#i was planning on working on something bigger but inspo hit and i thought 'fuck it we ball'

[amazable01]

A little quick write inspired by @dailysandersidesaudoodles mafia mociet drawings. Soz if it's not great, I wrote this at midnight <3

TWs: Mafia-typical gun violence; coercion; morally gray sides; mentions of sickness, poverty, intoxication; description of injuries (bruising and being tied up); implied animal death (hunting); toxic relationship dynamics

“Can you do it?”

Four words. Four deceptively simple words.

Patton held it in shaking hands, eyes trained on the barrel in front of him. He’d never fired a gun before; never even thought about it. His pop had tried to teach him when he was little, but he’d never had the stomach to hurt the animals he was told to hunt. The ripple of power, the loud bang, the whimpering pain the creature released as red sprayed across the ground before him. Patton had vowed then and there never to hunt again, never to shoot a living thing.

And yet, here he was.

The man they had chosen for this was someone Patton knew all too well. A stock broker. A conman. A monster and abuser. And, of course, Patton’s boss. He’d been bound to a chair, tied down tightly to the wood. The bright ropes cut into his bruised skin to leave colorful dots and lines, not unlike a pretty package on Christmas. Even the green gag had been wrapped in the front in a sadistic mockery of a bow, all ready to be splattered and frayed with the shot Patton had been gifted.

The hand on him shifted, now placing its palm flat against his lower abdomen. Patton couldn’t tell if it was meant to be comforting, encouraging, or mocking. He… really didn’t think he wanted to know, come to think of it. Seeing that crooning face all over again wouldn’t help his rapid, unspooling indecision any more than it had the first time.

This group was Patton’s last resort. Almost destitute, Patton had crawled pityingly to their doorstep with his ill son in hand. Logan was of a sickly nature; brilliant of mind yet feeble of body. It had taken only one boy at school to walk in feeling under the weather, and Logan was unable to move on his own. Patton had tried to cure him, tried to pay for the treatments, and no one bothered to give any real help. He’d lost every penny on the boy he so desperately loved, and he was rewarded with being kicked to the curb by both his landlord and boss.

Janus was the lucky one to answer his endless pleas for sanctuary. The man brought them in, nursed Logan back to health with no cost. Not only that, he housed them and gave Patton a job close by in order to get back on his feet. He wanted Patton around because it was apparently rare to see such a bright mind and a beautiful face together at the same time. Patton had fallen for the flattery and adoration on the spot.

As time had passed, Patton became more desperate for Janus’ affections. The man acted like Patton was the most interesting little doll he’d found at a charity shop: only worth bothering with because there was a spark of potential and the soft slump of obedience in Patton’s gaze. And as for Patton, Janus was the very air he breathed: smokey and husky and tainted with feelings best left in the quiet hours after intoxication. At this point, Patton was under his spell completely, willing to do everything Janus had asked of him and promising he always would be.

And here they were now. Janus wanted to see precisely how far Patton would go if asked. Patton had promised once more he would do anything.

The gun trembles. He runs a finger over the hammer.

“Is he not worthy enough to die? Is my word not enough for you?”

An immaculate finger ghosts over Patton’s earlobe, barely there but enough to make him shudder in equal terror and agony. A tear wells up behind his lenses.

‘No one would know’, Janus had promised. It was to be their little secret, a truth unspoken to all and carried to the dusty grave Patton would be lowered in. It was to be his hell, his horror, his beauty and acceptance. In doing this, Patton would belong to them, to him. There would be no point in leaving after he made this choice; Janus would have more than enough evidence to get Logan off him before throwing Patton away somewhere so he wouldn’t talk.

Not that Patton would ever talk. He was in too deep for that, now.

“Maybe you need direction? Perhaps you have forgotten what I need of you…”

A hand cups Patton’s shaking one, and steadies it as Janus gently shifts Patton’s hand into proper aim. Patton watches as a thumb reaches around ever-so-gently, and cocks the hammer into place to prime the gun.

The man in the chair squirms and screams. Janus chuckles gently under his breath.

Patton closes his eyes, and shifts his finger onto the trigger.

“Fire.”

There was no other option, in the end. There was no world where Patton would not choose to obey.

oh my GOD I love your isekai warriors au.... I love that the isekai trope is becoming a lot more popular, especially in anime... please tell me more about it!!

shaking ur hand rn hello fellow isekai anime/other mediums fan :3c FIRST lemme go on my tangent about this genre and my main inspo because wow this got way too long lol

isekai is total comfort food for me haha it's my go to genre of manga/manwha/webcomic reading whenever i'm feeling down and while i generally feel the genre is getting bloated and somewhat stale in anime, i still enjoy it quite a bit. It's a cute idea with a lot of potential, i just wish less of the shows went for the wish fulfillment route of things since we have so many by now.

mine is very inspired by a lot of korean manwha style stories in which the protag gets trapped in a show/game/book/etc. and has to deal with it, specifically what if you became the villain of a story. A lot of them play off the trope of the one dimensional evil villainess and how an average person would have to deal with coming into the body of someone like that and dealing with consequences. That, or it's the tragic villain, someone's who's life is marred by tragedy usually of their own doing.

The most interesting ones are those that play on how character archetypes would actually work in the story. The cold bad boy is just a shitty abusive guy, the shy guy who follows the girl is kind of a stalker, and so on.

One of my bigger inspirations was a plotline that also stuck out to me: a teen girl who died too soon and got reincarnated as the mother of the protagonist. obviously she has no clue what to do, she's a kid who wants to go home! And the only way she thinks she can is by ensuring the story goes as planned (and this of course is doomed from the start, unbeknownst to her, the villain is a reincarnater too and has already made tremendous changes). She dies and the reader never knows if she gets to go home or not. It's kind of this rough around the edges gem of an idea that I love and obviously had to steal for myself.

note for anyone getting intrigued by my descriptions uh a lot of these stories tend to be pretty shallow in their exploration. this subgenre consists a lot more of wish fulfillment/revenge fantasies comparatively to like a deep dive of "oh my god i've fucked up the narrative". Not to say they don't have interesting ideas! many are super interesting. just like. temper your expectations if you're going in

originally the story was gonna be set in a canon arc but that felt boring so i decided to just make up a whole story for it

The story is meant to be a (loving) poke at old fanfiction, common tropes in the aforementioned subgenre of isekai, and just a general ""cliche"" Warriors series (in the human universe here, I figured it's call Battlers/Battle Cats or something stupid lmao). In this story, Frostblaze is born into [ONE OF THE FOUR FAKE CLANS I HAVENT FIGURED OUT NAMES YET IM SORRY]. She's the born to an unnamed mother who tragically died of illness when she was just a young baby and has no clue who her father is.

