going off that ask about tumblr inside jokes, i kinda want to see if we can make a list or something. i want to know how many i understand. so like for you what would someone say that would make you think 'ah its a tumblr 5sos fan'?
This is a good question! The ones already mentioned are a great start...
Inside jokes are kind of subjective because they can range from basic references (Is it balsamic?) to absurdly specific and possibly only popular among your friend group (Not fucking back in the day, RECENTLY) so I went more with points of discussion where if I heard someone mention it, it would make me 👀:
- Ashton = Daddy (a timeless topic, really)
- Calum = Oral King
- Cashton = Soulmates
- Protect Michael at all costs
- Luke wearing makeup (specifically that video during release week but really ANY time, we're not picky)
- If you remember [insert basically any event pre-Youngblood] you deserve a veteran's discount
- If More ever gets taken off the setlist we all unstan
- Whether or not Easier has rights (ps it does)
- What happened to the MYT tour diaries?
- WHERE IS ASHTON SPEAKS TO MICHAEL??
- You wanna fuckin scream for me? / Yes Sir
- Is SGFG actually their best album or are we just nostalgic: an exercise in Hot Takes
- Ashton with This Haircut
- Duke. That's it. He's just our collective doggo.

Are you seeing this? This is the most beautiful sunset I’ve seen. I gotta get a shot of this-
Hey! Hey! I could help you take a picture with the sunset if you want to!
Oh! Would- Would you? That’d be great!
Of course! 
...
Here. Is it alright?
Yeah, yeah, it’s cool! Thank you so much!
Are you recording something? Is it a- Are you vlogging? Are you a vlogger?
Yeah, no... I’m actually on a solo trip for a bit.
Oh, where are you from?
Just the next state. 
Ah! You’re taking a break off... life then? I assume? Sorry if that came out weird.
No! No no! It’s alright! Yeah, I just needed a short break from... y’know, school and everything. My semester ended pretty early on so I took the chance to come out here and... see some new sights, meet some new people.
I get that. Well, for a start, what’s your name?
Oh, I’m y/n. Nice to meet you! And you?
I’m Eric.

It is the 4th of April, 2019. I know, I know, I’m meant to do a daily vlog for all the 50 days I’m here but... it’s been... wow. Um... so I met Eric, the first day I touched down. The beach is just, about a 10 minute walk down and the sunsets are absolutely gorgeous. But uh... call me a fool and say that I’m living in the clouds but- what are the chances?
He’s funny, he’s such a great person to be around with y’know? Never a moment of like, awkwardness or stress and my God, look at me talking about a boy like that, though I met him 2 days ago. 
...
Um, he’s a freelance model. For those freelance shoots by UNIQLO or Target or something and he complains about the pay sometimes, but he looks good infront of a camera, so he’s... actually the one who won at life, really.
I’m not seeing him soon because he’s got a shoot out of town and he’ll be back next week. But I did get his number and he’s been texting me since. 
...
Wouldn’t it be funny if we end up together and then I have this whackass of a reel to show him? Jesus... I need to stop getting ahead of myself here. Freakin’ living in the clouds, aren’t I?
...
Anyway, I’m gonna go and see if I can get my weird projector shit up and working. See you.

It is... 5am... uh, April 7th- and I was just binging FRIENDS through the night, waiting for the sunrise before I get some shut eye and then... Eric just asked me out. Oh my God! Um, he’s coming back this Thursday and I’ll go see him at the airport before we go get dinner.
It was really funny ‘cause he had to wake up early for a shoot today and so his day has just begun but mine’s coming to an end and I just- I’m rambling so much, it’s kinda- it’s kinda sad, isn’t it?
I think I’m too happy to sleep right now so I’m just gonna text him some more before the sun rises- oh! He replied!

Oh! Is that what you had-
Yeah! It’s the same camera!
What are you vlogging for, actually? Like-
Nothing, really. It’s just for my own usage-
Wait, you didn’t like set that up last night while we-
Oh, God, no! Who do you think I am?
I don’t know, I mean, we’ve known each other for... is it two weeks-
Just under two weeks-
Jeez-
I know, I know, oh my God.
...
I don’t regret it though. Yeah, like- I don’t really go down to the beach that often in the first place and it just- it just so happened that you were there that day and I saw you struggling with this old thing-
I was not struggling!
Yeah you were!
I wasn’t-
I’m kidding! Gosh, you’re so cute.

Are you gonna have the camera recording while this carries on?

Mm? What?
The kettle over on the counter. Careful, it’s hot. Yeah, thanks.
Do you need help with-
It’s just instant noodles, sweet. Doubt I need a diploma for this. You’re recording again?
Yeah, does it bother you?
No, no, ‘course not. Though that means I can’t really do whatever I want to now.
What does that mea-
...
I can... still taste that bit of milk tea you had just now-
Could you tell it’s zero sugar?
I don’t think that matters, it’s still sweet and not great for your health to have that so much.
Aw, and yet you’re the one who suggested noodles at this timing, yeah?
You were hungry too!
...
Here, it’s done. Help me get the bowls? 
Did you even wash these?
Yeah, I did. If you don’t trust me, you can run them under the water for a bit.
Mhm. Here.
If it’s not enough, we can call for Macs.
Y’know, I’ve never had Macs past midnight back at home.
What? Really? Well, when you get back in May, would you try?
Yeah, why not? Maybe I’ll do that when I’m back in school. 
...
What date is it today?
April... hold on, um, 17. Careful, that’s hot.
...
When are you leaving again?
May 22. 
Are you planning on coming back anytime soon after?
I don’t know. I have school to worry about and the only other time I can come back’s probably during winter break in November.
...
I won’t be around in November.
Mm? Why not?
I’m moving.
To where?
I’m not sure yet, but I need to move depending on whether I get it and where the shoot’s at.
Shoot? It’s a big project, huh?
Yeah, it’s- it’s a pretty big deal.

It is 12.40pm... April 21st, 2019. I’m finally back in my apartment after crashing at Eric’s for the last... 10 days? I think it was 10 days. My clothes were running out and I didn’t want to hike up his water bills so I just came back and- y’know did my own laundry.
...
Well, it’s- it’s been an absolute dream. The last thing I expected to... have, or meet? Here, is Eric. Um, but I know I’m probably going to regret this. Especially when May 22 comes. Uh... this is... it’s real bad. I mean, we’re great, y’know? But... it’s bad, because I know it’ll hurt. Like a bitch. When my time here is up, and I gotta go back to my reality, and Eric’s gotta stick to his. 
We haven’t really talked about it. May. I don’t think he wants to, and I don’t think I want to either. 50 days is too short. Either that, or I shouldn’t have come here in the first place. I shouldn’t have gone to the beach that day, in that hour. 
...
I just wish we had more time. I wish 24 hours were... maybe about 100 seconds more per minute. Does that make sense? 160 seconds per minute. Then again, I don’t think that’d solve my problem. I’ll still be on a ticking... time bomb. 
...
I know I shouldn’t say this. I know I can’t. I know I can’t afford to. But... I... I love him. I love Eric. With every... bit of me. It’s so... disgustingly cliché, but I feel so... comfortable with him. There’s really nothing we’d fight about, and even if we disagreed on something, we’d play it off like a debate, then forget about it the next day.
...
I love him. I do. And I’m going to regret this later. Without a doubt.

Yeah, maybe if I just turn this ISO- Oh! I can kinda see the North Star-
Oh! Yeah, you can! It’s really feint though.
Right.
It’s okay, we can just lay it down here-
On the grass? Will your camera be fine?
Yeah, yeah, or else you can just put in on top of my bag- here.

Yeah, you’re in frame.
Okay, great. Now get over here!

So, Eric’s in shoot right now and I’m on the way into the studio with some donuts and coffee to surprise him. I called his manager and asked if it was okay so- I’m pretty psyched to see his workspace. 
...
Hi, I’m y/n, I’m here to visit Eric?
Ah, okay! Hold on, let me just get you signed in with the pass-
Count me in!
You sure? This Saturday at the prep-party?
Yeah- Oh! 
Eric!
y/n! What are you doing here?
I wanted to surprise you. Am I... interrupting anything?
Oh, not at all!
You must be y/n! Eric’s told me so much about you!
Did he? And you are...?
I’m Chelsea! I’ve been attached to the same Calvin Klein contract he recently got, so you could say we’re colleagues!
Well, nice to meet you! Oh, right, these donuts and coffee are meant for you guys actually!
Oh! You’re too kind! Eric, you’re such a lucky man.
I know, she’s just... everything.
Anyway, thank you so much for these. I’ll bring them back down to the studio for the crew to share. But Eric’s pretty much done for the day actually, so you guys can leave if you want to!
Are you sure? Don’t you need help downstairs with the equipment?
No, no! It’s fine, there’re more than enough people downstairs. Go have your date, and maybe you can bring her along with you for the prep-party this weekend!
What’s the prep-party... preparing for?
Oh, you’re so adorable! It’s a prep-party for the end-of-May shoot we’re gonna have. it’s a collab with DAZED so it’s a pretty big project.
You never told me you were involved in a collab with DAZED.
I was gonna tell you today.
He has been pretty busy recently, maybe slipped his mind. Anyway, thank you so much for the donuts and I’ll hope to see you at the pier this Saturday, mm?
Yeah, sure. Thanks Chels.
No problem! It was so nice to meet you, y/n, I’ll see you Saturday!
Okay, bye!
Bye, Chelsea! It was nice to meet you!
Bye!
...
Sweet, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?
I wanted it to be a surprise. I thought you said you’d end pretty late?
The filming was cut short because the shots were better than expected so we ended early.
Oh, I wanted to film you while you were at work.
You have that on?
Yeah- why?
No, just wondering. 
Are you uncomfortable?
No, no, it’s just... I really didn’t expect you to come to the studio.

I left. I couldn’t watch it. So, I left without telling Eric. I did tell his boss that I wasn’t feeling well and I had to leave first.

I guess this is the part where I regret it, isn’t it? Um... I don’t know... how... I’m gonna explain this to him when I see him again. Which is supposed to be- um- the rest of the night. I was supposed to go back to his place with him and I’ll stay for the weekend before I come back to pack my things, so-

It’s May 19th, 2019, almost 10am. I just came back from a morning walk by the beach just to... reminisce a little before I leave on Wednesday.

I... haven’t seen Eric since the prep-party. I blocked him and I told him not to come over, though I think he has, like, a few times. I thought I heard someone come up to my door, but he never knocked. 
...
So, this is how it ends, huh? A 50-day romance cut short like that. Into about, 40? 
...
It’s crazy to think that I had... the experience of a whole relationship in 40 days. I definitely did not sign up for that when I booked this 50-day retreat.

It was fun while it lasted, though. It was. I don’t think I’d find anybody else like Eric, and I guess it just sucks that it had to end like that. Things happen, right? That aren’t... in our control.

I don’t- I just don’t think I’d have the heart to throw them away.

Nor look at them when I’m home.

Should I even bring this camera home? Maybe I should wipe your memory before I bring you home, hmm?

Wow, this is... weird. How did you do this last year?

Um, hi. y/n. If you’re watching this then I’ve somehow managed to get this synced into your camera by some weird... bluetooth, iCloud shit that Felix helped me figure out. 
...
It’s been a year. And... I just thought you should... see this, or hear me out, at least. I know we didn’t end on the best terms... and I’m sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have yelled at you for being unreasonable for something that was... suspicious. I should’ve understood.

I should’ve been there. To see you off. And I’m sorry I didn’t. I... was scared, that I wouldn’t be able to let you go if I went to send you off. I was a coward. I still am.

But I do want you to know that... those 50 days were the best days of my life. Albeit it ended horribly, but nothing could... nothing- nothing will ever replace what happened last April.

I said I love you and... I still do. Every day I think about you and your smile and your voice and- and I cry to sleep... worrying that I’d forget how you sound like, or how you laugh and how... how you smell like. My bed smelt like you even after you left.

the clip comes to an automatic stop. the white triangle slapped onto the screen, begging you to play it again. you look up from the screen, watching the famous calvin klein ad that hasn’t stopped playing in the last month. 
he hasn’t changed one bit. not his hair, not his smile, not his voice. 
it’s a bittersweet pot of memory stashed in the back of your head when the memories flood back. looking back down at the camera, you count back the days - it was synced just last night. 
the pile of tissues by your thighs are carelessly huddled into the bin next to your feet, mentally berating yourself for going through the memory instead of formatting it. 
you stand, fingers shutting the screen back onto its body with a soft click. the tv blacks out when you press the red button on its remote. 
you’re halfway into your kitchen when there’s a knock at your door, and you immediately gasp, blinking rapidly.
“oh, it’s my fucking projector!”
rushing to the door, you don’t hesitate to get the door open. 
and yet, like the heavens were providing you with all the light to stop you from doubting yourself, your lungs empty themselves like vacuums. 
your heart stops.
your breathing stops.
“eric... what are you doing here?”

How are you doing today? It’s only 2:14AM, but so far I’m doing okay cause my dudes I’m doing this survey in MY bed in MY room at MY house. Basically what I’m saying is that I’m finally homeeeeee. What is the last song you listened to in a car? I don’t recall.  Do you like prefer apple cider warm or cold? Definitely much better when it’s hot.  When did you last feel misunderstood? I feel that way a lot. I have a hard time expressing myself and putting my feelings into words. It never seems to come out quite right. Have you ever visited The Louvre or would you like to? I don’t even know what that is. 
Have you ever accidentally locked yourself out of your place of residence? Yes. Do you remember your favorite songs as a kid? The popular stuff of the 90s, basically.  Do you currently feel calm? I’m feeling a little more relaxed now that my paid medication is kicking in.  When did you last lace up a pair of shoes? Back in May on my way to the hospital.  What's your go to comfort meal? It used to be ramen, but I haven’t had it in several months. Like, probably not since the beginning of this year. I used to have it literally every single night. At the beginning of this year my health got even worse and it was becoming difficult to eat. Do you enjoy cloud watching? It’s not something I do.  Do you currently have any candles lit? No. If applicable, what's your favorite sports team? None. I have no interest in sports.  How many cardigans do you own? Zero.  How much is too much for clothes? (I am mad at myself over purchasing a $30 cardigan lol) I actually have carts on a few different websites with clothes I want, but the total of each one is so much for not even a lot of stuff. I’m having a hard time taking anything out of my cart or taking the plunge and just treat myself. Some of the stuff I feel is definitely overpriced, but I really like them.  How soon do you normally decorate for holidays? I’m ready to start putting up Halloween decorations now to be honest, but I’ll start sometime early on next month. As for Christmas, I’d be down to start in the beginning of November, but I tend to wait until the day after Thanksgiving. Perhaps I’ll do it earlier this year as well. I had a rough past few months and the holidays bring me some joy. I’d love to go crazy and get a shit ton of decorations.  Are there any important things happening this week? Just resting for the rest of the week, but next week I already have a few follow-up appointments. One of them is that swallow test I mentioned in other surveys that will determine what I can eat and drink. I was hoping to get it done before I came home, but they weren’t able to squeeze me in. I’m only able to sip on liquids with this thickening powder I have to add to it and with a spoon. I’m looking forward to finally having some coffee.  Do you know anyone who is terrified of dogs? I don’t think so.  What scent was the last soap you used? Caress body soap scent, ha. I’m not sure what the scent is exactly, it just smells... clean.  How old were you when you made your first big purchase? 19. I bought my first MacBook, which was super expensive. What last made you angry? I was irritated that I couldn’t get that test done.  What's a color you think is underrated? I don’t know.  What are you usually doing when midnight comes around and you can't sleep? I’m always up past midnight for that reason and I just scroll through Tumblr and listen to ASMR. What is your favorite way to eat rice? (white, steamed, fried, brown, sweetened...) I like fried rice.  What color is the top you're wearing? I’m wearing a blue nightgown with white flowers all over it. Finally wearing something other than that damn hospital gown. When did you last laugh so hard you cried? It’s been a very long time since I’ve laughed that hard. I don’t even remember the last time.  What's your favorite horror movie? I have several, but among the top of the list are the Halloween, Scream, and It movies.  What's your favorite and least favorite fast food restaurant? I like Jack in the Box, Carl’s Jr, Chick-Fil-A, Raising Canes, and Taco Bell. My least favorite is Wendy’s.  How many pictures can you see in the room you're in? I have several on my walls.  When did you last sign your signature? Yesterday when I filling out discharge papers.  What cover do you think is better than the original song? Adele’s cover of George Michael’s Fast Love is SO good. It was a beautiful tribute to him that she did after he passed away.  Are you currently listening to music? No, I’m listening to ASMR. What do your favorite pair of pajamas look like? I like wearing my t-shirt dresses or gowns the most cause they’re super comfortable and easy to just throw on real quick.  What is something you've been working on? Trying to get better. I have a lot of work to do and I need to be putting in more work and effort.  What's something that excites you about the future? I’m just taking things day by day right now. How often do you drink smoothies? I rarely drink smoothies, but I might start drinking them more often.  What's a TV show you have gotten into recently? So many. I’ve binged several shows during my time in the hospital. One of the new ones I started is Daredevil.  Have you ever had to have a tooth cut out? No. Gah, that sounds awful. When did you last rush for something? I don’t know. How many blankets do you own? A few.  Have you drank enough water today? It’s hard when you can only drink a little and have to do so by spoonfuls. Thankfully, though, I get water through the feeding tube when getting meds and the feeding formula.  Do you prefer apple pie or pecan pie? I’m not a pie person. What color takes up most of your wardrobe? Black.  What makes you feel alive? I haven’t felt alive in a very long time... Who is your last missed call from? Unknown number.  Do you have any unusual pet peeves? I can’t stand the sound of ice clanking against a glass.  What is a food you think is nasty that most people enjoy? Sushi. All seafood, actually.  Would you rather never be sick again or be rich? Having the option of never being sick again sounds really nice, especially for someone like me who has chronic illnesses and health issues, but being rich is a tempting option as well. Honestly, though, I’d go with never being sick. I’m so beyond sick and tired of dealing with all this.

