As the scorching August sun began to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows across the quiet suburban street, the sound of chatter and laughter grew louder as a pair of two young men approached the familiar house. Suguru and Satoru stumbled through the front door, their arms laden with shopping bags. The coolness of the air conditioning washed over them, providing a welcome respite from the scorching heat outside. But what greeted their eyes was anything but typical. In the center of the living room, a peculiar sight awaited them: their roommate in a sleek black costume, complete with a tail that swished playfully and delicate ears that perched atop my head. My eyes widened in surprise as I turned to face my roommates, and the sudden silence was as palpable as the tension that filled the room.

"It's not like that! I just was trying that on..." 

My cheeks flushed a deep crimson as I stumbled over my words, trying to explain the unexpected scene. The cat costume clung to my body, the silk fabric sliding against my skin with every anxious twitch. Suguru's eyes widened in a mix of shock and confusion, while Satoru's gaze remained eerily calm, his usual air of nonchalance unruffled. The silence stretched like a tightrope, threatening to snap under the weight of their unspoken questions. I clutched at the plush tail draped around my waist, desperately searching for an excuse that wouldn't make me sound like a complete lunatic. But as they both stared at me, the absurdity of the situation washed over me, and I couldn't help but let out a nervous giggle. The tension in the room broke, and Suguru's expression shifted from shock to amusement, his eyes sparkling with curiosity as he took a step closer. "Well, if you're going to wear it, you might as well own it," he said, grinning as he dumped the shopping bags on the floor. 

Suguru's encouraging words brought a relieved smile to my face, and I took a deep breath, standing up straighter in the cat costume. "Okay, okay," I said, deciding to embrace the moment with a newfound sense of humor. "Let's say I'm just getting into the spirit of things for the upcoming Halloween party."

Satoru raised an eyebrow but said nothing while smirking. Suguru couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh. "A Halloween party, huh?" he teased, setting his bags down on the counter. "I guess we'll have to find costumes that can top this one."

Feeling a bit more at ease, I playfully stuck out my tongue and padded over to them on the soft paws of the costume. "I dare you," I said, challenging them both with a mischievous glint in my eye. The evening ahead was suddenly filled with the promise of fun and light-hearted banter, a much-needed reprieve from the usual weight of our lives.

Satoru's smirk grew as he met my playful gaze, his eyes traveling up and down the curves of the cat costume with a newfound appreciation. "I think we might have to step up our game, indeed," he said, the challenge in his voice unmistakable. The mood in the room shifted from awkward to electric, the air thick with a playful tension that had been absent for too long. Satoru leaned against the counter, his arms crossed over his chest as he studied me. "You know, it suits you," he said, his tone dropping a notch. "The tail, the ears... they're all very... enticing."

My cheeks grew even hotter as I felt a thrill run through me, the costume suddenly feeling less ridiculous and more like a seductive second skin. Suguru's laughter subsided into a knowing chuckle as he watched the exchange, his eyes shimmering with mischief. "I think we've got ourselves a little devil kitty."

The three of them shared a moment of laughter, the tension shifting into something more... interesting. Suguru stepped closer, placing a gentle hand on my hip, his thumb grazing the soft silk of the costume. As the night grew darker, the temperature in the room seemed to rise, the costumes becoming less about Halloween and more about exploring the hidden desires and passion that had been lying dormant beneath the surface of their friendship for years.

Encouraged by their reactions, I leaned into Suguru's touch, not one to be outdone Satoru stepped closer as well, his gaze lingering on the slit of the costume that revealed a hint of my thigh. "I think we should have a little photoshoot," he suggested, his voice low and tantalizing. "We could see how many different poses a cat can do."

My heart raced as I considered the implications of his words. Was this just playful banter, or was there something more happening here? Suguru's hand slid around my waist, pulling me closer to him, while Satoru stepped behind me, his breath warm against my neck. The two of them positioned me in a seductive pose, one that accentuated the feline grace of the costume. The camera clicked, capturing moments that felt both playful and dangerously intimate. As the flash lit up the room, I couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement mixed with a hint of the forbidden. The costume, once a source of embarrassment, now felt like a catalyst for something I never knew I wanted.

The heat of their bodies pressed against mine, and I felt the warmth of their breath on my skin. My laughter turned into a soft gasp as they gently adjusted the costume, their fingers brushing against me in a way that was both innocent and undeniably sensual. With each pose, the boundaries of our friendship blurred a little more, and I found myself caught in a flirtation that I didn't want to end.

As the photoshoot continued, the air grew thick with the unspoken understanding that this night was going to be unlike any other. The playful banter had evolved into something more charged, and I could feel the energy between them shifting. The line between costume and reality grew blurrier, and I began to wonder if this was the moment everything changed, or if it was all just a feverish summer's whim that would be forgotten once the costumes came off.

With each click of the camera, the room grew hotter, the air thick with the scent of desire. Suguru's hand slid down my side, caressing the silky fabric of the costume, his thumb grazing the exposed skin just above the hem. Satoru's eyes darkened as he leaned in, his breath hot against my ear. "Let's try a more... feline pose," he murmured, his hand wrapping around my waist to position me. They both stepped closer, their bodies aligning with mine, and for a moment, it was as if the costume had transformed not just my appearance, but the very nature of our relationship. The playful touches grew bolder, more deliberate, and I could feel the heat of their arousal through the thin barrier of the fabric. My breath hitched as their hands roamed, each caress sending shockwaves of pleasure through me. The room was a haze of flashes and whispered suggestions, the boundaries between friends and lovers dissolving like sugar in hot tea. The anticipation was agonizing, the tension unbearable, as we danced around the truth of our feelings. But as the camera's light flickered for what felt like the hundredth time, I knew that this night would not end without us crossing that line, or embracing the passion that had been simmering just beneath the surface.

As the camera flashed again, capturing my pose with an air of sultry defiance, I felt a sudden jolt of electricity as Suguru's hand slid up my thigh, his fingertips grazing the bare skin above the costume's stockings. The room spun, and the laughter that had filled the air just moments before was replaced by a taut silence. Satoru's hand ghosted over my shoulder, his fingers tracing the line of the costume's neckline, sending shivers down my spine. Their eyes met over my head, a silent conversation passing between them that I couldn't quite decipher. The air was thick with unspoken desires, and the heat of their bodies was a palpable force, pushing me closer to the edge of reason. With trembling hands, I reached to touch Suguru's chest, feeling the rapid beat of his heart beneath my fingertips. He leaned in, his lips brushing against my ear as he whispered, "You're a bad little kitty."

The playful taunt sent a shiver down my spine, and I felt my resolve waver. Suguru's hand slipped further up my thigh, his touch growing bolder, and I could feel his arousal pressing against my belly. Satoru's grip on my shoulder tightened, his breath hot and demanding on my neck. "Oh really?" I asked looking into Suguru's eyes. The room was a whirl of fabric and desire, the costume suddenly feeling like a prison of my own making. His eyes smoldered as he bent down, capturing my lips in a fiery kiss that sent my senses reeling. Suguru's hand on my hip guided me closer, and I could feel his own desire as his body melded against mine. The kiss deepened, tongues dancing together in a passionate dance as the lines between friendship and desire blurred completely. The camera on the tripod watched silently, capturing the moment that would forever change the dynamic of our trio. As we pulled away, gasping for air, the realization hit us like a ton of bricks: the costumes had unlocked a side of us that we had never dared to explore before, and there was no going back. With a seductive smile, I looked over my shoulder at Satoru. "I'm ready to see what else this kitty has in store," he said, in a voice that was nothing more than a sultry whisper while a grin spread across his face. 

Without a word, Satoru stepped around me, his eyes never leaving mine as he claimed my mouth in a kiss that was as fiery as Suguru's had been. His hand slid up my torso, cupping my breast through the costume's fabric, eliciting a soft moan that was swallowed by his hungry mouth. Suguru's hand trailed up my inner thigh, reaching the apex of my legs, and the fabric was suddenly too much to bear. The costume, once a barrier, now felt like a second skin that was begging to be stripped away from me. They moved in unison, their kisses full of need and want, their hands exploring every inch of my body as if it were new territory to conquer. The sound of fabric tearing filled the room as Satoru ripped open the costume, exposing my breasts to the cool air. “Aww man, you could’ve just taken it off and not destroyed it…” 

Suguru's mouth followed the trail of his hand, kissing and licking a path up my thigh, sending waves of pleasure through me. Their touches grew more insistent, their breaths more ragged, as the three of us tumbled onto the couch, a tangled mess of limbs and desire. The line between friendship and passion had been obliterated, and in its place, a new kind of intimacy was born, one that was raw and uninhibited. The heat of their bodies was a brand against mine, the friction of skin on skin setting me alight as we gave ourselves over to the moment, our hearts pounding in time with the relentless beat of our newfound love. The camera on the tripod stood as a silent forgotten witness to the unfolding scene, capturing every moment of our transformation from roommates to lovers, forever immortalizing our first steps into a world of shared passion and unbridled desire.

The kiss grew more urgent, Satoru's hand moving from my breast to the back of my neck, pulling me closer as his tongue danced with mine. Suguru's mouth traveled upward, his teeth grazing my neck, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. I arched my back, pushing my chest into Satoru's touch, my body aching for more. Suguru slid the costume away from my hips, revealing my nakedness to both of them. Satoru's hand slipped down, finding my wetness, and I gasped into his mouth as he began to tease me with deft strokes. Suguru, not to be outdone, pulled away from my neck to kiss down my body, his lips meeting my nipples, teasing them into hardened peaks. I could feel their arousal, pressing against me, and I knew that this was it—the moment we had all been waiting for so long. I reached down, wrapping my hand around the base of Suguru's cock, stroking him through his pants, feeling his length grow as he moaned against my skin. Satoru's touch grew more insistent, his fingers sliding inside me, making me squirm with pleasure. The room was alive with the sounds of our passion, the rustling of fabric, and our ragged breaths echoing in the quiet room. The warmth of their skin, the taste of their kisses, and the feel of them inside me was like nothing I had ever experienced before. This was more than just a threesome; it was a declaration of love and lust that transcended the confines of friendship, a union that would forever alter the course of our lives together. As we embraced in the dimly lit room, lost in the intensity of our shared passion, I was overcome with the undeniable feeling that I belonged in that moment. Sandwiched between the two men, I felt the warmth of their bodies, the racing of their hearts, and the depth of the connection we all shared. It was more than just a physical embrace; it was a convergence of emotions, desires, and a profound sense of belonging.

With a shared understanding that there was no turning back, the three of us descended into a frenzy of passionate exploration of our bodies. Satoru lifted me onto the edge of the couch, my legs parted invitingly as Suguru kissed his way down my body, his tongue flicking against my clit with expert precision. I could feel Satoru's cock pressing against my ass, and I arched back into him, desperate for the feeling of fullness. With a groan, he slid into me, filling me completely, and I gasped as the sensation of being stretched to the brink of pleasure washed over me. Suguru's hands held my hips steady as he feasted on me, his tongue delving deep and circling with every thrust from Satoru. The rhythm grew steadier, more intense, as we all gave in to the instinctual need that had been building for so long. I clawed at the Satoru's thighs, my moans echoing in the apartment. The feeling of being so completely claimed, so utterly desired by both of them, was overwhelming, and I could feel the tension coiling tightly in my belly, threatening to spill over into a climax. Satoru's grip tightened on my hips as he drove into me, his breath hot and ragged in my ear. "You're so tight," he murmured, his voice thick with desire. Suguru's mouth moved to my breasts, suckling and biting gently as he watched Satoru's cock slide in and out of me. The sensation was exquisite, a symphony of pleasure that had me teetering on the edge of release. And when Satoru reached around to pinch my clit, I tumbled over, my body convulsing with waves of ecstasy that seemed to go on forever. The room was a blur of moans and gasps as we continued to move together, our bodies entwined in a dance of passion that had been years in the making. The cat costume, now discarded on the floor, had served its purpose, leading us to embrace the carnality that had been hiding just beneath the surface of our friendship. 

As the climax of my first orgasm subsided, I felt Suguru's hands move me slightly, positioning himself between my legs. Satoru's grip loosened just enough to allow it, his lips never leaving the nape of my neck as Suguru's cock slid into my already-soaked pussy. The feeling of being filled by both of them was indescribable, a sensation that went beyond physical pleasure. Their movements grew in sync, each thrust from Satoru met with one from Suguru, creating a rhythm that had me panting and begging for more. The pressure built again, my body tightening around them, the friction of their skin against mine driving me wild. They took turns kissing me, whispering dirty words into my ear, and the intensity grew until I was teetering on the edge once again. The heat of their bodies, the sound of our skin slapping together, and the feeling of their cocks moving in and out was more than I could handle. 

The tension grew unbearable as we approached the peak of our shared orgasm. Satoru's pace quickened, his thrusts more urgent and sloppy, and I could feel the warmth of Suguru's seed building inside me, his hips jerking with the force of his impending release. The room was a symphony of passionate moans and gasps, our bodies moving as one in a delirious dance of desire. And then, with a groan, Satoru spilled into me, his hot cum filling me up as he collapsed against the coach, his breaths coming in ragged gasps as his fingers dug into the soft flesh on my waist. Suguru threw back his head, his own climax following swiftly. He filled me to the brim, his semen spilling inside me, creating a deliciously primal sensation that had me whimpering with pleasure. The double creampie was a declaration of their ownership over me, a visual representation of the newfound bond that had formed between us. As our hearts slowed and our breathing evened out, we lay there, tangled in each other's arms, forever changed by the carnality of the night. 

