Like a Podium - Charles Leclerc

<word count - 790>

Today was the day you had been waiting for for weeks. You were waiting for your boss to knock on the door of your office and tell you you had gotten the promotion you had so desperately wanted for ages.

It was either that, or you waited all day until you heard that someone else had gotten it. Charles had also been waiting on this day. If you didn't get it, he didn't know what he would do with himself. Seeing you upset broke his heart into a million smithereens and, what made it worse, was that there was nothing he could do to fix it. All he could do was hold you and be there for you. 

You hadn't typed so much as a letter on your screen, as every time you heard footsteps past your door, you sat bolt upright in hopes of the door opening. Lunch had gone by, with no word from anyone.

You and a few other coworkers were all on edge for the whole day, but now it was getting bad. You were sat back at your desk, your knee bouncing up and down and your hands shaking. You wanted it so badly.  

The door finally opened and your boss stepped in. "Hey, can I talk to you in my office for a minute?" he asked, and you nodded as you stood and smoothed your skirt out.

As you walked through the office, people looked at you. 

You sat down on the black, leather chair in front of your boss' large, oak desk. You could see yourself sat where he was one day, getting to make people's days like he could be about to do to you. 

"We know you haven't been here very long, but we have found your work to be to an excellent standard," he started, leaning forward on the desk. "But, we would like to offer you a promotion," there was nothing more that needed to be said.

You spent about half an hour, discussing pay rises and office changes. You felt on top of the world. As you left the office, a grin plastered on your face, some people looked at you with congratulating smiles, others side-eyeing you with disdain and jealousy. 

You were even allowed to leave early for the day as a small reward for your work. You hopped in the car as you slowly drove home, formulating a plan of how you would tell Charles. 

You decided to tell him that it had gone horribly wrong, and you were going to try and cry. Looking at yourself in your car mirror, you stared at your reflection until your eyes were watering. You rubbed them a bit as well to try and make them a bit redder.

You ruffled your hair for good measure as well. Silently, you walked through the door, before hearing footsteps approach. "Hey baby, how'd it-" he started, before his eyes fell on the redness of your eyes. 

"Oh, sweetheart," he said, rushing up to you and wrapping his arms around you. You pretended to sniffle against his shoulder as he pulled you in tighter. "You're going to hate me," you mumbled into his shirt. 

"No, baby, I could never hate you for anything like this," he said, his heart shattering into millions of fragments. Pain coursed through his veins as he looked at you, eyes red raw and mascara streaming down your cheeks. 

"You're going to hate me because-" you started, but were cut off by him pushing you out of the hug and holding your face in his hands. "Baby, I could never hate you-"

"Charles, you're going to hate me because I'm a fucking liar. I got the promotion," you beamed at him, watching as his face turned from comforting sadness to elation. "Holy shit, I'm so proud of you!" he yelled jumping up and down.

You leapt on him, wrapping your legs around his waist. "You're amazing!" he said into your neck. "I am at your service, your promotion-ship," he said, putting you down and bowing at you. 

"I'm so happy," you smiled, hugging him again.

"How does it feel?

"It feels like whenever you get a podium or a win. It's pure happiness and adrenaline and excitedness," you told him, his smile growing even wider. 

"You deserve it more than anything, baby," he said, sitting you down on the couch. "What do you want for dinner? You can have whatever you want,"

"What's the most expensive place we know?"

"If that's what you want, then that's what my girl will get," he smiled fondly at you. His smile lit up every room and there was no problem it couldn't solve. This was the feeling of being on the top step of the podium, and you were never coming down.

[the1northlanderprincess]

The end of a beautiful story....Episode 6, TCL

Well, the time has unfortunately come for Arman's story to close, and I am feeling SO many things about how it was done. I will try to write everything somewhat coherently.

Questions

Thony spent the first part of the episode being interrogated by different people wondering about her relationship with Arman. She dodges Jorge's inquiry completely. When Fiona asks her if she wants an "us two", Thony gives a little more up. Well, kind of. She asks if she should let him in, which, in all seriousness, I think she already has (more on that later).

Anyway, back to her scene with Jorge, Thony is almost elated to hear about them getting a proof of life for Arman. Then she listens to it, and you can see her expression totally change. She's, like, "conceal, don't feel", and tries her best to not show anything in front of Jorge. But, to us, you know it struck a chord with her with the memory of her time in Mexico with Arman. It's really the first time we see a glimpse into an intimate moment she's spent with him, and her feelings on them. And, it isn't the only time in the episode.

Why did Arman use the lyrics in the first place? Was he somehow hoping that Thony would listen to it and know he's thinking of her? Or was he just so drugged he was hallucinating about the actual event, and the captor used it for the proof of life? What is evident, though, is that Thony was on his mind, and I think that says a LOT.

Signs of Arman

After Thony and Fiona decide to follow up on JD's intel, Thony notices a kid setting down what she believes is Arman's jacket. She picks it up, smells it, and knows right away that it's his. How telling is that? That she knows his scent? It's love, baby! Anyway, so, after getting help from a local kid, they are able to find Dante's apartment from the outside. Thony looks through a broken window and spots what apparently is a very dazed Arman. She can hardly believe it and is nervously excited. Finding their way in, Fiona unlocks the door of the apartment. Thony wants to go in by herself, so Fiona stays outside to stand watch. Thony calls out for Arman as she looks around. She finds a whole shelf of the drug, but accidentally bumps into it. That leads to....

An Illusion

Thony's reaction as she seemingly wakes to hear Arman's voice is absolutely brutal. Like the way she clings to him and tells him in a desperate voice how she'll never let him go again. It's full of fear, relief, and, in my opinion, unconditional love. It's another glimpse into what she really feels for him. However, what she thinks she sees is only a hallucination, and how she reacts to that as Fiona comes to her aide is totally devastating. She sounds like she's on the brink of sobbing. As she is being helped to Jeremy's pickup, it becomes distraught. To hear her voice crack while saying "I need Arman". is...a lot. That fraught-ness turns into almost a crazed excitedness as she spots Arman being dragged away.

Now this may sound crude, but people do tend to be at their most honest when they've lost their inhibitions. This is what happened here. I know that people weren't pleased about this incident, but, it fit the circumstances, and it was an effective tool for us to see her true feelings exposed, and maybe reveal it to herself. Anyways, going back to her words, I think they have double meaning. Not only does she need Arman back in general, but she needs him to help her through this drug-induced suffering.

The chase

Jeremy is doing his best to keep up with the captors, and you can see how on edge Thony is with this pursuit. When they finally catch up with the getaway car, Thony's expression upon seeing Arman, and saying his name, is certainly one of relief, but you also can detect some confusion, almost like she's surprised to see him. Maybe some part of her was still questioning what was real. Arman is experiencing the same thing when he sees her. He did not expect to see her at all.

Things get more intense, and the vehicles separate for a time before meeting side by side once again. Arman and Thony lock eyes for a moment, and you know that they know something is building. For a second, there is a longing in her gaze, one unlike we've ever seen her give. Arman's is a bit more bittersweet. His mouth is set very sorrowfully. He senses that this will more than likely end badly, and is apologizing to her; that he wishes things could have been different and they had more time. It all snowballs from there, and one of the bad guys points a gun at Thony. She doesn't appear to have much of a reaction to it. I think she's too fixed on Arman to comprehend that she's the one in immediate danger. However, Arman notices. You can see him taking stock of the situation and we know that he's trying to figure out what to do. He's constantly looking back and forth from the gun holder to Thony. The last time he turns to Thony, it's quick; he wants to see the woman he loves one more time before he takes action. He does so in a swift fashion, hitting away the hands of the gunman, then reaching for the driver. Thony can only watch in confusion and shock as the car veers off the road. Her expression turns to horror as she watches the car jump over a cliff.

Seeing her run to the edge and breaking down was just so, so sad. Aside from Luca being kidnapped by his father, we have never seen her in so much pain. Yet as she raises her head after the initial grief, in what I call a moment of strength, you see some semblance of...well, not peace, but something akin to it. It is at this time she looks back to the dance in Mexico. It is a snapshot moment when the two of them were free to be in love with no obstacles; a moment resembling a couple already in a serious, romantic relationship signified by their slow, tender kiss.

As tragic as it is, all of this tells us something major (really for the first time) about how Thony viewed her relationship with Arman. I will expand on that for the next episode's meta.

Very minor salt/not actually that salty.

Shakes person I Dm'd 6 days ago. I know you're probably busy, but you don't know how excited I am, and my excitedness makes me anxious and impatient.

