The ADHD experience is forgetting where you set you cup down five minutes ago, but being able to pick up where you end off in a conversation you had 10 years ago. It's remembering the fine details of a book but forgetting who gave it to you, or if you bought it yourself. It's remembering a thing your best friend mentioned an interest in, but forgetting their birthday even though you've been best friends for 10+ years.
When we are bored, we become the equivalent of a husky in a cubicle. When the boredom gets bad, we break down, crying, and fall into a deep depression.
It's randomly getting the intense and overwhelming craving for a bowl of plain rice or a slice of bread with a little butter on it, and craving nothing else. Just this dose of carbs that brings absolute satisfaction.
It's fighting to convince your body to move and acquire food and water, but you remain trapped on the sofa, your brain and body will not move even though you haven't eaten or had anything to drink in 12 hours. You need to use the bathroom, your bladder is raging, and the only thing that finally gets your brain to behave is the pain.
ADHD isn't just some cute thing of being distracted with a case of the zoomies. It's a nightmare that results in losing jobs, poor eating habits, insomnia so bad you're awake for three days and fall asleep only because you're exhausted, and your home is filthy even though you desperately want to clean it up. There's nothing enjoyable about this fuckery.
#chaosfay talks#adhd#my hatred of vermin ants and other pests as well as my allergies are what keep my home clean. though i fight my brain so i can clean#the bathroom. the chemicals mess with my asthma so i wear a mask and gloves are necessary because of textures and skin reactions#i have a small wardrobe and hate shopping for clothes which means laundry gets done. a small house means it gets put away ASAP#but kitchen stuff? cooking is extremely difficult because i get distracted and forget to do things. ny husband is a professional#cook and enjoys cooking for me. we have a rice cooker now which means i'm eating lots of rice and satisfying my carb cravings#i have loud obnoxious alarms set up for med reminders especially now that i take meds twice a day instead of once a day#it's why i have meds set up in little organizers so i can just dump thr daily doses in my hand without trying to remember if i took them#it's why we're gonna remove the doors from the cupboards and cabinets and replace them with the kind you can see through#because out of sight out of mind 100% applies to my life. my cat is also very good at reminding me to feed her and clean her litter box#i might not remember your birthday but i can pick up our conversation from 10 years ago when i last saw you#even if i can't remember your name i will remember what we were chatting about as though it was only five minutes ago

propinquity
wc: 2.2k
pairing: jason todd // gn reader
The first thing you think when you see him for the first time is that he has the cutest smile.
Thatâs a lie, the first thing you think it that he is so incredibly in shape, and it looks great on him, but the smile thing sounds better in your head.
He's moving into the apartment across from yours a month after you moved into yours. Weird, because the two people in your building closest to your age are 2 and 63, respectively.
You suppose that some wicked twist of fate mustâve brought this upon you for missing your cousinâs birthday party last week, because the guy standing across from you is crazy hot. And looking right at you. And you are in the huge neon Wonder Woman t-shirt that your best friend got for your birthday last year.
Yeah. Karma.
âNice shirt,â the guy offers, holding in a grin. âYouâre really making it work.â
âI-â
âSee you around, neighbor.â
And with a shut of a door and an awfully charismatic smirk heâs gone.
The next time you see him is a week later, and this time- luckily, you think- youâre dressed somewhat put together. You run into him while unlocking your door.
"What's got you in a twist?" he asks.
"Um," you start, "I just. Ugh I have so much to do. Like 3 hours of homework, a lecture tomorrow that I cannot skip, and I'm completely out of bread and eggs and can't even you to the store until, like, Thursday at best."
Once you start rambling you can't seem to stop. You slouch against your door. You're not entirely sure why you're telling a stranger all this, but he seems to be listening, so you suppose thatâs a good sign
"I get the feeling," he offers, and you look up at him. "I'm majoring in English Lit and my classes are kind of kicking my ass."
You give him a small smile, "Glad to know someone in this building is struggling as much as I am."
"Jason," he says, and he reaches his hand out to you. "My name."
You shake it and tell him yours.
As you both turn back into your respective apartments you think that he maybe isn't as intimidating as you thought.
~
The next day goes by with a really boring lecture and another 3 hours of work you need to do.
The ride home from uni isn't that long, but it's long enough for you to contemplate all the ways that your life went wrong after moving to Gotham. And, maybe as payback for thinking mean things about the city, rain that you think should belong to a category 3 hurricane starts to whip around your car 10 minutes into your drive.
Your clothes are dripping water in literal puddles by the time you get back to your apartment.
Groaning, you start fishing for your keys in your purse while walking up the last flight of stairs.
When you get to your door you stop. Right in front of it thereâs a grocery bag. Picking it up and looking inside you see a loaf of bread and a small carton of milk.
You pick it up smiling.
âJason?â you ask, knocking on his door.
No response.
You shrug and turn around. Remember to thank him the next time you run into each other; you think.
~
That next time doesnât happen to be that long and thank goodness for you.
âYou know, we really need to stop meeting like this,â he says to you.
Youâre sitting on the floor outside of your door looking rather pathetic, and heâs giving you the most awful smirk youâve ever seen. (Not that it looks bad on him though. You seem to think that nothing could really look that bad on him)
âI swear Iâm usually more put together than this,â you sigh to him. âYou moving here jinxed me!â
âYeah yeah. Youâre locked out, arenât you?â
You give him your best withering Iâm going to kill you stare, but it must not be working because he just laughs even harder at you.
âThis is completely not my fault itâs just I lost my second set of keys like right when I moved in and then today when I got home, I accidentally left them in my car, but my second set of car keys is in my apartment so now I canât get them out, stop laughing at me!â
âGod youâre a mess,â Jason says- finally finished laughing at you and maybe taking a bit of pity on how disheveled you look. âYou couldnât call anyone to get you in?â
You shake your head.
âMy friend is the only other person with a set, but theyâre out of town, and our landlord is being a dick and telling me itâs my fault in the first place, so I need to deal with it. Iâve been sitting out here for like an hour.â
âAll Iâm hearing is that it is your fault and now youâre just moping about it feeling bad about yourself.â
You tilt your head against the door so hard that it makes you wince a bit.
âOk fine,â he says crossing his arms.
âWhat?â
âWait right here.â
He goes into his apartment and comes back out with a skinny metal thing you donât recognize.
You look at him in confusion and he just motions for you to scoot out of the way as he sticks it in your locks and starts to pick it.
You sigh in relief.
âThank you thank you thank you. For everything. I swear I will get my life together, so you donât feel like you have to keep cleaning up my messes.
âI donât mind,â he says with a small smile, âTake your time.â
And with that he opens the door to your apartment and turns back to his.
âBy the way, you should really get better locks. That was way too easy.â
You make a note in your head to get that done sometime. As youâre lying on your couch that night, youâre AirDropped a photo on your phone. Saving it up you see itâs a piece of paper with neat handwriting on it: a phone number and a smiley face, Jasonâs name at the bottom.
You smile too and add the number to your contacts.
~
Over the next few weeks, you and Jason start talking more, both over text and through the various times when you run into each other outside your doors.
Each interaction is better than the next, and you soon start to realize that Jason isnât just some hot guy with no brains. Heâs sweet and charismatic, has a whole wall full of bookshelves, could probably quote any classical novel by heart, has incredibly good taste in music, and best (or worst) of all, would make incredible friend material.
Itâs just that as you become closer friends, you start to realize that that might not be all you want.
Itâs a stupidly cold Friday morning when he texts you, and youâre covered in blankets and wrapped in sweatshirts in your bed. Movie at my place tonight?
You text back your approval and a quick be there at 6 before getting ready for classes.
The day goes by slower than you hoped.
It might be the anticipation of seeing Jason again, or more likely the hours of lectures you have to sit through, but youâre elated when your final class for the day gets let out.
The hours in between are a blur.
A blur which leads to the two of you sitting on his couch watching Romeo and Juliet together, a blanket thrown over your bodies.
You have the obligatory bowl of popcorn resting on your legs, and every few minutes Jason reaches across your lap to take a handful.
The way youâre laying half on top on him is completely deliberate, as to take as much of his body heat as possible. Your landlord had turned off heating 3 weeks prior to âsave moneyâ or some other bullshit.
Jasonâs not complaining though.
Once your popcorn bowl is finished and your head is in his lap, he runs his fingers through your hair absentmindedly. It might be the nicest feeling youâve ever felt.
Throughout the movie you exchange snide comments about the plot back and forth. You start trying to say funny things whenever you can just to hear how sweet his laugh sounds to your ears.
By the end of the movie, youâre only slightly in tears, or so you tell yourself.
âAre you crying right now?â Jason asks incredulously, wearing a teasing smile.
âItâs not my fault,â you half say half moan, âLeonardo DiCaprio just has that effect on me.â
He just laughs and pulls you upright until youâre sitting on his lap.
His eyes are a shade of blue green that youâve never seen before, although you could swear their getting greener by the second.
You watch his gaze drop down to your lips before staring you right in the eyes again.
âCan I kiss you?â
âGod yes,â you tell him, and kiss him right back.
~
The next week is somewhat uneventful, even though you and Jason had been meeting each other almost every night, rotating apartments based on whose house was warmer each particular night.
Tonight is your night, and youâve been waiting the whole day to show him the film you had rented to watch together.
The walk up to your door is easier than usual, and you have a bounce in your step thatâs making you feel even more elated than normal taking out your keys to unlock your apartment.
You open your door and your bag drops. The keys clatter when they hit the hardwood, and the silence that follows is deafening.
âYouâre bleeding on my carpet,â is the first thing that comes out of your mouth.
There Jason is, bleeding quite profusely, and using your kitchen counter to keep himself vertical. Heâs wearing what looks to be a torn half of a domino mask and an extremely hot leather jacket.
(Not that this was the time for noticing his fashion choices, but you filed that thought away for later.)
What really catches your eye though is the huge red bat symbol on his chest, and the red helmet next to it sitting on your counter.
He shifts a little to the side before stumbling through saying, âUm, so, I know this isnât ideal and Iâm really sorry to put you in this situation, but I seriously do not feel like bleeding out tonight and-â
âOh my god this is great,â you cut him off with. âI thought you were a hit-man!â
âWait what.â
âShit no thatâs not what I meant- kind of, hang on we should probably stop you from dying before having this conversation.â
You walk over to him to get a better look at his wounds.
âGod Jace, you look like death warmed over.â
He just stares at you.
âYou have a bunch of stuff in your bathroom, right?â
At least this elicits a reaction. He grimaces in pain but gives you a nod of his head in conformation.
âOk Iâll be right back, donât move.â
He gives you a look that says seriously, where would I go.
3 minutes later youâre back with a needle and thread, and some sterilizing spray.
âThis should be fine,â you tell him, âI took a first aid class last year with my friends and passed with flying colors according to the nurse.â
âJust try to keep them tight and neat. I trust you,â he says, and your heart pounds just a little harder.
You respond with a nervous laugh but take a deep breath and start working.
~
An hour and a half later youâre done.
The combination of pain meds, bandages, and a whole lot of stitches eventually led to you and Jason laying in your bed together, both completely exhausted.
He turns his head to face you.
âCould we maybe go back to the hit-man thing?â
âOh uh. Well I saw a bunch of shirts covered in blood in your laundry in the bathroom, not to mention all the weirdly specific first-aid you had,â you tell him.
âAnd also the assorted guns and knives you have hidden all over. I guess I just assumed? But the whole Red Hood thing is so much better,â you reassure him.
âYou found all my knives?â
You smile up at him.
âI love that thatâs thing you chose to focus on.â
âAnd youâre really not mad that I didnât tell you about the whole vigilante thing before?â he asks.
âJay, I had already resigned myself to life forever with some shady hit-man that also happened to be incredibly good looking. Red Hood is ten times better than that. Iâm not going to run away from you just because youâre incredibly intimidating and probably could kill me. I see that as an added bonus,â you say, with as much charm as you can muster without yawning.
âJust. Be careful, ok? Iâd hate to make this a routine.â
He responds by pulling you closer to his body.
âI promise,â he whispers into your head. âYou really to remember to get better locks by the way, breaking in was still way too easy.â
You let out a small laugh and finally you let yourself give into sleep.

Chapter 11 - Friends
Tags: Friends with Benefits, Angst, Fluff
Summary: You convince Gojo to make up with your best friend and memories from the past come up.Â
A/N:Â A wild ex-boyfriend appears! I am finally introducing the character and getting into some backstory. I got some smutty chapters coming up, which I am excited to share because I do love writing sexy Gojo X comments are always appreciated!Â
- - -Â
( Three Years Ago)
You cleared the plates in front of you as you made your way back to your kitchen. You packed the meal that you had taken the time to meticulously prepare, including the expensive steaks you bought this morning and the vegetables that you hand picked at the farmerâs market. As you opened the fridge to put away the items, you saw the row of vanilla cupcakes placed neatly on a pan, your shaky handwriting spread across each one that read â Five Years â with red hearts decorated on the extras. Suddenly, it all seemed silly how you took the time to prepare a surprise anniversary dinner for your boyfriend. Youâve both been together for so long but you still insisted on making every occasion special.
After you tidied up your dining table, you picked up the wine glass you have been nursing for the last hour and made your way over to your bedroom, where you sat on the chair next to your vanity. You removed the earrings that your boyfriend had bought you for your birthday, your favorite pair because they matched beautifully against your skin, and safely tucked them away in your jewelry box. You were disappointed that you made such a big deal out of tonight, feeling like a sentimental fool as you took a sip of your drink. Haru has been so preoccupied with work lately and the pressure of being in a highly competitive field was getting to him. Of course with the way things have been he wouldnât remember that tonight was your anniversary dinner. You were trying to be mature about it but you couldnât ignore that you were hurt. You glanced at your phone, reading 10:45 on the clock before finally giving up on the hope that he would show up.
You removed the dress you were wearing, a bold shade of orange that accentuated your body in all the right places - a dress that he bought you while you both went on a summer trip to Okinawa a few years ago. You changed into something a little more comfortable, throwing on a tank top and some loose lounge pants instead.
You heard your phone ping, a message popping up on the screen from Gojo.
Gojo : How did the dinner go?
You sighed to yourself, before plopping down onto your mattress. You tapped away at the keyboard, erasing each message a few times as you were unsure whether you wanted to vent or give him a brief explanation.
You : It didnâtâŚI think heâs still at work :(
Gojo : That sucks :\ Well, if you have any leftover cupcakes, I will gladly take them off your hands.
You: Nice try, idiot.
Gojo: I didnât hear you say I couldnât have any :)
When you didnât respond to his message, Gojo followed up with another text that read:
Gojo: You okay?
You: Iâm fine, I was just looking forward to tonight. Iâll get over myself. Tell me about your night, you can keep me preoccupied from my disappointment lol
Gojo merely responded with some eye emojis, a cheeky indication as to what he has been up to this evening.
You: At least one of us got some action...whatâs her name?
Gojo: No idea, I was too distracted by her legs to care. Â
You merely rolled your eyes at his comment.
You: It doesnât take much to get you going, does it?
Gojo: Iâm a simple guy, reallyâŚ
You: âŚ
Gojo: âŚ
You: In WHAT universe?!
Gojo : Pshh, so mean to me all the time :(
You: With reason :)
You smiled when you sent that last text, grateful that Gojo came in at the right time with a distraction. You tried your best not to dwell on the dismal way your evening ended and instead continued to list off the many reasons why the word âsimpleâ and âGojo Satoruâ did not go hand and hand with each other. Your conversation made time fly but that was usually the case whenever you spoke with your friend.
You were so lost in the playfully heated debate you were having, you barely heard the knock coming from your front door.
You abandoned your conversation to see who it was, surprised to find a massive bouquet of flowers greeting you on the other side.
âWhatâŚâ
Haru peaked from behind the flowers, his sweet smile spreading as he looked at you with sad eyes.
âHappy anniversary!â he chirped, but you could hear the anxiousness in his tone. â I know Iâm late, I know I missed dinnerâŚâ
A deep sigh escaped him, as he slightly slumped his shoulders, extending both his hands out to you to pass the bouquet.
âI know this is a meaningless gift in comparison to whatever amazing thing you prepared, I know my efforts donât even come close to yours, you always put so much care into everything you do. By the time I knew I was late, I was running around the city like a mad man hoping that someone, anyone, would be kind enough to open their shop for me so I would at least not come back empty handedâŚâ
âHaru, take a breathâŚâ you replied, hearing how quickly he was blurting out his words, something he usually did when he was nervous.
You took the bouquet from his hands, admiring the selected assortment of your favorite florals, all picked out by your boyfriend. You traced your fingers along each petal, some a little bruised and you could tell that these flowers were from  the leftovers of the day.
Haru approached you, cupping your face in his hands as he leaned down and planted a kiss on your lips.
âIâm so sorry . None of my excuses justify missing dinner tonight. I swear I am going to make it up to youâŚâ
You tried to calm him down, running your fingers through his light brown hair and taking in every word he said as you remained focused on his hazel eyes. Your heart flutters thinking of him galavanting around the city in his disheveled work suit trying to knock on every floristsâ door, a funny anecdote you will surely use against him in the future. Â
âHow do you plan on making it up to me?â You teased, noticing the way his brow raised at your question.
He pulled you closer into him, planting kisses along your neck before he brushed his lips against your ear to say, âIâm taking the weekend off, how does a nice trip to Hakone sound?â
â Mmm, ideal⌠â you replied, clutching the bouquet of flowers as he hugged you, âbut if you keep holding me close, youâre going to ruin this lovely gift you bought meâŚâ
âThen Iâll buy you another, and another, and another ...until Iâve given you enough flowers so that you can plant an entire garden,â he kissed you again, his fingers stroking the back of your neck as he pressed his forehead against yours.
âIâm so sorry, babyâŚâ he repeated, his voice wavering slightly from his second apology.
âItâs okay, work comes first. I know you have been busy and probably should have planned our evening with you instead of surprising you. But youâre here now and that's what matters.â
He nodded his head, finally untangling himself from your arms, relieved that you seemed to have forgiven him.
â I love you so much.â
â I love you too, Haru .â
You gave him a small smile, tilting your head towards the direction of your kitchen, âIt might be too late for dinner but I baked you some cupcakes if youâre up for a little snackâŚâ
Haru removed his blazer, carefully hanging it over his elbow before undoing the first few buttons of his shirt. He held your hand, following your footsteps as you led him into the direction of your kitchen.
â I canât wait to try them. â
( Present)
â You brought me here under false pretences âŚâ Gojo grumbled, holding himself back as you tugged on his jacket.
Itâs been four months since the two of you started hooking up and weeks since he and Rina have even spoken to one another.
After Gojo confessed that she knew about your relationship, you managed to find the time to sit down with your best friend for a heart to heart. The two of you had a ritual which included locking yourselves up in a room with snacks  and drinks until you came to resolve whatever conflict you were dealing with.
âI just donât understand why you kept this from me,â Rina explained, before taking a sip of the mixed cocktail you both made.
â Youâve been so overprotective ever since Haru and I broke upâŚitâs hard for me to talk to you because you start analyzing every little thing I do. Like when I told you I wanted to stop dating for a while, you kept insisting that I was making a mistake because I was running scaredâŚâ
âI also know youâre a hopeless romantic, and a few bad dates werenât fitting this idealised version you have of loveâŚâ Rina pressed, âYou got lucky with Haru, but diving back into the game takes time and workâŚâ
âI know I was lucky. I know itâs not usual for the first guy you meet to be so⌠good ,â you replied, that word tasting bitter in your mouth, âBut you keep pressuring me into something I am not ready forâŚâ
âThatâs not true!â
âRina, you would take me out on âsurpriseâ double dates when the two of us were just supposed to just be hanging out together. Whenever I talk about Haru, you shut down and change the subject immediately. I canât even have a night out together without you herding every single eligible male and asking me my opinionâŚâ
Rina sighed, âit sounds way worse when you say it out loud...â
âItâs like you canât stand that Iâm just⌠a little broken . I let Haru become a part of who I am for five years and losing him feels like I lost a part of me, and I am struggling trying to get that person back. You want me to be okay so badly itâs stopping me from opening up to youâŚâ
Rina inched her way closer as the two of you sat side by side. A sigh escaped her before she spoke, âIâm not good at thisâŚIâm sorry for making you feel that way. I just canât stand seeing you so hurt. I know that he took a piece of your happiness and I am so angry that he did. I hate that he betrayed your trust, but more so that you havenât been able to be yourself without himâŚâ
She squeezed your shoulder before giving you a gentle reminder, âbut he never defined you. Youâre attaching yourself to the love you had for him. And you will find somebody else, somebody better âŚâ
âMaybe but I canât see myself falling in love againâŚat least not anytime soonâŚâ
Rina rested her head on your elbow, âI donât want you to ever think you canât speak to meâŚweâve lasted way longer than all the exes that have walked in and out of our livesâŚâ
You were happy to mend this small fracture, one of the many that has tried to hinder your friendship.
You eventually explained your little arrangement with Gojo, watching Rinaâs reaction closely and trying to pull the truth of what she  exactly  said to him.
âI may have thought you were dating, like seriously dating, and told him he wasnât good enough for you. I am glad to know that you are not. We donât need to trade one man whore for anotherâŚâ
You laughed, âGojo has always made it clear that he has no desire to commit to anyone. Iâm not worried. Besides, we can stop our arrangement anytime we are over it.â
âSooo, when might that be?â
You shrugged your shoulders, âright now, Iâm having fun and I think he is tooâŚâ
Rina hummed, you could tell she was thinking about something but whatever ran through her mind in that moment she chose to keep to herself.