As we lay there, our bodies intertwined and our hearts racing, the weight of what had just happened settled over us like a warm blanket. The air was thick with the scent of sex and sweat, a potent reminder of the passionate encounter we had just weathered. I looked up at the ceiling, my chest heaving, and felt a strange mix of emotions—shock, exhilaration, and a deep sense of belonging. Satoru's arms tightened around me, his breathing still heavy against my shoulder, while Suguru's hand gently stroked my thigh, his own breaths slowly evening out. We sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity, the only discernible sound being the subtle ticking of the grandfather clock in the dimly lit room, each tick resonating with newfound weight and significance. Our once unbreakable friendship had undergone an irrevocable transformation, now woven into an intricate tapestry of unfathomable love and insatiable desire. It was a point of no return, a line crossed in the midst of a tempestuous night. Yet, as the vanishing sun cast a warm, golden light across the room, we found ourselves unburdened by regrets. Our gazes locked, and in that unspoken exchange, we silently pledged to embark on an uncharted journey as lovers, a course fraught with anticipation and boundless pleasure that we would brave together, whatever the future held. The discarded cat costume lay abandoned on the floor—a poignant symbol of the innocence we had shed in the fervor of our explosive passions.

seven sentence sunday

this is from my college au!

"Hey, Eddie. Good to see you again." Buck greets him and licks his lips. "Are you guys coming to the after party?"

"Parties are not really my thing." Eddie shrugs.

"Really? Huh." Buck gets this mischievous glint in his eyes and his smirk turns teasing and amused. "I wouldn't have known from the last time—"

"And besides." Eddie cuts him off, feeling heat rush to his face. He really doesn't need a reminder of that night and that kiss that he definitely hasn't been thinking about for the entirety of a week. Lile, at all. Definitely not. "Maddie and I have an early class tomorrow, right?"

"Right." Maddie shoots him a weird look but then turns to her brother and beams. "You did amazing, though! I'm so proud of you."

Buck ducks his head and his cheeks flush, even deeper than they already were. His whole face transforms almost, and softens.

"Thanks, Mads." He whispers, so low that Eddie almost doesn't hear him— and it's at that moment that he sees this side frim Buck. Not the loud frat boy that likes to kiss strangers at parties and can shotgun a beer like no other, not the smug and cocky football player that Eddie saw tonight. But a softer, more quiet side— the little brother that just lights up when his sisters tell him how proud of him she is.

Buck just preens at the praise and Eddie— Eddie's feeling things that he's not supposed to feel for his friend's little brother. "Anyway, I probably should go back to the team." Buck says after a few seconds. "But thanks for coming. Really, Maddie, I—" "I know." Maddie nods and cups her little brother's cheek. "I'll swing by after my class and we'll grab some coffee, okay?"

"Yeah, sounds great." Buck smiles and then he's walking backwards and away from them. Eddie wants to yell at him not to be an idiot, that he can fall and hit his head or something. "Bye Chim! Bye, Eds! See you around, I guess?"

The teasing, smirking idiot is back but Eddie thinks he sees something close to disappointment simmering under the surface.

Or maybe that's just his stupid imagination. Probably. Most likely.

"Yeah, see you around, Buckley." He waves and Buck winks at him. Fucking winks at him, before he's turning around and jogging back to his team. Eddie watches him go and can't shake the feeling that he'll be seeing more of Evan Buckley— whether he wants it or not.

🌷 for something oc Bryn / Guardian of Mercy and Men related

You're getting all writing snippets :)

Because of that, I'm gonna split them up a bit but I'll include the ask thing and tag you for the other 2 posts. Doing the last one first ;)

Enjoy!

Guardian of Mercy and Men snippet

Price is fully convinced he's died and gone to heaven. There's no other explanation for what he's witnessing.

"Well, it fits. Kinda." Bryn shyly chuckles as she keeps her gaze on the dress she's just changed into, a blush creeping onto her cheeks as she steps further into the room.

"Kind of?" The words fall from Price's mouth faster than he can register, and everyone glances up at him.

But he pays them no mind. He's too distracted by the image of perfection before him.

Bryn's dress is a crimson color, the deep red a perfect compliment for her skin tone. Her dark hair barely brushes her mostly bare shoulders, the thin straps revealing the plethora of dark freckles covering the tops of her shoulders. The material is tight around the chest, just tight enough to accentuate her breasts while remaining tasteful. The dress hugs close to her body, highlighting every curve with silk. Every small movement Bryn makes, the dress flows softly after in a mesmerizing dance. A slit cascades down the left side, showing off her lightly tanned leg.

It takes every ounce of self control on Price's behalf to not step forward, to not close the gap between them and take her wide hips into his hands. Every ounce of self control not to drop to his knees and move aside the silky fabric so he can see the richness of her inner thighs.

Angelic only barely begins to cover what Price sees.

He definitely missed the majority of the conversation, but it was nothing new. He'll be fine without a last minute run down of the plan for their covert operation. All he needs is to make it through the night without compromising the team, and maybe, just maybe he'd be able to experience the promise of paradise before him.

"You look divine." He whispers to her once the room has cleared. Her blush returns, the dark freckles on her cheeks surrounded by the gentle pink color. Bryn's wide dark eyes briefly meet his, only to shyly flutter away as she looks down at her dress once again.

"Guess my callsign really suits me right now, huh?" She asks, just as quietly as he spoke. Price lets out a small hum, taking a small step forward to tuck her hair behind her ear. Her dark eyes look back up at him, glowing with all the sweetness of heaven's honey.

"Like a match made in heaven." Price breathes and Bryn looks away once again, her nose scrunching as she fights back a smile.

"Think you can stay focused tonight?" She teases as his hands find their way to rest on her waist. Price doesn't immediately respond, instead lets one hand brush her cheek and trail down her neck to her arm.

"I can keep it professional." He whispers as he gently raises her hand to his lips, pressing light kisses to her knuckles. Bryn chuckles, but keeps her gaze focused on his.

"That's not what I asked, John."

"I can stay focused long enough, Angel." He replies, a sly grin falling into place as he lets the hand that was on her waist move towards the small of her back, pulling her closer. She chuckles again, lifting to her toes to place a light kiss against his nose.

"We'll see about that." She says simply before quickly pushing away from him. He watches as she leaves the room, eyes glued to the way the silk moves with each step she takes.

Yes, tonight will be torture indeed.

[neptunetiger33366]

Not sure if screaming into the void will help my social anxiety or make it worse, but suppose it doesn't hurt to try. Not expecting anyone to read this, but want to put something out. So I'm just going to type and let what happens happen.

Y'all can call me Neptune (not my real name ofc), and I'm a just a queer furry nerd that can't help hyper fixating on stuff. I've actually had this account for a few years (I think, not good with time) but never used it. Got brought here by the one and only P.M. Seymour, but because I was never able to get the app, never really used it. Now I'm older, getting into fandoms on here, and am actually taking the effort to learn how Tumblr works. From what I know, I think I'll like it here, and one of the big rules I've been told is to never have an empty blog, makes you look like a bot. Normally I'm a lurker online, but I suppose that'll have to change here. Hence this post.

Anyway, as you can probably guess, my fursona is a tiger (actually what I call a tiggon) named Neptune. Tiggon is my way of denoting a tiger dragon hybrid. I know a tigon is a thing (tiger lion hybrid), so that's why there's two G's. Neptune was actually a name I considered while choosing for myself (I'm trans masc), but decided it worked better for my water powered fursona. Once I figure out how to use Krita properly and get some art done of him, plan on posting here about him. Plan on eventually making him my avatar, but until then, it's Wild from Linked Universe because he's my FAVORITE bean.

What else? I'm a writer (sorta, don't write much, just a small hobby) and love making OCs. Debating writing publicly about them, but for right now I'm not publishing anything. May change in the future once I finally work up the nerve. It's funny really. I'm a very "it's okay to be cringe, let people like what they like" person until it comes to my own work. Then it's all cringe and I'll be put to death for coming up with it. Ah, social anxiety and general self-esteem issues, my beloved. Right now I'm working on two fan-fics, one involving a TotK/AoC AU of mine and the other an AU of my TotK AU. The AU of the AU is inspired by an AU from a fic I've been reading, which is in and of itself an AU of a different comic series I've been reading. So... A fanfic of a fanfic of a fanfic involving three or four separate AUs? Huh, that's a lot of of's. Either way, neither of those is ever getting published, lol. Hell, they're barely getting written as is. Curse my inability to focus.

Anything else of note to share? Yes actually, but I think that's best saved for posts of their own. I'm done with that kind of sharing for now. My point in making this post, besides not looking like a bot, is to tell the void I'm new to it. I'm learning how things work. Etiquette around tags and reblogging (which stresses me the fuck out for no reason. I have this weird part to my anxiety where I absolutely DREAD being late. This is the worst in its "oh, I took too long to respond to that text, now I have to wait for them to text me again" form. This never works and ruins all my friendships. Despite repeated assurances that that's not an issue with reblogs, they still trigger that anxiety.) I make mistakes and don't talk a lot, even online, but I'm willing to learn. Will try to make it a habit to post things, but no promises. Might get better once I get more used to being on here. We'll see. Anyway, it late/early at the same time and I really need to get back to the real world. My favorite Link is waiting for me. We just 100%ed TotK (quests, Koroks, compendium, monster medals, and map) and I'm helping him create a full recipe book as celebration. My man loves food, gonna have to feed him big time after collecting 1001 pieces of shit. Goodnight Tumblr. We'll talk again.

[lilyrealm]

i lied i changed the tag immediately. anywayyy maybe ill just start typing and see if inspo comes to me. i think itd be kind of funny if in this au ei and makoto arent even related, ei is just an actual android body double commissioned for makoto. i cant rmb, inazuma didnt know makoto existed right? did they just not know there was a handover 500 years ago... but yea thats gonna add a little identity crisis to the mix (remembers fontaine) wait... ok we'll get to there when we get there!! inazuma first

i suppose yae is just made for the shrine... everyone else that has like a normal job, just assume theyre made for their normal job ok. ittos is not a normal job tho. UNLESS... genius strat where they make a "gang leader" that is actually harmless and even plays with kids, but is capable of overpowering other gangs, thus. no actual criminal gangs!! we onto smth here. kuki wouldnt be needed tho but since she has that shrine story she can be one of those that had their purpose changed perhaps. how? well either its sentience or someone behind the scenes 🤷‍♀️ dont think abt it too deeply

who else... everyone else is kind of self explanatory i think. they just... do their jobs/help people they work alongside. i suppose kokomis different since shes in a position of power, and they have that family line jazz, so its kind of weird for her to be a commercial (celestia) android. maybe we can just assume technology is fairly advanced in this era so theyre not all commercial? people can just make their own. oh yeah this ties back into daydreams' original concept of like... broken down models being fixed up by readers... who knows, maybe people even make imitations. hm. maybe that should be neuvillette since hes an enemy of celestiaOkay i keep jumping to fontaine for some reason

should i keep it to one nation a reblog or just keep going. imma keep going. now how do we fit in rukkhadevatas whole thing... i also dont claim to be very knowledgeable about all the desert stuff (and havent finished the pari quest😭) but its probably also not celestia approved so maybe its also a separate faction? wait hold on. the forbidden knowledge can just be. a virus. and some buggy code is left in rukkhadevatas memory so nahida had to delete her loooool okay with how tech they made sumeru this fits really nicely.

im gonna say cynos bad jokes+tcg interest was not scripted at all cuz idk why theyd do that unless some engineer was like wouldnt it be funny. i mean thats also possible ig but like with kuki, sentience is an option... i think this entire au was (partially) inspired when i read smth (an anon on daydream's blog maybe?) about alhaitham and nahida being school guides or something. alhaitham proobably wouldnt be a teacher type i think he just helps them do admin and is fully aware the sages delegate a lot of work to the "scribe" bc they know hes an android. oooh but maybe they keep it quiet and not even everybody knows hes an android so hes like Lol if youre gonna masquerade me as a human you better treat me like one and give me time off and holiday pay etc. yeah thats funny

...i have no idea how to fit in his and kavehs roommate situation. it would be funny if kaveh wasnt an android and just had no idea (bonus angst when he finds out and is like uve been lying to me?!?!) though i did start this thinkihg vision holders would all be androids. WAIT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE VISION HUNT DECREE. oh i guess its just "deactivate that mf" huh. no thats weird cuz yoimiya wouldnt be able to be "alive" for the coup... maybe it fr just disables their elemental powers. which could be connected to their ambitions who knows, that could be the original concept.

okay now weve got that squared away, back to sumeru. ill put kaveh on the backburnerWait. what if there was like a. make someone into an android a la nikke bc theyre dying or just because. and he did that but now hes broke bc of the payment for it. okayy maybe.