She's isolated from her peers due to her eyes which some believe are an omen of her unnaturality. This only worsens when she is apprenticed to their Clan leader and causes Honeypaw, the daughter of the Clan leader, to become enraged with jealousy. She is one of Frostpaw's worst tormentors in the early parts of the book and eventually, during a battle, tries to off Frostpaw herself....but is killed by Frostpaw's love interest, the dashing and handsome (if a bit stupid) Eaglepaw of [INSERT RIVAL CLAN HERE].

The two hit it off (Honeypaw is an after thought at this point) and work together to stop the eeevviilll leader of uuhh eviiiiilll clan. They win, live happily ever after, Frost is actually their Clan leader's daughter and Honeypaw is her half-sister and blah blah blah.

At least, they're supposed to. Honeypaw, out hunting, is hit by a truck at the same time a human is. Human wakes up as a cat about to be buried because everyone thinks Honeypaw is dead and freaks the fuck out.

A lot of the plot points are kind of just me working through my gripes of the subgenre lmao:

"the person who is reincarnated is more adept and cool and better than their character and everyone loves them" -> Honey is awkward, neurotic, and can come off as rude to those who don't know her. Even her coolest trait, her wrestling ability, is off-putting because oh my god why are you putting a cAT IN A SPIDER GUARD THEIR SPINES DON'T BEND LIKE THAT HONEY PUT HIM BACK TO NORMAL-

She reread the story before she died but, because she has no pen, no paper, and sadly of all, no thumbs, she's unable to write it down to keep remembering it when she gets sent to this world. It's awful and she desperately wishes she had thumbs back.

she stands on two legs, makes weird comments alluding to being a human, and just is a bit of a weirdo. Honeypaw was isolated for being mean, Honey is isolated for making everyone uncomfortable (unintentionally). However, her isolation allows her to slip under the radar and do some more investigating, as she's noticed that some of the details in the story aren't adding up...

The story is strange and the characters aren't as she remembers now that they're in the flesh. Of course, her main priority is to thwart Honeypaw's assassination attempts, the spirit being intent that the way to get her body back is if she dies again. It's only from a near death experience that they realize that that's not gonna work and have to work together to change the story so they don't die!

and, as many people have pieced together, they're not alone.

PAIRING: Baron & Gemma

[ for more of them read this fake fic title : ditched under the mistletoe… this is somewhere towards the middle of their whole ‘story’ btw. I just haven’t written anything else for them… yet.]

The club was not his scene at all. If it weren’t for the lure that was Gemma dancing, he’d have told her hell to the no, he’d have begged out of this, literally anything. But all she had to do lately was turn on that begging pout and Baron Corbin turned from stone to putty in her hands.

Oh, he’d die a thousand slow and miserable deaths before ever coming close to admitting it to anyone, especially her, but the fact remained.

“Oh come on. Stop pouting and leaning on the wall you giant wallflower.” Gemma’s giggled command drew him from his current state of brooding while nursing a bourbon. He eyed the floor and then her again, leaning in, his hand at her hip to guide her completely against him. “They’re playin the wrong music for me to even consider gettin out there, princess.”

“This song fucks, okay?” Gemma informed him, suck popping a cherry flavored bubble as she dared to tap her foot at him impatiently.

Baron chuckled, shaking his head no and he held firm.. For all of two seconds. When Gemma started to walk her fingers up his chest, he groaned and bit his lip, trying not to react. When she started to rub against him, those hips swaying ever so slightly, staring up at him with the most innocent of smirks the entire time, his hands ventured down, gripping a double handful of her ass and squeezing, bucking himself into her right as she was about to rub against him. Gemma rose to tiptoe, her arm around his neck, fingers tangled lightly in the ends of his hair. “I thought this song was wrong for you to dance to, hm?”

“Well you’re the one who said, and I quote, this song fucks.. And fucking is a good thing, yeah?” Baron’s voice was the perfect velvet rasp against her throat as his mouth ventured boldly down the front of it. It didn’t matter that what he called dancing was more or less Gemma practically draped over his giant frame and standing on his feet to do so or that Baron Corbin had about as much rhythm as Carlton from Fresh Prince and maybe slightly more than Urkel from Family Matters. She lowered her hand, resting it over his heart and he squeezed her ass harder, drawing a squeak from her. “What’s on that chaotic little mind of yours, darlin?” Baron’s stubble grazed against her collarbone and she shivered while biting her lip. Every fucking time… He did this every fucking time he wanted to get out of something. She stared up at him with the vaguest hint of a smirk as she slowly shook her head no.

“Oh, we’re not leaving yet. I know exactly what you’re trying to do here.” Gemma purred, her lips lingering right over his pulse as she breathed in the scent of his cologne and smiled against his skin.

She wanted just one fucking night where he didn’t use sex as a diversion to get out of something he didn’t want to do. Just one.

“Aw, c’mon!” Baron grumbled, pouting because his attempt to get her to agree to leave hadn’t worked this time. Now he was going to have to figure out something else because clearly, she was catching onto him.

“Baron, you’re being a whole ass manchild. Just dance with me.. One more time… Please?”

Baron eyed her, a grumpy expression on his face that quickly turned to a smirk as he formed a plan of his own. Oh, he’d make her wish she’d taken him up on his offer to leave now. She wanted to dance?

Fine, they’d dance.

“Okay darlin.”

Gemma eyed him with a brow raised. She placed the back of her hand against his forehead and shook her head. “Okay, you don’t have a fever… You’re up to something.”

“Hey! I’m not always ‘up to something’ when I agree with you, princess. Sometimes I do it cos…” and he was dangerously close to saying those three words but at the same time, he was determined not to be that guy, the one who fell too hard and too easy and wore his heart on his sleeve. It wasn’t who he felt he was.

But he wanted to say it so bad.

“Because you’re up to something.” Gemma pouted, teasingly poking out her tongue at him as she rested her cheek against his chest and let out a contented sigh. “This feels nice.” her voice was giggly and muffled against the fabric of his tee shirt and Baron cleared his throat. The three words were still there, threatening to burst right out.

If he opened his mouth, he just knew they were coming out.

The thought had him tensing just a little and Gemma felt it the instant he did, raising her head to look up at him. “Everything okay?” with that soft and concerned look in her eyes. The same one that almost had him blurting out his true feelings on live television earlier when she’d pushed her way down to the ring just to make sure he was okay, post match against Roman Reigns. She shook her head. “You have got to stop thinking about shit that happens on the clock, do you hear me? Hey.. Focus, you giant goof.” Gemma was teasing gently, cupping his face in her hands, pulling his mouth against her own, rubbing herself against him. Her general thought process was that maybe if she made him focus his attention on her, then he wouldn’t think about it and get angry or upset all over.

He honestly disliked the whole gimmick but he’d never let that on. He missed the whole Lone Wolf idea he’d started with.

“If this is about that match earlier..” Gemma started, sighing as she shook her head.