Even though you and Rina smoothed things over, you realised that neither she or Gojo tried to make an effort to speak to one another. He was avoiding her at all costs while she chose to ignore  the subject entirely. You still had no idea what was said that set those two off but you were over this cold game they were playing.
âBetween your inability to handle any confrontation and her stubborn attitude, you two are going to drag this on for way longer than it needs to beâŚâ you lectured.
You paused when you arrived at her store, staring up at Gojo with pleading eyes. âI donât like being the reason why you two arenât speaking⌠please just talk to herâŚâ
Gojo whined, âthrow it on my conscience instead, that way you have no reason to feel guiltyâŚâ
You furrowed your brows before letting go of him, but a thought passed your mind which gave you an idea, âRemember that thing you brought up the other night? Your little roleplaying ideaâŚâ
Gojo arched his brows from underneath his blindfold, surprised that you were even bringing this up. â Yes⌠â
You smirked, stepping closer to him without actually touching him at all. âIf you do this for me then I'll happily return the favorâŚâ
His eyes widened, his heart racing slightly as a wave of excitement rushed through him.
You could see he was contemplating your offer, finally scoffing in defeat. âYou know saying no to you was a lot easier when you werenât bribing me with sexâŚâ he grumbled, as he begrudgingly walked passed you.
âYou did tell me once that you were a man of simple tasteâŚâ
âAnd I vividly remember you disagreeing with me.â
âThank you!â You called out watching him reach the handle of the entrance door.
âJust know I am expecting you to hold up your end of the deal,â he replied before making his way inside.
***
Gojo sat at the counter, the awkward silence hung heavy in the air as Rina waited for him to break the tension. When that didnât happen, she sighed to herself before storming to the backroom of her shop.
Gojo waited for her return, his eyes widening when she finally reappeared with something in her hands.
â Iâm sorry for how I spoke to you,â she said, bowing in his direction and handing him some treats.
âAww, Rina-chan, how did you know kikufuku was my favorite?â Gojo questioned, his tone softening his sweet words as he held the packet between his fingers.
âI heard it through the grapevineâŚâ
Gojo couldnât hide his pleasured grin.
You were always so considerate of everyone, going above and beyond to make them happy and paying close attention to the things they liked the most. You must have already spoken to Rina before he came here, playing the role of matchmaker between friends.
Rina definitely noticed his response.
âThank you,â he replied as he opened up the packet, âI know your anger was coming from a protective place. I donât fault you for it. Besides, you and I can happily agree on one thingâŚâ
âWhatâs that?â
Gojo smirked, âsheâs too good for meâŚâ
Rina swallowed hard, mainly because of how sincere that statement actually sounded.
âI care about herâŚâ
Gojo hummed to himself, taking a bite of the sweet snack. âAnd you think I donât?â
âCan I be honest?â
â Please. â
âI am not questioning your care for her, I am questioning what your intentions are. I wonât apologize for not trusting you.  You promised me after she broke up with Haru that you wouldnât make a move on her but here we are nowâŚâ
âI kept my promise.â
âYou found a loopholeâŚâ
âItâs been three yearsâŚsheâs allowed to move on.â
âYes she isâŚâ
âYou know, I was surprised by how angry you got at her for keeping us a secret, especially since we both know that there are plenty of things youâre hiding from her right now. Then I started thinking that it wasnât the secret that was bothering you, you just donât want her moving on with meâŚâ
Rina averted her gaze, completely surprised by how easily Gojo read her.
âLike I said, I donât trust youâŚâ
He leaned forward to rest his elbows on the counter, âWhat did Haru tell you exactly?â
âWhy are you asking?â
âI just want to know if youâre still adamant on convincing yourself that I am the bad guy or if you would like to know what actually happened between usâŚâ

But mostly I hate the way I donât hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all
Imma be honest I forgot what this last part was supposed to be called aidfjaoisf (also I know I used that gif for another part but câmon tell me you donât love it)
ANYWAY I caved and decided to post THE FINAL PART of 10 Things I Hate About You tonight as an â¨early⨠birthday thing for Matty (compromise ?). Thank you to everyone and anyone who has read it and put up with my perpetual being annoying about this but especially a thank you to @fratboytjâ for pretty much writing the poem in this with me and @pucksnsticksnhockeyboysâ @indyfishâ for their help, too, ily đ
Here we go, yâall. Enjoy the ride!
Read the other parts here:  I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair // I hate the way you drive my car // I hate it when you stare // I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind // I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme // I hate the way youâre always right // I hate the way you lie // I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry // I hate it when youâre not around, and the fact that you didnât call
___________________________
âWhat? No, Iâm not going to-â
âLeave. Now.âÂ
---------
âBecause I love you.â
You take a step back in shock, even Evelina letting out a small gasp before retreating to her bedroom. âYou have no right to say that to me,â you tell him, trying not to let him get to you. âYou canât leave me alone for over a week and then just waltz here and say that to me. You couldnât even pick up the phone when I called you yesterday.âÂ
He looks at you, completely confused. âYou needed space. How is that my fault? You pushed me away at the bar and I came back. You pushed me away in the street and I came back. You pushed me away here and where was I supposed to go? How could I call you when I was afraid you would push me away a third time?âÂ
âI tried to come back to you. I called you yesterday and you ignored me,â you repeat, your voice getting louder, âIf you wanted anything to do with me you would have answered.â
âWhat the fuck am I supposed to do? Drop everything any time you call me? I was on the phone with someone else and I called you as soon as I saw you called me, and you didnât answer me,â the level of his voice matching yours, the flowers he brought you making a mess all over your floor as he angrily waved them around.Â
You shake your head, not wanting to tell him that it was because you had blocked him. âIf it were meant to be, he would have been able to answer when you called,â you tell yourself. âWeâre only meant to be friends, Matthew,â is all you can manage to get out.
âHow long are we going to keep dancing around the fact that you and I are meant for each other?â he asks, trying to fight back the tears that he knew were coming. God, if anyone else could see him right now, they would never think he was some NHL enforcer, whatever the hell the media called him. He was just a guy in love, trying to get the girl to understand her feelings for him.Â
âHow long is it going to take you to understand that I hate so much about you?â you spit out at him, trying to hide the regret you felt as soon as you said it. âIf we were meant to be then making that list wouldnât have been as easy as it was,â you lie.Â
âBecause we both know thatâs not true,â he says, choking back the inevitable sob that was begging to come through as he tries to get closer to you. You werenât sure what to make of this, you had never seen him this worked up over anything like this before, not to the point of tears, at least.Â
âThatâs bullshit and you know it,â you lie, trying to stand your ground, trying not to crumble before him.Â
âHow is it bullshit? Everyone can tell that weâre in love with each other. Everyone but you. There is no one on this planet who knows you better than I know you. There is not one person that is more made for you than I am. There is no one more made for me than you are,â he tries to tell you, not wanting to let yourself hear his words.Â
They stung, no matter how much you didnât want his words to get to you. Part of you knew he was right, and the other part of you didnât want to admit it. âSo, what, because other people believe it, that automatically means itâs true? I could get any guy and he could be better than you are for me.âÂ
âYeah? What names would this other guy call you in bed? Would he know where to touch you? Would he know that right here,â he drops the flowers so he can spin you around, kissing you behind your ear, his lips lingering long enough to pull a moan from your lips, âIs where you melt into me?âÂ
âNo!â you say, pulling his arm from your waist. âYou canât do that to me,â you tell him, tears falling down your face, your voice choked with a sob, âYou canât tell me these things when youâve been hiding so much from me this entire time.â
âI hid one thing from you,â he insists. âYou hide ten things you hated about me. I donât even care about that at this point. It doesnât matter if other people think itâs true or not. What matters is that we know itâs true. I love you.â
âFuck you. Fuck. You. You do not get to tell me that. I canât even look at you right now, Matthew,â you tell him, trying to think of anywhere you could retreat to when you remember youâre supposed to be downstairs waiting for your boss to show up, Evelina locked in her room to avoid any confrontation that might come from her being a third party.Â
âYou donât mean that. You know how you feel about me. Why canât you just say it?â You look at him, the pain he felt showing on his face. You hated that you were doing this to him, but you hated it more that he was doing this to you. You couldnât say it to him. You couldnât lose him because of how you felt about him.Â
âYou donât know what I mean, Matthew. Evelina and I have to get going,â you try to go to her room to get her, praying that your boss wasnât bombarding you with texts on your phone buried in your bag before you had to deal with him.
âThat doesnât even make sense.âÂ
You whip around to him irritated, that hatred of yourself turning into anger towards him that he kept pushing you when you clearly were already on edge. âWhy do I have to make sense? I have not slept. I have barely eaten. I canât even go five seconds without thinking of your stupid face, hearing your dumb laugh, and just wanting you next to me and knowing that all of that is a bad idea. We are friends Matthew. That is it. That is all we can be.â
âIs that what you want? Why do you keep denying everything?â he asks, his hand warped around your arm, just tight enough that it didnât hurt, not hard enough that you could easily escape from him.Â
You look down at the floor, biting your lip. âWhy do you think?âÂ
âCome on,â he says, his other hand on you, pulling you ever so slightly closer to him. The distance between you was the smallest it had been in a week, you wanting nothing more than to take him in for a hug, kiss him, something that would make this go away. But you couldnât do that. You couldnât even answer him. âThis right here is our issue!â he snaps, letting go of you.Â
You stand there, frozen, hearing Evelina come out of her room. âI donât care. You need to leave.âÂ
Matthew stands there, shocked. âWhat? No. Iâm not going to-â
âLeave. Now,â you say, standing firm, grabbing your bags from the floor along with Evelinaâs hand. âWe have to go, our boss is waiting. Take the pile of shit thatâs in Evelinaâs room that yours,â you say, looking to her for a nod telling you it was ok. You drag Evelina to the door, her shocked over your entire conversation. âAnd Matthew?â you ask, a single tear falling from his eye.
âWhat?â
âLeave your key,â you tell him, your voice cracking as you shut the door and leave him there to collect his things.Â
âYou just left him in our apartment to go through my room?â Evelina whines as the two of you run to the stairs in hopes that he wonât be able to find you, catch you and cause a scene out on the street.
âYou nodded and I took that as it was ok. Heâs out of my life and thatâs how I want it for now so I donât care what you think but you need to respect it. No more of this meddling, Evelina. There is no way he would have known to come right before we were leaving unless you told him,â you spit out at her as you sprint down the stairs. You hear her inhale as if she were about to say something, stopping at the landing and turning to her, âIâm not mad. You gave me the chance for a goodbye. A goodbye before we leave for a new city, even though weâre coming back here.â Itâs Thomas all over again, but this time, you were the one leaving him.
Evelina nods, taking your hand and leading you outside where the caravan that had your coworkers and boss was already waiting, your boss leaning on the door of the car. âSorry, I had a slight family emergency that I was trying to deal with. Luckily, though, you planned out plenty of extra time so that we were going to be at the airport about four and a half hours before our flight anyway,â you say, smiling at him, hoping he could hear the sarcasm that was dripping in your voice through the latter half of the sentence.
âEvelina said you couldnât find something,â he mutters, taking your bags from you as you climb in the car, not sure how to respond to the rest of your obviously sarcastic chipperness.
âThat was the emergency,â you lie, âMy mom thought I took something with me back here and wanted to catch me before we leave. Donât worry we found it. Itâs right where it belongs,â you say, closing the door as the three of you join the other two, getting ready to finally leave for a few days.Â
This was good. This is what you needed. Work would keep you busy, especially considering your boss bought what you were telling him, already changing subjects to talk about the conference and what else he thought the four of you should be doing while you werenât presenting. The van was about to pull away, seeing the door of your building swing open, Matthew red in the face holding his coat and the key. You swallow hard, not letting yourself start to cry as you pull away, focusing your attention back to your boss even though what he was saying was mundane and trivial to you at this point.Â
Matthew watches the car leave with you in it, the key he thought he lost in his hand, not realizing you had had it the entire time, never using it. He had no idea if you even wanted it, if you knew you had it. If you did, then that would mean the entire time, you never wanted to use it. This entire time, you really didnât love him, no matter how much he loved you.Â
All he could do was put the key in his pocket and walk away. So he did.Â
You do your best to tune out our boss, getting to the airport in no time and finding yourself sitting on the floor outside of the gate, the four of you on your computers going over the last minute details of the presentation you had tomorrow. No matter how hard you tried, you still had a nagging voice in your ear that you need to tell him, that you shouldnât push him away. All you could do was take a breath and ignore it, talking when you had to, giving your input, and forcing yourself to think of nothing but this presentation and the conference.Â
By the time you land in LA, you were more exhausted than when you left, your boss talking your ear off about heading to the conference that night to scope things out, see potential future directions for projects for your company, talk to other people and make more connections in the states since he thinks you were one of the few groups from Canada present. âY/N? Have you been listening to a word Iâve said?â he asks, either oblivious to your eyes drooping as you struggle to stay awake while Evelina checks everyone in, or not caring in the slightest.Â
âYou want to go to the conference tonight because thereâs the expo and you want free stuff, and other people to talk to about their business venturesâ you mumble, knowing that was what he said pretty much verbatim.Â
He leaves you alone, Evelina coming over and having to drag you to the room the two of you were going to share. âWe have like three hours before he wants us to meet for dinner and head to the convention center. Youâve gotta get some sleep,â she insists, you acting like such a zombie you didnât even realize that you were already standing in front of your hotel room door.Â
You nod, not caring enough at this point to argue with her. You fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow, Evelina probably moving around the room without you even realizing it. You knew you were dreaming, unable to really talk, just watching the scene around you unfold. You had no idea where you were, walking around a backyard, two small children, a boy and a girl, squealing as they chased each other around. There was a house behind you, other people who you couldnât make out laughing and talking. You knew that everything and everyone you saw in your dreams were places and people you had seen before, your mind unable to conjure up life like that when in a dream state. You just couldnât figure out where you knew everything from.Â
You feel two arms snake around your waist, someoneâs chin nestled onto your shoulder, immediately feeling yourself relax into whoever it was even though you couldnât tell.Â
âLook at them,â the familiar voice says. You knew that voice. You knew who it was as he planted a kiss on your neck, feeling his curls graze against your ear once he pulled away, your knees going weak at the feeling you didnât realize you missed. âI canât wait for the next baby Tkachuk to come along,â he whispers. You look down, reaching to touch your swollen stomach, somehow missing that before.Â
You shoot straight up, awake and breathing heavily. âFuck,â you whisper, thankful that Evelina was in the bathroom and unable to see the panic wash over you. Dreaming about pregnancy typically meant that you were about to start something new. One point to your subconscious for that one. âEv?â you call, getting off the bed and going over to her. Do you tell her about the dream?Â
âWhatâs up?â she calls from behind the closed door.
âUh, what time are we leaving for dinner?â you ask.
âI was gonna wake you up in like five minutes to give you half an hour to get ready?â she says, opening the door. âYou ok?âÂ
âYeah, why?â
âYour hand is on your stomach.âÂ
You hadnât realized it was, involuntarily holding it like you had been in the dream. âYeah, just hungry,â you lie as she passes by you, thankful she couldnât see the smile that was growing on your face.Â
--------------
It was the first and only night of the conference that you didnât have to be there if you didnât want to, unbothered by your boss who encouraged you to wander the city and try to find something âmore fun than listening to people talking about what youâre passionate about,â despite him being oblivious to the fact that none of you wanted to be there for the last two days you were supposed to be. You were sitting on the bed, your computer up with your earbuds in trying to find something on Netflix to watch for the night, watching Evelina get ready to go to the game out of the corner of your eye.Â
âI really do want you to come with me,â Evelina says, standing next to your bed with her Lindholm jersey on from Matthew.Â
You donât look up from your computer, knowing that if you saw her in the flaming C you would cave in and go with her, the last thing you wanted to do. âI donât have anything to wear even if I wanted to go,â you tell her, trying to give her a tone that made it sound like you didnât care, no matter how much you did.
âYou know you want to go. Come on. Matthew or not, itâs free tickets to a hockey game. We havenât seen a bunch of grown men in skates beating each other up live and in person in ages because we never have money. And, itâs LA. If you start swearing at him then no one would question it because they hate him, too. And you do have something to wear.â You look up, clearly confused. Evelina goes over to her bag, holding up the red fabric that was supposed to be in Matthewâs apartment. âPlease?â she says, handing it to you.Â
âYouâre not going to stop until I say yes, are you?â you ask her, tracing over the letters of his last name slowly with your thumbs.Â
âYou know me well enough to know that the answer is probably not,â she says. âPlus, I donât know. Since we got here, youâve been different than you have been the last few days. I know heâs been on your mind.â You look at her, unsure how she could have figured that out when you knew you hadnât mentioned him since you got to Los Angeles in the first place. âYou changed your phone background from a picture of us to a picture of you and Matthew. The one when we went to that apple orchard back where your parents live? You were on his shoulders so you could get the apple at the top of the tree?â she says, pulling a smile from you. You tap on your phone screen, bringing up the picture she was talking about. You mentioned that your dad always said the best apple was at the top of the tree, putting you on his shoulders so you could reach them when you were younger. Matthew picked you up and helped you get the apple, Evelina taking the picture of you two right before Matthew nearly dropped you.Â
Caving easily after her pointing that out, you throw the jersey over your head, closing your laptop. âThen weâre going before I change my mind.âÂ
She squeals, grabbing your hand and running out the door, ordering the Uber for it to get there in record time. You get into the car, your heart racing about seeing him again, even if it were from afar. You didnât know what to do if you came to face to face with him, somehow.Â
âI donât like how easy it was for you to convince me,â you say to her as she gets the tickets Matthew had set aside for you.Â
âYouâre just lucky that I packed the jersey instead of leaving it for Matthew,â she boasts, the two of you wandering through the Staples center, two red dots in a sea of black and white. You could feel the eyes of everyone on you, clearly sticking out, not belonging while wandering through the arena while you try to find your seats. You get there as the boys take the ice for the first warm ups, half an hour to puck drop.Â
You feel your heart start to race when you see Matthew take the ice, unsure if he realized you where there or if he even knew where you would be sitting. âAre you ready to admit it yet?â Evelina asks you, noticing that you hadnât taken your eyes off him since he started skating and stretching.Â
You watch him joke around with Johnny and Sean, not seeing Elias find you two in the crowd and waving to you. He gets Matthewâs attention, pointing to your seats. You and Matthew make eye contact, giving him a weak smile, all you could manage to give. He nods, his lips forming a thin line before turning back to his other teammates. âI guess not,â you say, the excitement you felt from seeing him gone.Â
Why were you even there? He didnât want you there anymore, clearly. Evelina sees your shift in mood, trying to change the subject back to the conference, telling you about one of the talks she went to while you were off at a poster session. You try to keep your focus on her, listening to what she was talking about but not hearing anything, stealing looks at Matthew whenever you had the chance, just wishing that you would catch him doing the same.Â
The game starts, you paying no attention to anything besides Evelina, unable to keep your focus on the puck moving across the ice, instead focusing on the curly haired pest that was already wreaking havoc against the Kings. No matter what you did to try to take your attention away from him, you were drawn to him.Â
Elias ends up scoring off an assist from Matthew, Evelina jumping and cheering even though she was drowned out by the deafening boos from the surrounding Kings fans. You watch the boys skate over to the bench, sitting down and taking off their helmets. Matthew makes eye contact with you, both of you freezing for a moment before Gio gets Matthewâs attention. You knew he could feel your eyes on him as your stare lingered, swearing that you caught him glancing over, a smirk on his face even though his captain was talking to him.Â
âIâm going to head to the bathroom before the line gets too long,â you tell Evelina, getting up with two more minutes left in the period.Â
âWait,â Evelina stands up with you, reaching into her jersey and pulling out a folded piece of paper, âRead this.â
âYouâre a woman. You donât have pockets. How did you keep this in there?â you ask her, taking the paper from her clearly confused. âThatâs not important. Just go read it.â She pushes you away, causing you to trip on some already irritated Kings fans as you stumble through the aisle to get out.Â
What even was this? You get up to the concourse, pacing around the currently empty area. You read the first line, immediately knowing that whatever this was is from Matthew:Â
10 things I love about you
I love the way you rant to me as a way to relax yourself
I love the way you dress to your comfort and wonât listen to anyone else
I love the way you play with your pen even though it makes a mess
I love the way you focus on your work no matter how much it makes you stress
I love the way you get along with the guys and can chirp them all the time
I love the way youâre quiet at first, not letting anyone see you shine
I love the way youâre stubborn as hell and how you drive me crazy
I love the way Iâd do anything for you even when you call me lazy
I love the way youâre the one I want to talk to, how my heart races when you call
But mostly, I love the way you say you hate me, even though you donât, not even a little bit, not even at all.Â
You get to the last line, tears clearly falling down your face as you walk around like a zombie, your eyes fixated on the piece of paper in front of you while people start flooding from their seats, the silence around you broken by the noise of the Kings fans.Â
âHey Calgary!â you hear a man yell, for some reason catching your attention. You see an older guy in a Doughty jersey, looking you up and down. âFuck Tkachuk,â he says, walking away.