also im thinkin if usually the ppl in charge commission these droids (i mean that might spoil a lot of the rebellion plotlines) maybe celestia also just randomly releases models that werent commissioned... okay what i wanted to get at was, the sages wouldnt have commed nilou (unless they were more lenient on the arts in the past which is possible i just cant rmb) but if not i guess she can just be a random celestia release. who the fuck made layla

aaaand ive been avoiding the elephant in the room... scaramouche. i do love the idea of each of his forms being different models. ahhh it would be cool if ei actually did make him, not celestia. using her own knowledge and power but shes not perfect and neither is he (ok thats not why she deemed him unsuitable) (omg. it was bc he cried on birth and she was like ah hes too soft (human) HaHaHa that would be really Funny if it reminds her of makoto Lol)

so... kabukimono escapes his holding and tatarasuna happens... damn the whole irminsul-history-wipe thing doesnt really work here. unless, if we are still setting this in the original universe with magic and stuff, just with MORE androids, then i guess irminsul could exist. just that instead of being a corrupting Thing in rukkhadevata, the forbidden knowledge is a corrupting virus. 👍

back to scara. there isnt much to change here, he can absolutely still have his human crisis because none of the people he stayed with were vision holders so he never met a fellow android. and hes also different from fellow androids anyway since ei made him! wow! double whammy! anyway dottore

everything is just the same actually. like this doesnt change anything in the plot they still make that fuckass robot. okay is there anything else in sumeru im missing. oh right earlier i was like why would they make layla cuz i was like. they should not encourage sleeping in class. but it could be like, yk, relatable to students, but she still gets work done so yk no excuse (except that shes an android)!! i also know she has some identity issues but i havent done her hangout yet so... gonna leave it there, idk if itll affect this too much. faruzans just a teacher, etc etc, dori could be a plant or just commissioned/made by the black market lol

cyno and sethos' Thing... hmmmmmmm. i guess, instead of kids they just made two androids to be the host for the the soul of h. im trying to remember but all thats coming to mind is hamarhaft which is a weapon in bg3. quick google: hermanubis. yes. oooh so maybe cyno isnt commissioned by the sages at all! yeah okay that makes things make sense!

hmmmmm. collei. she didnt have a vision in the manga, right... perhaps dottores experiment is to "fix" eleazar patients by combining them/putting their brain into an android? yeah that sounds plausible (dottore fans dont gut me cuz i never read too deeply into his experiments)

that should be all outliers in sumeru? onto fontaiWAIT I FORGOT ABOUT KAZUHA. hm. hmmm. yk its possible that the inazuma clans comm their own androids, so like, the kamisatos... (i also think itd be an extra layer to ayakas angst if the public didnt know they were androids.) so maybe the kaedeharas made one on the last of their money lol. his friend is i really dont know he could be anything, all that matters is hes an android (had a vision) and was killed by ei (driving a sword through an android should probably fuck it up. especially if the sword is empowered by elemental magic and ei was part of the original archon lineup).

then he fucks off to explore the world. definitely not a commercial android. haha even though he and scara would be popular choices (not necessarily tgt) but i accidentally made them one of a kind so no you cant really go to the market and buy a scara android. though i suppose that does delve more into "genshin plot is just a story the company made to drive sales" rather than "genshin plot is happening right now".

baaaack to fontaine. oooh boy oh boy. to start, focalors was against celestia from the start, though i dont think itd be too bad to say they made her and she went r—wait i forgot, the previous hydro archon passed the title to her. side note what the fuck are oceanids in this au. androids lite. nah maybe they can still be oceanids. so the prev hydro archon (egaria? no its egeria) passed the title of archon to focalors. perhaps she did an ei and made her own droid? how does passing the archon title work with this though... unless archon isnt really assigned the androids, thats just what they called the initial lineup and those that still have that initial model treat them as gods. so egarias the commercial bot that went rogue. or something im looking at her wiki and the history is... um a lot more complicated im not even sure if she was part of the original archon lineup. okay thats not important. whats important is: what the fuck is furina???

furina is supposed to be part fontainian, so part oceanid... magic fuse an oceanid with a droid and bam...! but splits them in two... shit then the droid is the one hiding instead lol. but hey with all their pneuma ousia shit maybe it needs to be a droid converting all that energy! but normal fontainians are not immortal the way furina is/was sooo... idk we're mixing scifi and fantasy magic so theres probably something connecting the two of them to each other, some battery inside them, or maybe furinas like 1/4 droid while focalora is 1/4 oceanid. that could work.

WHAT THE FUCK IS NEUVILLETTE. clearly not made by celestia. lol since they stole the power from the dragons its just an old company that maybe pioneered this tech but celestia stole it!?!? i feel like i should be thinking about khaenriah here. but anyway. neuvillette canonically isnt pure dragon so maybe its like... the creators have lost some of their materials or process due to celestia so they cant make a proper dragon again. so they just make a humanoid also to masquerade under celestias gaze (spoiler: they aint even notice?)

so how does the transfer of power work... focalors kills herself, WHAT THE HELL IS THE WHALE DOING HERE, and gives up her "archon powers"... which, here, can be some kind of magical tech that neuvillette takes. bit more manual work perhaps but we ball

okay. the fatui. the tsaritsa (glances at wiki) isnt even the original cryo archon, but otherwise we dk much. but i think its prooobably fair to assume she makes the fatui. or does nikke shit like dottore was gonna do except like better. and delusions? just. fucked up versions of the elemental magic (visions) other bots have ORRR its just terrible for mortals since its not that bad for visionholders. spews toxic shit idk. REGARDLESS. okay obviously not all the fatui are from snezhnaya... maybe she makes the normal fatui army looool ok ignore ALL of this since we dont really know anything about her, i was just trying to figure out the house of hearth 😭😭😭

so. we have to remember the fontainian oceanid thing. hold on what the fuck then fontainians cant be androids here since theyre full human(ish). hmm. hmmmmm. alright, so, hm. fuck. i dug myself into a hole. OKAY. lets see. what if the fontainians are all actually a kind of oceanid-droid egeria made. its just that focalors has extra archon tech in her from egeria. so all fontainians have like (i was gonna say kill switch which im not sure is better than dissolving to water honestly) a latent ability to become magical (get visions) to make up for... celestia not giving them any because they were like what the fuck, egeria.

i mean its also possible celestia also sent normal androids there you just cant tell. and its not like everyones tested the primordial water, maybe they actually wont be affected (who would even want to risk it lol), you really just cant tell. like we can just say all the playable/important chars we know never touched primordial water (well obviously. cuz theyre. still alive)

pause i just saved this as a draft just in case i accidentally like close the app and i realised i DO have another draft talking about inazuma bots. and it had this crazy idea of the real ayato and ayaka dying so they made bots of them. but the other stuff i wrote there about ei is not as interesting as the one i wrote here tho so scrap that. i did have one interesting line about venti and zhongli not being their original prototype archon model anymore and ei still was because she just makes new models/upgrades. then its funny cuz im like yea rukkhadevata probably figured that out with the irminsul (nahida must be a new model) and fontaine has its own problem so its just. venti and zhongli. old ass men being the originals. WAIT WHAT IF VENTIS APPEARANCR WAS JUST THE NAMELESS BARD AND THEY NIKKEFIED HIM. what is a wind spirit. actual wind spirit or little ai lmao.......

ok so back to um, the HoH. arle only gets her vision after becoming the knave, right, she fights the whoever orphanage mom with her own blood powers first (wtf is that btw i feel like theres no explanation in game but ig it doesnt appear much in game either so its okay...?) maybe just a defective bot or smth... MOVING ON i just wanted to get to the trio siblings...

wow okay i wanted to get to them cuz i like them but now that im here im like... what could i say. theyre the "doing jobs" droids again. cant even say theyre fatui made bc of the fontainian thing and most of them are just normal people. sorry damn. damn i think the rest of the chars are also just "doing jobs" droids. oh well

i havent touched natlan at all so i cant say anything about them 🤷‍♀️ JESUS THIS WAS LONG AF WHATS WRONG WITH ME (the undiagnosed autism, my oomfs would say)

SHUT UP OMG i just looked at my drafts again, i had ANOTHER inazuma draft written where id alr come up w the idea of makoto being human. ah well. Wait this doesnt mesh with makoto also considered an archon before ei took over LETS WORRY ABT THAT LATER CUZ that short draft also had an extra concept for the kamisatos which is. parents couldnt conceive so they commed ayato and ayaka without telling the public theyre androids. so its either they start androids or replace humans... im thinking start because theres not really enough time between the familys deaths to make new models of them. unless their deaths were separate and earlier and somehow kept very hushed up... yeah no. they were always androids. WHEW NOW WE'RE DONE. I PROMISE. MAYBE

i simply think it is so fun to imagine a world where a company makes a bunch of androids to assist people and provide companionship so they give the androids stories and release them in certain themes or lines and those androids are the genshin characters. credit to @yandere-daydreams for the idea. i love it so much. yes we all want x character to be our boyfriend or girlfriend and we have sex with them yes but i think its fun to imagine their roles when theyre not being yandere...

also the read more is very long i just went off about my ideas for most of the mondstadt characters. nothing wrong with me

if this is set in teyvats world imagine amber being like a gliding instructor in mondstadt. good engineer too, maybe the first bot that can fix other bots/have intricate knowledge of them (because she made baron bunny).

for human injuries theres barbara and jean, but with different temperaments for different patients. or if we're still set in teyvat, then jean (and the rest of the favonius knights characters) are actually android assistants to the actual human knights. basically the androids replace vision holders??

but yeah kaeya would also be a knight assistant, noelles story is she trains super hard but still isnt a knight (because shes made to help actual trainees!). lisa of course manages the library. yeah sorry thats it. makes tea

and i had the idea (this is all stolen from my own twitter thread from *checks* last year? anyway) that they would tease the release of bots like diluc, rosaria and razor through voicelines from kaeya, barbara and lisa. really like the idea of razor originally being some sort of surveillance android for wolvendom/integrating with them in some way for research and sort of became a guide for people who get lost in wolvendom.

diona and diluc are two different types of bartenders, one is good against people who cant say no to a cute (angry) kitty and the others... are those require some intimidation.

VENTI. god, i think itd be cool if they had prototype models for the seven archons and actual venti bots now definitely play into the "broke bard who plays for alcohol" thing. but of course anyone with eyes knows that his original model was the barbatos android.

oh!! and bennett and fischl being adventurers buddies. bennett is "unlucky" but hes actually like, wired to be hypervigilant and take hits for you while he shrugs it off. and fischl comes with oz if you need some chuuni speech translated, but you can disable that if you want to go full rp with her.

*looks at my thread* oh yeah "Albedo is made for the alchemists in the Knights, and he was meant to be released with Klee, but there was a delay because his ai kept experimenting on its own copies (Flowerfell Albedo?)" ngl i didnt play the albedo event and never bothered to watch a video so i dont know the full extent of his lore here. oh right and i added "sucrose is made to keep an eye on him in the labs" lmao

klee is. i suppose made for the knights. a cute energetic girl to keep morale up, whos fireproof and thus able to scout dangerous areas/bomb them if you so wish.

oh yeah i wrote that the church was not happy about the rosaria bots being made so they relegated her to guarding dragonspine against foolish adventurers. as to why she keeps appearing in bars, well, uh. No comment — Celestia Inc.

the lawrence clan wanted in on this business and sponsored a representative of their family, but mondstadts opinion of them is less than friendly, so the knights compromise and make eula, a lawrence knight.

whew okay for some reason i was able to churn out a lot for mondstadt and then everyone else i was like uh yeah. they exist and do things similar to what they do in game like xiangling being a cook's aide. yep. idk why the mondstadt worldbuilding gripped me so hard like that.

also my last thought is that maybe the hilichurls are just the verryyy alpha version of their bots, the khaenri'ah line (i think daydream mentioned this) and maybe just broke down and went rogue/abandoned. so now they make better bots to fight them and keep people safe. go figure. earns them a ton of cash though. lol imagine if getting them was a lottery too....

I was wondering if for your Winter Event if my wifey Hange and I could go out searching for a certain yeti friend? 👀

Maybe we are ice skating, having some chaotic fun, and then yeti runs by in the distance and the chase commences! You may decide what happens, and whether or not clumsy Skittles trips and falls at some point 👀

SFW please 🥰

-le Skittles

What matters most

Pairing: Fem!Hange x Fem!Reader

Genre and tags: Modern AU, married life, fluff, cute, romance, winter, adventures, slight angst.

Concept: Your wife Hange takes you on an adventure in the mountains. The snow is heavy and the cabin in the woods is your home base. You both travel around the mountain in search of a Yeti for your Youtube series. You spot your target and chase it down, but an accident happens and a choice must be made.

Link to event

You typed away on your computer, then clicked on the mouse as you edited a video. You smiled softly as your wife wrapped her arms around your neck and hugged you from behind. You hummed at her sweet kisses on your neck.

You lightly rubbed her arm. "Hello, love."

Hange nipped the top of your ear. "You're working hard."

"I am."

She purred against your ear. "Why don't you take a break and pay attention to me." She grabbed your boobs. "Momma needs titty therapy."

You hummed a laugh at Hange's playful words. "That sounds fun, but I have to get this editing done."

