surrounding myself with fellow weirdos is nice because i’ll go off on a jaunt into insanity over something you guys have no care about and you’ll still do the tumblr equivalent of waving to me in the hallways

I need more dad Sukuna and mom reader fics / headcsnons, I love the way you wrote for them!!
hey anon thank you! i'm thinking about making this a series, if you guys have any ideas/requests/prompts lmk <3
PICKING UP BABY FROM SCHOOL oops, toddlers can't ride motorcyles! (dad!sukuna x mom!reader)
sukuna rolled up about twenty minutes before his daughter's school got out, deploying the kickstand of his pitch black motorcycle against the rainbow colored fencing. he pulled off his helmet, sighing deeply when he met fresh air again.
his phone buzzed against his thigh. he pulled it out of his tight cargo pocket, answering immediately when he saw your caller ID. "hey, doll."
"you got there okay?" you asked.
"mhm."
"and you're on the right side of the building? that's where her class comes out."
"mhm."
"great." you exhaled. "m'sorry i couldn't make it this time—"
"stop." he says gruffly, his phone between his shoulder and ear as he pulls off his gloves. "what are you sorry for, silly girl? you're sick and should rest."
he doesn't mind anything when it comes to his two girls, not the fifteen minute commute to her school or the half hour of waiting just to get a parking spot nice and close to the doors.
your laugh was warbled over the phone. "at least the car is air conditioned. it's been getting warmer lately."
"..." he looked down at his bike.
"ryo, baby?" you hummed.
"hm?"
"you did take the car, right?"
"..."
his silence was all you needed to hear. he tuned out your worried rambling about how the hell is your daughter going to get home on that thing in order to process. toddlers don't usually use motorcycles as a mode of transportation... and he should've thought of this before!
"it'd be fine if i had an extra seat." he mused, debating on how he could manage this situation without having to call you to get them.
"an extra seat?! not even an extra helmet?" you shrieked. "baby, i swear, if you're actually thinking about driving with my baby girl on that thing—"
"relax, doll," he grumbled, pushing down the traces of embarrassment burning at his ears. "the brat will be fine, s'just a couple blocks away. she can handle the wind."
"..."
the bell rang and the doors swung open, children pouring out of the hallway and buzzing around in search of their parents.
"she's out, we'll see you soon." he was about to hang up when he heard,
"i'm literally about to come get you, do NOT go anywhere."
he frowns, his eyes scouring the crowd of midgets for his kid. he didn't mean to make you so upset and worried. he just... overlooked important details sometimes. not his fault, he's trying his best :(
"y/n, you will sit your ass down in bed. when i come home, you better be laying down exactly how i left you." he warned. he heard your breath hitch. "you trust me, don't you, baby?"
"yes... unfortunately."
he nodded. "we'll be home soon."
"in one piece?"
he rolled his eyes, grumbling. "yes, woman."
"hm." you huffed and hung up.
he strolled into the compound. as soon as he saw those pretty eyes that creased happily when they landed on him, he smiled and crouched down.
she ran over to him, her backpack jostling behind her. she held up a painting she made. "daddy, look!"
"i see." he pulled her closer, holding the backpack off her back and letting her walk off it. he slung the bedazzled bratz backpack over his shoulder, lifting her up in his arms. "what is it?"
"for mama."
"oh. all your crafts seem to be for mama. still nothing for me." he complained with a drawn out sigh.
she rolled her eyes, and he swore he was looking at you for a second.
"don't roll your eyes at me, brat." he scoffed. "who the hell even taught you that?" he muttered under his breath.
sukuna finally stopped in front of his bike. her eyes lit up as her legs started to kick in excitement. she's only ever seen daddy ride off on this thing, now she gets to ride with him?
he swung his leg over the bike, ignoring the mix of distasteful and flirtatious looks thrown at him. "okay, kid." he exhaled, shrugging off his jacket and holding it up to her. "gotta put this on."
she turned up her nose. "stinky."
his jaw dropped open. "i showered before i came to wait half an hour for you, chubby brat. the hell do you think you're talking to?"
she looked at him as if it were obvious.
"you'll put this on now. give me mama's painting, i'll put it in your bag." he said gruffly yet gently slid the painting into her backpack with the utmost care.
the jacket drowned her, the sleeves near triple the length of her arms. sukuna zipped her up and put the helmet on her head.
she started to whine. "stinky." she wailed.
"hush." he hissed, slapping some shades on and holding her towards her chest firmly. with her protected as best as he could with what he had, and with the jeweled backpack strapped to his back, he began to roll out into the road.
that drive home was the longest thirty minutes of his life. he had never drove so slow before.
you were waiting by the front door, running down to meet them as your husband pulled into the driveway.
"oh my god oh my god," you ripped your baby from his arms, tossing the helmet off her head. "are you okay, baby?" you smoothed away the sweaty hair from her face, your lips pursing when you hear her sniffles.
"my poor baby. daddy's never gonna pick you up again, don't you worry." you peppered her face with kisses.
sukuna caught the helmet before it crashed to the ground, walking behind you with his hands in his pockets. he kissed your temple as he leaned over your shoulder to peer down at his daughter. "daddy didn't do so bad."
you glare at him, cradling your daughter's head against your chest. you whirl away and storm into the house.
he sighed.
after many apologetic kisses and a good amount of groveling, you let him do pick-ups and drop-offs again. though you made sure to watch him get into the car before he drove off.

Chapter Five: The Pros and Cons of Breathing
Ch.1 , Ch.2 , Ch.3 , Ch.4
Tumblr media
August 21. 12:34pm.
Gage’s arms around me aren’t enough to pull me out of the blurry and noisy state my mind is in. His lips press against my cheek before he pulls out of the hug. “I’ll see you Monday, then?” He asks, and I nod. Though he’s right here, he sounds so far away. “See you,” I responded. I hesitate for a second before giving him a small kiss. “Bye Gage,” I whisper. His face flushes. “Bye, Y/N.” I get on my bike that was left just outside his door, and take off down the pristine pavement.
The ride home is quick, not only because of the relatively short distance, but also because I’m not paying attention. I got to the house faster than I really wanted to. I’m putting my bike down against the house without really registering it. Only when I’m at the door do I take a second to slow down. I sigh heavily. I don’t want to go. Why did I waste my time with Gage like that? I wish I could’ve stayed. I shake my head and stick my key into the knob, twisting open the door.
When I walk in, John isn’t there. Thank god. I shut the door behind me quietly and make my way down the hallway just as silent. I peek into his room to see him passed out on his bed, snoring. I quickly go into my room, then shut and lock the door. I sit my backpack down next to my bed and lie down in it. Ugh. Going from Gage’s back to this is terrible. I take my phone out and check the time. 12:47pm. I bite my lip. I guess I should start getting ready.
I got up and changed outfits, because for some reason I didn’t bring some for today; this morning I changed into what I wore yesterday, which did not smell good. The stench of cigarettes and beer isn’t exactly pleasant. I slip into some more comfortable pants that I got from the last time I went to Hot Topic, along with a My Chemical Romance shirt I got the same day (with a long sleeve underneath of course). I slide a studded belt through the loops on my pants. I don’t feel like being extra today, so I leave the accessories at that. 
I unzip my backpack and take out my meds along with the water bottle I left in there yesterday. I press the capsule pill to my tongue and swallow it down with gulps of water. I hope I don’t get a headache this time because I never did take one yesterday. I sit back down on my bed. I’ll just listen to music until it’s time to leave, starting with Siouxsie and the Banshees. 
August 21. 1:54pm.
I took the familiar route to my favorite bookstore. I figured I should walk since he usually drives me in his car once we meet up. I’m not entirely sure how that’s gonna go. The last time I was in his car, he made me drive (illegally, I don’t have a license) while he and his ex made out drunkenly in the backseat. All throughout the walk, my mind was swarmed with a buzzing sound. Not literally, but it might as well have been just sound with the way I couldn’t stop fucking thinking.
I’m sweating by the time I reach the store, only slightly, but enough to make me feel disgusting. The lovely breezes at night have been getting cooler, but it has barely dented the warmer weather during the day. I wish I wore a tank top today, but even just the thought of having people stare at my arms and wrists makes my skin crawl. I hate attention, especially the bad kind.
I sigh as I sit down on the sidewalk, beside the door. I watch cars and bikes pass by as I listen to music, waiting for Xander’s car to show up. I hum along to the lyrics of I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin. I will not bow / I will not break / I will shut the world away / I will not fall / I will not fade / I will take your breath away.
I sit up at the sight of his black toyota pulling into the parking spot in front of me. I pause the song and take out my earbuds, putting them back into my pocket. I stand up, brushing off my pants and sliding my phone into my back pocket. I suddenly wished I wore a light jacket so I had something to do with my hands, though that wouldn’t have been great due to the heat. I could’ve worn just the jacket if I had thought about it.
I think he trimmed his hair up, because it looks all choppy, much more so than before. His hair’s been freshly dyed black too, some dye still staining his neck. He walks up to me, his hands shoved into the pockets of his skinny jeans somehow. “Hey Y/N.” He smiles at me and it makes me feel nervous. He’s gonna want to talk to me about whatever it is later it seems.
“Hey Xan.” I respond coolly. I’ve already decided I’m letting him do all the talking until he wants to address the elephant in the room. “Well, let’s go.” he responds after a second of staring at me. Weird. I lead the way inside. “Where do you wanna go?” I ask and turn to look at him. He shrugs. “I dunno. I guess wherever you go the most.” I roll my eyes and walk down the countless bookshelves into many different rooms. 
I can feel his hand touch mine a few times, which makes my eyebrows furrow. I don’t say anything about it, as his touch doesn’t linger, but it’s still really weird. He doesn’t usually do physical affection with me; that’s something he saves for his girlfriends and hookups and crushes, even though that’s not the word he likes to use for them.
We make it to the familiar Y/A + Horror section, a section that I always visit. I tap my finger on my chin as I look down the aisles. I didn’t think about buying any books today, but I probably will- especially since Xander’s paying for lunch. “So, what do you usually get when you come here?” I hear him ask from the front of the area. He’s looking at the Stephen King books, though I doubt he’s gonna buy anything from a bookstore. 
“Whatever’s on my list. I just finished a series, so I don’t have much to really start with now.” I bend down at the knees to look at the bottom of the fantasy shelf. I carefully picked out a book- Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard. “You have a list?” I stand up straight and walk down an aisle back to the novels. I picked up one of the books that they stood up straight and examined it- Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow. I’ve heard really good reviews about it. 
I take the books in my arms, holding them close. “Yeah. How else am I gonna keep track of all the books I’ve read, and all the ones I want to read?” I ask, walking up to where he’s standing. He’s looking at the Twilight books. “Think I’m gonna get one.” He mutters. I stare at him, my eyes widening. “Really?” I ask. “Twilight?”
“Well yeah. Is there something wrong with that?” He gives me a glare. I shake my head. Why is he being so defensive? “Of course not. Just, why Twilight?” I ask, looking not at him, but at the bookshelf. “Because I know you really liked those books, and hated the movies apparently,” He murmurs in the last part. His words rattle in my brain. I don’t understand them. He’s never shown interest in my interests like this. So what changed? Maybe he feels bad about practically leaving me to deal with my shit alone for months straight. But, then again, I know him well enough to know that probably isn’t true. Xander suddenly gaining a conscience? Please.
“Well, yeah. They left out so many important scenes from the books, and oh my god, don’t get me started on how they changed the way Rosalie tells Bella her story in Eclipse.” He laughs. “Guess I’ll have to read the books first then.” I look back at him and he’s already looking at me, a small smile on his lips. My face heats up. “Yeah. You will.”
I shake my head a little and step back. “But you really don’t have to buy one. You can borrow mine. I have the whole set plus Midnight Sun.” I offer. I’ve underlined stuff in the books, but it's just a romance- not anything personal, so I’m really not worried about him reading them. He looks down at the book in his hands. Slowly, he shakes his head. “Nah. I think I want to start collecting books the way you do.” He looks back up at me. “Do you think I should get New Moon too?” 
We make our way through the endless hallways to the front with our books. I placed mine on the checkout counter. “Just these two?” Melissa asks. I still have to thank her for the last time I was here; she rounded my total down because I didn’t bring enough cash. But not while Xander’s here. As I go to speak, he interrupts me. “Four. I’ll be paying,” He places his books beside mine. Melissa nods and starts scanning the books. I glare at him. I can feel my face grow unbearably hot. Why is he paying for me?
“Your total is 48 dollars and 34 cents for two used hardcovers and two new paperbacks. Cash or card?” Melissa smiles at me, then looks at Xander. After he hands her the cash, he takes our books into his arms before I get the chance to take mine. He smiles at me, then leads the way to the door. As soon as the door shuts, I pull my books from his arms into my own. “I can pay for my fucking self, you know.” 
I don’t wait to see his reaction. I step down onto the pavement and stand by his passenger door, waiting for him to unlock it. I stare at my reflection in the glass. I grimace and open the door as soon as I hear it unlock. I slide in and place my books down in my lap before closing the door. I put on my seatbelt and stare at the books, running my hand over the cover of Girl in Pieces. I distract myself by thinking about how different the cover feels than most paperbacks I own. It’s soft somehow; pretty looking and pretty feeling. 
“I didn’t know that’d make you so upset,” Xander speaks through the silence, starting the car. I chew on my bottom lip, tearing the skin. I fight the nerves and look over at him. His eyes are on the road as he pulls out of the parking lot. Have his hands always looked that good? They’re more veiny looking than I remember. He’s probably practicing with his guitar again. 
I sigh. “Sorry for that. There’s a lot on my mind and I-” “No, no. I’m sorry. For assuming you wanted me to pay, and, well…” He trails off, and as I look at his face, I see how he looks different, even there. There’s a softness to his features that wasn’t really there before. He looks somehow different than he did a few months ago.
“Where do you want to eat?” he asks, his fingers tapping the wheel to the beat of the music. I look away. “I don’t know, really. Anything is fine.”
He takes us to the diner we used to go to every other day. I think it makes me emotional, but I can’t really tell if it’s this, or if I was already feeling it. When our food is ready, he takes it in one hand and, weirdly enough, mine in the other. What’s happened to him that he’s wanting so much physical affection from me? When we get in the car, I place my books in the backseat with his so I can hold the food. I lean my head up against the window as he drives silently to the park, with A Day To Remember playing in the background. 
As he drove, I kept my phone by my leg. That’s usually not a great sign, when I don’t use my phone the way I always do. It’s getting bad again, I’m sure. I never realize it until I’m already deep in it.
He parks the car, but sits there for a moment. “Y/N?” he asks. I look over at him. He’s got this sort of pained expression on his face. One I’ve only ever seen once. When his dad cheated on his mom and the yelling, throwing things, and beating started; he’d come sneak into my room through the window I’m not allowed to open. It was the only time I really felt like we could’ve been something more, even though I knew even then it wasn’t happening. 
I’d let him cry into my shirt, clinging onto me as if I was the only thing he needed. And I was, but not in the way I really wanted. He’d talk to me about it through sobs while I rubbed his back, and wiped the tears from his eyes. Those were the moments I really knew I loved him. And even now, some twisted part of me still does. God I can’t think about that anymore, can I? 
“Yeah?” I bite my lip. He turns to meet my stare, and it looks as if he’s about to cry. “Y/N..” He whispers, and his hands move from his lap up to my face. It feels like my throat is closing up. I can’t breathe, so I turn my head away, his hands retreating back. “Let’s go,” I say, opening the car door quickly and sliding out. I shut the door and look around.
This place used to have more woods, but then they started adding to the playground- more climbing rocks, swings, and other weird stuff I can’t put a name to. I start walking to the picnic tables when I hear his door shut. I sit down on one of them, Xander taking a seat in front of me. We take the food out of the bag and start eating in silence. 
I can’t help but think about the way he’s been acting today. It’s so different from how I know him. It’s kind of worrying me. I gaze at him, his attention on his food. I examine his face more. His eyes are sunken, though the lines under his eyes are only slightly noticeable. I look him down and I notice he’s gotten skinnier. Skinnier than usual of course, as he always was twig like. 
His eyes meet mine and my face heats up, my eyes drop down to the fries I haven’t finished. I eat a few more, and after a few seconds, Xander speaks up. “I’m 3 weeks sober, y’know.” I raise my eyebrows and look up at him again. He’s still looking at me, but his facial expression is serious. Of course it is, this is something serious.
“Really? From what?” I ask and immediately regret it. He grimaces and I realize that’s really not something I should ask since there’s so much it could be. “Sorry.” “No, it’s fine.” He sighs, looking back down at his food. “Everything, Y/N. The drugs, the alcohol…the cutting too,” he mutters. He jams a fry harshly into the ketchup dumped onto his hamburger wrapper. “Well, everything but cigarettes. I won’t be able to quit those for a while, or at least not anytime soon.” I nod. “Hey, that’s awesome Xander. Really, I’m proud of you.” For the first time in months, I reached out to touch him, caressing his hand. He looks back up at me, and I can see the tears welling up in his eyes. 
I can’t help but feel like crying too. In the past few days, I’ve been getting more and more prone to it. I usually don’t cry nearly as much as I have this week. More reason to believe it’s getting bad again. Though I guess this is different. Reasonable. My best friend is sober for probably the first time in years. This is the farthest he’s gotten with it; he’s only ever been able to get to one week before he starts with, “Y/N, please let me drink some of your beer. I promise it’ll be just one drink,” or “Pass me the bong, will you? I know, I just couldn’t take it anymore. You understand, don’t you Y/N?” 
He turns his palm upwards, holding my hand in his. “Thanks. That means a lot.” I smile, and he smiles too. A sad smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. I pull my hand back, and his smile drops. “Besides that..” He starts, and takes a deep breath. “I wanted to…apologize.” Well, that I did not expect. Hoped for? Yes. Expected? Absolutely not. 
I wait a few seconds before responding. “For…what?” I ask. His fingers tap on the wooden table. “For…well, being an asshole. I’m sorry I didn’t talk to you. I’m sorry I didn’t reach out before, or come to school, or-” He inhales sharply, looking anywhere but at me. “Did you not come to school because of..me?” I ask, my jaw dropping a little. I never thought he did that because of ME. 
He nods, still not looking at me. “Not all of it was because of you. There were a lot of reasons. Mainly because of how fucking hard it is to go there and want to stay sober, but it was also because I can’t stand all the attention anymore. It was because I didn’t want to see my shit ton of exes again or..” he sighs before looking at me, finally. “I didn’t want to see you because looking at you made me feel...bad.” 
I blink. How do I feel about this new information? How am I supposed to feel about it? I chew on my lip as I process what he’s just said. He doesn’t like all those girls that follow him around? All the girls that surround him constantly? And looking at me makes him feel bad? “Why?” I ask. I have to know. 
He hesitates, his fingers scratching at the table. “Uh..Well…” He groans, moving his hands up to cover his face. He mutters something into his hands, but I can’t understand it. “What?” He slams his hands down on the table and I flinch. “Because I can’t stand to look at you when you don’t look at me.” My brows furrow. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
He stares at me, his deep brown eyes piercing into mine. Suddenly, his hands are cupping my face the way they did in the car. In a quick motion, he pulls my head forward and his lips meet mine. I’m so taken off guard by this that I sit still for a bit. What the fuck? I push him away from me, swing my legs over the bench and stand up quickly. “What the fuck? What the fuck is wrong with you?!” I’m screaming at him and I don’t even care. “Who the hell do you think you are doing that to me?” I’m breathing in and out so harshly, it feels like my lungs are on fire. 
“Y/N-” “Kiss my ass, Xander. I loved you. I loved you for so many fucking years. And when I’m finally, FINALLY, getting over your ass you go and do this? And I’m supposed to just go along with it?” My face feels so wet; my throat feels like it’s closing up and I’m choking on the words that spit out of my mouth.
I start to laugh, but it sounds and feels so wrong with all the crying mixed with it. “What the hell is wrong with you, Xander? And I started to believe you were getting your shit together,” I pick up my trash and move as fast as I can to the nearest trash can. The sound of crunching leaves follows me. “Y/N please,” He whines as I throw out my trash. I spin on my heels to face him. I don’t think twice about it; I punch him in the face as hard as I can. 
He’s shocked, flinching away from me as soon as my fist pulls back. His nose is bleeding, and I’m sure it feels even worse with the tears streaming down his face. “I loved you too. I just didn’t realize it,” He’s sobbing; there’s so many cracks in his voice I barely understand what he’s saying. “Just leave me alone, Xander.” My voice is just as pitiful sounding as his. He pleads with me more, begging me not to leave. I don’t care. I don't care. I take off, sprinting out of the park as fast as my feet will let me.

