part fourteen

"You know that you're allowed to be upset, right, Jude?" She asks, looking down at the tired-looking boy.

"I know, but it's disappointing.." Jude murmurs back, moving his head to look up at her. His head on her lap, as her hands delicately play with the soft, just-washed curls on his head.

It's a soothing and intimate touch, something they'd both discovered to create a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

"You can be disappointed. It's difficult feeling like you’re on top of the world one day, and the next you feel like shit."

y/n puffs out a breath, trying to reassure his thoughts and feelings with logical and rational reasoning.

Real Madrid had won the Super Cup final against their derby rivals Atletico Madrid only a week ago in Riyadh. Though, last night's loss against the exact same opponents for the Copa del Rey hadn't exactly gone the same way.

With the extra time and many yellow cards later, they eventually lost with two goals made by Atletico, throwing Real Madrid out of reach of the win in a very dramatic fashion.

It was a whirlwind of a week for Jude, and to him- all he needed was someone to help him sort his thoughts out.

"You can't change anything about the past, not even when you fret and ponder about it for years. You can only look forward and change what you think you can, think winning the league or even the Champions League, Jude…” She says, leaning back against the couch, warm fingertips hovering above his hairline.

"You sound like a motivational speaker.." He voices, chuckling while watching her recline on the couch.

"Well, what I'm saying is true. Like- when I thought you moving in would be the end of my life- it turned into- this.."

She points at him and back to herself, making a dramatic gesture.

"End of your life? That's harsh." He frowns, grasping her hand to prevent her from poking his eyes out.

"Well, then let's not remind you of the times I've wanted to punch you right across the face, wanting to wipe that smirk off your lips and-"

Her voice is cut off by his hand, it clamped over her mouth as only muffled noises escape from her lips.

"Should I feel threatened?" He questions, Adam's apple bobbing as he swallows, only to groan as she pokes her tongue through her lips. He removes his hand, wiping his wet hand on his trousers as he sits up from his position.

"No, I'm sure you also had hateful thoughts about me. I definitely cannot blame you.." She trails off, trying to recall anything pertaining to the topic.

"You were pretty annoying." He states, clicking his tongue. Jude fixes his position, making sure he's sitting comfortably.

"Annoying?"

She had expected the description and would definitely understand why, but why did it hurt a little bit?

Noticing the change of expression on her face, Jude grabs onto her hand, pressing a soft, tender kiss on her knuckles.

"-but in a good way!" He adds quickly, eyes raised in panic.

Of course, the words she'd just uttered were way harsher in comparison to his, though it being said explicitly and clearly for the first time since they'd met, it stung like a bitch- to y/n, at least.

"You would always say or do something that riled me up so badly. I remember when you first started interviewing me- and you'd switch from snarky comments off camera to acting like the sweetest, most kind person to me. I thought; 'Oh? So, this is how two-faced she can be?'."

"But, you'd also have moments where you'd confuse me so much." Jude looks up, leaning in to press multiple, back-to-back kisses on her temple.

"When?" She asks, eyes fluttering as she soaks up the loving, sweet gesture.

"Remember that night in- Naples? When you panicked about someone breaking into your hotel room?" Jude recalls, absentmindedly pulling her closer into his side, on the couch.

"Mhm, I remember- I was so embarrassed about it.. I thought I'd have to book it out of your room immediately before you'd start making fun of me.."

"I was not going to make fun of you. That's what you thought of me?"

"I didn't know! We were bickering like- every damn second up until that point."

"No, I was genuinely surprised at first, but when you left, I couldn't even sleep properly, and I didn’t even know why..”

"Well, what's the annoying part?"

She asks, watching Jude's fingers get entangled with hers, making her grin a little.

"You were annoying in a way- which I couldn't shake my thoughts away from you if something had happened that specific day back then. I couldn't put it into words, tried to rack my brain so many times, over and over.."

"You had this long-lasting presence, and the way you spoke and acted practically got ingrained into my memory for me to repeat every night. This definitely got worse when I moved in here.."

Making eye contact again, she nods in understanding, grasping the hem of his shirt to play with.

"You thought of me, every night?" She grins, smug look replacing her once confused and sad expression.

"I knew this would enlarge your ego.." Jude chuckles, placing another kiss on her cheekbone, before he's interrupted by a text message popping up on his phone.

"Who is it?" y/n asks, glancing up when Jude shows her the screen.

"It's my mum.." He simply says, eyes skimming over the lengthy message. After a minute of silence, he looks back at his curious girlfriend.

"She's just trying to comfort me like you have been. Asks if she can come over for tea.." He informs, hand reaching to wipe away a single fallen lash stuck on her cheek.

"Oh, that's sweet. Of course she can-.." y/n trails off, eyes darting away from the iPhone and onto her lap. Fingers starting to fidget with the loose threads on her used sweatpants.

