar position, they met when she died and they kept meeting, bumping into each other, in the wrong order, fell in love, nearly destroyed the universe,”  You explained “The doctor trusts me and I trust the doctor. Good enough for me. Also we went on a date,”
“Since we’re admitting things, I stole some of the gadgets from MI6, I’m wearing the laser shoes. Before you ask, no I didn’t read the instructions,” Graham laughed
“I took the rocket cufflinks too,” Ryan smiled
“You utter doughnuts, all of you. But there’s no one I’d rather be on the run with,” Graham turned to you “Even you, you seem to know a lot and I trust you. You’re on the same wavelength as the Doctor and that’s good enough for me.”
“Did you hear that?” There was a noise, and light. Kasaavin. You stepped out the building one by one. 
“The shoe, use the shoe,” Ryan urged
“What?”
“Just stomp or something!” Graham did. A bolt hit a nearby streetlight.
“Your aim is terrible,”
“Graham, just dance.” He did and a few bolts hit the figures. You grabbed the others hands and ran.
The sun was coming up, you hadn’t slept for about 36 hours and whilst Yaz made a phone call, you and Ryan leant against each other in a desperate attempt to stay awake. She hung up suddenly as a car pulled up. Men stepped out, threatening you. Graham came up behind them and waved his laser shoe dramatically
“-and don’t make me do the soft-shoe shuffle!” He stated over dramatically, as you got into the car. You had decided to drive
“Are you sure you’re going to be safe? Driving, I mean, 36 hours is a lot-” Yaz began cautiously
“I’ll be fine. I once stayed a awake for a week on some planet so I could do my job, and the days were 25 hours, this is nothing,” You joked
“Can we go to the institute? Surely they’ll keep us safe?” 
“No, they won’t. Anything linked to present day criminal activity immediately gets you dropped. We deal with time, you so much as breathe wrong you’re dropped,” You explained, “We have to follow their GPS.” You sped off
The hanger was cold and empty. There was a single figure on a chair along with a stand and a screen, you rushed to it. 
“Is she still?” Ryan asked, not wanting to say the word. You checked for a pulse, she was cold. You shook your head, “No she isn’t. She hasn’t been for a while, a few hours, at most, I think.”  Barton appeared on the screen.
“Well done overpowering my people. But did you really think they wouldn't tell me? I have a significant announcement to make, and you, my friends, are two steps behind. As usual,” He mocked
“So what are you? Part alien or something?” Graham asked
“You really don't understand who I am. I build things. I test them. So I let them test a tiny part of me. And now it's time for the global roll-out. I'm proof of concept,”
“As the head of the Bad Wolf institute, I have to ask, what are you testing? Why don’t you stop with the theatrics and murder? Make my job the tiniest bit easier,” You asked, temper flaring
“Look after my mum.” The call ended. You went to hit the screen and decided against instead choosing to make a loud noise. 
“He killed his own mum,” Yaz breathed
“And abandoned her, in a hanger, to rot,” You stated, formal tone back. The screen came on once again, this time to an image of Barton giving a talk. 
“-We told you, of course your lives are private, of course your data's safe. And you believed us. You kept clicking Agree. And now, we can do anything. I can send a text to every device on this planet.”
“Something doesn’t make sense, I’m missing something, I’m being stupid. God why does lack of sleep does this,” You grumbled. A message flashed up on the screen. Humanity is over, you have three minutes to prepare. The statue started spinning. 
“Funny, right? Except, not a joke. We are way past peak human. We've created systems that are smarter and can run more efficiently than we do. So what's our purpose? We must be useful for something. Well, the data tells us we are. We can repurpose. Well, you all can. You know the most efficient type of hard drives on Planet Earth? Humans. Human DNA can store so much data. We're the perfect storage system, which means there are over seven billion potentially incredibly useful hard drives on this planet. All that's needed is to reformat the whole of humanity. Luckily, there's an app for that.” Barton chuckled, tone sinister.
The room was filled with light. The Kasaavin. The hangar door swung open. The master. 
“Move away. Now! I've just had the most infuriating seventy seven years of my life. Have you any idea how hard it is to live through the 20th century? The places I've escaped from. Still, just in time to watch you all pay.” He grumbled, he looked aggressive like a wolf ready to attack. 
“What is it? What the hell is that thing?” You asked, barely giving the others time to react
“Back with us I see? Aw shock was good look on you, shame the Doctor won’t get to see more of it,” He snarled “ If you must know, dear, it converts and transmits. We're transmitting Kasaavin energy around the world all at once into every device, hitting every human being and erasing all their DNA simultaneously. And it’s beautiful.” The energy grabbed Yaz, she couldn’t let go, you tried to pull her off, it wouldn’t move, she couldn’t budge.
“No use. It’ll take her, then you then you, and finally Miss Institute herself, a shame.” The machine stopped suddenly, the figures vanished.
“You were saying?” You replied smugly 
“Sorry. I’ll admit I was close,” The doctor. Relief washed over you. She entered the hangar followed by two other women.
“Two can play at embedding things in history. I knew the Silver Lady was important, and that you built it for a reason, but I couldn't work out why. So I traced its movements through history. And when I saw that Barton now owned it, we stopped by his office. Middle of last year, using your Tardis, I built a fail-safe into that machine. Planted a virus. If it ever detected the massing of a Kasaavin army within its systems - total shutdown,” She explained. The room glowed again, circling everyone. 
“Well Doctor, looks like you’re going to have to explain everything to them,”
“Look, I’ve rigged the Silver lady to send you back your own dimension. And that deal he made with you?” She pulled out her sonic and played a audio clip
‘Barton and these creatures do the dirty work, and once they're done, I get rid of them, having destroyed your precious human race in the process. Win-win-win.’
“Oh,” Was all the Master could manage to say
“Yes that’s your name, don’t wear it out,” She replied before the light increased. And with that the room was empty again, “Everyone alright? Everyone safe?” A chorus of yes sounded of from the group
“Miss me?” She asked a small but beautiful smile on her face, wrapping her arm around you
“Always,” You replied pressing a small kiss to her lip
“I hate to break up a sweet moment but I have questions. Who are they? And are we being replaced?” Graham asked
“Oh these are Noor and Ada, I’m dropping them off back in their timeline, like I could ever replace any of you.”
They were dropped off back in their respective times.
“So where to now?” The doctor asked, flipping a few switches
“The institute for me, I’m afraid,” You cringed, desperately wanting to stay
“What?” She suddenly looked up staring deep into your eyes, clearly hurt.
“I have to warm them, the Master is out there, and we have to prepare. We’ve barely managed to fix everything after the issues in 2015. I do want to stay, I truly do, but it’s hard and I have to look after them,” You avoided her eyes
“It’s ok I get it. Since we’re synced I can say this, whenever we meet up synced or not we have to go on a date, because we don’t know when it’s going to happen so we might as well enjoy it,” She wandered over to where you were stood
“Like time girlfriends?” “Time girlfriends,” She nodded. You kissed her cheek, and she smiled into it, hugging you tightly. 
“Miss you already,” You joked taking steps out of the TARDIS and back into your office the day that you left.
“Are you ok? You’ve been a bit distant recently,” Yaz asked, breaking the Doctor from her thoughts. It had been a few months, since they’d seen you as a group.
“I’m fine,” She replied shortly
“You miss her don’t you?” The doctor ignored the question continuing to focus on the random buttons she was fiddling with. “Look, why don’t you take us to visit your home?”
“Can’t. Shouldn’t. You’ll ask too many questions. It’s boring. Why do you think I ran?” She explained, her usual answers combining into one, “but yes I miss her,”

The Rumor Around Hogwarts (prologue)
Hi everyone!! This is the prologue and it is pretty much exactly what the author wrote and I don't take credit for it. I made a couple of changes to the chapter but it is towards the end so if you want to skip through you can until about the last paragraph to find the part about Y/N L/N. Enjoy!!
Male reader insert for now, future addition of they pronouns as it will lean more towards a non-binary insert with the only change being less reference to Y/N as a young boy and more gender neutral terms. Still masc/male aligned.
Previous // Next
Prologue:
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had two small sons, too, but they had never even seen them. These boys were two good reasons for keeping the Potters away; they didn't want Dudley mixing with children like that.
When Mr. and Mrs. Dursley woke up on the dull, gray Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country. Mr. Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work, and Mrs. Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair.None of them noticed a large, tawny owl flutter past the window.At half past eight, Mr. Dursley picked up his briefcase, pecked Mrs. Dursley on the cheek, and tried to kiss Dudley good-bye but missed, because Dudley was now having a tantrum and throwing his cereal at the walls.
"Little tyke," chortled Mr. Dursley as he left the house. He got into his car and backed out of number four's drive.
It was on the corner of the street that he noticed the first sign of something peculiar -- a cat reading a map. For a second, Mr. Dursley didn't realise what he had seen -- then he jerked his head around to look again. There was a tabby cat standing on the corner of Privet Drive, but there wasn't a map in sight. What could he have been thinking of? It must have been a trick of the light. Mr. Dursley blinked and stared at the cat. It stared back. As Mr. Dursley drove around the corner and up the road, he watched the cat in his mirror. It was now reading the sign that said Privet Drive -- no, looking at the sign; cats couldn't read maps or signs. Mr. Dursley gave himself a little shake and put the cat out of his mind. As he drove toward town he thought of nothing except a large order of drills he was hoping to get that day.
But on the edge of town, drills were driven out of his mind by something else. As he sat in the usual morning traffic jam, he couldn't help noticing that there seemed to be a lot of strangely dressed people about. People in cloaks. Mr. Dursley couldn't bear people who dressed in funny clothes -- the getups you saw on young people! He supposed this was some stupid new fashion. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and his eyes fell on a huddle of these weirdos standing quite close by. They were whispering excitedly together. Mr. Dursley was enraged to see that a couple of them weren't young at all; why, that man had to be older than he was, and wearing an emerald-green cloak! The nerve of him! But then it struck Mr. Dursley that this was probably some silly stunt -- these people were obviously collecting for something... yes, that would be it. The traffic moved on and a few minutes later, Mr. Dursley arrived in the Grunnings parking lot, his mind back on drills.
Mr. Dursley always sat with his back to the window in his office on the ninth floor. If he hadn't, he might have found it harder to concentrate on drills that morning. He didn't see the owls swooping past in broad daylight, though people down in the street did; they pointed and gazed open-mouthed as owl after owl sped overhead. Most of them had never seen an owl even at nighttime. Mr. Dursley, however, had a perfectly normal, owl-free morning. He yelled at five different people. He made several important telephone calls and shouted a bit more. He was in a very good mood until lunchtime, when he thought he'd stretch his legs and walk across the road to buy himself a bun from the bakery.
He'd forgotten all about the people in cloaks until he passed a group of them next to the baker's. He eyed them angrily as he passed. He didn't know why, but they made him uneasy. This bunch were whispering excitedly, too, and he couldn't see a single collecting tin. It was on his way back past them, clutching a large doughnut in a bag, that he caught a few words of what they were saying. "The Potters, that's right, that's what I heard--" "-- yes, their son, Harry--" Mr. Dursley stopped dead. Fear flooded him. He looked back at the whisperers as if he wanted to say something to them, but thought better of it.
He dashed back across the road, hurried up to his office, snapped at his secretary not to disturb him, seized his telephone, and had almost finished dialing his home number when he changed his mind. He put the receiver back down and stroked his mustache, thinking... no, he was being stupid. Potter wasn't such an unusual name. He was sure there were lots of people called Potter who had a son called Harry. Come to think of it, he wasn't even sure his nephew was called Harry. He'd never even seen the boy. It might have been Harvey Or Harold There was no point in worrying Mrs. Dursley; she always got so upset at any mention of her sister. He didn't blame her -- if he'd had a sister like that... but all the same, those people in cloaks...
He found it a lot harder to concentrate on drill that afternoon and when he left the building a five o'clock, he was still so worried that he walked straight into someone just outside of the door.
"Sorry" he grunted as the tiny old man stumbled and almost fell. It was a few seconds before Mr. Dursley realised that the man was wearing a violet cloak. He didn't seem at all upset at being almost knocked to the ground. On the contrary his ace split into a wide smile and he said in a squeaky voice that made passerbys stare,
"Don't be sorry my dear sir, for nothing could upset me today! Rejoice for You-Know-Who has gone at last! Even Muggles like yourself should be celebrating this happy, happy day!"
And the old man hugged Mr. Dursley around the middle and walked off.
Mr. Dursley stood rooted to the spot. He had been hugged by a complete stranger. He also thought he had been called a Muggle, whatever that was. He was rattled. He hurried to his car and set off for home, hoping he was imagining things, which he had never hoped before, because he didn't approve of imagination.
As he pulled into the driveway of number four, the first thing he saw -- and it didn't improve his mood -- was the tabby cat he'd spotted that morning. It was now sitting on his garden wall. He was sure it was the same one; it had the same markings around its eyes.
"Shoo!" said Mr. Dursley loudly.
The cat didn't move. It just gave him a stern look. Was this normal cat behavior? Mr. Dursley wondered. Trying to pull himself together, he let himself into the house. He was still determined not to mention anything to his wife.
Mrs. Dursley had had a nice, normal day. She told him over dinner all about Mrs. Next Door's problems with her daughter and how Dudley had learned a new word ("Won't!"). Mr. Dursley tried to act normally. When Dudley had been put to bed, he went into the living room in time to catch the last report on the evening news:
"And finally, bird-watchers everywhere have reported that the nation's owls have been behaving very unusually today. Although owls normally hunt at night and are hardly ever seen in daylight, there have been hundreds of sightings of these birds flying in every direction since sunrise. Experts are unable to explain why the owls have suddenly changed their sleeping pattern." The newscaster allowed himself a grin. "Most mysterious. And now, over to Jim McGuffin with the weather. Going to be any more showers of owls tonight, Jim?" "Well, Ted," said the weatherman, "I don't know about that, but it's not only the owls that have been acting oddly today. Viewers as far apart as Kent, Yorkshire, and Dundee have been phoning in to tell me that instead of the rain I promised yesterday, they've had a downpour of shooting stars! Perhaps people have been celebrating Bonfire Night early -- it's not until next week, folks! But I can promise a wet night tonight."
Mr. Dursley sat frozen in his armchair. Shooting stars all over Britain? Owls flying by daylight? Mysterious people in cloaks all over the place? And a whisper, a whisper about the Potters...
Mrs. Dursley came into the living room carrying two cups of tea. It was no good. He'd have to say something to her. He cleared his throat nervously. "Er -- Petunia, dear -- you haven't heard from your sister lately, have you?"
As he had expected, Mrs. Dursley looked shocked and angry. After all, they normally pretended she didn't have a sister.
"No," she said sharply. "Why?"
"Funny stuff on the news," Mr. Dursley mumbled. "Owls... shooting stars... and there were a lot of funny-looking people in town today..."
"So?" snapped Mrs. Dursley.
"Well, I just thought... maybe... it was something to do with... you know... her crowd."
Mrs. Dursley sipped her tea through pursed lips. Mr. Dursley wondered whether he dared tell her he'd heard the name "Potter." He decided he didn't dare. Instead he said, as casually as he could, "Their son -- he'd be about Dudley's age now, wouldn't he?"
"I suppose so," said Mrs. Dursley stiffly.
"What's his name again? Howard, isn't it?"
"Harry. Nasty, common name, if you ask me."
"Oh, yes," said Mr. Dursley, his heart sinking horribly. "Yes, I quite agree."
He didn't say another word on the subject as they went upstairs to bed. While Mrs. Dursley was in the bathroom, Mr. Dursley crept to the bedroom window and peered down into the front garden. The cat was still there. It was staring down Privet Drive as though it were waiting for something.
Was he imagining things? Could all this have anything to do with the Potters? If it did... if it got out that they were related to a pair of -- well, he didn't think he could bear it.
The Dursleys got into bed. Mrs. Dursley fell asleep quickly but Mr. Dursley lay awake, turning it all over in his mind. His last, comforting thought before he fell asleep was that even if the Potters were involved, there was no reason for them to come near him and Mrs. Dursley. The Potters knew very well what he and Petunia thought about them and their kind... He couldn't see how he and Petunia could get mixed up in anything that might be going on -- he yawned and turned over -- it couldn't affect them...
How very wrong he was.
Mr. Dursley might have been drifting into an uneasy sleep, but the cat on the wall outside was showing no sign of sleepiness. It was sitting as still as a statue, its eyes fixed unblinkingly on the far corner of Privet Drive. It didn't so much as quiver when a car door slammed on the next street, nor when two owls swooped overhead. In fact, it was nearly midnight before the cat moved at all.
A man appeared on the corner the cat had been watching, appeared so suddenly and silently you'd have thought he'd just popped out of the ground. The cat's tail twitched and its eyes narrowed.
Nothing like this man had ever been seen on Privet Drive. He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high-heeled, buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright, and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. This man's name was Albus Dumbledore.
Albus Dumbledore didn't seem to realize that he had just arrived in a street where everything from his name to his boots was unwelcome. He was busy rummaging in his cloak, looking for something. But he did seem to realize he was being watched, because he looked up suddenly at the cat, which was still staring at him from the other end of the street. For some reason, the sight of the cat seemed to amuse him. He chuckled and muttered, "I should have known."
He found what he was looking for in his inside pocket. It seemed to be a silver cigarette lighter. He flicked it open, held it up in the air, and clicked it. The nearest street lamp went out with a little pop. He clicked it again -- the next lamp flickered into darkness. Twelve times he clicked the Put-Outer, until the only lights left on the whole street were two tiny pinpricks in the distance, which were the eyes of the cat watching him. If anyone looked out of their window now, even beady-eyed Mrs. Dursley, they wouldn't be able to see anything that was happening down on the pavement. Dumbledore slipped the Put-Outer back inside his cloak and set off down the street toward number four, where he sat down on the wall next to the cat. He didn't look at it, but after a moment he spoke to it.
"Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall."
He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone. Instead he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had had around its eyes. She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her black hair was drawn into a tight bun. She looked distinctly ruffled.
"How did you know it was me?" she asked.