“It actually has nothing to do with that.” Baron muttered quietly as his tongue parted her lips and he pulled her up his body so that he wasn’t bending too far and she wasn’t having to stretch herself out so much to kiss. Her legs circled his waist, squeezing and his hands gripped her ass doing the same as Baron deepened the kiss to a point where Gemma was starting to get dizzy from lack of oxygen.

The song continued to play in the background. Gemma whimpered into the kiss when she rubbed herself against him just a little harder and felt how hard he was through his jeans. Her fingertips raked his scalp and she went from mildly turned on to dripping wet as his mouth broke from her own to bite clumsily down her throat.

But she couldn’t just leave it alone.. That look in his eyes and the way he kissed her hard enough and dare say desperately enough to swell her lips and start them bruising when the kiss broke. “Oh? Well something is wrong..” she frowned as she tried to puzzle it out.

“Nothing is wrong.” Baron promised, grumbling lightly because she couldn’t just let it go. Very like her, actually. “Do you wanna dance or not, princess?” he didn’t mean for it to come out so impatient, but it did and he winced. “Sorry, just.. Maybe you’re right. Maybe it is earlier.”

… just say the words, damn…

The thought wouldn’t just be pushed out like usual and it wound up with Baron pulling her into another dizzying and bruising kiss. A step backwards had them sitting on one of the velvet covered couches that lined the wall closest to them and now Gemma was in his lap. She broke the kiss, backing away to look at him a few seconds as if she were contemplating something, but he was pulling her mouth back against his hungrily, his hand venturing up the ultra short hem of the little second skin fitting black tube dress that currently encased her body and showcased her curves and made him want nothing more than to pull her into a private and darkened room and rip it right off her body. One of her stilettos hit the floor with a quiet thud, followed by the other, the fact going unnoticed by both parties. Baron’s hand was now cupping her cunt, squeezing and he sucked in a sharp breath when he realized that she was practically dripping already. It only pushed him forward, his mouth dancing down the side of her neck, his teeth latching on to sensitive skin there and making her shiver all over as he left an even bigger mark on her.

By the end of the night, even if he didn’t say the words.. She was going to be covered in bite marks and handprints and little bruises here and there.. And preferably so damn sore that she didn’t dare ask him if he wanted to go out to another nightclub the next night because she wasn’t going to want to move.

And if he managed that, he’d happily carry her everywhere. Since he secretly enjoyed doing it and he often made up any excuse just to grab her up and put her over his shoulders or slide her up his body and let her wrap herself around him and cling… or scoop her up and carry her like he was carrying her over the threshold.

That last thought caught him by enough surprise that he actually stopped what he was doing and blinked a time or two.

“Baron?” Gemma questioned, her voice soft and panted against his mouth as she tried to take his face in her hands and guide his mouth back to her own. Baron’s hand stopped squeezing and rubbing her cunt and she pouted because at least with him rubbing and squeezing like he had been, she’d been getting some form of friction. When she went to rock herself right over the bulge strained and about to burst through the denim of his jeans, he chuckled and slyly shook her head no, muttering against her ear, “I thought you wanted to dance.”

“I do, but..”

“But?”

Gemma pouted and leaned in, rocking herself back and forth over his lap as his hand ventured up higher, to the waistband of her panties. She felt the second he ripped them away, tugging the torn fabric off her and shoving them into his pocket with a softer version of his usual smug smirk. “But I also want you. There’s just somethin about the way you’re touchin me and stuff right now, I…”

“I know, darlin.” Baron’s mouth buried just above the top of her dress, below her collarbone and as she rocked against him, he bucked himself up into her. “This is the only kind of dancin’ you’re really good at anyway.” Gemma sighed and giggled softly, making Baron give that cocky smirk as he stood.

“We’re leavin.”

“My shoes!”

Baron grumbled but let her hop down long enough to put her shoes back onto her feet and then he was pulling her back up his body all over again, and heading towards the nearest exit out of the club and into the lobby of the building.

His intentions had honestly been to at least attempt getting her upstairs to their room, but between what he was fighting to keep himself from saying and her just… Being the ultimate temptation, he couldn’t just wait a few lousy floors. So, the second they were inside an elevator, he was pushing the brake. Gemma eyed him, giggling.

“Baron?”

“Want you so fuckin much, princess. You don’t know what you do to me, do ya?” he grabbed hold of her hand and guided it down the front of his jeans, bucking against her palm. Gemma swallowed hard, nodding. “I… kind of felt that earlier.”

She got the feeling that Baron was trying to say something else entirely. Something that might just make him uncomfortable. She stared up at him a few seconds, head tilted slightly, gripping the waistband of his jeans as she tugged at the hem of his black tee shirt, tugging that upwards and over his head. Baron plucked it from her hand and placed it over the security camera aimed right at them.

“And I know what I do to you.” Baron muttered huskily as her back met the wall because he was pressing into her so heavily. His hand slipped back up the hem of her little black dress, squeezing her cunt, staring down at her as he breathed heavily. By now she’d gotten her hand into his pants and her hand was circling his cock, pumping long and slow and careful. His fingertip brushed between dripping folds as he nipped at her ear when leaning down “You’re already turned on…? I barely did anything.”

“You’re surprised?” Gemma panted as she rocked her hips against his fingers as they worked her open and buried past the knuckle. “ You’re just good like that.” she gasped, her strokes getting erratic as he added a finger and started to rub at her clit, working his fingers over the circle of nerves.

“I am, huh?”

Gemma bit her lip, staring up at him a second or two. “You don’t need me to tell you that.” she started, but stopped mid sentence, just… watching the look in his eyes. It wasn’t just sheer blind lust tonight like usual… there was something else there, something deeper lurking beneath the surface. Before Gemma could do what she’d been heavily considering, hitting her knees in front of him and tugging down his pants to blow him like she was dying to, Baron had her hand out of his pants and he was shaking his head, biting his lip. He withdrew his own hand from beneath her dress and raised the fingers just buried deep in her pussy to his lips, groaning as they slipped between, his free hand on her chin, fixing it so that she had to watch his reaction to tasting her, a lewd growl slipping out as he lowered his jeans and boxers and tugged her dress up to around her waist, raising her thigh so that it was wrapped around his waist, his hand gripping it there as he drove into her deep and slow, muttering breathlessly against her mouth, “I’m gonna make it up to ya later, princess. Just.. Fuck.. I need you now. So much, baby girl.” Baron’s breathy growl as his mouth crashed against her own had Gemma whimpering as he started to fuck into her a little faster, his hips snapping against her, her hips meeting his eagerly. “Fuck, oh fuck, Baron.. I love it when you get like this.” her head fell back against the wall of the elevator and she gripped his shoulder, digging her nails into his skin as he sank his mouth down onto the opposite side of her neck to the one he’d already left littered with marks.

Before he could stop himself from saying it, it was out. “Fucking love you, Gemma. So much, baby. Fuck. It’s all I can..” he started to thrust deeper and slower to keep himself from coming, groaning at the way it felt to feel the excess juices from her thighs covering his cock, dripping out of her lazily. “Think about lately.”