Getting a comforting, reassuring text message from your own mother..

Something the young girl could not even dream of. Let alone speak to her own mother ever again, at least in this lifetime.

The thought makes her smile uncomfortably, though there's absolutely no positive emotion behind it, skin around her eyes crinkling in fake happiness.

"y/n?" Jude whispers, noticing the change in her demeanor and the tensing of her shoulders.

"Hm?" She hums back, her eyes darting up and locking with his brown ones.

"You okay?"

Jude is in love, not stupid.

Seeing his girlfriend's entire mood change, just at the mention of his mother isn't something he wants to just skim over.

There was absolutely nothing going on between her and his mother. In fact, after his parents had been informed of their oldest son's affection for her, they welcomed her into the family within a heartbeat.

It wasn't either of the two who told them, instead- y/n's understandably protective father had told them. This came after he'd talked to Jude privately, grilling him with questions only a father would make up- and of course the intentions question was asked, like they weren't just young people trying to figure out their lives.

In reality, her father had long approved of the idea of the two young adults having a relationship. The times he was home and present with them, he'd slowly noticed the way they had warmed up to each other.

Not to forget, months ago, his daughter had burst into his office- asking for him to handle something for her. Puzzled at his own daughter needing legal help for 'online defamation, because they think I’m dating that douche', he'd dropped everything to listen to her- only to end up laughing at the end of her dramatic and insulting (towards Jude, of course) speech.

It wasn't difficult, as an experienced adult, to guess where the young adults' relationship would go from there.

"y/n.." Jude calls out again, placing a hand on her shoulder, shaking slightly to snap her out of her thoughts when she doesn't reply.

"I'm just thinking.." She finally says, wanting to lie- but realizing that he is, in fact, her boyfriend now- it might be better in the long run, to be honest.

"About what?" His eyes flicker up, a warm hand pulling her in closer. Realizing the comfort or warmth she might need to open up and speak.

"I just feel sad.." The confession is quiet, looking down, she grasps onto the hem of her sweater. Trying to keep her emotions at bay, because this conversation was about comforting him, and not about trauma dumping on the already upset boy, she thought.

Jude blinks, looking over his girlfriend's defeated figure. The gears in his head twist and turn, trying to decipher what she meant with her words.

"Do you want to tell me why?" He asks, trailing a hand up, pinching her chin with his pointer finger and thumb, raising her head to make eye contact.

Her eyes glimmer with emotion when they lock with his chocolate brown ones, the corners of her mouth twitching as she tries to contain the tremble of her lips.

Though, it's insanely difficult, especially when multiple emotions are swirling around her mind, and the suppressing of the tears causes a sharp pain to pass through her temples.

She grunts softly, not being able to hold back anymore, the pressure in her head worsening.

Tears pool against her waterline, and she closes her eyes. Allowing a soft whimper to escape her lips, tension dropping from her shoulders, as y/n stops suppressing her emotions.

Jude's eyes widen, his breath hitching in surprise as he watches his new love practically crumble in front of him.

"Oh, baby.." Jude coos breathily, the soft, foreign term of endearment falling from his plump lips.

He moves his hands immediately, wrapping his arms around her waist, and pulling her onto his lap.

y/n instantly presses her face against his shoulder, grasping onto the fabric of his shirt. Her tears darken the blue shirt, as Jude's hand rubs against her back in a tender manner.

"You're okay, honey.." He whispers, pressing multiple kisses along her temple and cheek, rubbing soft, soothing circles on her back.

"Why don't you tell me what's wrong, hm?" He soothes, his voice deeper than usual, offering sweet and reassuring words to the crying girl.

"I- don't even remember how her voice sounded or what her personality was like.." I whisper, raising my palms to harshly wipe my annoying tears away. They just kept pouring out of my eyes like the damn Niagara Falls..

"Look at me, love.." Jude whispers tenderly, grabbing my wrist to remove my hands from my face. I can't help but feel tingles down my spine at the word he refers to me with.

The Brum accent combined with his deep, raspy evening voice- melting my heart instantly. It distracts me from my breakdown for a single moment, and I shift my eyes back to his, just like he asks me to.

"Take a deep breath for me, yeah?" He says, pressing a kiss on the back of my hand.

I nod at his words, taking a single, deep breath, before releasing when he tells me to..

"Good- you're so good for me, baby.." He gives me a small, satisfied smile, kissing my cheek again. He moves his hands, pulling my head back onto his chest, running his hand down my back.

"This okay?" He asks, making me nod. I sigh again, nuzzling my face against his hard chest.

I had just spilled my entire heart out to the boy whom I had sworn to hate for the rest of my life, only a few weeks ago.

The topic wasn't something I had openly talked about since I was a teenager in my psychologist's office back in London. It hurt way too much to talk about with friends, and it felt like opening up a bigger wound when speaking to my own family about it.