Pleaaaaase FR deities, please make them answer soon.

[edgarsullivans]

my top 4 s10 eps by how excited i am for them just by their cast, promo photos, ep names + descriptions!

1. the company of men

- sullivans back!

- i love felicia + sullivan scenes bcs i think they are quite similar characters without really realising they are, and from the photos nancy posted i think we’ll defo get some!

- honestly the gentlemen’s club setting sounds really interesting especially with sullivan as we haven’t really seen him interact with anyone outside of kembleford before- im assuming it’s outside of kembleford idk

- BRENDA!!! i love brenda sm, but it’s going to be kind of bittersweet because i really loved bunty + brenda as a duo and i don’t think we’ll see that again, but im interested to see the dynamics between her and felicia, sullivan and mrs devine!

2. the winds of change

- honestly this is more apprehensiveness than excitedness

- im really hopeful for a mrs m and bunty goodbye scene at the very least. i love both of them sm and it doesn’t at all make sense in their character arcs to leave kembleford, and if they write it down as bunty going back to london + mrs m as going back to ireland ill probably cry. mrs m would not leave kembleford, she loves it with her whole heart, and as long as father b is there she wouldn’t leave. when he gets threatened with excommunication in s9 she stayed with him because their not just colleagues, they are best friends! she would not leave esp not without saying goodbye! same with bunty, in s7 we see that she actually sees herself staying in kembleford, “what, go back to london?” so i really don’t see her leaving either so there’s gotta be a good explanation for both of them.

- im really excited to meet mrs devine and see how goodf is going!

- might cry because all the og father b gang is officially gone now :(

3. the serpent within

- the title gives me the idea that someone in the central cast has betrayed sullivan, which im really excited for! i totally wanna know who it was!

- I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IF SULLIVAN ENDS UP STAYING IN KEMBLEFORD AS MAYBE A PI?

- does goodf become inspector????

4. the hidden man

- a string of murders is something very new to flambeau, so im excited to see the plot!

- “sullivan pays father brown a visit” seems awfully friendly, to me it suggests they are co-operating together which will be so fun! im really excited to see father b + sullivans dynamic because it’s going to be so different from s2 + 3 for sure.

- WHOSE THE WOMAN IN THE PROMO PHOTO?? i can’t wait to find out.

Warnings:  angst, MAJOR TW:  mentions at the loss of children/stillborn babies, rough/difficult labor, mentions of blood

“And that’s what I’m telling you!” Jefferson said firmly, “we need to fortify our strongholds, make them impenetrable.  My cousins started a war that we wanted no part in, but I will make sure that all who reside in my kingdom are protected!”

“But my king, we don’t have enough to adequately care for those outside of the village’s reach,” one of his nymphs spoke up, “if we invite all of our own into the city to make sure that they are-“

“I will care for all of my subjects!” Jefferson called, cutting the nymph off, “it’s an executive decision and I have made it.  Call all subjects belonging to the woodland realm, and tell them that they need to come to the city.  We’re going to be sealing it off so that all of us are contained and protected.  Then make a second call for the guard.  They-“

A throat cleared and for a moment Jefferson was livid.  But Jefferson stopped speaking when he saw Samantha standing at the entrance to his war room.  The woodland nymph’s heart swelled, seeing his mate finally safe within reach. 

“I-I didn’t mean to interrupt…” she spoke gently. 

“I have done what is asked, my king,” Chase said simply, “may I take my leave to go to my family?”

“Yes…yes…go,” Jefferson nodded, not at all paying attention to Chase.  No, his eyes were only on his mates.  He bounded across the room and held her in his arms, “my sweet, sweet Samantha.  You are here and safe with me…you are at my kingdom.”

“Our kingdom,” she corrected.  He nodded adoringly.  A few of the nymphs gave one another curious looks, surprised that she was interjecting herself into the matter and calling the kingdom hers as well when she’d never been in it before now, but said nothing, “Jefferson…I’ve missed you so.”

The woodland nymph eagerly agreed, showering her in simple kisses.  She giggled and he smiled, happy to know that he could cause her happiness, “I’ve missed you too, my love.”

“My king?”

Jefferson bit his lip and turned towards his subjects.  In his excitedness to see his mate, he’d already forgotten about the plans he was building with his subjects to create a safe village for when the war inevitably landed on his front step.  He turned towards Samantha once more and held her at arms length, an apologetic look already gracing his features, “my love…I am sorry…I do have to do this…but I can have my personal guard take you to our quarters so that you can rest and get some food.  I will be up soon…”

She frowned, not at all happy with the answer that was given to her, but nodded regardless, “I understand.”

He leaned forward to press a chaste kiss to her lips, but at the last second she turned her head to the side, and the nymph caught her cheek. 

“Very well,” he agreed, already feeling like he’d messed up.  He looked to the blonde-haired blue eyed nymph that was standing off to the side, “Thor…would you please show my mate our shared quarters?  And get some food in her as well.”

Thor nodded, a small grunt passing his lips as he pushed himself off the wall and towards the shifter.  She eyed him curiously but said nothing, allowing him to pass and head out into the large halls.  He didn’t say much, and instead, chose to lead in silence, making his way through the large home that Jefferson had built.  The halls started to feel like a maze with walls lined in ivy. 

“Where are you taking me.”

“To your quarters!” he said simply, not offering up more.  A few moments later they came to a stop.  Thor opened he doors, and Samantha was surprised to see a simple room.  She frowned a little bit more.  The room she’d been given at Jake and Ransom’s home had been far more decadent, but this room looked unimpressive in comparison. 

“Where’s the rest of it?”

Thor narrowed his eyes slightly at her, “What do you mean?”

“Where is the rest of his quarters?” she questioned, stepping into the simple room.  The floors, ceilings, and walls were made of the same simple wood.  There were no painted items or decorations along the wall aside from ivy.  And the windows didn’t even have glass in them.  In place of a bed was a fluffy looking pod and it’s designed reminded her of a brown and white mushroom.

“This is a traditional looking room!” he said as though it were obvious, “I do not know what you expected the quarters to look like.”

“At Ransom and Jakes-“

“We are nymphs, shifter…not fae,” he snarled, “we do not strive for the extravagance that they do!  Jefferson especially prides himself on being extremely close with nature.  He would not surrender that for opulence.”

“A coat of paint wouldn’t hurt anything.”

“Actually many paints have toxins that would have negative influences on the surrounding environment…Jefferson wouldn’t do that.”

“We’ll see.”

Thor left in a huff, telling her simply that Jefferson would be up ‘soon.’  So with a look of disdain she began inching towards the bed.  She released a sigh as she sunk into it.  It was much softer than it looked, and way more comfortable than she’d given it credit.  And not a second too soon, she realized how truly tired she was from her journey, and she quickly drifted to sleep.

“GET THE KING!”

Commotion ensued around Jennifer.  The midwives rushed her, while others ran away from the crowded room to get Nick, who was busy dealing with other important things inside the swell of the mountain. 

Jennifer screamed as another wave of contractions hit.  She tried to just breathe, but it wasn’t making much difference.  A stabbing pain in her stomach made her scream again, nearly falling back into the midwive’s waiting arms.

“She’s bleeding!” one of them called out.

“My babies!” Jennifer whimpered, feeling all too weak and vulnerable.  The blood spot on her pants got bigger and a second midwife led her over to the bed and helped her get her pants off, “help my babies.”

“Get King Nick,” another midwife yelled from down the hall, “she’s going into labor!”

“The babies!”

“They’re coming, queen Jennifer!”

She screamed once more, the stabbing sensation turning into a heavy pressure in her core.  Her hands reached around the swell of her belly.  Inside she could feel movement, but there was a twist in her stomach that made her feel like something was wrong.  Another heavy whimper left her lips and she began to sob, “s-something.  Something’s wrong!”

“I’m here!”

“NICK!”

Nick ran to his wife’s side.  He was quick to cradle her face and shower her in kisses, “I’m so sorry I wasn’t here earlier.  I’m so sorry bab-“

“The babies!” she whimpered, cutting him off, “Something’s wrong, but they aren’t listening.”

“My queen, you need to push!”

“My wife is saying that-“

“The babies are in distress!” the head midwife said swiftly, cutting the nervous parents off, “you need to push my queen, before it is too late!”

“What does she mean, too late?” he asked, looking nervously towards her, “too late?”

“My queen, you must push!” one of the midwives begged, “on your next contrac-“

But she too was cut off; this time by Jennifer screaming again.

