Health update
I've been feeling so much better recently. Eating in the morning helps, especially a healthy carb like a banana or strawberries (I didn't have any bananas left so I had some fresh strawberries on my drive to work).
I do have minimal skin inflammation and don't even need to use steroids. My sister commented on how clear my skin looks and compared it to how inflamed it looked last months. It looked so bad and I felt hopeless. Now it's clearing up, the infections are going away, and I still have some inflammation on my hands but I don't need steroids (I think they look fine but I have some stubborn inflammation on my left palm).
I was worried about consuming extra calories throughout the day. But eating a carb in the morning gets rid of my inflammation and it works so well. I'm taking a break from fasting, but I'm going to stick to having a small snack in the morning. Even with the concern about extra calories, at least I now have the energy to go on long walks on my own. I used to be too fatigued to go for a simple walk. I love walking and can go for miles. But fasting made me feel so fatigued, I could no longer go for my regular walks.
I was reading a book today that talks about some lifestyle habits for people like me who are stressed and high energy. It says to reduce anything that causes stress, so to do gentle workouts like walking, pilates, and yoga, get massages and acupuncture (idk how I feel about that because needles and idk if it's scientifically backed, I haven't looked into it), quality sleep, meditation, epsom salt baths, and aromatherapy. These all sound relaxing to me.
I feel so much better now that I'm not fasting. My skin is healing and it may not be perfect. At least it looks great compared to how it looked previously and even without steroids (would look better and less inflamed but it looks great). I am eating well and have more energy to go for my long walks. I'm taking my dog out for long walks now and we love it.
I feel much less hopeless and depressed over my health. Within a month I recovered so fast. My skin still needs some healing time, but I know I will recover. Seeing my health decline hurt me a lot psychologically. I felt hopeless and so depressed and even angry. Now my skin is a lot better. And I have enough energy to walk 10k steps daily. I feel more optimistic about my health and now I can adopt other relaxing/cortisol reducing healthy habits and am more hopeful about other things stressing me out like my mental health and teeth. If anything both require adequate nutrition, vitamins, and minerals which prolonged fasting takes away from you.
Besides that my diet has been healthy. I had 1/4 of a crumbl cookie at work today (balance). I'm taking my digestive enzymes and drinking aloe juice. I feel less bloated and feel great overall.
I do have tight muscular calves and I know walking a lot does contribute to this. Probably even genetics as I've had this 10+ years ago before I started college (I saw old photos of myself). I'll see how I want to address this. Healthwise the muscles feel tight, so it makes sense to stretch them. Cosmetically they appear large compared o the rest of my body and wanted to see if there are safe nonsurgical methods to reduce their size.
I'm feeling great now and am so happy. My skin is healing because I'm eating more and am starting my day off with a healthy carb like a banana or strawberries. Also I now have the energy to go for long walks, which burns more calories (I was concerned about eating more calories but I'll definitely do that if it means saving my energy and skin). I'm optimistic I will heal. I'll see how I feel towards the end of this month. I've always been in decent health and seeing myself decline so rapidly was distressing. Thank goodness I found the root cause and I am addressing it and feeling much better now. I went for a walk now, let me see what other relaxing habits I can do tomorrow and this weekend.

When The OP Boys Are Sick
Tumblr media
A/N : idk enjoy. And honestly all of them would be very needy for attention :p
Includes : Kid, Law, Luffy, CAVENDISH 🤍 and Bartolomeo.
Summary : how these five boys react when they’re sick in bed.
-
Luffy
Luffy is a child so he wants attention, but he’ll be the wailing, sobbing type. If he isn’t, then he’s the drunk type.
“[NAAAAMEEEE]! I WANT MEAT!..”
The poor rubber boy suddenly became weak and falls back into bed with a thud, his face exploding in the burning fever he was having.
“Luffy..” you sigh in exasperation, rushing over and checking his temperature before tucking him back in. “Sanji’s making you some soup, with small bites of chicken, you can’t have big cooked meat yet.”
Luffy cries out in agony dramatically, wailing at the thought of no meat and groans. “I WANT MEATTTT! Get me meat nowww!”
Your head began to ring with Luffy’s cries, his tears staining his cheeks and pillow, while his snot began to fill up and drip down his nose. His sniffles were heard and you can tell Nami was slowly fuming outside the room from Luffy’s childish cries.
You just smile softly and go over to your Captain, placing your hand in his and leaned close, pressing your forehead to his.
The action made Luffy stop as he quieted down and stares at you with teary eyes and small sniffles.
“Luffy, your fever is slowly but surely going down. If you relax, rest and eat Sanji’s delicious soup then you’ll be better by tomorrow afternoon. I’ll spend some beli’s to get you meat, okay?”
Luffy’s teary eyes slowly went away and a hopefully and starry glint shined in them. “..really?”
“Yes, now relax and get some rest, alright? When Sanji’s done with your soup, I’ll bring it to you.”
Luffy then plasters a wide grin and and chuckles eagerly. “Shishishi~ okay!~” he sang out, gripping the blanket and shutting his eyes.
You shake your head playfully at how easily he listened and just smiled at him, letting him rest.
“Good night, Luffy.”
-
Law
Law is the strong silent type, so he won’t say anything, he’s just all shy and embarrassed easily when he’s sick~
“It’s amazing that even you can get sick.”
Your lips curve up in amusement as you sat in the chair beside Law’s bed, said male currently resting upon it with shallow breathing and shut eyes.
Your legs were crossed and in your hand was a good book you were reading. The appearance was similar to Law’s whenever you were sick and honestly, it made you feel prideful and great to have the roles reversed.
“Shut up..” Law turns away onto his side to hide his face which was surely pink, but not due to the fever.
You giggle at him and set your book to the side and lean closer to him. “Don’t be embarrassed, Law, everyone gets sick once in a while. Even doctors.” You tease, making the poor boy flush further as he clicks his tongue.
“Stop talking. Leave, I’m sleeping now.”
You just giggle further and stand up. “Fine, I’ll be back with some soup for you. You want bread with it?”
Law pales and he gives a sharp look to you with the tilt of his head. “I swear if you try that, I’ll-“
“Yeah, yeah. See you in a bit.” You roll your eyes playfully and went to walk away when Law grabs your hand.
“What is it-“
With force, Law pulls you back to the bed and into it beside him, and he turns to wrap his arms around your torso.
Your back is facing him so you can’t see his face but his tight grip on your waist and legs around yours let’s you know you aren’t going anywhere.
“Stay.”
“You literally just said to-“
“I know what I said! Now I want you to stay!”
He buries his face into the neck and hair and inhaled your scent a bit, relaxing his grip and just held your closer.
“Just stay with me..”
-
Kid
Kid is literally a giant ass toddler who wants nothing but attention, but his stubborn ass will act all strong and tough.
“Fuck off! Leave me alone! Come in here and I’ll rip you to shreds and blow you to guts!”
Kid’s loud yells and scowl made the poor lackey outside the door jump in fear and scurry off with his life flashing.
You gave a sympathetic expression to him and exhale, mentally cursing Killer for insisting the Captain to let him take care of those Pirates yesterday, only for Kid to be stubborn and take care of it himself.
It lasted longer than intended since various sea kings appeared and the snow appearing just made it much worse, and now, Kid was sick.
Knocking on the door twice, you wait for a response before letting yourself in.
“OI! DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?! I SAID!-“
“Alright, stop yelling already.” Your voice interrupts, slamming the door shut behind you and tossing a cool towel in Kid’s face.
The red head scowls when the towel drops onto his lap when he sat up and scoffs when he sees you. “Get out. Your face irritates me.”
“Thanks.” You lazily smile at him and walk closer towards the bed, setting down a fresh glass of water and some meds for him. “Here, take these.”
Kid eyes the items you set down and turns away. “No way. That shit is disgusting.” The visible sweat forming on his face makes you sigh as you grab a cloth and wipe it gently, much to Kid’s dismay.
“This shit is what will let you get out of bed, Captain dumbass, now take it.” You say, pulling away and Kid narrows his eyes. “What’d you say?!”
“I said-!”
Kid’s rough pull when he grasps your wrist is enough to yank you into his lap and he’s quick to pin you down to the bed.
He smirks down at you before dropping his weight onto yours, successfully crushing you and eliciting a painful grunt from you.
“Agh, get off me, Kid, I have to go help Killer-!”
“Too bad, I have to rest in order to get better, so that’s what I’m doing. You’re stuck here until then.” Kid says, adjusting a bit so both him and you were comfortable as he continues to lay sprawled on top of you.
You hiss and curse into his ear but Kid pays no mind and quite easily falls asleep, making you groan in annoyance and just lay there, exhaling heavily until Killer came in.
“...you’re so fucking heavy..”
-
Cavendish
Oi.. clingy baby omg- Cavendish is precious and so adorable because he’ll want nothing more than to just sleep but with you in his arms. Just pray Hakuba doesn’t show up.
“Come, [Name]! Lay down with yours truly and provide me your body warmth!”
“No.”
Cavendish is visibly shocked when you refuse him and he springs up rather quickly, causing dizziness to form in his aching head. “Ack-“
You heave a sigh and push the tall blonde down on his back and switch the wet rag on his forehead for a fresh one.
“If I lay down with you, I’ll get sick. Who will watch after you then?”
Cavendish merely puffs his cheeks out in defeat and exhales heavily, feeling his forehead burning up despite the chills his body was receiving.
“I’m tired and cold and hot and hungry at the same time!” Cavendish cries out in pure frustration, making you smile at his pain, you patting his chest gently.
“I know, Caven.” You hush out in a soft voice, rubbing soothing circles on the back of his hand while the others played with his hair.
You pulled the covers up to his shoulders and let him rant on exhaustedly before slowly drowsing off with your delicate touches.
Just as he was about to completely pass and sleep, he mumbles out a few words at the end of his rant.
“...thank you.. [Name]..”
-
Bartolomeo
Bartolomeo is constantly passing out because someone like you is seriously taking care of him. He won’t ever recover, just staying sick for days.
“The one and only [Name] in the flesh!! Taking care of me!?” Tears began welling up in his eyes as Bartolomeo bit his upper lip to prevent making noise.
“What have I done to deserve such a blessing?”
He continued to sob tears of joy, his tears successfully soaking and wetting his cheeks and pillowcase, a bit of his blanket as well.
Suddenly there was a knock on his door.
Startled, Barto quickly pulled up the covers to hide his teary, flushed face and felt his heart beating a million miles a minute.
“Barto, are you awake? I made you some soup.” Your angelic voice calls out and Barto’s heart nearly stops. He was too tongue-tied to speak, only stammering out incoherent noises under the covers.
Assuming he was in pain, you set the bowl down and rip off the covers in a panic, just to see Bartolomeo teary with wide eyes staring up at you.
His face was flushed more than usual and you frown, placing a hand on his forehead. The action alone nearly made him pass out.
“You still have such a high fever... should I take you to Luffy’s doctor?” You ask softly, worry evident in your eyes.
At the mention of seeing the Straw hats, Bartolomeo’s eyes widens and he literally lets out a loud gasp before nearly fainting.
“S-S-S-Straw Hat Luffy?—!”
-
A/N : I wanna write something. I really do. I wanna WRITE, but my hands and head doesn’t want to. Ugh, I feel so unmotivated! >:))) but I’ll push through. I have something I want to do.
Also, I love Cavendish sm but I can’t write for him 😭 whyyyy?

Would you be up for writing a SMUT fiction with the one & only, Marcus Moreno? Where Y/N is like 5 years younger then Marcus, but they fall in love anyway. Y/N meets his daughter and they have dinner together, but then she has a sleepover at a friends house and then Marcus and Y/N fuck? 😂 Idk, something like that.
Tumblr media
I love Marcus so much, okay? I am weak for this man! Enjoy - this does have spice, the sweetest of spice - 18+ only!
Marcus Moreno x fem!reader; warnings: smut
Pedro Characters Masterlist
»»————- ♡ ————-««
Marcus was a man of many things - conviction, steadfast in his ways, kind, selfless, funny, handsome - the list went on and on. But among the many things, he was also incredulous at the fact that someone like you could be smitten with him.
But here you were - his lover, his friend, his partner. So many brilliant things all wrapped into one. He'd been hesitant to approach you, considering himself to be too dorky, too lame, and too old. He was only a few years older, nothing much, but it had never seemed to bother you. As soon as he'd met you and felt that familiar warmth wash over him, he'd felt like an old fool.
 More times than you could count had you caught him staring at you with that silly, goofy smile on his face. But he was never going to make a move, no, nope, definitely not. That would have been a sin, practically blasphemous and he would never entertain the notion and he was nervous just thinking about it and -
You had casually strolled him up after a mission, giving him a smile before sitting down next to him and cutting to the chase.
"Do you want to go out with me?" Marcus nearly spit out his coffee as you sat there and watched him a soft smile tugging on the corners of your mouth. Once he calmed down and quit coughing, he opened and closed his mouth a few times, trying to get his bearings.
"Do I...what?" he pushed up his glasses - surely he couldn't have heard you correctly.
"Do you, Marcus Moreno," you pointed at him with a bemused expression, "want to go out with me? And I'll make this super clear, do you want to go out with me on a date, with romantic intentions? I'd like to take you to dinner sometime."
"Me?" he bumbled as a tinge of pink flushed into his cheeks.
"Of course you," you laughed lightly at him and he visibly relaxed at the warm sound, "unless there's another Marcus Moreno around I should know about?"
"I...no..no. Only me."
"I hope not," you insisted as you reached over and straightened his glasses, "because I'm quite fond of this one. You don't have to of course...please tell me if I'm overstepping boundaries since you are technically the boss. And perhaps I flatter myself with thinking you might feel the same."
"I'd love to," he nodded as he relaxed and grinned back around you, "I...ugh...yeah. I'll really like that."
"Great," you beamed at him, making him melt all over again, "its a date."
»»————- ♡ ————-««
That had been a few months ago, and some days he still couldn't believe his luck. Then again, neither could you - how you had gotten on lucky as to call Marcus your own you would never know. 
Marcus had been nervous about stepping back into the dating field, well you, you were the first and only, but you'd made it so easy. There was never any awkwardness or worry or fear...it all just fell into sweet, blissful place. 
The thing he has been most nervous about though was Missy. Her approval meant everything, she was his world after all. But he also wanted you to like her because you were also becoming an increasingly big part of his world.
But his worries had been for naught because you fell in love with the young girl when you'd met her and vice versa. Now the two of you were thick as thieves, often ganging up on him. Not that he minded of course; his heart hadn't felt so full and happy in a long time and that was everything to him.
"Honey?" you put your hand on his shoulder before giving it a gentle squeeze. Marcus had been halfway through stirring a pot of pasta, homemade that afternoon by yourself and Missy, but had completely zoned out. As soon as he felt your gentle touch he seemed to snap back into reality, a small smile crossing his features. You gently tapped the side of his before he leaned in and kissed you, "What's going on up there, Moreno?"
"Nothing," he turned back to the pot and gave it a final stir before putting the lid back on. He reached for you,  his hands easily finding purchase on your hips as he tugged your towards him. You made a small sound of surprise before snaking your arms around his neck and carding a hand through his dark locks, "just thinking about how much I love you."
Love. That's what this was. He knew that now, hell, he'd known for some time, but he'd been nervous to admit to it. He never thought he'd be saying those words again, at least not to anyone besides Missy or his mother.
And it had terrified him. It had scared him to death - the idea of loving another again. At first he didn't know how to respond, how to react or what to do. It was overwhelming and all consuming, and yet...it made him happy. So happy. And it was apparent to everyone around him - how filled with life he was again, how the light never faded from his eyes, how his smile was bigger than ever. That's when he knew exactly what it was.
Of course, Marcus being Marcus, was so concerned with when and how to tell that he blurted it out during the middle of sex. It was right when you were both on the precipice of your climaxes, and he couldn't help himself as he nuzzled his face into your shoulder.
It had been slightly unexpected, sure, but you just kissed him and repeated the words back to him sweetly - reverently. You knew too that this wasn't like anything you'd experienced before...this was everything.
"I love you too, Marcus," you whispered as you trailed a few fingers along jaw, touching the patchy stubble that you loved so much, "I-"
"The kitchen is a communal place," Missy groaned at the two of you as he came down the stairs, her backpack and sleepover gear in tow, "I'd appreciate if we kept it that way."
"Very funny," Marcus pulled back from you with a wink as you went over and helped Missy with her stuff, "I'm the adult I make the rules!"
"Whatever Dad," she sassed him as you just laughed, "see you tomorrow. Love you!"
"Love you too kiddo," Marcus offered her a wave as you carried her bag to the door for her.
"Have fun with your friends," you leaned down and gave her a tight hug. She responded in kind before taking her things in hand, "don't get into too much trouble, yeah? And if you need anything, we'll be right here."
"We won't," she insisted with a sly little grin that you couldn't quite believe, "have fun too! See you tomorrow. I love you!"
And just as quick as a flash she was bolting out the door and down the street to her friend's house. It took you a moment to recover as you realized what she had said. You walked back to the kitchen with a grin on your face and your heart feeling like it was going to overflow at any moment.
"What?" Marcus asked as you walked in a daze.
"Missy," your voice was soft as you leaned against the counter, "she said she loved me...its the first time she's said it."
"And why wouldn't she?" he too felt an overwhelming rush of emotion as he realized just how much this meant to him, "you're pretty amazing after all."
"I love her too, so much...I just...I want her to know I love you and her and I want to be a part of your lives  but I would ever try to replace her mom," you explained as he nodded in understanding. Marcus moved to stand in front of you, his hands finding either side of your face as he pressed a kiss to your forehead, "how did I get so lucky to find the two of you? I love you both more than you will ever know."
"And so we do," he promised as he leaned in and properly kissed you, "I love you."
Without thinking, you hopped onto the counter and wrapped your legs around his waist before wrapping your arms around his neck. His large, warm hands slowly worked their way from your waist to up and under your shirt, as he skimmed your soft skin.
Your soft kisses quickly turned into hungry, needy ones as you pulled off his glasses and tossed them aside. Marcus went from your lips to your jaw before working his way down your neck, biting and sucking at the delicate skin.
"Marcus," you almost moaned his name as you pressed yourself against the hardness you could already feel in his jeans, "this is a communal space. Keep it clean."
"Don't want to," he huffed with laughter as his hand moved to the button of your jeans and he quickly undid the fly. He lifted you up briefly as he pulled down your jeans and underwear as you reached for his jeans to repeat the process. 
Your mouths almost never parted, except for the soft giggles that flowed as you felt more like naughty schoolchildren that could be caught at any second, rather than grown adults.
"Marcus - the food," you suddenly remembered. He shook his head as you paused for a moment.
"Its all off," he promised while cupping your breasts in his hands, earning a delighted moan from you, "it can all wait. Dessert first."
"Then take me," you tugged down just jeans and boxers, pushing them down as he wasted no time in lining himself up at your entrance and slowly pushing in. When he bottomed out, you both groaned in between kisses as he gave you a moment to adjust. 
Then there was no rush, and he started to move languidly, setting a gentle pace as he kept on kissing you. It was sweet, sex with Marcus was always something you thoroughly enjoyed, especially times like this. It was so intimate, so loving, it was everything and all consuming at once.
"'m not gonna last," he whispered as he left a trail of fiery kisses along your jaw. You nodded in agreement as you held him close, trying to memorize every touch, every feel.
"'s okay, honey," you promised as you guided him back to your lips, "come with me, please. I love you Marcus, I love you so much."
That was all it took to get him to reach his peak as your walls hugged him and you both came with small moans. Marcus held you tightly as you tried to catch your breath and he stayed buried inside you, peppering you in the most saccharine of kisses, "I love you too. More than you will ever know."