"My dear Professor, I've never seen a cat sit so stiffly."
"You'd be stiff if you'd been sitting on a brick wall all day," said Professor McGonagall.
"All day? When you could have been celebrating? I must have passed a dozen feasts and parties on my way here."
Professor McGonagall sniffed angrily.
"Oh yes, I've been celebrating, all right," she said impatiently. "You'd think they'd be a bit more careful, but no -- even the Muggles have noticed something's going on. It was on their news." She jerked her head back at the Dursleys' dark living-room window. "I heard it. Flocks of owls... shooting stars... Well, they're not completely stupid. They were bound to notice something. Shooting stars down in Kent -- I'll bet that was Dedalus Diggle. He never had much sense."
"You can't blame them," said Dumbledore gently. "We've had precious little to celebrate for eleven years."
"I know that," said Professor McGonagall irritably. "But that's no reason to lose our heads. People are being downright careless, out on the streets in broad daylight, not even dressed in Muggle clothes, swapping rumors."
She threw a sharp, sideways glance at Dumbledore here, as though hoping he was going to tell her something, but he didn't, so she went on. "A fine thing it would be if, on the very day You-Know-Who seems to have disappeared at last, the Muggles found out about us all. I suppose he really has gone, Dumbledore?"
"It certainly seems so," said Dumbledore. "We have much to be thankful for. Would you care for a lemon drop?"
"A what?"
"A lemon drop. They're a kind of Muggle sweet I'm rather fond of."
"No, thank you," said Professor McGonagall coldly, as though she didn't think this was the moment for lemon drops. "As I say, even if You-Know-Who has gone--"
"My dear Professor, surely a sensible person like yourself can call him by his name? All this 'You-Know-Who' nonsense -- for eleven years I have been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name: Voldemort." Professor McGonagall flinched, but Dumbledore, who was unsticking two lemon drops, seemed not to notice. "It all gets so confusing if we keep saying 'You-Know-Who.' I have never seen any reason to be frightened of saying Voldemort's name."
"I know you haven't, said Professor McGonagall, sounding half exasperated, half admiring. "But you're different. Everyone knows you're the only one You-Know- oh, all right, Voldemort, was frightened of."
"You flatter me," said Dumbledore calmly. "Voldemort had powers I will never have."
"Only because you're too -- well -- noble to use them."
"It's lucky it's dark. I haven't blushed so much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs."
Professor McGonagall shot a sharp look at Dumbledore and said "The owls are nothing next to the rumors that are flying around. You know what they're saying? About why he's disappeared? About what finally stopped him?"
It seemed that Professor McGonagall had reached the point she was most anxious to discuss, the real reason she had been waiting on a cold, hard wall all day, for neither as a cat nor as a woman had she fixed Dumbledore with such a piercing stare as she did now. It was plain that whatever "everyone" was saying, she was not going to believe it until Dumbledore told her it was true. Dumbledore, however, was choosing another lemon drop and did not answer.
"What they're saying," she pressed on, "is that last night Voldemort turned up in Godric's Hollow. He went to find the Potters. The rumor is that Lily and James Potter are -- are -- that they're -- dead."
Dumbledore bowed his head. Professor McGonagall gasped.
"Lily and James... I can't believe it... I didn't want to believe it... Oh, Albus..." Dumbledore reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
"I know... I know... " he said heavily.
Professor McGonagall's voice trembled as she went on. "That's not all. They're saying he tried to kill the Potter's son, Harry. But he couldn't. He couldn't kill that little boy. No one knows why, or how, but they're saying that when he couldn't kill Harry Potter, Voldemort's power somehow broke -- and that's why he's gone."
Dumbledore nodded glumly.
"It's -- it's true ?" faltered Professor McGonagall. "After all he's done... all the people he's killed... he couldn't kill a little boy? It's just astounding... of all the things to stop him... but how in the name of heaven did Harry survive?"
"We can only guess," said Dumbledore.
"We may never know." Professor McGonagall pulled out a lace handkerchief and dabbed at her eyes beneath her spectacles. Dumbledore gave a great sniff as he took a golden watch from his pocket and examined it. It was a very odd watch. It had twelve hands but no numbers; instead, little planets were moving around the edge. It must have made sense to Dumbledore, though, because he put it back in his pocket and said, "Hagrid's late. I suppose it was he who told you I'd be here, by the way?"
"Yes," said Professor McGonagall. "And I don't suppose you're going to tell me why you're here, of all places?"
"I've come to bring Harry to his aunt and uncle. They're the only family he has left now."
"You don't mean - you can't mean the people who live here ?" cried Professor McGonagall, jumping to her feet and pointing at number four. "Dumbledore -- you can't. I've been watching them all day. You couldn't find two people who are less like us. And they've got this son -- I saw him kicking his mother all the way up the street, screaming for sweets. Harry Potter come and live here!?"
"It's the best place for him," said Dumbledore firmly. "His aunt and uncle will be able to explain everything to him when he's older. I've written them a letter."
"A letter?" repeated Professor McGonagall faintly, sitting back down on the wall. "Really, Dumbledore, you think you can explain all this in a letter? These people will never understand him! He'll be famous -- a legend -- I wouldn't be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter day in the future -- there will be books written about Harry -- every child in our world will know his name!"
"Exactly." said Dumbledore, looking very seriously over the top of his half-moon glasses. "It would be enough to turn any boy's head. Famous before he can walk and talk! Famous for something he won't even remember! Can you see how much better off he'll be, growing up away from all that until he's ready to take it?"
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, changed her mind, swallowed, and then said, "Yes -- yes, you're right, of course. But how is the boy getting here, Dumbledore?" She eyed his cloak suddenly as though she thought he might be hiding Harry underneath it.
"Hagrid's bringing him."
"You think it -- wise -- to trust Hagrid with something as important as this?"
"I would trust Hagrid with my life," said Dumbledore. "I'm not saying his heart isn't in the right place," said Professor McGonagall grudgingly, "but you can't pretend he's not careless. He does tend to -- what was that?"
A low rumbling sound had broken the silence around them. It grew steadily louder as they looked up and down the street for some sign of a headlight; it swelled to a roar as they both looked up at the sky -- and a huge motorcycle fell out of the air and landed on the road in front of them.
If the motorcycle was huge, it was nothing to the man sitting astride it. He was almost twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild -- long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he had hands the size of trash can lids, and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins. In his vast, muscular arms he was holding a bundle of blankets.
"Hagrid," said Dumbledore, sounding relieved. "At last. And where did you get that motorcycle?"
"Borrowed it, Professor Dumbledore, sir," said the giant, climbing carefully off the motorcycle as he spoke. "Young Sirius Black lent it to me. I've got him, sir."
"No problems, were there?"
"No, sir -- house was almost destroyed, but I got him out all right before the Muggles started swarmin' around. He fell asleep as we was flyin' over Bristol."
Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall bent forward over the bundle of blankets. Inside, just visible, was a baby boy, fast asleep. Under a tuft of jet-black hair over his forehead they could see a curiously shaped cut, like a bolt of lightning.
"Is that where -- ?" whispered Professor McGonagall.
"Yes," said Dumbledore. "He'll have that scar forever."
"Couldn't you do something about it, Dumbledore?" "Even if I could, I wouldn't. Scars can come in handy. I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map o
f the London Underground. Well -- give him here, Hagrid -- we'd better get this over with." Dumbledore took Harry in his arms and turned toward the Dursleys' house. "Could I -- could I say good-bye to him, sir?" asked Hagrid. He bent his great, shaggy head over Harry and gave him what must have been a very scratchy, whiskery kiss. Then, suddenly, Hagrid let out a howl like a wounded dog.
"Shhh!" hissed Professor McGonagall, "You'll wake the Muggles!"
"S-s-sorry," sobbed Hagrid, taking out a large, spotted handkerchief and burying his face in it. "But I c-c-can't stand it -- Lily an' James dead -- an' poor little Harry off ter live with Muggles--"
"Yes, yes, it's all very sad, but get a grip on yourself, Hagrid, or we'll be found," Professor McGonagall whispered, patting Hagrid gingerly on the arm as Dumbledore stepped over the low garden wall and walked to the front door. He laid Harry gently on the doorstep, took a letter out of his cloak, tucked it inside Harry's blankets, and then came back to the other two. For a full minute the three of them stood and looked at the little bundle; Hagrid's shoulders shook, Professor McGonagall blinked furiously, and the twinkling light that usually shone from Dumbledore's eyes seemed to have gone out.
"Well," said Dumbledore finally, "that's that. We've no business staying here. We may as well go and join the celebrations."
"Yeah," said Hagrid in a very muffled voice, "I'll be takin' Sirius his bike back. G'night, Professor McGonagall -- Professor Dumbledore, sir."
Wiping his streaming eyes on his jacket sleeve, Hagrid swung himself onto the motorcycle and kicked the engine into life; with a roar it rose into the air and off into the night.
"I shall see you soon, I expect, Professor McGonagall," said Dumbledore, nodding to her. Professor McGonagall blew her nose in reply. Dumbledore turned and walked back down the street. On the corner he stopped and took out the silver Put-Outer. He clicked it once, and twelve balls of light sped back to their street lamps so that Privet Drive glowed suddenly orange and he could make out a tabby cat slinking around the corner at the other end of the street. He could just see the bundle of blankets on the step of number four.
"Good luck, Harry," he murmured. He turned on his heel and with a swish of his cloak, he was gone.
A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley... He couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter -- the boy who lived!"
The boy who lived, however, was not the only threat to Voldemort's plans. There was another baby boy who would grow up to be extraordinary. His fame would not reach the height of Harry Potter, but he need not be the boy who lived for he will be the boy who decided to speak.

Doughnut of lies Ch. 2
Tumblr media
He hadn't said a word, he had just stood there in total shock as his mother introduced him to Nebula and her family who owned a large sugar cane plantation. Once she said they would marry in two weeks he had walked out with saying anything. No this couldn't be happening. Why him? Why today, just as he was about ot ask his mother's permission to begin courting y/n. Oh God y/n, what would she think? What would she say?
"Katakuri... little brother wait." Perospero yelled, running up behind his little brother and grabbing his arm.
Looking to his older brother he saw the man looking to him with furrowed brows.
"Are you mad, running out like that?" he asked but the man said nothing. "Katakuri look I know this isn't what you wanted, I'm sorry but you know there is no changing Mama's mind. You will marry that girl..."
........................
The call for a tea party was so sudden but most things Big Mama did was rather spontaneous. Still you thought it strange when Katakuri hadn't been the one to come get you but Brulee. The woman seemed just as confused as you as the both of you made your way to the party room. As the servants opened the doors for you both to pass through you looked to see most of the family already here. There were two strangers sitting by Big Mama and you furrowed your brows. Still not seeing Katakuri anywhere you began to search over all the faces.
"Y/n, Brulee..."
Looking over to the table with Oven, Daf and Peros you saw them waving the both of you over and followed Brulee to the two empty seats. Sitting down you saw all the males had looks of worry and something else. "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?" you asked. Seeing them all share a look you licked your lips, "Where's Kata?" you asked.
"Y/n... there is something you don't know..." Peros started saying before Big Mama's voice cut him off.
"WE ARE GATHERED HERE TONIGHT TO CELEBRATE A JOINING OF OUR FAMILY AND THE VERXIONS. IN TWO WEEKS THEIR DAUGHTER NEBULA WILL MARRY MY SON KATAKURI!"
It was like time itself stopped, like someone had dropped a heavy weight on your chest. You couldn't breath. You heard as the doors opened and the people in the room started clapping at the introduction of the engaged couple but you couldn't make your eyes turn to the door.
"Wow Katakuri is so lucky."
"She is so pretty."
"They look so good together."
The knot in your throat grew with every compliment you heard about them. Keeping your eyes on your lap you heard as your friends quietly called your name, Brulee and Daf rubbing your knee and arm to try and snap you out of your head. When they suddenly straightened up and the smell of vanilla and leather met you nose you swallowed hard.
"These must be your other siblings?" a feminine voice said.
"Yes. My brothers, Oven and Daifuku. My sister Brulee and... My best friend, Y/n..."
Hearing that deep voice call your name you slowly lifted your eyes up to see Katakuri standing by the table and there beside him was a beautiful woman. She was only about a foot or so shorter than him with long silky looking black hair and bright purple eyes. A beta by the looks of it and perfect to the T. Her teal colored dress fit her frame, showing off her womanly curves and a fair amount of cleavage. Flawless skin and a sparkling white smile made her just as beautiful as he was handsome, she truly was perfect for him. As much as it shattered your heart you had to admit they did look good together. Forcing a smile you took in a deep breath. "It's nice to meet you Nebula. C..congratulations." you said, trying to keep your voice as even as possible.
"Thank you! I had to admit when we were walking over I mistook you for another one of Katakuri's brothers... I've never seen a woman wear clothes like your's before." she said with a giggle. "But to each their own, No matter I am sure you and I will be best friends in no time." She said with a large smile as she tried to hold onto her finance's arm yet again only for him to shake her off.
Snorting a little under his breath as the woman made the comment about her and y/n becoming best friends Oven felt as Daifuku elbowed his ribs.
Seeing Y/n's eyes shoot down when the comment was made about her clothing he grit his teeth and stepped away from his.... bride. "Y/n... can we talk..." feeling Nebula move back beside him he growled a little, "In private?" Seeing his friend nod he walked with her towards the balcony, missing the dirty look that was being tossed their way by his soon to be wife.
Letting Kata lead you to the empty balcony you heard the doors close behind you and walked over to the railing, closing your eyes and letting the cool night air wash over you.
Looking to the female he swallowed thickly and closed his eyes. He didn't know what to say. Walking closer to her he stood beside her. "Y/n..."
"She's very beautiful..." you finally said, keeping your eyes out over the city.
Caught off guard he shook his head and blinked slowly. "She..yes...I suppose she is...I..."
That knot was back and becoming harder to swallow, "Rich too..."
She was rambling, something she only did when she was trying to cover up her emotions. "Y/n..."
"That means she probably has a high education. So Smar..."
"Y/N!" he snapped and heard her stop talking. Closing his eyes he moved his hand to rub his face.
Looking up and trying blinking back tears you swallowed hard, refusing to show how hurt you truly were still you couldn't stop your next words, "Why didn't you tell me? I thought we were friends..."
Pulling his hand away from his face he grabbed her arm (and most of he upper body) and turned her towards him even though her eyes stayed down. "We are friends. You are my best friend y/n. I...." snapping his mouth shut when he realized what he was about to say he again felt the clenching in his chest. Looking down he sighed, "I didn't know. I just found out earlier today."
Dropping your shoulders you looked up into his crimson eyes and felt your heart constrict. Using your devil fruit powers you grew to your full height and reached up to gently pull down his scarf just enough for you to see him and cup his cheek. "Kata I..." Your words stopped in your throat as the balcony door opened and Katakuri quickly pulled his scarf back up.
Watching the two through the window pane Nebula narrowed her eyes at how close the two were. Smirking she marched over to the door and took a deep breath before pushing it open and smiling. "There you are. Come on Katakuri my mother and father are looking for us." she said, skipping over and wrapping her arms around his large bicep. Looking to the other female she gave a smile and raised her brows, "Wow I didn't know you could get bigger although you are still pretty short compared to all of US aren't you?" Feeling the alpha male stiffen she quickly reached out and grabbed hold of the female's wrist. Sensing something she narrowed her eyes.
Frowning when she made the comment about your size you saw Katakuri go to say something before the beta reached out and grabbed your wrist in a tight grip. The next second you saw Katakuri relax and look to the female with a calm face.
Looking from his bride down to y/n he blinked slowly. "You should go y/n. This is a family celebration." spoke in a cold voice.
Gasping under your breath at his words you dropped your eyes from his, looking down at your feet and nodding. "If... that's what you want." you whispered.
"Come on Katakuri." Nebula said letting go of the female's wrist and placing it on the alpha's hard abs to lead him inside.
Hearing the door shut you felt your body shrink down as small as it could, your heart breaking in your chest. Feeling something you opened your tear filled eyes and saw Brulee there.
Looking down at her friend she didn't say a word as she crouched down and held out her hand for the omega to climb into. Holding her carefully she entered a mirror to take y/n back to her room. Carrying her over to the bed she sat the woman down on it and watched as she only moved over to the pillow and curled up in the massive bed. Even though she was tiny in this form Brulee knew her friend was crying, could see the small shaking of her back as she sobbed. Y/n was a tough woman, not your typical omega. Ever since they had known each other when they were little kids she had only seen her cry once and that was when that medic had told her she wouldn't be able to have children. Frowning she moved her hand forward to stroke down the woman's back with the tip of her finger. "I'm so sorry y/n." she said in a low voice but saw the omega only curl up tighter.
...............................
It had been three days since the love of your life's engagement party and you had only seen him twice, both times that other woman, his... his bride had been hanging on his arm. Ever since that night he had changed, no longer did he seem to have time to talk to you or rather he didn't want to take the time. Sitting on the roof you grit your teeth as you heard that annoying laugh once again. Glancing down you saw her walking with her parents and a few of her friends she had brought with her to witness her marriage into the Charlotte family. Her little posse. Noticing Katakuri wasn't with them you perked up a little. Sliding down to your balcony you ran out of the room and out to find him.
"Hey." you said, forcing a smile up at your best friend.
Snapping his eyes down he smiled behind his scarf, "There you are. I have been looking for you." he said.
Shocked you felt your heart warm a little, "Y..you have?"
"Yes I..."
"Oh you found her."
Looking behind you you saw Oven and Daifuku walking up. A little confused you grinned at the triplets. "Should I be nervous that the three of you were looking for me?" you asked with a light chuckle.
"Not at all, we were going to go get some lunch and wanted to know if you would like to join us?" Daifuku grinned.
"Yes Katakuri has told us you have a interesting story about a sea king that we have yet to hear." Oven said excitedly.
Smiling at the familiar situation you nodded quickly. "Sure. What are we thinking?"
"Ramen?" Daifuku suggested and saw everyone nod.