âDonât you think I would if I could?â you yell back, stopping in your tracks at what you just said out loud. You would if you could. âAh fuck,â you mutter to yourself. You had to find Matthew, and you had to find him now. You couldnât go the rest of the game without telling him.Â
You start running, unsure where you were headed, just hoping that it would eventually lead you to finding someone from the Flames that you recognized that could get you down to Matthew now that it was intermission, forgetting the fight you had back in your apartment before you left for this city.Â
You finally find someone you recognize, begging them to bring you back down with them because of an emergency that you had to tell Matthew about. What if he didnât want to see you? What if he left you standing there, humiliated while you waited for him? You started pacing, trying to figure out what you were going to say to him in the case that you did see him.Â
âY/N?â you hear him, heating rushing to your cheeks at the sight of him. âThey said it was an emergency, whatâs up?â he asks, panic washing over his voice at the thought of something wrong with you.
 You scrunch your face up, feeling bad that you worried him, but not enough not to do it. âI kinda lied? But I,â you close your eyes, letting out a sigh in hopes of releasing the tension that overcame your entire body, âI needed to see you.â
âOk?â
âWhat is this?â you ask him, handing him the paper that Evelina gave you.Â
His eyes scan the page, a smirk on his face letting out a small laugh. âEvelina asked me about all the ways I love you. I guess she typed it up. But I didnât say this last thing. Evelina must have written that herself,â he tells you, pointing to the last line. But mostly, IÂ love the way you say you hate me, even though you donât, not even a little bit, not even at all.
âIs it true?â you ask him.
âYou tell me.âÂ
You stand there in silence, both of you staring at the page that Evelina wrote. âI hate the way you cut your hair,â you start, Matthew raising an eyebrow.
âWe were having such a nice moment, what are you doing?âÂ
âJust, shut up,â you tell him, both of you smiling at each other. âI hate the way you cut your hair: your curls could make any girl melt and yet you do that thing on the side of your head. I hate the way you drive my car: everytime you get behind the wheel Iâm worried about how Iâm going to claim the inevitable damage on my insurance,â you start to rant, Matthew laughing as he traces patterns on your hand with his thumb, sending chills through your body, âI hate the way you tease me, and I hate the way you stare because it makes me weak and act so stupid and it makes me so mad that I canât help it. I hate the way you read my mind, and the way you make me rhyme. And I hate the way youâre always right.âÂ
He canât help but laugh, shaking his head as he takes a step towards you. In his skates, he towers over you, reaching for your hand as he looks down at you, âThatâs only seven things.â âItâs been a month since I started the list. I never got to ten things.âÂ
âWhyâs that?â he smirks, pulling you as close to him as he could.Â
âDo I have to say it?â you whine, a smile on your face anyway.
He nods, his curls moving he did. âYeah. You do,â he teases, you biting your lip and looking at the ground instead of him. His thumb and forefinger find your chin, tilting your head up to look at him, âPlease.âÂ
âBecause I love you.â
âThere it is!â he yells, lifting you off the ground and spinning you around, your cheeks red as you donât even try to hide the joy you felt finally admitting it.Â
âPut me down!â you squeal, his hands on your waist with arms draped on his shoulders. âDo not ruin this,â you warn him, his forehead pressed against yours.Â
âYou really mean it?â he whispers, a bigger smile on his face than you had seen in a long time.Â
âYes. I love you, you idiot,â you giggle, caught off guard as his lips connect with yours, the first time in over a week. You hated to admit how much you missed that. You hated to admit how much you really did love him.
âMatthew! Warm ups!â youâre interrupted by Elias standing down the hall, the guys filing from the locker room to ice behind him.
âI gotta go, but meet us after?â he begs, not wanting to let you go.
âGo win the game for me,â you tell him, moving away from him, the connection between your hands lingering.
âIâve already won,â he says, pulling you in again for another kiss, running down the hall to finish what they started.

Request: OPEN/CLOSED
Summary: Y/N is an astronomer with her head constantly in the stars. But when a serial killer is threatening NASAâs top scientists, she is left in the protective custody of a man whoâs gravitational pull threatens to pull her back down to earth.
A.N Unedited because iâm sleepy. Thereâs a fic I read when I first joined the fandom that inspired some of this chapter. i canât remember the name but if you do, please tell me so I can credit. Comment on this chapter only or message to be on taglist please.
                       Chapter 5: SaturnÂ
There was a rare occurrence that happens sometimes in Space where a Planet will tilt off its axis and disrupt the order of things in the galaxy forever. Even though it hasnât happened yet, it doesn't make it not possible. You had always thought about that phenomenon and how you never quite understood how so many scientists just blindly believed in that possibility with no proof. It wasnât until that dance with Spencer that you believed in it. If you were the galaxy, that dance was the tilt in your axis.Â
Nothing could quite be the same again.Â
It seemed that Spencer himself was the disruptor.Â
Since that day, everything between the two of you was different. It was simpler. It was too easy to have conversations, to laugh at each other's jokes, to spit inane useless facts at each other. But it also became too easy to melt at Spencerâs bright smile, too easy to stare at his hands as he helped you with your math sometimes, too easy to flush whenever he paid you a compliment on your work.Â
Too easy to fall in love with him.Â
You didnât want to think about that but you couldnât help it. At first, you wanted to chalk it up to you not knowing how to differentiate your feelings. Maybe you just thought you were in love with him because he was the first guy to be nice to you since Jonathan but as the days went on you knew that to not be the case. None of this felt like how you were with Jonathan. With Spencer, it just felt easy. Just felt right.Â
It was the weekend so you had off work. Before you would always end up going into work anyway and getting some extra logs in but now you liked staying in and hanging out with Spencer. Right now the two of you were walking in the plaza near your home, fresh cups of coffee in hand. Spencer, at first, did not want to be out but after some convincing (which was just you threatening to leave without him, which he did not like) he was all for joining you out. The two of you stopped in a bookstore and you made a beeline for the astrology section. You hear Spencer scoff when you pick up a book to look through it. You raise an eyebrow at him.Â
âWhat?â You say.Â
âAstrology, really? Arenât you a scientist?âÂ
âYea, an astronomer. I love Space, so while Astrology isnât a proven science. Itâs fun to think the stars have a say in what kinda person you are.��� You shrug. âWhenâs your birthday?âÂ
âOctober 28th.âÂ
âOf course youâre a Scorpio.âÂ
âThat doesnât mean anything to me. Astrology isnât real.âÂ
âYou must be real fun at parties.â You roll your eyes.Â
âWell, whatâs your sign?âÂ
âIâm a Cancer. Did you know that water signs are the most compatible? Especially Scorpios and Cancers.âÂ
Spencer laughs out loud at that. You turn looking him in the eye. âWhatâs funny?â you say.Â
âThat itself doesnât tell you that astrology is bullshit?â He laughs. You narrow your eyes at him. âI mean, us, compatible? Itâs funny.âÂ
You try. You try so very hard not to look hurt by his words, you know Spencerâs a profiler and will see right through it. And he does by the sympathetic look he gives you.Â
âYouâre right, maybe it is bullshit.â You say, putting the book down instantly. âLetâs go home.âÂ
You and Spencer donât talk the whole walk home, in fact you donât talk when you get there. Youâre about to just retreat to your room when you feel a hand circle your wrist.Â
âIâm sorry.â He says.Â
âYou didnât do anything.âÂ
âI hurt your feelings.â He says.Â
âYou didnât hurt my feelings.â You lied. âIâm just with you all the time. Sometimes I just need a minute alone. Is that okay?âÂ
He lets go of your wrist. âOf course, Iâm sorry.âÂ
You nod and retreat to your room, blowing a heavy breath as you fell into your bed. Might as well take a nap. You thought as you let sleep take you over.Â
-----------------------------------------------------
Long, slender fingers found their way into your hair and yanked roughly. You couldnât help the soft whimper that came behind it. You felt the lips that were sucking hard bruising marks into your neck smirk slightly. His other hand trailed your body lightly until they met their final destination at your sex. You gasp loudly when the digit rubbed soft circles around your clit.Â
âAre you going to be good for me?â He asked, you nodded dumbly before moaning out loud when the first digit found its way inside you. Spencer smirked at you. âLook at you. Iâve barely touched you and youâre this wet for me. You want me to fuck you, donât you?â He asked, you nodded and gasped again as he found that spot inside you. âHmm, I donât think you want it enough baby.â  Â
Youâre shaking your head immediately. âNo. Ple-please fuck me.â You stutter. âIâll be good, I swear.âÂ
The smirk he gives you is almost devilish. âAlright, baby. Iâll take care of you.â He says as you feel member pressing up against your sex--
You wake up to the smell of something burning and Spencer shouting expletives from what you assumed was the kitchen. You groaned, frustratedly. Since that day your mom came to visit, you dreamed of Spencer almost constantly. Today was no different. You couldnât escape him in your waking hours and now it seemed you couldnât even escape him sleeping.Â
You hop out of bed and run to the kitchen. The sight before is Spencer frantically waving the billowing smoke that was coming from your oven. You run to open your window and turn the oven fan on. You both look at the pan that had something that couldnât even be described as food anymore by the degree of which it was burned. Spencer looked at you guiltily.Â
âYou seemed upset so I thought Iâd make you dinner but I was reading and I lost track of time. Iâm sorry, Y/N.âÂ
You smile at him. âThank you for thinking of me but I wanted chinese tonight anyway, sound good?â You say, he nods gratefully.Â
Later the two of you are sitting at your kitchen table, eating chinese out of the takeaway containers. You were talking about nothing and everything until the topic came to College. You talked about how freshman year you did the whole partying thing before quickly finding out it wasnât your scene and keeping to yourself for the rest of your college career. Spencer told you he never went to any parties in college.Â
âYou never went to any parties?!â You asked, shocked.
âWell, I was 12. No one was really scrambling to invite me to frat parties.âÂ
âSo you didnât do any traditional college games? No beer pong? No âNever Have I Everâ?â You ask, Spencer shakes his head. Thatâs when you get a fantastic idea. You get up and look in the cabinet above your stove which is where you kept your liquor and pulled out a bottle of Jameson. Spencer sees this and immediately shakes his head.Â
âNo.âÂ
âAww, come on. Letâs play Never Have I Ever.â You smile. âIf youâve done the thing you drink.âÂ
âI donât want to play a remedial drinking game.âÂ
You think for a second. âHow about this? Youâre a profiler, right? And I like to think Iâm a little observant so how about this. Weâll take turns making assumptions about the other if the person is right, the other drinks and if theyâre wrong, you drink.âÂ
âI donât know⌠it probably isnât wise for me to be drinking. Iâm supposed to be watching you.âÂ
âItâs not like we go anywhere thatâs not here anyway.â You say. âPlus, if you're good at your job, youâll hardly have to drink.â You throw a pouty face on for good measure. Spencer rolls his eyes.Â
âFine.â He says standing up and snatching the bottle from you, walking to the living room. You giggle at him before grabbing two glasses to follow him out. âJust so you know, itâs wrong to peer pressure people.â He says.Â
âWell, whatâs a college drinking game without peer pressure.â You laugh.Â
-------------------------------------------------Â
âWhoâs starting?â You say as you watch Spencer pour your glass. The two of you are settled on opposite ends of your small couch, facing each other, your knees just almost touching.Â
âYou can.â Spencer says. âI want to see if you're actually observant.âÂ
âOkay.â You say, sitting up slightly at the challenge. âYouâre an only child.â You say. Spencer raises his eyebrows at you, shocked you actually got something right, but drinks anyway.Â
Spencer looks at you for a second. âYou have an older sibling you are not close to.âÂ
You drank. âYea Iâve got an adoptive older brother. Thereâs nothing wrong, itâs just he was already much older when I was born and we have nothing in common, other than our parents.â You look at Spencer for a second. âI wanna say divorced parents, but only raised by one.âÂ
âYouâre a lot more observant than I thought.â Spencer says as he drinks. âDad left when I was 10.â He says offhandedly.Â
The game goes like this for a while, both of you confirming your beliefs of each other. You find out about Spencerâs mother's illness, Spencer learning you smoke when youâre stressed. Spencer was winning though, not that you had a problem with that as you wanted to drink, hence why you suggested the game. You were giving him a little bit of a run for his money. It was now your turn and the alcohol in your system mustâve turned off your filter because you say.Â
âYouâre a virgin.âÂ
You pause for a second waiting for him to drink when you realize heâs waiting on you to. You widen your eyes in shock but take your drink anyway. âI thought Maeve died before you got to meet her fully.âÂ
Spencer nods. âShe did.â He says, âThe two donât correlate.â He says, like it's obvious.Â
You hadnât been expecting that. âYou just didnât strike as the hit it and quit it type.âÂ
âAnd Iâm not, but sometimes things are just temporary.â He says looking at you, deeply in your eyes. âYou were upset today, in the shop because I said we werenât compatible.â Â
You solemnly take a drink. âWhy?â He asks.Â
âHey, thatâs not a part of the game.â You say.Â
âPlease?â He adds.Â
You sigh. âI donât know⌠I guess, it seemed like the idea of being with me repulsed you. And that was upsetting.âÂ
Spencer looks at you with the most intense look in his eye. You had never seen that look before and you were glad you hadnât because it was so heated that it was melting you where you sat. âThe idea of being with youâŚâ He says, eyes flickering down to your lips and back to your eyes. âDoesnât repulse me. Trust me.âÂ
You knew you werenât the best at social cues sometimes but that seemed like a pretty big one. You move closer to him, so that your faces were close but someone would still have to make that final move. You realize itâs your turn, so you think, Fuck it... Â
âYou want to kiss me right now.â You say, looking Spencer in his eyes. He doesnât say anything, just takes a slow swig from his glass, eyes never leaving yours. He sits his glass down on the table next to him before saying.Â
âYou want me to kiss you.âÂ
You sip your drink, looking him right back in the eyes. You sit your glass down next to his and Spencer's hand catches your wrist on its way back. Before you can even get a good look at him, his lips are crashing on to yours. You groan in surprise before melting into it, your hands immediately going for his hair. His massive hands almost engulf your face as he tries to pull you impossibly close to him. He groans as he licks into your mouth, both of you tasting like the Jameson you had just drunk but there was also something under it that was just pure Spencer. You push him back until you are fully seated in his lap. His hands go immediately to your waist. Feeling risky, you experimentally grind your hips, causing Spencer to groan and grip you tighter. His hands slide up your shirt slightly, you moan at that.Â
âFuck-â Spencer says as you suck bruises down his neck. âFuck, w-weâve gotta stop.âÂ
You pull back. âWhy?â you ask.Â
Spencer swallows, pushing you off his lap. âThereâs this thing called transference. You only want me right now because Iâm protecting you. You donât like me.â He says. âWe donât like each other.âÂ
You realized what Spencer was trying to say. You were both drunk and there, he didnât really want you. It was being stuck together for so long that was making him attracted to you. You were foolish to think a guy would actually want you.Â
âYou donât like me.â You say. âAnd I read this situation wrong again. God, Iâm an idiot!â Â
âI didnât say that, Y/N-âÂ
âNo, youâre right. You only kissed me because Iâm what youâve been stuck with for weeks. You donât like me. I canât blame you no guy ever does.âÂ
âNo, Y/N, I just didnât want to take advan--âÂ
âI need to smoke. Iâm going out.â You say, grabbing. âAlone.âÂ
âY/N, thatâs not safe and you know it. Let me go with you.âÂ
âI think we both need to be away from each other. Iâll only be out front. Please.â You plead to him.Â
  Spencer doesnât say anything so you take that as your cue to go. You pull your pack and lighter out the kitchen draw and stomp out the door. As soon as you get in front of the building, you light the first cigarette as stray tears fall down your face. You were such an idiot to think someone like Spencer would want you. Sure you were both smart but you were arrogant and spiteful. Spencer was the sweetest person ever when you got to know him. It was stupid to think there was a world the two of you would work.Â
You frustratedly put your cigarette out and stand to head back inside to probably embarrass yourself some more when you feel it.Â
The hard slam to the back of your head knocking you out cold.Â

Happy 28th! Iâve read so many awesome fics this month! Make sure to check them all out. As always, all my love to all the authors in this fandom âĽ
âť don't want to fight you | starryharry | enemies to lovers - enemies to friends to lovers - pining - mutual pining - angst - fluff slow burn - no smut - 124k Louis hates that itâs familiar. He hates that sparring Harry is familiar because they train together. He hates that he even has to spar Harry at all, because Harry is good. Louis wonders what his life would be like if him and Harry didnât hate each other. He canât picture it, really. The incessant bickering that often turns into real arguing, the nasty looks, the eye rolls, the middle fingers. It all feels very necessary at this point. Or, the one where two fighters can also be lovers because routines are never permanent.
âť we are ghosts amongst these hills | louisgaynkles | Soulmates - reincarnation - historical - slow burn - angst - fluff - 84k Harry spontaneously buys a house in Yorkshire because the universe, or fate, keeps leading him to it. What he didnât know, is that his new house comes with a past that seems to be mysteriously tied to his own life. Before he knows it he finds himself travelling back in time, stuck in the middle of a century old love story. Featuring Louis as a farmer with a passion for gardening, Zayn as the heir to the local manor, Niall as a pub owner with a secret, and a truly underappreciated Liam. Based on Mariana by Susanna Kearsley
âť through the wheatfields and the coastlines | thepolourryexpress | farms - cowboys - angst - implied/referenced homophobia - implied/referenced gun use - humor - smut - 53k âYouâre not from around here, are ya?â Hot Cowboy asks, tracking his little lamb with his eyes. Louis frowns slightly, having thought he was doing pretty well at not sticking out like a sore thumb. Itâs not like heâs not from around here â itâs not his first summer heâs spent at his grandparents'. But he supposes that the Manhattan city lifestyle that heâs used to is always going to shine through. âIâm visiting family for the summer,â Louis explains, cheeks a little pink. âTrying to get some work done without distractions.â Or, alternatively, the one where Louis needs inspiration, and a certain cowboy and his lamb are the perfect distraction.
âť An Irrationally Strong Bond Between Two People | jishler | dystopia - friends to lovers - angst - first time - 18k Before The Advancement, most human lives and careers were plagued by irrationality and a lack of productivity. This was largely the symptom of what scientists refer to as âinterpersonal passion,â which included two separate (though often conjointly occurring) phenomena: âlove,â and âsex.â âLoveâ was a pre-Advancement word which referred to an irrationally strong bond between two people, which caused its sufferers to prioritise their fellow âlover,â as well as the integrity of the malignant bond itself, over vital things such as workplace productivity. Taken every two weeks in pill form, The Drug immediately removes interpersonal passion from the human psyche. Childrenâs friendships do not have the capacity to develop into full-fledged âloveâ since they are not yet adults. Every person over eighteen takes The Drug gladly, grateful that it allows them to be productive, clear-headed, and rational members of society. A few weeks before Louisâ eighteenth birthday, Harry and Louis fall in love. (Based on the book Louis writes in indiaalphawhiskey's Our Lives, Non-Fiction.)
âť And When It's Time | larryftnoctrl | Soulmates - soulmate-identifying timers - 6k Louis wants a soulmate, Harry loves his free will. They don't exactly go hand in hand. Prompt: AU where you have a countdown on your wrist for when you're going to meet your soulmate and if you miss it the time will reset. Louis/Harry keep having awful luck and always are missing their time until one day they don't. Maybe the other one is scared/has anxiety about meeting their soulmate? Maybe one time they're in a relationship so they intentionally miss their time? Who knows! But they finally meet :D
âť made for lovin' you | cuddlerlouis | a/b/o - enemies to lovers - hate to love - soulmates - hurt/comfort - angst - fluff smut - 53k âIâm in,â is all Louis receives. He blinks a few times, making sure heâs reading this right. âFor real?â he asks, just to be a hundred percent sure. âYes,â pops up. âHow do you wanna pursue?â The alpha adds, like heâs on a special mission or something. âIâm gonna call us a cab to go to mine. Once I know itâs here, Iâll leave and join you there,â Louis explains. âIâll text you to go around five minutes before it arrives, so it doesnât look suspicious, and our friends donât notice us leaving together.â âNoted.â So Louis does, and ten minutes later, heâs sat in the backseat of a cab, next to Harry Styles, the person he hates the most but unfortunately still finds attractive. Theyâre on their way to fuck in Louisâ flat. Splendid. - Or the one where a quick, horny decision ruins Louisâ summer plans, but may also lead to unexpected discoveries. Featuring the road trip of dreams, misunderstandings, and a bit of fate.
âť deFENCEless | solvetheminourdreams | neighbors - enemies to lovers enemies to friends to lovers - gardening - fluff - humor - banter - no smut - 27k "I moved here first," Louis says with finality, crossing his arms over his chest. Harry shoots him an unimpressed look before leaning forward, leaving only a tiny gap between them. "Then get the fence first," he whispers, lips a mere inch or two away from Louis'. When Louis butts heads with his new neighbor who loves to garden a little too much, all he can do to protect his yard (and heart), is keep on building up his fence(s).
âť Canyon Moon | delsicle | a/b/o - werewolf - soulmates - childhood friends - friends to lovers - arranged marriage - mutual pining - hurt/comfort - angst - 41k For as long as Louis has remembered, he has been promised to be mated to Harry, his best friend and the future pack alpha. But Louisâs heart belonged to the forest and to the hunt more than he could ever imagine it belonging to Harry. Then Harryâs father dies in a violent accident, and Louisâs future alpha disappears on the wind. An A/B/O Lion King AU
âť only guilty of loving you | sweetrevenge | a/b/o - strangers to lovers - blind date - soulmates - fluff - angst - mutual pining - smut - 22k After Harry gets set up with his co-worker's alpha friend Louis, he's expecting some pleasant conversation, free dinner, and maybe a new friend. What he doesn't expect, however, is that Louis' arrival in his life begins a life of crime Harry never knew he had in him. A You've Got Mail!AU with a twist.