I mean, it couldn't ever get easy- talking about losing your blood and flesh, let alone your own mother. In my case, the person who had gone through hours of labor and delivery- creating me from her own nutrients and energy.

There was absolutely no way I’d ever comfortably tell someone that my mother had passed away in a violent car crash.

An accident that had occurred only because little five-year-old me wanted my mom at my graduation to primary school.

I had gone through years and years of therapy, though, of course, to me nothing could actually take away the wound and grief it had caused a young me.

I couldn't sleep some nights, mind trying to remember anything about my mom. Since I had lost her so young, I could only recall her face from old photographs and home videos taken by my dad.

"Yeah.." I mutter, eyes closing as I try to ground myself. Taking in the beating of Jude's heart against my ear and his musky cologne.

"Need anything?"

"No, just you.."

I feel his chest vibrating as he chuckles, the sound reaching my ears and filling me with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

"I'm here, love. Take your time, and we'll wash up before my mum comes over.." I feel his hand against my back, caressing from my nape all the way to the small of my back.

I hum in understanding, eyes fluttering shut as I try to calm down, taking my surroundings in.

"Okay.."

'Meet me in the lobby'

'Security won't stop you'

'We have free time for a couple hours'

I stare at the incoming text messages, my eyes darting to the sender. Only to read Jude's contact name.

I sit up from my bed, slipping on the hotel slippers immediately, and walk over to the bathroom. Trying to fix my appearance before I realize I don't know what I'm getting ready for.

I snatch my phone from the bathroom sink, sending a quick message back to Jude. I wait for a couple seconds, busy with applying mascara, until I hear a notification sound.

'For some dessert, love'

'Dress casual, I'm in sweats and a jacket'

'I don't want to look like a fool next to you'

I chuckle at the reply, nodding as if he can see me before sending a quick message back.

I eventually make my way down to the lobby, looking around and trying to be as discreet as possible. Hoping other staff members and players didn't think of going down as well.

So far, the only people who had figured us out were Luis and Lina. I mean, I couldn't exactly keep it that much of a secret after they'd sneaked a glance at my home screen when I had left to print something.

They had been nosy after seeing someone text me, and when they read that it was Jude- I could've sworn they died and came back to life in a span of two minutes.

I look around quickly when I step out of the elevator, finally catching a familiar black puffer jacket. I grin to myself, making a beeline towards him, and whispering a small 'boo!' when I touch his shoulder from behind.

"Hey! Shhh.." His eyes enlarge comically, and I feel him grab onto my hands almost instantly.

"I'm quiet.." I whisper, giving him a toothy smile as he drags me out of the hotel lobby, out onto the streets of Valencia.

I allow Jude to walk in front of me, our hands intertwined, as he suddenly stops in a less busy area of the street.

I raise my brows as he turns around, watching a smile form on his handsome face.

"Hi?" I begin, pulling a confused face.

"Hi.." He replies, chuckling softly, before he pulls me into a warm embrace. His breath hitting my neck as he plants a kiss on my lips and cheek.

"I missed you." Jude says, pulling back to look at me, while his arms encircle my waist, keeping me warm.

"Well, you could have seen me a couple hours ago, after the match- but you stormed into the changing room after you got that red card.."

I sigh, recalling the absolute shitshow of a match against Valencia a couple hours ago. The referee couldn't do his fucking job, there were multiple VAR checks, and the blowing of the final whistle- resulted in the disallowance of the winning goal, scored by Jude. Eventually, he got red-carded for dissent.

Nothing surprising, actually..

I watch a guilty expression form on his face, forehead wrinkles showing as he frowns at me.

"Well, I'm sorry about that- did I scare you?"

"No? Why would it scare me? I wanted to punch that referee too.." I make multiple punching movements, hitting Jude on his chest once.

"Hey, hey- don't get violent, little Miss, you can't use physical violence here.."

I chuckle at his change of voice, dropping my hands to my sides, and grabbing his hand.

"Sorry, sir. Any reason you've called me down here?" I tease, watching him smile at me, before he squeezes my hand affectionately.

"Let's get some ice cream. I saw a decent looking place on Google Maps.."

"Oh, what flavors do they have?" I ask, mouth watering at the thought of having good-quality ice cream.

For me, it didn't matter the weather. Ice cream could be consumed any time of year, as long as I craved it.

Jude tugs at my hand, indicating he wants us to start walking to the ice parlor he'd seen. I follow him mindlessly, paying more attention to his words than to where we're going.

"Umh, they have 'chocolate' and 'fresa' and, of course, 'vainilla'.."

I laugh at his sudden use of Spanish, quirking my brow up as he starts naming the basic ice cream flavors one by one.

"Are you just trying to show off how much you've improved your Spanish skills?" A huge smile tugs at my lips, my eyes roaming over his proud, cocky expression.

