Warnings//genre:: fantasy...that's it

Pairing:: nutcracker!jeongin x clara!reader

A/N:: nothing in this fully makes sense or lines up with the plot of the original nutcracker but as I think I have said on here before this Christmas nutcrackers have really interested me so...here we are. And yes ik this is a little weird but I love it so just keep scrolling 😤

Skz masterlist:: 🥁

🎧::

As you ripped the thin red paper off of the box your heart raced with excitement but your expression quickly shifted upon seeing what hid behind the paper. A nutcracker neatly tucked into a box with a plastic window to see the figure. You feel a catch in your breath upon seeing the neatly painted nutcracker and you smile.

"What is that supposed to be?" Your older sister leans in as she sets aside her beautiful doll with a pink dress and curly blond hair.

"He's a nutcracker," you smile before gently opening the box and caressing his face.

"It's a nutcracker? How? It doesn't even have a mustache or tall boots and his hair is orange," your sister takes the nutcracker from your hands to inspect it. You shrug and take it back.

"I love him all the same," you move the little lever in the back of his head to make his jaw move. Your parents and sisters get ready for bed while you stay with your little nutcracker on the floor.

"C'mon it's time to go to bed, I know you're the oldest but you're gonna have to be up early tomorrow for Christmas morning," your mom explains and you set the nutcracker on the stand above the fireplace. You sneak a cookie from the kitchen table before going to bed. You tuck under the sheets and rest your head against the plush of your pillow and the world begins to fade into complete silence and peace.

Suddenly you hear something rattle downstairs. It startles you awake and you make your way out to the hallway, the sound now coming to a halt. You then go to the bathroom and when you finish your business you glance out at the living room. Was the Christmas tree always so large? And the couch?

You carefully tread out to the living room and as you progress you notice you are now the size of a pea. You must be dreaming, a weird dream from the cookie before bed no doubt, but as you examine the living room from a new angle you hear indistinct chatter. Suddenly a big fat rat comes into your view. He's sitting on a small wagon that other mice are carrying. You look stunned as you watch them squeak by.

The king cries on about wanting food before stumbling upon your gaze. He orders the mice to carry him in your direction.

"And who are you? Mrs. Gawking," he puts his hands on his hips and you notice the crown on his head now that he is this close.

"No, no, I am Y/N, I live here," you explain and the rat king laughs.

"Right, right, than why aren't you paying me taxes or rent?" He king huffs and you laugh but your laugh seems to be the only one echoing in the massive living room. "I have not once received food or goodies from you, so why shouldn't I get the guards to take you and throw you out!" The rat king shouts and you chuckle softly but you realize he is serious.

"W-Well because I don't have any," you explain and rat king laughs.

"Likely story," he then orders the mice to take you away but before their grimy hands can come in contact with your body a man steps in front of you.

"What seems to be the trouble here, good sir," A man in a red suit stands before you. He wears a tall hat and lots of gold accessories among his deep red outfit.

"She hasn't been paying me!" The rat king whines and the man nods. As you look at the man closer you notice orange hair peaking out through his hat. Is this...no way.

The nutcracker kindly negotiates with the rat king and he scurries away with his crew of mice slaves.

"Sorry, I could only buy you some time," the nutcracker turns to you, a candy cane staff in his hand.

"Are you..?" You look up at him and the man chuckles hinting at the hidden relation.

"You seem to be lost, very far from home," the nutcracker jokes and you nod.

"Yeah...why is this happening? Why am I here?" You plead him for some answers but he goes silent.

"Honestly...I can't tell you that," he quickly takes your hand. "But I'm warning you now Y/N, you need to leave right now," he looks into your eyes deeply, his boba eyes touching your soul. "It's nearly a war zone down here, the king has lost his mind," the nutcracker sighs with a shake of his head, the accessories on his hat fluttering with the motion.

"I can't simply leave knowing the place is in chaos," you explain, silently pleading to stay with him. He thinks for a moment before taking a deep breath.

"You can take care of it when you get back to your bigger self. Just pick up the rat king and throw him outside," the nutcracker puts a hand to your shoulder and you think about his advice. "That way no one else will get harmed and it'll be much easier on your body," he winks before taking your hand. "Come, we must get you back to bed,"

"But I'm not tired yet," you protest with a shake of your head as you pull your hand back. The nutcracker then tucks his staff away.

