Could I have a request for upper demon moons with s/o gender neutral in a date in modern world ?
A/N: Here you go anon! I hope you enjoy these.
Kokushibo
I feel like he really enjoys quiet places
A day at the book store is usually you twos go to date
Just helping each other pick out books
Or finding really funny ones to make fun off
Another date you two go on regularly is to the park with your dog
Just watching you play fetch with her is enough to make Kokushibo laugh to himself
His favorite part about the walks though dont happen until the sun goes down
You two were walking hand in hand through the part
“Hey is something wrong?”
Your question caught him off guard. “Why would you say that love?”
“Well you keep checking your watch like somethings going to happen.”
Knowing you caught him he sighed leading you toward the tunnel of trees
As soon as the clock hit 9 the fairy lights in the tunnel turned on
“Oh so this is why you were in such a hurry.”
Pulling out his phone he put on a slow song and held out his hand
“May I?” “You may.”
And you two danced in the tunnel like you were the only people left on the planet
Doma
Did somebody say shopping?
He will buy you anything and everything
Oh you want that new book that your favorite author just dropped?
We’re picking it up right now
You want those shoes?
On it
Want the new video game that’s really hard to get?
Already in the bag
He absolutely loves to take you to buy clothes the most though
He pushes you out of your comfort zone in a good way
“Come on out darling. Let me see~”
“Doma I don’t know...”
“Nonsense. I bet you look amazing.”
After taking a deep breath you walked out of the changing room
“Look at yoooouuuuuu.” He squealed. “Do a turn for me won’t you.”
Rolling your eyes you complied to his wishes
“Ah you just look amazing. Yep we’re buying it.”
Yeah dates with Douma are a real confidence boost
Akaza
His dates are usually very chill
He’ll walk around town with you all day if he could
Doing whatever you wanted to do
But there is one time of year that is absolutely necessary for a date
And that my friends is fair time
You two wear matching outfits cause you’re that couple
He definitely makes it his mission to go on all the rides
Even the pirate ship
“Babe just one more time.”
You’ve had to pull him away from things more than once
You two were walking around having just got done eating when a certain clown started flying insults at your boyfriend
“Oh look at the big tough guy.” The clown teased
Of course Akaza ignored him cause he’s got self control like that😌
You two were walking away from the clown until he made a comment
“Oh I see you got a nice looking s/o with you. I would love to take them on a date.”
Yeah all self control out the window
Akaza walked straight up to the dunk booth and paid the vendor
“Come on big guy. Lemme take your lovely s/o on a date.”
Akaza smiled at the clown before hitting the target sending the other in the water
When Akaza came back you laughed
“Seems he got under your skin~”
“I can’t stand assholes like him.”
“Haha my hero.” You say giving him a kiss as a reward
Nakime
Dates with her are somewhat difficult
Don’t get her wrong, regardless of what you pick she’ll love it
But you really wish she would have some input sometimes
But that aside, stay home dates are more her style
Cuddling on the couch watching a movie, cooking together, self care nights?
The whole package
Absolutely loves when you play with her hair
Makes her soft
Lo-fi music played in the background as you typed away on your computer
Nakime, who just got out the shower, got behind you resting her head on your shoulder
“Rough day?” All she did was hum a yes
“You know what that means~” You turned around hugging her tightly
“Self care night!” She let out a soft chuckle at your antics
Hantengu
Like Kokushibo, his ideal date would be someplace quiet
But with less people
So he always has weird places to take you
There was this bookstore in this part of town very little people knew about
Or rooftop cafe that served your drinks in the strangest cups
Your favorite thing is when he find small events to take you to
“Sweetheart...I found this new cafe. Would you like to go with me?”
“Of course I will!”
The cafe was a little bigger than the ones you usually went to but not by much
There were plants everywhere, chairs were shaped like teacup mugs, and there were teddy bears of different sizes at each table
“Tengu this is adorable”
“It makes me happy you like it” He gave your hand a soft squeeze before deciding to head to the counter
Gyokko
He’d probably take you to an art museum
Since he himself is an artist he goes there to analyze insult the art pieces
“My art looks way better than whatever this is”
He said that about the Mona Lisa….THE MONA LISA
I actually see him to be a really respected artist in the art world
So he’s constantly being invited to art galleries
Of course he brings you along
Before you two met he went alone and got bored really quickly
None of the art truly caught his eye
But with you there?
He has the absolute time of his life
You two were staring at a painting
“...what is it supposed to be?” You asked tilting your head
“It’s fucking atrocious that’s what it is.”
You laughed at your boyfriend’s comment
The artist having overheard you two didn’t like the comments you were making
He was so fed up he went right up to your boyfriend
“You don’t know the first thing about art. How would you know what looks good?”
Already knowing where this was going you unhooked your arm from your boyfriend
“How would I know? Anyone with eyes can see that this doesn’t deserve to be here. These brush strokes aren’t even going the same way and you have the audacity to yell at me for not knowing anything about art?!”
(please know I know nothing about art so I’m sorry if I offended anyone🥲)
The artist having been embarrassed in front of everyone quickly exited the room
Gyokko wrapped his arm around your waist again smiling
“Ready to go love?”
Kaigaku
Dates with Kaigaku will either be super chill or chaotic
He once took you both to a rage room
It may or may not have ended with either of you crying
Another time he took you to paint pottery
It really depends on how he’s feeling that day
Tonight was going to be a chill night though
You two were laying on a mountain cuddled up on a blanket staring at the stars
“Babe look it’s orion.”
After a few seconds of him not saying anything you raised your brow “Babe?”
You looked over to see him staring at you
“Sorry I was just looking at the prettiest star ever”
You laughed at his horrible pickup line and pecked his forehead
“Thanks babe.”
Gyutaro
(ah the love of my life)
He’s not a guy who would take you to an extravagant restaurant or to walk around in a crowd
Unless that’s really want you want of course
Even then it would take a lot of convincing
You know that he doesn’t see himself that highly
(no baby you’re literally perfect please don’t talk down on yourself🥺)
He would much rather stay at his/your house and vibe
But if you REALLY REALLY want to go out he’ll arrange something
He has a spot he goes to that overlooks the city
It lets him forget his responsibilities for a while
Gyutaro: i’m outside get dressed
You raised your brow at the text but got dressed regardless
Outside he was waiting next to his motorcycle staring at the sky
“Sooo what’re we doing?”
“It’s a surprise. Here.”
He held out one of his hoodies and a helmet
You two drove for about 30 minutes before he stopped on a cliff
“We’re here.”
You walked up to the edge in awe
“Taro it’s….it’s amazing”
He hummed wrapping his arms around you resting his head on your shoulder
Yeah this is all he could ask for
Daki
Did someone say parties?
She 100% sees going to parties together as dates
I mean you get to see her in an amazing outfit
Who wouldn’t want to see that?
Now if this is your scene then there’s nothing to fix
If it’s not you’re going to have to explain that to her
You would probably take her to a flea market
Daki look around the building in utter disgust
“What the fuck? Why are we here?”
“Babe please just trust me.” You gave her a soft smile
Remembering this was supposed to be a 'date' she begrudgingly goes along with it
First you take her to the food section
She’s never seen food like this before so she’s a little hesitant
“...what is that?”
“It’s ox tail. Try it.” Hesitant she ate a piece and omg she absolutely loved it
You walk around some more until you get to the section with the perfume and jewelry
She’s absolutely amazed. They are so many different sizes with different colors.
“I want them all.”
“Babe no-”

this is eldorado valentine’s day special but it can be read as a standalone. enjoy! xx
Spending Valentine's Day in the city of Paris is like walking through the streets of Beijing and smelling the strong essence of soy sauce and chicken every time you take a breath.
Overwhelming.
(Or at least that's what you think is a good comparison, since you've never stood your foot in Beijing before.)
Paris seems to be on another level when it comes to celebrating Valentine's Day. It's because that's the city of love, someone may say, but no, my friend, it's not just that. French grammar isn't the only stupid thing about said country. Citizens are even weirder, in more ways than one. It's the Eiffel Tower and the smell of garlic that disguises it all when you first visit France.
A week before February 14th, restaurants, cafees and grocery shops are all covered from head to toe in red hearts, chubby cupids, big teddy bears, various kinds of roses and, at the top of that – everywhere you focus your eyes on, you spot those huge inscriptions where words ‘love’ and ‘I love you’ are spelled in hundred different types of swirly fonts.
It's all too kitschy for your liking but tourists and locals don’t actually mind it even a bit. Once a year Paris turns into a set of the most cliché rom-com and no matter how irksome it might feel, you just have to survive this festival of boofonery.
You've always despised Valentine's Day with every fiber of your being (mostly because you hadn’t had anyone you could actually spend this day with) but your judgement took a sharp three-sixty turn when certain blond, charismatic man entered your life. Now, while you’re happily taken, a romantic dinner and a bouquet of red roses don’t sound that bad.
But when you're dating someone like Park Jimin, a smart-ass, cocky and obnoxiously good-looking archeologist, you can be sure of abosultely nothing.
It's a little past ten, you’re laying in your king-size bed, a day before the actual Valentine's Day. Jimin informed you he was going to be late for dinner because of some extra paperwork he had to do in the office, so you patiently wait for him. Wrapped like a fancy Christmas gift in a new pair of flimsy, lacy lingerie you recently bought in Victoria’s Secret, all hidden underneath Jimin's baggy t-shirt (the combination of casual and slutty never fails to drive him crazy). The set is cute, in a baby pink colour. The last time you pulled a move like this, Jimin went hard, literally and lyrically.
Let's just say that Park Jimin (and his dick) likes high-quality underwear.
Dating Jimin has taught you a few things, one of them being that his sex drive is insatiable, so you always need to be prepared. That’s why you're now laying here, on your bed, freshly shaved and smelling of coconut, your precious pussy ready to be worshipped by Jimin's mouth.
When you hear the familiar jingle of keys and the door to your apartment swings open, you squeal in excitement, grabbing your phone from the nightstand to scroll through it mindlessly so you don’t come across a girl whose only purpose in life is to get dicked down by her boyfriend.
(Which, right now, is your only purpose.)
“Babe, I’m home!”
You hear Jimin pulling off his shoes and coat, so you shout back, “I’m in the bedroom!”
He seemed to be in a good mood in the morning and if nothing's changed, you're positive about getting some action tonight. A well-deserved orgasm after work it's all you crave. You squeeze your thighs, and wait.
“God, I’m so fucking exhausted.” Jimin announces upon entering the room and as soon as those words leave his mouth, he collapses face down onto the bed. His lifeless corpse smells like sweat mixed with his usual cologne and you wrinkle your nose in disgust.
And that’s on getting railed by your boyfriend tonight.
“Hi, sweetheart,” he murmurs after a moment, voice laced with tiredness. He grunts and lifts himself up to place a chaste kiss on your lips. He tastes like bitter coffee and it makes you cringe, but you kiss him back nonetheless. He pulls off too fast for your liking and nuzzles his head in the crook of your neck instead. He cuddles into your side, mumbling something about you feeling warm.
In your head, you count. When was the last time you two had sex? Right, last Tuesday. Oh boy, what a night it was. Your ass still hurts a little while sitting on a chair, a byproduct of your boyfriend's palm landing smack after smack on your cheeks. Lesson learned: never smile too broadly to the waiter who blatantly flirsts with you. You're sure the whole appartment complex heard that night who makes you feel that good
(As if they don’t already know.)
See? Park Jimin is unpredictable.
“How was work?’’ you decide to ask instead, clearing your thoughts from the inappropriate images of Jimin’s bare body pressed to yours as he fucked you that night. You thread your fingers through his blond locks just the way he likes, massaging his scalp.
He sighs, his words muffled when he speaks. “This new employee can’t do shit. I had to prepare everything before tomorrow's expedition by myself,” he says. “I have to tell Namjoon to fire his ass.”
You falter your movements for a second. Right, the expedition. You completely forgot about it. Jimin's going to be out of town for the whole day, digging in the soil in some French village the name of you cannot pronounce.
It looks like your fancy lingerie has to wait for her big premiere a little longer.
“What time are you planning to be back home?” you ask.
“Dunno. Probably late.” Jimin exhales loudly, his breath tickling your neck. His hand travels to your nude thigh, giving it a firm squeeze. You fight back a moan that threatens to spill from you mouth. You really need to get laid soon. “We set off at 6am.” he adds, tracing circles on your bare skin. Your smile drops.
So the plans for morning sex on Valentine's Day stay where they belong. In your dreams.
“You're so soft. And you smell like coconuts. I could stay like this forever.” Jimin mumbles, circling your waist with his arms and pulling you even closer to him.
You sigh, basking in this situation just for a while, stroking Jimin's hair and listening to his steady breathing until he eventually falls asleep. Still fully clothed, still with his hand on your thigh. Carefully, so you don’t wake him up, you get up from the bed to take off your underwear. You do feel a little disappointed, but it's okay.
When you settle yourself on the bed next to Jimin again, your back facing him, a strong arm pulls you flush to his body. You hear him sighing with relief, and it makes you smile to yourself.
Lights off, everything can wait for tomorrow.
In the morning, just like expected, you wake up alone. There's no sight of Jimin, his side of the bed empty and cold. For your dismay, there’s no bouquet of red roses waiting for you in the kitchen, no box of chocolates or a small, cheesy note with your name written on it. Not even a short “Happy Valentine's Day, baby!” text on your phone. Absolutely nothing.
You tells yourself it’s fine. Maybe Jimin didn’t have enough time, maybe he was too occupied with expedition to prepare something special, maybe the big surprise is yet to come. However, you can’t quite shake off the feeling that something do seem odd and it makes you anxious. Leaving without a single text is not Jimin's style. Not when it's your first Valentine's Day spend together.
You probably shouldn’t worry that much. It's not a big deal, after all you hate those types of annual holidays and Jimin knows it. Yet something about the whole situation makes you uncontrollably uneasy. You have never been like this, vulnerable and sheepish. You hate Park Jimin for turning you into such a softie.
Walking through the streets of Paris makes you feel nauseous. You look at all the happy couples sucking each others’ faces for everyone to see and fight an urge to gag. Someone shouts “Love is in the air!” and you almost throw up. Everytime you see someone holding heart-shaped balloons or flowers, you whip your head in other direction. It's nothing, you keep reminding yourself. A stupid holiday that doesn’t mean anything at all.
But the actual nail to the coffin happens to be the atmosphere in Eldorado headquarters. It drives you absolutely crazy.
It's 12am and still no word from Jimin. You checked: this bastard was online one hour ago, so he just doesn’t want to talk to you. Fine, mister. If this is how you wanna play, try sucking your dick by yourself, beacuse I’m not getting near it anytime soon, you think to yourself, filled with rage.
Yeri wiggles her pretty eyebrows at you and asks about your plans for tonight. You fake a giggle, saying that Jimin will probably surprise you with something when he gets back from his expedition. The words taste bitter on your tongue, especially when the high hopes you had simply melted away this morning. Your friend then starts babbling about the restaurant she's going to with Jungkook after work and you listen to her rant with forced smile on your face the whole time.
Meanwhile, a few meters away from you Hoseok is giggling like a teenager, typing something on his phone, without a doubt (sex)texting his girlfriend. She's out of town and you’re more than sure Hoseok hasn't gone to bathroom ten minutes ago just to take a piss. Even Namjoon is in a pleasant mood today, humming some old ABBA hits under his breath. Yesterday he couldn’t shut up about his date with a girl who’s also his new neighbour. He met her when she came by to give him homemade croissants. Ironically, that sounds a lot like some kdrama lovestory to you, and Namjoon hates kdramas.
During lunch time, you scroll through your Instagram and almost slam your phone on the wall. There's a new photo uploaded on Kim Seokjin's account.
kimseokjin92: Celebrating Valentine's Day on Maldives w @minsuga #couplegoals #boyfriends #valentinesday #loveislove
They are on fucking Maldives. Fucking Maldives! You grit your teeth. It's fine. Completely fine.
But the absolute peek, the moment when you almost break down into tears and curl yourself into a ball of misery, comes in the person of Jeon Jungkook. He enters the office with a bouquet of the most beautiful red roses you have ever seen, a huge grin plastered on his stupid face.
Your heart clenches in your chest. Park Jimin could never.
Jungkook hands Yeri the flowers and she laughs, slapping his chest when he starts declaiming Romeo's monologue from the Shakespeare’s tragedy. He then kisses his girlfriend deeply and lovingly, making her cheeks flush in crimson. Hoseok coos at them, Namjoon following him. You swear you saw Jungkook's tongue in the process of said heavy make out session.
(Jealously is an awful emotion, you've decided a long time ago.)
An hour later, the bouquet stands proudly on Yeri’s desk and you stare at it with melancholy. You briefly avert your gaze to Jimin's desk and the memories flash before your eyes. The same desk he had you bent over, skirt bunched around your waist and cock drilling into your pussy, when you both stayed together at work after hours not so long ago.
You mentally slap yourself. Get your shit together, woman. It's not like he broke up with you. It's just some stupid holiday. It's nothing.
“Something's wrong?’’ Yeri asks you with genuine concern written on her face.
You swallow, forcing yourself to smile. “No, everything's fine. Just a headache.”
She eyes you suspiciously. “You sure?”
“Yeah.” you say. Even though your friend doesn’t look convinced, she eventually stops bothering you.
It's all good. My boyfriend forgot about our first Valentine's Day together but everything's alright. No worries, you want to say instead.
Later that day, when you exit the elevator and walk straight to your apartment, a strange smell of something burning fills your nostrils. Is that food? A real fire? No, that's definitely some meat that stayed too long in the oven.
The closer you are, the smell becomes stronger, like it’s actually coming from your apartment. You furrow your eyebrows.
“What the fuck.” you mutter to yourself.
When you open the door, your jaw falls slack, eyes wide like saucers.
Never, in your entire life, had you thought you would see Park Jimin, your own dearest boyfriend, popping out from the kitchen with his hair disheveled, sweat coating his forehead, wearing a black suit underneath the most ridiculous apron you have ever seen: pink with a big-ass ‘mr good lookin is cookin' written in the middle.
(Can someone remind you why are you dating him? Oh, thank God he isn’t naked underneath.)
He looks completely lost when he spots you, waving awkwardly in your direction. It's probably the first time he touched something in the kitchen that isn’t coffee machine. He’s so flustered that you almost forget he nearly turned your apartment into ashes.
“Hi, babe.” he says sheepishly.
It takes all the willpower you hold not to spit a lung watching your boyfriend who absolutely hates cooking, trying to look unimpressed by the smell of burnt food. He does a pretty poor job though, an apron not helping in the situation.
“Happy Valentine's Day!’’ he exclaims perhaps a bit too enthusiastically, approaching you and planting a kiss on your cheek. And after that, you burst into hysterical laughter.
(Seriously, you almost lose your own breath three times.)
Jimin looks terrified but most importantly – put out. You’re probably hurting his enormous, almost the size of Russia pride right now. (Not your fault Jimin has the biggest praise kink on the planet.)
“Why are you laughing? Is it because of the chicken? Fine, I can’t cook for shit but I tried, okay? I didn’t have enough time and it was the middle of the night in Korea so I couldn’t just facetime my mum for advice and-”
You interrupt his rambling with a searing kiss, effectively shutting him up. He falters for a moment but quickly catches up, pulling you closer to him, placing his hands on your waist and deepening the kiss.
But then, when his about to trail kisses down your throat, you hit his arm.
“What was that for?!” Jimin yelps, looking at you with astonishment.
“I thought you fucking forgot about the Valentine’s Day!” you yell, slapping his chest. “Why didn't you tell me about this?!”
“Because the definition of surprise says you can’t reveal it sooner?” he reponds in a mocking tone.
“Oh, shut up.” you grumble and pull him in for another kiss. You could feel him smiling into it, cheekily biting onto your lower lip. He places a loving peck on your forehead and brushes the strands of your hair behind your ears. There's so much affection in his eyes you could melt into a puddle right here and there.
“I’m sorry. Jungkook told me you looked upset the whole day.” he whispers.
“I wasn't!” you protest.
“He told me you almost cried when he gave Yeri a bouquet of red roses.”
This stupid brat.
You look up at Jimin. “Fine. I was mad. And sad. Everyone was having the time of their lives and here I was, on a verge of mental breakdown because my idiot of a boyfriend supposedly forgot about the Valentine's Day.” you say, crossing your arms over chest with a pout.
Jimin rolls his eyes and takes your hand, leading you to the living room, where a bottle of (your absolute favourite) wine is standing on the table, along with candles and, yes, red roses. It's too cheesy and straight from the cringy rom-coms but you don't mind, because it's Jimin and he poured his heart into this and it's all that matters.
When he approaches you again, he isn’t wearing that stupid apron and you blush at how perfect he looks, almost painfully handsome. His hair needs a cut so it’s pushed back from his forehead. God reincarnated in the form of a smart, cocky archeologist who happens to be your boyfriend.
You're, well, in your black jeans and baby blue sweater and you probably stink, but Jimin assures you with his loving touches he doesn’t mind, never will. He always does that, looking at you with those sparkling eyes which say you're the most beautiful thing in the world for him.
And it doesn't matter how many times you scold him throughout the day, how many banters you have over silly things, because at the end of the day, in each others’ embraces, it feels like home for the both of you.
“Since the chicken chickened out,” Jimin says nonchalantly, filling your glasses with red wine. “We can always get drunk and watch some old romantic movies.”
You smirk. “You cried the last time when we watched ‘When Harry met Sally’.”
Jimin clicks his tongue. “Don't test my patience, sweetheart or you won't get the presents.” he warns.
You raise your eyebrows. You hope one of them comes in the form of his dick. Suddenly, you’re reminded of your lingerie set, so you make a mental note to wear it after the shower. “Can I see those presents now?” you ask, looking at Jimin with pleading eyes. It's exactly three seconds till he softens.
“Fine.” he mutters and heads to the bedroom.
When he comes back, he’s not alone. Literally not alone, because he's caring the most hilarious Valentine’s present you could ever think of. A giant, white teddy bear, almost in the size of him, heart-shaped balloons attached to his right paw.
“This is,” Jimin whips his head to read the name on the bear's chest. “Ted.”
You blink. “You bought me a teddy bear named Ted?”
Jimin opens his mouth to say some witty comment but he stops when he hears you sob. “Baby, sweetheart, what's wrong?” He kneels in front of you, the bear long forgotten on the floor. You burst into tears and Jimin tries to calm you down, rubbing soothing circles on your thighs.
Once you eventually stop crying and regain your normal breathing, you wipe your tear-strained cheeks and look down at your very much worried boyfriend. “You are an idiot, Park Jimin. A fucking idiot. That teddy bear is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen and I should humiliate you for giving me that but...” You take a deep breath. “But I can’t. Because I fucking love you, dumbass.”
The corners of Jimin lips lift in amusement but you’re clearly not done with your little speech, so he waits until you finish. “You organized the most cliché date ever. You read all the Grey's books. You can’t cook for shit and this stupid apron you wore? God have mercy,” You visibly cringe. “You declaim Greek philosophers when you shower. Fuck, you persuaded me to do teacher-student roleplay and I kept calling you daddy during the whole thing because you asked me to. You are everything I despise but at the same time I love you so much,” you say, tears once again welling in your eyes. “I’m sorry I’m telling you this now, even though I've realised this a long time ago.”
Jimin’s silent, so unlike him, declaring his emotions with a huge grin this time. He stands up and picks your body into his arms. You wrap your legs around his waist as he walks you both to your bedroom. He places you gingerly onto the mattress, hovering over your figure.
(Your fancy lingerie can wait for another occasion.)
“I love you too, ___.” he says, staring into your eyes. “You’re making me the happiest man in this world.”
You roll your eyes, however there’s no use for that because your cheeks are already tainted red. “Oh, stop being such a sap.”
He smirks. “You love when I’m like this.”
“That is, in fact, not true.”
You’re lying and he knows it, but he always lets you banter with him like this anyway.
“Then what do you want me to be today?” he asks, his hands travel down to your zipper, then pull down your jeans. “Sweet? Loving?” He helps you take off your sweater and you’re left with nothing on beside your underwear. “Or do you want me to be rough? Push you around and fuck you stupid?” You gulp, your attitude successfully shut down. “Come on, use your words.”
Somehow, you manage to gain your composure. “Want you to take off your clothes first.”
Jimin chuckles, lowly and with a promise of more to come if you’re patient and behaving well, according to his commands. “You’re not the one to give orders here, baby.” he retorts. Then, he’s gripping your knees, pulling your legs apart and putting your pussy on full display for him.
There’s already a dark, wet patch forming on your grey panties and he tsks disapprovingly. “You’re wet and I haven’t even touched you yet. You want it that much, huh?”
You nod. “Please, touch me.”
“Try again.”
So he’s in that mood today. You’ve explored a fair share of kinks with Jimin so far and what you know for sure is that he always takes the leading role in bed. He likes to dominate, be the one in charge, railing you into the mattress until you’re crying out so loud your neighbours are banging on your walls.
You slip into your role naturally, your usual confident behaviour gone and replaced with timidity. He relishes in seeing you like this, helpless and vulnerable, a stark contrast to how you act on daily basis.
Jimin pins you with his dark stare and you give in. ‘”Yes, sir.”
“Good girl.”
He rewards you with a feather-like touch of his fingers on your pussy. He finds your clit with ease, rubbing it with practiced strokes until more juices drip down from your hole, wetting your panties embarrassingly fast. Your legs shake with want for more, to feel him sink his digits knuckle-deep into your cunt and finger you like he did that one time in a bathroom on your flight to Japan.
He doesn’t seem the slightest bothered with your state, ignoring your pleading eyes and wanton moans. He hasn’t even taken off your underwear yet and you’re already on the verge of an orgasm.
Jimin knows your body inside and out, probably better than you do, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to you that he can sense when you’re about to climax. He withdraws his hand from your center seconds before your release. You can’t help but huff with annoyance.
“Something's wrong, babygirl?” he asks, saccharine-sweet and annoyingly innocent.
Your retort dies on your tongue the moment he decides to unbutton his white dress shirt. You’re too distracted with delicious lines of his sculpted chest to complain about your denied pleasure anymore. Your hands itch to touch him but you stay immobile, devouring him with your eyes instead.
Jimin notices you're staring and smirks. “Like what you see?”
You nod. “Yes, sir.”
He then stands up from the bed and motions for you to come closer. You oblige without an ounce of confusion, crawling until you’re sitting on your heels in front of him. It’s a rather humiliating position but you can’t help but feel the rush of adrenaline in your veins when he cups your chin and tilts your head up.
“Take off my pants.”
You rush to obey, unbuckling his belt with shaky hands because you know what’s coming next once his pants are pulled down. He’s already hard, the prominent bulge of his cock straining in his briefs.
“Now my underwear.”
You nearly moan out loud when his cock slaps his abdomen, mouth salivating to take him in deep but you don’t dare touch him without a directed instruction. He makes sure your eyes are on him and starts stroking himself, spreading the precum all over his length, hissing when his thumb rubs the sensitive head of his cock.
Jimin groans, low and throaty, and you whimper quietly in response. “What, baby? You want my cock that much?” he asks, his left palm cupping your cheek. You whisper a meek “Please” and he chuckles. “Come on then. Show me what that slutty mouth of yours can do. Open up.”
Your lips part on command and you nearly moan when he guides his cock into your mouth. You’ve sucked Jimin's dick enough times to know what he likes, what brings him to the edge quicker than hitting the back of your throat. You lick the tip of his cock, eyes darting to check his reaction and, just as you expected, his features twist in pleasure.
You relish in a minute or two of the control you have over him before he grows bored with your teasing and decides to fuck your mouth instead. But for now, you make sure to have him suffer a little for that stunt he pulled earlier when he didn’t make you come.
You take him deeper, hollowing your cheeks for extra stimulation. Your hands reach to fondle his balls and you smirk around his cock when you hear a groan leave Jimin's mouth. “Good girl,” he murmurs, stroking your cheek. You lean into his touch, moaning at the praise. “My pretty slut.”
The first hit on the back of your throat makes you gag because fuck, is he big. The only thing bigger than Jimin's ego seems to be his dick, apparently. When he threads fis fingers through your hair you know what’s about to come; jaw relaxed, saliva dripping down from the corners of your mouth, you’re ready to be ruined.
He withdraws, giving you exactly five seconds to breathe and then pushes forcefully inside. Your mind is filled with mental images of him giving your pussy the same treatment later. You would whimper at the thought, if your mouth wasn’t stuffed full of dick. Instead, you give your best, swallowing every inch of him obediently.
“That’s it,” he rasps, clamping one hand on the back of your neck for better leverage. “You’re doing so good, baby.” When he nudges the back of your throat again, you feel him throb. He pulls away from the warmth of your mouth seconds later, panting heavily. He falls back onto the bed and pats his thighs. “Come here.”
You scoot closer to him and crawl onto his lap. He smiles at you from below, pulling you in for a kiss. The hands he previously gripped your waist with now travel upwards, unhooking your bra. Your hips unconsciously move, pussy gliding along the flexed muscles of his thigh.
Jimin notices your desperate attempt at getting some friction on your most sensitive parts and helps you rock your hips. He moves your panties to the side and you moan, felling the delicious pressure on your bare center. He’s watching with amusement as you’re falling apart on his thigh, thumb reaching to rub your clit. You cry out, climaxing so hard you’re almost seeing stars behind your closed eyelids.
He keeps helping you ride out your high until you’re whimpering from the overstimulation. “Did you like it?” he then asks, urging you to look at him. ���You were so desperate to come, sweetheart. Fucking yourself on my thigh like a bitch in heat,” You whine instead of responding, earning a harsh smack on your ass. “Use your words.”
Another slap lands on your cheek and you mewl. “Yes, I loved it, sir.”
He chuckles, maneuvering your body so you’re now positioned over his cock. He gives your ass a firm squeeze and you whimper, arousal dripping down the inside of your thighs despite orgasming just minutes ago. “Ride me, baby.” he says.
You hurry to obey, guiding his cock inside you. It's a tight fit but your wetness makes it smoother to push him deeper. “So big,” you mumble, bottoming out. You know damn well Jimin likes to be praised and if the smirk that stretches on his lips is anything to go by, he enjoys what you just said. “That feels so good, sir.” You start moving your hips languidly.
“Yeah?” Jimin quips, hands gripping your waist so tightly it almost makes the skin bruise. “Then show me what a good girl you are for me. Fuck, look at you. You’re so hot.” His palms cup your breasts, thumbs stroking your nipples.
You keen at the praise and quicken your pace. Your thighs start to burn but you ignore that, bouncing on your boyfriend’s dick like there’s no tomorrow. The room is filled with lewd noises, skin slapping on skin. Jimin looks down, staring at his cock coated in your juices as it disappears inside your hole. He curses at the sight.
Your legs start to shake, huffs leaving your lips. “Sir–please,” you whine, feeling yourself getting closer to the edge.
“What do you need, babygirl?” he asks, pinching your nipples. You squeal, your pace losing its previous rhythm.
“I’m so close.” you stammer. “Please–touch me.”
“Where you do you want me to touch you, baby?” He ignores your whimpers, the way your pussy keeps squeezing his cock in a vice grip. “Here?” He touches your tits again and you shake your head violently. “Or here–” His fingers find your clit and you cry out loudly. You feel so full, his cock hits your cervix every time you drop down onto him.
“Yes, yes,” you chant, mouth wide open and eyes squeezed shut. You probably look right now like a professional porn star but you couldn’t care less, not when you’re so close to the climax. “Sir–fuckfuckfuck, please!”
“There you go,” Jimin coos, circling your sensitive bud with his thumb. “Come for me, baby.”
You’re gushing around his dick, arousal leaking out of your hole and coating his thighs with your release. Your upper body gives out and you collapse onto Jimin, your cunt pulsing from the intense pleasure you’ve just experienced.
“Oh god,” you mumble. “I just saw the answer to the whole universe.”
You feel Jimin's chest shaking with laughter and when you look up, you find him grinning at you. “That good?”
“That good.” you confirm, sighing tiredly.
“Are you okay?” You hear him asking. No matter how much he likes to push you around and fuck until you’re seeing stars, he always makes sure if you’re feeling comfortable to continue.
You spare him a nod. “You know I can handle it,” you say, lifting yourself up. “I’m a tough girl, right?” Despite the oversensitivity, you start rocking your hips again. “M-made for you.”
Jimin smirks. “Yeah, made for me,” he confirms and slaps your ass. Your pussy flatters around his cock. “Not like this,” he mutters and turns you onto your back with one, swift motion. “Much better.”
You pout. “You didn’t like it when I was riding your cock, sir?” You’re bluffing, but a girl can her fun too.
He clicks his tongue, guiding his cock through your folds again. “Oh, baby, I was enjoying it very much,” he says, picking up his speed. Your legs wrap around his waist, pulling him even closer. “But now I want it harder.”
He fucks you just like he likes the most; fast and rough, unforgiving. He leans down for a messy kiss that’s all teeth tongue and his eyes nearly bulge out of his head when he sees his saliva dripping down your chin.
(He decides right here and there that he might wanna explore his newfound fantasy soon.)
Soon you’re feeling the coil in your stomach tightening for the second time, embarrassingly quickly so. You moan, cunt squeezing around his dick. “Again?” Jimin asks, voice laced with both mirth and disbelief. Tears well in your eyes and you give him a nod. “Such a fucking slut.” he spits, slithering himself into you even faster than before.
Your third and final orgasm is so powerful and sudden, it nearly makes you black out. Jimin curses, fucking you through it. “Kiss me,” you whimper deliriously and he obliges, slipping his tongue inside your mouth. “I love you.” you whisper into his lips and that’s what sends him over the edge.
“I love you, I love you–fuck.” he groans and spills himself inside, coating your pussy with his seed.
He collapses next you, chest heaving with every exhale. Your legs feel like jelly and you know you’ll have trouble walking tomorrow. Just when you’re about to tell Jimin to call in sick and spend the whole day in bed instead, he suddenly sits up.
“Wait, I forgot I have another present for us.” he says, rushing to pick something up from underneath the bed.
You sigh, pinching the bridge of your nose. “Jimin, I swear to God, if you bought us matching t-shirts–”
He grins like a child, showing you two white pillows, the most basic ones you could ever think of, with ‘his side’ and ‘her side' written on them. It's cringy and ridiculous and you fight an urge to punch him, but you don't.
Because it's Jimin and you will never complain about it.
Because you love him. And that's all that matters.