âť 'Til Everything Changes | lovelarry10 | a/b/o - older characters - brokend bond - loss - falling in love - fluff - implied mpreg - smut - 57k Harryâs nose twitched as he caught a scent on the breeze, one that sent a shudder through his whole body. His eyes closed subconsciously, and he lost himself in the heady scent, the vanilla top notes, and the more woody undertones, making every hair on Harryâs body stand on end. That was how Harry discovered this man was an Alpha. âJaz, Harry, this is my Uncle Louis. Lou, this is my girlfriend Jasmine, and her dad Harry.â "Lovely to meet you,â Louis grinned, leaning in and kissing Jasmineâs cheek quickly, a respectful Alpha gesture. Harry held his breath as Louis stuck out a hand, taking it almost reluctantly, certain the Alpha would pick up on his own scent and the nerves flowing through it. âHi, Harry.â âHi,â Harry said, his voice low and raspy, still affected by Louisâ scent. âNice to meet you.â ~~~~ Harryâs an Omega who has been alone for too long. Louisâ an Alpha who is scared to find love again. Thanks to the meddling of Harryâs teenage daughter and her boyfriend, the two seem destined to meet, and it might just change everything they thought they knew about their lives. Will they find what they didnât realise theyâve always wanted in each other?
âť Mind Over Matter (You Under Me) | youreyesonlarry | ice hockey - hurt/comfort - angst - fluff - major character injury - pining - unrequited love hospitalization - smut - 74k Itâs dark outside when Harry finishes practice for the day. -------- Prompt 21: Harry stopped playing hockey (after 10 years of a professional career) because of a severe injury. The dream he worked so hard for vanished in the blink of an eye. His family insisted that he had to go to physical therapy, even if it only helped his health. Cue to personal assistant Louis, the most efficient and kind PA one could hire
âť Rooms on Fire | softfonds | a/b/o - actors - famous/famous - friends with benefits - secret relationship - 34k Ten years ago, Louis helping Harry through a heat was the start of a romance that ended in heartbreak. Now, Harry's marriage is over thanks to his husband's very public infidelity, and Louis is fresh off a Golden Globe win. The last thing they both expect is to be cast in the same movie.
âť Stumbling Into Your Arms | sunshineandthemoonlight | a/b/o - strangers to lovers - college/university - fluff - 7k Suddenly, Harryâs nose was brushing against Louis' neck, where his scent was overwhelming. Harry jerked his head to the side and took a deep breath of air, trying to clear his nose of Louisâ scent. âDonât get slick, donât get hard, donât get slickâ, he repeated to himself in his head, like a mantra. Louis and Harry are university students heading home for the holidays. Harry quickly becomes enraptured by the attractive alpha standing across from him in the train carriage, who has a heavenly scent and a gentle smile.
âť Little by Little | nonsensedarling | mpreg - non traditional a/b/o - exploring sexuality - exploring secondary gender norms - gender identity strangers to friends to lovers - mutual pining - fluff - slow burn - 65k Harry Styles is an omega who works at the London Planetarium, has lived in the same flat for ages, and is happy enough on his own. When he gets home from his first (horrible) attempt at dating in years, a new pregnant neighbor knocks on his door after smelling his cooking. He and Louis quickly become close, but their friendship gets complicated when Harry begins questioning who he is and what he likes. Or Harry discovers figuring out who you are is more complicated than a potato metaphor.

Pocketful of Posies || Chapter 1
Youâd been hiding for years and years now; from your family, from society, from alphas and packs. Suppressants were dangerous but effective and necessary for an omega who refused to be ownedâbut no suppressants were strong enough to fool the nose of a super soldier, who together with his pack would stop at nothing to bind you to them forever.Â
pairings: dark!Avengers x reader word length: 3.3k chapters: 1/? warnings: A/B/O dynamics, power imbalances, noncon and dubcon sexual situations, loss of autonomy, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat â this is a dark!fic, read at your own risk. Open the read more and CTRL + F, search âcontent warningsâ to skip to detailed trigger warnings at the bottom of the chapter.
Cleaning rich peopleâs vacation homes hadnât been your dream job growing up. You had such high hopes when you were a kid, well into your teens, of becoming a zoologist. It had started off like most kidâs dreamsâin kindergarten you wanted to be a veterinarian. That grew into wanting to become a herpetologist, but then you wondered, why limit yourself? As a zoologist you could be around tons and tons of animals, studying their behaviors and ecological impacts. It was about half way past your fourteenth birthday that you realized none of your dreams mattered.
You woke in the middle of the night to a crippling pain in your stomach, an unbearable heat boiling under your flesh. You mustâve been screaming, because your parents burst in franticallyâonly to stop dead upon stepping past the threshold. At the time you had no idea why, but it had been shock. Omegas were rare nowadays, more and more betas were being born while the number of omegas dropped. It was a point on contention; betas could breed with alphas, rendering the omega almost obsolete but alphas, especially ones with packs, wanted omegas.
Personally, you figured that evolution had decided to take things into itsâ own hands. Everything about omegas spat in the face of adaption; they were small and delicate, hardwired to obey alpha commands even to their own detriment, experienced a full weeksâ worth of being completely and utterly incapable of survival on their ownâ
Well, unless one acquired (through whatever means necessary) methods to prevent it that one. Heats, a homegrown threat guaranteed to commit acts of violence at least twice a year. By the time your first had worn off, your parents had already jumped into action. They had three different packs bidding on you. Your mother had been bubbling with glee, talking about how wonderful it was that she had produced an omega when she herself was a beta. Your very existence was about to rocket them into both fame and fortune. So, you ran away. That same night.
It had been shockingly easy to locate illegal suppressants. They taught all about them in school, how they were horrible and taxing on an omegaâs physiology. Suppressants masked an omegaâs scent, prevented their heats, and (in your opinion) were the best invention of the twenty first century. You couldnât have given a flying fuck about what negative impacts they mightâve had on your bodyâdeath would be a reprieve. Unfortunately youâd yet to have any of the widely touted negative effects (effects that you were pretty sure were made up to keep omegas afraid and compliant) and so you found yourself cleaning rich peopleâs vacation homes just over the Canadian border.
Youâd been living out of your car since you first bought it at sixteen, for five hundred dollars. You gave a creepy beta a blowjob to get your license forged. It was the best investment youâd ever made (not that you had the opportunity to make many) and the clunker was still getting you from point A to point B and thatâs all you needed. You had to move constantly, staying in one place too long meant people started to notice you, especially in the small towns you frequented in Ontario. But there was so much forest surrounding you that every once in a while you could just drop off the face of the earth, camping so deep in the woods no one would stumble across you. It made staying anonymous so much easier.
That was actually the current plan, after you finished cleaning this last massive cabin; to abscond into the woods for a while, until youâve faded from everyoneâs memory. You wonât return to this town for at least a year. Youâll spark recognition when you return, but not enough for anyone to consider you more than an outsider in their close-knit community. The kind woman who lets you work for her cleaning company so sporadically will remember you when you ring her, the only person particularly thrilled to hear youâre back for a few months.
You do an excellent job and you do it fastâ you can thoroughly and perfectly clean a 6 bedroom mansion by yourself in less than 10 hours and you were paid under the table so you didnât require overtime, which Mrs. Hunt loved (there was no tax to be taken from an unreported cash payment though, so it was a fair trade in your opinion). You would work yourself to the bone, 10 hours a day everyday there was work available for at least three months and then dip without any expectations until the next time you returned, when she was gushing over the amazing reviews your work had gotten the last time you were around.
It was symbiotic existenceâyou were paid well for your efforts, more than enough to sustain living out of your car for months at a time, and your performance drove her online reviews into the 4.9 stars range and made it feasible for her to raise her prices. Mrs. Hunt didnât ask any questions either, even when you requested to only work alone and couldnât provide any identification beyond a driverâs license.
You were finishing up the kitchen in what was definitely one of the nicest places youâd ever cleaned when your phone went off in your back pocket. It made your skin prickle. Very few people had your number and you couldnât think of a single reason theyâd ring you instead of texting unless something was wrong. You propped the mop against your shoulder and dug out the phone, frowning at Mrs. Huntâs name on the screen.
âHello?â
âOh sweetie, Iâm so glad I got a hold of you! How are you doing?â
âIâm well, Mrs. Hunt,â you answered, your voice coming out semi-robotically as you strained not to sound panicked while continuing the conversation like a normal fucking person, âIâm just about done here, I was finishing the dry mop in the kitchen when you called and then all I need to do is pack up.â
âOh perfect! I was calling because the owner just rang me, apparently some of his packmates will be arriving a bit earlier than anticipatedâpotentially within the next hour. Something about someone getting caught up at work, Iâll spare you the details. But if youâre almost done then youâll probably be gone by the time they arrive.â
âCertainly Mrs. Hunt,â youâd immediately started frantically dry mopping the moment the words âwithin the next hourâ escaped the womanâs mouth, phone clamped between your ear and shoulder. âIâll be gone in the next few minutes.â
âNow even if you arenât its okay,â the concern in her voice meant that your own had betrayed you, waivered when you responded without your knowledge. âI always warn the owners that if they arrive before the scheduled time that thereâs a possibility the house wonât be done and/or there might be people actively working in the house. You wonât get in any trouble, okay?â
âR-Right, thank you maâam,â you swallowed heavily, finishing the last swipe across the tile in the kitchen and hustling back into the foyer. âI really wonât be but a minute though. I always keep all of my equipment put away and together if Iâm not using it, so I really just need to pack up the mop.â
Which youâd already shoved into the rolling cart you picked up each morning that held all of your cleaning supplies provided by the company.
âDonât forget your bucket too!â Mrs. Hunt sounded smiley again, âIâll leave the key under the mat so you can stow your cart tonight. Have a good one sweeâ.â
âYou too!â You mightâve hung up a touch too soon to be considered polite, shoving the phone back into your pocket and running into the kitchen. There was no time to dwell on manners.Â
The mop bucket was sitting on the counter, already washed and dried and waiting to be put away. Youâd started keeping your things completely put away at all times the same day youâd been accosted by a homeowner who arrived home earlier than expected while you were still trying to pack up. Youâd tried to put your notice in that night, a couple of years ago now, but Mrs. Hunt begged you not toâpromised it would never happen again. This mustâve been her best attempt at preventing it. At least you had already planned to leave town tonight anyway.
You nearly sprinted back to the cart, haphazardly tossing the stupid bucket on top and wheeling it towards the huge front doors. Youâd just stopped to reach around and grab the handle when the knob turned and the left door was pushed open, nearly hitting your cart.
âOh, Iâm so sorry,â he was a beta, curly haired and dark eyed with pale skin, wearing a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. âDid I knock anything over?â
âN-No, sir,â you pulled the cart back a few steps, nearly trembling with the effort it took not to blast right past him, especially when you noticed him carefully scenting the air. "The house is all clean, I was j-just leaving.â
âThank you, for getting everything clean for us. We donât get to come out here as often as we like, Iâm sure the place collected a lot of dust in our absence,â he smiled, looking both parts shy and calculating to your well trained eyeâ and you had no time for such consideration.
âNot too much, h-have a nice night!â You could feel your pulse racing and that was bad. Even the good suppressants, the ones that most of your money went to, had difficulty completely masking the scent of panicking omega.
âDid you use bleach?â The question caught you off guard and you almost jumped when he put a hand on your cart, glancing through the array of chemicals.
âY-Yes, in the bathrooms. I wasnât informed of any sensitivitiesââ
âNothing a little fresh air wonât take care of,â you wanted him to stop looking at you like that, like there was some pale flash of recognition behind his eyes. âWould you go open the windows in the bathrooms upstairs? Iâm afraid my nose is pretty sensitive, several of my packmates are similar.â
You did not like that his nose was especially sensitive and you hated that his packmates were similarly afflicted. It felt like getting punched in the face with a fight or flight instinct, your brain immediately demanded that you leave the cart and run past himâfuck the cart, fuck the job, you could find something else.
âOh, and do you have the key to the front doors? I might as well get them from you now instead of us having to go down to the office tomorrow.â Your hand immediately dove into your pocket, yanking out the single key and dropping it in his palm. âThanksâ and the windows? Sorry, I just canât go up there until itâs aired out.â
He wasnât a huge man but the way he filled the doorway made you second guess trying to run past him, even if he was greying at the temples and looking a little rumpled. It was strange, you wouldnât usually have such an intense reaction to a beta, but something about him was vaguely unsettling. So instead of trying to make a run for it, you turned on your heel and forced yourself to calmly walk up the stairs. There were four massive bedrooms in the cabin, each with its own bathroom and youâd need to go through and open the windows for the three bathrooms that had them. It meant darting into huge bedrooms, dodging expensive furniture and knickknacks and trying not to dirty the freshly mopped and swept hardwood floors in the process.
It took about five minutes but you felt like youâd run a marathon, your heart was pounding and there was sweat at the nape of your neck. All you wanted was out of the stupid fucking house, immediately. You dashed down the stairs and turned the corner, seeing your cart right where you left it. The door was still open too, but the beta was no where to be seen. You immediately darted forward, grabbing the cart tightly and beginning to push it past the thresholdâ
You were stopped in your tracks at the sight of two unnecessarily broad alphas. Both were tall, the white man standing just an inch or so taller, with a full beard and blond hair. The black alpha had facial hair too, a cleanly edged goatee to match a faded cut. Both were incredibly attractive and putting off waves of pheromones, to the point that your head floated for a moment. Your lips clamped shut on a whine, instinct trying to push through and alert the two powerful alphas of your presence. Instead you ducked your head and continued out the door.
âHi there, sweetheart.â Your gaze snapped up, immediately locking with a pair of dark brown eyes. âYou the housekeeper?â
âYes sir,â you answered quietly, stopping short in front of them when neither moved out of your way. âSorry to have been here so late. Have a good evening.â
Both were still smiling, still pointedly not moving.
âMy nameâs Steve, thatâs Sam,â the blondâs nose twitched, just slightly, and you realized he was very discretely scenting the air. âNice to meet you. Do you live in town?â
âN-No, please excuse me,â you nudged the cart forward just an inch but they still didnât budge and panic began coursing through your blood with renewed vigor, âexcuse mââ
âYour scent is⌠confusing,â Steveâs head tilted to the side, âI donât mean to be crass, of course, but I couldnât help but notice.â
âItâs always been this way,â the response was automatic and your brain began shutting down all unnecessary functions; you were about to have to run and hope your omega physiology would make you faster than them.
âYou smell almost like an omega,â he continued, both hands coming to rest on his hips, emphasizing the width of his shoulders. âBut not quite?â
âIâm a beta.â
âAre you sweetheart?â Samâs voice was a rumble, his head tilted to the side while his dark eyes burned holes into your skin.
The tone an alpha used with naughty omegas was deliberate and tightly controlled, the same as a command or a purr or a growl. It was on purpose, an attempt to nicely draw out the correct response. He wanted you to admit you were an omega, to tell them the truth of your own volition. The fact that your hindbrain desperately wanted to comply was a completely different issueâone you didnât have time to address right now.
âPositive,â you breathed, clenching your fists tightly around the handles of the cart for just a second before deciding to leave it behind; youâd never be coming back here, there was no reason to worry about preserving your job.
Your eyes were quick and indefinitely perceptive. Being an omega was one step up from being a prey species, it came with inherent instincts that made you especially good at predicting behaviors. After all, an omega was only as good as their ability to please and soothe packmates. One of the single upsides to being an omega was that you were fast thoughâfast enough to outrun most alphas. And you only needed to go about a hundred and fifty feet, once you were in your car you could certainly get away. So the second you realized the pair was about to shift, moving to face each other more than you, you darted around the cart and dodged to the left.
It wasnât your fault, honestly. There was no way you couldâve known you werenât dealing with normal alphas. The blond was so fast that he almost moved between blinksâone moment he was still, the next heâd wrapped his arms around you and tugged you back into his chest. His arms were like steel, one wrapped around your torso to keep your arms pinned to your sides while the other carefully held your chin. Your hindbrain was screaming now, submit, submit, make alpha happy and you bit down on your tongue to hold in the whimpers, the omega sounds your throat was trying to produce.
âShhh, shh, calm down,â it was half a tone away from being a purr and you continued to squirm while you still couldâan alpha command was coming, you could feel it in your bones.
âLet Steve smell you,â Sam was rumbling instead of talking again, a similar half purr to how Steve had started speaking. "Everythingâs okay, omega.â
You felt a nose nudge down your neck, towards your scent gland and you bared your teeth at the man in front of you. âIâm not an omega!â
âYou smell like omega,â Steveâs breath ghosted over your skin and you fought a shiver. "Sort of. Itâs buried, under⌠beta⌠sour beta?â
âWhat sort of suppressants are you on, sweetie?â You startled as the beta from earlier emerged from the house, wiping his hands on a dish towel absently. "Are you cutting them with anything? Heroin, or coke? Itâs okay, you just need to tell me.â
âTell Bruce sweetheart,â Sam coaxed, automatically moving to roll up the sleeves of your shirt, evidently looking for track marks. "Where do you get them?â
âIâm not on suppressants!â Your voice was almost a shriek at this point, desperately imitating the behavior of an angry beta rather than a terrified omega. âIâm a beta! Get off of me!â
âOkay, okay, here then,â Steveâs arm around your torso tightened, the one on your chin beginning to work its way down towards your jeans. "Thereâs only way one to tell for sure.â
Shock and fear and humiliation; an array of emotions swarmed through your body as his hand popped the button but those were the three you could identify and you immediately started thrashing your legsâhe was going to check if you had an omega ridge and then everything would be over. It was a defining physical characteristic that couldnât be passed off as anything other than what it was: a boney protrusion meant to catch on an alphaâs knot so they could be locked in place. In females it was found in the vagina, prominently featured directly before the g-spot so a knot would cause persisting pleasure. For males it was similarly positioned next to the prostate.
âCalm down, calm down!â Sam crooned, hands coming up to cup your face as while Steveâs slithered down the front of your jeans and into your panties. "Itâs okay sweetheart, no matter what. Whatever Steve finds, youâre okay. Youâre safe. Weâll keep you safe.â
The thrashing was doing nothing but tiring you out, youâd already been intensively cleaning for the past 9 hours without a break and it certainly wasnât dissuading the hand slithering between your folds. You bit down on your tongue harder, until you drew blood to prevent the whimpersâyou couldnât make that stupid sound, youâd never make that stupid, pathetic, whiney noise, you couldnât. Not even when a long, thick finger penetrated and sunk knuckle deep. Not even when the pad of said finger brushed your g-spot before hooking onto the ridge, tugging gently in a way that wouldâve caused blinding pleasure had you not grounded yourself with the pain of biting your tongue.
âThere it is,â Steveâs voice was soft, finger carefully running the length of the ridge. "A nice deep one too.â
âHow long have you been taking suppressants?â Bruce prodded quietly, coming to stand next to Sam. âI need to know what sort of damage weâre looking at.â
When you didnât respond Sam sighed, fingers brushing gently over your chin as he directed you to face him. "Please donât make us use an alpha command, sweetheart. We just wanna take care of you. Tell Bruce how long youâve been on suppressants, please.â
You regarded the handsome alpha for several short moments before spitting a mouthful of blood directly into his face.

Happy Birthday Eren!
A/N: Been very half inactive here đđđ
So itâs our special boyâs birthday today, I might as well make a headcanon like how I did with Mikasa and Falco's birthday (missed Annieâs birthday but like, I celebrated her bday IRL đđđ)
AndâŚ
Actors AU again wew đđđ
(Please donât mind the timeskips)
~~~
Birthday boy's day today, so might as well make something for him đđ
Letâs go!
Mikasa was literally sitting at the nearest chair she could find in the set and of course;
It's her boyfriendâs birthday today and thereâs no fucking way she'll forget about it.
But she canât just let him get away without revenge!
Thatâs right, last time on her and Falco's birthdayâEren pranked them.
At least they got surprises and allâ
But thatâs not the point!
She needs to at least prank him backâworse than what he did. (evil ik đđđ
But he did âindirectlyâ made her cry that time.
So she decided sheâll also prank him back then surprise him.
An idea then popped into her mind and she couldnât help but grin to herself.
âMikasa!â Sasha called, snapping her back to reality from her âannual brainstormingâ.
She shook her head and looked at her, confused.
âDirector is calling you.â She said while munching on a cinnamon bun (usual Sasha)
âRight.â She smiled sheepishly and stood up.
.
.
.
After finishing her scenes and all, she got back to brainstorming.
Oh, itâs also her break time so she could go wherever she wants, but she decided to stay and think for a while more.
Then an idea popped into her mind and she couldnât help but laugh a bit to herself. And that prank was her ignoring Eren đđđ Knowing him, he wouldnât care if other people ignored him. But he'd be worried asf and he could go crazy if she did (your Eren cares about Mikasaâs attention âonlyâ your honor đđđ) And the beautiful cruel woman mode is on. Eren was going to pick her up today for lunch since he also finished his tapings and all (also Armin and Annie's with him) He got out to wait and greet her like he always does. ~~~
EarlierâŚ
Since EreMika and AruAni share a car (lol cuz why not?), knowing that Annie and is the earliest to finish.
Mikasa decided to call her, knowing that sheâs the earliest to finish out of all of them, and Armin's probably busy at that time.