"Either way you need to get somewhere safe," the nutcracker grabs your hand again, softer this time with less urgency. He starts to walk you back to your room but the walk is far with such short legs. As you walk hand in hand you look over up at him, taking in his strong and bold facial features and his contrasting soft orange hair.

"So...do you have a name?" You lean forward a little to get a better view at him.

"Jeongin," he smiles and you're taken aback.b

"An interesting name for a nutcracker," you look up at him before shrugging and he chuckles. He didn't sound offended by your comment which was good.

"You think so hm?" He smiles at you with a tilt of his head.

"Do you know why this is happening?" You ask again though you know you won't receive much of an answer.

"Who can say, darling," he lets go of your hand to trot ahead of you. "Maybe so you can get a feel for how to be treated by a gentleman," he bows in front of you. "Or maybe to teach you to be grateful for what you have?" He jumps to stand next to you again and you pause before getting offended.

"I'm very grateful for what I have!" You retort back quickly.

"Then maybe it's the first option?" He raises a brow with a little smirk. "Ah and here we are, we must part at last my love," he says as he stops by your bedroom door.

"How am I supposed to get to my bed when I'm so small?" You look over at your bed which now looks more like a building due to your shrunken size. Jeongin thinks for a moment before smiling. He kisses you softly and you jump back. "What was that for?"

"To turn you back to normal," he tilts his head with a cheeky smile before everything goes dark and you hear shouting in the distance. You sit up quickly and realize you are in the comfort of your bed. You look out the window to see snow fluttering down. You hear your sisters outside your bedroom shouting about Christmas morning and Santa. You stand up and yawn, the dream you had sinking in deep and you notice a little mouse in the corner of your room wearing a tiny crown.

You look wide eyed and chase after it but it scurries behind your dresser and presumably into the wall.

Perhaps it wasn't entirely a dream?

HUZZAH!!! 

Warning: There is a lot of vulgar language in this short fic. You’ll see why because I get the feeling y’all will enjoy it in the context. 

Alright here we go! 

Masterlist

Kensington

Janurary 2nd 1974

Let’s see the archies go right here and..and..The Amboy Dukes go right here! Finally got a good supply of The Amboy Dukes and I know they’re going to sell out quickly. Walking around the stand to then open up the curtains for the front window.

Moving my way back over behind the counter to make sure the registrar was ready for the day. After the registar I began going through the records of the day stack to see Aurora Borealis by Jigsaw next in line. Not my favorite album in the world but it’s decent for an opening time slot. Sliding the record out of the sleeve to then place it on the turntable for the needle to gently place it down.

The delivery truck should be here any second since we’ve got a new shipment of magazines coming in today. There’s an issue that people have been asking about that feature The Who and apparently more secrets will be unlocked about them. It’s mostly the same information just told in different forms.

Last step is to unlock the front door! Grabbing my keys that I left on the counter. Walking to the door to unlock it. After unlocking it I flipped the open side then plugged in the christmas lights that were hung around the window of the shop. With it being only noon I won’t really see anybody till four.

One hour…

Had some grumpy old man come in to yell at me for not having Doris Day in stock when in fact we did..just not what he wanted exactly. You’d be surprised how often that happens here and each time it’s just nitpicking for solo vinyls from people that aren’t even printed at the moment. If this is how today is going then I’m ruined for the day!

Two hours later...

It took almost two hours for a group of tourists to come in and mess up half of my cleaning from this morning! Stupid Americans. They thought it would be fun to rummage through The Beatles trying to find anything exclusive since it’s England. (It’s not the first time it’s happened but it gets extremely annoying after a while.)

The record ended for it was time to change the record. Hmm let’s see what else we got here today. Peggy Lee is perfect! Pulling the vinyl from the sleeve to gently place it on the turntable. The snapping began as I began swinging my hips back and forth a little.

Never know how much I love you

Never know how much I care

When you put your arms around me

I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever,

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever

In the mornin', a fever all through the night

Sliding from behind the counter to slowly dance throughout the store as I began checking the stock of everything on the floor. Sashaying over to the blues section of the shelf to start going through them.

Sun lights up the day time

Moon lights up the night

I light up when you call my name

And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever,

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever

In the mornin'

A fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever

That is somethin' you all know

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started a long ago

Ah the key change. One of my favorite moments in this song. My hips swayed back and forth as I slowly worked my way through the aisle till the door opened. Immediately stopping as the small group came into the shop. Turning around from the shelf to see that they were circling around the shelves nicely.

