-
October 5th, 1995Β 
Atsumu Miya is born. He’s gifted a bright flash of light, the sound of his own cries, and - seven minutes later - a brother.Β 
October 5th, 2003
There was a HAPPY BIRTHDAY banner taped to the cabinets in the kitchen. The R was ripped nearly in half, and the colors were dull.Β 
It was the same one as last year, and the year before that.Β 
Atsumu walked through the threshold with his brother right next to him. Osamu knew how to say thank you in the right way to get the best hug from their mom.Β 
They were presented with one singular cupcake.Β 
β€œWhy can’t we ever get our own?” 
The two boys sat too close at the kitchen table, the strawberry cake sat right in front of them.Β 
β€œYou have to learn how to share, Atsumu.” 
He knew how to share. There was nothing left to learn.
One candle was mashed in the frosting. Mom lit the flame and Atsumu watched wax dripping onto his half as she sang their happy birthday song, and told them to make a wish.Β 
Atsumu and Osamu looked at each other, then blew at the candle at the exact same time.Β 
The cupcake was cut in half, and Atsumu’s stomach hurt before he could finish his. Osamu took it without being asked.Β 
But if they had each gotten their own, Atsumu would've had more to share with his brother.Β 
October 5th, 2010
Atsumu was fifteen and he knew everything. He was always right - never, ever wrong, and if anyone disagreed, they’d have to take it up directly with him.Β 
He knew how to run his mouth. Maybe it was what he was best at. He’d never lost an argument - until his fifteenth birthday.Β 
He’d gotten good at taking his aggression out in healthy ways - mostly in sports. But, sometimes, the words he spit couldn’t be left on the court.Β 
He would say what he wanted, and he didn’t care who heard or hurt.Β 
He didn’t know what he had coming to him.Β 
The entire team had already abandoned the gym, all but Atsumu and the shitty middle blocker who played like he didn’t know his position.Β 
Atsumu was outside stretching when his words hit his ears. β€œYou’re a piece of shit, Miya.” 
β€œOh my god - get in line, dude, you’re about the fifth person today to let me know.” 
β€œThat many people wanna rip your head off? I wish one of them would teach you how to shut the fuck up.” 
β€œAnd I wish someone would teach you how to block the fuckin’ ball.” 
The guy didn’t reply. He took one step in Atsumu’s direction - he remembered hearing the crunch of gravel under the guy's foot. His shoulder moved with the step, and with it, the first real punch Atsumu had ever been thrown.Β 
And it hit. Hard. Ten times harder than any hits from Osamu.Β 
The guy’s fist collided with Atsumu’s cheek and then he walked away. Atsumu didn’t even have a chance to hit back - he was frozen in place, anyway. There was no fight in him. He was too surprised.Β 
A black eye wasn’t on his wishlist for his birthday, but it’s what he got. A lesson learned? Not so much.Β 
October 5th, 2019
He was another year older - so what.Β 
The only part of Atsumu’s birthday that he liked was giving his brother a stupidly expensive gift, because it gave him an excuse to gloat.Β 
Other than that? It was a day like any other.Β 
Birthdays were nowhere near special to him - especially his own. But it just so happened that on that specific birthday, he had his first date with you.Β 
And it didn’t even come up in conversation. Neither did his twin brother, or any of his volleyball stories he’d usually tell to impress a date.Β 
Atsumu found out that he didn’t need to impress you, and he hardly needed to talk about himself.Β 
He left that date feeling like he was friends with you, and maybe that wasn’t how he should feel after a date, but he was beaming. The hours with you at that hole in the wall bar didn’t feel like enough.Β 
He took that feeling and ran with it, and he hoped - he prayed - you’d follow him.Β 
October 5th, 2022
It’d been late nights for as long as Atsumu could remember. He’d come home and you’d already be in bed - if he was lucky, you’d wake up just long enough to tell him you love him.Β 
That night was different from the rest.Β 
That night, he would be coming home to - literally - an empty home.Β 
Finally, you and Atsumu had moved into the house of your dreams that was yours. But, for the time being, you were living out of boxes and waiting for furniture deliveries.Β 
He opened the door to a dark living room and an even darker hallway, and he didn’t bother turning any on lights to get to the kitchen.Β 
There was a shred of light there, coming from an old bulb above the stove. He looked around the empty room and what he found was out of place.Β 
There you were, sat on the floor. A chair was next to you, funnily enough, but it was taken by a round white cake. A handful of candles were stuck into the top.Β 
β€œWhat are you doing?” he asked, the same time you spoke.Β 
β€œThere’s my birthday boy,” and your voice was all sleepy smiles. β€œHappy birthday. Happy anniversary.” 
He sat in front of you, right on the floor, not caring when his knees popped on the way down.Β 
β€œDid you stay up just to tell me that?” 
β€œWhat’s wrong with that?” 
You picked up the cake and presented it to him like you were proud of it, and the size of his grin matched yours.Β 
β€œHow mad would you be if I just tipped this up,” and he tapped the bottom of the plate, β€œright into your face?” 
β€œAtsumu.” Every time you said his name like that, he laughed. β€œI would kill you.”
β€œOn my birthday?” 
He watched you pout as you sat the cake down again. β€œAren’t you going to say thank you?” 
β€œThank you,” he said, like he was insisting. He wrapped his hands around your legs and scooted you closer to him. β€œThank you, baby, this is so nice.” 
You hummed. β€œYou’re welcome.” And you dipped your finger in the frosting on the cake, and Atsumu immediately caught your wrist when you moved it toward his face.Β 
β€œDon’t you dare.” 
You kept pushing, and he didn’t push back fast enough - your finger and the glob of frosting smushed right into his cheek.Β 
And you laughed loud enough to fill the empty rooms of your house, and Atsumu didn’t know how to tell you how in love he was.Β 
He had birthday cake for dinner that night, and it settled into a sugary stomach ache. It was the best October 5th he'd lived through so far.

Could I request fluff #6 with Jack Hughes?
fluff #6. "you've been my best friend for 10 years, why not change it to husband and wife?"
pairing: jack hughes x fem!reader word count: 1.4k
It was always easy to love him. It was easy to love the friendship he initiated all those years ago, and it was even easier to admit your love bore a little deeper when he admitted his feelings were more than friendly about you. A decade long friendship had blossomed into something more, and it was something neither you, nor Jack had any arguments against.
Jack always brought up your β€˜friendiversary’, and you couldn’t help but get a laugh out of the pure joy he always bestowed on you every time he mentioned it. The new kid in school accidentally exploding his yogurt tube all over his desk partner was probably one of the funnier ways to begin a lifelong friendship that would eventually blossom into more.
β€œSo, how are we celebrating a whole decade together this year? Should we go get frozen yogurt? Maybe we can make a re-enactment of what happened in middle school? We could make it a whole thing, make a tiktok about it and everything,” you could feel your eyes rolling involuntarily at his words, shooting Jack a glare from across the room.
β€œWe’re not doing anything that involves yogurt.”
β€œNot even something sexy?” Wigging his eyebrows at you, your hand immediately reached for the pillow beside you to whip at your boyfriend.
β€œGet your mind out of the gutter, Lil’ Jizzy,” groaning at your words, Jack plopped himself on the couch beside you, instantly pulling you into his side.
Shrugging his shoulders at you, you could see him googling friendiversary ideas out of the corner of your eye. β€œBabe, we don’t even have to do anything. We could cuddle up and order food and just watch a movie or something, it doesn’t have to be anything special.”
β€œIt’s our ten-year friendiversary, baby. We can’t just do nothing. I’ll figure something out, don’t worry. You’ll love it.”
It would be hard to admit that a trip to Florida in the middle of the season was what you were expecting from Jack. He had practically thrust the tickets into your hand, informing you that you had less than three hours to pack, all while giving you a list of the specific outfits he wanted you to bring.
You knew almost immediately that Jack had definitely not planned the celebration alone, just by the Airbnb that you pulled up in front of. First, you didn’t even realize he knew what an Airbnb was. Second of all, there was no way Jack Hughes had managed to find a place this gorgeous on his own.
Shooting a message to P.K. was your first priority, knowing full well he was the likely culprit behind the gorgeous booking in front of you.
β€œOkay, so I have a full itinerary. Tonight, we’re just going to chill, relax, get situated, maybe break the house in, you know… the usual stuff,” ending his sentence off with a wink, Jack grabbed your hand and pulled you along behind him.
β€œTomorrow we’re going to head out to the marina that I don’t know the exact name of but will figure out and we’re gonna spend most of the day on the water, and then dinner… obviously. Sunday, you have to plan. I’ll pay… but you have to plan.”
Giggling into his ear as you pressed your body closer to his to press a gentle kiss on the nape of his neck, Jack tilted his head to the side with a small grin plastered across his lips.
β€œSounds like the perfect weekend, baby. I think we should probably get started on your plans for today.” The grin never left his lips as he whipped around to press them to yours, his body moulding against yours easily.
The next day came quicker than you were expecting, Jack picking out your outfit as you picked his. That was something you both just found easier; there was no one else you would ever let pick your outfit, Jack just… knew you. He knew your style, knew what you did and didn’t like, knew what would fly and what wouldn’t. Small things like that with him were easy, everything was easy when it came to him.
β€œWell, don’t you look sexy. Damn, I’m so good at picking your fits. Should I quit hockey, maybe get into fashion? You could be my main model, baby.” Laughing as he wrapped you up in his arms with a smile, his happiness infectious.
Shaking your head against his chest, you peaked up at him from between his arms. β€œI don’t think you should quit your day job, maybe get some pointers before you start making drastic decisions like that. Can’t use you as my future trophy husband if you’re going to up and quit the job that makes you that.”
Pinching your side gently, Jack just smiled as he pulled away and interlocked his fingers with his.
It didn’t take you long to get to the marina in the car he had rented, everyone greeting the both of you politely as they directed you towards the boat Jack had rented for the day. You almost stopped in your tracks when you observed the setup on the boat; a picnic basket set up, non-alcoholic champagne on ice, fairy lights adorning the inside edges of the boat.
β€œDamn, I didn’t read the fine print when I booked. Just said I wanted the closest setup to an anniversary they could get, guess they went all out,” popping his hip into yours gently with a beam.
β€œJack, do you even have your boating license?”
Eyeing the steering wheel with a curious look, you turned towards your boyfriend just in time to see him roll his eyes and glare at you playfully. β€œNo, this place just let a random guy with no boating license rent a boat. Obviously, I have my boating license.”
Rolling your eyes back, you tapped his side as you made your way to the small seat next to the drivers. It only took a few moments to get out from the dock, far enough away that you and Jack could have some privacy without being too far and worrying how you were going to get back.
β€œDo you remember the first day we met? Other than when I accidentally exploded my yogurt tube all over you? You told me that boys were icky, and all they did was ruin everything,” nodding your head with a loud laugh, you let your mind wander to your first few years with Jack.
β€œCrazy how things have changed, huh? I remember going home that night and telling my mom I needed to get those stupid yogurt tubes so I could hit them against the desk and do what you did to me, she said no real quick.”
Smiling softly towards you, you could see the love in his eyes the way he looked at you, the softness that crossed his features every time you were on his mind or in his sight. It had been the same look he had given you since you both were fifteen, Jack never having eyes for anyone except you.
Standing up and holding his hand out, you took it and allowed him to pull you from your seat and towards the picnic basket and bottle of champagne.
β€œIt always makes me laugh; I told my mom back when I first moved from Sauga to Michigan that I wasn’t sure how I was going to live without you. She said you’d always be there, even if you weren’t physically there. Pretty sure that was when I realized you were more than just a friend to me, then I moved and wasn’t sure what’d happen. Never really thought we’d get here, honestly.”
Sighing as he sat down, Jack gestured for you to sit in his lap, both of your legs extended out in front of you as he ruffled through the picnic basket beside him.
β€œI say it a lot, but I’m so glad you sprayed that yogurt all over me. It sucked, but I don’t think we’d be where we are without it,” nodding his head gently as he rested his cheek on the top of your head.
β€œYou know, you’ve been my best friend for ten years, why not just change it to husband and wife?”
Swivelling around to look at him, you almost cried when you saw the little black box in his hand, his eyes glistening at he looked at you. Moving so he was directly on one knee and not sitting, your hands instantly pressed to your mouth.
β€œI’ve had this thing sitting around since my first season. So, I guess what I’m trying to say here is… I’ve been so grateful for your friendship and your unconditional love these last ten years, so how about we make it forever? Will you marry me?”
You couldn’t contain your body flying towards him, the aggressive nod of your head the only answer he needed.
note: so sorry that this is so late, but i hope you enjoy!! thank you so much for requesting. and yes i did steal mitch marner's proposal idea for this thank u very much simply bc i have reason to believe jack would too

Chapters: Previous | Next | Masterlist
The ride home was quiet.
Jisoo had drank a little too much, and it was evident by the way she laid her head upon your shoulder and mumbled slurred gibberish against your skin.
You opted to ignore her drunken antics, and instead just wrapped your arm around her shoulder while training your eyes on the darkness outside the front window.
Only when Jisoo trudged over to her bed after taking off her makeup and changing her clothes did she seem to have sobered up. She sprawled across her mattress, her face pressed into the blankets, before she turned and gazed at you. You were laying on your own bed, fidgeting with the hem of your shirt as you stared up at the ceiling.
Finally, Jisoo spoke a coherent sentence.
"Where did you go?" She asked. "At the party," she added a moment later.
You hesitated for a second.
"Wonwoo called me so I went to the bathroom. And then we fought because he was pissed that I went to a party without telling him." You explained. It wasn't a lie; that was what happened, before Mingyu showed up of course.
Jisoo sat up quickly in her bed, crossing her legs like a child listening intently to a teacher. She placed a hand under her chin and narrowed her eyes at you.
"You fought..." She started but trailed off. "Is that why you went off with Mingyu?" She questioned.
You stopped toying with the fabric of your shirt, completely frozen in place at the accusation.
"What?" You responded, your mouth suddenly dry. You sat up in your own bed now, staring at her with wide eyes.
"Come on, I'm not stupid." Jisoo rolled her eyes. "I saw you and Mingyu going upstairs. And then a minute later some guy comes in screaming about how he found Mingyu and some girl fucking in the bathroom. It wasn't hard to put two and two together."
You were horrified. It felt as if a hard punch had been delivered to your gut and a million wasps stung your skin at once. You could barely catch your breath.
"Wha- Does everyone know?" You cried, not even attempting to cover up that you had sex with Mingyu; Jisoo had already figured it out, and there was no way you could ever convince her otherwise.
Jisoo shook her head. "No, I only knew cause I saw you with him. And I didn't say anything to anyone." She reassured you.
You didn't say anything else. Hell, you couldn't even think of anything to say. You threw yourself back against the bed, covering your face with your hands. Embarrassment ate away at you.
Jisoo watched you in your distressed state, and she almost felt inclined to apologize. She shook away the thought and asked: "What are you gonna do?"
You peeled your hands off your face and sighed. You felt like crying again. You hated it; you were so sick of crying.
"What am I supposed to do?" You responded. "I don't even know what I'm doing anymore."
Jisoo chewed on her bottom lip as she thought for a moment. "Well... do you still wanna be with Wonwoo?"
"Yes," you said quickly. "I still love him. And I miss him a lot. But I just... things have been really bad lately."
Jisoo finally laid back down, mimicking you by staring at the ceiling. "You're gonna have to talk things out with him then. Be honest. Stop seeing Mingyu." She sighed. "That's what I would do."
You knew that Jisoo was right. But the thought of cutting off Mingyu left a sour taste in your mouth. You liked him a lot, as a person, and it felt unfair to just ditch him after the times he was there to comfort you.
But this was all so much more unfair to Wonwoo.
"Are you sure... that you wanna stay with Wonwoo?" Jisoo added in response to your silence.
Were you sure?
You said that you loved him: You loved the Wonwoo that took you to the cafe near campus and bought you your favorite latte; the Wonwoo that spent hours in bed with you binge-watching dumb cartoons; the Wonwoo that stayed up late with you on weekends to help you study for your exams.
He was still that same person. Things were just different now that you were far apart and couldn't be in each other's presence anymore.
Right?
Would the Wonwoo from a year ago have ignored your texts and angrily hung up on you?
How could this all possibly be to blame on some distance?
Jisoo took your silence as an answer and cleared her throat to regain your attention. She shifted onto her side to look at you, and you turned your head to meet her eyes.
"Look, I don't think you're a bad person, okay? I think you just made some mistakes." She said. "I know you care a lot about him, but long distance doesn't work for everyone."
You squeezed your eyes shut, trying to stop them from watering.
"Just think about it, okay? I don't want you or other people getting hurt." Jisoo said. She rolled onto her other side, her back now facing you. "Goodnight. Don't stay up too late."
"Goodnight," you finally responded. Your voice was hoarse and weak.
You swallowed, and then reached for your phone.
You: that guy from the bathroom told everyone about you Sent at 12:48 AM
To your surprise, Mingyu responded quickly.
Mingyu: oh I know Sent at 12:48 AM
Mingyu: don't worry I already put him in his place Sent at 12:48 AM
You giggled quietly to yourself as you typed a response.
You: should I be scared for him? Sent at 12:49 AM
Mingyu: nah he'll live Sent at 12:49 AM
Mingyu: goodnight Y/N Sent at 12:49 AM
Mingyu: sweet dreams :) Sent at 12:50 AM
Just as you finished typing a reply, quiet vibrating sounded from Jisoo's side of the room.
She stirred in her light state of sleep, feeling around her bed and eventually pulling her phone out from under her pillow. "Hello?" She said, hints of tiredness evident in her voice.
You wondered who could possibly be calling her right now. You guessed it was Seungcheol, but once Jisoo shot up in her bed alarmingly fast you began to doubt yourself.
"What?" She cried. "Is he okay?"
You sat up yourself now, watching her with concern as she turned on the light and began rummaging through her closet.
"I'm leaving right now. No, I'll be fine. I'll text you." She said as she pulled a backpack out and began wildly shoving items into it.
"What? Where are you going? What's going on?" You questioned once she hung up.
"My dad's in the hospital. Had a stroke or a heart attack or something, I don't know." Jisoo rambled without looking at you. She ran over to the bathroom with her bag in hand. "I'm going home for a few days." She explained from the other room.
When she walked back into the room, her backpack was slung over her shoulders and her eyes were shiny with tears.
"I hope he's okay. Please be safe." You responded, though it just made you feel useless.
"Thank you," she said, looking at you with saddened eyes before turning towards the door. "I'll see you soon." She called over her shoulder before stepping out of the room and shutting the door behind her.
Then you were left alone, with nothing but the dark room and the thoughts that weighed on your conscience.
You found it difficult to fall asleep that night.
Tumblr media
When you walked into class on Tuesday, Mingyu looked different.
His hair was pushed back in his signature style and he wore his usual plain shirt and jeans, but something about him was changed. His chest seemed to be lifted with a newfound confidence.
He gave you a small smile when you approached him, and you swore you noticed his eyes graze over your figure, but you sat down without saying anything. You adjusted your skirt as you settled into your seat and pulled out your phone.
You anxiously checked your notifications, waiting for Wonwoo's name to appear, but there was still no answer.
You finally had sent him a text this morning saying that you needed to talk to him. You had spent the past few days thinking about what Jisoo said, and it was difficult to admit, but she was right.
Now it was just a waiting game until Wonwoo was ready to talk.
A notification caused your phone to buzz, and you perked up as you thought it might be Wonwoo, but instead it was a text from Mingyu.
You glanced over at him with your brows furrowed, and he just stared ahead, biting his lip to suppress a smirk. You opened the message.
Mingyu: you look good Sent at 10:05 AM
Your skin flushed at the compliment, and you quickly typed a reply.
You: you couldn't have said that to me in person? Sent at 10:06 AM
His own phone vibrated against the desk with your response. He picked it up nonchalantly, huffing out a quiet laugh.
Mingyu: well the reason I didn't say it out loud Sent at 10:06 AM
Mingyu: is cause I also wanted to say that I keep thinking about last weekend Sent at 10:06 AM
Mingyu: when your thighs were shaking Sent at 10:06 AM
Mingyu: seeing you in that skirt reminded me of it Sent at 10:07 AM
You impulsively pressed your thighs together, your eyes widening and your lips flattening into a line as each message showed up on your screen.
You: you really think this is the time and place to be saying that? Sent at 10:07 AM
You: calm down you're acting like a douchey frat boy Sent at 10:07 AM
You smiled to yourself at your teasing reply, and you heard Mingyu quietly chuckle.
Mingyu: wowwwww Sent at 10:07 AM
Mingyu: don't act like you don't like it Sent at 10:08 AM
Mingyu: I see you rubbing your thighs together over there Sent at 10:08 AM
You felt your face burn up as you realized he could see the effect he had on you. You didn't respond, letting him continue on.
Mingyu: I know you're a bad girl Y/N Sent at 10:08 AM
Mingyu: you liked it when I spanked you Sent at 10:08 AM
Mingyu: bet you'd like it if I touched you here right now Sent at 10:09 AM
You clicked your phone off quickly, setting it down against the desk. Your face was red, and you cleared your throat, trying to focus as the professor finally entered the room.
You kept your gaze locked on the front of the room, but you could still see Mingyu shifting closer to you out of the corner of your eye.
Just as the professor began talking, fingers brushed against your thigh and began toying with the hem of your skirt. You swallowed thickly, cursing yourself for the growing arousal between your legs.
Mingyu turned his head slightly towards you. "Don't react," he whispered. He turned his attention back to the front of the room, but his hand remained on your thigh, now softly squeezing the flesh between his fingers.
You inhaled a shaky breath, nervously glancing around the room. Luckily, you and Mingyu sat at the edge of the back row; the only other people in your row sat further down and to the left of Mingyu. His body and the desk most likely concealed everything that he was doing to you, but you were still fearful of getting caught.
His hand trailed upwards, slipping underneath your skirt. His fingers pressed into your inner thigh and you bit your lip. He stared forward, his face blank, as if nothing was happening.
His hand brushed against your core, and you inhaled sharply. The corner of his lip quirked up at the sound. Then he pressed his fingers against your clit through the fabric of your underwear.
Your thighs squeezed shut around his hand instinctively, and Mingyu tsked quietly before pushing your legs apart again. He began rubbing slow circles through the fabric, your arousal soaking through. Your stomach was twisting into a tighter knot with each moment that passed.
Then Mingyu suddenly slipped his fingers beneath your underwear, pressing into your bare folds. You gasped quietly and quickly grabbed hold of his wrist.
"Stop," you muttered, your voice full of alarm. Mingyu pulled his hand away, and you clenched as you were left with nothing, but you let out a relieved sigh. You were panting quietly, and he glanced at you with worry in his eyes as he wiped his hand on his pants.
You pulled out your phone and quickly texted him.
You: we can't do that here Sent at 10:14 AM
Mingyu: I'm sorry Sent at 10:14 AM
You glanced at him, and he looked back at you. You nodded as if to say "it's okay" and chewed on your bottom lip as you contemplated sending your next message.
You: come over tonight Sent at 10:15 AM
Mingyu's tongue darted out to lick his lips and he turned his head towards you. His lips were upturned into a smirk as he gave you an affirming nod.
Time seemed to crawl during the rest of your classes for the day; you were anticipating Wonwoo's response and running over in your mind what you were planning on doing with Mingyu later.
As evening approached, a large hole formed in the pit in your stomach. Wonwoo still had yet to respond, which left a bitter taste in your mouth; you guessed he still wasn't done giving you the silent treatment.
You almost texted Mingyu a few times to tell him not to come over, but each time, you thought about his hand slipping beneath your skirt in class and erased your message.
You were only okay with this because Jisoo was still gone, but also, the thought of inviting a guy over to have sex while your roommate was visiting her dad in the hospital made you feel guilty. And gross. When did you become so desperate for some dick?
It was around 10 PM now, and you were pacing around your room while waiting for Mingyu to show up. You had changed out of your skirt, now wearing shorts and a crewneck instead.
A knock at the door startled you, and then your stomach dropped. You were really doing this again. You twisted the knob with hands that trembled softly and opened the door.
Mingyu stood on the other side, and you quickly observed his appearance as he stepped into the room. He also had changed his clothes from earlier. Now he was wearing sweatpants and a zip-up over a t-shirt that hugged his chest nicely. His hair was a bit messier, too.
"Hi," you exhaled.
Mingyu stood tall over you, making you feel small and nervous. You fidgeted with your hands as you stared up at him.
"Hey," he replied, licking his lips as he scanned your face.
You hesitated. "Um... do you wanna watch a movie or something?" Internally, you cursed yourself for being so stiff and awkward. But Mingyu's lips turned up into a small smirk and he agreed.
A moment later, his body laid next to yours on the bed while you picked out some random movie on Netflix. Once it started, the rapid beating of your heart didn't allow you to pay attention to the laptop screen; it was so intense you were afraid that Mingyu could feel it.
You were also hyperaware of the sensation of his body lying next to yours. The warmth of his body radiated onto you and the soft fabric of his clothing felt like a blanket against your bare skin.
"Are you even paying attention?" He asked suddenly, causing you jump slightly.
