"A Warren. It's a family trait. So are the short tempers, the great cheekbones, the strong wills, and, of course, the powers. All blessings. All signs of where you came from."

Honestly, thinking thoughts about Warren witches and the short tempers. We see this one best through Piper obviously, but I was thinking about the way that this manifests in especially Wyatt out of all the next gen kids.

I feel like Wyatt really represses a lot of his negative emotions. Don't get me wrong, I do generally think that he's a pretty kind, optimistic person in general, but I also interpret him as someone who has this kind of fear at what he's capable of. I've mentioned this before, but the way I went about "depowering" Wyatt, for lack of a better word, to a manageable level is that he locks down most of his powers so that his control is somewhat resigned to not using them because while he's not necessarily afraid of his powers, he's afraid at their potential power. I mean, my Wyatt is currently hovering around 23ish in my next gen stuff, and that is an intense amount of power (and pressure) to put on someone who is still trying to figure out what the fuck they're trying to do right now. However, the issue is that a witch's powers are closely tied to their emotions, so with Wyatt basically locking down his powers, he basically locks down those emotions as well. The trigger for a lot of the particularly destructive powers, aka the ones Wyatt ruthlessly extinguishes in fear of unleashing tend to be rooted in stuff like anger or fear.

So when it comes to Wyatt's temper, I think it's really hard to actually unleash it. One, I think that he's just kind of hard to piss off in general. Chris and Mel have always been the two to start fighting, so he tends to take on a mediator role with them (especially bc the only other next gen kid to stand a chance is Peyton, Phoebe's eldest). So he's pretty good about letting shit roll off his back, because both of his siblings will turn their anger on him if his interference goes poorly. Two is that he's at least. kind of aware of other people's expectations of and for him, which don't really tend to be very human. He's pretty awkward with some of it, because so many people expect this saintlike, godlike figure of the Twice-Blessed and he's a 23 year old working as a library assistant at Magic School trying to figure shit out. (Especially when it comes to the magical politicking bullshit, Wyatt's so earnest and open that he struggles with it. It's an interesting time when the Marks family manages to drag any of the Halliwells to a witch event bc of the layering expectations and personalities for each Warren.) But he's pretty good at the compassion and gentleness that people expect, and he leans into that when he can sense those expectations. Thirdly, and I'll relink this post, Wyatt internalizes the fuck out of shit. He doesn't really blame someone else, even if they've wronged him. Instead, he fully takes on the blame and guilt himself and basically self-flagellates himself about it.

For the most part, he's very difficult to anger. However, when someone actually does manage to piss him off, there are two possibilities. Firstly, he basically unleashes it if he's able to, aka evil beings. Secondly, he hardcore represses it. Not even in a swallow the acid in your throat type of way, but like he ruthlessly shoves it so far down that he can't even taste the burn in his throat anymore type of way. In that case, he just blocks it out and pretends it doesn't exist until he basically believes it. The biggest thing is that when it comes to short tempers, no one really realizes that Wyatt even has one.

Needless to say, and actually the inspiration for this is that repression demons can wreak a whole lot of havoc through Wyatt if they can get to him. It'd be a source of pretty significant power to the demon and damage to those around Wyatt, and the guilt he'd have afterward? Could honestly power another repression demon. An important part of growing as a person and as a witch for him would need to be embracing and dealing with his emotions, all of his emotions, in a healthy manner instead of just repressing them entirely. I feel like that'd make some cool plotlines for growth, especially with the empaths in the family.

When Y/n met Tom

One

The story and cast for it is on my Wattpad

Warnings: Idk honestly maybe some minor cussing.

Paring: Tom x Female! Reader

—————————-

“ What, can’t a man just enjoy the sight of his lover in the morning?” Y/n rolls her eyes. He knew the rules. ” Tommy” She says with pitty in her voice.

“ You know the rules!” Tom rolled his eyes before getting up.

“Look okay I didn’t mean to stay the night but it just sort of happened “ he explains before moving closer to her, trying to kiss her shoulder, but fails. Was it all it was? Just sex?

“Don’t let it happen again Alright“ her tone harden.

“ yeah, sure” he said .

“ I gotta go , The Chief Of staff wants to have a fucking meeting and I am so so late” she tells him before getting herself dressed. Tom doesn’t say anything

“ y/n can we-“

“ Later okay, there is a spare key under the doormat and you’re welcome to stay and help yourself to breakfast but you better be gone when I come back from work” Y/n rushed out the door, quicker than Tom could utter her name.

When Y/n met Tom everything changed. Her intention at first was to use him to get to her boyfriend jealous and angry. At the time Tom was unaware of her intentions but as you all know it was only a matter of time before he found out the truth. Thought did he too leave out a detail about his intentions. Tom was using Y/n as a rebound from his crazy ex and they both just realised they could benefit from it.

To prevent feelings from getting involved they came up with a set of rules.