âYo, Annie!â She casually said trying to stifle her laughter (Annie knows whatâs up lol)
âWhat? Youâre gonna ask another favor again?â (told ya)
âCanât I just greet my friend? đĽşâ Annie sighs over the phone and said, âWhat is it?â
Now this is when it gets â¨interestingâ¨
She told Annie all her plans and she decided to go along with it.
âOh, tell Armin as well.â where she just received a hum as a reply.
Mikasa saw a glimpse of Eren at the entrance of the building and immediately went somewhere she canât be seen.
The prank starts now đ¤Ą
She immediately composed herself and put on her poker face.
Eren saw her from afar and smiled at her.
She literally feels sorry for him (đđđ)
~~~
5 mins earlierâŚ
She was now facing the camera and she could tell that once Eren watches this he'll go âberserkâ. (wild Eren đ¤Ąđ¤Ąđ¤Ą)
âEren, if you ever see this, I'm sorry. *awkward laugh* Happy birthday to you my loves. I love you.â (literally said that đđđ)
She passed by him without even saying anythingâsheâs not even smiling! (Mikasa putting years of being a top actress to work here đđđ)
Eren just looked at her confused and caught up to her side.
She wonât look at him and this made Eren a bit sad and more confused.
From what he remembers, they never argued or anything at all.
He's also wondering, âIs she ignoring me?â âIs she in a bad mood?â
Going with the second option, he decided to give her time and space like what he thought she needed.
They got inside the car. (well the car is actually like a van, but let me call it a car ok??? đ¤Ą)
Ok, their sitting arrangement is basically like this;
Eren and Mikasa
Annie and Armin
Ok back to the topicâ
Annie and Armin were looking at themâwell, especially Eren.
âAnnie, water.â She looked at Annie who was literally skeptical about her lasting long or even not laughing.
She gave Mikasa her water bottle receiving a smile of thanks from herâEren looking at his lovely bae (poor Eren đĽş)
Heads up! Everyone knew about it, and yes, when I say everyone, itâs everyone (ok wtf am I even saying?)
So, they were silent for the whole ride and nobodyâs talking.
Annie's asleep on Armin's shoulder while heâs busy on his phone.
Eren was stealing glances at Mikasa while sheâs also on her phone.
Please, his face is like, âPlease notice me already. I love you đĽşđđâ
If youâre wondering where theyâre headed to, theyâre going to a restaurant Annie wanted to try (but sheâs too shy to ask to the point Armin instantly read her mind and sheâs like âH-huh? I said nothingââ) which is also far from their workplace/s.
After a mere hour and a half, they finally arrived at the restaurant, and yay, everyoneâs awake! (Kudos to the 3 henchmen for enduring the urge to sleep the entire ride, especially Mikasa)
Itâs a fine-dining restaurant (rich bitches đ)
So they found a table which is good for all of them (driver and assistant included)
To add salt to the wound, Mikasa decided to sit beside Annie (Armin letting her)
Eren only looked at herânot used to getting ignored this long. Why exactly? Because;
She doesnât ignore him without any reason at all.
If ever they get in an argument, theyâd make up and her ignoring him wonât even last for a mere hour or so because y'know.
She has NEVER ignored him this long.
Eren just shrugged it off, but he doesnât feel good about this.
A waiter finally came to take their orders.
They each had different foods and since Armin was the one to bring them here (Annie's wallet gets saved by bae đĽş), he's the one to pay for all of them which he doesnât mind at all.
Mikasa was quite clingy to Annie as well while she just went with the flow knowing itâs all needed for her prank.
Even though sheâs questioning if itâs really necessary đ
After 10 minutes, their orders are finally here!
And of course, hunger doesnât wait for any kind of bullshit ceremony and all so digging in they go đ˝đ˝
They were a few conversations, Armin initiating them because Eren is too quiet (just a few more hours to endure đĽş) and Mikasa doesnât want to initiate them and cut Eren off because heâs always the one to reply to her topics (it could come off as rude đ
đ
)
And of course, everything was being filmed (yes, their assistant is also a videographer đâ)
So itâs basically 85% silence and eating (pls they just need a speaker and itâs gonna turn into an ASMR) while 15% are their conversations/topics đ¤Ą
Eren is also on his phone while eating (ok I can tell ppl gonna yell at me for this đ¤Ą)
And Mikasa's taking this opportunity to take glances at him and she couldnât help but literally laugh to herself and look at the camera then mouth âsorryâ
Annie's still skeptical and Armin is trying his best not to laugh or something I mean, Eren's still looking gloomy (fact: he doesnât care itâs his birthday at all and just cares about Mikasa and all)
After a few minutes, they finished and have paid so theyâre now on their way back. But the thing is⌠~~~
Sasha cam
âYo, theyâre almost back.â She said after looking at her own phone and seeing Mikasa's message.
They immediately went on double-time mode and so far, the room's looking quite ready đ¤
And since theyâre freer later at night, they decided to do the surprise that time (poor Mikasa gotta endure more of this torture prank she put upon herself đ¤Ą)
And of course, Sashaâs filming this â ~~~
7:36 p.m
Theyâre finally free from the shackles of work!
And yes, theyâre immediately headed for phase 2 of the surprise for our birthday boy.
So, trying not to encounter Eren, Mikasa immediately headed to the place where sheâs going to meet Niccolo to give her the cake (yes, they planned this carefully)
So she finally got the cake and she's on her spot (they all have different spots đ)
Theyâre now all on standby and of course, Mikasa went to Zeke so he could bring Eren to the lovely spot since yeahâ
About 2 minutes passed and theyâre still on standbyâand finally, Eren's here!
Eren didnât even hesitate to open the door and when he did, his eyes widened a bit.
âSurprise!â Everyone greeted him but his eyes were just locked at a Mikasa holding his birthday cake and smiling sheepishly at him.
She handed the cake to Ymir and Eren immediately ran to her âhugging her (he's glad that his suffering is over đĽş)
Mikasa laughed and hugged him back and whispered âHappy birthdayâ to him.
He broke the hug and pulled her in for a swift kiss making Mikasa surprised.
âAre we gonna eat now? Sasha might finish all of this if Niccolo will keep giving her free servings.â Ymir retorted making everyone laugh.
âGeez, I wasnât expecting her to ignore him for a full day.â Historia sighed a bit which made Mikasa laugh lightly.
Eren looked at Mikasa with his brows furrowed a bit and wrapped his arms around her waist.
âDonât do that againââ He was cut off by Annie who was now in charge of holding the cake (Ymir do be passing all her chores đ¤Ą)
âBlow the candles now birthday boy.â She saidâhim complying while arms still around Mikasaâeveryone making noises with party blowers while spraying silly strings everywhere after (bear the bad writing đ)
âAlright! Letâs eat!â Pieck said while giving plates, spoons, and forks to everyone for all of them to finally be able to eat.
Of course, Niccolo is the sponsor for all of their food to eat đ
Eren was now being a clingy baby to Mikasa which is just đĽşâ¨
The atmosphere was filled with laughter and everyone telling funny stories and jokes.
Of course, afterward, they gave him their gifts while he smirked and was like, âMikasa's the best giftââ receiving a smack on the head from herâeveryone laughing saying he deserved it.
~~~
A/N: I, personally think this is poorly written đ¤Ą
Sorry bout that.
But overall, happy birthday Eren! YOUâRE 20 NOW AND STILL ASSLESSâ đ¤Ąđ

Stucky Week: 21st Century
A Fanfic + Pics inside for @stucky-week
Nothing is scarier than posting writing, TBH. It's already in my AO3 where i will probably edit it to death. As I do.
Thank you @moonykat because the anger at all the Bucky!erasing yesterday was the seed for this. And sorry, too because I wish I could do better, haha.
A COUPLE OF KIDS FROM BROOKLYN
Bucky comes back home after a few days out on a mission and finds Steve in the middle of a research of its own.
PG. Established relationship, fluff, lots of books, 1ks
When Bucky opens the door after four days of helping Sam out with some crisis in Portugal, he has to do a double check because he doesnât remember their living room being a library when he left.
There are books, comics, and notebooks everywhere: Floor, table, countertops, over the couch⌠and upon a closer look they are not just random books. They are all books about Captain America. And no sign of Steve⌠This doesnât look promising.
âSteve?â he asks as he takes off his jacket.
âBuck, you are home!â
The voice from the bedroom is clearly happy Bucky is back and, yes, a second later a smiling Steve Rogers comes into view and walks towards him dodging all the books on the floor: crazy hair, un-showered, and very very gullible.
âI missed you,â he says, planting a kiss on his lips and hugging him tightly. God, heâs such a sap but he missed him, too.
âMmm⌠Steve,â he ventures as he untangles himself from the hug. âCare to explainâŚ. this?â
Steves looks behind himself and onto the floor and his expression changes into a frown.
âBuck, what year is it? Are we really in the 21st century?â Bucky panics and instinctively takes his hands to Steveâs head, searching for any indication of a concussion.
âWhatâŚâ
âNo, Bucky, Iâm ok, it was an hypothetical! But hear me out!â he talks with passion and anger, so whatever it is, it is important. This was not the welcome Bucky was expecting.
He walks towards the piles of books and takes a couple of them with him.
âDonât know how it started⌠but I was bored and Iâve been doing a little research.â
Bucky takes one of the books Steve is handing him âMan of Many times: Updating Steve Rogersâ, the title says.
âResearch⌠on yourself.â Bucky has so many puns that he has to bite his tongue. âDidnât know you got so lonely withoutâŚâ
âLeave the masturbation jokes for later, this is important!â
He takes a stall from the kitchen and sits down on it, putting the book on the counter right by another one called âSteve Rogers: The Official Biography. 1982â. They are really everywhere.
âYouâve got not only my whole attention but also the best part of my curiosity.â
âDo you know how many books about me there are? No, donât answer, I will tell you because I know now! There are at least three biographies published every decade, plus comics, cards, books on tactics, about my fucking body changes, official thesis, scientific articles, and everything translated into different languages!â Bucky is impressed. âA little digging on Wikipedia and Amazon⌠and I concluded there are about 594 books. About me. Every fucking aspect of me.â
He stops for a moment to take a breath and Bucky stays there looking at him and experiencing all kinds of emotions. Passionate and almost enraged Steve is an instant turn-on, but heâs also pretty intrigued about where all this is going. He honestly has no clue.
âPlease, please go on before I start with the narcissistic and masturbatory jokes again. I beg you.â
âBuck!â He is full-on outraged now. âThere are almost six hundred books about me⌠some of them apparently âofficialâ, and I havenât been able to find a single one that dares to hint or even question the nature of our relationship.â
Thereâs a two-second silence while the gears inside Buckyâs brain start processing the turn of the conversation. Faulty.
âSo, you are all worked up because the world doesnât have a clue that we do the wild thing between the sheets?â
Bucky knows heâs said the wrong thing when the hurt reaches Steveâs eyes in an instant, and he wants to punch himself for trying to release some tension at the worst moment.
âThat weâve been together since the â30s, you heartless punk. That we are fucking married, Bucky. That you would have married me at 16 if that would have been an option. And this is the 21st century, somebody should have at least made a book chapter or a fucking thesis just maybe raiding the question. I had to go into some obscure corner of the internet to find a single post from 2014 wondering if there was something hidden between us.â He stops and laughs a bit. âI almost wrote back with a thank you message!â
âI understand. I really do, and Iâm sorry about my response just now, I didnât mean to downplay you, just⌠â
Steve briefly touches his face in reassurance as he leans on the counter and starts talking again. Calmer now.
âThere is a Collectorâs Captain America Encyclopedia that just came last year to cover all my⌠career as Cap,â he keeps looking at Bucky straight in the eyes, this is clearly what sparked it all. âIt is 10 fucking volumes long, and I went to the âBâ I couldnât believe the entries for âBattleâ, âBrooklynâ and even âBannerâ were longer than the one for âBarnesâ, and⌠Let me show you something.â
He walks towards the couch, retrieves a book, and comes back to hand him Collectorâs Captain America Encyclopedia: Volume 3.
âPage 159, it has a marker,â Steve says.
He uses the little yellow marker to see the page and suddenly heâs angry and a little sad, too.
Itâs the entry for âBuckyâ and it says: âBucky: see âBarnesââ. And that's it.
The silence is heavy where it was light before, and Steve takes the book out of his hands and comes closer placing his forehand on Buckyâs.
âI cannot let history erase you, Buck. Not as a whole and especially not from my story. None of it makes sense without you, so itâs either nobody or both of us there, pal. And, spoiler alert, but it might be a little too late to take me out of it.â
Steve looks for approval on his face by taking a step back and Bucky nods to whatever it is Steve has on his mind because how could he say no?
âI should have never married an international superhero whose tour de force spans more than seventy years.â Steve laughs. They are back to relaxed now. âNow, out with it Rogers,... I know you have a play-by-play plan for what to do next.â
Steve escapes to the living room and starts piling up books to make room on the couch, not answering Buckyâs question. Bucky can see a mischievous smile even with his back to him.
âWe are writing our own book. Well, you are writing, since the Smithsonian got it right about your excellence in the classroom even if they missed on your birthday.â He says and he is glowing. âI might just bother you with important facts, deadlines, and little drawings.â
Bucky is speechless again. And tired. And he knows he is going to say yes, so why bother arguing?
He decides to just give up instead, and walks towards Steve, pushing him onto the couch and, after removing âSteve Rogersâ Lovers: An Unofficial Biography of Capsâ Love affairsâ from under his elbow and throwing it towards the kitchen, cuddling him.
âI bet you picked the title already.â He says closing his eyes and taking a deep breath full of Steve.
âYes, but Iâm not telling you just yet,â Steve answers as he kisses his forehead. And Bucky doesnât care, he can wait.

597. weepingmilkshakesandwich asked:there's a fic that I can't find where Peeta takes Katniss to the lake and Effie gives Katniss a bikini that becomes transparent in the water, but Katniss has no idea. Could you help me find it?
598. weepingmilkshakesandwich asked:any where k and p go to the hob and sae makes fun of them?
599. eversnarkly asked:Hey! I was wondering if you could help me find this story that focuses on Katniss only dating older guys and eventually dating Peeta's older brother, until she discovers that he's immature and then gets with Peeta, who's her age. I think it was posted on tumblr as a one-shot and also features Rue as her friend. Rue's brother is Thresh, who's older and dated Katniss in the past. Thanks!
FOUND! Closing the (Age) Gap - Savvylark (Thank you, @daydreamsandcaffeine!)
600. alwayseverlark asked:Hello!! As always thanks so much for your work! This is the best blog ever!!I am looking for a AU- modern setting, where Katniss returns to her town and Peeta is going to marry Delly, but Katniss still loves Peeta (Iâm not sure if she never told him or broke with him), they have a conversation in the back door of the bakery (they are sit down on the stairs)Does it ring a bell?
601. myminemind asked:Hi! I was wondering if you'd help me find an everlark fic I think it's in ff . net where katniss and peeta's daughter was attacked when she played in the woods..? I think the daughter's name is Grace but I might mix it up with other fanfic I read.. it's been a long time but I'd love to rediscover it if possible thank you so much for all that you do!! :)
602. crazedfangirlofmanythings asked:Hi, Hi yall! Been a bit but I'm lost. I'm not sure we're i read it, but its where Katniss and Gale go out into the woods. The have to keep away and Peeta is taken in the Capitol. She finds out she's pregnant and has to lie to the world that its Peeta even thought she doesn't love him. Anyone got ideas? It's killing me!
FOUND! Could this be Spectator by FanficAllergy? (Thank you, @rosefyrefyre!)
603. acromioclavicular3 asked:Hi! I think I left an ask of this before but I kinda remember some more details.I was looking for this smutty fic where Katniss and Peeta are having dinner, possibly celebrating an anniversary or a birthday. Katniss gets jealous at a waitress.They go home. Katniss is upset and in their bedroom Peeta asks why. She reveals that it's because Peeta was giving the waitress a smile that was hers, that was only meant for Katniss. As they begin to undress Peeta reaizes Katniss isn't wearing anything underneath the dress the whole time.Peeta proceeds to make it up to Katniss by seductively removing her clothes for her and touching her slowly saying things like "these eyes are yours" as he looks at her, "these hands are yours" as he dips his fingers between her legs....Basically Peeta saying that everything he is is "yours" Â to Katniss.I thank you in advance!
604. stupidsatsuma asked:Hello! The fic Iâm looking for is one that, if I recall correctly, was an angsty story with a happy ending. Â Pretty sure itâs a neighbors style AU, but one where Peeta is slightly older. Katniss always wanted him to be her first, but then he goes off to college and I think she ends up asking another one of their friends (maybe Finnick??) to be her first. I canât remember if she follows through with this other guy or not, but I am sure it was everlark endgame (because of course!) it just was a bit of a trip to get there. Maybe I overlooked it on one of the master lists, or maybe Iâm even getting my fandoms mixed up? (Entirely possible, there are so many to keep track of...) Either way, thanks in advance and have a great day!
605. allflowerscatchthesunlight asked:Hey! Iâm looking for a fic that was on ffnet. Katniss gets pregnant with peetas baby between catching fire and mockingjay. Peeta I think was captured then returned. When the baby is born and after the war when theyâre in district twelve katniss becomes distant and lives alone in her victors house. Peeta ends up taking care of the toddler girl. Katniss slowly rebuilds her relationship with them both. Really sad :(

Welcome Home (part two)
(not my gif)Â
Summary: After not speaking to her brothers for over a year, Peyton Rhodesâ life is turned upside down when her boyfriend of four years cheats on her. She uproots her life with WWE and returns home to Atlanta. She finds herself among great friends and she is finding herself again after being lost for so long.
Pairings: Cody Rhodes x OFC (Sister), Brandi Rhodes x OFC (sister), Dustin Rhodes x OFC (Sister), past Seth Rollins x OFC, future Kenny Omega x OFC (maybe?), MJFx OFC( maybe?)Â
WARNINGS: SO MUCH FLUFFING FLUFF, explicit language, mentioned cheating (ONE EXPLICIT DESCRIPTION), Â
A/N:Â I tried to post this yesterday, but tumblr was not having it. Here is part two. Enjoy<3Â
Seth mentioned that WWE was traveling through Atlanta and wanted to know if he could stop by my place. I had gotten an apartment close to Brandi and Codyâs place not long after leaving. I said sure, but I was going to have someone here with me. I invited Kenny over and told him Seth wanted to talk and that I wanted, no needed, him to be there with me.Â
A knock at my door pulled me from my thoughts. Gathering myself together, I answered the door.
âHey Princess.â Kenny Omega greeted me. I didnât reply, I only embraced him. âYou gonna invite me in?â he chuckled, hugging me tightly. I nodded against his broad chest. We released each other and moved into the apartment.
âHey Ken.â I finally greeted him as the door closed. He smiled lightly. He knew I was still hurting.
âHow are you?â He asked, sitting down on my couch. I shrugged, taking place next to him.
âHonestly, I feel worthless. Ken, I canât explain it. I don't understand how he can still have this affect on me.â I said, no real emotion in my voice.Â
âPeyton Rhodes, you are not worthless.â Kenny rebutted, shocked at my words. âYou are wrestling royalty. You are talented. And honest to God, you have Kenny Omega,â He paused to point to himself, âwrapped around your pretty little finger.â He explained, grabbing my hands. âPey, you are my best friend. You are amazing and I hate to see you think otherwise. I could kick Sethâs ass all the way back to Iowa for making you feel this way.â I laughed, scooting closer to him.Â
âKenny, thank you for coming. I couldn't do this without you.â I said, laying my head on his shoulder. He placed a light kiss to my hair.
We sat in comfortable silence for a while. Suddenly, a knock at the door, broke the silence. âIâll get it.â Kenny said, getting up and walking to the door. Kenny looked through the peak hole on the door. Seeing the person on the other side filled him with rage, but he composed himself. Kenny opened the door. âGood evening, Seth.âÂ
âWhat are you doing here, Omega? This has nothing to do with you.â Seth growled. I had started to make my way to the door, prepared to split up an all-out brawl. I placed a hand on Kennyâs shoulder.
âKen,â I said, he shifted over, so that Seth came into my sight. âSeth, I told you I was going to have someone with me.âÂ
âYeah, but I figured it would be Brandi, hell, maybe even Cody.â I laughed at the mention of my brotherâs name and shook my head.Â
âCody wants to kick your ass.â Was all I said and Kenny interjected, âFor the record, so do I.âÂ
Kenny and I moved over to let Seth into the room because the last thing I needed was for a nosey neighbor hearing what was about to go down. The three of us moved into my dining room and sat at the table. I sat as far away from Seth as possible and Kenny moved his seat so we were shoulder to shoulder.Â
âSo, Seth. Explain yourself.â I offered him the room to talk.Â
âI know what I did was awful and I will never forgive myself. But Pey, please believe me when I say she means nothing to me and I am so, so sorry.â he apologized.Â
âShe doesnât mean anything? Then why are you engaged, Seth? I saw the fucking pictures, with the giant rock on her hand.â I scoffed, wondering why I did this in the first place.Â
âShe found the ring I bought for you, put it on, and took those pictures. We are not engaged.â he tried to defend himself, but something didn't feel right. I knew Mandy.
âThat doesnât change the fact that I walked in on you balls fucking deep in her in OUR locker room. Actions speak a fuck ton louder than words. I got the message. I wasted four fucking years on you. FOUR. I got pushed out of the title scene for you. I was basically demoted to a fucking escort.â I snarled, slamming my hands on the table.
