Bad Reputation

Song - Bad Reputation {Adelitas Way}

It's dark as the music begins to play, a simple riff to start out, the sound of a boot tapping on the stage as a dark violet spotlight slowly begins to glow on Zaethaes, who cracks a wicked grin at the audience. "I like to live a little, I like to drink a little, I like to smoke a little….." As his voice purrs out the lyrics, he kicks his boot off the amplifier it was resting upon to walk from one side of the stage, clad in skin-tight leathers, hugging his thighs and riding dangerously low on his hips, golden and violet glitter decorating his torso under a loose, fishnet shirt. knee high boots thudding as he stalks along the stage the other way.

Fingerless gloves clad hands ghost over the strings of his guitar as he trods the other way faster, this time, to lean down and wink at the audience there. "I like to rush a little, misunderstood a little, We're all the same a little." As he comes center stage again, he arches into an undulating motion, lewdly, behind his guitar, his wide grin flashing his tongue barbell, which was glowing in the stage lighting. "Some where just born to be bad!" As his ears pull back and his hips pop with each word, his voice carries through the club. "I got it bad-bad-bad."

As he raised his hands for a moment, encouraging the crowd to join in, clapping his hands over his head with the beat for a moment, before setting back into ripping on his guitar as he stalked from one side of the stage to the other. "Don't tell me what I should do, or say, Cause I wanna do it my own way!" He flicked his tongue out as he near growled out "I don't give a fuck, what you think, what you say, I got a bad reputation~"

He winks at those closest to the stage, swiveling his guitar so that it looks like he's shooting each one with it, while they, as the good little trio of absolute fangirls that they appear, each squeal as he targets them. "I got it bad-bad-bad." As he skips to the other side of the stage his boots pound the rhythm. "I got a bad reputation." His hand lifts to flick that pierced tongue between V-shaped fingers. "and I got it bad-bad-bad!"

His hand jerked to the side, as if shaking the dice, tossing invisible dice forwards. "I rolled the dice a little, I let it ride a little.." He raised his hand to his head, flicking his ears back and 'pulled the trigger' at his temple with fingertip and thumb. "Out of my mind a little." He swung his guitar around his back, still playing, acting as if his hands were bound. "I'm like a lion, I'm chained" The guitar swung back forwards as he rolled with the motion. "I like the finer things." Hand trailing along one leather clad thigh before he smacked it as he spun to strut to the other side of the stage, motioning towards the bar. "Sipping on wine, I'm singing I was just born to be bad!~"

Spinning again he swayed his snug clad rump to the music, tail high and swaying with it, accentuating the curve as he played the guitar -at- his drummer. "I got it bad-bad-bad!" As the song continued his hips were swaying back and forth as he teased the audience and his fellow band members both, his lopsided grin accented by dark lip-stain causing his bright smile to pop all the more in the lighting, which flashed and swirled, changing through various hues of blue and violet, images just phased out playing on the screens behind the band.

"Don't tell me what I should do, or say, Cause I wanna do it my own way. I don't give a fuck, what you think, What you say~" This turn had him dropping to his knees as his fellow guitarist on stage picked up the melody, while he knelt center stage, his body moving with the music as he seemed to make eye contact with various members of the crowd. "I got a bad reputation" His hands clawed along the stage, his guitar slung across his back as he crawled to the edge, grinning at each that dare come close enough. "I got it bad-bad-bad…" A sly grin as he paused for several in a row, leaning in and singing with them oh-so-closely as his hips swayed behind him, on all fours like a true animal. "And I got it bad, bad, bad….. And I got it bad, bad, bad….. And I got it bad, bad, bad….."

He popped back to his feet, stepping backwards away from the edge of the stage as his hands slid along his torso, teasing that sheer shirt upwards, and the waistband of those already low slung leathers just a touch lower along that happy trail. "I got it bad-bad-bad!" The song cut off as the lights shut off, leaving the crowd in the darkness, cheering and carrying on in the band's wake.

HELL YEAH BOI I HAVE FINISHED WATCHING SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 AND I GOT SO INSPIRED TO DRAW MY OLD SONIC OC AGAIN

Here... (I'll upload later with colors)

HAHA I HAVE NOW LOST MY FEARS OF BEING JUDGED!

For today, but, its nice to be confident for a moment hehe

[lesbian-sai]

as one of the biggest kara fangirls on the planet i felt it was important to compile this list of the most entertaining and compelling facts about what i consider to be the most entertaining team of anime villains i have ever encountered. it is extremely long

-they have matching facial tattoos of roman numerals but like in no apparent order. like jigen is 4 but hes the leader and delta is 1 but shes a girl.  

-and they all hang out in this house. 

-theres a mini bar. obviously a kitchen. 

-they snipe at each other. 

-they have a blimp and ipads.

-i have no idea what they even do day to day or feel like they have to raise money for. like rent. more ipads. goo jars to put children in.

-how does making kawaki the vessel benefit anybody else or at least how do they think it does. maybe im stupid but im super unclear on this.

-like jigen kept talking about how theyre all working to achieve everyones goals through kara he had a specific phrase im forgetting but anyway we never went into that? like anybodys individual motivation to join kara

-like what does boro or delta even think they are doing

-maybe im hindered by the fact that again i dont know what theyre doing

-they sit in those egg chairs and amado gives them check ups. 

-they have a legion of robots. 

-jigen is like chill and playful and apparently commands very little respect since delta kicked a table at him. 

-literally his abusive mother moment flashback whatever

-code was just napping on the ground last week but he was supposed to be on ten tails duty which apparently just means crawling over to stare at it every now and then.

-that scene where amado was just cupping jigens head and then he was like hm the calibrations (or some similar word) seem fine calibrations on what his round fucking head what are we talking about

-why does jigen even think its necessary to scientifically facilitate the karma extraction like momoshiki seems to have gotten much farther than him in less than a quarter of the time and no tech at all.

-my fan theory is that isshiki is just an idiot who never had to do the karma before and doesnt know anything about it so amado keeps making shit up 

-hes like ‘were almost in phase three’ and jigen is like ah yes. phase three. um should we put him on a blimp with robots now?

-where was that blimp even going???? did i imiss that

-what is phase three of the karma and why does it involve sending kawaki in a coffin in a blimp

-dont they have that teleportation thing why not use that if you need to move him somewhere idk i feel like there are better ways to do that but maybe jigen really likes like airships idk 

-why was kawaki in that coffin thing like literally for what purpose what does amado think hes doing what does jigen think amados doing

-for that matter why did isshiki choose to be referred to as jigen when hes in idk jigen form like this has just confused me now

-when code kicked that pillar at delta bc he was mad she made fun of him for wanting to impress jigen

-i just loved that stretch of episodes of boring ass ao stuff interspersed with five minute scenes of code and delta bitching at each other and everyone walking around going ‘theres a traitor. we have to investigate the traitor’ and jigen daydrinking. 

-also amazing performance from amado those episodes hes such a great actor but i love the idea of him going yea im going to investigate everybody now and then just looking at everyones stats on his pc how does that hel

-like they said he did scans or something to investigate who was the traitor and the results didnt incriminate anyone but why would they how does putting delta and code in those chairs and typing things into the pc at ALL indicate whether or not they hacked into the airship and exploded that 

-im just dying to know why kara even formed why did jigen think he needed a team to accomplish the karma and then the ten tails was that his only goal i dont understand anything at all but most importantly 

-how did amado and jigen meet. 

-how did everyone else come to join. 

-were they cyborgs already? 

-how did amado think of deltas rocket heels. was it a collaborative effort? 

-why is code so adorable and precious with the little outfit

-if i understand the timeline they got kawaki when he was like 5 and hes maybe 15 now im actually guessstimating all these numbers bc idc but like amado and jign have been hanging out for at least 10 years is that not hilarious

-amado is such a weird character also im warming up to him despite that fucking cream jumpsuit with the bright green collar and gloves oh god just thinking about it im actually losing fondness nvm

-kashin koji is so nothing i love it why was it even necessary for him to be a jiraiya clone

-on that subject why the hell would amado even think to make a jiraiya clone first of all isnt clone technology still supposed to be at least a little bit difficult in canon wasnt mitsuki a whole thing idk

-but like why jiraiya how does this at all help you he didnt even use sage mode not that i would think he would have a genetic predisposition to but still

-i wished we had had more about boros cult thing actually that was fun i really liked that bit

-why the slug thing though

-ok im talking about amado again because im actually very entertained by him this weeks episode bc he completely dominated that scientist guy like hes been here for maybe two days and hes already got this bitch asking the hokage to make him his advisor. and hes like impatient about it hes so bossy what

-and his assistant is this twelve year old girl now WHY that is so funny 

-i wish they had been more accurate to the manga though bc kawaki was way more bitchy to him and he was way more feminist i liked it

-i miss jigen though he was so funny i love the way he sits with the hand on his face and literally how he was just chilling and teasing people

-i just fucking remembered in the scene where delta kicked the table he was like ‘whats the matter delta are you not eating (bc he was eating dinner and she was crankily sitting like 10 feet across from him at their ridiculously long kara dinner table) are you on a diet? dont worry about that your beautiful’ WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT THATS AMAZING

-that other amado and jigen scene was so funny too bc he just held out his hand wordleslly and did like a grabby motion bc amado had coffee and amado went over to their kara coffee cart thing and gave him a cup WHY

-im driving myself crazy

-kara is so funny please be a fangirl with me

-the end

Damirae - Vet AU

A/N: Hi! Welcome to my page this is my first ever Damirae fanfic, so I hope you enjoy!

-- -- --

“Thank you again for what you did for Titus, Dr. Roth.”

“It’s my job Mr. Wayne. Please stay safe. You be a good doggie, okay Titus? You were the best patient I ever had.” Raven knelt down to pat the great black Dane on his head, he barked at her happily before his owner Damian Wayne click his tongue to signal Titus to follow him. Raven looked up to the young man dressed in a fancy black suit as he gave her a small smile. Both dog and owner exited the clinic.

Not turning her back toward the two girls that worked the reception desk Raven crossed her arms over her chest, “can I ask why his paperwork was thicker than what our patients usually sign after discharge?” Earlier when Raven had come out of the examination room to say her farewell to Titus, she found that Damian was signing off the discharge papers, but he had a bigger stack than what was usually the norm. She eyed the two girls, with a stern look letting them both know she wouldn’t like whatever they were going to say.  

“Girl, we all just added some blank papers with a signature box in the bottom for him to sign!” Roxy exclaimed unashamed she cost the young man much valuable time.

“What for?”

Roxy only gave Raven a dumbfounded look, like she couldn’t understand why Raven would be surprised at her actions, “what for? What for? Girl, he is Damian Wayne! Like the hottest, most eligible bachelor in Gotham! His dad is Bruce Wayne, one of Gotham’s multi-millionaire and owns Wayne Enterprises. I can die happy having the chance to be in front of a god like Damian!”

The second receptionist, named Mayra only snickered before looking up to Raven, “don’t mind her Rae, she just one of those crazies calling themselves a member of the ‘Damian Fan Club,’ but seriously you never heard of the Wayne family?”

“I’m not much for social media or newspapers articles, besides the last nine years I have been focusing on completing my veterinary degree.”

“Well now’s a good time to get out then,” Mayra stated, really hinting on the idea that she should get out more.  

“Sounds fun, but I rather focus on my patients right now.” Raven said as she left them both to go back into the procedure room and look at the animals they were caring for. She had entered the room and looked through various folders they had on the counter, she found the one belonging to Titus. Raven opened the folder and reread his report for what felt like the hundredth time.

Damian had brought his three-year-old dog in an emergency, Titus was shot during a drive by. The poor young man was devastated that his animal friend had gotten hurt and didn’t know what to do. Raven who was on duty when Damian came in holding Titus in his arms, took Titus from him and reassured she would do everything in her power to care for his dog. Luckily the bullet only managed to graze over the dog’s shoulder. There wasn’t too much damage, all she needed to do was clean the wound to prevent any infection and help him get out of his state of shock. As a precaution Raven held Titus for two nights to observe him and make sure there wasn’t any other dangers. Now three days later Titus got to return home with his master. It warmed Raven’s heart that she was able to reunite them again.  