“Push, my queen!”

“Push!”

“Push,” Nick agreed worriedly, holding his wife, “my love, you need to push!”

“Keep the guard on high alert!” Nick commanded as he watched the midwives with his nymphs.  He could tell by the way that the two surviving hatchlings held on that they were the perfect combination of him; one a fire, and one a water nymph, “Lance will want to claim my son as his subject.”

Jennifer’s head snapped in the direction of her husband’s, “what are you talking about? No-no one’s taking the babies from us, Nick!  N-“

“Raze is a water nymph, my love…Lance will want to take him!”

“I won’t let him!” she snarled, glaring at him.  She went to get up from the bed, but the pain in her stomach made her cringe and retreat back into her partially laying position.  She reached out to Nick, tears in her eyes, “don’t let them take our babies, Nick…”

“No one is going to touch Raze or Sai.  I promise that to you!” She tearfully nodded, and Nick sat beside her on the bed.  The two fire bassinets beside them were filled with the volcanic rock and ash of their stillborn children.  She began breaking down and Nick was quick to pull her towards his chest, “it’s okay, my love.  It-It’s not your fault…”

“They’re gone, Nick…”

“Unfortunate, but true,” he sighed, his own tears welling up as he silently mourned his other two hatchlings, “fire nymphs have a high mortality rate when there’s more than two in a group…we’re lucky to have Sai and Raze.”

“I don’t feel lucky!” she admitted, crying against him, “we lost two of our children, Nick…two of our babies…they grew inside me for-“

“I know!” he said quickly, cutting her off, “and I know that there is nothing I can say that will make it right…but we have to protect our own right now…”

Nick looked to the two midwives who had gotten the boys calm.  Walking over, they held out the hatchlings to them.  Nick took his fire nymph son, Sai, and passed him to his wife, then took his water nymph son, Raze, and held him close.

“We can’t lose them, Nick…”

“We won’t, my love…”

“I’m so afraid, Nick,” she admitted, looking away from her son, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, “what if it happens to Sai and Raze…what if they-“

“They won’t,” he replied, cutting his wife off.  He didn’t want to hear her say those words, didn’t want her to put out into the air that they could lose the boys as well, “no one will take them.  No one will harm them.  And anyone that wants to come for them will have to get through me.”

[fromspringandfire]

it was moments like these where laena struggled to understand the whispers of jaehaerys targaryen being a mad man, as so many in his lineage before him. she knew it was likely the result of a bias she had to defend her brother, but the side of him she saw did not give her the notion he was mad at all - rather caring, protective, empathetic, even. she had always been a hopeful woman, however, wishing to see the best qualities in others. he gave her no reason to not trust him, and took her under his watch all those years ago despite not having to. perhaps it was for image, to temper the reputation he had amongst some, but laena believed it to be genuine.

his reaction to her ramblings about a farm animal elicited a gentle laugh from her, hand hovering just over her mouth for a moment, before he brows came together with a brief look of dejection. “oh, brother. you have endured so much and here i am chittering about my goat.” she placed a hand on his forearm. “i am so very glad you are all well. lenora has invited me to a tea party, i am looking forward to it.”

that statement was half true, she were looking forward to time with her good sister, but she knew very well the way she was perceived. laena supposed there was no better time than to present a self-assured front than at an event hosted by her own family. at the news of haera’s impending engagement, her grin brightened. “haera? oh, i’ll have to find her soon. i bet she is so thrilled.”

her excitedness chatter came to a brief halt, a pause as the two pondered over the landscape before them, the colorful silks of those who bore them painting colors within a vibrant garden. laena looked to the other, now. “and how do you feel?” she inquired. there were no real specific thing she was angling at, rather overall.

"Then let us hope she never has to leave again." He smiled at her, happy to hear the news coming from her. It mattered to him that his sisters were safe. The world was uncaring in regard to women. They were easily forgotten and pushed aside. They were often seen as bargaining chips and while they were in some respects he thought Princesses were different from the causes of other women. The world wanted and expected more from them but offered them just a bit more protection. Of course, this sister wasn't a Princess but she could be.

"Your goat?" He furrowed his brow a moment and shook his head. He didn't understand goats. Or keeping animals as pets in general. They died sooner than them and along with dying so quickly they were a lot to watch after. And watching after dragons proved to be a lot. When he looked at the work of the dragon masters there was a lot of dangers and shit. But, goats couldn't be dangerous. "Well, I'm glad you have your goat."

"Haera is well. Garrick Cargyll has asked to court her, to gain approval to marry her." He laughed a bit, hands resting on his waist as he stopped to look over the landscape before them, stepping up a bit he looked down at the lower half of the garden watching the people mulling around. "Things are going fine otherwise. Forming the council. Handling those who didn't want to bend the knee. "Lenora seems to be fine after everything."

word count : 1.2k

warnings : severely unedited, and contains word vomit. . . this is a vent post for myself, and mental health. it does not at all depict any specific form of illness, nor is it meant to be accurate for each individual. this is for me, and my emotional stability. it’s how me, myself, and i, feel.

11:25 AM.

"i think that our last mission actually went pretty well! fushiguru, nobara, and i handled it all quickly. gojo sensei even said he was proud of us!" yuuji spoke to you, walking side by side with the other two students that he cared so deeply about.

the only issue was… you stopped listening. it wasn't that you were uninterested, or didn't care about the excitedness that took him over. in fact, you cared about them all very much. you wanted to listen, to hear every word and be proud of the group for getting stronger and working together; but you couldn't. not when your hearing kept fading in and out. your ears only caught every other word, unable to piece any of them together. with each step you took, you felt it got harder to breathe. your eyesight occasionally unfocused, everything within just a few feet of you going blurry. only the outline of shapes could be seen.

were you just asked a question by someone? you couldn't quite tell. the only thing that sounded in your head was an obnoxiously loud buzzing, that made your brain go fuzzy. as if on cue, your sight clouded again. a seemingly innocent pebble landed in your way, causing your ankle to just barely twist as you hit the harsh sidewalk belonging to the jujutsu school. your body tripped forwards, and you landed with a thud on your knees. that was it. it had to be. just a little scrap to your body, and you'd be on your way again. hopeful to finish the conversation you had tried desperately to engage yourself in.

… only, the buzzing grew louder.

it pounded on your head, abusing your skull as if it had been a cage that the sound was trapped in. pounding, pounding, and pounding to be released. why wouldn't it stop?

make it stop! you silently begged to yourself, the plea going unheard by everyone as they watched in horror. what had gotten into you? the three students stepped away, afraid to speak, console, or even touch you. they didn't understand. why were you pulling so violently at your hair? why were you screaming out into the courtyard that the noises wouldn't stop?

it grew more intense. your skin began to feel as if it had a creature underneath it. crawling beneath it quickly and steadily, only before it began clawing at you. it wanted out. the anxiety wanted to rip you to shreds, and it made you dig at your skin for it to stop. another painful scream echoed out of your lips, sounding as if your throat had already gone hoarse as you did nothing but sob into your hands begging for it all to stop. had you finally cracked? every feeling and emotion that you hid beneath the surface– the worry, fear, and anxiety, all crept through until it could chip away and leave you here. a void of your own doing.

hands fell onto your shoulders, bringing your shaking frame into something steady. the feeling made you jump back, looking to escape. the embrace only tightened. he should have known to not touch you so suddenly without warning; but something had to ground you quickly and get you somewhere quiet to breathe. he didn't have the time to wait. especially not when he heard your screams from across the campus, and became burdened with his own fear for you. realizing you had nowhere to run, you opened your eyes to stare up at what had held you. gojo satoru kept you secure to his chest, while you struggled to breathe.

his lips were moving… what was he saying? you couldn't read them, and your ears refused to pick up on any sound other than your heart beating violently against your ribs. you needed to hear that voice. to feel his own heart instead of yours. you needed– yet you couldn't have. listen to him speak, dammit, you thought to yourself. tears streaming freely as you couldn't escape the mental prison you had somehow locked yourself in.

"gojo, what's happening to y/n?!" itadori asked, concern contorting his expression.

nobara was next, almost in tears of her own. "are they going to be okay? what can we do?!"

gojo shared a look of pain with megumi, hoping he'd understand. he had to get you far away from here, and keep you somewhere safe and to yourself. he knew this would happen, he tried so hard to protect you from the world; but it turned out he couldn't protect you from yourself. gojo looked relieved as megumi turned away from the two of you, grabbing his friends hands and dragging them towards the dormitories. shouts of disapproval and frustration from them could be heard by everyone in a ten mile radius. you could almost make out the words… until your sight refocused on gojo's lips. he was talking. was it to you? what was he saying?

come on, heart. shut up… quiet down, would you?!