You cleared your throat. "Y-yeah."
"You seem so tense," he teased. He placed his hand on your thigh and lightly squeezed. You inhaled shakily, keeping your eyes on the screen. "Is something on your mind?"
"No," you gulped.
"Don't lie to me, Y/N." He said with a hushed voice into your ear. "I know what you invited me here for."
His face was so close that his nose was brushing against the side of your face while he spoke. Your stomach was in a tight knot now, and somehow your heart was beating even faster than before.
"You were so wet when I was touching you today." He continued to tease, lightly biting your ear. The hand that rested on your thigh moved up, his fingers brushing against your clit. "I knew you'd like that. You're dirty, aren't you?"
He pressed his fingers to your clit through your shorts as he asked the question. You whined softly, your hips jerking up at the stimulation. Finally, you turned your head towards him, pressing your lips to his in a rough kiss.
Mingyu bit at your bottom lip while he kissed you, and then pulled away after a moment to glance at the laptop that was still playing the movie. "You're not watching this, right?" He joked before shutting it and placing it on the floor.
He hovered over you now, his body caged between your legs, and went back to kissing you, this time with his tongue slipping past your lips. You moaned against his mouth softly as he pressed his warm body against yours.
He pulled away for a moment, making eye contact with you as he asked: "You sure you wanna do this?" He ran his hand down your side reassuringly as he awaited your reply. "We don't have to." He added before pressing a soft kiss to your cheek.
The sudden shift in his demeanor left you stunned for a moment; you quickly nodded before you could hesitate. "Yes, Mingyu." The hands that rested on the back of his neck pulled him closer to you, connecting your lips once again.
His hands began to tug the bottom of your shirt up, and the feeling of his fingers brushing against your stomach left small goosebumps across your skin.
Soon, clothes were discarded about the room, leaving you in only your bra and underwear and Mingyu in his sweats. His bare chest pressed against yours as he sucked and nibbled on the skin of your neck. You let out a soft moan, not even caring about the bruises that would later appear.
Mingyu lifted his face from your neck suddenly, mumbling against your cheek with a small smile on his face: "Can I try something with you?"
You stared at him, eyes wide with curiosity, and he grinned. His eyes seemed to flash with something that resembled insecurity before he finally admitted: "I wanna tie your hands."
You felt a gush of arousal between your legs at the thoughtβ€”the thought of being teased with the inability to touch his skin. You nodded in approval. The corner of his lip twitched up at your receptiveness, and he glanced over his shoulder before grabbing one of your belts off the floor.
He secured it around your wrists before pushing them above your head, and just as he was about to continue leaving kisses across your body, you spoke. "Mingyu?"
His eyes widened as they rapidly scanned your face for signs of discomfort. "Do you not like it? Should I take it off?"
You snickered at how worried he was before asking: "Can you make it tighter?"
Relief flooded over Mingyu, and then he chuckled softly in disbelief. "Anything for you, sweets," he joked while adjusting the restraints around your wrists. You laughed, and the previous anxiety left your body.
Your wrists were bound tighter now, giving Mingyu full control, and his hands squeezed your waist as he placed a kiss on your chest. "I can't believe you," he said. "Acting so innocent when you're really a little whore for me."
His vulgar words shocked you, but you couldn't deny the other effects they had. You whined quietly, desperately raising your hips to meet his. Mingyu pushed your hips back down against the bed, and then one of his hands reached up to grope your chest.
He left wet kisses and bites across your body as he made his way from your neck to your hips, discarding the last of your clothing and leaving you bare beneath him. His jaw dropped a bit as he pulled your underwear down your legs, revealing the arousal that had built up. "So fucking wet," he observed in awe.
He began to kiss and suck on the skin of your inner thighs, avoiding the place where you needed him most. You wanted to reach down and tug at his hair, but the belt around your wrists prevented the action.
You groaned as you tried pushing your body closer to Mingyu's. "Please, Gyu." You begged. Mingyu glanced up at you from between your thighs with a smirk plastered on his face once he saw how desperate you looked.
"Is this what you want?" He asked as he dragged his fingers through your folds, coating them in your arousal. He rubbed your clit in tight circles and your legs twitched in response.
"More," you said in between moans. You were already sweating and red in the face out of desperation; you could feel your hair sticking to your forehead.
Mingyu stopped his movements, but his hand remained pressed to your clit, and it throbbed beneath his touch. "What else do you want?" He teased. Your eyes were squeezed shut, but you could clearly imagine the cocky, satisfied expression on his face right now. "Tell me," he pleaded.
He suddenly resumed his ministrations, this time at a faster pace, which made your stomach twist. You cried out, unable to form any words. "Come on, Y/N. Use your words."
He brought his hand down to your pussy in a rough slap. The sensation caused your entire body to jolt and you let out a whimper in surprise. Mingyu buried his face in your neck before whispering into your ear: "Beg for it."
Finally, you caved, and you arched your back as you moaned, "Please, Gyu. Please fuck me."
A devilish yet satisfied grin settled across his face as he pulled away from you. "Good girl." He quickly said as his hands found their way to the waistband of his sweatpants. You glanced down, seeing the way his cock strained against the fabric. You wanted to reach out and feel him, but all you could do was lie there helplessly as he undressed himself. He lowered his pants further down his hips until he suddenly stopped.
"Do you have condoms?" He questioned, his lips pursing in thought.
You shook your head. "No. Why would I have them?" Realization slowly began to dawn on you. "You didn't for-"
"Fuck," Mingyu groaned while running his palms over his face. "I forgot."
Disappointment settled over you, but the lust you were feeling for him remained. You ran over various thoughts in your mind as you observed his conflicted expression.
Mingyu's arms dropped to his sides. "It's okay," he reassured. "We can do something else." He looked up at you, his previous lust-filled expression returning as he caressed your thighs. "Have you ever sat on anyone's face before?" He suggested.
The thought enticed youβ€”the image of Mingyu between your thighs always made your stomach twistβ€”but ultimately you knew you needed to feel him inside you.
"Just fuck me anyways." You blurted out. Mingyu's eyes nearly bulged out of his head.
"What?" He cried.
"I'm on the pill," you quickly explained. "You can just... pull out or whatever." Heat rushed to your cheeks; you had become so desperate for him.
You weren't sure what you were doing. Deep down, you knew it was a terrible idea, but you were being controlled by lustβ€”the same lust and desire that made you tell him you wanted to kiss him a few nights ago.
Mingyu's lips were still parted in shock as he scanned your face. "Really?" He didn't see a single hint of hesitation on your visage.
"If that's what you want..." he trailed off. You saw a look of desire return to his eyes as he observed your bare body. Finally, he pushed his pants down his hips and leaned over you again.
His forearms rested on either side of your head, trapping you beneath him as he slipped his tongue into your mouth once again.
He reached down and grabbed hold of his hardened cock, guiding it through the folds of your pussy. Your jaw hung open and a deep moan escaped your throat at the pleasure. "You're gonna be the death of me, I swear." Mingyu mumbled into your ear in response to your moans.
He coated himself in your arousal as he continued to rub his cock against you, his tip nudging your clit and teasing you with the smallest bit of relief. He buried his face in your neck as he finally pushed himself into you.
A loud moan fell from his lips at the feeling. This was so much different from last time. It felt warm and soft and bare. Every sensation felt amplified; the stimulation was so intense.
"Holy shit," you gasped. You felt it too.
Mingyu's hips stuttered as he bottomed out inside you. "You feel so fucking good," he groaned. His words mixed with his hot breath against your throat made your entire body burn up. Mingyu slowly pulled himself out of you, and your back arched as his cock rubbed against your walls before he pushed into you again roughly.
Your chest rose and fell quickly with each short breath you took while Mingyu set his pace of his hips slapping against yours. Your back was still arched, and your hips lifted up uncontrollably to meet his.
"F-fuck," you whined. Your arms tried to spread apart, but they were restricted by the belt again. There was a dull ache in your wrists, but it only added to the pleasurable mix of sensations you were feeling right now.
His hands were squeezing your waist tight, to the point where you thought there might be marks there later. He thrusted into you quickly, desperately trying to reach his high. You opened your eyes to watch his euphoric expression: his head was tilted back, his lips parted, and eyes fluttered shut.
He let out a particularly loud moan and his eyes met yours. A small smile found its way to his lips before his eyes grazed down until they reached your chest. He watched the way your breasts bounced with each movement, and the sight nearly made his eyes roll back into his head.
"You gonna come?" He choked out as he saw the pleasure on your face. You moaned in response, unable to speak. He leaned over you and wrapped his hand around your throat. He stopped for a moment, before roughly pushing into you, his hips slapping against yours.
Finally, he brought his hand down to your clit, rubbing it in tight circles as he continued to thrust into you. The knot in your stomach burned and tightened. You clenched around him, which caused him to choke out a moan.
The pressure in your stomach reached its breaking point. Your body was washed over with a feeling of euphoria as your thighs shook uncontrollably. You could barely hear yourself when you let out a loud cry.
Your moans, the euphoric look on your face, and the feeling of you clenching around him all led to the snap of pleasure in Mingyu's core. He gasped as he struggled to pull himself out of you. "Fuck, I'm coming."
Hot ropes of cum painted across your stomach. Mingyu's chest rose and fell with his pants and moans as he watched the substance cover your body.
"Fuck," he whispered in awe once his orgasm faded away and he admired the mess he left on you.
Just as you were trying to catch your breath and relax your arms, they were stopped by the belt again. "Are you gonna take this off me now?" You asked.
Mingyu chuckled. "I guess so." He finally undid the loop and threw the belt to the floor. You sighed in relief. Mingyu quickly noticed the red marks on your wrists and caressed the irritated skin. "Oh, no. You could've told me it was hurting you." He frowned.
"No, it's fine. I-I liked it." You admitted sheepishly. Luckily, your cheeks were still red from before, so it hid the embarrassed flush of your skin. It was true, though. You never did these types of things before, and you certainly never thought pleasure and pain could go together, but you now that you had experienced it, you were enjoying it all too much.
Mingyu shook his head in disbelief, a smile spreading across his lips as he stared at you. You leaned forward, pressing your lips to his softly.
After a moment, Mingyu pushed you back slightly. "You, uh, probably don't wanna get that on your bed." He pointed to the cum on your stomach. You glanced down. You had almost forgotten it was there.
"Yeah, you're probably right." You laughed. Mingyu reached over for a tissue to wipe it off. The two of you cleaned up, and soon you were lying next to him on the bed again, with him back in his sweats and you with an oversized shirt on.
You faced each other, but your head was curled up against his chest, listening to the quiet sound of his heart beating beneath his ribs.
"You don't seem sad this time." He said. His chest vibrated beneath you as he spoke. You pulled away to look at him with your brows furrowed.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know. All the other times we've done this you just seem sad after. But this time you don't." He noted.
You shrugged. "You seem different too. More cocky, I guess."
Mingyu pushed you playfully. "Shut up," he snickered.
"No, seriously!" You exclaimed with a laugh. "You were so awkward like a week ago and then today you pulled that stupid stunt in class!" You playfully smacked him back in the chest.
"Okay, yeah. You're right." Mingyu smiled, and then he sighed. "I guess I'm just... getting used to this."
The two of you sat in silence for a moment, both thinking of the same thing.
Mingyu rolled onto his back and stared up at the ceiling. "Which I really shouldn't be," he continued. You chewed on your lip as you pondered what to say.
"I'm breaking up with him."
Saying it out loud made realization hit you like a ton of bricks. But you weren't upset anymore. You would miss all those trips to the coffee shop and weekends in bed from over the past two years, but they had already come to an end the moment you packed up and moved away. At this point, he had become someone you used to knowβ€”someone you were holding on to when maybe you should have let go a long time ago.
Mingyu was quiet for a moment. "Wow," he finally spoke. "That's probably for the best. You didn't seem happy."
"Yeah..." you trailed off. An awkward silence started to settle, so you cleared your throat and quickly changed subjects. "So, I haven't heard much about this frat you're in."
Mingyu chuckled softly, turning towards you again. "What do you wanna know?" His hands idly reached for yours, fidgeting with and rubbing circles on the back of your hand.
You thought for a second. "Hmm, I guess... who are the other guys besides you, Cheol, Seungkwan, Seokmin, and bathroom guy?"
Mingyu let out a loud laugh. "Oh, God. Bathroom guy is Soonyoung. I swear, he's the smartest yet stupidest person you'll ever meet." He paused, his face contorted in thought. "Then there's Josh..."
Tumblr media
You slowly stirred awake, scrunching your face once you realized the light was still on and about to blind you the second you opened your eyes. You peeked open an eye, glancing around your room for the clock. It was almost 4 AM. You sighed, groggily trying to sit up and recollect what you were doing before you fell asleep, but an arm was weighing you down.
You glanced over your shoulder, and were taken back in surprise for a second when you saw Mingyu lying next to you. The two of you must have dozed off at some point without realizing, and now he was pressed up against you from behind with his arm draped over your waist. He was sleeping deeply, with his lips slightly parted and cheeks puffed out.
You peeled his arm off you slowly, careful not to wake him as you slipped out of bed and into the bathroom. You observed yourself in the fluorescent lighting. Thankfully, your hair wasn't too messy, but your makeup was still on and smudged around your eyes. Something about it almost made you feel hungover.
You spent a few minutes cleaning yourself up before staring at your reflection. If it wasn't already awkward enough that you and Mingyu accidentally fell asleep together, now he would see you bare-faced and groggy with sleep when he woke up. Sure, you two had sex a couple times, but somehow sleeping together was a thousand times more intimate.
You tiptoed out of the bathroom, slowly shutting the door so it didn't make any noise. You lay back down in bed stiffly, pressing yourself right against the edge to avoid Mingyu's grasp.
Just as you finished turning off the light and settling back into bed, Mingyu's arm reached forward and rested across your waist again.
"What time is it?" He muttered, his voice raspy with sleep. You jumped at the sudden noise.
"Oh, um, it's 4:02." You answered.
Mingyu pushed himself up onto his forearm and rubbed his eyes. "Like, in the morning?" He asked. You told him yes and his eyes widened. "Woah, sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep." He yawned.
He fully sat up now, running his hands through his messy hair. He turned to you, just barely able to see you in the dark. "I can go, if you want."
Oh, God. Even though this situation was an awkward mess, there was no way you could make him go home now.
"I'm not kicking you out in the middle of the night. What kind of terrible person do you think I am?" You responded, to which Mingyu laughed under his breath. "It's only a few more hours."
"Okay," Mingyu said as he lay on his back again. He rolled onto his side, his back towards you. You sat in silence before Mingyu added, "Thanks for not kicking me out."
You chuckled quietly, allowing your eyes to flutter shut and waiting for sleep to overtake you again.
Tumblr media
The next time you woke up, sunlight shone in your eyes. With your eyes squinted shut, you rolled over, expecting to bump into Mingyu, but were greeted with empty sheets instead.
Your eyes shot open as you felt around the bed and realized that Mingyu was nowhere to be found. You couldn't help feeling disappointed. Even though you were dreading having to face him in the morning, the fact that he left without saying a word stung.
Suddenly, the bathroom door swung open. "Oh, you're awake," a low voice called. Mingyu stood in the doorway, still shirtless and his hair a little tousled.
You smiled. "I thought you left."
"Nope, still here," he replied. He sat on the edge of the bed and gazed at you. His dark eyes looked like they held a certain warmth in them. "I've never seen someone look so nice after waking up," he said.
Your face burned up instantly. "Stop," you cried sheepishly, burying your face in your hands. You didn't even want to imagine what you looked like right now.
Mingyu grabbed your wrists and pulled them away from your face. "No, really!" He exclaimed while you wrestled back with him. "Your hair isn't even messy and your skin looks so clear," he said in between laughs.
"What are you trying to do, Mingyu?" You cried.
"Just take the compliment and say thanks!" He responded.
You stopped fighting back, letting him hold your wrists while you stared at him with a pout. "Fine," you grumbled. "Thank you."
A satisfied grin settled across his lips, and suddenly you noticed how close he was to you. "You're welcome," he said, his face only a few inches from yours.
You watched as his eyes dragged down to your lips and your breath nearly caught in your throat. He inched forward until his lips met yours. The kiss was soft and slow, until he pushed you back against the bed and pinned your wrists by the side of your head. He slipped his tongue past your lips and you moaned quietly against his mouth.
"You know what I said last night about you sitting on my face?" Mingyu pulled away to say, staring down at you with a mischievous glint in his eye.
You felt arousal growing between your legs as you nodded rapidly. Mingyu let go of your wrists to lie on his back instead. Your hands trembled a bit as you reached to pull your underwear down your thighs.
"Your phone keeps going off," Mingyu said.
"Huh?" You didn't even hear it because you were too focused on the knot you felt in your stomach. You recollected yourself and shook your head. "Just ignore it. It's probably Jisoo or something."
"Hurry up," he teased, lightly smacking your thigh. You were straddling his waist.
"I am! I'm just nervous." You replied, trying to ignore the heat that was rushing to your cheeks. "I don't wanna accidentally kill you."
Mingyu rolled his eyes. "Oh, shush. I wouldn't wanna die any other way." You hovered above his face, hesitating each time you tried to lower yourself. Finally, Mingyu grabbed onto your thighs and pulled you down. You instantly moaned at the feeling of his warm tongue flicking against your clit.
"H-holy shit," you moaned breathlessly. He held onto your thighs tightly, not allowing you to move. Your legs began to twitch at the stimulation and your hips rocked involuntarily.
Mingyu pulled away, and you thought for a second that he was trying to tease you before he groaned: "Oh, my god. Who keeps calling you?" He shoved his hand under your pillow and pulled out your phone, squinting at the screen as he read.
"Who's Wonwoo?"
Your heart dropped right into the pit of your stomach. It felt like someone had punched you in the gut and you were unable to catch your breath.
"Are you kidding?" You cried. Mingyu had never seen your eyes so wide before. He turned the phone around to show you. Sure enough, Wonwoo's name was on the screen.
"Is that your boyfrie-" he started, but you interrupted by jerking the phone out of his hand.
"Don't say anything," you ordered. You hit answer and brought the phone up to your ear with a shaky hand.
"Hey," you said, trying to conceal the quiver in your voice.
"Hey," Wonwoo replied. Hearing his voice again made your throat tighten.
"I'm on campus. Can we please talk?"

im WEAK for my faves as parents and i know lots of y'all are too so here are
bachelors as dads vibes
(bachelorettes as moms will come soon too ❀️ under cut cause it got very long lol)
sebastian
a chill dad. when u were very little he'd let u sit in his lap while he codes and consequently u find heavy metal soothing cause he would be playing it while he works and u would always fall asleep against him
if he wasn't using his second computer u could play around on it while he works. 'existing in each other's company while u both do stuff' time becomes a regular thing even as u get older, u would do ur homework next to him at his desk and he'd help if u were confused
the first time u were deemed old enough to go for a ride on his motorcycle u were SO fucking hyped even if u had to be absolutely decked out in protective gear. sometimes while u were in high school he'd help you flex by picking you up/dropping you off on the bike
would bundle u up in his hoodies as a toddler and there's a few pics of u absolutely SWIMMING in them with the hood all the way over ur face pretending to be the grim reaper. he'd never been so proud
elliott
an eloquent dad, but still has goofy dadlike tendencies. he may be the picture of a dark academia dilf with his slacks and button ups sipping coffee in the morning over a manuscript, but he'll still make the jokes. calls u things like little one and taught u to play piano
he got u ur own little bookshelf for all ur baby books and he'd read to you every single night without fail. he'd make up stories too and u would help and make a collab tho it often got u more excited than relaxed for bed but it was worth it!!! when u were grown up u helped him compile the short stories u made up together and published it. he'd also share with u poems he wrote for you and about you over the years, lots of them to do with the wonder of watching a whole tiny person grow into a big person
would always take u on nature walks and play at the beach!!! u would find shells and rocks to give to him and he'd always look like u just handed him pure gold
u made a pact that u would sit still for him while he did ur hair if u could braid his hair in turn. u both looked very stylish
sam
cool dad!!! fun dad!!!! watches anime with u when u get into it and is forever ur player 2. if u had a skateboard or a scooter he'd always show u up by pulling off sick tricks and it became a friendly rivalry. taught u to stick it to the man at a very early age. teaches u to play guitar and took u to ur first rock concert when u were like 8
there are baby photos of u wearing sunglasses that cover half ur face and when asked about it he'd say 'u were just a rly cool baby!!!!' in some of them he's wearing matching sunglasses and carrying u in one of those front baby pouches. he'd also always sing to you as a baby and still does it idly sometimes and has written songs for u!!!!
ur #1 hypeman. praises u for everything and always makes sure u know how cool u are just for existing. he loses his mind at ur grade school talent show and at ur graduation he's there holding up his phone and crying like FUCK IT UP KENNETH!!!!! 😭😭😭❀️❀️❀️
tho alongside all the fun he teaches u to be very responsible and polite and above all extremely kind!!!!
shane
has the most potent typical dad energy. the socks with sandals, the jokes, the ac/dc, the funny hobby projects, the rivalry with other pta parents, all of it. calls u squirt and kiddo and the kind to ruffle ur hair. always gives u piggy back rides even as u get older, says it helps him stay in shape. when u were little you'd always bap ur baby hands against his stubble cause heehee funny scratchy face
u loved when he was in charge of dinner growing up cause it was often takeout pizza/burgers. 'hey im making a pot of kraft dinner should i double it for u' kind of guy, adds cut up hot dogs and after ur other parent voices a need for nutrition adds frozen veggies too. VERY good at cooking all kinds of eggs tho, would always feed u eggs from his own chickens and would accept nothing less!!!
teaches u a lot about chickens and some of ur fave memories with him are in the coop or chillin in a field in spring with him and the new chicks. some other faves include the regular tea parties with him and cousin jas, and even as u both get older u all sit down and have tea together sometimes and occasionally break out one of the old barbie movies for funsies
u learned how to say fuck from him when u were 3 and he died laughing. if called and told that u got into a fight at school would reply with 'did they win'
harvey
sweet, dorky doctor dad. would get SUPER worried whenever u got so much as a cold, made u stay home and rest and HYDRATE. taught u proper medical standard handwashing from when u first learned how to turn on the tap, also taught u a lot of basic first aid. when u were fussy he would read u his old textbooks from med school and it'd get you to sleep in minutes
refuses to let u leave the house without eating something first and would often get up early to make u a big breakfast before school (it's the most important meal of the day!!!!). yes it's ok if ur late ur english teacher can wait until you've had ur veggies. when u were a baby his standard of keeping u fed was 'if i had to change less than five diapers a day it wasn't enough'. encourages taking a snack and water everywhere
as u got older u realized how hardworking he is so u make sure he knows how much u love and appreciate him, goes all out for his bday and father's day like how he goes all out for u every day and it makes him cry. he cries at ur first birthday and ur graduation too, cried when u got him a #1 DAD mug specifically for his morning coffee, he just cries a lot and it's very endearing, dad taught u it's okay to be emotional. u also gift him funky socks to wear at work and he goes bananas for them
he taught u how to assemble model planes and u would sit with him while he tuned his old radio, u liked the bwee bwee sounds. he would play jazz and swing and dance with u standing on his feet. when u were little u liked to play with his moustache and occasionally he would fall asleep while watching u but the most u ever did was add a goatee to the stache with washable marker which he thought was pretty funny
alex
strong dad!!! jock dad!!!!! would flex and let u hang off his bicep, play wrestle (u would always win), sit u on his shoulders and run around making airplane noises, play sportsball in the yard and would come up with fun challenges for u if u got bored of catch. pretty much the master of keeping ur baby self entertained and was always there to tuck u in for a nap when u got tired out
makes an extra protein shake for u every morning and loads of scrambled eggs, will also sneak u a cookie tho
he's always super encouraging and positive and enthusiastic about everything u do which u pick up fast. u go to his games and even if sports turns out not to be ur thing the fact that ur there rooting for him makes him put in 1000% effort, calls u his good luck charm!!!! he will also throw u over his shoulders and use u for weightlifting while u shout encouragement directly into his ear. this continues until ur grown up (and sometimes even then so he can flex even as an 'old man')
gets really really worried about you whenever ur sick or get hurt and will lose sleep over it but stays upbeat for ur sake. he will cuddle u tho. sometimes you'll ask for stories about ur grandma and he'll tell u and it's so nice to him to talk about his mother and smile instead of being sad, you help him heal because it's so wonderful to think of her as a grandmother and how proud she'd be. he plays her music box for u to help u sleep when ur little and it still makes u feel sleepy and safe when ur older

always you-shaped thoughts inside my head
so, we found wonderland, the amazing fanfic by @pink-flame ended this week. as a result of my deep and sorrowful mourning, i wrote a fanfic for a fucking fanfic. yes, everyone, we have reached that point. so if you’re one of the unfortunate souls who hasn’t read it then you can start here and do not read this if you don’t want spoilers babes!!!!
anyways, i don’t want to talk about how much i cried when i wrote this. moving on. title from find u again by mark ronson ft. camila cabello and once again THANK YOU @pink-flame FOR THIS WORK, I LOVED IT, I LOVE YOU, ENJOY
A/N: the first part of this is a reimagining of a scene from the story, and the second part is more of a deleted scene. grab tissues if you’re one who cries easily. also tagging @bluefirewrites because i kept texting you while writing this
Julie doesn’t know in what timeline she thought that going to the bookstore would be a good idea.Β 
Even with her back flat against the wall and Luke’s book clutched identically between her hands and the palms of every other eager fan in the room, she felt like she was too close. Like this was a mistake.