She stood up and massaged your shoulders. "Well, how about we go out and enjoy the snow? We can film a few things."

You let out a long sigh. "I guess we could film a few scenes to add to this episode."

"You know, you work too much."

You saved your work and stood up. "I do it for us. I work hard so we can keep doing what we love."

Hange cupped your face and kissed you. "I am forever thankful. You changed our lives for the better with all your hard work. I love you."

You blushed a little. "I love you too." You let out a long sigh. "I guess I work too much. I should relax sometimes." You grabbed your camera and put a mic on you and Hange. "I'll get my coat on and we'll head out."

Hange yanked on her coat and packed a bag. "I have hot drinks and snacks."

"Cool." You yanked on your coat. "I have our filming stuff, first aid and emergency things. Remember to stay close as it's dangerous out there."

Hange grabbed the ice skates and smiled. "I'll be okay. You worry too much."

You slipped your snow boots on. "I worry because I care."

"I adore you."

You blushed a little. "I adore you as well."

She unlocked the cabin door and led you outside. She held your hand as you both walked through the deep snow. You followed a woodland path until you reached the lake. You both grabbed rocks and threw them onto the ice to check it was okay. You swapped your boots for your skates and skated around on the ice.

You pulled your camera out and recorded your wife skating around. "You're so beautiful."

Hange skated closer. "Thank you. Why don't we skate together? You can film if you want to?"

You set the camera up and held her hand. "All right." You giggled as you relaxed a little and just skated around with your wife. "Thank you. I forgot all about work and I'm just enjoying our time together."

She pulled you against her and kissed you. "I love you. I know we're very work orientated, but we should take a moment to ourselves and enjoy the little things."

You hummed a laugh. "We should." You looked up and smiled as the snow slowly fell. "So beautiful."

Hange flicked her gaze to look up at the snow falling before looking at you and enjoying the pure delight on your face. "Yeah, beautiful."

You looked down at your wife and smiled. "You flirting with me?"

"Maybe." She winked at you. "You know what I'm like." She leaned closer and went to kiss you, but stopped. "Yeti."

You frowned. "Huh?"

Hange released you and skated fast. "Yeti!"

You turned and saw what she was talking about. You skated to your camera before following Hange and filming the yeti. "I got it!" You panted a little and saw Hange was moving fast. "Hange! Wait for me!"

Hange looked back at you. "Hurry! It's getting away! This is incredible!"

You moved as fast as possible, but lugging a big camera was too much for you. You slipped and slammed against the ice with a loud thud. "Ow."

Hange reached the edge of the lake and stopped. She looked back at you on the ice before looking at the yeti. She nibbled her lip and looked back at you. She turned and skated for you as she shouted your name. "Stay still! I'm coming!"

You welled up. "Hange! No! Go after the yeti! You've always wanted this! This is your dream!"

She skidded to a stop at your side and knelt. "My dream? My dream changed the moment I fell in love with you. Sure I want proof of the yeti or bigfoot, but my dream is to be married to you and have children." She helped you kneel. "I want to live the rest of my life with you. Fuck the yeti, okay? You're my dream."

You rubbed your tears away and cried a little. "Hange."

Hange hugged you tightly. "I love you with all my heart and soul. You mean more to me than anything in this world."

You gripped Hange's back and cried a little. "I'm sorry you lost the yeti."

"Don't be sorry, okay? We'll get it next time. My priority is getting you back to the cabin and making sure you're not hurt, okay?"

You sniffed and nodded. "Yes, Hange."

She got up and helped you to the edge of the lake. She swapped your shoes and packed the camera away. She held your hand as you sniffed and walked slowly back to the cabin. She unwrapped your body and did a full body inspection to make sure you weren't hurt.

She smiled softly at you. "A few bruises it seems." She grabbed some meds from the first aid kit and made you a hot chocolate with the works. "Here you go beautiful."

You held the cup. "Thank you. Sorry again."

She kissed your forehead. "Don't be sorry, my love. If I was asked to give this all up for us, I would easily." She crouched in front of you. "I love you more than anything. "I'll do anything for you."

"You're so sweet and romantic."

She kissed you and moaned against your lips. "Let me take good care of you. I love spoiling you and worshipping you."

You blushed. "Me too. I like doing it for you."

She giggled. "I know, my sweet skittle." She purred at you. "You always taste so sweet."

You smiled softly. "Thank you." You looked up at the slide doors. "You never know, the yeti might inspect our cabin."

You were right in your guess because that night as you and Levi were reminding each other of how much you loved each other, the yeti walked closer and inspected the cabin in front of the cameras.

Otto Baizen Masterlist

Otto tags a swig of his beer, trying to watch the girls.  Trying to get out of his head, and remove Annie.  It was a failing game.  It was the last night of just him and the girls before his family came for the rest of the week.  And of course Illiana had used her puppy dog eyes to let them go out to a local bar.  He of course thought it was a terrible idea, but Illiana had appealed to his better nature.  He loses focus on them dancing with each other the moment that Annie sat down at their table.

“You look deep in thought?” 

“Are you not?” he asks her with a smirk.  She nods her head, and reaches for his beer bottle.  “Careful now, you’re underage, Annie Gables.”

“One sip won’t hurt anyone,” their conversation was too easy.  She had thought about Brooks less and less.  And even dreaded the thought of going home.  Scared of what she would find.  Over a week of him alone, and his favorite excuse for his recent behavior was right in front of her.  His own brother.

He gives her a timid smile, before looking back down at the table.  Otto didn’t get nervous in front of women, and here he sat, unsure what to say to the pretty redhead.  “You ready for the rest of your family to be here?”

“Ready for ten more Baizen’s?  I guess.  Brookie coming?” Annie is the one to look at the table shrugging.

“Haven’t heard from him.  He’s really busy at work,” really busy working on another woman.  She has to bite at her lip, so she doesn’t cry.  Unsure of how she’s going to go back.  Ashamed that it’s him sleeping with someone else, and not the drugs that makes her want to leave.

“Annie, you deserve so much more than that.  You need someone who will love and cherish you,” she looks up at Otto, and he reaches over to cup her cheek.  The two having one of the many tender moments they’d had the past few days.  

Iclynn stops her dancing to stare at the two.  Confusion wasn’t even the word.  She knew something was going on between Brooks and Annie, but now there was something blooming between her and Otto.  “Ow, jackass,” she shouts at an older man who bumps into her.

“Well, look what we have here.  Aren’t you girls a pretty bunch?”

“In your fucking dreams, asshat.  Leave,” Illiana gives him a less than polite shove, while Daisy moves further away.  Looking over to the table where Otto and Annie are, and bites at her lip.  “Excuse me, I didn’t fucking stutter.”

“Ills, shut up,” Iclynn pulls her little sister back.

“A bunch of college girls, trying to sneak into this exclusive club.  Which dick did you suck to get in here?  I’ll give you another, and we can go to the VIP room,” Iclynn pulls at Illiana to get them away from the situation.  “Oh, come on sweet cheeks.  You’re ruining all the fun.”

“My pussy cost a lot more than you’re willing to spend.”

“Sugar baby, huh?  You want daddy’s money?”

“Oh my god.  I already got daddy’s money.  Leave us alone!” Iclynn tries dragging her sister away, but Illiana was just getting started. 

“You looking for a new daddy?” his eyes look hungrily at Daisy who rubs along her chest, tears in her eyes, and she only looks at Otto.

“My father has more than enough money.  I don’t need your cheap ass,” Iclynn begins to get uncomfortable with the talk of money, even giving a yell of Otto’s name.  The crowd backs further away from them, and she grabs Daisy's hand.

“You fucking bitch.”

“What did you just say to me?”

“Ills!  Stop,” Iclynn reaches for her hand, and starts dragging her over to Otto, who finally takes a glance at the girls, and sees Iclynn trying to drag his sister, while Daisy has worried her chest to a deep red shade.  “Just leave us alone.  We’re leaving.”

“Shit,” Otto jumps up, jogging over to the situation.  Looking over the girls, before pushing them behind his back.  “What the hell are you doing to a bunch of high schoolers?”

“New money.”

“It’s the fucking Hamptons, man.  Most of us have money.  Who cares where it’s from.”

“These your bitches?” he squares up with Otto who gives him a devilish smirk.

“They’re my sisters.”

“Yeah, you’re a bitch, too.”

“Mr. Baizen,” the owner of the bar, steps beside the two of the men, eyeing up Otto.  “Is everything okay?”

“This man has had too much to drink.  And he was making advances on a minor.”

“What?”

“She didn’t give you the time of day, and she’s only seventeen, asshole,” with a snap of the owner’s fingers, he apologizes having the gentleman escorted.  “Ills, I’ve told you about running that damn mouth of yours.”

“I can’t help it.  He started it.  Made it out like we just snuck in here.  I didn’t even mention that Archie invested in this place.”

“Doesn’t matter.  Grab your stuff.  We’re going to the house,” Illiana whines at Otto, but Daisy and Iclynn scurry off to the table.  “Ills, I’m not playing, and I’m not in the mood.”

“Can we have a drink?  Please?  Please?  Please?”

“Fine, a bottle of wine or something,” he tells her as he pulls her to the table.  Giving a quick, sorry to Daisy and Annie.  “Wait, have any of you three had a breakup?” Annie snorts, looking between the three of them.

“No.”  “Not recently.”  “I’m a virgin.”

“Right,” he says, giving an odd look to Daisy.  “If you stay in the house, away from water, you can have either a bottle of wine to share or some Ciroc and raspberry lemonade.  Not both Illiana or I’m telling dad.”

“Narc, but honestly, thank you for being so generous with our alcohol consumption.  Annie joining this time?  I mean,” Otto narrows his eyes at her.  “We’ve stayed in the room, and you didn’t notice.  I stop them before they puke.”

“I stop you, before you make a fool of yourself on the phone,” Illiana shushes Iclynn quickly, giving her brother a sweet smile.  Otto knows he’s in over his head with them, but tomorrow his family was arriving.  “Can’t take it back, Otts.  We’ll be good.”

_______________________________

Annie sits on the couch too close, and not close enough to Otto.  The two nursing a beer as they watch some stupid movie and for the first time at ease.  Able to hear the triplets giggling loudly on the other end of the house, but they were in their own bubble.  Annie didn’t think about Brooks.  Just carries on an easy conversation with Otto.  

The next morning Carter walks in with Zephyr and slams the door to the house, when he sees Annie and Otto asleep on the couch.  Both of them sit up, staring wide eyed at the man.  Zephyr gives a quick little chuckle, “You’re in trouble.”

“Zephyr, go help your mother with the girls.  Rosie can’t carry her own luggage.”

“Yep.”

“Annie, I need a moment with my son,” Annie had never seen Carter angry before, and it didn't take much for her to run towards the door, “Go get my daughters and Daisy.  They can help bring in everything else,” she nods her head, and hopes she can wake them up.  “Otto.”

“Not in the mood,” he says, going to stand, and walk towards the back balcony.

“I really don’t give a fuck what you’re in the mood for,” Carter follows right along with Otto, before his son stops.  “What the hell are you doing?”

“Dad, it’s not what it looks like.”

“Not what it looks like?  It looks like you were sleeping on the couch with a pretty redhead, who just so happens to be your brother’s girlfriend.  Otto, we don’t do this.  We’re Baizen’s.”

“I’m not,” Carter’s angry stare turns more into a hurt confused look.  “I’m not a Baizen.  I’m a fucking Barber.  Isn’t that what Lydia calls me?  This is what I do.  I sleep with my brother’s girlfriends.  Except we didn’t do anything.  She…Brooks hasn’t even talked to her.”

“You are too a Baizen.  That’s all you’ve ever been.  Because I chose you and you chose me.  You don’t remember it, but you reacted to my touch more than your bastard sperm donor ever did.  If I ever hear you talk about you not being a Baizen again, I’m cutting you off.”

“I’ve made my own money.”

“Otto, this isn’t you.  This insecure person who is doing whatever that is, with his brother’s girlfriend.  Brookie looks up to you.”

“And looks down to his girlfriend.  God, I know you don’t see it, because he wants to pretend he’s got everything under control, but he’s an ass to her.  He expects her to be just like mom, and do everything for him with a smile on her face.  The difference is he’s demanding it, and doesn’t treat her with respect.  I know not every woman is going to be like mom and do everything for her husband and kids first.  But you’ve always respected her, and never expected it.  Dad, it’s not fair.  He doesn’t love her.  I do.”

Carter looks up at his son, looking more like an eighteen-year-old instead of his thirty-year-old self.  He’s never been in love, or loved a girl for the past few months.  Never had a girl meet the family.  Never got personal with them.  “This isn’t happening.  Her and Brooks need to come to that conclusion.  Otto, Baizen’s don’t cheat,” Otto scoffs at him, starting to walk into the house, hearing Rosie giggle, while Veda is begging to be held.  “Otto, you put a stop to this.  Your brother’s girlfriends are off limits.  And if you think your mother won’t notice.”

“I got it.  Baizen’s don’t cheat.  We’re faithful, honorable.  Just remember that.”

“What does that even mean?”

“I’m sure it’ll eventually come out.”