"No, just slipped out of my mouth. I must be getting the hang of it.."

"Sure, Mister. Now give me the directions in Spanish.."

I tease, trying to challenge him, but chuckle when he shakes his head violently.

"It's just straight this way.."

I scoff, rolling my eyes at his bad excuse.

Watching a small smile form on his lips.

"Sure, let's just go straight ahead then.."

The couple’s very spontaneous ice cream date is ended by the both of them chugging a bottle of water. The once very craved cold and creamy dessert now regretted by how big and sweet their portions were.

"That's a cute bicycle.." y/n mutters, not paying attention to where she's walking. Instead, Jude is holding her hand and looking out while they walk back to their hotel.

"Do you know how to ride a bicycle?" She asks Jude, looking up at the focused boy, busy navigating their way back.

"Of course I can. My dad taught me before I showed interest in football.."

"Mhm, that must've been fun.." She mumbles, fixing her jacket.

While the couple is intrigued by the small, new facts they were learning about each other, they don't notice the very few people walking past them in the streets.

Most of the pedestrians walk in a hurry, minding their own business, on their phone, or listening to music- trying to get home before it gets too dark outside.

Though, sadly, what they also don't notice is, the flash of a camera- directed right at them. Not knowing the predicament that would follow if they were sold off and posted on the internet.

The couple is happy in their own bubble, their hands warm from holding hands, unlike their noses, which froze up in the cold wind.

Just like other pedestrians trying to get back to their hotel, wanting to go unnoticed and undisturbed.

[wings-of-ink]

Hihi, I love your work and this type of scenario is my absolute favorite.

So I'm wondering if the ROs saw the MC just shivering and looking cold & miserable, how would the ROs warm up MC?

Hello-Hello! And thank you, my dear!

This is cute, I am getting wet-sad-puppy/cat vibes, lol. There may be some cold nights on the journey ahead to look forward to as well!

Oswin: First priority is getting MC dried off as much as possible. If it's day time, he'll get them in the sunshine with a fire nearby. If there is no sun, a sheltered spot for a fire. He'll wrap MC in whatever he's got - his cloak or the shirt off his back if need be.

Zahn: Body warmth - it's very effective, they will stick as close as MC is comfortable with. And FOOD - MC has gotta eat and be warmed up from the inside out. It is frighteningly easy for them to get a fire going when they want to.

Duri: They run hot - their clothing is also basically a giant blanket, they may end up nude in the process, but they will make sure to get MC dry and wrapped in it for warmth. They aren't the best at starting fires, but they'll figure it out.

Rune: ✨MAGIC✨ which does happen to work a little easier if they are closer together. They can get a fire going easily and they tend to have nice thick cloak at all times - MC will be feeling luxurious before long.

???: Likely to gently tease MC about being so sad-looking and try to irritate them into getting their mind off the cold. He'll gently rub his hands long their cheeks and up and down their arms to generate some warmth through friction. He offers a very close cuddle to make sure MC gets warmed to the bone.

Thank you for the Ask, Anon! ^_^

Here are a couple related ask as well if you'd like:

[hanjsquokka]

Manaaa I hope you’re having an awesome day and—I’m here for the ask game hihi: - [ ] 7, 9, 13, 16, 22 + 24 (sorry, I couldn’t decide) 💚

hi tan 💚💚 i'm having a good day, how about you? 🫶🏼 also dw aksjsak i loved answering all of these!! ( ask game )

7. as a writer, what do you appreciate the most when someone is reading your work?

i think this is what every author loves, but i absolutely love it whenever someone gushes over tags/comments/reblogs. after reading that, my day just becomes a little more bearable and i will 100% be giggling and blushing like an idiot because you liked my silly little ideas

9. what new genres/tropes would you be open to writing/reading?

fantasy aus! i have no solid idea or plan, but i definitely want to make an skz fantasy au, preferably like ever after high au. i'm not gonna work on that now lol i have other things i should be writing once i cure this writers block 😂 but that! and a horror/apocalypse concept as well (we're not getting all of us are dead s2 anytime soon anyways 🤷‍♀️). as for tropes, i want to write marriage of convenience & sports romance! AND hanahaki trope, that is just 💔 maybe a fic with no happy ending (?) idk, the possibilities are endless but these are the ones i look forward to as of now

13. if you could choose a playlist for your stories or any fics you have read, what would it be? 

i listen to my # superbowl playlist a lot, a bunch of those songs are my faves!!

16. post a line from one of your works. 

"Hi, beautiful,” he greeted, taking your hand in his. “How was your day?” — bed chem : hjs. i was actually blushing when i wrote this line 🙈🙈 i couldn't stop imagining the scene, okay now im blushing again 😭

22. what is a line from a fanfic you have read that has stuck with you?