“Welcome to Itty Bitty Records.” Greeting with a smile as I began going down Ike Turner's collection as they began looking around.

“Um excuse me?” The man stood next to me as he had really curly hair and stood tall like a giant before me goodness.

“What can I help you with?” Smiling as I turned to face him.

“Do you have any Mungo Jerry?” He asked as I had to think for a second.

“We do actually.” Motioning him to follow as we made it to the “M'' section for me to try to find them. Ma..Me...Mo...Mungo Jerry!

“Right there. Now I am expecting a shipment to be delivered in the next week if you’re looking for something specific of his?” He looked at the few records that were there and smiled at me.

“This is good. Thank you.” He smiled as I walked back over to the Blues section to finish where I left out. Definitely need a lot more Aretha Franklin in this shop or I might go mad.

“Excuse me?” Looking up to see another customer who wore a huge fur coat with his hair about shoulder length. It was pretty blonde but sort of odd to see a man in such a big fur coat to come into my store. Normally if they’re looking into records they head into more of the London London area.

“Do you have The Surfaris?” Not a lot of people listen to them. Mostly because they were really popular in California and I think that’s literally it for popularity. I find them interesting with a fun old sound that people still enjoy.

“We do. Didn’t think anyone listened to them on our side of the woods.” Commenting as we walked over the “S” section.

“Sort of a sucker for the classics.” He commented as we rounded the corner into the “S” Shelf.

“Most people our age would call you an old chap. Right here.” Pointing at them with my pencil.

“Fantastic you have Hit City. Is it 65’?”

“Yes. We have a first edition in the back if you’re interested.” He formed a huge smile on his face as that was my cue to go and get it.

“Give me a few minutes.” Smiling as he went back to looking at the records. I walked back into the back to begin looking for the box I usually keep them in.

IT should be around here somewhere. Making it into the back as I was skimming up and down on the shelf looking for one of the original boxes. Is it more back than I thought it would be and I can’t exactly leave the front alone this long.

C’mon...you sneaky little devil where are you hiding?

FOUND IT!

Reaching up to grab the box labeled 10 y/o originals. Should definitely be in here since it only arrived the past two three years. And again no one is going after The Surfaris. If it was anything major mainstream then I would be worried for him.

Walking back out onto the floor to see him waiting patiently at the counter for the record. I went around the counter to open the box and start going through all the records that are in there. It’s a little more dusty than I enjoy it but it’s a good reminder when my workers come in to take over that I can stay later and go through everything.

“Let’s see..we’ve got an original Yardbirds, Velvet Underground, Juicy Lucy who I will make sure plays next. Ummm..” I kept going through them till I saw the yellow truck and red lettering of the album.

“So why The Surfaris? Some small band from California?” Asking him as I handed him the record.

“Nothing was more fascinating than surfing rock. It sort of helps with the gray winters of home.” This is true. England does get rather gloomy and very bright music can always make those gray clouds fly away.

“To think the Americans went from surfing music to heavy rock in a matter of ten years.” We laughed as I noticed that his eyes were...were these beautiful blue pools. Almost like beautiful sapphires.

“If you’re interested I’ve got plenty of more originals in the back. More than just American surfing music.” Smiling at him as I offered him to look into the box.

“I would definitely be interested. Can I put my coat somewhere?” He asked as I pointed over to the coat rack.

“Roger by the way.” He smiled as he took off his coat with a long striped scarf.

“Anya.” Smiling as his group of friends he came in with approached him by the coat rack.

“I’ll be a little bit. Meet you there at the studio around six.” His group left as I began pulling out the rest of the records from the box.

“You seem like a trustworthy chap. Do you mind if I leave you in charge of the front. Just don’t let anyone steal anything please while I get a few more boxes.” Asking him as I am hoping he doesn’t rob me either.

“Of course.” Nodding as I walked from behind the counter to then hurry into the back.

Grabbing the small step ladder for me to start grabbing boxes from the shelf and placing them on the ground. I really need to take a few days and go through all this junk, maybe save me some money on orders if I have almost originals in here. I wouldn’t even sell them for that much more than the ones I already have, just a few more extra pounds maybe.