THE ONE (Frankie Morales x Reader)
THE ONE
Frankie Morales x Reader
Summary: Since seeing Frankie Morales, you can't seem to get him out of your mind and old feelings start to arise. While out on a lunch date with your finance, you run into him again.
Warning: Mild Swearing
Words: 2388
Author Note: I’ve been in my Frankie feels lately. It hurts.
CH 1 | CH 2
Chapter 2
2011
“You’re leaving?” You stood in the doorway. You were confused watching Frankie run around your shared bedroom collecting his belongings.
“Yeah, I am.” he stuffs clothes into his tan large tactical bag and a duffle that sat at the foot of your guys' bed. He must have been called out again, that's why he’s quickly trying to pack.
“Oh… I didn’t know you were called back out, why didn't you-”
“I wasn't called back.” he cut you off.
“...okay, so what's all this then?” You motion to his bags. “Where are you going?...”
He didn’t answer you. He just kept packing his things. He zipped his tactical bag, putting it on his back and slinging the duffle over his shoulder. Frankie walked over to the dresser picking up his hat, placing his hat on his head, and grabbing the keys to his truck.
He walked past you, heading out of the room and into the living.
“Frankie, What is going on?!” You laugh in as you call after him. You had no idea what was happening and what he was doing.
“You have a camping trip with Santiago and the boys? If that's the case-” You enter the living room finding Frankie standing a few feet from the dooring staring at you. You couldn’t read his expression. Just a deadpan look took over the soft and happy face he usually had. Something was wrong.
“Frankie?” you furrowed your eyebrows at him.
“I’m done. We’re done,” he says bluntly.
You were taken back. “W-what?” was all you managed to say after he dropped an unexpected bomb on you.
“I’m leaving,” he states again.
“Frankie, I’m so confused! Where is this coming from?!” You were in disbelief. You walked over to him, placing a hand on his cheek. Frankie moves his head back, moving away from your touch.
“Frankie…”
“I’m sorry.” He says turning his back on you walking towards the door.
“NO!” You yelled as you dash for the front door. You stood in his way blocking him from leaving. “NO, I’m not letting you up and leave without talking to me first! We're gonna talk about this!”
He sighs. “Move”
“Talk to me. Don’t shut me out. We can just work this out if you just talk to me and tell me what’s wrong...Please...Talk. To. Me.” You pleaded, tears forming in your eyes.
He extends his arms out, swiping you away from the door so he could leave. He walks outside to his parked truck, tossing his bags in the back. You followed close behind, fuming with emotions.
“FRANCISCO MORALES!” You shouted after him. “Like HELL you’re leaving!.”
“I gotta go.”
“So that’s it?! You’re just going to walk out on me, walk away from everything we’ve have and just leave?”
“Pretty much.” He says leaning against the truck, folding his arms across his chest.
“Are you hearing yourself?! Do you even know what you’re saying?! This makes no sense! I’m so confused, hurt, scared and you’re not even going to give me an explanation or try to work it out with me!”
He looks down at the ground, avoiding your burning stare.
“I don’t want this anymore. We’ve run our course.” He stares.
“We’ve run our course? No, Y-you don’t mean that… I-I know you. I know you inside and out. I know your heart. You wouldn’t do this to me”
“You don’t know me. I’ve changed, my feelings have changed.”
You scoffed. “I don't believe you. You’re a fucking coward! Running away like a scared little boy!” Tears streaming down your face.
With that, Frankie stands up and opens the car door. Your eyes widen. He was really going to leave you. Just like that. He starts the engine.
You quickly rush to the divers window. “Frankie, come on you can’t be serious. Frankie-” He reversed the car down the driveway, you following the car.
He was leaving. You started pleading for him to stay, begging even. “Please don’t go! Stay! Don’t go! Don’t leave me! Please, just tell me what I did wrong!” You sobbed as he pulled out the driveway.
“FRANKIE!”
…
“Babe!”
“Hmm?” You snap out of your thoughts.
It's been a few days since you saw Frankie in the parking lot. Since running into him, the night of your break up is constantly replaying in your head. It hasn’t been like this in years. From time to time you thought about that night. What would have happened if he stayed. If he had been willing to work things and not run away. You still had no clue as to why he left you, just the bullshit of an excuse he gave you. You were able to move on past what had happened... at least you thought you had. Seeing him again really set you off. You felt like you were being sucked back into those days of overthinking and analyzing everything.
“How do you like this one?” You and Alex were at a local bakery trying different cake flavors for your wedding cake.
“I don’t like it.” You say pushing the red velvet sample piece away. You weren’t in the mood for this. Frankie was the only thing on your mind lately, and it was driving you insane.
“You, alright?” Alex asked.
“Yeah, I’m a fine sweetie. Why?” You gave him a fake smile.
Alex takes a seat beside you. “You’ve been acting strangely for a couple of days. You seem like you have a lot on your mind.”
You sign, picking up the fork, and start to you with your piece of cake. “I’m just stressed with the few things we have left of the wedding, work, and the fact I ran into fra-” you stopped yourself once you realized what you were going to say.
“When you ran into who?” Alex questions.
You didn’t want to tell Alex you ran into your ex and make it a whole huge thing. “Frankie Morales…” you stab the fork into the cake.
“Who’s that?” You never brought up Frankie to anyone unless it was close family and friends. Alex was your partner but there was no need to bring up Frankie because he was a part of the past. You haven’t told anyone you saw Frankie, not even Santiago, but it is weighing and taking a toll on you. You needed to tell someone.
“An old friend.” Technically you weren’t lying. Frankie was your friend at one point in your life, but he also became more than a friend… a boyfriend...an ex-boyfriend. “We were close when we were kids, but we had a falling out a long time ago, but he recently came back into town.”
“Maybe you could try to reconnecting with them-”
“No!” You quickly shouted. Alex is taken back by your sudden outburst. “No...It was good to see him I guess, but things have changed. We’re different people. It’s not the same as it once was.”
You pick up a different sample cake to distract yourself and move on from the topic. You pick up and have a bite.
“This ones too sweet.”
“I kinda like it.”
“Honey no!” You chuckle.
…
After deciding on your cake flavor, coconut, and design at the bakery flavor, you and Alex headed towards their favorite restaurant for lunch. You were just outside the door when you noticed Frankie walking in your direction. You swear the universe must hate you. You cursed underneath your breath.
“Hey, I’m not so hungry-” as you take Alex’s hand, turning in back around towards the direction you came from.
“Woah what? Come on, this is my favorite-” Alex stops you both from moving.
“Yeah. I think we should just go ho-” You grab Alex’s hand and start dragging them, but you didn’t even take a few steps.
“Hey, Smiles.”
You close your eyes, deeply signing. You turn around slowly. He was still wearing the same casual clothes he always wore and that damn hat.
“Hey...” The three of you awkwardly stand there in silence for a few seconds.
“Sup Man. I’m Alex!” Alex introduces themself, extending his hand to Frankie.
“Ah Smiles’s finance…” Frankie says shaking Alex’s hand. “I’m Frankie.”
“Oh, Frankie Morales! The old friend! Funny you came up in conversation today!”
“Alex!” You say through your teeth.
Frankie cocks his eyebrow at you. “Really? Smiles told you I was coming to the wedding?”
“You invited him to the wedding? I thought-” Alex whispers to you.
“Yeah, I did!- Um, Nice to see you again Frankie, but we really should get going-”
“Frankie, We’re headed to lunch, you wanna join us?” Alex says inviting Frankie.
Alex did NOT just do that. The last thing you wanted was to see Frankie, but having lunch with your ex-boyfriend AND finance? You wanted to crawl into a hole and just die.
You glare at Frankie, your eyes telling him to say no. “Sure, why not.” He smiles.
“Lovely! Frankie, We’ll meet you inside, I need to talk to Alex real quick!” you gave him a fake smile. He said yes on purpose, that fucker. You’d deal with him later, but you needed to deal with Frankie.
Frankie opens the door and heads inside the cafe. You turn to Alex.
“Alex? I don’t want to reconnect with him.” you sigh.
“I mean you invited him to the wedding”
“I didn’t mean to invite him. It just came out-”
“He’s your childhood friend. Maybe it's a good thing that Frankie is back, you can catch up and rekindle your friendship. Life’s too short to be upset with someone.”
You wanted to rekindle NOTHING with Frankie Morales and you had every right to be upset with him after what he did to you. Maybe you should have told Alex that Frankie was your ex, then you wouldn't have been in this predicament.
You huffed.
“Come on, it can't be that bad.”
Oh, Alex, you have no idea, you thought.
…
You were at the restaurant for a while talking about the wedding and random things. Frankie and Alex talked the majority of the time getting to know each other.
“What do you do for a living?”
You toyed with your paper straw in your drink as you listened to Alex and Frankie. You just wished the waitress would come to buy and drop off the check already.
“I’m ex-military, I flew helicopters. Now I just fly doing cargo transports. How about you?” Frankie says picking up a french fry from his meal, dipping it in ketchup, and popping it into his mouth.
“I work for a tech company in the city.” Alex bites into the last of his sandwich. “We were talking about you earlier, they mentioned you knew each other from childhood.”
“Yeah, Smiles and way back.” Frankie chuckles.
“Smiles?” Alex asks, unaware of why Frankie kept calling you that.
“It’s a silly nickname he gave me when we were kids.” You chime in.
“It’s not silly. She always had the biggest smile on her face. Always happy. She was constantly following Santiago and me around. ” He smiles thinking about the simpler times.
“You know Santiago?”
“He’s my best friend. That’s how I met Smiles.”
The gears were turning in Alex’s head. “Hmm, I’m confused as to how I’ve never heard of you. You’ve never been brought up in conversation.”
“Well, Frankie did up and disappear at one point. No one knew where he went for a while.” You sit back in your seat, changing the tone of the conversation. Alex was oblivious to it all, but Frankie knew just what you meant. You both started at each other. Frankie gulping, growing unformattable, adjusting in his seat slightly.
“What? Where you’d go?”
“Yeah, Frankie…Where’d you go?” You cocked your head to the side giving him a questioning and clueless look.
“Here are your check folks!” the waitress comes dropping off the receipt on the table. Of course, the waitress comes at this exact moment.
“I can pay,” Frankie says, picking up the bill.
“What? No, we invited you man-”
“It’s cool. Consider it as an almost getting married gift.” Frankie says gabbing cash out of his wallet and setting it with the bill folder.
“Thank you! I'll be right back. I'm gonna head to the bathroom before we go.” Alex gets up and walks away from the table.
You and Frankie sat there alone.
“Alex seems nice,” Frankie speaks up.
“What are you doing?” you ask him straight up.
“What?”
“Cut the bullshit Frankie” you snapped.
“Woah this is a total change of attitude from when you saw me the other day.” He folds his arms across your chest.
“That was me being in shock. The feeling has since worn off,” you said coldly.
“I was curious and saw the opportunity to see who you’re getting married to Smiles.”
“No. You don’t get to do that! You don’t get to come back into my life pretending everything alright between us because it's not. We are not on friendly terms and never will be. So stop trying to wedge your way in. You left, I’m not letting you back in.” You said sternly.
“Alright. Ready to go?” Alex says walking back over.
“Yeah.” You say getting up out of your seat, Frankie doing the same.
“Nice to meet you, Frankie!”
“Same here.” They shake hands.
“Bye Smiles.”
You look at him with hurt in your eyes. You shake your head and sign. You take Alex’s hands and walk towards the exit.
Frankie stood there watching you and Alex leave. Every day of his life since that night, he regretted leaving you the way that he did. He should have stayed. After years of reflecting on the situation, he realized how completely and utterly stupid he was, but he thought it was the best choice at the time. It was the worst decision he had ever made in his entire life. The number of times he wished he could have gone back to fix things. He would do it in a heartbeat if it meant being with you. He knew owed you an explanation, heck he owed you so much after everything he put you through. He wanted to make things right with you, he needed to make things right with you. He just hopes it isn’t too late to do so.