Masterlist
---
You looked over at the clock- 8:30. “Fucking shit.” 
Derek chuckled beside at his desk beside you, “you just realise the time sweetheart?” not even looking up from his report. 
You scoffed at his mocking tone, “whatever” bitterly you shot him a glare and stood up. ugh god, you haven’t stood up like 3 hours, internally whining you get up to get even more coffee.
“Oh! Hello, there my beauty!” the one and only, sunflower of a woman; Penelope Garcia, with a bright smile on her face despite being still being here at 8:30. She wrapped her arm around you into a tight side-hug as the two of you walked into the break room, smiling, because how could you not smile with someone like Penelope around. You rest your head on her shoulder letting yourself relax into her warm hug.
“Pennnny, why is there so much work?” you look up at her from your spot on her shoulder and give her your puppy dog face.
“Oh baby, I don’t know” she smooths down your hair, something you absolutely adore. Unsatisfied with her answer you sigh and fill your cup to the brim and take a very long sip. “Ooo! I know” you raise your eyebrows amused at her sudden outburst, “we are going drinking tonight!” 
You considered it a moment, it was Friday, you did just get back from a case yesterday, and you have been doing paperwork-all day… “Okay! I’m in!”
“Eeeeek! Okay, let’s go tell every else their Friday night plans!” 
You grab her hand and run out to the bullpen, yes your team was the only one left in the building-Again. No! No bad thoughts, only thoughts of drinking! “Alright, everyone!” you and Pen glance at each other smirking before turning back to the team whose attention you have now grabbed. “Penelope and I have decided what we are all doing tonight,” you say playfully but firmly.
“And what’s that sweetheart?” 
You direct your attention to Morgan as Rossi comes out of his office, “We are going drinking.”  
Derek smirks “Hell. Yes.” 
Penelope claps her hands and squeals  “Yes! Okay who else is in?” excitedly you both look around the room. 
“Well, I sure as hell am.” 
“Yay! Okay, we got Derek, Emily, who else, JJ?”
She considered it for a second while you started at her with an eyebrow cocked. “Okay okay, I’ll come.” 
Doing a 180 looking above the bullpen at Rossi, “how about you? And before you answer just know, there are no adults allowed.”
“Ya only stressed out sexy workaholic FBI agents that are going to act like teenagers all night”
Laughing you look back at Rossi, “Sorry kiddos, not tonight.”
“What? You’re seriously not coming?” Penny said in the saddest voice 
“Dave, come on, I was just kidding, pleassse.” you give another puppy face. 
“Sorry Bella, not tonight” sending you a smile before going back to his office.
Shaking it off you look at Spencer who is the last to answer in the vicinity, “and you?”
“Umm….I-” he looks like he’s about to say no when Derek claps his shoulder,
“Pretty boy’s in!” 
Spencer looked around at the team, “um, okay I guess I’ll come.”
“Okay everyone finish your last report and then we gettin our party on!”
“Alright, will do babygirl.”
Everyone turned back to their work while you climbed the stairs, knocking on the door and opening it, “Hey!” Aaron smiled at you and stood up as you closed the door behind you, and with the blinds already closed you put your arms around your boyfriend’s neck and pulls him in for a kiss, 
“hmmm” comes from both of you as you pull apart smiling. The team definitely knew about your relationship with your boss to some degree but the two of you hadn’t slipped up so no one has caught you-yet. Some of the team, more confrontational than others will give you looks, snide comments, but they don’t know anything. And you guys aren’t keeping it from the team, you’re just, riding the wave while it lasts. “So did you hear the plan?” playing with his hair at the base of his head. 
“Plan?” 
“mhmm, we’re all going for drinks,- minus Rossi.” he gave you a pointed look at that last part. 
“Is that why I heard Emily yell something about ‘sexy workaholic FBI agents’” 
You drop your head on his shoulder, shake your head and laugh, “Um...yes?” 
“Ya, I think I’ll pass.”
“Babe, come on, it’ll be fuunnnn.” 
“Mhmm, no”  
You went on your tippy-toes, moving closer and closer to his lips, whispering, “pretty please” 
He closed the gap between your lips softly, but deeply “no.” 
You dropped down and gave him a slight glare, which he smiled at. He kissed you again and went back to his desk, “if you’re not coming, you’re definitely not staying here all night.”
Sitting down at his desk, “I’m not, I’m simply waiting on the last of the reports, if a certain agent would hurry up and finish hers…” 
“Alright alright, I’m going,” walking over to his chair, “seriously don’t stay too late alright?” 
“Alright.” kissing him one last time, “I’ll see you tomorrow?”
“Of course.” smiling before making your way to the door, 
“Hey,” you turn towards him at the loving sound of his voice, “be safe?” 
“I will. I love you”
“I love you too” 
-
You return to your desk hoping you can finish your last report quickly and get out of here, “Hey, sweetheart,” 
“Yes Morgan?” replying sightly animated.
“Anything fun happen in there?” 
“No.” you glare, “I asked him if he was coming; he’s not.”
“Mhmm, sure.” turning back to his work and you do the same. 
-
“We got shots!” 
“Hell ya!” 
“Gimme gimme gimmie!” 
“Patience babygirl” 
“No.” penny grabs a shot and take it while the rest of you laugh, “woo!” 
“Alright our turn!” 
You all let loose enjoying some fun and each other’s company. Your look at the people around you, yesterday you had guns and people’s lives in your hands, right now, you were all smiling, enjoying yourselves and life to the fullest, you couldn’t ask for better people to do it with. 
-
It’s so loud in the bar and you’re all laughing so much you barely hear your phone ring, seeing it’s Aaron calling you is a little worrying, “Sorry, I’ll be back in a sec.” everyone looked around suspiciously but didn’t say anything. “Aaron?” walking outside,
“Hi Y/N!” 
A little taken back, especially with the alcohol in your system, “Jack?” 
“Hiiiiiii Y/NNNNNN” 
“What are you still doing up mister?” 
“Well daddy said since it’s Friday I can stay up so we watched a movie”
“Oh ya what movie did you watch?” 
“Well first we watched frozen and then we watched spiderman!” 
You laughed, you’ve watched each of those movies with him at least three times yourself, “that sounds fun, did you have popcorn?” 
“YA!” 
Oh my god isn’t he just the cutest fucking thing? you think your heart actually melts at his cuteness “So where’s your dad now?” remembering he’s calling from his dad’s phone, 
“Ummmmmmm….” 
“Jack?” 
Jack whispering, as if he wasn’t just yelling a few seconds ago, “he said its bedtime,” even quieter, “so I’m hiding”
You cover your mouth with your hand trying your very best not to laugh, composing your self, “well Jack that’s not very good of you” 
“Ya… but I don’t wanna go to bed” 
At that, you let a little laugh, “I know buddy… but what made you took your dad’s phone?” 
“I wanted to call you” 
You paused you were a little taken back, “and why is that?” 
“I don’t know, I like you, and my daddy likes you too!” 
That makes you smile, “well, I’m glad you both like me-” you were cut off by a gasp from Jack “Jack, you okay?” 
He whispered into the phone, “he found me.” and yet again having to put your hand over your mouth to stop from laughing, “I have to go” in a very rushed voice, “I love you.”
Your mind went blank for a split second, he had never actually said that to you, “I love you too” 
“Jack who are you-”
“Goodnight-” and the line cut off
Sitting down, your minds a little fuzzy and it’s not from the alcohol. A minute or two later your phone starts ringing again, “hey Aar,” you said, still smiling, you also expected this call. 
“Hey baby, sorry about that, um, what exactly was that?” 
You both laugh a little, “well apparently daddy was making him go to bed, so naturally he stole your phone, hid and called me.” 
“Naturally, sorry about that I know you’re out.”
“Oh don’t be he’s cute... he said he loved me”
“I know”
“I like that”
“Me too”
You both sat there smiling for a few seconds, what did you do to get such a perfect life? “alright I got to go, have fun, be safe, call me when you get home?”
“I will, love you.”
“Love you” 
-
“Hey sorry” you came back to the table smiling, which everyone was suspicious of but oh well, what are you going to do, I came here for a good time and I’m going to have one! 
“Who was that?” 
“Oh no one, what are we talking about?” picking up your drink.
“Actually we were just talking about how 27% of women in the US have slept with their boss.” immediately you choked on your drink and quickly trying to recover, but the damage was done
God fucking damn it Reid! Seriously you just had to throw me under the bus like that? 
You shot him a nasty glare, “ that was not what you were talking about.” 
“Nope, you’re right it wasn’t.”
That bastard is smiling 
Everyone is killing themselves, and you? You just down your drink, “Anyone want another?” 
Leaning against the bar you shake your head, out of all the people I did not expect REID to call me out. 
“Hey, sweet thang” you drop your head, 
“Derek.” you acknowledge him
“I gotta say I’m surprised, I really am, I didn’t expect Reid to be the one to call you out.”
You laugh, “Ya, Neither Did I.”  
“Soooo, you admit it?” Derek said, very amused 
“I have said nothing.” 
“Come onnnn, say it.”
“We should really get back to the table,” already halfway there.
“Oh come it’s not going to be better over there!” he’s not wrong 
“Y/N!”
“Oh, my sweet Penelope how are you?”
“NoNoNo you’re not getting out of this!” grabbing your arm
“Pen that’s my arm!”
“Y/N you have to tell us!”
“Emily’s right”
“Come on JJ you too, can’t someone be on my side.” 
“Absolutely not!”
“Soooo how long have you been together?”
Shit you look at the people around you, there’s no way out of this, “fine!” a stream of yeses and shrieks courtesy of Penny, “we’ve-” SHIT “we’ve been together, 6 months”
“6 months!”
“No fucking way!”
“Oh my god! How couldn’t have you told us!”
“Were you just on the phone with him?”
“Do you guys sneak into each other’s hotel rooms?”
You were doing so much drinking tonight. 
-
Somehow you made it home safely, but you were pretty drunk, I mean what did you expect 
When you woke up you saw 3 missed calls from Aaron and 3 text messages, ya you were a little drunk last night. After you’ve been awake for a whole 45 seconds you call Aaron, “Hey! Are you okay? you never called me back last night”
“Ugh” 
“Baby?”
“Shhhhhhh” 
“Alright I get it, I’ll be at your place in 30, with coffee” 
“Yessssss”  
-
And a half an hour later he showed up, with coffee as promised, using the key you gave him to let himself in, as you were not getting out of bed. “Hey,” in a hushed tone. 
“Hi” you smiled at him, you were still a little sleepy and probably hungover, he put the drinks on the table and you pulled him into your bed, he chuckled but laid down and you put your head on his chest, “mhmm” he’s so warm 
“Tired?” 
“Ya” 
“How late did you stay out?”
“I don’t know”
“You don’t know?”
You shock your head into his chest “uh-uh.” you laid there comfortably for a few minutes, you immensely enjoying the warmth and happiness that your boyfriend brings you, “soooo I got cornered last night”
“Cornered?” 
“Mhmm, about us, after our call I went back to the table and they called me out.”
“Oh really?” he was chuckling not only that it had happened but in the cute, sleepy manner of which you mentioned it, “actually, I didn’t think they would, figured they were just waiting for us to slip.”
You scoffed, “ya so did I. you’ll never guess who called me on it tho.”
“Oh?”
“Reid.”
“Seriously,” see it’s not just me that didn’t expect it to be Reid of all people, “I mean I thought Morgan or Prentiss but Reid?”
“Ya, I got caught a little off guard.” Aaron laughed “Hey!” you swatted his arm “don’t laugh! It’s not funny!” 
“Never.” he kissed the top of your head and started playing with your hair, you spent the next few hours lying, sitting, drinking, talking, the perfect morning, after a perfect night, with the perfect man, and the best friends anyone could ask for.