“I’ve never even noticed another woman, besides your mother, since she was seventeen.”

“Not you! God, not everything is about you!  Not all of us have this picture perfect life with the woman of our dreams.    Just drop it.  I’ll stay away from Annie,” spinning on his heel he walks inside to see Audriana squeal at seeing Annie.

“Is he here?  Annie, is my Brookie here?” 

“No, sweet girl.  Maybe we can call him later,” Audriana’s face falls for a moment before Carter comes up behind her, to pick her up, spinning his baby around in a circle.  “Mr. Baizen, it’s not what it seems.”

Story looks over at Carter, with a toddler Rosie in her arms, giving him and Annie an questioning look, “I understand.  I think you have some things to think about, and process though.  How about, the rest of you lot, go get bathing suits on.  We’re going on the boat.”

“My king?”

“Story, not now.  Go get Veda and Rosie dressed.  Zephyr’s going to help me get the boat ready.  Arlo, you, too.  Don’t go near the girls’ bedroom, just straight out to the boat.”

“Yes, sir,” Arlo says.  He walks past Zephyr who gives him a playful smack to the back of the head.

“Baizen, you go easy on that sweet boy.  He’s done nothing wrong, but start dating your oldest princess.  Come on, Rosie Osie, let's get you and sissy your new bathing suits on.”

“And then, I get to be back with Daddy?”

“Yes, Veda.  You’ll get to be with daddy the rest of the day, okay?” Zephyr grabs up his oldest daughter, tossing her in the air, before he peppers kisses all over her.  Thanking his mom for getting them dressed.  “Maybe daddy can find him a nice girl to bring home.”

“Ma!”

“I’m just saying.  I made pretty babies.  And not one of you but Brookie has a steady girlfriend.”

“Hey!”

“Baby, I’m sorry,” she walks past Raiden, giving him a sweet little belly rub.  “I just like grandbabies, not from you, though.  You finish school first.  Sorry Birdie,” the sweet girl gives her a smile, but agrees completely.  “Come on girlies, let's get dressed, and go on the boat.”

_______________________

Otto sits on the sand, hearing his family giggling and laughing in the pool behind him.  This had been a draining day at best.  Every part of him had longed to keep touching Annie.  He doesn’t want to toot his own horn, but he’s pretty sure she wanted it, too.  He looks out to the horizon, wishing he would have grabbed a joint from Zephyr, because he could really use the escape.  

He hated this.  Hated feeling that he was in a constant losing battle.  “Otts,” Zephyr laughs, throwing a plastic shovel at Otto’s back.  “I brought the good stuff,” lighting up the joint, he passes it over to Otto for a quick toke.  “So, what’s going on?”

“Nothing.”

“Nothing, as in a pretty redhead, Otto obsessed with redheads, said redhead is dating baby brother?”

“Nothing,” Otto deadpans, taking another drag.

“You were on the couch sleeping together.”

“Nothing happened.”

“Yeah.  My wife had a man sleeping on our couch, too.  A few of them actually.  Passed out in various rooms of our house, remember that?  Remember me finding her passed out in the bathroom, with Rosie crying on the floor?  I couldn’t find Veda.”

“This is different.  Don’t guilt trip me.”

“It’s different, because you’re not on drugs?” Otto shrugs, unsure where to take this conversation.  “Look, you could seriously get any girl.”

“So could you.”

“I’m healing.  Gimme that shit,” he grabs the pot from Otto, taking a long puff.  “Man, sometimes I just want something to pound into.  But I don’t know about relationships,” Otto snorts, looking at his brother.  “Yeah, I know.  I fall in love fast, and that’s how I ended up with a psycho bitch.  Got two of the most beautiful girls in the world though.  And Otto who doesn’t date, but is falling for your brother’s girl.  You know he’s only dating her because she’s a redhead.  He only wants to be just like you.”

“Yep, it’s true,” Archer reaches for the joint, before sitting down.  “Raiden won’t be joining us.  He’s in training.  He doesn’t just know I brought some mushrooms.”

“God, don’t give that giant psychedelics.  Who is going to carry him when he’s tripping?  Archie don’t!  You hit send.  Explain that to mom.”

“Explain what to your mother?” Carter asks, sitting down between Zephyr and Archie, his hands already reaching for the joint.  

“That Archie brought hallucinogens for Raiden.”

“Hey, I want that guy to have fun.  It flushes out of your system.  Practice will be a breeze for him.  Why is he getting drug tested?  He’s not in season.  It’s spring,” Zephyr shrugs, while Carter laughs.  “Ah!  There he comes now.  Big guy,” reaching in his pocket, he throws the bag of pills to him.  “Arleigh made these last week.  You’re good.”

“You’re giving me drugs my future mother-in-law made?  This feels wrong.  Dad, have you ever taken drugs from Mimi?”

“No.  From Papa, yes.  Gummies.”

“Papa doesn’t,” Carter nods his head at Archer, who starts laughing.  “I want to see Papa high.”

“No.  You don’t.  Trust me on that.  I wish Brooks could be here.”

“Yeah, but he’s working,” Carter shoots a glaring look at Otto, taking another hit from the joint before handing it to Zephyr.  “He’s always working.”

“And you’re always here.  By the way, I moved into your spacious office.  I figured you weren’t coming back.  Ow,” Archer grabs his arm, where Otto had elbowed him.  “What’s the deal with Brookie?  Is he starting a branch or a company?  Should have already had that up and running,” Zephyr gives a quick nudge to Otto, shaking his head.  “Rai, how many of those did you take?”

“Five.  Me big boy.  Me handle it fine.”

“You caveman.  It’s a wonder how you’ve managed to get Birdie Mae.”

“Because I’m not looking for someone to replace mom? Just a thought.  Stop it, or face the wrath of Rai Man,” he gives Archer a karate chop.  “There’s only one mom.  Dad’s already scored her.”

“Ten times,” all the boys groan, and kick a bit of sand at him.  “Easy.  Boys, all I have ever wanted is for you to feel fulfilled in your life.  Whether it’s alone, with a man or with a woman.  Just be fulfilled and happy.”

“And happy!” Zephyr reaches behind him to a cooler, passing everyone a beer, but Raiden.  “Sorry, you’re a minor.”

“For like four months.  Gimme that.”

____________________________________________

Story stands at the top of the steps watching her boys.  Their laughter is carried on the wind, but she never goes to sleep without telling Carter goodnight.  Veda and Rosie already asleep in her bed beside Audriana, so she has a small window.  She wishes that her itty bitty baby could be here.  Misses him more everyday since he doesn’t call.  

This is what she had always hoped for.  Carter surrounded by his boys, being able to be their friend instead of just their father.  And her husband looked so happy.  Even with his high as a kite laugh.  With a sigh, she picks up her dress, hearing her biggest baby cry in distress.

“Raiden, quit your screaming.”

“It’s no good.  Ma!” he gets excited as she walks down to them.  Leaning over Carter to give him a kiss.  “Mom, I need belly rubs.”

“How is she going to rub your belly with chicken feet for hands?” Zephyr laughs laying back on the sand.  

“Mama, why do you have chicken feet on your hands?” 

“Oh, good grief,” she says, placing a hand on Raiden’s belly, giving him a little belly rub.  “Zephyr Christopher, would you please stop it.”

“That’s not my name.”

“It is now.  You want to torture my baby.  You get a new name.”

“You called me Zephyr Christopher.  I’m Zephyr Anders.  Take it back.”

“Yeah, well, I can’t put you boys in timeout anymore, so I call you the wrong name,” she gives Raiden a pat to his belly, and kisses the top of his head.  Making her rounds, to kiss all of them good night.”

“I mean, she’s called me Carter James Baizen.”

“You called dad after uncle Jamey,” Zephyr’s eyes completely closes, as he gives his dad a dopey laugh.

“No she didn’t!” Archer squeals.

“I’ve been Otto Steven before.”

“I’m Archer Beck.  Caught her calling Brookie, Brooks Buchanan Baizen.”

“Ma!  You are over here switching are names passive aggressively.  What’s Raiden’s?  Go on.  Tell us what the baby boy’s name is,” Zephyr asks, still laying back on the sand, his own hands starting to rub his belly.

“I’m Raiden Jensen.  Mom?  Seriously, what are we gonna do about your hands?  My belly still feels funny.”

“Go find Birdie Mae.”

“Oh!  Okay.  Burd-Dee!  I’m coming, baby.  No I’m not,” he sits back down, falling back to look up at the moon.  “When will it stop?”

“What is he on Baizen?” giving Carter a little tug to his hair, to look up at her.  “Baizen?”

“I didn’t do it.  That was Archie.”

“He would never.”

“He did, Ma.  And Zeph turned you into a chicken.”

“I’m bringing blankets.  Baizen, don’t let any of you drown.  I’m quite fond of you guys most of the time, but maybe you need to sleep out here.”

“My Queen, I’ll make sure all of us make it up to the house shortly.  I’ve spent enough nights away from you.  I won’t be spending another.  How many are in our bed?”

“The youngest three.  Audi is a bit upset that her Brookie isn’t here.  Maybe you should call him?” Otto rolls his eyes, before laying into the sand.  “He can at least spend a day and a night.  Take Annie home with him.  It’s out of the way for us.  We’ll make sure she gets home, but still.”

“I’ll call him,” she turns to leave, but Carter grabs her hand, “I love you Story Baizen.”

“Love you, too, Sir Lancelot.”

“Eh!”

“I love you Carter Rory Baizen.”

That Akumatized LukAdriNette AU but now they got milkshakes

Luka: "So... you haven't exactly been looking for Ladybug and the earrings"

Princess Justice: "Nope!"

Luka: "And... that's not upsetting Hawkmoth?"

Chat Blanc: "Oh he's pissed, honestly won't stop yelling at us"

Luka: "Uh-huh... if he's so upset with your both, how come he hasn't, ya know, taken back the akuma?"

Princess and Blanc, loudly slurping their milkshakes and ignoring the question

Luka: "Loves?"

Blanc: "Weeeell..."

Princess: "He tried already"

Blanc: "Multiple times"

Princess: "Every day"

Luka: "...how are you still akumatized then?"

Princess: "The akuma he sent after me was a superpowered one and it basically doubled itself when Chat held me and I guess even a superpower has drawbacks"

Blanc: "His drawback being that he can't actually control us like he did Evillustrator that one time. He can't even read my mind or else he would already know where Ladybug and Adrien are like he keeps asking us"

Princess: "So how's the search going for Hawky anyway? How's the team? I know you haven't seen them, but I know you've been texting them"

Luka: "The team is fine, Tikki said she's safe, and Rena thinks they're almost ready to fight your boss."

- Elsewhere -

Marc, writing the script of the comic while in his room and talking to Rena via his Bugphone: "Wait, wait... Rena, are you telling me that Hawkmoth is Chat Noir's dad?"

Rena Rouge, in her room doing research with her Foxphone in one hand: "You heard me, New Bug. I've had the whole team looking into things while you did your thing. I even got that Akuma Class to help, and all the signs lead to Hawkmoth and Mayura being Chat's parents, so now we just need to know who Chat is and we'll know who Hawkmoth is."

Marc: "...This shit only happens in comic books and anime, when did we start living in an anime??"

Chapter 53 - The Stakeout

[ Felix ]

My plan is working out so perfectly, I honestly can't believe it! I didn't slip up once about Felix and Suzie's secret stakeout, not even when Dad asked me if we had any plans for tonight.

"Uhm, no, maybe we'll watch Frozen II again, you know… in our pajamas and stuff…" My innocent act is so convincing, Dad doesn't suspect a thing.

Hee hee, I'm so clever! I always break out in giggles whenever I imagine the surprise on Dad's face when he sees us at the movie's, even though I haven't decided yet if we're going to stay hidden or reveal ourselves. Guess we'll just see how it goes and wing it.

I make a big show out of searching for my bunny I just can't sleep without and who I find stuffed into a corner underneath my bed ('How did you get in there?') and packing up my things, including the DVD I'm pretending we're going to watch, snickering to myself at my deception skills.

Dad drops me off at Suzie's house well before we're supposed to leave, which gives us enough time to hole up in her room that is refreshingly un-girly, to talk over our plan one final time.

"Remember, no dawdling, we need to get to the movie's early, did you tell your mom that?" Suzie nods enthusiastically, she's a really great partner to have!

"Yup. I've told her about a thousand times, she's getting so annoyed at me whenever I bring it up. Did you confirm that we do have the right movie theater? It would be such a shame if we went to the wrong one!"

"Mh-hm, check! I asked my dad about his plans today, like I don't even care that much about them. It's so funny that I know all about it, like when and with whom he's going but he still keeps it a secret, as if I wasn't smart enough to figure some stuff out on my own!"

"Good, good. Oooh I'm so excited, Felix!"

"Me tooo! I can't wait until it's time to leave!" We jump around on her bed with glee, to burn off some of our nervous energy until we're tuckered out on the bed, still holding our stomachs with laughter.

And then, oh boy I'm so nervous, it's time to leave for the movies. Suzie and I tumble over ourselves to get in the car and her mom gives us a mildly exasperated look from the front seat, asking "Everybody ready?"

Heck yeah, I was born ready, bring it on!