Gemma gripped him tighter, mouth crashing against his mouth as she muttered back, “I love you too.” a whimper dying on her lips as soon as her saying it back seemed to unleash something in Baron and he was really driving into her hard and deep, his hips smacking against her own at an almost bruising pace as he let his mouth linger over any part of her he could get it on. She guided his mouth back down to hers and her breath caught in her throat as she felt him filling and stretching her even more, bringing her dangerously close to an almost blinding orgasm. Baron felt her tighten around his cock and he growled the command against her lips, “C’mon, princess. Let go… Wanna feel…” as his tongue pushed between them, parting them and dominating her tongue in a slippery and sloppy and biting kiss. Her hands were all over him now and Baron muttered against her mouth, “Ever kissed somebody when you were gettin off? Because I haven’t.. And I wanna try.” his grip on her thigh slipping slightly only to have him correct that and grip it tighter, raising her leg a little bit higher and causing him to bottom out just as her orgasm shattered through and she deepened the kiss, her teeth clenching his bottom lip between as she muttered a quiet, “Don’t stop, fuck.. I wanna be filled up.”

“Oh you do, hmm?” Baron responded, letting her cling to her as he fucked her straight through her orgasm and right into his own, his cock throbbing and filling her up with his release, their juices mixing and dripping as they clung to each other, kissing and biting and trying to come down from it all.

Gemma tugged down her dress and Baron pulled up his jeans, tucking himself back into his pants, buttoning and zipping them and Gemma leaned against him heavily, trying to get herself together, staring up at him intently. He seemed more at ease.

“ I really meant it. Like… i didn’t mean it to come out like that, just…” Baron’s gaze dropped to his biker boots and Gemma took his face in her hands, making him look at her instead. “I know you meant it. I did too, by the way… I hope that means you’re gonna… Carry me?” she asked carefully, watching his lips turn upwards into a smile as he nodded and bent, scooping her up into his arms.

She winced as his arm brushed against her back and he eyed her in concern. “You okay, princess?”

“That rail dug into my back.. It’s whatever, I was not about to ruin the mood, it felt entirely too good to stop.”

“Damn right it did, princess. I’ll look at it when we’re in our room, ‘kay?”

“Okay.” Gemma mumbled as she pressed a gentle kiss against his lips and muttered in a quieter tone, “You’re an actual softie. I like it.”

“Only for you. Everybody else can get fucked, honestly.”  Baron shrugged it off as if it were nothing but honestly, just hearing her say that had him grinning like an idiot on the inside and definitely put him more at ease given what he’d said in the heat of the moment and meant with everything in him….

Janis: that's the question Jimmy: answer it then Jimmy: [a LOOK] Janis: [😳] Janis: it's not obvious? Jimmy: might be but it should be just as obvious that I wanna hear it Janis: how badly I want some alone time with you just increased Jimmy: 🚬? Janis: worth a go Jimmy: [do your best to try and escape lads] Janis: [probably enough into our hot chocolate/festive film to give you a few minutes here] Jimmy: [take your chance and leg it] Janis: [lord knows you need the moment Jimmy: [it's deserved you didn't know you'd still be here with all these kids and no privacy whatsoever] Janis: [what a time, at least you don't have to go home and separate 'cos heaven forbid] Jimmy: [that would suck, the time between boxing day and nye is weird enough if you like your fam and aren't a highkey teen in love so] Janis: [hence 'I missed you' like you've not spent forever together at this point and barely been apart] Jimmy: [hence the most genuine smile ever like an adorable nerd because whatever he was expecting her to say was not that but we're here for it] Janis: [when you go to nudge him like shut up but it's more of a feelsy lean and we all know it 'sorry about missing work' 'cos we feel bad even if there's fuck all we can or could do about it] Jimmy: [always gotta give that feelsy lean back regardless of how much it hurts us which gets him thinking about how much work would suck being this injured so we're 😒 which makes it seem like we're really annoyed about missing work even though we know he'd rather be here, hence the shrug he does when he snaps out of said thoughts 'you're my fave job any road, said it before' stop calling her a job sir even if you said that in a more feelsy tone than the words suggest] Janis: ['charming as the first time' and a 🙄 we're probably playing off as more jokey than it is] Jimmy: ['nowt I'd wanna be doing more than pissing about here with you, what could be more charming than that?' maybe if you'd said that in the first place boy instead of calling her a job again] Janis: ['I'm against serving coffee to ungrateful dickheads, it's not much to brag about, like' but a shrug and 😏 'cos we're not fuming over it] Jimmy: ['loads else you could if you wanted to' just telling her she's 🥇 basically there 'but I'll do it if not' casual hypeman is how that sounds but we're just 😍] Jimmy: [when I was asleep a little list of things he likes about her/she could brag about came to me so I'll try and recreate it from memory for us now, first he was obvious and just wrote fit on her arm or wherever but then did a camera and painting mime to emphasise that and tell her she was a good muse before adding mysterious where he wrote fit but then it started getting cute cos he drew little vampire teeth in the air above her smile and a sun on her face which he added the 😁 grin to obvs and then because we were in that general area he wrote nerd in caps on her neck across the biggest lovebite because not only is she such a one but to include nerd flirting then we moved to her throat and he did 🗨 because he likes talking to her and added a 🎵 inside because she's genuinely a good singer then wrote fun before adding the ny as well cos she's also a laugh then he went down to where her abs are and wrote athlete also in caps because DUH and finally on her ribs did the ✔ again because she's been taking care of him and is so kind and nice etc and while he was there got carried away just drawing an elaborate and massive rose for all the love and feels we can't currently express] Jimmy: [there might have been others I'm forgetting but those were definitely the main ones] Janis: [I'm dying boo, we're going to have to be physical because if we aren't speechless then things will be said but it's going to be the most intense and loving ever so we know] Jimmy: [not letting that be interrupted, soz children fend for yourselves for a minute please] Janis: [it's not like we've gone far, you're fine and we need this so we don't die] Jimmy: [my half asleep day dream has killed us all I am soz] Janis: [we're not soz at all, y'all living your best life] Jimmy: [the feels have never been higher] Janis: [are gonna have to force you back in eventually] Jimmy: [if only so y'all don't declare your love in words as well] Janis: [smack on that window children because it's too damn soon hush] Jimmy: [Libi 👀 to see if you're kissing] Janis: [she's gonna tell everyone lmao, tiniest shipper] Jimmy: [I love her with my whole heart] Janis: [mcvickers getting that lowdown they did not ask for when we're back, accidental snitching, at least we're being good-ish lmao] Jimmy: [Fearghal gonna be so amused, Tess will not LOL but yeah you've taken good care of this bub so you win points for that lads] Janis: [can't say fairer than that] Jimmy: [gonna be so heartbreaking when you're not allowed to stay there and see Libi, I could cry] Janis: [we have to make things go so downhill in a sec in a lot of ways, sad times] Jimmy: [winnie will love the drama, but for now go inside and try and get these kids to fall asleep] Janis: [threaten them with separation if they don't start to chill, that'll work] Jimmy: [try not to lol at how horrified they are at the prospect] Janis: 😱💔💀 Jimmy: #relatable for you, that Janis: you wish Jimmy: 🎂 Jimmy: ain't even Jesus' birthday no more Jimmy: can't piggyback off that Janis: sound like a right parent Janis: over