Pairing - Sungchan x Reader
Genre - Horror/Thriller, Angst, Fluff
Warnings - serial killer, character death, violence, murder, implications of sex
Summary - A murderer is on the loose, killing with no regret and ending the lives of more than just a few people. No one knew who it was, turning against each other upon even the slightest bit of doubt. Maybe you should’ve been more careful with who you chose to trust. 
Word Count - 5.3k
A/N - this is inspired entirely from a dream I had a few days ago. I've added very little to what I saw in my dream aside from Sungchan as the male lead. yes, I am freaked out by this and yes, I am scared of writing for Sungchan bc I don’t know his personality all too well but as an ‘01 liner myself I have faith in us
Written for the #NeoHalloween writing festival hosted by @nct-writers​. Check out the masterlist here.
Tumblr media
For five months now, your town has lived in fear. A serial killer was on the loose and he was known by the name of Hickleback Jack though no one knew where the name came from or who had started it. Each month, the population of your town voted on the local community board to have one person executed who they thought was Hickleback Jack. So far, not a single guess was right leaving five innocent people dead. Well, five plus an extra thirty, give or take.
See, the thing about Hickleback Jack, was that every time the votes came in at the end of the month, he could see just who voted for him and targeted them as his next victims. He killed six of those people over the following month, adding up to seven dead each time the town guessed incorrectly. It was getting to a point where no one trusted each other, no one dared to say anything against each other in fear of being accused or in fear of being the next to fall mercy to Hickleback Jack.
Not much was known about this killer other than his appearance. He’s male with a tall and broad figure though he always covers his face with some kind of mask. His common weapon is known to be an axe. People have claimed to have seen him late at night under the dim orange glow of the street lamps but he was never caught by the authorities, leaving everyone restless and waiting for the next kill.
Tumblr media
The night was still young when you had gotten home from school and it was a Friday night which was basically an open invitation for you to call over your boyfriend, Sungchan. He had transferred in to your university at the start of the school year, and had ended up sitting next to you during your sophomore seminar class, leading to the start of your friendship with him.
A simple friendship soon blossomed into a relationship after Sungchan’s bright personality began shining through his somewhat intimidating exterior. You lived without fear when Sungchan was around, the love you had for him blocking out anything else in the world that wasn’t him.
You sat on your bed, your homework spread out in front of you while you held your phone up to your ear. “Do you want to come over tonight?” You ask as soon as he picks up your call.
You hear rustling on the other end of the call before Sungchan clears his throat and speaks, his voice husky from sleep. “Sorry, can you repeat that?”
“I said, do you want to come over tonight?” You paused and heard him yawn. “You fell asleep after class didn’t you?” You smiled to yourself thinking of your boyfriend’s handsome face as he napped after getting back to his apartment once he finished with his classes for the day, which was a common occurrence now that the semester was in full swing.
“Mmm,” he hummed in thought, “as much as I’d love to, I really shouldn’t have taken that nap because of how much homework I have.”
“Oh, that’s okay, do your homework first,” you reassure him, “maybe we can hang out some other time this weekend. It’s only Friday after all.”
“Definitely. Are you starting yours right now?” Sungchan asked.
“Yeah, I’d rather not wait and end up cramming on Sunday night.” You laughed, knowing that said event has happened more times that you’d like to admit.
Sungchan let out a noise of agreement. “I’ll let you know when I’m done with my homework though.”
“Same here.” You promised.
“Alright, let’s get to work and I’ll talk to you soon.” He told you.
“Sounds good, love you.”
“Love you too.”
With that you hung up, eager to start on your homework in hopes of getting to spend more time with your boyfriend. You actually had a lot of it this weekend thanks to molecular biology, and you figured that if you couldn’t talk to Sungchan, who had yet to take the course, you called up your study group discord instead. Luckily, many of them were in similar situations as you, faced with the daunting task of completing all the worksheets assigned during class earlier in the day.
“Okay so was anyone paying attention during the lecture today?” Your classmate Chenle asked.
“I know Yeji fell asleep so you’re in the same boat as her.” You interject, recalling the sight of both of them knocked out in their seats as the professor droned on about the functions of the structures inside cells.
Yeji let out a gasp of shock at how blatantly you called her out. “I may have fallen asleep but at least I still know that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.”
“Everyone knows that, Yeji.” Your other classmate Jaemin said, his voice void of enthusiasm.
“Okay, Jaemin, we get it, Mr. Serious.” You teased.
“Yeah, this is a biology study group, not a bible study group, lighten up a little.” Chenle jokes.
Jaemin scoffed, “sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who’s trying to do well in this class.”
“Well not all of us enjoy the taste of coffee with six shots of caffeine in them.” Yeji argued back.
“Guys,” you called out as Jaemin and Yeji started arguing, “guys!” They finally stopped to hear what you had to say. “Let’s just get this over with sooner rather than later because I know none of us want to be awake at 2am trying to figure this out alone.”
“Agreed,” Chenle said, “so question three, the one about the DNA mutation, how is missense different from nonsense?”
“Missense is where one of the bases mutates and changes to something else, therefore changing the protein level,” Jaemin explained, “nonsense is the same theoretical concept except it spells out one of the stop codes.”
Yeji let out a groan, “can you slow down, or like, I don’t know, use easier words or something?”
Most of your night passed by like this and before you knew it, it was already nearing midnight and you could tell your classmates were just as exhausted as you. “I think we should call it here.”
“Definitely,” Yeji confirmed, “tomorrow morning at 10?”
You all let out similar answers of acknowledgement before Chenle spoke up. “The poll closes on tomorrow night so make sure to vote if you haven’t already.”
Because of how long this has been going on for, everyone was already on the same page once someone mentioned the poll or voting. “There were only five kills this month so I wouldn’t be surprised if the last one is announced tomorrow or Sunday morning.” Jaemin chimed in.
“All the recent kills were related to the university so I know a lot of people are suspecting someone in our age range.” Yeji informed the group.
Jaemin let out a chuckle, “if the killer actually is a college student, I wouldn’t be surprised since it is getting close to the last wave of midterms and then finals so that would explain why the victims fall into the same category.” The chat fell silent at that. “I’m just saying that he’s getting a little lazy by grouping all his kills like this.”
“Jaemin, are you sure you’re not the killer?” Chenle asked with a laugh at the end.
“Guys, I can promise you that I’m not the killer, I swear on my life.” Jaemin promised.
“Alright, that’s enough detective work for tonight, I’ll start the call again around 10 tomorrow. Sounds good?” You conclude, wanting to curl up under your covers already, which is exactly what you do once everyone wishes each other a good night and hung up.  
Tumblr media
Morning came a little too quickly for your liking, the bright sunlight flooding into your room through the window and forcing you awake. Checking your phone, you saw that it was 9:30am, meaning you had some time to spare before your next meeting with the bio study group, along with a notification from Sungchan that he had sent well after you had fallen asleep.
Sungchan > y/n
2:14am: Just got rescheduled to work opening shift tomorrow.
2:15am: Didn’t finish my homework but I can stop by at your house after work with my stuff and we can hang out and have fun once we’re both done?
Your heart warmed at how he stayed up late trying to finish his homework for you and that he suggested the idea of coming over after his shift at a small local restaurant finished just so the two of you could be together even if you’d be focusing on your own tasks for a while.
y/n > Sungchan
9:32am: Sorry I didn’t text back earlier, I just woke up!
9:32am: But of course you can come over, I might even be done with my work by then ;)
You plugged your phone to let it charge and left it on your nightstand as you made yourself breakfast downstairs. The house was quiet since your mom already left for work and you dad worked a night shift job and was probably sleeping at the moment. It was strangely serene as you prepared yourself a bowl of cereal though the calm was rudely interrupted by the sound of your ringtone coming from your room.
Deciding to get it after eating breakfast, you poured the cereal in first, thinking about the way Sungchan had told you before that he liked to pour the milk first and let the cereal soak up the milk. “It makes it super soggy and I like it.” He tried reasoning with you, to which you only raised an eyebrow at.
Just as you put the milk carton back into the refrigerator and was about to take a bit of your cereal, your phone started going off again. You placed your bowl onto the kitchen table and made your way back up to your bedroom to see what it was that was so important this early in the morning. Checking the notifications, it was Yeji who had been calling you so you shot her a message.
y/n > Yeji
9:39am: What’s up?
Yeji > y/n
9:40am: I just dreamt that it was Jaemin who was the killer
9:40am: please call me right now I feel like I’m going to go insane
You heeded her words and called her immediately. “So what happened in the dream?”
“I don’t know, I just remember being chased by a man with an axe and I was running to the school to try to see if I could get help but then I tripped and when I turned around, it was Jaemin.” Yeji blurted out without a single breath in between.
You paused, trying to take in all the information she just threw at you. “Do you have any reason as to why you think you dreamt this?”
“The way he was talking last night,” she stopped to catch her breath, “he spoke so in detail that I couldn’t help but overthink like, what if he is actually the killer? What if we’re next?”
“Well, you can vote for him in the poll if you want but personally, I don’t think it’s him.” You think of your next words carefully. “I’m not trying to invalidate your thoughts but Jaemin does come from a reputable family-”
“Y/n, it could be anyone. Family doesn’t matter. We have no information on the guy, we don’t know what economic class he’s in or anything.” Yeji interrupted.
You took a few seconds to gather your thoughts before speaking again. “That is true, but we all know Jaemin wants to be a surgeon right? He’s in all these difficult classes and he maintains such high grades-”
“Okay but how is that relevant?” Yeji interrupted yet again.
She was getting on your nerves but you held yourself back. “Listen, I’m just trying to say that with the amount of time and effort he puts into school, I don’t think he could be the killer. The killer plans his kills well enough that we just can’t find him and that probably takes just as much time as school does for us.”
Yeji took a while to respond though when she did, her words surprised you. “Now you’re starting to sound like the killer.”
“Yeji, I can promise you that it’s not me. I’m just as scared as you are in this whole situation,” you reasoned, “I’ll even vote for Jaemin if it makes you feel better.”
She let out a sigh across the line. “Okay fine. Maybe a kill will happen while we’re on the call and it’ll clear Jaemin’s name.”
“I think you’re letting it all get to you, just try not to think about it for a bit.” You advised.
“But am I really overreacting y/n? We live every day in fear of being the next victim. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us, so am I really overreacting?” You look over at the clock on your wall as she spoke, realizing that it’s already 9:55 and you should probably start the call already.
“No, I don’t think you’re overreacting, I’m just saying that constantly thinking about it to this extent isn’t good for you. We still have school to pay attention to,” you explain, “speaking of, I’m gonna start the call now.”
“I can’t just stop thinking about it that easily but whatever, let’s just hope that we’re not associating ourselves with a murderer by doing this.” You can only shake your head as you start the call.
Chenle joined immediately followed by Yeji. “Good morning ladies, President Zhong here. How are we doing on this fine day?”
You rolled your eyes even though a smile spread across your face. “I’m doing good, Mr. President. Ready to finish off these worksheets.”
“Good, good,” Chenle affirmed, sticking with his act, “and you, Miss Yeji?”
“Fine.” She shot out.
Chenle let out a quiet chuckle, “someone’s a little grumpy this morning. Maybe we should’ve met a bit later.”
“No, let’s just get this over with.” Yeji grumbled just as Jaemin joined.
“Great! Now that the head brain cell is here, let’s get this meeting started.” Chenle exclaimed.
Tumblr media
Four hours into your meeting and eight out of ten worksheets later, your phone begins to ring with an incoming call from Sungchan. “Hold on guys, I gotta take this call. Hello?”
“I’m downstairs, come pick me up.” You couldn’t deny the butterflies that spread throughout your chest upon hearing your boyfriend’s voice. You got up to let him in though you certainly didn’t miss the teasing coming from your laptop as your classmates yelled about you and Sungchan.
As you made your way downstairs, you froze halfway down the stairs, seeing Sungchan already in the kitchen eating the bowl of cereal you forgot about. “I’m guessing you made this for yourself earlier and forgot to eat it.” He said through a mouthful of food.
“Babe, no, don’t eat that, it’s like five hours old. The milk is probably stale.” You exclaimed, worried about his health if it really did go bad.
Sungchan only shrugged as he took another spoonful into his mouth. “Tastes fine to me.”
You rolled your eyes before turning to head back upstairs. “Join me in my room once you’re ready, you cereal monster. Leave the dishes in the sink too.” As you returned to your room, you couldn’t help but wonder how Sungchan got in though you figure he’s probably seen you use the spare key under the doormat a couple times since you often were too lazy to get your own keys out of your bag most of the time.
When you sat down in front of your computer again, Jaemin had just finished explaining the answer to the problem you guys were working on earlier so you chimed in asking him to go over it again though he was quickly overrun by an excited Chenle. “Is Sungchan there?” He practically yelled.
“No, not yet, he’s eating some soggy cereal downstairs.” You inform him.
“Alright, let me know when he comes in.” Chenle says, unphased by your boyfriends’ odd preference of cereal.
Halfway through Jaemin’s explanation, Sungchan came into your room, placing his bag down at the foot of the bed before he took his jacket off and stripped out of his work uniform. “I heard a door open, is that Sungchan?” Chenle shouted over Jaemin once more.
“I never get to fucking speak in this group.” Jaemin huffed, at which Chenle muttered a quick ‘sorry’ back.
“Yes, Chenle, Sungchan is here,” you announce, looking over at the boy in question who had just finished pulling a shirt over his head and winked when he saw you staring at his body, “he seems very flirty today, must be because of you, Mr. Zhong.”
Sungchan sits down next to you and places a kiss on your cheek, smelling oddly of cleaning supplies, but you pay no mind to that, figuring he must have used them at work. “How’s it going Chenle?” He asks, though his attention is only on you and he places his hands on your cheeks and leaves a quick kiss on your lips.
“I’m gonna pretend I didn’t just hear the two of you kissing,” Chenle remarks, earning a laugh from Sungchan, “but anyways, you should come back to the basketball team. We miss our giant point guard, you know.”
“Nah, I’m too busy these days. I already have work and school plus I still want to spend time with y/n.” He commented as he shifted to lie on his stomach next to you.
“Man, who knew a girl would be all it took to make this dude throw his love for basketball out the window.” Chenle taunted.
“Love makes you do things, you know how it is.” Sungchan replied, resting his head on your thigh.
Running a hand through his hair, “anyways,” you divert, “back to what Jaemin was saying about meiosis.”
“Thank you, y/n, I thought I’d never be able to speak again.” Jaemin uttered pointedly. “As I was saying, the main difference between meiosis and mitosis is that it creates four daughter cells instead of two like mitosis does.”
“Hey guys, wait, did you see the article that just came out?” Yeji inquired. “It’s another death.”
There was a moment of silence before anyone said anything. “No but you can read it to us.” Chenle concluded.
“Okay,” you could hear the deep breath Yeji took before reading the article, “it says here that the body was found at around 1:20pm in an alley between the lower-income housing apartments, the cause of death is assumed to be by Hickleback Jack using his axe, and the estimated time of death is anywhere from 12 to 1pm.”
“Wow,” Jaemin began, “so he just killed out in broad daylight.”
“Not gonna lie Jaemin, but I thought you were the killer.” Yeji let out blatantly.
You were mildly shocked at her bluntness, but not surprised given how stressed everyone was. “Me?” Jaemin gasped, “Yeji, you know I’m pretty much Rapunzel with how much time I spend in my room studying. And when I’m not studying, I’m either editing pictures or playing video games.”
“It’s true,” Chenle confirms, “he really doesn’t leave his room. We had a sleepover once and I felt like I was becoming a hermit like him.” Sungchan slightly wheezed at that, sending Chenle over the moon. “Did you hear that? Did you guys hear that? Sungchan thinks I’m funny!”
“Yeah yeah, enough about me being a hermit. But Yeji,” Jaemin addressed, “why did you think it was me?”
Yeji hesitated before responding. “I just- the way you were talking the other night...I don’t know. It just sounded so specific and detailed that I couldn’t help but think that it could have been you.”
“I don’t think a murderer would simply reveal his plans like that, you know.” Sungchan proposed.
“Well yeah, but it’s just the way he spoke, it was like he had things organized...you know what? Let’s forget I said that, but I know the four of us are clear.” Yeji resigned.
Sungchan sat up, “wait, why am I not cleared?”
“Y/n, what time did he call you?”
“Like 2-ish.”
“Exactly. Sungchan, you don’t have an alibi, as far as we know, until 2 and the time of death is stated to be 12 to 1pm.”
“I was at work earlier in the day, though.”
“Can you prove it to us?” Yeji pressed on.
“Yeah, my coworkers can vouch for me.”
You were quite surprised at how aggressive Yeji was being towards your boyfriend but you didn’t see any reason to stop her since she had very valid arguments. “Send a screenshot of it to Chenle and we’ll verify you from there.” Yeji commanded.
Sungchan slouched down a little next to you. “I don’t have the numbers of my coworkers though.”
“Alright, then you’re still on the list of suspects.”
Tumblr media
After finishing all the worksheets for microbio and ending the call around 3:30, Sungchan pulled out his laptop and started typing away at a half-finished lab report for his human A&P class. You fell asleep curled into his body, his warmth and the constant tapping of his keyboard lulling you to sleep.
When you woke again, you immediately noticed the absence of a large boy next to you and frowned to yourself. As you came to, you heard noise coming from the kitchen and identified your mother’s voice followed by Sungchan’s. Noticing the time on your phone, you guess that he was probably helping her prepare dinner since it was already past 6 and your family ate around 7 before your dad left for work.
By the time you made yourself presentable and came downstairs, your mom and Sungchan were already setting the table. “Looks like our sleepyhead finally woke up.” Your mother exclaimed, making you grimace. “You didn’t tell me Sungchan was staying over,” you were about to open your mouth to say that you didn’t know that either but you weren’t given the chance to do so, “it’s okay, especially with that killer still on the loose, it makes me feel better knowing there’s someone around to protect my baby.”
You looked at Sungchan as if asking him for answers though he seemed to only avoid your gaze, reluctantly taking the seat across from you at the dining table. Your father walked in, delighted to see your boyfriend. “Sungchan! Good to see you, how are things at school?” He asked as he joined you all at the table.
“Okay for the most part, I haven’t taken to my writing class all that much though I enjoy my other science classes.” Sungchan answers.
Your dad hums in approval while you stare down Sungchan, trying to get him to look at you. “Remind me again what you’re majoring in again?” Your mom asks, Sungchan whips his head around faster than you can make eye contact with him.
“I’m majoring in forensics.” He states.
“Interesting, interesting,” your father contemplates, “you know, y/n here wants to become a pediatrician. The two of you are practically opposites in the science field, one dealing with crime and the other dealing with children.”
Sungchan let out a laugh, “I guess opposites really do attract then.”
You hated how well he entertained your parents and you hated how much they liked him. For the rest of dinner you tried to pin him down through your stares and even played a game of footsie with him but nothing seemed to work. It was only once the two of you were back in your room getting ready for bed that you were able to talk to him.
“Look, I’m not mad at you or anything, I’d just appreciate it if you talked to me first before just telling my parents that you’re staying over.” You told him as you went through your skincare routine.
Sungchan jumped onto your bed as he apologized. “Sorry, I just thought that since both of us finished our homework and with the killing today, it would just make sense for me to stay over.” He opened his arms, inviting you in as you stood up after finishing your night routine.
You copied him, jumping into your bed straight onto Sungchan, effectively pushing the air out of his body. He grunted as your weight fell onto him though he still wrapped his arms around your waist and shifted you up the length of your body so your face was level with his. “Hi” you giggle, shy from the sudden close proximity.
“Hey.” He says back with a smile as you slide off him, leaving an arm and leg slung over his body. “Tired?”
“No, not really, I took a nap earlier since someone didn’t care to wake me up.”
“You looked too cute, besides, you need all the rest you can get.” Sungchan explained, using his free hand to squish your cheeks. “If you’re really not tired then I know a way to make you tired.” His hand found its way down to your butt to further emphasize his point.
“Ew, no, not now.” You quickly refused, moving his hand up to your waist. “Just go to sleep and I’ll probably fall asleep after you anyways.”
“Oh wait,” Sungchan said, reaching over you to the nightstand for his phone, “did you vote on the poll yet?”
“No, I almost forgot.” You groaned, lazily reaching for your phone as well.
You pull up the local community board and enter your information, looking at the list of all the citizens, pondering on who you’d give your vote to. “Who are you voting for?” Sungchan asks, looking over at your screen.
“I really don’t know.” You tell him, though truthfully, you had someone in mind.
Tumblr media
Thanks to the nap you had, you really couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard you tried. You ended up dozing off occasionally but you’d wake up half an hour later only more irritated than when you first fell asleep.
You don’t remember what time it was, but at some point, Sungchan had removed himself from your grasp, unaware that you were still awake, though you made no effort to stop him thinking that he was just going to use the restroom and come back. Five minutes passed, five minutes turned into ten, then twenty, and you decided to check on him once thirty minutes had passed.
The house was completely dark, not even the light from the bathroom was on. You checked inside in case Sungchan had maybe gotten hurt and passed out, but he was nowhere to be found. After searching almost all the rooms in your house, you had yet to find any sign of him. After a bit of thinking, you had wandered out to your mothers’ greenhouse thinking that maybe some time with the plants would help to calm your mind.
It did anything but that.
Not long after setting foot inside of the small shed, you heard screams coming from nearby, getting closer and closer. You watched from the inside of the tinted glass as three girls ran through your backyard and into the next property. You couldn’t help it that you were frozen to your core, knowing who was coming.
You saw his frame as he jumped over the fence from the other end of your yard, axe in hand, running through the open grass and you thought he might have noticed you until he stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes glued on you. You should’ve ducked down as soon as the girls ran past but it was too late now and there was no second way out of the greenhouse.
You knew you should have tried to run, maybe smash through the glass panelling but something in you told you that maybe, just maybe, you’d be able to stop him. Steeling your nerves as he crosses the threshold of the greenhouse, you call out to him. “I know who you are.”
“I’m well aware of that.”
It was as if your world was crumbling before you, the once so comfortable relationship you knew felt fake, even though Sungchan, your loving boyfriend stood right there. The only difference was that you knew who he really was.
“Why?” You start, “why did you kill all those innocent people?”
“It’s all for fun, y/n.”
“What do you mean ‘for fun’? Those are real people you know, people with families and friends who miss them dearly.” You nearly cry out as he continues to approach you.
“You see, life is a game.” He paused his words as he came to stand in front of you. “Laws are nothing but a social construct that us humans follow mindlessly until our own demise.”
He takes a step closer to you, but you stand your ground. “Laws are what keep us safe and keep us happy. They allow us to lead our lives peacefully with others-”
“They are nothing but limits.” He closes the distance between the two of you, an arm wrapping around your waist, pulling you towards him, and you allow him to do so. “My dear, sweet, y/n. If only you weren’t so smart, I wouldn’t be faced with this dilemma.”
“You wouldn’t kill me.” You were trying to persuade him just as much as you were to yourself. “You’d never.”
“Oh? And what makes you think that?”
“You love me.”
“I do, I love you so dearly, but now that you know who’s behind all the killings, there’s no way that I can let you go.” You felt his axe nudge the back of your leg as he brought both arms around you. To an outsider, it would look as if a couple were having a conversation, but for you, this was a fight for your life.
“Take off the mask.”
“Why should I?”
“So I can talk to you properly.”
He took off the mask without much more convincing, his normally handsome face now distorted by the crazed look in his eyes. People often say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and if they really were, then Sungchan didn’t have a soul.
“I swear to you that I won’t ever tell anyone about this, about you.”
“I don’t believe that you’ll keep that promise, my dear.”
“You know how much I love you. As long as we can stay together, I will not say anything.”
“This is not a tale of beauty and the beast. I am no beast to be tamed and there is no happy ending to this story.”
“Sungchan, no. You don’t mean that.”
“Do I really not mean it, or is that what you would like to believe? Something tells me it’s the latter.” He held you tight against him with one arm, the other raising his axe. “It’s truly a shame that your beauty must go to waste, you were truly a wonderful person both inside and out but I’m afraid that your life must end here.”
Before he could prep his swing, you pulled away and grabbed the nearest pot, launching it at him, the ceramic breaking against his head making dirt rain down upon both of you.
Not even a second passed before his axe was flying at you, lodging itself into your neck, nearly severing your head from your shoulder. You should’ve been thankful really, thankful that Sungchan had given you a quick death, not his usual route since it was so painless and easy for both the victim and the assailant.
He liked a struggle, but for you he made an exception out of love so that the last thing you’d see was him, your lover, before everything stopped.

As you crawled into bed, a feeling of satisfaction spread through you. He wanted to spend more time with you - that ought to be a good sign, right? “Maybe this could work out, after all,” was the last thing you thought before you fell asleep.
The next day was the usual whirlwind of events that occurred every shoot day - wake up early, take a cab over to the location (That particular day’s mystery place happened to be an old art studio), take another cab with some assigned lady to get you ready, another cab back to the location, then a whole day of photos. It was all a blur to you, so when the head of the whole operation thanked you at the end of the day, you were glad it was all over. Of course you adored your job, but considering the amount of sleep you’d gotten last night (Which, by the way, you did not regret one bit) you were thankful that in 45 minutes you’d be fast asleep.
What you did not expect, however, was for that little power nap to turn into a full 14 hours. By the time you woke up the next day, it was the crack of 11am. You sat up frantically, taking in your surroundings. You were still wearing your street clothes - jeans and a blouse - and a quick glance in the mirror revealed you hadn’t taken off your extravagant makeup, either. Trust me, it was not a pretty sight. You scrambled for your phone, and aside from all of the usual twitter notifications, DM requests, and messages from Ella and Harry (Which you were over the moon about), you noticed that you had 4 missed calls. From, none other than Harry.
You quickly clicked on his contact and dialed up his number. After a few rings, he picked up.
“Hi!” He said cheerfully.
“Hey,” you laughed. “Why did you call me? Four times, to be exact?”
“Just wanted to make sure we were still on for tonight. But then I got worried when you didn’t answer, so I called again to make sure everything was alright.”
“And again, and again.”
“Correct,” he laughed.
“Rough photoshoot. I was exhausted, and it wasn’t all that exciting. By the time I got home, I was asleep. Literally. I slept for 14 hours straight.”
Harry laughed so hard on the other end that you had to move your phone away from your ear for a couple of seconds so he could calm down. “Oh, wow, I... well, I guess it’s not that funny. That’s awful. You should’ve gotten more sleep the night before!”
“I would’ve, but somebody just had to message me at 3am!”
Cue another round of laughter. “Oh my god... look, I’m sorry, I really am! I didn’t know you had to wake up so early. I won’t message you so late into the night anymore, I promise.”
“Don’t promise that! I quite liked it. Besides, all of those shoots are the same. Nothing worth remembering, if you ask me.”
“Alright, alright, fine. But are we still on for later? If you’re still tired, we can reschedule...”
“No! After twice the amount of sleep I usually get, I feel like I could run a marathon. Seven?”
“Yup.”
“Okay. Gives me enough time to adjust myself to reality.”
This sent both of them into bouts of laughter.
“Alright, well, I’ve gotta go, but I’ll see you then?”
“You’ve got it! Bye!”
“Bye! And for the love of god try not to fall asleep this time, yeah?” He cracked himself up.
“I’ll try!” You replied as you hung up. You sighed, smiled, and then leaned against your headboard, though not for long. You had things to do - number one, get a shower.
Flash forward a few hours, and you were all set. You were wearing a pair of jeans and a blouse, similar to yesterday’s outfits, just with less smeared makeup and bedhead. You had even managed to listen to a few albums while you were doing your hair. You quickly ate a salad for supper, confirmed the meeting spot with Harry, then headed out the door.
You arrived 10 minutes early, and to your surprise, Harry was already there again. 
“How did you get here before me?” You laughed as you walked up to him. “I left even earlier than last time, specifically to race you!”
“Oh, I have my ways,” he grinned. “So, would you like to know what I have planned?” 
“Enlighten me,” you prompted as you began walking past the bushes and flowerbeds with him, admiring his bold, light purple flared pants and white top.
“Well, first we walk through the park. Then, I have a reservation booked for La Sedbe Hyudge. If that sounds okay to you, that is.”
La Sedbe Hyudge was one of the most exclusive clubs in New York. Reservations were crazy expensive, and that’s not including the price of the food and drinks.
“Oh, Harry, you really didn’t ha-”
“No, no, don’t worry about it. The reservation’s already made; there’s no turning back now,” he laughed.
You laughed along with him. “Well, we can just split the final bill.”
“No,”
“But-”
“Don’t worry about it!” 
You sighed. “Okay,” you finally agreed. “Well, anyways, tonight sounds like it will be great fun. Thank you.”
Harry nodded, looking around. You had to admit it, the scenery of the park was very nice. The gardener(s) here must be paid awfully well.
“So, I listened to Fine Line.”
Harry perked up. “Oh?”
“It was - and I’m not just saying this because I li- we’re friends - but it was incredible. I’ve never heard anything like it.”
Harry was trying to hide his smile, but he was failing miserably. “Well, that’s good,” he concluded nonchalantly. 
“No, really! I have Golden stuck in my head. It’s beautiful. And don’t even get me started on Lights Up.”
“You didn’t see the music video, did you?”
“..Yeah?”
“Oh, wow.”
“It was ARTSY!” You laughed, Harry clearly getting embarrassed. “No, in all honestly, it was great.”
“Well, I’m glad you think that,” he smiled. “I wish I could say the same to you, but you don’t sing, obviously.”
“Not my forte, honestly. I was in choir in elementary, but that’s pretty much it. Never really had any interest in the preforming arts. No offense.”
“None taken. I’ve always liked singing, but I didn’t think I’d pursue it as a career. I was very happy at my old job, thank you very much.”
“What was your old job?”
“...”
“...”
“I used to work in a bakery.”
“No way!” “That’s adorable,” you thought as the two of you rounded a corner of the path.
“Yes way! Not to brag, but I was very good at making cinnamon rolls.”
“Now, isn’t that something.”
“That’s not all - macaroons.”
“Oh my god, marry me.”
You continued goofing off for the rest of the walk. You talked about Netflix shows and whether Summer or Winter was the superior season in the taxi, and the best way to make Kraft dinner on the sidewalk. By the time you walked into the restaurant and sat down, you were discussing the importance of a good facemask.
“I don’t know. I just can’t believe you do them.”
“I can’t believe you don’t.”
“Why should I?”
“Do you want me to go over the health benefits again?”
You sighed. “No. I just do not have the patience.”
“For me to explain it again or facemasks in general?”
You smiled. “Both.”
Harry laughed rather loudly, gaining a few odd looks from some stuck-up diners. “You’re lucky you’re cute, y/n.”
Before you could respond, a waiter walked over to your table. “And what could I get for the couple this evening?” He asked.
You and Harry looked at eachother and tried to supress laughter.
“Well, I don’t know about my husband here,” you start, looking over at Harry with a grin. He’s staring back at you and you are positive that he’s gonna blow it at any second, but you decide to keep going, “But I’ll have a glass of red wine.”
“Whatever you want, dear, so I guess I’m driving,” Harry shrugged. “I will have water, please.”
The waiter nodded. “I’ll be right back.”
 As soon as he was out of earshot, the two of you burst out laughing.
“That.. was.... amazing!” Said Harry between laughs.
“I know right!” You agreed. “We have to keep it going all night.”
“YES,” he nodded as a group of teenage girls walked past the table, also laughing uncontrollably.
Then, the waiter returned. “For the lady,” he said as he placed down a glass of  wine. You immediately picked it up and took a sip. 
“For the main course, I’ll have the steak, please,” said Harry in his very-best fancy voice.
“I too,” you said, giggling and taking another sip.
The waiter nodded and headed back to the kitchen. The two of you laughed again. 
Just then, you felt your phone buzz in your purse. “It’s probably nothing,” you thought, choosing to ignore it. But then it went off again. And again. And again.
“You should probably get that,” said Harry, looking at your bag.
“Nah, it’s probably nothing.”
“Alright. I gotta run to he bathroom, and then I’m gonna order a drink for myself, okay?”
“Okay,” you said as you watched him get up. “Bring me back a glass too!”
You watched him walk over to the mens room. Your phone buzzed. He pushed open the door. Your phone buzzed. The door shut behind him. You reached down and pulled out your phone.
Ella: Oh my god
Ella: Y/n
Ella: Where are you right now
Ella: Are you with anybody?
Ella: ?????
Ella: Y/N
Ella: CHECK UR PHONE
You quickly typed up a response, although you were confused as to why she was so worried all of a sudden.
Y/n: I’m at the Sedbe Hyudge with Harry, why?
Ella: *Sent a set of photos*
Ella: Check twitter for more.
You clicked on the photos. The first was a screenshot of an update account, saying that you and Harry were in the park. Then, another tweet from the same account, saying you were at this restaurant. Then, photos of you in the park. And then, photos of you at the restaurant. Under that were screenshots of twitter users.
@Cocopopstyles: I just want Harry to take me on a date like he does with y/n, is that TOO MUCH TO ASK. They’re TOO CUTE.
@Y/nxxxxstyles: ANOTHER WIN FOR THE SHIPPERS THEY’RE AT THE SEDBE HYUDGE DHHHVDHBDCHUDB YES
@HSDaily: Ew lmfao she’s so ugly PLS 
@Stylessssmaple: “I ain’t saying she’s a golddigger, but she ain’t messing with no broke....”
@LaylaHoran: I heard that they were talking to the waiter like they’re an actual couple. A few girls overheard it, idk their @’s tho.
@LarryStylinsonobvs replying to @LaylaHoran: Really?? Omg that’s pretty quick tbh. Weren’t they first seen together days ago?
@LaylaHoran replying to @LarryStylisonobvs: Yeah apparently. Idk what’s going on. Is she a PR stunt or not???
@LarryStylinsonobvs replying to @LaylaHoran: Not to be a bluegreener but she could be a beard... we’ve gotten so much content from them in the past 72 hours like.... are u gonna tell me there’s no contract in there at all?????
@Y/nsflowers: Y/n looks so good in the new pap photos pLEASE MARRY ME MA’AM.
@Y/L/Nsummertime: Y/n is over lmfao can she please cut the bullshit. Wbk she’s in it for the money. The job, the PR stunts, the boyfriend...
@TheDailyPoolsideNews: Model y/n and ex-boyband star spotted out in the town! Will this be the next Hollywood snoozefest?
There was more, but Harry was already back at the table, carrying two glasses and setting them down, smiling. All of a sudden, you had this really sick feeling. You couldn’t look him in the eyes. You took your drink as he sat down. Not wanting to say anything in case it ruined the night, you took a sip and put your phone back in your purse.
“Everything alright?”
You looked up. “Yeah.”
Harry stared at you. You stared back jokingly, trying to break the tension. Harry’s phone started ringing. “Oops,” he frowned, “thought I turned this off...”
“You can take it, it’s okay. I checked my phone before. Plus, I need to use the washroom.”
“Okay,” he smiled as you stood up, smiling back. As you were walking away, you heard him talking to whoever was on the other end of the line. “Hey, Nial- what? No, I am, why-”
You pushed into the womens room and locked yourself in a stall. “What the hell is going on?”
You sit there for a few minutes, trying to collect your thoughts and give Harry some time to finish his conversation. Someone had seen the two of you at the park and in the restaurant, so what? Some people liked you, and some people didn’t. Okay, that’s understandable. Some people hated you. That’s fine, you don’t care. But people still think you and Harry are a PR stunt. This is only your second date! And it’s not eve a date! It’s just a... you put your head in your hands, then sit up, not wanting to smudge your mascara. You reach for your phone, only to remember you left it in your purse, which was currently on the floor next to your chair next to Harry. God.
And, to make matters worse, he had gotten a phonecall and from what you had heard when you were walking away, he sounded worried. Perfect! That was probably his management. Or, better yet, one of his friends doing the same thing Ella had done to you. Suddenly, you jumped up and walked back out to the table. He was fiddling around with his napkin. When he saw you, his face lit up. You didn’t buy it.
“Hi, sorry, it was just one of my friends. He wanted to t-”
“Oh, it’s fine,” you said, politely cutting him off.
Harry was taken back by this, but not for long. He wasn’t fazed easily. “Oh, okay. That’s good. Sorry for taking so long. Oh, and I don’t want this anymore, so if you want it, you can fill yours up. Otherwise, I’m just gonna give it to the waiter when he comes back.”
You never drank too much. You knew three glasses would be awful for you. But you took his and filled yours up, because “I don’t want to waste anything. This place is so expensive.”
Soon after, the waiter dropped off your meals. Harry was speaking less, more unsure of himself than before, but you didn’t notice. You made polite small talk, but it wasn’t like your antics from before. Yet when you were leaving, you did not split the bill. Harry still paid.
When you walked outside, it was dark. You hadn’t expected it. You laughed. Harry laughed. “Let’s wait over here for a taxi, yeah?”
You nodded and followed him. You sat on a bench. Harry messaged somebody. You swung your feet a little. Harry took a call. You stayed seated, watching people walk by. Harry came back over and helped you walk to the taxi, arm around your back. You tried to tell him you didn’t need his help, but he didn’t listen. 
Harry gave the taxi driver his address. You gave him yours, but he didn’t listen. You spoke up again, but Harry told you not to worry; you could spend the night with him. You nodded.
Harry helped you out of the taxi. You didn’t fight back. You tried to pay for the taxi, but he wouldn’t take your money. You held his hand as you walked through the doors of his apartment building, got in the elevator, got to his apartment. He sat you down on the couch and went off to his room. He came back shortly after.
“I don’t have any pyjamas for you.”
“Why would I need pyjamas?” You laughed a little, and then a lot.
Harry smiled. He went back to his room and came back with a shirt still wrapped in plastic and a bag.
“Here. The bathroom is over there. There’s makeup wipes on the counter.” He helped you up and you walked over. 
“Why do you have makeup wipes? Do you wear makeup?”
“Yep!” Said Harry. “Just turn the lock to the left. It’s tricky sometimes, try it a few times if it doesn’t work, yeah?”
“That’s so cool, can you show me your makeup sometime?”
“Yep! Maybe after you get your pyjamas on.”
“Really?”
“Mmhm!”
You shut the door and turned the lock, though you doubted you’d need it. You took off your fancy clothes and put on a pair of brand new too-big black sweatpants and a too-big pink t-shirt. Why did you need pyjamas again? Harry hadn’t answered. He wasn’t sending you home in pyjamas, was he? Uh oh.
You walked out. Harry was in the kitchen. “Do you need anything?”
“A drink.”
“Water?”
“Wine, dummy.” You cracked up at this.
“You’ve already had more than enough. C’mon, let’s go to the living room.” He grinned. 
“Whyyyyyy?”
Harry smiled patiently. “C’mon, y/n. We can watch a movie or something.”
“Okay. Wait - can I just have orange juice instead?”
“Of course.” He grabbed a can of juice and then walked into the living room. You followed. There were pillows and blankets on the couch, and Disney+ was set up.
“Ooou, fancy,” you laughed.
Harry crawled under the blankets. You did too. He laughed. So did you. Why were you even upset with him in the first place? You couldn’t remember. Harry grabbed the remote and turned on some show you’ve never heard of before. The Mandalorian, whatever that was. You leaned your head on Harry’s shoulder. It wasn’t even boring - why were you falling asleep? 
Harry closed his eyes - he was tired, too, but for different reasons. You listened to his breathing get slower. You held him tightly. You held him back. 
“Friends don’t hold friends that way,” you thought to yourself. “But who cares?”
You fell asleep. So did he.
You forgot about the stunt rumours. So did he.
He forgot about how his friend called him in a panic, not wanting this relationship to get ruined for him like the last one, and the one before that, and the one before that. About how he really, really liked you, but couldn’t act on it. He wanted to give you the world. Yes, he fell too quickly, too easily, but who could blame him?
And you forgot about Ella in the same panic. She didn’t want this to get ruined for you, of course, because this was your first shot, your first love (Although not that she’d know - you had to admit you had been a bit distant with her since you met Harry.) She didn’t want you to fall into the hands of the public eye. She wanted to make sure you were safe. She wasn’t sure if you should trust Harry, so of course she should be worried.
But you trusted him.
And he trusted you.
And everything is okay.
Until 3am.