-- -- --

It’s been over a month since Raven met the infamous Damian Wayne. Well Raven hadn’t really spoken to him personally since Titus was discharged. One of the main reasons she kept hearing the young man’s name so often was thanks to Roxy who couldn’t stop talking about him. She would speak of the countless rumors the media had written about him. The girl sounded she was under a love potion of sorts, speaking of her fantasies she had on Damian. Immediately, Raven would leave the lobby of the clinic whenever Roxy would start her fantasizing lectures. To make matters worse Roxy had the audacity to build a small little altar with Damian’s picture cut out from a magazine article with pink hearts doodled around him.Of course, this didn’t bode will with Raven, this was a pet clinic and if their patients ever saw Roxy’s little corner of honoring the young Wayne; let just say they would be losing some credibility that the staff took their job seriously.

Raven was in one of the examinations room, cleaning the counters and all the surfaces to have it ready for their next patient, when she heard Roxy literally scream. “Oh my god!” Raven dashed out of the room as quickly as she could wondering what the hay Roxy was screaming for this time. Thankfully when she reached the lobby room, the clinic was empty, today they didn’t have as many patients as other days. “He’s here!” Roxy squealed.

“What’s wrong with her?” Raven asked, she didn’t care that her voice sounded very irritated at the moment. She wanted to make her point across to her coworker that this behavior wasn’t acceptable at the clinic.

“Damian is back. He is just been standing there for over half an hour.”

“What?”

Mayra who had her arms crossed over the reception desk shot Raven a look before motioning with her head towards the door. “Yeah, I thought he was going to come in and have us check his dog or something since he brought his pooch along. But they are just standing there. See for yourself.”

Raven cautiously moved behind the receptionist counter and shot a quick glance through the glass door to find Damian, leaning up against a light pole looking down at his phone, while his dog sat beside him. Damian was wearing a black turtleneck, paired with a dark grey jeans. God he was very handsome. Raven couldn’t help but continue to stare at the young man, as he glances away from his small screen to kneel before his dog and pet him lightly on his head. A smiled crept up her face when she saw Damian give his dog a most genuine smile, before Titus moved in to lick his master’s face. Raven could see how much the young man loved and cared for his dog. This is why she choice this career, she wanted to be someone to help and care for people’s animals’ companions because these beautiful creatures are part of a family. It brought Raven joy to see Titus was doing well, he will live many years to come along his benevolent master.

Raven sighed and looked back at Mayra and Roxy. “Well pay it no mind, we have work to do. For all we know he could be waiting for someone and that just happens to be the meeting spot.”

“You don’t think he is out on a date?!” Roxy practically yelled; thankfully the glass was thick enough to minimize her cry or else Damian could had heard her.

“Why should we care if he’s out on a date or not? Roxy go back to work and leave the poor man alone.” Raven added.

“As member of the ‘Damian Fan Club’ it’s my responsibility to make sure no harm comes to Damian and make sure whoever becomes his wife is right for him!”

Raven couldn’t believe this girl, she raised an eyebrow at her, “Seriously?”

“She’s serious.” Mayra who was keeping quiet during one of Roxy’s little fangirl phase. “It’s actually a thing. The club exists and all, bunch of crazies like Roxy here that want nothing more than to go to bed with Damian.”

“You witch! We take our role as Damian’s fans very seriously!”

Raven couldn’t help but feel flabbergasted at the little brunette, “Roxy, I have heard you speaking of the fantasies you have about him.”

“Well Raven, we are allowed to dream, aren’t we? Besides I know very well I am not meant for such a handsome prince like Damian Wayne.”

“Go back to work, I am gonna go finish up room 3 and 5. Then check on the animals we have staying overnight.” Raven said as she looked back out the door and found heat creep up to her cheeks when she noticed Damian catch her gaze towards him. Quickly she turned around and walked towards the door that led to the examination rooms.

-- -- --

It was now 6pm and everyone had already left for the day. Raven was busying herself making sure she jotted down any new appointments on her agenda. Afterwards the young vet made her rounds around the kennels. There were a few animals staying overnight at the clinic, she pulled out their files and adjusted them on a shelf organizing so the overnight staff knows which patients needed more attention depending on their case. There was a back door the overnight staff used to enter from. Soon enough Garfield Logan, the supervisor of the night shift had arrived; Raven went ahead and handed him the full reports on their overnight patients. After she discussed what they were monitoring in each of their patients, Raven went inside the staff’s locker room and changed from her work clothes to her civilian clothes. Raven finally called it a night and said her goodbye as she went for the front door with her shoulder bag.

Once exiting, Raven found Damian was still leaning up against the pole, she was grateful he hadn’t noticed her due to the fact he had his gaze pinned to his phone. Though Titus recognized her, as he stood up and started wagging his tail. Raven quickly turned around; locking the glass door, afterwards she then reached for the metal folding security gate and pulled it towards her to lock the clinic. Unfortunately for her, this gate was due for some maintenance and sometimes instead of smoothly sliding along, the bottom part of the gate would always get stuck. Today of all days the damn gate decided to mock her and really give her a hard time as Raven kept tugging the gate; mentally begging it to obey her. She cursed under her breath, giving in to her defeat. Raven pulled out her phone and was about to call Gar to come help her with the damn gate.

“Here allow me to help.”

Her finger was about to press the call option, when Damian stepped from behind her. She looked up to him and just realized how his eyes were a beautiful emerald color, they held so much warmth in them. Damian gave her a soft smile, before handling her Titus’ leash. Raven had to blink a few times to remember where she was before grabbing the leash, as the young man before her stepped up and gave a good hard tug onto the gate sliding all the way across the door. Needless to say, Raven was impressed how strong Damian was, she noticed how his black turtleneck was tight and his tight muscles were begging to be free from the cloth containing them. A light blush managed to creep onto her cheeks at the idea of a shirtless Damian. What was she thinking?! Raven shook her head a couple of times to get these wild thoughts far away from her mind, she then looked up to Damian gesturing with her head to allow passage towards the thick key lock. Damian side stepped, taking back Titus’ leash as he allowed her to open the lock and passing it through the slotted area to secure the gate.

When Raven finally locked the gate, she looked up to the man beside her and gave him a small smile, “thank you, Mr. Wayne.”

“Please call me Damian, Dr. Roth.”

“Then you may call me Raven, what brings you here? Is Titus unwell?” Raven asked as she bend down and patted the dog’s head, he responded back her gesture by licking her hand. His tongue was very ticklish that Raven couldn’t help but giggle, she looked up to find Damian was smiling down at her. She looked away from him when she could feel heat worm it way towards her cheeks, she prayed her face wasn’t flushed that Damian would notice.

“No, he is doing well. Actually…” Raven looked up to find Damian was looking to the sides as he rubbed the back of his neck. It looked cute nevertheless to Raven, she couldn’t help but snicker very silently at the very nervous young man before her. Finally, Damian turned too face her and extended his hand towards her to help her stand up. “I was wondering if we could invite you out to dinner? As a thank you for what you did for Titus. There’s this restaurant down the street that offers outdoor dining… I mean if that’s all right with you and if you aren’t busy tonight?”

“Actually, I had nothing planned for the evening. I would love to join you both.”

- -   - -  - -

That was five years ago when Raven had gone out on her very first date with a guy. The sun was coming up over Gotham’s skyline as she looked out the window thanking the universe for the life she had received. Raven had gotten up just a few minutes before the sun was even up, she was wearing a light blue tank top, with a pair of cotton navy blue very short shorts. Just then she heard a stir come from the bed, Raven turned around to find her husband was moving in his sleep. The covers covering him had slipped down his body, exposing his sculpted chest and abdomen, gosh he was so handsome. He was even more beautiful under the sun’s morning light as it highlighted his perfect face. Even after all this time Raven couldn’t help but blush whenever she saw him naked. Her female coworkers -especially Roxy- at the clinic wouldn’t like to admit it but they were jealous that the fact Raven didn’t even try but manage to bag Gotham’s most eligible and hottestbachelor.

Closing her eyes, Raven turned around again to stare out the window as she continues to hear Damian stir in his sleep. Still keeping her back turned she could hear him groining and moving the sheets to the side as he steps closer to her. Damian walks behind her, placing his strong muscular arms around her waist, then pecks her on her cheek before resting his chin on her shoulder. “Good morning Mrs. Wayne,” he says into her ear as Damian begins to trail the tip of his tongue along her neck down her shoulder, just the way Raven liked it. She couldn’t help but blush at how he addressed her. They been married for over two years and she still felt like their relationship was still new to her, exactly like how she felt five years ago. “How long have you been up?”

“Mm…not too long,” Raven answered him as she turned to face her husband and wrap her arms around his neck. She looked him up and down seeing he was only wearing his black cotton boxers’ briefs. Raven then met his emerald gaze she was so entranced with. He gave her a warm smiled before leaning in and placing his lips softly onto hers. 

The kiss was soft much like their first kiss, when Damian had come to her apartment to pick up Titus after she dog-sat for him while he was away on a business trip. He was acting very nervous and after being decline of receiving the payment he was offering Raven for her service. He muttered something under his breath in another language and leaned forward to steal her first kiss. Afterwards Damian confessed to having feelings for her since the moment they met and asked if she would give him a chance. Raven answered him she started developing feelings for him as well, before she could say anything more Damian captured her lips once again. One thing led to another that they made love to each other that night. Since then Raven knew she wanted nothing more than to spend her life with Damian.

Now coming back to the present Raven pulled away from their kiss and lightly trail her fingertips over his bare chest; tracing a scar that was over his heart. Damian mentioned to her that as a child his grandfather would make him train day and night just to teach him self-defense. Some trainings were very brutal that most of his scars came from his own grandfather’s hand. It saddened Raven the least to know Damian has been hurt by members of his own family. All she could do for her husband now was kiss his healed scars and hope any painful memories could be covered by her love for him.

Raven wrapped her arms around his waist, then buried her face onto his hard chest; slowly pushing Damian towards their bed. When he was stopped by the foot of their bed, Raven let go and took a small step back before pushing Damian to fall on the mattress. Her husband sat up giving her a sly smirked she so loved. Raven then moved closer to him swaying her hips very seductively. She placed her hands on her hips before finding the waistband of her shorts, Raven never once let her amethyst gaze leave her partner’s emeralds. Keeping her movements very slowly Raven pulled down her shorts. Stepping out of them she walked over to Damian who reached for her waist and bringing his wife down onto his lap. Raven rested her knees on either side of his hips, she then gave him a devilish smile before she pulled her tank top off, now only wearing her cobalt blue lace undergarments before him. Raven could see Damian’s eyes were filled with hunger and desire, he started trailing hot messy kisses just beneath her collarbone. Lightly leaving bite marks to signify she belonged only to him, which Raven didn’t mind at all. Damian then lightly started kissing the top of her plump bosom, she knew she was playing with fire when she was seducing him a few seconds earlier now as punishment Damian was teasing her. Raven didn’t know how much longer she could last.

“I love you beloved,” Damian whispered as he continues to caress her skin with his lips. His hands were running circles on her bare back, before resting and gripping her hips.  

Raven let out a moan, before grabbing either side of her husband’s face having his emeralds looking into her amethysts. “I love you too, Damian.” She said softly as she pulled his face to have their lips meet once more. Raven felt an immense happiness consumed her as she shared these moments with her husband. She thanked whatever universe or destiny had made their paths crossed five years ago.

She couldn’t imagine her life differently.

A/N:

Hello!! If you reached this far first all… THANK YOU!!! I found many amazing completed fic and ongoing fics here on tumblr and wanted to try my hand with my own ideas to show my love for Raven and Damian. I am currently writing two other fics for a separate fandom but will probably start sharing one-shots of Damirae here on tumblr. I have a couple Damirae fics that are on the longer side, those will be posted on my Wattpad page under my user: s03Rose .Those fics are still in development because they will have a plot line to follow so when I get halfway the storyline I will post little snippets here.

On the side note, I started writing fics for my own enjoyment because I want to be a writer, I have original ideas already started but first things first I must practice my writing to see first if it makes sense and if it’s entertaining to read. Also this was my first ever writing a fic filled with some small ‘smut’, I read fics that were on the mature side and wanted to try my hand at writing these sort of scenes. Again I am no good but practice will aid me. I don’t know when I will upload another Damirae fic since I have work and other ongoing personal projects. Please bear with me but do know I will try to update every second week. Till next time!

Fear of the unknown

Chapter 13

You wake up early in the morning, Turning over to snuggle closer to Rex you get a face full of soft, blond fur. You laugh as you realize that Rex transformed in his sleep again, you know that he isn't going to be happy.

You snuggle into his fur and reach up to stroke the side of his face, he leans in to it and his eyes flutter open, he instantly groans.

"This is going to be a regular thing, isn't it." You can tell that he's annoyed, you stop rubbing his face and sit up as he does the same.

"Yep, it definitely is sweetheart." He looks so grumpy, you can't help but laugh. He starts taking off the shreds of shirt.