Lightly kicked the door open to carry two cases of records to then towards the counter. He was already looking through the ones I laid out for him to look at. I’m taking a wild guess that he’s some musician and a very dedicated one to that fact. Or he’s a conicor kind of person who wants to get his hands on this stuff before it comes obsolete.

“These should be good for now. Thank you Anya.” He smiled as I opened the lid of the boxes. He was smiling the entire time as I began going through them to see the amount of records that I had so far in the back. His smile is really cute and it brings a nice warmth into the store.

“The Chocolate Watchband? Holy hell it’s been a few since I listened to them.” I completely forgot about them. I love psychedelic rock but there were so many these past five years that it’s hard to remember each and every one of them.

“There’s something that I’ve noticed with a lot of these types of bands Roger. Their band name has some sort of food in it, guess when the acid is gone you get the serious taste of the munchies.” He chuckled a little to then go through half of the bands.

“The Chocolate Watchband, The Lemon Pipers, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Chicken Shack, and Apple Pie Motherhood?” I don’t think I’ve listened to them before actually.

“Let’s hear it.” He handed me the record as I took off Peggy Lee who to then replace it with their 1968 record. That’s also called Apple Pie Motherhood. The first song that was played was Born Under a Bad Sign. It definitely reminds me of watching Woodstock on the television.

“Let us not forget Vanilla Fudge.” Roger showed me as he did a little jazz hand underneath the record. I just noticed..he has beautiful hands. Not a lot of men have just hands..but they look so rough around the edges. They look stunning. 

“Good god this was my first record I think I bought for the store. I’m not surprised that it’s still here. They were a little too hard and felt like they we’re trying too hard. After working in this store for two three years now I can definitely tell when a band is trying too hard or not.

“Do you think this decade will be any better than the previous one?” I asked Roger for him to perk up at my question.

“Well think about it. The movement in California changed music. Little Richard and Elvis Presley brought blues back into light, Lucille Bogan showed that you can write literally whatever you want.”

“Lucille Bogan?” Oh my god Lucille Bogan!

“Lucille Bogan! The raunchy blues singer?” He drew a blank as I practically ran around the counter and towards the Blues section. Bogan bogan bogan AH HA! Snatching it from the shelf to then back to the turntable. Practically tossing off the record from the turntable to replace it with Lucille Bogan.

“Now just listen to the lyrics, let the lyrics flow through you Roger.” Placing the needle down to then watch the show before me. I know Roger is going to be shocked when he hears this song.

I got a man I love

I got a man I like

Everytime I fuck them means

I give ‘em the doggone clap! Oh baby!

His eyes widened for him to take a look at the album cover.

Give ‘em the doggone clap

But that’s the kind of pussy that they really like!

“Jesus Christ Anya!” He laughed. But we couldn’t stop listening to it because it’s just so fantastic!

I told him I gotta have a good cock!

And it’s got four damn good names!

Rough top

Rough cock

Tough cock

Cock with a bone!

“Dear God Anya! How much?” Looking at the front of the album then back at him.

“Fifteen pounds?” Roger immediately pulled out his wallet to hand me the money. Opening the register to give him back his change, with the music still playing around in the background. Till I took the needle off the record to pack it up for him.

“Listen. What time are you out of here?” Roger asked which made me gulp a little.

“Four. Why?” I could feel the rush of blood going through my body at an alarming rate.

“Come by Trident Studios around six if you would like to.” He offered as he placed a small card on the counter.

“Okay. I will definitely be there.” Smiling as he walked over to the coat rack to put on his fur coat then scarf.

“See you later Anya.”

“Bye Roger!” Smiling and waving to him as he left the store.

What just happened?

[you-and-i-for-forever]

Hello there! Quick question: do you take requests? If so, may I request for a newsies fluff with either jojo x reader, race x reader, or crutchie x reader? Thank you!

Aaaaaaah! Thank you for sending me a request!! Sorry it took me like 2 months to finally post this! I decided on a race x reader for this one and I feel like I’m gonna write a part two for it!

Thechurch doors swung open with a shove. You took a few staggering steps forward,much to the shock of the three nuns who were inside, getting ready to shut downfor the night.

Yourdress was dripping water and you were shaking, frozen by the sheets of rainthat had drenched you outside.

Thethree nuns rushed to you and ushered you into the church further, closing andlocking the doors behind you.