Jimmy: that I wouldn't do a better job of this if I could Janis: apparently, I've got no right so Jimmy: you shouldn't have to hack this an' all Janis: I don't Janis: all I was doing was saying go sleep on a proper bed Jimmy: it's just Jimmy: I don't know Jimmy: weird Janis: how is it Jimmy: I said I dunno Jimmy: it's been ages since anyone bothered to say owt worth listening to like that Janis: well Janis: why fuck yourself up more Janis: that's it, it's no deeper than that Jimmy: Why not? Jimmy: that's been the question up to now Janis: if you're gonna self-harm Janis: don't do it in front of me Jimmy: you get to hold the 🔪 my dear, and when you do it'll be a pisstake if you don't go harder than that Janis: I'm not playing right now Jimmy: nor me Jimmy: what I meant were, it don't matter to me what happens to me if it only happens to me Jimmy: very catholic of me, I know Janis: i'm not interested in having no more blood on my hands Jimmy: not bleeding out as of now Jimmy: you're welcome to piss off again if I ever am Janis: 👍 Jimmy: is it? Janis: yep Jimmy: what kind of answer is that? Janis: what do you want? Jimmy: and what kind of question is that an' all? Janis: I'm not in the mood Janis: to talk to you or do this Janis: I'll be back to do my share and then we'll go back as soon as we can Jimmy: just come back now Jimmy: it's freezing Janis: I'm fine Jimmy: I won't be if I have to piss about looking for you Janis: don't Janis: I know where I am, it's not your concern Jimmy: don't make me Janis: for fuck's sake Jimmy: is right Jimmy: come back and ignore me from here Janis: don't tell me what to do Janis: I'll come back when I'm ready Jimmy: don't be a twat Jimmy: then I won't have to Janis: how far do you reckon I've got in this time Janis: I'm basically outside Jimmy: 💪🏆🥇 you Jimmy: might've 🏃 anywhere Janis: it's snowing Janis: in case you'd forgotten Jimmy: that'll be why I want you to come inside Jimmy: tah for recognising it Janis: don't come near me then Jimmy: alright Janis: [show up a few minutes later] Jimmy: [we do be giving her space like she requested thankfully but we have made her a tea because it's our love language and it is cold af out there no lie] Janis: [act like you're not gonna take it for as long as you can but clearly do] Jimmy: [go to your bed sir and give it a while before you come at her again] Jimmy: What did you mean? Janis: about what? Jimmy: you said you don't wanna do this, which bit? Janis: I was talking about tonight Janis: not permanent plans Jimmy: weren't how it sounded Jimmy: you had a plan and it were to piss off back there as soon as Janis: both gotta work Janis: both got kids that don't belong to us Janis: just the obvious next step, really Jimmy: if you wanna pretend that's why, go on, obviously Janis: I'm not pretending shit Jimmy: you don't have to be a massive dickhead to keep it going just 'cause I already were Janis: obviously I don't want to spend no more time with you too Janis: why would I Jimmy: no idea Janis: there you go then Jimmy: alright then Janis: she'll be gutted Jimmy: ? Janis: Libi Jimmy: already spent ages longer here than we were going to Janis: true Jimmy: and she don't need to know that you're #overit and me Janis: makes playdates a bit awkward Jimmy: what's a bit more faking? nowt we haven't done before Janis: right Jimmy: she's less thick than most of our audience but still only a kid Janis: no need to break them up Jimmy: agreed Janis: sorted Jimmy: ✔ Janis: anything else we need to? Jimmy: like what? Janis: dunno Janis: why I asked Jimmy: it's your question, weren't me who asked it Janis: I don't ask questions I know the answer to Janis: as a rule Jimmy: if you had something in mind, say it Janis: there's loads of shit Janis: potentially Janis: mainly how we're finishing this if we are Jimmy: up to you that Jimmy: it's you who wants to Janis: no it isn't Jimmy: weren't me who said I wanna go back or that I dunno why you're worth spending time with Janis: like you've not said shit tonight Janis: and neither of those is saying I want to finish it, anyway Jimmy: what else does not wanting to spend any more time with someone mean? Janis: we've been mates for what, a minute? Janis: we were doing it before then Jimmy: so you just don't wanna be mates? Janis: not worked out so great thus far Jimmy: bit rude Janis: 🙄 Jimmy: it were going alright Jimmy: you don't need to chuck it all Jimmy: not for something that weren't about you Janis: you bighead is really showing Jimmy: how is it? Janis: 'chuck it all' Janis: I was fine before you came about, tah Jimmy: you know what I mean Janis: how you say shit matters Jimmy: how I say loads of bollocks Jimmy: you get most of it Janis: I'm dickhead lingual, I guess Jimmy: I'm sorry, alright Jimmy: for what I said when I was in pain, that load of bollocks Janis: if you never phrase it like that again Janis: alright Janis: forget about it Jimmy: deliberately will ALWAYS phrase it like that now, each time Janis: if you could not make a habit of it, be appreciated Jimmy: being a MASSIVE dickhead? bit late for that Janis: I can handle that Janis: taking shit back that you've said Janis: leave off that Jimmy: not a habit I want Jimmy: only fancy the ones that'll 💀💀💀 me which that ain't gonna if it makes you piss off out of it Janis: a deal then? Janis: deal back on, actually Jimmy: if we shake on it Janis: okay Janis: come out then Jimmy: come here then Jimmy: meant to take your advice and stay put like a good lad here 🛏 me Janis: you're awkward how and when it suits you Janis: [but does, obviously] Jimmy: [will shake your hand and pull you into a hug gal] Janis: [the most dramatic hug, definitely forgetting to be careful here soz] Jimmy: [not caring that much because we care more about the bae knowing how soz we are and how many feels we have] Janis: [likewise, the tension got too much and went wrong, as it does, and we're #shooketh] Jimmy: [straight up asking her to stay for a bit because we're in our emotions so we're just saying what we wanna say without thinking about it] Janis: [just nodding 'cos that's all we can do] Jimmy: [making room for her as if this isn't a single bed lol] Janis: [at least you'll remember to be careful again and not hug him so hard, but then you're like oh, 'cos don't want to make it a Thing™ again so 'sorry, if you think I was making it all about me'] Jimmy: [a noise like no that is not what we think because 1. the strength of how much we don't think that 2. what are words and just hugging her for the emphasis] Janis: [shrugs like it's okay but we're not gonna keep going like we don't believe him even if we lowkey don't] Jimmy: [just looking at her like ! 