"Would you like to get some popcorn guys?" I can barely hear Suzie's mom's question, too busy scanning the crowd for a familiar with an unfamiliar face.

"Uh huh!," I answer absent-mindedly, my heart jumping when I see someone I think is my dad, but who turns out to only have the same haircut. The suspense is killing me!

"Where are they?" My voice is an urgent whisper only Suzie's supposed to hear but she just shrugs, looking over the crowd herself with eagle eyes.

[ DS ]

Waiting all dressed up for a night at the movie's, I'm waiting on the stairs to my bedroom, checking my watch every five second's because I'm so anxious, I forget the time the second I look away from the watch. Mulder's late for our date, which is quite unusual for him and I'm this close to freaking myself out into thinking he's going to stand me up tonight.

Which is crazy, he's confirmed it so many times in the last three days, the rational side of my brain states matter-of-factly, while the little part of me that's been stood up and/or ghosted plenty of times in the past is currently anxiously breathing into a paper bag. Scared half to death that this is the other shoe about to drop, no-one could be this perfect. Could they?

Saved from further falling down that particular rabbit hole of self-doubt by the literal doorbell, I'm across the front hall in a relieved dash, opening the door to reveal my very handsome date, grinning sheepishly over a bouquet of daisies.

"Sorry I'm late, you can't imagine how hard it is to get a hold of daisies in January!" He steps into the doorway and into my personal space to slip his free hand to the small of my back to pull me closer, lean down and press a gentle kiss to my smiling lips. "Hi!"

It's simple and sweet, but it doesn't fail to tingle in all the right places and a few wrong ones, for standing in the doorway at least. It takes a few breathless moments to drag back my mind from going down the path of Just drag him upstairs, movie be damned.

"Hi! Thank you, how did you know daisies are my favorite flowers?" The hand has not left it's spot on my back, now it's tracing maddeningly slow circles over the silky material of my dress as his lips turn upwards into a self-satisfied smirk. Maybe he picked up on the tiny flush on my cheeks or the imperceptible hitch of my breath when the thought of how much I'd like to discover how his hand would feel underneath all the silk. Heaven help me, I don't think I'll survive sitting next to him at the movies, smelling so heavenly and looking so delicious in his casual grey shirt and jeans.

"I used my impeccable deducting skills as a profiler, handkerchief and the name you picked out at Starbuck's and all that… so I took a wild guess. You should maybe put these in some water." Even if his arm wasn't wrapped around my waist with no intention of letting go anytime soon, I wouldn't trust my wobbly legs to take me to the kitchen without falling.

Dimly aware that we're cutting it kind of close to get to the movies on time, I can't resist the temptation of running my hands up the soft cotton on his chest and around his neck, toying with the hair on the back of his neck that I know will make his breath hitch.

"You're probably right… " Another hitched breath when I press my nose into his neck, pretending not to breathe in his aftershave too obviously. "But you look too handsome to let go just now." His bashful chuckle and an indiscernible mumble I think is supposed to be "Oh stop, you…" makes me smile into his freshly shaved, smooth neck.

"Guys. If you're going to make out in the doorway all night, can you at least close the door? It's getting cold in here!" The icy glare I shoot over my shoulder at Holly, leaned against the archway into the living room, arms crossed and smirk on her face, doesn't faze her one bit. "Besides, didn't you want to see a movie?"

Regretfully, the hand on my back leaves its spot the second she started to speak and I already miss its warmth, even though I'm sure it'll find its way back to that spot sometime later tonight anyway.

"I'll …uh.. put these in some water."

[ FM ]

I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to survive sitting next to Scully in that dress for almost two hours without a misdemeanor for public indecency, my heart still so elated from her calling me handsome. I'm glad I kept that embarrassed giggle to myself, guys don't get complimented even half as often as they'd like and most of the time it's in answer to telling a woman she's beautiful, with a 'You don't look so bad yourself.' Which doesn't even feel half as good as a genuine compliment.

In my daze after our close encounter at the door, I somehow manage to remember on our way to the kitchen that I haven't told her how absolutely amazing she looks in her dress yet. A gross oversight I correct immediately, earning myself an embarrassed giggle and the flash of a bright smile from Scully.

Daisies placed in a glass vase and decorating the girls's kitchen table from now on, we're finally off to the movies, just a tad later than planned. The whole car ride, my hand clutching the steering wheel itches to place itself on the exposed skin just above her knee, if I wasn't so sure not to run a red light or two with that kind of distraction.

————

[ Felix ]

I stare at the big clock in the foyer of the movie theater in horror, watching the minute hand inch forward bit by bit, growing more antsy with every passing minute. It's already 6:20pm and I'm actually so antsy, I've already stuffed half of my popcorn bag into my mouth and drank a good part of my soda.

"What if they're not coming?" Suzie whispers to me anxiously for the thousandth time tonight, only adding to my own worries.

Then, after almost an eternity, my heart leaps into my throat beating so hard I can actually feel its erratic beating in my neck, I spot Dad's head over the crowd of people waiting for the movie to start. He's wearing the biggest grin I've ever seen on his face, but even when I crane my neck and shift left and right, I can't see who he's talking to. Darn it, why do I have to be so short?

Time stops for me and the racing heartbeat in my throat when the crowd parts just enough for me to see and what I see makes me wish I never came to this stupid movie theater in the first place.

With a painful twisting of my stomach, a thousand times worse than when Simon kicked me in there at recess one time, I discover that the person he's got his arm wrapped around, leaning down to whisper something in her ear that makes her laugh, is no other than Miss Scully. My Miss Scully!

The other people's laughter, the crunch of their popcorn, the rustling of the tickets in their hands, the teenage-boy yelling behind the counter - "Do you want butter on that popcorn?" - are far too loud in my ears as the world as I know it shatters into a million pieces right before my eyes.

No, no, no, this is not happening! This is not my dad, pulling my Miss Scully into a kiss with a hand on her cheek, ruining what I thought would be just a fun story to tell in the future, how I cleverly found out the identity of a stranger.

Frozen to the spot, I stare at them in open-mouthed shock, hands clenched tightly around both popcorn and cup, holding my breath in hope of waking up from this nightmare. I count to ten slowly, expecting to open my eyes any second to find myself back in my room, in the safety of my warm bed, my world in which my dad would never lie to me still intact.

Christmas. Since Christmas, all they did was lie to me, sneaking around behind my back, probably snickering at my attempts to uncover the secret identity of Squirrel, who was under my nose all along, stupid baby Felix was just too blind to see it.

“Felix!” Suzie squeals out next to me, jumping back from the splashes of my soda cup and the few kernels of popcorn I didn't even realize I've let go of. The sound of my name turns Dad’s head sharply, searching the crowd until our eyes lock across the crowded room, shocking me back into action.

Trampling over my scattered, soda soaked popcorn, weaving my way past the laughing people, past Dad who I see out of the corner of my eye is pushing his way through the crowds himself, past the coat-check and out the double doors onto the busy street.

A huge, ugly ball of emotions is burning a hole in my stomach and my chest is painfully tight, the stiff January breeze freezing the hot tears on my cheeks in seconds

I’ve already made up my mind on my way out, the only clear thought I’m able to make in my confusion. I'm running away.

From the two people I thought I could trust, but who've lied to me for weeks, to the only safe place I can think of. Grandma's house. It can't be that far to run to, I think, but I might have to stop and ask a stranger for directions to New Haven. “Hi, I’m Felix and I’m lost, can you help me please?”

Over the sounds of the bustling of a city full of strangers that have no idea why a little boy without a coat is tearing down the sidewalk, I can hear Dad's hot on my heels, calling out my name over and over, yelling for me to please stop.

Ignoring his pleas in a blind panic, I run as fast as my little legs will go, if I can only get across that street, onto the square, I can disappear into the crowd and never go back.

Just when I think I've almost made it, two familiar arms around my waist scoop me up from the sidewalk, effectively stopping all my plans to start a new life with Grandma. No! Let me go! I need to get to Grandma's house!

Kicking and screaming stuck in the worst tantrum of my life, the people passing by glance our way uncomfortably, I claw at his arms to break free from the death grip he keeps around my waist. The will to fight leaves my body with each kick and every scream until I've tired myself out enough for Dad to set me back down onto the sidewalk.

Trembling and freezing cold, I let Dad turn me around to surrender into the only safe space I’ve known my entire life. Sobbing all the hurt, the fear, the betrayal and the confusion into the shoulder of his shirt that smells like our laundry detergent, his familia Dad-smell, safety and home.

His hands stroking my back and my hair are so familiar, I instinctively wrap my arms around him too, clinging to him like a baby Koala bear. "I'm sorry, Felix. I'm so sorry.," he apologizes into my hair over and over again, he sounds so genuinely upset, I slowly, very slowly, start to believe him.

After having my world turned upside down and then turned right side up again in just a few minutes, I'm suddenly so very tired and also really, really cold without my coat to keep me warm.

"I want to go home, Dad." I admit quietly into his shoulder, casting a glance at the group of people standing a little off to the side with anxious faces, the most anxious and guilty of all is Miss Scully, arms wrapped around herself shivering so hard in the cold, I feel really bad for her for a moment. No! I'm the victim here, silly little Felix who's always kept out of the loop of anything important. Did they ever stop to think about me, at all?

“Okay, come on, I’ll take you home baby!” I’m too weak to give my usual protests of being called ‘baby’, hiding my blotchy face from the outside world in his neck as Dad picks me up effortlessly and carries me back inside to retrieve our coats.

The others follow without a word, unsure of what to do with themselves right now. Suzie and her mom excuse themselves shortly after shrugging on their coats, clearly uncomfortable by the sudden turn of events, and head back home.

Still dazed and confused, I let Dad place me onto my car seat and buckle me in, something he hadn't had to do in years, ever since I figured out how to do it all by myself.

I glance over his shoulder to the movie theater entrance to spot Miss Scully still standing there, alone, looking just as sad and lost and small as I feel right now, which gives me a little guilty pang to the stomach. Because deep down, even if I’m mad and sad at the same time for what they did, I hate seeing that look on her face. After all, I’ve made it my mission a long time ago to make her smile as often as possible, with jokes and stories and fun facts - and a good agent never abandons his mission, I know that from Dad!

She turns to leave as well, where to I have no idea, because she clearly came here with Dad and is definitely not dressed warm enough for a walk back to our town. I don't want her to go home by herself all sad and I really don't want her to freeze to death, either!

In a split second, I've made up my mind, swallow around the lump in my throat and tap my dad's arm to get his attention.

"Hey… Dad? We can’t let her walk home by herself! Can you ask her to come, too?" Unnecessarily, I point to who I mean with her, even though I'm pretty sure Dad knows exactly who I mean.

[ FM ]

This night started out as a dream come true and somewhere along the way, it derailed into an absolute nightmare. The guilt about Felix finding out about our relationship like this sits like a boulder in the pit of my stomach, his reaction almost broke my heart in two. And now, even in all his inner turmoil, he doesn't want Scully to leave on her own, which makes the guilt even worse.

"Scully, wait!," I call out to her, jogging over to where she stops, a surprised look on her face. This all went so horribly wrong in all ways possible and I have no idea what to say, except to relay Felix's request nestled in-between a tumble of apologetic words.

"I'm so sorry, for all of this, I had no idea Felix was going to be here and I'm sorry you had to see his reaction and the scene we've caused and now he wants you to come home with us too and I completely understand if you don't want to because this is all so much and-" I'm rambling because I'm afraid that the second I stop talking, she'll tell me I must be crazy, she didn't sign up to deal with the emotional outbursts of a seven-year old - I've been on the receiving end of many a 'Thanks, but no thanks, I'd date you if you didn't come with a son in tow'. And then, with a reassuring squeeze of my hand and two simple letters, I'm once again proven wrong in my predictions.

"Okay."

————

[ Felix ]

The car ride back to our house is one of the most uncomfortable ones I've ever had, we're all too lost in our own thoughts, processing. I think I've never heard silence quite this loud.

My mind is going a mile a minute, a million questions popping into my head all at the same time that I'm not quite ready to ask yet. I feel like I've been thrust into the deep end of the pool, without water wings or floaties, my two worlds colliding so hard, it makes my head spin.

Part of me is still stuck on being angry about them lying to me, part of me is awfully scared that everything will change from here on out, but during the silent car-ride, a small voice creeps into my head that innocently asks if I ever thought about this maybe turning out to be a good thing. I need to make a pro and con list, to make up my mind once and for all. Yes, that's what I'll do.

Not tonight, though, tonight all I can do is shuffle droopy-eyed and yawning widely on the short walk into our house and all I can think of is tugging my dad upstairs to brush my teeth and tuck me into my waiting bed.

Half-way up the stairs, I realize with a start that I've forgotten to do something, something very important that makes me turn back around even though I can practically hear my bed calling out my name.

Wrapping my arms tightly around the very special person still standing in our front hall in her coat and heels, who hugs me back after a brief moment of surprise.

"Goodnight, Miss Scully!"