♫ Surfing on a soundwave, Swinging through the stars, Take a left at your intestine, Take your second right past mars!
On the Magic School smelly space bus! ♫
SPOILERS for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #2!
This is a comic where, the longer I sit with a particular issue, the more I’m like, ‘yeah. Yeah. YEAH.’
It’s dense in a way that invites the reader to go through it multiple times, and rewards additional readthroughs.
Also, it helps that the art is FREAKING AMAZING.
Seriously. Evely and Lopes should draw and color everything, forever, always.
(I will honestly be shocked if they don’t get an Eisner nom for this book.)
Anyways, all of this to say: Another issue that I enjoyed. It has one of the most genuinely sweet Supergirl moments I’ve seen in the comics in a good long while.
So, if you’re looking for a quick thumbs up/thumbs down rating, thumbs up!
If you’d like some SPECIFICS, though...
THE STORY
King is an evil genius because we don’t pick up where we left off--rather, we start in the midst of the Space Bus journey.
There is technically a Big Action Scene, but I was honestly surprised by how...casually? the story progressed.
Essentially: Kara and Ruthye are forced to travel by bus because 1.) Krem stole Kara’s rocket and 2.) this corner of the universe doesn’t have the right stars, so Kara’s still recovering from being under a red sun for an extended period of time.
The bus makes occasional stops; they encounter a space dragon; Kara takes some Red Kryptonite and saves the day; they eventually arrive on a planet with a yellow sun. 
And again, all of this occurs with a kind of...breezy ease that I was not expecting at all.
I assumed that the space dragon fight would make up the final moments of the issue, after having built up the problem to a point where Kara needed to intervene.
But, noooope. The space dragon happens somewhere in the middle, which helps sell the central idea that this is simply Kara’s life. She’s been there, done that. She’s a badass who takes it all in stride.
But! Important to note! Ruthye still marvels at the sight of Kara taking out the space dragon, as well she should, because:
OH MY GOD. THE aRT.
There’s only so many times I can say, ‘it’s phenomenal, it’s gorgeous, it’s stunning’ before sounding like a broken record.
But it is. It truly is. This is the prettiest monthly book on the stands right now.
(Realizing I’ve been spelling Ruthye wrong this entire time, maybe? IDK. Apologies if I have.)
It’s in the final moments of the book that we learn what transpired after Krem shot Kara and Krypto and fled: Kara managed to get Krypto and Ruthye to a healer, and then passed out for a week. 
Ruthye and Kara recovered, buuuuut...
Krypto is still very near death because the arrow was poisoned.
The healer can’t treat him until he has a sample of the poison.
Which Krem has.
(See where this is going?)
So! Kara regains her powers! Ruthye has a super on her side! KRYPTO’S LIFE HANGS IN THE BALANCE!
Gimme. Issue. 3. STAT.
THE CHARACTERS
Very much enjoyed Ruthye in this issue!
There’s a really tricky balancing act you gotta pull off when writing child characters; you don’t want to just write them as tiny adults, but you also don’t want to be obnoxious or cloying in trying to write ‘true-to-age.’
King gives himself a bit of a cheat, by setting her up as a rock farmer from a...what would you call it. An old-fashioned planet? And thus the kind of character who had to ‘grow up fast’ and behaves more maturely than your typical pre-teen might.
BUT! IMPORTANTLY! This is tempered by placing Ruthye in situations where her (understandable) ignorance is challenged/put to the test. Like, yes, she is mature, and well-spoken, and utterly tenacious, but she’s also out of her depth, and still in need of help and guidance.
(Which is how we get to The Best Scene which I’ll get to in just a sec.)
TL;DR - this issue has really sold me on Ruthye as our POV character and I am officially Invested in the relationship between her and Kara.
Speaking of...
It’s KARA-CTERIZATION TIME!
So, okay. There’s some ‘eh’ stuff in this one, but, BUT!
We got the goods again.
And by ‘goods’ I mean this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whatever other nitpicks I have (and I do! Have one! Which I’ll get to!) THIS. This right here! This is Supergirl. This is Kara.
And what a beautiful line to introduce this moment:
“And it began--as most things begin when you’re dealing with Supergirl--with a moment of kindness.”
It’s the same gentle concern we saw in the previous issue, where Kara knelt down to address Ruthye eye-to-eye. 
Here, Kara’s facial expression, and the way she takes Ruthye’s hands and shows her what to do...
It’s just. SO SWEET.
Ahhhhh it’s so good. :D
So good! In fact! That the above scene offsets my one complaint, which is that Kara came off as harsh, IMO, when addressing the bus passengers, looking for Red K. 
Other good stuff from this particular portion of the book: we get Kryptonese (maybe? I think?) And a mention of Kara’s mother being strict about certain things, which is in keeping with the 2000s series version of Alura.
Ruthye also asks if Kara ever tried to avenge the death of her family/culture and she says no; Ruthye says that she heard a lifetime of regret in Kara’s response, which I suppose could be read one of two ways:
1.) That she regrets her choice not to avenge them, or 2.) that she regrets not having the option to avenge them, as there was no one person to punch, no single action that could rectify the destruction of the entire planet.
I personally prefer the second reading.
Which I suppose contradicts the recent-ish “Killers of Krypton” arc, but who knows what is and isn’t canon anymore, honestly. XD
As for the rest of the issue! I found myself thinking of a Grant Morrison interview, actually.
Morrison apparently met a Superman cosplayer at a con and that’s when the character clicked for them: “[The superman cosplayer] was so in the character, but what really got me was the way he was sitting. It was this absolutely relaxed pose with one knee up and the arm bent over, and that’s what broke Superman for me. Suddenly I realized that Superman wouldn’t be a poser, he wouldn’t be a Muscle Beach steroid guy; he’d actually be completely relaxed because nothing could hurt him. He could be so open and friendly to everyone because no one can punch him or hurt him. He can’t get a cold, or be damaged by anything you’re carrying or wearing. For me that was the power of that, whether you want to frame it as magical or not, it actually informed the stories I wanted to write. I felt I understood him in a way I hadn’t until that moment.”
That’s always stuck with me, the idea that Clark would be the most at-ease, chill guy you'd ever talk to.
And THAT, I think, is what we’re seeing here with Kara. That at-ease-ness.
But in a way that is distinct from Clark! In the above quote, it’s clear that Morrison thinks it’s Clark’s powers that are the reason he can be so relaxed and at ease.
But Kara is de-powered here. So why is she so chill?
Because Kara is an alien.
Kara’s in her element, here. She’s used to space travel, she knows the ins-and-outs, she’s not shocked by any of the weird stuff they encounter on their journey. 
Love it. LOVE. IT.
I am SO GLAD that King decided to go with Kara being the wizened mentor, as opposed to the naïve kid learning to be tough. It’s a much more interesting angle, IMO.
Also NO MENTION OF RIVALRY BETWEEN KARA AND CLARK. WOO. LET’S KEEP THIS ROLLIN’.
Alright, last, but certainly not least:
THE GOOD BOY! KRYPTO!
When I tell you I stress-read this entire comic first thing in the morning...XD
And I am STILL stressed. And a little sad that Krypto doesn’t get to go on another space adventure but! This is MIGHTY PREFERABLE to what I *thought* was going to happen, which is that Krypto would die from his injuries, and Kara would likewise be out for revenge. 
Fortunately, that is not the case! 
So like, the stakes?!?! Suddenly sky high. Find that dirtbag Krem and GET THAT POISON BACK TO THE HEALER!!
ART and MISC. STUFF THAT I LOVE
I generally don’t like to post entire pages of a comic, or panels without context, but the...reach? of this blog is extremely limited so. I think we’ll be okay. XD
So, alright! Some moments that I particularly enjoyed!
Tumblr media
One of the panels that Mat Lopes shared early on! 
I want this lettered version on a mug.
(Also she looks very ’Grace Kelly-ish’ here.)
Tumblr media
Love Kara’s facial expression and her line about space travel being more fun when you can fly.
Tumblr media
From the same portion of the book--such a neat detail that Kara keeps her cash in her sleeve!
Tumblr media
Another set of panels that I think Tom King shared a few months back.
Love Kara’s little smirk, and the, “I’m wearing a big yellow S on my chest, and a very fashionable red skirt.”
It IS fashionable. WE SUPPORT THE SKIRT, IN THIS HOUSE.
Also the slrrrrrrp. XD
It’s good.
Tumblr media
Okay, 1.) VERY COOL SCI-FI DESIGN and 2.) that line is great. “Can you feel it, Ruthye? We’re getting closer. The stars are changing.”
Mmmm, them good cosmic Kara vibes.
Tumblr media
Kara’s attitude about the Red K here is fun, like, ‘WELP, sometimes you turn into a monster, sometimes you don’t!’ but again, the line is what gets me.
“Did my hair move?”
“I do not believe so.”
XD
Honestly? I could post the whole comic here. Evely’s vision of ‘public transit, but space’ is just so immediately...not ‘real’, necessarily, because there’s such a fantastical element to it all, but it is fully realized. I think I used the phrase ‘lived-in’ and that’s it--this world feels like it has always existed; every grimy nook and cranny, every rando space bus traveler.
And Mat Lopes’ colors!
There are like, five distinct color palettes at work in this issue, and Lopes handles them all masterfully.
I think my favorite is the...I’ll call it ‘ethereal space aquarium’ lighting in the bus as they view the space dragon.
The glow and the shadows and the blues and pinks...
GGGGGGGGAAAHHHHHHHHHH so goooooooood
So, yeah. :D
I am very much enjoying this weird, wild ride with small, precocious Ruthye and wizened, crusty Kara. XD There’s some stuff that I don’t *love* but my goodness, it could be a lot worse!
Let us end on the beautiful title page:

The Greater Good
Carrying the shield isn’t an easy job; it often requires a great deal of sacrifice, and that can be difficult for Bucky to come to terms with. 
Based on the “Where’s my supersuit?” scene from The Incredibles.
This is an entry for @star-spangled-bingo​​ 2020. Word count: 2044. Square filled: “Free Space”
Pairing: Sam Wilson x Bucky Barnes
Warnings: Mentions of injury, wounds, blood. Mentions of drinking alcohol. Mild angst, slight separation anxiety.
A/N: Idk what to say, y’all. I wish I had the decency to apologize for writing a fic I’ll probably regret posting instead of working on my WIPs, one of which is on hiatus bc I’m a lazy jerk, but such is life. Blame The Incredibles (which I’ve never seen -- I’m not sorry) and @samingtonwilson 's anon. Also, while you're there, go check out Taal's masterlist because she's an incredibly (pun intended) talented, amazing, fantastic writer and every. single. one. of her stories is a must-read.
Tumblr media
Honeysuckle and mango, the scented candles on each bedside table flicker in the light breeze drifting through the open window, a sea of dark ink dotted with stars visible beyond. Late summer is cooling into autumn, and the leaves of the tree that shades their bedroom on hot days is slowly turning into an early shade of yellow-orange, that glints in the glow of streetlights to remind Bucky of the specks of gold that set Sam’s eyes alight like a September sunset. It’s been two weeks since Bucky’s seen those eyes, two weeks he's been awake before dawn with more worry than he knows how to run off.
He’s due back today, his husband, after a fortnight of radio silence thanks to a stake-out in the Canadian wilderness, in wait for a lucrative arms deal to occur, and for the team of Avengers to prevent. The mission had been called a day after Bucky broke -- no, shattered -- his arm during a drug bust in California, thereby disqualifying him from participation, and sentencing him to this torturous wait. A wait that has now, finally, come to an end. Almost. 
Bucky lets out a quiet sigh on his way back to the kitchen. Placing a second plate of homemade ravioli and the necessary utensils on a tray table, he returns to the bedroom, putting his food next to where Sam’s waits patiently. Wrings both hands, one made of metal, and the other with a cast on it. Any minute now, he thinks, pulling out the first aid kit from under the bed and putting it on the dresser, ready to use under the bright glow of the lamp next to it. The room is filled with soft light, the smell of pasta, and the ache of Bucky’s heart as he tries to quell the unreasonable nerves that tug at his diaphragm.
Nearly a year of falling asleep with the feel of Sam’s wedding band under the stroking of his thumb, nearly two of being intimately familiar with the texture of his lips, and nearly three of being perfect partners in combat and good friends out of it, yet Sam still makes him nervous. A good nervous, the flutter of nerves in his belly, Bucky determines as he paces the hallway, stopping in front of the mirror to push his hair back. Maybe he’ll ask Sam to cut it tomorrow, once he’s recovered. From his wounds and Bucky’s... affections.
The thought has only just crossed Bucky’s mind when the tap of boots alerts him to someone’s presence at the door. Keys jingle, but he’s too quick, already unlocking the door and throwing it open as Sam lifts his hand to the lock, where it, and the rest of him, freezes at the sight of Bucky, cheeks dusted with a rosy pink already. 
Words stay unspoken, and the sentiment of longing, of unimaginable relief is transferred directly from Bucky’s mouth to Sam’s. His metal arm rises to grip Sam’s suit-clad waist, and Sam’s gloved hands cradle Bucky’s head gently, so at odds with the pressure with which he seeks to draw forth pleasure. Soon, the kiss turns to open mouths, just resting over each other, elevated breaths colliding in the margin of air between them. Bucky breaks away with a sigh, arms around Sam, and forehead against his, eyes closed.
“I missed you, too, Bucky.” Sam smiles, split lip rasping over over Bucky’s, and he pulls back to look at him. Keeps ahold of his hand as he leads him to their room -- taking note of his limp -- and silently begins to peel the suit off his husband’s tired, burdened shoulders. Sam’s sees the trays on the bed and raises an eyebrow at him in question, but Bucky’s spotted the gauze covering the lower left side of his ribs.
“You were shot,” Bucky says lowly, kneeling, and bringing the first aid kit with him to the floor, unfortunately too used to this sort of thing to really be fazed by it. Besides, he doesn’t want to waste any time chewing Sam out for getting hurt, not when he can be sitting next to him with good food and even better laughter, something sorely needed after ages of quiet. He’ll allow the delay in those plans for their evening just enough to redress the wound that has started to bleed through the bandages.
Sam shrugs with the confident nonchalance of someone who knows he isn’t getting told off. “It happens,” he says with a grin. “What’s with dinner in bed?”
“Thought you’d be more comfortable,” Bucky answers. “And we can get down to business quicker,” he quips, ignoring the scoff elicited, as they’re both well aware that Sam’s in no condition for such at the moment.
While Bucky starts cleaning the blood that has seeped out through his staples, Sam takes off the light chain that carries his wedding band, and puts the ring back in its rightful place, on his fourth finger. By the time he’s reached for a shirt in the dresser next to him, Bucky’s done, and he stands so Sam can lean on him while he puts on his favorite pair of sweatpants.
“Hurry up, old man, the food’s goin’ cold and I worked real hard on it,” Bucky says, getting Sam settled in so he’s leaning on the pillows against the headboard, and pours him wine. 
Sam’s eyes widen, shocked. “Old? You’re one to talk.”
“At least I can walk straight,” Bucky retorts, and Sam gestures towards his stomach.
“I was shot.”
“And whose fault is that?” Bucky jokes, and Sam’s mouth snaps shut, his shoulders shudder to contain the building amusement, until they both burst into laughter. Bucky watches Sam’s eyes scrunch tightly shut as he laughs, and he lets the sound spill into his soul like an essence of life. It’s been a while since he heard it, and it sounds just as sweet, as effulgent, as he recalls. 
Recovering from the outburst, Sam breathes slowly, trying not to laugh again. “Okay, alright, I’m sorry. You’re not old, you’re just--” he bites his lip, and Bucky tries not to wince in anticipation of the wound on his lip reopening. “-- mature.” He smirks at him, and Bucky rolls his eyes, putting another piece of ravioli in his mouth. The room goes quiet, and they relish the food and each other’s company. Bucky drinks in the content, relaxed features of Sam’s face. He’s radiating goodness, and that energy that can only be described as unapologetically Sam. 
The golden, shining bubble of a moment is burst by Sam’s phone ringing outside, from the chest of drawers in the entrance, and Sam gives him a look, before going to retrieve it. Bucky recognizes the Captain-voice Sam’s using on the phone, making the gears start to turn in his head, a process that results in him going to pick up the shield lying next to the bed, and hiding it behind their tuxedos, the ones they wore to their wedding, in the closet. Luckily for him, Sam’s call ends just as he’s gotten back to bed, half-eaten plate of pasta in front of him like he never moved.
Bucky’s gut instinct was right. Nobody could have any reason for calling Sam at this hour with the exception of Nick Fury. “Robbery on 9th ave. They’re using Chitauri energy cores,” he says, pulling off the loungewear and putting the suit back on. Zip, boots, gloves, and then--
“Where’s my shield?” He asks, turning to look around the room. “I put it right here.” Sam looks at Bucky and he averts his gaze.
“I don’t know,” he says, entirely unconvincingly, and Sam clenches his jaw in understanding, putting his hands on his hips in wait.
“Bucky.”
Bucky traces the gold veins running along his metal arm. “What?”
“I need my shield,” Sam says softly, stepping forward.
“Why?” It’s Bucky’s turn to put his hands on his hips, and Sam throws his in the air in frustration. Bucky tries to avoid thinking about the veins that protrude along his neck at the movement. This is not the time, Barnes, focus. 
“Why? What do you mean, why?”
“Ask them to send someone else! I've been waiting to see you for two weeks. You can't just leave again.” But Sam’s already on his way to the closet, rummaging, searching first through an unhealthy amount of running shoes -- Bucky’s new vice -- and then his outrageous collection of compression t-shirts. 
“The public is in danger, Bucky,” he says, voice muffled from the closet. 
"My evening is in danger," he replies, crosses his arms and leans in the doorway. 
“Come on, man. I have to go. For the greater good and all.” He looks up from the underwear drawer to send a pleading expression Bucky’s way, and Bucky fixes his glare on a spot on the wall above Sam’s head. Aims his next words at that spot, too.
"”I'm your husband. I'm the greatest good you're ever going to get,” Bucky responds sharply, but Sam continues searching, and soon, Bucky drops the act. “You're injured, Sammy. You're not well enough to go,” he says, pushing off where he’s leaning and stepping forward. Somehow, he lets his arms uncross and clench slowly at his sides, fists that he works to reopen, feeling the stretch of tendons accompany the strain in his voice. Sam helps, taking a hand in each of his, thumb sliding over the base of each of his fingers. The knuckles of his broken arm are covered in plaster, and the metal one whirrs, almost purring. 
“Bucky, look,” Sam says, voice so quiet it’s like he’s relaying a secret in a crowded room, rather than an explanation in an empty one. “I know it's hard, and I'm sorry, but you know that this is what the job takes.” Bucky watches Sam press his mouth thinly together, tries to ignore the logic he knows is present in his partner’s words, but Bucky was never one for ignorant bliss. He’s making an ineffectual effort to suppress the natural conscious that’s telling him to send Sam off, and it isn’t sustainable. “I'll be back before you know it.” Sam’s smooth, low timbre pierces the conflict Bucky is striving to resolve, and the turmoil, the unreasonable bid to restrain Sam from leaving settles like dust after a sandstorm.
Sam’s hands tighten around Bucky’s and he can feel the pulse in them, in the safe, warm skin the touch of which is his home, the surface that brings him back to Earth no matter where his head is going. However, now, Bucky lets go, and retrieves Sam shield. Gives it to him without another word, and accepts the grateful nod of thanks.
He’s almost to the door, Bucky trailing a few steps behind -- resolutely brushing aside the analogy of lost puppies -- when he stops and turns. Gives Bucky a look that would be abstruse if not for years of conversation, of moments that enable Bucky to tell that Sam’s frown, the shine of his eyes, that anxious hand running along the edge of his shield, means only that he’s reluctant. Bucky’s hunch is proven right when Sam comes forward to stand toe-to-toe with him, eyes locked on his.
“Thank you. I’ll be home soon,” he says, leaning to place a kiss on his forehead. Just a touch, a whisper of reassuring force, before he’s moving away again, eye contact only broken when he leaves the threshold of their house, stepping outside.
Bucky holds the back door and watches him deploy his wings. Sam traces a flight path on his arm panel as Bucky looks on, watching the lights shine on his skin like shimmering topaz, beautiful, glowing, alive, and prays that he’ll return to him that way. Again. 
Once he’s done reading mission details and ready to go, Sam looks up again, eyes dancing with mirth and adoration, the former of which he voices in a joke that is meant to disguise his concern for Bucky, even though he’s the one leaving for battle. “Don’t wait up for me. You need your rest, grandpa,” Sam calls, laughter trembling in his throat, taking off in a flash of red, white, and blue.

