— 28 betrayal, hurt…reconciliation [3.9k w]
MASTERLIST | PREV | NEXT
PAIRING: brothers bsf! sunghoon x f!reader
WARNINGS: hurt, betrayal, language
AUTHORS NOTE: I tried surprising you guys by not telling you I was posting td hehe, enjoy <3
how could this have happened? he analyzes the photos closely, his heart sinking as he sees the images of you and Sunghoon, his best friend? his little sister? with their lips locked in a kiss?what the actual fuck. The betrayal cuts deep, and fury courses through his veins, each beat of his heart pounding louder in his ears.
The phone slips from his grasp, clattering onto the table as he scramble for his car keys. There's no time to think, no time to process what he’s just seen. The only thing that matters is getting to your house. he doesn’t care about the speed limit, the world outside blurring into a haze as he presses the pedal to the floor.
his mind races faster than the car, a torrent of emotions threatening to drown him. Anger, hurt, and a desperate need for answers fuel his reckless drive. As he approached your house, he barely registers the screech of tires against asphalt. All he knows is that you need to be confronted, to understand why you two did this to him.
Saerom was lounging on the couch, flipping through the endless arrays of movies and dramas that failed to catch her eye, when a loud, insistent knock echoed through the house. She frowned, setting the magazine aside and heading toward the door. when she opened it, she was met with Heeseung’s intense gaze and furrowed brows.
"Heeseung, hey—" she began, a bit taken aback by his agitated demeanor.
“Y/N here?” he cut her off abruptly, not waiting for an answer as he brushed past her and stormed into the house.
“Heeseung, wait—” Saerom tried to protest, but he was already making his way to your room, his footsteps heavy with urgency.
Heeseung didn’t bother knocking. He threw the door open, and there, in a tangle of blankets, were you and Sunghoon, your head nestled against his chest as he mindlessly scrolled on his phone.
“Un fucking believable,” Heeseung spat, his voice laced with betrayal.
you and Sunghoon scrambled to sit up, shock written across your faces. Sunghoon’s eyes widened, and your mouth opened and closed, searching for words.
“Heeseung, I—” you started, but the intensity of his glare silenced you.
“How long has this been going on?” Heeseung demanded, his voice trembling with anger and hurt.
you and Sunghoon exchanged a nervous glance, each silently pleading for the other to say something. Heeseung’s patience snapped.
“fucking answer me!” he bellowed, his voice echoing through the room.
Sunghoon swallowed hard, his voice barely a whisper as he stammered, “T-technically since Japan.”
Heeseung’s eyes widened with fury, his fists clenching at his sides. “are you fucking kidding me? I trust you to accompany my sister and in turn you start sleeping with her?? what the fuck sunghoon?!”
your eyes filled with tears as you finally found your voice. “We were gonna tell you, I promise.”
Heeseung scoffed, his anger unrelenting. “Before or after you got caught?”
you took a deep breath, trying to steady your trembling hands. “Heeseung, you have to understand, it wasn’t like we planned this to hurt you. We were just scared of how you’d react.”
Heeseung’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing. “Scared of how I’d react? You’re my sister and sunghoon is supposed to be my best friend! How did you think I’d react?”
Sunghoon finally mustered the courage to step forward. “Heeseung, we didn’t mean for it to happen this way. We just… we care about each other.”
The sight of Sunghoon’s face seemed to ignite something in Heeseung. Without warning, he swung his fist, connecting with Sunghoon’s jaw.
Sunghoon staggered back, clutching his face, his eyes wide with shock and pain. “Heeseung, I—”
Heeseung didn’t let him finish. “You fucking asshole” he yelled, his voice breaking. “You were supposed to be there for her not fall for her”
you stepped in front of him. “Heeseung, please! Let’s talk this out. just please don’t hurt him!” you plead, your voice breaking.
the tension in the room reached its peak, the sound of a door creaking open echoed down the hall. Jake, who had been in the restroom, heard the commotion and rushed towards your room. He burst in just as Heeseung was about to throw another punch at Sunghoon.
“Hey hey hey, stop it!” Jake shouted, grabbing Heeseung’s arm and pulling him back.
Heeseung struggled against Jake’s hold, his fury not yet abated. “Jake, let me fucking go. He deserves this!”
Jake tightened his grip, stepping between Heeseung and Sunghoon. “Enough, Heeseung! This isn’t going to solve anything.”
Heeseung glared at Jake, his eyes filled with betrayal. “You knew, didn’t you? You knew this whole time and didn’t think to tell me?”
Jake looked pained, but he held his ground. “It wasn’t my secret to tell, Heeseung. I wanted to, but it wasn’t my place.”
Heeseung’s anger flared again, though this time it was mixed with hurt. “So you just let them lie to me? Let them sneak around behind my back?”
Jake shook his head. “I didn’t let them do anything. I told them they needed to tell you, but it was their decision to make.”
still standing between the boys, you looked at Heeseung with tear-filled eyes. “Heeseung, please. Jake didn’t do anything wrong. This is on us.”
Heeseung looked between you, Sunghoon, and Jake, his emotions a whirlwind. Finally, he took a step back, his shoulders slumping. “I don’t know who I can trust anymore.”
Jake released Heeseung’s arm, his expression filled with sympathy. “You can trust that we all care about you. We just didn’t handle things the right way.”
Heeseung rubbed his temples, the weight of everything pressing down on him. “I can’t even look at you right now.”
tears are streaming down your face, looking at Heeseung with desperation. “Heeseung… I love him.”
Heeseung paused, his eyes filling with more pain. He turned to look at you, his expression a mixture of hurt and concern. "He’s going to hurt you," he said, his voice trembling.
you shook her head, her heart aching. "No, Heeseung, he won't."
Heeseung’s eyes brimmed with tears. "How can you be so sure? You’ve been sneaking around, lying to me. How can you trust him after all this?"
you took a step closer, pleading with him. "Because I know him. And I know this is hard for you to believe right now, but he makes me happy."
Heeseung looked at you, the pain in his eyes evident. "I just want to protect you. I don’t want to see you get hurt."
your voice softened, filled with love and determination. "I know, Heeseung. And I appreciate that. But I need you to trust me on this. Please."
Heeseung swallowed hard, the tears finally spilling over. "I don’t know if I can. Not right now."
you nodded, your own tears flowing freely. "Take your time. But please, believe me when I say we didn’t mean to hurt you. We love you."
Heeseung looked away, wiping his eyes. "I love you too, y/n. That's why this hurts so much." he looks over to sunghoon, “don’t bother coming home, you’re out.”
With that, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving you standing there, your heart breaking for your brother, and it was no one’s fault but your own.
your world had become a shadow of its former self. The weight of Heeseung's hurt and disappointment bore down on your shoulders like a crushing burden. Days passed in a haze of misery. you found yourself withdrawing from everything you once enjoyed, your appetite dwindling, and even the thought of attending classes seemed unbearable.
your best friends noticed the change immediately. Saerom, who had always been your confidante, approached you gently one afternoon.
"y/n please talk to me," Saerom pleaded, sitting beside you on the bed where you had been listlessly staring at nothing in particular.
you blinked back tears, your voice barely above a whisper. "I can't, Saerom. I've messed everything up. I hurt Heeseung so much."
Saerom wrapped her arms around you, holding you close. "You didn’t mean to hurt him, baby. Sometimes things just happen."
you shook her head, her tears flowing freely now. "But I did hurt him. I betrayed his trust. And now he won’t even talk to me."
she rubbed your back soothingly, feeling utterly helpless. "Give him time, y/n . He loves you. He’ll come around."
you pulled away,eyes filled with despair. "I don’t know if he ever will. And even if he does, how can things ever be the same?"
Saerom’s heart broke for you. "I wish I had the answers. Just know that I’m here for you, no matter what."
you nodded weakly, appreciating Saerom’s support even as the ache in your heart persisted. youfelt lost, adrift in a sea of guilt and sorrow, unable to find solace in anything, not even in the presence of your closest friends.
A week had passed since the tumultuous confrontation in your room. Heeseung found himself in the university library, an unusual place for him on a quiet afternoon. He was buried in his textbooks, trying to focus on the equations and theories in front of him, anything to distract himself from the ache in his heart.
He flipped through pages, his mind wandering back to the events of the past week. The hurt and betrayal were still fresh, but being surrounded by the hushed atmosphere of the library offered a semblance of peace. It was a stark contrast to the turmoil of emotions that had consumed him since discovering your secret.
Sunghoon took a deep breath, his face still bruised from Heeseung’s punch. “Can I sit?”
Heeseung glanced up at him, his expression conflicted. After a moment, he nodded.
Sunghoon sat down, the silence between them heavy. Finally, he spoke. “Heeseung, I’m so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you.”
Heeseung kept his gaze fixed on the ground. “You were my best friend, Sunghoon. I trusted you more than anyone.”
Sunghoon swallowed hard. “I know. And I betrayed that trust. But I swear, it wasn’t intentional. I just... I fell in love with her.”
Heeseung looked up, his eyes filled with pain. “And you couldn’t tell me? You had to sneak around behind my back?”
Sunghoon nodded, his voice barely above a whisper. “We were scared. We didn’t want to lose you.”
Heeseung’s anger flared again, though not as intensely as before. “You lost me the moment you decided to lie to me.”
Sunghoon’s shoulders slumped. “I know. And I don’t expect you to forgive me right away. But I need you to know that I love y/n. I would never hurt her.”
Heeseung shook his head, tears welling up again. “How can I believe that? After all this?”
Sunghoon’s voice was steady, filled with sincerity. “Because I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life. I love her, Heeseung. And I love you too. You’re like a brother to me. Losing you... it’s the last thing I ever wanted.”
Heeseung wiped his eyes, taking a deep breath. “This is going to take time. I don’t know if I can trust either of you right now.”
Sunghoon nodded, understanding. “I’ll wait as long as it takes. Just... please don’t shut us out. We need you- she needs you. she isn’t taking it well.”
Heeseung looked at Sunghoon, seeing the genuine remorse and love in his eyes. “I need time to process this. But... i’ll talk to her”.
Sunghoon managed a small, grateful smile. “Thank you, Heeseung. That means a lot.”
Heeseung nodded, the pain still raw but a small glimmer of hope beginning to form. “We’ll see. Just... don’t hurt her. Or I won’t forgive you. Ever.”
Sunghoon placed a hand on Heeseung’s shoulder, his voice firm. “I won’t. I promise.”
They sat in silence for a while, the weight of their conversation lingering, but there was a sense of understanding beginning to bridge the gap between them.
Sunghoon had been by your side through it all, his own heart heavy with guilt and longing to make things right. later that afternoon, you both lay together in the cacoon of your duvet, hiding you from the outside world. Sunghoon gently pulled you into his arms.
"I talked to Heeseung," Sunghoon murmured softly, his fingers tracing soothing patterns on the soft skin of your back.
you looked up at him, eyes searching his face. "you did?? what did he say? are you ok? did he hit you again?"
Sunghoon sighed, his expression pained. "i’m ok but…he's hurting, baby. deeply. But he's starting to listen. I think... I think there's hope."
Tears welled up in your eyes again. "I miss him, hoon. I miss my brother."
Sunghoon held you tighter, his own eyes moistening. "He misses you too, y/n. He just needs time to heal."
you nodded, burying your face in Sunghoon's chest, seeking comfort in his warmth. "I wish I could take back everything. I wish I hadn’t hurt him."
Sunghoon kissed the top of your head gently. "We’ll get through this, baby. I promise. We just have to be patient."
you stayed like that for a while, finding solace in each other’s embrace, both hoping and praying that time would heal the wounds you had inadvertently caused.
"I love you," you whispered, your voice filled with sincerity and a hint of vulnerability.
Sunghoon cupped you face gently, his gaze locked with yours. "I love you too, y/n," he murmured, pressing a tender kiss to your forehead.
In that moment, despite the pain and uncertainty, your love remained a steadfast anchor, offering hope for reconciliation and a future where healing could finally begin.
The next day, you were sitting in your room, staring blankly at the wall, when there was a gentle knock on the door. you looked up, heart skipping a beat when you saw Heeseung standing in the doorway, a tentative look on his face.
"Can we talk?" Heeseung asked softly, stepping inside.
you nodded, feeling a mix of hope and apprehension. "Of course."
Heeseung took a deep breath, sitting down on the edge of the bed. "I've been thinking a lot, you know about everything."
your eyes filled with tears. "I’m so sorry, Hee. I never wanted to hurt you."
Heeseung nodded, his own eyes glistening. "I know. And I’m sorry for how I reacted. I was just... I felt- i feel so betrayed."
you reached out, taking his hand. "I never meant for it to happen like this. i just didn’t want you to be disappointed, you mean too much to me. but so does he.
Heeseung squeezed your hand gently. "Sunghoon talked to me yesterday. He explained everything. I realize now that you both love each other, and as much as it hurt to find out the way I did, I can’t stand the thought of losing either of you."
your tears spilled over, a mixture of relief and sorrow. "I miss you."
Heeseung’s voice cracked with emotion. "I miss you too, y/n. And I don’t want to lose you. It’s going to take time for me to fully trust again, but I’m willing to try."
you nodded, heart swelling with hope. "i’ll do whatever it takes to make things right. I promise."
he pulls you into a tight embrace, his tears mingling with yours. "We’ll get through this together. I love you, sis"
"I love you too, hee," she whispered, holding him close. "Thank you for giving me a chance to make things right."
As you pulled away from the heartfelt embrace, Heeseung wiped his eyes and managed a small, teasing smile. "You look like shit, by the way."
you laughed through your tears, lightly punching his arm. "wow thanks. You’re not looking so hot yourself."
Heeseung chuckled, the tension in the room easing slightly. "I guess we've both been a mess, huh?"
you nodded, a smile playing on your lips. "Yeah, but maybe now we can start to clean up the mess together."
Heeseung grinned, ruffling your hair. "Sounds like a plan. Just promise me you’ll start eating and going to classes again. We both need to get our lives back on track."
you rolled her eyes playfully. "alright, big brother. I promise. But only if you promise to stop hiding in the library, it’s kinda scary to be honest."
Heeseung laughed, shaking his head. "Deal. Let’s both try to get back to some kind of normal."
you smiled, feeling a warmth in her chest she hadn't felt in days. "I’m really glad we talked, hee."
Heeseung nodded, his expression softening. "Me too, y/n. Me too."
Heeseung leaned back, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "You know, I should probably have a little chat with Sunghoon too."
you raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "Oh? And what are you going to say to him?"
Heeseung smirked, crossing his arms. "Just a friendly reminder that if he ever hurts you, I’ll turn his life into a never-ending horror movie. You know, typical big brother stuff."
you laughed, shaking her head. "Poor Sunghoon. He's already scared of you as it is."
Heeseung chuckled. "Good. Keeps him on his toes."
Just then, Sunghoon timidly peeked around the corner, having overheard the last part of their conversation. "Uh, did I hear my name?"
Heeseung turned to him, his expression mock-serious. "Yeah, just giving y/n a heads-up about your imminent doom if you screw this up."
Sunghoon gulped, trying to hide his nervousness. "Duly noted. I promise, Heeseung, I'll take good care of her."
Heeseung's serious facade broke, and he grinned. "Relax, Sunghoon. Just don’t forget, I’ll always be watching."
Sunghoon laughed nervously, and you rolled your eyes playfully. "Alright, you two, enough with the threats. Let’s just focus on moving forward."
Heeseung nodded, still smiling. "Agreed. But remember, Sunghoon, horror movie."
Sunghoon nodded fervently. "Got it. No horror movies."
Just as the tension in the room began to ease, there was a loud commotion from the front door. Jungwon, Sunoo, and Niki barged into the house, their voices filled with excitement.
"Guess who brought chicken!!!" Jungwon shouted, holding up a bag of takeout.