I Put a Spell on You | KNJ
✹ Summary: Namjoon wanted to find the right time to tell you he was born a warlock, but when a witch casts a time-sensitive spell on you, he may have to confess to you sooner than he anticipated. ✹ Pairing: Warlock!Namjoon x Mortal Female!Reader ✹ Genre: Fluff, warlock au, supernatural au, established relationship ✹ Rating: PG15 ✹ Warnings: Just cursing ✹ Word Count: 4.5k ✹ A/N: Written for @bangtanshadowfamily’s Creatures of Moonlight Manor 🖤 Huge thank you to @spicykoreantatertots for beta’ing this for me and giving me her wonderful feedback 🥰
This GORGEOUS banner and matching divider was made by the super talented Vivi!! @eerieedits / @chillingtae seriously I am so in love with it thank you a million more times. Check out her edits!! 💜
Namjoon had wanted to tell you, he really did. There was just never the right time. He agonized over it for the entirety of your relationship, and now, five years later with marriage on his mind, he has to admit to you that he was born a warlock.
He knew that you hated magic; you made that very clear on your first date. Your mutual best friend set you two up, who knew what Namjoon was and knew how you felt.
“I think you two could hit it off, but you may not have much of a chance with her,” he remembers Yoongi telling him. “She hates magic and everything related to it.”
“But you’re a literal vampire, and she’s friends with you!”
“Yeah, but I’m not magical. I’m different.”
Namjoon rolled his eyes and waved it off, but still didn’t mention what he was to you when you first met. That turned out to have been for the best after he learned more about you.
Being born the only person in your family in a decade with no magical abilities made you develop a hatred for all things and people related to witchcraft. Your family did their best not to exclude you from magic related games at family reunions and get-togethers and would try not to talk too heavily about it when you were around, but you always stood out like a sore thumb. You have a self-proclaimed chip on your shoulders that seemed to lessen over the years he’s known you but was still there.
Now, you’re coming up on your fifth anniversary, and Namjoon has an engagement ring burning a hole in his sock drawer because he’s ready to propose to you, but he can’t spend the rest of his life with you without telling you the truth. He loves you more than he’s ever loved anyone, but the idea of telling you he’s a warlock and having you leave him is terrifying.
Yoongi gets to hear all of his worries and woes anytime he’s over at the vampire’s apartment.
“Do you even know how you’re going to propose?” Yoongi asks as he scrolls through Netflix for the third time.
“Yeah, there’s a meteor shower on the night of our anniversary. We’re going to pack some food and head to the river to watch it, and I’m going to ask her then.”
Yoongi snorts. “Oh yeah, I forgot that you’re both nerds.” He dodges the throw pillow that Namjoon hurls at him. “So, just tell her when you propose.”
“Why, so she can tell me to go to fuck off and reject me?”
“Namjoon, I highly doubt she’ll do that. I’ve known Y/n since high school, and you’re the only person that she’s been with that she’s ever been in love with. Like genuine love.”
“Yeah, but you know her temper. Love or not, her anger knows no bounds.” Yoongi agrees, a memory of a time when he accidentally ate some of your leftover food coming to mind, and you made sure he suffered for a week straight after.
“Well, your anniversary is in like a week and a half, so you better figure it out. It may make her mad, but I truly think she loves you too much to leave you.”
Namjoon does his best to keep that in mind as the week goes on.
With your anniversary being on Sunday, you and Namjoon take Friday off of work so you can have a three day weekend together. Determined to pamper you before he tells you the truth, he takes you to one of your favorite restaurants for brunch to start the day.
As he’s holding the door open for you, a slender, dark-haired woman breezes past you and waltzes into the cafe, succeeding in cutting you both off and getting in line before you. The expression on your face already tells Namjoon how this interaction will go.
“You know what’s rude,” you say once you’re both in line behind the woman. You’re speaking loud enough for her to hear but not loud enough to cause a scene. “Seeing someone who’s clearly holding a door open for the person they’re with and just inserting yourself in the way.”
“Y/n…” Namjoon starts. Normally he loves your fiery, no-nonsense attitude, but he’s always telling you there’s a time and place for everything. His gut is telling him this is not one of the times.
“I’m just saying. To cut someone off who’s about to go into a building is just a really dick move.”
The woman in front of you whips her head around, her sharp eyes are staring you down, but of course, you are unwavering. She’s wearing dress pants and an expensive-looking blouse. She has a name tag on a lanyard around her neck that reads ‘Seulgi.’
“Is there a problem?” Annoyance clear in her tone.
“Yeah, there is. My boyfriend was holding the door open for me, and you just rudely cut us off to come inside.” The woman eyes you up and down.
“Oh well. I’m sure you can survive without your waffles for a little longer,” she shrugs and turns away from the two of you. Namjoon watches your jaw clench.
“Wow, what a bitch,” you mumble, knowing fully well she can hear you. Seulgi turns again, scowling at you.
“Watch who you’re talking to, girl. I could snap my fingers right now, and your mouth would disappear.”
You let out a sharp laugh and glance towards Namjoon. “Oh, great! This bitch is a witch!” You turn back to the witch, hands on your hips. “You magic losers think you can get away with whatever you want to just because you can wave your stupid fingers and make shit happen. I’m not afraid of you just because you were born different.”
The witch’s eyes dart from you to Namjoon. Her gaze lingers on him longer than normal and what looks like realization shows on her face. She lets out a chuckle. “So you hate witches and magical people, huh? That’s unfortunate because you’re going to need to find someone to cure you.”
“What the fuck are y-” Seulgi brings her hands up and waves her index and middle finger in one swift side-to-side motion before Namjoon can even intervene. You stumble backward, and Namjoon catches you before you hit the ground. You’re coughing, sounding winded even though you had been standing still. “What did you do to me?” You manage to rasp out between coughs.
Seulgi shrugs. “You seem like you talk a lot. Maybe a little too much. Let’s just say I gave you laryngitis, except it’ll be permanent unless you know someone who can break the spell. You have until midnight in two days' time.” The witch looks directly at Namjoon as she says this, smiling the entire time. “Good luck!” She calls out as she steps over you and prances out the door.
On the list of ways Namjoon wanted to tell you he was a warlock, this was not on it whatsoever.
Less than an hour later, you and Namjoon are standing in front of Yoongi’s building, your fist pounding on the wood. The bleary-eyed vampire answers the door, clearly having been woken up from one of his mid-day naps. You wordlessly step into the apartment and plop onto the couch.
“Sure, hi Y/n, yes, please come in,” Yoongi mumbles under his breath and invites Namjoon inside. “To what do I owe this wonderful pleasure today?” You ignore the sarcasm in his sentence.
“I’m cursed!”
“Cursed?”
“Yes! We were getting brunch, and some asshole witch cut in front of us. I called her out, and the bitch cursed me! She said I need to find someone who knows magic to lift the spell or whatever in two days by midnight or I’ll never be able to speak again.” You manage to get this out in between coughs.
Namjoon ignores the pointed look that Yoongi gives him.
“So, you want me to ask one of my magic friends to break the spell?”
“Obviously. You’re the only supernatural person in town that I know well enough to ask. I’d ask my family, but there’s no way I can scrounge up enough money in two days to fly home.”
Yoongi stares at Namjoon, making the younger man uncomfortable, but doesn’t say anything.
“Fine. I’ll call someone I know, and you can meet up with him. Namjoon, come with me and get your girlfriend some water.”
Yoongi turns on the tap, and as soon as Namjoon enters the room, he sighs quite tiredly. “Are you seriously going to make me find someone else to do this?”
“This isn’t how I wanted to tell her! I wanted to do it on my own time and in a nicer situation than this.”
“Yeah, well, fate works in mysterious ways, huh?” Yoongi grabs a glass and fills it with ice. “You know how to break the spell, don’t you?”
“I mean, yeah. I may not have known the words the witch said, but it seems like a pretty simple silencing spell.”
“So, I will ask you again. Are you going to make me find someone to help your girlfriend, or are you going to go in there and help her yourself?” He hands Namjoon the glass of water and waits for his response.
“I just need a little more time-” Yoongi lifts his hand to stop him.
“That’s all I need from you. I already know who to call.”
His words worry Namjoon.
The next day, you and Namjoon arrive at the door of the person Yoongi asked to help you. Namjoon had known the tone that Yoongi took with him was concerning, and he was right.
“Come in, come in!” Seokjin waves his arm, letting you and Namjoon into his apartment. The older warlock winks at you, and Namjoon bristles.
Even after knowing Seokjin as long as he’s known you, Namjoon still doesn’t like him very much. According to Yoongi, Seokjin has been trying to get with you since your junior year of college, and it almost worked twice, but things fell through thanks to your refusal to date a magical person. Namjoon can admit that he’s the jealous type. The thought of another man wooing you makes his blood boil. Seokjin’s flirty enough that not even the object of his affection’s significant other being in the room will deter him. He’s shameless, and every time they’re in the same place, Namjoon comes closer and closer to turning him into a reptile.
“Y/n, you’re looking as beautiful as ever,” he practically purrs at you. “Namjoon, you’re looking…as you usually do.” Seokjin has never been rude per se, but nearly everything he says to Namjoon is passive-aggressive, which drives the younger warlock mad.
“Yeah, you too.”
“Anyway,” you interject with a cough. “I assume Yoongi told you why I’m here.”
“He did. I can’t believe you pissed off a witch so bad that she’s taking your voice away. I’ve always told you that one day your mouth would get you in trouble.” Seokjin’s eyes flick down to your lips, and Namjoon has to hold himself back from leaping across the room at him.
“I don’t wanna hear it, Kim. Can you break the spell or not?”
“Of course, I can. How many times have I told you that I’m the greatest warlock of the 21st century.” He shoots Namjoon a look. Seokjin had found out that Namjoon was a warlock a few years ago and always seemed like he was silently holding it over his head.
Seokjin motions for you and Namjoon to follow him into his second bedroom that he has made into his magic room. He walks past his bubbling cauldron to one of his bookshelves. He slides his fingers across a few of the spines before pulling out a book and rifling through its pages.
“Ah-ha! The spell she put on you is pretty amateur. She's either a new witch or a supremely lazy one. I mean, this is a spell that a baby witch could cast and-”
“Seokjin!” you wheeze. “I don’t care if this is a spell that only Merlin himself could cast. I just need you to fix me!”
“Alright, alright. I need to gather a few ingredients for a potion first. If the two of you would please go wait in the living room, I’ll be with you shortly.”
You and Namjoon do as he asks and go to wait on his couch. You play on your phone as Namjoon has his umpteenth tortured inner monologue. Your anniversary was tomorrow and he was still nowhere close to telling you about himself. To be fair, you did know that Seokjin was a warlock and you didn’t completely hate him. You just didn’t like to hang out with him unless you had to, and usually, the two of you spent most of your time together arguing.
Maybe Yoongi was right, and he was just overthinking this. The time that the two of you have spent together has been the best moments of his life, and he was sure you felt the same. But if that was true, why did he feel so uncertain? Why was the thought of telling you he has been keeping this massive secret from you for five years scaring him so much?
“So, good news and bad news,” Seokjin announces, coming into the room. “The good news is, I can break this nasty spell.”
“And the bad news?” You ask.
“Well, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it until tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?! I’m supposed to lose my voice for the rest of my life tomorrow!” You yell at him which sends you into a coughing fit. Namjoon rubs your back and meets Seokjin’s gaze. He hates the smug look the older warlock gives him.
“You’re not to lose your voice until midnight. I’ll do what I need to do before then. Your lovely boyfriend and I can organize where we’ll meet up.”
Namjoon is confused. “We’re not coming here?”
“No, this needs to be done elsewhere. I’ll text you a little later once I finish getting the things together that I need.”
He’s hesitant, but Namjoon agrees, and he and you head home. A week ago, he was looking forward to his anniversary, but now he’s dreading it and just wants the day to be over already.
“This is all my fault,” Namjoon blurts out in the car. The two of you are on your way to meet Seokjin at the location he insisted upon, a part of town that was almost atop a hill. According to the eldest, you needed to be outside and away from “prying eyes.” It sounded like a lie, but Seokjin was older, so Namjoon thought he might know a different way to break the spell.
“What do you mean?” You glance from the road to him briefly, then back in front of you again.
“We’re spending our anniversary with you under a spell, we have no starlight picnic packed, and I have to look at Kim Seokjin’s face.”
“Joonie, this isn’t your fault. You didn’t do this to me. I suppose I do have a big mouth sometimes.” You shrug and find his hand on the center console to hold. “This can still be an anniversary date, though. Once Seokjin does what he needs to do, we can send him home and enjoy the meteor shower together. Plus, when you were showering, I snuck the picnic basket in the car. We can still salvage the night.” You parked the car and sent him a smile that had his heart beating so loud he swore it echoed throughout the cabin of the vehicle.
He leans over and kisses you for the first time today, his heart pounding impossibly faster. He decides then and there that he’s going to propose to you tonight no matter what. If it means hiding his magic from you until you’re old and gray, then he will.
Hand in hand, you and Namjoon head up the path closest to you until you see Seokjin in the clearing. He’s crouching on the ground in front of a leather satchel and reading through a book. When he sees you and Namjoon approaching, he puts the book away and pulls out a mason jar filled halfway with a glowing purple liquid.
“Good evening, my darling.” Seokjin smiles broadly at you when he sees you. “I hope your day was marvelous.”
“It’s my anniversary, and I spent all day stressing and hacking my lungs up, and now, instead of having a romantic evening, I’m here about to be exorcised. Does anything about that sound marvelous?” You got through the sentence, only coughing three times.
“My sweet Y/n, you’re so dramatic. Let’s get on with it then, come on.” Seokjin waves both you and Namjoon over, presenting the bottle of liquid to you. “So, the removal of the spell itself is pretty easy. Step one is to drink the potion, and then we wait two minutes. I’ll set a timer and-” Before he finishes his sentence, you toss your head back and gulp down the purple liquid in record time. Seokjin fumbles with his phone to set his timer as soon as the last drop is in your mouth.
“This tastes kind of like grape juice,” you comment, handing him the empty bottle.
“Patience, woman! What if the next step required traveling somewhere far away?!”
“Well, does it?”
“No…”
“Great, so what do we do next?”
Seokjin sighs and glances at his phone timer. “Once the timer is up, Well, your boyfriend isn’t going to like this, but I have to kiss you.“
“What?!” You and Namjoon exclaim in unison, your voices bouncing off the surrounding trees.
“Why the hell do you have to kiss her?” Namjoon feels his fists clenching, and his face hurts from how hard he’s scowling.
“It’s the way to break the spell. After she drinks the potion, which does most of the work, she then has to kiss a witch or warlock for it to take effect.”
“Ugh, I feel like this is your way of finally kissing me,” you groan. “Fine, whatever, as long as I get to keep my voice.”
“Y/n, no.” Namjoon’s sweating in the middle of the crisp fall air at the thought. This had to be some sort of joke, right? He racks his brain to remember what he learned about this spell in high school. He remembers that he has to say a generic counterspell to break it, but he doesn’t recall any glowing purple potion and a kiss.
“Joonie, it’s just a kiss. I don’t like it either, but unless you find my voice that annoying, we’re out of options here.”
“Ten seconds,” Seokjin reads. Namjoon watches the older warlock lick his lips and send him a wink. While he was typically a pacifist in a situation of confrontation, the overwhelming urge to punch Seokjin with all of the strength he can muster is strong.
He watches you let out a sigh and step closer to Seokjin, tilting your head up towards him.
“Times up,” Seokjin says.
Before he’s able to lean down, Namjoon is behind you, pulling you towards him and smashing his lips into yours. He feels you relax in his arms only for a second before you’re pushing him away.
“Namjoon, you ruined it! Seokjin specifically said someone who’s magical needs to be the one to kiss me!”
“I am someone magical! I’m a warlock!”
Silence fills the air. Namjoon’s breathing hard, his heart feeling as though it’s going to beat out of his chest. You’re staring at him, and he can see your brain trying to make sense of what he just said.
“You’re a warlock?” You finally ask, your brows scrunching.
“Fuck, Y/n, this isn’t how I wanted to tell you.” Namjoon’s legs feel like jelly, so he lowers himself to the grass and sits. “I wanted to find a time where it was just the two of us, and we weren’t fighting a clock. I wanted to be able to tell you and not feel so scared, but I just, the idea of him putting his mouth on you and being the one to break this damned spell, made me so mad.”
“I…I don’t know what to say.” You don’t look as angry as he thought you would. You look confused more than anything. “We went through all of this when you could’ve helped me this whole time?”
Guilt that he felt about not telling you combined with the fact that yes, all of this could’ve been taken care of literally the same day you met the witch that started this all. “Y/n, I know you probably hate me right now, and you probably want nothing to do with me ever again, but please just know I love you more than anything. I love you more than anyone I’ve ever been with. You’re my soulmate and the love of my life. The idea of telling you that I’m magical, knowing how you feel about magic, scared me shitless.
“The idea of losing you was too much to bear. I wanted to propose to you tonight before all of this happened, but all I could replay in my mind was you throwing the ring at me and storming off after I told you the truth. I’m sorry I ruined our anniversary.” Namjoon stays sitting on the wet grass, not caring that it was soaking through his jeans. He can’t will himself to look up at you, fearing the rejection he feels coming.
He catches sight of your sneakers walking over and stopping in front of him before you’re crouching down and cupping his face. The sound of you sniffling has his eyes snapping up to meet your red-rimmed ones. “Joon, I love you so much. The fact that you would even think that I’d leave you after all the time we’ve been together and everything we’ve been through is stupid. Yeah, I’ve never much-liked magic, but you should know that I love you more than life itself.” You smile at him, and he feels his breath catch in his throat. You still love him.
“Right now, more than anything, I’m just pissed that we went on this entire adventure when you could’ve just saved us the trouble and broke the spell days ago. But I love you more than I dislike magic. And if that offer still stands, I’d love to be engaged to you. If you want.”
Namjoon grabs you then, wrapping you in his long arms and pulling you close to his chest. The two of you topple onto the soft grass, the smell of soil mixing with the familiar scent of you. He fishes the small, black velvet box out of his jacket pocket and slips the simple silver band with an amethyst stone onto your ring finger, kissing your hand once it was snug in place.
“I can’t tell you how relieved I am right now. I love you so much,” he whispers, kissing your forehead.
“I really do hate to interrupt,” Seokjin cuts in from the same spot he’s stood in since Namjoon pulled you from him. “But, you still need to break the spell.”
“What do you mean? Didn’t I do that already?”
“Well, not really. The kiss isn’t the thing that was supposed to break it. There’s a counterspell you need to recite.”
“But, I’ve stopped coughing,” you point out.
“That’s because the potion you drank stopped it. I figured I’d give you something to lessen the soreness in your throat, maybe, but you still have like three hours left before your voice is gone for good.” Seokjin forces a smile that neither you nor Namjoon return.
“So what the hell was all that kiss nonsense for?” Namjoon huffs out, standing up and advancing towards Seokjin.
“It was to get you to tell her you were a warlock! Yoongi said if I made up the whole kiss thing, it’d get you mad enough to admit it, and I mean it worked, didn’t it?”
Yoongi. He set this whole thing up to get Namjoon to tell you the truth. “You mean to tell me that Yoongi got a witch to curse Y/n, just to get you involved to make me jealous so that I’d confess?”
“He only organized the latter part of all this. This whole spell thing was all because of Y/n’s smart mouth.” Namjoon sees you flip off Seokjin in his peripheral.
“Joon, we can go curse out Yoongi later, but can you please break this spell? I’m seriously stressing over here.”
Namjoon makes a mental note to pay Yoongi a not so friendly visit later and makes his way back over to you. He has you close your eyes while he recalls the right counterspell to make everything go back to normal. He murmurs under his breath, hovering his hand over your throat, and his fingers tingle as the words leave his mouth. As quickly as he begins, he’s done and lowering his hand.
You open your eyes and clear your throat a few times. “How do I know if it worked?”
“It worked.”
“Yeah, but how will I know?”
“If you wake up tomorrow morning and speak, then you’ll know it worked.” You frown at him and glance up at the sky.
“We seriously need to talk about all the things you can do later, but for now, I really just want to watch the meteor shower and actually finish what’s supposed to be a romantic anniversary date.”
“We can do that.”
From there, you head to the car to get the dinner you packed, and Namjoon tells Seokjin he can leave. He asks the older warlock to let Yoongi know to expect a visit from him tomorrow that won’t just be to hang out.
Once Seokjin’s gone, and you’ve spread out the spare blanket you keep in your car, Namjoon relaxes as you lean against him, feeding him parts of the sandwiches you made. While this may not have been the ideal way he planned for anything that transpired to happen, all that matters is that you still love him, and he gets to watch the way the meteors flying above glisten off of the ring on your finger.
The next morning, you’re able to confirm that Namjoon was, in fact, able to break the spell that the witch had cast onto you. You still have your voice, and you’re able to give Yoongi an earful about not telling you his best friend was a warlock when he first introduced you while simultaneously thanking him for introducing the two of you. The vampire tiredly took the verbal assault after you and Namjoon had barged into his apartment early in the morning.
As Namjoon watches you threaten to shove a clove of garlic up Yoongi’s ass if he ever lies to you again, he knows that asking you to become his wife is the best decision he’s ever made in his life.
2nd A/N: Fun fact, this started out as a different fic that I wrote the beginning and end of, but then my brain couldn’t function for the middle so I wrote it all over again. The original version of this will probably still be finished in the future, who knows when. Also, as a disclaimer, I am in love with Seulgi. The idea of her as a sassy witch? Chef’s kiss!!! Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed it!