She was the one who insisted they don’t look for each other.Β 
But here they were. Him, with a poem that crossed time with the silent, lost plea for her to come back to him; her, who chose to answer the call even if she knew she shouldn’t have. Julie should have realized that she couldn’t avoid him forever. Their paths were meant to cross in every universe.Β 
When he takes the stage, she doesn’t shatter. Yet.Β 
People are swamped beside her and Flynn on all sides, and she still feels like it’s just the two of them. Once he’s in her line of sight, it’s only him in the room, only him that exists.Β 
In a world where she’s jumped to and from across time, Luke may be the most real thing she’s ever known.Β 
The words he says as he reads and answers questions hit her ears as just a series of tones and syllables that are achingly familiar. He’s laughing through one of the book’s anecdotes and suddenly she’s back in the arcade, laughing with him at the pinball machine. He’s talking about the rush of playing their first sold-out show, and she’s back in the greenroom as he heatedly kisses her up against a wall after she spent so much time fighting for him to love her again.Β 
He’s reading about his parents, and she’s back on that pull-out couch that was only comfy when he was in it; listening to him whisper about their fragmented relationship.Β 
But then a 20-year-old pokes him about the poem. And he says he loves her -- well, not explicitly, but he says it’s about love -- and the other shoe drops.Β 
Tears inundate her eyes.Β 
β€œI have to go,” her voice shakes as a sob threatens to rip through her words. Flynn offers to join, but Julie needs fresh air and to be alone and to just let her tears fall onto the asphalt of an alleyway without feeling the need to explain herself. She will always be alone in these emotions, in this heartbreak, and that’s okay -- she just doesn’t want anyone to act like they get it.
So she passes her book to Flynn, urges her to get it signed, and flees out the side door.Β 
Right before she’s out, the 20-year-old presses on about Find Me: β€œWell, what if they came to you now? What if they found you? Wouldn’t you be happy to see them?”
The exit slams shut behind her and she doesn’t get to hear his answer.Β 
--
β€œWell, what if they came to you now? What if they found you? Wouldn’t you be happy to see them?”
Flynn watches intently as Luke’s eyes darken. The book feels heavy in her hands, and she feels like she is suddenly intruding on an intimate moment between Luke and Julie -- even with Julie gone.Β 
She didn’t always understand what happened with her best friend. But this was clearly a mind, body and soul situation.Β 
Luke has to clear his throat and blink rapidly before answering. β€œGod, sorry, that one caught me a little!” The audience chuckles. β€œNo one’s asked me that so far on this tour. That’s a good question. I probably think about it more than I should, but… I mean, first of all, they wouldn’t come and find me. I know them well enough to know that Find Me just… Went out into the universe with no expectation of a response. But if they decided too, I… I’d wanna make sure they were happy. And I’d probably thank them one more time for everything they did when I was younger. I would probably be in shock, honestly. I haven’t seen them in a long time.”
Flynn is wiping her nose with a stray tissue from her purse before she can even register that she’s started crying.Β 
The random people in the back row with her send her strange looks, wondering why she’s getting so emotional, but hearing Luke talk about her best friend like that… 
β€œDo you still love them?”
God, this person won’t give him a break!
The rockstar visibly tenses up, and the easy grin plastered on his face breaks. That’s when his manager hustles onstage and announces that they are going to start the signing; and everyone needs to start lining up.Β 
Flynn has to fight to get farther up in line, but it’s worth it when she reaches him.
β€œHi,” he smiles, β€œwho should I make it out to?”
The word makes her tongue feel like lead. β€œJulie.”
His head snaps up, and he’s fully looking at her for the first time. There are a thousand Julie’s in the world, but he knows it’s his.Β 
β€œI’m her best friend,” Flynn continues, shifting her teary eyes down to her converse because fuck Julie wasn’t kidding when she said his eyes were intense sometimes.Β 
β€œFlynn.”
β€œOh... She told you-”
β€œWhere is she? Is she here?”
She’s not even looking at him, but he sounds so desperate, and the water in her eyes swells as she glances at the exit off to her side. β€œNot right now. But she wanted me to get this signed for her.”
Luke’s Sharpie doesn’t move across the inside cover. In fact, he’s frozen; staring off in the distance with what Flynn is sure must be a whirlwind of emotion that he didn’t ask for. Flynn isn’t sure how to handle it -- they’re in public, and she’s minorly concerned she just sent him spiraling, and they don’t even know each other -- but she feels the need to relay a message since he’ll never get to hear it from Julie himself.Β 
β€œShe…” Luke looks back up at her; eyes boring into hers in a way that could tug the truth out of anybody. As she blinks, an enthusiastic tear drops onto her cheek, and she instantly lifts her index finger under her eye to catch anything else. β€œFuck, my eyeliner. Sorry. Anyways-”
The words get caught in her throat again, so she has to take another deep breath. Helping star-crossed lovers communicate when they are almost thirty years apart is more emotionally taxing than she anticipated.Β 
β€œShe’s really proud of you,” Flynn finally manages with a voice squeakier and higher than she ever wants to hear it again. Another tear falls from her other eye. β€œShe loves y- your music, and hopes that you have everything you wanted and she’s so proud of you for everything you’ve built.”
At this point, the crumpled tissue in her hand has been helping her dry her eyes because standing in front of Luke Patterson and trying to tell him that the love of his life still cares -- still watches from afar, still wants the world for him -- is making her realize the emotional turmoil that Julie must have been feeling all this time.Β 
How did she do it?
In front of her, Luke is rubbing his hands over his face and audibly takes a deep, sniffly breath in. Turning to the same woman who got onstage to transition the event before, he informs her: β€œI need to get some air.”
β€œLuke, where are you-”
But he’s already forcefully pushing himself back in his chair, grasping the book off of the signing table, and darting out the same exit that Julie stormed through ten minutes ago.Β 
When the manager turns to look at Flynn -- she bolts away and towards the front entrance. If Julie and Luke are about to meet in that alleyway, she doesn’t want to intrude. Even if she already fucked up both of their plans to never see each other again.Β 
--
Julie is still hyperventilating and sobbing in the alleyway when the emergency exit loudly flings open against the wall of the bookstore. Her arms are wrapped tightly around herself with a childish prayer to have Teddy Luke in her arms, because at least then there would be a little piece of him to stay with her when the rest of him is gone.
She’s expecting Flynn, or an employee on their smoke break, but not-
β€œLuke.”
β€œJulie.”
A whimper leaves her lips at hearing him say her name for the first time in so long. His own eyes are glassy, and even though he’s so much older his eyes are still the same. He’s still her Luke, and that’s such a dangerous idea to touch in this timeline but she can’t let it go.Β 
β€œI’m so sorry,” she wails, trying to avoid looking at his heartbroken expression for too long. β€œI know, I said we can’t do this, I just-”
β€œJulie.”
β€œDid you want me to find you?”
Air puffs from his mouth in a harsh sigh as he takes a few steps closer to her; incredulously focused on the fact that she’s there, in front of him, real. β€œI- Of course, of course I did, Julie. I just didn’t think you’d come. But I wanted you to know I was looking.”
Her eyelids fall shut. More tears are pushed out, and she doesn’t know if she’s crying or laughing because of course Luke would look even when she told him not to. He respected her, and he respected her wishes, but he could never help himself from pushing the boundaries.Β 
Achingly, she’s always been so grateful for that trait in him.Β 
But now the two of them are awkwardly standing only a few feet away, and the urge to just feel him, assure that he’s solid in front of her is becoming all too real.Β 
Gravel rolls under the soles of her shoes. β€œI loved the book,” she confesses. β€œAll of the stories. I mean, I’m sorry about the- About your splits-”
β€œI shouldn’t have even tried with them-”
β€œBut everything else, just…”
How does she say it?
β€œWhen- Back when, in the other timeline, and you guys were ghosts… Those stories were the kind of thing you had always wanted. You were so determined to get it, and-” She sniffles. β€œI’m so glad you got it.”
His lips turn downward. It’s a flash of the familiarly frustrated Luke who is trying to make a tough decision, but in this case, she doesn’t know what that decision is. All she sees is the wince at her saying it was what he wanted, and how happy she was that he got it, and-
A conceited part of her contemplates if he’s about to correct her, tell her that life hasn’t been great, say that he would have rather had it differently; but he doesn’t want her to think her sacrifice was for nothing.Β 
Oh, God, please say he’s happy. She doesn’t think she could handle anything less.Β 
β€œIt’s thanks to you,” he responds instead, gulping down any more that threatens to come up. β€œYou saved me.” Beat. β€œAre- Are you happy? Is everything in this timeline okay?”
Well, in her head, not exactly. Of course she still had her dad and brother and Flynn, but Sunset Curve never stayed together, she erased Carrie’s entire existence, and everything felt just a little tilted on its axis. Julie felt like a stranger in a world of her own creation.Β 
She yearned for the days back in Wonderland where everyone belonged. They were a little scarred and a little broken, but they were home. Her house from the original 2020 timeline was her home. Luke was her home, and he was right in front of her; the only security blanket she has right now.Β 
Once again, she finds herself bursting into tears and wanting so badly to reach out to him, to give him a hug and tell him she wishes that she stayed in bed in Wonderland with him forever. She wants to jump back down the black hole and go back to 1995 when things made more sense than they did now and Luke could be hers again; and not a distant love that could never materialize in the present.Β 
Julie, miraculously, holds herself back. But watching Luke’s hands flinch at the sight of her crying doesn’t make things easier.Β 
β€œPlease don’t cry.” His voice is a whisper but the words hit with a force that almost buckles her knees. β€œJulie, please, take a deep breath.”
She takes in a breath that makes her lungs expand into her ribs. β€œI’m happy,” she lies through her teeth as she breathes out slowly. β€œI’m happy. We’re happy.”
β€œGood.” 
Tears are running down his face. She recalls a time where it was easy for her to hold his face and swipe under his eyes with her thumbs until there were no more tears for her to kiss away.Β 
In unison, they clear their throats and shift their eyes. The air changes; they know they’re in a public place again, and Luke is an adult musician, and he’s with a fan. He holds his hand up, the one that has the book, and shakes it a little back and forth.Β 
β€œFlynn said you wanted this signed?”
A watery smile blooms on her face in spite of the bitter moment. β€œYeah,” she nods. β€œThought it could be another memento.”
To put emphasis on the idea, she lifts up onto her tiptoes and tilts her voice up. Make it a more positive moment. Don’t dwell. Stop crying.Β 
You can’t change things now.Β 
Luke pops the cap off with his teeth, and toys around with it in his mouth like it’s one of his marked-up guitar picks as he holds the book open and scribbles something (probably illegible) on the inside of the front cover.Β 
Then, once he’s done there, he starts flipping the pages around like he knows where every detail of the story is and marks up certain pages with… Something. She doesn’t know. After he’s made his wanted notes, he writes something out on the last page before firmly shutting it and returning it to her possession.Β 
β€œThank you,” she smiles simply as she pulls the book from his hands and carefully assures that their hands don’t overlap. If she touches him, she falls apart.Β 
Luke hums in response.Β 
Stupidly, Julie decides that moment to open up the book and see what he wrote while he’s standing right in front of her. But she isn’t thinking about him, or looking at him -- she’s looking at the inside cover.Β 
We were always meant to find each other. Don’t forget that - please.Β 
Yours,
Luke
When a tear drops on the page, she quickly turns farther into the book because she doesn’t want her feelings to ruin his beautiful, even if messy, words. These words are all she’ll have after today.Β 
The few pages in the book that he made notes on were just little things that she never knew she needed to hear.Β 
The chapter about his first sold out stadium show? Thought of you the whole time
When he heard he was nominated for a Grammy? Wanted to call you first
The night he won his first Grammy? Almost thanked you in my speech
The last page he wrote on was the Acknowledgements page. Unsurprisingly, it wasn’t that long. Luke kept a core circle of people and that was that. But below that short list, in bold, black letters:
To Julie Molina, who sacrificed everything so that I could be able to tell these stories. I wish she could have been a part of them.Β 
Her tears slip from her face so clear and quickly that she’s surprised her tear ducts are generating such a mass amount. The words replay in her head, in Luke’s voice, over and over. The affirmation that he wanted her with him all this time.Β 
But she had to go again. This had to be a one-time thing. This hurt too much for her to put either of them through it again, and besides -- now she had closure in his own writing; with her tears notarizing each word.Β 
β€œIt’s time, Julie,” she mutters to herself. β€œIt’s time.”
To say goodbye. Again.Β 
But Luke never answers. It’s dead silent, even though cars should be racing on the road behind them. When she looks up, Luke is frozen to the spot. Everything is, except her.Β 
β€œTime is a funny thing isn’t it? Just when you think you have a handle on it, it manages to surprise you.” 
It’s Willie, but not actually Willie. The one who was giving her the clues and trying to lead her in directions all over 1995; the one who she hasn’t seen in a really, really long time. For a moment, she doesn’t believe it.Β 
But he tells her that fate is in her hands. This is her choice. And despite the doubt that lingers uneasily in her chest, she can’t help but be desperate for this to be real.Β 
β€œWhy not you? Who better than Julie Molina? Teenage girl with a good heart and music in her soul. Braver than most. Why not you?” 
Julie jumped across time to save her boys, and now she is willing to make the trip again if it means there’s a chance of saving them all.Β 
But there’s one more thing she wants to do. Just before everything either is perfect again or goes to complete shit.Β 
Spinning away from Willie, she takes a second glance at Luke’s still frame and softens her face into a smile. He had been looking down at her while she was reading his notes with tears in his eyes and a sad grin on his face.Β 
No one is looking or judging anymore -- so she stands on her toes and throws her arms around his neck, squeezing him close even if he can’t hug her back. She’s been dying to do this since she saw him in the bookstore.Β 
And it feels like coming home.Β 
β€œI’ll find you again,” she whispers into his ear that probably isn’t listening. β€œI promise.”
And without any more hesitation, she turns back to Willie with her chin up and shoulders back.Β 
β€œWhat do I have to do?”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The book never finds its way back to her the way that the bear does or the way that the ring does.Β 
But that’s okay, because the bookstore does, and she’s with Luke when she registers that they are walking by the bookstore on their way to meet everyone at one of their favorite diners.Β 
By now, Luke had been told everything. She felt herself starting to fall in love with this third Luke just as she had all the others, but could never tell if he was falling back in love with her. Julie found herself -- while this timeline was infinitely better than the old one -- pining for Luke to come back to her and love her like he did in two other lifetimes.Β 
Their hands were brushing each other’s on the sidewalk when the bookstore sign met her eyes.Β 
β€œJules?” 
Her feet are glued to the cement; her eyes are glued to the alleyway. Luke approaches behind her and lays a hesitant hand on her shoulder.Β 
β€œJules, are you- Is everything okay?”
β€œCan we take a detour, really quick?”
And suddenly, he’s letting her lace her fingers through his and pull him through traffic -- no crosswalk in sight -- across the street to stand in front of a bookstore that has zero meaning to him whatsoever. Julie selfishly revels in his calluses rubbing her knuckles and doesn’t make a move to let go unless he will.Β 
He doesn’t. At least, until they hit the alleyway.
β€œJulie, what is this place? Why are we out here? Is this… Did I like it here, or something?”
They never spoke much about the Luke’s of other timelines. Julie quickly caught onto the fact that he got uncomfortable when she talked about guys with his name and face that he knew virtually nothing about even though he felt pressured to know everything.Β 
But he dealt with her when she had moments like these. She never thanked him properly for it.
β€œIt wasn’t like that,” she shakes her head, β€œwe were here in the other 2020. The one where you were older, and this huge Grammy-winning solo musician. The one that was a result of what I did in 1995.”
The exit door is still rusty on the hinges. The brick is the same shade of red, and-
β€œOkay… And? What did you guys do?”
His use of third person is a clear message. β€œHim and I had made this promise in β€˜95 that we wouldn't find each other, right?” β€œBecause he would be old.”
β€œYeah. But he published this book and had a whole signing tour called Find Me, and Flynn told me we should go, and… Basically, I had a mental breakdown at seeing him, and then he came back here and signed the book for me, and we talked, and-”
Her voice cracks. Her eyes feel wet.Β 
Fuck.Β 
Can’t she make it one timeline without sobbing in an alleyway?
A familiar hand rubs up and down her back as she stares, firmly, at the spot where her and Luke were so vividly standing and talking and pining for the other.Β 
β€œJules, hey, look at me.” 
Because it’s Luke -- because it’s her Luke -- she listens to him, and rotates to face him. The soft fabric of his shirt hits her cheeks as he presses his fingers into the cotton and lifts his hand to wipe the tears from her face in a gesture that tempts her to cry more. Instead, she tries to laugh it off. β€œGod, I really need to stop having meltdowns in alleyways, huh?” He stays quiet; looking at her in a recognizable Luke way that reminds her of all of their loving times in other lives. But she can’t get her hopes up. β€œI’m sorry. I know you don’t like when I talk about it. Sometimes I just-”
β€œYou need to,” he nods. β€œI get it.”
Her feet are planted identically where they were in alternate-2020. But Luke is in a different spot, because this is a new Luke. One that’s right in front of her, lightly holding her arms; not one that’s a few feet out of reach.Β 
β€œHe told me that we would always find each other.” Her voice is watered down, and quiet, but Luke is close enough to hear it.Β 
β€œWell, he was right, wasn’t he? We did it. For like, the fourth time, according to you.”
And then, she’s hit with a Luke Patterson smile. She sees it all of the time now but it never gets old because he’s young, and he’s happy, and he’s here.Β 
Her lips turn up to reflect it, and in a shocking turn of events: Luke instigates the hug.Β 
They are nearly best friends, so they’ve hugged before. But this one is different.Β 
His arms fold around her shoulders and tug her close and snug into his chest so that his chin is nearly resting on her hair. This leaves her able to press him close to her with her arms wrapped tightly and lovingly around his waist -- almost, dare she say it, like he was a teddy bear.Β 
β€œI never said I’m sorry,” he murmurs into her forehead. β€œOr thank you, for that matter.” β€œFor what?” β€œI’m sorry you went through so much for me. For us. It still affects you a lot and I’m sorry you have to carry that alone.” His chest rises and falls under her cheek as he takes a deep breath, and she doesn’t think she’ll ever get tired of feeling him breathe or hearing his heartbeat. β€œAnd thank you for loving us enough to do it. You sacrificed a lot.”
She is too choked up to verbally comment -- but she squeezes him tighter, almost tempting her arms to swish through him.Β 
They don’t.Β 
And Luke continues talking after a moment of a peaceful silence. β€œIt’s kind of cool, though, for me to think about this person I have in the universe. You know? The whole thing with us finding each other. I always have you, no matter where I am. You’ll be out there.”
β€œAlways,” she sighs into his chest, because she can’t help it. It took them a few tries, but here they are: In the same timeline, with full family and friends and lives, in a reciprocated hug.Β 
β€œAlways.” Luke repeats the word, almost feeling it out in his mouth. β€œWell, thanks for doing it again. Maybe let me do the work next time. You need a break.”
God, this Luke is always so good at making her laugh. Ghost-Luke was, too, but the other Luke’s and her were always swept up in emotionally-taxing situations for her to be laughing like she could when she was with this Luke.Β 
It was almost as if this one had practice. Maybe those other lives were kicking in.
He was her final Luke, hopefully.Β 
As she props her chin up on his chest, she gives him the widest grin she’s worn all day. β€œI would appreciate that. Just don’t take too long.” Her forehead nuzzles itself into his neck as she settles herself back into his arms; fully content to be wrapped up in him for as long as he will let her stay. β€œI’ll get worried.”
A soothing hand over her hair is all the confirmation she needs.Β 
β€œDon’t worry, Boss. I’ll be there.”

If you have a million ideas you want me to write, create a million requests I really don’t mind. Not to mention if you want a request for another anime, go for it! If I don’t write for that anime I will tell you. You’ll have the most luck with these to name a fewΒ

~Haikyu!Β 
~Blue Exorcist
To name a few. If you want to ask about another feel free to ask me! Today’s request reads like this.Β 
Hi! Its me @megustaitachi again lol. I LOVED the request I asked you a few days ago, you wrote it SO SOFT AHH PRECIOUSπŸ˜­πŸ’“. I want to ask you a question, if you don't mind I'll be here making request of my favs characters hehe, is there's a name we can call you? Obviously if you feel comfortable, I would like to know, thanks! *Now the real request* Can I request an scenario or a series*if u want* when Pro Hero Tamaki and his Pro Hero s/o have a fight and the next day y/n have a fight with a villain and they fell like in coma and Tamaki is sad because they didn't apologize for the fight but then y/n wakes up and they apologized and end up cuddling. <3 *yes, I love angst that ends in cuddles βŠ‚(γƒ»οΉγƒ»βŠ‚)* Thanks! <3
<3 I said it last time and I'll say it again, I LOVE YOUR WORK KWHWOWπŸ’“πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
Thank you, thank you so much for this request! It’s so angsty ah my poor bby tama. Also you can call me Sokki! Sok, Milky, are a few of my nicknames too so I don’t mind if you call me those either.Β 
I’m thinking I might make part two of this but I am not sure either. If you want one tell me though!
I love love love LOVE you guys and please please remember to take care of yourselves, be kind to yourself and treat yo self! You are worth it all, don’t ever forget how special and important you are! Now I don’t want to keep you waiting for too long, I hope this meets your expectations. Enjoy!
Part TwoΒ 
β€œYou shouldn’t have done that!” 
You sat on the couch, your head in your hands as Tamaki frantically paced in front of you. You knew he was just upset, just worried, but there was no way you could’ve predicted the villain’s next move. You didn’t know that moving to the spot that you did would put you in danger.Β 
β€œTamaki I know I messed up! Let it go!” you finally shouted back. Your head rising from your hands. Tamaki stopped pacing and turned to look at you.Β 
β€œLet it go?” he asked, his voice rising. β€œYou nearly got yourself killed, like you were trying to hurt yourself.” he said, his voice shaky. He hated arguing with you. He hated it so much. He wanted to sit down and cuddle you, forget this ever happened but you could’ve gotten hurt!Β 
β€œOh I wanted to get hurt?” you said back in frustration, becoming a bit outraged. Tamaki nodded as both of your phones rang. You answered with a frustrated sigh.Β 
Another villain was on the loose and they needed the two of you.Β 
Being a pro hero dating a pro hero was hard, but being a pro hero fighting your pro hero significant other and then having to fight with them is different. You sighed, turning to Tamaki heading towards the door. He followed behind you.Β 
β€œAre you gonna hurt yourself again this time?” he asked, annoyed slightly. You ran out in front of him, Tamaki following behind as you ran to the crime scene. β€œWatch out I just might, then you won’t have such an incompetent partner huh Tama?” you said sarcastically. Tamaki sighed.Β 
β€œWouldn’t that be nice” he murmured to himself. You almost stopped running and he could feel the regret sink in about what he said. You turned to him, opening your mouth to say something, but you ended up just shaking your head and continuing to run to the crime scene.
~~~
All you hear was Tamaki shouting out to you, β€œBunny watch out!” as you shielded an innocent bystander before you were engulfed in a ball of blue flame, the fire exploded into a terrible blue explosion.Β 
Your world went dark and you felt like you were in a void. You could feel rustling beneath you, you saved someone’s life, but at what cost? You fell back, feeling your back hit the paved road. Your eyes couldn’t open, they were closed. Your mouth, your lungs, gasping for air as you felt yourself slip. You heard voices,Β 
β€˜Bunny! Bunny!’ 
You could faintly feel something on your shoulders. But then it all faded, diminishing into darkness.Β 
~~~
Tamaki wandered the streets a bouquet of roses in his hand. Today was supposed to be your anniversary together. He walked, the rain beginning to lightly dribble down, his tears falling down his cheeks. He missed you, dearly, and he couldn’t get those horrible things he said to you out of his head.
2 months passed by now and Tamaki was doing mediocre hero work. Every day he’d look at your costume and hold it close to him, crying alone in your lonely apartment. The apartment the two of you shared.Β 
He wanted everything of yourself. He kept it around the house, sometimes he’d go through your clothes, trying to see if any scent of you still lingered behind. He'd eat your favorite snacks and watch the shows and movies you’d like. Your apartment walls were covered in pictures of you, your Pro Hero merch was everywhere. Anyone would think he’d be a crazed super fan but he was just in pain. He wanted nothing more than to hold you and apologize over and over again.Β 
But he couldn’t.Β 
His alarm went off on his phone and he quickly grabbed his jacket and threw on his shoes, rushing out of the apartment.