DID THEY ACTUALLY PUT THE JAYA SHIP NAME INTO THE SHOW??? OMG GUYS THE FANDOM IS TAKING OVER THE SHOW AT LAST!!! 🤯🤯🤯 The electric Jaya, heeeyy, niiicee 😎😎😎

HOW CUTE CAN YOU BE

MY SHIP 💙❤💙❤ They even gave each other high gives... this is neat, and it means something awful will happen right 🙂

Commissioner: he's saying something about a giant snake... and the end of the world... didn't we already have something like that?

Okay yep, he did the trick while fighting Nya, dang Kalmaar is sneaky! Not too shabby... but I gotta say, the summoning of the Great Devourer was a lot more dramatic 🤣🤣 Props to the serpentine, still my favorite snakes 💪💪

Wojira seems to be a little smaller than the Devourer maybe? His head way bigger than the bounty, while hers is not that massive even in comparison with Kalmaar

I might be wrong but at first glance, I stand by my opinion and by the superiority of the OG giant snake 🤷‍♀️

Yep Glutine guy did have a change of heart, better late than never 🤷‍♀️

You're telling me that Jay doesn't do engineering anymore, okay... HOW IS KAI A BETTER SOLUTION??? 🤣🤣🤣 Lol look at the messy brothers, love Lloyd and Kai so much I miss them interact 💚❤💚❤

Thank you Kelly for the alert 😗

It makes me wonder if they actually do have simulations of evacuations often, it would be pretty smart considering the city 🤷‍♀️

OKINO IS THERE HI DUDE!!! 😍 I hope he's doing great! 🥰🥰

Gail Gossip! Been a while!

WOW, this is going Deluge like, my first Spinjitzu Master! 😱 How... how do we go with three episodes from here? Like, I'm guessing Nya will have to do what Nyad did before her (which TERRIFIES me), so are they going to struggle trying to find another way? IDK BUT I'M IN LET'S GO!! 🤯

ASSAULT ON NINJAGO CITY

Alright, pretty straightforward title, let's see what we got here!

Tourists?... that actually makes sense, I mean, I would want to visit all the places where history was made on this island 😍 Aww nice to see they remember the battle against Garmy of Hunted, also that it is known that Jay was the one who faced Unagami 👍👍

DARETH!!! 🤎🤎🤎

Where have you been you knucklehead, I've missed you! 💕 I think I've last seen him in a commercial from the Fire Chapter?

This is a terrible guide 😵 Not knowing the brown ninja? Owner of the dojo the Green Ninja had trained in? Brief commander of the Stone Army? Master of makeup and puffy potstickers? Unforgivable, someone fire this woman ASAP 😡😡

LOOK AT DARETH TAKING CHARGE!!! 🤩 He's right, he should get involved every once in a while, come on guys!

Ah okay good, I'm not the only one struggling with that google snake name 😂

Yay Bentho is fully integrated with the team! He is a great addiction, like, I know he'll probably take the throne at the end or something but I do hope we'll need his help again in the future! 💙

Sometimes I forget how much I love Kai and Zane interacting 🤣 The brainiac and the airhead 🤍❤🤍❤

Oh right, Cole came back from Shintaro! So... now in this extremely secret city there is a fake amulet hanging into a highly secured place... how is it always Shintaro the keeper of flukes? 😂😂

A bath as a boat but it has a whole 😂😂 I love this show's randomness

What ears are they supposed to cover 😅

I LOVE THIS ATMOSPHERE!!! 😍😍😍 Between the gray sky of storm and the sea underneath, this is the perfect scenario for Wojira and it's not even forced! I love how they are handling backgrounds for Ninjago recently, I really hope it gets as good as in the finale of Prime Empire 💙💙💙

AAAAAAHHHHHhhhhh okay for a moment I was scared Wojira was going to eat Jay 😅 After The Island this is already the second time Bluebell risks it... STOP

WHY THE CLIFFHANGER!?!?

NUUUUU WHAT NOW??? 😱😱😱 We have two more episodes, how is this going to end? I DON'T KNOW AND I REALLY WANT TO PLEASE GIVE ME A GOOD FINALE SEABOUND!!! 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

NYAD

I AM SCARED FOR MY WATER LILY OKAY

Daaaang she can just float on that? She got super good at controlling water! Now I want her and Kai just randomly flying around with their powers 😂😂 Kai got missiles in his hands come on 🔥🔥🔥

JAY CAN YOU LET ME WORRY ABOUT YOU GUYS ONE AT THE TIME??? 😱

What would Kai do? WHAT WOULD KAI DO?? DID YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO DIE JAY WHY WOULD YOU THINK OF HIM??? ... although technically Kai is the only one with Jay who didn't straight up die before coming back to life in a dramatic moment... huh... Kai might be the most reasonable choice after all 😅

We grew up from Ninja never quit to NINJA AREN'T IDIOTS AND KNOW WHEN TO GET THE HECK OUT 😎😎 Even our motto got a character development 💪

JAY NOOOOOOOO 😱😱😱😱

BENTHO YAAAAAAASSSS 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Did I ever say that I love shark boy? BECAUSE I FREAKING DO!! 💙

Master prankster Wu once again, take that empty ship Calamari head 😎 Although the poor bounty doesn't deserve to get destroyed as many times as it did until now, it's my favorite ship... pun intended 😜

Ah more ninjajan, wait a moment

"Auto Pilot". Fair enough, although I was hoping for a "psych" or something 😂😂

NO WAIT NO WHAT THE HECK!!! I THOUGHT JAY GOT SAVED HE INHALED WATER??!? BLUEBELL NOOOO!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

But Cole running to his best friend immediately? HECK yes 🖤💙🖤💙

NYA CARRYING HER BOYFRIEND BRIDAL STYLE THIS IS THE RIGHTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!! ❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙 Gosh this season gave me amazing Jaya moments, I've been fed 👌👌

Okay Lloyd pacing back and forth? Kai already mad at their enemies? All the guys eager to help Jay? MY FAVORITE NINJA FAMILY BABY!!! 😎😎

I NEED A MOMENT 😭

Oh... oh gosh I knew Nya doing the Nyad thing was meant to happen, but this way? My heart is melting already 😭

I remember a post that said that Jay told Nya that he loves her many times, while she never did. Tommy reponded that she lets her actions speak... boy do I see it now, I see all of her love 😢😢

I never felt such conflicting emotions for a villain like I do for Kalmaar, like, he caused so much pain to Nya... but he is voiced by Giles... but he is the reason Jay is hurt... but that startle gag 😂😂😂

Okay this? Is adorable?

What the HECK? The police in this city is generally not very helpful, but the Commissioner is very wholesome 💜

Nyaaaaaaa 😭😭😭😭 I didn't think it was possible to love her even more, she was ignored for so long during the show, but now we finally see all of her. She is an amazing warrior, a selfless person, and a real hero 💪💪 And coming from such a mature girl that doesn't like to act irrationally, this means so much more

Jaya grew up so much, it went through some very questionable phases yes, but what they have here? It's the result of all they had lived together 💙❤💙❤

I have chills, this is amazing so far, I'm legit scared of going further 😱

SHE SAID IT!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Okay this moment, everything, EVERYTHING, is absolutely marvelous. Nya said I love you without a voice, alone, showing again that she values the actions more, but still her feelings are 100% truthful. Then the transformation (THERE IT IS HER BEAUTIFUL WATER FORM 😍😍😍), Jay getting saved, the realization of what she just did from everyone... DANG IT IT'S ALL BEAUTIFUL HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO THINK OF THIS SCENE???

*slow clap for Bragi, Tommy, and the Ninjago crew*

Jay and water Nya with their hands together gives me big The Form of Water vibes... LOVE THAT MOVIE WHO'S READY FOR AN AU??

Jay wants to help her, I had no doubt 💙 They always help each other in these BOUNDs seasons 😍😍😍

Kalmaar: where are the ninja??

Commissioner: I don't know, they are ninja!

FINAL BATTLE INCOMING AAAAHHH I HOPE THIS WILL HAVE A GOOD ENDING OMG BRING IT!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

THE TURN OF THE TIDE

Oh, curious title? It feels a little vague, I don't really know what it could be

YES GIRL GO GET HIS CALAMARI BUTT HECK YES!!! Just how cool can you be for walking slowly while the attacks go straight through you? 😂

Hey Nya still recognizes Jay! 😃😃

HEY NYA GOT VAPORIZED WTH 😱😱 It's too early, I don't believe that's it!

WHOA JAY WENT BERSERK JUST NOW!! I don't think I've seen this before, this is the coolest thing! 💙💙💙 I just love when he shows how strong he is, you can be a comic relief AND kick butts 😎

FIGHTING ANIMATIONS MAN I LOVE THESE SCENES!! 😍😍😍

What the- was... was that a cameo of the lightning chicken? Ninjago what the HECK I love your randomness 😂😂

BENTHOMAAR TAGS IN!!! Showing off why he is best boy of the season 💙 These fightings are very cool but I can't help imagining Wojira just chilling while there are midgets getting very angry at each other onto her head 🤣🤣🤣

WHOA, CALAMARI BITE! Kalmaar got the Pythor treatment... might change color by next season if he returns 😅

(Please return I loved having Giles' voice in this season 💙💙💙)

NYA IS A DRAGON!!! I REPEAT NYA IS A DRAGON!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I was wondering where the dragon moment was, this is Ninjago after all 🤷‍♀️

Head empty, just Jay smiling softy at Nya because he loves her 💙💙💙

IT'S RAINING NYA, HALLELUIA IT'S RAINING NYA, HEYE!! ☔☔☔ This fight is MASSIVE! We had finales with big creatures before but now one of the ninja is big enough to face them and that's 🤯

NYA DID IT!!! 🤩🤩🤩 ... now onto the angst that I KNOW it's coming

Kai being unbelieving is tragic, and Jay's "don't leave me" broke my heart. Please end this misery, where is the deus ex machina that solves everything?

Wait she left?

...

WAIT SHE ACTUALLY LEFT??? WHAT THE HECK THEY AREN'T ENDING IT LIKE THIS

...

OH MY GOSH

ARE THEY?!?

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Omg the grief in this is beautiful, nice to see Jay and Maya so close to each other! Also Kai leaning onto his mom while Cole is comforting his best best friend? Amazing, they really do these scenes great 👌

EVERYONE SHOWED UP I LOVE THIS CITY SO MUCH 😭😭😭 Aww Ed and Edna, wasn't this such a sad situation I would be so much happier to see you guys 🥺

Master Wu even mentioned that she built Samurai X, you really want to make me cry now do you? 🥺🥺

MAYA AND RAY 😢😢😢😢😢😢

Omg look at Cole being there for his best friend, he is amazing 🖤💙🖤💙

I have such Rebooted vibes from this... is it hopeful? That Nya comes back like Zane? She's no nindroid but still... oh my gosh they got her symbol on the vase I just noticed, I need more tissues 😭😭

"In loving memory of Kirby Morrow". Always in our hearts 🖤🖤🖤

...

Wow

WOW

THEY ACTUALLY DID IT I NEED ANOTHER MOMENT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 WHAT IN THE WORLD THIS IS THE BIGGEST CHANGE THEY DID IN A WHILE!!!

AND NOW WHAT??? 🤯🤯🤯

FINAL THOUGHTS

I'm speechless... like that's true, have A LOT to write over here 😅

This type of plot twist reminds me of our early seasons. Zane sacrificing himself, Garmadon giving up his life, those moments that made me so curious and excited about the following. I have no idea what will be the outcome for this, but I can't wait to find out

With that out of the way, AMAZING SEASON 😍😍😍 I think this finale beats MoM's, just because it was really unexpected and opens up a SEA of possibilities... yeah too soon 😭

I'm still shaken, my world, they did something HUGE and I do hope it will be a good shake to the entire Ninjago plotline. Nya is "gone", we still don't know about the person behind all that vengestone, we haven't heard from Garmy in forever, there are so many good ideas out there now that they've set the ground for more 🤩🤩

Voice acting was *chef's kiss*, not only for the villain which I already stressed enough about, I think Kelly reached a new level of emotional intimacy with Nya and I'm so happy she showed her skills 💜💜

Animation is TOP, there's little to no point into saying anything else since they showed it very clearly in the latest season ☺

This was the emotional, witty and engaging writing I was looking for! Good jokes, meaningful dialogues, emotional scenes, everything was really good and I'm gonna rewatch some scenes especially for that 😍

It turned out having Maya and Ray back was kind of a distraction to fool us all 😅😅 Well played actually, and it was very cool seeing them again in any case 🙋‍♀️

And now? Jay lost his love, I have no idea if the show will work on him getting over her or hold onto her memory (thinking of Jay probably the latter, although I do think that handling the first would be an interesting idea). KAI LOST HIS SISTER 😢😢😢 I have no doubt he's gonna beat himself up for it, like he did when Zane was gone too. Everyone lost their friend, she had become such a vital part of the team and now she is not here anymore it will be hard...

They are back with the four plus one green savior formation, I sincerely don't know how I feel about that 😅 I'm always happy when we get the OGs, but this is about going on without Nya... maybe Skylor will be called? Or Pixal will be more active? That could be interesting to see, who knows 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Gosh, how are they going to handle the next season? It will have to give A LOT of answers to the millions questions we all have right now. Man I can't wait, it could be anything!!! This is a Ninjago revolution!