When They Meet Your Ex
Risotto Nero
Risotto would crush your ex’s head between his goth gf tiddies if he ever tries to get anywhere close to you.
You were on a park date on a late evening, not wanting to attract attention, but Risotto’s hat bells seemed to attract all the attention from passer-bys...
And by that, I mean cute little stray kittens would tried climbing up his pants to reach the bells.
Seeing you giggle at that, he only sighed and with the ghost of a smile, he suggested you sit down by the tree and play with the kittens.
It was all super cute at the beginning, seeing your lovely smile made his heart go WRYYYY with happiness, but that was rather short lived.
���Huuh? Y/N, that you? What are you doing with that weird looking clown? And why do you look like you’re wearing his way too large and washed out Metallica Tshirt?” hearing that familiar voice, you gasped and looked up, only to see the irritating face of your ex. “Honestly...Can’t I get a nice and quiet night without you around? Actually, why did you even stop? Come on, go away! I don’t feel like killing my braincells speaking to you again.” you humphed, looking away from him. “Awe, don’t be so hostile with me, babe! You definitely weren’t like that some time ago.” he smirked, as your eye twitched in annoyance. “Don’t call me that! It’s disgusting hearing that coming from your filthy mouth! You lost that privilege long ago!” your voice was lower, dripping with poison with each word. “I don’t think you should be speaking to me like that, considering how much you downgraded. Were you that desperate that you just forced yourself on the first person you saw?” he asked in a patronising voice. “I’m not you to force myself on people who don’t like me.” your voice even harsher now, but your big tiddy goth gf decided to step in. “To think that someone like you would speak like that about my girlfriend in front of me...You sure are a dumb fuck.” Risotto’s deep and dark voice echoed through the park as he stood down, towering over your ex. “Y-You’re not that scary, y’know?” your ex stuttered out those words, but that only made your boyfriend smirk. “Is that so...? Y/N, do I have your permission to teach this shrimp a lesson? No Stand needed, just my fists.” he asked, cracking his knuckles. “Permission granted. Just give me a good view of his blood flying around and I’ll be happy. I’ve been dreaming for this guy to get beat up for so long!” you giggled, leaning down on the tree with a relaxed look, with kittens all over you, as you enjoyed the show, your sweet boyfriend cursing the bastard over and over again, with each punch.
By the end of it, after making sure there’s no more blood on his hands and the jerk ran away, you called him to put his head on your lap, and kissed him tenderly, a smirk on your face.
“Who’d have thought that the best revenge is served bloody.” you chuckled, playing with his beautiful silver hair. “I would know.” he said simply, letting out a calm exhale.

Bruno Buccellati
You were at the restaurant with the team, as Bruno was away on a little errand and asked you to make sure the gang doesn’t destroy the restaurant, which wouldn’t really be a surprise, to say the least, but still.
“Okay, Narancia, I know you can do it. This is pretty easy, but you have to focus and take it one step at a time. What is 5 x 6? Take your time.” you asked sweetly, as you stood behind Narancia’s chair, your arms around his neck, your chin resting on the top of his head as he kept thinking and trying to count on his fingers. “Uh....30! Right? Right?” he asked energetically. “Yes, that’s right, congrats! And now, how much is 9 x 7? I know it’s a bit more difficult, but take you time and you’ll get it right!” I tried to hype him up, which made Mista and Fugo chuckle. “I honestly don’t have a clue how you can have so much patience with that braindead idiot.” Fugo complained, leaning back on his chair. “OI! WHO’RE YA CALLING A BRAINDEAD IDIOT?!” Naracia jumped on his feet as if electrocuted, which made me gasp and throw my arms around his torso, trying my best to keep him from fighting with Fugo. “Guys, settle down already! You don’t want to give Bruno trouble, do you?” I tried to reason, but they were long gone in their own word, while Mista was laughing, Giorno was pretending he didn’t know them and Abbacchio was ignoring us by listening to music. “Woaw...You’re a mess as always. Who are these guys anyway? Your groupies? Nah, these 2 seem way too young for that...They couldn’t be your kids, could they?!” a weirdly familiar voice called out from the entrance of the private space where we ate our meals, which made everyone stop what they were doing, snapping their heads towards the new person. “Oh...It’s you. Great, my day can’t get any worse, can it?” I dragged my hand down my face in aggravation. “So they ARE your children! What the hell, you said you didn’t want any children! I begged you so much, and you still denied me! And now?! What the hell, Y/N?!” he shouted, his eyes wide with shock. “These guys are 15 and 17, so if you can come up with a viable explanation on how I, at Y/A years old, could possibly have them as children, then congratulations, you win. Otherwise, I have to say, you’re the most braindead person I’ve ever met...Which wouldn’t be a surprise, considering everything.” I sighed, walking in front of him, staring him down, despite the height difference. “And who do you think you are, speaking to me like that, you little bitch?!” he screamed in your face. “Oi, Y/N, need a little help beating up this guy?” Abbacchio’s low voice called out, but you merely shook your head. “Nah, this is more personal. Listen, idiot, you aren’t allowed here. Restaurant’s rules. This place is reserved only for us, so get your sorry ass away from here before I kick you...Not that you wouldn’t like it, seeing how much of a masochistic freak you are.” you growled, pushing your finger into his chest repeatedly, to make him step way, but he grabbed your wrists tightly. “I think I’ll be leaving this place with you-” he began to speak, before a hand grasped his shoulder from behind so hard that he yelped in shock and pain.
“Now, now, I think mia bella told you already that this is a private place and you should leave. Unfortunately for you, you were stupid enough to touch her, so now you must suffer the consequences for your actions.” Bruno, glaring at the jerk, grabbed him by the shirt and threw him out of the restaurant, before talking to someone on the phone and returning to you, kissing your temple and holding his arm around you protectively, as he guided you back to the table. “Are you my guardian angel, Bruno? You always come to my aid when I need it the most, yet least expect it.” you chuckle, leaning your elbow on the table and gazing at him with a tender look. “I’d say it’s the other way around, but I won’t complain either way. Don’t worry about him, he won’t bother you again, I made sure of that.” he held your hand, intertwining your fingers together, before leaning on his chair, smirking at the others. “How did they behave today?” “On their best behaviour, of course! They are always little angels, and look! Narancia’s getting better at multiplying!” I clap in glee, showing him the new pages in his notebook. “Great job, Narancia, well done! And you, Fugo, for not getting angry at him.” Bruno praised them, but the two only shared a look of unease, as they laughed awkwardly, nodding.
--- Abbacchio Leone
You and Abbacchio were enjoying your day off together at a little cafe in town, knowing very well that none of the guys would bother you the whole day, so you were both pretty happy with that.
Your hand was over his, on the table, as you discussed random bands and were hyped about upcoming concerts in Italy that you were definitely going to together and would buy matching merch that you could wear and flaunt off how cool the two of you were together.
The problem is, however, when someone suddenly put their hands on your shoulders, making you jolt in your seat in surprise, before twisting behind to see who it was -
Only to have the misfortune of seeing your ex.
“Oh great, just what I needed. I got rid of the gang’s annoying antics, but I have to see another, much worse...Argh, whatever, I won’t even bother. Just leave, I don’t want to deal with you.” you roll my eyes, turning back to Abbacchio, obviously with a dramatic hair flip. “Awww, come on, admit that you missed me. I mean, what is this? Your new goth girlfriend, or what? I know I’m irreplaceable in your heart, but come on, no need to pretend that you don’t miss me.” he smirks, sitting on the empty chair next to you. “Oh, bother...” you facepalmed, looking at your boyfriend with an exasperated look. “Your tea is ready, sir, madam. Cherry Vanilla with extra Cinnamon.” the waiter put the teapot on the table, along with two cute little purple cups. “I am sorry, I thought it would be only the two of you. Should I bring another cup for the new sir?” the waiter asked politely, and while you were ready to deny, but Leone was faster than you. “Yes, please.” he answered simply, making you widen your eyes at him, but seeing his mischievous smirk, you realised his plan, which made you put your hand over your mouth to stifle your giggles. “You are very polite, dear Leone. More polite than I could ever be, I must confess.” you confessed, which earned a condescending laugh from your ex. “Well, you were never that much of a kind girl to begin with, Y/N, but that’s why I love you! We complete each other so well! I’m the good one, you’re the bad one...!” he trailed on, until the waiter brought the 3rd cup, and your ex tried to reach for the tea cup, but you slapped his hand away. “Go wash your hands! You can’t sit at the table with dirty hands! I don’t really care if you do it when you’re by yourself, but you should know by now that I’m hygene-obsessed!” you tried to reason without drawing suspicion to yourself. “Jeez...Can’t believe I stayed with a nagging bitch like you for so long...” he muttered under his breath, but got up and left for the bathroom anyway. “This is gonna be fun.” you giggled, as you poured the tea for for you and Leone, before putting the teapot back. “Now’s my part.” he smirked, as you looked away, giggling, not even able to stop as you imagined how funny it’d be. “I’m back now, babe! Did you miss me~?” he asked in what seemed to be a very failed smooth act, which made you scoff. “You wish.” you snorted, looking away. “Ah...You didn’t pour me tea too, how rude. Well, nevermind, it’s not like you ever had any initiative anyway.” he got the teapot and poured himself a cup, as you and Abbacchio sipped at the same time. “How do you like it?” you giggle, looking at him as he took a big sip from his cup, before gulping and choking. “WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! IT TASTES HORRIBLE!” he yelled at you, as you could barely stop yourselves from laughing. “It’s tea, what else could it be?” you smirked, watching his angry expression, as he tried to leap towards you, but Abbacchio was much faster, taking him by the scruff of his blouse and kicking him out, getting him banned from the cafe, before turning back and sitting with a large smirk on his face. “That was such a great success.” you laughed, high-fiving your smug boyfriend. “Nobody messes with my girlfriend...And honestly, this trick didn’t work with Giorno, so it just had to work with this idiot.” he chuckled lowly, before throwing away the remaining piss-tea and ordering another kind of hot beverage. “We’re the perfect duo, baby.” you kissed his lips while giggling slightly, before getting back to your seat and continuing your conversation from where you left it.

Kujo Jotaro
Today had been a very nice and peaceful day for Jotaro, and he intended on keeping it that way.
His mother didn’t annoy him too much with her goodbye kiss, the groupie that kept following him everywhere was rather tame today, not clinging on him as much, the teachers didn’t annoy him, the weather was fine, you promised to meet him in the park after school, with a bento prepared for the both of you, while helping him with some studies.
All went so well so far.
You were happy, and your bright smile managed to even put a smile on his face, and you two sat at the base of a very large and old oak tree, as you fed him the bento you cooked, and after that, you let him put his hat on your head, something he absolutely adored and made his heart beat faster, as he’d put his head on your lap and would let you stroke his hair, as you’d chat randomly and watch the clouds.
Everything was so perfect...
Or so Jotaro hoped.
But there just can’t be a perfect day without something bad happening.
Just as you leaned down to plant a soft kiss on Jotaro’s forehead, some people started approaching you. At first, neither of you thought anything of it, thinking it was just random people passing by, but that was far from the truth.
“Oi, oi! Who’s that over there? It that Kujo? With a girl?” the obnoxious voice echoed through the park, and while Jotaro was merely annoyed, you unintentionally remembered the voice, and flinched in annoyance. “Great, just what I needed today.” you grumbled, tipping the front of your hat, a habit you took from your boyfriend. “Yare Yare Daze...Do you know them?” Jotaro asked in a low voice, getting up and glaring at the 3 boys walking over. “Yeah...That bastard in the middle is my ex. Kill me now.” you sighed, hiding your face completely with the hat that was already extra large on you. “Ah! No way, is that you? Really? Y/N? What the hell? Didn’t you keep preaching how you wanted a smart boyfriend? Tsk...I knew it. You really aren’t as smart as you think you are.” he shook his head, whisking away the hat, making you immediately jolt to your feet, trying to get the hat away. “Get that back! Come on, don’t be a jerk! It’s not even mine, you have no right to take it away! Just give me the hat and go away, I really didn’t want to see you again!” you reached up, trying to get the hat, but it was out of your reach. “Only if you give me a kiss. Come one, Y/N, you broke up with me in such bad terms, why not make it better?” he tried to reach his hand towards you, but you slapped it away hard. “Don’t even think of touching me, you jerk! You don’t deserve anything!” you stepped back, glaring at him, but you didn’t realise you bumped into someone, until you looked up and noticed it was Jotaro. “You have 3 seconds to give back my hat and run away.” he threatened, but your ex was having none of it. “And who the hell do you think you are? Her little play toy? Don’t you know? He loves to play around until she gets bored! And then she’ll just throw you away like garbage! Come on, man, I’m looking out for a bro here!” your ex tried to reason, but Jotaro was having none of it. “I don’t appreciate trash like you talking like that about my girlfriend. You have 2 more seconds before you’re dead.” Jotaro glared threateningly at them, putting you behind him protectively. “E/N, man, you don’t know him? He’s Kujo Jotaro, he’s known in the whole city for beating everyone up, even teachers. He never lost a fight! I wouldn’t go against him!” one of his friends explained, backing away from him, not wanting to get caught up in this mess. “One...” Jotaro stepped forward, grasping the front of your ex’s shirt. “Fine, whatever, here’s your stupid hat, now let me go!” your ex threw the hat at him, which he grabbed with his other hand and gave it to you. “Time’s up.” Jotaro smirked slightly, cracking his fists. “What?! You said you’d let me go!” your ex seemed to have fear flashing in his eyes as he tried to step back. “I said you have 3 seconds to return the hat AND run away.” and with that, Jotaro unleashed a barrage of ORAs at your filthy ex, rendering him barely able to walk as he got away by his 2 minions. “Well, that was surely satisfying to watch.” you chuckled slightly, before returning to your spot at the base of the tree. “Thank you for that. It was a pretty fine revenge, to be fair.” you smirked softly, taking out your notebooks from your bag. “Yare Yare Daze...Only cowards these days.” he shook his head before smiling, seeing you with his hat back on your head. “I can’t deny that. But doesn’t matter, you’re the best anyway. There’s nobody who can replace you in my heart.” you put your hands on his face before stealing a quick kiss from him. “Come on now, dolphin boy, let’s see what you want to revise for the Entrance exam.” you grinned, lifting up the hat so you could see a bit. “That’s my girl.” the ghost of a smile plastered on his face, as he put his arm around you, leaning back the tree and having you leaning on his chest, relaxing with the notebooks in your lap.