Bad Ideas - Kakashi x Reader
I hope that you don't think I'm rude
But I want to make out with you
And I'm a little awkward, sure
But I could touch my face to yours, oh
  For the fourth time in the same amount of days, you found yourself ducking behind the nearest object as quick as you could in order to hide from someone. Not just anyone, though, you were hiding from the one and only Kakashi Hatake. You squeezed further into the doorway as Kakashi walked past your not-so-great hiding place hoping the long evening shadows would keep him from noticing you. Luckily he didn’t seem to, so you let out a long sigh of relief as you watched him round a corner further up the street. This couldn’t go on forever, you thought to yourself. Kakashi and you would end up working together again at some point, as was the nature of your jobs, and beyond that he was your friend, so this awkwardness you felt around him had to stop as soon as possible.
  And no one ever called me smooth
But I just wanna see the grooves
Between your hands, your teeth, oh
Tell me, do you think about me?
  You could not get the words Kakashi whispered to you the other day out of your head. It had been a long day of training with your respective teams so the two of you, along with Kurenai, Asuma, and Guy, decided to unwind a bit with some ramen and sake. It started off normal enough, with the five of you talking about your day, laughing when Guy challenged Kakashi to three different competitions, each one more ridiculous than the last, with nothing out of the ordinary happening. One by one your friends all left until it was just you and Kakashi left. He had drunk a bit more than usual, so you took it upon yourself to make sure he got home okay, not to say you didn’t think he could handle anything that could possibly happen ever if he was drunk. Regardless, the two of you walked towards his home together continuing the conversation from the ramen shop, words only dying out once you made it to his front door.
“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow Kakashi. Hopefully you don’t have too bad of a hangover in the morning,” you said. You moved to turn away, but immediately his hand shot out to grab your arm and stop you from leaving.
“Wait, Y/N, don’t go yet,” Kakashi said, his words slurring together just the slightest bit. You turned back to face him and were about to ask why he wanted you to stay, but before you could, you were suddenly wrapped up in his arms in a very un-Kakashi bear hug.
“Kakashi, what- what are you doing?” you stuttered out, confused. He mumbled something into your neck, the movement tickling you. “I can’t understand what you’re saying,” you said through a giggle. He pulled away so you could see his face, but still held you in his arms. The intensity of his eyes looking into yours made you shudder.
“You’re so beautiful, can I kiss you?” he repeated in a whisper. You tried to respond but it took you a few tries before any actual words came out.
“Kakashi, I- you’re drunk, you don’t mean that.” 
“I may be drunk, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think you’re beautiful right now. I’ve always thought you were beautiful, and you’ve only grown more so each day that I’ve known you.” He paused for a moment just looking at you, then opened his mouth as if he were going to say something else, but no words came out. You turned away from him to try and hide the blush that had creeped its way across your face. His grip tightened around your wrist in an attempt to keep you from leaving, but you panicked and ran down the road, not knowing what else you could or should do in this unexpected situation.
  I just wanna kiss you
And even if I miss you
At least I'll know what it's like to have held your hand, oh
  After your near-run in with Kakashi, you walked home, shoulders slumped and feeling dejected. Why did he have to go and say those things? Sure you thought Kakashi was handsome, but your mind never wandered further than that before. Now it took all you had to stop thinking about what would feel like for him to kiss you, your hands tangled up in his wild hair while his held onto your waist. You knew it could never happen because there was a chance it could ruin your friendship and your working relationship, and you could not put your personal feelings above your duty to the village. Despite this, you let yourself indulge in these daydreams more often than you probably should. More than once you found yourself thinking about his mouth on yours when you had more important things going on.
  Bad ideas
I know where they lead
But I got too many to sleep
And I can't get enough, no
I wanna kiss you standing up
And if tomorrow makes me low
Well it'd be worth it just to know
'Cause I can't get enough, no
I wanna kiss you standing up
  After staring at the wall for what seemed like ages, you groaned and sat up in bed to take a look at the clock. It read 2:14am. For hours you just tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and you still had so much more of the night to go. You cursed the man whose silver hair and mismatched eyes you saw every time you closed your eyes. If he was going to occupy your mind at night, the least he could do is be in your dreams, rather than keeping you awake. You rolled over and pulled your pillow over your head as if that could block out the incessant thoughts, subconsciously leaving enough room for another person to fit in bed with you. You didn’t know how long it took, but eventually you fell asleep, though not quickly enough to get enough rest for the next day.
  I don't know what compels me
To do the very thing that fells me
I wake up, still high on you
But by the night, I'm crashing through, so
  You woke up to a summons from the Hokage to meet with her in her office, so you quickly got dressed and headed over to the Hokage Residence, running into Asuma and Kurenai on the way. They had recieved summons as well. When you all arrived Tsunade was sitting at her desk and to your surprise, Kakashi and Guy were standing in front of the desk. Guy seemed to be saying something to Kakashi, but the second you walked through the door it became apparent that Kakashi had stopped listening to him. He seemed as if he was going to take a step towards you but hesitated and instead turned to face Tsunade. The rest of you lined up to face her as well.
“Thank you all for getting here so quickly; I know my message came on very short notice,” Tsunade began. “I have a mission for some of you, and whoever does not go on this mission I would like to take over training of the others’ teams for the duration. Several shinobi from the Village Hidden in the Rocks have been seen camping just outside of our borders and while they haven’t done anything in the way of attacking our village yet, they also have not come to talk to me and that just doesn’t sit right. I would like some reconnaissance done to figure out what is going on. Kakashi and Guy have already volunteered to help me out with this, so Asuma, Kurenai, Y/N, which of you would like to join them and which would like to take on a few extra students for a little while?”
Asuma and Kurenai looked at each other without speaking, and before you could think about it you broke the silence yourself.
“I’ll help Kakashi and Guy with the reconnaissance.” As soon as the words slipped out you mentally berated yourself. You had been trying to keep away from Kakashi, why would you volunteer to go on a mission with him where the only other person you could interact with for who knows how long would be Guy? And the mission, you shouldn’t have jeopardized that when you know you’d be distracted the whole time. But it was too late, you already volunteered your services and now you had to deal with the consequences. Tsunade nodded at you.
“Thank you Y/N. Kurenai and Asuma, you can decide between the two of you which students you’ll each be teaching for the time being. As for the three of you, I trust you to come up with and execute your own plan for gaining information on our guests and that you will tell me anything you think I need to know.” With that you were all dismissed from the Hokage’s office.
Kurenai and Asuma walked down the hall, presumably to discuss their new temporary students, leaving the three of you on your own. You definitely did not want to be around Kakashi for any extended period of time, but at least Guy was there to act as a sort of buffer. If something was off between you and Kakashi, which it definitely was considering you refused to even look in his general direction or address him directly, Guy certainly was not picking up on it. Even so, the three of you managed to come up with a decent plan for your mission, which involved having a sort of home base at your home because it was right on the border of the village near where the mysterious Rock Village shinobi had set up their camp. You all agreed that Guy and Kakashi would gather anything they might need and meet you at your home later in the day.
  Why I'd wanna kiss you
Even though I miss you
Guess I just want to know what it would feel like, oh
  The second you got back to your apartment, you began pacing. Why, why, why would you put yourself in literally the most uncomfortable situation you could think of, given your current circumstances? This lasted for several minutes, before you realized you had your own things to get together and deal with before your partners on this mission arrived. You managed to lose yourself in thoughts of the mission ahead, so much so that you didn’t realize how quickly time was passing until there was a sharp knock on your door. Please be Guy, please be Guy, please be Guy, you thought to yourself as you walked over to open the door and - it was Kakashi. Of course. You mumbled something not even coherent to yourself and moved aside to let him in. You couldn’t bring yourself to face him, so instead you just faced the closed door as you heard him put his stuff down somewhere behind you.
“You’re avoiding me,” he said, not a hint of questioning in his voice. 
“No, I-” you began. You realized lying to him now would be pointless, so you sighed and turned around, but still didn’t look at him. Instead you stared at the floor. “Yes,” you admitted.
You looked up at Kakashi. He was standing in the doorway to your kitchen, leaning against the door frame. There was an unreadable expression in his eyes. You both paused waiting for the other one to say something. He broke the silence first.
“What have I done wrong? What did I do to make you hate me so much that you’ve been avoiding me for nearly a week?” The hint of pain in his voice made you immediately feel like shit. You knew Kakashi wasn’t one to let onto his emotions that often, so you knew you really must have hurt him with the way you’ve been acting. You quickly shook your head, taking a step closer to him but not wanting to get too near.
“No, you’ve got this all wrong. I don’t hate you, Kakashi,” you assured. “I just- do you remember the other day when we all went out drinking and I walked you home?” He nodded. “Do you remember what you said to me when we got to your house?” This time he shook his head.
“I mean, I remember us talking, and then you ran away pretty fast, but I don’t really remember the specifics of the conversation. That’s why I thought you hated me, because I said something that upset you. I’ve been beating myself up these past few days, thinking I’ve ruined our friendship somehow,” he admitted. “So, what did I say to you to make you run away and avoid me?” You didn’t know how to respond, but luckily you were saved by one Might Guy suddenly bursting through the door.
“You two didn’t start the spying party without me, did you?” he joked, making you giggle. You silently thanked him for relieving some of the tension, even though you knew that you and Kakashi would have to deal with this unfinished business sooner or later.
The three of you went over your plan again and then set out to get into the positions you had planned on for watching the Rock Village shinobi. There were three vantage points on different sides of their camp that were far enough away that unless one of them was specifically looking for you or had a special jutsu that allowed them to detect where you were you wouldn’t be seen, but they were also close enough that if something went wrong you could make it to the camp or to one of your partners quickly. Thus began a long day of watching literally nothing happen, as the shinobi just seemed to be chilling out in their camp.
  Bad ideas
I know where they lead
But I got too many to sleep
And I can't get enough, no
I wanna kiss you standing up
And if tomorrow makes me low
Well it'd be worth it just to know
'Cause I can't get enough, no
I wanna kiss you standing up
  That night, well after the sun had set, you and Kakashi returned to your home, with Guy staying behind to hold down the fort overnight. He had napped during the day while you two kept watch, so he insisted he was fine to keep going. You didn’t bother to argue because you were tired and a little worried about the fact that the shinobi had done nothing worth noting all day. Were they still planning some sort of attack on the village? Did they already have a plan and were now just waiting for the perfect time to strike? Either way, you knew you wouldn’t be in shape for any fighting if you didn’t get a good night’s sleep, and though you offered to sleep in the field in case anything happened, Guy assured both you and Kakashi that you would be close enough to help should he need you for anything. So that was how you ended up alone with Kakashi once again. Without a word, he took a spare blanket out of your closet and started rolling it out on the floor.
“Hey, what are you doing?” you asked.
“I’m setting up a place for me to sleep. I figured it would be fine using this blanket, but I’m sorry I should have asked,” he responded. He sat down on the blanket as if to get comfortable, but didn’t yet lie back.
“You can sleep in my bed, if you’d like to. I don’t want you to sleep on the hard floor if you don’t have to.” You felt bad for him after mistreating him all week, the last thing you wanted to do was make him physically uncomfortable on top of the emotional stuff.
“If I sleep in your bed, then where would you go?” he questioned. He cocked his one visible eyebrow in a gesture that showed he already knew the answer before you gave it.
“Well, I’d sleep on the floor, I guess.” He shook his head.
“I’m not gonna let you sacrifice your comfort for my own, Y/N.” You hesitated before responding.
“Well, we could always both sleep in my bed,” you said meekly. He gave an incredulous look, so you hurried to explain your reasoning. “The bed is big enough for the both of us to be in it without feeling crammed, you know. And that way neither of us will be in pain in the morning from sleeping on the floor.” You were certain he wouldn’t accept your offer, so you were shocked when he stood up and moved the blanket that was on the floor over to on your bed.
“That makes sense to me. Thank you, Y/N.”
The two of you finished getting ready for bed in silence before climbing into opposite sides of the bed. You were practically hanging off the side of it for fear that you would accidentally bump your body into Kakashi’s.
“So, is there any chance you’re willing to talk about why you’ve been avoiding me now that we’re alone?” he asked. You took a deep breath.
“I’m sorry, Kakashi. I can’t. I will soon, I promise. Just, not right now.” He let out a sigh and you could tell he was disappointed, but he didn’t push the matter any further. Soon you could hear a gentle snoring sound that meant he had fallen asleep, but the thoughts swirling around your head kept you awake and staring at the ceiling for a few more hours before you finally drifted off to sleep.
  Smitten's a bad look on me
And if I'm talking honestly
It takes everything I got not to text, and
I just want a kiss to get me through
'Cause now all my bed-sheets smell like you, so
  You woke up to your back pressed up against something and a pair of arms wrapped around your waist. Naturally, you screamed. This made Kakashi, the owner of the arms wrapped around you and the thing your back was pressed against (his chest), instantly wake up and fall off the bed in shock. Your hands instantly went to your mouth as you gasped.
“Well, good morning to you too,” he grumbled as he picked himself up off of the floor.
“Kakashi, I’m so sorry, I woke up and you being there scared me!” you explained.
“Y/N, you’re the one who invited me to sleep in your bed, why would me being there scare you?” he asked, rubbing the back of his head where he hit it against your bed on the way down.
“Well yeah I know, I just didn’t expect you to be spooning me!” At that, his face turned red as a beet.
“Spooning? What do you mean I was spooning you?”
“I mean I woke up with you cuddled up behind me with your arms around me, what else would I mean?” you answered, exasperated. This was not how you planned on starting the morning.
“I… was not aware I was doing that, I’m sorry. Um, I’m gonna go grab something for breakfast,” Kakashi said before all but running out of the room. Not thirty seconds later he called for you to come out there.
That was how you came to find Might Guy sleeping on the floor of your kitchen with six tied up and possibly unconscious or else just unmoving Rock Village shinobi. Kakashi nudged Guy with his foot, making him immediately jump to his feet into a fighting stance.
“Ha! Oh, you two. Have a good night’s sleep?” he asked nonchalantly.
“Guy, what happened? Why are these shinobi on my kitchen floor?” you questioned.
“Right! Well, shortly after you left last night they all started moving around their camp, which I thought was weird because we had seen them all go to bed hours earlier and it was also very late. Once I saw them gathering quite a lot of weapons and strapping them to their persons, I knew something shady was going on. There were only six of them, so I figured I would be fine fighting them on my own, so I didn’t bother going to get you guys. Once I took care of them, I brought them back here. Don’t worry though, I left a note at the Hokage Residence to let everyone know what was going on and to tell them where they can find these six. I expect someone should be around shortly to pick them up,” he explained with the utmost confidence, as if what had transpired was the most normal thing in the world to happen.
“Okay,” Kakashi said. “Okay, well Guy, why don’t you stay here and wait for them. Y/N, do you want to go for a walk? Clearly we’re not needed here.”
“Yes, let’s go,” you agreed. You got dressed and ready for the day as quick as you could, and as you and Kakashi left out your front door, Guy called out a farewell.
“See you later you two! Have fun!” he said with his signature grin and a wink. Maybe he did realize something was up.
  If you think you miss me
Come on back and kiss me
I just gotta know what you and I would feel like, oh no, hey
  You and Kakashi walked around town, occasionally exchanging words but for the most part you were just walking in silence. You stopped at a stand to get some fresh fruit for breakfast and then continued your directionless wandering. Eventually you ended up in a part of the woods that many team leaders, you and Kakashi included, took your teams to for training. There were three logs sticking vertically out of the ground, and Kakashi jumped up to sit on top of one. He gestured for you to come closer, so you joined him by sitting on another of the logs.
“So, are we going to talk now?” he asked. You looked away into the distance, steeling yourself to face the truth before facing him.
“Yeah, I guess we are,” you answered. “The other day when I walked you home, it isn’t just what you said to me, it’s how you said it and what you did while you were saying it. It was just a really weird experience and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head.”
“Y/N, really, if I did anything to offend you, then I apologize a thousand times. Can you please just tell me what I said and did since I don’t remember?” he pleaded.
“Okay, well, it started off when I tried to leave and you kind of just grabbed my arm to keep me from going. You basically pulled me around in order to hug me which caught me so off guard. Then, you called me beautiful and said you wanted to kiss me. I was so shocked that I ran, but ever since then I haven’t been able to get the thought of us actually kissing out of my mind. I mean, it’s gotten to the point where I’m losing sleep over it and it’s starting to drive me crazy.” You started speaking so quickly to just get the words out that by the time you got to the end of it you didn’t know what you were saying. It took you a second to realize what you just admitted.
  Yikes
  Kakashi laughed. He laughed! Here you were, spilling your most mortifying secret to the one person that secret actually affects, and he was laughing at you!
“Is that all?” he asked.
“What do you mean is that all?” you practically yelled. “This has been tormenting me for a week!” He just chuckled again.
“You should have just talked to me about it and I would have cleared it up. I really do think you’re beautiful. It wasn’t just me saying things while drunk, although I do wish the first time I told you was when I was sober. I’d been thinking about it - thinking about you - a lot lately, so I guess drunk me just got impatient and let the cat out of the bag.”
You didn’t know how to react, so you looked down at your feet and said the one thing you could think of. “Oh.”
“Do you mean that though? You’ve been thinking about kissing me?” he asked, sounding a lot more timid than he was before.
“I mean… yeah. A handsome man tells me that he thinks I’m beautiful and he wants to kiss me, why wouldn’t I think about that?” you scoffed as if it were obvious. He reached over and grabbed your hand, causing you to look up at him. He was leaning closer to you than he had been before.
“In that case, Y/N, I am completely sober and I think you are insanely beautiful. Can I please kiss you?” he whispered, as if speaking any louder would ruin the moment.
“Yes,” you whispered back. You reached up to pull down his mask before your lips met in a tender, sweet kiss, the first of many.
  Bad ideas
I know where they lead
But I got too many to sleep
And I can't get enough, no
I wanna kiss you standing up
And if tomorrow makes me low
Well it'd be worth it just to know
'Cause I can't get enough, no
I wanna kiss you standing up

This is the first fanfic I’ve written in about a year and a half. After listening to Tessa Violet’s album non-stop I just felt really inspired, and so this happened. It feels really good to write something for myself instead of for school.