'I think it's more of a headfuck than you signed up for, nowt else'] Janis: [just looking like how do I even explain that that's not your fault and literally the last thing either of us should be concerned about because it does not matter, just shaking our head like nah] Jimmy: [playing with her hair cos it would've had snow on it recently because there is too much we wanna say about our feels and so much we feel like we can't say about our family situation] Janis: ['I CAN handle it' like trust me] Jimmy: ['me an' all' like same even though you lowkey can't] Janis: [soft kiss] Jimmy: [you can have some little kisses too gal like my boo loves] Janis: [just being the most soft] Jimmy: [you gotta] Janis: ['we're alright, yeah?'] Jimmy: [a nod because the emotions are still too high rn and I'm not letting you say shit thank you] Janis: [sigh of relief] Jimmy: [hugging you again cos we don't want you to leave] Janis: [you can stay here lads, the bubs will be alright and you'll hear if they ain't] Jimmy: [snuggle it's what you both need] Janis: [let 'em be for a hot sec] Jimmy: [mhmm] Janis: [what shall we do in the AM?] Jimmy: [make breakfast together for these bubs obvs because all the domestic bliss needed] Janis: [might have to trek to the shop to get supplies, that'll be an adventure] Jimmy: [maybe you can make them some kind of sledge because you're both crafty art hoes] Janis: [I bet there's some kind of tings in a caravan that would work, cannot think what exactly but we know the vibes, get creative] Jimmy: [I wouldn't have the first clue but you two would figure it out and you can get Cass to help she'd be into that] Janis: [as well as snowball fight and snowman making competition, which are 2 points we wanted to hit too] Jimmy: [love that and you can also make snow dogs for these bubs] Jimmy: [the question is should we let them have another night here before we send them back or is that too dangerous] Janis: [I think we should for the danger of it/to prove we can lol] Jimmy: [I'm down, just don't have another argument please] Janis: [hohaha, be good] Jimmy: [I have faith in you] Janis: [the only thing I've said you've done is baking/crafts so apart from that enjoy your snow/beach funtimes, you should also get chips for dinner, obvs] Jimmy: [yeah I'm trying to think if there's anything else they should do] Janis: [there's potential the kids have said more? because this is a whole long weekend and they don't know/care not to so, that's potentially something we need to know] Jimmy: [oh that's a good idea, is there any tea you want spilled] Janis: [hmm, she'd probably just KEEP talking about her parents like all the things she's been told about Edie specifically, so all that tea, just more than we've got out so far] Jimmy: [likewise can picture Bobby really driving home the point that he doesn't have a mum and like what he remembers about her being basically nothing so it'd be obvious they haven't seen her for ages not just since they moved] Janis: [poor babs, just bonding and JJ are here like and I OOP] Jimmy: [I hope Cass isn't around when you're spilling that tea bub cos she will be fuming] Janis: [that is potentially a thing unless he knows better by now lol] Jimmy: [this boy living his best life with his new bff deal with it Cass] Janis: [soz hen, you'll be hanging with your new mates as much as you can so we're probably fine] Jimmy: [getting all that arcade swag] Janis: [love that we're pretending we don't hear any of this clear drama lmao ly babes] Jimmy: [poor Jimothy having to just sign all this back and forth like] Janis: [I do think for a bit Libi would keep shouting like he'll hear her eventually 'cos she's only little so that'll be amusing/a time just screeching everything lowkey] Jimmy: [that's really pure babe I do stan you] Janis: [people like that's a loud child lollollol] Jimmy: [I hope you're not still shouting when you go home hun, hilarious as that would be] Janis: [mcvickers like lawd, she'll be showing them how to sign what she's learnt like just in case bobby comes round] Jimmy: [which he definitely will at some point, all the playdates forever] Janis: [fully gonna just try and take herself to Jimmy's all the time like no gal] Jimmy: [shows up at his door because they literally live that close to each other everyone like !!!???] Janis: [troublemaker baby] Jimmy: [do so love the edition of her to this lil family unit JJ are making here though, she really does add to it] Janis: [agreed, it's very cute, she'd probably have told him about how Astrid is technically her auntie but like a year younger 'cos that's wild to kids, so gonna get a sense of how messy this fam is lol] Jimmy: [and she doesn't talk either so Libi would be used to having to find ways to communicate with her too even though we know Ro be pretending there's no issue rn] Janis: [exactly dr phil, we all been knew and trying to work around it apart from ro lmao, just giving a lowdown on every auntie she has which would be amusing and probably a lowkey drag for some of y'all ladies, we know Janis and Billie are her faves] Jimmy: [I can wholeheartedly support those faves gal, Billie would always be doing the most for her and Astrid, fuck you Ro you dusty bitch, Bobby would love all this cos they lowkey have no fam] Janis: [take 'em for rides on your fancy wheelz, they'd love that, just like you can come meet them when we get back like okay JJ, all this is happening regardless, soz] Jimmy: [if she was here you'd have a bomb sledge hens she's probably built Libi and Astrid all kinds of things, Bobby will love all of Ali's animals and shit she has too, casual farm moment] Janis: [probably telling you every cats name too, poor Jimothy is gonna need a break lol] Jimmy: [unrelated but related do you think Ali would have space for any horses because I have all that Cass horse content] Janis: [I think it makes sense, I too have some gay horse content, like it wouldn't be a working farm but I think she'd have various farmyard animals just for the household] Jimmy: [yeah it made sense to me too, like your auntie vibes] Janis: [mhmm, and it could've been just land when we inherited it but she's swagged it up now she has more time/the kids aren't bubs etc] Jimmy: [Bobby just asking if they can have a kitten, Jimothy like NO] Janis: [I'm cackling, 'cos Libi like YEAH] Jimmy: [just like okay can we have a chicken/pony/donkey whatever else creatures there are, Jimothy like lawd] Janis: [just shoving the whole barn into your rental home, god bless you tiny fools] Jimmy: [and then Bobby obvs wants to phone Twix and Jimothy is just trying to distract him because we don't wanna phone Ian and he won't play along with this thank you] Janis: [distract y'all with an activity fast] Jimmy: [they could make dog treats, it's not very difficult] Janis: ]that's a good idea boo] Jimmy: [casual gift to these pups] Janis: [they'll enjoy that, kids and dogs, also can have a tea party for the toy pups lol] Jimmy: [so CUTE gonna say that Jimothy draws you a little comic strip or something about these pups kids] Jimmy: [I don't know what daily doodle you're getting today Janis, but something loved up for sure] Janis: [frankly, we're all living today hun] Jimmy: [do you wanna do this night like we did the one before with them chatting again or are we just saying it's a chill loved up vibe?] Janis: [hmm hmm hmm, let's do it, maybe we can be cute] Jimmy: [you start it then gal cos I did before] Janis: [on it sonic] Janis: 🥇🏆💪 Jimmy: 😏 Janis: come on, we bossed it Jimmy: no need to sound surprised