She’s The Prettiest Girl At The Party And She Can Prove It With A Solid Right Hook
Pairing: Dallon Weekes x Female Reader
Rating: General
Requested By: None
Word Count: ~3,900
Author’s Note: Wow, I started this story a LONG time ago. Like May. Anyway, I’ve always kinda liked the trope where one of the characters is from the wrong side of the tracks, but usually it’s the guy. Well I decided to change it around.
The frat house was packed with rowdy, drunk college kids, sweaty from the lingering heat of the day, as summer wasn’t giving up despite the school year starting. (YN) was with some friends, trying to finish her cup of warm, stale beer when the shoving started. She glanced over her shoulder to see a tall, lanky guy getting pushed around by one of the frat guys, her friend Abby’s ex-boyfriend Dave.
“Watch where you’re going, asshole!” Dave shouted at the other guy who looked rattled.
“Sorry dude, it was an accident,” the other guy replied, putting his hands up defensively.
“An accident?! You ruined my fuckin’ shirt!” Dave shouted, raising his fist. That’s when (YN) swung her fist right into the aggressor’s face.
“Oh my god!” She cried out, trying to shake out the pain that shot through her hand as the frat brothers looked on in stunned silence. The whole party seemed frozen, staring at the scene.
“Out! Get them both out!” Dave shouted as he held his nose, blood joining the beer stains on his shirt.
Before (YN) could realize what was happening, rough hands were pushing her toward the door. The air outdoors felt refreshing and cool as she stumbled down the stairs and into someone.
“Oh my god, you hit that guy! He was gonna hit me and you hit him!” (YN) looked up and saw it was the guy she had jumped in front of. He still looked shocked, eyes wide.
(YN) laughed from the adrenaline pumping through her veins. “I did! Oh my god! Oh my god, we should get out of here!”
“Yea. Umm, can I walk you home or something?” he offered, starting to calm down.
“That would be great,” (YN) replied as they vacated the lawn. “I live in the dorms.”
He nodded as they started to walk back toward campus. “Does your hand hurt?”
“I think it’s ok? No, nope, wrong, my hand really hurts,” she winced as she flexed her fingers.
When they reached the next streetlight, he took her hand and examined it. “If you can move the fingers, it’s probably not broken. Should probably ice it though. There’s a convenience store up ahead, we can get some ice there.”
“Thanks,” she replied.
“No, thank you!” He replied. “I’m Dallon by the way.”
“(YN). I’d shake your hand, but, ya know,” she shrugged.
“Do you normally haul off and punch guys in the face like that?”
(YN) laughed. “No, that’s my friend’s shitty ex-boyfriend. He’s always been an asshole, so when the opportunity finally presented itself, I had to take it.” Dallon laughed, the smile made his eyes crinkle, and (YN) noticed he looked pretty cute when that happened.
The conversation lulled as they walked down the street. The night was fairly quiet once they were away from Fraternity Row, music coming from the occasional house, breaking the silence. Eventually they arrived at the convenience store and they headed inside. They got a cup of ice and (YN) stuck her hand inside as they finished the walk back to her dorm. As they arrived at her building, there was a chime.
“Is that your phone?” Dallon asked
“Yea, hold this,” she said, handing him the cup as she reached in her back pocket with her good hand. “Oh my god,” she muttered. “My stupid friend Abby is apparently getting back with Dave now and she never wants to speak to me again because I hit him. Whatever.”
“I’m really sorry I ruined things between you and your friend,” Dallon said, rubbing the back of his neck.
“No, it’s fine,” she shook her head. “I just... I didn’t think that friendship was gonna last much longer anyway, ya know? We’re too different in too many ways.”
Dallon nodded. “Yea, I get it. Well, thanks again for saving me,” he smiled.
“Thanks for walking me home. I’ll see you around,” (YN) waved before heading inside.
~
(YN) wandered through the student union with her lunch tray in hand. It had been a few days since the fight and while the swelling and pain in her hand had gone down, she was starting to feel lost. Over the summer it had become clear that she was growing apart from the friends she had made during her freshman year, but the fact that they all abandoned her after one right hook still hurt.
“(YN)!” She heard someone calling. She glanced around and saw Dallon waving at her from an empty table.
She smiled and made her way over to him. “Hey Dallon, how’ve you been?”
“Good thanks. Wanna sit?”
(YN) felt her heart swell at the gesture. “Yea sure.”
“How’s the hand?”
“Getting better,” she replied, flexing her fingers. He reached out, took her hand gently, and examined it. She watched as his thumb ran across her knuckles before she looked up at his eyes. She hadn’t noticed them the night they met but they were sparkling blue. He looked up too and smiled.
“Thanks again, who knows what those jerks would have done if you hadn’t stopped that guy in his tracks.”
(YN) shrugged as she pulled her hand back. “Like I said, it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.”
“Weekes,” she heard a voice behind her say. She turned in her chair to see a few people looking at Dallon disdainfully.
“Hey,” he replied sheepishly as they walked past.
“What is your deal?” (YN) asked with eyebrows knitted together. “Making enemies wherever you go?”
“No, no, we were in a study group together last year and I told them I wouldn’t be working with them this year and I guess they’re… upset.”
(YN) nodded. “So what’s your major?”
“Music performance, you?”
“Marketing. So are you a singer, or play an instrument?”
“I play bass and sing,” he replied as he dug into his lunch.
“Good thing your hand didn’t get injured then. You need me to be your bodyguard full time?” She laughed.
“Maybe I should get your number so I can call in case I get into trouble again,” he asked with a sheepish smile playing at his lips.
“Oh you’re smooth. Gimme your phone then,” she replied with a smirk. “And feel free to call if you wanna hang out or whatever, not just when you’re causing problems.”
“Well in that case do you wanna get dinner tonight?”
“I’d love to, but I have to work,” she pouted.
“Where do you work?”
“Sunrise Cafe, on 2nd street,” she replied.
“I live near there, but I’ve never been,” Dallon confessed.
“Well feel free to stop by anytime. So, where do you live?”
“At 306 West,” he replied, almost embarrassed.
(YN)’s eyes went wide upon hearing that he lived in one of the most expensive apartment buildings off campus. “Wow! Well, feel free to come by anytime. It’s usually pretty slow in the evening, so any company is appreciated. Just don’t start any fights.”
Dallon laughed. “I think I can behave myself, at least for one night.”
~
“You come here often?” (YN) asked as she and Dallon were seated at a table in one of the nicest restaurants in town a couple of nights later.
“Only once before, when my parents came to visit last year,” Dallon replied.
“Well don’t I feel special,” she smiled coyly.
“You should,” Dallon replied and (YN) raised an eyebrow at him. “I mean, you are special, you’re not like any other girl I’ve ever met I don’t think.”
“Ok I will accept that as a compliment,” she laughed.
(YN) quickly realized as they talked that their upbringings were vastly different, but that didn’t change the fact that she had a great time with Dallon. He really was quite charming and she enjoyed his company. When dinner was over, he drove her back to her back to her dorm, and even walked her to the door, his hand on her lower back.
“I had a nice time tonight. I haven't gone on a real date in a long time,” (YN) smiled.
Dallon smiled back as he ran his hand through his hair and (YN)’s stomach did a flip. “I’m glad. Would you like to go out again?”
(YN) nodded and took a step toward Dallon. “Yea,” she replied. “I’d really like that.”
Dallon seemed a little nervous as one hand found her waist. "I really like you (YN)," Dallon murmured.
“I like you too,” she said looking up in his eyes, her heart pounding as she leaned even closer to him.
“I really wanna kiss you,” he whispered, his lips so close to hers.
“Then you should,” she replied. He didn’t hesitate a second more, pressing his lips to hers, as his hand caressed her face. His large hand on her waist holding her close as she draped her arms over his shoulders. Her body curved into his as their lips moved together.
When she pulled back and looked into Dallon's eyes, he looked completely enamoured and she knew at that moment that there was no way that she wasn’t going to fall hard.
~
It didn’t take long for Dallon and (YN) to settle comfortably into each other's lives. He would stop by the cafe when she worked to keep her company during late shifts, and she’d listen to him practice bass for hours while she studied while making up little songs for her.
He cleared space in one of his drawers for her so she could stay over because he hated when she had to go at the end of the night. She loved waking up next to him, brushing his hair out of his face in the morning when they didn’t have early classes or work, and he’d smile softly in his sleep.
(YN) loved the way he looked at her like she was the best thing he’d ever seen, even when she just finished a long shift at the cafe and the way he touched her with such reverence that she’d never experienced before. At first she worried they were moving too quickly, but she didn’t care, it just felt right.
“Do you have plans for Thanksgiving?” Dallon asked in the middle of November.
“No, me and my dad never really celebrate it,” (YN) shrugged. “Are you going home?”
“Yea,” he paused. “Would you like to come with me?”
“Well I have to work the next afternoon,” she replied.
“Good, that gives us an excuse to leave early,” he laughed.
“Oh so that’s why you want me to come along!” She said with a smirk.
“No, that’s not it," he replied quickly.
"I know, I'm just giving you a hard time," (YN) laughed. “Sure, I guess this could be fun. Who doesn’t love meeting their boyfriend’s parents.”
~
The ominous feeling settled in the pit of (YN)’s stomach as soon as Dallon pulled onto his street. The houses were large and stately, set back on well manicured lawns. When he pulled into the driveway of his parents’ house, she took a deep breath before getting out and following him to the front door.
“Mom? Dad? We’re here!” Dallon called as they walked in.
“Oh wonderful! Hello, you must be (YN)!” Dallon’s mom said as she walked into the foyer.
“Yep, that’s me, nice to meet you,” (YN) said pleasantly. She was surprised to see how fancy the older woman was dressed since she was just in the kitchen cooking. Glancing down at her jeans and plain sweater, (YN) felt even more out of place.
“We have so much to talk about, Dallon doesn’t tell us hardly anything it seems. Let me show you up to your room,” she smiled and started up the stairs. (YN) shot Dallon a look and he shrugged before they both followed her. “(YN), we have the guest room ready for you. Dallon you’ll find your room just as you left it, for better or worse,” she laughed dryly.
“Thanks,” (YN) smiled awkwardly, setting down her bag.
“I have to go check the turkey. Dallon, go find your father,” she said before rushing back downstairs.
“That was,” (YN) said astonished, shaking her head.
“That was my mom,” Dallon nodded knowingly.
“So am I allowed in your room? Or is innocent little Dallon not allowed to have girls in there?” (YN) laughed, running her hand up his arm.
Dallon groaned in embarrassment. “Come on.”
A while later, they were sitting down to dinner with Dallon’s parents. (YN) could feel their eyes on her, silently picking her apart.
“So (YN), are you also pre-med?” Dallon’s mom asked.
(YN) was taken aback for a moment. Pre-med? Dallon told her he was a music major. She glanced over at him for clarity.
“No, umm, we met through mutual acquaintance,” Dallon answered.
“Yea, I’m a marketing major actually,” (YN) replied, her mind finally clicking back into gear. But she noticed the way his parents looked at each other with disdain.
“And what do your parents do?” His mom asked.
At this point (YN)'s defenses started to go up. “My mom split when I was little, and my dad works for Exact Medical Systems.”
That seemed to be a good answer, and their interest seemed piqued. “Is he a medical researcher?” Dallon’s dad asked.
“No, he does maintenance. Keeps everything running, so he’s really quite important,” she replied indignantly.
Dallon’s dad cleared his throat and the meal continued on in silence.
After everyone had finished eating, Dallon's dad called him into his office to speak with him. (YN) offered to help clear the table, but Dallon's mom insisted she didn’t need any help and hurried back to the kitchen as if it offered her sanctuary from (YN) and all her undesirable qualities. Unsure what else to do, (YN) retreated back to her room, but as she passed by the office she couldn't help her attention being caught by the conversation coming from the other side of the ajar door.
“Dallon, you cannot be wasting your time with a girl like that. If you expect to get into Harvard Medical School like I did, you need to focus on your studies. You need someone who has the same goals, the same expectations of their life, not someone that comes from a broken home without a clear direction or plan.”
“Oh you have got to be kidding me! Who are you to dictate to me how my life should go!”
“I am your father!” He bellowed.
“And you want me to be just like Eric. Blindly following in your footsteps, whether I like it or not!”
(YN) had heard enough. She turned and hurried up the stairs to her room and slammed the door behind her. She started to repack her bag as she tried to think of how she could get home with the small amount of cash she had on her. She was startled from her thoughts when there was a knock on the door.
“(YN)?”
She opened the door and let Dallon in. “What the hell is going on?!” She snapped.
Dallon sighed and ran his hands over his face. “Do you wanna get out of here?”
“Obviously,” she muttered as she zipped up her bag.
“Ok, let me grab my things,” Dallon replied. He took a step toward her and she just put her hand up to stop him.
“Just hurry up.”
He nodded in acceptance and hurried out.
Soon they were back in his car, driving back toward campus. (YN) didn’t hear anything further of what was said between Dallon and his parents, as she waited in her room until he told her that he was ready to go, and his parents made no attempt to stop them leaving. She sat silently with her head resting against the window. “Why did you lie about your major? Why didn’t you tell me you’re pre-med? When do you even study?” She asked, breaking the silence.
Dallon sighed. “I didn’t. Last year I was in the pre-med program, with a music minor. At the end of last year I changed programs because I, I just love music so much more than science. I just don’t give a damn about it, but my parents are paying for everything under the condition that I get into medical school. I can't tell them I've changed majors or they'll cut me off."
(YN) scoffed. "Oh because god forbid you have to take out a loan or apply for a scholarship or get a job like some plebeian! And what are you going to do for the next two years until suddenly you aren't going to Harvard or wherever? What then?"
"I dunno," he replied meekly.
"And I'm never gonna be the type of girl they want for you. God, it's like I'm in Legally Blonde, or Crazy Rich Asians or something! But life isn't a rom-com," she muttered. “There aren’t happy endings.”
"I don't care about what they think of you (YN)! I like you, a lot, and I want to be with you," he said emphatically.
"So I'll just be part of your secret double life? Take this exit," she sighed.
"This isn't the one for campus,"
"Just do it and then take the first left."
After a couple more turns into the neighborhood, they pulled up in front of a small green house that looked like it needed a new coat of paint and a patchy, brown lawn. "Dallon, this is why we aren't going to work. This is where I'm from and it’s why I'm not gonna fit in with your snooty, upper crust life."
(YN) got out of the car, pulling her bag with her and marched into the house. Dallon sat in stunned silence, her words reverberating through his mind. He waited, wondering if she was going to come back out. Then a light in a room at the end of the house turned on and he saw her silhouette in the window. She paused, and then drew the curtains.
~
A couple weeks later (YN) was working the last open mic night at the cafe before all the students left campus for winter break. The crowd wasn't huge, it never was on open mic night, but she still was busy. Eventually the lights dimmed and her coworker went up to announce the first performers.
"Ok, first up we have a duo called… I don't know?"
(YN) shook her head at her coworker butchering the band name, but her attention was quickly drawn to the small stage.
"Hey, my name is Dallon, this is my friend Ryan, we are I Dont Know How But They Found Me. Unfortunately that didn't fit on the sign up sheet." The crowd laughed and Dallon was grinning. "This first song is Modern Day Cain."
(YN) had avoided all the places she knew Dallon would be once she was back on campus after the Thanksgiving break, but suddenly he was right there. She tried to remain calm and focused on her work, but she couldn’t help but remember all the times she remembered him practicing those bass lines. When they finished the song, there was a smattering of applause.
"This next song is called I'd Be A Punk If My Mom Would Let Me," Dallon announced and (YN) couldn't help the snort of laughter that broke through the silence before the song started. The second song got a bit more applause as the crowd warmed to the band.
"Umm, this last song is a cover of a song by Frank Iero and the Cellabration. I'd like to dedicate it to a girl who probably wishes she could punch me in the face right now. It's called She's The Prettiest Girl At The Party, And She Can Prove It With A Solid Right Hook."
(YN) looked up from the spot she was wiping up on the counter and met Dallon's eyes. As she listened to the words that he was definitely singing right to her, she felt a tightness in her throat.
After the song was finished, they packed up their gear and the next performer took the stage. Between artists there was a flurry of people looking for refills of their coffee and tea, and (YN) lost track of Dallon, so she assumed he left.
At the end of the night the last few customers were getting up to leave when she spotted Dallon sitting alone at a table with his laptop open.
"We're closing," she said, walking over to him.
"Can we talk?" He asked, looking up at her with pleading eyes. (YN) shrugged and sat down next to him and he turned his computer to her.
"What's this?"
"I told my parents I switched majors."
(YN)'s eyebrows shot up in surprise and she leaned in to read the screen. Dallon’s email to his parents was emphatic, explaining about how he didn’t want to disappoint them, but he had to pursue what he loved. He couldn’t imagine years of schoolwork to ultimately be trapped in such an important job that he didn’t enjoy. His dad’s reply was nothing short of hostile, calling him a disappointment, berating him for wasting his intelligence, and ultimately informing him they would not be paying for anything starting with the upcoming spring semester.
"Do you need help filling out the student loan paperwork?" (YN) asked, sitting back.
Dallon shook his head. "No thanks, I think I got it figured out."
"But why'd you tell them now? Why not wait like you were planning?"
"Because you and music are the two things that make me happiest. I don't want to hide either anymore,” he said looking at (YN).
“We aren’t…” (YN) started, shaking her head as she trailed off.
“We could be again, if you’ll have me,” he replied, reaching out and taking her hand, his thumb running over her knuckles. “From the moment you threw that punch for me, I knew you were something special. You’re strong, clever, and beautiful and I’m sorry that my family made you feel anything less than that. And I’m sorry I was anything but completely honest with you from the beginning. I love you (YN).”
(YN) tore her eyes away from her hand in his to look out the window. It seemed to be snowing outside, but she couldn’t be sure since her vision was blurred by tears about to spill over. She sniffled and blinked hard, the tears spilling down her cheeks.
“Since that day I’ve been trying to think about who I wanted to talk to about all this with, but the only person I could think of was you. Over and over again I wanted to come running back to you Dallon. Because despite it all, I love you too.”
Dallon reached up and brushed away the tears away from her cheek "Please say we can be together again," he pleaded.
(YN) bit her lip and nodded. "I want my friend back. I want the person who I'd throw a punch for back. I want you back in my life because it feels empty without you."
Dallon wrapped his arms around her and pulled her as close as he could for how they were sitting. "I love you (YN), I love you so much," he murmured.

Even at ten o’clock, Gedonelune Town was still bustling. To be honest, as exciting as it was, it was also weird. In Reitz, most things closed around seven so no one was out later than that. For the city to be alive right now was different and exciting. Time didn’t stop anyone here!
“Let’s move along! We don’t want to get to the Academy too late.” My Acceptance Letter to my dream school, which was unfortunately animate and a jerk, popped out of my pocket.
“Let’s get some food first. I’m starving,” I told him. I tried to head towards a cafe, but he got in my face, forcing me to take a step back.
“No. You need to get to campus as soon as possible,” he said.
“I mean, it’s already night and I need to get used to being up late anyway since I’m in the Night Class,” I pointed out.
“Keep your voice down!” he shrieked, trying to cover my mouth with one of his corners. I quickly grabbed him and forced him away.
“You’re literally yelling,” I pointed out angrily.
“I’ve had enough of your attitude! I’ve guided many students to the Academy, but none of them have been as rude as you!” he scolded me.
“Excuse me?” Okay, NOW I was mad. “You rushed me out of my house at six in the morning, barely gave me time to pack and I only had time for one meal on the train. You’ve been belittling me through this whole trip. If I’m the rudest student you’ve ever had, it’s because I’m the only one speaking up.”
Maybe I was being rude. Maybe he was right. But I was running on too little sleep and after this long day, I wasn’t really feeling like going along with a letter that told me a couple hours ago that I was lucky to get in and that he wouldn’t be surprised if I flunked out.
“If you keep up this attitude, you’ll be sent home before you can even have your Judgment!”
“I’d rather that happen that refuse to stand up for myself!” I fired back.
“Well, if that’s how you’re going to be, then I’ll just be on my way!”
“Your way?”
“You can wait by yourself for Prefect Nox. And I hope by then you’ll realize you need to listen to others!” How dare he?! I’m fine behaving when the people around me behave too! I opened my mouth to give him a piece of my mind but in a puff of smoke, he stiffened and glided limply into my hands. The slight glow around his edges were gone.
“Mr. Letter?” I called out.
Silence.
“Well, okay then…” I rolled the letter up and stowed it away in my bag. Maybe it wasn’t the best thing I got into a fight with him, but he was so rude! I wondered if everyone at the Academy would be as terrible as he was. No… Surely no one will be as bad as him, right?
I sat down on a nearby bench and watched people pass me by. I had no idea what Prefect Nox looked like, so I just had to hope he’d find me somehow. The minutes crept together and the gnawing feeling in my stomach grew and grew. There weren’t any nearby food stands for me to grab something to eat. Sure, I could go somewhere, but I didn’t dare leave before Prefect Nox found me. We agreed to meet here and I needed to stay put.
My eyes glossed over as I stared off into space but suddenly, a Magic Note floated in front of my face.
“Huh?” I grabbed it and quickly unfolded it. The handwriting was kind of sloppy, to be honest. I could still read it, but clearly, this had been written in a hurry.
I’m sorry, but Rex and I can’t come get you. Something happened on campus and we have to focus on that. We will give you your orientation later. - Nox
“No way…” I murmured under my breath. So I was on my own. There was a bit of disappointment; I had really wanted to meet one of the prefects but apparently, that wasn’t in the cards.
At least I could go eat now.
I gathered up my things and wandered into town, looking for something that looked good. Places were already starting to close down, it was so late. That wasn’t good. I turned off the main road and found myself in front of what looked like a large warehouse. The sign outside said “Hidamari Market” and it looked festive, with golden lights hung up and the lights in the windows still on. Maybe they had some open food places?
The marketplace wasn’t lively, per se, but it wasn’t empty. A few people sat on benches placed in the walkways, but most people were in the stores. I turned into the first restaurant I saw. There was a very handsome blond man sitting with a dog-like familiar in the corner, notebooks in front of him alongside his food. A blonde girl around my age was behind the counter, counting something. She looked up and gave me a warm smile.
“Sit wherever you like! I’ll be with you in a moment,” she told me. I nodded and snagged a booth, appreciating the plush seats. That bench hadn’t been very comfortable.
I opened the menu, looking over the fare. It was a mix of Hinomotan and Gedonelunian food, the menu written in both languages. I liked that. But man, everything sounded so good that I had no idea what to get… As I stared at the menu, trying to decide on something, there were footsteps right beside me. Oh no, I’ll have to tell the waitress I’m not ready. But when I looked up, there wasn’t the waitress. It was a guy who looked about my age with piercing green-gray eyes and spiky hair the color of dark chocolate.
“Mind if I grab this seat?” he asked. I blinked and he didn’t wait for me to say anything. He just slid into the seat across from me.
“Uh, hi?” I replied. There were more footsteps and a waitress appeared, her face in that perpetual smile food service people had to always wear
“Hi there, welcome to Haru’s! Are you two ready?… Oh, it’s you!” A look of surprise came over her as she stared at the guy opposite me.
“You didn’t see me come in?” he asked. She gave him a tired look.
“No. I don’t keep an eye out for you. And what do you think you’re doing, dragging your poor partner on a date this late at night?!” she demanded, hands on her hips.
“Date?! Oh no, he just sat down here -” I said quickly, but the guy cut in.
“It’s not a date right now, but maybe in a few minutes it will be.”
I was going to commit murder in this restaurant tonight.
“Jeez,” the waitress rolled her eyes. “Well, should I get you the usual, Zett?”
“I’ll just have some water,” he replied.
“Okay. What will you have?” she asked, turning to look at me. She adopted that friendly smile again and if I didn’t already feel confused, I certainly did now.
“Um, can I have the cheeseburger and some water? And bills separate, please?” I asked. The waitress was clearly fighting back a laugh.
“Of course! I’ll get that right out for you. And I’ll tell Kevin you’re here, Zett. Haru already went home for the night,” she added, turning to him and dropping that smile.
“That’s fine. Thanks, Kristina,” he gave her a nod. She left us alone but came back moments later with our drinks. Zett didn’t look concerned at all, sipping away and leaning back in his seat like we were friends. Honestly, it kind of irritated me.
“What’s with the face?” he asked.
“Um… Aren’t you going to order anything?” I didn’t even know where to begin.
“No.”
“So you’re just… going to sit there… while I eat?”
“Yeah. Is that creepy?”
“I mean, yeah? You just came and asked if you could sit with me and then didn’t wait for me to answer,” I told him. He laughed.
“Well, it’d be rude to let someone as cute as you sit all alone.” He leaned in towards me, a charming smile on his lips and a devilish shine in his eyes.
“I’m not interested,” I shot him down. He immediately straightened up, that flirty look on his face melting away.
“All right, that’s fine.” He sounded nonchalant, but I needed to stay alert. He knew the waitress and I couldn’t count on her if something went wrong. You can’t talk like that to someone you don’t know well. Maybe the man across the aisle could help me? The market seemed pretty big, so I could probably find a good hiding spot if worse comes to worse.
“So, are you just using me as an excuse to sit here?” I inquired.
“No, I’m actually waiting for a package from the restaurant owner,” he told me.
“‘Package?’” He grinned
“It’s a secret.” He winked at me. Gods above, give me patience not to slap this weirdo.
“Hm. That sounds sketchy,” I commented. If I couldn’t hit him physically, I could at least get some verbal jabs in.
“Maybe that’s for the best,” he laughed. “I’ve got a bad boy image to preserve.”
“You can’t preserve what you don’t have,” I said. Zett choked on his water and burst into laughter.
“That’s rich coming from someone who looks like they call their boyfriend ‘daddy’ and would burst into tears when told their age regressing in public kink makes other people uncomfortable,” he replied.
“Excuse me?!” What is with people trying to get on my last nerve today?! I stared at him for a moment, trying to think of a good comeback. “You look like a pastor’s son who’s going through a punk phase to punish your dad for taking away your vape.” Zett howled with laughter, head thrown back and shoulders shaking. The waitress, Kristina, smiled softly as she approached us, placing my food in front of me.
“I’m happy to see you two are having fun. Zett, Kevin’s back in his office waiting for you,” she said.
“Thanks, Kristina.” Wiping tears from his eyes, he got up and gave me another grin. “I’ll be right back.” He left, following Kristina to the counter, chatting with her. I slumped back in my seat. But I barely had time to be alone. The blond sitting across from us walked over to me.
“Is Zett bothering you?” he asked, voice tense.
"Sort of?" I wasn't sure what vibe I got from him. He seemed like a devilish kind of guy, but did I feel threatened by him? Not exactly, but it was always safe be be cautious. "I don't know him and I wasn't too comfortable with him sitting with me all of a sudden." The blonde man’s shoulders slumped.
“I’m sorry I didn’t say anything sooner. I wasn’t sure if you two were a fighting couple or not. I can ask Kristina to get you a box so you can leave, if you want,” he offered. I thought about it. It’s true I needed to get to the Academy before it got too late. My food would be cold once I got there, though. But maybe that was the best option. I could reheat it, anyways.
“I’d really appreciate that, thank you,” I replied.
“Hey, Kristina? Can we get a box and their check?” he called out. Kristina poked her head from around a corner.
“Sure!” She quickly came over with a cardboard box and I quickly started filling it up. “Here’s your check, Mr. Hagakure.”
“Oh, I actually need theirs,” he replied, gesturing to me.
“Theirs is already paid,” she replied. “Zett covered it and the tip before he went to talk to Kevin. You’re good to go.” He… he paid for my food? That didn’t seem right...
“He did?”
“He did.” She gave me a wry smile. “You’re awfully lucky. He’s usually pretty stingy.”
“I’m stingy? Kristina, you’re killing me, here.” Out of nowhere, Zett returned, a large package tucked under his arm. Part of me wondered what was in it. He glanced at the table, looking at the box. “You’re heading out already?” he asked.
“Yeah, I got places to be.”
“Do you want an escort?”
“If they wanted one, they would have asked,” Mr. Hagakure cut in.
“Where are you heading?” Kristina asked.
“The Magic Academy.” Her face lit up.
“Oh, really? My brother goes there! I’d walk you over, but I still have a couple hours to work.”
“I’ve got some friends there. I could take you, if you want,” Zett offered.
“Oh, uh, it’s fine! I couldn’t possibly impose,” I said. “Mr. Hagakure said he’d given me directions, so it’s fine.” It sounded like it was going to be a long walk, but it wasn’t like I could get a hotel and go in the morning.
“Well, then. I’ll see you later,” Zett spoke up as I stood up.
"Later?" I wasn’t sure what else to say. I gave him an awkward wave and hurried down the path Mr. Hagakure told me to take. As I walked, I couldn’t help but think about Zett. He seemed so strange. Secretive, slightly annoying. There was something about him that I couldn’t quite place. While he didn’t feel that threatening to me, it felt like that could change in an instant. Perhaps I was overthinking things. After all, it was night and I was alone. Of course I’d be more on-guard than normal.
But still. I wondered if I’d see him again. Probably not, since I’d be cooped up in the Academy most of the time. At least he made my first night in Gedonelune memorable.
---
Somehow, I managed to get to campus and the Night Class dorms. The map that’d accompanied the packet I’d received along with the Acceptance Letter wasn’t great, but after wandering, luck was on my side and entered the dorms.
The building seemed so dark yet grand on the inside. A large staircase wrapped around an elevator shaft, dark wood gleaming in the light of several chandeliers. I can’t believe this is my dorm. It’s so extra. I took the stairs up to my floor. The hallways were lined with windows and stern stone statues. Honestly, even if it was fancy, there was a goth touch to everything. This place could seriously double as a haunted house during Halloween. Just throw up some cobwebs, splatter some fake blood everywhere, and it was good to go.
Suites were labeled with letters and lists of names. How many would be in my class? Who would be in my class? Would we all get along? I sure hoped so. I wouldn’t want to be in a class where no one got along. That’d be a special kind of hell.
Even though class was in session, most of the doors to the suites were wide open. At least I wouldn’t need keys for getting in. And finally, on the second floor, I found my suite, my name tacked on to the bottom of the plaque. That looked like the only bit of personalization in the suite. The doors weren’t decorated at all. I peeked my head through one of the open doors to find a plain kitchen with a girl sitting at the table. Her long, curly purple hair framed her beautiful face and when we locked eyes, she jumped a bit.
“Oh, sorry!” I spoke up. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“That’s fine… Uh…” She looked at me blankly.
“I’m the new transfer student,” I told her before properly introducing myself. Her cheeks flushed a bit as she got up to come shake my hand.
“Right, Nox told us you were coming. Sorry, I’m a bit sick and my head’s just not on right today,” she laughed. I made a mental note to wash my hands as soon as possible. “I’m Isabelle, I’m in the center room. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you too!”
“Are you going to be joining classes later tonight, or...?”
“No, I’m just moving in and then going to the Prefect’s office for orientation,” I told her.
“All right, well, I’ll leave you to it! If you need anything, I’ll be in here or my room.” She gave me another warm smile. I’m sure we’d become fast friends!
The doors were labeled with names so it wasn’t hard to figure out which one was mine. It was a smallish room. There was enough room for a bed, a dresser, a desk, and a chair. This would be my home for the next couple of days. Hopefully longer, but after all, I was just a provisional student. I still needed to pass my Trial first to become an official member of the student body. The next few days were going to be hard, I knew that, but I have to do my best.
I refuse to fail.