"i'm sorry i wasn't here sooner, dove. i should've noticed you weren't okay," he sighed, pressing his forehead to yours as he began to lift you into his arms. "i'm going to take it all away for a little while, alright? long enough for you to rest, and come back to me so that i can help properly this time. i need you to be okay, i can't lose you."

truthfully, your boyfriend was terrified for you. it had never gotten this bad before, and he knew that he had no way of truly helping you escape the place you were often stuck in. he couldn't do much… but he could gently press two of his fingers to your forehead, mumble an i love you that you couldn't hear, and cause you to sleep in his arms. it wasn't a permanent fix, but it allowed you to stop crying, and for your heart to cease its aggressive palpitations.

when you awoke, he vowed to see to your peace.

time no longer felt real with you tucked away in his apartments. your senses regained their purpose, but you clung to him like a wounded child that was lost. over and over, all you could mutter into his skin was soft 'i love you's'. nothing peaceful would ever last for you, that much you knew. no matter what you did, you would never find happiness so pure that it would save you from the darkest parts of yourself. the parts that caused your own destruction time, after time. not every moment could be laughter, and serenity.

. . . but with gojo satoru around, you could at least breathe without restrictions.

DESIGNER HORNS

summary.. itto drops by your house with art materials

featuring.. itto and his longing for rainbow horns

cw.. itto being an absolute cutie, gender-neutral! reader, not proofread

vigorous knocking on the door while carrying two paper bags on the other hand, ITTO tries calming his nerves down as he continues knocking on your door to relieve his excitedness, sometimes switching up his knocks to be more rhythmic and with beat that he bops his head to while waiting for a response.

"itto.. it's five in the morning.." you yawn, covering your mouth, a tear forms at the corners of your eyes as you yawn. itto has woke you up from your slumber not too long ago with his on-the-spot composed knocking beat, but the way the stars in itto's eyes shine at you, twinkling happily, can't make you stay all grouchy at him. calling him ecstatic will be an understatement though, he looks over-the-top thrilled! or greatly enthusiastic! maybe even his nerves skyrocketed far past the asteroid belt! he's almost like firecracker, ready to explode in excitement, he is closest to be the manliest he in the entire world! thinking about being the manliest man on earth made him a lot more giddy but brushes it off cooly with a smug smirk on his lips.

"sooo," he chimes, "i brought some stuff.. it's- they're amazing! i don't even know where to start!"

"come on, numero uno, spit it out or you're out the door." you tease, starting to feel more awake than earlier. "i don't care how you put it, consistent topic or what, you look like you're going to explode so just splat them all on the concrete floor and spill it!"

"okay okay, first off! i'll give it to ya' for calling me the numero uno," he places his hands on his hips, head high and proud with his winning toothy smile.

"second! that was terrible, it would've been better if you said.. umm, i'll tell you later instead! and finally, the grand final-ayyy," he waves his hands on the brown paper bag, as if performing a magic trick, "i brought, different sized paintbrushes!" he emphasizes the diff in the word different and reveals the pack of brown colored paintbrushes of various brush sizes. it honestly looks pretty expensive, whatever this oni has in mind must be very very devoting to the point he'd buy expensive paintbrushes.

he then waves the pack of paintbrushes over the bag to perform another amazing magic trick of his "aaaaaand rain. bow. paint." he almost squeals at the end. pausing in between rainbow to give it a more dramatic effect while he stutters his hands to pull it out for, again, the dramatic effect. it wasn't heavy, it never was, he did all those to impress and wow you.

you let out a snicker, thinking to yourself how is someone supposed to be scary and dangerous, feared by everyone be this adorable? you need answers.

"so, numero uno," you take the paintbrushes, and the rainbow paint in your hands, reading the cautions and ingredients since you have a slight idea of what this big guy wants to he done. "is this your way of proposing to paint you something? i mean, this would be special treatment since you can just come to me — the amazing painter of all of inazuma — and squeeze in without an appointment!" you tsk and poke him on the shoulder playfully. "i hope you aren't abusing your power as my friend, hm?" you raise a brow.

"of course not! everything should be fair, uh-uh!" he then sheepishly adds, quickly, "buuttt, i do prefer if you uhh would squeeze me in, i mean- i am called numero uno for a reason!" he awkwardly lets out a small laugh that then became a cough.

there's definitely no fairness in that, you smile mischievously.

"sure sure, so, you like rainbow horns, correct?" he nods eagerly, almost as if he grew puppy ears.

"yup! i'll be the coolest looking dude on the streets, dont'cha think?" he grins proudly, very proud of his idea of rainbow horns. "oh! and-and, do you know those stuff where you write on the black paper with a stick and then rainbow's will show?? yeah! i also want to try that too! maybe even design these bad boys with those rainbow outlines on the black!"

you nod, "don't you think we should try rainbow horns before stepping up the next level? we could trip in the process, ya'know?"

"yeah-yeah, you're right! just make me look more eye-catching!"

The (Y/N)(L/N) and Jake Peralta Story- Jake Peralta x F!reader

Warnings: Police, Guns, violence, panic attack, shooting, crime. (lemme know if there's more) (this doesn't follow the order of the show)

Pairings: Jake Peralta x F!Reader

Genre: Fluff/angst

“Does anybody get a little bit of a gay vibe?” Gina Linetti Questioned making Detective (Y/n) (L/n) nod vigorously in agreement

“I do!” she beamed. Unbeknownst to her Detective Jake Peralta smiled fondly at her excitedness, momentarily forgetting that the new CO was on his ass.

“That’s (y/n) (l/n) she’s one of our best detectives, she the youngest to hold the highest amount of arrests in this precinct, her and Peralta partnered? No one stands a chance against them, they’re inseparable and have the best dynamic here, and she’s like family to all of us.”

“Jake Peralta, also one of my bests, he loves catching bad guys and solving puzzles, the only puzzle he hasn’t solved? Is how to grow up?”

“That was very well put.”

“He and l/n have bet on who will have the highest arrests, since then, the arrests have increased drastically.” the sergeant took a breath “but here’s the thing…both of them are in love with each other, and neither of them have realized it.”

“Yes it was fairly obvious to me.”

Jake sat behind (Y/n) discreetly as to not tell her that he was there, spying on her blind date, he wasn’t sure why he was doing this but he felt content when he was, it was only fair he messes with her.

(y/n) smiled when she saw his name popping up, with a ridiculous picture of his on her phone as she answered the call, politely excusing herself.

“Hey JP...” she greeted softly, Jake felt like he was going to melt at the tone of her voice.

“hi, captain called, he wants everyone back, we have a lead on the nightingale strangler.” she listened intently not knowing his intention “we’re looking for a while male, 5’10”, medium build.” he spoke trying to contain his laughter “small scar on his right cheek.” (y/n) wearily looked at her date, who matched Jake’s description.

“Okay…?”

“his MO is that he finds lonely women with no friends, poisons their food and guts ‘em in his van.” Jake felt a bit guilty for making her feel anxious but, nevertheless it was payback, it was not fun for him when he had to walk around the precinct with green hair for a week. “it’s pretty gnarly, last seen wearing a salmon shirt, gray blazer and witnesses say he has trouble fitting lettuce in his mouth.” (y/n) finally let her guard down with a soft chuckle in realization.

“Alright alright, where are you?” she rolled her eyes.

“Apparently has the world’s smallest penis, and doesn’t know how to use it.” she heard as he hung up the phone and stood next to her “hi there I’m Jake Peralta, y/n’s boss.”

“That’s not true.” she scoffed at her best friends antics but a ghost of a smile still adorned her face. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here on a date.” she felt like her heart pummel to the ground “and she’s leaving, worth it.” he quickly kissed her head making her let out a small laugh, she didn’t know if she felt happy that he was there or that his date dumped him.

“Your boss seems really nice.” her date commented.

“He’s not my boss.”

“Yes I am!”

Suddenly the whole setting felt too wrong to her, she wanted to leave her date, and she wanted to go find Jake. So that’s what she did. She apologized profusely to her date who brushed it off with a knowing look as she rushed out the restaurant.

“What are doing here?” Jake questioned as he sat on the bonnet of his car.

“Date sucked.” she breathed out.

“Was it the lettuce?” y/n laughed at his quip, he took her hand and opened the door to the passenger’s seat, helping her in before moving to the driver’s seat.