jungkook x y/n, besties to besties with benefits, a lot of texting, smut, fluff and college life, oh and lets pretend V wasn’t born in the christmas holidays
part 1/??
[00:19am] jungkook: please help me
{00:19am} jungkook: i don’t know what to get tae for his birthday
{00:23am} jungkook: Y/N!!!!!!!!!!
{00:25am} y/n: jungkook
{00:25am} y/n: his birthday is literally 5 days away
{00:26am} y/n: why are u like this
Truth be told, you weren't that surprised. Your best friend Jungkook was a novice at putting in effort for his friends birthdays and you were wholeheartedly used to that fact. The stress of finding something for your other best friend’s birthday on Friday was stressful enough for you, let alone the inevitable pleas of Jungkook’s text messages on Sunday evening coming through were enough to send you over the edge.
{00:28am} jungkook: TECHNICALLY it’s 6 days away...
You roll your eyes as you lay on your back, snuggled up under your duvet. You glance at your bedroom door, thinking of your roommate and close friend Nina. As Taehyung’s girlfriend, you wondered what sort of gift she bought for him.
{00:29am} y/n: You know I struggled myself! Have you asked Nina?
{00:29am} jungkook: NO she’ll hate me for leaving it so late D:
{00:29am} jungkook: I’ve been at my computer for ages. mY desperation has led me to WISH.COM
{00:30am} y/n: no she won’t but i get you
{00:30am] y/n: get off wish u idiot
{00:30am} y/n: shall we go shopping on wednesday? I’ll help you find something
You rub your eyes, unable to even pretend to think of gift ideas right now. You turn off your bedside lamp, your eyes straining in the dark as you thank the lords for your 1pm lecture tomorrow. It’s then that you remember Jungkook has an early morning class.
{00:35am} jungkook: YOU’RE THE BEST!!!!
{00:36am} y/n: you should be asleep kook
{00:37am} jungkook: i know i’ll get there
{00:37am} jungkook: can’t sleep rn
{00:37am} y/n: why? gift stress?
{00:38am} jungkook: lol, idk just can’t 
{00:38am} jungkook:
You?
You roll over in the dark, trying to ignore the weird feeling in your stomach.
{00:39am} y/n: I have a late class tomorrow
{00:39am} y/n: YOU however sir do not
{00:39am} y/n: plus you’ve not been getting enough sleep lately, you need to sort out your pattern or you’ll be grumpy for V’s birthday :)
{00:40am} jungkook: i got it covered, just wanted to sort out a gift plan first
{00:40am} y/n: got it covered?
{00:41am} jungkook: I can make myself tired lol, dw <3
{00:42am} y/n: you gonna knock yourself out? LOOOL :(
{00:43am} jungkook: no y/n 
{00:43am} jungkook: 0.o
Oh. Oh.
You clench your thighs together, suddenly in the mood to do that too. 
No, what the fuck, no. That would be weird...touching yourself knowing that your best friend was doing the same. It would be weird...right?
Although it was Jeon Jungkook, you can’t deny that you’ve thought about him, accidentally of course, during your alone times. It was a secret you wouldn’t even admit to yourself let alone him or anyone else. 
It was clearly just the dry spell talking. Your last boyfriend was well over a year ago and Jungkook was a guy. A hot guy. It’s probably normal to fantasise about him.
Except you didn’t fantasise about Tae, or Yoongi, or any of your other male friends. The thought alone sent a different feeling to your stomach, these were your FRIENDS. Practically your brothers.
So why was Jungkook any different?
{00:47am} jungkook: you still there? 
{00:49am} jungkook: don’t pretend like you don’t do it too.
Was this still friendly territory? The full stop in his last text did something to your lower stomach.
Okay, now you’re being weird. You start typing tentatively.
{00:50am} y/n: I mean yeah, who doesn’t?
{00:51am} jungkook: Do you miss sex?
{00:51am} y/n: amongst other things, yes
{00:52am} jungkook: Such as?
Butterflies dance in your stomach as you type your next words, this was brand new territory for you and Jungkook. You wouldn’t even talk about this stuff with Nina...
{00:53am} y/n: I miss being eaten out
Your fingers dance over the screen as you wait for his response. You close and shut the app quickly before reopening it. 
{00:53am} jungkook: mhm
That’s it? Your cheeks redden in the darkness of your room as you shuffle your legs under the covers. 
{00:54am} y/n: I should sleep, it’s getting pretty late for me now
{00:55am} jungkook: okay, yeah sure
You’re about to lock your phone and throw it to the other side of your bed when it buzzes one more time.
{00:57am} jungkook: But are you tired?
{00:59am} y/n: I...am getting there. Why?
{1:00am} jungkook: we could help each other out?
{1:00am} y/n: how?
Jeez, how are you already wet? The excitement of talking to Jungkook like this was too much, clearly. You were 99% sure he was insinuating what you thought he was. But it had been a long time since you sexted, it also wasn’t something you and your ex had done much throughout the relationship.
{1:02am} jungkook: I like talking to you like this. I want to hear what else you like.
{1:02am} jungkook: let’s make each other tired
{1:02am} y/n: jeon!!!! you wanna sext?
{1:02am} jungkook: you made me horny y/n!
{1:03am} y/n: that was alllllll you jk! horny mf
Jungkook reads your message. The absence of the speech bubble appearing makes you stomach twist. Your phone goes dark waiting for it to appear. As much as you reprimanded him for his boyish behaviour, something in you wanted it to continue. But you probably blew it by being so whiney. Fuck. You didn’t know you wanted to sext Jungkook so bad.
And then.
{jungkook: Attachment 1 image}
You hesitate, before sliding open the chat. He’s laying in bed, the phone angled down at this legs in his black sweat pants. His thighs pressed close together in the tight yet stretchy material, his dick protrudes up from under the trousers, casting a dark shadow over his stomach. You know right there and then that this boy’s nudes would look like art.
{1:08am} jungkook: let’s help each other out
{1:08am} jungkook: this is what thinking about you did to me
{1:09am} jungkook: tell me if you want me to stop
You stare at the messages on your phone, fingers hovering over the keys, your instinct to explode your feelings into capital letters and ask him what’s happening. Because that’s how honest you too are...so I guess it’s normal to be this honest too.
You fling the duvet off and swing your legs out of bed. Your heart hammers in your chest as you kneel in front of the mirror, not really thinking with your brain right now. You pull off the baggy t-shirt that floats around your torso, leaving you in your underwear. You place a hand over your breasts, hiding your nipples in a seductive fashion, before using your other hand to snap a photo, hiding half of your heated face with the phone.
Before you can talk yourself out of it, you press send.
You squeal, throwing your phone face down on bed, hoping you didn’t wake Nina up. The last thing you needed was for her to come bursting in to your room right now.
{1:13am} jungkook: holy shit
{1:13am} jungkook: you’re so hot
{1:13am} jungkook: i’m so hard for you
{1:13am} jungkook: wow
You climb quickly back into bed, his words sending electric waves to your core.
{1:14am} y/n: shall I touch myself?
{1:14am} jungkook: fuk yes
{1:14am} jungkook: i can use this picture right?
{1:14am} y/n: that's why i sent it kook :’)
{1:15am} jungkook: right okay haa good
{1:15am} jungkook
: holy wow
You try not to giggle at his cuteness, when his next message makes you gasp.
{1:16am} jungkook: god i wanna taste you
That was all it took to get your hand to work. More dirty words are exchanged, both of you sweating and misspelling, as you both get yourselves off to each other.
{1:26am} y/n: jungkook i’m gonna cum
{1:27am} jungkook: shit y/n me too
{1:27am} jungkook: fucck
Your orgasm washes over you. Your eyes flutter shut as you imagine Jungkook’s lips on your pussy, his body on top of you, the look on his face as he comes. You wonder if he’s loud in bed. If he’s moaning right now.
{1:30am} y/n: That was so fun.
{1:30am} jungkook: jesus. yes it was
{1:31am} y/n: maybe we can do it in person some time?
{1:37am} jungkook: yeah?
{1:37am} y/n: yeah, i guess i really have missed this stuff
{1:37am} y/n: wanna be friends with benefits?
{1:40am} jungkook: Is that what you want?
{1:40am} y/n: i think it sounds fun, what about you? are you down?
{1:41am} jungkook: mhm yes i’m down :)
Your newly found post orgasm confidence delegated some rules over text to Jungkook, which he easily agreed on. The main one being that should the opportunity arise to be physically imitate with each other, the two of you would be exclusive, and let the other person know if they were interested in being sexual with someone else. To which the arrangement would stop.
And under no circumstances, would it come between your friendship.
The two of you had been best friends for over 2 years now, meeting through Taehyung at college party. You didn’t even think about seeing him face to face after the occurrences of last night and what the ‘vibe’ would be, as Nina might say. In fact, it still hadn’t fully settled in that you had sexted Jungkook last night. As you left your apartment just after 12 to get some lunch before your lecture, it had felt like a hazy hot dream.
{GROUPCHAT: 1 new message}
{12:14am} V: anyone on campus ??? I bought too much food from the cafe. Need to share. Heading to the field if anyone wants to eat with me!
You type with two hands as you walk quickly onto campus.
{12:14am}: y/n: I’m almost at the field!
{12:14am} jungkook: I’m at the field now, just finished my jog
You stare at the message that popped up at the same time as yours. Butterflies fill your stomach again at the thought of seeing Jungkook in the flesh after the filthy wishes that were shared between the two of you less than 12 hours ago.
You look up as you reach the grass. Laying down on the green, propped up on his lower arms is the man is your best friend and new sexting buddy Jeon Jungkook. His fluffy black hair is pushed back with a sweat band that you’re sure belongs to Yoongi. The arms of his long sleeved black sweat shirt is rolled up to his elbows, and your eyes fall to his black jogging bottoms. You’re sure they’re a different pair, but the photo he sent you last night burns in your mind and you feel a familiar warmth down below.
Before you reach him, Taehyung appears, slinging down a grocery bag on the grass to which Jungkook leans forward and peers into, flicking his sweaty hair out of his eyes.
“Hey, Y/N!” Tae lifts a hand. “You know you two were the ones I was expecting to accept free food at the speed of light.”
“Hi guys.” You fall to your knees on the soft grass, dropping your bag beside you.
Jungkook’s eyes flicker over you before he meets your gaze. “Hey.” A shy smile ghosts his lips before he opens a packet of Doritos.
“Do you know if Nina got up in time for work?” Tae asks.
“Yeah, she was gone long before me.” You smile, focusing your attention on V.
“So is she not quitting the barista job then?” Jungkook sits up, shoving crisps into his mouth.
“No, she there’s no where else she can work where they’ll let her do the hours she wants.” V explains.
“Yeah, lucky bitch only has classes two days a week.” You scoff. “I should have taken politics.”
“Except one of those days is Friday.” He sighs, pulling out a sandwich and passing it to you. “Guess I’ll be high and dry on my birthday.”
“She’s not coming to your party Friday night?” Jungkook scrunches up the crisp packet noisily.
“Oh yeah she is, but I won’t see her until then, and if I’m not smashed, Nina will be, so...no birthday fuck for me.” He sighs wistfully. “Not one I’d remember anyway.”
Usually this sort of statement from Tae would breeze over you, but your hands become hot and you notice Jungkook swallow and cough. You wonder if he regrets the arrangement you agreed upon last night. You desperately needed to talk about this in person.
“So, um, why do you have so much food?” You open the packet, shoving the bread into your mouth.
“They were doing some deals at the cafe.” V munches. “Oh, to be a student.”
Suddenly, Jungkook stands.
“I’m gonna go get cleaned up, enjoy your lunch guys.” He pats you on the head as he goes. “See you Wednesday, Y/N.”
You bristle at the friendly gesture, again something you wouldn’t have previously batted an eye at, but given the nature of your current situation it seemed...unnatural.
“What you doing Wednesday?” Taehyung asks through a mouthful of baguette.
“Oh, uh, just...meeting up.” You stammer, your eyes following Jungkook’s legs as they head towards the path.
“Hmm.” Taehyung smirks, drinking from his water bottle. “Just meeting up, huh.”
“What?” You snap your head towards him.
“You can’t fool me, Y/N.”
Oh god, you couldn’t be talking about this with Tae before you’d even had a chance to talk about it with Jungkook. How did he know anyway? Were the two of you really being that awkward?
“How-...what?” You blush.
“It’s something to do with my birthday isn’t it?” He grins.
You desperately try to hide your expression of relief and replace it with playfulness. You force yourself to roll your eyes. “Brat.”
After a day and a half of classes, you’re glad to have your mind preoccupied with no more awkward run ins with Jungkook, since your classes were held on opposite sides of the campus. Wednesday morning rolls around, and you’re surprised that he texts you first.
{10:54am} jungkook: Heeey my favourite creative gift giver
You blink at his confidence, baring in mind the previous conversation of your ‘benefit’s’ were floating above his latest text.
You walk into the kitchen, a smile on your face as you type out a reply.
{10:55am} y/n: You’re lucky you get me to leave the house on my day off :P
“Morning!” Nina beams at you, shoving fruit into her smoothie maker. You smile back at her, wishing you were as put together as she was. It makes sense she had a bunch of guys fawning for her attention before she and V got together. It’s even cuter knowing that she dodged them all to be with our lovely Taehyung.
{10:56am} jungkook: you can’t resist the kook ;)
Your bite on your fingernails, staring bewildered at the boy texting you. It felt like someone else was using Jungkook’s phone, his flirtation over text confusing you to no end, whilst his shy demeanour in person suggested he had a split personality. And still, how this was all wrapped up in your best friend of over 2 years you’ll never be able to believe it.
Still, ignoring your nerves, you were looking forward to seeing him properly. To shake off this high school cyber flirt situation.
“Who’s the guy?” Nina slams her hands down on the counter separating the two of you.
“What?” You jump.
“Who’s the guy that’s got you blushing and smiling at your phone like a love sick puppy?” Nina’s eyes sparkle.
You sigh. Since dating Taehyung, Nina had become more interested in your love life, constantly wanting you on the same level as her. She’d also become much more intuitive, to your dismay.
But this was Nina, and you couldn’t hide anything from her. Plus, you needed her deep and thoughtful opinions.
“Wait, so, you haven’t even SPOKEN about it yet?” Nina looks gobsmacked as she keeps missing her mouth with her smoothie straw.
“No! It happened on Sunday night, and we’ve both had classes.” You glance down at your phone, the latest message from Jungkook on the screen, saying he’ll meet you outside your apartment at 12:30.
“Damn...you and jungkook...who’d have thought.” Nina taps her glass.
“He’s seen my boobs Nina!” You exclaim, shoving a left over banana from Nina’s smoothie making into your mouth.
“I bet he’d love to see that.” Nina makes a square with both her thumbs and forefingers, capturing the erotic display in front of her.
“God, you’re spending too much time with V.” You roll your eyes, chomping loudly.
“And you’re spending too much time with Jungkook!” Nina points. “Close your mouth!”
You pout chewing quietly, as you pick up your phone.
“Shit! Nina, how long have we been sitting here, I have to get ready.”
“Wow!” Nina laughs as you leap away from the counter to your bedroom. “Anyone would think you’re going on a date!”
She ducks, missing the banana skin as it hurls over her head.
Nina’s words get to you. Why did you care what you looked like? It’s not like you’ve never hung out with your best friend before. No. You knew why. It’s because it wasn’t just Nina’s words that got to you.
‘You’re so hot.’
You hadn’t even thought if Jungkook had ever found you attractive or not. It was a low grade compliment that you so guilty enjoyed. You wonder if he found you hot every day, when you ate together, played video games together, when you attended the same parties did he ever look at you in your short skirts and think...
“Hey, Y/N.”
Your weird and wild thoughts are cut short by the man himself. Jungkook approaches you as you lean against the wall of your accommodation building. He stops in front of you, his eyes scanning your previously distracted face. Did he always stand this close?
“Ready to go?”
Together you drive the short journey to the mall. You discuss gift ideas as Jungkook watches the road, whilst you try not to watch his hands.
He parks the car in the underground parking lot and unbuckles his belt quickly. You sigh. Unlike him, YOU can’t go the whole day without talking about IT.
“Jungkook.” You start, your voice dropping an octave.
He freezes like he’s been caught doing something he shouldn’t. “Y/N.”
“Do you still...about the other night, um...” You mentally kick yourself, wishing you’d prepared what you were going to say before you said it. “I had fun...is what I’m trying to say.”
“So did I.” He smiles. “A lot of fun.”
“Good. Me too. Are you still...down?” You meet his gaze, wishing you weren't having this conversation at such a close proximity.
“Yeah.” He catches his lip for a moment in between his teeth and you swear you almost stop breathing. He glances over your face. “Sorry, down to...?”
You smack his arm lightly. “You know...down to get down.” You wiggle your eyebrows before regretting it instantly. “Ahem, down to be friends with benefits.”
He gazes at you, his eyes darkening. “Is that what you want?”
Why does he keep asking that? Of course you want it! You wouldn’t have suggested it otherwise.
“Yeah.” You tell him. “I don’t wanna be one of those crazy uptight people that need to get laid.”
He breathes air out of his nose. “We wouldn’t want that would we?” He smirks, leaning closer to you until his breath is fanning your lips. “I think we know our first order of business.”
“Mhm?” You mumble, trying to still calm your breathing as you stare at his wet lips that he just licked, purposefully. His hand slides around to your back.
Suddenly there’s a click as he undoes your seatbelt.
“Find a birthday present for Taehyung!” He pulls away and opens his car door.
You let out a breath. Jeon Jungkook.
Shopping was taking longer than expected. It was hard to find something that didn’t scream ‘happy birthday, I just bought this from the mall 2 days ago!’. Jungkook wasn’t making it any easier, he was more interested embracing the role of the best friend with benefits.
“Hey, wanna take a look in here?” He throws an arm around you, nudging you towards the lingerie store.
“Jungkook I’m here to help you find a present for Taehyung. Have you forgotten that I’ve already got something to give him?”
“Okay okay, I’m just saying. I’d definitely want to see you in that.” He points to a black lace plunge bodysuit worn by mannequin. 
“Mhm, yeah?” You lower your voice, drawing his attention back to you. “Well, you said first order of business was to find a birthday present for Tae, so that’s what we’re doing right now.”
He smirks down at you. “Fine. What do you suggest?”
“I have an idea.” You tug on his hand a few stores down. “You should get him a whole new outfit. He’s always telling you how much he loves your style!”
“Yeah, that would be cool.” He smiles. “See, this is why I needed your help! You’re good with this stuff!”
“Come on!”
Excitedly, the two of you begin picking out clothes you both like and that you think V will love. Eventually you come up with a handful of shirts, trousers, jackets and shoes.
“Okay, now we gotta put them into outfits and choose which one we like the best.” Jungkook dumps the clothes on a seating area, the mall is quiet today. Most people are at work or college on a weekday, leaving the seating areas open to have clothes dumped upon.
“Kook, you can’t choose like this. You need to try them on. You guys are like the same size.”
“Ah, really?” He groans. “I’m too hungry for this.”
“We’ll get food after this.” You pick up the clothes and shove them into his chest. “Go.” You nod to the changing rooms.
He carries the items to the changing rooms, you follow along behind, letting your hand feel the mens clothes hung up on the racks as you pass.
“Hey, uh, got a few items here.” Jungkook shrugs to the college aged boy behind the changing room desk.
The guy barely looks up from his phone as he nods Jungkook down the hallway to the changing rooms. You stay behind, pulling out your phone.
{13:23pm} nina bean!: Hey?! How’s it going ;) x
{13:35pm} y/n: Fine lol, I don’t know what you think is happening at the MALL x
You wait for her reply, your eyes falling to the ground by the desk, where a crumpled up t-shirt lies. You stoop forward to pick it up, and it’s only your favourite choice out of all the options. There’s no way he’s not trying this one on. The man behind the counter pays no attention as you start down the hallway, the t-shirt in your grasp.
“Jungkook.” You whisper.
Finally, he answers you from the end of the corridor. “Yeah?”
You pull open the curtain and gasp.
“Jesus, Y/N!” Jungkook scrambles to pull any pair of trousers over his bare legs as he stands in his boxers. 
“You said yeah!” You step inside the changing cubicle with him, for a reason you can’t think of, closing the curtain behind you from the inside.
“Yeah doesn’t mean ‘whip open the curtain for anyone to see!’” He sits down on the small bench.
“Oh chill out, there’s literally no one here today.” You hold up the shirt, standing in front of him. “You dropped this.”
He takes the shirt, opening it up to inspect it with large curiosity. His cheeks crimson. You chuckle quietly. “You know, you’ll have to get used to me seeing you naked right?”
His eyebrows flick upwards as he hides a shy smile. “Right.”
It seems awkward Jungkook has returned. Unbeknownst to you, the idea of being intimate with you already sent his heart rate through the roof. Realising the idea goes beyond hypothetical advances and flirtatious jokes was enough give Jungkook a heart attack.
It was only then that the thought occurred to you, maybe you had wanted this kind of relationship with him for a long time, and maybe he had too.
As you ponder this revelation, your eyes drop to a new piece of art on his shoulder. 
“Hey.” Your fingers reach out before you can stop them, brushing the inked skin. “You got a new tattoo?”
He shivers under your touch, staring up at you, as if he doesn’t know what you’ll do next. His fingers reach out, before he can stop them, and pull you closer by your jean belt hoop. “Like it?”
“Love it.” You whisper, drawing around the outline with your nail. He hisses.
You clear your throat and back off. “I’ll be outside when you’re done.”
Jungkook stands up, keeping the close proximity as he backs you into the wall of the cubicle. “Promise me something, Y/N.” He murmurs, tracing your jawline with his finger.
“What, kook?”
“I’ll always have you. No matter what.”
“Of course cringe ball.” You whisper.
He smiles then, relieving some of the tension in the air. His smile is infectious, you giggle back at him. When he looks at your lips, his smile fades, and your heart pounds in your ears. You can hear his shaky breath as he leans in, so slowly that it’s almost unnoticeable. Painfully slow. He stops, a hair away from your lips as they part.
“Kook-” You murmur.
At the sound of his nickname he wastes no more time. Bringing his lips to yours eagerly, one hand caressing your jaw whilst other rests above your hip. The kiss is passionate, his thigh pokes in between yours in an attempt to get as close to you as possible. You grant access to his tongue as it shyly asks for permission against your teeth. The feeling of your tongue against his seems to spur him on. He whimpers into your mouth, pressing his crotch against yours. You catch your breath as his mouth leaves yours, only to trail kisses along your jaw and down your neck. “Kook...” You moan softly as he moves your top strap and sucks on your collarbone.
“Mmm?” He moves back to your mouth, kissing you deeply.
“We have to...choose...an outfit...” You breath in between kisses.
“Mmm, I know.” He pulls away from your lips, touching them with his finger. Then he steps back and grabs an outfit, including the t-shirt you chose. “I’ve chosen.”
“Did you try them on?”
“All except this.” He pulls the shirt over his head and looks in the mirror. “It’s fine. It’ll fit.” He pulls it back off and smirks when he catches you staring. He leans forward and kisses you on the nose. “Let’s go eat.”
You pick up the discarded clothes to return and he starts to help you. “That was hot.” He throws a smile in your direction.
“Don’t tell me you’ve got a kink for public places I didn’t know about?” You raise an eyebrow.
“I guess you’ll find out all about my kinks.” He winks, pulling open the curtain. 
As you both leave the store with outfit for Taehyung, you check your phone.
{13:40pm} nina bean!: You tell me ;) x
Something tells you, you will.
After a full day of classes on Thursday, you and Nina meet and walk home together. She’s completely invested in your friendly sexual adventures, but decides to broach a different type of question.
“Did you always know you wanted Jungkook?”
“I didn’t always want him.” You correct her. “I always knew he was cute...well, more than cute, but who didn't? He’s been a great friend to me since we met...we’re just helping each other out.”
“Y/N, you just made out with your best friend, who was TOPLESS, let’s not forget. IN A CHANGING ROOM STALL. You’re telling me there was no spark? No passion? No...”
“I didn’t say that.” You hide a smirk as Nina squeals beside you, tugging your arm. 
“Oh yes! I can’t wait till you start dating. I can FINALLY double date with my bestie. There’s so many couples date ideas I want to try out with the four of us-”
“Who said I want to be in a couple?!” You gesture wildly. 
“Well what DO you say, Y/N? You just admitted that there was a spark.”
“There can be a spark in my situation.” You protest. “It passionate because it’s fun. I think he’s hot, he thinks I’m hot. We’re already comfortable with each other. It’s the perfect match.”
“Perfect match.” Nina pokes you.
“Nina! Are you not familiar with the term ‘FRIENDS with benefits’?”
“Yes, I am familiar.” Nina snaps. “Very familiar, actually.”
“Oh?” You raise an eyebrow. It was a rare occurrence that you found something out about Nina that you didn’t already know.
“Oh, indeed.” She nods. “It was a disaster. I fell for him stupidly fast, and then he told me he was getting back with his ex and that was that. He’d been thinking of HER the entire time. Point is, it’s better to stick to the generic way of dating in this day and age, so you KNOW where his head is at. Trust me.”
“Yeah well, Jungkook is my best friend, he’s not thinking of anyone.” You tell her. 
“I know!” She nods. “Sorry. I don’t want to worry you. I just want you to be happy, like I am.”
“I am perfectly happy with my current relationship with Jungkook.” You reassure her.
She smiles, her eyes lighting up once the two of you reach your accommodation. “V!” She exclaims.
“Hey!” V holds a small bunch of flowers as he wraps his arms around his girlfriend. 
“What’s this? I thought I wasn’t seeing you until your party.” Nina blinks up at him.
“Yeah, about that. I wanted an afternoon with my girl before we get shit faced drunk with our friends. I’m taking you out to dinner.”
“V, you’re so cute!” Nina gasps. “I’m suppose to be spoiling you this week!”
“Hey, Y/N!” V ruffles your hair. “Mind if I steal your roommate?”
“Not at all.” You laugh.
“Oh, V, I’m not exactly ready for a dinner date.” Nina cups her own cheeks self consciously.
“You’re gorgeous.” He taps her nose. “Don’t be silly.”
Nina turns to you with the flowers in her grasp. “Can you put these in some water for me?”
“Sure.” You smile.
You watch them skip away, thoughts swirling. You couldn’t imagine Jungkook making a gesture like that. To another girl, yes, but to you? 
Who knows what you wanted anymore.
After dropping your bag on your bedroom floor, you decide to take a long hot shower. You step out to see a flash on your phone. 4 memes from Jungkook.
{16:44} y/n: thanks for the meme spam :’)
{16:45} jungkook: I should probably stop sitting in my towel scrolling through memes and get dressed lol I'm so relatable
{16:45} y/n: LMAO I’M DOING THE SAME THING RN
{16:45} jungkook: proof
Here comes that excitement in your stomach again, who cares if you weren’t in a proper relationship? Who cares if Jungkook’s feelings weren’t as intense as yours? Your relationship now was exhilarating. 
You let the towel drop from your body and glance at the mirror, your figure blurry with steam from the glass, but there’s enough to see what he wants to see, whilst leaving more to the imagination.
Snap.
You send the photo and put on a pair of shorts and t-shirt, climbing into bed. The exhaustion of a day full of absorbing information comes crashing down.
{16:48} jungkook: fuck that’s sexy
{16:48} jungkook: wanna see me?
{16:48} y/n: yes please
{jungkook: Attachment 1 image}
You were right. This boy knows how to take nudes. He holds his dick in one hand, the camera settled into selfie mode to show his v line and tense stomach. You gasp quietly at how big he is. He sits on the side of the bath, his towel discarded beside him.
You move your panties aside and start rubbing in slow circles at the sight of him.
{16:50} y/n: i’m touching myself
{16:50} y/n: wow you’re so hard already
{16:50} jungkook: that’s what you do to me baby
{16:51} y/n: i want to send you something else
{16:51} jungkook: ?
You video yourself, sliding your finger up and down your clit, drawing the slick up to your stomach. You send it to him, giddy as a school girl. 
{16:52} jungkook: fuck
{16:52} jungkook: stop y/n
You feel your face heat up at his request. Was it too much? You look down at your pussy self consciously.
{16:53} jungkook: Can I come over?
You say yes.
Jungkook’s accommodation is a ten to fifteen walk away. You change into a thin vest top and sexier gym shorts despite the cold weather. You stand in front of the mirror, overthinking as per usual. Was it too try hard? He’s seen you in what you normally wear to chill and snack in after a day of classes, this was clearly for him. 
But you kind of liked that.
-

The Joker x Reader - “ What Death Tastes Like” Part 5
Scarecrow’s daughter might be only 22, yet the terminal lung cancer she was diagnosed with six months ago didn’t discriminate against her age; the young woman didn’t show worrisome symptoms until it was too late. Y/N always had a fascination for the much older King of Gotham and despite the consequences, maybe it’s finally time to do something about it.
Tumblr media
Part 1    Part 2   Part 3     Part 4
The Joker feels his face covered in soft kisses and although generally speaking he loves being pampered, this particular instance awakens his self-defense mechanism.
“What time is it?” J mutters.
“Let me see,” you stretch for your phone. “12:03 am.”
“I should go,” he lifts his head up from the pillow and you pull him back in your arms, yawning.
“Stay for a little bit longer, ok?”
“Why?”
“I wish to hold on to my birthday present for a few more minutes,” Y/N pleads with the man she senses doesn’t want to be there anymore. “Don’t worry, I’m aware it was a casual affair,” your sad smile prompts a completely out of context answer:
“If you noticed I fell asleep, you should have woken me up!” The King of Gotham complains.
“I fell asleep also,” you snuggle to him and since J is suddenly quiet you whisper. “It was amazing.”
He keeps staring which makes you wonder what the hell is going on in his mind right now.
“At least for me,” you underline after you grasp he won’t comment on the subject; you didn’t have a clue he’ll convert the night you spent together into awkwardness for no reason. “Get out of my tent!” you snap at his behavior, irritated. “Get out!” you shove him and The Clown Prince of Crime doesn’t budge.
“Why are you mad?” he finally addresses the annoyed Y/N.
“Because you’re a jerk!”
“Come again?!” The Joker frowns and Scarecrow’s daughter has a clever response; she doesn’t share his genes for nothing.
“I would but I guess you’re not a big fan of us having sex a second time!!!”
“Wow!” J bitterly scoffs. “You sure can twist a guy’s words, huh? If you really must pry into my personal life, I’ll have you know that I’m not used with small talk afterwards, understand?”
While you wonder if he’s bluffing, you can’t help offer the benefit of doubt served with a side of insolence.
“Well, maybe if you would give it a try with someone that actually cares, you’d have stuff to discuss.”
“Miss Crane, what makes you think Mara doesn’t like me?”
The Joker expects a feisty reply to his audacious remark yet he receives a piece of sturdy logic instead:
“If she was crazy in love, she wouldn’t agree and with this on and off relationship you two have.”
J is obviously displeased at your statement thus Y/N has to unleash her creativity in order to push him comprehend what she’s aiming at.
“The problem is you don’t approach anything important, you only shut down everyone. Even Emma believes she’s not yours.”
The King of Gotham was preparing to lash out but your latest sentence totally catches him off guard.
“What do you mean?!”
“You never talk about her mother granted she keeps asking so Emma presumes you probably stole her from an individual you consider your enemy and raised her as revenge.”
“Huh?!” The Joker gets on his elbow, appalled. “She is my daughter!”
“I say that to her when she panics, unfortunately random people do look similar…,” you twirl a strand of his green hair around your fingers. “Steering clear from issues we’re uncomfortable with doesn’t necessarily result in a positive outcome,” Y/N concludes and her partner is not excited at all.
“Are you psychoanalyzing me?!”
“I’m a Crane,” you peck his lips. “It’s in our blood.”
A lot of thoughts rushing behind those blue eyes and you’re confident his patience is running low; add a short fuse to the combo and according to your flawless instinct J will bite soon.
“Take me for example,” you attempt to cram in the main point of your dialogue before it happens. “I don’t care you’re older, I fancy your company nevertheless: you’re super handsome plus emotionally unattractive…”
“I’m what?!” The Joker interrupts.
“Umm… emotionally unattractive?” you hesitantly repeat while watching him jump off the pillows and start to collect his clothes in the semi darkness.
“Serves me right for sleeping with somebody half my age!” he growls at the young woman realizing she upset him with her rant.
“So you’re 46?” you struggle to joke at his affirmation.
“Listen here, Miss Crane!” J dresses in a hurry, angry at your stunt. “If you imagine you figured me out, you didn’t!! Nobody fucks with me!” he violently kicks the mattress and you can’t avoid it:
“I think I just did. Literally.”
The hate in his demeanor makes you regret opening up; your goal was to imply you like him no matter what yet the aftermath is way off what you intended.
“I apologize, OK?” you sigh and reach your hand for his.
“I hope you perish!” he strikes your fingers with such brutality it stings. “You’re dying anyway but hopefully the Cromyxillium kills you faster!” The Joker unzips the tent and leaves a shocked Y/N breathless at his hurtful tirade.
“That’s all you got? Stupid old man…” you whimper and cuddle under the thin blanket with his cushion.
Grief is not the correct term to describe what you experience for the moment: a perfect birthday turned into exactly the opposite in a blink of an eye simply because The Joker proved once more he has no concept on how to handle dynamite; fire suits him better.
***************
Next morning, 10:14am
“Are you hot or cold?” your father inquires since your intravenous therapy commenced 10 minutes ago.
“No,” you gaze at the IV bag and Jonathan lingers by your bed, reminding his offspring about their plan.
“We’ll do 3 hours on, 3 hours off; I’ll monitor your vitals and if you feel strange alert me immediately, deal?”
You nod a yes and his perseverance in aiding you with your terminal cancer evokes a sincere confession:
“Daddy…Thank you for trying to save me…I’m sorry I’m a burden…”
“A burden?!” Scarecrow mumbles.
There are a million facts you should evoke, yet the predominant one keeps hunting you.
“You buried yourself in the lab because of me…and Evelyn left…”
“Evelyn and I broke up for various motives,” your parent grumbles. “Saying I immersed myself into working because of you hints that I was forced into it against my will which is not true. I did everything out of love… I can’t bear the idea of losing you,” he kisses your temple; you wrap your free arm around his neck, squeezing him tight.
“You’re the best dad; I’m lucky you’re my father. If I die… you think mom is waiting for me?...”
Jonathan Crane has the weird sensation he’s choking; his wife died after you were born due to leukemia, now their daughter is fighting for survival: she’s plainly the last fortress separating him from utter madness.
“I couldn’t save your mother, but I’ll be damned if I let you die kid,” he caresses your cheek. “She can wait; I bet she’s not eager to take you with her,” Scarecrow reassures his daughter. “Rest honey.”
“I will…” you consent and Emma barging in the bedroom with her duffle bag switches your attention.
“I’m here, I’m here!” she exclaims. “Traffic was horrible, bad accident on the freeway!”
**************
11 am
“Are you comfortable?” Emma checks with her friend, not entirely certain how to bring up a very delicate topic clouding her usually bubbly disposition.
“Of course,” you smile and she wiggles in her recliner. “Are you?” you wink at her visible restlessness as you attempt to lighten the atmosphere.
“Y/N…,” she taps the fluffy carpet with her feet. “Mmmm… last night after we returned from the river I dropped by to see how you’re doing and… I came to your tent…,” Emma pauses seeing the stupefied expression on your face. “I…I found my father sleeping in there with you…”
You lick your lips and strain to keep your calm even if your heart is pounding out of your chest.
“Did my dad take advantage of you?” she lowers her voice and you can tell she’s torn apart by the horrible notion.
“He didn’t,” you shake your head.
“Dumb girl…” Emma admonishes without any trace of resentment; what else can she articulate in these circumstances regardless?  
“I can’t believe I’m inquiring… Did you use protection?”
“No…It just happened…”
“Oh my God!” the concerned judgement pressures you to continue:
“It didn’t end well so it’s fair to assume we’re not in any danger of me becoming your stepmom,” your tone diminishes and she leans over to scold when The Joker passes by the opened door without bothering to peek inside your bedroom; you didn’t spot him but Emma did.
“I’ll be back!” she hisses and you’re confused at her desire to leave you.
“Hey, where are you going?”
She ignores your question and races after The King of Gotham, catching up with him at the end of the long corridor.
“Dad!” Emma shouts and he turns around.
“Yeah?”
“What are you doing?!” she interrogates the clueless Joker.
“I’m meeting Crane. Is he downstairs?”
“In his lab compounding the next batch of Cromyxillium for Y/N,” she fumes at J’s impertinence. “Didn’t you forget something?”
He seems puzzled and Emma is not tricked by his deceiving performance.
“My best friend is in her quarters, uncertain if she’ll survive the cancer treatment. Are you pretending she doesn’t exist?”
“Meaning?” The Joker sneers.
“I know you slept with her!” the accusation follows instantly. “Don’t deny it! How could you take advantage of her?!”
The Clown Prince of Crime straightens his shoulders, aware he can’t negotiate his innocence out of this complicated riddle.
“I did not take advantage of her! How dare you accuse me of such low move?”
“You didn’t?” Emma closes the gap between them. “You know she has a crush on you and she’s vulnerable; what type of man would prey on that?!”
J is not thrilled with the innuendos and cuts her off:
“She basically begged for some and I obliged out of pity!”
Emma slaps him and The Joker gasps, enraged she had the audacity:
“Do that again and I’ll neglect you’re my daughter!” he growls and the serious threat doesn’t faze her.
“Hurt her more and I’ll forget you’re my father! If you are indeed my father,” she emphasizes while stomping away towards the kitchen.
“I am your father!” J simmers at her impeccable strategy: Emma is retreating to a different corner of the house giving him the opportunity to choose.
Who the heck knows if she’s actually his?
One thing is undeniable though: they share the same despicable temper.
****************
You discern The Joker in the doorway and your body stiffens; you stare at the TV screen wishing he’ll disappear.
“Where’s Crane?” J analyzes Y/N’s IV pole.
You don’t engage so his crankiness emerges.
“I suppose you didn’t flatlined yet!”
“Nope,” you grunt at the provocative declaration that served its goal: you did reply to The Clown’s rubbish.
“Where’s Crane?”
“I heard you the first time and I’m not sure why you focus your energy on a useless interrogation. You know where my father is!”
“Where?” The Joker’s vile attitude can’t compromise for less than instigating his fling.
“Please take your stuff that’s firm now but will get saggy in maximum 20 years and vanish!” the poisonous remark makes him groan.
“What stuff?!”
You check him out glaring at his mid-section before dismissing his presence.
“That’s the rudest fucking criticism ever!” The Joker barks and Y/N crabbily indicates:
“It’s not criticism, it’s reality! Gravity’s a bitch! Mara won’t mind, won’t she? After all, you two share a very special bond: on today, off tomorrow, hookup next week, take a break next month. Such dreamy relationship!”
“Do you have more derogatory references to my private life?!” J grinds his teeth ready to unleash several atrocities your way.
“No, too busy dying…” you show him the needle in your arm. “I don’t feel the pain from the medication burning my veins; I’m used with my sickness, with the ups and downs. What I do feel is the pain of being taken for granted.”
The Joker is not a fan of the insinuated context.  
“You said no strings attached!” he stresses the lack of commitment consented the previous evening.
“You’re the one that came to me; I thought it meant you were accepting to be the center of my universe.”
J ogles the ceiling of Y/N’s bedroom and assembles a couple of harsh disclosures in his brain when her entitled smirk halts the project.
“You’re buying it, aren’t you?” you chuckle at his astonishment. “I’m just messing with you Mister Joker; who in their right mind would make you the center of their universe?! You have 10 seconds to leave, otherwise I’ll scream and security will come!” you shelter your head with the quilt so you don’t have to see his mug anymore.
No outpour of vexation from his part which is cool: means he bailed.
The blanket is slowly pulled until your eyes emerge; J hovers your face, pissed at the unwelcomed clash.
“I’m checking if you kicked the bucket; corpses are usually covered thus my dilemma.”
“Go away!” you advise. “Or I’ll scream!”
You inhale preparing to yell: The Joker didn’t predict you’d defy him and he swiftly kisses you in order to stop the sounds.
The door is cracked and Emma witnesses the scene, reckoning bizarre elements:
Her father holds grudges and was mad at Y/N earlier due to whatever happened yesterday; nevertheless he still kissed her.
On the other hand, you were definitely miserable after your escapade, yet you didn’t reject him.
Emma may not be informed about the entire story, but one detail is crystal clear: the future is far from being simple.