~~~
β€œWelcome back Tamaki.” the brown haired lady said. She clicked her fingers along her keyboard as she sat behind the desk of the hospital. β€œYou know the way, and you’re here just on time. Visiting hours have started so go on ahead.” she said, giving him a small smile.Β 
Tamaki nodded and made his way through the hospital to the ICU.Β 
He made his way to your room, opening the door. You were hooked up to dozens of machines and monitors, many lines moving into your arms and chest. Tamaki was here every day he could be, but it didn’t get any easier. He realized he forgot the roses at home but it didn’t matter much. He pulled up a seat, sitting beside you like he normally did.Β 
He rubbed your forehead and cheeks gently, tears rolling down his eyes. He felt the emotions bubble in him all over again and his head plopped down on your chest, his hands beside his head. He sobbed uncontrollably. His body shook as the blankets muffled his cries. The room had been changed for you, what with all of the plush blankets, soft pillows, plushies, and clothes he brought here for you. He brought you a switch even though you couldn’t play it. He bought a mini fridge and snack basket so he could fill them when you woke up.Β 
But you weren’t waking up.Β 
The pain in him was almost unbearable. His muffled apologies filled the otherwise quiet room. He couldn’t help it, not able to ever hold it in when he was next to you.Β 
But then he stopped.Β 
He could only feel it slightly but he sat up, his eyes going wide as he stared right into yours. He was frozen in place, was he dreaming? Your beautiful eyes were staring back at him. Tamaki remembered what the doctors told him what would’ve happened when you woke up. You’d be confused, not sure who he was or what was going on. Tamaki quickly rushed up and hit the button requesting a doctor. He sat back next to you holding your hand.Β 
Your finger moved again.Β 
You were back to him, and he wouldn’t let you go again.Β 
To be continued...

Hey!! I was wondering, can you do a Loki x female teen borrower story where the borrower is caught by Loki and starts crying and then Loki feels real bad about making the tiny cry so he tries to make it up to her?? And in the beginning there could be a little fear playπŸ‘πŸ», which is why the borrower starts crying.
I love your stories btw!! They’re so good!!πŸ’—πŸ’—
fsjfsajfd thank u omg πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί sorry this took a while i’ve had a busy last couple weeks lol but here ya go :)
---------------------------------------------------
You thought they were all gone.
You could have swornΒ you counted them all. Red suit, shield guy, bow and arrows, woman in black, guy with a hammer, the green monster. You had counted six. There were only six of them.
Six of them that you knew of, anyway.
See, there was a seventh. A seventh that you never saw, and that was by design. He was kept on the down low so his brother could try to reform him; teach him the ways of good and teach him to help the city, not destroy it. As a gesture of goodwill on his part, he let his brother roam free around the tower while they were all out on a mission. Building trust was essential.
But you didn’t know this. You assumed you were free to replenish your supplies, like you did every time they all went out. So you slid open the piece of tile from the ceiling you had cut off, dropped your rope down and gently landed on the kitchen counter. With two bags slung over your shoulder, you were excited for today’s haul.
You would soon be interrupted.
Loki had sensed something was off almost immediately. It didn’t take a genius to see that there was a thin rope dangling from the ceiling that wasn’t there before. He normally wouldn’t touch the kitchen, but now that he was alone, he was wont to wander off.
He saw you scampering across the counter, heading straight for the bread.Β β€œWhat in the nine realms...” he whispered, careful to keep his voice low. A tiny person. He had certainly heard the tales, but he had never seen such a thing with his own eyes, and the last place he expected to see one was on Earth.
A mischievous smile spread across his face.
Tip-toeing ever so lightly, he made his way over to the counter where you were just reaching the wrapped up loaf of bread. You didn’t even realize someone was there.
β€œNow, what do you think you’re doing, little one?”
You nearly fainted right then and there. No, you thought. No no no no no... I have to be hearing things...Β 
You were frozen to your spot, but you managed to turn your head around enough to see the giant hovering over you with an evil grin. You dropped both your bags.
β€œOh, don’t let me stop you,” the giant teased.Β β€œAfternoon snack, is it?” He reached over you, delighting in the way you twitched when his hand got close, and grabbed the bag of bread. You looked at it with tearful eyes.
β€œThis isn’t yours, you know,” Loki tutted. He tossed the bread onto the table.Β β€œAnd the kitchen is no place for a creature such as yourself.”
β€œPlease-- please, NO!” you cried as Loki’s hands descended down. You weren’t poised to run away, so you shut her eyes tight and clenched your jaw as Loki pinched your waist and pulled you up.
β€œYou can’t be older than a teenager!” Loki gasped, feigning sorrow as he held you in front of his face. You were writhing. Loki hummed.
β€œOh, I don’t think you’ll be making a daring escape, borrower,” he smiled.Β β€œYou’re mine now.”
β€œLET ME GO! PLEASE!” you shouted, but Loki ignored you. Back in Asgard, catching a little one like this came with great honor. Loki almost scoffed at how easy it was to capture you.
But something was beginning to eat at him as he brought you back to his room. He had never really planned on catching a kid.
Once you were safely to Loki’s quarters, he opened up the palm that was holding you. You were trembling and holding yourself tight while tears streamed down your face.Β 
β€œNo... no...” you kept repeating.Β β€œNo, this isn’t real, this isn’t real...”
β€œLook at me, borrower,” Loki instructed. You just shook your head. You were too scared to move. You yelped, though, when Loki grabbed the back of your shirt and yanked you up into the air.
β€œWhen I saw look at me, you look,” Loki sneered. You cowered from his words, your tiny legs flailing about as you tried to wriggle free of Loki’s grasp.
β€œYou should be relieved,” Loki said lowly. You whimpered.Β β€œI saved you from an awful accident. If any one of those AvengersΒ had found you, you would be fully dissected by now.”
β€œPlease...” you said again, your voice scratchy.Β β€œPlease -- please don’t -- don’t hurt me...”
β€œOh, I won’t hurt you,” Loki said.Β β€œSee, that is why you’re lucky. I don’t hurt creatures who are too weak to defend themselves.”
Creature. You couldn’t getΒ over how he kept calling you that. You were just a tiny little thing that he could do whatever he wanted with. You knew he was lying. You weren’t safe here at all.
β€œIn the natural order of things, I rank above all,” Loki continued,Β β€œso when I say look at me, you. Look.”
Your whole body was suddenly whipped to the side as he roughly twisted his hand so you would be facing him. Your entire body was shaking from the pure fear of Loki’s entire face engulfing your field of vision.
And that was the last straw.Β 
You sobbed. You sobbed and sobbed and sobbed and just when you thought you would run out of tears, more appeared. The realization that you would be kept in captivity for the rest of your life hit you like a ton of bricks. You were going to be his pet. You would never get a chance to be free again.
At this display, Loki softly gasped. He hadn’t actually expected you to break down as much as you were. Without thinking, he lowered you back into his palm and gently brought his hand up. This time, he made sure not to loom.
β€œLittle one...” he sighed.Β β€œYou don’t have to be afraid. I won’t hurt you.”
You didn’t look at him.
β€œI... I’m sorry,” he managed, hoping that would get you to stop. You were still crying, but you finally tilted her head up at him in confusion. Did he just... apologize?
β€œI was only teasing,” he tried. It was hard for him to sound sincere.Β β€œI am not going to hurt you. I only meant to have some fun.”
Your tears slowed down until you were left sitting in a puddle in Loki’s hand, sniffling and wiping your puffy red eyes.
β€œWhat is your name, little one?”
You whimpered and shook your head.Β 
β€œOkay... that’s fine.” He stared at your tiny, shaking form.Β β€œI am Loki,” he finally said.Β β€œI’m stuck here in this tower, just like you.”
You huffed. You were notΒ alike.
β€œAt least you have the freedom to roam where you please. I am not allowed to step foot outside the doors of this wretched place.”
At this, you looked up.Β β€œReally?” you asked, voice raspy and impossibly small.
β€œOh, yes. My oafish brother won’t allow it. And unfortunately, on this pathetic little rock, he’s in command. So now that I told you my name, won’t you tell me yours?”
Your eyes darted back and forth. Should you say? He could just be trying to get you to let your guard down. But there was something so sincere about the way he was asking. You could feel it.
β€œI’m... I’m (y/n),” you said so quietly that Loki almost didn’t hear.Β β€œ(Y/n). And I’m stuck here too.”
Loki smiled.Β β€œOh?”
β€œYeah. I’ve been here since I was nine.”
β€œSince childhood? And you have never been seen?”
β€œA few times,” you shrugged.Β β€œBut nobody really knew what to do, and they never came looking for me. Except for the time that the guy with the bow and arrow thought I was a bug and tried to squash me.”
Loki felt his chest fill with rage. Clint was already his least favorite.
β€œWhere is the rest of your kind, borrower?”
You shook her head. β€œI dunno where they are. I live here by myself.”
β€œBy yourself? You have no family of your size? No lineage?”
You shrugged.Β β€œI mean, I used to have parents, but...” you trailed off.Β β€œThat was a long time ago.”
Loki blinked. He hadn’t expected this.
β€œ...why don’t you stay here with me, (y/n),” he said, trying not to sound too sympathetic. You wiped your eyes one more time.Β 
β€œStay with you?” you repeated in awe, surprised he had said your name.
β€œYes. You will be safe in here.”
You pondered his offer. If you said yes, you would be stuck with him. If you said no, though, he might get upset again... or tell one of the Avengers about you. He seemed to be lightening up a bit. You really had no other choice.
β€œOkay,” you said finally.Β β€œI’ll stay.”
β€œWonderful,” Loki said in amusement. You gasped and gripped onto the folds of his skin as he lowered his palm down to his bedside table. You immediately jumped off and landed next to a large, bright object that you didn’t recognize. You yelped and skidded back.
β€œThat’s just a clock, borrower,” Loki laughed.Β 
β€œA clock... I know that,” you lied. Something else caught your eye.Β β€œWhat... what is this?”
β€œI believe humans call it anΒ β€˜eye phone,’ though I don't understand where the eye part comes in.”
You giggled.Β β€œI don’t either.” With your new vantage point, you could suddenly see a world of new objects. Loki watched with a smirk at your sense of wonder.
β€œWhat’s that again?” you asked, pointing to a flat, black screen across the room.
β€œThat’s a television. It’s how humans entertain themselves.” Loki paused.Β β€œWould you... like to see how it works?”
You eagerly nodded. Loki waved his hand, and the TV flickered to life.Β 
β€œI don’t understand how humans can stomach this garbage,” Loki complained.Β β€œI mean, look at this. She’s taming a dragon like that?!Β You would never approach a female dragon from the front, unless you want to be killed.” Loki stole a glance down at you. You were staring wide-eyed at the TV. So thisΒ is what it looked like.
Without warning, Loki carefully reached down and scooped you up from the table. Your heart leapt up to your throat, but your nerves calmed when Loki swung his feet onto his bed and stretched out. From your new vantage point, you were sitting in Loki’s hand, which was resting on his chest, which had a direct view to the TV.
β€œIs this alright?” Loki asked, straining his eyes to look down. You nodded, too awestruck to say anything as you tucked your knees to your chest and settled in.
As the show progressed, you became decidedly less interested in what was going on. It had been an emotionally taxing period of time, and you were tired. You slowly unfurled your legs and leaned back into the curves of Loki’s fingers, mimicking his own relaxed position. You could barely keep your eyes open. The thumping of his heart was like a low and steady drum marching you off to a quiet and happy place.
Loki’s fingers twitched at every movement you made. Eventually, he realized you had stopped moving and that your hair had settled into a single spot. He peered down. You were fast asleep, your tiny chest rising and falling to the slow beat of his heart.
Loki couldn’t stop staring at you. He didn’t quite understand why he felt this way, but he knew what he had to do.Β 
From this day forth, he would be your protector.

U N P L A N N E D, part two
β€œHi, uh, Y/N? It’s Harry.”
You shut the bathroom door behind you like you had a few days earlier. This time, at least, you knew what you were getting yourself into.Β 
β€œHey, hi, how are you?”
β€œI’m good--how are you?”
You took a breath, one that might have been too obvious. β€œI’m good. I’m sorry to just--ramble on your voicemail. I just, you know, hadn’t heard from you.”
Did you expect to? No. Maybe. You didn’t know. You felt stupid and embarrassed that the words had tumbled out of your mouth.
β€œYeah--I know, m’sorry about that. I actually, uh, got sick actually after I saw you last, so I was out of commission for a minute. Been busy but, yeah, I’d love to see you if you’re around.”
β€œI am, yeah, I’m around.”
Thank god--the last thing you needed was for him to let you down easy, be too nice to say that he didn’t have any interest in seeing you again. You’d prepared for that somewhat, worried that you were just another girl he’d slept with some random night, meaningless and casual.Β 
Maybe it was that--maybe he thought that buying you a nice dinner one night would be enough to put this in the past. A pang of guilt when you realized that might never be possible.
You didn’t wait for him to offer a time or date. β€œAre you around this weekend?”
β€œUh, yeah, I am.”
β€œOkay.”
β€œI don’t mean this in a presumptuous way, but, do you want to come to mine? I know that’s not, like, a date--but, it can be nicer to do something quiet, sometimes.”
You knew what he meant--you knew enough from Glenne to know that if he was seen out in public with you there’d be all sorts of whispers about what it was and what it meant. You didn’t tell him, but you figured somewhere private was a better place to have the conversation you had to have.
β€œYeah, that’s fine. Uh, tomorrow? Sunday?”
β€œTomorrow’s good--if that works.”
β€œSure,” he said. β€œI can text you my address. Do you want to say around seven?”
β€œSure. Yeah, okay. I’ll see you then.”
β€œYeah, looking forward to it, Y/N, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
You hung up, wiped at the sweat that had formed on your forehead, and stared in the mirror. It wasn’t terrible. It was awkward, sure, but he didn’t say no and he didn’t seem to think you were crazy or weird or totally out of line asking to see him again.Β 
You composed a message to Lexi and Glenne.Β 
Y/N L/N (2:31pm): I’m seeing him tomorrow.Β 
Glenne Christiaansen (2:34pm): Thank god. I seriously felt like Jeff could tell something was up this morning.Β 
Y/N L/N (2:35pm): Well don’t be weird with him!
Lexi MacMillan (2:37pm): Glenne if you fuck anything up so help me god.Β 
Glenne Christiaansen (2:39pm): I’m not going to! I’m a bad liar so I would appreciate it if we could get this out in the open asap.Β 
Lexi MacMillan (2:39pm): Glenne...not really about you πŸ™„Β 
Glenne Christiaansen (2:39pm): I’m not trying to rush you, I just feel bad knowing!
Y/N L/N (2:40pm): I know. I’m telling him tomorrow.Β 
Y/N L/N (2:41pm): He said I could come to his house. So, we’ll see. I’ll keep you updated.
**
It wasn’t as far of a drive as you remembered. Maybe the high levels of cortisol coursing through you sped things up, or maybe it was the adrenaline of having just hung up with your mom.Β 
She knew something was up--she always knew. She called you in the morning and you couldn’t do it, you pretended all was fine and you told her that you were about to head to the grocery store. She didn’t really buy it but she let you go.Β 
And when you got in the car around 6:15 and found yourself with enough traffic on Santa Monica Boulevard, the guilt started to creep in again. So you dialed her number, put the phone on speaker, and made her promise to not freak out.Β 
She’d always been the type of mom who could keep a straight face--one who played it cool even when you told her you got detention or pricey parking ticket. She raised you by herself after she split with your dad, a guy who lived somewhere outside of Las Vegas with a new wife and a new daughter.Β 
She was quiet when you said it. A few seconds ticked by before she spoke. Are you sure? You took a test? Who’s the father?
You know my friend Glenne? You know how her boyfriend is also in the music business?Β 
She couldn’t believe it at first--a name she’d heard a few times on TV or even from you. She asked the inevitable: what are you going to do?
You told her you didn’t know. You swore you’d think it all through and keep her updated, talked her down and convinced her she didn’t need to drive down to LA from the sleepy town of Santa Paula, where you grew up on bicycles and with books in your small bedroom, reaching for a future that was always bigger than your small town.Β 
So sure, maybe you had a plan. As a kid you always thought about being an adult--the steps in the following order: college, job, husband, promotion, kids. Scattered in between there was the possibility of a pet, maybe even relocating outside of the city--a house with a pool, for sure.Β 
None of it included an unplanned pregnancy fathered by someone like him. It hadn’t ever crossed your mind.Β 
You cried a bit more after you hung up--your mom reminded you that you didn’t have to keep a brave face for her, but after all this time, you were used to it.Β 
So at least, when you pressed the button on the gate that somehow paged him inside, you felt a bit more confident about your ability to spit out the words without throwing up or crying. That was a win.Β 
β€œHey--it should open now,” his voice was muffled through the speaker, the gate started to hum before it separated, revealing a white house tucked in the hills, a smooth driveway and a view of the city.Β 
He greeted you at the front door, a smile on his face when you lifted your sunglasses.Β 
β€œHi,” he said. β€œFind your way okay?”
β€œYeah,” you said, a nod. β€œIt vaguely felt familiar, I definitely remember drunkenly looking out the windows on the ride home.”
He laughed--apparently comfortable enough to skip over the whole awkward we slept together phase. He stepped aside and held the door open, allowing you to step into the main foyer.Β 
That’s when it came back--laughing as you followed him up the stairs and down the hall, a drink in your hand. The view is priceless, he said. He showed you his bedroom, the twinkly lights of Los Angeles looked like snowflakes when you blurred your eyes, he joked that maybe you both drank too much.Β 
You sat beside him on the bed, told him about the time Glenne came to visit in college and you realized that there was someone who could put Lexi in her place.Β 
Before you knew it his hands were on your skin, your fingers fumbling with the button of his pants. You told him he didn’t have to, insecurity washed through you when you realized this type of event was probably usually reserved for models or actresses. Shouldn’t it be Lexi in your place? Someone taller and thinner and prettier and richer?
β€œI’d give you a tour,” he said, pulling you back to the present, β€œbut you’ve already seen it.”
You held back a smile. β€œI remember it all from, you know, sneaking out in the middle of the night.”
β€œRight, very rude of you, really,” he smiled, crossed his arms over his chest. An awkward pause. β€œI would have reached out, but, I dunno--I guess I thought you didn’t want me to since you left.”
You opened your mouth to speak but then licked your lips. β€œNo--I was just, I didn’t want to impose.”
β€œWell, you missed what would have been a delicious breakfast.”
Quiet for a second, you were glad he was playful, friendly, flirty, even. You knew you were about to kill any sort of mood there might be.Β 
β€œListen--uh, I actually have something to tell you.”
He tilted his head to the side, a curious smile on his face, just like when you told Glenne. He watched you, dimpled cheeks, as if you were about to admit you’d been thinking about him, wishing he’d call, hoping to see him again.Β 
For a second you wondered if it was the right move, telling him at all. Maybe it wasn’t his problem. Maybe he’d hate you and be angry or maybe he’d think you did it on purpose, a claim to fame or a 401k cash in. Maybe you were better off navigating the waters of motherhood alone. Alternatively, maybe you took the other path. Easier for everyone, right?
But he looked too curious, too innocent, too pure. He noticed the emotion on your face, the water that had pooled in your eyes. His expression changed, furrowed brows and a twitch in his lips before you spit it out.Β 
β€œI’m pregnant.”
Again. Quiet--the typical response at this point. Something you were used to. You could see a plane in the distance, on final approach to LAX. Somewhere in the world there were people laughing and hugging and somewhere there were scenes much happier than this one.Β 
β€œUh--I--,” he shook his head, blinked a few times, almost like he didn’t quite understand. β€œBecause of us?”
A nod. You didn’t feel like divulging the same information about how there was no other possibility, especially to someone like him--someone who was surely much more sexually active than you were.Β 
β€œYou’re sure?”
Another nod. You reached into your purse and pulled out the papers you had printed that afternoon. The results from Dr. Weston’s office. Numbers and words you didn’t really understand. β€œHere--I, uh, I have these.”
He blinked again, took them in his hands and looked down at them. He licked his lips and then rubbed at his neck. β€œWhat’s all this mean?”
β€œIt’s just the test results. I did two myself, you know, the pee on a stick ones. Then a urine sample at the doctor and a blood test, too. Four positive results.”
He was quiet, the lack of noise and words seemed to spike emotion in you, more water in your eyes became tears on your cheeks. He still stared at the paper.Β 
A part of you wanted to turn around, leave, drive back to your house and climb into bed. Maybe then it would feel like none of this was happening. But you were frozen, feet stuck on the floor in his foyer, staring at the stubble on his chin and the necklace that hung around his neck.
A shaky breath. β€œI’m sorry--I was--we used a condom, I don’t know how it happened.”
He looked up at you quickly, the rawness of your voice and cracks between words seemed to grab his attention. β€œWill you, uh, take a test in front of me?”
That made you stop crying really quick. β€œW-what?” A sniffle when you wiped at your face.Β 
β€œIt’s just, to be sure. I don’t--sometimes people do this to people like me, and--” 
β€œAre you insinuating that I’m--” you looked around, not even sure what to call it. β€œMaking this up?”
β€œIt’s not you--I would ask that of anyone.”
Your lips parted, you stared past his shoulder and into the living room.Β 
Let me give you a tour, he’d said, dimples on his cheeks when he looked down at you that night. Sat on the edge of the couch, he stood above you, handed Lexi another drink before he introduced himself.Β 
We’ve already met, you teased. You recounted your first meeting, jogged his memory by describing the dress you wore, the restaurant you went to. It had been six months earlier. I’m Y/N, you said. Your name brought it all back for him.
Back in the room, he shifted his weight on his feet. You thought on it for a second. You’d expected him to be shocked and surprised--even angry or disinterested would have been understandable. You didn’t, for a second, think that he might not believe you.Β 
It made sense, as much as you hated to admit it. You were sure that somewhere out there was a person who would make this type of thing up--news outlets covered stories like that all the time.Β 
But this--the upheaval of everything you’d come to know--you wished you were making it up. You weren’t someone he met in some hotel bar with something to gain. You were a friend of a friend, wrong place, wrong time.Β 
β€œLook--someone will make us do that anyway. Jeff or someone would insist that I have more proof. And I can’t just tell them I took your word for it.”
Another reminder of the distance between you. The fact that Harry drove a Tesla and you had a Honda. The fact that now they were his friends and you were the outsider--the one screwing it all up. And now your friends had to choose sides, and apparently, Jeff was already on Harry’s before he even knew about it.Β 
β€œI mean--fine, I can show you the two I already took. I’ll take another, and you can see it, if you want.” 
He nodded. β€œYeah, m’sorry, that’s just probably for the best.”
He offered to drive--promised your car would be safe in his driveway until you could come back for it. So you endured the nearly forty minute drive back to your house in quasi-silence, save for the voices from the radio that didn’t break the tension.Β 
He asked about work, you pretended to be interested in the upcoming release of his music. But the long pauses and sideways glances made it feel like you both knew the questions were obligatory and forced and surface, a lazy attempt at ignoring the obvious.
You pointed out a spot for him to park near the sidewalk, beneath the willow tree across the street that always left pollen on your windshield. He followed you across the road, up to the front door in your snug residential neighborhood.Β 
β€œHi,” you called into the living room, knowing that Lexi had the day off from filming. With your luck at this point, she’d probably be naked (or halfway there) in the kitchen. High as a kite or asleep on the couch.Β 
β€œHey! How’d it--oh.”
She appeared from her bedroom, eyes wide when she took in the sight of Harry trailing behind you. You ignored the flush on his cheeks and the shy smile he threw in her direction.Β 
It must have hit him--Lexi knew. Lexi--who Harry had known for at least three or four years now--offered a wave in his direction and tried to play it cool.Β 
β€œHi Lexi.”
β€œHe wants me to pee on a stick again,” you said flatly.Β 
She pulled her head back, a smirk on her face when she turned to Harry. β€œReally?”
He let out a sigh and shrugged his shoulders. β€œDo you want to know what could happen if I believed every woman who’s ever said that to me?”
β€œThere’s been multiple?” Lexi looked at him like he was crazy.
β€œWell--like, two. But they were both absolutely mental.”
You walked into the bathroom and knelt down, digging through the cabinet below the sink for another test. After you took the first you bought another box--two inside.Β 
You grabbed it and stood, going to shut the door. β€œWell, I’ll be back.”
β€œWait,” he said, shoving his hands in the pocket of his pants. β€œCan I--uh--come in?”
Lexi’s face twisted. β€œYou wanna watch?”
β€œWell, how do I know that you’re not pregnant and she’s using your, you know, sample?”
Lexi looked over at you and raised her eyebrows, some type of this is unreal look on her face.Β 
β€œFine,” you said, defeated. β€œCome over here.”
He stepped into the bathroom beside you and offered an uncomfortable smile, squeezing by you when you shut the door. He sat on the edge of the bathtub and stared at his hands. You pulled down your pants, sat, and then waited.Β 
He looked up quickly, then back down at the floor. Then back up. β€œWell--are you gonna go?”
β€œI need a second,” you said. β€œI’m not used to peeing in front of strangers.”