BED WARMER | JJK
Tumblr media
Pairing: Possessive Jungkook x stripper Y/n
Summary: you're his bed warmer. You're supposed to be warming his bed every single night.
It was all over the news. He's back, with all those tattoos, piercing, muscles. It's so damn killing you, you just wanted to have him right now.
Looking at the screen as you watched him leaving the airport, riding his motorcycle. Putting his helmet on and wore his big bike.
It was all showing in the screen how hot he truly is. The news ended. You groan as you lay down your head on the back of the couch.
"He's coming here right?" You asked yourself while looking at the ceiling blankly, then you smiled.
"Of course he would, he always come to me" You immediately pushed yourself away from the couch as you run upstairs when went straight to your clothes.
Looking at the mirror, massaging your boobies while biting your lips. All you could think about was him touching your body.
You sign, and started putting your make up on. Fixing your lipstick, eyebrows, cheek and done.
You dropped everything and straitly looking at your reflection. The lingerie is perfectly showing your curves, it is hugging your body really tight and it's making you uncomfortable and hard to breathe but you didn't care.
It is his favorite lingerie and as long as he can fuck you hard and deep you're willing to do anything and everything just to get that.
As soon as you're satisfied with your look, you sat on the bed, it's been an hour since the news ended and the airport wasn't that far from your house so you knew he would come here any minute.
You patiently waited for his arrival but the second turn into minute, the minute turn into minutes, the minutes turned into hour and the hour turned into hours of you waiting.
You got so irritated, why is he taking so long to arrived, you've been waiting for him so almost 4 hours now. He should be here by now.
You're so frustrated, irritated and stressed out, you've been sitting on the same spot for so long waiting for him and yet seems like he's not even planning on showing up.
You're so done, you fucking hate it, you quickly wore your clothes, grabbing your car keys. Waking down stairs and locked the door of your house before leaving.
You walk inside an abandoned wearhouse, you could smell the alcohol, cigarettes, and sex all mixed up together.
Throwing you bag on the couch and stood up Infront of the man sitting on the couch.
"Where is he?" The man looked at you and sigh, letting go of the girl and offered you a cigarette, you pushed his hand making him sign.
"He's not here" he said while pulling the woman back and started making out. You chuckles as your face immediately turned serious.
"You can't be serious, I know he's here it's all over the news that he's been back in the country" you yelled at him making all the people in the area looked at you.
"I know we've seen him and also waiting for him okay now relax you ass down Yn" yoongi said before turning around his head to the woman again.
You sat on the couch still upset, what the hell is happy to him, he didn't went to my house as well as here then where could he be?.
You immediately stood and grabbed you things, shutting the door behind you and left.
Knocking on the door several times till you heard a scream coming from the inside. You smirk hearing his voice.
The door open soon, you immediately pushed him inside, pinning him on the wall stripping yourself and hungrily eating his mouth.
Fuck he taste different but it's so addicting that you couldn't stop it. The man was taken aback, he didn't knew what your doing yet he could lie about loving everything you're doing with him.
You unplug his belt making the man gasps, you look at him while your on your knees, smirking at his as soon as you places your palm on his crotch.
"Stop acting so shocked, we're always doing it" you said while pulling his boxer down.
Grabbing his veiny cock in your hand as you jerk it off while licking the tip of his cock and you put it inside your mouth.
Fuck he's getting bigger, as you shove the whole thing inside your mouth, you could feel his tip at the back on your mouth and it's chocking you but you didn't mind that.
As long as you can pleasure him so good your already okay with everything. You move your mouth in and out the suck his tip off receiving a beautiful moan from the man.
You started pumping his bulge while sucking his balls, soon you could feel something as you touched his cock.
You put the whole thing inside your mouth and swallow all his cum.
Oh gosh you missed that. You stoop up from your knees. Bitting your lips while slowly unbuttoning his shirt.
"I missed you so much master" you said while looking at his who's currently catching his breath while sweat is all over his face.
"I- I missed you too babe." He said. You pulled him by his collar, kissing him passionately, damn you're finally been able to taste his lips without te aggressiveness and biting.
"I love you gguk" connecting your forehead together while wrapping your arms around his neck.
"I love you too" the man replayed making you look at him in shocked.
Looking at him, in the eye it made you realized it wasn't Jeongguk, gguk would never say I love you back, he would laugh at you saying your just his bed warmer but never would say I love you back.
And his mouth, his touch, his gentle touch. Gguk is far ways from that, you can't even kiss him passionately because of his aggressively, gguk would never let you acting all sweet to him like connecting your forehead together while your arms is around his neck, never.
This isn't gguk and you know it, fuck it! but then who is it? Who is this man standing infront of you looking like gguk.
The man noticed your state, you're shocked while looking at him, he caresses your cheek and kiss you while giggling.
It made you more shocked, gguk will never kiss you like that, he would literally slap you and pin you on the wall as he would never stop till he ruined your mouth why? Cause for Jeon Jeongguk
You're just his bed warmer who would warm his bed and his body.
The twin switched position and now it's making you crazy thinking that the man Infront of you is gguk while it's actually his twin brother Jungkook

Her painted lips curl up and she raises an eyebrow at the phone number. "Definitely makes it easier. And I like that." Her eyes settle on the tattoo just below the phone number―not a bad start to a new life. It almost seems like she can do it. Some part of her wonders if she should learn more about him before she even thinks about pursuing anything, but why bother? She doubts she'll stay here long, doubts more that he'll be in her life for more than a few dates and a bit of casual fun. She gives it a year, tops, before she takes off again; part of the appeal of staying in small towns is that she can fly under the radar for the most part, without the exposure of a city, but staying in a small town for too long just makes her visible anyway.
No, she's sure of it. No matter how much she likes that smile, the last thing she'll do around here is put down roots, or get herself caught up in an attachment of any kind. She's here to survive, not to make friends.
"And yeah. I do ride." She'd learned when she was studying in Dublin and had considered getting a bike then, but everyone she knew had warned her against it―her grandfather and father and sister from a safety perspective, and her stepmother, hilariously enough, from a simple awareness of Astoria's personality. You don't have the temperament for it, chicken, she'd teased warmly. You'll forget how little you are and start picking fights. And then she'd leaned closer, dropped her voice to a stage whisper, followed it up with just ride a biker instead while her sister choked on her tea and her father rolled his eyes and laughed. This one's for you, Shiv, she thinks in spite of herself, her stepmother's face fresh in her memory, and she ignores the sudden pang of loneliness that follows, certain that following that train of thought will only make her depressed.
"About ten years now. Rarely, before, but I couldn't see any reason not to pick it up again. First few hundred miles were a little unsteady, but there's nothing like it." It fulfills all her needs―control, power, and the all-too-appealing flirtation with death that inevitably follows. "I just―I woke up one morning and realized that I wasn't where I needed to be. I had a job I didn't care about, I didn't care for where I was living anymore, and life's too short to stay where you shouldn't." It's true enough. Makes her sound a little more flaky bohemian than wine heiress. She'll take it. There's a surprising honesty to her voice when she continues, "First time in my life I realized it was a good thing, to not have anything tying me to one place. And if you're going to uproot everything and just go until you find where to land, that's the way to do it, isn't it? No restraints. No expectations."
She pauses, then, cheeks starting to warm as she realizes just how much she's said about it. At least the lighting in here is low enough that it's not likely to be all that obvious. She really had been grateful, now that she thinks about it; if she'd had a partner, kids, even parents nearby, she would have struggled with the choice to leave. Her uncle and grandfather are in Venice; her father's family is in Dublin; fuck if she knows where her mother is, but last she heard she was in Reykjavik again. She'd been alone in London for long enough that she's fairly certain it'll take weeks, even months, before anyone even notices she's gone, with the rent on her apartment paid well in advance (I'm going to be traveling a bit, she'd told the landlord, brandishing a check, and I don't want to risk a late payment. Can we do six months?) and vacation time put in.
"I'm guessing you do, too." Astoria takes a sip of her drink, and she eyes the kutte with warm interest. "I'm guessing a lot of people around here do. I've seen more than a few of those." Her smile widens, and she runs her teeth gently along her lower lip before she speaks again. "Harley? 's what I learned on. When did you start?" And then, even warmer, she asks, "Where's your favorite place to go? For the journey or the destination. I'm not picky."

     flirting was nowhere near new.  both sides.  anyone who wanted to hang on to the club image in any kind of way threw themselves at any member they could.  jax did his own when he was in a range of moods but it was only ever surface level, as if flirting was the mask he wore.  kind of like opie’s mask was that stoic murder face.  his was a smile that made other people weak in the knees and there was also this part of him that enjoyed having that kind of power over people.  it was different and a little more thrilling than the violence and threats tossed around club activities.
     yet, this smile was different.  the smile this stranger managed to elicit out of him was about as genuine as anything he gave any of his brothers.  there were no walls attached to it.  simply a smile of pure joy.  that in and of itself was a novel concept, especially as of late.  jax was used to watching his back and trying to filter through layers of interwoven meanings.  could he just be himself for a while?  around her, anyway.  maybe he felt this way precisely because she was from somewhere other than charming.  the story could all be a lie as far as he knew.  the blonde didn’t care.  for a moment he was free and that was worth everything.
     “ all day everyday, darlin’, “ he smiles back.  both hands land on the bartop and his fingers splay as wide as he can.  there was a small cut on the back of his wrist that he pointed to.  “ this one’s from trying to take out a cracked radiator.  hand slipped on coolant. “  jax’s head tilts to the side, trying to remember where all the random little scars came from.  he points to a very faded one that starts at the left pinky’s second knuckle and goes down to the wrist.  “ this one was trying to help someone lift a transmission out the hood. “   both hands lift up again for another glance over.  “ but, unfortunately, no.  there is not a ducati dealership close enough to make that certification worthwhile.  i can make some calls, though.  see where you can take it depending on what it needs. “
     if the bike needed something basic he could probably swing it but he also didn’t want to ruin whatever this was by ruining such a beautiful vehicle.  “ you ride? “  when her hand lands on his there’s an electricity that climbs up his arms.  jax knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that he is captivated.  not by the story and certainly not by the ducati.  ever since the drink slide in his direction the conversation had been easy.
     his fingers curl up ever so slightly to maintain contact while her nails scrape along the inside of his wrist.  “ and i’m sorry your mom’s shitty enough to put a potential relationship above your safety, “ jax’s eyebrows pinch together.  he finds himself genuinely upset over that thought.  as much as he loved sex he would never, ever put that above his son.  family first.  family would always be first.
     he can’t stop his free hand from reaching out and cupping her cheek for a few seconds.  the calloused thumb draws a few light lines over her cheek before he pulls it back.  that right there helped him believe she was running from something.  maybe not the mother.  jax had no idea what but the way she said several little words were completely infused with survival.  he respected that.
     jax was honestly waiting for another question in the realm of the earlier food sphere.  maybe something like where to go for groceries or good coffee.  “ straight to the point, “ that earlier boyish grin comes back in full force.  it leaves him feeling a kind of lightness he’s not used to feeling.  everything with the club had been so dark and heavy.  was this what clay meant when he said a good ol’ lady will keep you afloat?  
     standing, he reaches over to the register and grabs a pen off it.  he makes a few marks on his own skin first, so he didn’t have to write so hard on her beautiful skin.  then, a number was scrawled on the back of her hand.  “ you can find me wherever you tell me to go.  how ‘bout that?  make it easier? “

Ch. 00 Pt. I : To-Not-Do-But-Actually-Do List | JJ Maybank × fem! reader
a/n : I wrote this between last night and this morning. It's not my first time writing fanfic but it is my first one of JJ Maybank. I always delete my works thinking they ain't good enough. Hopefully I won't delete it this time and when I get some breaks I can keep writing. Anyways to whoever stops and reads: Thank you very much and enjoy the story!
tw: underage drinking, smoking, slight mention of anxiety (it's barely there).
There's a small conversation in Spanish but I clarified what is being said.
word count: 3.0k+
You were studying for an upcoming test. It was Friday evening and you were sure nobody liked to study on Friday evenings just when the school week had come to an end. But you had nothing better to do. Well, you were invited to a kegger by your friends, which you were seriously considering going to since you already knew the material and didn’t know what to do now. But you were unsure about parties. One goes to have fun, right? But fun usually means getting drunk, high or hooking up. And you weren’t about to do any of them. But you figured it wouldn’t hurt to put in practice your socializing skills. 
You told your parents you were going out for the night. They looked at you oddly, but didn’t say anything, only wishing you had a good time, telling you to be safe and to call once you got there, once you were on your way back and if something came up. Of course, they also asked who you were gonna be with, where were you gonna be, if someone was going to pick you up, who would bring you home. The whole interrogation. 
After taking a shower and dressing up, you called your friends hoping someone could give you a ride. Luckily for you, your best friend hadn’t arrived yet and was close by. He was always late for everything so you kind of figured that’s how it would be. 
“Hey pretty lady.” , he smirked at you as you got on the bike behind him, arms around his torso, “What made you change your mind?”
“Got bored.”, you answered simply.
“That 's weird. You're not one to get bored. But guess we’re actually having fun tonight so let ‘s go!” he answered, hyped as ever, you chuckled as he drove off to the beach. 
You lost sight of him as soon as you stepped on the beach. And that's on having fun tonight together, huh. “So, now what?” You asked yourself looking around for some familiar faces. You managed to spot some of your friends among the crowd but they seemed to be having fun engaged in conversation and you didn’t want to burden them. Yeah you had just arrived and you already were starting to regret coming, and being surrounded by a squirming crowd, all dancing and moving around wasn’t helping. You made a haste turn and gasped when you felt something spill over your top.
“Oh dammit.” The boy cried over the spilled drinks. Some had gotten on his T-shirt too. “I mean shit, I’m sorry dude. It was kinda your fault too though.” You rolled your eyes but couldn’t help but smile as you looked up. “Oh shit. Sorry Y/N.”
“You’re great with apologies, Maybank.” He smiled back, but he grimaced seeing your ruined shirt. You noticed and looked down, the thin fabric of your blouse letting into view your bra. You crossed your arms over your chest trying to make it better, looking up at him again and smiling awkwardly to try and hide your embarrassment. But he could make out your flushed cheeks and your discomfort. He felt his own cheeks get warmer at the fact you caught him staring and that you crossing your arms definitely didn’t help. 
“I try my best. Care for a drink?” He offered you the one cup that didn’t spill over you. You scrunched your nose and nodded your head hesitantly, reaching for it. “Actually, can you wait here for a sec.?” You nodded again and there he left you, looking around awkwardly waiting for him to get back. You looked at your drink, swirling the liquid in the cup, questioning if you should drink it. You had never drinked before. And you were alone, well, JJ was with you but you didn’t know if he was actually coming back or if he had just grabbed the opportunity to spare you from your embarrassment. You took a sip, making a face - there goes the no drinking thing you were talking about- and you saw JJ approach, eyes squinted looking for someone. He spotted you and smiled as he came to a stop in front of you, holding a drink and a sweatshirt. He offered the sweatshirt to you “Here.” 
“Oh, um, thanks.” He held your drink as you put his sweatshirt on. It was like two sizes bigger. You extended your arms making a silly pose and he approved, making you do a little spin. 
“Never seen you around one of these before. Didn’t think it was something you liked.” He started walking, you by his side.
“I actually don’t like it. You just bumped into me right when I started to panic about being here.” You said jokingly although it was actually the truth. JJ let out a laugh. “But I thought I might do something different tonight. Get out of the comfort zone, you know?”
“And how’s that going?” He questioned, you could see a smile hidden by the rim of his cup. You smiled.
“Not bad. I’m actually talking with someone, I had my first drink…” You said, and downed the last of said drink. “Not a fan of them to be honest.” you made a face and blinked a few times, not liking the taste. 
“No way.” He said incredulously. You nodded, letting out an affirmative sound. “ What would people think of me for corrupting Y/N Y/L/N?” 
“So bad of you.” you played along. “Nah, it’s just one drink. As long as you drink moderately it’s fine. Also I could’ve refused, so you’re not corrupting me.” You shrugged, then widened your eyes because of all your blabbering. “I went too deep on that joke. I'm sorry.” You smiled nervously, smoothing your hair. He just laughed.
“That ‘s fine. You have no idea how much shit I can talk.  My friends are shutting me up all the time. Wait- Not that you were talking shit- Oh God.” It was your turn to laugh about how conflicted he looked. He smiled and calmed down seeing that you didn’t take it wrong. 
There was a beat of silence before he spoke up again, “So… You wanna go somewhere more quiet?” The question caught you off guard. He sensed your hesitation and rushed to explain. “I mean, since you don’t really like parties. Thought you might want to head over to somewhere else? You don’t have to if you don’t want to. “ 
You nodded, “Wait, but what about you? I don’t wanna make you leave.” you worried
He brushed it off. “There’s always more of these.” 
So you both went further down the beach, the sounds from the party heard from a distance. You sat down and saw him take out something from his pockets. “Do you mind if I burn one?” You shook your head. He lighted it up and took a hit, slowly letting the smoke out after. You caught yourself staring, and he also caught you, showing you a smirk,  “You probably haven’t smoked before either, right?” He said mockingly. You pushed him jokingly, then overthinking about if you weren’t getting too confident around him. You hadn’t spoken more than a couple times before. 
“No, I haven’t.”
“Such a good girl.” he cooed, “I shouldn’t be the one to make you drink and smoke in the same night but, who’s better than me?” He offered you the blunt. 
“Yeah right.” you answered sarcastically, and once again hesitated but took it from his hand - there goes the “no smoking”. The same night, in less than an hour. You just need to hook up with someone and you shall check out your To-Not-Do-But-Do List-. You looked at it and proceeded to put it in your mouth. 
“Easy there.” He warned as you inhaled the smoke. You coughed it out, laughing as he caressed your back, trying to ease you. 
“Whoah.” you blinked a few times as you tried to get used to it. And that's how you spent the rest of the night there talking and smoking. Usually you had trouble making conversation but with the help of the alcohol and weed you were more easy going tonight, mostly talking nonsense and laughing at everything, which had JJ glancing at you with an amused smile. “Yeah, she definitely had never smoked before.”  He saw as you scrunched your nose, suddenly, and smelled his sweatshirt that you were wearing. “I smell like weed.”  You said, disgusted. Apparently, you forgot you were smoking. “And I’m wearing a boy’s sweatshirt.” Your eyes widened as you lifted your arms and looked at the sleeves of his sweatshirt as they dangled when you moved them around. “My parents are gonna kill me. Twice!” You cackled almost hysterically, which made JJ burst in laughter too at the sight of you. 
It was a little past midnight and after running out of energy, you had fallen asleep profoundly, leaning over JJ, your head resting on his shoulder. He didn't bother to wake you up at first, being very comfortable with how you two were. But then he almost fell asleep too and it was pretty late so he gently tried to shove you awake. “Y/N.” you grunted, and tried to ignore him. “Y/N we have to go. It 's late. Don’t wanna fall asleep here for some creep to come and kill us.” 
“You can fight them.” you mumbled. “You look like a very brave courageous prince.” 
“Do I now?” He looked at you, trying to hold back a smile. “Yeah this prince you’re talking about is lacking money. And sleep. So let 's go.” He helped you stand up. You made eye contact with him and your eyes widened. “What now?” he questioned, amused.
“Your eyes are very pretty.” 
“Oh you’re gonna make me blush. C’mon, I can give you a piggyback ride until we meet with John B.” In fact, he did blush a little by the intensity of your gaze. Not that you would notice being as you were right now. You fell asleep again almost immediately once on his back, your head resting on top of his. He almost dropped you when you got too relaxed and your grip around his shoulders got a little too loose. He hoped John B hadn’t left.  He didn't feel like walking all the way to the château. He figured you’ll stay with them. He didn't know where you lived and even if he did he wasn’t about to drop you off high out of your mind. 
“Hey, I was looking all over for you. Kie and Pope already left.” John B started as he looked at your sleeping figure being carried by his friend, his curious eyes making the question for him already but he spoke nevertheless, “You’ve been with her all this time?” 
“Yeah. She’s out like a light. And she doesn’t look like it but she’s starting to feel heavy so let’s get to the Twinkie. Also, have you seen my backpack? I thought I left it around here." He started to make his way to the van, John B keeping his pace.
“ Yeah, I grabbed it when I started looking around for you." He said before saying what he really wanted to say at that moment, "Listen, man, I know you… Are JJ, " He missed the puzzled look JJ was giving him, "Like the JJ Maybank. Big time player.  But Y/N. Out of all people? How did you even get with her? We actually know her and it would suck to hurt her feelings.”John B kept going, just astounded with how far JJ could go.
“We didn’t do anything of whatever you’re imagining.” JJ squinted his eyes at him. “I bumped into her and we stayed together after that, we chatted, drinked, smoked a little…”
“You let her smoke? Since when does she smoke?” 
“Since today man, I don’t know. And it’s not like I forced her to do it. She can make her own decisions. Also she was with me so it’s not like something would have happened to her.” John B raised a brow, “At least nothing that she didn't want.”  He opened the sliding door of the van. “Just help me out, dude. Geez, you’re supposed to be my best friend bro. Wouldn’t hurt to show a little trust.” 
“Precisely because I am your best friend is why I care about it.” He helped JJ get you inside of the van. 
“If someone was looking at us they would say we’re kidnapping her.” John B stated as he made his way to the driver’s seat and started the Twinkie. JJ took a seat, while you laid there sleeping, your head resting on his lap. He made sure you wouldn’t move and smack your face with the van or fall to the floor. When they arrived at the Château, they both helped you out of the van and got you inside the house. JJ went to bother a sleeping Kie, asking her to help you get changed out of your clothes, though he thought you looked cute with his sweatshirt on. 
_________________
You woke up, slightly disoriented but well rested. The smell of food reached your senses. Stretching, you looked around and saw you were sleeping next to Kiara Carrera. How the hell did you get there? 
“Goodmorning.” she said, startling you. 
“Good- Morning?” You stared at her. Kie saw the confusion in your expression and smiled. Teasing a little wouldn’t hurt anyone.
“Did you enjoy last night?” Kie asked, and purposely got a bit closer, looking at your lips.
“What?”
“You don’t remember?” she clicked her tongue. “That’s a shame though.”
“What? No! No. I do remember.” Kie raised a brow, “ No, I was with JJ-” you stopped yourself, “Not! Not in a sexual way.” You rushed to explain. Sheepishly, fidgeting with your hands, you looked up at her again. “Did we really…” God,I thought I was straight. I mean, I am straight. Kie is really pretty though. God you just had sex for the first time and you don’t even remember,  you shook your head to stop the nonsense that were your thoughts at the moment.
At that point, Kiara couldn’t hold it anymore and started laughing at the conflict you were having in your head, your troubled state written all over your face.
“You two! Come and get breakfast before we eat all of it. And Kie, stop messing with Y/N.” You heard John B and JJ shout from the kitchen. You were really hungry, now that they mentioned food. And it smelled really nice earlier. You both got up and went to the dinner table, where you found JJ fixing up a plate for you. He motioned for you to sit. “Goodmorning.” He said, giving you a smile. “You good?” 
Nervously, you greeted him back, nodding. You probably made some trouble for them last night, especially for JJ. You all sat at the table, chatting and recalling stuff from last night. Guess you still were straight, and didn’t hook up with Kie. She was just taking advantage of you not being able to process anything too well before eleven in the morning and making fun of you. You were enjoying yourself but, 
“I should be going home.” you said, excusing yourself.
“I can go with you. Also, your phone went off a few times this morning while you were sleeping.” JJ mentioned casually as he stood up after you. 
“You don’t have to do that.” You told him but he brushed you off, saying it was no problem.  “Oh my God, my phone! I mean, my parents! They’re totally gonna kill me!” The other two held their laughter towards your distressed face and JJ grimaced as he motioned for you to follow him and you went to the room he always stayed in. He gestured towards your clothes and your phone. He had washed your clothes earlier after he woke up. When you looked at your phone’s screen, you saw all the missed calls you had from your mom, your dad, even your brother. Your stomach dropped. 
“You didn’t tell them you were going out?” JJ asked. 
“I did! I just never said I was going to stay at someone else’s place!” As if on cue, your phone went off again. You both looked at each other and you answered, already grimacing at what was coming.
“Hey ma’.” 
JJ frowned, your voice sounded different for a moment. Then he heard a loud voice from the other end of the call, most likely your mom’s. He couldn’t make out what she was saying because it was in Spanish? and she was talking way too fast in a hysterical tone. He looked curiously as he heard you both.
“¡No! Mami estoy bien. Es que se hizo tarde y me quedé en casa de Kiara.” You lied, saying you stayed over at Kie’s as your mom asked you who the hell was Kiara. “Una amiga, ma. Perdón que no dije nada. Ya voy para allá. Sí, sí, bye.”  You sighed. “I’m grounded.” you fake smiled and looked over at JJ. He gave you an apologetic look. “Well I don’t really go out much.” You laughed nervously. “I should go. I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you guys.” 
“Yeah, yeah, no I mean, not at all.”  JJ answered awkwardly, a hand brushing his hair back  as he smiled at you nervously. 
They let you take a shower and change back to your clothes before making your way out. You thanked them, and both you and JJ made your way out of the château and back to your house. You decided to walk, since it wasn’t too far. You stopped a couple houses before yours, telling JJ that going back after staying out the night without telling anybody and coming back home with a boy was just you asking to get yourself killed. He laughed, telling you that he understood. 
“I have no problem introducing myself to them. Since I am indeed very brave and courageous and all.” He teased, trying to see if you remembered what you said to him last night. You did remember, but did your best to play it off as if you didn’t, feeling kinda embarrassed. He laughed it off when you looked at him as if you didn’t know what he was talking about, a little hurt but he wouldn't make a big deal about it. You were high as a kite anyways. “Forget it.” he finished with a sigh. “See you around?” He asked, hopeful
“Sure. See ya around.” You gave him a hug, then started to make the rest of your way back to your house. You turned to look at him once more and gave him a smile and a small wave. He smiled and waved back. It would be hard to take that smile off his face for the rest of the day.