He was sure there would be no one else like you in this lifetime. & This is our lifetime. — the bucket list : hjs by @pearbunny . i will never stop ranting about this series, it's so 🫶🏼💔💥❤️‍🩹😫🤭 i love it sm AHHHH. the angst us on point and the plot and everything to be honest, an amazing read!!!

24. what good advice would you give for creativity blocks?

currently going through a writers block. i just hid the docs app on my phone so i wouldn't feel pressured to write anything + turned off my notifs for tumblr. i scrolled through instagram for sometime and found some books to read for the next couple of days when i'm free (instead of writing). i also started cleaning my room lol there's so much dust everywhere (i don't even get where it comes from??). basically just reseting for a while. i might write a few texts fics because those are funny (and im scared that no one's going to interact if i don't post a little 💀).

so to sum it up, i think a reset would be nice! don't open docs or any writing apps, turn off notifications that overwhelm you and take some time for yourself! do something you've been wanting to do for a while and don't stress because writing is supposed to be fun, not freaking you out. words always flow better when you're happy and willing to write 🩷

[satelitis]

[snowddeong]

Snow! hihi hi, do you perhaps have any blog recs regarding itzy blogs? I joined Tumblr not too long ago and i'm having a difficult time to find full on itzy blogs. I found yours bc i loveee ryeji but if you could help i would hug you forever <333 (i love your blog don't mind the others)

Greetings and salutations anon hghg I feel you honestly 😭 I always try to search for Ryeji stuff but usually only find blogs that wrote some itzy fics once like 3 years ogo, haven’t updated in forever or write majority x reader.

I haven't interacted with them but I usually see this acc in the searches. They seem to write for all itzy ships? @femmehusbandyeji @lonewolflink @ddeongies haven’t posted their writing yet but you should keep an eye out for them hghghb. And I'm def sure K and Sarah would love to talk about all the itzy girlies and especially ryeji. West is a writer I really look up to and is the genius behind that one blindfold fic that won't leave my brain. @ghostheadlock primarily writes for twice but she's a ryeji enjoyer and someone else to keep an eye out for if you're looking forward to some good emotionally complicated ryeji. Zia hasn't posted in a bit but they're also a ryeji lover and their third eye is open af honestly every interaction we've had is me just going "AND YOU'RE RIGHT!"

Also thank you 🖤

The Winter Nightmare. Pt. 3

Bucky Barnes x Fem!Reader

Author notes: hihi! So this is the last part I have pre-made from my old account, so from now on it'll be a bit more of a wait for the next parts! I post parts after the part after it is halfway finished!

Reminders: @vicmc624 @biblophilefox82 @cjand10

You look over to Fury, a smile forming on your face.

"Thank you..! Thank you so much!"

He walks over to you and shakes your hand, "I look forward to seeing you fight." Then he walks off.

You turn to say something to Natasha, but get cut off before you even open your mouth.

"You fight better when you're angry." Someone says. You turn back to the door and see Bucky in the doorway, leaning against the wall.

"Is that so?" You say in an irritated tone.

"Spar me." He says, causing Steve and Natasha to glare at him.

"Buck, no."

"Y/n, NO."

"Buck, she'll hurt you."

"Y/n, you'll pass out."

Steve and Natasha glare at each other.

"So you care more about your friend getting hurt than Y/n hurting herself?!"

"She hates Bucky! She'll hurt him more!"

Then an argument insures.

You and Bucky just lock eyes, annoyed at your two friends.

You grab your bag and walk out of the training room, Bucky following behind you.

"Those two are going to be the death of me I swear..." He sighs.

"Honestly. Do dumbass fights like that happen often here?"

"I dont know if they ever stop."

"Dear god.. I'm going to jump out the window I swear.."

The two of you make small talk as you walk up to your floor. It was the first non violent interacting you've had since.. Well forever. Maybe you two could actually become friends, perhaps you could learn to like this new Bucky.

No. Not the 'new Bucky'.

Bucky.

Not the Winter Soldier.

"Well, talk to you later I guess." You say, walking to the back of the floor to your room.

"Yeah."

You walk into your room and then into the bathroom. You take a shower and as you do, you start to think.

Maybe he's not so bad.

Maybe you judged him too quickly.

Natasha was right. He's a different person.

You might not know exactly what happened to him, but you could tell he was different.

You finish up your shower quickly, deciding that you should probably talk to him.

You quickly get dressed and dry your hair.

Just as you get up to leave your room, you hear a knock.

Great. Is all you think.

You finally decide to make amends with the demon who haunted your past and someone is getting in the way.

You go and open up the door. You expect to see Natasha or Wanda, maybe even Steve.

Who you see instead is...

Bucky...?

"Oh hey.." You say.

"Hey.. Can I talk to you?" He asks, which catches you off guard.

"Yeah! I was actually about to go talk to you.." You mumble the last part.