Before she could question his actions “they’re playing all the Indiana Jones movies at the drive in.” a bright smile made its way to her face which automatically made Jake mirror her expressions as they made their way to the drive-in theater.

“You’re a horrible secondary Jake, for once just hang back and let Boyle do his job.” (Y/n) scolded her best friend when he kept stealing Charles’ command. He sighed feeling bad that he made her mad.

“Okay fine until I get a direct order from him, I’ll stand here motionless, like a wise old oak tree.” he pulled a face, and stood funny, y/n nodded with a smile, and kissed his cheek as a thank you.

Jake stood there motionless wondering why he felt like the way he did when she kissed him, well that was before the ME walked in.

(Y/n) watched as Jake flirted shamelessly with the ME, she sighed in disappointment continuing to work the case. She looked at the contents of the house while her mind ran with the thoughts of why she felt the way she did when he flirted with the ME

“Okay can you keep a secret?” Jake asked while Rosa, Amy and y/n were hanging at Amy’s desk. (Y/n) tilted her head with a knowing look “okay good point.” he pointed at her. But (y/n) felt her heart break as she listened to him talk about his relationship with the ME. She had to get out of there, before Jake could see how she felt, but the other women in the group did. (Y/n) shook her head disapprovingly at Jake before walking out to the woman’s room. Rosa and Amy was so sure they were going to kill Jake as Gina followed (y/n) to the washroom to help her.

She knew, she was in love with her best friend. And there was no denying it.

“What’s up with her?”

“SERIOUSLY PERALTA?!” Jake groaned, rubbing his head where Diaz hit him.

“A Boyle-Linetti wedding…so weird to say that out loud.” (y/n) commented as she watched Lynn Boyle and Darlene Linetti have their first dance and rubbed Jake’s back who was upset about the whole Jenny situation.

“This is just sad, JP c’mon I know I’m not Jenny, but wanna dance?” she tried to coax him out, he gave a sad smile but took her hand nevertheless, she beamed leading him to the dance floor.

“You’re not Jenny, but you’re (y/n) and that’s more than enough.” he softly muttered and that was enough to make them bashfully grin as they swayed in the dance floor to the melancholy beat playing in the back ground.

Jake watched her as she talked about everything and nothing trying to distract him, moving closer, she laid her head on his chest still swaying, he came to a realization:

Jake Peralta was in love with his best friend and there was no denying it.

He was rolling his eyes at Charles who kept making hand hearts and kissy faces, but smiled knowing yet again Charles was right.

“hey.” He called out to her softly “I-um” his words got caught up, when after the hectic day he could now really see how beautiful she truly looked “you look really beautiful.” he finally confessed, one out of many.

Heat rose to her cheeks as the words left his mouth “thanks, you look beautiful too Detective.” she smiled honestly. “Oh god.” Dread came upon her face. Jake immediately asked her what was wrong “Charles is giving his speech.” the same dread made its way to his face.

“I feel like we should make a run for it.”

“Same.”

“Heard there’s a star trek marathon happening at my place.” he smirked at her.

“JJ Abrams?”

“You know it.”

“Good evening ladies and gentlemen…” Jake took (y/n)’s hand and the two ran out of the venue laughing all the way.

(Y/n) felt sick when she heard Rosa’s badge number on the comms in the scene of active shooting. The entire squad stopped dead in their tracks while Jake confirmed that it was Rosa’s number.

While the squad were in the briefing room, discussing about the situation, Jake was the one to notice (y/n)’s silence, and the jitters she emitted so when the squad was dismissed, Jake stayed back to notice her unmoving form, he was the one who noted her breathing pattern and immediately ran to her. “Do you want to get out of here?” he softly asked as to not over whelm her. And took her hand in his when she nodded, taking her to the roof. When they were away from the prying eyes she launched herself onto him with great force, they almost fell, but he was able to catch her, whispering words of comfort to themselves, rocking back and forth trying to get her to breathe.

At that moment Jake knew he was going to protect her with all he had.

“This is not that bad.” (y/n) commented looking at the purple dress she wore to her date with Jake, the supposed “worst date ever.” for losing the bet with him.

“Of course it isn’t, you’re wearing it.” her eyes went wide at his reply, as Jake realized what he had said and rubbed the back of his neck nervously

“Thank you.” she whispered, looking down. “But that on the other hand, I can’t even lie and say it looks good” she laughed at his outfit.

You know the rules. The date starts now and ends at midnight. I decide what you wear, what you eat, and where we go." Jake listed out as y/n rolled her eyes

"Oh, and there is one more rule. No matter what happens, you're not allowed to fall in love with me." (y/n)'s face fell for a moment before going back to its usual smirk.

"that wont be a problem." she scoffed, but her heart felt heavy as she said those words.

Jake would be lying if he said he didn't feel a pang of guilt and regret as the words left his lips, and the heaviness he felt when she replied to him.

"congrats Charles." y/n congratulated her friend, while downing her drink

"slap Jake (y/n)" she almost spit her drink at the man's words, and looked at him in a questioning way "he is in love with you, you're in love with him, I wasn't supposed to say that, now I'm going to go save terry's marriage."

"i don't- i- what?"

"hey you okay?" Jake walked over to her after noticing her dumbstruck expression, she quickly regained her composure and smiled a him assuring that she was fine, she watched as he walked away to talk to Charles, but there was only one thought in her mind.

she was hopelessly in love with Jake Peralta.

but does he lover her back?

"Jake, do you know why little boys pull little girls' pigtails on playgrounds?"

" 'Cause they're so easy to grab. They're just begging to be pulled."

"Because they like the girls, and that's the only way they know how to get their attention. What are you saying? All of this teasing, this elaborate date, somewhere down deep, you like (y/n). Like, "like her," like her, you love her."

"Okay, that's straight-up insanity." Jake denied the accusations even though he knows the Charles was right.

"How much did you spend on tonight?"

"$1,400, but all of it's on credit cards, so it's, like, $5 a month for the next 2,000 years. I am not in love with (y/n)!"

"You're putting a lot of effort into a joke. Why don't you sit down and have a real conversation with her?"

"Okay, Boyle, you live in your ex-wife's new boyfriend's basement. I'm not taking advice from you."

"Hup. I'm ashamed of my living situation." Jake walked away with only one thought .

he was hopelessly in love with (y/n) (l/n).

but does she love him back.

"Darling." he called out to her, (y/n) smiled at the nickname even if she knew it was a joke "Brief pause. Duty calls."

"Oh, thank God."

"We're gonna catch these guys and get back to the worst date of your life."

"No. Nothing will ever be worse than the date I had with my aunt's dentist." she grimaced as she recalled the date, which made Jake double over laughing. Jake watched her with a fond smile as she tried to catch the peanuts in her mouth, he knew he made the right decision on declining the relief team just so he could have a few moments with her. the two laughing that she managed to get zero of them in her mouth. That's when time around them stopped. "What?" she chuckled under his gaze, a part of her knew what was to come and she didn't want to mess it up.

"I love you." (y/n) did not expect for him to straight up say it, she sat there, looking like a deer caught in headlights before a smile made its way to her face. Before Jake could talk more, she crashed her lips with his, holding his face and deepening the kiss.

Jake felt like he was on the top of the world, the girl he loves was kissing him. after getting over the initial shock, his arms went around her waist, the two closer than ever before breaking the kiss, gasping for air, the two laughed.

"Jake...I love you too." He laughed kissing her head before the two spotted something or... someone.

"give me the ring." she nodded, handing the one dollar ring, getting his plans. "now give me some nuts."

"Jake..." her eyes were trained on her targets, she smirked as she felt his eyes on her. "give me some nuts, title of your sex tape." Jake's eyes went wide in disbelief as he watched her run down the stairs towards the targets.

"damnit, I should've seen that... (L/n) wait up!"

220408 yixing weibo update (mini essay about 10th years anniversary + his sm contract)

In the past, I felt that 10 years was a crazy period of time.

But till this day when my contract with SM Entertainment is up, when I look back at the 10+ years, it’s really as if with a blink of an eye, me who entered the company and was still a child has become me who is now 30 years old.

The contract has completed, 10 years contract is up, but our friendship is still going, the days we grew up together are still there.

I am very thankful and will always be thankful to the company who has supported me and helped me all these years; for the EXO members who have accompanied me and were understanding towards me in these 10 years; my fans, my friends, family who have always loved me, encouraged me, showed concern towards me; you’ve worked hard, thank you.

I will forever remember the day, 2012 8th April, when I officially debuted as an EXO member.