"Sounds good." you grinned, walking down the path with Oven on one side of you and Kata on the other.
"Then you can make those new doughnuts." Katakuri hummed, his mouth watering at the thought.
"What new doughnuts?"
"These ones I tried in the North Blue. They have this maple glaze and then..."
"Katakuri!"
Snapping your eyes down the side trail you saw Nebula running towards the four of you. Instantly you felt a strong sense of uneasiness wash over you. Getting practically shoved out of the way as she pushed her way between you and Kata you were caught by Oven and grit your teeth.
"Nebula you need to apologize, you almost made y/n fall." Daifuku said, looking to the woman with furrowed brows.
Looking to the small female she let out a gasp, "Oh I'm sorry Y/n. I didn't even see you there."
She was such a actress. Taking a deep breath you tried to calm you temper. "It's okay I..."
"So what are you all doing?" She asked interrupting the woman.
Pulling his arm free from the woman he let out a huff. "We are going to have lunch."
"Lunch with your brothers, Oh that sounds lovely. Mind if I join?" Nebula grinned, wrapping her hands around Katakuri's arm.
"Actually Nebula it's only the four of..." you tried saying but were cut off yet again.
"I am going to be your wife after all, shouldn't I be the one having lunch with you and your brothers?" she asked, looking up at her fiance. Seeing him look from her and then turn to look at y/n when she called his name she reached out and grabbed her wrist. When the alpha's eyes blinked slowly and his face relaxed she smirked.
"Yes, you should." Katakuri said in a emotionless voice.
Feeling your heart drop and then your temper flare you growled "Don't touch me!" you snapped, shoving her hand from you and hearing her let out an over exaggerated gasp.
"What is wrong with you? Pathetic bitch." Nebula hissed.
Before you could reply something was hitting you backwards making you fall to your ass.
"You do not touch my wife!" Katakuri growled deeply.
"Brother!"
"Katakuri!"
Lifting your shaking hand up to your mouth you pulled it away and saw blood on your fingertips. Swallowing the blood in your mouth you slowly lifted your eyes up to him.
"I'm sorry Katakuri Honey but I don't think it is right for you to be friends with her when she is obviously trying to come between us." Nebula whined.
"I will let nothing come between us. Don't worry my love she is no longer my friend." Katakuri spoke in a cold voice.
Gasping you looked up into his crimson eyes, "Kata?" you whispered. For a moment you thought he may speak, his brows twitching and his eyes seeming to soften but before he could speak a word Nebula grabbed his hand again and stepped forward.
"Don't even. You are so desperate it's pathetic. Why would he ever want someone like you when he can have someone like me?!" she hissed.
"Now you just wait one sec.." Oven growled moving to say something to the woman but his older brother quickly came to her defense, letting out a deep growl.
"No. She is right..." Katakuri said in a deep voice, "...I would never want her." he huffed.
It was like someone had stabbed a knife straight through your heart. Your lip quivered and tears filled your eyes. Before anything more could be said you stumbled to your feet and ran as fast as you could. You could hear Oven and Daifuku scolding their brother but you didn't stop, knowing your heart wouldn't be able to take anymore of his hurtful words. Getting to your room you quickly grabbed your duffel bag from the wardrobe and tossed it to the bed. Grabbing all of your things you started stuffing them inside. You were so caught up you didn't even hear your name being called until you were spun around and looked up to see a concerned looking Brulee standing there.
Looking down at her friends tear streaked face she furrowed her brows, "Y/n? Y/n what's wrong?" she asked. Looking to the bag on the bed she snapped her eyes back to the omega. "Where are you..."
"I'm leaving Bru..."
"But you just got back and..."
"I can't..." chocking on a sob you looked up at her. "I can't stay anymore... I can't watch them... I can't..." Overcome with sobs you turned back and continued packing. "I can't watch him love another..." you finished.
Shaking her head she tried grabbing things from her, "He doesn't love her y/n he..."
"He called her his love... he said we weren't friends anymore... he...." feeling a sharp pain in your heart you cried out and closed your eyes. "...he said he would never want mmmee..."
Feeling y/n take the things from her, she just stood there in shock, this couldn't be true, Katakuri would never say such things to y/n. Looking to the omega that was in pure anguish she opened and closed her mouth a few times. She didn't know what to say, didn't know how to make her hurt go away. "Y/n that woman she..."
"She's perfect for him..." you sobbed. Grabbing your sword you wiped your eyes and looked down, feeling your heart clench again, "She's beautiful and smart. She's tall enough to hug him, to kiss him, to...Her family is rich, has things your mother could use and she..." Biting your lip and closing your eyes you subconsciously placed your hand over your lower abdomen, "she can give him children." you whispered, feeling another round of tears roll down your cheeks. "I have nothing to offer him Bru."
Feeling her own eyes leaking tears she blinked. "But you love him."
Tying off your bag you took a deep breath. "And it's because I love him that I have to let him go." you sighed out, feeling one of your tears hit your hand.
Not knowing what else to say she watched as the female tossed her bag on her shoulder and grabbed her sword. Wiping her eyes she looked down at her, "Promise you will write?"
Nodding you gave her a sad smile. Moving forward you grew to your larger height so you could hug her better. "Thank you Bru... for being my friend, for everything. Please tell everyone I said goodbye and I'm sorry. I love you."
"I love you too y/n. Please stay safe." she sniffled.
Nodding you pulled away and gave her one last look before you walked out the door. After rounding up the majority of your crew you walked down the dock to your small ship. It wasn't the grandest ship, only a single mast but it was yours. You had worked and saved for years to finally buy a ship so you could travel the sea, hoping to find something on your father. Boarding The Golden Night you walked to the stern railing and sighed, watching Toto Land as you started sailing away. After being gone for two years you were happy to be able to come back, knowing that even though you had yet again come up empty handed in the search for your father you had Katakuri and your other friends. Now though it seemed the only thing you had left was to find your dad, whoever he was. Blinking you felt another tear fall from your lashes, "Goodbye Kit-Kat." you whispered.

Shots and Guilt
First, Previous(Chap. 23), Ao3
Word count: 3610
Warnings: Gun, Blood and Injury, (kinda) Torture, Knives, Bloodlust, Smoking, Underage Drinking, Drinking and Driving, Gore, Skipping a Meal, Alcohol (even more of it), Guilt, Choking, Mention of Past Murder, Panic Attack, Self Harm
This really isn't a nice chapter. If anyone needs it I can make a summary of it. Just leave a comment or send me an ask if that's the case. Stay safe.
Virgil listened to the sound of the rain pattering against the car and the radio woman report what had happened in Aunt Lian's block earlier this night.
Glitch monsters.
He dug around the glove compartment until he found Uncle Remy's cigarettes, hidden under the ammunition, lit one and took a drag. He watched the smoke curl and opened the window just by an inch to release it into the night.
Destroyed street lights.
He glanced at the Seven11 Remy had disappeared in about half an hour ago and lit his lighter again, watching the tiny flame dance in the stale light of the car lamp.
Messed up electronics.
A shadowy figure stood next to his window and Virgil glanced over at them. They were holding a knife. Good for them.
"Fuck off," Virgil mumbled tiredly and took another drag.
"Open the car door if you know what's good for you, kid," the guy demanded.
Virgil couldn't help but chuckle at that. He took his feet off the headboard and sat up slowly.
"If I know what's good for myself? If you know what's good for yourself you're going to fucking piss off now!"
"Kid-!" he thrust the knife at the window gap and Virgil kicked open the door hitting them square on the chest. They stumbled back and growled. "I'm going to fucking kill you, brat!"
Vigil stepped out of the car, taking the butterfly knife and the colt from the glove compartment with him.
"No, you're not," he stepped on his cigarette to put it out.
The robber was big. About twice as tall and five times as wide as Virgil, all muscles and heavy bones.
But at the sight of the gun, he froze. An uneasy smile took the place of the angry grimace.
They were in a lonely and dark parking lot. Nobody would look out of the window if they heard a gunshot or scream.
"Kid, don't do anything you're gonna regret. I'm part of the Trulow family. They're gonna hunt you down if you shoot me. No ones gonna find you're body! I bet yer mother's gonna get worried sick if her kid doesn't come home!"
Again Virgil laughed humourlessly.
The rain was cold on his skin and his hair stuck to his face and neck but he couldn't care less. There was that feeling in his chest again that he knew Papa knew well, even if he never wanted to talk about it, the feeling he couldn't imagine living without even after being told a thousand times that it wasn't normal, that he wasn't supposed to talk about with people outside of the family. That intoxicating feeling - better than any liquor, pills or joint but no less dangerous. "It's what makes our kind what we are," Uncle Emile had once said. The man across from him knew it too. Virgil could tell. Otherwise, he wouldn't flinch back. Wouldn't be able to see it in Virgil's smile and his every movement like a bloody red threat.
The bloodlust felt like a promise in his lungs.
"Jokes on you," he slowly walked towards the man. "My mothers dead. And if you're really a Trulow, how come I've never seen you on the Christmas card? I'm sure I'd remember a face as ugly as yours."
"What-?" the man stumbled backwards.
"If you want to make it in this city you really ought to learn who to threaten and who's out of your league. You're just another sewer rat. I'm like a motherfucking prince to you."
The man fell back on his ass, crawling backwards.
"Run along now, rat. Wouldn't want mommy to worry, would we?"
The man scrambled to his feet and turned to run.
Virgil raised the gun, aimed and fired.
A scream cut through the air as the man crashed into the concrete.
He sobbed and whimpered, staring at the blood sprayed over the ground as if he couldn't believe it was his. As if the realisation that there was now a hole where his foot connected to his leg hadn't quite made its way into his thick head yet.
"Sorry," Virgil said as he got closer and knelt down next to him. "Couldn't resist. You better not tell my Pa about this."
He dug his hand into the wound until his fingers found the bullet, ignoring the pained screams.
"He hates when I use guns. Which I honestly don't get. I mean, he uses them all the time! Bloody double standards," he inspected the bloody bullet in his hand.
"Who- Who the fuck are you?" the man sobbed.
Virgil grinned. "Have you ever heard those rumours? About Professor Logic having a child?"
The man's eyes widened in terror.
Virgil heard the doors of the Seven11 slide open and stood up.
Remy raised an eyebrow as he got closer.
"Jesus, can't I leave you alone for five minutes?" he asked.
"That was half an hour. And he started it. He wanted to rob the car or something. I only used one bullet if that's what you're worried about," Virgil tossed the gun over to him and Remy caught it in his free hand.
"Whatever. Just get in the car, hon. I got slushies and alcohol. We can stop at Crispy Creme if you want to."
"Sure," Virgil picked up the knife the would-be robber had dropped and jogged back to the car. "I hope they have warm doughnuts."
"They better. Oh, and there should be some baby wipes in the glove compartment. I'm not letting you eat with that guy's blood on your hands. Who knows what's been in that-? Wait, did you steal one of my cigs?"
"...No," Virgil claimed and was suddenly very interested in cleaning every crevice of his hand.
"Don't fucking lie to me. Just don't smoke in the car next time and ask before you take one. Emile doesn't like when the car smells," Remy handed him one of the slushies.
"Sorry," Virgil took a long sip until the pain of bain freeze bloomed behind his forehead before digging around in Remy's bag until he found the alcohol..
"Pour me some in too, would ya?"
"Sure," Virgil unscrewed the cap and poured some in his own then a bit more in Remy's cup. "More or is this good?"
Remy glanced over at him.
"Who the fuck do you think I am?"
"More it is."
"Exactly."
"I swear you're that "Two shots of vodka" vine," Virgil shook his head.
Remy chuckled. "I take zero offence to that. Also, I gotta make sure you don't drink too much. You have school tomorrow."
"You're literally drinking and driving. And I'm going to school trollied tomorrow whether you like it or not."
"I think this is why your father hates me."
"He doesn't hate you. He can't. You and Uncle Emile are like his only friends."
"Doesn't he also have that flower boy?" Remy pulled into the Crispy Creme's parking lot.
"That's his boyfriend," Virgil corrected and took another sip. Slowly he felt the alcohol kick in.
"You mean your new father, then?"
"I guess. Not officially yet but hopefully soon. He's nice. On the other hand, if he moves in I'll have to hide my skull collection."
Virgil followed Remy out of the car and into the shop.
The sugary sweet smell of warm doughnuts filled the air.
Remy bought a box, tipped a twenty and pulled Virgil back out with him.
"I'm not letting you drink any more," he decided. "You're not going to school drunk, kid."
"Yes, I am. Fuck off and give me a doughnut."
"Either you stop drinking or you don't get any doughnuts."
Virgil glared at him and took a doughnut.
"Fine."
---
He still had a headache when he went to math class later.
He wasn't sure if it was just the hungover or also something else.
Not that it mattered. He had already learned the shit, the man, whose name he couldn't remember, was explaining incredibly badly at the blackboard.
Instead of paying attention he stared blankly out of the window.
Slowly the sleep deprivation was also starting to catch up with him, making his eyes heavy.
Janus had texted him that they wouldn't be coming to school for the day, which made it even more dull than usual.
He should have stayed drunk.
Then it at least would've been somewhat interesting.
Virgil woke up again to the sound of the school bell. He blinked a few times, trying to reorient himself and sighed.
At least math was over.
His next lesson was English, then Chemistry.
Or maybe he should just skip.
It wouldn't make a difference.
Maybe he could find a nice spot for the graffiti design he'd come up with based on the last body he'd found in the sewers.
The rats had eaten the fuckers stomach out and Virgil had set the eyebrows or rather what had been left of the eyebrows, on fire before taking a few pictures for reference.
He'd just have to come up with something for when Janus asked where he'd gotten the idea.
Virgil left the classroom and ducked into the nearest bathroom, locking the stall door behind himself before climbing out of the window. He wondered briefly how long it'd stay locked before someone noticed that it wasn't occupied at all. Probably at least until the toilets were cleaned. Whenever that'd be.
A sports teacher was preparing a lesson by the tracks but she was too focused on the task at hand to notice Virgil sneak to the fence and climb over it. He gave the school a middle finger over his shoulder as he walked away. For all he cared, every single person in there could go fuck themselves. Especially the principal.
Papa was working - at the university today - so Virgil went home to drop off his backpack and picked up his graffiti bag, headphones and the sketchbook he'd drawn the design in..
He strolled through the streets of downtown, avoided a few coppers and took an underground to take him wherever. As long as there were big empty walls there he didn't care.
He got out at the sixth stop.
Virgil didn't make a habit of spending time uptown.
Occasionally maybe, for family celebrations or when he and Janus planned heists but other than that he stayed in the part of town he had been raised in.
But that didn't mean that he didn't know the streets and alleyways, the shops, public buildings and skyscrapers made of glass, like towers out of a fairy tale. Papa was of the firm opinion that knowledge was power and he'd made sure that Virgil knew everything he needed about Woethough.
It didn't take him long to find a good wall.
The back of the main police station was just painfully boring.
Virgil pulled the half mask he used for vigilante business over his face, partly to avoid someone seeing his face and partly because of the fumes. Then he opened the sketch book and pulled two spray cans out of his bag, shaking them.
This'd be fun.
He worked far slower than usual, the anxiety over being spotted by the damned pigs making him pack up the cans he wasn't using immediately, so he'd be able to make a quick escape, and check for witnesses every five minutes.
By some miracle no one came by. For a while, he had the insistent feeling of being watched but couldn't find anyone.
He watched the flames, body and rats take shape with every colour he added until he got to the point where more would only make it worse.
Virgil took a few steps back and grinned. He signed it with his usual spider and took a photo to send Janus. They weren't online so he didn't bother waiting for a reply and packed up his stuff.
It was around noon now and he was getting hungry but ignored the feeling. He could eat later.
Instead he walked around some more, pickpocketed a businessman he recognized from TV - Mr Grimm or something like that - and bought a few new markers from the stolen money, before climbing onto the roof of a library to test them out.
At eight he took a train back to downtown.
It was already dark thanks to autumn finally taking over properly and most other teens were probably either suicidal, gang members or at home.
This was the beauty of the city.
As soon as the sun went down the few laws that were actually followed became meaningless.
Now the city belonged to the street rats and the lawless. They were all animals. From the racoons and possums, over the henchmen and thieves up to the mafia and his family.
All animals.
Hungry for blood.
Greedy and destructive.
Virgil absolutely loved it.
He passed a few of Uncle Jeremy's men beating up a cop with a crowbar in an alleyway, greeting him as he passed, watched a woman smash a chair over the head some guy who had tried to grope her, dishevelled and angry, and grinned at the raven and racoon, which were fighting viciously over some small animal one of them had killed.
There was a light burning in the living room when he got home. Not the ceiling light - it was far too muted for that.
He unlocked the front door and shut it behind himself. It was warm in here.
"I'm home!" he called, taking off his shoes and jacket.
No reply.
"Papa?"
Still no reply.
Virgil frowned, waiting for a moment longer and went into the living room.
Papa was slumped on the couch, fingers tracing an empty glass. Next to it on the table was an empty bottle of whiskey, that Virgil knew had been more than half full just this morning. He'd opened it after all.
Slowly Papa looked up as if only noticing him standing in the doorway now.
"...V'gil," he slurred.
"How much did you drink?" Virgil asked with a frown. He couldn't remember ever having seen Papa drunk.
He blinked at the bottle and gestured vaguely with one hand. "J'st a little."
Virgil sighed.
"Well, you clearly had enough. You're fucking trollied. Let's get you to bed, shall we? You'll hate yourself for this tomorrow, you know?"
"Already do," Papa mumbled as Virgil put his arm over his shoulder to support him.
Papa leaned on him heavily and Virgil staggered under the weight slightly but managed to bring him to the stairs, where Papa could also hold onto the bannister, taking some of the weight of his shoulders.
"You look so much like your mother," Papa suddenly said, just as they reached the second floor and Virgil almost let him fall in surprise.
Papa didn't talk about her.
He never did.
"She had her hair like that for a while too," Papa continued. "Then she grew it out longer. She looked so beautiful. Like an angel."
Virgil kicked open the door to Papa's room.