From Afar
Chapter 8:  I got your heart on my mind
Tumblr media
Featuring: Sam Winchester x Plus Size Reader
Summary: Staying at your mom’s place is continuing to bring up past memories between you and Sam.
Warnings: angst, crying
AN: The next chapter might not get posted next Thursday, but I’m going to try.
Links are broken and all past and future chapters can be found in my masterlist
THEN
The clock read 9:56pm when your phone started ringing. Reaching over on your nightstand you grabbed your phone and was surprised to see Sam’s name on the screen. 
“Hello?” 
“(Y/N), it’s so nice to hear your voice,” Sam says with his voice sounding raspy.
There is something about his voice that sounds slightly off and you aren’t exactly sure why. 
“Sam are you okay?” you ask as you sit up in bed. 
“I just need to hear your voice,” he’s starting to sound a little frantic and you’re growing more concerned. 
“What’s going on,” you reach over and turn on lamp that is sat on your nightstand. 
“I just need you to know that I love you. I’m so sorry about what happened when I didn’t have a soul. I wish more than anything I could change what happened,” his voice is shaky and you’re now worried something is truly wrong. 
“Sammy, why are you saying goodbye to me,” you know this is his way of saying goodbye and you have no clue what is going on. 
“I just need you to know no matter what. I love you and you mean so much to me,” he says. 
“Sammy,” you want to beg him to tell you what’s going on but you know he won’t. 
“You have always been my world,” he says before he hangs up. 
You sit your phone down on the bed next to you and you push away the tears that have started sliding down your cheek. You listen as the water shuts off in the bathroom letting you know that Owen will be coming to bed soon. You can’t bring yourself to lie to him and tell him nothing is wrong so you lay down and fake that your asleep. You hold your eyes closed tightly as you hear the bathroom door open. As the bed dips next to you hope Owen doesn’t try to talk to you. 
Soon you feel his body curl up behind you. 
He whispers, “goodnight babe.”
As you drift to sleep you can only think of Sam. 
-
At 2:14am you wake up to another call. This time it’s Dean. Your stomach drops seeing Dean’s name. 
Pulling away from Owen you answer your phone, “Dean what’s wrong with Sam?”
There is a long silence between the two of you before he says, “he’s doing the trials to close the gates of hell. If he doesn’t stop he’ll die.”
Bile starts to climb up your throat at the fact that Sam is doing something that is going to kill him. 
“Dean stop him,” you quickly crawl out of bed.
“I’m trying to. Darling I need your help. I need you to talk him out of it,” he begs. 
“Okay, I’m leaving now.”
Hanging up the phone you frantically search around your room. You need to get changed and pack a backpack. Walking into your closet you grab your backpack and quickly start shoving clothes in it. Quickly you strip away your pajamas and pull on some leggings and a sweater. You hear Owen call your name. You turn to find him standing at the foot of the bed looking very confused. 
“What’s going on?” He asks as he rubs his hands across his face. 
“I have to go. Dean called it’s an emergency. I’ll be back soon,” you ramble on quickly as you put on a pair of boots. 
Owen stares at you looking very confused. You rush over and kiss him before you run out of your house. You jump on your car and drive straight to Sam and Dean. 
As you arrive you find Dean carrying Sam out of the barn. Sam looks dead and your heart sinks as you look at your best friend. You can’t help but sob as you rush to Sam. 
“Sam,” you plead. 
He doesn’t respond and your stomach twist.
You look at Dean who looks like he’s barely holding it together. 
“I need to get him to the hospital,” Dean says. 
You help get Sam into the impala and you sit in the back seat with Sam. His head is resting on your lap. You keep your hand rest on his heart hoping you’ll feel it beating faster. 
As you arrive at the hospital Dean rushes in to get help. You sit in the back seat still holding Sam. Tears are streaming down your cheek as you whisper over and over, “Sam I need you to live. I can’t lose you again. My life can’t exist without you.”
Dean rushed back to the car with help. You watch as they get Sam out of the car and they rush himself. Crawling out of the car you shut the door and leaned against it taking a deep breath. Dean looks back at you with wild eyes. His bottom lip is captured between his teeth as he holding back tears. 
“He’s gonna make it right?” You finally ask. 
“I don’t know,” his voice was shaking as tears start sliding down his cheeks. 
“Where is Cas?” You asks needing to know where the only person that could heal Sam. 
“I don’t know. I think all the angels fell,” he steps towards you and pulls you into his chest. You know right at that moment Dean just needs someone to hold you and tell you it’s going to be okay. 
“What if he’s gone,” you say as you start to sob. You were trying your hardest to keep it together, but you couldn’t hold back anymore. You’re terrified that Sam’s not gonna make it. 
-
Sitting in the hospital room you stared at Sam who was still asleep. You were starting to lose hope that Sam was going to make it. 
Dean’s hope was slipping too because he made a deal with an angel to heal his brother. 
Closing your eyes you rested your head against the window. You hadn’t slept much since you had you met up with Dean. Your eyes grew too heavy. 
You woke up to Dean saying Sam’s name. Your eyes popped up quickly and you looked over see Sam waking up. Without even thinking you rushed across the room and wrapped your arms around Sam’s neck. Tears started quickly sliding down your cheeks as you held him tightly. You practically sat in his lap as he held you close rubbing your back. Pulling away from him you held his face in your hands and leaned forward crashing yours lips to his. It wasn’t a passion filled kiss. It was a kiss filled with desperation. You knew you shouldn’t have kissed him but your emotions took over you. 
“Don’t ever leave me again,” you sobbed with your face nuzzles in your neck. 
“I won’t,” he says as he continues to hold you. 
He holds you for what feels like forever, but you haven’t stopped crying. Pulling away from him you sit on the edge of the bed and he reaches up and brushes the tears off your cheek. You smile and let out a soft giggle at the fact that he’s okay. 
As you stare at Sam you can’t help but feel like you need to call Owen. You need to let him know everything is okay. 
“Sam I need to make a call,” you say as you rest your hand on top of his. 
“Do you need to call Owen?” he says as his face falls slightly. 
Slowly you nod your head. 
“Okay.”
Stepping away from Sam you give him and Dean a moment alone while you walk outside to call Owen. You sit on a bench outside of the hospital. You pull your phone out of your pocket and open your contact list. Owen’s name is in front of you and you’re trying to get the courage to call him. After once again losing Sam and getting him back had messed with your head and left you confused. Taking a deep breath you finally press his name. 
The phone rings three times before you finally hear him say your name. 
“Hi,” you say softly. 
“(Y/N), where are you?” he asks. 
“I’m in Lebanon with Sam and Dean.”
There is a long moment of silence before he asks, “What's going on?” 
“There was an accident and Sam almost died,” you say as your eyes start to water just thinking about the fact you had almost lost Sam again. 
“Is he okay?”
“Yeah,” you’re trying to keep your voice from shaking. 
“When are you coming home?” 
You knew Owen wasn’t dumb when it came to your feeling Sam. He probably wasn’t happy that you left out of nowhere to see Sam. 
“I’ll be coming home either today or tomorrow,” you know you need to go see him and explain some things. 
“Okay I love you and will see you soon,” is the last thing he says before hanging up. 
You stay outside for a few minutes giving yourself a minute to breathe. You know you need to go home and see Owen, but you don’t know what’s going to happen when you get home. 
Walking back into the hospital you walk into Sam’s room and sit on the edge of his bed. Resting your hand on his thigh you lean forward and rest your forehead against his. 
“You have to leave don’t you?” He asks. 
Pulling away from him you gave him a sad smile and nodded your head. 
“I won’t be gone for long,” you say. 
“Do you promise?” He asks pulling away from you. 
“Yes.”
-
NOW
You and Sam stay in the guest room for awhile. You can tell Sam is attempting to distract you and you’re completely fine with that. He’s the only reason this trip is even close to bearable. 
You hear your soon to be stepdad knock on the door letting you know dinner is ready. 
“Are you ready?” Sam stands up and holds his hand out for you.
You would follow Sam anywhere if he held your hand. You never felt safer than when you held his hand. 
Slowly you get off the bed and lace your fingers with his. Hand in hand he leads you out of the room. Walking into the kitchen you find your mother and Kalen sitting at the dark wooden table waiting for you. You only drop Sam’s hand sit down at the kitchen table. Sitting across from your mother you feel her staring at you. You look over at Sam and grab his hand right away. Gently he squeezes your hand letting you know he’s there for you. 
As you start eating Sam releases your hand but he reaches over and rest his hand on your chubby thigh. His simple touch is comforting. As dinner goes on you make small talk with your mother. You aren’t even sure what exactly you should say to her. 
After dinner you help your mom talk the dishes to the kitchen, and silently you help her do the dishes. When you place the final dish on the counter your mother shuts the water off and looks over at you. You can tell she wants to say something to you. 
“I’m sorry about leaving you and your father.”
You know in all the years that have passed since she left you and your dad. You know she’s grown to regret how she left, but it doesn’t break your heart any less. 
“Why did you cheat?” you know whatever she says isn’t going to make you feel any better but you need to know. 
“Your father seemed to care about hunting more than me. He didn’t understand I didn’t want him being a hunter,” she leans against the counter and messes with the bottom of her shirt. 
“Dad loved you. He didn’t stop hunting because he wanted to keep us safe,” you say defending your father. 
“Do you still hunt with Sam and Dean?” she asks. 
Silently you nod your head. 
“It’s pretty clear Sam is still in love with you,” she says. 
You knit your eyebrows together and stare at her with a confused look on your face. 
“What do you mean?” You asks. 
“I think that boy has been in love with you from the moment he met you. It’s clear he still feels that way. The real question is, is Sam Winchester the reason you left Owen?” 
You couldn’t lie to her. Even though you owe your mother nothing you can’t lie to her. Slowly you nod your head and say, “yeah.”
“Hopefully he doesn’t break your heart,” she says. 
-
THEN
Walking into your home you share with Owen you feel sick to your stomach. You know whatever happens someone is going to walk away heartbroken. 
Walking into your bedroom you find Owen sitting on your bed with his laptop. He must of heard your footsteps because he closes his laptop and sits it down next to him. 
You can’t help it when your eyes start to brim with tears. He sits on the edge of the bed and he runs his hand through his hair as he takes a deep breath. The silence is the loudest thing you have ever experienced. 
Reaching up you push away the tears that were threatening to fall. 
“Is he okay?” He ask finally breaking the silence. 
Silently you nod your head. 
“You left without even telling me what was going on,” he says. 
“I’m sorry,” you say as your wrap your arms around your doughy stomach. 
“You left without letting me know anything because it was Sam. If it was dad or your mom you would of asked me to go with you,” you knew exactly where this conversation was going. 
“Dean called me saying he was dying, and I stopped thinking,” the tears started sliding down your cheeks. 
“Is Sam always going to be the person you’ll drop everything for?” 
You can’t even answer that question, because you know if something happens to Sam you’ll drop everything to go to him. 
He takes your silence as his answer. 
“Are you ever going to love me as much as you love Sam?” His tone is a mixture of sadness and anger. He’s sad because you’re breaking his heart, and he’s mad because you can’t let go of Sam. His question cuts you like a knife. 
With tears streaming down your face as you whisper, “I can’t lie to you. I do really love you, but I can’t lie to you.”
He stands and walks over to you. He rest his hand on your cheek and pushes away the tears that keep falling. “Okay that’s what I thought. So are you leaving me?”
Closing your eyes you whisper, “I guess I have to.”
NOW 
After dinner Kalen went out into the backyard to start a bonfire. You and Sam went to the guest room to grab a jacket. You sit on the bed watching as Sam looks through his bag. 
You aren’t sure you’ll ever get over how handsome your best friend is. 
He must feel you staring at him because he turns looks up at you and pushes his hair back. 
“Thank you for coming here with me,” you say. 
He walks over and sits down on the bed next to you. Leaning over you rest your head on his shoulder enjoying his closeness. 
“I’ll always support you,” he says reaching down and lacing his fingers with yours. 
You sit there for a few moments before you walk outside. You pull two chairs close to where Kalen has lit the bonfire. You walk over to the fridge by the back door and grab two bottles of beer. Twisting off the caps you walk back over to Sam and sit down next to him. Silently you both sit there watching the fire drinking your beer. You welcome the warm feeling of the fire. 
“I can’t believe I actually came here,” you say softly. You can’t believe you actually drove to Minnesota to see your mother. After all the heartbreak she’s caused you never expected to drive out to see her again. 
“I’m proud of you,” he reaches over and rest his hand on your thick thigh. His touch gives you butterflies. 
Before you can even say anything your mom and Kalen walk outside. They pull chairs up and sit on the other side of the fire together. 
Everything suddenly felt normal with your mom and it’s a strange feeling. You sit out there for about an hour with Sam before you both say goodnight. 
Sam heads off to the bedroom while you go to the bathroom to wash your face and brush your teeth. You get dressed for bed in a pair of shorts and an oversized shirt. 
Walking back into the room you find Sam shirtless lying in bed on top of the covers. You crawl into bed and Sam excuses himself to go brush his teeth. 
Laying in bed you get under the covers getting comfortable. A few minutes later Sam walks into the room. He gets under the covers and lays on his side so he’s staring at you. 
You had never wanted him to hold you more in your life. 
“This feels weird,” You say softly. 
He knits his eyebrows together and gives you a confused look before saying, “why is it weird?”
“Because we’re lying here just staring at each other.”
He lets out a soft chuckle and says, “would you prefer if we cuddle?”
You nod your head want for him to hold you desperately.
“Come here,” he pulls your chubby body close you his. He’s laying on his back and you’re basically on top of him. Your head is resting on his chest and your leg is resting on his stomach. Everything felt so right as he held you. 
“I don’t know what I would do with my life if I didn’t have you,” you say. He’s your sun and your stars and the world seems so dark without him. 
“I need you in my life,” he says before pressing his lips to the top of you hair. 
Your heart swells at the thought that he needs you just as much as you need him. 
Your eyes grew heavy and soon you drifted off to sleep being held by the man that’s your entire world.

our relationship is fine. as fine as an arranged couple's marriage should be.
i am currently sitting on the couch mindlessly staring at the television screen. looking at the clock from time to time it was already 10pm and baekhyun was still at work.
sighing at the thought of the food i cooked on the table going cold. i sat there for awhile now. even stopped checking the time since i know he'll be coming home past 12am as usual.
it was 2:14am when i heard the front door's knob jiggled and in came baekhyun. he looked tired. he been looking tired for the past few weeks, i noticed but every time i try to ask all of his answers are "nothing important".
staying silent as i watched him take off his shoes and come in through the living room to go towards the bedroom. not noticing me until he saw the television screen and trailed his eyes to me.
"hey baby, what are you doing up?" he questions tiredly though doing his best to give you a smile.
"couldn't sleep" i replied to him as i watch his face give i a pout as he retreats to the bedroom.
"i'd stay up with you, but work is tiring me out. good night" he yawns.
i hear him taking a shower before getting ready for bed. i stay on the couch though. still not being able to find the sleep ineed despite how tired and drained i've been feeling.
feeling how distant we both have gone. barely any time for each other. whenever we sleep together there is a gap. no longer feeling the warmth i crave.
and worst of it all. he hasnt told me i love you since our last anniversary dinner. which was a month or so ago. this has been going on for a month and i am fed up.
doesnt seem long but when you experience it, it feels like a year.
i dont know how long it had been until i heard noises in the room and out came baekhyun. in his usual work attire.
baekhyun sees me still on the couch and questions, "why didnt you come to bed last night?" why didnt you ask me earlier?
"can't sleep" i vaguely reply. looking over at the clock it was 5am.
he nods in reply and put on his shoes. leaving for work. no good bye kiss. no i love you. not even a single affection of some sorts. thats when i had enough.
planning to visit his work later after i freshen up and ready myself for whatever storm i have to face when talking to him about this.
getting up from the couch i went over to the bedroom and took my time to freshen up.
after putting some food in my system for the day ahead i headed out. the drive to his office was nerve wrecking for some reason.
arriving at the building i walked in. passing by the receptionist you gave her a smile. she instantly stood up and bowed giving you a grin.
walking through the offices there were a bunch of workers around about, not forgetting to greet you though. when you made it to baekhyun's office floor things seems to be eerily quiet.
too quiet and it was almost scary. his door was down the hall. his door was slightly ajar. not knowing if he was in his office or not you take a peek.
he was indeed in his office, but he wasn't alone. he is sitting on top at the front of his desk. arms crossed with his eyebrows furrowed while talking to someone.
i was going to leave and just wait for him to finish conversing with whoever he is with until the person made it's appearance.
she was dangerously close to him to be talking to him about some offer of a deal. she got even closer by caging him in his arms by putting her arms on both sides of him on his desk. their faces inches apart from where their lips can touch.
i was shocked, hurt, angry, every emotion you can get. not knowing what to do or if i should barge in, but my grabbed my phone out of my purse and quickly dialed a number.
before things could get worse between the pair in the room a ringtone broke the tension. though the phone kept ringing the both of them made no signs to move.
baekhyun turned his head to look at the caller id that was calling him. he was staring intently at his phone but not reaching out to pick it up.
i watched him stare at his phone, praying for him to pick up. even when the ring stopped he didnt move a muscle.
the woman grabbed his chin and turned his face over to meet her face again. a sly smirk made its way across her lips. everything turned silent after i hung up the call. not believing he stood your call, but is it shocking since he's been ignoring my calls for a while now?
"so" the lady sultry says, "everything could be over if you accept my offer" she purrs.
confusion flashed across my face. what could be over? what offer? i was confused, so mad, and so hurt i really wanted to burst in and stop them.
i was going to burst in until he leaned in. not wanting to witness what happens after she leans in i left.
walked through the building with tears streaming down my face. not caring if the workers saw.
finally, even though it felt like years, i made it out the building. going over to my car and got in. quickly driving home, away from the building, away from him.
when i made it home i just threw my body on the bed. everything hurts. my heart was literally broken. i am sobbing into my pillow.
thinking about how the past few nights i slept without his embrace. went on with day for the month without his love or affection. and now i knew why.
turning over on the bed to stare up at the ceiling i rose my left hand. staring at the promise ring he gave me a few months ago during our anniversary. now everything just seem like a joke.
i would of spent even more hours wailing then getting ready to leave him until i heard the front door slam. quick steps were approaching and there he was.
"baby" he says breathlessly. as if he ran all the way over here from his workplace. i stared at him for a moment before turning my attention back to the ceiling. the tears threatening to fall again.
i sniffed and thats when i felt the right side of the bed dip. his face coming to view.
"why didnt you tell me you were coming to visit me at work?" he questions softly, staring at you.
"even if i called, you didnt answer" i whisper then stared at him. letting him see how broken you are. how broken he made you.
he was lost for words. so what his coworkers were telling him were right. you were there. then you left. with tears.
"baby, i can explain. what you saw at my work was not wh-" he tries to explain to me, but i cut him off.
"please leave, baekhyun. i don't want to see you right now" i try to stay as calmly as possible. though i was anything but calm.
"baby please let me explain-" he desperately tries again, but i sat up. almost bumping our heads, making him move back slightly. i reached for my left ring finger and as quickly as i can, take it off then threw it outside our bedroom door
i was heaving. now tears have fell and baekhyun looked over at the door where the sound of a ring dropping is made. he looked at my face. with a painful, regretful, and saddened expression.
i didnt dare look at him though as i stare straight ahead waiting for him to leave. when i heard him get up to grab the ring i ran over to our bedroom door and closed it. locking it too.
knocks and yells were made on the other side of the door. i can hear him calling for me, crying in the process of trying to let him in, but i dont.
i cover my ears trying to block his cries as i cried. falling asleep in that position with him as the last thing on my mind.
the sound of the alarm woke me up. i went over to it and slammed the snooze button. checking the time it was 10am. Baekhyun should be out at work now. I thought as i got up.
i opened the door heading out of the bedroom until i stumbled across a body by the door. i was on the floor from tripping over baekhyun. he seem to be stirring awake from my clumsiness and we made eye contact.
i quickly got up on my feet to go back in the room and close the door, but baekhyun quickly grabbed me and wrapped his arms around my body.
i was thrashing in his arms. trying to get him to let go of me since i dont want to be anywhere near him. nonetheless touch by an unfaithful partner.
"let me explain, please" he sounded so broken. his voice was hoarse, probably from crying. but it just made you even angrier.
he held me tighter as long as it takes for me to calm down. when a minutes have passed and i have finally gave up in trying to escape, i let him hug me.
baekhyun takes this chance to explain what happened. clearing his throat, "i dont know when you came in yesterday and what you saw, but i assure you nothing happened" he says carefully.
i was lifeless. basically, he was holding my entire form together before i completely break apart.
sensing my silence he held me a bit tighter burying his head in my hair as he gently pressed kisses around. continuing, "that lady... she is one of my new partners in work. we hired her a few weeks before this whole thing started".
"she tried seducing me, tried countless of ways to get closer to me, but being the smart and loyal man i am i never gave in and i even called her out on it" he pulls away from you to cup your face.
"but that pissed her off.. she- she started messing with my paper works, my deals and partnership, i couldn't do anything, baby." his voice broke as he tried explaining for you to understand.
"i didnt know what to do. i told her i would fire her if she kept this up, but because she is the daughter of one of my most loyal partner...... she told me she would ruin me by telling lies with proof of fake documents i dont even know where she is getting it from" he is sobbing now. though a ton of bricks have finally lifted off his chest he was still scared.
i was still silent. taking in everything he had said, but one question is lingering in my mind that i hope is false.
"you said you never gave in to her foul play, right?" your voice so small baekhyun had to stop breathing just to hear. "then how come i saw the both of you kiss" you looked up at him, tears forming in your eyes at the memory.
"no no baby, she leaned in, but i assure you our lips did not touch. i pushed her away right when she leaned in. i knew she was going to do that, but i was waiting for her to do it so that if she does yell for help i can say that she was trying something on me without my consent." he explains, a bit too quickly for my brain, but i understand. i nod to him, my eyes casting downwards.
"even after all these explanations, i dont understand why you havent been giving me the love and affection i've been yearning for" i sniffed. heart hurting from all the pain. i look down tears wetting his suit.
"i'm so sorry, baby. for that reason... i just... i just couldnt bring myself to touch you, make love to you, or even say the three words because of how dirty things feel. i know i told you i did nothing with her, but i still felt dirty. im so sorry, baby" he is crying. trying his best to speak as he wraps his arms around you again. holding you tight.
understanding now you oat his back to calm him down. though the pain in your heart ceased a bit, it was still there.
"im- im so so- sorry, baby. for a- all the th- things i've put you through" he was hiccuping. the thought of how lonely and sad you mustve felt because of his cold actions towards you.
"let me make it up to you , baby. please i promise to be better . i promise to treat you better not do that ever again. " he says brokenly. cupping your face again as he pecks all over your face, but your lips.
"please, let me make it up for you, please" he desperately says while searching for your eyes.
you think for a moment. about everything he says. all the drama that happened and see how much shit he's been going through. although he should of told you about it he made it worse for himself.
baekhyun took your silence as a bad sign when he leaned his forehead onto yours. closing his eyes as he whispered, "baby, please forgive your shit of a boyfriend and let him treat you right. please" he opens his eyes at the last word to stare at your brown orbs.
"this is your only chance" you say before he swoops in and kisses you on the lips. the both of us meet each other head on. my arms finally wrapping around him to pull him closer as his arms trailed everywhere around you.
he picked me up and carry me over to the bed and laid me down. that night we spent reuniting with one another.
-
next morning came and the alarm rang for 10am. you woke up startled, but just laid there trying to back to sleep. you hear rustling on the other side of the bed as baekhyun turned off the alarm and wrapped his arm around your waist again.
confused by his action you turned over, "not going to work?" you questioned. while staring at his cute face. he shakes his head.
"i'll take care of whatever i need to take care of at home......... and that means firing that woman" he says before he made himself comfortable by snuggling closer to you.
i was a bit worried because of what baekhyun said she can do to him if he fires her, "but what about the lies she will do?"
"i'll face whatever bump it takes me and because i know and you know that i am innocent, that is enough" he smiles though his eyes are still closed.
not wanting to disturb him any further i fully turn to him and get closer to him. wrapping my arm around his torso. giving him a quick peck on his lips before closing my eyes to drift off again.