꒰ ꒱ this is an idol life ship for my sweetest and softest bb @sarahbkwl !! hope you like it hehe !! <33
----------------------------
꒰ ꒱ your entertainment company
꒰ ꒱ your training years
you trained for a year before debuting.
you auditioned for the company through yg global auditions and got accepted because they saw immense potential in you and your talents.
you were pretty shy as a trainee but goddamn, with just one year of training and consistent hard-work, you glowed the hell up as a performer and artist. [kind of the same scenario as bae jinyoung (my bb <33) of cix and wanna one]
before debuting, you appeared in some of winner and ikon’s music videos, which is where fans began noticing you.
꒰ ꒱ number of members in your group
there are five members in your group; two koreans, one korean-american, one japanese, and you.
two koreans :: one is the oldest, sub vocalist, sub rapper, and the visual while the other is the main rapper and face of the group
one korean-american :: main vocalist and the leader
one japanese :: lead dancer, lead rapper, and maknae
꒰ ꒱ your positions
you’re the main dancer, lead vocalist, center, and face of the group
꒰ ꒱ your roles
you’re the fake maknae of the group; you may look and dress in a way that is a bit intimidating, and your charisma be through the roof on stage; but off the stage, you basically radiate babie energy and your group members as well as your fans feel protective over you because of your sensitive and clumsy nature.
also the photographer; you’re known for your photography skills and you have over ten million followers on your instagram where you often post very artistic and aesthetic pictures of yourself, sceneries/places, your group members, and anything else that inspires you really.
꒰ ꒱ your group’s concept
a mix of badass and girl crush with a hint of sexiness. very similar to ddd by exid.
꒰ ꒱ your idol best-friends
felix from stray kids || as foreign idols, it’s no doubt you guys hit it off immediately as soon as you guys met and got closer at MAMA. you may be shy at first but with him, it was like an immediate sort of connection.
you’re definitely hype bestfriends !! constantly complimenting, supporting, and basically just hyping each other up.
vedi affectionate best-friend. sends you memes at 2 a.m.
oh and you both mc -ed for pops in seoul together and your close friendship is evident on camera; it’s just a very wholesome energy. needless to say, your friendship is one of favorites in the kpop industry.
seulgi from red velvet || you two would be the sweetest angels adskj
you guys did a dance cover as a collaboration stage and have been inseparable since then. you’re often on each other’s instagram and openly shows support for each other’s comebacks and professional projects.
she’s the type of best friend you can talk about anything and you would just laugh about everything. expect lots and lots rofl and majority of the time, you wont even know what you’re laughing about.
lots of cute dates at cozy and underrated cafes or restaurants in town, which are perfect places for your photography and perfect for her to try new food, especially desserts.
also she’s really good at art, especially drawing !! you’re both just so artistically talented and similar yet different in the best way - no wonder fate brought you two together as best-friends.
꒰ ꒱ your fanboy(s)
the members of verivery are huge fans of your group and have done a number of covers of your group’s songs.
kangmin especially is a huge fan of you.
꒰ ꒱ your boyfriend (public)
chittaphon leechaiyapornkul (can you tell i copy pasted that) aka ten.
i mean we ain’t surprised at this point. it’s an established fact that you + ten = purfect.
okay, so i see you guys being only professionally involved at first like your group and a few members of nct were doing this collaboration stage for an award show and it’s a sort of like group couple dance stage and you and ten were paired together. think of the who’s your mama dance stage at 2016 sbs gayo daejeon. similar to that aaaa
but through the whole process of rehearsing and practicing together, you guys ended up becoming closer because i think your personalities would just click just like that. i think ten is someone who can just connect with anyone but with you, it would just be a different and special sort of connection.
honestly, i think your relationship would be a mix of slow-burn and fast-paced. it would take him a while to ask you out or to confess verbally but his actions would show otherwise like he would do all those cute things like text you good morning or good night and face-time you regularly. he would buy you gifts. he would smile and laugh a lot more around you.
i don’t know why i also see him following you on his finsta accounts (that you already know about) and would probably comment cheesy pick-up lines on your posts.
when he does decide to confess, he’ll be so straightforward about it but not in a way that’s overbearing - just very sincere y’know.
you guys would probably keep your relationship private at first although he wouldn’t be the biggest fan of that but that really wouldn’t last that long.
the dispatch catches you on a date and pictures of you two are released and both of your companies would confirm the relationship.
and it’s a praised relationship and fans are supportive - of course there are inevitably and unfairly some negative response but overall, there’s an immense amount of positive reactions from fans that the negative ones are overlooked.
you guys would be the epitome of a romantic couple and so artistic too augh !!
oh and guess what, ten’s new best-friends are felix and seulgi now. eeep
꒰ ꒱ miscellaneous
your group gets your first win just a week after debuting, making you guys one of the fastest to win at a music show
even as an idol, you pursue art and photography as more than just a hobby. you make your debut as an artist two years after your debut and some of your pieces are displayed at art galleries.
your group is extremely popular and active in the US and you have collaborated with some western artists like Lauv, Little Mix, and Anne Marie.
----------------------------
thank you for requesting angel <33 have a beautiful day/night !!

It Doesn't Matter
pairings: han seungwoo x reader
genre: romance, fluff, bestfriends turned into lovers
warnings: none
word count: 1601 words
It didn't matter that a lot of girls were after your bestfriend. It didn't matter that he dated a lot of girls despite of you being there. It didn't matter that he was super tall and then there was you, smol as a bean. What mattered was, he was your best friend, he may not be your boyfriend — something you dreamt of, and that's what is important.
You had someone constant in your life and that was enough.
"Honey, wake up," your mother said as she pulled your blanket away from you. You grumbled as you bury your head further into your pillow if that was possible.
You were sure it was a weekend so you didn't know why your mother was waking you up early. "Leave me alone," you huffed, curling into your bed. You were determined to go back to sleep whether you had a blanket or not. You were too tired to function anyway.
"I think I'm a good person. I don't know why I have a daughter as stubborn as you! I've been waking you up a lot of times already. Seungwoo is outside. He said you agreed on getting breakfast this morning!" Your mom started ranting and honestly it wasn't something new. It was an everyday scenario. Nothing registered much in your brain except for the name Seungwoo.
Your eyes widened in surprise and in recognition. How can you forget? Every Saturday of the month, you both agreed to take breakfast. It was like a tradition. No matter how busy you both were, you tried to catch up.
It was way easier before when you were still neighbors. You always slept in his room or vice versa. It didn't matter that you were a girl. He only saw you as a brother (although it was funny because you were a girl) and nothing more.
"Holy shit!" You sat up as you remembered your plans for today. It was so quick that you got dizzy for a moment.
"Language!" Your mother reprimanded. "Now go get ready, I'll tell him that you're already up," she said as she folded your blanket and left it at the foot of the bed. She closed the door as she walked out.
It's been two weeks since you saw him. You were so caught up in school that you were not able to include him in your schedule. You were supposed to make it up to him today.
"Fucking hell," you mumbled to yourself as you dashed straight into the bathroom and took a quick shower. Then as quick as lightning, you put on the first set of clothes you saw.
For sure you were getting a lot of side comments from Seungwoo for wearing a dress but you didn't care. You were running late already.
You blow dry your hair before putting it up in a ponytail and applied minimal make-up. For once, you wanted to look nice. Not like it was a date or anything, psh.
"I'm really sorry!" You shouted as you walked out your room and saw that Seungwoo was already there, patiently waiting for you as always. Truth be told, he has been waiting for an hour already. You were difficult to wake up so he understood. He also understood why you couldn't meet him because you were graduating from highschool already and he was just as busy in the university, being 2 years older than you, but he'd find time for you. Always.
Seungwoo looked at you briefly before a blush crept on his cheeks. You raised your eyebrows but he was already looking away. It wasn't his first time to see you wearing a dress but you weren't always wearing one so it was a pleasant suprise for him. He thought you looked pretty but he was too shy to admit it anyway.
"Thank you so much, eomma. I'll see you later when I drop y/n home," Seungwoo flashed your mom a bright smile before starting to walk out the door. He addressed your mom as his mom since you were always together.
"Bye ma! I'll text you," you hugged your mom quickly before following him outside.
"Seungwoo, I'm really sorry. I was so tired, I forgot to put on the alarm," you apologized as you tried to keep up with his pace. Since he was tall, he had long strides and you had to walk twice as fast in order to catch up with him.
He only shrugged his shoulders in response. You knew he wasn't really mad. He rarely got mad. But it still made you feel bad.
Once you reached the cafe in silence, you ordered your drinks first before you sat in your usual table which was beside the huge window which gave you the opportunity to see different people passing by.
Seungwoo wasn't speaking, still. As you got up to get your drinks, you placed them on the table and went back to your seat in front of him.
"I'm sorry, no excuses. I wasn't able to meet you for the past two weeks and now I forgot about it. I overslept," you weren't able to look at him in the eyes because you felt guilty, so you bowed your head down and looked at your fingers instead.
He couldn't bear to see you sad so he sighed, "I'm sorry as well. It's just that I really missed you," he frowned.
You looked up at him, smiling a bit. "I missed you, too. I swear I'll make it up to you today."
For the first time today, he flashed a genuine smile. The kind of smile where his dimples would show. "So tell me about your preparations for your upcoming graduation."
And so that's how the rest of your morning went. You talking about your plans for graduation and him telling his adventures in his new university.
You didn't think he noticed but he did. The way you would space out because you felt like you were getting lost in his eyes. Or the way you would unconsciously smile when you hear his laugh. The way your eyes would fleet towards his lips whenever he'd smile or laugh at something stupid you said.
It made his heart race like a fool. He was dumb to date other girls. He thought he only loved you like a sister. But during his time away in the university, he realized he just couldn't like any other girls anymore. You were the one for him and he wanted to be sure of his feelings before he made a move.
"Smile for me, captain!" You exclaimed before pulling out your camera and taking a quick photo of Seungwoo.
You spent the whole day together. In the cafe, in the arcade, you ate lunch in the small restaurant in town that served spicy Thai dishes. By the end of the day, you were supposed to eat dinner in your house.
Whenever you were with him, it felt like time was passing by quickly. You wanted it to stop but it couldn't.
Seungwoo walked you home. He always did.
"Thank you for today, captain. I really missed you. Now go home before it gets too late," you smiled up at him as you approached your gate.
He seemed hesitant and super out of it so you asked if he was okay. He paced a few steps forward and then back. It was now or never.
"Listen... y/n, I know this may sound sudden. And I think this will freak you out. But I've been thinking about this a lot. I thought I just missed you when I didn't see you for a while but I guess I've been misreading my feelings..." he trailed off, not being able to look at you.
Your heart started beating faster. You had an idea about where this was going to. But you needed to hear it from him.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is, I like you. Not just as my sister or as my bestfriend. But as a woman. You're the one for me. And I'm not asking for an answer. I'd get it if you would say no,"
"Agreeing to this puts our friendship at risk. There's no guarantee and I can't promise that we'll work out. But what I can promise is, I'm going to try. We're going to try. I guess if you like me back. If not, I completely understand. You're very important to me and I don't think I can stand it if I'll see you with another guy who's not me," he started talking really fast, a habit of his when he gets really nervous. It was a good thing you heard and understood what he was saying.
You tapped your cheeks a couple of times, to make sure you were awake and not dreaming. You blushed so hard you were sure you looked like a tomato.
"So what do you say?" He asked as he scratched the back of his neck, his cheeks warming up as well.
"What do you think? You talk too much, Han Seungwoo," you grinned as you wrapped your arms around his torso. You were atleast 5'4" in height and so when the two of you hugged, you were just at his chest level.
You felt him exhale a breath of relief when you hugged him. As a reply, he wrapped his arms around you and felt him kiss the top of your head.
It was indeed a big step to take, but Seungwoo was worth all of the what-ifs and and risks.
You were finally home.

Fictober #3
I genuinely can’t believe I finished this. I had a hard time figuring out what to write, and I’ve literally had to write and edit the entire thing while trying to politely engage with my brothers, and also hungover. So apologies if it sucks.
#3. “Now? Now you listen to me?”
Roswell, NM Fanfiction
Rosa, Liz, and Arturo Ortecho. Gen. Hint of Echo. Post S-1
"Now? Now you listen to me?" Rosa cried, her frustration evident as she faced off with her sister.
"Well, look at where we are." Liz replied softly, with a calmness that made Rosa just want to scream even louder at her. Her sister gestured around them. It was dark in the park at the center of the town square, except for a dim light from the bulbs hanging from the gazebo.
"You've made your feelings crystal clear. And I'd rather we do this together than you going off on your own. What if Wyatt Long and his gang were to see you? He's already tried to kill both me and Papi. I don't even want to think of what he'd do if he saw you here."
Rosa looked longingly over Liz's shoulder at the lights of the Crashdown. It was the closest she had been to home yet, but the distance still felt insurmountable.
"Everything is so different now." Rosa admitted to her sister, trying to fight the tears stinging her eyes. "It's like I blinked and suddenly you're like this adult person who has her life together. My birth father is dead. My creepy secret friend turned out to have been literally possessed for our entire relationship and is actually super nice to me now. Your boyfriend is, like, a miraculous healer who brought me back from the dead. I just want one thing to feel normal. Papi… home… nothing has changed there, right?"
She was still looking past Liz to her home and almost missed her sister taking a slow step forward, her hands shaking as she reached out to embrace Rosa. Rosa buried her face in her sister's shoulder, and for the first time in her life, she let her baby sister comfort her.
When they separated, Liz pulled out her phone and looked at the time, and then glanced back to the Crashdown lights.
"It's almost 10." Liz informed her, "Papi will be closing up soon. Once Jose and Agnes take off, we can sneak in the back and no one will see you except for Papi."
"Really?" Rosa gasped. "Thank you, Liz."
"Be gentle with Papi, though. He doesn't know you're alive and he hasn't been in the best health lately. We don't want to give him a heart attack."
Rosa followed her sister to a park bench facing the restaurant, and they sat there together in the dark, watching and waiting for their time to come. Rosa leaned her head on Liz's shoulder, and Liz gently stroked her hair as they sat in silence. For a moment, even though there was a strangeness in their role reversal, Rosa just felt so happy in that moment with her big sister, waiting to go see their father.
"Tell me about something you did sometime in the past decade that made you think of me?" Rosa asked.
"Just one thing?" Liz chuckled. "You know I thought about you every single day, right? You were everywhere with me."
"So you should have plenty of stories to catch me up on. Tell me one now while we wait."
"Okay…" Liz was silent for a moment. Then, Rosa could hear the smile in her voice when she asked, "Remember the Fall Out Boy concert?"
"Of course!" Rosa laughed. "I was so proud of you that night! Alex didn't think you'd come, you know?"
"Well I showed him! But before we went, you dressed me up to make me look older, you know, for the fake ID."
"You were so uncomfortable…"
"I was." Liz confirmed. "But on my 21st birthday, I was getting dressed up to go out to my first night on the town, legally. It was 2012, and Imagine Dragons were playing that night at a club nearby."
"Who!?!"
"Dios mìo, so much to get you caught up on. What, did Kyle only play Taylor Swift for you?"
"There was a lot of pop princesses."
"I will have to fix that." Liz shook her head. "Anyway, that night I got dressed up in exactly the same style as you made me dress for the Fall Out Boy concert. An homage to my older sister, who still hasn't even turned 21. And I went to the concert and I danced my ass off, hooked up with a hot guy, and at the end of the night I felt so damn confident that I mirrored the look the next day...and the next. And, voila! Modern Liz Ortecho was born from the ashes of a fake ID and a Fall Out Boy concert, all thanks to you."
A distant tinkle caught their attention and they turned to see the lights shutting off on the Crashdown Cafe, as the last employees headed out for the night.
"Let's go." Liz announced, pulling Rosa to her feet.
They crossed the street and silently made their way to the back of the restaurant. Liz pulled a set of keys from her pocket, unlocking the door to let them both in. The cafe was dark, but the stairway lights were on. Liz led Rosa upstairs to the apartment they grew up in.
"Papi?" Liz called softly as she opened the front door, poking her head inside. Rosa stayed behind her, waiting nervously, as she heard his familiar voice greet her happily.
"I know, I'm sorry, Papi. Things have been really crazy. You wouldn't even believe me if I tried to explain. I've been staying at Max's house. But I'm here now. And I have a surprise for you. A really, really unexpected surprise. You may want to sit down for this."
Liz turned back to meet her eyes. "You ready?" Rosa nodded once, firmly, and then Liz pushed open the door and led Rosa inside.
"Hi Papi."
His face went pale, and he quickly jumped to his feet.
"Dios me protege!"
"Please, don't be afraid. It's really me."
"No." He insisted. "Impossible. Mi hija is long dead."
"It's her, Papi," Liz confirmed. "It's Rosa."
Rosa reached a hand out to her father. He trembled, as he allowed her to grasp onto him. "Oh!" He cried out as the tears started pouring down his face.
Rosa threw her arms around him, tightly hugging him, and he clung to her as he cried. Soon Liz slipped into the group hug, and the Ortecho family stood there, in their home, hugging and crying.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once they had calmed down from the initial emotional outburst, they settled down to talk. Rosa expected that Liz would take the lead, so she was surprised when Liz posed the first question to her.
"So how does home feel, Rosa?"
"Perfect." Rosa admitted, as she looked around the room. "It's just how I remember it."
"And Papi?" Liz pressed.
Rosa smiled as she looked at her father. "A little older, but still my Papi. Definitely feels the closest to the person I remember out of everyone I've seen."
"Everyone? Tell me what's going on, Rosa. How can you be here? Where have you been?"
"Papi… everything you've believed has been both true...and a lie." Liz awkwardly told him. "I know that sounds crazy, but it's true, Rosa has been dead for 10 years. You have not been mourning in vain.
"But Rosa didn't die in a car crash. She wasn't driving and she didn't kill those girls. She was innocent and unfairly blamed for all of that. She was murdered." Liz paused and met Rosa's eyes momentarily. Rosa nodded for her to continue.
"Papi, this is going to sound crazy but it is completely true. Rosa was murdered by an alien. A survivor of the 1947 crash who was obsessed with her."
"When I rejected him, he got angry and killed me." Rosa interjected quietly, shivering as she remembered his emotionless look in Isobel Evans' eyes.
Liz pushed on with the story before their father could react. "The aliens, they have these powers. They can do impossible things that we can't. The alien that killed Rosa just killed her with a touch, and then he somehow stole her body and put it into this alien stasis pod to keep Rosa for himself. And then he spent a decade living among us, murdering people, and screwing with people's minds. Until we caught him. With your help, actually, Papi."
"Me? What did I do?"
"At the gala last month, you told me that Noah volunteers at Ranchero Night. All of the murders occurred at Ranchero Night. That was the final clue that pointed us to Noah as Rosa's murderer."
"Noah Bracken murdered Rosa?"
Both of the Ortecho sisters silently nodded.
"Noah Bracken is an alien?"
"Noah Bracken was an alien." Liz confirmed. "But Noah is dead now too. Another alien, a good one, killed him to keep him from hurting anyone else. And then afterwards, he found Rosa's body in Noah's stasis pod, and he used his powers to bring her back to life."
"Why would he do that?" Arturo asked. "Was he just trying to fix Noah's wrongs?"
"No." Liz murmured, tears filling her eyes, and Rosa quickly realized that her sister was not yet ready to talk about Max's sacrifice and loss. Time for big (little) sister to bail Liz out.
"He did it for Liz." Rosa explained. "Because he's in love with her and he wanted her to have me back." Rosa heard a whimper escape from her sister's throat, and she took Liz's hand, holding it to comfort her.
"And bringing me back from the dead killed him. Which is why Liz hasn't been around much lately. Between trying to help me get reacquainted with the world and trying to find a way to bring Max Evans back from the dead, she's been pretty overwhelmed."
"Oh mija," Arturo cried, opening his arms to her. Liz threw herself into Papi's arms and wept into his shoulder. "I'm so sorry, mija. He was a good man. If he can return to you, I believe he will. Stay strong."
"I love you, Papi," Liz cried. Arturo looked up and met Rosa's eyes.
"What are you doing alone over there? I want both of my girls over here."
With a grin, Rosa jumped to her feet and leaped across to her father's other side beside her sister. Again, the Ortecho family hugged each other tightly, happy to be back together for the first time in a decade.