“Areyou alright?” One of the nuns asked.

“Whathappened to you?” Another nun asked.

“They-they left me.” You were able to get out between chattering teeth.

Thenuns exchanged concerned glances.

“I’llgo get her some dry clothes,” One said and scurried off into a hallway

“I’llget her something warm to eat and drink,” Another one said and went off in anotherdirection.

“Towelstoo, Sister.” The nun who stayed with you called out.

She rested her hand on your forehead andsmiled a little. “No fever, that’s good, we might still get a doctor for youthough.”

Sheheld out her hand and you took it and were led past all the pews, to the frontof the steeple.

Thenun stopped and bowed her head and brought her hands together in prayer.

“Thankyou, Lord, for bringing this lost and depraved child to us.” She whispered

Youlowered your head, but your brain didn’t produce a thought.

Thenuns who had run off came back, carrying supplies.

Theydried you off and dressed you in a warm nightgown with a cloak. They insistedon spoon feeding you warm broth and some soft bread.

Thenuns brought up to a small bedroom and laid you down on a thinly padded bed.They started to read from you a section of the Bible, nothing you recognized,until you fell asleep.

-

Ithad been a few days since you had arrived at the church. The nuns had said youcould stay with them as long as you needed to and that they were happy to haveyou.

MotherAlice, one of the nuns you had met when you first arrived at the church, didsay that you needed to pick up some chores while you stayed there.

“We’llhave you help with washing, cooking, cleaning, and getting ready for service onSundays. Is that alright with you?” she asked.

“Yes,Mother Alice,” You said, glad to be helping after all the nuns had done foryou.

“Alrightmy child, you will accompany the sisters this morning with giving handouts.”

Younodded and followed Sister Sarah and Dorothy to the kitchen.

“Wegive the working children some of the leftovers from the services. We neverhave time to make them anything fresh, which is disappointing, but at least wecan give them something.” Sister Dorothy told you.

Thesisters handed you a large silver tray full of tin mugs filled with coffee,biscuits, and doughnuts.

Itlooked…very unappetizing. The coffee wasn’t even hot anymore and nothing on thetray looked very fresh. Maybe you could ask Mother Alice if there was somethingyou could do about it.

“Comealong [Y/N]” Sister Sarah said, leading you out the door of the church and downa few streets.

Youmade your way to an opening, a square where people were milling about. You sawa large group of boys laughing and jumping around.

Yourecognize them as the newsies in this part of town.

“HiyaSistas!” One of the boys called when he saw the nuns and the boys all came overto you and the sisters.

Thenuns handed each one of the newsies a cup of coffee and a piece of food.

“Thereyou are, Finch,” Sister Sarah said, giving a boy, who already looked a littlefidgety before coffee, his handout.

Youcame around the side of the nuns, not that you really had been hiding before,but now you knew what to do.

“Well,hello there,” one of the boys called and suddenly all the newsies eyes snappedto where you were standing, seeming to know the tone that the boy’s toneindicated; a girl.

Afew of the boys whistled and looked you up and down.

“Coffee?”You asked, offering a cup to the boy who stood in front of you, a blushcreeping over your face at the attention.

Notthat it wasn’t wanted, all the boys were very handsome, but it was embarrassingthat it was happening in front of the nuns.

“Didn’tcatch your name sweetheart?” A taller boy with dark hair asked, looking down atyou with a charming smile.

“[Y/N]”You said, handing him a cup of his own.

“Niceto meet ya,” He said, tipping his cap at you “Wes the Manhattan newsies, I’mJack Kelly.”

“AndI’m Mush!” A boy from next to him said.

“I’mHenry.” Another chimed in.

Soonall the boys had spouted off their names. There were a lot of them; Elmer,Crutchie, Kid Blink, Sniper, Ike, Mike, and at least a dozen more.

“Niceto meet you all.” You said with a smile.

“So,you a nun or what?” Albert, if you were remembering his name right, asked.

“No,just living at the church for now.” You explained.

“Wellif shes is at the church, Imma stop in for the next service,” Romeo joked.

Therest of the boys made noises in agreement.

“Absolutelynot!” Sister Dorothy said, “If you don’t come for our Lord, you don’t come atall.”

Thenewsies all snickered.

“Hey!What’s a fella got to do to get his food around here?” A voice called frombehind the wall of newsies.

