YOU’RE SOMEBODY ELSE, t. zegras & h. brothers

part two <3

word count | 1.4k

pairings | trevor zegras x fem!hughes!reader, platonic!luke hughes x sister!reader, platonic!quinn hughes x sister!reader, platonic!jack hughes x sister!reader,

summary | the youngest hughes sibling is slowly becoming someone she can’t recognize

warnings | mentions of self-harm, suicidal ideation, and depression. ANGST. not proofread. this is not a very happy fic, based on the song you’re somebody else by flora cash. no use of "y/n". lowercase intended. uses of the nicknames for reader include: miss sunshine, bub, & kid

a/n | i’m surprised with how my other post turned out, i definitely was not expecting that lol. here's another sad fic, based on another sad song. i wrote this at 1 am when i couldn’t sleep, so i apologize if this sucks.

you held the balance of the time

that only blindly i could read you

but i could read you

it's like you told me

go forward slowly

it's not a race to the end

she was their sunshine. the youngest hughes sibling and luke’s twin sister was an open book. she wore her heart on her sleeve, and was the sweetest soul around. she had her brothers wrapped around her finger, and it didn’t take long for trevor zegras to fall for her enchanting smile. he made her happy, something only her family had ever truly achieved. quinn remembered the moment she ran into his room, threw herself on his bed as she squealed: “quinny, i think i’m in love!”

quinn held a soft smile on his face as she went on and on about the date trevor had taken her on. she had trusted him to hold this secret until the couple was ready to tell the two other hughes brothers, who would more than likely overreact. “well, bub, i’m happy for you, but if he hurts you, you tell me and i’ll break his face.” quinn promised, laughing when she hit his shoulder in retaliation.

“please, as if!” she laughed, getting up to hug quinn. “thanks, quinny. i love you.”

“i love you too, kid.” quinn watched as she practically bounced out of his room. she was so clearly in love, blinded by it even. maybe that's where everything went wrong. maybe they moved too fast, maybe she needed to learn to truly love herself before she could truly love him.

you were the better part

of every bit of beating heart that i had

whatever i had

i finally sat alone

pitch black flesh and bone

couldn't believe that you were gone

trevor zegras loved her, he loved her more than he thought he would ever be able to love someone. and it wasn’t that she didn't love him, it was that she didn't love herself. she made trevor a better person, made him want to do right by others. if she had taken the time to take care of herself like she had taken care of everyone else, maybe they could’ve made it. maybe, he had loved her too much. maybe, they were doomed from the start.

now, trevor was alone, unsure of what to do. she had left him, claiming that she wasn’t ready. that she loved him, but she could never love him like how he loved her. that she didn’t know how to love herself, so how could she love him? still, trevor blamed himself. he was angry that he couldn’t have shown her how much good she brought to this cruel world. he spent too many nights stuck in thought about her, about how things could’ve been different.

she spent too many nights stuck in thought about how the world would be better without her. about how things would be better for everyone if she was gone.

well, you look like yourself

but you're somebody else

only it ain't on the surface

well, you talk like yourself

no, i hear someone else though

now you're making me nervous

change is inevitable. it is bound to happen, yet the youngest hughes sibling feared change. she felt herself becoming a person she could no longer recognize, it was like her body was a house that had been intruded by unwelcome visitors. she looked the same, yet she had changed so much.

she never told her brothers the real reason she had broken up with trevor, instead she simply told them they had grown apart. however, one look at trevor zegras told them it was more than just that. it was after that they began to notice the subtle changes in her: the joyous laughs that use to fill the lake house were much more quiet and less frequent, and her smile never quite met her eyes.

it was after luke caught a glimpse of the scars that littered his twin’s thighs and stomach that they knew it was serious. luke tried to talk to her, to figure out what was going on but she would find anyway to divert the conversation, to get away from the inevitable change.

luke led his twin into the basement where quinn and jack were waiting. he had promised a movie night, just him and his sister and god, did he feel guilty about what he was about to do. he quickly shut the door, blocking her only way out. the look on her face made him want to break down. the once bright, bubbly girl looked nervous and so very tired. tired like she knew she couldn’t keep going like this without telling someone.

she took one look at her older brothers before breaking down in sobs. luke was quick to embrace her, jack and quinn on their feet in an instant. the words tumbled out, the need to tell someone being so unbearably overwhelming.

“i can’t do it anymore. i can’t keep living like this. i can’t look in a fucking mirror because i hate myself! i hate how i look, the way i talk and laugh! that’s why i do this to myself because i fucking deserve it!” she rolled up her sleeve, revealing the healing scars.

“there’s this fucking war going on in my head and i’m losing. i can’t keep going, i don’t wanna keep going! i wish that i could go back to when i was a kid, to when i wasn’t so fucked in the head.” the words just kept coming, as well as the tears. she couldn’t see it, but her brothers were in shambles at this revelation. the fact that their sister hated herself so much she would physically hurt herself, that she couldn’t see how much she meant to them. “maybe i’m just better off dead.”

“don’t say that, don’t you ever fucking say that or even think that.” luke pulled back, looking to his sister.

“bub, why didn’t you tell us you felt this way?” quinn questioned, watching as she took the tissue jack offered her. she sat on the couch, pulling her knees to her chest. jack sat beside her, looking at her with teary eyes. luke was on her other side, his arm wrapped around her shoulders. quinn sat in front of her, a broken look on his face; he was the oldest of them all, he was supposed to protect them. why couldn’t he have protected her from this?

“i didn’t want to be a burden.” she sniffled, avoiding eye contact. jack scoffed beside her, pulling her gaze to him.

“you? a burden? miss sunshine, you could never be a burden. your feelings are not a burden.” she felt relieved, glad that she would not have to carry this weight alone. tears began to cascade down her face as she allowed jack to hug her. she cried as her twin and oldest brother joined.

“you are so loved, miss sunshine. so fucking loved.” quinn kissed her forehead, a smile creeping on to her face.

“thank you.” she rasped out, drying her eyes. she fell silent for a moment, deep in thought. “i was promised a movie night…” she trailed off, a smile adorning her face. this time it reached her eyes. “but first, i have someone i need to talk to.”

she stood up, walking to the basement bathroom. she closed the door behind her, taking a seat on the lid of the toilet. she dialed a number on her phone, hesitating slightly before she hit the call button. it rang a couple times before he picked up. “hey, z, you busy?”

“are you alright?”

“yeah, yeah, i’m okay. just really needed to hear your voice.” she smiled, even though he couldn’t see it.

“are you sure you’re okay?” he questioned, concern clear in his voice.

“yeah, i'll explain everything when you get here next week, i just needed to hear your voice.” she heard distant voices on his end, followed by rustling as he pulled the phone away from his ear.

“i’m sorry, but i gotta go.” he sounded upset, still clearly very concerned about her.

“that's okay, z. uh, before you go, i’m sorry... about everything.”

“its okay, it'll all be okay.�� more distant voices could be heard, “i gotta go, i love you.” he ended the call, probably not realizing what he had said. it was in that moment, she knew everything would be alright.

i saw the part of you

that only when you're older,

you will see too

coming soon to tumblr | handyman!harry

821 word teaser - 10k+ one shot already posted on Patreon.

One shot summary: When you inherit your aunt's estate after she passes away, you hire Harry to fix up the old house but that's not all he winds up being good for. Based on this request.

. . .

Everything flowed so nicely with Harry. He was easy to talk to and you trusted that he knew what he was doing. And it didn’t hurt that his voice was soothing and deep and slow. You could listen to him talk about solid hardwood versus engineered hardwood all day long if he let you.

“Well, I’ll be heading out now I guess. Be back first thing in the morning and start on this porch.”

You walked him to his big truck and shook his hand again, thanking him for taking the job and feeling a bit overwhelmed and emotional at everything.

Overwhelmed because Harry was so genuinely kind and you knew immediately you could trust him completely. Which just added to his charm and sex appeal. You really tried to push down the fact that he was so stunningly attractive because that wasn’t going to do you any good. And even though Mr. George told you he was single, you couldn’t imagine that was true. Someone as yummy-looking and kind-hearted as Harry? There was no way he wasn’t at least seeing someone.

But you were also emotional because you were finally going to get to see your aunt Gayla’s house restored to its original glory. It was going to be a real labor of love but it felt so good to be doing it. You had never felt so sure you were on the right path in life until that day. Until Harry arrived with his big truck and assured you that you’d get everything you wanted and that it would end up being even better than before.

And for the first time since you moved into that old house, you sat down and began to write. You’d gotten nearly ten thousand words written and were awake well into the wee hours of the morning typing away with the sudden inspiration you’d gotten. You fell asleep with your laptop next to you when you couldn’t hold your eyes open any longer.

You were woken to the sound of pounding and clanking and creaking which had you startled as you sat up in your bed and looked around your bedroom. The sun filled the space with light and you picked up your cellphone to note the time and saw a missed call from Harry.

Wrapping your robe around yourself you ran down the stairs all frazzled and rushed and burst onto the front porch, tripping over a stack of fresh boards and landing on your knees and palms like an idiot.

“Hey… hey…” you heard Harry’s deep voice from behind you as he slid his hands under your arms to help you up, “You okay?”

“Oh my god…” you croaked out the first words of the day from your throat, “I just woke up and realized you were here and… Sorry!”

He turned you to face him and looked down over your knees and lifted your palms upward to inspect, “Let’s get you cleaned up. Took quite the spill there. Sorry, I shouldn’t have stacked those boards right there.”

You felt your heart calm as he led you into your kitchen. He was so gentle with you, which for some reason you hadn’t expected. You knew he was kind but this seemed very much outside of the scope of his job description, “No, it’s fine! It’s me. I’d probably trip over the boards no matter where you had them stacked. I’m a bit of a nervous nelly. And when I woke up I just… I was startled. Fell asleep late and didn’t set an alarm…”

Harry grinned at you as you ran your faucet and put your hands under it, “It’s fine. No need to rush or get all riled up. I got here a bit early and when you didn’t answer I just figured I’d start on the porch. Think I’ll replace your doorbell as well. It’s not working either.”

You dried your hands and smiled at Harry, “I’ll get you a key before you leave today. In case I’m not here or I’m sleeping again. Sorry… I just had this burst of inspiration last night and typed until I passed out. It’s…”

“You’re fine,” you watched his eyes drop down to your torso and then bounce back up quickly to your face.

When you looked down at yourself you realized your robe was twisted and while all your bits were covered, they were barely covered.

“Jesus fucking Christ… I’m sorry, Harry. I’m a mess…” you pulled the material into place and adjusted the robe.

Harry put his hands at the tops of your arms, “Hey… you’re fine. Take a breath. It’s a beautiful morning and the birds are singing, and just look at this view…” he motioned toward your window where you could see trees and lush green grass stretch along the front of the house, “Now… Do you have some alcohol to clean up the cuts on your knees?”

dating a rival - j. swayman

welcome post!

dating a rival wasn’t easy. when you had to move from north carolina to boston for a job opportunity, being present as a carolina hurricanes fan became impossible. you cheered from the comfort of your home, missing the energy that only raleigh could build at the pnc arena. game day. you were split between your home team and your boyfriend’s performance. the hardest thing to deal was that jeremy couldn’t help being a fucking great goalie. the bruins weren't doing that well, but jeremy blocked every single shot from the opponent. frustrated groans left your mouth the whole game. no water, no pacing around, no hair grabbing were enough to calm you down.

“fuck. jer, why do you have to be so good?” you muttered, answering yourself seconds after, “yeah, that’s what caught my attention in the first place. fuck.”

he texted you as soon as he finished his interview, so you called him.

“hi, baby! congrats on the win, i’m so proud of you for dealing with the canes all by yourself!”

he laughed, knowing how pissed off you probably were for the loss.

“thank you, love. how are you feeling? don’t pretend to be only happy for me.”

“it was a great game, i’m proud of my other goalie too, okay?” you sighed. “you should come over, i’m gonna get us some food. it’s gonna be delivery, though. i have no brain cells left to cook.”

“no plans on poisoning my food?” he joked.

“i have some plans for you, but none of them are deadly.” you bit your lip, trying to contain yourself. lowering your voice, almost as a whisper, you said: “come over.”

jeremy froze on the other side of the line.

“okay. be there soon.”

after dinner, you talked about the game from two different perspectives. it was chill, a moment to catch up as a couple, some laughs and all of that. but deep inside jeremy couldn’t stop thinking about the real reason you’d invited him over. couldn’t stop thinking of having you all over him tonight after this win.

“i can see your thoughts working, jer. do you want to say something else?”

“i was wondering if you, hum, if you had something other than dinner in mind.”

you tilted your head, faking a confusion jeremy didn’t notice because of how nervous he was.

“well, in fact, i was thinking of congratulating you. but i didn’t want to jump right into it.”

jeremy nodded.

“do you want that right now?”

he was trying to put himself together, finding it hard to do such a thing when your eagle eyes were watching him like that.

“tell me what you had in mind.”

you got up from your cuddling position to sit on his lap. with a soft caress on his bearded cheek, you said: “i’m really proud of you. i’m proud of how fucking great you were out there.” you gave him a peck, his eyes didn’t lose focus once. “so, this is how it’s going to be… i’m going to give you everything you deserve, you’ll decide what it is. i’ll give you everything you want, jer, because you worked for it.”

you adjusted yourself on his lap, getting a helpless moan from him. he was gone already.

“i need you to tell me what you want, baby, i need your words.” your voice turned into a whisper as you got close to his ear, leaving soft kisses on the side of his neck. “want me to start by sucking your cock? let you go all the way down my throat? or do you want me to slide over it right now? i could let you come inside, you know? i think it’s a proper special occasion.”

you could feel him hardening. all the talking with soft kisses were leaving his mind blurred.

“jer, i need your words. this time it should be all about you, then in my turn i would get what i deserve. don’t you think that’s fair enough?” you grabbed his chin, facing his fucked up expression.

you waited for his response, noticing his every move. it was fun to have him like this once in a while, you were going to enjoy every step of the long way.

“please, just… just kiss me and we’ll go from there, okay?” he gulped. “just fucking kiss me right now.”

Sweet Pain

Kai Anderson x virgin!reader smut

word count: 2.3k

my first ever actual Kai smut and… I kinda hate it but I’m not gonna waste 2.3k words and three days of my life to not post it

warnings: Uhm Kai… blowjobs, forceful Kai, unprotected sex, loss of virginity

Kai wasn’t exactly one to be gentle. He just wasn’t. It wasn’t in his nature. You’d known Kai for many months. Had been his first ‘follower’ as he called you. You would have liked to at least be called a friend. That’s what you were, right? Friends? You’d been there for Kai since day one. Supported him in everything he did, made sure he always had food, and anything else he needed, all to just be called a follower?

It hurt. It hurt to see him treat you like nothing when you were there before everyone else. The only real person who came before you was his own sister. Winter. Now don’t get it wrong, he could be nice when he wanted to, but it was usually for his gain. He wasn’t just nice for the hell of it.

But one thing was for sure. You were his. His alone. His little lamb. No matter how hard it was for him to show it, he did love you in some way.

The one thing he hadn’t done yet was make love to you. Or…well, fuck you. You were a virgin, and you made that known. Kai wasn’t worried about that. He could take you anytime he wanted to, so it wasn’t for your sake that he waited.

He wanted you so tightly wrapped around his finger that getting to take your virginity was just the icing on his odd, cultish cake.

And that’s exactly what he did.

After one of many weekly meetings with his followers, he asked you to stay behind. You swallowed hard, a swell of nervousness rising up inside. You knew you hadn’t done anything wrong, so why were you still so nervous? Maybe because it was Kai. You never knew what to expect from him. He was unpredictable.

“Little lamb, why are you so nervous?” He asked with a chuckle, smoothing his bright blue hair out of his face as his eyes scanned your body. You weren’t sure you liked the way he was looking at you right now. It was almost predatory.

“I just… I’m not in trouble am I?” You asked, swallowing hard as you felt your voice shake.

“Why would you be in trouble, little lamb. Unless…” he began, taking a step towards you “you did something wrong?” He asked curiously

“No! No I didn’t… I didn’t do anything wrong I just-“

“Then you have nothing to be afraid of. I just want to talk to you.” He said gently. It was odd. His voice didn’t match his posture or expression. It was too… sweet. Almost a fake kind of sweet.

He carefully brushed his hand down your cheek, forcing you to look at him. Without a word he took your hand and led you upstairs. You figured you’d talk in the living room, but he led you up another flight of stairs and to his room. A shudder ran through you. What was he planning?