"Guess that I can't wear shirts to bed anymore." You find it funny that he hasn't decided to stop wearing them before but he probably hoped that it would stop. Poor Rex looks so grumpy this morning. You then get an idea, there's something you've been wondering about and you think that this is a good time to test it out.

You reach over and start scratching and rubbing his belly, as soon as you do he thumps back on the bed, leg kicking and tail thumping against the bed. You find it adorable that he loves belly rubs, after a few minutes he softly pulls you hands away, definitely embarrassed.

"You know that you don't have to be embarrassed with me, right Rex." He nods, but can't help still feeling embarrassed. He's supposed to be Captain of the 501st, yet he acts like a dog. It's embarrassing.

"I know cyare, but I can't help it." You grab his hand, stroking it softly. You know Rex, and you are going to do your best to make sure that he's as comfortable as possible.

"Nobody cares that you're a werewolf Rex, your still you. You're still the strong captain of the 501st, and nothing will change that. Even if you like belly rubs now." You sit up on your knees so that you can reach and kiss his forehead, he sighs, he still can't believe that he has someone as perfect as you in his life.

"Remember, we have a mission today. So you might want to transform so that we can get to work, I checked and there isn't a full moon due on Ryloth for a few weeks so we should be good." Rex nods, he's glad that there's no full moon this time. He does not want to go through that again unless he absolutely has to.

He starts to concentrate like he did before, and he transforms. It's still really difficult but at least he can, it's also not very pleasent for him to transform back.

"It's good that you can transform on your own now."

"Yeah, but it's still really difficult. Come on, we have to get ready for the mission." You both get up, and change out of your sleep clothes. You pick up the shreds of Rex's shirt off the floor and throw them in the garbage. You both walk out and to the mess, ready for some food.

You and Rex walk over to Fives, Jesse, Tup and you're excited to see Dogma there to. Dogma's never one to eat with everyone, especially after Umbara. Rex told you what happened, how Dogma listened to Krell instead of his brothers. And how he killed Krell and almost got decommissioned because of it, he would have if both Anakin and Rex hadn't stepped in.

You don't really see him very often, but you hope to try to be friends with him. Rex told you that Dogma feel's guilty for everything during Umbara.

"Nice to see you Dogma, how are you?"

"I'm good, it's nice to see you again to." You start eating the food, ignoring the taste.

"Are you going to be cooking some food any time soon, y/n." Jesse asks you and Rex glares at him, wiping the smile off his face.

"Jesse, don't bug y/n to cook." You smile and put an arm on Rex's shoulder.

"It's fine Rex, I'll be grabbing some supplies from Ryloth. If you guys don't mind helping me." They all nod, including Dogma and Tup. You can't wait to be able to cook some food that has taste.

"Yeah, your food is really good y/n. Right Dogma." Dogma smiles shyly and nods, it seems that everyone has tried at least a bite of your food. You're getting worried that Rex might not get any of it.

"I'll make sure to make you all some once I get the supplies." They're all smiling, even Dogma has a tiny smile.

You finish eating and give Rex a kiss on the cheek as you wave goodbye to everyone else. You're heading to work on the ships, your shoulder is feeling way better than yesterday.

You start working on the ships, there aren't to many since there hasn't been any big battles since you joined. Your there for an hour or two before you see Rex walk up. He looks like he's hiding something.

"Ok, what are you hiding?" They all look at eachother and smile.

"We've finally finished your armor, cyare. It's in our room, you want to try it on." You can't believe that they finally finished your armor, your so excited to try it on. You follow Rex into your room and finally get a look at it.

It's all white and looks just like Rex's, the only difference is that it's modified to fit your body type. It's only the chestplate, vambraces and shoulder bells, you know why they added those in.

"I love it Rex, thank you so much. I'll have to thank Jesse and Fives to." Rex smiles at you, he's do glad you love it. He's going to be much happier with you in armor from now on.

"I'm glad you like it, now put it on. I want to see if we need to add any more modifications." You start pulling it on, with Rex helping since it's made differently than his. You love it once it's on. It feels weird but it's not as heavy as you thought it would be.

You pick up the last piece of armor, the helmet. You look it over in your hands, it's just a standard phase 2 helmet. You like it.

"So, how do I look Rex." You ask him as you place your helmet on, you find it weird looking through a visor but you don't mind.

"It looks good cyare." Rex chuckles, he walks around you, making sure that everything fit right. He nods when it does and you take the helmet off.

"I love it, it's a lot lighter than I thought it would be."

"It's because you don't have the full armor on, it's much heavier with all of it." You nod, still excited. You can't wait to paint it, you already have an idea of what you might paint on it.

"Come on, we're almost to Ryloth. Cody's already sent some troopers to check it out." You follow Rex out of your room, with all your armor on. You can't wait to check out Ryloth.

My Girl ☁️💫

▪︎ pairing(s): Oikawa Tooru x Reader

▪︎ warning(s): mentions of bullying but there is comfort!

▪︎ genre: fluff but not really much angst

"Ne~ Ne~ Y/n-chan~" Tooru calls out from a distance. The two have been dating for quite some time actually. They've been keeping their relationship a secret because of Oikawa's crazy fangirls. But the two want to take it to the next step. Oikawa doesn't want fangirls to flirt with him anymore and Y/n doesn't want them to harass Oikawa anymore. Not that she was jealous, it was more of Oikawa getting a little uncomfortable from it.

Y/n turns around and smiles, "hello~" she replies. And with that, the girls around her immediatly stared at her like daggers. But Y/n didn't care because she didn't need their opinions to get in the way of their relationship.

Y/n held onto Oikawa's hand as she walked off with pride. Little did she know, a certain someone was about to take her "revenge".

Sawatori Kaori, the leader of the "Oikawa is God" Cult- I mean group, was furious when she heard the news about her lord and saviour, having a girlfriend.

"What! What do you mean Oikawa-kun was seen with that girl." Kaori snarled in disbelief.

Kaori and Y/n had history together. Not in a good way at all though, endless number of arguments, endless numbers of "but she did this first!" And endless numbers of Kaori snatching boys that Y/n liked. The worst part was, she did it because she wanted Y/n jealous. She didn't even like those boys.

To say the least, Kaori's ego got the best of her.

With all of this, Kaori deviced a little plan to take down Y/n. How would she go about this? She was going to get her girl gang to first, spread rumours about Y/n. Second, get Y/n to lose all her friends and finally, beat the living shit out of Y/n.

Kaori snarled in delight, her plan was perfect and no one is going to get in her way.

No one.

~ the first scenario ~

"Ne! Did you see Y/n-chan today?" Kaori exclaimed as she "frantically" looked around for her. "Oh I saw her with Iwaizumi-kun just now! Are they together?" A friend of Kaori said.

Another spoke, "what? I saw her with Kuguri-san from Nohebi Academy?!?"

As murmurs and mumbling began to scatter around the hallway, Y/n couldn't help but to feel a little confused.

Y/n asked a random student, "yo, uhm, what's the chatter about?" The student took a good look at Y/n and cringed, "ew! You're that slut everyone's talking about."

"What? What slut?" She thought to herself as she walked off. She was getting weird stares from everyone and Y/n felt more and more self consious about herself. What was wrong with her? Was it her clothes? Is she ugly or something?

She couldn't put her finger on it at that moment. So she went to class and decided to ignore those feelings.

~ the second scenario ~

Kaori went up to Y/n's friend group and just slid into their conversation without asking. "Guys!~ Didn't you hear? Y/n's cheating on her boyfriend!"

"No one invited you Kaori," Iwaizumi says as he rolled his eyes, "plus, what she does in her love life doesn't matter to us."

"Yeah but she's dating your best friend. Don't you care about him?" Kaori says, her words lacing with poison.

Iwaizumi rolled his eyes and snarled, "well what do you care? You're just jealous Kaori. Everyone can see through you."

Kaori bit her lip and looked at Iwaizumi-kun in anger. He totally spoiled her plan! Whatever, time to do phase 3! Then she will be unstoppable!

( by the way Iwai told Y/n everything because he

~ the third scenario ~

"Ne Y/n-chan, Yamazaki-sensei is looking for you." A classmate says as she looks at Y/n. Y/n nodded and thanked the classmate as she made her way to the teacher's office.

"Yamazaki Sense-" "Get here you dumb bitch." Kaori says as she appears from the shadows. "What the hell do you want now?" Y/n retorted angrily as she walks backawards.

Kaori's friends went behind Y/n, grabbing her arms as they held her back. Kaori threw punches at Y/n and Y/n tried her best to cover but couldn't do so as her arms were restrained.

"Hey! What the heck?!?" Y/n shouts as she kicked Kaori back. That was the only way she could fight back.

With all her might, Y/n tried to get out of the other girls' grasp and managed to spring free. Y/n punched Kaori on the nose as Kaori screamed, "you bitch! Get your ugly ass back here!" Y/n made a run for it.

Y/n ran as fast as she could to the courtyard. Ignoring all stares and muttering all around her. She thought she was safe.

That's what she thought.

Kaori made her way there too, tailing behind Y/n and pouncing back at her, punching the poor girl ruthelessly. Y/n smirked under all the pain. She knew that Kaori would find her here and she ran here because everyone can see the courtyard.

Everyone could see the monster Sawatori Kaori is.

But alas, Y/n gave out, she was taking it all in as her body started to wear out. Everything hurts and Y/n felt like crap.

Luckily from the corner, Oikawa saw everything. And by everything, I mean everything.

Oikawa pushed through the crowd that was circling around Kaori. He pushed Kaori with all his strength and shouted, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE? YOU BETTER START EXAPLINING WHY YOU ARE DOING THIS TO MY GIRL!"

Kaori, stunned by fear, realising that everyone around was staring at her, quivered in fear. "I...uh- She started it!"

"She started it my ass! If she started it, I would know for a fact that my girl would've beaten you easily!" Oikawa spat as he helped Y/n up. Kaori made a run for it with her gang, afraid of what was going to happen next.

Oikawa was sure to get her screwed over.

~ timeskip brought to you by Miya Osamu and Ushijima Wakatoshi! My all time husbandos! ~

"Ne... Y/n are you awake?" Oikawa softly spoke as he gently stroked her hair. "Huh? Wh-what?" Y/n said in pure confusion.

She sat up quickly and looked around the room. This... this isn't the courtyard?

Y/n looked at Tooru and asked, "what's going on?" Tooru embraced the girl quickly as he wrapped his arms around her tightly.

"Why... why didn't you tell me about Kaori?" Oikawa said as he nuzzled his head in the crook of Y/n's neck. Y/n hugged back tightly, "because... I didn't think she would go to this extent... I'm sorry Tooru..."

Y/n gripped onto his jacket tightly as she silently cried. She has gone through so much... she never had the time to process anything. From Kaori spreading rumours to Iwaizumi telling Y/n what happened and then to the fight...

It has been too much and she couldn't hold it in any longer.

Tooru smiled as he stroked her hair and whispered, "ne Y/n, even if the world was against you, I'd still be with you and I'd still love you. Even if those bitches said dumb crap about you, I'd still run to you because you are my girl. Don't ever forget that."

Y/n hugged him ever so tightly as she felt his warm embrace, melting her heart.

This is what love feels like...

Someone to have a shoulder to lean on and to care for. Someone that has your back no matter what. Someone that will stand with you against any odd.

And that someone was none other than Oikawa Tooru. Her Oikawa Tooru.

"I love you and thanks Tooru."

"I love you a million times more Y/n."

The following (Story for english paper)

Haoyan tiredly sighed. She was worn out from all the tests, and practice she had to do early in the morning and after school. Between Kendo club and Boxing classes early in the morning, she was starting to get more tired than usual.

She brought a fairly large hand up to her face and rubbed at her golden eyes. Her eye bags were getting darker day by day. Now they looked like dark bruises under them.

"Earth to Haoyan."

The honey eyed girl looked up to meet a pair of Brown and blue eyes. The other girl was shorter in height compared to her. Her messy long hair fell in pools down her back. The brown of her hair was illuminated by the setting sun's rays making it appear lighter than usual. How the short almost petite girl kept her hair messy was beyond her. She envied the short girl's ability to befriend anyone she meets.

"Your staring is loud, y'know."

She raised a brow in response to the angry almost, embarrassed snip in her raspy high pitched tone. She could only lazily and tiredly smile at the temperamental girl.

"My staring isn't loud." She chuckled softly, "Besides, your hair is a mess."

She stood up and began rummaging through her bag to find an extra hair tie. She kept hair ties for training in the morning and Kendo club, so she should have an extra somewhere.