coffee grounds (part 5/?)
word count: 980
warnings: ANGST!!!!!!!!!!!
part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4
Weeks passed, and Gavin came to meet you at Common Grounds several more times. He’d started to text you fairly often, which was gratifying. It seemed like he really liked you. You weren’t quite sure of your feelings for him yet, so you tried to take things slow with him. Only a few days into this not-a-relationship, as Gavin was sitting in his usual spot next to you on the couch, he looked like he wanted to take your hand. Nervous, you reached for your drink and held it subtly in both hands. To some people it might not be a big deal, but to you, hand-holding meant feelings, and feelings meant a relationship, and a relationship meant commitment. Commitment you just weren’t ready for.
A few non-dates after that one, Gavin turned and sat cross-legged toward you on the couch. “Can I ask you something?”
“What’s up?” you asked, typing out an assignment on your laptop.
“Do you wanna go somewhere? Like, on a real date? Somewhere that’s not a coffee shop?”
You considered this. A date might not be so bad. It wasn’t wrong to go on a casual date with someone, right? People experiment and try new things all the time, you told yourself. This isn’t any different, I’m just trying a different way of dating.
“Why not?”
Gavin smiled. “Awesome.”
So after a few weeks of hanging out with this friendly coffee shop regular, you found yourself putting on a dress, making sure you smelled okay, and heading out to meet Gavin at a local sit-down restaurant. He’d offered to pick you up, but you’d declined, thinking to yourself that that was too much like what a boyfriend would do. Gavin was not your boyfriend. Maybe he thought of himself that way, but as far as you were concerned, you and Gavin were just seeing where things would go.
It had now been over a month since you’d last been to your old coffee shop. You wouldn’t admit it to yourself, but there were still some things you missed about it that Common Grounds just would never have. Maybe there were no barista complications at your new haunt, but maybe you liked complications. Maybe complications could be… fun.
You spent most of dinner nodding and “mhm”ing as Gavin recounted a funny thing that happened with his professor yesterday. He hadn’t done anything wrong so far, and in fact was a perfect gentleman, but it felt somehow different being somewhere with him besides a coffee shop. It was more… formal. More defined. In some way, you thought, maybe you were uncomfortable letting Gavin put in more time and effort than a $4 coffee and conversation.
After the bill was paid (you insisted that you pay for your own meal), you and your date left the restaurant and headed down the street. This was a nice area of town to walk around in the evening, with lots of odd little shops and sidewalk cafes and street musicians crooning softly on their saxophones and violas. The street lamps glowed orange in the falling dusk, and the air had begun to chill a little, just enough to make you shiver.
Gavin noticed immediately and gave you a look of consternation. “Do you want my jacket, [Y/N]?”
“Oh, no, no, I—”
“No, please, I insist, you’re freezing.”
“Really, it’s okay, I’m not that—”
“Hey, it’s fine. Just let me be a gentleman.”
You could tell it was useless arguing, so you allowed Gavin to place his coat around your shoulders. But instead of making you warmer, your stomach grew cold at his intimate gesture. Things were moving too fast. You walked on uneasily.
After a few moments’ silence, Gavin began to chat away again, asking you questions about your professors and your classes and your family and your childhood and your pets and your friends back home, while you gave thoughtless answers, your mind occupied elsewhere.
You asked Gavin suddenly, “You like coffee, right?”
He laughed, assuming you were making some kind of joke. “Uh, yeah, who doesn’t?”
You could think of at least one answer to that question.
“Never mind, I… forget it.”
He started to respond, but broke off when he saw the tired look on your face. Then, for a moment, everything stopped.
Coming up the street was none other than Racetrack Higgins, his blond hair tousled, a scarf flung loosely around his neck, looking for all the world like an angel in street clothes and Converse.
You felt your heart crawl into your throat. You couldn’t see him again. Not now. Not here. Not with him. You spun around, grabbing Gavin’s arm and trying to go back the way you’d come. “We’ve gotta go.”
“Woah, woah, woah,” said Gavin, grinning at you, “what about that gelato place I was telling you about? Moroso’s? Didn’t you say you wanted to go there?”
“Yeah, that’s fine, but we just have to go. There’s someone I really don’t want to talk to—”
“That’s crazy. Whoever it is, I’m here. Don’t worry, it’s fine, [Y/N]. Things get better when you talk to people you don’t want to talk to, even if it’s hard. A lot of times you and the other person just misunderstood each other.”
You were still tugging on his arm, trying to get him to move. “Yeah, that’s great, Gavin, but I really, really can’t talk to this person right now, you don’t really understa—”
“[Y/N]?” a new voice said.
While you’d been trying to drag Gavin back up the street, Race had come up behind you two where you were stopped on the sidewalk and finally seen your face.
“[Y/N]?” he repeated, his expression a mixture of surprise, confusion, and something else you couldn’t identify. Something… softer. His eyes shone in the light of the street lamps.
“[Y/N], who is this?”

Ok, this scene bothers me slightly, because it's like when the wrote it they didn't really care to double check themselves on it. We never see any pre-Sydney on the show except for when she was a kid and a quick bit of her recruitment during Q&A (1x17); all, to my recollection, silent scenes. In this episode (All The Time In The World; 5X17), they're going back (with non-silent scenes) and showing some of Sydney's life before SD-6.
In this particular scene ... well, let me break it down.
- Put on your dancing shoes. We are going out tonight. - I can't tonight. - "Can't" is not an option. Charlie got us passes for that new club in Silver Lake. - That job fair's tonight. I want to go. - Job fair? Syd! You've four years to figure out what kind of job you want. - My advisor yelled at me 'cause I still haven't picked a major. - Education. Done. Be a teacher like your mom. You always talk about how happy she was. - I thought about that. But I think of teaching as my safety net. - Teaching's no safety net. You know how dangerous it is to be a teacher? Kids bring knives to school these days. - I hate that I could make a decision now that would affect the rest of my life. - Well, I say go with education. Oh, Charlie is bringing a friend tonight - Danny something. We'll pick you up at eight. - I'll see you later. - Sydney Bristow? I was hoping I might have a moment of your time.
First, we have the location. That ''new club in Silver Lake'' is supposed to be ''a new coffee shop that has live jazz in the afternoons'' in ''Westwood''. The time, then, is also off: it should be ''afternoon'' instead of ''tonight''.
Second, Sydney doesn't go to a job fair. Earlier, before this scene in the book (Recruited), she's perusing the paper for a job - doesn't find one. Francie gets her on at the restaurant she works at, Les Amis Cafe. The end of her waitressing days also happened before this scene. The excuse for not going with Francie and Baxter is that she's swamped with homework - which, isn't untrue.
Thirdly, ''I still haven't picked a major'' is wrong, too. In the book, it reads: ''Only one thing was wrong with her mental picture. It wasn't happening for her. Not good for an education major.'' Francie also says to Sydney, ''So you're serious about this master teacher plan, huh?'' So, yeah, I'd say Sydney's planned on the teacher thing for a while.
Fourth, and my main problem with this, is that Charlie and Danny are never mentioned in the books. Francie is dating a guy named Baxter and (earlier in the book) she encourages Sydney to ask out her crush (Dean Carothers) to a party - it doesn't go well. No Charlie, no Danny. Now, this could all be solved by saying that not everyone read the books and the writers wanted to use characters that people would remember from season 1. Ok ... but, we knew about Noah Hicks (Sydney's first real boyfriend) in season 1. So, what, she met Danny and was just friends with him, got recruited, had a relationship with Noah, and then after Noah left she went to Danny? The problem with that is, again, Danny was never mentioned in the books. Too, I'm sure just using the names in the books cost money; which may be why they chose not to use Danny or Charlie - or Will or Marshall for that matter. (They have a Graham Flinkman and it's my personal belief that he is Marshall's older brother; that Graham either retired out - or worse - and then SD-6 recruited his just-as-brilliant younger brother to replace him. That seems like something right up Sloane's alley, anyway.)
My point is, the season 5 scene happened after the books were written and it was an exact scene; the same scene portrayed in two different ways. If they were going to shoot a scene for the show that they'd already written in the books, why weren't they consistent?
Unless they wanted someone to notice. I vaguely remember reading something about The Box part 1&2 (1x12-13 - the one with Quentin Tarantino in it) that they made mistakes in the episode on purpose to see if anyone could find them. As much as I re-watched the series, I could point out a lot of them; now, the only one I remember right off is in one scene, the woman has zip-ties on her belt, the camera focuses on someone else and when it comes back to her she no longer has the zip-ties.
I'm being picky aren't I? Oh, well, I've already started - might as well do the other memories.
Now this 'memory' I don't have a problem with - because it's a deleted scene. First, yes, Sydney did have to take a lot of tests and, yes, she did better than anyone. She was a little out of character, though. What's wrong with it is that Sydney doesn't meet Dixon until Noah Hicks introduces her to him (very briefly) in the third book (Disappeared). So all the tests she took, she took them before she met Dixon. She did bump into him on the way to Sloane's office in the first book (Recruited), which was actually shown in 1x17 (Q&A), but we don't really know it's him because no name was used, just a description. ''...bumping shoulders with a tall, dignified-looking black man.'' Again, it's a deleted scene, so maybe the reason it got cut was that they realized it didn't work with what they already had out there. Which begs the question: why didn't they do that with the Francie and Sydney scene?
Speaking of the 1x17 scene, she did start out at a desk job on the twentieth-floor. A difference is that the book says she had to sign ''about two dozen nondisclosure agreements'' and the episode has that number at ''about five-hundred'' - big difference if you ask me, but she might have had to sign more over time that totaled to ''about five-hundred''. Another thing, is that Wilson (her handler and recruiter into SD-6) didn't take Sydney from the hallway to Sloane's office; she was in Wilson's office and he took her to Sloane's office from there, and that was when the shoulder bump happened with Dixon. The hallway scene is actually more reminiscent of when Wilson took Sydney (to his office) to meet Pilar and Yoav, her weapons and hand-to-hand combat instructors, respectively. Other than that, it was pretty accurate.
This could have happened, plain and simple. There's nothing (to my current knowledge) that says whether or not it did or didn't.
In the book it says Jack was in car with Laura/Irena, and in the scene ... well, it doesn't say he wasn't, he was just telling Sydney her mom died. So, yes, this could have happened and it fits both the book and show, but wasn't this something that they actually varied with on the show? Like, it was a bridge then it was a road, he was in the car then he wasn't. That part I can't remember.
Also could have happened. It doesn't go against the other scene they had of her putting the puzzle together when she was under hypnosis. What's intriguing is how Jack is acting. He's a little colder in the hypnosis scene than he is in this scene, but that actually fits with his relationship with Sydney becoming as strained as it was. In the memory when Sydney first learned of the puzzle, and at her birthday party (which may or may not be an entirely accurate memory), Jack was warm and kind to her, and by the time Sydney has gone through the project and is able to build a gun he's starting to become cold and detached. Project Christmas itself is most likely the reason why. After all, taking your young child to Build-a-Gun workshop and then erasing her memory is bound to have an effect on anyone.
Now, this memory could have happened because there's no mention of her telling him she works in a bank in the books; so she must have told him at some point because he seemed to already know when he (finally) made a book appearance. ''She had barely even heard from her father since she'd started college.'' Although, we don't get to read how there first dinner went (in Father Figure) since it has her meeting him right as the chapter ends. After that he's trying to get her to focus on school - like he did in the episode but he was trying to be more stealthy in the book. Granted, everything that happened between them in the book would have been too long to show, so this memory kinda sums it all up. However, there is the small issue of where the scene happened. In the memory, it shows Sydney coming through the door and saying ''Dad? Are you home?'' The books, on the other hand, say ''His home base was still L.A., but he didn't even keep an apartment anymore, choosing instead to live in hotels on the rare occasion he was actually in town.'' Now, we don't see the outside of where 'home' is, so it could be a hotel. Although, with as much as he travels and how little she sees/hears from him, I doubt she'd have a key to get in - and what kind of spy leaves the door unlocked. Also, it doesn't really look like a hotel from the inside, and I don't recall ever having been in a hotel room that had a hallway in it; not to say that they don't, but if Jack just got a room for himself then I'm imagining him going for something basic. So books say hotel, memory indicates a house.
Could have happened. It didn't happen in the books, but doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Ok, I'm done now. I know I'm being too picky. I just love this series so much. They were the first ''adult books'' that I read and I guess it kinda just stuck with me. Which, technically, they're classified as ''teen fiction'', but there was crushing and kissing and kick butt-age and, of course, spy-drama, so at the time I was reading them they felt very adult.

Chapter Seven: A Whole New Side
Here’s the seventh Chapter I promised the Anon that made my week. @mayonnaiseismycomfortfood @board-certifiedbastard @iamnotbrianmay
“So what’s wrong?” Grantaire asked, sitting on the counter of Courfeyrac and Combeferre’s apartment.
“Okay. So, Ferre doesn’t get home from work until around six and I need someone to talk to Enj. Jehan is out of town so they’re not in the question, he won’t tell me anything, and you’re the only other person aside from Jehan and Ferre that he actually talks to.” Courf put down his coffee mug.
“What makes you think there’s something wrong?”
“He hasn’t spoken today and he won’t come out of his room. I tried to argue that aliens were real- nothing. It wasn’t until I started talking about the US government and he didn’t respond that I realized something was really wrong.”
“I’ll see what I can do.” Grantaire hopped off the counter and made it to the younger blond’s room. He knocked on the door and it swung open. He was greeted with the balmy scent of pine needles and muffled music coming from Enj’s phone.
“What’s up?” Enjolras asked, folding clothes and dropping them into a pile on his bed.
“I came to ask you the same thing. Ferre and Courf seem worried about you. I got a text from Ferre saying you seemed down and Courf doesn’t really know what’s wrong. He’s one of the few blessed children of the group that doesn’t have depression or anxiety.”
“They don’t need to be worried. I’m totally fine.” Enjolras shook out his hair from the loose bun it was in, flipping the blond strands back to retie them.
“Is that why you’re refolding all your clothes and working up a sweat? If you wanted a workout we could have for a run or filled water balloons with watercolours and thrown darts at them. You wanted to do that, remember?”
“I’m not refolding. I’m unpacking. I never unpacked all my stuff so I’m doing it now.” Enjolras closed the top drawer of his dresser, bending down to open what appeared to be his T-shirt drawer.
Grantaire took a seat on Enj’s bed and studied the blond. “Procrastination doesn’t sound like you.”
“You’re right. It’s not. I didn’t know if my living here was going to be permanent. It’s come to my attention that it is, so I’m fully unpacking now. I’m not breaking down and crying over it anymore because they’re not worth it. My parents aren’t hurt by this so why should I be?”
“Because you’re more human than they are, Enj. I’m not saying you should be breaking down and sobbing every night but if that’s what you need to do to heal, then that’s what you need to do. There’s nothing wrong with that.
“What they did was fucked up, sure, but you’re coming out on the better end, I think. They can’t try to poison how you think anymore, they can’t control you or whatever the hell they were trying to do. You’re completely free from them. The thing to remember is that you can’t force yourself to get better like this.” Grantaire lay back on the bed with a content sigh. “The more you think about them and what they’re doing, the less you’re going to be able to focus on how amazingly you’re doing.”
Enjolras stopped moving, his hands still in the dresser drawer. He hadn’t thought about it like that. By stewing over how he wasn’t going to let them win- whatever it was they were winning- he was letting them win anyway. They still had the control they always did.
“You’re right.” Enjolras nodded. “How do I stop thinking like this?” Grantaire shrugged.
“It’s hard, but it’s possible. It just takes time and support. You’ve got all the support you need. Now the rest is up to you, Enjy. Don’t rush but don’t drag it out either. Listen to your body and your heart. You need to do something, need some self-care, take bubble-baths or whatever it is you do. If you need to go on a drive to clear your head, get away from all this you know I’m a call or text away.”
Enjolras turned from the dresser and knelt on the bed next to Grantaire. He wrapped his arms around R and Grantaire was quick to return the hug. Neither of them knew how long they held each other before they ended up lying together. It wasn’t much longer before the two fell asleep, still in each other’s arms.
*****
It was an hour later when Courf knocked on the bedroom door before entering. He chuckled under his breath when he laid eyes on the two. They were still curled up in each other’s arms, soundly sleeping. He took his phone from his pocket and snapped a picture of the two before promptly sending it to Ferre.
“Enjolras?” Courf’s voice was soft as he shook the teen’s shoulder. “Enjolras.”
The blond hummed and curled a little tighter into R’s side. He nuzzled his nose against R’s neck and Courf chuckled at the younger’s actions.
“Dude. You have to go to work in an hour and a half. You should get some food before you go.” Courf spoke, slapping R’s head gently.
Grantaire jumped, pulling Enjolras closer to him in shock before coming to his senses. Enjolras’s eyes were wide and clearly disoriented.
“What?”
“You have work soon, Enjy. Get some lunch before you go. I think my boyfriend would break up with me if I didn’t make sure you ate something before you left.” Courf turned to leave the room. “You two are too cute.”
Enjolras laid back down next to R, the two looking into each other’s eyes. Enjolras curled up against R again. “You’re warm and comfortable.”
“Thank you?” Grantaire chuckled.
The painter revelled in the feeling of the boy in his arms. For all he knew, Enjolras regularly cuddled his friends and this could be completely platonic. But he’d never seen the blond cuddle with Ferre. Ferre kissed his forehead every night before he went to bed, but it was usually Jehan he cuddled with, Jehan almost always initiated it first. Thinking about it, Enjolras wasn’t an affectionate person, verbally or physically. Then again, having met his mother and based on what he knew about his father, Grantaire could see how the younger wasn’t.
“Let’s get some lunch and I’ll bring you to work.” Grantaire prompted. “We can cuddle more later. Don’t worry.”
As if on cue, Grantaire’s phone went off. He glanced at the text and shook his head in disbelief. “Guess I’m working with you today. One of the newer workers broke her ankle so I’m filling in for a while.”
“What do you usually do for work?”
“I’m sort of a jack of all trades, you know? I do commission paintings and logos, I work when I’m needed in a couple different stores and restaurants. I don’t have one designated job. I’ve helped my old boxing teacher with lessons in the past. It’s weird, but I get paid. Good enough for me.”
“Sounds interesting enough. You want some grilled cheese for lunch? They’re pretty much the only thing I know how to cook other than warming up a can of soup.”
“Sure. I’ll help. Have you ever made a grilled cheese with mayonnaise instead of butter?”
“No…”
“Come on. It’s going to blow your mind.” Grantaire lead the way from Enjolras’s bedroom.
*****
“Have a nice day.” Enjolras gave a small wave as the customer left the cafe. “Why is it so busy?” He huffed a sigh.
“It’s kinda chilly out. The colder it is, the more they want hot drinks.”
“It’s chilly? It’s like 70 degrees out.” Enjolras shook his head.
“70 degrees in July, yeah. People panic when it hits below 75.” Grantaire pulled his beanie off in one smooth motion, ruffling his own hair. “I should grow my hair out so I can tie it back like yours. Stupid regulations.” He put his beanie back on.
“I’m pretty sure people don’t like to find hair in their drinks or on their muffins.” Enjolras smirked, turning to face the taller man. “Besides, you look cute in a beanie. The curls poke out and make your hair look fluffy.”
Grantaire glanced at his shoes, the tips of his ears feeling warm. He was glad his hair was covering them, otherwise he was sure Enjolras would have been able to see the blush.
“We’ve only got an hour or so left, anyway. Then we get dinner and annoy the hell out of Ferre and Courf. I think Courf gets off around eight tonight.”
“I think so.” Enjolras commented offhandedly. “Ferre gets off around six. He’s more dedicated than I am. Can you imagine getting full-time hours during the summer? Sure, the money’s nice, but swapping eight hours of school time for eight hours of work. That’s gross.”
A comment like this would potentially turn someone away from a relationship with a younger person. If they’re still in high school, that’s a no can do. But for Grantaire it was comforting. This young man who had been through so much still had some innocence left. He still wanted free time in the summer, and didn’t think that because he was out of the house he had to take everything on his shoulders by himself. He wasn’t making himself grow up too fast. There was something admirable in that.
“We can text Jehan and see if they want to come down and play a board game or something between customers and dishwasher cycles.” Grantaire suggested.
“Jehan’s out of town this week, actually. They’re visiting their grandma upstate. She used to come down and visit their family for a couple days, but she got hip replacement surgery, so they and their mom are helping to take care of her.”
“Jehan’s parents got a divorce, didn’t they?”
“Mhm.” Enj shook his head. Second grade. Their dad cheated on their mom and she ended it right off the bat. It was a rough time, but they got through it alright. Their mom got full custody and their dad is now living a couple states over with his new...partner?” Enjolras scowled. “People can be disgusting. You swear you’re going to be loyal to a person and then go and do something like that.”
*****
The bell over the door sounded and both baristas looked up. It was Marius and Cosette. Enjolras was half surprised to see Cosette’s adoptive father wasn’t hovering over them, chaperoning.
“Hey guys. What can we get you?” Grantaire tightened the ties of his apron behind his back.
“The banana bread latte sounds interesting,” Cosette said.
“Alright. What about you, Marius?” Enjolras prompted.
“What’s the...Almond Joy latte?”
Enjolras clapped his hands together once. “That’s personally my favorite drink on the menu. It’s a latte but with chocolate, almond, and coconut flavoured syrups. It really does taste like an Almond Joy.”
“I’ll try that, then.”
Grantaire was already working on Cosette’s latte so Enjolras could start on Marius’s. Once Cosette’s was done Grantaire went back to the counter and asked if the drinks were together, to which Marius replied that he was paying for them.
“That’ll be $7.30,” Enjolras punched everything into the computer.
“Oh Enjy.” Grantaire stepped by Enjolras and pressed a button on the screen. “Friends and Family Discount.”
“Gotcha. Thank you. $6.57.”
“Out of ten.” Marius handed the bill over the counter and Enjolras gave him the $3.43 change.
“How long have you two been going out now anyway?” Grantaire wondered. “I haven’t heard a lot of the tea about you guys.”
“There’s not much to spill.” Cosette shrugged. “We’ve been together for two months. I had a crush on Marius for a while but never really got the chance to talk to him because my dad’s a little overprotective. But I was walking around downtown with a girl I...sort of grew up with and Marius came to say hi. He asked me out and we’ve been together ever since.” Cosette looked at Marius with a dreamy look in her eyes. “But you and Enjolras are both single, right?”
“Yep. I’m the only gay in theory so far.” Enjolras sighed. “Well, I guess getting kicked out isn’t a theory… I’m like 75 percent there.”
Grantaire chuckled. “My longest relationship was maybe four months but that guy was weird as hell on a number of different levels.”
“Well I’m sure you’ll both find someone you care about soon.” Marius said, giving Enjolras a look he hoped the blond would understand.
*****
“They’re completely blind aren’t they?” Cosette asked as she and Marius sat at a table with their drinks.
“I think so. I also think I creeped Enjolras out…”
“With that look? Yeah. It would have creeped me out if I didn’t know you better.” Cosette took a sip from her drink. “I think they just need a little push towards each other. They already look at each other like they’ve been in love for years.”
“Maybe they have been. Just not in this life.”
“What are you talking about, Marius?” Cosette’s confusion was clear on her face and in her voice.
“Well, I was watching a video on YouTube about reincarnation, and it isn’t impossible that the two of them could have been together in another life.” Marius scratched the back of his neck. “You’ve known Enj longer than I have- almost as long as Jehan and Ferre- and he hasn’t bonded with the rest of us like he has with R.”
“I guess you do have a point. Reincarnation, though? It’s a fun thought, I’ll give you that. How do you know you’ve been reincarnated?”
And the conversation soon spiralled away from the two pining baristas.