Ikemen Genjiden ‘Sweet Drunk tonight’ story event- Yoshitsune route summary
Tumblr media
P.S: MC and Yoshitsune haven’t fallen in love yet....this event is before Yoshitsune’s main story.
Story starts by showing an open field where MC, I think she is resting, IDK. Anyways, she was on a three-day workshop with another doctor, so she could learn about some rare medicine or something. It was Yoritomo's suggestion to do so. Yoritomo also asked her if she needed a guard to be by her side, to 'protect' her. But she refused the offer. She was thinking of what gift she should buy for him when she returns, when she heard some footsteps behind her. Several men came towards her and starts to bully her. Actually they were trying to take her somewhere so they could assault her. MC tried to find someone who could help when suddenly they hear a voice saying them to get out of the way. When they all look at the direction from which the voice came, it was Yoshitsune. Those men tried to challenge Yoshitsune but he gave a threatening glare which was enough for those men to run away.
After those men ran away, Yoshitsune and MC looks at each other. MC starts to remember some scenes in the prologue when she first met Yoshitsune. She starts to think that since she is a threat to him because she made a contract with an ayakashi, he might kill her. Yoshitsune still kept his hand on his sword and kept looking at her without saying anything. Then they hear someone calling out to them. Yoshitsune thought there were more of those men and clutched his sword, but it was the villagers. The villagers told them that they saw what happened and that those men were actually thieves who always causes problems in their village. They asked both Yoshitsune and MC if they are staying here in the village for the night. Yoshitsune looks up and realizes that it's going to be night soon and then looked at MC. He tells her that he is going to rent a room for the night and orders her to come with him. MC was about to reject the offer thinking that his plan will be to kill her once they enter the room, but Yoshitsune quickly cut her off saying that he wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. MC was tries hard to think what was going on in his mind since she can't read his face but eventually agrees because she has no other choice.
Once they both entered their room, MC was scared and sat far away from him. He asks her what she was doing here in this village and tells her not to lie. MC didn’t have a reason to lie so she just told the truth. After hearing her story, Yoshitsune settles down saying that he will not kill her today. MC asks the same question back to him and he answers that he is here to use the hot springs. She asks if he is sick or anything and he replies that he has a wound to be recovered. Some samurais tried to attack Hiraizumi and he fought them, it was an injury from that time. Since he was the only one passing by then he fought them.MC asks him why didn’t he use his ayakhasi powers, because he can use his wind blades to kill all enemies at one go without even getting injured. Yoshitsune says that there were small number of people watching them so he didn’t want to disturb their work. Hearing his words, MC can clearly see how much the people of Hiraizumi means to him. Yoshitsune continues his story, where he says that those samurais were small in number so he finished their business quickly even before his vassals came for helping him. He also tells her that he didn’t realize he was injured because he didn’t feel the pain. MC asks if he was serious and Yoshitsune says that she sounds just like Benkei.  He tells her that it was not a big deal, and Benkei scolds him all the time. This hot springs trip was only to reassure Benkei. Even Yoichi told him that he could use some break. MC starts to understand his deep bond with his vassals and starts to think that he might not be scary according to what the other people say about him. 
Next she asks why she is brought here with him and he tells her that, those men have already seen MC’s face and there might be a chance that she will be attacked again if he left her alone. She asks why because they are enemies and he--
Y: “Because I’m planning to kill you on the battlefield. I have no intention of letting you die by the roadside today because of I incurred the hatred of men.”
Y: “we can sleep under the same roof. By tonight, I’ll be able to get rid of all my sins and get out of here.”
MC: “ are you.....going to kill those men tonight?”
Y: “Yes, I’ll find and destroy these men tonight.”
Out of curiosity she asks why he is putting himself in danger for a village that does not belong to him .
Y: “Those men’s fate is also brought about by his fate. Like you, the villagers may become embroiled in the scandal.” (basically he wants to say that, he wants to kill those men so no more problem like this happens anywhere)
Hearing his serious words and looking at his icy cold glare, MC couldn’t find out which is the real Yoshitsune. Whether he is the kind person that his people and vassals cherish or the cold blooded demon who is sitting in front of her.
MC: “ um, do you really have to kill them?”
Y:(0_0)” ........”
MC: “even if these men are criminals, there might be an another way. Like catching them alive and handing them over to the villagers.”
Y: “That’s not wise.Those men are guilty for a huge crime.”
MC: “but, what’s good in taking someone’s life? I will do everything I can to help you. So please, lets not kill them.”
Yoshitsune tells her not to be naive and not to take risk. But MC clutched her fists and looked straight at him saying that she is a doctor and as a doctor she can’t see people dying even if they are good or bad. And to why she is cooperating with Yoshitsune to catch those criminals is because, he saved her despite having an injury. After saying all this Yoshitsune’s reaction was like--
Y:(0_0)
MC after hearing the villager’s stories about what those men did to them, she really wanted to do something for the villagers. MC felt the temperature in the room starts to warm up and when she looked at Yoshitsune’s face, she could see that he didn’t have that icy glare now.
Y: “.....you do speak a lot, quite straightforward.”
Then he stood up and took his sword and looked down at her. He asks, since she decided to cooperate with him, if she is scared. MC told the truth that she is but tonight she decides to believe in Yoshitsune. They come up with a proper plan in how to catch them to take them by surprise. MC decides to take the role of bringing those men out in the open so Yoshitsune can attack them. Suddenly she felt a warm hand touching her cheeks. When she looks up--
Y: “ let’s fight together, MC.”
MC: “yes!”
Y: “You said you will believe me for the night, so I’ll protect you tonight no matter what. Even if we return to being enemies tomorrow.”
That night, MC and Yoshitsune got many info about those men from the villagers. The villagers were happy that they were helping them out. According to them, the reached the place were those men usually gather. MC found Yoshitsune in deep thought and questions him. He tells her that the villagers decided to reward them with wine as a gratitude for helping them out. Yoshitsune somehow feels funny about the thought of drinking with his enemy but before he could say something they reached the cabin where those men were hiding.
After finding them, things went according to their plan, where MC brought those men to the place where Yoshitsune told her to and those men didn’t see her face so they didn’t recognize it was MC. Yoshitsune defeats them and their hands and feet where tied. Yoshitsune ensures if MC is fine and she reassures him that she is. She could see a relief expression on his face. MC was happy that he kept his word about protecting her tonight and that raised the warm feeling inside her heart.
MC: “...you worked hard.”
Y:*smiles* “yeah, you too...”
Seeing a brief smile on his face for a second, she couldn’t help but her heart started to beat fasts.
Y: “I’m glad they are giving us alcohol.”
MC: “Why?”
Y:*smiles under the moonlight* “MC, I can talk to you bit more.”
Premium end:
Both of them return to their room where, the villagers give them their rewards- wine and some food. Those villagers thanked them once again for their help but Yoshitsune told them that they just did what they could. The villagers tells them to enjoy and leaves the room. Yoshitsune and MC were both surprised to see the food that they prepared, it was some new kind of dishes they haven’t seen before. Also the alcohol was special one because it was specially prepared by the villagers. Both of them poured liquor in each other’s glass. MC somehow feels this ‘pouring sake for the enemy’ thing awkward, and took a quick glance at Yoshitsune. Seeing his beautiful face and eye lashes lowered, she couldn’t help but admire how beautiful he looks. When she realized how much her heart was beating at that moment, she starts feeling nervous. However Yoshitsune started talking to break the awkwardness between them. He smiles,tells her not to be shy and its normal to pour sake for each other. She relaxes and they both started drinking the sake. While drinking the delicious sake, Yoshitsune tells her that he will be leaving tonight. MC, after hearing that, somehow felt lonely. Is because they joint hands together to defeat those men or something else, she don’t know.
MC: “Thank you again for today..”
Y: *smiles* “you don’t have to thank me.”
MC: “why?”
Y: “we fought together and they thanked you for it. That is more than enough for me.”
MC realizes that Yoshitsune is a type of person who likes to do things without anyone knowing and also doesn’t like to be thanked. MC couldn’t really figure out what was in his heart because his face completely lacks expression and his eyes were quite. MC realized that she was drunk and was staring at him.
MC: “I don’t know what to say....but I think you are a reckless person.”
Y: “how so?”
MC: “you don’t like to be hurt nor thanked. Its like you’re throwing yourself away like breathing.”
Y: “......”
Y: “this is how I live.”
MC starts to feel sad about what he is saying about himself. She got curious about what kind of lifestyle did he lived till now. He childhood and also his bond with Kurama, since he has known Yoshitsune for a long time.
Y: “why do you have that look?”
MC: “what look?”
Y:*comes closer* “you look sad.”
Yoshitsune’s face was so close enough for her to touch, but she instantly looked away. She starts to feel shy and moves away from him quickly.
Y: “why are you running? It gives me an animal instinct to chase you.”
MC: “animal? but Lord Yoshitsune....is a human right?”
Y: “Men can also be animals. If I say more.....even ayakashi is so.”
Y: “But sure humans sure are more complicated.”
Y:*sad face* “Even though they are the same race, they are divided into enemies and allies to kill and compete with each other.”
MC starts getting frustrated seeing his sad face and tells him to do something else than simply fighting. He says that he has nothing else to do other than fighting to his death, with an expressionless face. Then he smiles and tells her that he never say things like this to anyone else. MC realizes that he is again putting a lid on his feelings, and that she is not going to hear anymore from him. But she still tells him that he is a kind person according to her from looking at today’s events and she doesn’t want ‘sad things’ like this coming from his mouth. She tells him to value his life and not to throw away like its nothing. Yoshitsune gave a surprised look, with his beautiful round eyes wide open but then he smiles at her.
Y: “.....you’re beautiful”
He gently touches her cheeks.
Y: “I don’t why, but I want to touch you.”
And their sweet night starts which will be a secret only among them. Not to forget this story is before they released Yoshitsune’s story and the epilogue is full of fluff