β€œM’not a stranger,” he made a face as if it hurt his feelings. You weren’t about to fight with him--now didn’t seem like a good time to define the relationship. β€œHere,” he reached up to twist the faucet, a stream of water fell into the sink.Β 
That helped. You held the stick in place and capped it when you were done, placing it on the sink. You flushed and stood up as if this was all in a day’s work.
β€œNow we wait?”
You leaned forward to wash your hands. β€œDoesn’t take long--apparently I’m super pregnant.”
He let out a bit of a laugh at that, a tension breaking chuckle before he picked it up. He pushed out his lips, staring down at it as if it wasn’t as threatening as you’d always felt.Β 
β€œPlus sign,” he flipped it towards you, offering you a view.Β 
You nodded.
β€œShit.”
β€œYeah.”
He was quiet, staring at the plastic in his hands before he put it back down.
β€œI’m sorry,” you said. β€œWe used a condom.”
β€œI know.”
β€œI’m sorry.”
β€œYou don’t have to--we didn’t mean to. Aren’t you on birth control?”
You nodded. β€œI was switching to a new one around then--but my doctor said it should be just as effective,” the anxiety grew with each word, the scenarios ran through your head, what you could have done differently, if you should have left right after, cursing yourself for enjoying the sex even though it resulted in this.Β 
β€œI don’t know what to do,” you said, wiping at your cheeks to hide the evidence of the tears. You hardly knew him--crying in what suddenly felt like the world’s smallest bathroom didn’t seem like a great get to know you exercise.Β 
He seemed alarmed by the emotion again, a look of uncertainty crossed his face. β€œMe neither--I mean, I’m supposed to put out this album and then go on tour and I’ve never--”
A knock on the door, Lexi pushed it open, an inquisitive look on her face. β€œEverything okay?”
β€œNo,” you both spoke at the same time.Β 
β€œOh good,” Lexi said sarcastically to him, β€œyou’re losing your shit over it too!”
β€œS’not exactly the best timing, right now, Lexi.” He stepped past you on the white tile, slipping out of the bathroom and making his way for the living room.Β 
You followed behind him. β€œIt’s not good timing for me either, if you were wondering!”
He turned around quickly. β€œI know--I didn’t mean it like that, I just--you’ve had a few days to sit with this, right? M’just finding out now so excuse the panic.”
You took a breath, watched as he paced on the carpet and ran a hand through his hair. He stopped suddenly, looked up to Lexi.Β 
β€œDoes Glenne know?”
She looked over to you, your call, Harry did the same.Β 
β€œGreat--so Jeff knows! Is that why he hasn’t returned my phone calls?”
β€œJeff doesn’t know,” you said quickly. β€œShe promised not to tell him until I talked to you.”
β€œAnd you believed her?! She can have quite the mouth, for fuck’s sake!”
β€œShe didn’t say anything, relax,” Lexi tried to settle him, her voice more collected than yours had been all week. β€œI talked to her a while ago. She’s freaking out, too.”
He flopped down on the couch, a big sigh before he looked up at you again. β€œAre you--do you want to keep it?”
β€œI don’t know.”
He nodded, almost like he expected the answer.Β 
β€œI wanted to talk to you first.”
He nodded again, eyes still wide. β€œOkay.”
β€œCan you just breathe, with me, for a second?” You moved to sit beside him, body angled towards his so he could watch you. In and out, in and out.Β 
It already felt like you were ruining his life, the last thing you needed was for him to have a heart attack on your sofa.Β 
He settled a bit at that, another nod to reassure you that he was getting enough air. β€œSorry--I just, this is big.”
β€œI know,” you said. β€œFor me too.”
β€œYeah.”
Lexi was still stood in the center of the room, watching the scene unfold. When you looked up at her, she tilted her head. β€œI was gonna order a pizza--are you guys hungry?”
**
When Harry left the house that night he promised he’d see you the next day. Not only did you need your car, but you figured it’d be easier to actually talk some things through after a good night of sleep and some time to think.Β 
There was a part of you that wondered if he’d actually follow through--show up at your house at 10am like he said he would. Maybe he’d catch the soonest flight back to London and change his number, barring Jeff and Glenne from ever speaking to you again.Β 
The pizza was a good call on Lexi’s part. It turned out that when he had some food in him, he was remarkably less anxious. See? You’ll be fine. He’s just like a toddler! Lexi teased after he left.Β 
She sat on your bed with you that night and just listened. First you told her about the way he looked when you first said it, the blinking and the staring and the shuffling of his feet. Then about the car ride and the radio and the way you pretended that you didn’t notice how often he tried to look over at you on the freeway.Β 
You had no idea where he was at--you had no idea what he was thinking or what type of person he was. He was a stranger, really, someone who sometimes happened to run in the same circle as you and someone who now had a good reason to never want to see you again.Β 
Lexi said she was glad that he wanted to talk again in the morning, glad that he knew and agreed that it would be best for him to tell Jeff in a few days, once the two of you had more time to talk.Β 
You were glad, too.Β 
β€œI think he’s here,” she peered out the window, the Saturday sun fought its way through early morning fog.Β 
Your phone started buzzing in your hand--a call, not a text. You answered it. β€œHello?”
β€œHey--s’me. I’m outside.”
β€œOkay,” you said. β€œI’ll be right out.”
β€œDon’t be too long,” Lexi said, watching as you reached for the denim jacket on the back of the door. β€œAre we still watching SNL tonight?”
β€œYeah--yeah, we will.”
β€œOkay,” she seemed to eye you suspiciously. β€œCall me if he’s being a fucking asshole, okay?”
β€œOkay.”
She waved you out the door, watched as you climbed inside the dark black car that was parked at the end of the walkway.
β€œHi--oh, hi,” the seatbelt seemed to lurch forward on it’s own, making it easier to grab hold of once you sat down. β€œGlenne’s doesn’t do this.”
β€œS’the newer model.”
Of course it was.
β€œAre you hungry? I know you need your car, but I figured we could grab something to eat.”
You nodded, pushing sunglasses down to cover your eyes. β€œSure, yeah.”
He accelerated, the car whirred, electric, and he adjusted a few buttons in the front. β€œAre you feeling alright?”
β€œWhat do you mean?”
He stole another sideways glance in your direction. β€œLike--you’re not nauseous yet, are you?”
β€œOh--” you stopped to think about it. β€œNo. But food tastes funny--kind of metallic, almost? I don’t know if that’s related. I’m only four weeks at this point, that’s what the email from Dr. Weston said.”
β€œDr. Weston?”
β€œMy OBGYN.”
β€œRight. When did you see her?”
β€œWednesday.”
A left turn out of your neighborhood. You’d caught him up on all of that the night before. The appointment, telling your mom--he listened with wide eyes, pizza in hand.Β 
β€œWhen do you go again?”
β€œNext week. She said we can talk about options.”
β€œOh--should I, maybe, come to that?”
You hadn’t thought about that. It certainly was too early to do an ultrasound, you figured the appointment was a nice way for Dr. Weston to let you know the options for termination, if that’s what you wanted. A shift in your seat, a nervousness when you looked over at him. β€œIf you want, yeah.”
He nodded, quiet for a little as he drove. He was heading for closer to Santa Monica, you didn’t ask where and you figured it didn’t matter. Breakfast sounded nice.Β 
He eventually turned into a parking lot for a small cafe--one that you heard Jeff mention in the past--with ivy running up the outside trellis that provided some patio shade from the mid-May sun. β€œThe scones here are really good.”
You tried not to laugh. β€œScones are probably the worst breakfast pastry.”
β€œWhat?” His voice went all high as if you’d said something truly offensive. He pulled out his chair and sat, a casual outfit of athletic shorts and a sweatshirt. Sunglasses--presumably for disguise.
β€œYeah,” you said, a bored shrug. β€œToo dry. Muffins are much better.”
He didn’t reply. Instead, he looked over the menu that the hostess had dropped off, took a sip of his water before looking up at you.Β 
β€œLook, I want to just tell you I’m sorry for freaking out last night. I know this isn’t easy for you, either.”
You nodded. β€œIt’s not ideal for either of us, I guess.”
He nodded. Fumbled with the straw wrapped between his fingers. β€œWhat are your thoughts on--” he paused, seemingly uncomfortable. β€œEnding it?”
You shrugged, feeling mostly disconnected from whatever bundle of cells had implanted on your uterine lining. β€œI don’t know--it would probably be easier.”
He watched you, an unreadable look on his face. He rubbed at his lips and nodded. β€œYou don’t have to. That’s a big decision. I just didn’t know what your thoughts were--in general.”
β€œI don’t really know what they are. What are yours?”
He laughed a little. β€œI don’t know. I’ve never had to think much about it.”
The waitress appeared, a look of shock when he smiled up at her, the realization spread over her face before she scribbled down your orders.Β 
Pink on his cheeks when she left. β€œSorry.”
You smiled. β€œI’m surprised you can be in the sunlight without people following you around.”
He rolled his eyes, let out a playful sigh. β€œSome days are better than others. This spot is typically safe, though.”
The waitress came back quick with coffees--you were sure to not confuse her eagerness to be near him as prompt service.Β 
β€œSo--who have you told, again?”
β€œJust Lexi and Glenne. And my mom.”
β€œNo one else?”
β€œNo. Have you told anyone?”
He pushed the tiny boat of coffee creamer towards you. β€œNo. I just went to bed last night and tried to sleep.”
Another wave of guilt. You were sure he had better things to do than stare at the ceiling thinking about abortion or full term or the possibility that something would go wrong.
β€œThey say you’re not supposed to tell people, you know--before it’s too soon.”
β€œRight, what is it? Three months?”
β€œYeah--twelve weeks. That’s when something is likely to happen. But, look--I get it, if you can’t do this. No matter what I end up doing, I won’t be mad if you’re not able to be around.”
The words came out more quickly than you expected, as if saying them would prevent the damage from spreading. Like a bandaid, pulled off quickly, you placed the proposition on the table.Β 
He made a face at that, looked down, twisted the rings on his fingers and then sighed. β€œI wouldn’t do that--I don’t want to.”
β€œYeah, but, come on. I mean--you’re busy and this doesn’t really align with your lifestyle.”
He quirked an eyebrow, almost challenging you with a smirk. β€œAnd what do you know about my lifestyle?”
You picked up a spoon and stirred the coffee in front of you. β€œWell--I don’t know. I just, I don’t want you to feel like this means you’re, you know, trapped.”
He nodded, thinking. He licked his lips and pushed his mouth to one side. β€œI appreciate that.”
He asked where you were when you found out. You told him about the tiled floor of the bathroom at work, the way it cooled your hot skin when you were sure you’d pass out. You told him about the second test, the one you’d taken at home with Lexi, and the ice cream cone you had after you went to the doctor.Β 
He asked where you were from, said he’d never heard of Santa Paula. He told you that he had fun with you that night, said that he thought about calling you after you left, decided he didn’t want to scare you off.Β 
He drove you back to his house and pointed out the window, showing you a hiking trail nearby that he liked. He laughed when you made a joke--strapping a ten pound baby to your chest would level up any workout.
So you got your car and left, he didn’t hug you goodbye in the driveway and he said he’d call you--right after he figured out what he was going to tell his parents and his manager. You were about to the shut the door of your Honda when he jogged over to the driver’s side window.Β 
β€œWhen was that appointment again? With Dr. Westfield?”
β€œWeston,” you corrected. β€œThursday, 4pm, I think.”
He nodded, his hand over his eyes to shield them from the sun. β€œOkay--I’ll come.”

Girl I Met On The Internet, 2/? (Crystal x Gigi) - Strawberry
a/n: aaaa i’m so glad everyone liked the first chapter! i think this story will end up staying focused on gigi and crystal for the most part, but there is some (one sided) jankie in this chapter if you’re into that! also:Β just in case no one got the reference,Β the nickname crystal gives gigi, β€˜georgia rose’,comes from the 1d lyrics β€œSaid her name was georgia rose, and her daddy was a dentist” from their song β€˜best song ever’!
gigi: are u okay :( ily crystal
crystal: yeah i just got picked on by this cheerleader that doesnt like me
Technically, she wasn’t lying. Crystal didn’t think it was too bad, considering she really only ever saw Dahlia in history class, but she still made it her mission to make that 45 minutes rough for Crystal whenever possible. This time it was pushing all of Crystal’s belongings off of her desk while she was leaving.
gigi: fuck. im sorry.Β 
crystal: it’s fine dskjdshjgkjf i wish all cheerleaders could take notes from you and jan
gigi: yaaas me and jan invented being nice
gigi: but i was wondering if maybe you could teach me about one direction later tonight?
Crystal had tried to convince the group earlier in the week that One Direction was the best boy band ever, and had only managed to get Jan to agree. She was glad that Gigi had finally come to her senses.
crystal: finally changing your mind? amazayn!
gigi: i regret asking now. take that pun back to 2011!!!!
The rest of the day went as normal. The chat was pretty active, but eventually died down at the end of the school day. Everyone seemed to have plans; Jan was studying, Jaida was going out to hang with friends, Nicky was sleeping, and Heidi was starting a new challenge on the Sims. It appeared to be just her and Gigi, alone in the group chat.Β 
Crystal decided to message Gigi privately, not wanting the rest of the girls to see her go into full stan mode. If someone asked Crystal about her interests, she could go hours before thinking of stopping herself.
crystal: ok miss gigi are you ready for your 1d crash course?
Crystal told Gigi everything she wanted to know and even more. A history of how they got together, way too much information on each of the five boys, telling her the best songs on each album, and making sure that Gigi knew β€˜Midnight Memories’ was their best album.Β 
gigi: but ur @ is dedicated to made in the am?? fraud!
crystal: HELPFDFHBJ
crystal: mmcrystal sounds weird… like no thanksΒ 
gigi: that was very interesting.. i’ll def listen to midnight memories in the morning <3
crystal: YAY! gigi 1d stan finally
gigi: no promises! :)
Crystal didn’t respond to that, not really knowing what to talk about now. Having a group of friends helped her be less awkward, but it definitely didn’t fix that problem completely.Β 
gigi: do u wanna play 21 questions or something?? to get to know eachother better???
Of course, Crystal jumped at the chance to get to know the other girl better. It started very innocently, asking about favorite colors and foods. Gigi quickly changed that.
gigi: uhh… have u ever kissed a girl?
crystal: sadly no.. my state is full of straight people
gigi: same.. ur turn
crystal: this feels awkward to ask but uhhh….
As soon as she hits send, she instantly regrets it. She backtracks what she had originally typed, desperately trying to come up with another question. Crystal was not able to think of anything else.
gigi: ????
β€œI guess I’ll have to do it,” Crystal says, talking to absolutely no one. She types it out again, looking away from her phone as she blindly tried to hit the send button, like it would help her situation be any less flustering for her.
crystal: how long have you and nicky been dating?
Would Gigi find it weird that she asked? GigiΒ wasΒ the one who brought up kissing girls, not Crystal, so it would be fine. Right?
gigi: CRYSTAL WHATBDGNHSDMFD
gigi: nicky and i are not dating omg im single
gigi: she’s like my sister. plus i would never do long distance
Crystal was so embarrassed. She was relieved this conversation was taking place through a screen, so Gigi wouldn’t see her blushing face.Β 
She was pleased that she was wrong about the two girls, but Gigi’s answer was upsetting to her.
They asked a few more personal questions before Gigi started asking Crystal would you rather questions instead. Crystal’s favorite out of them was if she would rather get a mullet or dress like a clown every day for the rest of her high school career. The answer was both, obviously.Β 
They spent the rest of the night sending each other stupid questions, giggling to themselves. The later it got, the more Gigi would flirt with her. At least Crystal thought it was flirting.
gigi: it’s really late and i have a test tomorrow so im gonna go to sleep. goodnight, babe
Gigi always would say β€˜goodnight, bitch’, and this made Crystal even more confused. The ongoing joke that lesbians had the hardest time telling if a girl is into them or not was one of Crystal’s favorites, but now she couldn’t help but wonder if that was exactly what was happening to her. There was obviously a connection between them, but it was unclear to Crystal if it was just platonic.Β 
It didn’t hit her until later that night, while she was trying to fall asleep, but Crystal wasn’t entirely sure where Gigi lived. She knew they were in the same time zone, but wasn’t sure what state she was in. It was totally possible that Gigi lived in Missouri, but Crystal highly doubted it. Though Gigi obviously trusted Crystal enough to want to play 21 questions with her, she was still very private, and Crystal wasn’t too sure if Gigi would tell her what state she was in.Β 
Crystal fell asleep thinking about her highly unrealistic perfect world, where Gigi lived in Missouri and where Crystal wasn’t just another Nicky.Β 
-
Crystal got onto Twitter right after waking up the next morning, ready to ask Gigi if she happened to live in Missouri, but quickly got distracted with a very interesting conversation going on in the group chat.
jan!: now i may not be gay but i’m in love with a woman… 2 words jackie
jaida: i- that’s only one word
jan!: fuck
heidi: the way i can’t tell if you’re joking or not
jan!: the way i don’t think i am joking
gigi: YAAS about time u admitted that u like her
crystal: hold on i thought jan was straight?? who’s jackie???
nicky: do you really think a straight person would hang out with us?
crystal: good pointΒ 
jan!: I AM STRAIGHT! i think? i don’t know i’m so confused.Β 
heidi: jackie is jan’s local @ crystal
gigi: jan be like: im straight.
gigi: but also jan is like: wow jackie is so pretty and she’s so funny and smart i’m going to fail geometry so she can tutor me but no homo!
heidi: the delusion janice has…
jaida: not to be serious but if you think you like jackie, you probably aren’t straight baby. everyone else hush and let her talk
nicky: ^^ yeah jan what happened
jan!: first of all i did not fail geometry i just said we should study together so we did!!! and have been for months! but last night i couldn’t focus at all bc she’s so pretty all i wanted to do was k*ss her out of nowhere
In a way, Crystal could definitely relate. Gigi wasn’t her local, she still didn’t know what the girl looked like, but she still kind of wanted to kiss her. She couldn’t focus on anything besides Gigi sometimes, not like she would ever admit it.Β 
All of the girls had sent many comforting messages addressed to Jan, saying that it was okay, and she has all the time she needs to figure out her feelings. Afterwards, everyone had gone back to being playful. Gigi also tried to convince her to make a move on Jackie, which Jan refused.
gigi: if u talk to her u guys can get married <3
crystal: gigi you’re so stupid i love it
jan!: omg did someone say stupid love??? stream!Β 
gigi: crystal back me up :(
crystal: i might’ve found out who jackie is only 10 minutes ago but i will cry if jan doesn’t talk to her right now
jan!: better start crying bc i dont think i can even look at her now
jaida: that’s not saying much at all. you cried the other day bc gigi sent a pic of her dog
crystal: I AM A NANCY STAN FIRST AND A HUMAN SECOND!!
Crystal knew she looked like an idiot, walking to her locker with her eyes glued to her phone and a dopey smile on her face but she couldn’t care less.
-
The day actually went well for Crystal. The highlight of her day was finding out that the story she wrote for her creative writing class had gotten the highest grade out of everyone in the class, earning her a piece of candy.Β 
crystal: just got candy and a 99% on my story for class… i truly have the mind of a mastermind
jaida: beauty and intelligence in one combined!
Navigating through the halls was much more difficult when your eyes are glued to your phone, but replying to a meme Jaida sent seemed much more appealing to Crystal than getting to her seventh period without worrying about bumping into someone.Β  And bumping into someone, she did.
β€œWhat the actual fuck, weirdo?” Dahlia yelped, looking extremely offended, β€œGet off of your sad, cracked phone and watch where your dumb ass is going.”
Crystal just stared at her, frozen in fear. Dahlia taunted her daily, but this was very different from how she usually acts towards her. It was quite terrifying.Β 
β€œI swear to God, if you ever look at me, let alone fucking touch me again-” She continued, but before she could finish her statement, she was interrupted by her friend, Georgina running over and pulling her away.Β 
Crystal didn’t think Georgina shared Dahlia'sΒ hatred for her, and Crystal didn’t hate Georgina either. Georgina actually seemed very sweet besides the fact that she had never bothered to step in on the rare occasion Dahlia happened to target Crystal outside of class.
β€œCan you please leave her alone? We don’t have time for this.” Georgina groaned, looking back at Crystal, flashing her a quick smile, before turning around to escort Dahlia to what Crystal assumed was cheerleading practice.
β€œBut she bumped into me!” Dahlia whined, not used to being interrupted like this.
β€œReally? Wow, funny. I don’t care.”
Once they were out of sight, Crystal was alone again. She pulled out her phone and went to check if anyone had said anything else in the chat; just Jan freaking out, because Jackie had smiled at her in the hallway.
heidi: everyone say i if you think jan should stop being a baby and ask jackie out
jaida: i
crystal: i
jan!: WTF
jan!: friendship ended with heidi, jaida and crystal. now nicky and gigi are my best friends
jaida: they would say i too if they were online and you know that
jan!: i don’t need friends! they disappoint me!
Crystal decided to not use her phone while she was walking home, not wanting to have a repeat of the Dahlia situation. Her after school routine changed a lot in the past week, making a rule to not check Twitter before completing her homework. Her Twitter addiction was getting worse, but since it was also causing her to be more productive with doing her homework, she saw no issues with it. Once she had finished, she picked up her phone to see that Gigi had messaged her less than a minute ago.
gigi: hey clown :) im done w practice
crystal: WHY AM I A CLOWNDFSHDM
gigi: u just have clown energy. i cant and wont explainΒ 
crystal: honestly yeah i see it but can i at least be your clown wife or something
gigi: yeah <3 hey clown wife! i listened to most of midnight memories and it was really good! my fave song is u and i
If that’s not love, then what is? If that’s not friendship, then what is? Crystal had never been able to get anyone to listen to anything she recommended, ever. She was filled with glee, double tapping the message to heart it. It meant a lot to her.
crystal: YAYAYAYAYA im so glad but it looks so ugly when you spell it like thatΒ 
gigi: my fave song you and i* >:(
crystal: betterΒ 
gigi: if i have to stop spelling it as u to make you not divorce me i will
Crystal knew deep down it was just a joke, but it made her heart race. The feeling she got every time Gigi would flirt with her was very unfamiliar, but very nice. It didn’t help that Crystal thought β€˜You and I’ was one of the most romantic songs One Direction had, she couldn’t help but make the fact Gigi liked it out of all of the other songs into something it was not.
This reminded her of her late night thoughts. She had completely forgotten to ask Gigi where she lived, but the idea didn’t seem the greatest now that she was fully awake. She was still curious though, so against her better judgement she asked, without a segway or anything.
crystal: i forgot to ask but what state do you live in? asking for science
gigi: oh i live in missouri
crystal: omg me too
gigi: i don’t wanna reveal where but this is amazing.. maybe we won’t have to break the distance at all <3
Pleased that she somehow got an answer, Crystal changed the conversation into a discussion of β€˜Midnight Memories’, and if Gigi agreed with the opinions Crystal had shared the night before. She did, for the most part and before they knew it, it was time for Gigi to go sleep. Had they really talked all evening?Β 
gigi: i have to get up early so i need to go to sleep but im really glad jan added u to the gc
crystal: and im happy you asked me about one direction!
gigi: me too. ur cute when ur passionate. i hope we can continue to grow closer
crystal: i’d like that.
gigi: goodnight, my clown :)
crystal: goodnight, georgia rose
gigi: U DID NOT
gigi: my full name isnt even georgia and dad isnt even a dentist but i’ll allow it bc i know u think u invented comedy
gigi: ok gn now <33 luv u
crystal: gn!!! sleep well
Crystal wanted them to stay like this forever.

You Hurt Me ( Sweet Pea X Reader)
Summary: Y/N feels like the connection she and her boyfriend had has somehow disappeared just like he is from her life. She has to decide if she’s better off invisible or finally disappearΒ 
Warnings: Angst?!? Some smut of course!!! Soft pea
Word count: 3.6k
A/n: thank you so much for being patient guys!? This took me a while bc I’ve been really busy! Also ima try to finish all my request before Monday since I start school soon! But I hope you like this one!? Request per @saltyturtlejudgepurseΒ (some grammar and punctuation errors)
Tumblr media
You were mad. Confused. Frustrated. This was the 2nd time pea had canceled on your plans. The first time was a decent excuse.
You waited patiently at pops in your usual booth. Pea had told you to meet up at 6 pm their so you guys could eat before he went back to work the serpents. He did seem pretty busy with them recently.You had planned a little something special for him, you had bought that cute lingerie set from VS and well you had realized how long it was since Pea and you were intimate. So you decided it was a great idea to wear it under your short tan skirt and white blouse.
So you sat there, at 6 pm, and waited 20 minutes then 30 minutes. You texted him furiously.
Y/N: Where r u???
Pea: Babe I’m sorry! Reschedule, got caught up longer than we anticipated
You left him on reading, tears ready to run down your flustered cheeks. You got up and walked out into the chilly night and drove home.
The second time he tried to reschedule was meant to be at his trailer. You were jumping up in joy when he told you it would be at his home. You had dressed in a maroon lace and pulled on a casual black wrap-around dress. You look yourself in the mirror, β€œI look hot as fuck!” I laughed to myself as I grabbed my keys and made my way to pea’s trailer. On the way there you felt distracted the heat between your legs growing as the thoughts of Pea’s hands on your body, his lips that you craved. Thank god you were 2 minutes away. As you make your way up the stairs you knocked twice with no answer. You huffed agitated and called Pea.