He didn't say anything, almost forgetting how to breathe. Papa was actually talking about her.
Carefully Virgil let him slide onto the bed and ducked to take off his shoes.
"I didn't mean to kill her," Papa said, anguish in his voice as he began combing through Virgil's hair with one hand. "I really didn't. I  just- I just wanted to scare her."
His hand slid over Virgil's cheek slowly and even though Papa was looking at him Virgil had the feeling that he wasn't seeing him.
No.
Papa was seeing her.
"I didn't think it'd be that fragile," Papa's hand slid down further and settled on Virgil's neck. A jolt of panic shot through him. "I didn't think it'd break that easily."
Papa began to squeeze.
"I just grabbed her and pressed down."
His grip began to hurt and Virgil tried to gasp for breath, clawing at the hand on his throat.
"And then she was dead. Just like that."
Blackspots appeared in Virgil's vision and he swung out wildly.
His fist hit Papa on the temple and he collapsed onto the bed.
Virgil gasped and coughed, stumbling back towards the door and slammed it as soon as he was on the hallway.
He still couldn't breathe.
Why the fuck couldn't he breathe?!
His vision swam, from tears this time instead of lack of oxygen.
Was this how she had felt?
In her last moments, getting choked by the man she had loved and trusted?
He didn't want this. This panic in his chest keeping him from breathing and making the world around him blur. At least not because of Papa. Not him. Never because of Papa. Papa was supposed to be safe. Papa protected him. Papa helped him calm down.
Papa had just tried to kill him.
Virgil sobbed.
Papa had tried to kill him the same way he'd killed her.
Virgil barely remembered to grab his jacket as he ran out, slamming the front door and running down the dark street.
He stopped at the North Bridge and collapsed against the railing.
The air was now so cold it almost burned in his lungs as he finally managed to take a breath. His throat hurt. He carefully wrapped his hand around it. It'd bruise.
 "You look so much like your mother."
Virgil stumbled on through the streets. His reflection in a dark shop window caught his attention and made him stop.
His cheeks were streaked with black.  His eyes were covered almost completely by messy black hair.
So she had had shoulder-long hair at one point.
Virgil grabbed a hand full of hair and pulled at it until a few strands ripped off.
He stared down at them.
He didn't want Papa to see her in his place.
The lights of another store, also reflecting in the shop window he was standing in front of caught his attention.
Did they have bleach there?
He crossed the street.
The shop was empty and Virgil was barely aware of the song playing over the speakers, so quiet that it was drowned out by his mind.
He grabbed two cartons.
Bleach and the first hair dye his hand touched. He didn't care. He had no idea what colour her hair had been. He just didn't want black.
He didn't bother to wait for his change as he handed the cashier a twenty and fled the store.
Back at home, Virgil locked himself in the bathroom and ripped open the bleach carton, barely skimming the instructions.
The chemical smell filled the room as he spread it over his hair and when he was done he had to open a window to breathe.
He set a timer on his phone and busied himself with washing off his make up while he let it set.
Once he was done with that he began pulling at the skin of his arms and digging his nails into the scars to keep his thoughts from spiralling again.
The timer went off and he rinsed his hair out.
It was almost white now.
He ripped open the secong carton.
Purple.
For fucks sake.
He spread it over his hair, careful to get it everywhere.
If he was going to look stupid he might as well make sure it wasn't splotchy.
He wasn't hungry anymore but he still went into the kitchen and warmed up some soup, forcing himself to eat, despite the gag reflex that kicked in a few times.
Then he washed his hair again.
He didn't bother looking at the result before he grabbed the razor and scissors. Once he was done he pulled on a turtle neck to hide the forming bruise, poured a glass of water and grabbed an aspirin.
For a few minutes he stood in front of Papa's door, frozen until he managed to go in, put both items on the nightstand and immediately flee again.
Then he once again grabbed his jacket and left, locking the door behind himself.
He wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. At least not if he stayed here.
---
A knock on the window snapped Janus out of the half-asleep half-awake state they'd been in for hours.
Slowly they stood up, the floor cold against their bare feet, and frowned at the figure in the window.
They grabbed a glass water bottle as a weapon and cautiously opened it.
The figure slid inside.
"Virgil?" Janus frowned and set down the bottle. "The fuck are you doing here?!"
"You owe me," Virgil rasped. "Five nights. From that bet."
Janus blinked, their brain catching up slowly.
"The one we made for my parent's wedding?"
Virgil nodded.
He was upset. Even in the dark Janus could tell.
They closed the window, cutting off the cold draft, and Virgil took off his shoes.
For a moment they contemplated what to say.
They were sure that something had happened.
They just didn't know what.
"I won't ask," they finally said, "but if you want to talk... I'm here for you, okay?"
Virgil nodded.
"Thanks."
He didn't say anything else. His voice was hoarse.
Janus led him over to their bed and climbed in, letting him follow.
He'd cut his hair.
It also looked lighter than usual, though they couldn't be sure in the bad lighting.
Janus had almost fallen asleep again when they hear a muffled sob.
They looked over at Virgil again.
He was crying.
So something bad had happened.
For a moment they hesitated before they wrapped their arms around Virgil and pulled him against their chest.
"It'll be okay," they promised.
Virgil just latched onto them and buried his face in their shirt.

Dirty and Useless (Part 1)
Summary: Jason Todd had always said there were only two types of cop; Dirty and Useless. So when Y/N comes along with a spunky partner and a laughable code name it’s safe to say they don’t exactly see eye to eye. But if they’ve got anything in common it’s their secrets. Both are hiding behind masks whether they know it or not. Will the Robin get the Nightingale to come out of the shadows?  Pairing: Titans!Jason Todd x Reader  Word Count: 1234 Warnings: Swearing
Tumblr media
"Morning Y/N!" Melisa chorused with a grin, climbing into her colleague's car and handing the driver a travel mug of F/D. "Thanks for picking me up today, the car should be back from the mechanic tonight so you won't be stuck with me for much longer.
Y/N chuckled and murmured around the lip of her mug as they pulled out of the driveway, "Much as I'd like that, Mel, we've both just been assigned a new case. So I guess we're stuck with each other a while longer."
Melisa gave an exaggerated groan and nursed her own coffee. The pair were always on assignment, rarely did the two get time off and even then the holidays were often tense. The life of a federal agent was like that, especially when you were one of the Sparrows. Or at least that's what the others over at the Federal Burea of Investigation called them.
Y/N and Melisa were fairly famous among both the FBI and the CIA. They had the highest closing rate, having solved more cases than anyone else. And to top it all off they were versatile, whether it be an under-over case, a stakeout, an interrogation or a good old fashion high-speed chase, you called the Sparrows. So neither was exactly surprised that they'd been assigned a new case so quickly.
"What have we got this time?"
Y/N gave the woman a bemused side grin, "Something fun."
***
Y/N parked her car in front of the covert FBI headquarters and turned in her seat to face Melisa. The H/C haired woman produced a manila folder and began pulling out photos to show her partner. The two sat in solemn silence for a while as they examined the gruesome pictures and the mutilated bodies behind each.
"So these five bodies drop, I get that bit." Melisa handed back the images. "But why are they involving the feds, moreover us?"
Y/N didn't look up from the folder as she said, "These photos weren't done by our guys, they were taken by the murderer and sent to Gotham PD addressed to the Robin."
"Okay fine, it's a big-league killer and we get to catch him, but it says the bodies were from all over the country. Why send the case all the way to Chicago, especially if the photos are for Robin?"
Y/N shuffled through the file again and pulled out two new images. One depicted a couple laying broken by a severed trapeze swing. Another showed someone called 'Atlas the Strong Man'. She let Melisa scrutinise them as she exited the car wandered to a nearby food stand. When Y/N returned her partner was standing there with an expression that asked; Well?
"So the couple," Y/N handed Melisa a doughnut, pausing long enough to lick the sugar from her fingers. "Worked at the same circus as all of the other vics. But get this, they died fifteen years ago, their ropes were disintegrated with hydrofluoric acid."
"The same acid used on the new bodies?" Melisa guessed, ripping a chunk from her sugary treat. "And strongman? When did he drop?"
"That's the thing, he hasn't. Clayton Williams is still kicking, he's the last one from Haly's circus."
"Is he a suspect?"
"Nah," Y/N shrugged, leading the other woman into their office building. "Williams is clean, besides hydrofluoric acid sound familiar?"
Melisa licked her lips as she plopped down onto her desk chair, "Do we still have contacts in the Maroni crime family from the Tony Zucco case?"
"Sure do."
***
How had everything gone to shit so fast?
It was supposed to have been a simple mission. They'd done the hard part in figuring out that Nick Zucco was the melting man - a name the press had given the killer, one that the girls had delighted in taunting. This was supposed to be the easy part, sending the police in and waiting as back up that they likely didn't need. One moment Y/N was stretching her legs up and down the sidewalk while Melisa monitored the police scanner. And then the next moment...
"Help me."
"Where's that backup? We need that backup!"
"Send in the Sparrows!"
Melisa had bolted from the car before Y/N could ask what had happened. There was perhaps only one of the major difference between the two women; Melisa could outrun Y/N any day. So the H/C girl was left to eat dust as she made her way into the abandoned building. The emptiness of the place and the utter silence within should have been the first give away that something was amiss. The second was the grunting and the screaming.
"Mel!" Y/N yelled, racing toward the anguished cries. "Mel! Melisa!"
The H/C haired woman skidded around the corner just as a caped man landed one last punch. Gun raised the woman approached, taking in the countless bodies groaning on the floor. Melisa laid beneath the assailant's feet, her body curled in on itself as she whimpered. Y/N trained her firearm on the strange man as she crept toward his shadowed back.
"Put your hands up," She forced her fleeting confidence to arise once again as her hands shook.
It wasn't that Y/N was scared, or that she hadn't been in countless situations like this. Rather, it was the fact that this man had taken down Melisa and that wasn't supposed to be possible. Not for an everyday serial murderer like Nick Zucco. But who else would be here? Wearing a cape and mask and a chest plate?
Y/N realised her mistake the moment she got within arms reach of the man. He lunged for her, clamping a hand onto her wrist even as she shot, once, twice. The man didn't even flinch. What in gods name was he wearing? She'd just shot him point blank and he was completely fine. Panic would have risen in the girl if this wasn't her job. If bad guys and murderers and villains weren't her life.
He twisted her arm behind her back, grunting when she threw her head back and spun out of his grip. Y/N let years of training come to the surface as she blocked the man's fists blow for blow. She dodged and dipped, dancing away from his sweeping kicks and reeling fists. Something in the fighting style was familiar to Y/N, she knew it well.
So when the man twisted the girl was perfectly delighted to find his entire left side unguarded - just as she'd predicted. Y/N threw a swift punch to his side, driving an elbow up into his nose the next moment. The man stumbled backwards giving Y/N the perfect window. With all the force she could muster the girl drove her foot into his chest, sending him sprawling onto the floor underneath one of few lights.
"Dead." Y/N growled, gun aimed between the man's mask covered eyes.
He heaved an exhausted breath, glaring up at the girl, "Who the fuck are you?"
"I'm a Sparrow," She bared her teeth, "The question is; Who do you think you are?"
"I'm Robin, bitch." Something hissed beside them and then smoke exploded to life through the room. A foot connected with Y/N's wrist, sending her gun flying with a horrible crack.
"See you around Sparrow."

Sonny’s Preschool, 1983
It was Dean’s third day of preschool, and although he’s made a bunch of friends, there were times in the day when he would find himself randomly missing his family. He missed his dad’s voice, the warmth of his mother’s embrace, and playing with his new baby brother, Sammy.
Today, it happened during lunch. He had a nibble of his sandwich, demolished his small pack of Oreos, took a sip of his juice, but that was it. With his stomach swirling with the feelings of missing his dad, mom, and baby brother, he didn’t have an appetite.
Dean’s eyes began to water when suddenly a small voice caught his attention. “Hi,” his classmate, Y/N, beamed, occupying the empty seat beside him. Dean always described her as… bouncy. She opened her Princess lunch box which revealed a container inside. “Are you missing your mommy and daddy again?” She asked. Dean met her large sparkling eyes and nodded in affirmation. She smiled in return. “It’s okay, Dean. They’re going to come back and pick you up after school like they always do. I really like your mom, she’s really nice,” Y/N smiled. “She makes really good cookies.”
“I like my mom too,” Dean mumbled.
“What did your mommy make you for lunch today?” Y/N asked.
“My dad made me my lunch. I got a ham and cheese sammich, Oreos, and juice.”
“Ooh! I love Oreos!” She chirped. “My mommy said because I was a good girl the whole week, I get to have two pieces of cherry pie. Do you wanna have one? It’s really yummy.” Y/N pulled out the container in her lunch box, settling it in front of her. She peeled off the lid and recklessly dropping it back into her tin lunch box, creating a loud crashing sound. The teacher looked up at her with a slight frown, catching his glimpse on her.
“Y/N, please place your things nicely and quietly in your lunch box. That was really loud and it scared some of our friends,” Mr. Gibbons told her.
“Sorry, Mr. Gibbons,” she apologized with a shy voice. When her teacher smiled, Y/N returned the gesture before resuming the task at hand. Without her knowing, Mr. Gibbons continued to watch Y/N’s interaction with Dean, taking mental anecdotes that he will be recording down later so that he could share the precious exchange with both children’s parents.
Y/N pulled out one of the many crumpled napkins from inside her lunch box, pushing Dean’s sandwich out of the way before placing the napkin on the table in front of him, smoothing it out with her tiny hands. She then, as gently as she could, scooped up one of the slices of pie onto Dean’s napkin. “There!” she chirped happily.
“Thank you. Pie is my favorite food!” Dean beamed, looking at his slice of pie with excitement, before focusing back on her.
“Me too!” She gushed, smiling over at him as she pulled out a crumpled napkin, smoothing it out in front of her, and taking the pie from inside her container and placing it on her napkin. She pulled out one fork, and handed it over to you Dean, then searched her lunch box for another one, but frowned when there wasn’t any.
“Y/N, would you like another fork?” Mr. Gibbons asked, his voice kind as usual.
“Yes please!” She replied, eyes sparking again.
Dean was too young at the time to understand his emotions, but there was something in the way that she looked that made him wish he could always be close to her. That they could be best friends forever.
They were best friends all through preschool.
--
Lawrence Elementary School, 1989
Dean got into an argument with his best friend Castiel (Cass for short) and was currently not on speaking terms, which is why he was sitting alone, eating his packed lunch. He was sitting on a different table, not his usual spot, so when the group that usually sat there approached, they greeted him kindly.
“Hey, Dean,” Y/N called out, sitting beside him.
“Hey, Y/N,” Dean flashed her a small smile, a hint of embarrassment displaying across his features.
“Where’s Cass?” She asked, her friends taking their seat on either sides of the two of them.
“We got into a fight and now we’re not really friends anymore,” he frowned.
“Hey, that’s okay. You can hang out with us if you want,” she smiled, patting his shoulders, making Dean smile. He scanned over her group of friends. He recognized them. There was Meg, Bela, and Donna.
“You betcha!” Donna gave him a thumbs up, before chomping on her powdered doughnut.
“Didn’t your mom say to eat that last?” Meg chided.
“Whatever—” Donna grumbled, setting her doughnut down on the table for later.
“Hey, for doing really good in school, my mom packed me two pieces of pecan pie! You want one?” Y/N asked, wanting nothing more than for Dean to feel better. She understood how he sad he must feel not being with his best friend.
Dean’s eyes widened, definitely wanting a piece. He was not going to pass up pie! He loved pie. She pulled out a napkin from her X-men Lunch box, placing it neatly in front of him before using a fork to scoop up the pie slowly and carefully, setting it on his napkin, leaving the fork with it.
“I’ve got a fork,” Dean grinned, handing her back the fork.
“Oh, okay,” she smiled, taking it from him. He watched her do the same for herself, the sight of her action almost feeling like déjà vu, but he shrugged and enjoyed his new company. For a bunch of girls, he thought they were pretty cool.
--
Lawrence High School, 1996
It was now Senior Year and as usual, Dean was sitting under the bleachers during his free period with a pack of beer sitting beside him, a couple of the bottles empty.
“Always the bad boy, aren’t you, Winchester?” His thoughts were caught off when he heard a familiar voice. He looked up and rolled his eyes. “Aren’t you a bit young to be drinking alcohol?” Y/N reprimanded.
“Not in Mexico,” he grinned, raising his half empty bottle in the air. This time she rolled her eyes at him.
“Where did you even get the booze?” Y/N asked.
“That’s none of your business. What are you even doing here anyways? Shouldn’t a goody two-shoe like yourself be in the library studying?”
She cleared her throat. “I am not a goody two-shoes.”
“Yeah? Is that why you’re here under the bleachers?” Dean quirked an eyebrow, his eyes boring into her. As he did, he couldn’t help but really look at her. They had been classmates for years, but he’s never really taken the time to pay attention.
She was cute.
“It’s my free period,” she stated simply.
“I know. And you’re usually in the library. I see you in there with what’s his face all the time, noses buried in a book.”
“His name is Michael, if you forgot.”
“Whatever.”
“Besides, we broke up. That’s why I’m not in the library,” she sighed, taking a seat beside Dean, and snatching the bottle from his hands, tanking the rest of it’s contents in one go. Dean looked at her with a shocked expression. He was definitely not expecting that. “It’s been a while since I had a beer,” she confessed, leaning her head against one of the bleacher beams.
“You drink?” Dean questioned.
“Yeah, but I stopped when Michael and me started dating. He wasn’t into that stuff. Now that I think about it, he was extremely controlling. I don’t even know why I was with him,” she sighed.
“The money?” He teased.
“Tch. Who do you think I am? I don’t care about the money.”
“I was kidding,” Dean admitted.
“You know what I think it was? I think I was so drawn into him because he was the only guy who actually put in an effort to be with me. I turned him down twice before we got together, you know that? And now… he’s dumped me for Miss Teacher’s pet,” she spat, referring to her old friend.
“Weren’t you and Bela best friends in elementary school?” Dean asked, opening a new bottle of beer and handing it to her.