"Remind me again, why are we walking in the streets of Rio mid-winter in nothing but flimsy clothes that I have concluded definitely do not keep the cold out?" I asked with chattering teeth, rubbing my palms together in hopes of heating them up.
With a small twirl, he turned to face me while still walking backwards, "Because we're young and in love?" his grin was almost blinding, and I almost cracked a smile.
Still I grumbled, kicking a pebble from the sidewalk, "Not a good enough reason."
"Hey!" he indignantly cried, the offended look on his face causing me to let a chuckle loose.
"Sorry, Shoyo, it's just too cold," I tugged at his hand, hoping to catch up with the redhead's excited steps, and he seemed to have caught on because he slowed down his pace, cupping my freezing fingers in his warm hands.
"You should've bundled up," he reprimanded me, a flash of concern in his eyes.
I shook my head, "It's not like you're any better. That sweater probably doesn't save you from the biting wind either."
Puffing his chest proudly, he pointed at himself as he tugged me along the sidewalk, "Yeah, but I'm an athlete, so my body temperature is naturally warmer, you know."
"Are you sure that's not just some manga myth?"
"Alright, that's it, I'm pushing you down the street. Roll off for all I care."
I laughed, taking in his pouting form, before leaning in to place a kiss that I was still smiling into against his plump lips.
"You're so easy to tease," I pinched his reddened cheeks.
Ruffling my hair, he swung an arm around me, "I swear it's almost like I'm being mocked by Tsukki."
"But would Tsukki leave his life behind to start over with you across the globe at the mere age of 19?" I arched my eyebrow, before looking both ways and crossing the street to the side that gleamed with light.
Once we were safely across, I took notice of the way he was staring fondly at me, that wide grin of his ever-present, "No, but I'm happy a certain someone did."
"Good, 'cause I'm happy we moved too."
Glancing down at the phone in his free hand, my boyfriend furrowed his eyebrows, "We should be getting closer."
"You're that excited, huh?" I nudged him, watching as the overhead lights gradually grew brighter and more blinding with every step we took.
"Of course I am," he enthused, that familiar sparkle in his pretty brown eyes returning, "We've been here for a few months now, and every time I look out our window I see the lights and I wonder what that is."
"Cute."
Cocking his head, a look of confusion crossed his face, "What is?"
"The fact that something as simple as the unknown has you so excited," I muffled a giggle, "Of all things I love about you, babe, I think this has to be my favorite."
Taking my compliment with a sweet smile as he always did, his cheeks turned even rosier, "Then make me even happier and pick up the pace!"
Relenting to his natural charms as usual, I walked faster, watching the way he wasn't panting as he used to when riding the bike uphill back home. It was then that it struck me that even though we were in a completely different continent where we truly were strangers in the night, and even though we were thrown in a loop where we had no idea how to stabilize ourselves financially and learn Portuguese so that we could have a shot at living, Shoyo had never once given up on his dream. He had unrelentlessly practiced until he was reduced to an aching sweaty mess, and yet he still found himself with more than enough energy to love me through it all.
He truly was something else. He knew the risks, and took the chance because he wanted to, and that was that. And of course, I was more than eager to jump into our unsure future together, knowing that as along as we were together, we would always find a way to work things out, no matter how dire the situation that would come. Who wouldn't be able to push through it all, when they had such a radiant and warm presence beside them?
Lost in my thoughts, I seem to have not heard what he'd been saying.
"Hey," Shoyo paused in his steps, "Is everything alright?"
I hummed, snapping out of it.
"You've been spacing out a lot recently. Is there..." he drifted off, before he cleared his throat and rephrased, "Are you sure you're ok with this? With me, here, I mean?"
That was a question I could only kiss away to dispel his doubts. The firm kiss had his eyes widening for a second before I pulled away, "Best choice I ever made, actually."
Seemingly placated, he nodded slowly, "Alright, but you know I'll always listen if something's on your mind, right?"
"Yeah, now come on, the streetlights are brightest over there," I excitedly pulled him along with me in an almost-run, earning a whoop of excitement from the ginger.
My grip on his hand tightened as we rushed through the gathering crowds, a siren sounding the closer we got to the source of the lights and chattering people.
Weaving amongst them, Shoyo took initiative to pull me back beside him so I wouldn't take the brunt of the pushing crowds, and soon enough we were both standing in front of impossibly high iron gates. Glancing behind the bars, towering structures decorated with blinding lights in a multitude of colors had us struck with wonder.
"A fair," he spoke softly, almost in a trance, before he turned to me with a sunshine smile, eyes turning into little crescent moons, "Good thing we got some reals on us, huh?"
Flicking his forehead, I pulled my wallet out as we walked over to the ticket booth, "Not we have, I have cash. You're as broke as broke can be."
Speaking softly with what little Portuguese I'd mastered over the past few months, I landed us two premium tickets to get us on all the rides while my boyfriend protested in my ear.
"It's not like I wasted my money, I bought yakitori when I found the first place selling Japanese cuisine!"
"There's no coming between you and food, huh," I sighed exasperatedly, "Where do you wanna go f---"
"The ferris wheel!" he blurted out before I could even finish, and when I looked into his eyes I could see just how beautiful he always looked when he carried the stars in his eyes, "And then we can make out at the summit."
I pretended to cough as he led me to the massive attraction, completely ignoring all the other stands and food stalls, "Horny bastard."
"You thought it too, don't act all high and mighty," with a smirk on his face, he pecked my lips again, then turning to the usher to speak in his broken, thick-accented Portuguese, before continuing what he was saying as we climbed into our cabin, "I just wanna spend all my time with you, you know?"
I cuddled into him, his warmth seeping into my bones as his arm curled around me, his other hand reach to lightly thumb my cheek, and when he spoke up again I could feel the vibrations against my side, "Time slips by so fast it's unreal, and I don't wanna have any regrets, so if I'm a horny bastard for jumping at the chance to tick something off of my bucketlist, then I guess I'm proud to be a horny bastard."
"I don't mind it," I bashfully admitted, not looking into his eyes, "It's a beautiful night, and I wanna kiss you too."
"Make out," he corrected, tugging me closer with his warm palms as our feet dangled off the ground, all sound fading into background noise, the sweet serenade dragging us deeper into each other than the amusement park itself.
When he looked at me like that, I found him impossible to resist. Not when his gaze passionately traced every feature of mine like he was carving me into his memory; not when his lips parted gently, warm breath fanning my face with his eyes lidded and looking at me like I was the thing he most craved; certainly not when he kissed me, tongue softly teasing mine, a soft hum escaping his open mouth as I clung onto him even tighter while melting into the languid strokes of his tongue.
"So sweet," he murmured, before losing himself in the kiss like we had no time to waste.
A whimper left my lips when the hand at the small of my back helped him dip me slowly as we kissed, only breaking apart for half-seconds to gasp for air and dive back into exploring each other's mouths---and I could swear, right at the pinnacle of the ride where the entirety of Rio was mapped out underneath us in a jumbling mess of twinkling lights, gravity had completely released me to float on a different plane of existence, one that only him and I believed in.
The uncertainties of the future seemed so unimportant when my lover kissed me with all the fervor in the world. As long as his lips spelled out his love for me every day like this, then my feet would never touch the ground of a foreign land.

___
You put up with Alex’s knowing looks and disappointed smiles whenever you were with the boys or he caught you smiling down at your phone. At least he was kind enough not to say anything again.
So maybe you had developed teensy weensy crush on Luke and Reggie, it’s not like it’s hard when they’re both so pretty and charismatic and kind and talented. Alex was no help either. With him sneaking off more and more to spend time with Willie, who else were you going to hang out with?
A tapping on your window pulled you from your late-night thoughts and you pulled yourself up into a sitting position on your bed, craning your head to try and peer out through the glass. Of course, you couldn’t see anything through the darkness. You pulled yourself off your bed with a sigh, dragging your feet as you made your way to the window.
Upon closer observation you thought you could make out two figures standing in the grass below. With another sigh you pulled open your window.
“Are you throwing rocks at my window?” You hissed, rolling your eyes as the two boys dropped the rocks in their hands guiltily. “What the hell is this, a five-sos song?”
“Are you coming or not?” Luke whined and you rolled your eyes again.
You silently thanked your laziness for the fact that you hadn’t yet changed into your pajamas as you climbed out the window.
Your feet touched the ground softly, Reggie’s hands firm on your waist and yours on his shoulders from when he had caught you after you pushed yourself off the edge of your roof. You smiled gratefully at him, trying to ignore the erratic beating of your heart and the familiar warmth that had spread to your cheeks as you stepped out of his grasp. You wondered if his heart was beating just as fast or if his cheeks had turned that shade of pink they got whenever he was flustered, you couldn’t tell in the darkness.
“So, where to this evening, gentlemen?” You asked and the two boys turned to stare at each other, clearly not having gotten that far in their planning.
“Uh, the beach?”
“Boardwalk?” They asked at the same time before grinning.
“Close enough,” Luke said, leading the way to the end of your driveway where his bike and Reggie’s skateboard lay discarded.
“Oh, I’ll go grab my bike from the garage-“ you spoke when you realized, turning to double back but Luke caught your arm, stopping you.
“It’s okay, you can just ride on my handlebars,” he suggested and you narrowed your eyes.
“Isn’t that dangerous?”
“That’s what makes it fun,” he spoke with a wicked grin that send your heart racing once more.
You nodded in agreement, a little afraid of what your voice would sound like if you tried to speak, and followed him to his bike. Once Luke was situated on the bike seat Reggie helped boost you up onto the handlebars, Luke’s arms coming to rest on either side of you.
You were off to a rocky start as Luke began to pedal, the bike swaying from side to side as he adjusted to riding with the extra weight at the front of the bike. Your knuckles turned white from how tightly you were gripping the handlebars and you found yourself torn between wanting to clench your eyes shut and being unable to close them for fear of crashing. It wasn’t until Luke righted the bike and began riding smoothly that you let out the breath you hadn’t realized you’d been holding.
“You okay, Y/N?” Reggie asked, skateboarding alongside you.
“Yeah,” you answered, sounding breathless and Reggie smirked knowingly. Luke had that effect on people.
The breathless nervousness went away though, and by the end of the trip you were grinning like a madman, whooping and hollering whenever Luke did something slightly reckless. The power of adrenaline, you supposed.
You pouted when Luke finally slowed the bike to a stop Reggie smirked when he noticed, the boy slowing to a stop beside you.
“Come on sugar, down you go,” he spoke, placing his hands on your waist again to help you off the handlebars.
“Sugar?” You questioned with a quirked brow as your feet touched the ground, the adrenaline still coursing through your veins apparently making you bolder as you’d normally become a stuttering, flustered mess at a term of endearment like that.
“Sorry, would you rather I didn’t?” Reggie asked quietly but assuredly, his hands still burning holes where they remained on your waist and you suddenly realized how close you were.
“No, it’s okay babe,” you replied, attempting to keep your cool. From your position so close to him you could now see the pink blush spreading across his cheeks and you smirked victoriously to yourself at your ability to make him just as flustered as he made you.
“So what’s the plan?” Luke asked, spooking you and Reggie and causing you to jump away from each other.
You narrowed your eyes confusedly at Luke.
“Why are you asking me? This was your idea!”
“Well I didn’t exactly get this far!” Luke protested with a whine and a pout which you giggled at.
“It’s okay darling,” you said, lightly patting him on the cheek before beginning to wander down the boardwalk. “We’ve got time.”
“Wha- hey wait up!” Luke called, and you heard their footsteps pouring on the wood as they jogged to catch up.
The three of you wandered for a while before Luke go sick of pulling his bike around (you and Reggie both pointed out that he could’ve locked it up at one of the many bike racks you’d passed) and insisted that you find a spot to be stationary. That’s how you wound up sitting in the sand, not far from where the waves crashed onto the beach. The three of you sat and talked, periodically tossing rocks into the water.
Not long after you’d found your spot on the shore, you began to regret not throwing on a jacket when you left the house. Your outfit had been ideal for the warm summer day and spending time indoors, but you weren’t exactly equipped for sitting by the water after sundown.
“Are you cold?” Luke and Reggie asked simultaneously, both apparently having noticed your shivering.
You watched amusedly as the two boys glared at each other from either side of you before they began speaking again.
“Here take my flannel,” Luke offered, already beginning to shrug it off his shoulders.
“You can have my jacket?” Reggie asked at the same time, the dark haired boy also shrugging off his leather jacket.
Reggie was faster than Luke, and before you could even accept either offer he was draping the black leather around your shoulders. You smiled gratefully at him, pulling the material tighter around you, though not slipping your arms through the sleeves. On your other side Luke pouted while Reggie stuck his tongue out triumphantly at his friend.
“Please, boys, stop fighting over me! I can’t take it!” you teased.
It was meant to be a joke but you didn’t miss the way Luke tensed up or Reggie’s eyes widened like deer caught in headlights. You tried not to think to much about it but you couldn’t help but hear Alex’s voice in your head.
___
“What are you wearing?”
You paused on your front steps, turning to peer at your best friend across your lawns.
“A jacket?” You answered, giving him a weird look. “It’s getting chilly out and you know it’s always cold in the theater.”
The two of you were going to see a movie, it was your tradition. At least once a month you’d go out for Tuesday-night $5 movies, even if you didn’t care about what was in theaters.
“Yeah but I recognize that jacket,” Alex said, moving towards you to get a closer look.
“Well yeah, you’ve seen like every piece of clothing I own,” you scoffed, but for all your bravado you found yourself shrinking your arms into the leather sleeves self-consciously.
“Oh. My. Gosh.” Alex breathed, putting emphasis on each word. “It’s not yours.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Please, Y/N, you think I wouldn’t recognize Reggie’s jacket? He barely lets it out of his sight! How’d you end up with it?”
You couldn’t help the warmth that spread to your face when you remembered how eager he was to give it to you, gently draping it over your shoulders. He barely lets it out of his sight and yet he’d insisted on giving it to you.
“Did he give it to you?” Alex gasped and you felt your cheeks grow impossibly warmer.
“It’s not a big deal,” you tried to brush it off but you both knew you were lying. “We snuck out to the beach the other night and I got cold so he offered me his jacket. No big deal.”
“No big deal-“ he repeated under his breath, shaking his head in disbelief. “You know what? I think we should skip the movie and go get ice cream.”
“No! Movie night is tradition!”
“You just don’t want to talk to me about this.”
“You’re absolutely right.” You agreed, opening the driver’s side door of you car. “Now c’mon, the movie theater awaits.”
You heard Alex grumble as he walked around to the other side of the car before climbing into the passenger seat beside you.
“Fine. But we’re getting ice cream after.”
“As long as you’re buying.”
___
“And then they took me back home and he never asked for the jacket back and I haven’t seen him since then to return it and-“
“And you decided to wear it to the movies with me, where you knew you weren’t going to see him.” Alex finished with a knowing look and you stared down at your ice cream, willing away the heat in your cheeks.
When you finally looked back up he was still watching you expectantly. You groaned, sticking your spoon into your ice cream and crossing your arms defensively.
“It’s really comfortable, okay? And it- it smells nice,” you admitted with a pout.
“How often have you been wearing it at home?” He asked teasingly and you glared.
“Oh fuck off!”
Alex merely laughed at the grumpy expression on your face before the two of you fell into a friendly silence.
“Y’know one day I’m going to catch you wearing Willie’s clothes and I’m never going to let you live it down.”
“I’m not the one trying to hide my feelings,” Alex pointed at you with his spoon before resuming eating his ice cream.
“Really? So you’ve had a conversation with Willie about your feelings and you both know where each other stands?” Alex glared at you and you smirked. “That’s what I thought.”
“Y’know what? I don’t need to take this,” he pushed his chair away from the table, sending you a playful glare before walking away to throw away his empty ice cream cup.
“What’s the matter Mercer? Can’t stand the taste of your own medicine?” You called after him and he responded by flipping you off over his shoulder.