Seth jumped and looked at me with sad eyes. He knew I was right, I almost ruined my career for him. "And I know Mandy. She may sleep with other people's boyfriends, but she wouldn't put on some random ring and announce she's engaged." Tears streamed down my face, and Kenny noticed, wiping them away. Sethâs sad eyes changed to jealous.Â
âSo what, are you guys together, now?â He asked, his voice laced with envy. Kenny whipped his head to face him.Â
âIf we were, which we arenât, it wouldnât be any of your fucking business. Itâs called being a good friend.â Kenny seethed, gripping the edges of his chair. "You have no idea how much you hurt her."Â
I could tell this wasnât going to end well. âThank you for telling me your side of the story. But this doesnât change anything. I think itâs time for you to go.â I sighed, and moved to get up from the table. Seth rushed to my side.Â
âThatâs it? After everything, I only get 10 minutes to say my piece?â Seth questioned, offended. He went to touch me and I shrugged away.Â
I shook my head. I was done. I heard more than I needed. âI spent the last 4 months coming to terms with what happened. And Iâm finally happy. I found myself again, after being lost for so long,â I paused, trying to compose myself. âI learned to love myself again. I fell in love with wrestling again, and Iâm not letting anyone take that away from me.â I explained, moving away from him, giving Kenny the chance to move between us.Â
He pointed to the door, âIâll walk you out.â
Seth accepted defeat and walked with Kenny, muttering a simple, âBye Pey,â as he followed Kenny. Kenny opened the door, gesturing for Seth to walk out of it, but he stopped in the doorway. He turned around to face the other man.Â
âI can see you care for her, hell, you might even love her. Donât fuck it up, Omega.â Seth advised. Kenny crossed his arms and scoffed.Â
âI donât need advice from the guy who cheated on her. I know how fucking amazing she is. Goodbye, Rollins.â Kenny began shutting the door before he was even out of the way. He flipped the lock and walked back to me. Â
âDonât cry anymore over him.â Was all Kenny said, wiping stray tears away from my face, before pulling me into a hug. That was the last night I ever cried over Seth Rollins.Â
We ended up ordering pizza and watching movies that night. Kenny had passed out half way through âThe Greatest Showmanâ mumbling about how he hates musicals. His head was in my lap, and I was running my fingers through those beautiful blonde curls. He had been my rock these last four months. I donât know what Iâd do without him.
At that moment, I realized that I was falling for him and that scared the shit out of me. Kenny made it so easy though. I did my best to push those thoughts down and finish the movie, but they were never far away.Â
The next morning, I woke up, surprisingly in my bed, when I remember passing out on the couch with Kenny. I got out of the bed and padded to the living room. âKen?â I called out, not seeing him on the couch.Â
âKitchen.â He replied instantly. I walked to the kitchen, finding Kenny, brewing coffee. âMorning, Princess.â He said, handing me a cup. I took the cup happily, needing the caffeine. âHow did you sleep?â He asked, sipping his own coffee.Â
âI swore I fell asleep on the couch, with you passed out in my lap.â I teased him, moving back into the living room to sit. Kenny followed close behind.Â
âYeah, sorry about that. But I woke up and you looked uncomfortable, so I moved you.â He explained, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand.Â
I smiled, getting myself comfy on the couch. "So Omega, what are your plans for the day?" I asked before blowing on my hot beverage.Â
Kenny looked at me with a huge grin on his face. Since AEW started, Kenny rarely had a day off to himself. "I'm glad you asked, princess. You have me for the whole day."Â
I squealed, almost spilling my coffee. "Lazy day with take out and movies? Or do you want to get presentable and go out?" I asked him.Â
"Let's get dressed. I want to spend a day out with my best girl." Kenny replied, setting his cup on the table, standing up and extending a hand for me to take.Â
"What about Kayfabe? I'm a heel now, wonât that mess with that baby face image of yours?" Kenny shook his head.Â
"Peyton. Fuck Kayfabe. Let's go out. Please." He smiled sweetly, batting those long eyelashes. And who could resist those grey-blue eyes.Â
I sighed, âFine, we can go out and face the world.â I turned and sauntered back to my room to get dressed. I picked a maroon cami, jeans, and converses. I threw my chocolate brown hair into a messy bun, brushed my teeth, and joined Kenny in the living room again. He had gotten dressed in a pair of jeans and a plain black tee. Fuck, he looked good.Â
He lifted his head at the sound of my footsteps. He raised an eyebrow at my outfit. I shrugged it off. âReady to go, Omega?â I asked, grabbing my leather jacket off the rack by my door. He hopped up, and out the door we went.Â
Kenny insisted that he drive, even though he was not used to Atlanta traffic. âSo I have a surprise.â Kenny started, I hummed in response. âI got tickets to the aquarium. It was going to be a birthday surprise, but since we are here now, they traded days.âÂ
âKen! Are you serious? I havenât been there in forever.â I bubbled, smiling so big, it hurt. âYou are seriously the best friend I could ever ask for.â I had mentioned the aquarium a month ago, when we were talking about things we wanted to do but never really had the time for. I couldnât believe he actually listened.Â
âYou are more than welcome, Pey. I knew it would make you happy. Plus, I donât think Iâve ever been to one.â Kenny confessed, casting a glance my way before his eyes returned to the road. Kenny really was all work and no play.Â
âWell, I am honored to pop that cherry for you, Omega.â I giggle, placing a hand over my heart. I could see Kenny roll his eyes before smiling. The rest of the drive to the aquarium was full of laughs and singing.Â
âIâm sorry, but how do people listen to this?â Kenny groaned as Brantley Gilbert flowed through the speakers.Â
I scoffed, feigning offense. âBrantley Gilbert is a Georgia native, show some respect. If you canât deal with his music then we canât be friends.â I shrugged, turning to face the window, before exploding in laughter. I couldnât help but feel so free with him, and I hoped he felt the same way.Â
Arriving at the Georgia Aquarium, we quickly parked and made our way inside. We started with the tropical diver exhibit. The fish were beautiful, but nothing compared to the adult man standing next to me, looking like a small child.Â
He stepped closer to me, bending down to whisper in my ear. âIt took less than 5 minutes to be noticed.â I cut my eyes to my right, where a few people were taking pictures. I smiled and shook my head.Â
âJust keep smiling and letâs have fun.â I whispered back, reaching a head out to him to follow me through to the next tank. Kennyâs words were floating in the back of my head the whole time âFuck kayfabeâ.Â
The rest of the day went by in a blur. I had never seen Kenny look so care-free. By the time we got back to my apartment that night, the wrestling world was buzzing. Kenny and I had gotten settled and were watching âThe Mandalorianâ when Cody sent me a text with a link.Â
Not sure whatâs going on.
You should see this. *link*
If you need me, let me know.
I clicked the link and it opened to a headline.Â
PEYTON RHODES MOVES ON WITH KENNY OMEGA.Â
From one main eventer to another, Peyton Rhodes has her eyes set on the best in the business. Â Â
Beneath the headline, it showed a picture of us with Kennyâs arm around my waist as we looked at the shark exhibit. I was pointing out sharks, and Kennyâs eyes were trained on me. I showed Kenny and he just laughed. âLet them talk, princess.â He casually threw his arm around my shoulders, pulling me into him and focused back on the show. I placed my phone on the cushion beside me, curled up closer to him, and shut out the world.Â

Part 11 (FIN)
Jay hangs out at Molly's after a good day at work. The bar is packed with familiar faces from Firehouse 51 and The Med. He sits down at a table with Hailey and Adam, talking about dull things, enjoying his drink.
"Jay, did you ever find out who sent you that box of chocolate on your birthday last month?" Hailey curiously asks him.
"Oh, you mean the one that you and Kim confiscated?" Jay teases her.
"Yeah, yeah, you wouldn't even open it if we didn't force you," Hailey rolls her eyes. "So, did you know who gave it to you?"
Jay's lips twitch with a barely-there smile, "Yeah, I did,"
"Who was it?" Adam asks nosily.
"A friend," Jay replies vaguely.
"You have friends other than us?" Hailey mocks him. "I'm shocked!"
"Hey, I'll have you know, I am a social butterfly. I got friends in many places," Jay points his finger at his coworkers who are busy laughing at him.
Adam sobers up from the laugh first and sees Kelly Severide approaching their table, "Hey, man!"
Kelly grins at Adam and Hailey, "Hey, guys!" before beckons to Jay, "Can I talk to you for a moment?"
Jay is confused but follows Kelly anyway to a quieter corner of the bar. He waits until Kelly starts to speak. "I'm not sure if you know this, but Y/N will be in town next week," Jay stiffens as he hears his ex's name, but Kelly continues as if he didn't see it. "I know that she made a big mistake, and you probably still hate her," Kelly opens his hands in a placating manner, ".. but I'm not trying to play sides here. It's just.. she asked me to give you this," Kelly pulls an envelope from his jacket pocket. "It's two tickets for their show at Soldier Field next week, including the backstage passes. You can do whatever you want with them, man. If you want to use them, she'll be thrilled. If you want to burn them, she'll understand," He hands the envelope to Jay, who hesitantly takes it. "She's scheduled to arrive on Friday night and supposedly stays at The Langham for the weekend. But she hinted that she will try to crash at my place," Kelly informs him further.
"Why are you telling me this? What do you expect me to do?" bemuses Jay.
"I'm not telling you to do anything. I understand that you have a hard time these past months. But I also know it was not easy for Y/N as well. This might be a chance for you to clear any niggling questions you have." Kelly pats Jay's shoulder before walks out of Molly's.
Jay slowly steps back to their table. Hailey immediately grills him, "What was that about?"
Jay shakes his head to answer his friend, "It's nothing important." He puts the envelope in his back pocket, trying to forget the conversation.
â˘â¤
The days sneak up on Jay. Without him knowing, it's already Saturday evening. He sits on a couch at home, staring at the envelope on the table, thinking about what he should do. He knows what he wants to do, but he is not sure if it's the right thing to do. Jay bounces his foot restlessly before he decides to call Will.
"Hey, what are you doing tonight?" Jay asks Will straight away once the call is connected.
Unbothered by Jay's rude manner, Will replies shortly, "Watching Netflix. Why?"
"I need you to go someplace with me," demands Jay.
"I'm on stand by. I cannot go too long or too far away from Med." Will explains.
"I'll drive you with sirens on if they call you. Please, Will?"
Will is never immune to his brother's pleadings, so naturally, he agrees. "Okay, then. When are you going to pick me up?"
"I'm leaving my place now. You go get ready," Jay grabs his keys and walks out to his car.
â˘â¤
Once Will sits comfortably in Jay's car, he begins to ask, "So, where are we going?"
"Soldier Field." he hears Jay's clipped reply. Will starts to put the pieces together when he remembers that alex&y/n playing there tonight. He tries to reconfirm his guess, "Isn't that where..."
"Yep," Jay curtly nods without leaving his gaze from the road.
Will raises his eyebrows, "So you're going to see her?"
"I don't know," Jay shrugs his reply.
Will confronts him further, "Is that why you brought me? To help you decide?"
"No, I asked you to come because I know you're a fan of Y/N and her music," Jay patiently explains his reason.
Will never admits that fact before, but his brother seems to catch it anyway. Jay always tenses up whenever someone mentions his ex's name. Thus Will thought it's wiser to leave him be. But this time, it's Jay who chose to bring it out.
"But I told you before, I won't go to see the show," Will tries to remind Jay. He wants Jay to understand that he is here for his brother.
Instead, Jay tells him, "I know. That's why I brought you."
Will sighs loudly, "You're so confusing."
Stopping at an intersection, Jay grins widely at Will, "Just enjoy it, man."
â˘â¤
The first time Jay opens the envelope is in front of an usher who stands by the entrance gate. He shows the tickets to him and lets the usher guides them to the Guest Check-In area.
"Where did you get those tickets? Did Y/N give you that?" Will asks Jay as they stand in front of the check-in booth. Jay simply ignores Will's interrogations.
"Hello, good evening. May I see your tickets and ID, please?" greets the young man behind the booth. Jay silently gives the tickets and his driving license to the man. He checks them for a moment then input something on a laptop in front of him. Soon he returns Jay's ID back along with two gold wristbands. "Here's your wristband. Please tighten it on your hand, so you don't lose it," He pulls out a colorful map and circles several spots as he details further, "You can access the Guest Area here, on the east side of VIP seats. To access the backstage, you need to go to the north side area and ask the officials there for the backstage entrance. Is there anything else I can do for you, Sir?"
"No, thank you." Jay folds the map and puts it in his back pocket.
The man smiles politely and bids them goodbye, "Have a good time, Mr. Halstead."
The sky looks clear, tints in beautiful orange as the sun just set. They quickly find the Guest Area and the VIP seats. The seats are on an elevated section, which definitely gets a better view of the stage. The stage is dark now, but Jay can see it's bustling with some preparation. The Guest Area looks inviting. It has a private bar and a few food stalls. "This is very nice," remarks Will as he takes in his surrounding. He almost sounds impressed until he remembers from whom Jay got the tickets. "Nope. I ain't falling for this stunt! Does she think these extravagant things could lead her back to you?" Will shakes his head and declares passionately. He sulks on his way to find a spot with the perfect view of the stage.
Smirking at Will's antic, Jay pacifies his brother, "I think she just wants us to have a good time,"
Before Will can respond, the stage suddenly lit up. Laser and neon lights shine blindingly. In front of the stage, the crowd starts to clap and yell excitedly. As the intro begins to play, Jay looks down at the sea of people below him, shouting Alex's and your name.
"What's up, Chicagooooooo!" Alex cheers as he shows up on the stage, then soon followed by you. The crowd goes even wilder. You and Alex open with the first song, jumping lightly to the beat. Between a gap to the second song, Alex greets the crowd. "Chicago! It's so good to be here tonight" He leaves the beat playing in the background. "It is even better to have my best friend here with me. Would you please make some noise for Y/N!" The crowd hoots loudly. You answer them with a grin and a quick wave. "I hope you're also having the best time with your friends. Or maybe even make new friends. So now, let's party!!" Alex puts the microphone down and begins to play the next song. You and Alex play together for about 30 minutes before Alex leaves the stage. You keep the crowds going with your songs and remixes.
"Is it just me, or she doesn't look like she's enjoying it?" Will yells at Jay's ear. The music is so loud, it's practically impossible to speak over the thumping beats and sing-along crowd. Jay also notices the same thing Will said. It was really subtle. The crowd probably won't see it. But since Jay solely pays his attention to you, he can see that you're looking a bit tired. After another 30 minutes passed, Alex comes back on stage as you go off.
Alex plays solo for about 45 minutes before you come back to the stage. They play together again for a few songs until Alex grabs the microphone, "This is our last ten minutes... We are alex&y/n. We hope you enjoyed our music tonight... You guys are fucking amazing! We love you!" The crowds shout back in response.
When they reach the outro, Alex helps you get up on the table before getting himself up. Both of you bow and send air kisses goodbye to the crowds. The confetti bursts on the stage as fireworks explode beautifully to the sky. Soon as the last note goes, Alex jumps down from the table and helps you down. The stage then goes completely dark again. The crowds start to break. Some move away slowly from the stage. Others decide to sit in front of the stage and wait for the next act.
Will nudges Jay and asks, "You're gonna use that backstage pass?"
"No. Let's just go home," Jay sounds certain, but his eyes don't leave the dark stage, as if he still can see you there.
"They are actually amazing," Will comments about the show as Jay drives him back to his place. "I mean, I know they sound good. But the show was apparently better. Thank you for taking me tonight, bro."
"You know you can talk to her, right? You don't have to avoid her for me," Jay tells his brother.
Will clasps his hand on Jay's shoulder. "I know. But you're my brother. She hurts you. I'm not ready to forgive her yet."
â˘â¤
After you get off the stage, it doesn't take long for the entourage to leave the venue. Alex is whining that he's hungry. The time just passed 11 PM, so you take them to one of your favorite late-night eateries in Chicago. You also pick this place because it's only three blocks from Kelly's home. Thus, once everyone is done eating, they drop you off at Kelly's before they go back to the hotel.
Kelly knows that you're coming, so he's not surprised when he hears knocks on his door at 1 AM. But you are the one who is surprised when you see some folks from Firehouse 51 there. You hang out with them, talking and laughing until almost dawn. Some of them decide to go home. Others prefer to catch a wink before leaving. The sleeping arrangement becomes a challenge when there are more people than available beds. You finally get to shut your eyes on Kelly's couch just as the sun rises.
The persistent knocks on the door wake you up from your slumber. Half asleep, you come to the door, expecting Sylvie or Joe coming with brunch since they chose to go home last night.
When the door is opened, you blink a few times, not trusting your eyes. Is that really.. "Jay?" you whisper cautiously, wondering if you're still dreaming.
"Hi, Y/N," Jay lets out a nervous smile. You stare at each other for a while, uncertain of what to say. Before Jay gestures to the door, "May I come in?"
"Uhm, yeah, sure. Please. Come in," You stammer as you open the door wider to let Jay in. When you remember that you're still in your sleepwear of a tank top and cotton shorts, you insecurely put on a sweatshirt from your duffel near the couch.
You see Jay looking around the living room. It isn't messy, but it isn't exactly pristine either. They did bare minimum clean-up before went to bed, but you still can see remnants of the get-together. "Did you sleep there?" Jay refers to the unmade couch.
You let out a small giggle as you walk to the kitchen to make coffees, "Drew a short stick on the sleeping arrangement,"
Jay laughs at you, "Why did you sleep on a couch when you have a heavenly bed at the Langham?"
You're a bit surprised that Jay knew where you should've stayed, "Huh, guess Kelly told you that?" The question feels a bit rhetorical, so you don't expect Jay to give any response. "Would you like a cup?" You offer Jay, gesturing to the brewing coffee when he follows you to the kitchen.
"Please," Jay nods then sits on the chair by the counter. Both of you stay silent as you prepare the coffee. You wonder why Jay is here, but you are afraid to ask. When the coffee's brewed, you fix Jay's cup first and hand it to him before filling yours. "Thanks," Jay says as he accepts the cup. You stay on the other side of the counter as you sip into your cup. You feel like saying something, but you don't know what. Should you ask what's Jay doing here? Would Jay accept if you apologize to him again?
After a few awkward seconds, Jay speaks first. "Your show last night was great. Even got Will to jump and dance,"
That actually surprises you, "You came?"
"Of course we did. Will is a fan of yours." He says like it's a fact. Like it's the only reason he came.
You scoff your disagreement, "Right, I doubt that Will is a fan of me,"
"Will likes your music." Jay differs.
"Now that is something I can believe. But I'm pretty sure Will still hates me," you chuckle despairingly.
Jay takes his time to counter your claim, "Will doesn't hate you. He just... felt like he should. Because of me."
"What about you?" you hesitantly ask. "I understand if you're still mad at me. I just wish I can do something to fix it.."
When Jay gives no answer, you kick yourself in your head, thinking you've really screwed this up.
"When are you leaving?" Jay asks instead after a minute pause. You can hear the imply "again" at the end of the question.
Softly sigh to your coffee cup, you reply, "Monday morning." You see Jay nodding as a sign that he hears you, but he doesn't say anything. "I... might come back here in about three months?" It was intended as information, but your apprehensive voice made it sound like you're asking for his permission instead of letting him know.
Jay tilts his head, looking a bit curious, "For work?"
You take a deep breath before saying, "For you." Your gaze doesn't waver from his face. "If you can somehow forgive me and give me a second chance?" Jay locks eyes on you. His lips stay closed, but his eyes demand more explanation.
"I... realized that what I feel about you is a real deal. These past 8 months, I've been running away, trying to distract myself from my regret. I went back to Amsterdam, thinking I was gonna go home, but instead, it felt like I was walking away from home..."
"But you got your family, friends there. Your job is there. That's the reason you gave me when you left." Jay points out. He doesn't raise his voice, but you hear his upset loudly.
"Yes, they are. But I was too blind to see that I got similar things here as well. That I also have family and friends here.. Amsterdam doesn't feel the same anymore, with the fact that I left my heart here..."
Jay looks doubtful over your words. "I don't understand why you want to do that. How about your work? You're just growing a new career, and I know it's doing very well,"
"No, I don't think I can do it any longer. I hate being on stage. I got these next three months to finish alex&y/n gigs, then I stop touring. Go back to writing and producing behind the stage, which I still love to do. I could do that from anywhere. Might need to travel once in a while, but I believe I can base here."
Jay stays quiet for a moment. You feel your heart beating fast, waiting for his next words, which turn out to be another question. "If I say no, are you not gonna come and stay?"
Your face was crestfallen, your throat felt dry. Thoughts ran around in the back of your mind. If you stay here, you'd be closer to Jay. But if he doesn't want to forgive you, would staying still be better than being far away from him? "I... probably still come back and stay in Chicago." you finally answer him.
A ringing phone interrupts the heartfelt conversation before Jay gives you any response. He picks up his phone without stepping away from you. "Yeah? Okay. Give me 15 minutes." He says to whomever on the phone. Once the call ends, Jay stands up from his seat, "I gotta go."
"Work?" You pry.
"No. It's Hailey. She asks me to go with her for lunch," Jay explains.
"Oh.." Now you really look pathetic. Jealous for someone dear to Jay? Yeah, you certainly are a mess now.
You follow Jay, who already moves to the front door. As he opens the door to let himself out, Jay pauses to look at you. "It's good to see you, Y/N." He sounds so sincere.
You smile softly at him, "Yeah, Jay. It's good to see you too."