The trio stopped in their tracks when they saw Heeseung standing in the living room with you and sunghoon, an awkward silence immediately filling the space .
Sunoo looked around, his eyes wide with surprise. "Should we leave?" he whispered to the others, his voice barely audible.
Heeseung, still processing the sudden intrusion, managed to chuckle. "No, it's fine. Come on in."
Jungwon, Sunoo, and Niki exchanged nervous glances but slowly entered the room, setting the bags of food on the table. Niki looked at Heeseung, trying to gauge the situation. "Are you sure? We didn’t mean to interrupt anything."
you smiled, wiping away the remnants of your tears. "It's okay. We were just finishing up."
Sunoo glanced at Sunghoon, noticing his bruised face . "he didn’t punch you again did he?" he says in a whisper.
Sunghoon smiled sheepishly. "no, he didn’t”
sunoo pumps his fist in the air discreetly “progress!!” he whispers.
Jungwon, trying to lighten the mood, clapped his hands together. "Well, since we're all here, why don’t we eat? Maybe some food will help clear the air."
Heeseung nodded, a small smile forming. "Yeah, that sounds good. Let’s eat."
you all gathered around the table, the atmosphere slowly shifted from tense to more relaxed. The sound of laughter and chatter began to fill the room, a reminder of the bond you all shared and the hope that, in time, everything could be mended.
Sunoo leaned over to you, whispering with a playful grin, "You better make sure Heeseung gets the biggest piece of chicken. Peace offering and all."
you laughed, nodding. "Consider it done."
as you ate, the group gradually began to relax, the earlier tension dissipating. Heeseung, Sunghoon, and you exchanged glances, knowing that this was just the beginning of yourjourney to rebuild trust and heal their relationships. But surrounded by friends and shared laughter
a little over a month later, time had done its work, gradually healing the rift between Heeseung, Sunghoon, and you. Heeseung had come to terms with your relationship, and while it had been a rocky road, the bond you shared had grown stronger.
One sunny afternoon, Heeseung pulled up in front of your house to pick up you and Sunghoon for a lunch outing you had planned. He honked the horn lightly, signaling his arrival.
you both emerged from the house, holding hands and smiling. climbing into the backseat of Heeseung’s car, leaving the front seat empty.
Heeseung glanced in the rearview mirror, raising an eyebrow. "Really? The backseat?"
Sunghoon grinned, wrapping his arm around you . "What can I say? We like being close."
you leaned your head on Sunghoon’s shoulder, eyes twinkling with mischief. "Thanks for driving us, Heeseung. You make a great chauffeur."
Heeseung rolled his eyes, starting the engine. "Yah, just don’t do anything you’re not supposed to be doing in my car."
Sunghoon laughed, squeezing your hand. "We promise to be good. Well, mostly."
you often found yourrself reflecting on how much had changed. you had feared losing your brother’s trust and your relationship with Sunghoon in the process, but instead, you had all come out of it closer and more resilient.
One evening, as the sun set, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, you sat on the balcony of your house. Heeseung and Sunghoon joined you, sitting on either side, each lost in their thoughts.
“Do you ever think about how far we’ve come?” you asked softly, glancing at both of them.
Heeseung nodded, a gentle smile on his face. “Yeah, I do. It wasn’t easy, but I’m glad we made it through.”
Sunghoon took yourhand, squeezing it lightly. “We’ve grown a lot, all of us. And I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world.”
you leaned her head on Heeseung’s shoulder, feeling the warmth of their presence. “I’m just glad I have both of you. It was tough, but it’s worth it. Having you both by my side means everything to me.”
Heeseung wrapped an arm around you, his smile widening. “We’re family. And nothing is going to change that.”
Sunghoon nodded, looking at Heeseung. “Thank you for accepting us, Heeseung. It means a lot.”
Heeseung chuckled, ruffling Sunghoon’s hair. “Just remember, if you ever hurt her, you’ll have to deal with me.”
you laughed, feeling a sense of peace and contentment. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love you both so much.”
The three of you sat there, enjoying the serene evening, knowing that despite the challenges you had faced, you had come out stronger and more united. The love and trust you had rebuilt were the foundation of your unbreakable bond.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, you felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. It had been a rocky and tough situation, but you had both your boys, and that was all that really mattered.

❝Uncurable disease... or so they say.❞
┏━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━┓
✰ Characters: Neuvillette.
✰ Words: 1k.
✰ SFW ; gn!reader, no mentions of pronouns, but neuvillette uses female pet name towards the reader, I think.
Warnings: slight hurt, but then a lot of comfort. neuvi doesnt know how confessing works and does it his own way.
A/N: NEUVILLETTE BRAINROT NEUVILLETTE BRAINROTKORFKKTGOID GRRRRRR it was supposed to short but oh well 1k words hehe shy emoji
┗━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━┛
“You make me ill.”
Neuvillette’s words pierce through your heart like daggers. His orchid eyes stare you down and indicate absolutely nothing; his sudden confession left you in a circle between shock and confusion.
The words spread throughout your body like poison, but in reality you’re only staring back at him. The hurt starts to become visible on your face, but your mouth seems to be unable to let out a noise; yet, the voice in your head yells and begs to know the answer as to why.
You clutch the rainbow rose he brought you close to your chest, being the first to take your eyes off him. You look at the ground, feeling the familiar clump in your throat that starts to form.
Neuvillette has been feeling sick as of late. Or at least, that’s what he thought - well, what else could explain that he feels his temperature rise, his heart beating so fast it could escape his chest, making even his voice tremble? “No, this cannot be-“ Neuvillette thought frantically, massaging his temples, “It’s time for a professional to evaluate.”
Though, as expected - the doctor was of no help. She giggled to herself, “I apologize, monsieur Neuvillette, I’m afraid I can’t help in this case. I can assure you however, you’re perfectly healthy.” The chief of justice felt the uncomfortable feeling of embarrassment, but thanked the doctor and left the room.
After yet another trial where Neuvillette seemed to be somewhere else with his thoughts, Furina confronted him with a tinge of annoyance in her voice. The white haired man could only mutter a thing, that he does not feel well; at the sound of his pathetic excuse, Furina stood up from her seat furiously, throwing her hands in the air, “You aren’t sick, fool! You’re in love!”The hydro archon’s cheeks flushed a slight pink at her own statement, but she was no match for her subordinate; she pushed the sudden bashfulness away, “n-now, do something about it immediately! I will not tolerate it in the courtroom any longer!” Furina crossed her arms and sat down again, furrowing her brows and watching the empty seats below her.
Seeing you divert your eyes away, Neuvillette’s expression softened significantly, his line of sight mimicking yours and shifting to a nearby bench.
“Why?”
Neuvillette blinks quickly, his eyelashes batting at you in surprise, “Come again? What do you mean?”
“Why do you hate me?”
He could feel the boiling hot feeling spreading through his body, although not a pleasant one. His eyes widened at you and his lips parted ever so slightly - but Neuvillette could only hear his heart beating so fast, beating to the rhythm of worry and uncertainty.
Before he could react properly, he saw a small tear dripping down your cheek, onto the cold pavement.
But his body moved without thinking.
He cups your cheeks gently with his gloved hands and moves your head up, just enough so you could look at him. His thumbs wipe your tears off your face, sighing deeply and finally speaking the real deal.
“You… make my heart race. It beats ungodly fast whenever I lay my eyes on you. You’ve been occupying my thoughts for many months, and even if I try to think about anything else - I cannot bring myself to do it, because it all comes back to you. I can’t… stop thinking about you, I can’t stop myself from admiring your ravishing beauty, I want you-“
“Wait!” You yell just enough to make him stop, both of you avoiding each other’s gazes and blushing bright red, but his hands stayed firmly on your face, no longer drying off tears, but caressing the apples of your cheeks he gently, “if that’s how you feel, then why…? Why did you say it like that?” For what it feels like first time in forever, you look into his gorgeous eyes that resemble the finest amethyst.
“I… I apologize, I didn’t want you to misunderstand me,” Neuvillette gasps slightly when he feels your delicate palms on his own hands, “but I truly mean it - I…”
Your breath hitches in your throat; the butterflies in your stomach don’t seem to help, but the anticipation has you almost shaking.
“I love you.”
Neuvillette can’t describe the weight that’s been lifted off his shoulders; but the sinking sensation in his stomach of not knowing what will happen next is making him nervous more than anything. When more tears meet his hands yet again, he fears for the worst.
“It’s alright, please do not shed any more tears because of me. I’m happy enough to have said it,” except, he doesn’t. He feels his heart break in half, getting filled by nothing but a void of emptiness.
The clouds become gloomy - looks like it’s going to rain later.
Just as his hands slide down and he begins to turn away, you reach out for his arm and grab it, causing him to spare you one, last look.
“Wait! I’m sorry, don’t go… I love you too, silly.” You manage to murmur the last few words loud enough that he could hear.
Neuvillette can’t believe it’s actually happening. He appears stunned for a minute, watching you in disbelief, but then a genuine smile graces his lips; his hands play with your fingers and silently ask to be intertwined with yours. When your interlaced hands give him a small squeeze, he gives you the softest, most lovesick look with his eyes that no one could ever imagine.
He places a quick kiss on your forehead and leans against it. Neuvillette’s eyes close for a moment, absorbing the fleeting moment.
It doesn’t take long before the chief of justice pushes your chin up with his fingers, his thumb brushing your lower lip, awaiting for your answer, “Can I, ma chérie?”
It only takes seconds for him to finally lock your lips together, and he wishes to feel that tenderness forever from this day forward.
Neuvillette certainly has to learn a bit more about expressing feelings - now, with your help.
The golden sun returns to adorn the clear skies once more.

and remus kinda freaks out because she isn't supposed to be there and starts trying to make excuses about his wounds
Thanks for requesting! I'm not a Scamander myself hehe so I had to look up some werewolf stuff but I hope this is alright :)
Remus Lupin x Scamander!reader ♡ 653 words
Remus wakes feeling like he always does after a full moon: exhausted, groggy, and so, so sore. From the brightness against his eyelids and the sounds around him, he knows he's in the infirmary. It's not uncommon, and as humiliating as the whole ordeal can be, he's glad to have Madam Pomfrey to care for him as he heals from the previous night's...events.
But when he opens his eyes, it's not Madam Pomfrey that sits at his bedside, applying some sort of paste to the gouge across his ribcage.
He must inhale or twitch in his surprise, because your attention turns to his face, your hands stilling.
"You're awake," you say, looking at Remus with eyes full of kindness and sympathy. He feels like he might vomit. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine," he says, too sharply, and hurt flashes across your features. Remus' heart is pounding, but he forces himself to take a breath, muzzling his panic. Still, his voice trembles slightly as he asks, "Y/N, love, what are you doing here?"
You smile softly, and Remus knows he's forgiven. "I knew there was some dittany in the greenhouse, so I thought I'd bring some to help heal you."
"I..." Why weren't you asking more questions? You and Remus had only been dating for a few months, and you'd yet to see him in the aftermath of a transformation. He hadn't had to lie to you yet, to make up excuses for why he missed days of class every month and reappeared with new scars. "I was out with Sirius and James last night, and we got fairly wasted." He forces what he hopes is a sheepish grin, though it doesn't feel very convincing. "I took a tumble down a hill, and well..." he gestures to his torn-up torso, shrugging as if it's just further evidence of he and his friends' foolishness.
"Remus," you say, and the nausea is back, your tone far too knowing for Remus' liking, "honey, it's okay. I wanted you to be able to tell me in your own time, but after last night..." You pause, your face pinching in distress as your eyes run over his wounds, ugly and oozing. "I couldn't just not help anymore. I'm sorry."
Remus' stomach is really roiling now, his entire body caught between fight and flight as he reckons with the shock of your admission and his bafflement at your composure. "You knew?" His voice comes out accusatory, but he can hardly muster the energy to correct it. "For how long?"
"I mean, it took me a couple weeks of getting to know you to figure it out." You shrug, going back to gently pressing the dittany to his wounds. "But really, Remus, it doesn't matter to me. I only care about being able to be there for you, to help."
A couple weeks, it'd taken you to learn his secret. So you'd known for months, while Remus had fretted over hiding his headaches from you and worrying that you'd eventually see him just like this, and now here you were. Remus takes a moment to look at you, the tenderness with which you touch him, careful to avoid hurting him further, the patience in your eyes as you wait for his response.
"You really aren't afraid?" he asks. Despite years of sharing all of himself with James and Sirius, Remus finds himself nearly unable to trust it. "Disgusted? Angry with me?"
The look you give him borders on offence, though there's still that same gentle sympathy in your eyes. "Merlin, Remus, of course not. I know it can't be easy for you, and I wouldn't expect you to tell me before you're ready. It's just...another part of you." You smile a bit, and Remus can't help but return it, bewildered and feeling very much on the precipice of falling in love. "And I like all of you, so there."

a thousand faces in a thousand places
synopsis: the housewardens with a Sparkle (from honkai: star rail) reader. (headcanons)
gn!reader + reader is not yuu
RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS
uhm! 😨 (scared)
there is not a single universe where this man, pre-overblot, did not hate you.
so, how did you two meet? considering your mysterious, yet still childish personality- you probably got sorted into heartslabyul!
you’re basically like alice but.. so. much. worse.
pre-overblot he’d, most likely, be very cross with you.
do you know how many times you’ve been off-with-your-head-ed? because it’s happened a LOT. and i mean, a lot a lot.
you were in and out of everywhere, were rather cryptic, and had a strong mischievous streak.
how could he NOT be annoyed? smh.
though, post-overblot, i think he’d be more relaxed.
of course, he’d still be exasperated, but not to the level of annoyance he had before. progress, woop woop !!!
LEONA KINGSCHOLAR
i am still scared. not for you, but for leona.
he’d be annoyed, i suppose. you’re like a creepy, more out there, more literally insane version of ruggie.
so, how did you two meet? it’s similar to how yuu and the lion met, actually. except.. there’s kind of a difference.
whereas yuu stepped on his tail (by accident!), causing leona to go “ooh i’m gonna eat you” like a shark on steroids, YOU were the one who.. tried to eat him.
picture this, leona sleeping on the botanical garden, you seeing his tail and immediately going
how romantic a meeting! be still, my heart! meetcute who?
you immediately started laughing hysterically when his startled awake gaze met your terribly amused eyes, so the impression you left to him.. eh.
you probably started a “Call Leona ‘Unca Weona’” trend on MagiTok (that cater undoubtedly joined in on), so he’s probably pretty annoyed at you.
— you’ve also probably used his money to fund some performances.
AZUL ASHENGROTTO
“you have bewitched me body and soul. 🤩” “HOW DID YOU GET INTO MY HOUSE”
he’s probably mildly terrified of you and your absolutely horrendous schemes.
so, how did this lovely pair meet? WELL.
azul, doing paperwork in his office or whatever he does, looking like he sniffs lint, jolts when jade enters abruptly.
it’s unlike the eel’s usual respectful manner, so he’s pretty confused, immediately going “what is it?”
a sheepish jade smiles awkwardly and goes to say something like, “blah blah vanished into thin air before they could pay.”
azul is BEWILDERED. vanished??
so, obviously, righteously wanting his money, he tells jade and floyd to go look for you.
they did not find you.
fun.
KALIM AL-ASIM
he has a new bestie now!
you two are great friends, your chaotic (one more so than the other) tendencies and fun-loving personalities make you a great pair.
jamil would say otherwise.
you two go on happy little excursions around the campus, terrorizing a few people here and there, and honestly just having the time of your lives.
he was so glad you weren’t his friend just for his wealth, but because you liked his personality as he liked yours.
though, you, as someone who can only have their interest piqued by amusement, didn’t understand why he’d think you were using him.
you wear the most stupid matching shirts (that kalim bought and jamil tacitly approved) and walk around, happily playing and leaving only destruction in your wake.