Chapter Two: Ultra Mundane
Feel the ultra mundane Of another life A poet in the service
💀💀
You liked opening shifts, especially as the days got warmer. Spring wore on with as many sunny days as rainy days. That morning, you woke to a thick fog and the threat of rain floated in the air. You pulled on the crinkly raincoat and headed out. You were still yawning from the hectic night; you hadn’t gotten much sleep as your mind flitted back to the bar; the man and his intent blue eyes.
You unlocked the door, certain to turn the latch behind you. You had an hour to get everything in the oven and push yesterday’s remnants to the front of the display. You hung your coat in the back room and pulled on your apron and hairnet. Babs would be in at noon but the high school girl, Marcia, was due at opening.
The spatter of rain tapped on the window as you started your opening routine. It was peaceful. Despite your innate shyness, it was one of the few times you were completely alone. No customers, no neurotic mother, no drunken father, just you and the ovens.
That day’s special was cinnamon buns. They’d be placed in the cover glass platter just beside the till with a little card you’d made yourself. Uneven roses along thorny vines bordered the edge and displayed the one-day price. 
The buns were cool enough for you to start icing as you flipped the sign to open and let Marcia in. You went about your task as Marcia stood at the till. She was part-time; only worked on the weekends. She was bubbly and giggly. She told you stories about her classmates and the drama which seemed fit to a midday soap opera. In a way, you envied her. Well, in all ways, you did.
The Sunday rush began at ten, just after church service. The few tables in the bakery quickly filled as you set out the carafes with coffee and tea. Despite the downpour, the elderly crowd ventured the half-block from the steepled church and waited in line for their treats.
After noon, the flow of customers lulled as it usually did. Babs relieved Marcia of her half-shift and helped you mark down what was left of the older batches to half-off. The tinny bell over the door rang as Babs worked at cleaning pans in the back room. You looked up and your mouth fell open at the startlingly familiar face.
The man, Steve, ducked through the door. His hair was darkened by the rain and little droplets clung to his thick beard. He smoothed back his hair as his eyes glimmered and he smiled at you. You snapped your mouth shut and placed the last loaf of discount bread on the shelf.
“Hello,” You greeted him as you went to the till. “Can I get you something today?”
He neared the other side and his fingers tapped on the counter.
“It’s ugly out there,” He glanced over his shoulder.
“Heh, yeah,” You said awkwardly and ran your thumbs along the aged till. “Our cinnamon buns are on special. Just a few left.”
He tilted his head and leaned on the counter.
“You didn’t forget me already,” He raised his brows.
“No, no, I… remember,” You looked down at the faded numbers.
“How’s your pa?” He asked.
“He’s… fine, I’m sure.” You said quietly. 
“You make it yourself?” He tapped the glass lid of the platter. You nodded.
“It’s Babs’ recipe,” You muttered. “I just put it in the oven.”
“I’ll take it,” He reached for his wallet. “And coffee?”
“I’ll have to put a pot on if you don’t mind the wait,” You said.
“I’m in no rush to go back out,” He assured you as the windows shook at the rising winds outside. “Thunderstorms tonight.”
“Mmhmm,” You punched in his order. “Anything else?”
“Cinnamon raisin bread?” He read the board above the loaves. “Is it any good?”
“If you like sweet stuff,” You looked over at the shelf.
“I love sweet stuff,” He said. “I’ll take a loaf.”
“Sliced?” You asked.
“Please,” He answered and you grabbed him a bag.
You returned to the counter and read out his total. He handed you a bill and your fingers brushed against his palm as he took his change. He dropped it in the tip cup and winked. You bit your cheek and grabbed a plate for his bun. You took it out with the tongs and slid it across to him with a knife and fork. 
He thanked you and you told him to sit and you’d bring him coffee when it was ready. He reluctantly backed away and sat at the table closest to the counter. You turned to load a fresh filter into the machine and scooped the grinds in carefully. You grabbed the little tray of creamers and sugar packets and rounded the counter to bring it to him.
“I forgot to ask if you wanted decaf,” You set it down. “I’m sorry.”
“Regular’s fine,” He leaned back in his chair. “You like working here?”
“Um, sure,” You shrugged and made to turn away. 
“Hey, wait,” He said and glanced around the empty bakery. “What’s the rush? Not very busy in here.”
“Your coffee,” You uttered as the grind of the machine sounded behind you.
“I’m patient,” He assured you. “I just wanna talk.”
“Well, I’m working and I shouldn’t--”
“I’ll take the blame, doll,” He said. “Your ma seems like a nice lady.”
You looked away as you rubbed your arm. You shrugged again.
“What? You don’t think she’s nice?”
“She is…” You picked at your sleeve. “But… she doesn’t like bikers.”
He chuckled and cut into his bun. You tried to walk away again.
“She’s a smart lady then,” He said. “I don’t like them much myself.”
You hovered awkwardly at the other side of his table. He chewed and wiped the corner of his mouth.
“And you? You hate bikers, too?”
“Well, I…” You licked your dry lips and his eyes followed the movement. “I never thought much about it, I guess.”
“What time you done, doll?”
You blinked and frowned. You glanced over at the swinging door to the back room. The clink and clank of pans continued as Babs went about her work.
“Why?” You asked.
“I’ll drive you home,” He said as he looked through the window. “It’s a bit wild out there.”
“No, you really-- I can get home.” You slowly inched away. “But thank you.”
“I got the truck.” He insisted. “ Don’t like taking the bike out much in this weather.”
“Really, I’m okay,” You backed up. “I should get your coffee.”
“What time?” He asked again. 
You stopped at the corner of the counter. You stared at him as he dropped his fork and took a bite out of the bun. He watched you closely.
“Two o’clock,” You peeked at the clock; it was already after one. “But you don’t need to--”
“I’ll take my time then,” He said. “And you take yours, doll.”
💀
You were fifteen minutes over time when Babs finally assured you she could close on her own. You were hoping she’d ask you to stay so you had an excuse to send Steve away. You’d stay even if she didn’t pay. 
The thought of being alone with the man was terrifying. You’d only ever been alone with your father and he barely acknowledged you outside of asking for another beer, berating you, or worse.
You untied your apron and hung it on the hook and took your coat. You pulled it on and grabbed your bag before you pushed through into the cafe. Babs followed but drew you back into the kitchen as she saw Steve standing by the window.
“How long has he been here?” She asked as the door swung back into place.
“Almost an hour,” You said evasively. “He’s leaving now.”
She was silent as she stared at you. Her rosy cheeks paled.
“With you?”
You looked down. She tutted and touched your elbow.
“I tried to say no but… it’s just a ride. He’s being nice.” You squeaked.
“Nice? Those men aren’t nice.” She hissed. “You be careful.”
“He has no reason to hurt me,” You argued.
“No reason? He doesn’t need one.”
“Babs, look at me,” You frowned. “Come on.”
“Don’t sell yourself short,” She warned. “He definitely will.”
“I don’t… know what to do,” You said quietly. “To make him go.”
“You call me when you get home,” She drew you into a hug. “Twenty minutes our I’m closing early and coming to find you.”
“You don’t really think--”
“I don’t know what to think, sweets,” She said. “But I know his type are up to no good.”
You hugged your bag and nodded. “I’ll call.”
“Your ma wouldn’t want you hanging ‘round that man,” She tisked.
“I know,” You put your hand on the door. “I’m not too keen on it either.”
You pushed through once more and hesitantly rounded the counter. Steve turned away from his vigil at the window; the rain had slowed but the sky was getting darker. He had his loaf of bread in hand. You kept your bag in your arms as you squeezed it tighter and tighter.
“Sorry, I forgot… to tidy the racks,” You lied. “And my ma will be waiting for me.”
“I’m sure she will,” He went to the door. “Good thing you’re not walking.”
“Thank you, again.” You neared as he opened the door with a dull chime. “You don’t--”
“You act like I’m the first person to do you a favour,” He quipped as you pulled up your hood, your other arm still wrapped around your bag.
“My pa will be in a state too,” You stepped out ahead of him as he zipped up his leather jacket. 
You turned towards your house but he caught your arm. He pulled you back and guided you down to the large truck double-parked in front of Lloyd’s bookshop. It was a lot newer than your father’s and it actually ran. He opened the door as he turned his chin down as the rain slaked over his head and you climbed up quickly.
He closed the door and rushed around the front of the truck. He got in and shoved his keys in the slot as he tossed the bread behind his seat. He turned the engine and let the car idle as he reached into his jacket. He pulled out his phone and wiped the stray droplet off the screen with the thigh of his jeans. He dropped it in the cupholder and shifted gears before he pulled out.
“You work tomorrow?” He asked.
“Yeah,” You answered as you watched the rivulets streaming down the window. The steady beat of the windshield wipers interspersed the patter of rain. 
“You ever get a day off?”
“Wednesdays and Thursdays,” You regretted answering. You should have lied but you were never very good at that.
He slowed at the sign and you felt him looking at you. You were too scared to look back. He slowly hit the gas and you leaned against the door as you clung to your page.
“Wednesday night,” He said. “How about you come down to the bar for a drink?”
You glanced over at him but quickly turned your eyes ahead of you. Your lips parted. You were silent.
“Hey?” He prodded.
“I don’t drink,” You said.
“Jeez, I’m not asking you to pick up a habit, just one drink.” He urged.
“My ma--”
“How old are you?” He asked as he came in sight of your house. “What are we? Couple years apart? You’re an adult. Let your ma enjoy an empty nest for the night.”
You inhaled and sucked your lip in nervously. As he came closer to your house, your stomach flipped.
“I don’t know.” You muttered.
“I’ll be by at nine to get you. Plenty of time to get yourself sorted.” He said.
“I didn’t say yes,” You replied as he stopped behind your father’s busted Ford.
His eyes flashed as he turned to you and you looked back shyly.
“Wednesday. Nine.” He stated as his arm stretched between your seats, his hand on your headrest. “Tell your ma I’ll have you home by midnight. She doesn’t need to worry so much.”
Your lashes fluttered and you bent your head. You stared at the wet spots on your canvas bag. You unbuckled your seatbelt and reached for the door handle. His hand fell to your shoulder to stop you.
“Wait,” He grabbed his phone. “You’re number?”
“I don’t--” You stared at his cell and pursed your lips. “I don’t have a cell phone. I can give you my house number.”
“No phone?” He repeated. “No, it’s okay.” He fixed the string of your raincoat. “I’ll see you ‘round.”
You pulled the handle and tumbled out onto your feet. The mud squelched around your shoes. You should’ve worn your boots but you had only the sense to bring your coat. You didn’t look back as you closed the door and rushed up to your porch. The curtains along the front room moved as you opened the screen door. The tires squelched behind you and you rushed inside. Your mother greeted you from the living room doorway.
“I told you not to talk to that man,” She said.
“Ma,” You hung your bag and undid your coat. “I tried. Okay? I’m tired. I worked--”
“And I’ve been cleaning this mess all day,” She huffed. “Your pa made a hell of a mess when he finally woke up.”
“Ma, please,” You kicked your shoes off. “Just-- I just got home.”
“I don’t want him around here,” She crossed her arms.
You dragged your feet down the hall and stopped in front of her. 
“Neither do I,” You said. “Maybe next time, you can try telling him.”
You turned and went to your room. You closed yourself in and felt your heart racing. Wednesday wasn’t very far at all. Three days. Barely a wink in a small town like this.

PGR OCs Interviews Autumn addition!
Thank you to @punishing-gray-raven-ocs for the questions!
(this is going to be along one lmao) 
1) Are you excited about Autumn starting? Why or why not?
Ash: Of course! Halloween is so much fun and I love all of the fall themed food that shows up around this time of year
Qiu: Hmmm, funny enough I don’t care much for the season I was named after. (Qiu means ‘autumn’ in Chinese) I like winter much more.
Anna: It’s a very cozy season, a bit chilly but it’s very calming compared to the hustle and bustle that comes with winter because of the holidays. 
Blaze: It’s nice, I just prefer warmer seasons 
2) If you are excited about Autumn, what is your favorite Autumn activity?
Ash: Halloween! Call it childish but Halloween is my favourite, I love dressing up and going on horror movie marathons. Can’t forget the candy!
Qiu: Didn’t you just have alcohol the last time you threw a party?  
Anna: I just like how everything looks covered in warm colours. Something is very calming about it.  
3) How would you like to enjoy Autumn once the war is over?
Ash: Experiencing actual fall hopefully. It’s simulated here in Babylonia but I think the real thing would be better. 
Qiu: With Ash, I’d love to have a proper Halloween with them. Trick or treating and all. Halloween customs have changed quite a bit on Babylonia. 
Ash: Awww you do love your gege
Qiu: Of course
Anna: Hopefully without the stress of the war, that’s the main thing for me. 
Blaze: Sitting at a park writing poems while the leaves fall. A bit boring but it’s calming to me. 
Anna: Haha, you sound like one of those romantic renaissance poets
Blaze: Is that bad? 
Anna: No! Of course not! Vera is very lucky to have you. 
4) Do you enjoy Pumpkin Spice-scented foods and/or products?
Ash: Yup! They’re like half the reason I love autumn. 
Qiu: No. 
Ash: Betrayed by my own blood.
Qiu: We’re not even related???
Anna: Neutral
Blaze: Not really
Ash: I feel so betrayed. 
5) Are you going to decorate your dorm for Autumn or Halloween?
Ash: YES
Qiu: *sighs* I don’t really have a say in it, the constructs usually have a vote 
Anna: Maybe for Halloween, too much work to do autumn then Halloween. 
Blaze: No, I think seeing the leaves from a window is enough. Though I don’t have much of a choice when Kamui decorates the entire dorm. 
6) Hot cocoa or pumpkin spice latte. Which one would you pick, and why?
Ash: Pumpkin spice, it’s not fall without it. 
Qiu: Hot cocoa, I don’t like anything pumpkin flavoured
Ash: >:0
Anna: Hot cocoa, I just like it more
Blaze: Hot cocoa, it’s a classic. 
Ash: Traitors. All of you. 
7) If you're a Commandant, are you throwing any Autumn or Halloween related activities for your squad?
Ash: Yup! I think everyone deserves a break from this war. 
Qiu: If the constructs want to I suppose, but I won’t be taking part in it myself, i dislike parties. 
Ash: :(
Qiu: Still no, gege
Roland: :(
Qiu: When did you get here-
8) What would be the perfect Autumn-themed date for you?
Ash: Well-
Qiu: Should Ash gege really get a say in this? They’re single
Ash: Hey, I still have ideas! 
Qiu: *shrugs* 
Ash: A bike ride around the city, going to cute cafes and taking walks under the colourful leaves. Ah, that would be the life. If I had someone to do it with. 
Qiu: Honestly, I’m up for whatever. But Roland’s ideas are more or less the same as gege’s. *sighs* He’s so flamboyant. 
Anna: I just think a picnic in the park under the trees will suffice. Maybe a walk and some pictures. 
Blaze: I’m not sure. I think Vera would like something exciting though. 
9) Do you enjoy rainy weather, or does it make you gloomy?
Ash: Depends. A little bit of rain is fine, but when it’s absolutely pouring and there’s thunder, I draw the line there. 
Qiu: I find it relaxing and rather pretty
Anna: Not for me, I don’t enjoy it
Blaze: I like it. It’s more quiet on rainy days, less noise, less distractions. You really have time to reflect on life. 
10) Cuddling up next to your favorite partner, on a rainy afternoon, while watching your favorite movies. Would you enjoy this activity? Why or why not?
Ash: I wish *cries in single*
Qiu: I’ve actually fallen asleep a few times during this. I always wake up to find Roland has been playing with my hair the entire time. I don’t know why *touches very fluffy wolf cut* 
Anna: *turns red* It’s all cute and cuddly until ‘Nabe gets a few ideas... *a few hickies are visible on her neck, probably thanks to her lover* 
Ash: Eeeewwwww, tita Annnnaaaaaa (tita = aunt)
Anna: D-don’t be so childish. 
Blaze: I like it. Vera falls asleep on me a lot, agh, I love her so much *blushes*
Ash: I’m so single
Qiu: *pats their back* One day.