Afew boys moved aside and let another one through.

Hehad a cigar stuck in between his teeth and he was rubbing sleep out of hiseyes.

Theboy looked at you before looking down at his coffee cup. His eyes quicklyflashed back up to your face.

“RacetrackHiggins, nice to meet ya.” He said, blowing cigar smoke out of the side of hismouth. He offered you his hand to shake and once you took it, he plucked thecigar from his lips and kissed the back of your hand.

Youfelt your face flush more and you giggled an introduction. The other boysgroaned and rolled their eyes.

“IfI had known such a pretty girl was going to be serving breakfast today, I wouldhave arrived sooner.” He said with a smile.

Racewas very attractive, to say the least. Curly blonde, blue eyes, a boyish face.

“I’mafraid breakfast isn’t too exciting.” You said, looking down at the sadhandouts left on your tray.

“I’mused to curdled coffee and molding doughnuts,” Race said with a shrug andwaited patiently while you handed him his cup. He took a sip and crinkled hisnose “Okay, well maybe not too use to it.”

“I’mgoing to start helping with the cooking at the church and I was planning onasking Mother Alice if I could start making fresh handouts.” You said.

“Well,I’m sure whatevas you make will be good,” Race said, moving in a little bitcloser to you. He was almost pressed up against the metal tray you wereholding, your faces very close.

“Race!Come on!” Albert called.

Racelooked over his shoulder to find all the newsies giving their cups back to thenuns and speeding off.

“Sorrygorgeous, I gotta run but, I’ll sees ya tomorrow?” He asked before downing therest of his coffee.

“Yeah,tomorrow.” You said as you watched him run to catch up with the other boys.

-

AskingMother Alice if you could make fresh food for the newsies was answered by abeaming smile.

“Yes,as long as you are still able to do all your other chores. We’ve always wantedto have freshly made handouts for those children, but we never seem to have thetime. Seems like this job will suit you just fine.”

Yousmiled and thanked her and started to plan out what you were going to make. Ittook a few days of the newsies having to continue to eat old food and a trip tothe marketplace, but you were finally ready for the next morning.

Youwere able to convince Mother Alice to let you make slightly bigger portions andeven add a little cinnamon to the doughnuts to give them some taste.

Youmade them all the food they had had before, but now fresh out of the oven themorning of. You brewed coffee for them and made sure it was as hot as possible,so it was still warm by the time you took it out to newsies.

Thelook on the boys faces that morning was well worth you having to get yourselfup two hours earlier than you usually would.

“Look!The coffee is actually steaming!” Kid Blink exclaimed.

“Theseis so soft!” Mike said, eating his doughnut.

“Isthat cinnamon?” Crutchie asked, looking down at the tray.

Younodded, a large smile on your face.

Youpassed out the food and drinks to the boys and they happily, and noisily, ateit.

Youstill had one handout left on your plate and you smiled when you saw who thelast newsie was.

Raceswaggered up to you and took the doughnut that was left for him. He took a biteout of it and closed his eyes.

“Thisis so good, have you had any yet?” He asked, licking his lips free of cinnamon

“No,everything I’ve made is for you,” you said “…you all. Everyone, I mean.”

“Well,yous has got to have just one taste.” Race moved his doughnut so it was rightat your mouth.

Youglanced between him and the treat before moving to take a small bite of it.

Racesmiled and moved his other hand up to run his thumb over the corner of yourmouth, wiping away a crumb you weren’t sure was really there.

“Ain’tyou just us newsies miracle?”

-

That’show this whole thing began. You woke up early every morning, made the food forthe newsies, served the food to the newsies, and had Race flirt with you for awhile.

Hewas…very hard to resist. Not that you wanted to. It’s just that the nuns werealways right there when it was happening, and it was very embarrassing.

Youhad a plan today though, a way to be able to see Race, without the Sisterswatching you.

-

“[Y/N]!”Sister Eunice called, knocking on the open kitchen door. “It’s almost time toleave.”

Youquickly piled the trays up with food and poured the coffee into the mugs.

SisterSarah and Dorothy both came into the kitchen to get their trays and you followedthem out of the church.

Youfollowed the nuns until you got to newsies square and saw all the newsboysjumping all over each other and laughing loudly.

“Hey,Sistas!” One of the newsies, Elmer called out and the newsies were suddenlysurrounding you and the nuns.