VIL SCHOENHEIT
you’re fashionable, he likes you.
with your skill in acting, you’re probably in the film studies club, which is most likely how you two met.
he admires your.. cough, dedication. and he also thinks your personality is a bit (is it?👀).
“your dedication to being you is admirable.” “hehe thanks but wtf🥰”
as literally everyone is, kalim not included, he’s pretty exasperated by your chaos-causing tendencies and unhinged personality.
illusion magic is your jam, so just imagine how shocked he was when looking into his mirror and seeing your evilly-grinning visage instead of his own face.
(rook approves.)
talking about rook, a curious vil had asked the hunter to.. stalk you for a while, because he was confused if you were really the person you portrayed yourself as.
a laughing rook gave the report that you had found him out and asked if he was close to his housewarden because he stripped himself naked and apologized for his crime of liking neige.
vil is flabbergasted.
IDIA SHROUD
on one hand, he’s terrified, and on the other- he thinks you’re funny.
you come up with the most unhinged insults, and you always get the last word- he thinks you’re admirable.
your level of extrovertness is shocking to him.
first kalim, now you? he is Shaking His Head™.
how you first met doesn’t matter, what matters is what he accidentally said when first meeting you and having a good short chat.
“mesugaki..” he mumbled in the middle of your sentence.
your ears were good. his ears were working well enough to hear his own damn self.
he wants to cry. he wants to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in it.
“hikikomori.” you immediately responded.
critical hit! idia will have to stay inside his room for three weeks, tell ortho he loves him..
you’d say you two get along well, idia would say otherwise.
MALLEUS DRACONIA
he enjoys your rambunctious personality. he’s normally chilling quietly in the corner, so having you drag him around probably does wonders for how people see him.
he approves (sebek does NOT).
he’s sometimes concerned. he knows humans don’t live long, will you Doing What You Do somehow make your lifespan even shorter?
you’re just being you and he’s standing menacingly right beside you. imagine how that looks to other people.
your local terrorist gremlin and THE malleus draconia. standing next to eachother. chilling.
you probably call him “that guy with the horns”, or something more animal aligned.
like “ram horns boy”.
lilia probably laughed at it, silver didn’t know if he should’ve felt offended for malleus or if it was a friendly joke, and sebek is going to use it as a horror story for the future generations of his family.
you’re just causing chaos and he’s there like 🧍😄

Hi darling!!! idk the character limit but may I request for the dorm leaders confessing and asking reader to go on a date? I can just imagine them blushing with a boquete of roses or a plushie in their hands for reader! Hcs btw! So its easier for you! ❤️
Your writing is amazing and I hope you enjoy writing this request. You seriously deserve more love and support, dear 🫶🫶🫶
AWHH tysm Cherry! I swear you're too good to me!! This request was long, but amusing to write!
This ended up being longer than I expected, but we can just say it's a Valentine's fic hehe! I hope you enjoy!
Confessing HCs - Dorm Leaders
Riddle Rosehearts
The Unbirthday party went without hitch and it’s thanks to you
Heartslaybul was short on hands and Riddle didn’t think they could get all the preparations done in time
You had helped Ace and Deuce paint the roses; they wasn’t a single white spot
You had baked many desserts with Trey and man, were they delicious (yum!)
But what Riddle noticed most of all is that you always kept a smile on his face and now, he wants to bring one to your face forever
He had asked you to visit him in private in the rose maze after the Unbirthday party
You have arrived in the rose maze and met with Riddle, who looked nearly as red as the roses with his hands behind his back
Riddle stepped forward and held out what was behind his back: a bouquet of roses
“I grew these and picked them for you, so I would appreciate it if you would have a tea party with me. …Yes, I want to go on a date with you because I love you!”
Leona Kingscholar
Ruggie better not have had lied to him
Leona has no relationship experience and why would he? They’re just too much effort to maintain and deal with…
Is what he thought before he fell in love with you and you occupied his mind 24/7
Ruggie was the first to find out, not like Leona was subtle, and he offered his expertise (in exchange for a week’s worth of food of course)
A gift, Ruggie had said, everyone likes gifts
Make it expensive… or meaningful
Leona held his present as he laid back, waiting for you to arrive- oh there you are
You asked him what he was doing in Ramshackle, laying in your bed
He said nothing and held out his present; a stuffed lion all too adorable and cuddly, just like your Leona
“Yeah I bought it for you, so what? You didn’t think I could be this considerate? Well I can. If you wanna pay me back, meet me in the Botanical Garden. I’ll take you somewhere if you do.”
Azul Ashengrotto
And it's all planned out from start to finish
Of course Azul needed to plan out his potential date with you, what did you take him for?
First, you come to Mostro Lounge because he had already invited you, but he was already waiting by the Octavinelle dorm’s mirror
Because of some inconvenience, oh no, Mostro Lounge had to close early!
He wouldn’t mind taking you out and he’d gift you a little something something
But by the stars the day didn’t go as planned, as Azul stares at the storm raging outside and the rain violently slapping the outside pavement (damn, who pissed off Malleus for a storm of this size?)
A very disappointed Azul goes back to his Lounge, takes a seat at one of the chairs and buries his head in his hands; you weren’t even going to come, were you?
But by some stroke of chance, he hears the door chime open and your muttering, something about heavy rain
The cephalo-merman stands up in shock: could you steal his heart any more than you already have?
And now, he can finally give you his gift, a locket with both your initials engraved together
It wasn’t according to the plan, but Azul didn’t mind: the look on your face when being gifted the locket made everything worth it
“Wait, you actually came? Ah, I suppose that would mean that… you like me too? Of course, you coming here also makes you a customer. Order anything you like, for this was a surprise for you. Consider the locket and dinner a buy one get one free! Though I won’t make you pay for anything…”
Kalim Al-Asim
Parade for two, though Kalim prefers to call it a couple parade!
Kalim wanted to confess and be yours as soon as he could, so he asked Jamil about any confession ideas
To which Jamil replied to confess in his own way and left to do anything else
And so Kalim came up with his own adorable plan: he’d host a small parade for you and confess at the end of it
And one more present he’d make by hand!
You sat outside, behind the training grounds on a special seat Kalim designed and ordered for you
First came the horses, racing steadily forward; next came the peacocks flocking and spreading their feathers
Finally came the elephants and Kalim, looking somehow even more cheerful than ever
You gasped as you realized the elephants held a sign reading, I love you
One of the elephants pass Kalim a box with their trunk
“I’m so happy you came! Here, I made you these chocolates myself! I hope they taste good. And right, like the sign says, I love you! Let’s go hit up a party together, okay?”
Vil Schoenheit
Of course Vil was confident, who would reject The Vil Schoenheit?
And yet, Vil worried his feelings would go unrequited and he wouldn’t be able to give you his own heart
And so, he pulled all the stops
He could order something expense, after all he was a famous student actor and had the wealth for it, but he’d rather make you something by hand
Something meaningful, even more than ‘It's a Wonderful Life’
He couldn’t help it, his mind always came back to you whether he was acting, studying or anything!
You were like the Phantom of the Opera (except you’re so much more beautiful of course!)
Which is why he invited you to Pomefiore’s ballroom, the most romantic room in Pomefiore or even Night Raven College as a whole
Once you walked in the ballroom, the door shut behind you and the room went completely dark
You tried to feel around for a light switch, but a spotlight came into you and another one shined directly in front of you, on Vil
“My potato, you came into my life, as if you were a chaotic tornado. I have compiled a book filled with our memories to be engraved eternally in time. Would you create more mementos by my side?”
Idia Shroud
Can’t he confess through text? No? Fine fine…
He first thought sending you a confession text would be enough embarrassment, but now Ortho is telling him to go to Ramshackle and confess in person
Don’t get him wrong, he does want to confess to you romantically, but he doesn’t know how to
But then again, someone else butting in and snatching you away would be the bad ending
So, he’ll do it, for the completionist route (nahh he’s lying it's definitely 100% for you)
He marched- err, awkward stumbled all the way to Ramshackle dorm with a gift he made for you shoved into his hoodie pocket
He made a 3d projection of a Hell flower just for you!
He wanted to knock on your door, but his hand didn’t want to, as if it had a mind of his own
Yeah he just stood at Ramshackle’s main door trying to work his hands again
Fortunately, you came out and was met face to face with a red Idia
True ending achieved!
“EEP- Don’t creep up on me like that! Uh what am I doing here? Um well, I came to um- give you this projection I made and um- IwantedtotellyouIoveyouOKBYE-”
Malleus Draconia
This is a classic friends to lovers, isn’t it?
It was only natural for Malleus to fall in love with his one (and only, but that doesn’t make his Child of Man any less special!) best friend wasn’t it?
All the romantic strolls you’d have at night: walking together as he would talk about gargoyles being far superior than grotesques
And now, Malleus wants to keep strolling down life together with you
So, he decided to gift you a gargoyle to confess and celebrate the first step in your lives as one
He finds it the least he can do to the person he considers his rock he can depend on whenever his loneliness gets to be too much
You both meet up behind Ramshackle dorm at your usual time to go on midnight walks when he decides to put his surprise into motion
You meet up with Malleus as fireflies swarm the two of you, almost as if pushing both of you closer
With a snap of your Tsunotaro’s fingers, a stone gargoyle magically appears within thin air
You could tell he chiseled it by hand and my, was it beautiful
“Why, of course I’d give you a gargoyle. You must be aware of the feelings I harbor towards you. This gargoyle and my heart are yours. Should you return my feelings, I shall gift you any wonders of this world.”
“Why, of course I’d give you a gargoyle. You must be aware of the feelings I harbor towards you. This gargoyle and my heart are yours. Should you return my feelings, I shall gift you any wonders of this world.”

Azriel Shower Imagine SP
OKAY THE SHOWER IMAGINE IS ALMOST DONE BUT HERE IS LITTLE SNEAKY PEEK BECAUSE HOT DAMN
also az is like super dark and sadistic in this so hopefully yall are into that hehe
If you were supposed to feel shame in begging for your life there was none. You would get on your knees and kiss his feet if it meant you didn’t die with a blade in your chest. Azriel stared into your eyes for far too long, trying to see if there was any hint of a lie, and stepped back when he saw no deception.
Your hands caught you as you fell to your knees, head hanging down as you silently thanked the Mother that he let you go. It was a miracle you hadn’t pissed yourself from how close to death you were. You tried to rise up but frowned when you found yourself still bound by his shadows, your head snapping up to watch him in confusion.
“Did you think you would get off that easy?” He asked smugly. “You broke into my room, my refuge, and went through my things. Do you not think that warrants a punishment?”
Whatever happiness you had just been feeling came crashing down when he finished his sentence. You shouldn’t have been so naive in thinking he would just let you go free. Azriel’s entire reputation was built off of torture, pain, and sadism.
The room seemed to be closing in on you as you bit down on your bottom lip. You weren’t going to make it home, you were going to die for something so fucking stupid. This was how it ended.
“Just make it quick.” You said softly, shoulders slumping in defeat. “That’s all I ask.”
Silence was heavy in the air for a few tense seconds before his laughter made you jump. You furrowed your brows at him, shocked and angry that he thought your life was something to laugh at.
“Do you think I am going to kill you? Is that what you consider a punishment?” His hazel eyes were bright with humor as your frown deepened.
“I just thought-”
Without warning you were suddenly lifted up by his shadows so that you were at eye level, his lips turned upward in a smirk that made your heart hammer and sex throb.
“I’m not going to kill you, little mouse. I’ve got a far more…pleasurable idea of torture in mind.” He purred, watching as your eyes immediately dropped to the growing erection that his towel was barely concealing. “I’m going to fuck you until you can’t walk, can’t think, can’t do anything besides say, ‘yes sir’.”
Your nostrils flared as he snaked a hand through your hair and grabbed the base of your neck, his lips brushing against your own. The scent of arousal was thick as you suppressed a moan. He had just gone from threatening your life to wanting to wreck you in seconds while your mind tried to catch up.
“You will be bound, gagged, and used for my pleasure. That’s your punishment…if you want it.” Azriel shrugged, his jaw tensing. “Or I could turn you into your High Lord and he can decide. Which would you rather do?”
“I…” Your voice was airy as you slowly got high on his scent, logic walking out the door as you swallowed thickly. “I want the first one.”
“Which one? I want you to say it.” He growled, his grip on your hair tightening painfully.
“I want you to, to fuck me, sir.” You blushed, not used to using such filthy language. “To bound me and gag me and use me, as you said.”
Azriel’s smile turned feral as his shadows let you go, his own hands catching you before you could fall. You were sure there were going to be bruises from his grip as he whispered, “You asked for it, little mouse.”

hi!! I saw that you have requests open now :D so I was wondering if I could request a fluffy best friends to lovers au with bang chan? thanks!
hehe hi nonnie ^^ here's a fluffy lil blurb for ya
chan has a crush, and he's somehow successfully kept it from you...until now, at least.
"like hell i'm gonna tell them, bro!" he whisper-yells into his phone, likely talking with felix — your ears perk up as soon as you hear that. of course, you don't mean to eavesdrop (you're only trying to go to the bathroom, really), but he's your best friend, and it seems that he's keeping a humongous secret from you. what else are you supposed to do in this situation?
"you have a crush on someone?" you ask offhandedly as he plops onto his couch. chan visibly tenses at the question, and you point an accusing finger at him, eyes wide and triumphant. "you do! who is it?"
his ears are turning red now, no answer in sight as he avoids your gaze. inside, you're pushing down the hopeful thought that maybe it's you — no, it can't be. no, no, no, definitely not.
your masochistic nature, however, can't seem to let it go.
"c'mon, tell me," you whine, laying your head onto his lap and staring up at him with pleading eyes. this is usually a normal occurrence, you laying on his lap, but the air surrounding your bodies feels oddly different. he's staring right back, his adam's apple bobbing in his throat, though he continues to stay silent. you roll your eyes. "chan, i'm your best friend for christ's sake! you can tell me!"
"that's the problem," he mumbles, and you frown.
"what do you mean?" you prod, reaching up to poke the space between his brows. he grabs your hand, fingers entangling with yours — another normal thing. best friends hold hands, right?
"it's nothing," he claims suddenly. "do you wanna watch 'you'? lix told me it's good."
"don't change the subject," you argue, sitting up now, shifting so that you're facing him. his hand still hasn't left yours, and you're sitting almost a little too close to him now. "please? you shouldn't keep secrets from me."
he sighs. he gulps. he steels himself. he mumbles his next words.
"it's you."
you freeze, heart pounding in your chest. "what?"
"it's you," he repeats a smidge louder. you shake your head.
"no, no, i heard you. i'm just, i'm shocked."
he laughs, but his eyes remain detached, his body shifting away from you. "we can just pretend that this never happened. i don't want to ruin our friendshi-"
"chan," you interrupt, voice gentle. "please shut up for a second."
he's held captive by your eyes like an animal in a cage as you lean even closer to him. your lips are nearly touching when you pause; you can't contain the smile that threatens to split your lips.
"i have a crush on you, too," you declare before you press your lips against him. you feel him tense for a moment, then he's melting into you, his hands moving to hold your waist oh so gently. his lips are soft, you find, his movements unhurried as he savors the taste of your own.
when you break away, he's looking at you as if you've hung the all of the stars in the sky. his thumb comes up to stroke your cheek.
"i don't think you understand how hard i'm trying not to scream right now," he says, and you giggle, leaning into his touch. "this means you're mine now, right?"
"i've been yours for awhile," you admit. "but yeah, it does."

If you want to, no pressure, #19 with dear Marc fronting, but can contain all moon boys of course. Really anything you wanna do is fine with me. Just excited to see what you come up with lovely.
Problems (Marc Spector x reader)
Masterlist | Spotify Playlist | Want to be Tagged?
A/N: Melodyyyyyy hehe I love me some heated Marc Spector content too. Thanks for the ask lovelyy!