“Kai I- I don’t-“ he hushed you dismissively, closing the door behind you, and much to your worry, locked it too. There was no good reason why he would lock it.

“Get on the bed for me.” He said sternly, beginning to take off his jacket

“Woah- woah what are you d-doing?” You backed up until you hit the bed, having no choice but to sit.

“I’m going to take you to bed. Isn’t that obvious? You’re smart aren’t you dear?” He chuckled, lifting off his shirt and revealing his toned, milky body.

“What?” Your eyes were wide as you looked up at him, now hovering over you, hands on his belt buckle.

“But I’m a-“

“Virgin, yes I know. I’m well aware, but after tonight you won’t be.”

His words nearly made your heart stop. He was going to take your virginity? After all these months, all this time longing for him? After begging for any scrap of his attention?

You just nodded slowly, because at this point did you even really have a choice? It was Kai here, he wouldn’t care if you fought him. If he wanted something, he was going to get it.

“I’ll be gentle with you this one time, since it’s your first. But don’t expect anything after that. Got it?”

All you could do was nod, unable to find words. Your eyes locked onto his hands that were deftly undoing his belt, sliding it through the loops in his pants before tossing it onto the floor. One step closer you thought.

“Now my little lamb, you’re going to be a good girl and take my cock, yes? Yes, you’ll be my good girl.” Oh god, his voice. His fucking voice. It was so rough, so deep.

“You’re going to be polite, and you’re going to do everything daddy tells you to, got it? Or else I’ll have to punish you, and I don’t want to have to do that..” he trailed off, unbuttoning and unzipping his jeans, pulling them down to his knees.

“Yes K-Kai…” you muttered. Kai wasn’t happy with that answer. He slammed you against the bed, crawling on top of you as he practically ripped off your shirt. You wanted to squirm away, but he held you so tight that you couldn’t get out of his grip.

“You’re- y-you’re hurting me-'' you cried, looking up at him with wide eyes, for the first time, truly afraid of the man on top of you.

“You can call me a lot of things in bed. Kai isn't one of them.” He growled, breath hot against your face.

“Daddy for example.. or divine ruler.” He put extra emphasis on the latter, which could only make you assume he preferred that one.

“I-I’m sorry d-divine ruler-“ you sniffled, eyes welling with tears as you swallowed hard. Much to your relief, Kai let up, letting go of you and sitting up.

“I think I know a better way for you to apologize.” He grinned, pulling his boxers down. You couldn’t help but glance down… and what you saw made your core flutter.

His cock was thick, hard, and leaking pre-cum from the tip. His large hand was wrapped around it, stroking it slowly as he watched you watch him.

“Well…?” He said, looking at you like you were stupid. And maybe you were. Maybe you were stupid for even being with him. For being in this situation. But right now all you could think about was his thick cock down your throat.

You carefully reached a hand out to stroke him, his length so girthy that your fingers barely reached fully around it. It was definitely going to hurt when he put it inside of you. If it even fits, that is.

You lowered your quivering lips to the tip of his cock, pressing a gentle kiss to it. You weren’t exactly scared, just… a bit nervous. You hadn’t done anything like this before and you weren’t exactly sure what to expect. Especially with Kai.

Kai hummed his approval, looking down at you as he tapped his thick cock head against your lips, urging you on.

“Come on baby, be a good girl for me, yeah? Be so good and maybe you’ll get rewarded.”

You had no choice but to listen. Kai was like a drug. Addictive. You couldn’t just stop. That’s not how it worked with him.

You enveloped the head of his cock between your lips, sucking on it like a lollipop. That’s what you’d seen in the very few porn videos you’d watched.

You felt a bit better about it all when Kai groaned above you, adam’s apple bobbing in his throat as he tilted his head back again. He looked sinful. Beautiful.

“Goooood fucking girl. Keep going, choke on it.” And you did. Kai pushed into your mouth further, causing your throat to close up and your gag reflex to start. He didn’t care, nor did he stop. He fucked into your throat, holding your hair tightly in his grip as he let his cock slide in and out of your awaiting mouth. You were sure your throat would be bruised after this all.

This went on for a few minutes before Kai seemed satisfied. Tears fell down your face, smudging your mascara. Your lips were puffy and swollen, and your throat was scratchy, a lingering taste of… man on your tongue.

“Very good girl for me, for your divine ruler.” He crawled back over you again, hands roaming across your body as his deft fingers unbuttoned your pants, pulling them off in one quick motion. You suddenly felt very vulnerable in only your bra and panties.

“Don’t hide from me, you’re gorgeous.” He spoke, seeming to sense your embarrassment. He seemed to know everything. Always one step ahead.

He nearly ripped your panties off as he tugged them down your legs, leaving your lower half completely bare to him. Exposed. Your heart fluttered hard in your chest, beating a million miles a minute as you tried to keep your legs closed.

Kai clicked his tongue in distaste, immediately shoving his way between your thighs, placing his thick cock head at your entrance. That’s when you realized he wasn’t even going to prep you on his fingers first. What an asshole.

“K-Kai-i'm not-“ you tried to speak, but he dismissed you, his dick brushing against your clit which sent a pleasurable spark through your body. It was soon diminished by the searing pain of him stretching you completely open on his cock.

“Hush my little lamb. You were made for this. Made to take me. Take my seed.” He whispered against your ear, breathing labored as he continued to push into you.

Your eyes were squeezed shut, a few tears managing to slip as you cried quietly. It hurt. It was an odd pain. One that wasn’t easily explained. Almost searing, but dull. Not completely unbearable but not nice either.

“Gooooood fucking girl.” He cooed, the praise making you perk up a bit. He had pushed himself into the hilt and was just resting against you, being nice enough to let you adjust.

He didn’t kiss you. Didn’t really do anything, just waited a few minutes to give you the chance to calm yourself. To adjust to the foreign feeling of him inside of you.

He did finally pull out and you glanced down between your bodies, gasping as you saw his cock was covered in a thin layer of blood. Your blood. You were bleeding.

“K-Kai-“ he could have reprimanded you for using his name, but he sensed your worry and shook his head, hands rubbing over your thighs comfortingly.

“It’s normal.” He said casually, beginning to rock back into you gently, a grunt falling from his lips.

“Not all women bleed. Some do. It just depends.” He whispered, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

This really was a new side of Kai you hadn’t seen before. He was careful. Caring. Gentle. Attentive.

“There we go, you’re loosening up, feel it?” He thrust into you a bit more and you gasped. It still hurt a bit, but there was something else too. A tingling sensation, a pleasurable buzz. It felt good.

Kai began to find a steady rhythm. In and out, in and out, in and out. Over and over and over. Each time he thrust full into you, his pelvis brushed against your clit, and it felt so so good. His cock didn’t feel magical, it just made you feel very very full. It was an interesting feeling that would surely take some getting used to to truly enjoy.

Kai was beginning to fall apart above you, you could tell. His face was scrunched up, his hips were beginning to falter, and he was letting out groans and moans left and right.

“Fuck, that’s it, so good baby girl, being so good for your divine ruler. Bet you’d do anything I asked, huh?” Jesus, he talked a lot. He never shut up it seemed, but you found yourself not minding.

His hand reached down between the two of you and a look of confusion crossed your face before you realized what he was doing. The pleasure suddenly felt 10x stronger as his thumb circled your clit, applying just the right amount of pleasure to get you trembling.

“I feel- I- I feel-“ you stuttered, unable to exactly describe it. You felt like you were going to orgasm, but with Kai inside of you it felt… different. Stronger in a way.

Your pussy began to clench around his length, the slick squelching sounds filling the room along with Kai’s pants and mumbles under his breath.

You didn’t even see it coming. Didn’t have time to brace yourself before your orgasm was crashing over you like a tsunami. Wave after wave. You felt like you were drowning. It was hard to breathe. You’d never felt such pleasure in your life.

As you came down from your high, you were briefly aware of Kai’s final, loud moan before he stilled inside of you, filling you up with his warm seed. It felt so nice that you almost forgot that he hadn’t worn a condom and had just come inside of you…

“Kai you just-“

“I know. And if this goes according to my plan, you will be the mother to my messiah baby.” You were so hazy that you barely processed his words. You just nodded, relaxing into the bed. You’d clean up later. You were too tired to get up and even if you found the strength, you figured your legs would give out on you.

You’d surely be sore in the morning, and maybe even… pregnant? But you guess it had all been worth it, getting to have your virginity taken by your very own divine ruler.

Sparkle x (Gender Neutral) Reader

NSFW, 18+ only

Warnings: overstimulation, dub-con, Sparkle being Sparkle (crazy but she loves you), use of her Mask/powers

I actually posted this yesterday before the Sunday one-shot but for some reason it wasn't showing in tags?? So trying this again rip

Your vision went dark, and you yelped at the sudden intrusion; a pair of hands cupping over your eyes as you could feel someone pressing into your back. “Guess who?” There was only one person who could get into your house and sneak up on you without making a sound. It startled you every time she did it, but you were more than half certain that your reactions were the reason she did it in the first place.

You breathed a sigh of relief, “Sparkle,” You twisted in her grip, smiling at her. “You’re home.” You pulled her into a hug, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

“Blegh, c’mon cut it out.” She squirmed in your grip, breaking away to look at what you had cooking on the stove instead. The weather was getting colder so you were craving soup, and luckily it was just about finished. She peered into the pot, sticking a finger in to taste it. “It needs more salt.”

“Babe, you’re gonna burn yourself doing that,” you chastised.

She sighed, shrugging as she spoke, “I come home after a long work trip and you’re already nagging me. Lighten up.” You’d feel bad if there was any modicum of sincerity in the statement, but she was a Fool afterall, and she loved to grace you with any number of masks, always making you guess which was the real face beneath.

Sparkle started dishing up the soup, and the two of you sat at the dinner table to eat together. It was a rare occurrence to be able to have these quieter, domestic moments with her, as she was always flitting about traveling everywhere and you didn’t want to tie her down. Not that she ever could be. But it was becoming increasingly obvious she wanted you to join her on her excursions, even if she’d never directly ask.

“How was your job?” You asked. She hadn’t disclosed many details, but you knew it involved the Stellaron Hunters, so it couldn’t have been a particularly easy time.

She smiled at you, her eyes playful even though her smile was sharp. “Everything went off without a hitch. I’m taking you to Penacony soon. The Planet of Festivities is quite a sight.”

“I’ll have to take time off work,” you replied.

Sparkle’s smile widened, an obviously fake cheer added to her voice as she spoke, “Work this, work that, can’t we talk about something else? I can always kill your boss to get you time off.”

You tried to stifle a giggle, knowing if she thought it’d make you laugh she’d actually do it. “C’mon it’s not worth all that.”

She propped her head on one of her hands. “You don’t even need a job.” This is about as direct as she’d ever be. She was always peculiar about expressing her desires to you, either telling you nothing or telling you a million and one things, making it impossible to guess which were true and which were not. She was like this in most things, intimacy included. Sometimes, she’d insist on being so close to you it was suffocating, like you were trapped in a spider’s web, and sometimes she refused to touch you. Everything was always a part of the game, the play, a Masked Fool to the end.

As always, she was right though. She always deposited money into your account regardless of whether you wanted her to or not. So you didn’t really need a job, though it was one of the only threads to the past you still had from before you met her. Sometimes you thought it made her nervous, other times angry, others still, sad. You weren’t sure which was correct, though at the end of the day it didn’t matter, since it seemed to make her feel some way.

“I was actually thinking of quitting soon,” you admitted. You’d been thinking about it for a while, since Sparkle had first insinuated she wanted you to, and you couldn’t think of a good reason to stay. You’d rather explore the stars with her.

“Oho, and here I thought I was destined to walk about the universe by myself.” She clutched a hand to her chest dramatically, tilting her head down and closing her eyes. “I’d resigned myself to kidnapping you away with me, but I see my plans were futile. You’d instead join me of your own volition, how wonderful!”

You laughed at her overdramatics, before pausing, her words sinking in. “Wait, were you really planning on kidnapping me?”

Sparkle giggled. “What do you think?”

Honestly, you wouldn’t put it past her. She’d stolen you away on surprise trips before, pushing you to go with her and abandon your life for a handful of days to instead spend time with her. “Well, no need for all that,” you said, your voice fond despite the subject.

It seemed she was getting bored of the conversation as she pushed away from the table, coming to stand in front of you, bowing low with a hand held out. “My love, may I have this dance?”

You grasped her hand, and she pulled you out of the chair. Despite there not being any music playing, you two danced in rhythm. You followed her lead, and the two of you waltzed across the room, she spun you around, dipping you low to the ground, pressing you close and spinning you out.

Eventually, she seemed to tire of the dancing, instead tugging you towards the stairs, up and towards your bedroom. Being with her was always a guessing game and sex was no different. Her first night home in particular was a whirlwind. She rarely felt like being gentle, instead she would take you hard, fast, rough, all manner of toys or roleplay on the table, always, always down to try something new. Sometimes you’d fuck her and sometimes she’d fuck you. But other times she wasn’t even interested in sex when she came home, going straight to sleep. Though, she didn’t sleep regularly, so instead she’d just watch you sleep. You’d made the mistake of mentioning that to someone before, forgetting that most people would find that sort of behavior creepy, not romantic.

With the fervor in which she started pulling off your clothes, you knew she was definitely interested in something tonight, the gleam in her eyes alerting you that she had some sort of scheme.

“Something you’re wanting to try?” You asked.

She hummed, her smile unwavering as she started shucking her own clothes off. “Don’t know what you mean.” She pushed you down on the bed. “Face down,” she said as she fished around in the bedside table.

You turned over without resistance. It was apparent something new was on her mind and she didn’t feel like sharing what it was. Although it made anxiety swell in your gut, it also sent a bolt of arousal through you. If you wanted some sort of stability, you wouldn’t be with her. Instead, you loved the impulsivity she bore. You trusted her implicitly, probably more than you should if you were honest.

She settled behind you, shoving your legs apart with no care to be gentle. She poured a generous amount of lube directly onto your hole, causing you to shudder. She pressed a finger into you, humming in appreciation as she added a second finger in. “You feel so tight. Neglected yourself while I was away, huh? Or are you just nervous?”

“B-both,” you stuttered, hips rocking back as a moan left you as she hit a sensitive spot in you.

She chuckled. “Don’t be nervous baby.” Sparkle moved herself up a little, straddling your thigh as she rocked down, teasing herself while she prepared you. It felt like she was everywhere. Her presence was all encompassing, she always seemed to overwhelm your senses.

She pressed another finger into you, scissoring her fingers to open you up. Her other hand trailed your spine, causing goosebumps to erupt on your skin. Gently, she traced your skin.

You yelped in pain as her nails suddenly dug into your back, raking down, leaving red lines in their wake. The pain melded with your pleasure as she abused your insides, her fingers pressing in and out of you faster and faster. Her other hand trailed back up your skin, before she tapped at your mouth. She smiled as you opened up, and she gently pressed them into your mouth, roving inside, petting your tongue and the inside of your cheek. So gentle, even as her other fingers drilled into your hole, bullying every spot within you.

You could feel heat build within you, the contrast between her ministrations turning you on further. She forced you to orgasm, not stopping even as you whined in overstimulation, spit spilling out from around her fingers in your mouth.

She didn’t stop until tears clouded your vision, and then she pulled away so suddenly it made your head spin. You gasped for air, unable to form a sentence as your ragged breathing filled the room. You could still feel her grinding into your thigh, her sticky wetness coating your flesh. She leaned forward, licking at the tear tracks on your face as she finally pulled away from your thigh, instead settling herself between you again.

“You look so cute with tears in your eyes,” Sparkle cooed. She moved, caging you in with her arms, her hands settled by your shoulders as her knees kept your legs spread. She kissed at the back of your neck, nipping at the skin here and there, and sucking bruises into your flesh as she fostered the flame of your desire. She pulled one of your hands up, lacing your fingers together.

Suddenly, you could feel something shift. She seemed to take up more space, her hand heavier where it sat atop yours. Adrenaline rushed through your veins as you felt the body of a man drape over you, the hard line of a cock digging into your back.

Your brows furrowed, your head turning enough to see what she’d done. Instead of Sparkle, the visage of one of her friends, (coworkers?), Sampo, greeted you instead. It was disconcerting hearing her ragged breathing in your ear, her normal voice replaced by one several octaves deeper. “Sparkle, what are you doing?” you asked, your previous anxiety knotting up your stomach.

Instead of answering you, she simply chuckled, the noise grating your nerves. You wiggled beneath her, trying to dislodge and get out from under her, but she simply pressed further into you, laying all of her weight on you as she pressed you into the bed. You kicked at her legs. “C’mon cut it out,” you said. Despite your protesting, you could feel your arousal spike, warmth building beneath your skin at the situation.