Y/n only cared about one rule and that rules was that there not to be any strings attached. That brings us to the present with Tom listening to the light click that the door made as she closed it. He puts his shirt on and looks around the room for a little while. He thought since she offered so ‘ kindly’ he would take her up on her offer and stay. He couldn’t recall a singel time him and Y/n had a serous conversation, breakfast or even a walk in the bloody park. They’ve come close a couple of times but Y/n has always finds a way not to let him in. Tom had started to have feelings for y/n early on. To afraid to loose her he decided to keep them to himself. She was to distant and to consumed with work. There’s always something she has to do that makes her leave in such a rush.

Tom grabs one of her pictures and takes a long look at it. It was a photograph of y/n and her mother, they were hugging and smiling. She looked so different, happy. The y/n he knows is angry and angsts all of the time. Tom kept looking around in her room. The light from the sun kept him from crawling back into her bed. “ I wish she would just stay for one moment” he said to himself.

Tom opened the bedroom door. He casually walked out of the room and into the kitchen.

Just as Y/n enters the diner her phone rings. She looks down and sees that it’s Tom. “ yeah?” She breathes

“ hey yeah, I just um... I “ Tom stutters

“ what Tom, get to the point” Y/n throws her stuff into her work locker, making a loud thud.

“ I just thought you should know that you’re officially out of milk” he explains

Y/n sight loudly “ Anything else!l?”

“ no, oh- I made pancakes if you want some when you get home?” Tom could practically feel the eye roll as he realized how dumb he sounded.

“ yeah thanks” she hangs up.

Y/n continues out the staff room “ Hey I’m here” she exclaims while putting her hair up. She felt the glares as everyone looked at her. There was no staff meeting, she simply needed an excuse to get away from Tom. She didn’t like the way he’d been acting lately, she felt almost clustered like he was suffocating her. He had started to stay the night, making food for her and even come over whenever he felt like it. She grew annoyed and in desperate need of separation from him. Sure felt a little bad for using him but to her excuse he was in on it.

” what do we got?” She asked the cashier “ 3 coffees , two with milk and one black” She tells Y/n. Y/n nods “ table?” She asks

“ 3” The cashier said and went back to whatever it was that she was doing. Y/n grabs the the muggs filled with coffe and brings it out to table 3. When y/n arrives she notices that the people sitting at the table are friends of Toms. They all smile as they too notices that it’s Y/n.

Zendaya, Jacob and Harrison are all seated at table 3. In an attempt not to talk to them Y/n simply hands them their drinks with a soft fake smile “ 3 coffees, 2 with milk and 1 black “ she simply tells them. Just as she’s about to leave Zenday tells her “hey you’re Tom’s girlfriend right” y/n cringe at the word, girlfriend? Where had she gotten that from? Y/n certainly wasn’t anyone’s girlfriend and definitely not Toms “ no, we’re just friends” Y/n explains hoping that they all just leave it at that “ oh but I- “ Y/n cut her off “Whatever it was that he told you guys it’s not true. I lied earlier we’re not friends we’re more like two random people who happen to know each other” Zendays cuts Y/n off

“ Yeah, that sounds a lot like friends to me”

“Wrong, just because you know of each other doesn’t mean that you’re friends”Jacob corrects. Zendays rolls her eyes before giving her attention back to Y/n.

“Anything else I can help you ?” Y/n spoke sarcastically. Her tone deepened as she tried her hardest not to go right back behind the counter and give the table to someone else. Her breathing increased as she waited impatiently for a reply.

Zenday, Jacob and Harrison looks over the alternatives that they have. Y/n was going to kill Tom. Has he seriously been going around telling his friends she was his girlfriend. Y/n? Who has tried her hardest to show Tom that she wanted nothing more than just sex, yet he kept showing up and staying the night, if she didn’t know better it’s almost like they’re in a relationship.

“ yeah now that I come to think of it we’d like a whole bunch of pancakes sent to us just like a lot cause ya know we’re” her tone had changed. She went from happy and chipper to something completely different. Y/n hates it but at the same time sort of liked it.

“ was that it?”

“ Yeah, you may leave now”

Y/n rolls her eyes dramatically before leaving. Why couldn’t her first costumer be some she didn’t have some weird connection to. She turns her heals and walks back to the counter. Her eyes glued to the path she was walking in. She was enters the kitchen and calls out the order ”stack of pancakes for table 3” she says. Her eyes go back to the table where Tom’s friends are seated and she watches as they drink their coffee and chat.

Y/n walks back into the lockers. Just as she reaches inside her bag she can hear the faint noise from her ringtone. It was Tom calling, again. It couldn't have been more than half an hours since last time ” Hey” she speaks into the phone.

” hi, um I decided to go grocery shopping for you since I feel bad that I finished up all of your milk and stuff” Y/n couldn't help but chuckle. Even if she was annoyed with him she still needed that laugh

”hey, so your friends are here ” Her voice was soft. Tom was silent for a couple moments. There was something about the way he went silent that scared her.

“ Shit” he whispered, it was clear that he didn’t want her to hear that.

“ what? Tom” Her voice became stern again.

“ I sort of ish, might have told them where you worked. I just” She cut him off. The anger started to bottle up inside her

“ What?”