Warnings: MDNI, Making out, dry humping (if ya squint mate), hair pulling, swearing, tiny mention of Wendy (im so fucking sorry y’all)
Word Count: 1.5k
☾ .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
Marc Spector wasn’t in the best of moods.
He took a deep breath and held his textbooks close, counting random numbers to clear his head as the elevator brought him to his floor. He was exhausted, tired from the failing classes and yelling at the lecturers. He just wanted to dump all of his books onto his bed, grab his gym bag and release some steam in the gym. That was all he had to do to make him relax.
Simple right?
Wrong.
Marc’s other problem lived in his dorm with him and that problem was you. It had been weeks and the both of you had been trying hard to move out of the dorm, but everytime you did, there was a scheduling error that could not be solved which only made the both of you more frustrated.
You had created a set of rules for the both of you to follow and you followed them religiously. You were the quiet studious girl while Marc was the unbothered jock who did not give a shit about any rule. That’s why the both of you didn’t get along. In fact, you hated each other with a burning passion, passion so fiery that you both could probably blow up the entire row of dorm rooms if you wanted to.
Marc rolled his eyes and set his hand on the doorknob, knowing what awaited him on the other side. He flung the door open and you turned to glare at him from your desk.
“Not a word, I don’t want to hear it.” Marc says before you even open your mouth.
“You fucked a chick here when I was at the library! Are you out of your goddamn mind, Spector?” you stood up and slammed your textbook close.
“I said, I don’t want to hear it.” he pushed again, not wanting to look at you as he shoved things into his gym bag at a rapid pace.
“You think it's fun to chase someone out of my dorm at 3 am in the fucking morning? You really think the world revolves around you huh?” your rage was boiling over you and you wanted nothing more than to beat Marc Spector to pulp with your bare hands.
You were tired with the way he waltzed around as if he owned the place, as if he could just do as he pleased wherever and whenever. He was moving around the room, mumbling the word “deodorant” and tossing things around.
“Yea I fucked that chick, so what? What are you gonna do about it? All you do is sleep over your books and worry about studying, what am I supposed to do about it?” He grumbles back, pulling his pillow to check his bed for the missing item.
You stared at him, appalled at his stupidity.
“I don’t even do anything to you Spector, why are you doing this to make my life so fucking miserable?” you yell, unable to control yourself any longer.
To your shock, Marc slides his hand across his desk, causing his pencil holder to go flying across the room, making you gasp. He screams in frustration, and slumps onto his bed with his face in his hands, unable to stop the angry tears from leaving his eyes. He barely let himself take a breath before he looked at you, his head yearning to say sorry but his mouth twisting into a wild scowl worthy of his own mother’s anger. Your heart drops to your stomach as you take note of the tears staining his face, unable to move a muscle as he slowly lifts himself from off his bed.
“You wanna talk about the things you do to me? Huh?” he says coldly prowling closer to you, like a panther about to strike.
You find the brain power to make your legs move but you stumble into your chair, catching yourself at the last second. You were confused. What the hell could you have possibly done to Marc that you were unaware about?
“You, you’re the one who makes me miserable, not the other way around, so please don’t tell me that I am anywhere close to making your life agonisingly painful.” he growled through gritted teeth.
He was getting closer now, you could see the angry vein popping from his neck.
“You wanna talk about how you pull my head right out of a lesson and into all the things I would do to you?” your eyes widened slightly and your ears perked up at the way his voice dropped slightly.
“You wanna talk about how I catch myself watching you when you slowly rub your makeup off your face and do that little smile when you’re done wishing that I could be the cause of that smile?”
Butterflies took over and began their assault on every inch of your body, sending an array of goosebumps up your spine.
“You wanna talk about how I sometimes make the mistake of looking at you when you’re fast asleep, wishing that that pillow you hug between your legs was me instead?”
He was so close to the point that you could see minuscule tear drops clinging to his beautiful lashes.
“You wanna talk about how much I would do just to feel your lips against mine?”
The last line came out as a whisper, almost as if Marc didn’t want to admit it, almost as if it was a secret too blasphemous that he would rather pay whatever price he had to pay in hell rather than say it directly to your face. But it was too late, he had already done it.
You were surprised that your anger flared harder through your body, almost like a rush of adrenalin as you stared into Marc Spector’s wrathful brown eyes. Your hand shot forward and you grabbed him by the collar of his soft hoodie and you pulled him with all your strength, surprising him and making him stumble into you.
“If you’re so fucking desperate then just kiss me, you fool!” you spat, watching at the exact second when the air in the room changed to something that was out of your control.
Marc closes the gap between the both of you in an instant, sweeping you off your feet as his lips came crashing against yours. His hands gripped at your hips hard before coiling around your waist and pulling you ever so close, crushing every bone that existed in your body. You moan into the kiss, your arm looped itself around his neck and your free hand combs up his curls for purchase, pulling hard as Marc deepens the kiss, licking into your mouth with enough fervour to turn you into mush, almost as if he was begging you to let him be mad at you.
Once Marc Spector got a taste of you, he couldn’t stop. His hands moved quickly and almost fluidly, snaking under your sweatshirt to feel your skin. Only when you pressed harder against him did he slide his hand to squeeze one of your breasts, nipping at your bottom lip at the same time and making you whine his name and breathe hard against his face.
“Fuck I want to hear that again.” he said pushing you towards and down onto your bed.
His lips met yours more carefully this time and you could feel him keening into your touch as you slid your own hands up his hoodie and pressed your palms against his broad chest. You broke off the kiss and pushed him down instead, the vexation you felt against him slowly morphing into a confidence that you’d never thought you had as you straddled his waist. You brought your hand back up to the back of his head and pulled on his curls once more, making him arch back with a moan, exposing his neck for you to devour.
You started your assault on his neck, kissing, biting and sucking in a pattern that had him writhing against you, grinding his hips up to meet yours. His hands couldn’t seem to let go of you, as if he was absolutely hopeless without the feeling of you. All of his frustrations melted away and were replaced with a soft feeling of needing to float away from all his problems with you.
Once you were satisfied with the litter of marks you had left on him, you gave him one last, softer peck on his lips and slotted your face in the space between his neck and shoulder, catching your breath as you relaxed onto his body, covering him like a weighted blanket. You only came to your senses once you felt Marc’s hand in your hair, softly brushing through each strand with his fingers. Your hand found his and you laced your fingers with his, cherishing the warmth that he provided.
“Your deodorant is on your bedside table, by the way.” you murmur into the shell of his ear making him scoff softly.
Marc definitely didn’t need the gym today, all he needed was you.

Kalim 8
Summary: You’re relaxing after hours, reclined with your feet on another chair when Kalim comes to you. He’s quite a bit bolder than usual. What a nice change of pace.
(Hehehehehehe be sure to give me your thoughts on this one. Be it in reblog tags or just flooding my inbox.)
It was a nice night to be relaxing after a hard day’s work. Lately, you’ve made it a habit to always leave the cafeteria for last, both because of the space and because you have free access to the kitchen and ingredients that are in there, provided you don’t hover the entire stock. You had to, once or twice, to maneuver some of your faerie helpers away cause of the desserts inside, but that was about it.
Your arms were behind your head as you lay down on a collection of chairs, feet relaxing on another. Really, these chairs have no reason to be as comfy as they are but you suppose that’s to be expected in a rich college like this one. The classism is certainly notable with how there are fancy tables with clean white clothes on an elevated space while the rest were just wooden lunchroom tables.
Can’t say you’re shocked. And here you are, arranging these chairs into a mock bed for you to rest your dust clad body on. Will someone notice? Probably but if they decide to complain, they’re only going to get dismissed with a scoff and a laugh. Magic is a naturally messy profession to pursue so to be so bothered by simple dust on a chair would only tell how unsuited they are for this college.
The door to the cafeteria creaks open and you take a peek at the guest that decided to visit you at this late hour.
“A fine night to be sneaking out, Kalim,” you draw a leg up, further relaxing your sore muscles into the chairs, “Aren’t you worried you’ll give Jamil a heart attack?”
Jamil certainly gives you the image of a rubber band pulled taut anytime Kalim is supposed to be in sight but is not.
“Ah, please don’t tell him,” Kalim scurried over to your place, rubbing the back of his neck as though the worries can be soothed like a sore neck, “I know I’m supposed to be sleeping but I just wanted to see you. I can’t get into that much trouble just for that, right?”
“Whatever you say,” you chuckle out, “I won’t tell.”
Kalim tips his head back, looking about. “Your faerie friends aren’t with you?”
“Nope, I’m already done for the day,” your sleeves are still dusted with powdered sugar, “I’m just relaxing here a bit before I lock up and get going.”
“Oh, okay, that’s good.” He gave a sigh of relief.
“Hm?” That’s an interesting tone Kalim took. What does he have planned? “Oh.”
Kalim grunted a bit, as though steeling his courage before swinging a leg right over your hips. He planted his weight on you, landing his hands just above your shoulders. Against the canvas of the ceiling, Kalim made himself the only thing you could focus on. And that bright smile on his face told you he had every intention of having you look at just him.
Close, intimate, and most certainly bold. But, what can you say? You were halfway expecting it the moment he walked through that door. Kalim’s a casual man, always dressed in loose fitting clothing, preferring comfort over style, though he doesn’t lack in that aspect. So, to see him without a sweater, just in a singular layer of clothing, well, he made his goal known.
“Hehe, did I surprise you?” Kalim, as always, beamed. Not a shred of shame in him.
You grabbed his hips, sliding him closer. “This is certainly a nice change of pace.”

(CW for Suicidal Ideation)
Hinata’s breath was heavy as he landed the final move of their act. The tinny music playing from their speakers went quiet and the audience clapped politely. It was always the same song and dance as the crowd moved on with their day. A few of them tossed some yen their way but otherwise it was time for them to regroup for their next performance. Yuta knelt down by the hat with some coins and bills sticking out of it, counting their earnings thus far.
“Hey aniki! We might be able to eat well tonight! There’s like 3,000 yen in here!” Yuta exclaimed. The idea of a filling dinner made Hinata’s mouth water. Oh what he wouldn’t do for even warm noodles not from a cup.
Hinata turned to grab the iPod from its place on the speaker, choosing the next song to play. He put the phone back and turned the volume up a little more to play over the evening rush. The music started and he and Yuta moved in unison around their little stage, taking in the crowd. There were some regulars that Hinata recognized, the businesswoman who was perpetually tired but always stopped for their performances and a few kids who looked up at them in awe as their parents were trying to usher them away. There were always new faces too, of course people traveled across the country all the time or took new trains or moved cities, but there was something different about the boy with the bright red hair at the back of the crowd. His sky blue eyes pierced straight through to Hinata’s heart and made him stumble when their gaze connected with his own.
“Hey, aniki focus! We’re almost done, don't fail on me now!” Yuta whispered, carefully shielding Hinata from the crowd as he regained his footing. Yuta was always so quick thinking. Hinata got back to his position and finished up the routine, eyes looking for that boy he had spotted earlier. He half hoped the boy would come talk to them afterwards while they were packing up for the evening, but when he finally saw that shock of red hair, it was moving away with the rest of the crowd.
Hinata sighed, disappointed. Maybe that boy would come back someday. There was something about him that drew Hinata in.
Someone bumped his shoulder, drawing him from his thoughts. “Hey, aniki, are you alright? You seem out of it today.” Yuta’s hand rested on his shoulder and Hinata couldn’t help but smile. Wasn’t it supposed to be the other way around, the older brother checking in on the younger one?
“Hey hey everything’s fine Yuta-kun, don’t worry about me. I was just thinking about that delicious dinner you’re treating us too~” He playfully pushed back on Yuta, the red haired blue eyed boy all but forgotten now.
“Hey! It’s technically our money so I’m not treating you to anything!” Yuta scowled but the smile in his voice was obvious to Hinata.
“Hehe, then dinner’s on me! Say ‘thank you aniki!’”
---
It was a week before Hinata saw the red headed boy in their audience again. He had all but slipped his mind, but those striking blue eyes were impossible to forget. Yuta was introducing their next performance which allowed Hinata to take a better look at the older boy who had made his way to the middle of the audience. He was tall and what Hinata could see of his outfit seemed ill-fitting at best, along with a headband holding his hair away from his eyes.
Hinata scrambled to his position as the music queued up and let his instincts take over. Every so often he found himself glancing at the red haired boy, trying to see what he thought of their performance, but his face revealed nothing.
Why was he so focused on this one boy? It’s not like they didn’t have strangers who watched them sometimes, and none of them had caught Hinata’s attention quite like this boy. He really couldn’t be much older than Hinata, maybe 17 at the oldest. Was he an older brother too? The boy’s eyes made contact with Hinata’s and it took everything in him to not look away.
Once again however, Yuta snapped him out of whatever trance he had been in and everything was forgotten.
“Are you really okay aniki? You’ve been out of it a lot recently…” Oh how it pained Hinata to see the concern on Yuta’s face. Nothing was even really wrong per se, but Hinata was distracted nonetheless.
“I’m fine, Yuta-kun. Geez, can’t your older brother have some peace?” His mouth ran faster than his brain and he immediately regretted it. Yuta’s face flipped through several emotions; hurt, confusion, exhaustion. It wasn’t like him to hide things from his brother, so why was he doing it now? “Whatever, let’s get some dinner. My treat~”
“It’s our money!”
---
The boy continued to make appearances at the twins’ performances on the street, becoming something of a regular but disappearing before Hinata could flag him down. Hinata wasn’t even sure what compelled him to want to talk to the older boy, but he wanted to say something. He had even noticed that the boy seemed happier and his clothes fit a little better, not like they were just the first thing he grabbed out of a donation pile.
Finally, after almost a month of trying to say something to the boy, Hinata saw him walk up to their hat on the ground and drop a few coins into it.
“Thank you!” He said, walking up to the boy. “Hope you enjoyed the performance!”
The boy froze as if he wasn’t expecting to be greeted like that. There was a slight flush to his face. “I-it’s nothing, don’t worry about it. You uh…you were great?” The boy seemed unsure of how to reply, though Hinata was happy with the compliment nonetheless. Maybe…
“What brings you here? I mean--agh, sorry! I just mean…I noticed you don’t have a regular schedule?” The words were practically falling out of his mouth and Hinata wasn’t really sure what they were doing. “Like you show up a few days in a row but then go three weeks without stopping by at all!” He was just digging a bigger grave for himself! Great!
“Ah uhm…I’m not from around here.” The boy scratched at the back of his neck. Maybe Hinata should back off.
“O-oh, yeah of course. Duh. Are you visiting family or something?”
“Not quite. I really should get going though. See you…later?”
“Yeah, see you later.”
“Hey Aniki, are you coming or not? The food’s gonna get cold!”
“Coming!”
---
It was almost a month before the boy appeared again. In the time between, Hinata had come up with a million different ideas for what his life was like. Was he a delinquent who skipped school to hang out on the street with gangs (how scary! But he looked strong enough to fit in)? Or was he a runaway from a city far away, somewhere Hinata only dreamed of visiting like Okinawa? Maybe he had a bad relationship with his dad and ran away, a thought that Hinata hated to admit had crossed his mind more than once. Or maybe he just passed through the city on the way to somewhere else. That seemed to be the most likely option, especially if he couldn’t come very often.
When the boy did finally show up again, Hinata had to hold himself back from practically jumping him after the performance. Something looked…different about him though. His eyes seemed more tired? Like he hadn’t been sleeping well. Hinata thought of a fight he had with his dad a few weeks ago that made it hard for him to sleep and thought maybe this boy was the same as him in that regard.
Hinata decided to wave him down after the performance, hat in hand (they had done pretty well! It felt heavier than normal and even without counting everything, they’d probably have enough for breakfast too).