She kissed your ear, her lips rougher than you were used to. “Shh, it’s okay,” she said.

You could feel your heart jump to your throat as she pressed her cock to your hole, teasing for now. “Sparkle stop, let’s talk fir- Ah!” She cut you off with a rough thrust in, sheathing herself in your heat in one thrust. Tears pricked at the corner of your eyes, the rough stretch burning into you. It was a lot to take at once. You had no idea if her copy was, uh, exact to Sampo’s real size, or if she’d made it the size she wanted, but if it was an exact copy then you had to admit the guy had a huge dick. You felt like you could feel it in your throat, as she roughly pulled out before slamming back into you, punching a moan out of you at the harsh treatment.

She grinded into you, pulling whimpers out of you at the insistent movement. Hearing her moan caused guilt to spike in you, hearing her voice - Sampo’s voice - like this felt like you were intruding on him in so many ways. Guilt settled heavy in your gut, you felt guilty getting off to this, to someone who wasn’t Sparkle, even if it was actually her doing this to you, pulling your head apart in such a way. Your tears finally spilled down your cheeks, the guilt of the situation causing them to fall one after another.

Despite everything, though, arousal still burned in your veins. Which became all the more apparent as she began to fuck you at a steady pace. You felt trapped beneath her, where normally there were soft lines and curves, you had dense, hard and heavy muscle caging you in, pressed against you as she practically smothered you beneath her, forcing you to just take what she was giving you, nowhere to run.

Her cock scraped you raw, physically and emotionally draining as she pistoned into you, directly targeting your sweet spots. It didn’t take long to bring you close to cumming, but you tried to hold yourself back, not wanting to cum, not like this, not when she wasn’t herself.

The hand that held yours pinned to the bed squeezed your fingers, and her other hand trailed to your neck, pinning your head to the bed as you felt her breath caress your ear as she spoke, “I can feel you clenching on my cock,” she purred, punctuating the statement with a particularly hard thrust, forcing a whine from your throat. “Go on, cum. Cum to someone who isn’t me.”

You choked on a moan, fresh tears spilling down your cheeks as you snapped, cumming and clenching down onto her cock. You felt gross afterwards, and you knew your face was a mess from the crying.

Sparkle didn’t stop though, continuing to fuck you through your high and through your regret and through your guilt and shameful arousal. She chuckled, the sound deep, the vibration rocking your chest. “So cute,” she said, staring at your fucked out face and tear tracks. “Gonna make me cum at this rate.” Her pace picked up as she fucked you into the bed, not letting you move even as you shuddered through overstimulation.

She moaned into your ear, the sound going straight to your core. You could feel her cock twitch within you, and as she finally came, her cum spilling deep into you, she bit down on your shoulder, teeth sunk deep into your flesh. You whined as she pulled her teeth out, instead licking at the wound before biting into another spot.

You thought after she came she’d stop fucking into you, but as she fucked her cum deeper into you, her cock still rock hard, you could tell she had no intentions of stopping yet. Your hand grasped at the sheets, trying to ground yourself as she bullied your insides until you saw stars.

“You like getting fucked like this?” Sparkle asked. “Like you’re just a stupid toy for me?” You whimpered, your cheeks heating up at her words.

The pleasure seemed to be never-ending, until she completely withdrew from you. For a second you thought maybe she’d grown tired of this, that she'd given you mercy, but then she half forced you into flipping over onto your back.

It was so much worse being able to see her like this, Sampo’s sleazy smile taunting you as she watched you like a hawk. Being able to see the flush on his cheeks, his disheveled hair, finally seeing the flushed cock between his legs. “It’s rude to stare.” Sparkle said, nudging herself between your legs, grasping her cock and guiding it to your hole again, slowly pressing into you as you hissed in pain from overstimulation.

Strong hands grasped beneath your knees, pushing your thighs up, up, up, until your muscles screamed at the strain and they laid flat to your chest. Your face contorted in pain, the position tweaking your muscles, but that only caused Sparkle to let out a throaty laugh.

“I just want to eat you alive,” she said. She pressed further into you and your breath left you all at once as her cock forced itself further into you, the new position allowing her to hit deeper into you, causing your hands to fly to her back to hold onto something. Sampo was way broader than Sparkle, bulky in a way your girlfriend definitely wasn’t. Hard back muscles flexed beneath your fingertips as you dug your nails into her back.

She leaned forward, trying to kiss you, but you tilted away, not wanting to kiss her like this. Her smile slid away, a frown tugging at her mouth. “Don’t be a brat,” she said, tugging your chin until you faced her again and she could press your lips to hers.

It felt rougher than usual, her lips slightly chapped. She snapped her hips, the sudden movement causing you to moan in surprise and she took the opportunity to shove her tongue into your mouth.

She fucked into you once more, her cock bullying you open hard and fast as she pressed into you. The kiss wasn’t any gentler. It was barely kissing at this point, instead she was practically tongue fucking your mouth. She was overwhelming you, wholly and utterly. Normally, you loved being overwhelmed by her, but guilt still pressed into you, roiling in your gut, blending and braiding into your arousal until it was impossible to separate them.

Your third orgasm came out of nowhere, hitting you hard as you clenched down onto her, milking her cock as you moaned around her tongue. Your nails raked down her back, causing her to whine at the sting. Your eyes flew open, locking with hers as she was already watching you, her eyes half lidded as she watched you as a predator stalks its prey.

You couldn’t stop your noises, whining and whimpering as overstimulation held you firmly in its grasp. Sparkle shoved her cock into you, upping the ante as she pulled her mouth away, fully bracing herself before snapping into you even faster, harder than before. You yelped, sobs leaving your throat as it turned truly painful.

Her cheeks were red, her gaze piercing as she watched you cry, a smile creeping onto her face as she shuddered. That expression was so delightful. Her nails dug into your thighs, as she thrust into you. Her hips stuttered as she came again, but she didn’t stop yet, fucking her cum deep into you until she was satisfied.

Finally, she pulled out of you, gently lowering your legs back onto the bed as she shifted, laying on to her side as she gathered your broken form into her arms. You felt a bit hollow, your hole empty as you felt cum spill out. Her illusion finally fell away as she pressed close to you, her arm wrapped around your waist.

She pressed apologetic kisses into your shoulder and neck. “Too rough?”

“No. Just caught me really off guard shifting like that,” you admitted.

You could feel her smirk on your skin. “But it was good.”

“Felt good, just hurt a bit because it was you but not.” You could feel her smile drop, as she hummed at your confession.

Sparkle’s voice was low as she spoke, “Sometimes I forget you really love me. Sorry.”

You grabbed her hand, lacing your fingers together. “Love you,” you murmured. You were exhausted after all of that.

She hummed in appreciation but Sparkle didn’t say anything. Though, the way she squeezed you tighter to her spoke volumes.

You started to drift to sleep but the only thing you could think was that although you were excited to start traveling with Sparkle, you really hoped she wouldn’t take you to see Sampo any time soon. It’d be really hard to look him in the eyes.

Chapter 46: Normalcy

This chapter is some filler, some jokes, and friendship. There are sex jokes-

AN: I lied about posting the next chapter, I forgot so two are going out today.

Master List | Prev | Next

If they were plotting something, you didn’t know. They hadn’t told you of any plans, even Wonwoo, and for some reason it was making you a little nervous.

Tessa, though she had to cancel your appointment on Tuesday and you couldn’t see her until Thursday, was proud of you! All the progress you made was great, but she did think the little bit of humor was probably uncalled for since you were talking about a very serious incident. C’est la vie. Can’t change that.

Though you went over a lot about what happened when telling the guys, she did help you draft an email to send to your work regarding your resignation. After the session, you had a plan to ask Seokmin to read it over since he was home.

“Real talk.” You clicked your tongue and Tessa snorted a laugh.

“I thought we were, but alright, go on.”

You narrowed your eyes in thought. “How do you explain that you aren’t fragile and that things don’t need to be hidden from you?”

“There are a few ways to do this, but you want the most to-the-point way to do it?”

“Pretty much. I told them on Monday but they haven’t said anything. If they are plotting, I’d like to know to prepare myself for the worst.”

“Simple, just ask if they are plotting anything. Tell them you want to be involved and you aren't going to break because of their answers.” Tessa shrugged on camera. “ You’ve progressed quickly, but you’ve also been good with your limits. You are self aware of what you want or need so I’m not worried too much about you. That being said, I hope you know that just because you’ve come so far rather quickly, doesn’t mean you are fully better. You haven’t fully integrated back into life.”

“Oh trust me, I know. But I’m going to have someone get my car from my place so I can go out more. Not the city by myself, but maybe the town here and the stores like that.”

“If you struggle with any of that, we can talk more next session.”

You hummed, glancing at the time. That email did take a while but that’s okay. “I’ll see you next week? Tuesday?”

“Hopefully nothing emergent comes up again. Sorry again about that.”

“Eh, I won’t hold it against you.”

“Thanks.” She said sarcastically, smiling as she bid you a farewell.

Sprinting up the stairs from Pandora, laptop in hand, you made it to Seokmin’s door, knowing loudly until you heard him. Pushing open the door, you took note of Seokmin sitting on his bed, sorting his overflowing basket of laundry.

He fixed his thick framed glasses, raising a brow. “ ‘Sup?”

“Can you read over my resignation. I want to send it out so Sona can pick up anything I left in my office.”

Seokmin motioned you over, giving grabby hands for your laptop and you shuffled over to join him on the bed.

He took your computer, letting you enter your password before starting his review. With nothing to do, you started to match his socks together and fold some of his pants. Beside you, he fixed a few things in your email before passing the device back, nodding.

“It’s fine, I’m guessing you’ve already asked Sona to pick you stuff up? I should have done it while I was there…”

“Ehh, it’s fine. She already agreed to go so I also asked her to get my car once she gets back from the office.” You hummed, helping him finish off his pile of clothes. “So…”

“Do not-” Seokmin glared halfheartedly.

“Any big bad evil plans against Monsta X?”

“Mouse.”

“Minnie.”

He pushed his glasses up to the top of his head and rubbed his eyes tiredly. “I haven’t heard anything. Cheol’s been really quiet, distant, and a little cagey. Kinda hard to talk to him. Joshua and Jeonghan can’t even get through to him either. Maybe blaming himself for it, you know how he gets.”

You nodded along, a bit guilty since you did drop a fucking bomb of information on them – him – quickly. “So, work my magic I guess?”

Seokmin cringed. “What fucking magic? He likes you. You don’t even have to do anything aside from batting your eyelashes and he is done for.”

“Damn…You're right though.” The two of you shared a laugh. “I’ll try to get something out of him.”

“Good luck.” Seokmin clicked his tongue as you sent the email, standing to bring some of his clothes to the closet.

“Don’t need luck. I already have him wrapped around my finger apparently.”

“You guys are gross, all four of you in your not-orgy orgy.”

You paused, slapping a hand over your mouth to stop yourself from laughing out loud. You let out a snort and Seokmin looked over, shaking his head.

“Do not say anything stupid, please .”

“Joshua wouldn’t be into the orgy, he’d sulk until he had me to himself again. Jeonghan would share-”

Seokmin screamed , throwing some of the bundled up socks at you. “I don’t want to know this! Keep your sex-capades to yourself! You are like my sister and they are my brothers!!”

“A good Eiffel tower-”

“OUT!” Seokmin shrieked, running further into his closet. “Or shut up!”

You cackled, falling onto his pillows, trying to catch your breath. “You started it!”

“And I’m ending it before I end myself!”

You didn’t get to see Seungcheol until Friday evening when he came home.

Thursday, you only got to have dinner with Seokmin, Jun, Chan, Soonyoung, and Vernon, but the group of you made the most of it.

Junk food, watching bad movies, and enjoying the company of the night. Jun talked way more than you ever heard before, feeding off the chaos of Soonyoung and Chan, even Seokmin. You and Vernon sent videos of them arguing over dumb topics to the newly made group chat, the fan favorite video being them almost killing each other over whether Pokemon or Digimon was better. You had to deescalate that when Soonyoung got too heated.

You had learned that Jeonghan, Joshua, Mingyu, Seungkwan and Seokmin would be out of town until Sunday evening at the same time as sending the videos. Something about money and a late shipment payment. Seokmin rushed to change and threw a bag together, complaining loudly that he wished he was told way earlier.

After he hurried out of the house, Vernon called out his craving for chocolate chip cookies but it was late and the lot of you were too lazy to go out and get some. You got up to scour the kitchen for all the necessary ingredients, placing item after item on the counter until the list was fulfilled.

It was surprisingly easy to rope Jun into helping you. Chan and Soonyoung tried to back out but you put them on portioning duty, having them place the balled up dough on the trays to bake. Vernon…he was high but was up to sitting (in the way) on the floor in front of the oven to make sure the cookies didn’t burn. All of them reminded you of cats with the exception of Chan, who was still an otter in your eyes.

The group of you feasted on cookies with you saving plenty for those unable to indulge at that moment. You had to hide them from Jun and Vernon, the container ending up in Jihoon’s car since you found his keys.

Friday, Seungcheol came home late, missing dinner and shutting himself in his room. Minghao had commented that it wasn’t a good day, nothing bad happened but his mood was down since he walked through the warehouse doors. Jihoon made a comment that Cheol was up his ass about security and keeping an eye out for any insiders. Wonwoo…He ended up staying in the city for some things.

You had given him just over an hour of being home before knocking on his door. In your other hand, you held a plate of leftovers, heated up so he could hopefully eat it quickly before it cooled once more. When there was no answer, you knocked a second time, flinching back when the door was roughly pulled over.

“Can you leave me alone- Mouse.” Cheol froze, looking like a deer in headlights as he took you in. His hair was tousled, long changed from his suit for a pair of sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt.

Righting yourself, you handed the food over to him. “You need to eat.”

“I’m not hungry.” He cleared his throat, shaking his head.

“Hm.” You raised a brow. “Would you actually like to fight me on this one?”

His lip twitched and his gaze fell away from you. “I’d like to not fight at all.” A pout was forming on his lips.

“Great!” You shouldered past him, hearing a small grunt in response.

Placing yourself on the edge of his bed, you waited for him to close the door and stand before you, an unamused look in his eyes. You offered him the plate once more, which he took, and sat down with a huff beside you. In majority silence, Seungcheol ate, grumbling to himself childishly, the only things you were able to make out was a jumbled comment of thank you and him actually being hungry. When finished, Seungcheol placed the plate on his nightstand and sighed, falling back onto his bed.

“Sorry about how I answered the door.”

Clicking your tongue, you turned to face him, looking down at his tired expression. “Forget that, do you want to talk about what’s got your panties in a twist?”

Seungcheol groaned, frowning at the ceiling as it offended him. The frown quickly shifted back to that pout you knew well before his expression dropped overall.

“I’m getting in my head.”

“Oh I know.” You shifted closer, tugging part of a blanket over your lap. “I have a good feeling you are blaming yourself for what happened when it wasn’t your fault.”

“But it was my fault!” The loud exclamation had you flinching back and he quickly apologized, sitting up to face you. “If this years old grudge between them and me didn’t exist, they wouldn’t have watched, stalked, and taken you from me- us. They wouldn’t have hurt you. How can’t I blame myself?”

You recalled Jeonghan’s explanation of the issues that started between MX, mainly Kihyun and Shownu, and the eldest of SVT. How bad decisions and low morals led to a fucked up situation.

“I’ve learned in my time here that things don’t always go how we want.” You snickered but Cheol furrowed his brows at your words. “Hannie- He told me a little about SVT's beginning, your beginnings. The drug running to help keep you afloat, Pledis, how Kihyun went insane basically. Monsta X has held resentment, or obsession, over all of you for so long that adding me into the mix wouldn’t have done anything if I didn’t get more involved with Jeonghan, Joshua…And you.”

You reached out and took one of his hands into both of yours, gently running your fingers over his skin. “They were watching you way before I came into the picture, Cheol. They used me as a pawn in their game. I could probably place a bet that they planned something before me but I was the easy target. They hurt Mingyu on purpose too, to hurt everyone. Monsta X are vindictive people with sick ideals and fixations. They won’t stop until they get what they want. Blaming yourself for stepping away from their shit and wanting something different will never stop them. Blaming yourself for them hurting me won’t stop them. And blaming yourself won’t stop them from hurting us again.”

There was a hard gaze in his eyes, focusing on anything but you. His jaw was tense and the vein in his neck bulged slightly. Seungcheol’s hand tightened around your own and you weren’t uncomfortable.