â˘â¤
"So you went to see her? Why?" Hailey exclaims. She cannot comprehend the reason Jay still wanted to meet his ex.
Jay shrugs. "I just... I don't know. I thought if I talked to her, then I would be able to let go and move on."
"And? Could you now?" Hailey confronts him.
"No. It made me miss her more." Jay admits.
Hailey scorns her friend's confession. "You're not even trying to move on, Jay."
"Maybe. I don't know if I want to though," Jay looks out to the street through the cafe's window.
"She's going to leave again. Break your heart again. Is that what you want?" Hailey tries to make Jay sees the real possibility here.
Jay doesn't give her any response. Without Hailey's reminder, he already thought and feared about the same things.
â˘â¤
"I have to state that this is an absolute misconduct." Hailey declares furiously from the passenger seat. "And I'm still thinking that you're making a wrong choice here."
It's Monday morning. Hailey should've been suspicious when Jay handed her a cup of coffee and a bag of pastry from her favorite bakery. Now they are gunning down to the charter terminal at Chicago Midway as if they're chasing a perp who tries to escape the country. Jay glances at Hailey and smirks, "Your complaint has been received and noted."
Jay turns his focus back on the road. He has been informed where the plane is gonna be. When he finds it, Jay sees you and your team walk to a G5 that's being prepared for their flight.
Jay brakes his car harshly. The loud screeching sound makes you pause and look at the source of the noise. Jay jumps out of the car and approaches you. He sees the surprised look on your face when you realize that he's here. You slowly walk towards Jay, gaping at him but utter no words.
"There months, you say?" Jay asks you with a heavy breath.
You answer wordlessly with a nod, not getting where Jay's going with this.
"I could wait for three months. Or more. As long as you come back to me." Jay tells you seriously.
"Yeah?" You stutter, eyes wide in surprise. "You sure?"
"Never been surer about anything else in my life," Jay states confidently. He sees your face beams, then it turns into a wide grin. Before he knows it, he has you in his arms, squealing happily.

Ok so I've just been loving Our Life: Beginnings & Always so much I had to write a fic of my own! I ended up using my own characters name because I was playing the game while writing and not gonna lie, I like hearing Cove say my name âşď¸
------------------------------
You were pacing around your room one peaceful day. You wouldn't be surprised if Elizabeth burst into your room because she was tired of listening you wear a hole into your floor. Even if she did it probably wouldn't have stopped you since you were having the biggest problem you've ever had in the fifteen years you've been alive.
Cove's birthday was coming up and you couldn't think of a good present for him!
Cove has been your best friend (and crush) since you both were kids! You knew everything he liked and were proud of the presents you've given him each year.
You remember how happy he was for the drawing of a dolphin you drew for him when you were 10 and the box you made with seashells, a glue gun and an old jewelry box you found at the local antique store for his 13th birthday.
"I thought I heard the pacing of a stressed out teenager."
You jumped in surprise and turned to see Ma leaning against your doorframe with a small smile on her face. She knew you well enough to know she didn't need to ask what's wrong, you'd tell her at your own pace and she stepped into your room to sit down in your chair. You sighed and took a seat at the edge of your bed across from her.
"I don't know what to get for Cove. I've been to every store and thought of everything I can make and nothing seems good enough." You sighed again and ran a hand through your hair. You know Cove would like anything you give him but that wasn't going to stop you from making it special.
"Are you sure you thought of everything? I can think of something that could be special. Though of course he wouldn't be able to keep what I'm thinking."
You looked at Ma confused while she chuckled and stood up to take your hand.
"Come on, we have some shopping to do."
------------------------------
Your heart was pounding in your chest as you knocked on the door to Cove's house. When Mr Holden opened the door you gave him a shy smile as he grinned at you.
"Well look who it is. Cove, Alex is here to see you!" Mr Holden called out to him who you guessed was in the living room since he was pushing past his dad after only a few seconds. Mr Holden didn't seem to mind as he left you and Cove alone.
"Hey Alex!" Cove was grinning brightly which made the butterflies in your stomach flutter harder and you felt your mouth suddenly felt dry.
"H-Hey, I was wondering if you were free tonight. I uh... Wanted to invite you over for dinner tonight..." You could feel your face heat up and looked down at your shoes. You could hear Cove let out a choked noise. You didn't have to look up to know that he was probably blushing and holding his arm while he fidgeted.
"I uh, yeah sure. I have to ask dad but I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
You looked up to smile at him and you could still see the faint hint of a blush as he smiled back. You couldn't help excitedly hop in place when he turned his back on you to talk to his dad but you were able to calm down before he could see your excitement when he returned to tell you that he could come.
------------------------------
"You're doing great. Now, top the rice with the tuna." Ma instructed as you filled two bowls with rice. Ma had mostly stayed out of your way as you made your first meal (she did insist on cutting up the tuna into chunks for you but you didn't mind since she let you cook the rice without help). You were just topping the meal with the spicy mayo when you heard Mom's voice as she answered the door.
"Good evening Cove! Come on in."
"Evening, should I have dressed nicer? I can go back and change."
You couldn't help but chuckle at the conversation you were overhearing. He was probably looking surprised at your mom's dress. You looked over at Ma and couldn't help but admire her simple black dress. You secretly hoped you would look as good as her when you wore fancy clothes.
"Don't worry Cove, Lani and I decided to go out on a little date while you and Alex enjoy your dinner since Elizabeth is staying at a friend's house."
You could imagine Cove was probably looking at your mom confused. You didn't tell him it would be just you and him since you didn't know either. Ma just decided not too long after you started dinner that they should "give you two some alone time."
You could hear footsteps approaching and turned to see Cove and Mom walk in. You couldn't help but blush when you remembered you were wearing Mom's apron as you carried the two bowls to the table. You quickly removed the apron and returned it to the hook it usually hangs on while Ma pat your head and kissed your cheek.
"Don't forget dessert is cooling on the counter." She whispered to you before kissing your cheek. She smiled at Cove before joining Mom in grabbing their coats as they head to the door.
"Enjoy dinner you two, remember not to stay up all night!" Mom reminded you both before closing the door behind her. Cove looked over at you with a shy smile as sat down at the table. You sat down across from him and fiddled with your chopsticks, trying to think of something to say.
"So uh, your moms made poke? Cool." He said, trying to lighten the awkward air between you both.
"Actually, I made it myself," you said shyly. You could see Cove's eyes widen behind his glasses as he looked between you and the food in front of him.
"Wait, really? You made this?" He looked at his poke bowl like it was a special treasure. You could practically hear your own heartbeat as he carefully picked up his chopsticks and took his first bite. You bit the inside of your cheek when you saw his eyes widen and you were afraid you messed something up until he looked up at you, his smiling face almost glowing.
"This is so good!" He said happily which brought a smile to your face as you began to dig into your own bowl. The two of you talked about your classes and some movies you both want to see. Once you two were done you stood up and collected the dishes. You gestured for Cove to stay sitting when you noticed him moving to get up and help you.
"There's one more thing, just stay there."
Cove raised an eyebrow but stayed put while you carried the dishes to the sink. You could clean them up later, right now you walked over to the freezer to grab the vanilla ice cream. You then headed to the tray of brownies resting on the counter. You picked out the biggest piece and carefully scooped out some ice cream to place on top of the brownie.
After picking out a brownie for yourself you returned the ice cream to the freezer and brought out the desserts with a grin. You could see Cove's eyes widened when he saw the treat and returned your grin.
"Wow Alex, did you make this too?" He asked as you placed the plate in front of him. You couldn't help but smile when he immediately began mixing the ice cream and brownie together.
"Yeah... I didn't know what to give you for your birthday so I thought you might like this," you confessed, looking down at the ice cream slowly melting on your brownie. When you didn't hear Cove reply you looked back up to see you staring at him in shock. You could see tears forming in his eyes and you couldn't help but tense up.
"Cove..."
He put down his spoon to quickly wipe his eyes. When he looked at you again he was smiling softly.
"Sorry, I'm alright. This is just so great Alex. I don't know what to say."
He smiled brightly at you and you remembered when you thought about confessing to him about your crush when you were 13. The only thing that changed was your affection for him grew and you ended up saying his name without thinking.
"Cove."
He looked up, a spoonful of ice cream and brownie halfway to his mouth. He looked at you with a mix of curiosity and confusion. Just like before your words were caught in your throat and you ended up shaking your head.
"Nothing just... Happy Birthday."
Cove just laughed and smiled at you. Someday you might tell him but for now you just wanted to enjoy your time with your best friend.

Birthdays
Harry Hart x Reader Warnings: N/A Word Count: 1060 (see what I did there ;) ) A/N: So, some glitch happened, the draft I saved on my laptop using Chrome got its content erased when I posted it using my phone at about 12mn. My stupid ass made no back-ups because I never had a problem with Tumblr before, but thank God Microsoft Word saved me with its awesome features. I rushed this fic in time for Colin Firthâs birthday, and I can say with absolute confidence that this is not one of my best works. But I still hope you guys will enjoy reading this. I started writing this last year, it was just sitting in my drafts, collecting dust, until yesterday. Itâs not everyday that Colin turns 60, so I wanted to do something. In this fic, imagine Arthurâs Sir Giles, the one from TGC, because he seems pretty chill. And one last thing, if youâre on Twitter, I hope you join in on making Colin Firth a Trending Topic on his birthday (September 10), and you can also use the #ColinFirthSweetSixty. Stay safe everyone!
As a spy, giving up a normal life is mandatory. One is expected to have little to no ties outside of the agency. Human connection could be a weakness when you are in this line of job, and weaknesses are bad for business. Itâs just the safety of the world that depends on the quality of Kingsman's business.
Which explains how Harry Hart was never fond of celebrating his birthday. And heâs still partial to this when you came along.
From what he told you, Harry last celebrated his birthday when he was a teen, before he joined the military. Since then, he only gets a call from his mother on his birthdays and spends an hour or two with Merlin and James, former Lancelot, may he rest in peace, having drinks if they werenât sent on missions.
Today, you asked Arthur if you could take an early day off at work. There's not much to do, and mainly because you had planned something for Harry's birthday.
It was a slow day. Out of boredom, you decided to stop by Merlin's office and ask if you could help him with anything today.
"Hey Merlin!" The wizard peeled away from the screen to look at you. "Percival, what brings ye here?" He asked. "Anything interesting happening?" Instead of answering his question, you also asked him one too. "Nah, everything seems to be good." "So, no missions for us?" You inquired, to which Merlin chuckled. "Do ye really want that?" "It's in the job description, isn't it?" You said as a matter-of-factly. Which prompted Merlin to ask you again. "You sure ye really want to go on a mission today?" The answer to that is a no, of course, but you decided to keep that to yourself. "I did ask for an early off, but I'm bored." "Right, how 'bout this? Your mission today is to pick up Harry's cake on the bakery just around the corner from the shop." "Oh, baking isn't in the skillset of our resident wizard?" "Unfortunately, no, but maybe you already have one prepared?" Your smart-ass mouth might get you in trouble just about now. "Excuse me?" You raised your eyebrow at his question. He just laughed, he handed you the receipt, and sent you on your way.
You and Harry have been dating for months now. You both decided to keep the relationship a secret in order to avoid complications at work. And that conversation with Merlin implied that he might have an idea that you and Harry are dating. What he actually knows, youâre not sure. Asking any further about what he meant would only confirm whatever he thinks, and thatâs the last thing you want to do right now.
You didn't tell Harry you were taking an early day off today; the original plan was to stay at your flat and cook dinner together after work. But you wanted to do something more, you want to spoil your man on his birthday.
Merlin picked a simple but large chocolate cake, enough for everyone at the HQ to share. Just as you arrived back in HQ, Eggsy sent you a message through the glasses saying he already got the gift.
To avoid suspicions, you decided to pitch-in on Eggsy's gift for Harry. He insisted that you guys get Harry a ridiculously large, 3-D butterfly painting so he had it commissioned. Then you and Eggsy started to put up the banners in the dining room. Harry was probably busy with paper works in his office. At work, you both try to keep your interactions at a minimum, as it seems impossible to stay in one room together alone without making out.
The afternoon meeting that Arthur called in for was actually for Harryâs birthday surprise at work. This kind of surprises at Kingsman only started when the younger agents joined the table. Fortunately, Arthur was on board and open to new traditions.
On the way home, you picked up a good wine and few other things you're going to need for tonight. Once you arrived, you immediately started prepare for cooking dinner. You can do a decent meal, but Harryâs still the best cook out of the two of you. You texted him a message saying youâve already done the groceries, so heâd just go straight to your place once he clocked out of work.
When Harry arrived, the table was already set. He was taking off his suit jacket as he walked to the dining room to start cooking when he saw everythingâs already done. You could see that he was genuinely surprised and delighted.
âSurprise! Happy birthday, love.â And you planted a kiss on his cheeks. Â
After dinner, the two of you sat on your sofa, your head leaning against his chest. The two of you sat in silence in each otherâs presence, drinking wine. Yes, you two are staying at your flat tonight, but this, this is home.
"Y/N, remember when I told you that I never liked celebrating my birthday? I somehow still donât.â You looked up at him. âBut not in a bad way. My birthday reminds me of how old I am. How much older I am compared to you.â You smiled at him. âYou know that that never bothers me, right? Starting this year, you never have to worry about that. Weâll celebrate your birthday, even if weâre sent on missions. See, without your birthday I would probably be a lonely old maid.â He chuckled. âWe both know thatâs not true. Youâre not old, not yet anyway, and I happen to know a list of men who would court you if theyâre given the chance.â âOh, are you jealous?â âIt was my chest you were leaning against earlier, so no.â Thatâs good to know, you never want him to be jealous, or even give him reasons to.
âHarry, I know youâre not a huge fan of sweets. But I made dessert.â You stood up from the sofa. âIâm a huge fan of anything you make. But I told you, you didn't have to do anything. Having you in my life is already a gift." And if it was possible to love this man so much more, you just did.
âI just wanted to spoil you on your birthday.â âAny more surprises for tonight?â Harry asked âMaybe.â And you winked

What Kind of Man
Warnings: Arranged Marriage, Period typical sexismÂ
AO3
Chapter 1: White wedding
A storm was brewing.It was the beginning of summer in Southern England, far too late in the year for weather like this. Maybe it was a symbol of what was to come, an omen. Despite the weather, the village was abuzz. Your house being the centre of the commotion. The occasion was supposed to be one of immense joy, of happiness and of love. It was the day that little girls and young women alike had dreamed of, the day their lives would change. However, for you the air of the day of your wedding was sombre, but maybe it was just you, you felt like you were about to attend your own funeral. //// You sat in front of the mirror while your mother braided your hair back into a low bun. You were still in awe at the crisp white fabric of your dress. Although you had made the dress yourself, the fabric itself was gifted to you by your future husband, he had spared no expense it seemed. You still had the letter that came with the package that day, it was the only piece of correspondence you had with the man. Your mothers face was beaming with joy as she did your hair, you however looked as gloomy as the weather outside. âMother? Do you hate me?â you asked. Your mother stopped braiding your hair and looked up at you through the mirror. âwhy would you think that my child?â âyouâre sending me so far up north, where its cold, you know I love the sun more than anythingâ She finishes off your hair and inserts some delicate pieces of âbabyâs breathâ into the back. âMy dear, as women we must make sacrifices for our families no matter how hard they maybe. Your brother wouldnât suggest someone he didnât trust, and be grateful, your marrying a Count. It brings me great joy that you will be taken care of in a way no other boy in this village could, I can die in peace knowing you wonât starve to death.â She puts the final touches in your hair, and you wrinkle your nose at the mention of death, a topic your mother seemed to discuss more often now. ânow please put a smile on your face, you look utterly miserable, it isnât your wake itâs your wedding, so please try to look the part of the blushing brideâ, she said as she kissed your cheek. You huff and force a smile. âAnd stop huffing and puffing, itâs very unladylike.â You resist the temptation to roll your eyes. Before the conversation could go any further, your friend burst through the door, âHEâS HERE!â âCatherine please donât do that again, I could have pinned the veil into Y/Ns head, and we donât want any blood on the wedding day, its bad luckâ. Your mother says as she finishes pinning your veil. A knock on the door interrupts you once again, this time it was your father. âready to go?â he asked. âOh yes yes just adding some last touchesâ your mother replied for you. âI would like a moment alone please, Iâm a little nervousâ, you said. âwell⌠be downstairs in 10 minutes, we mustnât keep the Count waiting,â your father responded. They all left the room, leaving you to your thoughts. You thought about the man you were about to marry, a Northern Count that you had never met before. Although you had never left your village, the name âMichael Langdonâ was known far and wide. You had heard stories of his beauty and charm from the women who never seemed to shut up. Your own friend Catherine had met him once at an event in London and sang his praises for days, you thought sheâd gone mad. But youâd also heard stories about him from the men, stories you shouldnât have heard. You couldnât help yourself; you werenât allowed in the parlour room when your brother was entertaining guests after his return form the Grand Tour. So, you spent the evenings with your ear pressed against the door, and you heard everything. Your brother spent the nights boasting about the debauchery and revelry he participated in, with your to-be husbands name mentioned on numerous occasions, he seemed to be the ringleader of all the âactivitiesâ the boys got up to. Your first impression of him was not that great. Thinking back on all the stories did nothing to calm your nerves. The feeling of dread just seemed to get worse. You took one last look at yourself, smoothing down your dress. You picked up your lace gloves and put them on. Finally, you pulled your veil over your face and started making your way downstairs. //// You stood waiting for the doors to open as the bells rang to signal your arrival. Those bells wouldnât be enough to ward away the evil that was to come. You held your fathers arm so tightly, you felt like a child learning to walk again. The doors started to open, you thought you would pass out. âRemember, look happyâ, your motherâs voice echoes in your head and you force a little smile. You start walking down the aisle, trying not to look at the man you were to be bound to. But the walk did not last long enough. You stood at the front facing him. Michael lifted your veil and you finally looked at him. Your breath hitched in your throat as you looked into those icy blue eyes. His golden hair, slightly curled, rested on his shoulders. You thought for a minute that an angel from the stained glass that surrounded you had come to life and graced you with his presence. But the smirk that was present on his plump lips told another story. You had spent so long gawking at your groom that you didnât realise the ring had been placed on your finger, and it was your turn to say your vows. You looked down at his hands as he removed his glove, the bright red seemed so out of place for a ceremony like this. You repeat after the priest and place the ring on his finger; thunder booms in the sky. If you hadnât been in such a daze, maybe you would have noticed how cold his hand was. The priest finishes the ceremony with a âyou may now kiss your brideâ. Michael leans down and gives you a quick peck. His lips had felt so soft, and as you turned to leave the church, you knew you finally looked the part of the âblushing brideâ //// The carriage ride back to your home was so quiet. You spent the journey looking out the window, taking in your village for what felt like the last time. You felt Michael staring at you, but your darenât look at him again, fearing you may be bewitched by him. You had never been so thankful to see your front door; you could have leaped out the carriage. Michael got out first, offering his hand to help you out. Just as you both stepped into the house, thunder boomed again, and the rain pelted down as the door was closed. A minute too late and you would have been soaked. You were both surrounded by your guests, congratulating you on your marriage. You both thanked them for attending, while making your way over to the dinner table to cut the cake. You both held the knife, your gloved hand gripped by his as you cut into the cakes, you squeaked at seeing the inside was red, like blood. You heard Michael chuckling behind you, âits red velvet my dear, quite the rage in the Americasâ. Your guests, just like you, were fascinated by this new flavour, but you were reluctant to try it, the nausea of the day getting worse at the thought of food. You both sat at the dinner table to eat with your guests. You ate very little, fearing you may be sick at any minute. Michael was a different story; you saw him eat more cake than a child on their birthday. He turned to you, holding out his dessert fork, âhere, try some, Iâm being generous I donât usually share my dessertsâ. You rolled your eyes and reluctantly leant forward, allowing him to feed you a piece. You smiled at him, âits quite nice actuallyâ. âI knowâ he replied and turned back to speak to another guest. You wanted to slap that smirk off his face. //// The evening came and the weather showed no sign of stopping, maybe it was a blessing and you could spend one more night in your childhood bed. But Michael had other plans. He stood and turned to your father, âwe should really get going, I unfortunately have important business to attend to back home and it canât wait any longer,â It was as if his honey like voice had your father in a trance. Your father being the logical man her was, would never let you leave in such terrible conditions. Yet he replied with a quick âoh yes of courseâ. You tried to be the voice of reason, âbut the weather is terrible, the roads outside this village are prone to flooding, and I havenât even changed yet.â Michael looked at you like you were stupid, âmy dear, we do not have enough time for you to get changed, its late already and we wonât arrive until early tomorrow morning. Worrying about the roads isnât your responsibilityâ he said. You father replied âMichaelâs right, the carriage has already been loaded with your things and all your dresses are in there. Who are we to interfere in the business of a Count?â Michael looks at you condescendingly again, the urge to hit him resurfaces as your fingers twitch, you wonder why this man makes you want to be so violent. Your family walks you both to the door, saying their goodbyes. You wish youâd hugged them tighter. Your mother kisses your cheek one final time, âpull your veil down dear, its bad luck for your face to be seen during your journey to you new home. Make sure you write to me as soon as you get there, Iâll worry until I get your letter.â âof course, mother I wonât forgetâ you reply. You turn to enter the carriage and Michael pulls your veil over your face, âbad luck, rememberâ he says. You enter the carriage, resisting the urge to knee him in the groin, and wave back to your parents as it pulls out. You can barely see their faces through the rain, but it would be the last time you would. Michael sits opposite you, stretches and places his feet next to you. âthereâs so much rage in you today, your jaw might hurt from all the clenching. Be a little happy, youâve married a Countâ he said. You looked at him, grateful your veil and the darkness obscured his face, âIâm making a big change Count Langdon, your county is very far from my home, and this marriage was my dear brothersâ decision, not mine. Iâd like us to get along so Ill hold my tongue for now. If it isnât a bother, Iâm quite tired and id like to sleep.â You shot back. His jaw clenched, his hand shot out and grabbed your chin like a vice. In a low snarl he replied, âthen sleepâ. With those words, your eyes fell shut, giving in to the overwhelming urge to sleep, you face still in Michaelâs hands.