“Hey! You look tired, are you--did you want to get something to eat?” Please say yes please say yes please say yes--
The boy’s mouth opened, then closed, then opened again. Did Hinata mess up? Oh he overstepped and now there really wasn’t any chance of getting to know him. Why was he so interested in talking to the boy anyway? Hinata had been asking himself that for a while now and he still had no answer.
“I…I can’t. I need to go.” The boy turned and ran off before Hinata could ask more. He just kept messing up, didn’t he? Maybe he really was just a burden to Yuta and their dad and the restaurant owner. He shouldn’t have been born and Yuta would’ve been better off--
“Aniki! Sheesh, get your head out of the clouds. How much did we make?” Yuta grabbed the hat out of Hinata’s hand and quickly counted out the coins and bills. “Woah! We could eat a whole five course meal with this…”
“Think with your head a little Yuta-kun. We’ve got breakfast paid for if we don’t blow it all tonight!”
Yuta nodded before handing the hat back to Hinata. “So, my pick tonight?”
---
Hinata signed the note, trying his best to keep the tears from dripping on it and smudging the ink. After his blunder with the red haired boy, he hadn’t shown up to their performances for over two months. Hinata was certain that he had messed up and was too forward. He didn’t even know the kid’s name! Why did he think the two of them could ever be friends?
And on top of all of that, Yuta had become more and more distant from Hinata, as if Hinata just existing was dragging him back from his full potential. Yuta would have been better off as an only child and maybe Hinata deserved this life. Thirteen years living with their father, who had treated them as nothing but monsters, blaming them for their mother’s death and everything bad that had happened since, Hinata had resolved to run away. He’d make his way to the mountains and maybe he’d find someone willing to help him or maybe he’d slip into an endless sleep.
Dear Yuta-kun, the letter had started. I’m sorry that I’m leaving like this, but I know that I’m just a burden to you. I’m sorry for that. I wish I had more to say but I just want you to be happy and maybe father will treat you better without me. I love you.
The other letter, already folded and placed on the table, was much shorter, addressed to his father.
Dear Father, I’m sorry I couldn’t be a better son. Please don’t take this out on Yuta-kun, it was my decision.
The less words he spent on that man, the better. Hinata folded Yuta’s note and placed it on top before quietly exiting through the front door.
---
Everything was cold. Hinata slumped against a tree, head between his knees in a last ditch effort to keep warm. Sleep should come soon and he could painlessly move on, at least that’s what he hoped. He barely registered someone approaching him, but didn’t look up.
“Hey.” The voice was vaguely familiar, but where did he remember it from? A warm hand shook at Hinata’s shoulder.
“‘M fine.” The words were barely a whisper. The other voice grunted before walking away. It was another minute before Hinata felt something drape around his shoulders and a cup shoved in his hand. Whatever was in it was steaming, warming his fingers.
“Drink.” The voice said. And he did, the tea was very, very bitter. That voice…
Hinata looked up, meeting a pair of bright, sky blue eyes. That’s where he recognized the voice from. Did he…live? In the mountains? The boy seemed to recognize him too. He was wearing a headband and what looked like very warm clothes that Hinata wished he had. Hinata finished the tea, trying not to focus on the flavor. It helped at least, in warming him up a bit.
“Why are you here?” The boy finally spoke again. It sounded like he was unsure if he should be mad or concerned, or both, but he offered Hinata another cup of tea, which he accepted if only to warm his fingers up. He pulled the blanket closer around his body.
“I…ran away.” Hinata looked downward, as if admitting this out loud was a cardinal sin. The boy gestured for him to continue. “I guess I just…I was dragging my brother down. I’m not really talented at anything like he is and I’m the reason our dad sees us as monsters. He shouldn’t have to deal with a brother like me.” Hinata wasn’t really sure why he was spilling this so easily. The boy was a good listener though, hanging on every word Hinata spoke. Was he shaking? He’d never admitted this out loud before and it felt oddly freeing to say it to someone.
He waited for a response, anything to chase away the uncomfortable silence Hinata had created with his confession. He really fucked up, didn’t he. He should have just kept that to himself like he always did instead of burdening a stranger like this!
“I…” The boy started, barely audible above Hinata’s racing heartbeat. “I’m glad you’re alive.” He sounded unsure of his words. Was he just trying to be nice? Of course he was, how else do you respond to a kid telling you something like this?
“You don’t have to pretend.”
“I’m not. When I saw you singing and dancing…I think I realized something--” The boy cut himself off, the suddenness of it making Hinata look up. A moment later he heard his brother calling out from the woods behind him.
“Aniki! There you are!” Yuta tackled him to the ground, squeezing Hinata like he might just blow away in the wind if they weren’t careful. “You scared me! I can’t believe you’d do something like that!”
Tears pricked at Hinata’s eyes again. “I’m sorry, Yuta-kun. I’m really sorry.” He buried his face in Yuta’s jacket. His nose started to run, from the cold or the tears he couldn’t tell.
“You aren’t a burden to me. I don’t know what I’d do without you around Aniki!” Yuta pulled back, hands gripping Hinata’s shoulders. “Promise you won’t do something that stupid again.”
Hinata wiped the tears from his eyes, sparing a glance where the boy had been. It was as if he had never been there at all and Hinata had just hallucinated the whole interaction. He looked back at his twin brother. “I promise.”
“Now let's get you home and warmed up. Where’d you get this blanket anyway? It doesn’t look like one of ours.”
“I…” The boy had been real, and he told Hinata he was glad he was alive (even if his explanation was cut short by Hinata’s brother rushing in). “I guess I just found it. There must be people living nearby or something.”
---
The chatter of the night club died down for the night as everyone was getting ready to go home. Hinata’s feet were sore from running around, but it was satisfying to be back in a restaurant like this. It reminded him of his childhood working for the Chinese restaurant with Yuta.
Rinne, the leader of Crazy:B who had wanted to get closer to Hinata, and by extension 2wink, slid a drink down the bar. It looked like a horrible mix of syrups and club soda, but one sip was all it took for Hinata to drink it all down.
“Great job tonight Hina! You’re a real natural at this stuff.” Rinne was washing the other glasses behind the bar now as Hinata finished the rest of his soda.
“Yuta-kun and I used to work in a restaurant so it comes pretty naturally to us!”
“That so?”
“Mhm!” Hinata slid the empty glass back to Rinne, who quickly dumped the ice and washed it before tossing the towel over his shoulder. The entire week they’d been working the club together, there had been something bugging Hinata at the back of his mind. “Hey, Rinne-senpai…did you ever watch our shows?”
“Huh? ‘Course I have, vice prez wants us to work together so I’ve seen a few of ‘em.”
“That’s not what I mean. I mean like…back when Yuta-kun and I did street performances.”
Rinne paused for a moment. “Why’re you askin’?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. You just reminded me of someone who used to watch them.”
“Well I’m sure whoever it was is proud to see you singin’ and dancin’ on stage.” Rinne had come around the bar and stood next to Hinata, ruffling his hair. “Let’s get goin’ or I’m never gonna hear the end of it from Niki-kun.”

Cheering on for the SDC pt1
Chapter 6 of A Sparkling Metal Flower
(I'm pretty sure I haven't posted this here yet)
Sebek was intrigued when he heard that there would be a cultural fair. He was part of the Equestrian Club and this would no doubt mean that he would have to put extra work into his training the following weeks before the fair but it wasn’t something unexpected.
What was unexpected was when Deuce, Grim, and Ace both wanted to try and get Silver to join them in auditioning for the cultural fair. “I’ma be dancing Sebek! You should join!” Sebek shook his head. “I may join if Malleus was to but I can not just because you will be dancing. I will be busy during the cultural fair as well. The equestrian club will no doubt be helping out with the fair.” Silver looked a bit dejected but looked at Sebek with hopeful eyes. “Can you, and Papa, and Malleus watch?”
Sebek let out a sigh. “I will see if I can but I make no promises.” Silver grinned happily and hugged Sebek before quickly running off. Sebek hated that he didn’t just have the heart to refuse attending to Silver.
///////////
Silver wasn’t sure where Ace, Deuce, Yuu, and Grim were but he had somehow wandered out to the courtyard and still didn’t see them anywhere in sight. Silver hummed absent mindedly as he looked around trying to see if they were practicing outside somewhere. Some birds started to fly near him as he diligently searched. Instead of finding the other four, Silver found a purple-haired boy that was trying to sing into the well. Silver didn’t want to seem rude and simply watch him as he went about trying to pronounce all the words.
“Dagnabbit. I ain’t able to hit that one note.” Silver found himself speaking before he even thought about it. “Can I try to help?” The purple-haired boy looked around confused but calmed when he spotted Silver. Epel gave a nod.
“Sure. Ain’t you supposed to be with Mr’S though? You’re that boy he watches right?” Silver nodded. “Yeah my names Silver. What’s yours?” Epel crouched down and gave a soft smile. “My name is Epel. It’s nice to meet ya Silver.” Silver held out to Epel and when he held his hand out towards Silver he received a fast high five.
“Hehe! I wasn’t too slow this time like usual!” Epel chuckled. “You definitely weren’t too slow. Here I’ll sing onto the well so ya can hear the lyrics.” Epel began to sing into the well again as Silver patiently listened. It sounded like he was trying to cough up a hairball though when he messed up again.
There was the sound of something behind though and Silver quickly turned to face the direction. “Who’s there?!” Epel called out looking around. Silver waved excitedly when he saw Deuce, Ace, grim, and Yuu before going over to them. Silver picked Grim up just barely and hugged him in his arms smiling.
“Grim!” Deuce looked at Epel nervously. “Sorry to interrupt. We heard singing and…” Silver looked at Deuce confused when he veered off from what he was saying. He and Epel both apologized to each other while Grim was trying to wriggle free of Silver’s arms which he was able to do successfully after a few tries. Grim seemed excited when Epel knew who he was though. “Ooh, you know our names? I guess that means we're campus celebrities.”
Ace, Deuce, and Yuu seemed a bit dejected that Epel knew them from the spelldrive tournament. Silver also wasn’t too sure whether he enjoyed thinking that was a way someone could be known well. It was still really scary to him and Silver had nightmares for a long time about it after everything had happened. It still scared him to think that Leona almost died.
Silver didn’t listen much while they talked but he was interested when Epel said he would be part of the song and dance competition. Silver couldn’t place why he seemed disappointed about it like he wished whoever “Vil” was wasn’t making him enter it. “What’s this Epel? Are you shirking your vocal practice to parley with the pigeons?” Epel sounded shocked when he heard someone speak to him
“Vil!” Silver turned to face whoever had spoken and saw a very pretty man. He reminded Silver of Malleus but if he wore makeup and was blonde. From what Silver had heard Deuce say as he stared at the person was that he was the Pomfiore housewarden. Silver couldn’t help but giggle when Vil called them spudlings. It sounded like a goofy nickname that Lilia would have given him or the one Malleus had for him.
It quickly changed though from a calm peaceful talk to a fight. Epel stood in front of Silver blocking his view some but it wasn't too hard to peek around and see what was happening. Vil was correct though when he said he would turn the others into mash potatoes. They were beaten almost as soon as they had begun the fight. Silver knew that a fight shouldn’t have happened but it still felt dejecting to see Epel leave seeming so upset.
Silver headed off with Deuce, Ace, Grim, and Yuu as they headed towards the gym. He paused for only a second after he swore someone had said something but shrugged when he didn’t see anyone nearby.
/////////////
Practice in the gym wasn’t too hard. Silver wasn’t exactly able to keep up or keep focus on what the others were doing but it got even better when Jamil and Kalim joined in on the fun. Jamil danced really well and helped to make sure everyone was able to find a pace to the dancing and helped show them how they could perfect their forms as they danced. Silver couldn’t help but feel over excited when Jamil offered to continue to help them practice for the Song and Dance auditions.
“Be warned though if you think I’ll go easy on you, think again.” Silver wasn’t sure what he was expecting but Jamil wasn’t lying when he said he wouldn’t go easy. Silver got more breaks then the others and didn’t practice for as long as they did but it was definitely still a learning curb to try and get every dance move down. Every day after they practiced they all would have a snack break and talk some about what needed to be improved during their next dance sessions before bidding each other bye and continuing the schedule the next few days that came.
The day that Ace, Deuce, Grim, Silver, and Yuu were able to complete the dance without any trouble was only a few days before it was time to sign up for the Song and Dance auditions. Overall everyone was proud of what they had accomplished. “You've got all the basics under your belt now. From here on out, you're on your own. Keep practicing for the audition.” Jamil gave a hum and smiled at them.
“Guess we'll be rivals on audition day, huh? I'll still keep my fingers crossed for you guys!” Jamil gave a determined smirk. “Naturally, I don't plan to lose either.” Ace let out a laugh. “Cocky much? Then again, I've got the same idea.” Deuce gave a thankful smile to Jamil and Kalim. “Jamil, Kalim, thank you both for your generous help!” Jamil seemed to have one last moment where he helped the group though. He reminded them that they still had to sign up for the Song and Dance auditions.
“You need to apply in advance to take part in the SDC audition. Rook Hunt in Class 3-A is handling applications. The deadline to apply is the day before the audition. Don't forget to take care of that.” Deuce thanked Jamil again and Kalim ruffled Silver’s hair and gave a smile saying “Can’t wait to see you audition Silver” before the group dispersed.
/////////////
Silver was excited to begin the audition with Ace, Deuce, and Grim. Yuu had taken to controlling the music and helping out that way while the four of them danced. After they had gotten Jamil and Kalim’s help practicing Silver for sure felt determined that he felt like they had practiced enough to where they were ready and able to win the auditions. So much so that when it was time to sign up for the auditions Silver could barely contain his excitement.
He almost started running ahead of Yuu, Grim, Ace, and Deuce in his desperation to get to the 3-A classroom as soon as possible where they would sign up. Deuce and Ace both seemed creeped out by the room. Grim on the other hand was intrigued. “Ooh, I spy with my little eye…” Something caught Grim’s attention. “HEYYY! LEONA! C'mere for a sec!” Grim calling out got the beastman housewardens attention. Deuce and Ace freaked out over the fact that Grim had even called out to him while Silver gave a wave.
Leona walked over to the group and placed his hand on Silver’s head. “It’s nice to see you runt.” He gave a smile to Silver before his face turned to an angry glare as he looked at Grim and the others. “You've got nerve trying to order me around. If you want something, you come to me.”
Grim rolled his eyes. “We ain't even ten meters apart! Geez, some people.” Leona seemed snappy from what Silver could tell. “So, what do you want, herbivores? This had better be good.” Grim smiled, crossing his arms confidently. “We're lookin' for a guy named Rook Hunt. Could you introduce us?” Leona raised a brow, his face still grumpy looking. “Why? What do you want with that weirdo?” Grim looked at Leona as if the answer wasn’t already obvious. “We wanna apply for the Song & Dance Championship!”
“C'est vrai?! Magnifique! I welcome all new challengers with open arms!"
Silver jumped and then gripped onto Leona looking around confused till he spotted a blonde student with a large hat. He had just come out of nowhere it seemed. Like one of Sam’s shadows except less expected and much louder. Rook chuckled when he saw Silver jump.
“Hah hah hah! Did I startle you? Pardonne-moi. I'm simply too accustomed to concealing my presence as I make my approach. I am Rook Hunt, le Chasseur d'Amour. My life's work is to seek out beauty and support it. Pleased to make your acquaintance” he spoke to them. Rook kneeled down to Silver’s height and smiled at him.
The blonde held out his hand to Silver but Leona whacked it away and moved Silver to his other side and away from Rook. “Tch. Speak of the weirdo and he shall appear.” Rook stood up again and looked at Leona, a smile still plastered on his face. “Good day, Roi des Lions. But what is this? Monsieur Dandelion does not appear to be accompanying you for your lunch break yet Monsieur Sleepyhead is?” Leona’s expression seemed to somehow become even more annoyed.