"My Hair isn't messy! I brushed it this morning."

Her angry loud voice didn't phase her in the slightest, it just only caused her to smile more. She'd surely get it later from the girl after Kendo practice.

"Don't you have cooking club or Calligraphy practice Sai?"

She turned around, holding a black hair tie between her dexterous fingers.  She knew the girl had a tendency to skip club or practice to watch her practice. She'd say she "Had to protect her from Fanboys, and Fangirls," She did have a lot of fans since she was the captain of the team, but everyone admired her from a respectful distance.

"No. Cooking club is canceled to watch your Kendo match Today and, I don't have calligraphy. Its Friday. I have it on Wednesdays and Sundays."

The short girl foolishly disclosed information to Haoyan of her schedule. She knew Sai's schedule like the back of her hand, but hearing it come from her made the victory she acquired sweeter.

"Wednesdays and Sundays, huh?"

Sai realized what she said, and she fumed to herself in defeat. She would surely get the taller girl back for this, and she knew exactly how. She didn't want to go alone, so this was perfect.

"Yes-but since-. I got dared to go to that Haunted playground by the boys you have to come with me! Because you owe me."

Haoyan raised a brow. She didn't owe her anything as far as she knew. In all actuality, the short girl owed her for all the sweet snacks she buys her with her lunch money. She would agree with the girl none the less.

"Alright. Give me the details after practice, now turn around so I can put up your hair."

The shorter girl huffed but did as she was told. She was happy she had someone to accompany her. She wouldn't admit it, but the urban legend around the playground scared her, like who wouldn't be when the stories around it were about some cult sacrificing people and animals to summon a demon. They say if you knock on the old swing set three times with the pentagram on it, then you'll summon something that will follow you around till you could seal it away at a temple. The article said not to stop after knocking on it till you got to a well-known shrine that was largely worshipped. Then for the rest of the night till the sunrose, you would have to get on your knees and pray. After that, you would have to go to a priest and tell them what happened. He would then have to bathe you in holy water and pray over you. If you feel like you're, floating the curse that was set on you has been lifted. If you feel like you're drowning, you're doomed to die.

She was so lost in her thoughts she hadn't noticed the dexterous fingers of her friend's hand stroking her scalp and down her silky hair trying to detangle it as much as she could. What she did notice though was a group of girls sending jealous glares at her.

Sai finally realized the pressure on her head and tried to tilt her head up. She didn't get far as two large hands straightened her head back out. She forgot how embarrassing it was when she let Haoyan put up her hair. Her friend got a little handsy sometimes when fixing it.

"I'm just trying to get the tangles out. No need to make a fuss. Practice is in Thirty minutes."

The deep tired voice of the tanned-skinned girl startled her, making her blue and brown eyes widened. Slowly a blush dusted across her freckled pale cheeks and nose. This was so embarrassing. Why was her friend so comfortable with displaying affection in public spaces. Not that she was against the warm hugs in the morning and the head pats in passing. She appreciated the hugs more on cold days than she did the head pats. The most frustrating was the kisses she got on the cheeks when people made fun of her freckles. She made sure to hit the girl and angrily call her a Big Oaf. She was thankful though.

Haoyan gathered locks of silk hair in her palms when she was satisfied with her work. Carefully she pulled the short girl's hair in a high ponytail. She softly spun the girl around and stepped back. Her tired droopy eyes flicked over her face as she admired her work. She'd say she did a pretty good job.

As if on instinct her hand reached out and patted her head "You look cute."

Sai sputtered indignantly and smacked her hand away.

"Just go to practice already!"

...

The practice in question was all the same. She wore her usual Indigo Hakama pants and her white Keikogi (Note: A Keikogi is a Kendo Jacket). She stood at the front of the gym hall, drilling her club members through training warm-ups. With every swing of her Bamboo sword, the rest followed her movements. Her cropped shoulder-length black hair was tied in a short wolf tail in the back of her head.

"Alright everyone partner up and get into a line!"

Her tired, sluggish voice rung loudly through the Dojo causing, everyone in the Dojo to jump. Quickly Everyone who wasn't off to the sidelines began to find a partner. She was supposed to be meeting with the Boys Kendo team, but their captain Ditched them and, their Vice-captain was sick so, they all went to go, goof off after school. 

She wasn't mad about it knowing, how Sai's older cousin could be. All he did was play video games she, was surprised he had good grades and became the Kendo captain. He was a hassle sometimes but, she respected him. His challenges to beat her did give her a little trouble as a captain trying to teach her clubmates, but it was a good learning experience for them all.

"Aaaaaaaaaa!"

A surprised scream rang through the Dojo as a sliding door came crashing down.

"I CHALLENGE YOU TO A MATCH HAOYAN!"

The mentioned girl turned her head to see a short toned red-haired male with brown eyes.

"Get off of me, stupid!"

From under the male, a brown-haired girl shouted her, blue and brown eyes sharpened with anger. The male looked down with a huge grin spreading over his pale face.

"SAI!"

Sai groaned at the loud yelling. Why couldn't her imbecile of an older cousin be quiet?

"Get off of me!"

The male nodded and stood up. In a show of strength, he picked her up by the collar of her school jacket and dropped her on her feet which in turn caused him a well-deserved punch to the arm.

"Don't manhandle me, you Dunderhead!"

The red-haired male wasn't fazed, by his cousin's insults. His eyes flicked and stared into golden ones with a fire in his eyes burning with purpose and a challenge. He took in a deep breath and shouted pointing a finger.

"HAOYAN I CHALLENGE YOU FOR THE 846TH TIME! I WILL NOT LOSE TO YOU THIS TIME!"

Haoyan nodded but didn't say a word. She moved to the middle of the Dojo and got into a stance with her sword positioned in front of her. She didn't need her gear to protect her face because she would end this quickly.

As they both got into position they didn't bother saying a word to each other. Their swords would do the talking. 

They waited for a moment their only cue to strike was when they heard a bird fly from a tree, and in a second, as their wooden swords collided with each other creating a hollow thunk that rang through the Dojo their was a loud thud.

Everyone held their breaths.

"847."

Haoyan said in her deep voice sword pointed at the male's face. She smiled when he bounced back up from the laying position he took when she knocked him on his back.

"You are a formidibal Rival Haoyan!"

He pushed himself in a deep bow in congratulations on her win. He pulled himself back up and straightened his back with determination in his eyes.

"I'll win next time! I'll make sure of it!"

Haoyan smiled Lazily, "I look forward to it, Ryuji,"

With those final words, he ran out of the dojo. Probably somewhere to train to beat her.

She dismissed everyone early for today and cleaned up all the equipment.

She ended up being the last one in the changing room.

...

Sai stood outside of the changing room door. She was getting impatient from all the waiting.

'Taking off kendo clothes can't be that hard!' She yelled in her head.

She swung the door open to the changing room and stepped into the large room. She opened her mouth but froze. She came face to face with a bare toned back. She knew her friend was muscular but, she had only seen her arms and legs. Now she was staring at Haoyan's defined back muscles.

"Was I taking too long for you?

Sai jumped and stared into golden eyes that were peering over a tanned shoulder. slowly her face heated up. Had her friend always been this good looking? 

'Say something stupid!'

she opened her mouth and spluttered in embarrassment.

"Wha - are you - you look - I didn't know you had back muscles!"

She wanted to smack herself from embarrassment. She had just walked in on her best friend changing, and all she could manage was a comment on her muscles and not an apology!

"Is it that much of a surprise?"

Haoyan smiled behind her shoulder, her eyes narrowing with her smile. She wondered if her short friend was okay. She looked pretty red in the face. Was she sick?

"I just didn't think someone so lazy like you could have, muscles is all!"

Sai retorted, forcing her anger through her embarrassment. She averted her eyes to the plain walls instead of her friend's slightly narrowed eyes or her well-defined muscles that made her heart skip a beat.

"So, about that thing, you were telling me."

Sai sighed in relief at the question. Her head instinctively snapped towards her friend right, as the other girl was, starting to pull on her clothes, causing her muscles to flex from the movements. She had to force herself not to gawk or reach out to touch her toned back or arms. She honestly wondered how her lazy, tired friend got so muscular. Did she lift? Or was it because of boxing class? She was tempted to ask how much she could press.

"Oh, yeah." she looked away and cleared her throat, " The boy's dared me to go to that abandoned playground with those rumors and urban legends. The one-off. the train station, near the woods with all the occult symbols."

Haoyan made a face. Her nose wrinkled, and her brows creased. She looked disgusted, but she was intrigued to go. She had thought the rumors and legends around it and the fact that there were actual occult symbols interesting. She surprisingly liked scary stuff.

"Sure ill go," she gruffed out tiredly while pulling on her shirt and buttoning it up.

"Great! we have to leave before midnight. I'll pick you up at 10, and we can catch the train. Make sure you bring supplies for the trip."

Sai let the excitement roll off her tongue and into the air. This was going to be a scary and fun experience.

"Well, we should get going. I'll buy you an ice cream if you let me drop you off at your house."

"I can't let you do that," She bit out with a frown staring up at the taller girl.

"The ice cream or taking you home?" She quizzed the frowning girl.

"Taking me home you, Oaf!" she barked with irritation, "Besides, you live close to the school, and I live three train stops away. I don't wanna be a hassle."

Haoyan barked out a laugh, filled with pure amusement. It was far different than her happy, tired laughs, so it came as a surprise. She turned her eyes down to meet brown and blue. Her eyes shone with, mirth and she leaned down and pecked her freckled cheek.

"Not a hassle at all."

Sai's face twisted in embarrassment. She swatted at the girl multiple times trying, to land a clean smack to her head. All she did result in was a smack to her arm. Her hand paused on her clothed arm, and she squeezed it her, thoughts from earlier came back. She only had one question.

"How much do you press?"

The question mildly surprised the tall girl.

"190."

Sai's mouth blew wide open. Now she was openly gawking at how much she could press.

Haoyan snickered and easily picked up Sai and raised her above her head. 

"You're light."

Sai spluttered and resigned herself to her fate.

"Let's just go get ice cream, and I'll let you take me home."

Haoyan sat her down, and they left the school.

...

The two girls stopped in front of a large door.

"Do you want to stay for dinner?"

Sai wrung her hands. She oddly felt nervous.

"I'm sorry, I can't. My mother is expecting me for dinner. I'll see you at 10."

"well, see you later then."

Haoyan hummed and pulled her into a hug. A tired smile graced her lips.

"You know, you should sleep more," Sai said as she melted into the warm hug with a grin.

"I sleep plenty," was the tall girl's tired retort.

"five hours isn't sleeping You, Oaf." she rolled her monochromatic eyes.

A tired laugh broke through the warm night air.

"I'll try and get more so you won't worry."

Sai smiled and pulled away, "Good."

When the short girl was finally in her house, she headed back to the Train station.

...

"I missed the Train."

Haoyan silently cursed herself for not being fast enough. She didn't have anyone to pick her up, and she couldn't go back to Sai's house. She pulled out her phone to check the time. It was 7 pm. If she paced, herself she could make it before 10. It would take her 3 hours to get home, maybe 2, if she was lucky.

She began her long jog home refusing, to take any breaks.

...

She opened the door as the clock struck 9:40. she'd have to make an excuse for why she was late. she closed the door and kicked off her shoes. She was, drenched in sweat from all the non-stop jogging. She could have waited to catch the train, but it would have taken too long.

She entered the kitchen, and her heart skipped a beat at seeing her mother sitting at the table with a plate of food in front of her.

"you're late."

Her mother wore a sad look on her face. Her hair was cropped at her shoulder blades. Her black hair was peppered with strands of grey. She wore a sad smile that creased her lips making the wrinkles around her mouth more prominent. Seeing her stoic mother with suck an expression caused her to frown.

"I ate out with a few club members. I'm sorry I'm late."

She grew nervous as her mother stood and made her way over towards her. The older woman stopped in front of her. She ran a warm hand over her hair, pulling out the ponytail in the process of stroking her head.

"You're sweating."

Her mother's voice came out in a deep rasp. Her golden eyes were filled, with worry.

"I missed the train."

Why did she even bother trying to keep it from her Mother? She was an open book around the woman. The woman would know anything, even if she were seeing someone.

"So where are you planning on going? I know you're hiding something."

Haoyan tiredly sighed. There it was. Her mother knew everything now.

"I'm going out with Sai. She got dared to go to a Haunted playground at school, and she said I owe her. She just hates getting called out."