Chapter Eleven: Tequila Flavoured Sutures
And ring in the New Year they did, for hours and hours and hours. There was little concern about the noise they were making due to the fact that everyone was passed out from alcohol by that point.
â-
It took almost the entire month of January until Suki had a day off, in fact, two days off. She skipped over her birthday on the 18th, opting for takeout and a movie (and not telling anyone it was her birthday so they wouldnât make a fuss). Yay to twenty-eight. Her plans for her days off initially involved those chips and candy she didnât get to indulge in before; but then she thought about Bryceâs words the last time ââŚand you didnât even think to invite me?â And immediately caved. She did want to see him after such a long time. Especially after how he was in bed at New YearsâŚ
Santa Fe: đyours?
Scalpel Jockey: i finish in a couple hours?
Santa Fe: cool, iâll be there
Scalpel Jockey: đ
So after a couple of hours Suki arrived at Bryceâs place. Pretty much as soon as she stepped through the door she was rushing Bryceâs shirt off.
âWoah, someoneâs eager.â
âItâs been a little while.â
â-
A chunk of time and a few rounds later, Bryce and Suki caught their breath on his bed. Suki wasnât ready for the night to end, she was pretty horny still, and she had the day off tomorrow, too.
âHey,â she grinned with mischief and sudden inspiration in her eyes, she had missed out on birthday fun after all, âwanna get drunk and do body shots?â
âAbsolutely,â Bryce bit his lip and his eyelids sunk with desire. Suki already knew this would be an interesting night.
They partially dressed and headed into the kitchen to grab Bryceâs alcohol. He crouched down to a little cupboard in the corner of his kitchen.
âOh.â He pulled a bottle of rum from the cupboard. There was barely anything left in it.
âShit,â Suki laughed.
âI can grab something from the convenience store?â
âEh, why not, Iâll come along.â
âYou donât have to.â
âSome fresh air might be nice after all that⌠exertion.â
So Bryce and Suki put on the rest of their clothes and headed out to walk to the store. The late January cold was biting but neither of them noticed much.
On the walk they talked about everything and nothing, like they were old friends catching up after too long away. Suki tried to ignore the fact that their hands brushed when they walked too close together. That the cold metal of his rings sent a jolt through the nerves in her fingers. She also tried to ignore the fact that made her think about holding that hand. Back on the first day, when theyâd danced to The Stone Roses, when heâd asked if she wanted to be adored and made her scramble under his gaze. And then the many times sheâd gripped his hand while he was fucking her into oblivion, letting it press her own into the mattress with pressure, his fingers fitting between her own desperately and needing like puzzle pieces. Her nails digging into the back of his hand and vice versa. She remembered how that first time and all the times since their hands had felt right, like an old key and lock with a very specific shape.
Once they reached the store, they picked up two bottles of tequila, and some fresh limes.
âIâll pay,â Bryce rushed in front of her, âIâll keep whateverâs left over.â
âNot if we drink it all,â she teased.
âThatâs 70cl each, I think not,â Bryce chuckled as the cashier put the bottles in their over-used old plastic bag for them. Suki pulled the full bag from the counter once Bryce had paid.
âCanât handle it?â
âThanks man,â Bryce said to the cashier and they began to make their way outside. âAs doctors I think we both know 70cl is like, death limits.â
âLong term, maybe,â she shrugged. When she saw the look Bryce was giving her, she added, âIâm joking, you dumbass! Iâm not sure why you even bought two bottles.â
âEh, saves coming down here again.â
âLazy-ass.â
They pushed open the door to step into the cold outside. Bryce shook his head affectionately and laughed at Suki, despite the conversation being barely funny.
As he laughed, Bryce stumbled backwards off the step up to the shop and into a man drinking just outside the store.
âOops, sorry man,â he grinned an apology. It was lighthearted and accidental and that shouldâve been the end of it. But this dude did not look happy.
âHey Buddy, are you looking for a fight?â
âNo, not at all â just an accident, dude.â
âAre you fuckinâ sure?â The man signalled down to the ground where a vodka bottle was smashed into large pieces.
âIâm sorry, Iâll buy you another.â
Suki was beginning to feel very stressed. Confrontation was her least favourite thing ever. She pulled one of the tequila bottles from her bag.
âHere, sir. Have this. He really didnât mean to break it.â
âTell your boyfriend to be more careful,â he spat.
Suki didnât want to provoke him any more by correcting him, but she also didnât want him to keep talking smack. Hearing this guy get so worked up over Bryceâs mere mistake was enough to give Suki a major adrenaline and confidence boost.
âHe tripped, and then apologised immediately. We offered to buy you another bottle, and even offered up our own. Maybe you need to calm down.â Her voice was slightly raised and she was starting to see red from anger.
âSuki-â Bryce started, holding a hand out as though to shield her.
But this man was very intoxicated and clearly in the mood to be a dick, because he walked over to Suki and shoved her to the floor. It was like everything was moving in fast forward because it happened in just seconds. And then all of a sudden Suki was on the other side of the coin and in slow motion, stumbling down to the concrete. In the process the tequila in the dishevelled bag in her hand also smashed through the worn plastic and to the floor and Suki, in trying to break her fall, stumbled back on her hands. She winced as her hand dug right into one particularly sharp shard of glass.
âShit.â
The manâs eyes widened as he noticed what heâd done and the absolute rage and contempt on Bryceâs face. Bryce was furious. Suki had never seen him so mad. Not even that day heâd lost the surgery. And it wasnât cartoon smoke-out-the-ears fury either, it was scary. Pure. The drunkard was clearly terrified by Bryceâs expression and his tightly clenching fists and he scarpered.
âHEY! ASSHOLE!â Bryce shouted after him, running down the road after him a bit. Suki was surprised at how fast he was running. He got a little ways down the sidewalk when the other man crossed a traffic-filled road. Bryce looked back and saw Suki on the floor - he knew his priority was her.
He returned to where she was now sat on the floor, examining the glass shoved into her hand and crumbs of concrete around the area, too. The aroma of tequila mixed with blood was overwhelming. Suki was honestly feeling a mixture of shell-shock and dizzy headiness.
âFuck,â Bryce said, crouching beside her and taking her hand in his like the very limb was made of glass. âIâll fucking kill him. Does anywhere else hurt? Are you okay emotionally?â
His deep brown eyes searched hers, desperate concern clouding them. All traces of the absolute anger of before were gone, only solicitude and tunnelled focus on the woman before him.
âYeah, Iâm fine. Maybe a bruise on my butt but Iâve had worse. What a dick.â
Bryce held the underside of her hand in both of his, securing her wrist steady, and scrunched his face up as he inspected it. âWe need to get the glass out of this.â
âEasy, itâs only the one piece.â Suki tried not to yelp as she pulled the shard from her palm.
âSuki!â Bryce chastised.
âItâs all good, see?â
âIâm going to pretend you didnât just do that after nine years of medical training.â
âItâs fine,â she assured him, hoping her eyes were telling him so too. Sure, it hurt, but it wasnât enough to make a big deal out of.
âYou should let me take you to the emergency room.â
âBryce. Itâs fine. Itâs not a big deal.â
He winced as he looked at the blood still pouring from the gash in her hand. âI swear Iâll deck that guy if I ever see him again. Itâll heal much better if you go to the ER and get stitches. The last thing a doctor needs is nerve damage.â
âBryce.â
âFine, then youâre coming back to mine and letting me stitch it.â
âBryce!â Suki was feeling like a broken record, but honestly at that moment, a combination of shock and the odd feeling Bryceâs eyes gave her was making it a little difficult to access her full word library.
âDonât wear my name out,â he winked, keeping one hand on hers and placing the other round her waist as he helped pull her up from the ground. She was sure to grab the unaffected tequila bottle and limes with her functioning hand.
âI couldâve stood up by myself you know, my legs are fine.â
âIâm keeping this hand so you donât do anything else to it,â he said, taking Sukiâs wrist to hold her bleeding hand above her heart, and began to pull her along with him. She sighed but let him pull her along, anything to get him not to go after that guy. She didnât need the further mortification.
The walk back had lost the vibe of the walk there; solemn and sober. Mostly filled with Bryce muttering things about the man and retained asking of Sukiâs well-being.
Bryce held her wrist the entire way, catching most of the leftover dripping blood on his own hand.
They reached Bryceâs apartment and he unlocked the door for them, closed it behind him, and then led Suki over to the sofa.
âStay there,â he instructed before disappearing into the kitchen. Seconds later he re-emerged with a sizeable first aid kit.
âThatâs big,â Suki laughed, a little more colour in her cheeks now that they were inside, âI would say youâre compensating for something but...â
âBut you know Iâm not,â he grinned smugly as he perched beside her.
Bryce was ever so delicate as he held Sukiâs hand and cleaned away the blood with an antiseptic wipe. She winced the first time the cool chemical wipe made contact with the gash which caused Bryce to immediately stop and look at her. She gave him a little nod to continue. He did his best to be careful as he moved the skin around a bit under his phone flashlight to see if any glass was lingering.
âI swear Suki if this heals and thereâs still glass in there because you wouldnât let me take you to the ER, youâll never hear the end of this.â
âFine, but I trust your 20/20 vision and steady scalpel hand.â
âAs you should.â
Once the wound was clean and Bryce had checked multiple times for fragments of glass, he pulled his suture kit from the box.
Watching Bryce steady the curved needle end in some tweezers was artful. He was so practised, so sure. The way his pretty features furrowed together slightly in focus was magnetising. She was amazed at how steady his hands were, how such large appendages could look so fine and delicate. Each stitch pulled through was neat and even, Sukiâs eyes flicking between the stitches and Bryceâs facial expression. It was piercing her skin but it was like she couldnât feel it. His other hand remained beneath hers, holding it up and keeping it from shaking. Then Bryce secured the stitches and started to wrap some bandage around for extra protection.
Bryce finished off his bandaging by tucking it in at the back of her hand. He held her hand, still.
âItâs going to scar,â he sighed.
âWhatâs a doctor without a few scars?â
âTouchĂŠ.â
âThank you for doing this.â
âIt was no question.â
Suki couldnât help but notice the way Bryceâs thumb soothed the back of the hand it was holding. She looked up to the clock. It had only been an hour since theyâd left for drinks. Eventful hour.
Eventually Bryce seemed to notice his hand and removed it from hers.
âWhat about those body shots then?â She smirked.
âYouâre hurt.â
âItâs a cut on my hand, I was planning on doing these shots with my mouthâŚâ
Bryce raised his eyebrows and licked his lips. âWell, we did manage to salvage one bottle.â
âNot to mention it has been secured by âthe best surgical intern at Edenbrookâ.â
âOh youâre damn fucking right. Fine, you know how to convince a guy. Weâre gonna take it careful though, okay?â
âDeal. On which I will not shake my hand.â
He laughed and got up to fetch the shot glasses from the kitchen, beckoning her over.
âThe counter will be best.â
Suki laid down first, letting Bryce slip her top over her head (with which he was incredibly careful with her hand), and slide her pants down her legs until she was laying on his kitchen island in only her underwear.
âNow, this is a sight that could encourage me to be in the kitchen more,â Bryce laughed, trailing a finger up and down her arm and causing her to tremble.
âStill havenât learned any recipes, huh?â
âNo. But thereâs no way in hell weâre talking about cooking right now.â
Bryce licked a finger and trailed it slowly between Sukiâs breasts, then sprinkled some salt over that area. He rested the lime wedge on her stomach. Finally he filled a shot glass with the spirit and placed it in her mouth. She was trying not to laugh too hard so that she didnât spill the tequila all over her face.
âReady?â He smirked. She lifted her good hand in an âokâ sign.
As Bryce leaned down towards Sukiâs chest, his face was hungry, craving. That look was making Sukiâs stomach flip all kinds of directions. He sensuously licked his tongue up between her breasts, catching each grain of salt. He laughed a little as he moved to collect the shot glass in his own mouth. Their lips touched briefly as he secured it in his mouth, then he threw his head back and downed the shot immediately. Then rather swiftly Bryce moved down to Sukiâs stomach to suck all the juice from the lime and counter the sharp tequila flavour.
âOkay, that was a really good idea,â he exhaled in the way one does after a strong shot of alcohol. Bryce took another three shots from various parts of Sukiâs body; for the last two she lay on her stomach and he used spots such as the nape of her neck, small of her back, and asscheek. The two of them were a messy mix of laughing the whole time, and really enjoying the whole thing.
âRight? My turn now.â
Bryce and Suki switched places, and he threw all his clothing bar underpants off towards the lounge.
Suki used her tongue to dampen the line in the middle of Bryceâs abs for the salt, balanced the shot glass precariously on the flat part of his chest, and placed the lime in his mouth.
She was slow and tantalising as she lapped up the salt, swift as she took the shot, and then there was the lime. She leant down to suck out the sour juice, but kept the lime in his mouth the entire time she drained it. It was an odd but exciting semi-kiss.
After a couple more shots Suki had a new idea.
âWait, wait,â she laughed, a mischievous glint in her eye.
âWhat?â
âWhat if⌠I poured a bit on your stomach and licked it upâŚâ she was laughing a lot, but it was obvious the idea appealed a lot to her.
âDo it.â
She placed a hand on his stomach to steady him before she planned to carefully pour the liquid over him.
âHey, careful with that hand,â Bryce nudged, noticing it pressed flat on his body.
âYes, yes, Dr. Lahela,â she teased.
Time seemed to fly by as the pair took shot after shot, broken up by messy intoxicated kisses, neither realising that Sukiâs tolerance was far lower than Bryceâs. After losing count, they wordlessly abandoned the game, relocating to dance around stupidly in their underwear in the living room. Suki may or may not have been swigging tequila directly from the bottle at that point.
A number of songs played and then:
âIâm⌠pretty drunk,â Suki laughed, closing her eyes and letting herself sway a bit.
âSame!â Bryce enthused, before Suki began to topple over towards the sofa, âwoah! Okay, youâre more drunk than me.â He giggled as he caught her fall. Now he was sitting on the floor with Sukiâs jelly-like body in his arms. He kept a weary eye on her bandaged hand.
Yes, Bryce was drunk, but the moment he needed to be sensible or protective it was like a switch went off in his brain.
Her eyes were still shut and a blissful smile spread over her face. âKiss me.â
Bryce leaned in and gave her a chaste peck to the lips.
âI know you can kiss better than that,â she echoed his words from their epic kiss.
âNot when youâre drunker than me I canât.â
âBoohoo.â
âWe should get you home. Iâll come with, Iâm not sure Iâm comfortable putting you in an Uber alone.â
âI donât think I can walk very far, Bryyyceee.â
âOkay, you can have my bed then. Iâll take the sofa.â
âNooooo,â she brought up her limp hands to grab either side of his face, visibly wincing a bit when the bandaged one made contact with his face. âSleep with me.â
âClothed? Sure.â Bryce took her damaged hand in his own and held it away from any pain risks.
âNopeeee,â Sukiâs remaining clumsy hand began to slide down Bryceâs chest and fiddle with the band of his boxers. He laughed and grabbed them both with his free hand to stop her.
âIâm not having sex with you again tonight.â
âMeanie.â
âOkay.â He chuckled again.
âBut will you sleep with me? Like, to make sure I donât throw up in the night or something.â
âSure, miss tequila.â
Bryce stood and pulled Suki up with him, her eyes fluttering open at the movement, and supported her in the walk to his bedroom.
âAre you cold? I have some pyjamas if youâd like,â he offered when they got there, still holding her tightly to his side.
She shook her head, but didnât seem sure. She looked up to Bryce with wide eyes and a startled expression like she was only just really seeing him.
âBathroom,â she choked out, and Bryce rushed her towards his en-suite. He supported her all the way to her eventually emptying the contents of her stomach into his toilet bowl.
He held her hair back from her face as she very inelegantly upchucked into Bryceâs toilet a few times.
âIâm sorry,â she looked up at him, eyes wide and apologetic, âI didnât mean to drink so much Iâm justâŚâ nervous around you. Stupidly feeling ways I shouldnât for my fuck Buddy. Wanted you to see me as fun and free-spirited. Now Iâm just embarrassing myself.
âYou donât need to explain yourself. Itâs okay.â
Once it was clear nothing else was coming out, Bryce helped Suki drink from a glass of water, and briefly left the room for her to pee.
Bryce was gentle as he ran a spare (unused) toothbrush around her mouth and directed her head to the sink each time to spit.
Suki wasnât coherent enough to ramble all her apologies and thanksâ, but she was so grateful. Could this man stop being so amazing, please? Iâm trying to stop being weird, here.
Eventually Bryce was able to help Suki into some of his pyjamas, somehow without looking at all. Seeing a very drunk naked girl is not the same, even if he had seen said girl naked many times prior. Then he helped her into bed and she collapsed against his pillow like a rag doll. He climbed into bed beside her, careful to keep his distance.
âBryceâŚâ she slurred, the sleep clear in her voice. âYouâre a really great guy. Iâm glad weâreâŚâ Suki was going to say friends, but it felt wrong coming out of her mouth at that moment. âIâm glad I know you.â
âYeah, Iâm glad I know you too.â Bryce reached up a hand to stroke her cheek. She sighed into his hand, moving a bit cat-like.
âSince you wouldnât fuck me, will you at least cuddle me?â
Bryce laughed. âOf course.â
âYou are so great. So great. Great guy.â As she mumbled these words drunkenly it was clear the unconsciousness was taking over.
Bryce rolled towards her and cradled her into his chest, holding her tightly as though it had been a long time coming.
Bryceâs breaths came gently over Sukiâs forehead. And after a few minutes, when he was sure sheâd fallen asleep, he spoke ever so quietly.
âIf only you knew what a screw up I was,â he muttered. Suki may have been drunk and spewing shit she wouldnât sober, but her ears were working fine. And she would remember this in the morning. Despite the intoxication she knew such out of pocket words would be something sheâd recall. She knew then to keep as still as she could, not alerting to him that she was awake or coherent.
â-
When Suki woke up, her pillow was hard. Her duvet was gripping her waist kind of tightly, too. As she nuzzled into the pillow her senses were invigorated with a sudden and familiar scent: suddenly most of the nights events clocked in her brain.
Sex with Bryce. Walk to convenience store. Accidental beef with drunk man. Damaged hand. Bryce stitching up said hand. Body shots. Lots of body shots. Random blank moment. Oh god - throwing up in Bryceâs toilet. Being dressed by a closed-eye Bryce. Finally falling into bed. Those words.
What the hell could he have meant by that last night? If only I knew what a screw up he was? As far as Iâm concerned right now heâs an angel sent from above to deal with a problematically drunk Suki.
He was breathing gently beneath her, quiet noises at each exhale. She noticed as she listened to the rhythm of his heart, that her heart was beating in time with his.
Maybe she shouldâve left. After all, sheâd ended up causing a lot of trouble for Bryce. And, sheâd stayed the night. Maybe if she left before he woke up it wouldnât count that sheâd broken the rule.
But before she could truly agonise over her decision, Bryce stirred, blinking awake and looking down at her.
âHey,â he smiled. To Sukiâs surprise his arm remained around her waist. Okay, Iâm surprised he doesnât hate me. Then again, he wouldnât be the type to be open about hating someone.
âHey,â she replied quietly, looking up at him from his chest. âSo⌠I was pretty drunk last night.â
âYeah. I thought I was too and then you fell over. The decline was pretty quick after that.â
âIâm so sorry. That you had to see me like that, look after me, and then I hijacked your bed too⌠it wasnât appropriate of me and it was unfair on you.â
âItâs okay, Suki. Youâd do the same for me. Weâre friends and making sure youâre okay and looked after is important to me,â he nodded sincerely before grinning and adding, âplus, now I have plenty of blackmail material.â
âGod I was awful wasnât I?â
He chuckled.
Oh shit. âDid I say anything really bad? If I did please ignore it because I talk out of my ass when Iâm drunk Iâm sure it was utter nonsense.â
âIf you did, I think Iâll keep it to myself.â
Ughhhhh. She groaned loudly and buried her face into his chest so that she didnât have to see that stupid smirk. Now my mind will race about what I couldâve said for the rest of time.
Suki actually felt like hitting Bryce as his large hand slowly soothed her back.
He had to stop doing so much for her, being so exemplary, because it was adding to a problem that had been brewing in Suki for a while. Heâd comforted her in the supply closet twice, heâd looked after Tommy, heâd held her hair back while she was sick and let her stay the night, and heâd stitched up her wound so carefully and precisely. Heâd even nearly beat up that guy for her.
Shit. Shit shit shit shit.
Sheâd broken her promise, because it wasnât just about sex anymore. Truthfully, maybe it never was.
There was absolutely no way she could swing it any longer. Suki Moore liked Bryce Lahela. As more than a friend, more than a body. She was enamoured by him, and had no clue what to do about it.