“He ain't with me twenty-four seven. Now get lost, and take these herbivores with you.” Rook motioned for the group to follow him. SIlver walked away from Leona who seemed hesitant to let him leave and instead followed the group to the sign up sheets. Silver was glad that Leona had joined but he couldn’t help but feel bad since it had been awhile since he’d seen Leona but he was still determined to join in on the competition fun.
“Who's Monsieur, uhhh... Dandelion? And Monsieur Sleepyhead?” Rook laughed to himself before answering. “The would of course refer to the Roi des Lions' confidante, Ruggie. Monsieur Sleepyhead is Silver.” Grim next seemed to ask the question Silver had been going to ask which was why he and Ruggie had those nicknames. It caused Rook to go into telling a story about a time he found Ruggie harvesting dandelions and how Silver was often napping with Leona daily.
“He really will eat anything as long as it's not rotten, huh? He better not have fed me those things…” Leona clearly looked queasy after he had heard the story. Grim on the other hand was thrilled by the idea that dandelions were edible. “Okay, but how do they taste? I gotta try me some later!” Deuce looked at Grim disappointed. “How many times do we have to tell you not to eat off the ground?” Ace had that moment to remember that they were there to sign up for the SDC competition.
“Ah! Forgive me—I have a troublesome penchant for derailing conversations. I believe the two of you belong to Heartslabyul?” It was actually kinda creepy that Rook knew the heights 0f everyone but Yuu. Silver even was weirded out by taht. Especially when he laughed and said “As a hunter, I make it a point to memorize the species and height of every student on campus. It wouldn't do to be underprepared, would it?” He looked so calm when saying that. The group managed to get off easy it seemed since they had found Rook. No paper work was needed and all they had to do was go to the Pomefiore ballroom after school in three days.
/////////////
Silver was surprised by how many people had arrived at Pomefiore for the auditions. Grim called them competition but Silver felt the more fitting term would be rivals. Sebek had tried to encourage him the night before by saying he had to take down all the rivals that were there and represent Malleus well. Silver wasn’t too sure about all the fancy words Sebek had used to describe what he needed to do but Silver was determined to win. Cater joined the group not long after they had arrived.
“Ooh, what's this? A2, Silver, and the Ramshackle duo? You guys are here for the SDC auditions too, huh?” Silver nodded and gave Cater a high five when he held his hand down. “Yeah. It’s gonna be really fun.” Silver wasn’t expecting it to get any more fun until he heard Lilia’s voice. “Ah, hello, Catering, Silver. Fancy seeing you here.” Silver laughed and ran over to Lilia who had landed on his feet.
The fae immediately picked Silver up and hugged him. “Khee hee hee! A perfect reaction. Heartslabyul students are always so full of vim and vigor. Silver also always seems to be excited to see me as well.” Everyone else seemed a bit tensed up by what had happened “C'mon, Lils, you're gonna give me a heart attack one of these days!” Yuu looked at Lilia with recognition. “You’re the one who brought us a greeting card.”
Lilia gave a thumbs up. “Khee hee hee... Indeed I am. Lilia Vanrouge, surprise delivery boy, at your service.” Silver wasn’t too sure why Lilia seemed to be hiding the fact that Malleus had been the one to send a greeting card to Yuu and Grim but he wouldn’t reveal the mystery if his Papa hadn’t. Cater looked at Lilia. He seemed interested in why Lilia was there. “So, Lils. Are you auditioning for SDC too?” Lilia gave an affirmative hum.
“I belong to the Pop Music Club, so I would be remiss to sit out on a musical presentation. I invited Malleus to join me, but he declined, claiming he had no desire to be put on display for humans. He's a surprisingly shy boy, you know.” Silver wished Malleus had actually agreed.
He should have asked Malleus if he wanted to join him and audition with the others. They most likely would have allowed it. Cater seemed unsure about that but still accepted the answer. “So! How's about we take an audition selfie as jilted buddies?” Cater asked. Lilia definitely was amused by the idea and gathered up the group.for a selfie. “Send that to me later Cater.”
Cater gave Lilia a thumbs up before he posted the selfie. “Y'know, considering Malleus's reputation... I always saw Diasomnia as a cold, unapproachable kinda dorm. But you're always warm and friendly, huh?” Ace asked. Silver almost took offense to what Ace had said. He didn’t think Malleus was cold and unapproachable. He was perfectly nice if others gave him a chance. It just seemed that no one wanted to.
Cater seemed to be able to defend the Diasmonia dorm at least even if it wasn’t Malleus. “Khee hee hee... A true learning experience is living among people who think differently than you do. Let me provide an example. Ignihyde has a reputation for being home to introverts who mislike having any sort of attention called to themselves. Yet one of their students is auditioning today.” Lilia seemed to be pointing over at a boy with fiery blue hair.
“Ooh! That's Idia's baby bro. It's not every day he flies solo.” Silver was definitely interested in Ortho. He hadn’t seen another student close to his age at all while at Night Raven. Ortho was a good change though. Deuce and Ace both seemed to even agree with him. Cater seemed interested in their reactions though. “Oh, I guess you froshes wouldn't know that story. Idia Shroud, housewarden of Ignihyde, brought his brother Ortho with him when he enrolled.”
Silver looked at Cater shocked. If that had happened shouldn’t that have meant Lilia would have been able to get Silver able to join Night Raven when he first enrolled. Grim had a hilarious looking shocked look that Silver couldn’t help but giggle at. “This Idia guy's got a few screws loose, if you ask me.” A voice suddenly seemed to speak up for Idia though.
“Don't talk that way about my brother!”

kol mikaelson; best friend’s brother pt. 4- illicit affairs.
“and you know damn well; for you i would ruin myself a million little times.”
a/n: ok i lied there’s 1 more part after this. this one’s way more fun than the last part cuz that’s gonna be angst so enjoy. i’m really happy with this so i hope u love it hehe
also: i feel like tumblr has been cutting off parts of my posts?? like my long ones like this so i’m sorry if there’s abrupt starts to certain parts.
the party went above any expectations we had. rebekah danced the night away, tiara and sash sparkling on her figure every time the lights hit them. she made me wear the extra crown, though i didn't object much at her suggestion. i stayed by her side for hours, leaving once or twice to use the bathroom. at around midnight, she opened presents, and we sang her happy birthday. the singing was joyous, full of laughter and cheer. every person had fun. there wasn't violence, or endangerment. though it was noisy, crowded, and sweaty, it was almost peaceful- lethargic.
even Finn had a good time. he stayed to the sides a bit, watching like a wildflower. just when i worried his roots would sink into the soil there, he pushed off of it and walked into the crowd. at around 2am, I saw him dancing with a girl. He looked happy.
Klaus, of course, bothered Caroline for hours until she eventually started dancing with him. it was silly, the way they matched- but the way he looked at her made my heart clench.
elijah was the unspoken supervisor. he didn't dance, didn't drink. he just watched. But he looked content. he was a strange guy.
as for Kol, well...
i saw him on and off. he was dancing with this group of guys he had befriended. I was shocked he managed to find comraderity, but i couldn't help but feel responsible for it. it's amazing the influence positivity and kindness can have on someone.
at around 3am, the party began to wrap up. people had been leaving in small clumps since 1, but now, streams of attendees were piling out of the door. i found caroline, elena, and bonnie to say goodbye. i hugged each of them and thanked them for coming.
bonnie and elena followed the crowd out the door, but caroline hesitated. she set a gentle hand on my elbow, "i talked to kol for, like, the first time ever in my life."
my ears perked up, and i tilted my chin towards her, "oh, yeah?"
caroline nodded. she bit her lip, "talk to rebekah, k?"
my brows furrowed, "what's that supposed to mean?"
she squeezed my elbow and said, "asap, k? he's been undressing you with his eyes all night. plus he reeks of...affection- ugh."
i couldn't help but blush deep red. i rubbed my lips together, "please leave before i vomit." she laughed before walking out the door.
i turned to face the foyer, a cheeky smile on my face. rebekah was at the cake table with matt donovan. they had danced together much more than they both probably cared to admit. she was nursing yet another red solo cup. he had the tiniest blush dusting his cheekbones. it was sweet.
elijah was already beginning to clean up. finn was helping him, a black trash bag in his left hand. klaus had probably retired to his bedroom by now.
and, there, at the top of the staircase, was kol. he leaned his weight against the railing. i couldn't see his face very well in the dim lighting, but i knew he was watching me. when i looked at me, i noticed a smile light up his expression. my heart thumped in my chest, coursing red blood through my veins that was thick with anticipation. i crossed my arms over my stomach, as if i could hide how he made me feel. he could read everything- my pheromones, apparently, the way my heart rate went off the rails around him.
kol pushed off the staircase. he tilted his head, a quiet beg for me to come up there- a dare, almost. my eyes flickered to rebekah, who was bent at the waist, hand on matt's bicep as she laughed. i looked back to kol and nodded shortly.
i had put my heels back on once everyone started leaving, and they clicked against the tile floor as i walked to rebekah. she looked up as i approached her. a loud grin overcame her red lips. she tossed an arm around my shoulders, scrunching me into her side. i slid mine to her waist.
she squealed, "oh, i love you so much, y/n."
"i love you, too, beks," i pressed my head into her shoulder.
she turned, embracing me in a hug. i squeezed back, though her hold was impossibly strong. "no, i'm serious. i love you so much."
i giggled, making a face at matt over her shoulder. he cracked a smile. "i'm serious, too. love you."
rebekah sniffled, "i'm serious. you're the most amazing person in the entire world. you're so thoughtful and kind. i don't deserve your friendship."
did i feel a little guilty? fuck me if i didn't.
i opened my mouth, hesitated. i could tell her here and now. but that would ruin the moment. i knew she wouldn't be entirely pissed at me- but it would throw her world off it's axis a little bit.
so i swallowed it. "yes, you do. you deserve the world, rebekah."
she hugged me tighter, if at all possible, before letting go. "i love you. always and forever."
my chest tightened- shaky gasp slipped through my nose. i clenched my jaw, brows raised from my shock. i clenched her hand in mine, "always and forever."
i swallowed thickly, "i'm gonna go get ready for bed, yeah? is it okay if i stay over?"
rebekah nodded enthusiastically, "we can go get brunch tomorrow!"
with a nod, i turned on my heel and pushed off the floor and up the steps. when i reached the top, i turned left instead of right. towards kol's room.
i didn't knock on the door. i walked in, my breath anxious. kol was sitting on the edge of his bed, elbows leaned against his knee. he looked up when the door clicked shut, a frown on his face. his eyes lit up, though, light brown flecks shining to see me.
i crossed my arms, "hey."
"darling," kol stood. his arms were slack at his side, but i watched his fingers flinch, like they were resisting the urge to reach out and touch me.
i stepped closer, but i kept my hands to myself. "i take it you heard."
kol sighed, "i did."
a deep breath sucked up into my lungs. i brushed loose strands of hair behind my ear. "i'm sorry."
kol waved me off, lazily, "don't worry about it. we were crazy to think-"
"i know," i cut him off. "we can try to be friends, yeah?"
"don't," kol shook his head, "you know i can't do that."
my shaky hands rubbed at my neck, "i know. but i can't just now know you, kol."
"i can't have doses of you, y/n."
i felt sick, hot, sweaty. "i get it. yeah, i understand. promise me one thing?"
kol finally met my eyes. there was a thin line of red encasing his brown, a desperate blow lying within his pupils. "yes?"
"try to be nicer. to yourself. for me?" i reached out a hand, let my fingers wrap around his bicep. they squeezed gently, warm above his touch.
kol tensed up, but nodded. "anything for you, darling."
i shuddered, breathed deeply, and turned to leave. i reached for the doorknob, feeling a ghostly emptiness hollow out my stomach. just as i went to open the door, kol's hands spun me around. he pushed me against the door, gripping my waist.
my back arched against the door, breath quickening with my heart beat. i leaned into him, tilting my head back far so i could see him. my hands caught his shoulders.
kol hesitated, eyeing my lips, down to gm dress, back up to my own flustered gaze. he breathed heavily, gritting his teeth. he resisted the urge i could see lingering on the tip of his tongue.
i dropped my head against the door. "kol, please-"
he listened.
within a split second, he pushed his lips against mine, a fierce kiss, much more desperate than the one we'd had last night. my chest bubbled up with affection, a giddy scream lying just beneath my throat. i smiled against his lips.
my brain was racing, my heart thumping, and i could barely breathe.
but he was kissing me.
—
i didn't sleep. rebekah passed out on the bed beside me as soon as she lay down. i was curled up in an old t-shirt, facing the other direction. i held my breath when she came into the room, as she lay down beside me. i eventually passed out, but it was an anxious sleep, one where i woke up sweating. rebekah was already up.
she was doing her makeup, of course, her freshly washed hair wrapped up in a towel. i wiped a hand across my mouth, finding drool wetting my lip. gross.
rebekah grinned into the mirror when she noticed me sitting up. i leaned against the headboard as she turned around in her seat, "morning, sunshine. you ready for some brunch?"
i groaned. my head hurt. "yes. i need some grease to soak up this hangover."
"you're welcome for that," she pointed her lipgloss at me. "now, go; shower and get ready. brunch time!"
"fine," i slid off the platform bed, feet hitting the cold floor with a slap. i shivered. "but, i am not doing makeup."
rebekah shrugged, facing her mirror again. "i'm just gonna order from the grill and go and grab it. you don't have to come."
i sighed, rolling my eyes, "thank god. i don't want to go anywhere until school tomorrow."
rebekah shook her head, "i'm a bad influence."
i mhmed her, and shut the bathroom door.
as i showered, i felt the urge to vomit. after kol kissed me- well, after we made out against his bedroom door, we didn't say anything. just 'goodnight.' wow a great anecdote.
we had agreed, before the kiss, that we needed to end whatever was brewing between us. but that kiss made things different. it was more solidifying than the kiss we shared on friday. like a lock in a key- but where did that key go? was he holding it? or had he thrown it out the window?
i kinda wished we could burn it.
after my shower, i changed into sweatpants and another big tee. i wrapped my hair up in a towel and slid into some comfy socks. rebekah was gone- she left a note telling me she had gone to get the food. i guess i took a very long shower.
i padded down the steps, head banging in beat with my steps. once i reached the landing, the front door opened. rebekah held up two big bags of food, and a tray of drinks.
"i'm back!"
she was entirely too loud.
i took my drink from the tray and grabbed one of the bags from her. i followed her into the kitchen, where she sat at the island. elijah was reading a newspaper, nursing a cup of coffee. klaus sat at the island, a cup of blood.
and kol was across from him. because rebekah had sat next to klaus, i had to sit next to kol. i eyed the seat and felt kol's eyes latch onto me. mine flickered to his, and a heat beat through my body.
i looked away and sat next to him.
rebekah passed out breakfast sandwiches, a platter of french fries in the middle of the island. i, unashamedly, stuffed my face.
rebekah, forever the talkative one, started up, "so, y/n, are you going to be seeing that guy anytime soon?"
i shifted in my seat, chewing quickly. "um," i swallowed, "probably not."
elijah peeked over his newspaper, sipping his coffee slyly. there was a knowing look in his eyes.
i glanced to kol, who went stiff beside me. did he know the guy was him? hopefully, or i'd have an angry, jealous kol on my hands.
rebekah groaned, "ugh! you're boring. call him up, have stupid, wreckless sex, and dump him!"
i flushed bright red at her comment. klaus snorted into his glass and elijah twisted up a brow. that's fucking embarrassing.
nearly choking on my sandwich, i attempted to clear my throat. "you know, some conversations are not meant to be had in front of three of your brothers, rebekah."