She let out a snort when her mother smiled. She didn't want to leave her mother home alone, but she wouldn't risk taking her poor mother on some haunted adventure.

"Well, be safe. You should change out of your uniform. I'll wash it."

She nodded and kissed her mother's forehead before running up the stairs. She would have taken a shower but, she didn't have time for it.

She threw on a pair of comfortable grey jogging pants with a black T-shirt and a Black baggy hoodie with a rose on it. In big white letters, it read "Bad Romance." She was a fan of lady gaga so, it wasn't a surprise. She slipped on one of many pairs of anime socks. They were black and had red clouds printed on them. They were one of many pairs of Naruto socks.

She grabbed a small backpack and ran downstairs. She threw a roll of bandages and some food and water into the bag. She couldn't be too prepared.

"Mom, do we have a flashlight and some batteries?"

The woman stood up and reached past her daughter's head to grab what she was looking for. She pulled her arm back with a sleek black flashlight between her calloused fingers.

"Right here, my little Fire lily."

Haoyan hadn't heard that nickname since she was four when her father was still alive. 

Her usually disciplined mother who almost acted like more of a commanding officer in the army more than an actual normal mother was acting a little strange. she was used to seeing softness in her features on occasion when she particularly wanted to be affectionate. Now that she got a full look at the woman who was inches shorter than her, she saw the slight slouch in her shoulders and the dried blotches on her cheeks. Had her mother been crying?

"Mother, have you been crying?"

The woman looked surprised by the question. Her golden eyes widened then relaxed, and she tiredly smiled rubbing, at her cheeks softly with her thumb and fingers.

"When you didn't come home, I got worried. I was crying at the dinner table for the past two hours because you didn't answer your phone. I thought I was going to get a call from the hospital about you being hurt."

Her mother's eyes glistened with newly unshed tears. There weren't many times she had seen her mother openly sad before so, she didn't know if her mother would want a hug, so she just settled on resting a large hand atop her head and slowly petted her.

The woman looked displeased with the show of affection. She expected a hug, not to be, petted like an animal.

"I think a hug would have sufficed."

The disbelief in her mother's voice caused her hand to pause. She nodded and wrapped the other arm around the woman and pulled her into a hug. Her hand that rested atop her mother's head moved down to rub her back instead.

Before her mother could hug her back, a knock came at the door.

Haoyan looked at the clock above the entrance of the kitchen. She quickly broke the hug and rushed to the door and quickly opened it. In the doorway stood a hunched over girl panting.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

The girl got out after she caught her breath. She straightened her back and whipped a trail of sweat from her brow.

"You ready? we need to go, or we will miss the train."

Haoyan nodded, slipped on her shoes, and said bye to her mother, who told her to be safe. 

They made it to the station just in time and hopped on the train.

...

"How did I let you rope me into this again?"

Haoyan stared at the rusted gates of the playground. The orangish-brown metal was hanging off its hinges. The wind had picked up causing, the hinges of the gates to creak.

"You can't back out now!"

Sai's face twisted into a deep frown as she glared up at Haoyan. Her brown and blue eyes filled with displeasure at the comment. She just couldn't believe she would back out now.

"I'm not backing out. let's go in."

Her large hand wrapped around the rusted metal and pulled it open. She was hungry and exhausted. It was only finally catching up to her now that she was here. 

She blinked a few times to clear her blurry vision before pulling the gates open. The gates let out a loud strained creak as it swung open to let them both in.

Sai took a hesitant step into the playground and, she took in a deep breath. She needed to calm her senses so she wouldn't look scared.

Haoyan nudged Sai tiredly forward and stepped through the gates letting the rusted metal swing back in place. She observed the area. The grass was overgrown. There were a rusted swing set and rusted slide in the middle of the small playground. Off to the side was a sandbox. The moon provided enough light for them to look around but not enough for them to see anything in detail.

She pulled the flashlight from her backpack and turned it on. Slowly she flicked it around the area. From what she could see, there were pentagrams on the slide and swing. There was a huge pentagram on the ground drawn with something in red. Was it new? She couldn't tell from where she was standing.

She stepped out from behind the shorter girl and walked forward into the overgrown grass. She moved closer to the pentagram in the middle to stare down at it. 

Sai quickly followed after not wanting to be left alone in the dark.

"I'll go knock on it and, we can get out of here."  

"Yeah, this is a little freaky," Haoyan murmured as she crouched to observe the strange symbols.

Sai took no more time and moved to the swing set. She looked around it till she spotted the pentagram. She hesitantly brought up her hand and lightly knocked on the cold metal three times. She froze with bated breath. When she heard and saw nothing, she let out a relieved sigh.

"Let's catch the train and go to the temple now."

Sai turned around and froze. 

"Haoyan."

Silence.

"Haoyan, are you okay?"

When there was no reply, she slowly moved forward. Slowly she stopped and placed a hand on the large girl's shoulder.

Haoyan fell limp.

"Haoyan!"

She dropped to her knees over the pentagram and shook the other girl. A lump formed in her throat and, her eyes stung with unshed tears.

She was terrified.

...

Slowly Haoyan stirred and sat up, grabbing her head. Slowly everything stopped spinning. The things around her were smeared and blotched in her vision forming, one massive color that mixed. She closed her eyes and reopened them finally, getting her vision back. 

"Wha - What?"

She was finally aware of the hands-on her shoulders. She looked at the person they belonged to and saw a pair of blue and brown eyes. They held worry, but the most prominent was fear. 

"Are you okay?"

A wet fearful voice broke through the silent air. She felt horrible for scaring her poor friend in such a place like this.

"I'm fine. I must have just fallen asleep or passed out?"

She knew it would do little to her worried friend, who wore her heart on her sleeve. She was just too prideful for her own good.

"Well, we should continue. I know a shortcut through the forest. I've been here with Ryuji when we were young. He forced me to come and, we found a shortcut in the forest. It's faster than the normal way."

She would risk it if it meant her scared friend could get out of here as soon as possible.

"Alright."

She grabbed her flashlight she had dropped and stood up bringing, Sai with her. She just hoped they didn't get lost.

...

"Were lost."

It came out bland and, Haoyan wasn't surprised. She assumed after seeing the same tree with a hole drilled in it that they were lost. They couldn't go back because they didn't know the way back. They could only go forward for now.

"I was positive it was this way!"

She stood off to the side as Sai argued with herself. She was just making excuses at this point.

Haoyan thought it was time to intervene when she watched the short-tempered girl raise her fist in preparation to hit a tree.

"Maybe we should try that way?"

She pointed off to the left as she stepped in front of the short girl to stop her from injuring herself.

Sai looked in the direction and nodded pitifully, but instead of cowering behind, she held her head up with pride and puffed out her chest with a smile. She advanced with confident steps deeper into the forest.

Haoyan chuckled and followed behind. She was glad the short girl was in front so she could protect her from any impending dangers behind or ahead. Sai wasn't weak but, she couldn't help but worry for her safety more than her own.

As they moved deeper into the woods, she noticed a light in the distance. She knew Sai had noticed too because her pace quickened. As they grew closer, she could hear chanting? She looked at Sai who seemed to not have heard it. Or was she just too scared to care?

They continued to grow closer till she could make out people. Her body screamed that it was dangerous. Without another thought, she walked right past Sai and squinted in the direction. She could make out red hooded figures. She took a step closer and saw the pentagram on the floor.

She paused.

This was a ritual. She remembered back to the playground. As she got a closer look she saw a body? Her blood ran cold. She couldn't make it out fully but, she could tell it was a body.

She turned right as Sai opened her mouth and pushed one of her large hands over it to stop the words. She pushed her against a tree to hide them and leaned down to whisper in her ear.

"Occultists, we have to go Now."

It exited her mouth in a tired hiss. She could only watch as Sai flinch and nodded. Slowly she dropped her hand from her mouth and instead grabbed her hand to quietly and quickly lead them back to where they had come. They would have to find another way out.

There was a loud snap.

She turned her head back and saw the short girl look down in horror. Her brown hair spilled over her face to cover her eyes that were wide in terror.

She opened her mouth to say something, but the sound of loud footsteps cut her off.

"WE HAVE TO GO NOW."

Haoyan shouted uncharacteristically in her deep voice full of panic. 

They hadn't gotten far till they were surrounded on all sides. She pulled sai closer whipping her head around in every direction to find a way out. She couldn't find one though. She would just have to force a way through, but with Sai, with her, it would be hard. 

She flashed her flashlight in a direction but, she didn't need it with the light from the torches the hooded figures were carrying.

They were trapped and, there was no way out. She couldn't risk putting her friend in danger.

It hit her and, she leaned down and whispered. 

"Grab the biggest stick you can find and give it to me."

Sai nodded and crouched down. Her hands glided over the earth as she searched for something bigger than a twig. She saw one closer to one of the members and reached out for it.

As her hand wrapped around it, a sudden pain in her shoulder caused her to cry out in pain. One of the nearby hooded figures had stepped forward and plunged a knife deep into her shoulder.  

Haoyan whipped her head in the direction and bolted forward. She rounded on the hooded figure and slammed her fist in their face hard. The only indication she got that it connected was the sickening sound of bone cracking.

She almost stumbled as she picked up Sai by her waist like she was holding a duffle bag and bolted past all of them at suck a fast pace, you would have thought she was a professional runner in the Olympics.

She just needed to get as far away as she could.

...

She hadn't known how long she had been running, but she knew for sure she had lost them as she had gotten deeper into the forest. She knew they had followed her but luckily she lost them.

As she slowed her pace, she noticed the soft sobs coming from her arms. She had forgotten that her friend was injured.

"Please, no more running." 

Sai raspily sobbed as she clutched her bleeding shoulder. The knife was still deeply embedded in her skin. Crimson liquid stained her shirt and, she was breathing heavily from the sobs wracking her body.

Haoyan looked around to find somewhere they could rest. She spotted a cave in the distance and approached it.

Once inside, she rested Sai on the floor and turned on the flashlight she surprisingly still had in her hand.

"I need to take out the knife."

She pulled off her backpack and sat down on the ground. She pulled out a roll of bandages and rested them in her lap.

"O- Okay."

She reached out with both hands.

"Bite down on my hand. This'll hurt, and I don't want you splitting your tongue from biting it."

She nodded and bit down on the tanned hand nearing her mouth. She wasn't prepared for the pain to come.

Haoyan wrapped her other hand around the handle of the knife and pulled it out as fast as she could. She felt a sharp pain in her hand but didn't show it on her face how much it actually hurt.

She gave Sai a moment to let go of her hand and quickly bandaged her bleeding shoulder. 

Her eyes flicked over her hand to assess the damage. There were deep bite marks that wrapped around the back of her hand and palm. They had broken the skin but, she wasn't bleeding.

"I'm cold."

Well, that was a bad sign. She must have lost a lot of blood to be that cold. It was warm out after all.

Haoyan pulled off her sweatshirt and wrapped it around her body. She pulled sai into her arms and placed a hand to her forehead. 

She was burning up. 

She grabbed some bandages and poured water on them. She slowly wrapped the wet cloth securely around her forehead. she'd have to let sai rest as she kept watch. They couldn't leave while she was in such bad shape. It didn't help that her phone had no service so, she couldn't call the cops or her Mother.

She'd just have to wait till morning.

...

She couldn't wait till the morning! They had only been in the cave for an hour before they were found. She had grabbed her backpack and threw Sai onto her back with her flashlight in her mouth. She was currently running through the woods in pitch-black darkness.

She could hear shouts from behind her and loud footsteps. Why were they following her? She knew the answer. They were their next victims. They were going to sacrifice them.

As she saw light in the distance she veered off to the right and almost tripped over a fallen tree. She jumped over the tree and continued as fast as she could. Adrenaline was coursing through her veins as cold gripping fear settled in.

She was more scared for her sick friend. She was still running a high fever and seemed to be on a thin line of wakefulness. She hadn't responded since she had fallen asleep. She hadn't said anything even when they were running.

She was so focused on running she hadn't even noticed when her vision blurred. She was so focused on moving her legs that when a pain shot through her leg it surprised her more than hurt her.

She looked down to see a bear trap tightly clamped around her ankle. She bent down making, sure sai was secure before prying the trap open. she moved her leg and let the trap snap shut before grabbing the brown-haired girl's legs again and, she continued to run. She was slower than before because of her injury but she pushed through the pain. In the moment she was caught her adrenaline ran out.

She craned her neck to the side to look behind her. She didn't see or hear anything. When she turned back around she didn't see the tree coming for her face.

She fell to the ground disorientated. She tried to reach out for Sai but a pair of feet came into her vision.