i could write it better than you ever felt it - nine
Tumblr media
A/N: quick fun fact -- the Cleveland storm did happen on the 2007 tour. there’s footage on YouTube of the backdrop getting ripped off by the wind if you’re interested. #research
summary: fuck growing up. this is freedom, this is life, this is youth – 2007 Warped Tour style.
warnings: Language, avoidance tactics, Catholic guilt
word count: 5.9k
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Shawn stirs, rolling onto his stomach. He lifts his pillow over his head.
Tap. Tap.
He sniffs and sighs. His pillow smells awful.
Tap. Tap.
He makes a snorting sound as he sits up to investigate. The van is hot and sticky, so the windows are fogged. He blinks slowly, acclimating to his awakeness.
The tapping sound seems to have stopped for the moment. Instead it’s replaced by a slender shadow leaning into the window for a peek. Shawn’s heart stutters. He sits forward on his bench to slide the van door open.
In a blast of muggy air and the familiar scent of citrus, Val is there, holding a pebble in one hand and a soccer ball in the other, looking apologetic.
“Can we talk?”
She waits for him patiently as he changes into shorts and sneakers, keeping her eyes low and her shoulders hunched. She spent most of the evening trying to wrangle either Bea or Raf to determine what exactly was said to Shawn -- it was Bea that finally cracked.
“You should talk to him,” Bea suggested breathlessly, laying a hand over Val’s. She was off in a hurry then, headed for her bunk to strategize so she could be ready when they arrived at the next stop.
She and Shawn walk in silence through the grounds in St. Petersburg, where they arrived caravan-style three hours ago. Shawn glances at the dim numbers on his tiny phone screen. It’s 2:14am. His heart sinks, remembering she can’t sleep without him.
“Cute stunt you pulled, with the pebble,” he mentions as they come up on a patch of grass under a street light, giving them enough illumination to kick the ball around.
Val swallows and attempts a shaky smile. “I figured I had to tread carefully after this morning.”
Shawn clears his throat and glances down at the scorched grass beneath them. He turns, hearing the thump of the ball hitting the ground.
“One on one?” she proposes, tossing her phone aside as she tips the ball in his direction.
He just nods, stopping the ball with his foot and nodding toward a fire hydrant several yards away. “That’s the other goal line.”
She agrees silently and starts skipping backwards on her toes as he jogs toward her, dribbling easily like he plays all the time even though he doesn’t -- he’s mostly been watching her play recently.
They’re silent aside from their heavy breath for a few minutes, warming up, volleying back and forth. Neither of them seem all that interested in scoring on the other. Something about kicking the ball between them, jogging around, stealing the ball away and back and back again, it’s comforting. Hypnotic, almost.
Val is startled into tripping over her own feet a little when he speaks.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
His head is down -- he’s concentrating on trying to toe the ball away from her. She lets it go so he can turn and head for her goal line. She jogs after him, prepared to let him score. He stops on a dime and turns just ahead of the fire hydrant. She almost smacks into his chest.
Val swallows. “It’s not supposed to matter.”
Shawn shakes his head incredulously, huffing, “Not supposed to. But it does.”
Val’s eyes slide shut. There it is.
The thing they’ve been dancing around, eyes shut and fingers tangled, avoiding together. It does matter to them, what happens when tour ends. They like to imagine it won’t, that they can pry apart and not each feel like they’ve somehow left something with the other, that they can continue on into the fall as planned.
“It matters,” Shawn restates weakly, kicking the ball to her.
Val stops it and makes a break for his goal line back the other way, scurrying quickly, hearing her pulse in her ears until she realizes he’s not following her. With the ball underfoot, she stops and turns to see him in the same spot with his hands on his hips.
“I think a part of me thought if I didn’t tell you about Oxford, neither of us would have to care what it meant.”
Shawn’s head lifts. He wanders toward the center of their little makeshift pitch. She follows his lead, leaving the ball behind.
“You’re going back to school,” Shawn states.
Val chews on her lower lip before answering, “I got into a very competitive art conservation program. I’ll be there for four years for my doctorate.”
Shawn blinks and in the fraction of a second his eyes are closed, he sees her bundled in a scarf, wisps of her hair (he imagines she’d wear it curly over there) floating in the misty weather as she walks along the river in a pair of sturdy boots. He’s not sure how exactly, because he’s only ever seen her in skinny jeans or tiny shorts and her vast collection of Vans, but this image feels completely… right. It’s almost painfully obvious.
“Yeah,” he breathes, overwhelmed by it for a moment, “That seems right.”
Val’s eyebrows lift. She’s not sure what he means but decides not to question it.
Shawn looks back down at her feet as they anxiously scuff the fraying grass.
“So that’s why you left Streets the first time. You want to be a conservator?”
Val bobs her head. “I wasn’t set on that path yet but I knew I wanted to go to school. I was always a little more academically inclined than Raf was. And I knew this wasn’t for me, this… the touring, the crowds, this life. It feels like… like maybe all this belongs to an older version of me. I wanted to come out this summer to be sure. I probably shouldn’t have -- I think maybe I gave Raf some false hope.”
“He didn’t want you to leave,” Shawn infers.
“I mean, I’m sure that’s not a secret. I just don’t know if people realize how much that changed everything. I think I really broke his heart,” she whispers, her voice cracking subtly.
Shawn heaves a sigh, planting his hands on his hips, staring up at a cloudless, starless sky. Val follows his gaze.
“I’m sorry,” she continues, “Because I should’ve known better than to start something I can’t finish.”
Shawn looks back down. Her nose twitches. The gentle breeze has her ponytail wrapping around her arm. She waits for him to react somehow.
With a single nod of his head, he turns away and heads back in the direction of the van. When he glances back, he watches the ponytail flick back and forth as Val dribbles the ball, practicing her footwork in silence.
+
There’s nothing like a hometown show.
Streets of Gold fans are out in droves. Raf wears a Colombian flag around all day like cape and speaks almost exclusively in Spanish, leaving Val in his wake to translate. On stage, he has the vim and vigor of a frontman on his first day of Warped Tour instead of one nearly a month deep in cold showers, dank, sweaty t-shirts and dirt. So, so much dirt.
When Raf is distracted like this, he’s easier to deal with. He doesn’t get on Val’s case, he doesn’t cling to Bea quite as heavily (and Val can tell because when he doesn’t, Bea bounces along after Val instead). Despite the events of the last 24 hours, things seem… normal.
Shawn studies from afar. Even he can’t resist the temptation of catching a Streets hometown show. Instead of watching the set with a hand in Val’s back pocket, singing what are often her own words back into her ear, he keeps a safe distance and plants himself by the Blessthefall merch booth, avoiding the prying gaze of Alex Gaskarth from a booth or two away.
Shawn thinks it’s probably good that Val and Raf are spending the evening with their family in Coconut Grove. If they were at the barbecue, Shawn might not be able to stop himself from doing something particularly stupid like walking up behind her, shrugging her into his arms and whispering that he’s heard from his mum that Oxford is beautiful and maybe she’d like a roommate?
Because the number of times he’s imagined that since he first heard the word “Oxford” tumble out of Rafael’s godforsaken mouth is… startling.
He’s doing the moody lead singer thing, perching on the bumper of the van with his acoustic and a notebook, staring at the sunset. The boys have largely left him alone today, sensing a disturbance in the force, and they’ve been distracted by their own success at having a record number of people crowd around the Smartpunk stage for them today.
They’re celebrating the way Shawn should be, getting wasted on the beach.
All except one.
Seth props himself up next to Shawn, lifting the notebook into his lap to keep from sitting on it, but he knows better than to flip through it or he’ll have a swallow-emblazoned fist aimed at his nuts. Shawn ignores him for as long as he possibly can but Seth will not be ignored, especially when he’s staring straight at him, unblinking.
“Yes?” Shawn sighs wearily, looking up from his bruised and battered guitar.
Seth lifts his eyebrows. “Start talking, dude.”
Shawn’s jaw goes tense for a moment. And then it falls open.
He tells Seth everything -- everything from Val and Bea and Raf, to Oxford, to the hotel night, to last night’s soccer date. It comes flying out of his mouth so easily in a way it wouldn’t when Shawn tried to sit and force it out in song. Seth listens to every word carefully, unflinchingly, taking it in.
Seth winces. “Yikes, dude. How long you been holding that in?”
Shawn nearly gasps for air at the end of his explanation. “Apparently too fucking long.”
Seth nods in agreement. “So… she’s leaving.”
A little piece of Shawn had hoped against hope that Seth would come out and say something inspiring like “love is love, it knows not of oceans or country borders, it can survive, follow your heart” or some bullshit. With his one weak statement, Shawn can see how it looks from the outside -- hopeless.
“She’s leaving,” Shawn breathes, annoyed with his visceral reaction, the tears in his eyes, for the girl he’s known for a month.
“This is so stupid,” Shawn chokes, pressing his palms against his eyes as he shakes his head, “It’s only been a few fucking weeks.”
“No it hasn’t,” Seth chuckles. That veil of wisdom that Seth lets cover his words sometimes is unfurled. Shawn looks over.
“It hasn’t only been weeks. C’mon. You’ve loved Valentina Moreno since you bought your first Streets album, flipped open the insert and saw her name as writing credit on every song. Man, you’ve been singing her words for years. You’ve loved her just as long.”
Shawn’s chest feels like it’s caving in. Seth has a way of saying things sometimes in just the right way, a way that really just gets him. Shawn suffers through another breath.
“Yeah,” he rasps, “I guess you’re right.”
Shawn chews on the inside of his pillowy lips and feels the heat of Seth’s gaze. He keeps his eyes down at his dusty Chucks, feeling the rhythm he was chasing down start to sing through his blood. He sniffs.
“I think what you have to decide now,” Seth begins, sighing like he’s weighed down by his own ever-present wisdom, “Is if you love her enough.”
+
Valentina stands outside St. Ezequiel Catholic Church in her mother’s pearls and an old pair of stilettos. She decided to walk the few blocks from her house to the church -- the suffering felt very Catholic.
She stalls. She glances down at her watch. Confession started 25 minutes ago, but she can’t get herself through the door. For one thing, Val hasn’t been inside a church since she was 12, the last time her grandparents visited from Bogota. She’s a little concerned she’ll burst into shameful flames the color of every one of the seven deadly sins.
But she needs to go in today. She’s been avoiding it. But today… there’s no more time.
You just have to go in. Just go inside, she reasons with herself, You can sit first and then when you’re ready, go into the confessional.
That’s enough motivation for now. She ascends the cement steps and walks inside. It’s dark and musty and the incense has her astral projecting back to the 90s which is just as unpleasant as it sounds. She dips her finger in the shell-shaped basin of holy water and makes the sign of the cross by memory, glancing around. For one thing, she’s over-fucking-dressed.
Woops. No swearing in church. Not even in your head, she scolds herself.
She gulps like a cartoon character and barely remembers to genuflect before she slides in to sit in a pew.
They haven’t changed the missals or the pamphlet designs. There’s something comforting in that. And also very Catholic.
Val chances a glance at the confessional. It looks empty on the parishioner side, but there’s a light behind the closed door where the priest sits.
Good, she thinks, he’s ready when I am.
Val eases down onto her knees and feels her pencil skirt protest. She wonders absently if the toes of her Jimmy Choos are scuffing on the brick floor. She winces and folds her hands, fighting to quiet her mind.
She looks up. Above the altar is an almost over-colorful mural of a Latino Christ overlooking the congregation, hovering above them with open arms, a quiet smile and pierced, bleeding hands. Val sighs.
“You poor bastard,” she breathes.
She closes her eyes. She recites the Hail Mary a couple times, then the Our Father, but she’s always liked the Hail Mary better. She had an affinity for Mary growing up.
She sucks on her top row of teeth and feels her eyes fill. Not anymore.
Five minutes pass. She calms herself down enough to wriggle to the confessional in her too-tight skirt. She closes the warped wooden door and sits.
“Hello, my child,” greets the priest in a thick Cuban accent.
“Forgive me father, for I have sinned,” Val chokes, “It’s been… many years since my last confession.”
The priest is silent. So is Val.
Apparently she’s silent for too long. He clears his throat to prompt her.
Val closes her eyes. She takes one long, slow, deep breath. She opens them.
She stands. She runs.
+
The Tour must roll on.
It’s their driver Hernan’s favorite thing to say when they hit a mid-tour rut, when the novelty is gone, when they feel sweaty no matter how many showers they take, when they’re all plotting to kill each other in their sleep.
And indeed it must go on. With radio silence from Shawn and an active avoidance of Bea and her brother, Val is left to focus on… her job.
She wakes up early every day and it’s easy because she doesn’t really sleep (not without him). She gets the booth set up by herself, unloads merch boxes with Greg and Naveen. She fields visits from the All Time Low boys, from Hayley and sometimes the NFG and Yellowcard guys. She checks out different sets, reminding herself why she’s here -- the kids.
The kids never disappoint her, not even when they’re brats waiting in line or throwing change at her so they can catch the next set or signing. She sees familiar faces, the kids that treat Warped Tour like summer camp, showing up every day in a new city to follow the high. She doesn’t really get that, but a version of her used to.
She loves them, though. She loves the way they scream lyrics instead of sing them, the way they wear all black in the dead of summer, the dreamy looks on their faces when they’re so caught up in a performance the mud beneath their feet, the hundreds of people squashing them don’t even matter. She envies that. She misses it.
The Tour rolls on to Cleveland on August 2nd. Less than a month remains and with each passing day, she becomes less and less convinced Shawn will talk to her again. He’s kept busy by the boys and by his ever growing fanbase. It seems every time she passes Smartpunk, there are more and more kids gathered, singing his words back to him, giving him everything he’s ever wanted. They’ve outgrown the stage threefold, but the tour is too tightly scheduled to move them, so their audience swallows up every merch tent and signing table in its radius.
It’s glorious.
So she doesn’t go anywhere near him.
+
There are whispers about bad weather rolling in, but as of set-up time in the morning, the sky is light and overcast, nonthreatening. Val preps the tent as usual and bounces on her toes behind the table as she hands out change and slings t-shirts. The air feels charged, filled with the kind of energy people look back on after a big day and realize it was a warning sign.
The storm hits, and it’s worse than expected.
Shawn is getting food when the wind and rain picks up. It comes on suddenly, the way these things often do. Before long, the services staff is ushering them inside and things start to feel a little more serious.
“There are so many kids out there,” Shawn mutters, shaking his head as he watches some run for cover and some hustle inside to hide out with the growing mass of people. Seth hops up on his tiptoes to look over Francis’s head. He swears in agreement.
There’s paper everywhere, flying around in little tornados, kicking up smashed plastic water bottles and fallen flip flops. Shawn winces when a tree branch comes down, narrowly missing a merch tent that’s fighting to stay pinned into the ground.
There’s a commotion behind them. Shawn, squashed between dozens of people now, is tall enough to look over some heads. He spots the Streets band and crew. All but one.
Raf somehow feels Shawn’s eyes and meets them frantically.
“Val was at the tent!” he cries over the chatter around them.
Seth watches Shawn take off like a shot, slicing through twenty or so people to get to the door, wrench it open, and sprint out. He flattens his lips into a firm smile and nods in understanding.
But Shawn is long gone. He crosses yards like feet, using the full length of his legs to charge toward where he spotted the Streets tent on the venue map this morning.
His mind is blank -- it ignores the messages his body screams. It doesn’t register the lashing of rain against his face or the sudden tearing and overuse of cold muscles in every inch of his body. It only barely registers the flipping merch table that he leaps over like Indiana fucking Jones because it would slow him down and he can’t slow down.
He rips up the hill past groups of teenagers huddled under trees and crouching behind sturdier merch tables. As he runs past the amphitheater housing the main stage, he hears a mixture of terrible screams and adrenaline-pumped cries of wonder as the backdrop for Alkaline Trio’s set tears away and slaps itself in the wind. He keeps going.
The problem is he can’t really see. As he nears what he thinks was the tent’s location, he slows to a jog, squinting into the sideways rain to try to make out lettering on what’s left of merch tables and tents. Just as he’s about to give up and make a run for her bus to see if she’s there, he spots her.
She’s kneeling beside her tent shoving the table skirt into an enormous plastic box. Her brow is furrowed, her hair is wild and swinging around her face. She looks entirely unbothered by the idea of her own safety, merely annoyed that the storm is interrupting her day.
Shawn’s heart squashes into his ribs like it’s trying to peek through them and see her for itself. He grunts and follows its direction, hurrying up to grab her arm.
She looks shocked to see him, which hurts a little but not enough to focus on right now. He tries to pull her to her feet but she stays put.
“What the fuck are you doing? We have to go!” he cries, barely audible over the howling wind.
Val opens her mouth and a crack of thunder covers her words, proving Shawn’s point. He pulls at her harder.
“This shit’s going to be ruined! I’m not afraid of rain, Shawn, I’m from Miami!” she yells back petulantly.
Shawn is half a heartbeat away from slinging her over his shoulder like a fireman and hauling her back to her bus himself but the weather beats him to the punch and gives them pebble sized hail to contend with.
“Dammit!” Val cries, finally relenting. She stands, hunched with her arms over her head and leads the way to her bus at a clip that could rival Shawn’s.
Shawn’s glad she knows where she’s going because he can’t see shit. He doesn’t see the bus until they’re almost on top of it and by that time, the hail has grown to the size of ping pong balls.
Val throws the door open and jumps inside, whirling around when Shawn slams it behind them. To his surprise, he has to catch her by the arms as she lurches toward it like she’s trying to leave again.
“Where’s my brother? Where’s my band?” she cries, ready to Wonder Woman herself to get to them. Shawn holds her fast.
“They’re all fine. They’re inside by the main gate. Your band and crew and mine. I saw them,” he pants, willing her to look from the door into his eyes. She does and softens.
“Jesus Christ,” Val breathes, sagging in his grasp, closing her eyes for a moment.
Shawn swallows and looks around. The bus is empty. He drops his hands from around her biceps and lifts his eyebrows.
“Not afraid of rain, Moreno?”
Her eyebrows pull in as she frowns at him and crosses her arms over her dripping t-shirt. “Well it was just fucking rain until you brought the hail with you.”
Shawn snorts. “Sure. I brought the hail. Like I’m fuckin’ Snow Miser.”
Val rolls her eyes and chuckles, dropping her arms. She plops onto the leather couch with a squelch and winces.
“Ew.”
Shawn grins and offers her a hand. “You’re gross.”
Val stands and waits for him to drop her hand. He doesn’t.
+
Val rifles through Raf’s stuff for passably clean sweats and a t-shirt for Shawn because the bus starts to feel really cold with the AC inside and the drop in temperature outside. They dry off and change, using the bathroom in turns, and regroup in the front lounge to watch the storm batter the bus.
“God, I hope no one gets hurt,” Val whispers, curling up against the arm of the sofa with her chin perched on the windowsill.
Shawn sits beside her, absently dropping a throw pillow over her bare feet because he knows they get cold.
“It looked like venue security had a pretty good handle on it. The amphitheater is mostly covered, too.”
Val nods, staring out the window. Shawn watches her long lashes lift and close, watches her fingers beat out a rhythm against the leather like every drummer he’s ever known. He watches as her hair starts to dry into curls against her back.
“I’ve missed you,” he hears himself say.
It gets her attention. Her warm, dry lips part. He licks his.
“Missed you too,” she replies.
Shawn reaches out with cold fingers and tucks a lock of hair behind her ear. “Want to drive with me to Camden tonight?”
“Yes please.”
+
Shawn willfully ignores all the questioning looks he gets from his band and crew when Val arrives with a backpack and a kiss on his cheek for the overnight drive.
The storm stopped not too long after it started. A few people had minor injuries, but no one, tour members or tour-goers, was seriously hurt, and for that everyone was grateful. The rest of the afternoon was spent plucking tents out of trees and chasing down errant folding chairs. A lot of the kids stayed to help their favorite bands and crews clean up. It was kind of nice.
But the Tour must roll on.
They’re due in Camden, New Jersey tomorrow and it’s an eight hour drive. As it happens, it’s Shawn’s turn to make the overnight voyage. He sleeps through the barbecue in preparation so Val stashes some food for him and makes him a thermos full of coffee on her bus (the good Colombian Volcanica stuff).
As Val settles into the passenger seat passing out cold empanadas her mom sent her back to tour with after the Miami stop, Francis lingers by Shawn, watching him load the last merch box back into the trunk. Shawn ignores him as long as he can until Francis is basically stepping on his toes, he’s standing so close.
Shawn sighs and flicks his tongue at his lip ring. “What?”
“Nothing,” Francis insists.
“Fuck off,” Shawn grumbles.
“No, but really, she brought us snacks. What’s… going on?” Francis chuckles, his eyes going wide like he plans to absorb the gossip through them.
Shawn really hates that he doesn’t have an answer. He shrugs weakly, averting his eyes.
Francis shakes his head, claps Shawn on the shoulder. “Dude.”
He saunters away, settling into his van bench for the evening. Shawn sniffs, scuffs his shoe against the pavement and lifts a hand to straighten his backwards Leafs hat. He allows himself one deep sigh before tucking himself into the front seat beside her and starting the engine.
+
The I-76 is a long, quiet road this time of night. The boys have gone to sleep in the back in a chorus of snores and mid-sleep mumbles. Shawn keeps his eyes on the road and snacks on the empanadas she hid for him, groaning after every bite.
“These are so fucking good,” he mumbles, licking some spice off his lips before diving in for another. Val giggles.
“They’re the only reason I go home anymore,” she sighs.
Shawn glances over. “You’re not close with your parents?”
She shrugs. “Not particularly. I love them, they’ve given me everything I’ve ever needed and most of the things I’ve ever wanted, but when Raf and I started down this path, they couldn’t understand it. They’ve… never actually seen a Streets show.”
Shawn’s eyebrows lift and his jaw stills mid-chew. “Really?”
“Nope. They wanted it to be a phase we grew out of.”
Shawn swallows and refocuses on the road as they pass signs for Pittsburgh. “Well, they must be happy about Oxford then.”
Val picks at her cuticles. “They’re pleased.”
Shawn jams another half an empanada in his mouth. Val watches with a flat smile.
“What about your parents?” Val hums, looking for a pivot.
“They’re kinda psyched, actually,” he answers proudly, trying to tamp down a goofy smile at the thought of his family. He glances over for her reaction. If she’s disappointed to hear about the difference between her family and his, she doesn’t show it.
“They’ve been waiting for me to find this for a while,” he explains, “I bounced around between different bands, and it was never right. I felt like the only one taking it seriously. And then Seth and Francis found me through a friend. First day I sat down with them I think I knew it.”
Val smiles wistfully. “That’s a good feeling.”
“The best,” he agrees, “I wish everyone could feel that, whatever they’re doing. Everyone deserves that kind of… security, I guess. That they’re in the right place doing what they’re meant to do.”
Val sinks her teeth into her bottom lip thoughtfully, feeling like her heart is sliding sideways in her chest just to be closer to him. She settles her cheek against the headrest and turns to watch him.
He looks tired. His hair is frizzy and his eyes look a little cold and his muscles are tense. She wonders if he’s been getting as little sleep as she has.
“It’s a lot though,” she breathes.
Shawn’s lips twitch. “Yeah.”
It’s quiet for a few moments while Val collects her words.
“The first time we headlined a show larger than a basement was in Toronto, did you know that?”
Shawn looks surprised. Val grins at the memory.
“Raf threw up for about an hour straight before the start. It was the first stop of our tour after releasing Two Sides to Every Story. We were such a fucking wreck. I broke like three pairs of sticks I was playing so hard. We were all so, so desperate to keep these people in front of us, to make them love us. We needed them so bad. We didn’t actually figure out the secret for months, nearly at the end of the tour.”
Shawn blinks. “What secret?”
“That they’re not there to see you play harder than you’ve ever played, or sing better than you’ve ever sung. They already came to the gig for you, you already have them. They’re there to be with you, just for a night. They found you, they love you. You bring them hope every time you get up there and do what you do. You don’t need to do it any better. You’ve already helped.”
Shawn feels a well that’s been building since they released Joy Ride. It’s been filling and filling and he can’t find the bottom anymore. It’s a cloudy mixture of crippling fear, anxiety, adrenaline, pride, excitement and fucking exhaustion. Val shines a light straight through it.
He turns his head to find the warmth of her big brown eyes. Val remembers what the bottom looks like. She’s been there.
“What happens now?” he croaks.
“Now you stay on the ride. That’s all.”
Shawn lowers his eyes until he feels her fingers curl around his cheek. It warms under her hand before he turns his head to plant a kiss on her palm. He takes her hand in his and holds it in his lap for a few minutes until she speaks again.
“Made you something.”
He’s reluctant to let her hand go again because his blood pressure feels normal again when he’s touching her but he releases her to root around in the backpack at her feet.
She holds up a plastic CD case with a shy smile.
“Did you make me a mix?” he laughs with delight.
“Shush, this is what scene kids do when they feel things.”
Shawn giggles and goes pink all over, rubbing his free hand against his neck. When the first song begins, he looks over with a smile.
“Sugar We’re Goin’ Down. Subtle choice,” he jokes.
“Shhhh, it’s against my religion to talk while Patrick Stump sings.”
He looks over to see her eyes shut and lips spread in a grin. He laughs and bobs his head reverently.
Fifteen minutes in, Val’s asleep. He’s too curious to help it, so he checks the track listing she wrote out in her serial killer handwriting on the plastic on the back.
Sugar We’re Goin’ Down - Fall Out Boy
The Girl’s a Straight-Up Hustler - All Time Low
Only One - Yellowcard
Miami - Taking Back Sunday
On Top of the World - Boys Like Girls
The Future Freaks Me Out - Motion City Soundtrack
It’s Not Your Fault - New Found Glory
Punk Rock Princess - Something Corporate
Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off - Panic! At the Disco
Jump - Simple Plan
He sighs and puts the case in the center console, reaching over to leave his hand on her knee in case that helps her stay asleep longer. He mouths along with Ryan Key’s words, staring out the windshield.
There’s just no one that gets me like you do, you are my only, my only one.
+
Hayley stuffs her vibrant, telltale hair under her Streets beanie and snarls teasingly at Val’s laughter.
“You are so not getting away with this,” Val snorts, trailing beside her toward the Lucky 13 main stage to catch New Found Glory’s 4pm set, the highlight of the day.
“It’ll be fine,” Hayley insists, eyes shifting as the crowd around them thickens.
“You’ll be spotted in the next five minutes, I’d put money on it.”
Hayley scoffs. “Stop it. You said you wanted to come with me.”
“Yeah! Because you’re 5’2” and 100 pounds soaking wet. You need a fuckin’ bodyguard,” Val argues, slinging an arm around her petite friend.
“Chad… said I should come today,” Hayley mumbles.
Val’s eyes go wide. “Chad? Asked you to come watch the set?”
“Well… like… not exactly. He said I should come “check it out,” whatever the fuck that means.”
Val coos. “That is so sweet. I’m so glad I get to witness this. Can we go sidestage after so you can blush down at your feet and tell him he plays guitar real good?”
“Ok, we’re done talking about this now!” Hayley squeaks earnestly. Val pins her lips shut and mimes zipping them, sniggering through flared nostrils.
They filter in toward the back of the crowd that’s been planted at main stage all day. New Found Glory is one of the sets to catch on Warped -- full of relentless energy from a band that’s been around the block and knows how to put on a stunning show.
Val’s only caught them a few times over the course of Warped, and only from sidestage with Bea. Being in the crowd with the kids, screaming the words and passing sweaty crowdsurfing teenagers over her head is the real way to experience a pop punk show. So when Hayley invited her along, she leapt at the chance.
By some miracle, Hayley stays under the radar. She and Val bop along, dancing and singing and flinging their hands in the air and Val connects with a version of herself she hasn’t seen in a while, a girl that can name every Green Day song ever produced, a girl that lived every day just to get home and hit her drums, a girl for whom music changed everything.
She’s letting the final chords of Better Off Dead carry her off, tilting her head back, eyes closed and smiling at the sky when it starts.
“Hey!” Hayley calls from behind her, smashed up into her shoulder, “Val, I think--”
They didn’t realize what was happening until it was too late. The yahoos surrounding them have drawn the crowd out, dragging people to face each other to leave space between them. Val recognizes a wall of death when she sees one. She grabs Hayley’s hand and yanks her, trying to drag them out from the line of fire, but they’re shoved back into place.
“Let us out!” she cries, feeling it build, feeling the energy of the morons pinning them in start to fizzle dangerously.
“Hayley!” Val shrieks, reaching out for her elbow for a sturdier grasp. She can’t get there, and the tension snaps. Teenagers sprint into each other at full speed, shoving and pushing and knocking into each other.
Val squints under some guy’s arm to see Hayley’s beanie get knocked off. The cocktail of red and orange dye is the last thing she sees before everything goes dark.
Help save the scene and buy me a ko-fi!