The two of you go sit on your bed. Neither of you say anything for a few minutes.

"I just want an explanation..." You say finally, breaking the silence.

So Bucky gives one. He explains the brain washing. He explains the fact that he barley remembers any of it, but seeing you again brought back memories. He explains everything.

"I am... So sorry.." You pitifully say, looking at him.

"You shouldn't be apologizing. I should. I.. Did some horrible things and-"

"You didn't want to. I chose to hate you before I knew what exactly happened. You had no control of your actions. I did."

"You had a damn good reason to hate me." His voice slightly cracks with tears, "Look, I don't want to get rid of my past.. But I want to move on from it."

"So do I.. I just.. I dont know if I can yet.." You stutter from your own choked back tears.

The room goes quiet again, but it was a comforting silence.

"I'm sorry, Flare."

"So am I."

And with that, the two of you just cry silently. Tears roll down your faces, an occasional hiccuping breath filling the room.

After a few minutes the two of you calm down.

"I'm gonna go watch some TV if you wanna co-"

You get cut off by yelling.

"Flare! Buck'! We're having a meeting! Let's go!"

The two of you quickly get up and go to the meeting room.

"We found another HYDRA base with valuable information in it. We need to infiltrate." Tony says.

"Ooh ooh! Can I go? I know how those places function! I can pick the locks! I also know where the guards hide!"

Everyone looks around at each other after you say that.

"I don't know if that's a good idea." Steve sighs.

"I agree," Tony starts, "It hasn't been long since you were taken out from one of those bases. It could be triggering."

You deeply sigh, "I am OFFERING to go there. I want to go and take down the base. It could help me get over my past. Hell, I can easily sneak around in a place like that!"

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"I was allowed to go on HYDRA missions. Why can't she?" Bucky interrupts.

"Because, Buck."

"Okay, bEcAuSe isn't a reason." You say, clearly very irritated.

The room goes silent.

"I'm going wether you like it or not."

"You aren't going." Tony says in a stern tone.

"Yes. I. Am."

"No you aren't."

"I mean, I think she should go." Bucky says.

"Okay Barnes, you aren't saying anything useful so shut it." You say, trying to keep yourself composed.

"Y/n. You aren't going. You don't have a suit. It could be triggering. It is final."

You clench your fists.

"I do NOT care what you say. Those people tortured me for most of my life, I will end theirs."

Everyone looks around at each other again. They all realize that you aren't going to give up until you get your way.

Steve sighs, "Fine. You can go."

"Yay!" You say, your demeanor changing from angry to happy in the span of a second.

"So where's the base?" Natasha asks, changing the subject.

"Turns out there was base right near the one Y/n was kept at."

"Uuuuugh!" You groan, "I coulda told you that! You could see that base from the one I was at!"

"Wait," Natasha starts, looking at you, "You KNEW about this place?!"

"Uh yeah? The bases were practically intertwined. Anyway, I can completely sneak around that base, easy. The two bases were identical."

"Maybe bringing you with us won't be such a bad idea.."

For the next few hours, you all talk about the mission. Going is you, Bucky, Steve, Tony, Clint, and Natasha.

Three days. The mission is in THREE DAYS.

You took a hitched breath when that was mentioned, but you chose not to say anything. You just got your spot in the mission set, why complain now?

"We can have Clint sneak in the vents-"

"Don't go in the vents." You and Natasha say at the same time.

"Why's that?" Tony asks, arching an eyebrow at the two of you.

"Guards hide in the vents. They have multiple guns, knives, and other weapons. They're trained too, I dont know how well, but they're trained in fighting. Do other HYDRA bases not have that?" You sigh, sick of this seemingly never ending meeting.

"No they don't," Steve starts, looking over to you, "That's why this base, and the one you were at, are so dangerous."

"Hm."

"So we're all clear on the start of the mission?"

"Yeah."

"Yup."

"Sure."

"Guess so."

"Mhm!"

"Alright. Go chill out, or train. Training would probably be helpful but none of you ever listen to me so."

Everyone goes into the common floor and chills out. Well, except for Steve, he goes and trains.

You dont know why, but you continuously find yourself glancing over at Bucky.

Your mind goes back to the conversation earlier. He'd.. Opened up to you? Well you had opened up to him as well, so it wasn't that weird... right?

Did you forgive him? Well you don't feel overly mad whenever you see him anymore so that's a start for sure. I mean you did-

"Sparkler, you alright?" Natasha asks, interrupting your thoughts. Sparkler was a name you'd earned after constantly making small flame sparks out of your hands when you were bored.

"Hm? Oh, yeah I'm alright." Randomly going silent wasn't very odd for you, Bucky had done it to. Going quiet usually meant being deep in thought, typically about your past.

"Kay, I'm going to go make lunch, want some?"