Love Me Like You Do ( Guide To Getting Back Your Self-Respect)
Summary: Dae-sung just wants Sol-i to be happy, even if that’s not with him so he decides to bury his feelings while Sol-i realizes how much strength she gained from his constant unwavering support. She becomes to questions her feelings for Cha Heon. 
Author's note: For the Dae-sung appreciators and anyone who wants Sol-i to keep her self-respect. I finally watched the recent episodes and I saw Heon making an effort but honestly I am already over him and anyone with some self-respect would be too. So in this my girl gets her self-respect back, wins over Dae-sung and gets the love and unconditional support she deserves.  
Tumblr media
He doesn't cry. Not there on the bench, in front of her lying his heart out. He'd never thought he'd have to lie to her always wanting to give her nothing but his genuine honesty and support, but her question had stunned him. It was ridiculously moronic of him to write something so.. revealing on the paper. He knew it was a possibility that she would see it. A small hopeful part of him wanted her to see it, to finally know his heart and how much she meant to him, she was like the sun on a gray stormy day and he was tired of carrying these feelings in his heart. 
But she was uncomfortable, that much was evident. He couldn't handle that, she was his first real friend and he couldn't imagine his life without her dimpled smile- didn't want to. So he lied. It made his stomach churn, bubbling up with bile until he felt nauseous and he had to escape from her relief, she was so relieved by his admission. It was apparent that his feelings were unwelcome, she would never look at him the way she looked at Heon. He needed to find a way to accept that. 
So he waits until he's in the pool to unleash the tsunami swirling in his eyes, sobs wrenched from his lungs as he breaks apart slapping at the water and wishing he could turn off his heart. He tried to stop this by calling her "brother" hoping he'd be able to trick his heart into truly seeing her as a brother. In the end it was all futile and every second he spent with her only heightened his infatuation, until it shifted from like and swung into dangerous territory.
It was good. This was good. It was better that he find out now, he needed to move on for the salvation of their friendship. He would do it. He could do anything for Sol-i. But he would let himself mourn today, mourn the loss of his feelings and any chance of her reciprocating. He would cry until his throat was hoarse. Roaring into the air before dunking his head under the chilling pool and submerging his feelings.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
It isn't easy but he stops doing the things that are natural to him: buying snacks he knows she likes, saving the best hand warmer for her, going out of his way to make her smile and when he sees her with Heon, he doesn't interrupt leaving Sol-i to shine brightly up at someone else. Too sad to even be jealous.
"Woo Dae-sung? Are you listening? Who have I been talking to this whole time?" Jin-Hwan sighs exasperatedly, knocking into his shoulder. He turns to smile in apology, lost in his thoughts staring out the window. It was the safest place to look with Sol-i right in his line of vision, it was difficult not to get lost in the way the sunlight hit her dark brown hair, setting the strands ablaze.
"Sorry. I was daydreaming. What were you saying?" He nods staring into the spectacled eyes of his friend, giving his full attention and he laughs and nods at all the correct moments as Jin-Hwan regals his newest plot to win over Ha-Young, his latest idea a flash mob. He laughs freely at the other boys antics as he flails to mimic the possible choreography, at least Ha-Young never seemed uncomfortable with his various love confessions. He'd even found the other girl looking at the vocally gifted boy when she thought no one was looking, an inquisitive look as if she were seeing him for the first time.
Despite his own rejection he would be elated for his friends, he wanted those he cared about to always be smiling even if he wasn't.
Before he realizes it's time to go to the pool, he has a competition very soon and his coach has been shorter than usual pushing him past his limit. He accepts the punishment, enjoying the sharp knife of the water on his skin using his heartbreak as fuel. He was in control in the pool, his domain and his first love that would never turn its back on him.
"I'll see you all later!" He calls out to his small group of friends, making sure not to let his eyes linger on Sol-i as he usually does instead sprinting out of the room. He will get over this and things will go back to normal again.
When coach praises him on his form and speed he realizes for once his mind is not filled with a certain pint-sized girl.
One day at a time.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
"Heon-ah! Wait let's go together!" She calls out to the retreating back of the boy who is always on her mind, her sweet honey Heon. Just his mere presence is enough to make her feel like she's on cloud nine. Huffing when he doesn't slow down at all, she starts to chase after him closing the gap between them. But being as clumsy as she is her feet get tangled up and she finds herself tripping over nothing, she closes her eyes waiting for the painful collision. It never comes.
Squinting one eye open she finds herself staring at the flecks of cobble in the ground, seemingly elevating above it. 
"Brother! Are you okay?" A familiar voice greets her and when she twists to look behind her, Dae-sung’s hands are latched onto the top handle of her backpack preventing her fall. She smiles in gratitude, Dae-sung is such a great friend he's always there when she needs him. She beams up at him dimples making an appearance.
He smiles back, tugging her back onto her feet.
"I'm okay. Thank you for saving me." She bows her head slightly before remembering that she'd been following Heon. She spins around only to find the boy in question already climbing into his bike, looking at them with passive eyes before riding away.
"You should hurry so he doesn't leave you. Be careful and get home safely."
She hums not looking back before running over to follow Heon, he doesn't talk to her the entire ride home fleeing before she can even wish him goodnight. She huffs but goes inside her house calling out to her parents before running to her room and diving into her bed. Tomorrow, she'll make Heon like her tomorrow.
Probably.
Hopefully.
She dozes off her head filled with the boy who owns her mind, body and soul.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
"Anyone know where Dae-sung is? Doesn't it feel like he's always in the pool, has he turned in a merman? Aquaman?" Ji-Hwan quips at the lunch table, looking around at them as he mimes swimming in a pool. Sol-i stops mid chew looking around, she hadn't noticed he was missing but it was so obvious, normally he'd be there handing out snacks and laughing at Ji-Hwan's bad jokes. Making everything brighter with his infectious smile. 
"He has that big swim meet coming up remember? Are we all going to cheer him on?" Ha-Young responds, asking in a tone that leaves little room for argument. She looks at Heon to see his answer, he doesn't look up from his sandwich chewing slowly as if he's eating alone.
"Heon-ah, are you going?" She grins at him, willing him to agree with her winning smile.
His face remains impassive but he shrugs and she takes it as a yes. Jumping in her seat and turning back to Ha-Young nodding her head at the question finally.
Her friend squints at her though, looking annoyed for some reason. But the bell rings signaling the end of lunch before she can inquire why that cold look was directed her way. She nervously picks up her tray trailing behind her friends, not remembering to wait for Heon.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
She almost slept through her alarm but she manages to drag herself out of bed and she dances when she sees that Heon is getting on his bicycle too, they can go together.
"Heon-ah! Good morning."
He turns to look at her nodding softly, "You actually woke up?"
She playfully glares at him, "If you were so worried about me, why didn't you call me?"
"Why would I call you? You have an alarm."
"Your voice is much better than an alarm though." She answers honestly, boldly staring into his eyes before he scoffs at her and grabs his bike riding off without a word.
She cries indignantly before racing off after him.
She wonders what it's like to be so good at something as she watches Dae-sung effortlessly swipe through the water, powerful strokes as he closes in on the wall reaching out a hand and screaming triumphantly when his name lights up, first place Woo Dae-sung.
They all jump up cheering, signs in their hands and they celebrate his win. Jin-Hwan starts the chant and soon every voice in the room has joined them, all cheering his name.
Woo Dae-sung! Woo Dae-sung! Woo Dae-sung!
They find him later, leaving the locker room in jeans and a hoodie now, hair still plastered to his head from the swim cap. They are cheer when they see him, his smile is blinding as he waves at them a slight blush rising on his cheeks.
"Dae-sung congratulations! You were amazing!" She proudly cries sticking two thumbs out at him.
He smiles back at her, "Thank you. Thanks for coming to cheer for me. You all really motivated me."
It's only right that they should have a celebratory meal, they stay close going to a tteokbokki place near by and easily getting a table. She sits down in the middle leaving two empty seats on either side of her, Ha-Young and Ji-Hwan sit on the opposite side. She turns to smile at Heon patting the seat next to her, he sits down immediately looking at the menu, barely sparing her a glance. She's momentarily surprised though when Dae-sung goes to sit on the other side as well, eyeing the empty seat right next to her that had been much closer.
But he's looking at the menu as well as if they didn't come here specifically to eat the spicy noodle. Weird.
Ji-Hwan carries the conversation praising Dae-sung again then telling them all about his new favorite song, crying out with Ha-Young slaps his hand when he tries to serenade her. Dae-sung laughs at them both but never starts a conversation with her, never looking over at her for too long. She tries and fails to engage Heon in a conversation, her own voice filling the void.
After a few minutes, a waitress comes to take their order.
"Hi, I'm your server-- excuse me are you Woo Dae-sung?" The girl who looks like she's not much older than them, she's short with deep brown hair in a high ponytail and a small round face. Very pretty.
They all still and look up at her question, turning to Dae-sung who looks confused but nods in confirmation.
"I'm sorry I'm a fan of yours. I've seen you around school but I couldn't bring myself to say hi. You were amazing today, that was your best time!" She gushes practically bouncing in her spot, eyes bright as she looks at the boy, who is scarlet under her gaze.
"Oh. Thank you! You don't need to be shy, you can say hi. I'm just a student like you. I'm nobody special."
"Don't say that! You're the youngest in your group and you have the best time. I really admire you."
They all sit in silence watching the interaction, ping-ponging back and forth with each exchange. Before the girl seems to recall that they're all there.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She bows low, "Do you know what you want to order?" She asks avoiding eye contact now and Ha-Young orders for them all and she tells them their food will be out soon. Bowing another time before stealing a gaze at Dae-sung and scurrying off.
"Maybe I should start swimming. I want fan girls too." Ha-Young slaps Jin-Hwan in the back of the head and he folds over in pain before crying out that his heart belongs to her, gaining another smack that he receives like it's a hug smiling through the gentle abuse.
In a few minutes the food arrives, steaming hot and delicious aroma wafting off and filling her nostril. The waitress asks them if they need anything else and it is not lost on Sol-i that her eyes never leave Dae-sung’s face. They all decline and she bows before retreating, looking reluctant to leave. Sol-i feels uneasy but she can’t decipher why. Her emotions twisting up in the pits of her stomach. 
Sol-i stealthy peeks over at Dae-sung to see if he's excited about having a fan girl but he's focused on eating, stuffing noodles into his cheeks before humming in pleasure, eyes closing as he enjoys the meal. Her stomach does a weird somersault. It must be indigestion. She grabs her glass of water, taking a big gulp. Choking a little when it goes down the wrong hole, Heon stares at her in the corner of his eye but then there's already a napkin in front of her face.
"Here. You should drink slower."
She takes the proffered napkin dabbing at her chin, "Thank you." Dae-sung smiles at her, but it looks different. Strained. Not quite reaching his eyes. Her stomach squeezes again.
What's wrong with me?
When it starts to get late they finally start to leave, Jin-Hwan slapping Dae-sung's wallet out of his hands when he tries to pay. They all chip in instead but he insists on leaving a tip and Jin- Hwan rolls his eyes but nods in agreement before a sly smile spreads across his face.
"Oh. I know why you want to leave the tip. Smooth." He throws a wink and smile the sputtering boy's way as he denies any ulterior motives. But their waitress is making her way back out and Jin-Hwan is already vibrating slapping Dae-sung on his back in encouragement. 
"I hope you enjoyed your meal and I didn't bother you too much. I'm sorry about earlier." She apologizes again and Dae-sung smiles brightly at her, a real smile that curves his eyes into half moons. Sol-i feels that same tinge in her stomach, when will her food finally digest?
"You don't need to be sorry! What's your name? Next time I see you at school I'll say hi." He sounds so friendly and Sol-i watches the other girl blush as she stares at Dae-sung, she finally turns away looking at Heon. This is where her focus should be, why she finding it so hard to focus? She likes Heon. She always has. 
"They look good together." Jin-Hwan claims shamelessly watching them talk through the window, Sol-i pointedly doesn't look. Telling herself she wants to respect his privacy.
Minutes pass by before Dae-sung rejoins them.
"Where did you all go?" He tilts his head and this time to her surprise, it's Ha-Young who teases him.
"We wanted to give you space. It seemed like she wanted to say something to you. Did you have a good talk? Did you learn her name?" She raises her eyebrows and smirks at him. 
Sol-i feels uneasy listening to them interrogate Dae-sung even more so when he looks down bashfully, running a hand across his head.
"It's Seong Mi-Ho. She um...she gave me her number."
Ji-Hwan cheers loudly jumping to put him in a headlock and Sol-i feels sick to her stomach now, like a someone is doing a drumline in her small intestine. 
She doesn't notice Heon nudging at her shoulder, until he calls her name. In a daze she turns to look at him.
"Sorry?"
"I asked if you were ready to go. I'm leaving."
She nods quietly before calling out to her friends, Ha-Young now has Jin-Hwan in a headlock as Dae-sung laughs watching them another real smile, it makes her feel small and jagged.
"We're leaving." The three stop to look at her before saying their goodbyes.
Impulsively she looks at Dae-sung and he meets her eyes for once. Maybe this had all been in her head. Her stupid imagination.
"Dae-sung, I'm so proud of you! Good night."
He stands frozen, unprepared for her exclamation before he nods smiling at her.
"Thank you brother. Get home safely."
Fake smile. This time the pain is in her chest.
When she's safely back in her room she stares at her ceiling, head of full of questions and worries. All about a certain swimmer. Void of another stoic boy. 
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
She wakes up late and dashes through the door, grabbing her bike and pedaling until her feet hurt but she makes it to school with two minutes to spare.
Waves good morning to her friends minus Dae-sung who isn't in his seat, she struggles to focus as she stares blankly at her notebook devoid of any notes. Head too full of thoughts to process any new information. She doesn't even notice Heon staring at her, confused that she isn't staring back.
Dae-sung doesn't show up until lunch and she lights up before realizing he isn't alone. The same girl from the tteokbokki shop is walking very close to him, their shoulders brushing with every step. Dae-sung waves happily when he sees them all before stopping to motion at the girl.
"Everyone this is Seong Mi-Ho, she's in the same lunch period as us! Is it okay if she sits with us?" He asks hopefully and Ha-Young scoots over giving her ample space and he smiles in gratitude. Dae-sung looks at the remaining seats hesitating before sitting next to her, directly across the other girl.
They eat comfortably, but she can't help sneaking glances at the other girl. She seems nice, laughing and asking them all questions but it's obvious her attention is mostly focused on Dae-sung, enraptured every time he speaks.
"Sol-i ah do you want to go to the bathroom with me?" Ha-Young's voice cuts through her contemplation and she jumps before answering, "Yes I'll come."
She bounds after her friend before walking straight into her back with a soft oomph.
Grabbing her forehead she looks up at Ha-Young in question.
"Sol-i, are you okay?"
She squirms under the penetrating stare, shifting from side to side before tugging at her hair.
"What do you mean?"
A thin eyebrow raises, "You haven't been staring at Heon at all today. Do you not like Seong Mi-Ho? You keep looking at her."
She rushes to immediately deny that speculation, "No! I mean yes! I mean..."
Ha-Young crosses her arms now, gaze getting harder as she struggles to find an answer.
"I.. Ha-Young ah....have you ever realized something when it was too late?"
The girl tilts her head accessing her with a sharp gaze.
"What are you talking about?"
She loses her nerve, feeling stupid in Ha-Young's no nonsense gaze. The last time they'd spoken she had adamantly told the other girl she had no interest in Dae-sung, how could she possibly say that she was faltering now? Plus he'd only been joking she'd gotten nervous for no reason, overwhelmed at the idea of someone liking her. Liking Heon was easier, she could do so without any expectation.
"Nothing. I'm just feeling tired I didn't get enough sleep last night." She lies walking towards the bathroom, desperate to keep her new feelings to herself.
It's better this way.

The image is not mine
Warning: A bit of a manga spoiler
Masterlist 
Next up: Denki Kaminari x reader (Requested)
Summary: Bakugou and the reader go on a date but in the middle of the date the Bakusquad interrupt their date.
Bakugou POV
This date was going great (Y/N) is having fun, I was getting toys for her every chance get. I wanted to get a big ass stuffed animal but this fucking games are fucking rigged.But i did get her a bunch of little ones that she had to hold them all in a bag. Now we were walking around seeing all the roller coaster, games, food stand and a giant ferris wheel. 
I could noticed that  she was staring at the ferris wheel and the she started to talk to me.”Can we go on the ferris wheel?” she looked up at me while pointing at the machine. I looked up at the machine and started to say.
“How about we eat something before we go ride it.” I said to her 
“Okay, what should we eat? There a lot of stands around here.” She asked has she grabbed my hand and intertwined her fingers with mines. When we got close the section of the food stand. (Y/N) looked around and pointed at one of the open tables. When we sat down and i started to say.
“Well, we got Pizza, tokoyaki, funnel cake and some other shit. What would you like to eat.”
“How about we share some tokoyaki with that spice sauce you like.” I raised my eyebrow.
“Okay, be right back” I went to the shop that was selling the type of food and ordered the plate with a couple of drink. Wile i waited i looked around my surrounding. There a lot of people tonight good thing i bought the tickets in advanced if not i think they would have been sold out. The worker called my order and i picked it up the tray and started to walk back to the table.
The second that i could start to see the table i saw yellow, red, pink, purple and (H/C). God damn it, no, not now, not here. Why are you idiots here. I got closer and i could hear laughter, I walked further and (Y/N) saw me and pointed to to her side. When she pointed at her side everyone turned around and saw me. I place the tray on the table and sat next top her.
“Baku-bro! What are you doing here?” Said Kirishima all excited.
“It’s non of you business.”
“There an even greater question at hand. What are you guys doing here together?” Mina questioned has she looked at me while on the other side of (Y/N).
“It’s obvious they are on a date” Kaminari said with a shit eating grin on his face.
“WHAT!” Yelled Mina, Kirishima and Sero. While Shinsuo was just stoic face.
“Baku-babe, you finally grown some ball.” Said Raccoon eyes while sticking her tongue out at me.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU BITCH!”
“Katsuki, calm do--”
“Finally going to get your dick wet, and not be so god damned mad all the time.” Knock off pikachu interrupted. I could give a shit right now because what he said made me even madder.
“Deki!” Sero yelled.
“Sero can you tape his mouth?” Shinsuo asked and he just gave him a thumbs up and proceeded to take some tape of his elbow.
“Wait no.” Sinsuo grabbed him and Sero taped his mouth.
“(Y/N), why didn’t you tell anything to us girls?” Mina said has she wrapped her hands around her arm.
“I’m sorry, Mina. We were trying to keep it a secret until we were sure.” she confess to her best friend. “But anyway, Katsuki let’s eat the food going to get cold”
“W sat back down and decided to eat out meal. After we ate out food Mina decided to take (Y/N) to play skee-ball. While the guys decided to pull me away to go play bumper karts. I was even more pissed this date was turning out to be horrible. Why in the hell did this idiots have to interrupted. So, i took out my anger out my smacking into Denki. 
“C’mon, bro. Why are you so made?” Kirishima yelled at me while he bumped into Sero. 
“Yeah this amusement park is cool as hell.” Pikachu yelled has he bumped me and i got even madder and bumped into Shinsuo.
“SHUT UP.”
“His just mad because Mina stole his girl.” Shinsuo said and before i could say anything a bell went off alerting us that our time was up.We got off the karts and went on our way, i went faster then the rest of them.
“Bakugou don’t leave us.” Sero yelled, I just kept walking further away from them until I spotted the girls and went their way. When I got closer to them the saw me and stopped. The girls had bags of candy and when Mina spotted the other boys she took tiny bags full of hard candy, gummies, lollipops and other types candies.
They took their bags and start to open it and eat their candy. When i looked back at (Y/N) was eating cotton candy, she looked up at me and moved her hand forward has asking me if i wanted any.n. I shake my head no and i could see that her other hand was full with bags. She moved her hand forward and i said no agan, That is when she swallowed the piece of candy that she had in her mouth and started to say.
“Babe, i’m asking you to hold it i want to give you something.
“Oh.” I grabbed the base of the sugar treat and she starts to search in one her bags, She took out a orange plastic bah with decorating on it. The bag was filled with candy just like the other but she was about to give to me she said.
“I bought this candies just for you the shop owner told me that this are spicy and i got them for you.” She said with a smile on her face and placed the bag on myu other hand.
“Thank you.” I took one of the gummy candies and ate one. I could feel my cheeks getting warmer, I could also feel eyes on us. This was getting embarrassing, just leave, I turned around  and started to yell.
“WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT!” I grabbed (Y/N) ans stated walking way from them. I could start to hear them yell at us.
“Bakugo is finally a man. He’s finally a man.”Kirishima said with tears coming out of his eyes.
“Keep it PG, Bakugo.” Yelled Mina has she waved at (Y/N), has she waved back.
“He’s definitely going to become a man now.” Said Kaminari.
“Kaminari do me a favor.” Shinsuo asked him,
“Yea-” The second that Kaminari responded his eyes were frosted over meaning that he was under Shinsuos control.
“Now Kaminari, punch your self in the face.” When he said that Kaminari punch himself square in the nose.
“Really, Kaminari. Are you a dumb-ass.” Sero said, then he took his tape and wrapped it around Kaminari who at this point was bleeding from his nose. We just kept walking away from them.
We were far away from them, so i stopped and grabbed (Y/N) hands correctly and intertwined my fingers with her. I looked down at her and she was looking at me with a smile that very much like. We kept walking and we were around a lot of rides but i was interested in one in a particular ride that was at the end of all the booths.
“Bakugou, where are we exactly going?” She asked me with curiosity all over her face.
“Just wait until we get there.” I said with my normal tone voice. That is were we saw it the ferris wheel. Luckily the line was empty, so that was great.
“We’re going to the wheel!” She said all exited, looking up at me.
“Yeah, i told you we would go once we finish eating.” I said without looking at her, because i know that if i looked at her i was going to blush even harder then I already am.
Once we got to the front of the line the worker asked for out ticket and i gave them. When the workers small door for the ride and (Y/N). Before I got in I asked one of the workers if he could stop the ride at the very top. Once i got in she sat on the opposite side of the cart. She started looking at her surroundings.
This is the only time i could sit down with out getting made fun off. How the hell did i get so fucking lucky. She is sweet, caring, nice and very soft spoken. So, how the fuck did get to be with someone so fucking nice. I still don’t understand.
“I’m sorry.” For the first time in my damn life. God i feel fucking weird, (Y/N) was even more surprised. Because she had her eyes widened .
“What do you mean you’re sorry.” She raised her voice.She stood up and sat next to me."
“This most be the worst date you've ever been to. I wanted this to be something special but it’s not” I was looking down at my hands. She grabbed the side of my face and turned my head to face her. I was now looking at (E/C) orbs.
“Katsuki, just because our friends found out that we are dating it doesn’t mean that it was a bad date.” (Y/N) said while pleasing her other hand on the other side of my face.
“Are you sure? Because that walking charger doesn’t know when to shut his damn trap.” I said angrily.
“Katsuki, if we take what Kmainari says to heart, we might as well be idiots like him.” She said while laughing. I smirked. The ride stopped  signaling us that we’re at the top, we look out the window and we could see the whole park. Her eyes were shining from all the light of the park. 
“You might be right” I turned her face to face me. We were close enough that we could feel each other breath. I got a bit closer and kissed her. The kiss didn’t last that long.
“Have I ever mentioned that your kisses are great?” She said
“Ha, Of course they are great.” I said with a bit of a smirk.
“You say that has if you ever had a girlfriend.” 
“OI!” She just laughed