"Oh, how unlucky you are. You could have escaped."

The hooded figure said it with such pity it churned her stomach.

"Nighty Night."

The man laughed a laugh full of amusement and brought something down on her face.

Her vision blurred and, she blacked out.

...

When she finally woke up it was chained to the ground. Her face stung as she looked around frantically. Where was Sai? Her eyes focused on a torch approaching her from the darkness. 

She strained her eyes as someone came into focus. He wore the same hoods as the others.

"Let the ritual commence."

She remembered the voice from before she was knocked out. This was the man who had captured her and Sai. 

From the dark more flames approached and, now she was surrounded. 

She struggled against the chains and yelled at them. She wasn't tired  She didn't feel pain. She only felt Anger. It was so uncharistic for someone as lazy as her. She was always nice to others and never got angry. These people had worked her to her last nerves, and she wouldn't be so forgiving when she got out of these chains.

"WHERE IS SAI!"

Her deep voice resonated through the dark space sending chills down everyone's spines.

"Oh? Your little girlfriend? She's right here."

The man from before smiled. Their leader? She didn't care, he was the one who knocked her out. He probably had even set the trap for her.

The leader reached into the dark and dropped the sick girl before his feet.

"I thought it would be nice to have her watch her protector be sacrificed, to our god!"

The pity in his voice turned to excitement as he opened his arms wide and laughed throwing, his head back.

"YOU'RE ALL INSANE! WHEN I GET OF THESE CHAINS I'LL, PUMBBLE YOU!"

It was a promise on her part.

"Oh, we can't have that. now can we?" He slowly approached her stepping over the sick girl at his feet, "Tell you what. If you can escape here before one of us catches you, ill let you go. If we catch you, we'll sacrifice your girlfriend right in front of you as you watch."

He took a step back.

"The game begins now!"

Was this man serious! she struggled against the chains. They were getting closer.

She mustered up all her strength in her legs and arms. The chains gave way with a loud snap.

She stood and bolted to Sai picking up her clumsily into both her arms. She ran to one of the doors in the darkroom and tried to pry it open.

It didn't budge.

She stepped back as everyone got closer and, she took a running start. With all her strength, she slammed her body into the metal door. The door swung open and, she hit the ground, shielding Sai from the impact.

She recovered quickly and kicked the door shut.

She could feel the pain in her ankle, face, right arm, and shoulder. 

"Now I just need to find a way out."

She pushed herself to run down the dark hall that was only lit by torchlight. There were so many rooms, but she couldn't check them all.

She was about to round a corner until she heard voices approaching. She quickly snuck into a room and hid under a nearby desk. She waited until the footsteps disappeared to move from her spot. She shifted Sai in her arms and pulled her hand away to search for a light source.

Her hand landed on something cold. She felt it up and realized it was a flashlight. She flicked it on and looked around the room with the new source of light. In the corner of the room, she saw her bag. She didn't bother to take in the detail of the darkroom. She needed to get out not admire the place she was trapped in.

She looked through her Backpack and was relieved everything was still there. 

She picked it up and slung it over her shoulder. She didn't have time. She'd be found eventually if she stayed here any longer.

She moved to the door and slowly opened it. She peeked down the hall and stepped out into the dimly lit hallway.

She peeked around the corner and quickly booked it. If she was careful, she could find the exit. She just hoped she didn't have to find a key to open the door.

She hid in a room as she heard more people approaching. She saw a light on the other side of the room. As she approached she realized it was a window. It was just big enough for her to fit through.

She climbed onto a few boxes and pushed open the window. Now how would she get the sick, passed out girl and herself through the window?

She peeked out and saw it wasn't a long drop. She lowered the girl out but kept her hands around her smaller hands. She somehow was able to slide her body halfway out while keeping ahold of her sick friend. She pulled her body back into her arm and slipped through. She hung off the window seal by her hand before letting go and landing on her feet. 

Pain shot up her injured leg. She had to lean back on the wall and take deep breaths before she could will herself to limply run from the building leaving it behind in the distance.

...

True to their words, she was being chased by a group of robbed figures. 

Sai had gotten worse. She was coughing and breathing heavily. She was starting to get paler. She looked sickly.

"We will be there soon."

She whispered as she lost the group. She slowly halted to a slow pace as she saw the familiar tree they had seen hours before while going in loops to find the shortcut. If she was right she should be close to the playground.

She ran in the direction. The pain was forgotten as she found hope.

She burst through the trees and into the playground. 

She was finally free!

Or, so she thought.

In the middle of the playground stood a group of people.

"You finally made it!!!"

He sounded so overjoyed to see her. She had been lied to. That thought made bile rise in the back of her throat.

"WE HAVE A DEAL REMEMBER! I ESCAPED! NOW LET US GO!"

Her deep voice roared in anger as she bared her teeth. She wasn't going to let herself get cornered again. She had too much to lose right now.  

"Oh? but you haven't escaped darling. When you pass those gates you would have. And now you've been caught. YOU PLAYED RIGHT INTO MY HANDS YOU FOOLISH GIRL! YOU REALLY THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU GO SO EASILY? YOU WERE WRONG! YOU'LL BE MY SACRIFICE NOW!"

He threw his head back laughing a loud crazy laugh. He pulled a handgun from his robes and pointed it at her.

"Haoyan?"

A strained whisper came from her arms.

She glanced down when she heard her name. She thickly swallowed the bile in her throat and made a quick decision. She would rather die and save Sai. Her best friend. The girl she cared for. The girl she loved. She just hoped her mother would be okay.

Her Mother.

She swallowed thickly. She could already hear the heart-wrenching cries she heard many nights when she was young. When her mother thought she was asleep. If she lost her too it would drive her mother over a breaking point. She took in a breath. She'd have to leave it to luck then.

When she saw the indication he was about to shoot she, reared off to the left and dropped herself over Sai.

Then all she felt was pain.

Then she heard an ear-piercing scream.

She looked up as warm metallic liquid dripped from her mouth mixing, with her sweat. She felt pain in her lower back but tried not to acknowledge it. 

"I Missed."

She heard from behind her and looked up into Sai's fear-stricken eyes. Hot tears were spilling from her eyes and, she was sobbing.

This was her only chance. when he approached, she'd have to knock him out.

True to her thoughts he came closer with a skip in his step.

"Stay away from us!"

Sai raspily yelled through her sobs. she tried to pull Haoyan away but, she wasn't strong enough.

"Oh, be quiet!" 

He lashed out with his gun, narrowly missing Sai's face.

Sai froze. 

Haoyan could tell all fight in the hot-tempered girl was gone. This man had scared her so much she couldn't even fight back.

"Please....please don't hurt her anymore."

She sounded so meek as she pleaded raspily.

''Why shouldn't I?"

The man asked crouching down. His face was still covered but his lips were pulled into a sickly sweet smile.

"Because..... Because I care for her. She's my friend. I- I like her. No, I love her."

The brown-haired girl looked up with determination to continue after spilling such heartfelt information. 

The man frowned and cut in when he saw she was going to continue.

"I do not care."

He shifted the gun and pointed it at Sai. What he did not expect was to get tackled. 

The gun in his hand was sent sliding across the ground. He tried to reach for it but, his head was harshly shoved into the earth below. His head spun and, his vision became spotted as he felt something hit him hard in the face. It repeated a few more times till he lost consciousness. 

Haoyan picked herself up and got into a stance with her bloody fist in front of her face and she bounced on her toes.

"LEAVE NOW OR, I WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE YOU DOWN!"

She turned her head and spit out a mouthful of blood into the dirt.

When she saw them all turn tail and run she let herself collapse to the ground in a bloodied heap.

"We need an ambulance now!" 

She looked over as Sai pressed her hand against her bleeding stomach yelling into her phone.

"My friend has been shot!"

She silently watched as her friend gave instructions on where they were. When she finally put her phone down, and all her attention was back on her, she asked.

"Did you really mean it?"

The other girl looked confused, "Mean what?"

"When you said you loved me?" She deeply rasped out.

Sai blushed, "Yes, I did."

Haoyan smiled and softly spoke with relief, " I love you too."

Sai smiled warmly at her and pressed a kiss to her swollen bloody lips.

"Your face is all busted up stupid."

Sai mused with a laugh. 

Haoyan smiled as her vision darkened. She could finally rest.

As her vision, faded she heard sirens in the distance.

They'd be okay.

...

The next she woke she, was in a hospital. She turned her head when she heard soft sobs. Her eyes landed on her mother's hunched form. Beside her, she notices another girl with brown hai also sobbing.

"I'm still alive You know."

She got out horsly through her dry throat.

Like a chain reaction, both of the females stood up and started asking if she was okay. Yelling at her about how worried they were. Her mother yelled about how scared she was to get a call from the Hospital. She had told her to be safe and almost lost her! Haoyan could only laugh in response.

"I'm fine!"

She exasperatedly got out before she was pulled into two warm hugs.

She was finally not being, followed."

She was finally home, and there she would stay wrapped in the embrace of the ones she loved.

Blue Kitty au (part?)

N/A: Don´t hold your breath for more chapters. It is all thanks to my inspiration. I want to do something here...why most men in the X-men are a bit of jerk? STRAIGHT WHITE DUDE wrote them...Is ok to a dude harassed a woman because said woman can destroy the planet with her finger...that´s their logic (and she wears little because comics) and I want to rectify this.

@dannybagpipesarecalling @djinmer4 @bamfoftheundead @everykurt @muninandhugin

The screen´s lights are dispensing blue, yellow and green lights as Kitty is typing furiously and tinkering Cerebro- Dr. MCcoy and Jean Grey let her give a try as Prof X announced some problems in the Cerebro and Forge is no longer here to help to fix much to Storm´s dismay- and so far, Kitty can testify nothing has gone awry yet. As the baby blue woman continues her work-and she´s focused on her task as if is a natural part of her being- she can hear Logan´s voice still along with some of his friends (Morph and Dr. MCcoy)

"I try to woo Jeanie, as you said" Logan speaks in his grumpy tone and Hank is quick to add he never incentive Logan to go after Jean, instead, he was merely talking about the word woo and how Logan doesn´t seem to fully understand it-if that was an insult or merely a way for Dr. MCcoy showing he understands the meaning of this word, all Logan did is wave his hand to prevent any more philosophical talk to begin- and continues to tell his tale of failure. "and she still rejected me. What I should do to make her choose me?"

And Kitty would laugh- a mirthless laugh with deadpan expression- if this wasn´t so painfully ordinary for some men and Kitty, in all her young years, take instance against prejudice. "I can think of a few reasons for her to reject you. 1) she said so, 2) she said so, and finally, 3) she said so" and looks at Logan who is looking at her in a mix of bemused and peeved.

"What are you? Scott´s fangirl?" his tone is rude and maybe Logan believes if you´re Scott´s fangirl that is equivalent to call one a dirty word- Kitty rolls her eyes and can say she´s not Scott´s fangirl but she is a big fangirl about no more harassment- and Logan took her line as if she´s offending him. "Harassing? Blue, you´re mistaken" his claws are popping now and Kitty is good in hiding her fear- she hears enough stories about Wolverine to fear her for life even if she can shot lasers- and the man growls as he continues. "I´m trying to woo, Jean, show her I´m the man she should be with...not harassing"

Kitty crosses her arms and looks unimpressed. "If a woman says no and you persist...it is harassment, just because you´re a hero or believe to be one...does not mean you´re above everything" Kitty´s toneless and Logan is not happy if that is possible.

Hank and Morph are saying something-either to Kitty stop for her security or to Logan to knock off, to be fair, Kitty isn´t paying much attention- and Logan is in fight instance. "Look, Jeannie is beautiful and powerful, things you´re not, Blue, and if she really didn´t want me...she could have killed me ages ago" and Logan believes to have found her weak spot.

(Alien Queen! Alien Queen! Alien Queen!)

Kitty could runaway- in fact, a part of her wants to run and cry and maybe she would cry if she was a bit younger- and could never again face Logan, yet, all she does is grin and replies. "So I´m two times powerful? Great" and asked in a calm tone- as calm as she can muster as Logan is still scary even if Kitty can use her lasers- "if you like Jean so much...tell me one thing about her aside from her beauty. Tell me what you know about Jean Grey that makes you feel you´re entitled to her"

"She´s beautiful and powerful" and Logan took this conversation over and thought the best response is to fight - his claws are itching to retribute the favor of what Kitty did last week- yet, a maelstrom hits him causing him to meet the wall, again.