Just as the tension was getting to be almost too overwhelming, a waiter arrived with two menus, and you had never been so relieved to be served in your life.

“Thank you.” You said, smiling brightly as you took one and did your best to hide behind it under the guise of reading the dishes on offer. Thankfully there were pork free dishes on offer, which made you remember that you were going to have to educate Luca on Islam and it’s rules. Then you wondered if he would be as open and kind about there being another religion in his home as your father had been prior to his reversion. You guessed that Luca was Catholic, and while there were similarities between Catholicism and Islam, there were far more glaring differences.

“When we have our wedding,” you began hesitantly, “will it be in a church?”

“If I know my mother as well as I think I do, I doubt we’ll have a choice.” Luca joked. “Why?”

“Just checking!” You said quickly, going back to the menu. Even though there had not been a masjid in Small Heath, you had always dreamed of getting married in one. Your parents had to go all the way to London, so you figured that you would be able to do the same. Would New York have masjids? Would it have Muslims? Would it have Turkish Muslims?

“What's New York like?”

Luca paused, setting his menu down. “Well, for one, it’s a lot bigger than Small Heath.”

That made you smile. “I thought as much.”

“I don’t know, it’s just...hard to describe.” Luca drummed his fingers on the table, making your gaze flit down to his hand, and watch how elegantly it moved. “It’s full of life.” He said finally, his hand still again. “Everywhere you go there’s at least twelve dozen people around you, even at night it’s busy. Makes Small Heath look pretty sleepy in comparison.”

Your heart hammered in your chest as you considered this. Your mind ran wild with images of towering spires, roads that went on for kilometers, people dressed in all manner of ways. Your life had been a sheltered one, but that was all about to change.

A waiter soon arrived, asking for your orders.

“I’ll have the chicken Alfredo.” Luca said. He and the waiter both looked over at you, waiting for your order.

You began to panic as you had become too wrapped up in your thoughts to think of an order. “Oh um, make it two!” You said, inwardly wincing at how your voice raised at the end.

But the waiter made no indication of noticing, merely made a note of the orders and said that the kitchen would get right to it.

You looked back down at your teacup, eyes traveling over the lines, both dark and faint, trying to figure out what they were trying to tell you, if anything.

“Have you had much Italian food?” Luca asked, and you were grateful for the distraction.

“Not really.” You said. “Just Turkish and English food.”

“Well I can’t speak on Turkish food, but English stuff sucks.” Luca said bluntly.

A giggle slipped from you. “It can be pretty bland.” You agreed. “I mean, the English have an empire that spans the entire globe, with colonies that have incredible spices, but they never use them in cooking for some reason.” That would never cease to bamboozle you.

Luca grinned and chuckled. “I know Matteo can’t wait to be back in New York with proper food.”

You furrowed your brow. “Which one is he?”

Luca raised a brow, but pointed at a booth just a few meters away, where you recognised two of Luca’s men. “The one of the left is Matteo, and the other is Frederico.” He explained. “Matteo can be a little hot headed, but he’s loyal. Frederico is more quiet.” His gaze went back to you. “And they will both protect you.”

While the notion of being protected and watched by gangster was far from a new one, the gangsters in question were usually men you knew well. You glanced at them nervously. “So, they’re ok with this whole marriage thing.”

“That’s irrelevant.” Luca said dismissively. “They’re soldiers, and they’ll do what they’re told.”

You knew that was meant to put you at ease, but it didn’t work. They had orders yes, but orders have been ignored before. And you couldn’t help but wonder how they really felt about their leader marrying some girl from England, who belonged to a family that not a week ago they were planning to kill. You fisted the fabric of your dress that rested on your lap.

“W-Why me?” You asked quietly. You had managed to keep the question away from the front of your mind so far, but you needed to know. “Why would you choose me? If you were going to marry anyone, Ada would’ve been the smart choice. She’s Tommy’s sister, and she already has a son, she knows how to…” You trailed off, face burning. “Well, you know.” You cleared your throat. “Why are you marrying me?”

Luca was silent, his unreadable, impassive gaze slowly going over you. It made the hairs all over your body stand up, in fact your surprised that the hair on your head hadn’t all magically sprung to life. “I wanted to repay a debt.”

You furrowed your brow. “Debt? What debt? You don’t owe me anything.”

“It isn’t my debt.” Luca clarified. “It’s my mother’s.”

“Your...mother?”

He nodded. “She hasn’t forgotten, how you got her out of Small Heath.”

Oh. You looked back down, face flushing again. “I didn’t help your mum to have her in my debt.” You said, horrified that that’s what they, the Changretta’s and their people, all thought.

“I know.” Luca sounded calm, patient. “My mother said you weren’t that type. But you still got her out of Thomas’s path, and because of you she’s alive. I’m just repaying you. Now we’re even.”

You nodded, slowly, still not sure what to make of this reason, if it was in fact the truth.

If you were completely truthful, you hadn’t been thinking at all when you had gone to help Audrey Changretta. You just knew that her husband was dead, after hours of torture, and you knew that Tommy wouldn’t have thought twice to go after her. You still remembered that day, as if it had just happened.

While the early morning fog had still clung to your ankles, you raced to her home, heart hammering. You were terrified that you were too late or that she wasn’t home, but she was there, tired and a little disheveled, but there.

“You have to leave.” You had blurted out. “I’m so sorry. Tommy’s killed your husband and you have to go I’m so sorry I really am but you need to go please, please just go!”

It had taken you a few minutes to calm down and fully explain everything, but once you had, Mrs Changretta did as you asked. You even helped her pack, and kept an eye out for any Blinders. You went with her to the train station, all the while telling her how sorry you were. You were almost hysterical, and in tears by the time her train arrived. You thought that would be the last time you ever saw a Changretta.

When Tommy heard that Mrs Changretta was gone, he was livid. You had walked in on him yelling at John and Arthur, demanding that they go out and find her, leave no stone unturned, no person unquestioned. He was going to have his pound of flesh, one way or another.

“She’s gone.” Once again your mouth had moved faster than your brain could think, and you stared, wide eyed, as the three brothers and Polly all looked at you in shock.

“She’s what.” Tommy’s tone had been dripping with venom, and it sent a chill all through you.

“I’m sorry Tommy but I-I helped her leave.” You wilted a little, hunched over, equal parts ashamed and scared. “She didn’t do anything Tommy! She-”

You were cut off by the feel of skin colliding harshly against your cheek, sending you to the ground.

In a daze you looked up, to see Tommy being restrained by Arthur and John, while Polly screamed at him.

“YOU DON’T RAISE A HAND TO FAMILY LIKE THAT THOMAS!” You had never seen your aunt so furious, and it had only made your state worse.

“DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!” Thomas roared, eyes alight with rage. “YOU BETRAY THIS FAMILY AGAIN AND YOU’RE OUT!”

You began to cry. “I-I’m sorry Tommy! I’m sorry!” You wept and begged for forgiveness, but that had only angered Tommy further.

“Should ship you to fucking Istanbul!” He snarled. He paused when a child’s cries began to echo in the house, making him look at the ceiling. “And you fucking woke up Charlie!” Tommy managed to shake off his two brothers, and he glared down at you before getting out a cigarette. “I mean it.” He said, in his low, quiet, dangerous voice. “If you ever pull that shit again, I’ll put you in a fucking crate myself.”

Even after Polly got you out of the house you were sobbing, still saying how sorry you were.

“Don’t be sorry sweetheart.” Polly had said gently. “You did a good thing.”

‘Did I?’

“How is your mother?” You asked, trying to ignore the memory of the stinging pain from Tommy’s slap.

“She’s alive, which is what matters.” Luca smiled gently. “Thank you. I mean that. My mother is all I have left now.”

You nodded, swallowing thickly. “I would do it again.” You said, only realizing how true it was once all the words had left your mouth.

“Two chicken Alfredos.” The waiter had reappeared, carrying the dishes on a silver platter and laying them out in front of the both of you.

“Grazie.”

“Thank you so much.”

The waiter nodded before moving onto another table.

“Still can’t believe you people don’t tip.” Luca said, sounding genuinely mistified.

“What’s a tip?”

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part ?

A/N: holy shit, i finally made a second part! Like woah high school really got me in a writing slump i stg. But, it’s here!! Sorry about the hiatus y’all, again, HIGH SCHOOL SUCKS.

[Y/n] tried to act normal when she came in the next day, kept to herself, hiding her face behind her hair as she moved from class to class. The events of the night before replayed over and over in her head like a broken record. The full-on realization, that what happened last night could have ended in her death, didn’t hit her until she got home. She could have died, and barely managed to defend herself before Spider-Man got there. Maybe she would have died if he didn’t, or even something worse. [Y/n] hated that she thought that way, it made her feel weak.

Like she wasn’t safe anymore.

Thoughts like these plagued her mind all day and seemed to make the dark circles under her eyes even darker. And to make it all worse, two dudes in her Engineering class wouldn’t stop staring at her. 

When [Y/n] first started feeling eyes on her in 3rd period, she just thought it was her mind messing with her from the night before. But then she felt them in lunch, this time she turned around to see Peter Parker and Ned Leeds awkwardly whipping their heads in opposite directions while Michelle Jones gave them a side-eye. She again rubbed it off, but now it was period 7-8 and the girl glanced back to see them yet again, this time hiding behind textbooks.

“Take a picture, Dickheads. It’ll last longer,” [Y/n] turned around and glared at the two boys, watching both of their faces burn scarlet.

She raised an eyebrow at Peter when his mouth opened, silencing him before he could say anything in his defense, and then faced back to the front of the class. The rest of the day went relatively smooth after that, with the exception of her sour mood of course. She went to English class with the relief of not seeing either boy located inside it, and then the school day ended. But [Y/n] couldn’t leave that soon, nope, she had bigger plans than that.

She darted to the basement doors immediately after the final bell rang, feet stomping down the stairs towards the Workshop Room. It was usually reserved for seniors, but things like that change when someone gets insistent enough. [Y/n], for example, wouldn’t stop pushing Mr. Chan to look at her blueprints and previous accomplishments for about two weeks straight until he gave in. She gave Mr. Chan a small wave when she entered the room, himself throwing on the same dark green jacket he always did.

“Make sure to lock her up, [Y/l/n],” He advised and tossed her the keys to the area.

“Always!” A real smile sported her face for the first time that day and she moved to the back corner of the room.

Located there was her station, a large metal desk with a hardwood countertop. Various pieces of machinery hung from hooks above the station, accompanied by assorted sizes of metal disks. The skeleton of what looked to be a half-built bike laid against the wall next to it. [Y/n] placed the keys down on the far left side and pulled her backpack out, plopping it down on the countertop with a resounding metallic thud. As she began pulling out various tools and prototypes, she heard the door open and close. Her head whipped up to see none other than Peter Parker.

“Woah! Is this all yours? I thought only seniors could have workshops, is your project funded?” He excitedly questioned and she crossed her arms.

“So you’re not only a creep, you’re a stalker now? What do you want?” And just like that, her mood flipped.

“Oh- a yeah. Sorry about all that today,” He awkwardly put a hand on the neck of his neck and she frowned, for some reason the action and voice were familiar. “Ned has a crush on you and we’re just awkward, but that’s why I’m down here actually. Just to say sorry for being creeps and stuff.”

[Y/n] felt her eyes narrow, a rising suspicion creeping through her thoughts. She didn’t know why, but she could just tell that something was up. A scent of bullshit in the air that she couldn’t quite ignore, “Ned Leeds? You’re telling me that Ned, your best friend, likes me?”

“.. Yeah,” he weakly answered and she responded with a hand on her hip, “then why isn’t he down here apologizing to me himself? Or better yet, isn’t it kind of fucked up that you’re his best friend and you’re spilling the beans about his crush on me?”

His mouth hung agape after that, a valid excuse not coming to mind while she stared at him expectantly. It had almost been a minute before he managed to think up a reply, not that it was much better than his last though, “Ned doesn’t have a crush on you-“

“-Thought so,” She interrupted with a proud smirk before Peter continued, his cheeks taking on a slight red hue.

“I do.” Her eyes went wide, her cheeks now red as well.

She didn’t know why she believed him when he said it this time, but it caught her off guard. Her eyes slyly glanced up and down his features, [Y/n] always thought that he was cute but she never thought about him in this sort of circumstance. Peter was just a kid in a few of her classes, where was all of this coming from?

“Maybe I can make up for being a stalker, by getting you a milkshake or something?” It was now his turn to smirk, but [Y/n] still couldn’t shake the suspicious feeling.

“I’m lactose intolerant-“ She blurted out immediately and watched confusion form on his face.

“-Besides I’m not in the right mindset to be going on a date with you, Stalker. Get to know me first, and maybe I’ll reconsider.”

A large grin took up his features after that and she couldn’t help the small smile forming on her own lips, “Don’t get all giddy, I said maybe.”

They both chuckled and she looked down to her tools, pulling down one of the metallic disks from its hook above her desk. Peter pulled a stool up to the other side of her desk and she raised an eyebrow, “Yes, Stalker, you can watch me work.”

She watched his face freeze upon hearing her sarcasm before she added, “I don’t care, I’m usually down here alone anyways.”

The next few hours were spent with the two of them working on her inventions and him questioning anything, and everything, he could. And after that, he helped her lock up and walked her home, something which helped more than [Y/n] would ever be willing to admit.