“Yeah, we were. But then middle school happened, and she got her boobs. After that, the rest was history. She became a brown nosing bitch,” she hissed. “Megs chilling with the gothic chicks, and Donna… well, she’s Donna,” Y/N’s frown quickly changed into a smile. “I wish she had free period right now. She’s know exactly how to cheer me up.”
“Hey, I got booze! I’m helping aren’t I?” Dean joked, lightly shoving her with his elbow.
His action made her laugh, and Dean couldn’t help but smile wide. “Yeah, thanks,” she rolled her eyes playfully. “Hey…” Y/N started, rummaging through her bag. “I bought two slices of pie this morning. One was supposed to be for Michael, but since the douche ditch my ass, you want it?” She offered, handing him an individually packed slice of apple pie. “It’s from Breadbury’s,” she added.
“Oh, fuck yeah. I love that place!” Dean happily accepted.
“Me too! And I love the name of the place. It always makes me laugh,” Y/N giggled, taking out her own apple pie, handing Dean a fork at the same time.
“Thanks. The Bradbury’s are a funny bunch. Their daughter is a little weird though,” Dean commented.
“Yeah, she is, but she’s adorable. I used to babysit her when she was younger. She played video games the whole time! Literally, easy money!” she laughed.
“Did you ever sneak Michael in?” Dean’s immature and hormonal mind took over.
“Nah. Every time I asked if he wanted to come over, he’d say it was a bad idea, and that he had to study.”
“Wow, all work and no play makes Mikey a dull guy. If it were me, I would have sneaked in all the time. Babysitting is always the best opportunity for some hot make out sessions,” he wiggled his brow, taking a large bit of pie.
Y/N laughed, throwing her head back. “Right? Being with Michael was a missed opportunity on so many hot and steamy make out sessions.”
“If I was your boyfriend, that’s all we’d do,” he winked.
“Is that so?” Y/N giggled.
“Hell yeah,” he grinned.
“You really are a bad boy, Dean Winchester. I like it.”

Ten Years Later, Sioux Fall, South Dakota
Today of all days, Singer’s Auto Shop was dead. They had a few cars in that they were trying to fix, but other than that, it was quiet. No oil changes, safety checks… dead.
“Hey Bobby, Benny and I are going on our lunch breaks!” Dean called out to his uncle, who was locked in his office upstairs doing paper work.
“You got thirty minutes!” Bobby shouted.
Dean and his buddy since college, Benny, headed out towards the front of the shop and towards Bobby’s house, which was conveniently next door. They planted themselves on the front porch where they usually sat, and as always, Benny’s girlfriend had prepared him something amazing.
“What’d Pam make ya this time?” Dean asked.
“Looks like chicken fried steak,” he whistled, obviously overjoyed with his home-cooked meal.
“Dang, maybe I should find myself an older woman that can cook too,” Dean laughed, pulling out the turkey and cheese sandwich he made himself the night before.
“Or maybe just get yourself a girlfriend, period,” the Southern man chuckled. “C’mon man. It’s time to move on from Lisa. College was a distant chapter in our lives and now it’s time to move on, cowboy.”
“Yeah. Besides, Lisa couldn’t cook for shit. If the next girl that waltz into my life can make a damn good pie, I’ll consider her,” Dean replied, both men laughing.
While the two men ate their lunch, a red buggy car came rolling in, sounding not very pleasant. “That doesn’t sound good,” Benny muttered with his mouth full.
“You keep eating, I’ll handle this one,” Dean popped the last bite of his sandwich into his mouth before getting up, wiping his hands on his oil-stained denim.
“Hi, is this Singer’s Auto Shop?” A girl walked out. She looked a little disheveled. Her hair was up in a high bun, strands of her hair falling out, and her rusty red colored tank top was half tucked into her short high waisted shorts.
“Yeah, what can we do for you?” Dean asked, jogging over to her.
“My car started making this weird sound and then she started smoking,” she told him.
Dean looked at the old car, noting that it seemed vaguely familiar, but then again, he was a mechanic. He’s seen and worked on all sorts of cars – domestic and foreign. “Well, I don’t mean to be rude or anything, but it’s a hunk of junk. You’re better off buying a new car. It would be much cheaper in the long run.”
“I’m a little low in the bank right now, so could you just add some duct tape so I can be on my way?” She snapped, obviously offended by his remark.
“Sure thing, Sweetheart,” he flashed her a forced smile, before gesturing her over to the passenger seat.
She rolled her eyes and plopped herself into the car while Dean jumped into the driver’s seat. He grunted at that minimal space in the car, reaching downwards for the lever to adjust his seat.
“Struggling over there?” She smirked, her voice hinting her amusement.
“Damn, you’re short,” he responded, making her frown at the statement. Dean grinned in triumph, before driving the car to the garage.
She stood beside Dean as he lifted the hood, eyes going wide and jaw practically dropping to the floor. “What the hell is this?” He mumbled, taking in all the duct tape. “You really wasn’t kidding about the duct tape! Let me guess… you ran out and your only option was the shop? That’s why you’re here?”
“Bingo,” she snapped her fingers.
“You don’t just use duct tape to fix cars!” He snapped, glaring at her.
“Like I said, I’m a little low in the bank. Besides, I just started her back up. I haven’t drove this car since college.”
“What were you driving before you brought this girl back to life?” Dean was curious.
“My ex bought me a car. I left it behind when I left him,” he confessed, rolling her eyes.
“Listen lady, you’re better off buying a new car. This little bug is running its last breath, thanks to your lack of TLC.”
“TLC? Really? It’s a car,” she crossed her arms. “Look, I just need to make it as far away from Kansas as I can, you think you can help a girl out?”
“Sweetheart, I’m sorry to tell you, but this is the furthest away you’re going to get.”
“How do you even know that this is as far as I’m going to get? You haven’t even looked at it yet. I’m sure you can’t make any diagnosis without even trying.”
“I don’t even know where to begin! There’s duct tape everywhere! Tell me, how may times had this poor guzzler die out on you while on your expedition to who knows where?” Dean inquired. The woman beside him bit her bottom lip with guilt. “How many?” Dean reiterated.
Y/N sighed. “About six or seven times,” she confessed.
“Six or seven! Sweetheart, you’ve only managed to cross one state and it’s already broken down on you that many times? What’s in Kansas anyway that’s got you running for the hills? Let me guess. Controlling parents, maybe you’re a runaway bride, or maybe you running from trouble?”
She gulped. “We’ve all got our own story, but that doesn’t mean I have to tell a complete stranger about it,” she snapped. “But if you must know, I had a bad break up and I just wanted to start fresh.”
“Alright, alright. Fine. I’ll see what I can do,” Dean assured.
“Thanks. My name is Y/N, by the way.”
“Dean,” he smiled.
While Dean was tinkering away, she sat atop a table littered with items she assumed were tools and car parts. There were a few things on that table that she recognized, meaning, she’s seen them before but had no knowledge on what the hell they were called. Eventually, she got bored of the silence, needing some conversation to stimulate her mind.
“So…” she began, “you grew up around here? Bobby seems to know you really well. He your dad?”
“Nah, Bobby’s my uncle. My brother and I used to come here every summer while we were younger. My dad got me into cars, and he taught me everything I know, but it was bobby that taught me how to rebuild a car from all the scraps in the yard.”
“That’s great, then maybe you can fix mine?” She asked with hope.
“Oh, I’m trying. It took us all summer to build that car, and we didn’t even have the car fully assembled. We just had enough so that the car could run. This… this will be a miracle without me taking the entire thing apart.”
“Then let’s just hope a miracle does happen,” she threw him a thumbs up, and Dean shook his head. He knew this was going to be impossible to fix in a short amount of time. He’d need at least a week or two to fix up the mess she’d created.
Silence resumed its position, creating a bit of an awkwardness in the room. She was swinging her legs too and fro from her seat on a table, staring at Dean’s back. She couldn’t resist her eyes slowly following the muscle lines of his back, leading down to his perky ass, where she allowed herself to appreciate for a few seconds longer. Her eyes fell further downwards, admiring his jean clad bow legs. There was no way she could deny that Dean was attractive. And she also couldn’t ignore that there was something about him that was somewhat familiar.
Her mind drifted to her past. Once upon a time she knew a Dean back in Lawrence, but there was no way that this guy was him. The Dean she remembered was tall and skinny, however, the years had blurred his face from her memory. She couldn’t remember what he looked like. All she remembered was his name and the things he’s done.
“Hey, are you listening?” Dean asked. She saw his lips moving but she couldn’t seem to get out of her head. Her eyes landed on his face, realizing that his eyes were now her favorite shade of green. He had rough stubble framing his jaw and it made him look rugged, like he could own her in more ways than one. And then the freckles speckling on his cheeks made him look extremely boyish, which made him all the more handsome. There was no doubt that he was an attractive man. “Y/N, hey. Can you hear me? Where’s your head at?” He asked again, snapping his fingers this time, finally breaking her from the “sexy mechanic” induced trance she was imprisoned in.
“Sorry, what?” She batted her eyes.
“I was asking if you could pass me the rag,” he pointed beside her.
“Oh, sorry. I was… uh, I was just lost in my thoughts,” she gave him an embarrassed smile.
“It’s cool. Want to tell me what’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?”
Her cheeks went red. She couldn’t exactly tell him that she was checking him out. “Uh, just stuff,” she said, keeping her answer vague.
Dean watched her, his eyes trying to read passed her, and she could sense it. Her heart started to speed up, fearing that if he stared at her any longer, he’d see right through her. She felt the need to advert the attention elsewhere, otherwise she’d confess that she was checking out his ass and those strong bowlegs of his.
“Hey, could you do for a snack?” She piped. “I just remembered, I bought some peach and apple pie on the way. It’s actually sounding really good right about now,” she beamed.
“Uh…” Dean started, not sure what to make of her sudden change of subject and offer. “Yeah, sure. I could never say no to pie,” he smiled.
Y/N’s smile widened as she hopped off the table, bouncing over to the back of her car. She pulled out a woven picnic basket. “Are your coworker’s still around? We can all have some pie together.”
“Uh, yeah. I think Benny is working on a car outside, and Bobby is still up in the office. Let me get them.” She nodded. “Benny! Bobby! Get down here!” He yelled, his deep piercing voice making her jump. “Sorry,” he grinned meekly.
“What are you shoutin’ ‘about now?!” Bobby came storming down the steps from his office, while Benny walked in, dripping with sweat, the cloth in his hand doing nothing to stop the salty beads running down his skin.
“What’s up?” Benny asked.
“Snack break?” she added, Bobby and Benny looking down at her then to Dean.
Bobby’s attention fell back to Y/N and she noticed the way his features softened. “Yeah, okay. A snack wouldn’t hurt.”
Dean and Benny shared a passing glance, the edges of their lips curled upwards. Bobby has always had a soft spot for puppy dog eyes, the same eyes Y/N was currently impaling him with.
“Great! What we got here?” Benny rubbed his oil-stained hands together.
“Well, for starters, everyone needs to go wash their hands,” she ordered, pointing to each of them.
“You got forks don’t you? Why do we need to wash our hands?” Dean frowned, wanting nothing more than to get his taste buds swimming with pie.
“Hands. Wash’em.” She told them sternly, all three men groaning at her command.
Y/N smiled with triumph, following them to the sinks, washing her own hands. “Goody two-shoes,” she heard Dean mumble under his breath.
“I heard that,” she snarled, his shoulder’s going ridged.
When everyone gathered back around the basket, Y/N pulled out some napkins, setting them on the table. “Sorry guys, I don’t have any plates. I was planning on eating them straight out the tin,” she giggled shyly.
“That’s how Dean eats his pie,” Bobby revealed.
“No, I don’t,” Dean defended causing Benny to laugh.
As she was setting the napkins in front of each them, Dean had a flash of nostalgia. This has happened many times before.
“I’ve got peach and apple, choose your poison,” she chuckled at her own joke, which wasn’t all that funny or clever. Bobby and Benny were quick to choose their preference, but as she asked Dean, he stared at her a little longer than was comfortably acceptable. “Dean?”
“What?” He was lost in his thoughts, memories flashing before his eyes. All this time he thought something was familiar about her and now things were falling into place. “Sorry, uh… I’ll take apple.”
After pie and as the sun went down, Dean called it a day and invited Y/N to stay at his place. There was no way she could have rejected his offer considering she didn’t have the money to rent another motel if she wanted her car fixed. That and she had no place to go. With good faith, she said yes. And if anything were to happen to her, Bobby and Benny knew of their arrangements.
When they reached Dean’s apartment, Y/N complimented his place, saying that it was cozy, and definitely the home of a mechanic. She strolled his one-bedroom apartment, scanning the walls, looking at all the hung photos when one caught her eye. Dean stood behind her with anticipation. If she knew who was in that photo, then he was right about who she was.
“This… this is Sam… Sam Winchester… and that’s… you…” She spun around on her heel with wide eyes staring at him.
“Hi Y/N… it’s been a long time,” Dean smiled.

Sugar -- Fatgum x Fem!Reader [Lemon]
Oof, this has been a long time in the making AND it turned out way longer than I had planned.
Dedicated to @oniteeth10 whose OC was the inspiration behind the reader of this smut piece.
Plus I also stole ‘Fatgum’s fat cums’ from her.
Look at me writing things again. Don’t get your hopes up though 😂
- - -
It had been a wonderful date.
You grinned up at the man of your hour, watching him scarf down what had to have been his fifth order of takoyaki. His eyes were focused on the sidewalk ahead — either blissfully unaware of your fleeting glances or coyly ignoring them. Either way, you found yourself playfully nudging him as you walked.
“Hey, Fats…” you called up to the lumbering man beside you.
Two wide eyes met yours.
“I had fun tonight,” you said.
To your immense glee, you watched as his cheeks started to glow red. He looked away, quickly popping another takoyaki ball in his mouth.
“Well…” His shoulders fidgeted as he snuck in another snack. “Same here.” Eyes flickered back to you. “Yer good company.”
You beamed up at him and he gave a wriggling smile in return, quickly focusing back on his food.
It had been several weeks since he had squeezed his mass through the front door of the bakery you owned and ran in the downtown area of Osaka —your first meeting.
A cutesy sign in the window advertised a new menu item that you were offering for a limited time — doughnuts — and he wanted to try them out.
But you hadn’t been prepared for a single person to order three dozen of them right off the bat. Thankfully, he said he was perfectly happy waiting while you whipped up some more and, after disappearing for a few minutes to get the dough ready, you returned to chat while the ghostly hands of your quirk finished up the frying process.
You had seen him around before, Fatgum. The news told you he worked mostly in the Kansai region and, once in a blue moon, you would catch sight of the hulk of his torso waddling past the front of your shop.
Unbeknownst to you, the meeting between the two of you had been in the making for weeks prior to his initial visit. Although the smell of freshly baked food had originally alerted Fatgum to the existence of your business, he had never paid the store much mind.
Savory foods were more his style.
Then one day he happened to lean down to steal a passing glance through your front window and he didn’t of you, mid-laugh, chatting with a customer.
Since then, every patrol he walked in Osaka had him passing by your bakery. For no good reason, he lied to himself, even though he’d make a point to sneak a glance inside hoping you’d be behind the counter.
Despite the strange little crush he developed, he hadn’t worked up enough nerve to go inside and, you know, meet you.
Until he caught sight of the handwritten doughnut sign.
Surely he, the BMI hero Fatgum, couldn’t pass up a good doughnut. Especially since they were only available for a limited time!
He walked in. You looked up from your display case.
And then you smiled at him.
What a smile.
A bolt right through his heart.
Every once in a while, you smiling up at him would pop into his head. It was like a song he couldn’t quite shake — not that he wanted it to leave. He’d be working on paperwork or walking along and BOOM, there you were. Head craning up toward him. Bright eyes. Big smile.
It was officially your sixth real date, though it was the first get-together between you that didn’t involve some kind of meal or food. Fatgum had taken you to an aquarium to ‘look at the fishes’ before ending the night strolling around the city, lowkey guiding you along his usual patrol route so he could swing by a couple of food stands along the way.
A man like him had to eat!
He had been the perfect bashful gentleman all night. The best part? He seemed to actively enjoy the aquarium — like a child he was pressing his face up against the glass to look at the various creatures. It wasn’t entirely a surprise when he seemed enthralled by a manatee that had slowly glided by.
You were on Cloud Nine whenever you were around the man.
You didn’t want the night to end.
“It’s getting late,” you murmured, looking up the light-polluted night sky, trying to judge the time without looking at your phone.
“Want me to walk ya home?” Fatgum offered before flinching. “‘Course, I’m gonna walk ya home. I didn’t know if ya wanted to do anything else, ya know? Beforehand.”
“Home sounds good,” you said with a nod that the hero echoed. But then, he watched as a… different kind of look took over your face.
“I made a peach crostata yesterday,” you added airily, reaching up for his arm. “You should come in and try some... If you want to.”
Clumsily he shifted his carton of food from one hand to the other so you could better cling to him. He had four more pieces of his meal left but for once—
He wasn’t that hungry.
He had no idea what the hell a ‘crostata’ was but yes, he wanted it.
- - -
It was the first time he had been inside your place. With some difficulty, he squeezed through your front door, waving off your excessive apologies over the fact your apartment hadn’t been built for someone of his size in mind.
“Ah, knock it off,” he said, thumbing his nose. “S’no big deal! I’m used ‘ta it! Swear!”
He wished he could have examined your living room better, to get a better sense of you. But he couldn’t focus — his mind was racing and rattling as he shuffled behind you to what he assumed was the kitchen.
His tongue felt heavy.
“You feeling okay, Fats?” you asked, brows furrowing slightly when you caught sight of the uneaten food in his hand. He released a dry, sharp laugh.
“Yeah!” he said, leaving the container on the counter. “Ate a little too much today, that’s all.”
That didn’t make you feel any better. Granted, you were still in the ‘getting to know you’ phase with Fatgum but, come on, the man was built to eat. You sincerely doubted he ever lost his appetite.