MASTER LIST // Previous Chapter (1) 
Tagged: @weapinggwillowss​ @kittykatlow​ @alagalaska @deansblackbeauty
2 weeks later 
My fingers intertwined with his as he locks and kisses them. He doesn’t know I know but he a snuggle monster the reject monster from Sesame Street. Another secret I love it. We haven’t had much time as I will hope with one another. Even though he was back from the war he still was working as deputy while he was home. I pout like a two-year-old who got denied a brand new toy from a toy store. But we made it work. He moves me close as he whispers praise in my ear in his deep voice that makes me shiver a cool chill.
I only had 15 minutes left of my break with him. God how I miss him. After Janet left me teary-eyed in the abandoned hallway apart of me felt I was in old westerns like I was waiting for her around and draw her guy. That night he came over and hold me as I cried into his strong chest hands wrap as far as I could around his broad shoulders. Each night I founded my self there. Even if I was asleep he sneaks in and holds me. Letting me know he was never gonna leave me. 
He looks down into my eye out time coming to an end with a bit of sorrow regret. Hopping up so I can reach his face I pepper kiss him with each hop. Watching as his smile spread from ear to ear he loves when I did this be my silly tiny self. Knowing he always be my savior. His eyes were dark like midnight sky but were as bright as the sun. Others wouldn’t see this wouldn’t think he was more than a brick wall but he was more. Just like me more than meets the eye. Each day I’m happy god loves me to bring him to me. Bring me someone that made me feel things I never did before. 
“ I gotta go. I was only supposed to drop off another animal to you, baby “ He said in muffled from my lips. 
Lending back hold his hands close , “ Yeah but it was you who  wanted to start kissing me. I’m only here to basket it all this”.
This was been a familiar thing the last two weeks animals found dead somewhere or sick with some type of rabies. Blood from Mr. Fuzzy Bear only adds to the mystery. Blood work consists of an unfamiliar source. I went anymore I know and even the internet god the internet. After weeks of looking non stop trying to find anything to make me more at ease. NOTHING. I wanted to express this to KP but he only tells me to stop worrying.
“ BABY” KP tickle me under my underarms. I twitch and almost trip. “ I was talking and you did that moody thing you do. Is this Janet” he asked. YES NO I DONT KNOW I rub my forehead gently and peek up at him and nod.
I hate lying most importantly very bad at it. Even though he knew it was more he still allowed it to be, this time. 
“ I am taking you out. Show you off. Remind folks who you belong too. Which means I want you to be out this little head of yours. Janet she many things but all with reasoning. Give her time didn’t you say she nods at you other days” KP said. God his voice.
“ Your right probably PMS. Or something. Where we going” I asked looking down. I could hear my name-calling for me and some chaos.
“IAASC I KNOW HE SEXY EYE CANDY BUT GET YOUR ASS IN HERE-OW” Ethan scream out. I giggle and peck his cheek and ran off.
“ I CALL YOU ILY “ I shouted over my shoulder.
He ruffles his thick black hair across his hands as she smirks at me.
“ILY2” He said.
Everything was like walking into the war zone. Ethan was sitting on a chair holding her arm that was gushing blood out and Casey walking back and forth. I swipe up a rabies shot and quickly gave it to her and took her arms into my arms to looks at it. So much blood my arms got painted red. With a finger snap, Casey passes me the 1st aid kit as I dress the wound. Ethan was laughing all while. After thanking Casey ask sending her off for a break treating her like my child even though she was twice my age I gave the tickle me Ethan my attention.
“ You need to go to the hospital. That looks nothing like something seen before where the animal that did it” I asked looking around.
“ Killed it” She said like it was nothing. My eyebrow bent at this as I look her.
“ I need to call KP back he and sheriff can come over and help” I said pulling my phone out my pocket.
“Shit that fucker a bitch. I go okay I go I’m fine I go later. You did everything right by the way. It’s dead. We take it to the trash and that it” She said then look at me finally. I was a mess. To say the least. I bit the corner of my cheek till it bleeds and the iron the mint of him I was chewing on earlier.
Her eyes look glassy and she had a gentle sweat coming down her forehead. Didn’t it bit her not even a half-hour ago? I walk over and grab the bloody towels and help her up to sit down in her office under the AC. Closing the door I look hands it still had traces of her blood on it. I close my eyes and tried to relax. Taking deep breaths I went over to the sink and started to scrum till my hands were bright red from the friction.
“ Is she alright? “ Casey asks poking her head into the exam room. I peak over and back at my hands.
“ Yeah, she huh. Resting. Hey, what even happen that was so like the strange right” I said adding extra words to sound like I wasn’t just obsessing over it.
Casey pulled out a cigarette from her pocket and pluck it in her mouth getting ready to share something.
“ While you were outside smacking lips with Mr fuck for brains and takeout outside” she stops and looks at me.
“ I was upfront talking to Rachel about our lasted book club meeting. And she was talking about this new craze when one of the animals that came in just bounced up to life and start making sounds hissing and shit. Went sideways. The animal was acting all crazy like Bob does when he drank that moonshine and whiskey during October fair of 2003. Anyway, I rushed back and she was swinging at it with a paperweight” she said raking in another inhale of her cigarette. With a few coughs and tap, she looks around before talking some more.
“ You know a lot of shit been happening around here. I have been here all my life sadly and I would know. You know what it is huh?” She said putting her cigarette out with the bottom of her shoe. “ Damn Liberals. Probably put some damn glitter dusk on shit and made folks all crazy “She said as if it was a known fact. Did I not mention she a bit of a blowup doll racist. Try to explain to her just because I look Spanish doesn’t mean I am. Now she always says Ho Lay. Like that means something more than being a bitch. But she Casey and there no one like her.
“ You never know. So where is it now the animal ” I said drying my hands?
“ Out in the front. Sucker ugly mug tosses a blanket over it” Casey said nodding to the front. I nod and look around trying to let everything sit. Before she could walk off I without even thinking grab tight to her arm and pulled her into a hug. My hand ran up and down as I hold her tight.
“ Stay safe. Cas” I said. She chuckled and pat my back before going. I don’t know why I did it. Maybe a part of me knew something was gonna happen. That I was about to head down a steep drop something I will never be able to recover from.
The animal or what was left of it was like Casey said a mess. Scattered with its brains and head mushed. I poke it a few times before taking my pocket knife and stabbing it in the brain just in case. I wasn’t trying to live my life in a horror film. When I took the knife back out there was a strange goo mix with the blood. What the fuck I whisper to myself as I knee down and got closer to look. Just like I thought it was just like Mr. Fuzzy Bear. This was not a dog and this in on ways was a house pet. How strange how can two things so far from one another by going through the same thing. Can it be a generic trait from mammals? Or animals?
Ethan was quiet for the rest of the night. She didn’t move out of her office and when she did she was still sweating and shivering. I knew I promise KP not to worry but I couldn’t.
Me: Promise not to laugh but I have a question
Mi Amore: Haha what up sweetie
Me: Have there been any strange animal behavior or attacks? I know I’m coo-coo 😛😛
Mi Amore: 🤔 idk. Yeah, old man, Nick has been coming about some behavior. But that’s about it. Ur not crazy just crazy beautiful. Y??
Me: Remember when I was called in. Ethan got bite by a stray animal. Just wondering. I miss U  💋 💋 💋 
Mi Amore: Never stop. If you promise to stop worrying I keep an eye on it. And stop by to check out on Ethan tonight or tomorrow. Alright babe
Me: Kk thnx KP 
Mi Amore: ILY let me know when you get home
Me: ILY2  😘
Old man Nick was crazy still believing that aliens were never in Roswell but here. But his word is not so reliable he is married to his chicken Cheryl. I paced around that night in my room thinking trying not to think. He was right I need to stop worrying. I pulled out my pink paper and my fuzzy pens from my desk and sat on my bed and starting to write. Could me not having Janet be making me acting like an old man Nick, god I hope not. So I did what KP did and after my letter to Janet, I decided to not worry about it.
Tumblr media
My feet bounce from one to another as I ran across the neighborhood. I felt a bit of sweat coming from under my lavender purple sports bra and forehead. Hair swinging from left to right right to left as I power through. In theory, if I wanted to I could run my whole town form one end to another. Music blast though my Bluetooth Air Pods. As I turn I reach Bloom Ave I made a quick left and push through till I reach a familiar two-story house at the end of the dead street. It sits back in the dirt a bit with a few stubs in the ground that somehow went perfect with the grey clay outer skeleton with huge windows and white curtains and a bright red wooden door. No cars in the driveway weren’t unfamiliar. Janet's mom or body double was always out at the local bar on some table dancing talking about her glory days. Janet hates that and even though she never told a soul she always fears she becomes that. Be stuck in the middle of nowhere no love and memories of when life was fearless Couldn’t ever be like that I told her as sat back on a black and white blanket sipping on my organic lemonade. She smiles and asks why. Because I will be there no quicksand right. She smiles and nods no quicksand.  I wipe my eyes as I came up to the front porch. I knock a few times before I gave up. Hail Mary twisting my neck a bit I look around to the empty street. From the corner of my eye, I could see the shades move. I turn my head around so quickly I got dizzy. I ran towards the window and tap at it. Trying to look in. It was blurry but I can dang sure I saw someone. I called out and bang it a few times. She was not gonna answer. With a exhale I turn and leaned against the window and slide till I was on the ground. I never gave up but this was starting to look like the only thing I could do. Was not doing that stupid drug that big of a deal. More. More I thought about it I got anger mad-sad even. Whipping my eyes with the back of my hand I got up and grab a few rocks. And started hitting the window calling out for her. Pissed I storm in circles across the front door like a madwoman. 
" I don't know what wrong but FUCK IT. YOU KNOW I CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOU DOING THIS IS FUCK UP. BECAUSE OF BLOODY DAMN DRUG. YOU PROMISE ME MOON AND STARS WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT THE OTHER. SO IM NOT LEAVING IF I HAVE TO WRITE TO YOU AND LEAVE A FREAKIN LETTER OR CALL I AM. I KNOW SOMETHING FUCKIN WRONG. WHAT WE ARE YES IT IS COMPLICATED AND NOT WAY OF THINGS BUT I DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. THIS SHIT CHILDISH. YOU FUCKIN PROMISE J. They all leave me and you promise you won't" I stumble to my knees and hold onto my face with my hands and cried. I can't hate her even when I wanted to I can't. I cry and cry to the point my sweat and tears were blending into one.
Slowly getting up I look at the house once time. I lost. I lost over something so stupid. Crazy as it is if I could go back knowing what I know I still won't take that duck fuckin drug. I would just fight more so Janet wouldn't.
" No quicksand " I whisper before I walk off in defeat.
At work I didn't move much I just sat there listening to Casey about how Ethan couldn't make it something about going to the urgent care next town over. Casey was pleased because it meant she could leave early. Cleaning up the back exam rooms I recognize the towel Ethan used when she got attack day before. FUCK IT. I Peak before I snoop over to the magnifying glass and cup a piece of the towel and took a look. I tried squeezing my eyes but it wasn't close enough DARN I crushed at myself as I ruffle my hair through my hands. Biting the corner of my lip I look over for something anyway. JACKPOT. I rushed over and bent down to go through old equipment until I found the microscope that I remember Ethan told me about when I first started helping out. Sometimes about it not working right but if there one thing I was work with what you got a type of girl. It is I tap the metal table till the light came on. Grabbing the piece of the towel I place it over and fetch my glasses out my chest pocket and kiss my eyes to the lends. At first, it looks right till I saw a few things in the corner that didn't look quite right. The light kept flicking above me with an annoying buzz. Was it stupid yes but who said I was smart. More I tried to focus louder the buzz got. Till the office phone ring making me jump out my damn skin with a loud final act scream. AHHHH.
After a second to realize it was the phone, I quickly answer it. Hello, I said slightly out of breath. I heard heavy breathing. I repeated my self. Still nothing but heavy breathing. This isn't funny I said about to poop a golden egg. Still, it was heavy breathing. I can't hear you breathing I said looking around second-guessing every life decision I ever made. I gonna hang up I said but something stops me. Three words. No QUICKSAND. My eye widens Janet. I scream into the phone for her a bit excited and more so worried. But all I got was a dial tone I tried to call her but she didn't answer.
Each night around the same time the same message those three words. Of course, I tried to make her say anything else but no. My mind races trying to figure it out till each time I came to the same conclusion, she did not want my help or worst she could not ask for it.
I tap my foot as I look at my planner trying to figure out what to wear for my date with KP today. Strawberry favor purple teddy bear he got me on our first date sat on my lap between my thighs. He did tell me much but just it was a casual date no restaurant this time. We need that a few times when he was in school ones out of town. I liked those I could be anyone I wanted to be even though I could only drink the bottled water and had to bring omg own food. If they didn’t have things like organic apples. The third one we did he told me of his dream ones that included me. I like those a lot. Even after the two years when he went off to the army to take down the bad guys. Each letter you write adventures about life we were gonna have. I told him I didn’t care just wanted him there to hold me and love me. Stupid I know but stuck in a small town you can get caught up in those dreams.
After a few minutes of debating I pick up my feet push and turn around and around in my chair holding the hand of teddy. Hoping off after a few turns around I click on my radio and just decide to go with the flow whatever I was feeling. REMEMBER A DAY BY PINK FLOYD starting to play. I bop my head and shake my hips as I look through my denim.
Remember a day before today
A day when you were young.
Free to play alone with time
Evening never comes.
Toss a blue denim skirt with a beach wave cut on the bottom and round bottoms on the front. I lose myself in the beat that was creeping through my soul. Singing off-key look over my shoulders and pull out short sleeves stripe blue and black with a hint of the orange shirt.
Climb your favourite apple tree
Try to catch the sun
Hide from your little brother’s gun
Dream yourself away
I walk backward as I sang with my teddy in my hands the outro plucking out my round black shades to complete the outfit. Licking my lips I look into the mirror with items place in front to imagine how it would look. Something was messing I look behind and saw one of his old button-ups he left one night he stayed. Taking I deep breath in I look up to my ceiling knowing if things go well maybe I go a step forward. Or maybe not.
He came at exactly at 12 o clock. Rolling up in his 2010 Black Ford Raptor with the music blasting. I hope up without thought ran over as soon as it stops. Before I could get in I saw a few blankets on the passenger seat. Peaking up I saw him staring at me with those intoxicating midnight eyes that match his thick cut on side and swoosh in the front black hair. That I love to tug and play with between my dainty fingers. His smile was so wide that it shows off his perfect pearly whites. Reaching closer I smile into a kiss and I felt a lift as he pulls me in and into his lap. To deepen our kiss the taste of his toothpaste and hint of orange juice he must have had before coming over. Recently he taught me the fun of French kissing and art of a tongue. Pulling his bottom lip with my teeth I glance at him his strong muscular hand grip tight to my thigh.
“ Looks like someone wearing my clothes again” He said rubbing little patterns on my thigh with his index finger.
“ Want me to take it off and give it back. Baby” I asked playfully. With one last glance and shook his head no and tilt his head to look at me.
“ You know it drives me crazy seeing you wear my stuff. Let’s not forget the football jersey incident” he reminded me. It was 1st time I allow him to fell my thigh and butt. Thought alone brought a heat running down my body. Something Janet told me was normal. Playing with his hair I look down at what he was wearing. Black jeans with a red t-shirt an leather jacket.
“ So this the big date. Just sitting in your car. I could have told my parents we were staying for lunch then” I said playing with the collar of his jacket.
He ponders the question for a bit before he started to laugh. Picking me up he helps me over to the passenger seat. Left his right hand on my thigh and drove off with his left hand. After a few minutes, I wrap my hand with his and lean back and look at him as he drives. Few times he will peak over even throwing me a silly face which I then gave a few my own. Got to a light I peak out to the street. Crazy for a Saturday the usual busy with folks at the town square or at the farmer market that would be along Main Street it was pretty much close to deserted. Looking back as we drove off I sat back and ponder about it.
“ Did Bucks say anything about not having his produce today?” I asked.
“ Huh yeah sweetie it was postponed. Something happened to some of his vegetables. Think some kids piss on them. There also that beauty pageant in San Pedro. Took a bus over to watch” He said to bring my hand to kiss.
“ Yea yea I forgot. You know with Ethan gone. I feel like I’m working all alone forgetting the days. Where we going “ I asked.
“ Don’t worry we almost there. Would you put that scarf around your eyes it a surprise? Isaac” he said.
I took the red plaid scarf and wrap it around my eyes. The realization was starting to dawn on me besides our movie dates or him staying with me at night. This was our first date since he came back. Worried wasn’t even the word for it my whole body became snuffled with nerves. My mouth was dry and my neck felt warm.
“ Hey hey you okay,” he asked with a serious tone. I nod yes and hold on to his bicep tight.
“ Sorry just excited. Is all” I whisper holding on.
I didn’t know where I was but I felt the ground being a bit rough against my converse. One hand-grip tight to his other feeling my way. I could feel the moisture from the air and leaves. Before u even lifted the scarf I knew we were at our special hideout in Lover Lane.
Close behind me, he squeezed my shoulders gently as he whispered words of sweet nothing. I felt like Alice walking through wonderland. What if I look clearly through the darkness between the glitter and tiny rainbows I could find mad hatter drinking morning tea or the queen of hearts out by her garden w brush covered in red paint. Endless wonders who will I be would I be Alice full of innocence and wonder, the white rabbit who always running with of anxiety, Chester cat who full of the finger brings back cross and a smile with a bit of darkness inching to come back or maybe just a poor bystander. Most say I could pick out those three or add one in but today I didn’t know.
The blindness of the light brought me back from that rabbit hole of thoughts. Blinking a few times to adjust I saw a blur of trees and blue sky. It was beautiful right in the middle among all the flowers and grass was a big red planet blanket with a wicker basket in the center.
“ Surprise My Ama. Like it” KP said with a huge grind with his hands stretch out as far as possible. I didn’t know tears were coming down till KP came over to kiss them away. I hold his hand tight and kiss his hand before kissing each finger and look deep into his deep space eyes.
“ Did I do something why are you crying?” KP said a bit worried. I felt my lips playing peek a boo with teeth. I wish I knew why I was crying. I don’t even know anymore.
Instead of the truth I pull KP by hand and pull him onto the blanket before I let go and lay across. I curl my finger and motion for him to come over to sit by me. He lay his head on my lap. Right by edge of my skirt and he help right with his head facing my lower stomach. Playing with his hair between my fingers I came close and kiss his forehead gently. He holds me close and mumbles something. Maybe today I’m Alice before she found that hole.
Tumblr media
The sun felt so good again my smooth rich terra- cotta skin. My hair was slip to the side taking in the sun raises. I could here KP reading from his old worn-out copy of The Last Man in the background still laying on my lap. He always had a fascination with Pre-American Gothic and an unseen classic from popular authors. Could read anything that was calming may you forget the world around you and drunk of his voice capturing his presence. Once he read House of Leaves to me when we were both in head and sound like a lullaby.
What is there in our nature that is forever urging us on towards pain KP read.
I bent down in front of the book to block any of the words and cup his cheeks in my hands and kiss him. Putting the book beside him he returns the kiss and pulls in deeper and turns me over to he was on top. My head rests on my honey scent shampoo hair. I could smell the woody scent of his Guilty Pour Homme Spray by Gucci he always put on. He moves his hand to crest cheek eyes match my woods brown eye with his. I could feel something hard pressuring against my thigh. With a sigh, I look at him and then down. Once again. As if he could read my thoughts he slowly pulls away.
“ Should probably not continue this before we are both in trouble huh baby?” KP said in his deep chocolate voice. I slowly nod and place my hands against his side and rub it against the pants being the only thing stopping me to go further. I need an escape something to stop my thoughts stop me from jumping face-first onto the hole. I felt moving his hips with movement with my palm. Kiss trace down my neck gently I curve into his touch wanting more. God, he knew how to make this girl feel good. His hands while rough with warn and tares always was gentle. Without thought I let out a sigh as we continue till out nowhere I thought I heard some birds. A lot of birds. Opening my eyes corner of my sight I see a family of birds flying in a flock west of me. I bent my head back as I follow the birds until they disappear. My mind drifts off to where they were going what would they do once they are there.
“ Ama I gotta tell you something alright something very important and I need you to listen can you do that” KP asked as he kisses my neck some more. I nod and mouth yes.
“ You know when I left I thought I was strong I thought I was brave. I wanted to protect you so badly from all evil all darkness I went onto war. But honestly, it’s not what I thought baby. The world we live in full of chaos more I tried to fix it stay in line I found my self missing you thinking what if I stay with you” KP said and continue to kiss me between my chest. Feeling brought old feelings I haven’t felt in more a year ago.
“ This world needs order. And I can’t do it all alone. Many nights I was barley holding thinking of ending my life but I got your letters and face times. If it wasn’t for you I will be lost in this huge empty world. I have been thinking and well what if after you graduate we leave pack all your shit and leave. Nothing d holding us back” KP said. I blink and look at him he stops kissing me and look back up at me with huge night sky eyes. I could hear some strange noises from behind me. KP was still speaking and all I could do was stare at him with drunk haze eyes.
“ Would you run off with me?” KP asks turning to go get up to look at me. No words can describe the look in his eyes passion fear worry lust doubt. Galaxy with million and one thoughts hiding in plain sight. Could I leave and blindly follow him into the unknown future. FUCK YEAH, I WOULD that promised I gave him so long ago.
Before I could say anything everything happens in a flash. The gravity pull was distracted in a minor of seconds. I felt him pushed my down covering me with his chest I look and I could feel something wet. Stumbling back on the blanket my breath gets shorter and I start to feel dizzy my fingertips were numb I felt like the more I tried to breathe more I fell deeper into the darkness. Then were the two muscle arms scooping me up from behind?
“ ISAAC ISSAC AMA AMA BABY BABY LOOK AT ME. Come one before you go into shock “ KP shout out. I look away from the body and at him. His thick finger covers my flushed cheeks. I slowly start to nod and look back at the body.
“ Is he.... is he dead we gotta do -“ I stop as I could see man chest rising a bit he was saying something. I let go and slowly follow the mumble I was a foot away before I felt a hand on my shoulder stopping me. I couldn’t freak out not like before a deep breath in I slowly turn back around.
“ Not safe. Take my phone get services and called for help” KP said in his deep savior voice he does when he serious. I glance back at the body. It gosh out blood to point you couldn’t tell where the actual puncture wound was. Where was it that was gonna be on his death certificate. From where I was it looks like his had puss and some strange black markers. He spoke to me but I did not answer him instead I remain quite till I heard the 911 operator.
“ He Hello. Yes huh, this is huh Amaryllis Isaac Smith I’m with my boyfriend Kindred Phillip” I could hear KP be reaping the word deputy. I nod and look at him he was hovering over the body almost studying it. “ Deputy Sargent Phillip. We are huh mm KP where are we” I stop and scream again where are we.
“ Lover Lane South East entranced a quarter-mile away from the lake. TELL ME THE PEEK A BOO SPOT they will know” He shoot out.
I repeated words word by word what he said. I heard the words by I couldn’t answer.
“Yes, there a man baby hurt. PLEASE HURRY” I said. Placing my hand to the phone I look at KP. “ Is he breathing KP “ I shout out. I couldn’t see one of his hands he was knee down to the body his back facing me. I waited but he didn’t answer just slowly got up and brush his hands on his thighs and grab the phone.
“ He dead. We wait to cops come. Maybe an ambulance my girl she a bit shook up. That’s okay Baby ... Baby” KP asked looking down at me. I couldn’t breathe anymore my hands wrap around his broad shoulder for my dear life my right cheek pushed onto his chest till I could hear his heart. Far away by the now dead body, I saw flames surrounding it. Tears gently fell more flames the closer I pulled into him till my vision was blur form fabric of his shirt. With one last breathe I was free-falling down that hole.