Like a switch flipped, his shoulders dropped along with his head and he let your hands go. Whether he meant to or not, he half dove into you, arms wrapping snuggly around your waist with his face buried into the blanket in your lap.

“Oh-” You held your arms up, staring down at his unexpected display. “Okay-”

He radiated warmth, giving a gentle squeeze around your waist as he let out a tense breath. Then suddenly he was scrambling back, as if remembering your current issues with touch. An apology spilled from his lips, but he looked upset and your heart fluttered.

“It’s okay. It was…nice actually. You’re also really warm which is great since it’s freezing out.”

He lit up when you laughed, bright eyes watching you move from your spot to sit better under the covers.

“Uh-” He bit his lip for a moment. “Can I-”

“If you promise not to squish me, yeah.”

You figured laying down was the best course of action, getting comfortable and opening your arms to him. Once more he dove into you, securing a tight hold on your middle with his head buried low on your chest to avoid the brand from how he eyed just under your neck and shimmied down. You struggled to get the blanket to cover you both but Cheol was content and so were you.

When he finished getting comfortable, you carded your fingers through his unruly, curly hair, scratching gently at his scalp.

“Joshua is right, this is the best.” He was barely heard properly with him talking into your abdomen.

“Oh, so you guys talk about me behind my back now?”

He turned his head, eyes closed. “They complain that they miss you but I’m soaking up the benefits for now.”

Chuckling, you shook your head. “Don’t rub it in. Jeonghan will scheme and Joshua will refuse to let you near me.”

“They are gone for two days, they can suck my dick.”

You could feel the deep rumble of his laughter against your body, one of his hands running up your back.

There was pleasant silence for a long stretch of time. You continued to mindlessly play with his – surprisingly – soft hair, unable to tell if he was asleep or not.

“Mouse?” You hummed when he addressed you, glancing down at him. “I’m going to make them pay for hurting my family.”

There it was.

“I expect nothing less. Kinda thought you already had a plan.”

“I’ve been thinking of a plan. A few plans. I want to bring them down for good.” He lifted his head to rest his chin on your stomach. “I want it to stop.”

Those big puppy eyes were hard to not stare into. There was a need for approval in his gaze.

“I’ll support you anyway I can, but I want a promise that you won’t hide anything from me. Full transparency. I’m getting a little tired not being in on stuff if I’m probably gonna be working with you guys more.”

“Promise.” Seungcheol propped himself up on his elbows. “I promise and I’ll find you something to do with us. Maybe with Wonwoo or – Unless you want to pick-”

You shushed him and he settled, shifting about to get cozy again.

“Maybe I can job fair this shit until I find what I like.”

“Just please don’t work under Han or Shua. They won’t work.”

“And you?”

“Definitely not me!”

To say Jeonghan and Joshua were in a very particular mood when they got home was an understatement. They weren’t mad – no, far from it, but apparently Jihoon told Vernon, who, of course, told Seungkwan, who told Seokmin, who finally told your boyfriends that you and Seungcheol got a little closer while they were gone.

Joshua, as you expected, huffed and puffed loudly, whining that they were only gone for two days. He, with plenty of your consent, stole you away for a few peaceful hours, soaking up your presence. From the moment you both laid down, his hands were gently holding you close, tracing small, uncoordinated patterns on your hips and back. On and off he spoke nonsense, whatever came to mind, work, life, some article he read online, occasionally falling asleep here and there after the exhausting few days, weeks . As he slept, you could feel a lot of the tension leaving his body, probably all the worry about you.

When Jeonghan got his hands on you after dinner, there was no escape for the rest of the night. He yapped from the time he went to unpacked his bag, to when he pulled you to sit in the bathroom while he showered, and he spoke even louder as you brushed and dried his hair. He didn’t stop until he poked you into telling him what happened with Seungcheol with the widest smirk on his lips the entire time. He cooed and snickered through your little explanation, running his hands gently through your hair. Though he didn’t like not having you close, he did agree with the leader’s comment of not working with any of the three of them, knowing nothing would get done when they had such a ‘gorgeous distraction’.

Seungcheol did end up having a lot of fun gloating at first but mostly spared you from the ‘torment’.

Your supervisor had replied to your resignation email with more compassion than anticipated. He was understanding, wishing you luck with your future endeavors, and let you know someone could get any left over things. Sona was quickly to reply to your text message of when she could go to your job to get anything you left behind. When asked if she could grab your car along the way to bring it to you, she was happy to, stating she was glad to get out of the city for a bit.

Chan had started to hover as well since Thursday evening. You noticed it rather quickly when branching off from Seungcheol. He looked like he wanted to say something but always backed out at the last minute. You cornered him after he came home Tuesday afternoon, asking him to go to the food store with you. He hesitated but you were already throwing his jacket at him and grabbing you keys.

As you strolled casually through the aisle, grabbing things necessary to sustain the house of fourteen with Chan following behind, adding things to the car here and there. The silence was okay at first, it wasn’t a bother, but the longer it stretched on with each passing row of shelves, you had enough of it.

“Alright, out with it, kid.” You stopped the cart and placed your hands on your hips, narrowing your gaze at him. “What’s wrong?”

He froze, stammering out incoherently until his shoulders dropped in defeat and he pursed his lips. “Can I…get the number of your therapist?”

“My therapist? Of course you can, is this why you’ve been hovering?”

“I wasn’t hovering-” He paused, “Okay, maybe I was a little, but yeah, mostly. Between my own stuff and worrying about you, I’d like to give it a shot.”

Instantly you pulled your phone out of your pocket and quickly sent over the number to him via text. “Tell them I gave you the number when you call.”

“Thanks, Mo.” He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck, staring down at his feet. “Any advice?”

You grabbed his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze which surprised him. “Just be honest. She knows the life we live in. She is amazing. Don’t be afraid to open up to her.”

He nodded along to your words before he spoke. “Can we pick up more ice cream?”

Your eyes ran over his face for a moment, seeing the seriousness in his eyes, only to laugh gently. “Yeah, but we need to finish grabbing everything else first so it doesn’t melt before we leave, got it?”

From then on, Chan was chatty and happier, a bounce to his step as he helped finish off the grocery list. He was far too happy grabbing too many snacks but you did nothing to stop him. You didn’t have the heart to stop him. He got more ice cream than expected once you reached the freezer section, only refuting your disagreement with ‘Someone will eat it’ , which you couldn’t deny.

By the time you were at the check out, the shopping cart was packed to the brim and then some, a small mountain in the middle, items precariously stacked, at risk of toppling down the sides. You were lucky you decided to take (nicely stole) Minghao’s SUV after leaving a note (even if he wasn’t home) last minute. Not all of the food bags would have fit in your car…not even close.

The line was long and you had a lot so you waited patiently, people watching quietly to pass the time. It was quiet, aside from the pauses for Chan to laugh and show you things on his phone as he scrolled aimlessly. He was showing you a video when a call came in, a rather curious name of ‘The Ass Man’ that had you confused.

“Who-” You started but he swiped the screen to answer it, smirking.

“Hey Woo, what’s up?”

On the other end of the phone, Wooyoung was yelling but nothing was able to be made out. Chan made a face somewhere between annoyed and entertained, letting the other man yell about whatever bothered him. It went on for a while, slowly moving forward in line as he went on a tangent that seemed never ending. Chan made a few comments here and there but it was nothing substantial to stop the other man.

“Me? I’m at the store with Mo right now.”

You heard a loud exclamation ‘What?!’ followed by Chan pulling the phone away from his ear to spare his hearing. The line went dead and seconds later your phone was vibrating in your pocket.

“Oh my god.” You dug into your pocket to get your phone, rolling your eyes on Wooyoung’s contact staring back at you. “Hello?”

“Girly, you finally answer now?! I’ve been calling on and off for days!” Wooyoung scoffed, chatter heard in the background from his end.

“Ay, listen, I’m getting there, be happy I answered now. What’s up?”

He gasped, groaning loudly, childishly. “What's up? What's up?! Mouse! You can’t just ask that after everything! How are you?! Are you okay?! Are you eating?!”

“Woo, I’m okay, promise. Honestly I planned to go through the mass of messages and calls soon to get back to people but you caught me first.” Chan hip checked you to take control of the cart, moving along.

“Well, we all need to get together! I need to see for myself how my girl is doing. Everyone has been worried!”

“First, not your girl, don’t let my boyfriends hear that.” You pinched the bridge of your nose, letting out a heavy sigh. “Second, you won’t let me say no, will you?”

“You know me so well. I’m making up plans for this weekend sometime! Be prepared. Love you bye!”

And Wooyoung hung up on you instantly.

Chan was snickered at your side, starting to load items onto the checkout conveyor. Your phone vibrated in rapid succession, giving your companion a glare.

“I’m blaming you for telling him you were with me.”

“Whatever helps you sleep at night.”

Together, you managed to check out and pile everything into the car with haste, wanting to escape to the warmth of the house. The sun was set before arriving back and the helpful hands of Jihoon and Jun were waiting in the garage thanks to Chan calling them. They helped with ease, making mindless conversation as everything was put away. With you buying all the food, dinner was covered by the skillful hands of Jun, having prepped a lovely noodle dish for those who’d be home and leftover to spare.

You fell onto the couch, starting your scroll through your texts with time before dinner.

Your eye caught on the solo messages from Seungcheol, a thread of texts not typically looked through since intersections were mainly over phone calls.

[Lion Cub – Jan 1 12:01AM] I know you won’t probably see this for a while but I just wanted to tell you Happy New Year. I miss you. I thought this was a good way to keep you updated on things. I hope we find you soon. No one has been sleeping or eating much and it’s only been over 2 days. I’m sorry we couldn’t prevent this. [Lion Cub – Jan 1 7:56PM] We finally found you. You are horribly banged up but you are in the great hands of Jihoon, Seonghwa, and Yeosang. You looked so fragile and it hurt more than seeing everyone else upset. [Lion Cub – Jan 1 9:42 PM] Jeonghan, Joshua, and I just got back to the penthouse after seeing you. You looked so peaceful laying there. They don’t know when you are going to wake up, but I’m holding out hope. I’ll do everything in my power to make this right, promise. [Lion Cub – Jan 2 11:54PM] I tried to sneak into the clinic to see you but I got caught by Seonghwa checking on your IV bag. He tried to give me a lecture but it definitely fell on deaf ears. He said you were stable but there weren't any signs yet that you were waking up. Your hand was so cold when I held it. It felt so small in my hands but it felt perfect in mine. I don’t know how to explain it. [Lion Cub – Jan 3 7:23AM] I had a dream last night. You and I were in a cabin in the woods, watching the wood burn in the fireplace while wrapped up in a blanket. We had cups of your hot chocolate to help keep us warm. You were saying something to me but I don’t remember what it was. You looked so pretty in that flickering light, I do remember that I couldn’t stop staring. You had this big smile on your face, like when I took you out on that date and asked if we could also go for ice cream. I can’t begin to express how you looked, ethereal is a good word. It feels so long ago that it happened. Like a million years. And it also feels like we’ve lost so much time that I can’t make up for it. There are so many things I want to tell you, things I can’t express over text. Things that would be better said face to face. Please wake up soon, Mouse. I can’t think I or anyone else can handle another day of you not being here in our lives. [Lion Cub – Jan 4 6:57PM] Not gonna lie, I miss your cooking a lot. Mingyu has been desperately trying to get your pot pie right but whatever you do to it just hits different. Everyone has been getting take out so we have been surviving on that, which isn’t ideal but as long as they are eating, right? Jeonghan and Joshua have been overworking but visiting you a lot so I can’t really sit alone and just talk with you like you are there. That is the main reason I started to text you, to feel close even if you were far. [Lion Cub – Jan 5 4:31PM] I’ve been working all day but I’m really distracted. I have this tightness in my chest whenever I think about you and I’m just…out of it. Maybe it’s jealousy. No, it’s definitely some jealousy that Han and Josh are so close to you. They have been visiting you whenever they have time, day or night, and I wish I could do the time, but I need to keep the group in line, keep the ship running would be a better way to put it. When you wake up, I plan to tell you what I really want to talk to you about. So please wait for that, okay?

There were no messages since you woke up, leaving you grasping at metaphoric straws of what he wanted to say. You went back and forth on messaging him, asking what he wanted to say, but you decided against it for the time being, knowing it was best to talk to him in person. You…might have had an idea of what he wanted to talk about…

In the end, you pulled up the 99 line group chat, scrolling as far back as you could to messages right before Christmas, reading through the holiday well wishes and sharing jokes and memes. When you got to the messages just after you were taken, your heart hurt.

They were quick sharing locations, letting each team know where they had searched and where they didn’t with no luck in any place. Those texts morphed into asking Chan, Yeosang, and Yunho for updates on your condition, even their master plan to go in and see you the day you woke up. They were sad, the messages not having the usual bright enthusiasm they had, but it was understandable. Many of the same check-in messages followed with the intermittent input of a meme or a normal conversation. Wooyoung – or well, you thought it was Wooyoung with the group chat name of Attack Cell , was desperately trying to make plans for everyone, or at least with someone, last minute the further down you got.

And you definitely thought him into existence.

[Pass The Brain Cell] {Attack Cell 6:29PM} Great news I spoke to Mo Saturday I’m thinking like 9? Or earlier idc {Bitch Thots 6:31PM} You paying tf? {No Thots 6:32PM} Weren’t we supposed to have a meeting, Woo? {Attack Cell 6:33PM} Do u think if Mo cries on the phone with HJ again he will let us off

You called out for Chan who waddled down the hall, seeing him looking down at his phone with a grin.

“I mean, it did work last time.” He took a seat beside you, shrugging. “I think it will work again. We could always try it!”

“Worse than a child.”

[To Pass The Brain Cell 6:36PM] How about we ask everyone else if they are free instead of just giving times? Also, who is who?? {Attack Cell 6:38PM} Ur The Brain Cell (unanimous vote) Yeosang is No Thots and Gahyeon is Bitch Thots Mingi is Never The Brain Cell San is Wide Cell, Changbin is Meat Cell, and Yunho is Spider Cell Chan is Maraca head Yeonjun is Empty Hamster Wheel {Maraca Head 6:39PM} They said my head is full of beans and I made sound when I shake my head

“Ah!” You gasped, turning to Chan. “That’s mean.”

“Okay, maybe a little,” Chan laughed, leaning into your side, head falling onto your shoulder. “But Yeonjun’s is funnier.”

“I can agree to that.”

[To Pass The Brain Cell 6:42PM] What’s everyone’s availability? {Attack Cell 6:43PM} Checking ATZ rn {Bitch Thots 6:45PM} I’m free all weekend, Yubin owes me a favor so I’m taking advantage of it. {Maraca Head 6:45PM} Mouse and I should be good, just need to get her THREE boyfriends to back off. {Bitch Thots 6:45PM} THREE? Girl… {Meat Cell 6:46PM} Ohhhh tea. I’m open Frinight + Sun {Empty Hamster Wheel 6:46PM} Friday i’m good {Wide Cell 6:47PM} WY got a call but we all can do Fri- There was supposed to be a thing but the buyer backed out.

“Friday good?” Chan asked, peering curiously at you.

You chuckled under your breath, sending him a look that had him joining in. “What else do I have to do? Clean and cook like a housewife more?”

“Who is cooking and cleaning?” Jihoon shuffled in, phone in his face.

“Me, with all the shit you guys leave around and how much you fucking eat.”

Jihoon stopped in his tracks, pursing his lips but couldn’t stop the nod. “I will admit to those. And I appreciate everything you do around here.”

You laughed, watching him crash out on the couch not far from you, typing something on his phone. He made a face and all your phones within the room chimed.

[Squad] {Lion Cub 6:51PM} Saturday 9PM, warehouse meeting. No bailouts. Prep anything necessary to attend, no exceptions. [Pass the Brain Cell] {Attack Cell 6:52PM} Saturday is a bust, Friday good for everyone? {Bitch Thots 6:52PM} Chan, SVT meeting??? Hello???

“Oh…This is going to be the MX meeting, isn’t it?” Your eyes fell on Jihoon, thinking he knew something, but he only shrugged.

“Probably, but this is the first I’m hearing about it. Chances are it was decided moments before the text.”

“Welp, ATZ and DC are involved, probably SKZ and TXT so it’s going to be a full house on Saturday.” You smirked then raised a brow at Chan. “Do you think I can make enough cookies by Saturday to feed everyone some? My ‘ sorry they kidnapped me’ type of thing?”