Setsunasa Headcanons
Me, on my bullshit of creating rarepairs between people who haven’t even talked to each other and trying to get people to like them: Parkour
-Setsuna and Inasa meet after Setsuna finishes the recommended students obstacle course, Inasa is still pissed after Todoroki being a dick but he decides to still watch all the others finish the race because THEY ARE ALL SO PASSIONATE and THEY ARE ALL SO COOL and HE CAN BE THEIR FRIENDS
-Setsuna finishes and comes to him and says “Hey you finished first right? Congrats.” and Inasa gets excited! Because he usually has to approach them first or he intimidates them and this girl is just so confident and nice for talking to him!
-”MY NAME IS INASA YOARASHI!! CAN I HAVE YOUR NUMBER?! YOU’RE SO COOL FOR COMING UP TO ME AND TALKING TO ME! AND YOUR SO PASSIONATE OBVIOUSLY FOR GETTING INTO THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND DOING SO GOOD ON THE RACE! CAN I BE YOUR FRIEND?!”
-Setsuna honestly feels a little bad for once because she came up to him partly to size him up, get an in with the best of the recommended, and maybe find out his weakness, and she did all three of those: He’s a fucking cinnamon roll who is excitable and hyper and WOW she was kinda a bitch for trying to take advantage of him
-So she says yes and they talk for a bit, show off their quirks, Setsuna shows off her gymnastics and talks about her skills, Inasa tries to but he gets easily distracted and goes into very long tangents, instead of mumbling though he yells
-She does manage to figure out through all the yelling and rambling that he loves people who are passionate and he sees good in pretty much everything and tries out anything he can get his hands on because it looks fun and he works hard at them
-They also unlock their backstories:
-Setsuna is the daughter of a famous actress and a quirk Olympics winner, they don’t spend much time with her but she doesn’t mind, she’s to busy becoming the best
-Inasa is the son of a single mother with three jobs in the more bad area of town, he says he was inspired by her hardwork and kindness to be the best him he could possibly be and that she even got him into recommended programs for a scholarship
-Setsuna nearly cries because it’s so inspiring. HE LOVES HIS MOM
-She leaves and when she gets home she finds he’s already sending her cute animal videos and she’s just like, okay this is my friend now
-Setsuna finds out like a week later he’s not going to U.A. and they have their first friendship fight, which is more Setsuna yelling at him for not telling her and him being more quiet and serious then he has ever been which gets Setsuna to calm down, clearly this is something he does not want to talk about
-They make up and even though they are going to different schools they spend afterschool time together a lot, going to cafe’s, restaurants, and parks, they talk all the time and invite each other over to their houses
-Setsuna loves to prank him with her quirk, and while he doesn’t get scared or even embarrassed he loves them and is always complimenting her control and
-Setsuna will detatch her torso and levitate it so she can rest her arm on his head, he will always turn to her and say “SETSUNA! YOU’RE TALLER THAN ME!” she’ll always respond with “Yes, yes I am.”
-She gets a call in the middle of the sports festival and it’s Inasa saying she was just so awesome for giving up her place in the finals and she’s so amazing and Setsuna in her head is like ‘jeez I didn’t actually want to I just did it for my teammates but she’s like “Okay dude just stop crying over how awesome I am”
-They also rant about strategies in combat, like “such and such did this when they should’ve done this” y’know what I mean
-After the news talks about what happened at the training camp Inasa visits her and starts fretting and almost crying and worrying and is angry to and it’s when he’s trying to take care of her that she realizes that “Oh he likes me like that” “Oh he doesn’t know he likes me” “Oh I like him too”
-Inasa is completely oblivious to the fact that he has a crush on her and just keeps trying to take care of her until she finally just has to say “dude I was uninjured calm your tits”
-After the pro license exam he is super excited for Setsuna and he’s happy for her, but he confesses he didn’t get his license because of what happened with Todoroki
-Setsuna tells him that he was being an idiot, but he’s her idiot and she knows he has a good heart and she then says that she’ll beat Todoroki up for him
-Inasa laughs and says no she can’t, she doesn’t but she’s five seconds away from it, and then Inasa confesses that he feels he isn’t worthy of being a hero
-Setsuna first instinct is to yell HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY FUTURE BOYFRIEND
-Her second instinct is to gawk at him because Inasa Yoarashi, the guy who got admitted into a second year only event, who is super fucking powerful, who has some good ass grades despite the fact that he says he isn’t smart, who was on his middle school’s football, soccer, and basketball team, who tries 100% at everything, who she is in love with, just said he wasn’t worthy of being a hero
-The rant and scolding Inasa gets makes him cry and hug her tightly, SHE’S SO NICE AND PASSIONATE
Setsuna decides to start flirting with him and it becomes increasingly funny and sad how oblivious he is
-Setsuna: Always invites him to fancy parties and buys him a new tux every time, also shows him off at said parties talking about how awesome he is
-Inasa: Like as a friend?
-Setsuna: Asks him to pick her up all the time, once even went as far as to ask him to bench her
-Inasa: As a friend?
-Setsuna: Constantly flirts with and even uses silly pickup lines
-Inasa: As a friend?!
-Setsuna: Kisses him on the cheek
-Inasa: AS A FRIEND?!
-Setsuna: gropes his ass from across the room by disconnecting her hand in a vey public space
-Inasa: aS A frIeND?!
-They finally get together at one of said fancy parties when she straight up asks him if he wants to be her boyfriend, he very enthusiastically after being catatonic for a minute says yes
-Inasa feels really dumb when she levitates herself to be lip level and pulls him into a kiss by his collar, HE COULD’VE BEEN KISSING HER THIS WHOLE TIME?!

PREMONITIONS 2 (5/8)
or, Adventures in Pursuit of a Seven-Year-Old Seer
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader Words: 2483 Summary: It’s been over a year since you met Bucky, and you couldn’t be happier. If only you could figure out why your precognitive niece is burying you in abstract crayon art… Warnings for part 5: Mild swearing, mild violence
Canisteo. Steuben County, New York. Population: 3,254.
Distance from the city: 300 miles.
Expected travel time? Five hours.
How long does it take you to get there?
Seven. Fucking. Hours.
A semi-trailer truck crashed on the highway an hour out of the city, blocking all three lanes and setting traffic to a standstill. You’re stuck in the same spot for almost forty minutes. After that, things pick up, but just barely. The cars inch along until, finally, you beak free of the bottleneck. With every minute that passes, you can’t help but imagine what horrors your family is going through. It’s an effort to unclench your hand from the wheel to change gears, adjust the heat, try to listen to the news…
Every minute is torture.
When you finally pass the “Welcome to Canisteo” sign, your heart leaps. Finally! You can swoop in, find your family, save them…
Find your family…
Main Street is quaint, almost disturbingly so. Light, colorful buildings with detailed facades line the sidewalk. The last snow was a week ago; what remains has gone gray and yellow. Weak winter sun streams in through thin clouds overhead.
You drive up and down Main Street, passing banks and restaurants and people wandering around during the lunch hour. No one is familiar. The sun on the snow is blinding, and you alternate between squinting and blinking.
After your second U-turn, you pull over. You peel your hands away from the wheel and go into park. Your hands are stiff, stiff with cold and terror. They tremble as you pull the key from its slot. You shove your hands between your legs and press your forehead against the steering wheel, vision blurring.
You’ve followed Gemma’s map. You made it to Canisteo. But what are you supposed to do now?
Well, sitting in your chilling car isn’t going to accomplish anything. You check the signage—yes, you’re good to park here—and stuff the map of Gemma’s drawings into your backpack. The bag is a solid weight on your shoulders as you wander through the center of town. Things seem as tranquil as they appeared at first glance. The restaurants aren’t too busy, the sidewalks are neatly paved, traffic is limited. After a lifetime spent in the city, the serenity is more disturbing than anything. Even if your neighborhood is relatively quiet, there’s still the hum of the subway, the cars and taxis…
This place feels halfway dead.
Every person you pass gives you a look, and you prickle under their stares. Sure, you’re a stranger. What of it? There’s no harm in city folk visiting small towns.
Your shoulders are around your ears by the time you duck into a cafe for a bite to eat. You haven’t eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, and your gut is cramping. You force down a sandwich. Nausea curls at your gut as you eat—more wasted time! these twenty minutes might be the difference between life and death!—and you try not to cry into your tea.
If you get so hungry that you pass out, you’re no help.
But having eaten, you have to come to terms with the fact that even sated, you don’t know what to do.
What if Canisteo isn’t the right destination? There’s no message for you here, not that you’ve seen, and you have no idea how to grill the locals. Interrogation is a skill you don’t have, be it as a good cop or bad. You don’t know how to weasel information out of people—being honest is what you’ve been taught, what you know. How the hell are you supposed to magically discover the—lair? Hideout? Maybe they’re upstairs in this very building. Who the hell knows! You sure don’t.
You bite your lip hard as you stare down at your empty plate. You will not cry in a cafe. You will not.
“Are you alright, miss?”
You flinch and stare over at the older man looking at you from the next table. Your heart races. Why is he bothering you? Does he know? Is he one of them?
“Y-yeah,” you manage. You unclench your fists, force a smile. “Just trying to figure out where my brother got to.”
The old man nods and turns back to his bagel and newspaper. Your hands shake as you gather your things. Is the man watching you? Are the eyes you feel on you malign or concerned?
Are you even thinking straight?
You flee the cafe, not once looking back until you’re locked in your freezing car. From here, you can just make out the man at the cafe window. And all he’s doing is sitting there, bagel and newspaper in hand.
You sag in your seat, breath coming as heavy as if you’d just run a marathon. Through the windshield, Canisteo’s tranquility laughs at you.
Why did Gemma summon you here? What are you supposed to do?
Were you even supposed to come?
Hands shaking, you pull out your phone and try Bucky. You haven’t tried since the last call before you left, and he hasn’t gotten back to you. But it’s been almost eight hours. Maybe now…
“The number you are trying to reach is not available. Please leave a message at the tone.”
You let Bucky’s voicemail message finish before hanging up. You don’t bother leaving a message. What is there to say? ‘Hi, Bucky, I drove halfway to Canada because Gemma’s abstract art looks like a Google map and that definitely means I’m in the right place!’
Right. Because that sounds so convincing.
You bang your forehead against the steering wheel and stare mindlessly at the dashboard beyond. The plastic of the wheel is cold against your face. Focus, dammit. There’s no point in letting yourself get paranoid. Gemma’s never led you astray before.
Astray, no. Into trouble?
Your hand drifts to your side, where under your jacket and shirt a scar lingers. The one time Gemma had led you into trouble, you’d been shot saving Bucky’s life. You were fine, in the end, and you’d gotten a dream boyfriend out of it to boot. For whatever reason, the assassin had never come after you, and nothing like it had ever come up again.
But now?
Kidnapping isn’t the same as murder. But as much as you’d stopped the bullet, it was Gemma who’d put you where you needed to be.
Your breath catches. Slowly, you sit up, tension clogging your throat. That fateful night was well over a year ago, but revenge is a dish best served cold.
Is this kidnapping to do with last Halloween?
“Oh god,” you whisper.
The silence is deafening. Your heart thumps in your chest. No wonder Bucky’s been off the grid. Of course he’s been ignoring your calls. If there are assassins involved, he’d certainly try to keep you out of it. He was apologetic about you getting shot even when you were a stranger. Now that you’re dating…
Certainty settles over you like a wet blanket. If anything happens to you, Bucky will blame himself. And you aren’t about to let that happen to the man you love.
The man you love?
Your lips part and your eyes widen.
Well, shit.
Sure, you and Bucky have been dating for almost a year. You’ve teased each other, shared longing looks, and reached for each other in moments of distress. But neither of you have ever mentioned love.
Maybe you’ve told him you love his body, or his hair. Even his arm, with all it can do. But not him.
Hell, it took months for you to even put a label on each other. You can still remember the summer day you took Gemma upstate when Bucky first called you his girl.
Your throat burns; you clap a hand over your mouth. Oh god, why didn’t you realize it before? Of course you love him—he’s perfect. Funny, beautiful, smart, sexy… And he’s had nothing but respect for you from day one. Not like so many others, who roll their eyes at your boring job or wince at your cheekiness. Bucky just grins.
Before now, you’ve never really worried about his superhero status. By the time you see him after missions, he’s back to his usual fantastic shape. The things you’ve worried about are more mental than physical.
But now?
If you hadn’t been there, if Gemma hadn’t brought you to the right place at the right time, Bucky might have died last Halloween, gunned down in the street with his milk and his phone. Steve would have arrived too late. You… you never would have met him. Your heart clenches at the thought. You can’t imagine life without Bucky Barnes. He’s your everything.
You take your phone in hand again, your finger hovering over Bucky’s name. He might not answer now, but he’s bound to listen to your messages at some point. You tap on his name and press your phone to your ear, your jaw set.
“The number you are trying to reach is not available. Please leave a message at the tone.”
This time, you don’t hang up right away. Instead, you wait for the tone.
“Hi Bucky, it’s me. It’s, uh, around one pm. I know you’re busy, but I w-wanted—” Your voice shakes. What if this is the last message you leave him? What if he doesn’t feel the same? You swallow away your fear. “Sorry. I wanted to tell you I love you. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but no matter what happens, I love you. So damn much, Bucky.” Tears are pricking at your eyes. You’re sure you sound wrecked. “Please be safe. No matter what happens to me, please take care of yourself.” You sniff. “Bye.”
You hang up.
---
The next four hours, you drive around Canisteo and the surrounding towns. There’s no sign of Matt, Sarah, or Gemma, let alone any assassins. With every hour, your heart drops. Isn’t there supposed to be some special time window for finding kidnapping victims? You can’t remember it off the top of your head, but it’s been close to twenty hours.
What about Sarah’s morning vitamin? What about Gemma’s? It’s the middle of winter—are they warm enough?
Are they even alive?
You try not to consider that.
The sun sets around five, and you go back to Canisteo to grab dinner. Maybe there’s a villain at the convenience store. Maybe it’s the woman with the pink hat and bubblegum, or the skinny teenager with skin-tight jeans.
Probably not the teenager.
Hopefully not. No teenager should have to be involved with anything remotely connected to this—but then you think of Gemma, and what she is going through at age seven, and you can barely muster a smile for the cashier.
There’s a hotel five miles away, and you drive to it with a heavy heart. For all your determination at dawn, today has been nothing short of wasted. What good has your upstate adventure been? You haven’t found your family, nor even a hint of them. Bucky and Steve are on the case—what was the point in getting involved yourself? You’re no detective. You certainly aren’t a hero, either.
You check into the hotel. When you get to your room, you pull the curtains tightly closed and dump the contents of your backpack on the bed. Gemma’s folder, your laptop, some granola bars, and a water bottle is all you thought to bring with you. You don’t even have a toothbrush. And of course, you’ve forgotten about the granola bars until right now. Great. More money wasted.
You open your laptop and log into the spotty wifi. You put the rest of your things back in your bag and stuff it under the bed.
It’s been over four hours since you called Bucky. There’s no harm in trying again, right?
“The number you are tryi—”
You hang up. There’s no point in leaving another voicemail. He’ll get it eventually. You curl up on the bed with just the bedside lamp on and search Google maps for likely lair locations. A warehouse here, an abandoned building there… They could be anywhere, and you just don’t know.
You hate not knowing.
An enormous yawn cracks your jaw. You don’t know how you can be tired after everything that’s happened. Then again, terror is exhausting. And you’re no help to your family right now. Tears come again to your eyes—you’ve never cried this much in twenty-four hours—and you wipe them on the stiff pillowcase.
Then your phone rings.
You sit up so fast your vision blacks out. You feel blindly for your phone. Your vision clears as your fingers finally catch hold of your phone.
It’s Bucky. You answer in a flash.
“Bucky,” you breathe. “Oh my god.”
“Darlin’, what’s going on?”
Bucky’s voice fills your ear. Tension you didn’t even realize was there seeps out of you at the sound. God, you love that sound. You hold the phone with both hands, fingers curled around it as though Bucky could feel you holding onto him.
“Are you okay? Did you get my calls?” you ask.
“I’m okay, yeah.” He sounds exhausted. Has he slept since last night? “I saw you called. Didn’t listen to your messages yet, figured I’d just call back. What’s going on? Did the police get back to you at all?”
In the background, you can hear someone else talking. Steve? It’s impossible to tell.
“No,” you say. You bite your lip. “Do you have any news?”
“We tracked them upstate, but we don’t know exactly whe—”
“Finger Lakes?” you interrupt.
Bucky’s brief silence is tense. “How do you know?”
“Because Gemma left a map,” you say, gaining confidence as you continue. “The art she left me—it was a map, Bucky. A map to Canist—”
A bang on the door cuts you off. You stare in horror as the knob turns, gray plywood splintering against the dark rug.
“What’s going on?” Bucky demands. “What—”
“They’re here,” you gasp. You scramble off the bed and run to the bathroom, locking yourself in as the front door slams against the wall. Your hands are shaking so bad you can’t even tell if Bucky can hear your harried whispering. “I’m in Canisteo. No, the hotel near it—Gemma’s map is under the be—”
You scream as the bathroom door bursts open. A man in dark clothes and a scarf and goggles over his face rushes at you. The phone drops from your hands as you careen back, and you can dimly hear Bucky yelling at you through the phone.
The man grabs your neck and slams you against the wall. You see stars as your head ricochets. The man lifts his foot and slams it down on your phone.
The screen cracks. The line goes dead.
The man slams you against the wall again, and then you see nothing else at all.