Unless…
“Nervous?” you asked innocently and the hero jolted, face frozen in surprise at having being called out. But you pretended not to see.
“I know I’m intimidating…” you said and, for good measure, you flexed an arm. “But please, don’t be afraid. I promise not to hurt you.”
Fatgum laughed at that and you quickly joined in with him, slurred by the giddiness flowing through your veins. Something heavy had settled over the room -- the laughter was needed. Appreciated. It took the edge off.
Anticipation.
You settled down first, watching his slightly heaving frame taper off into calm. He met your gaze, his residual smile softening at catching you starting.
Silence.
“You want a drink?” you asked. “Anything you want, chances are I got it. Beer? Liquor? Wine?”
“Nah, can’t,” he answered. “I’m workin’ tomorrow. Don’t like drinking the night before.
Awkwardly, you nodded, rocking slightly on your heels while you attempted to think of something else to say as the silence was back and it was making your skin itch.
He wiggled his fingers as his hands hung by his sides, studying the pictures and magnets and stained recipes hanging on your refrigerator.
Say something, dammit!
“So… what’s a crostata?”
“Crostata?” You blinked up at him in confusion before it hit you. “Crostata! Oh right! The crostata. It’s like… a, uh, pie.”
Bemused, he watched you scramble to a package on your counter, somewhat relieved that you were in the same nervous boat as him. You returned, tilting it forward so he could see the contents through the clear plastic window at the top of the box.
Yep. Looked like a pie.
“Do you… want a slice? I, uh… I made it myself…”
“Then I know it’s gonna be great!” he said abruptly, loudly, and for some reason, you burned scarlet at his praise.
You should bake more for him.
“But, ah…” He coughed. “Maybe in a little bit.”
“I don’t want to eat this,” you found yourself blurting out, shoulders drooping, face getting progressively redder. “I just wanted you to come over.”
Fatgum momentarily looked surprised at your admission and you waited, body hot with fear, for him to say something.
Obviously, he liked you!
“I’m glad you invited me over,” he finally said and the relief was immediate. He scratched at the matching red of his cheeks, unaware of how on edge you had been over a possible rejection. “I’ve wanted to come to yer place for a while now.”
Now that was what you wanted to hear.
You didn’t have much of a reply—
Well, you did, but you weren’t brave enough yet to speak some of the crass things going through your mind. Instead, you placed the crostata back in its spot on your counter and eyed the too-tall hero.
During your first kiss with Fatgum, you had been sitting on a wall. Subsequent kisses always occurred when there had been some sort of ledge, hill or wall — the man was a titan standing in an 8-feet tall. He was a giant, kissing him required a bit of imagination.
How to get up there...
A chair?
Confused, the hero watched as you pulled out a wooden kitchen chair, standing on it.
Not high enough.
Standing on your table produced much better results, though.
“What’cha doin’?” he asked, grinning and quirking his brow, having already gathered what you were going for. Instead of answering, you held out your arms toward your hero.
You didn’t need to ask twice.
Thick arms curled around your backside when your faces met — yours were around his neck.
“I’m gonna have to get a ladder,” you muttered against his lips when you both halfheartedly broke apart. His body vibrated from a smothered chuckle.
“Coulda just asked, ya know.” He pulled his head back, winking despite a flushed face. “I coulda lifted ya.”
Or you could have climbed him like a tree.
“Where’s the fun in that?” you retorted.
He was kissing you again, his slow breath traveling through his nose and across your face. It was very controlled — soft closed lips pressing against yours while one of his arms unhooked from around you to scuttle fingers up and down your back. The fleeting touches coaxed a shiver from you that he felt against his body.
A groan was in his throat.
Before he could pull away, again, for god knows what reason, you caught his lip between your teeth and lightly tugged him back to you.
Teeth?
He tried to stay chaste but you weren’t having it. Teeth sunk down on his lip again and, when he opened his mouth the slightest bit, your tongue nudged its way in.
The breath fanning your face wasn’t so slow anymore.
Fatgum was a big man. It wasn’t just height and size he had on you —his tongue also dwarfed yours considerably. With that knowledge, he was more inclined to let you take as much as you wanted from him. It was a matter of comfort and, you know, tact.
And you were the one leading — you tongue roamed his mouth, dancing with the beast of his that stayed mostly still.
You slid it across his teeth, testing the plushness of his inner cheeks.
He was pulling you tighter against him.
And then your hands were cupping his round face and, spurred by the heat deep in his belly, the hand that was basically petting your back weaseled under your shirt. He had hoped that maybe touching you directly would help—
Of course, it didn’t.
When his palm touched bare flesh, the heat within him grew to an inferno and then, then, when his palm traveled up higher and touched the fringed lace of your bra…
A twitch in his pants.
“He-hey,” Fatgum turned his head, breaking contact with your mouth.
But you didn’t stop. You nuzzled against his cheek, fingers curling and stroking his soft skin as you chased after his lips.
“We don’t gotta do this, ya know.”
You froze.
The declaration was concerning and he panicked under your sudden furrowed brows and worried gaze.
“Do you want to stop?” you asked.
“What? No! Well… no.” He rubbed the back of his head. “I don’t wanna. But…” He sighed. “Uh…”
“Oh god, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing's wrong! Swear! It’s just… I mean, if ya wanna do this, I’m kind of a big guy—“
You broke into a wide smile. His brows knitted momentarily before shooting up.
“I don’t mean like that! Well… “ he trailed off and your eyes shot down to the front of his pants. He growled. “Dammit cupcake, I’m being serious! I don’t wanna crush ya, that’s all. There’s certain… ah, positions that you have to… that’ll be better for ya…”
You were cackling, head thrown back, body heaving from the force of your laughter. He was burning brighter.
“So I have to be on top,” you said, eyes shining. “Got it!”
He groaned but before he could bury his face in his hands at his lack of finesse, he was being pulled back to you by his collar.
“I wouldn’t mind taking a ride on you, Fats,” you said, bestowing a soft peck on his lips before wholeheartedly wrapping your arms around his neck and falling back into another deep kiss.
He still wanted to jump off a building in embarrassment but it was quickly flashing over to horny embarrassment.
Indulging himself, he started to lean back into you — thankfully, his arm wound back around your backside, preventing you from being pushed off your kitchen table by his mass.
Finally, finally, his tongue was coming to life. You felt it shift beneath yours as you traveled across it — a sleeping beast stirring awake. When you paused to take a loud, heated breath, you were caught off guard to find that his mouth was now the one doing the chasing.
The tip of his tongue flicked across your lips.
Naively, you cooed and parted your mouth to let him in—
Your jaw was pulled wide as the muscle pushed its way into you, melting and filling everywhere.
It was messy, his return kiss. Clicking and huffing, he was unintentionally overpowering you in his excitement, massive lips capturing yours in what could only be described as a headlock. It wasn’t him trying to dominate you — he was just so big that he couldn’t help it.
You never experienced a kiss like it.
It was too much and you loved it.
“Aw, sugar…” he groaned. You shuddered — his voice was warm molasses. “Ya really wanna do this?”
“You can’t stop now,” you whined back, breath too tight in your lungs.
Hazy eyes met yours.
He was grinning.
Your shirt was the first item of clothing to be shed, tossed mindlessly on the floor while Fatgum eagerly pressed his face into the curve of your chest.
“Oh, Fats,” you sighed, carding your hands through his hair as he inhaled the sweetness of your body before moving to try and taste it. Kisses, licks, light sucks — his hands were moving from holding and petting to pawing at your still-covered breasts. Thumbs brushed across the lace padding of the cups, teasing hidden nipples before sliding beneath your breasts to better push them together.
“Ya so pretty, ya know that?” he said, looking up to share another, softer kiss.
“You’re not so bad yourself.”
Thick fingers were traveling across your stomach, brushing against the waistband of your jeans. In your socks, your toes curled.
Even though the layers of your clothing, you could feel yourself already dripping.
You could feel Fatgum smiling against your breasts, tongue dipping and wiggling beneath the cup. When it brushed against a nipple, your hands in his hair tightened.
“Wanna know somethin’?” he teased, unbuttoning your jeans but making no moves to pull down the zipper or otherwise remove them.
“What?” you sighed, teeth dragging across your bottom lip when you felt another flick of a tongue against your nipple.
His smile grew. He was softly laughing.
“I am a big guy, sugar.”
You had been smiling because he was smiling but when it struck you what he was implying, you giggled, face flushing.
Your skin was buzzing.
“Don’t worry…” Finally, your pants were being tugged down. Your stomach was doing backflips. “I’ll take good care of ya.”
Before your jeans hit the floor, you were being pulled forward, Fatgum falling back. The entirety of your apartment rattled when he landed on the floor, the appliances around you jittering loudly, but it didn’t bother either of you.
Fatgum was too busy looking up at the beauty sitting on his chest.
You were heavenly.
“Ya don’t mind if I sneak a taste, do ya?” He asked, large hands slipping beneath your thighs to drag your body closer to his head.
Your clit throbbed knowing, knowing, that big ol’ tongue of his was going to be swirling around your insides in about ten seconds. Your hands fell on top of his as he settled you over his face, your knees falling on the tiled floor on either side of the head.
Pleased with how you were set up, he nuzzled the soft skin of your inner thighs, hands grabbing and pulling the flesh taut. Your panties were dark, you were sure he couldn’t see any wet spot but—
You could feel it.
Gradually he moved from kissing and playing with your twitching legs to nosing the fabric of your crotch. When you heard his deep inhale—
“Fats!”
You couldn’t help yourself, knees clamped closed around his head, trapping him against you. He was laughing, whole body (and, by extension, you) jiggling in his amusement.
“I haven’t even touch ya yet!” Came the slightly muffled exasperation.
Goosebumps had risen across your flesh and you were glad he couldn’t really see your face that well.
You didn’t answer, just swallowed and relaxed your legs, the muscles of your thighs and ass continuing to twitch and vibrate in your arousal.
Tongue!
Your lower body went rigid, toes curling and hands fisting as the flat of Fatgum’s tongue lapped against your panties, tasting some of the slickness that had squeezed through the fibers.
He followed it up with another long lick—
And another.
And another.
You weren’t going to complain, he was shifting his head after each completed lap, changing the location of where his tongue was landing. Each time it passed directly along your slit, you were leaning forward and quaking, hungry for more.
The panties were shifting, he had traveled enough to the side of your soaked crotch and found the slight raise of the seam.
Emboldened, he was nudging beneath it—
“Please baby.” You rocked forward to better stare into the lidded eyes of your man, pussy desperately throbbing and clenching around nothing. “Please, baby, give me something.”
Part of him wanted to keep you on the edge forever — you were so needy for him and it was breathtaking.
On the other hand…
He wanted to know if you tasted just as good as you smelled.
“Alright, alright,” he said. “Only cause ya asked so nicely.”
His thumb hooked around the soaked fabric, pulling it aside so you were bare for him. You rolled toward him, your head lolling as your gentle fingers brushed away the hair from his forehead.
You wanted to see this.
One long, delicious lick across your folds and you were putty in his hands. And the same could be said for him too — he would have given you the moon at that moment if you asked for it.
He was so sure of each stroke — the earlier bashfulness had eroded away almost entirely. He was hot and horny and the sight of your slit glistening for him was more than enough to make him downright salivate and fuck if you didn’t taste better than he hoped.
You were satisfying.
A symphony of slurping sounds rang in your ears as you felt his tongue probe deeper. Soft cries caught in your throat as you attempted to ground your clit down on his passing tongue.
That’s what you needed. A little direct stimulation.
You tried to be nice and guide him toward your throbbing clit. It was dying for attention and that ignored pulsating feeling was starting to drive you crazy.
But Fatgum had gotten a taste of your sweet cream and he didn’t want to move away from it just yet. You were the perfect blend of savory and sweet. A perfect meal to him.
“Fats…” you whined but he ignored you, far too caught up in his own little world.
Just a little bit more, then he’d help you out.
Only a bit more...
“Fatgum!” He had just barely grazed your clit and the shock of need that shot across your gut was almost painful. “Please.”
Alright, alright.
“I’m sorry,” he sighed before sneaking one last, quick taste that had you grousing. “Can’t help myself.”
Thumbs were on either side your entrance, pulling you better apart so Fatgum could catch a look at the small, but brusque, part of you that was due for some of his affections.
Without fanfare, he trapped your clit between his lips and sucked.
The universe titled.
“Oh right there,” you squealed, head falling back while hips shot forward. “Oh baby, that’s it. Right there, right there.”
Delighted in you full-bodies reaction, he further went to town, continuing to slurp and smack his lips against your nub. It was downright rude the sounds coming from the hero but you loved every second of it.
He sounded like a man starved and was eating like one too — soon his upper lip was exposed, resting against the top of your pussy, so he could better saw and rub his tongue against your clit.
And with such steady attention, you unraveled, letting out a series of pitched gasps as pleasure exploded behind your eyes and your climax suddenly appeared. He felt you contract and flutter around his tongue, your squeals and moans pornographic enough that his cock felt like it was going to burst through his pants.
Selfishly, he pulled his tongue from your clit to bury it inside you, tasting and lapping at your release.
“Oh man, sugar,” he groaned into your cunt. “How’d I luck out with a gal like you?”
You didn’t hear him, the beat thundering in your ears too loud.
Fatgum pulled another orgasm from you before introducing his fingers into the mix.
You were distracted by the continuous assault on your clit and almost didn’t notice the thick finger that had been brushing against your slit until it had pushed its way in, falling into a slow, steady curling motion.
“Oh, Fats--”
God, he loved how you said his name.
“Keep going, baby, keep going.”
Like he was going to stop?
That finger of his was magic -- just the right amount of girth and hardness. Finally, it was something you could grip onto, internal walls of your sex clenching around the digit as he continued to curl and search for that one spot.
When he eventually stumbled across it, you made sure to let him know.
Your eyes were closed when he slipped in a second digit and soon you were grinding against his face, greedy and loud demands of ‘keep going,’ falling steadily from your lips.
With him working your sweet spot and your clit simultaneously, it didn’t take long for you to cum and, when you did, you were horrified and aroused by the squelching sound that filled the room — your release and practically gushed forward that time.
And Fatgum was still happily eating away, daydreaming about making this a nightly routine.
You jerked and twitched before flopping your upper body forward, petting the hair you had been heatedly yanking on.
“Come on, babe.” Your breath was ragged, voice wavering. “I want to ride you.”
He must have liked what you said, a soft grunt catching in his throat. He placed a few soft kisses on your clit before focusing his eyes up at you.
“If ya don’t wanna, I get it--”
“Crazy man, I just told you what I wanted!” Your glanced over your shoulder, trying to catch a peek of his joggers from over the curvature of his stomach. “Your pants must be tight by now. Let me help you out! Return the favor.”
He did he want you to return the favor.
Fatgum complained when you drug yourself off him, legs trembling and cunt vibrating in the sudden stillness. He didn’t quite want you to go yet. But you were ignoring him, taking a few seconds to catch a breath and bask in the lovely spasming aftershocks your cunt was experiencing.
Propping himself up, he watched you sway to his lower body, your face breaking into a large, hungry smile when you saw the considerable bulge at the front of his pants.
“Now, we gotta take our time…”
He was trying to keep a rational head as you clawed at his pants.
You were going to shove his cock down your throat.
“I don’t wanna end up hurting ya…
God, could he hurt you.
You made a sound of reverence when the fat dick of Fatgum the BMI hero sprung forth from his jogger pants. It was quite a specimen -- thick and uncut with a beautifully leaking bulbous head.
Did you mention it was thick?
“Now, don’t get too eager--”
He finished his warning with a whiny chuckle -- you had gripped his cock in your hands and bestowed on it a series of long, languid, licks.
“I’m not lying--” he tried again.
You moved to sucking.
Unfortunately, one of the downsides of Fatgum’s quirk became apparent — he wouldn’t be able to see your mouth in action over the hump of his belly.
… So much for giving you some of his sage wisdom on how to best handle his member, he thought as his head fall back to the floor.
Who was he kidding, you were doing just fine.
The plans you had for Fatgum were downright dastardly. You were going to choke yourself on his cock and then ride him until you couldn’t see straight anymore.
At least, you wanted to.
You put just as much effort into sucking his cock as he did eating you out. But where you had been vocal and frequent with your praises, he was more muted. The growls and groans coming from him were much softer.
But, in a not-too-strange way, whenever you caught wind of one you felt pride.
Look at how good you’re making him feel.
With a hidden tongue swirling against the dickhead caught between puckered lips, you were pumping his shaft steadily, poised to milk him for everything he had bottled up when suddenly he shifted away from you.
“Hey--!”
You were scuttling after the large sucker you had been rolling around your mouth, eager to reach the cream-coated center.
“Ya can’t go on like that, cupcake,” the hero wheezed, heavily flushed. “Otherwise I’ll finish way too soon.”
“I wouldn’t mind you finishing in my mouth,” you declared with an almost pout.
“Well. I kinda wanted to… You know…”
He rubbed the back of his head, sheepishly looking at your wall, unable to meet your eyes.
He wanted to be inside you.
You calmed, pushing yourself to your feet as he eyed you warily, afraid you were going to pounce. Instead, you leaned against his stomach, rubbing it and playing with the zipper of his hoodie.
He was relaxed enough that you were slightly sinking down into him.
His hand rested on the back of your thigh, squeezing.
“So… You wanna stuff me?”
He groaned in faux-mortification at your crudeness but the slight bounce of his belly revealed his true amusement.
“Well, kinda,” he answered.
You disappeared for a half second and, when you returned, a condom and small vial of lube were in hand. He had pulled off his sweater, the white undershirt he usually wore beneath was bunched up around his waist in anticipation of your return.
“I’ll have to invest in more of this,” you said, a glint in your eye as you shook the lube in his direction. “Buy it by the barrel!”
The tips of his ears burned red.
He couldn’t bring himself to tell you that wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Once he was properly sheathed and prepped, he stole one last kiss from you before you climbed up and straddled his groin, rubbing yourself along his length.
“Yer an angel, ya know that?” he purred, hands petting your calves. “I’m glad to have meet ya. I mean it.”