I Thought You Said That You Knew How to Bake?!
Word Count: 2051
A/N: Hey guys! Guess who’s back in time for spooky season?! I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted something like this, but I finally got some inspiration and decided to whip this up. As always, if you have any criticism for me, please send it in. Also, I’m taking requests, so send those in, too! Lastly, the reader and Peter are 18/19 in this fic. Enjoy!
*** Checking my phone for the millionth time that night, I saw the exact same response I had every other time, which was absolutely nothing. You see, I had planned a date with my boyfriend, Peter, and yet again our plans had fallen through due to his never-ending duties as Spiderman. He told me that he would let me know how his latest mission had gone as soon as he could, but not a word had been heard from him within the three and a half hours that he had been gone.
Soon enough, I decided that I couldn’t just sit and wait for him to come back, he would do that when he could. I needed to find something to do to take my mind off of him being gone. After some internal debate, I ended up calling my older sister, Olivia, to see what she was up to.
“Hello?” I heard her familiar voice pick up after three rings. She sounded tired, to say the least.
“Hey! Just calling to check in. How’s everything going?” I asked, happy to be talking to her again. It was hard to find time to catch up ever since she had her daughter, Mia. Don’t get me wrong, I love Mia to the moon and back (she is my niece, after all), but kids were time consuming, so these moments were rare. I flopped down onto the red pull-out sofa that resided in my living room, hanging my legs over the side.
“Oh, things are fine. I’ve been up all night trying to figure out how to make these freakin’ pies for Mia’s fall bake sale tomorrow, but I can’t stop messing it up. I’ve literally tried doing this about a dozen times with no successes.” She replied, and I could already hear the frustration in her voice. I pulled my phone away from my ear to check the time. It was already 2:14AM. It was a lot later than I thought it was.
“I’ll tell you what.” I began, coming up with an idea that would help my sister and give me something to do. “I’m waiting up for someone and looking for something to do. I can bake those pies for you and you can get some sleep. Plus, I’m pretty sure I have most, if not all, of the ingredients at my apartment already.”
“Oh no, you don’t have to do that. I’ve got it handled.” She denied, perking up a bit.
“Olive, dude, I insist. I’m good at baking, and can have this done in a couple of hours. I’ll be sure to drop them off before you take Mia to school. Please?” I pushed, wanting her to say yes.
“Alright, alright, you can do it. I owe you one.” She surrendered. “I do need those by 7:00 tomorrow morning, though.”
“Yes, ma’am.” I teased, saluting her, even though I knew nobody could see.
We said our goodbyes and I hung up the phone, springing up off of the couch. I made my way into the kitchen, googling what I would need to do this, and it appeared that I had everything that I needed.
Except the sugar. Of course.
I had forgotten that I had lended it to my neighbor, Ellen, and she had never given it back. I wasn’t about to ask for it back, as it was still 2:00AM, and I wasn’t going to wake up an elderly woman, as she was in her late seventies, early eighties, just to ask for my sugar back. I just decided to walk to the nearest corner store, as it was only a few blocks from my apartment complex. Plus, I like nighttime walks, especially during this time of year. New York was crowded, yes, but it was gorgeous this time of year.
I exited my apartment building, and I immediately felt the autumn breeze blowing softly against my face. It was a welcomed change from the sweltering summer heat. My black heeled boots were loud as they hit the concrete sidewalk, but aside from the chirping crickets, it was the only sound to be heard for miles, so I didn’t mind. It was relaxing, really. The only lights around were the street lights scattered around the area, illuminated the path.
A smile crept onto my face when I looked at the trees. One of my favorite parts of autumn was seeing the changes in nature. In this case, it was the leaves that were turning a yellow-orange and falling onto the ground, some being swept away by the wind, and some staying where they were.
I walked for a few more minutes, before reaching the corner store. It had a homey feeling to it, probably since I had been going there since middle school. It was run by an older man, his name was Kenny, who used to be a father figure to me and Olivia and good friends with my mother. Speaking of, even though we only lived about ten minutes away from each other, I hadn’t seen my mom since I moved out to attend college. I tried contacting her for a while, but after she refused to answer time and time again, I gave up. I guess our relationship wasn’t as good as I had once thought it to be.
But that’s besides the point. I made my way to the back of the store, to where most of the baking supplies were kept. I grabbed a bag of sugar and made my way to Kenny, who was working the cash register.
I set the sugar on the counter before greeting him fondly. “Hey, Kenny! It’s been a while. How are you doing?”
“I’ve been doing good, darling. How about you? It’s awful late for you to be out doing some shopping.” He replied, sounding curious. “Also, that’ll be $2.99.”
“Mia has got a bake sale tomorrow and I offered to bake the pies she needs, since Olivia was having trouble with it.” I explained, pulling the cash out of my pocket and handing it to Kenny.
“Gotcha.” He nodded, handing me a bag with the sugar in it. “You have a good night, alright? And call me if you need anything.”
“I will. Have a good night, Ken.” I smiled, walking out of the shop and making my way home.
I entered my apartment, kicking my shoes off to the side and making my way into the kitchen. I was pulling the ingredients out of my cabinet when I heard three sharp knocks against my window making me jump, dropping the wrapped stick of butter. I yelped out of fright and I whipped around to see Peter, clinging onto the window of my apartment, sending me a wave.
I sighed in relief upon seeing that it was just him. “Goddamnit, Peter. I swear, that boy is going to be the death of me.” I mumbled before opening the window to let him in.
“Hey, (Y/N).” Peter greeted, taking his mask off and kissing me, which I gladly returned, cupping his cheek.
“Hey, you. I’m pretty sure you left a spare outfit over here the last time you stayed over. They’re in my room, if you want to get out of that suit.” I offered, smiling brightly at him.
He thanked me, beginning to walk to my room, but stopping in his tracks to face me. “Look, (Y/N), I’m really sorry we had to cancel again. But, Mr. Stark called me, and he had a lead on that guy who was dealing whatever was left of his old weapons.”
“Pete, I get it. You’re a superhero and have other commitments to handle. If saving lives takes priority over us going out for a date, trust me, I’ll understand. Now, go get your ass out of that suit and come help me with this.” I replied.
“With what?” He asked, an eyebrow raising in curiosity.
“You’ll just have to wait and see, won’t you?” I teased, grinning at him before picking up the previously forgotten stick of butter off of the cold kitchen tile. “Thank God it was still wrapped.” I mumbled to myself, laughing quietly.
After a few minutes, I had everything out on the counter and Peter reentered the kitchen wearing his baggy, grey sweatshirt and a pair of black sweatpants, and his hair was messy, sticking up in various places.
“Now that I’m changed, will you please tell me what you need help with?” He whined, obviously plagued with the need to fulfill his curiosity as to what he needed to do.
“Well,” I began, reaching up and tucking his soft, brown lock back into place. “I called Olivia about an hour ago and Mia has her fall bake sale tomorrow. I offered to help her out by baking a couple of pies for them to take to Mia’s school tomorrow morning. And it just so appears that I need an assistant. You up for the challenge?” I asked, moving my hands down onto his hips.
“Yes, Chef (Y/N), I am. I’ve been told I’m pretty good at baking, so I’m pretty sure we’ve got this in the bag.” He agreed, looking at my laptop, which was currently residing on the counter with the recipes pulled up. “Okay, so the first step is to add the flour and the salt.”
“Oh, I’ve got the flour right…” I trailed off looking for the unopened bag of flour. “here!” I tried opening the bag, but I wasn’t able to. It was as if it was superglued together. Weird. “Hey babe, I can’t get this bag open. Can you?” I asked, holding it out to him.
“Oh yeah, of course.” He took the bag from me and he pulled the edges apart with all his might, apparently forgetting that he had super strength. As a result, the bag tore open, exploding all over him and my kitchen.
I began to cackle at the scene before me. My boyfriend looked like he was caked in snow, his mouth gaping open in shock as to what he’d just done. “Oh my God!” I cried in between laughs. “I thought you said you were good at baking?!” I teased.
He didn’t respond, although a devilish grin filled his features as he stood up and walked towards me. “Come on, (Y/N), can I please have a hug?” He asked, feigning innocence.
“Peter Benjamin Parker, I swear, if you get any of that flour on me, you will be sleeping on that couch for the rest of your days.” I threatened, backing away from him. Before I knew it, he began chasing me through the apartment. Eventually though, I was cornered. There’s only so far you can run in a one-bedroom apartment, after all. Peter took this opportunity to pick me up and pull me to him, covering me with flour, as I struggled to escape his grasp.
“Damn it, Peter.” I grumbled, playfully. “Now not only are we covered in flour, but so is my entire apartment. I hope you enjoy sleeping on that couch.”
“Okay, so maybe I’m not so good at baking, but I will vacuum your apartment if you don’t banish me to the couch. Do we have a deal?” He offered, still carrying me.
“Fine, I suppose that will work.” I grinned, ignoring his hand, instead pulling him in for a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck to deepen this kiss, even though I knew I was just getting more flour on my clothes. Eventually, I pulled away, getting back onto the ground. “But first, you are taking a shower, mister. I don’t need more flour in this damn apartment.”
“Yeah, maybe that’s a good idea.” He agreed, making his way to my bathroom, although stopping in the doorway. “What about you? Don’t you want to join me? I mean, you are also covered in flour.” He offered, shooting me a seductive look.
“Not this time, Spidey. Thankfully, most of it is on my clothes, so I’ll be okay if I change. Maybe next time.” I winked at him before turning back to my bedroom, to hurry up and get changed. I still had a bunch of pies to make for a five year old, after all.

Y/N POV 
8:14am. I was already late. 
To make matters worse, I hadn't had my morning coffee yet, so I was tired and ready to snap. 
I walked briskly down the reasonably busy sidewalk. The Autumn air was crisp and sharp, a slight wind blowing against my cool face. I had a loose scarf around my neck to fight off the cold and look stylish while doing it. 
I checked my watch again, only to find that time hadn't unwound for me. I was still late. 
My sister had been out late last night and had woken me up multiple times during the night, calling me every hour. And she wasn't quiet coming back home either. It was 2am when she crashed through the door, waking me from the short doze I had since the last time she disturbed me. I had decided to help her get into bed, so that it was faster and quieter, giving me more time to sleep. That didn't work in with her plans though. It took an hour and a half to get her ready for bed, and another hour to get her to finally fall asleep. Falling back into bed at 4:30am, I was knackered. I was so tired that when my alarm started blaring at 7am, I slept through it. It wasn't until 7:55am when my sister woke me, complaining about the screaming alarm clock and her pounding headache. 
I had jumped out of bed, chucked on clothes, deodorant and shoes, grabbed my purse that contained my work badge, my money and house keys, and rushed out the door. 
I worked at a cute bookstore which i had visited so often that they offered me a job. It was the perfect holiday job while school was out. I started at 8am and worked until closing time at 6pm. I did this Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, although it would vary. 
Except it was a Monday, past 8am, and I wasn't at work. Because I was getting later by the second. 
I looked down at my watch once again, as if this would slow time down. 
All it did was slow me down. Even further. 
Because I wasn't looking where I was going for approximately 7 seconds, I slammed into someone going in the opposite direction. 
I got soaked with hot liquid that had spilt from the other persons takeaway cup. Well, at least I got my coffee. 
I let out a sound of disgust, stumbling backwards. The other person caught me by the arms, preventing my fall. I looked up, about to give them an earful about watching where they were going when I saw who had hit me. 
He looked like he was around my age, tall, and super handsome. His beautiful chocolate brown eyes stared down at me with concern, he had an apologetic smile on, giving him a dimple on his left cheek, and his brown hair was adorably curly. I promptly closed my mouth. 
"I am so so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going! Lost in my thoughts. Are you okay?? Did I hurt you? Oh god, I spilt coffee all over you! I am incredibly sorry. Shit, did it burn you?" He searched my face with concern, biting his lip. 
I managed a smile and shook my head. 
"No no, it's fine! I wasn't looking either, checking my watch, I was. I’m okay, are you? Don't worry about the coffee, I hadn't had my morning one anyways! It's mostly on my clothes so it doesn't burn. I would buy you a new one since I'm wearing all of yours, but I'm actually in a rush. I'm late to work, you see..." I talked fast, annoyed that I would have to cut the conversation off short. 
His eyes widened and he went into another round of apologies. 
"Oh, jeez, you're late! I am so sorry! I've made you even later. Don't worry about me, just go! I'm so sorry about this!" 
I shook my head, smiling. 
"Nah, it's okay. It's not your fault, but I really have to be going. Sorry about your coffee!" I waved goodbye and hurried off. 
He nodded and waved goodbye to me. 
"Goodbye! Have a nice day at work! Sorry, again" he called after me. 
After I had arrived at work at 8:28am, explained to my boss why I was late, showing him my coffee soaked clothes as proof, and started shelfing books, I realised I was incredibly fortunate to have been running late, for if I hadn't been, I never would have run into the cute stranger who spilt coffee over me. 
The thought of his eyes and his smile made my day a lot brighter, despite the horrible start. All day, I thought about him and how we would probably never meet again, much to my sadness.
Every time the bell would ring, signalling a customer entering the shop, I looked up hopefully, wondering if, by some miracle, he'd found where I worked and come to see me. Of course, it was never him that walked through the door. It was obsessive and unhealthy, and I knew that, but that didn't stop me from glancing up from the counter when the trill of the bell sounded. 
For some reason, I couldn't get him out of my head. Even after several days had passed with no sign of him, he was still lingering in my mind, and stuck in my heart with a pinch of hope. 
I tried my best to dismiss the thought of his brown curly hair, his sparkling brown eyes, his cute smile.... but no matter what I tried, he remained in my heart and mind, much to my disgust. 
It was now Saturday, and I had managed to push the thought of the cute - coffee spilling - stranger to the back of my mind where it lingered. I had been asked to come in for a few hours today, to cover for another coworker, and I had willingly agreed with nothing better to do. 
My coworker finally showed up for her shift at 2:30pm, freeing me. I decided to head for my favourite cafe, where they made the best coffee (in my opinion), where I could read my book with an afternoon coffee. 
I wrapped my scarf around my neck, shoved my hands in my deep pockets, and started walking into the sharp whistling wind and towards the cafe. 
Today was particularly cold, so I spent no time taking in my surroundings as I usually did. Not even the coldness of the air biting my exposed skin could stop me scanning the bustling crowd of people, all with their own destinations in mind, for that familiar, yet unfamiliar face. I had only seen it once, but I saw it many times after, in my mind. 
I kept my pace up, turning my head to curiously look at the many faces of the city. People watching was one of the great things of living in such a busy city. There were thousands of people, all with different life stories, backgrounds, thoughts and experiences. It fascinated me. You could be walking down the street and see an elderly man in a very formal suit, and a teenage girl with spiky green hair, tattoos and leather clothing could be a few short steps behind him, travelling in the same direction in a weird coincidence. 
I reached the glass door, with the vine, flower and coffee bean logo, and something nagged at me. Why, after the many, many trips to the cafe, had the familiar logo pulled at something in the very far retches of my mind? I shook my head and pushed the door open, instantly greeted by the high pitched ring of the bell above me, the flood of warmth, the chatter of other customers, and the smell of caffeine and sugary sweet pastries baking. I took a deep breath in and sighed happily. 
Letting the door close behind me, I unwrapped my scarf, stuffed it in my bag, and started weaving my way through the people. The cafe was busier than usual, it was a popular place and in the cold weather everyone had gone seeking the warmth of coffee and baked goods. 
I made my way to the back of the long line leading up to the counter. 
I peered past the person in front of me, to see about ten people fidgeting restlessly in front of me. 
Confirming my suspicions of having to wait a while, I dug through my bag and grabbed out my phone. I aimlessly scrolled through tumblr as the line progressively got shorter. The people in front of me slowly broke off as they placed and received their orders, while additional people were always coming to the back of the line.
It was the guy-in-front-of-me's turn, so I quickly stowed my phone away. 
He was dark skinned, with broad shoulders and very toned muscles that he didn't even have to flex to prove their worth. He wore glasses and a simple white shirt and jeans. 
I peered behind me to see an older lady who was of Japanese descent, by the looks of the strokes of the characters printed onto her wrinkled skin. That, and the fact she was carrying a Japanese to English translation book, pointed me in the direction of her ethnicity. 
I smiled at her, embarrassed, realising I was staring. She smiled back kindly. I was about to open my mouth when I was brought back to the task at hand. 
"Next please." Called an ever so slightly irritated voice. 
I turned back to the teenage boy at the counter and smiled sheepishly. 
"Sorry... um, can I please get a chocolate mocha and a Danish pastry please?" 
The boy nodded and wrote everything down before ringing it up on the cash register. 
"That will be $9.50. Your name please? And will you be having it here or to takeaway?" 
I quickly handed him the money, awkwardly putting the change back in my wallet, worried about holding up the queue. 
"Oh, ah, have here, thanks. And my name is Y/N." I spelt it out to him before making my way over to the group of people who were also waiting for their orders. 
"Y/N?" A voice called out, the owner of said voice looking around questioningly. 
I muttered 'excuse me's as I made my way up to the counter. I quickly thanked the girl and grabbed my tray, bee lining for one of the only spare tables I could see. 
I made it there just before a teenage couple. The girls face turned up in disgust, stomping away with her girlfriend trailing behind quietly, pulled along by their entwined hands. I shrugged apologetically and sat. 
I ate my danish first, glad of the soft, warm pastry filling my mouth. 
Lifting the coffee cup up, I tentatively took a sip of the hot liquid, not wanting to burn my mouth. I put it back down, wanting it to cool a bit further. 
Something tugged at the back of my mind again, as I looked at my coffee and the cup it was in. There was something I couldn't put my finger on, and it was starting to really bug me. 
Simply shrugging, I pulled out my current read out of my bag; John Greens latest book. I quickly fell in between the pages, getting lost in the story. 
Tuning out the bustling cafe was easy, despite the constant noise of chatter, coffee cups, plates, and spoons clanking against each other, the bells at the counter and on the door, and the familiar sound of the coffee machine. 
I had gone through several chapters steadily, the outside world blocked out, when there was a commotion that caught my attention. 
I turned and looked just in time to see a women get accidentally shoved into a guy walking past my table. The two hit each other and bounced off; the women into a man who managed to catch her before she fell, and the guy into my table. 
The coffee cup he was carrying slipped from his fingers as he hit the table, and the steaming liquid went through the air, almost in slow motion, and landed everywhere. 
I was soaked from head to toe. 
In coffee. 
Again. 
Even my book had coffee over it. 
I simply sighed, screwing my face up slightly. Wiping the coffee out of my eyes, I finally got a good look at who had spilt the coffee. 
There, standing rather sheepish, was the cute stranger. The one who had spilt coffee on me in the street. 
I burst out laughing, looking at his mortified face. 
"I'm starting to think I must have done something to anger you, due to the amount of drinks you've dumped over me" I teased, grinning. 
He laughed, relief washing over his face as he realised I wasn't mad. 
"How could you!? Don't act like you don't know." He said clutching a hand to his chest, going along with the act. 
I giggled. Cute, funny, and slightly dorky. How was this boy real? 
"But, I am extremely sorry. I mean it was bad enough spilling it on you once, when you were running late, but again? When you were just enjoying your book," he gestured down to the book and winced, "and I managed to get coffee on it as well... I am so so sorry." He apologised wholeheartedly. 
I smiled and shook my head. 
"Don't worry about it. Any of it. I mean the first time woke me up, which I was glad for, and the second time meant I was able to see you again..." I said the last part shyly, blushing, before rushing on, " and as for the book, it's only a couple of coffee stains. It adds character." I grinned, grabbing a napkin to wipe the rest of the coffee off of my face. 
He smiled softly, rubbing the back of his neck and biting his lip. "I-uh- um, is this seat taken?" He asked shyly. 
I grinned and shook my head, gesturing to it to let him know he could sit. His eyes widened and sparkled, and once again I was transfixed by them. 
He sat down across from me, setting his now empty coffee cup on the table. 
"I'm Wyatt, by the way, Wyatt Oleff." He said grinning, holding out his hand. 
I reached across the table and shook his hand, smiling softly. 
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Wyatt, despite the fact I'm covered in coffee," I teased kindly, "Im Y/N. Y/F/N." I replied. 
He nodded, holding my hand a couple of seconds longer. 
"Y/N. Such a pretty name for such a pretty girl" he murmured softly before blushing madly. 
I blushed and stammered, surprised by his comment. 
"O-oh, uh, th-thank y-you..." 
 He cleared his threat and looked down at his cup, trying to hide his ever growing blush. 
"Uh, I'm just going to go get another coffee, since you're wearing mine" he chuckled awkwardly and rose. 
I nodded, looking down at his empty cup also. As he walked to the counter, and I kept my eyes on the cup, the thing that had been nagging me clicked. 
The shops logo. I had seen it on Wyatt's takeaway cup the first time we meet. He must come here often. 
I smiled, thinking about the chances of us running into each other. And how we both happened to be at the same small cafe at the same time. It seemed as though fate was on my side. 
As I waited for Wyatt to return, I couldn't stop smiling as I thought about him. 
In the time gone by, I managed to clean up most of the spilt coffee, although I still smelt very strongly of coffee. Not that I minded, it was a welcome smell. 
Wyatt returned with a smile on his face. 
We chatted for several hours, getting to know each other. Neither of us had places to be, neither of us wanted to leave. 
We instantly clicked. We had many of the same interests, and we enjoyed each other's company. 
As he talked enthusiastically about Zelda, I rested my head on my hand and smiled. He was gesturing madly, his eyes wide and sparkling as he described it. He grinned while talking quickly, rambling cutely. God, I could feel myself falling for him already. What a fucking idiot. But I couldn't stop myself. 
His noodle curly hair shook as his head fell back and he laughed at his own joke. I giggled uncharacteristicly, smiling and shaking my head. I wasn't laughing because of his joke, I hadn't even heard it because I had gotten distracted by his handsome looks... but I was laughing at how adorable he looked and how focused on the topic he was. 
His eyes settled back onto mine and there was a moment of silence. His eyes searched mine until he realised he was staring and promptly looked down, blushing. 
"So, uh... do you come here often?" He winced at how he sounded, looking up at me with a sheepish grin. 
I chuckled and took a sip of my 4th? 3rd? coffee, nodding. 
"Yeah, I do actually. It's my favourite cafe. Best coffee for miles and miles," I leaned in to say the next part, "even if it's being poured on you" I teased him with a grin. 
He blushed and chuckled, sipping at his own current coffee before setting it down and leaning towards me. 
"Well, maybe, we should do this again. Have coffee and chat here. And although I can't promise I won't spill my coffee on you, I will certainly try not to." He said with a grin, his eyes hopeful and nervous despite his confident demeanour. 
My eyes widened in surprise, not expecting the invitation. I smiled shyly, fiddling with the teaspoon I had been given to stir my coffee. 
"Are you... asking me on a date, Wyatt Oleff? " I asked grinning. 
He looked into my eyes and I was once again mesmerised by their soft beauty. 
"Indeed I am, Y/F/N." he said with that cute smirk of his. 
I nodded slowly, tapping my finger to my chin and screwed up my face, as if I had to think very hard and long about the proposition. 
"Well, in that case, Mr. Oleff, I think that we should do this again, although I might have to wear a rain poncho to save myself from the dangerous risk of coffee stains again." I teased, smiling. 
Inside, my heart was beating 1000 miles a minute and my mind was screaming at me in excitement and disbelief. He nodded and smiled at me triumphantly, and I could see that he was glad of my answer. This made me soar even higher over the moon. 
"And so it's settled, Miss Y/L/N. and that is a fantastic idea, rain ponchos are highly recommended. So, uh, can I get your number?" He said the last part shyly, worried I would decline him and cancel the date-to-be. 
I nodded happily and slid my phone across the table to him, open on a new contact. He grinned and picked up my phone, quickly putting his details in and sending a text to himself so that he'd have my number. 
 After he had passed my phone back to me, I checked to see what he'd put his contact name as. 
'Handsome Coffee Spilling Boy' stared back at me. 
 I burst out laughing and nodded. 
"Good name choice. Very suitable." 
He grinned and winked. I gently plucked his phone out of his hands. 
"Now I get to choose my contact name." 
He nodded and held his hands up in mock surrender, waiting patiently. 
After thinking briefly I typed in: 'Cute Coffee Wearing Girl' And handed his phone back to him. 
I laughed as he read it and nodded. 
"Another very accurate name. I love it." He grinned before turning towards the girl wearing an apron who was standing by our table. 
I hadn't even noticed her, much less the practically empty cafe. 
"I'm so sorry to disturb the two of you, but I'm afraid we are about to close up." She said smiling awkwardly. 
My eyes widened, only just realising the time. 
"Shit. Time flies when you're having fun I guess." I said quietly, sneaking a look at Wyatt as we both collected our things. 
Once we were both out on the street and the shy employee had locked up behind us, we turned to each other, both smiling shyly. 
"Well, uh I better get going... it's my turn to cook dinner for my sister and I still have to buy everything... but I'm really really glad you spilt that coffee on me. I enjoyed talking to you..." I said shyly, looking down at my feet. 
Wyatt nodded, smiling. 
"Yeah, yeah no worries, and to be honest, I'm very glad I managed to spill coffee on you twice, because if I hadn't, I never would've been able to talk to you and ask you out on a date... speaking of, I'll text you tomorrow to see when you're free?" He smiled, almost embarrassed by the confession. 
I nodded quickly, over the moon with happiness. I stood up on my tippy toes, leaned towards him and kissed him softly on the cheek. 
"Can't wait." I whispered before quickly walking down the street to hide my reddening cheeks. 
Wyatt cute, surprised lopside smile stared after me. 
"See yah!" Wyatt called out after a few seconds of shocked silence. 
I glanced behind me to see Wyatt waving at me, still with that cute smirk on his face. 
I grinned and waved to him, almost running into an older man walking in the other direction. 
I apologised profusely, catching the sight of Wyatt laughing out of the corner of my eye. 
I turned and walked in the direction of the supermarket with a large smile on my face and a spring in my step. I got a couple of questioning stares, but I was far from caring. 
My smile only increased when the familiar 'ping!' of my phone alerted me of a text. 
New Text Message From: Handsome Coffee Spilling Boy 
'I'm beginning to think you've got a habit of (literally) running into random guys in the street😉' 
I giggled down at my phone, reading and rereading the text. 
I was so focussed on my phone that I ran into a teenage boy and almost fell on my ass. My eyes widened and I bit back a laugh as he glared at me. 
"Sorry!" I called out to his already retreating back. 
I burst out laughing as I started to reply to Wyatt. 
'I'm beginning to think you're the one making me run into random guys, since you've been the cause of them all! A brilliant example would be the fact that I ran into a guy on the street because I was reading your text😂'
It was only a minute later that he replied. 
'A women with kids just stared at me confused and scared when I started reading your text 😂 You really should look where you're going ya know, even though it's hard not to be distracted by me😉' 
I spun around on the street happily, a small squeal escaping my lips. I must have resembled Hermione Granger at the Yule Ball in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' the movie, when Victor Krum kissed her hand and leaves. Here I was, talking to the cute guy that I never thought I'd see again, and he was flirting with me. 
'😂 terrorising little kids now are you? Shame you don't have coffee on you to throw at them😏 I swear you're distracting me on purpose at this stage😂' 
I pressed send and bit my lip. I shouldn't have sent that. It was weird and not funny... he'll probably never text me again now... 
My phone buzzed again, disturbing my thoughts.
'Damn it, you caught on! I knew I should've gotten a cup to takeaway before we got kicked out! And of course I'm distracting you on purpose, the only way to get your attention is to distract you or pour coffee on you! 😉'   
I held back an excited scream, reading his message. 
'I'm sure you would've grabbed one if they hadn't ushered us out in ten seconds flat!😂  hmmm hadn't thought of that... have you tried just asking for my attention?' 
I bit my lip before looking up and realising that I was at the supermarket. 
I went around, gathering everything I needed for dinner in a daydream, all the while chatting to Wyatt. 
We continued texting for the rest of the night throughout cooking and eating dinner and I didn't even notice the teasing comments from my sister. 
We were still talking as I climbed into bed, and we continued to talk as my eyes grew heavy. 
I warned him that I may fall asleep at any moment, and a couple of messages later I couldn't keep my eyes open. 
I fell slowly into a pleasant sleep with no dreams that I would remember in the morning. 
It may have been a different story if I had seen the text Wyatt sent me 10 minutes later when he realised I had fallen asleep. 
 My phone lit up and buzzed on my bedside table. In my sleeping state, I stirred, but did not wake, and settled back in again. The bright phone screen illuminating the room announced the text from Wyatt. 
New Text Message From Handsome Coffee Spilling Boy: 
'It seems like despite all that coffee you wear, you've fallen asleep. So you won't see this until the morning, but I just want to say that I really really enjoyed today, and I was wondering if you wanted to go out for dinner tomorrow night? (That way the threat of coffee being poured on you is lowered) I totally understand if you don't want to, but I would love to take you on a proper date. ' 
Ahahahahahahaha I'm terrible at endings. I always rush them sooo much. Also, does this count as fluff? I'm hoping so. Feel free to request more parts of certain imagines I've written, I may get around to them ages after, or I may decide not to continue them, but if you let me know that you want them, I'll definitely consider it!!