Hot ‘n Cold
Kim Namjoon x Reader 
(Written for a writing game by @letsgetitinbusan) 
6059 Words
Genre: Fluff, Friends to Lovers, Smut
Warnings: Consumption of Alcohol, Swearing, Unprotected Sex (Wrap it before you tap it, kids), Outdoor Sex, Vaginal Fingering 
Summary: A camping trip takes an unexpected turn
Preview: 
“You feel much warmer already.”
“Mhh, you are helping a lot with that.”
“I think I noticed. Good to know I can be of assistance. It’s getting quite hot in here, don’t you think?”
Bliss. Overwhelming and all-consuming bliss clouded your mind when you walked out the door of the lecture hall you just took your last exam of the semester in. Making your way through the crowd of students towards the nearest exit you hurried out of the building knowing you wouldn’t have to set foot in that hellhole that dares to call itself a university for the next beautiful, fun-packed, exciting 8 weeks of summer break. On the way back to the dorm, fully immersed in your phone, you suddenly felt a large hand gripping your shoulder. Hurling around, the grinning face of Namjoon, your friend and next-door dorm mate, appeared in your view.
“Guess who got himself full marks on their last project of the year?”
Namjoon exclaimed practically beaming with elation and pride.
“Hmm let me think…  Must have been that dude you hung out with last week, right?”
You said teasingly, pretending to think hard to guess the answer to this, truly very difficult, question considering the genius mind of your friend.
“No, silly, it’s me of course.”
Namjoon rolled his eyes and continued.
“Anyway, how was your exam? Any more luck this time?”
“Ugh, I wish. It was a disaster, my brain feels like it’s been sucked out of my head. I’d be surprised if I actually passed though knowing my prof, I highly doubt it. That man just can’t teach a class for the life of him. It’s an outrage he has the audacity to have us take an exam on that waste of a time his lecture was if you ask me.”
You rambled on frustrated but continued jokingly.
“I might have to borrow that big juicy brain of yours next time so I have an actual chance to succeed.”
“Ready to get wasted at the camp tonight then, I assume?”
“Hell fucking yeah I am.”
Laughing, you both continued down the paved road leading to the big grey building that was your dorm. Dragging yourself up the numerous sets of stairs you asked yourself for the thousandth time why exactly you’d thought picking a room on the 5th floor of a building that has no elevator was a good idea. Well, at least you had the best crackheads you could wish for as neighbours so that was something, you thought to yourself. Over the years you had lived on that floor, you and the others had bonded over your shared struggles of living in that falling-apart building and the uncountable tragedies that unfolded within those walls, including that one hot summer in which the rusty, ancient water pipe burst and thus none of the inhabitants had running water for two weeks straight. Out of that emergency situation a new tradition was born with all of you packing your essentials and riding your bikes down to the shore and going camping every summer during semester break.
“Bet Jungkook hasn’t even started packing?”
Namjoon said and knowing his room mate, you agreed.
“Better help him then, we should leave as soon as possible so we can secure our spot at the campsite. I don’t trust people these days, that spot is getting popular and I’m not taking any chances.”
With a last wave at him you unlocked your door and disappeared into your apartment. Ever since your former room mate and parter in crime had moved out earlier that month you had the flat to yourself and you still weren’t accustomed to having that much space for your stuff. Sadly, your flatmate had moved across the country meaning she couldn’t take part in the camping trip this year.
Scanning your possessions, you skilfully grabbed various items and articles of clothing you’d be needing for the next few days and threw them on the bed. After ticking everything off of your imaginary list, you began packing the pile of things into your backpack.
Not much later and after checking your groupchat to make sure that everybody was ready to go, you left your room and walked down the corridor meaning to knock on the door on the right. It immediately opened and Yoongi appeared in the frame, manoeuvring his belongings into the hallway.
“Good to go?”
You asked to which Yoongi hummed in agreement. You descended down the staircase together carrying your equipment.
“Is Jimin downstairs already?”
You wondered, since Yoongi’s room mate was nowhere in sight.
“Nah, he still got that dance performance with Hoseok this afternoon. They will join us later this evening.”
“Right, right, forgot about that.”
In front of the building Namjoon, Jungkook and Taehyung were already loading their luggage onto their bikes. When everybody was done you set off on your journey revelling in the beautiful feeling of freedom awaiting you at the camping site. After a good hour you turned into the path leading towards the clearing at the beginning of the small forest by the shore. Upon arrival Jungkook immediately spotted the car that was parked right beside the track.
“How does he manage to be here first every time? I swear he does that on purpose just to rear me up.”
Jungkook whined at the sight of his brother.
Pausing the unpacking of his luggage from the trunk of his car, Seokjin greeted you all with a wave and a big smile.
“Great! You made it just in time to help me unload the tents.”
“Speaking of, we need to agree on sleeping arrangements since a certain someone managed to rip theirs last year.”
Yoongi said and all eyes lingered on Namjoon who looked at the ground in shame.
“Let’s see… We got four tents. That means Taehyung and Jimin in their tent and Yoongi and Hoseok will share one, I guess? Then me in my tent and Y/N in hers. Which means Namjoon and Jungkook will have to seek shelter in one each. Any preferences?”
Jin spoke and looked at the two tent-less members of the group.
“I don’t mind sharing the tent with Y/N. Uhh... I mean if she doesn’t mind of course.”
Namjoon said quickly and you couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Fine by me. As long as it’ll still be in one piece by the end of this trip.”
“Great, that’s settled then. Little brother, the honour of sharing a tent with this handsome guy is all yours.”
Jin said exaggeratedly gesturing at his face which Jungkook could only answer with a grimace, seeming a lot less excited about said fact than his brother was.
You busied yourselves to take the tents out of the trunk of the car and searched for the perfect spot to put them up. You walked across the clearing examining the ground thoroughly with Namjoon following behind with your tent under his arm.
“What about here? We’d get some shade from that big oak tree right there and it looks like the ground is as even as it can get.”
You asked and Namjoon agreed.
“Perfect. You really have a good eye for that. Remember the first time we went camping and you and your room mate placed the tent directly above a molehill?”
Namjoon laughed and you snorted at the memory.
“Please don’t remind me, I got the shock of a lifetime when suddenly something tried to make its way in from underneath the tent. Never screamed so loud in my life.”
“I remember you woke us all up thinking you were getting stabbed or something. Scared the shit out of me.”
Namjoon said and started setting the tent up. Since he was very skilled in putting the pieces together, you didn’t have to do much besides holding the poles up for Namjoon to drape the fabric around. After a few minutes the mission was accomplished and you looked pleased at the joint achievement.
“I’m really glad you picked me to share a tent with. Without you I would have been struggling a lot more to get it set up.”
“Well thanks for trusting me enough to let me into your holy cave.”
At that remark you stopped dead in your tracks and burst out laughing then turned to Namjoon with an incredulous look. Namjoon who seemed to have realised just now how much of an innuendo his comment had been covered his eyes with his right hand shaking his head in disbelief.
When the others were done setting up their tents, Taehyung and Jungkook began collecting some wood and stacked it into the fireplace that had been built in the middle of the clearing. The rest of your group took seats on the logs that were placed around the firepit and unpacked the food that you had brought. Jin and Namjoon took it upon themselves to act as masters of the meat and impaled sausages with some thin sticks to roast them over the fire. By the time the first batch was done, Hoseok and Jimin finally arrived and were greeted with shouts. They joined the jolly round busying themselves to some well-deserved dinner.
After you had devoured the sausages Hoseok whipped out a box containing some crackers, a bar of chocolate and a bag of marshmallows out of his backpack.
“Nothing better than some S’Mores when camping, am I right?”
Hoseok asked and handed the box around letting everybody grab some for themselves.
Jin nudged Taehyung in the shoulder who sat on his left and asked him to accompany him to his car. When they made their way back to the rest of the group, they were carrying bottles upon bottles of Soju.
“At the last wedding we catered for, those people ordered way too much alcohol and they refused to keep the leftover bottles so naturally I found a convenient solution to that problem and persuaded my boss to leave the good stuff to me. Not even he can resist my charms I assume.”
Jin told you and overall cheers complimented him.
“Awesome Jin, you working at a restaurant really has its perks.”
You said approvingly and happily accepted the bottle of peach flavoured Soju Taehyung handed you over.
While the supply of Soju slowly shrunk and the pile of empty bottles grew, your mood became more light-hearted over time and you all reminisced in the memories you had made over the years. Slowly but steady the sun set and it got darker. When the glowing red ball of light had finally disappeared completely behind the horizon Jimin and Hoseok declared that they were tired and proceeded to get ready for bed.
“That dance performance really makes itself felt now. Maybe I have to admit that I’m getting older.”
“Don’t worry Hobi, it took a toll on me as well. But at least we know we gave it our all.”
Jimin said and stifled a yawn. The two headed to the cabin at the edge of the clearing that contained a rather humble bathroom but at least it offered a tank of fresh water so that was something.
Gradually one after the other decided to go hit the hay and bid the remaining few people goodnight. When only Namjoon, Jungkook and yourself were left sitting around the fire, the three of you decided to play a drinking game resulting in Jungkook getting so drunk that he had to throw up. Namjoon hurried towards the bathroom in the cabin to get some water while you comforted Jungkook. You grabbed a napkin and wet it with the fresh water Namjoon had brought back and began cleaning around Jungkook’s mouth wiping the nasty residue from his face. Unfortunately, a lot had already dribbled down onto his shirt.
“I think you should get that thing off. We can wash it tomorrow but for now just change into a fresh shirt.”
You said to Jungkook and helped him out of the soiled piece of clothing. Jungkook who couldn’t control the movements of his limbs properly, let his right arm snap back after retreating from the sleeve of his shirt resulting in hitting the container of water Namjoon was still holding. A splash and Namjoon had gotten the majority of water over his chest. Cursing he let the now empty container fall to the ground. Namjoon tried to wipe some of the water off his body but it was useless, he was drenched. You laughed at the sight. It reminded you of a puppy who had just received an unwanted shower.
“We should get you to your tent so you can rest. Do you feel a bit better now?”
You asked Jungkook and he nodded. Namjoon helped you escort Jungkook to the tent he was sharing with Jin and made sure he got in alright, closing the entrance behind him.
Back at the fireplace, Namjoon stood by the flames as near as possible trying to get them to dry his shirt but the fire had already died down significantly so it didn’t really work. Resigning, he lifted the wet fabric above his head and threw it next to himself on the log. You couldn’t help but give him a sneaky glance. You had always thought of Namjoon as really handsome but something about him revealing his wet chest so shamelessly to you hit different.
“Do you wanna stay up or go to sleep as well?”
Namjoon asked and caught you off-guard in the act of looking him up and down, your eyes lingering on his chest a little longer than necessary. Flustered you directed your eyes away and shook your head.
“No, I wanna stay up, I want to enjoy this as much as possible.”
“You talking about my body or the night in general?”
Namjoon joked and you secretly asked yourself the same question. You proceeded to grab one of the last bottles of Soju and took a sip so you had an excuse not to answer.
“Want one as well?”
You asked and seeing him nodding, you handed him one of the bottles. After the first gulp he scrunched his nose looking appalled. Checking the label, he felt his worst suspicions confirmed.
“You gave me one of the flavour-less ones! What do you take me for – an animal? What have I done to you to deserve such torture?”
You laughed feeling not as sorry as you maybe should have as Namjoon looked really funny being so disgusted by his beverage.
“Sorry, I couldn’t see well and just picked the one nearest. Want a different one?”
You took a close look at the three remaining Soju bottles and gave Namjoon an apologetic smile.
“I’m afraid they are all plain as well. Seems like I got lucky and picked the last grape flavoured one.”
“So that’s what I get for trusting you. I feel betrayed.”
“Um do you wanna share mine? I don’t mind, I’ve had enough alcohol anyway.”
You offered your bottle to Namjoon and he didn’t hesitate to take it, chucking his own bottle away. How could he turn down such an offer when it appeared so temptingly? Taking turns emptying the drink, you sat in comfortable silence just listening to the occasional sound of the woodland creatures nearby and gazing up at the night sky. Here in the middle of the forest without all the street lights and neon signs lighting up the night, the stars were clearly visible and shone bright and clear. You loved the night sky, so naturally you were gazing upwards totally lost in the twinkling lights of the millions of stars.
You didn’t notice the lingering eyes of Namjoon who was admiring how the moonlight illuminated your silhouette. When exactly he had caught feelings for you, he wasn’t quite sure. All he knew was that it somehow happened and when he finally came to terms with that, he was already crushing hard and even though there had been the occasional teasing and ambiguous situation he still didn’t think there was more to it than just that. You had been friends for ages so anything beyond that was surely out of the question, right? Therefore, he hadn’t given it much thought but the way you had looked at him when he took off his shirt didn’t go unnoticed and Namjoon couldn’t help but wonder if there was a possibility that he wasn’t the only one who had developed a crush over the years.
“Do you ever wonder why we are here on this earth?”
Namjoon was pulled out of his thoughts by the sudden question. You looked at him and continued your philosophical train of thought.
“I mean look, there are so many stars and planets up there. Why out of all places do we exist on this one? And think about it… The moon and the stars are so far away but we still see them. They are so huge we can actually see them from here. Isn’t that amazing?”
Before Namjoon could answer you rambled on.
“And we are so small. We are so small, Joon, why are we so small? So insignificant? The stars shine so bright even after they had died but we are just dead, just rotting. Why do I even bother accomplishing anything when in the end it means nothing and everyone will forget that I even existed?”
You finished and stared at Namjoon. The sight of you looking so desperate and sad devastated him.
“Y/N… That’s not true and you know it. You are so loved by your family and your friends. You could never be insignificant and of course the people around you will remember you. Please stop thinking so lowly of yourself, I can assure you, you don’t have to worry about that.”
“Th-thank you… I suppose I had to much Soju, I’m sorry you had to witness me spiralling into another existential crisis.”
“Don’t be sorry, that’s what friends are for, right?”
“Yeah… friends.”
You mumbled and looked up at Namjoon. Your eyes met, holding the gaze for a bit longer than expected before Namjoon cleared his throat.
“So, do you wanna go to bed? It’s getting quite late.”
“Hmhm yeah it’s getting colder, as well, now that the fire went out.”
You shivered suddenly at the cold air of the night, missing the warmth the fire had provided. Namjoon stood up and checked the fireplace to make sure it was really gone out so you wouldn’t accidentally set the whole forest on fire while you slept. You collected the remaining bottles that were scattered around the firepit and added them to the already remarkably high pile of bottles you had all emptied together. Finding the way to your tent turned out to be a lot more difficult, now that it was almost pitch black. You stumbled over a root that was sticking out of the ground and could only save yourself from falling by gripping onto Namjoon’s wrist tightly. He swayed back at the sudden weight pulling on his arm but managed to steady himself in time.
“Are you alright?”
Namjoon asked concerned and turned around. You were still holding onto his wrist but had found your balance again. When you let go of his arm Namjoon held his hand out to you.
“Wouldn’t want for you to trip again. Really, why don’t you wear your glasses more often? Couldn’t read the label on the Soju bottle, couldn’t see that big root. Honestly I’m surprised you managed to survive without getting into any serious accidents yet.”
“Come on it’s not that bad. And I hate my glasses, I look stupid wearing them.”
You scoffed. You hated your glasses with a burning passion but were too lazy to go get new ones that you would actually consider wearing.
“You don’t, you look cute with them and not stupid, at all, but if you prefer to stumble through life like a mole squinting at everything then suit yourself, I guess.”
“Thanks, I will. Besides, I wouldn’t want to miss out on the chance of being escorted to my humble sleeping accommodation by my chivalrous saviour now, would I?”
You said cheerfully and took Namjoon’s hand. You continued the short walk towards your tent. When you’d reached it, you opened the zipper and crawled inside and Namjoon followed you straight. Leaving your shoes in front of the entrance you slipped out of your pants. You made yourself comfortable in your sleeping bag while Namjoon rid himself off his jeans and tucked himself into his sleeping bag as well.
“Joon, can you hand me the water bottle? I feel like a raisin, all that Soju dried me out beyond measure.”
Namjoon felt his way through the items popped into one corner until he found the requested bottle.
You took it and quenched your thirst, downing almost half of the bottle in one go.
“Hey, leave me some okay? You’re not the only one who’s thirsty.”
You reluctantly stopped gulping down the water and held the bottle out in the direction of Namjoon. Since it was almost completely dark inside the tent, Namjoon had problems to make out the bottle causing him to hit it with the back of his hand. With a shriek from you the bottle flew out of your hand and landed on your legs, letting the water flow all over your sleeping bag.
“Y/N I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! Did you get wet, is it bad?”
Namjoon apologized and pat his hand over your sleeping bag to see how badly he had fucked up but all you could do was laugh, being already so used to his clumsiness.
“It’s okay, really. But I won’t be able to sleep in that thing, it’s soaked and it’s getting cold tonight.”
“No worries, you can sleep in mine. It’s my fault that yours is wet, after all, so that’s only fair.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, you’ll be freezing.”
“I won’t, I can stand the cold better than you, so just take mine and go to sleep.”
In the end you didn’t want to argue and the thought of sleeping without a cover wasn’t that enticing either, so you just got out of your wet bag and threw it out of the tent. When you wiggled into Namjoon’s sleeping bag which was a lot more spacious than yours and conveniently was already preheated by Namjoon. You felt the overpowering fatigue that set in and quickly slipped into unconsciousness.
After a while, you woke up at the sound of teeth chattering. You turned around only to see Namjoon laying curled up into a ball and shivering.
“S-sorry, did I wake you up?”
“What the fuck do you think you are doing? Do you want to freeze to death?”
“It’s f-fine, don’t worry. Just get back to sleep.”
“Fine my ass. Do I look stupid to you? Come here, your sleeping bag is a lot bigger than mine. We might have to squeeze a bit but I think we can both fit.”
You opened the zipper and shuffled towards Namjoon. When he had squeezed himself in, he tried to close the sleeping bag but it was no use.
“Doesn’t matter, just leave it open. It’s better than nothing isn’t it?”
You said and Namjoon turned around only now realizing just how close you were.
“God, how are you not frozen solid yet, you are ice-cold!”
“Not everyone can be as hot as you.”
You let out a small chuckle and pressed yourself closer to Namjoon’s body, making yourself comfortable as the little spoon.
“Then I’ll try to make you hot, as well, lying beside a fucking block of ice truly is no fun.”
Namjoon thought you had no idea how right you had been about making him hot. While the two of you had occasionally cuddled during movie nights at the dorm, nothing came close to just how close you were now with nothing between you, except for your underwear and your shirt. With you next to him and the added warmth of the sleeping bag around, Namjoon started to defrost and soon he was engulfed in the warm feeling, ready to fall asleep but he was too aware of your body pressed into him. It really wasn’t necessary for you to push your ass that far into his groin, he thought. It was almost as if you were doing that on purpose just to drive him crazy. But maybe he was misinterpreting everything and he would make a fool out of himself.
As if on cue Namjoon felt you move your body just a bit, letting yourself grind into him slightly. Throwing all caution over board he put his arm around your waist pulling you even closer and letting his hand rest on your stomach. You let out a satisfied sigh and proceeded to move yourself against him. The friction had its effects on Namjoon who noticed himself hardening, very aware that you must feel it too since his boxers barely concealed anything. You however, were finally content that your actions bore fruit. You had been sure of the potential that lay in yourself and Namjoon to be more than just friends and you were determined to find out if you were right about that during this camping trip. Sharing a tent was the best opportunity you could have wished for and considering the very noticeable bulge you felt being pressed into your back from behind you had been right with your assumptions.
“You feel much warmer already.”
“Mhh, you are helping a lot with that.”
“I think I noticed. Good to know I can be of assistance. It’s getting quite hot in here, don’t you think?”
You said and took off your shirt to throw it to your feet. You then turned over now facing Namjoon. He was taken aback by this sudden change and could feel your breath on his bare chest. You placed your hand onto his stomach and slowly progressed to explore his toned body.
“How exactly do you think this is helping us to cool down?”
Namjoon asked, sucking in his breath when you let your fingernails graze the side of his upper body.
“When did I say I wanted to cool down?”
You asked quietly, tilting your head up so you could meet his gaze. This was enough to convince Namjoon that he was allowed to act upon his feelings. He let his hand rest at the back of your head and leaned forward until your lips finally collided. He pulled you closer to himself and you wrapped your arms around his torso. The kiss became more heated and Namjoon let his tongue poke through his lips so you parted yours to let it in. When you had to let go of each other to be able to breathe again Namjoon stared at you, having to process for a moment if this was actually happening. With a huge grin you threw yourself onto him again to continue the kiss. Namjoon’s hands wandered up and down your back brushing against the straps of your bra. You felt his finger hesitate on the hooks of your bra.
“Go on – open it.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, oh my god, do you need a written declaration of consent?”
You giggled at how considerate he was being.
“Just wanted to make sure so you won’t hold it against me later.”
He smirked and with one move of his fingers he had opened the bra and pulled it away from underneath your body. Within seconds you found yourself turned over so you were laying on your back with Namjoon on top of you. With one hand he propped himself up to not crush you completely while his other hand immediately found its way to your breasts. Namjoon kissed you once more before he let his mouth trail down your chin and neck leaving hot kisses on your skin. You had closed your eyes revelling in the addictive feeling when you felt a sudden burst of pain shooting up from your breasts causing you to let out a surprised moan. Namjoon had pinched your right nipple with the hand he was using to massage your boobs. You opened your eyes in shock and found Namjoon smiling mischievously up at you. He had been keeping his eyes on you to observe how you reacted to his actions and was visibly enjoying himself. Letting his hand travel down to your stomach resulted in his face being conveniently positioned exactly over your breasts so he didn’t hesitate and began to caress them with his lips. Namjoon sucking on your tits while simultaneously exploring your still covered pubic area with his free hand had you aroused in no time and you could already feel your panties getting soaked from the movements of his hand, which Namjoon also didn’t fail to notice.
“Seems like you can get me wet in more than one way.”
You said referring to the accident earlier and Namjoon couldn’t refrain from laughing causing his body to vibrate which let his fingers move against your crotch in a delightful manner.
“Well, I know which way I prefer.”
Namjoon said when you let out another moan. He hooked his finger into your panties and pulled them down, so you lay before him completely undressed. His hands caressed your thighs for a bit until he put light pressure onto them to spread them open for him to kneel in-between. You suddenly felt the imbalance in your levels of being undressed, so you sat up catching Namjoon’s lips in a needy kiss while letting your hands palm his hardened length through his boxers for a moment before pushing the unnecessary piece of clothing down his legs so both of you were equally nude. Namjoon pushed you back to lay down again and you obliged. He let his one hand return to your breasts while the fingers of his other hand slid through your slick folds.
You didn’t want him to feel neglected and reached down so you could wrap one of your hands around Namjoon’s dick. Though your grip was only light, Namjoon let out a groan of pleasure at the sudden sensation. Encouraged by his response you slid your hand up and down his shaft and let your thumb graze over his tip every other time using the leaking drops of pre-cum to lube his length up. Namjoon stopped moving his fingers through your folds only to enter you with one finger a moment later. You let out a quiet mewl at the unexpected sensation. You kept your gaze on him, mesmerized at how Namjoon had closed his eyes and thrown his head back in pleasure when you had sped up your movements on his dick.
“God, Y/N, that feels so fucking good.”
Namjoon said letting out a sharp breath when you grazed his tip another time. Keeping up the pace Namjoon had set pushing in and out of your wetness he soon added a second finger. You whined at the delicious feeling and started speeding up jerking off Namjoon. When you felt the movements of his fingers getting unsteady you stopped only for Namjoon to shoot you a questioning look.
“Don’t give me that face. I don’t want you to finish now when the real fun hasn’t even started yet.”
You said and raised one of your eyebrows teasingly.
“But I don’t have any condoms with me. Do you?”
“Don’t worry, I’m on birth control, don’t you remember?”
“So, you are sure you want this?”
“Jesus, Namjoon, just fuck me already.”
You laughed, a little desperate by now.
Namjoon let out a low growl, your words being music in his ears. He moved his body back up to lay down next to you and involved you in another steaming kiss. Namjoon grabbed you by your waist and helped you get up. Straddling him, you sat on top of him and bowed down to kiss him again. He lifted your hips just a bit so he could position himself properly. With a last look into your eyes he lowered you down letting himself enter you slowly. You gasped at the wonderful sensation.
When Namjoon had pushed his length completely into you he held still for a moment to let you get accustomed to his size before he started moving your hips back and forth. When you began moving your hips yourself, with your hands placed on his chest for support, Namjoon moved his hands from your hips to your chest. Setting a steady pace, you began riding Namjoon, totally lost in the pleasure and Namjoon thought he had never seen you look more beautiful. He continued to massage your breasts and pinch your nipples occasionally which caused you to feel the familiar knot form in your stomach.
“Fuck, Joon, I’m close.”
You gasped out between moans and dug your nails into his chest. Namjoon felt himself near his orgasm as well but he was determined to finish second. He held onto your hips again and lifted you just a bit so he could thrust his hips into you from below giving you the chance to let yourself go completely.
“Don’t hold back, baby. I want you to come all over my dick.”
These words combined with Namjoon thrusting into you was enough to send you over the edge. Letting the waves of hot pleasure roll over you, you came undone moaning Namjoon’s name. Seeing your face of pure ecstasy and hearing his name come out of your mouth did it for Namjoon and he let his orgasm overwhelm him.
Panting, you both came down from your orgasms. You let Namjoon’s dick slide out of you so you could lay down again besides him. Smiling at each other like complete idiots you tried to catch your breath.
“I can’t believe it took so long for this to happen.”
“Well. I didn’t think it would happen at all. I thought you’d never see me as more than a friend.”
Namjoon responded and you looked at him in disbelief.
“Are you serious?? Kim Namjoon, you might be a genius on paper but when it comes to flirting you suddenly lose all ability to think.”
You laughed and Namjoon joined you.
You noticed the tiredness starting to set in again so you cuddled up to Namjoon and closed your eyes. You felt Namjoon place a kiss on your forehead then drifted away with Namjoon falling asleep soon after.
In the morning, you woke up from the blinding sunlight flooding the tent and heating it up even further. With your eyes still closed, you went over the events of the previous night smiling to yourself. When you opened them, you stared into the brown eyes of Namjoon.
“Morning sleepyhead.”
Namjoon said and scrunched up his nose when you poked him in the stomach.
“You know it’s creepy to watch people sleep?”
“I’m sure you can make an exception?”
“Hmm, kiss me and I might think about it.”
You grinned and Namjoon happily did as told. Since the morning sun made it almost unbearable to stay inside the tent any longer, the two of you got dressed and you tied your dishevelled hair up into what you hoped would look like an intentionally messy bun. When you crawled out of the tent you saw Hobi, Jin and Yoongi already sitting around the fireplace having some sandwiches for breakfast. Upon joining the others, Namjoon and you were greeted with knowing looks.
“Ah, finally, the two night owls grace us with their presence.”
Hobi said jokingly.
“Did you sleep well?”
Yoongi asked with a cheeky smile while raising his eyebrows.
“Yeah, we somehow all woke up because of some suspicious noises in the middle of the night. You don’t think you know where they came from, by any chance?”
Jin continued amused.
Namjoon tried not to make eye contact with them and instead preceded to scratch himself at the back of his head.
“Ah come on, now you’re being shy? Last night you didn’t bother if someone could hear us.”
You said and slightly bumped Namjoon in the side with your elbow, earning laughter from the other boys.
“It’s still embarrassing...”
Namjoon mumbled but relaxed himself and grabbed one of the sandwiches Jin had held in his direction handing you the other one.
When Namjoon placed a quick kiss on your cheek before taking a bite off his sandwich you thought that this year’s camping trip was definitely going to be your favourite so far and the fun had just started.