“You are horrible, Mo.” Chan shook his head but nodded not long after. “But if you start tomorrow, yeah probably.”

Jun’s gasp was heard from the kitchen. “If you make cookies, can I help again? I never get to bake enough.”

“Of course you can, I’ll need all the hands I can get.”

You had to return to the food store a second time within two days to basically buy out all the ingredients to make the cookies you wanted to share. Jun accompanied you this time around, no plans with no jobs on the schedule from Cheol, just wanted to get out of the house. Most needed to return to the city to make arrangements for Saturday night, mainly for the clubs and any shipments they needed to get out. Jihoon bitched the most that he had to call someone in to fill in for him, grumbling that he had to call someone in on their day off for it, knowing the weekends are the busiest for his clubs.

Jeonghan had texted your group chat with Joshua that they would be home later, with the latter man being a little later due to something with Dreamcatcher’s leader that he was ‘ too lazy to explain’. You told him not to worry, you’d be having a busy day with Jun and Minghao, seeing as one wanted to help from the beginning and the other not having a single thing to do.

99 line had confirmed plans for Friday night, just dinner and maybe some drinking if everyone felt up for it. Changbin, Wooyoung, and Mingi were most excited, happy to be able to see their friends again, the whole group, in a few weeks. Yunho, San, and Yeosang were happy to have a ‘ normal people night’, the three having been busy with travel and they’d finally be in town for longer than a week to relax at home, even just a little bit. There was an overall agreement that they were happy to have you get out of the house. The agreed upon meet up would be closer to the house, further from the city for your comfortability, at a nice restaurant Gahyeon found, reservations for six-thirty sharp. Whoever was late, paid for the evening. You were not going to be late at any means necessary.

“If we are baking this much, don’t expect me to cook.” You had the kitchen island absolutely covered in bowls, pans, ingredients, and more. “What are we ordering??”

Jun snickered, stating the portioning of cookies for the first few pans. “Any ideas, Hao?”

Minghao looked up from one of the recipes you wrote down, eyes wide from not paying attention to the conversation around him. “Huh?”

“Food, no want cook, ideas?”

He blinked, nodding along before his eyes fell back into the papers before him. “I’m open for anything. That new hot pot place opened a town over, we can always get out of the house.”

You mixed the dough in front of you, frowning. “That requires outside pants…”

Looking down at your current attire and the other two, flour and probably other ingredients dusted your clothes, and you all barely looked put together. Jun was in a ratty shirt with holes and rips, paired with equally ratty flannel pajama pants. You, for once, were in your own clothes, but you needed to change if you were going out anywhere. Hao was similar to Jun but he wasn’t dressed for the cold with a t-shirt-turned-muscle shirt and old basketball shorts.

Minghao’s head raised once more, starting to measure the flour, sugar, and such out into a new bowl for more cookies. “Then we…” He clicked his tongue. “No, fuck you, we need to get you out of the house.”

“Boo, you whore.” You scoffed, scrunching your nose up. “Fine, I’ll be a real human.”

Jun chuckled happily, sliding the filled pans into the over. “It’s okay, Mo, we only learned how to be real humans some years ago. Before that it was, like, Agent 47 type of thing. Well – minus the gene augmentation, but trained assassin, I think…”

“He has never seen or played the movies-slash-games, for context.”

“Eh, they are okay. Games were better in my opinion.”

“I’ll take your word for it. Oh! And we aren’t bald so-” Jun hummed, starting the next pans.

“He knows two things about the Hitman franchise.”

“Anyways – I’ve learned that you don’t need to dress up all the time, might just throw on a sweatshirt and change pants.”

“Okay, but you both get out of the house more than I do. I wanted to throw on some of my nice jeans and not Han’s or Shua’s shirts.”

“Too much effort for warm food.” Hao countered, shaking his head. “Boring and lazy. That is what I am when I can.”

“Says the person with the richest closet in the room.” Jun comments.

“That’s okay. Cheol’s watch collection could pay for everything for the rest of our lives if needed.” You handed Jun another finished bowl of dough. “He has one worth over forty-five thousand in there.”

“Oh we know, he was like a kid in a candy shop when it came in.”

“Ehhhhh, treat yourself sometimes.”

“Says the woman with, now, an unlimited bank card that still shops on discounts.”

You gasped at Minghao, picking up a pinch of flour and throwing it at him. “And?! It’s what I know! What I'm used to!”

He laughed, patting off his shirt but the effort was futile. “Nothing, nothing! Just saying you should treat yourself too!”

“I’ll get there eventually!” Giving him a childish huff, you tossed flour at him once more before going back to the task at hand. “Chop chop boys, we gotta bake all my apology cookies!”

The three of you worked quietly on the cookies, only pausing for a ‘taste test’. You heated up some leftovers in the mess for lunch, sharing stories between the job.

Minghao and Jun opened up some more regarding their background. They talked vaguely of the abuse they faced during baking of loving sweet treats since they couldn’t have any in the past. They touched on some of the scare tactics the ‘caretakers’ used to get them in line, the deprivation they experienced. Jun seemed more guarded about it all, having you believe he experienced worse, but you didn’t pry, simply lending an ear as he rambled here and there. Minghao told you more about Xiaoyu, how the times she cooked for them sparked Jun’s interest in the task.

Jun got flustered at the attention on him. He sputtered when you praised his cooking from the previous night, with him saying it was nothing and he enjoyed cooking. He resigned to continuing portioning the cookies between bake times, helping you place the cooled products into the cheap plastic containers you bought.

The flow was cranking out so many cookies you knew you’d have to get more the following day…

You did send a picture to the Squad and Pass the Brain Cell chats, letting them see the treats you were creating. That got some a little too excited, especially 99 line after your Christmas brownies.

Baking went on for hours, running out of containers hours prior, only to haphazardly stack them on plates and dishes until more storage was retrieved for them. Dinner with the two was chill, stomach rumbling until the food was placed in front of you. It was nice, conversation flowing and Jun showing you plenty of ways to elevate your hot pot soup base. The evening ended with finding Soonyoung trying to steal a few cookies before he turned in for the night, listening to him whine that they looked so delicious.

You were in the process of taking the bandages off your chest and changing them for the sticky, plastic covering to shower when the door opened. Jeonghan trudged in tiredly, eyes half open as he closed the door behind him, not noticing you as he grumbled your name. You were half naked, standing in your jeans and a bra, brand uncovered, and unsure of what to do…so you froze.

With your silence, Jeonghan looked about until he spotted you in the bathroom, taking you in in your current state. He didn’t move at first, only staring from the distance with a sad, wide eyed look in his eyes. You couldn’t tell if you should close the door, something told you you shouldn’t, and he took a step towards you.

“Hi.” The word left his lips in a whisper, wishing to not scare you, moving slowly. “Can I come closer?”

Gulping down the slip in your mouth, you nodded, dropping your hands at your sides. You were exposed, felt exposed, and Jeonghan approached only to stop at the doorway. You felt self-conscious.

The bruising was healed, no longer a multicolored mess of injuries. The electrical burns at your sides were slightly discolored, but the brand was still stark, gross, gooey. It wasn’t pretty, you were worried he was going to be grossed out. So far, from context you managed to piece together while you were in the mini-coma, only Jihoon, Wonwoo, Soonyoung, Yeosang, Yunho, and Seonghwa had seen it, helped take care of you and it while you were down.

Jeonghan would be the first to see this outside of your designated medical team and his reaction could make or break this.

His eyes ran over your slowly, as if he was taking you in for the first time, cautiously. He held out his hands, palms up and open for you to place yours in, meeting your gaze with the softest look. When your hands were in his, he gave them a gentle squeeze, leaning forward to press his forehead against yours.

“Does it hurt at all?”

Sighing through your nose, you shrugged. “Initially, yeah, a lot. Sometimes now, the skin around it itches like hell, like, I want to peel my skin off itchy, but the brand itself…I feel nothing. There are times where the skin feels really tight, not sure how to explain it. I can’t feel the brand itself, Seonghwa said it’s normal for a major third degree burn.”

“I’m sorry you had to go through this, love.” Bringing your hands to his lips, Jeonghan placed small kisses to your knuckles. “I promise we will take care of everything, okay?”

Letting his hands slip from yours, you held Jeonghan’s face in your hands, running your thumbs over his cheeks. He searched your expression, his eyes running over your features again and again. Slowly, his hands settled on your waist, tracing aimless patterns on the skin there.

To say he didn’t look worried or sad was an understatement. His hands on you were a little hesitant, even as he traced your skin, unsaid words playing behind his gaze.

“I’m okay, Hannie.” You attempted to reassure him, watching a faint smile bloom on his lips. “I’m tougher than I look.”

Your boyfriend laughed out his nose, pulling you closer by the waist. “I know you are, it’s one of the reasons why I love you.”

Leaning up, you placed a chaste kiss to his lips, letting him pull you even close to his body, careful of your chest. He hummed quietly, eyes slipping shut along with yours, stealing another kiss.

“If I help you…” He stole a third kiss, this one longer, his arms slipping around your waist. “Get the bandages on to shower, can I join? You know…to save on water and all-”

You leaned your head back in a laugh that bubbled from your chest, wrapping your arms around his neck. “Oh yeah, to save on water. Totally. ”

“Spare me the sarcasm. I miss my girlfriend and I get to shower with her? I’m taking the wins where I can.”

You gave him an incredulous look, raising an eyebrow. “Fine, but no funny business, you got me?”

“Oh, love, you know I can never promise that. Plus…we had fun last time showering together.” He gave you a wink, a mischievous smirk on his face.

Leveling him with an unimpressed stare, you only saw that smirk turn into a wide, playful grin.

“Come on,” He egged you on, reaching up to lift your chin, holding it between his two fingers. “Just me…you…the running water…you and me…You know.”

“Jeonghan, if you want to have sex, you have words.”

Dramatically, he groaned, pouting down at you.

“Yes, fine, I want to have the most wonderful, cheesy, emotional, amazing shower sex, happy?”

“Why do I date you?” You shook your head, but did nothing to stop the smile on your features. “Yeah, fine, now help me get the bandage on.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

Times Like These

(The Anniversary Edition)

Link to anniversary post

Now with amazing FANART 😱

When Eddie finds himself back in his living room, staring down a very alive Chrissy Cunningham, after just having bled to death himself in the middle of a nightmare world, he was rightfully very, very fucking confused.

-Or-

What happens when the new guy, who only just got inducted into the fucked up world of monsters and mayhem, gets stuck in a time loop and finds himself responsible for saving everyone?

Chapter 1: The Hell Loop

WC: 2,902 | AO3 link

Eddie could hardly breathe past the blood that was flooding into his mouth, threatening to choke him before he even had the opportunity to bleed out. He tried to keep it together for Dustin’s sake. The last thing he wanted was for the kid to get hurt or have to see something like this, hence the cutting of the rope, but traumatized was a hell of a lot better than dead, so he couldn’t regret either of the choices he’d made.

“I love you, man.”

Eddie forced the words out, coughing and sputtering

“I love you too.” Dustin replied.

Eddie couldn’t see anymore, but the tears in the younger boy's voice were hard to miss.

It was the last thing he heard before he died.

Dying didn’t hurt, quite the opposite actually. Eddie could pinpoint the exact moment he passed on, because it was the same moment the pain stopped. He found himself floating away into an unfamiliar blackness and couldn’t even bring himself to be scared. He was too relieved at being free of the agony and guilt.

Before he could do much more than wonder where he was floating off to, a loud almost overwhelming rushing sound hit his ears. Instinctually, he tried to cover them to drown out the noise, only to realize he didn’t exactly have a body right now. No ears to cover, no hands to do it with.

With that frightening thought his eyes shot open, -oh thank fuck he had eyes again- and his feet hit solid ground. Inexplicably, he was back in the trailer. He looked up to find that the ceiling was intact, and Chrissy Cunningham– whole, and alive, was standing just a few feet in front of him, looking nervous and jittery.

“Are you sure you have it?”

What the actual fuck?

“Holy shit, Chrissy! You’re alive?!” Eddie gasped.

Her face twisted up in confusion, a feeling Eddie was also becoming intimately familiar with. What was this? Some life-flashing-before-your-eyes-on-the-way-to-the-grave bullshit? But he was already dead, he was sure of it, so that could only mean…

“Oh shit, I’m so sorry,” he blurted out.

Why he was apologizing to some visage of the past that probably wasn't even real, he did not know, but it felt appropriate.

She’d been through a lot.

“You’re probably not alive, actually, if you’re here. Since I'm, y’know– dead, and all.” He continued, letting out a frankly deranged sounding laugh as he began to pace around the room.

“But why are you here?” He mused, thinking out loud.

It could actually be her, he reasoned. She was dead too, right? But that would mean they wound up in the same place and that was absolutely ridiculous.

A sweet little thing like her?

Guaranteed one way ticket to the good place.

And Eddie?

Well, he never had any doubts about where he was going to end up.

The realization hit him like a Mack truck, stopping him in his tracks.

“Oh my god, I’m in Hell. This is Hell. I ran away. I ran– I didn’t even try to help you and then I fucking died!” Eddie let out a painful sob as he dropped to his knees on the floor, hands covering his face. Now that he was back here, having to face her again after what he’d done, It was all hitting him at once.

His voice shook as he continued rambling. “Right in front of Dustin too… and- and now this is my Hell. I’ll probably have to watch you die, over-and-over-and-over again.”

He felt the air shift, heard the light footsteps as Chrissy took a few hesitant steps towards him.

“Watch me die?” She said, voice cracking, sounding so, so small and scared. “Eddie, please… you’re kind of freaking me out.”

Shit, he really couldn’t stop fucking this up could he?

Even if Hell-Chrissy wasn’t real, he still felt horrible for scaring her. None of this was her fault. He rubbed at his face hard and took a deep calming breath before looking up at her again.

She wasn’t looking at him anymore though. She was rigid, staring straight ahead at something he couldn’t see, only the whites of her eyes visible as they rolled to the back of her head.

He jumped to his feet, every instinct in his body screaming at him to run, again, but fuck that. He was already dead, probably, and none of this was real– he was almost sure none of this was real, but maybe he could still try to help her.

Music had snapped Red out of it, maybe it would work for Chrissy too.

Eddie raced to his bedroom, snatching his Walkman off the bed before sprinting back to the living room. He knew it was pretty fucking unlikely that the head cheerleader of Hawkins High was a secret Metallica fan, but it was the best he could do under the circumstances.

He gently placed the headphones over her ears and pressed play, the volume loud enough that he could just make out the sound of the opening riff to Master of Puppets.

It didn’t work.

He hadn’t really thought it would.

He forced himself to watch as her body began to float.

Listened to the sickening snap as each of her arms and legs were twisted, and broken.

Stood frozen, a silent witness, unmoving until her body dropped to the floor like a ragdoll.

He didn't even scream.

He’d tried, and he hadn’t let her die alone. It was all he could do.

Hell or not, Eddie wasn’t keen on hanging out with a dead body if he could help it. So finally, he let himself go, grabbing his keys off the counter, and rushed out to the van.

–

Eddie drove slowly, aimlessly around town, at a bit of a loss for what to do next. It was a far cry from the way he’d peeled out of the trailer park and sped down the road on the night of Chrissy’s actual death, heart racing like a trapped rat desperately seeking shelter from a predator he couldn't even see. This time around he just felt numb.

Not knowing what else to do, he decided to follow his previous course of action. If he was right in assuming that he was being made to relive his greatest hits from the last 7 days, at least this way he knew he’d get to see Dustin’s face again. He drove towards Lover’s Lake, already dreading spending another night at Rick’s.

–

The morning after a sleepless night found him back in a boat, hiding under a tarp, and clutching tightly to the neck of a broken beer bottle. The numbness had faded hours ago, leaving the door open for anxiety and terror to return in full force. In short, Eddie was freaking out.

He wasn’t sure how much time had passed since he’d left Chrissy's body to grow cold on the living room floor, but the second he heard the voices outside the boathouse he went into panic mode, just as he had the first time, unsure of what or who might be coming for him.

Would it be more visions from the past? Or had the devil finally sent his minions to collect.

A few confusing moments, and a jab to the ribs with a fucking wooden oar later, Eddie was, for the second time in his life, throwing Steve Harrington violently against a wall and shoving a jagged edge of glass close enough to his throat that one deep breath would draw blood.

He stared into the other boy's eyes from inches away, and he wanted to drop the bottle. He remembered every single thing Steve and the others had done for him as he faced down the worst week of his life, but this could very well be Hell.

And that might not be the Steve he’d come to trust.