Forever remember the small training room that was filled with my brothers and my many years of youth.

Remember the excitedness and nervousness I felt when I first saw so many fans.

When I look back at those memories today, I feel that I’m lucky. Ordinary me who was born in an ordinary family, have an ordinary height, have ordinary conditions, during the time when everyone was working hard, just because that little bit of luck, I got the chance to stand on stage. Hence, I made use of every day after this to thank this bit of luck and as I’m afraid that I cannot be lucky forever, I kept on working hard. 10 years have passed, in the world now where things have remained the same but people have changed, I’m still me, I’m still the me who is immersed in my own monster world and wished that I can continue to fight nonstop, I’m still the me who has the music dream and the dream of acting as a killer/t-Rex.

This me, is better as compared to what I imagined when I was 20, a little lacking as compared to what I longed for when I turn 30 but this is the real me today.

Indeed, many things that I believed in the past that may seem to exaggerated and unrealistic, I still very, very much believe in them today.

Like how when you’ve lived a lifetime, you’ll need to dash forward, even if you may face difficulties or obstacles, you will need to work hard and run towards your goal without hesitation, till the day when you cannot run anymore.

For example, I want to bring Chinese music to the world, want to let the world to see us.

For example, must bring the ‘fight or die’ spirit to work hard, it’s ok even if you fail, at least you will know how far is the distance between the point that you fell to the end point.

A man will remain young until his death. When I turn 60, I still want to be the best kuafu, even when I fall, I am falling on the path to chase the sun. It sounds a bit exaggerated haha. But this is what I have always been thinking about.

Today, it’s the end and also a new beginning. I hope that I can bring whatever that is left for me from my past experiences to continue to explore Zhang Yixing’s new career plan and life plan, and to explore the new way forward together with SM Entertainment, to test, to challenge, to take risks, to become a better self, to build an even bigger and better boat.

Lastly, in these 10 years, I want to say, may everyone have your own dreams, to chase your own dreams, please believe in yourself, believe in hard work, believe in striving hard.

Never be afraid of waiting, alway anticipate what the future holds, in the next 10 years, in the subsequent 10 years, hard work will always bear results of hard work.

Destiny will keep the sweetest candy for the child who has waited for the longest.

Marvel Series Are Weird... Right?

SPOILERS FOR HAWKEYE SERIES+ MORE

I find it so odd that Marvel has given A LOT of their characters massive character overhauls for their series... just to possibly never use them ever again (AKA them dying)

Hawkeye, for instance, I never really liked him- a better term would be 'cared for', especially MCU Clint- I just never found him that interesting and I thought adding his family in Ultron seemed weird, rather pushed upon us as some weird character development by Joss.

The show... is amazing. I went in for Kate Bishop, I'm now walking away from episode 4 with a newfound love for Clint (I fell in love with him in episode 1 tbh).

We see Clint having to deal with Endgame, a year on. So it's been a full year since the death of Natasha, which is STILL prevalent for him. Honestly, Natasha plays such a key role in his series, I thought she'd be referenced once or twice, but it's been multiple times with a few past shots of her. It's clear Clint has survivors guilt.

Clint is partially deaf and uses a hearing aid. This is from being around explosions and made worse from Endgame during the last fight. Clint told his wife about Ronin and she actively helps him (from home) with trying to get rid of his Ronin past.

Clint isn't a great father, but he's trying very hard to be present which is very difficult and can emotionally affect men because their relationship with their children is strained- I love that his series is touching on this, where he makes promises and REALLY struggles to follow through and leaves him feeling guilty about letting his family down.

SO... we get all this emotional development, plus some character development. We see him secretly enjoy Kate Bishop's questions and her excitedness over... him. The show pokes fun at the fact Clint doesn't have great branding and actually, people forget about him- which he finds nice cause his job is to be discreet.

Someone on TikTok called Clint the 'Passive Avenger', he didn't want or sign up to be one, but Loki making him passive in Avengers and having to watch as he had no control over himself made him become an Avenger.

The ending theory of Hawkeye is that Yelena (Natasha's sister from the movie Black Widow) is going to assassinate Clint, due to the fact, someone has put a Black Widow hit on him (she was chosen because Valentina Allegra de Fontaine told Yelena Clint killed Natasha).

We go through all this development with Clint, we find out so much about him, and his relationship with Natasha. Only to have him die?

What is it with Marvel and giving characters extreme character overhauls only to kill them, we had done to us with Loki, which I still haven't forgiven them for (despite getting a Loki series). The whole ten years with Loki and him being a villain, to passive and then, finally, redemption to only be killed by Thanos. I went on a journey with that character only... to have him die.

Same with Vision, I never really cared for him. The WandaVision series was AMAZING!!!! I learnt so much about him through Wanda and he taught her to let him go; to grieve. I think that series was emotionally beautiful but they did it again. They gave Vision a lot of development only to basically kill off the Vision we came to like.

Am I the only one slightly miffed by this?

IDK the thought of seeing Clint struggle to be a father, to being an unwilling mentor to Kate and dealing with his grief over his best friend... if they kill him off it's gonna suck. I think, at least, one original Avenger should get a chance at retirement (not accounting for Steve cause he had to go back in time to do his retirement) but also still be in this world.

I also think Clint should be the one to have a proper happy ending in the current MCU cause of Nat's sacrifice, she willingly gave up her life so he could see his kids (plus millions of others) again. She did that for him cause she knew, despite who he had become, Laura and his family will make him be Clint Barton again.

The whole killing characters off just so you don't have to mention them in future phases is just weird to me. Killing characters off for shock endings and twists is boring. Killing characters off because the actors are moving on is also lame, i mean, they never have to actually appear again they can just be named.

Constellations- Charlie Gillespie Imagine

Summary: You and Charlie go on many adventures, and this time Charlie surprises you with an adventure you’ve wanted to do for a while.

Warnings: none just MEGA FLUFF

Words: 2.29k

When it came to getting to know Charlie, I found out that he is a very spontaneous person. We have been best friends for the past 8 years (crushing on him for the past 3 years), and I have been on so many adventures with him. We have been on many camping trips, random drives, sunrise hikes, and midnight shenanigans. These adventures would either be Charlie texting to see if I wanted to do something, or he would just show up at my door as if he already knew I would say yes. It’s never a dull moment with him.

It was a Friday night and I was sitting on my couch watching Friends eating a bowl of spaghetti with garlic salt sprinkled around the noodles. Normally, every Friday Charlie and I have dinner together while we watch a TV series or movie. However, with Charlie’s filming schedule, he isn’t able to do it all the time. Tonight was one of the nights I wish I had him around for company.

Knock, knock, knock.

I jumped at the sound coming from the front door. I quickly put down my bowl on the coffee table and pause my show to walk over to the door. I unlock the door and open it to find my best friend standing in front of me.

“Charlie?”

“Surprise shawty!” he says with making jazz hand gestures. I furrow my brows at his uncommon remark. “I learned that from Mads. I thought it was funny.”

I nod my head, “I figured as much. What are you doing here? I thought you had filming tonight?”

“Yeah, I kind of lied about that. I felt bad for not being able to make it to our Friday night dinners, so I thought I would surprise you!” Charlie says while stepping into my apartment. “Uh, you’re watching Friends without me?!”

I chuckle at his offended outburst and close the door, “Sorry! I didn’t know what else to watch. Plus, I didn’t want to start anything new without you!”

Charlie shakes his head in disappointment. “Are you ready to go?” he asks while bouncing on the balls of his feet.

“What do you mean?” I question.

“I have a surprise for you. Are you ready to go?” he explains.

My eyes widened, “I thought your presence was a surprise. Not, ‘I have a surprise for you’! Also, do I look ready?” I gesture to the tank top and shorts I was wearing.

Charlie shrugged his shoulders, “Well, if you aren’t ready, then go get dressed! Wear something warm; it’s a little chilly out tonight.”

I go to the coffee table where the remote was placed and turn off the TV. “Alright, alright. I’ll be right back. You can have the rest of my noodles, by the way. I’m full,” I say while walking to my room to get changed.

I shouldn’t be so surprised that Charlie was doing this. I guess with his busy schedule, we haven’t been on an adventure together in a while. I looked in my drawers to see what I should wear. I have no idea what Charlie as planned, so I’m not entirely sure what kind of outfit I should wear. I find one of Charlie’s long-sleeved shirts that he left at my apartment and decide to wear that since he said to dress warm. Even though I have washed it, his cologne still lingered on the piece of clothing. I change my shorts to wear leggings and put on some Doc Martins boots.