"why?" she scoffed. "they'd agree. right, kol?"
kol took a deep breath; sitting up in his seat, he tapped a hand against the counter. "i don't think i'm qualified to be apart of this."
rebekah waved him off, "sure you are. you're the king of meaningless sex. you've never been committed to a single woman- ever."
i licked my lips, dry from the ironically morbid conversation. elijah snickered into his coffee cup, "little sister-" he fought back the grin, "y/n is uncomfortable with this conversation."
klaus laughed loudly. "hm," he snickered, "i believe y/n is not alone in that feeling."
rebekah flicked her wrist lazily, "you're all annoying. you talk about whatever you want, whenever you want. and suddenly when i do it-"
"rebekah," i interrupted, voice tired, "i think i want to go home now."
she narrowed her eyes, searching my face. "you okay?"
i shook my head lightly, "i'm just feeling sick. from last night. sorry."
she bounced off the stool, onto her feet. "oh, no that's okay. don't apologize. are you okay? do you want some blood?"
i cringed, "ah, no. that's okay. im sure i can handle a hangover without magical healing properties."
klaus snickered again. he had a dry sense of humor, i noticed.
rebekah nudged kol as she rounded the island counter, "can i take your car?"
he peered at her, "are you kidding me? fuck off, beks."
rebekah elbowed him in the side, "come on!"
"no! you've crashed three cars in your life and you were daggered three years after they were even invented!" kol argued.
i slid off the bar stool. she looked to klaus and elijah, who both shook their heads. "no," klaus shortly spoke. "not taking mine."
kol glanced at me, an idea on his lips. "i can take her home."
rebekah rolled her eyes, "whatever. come, y/n, let's get your bag."
she walked out of the kitchen. i hesitated as kol looked up to me. he nodded once, tight lipped smile on his mouth. i smiled half-heartedly.
elijah met my eyes as i walked out of the kitchen and he tilted his chin expectantly. fuck off, elijah, why do you always have to be right?
—
"who's the guy?"
i was watching the woods of mystic fall roll past by vision. it was a rainy day, surprisingly, and the cloudy sky painted the air a tinted gray. i usually liked rainy weather, but even this was gloomy to me.
my head turned to kol. he was staring out the windshield, focused on the road. but his knuckles were white on the steering wheel. i furrowed my brows, "what?"
"the guy rebekah was talking about. who is he?" kol took a deep breath.
i could see him restraining his anger, trying to be mindful of his emotions. i felt a little proud of him. though i laughed at the question and kol glanced at me. "why're you laughing?"
i turned my knees towards him, showing him my focus. "because you're the guy."
kol scrunched his nose, absolutely confused. "what?"
"i had to make up excuses this week to see you, so i pretended like i was going on dates with this guy. you're the guy," i laughed again.
kol's shoulders visibly relaxed. his grip on the wheel loosened, "fuck me."
i shook my head. "it's okay. common mistake."
kol thought for a moment, head tilting from the weight of his thoughts. "well, how detailed was this cover story? why was she making a big deal about you hooking up with this guy- me, i guess, ha."
my cheeks turned a little red. "pretty detailed, i think. she asked why i was going to stop seeing him and i told her...that- he's toxic."
kol glared at me. "thanks."
"well," i defended, "you kinda are. as cringey as it is to say this, you are a bad boy."
"and her anecdote was for you to sleep with me? to be dangerous for once?" he chortled.
i nodded, "she thinks i'm too cookie cutter."
he replied with a shrug, "i don't disagree with her."
"thanks for your unwanted opinion."
kol rose a hand in defense, "well, you are. plus, i'd get laid, darling."
i reached forward and shoved his shoulder. he leaned away from my touch, but i managed to get him. we laughed at the exchange.
"you know that's not going to be happening."
kol went quiet. "i know."
last night sunk back into our skin, into the tense air between us. stopping it was difficult- as we had proven with that kiss. but we needed to be strong, responsible adults.
the rest of the ride was silent. an uncomfortable, desperate silent. i could hear kol's breath- it was ragged at one point, like he was growing anger. then, it became deep, slow, from his diaphragm. he was focusing on control.
when we reached my house, he opened the car for me, and led me to my front door. i went to open it, but hesitated, and turned to him.
"kol?" i spoke.
he looked up from his shoes, "hm?"
i frowned deeply, face sunken with hopeless greed. i dropped my book bag, and opened my arms. he fell into my embrace, wrapping his fingers around my back. the clutched at my hoodie, selfish but needy. i twisted mine at the nape of his neck, in his hair. it was more than just a friendly hug.
he pulled back slightly, nudging his nose uo my neck, and to my cheek. i pressed a lazy kiss on his cheek as it dragged past my face, and one more to his lips. he pressed against me, kissing back.
what the fuck is wrong with us?
—
i didn’t see kol again until wednesday.
when i went up to my room, after our third illicit embrace, i lay in bed, staring at his contact in my phone. my thumb hovered over the button, over the possibility of hearing his voice again. i built the nerve to dial his number, until a buzz snapped me out of my fatal daze. rebekah texted me, another thank you for my part in the effort. she ended the message with ‘a+f <3.’
when my eyes scanned over her words, i tossed my phone to the other end of my bed. i tugged my blanket over my head, coddling myself in it’s warm embrace.
i showered later, then fell asleep, and awoke to a new week: a monday. i would leave kol and our uncontrollable lips in the past.
moving forward, i went to school with a pit in my stomach.
letting go was never easy. especially when you’d never know what could’ve been.
monday bled into wednesday. after cheer practice, rebekah wanted to hang out, but i had a shift at the grill. i went straight there from school, changed into my uniform from my workout clothes, and clocked in. matt was behind the bar, wiping down its wooden counter. i passed him as i made my way to the stack of clean aprons under the bar.
he waved his free hand, “hey, y/n.”
i smiled, tight-lipped. “hey.”
“that party was awesome.”
my smile cracked a bit at his jockey demeanor. “thanks. i’m glad you came. rebekah was grateful.”
matt nodded. he paused wiping the counter and turned to me, opening our conversation, “good. i had a lot of fun hanging out with her.”
i tied my apron around my waist. “she likes you.”
matt sheepishly shrugged, “i’ve noticed.”
i rolled my eyes at the cheeky expression on his face. “just text her. it’s not that deep.”
i turned on my heel and got to work getting my things prepared for a dinner rush. luckily, mondays were easy, so it was only me and one other waitress- georgia. i worked until 8pm.
when my shift ended, i tugged my backpack over my shoulder and my cheer bag over the other. i had to take out two large bags of trash, too, as well as juggle my small food order. matt noticed me struggling as i walked past the bar and opened his lips to offer to help.
however, a dark voice interrupted his words. “need any help, darling?”
my stomach fluttered, but a nervous juxtaposition tickled my skin. i turned to kol, red-faced from my shift and from his presence.
“what’re you doing here?” i hushed my voice as he neared me, hands in his pockets.
kol took my book bag and the trash from me. “lead the way, love.”
i rolled my eyes. but started towards the back door. kol followed me down the steps, to the dumpsters, in silence. the bang of the dumpster lid falling shut seemed to break our quiet, because he sighed, stuck his hands back in his pockets, and,
“i wanted to see you,” kol shrugged.
i shifted my weight, flickering my eyes around the darkly lit space. were there any wandering eyes? “you shouldn’t have come.”
kol stepped towards me, and i narrowed my eyes in warning, “don’t say that, darling.”
“kol,” i breathed through my teeth, “this is a terrible idea. i don’t know how many times i have to tell you.”
my eyes kept wandering around us, heart beat thumping with fear and anticipation. kol, who was trying to match my gaze, huffed in annoyance.
“c’mere, darling,” he spoke through his deeply let breath.
kol grabbed my bicep, pulled us beside each other, then wove an arm around my waist. “deep breath,” he ghosted into my ear, tickling my hair and the skin on my neck.
within a flash, we were on my front porch. it was the first time i’d ever sped like that. my breath caught in my throat and i choked, coughing a few times to clear the airway. kol kept hold of my waist, and his fingers rubbed my hip comfortingly.
“you okay?” he whispered gently.
i nodded once. “thanks for the ride,” i stepped to the side.his arm dropped. “you should go.”
kol set my back pack down. i clutched at the strap to my duffel, as if it could ground me. he reached out a hand, but i stepped back, further from him. “y/n, please-“
“no!” i spilled out, louder than i’d ever been. “i’m not doing this anymore. i feel sick to my stomach every time i’m around rebekah. we need to let this go. that’s final.”
kol’s bottom lip quivered, and he sucked in between his teeth. his hand dropped, “are you sure that that’s what you want?”
i hesitated, shrugged, glancing to my feet. “you know what i want. this is a need.”
kol nodded once, gulped. “ok. i-i’ll go then.”
he walked away from me, then stopped. his back faced mine, a wall of glass built between us by our frames. i heard him suck in a breath. my stomach clenched. my heart beat thumped rapidly in my throat, just beneath my clenched jaw. i know what we both expected to happen- both of us wanted to break. wanted to turn around and do what we’d been doing- play cat and mouse. play with fire. play each other. dangle a bone we know couldn’t be eaten. the forbidden, illicit apple of us.
i closed my eyes, lashes fluttering against my cheek, took a deep breath, and made myself remember: rebekah. i leaned down, picked up my book bag, and walked inside my house. as it shut, i pressed my cheek against it. it was cool on my skin.
i heard him walk away.
i showered. unpacked my cheer bag. packed a fresh set of practice clothes. i brushed my hair and put it in braids for bed. i fed grim. i journaled for two minutes, but realized everything i had to say was just grossly depressing. i organized my makeup drawer.
i sat at my vanity, an expired lipstick in hand. i stared at its contents, boring a hole through the product. my ears pricked when i heard a branch snap outside my window. heart rate jumping. skin tingling. i knew what- who- it was.
i drug my feet to the window, let it fall open with the small push of my hand. kol stood on the small balcony attached to my bedroom. my brows furrowed up, eyes glazed with powerless desire.
kol looked to me, hands slack at his sides. his lips were parted slightly. his eyes were similar to a lost dog, downturned and pleading. i went to shake my head, hands crossed over my stomach.
but i caved.
i let my hands fall. let him push forward through the space between us. let him grab my face, pull my lips against his. let him kick my baloney door shut as i gripped at his shoulders; let the back of my legs hit the side of my bed. let him push me down into my mattress.
i let him undress me. i let him kiss me. i let him have him.
i let this build.
—
it had been three weeks.
three weeks of;
late night meetings on my balcony. a small cold from the air. midnight car rides to a scenic overlook. parked cars and heater on. a t-shirt in my laundry basket. a new shirt for bed. a pair of boxers on my floor. a shuffle as rebekah entered my room. a rush of adrenaline as i kicked then under my bed. my lipstick on his collar. a tide stick now in his car.
his hands in my hair. learning to braid.
my hands in his hair. my back bent over my bed.
learning that he likes cinnamon in his hot chocolate and he’s never been to a football game. learning he likes to be the one to drive places and there’s a little dinner off of the state route fifteen minutes out of town. learning skipping class goes unnoticed by everybody when i still turn my homework. that kol can play the guitar but only like ten different chords. learning his favorite song is somebody else by the 1975 and he doesn’t really like taylor swift, but he listens to her for me.
our week looked like;
monday blues being cured by him walking me home from work. he’d put his headphones in our ears and carry my bags after taking the trash out for me. the 1975 and taylor swift would play. the night would get cold and he’d give me his jacket. he’d walk me to my door. he’d leave. only to return two hours later, floorboards creaking and fingers slinking across skin.
tuesdays were met with rebekah’s house, a small routine we’d fallen into once me getting tuesdays off work had become a trend. she’d vamp us home from school and we’d study together in the living room. we’d watch a movie and eat too much junk food. and we’d escape to her room when her brothers would crowd the house. i’d go to the bathroom and sneak to kol’s room.
wednesdays were a pattern of mondays.
thursday’s looked like tuesdays.
and fridays were my favorite.
this one was our third football game of the season. kol hadn’t been to one yet. he was waiting for rebekah to- inevitably- skip a game for some supernatural conflict. today was our lucky day.
he texted me at 6:30pm, half an hour before kick off, and convinced me to sneak out of the locker room. he was waiting on the side of the building, sporting a mystic falls timber wolves away jersey matt had leant him. i asked him how he managed to do that, and he just dropped a wink.
“he’s been seeing me around. i guess i earned his trust.”
kol peered around, made sure no one was watching, and grabbed me by my hips. he pressed me up against the cool brick of the school building, pushing his nose against mine as i looked up at him.
“i like this outfit,” he breathed against my mouth.
i shivered under his touch, fingers grasping at his forearms. “don’t get dirty at school. that’s weird.”
kol rolled his eyes. “i’m a thousand years old. school doesn’t faze me. plus, there’s weirder places.”
“oh, yeah?” i giggled. “where?”
kol looked up, as if searching his brain. he met my eyes, widened his in humorous exaggeration, “the slums of london, summer, 1645. sewage wasn’t invented. women wore five hundred layers of clothing. it was hot. that’s way grosser than this.”
i cringed my nose at the description, “wow, that’s so romantic. i totally wanna kiss you now.”
kol squeezed my hips, “oh, darling, what am i gonna do with you?”
my hands slid up his arms, wrapping around his neck. “i can think of a few things.”
kol pressed in closer, humming. “i think i can, too.”
his lips slowly slotted between mine. i melted into his touch.
the game went by quickly. i swapped my cheer skirt for leggings, my top for a hoodie too large. kol’s hoodie.
he met me at the back door of the school. he took my bag from my shoulder, led me to his car, and opened the door for me.
“where are we going tonight?” i asked as he climbed into his seat.
kol started the car, arm coming to rest over the back of the front seat. “depends. where would you like to go, darling?”
i slid across the bench, curling up beneath his arm. kol squeezed my shoulder. i took a deep breath, breathing in his scent. “anywhere with you.”
i felt his heart beat thump faster.
“sounds wonderful.”
he drove for an hour. i played music, a playlist we’d developed between the two of us. the 1975, taylor swift, various other artists dabbled in between. it was a soundtrack that made my skin tingle. it made me think of under-the-cover-secrets and cedar-wood- kol’s cologne.
i fell asleep shortly into the car ride, rested against his side. once the car stopped, kol woke me up with a gentle shake of my shoulder. i opened my eyes, blinking in the dim light of the overheard car bulbs. kol’s hand slid to my hip as he turned the car off.
i looked out the front window. we were on a cliff, an overlook, peering over the mountains of virginia. we’d been here twice before.
i felt kol’s fingers dip up beneath my sweatshirt, warm on the curve of my hip. i squirmed and looked up at him. “i’m too tired to do anything tonight. sorry.”
kol’s hand retracted. he pulled back from my body, brows furrowed. “why are you apologizing?”
i sat up, crossing my arms over my stomach. “cause you wasted all that gas to drive out here.”
kol shook his head quickly. he reached out his hands, taking my face in his hold. “do you think that’s all i want?”
i shrugged, “i thought that- i don’t know. isn’t that what this is?”
kol’s thumb brushed across my cheeks, “this is everything to me, darling. i wouldn’t care if we never had sex.”
he leaned his head forward, caught my lips in a sweet, gentle kiss. he brushed his nose against mine, his eyelids shut. i watched his lashes brush the tops of his cheeks. “you look lovely tonight,” he whispered against my cheek.
i kissed him again. he tugged back softly. i curled under his arm, and he squeezed me against his side.
we watched the stars from the front seat of his car.
i fell asleep.
we didn’t have sex.