He’s probably asleep
Ring ring ring
β€œHello?”
β€œ babe! Hey, what’s up?” You could hear his questioning voice. It made your blood boil.
β€œ What’s up? I’m outside your door? Where are you!” I yelled furious that he forgot.
β€œ holy- it was today? Oh, shit baby, I’m so sorry the boys invited me along to some drinks since we had a rough couple of -β€œ you were extremely angry, stomping your way to your car as you acted as you listened to his nervous ramble.
β€œ Sweet Pea GO FUCK YOURSELF?!” You screamed into the phone and hung up. You threw your phone at the passenger seat, sobs choking you up. You had been craving sweet pea’s affection and just support. You wanted your boyfriend back. Your phone was blowing up as you drove back home, of course of Pea. You decided to turn your phone off, you need to be alone for a bit and process everything, to make clear decisions.
You tried remembering the last time you kissed him. The thought of his lips on yours almost felt faint and like a ghost. The last time he hugged you close and you nuzzled into his chest. Your heart ached as you realized, β€œ how did it get this bad?”
the slight touch of his hands on your arm as he passed by you in the hallways at school
The soothing sound of his voice as he told you he would β€œ see you later”
The forehead kisses as he left you.
~
That night Y/N cried herself to sleep as she realized that maybe her happy ever after with Sweet Pea would end. His lifestyle has changed to the point it has affected their relationship and Pea didn’t even realize it. He was so preoccupied with serpent business that he put his only support system aside. As the sun rises Y/N woke up to the miserable feeling of having to see Sweet Pea at school. Her eyes red, swollen, and tired. No matter how much concealer she layered you could see the sadness wearing her out. You walked into school hoodie up, headphones in, you just wanted to get to 1st period without having question being thrown at me. You didn’t want to speak to Pea or even look at him. You had made your decision. If he wasn’t going to be there for you anymore, what was the point then? You were preparing yourself to end it. Suddenly you were yanked to the side, knocking your headphones out.
You met Toni’s confused expression, β€œ hey? What happened you’ve been MIA all day!”
β€œ my phone died.” I lied
β€œ Your phone.. Died? What is this the 19th century, you always carry your portable charger.” She stated matter-a-factly. You wanted to spill your emotions and feelings to her. Toni realized something was wrong once her friend sighed and looked at the ground.
β€œ What aren’t you telling me?” she implied, I couldn’t look at her or I would sob all over her and I didn’t need that attention right now. β€œ Please.” She whispered her hand on my arm.
β€œ I’m sorry.” I mumbled and walked past her leaving her concerned.
Just as I made my way up the stairs to my class I saw him. He stood tall and proud, right next to the entrance of my classroom door. His face seemed tight almost pissed. His arms crossed, the red flannel tight around his arms. His eyes wandered through the sea of students of Riverdale high.
β€œ Hey Y/N.” Reggie spooked me, I clutched onto my chest and Reggie stood their chuckling.
β€œ shit reg.” I cursed putting my attention on him, Reggie and I sit next to each other in the the 1st period. Recently since Sweat Pea and Jug had serpent business that meant I didn’t have someone to walk me to class, and since me and reg got along he decided to look after me.
β€œ Why are you waiting here? Let's get to class.” He ushered me but my eyes searched for Sweet pea who is still there waiting. Reggie followed my gaze and saw him.
β€œ Um.. did something happen?” He mumbled and walked back closer to me, my eyes filled up in tears as I remembered what happened.
Reggie pulled me into a hug, β€œ Hey don’t cry…” He cooed, I nodded softly but settled into his chest. Just like I use to with sweet pea. The bell rang as it signaled class has started. Students ran to and fro trying to avoid a tardy. The bell made me pry away from him. I was ready to do the hardest decision of my life. Reggie turned around to see me pass the classroom and past Pea who was obviously not looking to well since I tried to pass as quickly as possible.
But I was too slow.
β€œ Hey Y/n!” I heard him yelling , making me flinch and walk faster. As I tried getting away from him my eyes squinted as my thoughts ran quick just as my feet. Shoving who whoever was in my way. Then for the first time in a while, I felt a strong grip on my arm right above my elbow pulling me back, I recognized his hand immediately, his rings digging into my hoodie.
β€œ Why are you avoiding me?” He groaned angrily trying to look into my eyes but I refused looking at him.
β€œ Let me go.” I spat pry my arm away with no relief. It only made him even more mad. With his strength he pulled me up close, forcing me to look at him, both of his hands around my upper arms. I squealed as his sudden movement startled me.
β€œ Look at me.” He mumbled annoyed, I easily fell for his command, their i was looking into his dark eyes, the force and touch was enough for my body which had craved him for a while.
β€œ What the fuck is wrong-”
β€œ What the fuck is wrong? You want to know? Now? Go. to. Hell.” I snarled in his face, and began attempting to squirm away from him. My blood boiled, face flushed. While sweet pea felt hurt and insulted, and furious.
He shook me in anger, β€œ Y/N if you don’t tell me know-”
β€œ LET ME GO. YOU DON’T WANT ME I DON’T EITHER, ITS OVER!” I screamed in his face slapping his chest, those words gave him enough to let you go, he stood frozen with a frown on his face. I huffed rubbing my arms, and glanced at him. It was enough to make my anger disappear.
β€œ What?” He croaked, I fidgeted with my fingers and convinced myself to repeat myself to keep my ground. I deserved better right? But I missed him, I wanted him to hold me again. To kiss me. I couldn’t deal with this.
β€œ Pea I-” I started but when I saw his sad eyes and just seeing him, it made me feel like I had it all, my world was pea. Soft sobs came from me as I watched him process. β€œ I missed you- I NEEDED YOU, I WANTED MY BOYFRIEND!” I accused voice cracking fingers deep into his chest in frustration. His expression said everything, guilt.
β€œ So you can’t ask me don’t you dare ask me what is wrong with me, because-” I wiped my eyes, my vision became blurry by the minute. β€œ I never see you, I never can touch you anymore, how can I love someone who isn’t their?” This was the first time I saw Pea cry. It was breathtaking to say the least. His hands going through his hair trying to hide his face from me.
β€œ I’m sorry… shit I knew it… I fucking knew it, I was going to fuck this up!” He cried punching the lockers next to me in fury, making me flinch and sob, I wanted to hold him tell him to forget everything. I wanted to forgive him. But it hurt to much to forget.
Pea dropped to his knees and hugged my legs, crying he begged, β€œ Please… I’m sorry I fucked up…. I love you don’t leave me, your the best thing that happened to me.” I held in my tears and touched his head on last time.
β€œ I’m sorry.” I whispered as I unwrapped his arms from me, and walked away from a crying Pea.

It had been officially a week since I broke up with Pea, and it felt like forever. Toni had stopped by everyday to make sure I was okay. Also to convince me to rethink my decision on ending it with Pea. She had advised me that breaking up with Cheryl only made her realized how much she actually needed and loved her, and she said the makeup sex was amazing. Which made me laugh of course.
Pea wasn’t doing so well, he had completely shut down on everyone. Blamed jughead and the serpents for his misery, but of course FP sat with him told him the real reasons why. It somewhat helped but still it was hard to sleep and eat. He drank a lot and mostly alone in his room zoning out. Fangs apparently is tired of hearing his friend cry at night when he thinks he’s asleep.Β 
Deep down I was doing horrible too but you kept yourself busy. I caught up on reading and studying, shopping by myself. I decided to return the lingerie that I bought but it was still painful to even open the nice bag it came in.
β€œ Please take him back.” Toni pleaded as she was ready to leave. I looked up at her, actually pondering. She hugged me before opening the door, β€œ Just think about it.” with that she was gone. I slumped into my couch, watching as the sun set through the screen door. I decided to put on a movie to keep my mind focused on the movie and nothing else. It seemed like the universe was sending sign in the weirdest way, having to pick a movie right after a break up - worst decision. I went with the notebook. Halfway through the movie I heard knocking at the door. I paused it to get to the peephole.
β€œ Y/N!” Sweet pea pounded on the door. I gasped as I felt the door shake. Was he drunk? Was he here to yell at me? So many thoughts ran as I stared at the only thing keeping us apart.
β€œ Open up please!” He begged with a tremble in his voice, it sent a pain in my heart. Maybe Toni was right. I needed Pea, just as much as I needed him. β€œ baby.” He whimpered against the door. I set my forehead on the door eyes closed, deep down I prayed he would leave so I didn’t feel this guilt. He sounded vulnerable and broken, and I couldn’t take it.
β€œ I miss you… I still love you.” He sobbed as he kept knocking on my door. The stains on my cheeks said it all, I love him and god he seems so distraught from my actions. Suddenly the knocking was over and the presence on the other side seemed nonexistent. My breath was stuck in my throat as I realized, he left.
My hands instantly whipped open my door and their he was sitting on the ground where it seemed he was leaning against my door. My hands flew to my mouth in order to control myself. My heart beat increasing by the second.
Pea was on his feet instantly staring at his tired and emotional ex-girlfriend. All of a sudden he couldn’t speak. His thoughts running to fast for him to comprehend or say. His breathing heavy and panting.
I saw the dark under eyes ,and sickly pale skin in his use to be tan skin, his knuckles scarred in scabs from punching in a rage. Hair sticking to his forehead and his puffy eyes looking for any sign of forgiveness.
β€œ I-” He started to say eyes slightly squinted, my hand dropped down and looked pea dead in the eyes, filled with love and want.
β€œ I made a mistake.” I whimpered softly, his eyes went wide. β€œ I love you and it’s killing me Pea. Please don’t ever leave me.” I confessed as I yanked pea’s frozen body towards the entrance of the house. Our bodies inches away. Breath hitting each other’s face as we stared at each other. Admiring our flaws which seemed like a piece of art they could watch all day everyday.
β€œ Forgive me.” He breathed hands inching its way up my arms slowly leaving a trail of goosebumps, and up to cup my cheek. My eyes closed and leaned into his touch, I needed this for so long, his touch and love. β€œ Love me like you used to love me.” I sighed.
Pea’s heart broke as he heard her say those words. He was so selfish for letting this get so out of hand. He loved her so much yet he ignored the fact that love was also shown in intimacy and affection.
β€œ I promise I will do better I will-” My mouth immediately on his, a whimper escaping me as I felt the similar taste of him, the taste I've been craving since the day he became distant. Our bodies constantly colliding, my hands deep into his hair taking in the feeling of dried up gel under my nails and finger pads. Pea’s hands wrapped around my torso like I would disappear any moment and he wanted to make sure I wouldn’t go anywhere. The thought popped into your head β€˜ You should take control since I mean you did get your heart broken’. It was risky but I knew it was needed. My hands moved down to unwrap his hands from me, which Pea groaned about into the heated make-out session. Grabbing both his wrist in each hand and placing them against the wall behind him. It shook Pea to the core that he broke the kiss.
β€œ What-” He started eye wide, lips bright red from the assault.
β€œ My rules tonight.” I whispered before giggling and running upstairs to my room waiting to hear the patter of Sweet Pea’s steps.
our embrace once again colliding as his strong arms wrapped around me and unwrapped in anticipation to rip my clothes off. My eyes closed in bliss as I felt his aggression through his movements. His lips like honey on my neck, making me moan and groan, fingers prying instantly at his jacket and shirt. I pushed him off and straight towards the bed were he plopped down with a huff. I quickly crawled over him pinning his hands above him.
He groaned loudly in annoyance, ”baby!” with the unknown courage hidden in me I spoke in a seductive voice.
” you heard me, I'm in control, ” I tsked going to the drawer and pulling out the handcuffs he got me, he used them in me once but I think it's his turn to try them out. He whined as I clipped them around his wrists, and to the dashboard.
My eyes looking deep into his as I crawled down hands slipping my shirt off to show my bare chest, pulling the loose sweatpants off leaving me sitting right above his jean covered erection. The cuffs clanked as he groaned and hissed at the teasing.
β€œ I swear to god.” He huffs out somewhat out of breath already. I smirked softly enjoy his embarrassed and frustrated state. Wiggling my hips against earning a whine just to rile him up more. Deep down I needed this, badly. Suddenly the burning feeling in my thong was enough to have my lips and tongue on his and hands fondling with his belt to liberate him.
” please. I will do anything.” he grunted almost in pleasurable pain as my palm dragged up against his member.
” anything ” I mumbled against his lips, his face shook as if to say yes. I yanked down the remaining clothing and let my hand around him earning a sigh and growl.
” But you don't deserve it.” I whispered then something in him clicked into beast mode because his hands yanked and clanked his hips rutting upwards looking for any friction. I sat upward hands on his heaving chest watching in disbelief, who knew I would have the baddest boy of riverdale wrapped around my finger begging for me?
” beg.”
”never!” he spat in anger, my hand inched its way to my thong and straight to where I craved it.
” what are you doing…” he trailed off eyes wide.
” well since you’re tied up, not willing to follow the rules I got to take matters into my own hands.”
My eyes closing as my fingers rubbed the right place whimpers and cries pouring out leaving Pea in a horrible state.
” OKAY OKAY PLEASE PLEASE LET ME FUCK YOU, BABY, PLEASE.” he cried out once again his hips buckled. Our mouths once again together and letting my hand guiding him in me as I pushed aside my red thong. His hips instantly shoved up sending an electrical wave through me almost knocking me out.
” oh, my PEA!” I cried out fingers scratching his chest as his face scrunched in concentration as he thrusted upwards. I went ahead and clicked the latch that kept the cuffs locked sending Pea in a frenzy. He threw the cuffs somewhere and wrapped his arms around me his upper body meeting mine our lips clashing as I wrapping my legs around his back hitting the spot instantly deep in me. I gasped against him as my hips met his.
β€œ PEA fuck fuck, harder please.” I cried in pleaser, his hot breath against my neck.
β€œ now look who’s begging.” He chuckled darkly his hand wrapping around my hair yanking it back softly leaving more access to my neck. β€œ shit baby I can’t believe I left you so lonely, god I forgot how this felt.”
β€œ shut up and fuck me!” I groaned, he hastily switched our position, my back on the mattress and the pillows around me.
” I'm so close please ahh” I cried out fisting the sheets as Pea began his quick and bruising pace.
β€œ Pea touch me.” I guided his hand to bundle of nerves that pleaded to be touched by someone beside myself.
God Pea loved seeing you guide him to touch your most sensitive area, the way you’re face scrunched up in pleasure his name falling out of your lips in a prayer. His thumb quick to flick and rub you right.
Your back arching and a scream erupting followed by the pumping feeling of your walls around Pea signaled him you were so close.
β€œ Fuck baby, cmon.”
β€œ I’m- oh my mmmm” incoherencies left my lips as my legs twitched, hands fisting till my knuckles turned white, and eyes closed shut. A load loan left Sweet Pea as he buried his face in my neck.
I laid their trying to catch my breath. My eyes finally opening to see Pea still in me. It almost didn’t feel real. That he was here.
β€œ I missed you so much.” I whimpered as silent tears fell, instantly getting Pea’s attention, his tender hands around my face.
β€œ Aw baby don’t cry, I’m so sorry, I never meant to hurt you. I love you.” His brown dopey eyes comforting me. I nodded in agreement and held him close.
β€œ you know we need to do that more often you are crazy hot when you’re in charge.” He mumbled against my hair.
I laughed in amusement,” You just do that to me.”
β€œ Yeah you fucking tease.” He sassed back.

Miraculous Gaydybug

Shrunken!Nathaniel x Marc
Miraculous Ladybug g/t...yes. Especially with my gay boys...πŸ₯°
Story takes place a day or two after the events of Reverser.
Marc practically threw his front door open. Resizer, the newest akumatized villain's attack had only just begun, and he was already shielding his shrunken classmate from the world in his red hoodie pocket.
Nathaniel had been hit by one of her blasters, shrinking him down. Marc remembered the way Nath had frozen up as he got smaller, eyes growing wider as he watched his classmates begin to loom over him. The way he seemed to look at everyone in a silent, desperate plea for help. After realizing Nathaniel was frozen in shock and fear, Marc has rushed out and scooped the boy up, depositing him into the relative safety of his hoodie pocket. Ladybug ordered Marc to keep him safe while her and Chat Noir dealt with the akuma, and he promised he would.
His fingerless gloved hands were loosely cocooned over the tiny scarlet redheaded boy's body. He could just barely feel the trembling against his hands. Nathaniel was terrified, and rightfully so. First, they'd all watched as Chat was grown to probably half the size of the Eiffel Tower, and then Nathaniel had to feel and see himself grow smaller and smaller. Marc could only imagine the fear he was feeling.
The two boys had been distant past few days, ever since a misunderstanding between them and Marinette has caused Marc to be akumatized, Marc had been confiding in Marinette after his akumatization, worrying that Nathaniel hated him, sure they did that comic book together, but who’s to say that the artist had really been sincere? Marinette had told him that he's probably reading it wrong, and maybe Nathaniel feels guilty, but Marc was sure of his former assumption.
He went up to his bedroom and surveyed his somewhat messy room, ripped and crumpled up pieces of paper from scrapped story ideas he'd written lying all over the floor and his desk. With one swipe of his free arm, he pushed the papers from the desk onto the floor, he could pick them up later. Then, ever so gently, he wrapped his other hand around Nathaniel in a firm but careful manner. He was met with small squeaks of protest, and a lot of struggling, but Marc's hand easily overpowered the shrunken teen. As soon as Nathaniel was removed from the pocket, he went still and silent, eyes screwed shut, refusing to look at the giant boy that had his life in his palm. Marc stared down at him, getting a clear look at him for the first time, in utter awe.
He's so small... Marc thought. So fragile and helpless. Mylène must feel like that because of Chloé, and now her akuma is making it so she can pass that feeling onto others... Nathaniel made a small noise, something between a whimper and a squeak, and Marc's heart almost burst with pity. He gingerly set Nathaniel down on the desk, and crouched down. He noticed that Nathaniel had his eyes squeezed closed, and sighed. Maybe if he gave the little guy some time alone, he'd feel a little better.
"Stay here, alright? I-I'll be right back." Marc said in a hushed voice, trying not to stutter. His pity for his classmate only grew when he saw him flinch at his words. Marc slowly stood up and exited the room quietly. The small boy's terrified form made eyes well up with tears. Nathaniel never truly meant any harm, he'd just been conflicted, always insecure about people humiliating him for his drawings - again, ChloΓ©'s fault... - He didn't deserve to feel so vulnerable and powerless. The raven haired boy ambled into the kitchen, getting an idea. He still had some apology macaroons left over from Marinette, he'd tried to refuse them because in the end, neither boy blamed her, but she insisted, and so Marc and Nathaniel had both taken home a box of macaroons.
Marc came back upstairs with a small plate of macaroons. He knocked softly on the doorframe to his room and walked in carefully.
"H-Hey, uh...I brought up some m-macaroons if you're, uh, hungry..." He set the plate down on the bed, and trailed off when he realized he couldn't see Nathaniel on his desk anywhere. "Oh no..." He whispered to himself.
"Um, Nath...? N-Nathaniel?" Marc called out softly, taking a few steps forward. He looked to the ground and froze in his tracks. He could be on the ground! I could've just... Marc shooed off those thoughts, and slipped off his boots, tossing them to the other side of the room, that way he wouldn't accidentally crush his classmate. Marc crouched at the desk again, and listened.
"Nath...please, come out. I-I don't want to hurt you." He said slowly and quietly. No reply. Marc was about to check the floor, when he heard some sniffling from behind his mug of pencils. Marc was about to move the mug away, when he froze.
"N-No! Stop!" A sudden voice cried out. It had been a yell, but it was barely even loud as Nathaniel was so small. Marc retracted his hand, but didn't move away.
"Okay! Okay! I-I'm not gonna move the cup!" Marc promised, "but I'll only keep that promise if you'll talk to me." He coaxed. There was silence for a second, until:
"F-Fine."
Marc managed a small smile. He looked at the cup where Nathaniel was hiding behind. He took a breath and started talking.
"So...How are you holding up, Nath?" He asked in a calm, low tone. Another few seconds of silence.
"E-Everything is huge a-and scary...T-The people, the places, the o-objects...You." Marc physically recoiled. He was scary?
"M-Me? Why...Why am I scary? It's me, Marc! The boy who literally couldn't hurt a fly!" He said in a hushed but raised voice, "you know me, Nathaniel. I'm not scary."
"Y-You're lying..." The tiny boy whimpered, "you j-just want me to feel safe so I'll c-come out, a-and then you'll take your r-r-revenge..." Marc was confused.
"Revenge? Nath, why on earth would I want 'revenge' against you?!" Marc has to stop himself from shouting in disbelief.
"B-Because I'm why you became R-Reverser..."
Oh... Marc thought, everything clicked in his brain and it all made sense. Nathaniel's awkwardness, why he's hiding now, why they haven't been speaking.
He blames himself.
"I-I insulted you...I ripped your notebook - you w-watched me do it! - and I didn't even g-give you a chance to explain yourself..."
"You must hate me."
"No...No Nath, wait-" Marc wanted to reassure his classmate that he didn't hate him. Without thinking, he moved the cup aside, revealing the wide eyed tiny staring back.
"N-No...please stay back...!" Nathaniel squeaked out quietly, scurrying backwards. Marc was slowly inching his hands closer.
"Nath, please...d-don't run. Just let me explain, you don't have to be afraid." Marc looked last Nathaniel and saw that he was running out of room to go back. "Nathaniel, wait!" He said suddenly.
"No! N-No!" Nath's body was in a trembling frenzy. Marc reached out suddenly and Nathaniel jumped back in terror.
"I-I won't let you t-take me-!" Nathaniel was cut off as he backed right off the desk. Marc was quick to act.
"Watch out!" He exclaimed, cupping his hands under his classmate. He felt the small weight of Nathaniel collide into his palms. Marc inhaled sharply as it happened. He watched as Nathaniel sat up slowly and became aware of where he was.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, are you okay?! Are you hurt?!" Marc began to panic, he gingerly brushed a finger over Nathaniel's limbs to check for any injury.
"I'm...fine?" Nathaniel replied slowly and hesitantly, "are...are you n-not-?"
"Not mad? Of course not." Marc lifted Nathaniel up to eye level, "that wasn't your fault. It was just a misunderstanding. You'd been manipulated and bullied before for your art, and I get it, I have too. And you should know that even though we haven't been talking, I-I had been hoping we would be again, e-eventually. Anyway! I don't blame you for anything, and there's no 'revenge' I want on you. All I want for you is for you to feel safe with me, u-until Ladybug and Chat Noir fix...this." Marc said, using a single finger to move some hair out of Nathaniel's eyes. Nathaniel grabbed onto the finger softly and touched it, feeling the enlarged grooves of skin. Still clutching it, he nervously looked up, tiny turquoise eyes staring up at Marc's giant green ones.
"Th-Thank you." Nathaniel stuttered out. Then he gave his best attempt at a friendly smile while trying to push down his fear. Marc's cheeks went a light shade of pink and he smiled back. His brain was thinking just one thing.
Shoot, that was really cute...how is he so cute?
"U-Um...you're welcome." Marc stammered, cheeks shading into a deeper pink. He walked slowly over to his bed and sat down next to his plate of macaroons. He put his hands onto the bed and let Nathaniel stumble off onto the plushy surface.
"So...are you hungry, or..?" Marc trailed off awkwardly, breaking off a piece of the macaroons and extending it towards Nathaniel. The tiny boy eagerly grabbed it and took a bite. His eyes lit up.
"More of Mari's macaroons! I ran out the same day she gave them to us! They taste so good..." He said in a fake hypnotized voice. Marc smiles fondly at his small friend. Nathaniel looked up from his sweet treat, and saw Marc's face. Now Nathaniel was going his own shade of red.
Marc's kinda cute when you talk to him for a little bit...he's also a pretty good writer, we should make a comic together... Nathaniel thought, then realized what exactly he'd just thought. Both boys ate their macaroons in comfortable silence, each occasionally sneaking a glance at the other and smiling cheekily.
Both of them have it baaaaad...
Good lord I love them so much if you want more of these two in size antics let me knowwww!

Time’s Forever Frozen Still (One-shot)
Cyrus has been avoiding TJ ever since costume day, which was 2 whole weeks ago and TJ wasn’t taking it so well. Things were worse than the gun situation because even though Cyrus hadn’t been talking to him then, the silent treatment hadn’t gone for so long and it wasn’t his choice either. TJ’s sent text, after text, after text and all he’s gotten back nothing but silence except the one time Cyrus had replied asking for space.
What did that even mean?
TJ hadn’t noticed it before but Cyrus was his only real friend or friend at all. He hadn’t had a problem with it before, Reed and Lester weren’t great influences on him and the guys on the team only talk to him because he’s captain. It was cool though, he’d rather have one real friend like Cyrus than hang out with people who he never really feels himself around. But he didn’t have Cyrus anymore and to be frank TJ felt overwhelmingly lonely.