“They wanted to see if you were real. I don’t..they just didn’t believe me..I’m sorry” He sight. Y/n didn’t know what to say. She was lost for words. What had there been to believe? What was he going around telling people? Was that the reason for Zendaya’s sudden change? Honestly all she wanted was for someone to be honest “What wouldn’t they believe Thomas?” Using his name as a threat. She rarely called him Thomas, but whenever she does it’s because she wants to bring a point across or to show him she’s mad. Y/n didn’t have an issue with his friends being there, the issue had been the whole girlfriend fiasco and the fact that they started to embarrass her at work. Maybe people didn’t catch the memo but she knew what Zendays was doing. She knew that all she was doing was to protect her friend but Y/n just wasn’t in the mood.

” Can we not do this over the phone? Later alright?” He asked her

“ No, Valencia is picking me up after work” She says mater of factly. Like it was something that Tom should have known about it. Y/n was going to see Valencia and the others, including Wyatt. Valencia has been planing a going away party for Flynn. Tom sights with clear disappointment.

“ Fine whatever, but I just think we should talk whenever you have time Alright?” He asked.

“ Yeah-Yeah “ Y/n double talk, hanging up the phone and walking back out. Zendaya and the others are still sitting by the table. Casually eating and drinking their coffee. Annoyance filled her whole body. Y/n could help that she was emotionally detached from other people, the other people being Tom. What happened between her and Wyatt was bad and never to be repeated. She fee deep in with him and it nearly cost her everything. It didn’t matter anymore who she loved, she had to keep a distance and Tom was her solution to that.

Besides Tom was getting over and ex as well. Some upperclass brat who couldn’t have given less shit about him. Y/n had heard him talk about her on the many occasions when she fake slept to get Tom to leave early. He had stayed up for hours telling about thing he’d never have the balls to say to her face. Like shit about his ex, the fucked up things she said and did to him. Y/n came close to responding to Tom multiple times. But she refrained. She didn’t want him thinking the wrong things. The multiple times he had cried next to her thinking she wouldn’t hear anything, then getting his stuff and leave. Y/n had to admit it was sad. Tom was a good guy and he didn’t deserve to be treated the way his ex or Y/n herself was treating him. His sweet innocence could break at any moment.

There she was though. Sitting with Two of his best friend judging Y/n for her relationship with Tom. It pisses her off whenever someone tries to butt in on Y/n business. Her anger fades away when Jasmine Hart approaches her. Her long blonde curls swaying as she made her way over. Jasmine Hart, she and have worked Together for 4 years now. Jasmine is the light of the cafe, with her constant singing and flirting. She has quite a huge following at the cafe , regulars who specifically wanted her. The two became close after a customer got a little to handsy with Y/n and Jasmine came to the rescue.

“ I apologize for that asshole, sincerely. He always comes around the diner pulling shit like that. Like this place looks like a brothel” She had said. Immediately bringing light back Into the room. Y/n smiles at her work-bestie.

“ Stuck up rich kids” she eyes table 3. Y/n snort “ Something like that” y/n agrees. Tom and his friends were from the other side. They were something out an episode of gossip girl. “ I heard that they’re your table?” Jasmine asks. Y/n nods.

“ I feel sorry for you, you know what, let’s spit on their food that oughta teach them sometin’ “ again Y/n laughs and almost immediately catches a glare from Zendaya.

Jasmine always made everything better.

“ So you going to the Flynns tonight?” Jasmine asks.

“ yeah, Let’s be honest thought, it’s more Valencia’s party than Flynn’s “ Y/n tells jasmine as her bright white smile appears.

They both chuckle at their friend.

“Y/n” one of the cooks call. He hands out a plate full with pancakes along with a sticker that says 3. Y/n sights and grabs the plate “ ha, remember what a said, spit darling spit” Jasmine gives a another warm smile before going into the staff locker room. Y/n sights, as much as she’d want to she couldn’t spit on their food. She places it down before turning her heals “ Hey Y/n” Zendays calls. Y/n could practically feel herself wanting to fold 12 times until she could see the stars.

“ Look I realize I came off as a bit hars earlier, you know I only care about Tom and after Alicia he wasn’t himself. Then you came around and he came back to us. Now I find out that he has only been making that up in his head so he can forget about her. I’m sorry you got dragged into it and I’m really sorry for my behavior earlier and I will talk to Tom” She tells Y/n. She really hadn’t expected that from Zendaya. She wasn’t wrong though, Tom had been telling himself thing but why about Y/n? He has gone on numerous dates since they started and he even came close to ending things between me once.

“ it’s fine” Y/n fake smiles.

“ Not it’s not and I am sincerely sorry for my behavior” Without thinking she hugs Y/n. She barley knew how to react, minutes ago she had thought about spitting in their food and not they were hugging each other. Surprised Y/n just stands there. Harrison and Jacob was also just sitting there, equally confused about the whole situation as Y/n. Zendays finally lets go and sits back down “ Oh and it’s enough pancakes for us” she lets out a small laugh before going back to conversation with Harrison and Jacob.

Y/n walks back to Jasmine who is practically on the floor laughing her ads off. Y/n rolls her eyes and she watches as Jasmine recovers from her laugh attack. Her blond hair almost falling out of her bun.

“ Oh god can this day just be over”

” Why? It's barley getting started”