—
a week later and it all came crashing down.
rebekah had invited me over for a slumber party after the football game. we spent a few hours in the home theatre, watching another stupid rom-com, laughing at the nonsensical script.
i had more energy this week than last because we’d been mercy rolled by the other team. for all our supernatural abilities, our football team kinda sucked. but rebekah wanted to retire to her bedroom.
i didn’t know if kol was home. i’d heard klaus and elijah moving about. finn was probably sulking about being alive in his room.
kol and i texted a lot. i usually knew where he was. but a small part of me hoped he wasn’t there. i wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to go and see him.
and i knew he wouldn’t be able to resist me.
i flopped onto her bed as rebekah excused herself to go shower. cheerleading, even for a vampire, was tiring.
i glanced at the bedroom door. my heart skipped a beat. but i swallowed my urges, resisting them. i shuffled through my bag and pulled out a book.
the shower squeaked on.
i looked at the door again.
rebekah turned up her music.
the door.
i bore a hole into my novel, the words rushing in my eyes, and dissipating behind them. they weren’t connecting to my racing brain.
i heard the handle rattle and the door pushed inwards. my heart jumped up my throat as kol’s head peaked into the room. i sat up quickly, mouth opening to chew him out.
he quickly sped over to me, clasping his hand over my mouth. i widened my eyes at his closeness, his breath fanning over my face. my head tilted, threatening to discipline him for his bold touches. kol grinned at me, winked, and- next thing i knew- we were in his bedroom.
i let out a held breath as i settled onto my feet. kol had his hands wrapped around ny hips. his bed lay behind me, sheets messy from sleep.
“kol! what the fuck?” i shoved him away, head spinning.
kol laughed at the fact that he put me on-edge. “relax, darling. she’s not going to hear anything.”
everything came crashing down within the span of mere seconds. the door behind kol flew opened, creaking ominously. my eyes shot over his shoulder, meeting a pair of blue ones, widened in shock, then narrowed in anger.
wrapped in a white towel, hair damp from her shower, rebekah crossed her arms over chest. her perfect, pouty lips braced open, an eery sigh slipping through. kol met my eyes, jaw slack, and shoulders hunched up in fear. he slowly turned to face his sister.
“what the fuck am i not going to hear?”

Hi Emily 💕
Congrats on the 1000 followers, you deserve every one of them.
I won't annoy you with my terrible taste in music ... But I love the idea <3
And I'm torn between please make me laugh and break my heart .... So ....
List 1, number 15 and with Thomas. Please and thank you 🥺💕
hi foxy 💛 this is super late but i've always promised to write all the things i have asks for hehe. i hope you enjoy the angst <3
⊱ ────── {⋅. ♪ .⋅} ────── ⊰
It's quieter out here on the back porch. Behind you, back inside the house, you can only faintly hear the ongoing party- the din of people talking, people laughing, music blasting on the speakers, too faint to know what song but loud enough that you can still hear the bass through the glass sliding door separating you from all the noise. The view out here isn't so bad, you suppose. The grass is a little overgrown and it looks like the flower beds could use a watering, but from here you get a decent view of the night sky. The stars are nearly twinkling and there's a story-book-esque wispy cloud drifting in front of the full moon. It's relaxing. You're grateful that you're alone-
But as soon as the thought enters your head, you hear the door slide open behind you and the relative quietness of the moment is ruined as the noises from inside filter out and disturb your peace.
Sitting on the steps of the back porch, you close your eyes and inhale slowly. Maybe it's just someone out here for a quick smoke. Maybe soon you'll be alone again-
"Got a light?"
Who knew three simply words would jolt down your spine like an electric shock, stomach dropping. You would recognize that voice anywhere. You've spent enough nights falling asleep to it's late night ramblings, a familiar warmth pressed along your back, a wandering hand trailing lightly down your side and easing you into sleep.
Ignoring the sudden ache in your chest, you turn to look over your shoulder. Thomas is standing there in the moonlight, his slightly too large shirt slipping a little off one shoulder, his fingers nervously tapping against his thigh where his arm hangs loosely by his side. His back is to the door and so it's hard to see his face, to see what he looks like. Maybe it's better this way.
"No, sorry." You can feel the weight of your lighter in your pocket.
You turn your head and focus back on the yard, on the wilting flowers around the porch, on the scattering of trees and bushes at the end of the yard. A moment passes. You don't hear the door open again.
You do hear the creak of wood as Thomas walks towards you and sits beside you- a respectable distance away, as if you were strangers. As if you didn't know how nasally his voice got when he was sick, as if you didn't know his comfort foods or how engrossed in his work he could get, as if you didn't know he was so laughably bad at directions but it didn't matter because no matter where you went, there was always fun to be had, always an adventure waiting for you, always something new and exciting and-
You stop your rambling brain. There's no point in treading such familiar paths, not when you know what lays at the end.
You sit on the steps. Thomas sits on the steps. No one makes a move until-
Until.
".. how have you been?" he asks, voice a little quiet, a little unsure. As if he maybe shouldn't be asking you this. You wish he wouldn't, truthfully, but just hearing him against makes you shift a little more towards him. There's always been something within you pulling you to him and you fucking hate it.
"I'm alright," you lie. "You?"
A moment of hesitation. You refuse to look at him but from the corner of your eye, you see Thomas slump a little, elbows against his knees. You want to reach out and smooth your hand against his back, maybe scratch a little at the back of his neck and into his hairline just like you know he likes.
Your hands clench in your lap instead.
"I'm... busy," he says with a shallow chuckle. "Feels like I can't catch my breath, you know?"
You do and you don't. You haven't been in his place, but you've traveled alongside him. You remember the jetlag and visiting places you can't actually see before heading off somewhere else. You remember the late nights and early mornings and all the work between them both.
Thomas continues.
"I'm grateful, of course. For the chance to... to live out my dreams. I can't imagine me doing anything else- can you?" he asks with a little scoff. He fiddles with the rings on his fingers and you watch him. "It can just be a lot, at times. It's thrilling and I never want it to end but..."
He trails off. He doesn't finish the thought, but he doesn't have to.
It's stressful. You remember the nights where he couldn't sleep, working too hard, putting himself so fully into the music. The closer the deadline, the more stressed he would get. You remember arguments, harsh little comments thrown at each other- Thomas stressed about the music, you stressed about juggling your own life while juggling his, making sure you went to work on time and called your mother and paid your bills while making sure Thomas ate and got enough sleep and-
In the end, it hadn't felt much like a relationship. You had become a burden to each other and resentment had blossomed between you. Neither of you addressed it, not until it was too late, and you wondered how things would have turned out if you had. If you had taken a moment to talk about your feelings, taken a chance to hear each other out, to listen and grow.
There's a cricket somewhere in the backyard, chirping quietly. The song inside changes and you ca hear the party whoop excitedly at whatever song is now playing.
The silence between you grows.
"I shouldn't be here," Thomas says after a moment. "I should be sleeping. We're flying out first thing tomorrow, so..." He shrugs a little and you fight the urge to shift closer, to rest your head on his shoulder.
Things had fallen apart at the end but looking at him still hurts. Being so close to him makes your chest ache and you remember all the laughter and smiles, all the kisses and touches, all the joy between you two.
You bite the inside of your cheek.
"Just another thing to regret, yeah?" he asks with a sad little laugh.
You bite your cheek harder. What else do you regret? Do you regret letting us end? Do you regret letting me go?
So many things you wish you had said, when you could have said them. But that was months ago and you should know better than to dig up the past.
Thomas looks at you, and you look at him. He's waiting for you to say something, you know it. It almost looks like he's desperate for it, desperate for you to actually talk to him, to hear your voice, for you to open yourself up to him, even if it's just small talk at someone's party.
You look away and stand up, wiping your sweaty palms against your thighs.
"... go home, Thomas," you say, fighting the urge to look at him. "Go home, get some sleep."
He says your name, hardly louder than a whisper, and you can feel his fingers brush against yours. You take a step back, then another, distancing yourself from him.
"Leave. Leave before you have something else to add to your list of regrets."
The noise he makes, small and wounded, follows after you as you head back inside. Even the music blasting from inside isn't enough to drown out the way it echoes in your head.
#ur too NICE i love and cherish u with my entire being#1000 followers is still wild to me. WILD#ask#foxy tag#1000 follower celebration#thomas raggi x reader#thomas raggi blurb#writing tag

Once upon a broken heart trilogy book review
★ Once upon a broken heart
1. Oh my lord he's just so fine. So hot. So sarcastic. If you couldn't tell already I love him. So much.
2. Okay um can I just say I hate one thing about Evangeline is that she has this "saviour I'm too nice" complex and tbh I don't fw that. SPOILERS AHEAD.
There's this scene where they are in a vampire's lair and she sees her ex lover or wtv and she wants to save him and jacks is all THIS IS A BAD IDEA DON'T FALL FOR IT and she obv like the main character she is goes like nooooo I will like girll fuck off he's a changeling nothing good will come out of this and quite obv he wants to bite her and jacks to save her gets his aarse bitten and shes like oh no I fucked up LIKE NO SHIT SHERLOCK YOU'RE SAVIOUR COMPLEX IS SHOWING but yea thas one thing that ticked me off.
SPOILERS ENDED.
3. Okay this book got me Outta my reading slump and it's like 300 pages so it's short and I finished it in 4 hrs so like I'd recommend this if you're like in a mood for a quick read.
4. The plot twists are twisting and it's so good with like the most shocking pcs of information and the way Evangeline pieces things together and it's just like damn everything's clicking now.
5. Lastly the " little " in front of the fox gets to me but the age gap is gapping ( iykyk ). Altho I think the book should have been lengthier considering the amt of things going on so it could be more descriptive but ig it's good bcs it's going so fast?
★ The ballad of never after
1. If I was crazy over the first book , I am absolutely psychotic over this book.
2. Okay so the first book they didn't have that much chemistry but oh god the second book made up for it in so many ways.
3. This is prolly the first book in reading which has the perfect slowburn like damn
4. SPOILERS AHEAD. OKAY SO the scene where he decides that saving Eva was more important than changing the timeline to meeting his love and not getting it wrong this time ...fuckkk that played with my heart like he knew he could never get that back and he was ready to still sacrifice his needs for eva only for her to lose her memories holy shitttt
SPOILERS ENDED.
5. Okay so at the end of the first book and the whole second book I felt SO FREAKING BAD for apollo I was like noooo I can't handle this triangle but thennn Apollo was like hehe I'm gonna be a little bitch so then I am so ready for when he gets killed if he gets killed bcs I need that man's head on the dagger desperately. He pulled the most heartless shit ever when eva went thru hell and back for him.
★ The curse of true love
1. Can I just say this book did not give what it was supposed to??? Like the chemistry just got lesser???
2. Okay the dagger scene was so hot tho. And the inn scene bcs damn.
3. Okay the way Evangeline remembered wasn't like SCENEMATIC enough ykwim??? Like I was expecting so much more and that was so less???
4. Okay one I'm more interested in lala's story??? Bcs genuinely what's going on there??
5. I HATE APOLLO. If I thought I was hating him in book 2 then it was loathe in book 3 for me. He just became so sick and twisted like it made me pukish. Kinda disappointed in the book but the last few chapters made up for it ig so yea
Overall I think the book needs HEAVY editing for it to give what it's supposed to?? Like ig the book is too short for such an intense plot I feel like Stephanie could've taken so much more out of this book than she did. And a part of me was waiting for eva to eventually become badass but she always stays the naive damsel in distress girl which kinda got to me bcs I'm all for super lit characters and a few things remain a mystery in this series. Like he's immortal she's not?? What are they gonna do?? She has magic in her blood and thas it?? They couldn't milk it further to make her super badass?? Overall plot is amazing but the story should have been written better
ALSO SUPER MEGA SIDE NOTE THAT CHANGES MY PERSPECTIVE OF THE BOOKS AND STEPHANIE GARBER
She's a Zionist. I just found that out when I was going thru Goodreads review and now I've got the ick bcs till now I was boycotting authors who are Zionist and to find out you just read a book by a zio just makes me sick to my stomach. I really this is a lie or sumn bcs I can't find any posts on twitter tt Tumblr and ig where it says shes a zio so idk I just saw a comment that said she's a zio and thas all so idk. Zionist authors immediately make me change perspective of the book. Was gonna read caraval but not anymore.
UPDATE did my research and found out she is promoting Sarah j mass who is a very proud Zionist among other things therefore it's an ick either way. Not reading caraval
Overall id give the series a 8.5/10

Do you have any familial headcanons you really like?
Gosh so many.
I really like my version of Munkustrap's family (and by saying my version, i just mean his family in my au).
I am so sorry this turns into more than what the ask was.
tw: mentions of attempted murder, banishment, forceful taking away(?), death, abandonment and dog attack
His parents are Old Deuteronomy and Isis. Isis was a queen Old Deuteronomy fell madly in love with and she was the last of his 99 wives and the one he loved the most (hehe tradgedy approaches). Isis was his sun (even though the Ancient Egytian goddess Isis was actually a goddess of the moon) and she brought light and real love into his life. She wasn't just a fling, like most of his other "wives" had been (ehehe young deut being a player like tugs hc my beloved). She was It for him. Deuteronomy was her moon. He brought her peace and a guiding light to what was best for them (maybe one day i'll give more on that). She had been slow to fall for him, never believing he was serious, but eventually he showed her he was. She had Macavity first, of course. God, he brought new feelings into their lives, feelings of love that filled your chest and made you feel as if you could burst of pride. He was a gifted and handsome little cat, and Isis and Deuteronomy knew he'd do spectacular things one day. They knew they wanted to grow their little family, but they could take their time, right? They had all the time in the world. (spoiler: no they didnt >:D) Then (maybe two human years later?) she had Munkustrap. More feelings swelling their chests, and Macavity was great with his little brother (well at the start, anyway) - a great relief to them. He was delighted to have a playmate! He quickly got bored of the little grey tom though, realising Munk was content to sit and listen to the Elders' stories or watch Demeter shyly from afar. One year later, Tugger is born, and gosh isn't he a little menace, although a lovable one. By this point though, Macavity has become reclusive and secretive. Isis doesn't like it, but she's reassured by the other queens that sometimes older tomkittens bordering on young tomhood can be like this, so she doesn't really... try to step in. Meanwhile, Munkustrap is essentially perfect. Everyone prefers him, everyone. There's already stories about his ability to captivate his audience, even when it's just him excitedly telling them about a bug he found in his ear this morning. This is what's been driving Macavity mad. Here he is, magically gifted, and yet everyone prefers Munkustrap. That's where it all starts to go downhill. One night, about four human months after Tugger is born, Isis returns to her human home and is never seen or heard from again. With great sadness, Sibylla, who'd lived next door, informs Deuteronomy that Isis' owners had moved away, and had taken her with them, not knowing they were taking her away from her young family and her tribe.
Deuteronomy is never the same again. He folds in on himself, Macavity becomes more derailed, Munkustrap winds up with increased pressure on his shoulders, and Tugger grows up a wild and uncontrollable tom.
Then head protector Ramses himself takes Munkustrap under his wing and Macavity fucking blows his top. That was supposed to be his job, not Munkustrap's. He tries to kill Munkustrap. Alonzo intervenes, saving the grey tom's life and as a result of the attempted murder, Old Deuteronomy has to banish Macavity. Demeter goes with him, breaking Munk's heart. (This all happened about ten (10) human months after Isis' disappearance)
It's nearly 2 full human years later, and Munkustrap (who's about 4 in human years) finds himself adopting little Misto and Quaxo, who's mother, Noilly Prat (also Alonzo's mother, who's about three) has just recently died from a car. Soon after (maybe two months?) he adds little abandoned Victoria to his small family.
Then more tragedy strikes. Ramses and Sibylla are killed in a shocking and brutal Pollicle dog attack, and Munkustrap finds himself as Head Protector with three young kittens, no mate and having to choose a second ASAP.
Anyway, time continues on, and it's about a human year and a half before Grizabella's Ball and Demeter and the chaos twins arrive back to the tribe. She and Munk become mates and have Sillabub and Jemima. :)
Anyway, some other family hcs I like are: -Alonzo, Misto and Vic as siblings, Bustopher as their uncle -Jelly and Asparagus are siblings and Gus is their dad -Tumble and Pounce are brothers
thank you again for the ask! <3