The one he’d come to know wasn’t the same stuck up asshole he remembered from high school, who had proven time and time again that he was a good guy.

And he couldn’t afford to be wrong.

“Eddie! Stop!” The thing that looked like Dustin shouted. “Eddie, it’s me, it's Dustin. This is Steve, he’s not gonna hurt you. Right, Steve?”

Eddie, wanting to believe it so badly, actually did lower the bottle a little, only to accidentally drop it to the ground, his only weapon shattering at his feet.

He fisted a hand into the front of Steve’s shirt.

“What are you doing here man, what do you want from me?”

Steve dropped the oar, all the breath whooshing out of him at once. “Dustin and Max wanted to find you. I’m just here to keep the little shits safe, I swear.”

Eddie caught movement out of the corner of his eye as Robin and Max began to approach from the side cautiously. Right, they had been there too, he'd almost forgotten.

“We just want to know what happened, Eddie. We wanna help,” Max said.

It was the earnestness in her voice that got him, that made him finally break and move away from Steve, allowing Robin to rush to his side.

“You won’t believe me,” Eddie said, barely recognizing the sound of his own voice with the way it trembled.

He was sure they wouldn't believe it. If it even mattered, if they were even really here, if any of this was even real.

He was still pretty convinced this was all just some form of divine punishment, and only happening in his own head, after all.

It wasn’t about what happened to Chrissy. He knew they would believe that, they had once already, but whatever else was going on here? This deja vu flashback thing or whatever it was? They had no reason to trust he was telling the truth about the fact that he was dead– or had died temporarily? Or that this had all happened to him before.

It was, admittedly, unbelievable.

So, he made a choice. He didn't tell them that part. He told the same story he had the first time around and they in turn told him a very short history of the Upside Down. It didn’t hit so hard this time, since he’d already heard it all once before, but it was still wild to think about everything this group had been through. He couldn’t believe it’d all been happening right under his nose.

Despite himself, he watched Steve through most of the explanations. Eddie had been so focused on his own experience at the time that he hadn’t paid much attention to him after the attempted throat slashing. He looked dejected, sad, already resigned to the fact that the monsters he’d been protecting these kids from for years now were back, again. Eddie sympathized.

The week flew by in a blur of blood, sweat, and tears, events unfolding in the exact same way that he remembered, and he never said a word about it to anyone.

He kept expecting it all to end somehow.

On the rare occasion that he fell asleep, he thought for sure he would wake up from this nightmare either back in his bed after having the longest most fucked up dream of his life, or somewhere– else, preferably on a fluffy cloud after having served his penance for petty crimes.

Unless god actually did hate the gays… then he was fucked.

It wasn’t until he and Dustin were alone, after fortifying the trailer and getting his guitar set up that he decided– maybe he’d been an idiot to just keep going along with the script like this. It’d been days without so much as a hint of fire and brimstone, so either he'd been sold a bill of goods his whole life about what Hell would be like, or, this was really happening.

Again.

At this point, neither possibility was a particularly good one. If he’d been somehow sent back in time and given a second chance, he had absolutely screwed it up.

Fuck it, he might as well tell Dustin now at least. See what happened.

“Alright, uh, listen, I have to tell you something– and I’m not sure you’re going to believe me but I swear I’m telling you the truth.”

Dustin laughed, bright and incredulous as he checked the plugs on the amp one last time. “After everything we’ve been through the past few days, and the shit I’ve seen over the last three years, do you really think there’s anything I wouldn’t believe?”

Ok, kid had a point.

Eddie took a deep breath and squared his shoulders.

Here goes nothing.

“I’ve been through this before, all of it, with you guys. For a while I thought I was in Hell, y’know? Doomed to relive Chrissy’s death over and over again, and between you and me I’m still not totally sure that isn’t the case, but then you guys found me in that damn boathouse just like before, and everything else has happened exactly like I remember, and I-”

His speech was cut short by Dustin screeching, “Are you serious right now?! You have to be fucking kidding me! I can’t believe you… you’re in a time loop and you didn’t say anything?!”

Eddie’s mouth dropped open, eyebrows raised up nearly to the bandana he had tied around his head. “Wait, you believe me?! Just like that?!”

Dustin put his hands on his hips, in a gesture that was eerily reminiscent of a certain babysitter that Eddie definitely hadn't developed the habit of staring at at every given opportunity.

Not the time!

“I wouldn’t say, just like that.” Dustin said, snapping his fingers. “If it was anyone outside of the party I would think they were crazy, but this is you we’re talking about. And like I said, after everything? This is not that hard to swallow. I mean, why would you make something like that–”

Dustin stopped abruptly, his entire demeanor changing on a dime as if he’d just discovered something awful. Belatedly, Eddie realized his mistake.

“Eddie, why would you think you were in Hell? Did you… “ The kid trailed off, and when he spoke next his voice was thick with unshed tears. “Do we lose? Did you…die?”

Eddie sighed heavily and ran a hand through his hair. “Shit, I didn’t think– I guess there’s no way to tell you I might be repeating time without admitting it. Yeah, I… died. As far as Vecna, I have no idea. I was gone before Steve, Robin, and Nancy got back.”

Before he could respond, the Walkie in Dustin’s hand came to life, with Robin’s voice crackling through the small speaker. “She’s in, move on to phase 3. Over.”

“Guess that’s it. Time’s up.” Eddie muttered.

Dustin bit his lip as he looked at Eddie, eyes questioning and full of fear.

Eddie shook his head, silently answering the unasked question. He didn’t want Dustin to tell them, or try and stop this. It was too late. He refused to risk the kid, or somehow make things worse by changing the plan this late in the game.

Dustin squeezed his eyes closed and pressed the button on the handset to reply, “Copy that, initiating phase three. Over.”

Eddie gave the kid his best reassuring smile as he pulled the guitar strap up over his head and with shaking hands began to play, knowing there was no time to waste.

Bleeding out wasn’t any more fun the second time around.

Eddie had given it his all, fighting tooth and nail against those flying leeches, but there was no use. There were hundreds of them, and only one of him. Just as he had the first time he took off on that bike to lead the bats away, he’d known the fate he was resigning himself to. The difference this time was, he actually had a sliver of hope.

If the impossible happened once, maybe it could happen again.

“Sorry, kid.” Eddie said, choking back blood as he watched Dustin limp towards him. “Didn’t notice the leg last time–“ He paused, panting, trying to catch his breath. Talking had already become difficult. “Shouldn’t have cut the rope, s’not like it stopped you.”

He forced a smile, trying so hard not to let it show on his face just how much pain he was in. Not that there was much point, the kid had eyes. He could surely see the red ruin Eddie’s body had become.

Dustin sobbed openly and it broke Eddie’s heart.

“God damnit, Eddie!” He shouted, shaking his head and pounding the ground with his fist. “Promise me if you get another shot at this that you’ll tell me. Tell me as soon as you possibly can about the time loop. Please! We have to come up with another plan.”

Eddie wanted nothing more than to be able to scoop the boy into his arms and comfort him, might have tried anyway but he couldn't move. “What if you don’t believe me?” He choked out.

“I'm adopted,” Dustin blurted out through his sniffles. “My mom only told me last year. No one else knows, not even Steve, but… I trust you, Eddie. I’d believe you without it, but if you need to, tell me that and I’ll believe you.”

Eddie nodded, or tried to, and felt Dustin’s hand slip into his.

“I love you, man”

“I love you too”

Abigail set her phone down and rubbed a hand over her face. She let out a frustrated sigh. It was true, she had a few ex boyfriends who hadn’t loved the idea of her being so close with other guys.

Rudy was one of them, but him and Abigail had finally reached a point where that didn’t matter, and they could go back to what they were before they started dating during the filming of season one of OBX.

She wished Luke would understand that Rudy had changed, but she knew the real reason he was upset about it, even if they pretended it never happened.

December 31, 2023

After the fireworks and the party, Abigail and the boys had successfully made it back to her apartment.

They made a great drinking game out of Monopoly on her bathroom floor, and it was getting a little wild.

Jack had almost flipped the board a few times because Abigail threatened to take his properties (even though that was against the rules).

“That’s it! I can’t afford a fucking hotel, I’m quitting this,” Quinn announced, standing from the bathroom tile, wobbling a bit before taking a few slow steps toward the door. He didn’t make it far before he slipped on some spare Monopoly dollars and came crashing down into the bathtub.

Jack laughed hysterically as Quinn groaned from the tub.

“I’ll go get some water for these guys,” Abigail decided, patting Luke’s arm before heading to the kitchen.

Luke glanced down at his phone in a nervous manner. “Wait up,” he said, following her into the hall.

Abigail took two glasses from the cabinet and placed them on the counter. “You think I need help?” she said, teasing.

“I think you’re perfectly capable,” he said, hands in his pockets as he stood by the island.

“Alright,” she responded skeptically.

Luke cleared his throat. “There’s a minute until midnight,” he said suddenly.

“Really? I didn’t know it was that late already.” She filled up each cup and put them in front of Luke on the island.

“Time flies when you’re having fun.” He looked at her like he was expecting something. He wanted Abigail to make the connection. He wanted her to round the counter and get closer to him. And then, he wanted her to kiss him when the countdown was over.

He could hear his heart pounding in his ears. Abigail wasn’t saying anything. She was looking at him with her lips parted, her eyebrows pushed together. Luke thought, for a moment, for a good thirty seconds, that that look meant she didn’t want what he did.

On the tv in the living room that was still playing from before they all left to go see the fireworks, the countdown had reached twenty seconds.

Luke’s eyes glanced down at Abigail’s body, he couldn’t hold eye contact for much longer without imploding. The strap of her tank top had fallen from her shoulder. Absentmindedly, he reached out to fix it.

When he did, he looked back to her face and saw she was staring at his lips. As the countdown finished, she grabbed his hand and guided it to her neck, pulling him forward simultaneously and kissing him hard.

Cheers could be heard from the television, but Luke could hear nothing over the sound of the blood rushing to his ears.

Maybe it was the alcohol that made Abigail that confident, or maybe it was just how tired she was of wanting to kiss him but never being able to.

She pulled away faster than she wanted to. Luke stared at her with a dumbstruck look on his face. Abigail avoided his eyes and grabbed the glasses from the counter, taking them to where Jack and Quinn were waiting.

January 3, 2024

Abigail didn’t talk to Luke about the kiss after it happened. Luke never mentioned anything about it to Abigail either, but she couldn’t help but wonder if it had been more than just a mistake she made when she was drunk.

What did it mean to him? How would it affect their relationship if he wanted it? Were they just going to stay friends or become more?

“I can’t do this right now,” she muttered to herself, before throwing herself back on the couch and passing out.

When she woke up, the Devils game was over. They won, but her nap rendered her groggy and feeling even worse.

She found her phone on the floor and picked it up, deciding to make a call. It rung for about a second before Quinn picked up.

“Abby, what’s up?”

“I just took a fat nap and I feel horrible,” she stated plainly.

Quinn laughed on the other side of the phone. “I feel that. Did you catch the game?”

“No, I’ve been asleep, Quinn. I can’t do this sun down at four thing.” She scowled at the dark sky outside her window.

“Even though you’ve lived in Boston your whole life? I’d think you’d be used to it by now,” Quinn said. “Are you okay?”

Quinn heard it in Abigail’s voice. She didn’t take that nap because she felt overwhelmed by the darkness. She sighed into the phone.

“Luke and I got into a sort of fight before the game. It wasn’t really a fight, he’s just upset I’ve been out with Rudy.” Abigail conveniently left out the whole kissing his brother thing, she just needed Quinn’s reassurance, like she always did.

“He seemed pissed tonight, at least on tv. Wanna talk about it?”

“Not really, but thanks for picking up, Quinny. I just wanted to let somebody know. You know, before I think about it too much.”

“We wouldn’t want that.” Abigail could hear the smile in his voice. They said goodbye and hung up the phone.

Abigail opened her messages and saw nothing new. Then, she checked twitter, and promptly closed the app after realizing she couldn’t escape her problems.

New years kiss

Synopsis: Victor nikiforov throws a New Year’s party, and your friend Yuri plisetsky is having girl problems.

WC: 1.8k

“Alright what do we think about..this one!” I say as I spin around, holding a dress by the hanger in front of my body.

“Hmmm..I don’t know..maybe try that silver one behind you” Mila advises.

Today was the day of victors party, and this being my first year in the senior division, it was my first time being invited.

“You know that the party really isn’t all that right? It’s just a bunch of drunk people playing cards against humanity and dancing” she adds as I turn around to put the dress back.

“I know but it’s my first time going and I don’t wanna look lame” I reply, the sound of clashing hangers echoing in my closet.

“Orrr is the real reason you wanna look good because Yuris gonna be there” Mila teased.

“Ughh are you kidding me he’s gonna be there too!” I say as I whip my head around to look back at her.

“Well yea it’s for all the seniors sooo” she adds.

I groan and turn around to reveal the dress.

“How does it look?” I ask.

“It looks perfect….for Yuri” she laughs.

“Cmon Mila you know how I feel about him! He’s arrogant and rude and I do not like him” I scold, my cheeks burning red in embarrassment.

“Yea I’m sure you feel veeeery stronglyyy about him” Mila adds as she continues laughing.

“Ugh I hate you” I say as I roll my eyes.

“Love you too!” She winks.

“So are we going with this one?” I ask with a huff.

“Yup!”

“Mila are you sure I look ok?” I say as I walk out of the bathroom.

I had on the silver dress we picked out earlier, and a matching pair of heels. My hair was pulled back and my makeup was done with iridescent eyeshadow and pounds of glitter.

“You look gorgeous, don’t worry” Mila says as she tosses on a fur coat.

“Now cmon, we’re gonna be late” she adds, opening the door.

I grab a black coat off the rack and follow her out of the door.

The air was freezing when we stepped outside, I shivered as Mila unlocked the car. I climbed into the passengers seat turned on the heater.

“I’m kinda nervous” I blurt out as we started moving.

“Whaaat? Don’t be, I’m sure Yuri will dance with you” she jokes.

“Cmon Mila im behind serious, I hate him” I say, unamused.

“You say that but then whenever the two of you are together you’re all buddy buddy” she adds, pulling up to a stop sign.

“Ugh you are so annoying” I reply, rolling my eyes.

“But in all seriousness there’s nothing to be nervous about, like I said it’s just a bunch of drunk people doing weird shit” Mila says with a laugh.

“Yea I guess you’re right” I add as I pull out my phone.

Around 20 minutes later Mila and I arrived at Victors house.

“Hey you guys made it!” He says, opening the door with a glass of champagne in his hand.

Me and Mila step Inside and she is immediately pulled aside by georgi, who is obviously drunk, complaining about his ex.

“Mila she posted on her instagram, she got a new boyfriend…hic…I’m going to go beat him up…” he slurs.

“Ok yea let’s not do that..” she says, grabbing a red plastic cup out of his hand.

“Um I’ll be right back I’m gonna go handle this..” Mila adds, looking back at me.

“Mila please don’t leave me I have no idea what I’m doing” I say awkwardly.

“You’ll be fine, I’ll be gone for like a few minutes” she replied.

“Let’s go Georgi” she adds, placing a hand in his shoulder.

She leads him into the kitchen and then completely out of my sight.

I decide to walk down the hallway and into victors living room.

The live countdown was on the TV and Victor, Chris, Yuuri, and Pitchit were all sitting on the couch playing cards against humanity.

Leo, Seung-Gil, and Guang-Hong were all standing in the corner loudly talking.

I leaned against the wall and huffed.

I was friends with none of the people here and the only person I knew was currently handling drunk Georgi.

I scan the room until I see Yuri standing against the opposing wall, talking to one of the girls in my division.

She was twirling her dark brown hair and she bitting her lip as she talked to him.

It infuriated me.

I waited until she left to go talk to him.

“Who’s that” I say, leaning on the wall next to Yuri.

He jumps at the sound of my voice.

“None of your business” he says, looking away from me.

“Jeez what’s your problem” I add.

He took a sip from whatever was in his plastic cup.

“Are you drinking??” I say in shock.

“No it’s water dipshit” he says as rudely as ever.

I scoff and roll my eyes.

“So again why were you talking to that girl” I persist.

“Since when do you care who I talk to?” He adds.

“Since now” I reply.

He lets out a loud sigh.

“She’s some girl from the US, she just came up to me and started talking” he says, taking another swig of water.

“She seems pretty into you” I reply with a twinge of jealousy.

“Well I’m not really that into her, she’s weird I don’t know why she keeps coming up to me” he adds.

“Oh shit I think she’s coming back” he says in a panic.