5 times Isaac tried asking Scott out on a date and the 1 time he didn’t have to || Scisaac Week 2020
A 5+1 trope fanfic, written by yours truly, Tyler. Rating: General WC: 2412
You can also read it on my AO3
Summary:
Today is the day, Isaac will ask Scott out, nothing can absolutely go wrong, right?
Sunday
“So today is the day?” Erica said, jumping up to sit on the kitchen island.
“Yeah, I’m going to ask him today,” Isaac said, “I also found out his coffee order, so I can give him it while I ask.”
“He’ll say yes,” Erica said, taking an apple from the bowl of fruits.
“I hope he does-” he glances at the clock- “oh, it’s almost time, see you later, Erica.”
“You better spill the beans later, Lahey!” Erica shouted as Isaac closed the door.
Isaac runs to the coffee shop, hoping Scott would be coming on time and not a second early or late.
He enters the shop and scans the room for the half Latino boy. So far, his plan was going to plan. Isaac strolls up to the counter and orders Scott’s order that he had byhearted and his usual order. He pays and goes ahead to wait at the pick-up line.
As he takes the two coffees and turns around, he is met with Stiles.
“Stiles, uh, good morning?” Isaac said.
“You don’t usually come here,” Stiles said, cutting to the chase, “what are you doing here?”
“Oh, just you know, getting coffee for Scott, I was going to ask him something,” Isaac said, walking with Stiles to a table.
Isaac didn’t notice the small step and he stumbled to the floor, accidentally throwing the coffee in front of him. He hears someone groan in pain from the hot coffee and he looks up from the floor to find that he accidentally threw the two coffees in Scott’s direction.
“Oh no, Scott, I’m so sorry,” Isaac said quickly getting up from the ground.
Everyone in the store was staring, Isaac stood staring at the mess and Scott had coffee all over his jeans and shirt, Stiles just stood, speechless.
“It’s- It’s alright, you fell, you didn’t mean to douse me in coffee,” Scott said, “I should go get cleaned, these stains don’t get out easily if they dry.”
“I’m sorry, I completely ruined your shirt,” Isaac apologized again.
“Isaac, it’s fine, also,” Scott said, walking closer to Issac, “what was that you wanted to ask me?”
“Uh, nothing, I didn’t have anything to ask you,” Isaac said, his brain short-circuiting to ‘get-the-hell-out-of-there-mode’, “I have to go, I’m sorry, again, really. I am.”
Isaac quickly walked out of the shop and didn’t stop walking until he was in the loft. Erica was on the couch, lying down as she scrolled on her phone.
“So, whatever that went down did not go down to plan,” Erica said, looking up at Isaac sensing the huge amount of embarrassment and discontent from Isaac.
“I spilled coffee and I walked out of the shop like a bloody idiot!” Isaac said, pacing around the loft, fidgeting with his hands.
“Spilled coffee? I don’t see a stain on you?” Erica questioned.
“Not me, I spilled coffee on Scott, two hot coffee spilled all over him when I tripped!” Isaac ranted.
“Sucks to be you, I guess,” Erica said, going back to scrolling on her phone.
Isaac huffed and went to his room.
Monday
Isaac pondered up a way to ask Scott again. A little coffee mishap shouldn’t get in the way of the pursuit of his crush. Waking up to a disgruntled Boyd making pancakes for Erica at 4 am gave him the best idea.
As the sun rose up and got warmer, he went to Scott’s house as he still was living with his mom until the paperwork for the apartment would be complete.
He gets in with the spare key to the back door and started cooking up pancakes. This time, there was nothing to spill and surely nothing could go wrong.
He made 9 pancakes and used chocolate chips to spell ‘D A T E  W / M E ?’ on the pancakes, a letter on each of the pancakes. He sets them on the table and turns around to make two milkshakes for him and Scott.
Melissa walks into the room, ready for work.
“Hey, Sco-” Melissa stopped, realizing it was Isaac, “Isaac, you’re here early, how did you get in?”
“Back door,” Isaac said, concentrating on making the milkshakes.
“Ooo, pancakes! Fine if I take one?” Melissa asked.
Isaac subconsciously nodded and Melissa takes three and heads off to work. He finishes up the milkshakes and turns around to see that the previous ‘Date W/Me?’ pancakes now spell, ‘A T E W E ?’
He couldn’t do anything but stare at the pancakes as he heard Scott come down the stairs.
“Morning, Isaac, whatcha got there?” Scott said.
“Uhhh,” Isaac stammered.
“Ooo, pancakes and milkshakes, thanks!” Scott said taking one pancake and biting into it.
Scott looks up at Isaac who looked like he was going through a software update, “you alright?”
“Just peachy, I’m going to go now,” Isaac said as he quickly left the house, with another failed attempt under his belt.
*
Back at the loft, Isaac told Erica and Boyd what happened and all they did was laugh.
“Atewe? ATEWE?” Erica howled through her laughs.
“Yep, that’s what it said, I’m just going to hide in my room now,” Isaac said.
Even if Isaac closed the door to his room, he still heard Erica’s howls of laughs echoing through the hallways from the living room.
Tuesday
Today was going to be different, Isaac knew it. He was going to walk over to Scott’s house and just say it straight to his face. Nothing could ever go wrong with words and Tuesdays were his lucky days. It was a new day and Isaac psyched himself up.
“So, Scott’s petsitting Fluffy today,” Erica said at the breakfast table.
“Fluffy?” Isaac asked.
“Yeah, Stiles’ pet, fluffy,” Boyd said.
‘Huh, must be a dog like Prada or something,’ Isaac thought, ‘a dog can’t get in the way of my plan, they can’t. They’re a dog!’
“Oh,” Isaac mumbled.
After breakfast, he marched up to Scott’s house and Stiles was on the driveway, starting his jeep up.
“Hey Isaac, bye Isaac!” he said, poking his head out his jeep as he drove off the driveway.
Isaac nodded and continued his way up and into Scott’s house.
“Ok, Scott, I have been wanting to ask you this ever since Sunday, well actually ever since ever and-” Isaac stopped as he looked up to Scott.
“Yes?” Scott said, putting what Isaac assumed was fluffy down in its cage.
“Is that fluffy?” Isaac gasped.
“Yeah, you don’t have anything against boas, right?” Scott said.
“He named his boa constrictor, fluffy?” Isaac said, feeling uneasy being this close to his phobia.
“Yes, so, what is that you wanted to tell me?” Scott asked.
“N-nothing, I have to go do something with Boyd,” Isaac said, walking out the door.
*
“You didn’t tell me fluffy was a boa!” Isaac screamed as soon as he entered the loft.
Erica and Boyd snickered.
“You’re scared of snakes, why would I tell you?” Erica said.
“Boyd! Why are you siding with her shenanigans?!” Isaac asked.
“It’s hilarious!” Boyd said through fits of giggles.
“You guys are the worst!” Isaac sighed.
“Love you too, babe!” Erica said, sending kisses in the air for fun.
Isaac rolled his eyes and went to shake his mind off with a good nature document.
Wednesday
It’s a cloudy day, but if it’s expressed in nature, it’s not hard to miss right? He walks up to the McCall household once again and Melissa was inside.
“Oh, hey Isaac, Scott’s gone to get groceries, he’ll be back in a while,” Melissa said.
“Good, I’m going to borrow your front lawn and the garden pebbles, if that’s okay with you?” Isaac said.
“That’s fine with me, not that I use either of them often,” Melissa replied.
“Thanks,” Isaac said, heading back outside.
Using the garden pebbles, he wrote out once again, ‘Date w/me?’ on the front lawn. It wasn’t nature-nature, but grass and stones are pretty nature-y.
As Scott rolls up in the car with the groceries, Isaac straightened himself up and got ready.
“Oh, Isaac, um, hi again?” Scott said, getting out of the car and opening the trunk.
“Once you put the groceries in, could you step out here?” Isaac asked.
“Yeah, sure,” Scott said, holding all the bags and heading inside.
As he waited outside, the cloudy day quickly became thunderous in a second. The hard rain and wind blew away the rocks, deforming his hard work and all he could do was run inside the house.
Isaac internally groaned as it was yet another failed attempt. He didn’t say anything to Scott while he was there, he was too agitated to speak.
When the rain thinned out, he threaded back to his loft, and his face explained everything to Erica and Boyd.
Thursday
The alarm blared shaking Isaac awake from his dream, he slams it to shut it off, “Scott was about to kiss me and you wake me the fuck up?” he gruffed.
He got up and ate breakfast, three days in a row, his plans have been foiled. Maybe it was time to ask the internet for a foolproof way.
“Roses, balloons, and park at sunset, is that a foolproof way to ask someone on a date?” Isaac asked for the opinion of his packmate.
“That’s basically a date isn’t it?” Boyd said.
“Scott isn’t that oblivious, so yeah, you have my blessing, child,” Erica said, slapping the back of Isaac’s head as she walked in the kitchen.
“Ow, Erica!” Isaac said, touching the back of his head.
“Oh, I just love it when my name is said in vain!” Erica said, sliding up onto the kitchen island.
“You’re such an idiot,” Isaac muttered.
“Hey, at least I’m Boyd’s, he loves his idiot right?” Erica batted her eyes at Boyd who grinned and nodded in return.
*
It was nearing sunset, Boyd was at the park holding his balloon and flower while Isaac made Scott ride with him to the park.
They get off and Boyd hands Isaac the flower and balloon and Scott had a mix of certainty and confusion on his face.
“Scott, please let this not get foiled like the past few days. All I’ve been wanting to say is that-”
Isaac stopped seeing Scott’s eye grow wide and his jaw drop.
“Scott? You okay?” Isaac asked.
“My bike!” Scott said, after squinting his eyes to whatever was behind Isaac.
He takes off as Isaac turns around and sees Scott’s motorcycle that they came on being towed.
Boyd walks closer to Isaac and they watch Scott retrieve the bike.
“He’s oblivious to a T,” Boyd said.
Isaac sighs and walks away, his head hanging low, as he held the rose and balloon.
Friday
“I swear, I am going to rip my hair out from this!” Stiles said to Scott.
“From what?” Scott asked.
“You and Isaac, literally, are you brain dead? Are you?!” Stiles said.
“Stiles, what do you mean? What are you talking about?” Scott asked.
“You really have no idea, don’t you,” Stiles said, not really asking for an answer.
“What?” Scott asked.
“You love Isaac and Issac loves you too, he’s been trying to ask you out all week! Ever since Sunday!” Stiles said, “but you, my best friend, Scott, Scottie, the True Alpha, have been completely oblivious to his attempts!”
“He likes me?” Scott gasped.
“YES!” Stiles shouted, “and Boyd called me today, he said that Isaac hadn’t come out of his room today.”
“Oh, it’s my fault isn’t it?” Scott said, feeling guilty.
“Absolutely, now go, bring him to the lookout point in the preserve,” Stiles said, quickly running out the room.
Scott goes out on to his bike and rides to the loft. He is met with a grumpy Derek who opened the door.
“Derek, grumpy as usual,” Scott said, giving a small smile.
“You caused this,” Derek muttered but let Scott in.
Scott walks in and goes to Isaac’s room. It was dark but with the light coming in from the hallway, he saw the boy wrapped in blankets watching national geographic documents.
“Go away, Scott,” Issac uttered.
“No, I came here to ask you something,” Scott said, going closer to Isaac.
“What?” Isaac asked.
“Would you, Isaac Lahey want to go on a date with me?” Scott asked.
“That’s what I’ve been trying to do for the past 5 days,” Isaac said.
“I know, and I’ve been an idiot by being so blunt to your attempts,” Scott said, “I’m sorry.”
“I would actually love to go on that date with you, isn’t it too late though? It’s 6 in the evening,” Isaac asked.
“It’s never too late if I get to spend time with you,” Scott said, inching closer to Isaac who sat upon his bed, “I really want to kiss you right now.”
“Then kiss me,” Isaac murmured, their lips brushing against each other.
Scott cups Isaac’s face as their lips moved in sync. Scott softly sucked on Isaac’s bottom lip, and Isaac shuddered from the goosebumps going up against his spine. He had been intensely craving Scott’s touch and know that he was finally getting it, his heart fluttered and he felt whole.
Scott and Isaac move away as they huffed breathlessly. Scott had a smile curling on his face and Isaac couldn’t help but imitate it but 10 times bigger.
“C’mon, we gotta go to that date,” Scott said, getting up the bed and holding a hand out for Isaac.
Isaac gladly holds Scott’s hand and he stands up from his bed. Scott gave Isaac some time to change and he comes out to go on the late evening date with Scott.
Erica, Boyd, and Derek watched the two lovers head out, they were finally satisfied that it was worked out.
Scott and Isaac ride to the lookout point where Stiles had set up the mood with a picnic. Candles, sandwiches, and the whole nine yards with romance.
“Wow, this is nice,” Isaac said.
“Yeah, it is,” Scott said, as he held Isaac’s hand and walked with him to the picnic.
They sit down, share sandwiches, and stare at the sunset whilst cuddling in each other’s arms.
“Scott?” Isaac said, looking up at him.
“Hm?” Scott hummed, making eye contact as he stroked the boy’s blonde locks.
“I love you, more than it can be measured,” Isaac said.
“I love you too, Isaac, I love you a lot,” Scott replied, pressing a small kiss on Isaac’s forehead.