The grinding stopped.
He had said something sweet. Tender. Nice.
Your hands rested on top of his, earnest and soft.
“Hey. You’re something special too, Fats,” you said emphatically.
He blushed.
Fatgum helped guide you to take him, nudging you to lean into his gut while he positioned his length at your entrance.
You were so warm and wet.
God, he’d have to be careful.
A satisfied grunt tumbled from him as he continued to tease your slit, savoring the way your nether lips parted and surrounded the head of his cock
But he didn’t press in.
Soft complaints were rising from you but all he did was shush you, wanting to experience the sensation just a bit more.
“Don’t tease a girl like this, it’s mean,” you sighed, resting the side of your head on him, gazing up at him.
Wordlessly, he stopped the teasing.
With one hand holding his dick steady, the other grasped your hip and slowly eased you down onto him. It wasn’t so bad, you thought, as you felt the first few centimeters of cock push into your entrance.
That optimism quickly died once The Stretch began.
“Oh… wow,” you moaned, eyes growing wider as your pussy worked desperately to accept the monster trying to enter you.
Fatgum’s bottom lip was trapped between his teeth, sweat beading across his head as he ignored the soft voice in his mind telling him to just slam upward.
He wanted to fuck ya, not kill ya.
“Doing good,” he croaked while you grit your teeth. “Ya don’t gotta take all of me—“
“Like hell I don’t!” you snapped back.
Come hell or high water, were going to impale yourself on this man.
Eventually, he weaseled enough of his length inside that he could move to gentle thrusting. Of course, you were tight and perfect and he was horrified at how aroused he was at the sight of your straining face.
It was a delicate game, thrusting with enough gusto and patience to turn your tides to pleasure while also keeping him from accidentally shooting off too soon.
A very delicate game.
You were touching yourself, rubbing slow, deep circles around your clit, goading your body to react positively to his big, fat intrusion. Your head wanted it. Your libido wanted. Your fucking soul wanted it.
Your body, however, was the only one asking for a time out.
“Fuck yer tight.”
You throbbed at hearing the state of his voice, at seeing how tightly he was wound as he continued to raise and lower you on his cock.
The chimes of pleasure in your mind had started up again.
“Fuck yer big!” you laughed, mimicking his accent. His drawn face tilted toward you, the creases in his forehead noticeable thanks to the harsh downward angle of his eyebrows. “Big hero Fatgum gonna fill me with fat cums?”
Oh god.
His hips jerked up.
“Sorry!” he sputtered immediately, panicked that he may have just hurt or killed you.
The sudden additional girth made lights explode behind your eyes but didn’t kill you. Instead, you gasped and groaned, mouth hanging open as you stared at the wall. You were on a swaying tightrope that hung between the feeling of... well, good and bad, and were dangerously close to falling.
The issue was, of course, what side you would fall on if you slipped.
“Darlin’, ya okay?” Fatgum asked, genuinely worried, his movements stopping. He was certain he had ruined the night. “Aw, shit, listen I didn’t mean--”
“Come on, Fats, baby,” you crooned. Your eyes were glazed, hair a mess, the smile on your face stupidly large. “I’m a sturdy girl. You can let me have it.”
Who would have guessed the sweet little baker he had been unabashedly falling for was a bit of a freak in bed? 
Not that he was complaining — he loved the way you were moaning and singing for him, dictating for more of him, that he go faster, that he go harder.
He could barely keep up, pants and grunts cascading out of him as he tried to match your bouncing.
And then he was inside. Fully. Completely. You had taken him. Entirely. The first time!
Shit, he owed ya the world after a lay like this.
He might have to buy ya a house as a thank ya.
Fuck, he couldn’t afford a house.
Fuck, what could he give ya?
Pizza?
Shoes?
Did ya like shoes!?
“Fat, I’m close.”
It was amazing how, even though you were making arguably an ugly face, the hero could not get over how perfect you were.
Fuck, he wanted to write ya a sonnet or something.
“I am too,” he managed to grunt out, fingers digging into the flesh of your hips.
Truthfully, he had been close from the get go. Knowing he could finally cum was enough to get the boil in his belly going and while you bobbed up and down and worked your clit with crazed vigor, he focused on keeping things steady.
Then your breathing started to get erratic.
“Fat, I’m--” You swallowed loudly. “I’m-- Ah! Ah!”
You didn’t get to finish. You cried out and threw your head back, smacking and holding your pelvis against his as your body quaked and convulsed. You were certain that, in your stretched state, Fatgum wouldn’t be able to tell you had cummed. Which, of course, was far from the truth.
Though you didn’t really feel your internal clenching, he could.
He was cursing under his breath, barely holding on as your cunt squeezed his too-sensitive dick perfectly, begging him to release.
And then, when you stilled and were in the midst of experiencing post-orgasm nirvana, Fatgum fell into the frenzy leading up to his.
The pressure in his gut was getting too much. Either something was gonna pop or he was going to straight up explode.
And then, like a siren’s song, your voice was caressing his eardrums.
“That’s it, baby,” you murmured, stroking his belly beneath his shirt with soft hands despite the beating your lower body was receiving. “Finish in me.”
The something popped.
“Aw shit, aw fuck, aw shit,” he babbled, jittering, as he buried himself into you and unloaded into the condom.
Great, gasping breaths tore through his chest and the convulsing continued, slowly mellowing after each sizable twitch of his member.
When everything was said and done, he released your hips from the vice grip he had put them in, arms collapsing to his side, his whole body feeling like it was falling through your kitchen floor.
Kitchen floor.
He had fucked you on your kitchen floor.
Goddammit, Fatgum. Ya could have shown some restraint!
While he rubbed his face with a shaky hand, mind working on how to fix what had just happened, you were lifting yourself off his softening dick, rubbing at the already-sore spots on your legs.
Work was not going to be fun for you tomorrow.
“You gave me quite pounding there, didn’t you?”
He groaned again but didn’t seem as entertained by the situation as you were.
“Gonna have to call you poundcake after a showing like that.”
“Listen…” he was sitting up, hair mussed and shirt still pushed up his belly. He looked like Winnie the Pooh. “I’m sorry. That was rotten of me. I should have at least moved ya to the bedroom—”
“Taishiro!” You were glaring at him and he shrunk under your gaze.
But then your look softened and you were back in front of him, gesturing for him to lean closer to you.
When he did, you drew him into another kiss.
“That was perfect,” you hummed into his mouth. He fussed and hawed but when you pushed his hair back off his face, he calmed a bit more. “Besides… I can’t think of a better place to ride the hero Fatgum than in a baker’s kitchen.”
“Yer a crass thing, aren’t ya,” he grunted, playfully pushing your head away from him as he went to stand.
“Only in the bedroom… or kitchen,”
You separated to clean yourselves off and, when you regrouped in the hallway, you both had returned to decency.
“I’m starved,” he cried to you, the rumbling of his stomach especially audible in the confined space. He waddled behind you, corralling you toward the scene of your earlier crime, the kitchen. “Let’s reheat that takoyaki. Oh! And lemme get a slice of that fancy pie ya made!”
“How much time you’ve got?” you asked, bumping into him, your own stomach complaining in hunger. “I think I can whip up a quick tray of brownies.”
He laughed.
“Sugar, for ya I’ve got all the time in the world.”

Harry Potter Book1 chapter 1
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.
Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn’t think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn’t have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn’t want Dudley mixing with a child like that.
When Mr. and Mrs. Dursley woke up on the dull, gray Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country. Mr. Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work, and Mrs. Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair.
None of them noticed a large, tawny owl flutter past the window.
At half past eight, Mr. Dursley picked up his briefcase, pecked Mrs. Dursley on the cheek, and tried to kiss Dudley good-bye but missed, because Dudley was now having a tantrum and throwing his cereal at the walls.
“Little tyke,” chortled Mr. Dursley as he left the house. He got into his car and backed out of number four’s drive.
It was on the corner of the street that he noticed the first sign of something peculiar — a cat reading a map. For a second, Mr. Dursley didn’t realize what he had seen — then he jerked his head around to look again. There was a tabby cat standing on the corner of Privet Drive, but there wasn’t a map in sight. What could he have been thinking of? It must have been a trick of the light. Mr. Dursley blinked and stared at the cat. It stared back. As Mr. Dursley drove around the corner and up the road, he watched the cat in his mirror. It was now reading the sign that said Privet Drive — no, looking at the sign; cats couldn’t read maps or signs. Mr. Dursley gave himself a little shake and put the cat out of his mind. As he drove toward town he thought of nothing except a large order of drills he was hoping to get that day.
But on the edge of town, drills were driven out of his mind by something else. As he sat in the usual morning traffic jam, he couldn’t help noticing that there seemed to be a lot of strangely dressed people about. People in cloaks. Mr. Dursley couldn’t bear people who dressed in funny clothes — the getups you saw on young people! He supposed this was some stupid new fashion. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and his eyes fell on a huddle of these weirdos standing quite close by. They were whispering excitedly together. Mr. Dursley was enraged to see that a couple of them weren’t young at all; why, that man had to be older than he was, and wearing an emerald-green cloak! The nerve of him! But then it struck Mr. Dursley that this was probably some silly stunt — these people were obviously collecting for something. . . yes, that would be it. The traffic moved on and a few minutes later, Mr. Dursley arrived in the Grunnings parking lot, his mind back on drills.
Mr. Dursley always sat with his back to the window in his office on the ninth floor. If he hadn’t, he might have found it harder to concentrate on drills that morning. He didn’t see the owls swooping past in broad daylight, though people down in the street did; they pointed and gazed open-mouthed as owl after owl sped overhead. Most of them had never seen an owl even at nighttime. Mr. Dursley, however, had a perfectly normal, owl-free morning. He yelled at five different people. He made several important telephone calls and shouted a bit more. He was in a very good mood until lunchtime, when he thought he’d stretch his legs and walk across the road to buy himself a bun from the bakery.
He’d forgotten all about the people in cloaks until he passed a group of them next to the baker’s. He eyed them angrily as he passed. He didn’t know why, but they made him uneasy. This bunch were whispering excitedly, too, and he couldn’t see a single collecting tin. It was on his way back past them, clutching a large doughnut in a bag, that he caught a few words of what they were saying.
“The Potters, that’s right, that’s what I heard–”
“– yes, their son, Harry–”
Mr. Dursley stopped dead. Fear flooded him. He looked back at the whisperers as if he wanted to say something to them, but thought better of it.
He dashed back across the road, hurried up to his office, snapped at his secretary not to disturb him, seized his telephone, and had almost finished dialing his home number when he changed his mind. He put the receiver back down and stroked his mustache, thinking. . . no, he was being stupid. Potter wasn’t such an unusual name. He was sure there were lots of people called Potter who had a son called Harry. Come to think of it, he wasn’t even sure his nephew was called Harry. He’d never even seen the boy. It might have been Harvey. Or Harold. There was no point in worrying Mrs. Dursley; she always got so upset at any mention of her sister. He didn’t blame her — if he’d had a sister like that. . . but all the same, those people in cloaks. . .
He found it a lot harder to concentrate on drills that afternoon and when he left the building at five o’clock, he was still so worried that he walked straight into someone just outside the door.
“Sorry,” he grunted, as the tiny old man stumbled and almost fell. It was a few seconds before Mr. Dursley realized that the man was wearing a violet cloak. He didn’t seem at all upset at being almost knocked to the ground. On the contrary, his face split into a wide smile and he said in a squeaky voice that made passersby stare, “Don’t be sorry, my dear sir, for nothing could upset me today! Rejoice, for You-Know-Who has gone at last! Even Muggles like yourself should be celebrating, this happy, happy day!”
And the old man hugged Mr. Dursley around the middle and walked off.
Mr. Dursley stood rooted to the spot. He had been hugged by a complete stranger. He also thought he had been called a Muggle, whatever that was. He was rattled. He hurried to his car and set off for home, hoping he was imagining things, which he had never hoped before, because he didn’t approve of imagination.
As he pulled into the driveway of number four, the first thing he saw — and it didn’t improve his mood — was the tabby cat he’d spotted that morning. It was now sitting on his garden wall. He was sure it was the same one; it had the same markings around its eyes.
“Shoo!” said Mr. Dursley loudly.
The cat didn’t move. It just gave him a stern look. Was this normal cat behavior? Mr. Dursley wondered. Trying to pull himself together, he let himself into the house. He was still determined not to mention anything to his wife.
Mrs. Dursley had had a nice, normal day. She told him over dinner all about Mrs. Next Door’s problems with her daughter and how Dudley had learned a new word (“Won’t!”). Mr. Dursley tried to act normally. When Dudley had been put to bed, he went into the living room in time to catch the last report on the evening news:
“And finally, bird-watchers everywhere have reported that the nation’s owls have been behaving very unusually today. Although owls normally hunt at night and are hardly ever seen in daylight, there have been hundreds of sightings of these birds flying in every direction since sunrise. Experts are unable to explain why the owls have suddenly changed their sleeping pattern. ” The newscaster allowed himself a grin. “Most mysterious. And now, over to Jim McGuffin with the weather. Going to be any more showers of owls tonight, Jim?”
“Well, Ted,” said the weatherman, “I don’t know about that, but it’s not only the owls that have been acting oddly today. Viewers as far apart as Kent, Yorkshire, and Dundee have been phoning in to tell me that instead of the rain I promised yesterday, they’ve had a downpour of shooting stars! Perhaps people have been celebrating Bonfire Night early — it’s not until next week, folks! But I can promise a wet night tonight. ”
Mr. Dursley sat frozen in his armchair. Shooting stars all over Britain? Owls flying by daylight? Mysterious people in cloaks all over the place? And a whisper, a whisper about the Potters. . .
Mrs. Dursley came into the living room carrying two cups of tea. It was no good. He’d have to say something to her. He cleared his throat nervously. “Er — Petunia, dear — you haven’t heard from your sister lately, have you?”
As he had expected, Mrs. Dursley looked shocked and angry. After all, they normally pretended she didn’t have a sister.
“No,” she said sharply. “Why?”
“Funny stuff on the news,” Mr. Dursley mumbled. “Owls. . . shooting stars. . . and there were a lot of funny-looking people in town today. . . ”
“So?” snapped Mrs. Dursley.
“Well, I just thought. . . maybe. . . it was something to do with. . . you know. . . her crowd. ”
Mrs. Dursley sipped her tea through pursed lips. Mr. Dursley wondered whether he dared tell her he’d heard the name “Potter. ” He decided he didn’t dare. Instead he said, as casually as he could, “Their son — he’d be about Dudley’s age now, wouldn’t he?”
“I suppose so,” said Mrs. Dursley stiffly.
“What’s his name again? Howard, isn’t it?”
“Harry. Nasty, common name, if you ask me. ”
“Oh, yes,” said Mr. Dursley, his heart sinking horribly. “Yes, I quite agree. ”
He didn’t say another word on the subject as they went upstairs to bed. While Mrs. Dursley was in the bathroom, Mr. Dursley crept to the bedroom window and peered down into the front garden. The cat was still there. It was staring down Privet Drive as though it were waiting for something.
Was he imagining things? Could all this have anything to do with the Potters? If it did. . . if it got out that they were related to a pair of — well, he didn’t think he could bear it.
The Dursleys got into bed. Mrs. Dursley fell asleep quickly but Mr. Dursley lay awake, turning it all over in his mind. His last, comforting thought before he fell asleep was that even if the Potters were involved, there was no reason for them to come near him and Mrs. Dursley. The Potters knew very well what he and Petunia thought about them and their kind. . . He couldn’t see how he and Petunia could get mixed up in anything that might be going on — he yawned and turned over — it couldn’t affect them. . .
How very wrong he was.
Mr. Dursley might have been drifting into an uneasy sleep, but the cat on the wall outside was showing no sign of sleepiness. It was sitting as still as a statue, its eyes fixed unblinkingly on the far corner of Privet Drive. It didn’t so much as quiver when a car door slammed on the next street, nor when two owls swooped overhead. In fact, it was nearly midnight before the cat moved at all.
A man appeared on the corner the cat had been watching, appeared so suddenly and silently you’d have thought he’d just popped out of the ground. The cat’s tail twitched and its eyes narrowed.
Nothing like this man had ever been seen on Privet Drive. He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high-heeled, buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright, and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. This man’s name was Albus Dumbledore.
Albus Dumbledore didn’t seem to realize that he had just arrived in a street where everything from his name to his boots was unwelcome. He was busy rummaging in his cloak, looking for something. But he did seem to realize he was being watched, because he looked up suddenly at the cat, which was still staring at him from the other end of the street. For some reason, the sight of the cat seemed to amuse him. He chuckled and muttered, “I should have known. ”
He found what he was looking for in his inside pocket. It seemed to be a silver cigarette lighter. He flicked it open, held it up in the air, and clicked it. The nearest street lamp went out with a little pop. He clicked it again — the next lamp flickered into darkness. Twelve times he clicked the Put-Outer, until the only lights left on the whole street were two tiny pinpricks in the distance, which were the eyes of the cat watching him. If anyone looked out of their window now, even beady-eyed Mrs. Dursley, they wouldn’t be able to see anything that was happening down on the pavement. Dumbledore slipped the Put-Outer back inside his cloak and set off down the street toward number four, where he sat down on the wall next to the cat. He didn’t look at it, but after a moment he spoke to it.
“Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall. ”
He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone. Instead he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had had around its eyes. She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her black hair was drawn into a tight bun. She looked distinctly ruffled.
“How did you know it was me?” she asked.
“My dear Professor, I’ve never seen a cat sit so stiffly. ”
“You’d be stiff if you’d been sitting on a brick wall all day,” said Professor McGonagall.
“All day? When you could have been celebrating? I must have passed a dozen feasts and parties on my way here. ”
Professor McGonagall sniffed angrily.