I’m back.
03/03/18 | 04:14am
So... life’s a bit shitty at the moment, and I just remembered that Tumblr exists.
I don’t really talk to anyone anymore and I think it would be good for me to vent to you guys. I had a meeting with a super sweet manager at work today and it gave me a little bit of hope. We touched on talking to people and just venting and how that can help, so i’m going to give it a go. Honestly, I think going through work to try and rebuild my mental health is my only viable option at the moment, which kind of sucks because I can’t often mentally deal with being at work right now. I’m getting ahead of myself - more on that later.
So, to those who may be reading this that don’t know me (If anyone’s reading this), i’ve been juggling anxiety, depression, (undiagnosed) bipolar, eating disorders and (undiagnosed) schizophrenia since I was around 14 (I’m 20, nearly 21 now), and i’ve only just started to try and get help.
I was forced to go to the doctors when I was younger by my mum when I opened up to her about harming. She told me that I was to stop, and if I didn’t, ‘they’ would come and take me away and lock me in a room until I was ‘better’. Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame my mum at all for saying that. She panicked, and as far as i’m aware she’s never suffered with any mental health issues, so I don’t imagine there’s too much of an understanding there. She was trying to scare me out of it, but it just made me feel like I couldn’t talk about it. It kind of became a grey area that we just didn’t really discuss so I just got on with it and mostly just learned how to be secretive. 
From that point on i’ve always told everyone of importance that i’m fine, because that’s better than being locked in a room until i’m better, y’know? Don’t get me wrong, I knew then and I know now that that’s not going to happen, and that I just need help, but I can’t say it doesn’t make me feel anxious every time I go to the doctors. It’s a feeling I don’t quite understand, but then again, I don’t really understand any of my feelings. Woo. 
So from the beginning... 
I started harming when I was around 14. I don’t really know why I did it - probably a mixture of being bored, sad and exposed to a lot of triggering material. Like I mentioned earlier, I opened up to my mum about it because we had a super good relationship, and I felt like I was lying to her in some way by not telling her that i’d done it. What was said was said, and that was that. I was made to go to a doctor’s appointment at 7.30am the next morning (Which was actually before the practice even opened so I think that was just a bit overboard tbh). I couldn’t understand a word of what the doctor was saying (that wasn’t meant in any kind of negative racial way, I just simply couldn’t understand what he was saying because of his heavy accent), I could just tell from his tone of voice that he was being patronising as fuck. By the end of the super drawn out and generally painful doctors appointment, I was referred to CAMHS. So off I went to this appointment with this top dog guy at CAMHS (We’d recently had a fair amount of young suicides in our area so they were pretty onit). It was an odd session. My mum was there and she was obviously going off on one about how terrible it was and how I had to stop, and then this doctor guy is trying to convince her to not take away my blades because at the end of the day, i’m only going to find something bigger and sharper.. oh it got interesting. I sat silent more or less the whole way through, but I smiled and I nodded and I said I felt fine when I needed to.
After this appointment, the doctor concluded that I had symptoms of anxiety and depression due to previous emotional trauma and that I could totally be fixed with counselling sessions from my school counsellor. I played along and I remember speaking to the woman once. Again - I smiled, and I nodded and I said I felt fine when I needed to. 
I didn’t go again. 
Having anxiety, depression and being bipolar all at the same time is just fucking exhausting. 
First of all: depression. My depression makes me feel lazy, and menial tasks just seem like an awful lot of effort. I showered yesterday, for the first time in around a week and a half. My house hasn’t been cleaned in a loooong time. Talking? That’s becoming an effort (which is really annoying because my job requires me to talk to people all day. I’m still brushing my teeth every day though, so that’s good. 
Anxiety. This makes me feel like nobody cares, that i’m a burden to everybody, everyone would be better off without me, people would prefer it if I wasn’t there, people are talking about me, people are making fun of me, people are looking at me and judging me. Anxiety also makes me bite my nails, a lot. I don’t even know how I bite my nails so far down, but it sometimes gets to the point where I just don’t have a nail at all - like literally at all. Anxiety also makes me feel nauseous, and sometimes it feels like the world is literally going to end. If you’ve ever had a near death experience and felt the sense of impending doom, that’s probably the best thing I can relate it to. 
Lastly, bipolar. Oh the joys. So i’ve not been diagnosed with bipolar (As i’ve said, i’ve not really pursued help for my issues up until now), but one moment I will be on the highest high, nothing can defeat me, and i’m totally ready to face the world and whatever it wants to throw at me, and then the next moment everything’s gone grey and dull and the light at the end of my tunnel is actually a train that’s plummeting towards me, and I don’t want to move out of it’s way. 
So. Fucking. Exhausting. 
As you can imagine, having all of these all at once is just a big ol’ mess. It’s so draining (both mentally and physically), and it’s just proper difficult to try and balance all of the conflicting emotions.
Now imagine all of that, with an added voice in your head. Again, I’m not diagnosed with schizophrenia. It’s not something that was effecting me when I was younger, but it’s not something that i’ve managed to talk to anyone about yet either. There are very few people that do know this about me. It brings me back to my earlier point - if there’s one thing that’s going to get me locked in a room until i’m better, it’s hearing voices in my head that aren’t real - surely. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all the time - It’s mostly when i’m tired. I don’t even know if it’s schizophrenia, but what I do know is that when i’m in a bad way and i’ve had little sleep, I can hear a voice clear as day in my head. Mostly it just repeats things, usually what i’m thinking, usually not very nice things. It’s almost like your own inner voice, but it’s loud, as if i’m listening to it through headphones. It’s funny actually, i’m as good as deaf in my left ear, but I swear to god I can hear that voice in surround sound. I’ve been tired quite a lot lately, so y’know, that kind of sucks.
Eating disorders are just shit. There’s no other way to describe them. Whether you: restrict yourself, purge, fast, over eat, binge, or like myself, just don’t eat until someone forces you to, it’s all just really shit. It’s a mixture of an addiction, and extreme emotion. It’s a mixture of wanting to be as pretty and as perfect as you can be, and feeling like this is the only way you can make yourself worth something, whilst also feeling like you have to keep going, you owe it to yourself, you feel like you have no control if you slip up and eat. Obviously i’m aware that not eating is not healthy. I know that. You need to eat to stay alive and you can’t expect your body to function correctly if you don’t look after it, I know. I only have myself to blame for the fact that i’m dizzy all the time, and I always need to wee because the only thing I ever consume is tea, and that every time I stand up everything goes black for a short while - like when you get head rush from standing up to quick. As much as I know that all of this can just be solved by eating, what’s to say that’s going to be the better alternative? When I start putting on a fuck ton of weight because I feel too depressed and fed up to actually exercise and I inevitably start taking that out on myself, what position does that leave me in? I’d rather be sad and skinny than sad and fat. I guess my point is that eating disorders suck - they manipulate the way you see yourself and convince you that you’re never going to be good enough, for anyone. 
I’ve always hated the way I look. I lost all of my hair (head, eyebrows, most of my eyelashes) when I was around 13 and this opened a whole new world to me. A whole world of bullies, unnecessary comments, staring, and laughing. My school made the situation a million times worse. Apparently it was too much of a distraction for me to sit in class with my bald head on show, so I was forced to wear a wig through school. I was given £500 from the school to spend on wigs, so I bought 2 of the exact same style. 
They were horrible.
Wigs are uncomfortable. They’re hot and itchy, and they’re basically a massive flashy sign that says ‘bully me’ - great when you’re in a room full of other 13/14 year old kids that simply do not give a fuck about how you feel or how their comments may affect you.
Recent events over the last, let’s say, 4 years of my life have really fucked me up. I think i’m going to write a post for each event in the hopes that maybe writing down what happened will help me process it and eventually get over it, but I quite simply can not be bothered to do that right now after typing this essay.
In the last 4/5 months, i’ve been actively trying to work on my mental health through my GP/seeking help through work and friends. Well what a task it has been. 
Originally, I was advised by a manager at work to go to my GP. I can’t quite remember whether I went to my GP or to the EAP line (Employee Assistance Programme - provided through work) first, but either way that was 4/5 months ago, and i’m still awaiting some kind of solution or action plan. I just feel defeated most of the time. It seems that every avenue I go down just gets blocked off - every turn is just a dead end and I can’t for the life of me figure it out. When I went to the doctors, they told me I had a ‘mood disorder’ and an ‘eating disorder’. I was signed off work for 2 weeks, and then instructed to make another appointment to go back to the GP (the first date they could see me was around 4 weeks after my return date to work from being signed off, so that was super good). When I went back to the GP, I was referred to IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) and SYEDA (South Yorkshire Eating Disorder Association). I was given a date, a time, and a name of a person that would be calling me from IAPT, and I was instructed to self refer myself to SYEDA. I was also given a fit note stating that amended/shorter hours could be beneficial. The date came for the IAPT phone call, but the phone never rang. I tried to chase them up, but apparently they weren’t allowed to discuss the account with me because it was booked through my GP. When I tried to get through to my GP, their line was just constantly engaged. When I had a look into SYEDA, the first thing that popped up in a banner across the top of the page was a message saying “Our waiting list is currently closed to all new referrals other than those referring from Barnsley”. 
Well i’m not from Barnsley so that’s really great, thank you.
I went back to the doctors to let them know of my super successes with IAPT and SYEDA. To my surprise, apparently it was my fault that I had ‘missed my appointment’ with IAPT, even though I never actually received the call. All they could say about SYEDA was, ‘oh’.
When I finally had an assessment with IAPT, they said I had scored too high on their risk assessment and that someone would be in contact super quickly to talk to me about what we can do next, but i’m still awaiting that phone call. 
I don’t even know how many phone calls and doctors appointments i’ve had. I just want someone to help. I feel absolutely drained and I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’m just sat waiting. I’m not living because all I can focus on is trying to get through the day without breaking down into a big emotional mess.
I’m not actively suicidal all of the time, it’s more like.. if I was being held at gun point, I’d probably piss him/her off on purpose. Or, if a car was speeding towards me and I could probably jump out of the way in time, I think i’d just let it hit me. 
I don’t know.
I’m lost.
I don’t really know what i’m doing on a day-to-day basis, and i’m currently just scraping by.
I guess i’ll keep you updated.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Tumblr media
Request:  hello! could you please request an angsty scenario (hella angsty please) with mean sehun and fragile y/n. they're not together, but they cuddle, kiss from time to time but she is really scared of relationships so let’s say they can do whatever they want and then she caught him making out with some pretty girl and becomes distant and he hates that so he becomes mean, rude and doesn’t care when she cries bc he knows she is fragile crybaby.
Genre: Angst with fluff at the end
Word Count: 2250
“Y/n! Hey, how are you?” A voice that sounded like Chanyeol’s shouts over the loud music from somewhere behind you. You turn around and see him and his usual smiley face coming towards you. You smile back and he pulls you into a hug before going on to ask you how are you are and blah blah blah. It’s good to see him and catch up since he’s always so busy, but you really came to this party to see Sehun. You and Sehun had a... weird relationship. You both knew that you liked each other, everyone knew; but that wasn’t enough to get you together. They were times where he thought that the two of you were together, when you’d kiss him and cuddle him or ask him to stay over the night. But then there were times where you’d completely ignore all of his advances and act like the two of you were really “just friends”. He didn’t know what you wanted from him, and to be honest he was done playing your games and waiting for you to tell him what you wanted. You hadn’t seen him since way before EXO’s comeback, and even then, he noticeable was trying to distant himself from you. Every time you asked to hang out he’d have some excuse - you knew he was busy but you also knew that he had free time also. And now, he barely even answered your calls and answered your texts with yes or no or I don’t know. So now you’re at your mutual friend’s house, who’s having a party, just knowing that Sehun wouldn’t be able to resist a good party. 
“Where’s Sehun?” You asked Chanyeol once the two of you had finished catching up. Chanyeol’s face looked confused for a second then he took a deep breath and ran his hands threw his hair with a troubled expression on his face. 
“Urm...why? Did he tell you to come here?” 
“No... I just knew that he’d be here. Why? Is he not here?” Chanyeol paused and then shook his head no. You just knew that he was lying. You raised your eyebrow at him, indicating that you could read the deceit from the expression on his guilty face. Was Sehun really going to such lengths to avoid you that he was using his friends as... bodyguards or something? 
“Does he not want to see me? You can just say and I’ll go home.” You said with all seriousness in your voice, becoming a bit irritated. 
“No, it’s not that. It’s just...I’m sure he does want to see you...but maybe not today...maybe not now.”
“Why?”
“It’s just...he’s not feeling well.”
“Oh, do you want me to take him home? I can call a...”
“No... not that. Just, call him tomorrow. Do you want me to call you a..?”
“Chanyeol, please stop this. What’s going on?” You were tired of whatever Chanyeol was doing or trying to hide. You caught his eyes flicker to somewhere behind you then back to your face, he gave you his signature smile to distract you from what you just saw. You tried to turn your head but he grasped onto your shoulders, stopping you. 
“Don’t turn around” is all he said. 
“Why?” You tried to turn again but he stopped you. You looked at him, trying to figure out what was wrong with him. His face was laced with guilt, and you just knew that Sehun was behind you. You paused for a second and then gave him a look which said get off me. He obliged and just sighed, letting you have your way. You turned around. It all felt like it was in slow motion. Your eyes focused on two bodies in the corner. A girl sitting on a boy’s lap while he whispered in her ear and she giggled. She was pretty, really nice body. And she was all over him. Touching his chest, his hair, his cheek. He looked at her then smiled. Their faces ever so close, and then their noses, and then their lips. And then there was no space between them. They were just kissing, and kissing and kissing. And you were just staring, for what felt like forever, not being able to move. What did you expect? You turn around quickly, feeling that all familiar lump in your throat. Chanyeol was still there watching you, 
“Y/n-ah...are you-” he began, but you shook your head indicating that it was time for him to stop talking and he did. Chanyeol was aware of the relationship you had with Sehun and you could see the sympathy in his eyes which made you feel even more like an idiot. What did you expect to find? Sehun waiting for you with his arms wide open? 
You practically ran out of the party, not wanting anyone to see you cry. You cried alone in the taxi drive home, and cried even more when you threw yourself on your bed, not bothering to change out of your clothes. 
Meanwhile, at the party, Chanyeol hadn’t bothered to go after you. He knew that he had to talk to Sehun first. He took a deep breath and walked over to him, tapping him on the shoulder so he was forced to separate from the blonde girl. He looked irritated as he looked up at Chanyeol, with the girl still on his lap. Chanyeol managed to get him to a quieter room. 
“Y/n was just here...and she saw you.” He said, getting straight to the point. Sehun’s eyes widened, 
“what? Y/n? Here?! Why didn’t you...?”
“I tried! I tried. She turned around and saw you. Then she ran away, she looked like she was going to cry.”
 Sehun let out a frustrated sigh, “of course she cried. She always cries. I don’t know what her problem is, we aren’t even together.”
“I think you should talk to her.” Chanyeol suggests, knowing that by tomorrow – when Sehun would be in the right state of mind – he’d regret everything. Sehun shrugged,
“she’ll call me soon enough.”
You pushed your phone away from you as another call from Sehun came in. He went three days without contacting you, probably thinking that you’d make the first move like you always do. But this time was different, now he was the one calling you until it went to voicemail – multiple times a day. You didn’t want to speak to him so had no intention of ever answering the phone, ever. You weren’t even sure if Chanyeol had let him know what you saw, you didn’t really care. You felt betrayed, and stupid. Stupid because you thought that just because you and Sehun kissed a bit and were overly touchy it meant something. What the two of you had clearly only meant something to you, and to him you were just another one of his girls who he could have fun with and then move on. You sighed, feeling tears crawl down your hot cheeks as you thought of how stupid you were to think that you were special. But it wasn’t all his fault, you were the one who kept on shutting him out when he got too close or were indecisive to what you wanted from him. He was confused, and lonely, and angry that he couldn’t figure you out.
You were awoken by a loud banging on your door. You groaned and inched your eyes open, feeling out your phone which was on your bedside table, knocking somethings off as you did. You clicked the middle button to check the time, you were immediately blinded by the bright light it exerted, forcing your eyes closed so you could slowly inch them open again. 2:14am. You groaned even louder this time as the knocking didn’t stop. Who the hell would be at the door at this inhuman hour? You tried to tame your hair as much as you could as you dragged yourself to the door. The knocking got increasingly louder as you got closer to the door. “I’m coming!” You shouted over the knocking but it didn’t stop. You quickly unlocked the door and pulled it open.
“What’s wrong with you?” Sehun barged past you and into your home before you could even comprehend that it was him at the door.
“What?” You rubbed your eyes, closing the door and following him further into your apartment as if it was him.
“You know what I’m talking about. Why are you ignoring all my calls and texts? I’ve been trying to reach you for two days now.” You’re forced to wake up as you listen to his words. He really has some nerve.
“Why were you trying to reach me?” You asked him, no emotion in your voice. There was a pause, it didn’t feel like much of a pause but there was one. He was looking at you, and you were looking at him.
“I know what you saw.” He finally said. Was that it?
“Yeah. I don’t care about that.” You lied.
“I know you care…”
“I don’t, so is that all you came here for because I was sleeping…”
“Stop this. Stop trying to get me to leave just because you don’t want me to see you cry and you don’t want to open up. I know that it hurt you seeing me kissing that other girl so just say it.” His voice overpowered yours. You silently glared at him. Refusing to say anything. Refusing to open up and cry, just like he would love. You wouldn’t let him see you in a vulnerable state just so he could take advantage like the other boys before him. You shook your head,
“just go home Sehun. It’s 2am.”
“No.”
“What’s your problem? I don’t want to speak to you.”
“That’s exactly my problem. You never want to speak to me.”
“What are you talking about? I always want to speak to you but you never answer my calls, you always tell me that you’re busy.”
“What about you? Whenever we’re almost there you just shut down and tell me to leave. Do you know how irritating that is?”
“Well, I’m sorry that I irritate you so much.”
“I didn’t mean it like that.” He rolled his eyes at how impossible you were being.
“How did you mean it then? You accuse me of shutting down and not letting you in, but why do you think? You go around kissing other girls, acting like I mean nothing to you and expect me to open up to you?”
“I only kissed her. And I know that you’re mad but we…”
“We aren’t together or anything. Yes, I know. So why are you here then?” Both of your voices had raised by now and you were almost shouting at each other. You didn’t notice until now but you felt the lump, and your eyes becoming watery. But you didn’t want to cry. You didn’t want him to accuse you of being a cry baby. He didn’t know what to say, but you knew what he was thinking. You guys weren’t together, but you were still together and him kissing that girl completely contradicted everything that he said to you. That he wanted to be with you, and wished that you would let him in. Actions speak louder than words.
“Just tell me why and then I’ll go.” He said lowly after a while, looking down, ashamed of himself.
“Tell you why what?” Your voice was still annoyed, but shaky indicating that you were about to break.
“Tell me why you always shut me out. I need to know.”
“Because…I…” you couldn’t finish. A tear strolled down your cheek and you quickly wiped it away but he saw it. You knew he saw it. He held his arm out, almost hugging you before you quickly spoke to avoid him touching you, “because I’m scared.” His whole body froze and his face was covered in confusion.
“Scared of what?”
“You. Scared that you’ll break my heart.”
“Y/n…I would never…”
“Really? Are you sure?” You cut him off, looking up so you could look at his face. His heart sank and he felt like absolute crap. He felt like such an idiot for kissing that girl, whose name he couldn’t even remember. He watched you as you started to silently cry.
“Y/n…that girl. She didn’t mean anything.” You forced a smile and sucked in some air. You’d heard that before.
“I don’t care. Now please just go home, I need to sleep, I have…” before you could finish Sehun pulled you into his arms and squeezed you tightly.
“Don’t tell me to leave because I’m not going to. I’m sorry y/n. I’m really, really, sorry for being such an idiot. And I know these words probably mean nothing to you, because they’re just words. But I’ll show you that I care about you and would never hurt you or break your heart. You mean too much to me. I’m sorry.” He says as you just stay there frozen in his arms. He waits as you don’t say anything. Your final response is just to wrap your arms around him and hug him back, making him hug you tighter. Crying seemed silly when he had his arms wrapped around you. You wanted to believe him, you really did.
“Prove how much I mean to you.” You whispered into his chest and he kissed your head softly.
“I will. I promise.”
Another Sehun scenario, I really enjoy writing about Sehun. I hope you liked this anon xo.

Maya and her part!
**WARNING SUPER LONG IM SORRY**
Tumblr media
Recently a fan tweeted Marlene asking if mayas storyline was over and she replied saying their may be a bit more to it. So I went back and tried to see what I could make out of the maya clues and how she fits into everything. 
I always love maya and emaya but her character always seemed a bit sketchy at times kinda like alison. (remember this)
when her and emily first meet she seems REALLY interested in getting to know emily, she was asking tons of personal questions about ali and herself, answering questions with a question, and she was being super friendly and almost choosy with her words, almost as if she had other intentions when she met her. What if she was told to get close to her? (Kind of like ezra & cece already knowing who all the girls were and jenna already knowing alison) 
In S1: “The jenna thing”, maya meets spencer and when her and emily go back to her house she says “I get your connection to spencer, you both like to win.” and emily replies “well winnings great but usually if I do my best im happy with the outcome.” and maya chooses to move the topic to spencer by asking how she feels about winning which always kind of stuck out to me. Emily tells her spencer HAS to win.
I just never quite understood why Maya only really asked questions about spencer, I know you could argue she was just trying to get to know emily but throughout the episodes maya’s in we don’t really see her interested in knowing about all the liars to me it seemed like she asked about spencer only because she reminded her the most of Ali.
& then maya moves the conversation to Alison again saying how she seemed like she was always the center of attention. Then tells emily she usually runs from those girls. Em says “you don’t look like the type of girl who runs from anyone” and Maya moves the convo to something else. (WHO U RUNNIN FROM MAYA)
Also later in the night when emily turns around maya immediately goes and cuddles with her almost like she KNOWS emily was in the closet. She said she had a boyfriend & i dont think it was something she just did in her sleep. + the A alerts afterwards were right on time, something was up. 
this also happens again when they kiss in the photo booth and A steals the strips right away. & maya tells emily not to worry about it that it there was probably just no more paper & drags her away. MAYA WAS IN ON IT THE WHOLE TIME. She was used to bring em out the closet and let A use it against her. 
Also in S2: “I must confess” Maya is scene wearing the exact same tory burch boots -A ordered online. (couldnt find a pic though)
But I think somewhere along the way maya started to really develop feelings and wanted out but A/AD or someone connected to them had stuff on maya forcing her to stay in it so she chooses to run away but A gets her first and kills her before she can get far.
Now lets go back to what I said earlier about her kind of acting like Alison
In the pilot maya asks emily if shes ever smoked and em replies No. Maya says this and the way she says it for some reason really just reminds me of something Ali would say. 
Tumblr media
& then later in the episode Spencer sees who she thinks is Ali in Mayas room (ali’s old room) 
Tumblr media
But what’s odd is that this person is wearing the same tank Maya was wearing the whole episode.
Tumblr media
now this can be explained in a couple ways, either:
1. maya found a blonde wig while looking through the dilaurentis house and tried it on to pretend to be ali.
2. that was really or ali or maybe an ali twin and she was talking to maya & wearing a similiar top? (this one seems too much but wouldnt be surprised if the writers went this way.)
3.maya bought a blonde wig & was really trying to pretend to be someone maybe a trick she learned from a real blonde she knew who liked to wear wigs & be someone else.
       - i’m thinking its this last one! (or i hope it is)
In S2E12: “eye of the beholder” Jason tells em & spencer that maya found some of Ali’s old things in the attic, “Like they were hidden” he thought they threw everything away but maya kept some things, maybe b/c she knew what they were for.
Another thing I wanna point out is maya has mentioned on more than one occasion (1.02 & 1.12) that she has trouble sleeping. I mean I would have trouble sleeping too if I was worried my secrets may catch up to me.
Now I know there a lot of maya theories & some have even said they think she’s A. I don’t think I could really hop on board with maya being A but I do think when mona said “MAYA KNEW” she really meant maya fucking knew, like she knew the game & knew what was going on & just how dangerous A could really be. 
Okay so, we all know there seems to be a couple different teams when it comes to PLL and their alliances. Theres, 
AD & Cece (& maybe someone else? idk yet still looking into this)
Theres the Liars 
Then theres AD’s pawns (Jenna, Noel, Lucas, Shana, Alison (sometimes), Garrett, Mona etc.)
Well i think maya started off as one of these pawns but like all the people above at some point they wanted out and like I said above its likely so did she. 
It’s possible that maybe Ali and Maya knew eachother prior to her disapperance maybe they met on vacation… at cape may.
I saw this picture when I searched up maya clues on google and I almost screamed! I think this Analyzing A tumblr acct found it so i’ll put her link:
http://analyzinga.tumblr.com/post/44225287853/major-clue-possible-spoiler-alert
Could this mean this is Maya’s unnamed brother? Did she also hang out with Ali, Cece, & Melissa during that summer? Or was she scared of them like she mentioned to emily about attention seeking girls like Alison?
Tumblr media
Now I heard from twitter it may be fake but still why would they make the mistake of putting it in the credits? Idk I just think it would be a nice twist for maya to have a deeper connection to Ali than just living in her house. 
UPDATE: MARLENE SAID WE’RE MEETING AN UNKNOWN RELATIVE OF MAYA’S! Some people meationed that reporter Aria went off on in 7.12 may be her brother but I couldn’t find a pic and I didn’t wanna sit through hulu commercials to find out so if someone finds the pic reblog it cause I wanna knowwww!
I mean we find out they had to have known each other either way or at least met before b/c they were both staying in the kahn cabin around the same time!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also when Ali and Maya’s body are found the scene is so similar they even play the same song.
I think at first Alison gave Maya the idea to fake her death & Noel, Garrett, & Jenna helped her carry it out. 
Marlene also posted this pic on insta w/ 2 dolls that w/ the hashtag #emison but to me the 2 dolls look more like ali and maya then ali and em. Idk I just think there’s alot more to their relationship than we know right now.

Now lets talk about the night mayas body was presumably found:
Maya trys to call emily but she cant get service so it never goes through, I don’t think this was maya b/c her phone was already stolen by this point. I think A just was trying to distract emily to mess with hanna.
Jumping ahead to when Mona falls off the cliff, we get a zoom in on her watch that says its 12am. The girls then go back to their houses and the cops have a body they think is Mayas.

BUT we later see this video of Maya at the kahn cabin at 1:14am
So are we just really gonna believe it took the liars OVER 1hr & 30m to get to thier houses?? B/c maya had to have got kidnapped and then dragged over to emilys back yard from the cabin and murdered. Which just in my head doesn’t add up with the timeline.

In addition to this I noticed when Maya gets pulled out of the cameras view it doesn’t necessarily mean she was captured by A, I think theres a good chance it was Ali who pulled on her to take her out of view and talk to her. We know Ali was staying there too so maybe she already knew where the cameras were and didnt wanna take any chances being seen seeing as this was before A supposedly knew Ali was alive. 
Now lets talk about after her “Death”:
We find out Maya went to the kahn parties often and met holden before, she was also friendly with Jenna, we see her get into a car with garrett the night she died (But we know he didnt kill her because he was arrested at 12am) & its when Nate (lyndon) is introduced and he is accused of being the one who killed Maya. 
Nate never openly says he killed Maya, in fact some of the things he says when he tries to kill paige kind of indicate he thinks emily has something to do with her death.

He says “Im gonna do to you, what you did to me. Im gonna take someone from you & you are gonna watch me do it.” 
Its also been speculated that Maya was involved in the night em dug up Ali’s grave b/c they used her bottle of pills to drug her (which was also prescribed after she died) & flashbacks she remembers having + jenna lies to her saying she found her on the street drunk when spencer asks why she lied she says b/c she’s protecting a friend.
This was also one of the flashbacks she remembers having,

LIKE COME ON WHO ELSE WOULD WRITE THAT???
Most of me really does believe Maya did end up really dying sometime later before the end of season 3 or in the beginning of season 4 
The girls do find this carved into the dollhouse in S6 maybe AD found maya & took her to the doll house to be his Ali for a while before Mona got there.
Tumblr media
But idk i’ve also read alot of theories w/ extra clues and reasons she could indeed still be alive helping out emily and hiding from AD or might even be bethany young herself. So theres that lol. I’m just excited to know that Maya still is relevant b/c her character had so much potential, hopefully mar doesn’t fuck it up!!
Reblog & tell me what you think, do you think maya’s still alive or dead? & if she wasn’t the person in the body bag in 2.25 then who was?