I quickly put on some deodorant and walk back to the living room. Charlie was sitting on the couch watching Tik Tok. I stop at the beginning of the hallway, “Is this okay?”

Charlie’s head snaps towards me. “Perfect!” he says standing up. “Is that my shirt?”

I look down at the brown and white, striped long sleeve shirt. “Yeeaah?” I say timidly not knowing what he what he was thinking.

“You look cute in my clothes!” Charlie smirks and puts his hands in his pockets. I could feel my cheeks burn from his compliment. For years, I have been trying to hide the fact that I have been crushing on my best friend. It hasn’t been easy when he is a naturally flirty person. Plus, I don’t think he thinks of me that way because we have been friends for so long.

“Thanks. Should we get going?” I question.

“Yes, we shall!” Charlie shouts as he walks to the door and opens it. “After you!” I giggle at his silly gentleman actions. We walk down the apartment hallway to the parking lot where his orange Subaru was parked. Charlie opens the passenger door, and I climb into the car. Ever since high school, Charlie always opened the car door for me. Even if I opened it myself, he would shut the door and reopen it so he was the one to open it. Sometimes I mess with him and get in the car myself, but he would just make me get out for me to just go back in the car when he opens the door.

Once Charlie gets into the car, I ask, “So, where are we going?”

Charlie turns on the car and puts his seatbelt on, “That’s for me to know and for you to dot, dot, dot.”

I snort at his response. “Did you just quote Vampire Diaries?” I laugh.

“Maybe!” Charlie smiles and backs out of the parking lot. He turns on the radio to some random country station. Even though I’m not the biggest fan of country, I enjoy listening to it with Charlie. I tried to think on what he was wanting to do when it’s 11 o’clock at night. There aren’t many things open. I thought at first he wanted to just go for a drive, but he would have just told me that because that isn’t much a ‘surprise.’  

Next thing I know, we have been driving and jamming out to music for the past 45 minutes. I look around to see that we were basically in the middle of nowhere. “Charlie, you aren’t kidnapping me, right?” I wonder jokingly.

Charlie gasps and puts a hand on his chest as if he was offended, “How did you know?!” He breaks into a smile and a giggling fit. I laugh along with him at how cute he was acting.

“No, but for real. Where are we and what the hell are we doing?” I ask looking out the window. There was nothing but open fields.

Charlie slows the car down and pulls over to where the whole car was on the grass. He then puts the car in park. “We are here!” he says excitingly. Charlie pops open his trunk and jumps out of the car.

I follow Charlie and get out of the car. I walk towards the trunk to see him holding a couple of blankets. “Okay, you have some blankets? Are we camping without a tent?” I question. I am completely lost at what Charlie is wanting to do.

“We, (Y/N), are going to star gaze!” Charlie says.

“Wait, really!? I’ve been asking to do this for forever!” I say jumping up and down happily.

Charlie giggles at my excitedness, and we start walking in the empty field. I grab one of the blankets in Charlie’s arms so he wasn’t the only one carrying something. We get close to the middle of the field and place the blankets on the ground. Because I was so excited, I plopped and lie onto the ground. Charlie lies down on the right of me and we start looking at the sky. You could hear nature everywhere. You could hear the night birds chirping, the grasshoppers playing their music, and the cicadas all around us. I take my phone out of my pocket and start playing low vibes music.

“Was this worth the wait?” Charlie asks.

I nod my head, “Heck, yeah! I’ve missed our adventures, so this is amazing!”

“That’s good! I know how much you love stars and constellations, and you have been asking to go star gazing for a while,” Charlie says still looking at the stars.

“I appreciate it a lot. Thank you!” I say facing Charlie. I grab his hand and give it a squeeze. As I was going to pull my hand away, Charlie squeezes my hand as well so I wouldn’t let go. I start to blush at this and face the sky so Charlie doesn’t notice my blushing.

I then start to point out a bunch of constellations that I could find. Every now and then through my peripheral vision, I would notice Charlie looking at me instead of looking at the sky. He wouldn’t look for long before he would face the stars again. However, as I was pointing out the Canis Major constellation, Charlie wasn’t paying attention to the sky at all. Instead he was just looking at me. I stop what I was saying and face Charlie. “Are you listening?”

He tilts his head, “I have for the majority at the time. I just think you lighting up about stars is so cute!”

I shake my head and look at the sky again, “Whatever.”

“Plus, you have a constellation,” Charlie says.

I snap my head back towards Charlie. “What do you mean?”

He turns on his left side and places his index finger on my left cheek while still holding my hand. “Your freckles right here. They kind of make a constellation. It can be called the (Y/N/N) constellation.” Charlie says while lining up the freckles on my face. I could feel my face getting hotter as Charlie was guiding his finger on my cheek.

“Have you been looking at my freckles instead of the stars? I mean, the stars are beautiful tonight!” I say, trying to put the attention back on the sky and not my face.

“But I am looking at something beautiful. I’m looking at you,” Charlie compliments, his finger still lining the freckles on my cheek. He had a slight smirk on his face. He then stops lining my freckles, tucks a strand of hair behind my ear, and cups the left side of my face. He brushes his thumb on the apple of my cheek. My heart is beating so hard and so fast. I couldn’t believe what was happening. Charlie’s eyes kept switching to looking at my eyes to my lips. ‘Does he want to kiss me right now?’ I think. No one does that unless they want to kiss someone. I suddenly feel Charlie’s hand that was on my cheek sneak a little towards the back of my neck. He then pulls my face towards his and captures my lips onto his. I hesitantly kiss back, shocked that I am kissing my best friend right now! Charlies lips were so soft, and I could slightly taste his vanilla chapstick. He pulls away slowly. I gradually open my eyes to see him looking at me.

“Wow,” I whisper. “I-I wasn’t expecting that!”

Charlie pulls away his hand from my cheek, “Was that okay?”

I slightly bit the corner of my lip, “I mean, I’m not complaining about it.”

“Well, that’s good. I would be embarrassed if you weren’t okay with it. I have been wanting to do that for a while,” he says looking down at our hands.

I furrow my brows, “Y-you have?”

“Yeah!” Charlie scoffed. “I thought it has been pretty obvious that I have liked for a couple years now. I’ve been dropping subtle.. well I guess not so subtle hints, but it wasn’t working because you never noticed!”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Seriously?! I never knew that you would like me back!” I said now sitting up and letting go of Charlie’s hand.

He looks up at me and sits up as well. “Wait, like me back? You l-like me, too?”

“Yes, Charlie,” I sigh. “I’ve liked you for the past three years or so. If anything, I thought I was being obvious even though I was trying to hide it.”

“Why were you trying to hide it?” Charlie questions.

“I didn’t want to ruin our friendship,” I confess. “I didn’t want to tell you my feelings if you didn’t feel the same way. I would have hated myself if I made our friendship awkward because of that. So, I tried to burry my feelings and not let it get to me.”

Charlie takes both of my hands and gives them a little kiss. “I felt the exact same way. I didn’t want to lose what we have, but I guess this means we can grow what we have even more,” he says, caressing my knuckles.

“Yeah, I guess it does,” I smirk. “That is if that’s what you want.”

Charlie leans in closer to my face and whispers, “It’s all I want.” He places his lips on mine once again. This time I instantly kiss back, take my hands out of his, and place them on his cheeks. Charlie rests his hands on my thighs. I smile within the kiss because of how happy I am.

After a few kisses, I pull away. Charlie smiles sweetly and squeezes my thighs. “I think this is our best adventure yet,” he says.

I nod my head in agreement, “I think you’re right.”

“Maybe our next adventure could be a date? A proper date?” Charlie asks.

I smile widely and give him a peck on the lips, “I would love that.” Charlie gives me a couple of cheek kisses to then give me a few more pecks on the lips. We both lie back on the ground to cuddle up next to one another and continue to look at the stars. This was the best night ever!