He sat up in his recently made up bed, rustling the bedsheets in the process and hit send on the message he just typed, all it took was five minutes before his phone pinged signalling a new text.
Jonah: I don’t think I’m supposed to be talking to u bro
TJ: Costume day?
Jonah: Yeah...
TJ sighs and runs his fingers through his hair, tugging at it slightly. Cyrus must really hate him now and he didn’t blame him.
Jonah: If it helps he’s not mad at u and he doesn’t hate u he’s just hurt
TJ thinks that may be worse. He can handle Cyrus being mad at him but knowing he hurt the only friend he has, the only person who’s stuck by him even when he wasn’t a great person, feels like a punch to the gut.
He thinks back on the real reason he hadn’t done the costume with Cyrus and hangs his head in shame, he had let Kira’s words get the better of him and because of that, he’d bailed on him and Cyrus’ costume, the costume he was the one to suggest. He’s an idiot he probably lost the only friend he had left because he had taken Kira’s words to heart.
It’s just, she had looked at him like she knew, like she knew the feelings he had for Cyrus... The feelings he had for boys and he panicked because if he didn’t do the costume with her she now had leverage on him and TJ isn’t ready for his secret to come out.
As much as TJ would love to blame Kira for all this, there was a tiny voice in the back of his head telling him that this was his doing, he was the one who hurt Cyrus again. But TJ as much as he trusts Cyrus, he doesn’t think he’s ready to come out to Cyrus. He doesn’t want Cyrus to hate him.
TJ stares at the wall in front of him, his eyes looking at all the posters he had of basketball players, bands and photos from family vacations before they settle on one picture. It’s a Polaroid he and Cyrus had taken a month ago, it had been a pain to take because Cyrus had been laughing the whole time and kept complaining about the flash but it was TJ’s favourite picture of the two.
-
TJ watches as Cyrus looks through his closet, commenting on every basketball hoodie he found as he went.
β€œOh my gosh” Cyrus whispers, clutching a blue hoodie to his chest.
TJ rolls his eyes and continues scrolling through his Instagram feed, β€œI already told you, Cyrus, I don’t want to hear what you have to say about my basketball hoodies. I won’t stop wearing them”
β€œYou kept my bash mitzvah hoodie,” Cyrus says, his face a mixture of confusion and shock as he turns to face TJ with the hoodie held up to his chest.
β€œY-yeah” TJ stutters out, avoiding eye contact with Cyrus.
β€œWhy?”
β€œIt’s got your face on it” He blurts out, groaning in embarrassment when his bed dips slightly from the added weight.
Cyrus shoves him playfully, β€œYou’re obsessed with me”
β€œI’m your number one fan” TJ gushes, leaning his head onto Cyrus’ shoulder and letting out a dreamy sigh. He and Cyrus give each other a knowing look and break into a fit of giggles.
β€œRemember when you had to open the bottle of apple cider for me? That was so embarrassing” Cyrus says, cringing at the thought of the memory.
β€œWhy?” TJ asks curiously.
β€œI don’t know” Cyrus shrugs, β€œI’m so weak that I couldn’t open a bottle of apple cider,”
TJ’s frown deepens, Cyrus was probably the strongest person he knew. It didn’t matter that he couldn’t open his own stupid bottle of cider, because, over the last few months of being friends with Cyrus, TJ had learnt that real strength wasn’t physical.
β€œYou’re not weak, Cyrus. I could only open the bottle of cider because you had already loosened it for me”
β€œReally?”
β€œYeah”
The two boys look at each other and smile, just a little longer than most friends age.
Cyrus was the one to break eye contact first, standing up from TJ’s bed and continuing to look around his room.
Things went on like that for 5 minutes, with Cyrus looking at his things and commenting on the things he found interesting and TJ watching him with a smile tugging at his lips.
β€œTeej! I didn’t know you had one of these” Cyrus says, turning around to face him with a bright yellow object in his hands.
β€œOh yeah, it was originally Ambers,” TJ says lifting himself off his bed and approaching Cyrus to take a closer look at the Polaroid, β€œDid you to take one?”
β€œSeriously?” Cyrus exclaims excitedly, beaming at TJ.
β€œYeah, just - hold on a sec,” He says, gently taking the Polaroid from Cyrus and holding it up to both of their faces.
β€œWait!” Cyrus cries out suddenly, giggling nervously, β€œMy hair’s not ready”
TJ smirks and quirks an eyebrow at Cyrus, β€œYour hair’s not ready?”
β€œYup, if this is going up on your wall my hair has to be perfect. I’m not a part of the good hair crew for nothing”
TJ stares at Cyrus for a beat, when he gets an idea. He places the Polaroid on his desk and moves his hands towards Cyrus’ head, while he rambles on about TJ potentially becoming a member of the GHC if he lost the hair gel. When his hands are just an inch above Cyrus’ head, he brings them down and ruffles his hair, laughing when Cyrus lets out a surprised squawk.
β€œTeej!” Cyrus shout, batting his hand away and pouting, β€œHow could you?!”
β€œI think you look nice like this” TJ replies, smiling innocently at Cyrus.
β€œMy hair probably looks terrible,” Cyrus says.
TJ watches as Cyrus turns away from him and folds his hands over his chest, for a split second TJ is worried that Cyrus is upset with him, when Cyrus suddenly lets out a loud laugh, clutching onto his belly as if he’d just heard the funniest joke ever. Β 
β€œI look like an idiot!” He says in between laughs, leaning half of himself onto TJ.
When Cyrus’ laughter finally dies down, it starts up again when he sees himself in the mirror.
-
TJ is snapped out of his thoughts by his mom calling him down for dinner, but Cyrus’ laughter still rings in his ears. He smiles bitterly at the memory while clutching onto the Polaroid of him and Cyrus that he had taken off his wall just a second ago.
If Cyrus never forgives him, TJ thinks the thing he’ll miss most is hearing him laugh.

Free πŸ†“πŸ†“ Churro Monologue
So I stopped at a Jack in the Box 🍱🍱🍱 on πŸ”›πŸ”› the way ↕️ here πŸ‘ˆπŸ‘ˆ, and the girl πŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘Ά behind the counter said, β€œHiya! Are you having an awesome πŸ‘ day?” Not, β€œHow are you doing today?” No 😣. β€œAre you having an awesome πŸ‘ day?” Which is 🈢 pretty... shitty, because it puts the onus on πŸ”›πŸ”› me to disagree with her, like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ if I’m not having an β€œawesome day,” suddenly I’m the negative one 1️⃣1️⃣. Usually when ⏰ people πŸ‘«πŸ‘« ask how πŸ€” I’m doing, the real answer βœ… is 🈢, I’m doing shitty, but I can’t say πŸ—£πŸ—£πŸ—£ I’m doing shitty because I don’t even have 🈢🈢 a good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ reason to be doing shitty. So if I say πŸ—£πŸ—£πŸ—£, β€œI’m doing shitty,” then they say πŸ—£, β€œWhy? What’s wrong?” And I have 🈢🈢🈢 to be like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„, β€œI don’t know πŸ€”, all of it?” So instead, when ⏰ people πŸ‘«πŸ‘« ask how πŸ€” I’m doing, I usually say πŸ—£πŸ—£, β€œI am doing so great πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§.” But when ⏰ this ⬆ girl πŸ‘ΆπŸ‘Ά at the Jack in the Box 🍱🍱 asked me if I was having an awesome πŸ‘ day, I thought, β€œWell, today I’m actually allowed to feel shitty.” Today I have 🈢 a good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ reason, so I said to her, β€œWell, My MΓΆm died,” and she immediately burst into tears πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

Goes by, stuff happens. Then you die ⚰⚰. Okay πŸ‘Œ. Well, that’s my time ⌚⌚, you’ve been great πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§! Tip your πŸ‘‰ waitress! No 😣😣😣, I’m just kidding around, there’s no 😣😣 waitress. But seriously, that’s all I have 🈢🈢 to say πŸ—£ about my mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ. No 😣😣😣 point 🈯 beating a dead πŸ’€ horse 🐴🐴, right πŸ‘‰? So... now what πŸ˜…? I don’t know πŸ€”, Mom πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ, you got any ideas? Anything? Mom πŸ‘ͺ? No 😣😣? Nothing 🈚 to contribute? Knock once if you’re proud 😀😀 of me. Can I just say πŸ—£ how πŸ€” amazing it is 🈢 to be in a room with my mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ, and I can just talk πŸ—£πŸ—£ and talk πŸ—£πŸ—£ without her telling πŸ—£ me to shut up ☝☝☝ and make her a drink 🍹? Hey πŸ‘‹, Mom πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ. Knock once if you think πŸ€” I should shut up ☝☝☝. No 😣😣😣? You sure? I mean 😏😏, I don’t want πŸ˜‹ to embarrass you, by making this ⬆ eulogy into a me-olgy, so, seriously if you want πŸ˜‹ me to sit πŸ’ΊπŸ’ΊπŸ’Ί down ⬇⬇ and let someone else talk πŸ—£, just knock once. I will not be offended. No 😣😣😣? Your πŸ‘‰ funeral ⚰⚰. Sorry πŸ’”πŸ’” about the closed casket ⚰, by the way ↕️↕️. She wanted ⚠ an open πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ casket ⚰⚰,but, you know πŸ€”, she’s dead πŸ’€ now, so who πŸ’ cares about what πŸ˜… she wanted ⚠. No 😣😣😣, that sounds bad πŸ“‰. I’m sorry πŸ’”. I think πŸ€” that if she could’ve seen what πŸ˜… she looked like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ dead πŸ’€, she’d agree πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ it’s better this ⬆ way ↕️↕️↕️. She kinda looked like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ a pissed off dinosaur πŸ¦–. The coroner couldn’t get πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰ her eyes 🀩 closed. So, now her face πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€ is 🈢 frozen β›„β›„ in a mass of tremendous horror and anguish. Or as my mother πŸ‘ͺ called it, Tuesday! Tuesday! My mom πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ called it Tuesday. Hey πŸ‘‹, Mom πŸ‘ͺ, what πŸ˜… did you think πŸ€” of that joke? You like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ that? You never ❌ did care for my comedy. Here’s a story. When ⏰ I was a teenager πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¦, I preformed a comedy routine for my high πŸ†™πŸ†™ school πŸŽ“ talent show πŸ“ΊπŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί. There was this ⬆ cool 😎😎 jacket πŸ§₯ that I wanted ⚠ to wear because I thought it would make me look πŸ‘ like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ Albert Brooks. For months, I saved up ☝ for this ⬆ jacket πŸ§₯, but when ⏰ I finally had enough, I went to the store and it was gone. They had just sold it to someone else. So, I went home πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ and told my mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ. She said, β€œLet that be a lesson. That’s the good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ that comes from wanting πŸ˜‹ things.” She was really good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ at dispensing life πŸ’“ lessons that always πŸ•” seemed to circle πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰ back ⬅️ to everything being my fault. But then, on πŸ”›πŸ”› the day of the talent show πŸ“Ί, my mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ had a surprise 🀨🀨 for me. She bought me the jacket πŸ§₯. Even though she didn’t know πŸ€” how πŸ€” to say πŸ—£πŸ—£ it, I knew πŸ€” this ⬆ meant she loved me. Now, that’s a good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ story about my mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ. It’s not true, but it’s a good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ story, right πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰? I stole it from an episode of Maude I saw when ⏰ I was a kid πŸ‘¦, where 🀷 she would talk πŸ—£πŸ—£ about her father πŸ‘¨πŸ‘¨πŸ‘¨. I remember when ⏰ I saw it, thinking πŸ€” that’s the kind of story I want πŸ˜‹ to tell πŸ—£ about my parents πŸ‘ͺ when ⏰ they die ⚰⚰. But I don’t have 🈢 any stories like πŸ˜„ that. All I know πŸ€” about being good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ I learned from TV πŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί. And In TV πŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί, flawed characters πŸ”£πŸ”£ are constantly showing people πŸ‘« they care with these surprising grand gestures. And I think πŸ€”πŸ€” that part of me still believes that’s what πŸ˜… love 😍😍 is 🈢. But in real life πŸ’“, the big gesture 🀲🀲 isn’t enough. You need to be consistent, you need to be dependently good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ. You can’t just screw everything up ☝☝☝ and then take a boat β›΄ out 🏎🏍 in the ocean πŸ¦‘πŸ¦‘πŸ¦‘ to save πŸ’ΎπŸ’ΎπŸ’Ύ your πŸ‘‰ best πŸ† friend 🐢🐢🐢, or solve a mystery, and fly 🐦🐦🐦 to Kansas. You need to do it everyday, which is 🈢 so... hard. When ⏰ you’re a kid πŸ‘¦, you convince yourself that maybe the grand gesture 🀲🀲🀲 could be enough. That even though your πŸ‘‰ parents πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ aren’t what πŸ˜… you need them to be, over and over, and over again, at any moment, they might surprise 🀨🀨 you, with something... Wonderful. I kept waiting for that, the proof, that even though my mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ was a hard woman πŸ‘§πŸ‘§πŸ‘§, deep down ⬇⬇, she loved me and cared about me and wanted ⚠ me to know πŸ€” that i made her life πŸ’“ a little bit brighter. Even now, I find πŸ”πŸ”πŸ” myself waiting. Hey πŸ‘‹ Mom πŸ‘ͺ, knock once if you love 😍 me and care about me, and want πŸ˜‹ me to know πŸ€” I made your πŸ‘‰ life πŸ’“ a little bit brighter. My mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ did not go gentle into that good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ night 😴😴. She went clawing and fighting πŸ₯ŠπŸ₯ŠπŸ₯Š and thrashing, hence the face πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€. If you’d seen her, I swear to god the only thing you’d be thinking πŸ€”πŸ€” about right πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰ now is 🈢 that I am nailing this ⬆ impression. I was in the hospital πŸš‘πŸš‘πŸš‘ with her through those last moments, and they were truly horrific, full 🈡🈡 of nonsensical screams and cries, but there was this ⬆ moment, this ⬆ one 1️⃣ instant of strange calm, where 🀷 she looked into my direction ☝☝☝ and said, β€œI see πŸ‘ you.” That was the last thing she said to me. β€œI see πŸ‘ you.” Not a statement of judgement or disappointment, just acceptance and the simple recognition of another person πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ in a room. β€œHello, there. You are a person πŸ‘€πŸ‘€. And I see πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ you.” Let me tell πŸ—£ you, it’s a weird πŸ˜• thing to feel at 54 years old πŸ‘΄πŸ‘΄πŸ‘΄, that for the first πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡ time ⌚ in your πŸ‘‰ life πŸ’“ your πŸ‘‰ mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ sees you. It’s an odd realization that it’s the thing you’ve been missing, the only thing that you wanted ⚠ all along, to be seen. And it doesn’t feel like πŸ˜„ relief πŸ˜…, to finally be seen. It feels mean 😏, like πŸ˜„, β€œOh, it turns out 🏎🏍 that you knew πŸ€” what πŸ˜… I wanted ⚠, and you waited until the very last moment to give it to me.” I was prepared for more βž•βž•βž• cruelty. I was sure that she would get πŸ‰πŸ‰ in one 1️⃣ final zinger, about how πŸ€” I let her down ⬇⬇, and about how πŸ€” I was fat and stupid, and too tall to be an effective Lindy-hopper. How πŸ€” I was needy and a burden and an embarrassment. All that I was ready for. I was not ready for β€œI see πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ you.” Only my mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ would be lousy enough to swipe me with a moment of connection πŸ“ΆπŸ“ΆπŸ“Ά on πŸ”›πŸ”› her way ↕️↕️ out 🏎🏍. But maybe I’m giving her too much credit. Maybe it wasn’t about connection πŸ“ΆπŸ“Ά. Maybe it was a.. Maybe it was a β€œI see πŸ‘ you,” like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„, β€œI see πŸ‘ you.” Like πŸ˜„, β€œYou May have 🈢🈢 the rest πŸ˜ͺπŸ˜ͺπŸ˜ͺ of the world 🌎🌎 fooled, but I know πŸ€” exactly who πŸ’ you are.” That’s more βž•βž• my moms speed πŸš…. Or maybe she just literally meant β€œI see πŸ‘πŸ‘ you. You are an object that has entered my field of vision.” She was pretty out 🏎🏍 of it at the end πŸ”šπŸ”š, so maybe it’s dumb to try to attribute it to anything. Back ⬅️ in the 90’s I was in a very famous TV πŸ“Ί show πŸ“Ί called β€œHorsin’ Around. Please πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ hold your πŸ‘‰ applause πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘. And I remember one 1️⃣1️⃣ time ⌚⌚, a fan asked me, β€œHey, um, you know πŸ€” that episode where 🀷 the horse 🐴🐴 had to give Ethan a pep talk πŸ—£, after Ethan finds out 🏎🏍 his crush 😊😊 only asked him to the dance πŸ’ƒ because her friends were only having a dorkiest date πŸ‘« contest πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†? In all the shots of the horse 🐴🐴🐴, you can see πŸ‘ a paper πŸ–¨πŸ–¨πŸ–¨ coffee β˜• cup on πŸ”› the kitchen 🍯🍯 counter, but in the shots of Ethan, the coffee β˜•β˜• cup’s missing. Was that because the show πŸ“Ί was making a statement, about the fluctuant subjectivity of memory and how πŸ€” even two ✌✌✌ people πŸ‘«πŸ‘« can experience πŸ’― the same moment in entirely different ways?” And I didn’t have 🈢 the heart 😍😍 to be like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„, β€œNo, man πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¦, some crew guy πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¦ just left πŸ‘ˆπŸ‘ˆπŸ‘ˆ their coffee β˜• cup in the shot πŸ₯ƒπŸ₯ƒ.” So, instead, I was like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„... β€œYeah.” And maybe this ⬆ is 🈢 like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ the coffee β˜•β˜• cup. Maybe, we’re dumb to try to pin significance onto every little thing. Maybe, when ⏰ someone says, β€œI see πŸ‘ you,” it just means, β€œI see πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ you.” Then again, it’s possible she wasn’t even taking to me. Because, if I’m honest, she wasn’t even talking to me, she was looking past me. There was nobody else in the room. So I think πŸ€”πŸ€” she was talking to me, but, honestly, she was so far gone at that point 🈯🈯, who πŸ’ knows πŸ€” what πŸ˜… she was seeing. Who πŸ’ were you talking to, Mom πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ? Not saying, huh πŸ˜•πŸ˜•? Staying mum? No 😣 rimshot there? God, whatever I’m paying you, it’s too much. Maybe, she saw my dad πŸ‘¨. My dad πŸ‘¨ died about ten years ago of injuries he sustained during a duel. When ⏰ your πŸ‘‰ father πŸ‘¨πŸ‘¨πŸ‘¨ dies, you ask yourself a lot of questions. Questions like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„, β€œWait, did you say πŸ—£πŸ—£πŸ—£ he died in a duel?” and β€œWho dies in a duel?” The whole thing was so stupid. Dad πŸ‘¨ spent 😡😡😡 his entire life πŸ’“ writing πŸ–Š this ⬆ book πŸ“–, but he couldn’t get πŸ‰πŸ‰ any stores to carry it, or any newspapers to review it. Finally, I guess one 1️⃣ newspaper πŸ“°πŸ“°πŸ“° thought he was hilarious, because they wrote a review and tore him to shreds. So, my father πŸ‘¨, ever the Proud 😀😀 Mary, decided he would not stand for this ⬆ besmirch ment of his honor. He claimed the critic didn’t understand what πŸ˜… it meant to be a man πŸ‘¦, so he demanded satisfaction in the form of pistols at dawn πŸŒ‡πŸŒ‡πŸŒ‡. He wrote the paper πŸ–¨πŸ–¨, this ⬆ letter βœ‰οΈβœ‰οΈ, saying anyone who πŸ’ didn’t like πŸ˜„ his book πŸ“–πŸ“–πŸ“–, he would challenge to a duel, anyone in the world 🌎. He’d even pay πŸ’Έ for airfare to San πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡² Francisco and a night 😴 in a hotel 🏨. Well, eventually this ⬆ found it’s way ↕️↕️ to some kook in Montana, who πŸ’ was as batshit as he was and took him up ☝ on πŸ”›πŸ”›πŸ”› the offer. They met at Golden Gate Park and agreed: ten paces, then shoot πŸ’«. But in the middle πŸ–•πŸ–•πŸ–• of the ten paces, Dad πŸ‘¨ turned to ask the guy πŸ‘¦ if he’d actually read πŸ›‹πŸ›‹ the book πŸ“– and what πŸ˜… he thought, but, not looking where 🀷 he was going, tripped over an exposed root and basked his head πŸ’†πŸ’†πŸ’† on πŸ”›πŸ”›πŸ”› a rock πŸ§—β€β™€οΈ. I wish πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ I’d known to go to Jack in the Box 🍱 then. I could have 🈢 gotten a free πŸ†“ churro. It would’ve been nice to have 🈢🈢 gotten something to show πŸ“Ί for being the son of ButterScotch Horseman. My darling mother πŸ‘ͺ gave the eulogy. My entire life πŸ’“ I have 🈢 never ❌ heard her say πŸ—£πŸ—£ a kind word to or about my father πŸ‘¨, but at his funeral ⚰ she said, β€œMy husband is 🈢 dead πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€, and everything is 🈢 worse now.” β€œMy husband is 🈢 dead πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€, and everything is 🈢 worse now.” I don’t know πŸ€” why πŸ€” she said that. Maybe she felt that’s the kind of thing you’re supposed to say πŸ—£πŸ—£πŸ—£ at a funeral ⚰⚰⚰. Maybe she hoped one 1️⃣ day someone would say πŸ—£πŸ—£πŸ—£ that about her. β€œMy mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ is 🈢 dead πŸ’€, and everything is 🈢 worse now.” Or maybe she knew πŸ€” he had frittered away all her inheritance, and replaced it with crippling debt, which is 🈢 a pretty shitty thing to leave your πŸ‘‰ widow with. β€œBad news, you lost 🏳🏳 your πŸ‘‰ husband, but don’t worry, you also lost 🏳🏳 the house 🏠!” Maybe Mom πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ knew πŸ€” she’d have 🈢 to sell all her fancy πŸ’  jewelry πŸ’ and move into a home πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ. Maybe that’s what πŸ˜… she meant by β€œeverything is 🈢 worse now.” Is 🈢 that what πŸ˜… you meant, Mom πŸ‘ͺ? You know πŸ€”, the first πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡ time ⌚⌚⌚ I ever preformed In front of an audience, it actually was, uh, with my Mom πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ. She used to put on πŸ”›πŸ”› these shows, with her supper club in the living room, and she used to make... she used to make me sing πŸ—£πŸ—£πŸ—£ β€œThe Lollipop 🍭 Song” Those parties, they were really something. There were skits and magic 🎩🎩 acts, and ethnically insensitive vaudeville routines, and the big finale was always πŸ•” a dance πŸ’ƒ my mother πŸ‘ͺ did. She had this ⬆ beautiful dress πŸ‘— that she only brought out 🏎🏍 for these parties, and she did this ⬆ incredible number. It was so beautiful and sad 😞😞😞. Dad πŸ‘¨ hated the parties. He’d lock β›“β›“ himself in the study πŸ”¬πŸ”¬πŸ”¬, and bang on πŸ”›πŸ”›πŸ”› the walls for us to keep it down ⬇⬇, but he always πŸ•” came out 🏎🏍 to see πŸ‘πŸ‘ mom πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ dance πŸ’ƒ. He’d linger in the doorway, scotch πŸ₯ƒ in hand πŸ‘πŸ‘, and watch πŸ‘πŸ‘ in awe, as this ⬆ cynical, despicable woman πŸ‘§ he married... Took flight πŸ›©πŸ›©. And as a child πŸ‘Ά who πŸ’ was completely terrified 😨😨 of both of my parents πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ, I was always πŸ•” aware of this ⬆ moment of grace, it meant something. We understood each other, in a way ↕️. Me, My Mom πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ and my Dad πŸ‘¨, as screwed up ☝☝☝ as we all were, we did understand each other. My mother πŸ‘ͺ, she knew πŸ€” what πŸ˜… it’s like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ to feel your πŸ‘‰ entire life πŸ’“ like πŸ˜„ you’re drowning with the exception of these moments.. these very rare, brief instances, in which you remember..you can swim 🐠🐠🐠. But, then again, mostly not. Mostly you’re drowning. She understood that too. And she recognized that I understood it. And Dad πŸ‘¨. All three 3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣ of us were drowning, and we didn’t know πŸ€” how πŸ€” to save πŸ’Ύ each other, but there was an understanding that we were all drowning together. I would like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ to think πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€” that’s what πŸ˜… she meant when ⏰ we were in the hospital πŸš‘πŸš‘ and she said, β€œI see πŸ‘πŸ‘ you.” You know πŸ€” the weird πŸ˜•πŸ˜•πŸ˜• thing about both your πŸ‘‰ parents πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ being dead πŸ’€ is 🈢 it means you’re next ⏭. I mean 😏, you know πŸ€”, obviously it’s not like πŸ˜„ there’s a wait 🚏 list for dying. Any one 1️⃣1️⃣ of us could get πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰ run πŸƒ over by some Snap-chatting πŸ’¬πŸ’¬ Teen at any moment. And you would think πŸ€” knowing πŸ€” that would make us adventurous, and kind, and forgiving. But it makes us small, stupid, and petty. I actually had a near death πŸ’€πŸ’€ experience πŸ’―, recently. A stunt went bad πŸ“‰ and I fell off of a building 🏭. I’m an actor. I do my own stunts. I’m on πŸ”› this ⬆ new πŸ†•πŸ†• show πŸ“ΊπŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί Philbert. Im Philbert. Star ⭐⭐⭐ of the show πŸ“Ί. It hasn’t come out 🏎🏍 yet, but it’s already getting Emmy Buzz. Oh, speaking πŸ“’ of buzz... I’m supposed to take two ✌✌ of these every morning 🌞, but my days are so screwed up ☝☝ β€˜cause of the shooting schedule πŸ“…, I don’t even know πŸ€” what πŸ˜… morning 🌞🌞🌞 means anymore. There’s a joke in there somewhere, about a guy πŸ‘¦ who’s been to so many funerals, he doesn’t even know πŸ€” what πŸ˜… mourning means anymore. Let you guys figure out 🏎🏍 that one 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ for yourself. Anyways, you