“Oh yes, I’ve celebrating, all right,” she said impatiently. “You’d think they’d be a bit more careful, but no — even the Muggles have noticed something’s going on. It was on their news. ” She jerked her head back at the Dursleys’ dark living-room window. “I heard it. Flocks of owls. . . shooting stars. . . Well, they’re not completely stupid. They were bound to notice something. Shooting stars down in Kent — I’ll bet that was Dedalus Diggle. He never had much sense. ”
“You can’t blame them,” said Dumbledore gently. “We’ve had precious little to celebrate for eleven years. ”
“I know that,” said Professor McGonagall irritably. “But that’s no reason to lose our heads. People are being downright careless, out on the streets in broad daylight, not even dressed in Muggle clothes, swapping rumors. ”
She threw a sharp, sideways glance at Dumbledore here, as though hoping he was going to tell her something, but he didn’t, so she went on. “A fine thing it would be if, on the very day You-Know-Who seems to have disappeared at last, the Muggles found out about us all. I suppose he really has gone, Dumbledore?”
“It certainly seems so,” said Dumbledore. “We have much to be thankful for. Would you care for a lemon drop?”
“A what?”
“A lemon drop. They’re a kind of Muggle sweet I’m rather fond of. ”
“No, thank you,” said Professor McGonagall coldly, as though she didn’t think this was the moment for lemon drops. “As I say, even if You-Know-Who has gone–”
“My dear Professor, surely a sensible person like yourself can call him by his name? All this ‘You-Know-Who’ nonsense — for eleven years I have been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name: Voldemort. ” Professor McGonagall flinched, but Dumbledore, who was unsticking two lemon drops, seemed not to notice. “It all gets so confusing if we keep saying ‘You-Know-Who. ‘ I have never seen any reason to be frightened of saying Voldemort’s name. ”
“I know you haven’t, said Professor McGonagall, sounding half exasperated, half admiring. “But you’re different. Everyone knows you’re the only one You-Know- oh, all right, Voldemort, was frightened of. ”
“You flatter me,” said Dumbledore calmly. “Voldemort had powers I will never have. ”
“Only because you’re too — well — noble to use them. ”
“It’s lucky it’s dark. I haven’t blushed so much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs. ”
Professor McGonagall shot a sharp look at Dumbledore and said “The owls are nothing next to the rumors that are flying around. You know what they’re saying? About why he’s disappeared? About what finally stopped him?”
It seemed that Professor McGonagall had reached the point she was most anxious to discuss, the real reason she had been waiting on a cold, hard wall all day, for neither as a cat nor as a woman had she fixed Dumbledore with such a piercing stare as she did now. It was plain that whatever “everyone” was saying, she was not going to believe it until Dumbledore told her it was true. Dumbledore, however, was choosing another lemon drop and did not answer.
“What they’re saying,” she pressed on, “is that last night Voldemort turned up in Godric’s Hollow. He went to find the Potters. The rumor is that Lily and James Potter are — are — that they’re — dead. ”
Dumbledore bowed his head. Professor McGonagall gasped.
“Lily and James. . . I can’t believe it. . . I didn’t want to believe it. . . Oh, Albus. . . ”
Dumbledore reached out and patted her on the shoulder. “I know. . . I know. . . ” he said heavily.
Professor McGonagall’s voice trembled as she went on. “That’s not all. They’re saying he tried to kill the Potter’s son, Harry. But he couldn’t. He couldn’t kill that little boy. No one knows why, or how, but they’re saying that when he couldn’t kill Harry Potter, Voldemort’s power somehow broke — and that’s why he’s gone. ”
Dumbledore nodded glumly.
“It’s — it’s true ?” faltered Professor McGonagall. “After all he’s done. . . all the people he’s killed. . . he couldn’t kill a little boy? It’s just astounding. . . of all the things to stop him. . . but how in the name of heaven did Harry survive?”
“We can only guess,” said Dumbledore. “We may never know. ”
Professor McGonagall pulled out a lace handkerchief and dabbed at her eyes beneath her spectacles. Dumbledore gave a great sniff as he took a golden watch from his pocket and examined it. It was a very odd watch. It had twelve hands but no numbers; instead, little planets were moving around the edge. It must have made sense to Dumbledore, though, because he put it back in his pocket and said, “Hagrid’s late. I suppose it was he who told you I’d be here, by the way?”
“Yes,” said Professor McGonagall. “And I don’t suppose you’re going to tell me why you’re here, of all places?”
“I’ve come to bring Harry to his aunt and uncle. They’re the only family he has left now. ”
“You don’t mean – you can’t mean the people who live here ?” cried Professor McGonagall, jumping to her feet and pointing at number four. “Dumbledore — you can’t. I’ve been watching them all day. You couldn’t find two people who are less like us. And they’ve got this son — I saw him kicking his mother all the way up the street, screaming for sweets. Harry Potter come and live here!”
“It’s the best place for him,” said Dumbledore firmly. “His aunt and uncle will be able to explain everything to him when he’s older. I’ve written them a letter. ”
“A letter?” repeated Professor McGonagall faintly, sitting back down on the wall. “Really, Dumbledore, you think you can explain all this in a letter? These people will never understand him! He’ll be famous — a legend — I wouldn’t be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter day in the future — there will be books written about Harry — every child in our world will know his name!”
“Exactly. ” said Dumbledore, looking very seriously over the top of his half-moon glasses. “It would be enough to turn any boy’s head. Famous before he can walk and talk! Famous for something he won’t even remember! Can you see how much better off he’ll be, growing up away from all that until he’s ready to take it?”
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, changed her mind, swallowed, and then said, “Yes — yes, you’re right, of course. But how is the boy getting here, Dumbledore?” She eyed his cloak suddenly as though she thought he might be hiding Harry underneath it.
“Hagrid’s bringing him. ”
“You think it — wise — to trust Hagrid with something as important as this?”
“I would trust Hagrid with my life,” said Dumbledore.
“I’m not saying his heart isn’t in the right place,” said Professor McGonagall grudgingly, “but you can’t pretend he’s not careless. He does tend to — what was that?”
A low rumbling sound had broken the silence around them. It grew steadily louder as they looked up and down the street for some sign of a headlight; it swelled to a roar as they both looked up at the sky — and a huge motorcycle fell out of the air and landed on the road in front of them.
If the motorcycle was huge, it was nothing to the man sitting astride it. He was almost twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild — long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he had hands the size of trash can lids, and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins. In his vast, muscular arms he was holding a bundle of blankets.
“Hagrid,” said Dumbledore, sounding relieved. “At last. And where did you get that motorcycle?”
“Borrowed it, Professor Dumbledore, sir,” said the giant, climbing carefully off the motorcycle as he spoke. “Young Sirius Black lent it to me. I’ve got him, sir. ”
“No problems, were there?”
“No, sir — house was almost destroyed, but I got him out all right before the Muggles started swarmin’ around. He fell asleep as we was flyin’ over Bristol. ”
Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall bent forward over the bundle of blankets. Inside, just visible, was a baby boy, fast asleep. Under a tuft of jet-black hair over his forehead they could see a curiously shaped cut, like a bolt of lightning.
“Is that where — ?” whispered Professor McGonagall.
“Yes,” said Dumbledore. “He’ll have that scar forever. ”
“Couldn’t you do something about it, Dumbledore?”
“Even if I could, I wouldn’t. Scars can come in handy. I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map of the London Underground. Well — give him here, Hagrid — we’d better get this over with. ”
Dumbledore took Harry in his arms and turned toward the Dursleys’ house.
“Could I — could I say good-bye to him, sir?” asked Hagrid. He bent his great, shaggy head over Harry and gave him what must have been a very scratchy, whiskery kiss. Then, suddenly, Hagrid let out a howl like a wounded dog.
“Shhh!” hissed Professor McGonagall, “You’ll wake the Muggles!”
“S-s-sorry,” sobbed Hagrid, taking out a large, spotted handkerchief and burying his face in it. “But I c-c-can’t stand it — Lily an’ James dead — an’ poor little Harry off ter live with Muggles–”
“Yes, yes, it’s all very sad, but get a grip on yourself, Hagrid, or we’ll be found,” Professor McGonagall whispered, patting Hagrid gingerly on the arm as Dumbledore stepped over the low garden wall and walked to the front door. He laid Harry gently on the doorstep, took a letter out of his cloak, tucked it inside Harry’s blankets, and then came back to the other two. For a full minute the three of them stood and looked at the little bundle; Hagrid’s shoulders shook, Professor McGonagall blinked furiously, and the twinkling light that usually shone from Dumbledore’s eyes seemed to have gone out.
“Well,” said Dumbledore finally, “that’s that. We’ve no business staying here. We may as well go and join the celebrations. ”
“Yeah,” said Hagrid in a very muffled voice, “I’ll be takin’ Sirius his bike back. G’night, Professor McGonagall — Professor Dumbledore, sir. ”
Wiping his streaming eyes on his jacket sleeve, Hagrid swung himself onto the motorcycle and kicked the engine into life; with a roar it rose into the air and off into the night.
“I shall see you soon, I expect, Professor McGonagall,” said Dumbledore, nodding to her. Professor McGonagall blew her nose in reply.
Dumbledore turned and walked back down the street. On the corner he stopped and took out the silver Put-Outer. He clicked it once, and twelve balls of light sped back to their street lamps so that Privet Drive glowed suddenly orange and he could make out a tabby cat slinking around the corner at the other end of the street. He could just see the bundle of blankets on the step of number four.
“Good luck, Harry,” he murmured. He turned on his heel and with a swish of his cloak, he was gone.
A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours’ time by Mrs. Dursley’s scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley. . . He couldn’t know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: “To Harry Potter — the boy who lived!”

BUCKY'S P. O. V.
I didn't want to go to the Smithsonian to see the expo of Captain Fuckin' America all over again, but Natasha insisted that they had modified it, and that I sure had to go and see it all over again.
I was walking towards one of the newly added panels when a little kid bumped into my leg. "Fuck!" I turned around just in time to see the kid falling on his butt. "God 'm sorry" I kneeled in front of him to check if he was okay.
I heard rushed steps that preceded the view of a girl kneeling in front of me. "what did I say about running?-I'm sorry" she added, giving me an apologetic smile.
"I'm the one who's sorry" I smiled at her, but she wasn't even looking in my direction.
"Miss Y/n!" the woman turned around to look at a bunch of little kids that were now approaching us "look, It's Bucky Barnes!" the whole group started to squeal excited.
"Oh- I-" Y/n was finally looking at me with wide eyes and lips parted, and for the first time, I was able to see how damn beautiful she was. "Oh" she repeated, letting out nervous chuckle.
Her eyes, along with the children's ones and the few people's in the museum, were too much for me to deal with. "I-I'm sorry again. Have- have a good... time" I muttered, beaming at her before getting up to leave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
READER'S P. O. V.
"Okay, kids, let's go pick things up" I said, smiling at the children while I grabbed the keys. I opened the five lockers where they had left their things, and then, after checking the number on my key, I looked for mine.
At the beginning of the trip, I had asked one of the receptionists to store my things while I helped the kids, in order to save some time. And, of course, they had to choose a locker from the third row.
Right before I left to ask for help, Bucky Barnes entered in the room and, flashling me a smile, he walked to his locker.
Taking a deep breath, I stepped to him and tapped his shoulder. "I'm- I don't want to bother but my things... They're in that locker and" he looked at the locker I was pointing at. "I kinda-" c'mon, say it, I thought, it's not like he hasn't seen you. "God this is so embarrassing" I let out a nervous chuckle "I'm too short to reach it, could you-"
He let out a chuckle. "sure. Gimme your key?" I gave it to him and waited besides him. "here" he called my attention, carefully handing me my bag.
The corners of my mouth twitched when, instead of giving me my jacket, he held it for me to put it on "Thank you so much"
BUCKY'S P. O. V.
"No worries, Y/n" I gnawed my lip nervously before adding something else. "it's Y/n right?" she, biting back a grin, nodded.
"well, thank you anyway... Bucky." she replied, looking up at me enough time to see the blush creeping over my neck and ears. There was a moment of awkward silence between the two of us. "I should get g-"
"Did you like the expo?" I blurted out, feeling incredibly unhappy about her leaving.
She looked at me, with a spark of surprise and confusion in her eyes. "yeah. I actually come with the kids often." I nodded, my mind buzzing, trying to find a way to keep the conversation going. "Did you like it?"
Sadly, I heard her question after I had spoken, and not before. "would you like to grab a coffee?" her lips parted and her eyes widened, I realized I should have thought twice. "God 'm sorry, I don't-"
"Uh... I've to come back to school with the children" before I was able to tell her to forget it, she spoke again. "but this- this afternoon I'm free?" she questioned more than stated, gnawing her lower lip.
"is that a yes?" she nodded, extending her hand to me. "what... Oh fuck sorry" we both laughed while I gave her my phone for her to write down her number.
"Okay so" she gave it back to me and grabbed her bag. "I finish at 4"
"Okay Uh..." I walked out of the building with her and her class "Send me the address of the school and I'll pick you up"
"Sure, see you later, Bucky!" She said excitedly, walking away with the kids.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I double checked the address she had sent me before climbing off my bike.
Bucky: I'm outside:) r u ready?
During the few minutes it took her to answer, a wave of insecurities overwhelmed me, but most of them were ridiculous things I had never been insecure of.
And then it hit me, how damn nervous I was.
Y/n: I have a problem :(
Y/n: come in, I'll explain
I did as she told me to do and, after asking where Y/n was, I got to her class' door, where she was already waiting for me.
"Hey there" I greeted with a smile, managing to suppress the 'beautiful' that almost came out of me. "what happened?"
"i have to prepare a last minute activity for tomorrow" She groaned dramatically, running a hand through her hair. "I'm so sorry, I really wanted to-"
"Hey, 's okay" I gave her a small smile, not even bothering on hiding my disappointment. "tomorrow maybe?"
"yeah... Okay" she parted her lips a couple of times like she wanted to say something, but she ended up giving me a tight-lipped smile and got in the class.
READER'S P. O. V.
Who the fuck cancels a date with Bucky Barnes? Oh, yes. Me. I let out a loud groan followed by a whine, and I almost missed the buzz of my phone.
Bucky: are you gonna be alone?
Y/n: yeah why?
He did read the message, but the fact that I didn't get any kind of reply made me kind of upset.
To my surprise, not even ten minutes later Bucky was entering in the class with two coffees and two doughnuts.
"what's this?" I asked, a smile creeping over my face while he set everything over my desk.
"Didn't feel like waiting" he handed me a one of the coffees, leaning against the desk. "and I thought you could use some company"
"I definitely could" I confessed with a chuckle, walking to his side and hopping onto the table. "thanks Bucky. This was really sweet."
We looked at each other for a moment, the same stupid smile on our faces. "can you tell me if the coffee's good? 'cause I have no fucking clue what I ordered."
I let out a laugh "how's that even possible?"
"names were long and complicated, doll" he defended himself. "it was easier back in the day"
"back in the day" I echoed amused before taking a sip of my drink. "well it's... Sweet"
"just like you, then" I felt my cheeks reddening at that simple statement. "and it's hot too" snorting, I buried my face on Bucky arm, who was softly chuckling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sound of my alarm going off had never been so annoying.
When I tried to move to turn it off, Bucky’s strong arms tightened around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest. "don't"
"Bucky, I have to work" I mumbled, trying not so hard to get rid of his embrace. "c'mon, do you want me to lose my job?"
We had been dating for a few weeks already, but it was the first time that I had stayed the night at Bucky’s house —a. K. a the Avengers tower— so I wanted to leave before anyone could wake up.
"not gonna lose it, darlin'. You're too good at it." he stated, nuzzling his nose against my neck. "You're so warm. Like a blanket"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Bucky, c'mon" I half-heartedly pulled away, earing a whine from him, and jumped out of the bed.
It took me less time than I thought to find the kitchen. Surprisingly, the hardest part was to find the food.
I was focused on the things in the fridge when a voice almost gave me a heart attack. "Jesus Fucking Christ! Who are you?" I turned around to be met with Sam Wilson himself, dressed in a pigeon pj's.
"I'm-"
"That's Barnes tee-shirt" he stated, calmly stepping to the hall. "STEVE GET YOUR ASS HERE, BARNES BROUGHT A GIRL!"
"WHAT WHERE?" My eyes went wide and I froze in place when Steve fucking Rogers entered. "Holy motherfucking shit, 's true"
"Uh..."
"'Course it's true!" Sam yelled offended.
Thank God, in that moment Bucky entered in the kitchen and made his way towards me. "found your breakfast?" I denied, not being able to formule a proper sentence. "shouldda waited for me, baby" he whispered, grabbing a few things from the top shelf. "Sorry 'bout them" he pulled me closer and pecked my nose.
"Buck" Steve called his friend and we both turned to him. "who's her?"
"she's Y/n" he stated, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "my girlfriend." I started to blush like crazy, and Bucky might have felt it, because he pulled me to the side his chest with one of his arms, while with the other prepared my breakfast.
"You're what now?" Sam asked, and I saw him leaning over the counter between us. "Tell us about you, Y/n"
I opened my mouth to try to avoid that somehow, but Bucky was faster. "she gotta go to work, right?" I nodded and he gave me the breakfast. "c'mon, baby. Eat and I'll drive you there."
"Okay." I finally managed to speak, and Bucky leaned on me to peck my lips. "thanks Bucky"
He gave me a smile an guided my out of the kitchen with the breakfast in my hands, leaving behind us Steve's and Sam's bantering about us.
"I'm really sorry. Forgot today was training day" he apologized again in low voice, kissing my temple.
"it's okay, they seem nice" I said entering in his room and leaving the breakfast over the nightstand. "but they're like hyped kids"
"they're indeed" he agreed with a grin on his face. "so" throwing himself to the bed, he lay on his back with his head resting over one of his hands. "now that I'm taking you to school, and we've more time..."
I huffed, but when he pouted at me, I gave in. "just five more minutes." I warned, scooting closer to him and lying on his chest with my arms hugging him.
"Okay, miss" he replied, shifting his position to be able to cuddle me better. "just five more minutes"
"Bucky I mean it" I warned him again when he got way too comfortable.
"No you don't"
"fuck you, James" I said, chuckling heartedly.
"sweet"
I wrapped my arms around his neck and brought him into a kiss, which turned out to be a mess due to both of our smiles.