Storm is hovering and graceful land on the floor looking not pleased in the slight- is easy to see as her eyes are sparkling and Kitty can see why people would immediately associate Storm with a goddess- and she speaks with regal tone-as expected of Storm- and a cold tone as well. "Beautiful and powerful? Why Logan that applies to every woman in the X-men...are you crushing on every woman?"

Logan leaves the crater charging at Storm or maybe Kitty- even him is not aware- when Psylocke arrives wearing her typical uniform- showing her skin and no shame- as she used her kinetic blades to perforate his arms stalling his movements. "I´m beautiful, I´m powerful and I´m saying no" Betsy adds looking coldly at him.

And finally, Jean Grey arrives - donning with a civil outfit for once- and speaks in a restrained tone. "I´m saying no and that´s the reason enough for you to leave me alone" she continues not giving him room to avoid this or to twist her words. "I didn´t pick you, as you love to call, because I love another man, I don´t pick you because I don´t want...Scott has nothing to do with my decision"

And Kitty can look at Jean´s eyes- green like emeralds and this feels like a cliche, but, her eyes are shimmering so strongly- as she concludes. "You´re in the X-men because of pity and mercy...but my pity and mercy is running thin" she adds in a sinister tone and Kitty can see her fire.

Logan´s injuries are healed- at least to the point he can walk without winced too much- and he ignores the others as he wordless leaves the room- Jean Grey states at Kitty and the gesture almost make her jump. She still can see the fire- and the woman replies in a kind tone. "If you want to take a break is ok...me and Ororo can continue the work"

She looks at Ororo who offers the same kind smile. "You´re working here for more time than it should be, go take a break, Kitty! Trust me, it will need more than that to stop us" Storm promised oozing confidence and Kitty nods-won´t ever admit she does want a break but will accept this chance as is offered- Kitty notices how the other men leave the room and how Jean and Betsy seem to be terse to the point while Jean seems to be more friendly with Ororo.

Rogue is humming one of the immortals '80s while she´s moving to the beats in her head- she was listening to the music in her iPod, but, she burrows to her brother for a moment, yet, the song is still strong and Rogue can attribute how happy it makes her be- and she stops her moves when she sees Dazzler looking at him unimpressed at her.

"Ah not a good dancer?" she asked smirking not phased by the glare.

"Rogue, are you that desperate to the point you would TRY to steal someone´s boyfriend?" Dazzler asked looking Rogue up and down. "What? If Magneto is available would go after him" and Rogue frowns as she takes her glove out.

"Careful, Alisson...one may think you´re scared"

"I trust Longshot...and if you use your hand on me...then you´ll see you can´t steal him"

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Kitty Pryde is in her room playing her guitar and writing a few lyrics here and there as the song she´s crafting is unfinished and not in her tastes yet. "What rhymes with orange?" she asked to no one but herself. And yet, someone responds. "Well, there´s storage" and Kitty´s doe eyes look to see Kurt Wagner on her door-not daring to enter in her room, but, since the door is open he can see and speak with her. His tail is between his legs- and tries again. "Hello, Kitty Pryde"

Kitty remains still for a moment until she puts the guitar away. "if you´re here to talk about Logan...I don´t care for justification for harassment" Kitty states-Morph speak how Logan is not a bad guy. How in the end, he saved people and even an orphan kid, but, that does not justify going after a woman who rejects him several times- and Kurt is taken back by this(either is a shock by her tone and words or by what happened to Logan)

"No, I´m not here for that, well, more or less. I want to apologize for what I did or didn´t do it" Kurt begins still on his spot. "when Logan said those things and I remain silent...I was being a type of person I vow to never be, and I apologize for that"

Kitty nods gently. "Ok, why you have a problem with me?" and Kurt sighs as he is ready to confess- like any good catholic Kurt does confessions- and he speaks looking at her doe eyes (brown eyes contrasting greatly against his golden ones)

"Have you ever meet a woman named Raven Darkholme?" Kitty shakes her head never hearing of this name until now. "Well, she´s trash of person" and he smiles awkwardly. "I´m not one to think bad of women...but, she´s a trash person...she threw me out of the cliff when I was a baby, oh, yes...she´s my mother, my biological mother"

Kitty´s eyes are wide at this. Kurt didn´t let her speak as he continues.

"It was...my foster family who saved me" Kurt can´t consider them Roma for many reasons, but, they did save him and raised him well. He owns at least this. "And she is one of the X-men´s villains...she makes babies and leaves them. She´s also Rogue´s mother...and even though she raised her" Kitty saw his hands clench in a fist for a moment. "she was still a trash mother"

"Ok, what´s this has to do with me?" she asked politely as she can but still confused and not wanting to be anyone´s punching bag, even if emotionally.

"She was the only blue woman I ever saw in my entire life...until you"

Kitty rose from her spot and looks at him. "Kurt, I´m not throwing babies out cliffs. I´m not Mystique!"

"Intellectually I know, but, you´re the second blue woman I saw in my entire life...I don´t know what to do"

"Well, you can try knowing me before judging me?!" and adds. "I don´t throw babies away ...ask me something else, Kurt and I´ll answer"

Kurt was expecting a sneer or maybe blackmail- wasn´t something Mystique would love to do-and yet, here is Kitty offering friendship without hidden agendas or anything like that.

"I was listening to some of your songs on Rogue´s iPod...where did you get inspiration?"

"My first song is just how I imagined the void and Life would fall in love" and she chuckles. "yes, it is about tentacles sex!"

"I noticed...Katzchen, if you have any question about me...ask away"

"The doctor get-ups, the sexy interns, all the 'seriouslys' - it all makes sense," Dean said, sounding a little too happy about it for your liking.

"What makes sense?" Sam replied urgently, confused by the whole situation that the three of you had been plunged into.  "What's going on?" 

"We're in Dr. Sexy M.D.," Dean exclaimed in a whisper.  Watching as Sam's face twitched anguished, you watched as the two glanced around at the surroundings.  Knowing that the three of you had gone on a hunt for the Trickster, it was not something that was far from logical.  Unfortunately to you, it had made sense. You had caught the tail end of an episode he was watching before the initial plunge into this job two days prior, and proceeded to roll your eyes at his excitement.  

The three of you had walked around for a few moments, before Dean turned to Sam, saying, "Dude, what the hell?"

"I don't know," Sam replied in a defeated tone.  

"Dude, seriously, what the hell?" Dean repeated more fiery than prior.  

"I don't know!" Sam said, agitated. 

"One theory, any theory," Dean replied. 

"The trickster trapped us in TV land?" Sam asked more than said, getting an irritated groan out of Dean, causing you to chuckle.  

"That's a stupid theory," Dean replied irritated.  "There is no TV land, it's all lights and cameras." 

"Well, it's the trickster, so you know, he probably could trick us into a fake TV land that he made," you mumbled out.  

The two brothers went back and forth for a while, Dean denying that he enjoyed the show while he was pointing out the faintest details that only an avid fan would actually know about the show itself, as well as explaining each character that passed by the three of you.  You were ignoring the two boys, trying to think your way out of this television trick that the Trickster himself had shoved the three of you into. Dressed in hospital garbs, you knew you did not have the wooden stake you came in with on you, and tried to think of where possibly in the show it could have been stashed.  Your attention was brought back by Dean exclaiming that it was in fact Dr. Sexy himself walking down the hallway towards the three of you.  

"Doctor," Dr. Sexy greeted Dean first as the three of you were standing face to face with the supposed star of the show. 

Dean immediately responded back with a mirrored, "Doctor." You swore you were watching a little fangirl with the way that he was reacting to this whole scenery.  

"Doctor," Dr. Sexy greeted Sam.  

Sam hesitated as he replied with, "Doctor." 

When Dr. Sexy went to greet you, your eyes met, and there was some sort of odd pull you felt.  It was almost unreal, and felt so strange, but you could not help but blush under his gaze. You, of course, did not care for the show at all, so you knew there was something off about this whole ordeal.  

"Nurse," he said in a sultry tone, stepping towards you as he did so.  You felt so powerless in that moment, and were not sure why, nor what you should do.  The supposed Dr. Sexy cupped your face gently, and begun bringing his face down towards your own, beaconing you to close the gap.  As your lips almost touched, Dean finally spoke up, as they were likely too shocked to say a word prior. 

"You're not Dr. Sexy," Dean said with a determined look in his eyes as he had already torn him away and pinned him against the wall beside you.  It was hard for you to admit, and you would not have done so out loud, but you missed the feeling of his hand upon your cheek. 

"You're crazy," Dr. Sexy replied in a low tone. 

"Really?" Dean replied with a slight upturn of his lips, "because I swore a part of what makes Dr. Sexy sexy is the fact that he wears cowboy boots, not tennis shoes." 

"Yeah, you're not a fan," Sam said with a scoff. 

"Its a guilty pleasure!" Dean defended.

"Call security!" Dr. Sexy said, but the three of you watched as no one was phased by the possible altercation going on right near them.  Just as the show, they all behaved how they were not even seeing the situation unfolding in front of them.  

"Go ahead, pal," Dean spat in reply.  "We know what you are." 

"You're getting better," the Trickster teased as he changed to his normal form from the whole Dr. Sexy look he wore prior.  

You said absolutely nothing, as you simply stared at the scene playing out in front of you.  Now you could see the trickster with his dirty blonde hair framing his face neatly, along with his whiskey colored stare.   Though he was pinned by Dean, his whiskey gaze flicked to you for a second, giving you a quick wink before he looked back at Dean.  Somehow, your cheeks felt hot in that moment, and you could not look away from the trickster throughout the duration of the ordeal.  

You listened as the Trickster explained how to survive his trick, and how the three of you would need to fit into your roles on the show to actually get out.  Sam had asked for his help, much to Dean's dismay, but the trickster offered if the three of you were to survive the 24 hours that he would hear you out. Through him talking, it seemed as if he kept looking over at you for no real reason, but each time he did, you felt your heartbeat quicken.  When he had disappeared, leaving the three of you in Dr. Sexy M.D., you let a frown pull downward at your lips, and both brothers practically turned to you at the same time.  

"What the hell was that about?" Dean said accusingly, his arms practically waving in exasperation.  Their looks towards you were both incredibly similar, of confusion and somewhat floored.  

"I-," you started, feeling under pressure.  "How the hell am I supposed to know?" 

"Do you have a thing for the trickster?!" Sam continued, causing you to shrink back even more.  

"M-maybe it's part of his trick," you suggested with a shrug, before biting your lip.  You were thinking about it in this moment, trying to comprehend the strange attraction that you had to him.  It was so strange, and you had only seen the Trickster once prior in the last encounter with him, yet it was the same story the last time as well.  You had some odd attraction to the trickster then, as you did now, and it was unexplainable to you. Something in your brain practically sought out the man.

So. Lemme tell y’all about my Sonic Boom AU.

First off, in this Sonic is a robot Eggman created, but since we all know Boom! Eggman isn’t exactly what you call a big threat, he made Sonic as his ‘son’ and used the best tech he could find so Sonic could live normally like a real hedgehog...person...whatever you call the animal people in this universe.

Eggman used the blue Chaos Emerald to power Sonic, but in this world, the Chaos Emeralds are exceedingly weaker than in the main game ‘verse, and Sonic completely absorbed it, only way to get it would be to completely reduce Sonic to complete scrap metal, you wouldn’t even be able to get it if you opened up Sonic’s power console.

Because of the Emerald basically becoming Sonic’s heart, it gave him his extreme speed, as well as thoughts and feelings (creating feelings for robots was very hard for Eggman back in the day.) the doctor gave Sonic upgrades every now and then, including him appear the age he would be (15 in this case.)

Of course, Sonic got into his Rebellious Teen Phase(TM) and left Eggman’s base to the island and met Tails, Amy, Knuckles, and eventually Sticks.

Eggman got to the whole ‘attacking the village’ thing cause he literally wanted Sonic to come home, it was like the whole village was in the middle of the Robotnic family drama on a weekly basis.

At first, only Tails knew about Sonic being a robot, as he was kinda afraid of what the others might think about him being a ‘bot, especially Sticks, what with how she was around machines in general, but after a incident where they were exploring a cavern and experienced a cave in (which cause one of Sonic’s arms to get badly enough damaged, it showed all his circuits and such.) he came clean about being a robot, thankfully his pals were fine with it, even Sticks, making an exception about ‘some’ good robots.

Eventually Eggman created Metal Sonic, powered by the cyan Chaos Emerald, to try and get Sonic home, but Metal just ended up occasionally fighting Sonic & Co. and then just chills with em, he’s basically Sonic’s little brother that they all squabble with sometimes.