The Way of Time (Rdr2 fanfic) - Chapter 1 (2/4)
Hey there! Yesterday was Thanksgiving! 
For a simple Italian girl this holiday seems so strange and exotic to me and I have never seen a whole turkey in all my life (not IRL anyway). I hope it was a good day for all the American people around here!
Tumblr media
Part 1 here: https://fedeipox.tumblr.com/post/635776269297008640/the-way-of-time-rdr2-fanfic-chapter-1-14
Words: 2,5k
Chapter 1 (2/4) - What year is it?
A warmer place, that was all she could think about and if the price to pay to reach it was telling them her name, she was more than willing to pay it.
“I’m Dutch Van der Linde, Miss Emily, and these are my men” said the picnic-man pointing at the people walking around them. “I must warn you, we are outlaws.”
She knew it! She thought looking at him with her eyes wide open.
“Oh, don’t worry, we won’t touch a hair on your head. You see, we’re criminals, but we’re not bad men. Not when we can avoid it.”
Weren’t they the same men who just robbed a train? How could they be criminals without being bad? It was a contradiction. She fixed her eyes on the ground as they kept walking, thinking about the nonsense that man was saying.
“You’ll ride with Lenny.”  
Just when she lifted her gaze she understood what he was talking about. Right in front of her there were around three thousand pounds of well kept horse meat, including saddles, bits and stirrups. 
They rode horses? In 2020? They were really old style criminals those ones, but she… she had never rode a horse. She didn’t know where to start. She didn’t even like horses. 
It wasn’t something personal, but since her father told her horses were dangerous animals she had always been afraid of them. They were dangerous under all aspects, he had told her: they had big teeth and powerful jaws that could cut your fingers with just one bite; they had four strong legs which they used to kick you if you went too close to them; they were big, but they were unaware of their force and got scared pretty easily and could throw you away from their backs any moment.
No. In no way they could have convinced her to get on one of those things.
“Don’t you have a car?” she asked.
Dutch looked back at her with a perplexed expression. 
“You know something less… alive?” she added nodding towards the animals.
“Don’t worry, Lenny is an excellent rider” said Dutch.
“It’s not him I’m worried about” she murmured taking a few steps in the direction of the boy of color. 
He was next to one of the horses, petting its neck and whispering soothing words to it.
“Her name’s Maggie” he informed her when she reached him.
Her eyes moved upon the strong muscular neck of that creature, then down its leg until she reached the hoof that it was nervously stomping on the ground, and then up again until she met its crazy bloody eyes that the creature pointed on her. That thing was warning her, it was telling her “if you only try to touch me, I’ll show you how hell it’s done”. 
No, she would have found another way, a bike, a moped, on foot, she didn’t care. 
Lenny raised a leg, put the foot on the stirrup and hoisted himself, sitting perfectly on the top of that dangerous killing machine. 
“Now your turn, Miss. I’ll help you” he said reaching out a hand signing her to take it.
Emily, without moving her eyes from the boy’s face, shook her head with conviction. 
“I’ll help you, lady” said a voice from behind her back and a moment after she felt herself being lifted from the ground by two robust hands and pushed towards the horse. 
Even though the last thing she wanted was to mount on a horse, as an instinct she grabbed Lenny’s arm and sat astride on its back. They gave her no time to get used to the new sensation she was proving. Someone, who she thought to be Dutch the boss, yelled “let’s ride” and she had to clutch around Lenny’s waist not to fall back. 
Emily tightened the blanket around her shoulders with one hand while with the other she didn’t dare let Lenny go. She had to admit, it wasn’t such a bad experience: apart from the constant up and down it was very similar to riding a motorbike; she just had to clench her legs around the beast and her arms around the boy’s waist. 
As they kept going, she felt the temperature of the evening air drop and that was the sign that they were taking her to a higher ground, up and up in the mountains. Just now she was understanding why nobody had heard neither the gunfire nor the explosion: they were in the mountains and, even though she wasn’t very good with geography, she could still tell that the mountains covered with snow in May had to be somewhere in the North. Only, she had no idea how much North, nor how she got there.
She lost track of time, she couldn’t tell anymore how long she had been on the back of that horse, moving her eyes from the sky to the earth, both of the same bluish white that made the landscape look all the same. The only thing that changed during the journey, and that could give her any idea of what part of the day it was, was the light: all around her darkness was falling and soon she wouldn’t be able to see the tip of her nose.
Besides, the boredom was forcing her to focus on something else, like her frostbitten fingertips, her feet inside her soaked snickers, the smell of the ass of that horse. Yes, she hadn’t noticed that before, but that horse really stank. 
Something else that she hadn’t noticed was that they weren’t following any road, or if there was a road, it was completely overwhelmed by the snow. That was strange, too. What state was capable to neglect the safety of its citizens in such a way to leave the roads in that condition?
“We’re almost there, Miss. We're camped a little more North, in an old mining town” said Dutch.
Old mining town. Was he talking about one of those towns of the past which afterward developed into industrial or trade cities? Why couldn’t he just say ‘we have a hotel room in the city’? Why they had to play all that trivia game about “old mining towns” and “camps”? Was it some kind of gang slang?
But when they slowed the horses down, that meant they had reached the “camp”, what she saw made her understand they weren’t making a wordplay: what she was looking at was a true old mining town, and as they got to the entrance, on a wooden sign almost completely hidden by the darkness, it was engraved: “Colter”.
“You can get down, Miss” said Lenny turning to look at her as they all stopped the horses.
Emily looked first at the boy’s face and then at the ground. It was covered with snow and jumping down she would have dipped down till her knees. 
Next to her there was another one of those strange criminals: he had an old style bowler hat, a ridiculous parted thin black mustache and he had just dismounted his horse.
“Can you help me?” she asked reaching out a hand in his direction.
He looked at her like she was asking him to bring her to the moon, but after a moment of obvious confusion he said “sure” and walked closer, taking her from her waist and helping her to get down gently.
“Miss Grimshaw, we found this girl on the train, would you warm her up a little and find her a place to sleep?” she heard Dutch’s voice saying.
...
“Ah, another one?” asked Miss Grimshaw looking at the blonde skinny figure who just dismounted the horse.
This was the second woman Dutch brought in in those last few days, without counting the O’Driscoll, who they weren’t going to feed anyway, but he still was an addition to the group.
“She says she’s been kidnapped” answered Dutch.
With a sigh and a gesture of her head she told him she would have provided for her, just like she had done for Mrs. Adler.
“Come with me, Miss. Let’s get you warm” she addressed the girl.
Rising her lantern a little, so to spread the light even  farther, she observed the girl as she walked in her direction, stumbling in the high snow and tightening the blanket on her chest, under which she could still make out those unusual clothes. Together they reached the main shack, where some minutes before she had left Marston’s bedside to rush out when Mary-Beth informed her of their arrival. 
“Here” she said pushing the rickety door that let them both inside the crowded room.
“There’s the fire, so you can get warm” she said pointing at it and closing the door again to avoid that little heat inside the room to go away.
“Miss Jackson will bring you some dry clothes” she added putting out the fire of the lantern.
“No” she heard the newbie saying and she turned around to look at her.
Tilly froze in her place, with her legs still half bended in the act of standing up, hoping that the girl’s objection would have changed Miss Grimshaw’s mind, so that she didn’t have to walk out of the room and face the snow, the cold and the darkness.
Everybody now was studying that odd figure standing in the center of the room and looking around her like she was in some kind of bad dream: she was terrified, but they couldn’t understand why. 
They had saved her, they were giving her a warm place to stay for the night and probably some food too, so why was she afraid? She should have been grateful, thought Karen frowning at her.
“Sorry, but… what year is it?”
...
Emily kept moving her eyes around her, focusing on the long wide skirts of the women, the hats of the men and the overall look of the people around her. Her nose caught all the shades of the moldy planks of the walls, the burning wood in the fireplace and the smell of badly washed bodies. 
The clothes, the locomotive, the explosives, the horses, the old mining town, the camp. Why didn’t she think to ask it before? It seemed impossible, but at the same time it was the only possible explanation. She just had to put two and two together.
At her question they all exchanged some puzzled looks. 
“It’s the year of our Lord 1899, what a question!” answered a male voice behind her making her turn around.
There were four men in the room: one, who seemed to have had some kind of accident, was asleep on a cot; one, with a pair of tiny glasses and a rat face, had his nose buried in a book; one with a reddish mustache, had his dark eyes lost in the air; and the last one, an old man with a white beard which made him look like a Santa Clause wannabe, was the only one looking at her, so Emily supposed that voice belonged to him.
“1899” she whispered analyzing the man’s face to understand if he was making fun of her. He seemed dead serious and so did everybody else in the room. 
That explained why she was there: she had made a jump in time and, unfortunately for her, she must have arrived inside that train, which brought her away from Saint Denis and right in the hands of those criminals. 
1899. It was one hundred and twenty one years before. What a strange number, 121. She always thought time leaps happened with round numbers: 100, 200, 300. Actually, she thought time leaps only happened in the movies, sci-fi movies, like “Back to the Future”. 
Now what? She should have told them? They would have probably thought she was nuts. But how could she explain her situation? How could they help her? 
She froze: no-one could help her, because in 1899 no-one had the slight idea of how to make a jump in time. What was she thinking about! She hadn’t any idea of how to make a jump in time, either! Because it was impossible! 
She was starting to panic. She was stuck in 1899, in the middle of nowhere, with a bunch of dangerous outlaws and she probably would have never go back to her home, her family and her friends. So, what was she going to do?
Her heavy breath and her wide open eyes caught the attention of the people in the room.
“Are you okay, honey? You want to sit down?” asked a woman with red air and an Irish accent taking a step in her direction and putting a hand on her shoulder.
Emily moved quickly away from her when she felt her touch. 
“Sit by the fire, we’ll get you something to eat” she added.
Eat… 
She fixed her eyes on her freckled face.
“Fuck the fire, fuck the food and fuck you!” yelled Emily slapping her hand away.
Now the woman’s look changed, she didn’t take those words too good, but she couldn’t care less. Emily started pacing the little space inside the room which wasn’t occupied by a table a chair or a person. She was definitely panicking and she knew she wasn’t good at controlling herself. 
She had lost everything, everything! Her job, her family, her friends, her life, her future, everything! It was all gone! What was she supposed to do? Her limbs started to feel heavy and her eyes started to fill with tears. 
“Don’t worry, you are safe in here, no-one is going to hurt you” said someone, but she didn’t focus on the person who pronounced the words. 
They couldn’t understand, no-one could understand what she was feeling in that moment. Everything was fucked up, gone to hell, destroyed, vanished from the world, forever. No. No, that couldn’t be real. It was a joke, a bad joke someone was making to piss her off, and it was working. 
“You!” she snapped pointing her finger to the face of one of the women in the room.
“What year is it! And don’t you try telling me a lie, I want the truth” she said with a high pitched tone, the kind of voice she had when she was nervous, stressed, scared or any other moment of non-calmness.
“We already told you, it’s 1899, so calm the hell down and don’t point that finger to me” answered the girl.
Emily groaned with frustration and turned to look at the door. She had to get out of there, reach Saint Denis, go back home, look for her parents, look for someone who wasn’t part of that act.
She took the blanket from her shoulders and threw it on the ground, looking at the people around her, those people who where doing her wrong for no apparent reason. Then, she took two big steps and reached out a hand to take the doorknob, but in that same moment, the door busted open.

Adore You [H.S]
Tumblr media
Summary: Harry meets Lily in the summer of 1965, after graduating Uni he flies to the states to work as a photographer. It's at one of his boss's house parties that they meet and sparks fly.
But when Harry is asked to go to Viatnam and photograph the horrors happening there, will the distance tear them apart? And what about the darkness surrounding him when he returns? Will she be able to heal him.
And she...she's not the same either.
Taking in the beauty of the sixties, this is a love story that spans years and culminates in one final admission. Harry will always adore her.
Chapter One:
"And we drink our coffee and pretend not to look at each other." Charles Baudelaire
The party was in full swing when Lily arrived, nervously walking up the path to her old friend's home. People lingered outside as music thumped from inside. It reminded her very much of the parties they attended at Berkely only three years ago. It was amazing how time could fly and people could change.
"Lily!" The first person she sees is dear old Louis Tomlinson. The two of them had dated in college, albeit briefly, but that hadn't gotten in the way of their friendship. Lily rushed into his open arms, laughing as her friend embraced her warmly. "Let me get a good look at ya love," she smiled, not realizing how much she had actually missed his accent. He had come from overseas. England to be exact, a town called Doncaster. She loved his heavy accent.
He took in her outfit. Lily wore a creamed colored skirt and white blouse tucked into it. She wore a pair of black ballet flats and had a few gold bracelets on her wrists, not one for jewelry, she decided to skip the rings and a necklace, fearing if she got to drunk she may actually lose them.
"You look lovely as eva," he praised, causing her to blush slightly.
"I could say the same about you," she complimented back, almost shouting in his ear. Louis wore a white button down shirt and grey slacks. He would look good in a paper bag. Lily thought jealously. He was always so effortlessly cool looking. "Have you seen Marie around? She invited me and I never got the chance to thank her." Louis shrugged, bringing his beer to his lips.
"Not since the party started actually. She's been a proper host." The music changes, The Beatles 'Love Me Do' begins to play. "Fancy a dance love?" Louis shouted over the music. Lily nodded, taking her friend's hand as he set down his beer.
They made their way through the crowded living room, Louis pulling her in front of him as they begin to dance. Louis was never good at it, jerking and playfully teasing Lily with his moves. She couldn't help but laugh out loud at just how silly she was.
"I never realized how much I missed you." She said as he pulled her close after spinning her out. She can feel him grin against the top of her head.
"Missed you too, Love." The sound of a motorcycle pulling up outside stops their conversation. Heads turn towards the door as the music dies down and people look to see who's got the bike.
With the front doors of Marie's house open, Lily can just see a glint of black metal under the street lights outside her home. A shadowy figure getting off the bike and walking up the path towards the house. People begin to disperse, the momentary curiosity lapsing as they go back to their conversations and alcohol. But Lily looks on, curious.
"I thought she said she didn't invite him." She heard Louis say behind her. His voice slightly strained.
"I'm sorry, who?" She asks. She watches Louis swallow hard before explaining.
"His name is Harry. He's a photographer, it's rumored he does a lot of boudoir and naughty pictures, no one knows for sure. He's sort of a bad boy mystery." Lily watched as the man took off his helmet, shaking out thick curly locks that she instinctively wanted to run her fingers through.
"Oh." She said nearly breathless. He looks up, hooking his helmet under his arm. Lily feels her heart skips a beat when he locked eyes with her. His eyes were green, so light and pretty, she had to look away before she got lost in them. "I better go find Marie. She is the reason I came tonight." Lily said, clearing her throat.
"Right." Louis said, reaching out to hug her. He could see Harry was watching them, a blank expression on his face as Louis pulled away. "I'll talk to you soon...and Lily," he reached for her hand before she walked away. "Stay away from 'im please. I don't know what I'd do if you eva got hurt." Lily gave him a sweet smile before walking off to find Marie.
Harry didn't usually come to these things. He perfered to keep to himself, stay at home and catch up on some reading or work on some pictures he'd taken. But Marie was his boss and she'd been nothing but kind to him since he started working for her. It was almost a dream really, right out of Uni he had gotten the call. Someone in the States had seen his portfolio and really admired his work. It had all gone from there. So if anything he was grateful for the opportunity she had given him.
Everyone had stared at him when he pulled up on his bike. It was still a work in progress, but he hadn't thought it looked that shitty. He avoided the stares and questioning looks as he entered the party, hoping to only say hello to Marie and then leave.
It was when he had taken off his helmet and felt someone staring at him that he saw her.
She stood in the corner of the living room, right by the record player, eyes locking with his intensely. Her dark hair fell down around her shoulders in simple, loose curls, brown eyes gazing at him with curiosity. She looked away too soon.
Lily never ended up finding Marie. She pushed her way through the crowded house and out into the fresh night air. There were a few couples scattered about here and there but everyone was mostly inside, the party was kicking up a notch and that was her cue to head home.
She thought about the man. Harry, as she kicked pebbles with her shoes, arms crossed against her chest as the cool breeze swept through her hair. She should have brought a jacket maybe. But it had been warmer earlier so she hadn't thought to. It was close to midnight and she could feel exhaustion seeping into her bones as she walked the three blocks to her apartment.
The rumble of a motorcycle behind her startled her, causing her to cry out and nearly stumble. She turned to see the head light of the bikes nearly blinding her as it came to a stop beside her.
"Hey," the driver pulled his helmet off and she felt her heart jump into her stomach. It was him. "Need a ride?" He asked. Lily opened her mouth to reply but thought about Louis's warning.
"No thanks. My apartment is close."
"It's a little late to be walking home alone don't you think?"
"I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself." Harry grinned, she was quick. He shut off his motorcycle, climbing off of it and steering it towards the curb. He let up the kick stand and walked back over to Lily, shimmying out of his jacket.
"Here," he offered, holding out his coat. Lily was taken aback by his demeanor. He spoke to her so easily, as if they were friends and hadn't just met. "I noticed your arms. A bit nippy out tonight yeah?" Wordlessly Lily takes the leather jacket, it's heavy, but warm from his body heat as she wraps it around herself.
"Thank you." She managed.
"No problem....please. Let me walk you home. I can't leave without knowin' ya made it. Would weigh heavy on my conscience." Lily laughed softly at his words, he seemed so formal, almost stiff.
"I suppose. As long as you don't plan on stalking me." He smirked, coming to walk beside her.
"Course not. My mum raised a gentleman."
"How did you find me anyway?" She asked. He shrugged, shoving his hands into the pockets of his Jean's.
"Was goin' home myself an saw you. Couldn't jus let you go off alone." She nodded.
They walked in silence for a bit, Lily didn't know what to say really. She was surprised and impressed by his kindness. But Harry's growling stomach ended up speaking for both of them.
"Sorry." He said shyly, patting his belly. "Haven' are in a while."
"There's a diner around the corner from my place....if you wanted to stop and grab something really quick?"
"You sure that's alright?" He asked her.
"Sure. I'll buy, pay you back for your chivalry." He chuckled, shaking his head.
"No need to do that love."
Frankie's was a 24 hour dinner. Lily came there many a night during college to cram for exams and drink enough black coffee to kill her. It was her place, but it felt a little weird bringing Harry there. She only just met him.
"Hey Martha." Lily said as they slid into a booth by the window. The older woman had walked over almost immediately, throwing Lily a kind smile.
"Who's this handsome young man you've brought with you?" Martha winked at Harry. He smiled, unable to contain his laughter.
"'m Harry. Nice to meet you." He held out his hand.
"My what a gentleman." Martha said, dramatically crossing her hand over her heart before shaking his. "What can I get you kids?"
"I'll have a chocolate milkshake and a burger, everything on it." Harry raised his eyebrows slightly. Lily was a little girl, he hadn't expected that.
"And you?" Martha asked.
"I'll have wha' she's havin' sounds good." Martha scribbled the order down before walking away. Lily cleared her throat, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"So your accent? You're british?" Harry nodded.
"Proudly."
"What brought you to the states?"
"I always wanted to be a professional photographer. Went to Uni for it. When I was getting ready to graduate we had to set up our portfolios. Marie saw mine and liked it. Offered me a job almost a week after I graduated. So I took the time to get the paper work done and now I'm here on a work visa." Martha brought out the milkshakes. Lily took a long sip of hers, savoring the chocolate taste on her tongue.
"So that's how you know Marie."
"How do you know her?"
"We were roomies in college. We went to Berkely together. She was into all the marketing and stuff. I went for Women's studies and Philosophy."
"I'm impressed."
"Don't be. It's not that great."
They chattered a bit more before their food came. Lily learned that Harry had one older sister and two older step siblings. The way he spoke about his mother and his sister, you'd have thought they hung the moon and threw the stars into the sky. Lily found herself listening closely, palm on her chin as she focused on his words and the calm slow cadence of his voice.
"Tha' was delicious." Harry said, licking his fingers. Lily laughed dipping the last fry into ketchup. She started to fish out her wallet, only for Harry to hold up his hand.
"I said I got it Harry."
"At least let me split it."
"Fine." They split the bill and each leave a little tip, waving good bye to Martha as they left the diner, it was later now, nearly two in the morning and Lily could feel the exhaustion catching up to her.
"How much further from your flat are we?" Harry asked. He reached out, taking her hand in his as she led him down the street towards her apartment.
"Right here," she said, turning towards a painted white door, surrounded by a wrought iron fence and bricks. Harry walked her up to the door, taking his jacket back as she shrugged it off her shoulders.
"I'm glad you decided to walk me home." She acknowledged, a small and sleepy smile on her face.
"I'm glad you let me." They stared at each other for a moment more, electricity vibrating between them as they locked eyes. Harry swallowed hard, leaning forward to kiss her cheek.
"G'night Miss. Lily."