HIHIHI I ALSO KIN SOLLY HE’S MY FUCKING FAV I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

WOULD U DO STIMMING HCS? WHAT KIND OF THINGS EACH MERC DOES, AND WHEN, AND STIMMING W THE OTHERS MAY B? IF U WANNA FOCUS THIS ON JUST ONE MERC GO WILD

OH MY GOD OH MY GODBYAYAYAYAYAYA

I AM GONNA NEW HAPPY/EXCITED STIMS AND NERVOUS STIMS N FIDGETS N STUFF

SOLDIER- OKAY SO FUCKING.. SOLDIER WHEN HE IS VERY EXCITED KINDA JUST,,, HITS WHATEVER HE’S HOLDING ONTO HIS HELMET REPEATEDLY.,, HE PICKED THIS UP FROM SLAMMING HIS SHOVEL ON HIS HELMET REPEATEDLY DURING BATTLE. (WHICH IS A THING HE ACTUALLY DOES,,, went absolutely monkey wild when i first started playing tf2 n i saw soldier hitting his helmet with his shovel during the tutorial. kin. i do that but with my phone...) SO it’s usually a grenade or an empty beer bottle. he’s excited!! gotta put that excitedment somewhere and where does it go?? that energy goes into slamming whatever object is currently in his grasp directly on his head. When he’s feeling like,, impatient or ALSO excited he fiddles with the pin of his grenades (usually when he’s holding them ready for battle) he does this in Mann vs. Machine :) I feel like he’d definitely pull on the straps of his helmet sometimes, or just kinda mess with em unconsiously. He also talks to himself a lot, not sure if this is a stim but I’m adding it in. god I kin this bastard so much.

SCOUT- Alright so scout would probably have the regular flappy hands when he’s excited!!! Or table definitely finger drumming on any hard surface near him, usually a table. Bounces his leg when he’s sitting. Tugging and messing with the bandages on his hands, constantly taking them off and putting them back on, untightening em n then tightening em. When nervous or consious of it he’ll crack his knuckles and when he can’t crack them anymore he just presses really hard on his fingers, until they’re able to crack again.

I can’t really think of big descriptionish paragraphs for the others, so I’ll just do small ones abt fidgeting n small stims for some of em.

Spy- I feel he’d definitely re-adjust his mask, gloves, and tie a lot. Especially when he’s nervous. I think he’d also unconsiously twirl his butterfly knife around, Scout pays attention to this. If spy ever accidentally leaves his knife on a table, he’ll most likely come back to Scout trying to twirl it around. (with a bunch of bandaids all over his fingers)

Pyro- Flappy hands!! Clapping!! Jumping around!!! all the fun excited stims!!! also they probably fidget with their lighter a lot, this worries the others a little bit but they mostly know not to actually set anything on fire, at least not anything big.

Demo- I feel like he taps his fingers and scratches the back of his neck a lot. Like when he’s sitting down he’ll tap his fingers on the table. Also he’ll scratch his beard :) I do not have a lot to say.

That’s all I’ve got! Sorry it look long and also that there’s no Medic, Engie, heavy or Snoipa. Could not think of any for em. Feel free to reblog with you’re own headcanons for em!! or submit hc’s as asks :) I love hearing peoples thoughts.

8 with Bonnie for the kiss prompt if you're taking request! 💜

Sweet - Bonnie Gold

Main Masterlist // Peaky Blinders Masterlist

Summary: Y/N and Bonnie have a night it away from the boxing and the drama. While they share some surprises they have for each other.

AN: Hope you like @peakyrogers

Pairing: Bonnie Gold x Female!Reader

Warnings: Just pure fluff

Y/N and Bonnie always had free time at night. He always came home right before dinner because of his training. Y/N didn’t mind since he loved boxing and she wanted to support his descions like he did with her.

Y/N would go to the ring when he was practicing sometimes but rarely does because she knows that she distracts him sometimes. But she would always go to his matches to cheer him on. No one could convince her to not go to one of his matches, even Bonnie.

They met when they were only young and he was the one who asked her out when they were 14. Of course Y/N said yes to the date since she has had a crush on him ever since they were little. The first time they kissed was when they were under the stars after their second date and it was pretty awkward since no one knew what they were doing.

Y/N that night had surprise for him that night and he had surprise for her as well.

They had a house for each other but they frequently visited his vardo since they both didn’t like staying in one place for to long.

But tonight Y/N and Bonnie are staying at their house since Bonnie was going to get home earlier to have a romantic night with Y/N which she didn’t mind.

She got the dinner ready they were having mash potatoes with some chicken and vegetables. She got some chocolate cake for desert since she was really start to crave it. She had Polly over to help with the dinner since Y/N wasn’t a 5 star chef.

Polly left after they got the chicken started and she made sure Y/N knew what she was doing before she left.

While the food was cooking Y/N was starting to get excited since her and Bonnie only got some alone time at night in bed and in the morning. While in her daze, Y/N didn’t notice the food beeping but when she did she sprung into action taking the chicken out and waving the air to get some of the smoke out. The only damage was that chicken was a little more burnt than she wanted it to be.

She was getting the table ready when Bonnie came through the door and notice the smell of the smoke and started to get worried about her. But when he entered the kitchen he found her setting the food.

“Love why does it smell like smoke in here,” She heard Bonnie asked which made her jump since she hadn’t notice him come through the door.

“I almost burnt the chicken,” Y/N murmured slightly embarrassed. “But don’t worry its only a bit burnt and still edible,” She reassured him after noticing the look on his face.

“I wasn’t worried about that Dove I was worried about you,” Bonnie came over and told her with a smile on his face and then kissed her forehead. “I got a surprise for you tonight,” He grinned which made Y/N blush a bit.

“Me too actually,” She giggled with a smile on her face and set the plate right in front of where he was sitting.

“Well that’s a coincidence,” Bonnie teased with a smirk on his face as he squeezed her hand as she put it on his shoulder. “Well I know that my surprise is better,” Bonnie quipped with a smile on his face a she got the food on their plates.

“Hmm I dont think so darling mine is probably the most surprising,” Y/N chuckled at her boyfriend. He couldn’t possibly have a better surprise for her.

The two lovers began to eat talking about their days. Bonnie explained some stuff that went on in the boxing area and Y/N told Bonnie that Polly and Ada came over and Polly helped with the dinner while Ada left. When The Golds became allies of the Peaky Blinders Y/N started to hang around with Polly and Ada since they seemed like good company. Polly was also around the vardo when Y/N was since Aberama was there. They had met through them to be exact.

The dinner was filled with laughs of joy and they haven’t even gotten to their surprises yet.

Once the dinner was over Y/N got the cake out and put it on a new plate since the ones they just used were dirty.

“Is this the surprise if it is I have to say mine is better,” Bonnie joked around with a laugh. Y/N rolled her eyes teasingly at him.

“As a matter of fact this isn’t the surprise,” Y/N corrected with a smile on her face as she sat down a began digging into her cake. It surprised Bonnie since she usually didn’t eat this much.

“Did you eat anything today,” Bonnie asked with a confused tone in his voice.

“Yes why,” Y/N questioned while looking up at him with her mouth filled with cake.

“Well it looks like you haven’t even eaten in years Dove,” Bonnie answered her question.

“Oh well you know I’m just very hungry today,” Y/N said while letting out a nervous laugh with a nervous smile as well as she prodded her food with her fork.

“Okay,” Bonnie sighed still confused by the whole situation.

“Ooo yay,” Y/N cheered with a smile on her face which Bonnie thought was gorgeous, and then Y/N got an idea. “Hey how ‘bout this we both say our surprises at the same time,” She grinned as she felt excitement rush through her veins as she jumped a bit.

“Of course dove,” Bonnie smiled at her excitedness. “Ok at the count of three. 1,2,3,” He counted.

“I’m pregnant,” “Marry me” They both announced at the same time as both of their surprises surprised each other.

“Wait you’re p-pregnant how’d that happen,” Bonnie stuttered a bit as he began to feel a bit nervous.

“Bonnie I’m pretty sure you know what happens between us,” Y/N teased with a smile on her face as she motioned her hand between them. “Are you happy about it,” She faltered a bit.

“Of course I am Dove I was just really surprised,” Bonnie reassured her while bringing her chair closer to his and put his hands on her cheeks feeling the warmth on them. “How’d you find out,” He asked with a curious look on his face.

“Well it was few days ago when Polly Gray grabbed one of my tits and told me I was pregnant I then went to the doctors to see if it was true,” Y/N explained with a smile on her face the whole time she was explaining.

“You don’t know how happy I am Love,” Bonnie whispered against her lips.

She brought her lips to his and began kissing him. She wrapped her hands around his neck playing with the hair on the back of his head. As they continued to kiss Bonnie could taste the chocolate on in her mouth which made him smile into the kiss

“You taste like chocolate,” Bonnie whispered against her lips as they separated. Y/N giggled against feeling happy.

“Yes,” Y/N grinned with a huge smile on her face.

“Yes what?” Bonnie questioned with a confused look on his face.

“Yes I’ll marry you.”