As for Shadow, he’s not really created like in the main games (that’s the vibe I got from him from Boom! Shadow at least) while he and Sonic fought abit at first, they eventually talked stuff out and Shadow decided to hang out and became a part of the team, and since he’s been living in a cave for who knows how long, Sonic let him room with him, even making some renovations so there’s more room (and like, an actual door.)

This is what I got so far @anichibi-fangirl thought I’d show ya!

ARC V Anniversary - Day 1: How did you get into ARC V?

Well I might as well do this prompt too!

Well then! I remember watching ZEXAL back when it aired as a kid. Just the dub, but I physically remember talking to my friends at the time and claiming Yu-Gi-Oh is my favourite TV show. Anyway, I had this massive break and went through a HUGE Skulduggery Pleasant phase. Like this went on for 4 years. Derek Landy to this day is still my favourite author, and the one who I still base my entire writing style around (read his books if you ever get the chance).

Point is I forgot about Yu-Gi-Oh for a while, at the tail end of this ‘phase’ a friend of mine told me that I should watch SAO. An anime. (They still regret this to this day may I add) So my first introduction to the genre was established, properly this time. My young, naive child brain hadn’t twigged that Yu-Gi-Oh was an anime at first. I went through being obsessed with SAO then Tokyo Ghoul, Black Butler, Guilty Crown, Deltora Quest, Death Note, Akame Ga Kill and Naruto for a while, in amongst watching A LOT of other anime. Like literally, I’m clocking in having seen about 102 anime within the space of three years, each obsession not lasting any more than a month.

Now a point I want to make is that I do have OCD. Obsessive Compulsory Disorder. I am a complete and utter perfectionist and legit cannot do anything the easy way. When I get into something, like a fandom, I need to do everything I can for it. I can never love anything half-assed, I need to draw, to write, discuss, talk, research, fangirl, space out about. I ‘jump in boots and all’ so the saying speaks. 

So now this brings me back to YGO. One day my brother came home with a stack of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Basically this was my introduction to the TCG. My brother told me that I should watch the show and handed me one of his cards that he didn’t want. I distinctly remember that my first ever YGO card was a battered copy of Cyber Dragon. By this time I had some practice with anime drawing and my brother asked me if I could draw him Seto Kaiba. After finishing my quite frankly failed attempt. I thought I’d take him up on the idea to watch the show properly. I finished Duel Monsters in its entirety in the space of two and a half months. And well, this is where my OCD comes in. I LOVED it SO MUCH, I had one of those moments where I finally found something I could genuinely enjoy, that I could stick with and continue to love for years to come. So consequently I forced my brother to teach me the game and spent basically all of my money on buying cards, a habit I have not found the strength to stop. I watched GX in the space of 4 months, after finishing DM for the 2nd time (I’ve seen DM 3 times to date and GX twice).  

Ok, so my original thought of ARCV was that it wasn’t very good. I wasn’t tempted to watch it, and my brother had said it was the worst one of the franchise, and for a while I believed that and had a pretty negative thought process towards the show (SOMETHING THAT I STILL REGRET VERY MUCH TO THIS DAY).

As a challenge, I decided one night that I would watch it, just to test the society around me’s perspective. Well…. HO boy, was that both a mistake and the best decision of my life. I watched, I think, the first 12 episodes in one sitting, completely forgetting the concept of sleep. But I finished the whole show in under a month. A crowning achievement for me, as I watched the better part of 6 episodes a night. I binged the HELL out of ARC V, and when it ended, I was in the kitchen sobbing and crying my eyes out for a good hour. Questions were asked let me tell you, but NO other fandom has ever made me so emotional. NEVER no book, no game, no film, no show. I have never felt such a deep connection with fictional characters nor genuinely found myself loving as much as I do, in fact I never even SHIPPED anything until I started watching ARCV. Needless to say, it, well, punched my expectations in the gut before shoving my obsession with DM to the side, gently, and jumping into ARCV arms. I want to mention that for some obsessive reason I recorded the exact date and time I hit play on Episode 1. I started ARCV almost exactly two months after it finished airing in Japan, the 26th of May last year, in fact, it was 10:10 at night as well if your interested.

My love of ARCV has surpassed and outlived the length of time I have loved DM, GX or any other anime, although GX is still my second favourite of the YGO series to date (I am still in the process of finishing 5D’s and ZEXAL, but am WELL into those ones as well as being as far as I can into VRAINS). ALL of Yu-Gi-Oh is something that I am well and truly obsessed with, any one of my friends or family members can testify to that. The characters and inspiration I have taken and incorporated into my life from this show is something no one can ever take away. More than any other anime series or really, any fandom, YGO gives me something I can take away from it. 

From the series, I have improved my drawings leaps and bounds, from not even being able to draw a decent stick figure when I first started watching to now genuinely being proud of what I can do, even (finally) discovering my own art style. 

This is the same with my writing as well, I have always loved to write. It’s something that has given me so much joy to do since I was little, I won an state-wide award at one point for a poem I wrote, then a year later another one for a narrative. Needless to say, I love writing, so when I first began ARCV it was my first series that I loved so much I was tempted to begin reading and writing fan fiction. Starting my own, lengthier stories using the characters I loved, admired and adored. 

Ever since I started writing/drawing and posting for ARC V, which in hindsight has only been for about four months, which is scary to think about. I have met so many people who share my love of the series. Other people who are dedicated enough to spend a little bit of each day enjoying something that they love and are passionate for. Who spend just as much, if not more, or their time loving the series. As a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, I have only really been watching the franchise for about two years. Which is nothing compared to many. But that doesn’t stop me loving it, and continuing to love it for probably a good few years to come.

Dancing with an Angel: (Request)

Prompt:Tony is throwing a ball because Y/N had been gawking at all this dresses. Tony forces bucky to ask Y/N out because hes head over heels for her. Then at the ball Y/N is all happy dancing witch bucky in this beautiful dress while Bucky can't believe how beautiful she looks.--Anonymous

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader

Note: Just pure fluff

Words: 1380

Requested by: Anonymous 

Tony decided to force the team of Avengers out to the mall to get a few things and in reality to get them out of the tower due. Everyone had been so busy with missions lately they forgot what it was like to be a normal human being. With his foot down he loaded everyone into a van that held fifteen people and Clint drove towards the mall. “Everyone meet back at the van at four we’ll be heading home afterwards.” Steve explained as they nod.

They all headed inside the building when Wanda, Natasha, and Pepper dragged (Y/N) off towards the clothing stores to get some new items. Bucky and Steve went to the bookstore, but Bucky’s eyes never fell too far from (Y/N) on the other side of the walkway where she was gawking at all the beautiful dresses. Tony took notice before he walked in behind the girls. “Peps.” He whispered to his beloved as she looks to him.

“Yeah?” She asked. “Get (Y/N) the dress she wants along with the others. I’m throwing a ball tonight. I figured out a way to get Bucky and (Y/N) together.” He grins when she smiles. “Alright, don’t do anything stupid.” She comments as he gasps, placing his hand onto his chest. “I would never.” He said as she rolls her eyes. “Phase one is complete once you get a dress. On to phase two.” He grins excitedly before he walks over to the bookstore.

“I bet this will be a good read.” Steve murmurs, reading the back of the book while Bucky glanced around the store. “You enjoying yourself?” Tony questioned walking up to him as Bucky’s piercing gaze fell to Tony, but his response was a shrug. “So, I’m going to be throwing a ball tonight.” Tony explained as Bucky quirks an eyebrow. “What does that have to do with me enjoying myself?” Bucky questioned as Tony claps his hands together.

“Well (Y/N)’s over there look at gorgeous dresses and I thought since I’m hosting a ball for us tonight… I thought you would enjoy yourself more if you asked her out.” Tony gestured with his hands. Suddenly Bucky’s face lit up in a dark red hue as he glares at Tony. “I can’t ask her out.” He huffs. “Why not? Look at the beautiful woman! You practically drool over her all the time!” Tony snips back. “Because… Because I’m not good enough!” Bucky harks back.

“Says who! (Y/N) thinks the world of you! Who is always there for you when you have attacks? When you go through relapse? (Y/N), so just ask her out!” Tony exclaims throwing his hands up as a few people glance over to them. “F-Fine! If it gets you off my back!” Bucky huffs before storming over to the dress shop where the girls were chatting about what to wear. (Y/N) looks back when she felt a presence behind her while looking through the dresses.

“Oh, hey Buck. Is something wrong?” She asked when he took her hands in his own causing her eyes to widened as the girls look up to them in shock. “(Y/N) will you go out with me to this thing Tony is throwing tonight?” He asked as she blinked for a moment when her face heated up. “S-Sure Bucky. I’d like that.” She smiled when he swallowed. “W-Wait, seriously?” He asked as she nods. “Okay… Um… Good… See you then.” He murmurs as Natasha smirks.

Bucky slowly walks out of the store, rubbing the back of his neck as (Y/N) couldn’t stop smiling when Natasha stood up and nudged her. “Well then.” She chuckles causing (Y/N) to cover her face. Bucky made it back into the Bookstore while Tony smirks like a cat as his imagery tail flickered. “I hate you.” Bucky comments. “I didn’t do anything, but encourage you to do what you’ve been wanting to do.” Tony explained batting his eyelashes to Bucky.

“Well did she say yes?” Steve questioned, crossing his arms when Bucky nods. “Good.” Steve smirks. “I’ll give you credit Tony.” He murmurs before they go back to shopping as Bucky glances back to the store to see (Y/N) chatting with the others. It was around four and everyone piled into the van while Clint started off towards the Tower. Tony chatted away on the phone while they were driving, because he wanted the party to be nice.

(Y/N) had bought a navy blue dress that had the straps on her biceps and the dress was simple while falling to the floor. Natasha had bought a tie for Bucky to match her without (Y/N)’s knowledge. “Come on (Y/N), the party already started! You don’t want to keep your knight in shining armor waiting!” Natasha calls. “I’m coming I’m coming!” (Y/N) exclaims when Natasha smirks. “Guess you’re practicing for later.” She winks.

“Nat! Hush!” (Y/N) grumbles before clipping in her earrings as they walk to the elevator. They head down to the dance hall, looking around to the actually candles that were floating above them. “Huh, Tony did really great.” Natasha comments before her eyes fell to Steve, Sam, and Bucky who were standing together at the bar. “There he is. Go get him Tiger.” Natasha pushes (Y/N) forward who gasps almost colliding with someone.

She huffs at Natasha who smirks as she straightens her dress before walking up to the three men huddled together. Sam nudged Bucky who glanced over before choking on his drink as (Y/N) smirks taking it from him as she takes a swig of it. “There stud. I’m pretty such you asked me to this thing, so you gonna come dance with me?” She batted her eyelashes as Bucky’s jaw dropped open when Steve reached over and closed it for him.

Bucky slapped his hand away, glaring at Steve for a moment as him and Sam busted out laughing. “Come on Doll.” Bucky murmured taking her hand as she set his empty glass down. She smiled at the pet name before walking with him towards the dance floor when his hands were slowly placed onto her sides. “Enjoying yourself?” She asked softly. “I always do when I’m with you.” His mouth immediately clamped shut at those words.

“Really?” She questioned softly as he nods before looking at her dress. “You look beautiful. You always look beautiful to me.” He murmurs as she smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck while the music started up. “I think you look good yourself.” She whispers back, looking over his black button up top and navy blue tie and vest to match. “Oh my god just kiss!” Clint cried as they both look over to see the others watching them.

Natasha smacks him upside the head the head. “Good job, they were more focused on each other.” She huffs when Clint shrugs. “Bucky won’t do it. He’s too afraid.” Clint comments as Bucky frowns before cupping (Y/N)’s face when she looks to him. “Buck--” She was cut off by his lips pressing against her own as her eyes widened for a moment before she kisses him back. “You planned that didn’t you?” She asked as Clint winks.

Bucky pulled back before swallowing. “Okay, that wasn’t what I wanted--” Bucky started to say when (Y/N) put her finger on his lip to silence him. “Bucky? Shut up and dance with me you dork.” She grins before grabbing his hands as she swung him around causing him to laugh. “Does this mean you like me back?” He questioned when she pecks his lips. “Always.” She said when he spun her around causing her to giggle at him.

“You know I just realized something.” He smiled, spinning her back into his arms. Her back hit his chest softly when she looked to him. “What would that be?” She inquired as his lips touched her ear. “That I love dancing with an Angel.” He whispered causing her face to heat up before she laughs leaning against him while the music continued to play on. They danced for the rest of the night and was found the next morning lying together in Bucky’s room.