“Uhh we can go in the basement?i think I saw the door next to the stairs” I quickly suggest.

“Yea whatever just get me away from her”

I take a firm grasp on his hand and lead him down the hall to a white door.

I open it up and flick on the light.

Me and Yuri walked over to a corner and sat down on the carpet.

“I swear if I get caught in another conversation with her I think I might jump off the roof” he says dramatically.

I roll my eyes and laugh at his childish antics.

I never really got to have a good look at what Yuri was wearing. His hair was down and he was wearing a black button down and black dress pants.

As I examined his body I felt my face start heating up.

“Are you ok?” He asks.

“Oh yea I’m fine it’s just uh hot in here” I reply, embarrassed.

“So why did you decide to come?” I ask.

“I was bored, and Mila kept pestering me until I said yes” he said with an annoyed tone.

“She did the same to me, she asked me literally every day until I said yes” I laugh.

He lets out a slight laugh.

I open my phone to check the time and it’s roughly 11:50.

“Shit we gotta go back up” I say.

“No please I don’t wanna talk to that weirdo anymore” he whines.

“Just uh..say I’m your girlfriend” I blurt out.

His face flushes red.

“A-are you sure?” He stutters out.

“I mean it’ll for sure keep her away” I say awkwardly, realizing what I had just said.

“I guess it’s worth a shot”

I grabbed his hand again and we climbed back up the stairs to the main area.

Everyone was dancing, and the girl Yuri was talking to was leaning against the wall talking to Sara.

Me and Yuri walked to the center of the living room and started dancing.

I held both of his hands as I swayed along to the music.

“Hey Yuri~ who’s this?” The brunette girl said as she snuck up behind me.

I watched yuris face go white.

“It’s my girlfriend” he says as he removes his hands from mine.

She looks me up and down and gives me a nasty look.

“Hi, I’m Jessica” she says, forcing a fake smile on her face.

“Uh im Y/N” i add awkwardly.

“You know you’d be really pretty if you like..didn’t put on so much makeup. Guys don’t really like try hards..” she says with a snarky tone of voice.

“Well I don’t think my boyfriend has an issue with the amount of makeup I wear” I spat back at her.

“Hmph what a pity, I’m sure he’d like a more natural girl..like me” she says with a sarcastic smile.

“Well I guess I’ll leave you two to it..but I’ll be back” she adds as she winks and walks off.

Yuri shivers in discomfort.

“What a megabitch” i say angrily.

“Tell me about it” he replies with a scoff.

After the song ended, I watched the TV to see who was performing next.

A singer I didn’t know got up on stage and started singing “take my breath away”

All the couples started slow dancing with the song while I started awkwardly at Yuri.

We were both completely still, faces bright red.

Out of the corner of my eye I see the brunette girl making her way towards Yuri again.

I quickly wrap my arms around his neck and in response he gently wraps his hands around my waist.

I lean my head on his chest and whisper “she was walking over, go with it”.

We sway slowly to the music, starting to melt into each others touch.

In the middle of the song I look up at him, our faces almost touching.

He was so close I could feel the heat radiating off his face. His eyes were glistening as beautifuly as ever, and he smelled like expensive cologne.

His eyes were peering into mine, almost like he was about to kiss me.

“q-quit looking at me like that..” he stutters, quickly returning to reality.

His face was redder than ever as he turned to avoid my gaze.

“Shit sorry…I started zoneing out” I say as I return my head to its place on his chest.

As soon and my head hit the fabric, I felt him pull me closer and rest his head on mine.

My breath hitched at the sudden gesture.

Thank god he couldn’t see my face, it was as red as a tomato.

As the song slowly ended, I felt him lift off of me.

I felt an ache in my heart, like I didn’t want the moment to stop.

I removed my arms from around his neck as the TV reverted to the ball about to drop.

The countdown started.

60…

59..

“Y/N.. I need to talk to you about something” Yuri says as everyone chanted the numbers around us.

48..

47..

“Yea what’s up?” I reply as I look up at him.

39..

38..

“Promise me we’ll always be friends ok?” He says, his face red and his eyes glassy.

28..

27..

“Yea I promise..are you ok?” I reply concerned.

17..

18..

“I..uh” he stutters.

I felt my face heat up in anticipation.

9..

8..

Yuri looks away from me.

7..

6..

I watch as he takes a deep breath.

5..

4..

“Seriously Yuri what’s wrong, are you ok?”

3..

2..

And just as the clock strikes midnight he cups my face and pulls me into a kiss.

I feel time stop around me, all the screams and cheers were completely muffled as I melted into his touch.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and returned the kiss.

It was sweet and gentle, and I wish the moment could last forever.

I pulled away as he looked me in the eyes.

“I love you..I always have” he says out of breath, a lovesick look in his eyes.

“I love you too yurio” I add as I jump back into his arms.

“Happy new years” he replies as he places a quick kiss on the top of my head.

A/N: happy new years!! So sorry for slow updates, I’ve been really busy with schoolwork but I have the next chapter of going gold almost finished so be ready for that! Love you guys!!

Sebastian is a womanizer whose twin has begged him to keep his hands off her best friend. Haleigha is on the rampage after a devastating break up and moving across the world. She wants him to be the one to make her forget, he realizes she’s the only one that can make him feel.

Chapter 1- I Got Rammie, Rammie, Rammie

“Ugh, Sebastian!” Anne growls under her breath, already beyond irritated with her twin.

Without glancing up from his book, he smacks his lips. “What did I do this time?”

“Where did you put my wand?” Her voice raises in pitch with each syllable.

He slowly brings his book down to his lap and looks up. “You mean the one on your chest?”

Anne glares at him and mumbles a curse under her breath. “You could help, you know.”

“I could,” he replies coolly, returning his attention to his book. “But I’ve already completed all my chores and have my bags packed and ready by the door. Now, I believe it’s in my best interest to stay away from you.”

Once again, she glares and curses before stomping away to complete her tasks.

“Why are you so uptight anyway?” Sebastian calls.

“I haven’t seen Haleigha since we were 9. I’m nervous we won’t get along as well together.” Anne flits from one side of the house to the other, mentally checking off her list of things to pack.

Sebastian watches as she looks around, confused, then grabs the stack of quills on the table and holds them up for her. “I definitely think you’re overthinking this. You two were inseparable when we lived in Aranshire and you’ve posted weekly since. I see no way that you’ll not be inseparable again.”

Anne turns to him, her hands on her hips, a sneer on her face. “I see one very large, arrogant, and obnoxious reason we may not stay friends.”

Sebastian sighs, dramatically and slides his glasses to the top of his head, mussing his already disheveled hair. “I already told you a million times that I’d stay away from her.”

Anne relaxes minutely, crossing her arms over her chest instead of the stiff hands on her hips. “You’ve said that before. And we both know there are very few girls that will speak to me anymore.”

He snorts. “If sleeping with your brother and him never calling keeps you from having friends, perhaps they’re not good enough to be friends with anyway.”

“Or perhaps you’re just a numpty and being related to you is a curse.” She snipes.

He stares at her blankly just before the corner of his mouth twitches. “There’s an argument for that.” He closes his book, takes his glasses off his head to place beside his book, and walks to Anne, gripping her shoulders. “I promise I will not ruin your friendship with Haleigha. I won’t even glance at her.” He grabs the overflowing chest behind Anne to carry to the door. “What does she look like so I know who to stay away from?”

Anne shrugs then grabs another case of hers. “We never sent photos, I haven’t a clue. But I’m sure I’ll know her. She’s the same girl she was 8 years ago.”

“Not helpful. I can’t even remember what she looked like then.” He leans his shoulder against the doorframe while Anne gathers a few more bags. “Will she be meeting us on the platform or train?”

Anne shoves a large bag into Sebastian’s arms. “Neither. She’s being escorted in early since she’s never been to Hogwarts nor is she a first year.”

Sebastian hums in acknowledgement. Just as he’s about to reply to Anne, their uncle, Solomon, stomps up the walk. “Let’s go,” he yanks the collar of Sebastian’s shirt. Once Anne is out of earshot, Solomon pushes Sebastian against the frame of the door. “You won’t be getting into trouble this year, right?”

Sebastian bites the inside of his cheek hard enough for a metallic taste to slide along his tongue. “I can’t make any promises,” he whispers, his lip curling. “Wouldn’t want to disappoint you twice as much.”

“You’re a real piece of work.” Solomon bites back through his teeth.

Sebastian sighs as he scoops up his own belongings. “So I’ve been told,” he mumbles too low for anyone to hear.

He grinds his teeth when Solomon jokes with Anne and picks up her smallest bag. Not that Sebastian is jealous or wants any relationship with his uncle, because he doesn’t. He just can’t stand his uncle; he can’t stand how Solomon smells like Scotch every morning, or how smiles for the world, convinces them all he’s a hero auror but saves his anger for Sebastian, and he really can’t stand how Solomon degrades his father then compares Sebastian to him.

But, Sebastian will be on his own soon enough. So he takes the jabs and the hits and the little cuts to his self esteem for Anne’s sake, to keep the peace, because fighting back isn’t worth the pain he’d receive for it.

As soon as they’re on the train, away from Solomon’s heavy judgement, Sebastian finds a private car and drops into one of the seats. He can feel a headache beginning behind his eyes. Since that’s the last thing he needs tonight, he closes his eyes and prays for some blessed silence.

But he must have truly pissed off someone in another life, because that’s the moment that his best friend, Ominis, smoothly slips into the car with his overly energetic girlfriend, Poppy. Sebastian groans internally. Not that he doesn’t like Poppy, he does, very much. She’s one of the only girls in the school that’s earned his respect and holds her own against him and his band of Slytherins. Just not right this moment.

No one would ever know, though. He plasters on a smile and gives Poppy a warm hug and Ominis a pat on the back. “How was your holiday?” Sebastian asks them both as he sits back down.

Although Ominis usually spends the break from school with Sebastian’s family, this summer he joined Poppy on trip to Paris to study magical creatures. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that their Beasts professor, Howin, set up for her. Ominis had been able to wave around the Gaunt family name to go with her. He’s happy for Ominis, Poppy warms him in a way no one ever has; but he’s jealous. He’ll never mutter any of this out loud, but he is. He doesn’t want Ominis for himself, he doesn’t even want to have the burden of a relationship, but without a buffer, Solomon was harsher than he’d ever been; which made for a very miserable holiday for Sebastian.

Before Poppy can begin her story, Anne comes into the car, arms packed with treats and drinks. She practically throws it at Sebastian in lieu of gently setting it down so she can wrap Poppy in a huge hug. She pushes Poppy’s cheeks together then kisses all over her face. “Ohg, I missed you.”

Poppy giggles and stumbles, launching both of them onto the seat next to Sebastian. He does his best not to seem irritated, and with how excited the girls are to see each other they don’t notice. Ominis does, though. He silently kicks Sebastian’s foot and raises an eyebrow.

“Just a small headache,” he whispers so the girls don’t hear. Both of them will throw a fuss if they hear he isn’t feeling his best, he doesn’t want that from either of them.

Once the girls finally stop squealing, Anne dolls out the snacks and Poppy regales everyone with tales from the last few months. Sebastian is barely paying attention. What he’d really like is a quiet room with a warm body under him, but that won’t be happening for at least a few hours.

They finally make it to their final stop and everyone clambers into the thestral drawn carriages. One thestral paws repeatedly at the dirt and snorts at Sebastian as he walks by. Sebastian scoffs, “I don’t like you, either,” and quickly moves on to the next carriage that doesn’t have such an ornery guide.

Despite his irritation and his headache, Sebastian relaxes immensely upon seeing the castle. It’s warm, safe, and familiar; it’s home and lets that knowledge sweep over him.

Soft whispers of a dragon attack of a ministry member filter through the Great Hall. By the time the rumor reaches Sebastian he hears that a whole thunder of dragons attacked the Ministry of Magic, not a sole survivor. While he does find a dragon attack strange, he doesn’t believe all the stories everyone is spreading.

All the students file in, leaving the first years to get sorted into their houses. Anne frantically pats Sebastian’s hand over and over. “I don’t see Haleigha. She should’ve been here by now.”

Sebastian pats Anne’s hand to soothe her. “Maybe she’s already been sorted and she’s not in Slytherin.” He tips his head toward the other tables.

Ominis snorts. “There are a few good witches and wizards in those other houses.” His deadpan humor flies entirely over Anne’s head, she’s too worried to laugh at a poor excuse for a joke.

“I still don’t see her,” Anne grumbles then tries to subtly check the other tables without making a scene.

“Maybe the dragon got her,” Imelda pipes in, entirely unhelpful.

Anne’s eyes nearly bug out of her head, both Ominis and Sebastian give Imelda looks that could kill an ordinary witch. But, Imelda doesn’t believe herself to be an ordinary witch, so she shrugs off their glares in lieu of watching the sorting ceremony.

Samantha Dale manages to catch Sebastian’s eye and silently signals to meet her back at the Great Hall after curfew. Sebastian smirks and nods once. At least he’ll be able to relax a bit soon.

The sorting ceremony is nearly finished when a pleasant shiver runs down the length of Sebastian’s spine, causing him to move his gaze from the front of the room to the doors opening. No one else has caught onto the intrusion, but Sebastian is suddenly keenly aware of the commotion.

A sprout of a girl steps into the room with Professor Fig, the professor of Magical Theory. She’s trying to stay hidden behind the good professor, but it’s no use. It wouldn’t have mattered anyway, Sebastian saw enough.

His heart jumped into his throat then stopped dead, his lungs seized, his mouth went dry. That’s not to mention the more obscene reaction happening between his legs. He drops his head into his hands, mortified. He hasn’t had an uncalled for reaction like this for years, he always has control over himself. He hadn’t even started having dirty thoughts of her, yet. But it’s like his body was keenly aware of something his mind wasn’t picking up.

Sebastian had never seen the girl before, he didn’t think, but she looked older than any first year. He bit his lip as he leaned over the table a little to get a better view. Bonnie lass, is the only thought that could take hold. She was clearly petite, but even through her wrinkled robes her curves could be seen. He couldn’t decide what color hair she had, since it seemed like every color shimmered through her locks. He even thought the sticks and leaves in her hair were charming. He leans closer to the door to see better, getting in Anne’s space.

Anne shoves at his shoulder. “Get tae,” she huffs, but then turns to see what Sebastian is looking at and she has to clap her hand over her mouth to keep from wailing. She does wave maniacally, though. “Bash, Haleigha’s here.” She slaps his shoulder with one hand while continuing to wave at her friend.

Sebastian chokes on his tongue. “What?” He still can’t take his eyes off her and when she finally looks at Anne, her blue eyes practically glow in the light, causing Sebastian’s heart in gallop at what he’s sure is an unhealthy pace.

“That’s Haleigha, dummy.” Anne replies much too loudly, causing several people to turn their attention to the girl coming in.

Immediately Haleigha’s cheeks turn bright red and she covers her face with her hands.

Cute, Sebastian thinks, then mentally recoils. He doesn’t think girls are cute. Or charming. Or devastatingly gorgeous.

Fig escorts Haleigha to the front of the Great Hall, whispers a few things to Headmistress Weasley and Headmaster Black, then finds his seat, leaving Haleigha on display.

Black opens his mouth to speak, but Weasley gives him a terrifying glare before turning her attention to Haleigha. “No worries, now, dear. Come sit.”

Haleigha tilts her head while analyzing the hat. Of course, she knew of the sorting hat. She had spent the first 9 years of her life in Scotland with all the other mini witches and wizards, but having spent all her schooling days at Ilvermorny, she’s Leary and overwhelmed.

Professor Weasley offers her a soft smile and pats the stool. Haleigha takes a deep breath, sits, and waits.

‘Hm,’ a low voice hums in her head. ‘Quite a bit older than the rest, but not new to our world. We’re a long way from America. Brave, you are, for starting over and determined to prove your place. Sharp mind with a gentle heart. Your friend is a Slytherin, but as much as you want to be with her, you want to do the work and make your own friends. You wouldn’t mind continuing your mother’s legacy in Hufflepuff, which is good since your heart does, in fact, belong in’, “Hufflepuff!”

The yellow and black table jumps up with cheers and praise and welcoming hugs. A girl that looks about her age, grabs her hand. “I’m Poppy. Anne is one of my closest friends, she hasn’t stopped talking about your arrival.”

Haleigha trails behind Poppy in a daze. “You know me?”

Poppy offers a warm smile. “I know your name and they did announce it to everyone.”

Haleigha rolls her eyes. “Of course.”