know πŸ€” what πŸ˜… I thought.. When ⏰ I was falling off the building 🏭 and went into panic mode? The last thing that my stupid brain 🧠🧠 could come up ☝☝☝ with before I died? β€œWon’t they be sorry πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”.” Cool 😎😎 thought, brain 🧠. I don’t even know πŸ€” what πŸ˜… β€œthey” I wanted ⚠ to be sorry πŸ’”. My mom πŸ‘ͺ, before she died, could barely remember who πŸ’ I was. And of course, my dads dead πŸ’€πŸ’€. The last conversation I ever had with him was about his novel. He was so certain his book πŸ“– was his legacy. Maybe he thought it would vindicate him for all the shitty things he ever did in his stupid worthless life πŸ’“. Maybe it did. I don’t know πŸ€”. I never ❌ read πŸ›‹πŸ›‹ it. Because why πŸ€” would I give him that? I used to be on πŸ”› this ⬆ TV πŸ“Ί show πŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί called Horsin’ Around. Seriously though, hold your πŸ‘‰ applause πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘. It was written by my friend 🐢, Herb 🌿🌿 Kazzaz, whos also dead πŸ’€πŸ’€ now, and it starred this ⬆ little girl πŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘Ά named Sarah Lynn. And it was about these orphans. And early πŸ•πŸ• on πŸ”›πŸ”›, the network had a note πŸ”£, β€œMaybe don’t mention they’re orphans so much, because audiences tend to find πŸ” orphans sad 😞😞 and not relatable.” But I never ❌ thought the orphans were sad 😞😞. I always πŸ•” thought they were lucky 🀞 because they could imagine their parents πŸ‘ͺ to be anything they wanted ⚠. They had something to long for. Anyway, we did this ⬆ one 1️⃣1️⃣ season ❄️❄️❄️ finale, where 🀷 Olivias birth mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ comes to town. And she was a junkie, but she’s gotten herself cleaned up ☝☝, and she wants to be in Olivias life πŸ’“ again. And of course, she’s like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ the perfect πŸ‘Œ grown-up ☝ version of Olivia, and they go to the mall 🏬🏬 together and get πŸ‰πŸ‰ her ears pierced like πŸ˜„ she’s always πŸ•” wanted ⚠ and β€” Sorry πŸ’”, spoiler alert 🚨🚨 for season ❄️ six 6️⃣6️⃣6️⃣ finale of Horsin’ Around, if you’re still working πŸ—πŸ—πŸ— your πŸ‘‰ way ↕️↕️↕️ through it. Anyway, the horse 🐴🐴🐴 tried to warn her, β€œBe careful, moms have 🈢 a way ↕️↕️ of letting you down ⬇⬇.” But Olivia just thinks the horse 🐴 is 🈢 jealous, and when ⏰ the mom πŸ‘ͺ says she’s moving πŸ“¦πŸ“¦ to California, Olivia decides to go with her. And the network really juiced the cliffhanger: β€œIs Olivia gone for good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ?” But of course, because it’s a TV πŸ“ΊπŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί show πŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί, she was not gone for good πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸΎ. Of course, because it’s a TV πŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί show πŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί Olivias Mother πŸ‘ͺ has a relapse and had to go back ⬅️⬅️ into rehab, so Olivia has to hitchhike all the way ↕️↕️ home πŸ‘ͺ, getting rides from from Mr πŸ‡²πŸ‡·. T, Alf, and the cast of Stomp. Of course that’s what πŸ˜… happened. Because, what πŸ˜… are you gonna do, just not have 🈢 Olivia on πŸ”› the show πŸ“Ί? You can’t have 🈢🈢🈢 happy πŸ˜€πŸ˜€ endings on πŸ”›πŸ”› sitcoms, not really, because, if everyone’s happy πŸ˜€, the show πŸ“Ί would be over, and above πŸ†™ all else, the show πŸ“Ί... Has to keep going. There’s always πŸ•” more βž•βž• show πŸ“ΊπŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί. And you can call Horsin’ Around dumb, or bad πŸ“‰, or unrealistic, but there’s nothing 🈚🈚 more βž•βž•βž• realistic than that. You never ❌ get πŸ‰ a happy πŸ˜€πŸ˜€ ending, β€˜cause there’s always πŸ•” more βž•βž• show πŸ“Ί. I guess until there isn’t. My mom πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ would hate 😑😑😑 it if she knew πŸ€” that I spent 😡😡 so much time ⌚ at her funeral ⚰⚰ talking about my old πŸ‘΄πŸ‘΄πŸ‘΄ TV πŸ“Ί show πŸ“Ί. Or maybe she’d think πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€” it was funny πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ that her idiot 😜 son couldn’t even do this ⬆ right πŸ‘‰, who πŸ’ knows πŸ€”? She left πŸ‘ˆ no 😣😣😣 instructions for what πŸ˜… she wanted ⚠ me to say πŸ—£πŸ—£. All I know πŸ€” is 🈢 she wanted ⚠ an open πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ casket ⚰, and her idiot 😜 son couldn’t even do that right πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰. I’m not gonna stand up ☝☝ here πŸ‘ˆπŸ‘ˆ and pretend I ever understood how πŸ€” to please πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ that woman πŸ‘§, even though so much of my life πŸ’“ has been wasted in vain attempts to figure it out 🏎🏍. But I keep going back ⬅️⬅️⬅️ to that moment in the ICU when ⏰ she looked at me and,...” I-C-U πŸ‘‰.” β€œI..See πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘...You..” Jesus ✝️ Christ β›ͺβ›ͺ, we were in the Intensive Care Unit. She was just reading a sign β›Žβ›Žβ›Ž. My mom πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ died and all I got was a free πŸ†“ Churro. You know πŸ€” the shittiest thing about all of this ⬆? Is 🈢 when ⏰ that stranger behind the counter gave me that free πŸ†“πŸ†“πŸ†“ churro, that small act of kindness showed more βž• compassion than my mother πŸ‘ͺπŸ‘ͺ gave me her entire goddamn life πŸ’“. Like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„, how πŸ€” hard is 🈢 it to do something nice for a person πŸ‘€? This ⬆ woman πŸ‘§ at the Jack in the Box 🍱 didn’t even know πŸ€” me. I’m your πŸ‘‰ son. All I had was you! I have 🈢🈢🈢 this ⬆ friend 🐢🐢🐢. And right πŸ‘‰ around when ⏰ I first πŸ₯‡ met her, her dad πŸ‘¨πŸ‘¨ died, and I actually went with her to the funeral ⚰. And months later, she told me that she didn’t understand why πŸ€” she was still upset 😞😞😞, because she never ❌ even liked her father πŸ‘¨πŸ‘¨. It made sense to me, because I went through the same thing when ⏰ my dad πŸ‘¨πŸ‘¨ died. And I’m going through that same thing now. You know πŸ€” what πŸ˜… it’s like πŸ˜„? It’s like πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ the show πŸ“Ί Becker, you know πŸ€”, with Ted Danson? I watched the entire run πŸƒ of it, hoping that it would get πŸ‰πŸ‰ better, and it never ❌ did.

A Royal Mess Up (Moxiety/Logince Fic)
Chapter 2.
Previous/Β Next
As they walked along the paths of the woods, taking in all around them and experiencing it as if it was the first time they’d ever step foot outside. Being part of the Royal castle meant everyone was on constant watch, needing to be protected from whatever evils laid behind its doors. The group thought it was silly to be that cautious. Nothing in over a hundred years has ever happened to the Royal family and in their minds, nothing would for another hundred years. So, with all the protection they were under, they couldn't do much without being caught or babied over.
However, when they were younger, they'd found their way to the locked sector of the library in town -they snuck out. Inside it was just a few books, nothing more. Each had its own colour and an emblem: the red book had a Knight's sword on it. The purple was decorated with a single cloud of lightning. A beautiful light blue book had a lovely heart with animals running around it. The mysterious navy Blue had a brain with a spell book under it. And lastly, the orange had a castle on it, surrounded by the four emblems on the other books. They were amazed by these books, and the store clerk allowed them to keep the books, so long as they were in good care.
They all picked a book that called to them the most. Roman chose red, Logan had the Navy blue, Patton picked the light blue, Virgil went to the purple, and Thomas was drawn to the orange. When they'd opened the book, it was this language none of them could read. The only ones who could barely make a sense of them were Logan and Patton. Logan noticed hints of old Romanian language in the writing and Patton's had pictures depicting animals you'd find in the forest. The other three were simply all written, aside for some very confusing and random pictures. Roman's had something of a map with a sword beside it, but the map was half missing. Virgil's had different hand techniques with lightning shooting out, but none of them worked, not that he was trying that hard anyway. And Thomas's seem to have many chapters dedicated to each of the other books, but nothing on his own.
All of this was very confusing to the five, and since they had more important issues to attend to then reading a book they weren't able to understand, they put them away, each in their own rooms. Logan out his at his bedside table, finding rare times to stifle through it in hopes to understand the language. Roman showed him in a place he can't be bothered to remember since he wasn't much for reading anything that wasn't a fairy tale. Virgil placed his thrown on his bookshelf, he didn't read much, only when he was bored, but even then he would rather hang with the others then read. Thomas put his neatly in a drawer, not wanting his father to see and freak out at him for not studying on how to be asking, not that there was a book for that anyway. And Patton continued to read his, Β mostly for the pictures, since they were so beautifully drawn and he thought the language was interesting, not that he could understand it.
The book soon became a distant memory for most of them, only Patton and Logan truly remembering them. However, from time to time, they all couldn't help but wonder what those books were saying, and why they were so drawn to them.
However, those thoughts were currently not on their minds as they wandered through the woods. The further they walked in, the more it seemed to change from how they remember. The trees went from full of life and blooming to casting over them, dead as a graveyard. The sky that peeked out from the leaves was long gone. And the path they thread on suddenly ended right at Patton's feet.
β€œUh… Guys? The path is gone…” Patton told, turning back to face them. From their expressions, they already knew.
Thomas looked the second most worried, right after Vigil. β€œPerhaps we should leave this place?” He suggested.
β€œI second that.” Virgil's voice trembled. β€œLet's go, now, guys.”
Just as they were about to turn and leave this seemly forbidden forest, a wall of thick trees blocked them in a wide circle. No way in, and definitely, no way out.
β€œWas that always there…?” Patton questioned, knowing the answer already.
β€œNo. No, it wasn't.” Logan answered anyways, trying to compose himself. He wasn't one to get scared easily -just startled, but even this made his bones rattle, as one would say.
Roman pulls his speed out. β€œDon't worry, I'll cut us a way out,” he said in his normally proud and strong voice. In order to keep the others calm, he must portray strength and leadership.
Just before he could a swing at the trees, a voice echoes around the circle. β€œOh, Roman, I wouldn't do that if I were you. Trees had feelings too, ya know? Wouldn't want to hurt them… right?” Suddenly, a snake-like figure appears before them, sitting in a tree that stood out amongst the others. β€œHello, my dear pets.”
β€œHey, I know you!” Patton perks, walking forwards to the tree and a pointed finger. β€œYou're from that book I have in my room! I'm sure of it!”
Roman was quick to pull Patton's back behind him, his sword now pointed to the being with a scaled faced.
The figured seemed interested in Patton's words. β€œOh, is that so?” they jumped from the tree, never making a sound. Despite the scales on their face, they appeared human. β€œWhat else was in this book of yours? Did it perhaps have an emblem on it, of a heart with animals?”
Patton gave an excited gasp, tapping on Roman’s in excitement. β€œYes! Yes, it does, how did you know?”
β€œDon't talk with him!” Virgil whisper-yelled at this crush/friend.
The others grew worried about this figure, not that they weren't before. Patton was easy to trust, so the others had to be careful who he considers friend or foe. This one was definitely a foe to be careful of.
β€œWell, I'm sorry to say that the book is mine.” They said.
Patton frowned. β€œOh, I am sorry, I hadn't known it belonged to someone. Would you like it back?”
β€œYes, very much so.”
β€œOh, well, sure! You'll have to let us out first since it's back at the castle!”
β€œThe… castle?”
Patton gave his natural smile to the figure. β€œWell, yeah, it's where w--”
Patton wasn't able to finish, as his mouth was covered by Logan's hand. He was feeding the personal information with ease, tricking him into it. They had to be careful.
β€œWe should take our leave. If you’ll excuse us.” Logan turned to Roman. β€œIf you'll please cut us a path.”
Roman realized Logan wasn't saying his name like he usually does when starting a sentence with someone. He was avoiding names to keep distant with the mysterious person.
Roman nodded and went to slash a way through when he was frozen stiff by the figures next words.
β€œI thought I warned you against that, Roman, Logan.”
The slice went cold, very cold as fog set in around them. They all realize what happened, and this meeting wasn't an incident and the reason why was because never once did they ever reveal their names.
The figures grin spread wide across his face. He got closer to the group, a light just waiting at his lips. β€œThat's right, I know all your little names. Logan, Thomas, Β Roman, Virgil, and Patton” The fog covered the figure, making his vanish, but his voice echoed clearly through it all. β€œNow… give me those books your hiding.”
β€œWe don't have them here!” Thomas bravely yelled, regretting it almost immediately. This wasn't a person to mess with and he just screamed at them words they probably didn't want to hear.
β€œIf you don't have what I want, then you won't get what you want.” The voice reasoned.
Before words could be shared, Patton began to feel tingling in the middle of his chest. β€œG-guys…” His voice whined with worry. He held his chest as the others looked over. β€œI-it h u r t s.” Patton's voice was becoming static as he started to fade away.
β€œN-no, wait, please stop!” Virgil begged, trying to grab Patton and tell him he's safe, but his hands went right through him.
β€œPatton…” Roman said, slowly through a thick and heavy voice. He couldn't be seeing this. This wasn't happening.
Patton gave a smile past his tears that hid behind his glasses. He fiddled with the heart necklace around his neck. It was a gift from the group for his 16th birthday. Inside it, all their names were carved in it, symbolizing their friendship and the many years they would share together. Patton only wished he could do more than give a smile. β€œIt alrig--”
He disappeared. Right before their eyes, their dear Patton was gone.
There wasn't time to mourn, as the next victim was alien motion. Logan felt himself grow smaller and smaller whilst his arms grow heavy. He started to grow feathers, a beak, and bird feet. And that's what he was: A raven as black as the night sky. Before the others could do anything, he too was vanished before their eyes.
β€œLogan!” Roman called out.
Virgil was next. He, like Logan, was changing and morphing into something inhuman. His hands and feet turned to wolf paws, and his height was shifted to length as he was starting to bare shaper teeth and fur that covered his entire body. He becomes a wolf, so dark purple it appeared black with very hidden hints of a white sparking through the fur. He too was gone suddenly after the transformation.
β€œNo, Virgil!” he cried, reaching out for where he once was.
Thomas was the next victim, his eyes becoming yellow like the figures were, even slit the same. Suddenly, he became a zombie, almost, his body no longer in his own control as he moved unnaturally through the fog, being lost within moments.
β€œT-Thomas, don't! Please!” he begging, trying to grab hold of his prince, but falling short.
All around him, Roman lost all the people he called family. He tried to help each one, but he failed them all.
The figure purposely left Roman last. He knew he was a Knight from the sword and armour. Β And what way better to break him than to watch him realize at the notion he wasn't able to save his dear friends.
β€œDear, dear Roman, how far you've fallen from the title you give yourself.” The voice mocked. β€œYou call yourself a hero, yet every life here was gone right before your protective hands. How the mighty fall.”
Roman growls, feeling anger and sadness drive his emotions at his sword. He starts slicing through the fog, hoping the snake-headed bastard was still hiding behind it. β€œGrr, come out, you coward!”
Instead of getting what he wanted, Roman feels himself fading away. He looks to see his hands disappearing, along with the rest of his body. He felt lighter by the minute. His sword fell through his hands, the same sword gifted to him by the king to protect the prince and his friends. However, he failed his job and was paying the price for it.
β€œI'm sorry…” Roman whispered as he faded away, just as the rest.
β€œAh, what a beautiful story this is becoming, isn't that right, my pet?” The figure asked, petting Thomas’ head. β€œOh, Deceit, you've done it again… Now… let's see what my toys do next…”

To The Rescue | peter parker
wanna be on my taglist?
Tumblr media
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader
Requested: @fangirl328​
Request: I LOVE YOUR ACCOUNT SOOO MUCH! ;) May I request that Peter and the reader go to the same school, and the reader starts to get bullied for a little while, and as soon as Peter comes he saves the day. Thank you soo much! ;)>
Warning(s): Fluff
A/N: WELP I don’t know if you remember ever sending me this request but I’m starting from the bottom of my requests and there you were! Although you may not remember, I still wrote it for you. I’m sorry sweetie. I hope you enjoyπŸ’–
 It went from being called β€˜β€™stupid’’ to being body shamed. You tried to not let their words get to you, but it soon went from emotional abuse to physical abuse real quick. Midtown High was absolute hell because of the two teenage girls who constantly bullied you. They’ve humiliated you in front of bunches of students.
 They’ve dunked your head in the toilet and flushed it with your head still in the bowl, practically drowning you. Nobody knew about your bullies, and you weren’t planning on telling anybody anytime soon. The three girls have threatened you and said if you told anybody about it, they would do even worse things.
 You sat in Science class, tapping your pencil on your hard wooden desk absentmindedly. It was currently homework time and everybody was working on homework. Your eyes stared at the paper in focus as you fell upon a difficult question. Your phone beeped once, alerting you that it was a text message.
 You pull out your phone and turn it on, your eyes widening. It was one of your friends.
β€˜β€™Heather and Bianca tied me up in the basement. Please help.’’
 You didn’t even second yourself and removed yourself out of your chair. You rush up to the hall pass and grab it. You hurry out of the door and to the stairs that led down to the basement. You fly down the stairs and immediately saw that you were tricked, by no other then your school bullies.
 Bianca held up the phone of your friend and gave you a malicious smile.
β€˜β€™I should’ve known,’’ you mutter timidly. β€˜β€™where’s–’’
β€˜β€™We never tied her up,’’ heather interjected. β€˜β€™we stole her phone and tricked you onto coming down here.’’
 Your mind was yelling at you to leave, but your body was doing the complete opposite and stood frozen at the bottom of the stairs. Bianca giggled and threw your friends phone to the ground, smashing it into bits.
β€˜β€™Now that you’re here,’’ bianca sighed, rubbing her hands together. β€˜β€™where’s our homework?’’
β€˜β€™I..I um, I don’t have it finished yet.’’
β€˜β€™You what?’’ heather raised an eyebrow. β€˜β€™I’m sorry. Can you repeat that?’’
β€˜β€™You know what.. I-I’m finished with doing your guys’ homework!’’ you blurt, a sudden boost of confidence overtaking you. β€˜β€™You guys won’t learn anything if you don’t do the work yourselves.’’
 The two girls exchanged looks, amused grins tugging at their lips. Bianca shot her eyes at you and gave you an eerie chuckle.
β€˜β€™I guess you’ve got something to learn as well,’’ bianca spoke, walking up to you. β€˜β€™and that lesson is never talk back to us.’’
 Bianca lunged at you and grabbed you by the collar. You were thrown to the ground, injuring your wrists as you attempted to catch yourself on the way down. You laid on the floor, your wrists aching with agonizing pain. Your entire body shook in complete fear as the shadows of the two towered over you.
β€˜β€™P-Please,’’ you begged, trembling in fear. β€˜β€™I-I’ll have it finished by the e-end of the day. I p-promise.’’
β€˜β€™Oh, you can’t turn back now sweetheart,’’ heather laughed evilly. β€˜β€™you’ve already made your mistake, now it’s time for you to face your consequences.’’
 Heather took the first move and swung her foot right into your face, socking you right in the eye. You shriek as the tormenting pain began to endure through your face. They’ve given you lots of pain, but being kicked in the face was by far the worse physical pain you’ve ever felt in your entire life.
 The two girls cackled as they watched you cry to yourself about your hurt eye.
β€˜β€™Oh, I’m sorry, did I give you a boo boo?’’ heather mocked. β€˜β€™Well, maybe your entire body should feel the same pain.’’
 As Heather raised her foot to strike again, a voice interrupted her kick.
β€˜β€™What are you doing?’’
 Heather immediately drew back her foot and looked up, seeing a boy slightly leaned over as if he was watching them. He straightened his posture and looked down at you, who was curled up in a ball. He swung his eyes back up to meet with Heather’s. She slapped her hands on her cheeks and let out a gasp.
β€˜β€™You wouldn’t believe what happened,’’ heather cried out. β€˜β€™me and my friend here, we were just down here to retrieve something. And then she came down and threatened us with–’’
β€˜β€™There’s not one scratch on either of you two,’’ he interjected, pointing at both the bullies. β€˜β€™don’t even try to lie. I know you two did this to her, and I want you two to leave her alone.’’
β€˜β€™Fine, you caught us,’’ bianca spoke, rolling her eyes. β€˜β€™and what makes you think that you can tell us to leave her alone? You look as scrawny and weak as she is.’’
β€˜β€™Look,’’ he began, slowly walking up to the girls. β€˜β€™I don’t want to fight you two, all I’m asking if you just calmly leave the basement and we’ll pretend that none of this ever happened.’’
β€˜β€™And if we don’t?’’
β€˜β€™I’ll show the principal this.’’
 He pulled out his phone and faced the screen towards them. He clicked play and the two girls watched the video of them beating you up in the basement they were all currently standing in. Once the video ended, he tucked it back into his pocket and threw them a smirk.
β€˜β€™Now, like I said, jus–’’
β€˜β€™GIVE ME THAT PHONE!!’’
 The two girls sprung at him with their hands stretched out, ready to strangle him, but he dodged them. The two girls stumbled forward and crashed into the wall, sending them both straight down to the floor. He looks over at you and saw that you were trying to stand up, but you were struggling. He instantly rushes up to you.
 When he reached you, he leaned down and put out his hand and offered you his assistance.
β€˜β€™Here here,’’ he said quickly. β€˜β€™I’ll help you up.’’
 You take his hand and he gently lifts you up to your feet. Your eye continued to throb with awful pain. He put his finger underneath your chin and lifted it up to get a good look at your eye. His heart broke into two as he saw your lips quiver and tears continue to stream down your face.
β€˜β€™It’s going to be okay,’’ he whispered softly. β€˜β€™I’m so sorry they’ve done this to you.’’
β€˜β€™I-I guess I’m pretty u-used to it by now,’’ you sniffle. β€˜β€™i-it was my fault for not having t-their homework done with.’’
β€˜β€™They did that because you didn’t do their homework?’’ he exclaimed, completely outraged. β€˜β€™What bit–er um, jerks.’’
 He instantly pulled you into a hug and squeezed you tight. The second you were inside his arms, you let it all out. You began to sob crazily, nobody has ever held you in so long. Even though you had no idea who this person was, his hug was the most comforting hug you’ve ever received.
β€˜β€™Everything is going to be okay,’’ he assured, pulling away from the hug, his hands still placed on your shoulders. β€˜β€™as long as I’m here, you’re never going to get hurt ever again. Especially by these two morons.’’
He slid his hand into yours. β€˜β€™Now, lets go to the nurses and get you a pack of ice,’’ he insisted. β€˜β€™and while I’m up there, I’ll march right into the principals office and show him that video.’’
β€˜β€™Thanks.. Um,’’
β€˜β€™Peter, Peter Parker.’’
β€˜β€™Peter Peter eh?’’ you tease, feeling a little better. β€˜β€™I guess they liked the name Peter so much they decided to put it twice in your name.’’
He laughed. β€˜β€™You’re funny (Y/N).’’
You quirk an eyebrow. β€˜β€™How do you know my–’’
β€˜β€™Off to the nurse we go!’’
 You let out a joyful laugh as he rushed up the stairs, his hand still connected with yours. It was like as soon as he hugged you, all of your worries, all of your pain, disappeared.
The End