you can’t keep everything the way you want
listening to lori mckenna and wishing i could’ve caught her in concert this year. alas, maybe next year. 
i recovered pretty well from yesterday, surprise surprise
i ate lots of salty food and drank a ton of water today, so i think that helped. maybe. possibly. idk. 
but i made it through my 9 hour day without too much problem
the gals have a cold, so we skipped trivia tonight, but that gave me a chance to run to Fedex, finish patreon rewards, watch the Stars game (!!!!!!), and relax
deb and i even got a chance to write for a smidge :D
so today has actually been a good day
tomorrow is OT day, where i wanna ask about getting a power chair again and see if we can do that before the end of the year
i’m hoping i can run an errand after OT but before work 
thursday i’m aiming to go swimming after therapy, before my eye exam
i’d like to get a new pair of glasses from costco this year, because i feel like they’re better quality than the ones i get from zenni
and it’d just be nice to have a spare pair instead of the one
i finished one load of laundry and hung it up during the third period when i knew the stars had the game in the bag XD
dating continues to be ridiculous and ugh so frustrating
either no one responds or when they do, talking or conversation is like pulling teeth
i hope i get my tilt table results tomorrow
i also wanna go somewhere. do something. i’m just not sure what. 
not like i can really afford that kind of stuff but you know
it’s nice to think about
this album makes me feel like it’s summer still 
i’m tired now
i’m gonna let myself be tired and go to bed <3
let’s have a great week

Ok so I feel like I'm supposed to write a con recap too... it feels kinda different for me because I did post some stuff during the event but still... Okay this is gonna be ineloquent af but you know me.
Ok first of all I need to share with y'all how it all went: my brother had been living in Boston for a few years, and he moved to NYC in August. Around that time, I was like, "Hey can I visit you? But like, at some point in April or sth to find cheap tickets?" And he goes like, "I literally have zero plans, don't know if I'll stay here that long, come soon" and I say, "What about Halloween" and he says ok. I tell that to @killianmesmalls and she loses her shit, telling me to come to the NJ con.
So, I tried. I had like, a very limited amount of time to gather enough money for everything, plane tickets, con tickets, and all the expenses I'd have here, so I was very nervous. I made it, bought my stuff and all... and to be perfectly honest, there were times i regretted it before the event. I was like, "Seriously? 100 bucks for one photo and literal seconds with an actor I've been loving for four and a half years?"
I did try to console myself with the fact that, hey, picture with Colin! Hug with Colin! It can't be that bad, right? I was also extremely nervous because I felt like I was being a burden to kms, like she literally opened her hotel room for me to stay with her and @justmilah, and I was only like, "I brought Turkish delight that I bought at the last minute from Duty Free! Is that okay?"
Like seriously, I feel so guilty for the lack of gifts to everyone else. Well, I guess that means we're gonna have to meet again, right??!
Anyways, I don't really think I can do a super detailed recap right now, but going back to the regretting thing... for those of you that don't know, I only got a Saturday general admission pass and a photo op with Colin. That meant no Colin/Rose panel, no autographs and, since I was on a low budget already, no extra photo ops. And at first it didn't feel weird... until I had to wave goodbye at @fraddit before she entered the Colin/Rose panel and I had to stay outside alone, and it kinda hit me that, man. That sucks.
But don't get too down, because, ya know, in hindsight, that was one of the best weekends of my freaking life, and getting to hug Colin O'Donoghue was just the cherry on top. I got to meet all those ladies listed above, along with:
@captregina, your enthusiasm about everything you love is unique, and I hope you enjoyed our conversations in the car. No uncomfortable silence there, for sure! Also that adventure of being lost in the middle of nowhere and exploring through the fall-coloured town of whatever that was is an experience I'll never forget. Kiss your adorable kitty for me!
@queen-mabs-revenge , whom I mostly recognized due to her amazeballs Milah costume the first day. Also I do feel that one of the top moments was us in the pool discussing about the OUAT soundtrack... as we were (what happens in the pool stays in the pool). That night in the pool was seriously so relaxing and I loved everything we chatted about. Also your tote bag and the Rose autograph you passed on to me, seriously, that meant so much to me.
@thesschesthair, whom I also didn't recognize at first. I mean, I just entered the room and there was Milah, oh okay, that's Mabs, and then there goes that other woman standing up and hugging me tight and lifting me up... and then speaking. Gotta be honest, I recognized you from your accent XD and I love it so fucking much that I can now hear your voice every time you post something. And like, your attitude and humor and just... your presence was everything. Also I'll never forget your enthusiasm over eating chipotle for the first time.
By the way quick shout out to @fraddit because she found the best places to eat in the middle of fucking nowhere. Actually, bigger shout out because you are The Best from up close and frankly you should have kidnapped me as you'd planned. I wouldn't have resisted, is all I'm saying. Having you be so happy over my excitement for Halloween decorations was the sweetest thing ever and seeing you be so happy and emotional over meeting Colin made me so happy too!
@theonceoverthinker , seriously, if you hadn't picked me up after I'd lost my shit (and footing, quite literally) before and after my op with Colin, I'd probably still be there screaming and squealing. Like, I think about it now, and I genuinely think it would have taken me so much longer to recover if you weren't there to literally drag me to my feet. So thank you. Also, you're an amazing hugger and a great talker.
@the-girl-in-the-band-tshirt I'm so glad I got to meet you in the con! You're adorable and I hope I can meet you again and another con or something!
@brave-lassie as others have said, your Red costume was rad. And your hair was awesome too! I wish I could've spent more time with you because I think we could have had so interesting conversations!
Speaking of little time... I only got to meet @leiandcharles for like one night and eeeeee I was so happy! Your hair is awesome too and I wish I'd met you earlier in the con!
@justmilah I honestly wish I could've been in the Colin/Rose panel just to see you vibrate into another dimension. You were the most huggable person and the most willing one to share body heat with when this Mediterranean Bitch who can't handle the cold decided to join y'all outside without wearing a coat. Not my best idea, I admit.
And last but certainly not least, @killianmesmalls. Me making this trip and joining the con would literally not have been possible hadn't it been for you, both for the enthusiasm and all your help. So if there's anyone who hated me being there, you know who to blame XD it's so freaking important to me, because I literally come from a small town no one freaking knows and I literally did this whole trip and met and hugged Colin O'Freaking Donoghue. English is not even my first language and I met you all and had this absolutely wonderful experience (so much that I admitted it felt weird that I'd spent entire days barely speaking Greek)... it's just... this started as a trip to NYC to see the city and my brother and it turned into MY FIRST CON and oh, yeah, I did get to see my brother and, idk, one of the most visited places in the world, nbd, who cares even.
I mean, it still hasn't sunk in. And the most important thing? Joining one (1) con and I'm immediately like, why are there fandom wars again? Why did I waste so much of my time hating on people liking their stuff? I mean, I didn't even consider myself an anti... but seeing all those people being so happy enjoying what they loved, even if I didn't care at all about those same things literally opened my eyes. If we could spend a con all together, once in a while, we would have been so happy with just being together that fandom wars would have no place in it. I for one am glad I got to have that experience. It's truly amazing and life-changing, especially considering the people I met here and the love we all shared for the same things. Which also made me miss a few people who weren't there so much. I saw you fangirl from far away and I was like... if only you were here with us T_T
Anyway, I got all emo, but since tomorrow is my last day in NYC and its officially bringing this experience to a close, I wanted to share how important and amazing it was for me to be a part of this whole thing. Thank you to everyone for making it so ❤❤

Shove your Opinion
Request
Pairing: Loki x reader 
warning: language, cheating, fluff
words: 2067
Prompt: 5) “ I’m going to need you to take your opinions and shove them up your ass, m ’kay? m ’kay” @meyoko10
Summary: Number 5 reader with loki. Angst, a dash of fluff, and maybe a smidge of smut 😋 like maybe the reader is dating a guy (but he is a cheater and she doesnt know it) and loki is jelly because he secretly likes her  and knows his secret. Idk something like that...lol
Prompt
Tumblr media
There was something there she didn’t know what it was she didn’t think it was love but she knew it was something special. She would hope it was or would form into love. But it never did not when they went on all their date or when they moved in with each other. it was just a feeling but for so long she dependent on that feeling in their relationship that she didn’t even notice when it fainted. Them being together just became so normal she didn’t remember a time with him so she kept the relationship going.
Then Loki came along. Thor returned one day and brought his brother, Loki, along with him. At first the others weren’t to please with his arrival but Thor said he changed so (y/n) stepped up and give him a chance that no one else would give.
“Hi, I’m (y/n)” 
“Loki “ He was hooked the first time he saw her. She was so beautiful and just her eyes caught him. Beautiful sparking (c/e). He wanted more.
“I think we’ll be great friends” she said and she was right. The two instantly became best friends and the others warmed up to him as well but they never got what (y/n) and Loki had. They went on missions together, they had movie night, game night, book night, days for the library, tea times, days for walks in the park, days for a chill in a coffee place, sleepovers (but she’d never tell her boyfriend that). They spent so much time together there were points were (y/n) forgot she even had a boyfriends.
The more Loki spent time with (y/n) the more he got to know her the more he fell in love with her. She was just so fucking perfect the more time he was with her the more perfected she was. He fell head over heels in love with her and he wanted no one else.
“That was amazing” Loki said as (y/n) closed her book. The two were picking book series to read that were turned into Tv show or movies so they could watch them afterwards.  (y/n) picked Harry Potter while Loki choices Game of Thrones. Seeing as Harry Potter was movies and both the book series and movies were done they started with that first. They had just finished reading the Chamber of Secrets.
“And tomorrow we shall watch the movie”
“This is just the second book and I’ve already gotten so attached to these character” Loki said hugging the book to his chest
“Oh my darling their 7 books and 8 movies”.
“8 movies” Loki gasped 
“the last book was split into a two movies. Game of Thrones has 5 books though the author says he has plans for seven. There’s also a total of 7 season to game of thrones. Game of Thrones is much longer than Harry Potter … which is why I haven’t seen it. Please there so many characters and families and every episode is like an hour “
“if it each a pain why are you..?”
“I’m not going to let you grieve over fictional characters alone and I hear a lot of people die in game of thrones”
Loki smiled he didn’t know what to say she was doing something she didn’t want to for him. Loki was about to thank her when her phone went off. He rolled his eyes immediately knowing who it was. Nick, was (y/n) boyfriend and Loki loathed him with a passion. It was so much passion it was an art.
“Hi hi” (Y/n) said answering the phone. Loki noticed how her smile became small “work...okay.... sure... I mean ….sure ….30....m’kay kay bye bye  ” (Y/n) stood up from the couch.
“He calls and she runs”
“don’t be like that. I’ll be back tomorrow and tomorrow after work we’ll watch the movie” (y/n) blows him a kiss as she walks away.
“why are you with him” Loki asks suddenly standing book falling to the floor. (y/n) turns are a bit startled she recovered and walked over towards him. 
“He’s my boyfriend. I’ve been with him for almost two years. I was hoping we’d have a future together and I’m stilling looking for it” she picked up the book he dropped and put it on the coffee table next to her abandon book.
“he’s not good for you” Loki said and he knew. Loki was the god of lies and could tell when a person was lying even when they weren’t in the room. When Loki first meet Nick he knew automatically that he was a liar there was something off about him and he was hiding something. But recently Loki found out Nick was unfaithful. But he didn’t know how to bring the true to (y/n) every time he even mentioned her boyfriends name she was gone or didn’t want to hear it.
“Loki, thank you for worrying but I’ve got this” (y/n) said as she headed for the elevator again.
“(y/n) please just listen-” 
“no Loki. Now I’m going home we’ll forget about this in the morning.... Good night Loki please sleep well” and with that (y/n) left out the tower and left Loki to his own thoughts.
-
“Finally “ (y/n) groaned as she slumped off the jet dragging her bags. It was a week long mission but with more effort they ended it in 3 days. 
“That was awful” she groaned 
“At least it got done” Steve said “ (Y/n) you should  stay the night and go home in the morning it’s late and you’re exhausted”
“Nah, I’m going to back to my place. I’m back sooner than expected … I’ll surprised Nick. see you later you guys” Loki chased (y/n) a bit into the elevator she sighed as he got in with her. She knew what was coming.
“Maybe you should stay we could start Game of Thrones since we finished the first book. We could have a sleep over.” she looked a him a bit annoyed “one episode that’s all I’m asking for one episode one hour”
“Loki?...what is it what’s wrong?” she asked 
“I... I feel like something is wrong. I’m not actually sure what it is at the moment but I feel like you should stay … please” 
“Loki if something goes wrong I’ll come back okay? it that okay?” (y/n) said patting his shoulder. As the elevator door opened on the garage floor she blew him a kiss and went about her way home. Loki sighed for some reason he knew she would be back.
-
(Y/n) quietly put her keys into the door. It was around 2am and it was a Thursday and Nick had work in the morning so there was no possibility of him being awake or so she thought. As she quietly moved setting her bag down and her keys on the coffee table next to his laptop she was about to head to her room when she heard a noise.
Creeping up to the door she placed her ear on the door her eyes widen when she heard moaning a females moaning. Giving him a chances she made up and excuse. Porn he was watching porn on his laptop. But then she remembered his laptop was on the coffee table and those moans were sounding really realistic. 
No longer giving it any doubt (y/n) opened the door and there her boyfriend with their next door neighbor riding him into the night. After getting a look (Y/n) didn’t giving them a second glance and went to their shared closet. 
The couple on the bed finally noticed (y/n) when they heard the clock of a gun. They both screamed as they saw her standing in front of the closet.
“Relax” (y/n) said as she tossed her gun on the dresser and opened the drawers and started putting her clothes in the duffle bag she got from the closet. 
“Baby, Baby, baby,  please just lets talk okay lets talk”  Nick said as he stood up covering himself with a pillow well the girl looked around the room for her clothes.
“don’t baby me don’t lets talk me I’m done. I come home after a long ass week of working my ass off with no sleep what so ever to see  (Y/n) boning this red headed bimbo in the bed I BOUGHT. Fuck you you slimy cheating fucking fucktard.”
“ You know what. Shut the hell up you’re going to hear what I have to say. You don’t think I know about you and that Loki guy. You guys have been close for months you’ve probably been hoping on his dick for day one. You guys are way to close to not be fucking.” Nick said as if he caught her in some act as if they were even.
“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. Of course I’m close with Loki he’s my partner we work together. In my line of work if I don’t have some one watching my back I don’t come home and guess what the guy you’re accusing me of fucking has been watching my back and making sure I can get home to you. So yeah we’re fucking close he’s taken bullets for me while all you’ve done is STABBED ME IN THE BACK” (y/n) shouted as she packed her bag.
The neighbor, Stephan, stood up dressed down and raised her hand trying to get their attention. “ I’m sorry to get in between your relationship but in my opinion you guys should-”
(Y/n) quickly picked up her gun from the dresser and pointed it at her “ I’m going to need you to take your opinions and shove them up your ass, m ’kay? m ’kay” she tucked the gun in the back of her waist band and finished packing as Nick and Sarah tried to talk to her.
“Fuck you and Fuck you I’ll be back for my shit tomorrow. Have a nice fucking life. Enjoy his 5 inch marker” And with that she grabbed all she could what was hers and left. It wasn’t until she was in her car and driving that she finally broke down. She had to pull over and let everything out. Crying a hot mess on the side of the road. When she finally calmed down again she drove back to the tower at a much slower pace.
-
Loki sighed as he finished the episode for the first episode it was pretty dramatic and had a lot of nudity like a lot. There was a sudden knock on his bed room door. “come in” The door opened and in stepped (y/n) she had bags in her hand and she was sniffling. Coming in she immediately shut the door dropped her bags and crawled under the covers with Loki cuddling into his sides.
“you were right....he was unfaithful. I should have stayed with you. I’m sorry I didn’t believe you” she began to cry in his shoulder.
“Hey do not shed tears for that pig. He is not worthy of your tears he does not deserve them.” Loki said as he wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. “ I just finished the first episode of Games of Thrones... a lot of nudity”
(y/n) sniffled “ is there any sex?” 
Loki chuckled “ Yeah but I don’t think you’re going to like it “. He rewind the episode and started it from the very beginning again. They watched in silence for a moment. 
“Sarah has a fiancé wedding is in a week”  (y/n) said “ I have cameras all over the apartment. I’ll be sending a video to her fiancé, his family, and her family”. Loki turned and looked down at her for a moment before roughly kissing her she smiled into the kiss.
“Have I ever told you how amazing you are”
“A girl likes to hear it more than once.”