You hadn't realized it was already noon, geez that meeting was long. "Sure."

The two of you get up and walk to the kitchen. "What're you gonna make?" You ask.

"Dunno, might make a salad.. Shit-" She responds, adding the last part as she accidentally knocks over the glass you'd put in the drying rack earlier, causing it to fall and shatter.

The crash makes you jump, shattering glass freaks you out after what happened when you were younger. You take in a sharp, hitched breath.

"You alright?" Natasha asks, sweeping up the shards.

"Y-yeah.. The sound of shattering glass just kinda freaks me out a bit.."

She just nods as she finished cleaning up.

She makes a salad and so do you.

"I gotta say, the food here is much better than the food they gave me at HYDRA." You laugh, taking a bite of your food.

"I bet." Natasha responds, taking a bite of hers.

The two of you finish your food and walk back into the common room.

The rest of the day was spent just chilling out. Talking, watching TV, eating, a few people went to train.

Before long everyone ate dinner and then went to sleep.

Except you.

You don't go to sleep.

You go up to your floor, sure, but not to bed.

You instead go to the large window in the dining room and look up at the stars.

You'd always loved the stars. They were the opposite of you. They sit up in darkness, a cool breeze below them, basking in the moonlight.

You lean your head closer to the cool glass to get a better look at the moon.

"You alright?"

The voice makes you flinch, causing you to slam your head against the window.

"Ow shit-! What do you want, Barnes?!" You sigh, exasperated.

"Sheesh," He says, putting his hands up, "Just checking up on you, you're quite literally staring out the window. Can't sleep?"

"Haven't tried. I was looking at the stars."

"They're quite pretty, aren't they?"

"Yeah.."

"You remind me of the night."

You give him a confused look, "What do you mean?"

"Cold, but pleasant once you get used to it."

You feel your heart skip a beat and butterflies flutter in your stomach.

Wait

WHAT?! 

No no no no! You can NOT think of him like this!

"Hm." Is all you can manage. You simply hope the darkness of the night conceals your blushing cheeks. A small smile crosses your face.

"Here follow me, I'm gonna show you a better place to watch the stars."

He walks off and you follow. He brings you up a few sets of stars until you get to the roof.

"Wow.. The stars are beautiful up here.." You say staring up at the dark sky, speckled with little dots of light.

"Yeah, i like to come up here sometimes."

The city light below no longer floods out the light of the stars, letting the full brightness glow.

You lay down, the coldness of both the night and the roof encasing you in a cool blanket.

Bucky sits next to you, also looking up into the sky.

"Ooh look! A shooting star!" You say, pointing at one flying across the sky, "Make a wish!" You giggle.

After a while of staring at the stars with Bucky, you feel your eye grow heavy. You yawn.

"Well, I'm gonna go head to bed. See you in the morning."

"Night."

You get up and walk back to your floor. All the while rethinking everything that happened. Especially the beginning.

He'd... Complemented you?

No no, surely you were taking it the wrong way, right? He was just being nice right?

No no no no! You're thinking too much into it! You should just get to bed and shut your eyes and go to bed.

So that's what you try to do.

Yeah it doesn't work.

You cant seem to ease your racing thoughts.

You BLUSHED when he said something to you. People only do that with someone they like, right? No way you were starting to develop feelings for him

...Right?

Oh dear god, you are! You like Bucky fucking Barnes!

What do you do about this?! You've hated him forever, what made you suddenly change!?

You groan into your pillow.

Well, you, Natasha, and Wanda are having a girls night tomorrow night, so you'll ask them what yo do then.

Oh but what if they make fun of you? What if they can't help you?

WHAT IF THEY TELL HIM?!

You groan again.

With your mind still racing, you close your eyes and fall asleep.

hihi! i know you must get these a lot, but i really can't help myself from complimenting the game!

i enjoy how wayfarer is not rushed, or includes massive plot holes - if there are any - and i feel immersed within the story.

i especially love how aeran is not a simple, boring character that is only there as some type of support. he has trauma, he has issues, he gets me irritated sometimes, but despite that, you still manage to find a way to make me love him. he's his own individual.

not only that, you created an entire world rich with lore and history. i can understand that this is no simple feat. it really makes me wonder how you managed to do it!

wayfarer is officially one of my favorite interactive fictions. i am happy to have stumbled upon it, and i look forward to the future updates!

Thank you so much for the kind words! 💕I'm very proud of the worldbuilding and Aeran's character arc (you're in for a treat if you stick with him, but not sticking with him is also very valid 😂). I'm so glad that it's resonated with players.

sunlight of life

@lyfjqberg

There was only one way to really familiarize yourself with your surroundings, and that was through a nice dose of exploration. Just being able to see the grand way Garreg Mach stretched out over the land in every direction was a treat in and of itself, but the fact that Maria could actually explore it? That was simply wonderful, and she fully intended to take advantage of whatever freedom she had to roam. 