Once the sorting ceremony is completely finished and all announcements have been made, including finally reinstating Quidditch, the feast appears on the tables and Haleigha stares in amazement. “It was never like this.”

Poppy chuckles. “It is a bit indulgent.” She reaches for the platter of meat. “You eat meat or no?”

Haleigha nods, “I definitely do.”

Poppy places a thick slice of beef on Haleigha’s plate. “The roast is the best. I’m always craving it.” Haleigha thanks her and tries to decide what other food she wants, while Poppy continues. “What’s Ilvermorny like? Do they have houses?”

Haleigha’s eyes light up. “They do, I was in Wampus, but I think ‘houses’ is where the similarities end. Ilvermorny is not this grand and not just the castle, in general, it’s not over the top and lavish. It doesn’t feel like old magic, like Hogwarts does.”

Poppy continues to ask a few more questions about Haleigha’s old school, while Anne pulls Sebastian by his collar to join her in bombarding Haleigha.

The two Hufflepuffs are laughing amongst themselves when Anne taps Haleigha’s shoulder.

Immediately Haleigha jumps up, tripping on the bench only slightly, and throws her arms around Anne. “I missed you,” she mumbles into Anne’s neck.

“I’m so happy we get to spend our last year together.” Anne vibrates with excitement. “We’re required to go to our rooms after this for classes tomorrow, but if you meet me here early, I’ll help you figure out where everything is.”

Poppy yips happily. “I’ll make sure she’s here and is taken care of tonight…”

Poppy continues to talk, but it all fades to a quiet din to Haleigha. She finally notices the other Sallow twin, standing behind Anne looking painfully bored. All she wants is to hug Sebastian, the memory of his warmth and playfulness something she always held onto. So, she indulges, pushing past Anne and jumping into Sebastian’s arms.

He’s caught off guard, having spent the whole feast determinedly not looking in Haleigha’s direction. Even still, he catches her easily to keep her from falling.

“Sebastian,” she says quietly, a teasing light in her eye. “Remember me?”

He clenches his teeth for just a moment, catching any reaction he may have had to the way his name sounds on her lips. He smirks, coolly and confidently replies. “Of course, who would forget you?”

Haleigha shakes out her hair and it wafts into Sebastian’s face, the subtle scent of apples, books, and fire catches him off guard and her soft, little giggle makes all the progress Sebastian’s done to tame himself obsolete. “You’re such a liar. Good news is, I won’t let you forget me ever again.”

He gently places her back on solid ground, mildly desperate to get away from her. “What fool would be able to forget you?”

She laughs at his self deprecation and gently shoves his arm. “The biggest fool of all, obviously.”

Sebastian swallows, thickly, his throat far too dry and scratchy. He likes being the reason she laughed far too much. “Obviously.” He takes a step back, then stops to look at Haleigha again. “Just so we’re clear, I never forgot you, I just didn’t recognize you.”

“I’ll forgive you this time, Sallow. A lot can happen in 8 years.” She presses her lips into a small smile then turns her back to him completely to continue talking to Poppy and Anne.

Sebastian walks back to the Slytherin table, far more moody than when he’d left. Damn, I’m in a rammie.

“You okay?”

Seokmin’s voice rang through y/n’s ears as she drove her car away from of Vernon’s white apartment building.

“Yeah, I think so. I’m just nervous for some reason like I can’t put into words why, but my gut is telling me something is weird.”

“Gut instincts are rarely ever wrong, but I’ll be by your side until you tell me you don’t need me to be. Okay?”

Pulling up into the parking lot of the glass framed building just on the edge of the city overlooking the water, y/n felt her nervous sweating start to begin, almost begging for air conditioning to surround her like a chilled hug.

“Want to hold my hand?”

“Yes please, they’re clammy I’m sorry.”

Gripping onto Vernon’s firm hand the three boys almost looking like her bodyguards bypassed the frenzy of people outside waiting to get their own peak at Minghaos installation themselves and walked through the door.

The room was filled with small tables, made by hand as a final touch to Minghaos work, adorned with dainty black table clothes and bottles of champagne placed in ice buckets.

The room was softly lit with yellow and white lighting making everyone have a glow that bounced off of them almost as if they weren’t real.

“Would you guys like a drink? We have champagne and two signature cocktails, one is a gin based drink called ‘delicate’ and the other is a whiskey ginger based drink called ‘storm cloud.”

The beautiful waitress signaled at y/n’s small group and pointed out the drinks on the table.

“I think two storm clouds and one delicate one for sure. Y/n? What would you like?”

You spun to look into Junhui’s big eyes, skating your head saying anything is alright with you so he made the conclusion to just order you the same as Seokmin to be safe.

“Thank you.”

Y/N placed a tip in the small bartenders jar and bid her a smile knowing she’ll be back for more later in the night

“Should we look around now and try to find Minghao? Or wait a bit?”

“Seok lets just wait here, it doesn’t seem like anyone is looking around yet, I'm trying to spy for Minnie and Mingyu.”

“And Mimi.”

“Yeah. Her too.”

“Guys, Vernon and I are going to go find Vernon’s friend Seungkwan. We'll be back in a second.”

“No problem.”

Y/n and Seokmin waved the cute couple off into the crowd.

“So y/n.”

“Seoky.”

“How are we feeling now? What was going on in the car?”

“I don’t know. I told you I’m alright.”

“Yeah but you don’t have to lie to me about that.”

“I promise you I would never lie to you, we basically took an unintentional blood oath as kids it stays”

“Okay. I love you, you know that right? But I rarely see you nervous like this so I can’t help but feel concerned.”

“Shut up. Yes I do and I love you too. I promise im alright.”

Averting her gaze back to the front door she watched as Minnie and Mingyu walked hand and hand, strutting past a very devious looking Mimi standing to the right, chit chatting with someone who was unrecognizable to y/n.

“They look good together.”

“Yeah, they do.”

“Do you think this fake dating is going to lead to them.. you know.”

“Well. If I can be honest with you y/n which I'm sure I can, I think it already has.”

“Yeah.”

“Are you alright with that?”

“I am actually. Any other time it would’ve killed me I think, but now.. I don’t know? I’m content. They make sense.”

“You shine too bright to have someone who shades you.”

“What does that even mean?”

“I don’t know actually, I think im drunk already.”

Y/n placed a small kiss on Seokmin’s temple laughing at his flushed cheeks before a familiar yet irritating voice cut through their ears.

“Y/n, Seokmin. Hi! You both look absolutely gorgeous. Mind if I sit?”

“Hi, Mimi. Sure.”

“How are you guys? This is so beautiful and we haven’t even seen his art yet, how crazy. He’s so talented.”

“Yeah it’s nice. You look great, I love your bag.”

“Thank you. You look nice. I see you didn’t go with the outfit you picked out the other day.”

“Hao told us to come in black so it just didn’t feel right.”

“Mimi, can I ask you how you know Minghao again?”

“Oh wow, well it’s a long story. We met a few years ago, I haven’t seen him in a while actually.”

“Ah, I see. Did you go to school together or?”

“Wow Seokmin, someone’s nosey.”

“Oh, sorry no, not nosy just curious is all. I didn’t know you knew him.”

“It’s okay. Our parents actually work together.”

“Nice.”

“Do you know if he arrived yet? I’m sure he’d love to see you in this gorgeous outfit. Leaving everything to the imagination, he likes conservative girls.”

“No we haven’t seen him, we're just waiting for Junhui actually.”

“Aw, cutie. His boyfriend seems so nice, I stalked them online today. Dumb and dumber vibes, you know? I’m more curious though did you see Minnie and Mingyu? How trashy getting with your friends hook up? Maybe she truly has it out for you. You’re too pretty to never be the one to end up with the guy. But actually you should just date Seokmin, everyone knows how much you guys love each other, it could work out well.”

“Oh I-

“Well, I have to get going and find my way to the girls room. I’ll see you later. Toodles.”

“Toodles”

Seokmin’s voice gained a depth that you haven't heard since someone pushed him in the fountain at your high school during senior prank week.

“What the fuck was that?”

“Fucking weird is what that was.”

Seokmin’s tone turned quickly into a quiet mocking of Mimi’s.

“Dumb and Dumber vibes.”

The two of them laughed as they shrugged off the interesting encounter with a former foe.

A bartender came over to the pair and handed them both a flute of champagne, as the rest of the patrons erupted into a roar when Minghao made his way into the building, Wonwoo walking beside him, smiling at his friend who was receiving praise from his acquaintances, hugging and high fiving him for his success, some chanting for him to make a speech.

Minghao walked straight past Mimi who was stealthily placed behind a tall gentleman the star of the night was not paying any attention to her whatsoever, almost like she was invisible. He strode over to the small table where y/n and Seokmin were awkwardly standing clutching the glass flutes, wrapping his arms around the both of them at the same time.

“You guys look.. amazing, thank you for coming.”

Minghao took a deep breath and looked up and down at the girl he had his arm around.

“Seriously. Thank you.”

“Our pleasure.”

“I’ll be back after I say some thank yous, maybe we can all walk through together okay?”

“Cool.”

The intimate crowd surrounded Minghao and Wonwoo handed him the matching glass of sparkling wine and he held it up as a small cheers.

Y/n peaked through the crowd and spotted Minnie and Mingyu to her right, still looking as loving as ever, Vernon and Jun to her left with an unrecognizable boy, who threw a small wave in her direction that she could only pass off as Seungkwan the only one she couldn’t place was Mimi.

“Hey guys. I just wanted to say thank you for coming tonight to the opening of my show. It’s been about a two year process to finally get through to this night. Many of you have been around much longer than that, so thank you for supporting me even when I was up late at night calling you upset about how it wasn’t going to work out. Vernon, Wonwoo, Seungkwan, and Mingyu, you guys truly were the only reason I didn’t jump ship many times from achieving this goal. It’s nice to see old faces like yours mixed into a group of new friends. So thank you, everyone, really. We’re going to take a peek through the gallery now, feel free to bring your drinks and grab some more along the way. And yeah, just enjoy yourselves. Thank you.”

The clapping dwindled down as the group followed Minghao through the journey he went through over the past two years starting from just a week ago up until the beginning.

Y/N stopped Seokmin to look at a very small white canvas decorated with various pastel water color paints mixed with an oil that looked almost the color of fresh blood.

“Do you know when I did that?”

“This?”

Minghaos voice spoke up behind them quietly, not wanting the room to echo as the group was admiring the work during their part one journey. Seokmin smiled down at his female friend and decided to take the opportunity to wander off on his own like any good wingman would do.

“Yeah.”

“Uh, no. Is this a trick question?”

“No it’s not, but it was that night I found you on your floor, looking at those pictures of you and your friends.”

“I- You got inspired by that? How?”

“Not sure I have time to explain it right now, but look at the title.”

‘About you’ was written on the plaque to the right side of the artwork.

“Wow. Thank you.”

“No thank you, I couldn’t have finished any of this without you actually.”

The art curator swooped Minghao away from your side moving the group into the second room, where the energy was colder, the lighting was turned down slightly, causing the fading colors the feel cold and dark and full of sadness especially coming from the front of the house that was bright and full of life.

y/n was on her own now, sitting near the back of the group losing her sight of all her comfort blankets that were her friends.

She spotted the red lip of Mimi directly across the room, also slipping to the back, trying to blend into the crowd as she looked around.

After spending a good ten minutes looking around the group was led through a vinyl curtain into a room full of dark red lights, the canvases on the wall now sunk to the floor of the room and scattered themselves alongside ripped and tattered papers on the concrete floors.

Something in y/n’s stomach had told her she should leave now, the growing anxiety of the light and coldness of the room, with near to no talking as the faint look of paint splatter sunk into her eyes on the walls almost like old blood.

She tried to turn around and make her exit through the same vinyl door when a hand came up to her wrist.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Oh, Mimi hi, shit you scared me. I actually don’t feel well. I was going to dip out for a second.”

“Aw, come on y/n you can’t leave Minghao now. Not before the big finale.”

“Right..”

“Be right back, I’ll find Seokmin for you.”

“Thank you.”

All of the sudden as Mimi walked away a projector screen hit the wall, various old videos shot on a cam recorder.

Y/n had recognized the faint pink colored walls, her own childhood room.

“Let’s go fucking crazy.”

The words came from lips that were set behind the camera only y/n knowing it was the sound of Mimi’s voice as she was being filmed sitting on the bed of her old room, a bottle of cheap vodka in her hands.

“Okay, y/n I want you to see how pretty you are. We can send this to Joshua as a birthday gift. Should I turn the lights off more?”

She watched herself as she nodded awkwardly giggling on top of the zebra sheets, her hands pushing the red bottle of liquor to her lips, dribbling the liquid down her chin, the sight of tears welling up in her round eyes.

“Y/nnie don’t be sad, nobody will ever find out we accidentally hurt anyone, okay? My dad said she’ll be okay, just a broken leg. Just let loose.”

The lights flickered off the screen straight into her soul pushing down the memories of Mimi stealing her dads car while intoxicated to go and buy more alcohol before this very moment played out.

Suddenly she saw red. All of this had been a set up to embarrass her. Another nail in her coffin.

Her eyes filled with tears as she watched Mimi turn the people in the room to sit and stare at her face. Watching the scene play on as Mimi told a very naive twenty year old girl to strip herself of her own clothes to impress the boy she liked and forget about the worst day of her life.

The people in the room sized her up and down, some turning back to the screen, others reading a small handout that was stuffed into a map of the museum while giggling at the journal entries she wrote about her once crush and the man she had fallen for now before she even made the connection of who he was to her all of those years ago.

Y/n’s legs felt like jello, yet something in her built up the strength to bolt through the vinyl curtain, her heels echoing through the white walls like bullets hitting a glass window.

She heard a voice cutting through the sound of her heels behind her calling out, but she decided she couldn’t stop to turn around and face anyone. It was a secret that couldn’t be shared, something that Mimi used as a final dagger to cut everyone out of her life the same way she cut the girl out of her own.

As she reached the fresh air of the front doors, the same cute bartender was sitting out on the curb smoking a cigarette looking concerned for y/n’s well being.

“Are you alright?”

“No.”

“Want a cigarette?”

“A ride maybe? If it’s not too much to ask. I dropped my phone somewhere, I have cash I can pay you. I just need to get out of here now.”

“I don’t need your money, it’s okay. Let me help you get a cab okay?”

“Thank you, really. What’s your name?”

“Rena. Yours?”

“Y/n”

Rena walked quickly with y/n to the outside cab pickup on the corner of the art museum, quickly hailing you a cab and shutting you tightly inside, leaving you with the last four cigarettes stuffed inside her metal case. As you drove off with a wink from her, meaning she had a feeling she’d see you again.

“55 Miles Avenue, please”

The driver sped through the night lights avoiding cars like it was a game. Pulling up outside the familiar front of Joshua’s building.

Basically throwing money at him and whispering a quick thank you, y/n ran her way up to his elevator, finally reaching his floor, and knocking heavily on the door.

In the few seconds he took to come unlock his apartment to her, she realized how desperate and deschevled she must look.

“Y/n? It’s still early, are you okay?”

“No.”

“Come in, come in.”

Her tears suddenly grew stronger, sinking down to his wooden floor, feeling his hands grab her shoulders and sink down with her.

“What happened?”

Words couldn’t form in her mouth correctly, she managed to spill a couple of sentences that made a way to fill him in.

“Fuck. Y/n come on, let’s get you a shower and some fresh clothes.”

Joshua’s arms picked the girl off the floor and led her into his black marble bathroom, which suddenly felt like an oasis to her.

The water ran hot, scorching her body of the sins and embarrassment she had just gone through, spending more time scrubbing away at her skin and hair, feeling like it would help if she rubbed her skin nearly raw.

Stepping out of the shower she grabbed the gray hoodie and soft sweatpants Joshua had laid out for her, taking her time to step into her clothes and walk out into her reality.

“I ordered you some food. Come on.”

As she finished eating in her daze, the boy to her left carefully rolled the thin paper over the green flower and lit the end, handing her a relief from her stress.

“Thank you.”

“Want to talk about it?”

“Not right now.”

“Okay. But im sorry I made you befriend her again, I should’ve known better y/n. I really thought she had changed.”

“Stop. Please, I really don’t want to talk about her right now.”

“Okay, just one last thing. Why do you think she did it?”

“I honestly have no idea.”

“But do you think Minghao had something to do with it I mean she basically ruined his whole night just for her own revenge. Seems weird that he-“

“Josh.”

“Okay. okay.”

Joshua and y/n sat in the haze of their shared joint, not talking until she finally had enough of a high to fall asleep next to him on the couch and chose to deal with her problems the next day.