Outlier | the end
poly!au: park jimin x reader x kim jennie while your lovers said they needed you, you wondered if they knew how much you needed them. word count: 3988 genre: angst warnings: explicit language
[an]: nothing is medically accurate lmao im so sorry i researched like 70 percent and then i implied everything else so dont trust me idk what im talking abt. but a BIG thank you to everyone who sent me so so so much support and feedback for this entire series bc i wouldn’t have had the motivation to finish. getting those messages after posting a chapter made me giddy for my own story and i know what happens. I truly love interacting with my readers and going into plot/character analysis, i just love hearing everyone’s thoughts and thinking processes bc we all interpret things differently, again, thank you everyone who enjoyed reading this story (: 
prologue . 01 . 02 . 03 . 04 . 05 . 06 . 07 . 08 . the end 
Tumblr media
After confirmation of the surgery, it became prepping sessions. Your doctor slowly took you off the chemo and gave you medication to ease any discomfort. You were given less visiting hours because you needed to rest. 
But your troubles stirred when you were alone. The moment replayed in your mind when Jennie told you that they were broken up. There was nothing you could say, nothing for you to fix. Jennie and Jimin were respectfully dating you, aware of your decision for still wanting to be with the both of them. It didn’t feel the same though, it didn’t feel secure or safe.
There was no way you could date them separately. Jimin lacked what Jennie brought to the relationship and vise versa. It wasn’t complete without the both of them. Your nurses didn’t let you worry about that, brushing away Jimin and Jennie during your resting hours. 
Jungkook visited you once after you added him back onto your list. He also brought you a vase of your favorite flowers. There was part of you where you didn’t want to make things awkward, but the other part didn’t allow for that. Instead, you blurted out that you knew about his crush on you. Then, he left quickly after you rejected his offer to be with him.
Hoseok respected your time and didn’t visit when he wasn’t allowed to. You were aware of how he had other important events in his life, but you really wished he tried to see you more. You’d hate to admit it, but Hoseok seemed to be the only person you could turn to for any non-biased advice. Since he stopped coming around often, you had to turn to your nurses.
The two weeks were absolutely the dullest moment in your life. You thought that living in your small town with your mom was bad, this was worse. You were stuck in a huge hospital with no friends majority of your stay. Your nurses were only with you for max ten minutes before they needed to go. You had the television, sleep, and your own nervousness.
Surgery was a big decision, so big that you even called your mom about it. You didn’t have the best relationship with your mom, so calling her was a surprise to even her. She totally didn’t bother to follow up on your life, so she never called first. But, you couldn’t go into surgery with the possibility of death and not tell her about it.
She offered to fly over and you insisted that she didn’t. So when she arrived to see you, you didn’t hesitate to give her a piece of your mind.
“What are you doing here? I told you that you didn’t need to come. Where did you find which hospital I was staying at?” You groaned into your pillow.
Your mom set her things down and crossed her legs while she took a seat across from you. “I asked the school. I’m your mother, for fucks sakes.” 
“Yeah, well you didn’t think that when I was growing up, so now that I’m dying, you decide you should start caring.” You rolled your eyes at her gasp.
“How dare you say that to me? I raised you when your dad walked out on us.”
“If you think being drunk and picking me up from my after school programs means raising me, then yeah. You did great mom.” Your sarcasm came out in train wrecks when it came to your mom; she drew the worse out of you.
“(Y/N), you have cancer and you decide to let me know when you’ve already decided for surgery is not exactly the most responsible daughter thing you pride yourself to be.” She shot back.
Your nurse came in to cue that she only had 15 minutes left before she needed to leave. “It honestly didn’t cross my mind that I needed to tell you since you’ve never cared enough to call me these past years except to invite me to your stupid wedding. Might I also add that you didn’t tell me about until the day before, so that makes two of us.”
“I didn’t raise you for you to treat me like this.”
“You didn’t raise me at all, what are you saying? But how about we talk about something else, since that’s all we ever talk about. News flash, mom, I have fucking pancreatic cancer and I’m going into surgery tomorrow. I’ve been going to chemo these past three months and I have almost to no hair. My body is bruised from being poked by needles. I am dying! Thanks for even having the audacity to come see me before my maybe death tomorrow. Don’t let the door hit you in the face.” You shouted as loud as your lungs let you go.
Your door opened and you both stopped your argument to see Jennie and Jimin standing under the frame. They looked stunned and confused to see the lady who you resembled. “Did we come at a bad time?” Jimin asked.
“No, since this is your visiting time.” You crossed your arms, glaring at your mom.
“Who are you two?” She asked, rudely.
“Mom, that’s my boyfriend, Jimin and that’s my girlfriend, Jennie. Welcome to the modern society of polyamorous relationships where I love two people at once.” Jennie and Jimin have never heard such sarcasm run out of your mouth. You were always just subtle, but this side of you was new.
“Hi, it’s nice to finally meet you.” Jennie stepped forward and your mom got up.
“Well, I can see that you have a whole double life I know nothing about. I guess you don’t need me anymore. Good luck on your surgery and whatever you call a relationship.” She grabbed her things and walked past Jennie and Jimin.
“She was pleasant.” Jimin said sarcastically and you rolled over on your side.
“This is why I never brought you home with me for the holidays.”  Jennie hurried to cuddle up to your side. 
“At least we avoided an awkward argument over Christmas dinner.” She chuckled and kissed your ear.
Jimin sat on your opposite side. “Are you ready for tomorrow?” 
Sitting up in Jennie’s arms, you buried your face in your hands. “No. I’m so scared.” 
“You’re going to be fine. Jennie, Hoseok and I are going to be right outside of your door. We’re going to be with you when you’re recovering. We’re with you every step of the way, we already packed our go-bags.” Jimin tried to comfort you, but you sobbed into your hands. You couldn’t help but cry so much nowadays. Staying strong was hard when you were so vulnerable. 
“And if something happens? Will you be there with me?” It was a rhetorical question that caused them to both fall silent.
“Nothing will happen. They’re highly trained professionals and I made sure you had the best surgeon in this hospital.” Jennie bragged proudly and Jimin laughed.
“Yeah, seeing her demand it was very terrifying. But, she did it. You’re in good hands, baby.” Jimin smiled and kissed the top of your head.
“Can you two just lay with me for the last couple of minutes before my nurse comes and kicks you out?” You sniffed and moved over for Jimin to join the sandwich fest.
“(Y/N), I love you so much.” Jennie and Jimin said in unison, and the unsettling feeling set back into your system.
A group of nurses and surgeons rolled you into a double door room. It was dim, except for the big spotlight that shined above you. Squinting, you saw the surgical masks that blinked back at you.
“Ready?” Your doctor was smiling behind her mask.
“No.” Your voice trembled from your nerves; your palms slick with sweat. “I want to be okay.”
“And you will be, (Y/N). We’re going to start with the anesthetics and we’ll get everything going. Relax, I’m right here.” She held onto your shaking hand and you stared back up at the bright light.
You felt the drugs enter your system, slowly stripping away your consciousness. You’ve already cried out all night your worries and said a few important goodbyes before the day arrived. The jittery feeling caused your body to shake uncontrollably and you were so terrified. This could mean recovery or death.
And while you hoped for survival, you knew the chances were split between the two options. Death was unavoidable, but to die so early shook your bones. Your dreams have just been memories of past events in your life, reminding you of the life you lived. The life you might soon leave. It was harder to ignore death than it was to wish for recovery.
Once your eyelids fell over your eyes, you’ve never felt more alone in your entire life.
“Would you stop pacing? You’ve been walking back and forth for the past two hours.” Jennie complained.
Jimin stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes at her, “I’m nervous.” 
“What happened to ‘it’s going to be fine’ and ‘you don’t need to worry’?” Jennie laughed and Jimin rolled his eyes.
“I can’t help that my body reacts the way it does when I’m the slightest worried. How are you so calm about this? They’re literally cutting her open in that room.” Jimin gestured to the closed doors.
“By not thinking about it like that. I’m thinking about the lovely time I get to spend with my girlfriend when she’s done.” Jennie muttered.
Jimin walked up to her and pointed to his chest, “you mean my girlfriend?”
Hoseok pushed the two apart. “She’s both of your’s. Are you two done making a scene in a hospital?” 
Jimin went over to sit next to Hoseok’s other side, making him stuck in the middle of a not-so-friendly feud. Even though they showed up together for visits, they were incredibly hostile to one another when they were alone. 
They slept in separate beds, Jimin taking over your room and Jennie in her’s. They ate dinner with their own friends and didn’t bother to tell each other about their whereabouts. They mostly spoke to each other in scoffs or groans.
Suddenly, the hallway doors were slammed open and nurses were rushing in a big machine --- a defibrillator.
The three of them stood up, seeing how rushed and hurried the nurses looked. The surgery door opened and a surgeon walked out with sweat dripping down the side of his head. The sound of a flat line heartbeat caught the attention of Jennie.
“Her heart isn’t beating, is it?” She was afraid to hear the answer to her question, her chest rising and falling violently.
Your doctor held the door open for the other nurses and defibrillator. “Her pulse went out, but we’re doing our best. But prepare for the worse.” 
Jennie collapsed onto the floor, bawling. “Holy fuck, we’re going to lose her!” She shouted with heavy tears running down her face. It was like her words pulled Jennie’s heart down to the pit of her stomach. Her whole mind and body were shutting down at the news.
“You have to stay calm, Jen.. we’re in a hospital.” Jimin tried to get her up, but she kept slipping his grasp.
“I don’t care! That’s our girl in there and her heart isn’t beating!” She exclaimed and Hoseok helped with holding her up.
Jimin’s head was in shambles, utterly speechless at what was happening. Hoseok was numb to the news, unaware to how to react. They wanted to stay optimistic, that the defibrillator will work. It had to work. 
“Why don’t you two go outside and get some air? I’ll stay here for any further news. Please... it’s not a suggestion. Go.” Hoseok needed to clear them out before they both stressed him out more than he already was.
Jimin walked Jennie outside. The light breeze clearing their heavy, crazy minds. Jennie was choked up by her tears, constantly wiping at her wet cheeks. Jimin stared at the ground, listening to her sorrows. His heart too heavy to express.
“Aft-er -- everything.. --Jimin --- I’m.. really, truly sorry...--” Jennie had trouble speaking with the endless waterfalls from her eyes.
“--Jen..” Jimin barely got out.
“No.. listen to me first. I’ve felt really guilty about all the rumors. We should’ve never gotten together in the first place, especially with someone like me. I’m known as the campus hoe, right? I can’t hold onto a stable relationship even if I wanted to and now my --- girlfriend --- is-- she’s -- dying.” Jennie cried harder, holding her face in her hands as she slid against the wall and onto the ground.
“I didn’t do anything with Jisoo ever. I don’t know how many more times I need to tell you, but I would never hurt you or (Y/N) like that, especially coming from a place where that has happened to me multiple times. Maybe you’ve always secretly doubted our relationship, considering how we got together through an accidental one night stand.” 
“Through our three months together, I fell head over heels for you, Jimin. I’ll admit it. I liked (Y/N) first, but you had a piece of me I didn’t think I could give to anyone after Taehyung. You’re so open, so understanding, so kind. I’ve never fully gotten the chance to explain myself because you keep shutting me down and every time, I believed that my explanation doesn’t matter. I’ve been devalued my entire life by my partners and sadly, I made myself feel that way with you when you ignored my pleads. But I think now is the best opportunity to tell you because we honestly don’t have anyone else who understands us the way we do. We’re both suffering because our girlfriend is in there not breathing. Our girlfriend, Jimin. I love you and through everything, you’re the one of the only people in this world who knows my struggles.” Jennie held him by the shoulders, so he could look her in the eyes as she gripped onto the only hope left in her life.
Jimin invited her into his arms, holding her tight. He had forgotten why he was upset before. He just wanted to be with his girls. He wished, hoped, prayed that things were back to how they were before the misfortune. 
“I’m sorry for making you feel invalid. I’m sorry for hurting you the way I did.” He admitted and Jennie sobbed harder into his chest.
“It’s okay... -- we’ll --- be...”
“--- Okay?” Jimin finished off and she nodded. 
You couldn’t breathe or move. Your lungs collapsed into your chest and you struggled to supply oxygen to your body. You screamed, but no noise came out and your arms were glued to your side. It was like you were trapped in a motionless body.
Everything was turning fuzzy and a white light blurred your vision. This was it. You were dying. You weren’t sure what realization hit you. Maybe it was the lost of breath and your heart rate slowly declining. Maybe it was the blinding light that caught your attention ahead.
Your memories started flashing before you. Jennie and Jimin flooding your mind. Your eyes scanned for anyone else, but them. However, you were left with scenes of your once perfect relationship.
Your first date night. It was the day you officially joined your partners. Jennie hurried you down to meet Jimin. He was cleaned up nicely, standing all cool against his sleek car. He peered up to see Jennie with the biggest smile on her small face, hand holding yours. 
She told Jimin the news and he was overjoyed, ready to hold you in his arms. He rushed you into the car and it didn’t feel much different than it was when all three of you hung out. The only difference was that you’ve never been more intimate with your best friends. 
Your first kiss. You anxiously sat next to Jimin on the couch during a lazy movie fest you were having with them. He had his arm wrapped around you, twirling the ends of your fingers with his. Your heart beating so fast, being not use to the touching from either of them.
He picked up your chin, knowing that you were distracted. It was an instant spark once your eyes connected and soon, your lips did as well.
Your first ‘I love you’. This moment was one of your favorites. It was Jennie’s birthday and you three were excited for the day ahead. However, a huge storm was rolling in and you were almost home. Jimin insisted in stopping to buy more snacks before rushing back. 
Once you all stepped out from the convenience store, it was showering, pouring heavy amounts of rain. Jennie, you and Jimin were drenched within seconds of going outside. Your plastic bags filled up an inch with collected water. Jimin’s leather seats in his car pooled with rain. All three of you laughed with glee as you marveled the escape from the wet mess.
And you suddenly stopped to admire the way Jimin’s eyes disappeared cutely and how Jennie’s nose scrunched up, her adorable snort catching your attention. In the midst of their happiness, you blurted out, “I love you two.”
The news of your mother’s wedding. An invitation was addressed to you. It had pretty cursive handwriting and a beautiful design. It was a wedding for your mom and her boyfriend, inviting you to join them for an evening of unity. You weren’t aware of them even being engaged, let alone a marriage. 
Jennie and Jimin never mentioned your mom, knowing you didn’t like pressing on too much about her. Their initial reaction was for you to go, until you explained that you didn’t even know she was getting married. You had crumpled up the invitation and threw it away in the trash.
Jennie consoled you, reassuring you that it was perfectly fine that you don’t attend. While you sulked in the living room, they approached you with the idea of still giving your mom a gift to congratulate her. It showed that you were the bigger person and that you acknowledge her efforts. They made you a better you.
Throughout every flashback, and every memory, your heart was searching for something beyond them, an image that wasn’t them. You laid there, dying, and all you saw was your girlfriend and your boyfriend. There had to be more than that and your heart was looking, waiting, for any other memories to surface. 
But nothing. It was only them and you couldn’t help, but feel a little disappointed. For the last few years of your life, you’ve revolved your entire world around these two people. You’re alone, not because you’re not social, but because you chose to focus all of your efforts into your relationship. And as you slowly lost sense of your consciousness, you became regretful about how you lived.
You heard distant voices, “1, 2, 3!” and you slowly opened your eyes. There was a rush of air that filled your lungs. Your vision adjusted to the bright spotlight and the many surgical masks above you. 
“She’s awake! We got her pulse!” They cheered and one of the nurses pulled down his mask.
“You’re going to be okay, Ms. (Y/N). The surgery was a success.” He smiled and you nodded, reaching for his hand to hold to make sure it was your reality. 
“We’re going to move you to your recovery room now, but you did really well.” The young nurse cheered with so much excitement, there were tears in his eyes. He was a complete stranger that just saved your life, yet he was even crying for you.
“T-Than-k yo-u.” You barely made out and he patted your shoulder. You shut your eyes again and felt the bed move and the voice of Hoseok calling after you as natural light hit your eyelids.
Several hours after the surgery and going over the post-surgery care, you carefully sat up in bed. Hoseok had to leave, but the two stayed. Jennie held onto you tighly, and Jimin blinked at you with stars in his eyes. But the thought you had while you were close to death never left your mind. 
“There is something I need to talk to you about.” You began, and Jimin and Jennie shared glances. “There was a lot to think about when I went under, my heart stopped for a few minutes and I was so close to my death. All I saw were our memories. I saw you two, but... something inside of me longed for something else, something more.” 
“If it’s not the three of us, then I don’t want to be in an individual relationship with either of you. That would mean making me choose and I don’t love one more than the other. It’s either both of you or neither. I will always love you two with all that my heart has to offer, but my life is so valuable and I need someone who is going to recognize that. I realized that the best for us is that there simply is no us. I love you both so much, I really do, but right now is not the right time. I’ll never forget us. ”
“Jennie, you were the first girl I love. Jimin, you were the first boy I love. But throughout it all, I won’t try to remember us. Maybe we’ll realize each other’s worth once we’re ready for it and we’ll be new people when we meet again.”
Jennie didn’t let go of your hand, instead, she nodded to every single word that you poured from your heart. “If that’s what you think is the best option for us, then I’ll accept your decision.” She agreed and no longer shed any more tears. She knew it was for the better, even if it did break her heart.
With a turn of events, Jimin was actually the one crying this time. Jimin’s tears spilled down his plump, supple cheeks. It was difficult for him to talk.. it was difficult for him to express how he felt in general. “I felt so regretful because I thought I was going to lose you forever when I was ready to trade my life for your’s. I’m just happy you’re alive and breathing. I respect your decision and I think that you’ll always know what’s best for us three.” 
Your heart was healing, bit by bit. The shock of almost death woke you up and you no longer wanted to be trapped in something that didn’t seem to work out well anymore. It was time for an end. It was time for change and you were more than thankful to have Jennie and Jimin, who loved you so much, they were willing to let you go and live life with no more regrets. 
Jennie smiled before gently kissing your hand, “I’m unsure how long me and Jimin would’ve lasted without you, but we were two people who fell out of love for each other, but back in love through you. I want you to know that even though you felt like you didn’t belong in our relationship, you were actually the connection between us. You were the reason there was an us.”
It was an epiphany ---- you were not the outlier in the relationship. You were the core center. Jennie and Jimin were more than thankful to have you in their lives, who loved them so much, that you were willing to look past their differences and to fight through every trial. 
“You were the reason there was an us.” That single line replayed in your thoughts, in a constant loop. And you smiled at Jimin and Jennie, the monitor beeping being the only noise in the room.
“I love you both, don’t you ever forget that.”