But if I have to mention a little complain, and I'm a fangirl so I absolutely have to, Kai didn't show much of a reaction to Nya's "departure". Okay, she didn't straight up die like in Skybound (I'm gonna fear all BOUND seasons from now on 😱), but he's her brother and he loves deeply his family. Either we're gonna see him go all out next season, or the writers really did only focus on Jaya. A tiny bit salty... but you got me a fantastic finale so I'll move on 👍

Outstanding, I'm blown away. Whenever I think I'm used to this show they do stuff like this. I'm so glad and sad you guys 😅 But mostly happy that despite everything I still get very strong emotions while I watch this long time favorite show of mine 💜💜💜

What else can I say at this point? ONTO NEXT SEASON!!! 🤩🤩🤩

Thank you for reading me freaking out over LEGO spinning ninja as always! It helps me calm down but this time it might be harder thant the others... *sobs*

I need to lay down and process all of this, I'll be on my way 😂😂 BYE!!! 💜

scrunchies & hoodies || p.jm

genre: fluff, romance

pairing: jimin x reader

background: fake relationship, highschool!au, to all the boys i've loved before theme, fluff!au.

word count: 1.5k

When you found out that your boyfriend cheated on you and told you that you were way out of his league and that you were too boring, you knew what you needed and wanted to do right away. Plus, the fact that he told you no one's gonna wanna be with you really hurt your ego so all you wanted to do was to slap him with the fact that he's not the only fish in the sea.

But, who? Who else besides him?

As you were running that day on the field, overthinking about the words thrown at you by your ex-boyfriend, you saw Park Jimin getting dumped by his supposedly ex-girlfriend by now.

At first you couldn't believe it. I mean, literally anyone in the school would kneel just to be friends with Jimin. Girls and gays would drool over him and his other friends during lunch time, and he seemed nice and friendly. A bit intimidating though because he's part of the jocks on your school but on top of all of that, he seemed really boyfriend.

"How rough was the break-up that you can't even go to the cafeteria because she'd be there?" You asked him when you found him alone in the rooftop, drinking some kind of strawberry milk.

That day was also the day you started going out, no– not really going out, dating Jimin.

It's a win-win situation. He wanted to get his girl back, and you wanted to prove your ex-boyfriend wrong. After that, when Eunji regrets dumping Jimin, and your ex admits that he regrets saying what he did, it's over. And you both agreed on that.

At that time, you didn't really care about falling for your sidekick because you were sure that you weren't, all you wanted was to slap your cheater ex-boyfriend and make him look like a fool for those words. It was childish, really. But that's what you both agreed on, nothing more, nothing less.

And so you both set rules for each other.

"And please, I know it's not a big deal for you, but it is for me. Less Kissing." You said and typed it down your notes. But as soon as you said that, you felt his plum lips on yours.

"Are you dumb? Didn't I–"

"Your ex was looking, don't turn around. Just smile." He whispered after leaning dangerously close to your ear.

No one was looking, though.

You've also went to several parties with him, which wasn't you at all. You only went to parties with Jimin knowing Eunji and your ex would be there, but you had to admit that those little hangouts with Jimin, and those deep talks after parties inside his car – it was really something. It made you realize that Park Jimin wasn't so bad after all. He was a good friend.

You looked at the ice cream in front of you before grabbing it. "You were craving, right?" He asked.

"Yeah, thanks. Really thoughtful, knowing your ex is looking." You both giggled after that but he shook his head and sat beside you. "Oh, this is good. Want some?"

He looked at the cone you were handing him over then looked at you. He moved your hand away and kissed your lips, which probably tasted like strawberry ice cream.

He made an impressed look and nodded. "I think I like strawberry way more now." And you swore that after he did that, a blush was very visible on your cheeks.

"You're making this whole fake relationship thing easier for them to believe, you know?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Yeah, what's wrong with that? You can just end up with each other.

"Not gonna happen." You said but snapped out of your thoughts as soon as he gave you a confused look. "I mean–"

"Yeah, I kinda know what you're thinking." He said and you noticed his little side smile. He stood up, lending a hand towards you. "I'm taking you home."

"What?"

"I'm taking you to your house, the fuck? What you high on?" He asked and grabbed your hand, tagging you along with him. You both agreed to not be sweet when nobody's looking, and you swore that by the time you were holding hands, everyone else in the field already left. You wanted to take your hand back but it felt, I don't know, right?

Having Park Jimin in a black hoodie and ripped jeans, with his backpack hung on one shoulder, his forehead showing, he looked really fucking attractive and boyfriend material, and it felt so right.

"Bro, you're a simp. I thought it was fake?" Taehyung, another attractive and hot as hell friend of Jimin, asked when they were alone inside the shower room. Jimin took a sharp breath and closed his gym bag.

"Tae, is it bad that I don't want this to be fake anymore?"

"Totally not. You two really made everyone believe that you were really together, it all looks real!" Jimin chuckled and left the room, but they both stopped when someone was already in front of the door.

"Guess Taehyung's voice is not just deep, huh? You can be loud whenever your voice wants to." Eunji said and patted Taehyung's chest. "Thank you, though. If it wasn't for you and your chitchats then I wouldn't know that Jimin here is just faking everything with Y/n."

Jimin bit the insides of his cheek and looked down, not really knowing what to feel. "Tryna make me jealous, Park?" He rolled his eyes, not wanting to say "yes" even though that was part of the plan.

"It's working." Eunji said before grabbing Jimin's collar and you know – kissing him, as cliché as it can get.

"Jimin," Taehyung said and forcefully pulled him away from Eunji, who was also forcefully kissing him. He lowkey pointed at where you were standing and Jimin looked at you, but the wrong move he did was he didn't do anything at all.

You gave him a thumbs up and a wide smile after that, from a distance, and jogged away when you realized that – they were probably back together. It was over, and all you needed to do was for him to bring your scrunchies back and for you to bring his hoodies back.

You were asking for another confirmation, and as you were walking home, you received one. A message from your ex. Which you totally forgot about after all this time being with Jimin.

I'm sorry for the words I said. Maybe I'm a dick after all, and you changed. For the best, because you were already better back then. You deserve each other. Just know that I'm deeply regretting that I hurt an innocent one.

You smiled at that note.

But it was a Saturday, and you were fucking lonely. All the Saturdays you had with Jimin were all fun and exciting, but today was different. It's been a week after you saw Jimin, Taehyung and Eunji in front of the shower room, and a week after you two supposedly broke up the whole fake relationship.

You decided to bring five of his hoodies with you as you walked to the rooftop where this whole fake relationship started.

Little did you know that he brought your scrunchies as well.

"Hi!" You forced a giggle and simply handed him his hoodies over. You noticed that he was wearing just a white shirt on, probably because he already ran out of hoodies. Or some may be with Eunji now, who knows?

"I guess we'll have to break up?" You forced a laugh once again and a smile after saying that, but he didn't answer. He just grabbed your wrist and made you wear five of your scrunchies. You chuckled upon having them back but stopped when you realized that this was it.

Being sad over this departure was certainly not part of the plan, and you surely didn't stick to it when you realized that you could no longer fake anymore smiles because you were that sad.

It made you even more devastated when he hugged you.

"Do you like me?" He asked while hugging you, which caught you off guard so you pulled away from him, giving him a confused expression. He looked down and chuckled. "Again, do you like me?"

"What–"

"I didn't kiss Eunji back that afternoon. I stood there not knowing what to do when I saw you because that day, I realized what I was really feeling for you and I didn't wanna admit it to myself that quick." He said and looked through your eyes. "And I'm still afraid – that's why I'm asking you this once and for all, Y/n."

He paused for a bit, mustering up all the courage he had, then caressed your face and pecked your lips. "Do you like me now?"

You remained silent, not really taking in what was happening but one thing's for sure.

You already fell. Hard.

"Because I do, Y/n. Harder than you can ever imagine."

oKAY this may be cringe??? for some 🤮 but i'm feeling all soft rn bc boyfriend pjm & i just finished watching to all the boys for like the 10th time ok bye ily :(

Road trip - the museum

@kenkopanda-art and her beautiful banner <3

Pairing: Levi x Reader.

Genre and tags: couple, modern AU, fluff, cute, fun.

Concept: On your long road trip with your lover, you ask if you can stop at a museum to explore. Levi agrees to it. You both explore the museum together, but you find out it's a strange one dedicated to UFOs, creatures like bigfoot and other odd beings. Levi hates it, but when he sees how excited you are he stays.

You rested your foot on the top of the door. You wiggled your toes as you enjoyed the wind rushing by. You loved the sun and that Levi had kept the top of the car down. You looked over at Levi as he gripped the wheel. You smiled when he glanced over at you and winked.

You looked down when he placed his hand on your thigh. "Careful Levi, last time you did something naughty."

He hummed. "I rather liked what happened last time."

You giggled and placed your hand on Levi's. "You're so naughty."

He smiled. "How about I pull over and we have a bit of fun?"

You slid Levi's hand up more, but you noticed a billboard. "What?" You sat up. "Oh! A museum!" You turned to Levi. "Can we?"

Levi let out a long sigh. "Okay."

"We'll have sex later."

He smiled a little. "Alright. I plan to camp out tonight and not stay in a dirty hotel."

You clapped your hands. "Fantastic! But we'll need to keep it down with the moans."

Levi let out a long sigh. "Fine. Party pooper." He turned down a small lane and drove up to the museum. He stopped the car and stared. "There's a flying saucer partly in the building."

You jumped over the car door and ran over. "Holy shit! This place is amazing!"

Levi pulled you close. "It's a good job I love you."

You giggled. "Love you too."

He pulled you into the museum and wrinkled his nose at the dirty counter top, it's lovely light wood covered in coffee rings. He flicked his gaze to the old man with yellow teeth and a toupee. Levi pulled you closer as the old man stared at your plump breasts.

Levi growled a little. "Two please."

The old man licked his lips slowly. "Sure."

Levi patted you on the bum. "Go in. I'll pay."

You kissed Levi's cheek. "Okay."

The old man chuckled. "Bet she's a fun ride, huh?"

Levi gritted his teeth and tossed the money on the counter. "You're a disgusting piece of shit, you know that? This place is filthy, you are filthy and the way you look at my lover is filthy."

"You're wound up, huh?" He grinned at Levi. "You need a good fuck. I'm guessing she isn't putting out."

"Least I get some from an incredible woman. You have a dirty museum about mythical things that aren't real."

The man huffed. "They are real! I've seen them for myself!"

You poked your head out from around the door. "Honey? You coming or what?"

Levi sighed. "Coming." He strolled over to you and hugged you. "Sorry. Let's look at the weird things."

You grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the sewn together weird animal. "Look at this."

Levi frowned. "That a duck and a fox sewn together?"

"Terrible taxidermy. The eyes are a bit off."

He hummed in thought. "This fun for you?"

You grinned. "Yes."

"You're an odd duckling. I love you."

You walked away from Levi to a Bigfoot room. "Quack, quack!" You stopped in your tracks. "Holy shit, Bigfoot room."

Levi looked around. "Foot prints, pictures, hair and shit? Great, I'm in looney land."

You squealed. "Look at this picture! Levi! Honey!?"

He walked over and hugged you from behind. "This is ridiculous."

You hummed. "I wonder how big his dick is."

Levi flinched at your words. "You want a guy with a big dick?"

You frowned. "What? No! No, I'm just curious. Your dick is perfect. Your dick is not too big or small and it makes me feel super good."

He nipped the top of your ear. "So, you don't want a big dick?"

"Nope."

He nipped the crook of your neck. "I love you."

"Love you too."

He lifted you up. "We have more to see."

You kicked your legs and giggled in delight as Levi carried you around looking at weird animals and so called devils found. He stopped a moment and stared at the UFO things and thought they were the worst of all. He could see that most of the pictures were of balloons and silver disks being thrown.

You sighed. "Kind of disappointed."

Levi hummed. "I have an idea."

"Oh yeah?"

He nodded and led you outside to the car and drove off. He smiled when he saw the sign he was looking for and pulled up to a nice place. "What do you think?"

You read the sign and gasped. "Hot dog world!?"

He smiled a little. "I read about it when we planned this trip. I thought it'd be nice to go there and try different kinds. They even have a dessert dog."

You clapped your hands. "YAY!"

He smiled and moved his car to a nice spot with views of the mountains and down the cliff and the water thirty lands. "I'll geet the hot dogs."

You blew him a kiss. "Okay!" You grabbed a blanket and put it on the hood of the car. You sat down on it and hugged your legs as you enjoyed the view. You smiled at your lover as he returned with a tray. "That looks so good."

He sat next to you and put the tray between you and him. "I hope you're hungry."

You picked up your drink and sipped. "I am." You dragged a hot dog and ate. "Amazing." You sighed and looked out at the view. "This is so much better than the museum. I am sorry for dragging you around that."

He smiled a little. "Don't be sorry. We had fun, right?"

"Yeah."

He winked at you. "You never know, love, we might see something tonight."

You giggled. "Maybe." You smiled softly as you watched Levi eat. "Thank you, you know for indulging me on my weird ideas."

He smiled a little. "I love how odd you can be and how you can find fun in most things. It's cute. I love you deeply."

"I love you always."