And oh, how delightful even the paths in between seemed to be, smooth paths lined with plenty of trees and greenery, and an abundance of friendly creatures that seemingly manifested in their shade. From the stone beneath her heels to the blindingly bright skies overhead, it felt as though the whole of the monastery had been bathed in sunlight. Thus, what better place was there to explore in the heat of midday than the curious shadows and forgotten nooks? 

Just as she had tucked herself away in a cool and calm room she knew not where, a pleased giggle slipping out as she peered about her surroundings, Maria heard the faintest clatter. Quickly glancing toward the source of the sound, she caught sight of something laying on the floor and a flutter of gray slipping through the doorway. With all haste, she rushed to pick it up, rushing to catch its owner before they turned down one of the many corners ahead. 

“Excuse me!” Her head peeped from the doorway, glancing back and forth before running in the direction of the only figure in the hall; she would be lying if she said the thud of the heart in her chest or the sparkle in her eyes had nothing to do with the sudden hope for friendship that had just flickered to life. “Excuse me, but you dropped this--!”

"Can I Kiss You?" | Albedo

Contents: gn!reader, kissing obv

Synopsis: It's about time one of you made your move.

a/n: hihi

Dragonspine was as quiet as ever. Pure white snow and gray mountains painted a picture of untouched serenity. Howling winds and the occasional crunch of snow beneath your boots were the only sounds for seemingly miles around. It gave you time to think.

You didn't dislike the icy mountain, it was trekking through the knee-high snow and the frigid temperature that made it so exhausting. So after spending a whole day completing commissions, all you yearned to do was collapse into bed and fall into an endless slumber.

Your muscles groan and your stomach rumbles violently. To say you were suffering was an understatement. How much farther? You grunt, teeth chattering from the sheer cold.

"Hello? Is someone there?" A familiar voice calls out from the fog. You flinch, reaching for your sword when a figure steps out into your path. "Oh, you are..."

"Albedo." You heave a sigh, shoulders falling in relief. The blue-eyed alchemist hums, speaking once again.

"What brings you here today, Y/n? You look tired." He states matter-of-factly. You spot a clipboard and a messy sketch of... something. "Commissions- the usual." You huff out a laugh, straightening your posture while ignoring how his cerulean gaze seemingly bore into your soul.

"I see," he says. "Then, if you're all finished, why not come back to my campsite? You can rest for a while."

You perk up, suddenly remembering the cold tremors wracking through your body. But just as quickly, you shake your head. "I shouldn't, really." You decline, forcing a smile.

Albedo stares, then shakes his head. "You're shivering."

"That's- well--"

"Follow me." He says- no, orders.

It doesn't take long for the two of you to reach the campsite. It's cozy, and warm. Scattered pages lay in heaps upon his desk. You eyed the half empty bottles and bubbling solutions to your right.

You shake your head and turn to the alchemist to thank him, only to find him already staring at you. "You know, I'm starting to think you didn't invite me here out of the goodness of your heart." You joke, a coy smile pulling at your chapped lips.

"You're observant." Albedo nods, fiddling with the pages of research before him. You're left to wander on your own, letting the sounds of clinking glass the occasional shifting of papers lull you into a sense of calmness.

You throw glances over your shoulder, watching him work. He's cute. Memories of laying in bed while feelings for the alchemist rush at you full-force play in your mind. Just like a lovesick little schoolkid.

However, you're more than content with your relationship now. You're both busy people, and you doubt he could be focused on anything other than his research.

"Y/n." Albedo clears his throat. He's closer than you remembered; you can feel his breath on your neck. When did he...?

"Ye-Yeah?" You pivot on your heel, heartbeat spiking when you almost brush noses. Close. Close. Close.

He's beautiful. Your mind blanks when he brushes his cold fingers against your knuckles. Your lips part to speak but your words die on your tongue.

He seems amused by your reaction, evident by the smile playing along his lips. You step back- he steps forward, chasing the distance between you two. "Y/n," he repeats. "Your face is red."

Your mind races with all kinds of curses, questions, and screaming. Of course your face is red. He's leaning into you, eyes flickering from your eyes to your lips.

"Can I kiss you?"

His lips slot against yours, singlehandedly making your knees buckle. Soft. He smells like pine wood, and tastes of sugar. Vaguely, you remember Klee telling you about Albedo's recent addiction to sweets.

Your mind spirals, and your hands wander to desperately grasp onto his hoodie. For a guy that barely interacted with people, he was adept at kissing you senseless.

Reluctantly, you pull away. The way he chases after your lips makes butterflies erupt in your stomach.

"Albe--"

He surges forward again, chuckling against your lips. Arms wrapped securely around your waist, Albedo basks in the way you melt in his arms.

He's waited long enough.

[mishkakagehishka]