thoughts during quarantine (day 17?)
so this whole quarantine thing has been interesting. the first week I felt great, worked out hard every day, cleaned/cleaned out a whole bunch of stuff in my apartment that was long overdue (overall deep clean plus taking everything out of every drawer/cabinet in my kitchen and bathroom, cleaning them, and reorganizing stuff plus finally cleaning up my living room), and felt great. then the second week hit and it all went downhill. I binged three days in a row and didn’t move much those days. my sleep hasn’t been great since I've been binge watching bones “because it’s being taken off amazon prime in a few days” but let’s be real, we all know that’s not the true reason (my mental health is not doing well so I'm numbing by getting lost in that world rather than deal with the problems going on in this one) and staying up way too late doing that but still getting up at 5am every morning so I knew I was headed for a crash really soon so I self imposed one on myself when I woke up at 11am and figured by the time I took the Vyvanse and it kicked in, I would be up all night again so I skipped it and spent the day mostly asleep (legit closed my eyes and woke up again at 5pm.... if that doesn’t say I was tired and needed the sleep, I don't know what does). When I was awake, I was stuffing any carb I could find into my face and fought to keep my eyes open the minimal time I was awake but then yesterday I felt so much better. I got up at the normal 5am wake up time, cleaned/tidied the apartment, went for an hour and 20min walk outside in the sun, had a lovely FaceTime call with my mom and Charlie which was beyond needed, then did a quick arm workout while we had our quarantine dance party in the courtyard, then passed out on the couch for a nap way too late but was still showered, hair dried, and in bed by 10pm. Plus I hit my macros for the day and drank my gallon of H20 so I crushed it yesterday. Looking forward to doing it all again today, just a little different. I’m really glad I let myself have those couple of days to just chill and recover so I felt like I was more in control of it vs being helpless/a victim to it and making myself feel bad about it. I also made myself a habit checklist thing in my journal for the month so that’s been helping keep me accountable since we all know my competitive side wants to see all of those boxes filled in every day haha. Gotta work with things like that and use it to my advantage right? 
We just got word that we won’t be going back to work until at least May 1st and honestly I’m not sure how to feel about it. At first I was all excited that we were being quarantined and couldn’t go to work because I was beyond run down and needed the time off since I had just dealt with a 4 day migraine/depression spree that left me bed bound due to stress and being overworked so my body was just done. Now that I've relaxed, done most of what I wanted to get done around the apartment and bills are coming in, this is when the stress has started to rise. Not only are all of these things happening but now I'm bored and antsy and feel like I should be doing so much more but that’s the problem - there isn’t much I can do and there’s only so many walks I can go on and workouts I can do to occupy my time while not just sitting on my ass all day. Plus when all you’ve been doing is watching shows and youtube videos, it gets to a point where you feel like you’ve watched them all and its no longer entertaining. Plus it’s just another day of the same old shit and I'm just over it to be honest. I don’t want to go back to work but I also can’t just sit here and do nothing anymore, now it’s no longer helping my anxiety but fueling it. I’m trying my best to stay positive and keep myself busy but like I said, there’s only so many face masks I can do where they’ll actually have a benefit and not be for nothing. 
Also I don’t have many feelings about the whole pandemic in general. like you’d think that since there’s this huge issue which is like nothing I've ever dealt with in my life I'd be a lot more panicked and freaking out but nope, I'm just numb. I was bored so I did the enneagram test and got type 9 which is the mediator/stabilizer aka I just want everyone to be chill and will go along with whatever so to avoid conflict (sounds about right). Then I read about our coping mechanisms and found this “Nines use narcotization to avoid conflict, manage their anger and maintain a self-image of being comfortable or harmonious. Even productive activities can keep Nines sedated if they become too habitual.” and umm yeah I've never felt more understood yet attacked after reading that and the whole profile of a 9. The funny thing is that I'm a 9 with a 1 wing so it’s like I'm mainly a 9 but also have characteristics of a 1 which is the perfectionist. So I'm go with the flow, no confrontation but also controlling and want everything to be perfect and done my way.... yeah that explains a lot lol. No wonder my brain is all confused/messed up all the time lol. But I think I've just gotten so “good” at numbing that I can even numb myself to huge world events like this and while I'm glad I'm not a ball of nerves over here freaking out, I’m a little like “scared” that I don’t feel anything, at least not like outright. I know there’s a whole mess of emotions underneath the numbing and I want to bring them out so I can just feel them and not keep them bottled up but I don't know how. I'm going to do some research into how to do that while I have the time and hopefully start to feel things again. Like the fact that my biggest concern during all of this is if they were going to cancel the Luke concert this summer says a lot... like yes I feel bad for all of the people effected by it don’t get me wrong and I'm worried about my family who’s in like the epicenter of the part of the country that got hit the worst but they’re all safe and actually staying inside so I'm not as worried for now about them but like idk it’s just a weird time and I think since it’s all so new I just don’t know how to process it which seems to be a common theme I've seen on social media too so it’s not just me. I think it really hit me hard when I went on a walk to downtown and in the middle of the day on a Sunday I was basically the only person on broadway and all the bars and stuff were closed and there wasn’t any country music playing at all... it was like a ghost town. then I walked over the bridge and saw a few other people but not many and while I did get some pretty sick pictures, it just felt so weird to be so alone in what I always think of as how crazy it is on New Years. To go from barely being able to walk on the sidewalks and it taking 30 mins just to get off broadway in an uber to it being a ghost town was shocking. Not gunna lie I wasn’t that mad once I got over that feeling because it was the perfect scenario for me - getting to enjoy my city and be downtown without a billion people and just being able to breathe and not have it be all crazy down there but relaxing instead. 
So yeah this was all over the place but what else is new. I’ll be back tomorrow since i’m really going to try to focus on my mental/physical health during this time off so I can stay sane during this and come out of it better than I was before. Okay that’s it. See ya tomorrow

question/dilemma
so there’s this bullshit ~leadership retreat~ thing tomorrow that lasts like 9 fucking hours, it’s all day
and it’s because i’m a student employee on campus. it’s mandatory
BUT
i was never told about it
like AT ALL
it was mentioned in passing to me last week, but i wasn’t told details
i was never emailed about it by my employers, even though other people were
these people ALSO never even received a location 
and i was only forwarded the email about this thing TODAY/this afternoon, which is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY less than 24 hours notice
AAAAAND
i spent the day at the zoo today even though my stomach has been SUUUUPER FUCKED UP all day
i’m literally still recovering from some shit, i still haven’t hit a new equilibrium or normal, i’m still trying to get back into the swing of things
and i have a headache and my back is killing me and my feet hurt and if i have to hear or be around ANY OTHER PEOPLE in the next like 3 days, i’ll punch someone or have a meltdown
i loved the zoo, it was fun, but people are inconsiderate idiots with no spacial awareness and they teach their kids to behave the same fucking way 
so i’m fucking exhausted
i was given less than 24 hours notice
and no one in charge EVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS  
even though it’s fucking mandatory
my mom is pretty firmly in the “you absolutely do not have to go, fuck them, they can’t fire you” camp
i really really REALLY do NOT want to go AT ALL. but i’m also really worried about what might happen if i don’t.
has anyone worked on their college campus before? what’s the fucking deal? there’s no one i can reach out to at SUCH FUCKING SHORT NOTICE for information, there’s nothing i can find online (IT’S NOT EVEN ON A FUCKING SCHOOL CALENDAR, THERE’S NOTHING ANYWHERE)
i am literally ON THE FUCKING PAYROLL FOR TWO SEPARATE JOBS and i NEVER got ANY information about this goddamn thing 
i’m already hired, i’m already on the payroll, I’M ALREADY WORKING, i don’t know WHAT this is (it’s 50% team building exercises based on the shitty completely uninformative “email” that was forwarded to me)
but they say it’s mandatory
and i’m in possibly the WORST state to have to do this
i already have to do ANOTHER one of these specifically for one of my jobs, and that’s in a couple of weeks, and tbh, like, fuck this??? i’ll do that one. that one has specific job training.
THIS ONE WILL NOT. LIKE IT LITERALLY CAN’T. IT’S FOR EVERYONE FOR EVERY JOB. 
so just. idk.
what’s y’all’s thoughts i guess.
telling me without any factual basis in reality that i’ll 100% get fired will not help me at all. 
this is 1000000% THEIR fault. i know i won’t miss anything important. but i’m worried it’ll look bad or they’ll ~punish~ me somehow, even though it’s literally not my fault at all. 
so idk.
i’m asking for opinions.
i need to take care of myself.
i need to sleep in my bed with my weighted blanket and not DO anything. and just buy my school books and sleep and eat food and relax and play games and listen to podcasts n shit. 
i can’t Do anything right now.
we went to the zoo bc we’ve been meaning to for ages and the weather was incredible today. 
idk i’m fucking rambling and at this point i feel like i’m trying to convince myself. i guess maybe i have.
i’m just anticipating some kind of phone call like ‘where are you what are you doing you’re supposed to be here’
and me going
“yeah well i was given less than 24 hours notice, i’m sick, and i don’t even have a way to make it to campus today. take it up with [person from one job] and [person from the other job] for not informing me about this at all. i had to hear about it secondhand with almost no information, yesterday.”
so fuck. idk

Leegaa for the ship thing? I know i'm a little late XD
no you’re not late!! there’s never an expiration date on ask memes i reblog ♥
all 45 questions under the cut
1. Who's the one who's reckless and always getting into trouble while the other gotta pull em out
of course lee is the one getting into all kinds of shenanigans while gaara watches from the background until lee gets into real trouble and he has to save him
2. Who's the one to send the other "I love my gf/bf" memes
they both do it, but lee even more so because he’s such an open person, while whenever gaara sends it he gets really embarrassed
3. Who's the one who listens to a music genre the other doesn't like and how does the other react
lee is into fighting movie soundtracks.. they’re always a bit too intense for gaara
4. Which one spoils the other more and do they ever get competitive to show the other more love
lee competes with himself on how much he can love gaara. “if i cannot manage to give gaara 50 hugs today, then i must shower him with 100 kisses tomorrow!!”
5. How many years did it take to get married or was it just not for them
idk if they’d ever want to get officially married but they’re definitely partners for life
6. What was their wedding like
IF they had a wedding, it’d be a large affair on gaara’s side since he’s the kazekage, while there’d be a bit less people on the konoha side but everyone would be really happy since it’s like one of the purest affairs ever gdghdfh
7. Is their friends/family supportive
of course!! kankuro and temari are a little iffed that gaara snagged the weirdest dude in konoha but they’re happy that lee is honorable and definitely stays by his word to love and cherish gaara ‘til even after death
8. How does one comfort the other when the other is in distress/having a panic attack/crying
lee always grits his teeth and wishes gaara’s anxiety and PTSD episodes could be a physical entity he could beat up, but instead he rubs his back and gives him big hugs until he calms down
9. Which one dissociates
gaara.. sigh
10. Which one stares at the other's booty like "damn" and how does the other react when catching them
i guess gaara, since lee is way too innocent to think about that kinda stuff (most of the time), but it’s only because lee wears such tight jumpsuits that it’s hard not to notice his glorious glutes
11. When they live together what kinda place do they live in? What does their home look like?
lee would probably move to live with gaara since he has a lot of responsibilities to take care of, and their house would be a quaint little wooden shack with lots of plants and stuff
12. What do their dates look like
flowers, gardening, kisses
13. How does each act when getting drunk
gaara acts even quieter than usual when he’s drunk but he’s much more active, using his actions to convince lee of the things he wants to do, whereas lee slurs his words a lot and thinks out loud way too much

leeeeeee

the rocky soundtrack, courtesy of lee

lee always makes them wild and nearly gives poor gaara a heartattack, but it’s also an honest distraction so he tries to have fun
24. Where would they vacation for a honeymoon
anywhere near an ocean
25. Do people ever get annoyed of their pda
maybe a little, pfdhgs, all gaara manages to do is either hold lee’s hand or kiss his cheek, while gaara will profess his love in front of everyone and turn gaara into the shade of his hair

the country!
27. Which ones the red which ones the blue
tough.. i think lee would be red and gaara would be blue

gaara has awful PTSD and sometimes hallucinates, so lee distracts him as best as he can with things gaara likes to do

the spot behind gaara’s ear is a surefire way to make his knees buckle
30. Do they dance together
oh definitely
31. Do they sing together
lee sings loudly whereas gaara’s a whisper-singer
32. Which one is better at cooking than the other and makes most the dinners
they both cook relatively well, but they’re still learning the tough stuff so they alternate making dinner as a way to experiment and gain knowledge from each other
34. Are they a reckless couple or safe
they’re on a constant see-saw of safety and recklessness
35. What be they kinks and do they try each other's kinks
secretly, gaara’s feet are always cold and he has a habit of pressing the soles against the backs of lee’s thighs, which shocks him everytime so they discovered the concept of “sock kink”

flowers, cards, chocolates, teddy bears, the whole shebang
37. Do they get into fights often? If so what do they fight over and how do they make up?

lee’s the top despite being the more innocent one, so when he gets into that mood, hoo boy

they would be absolutely crushed and they would never truly recover from it
43. Who dies first
lee, i think

lee gets excited whenever the topic of children comes up because he really loves them, but gaara is unsure because he didn’t have much interaction with other children in his youth, so he figures he wouldn’t exactly know how to take care of them

recalling past memories and kissing, i think