“Hello,Sista [Y/N],” Mush said with a teasing smile as you handed him a cup and abiscuit.

“HelloMush,” you said.

“How’sit going today?” Tommy Boy asked.

“Sameas usual,” you replied, giving him his handout, “What about you?”

“Askme after they put up the headline,” he said and took a sip of his coffee.

“Niceto see ya looking so gorgeous today [Y/N],” Romeo said as he came forward,offering his hand to you. You placed a cup in it instead of your own.

“Thankyou, Romeo,” You said, shooing him away.

Onceyou turned to the next person, you came face to face with Race.

Hewas somehow looking even more handsome than usual today.

“Hiya,”he said with a charming smirk, his cigar hanging off his lip.

“HiRacetrack,” you said, feeling your face instantly heating up.

Hereached forward and seemed to purposefully brush his fingers over yours whilehe took the coffee cup from your hand.

Hetook a long sip, keeping eye contact with you the entire time.

“Now,that’s good coffee,” he said, licking his lips. “How do you always get itright, Doll?”

“Secretingredient,” You said, face flushed.

“Ohyeah, what might that be?” Race said, leaning in closer with a wide smile onhis face “Extra love?”

Yousmiled, “No, just sugar.”

“Well,I wouldn’t mind getting some extra sugar.” Race said with a cocky smile as heleaned in even closer to you.

“Race!”Sister Sarah said sternly “How about instead of flirting with [Y/N], you finishup and go do your job.”

“Yes,Sista!” Race said with a mock salute and downed his coffee, “See ya tomorrow.”

Racereached out and ran his hand down your arm as he set his coffee cup down andwinked at you.

“Wait,Racetrack,” You said and reached forward, taking his hand. He looked down atyour connected hands and then back at you, looking surprised.

“Itwas nice seeing you,” You squeezed his hand, pressing a piece of paper into hispalm.

Hesmiled at you and quickly took his leave; you could see his hand with the paperin it clamped tightly shut.

-

Thatnight, just as the sun had set, you heard a small thunk on your window. You pushed back the curtains and saw Racestanding on the ground, squinting up into the dark window to see if he couldspot you, your note in hand.

Youquietly opened the window and stepped out onto the balcony. Race smiled andpulled his hat off.

“Hi,”He whispered loudly.

“Hiyourself,” you replied.

“Ifeel like I should recite some poetry or something. Do you like Romeo andJuliet?” Race said, running a hand through his hair.

Youswung one of your legs over the balcony railing then the other one, “Just helpme get down from here.”

Raceslapped his hat back on and reached his hands up to you. You thought it wasgoing to be an awkward shimmy off the balcony, but once Race had his hands onyour waist, he gracefully swung you down to the ground.

Youblushed and straightened out your dress.

Raceoffered you his arm, which you gladly took, and the two of you snuck off thechurch grounds.

[ Here’s What I Think About ]

122: War: I think it is dumb. Fighting over cultural difference shouldn’t happen instead it differences should be embraced. Who knows how many different wars there will be in my future let alone my future children’s.


121: George Bush: I honestly don’t have one


120: Gay Marriage: Everyone should be able to marry whomever they love. Why does it have to be voted on whether they can get married or not? Just let them live, be loved, and be happy.


119: The presidential election: It amazes me how he was elected. I am team Hillary. I have my opinions and you have yours. I respect that, but I’d rather not share mine.


118: Abortion: It is 2017, almost 2018, and women still don’t have control of their own bodies. I’m pro-choice. Abortion should be given as a choice to women. My mom had an abortion before she had me because she was really ill.


117: MySpace: haha never used it so don’t have an opinion about it


116: Reality TV: yeah it can be fun to watch but honestly what’s the point? Everyone’s own lives are hectic too


115: Parents: Some are great, some are bad. Some are controlling, some don’t care enough.


114: Back stabbers: I’ve dealt with many of you, but it’s your fault that you lost out on a great friend. Hated you guys for a while because I thought we were good friends, but I’m thankful toxic people like you are out of my life.


113: Ebay: is the shit. I got a crap ton of barbie clothes for my dolls when I was younger from there. Haven’t gone on there for a while tho


112: Facebook: the go-to app for when parents are around. That’s the only most censored app I have that I go on when they’re around


111: Work: wish I had one because all of my friends are making money, but once I get one I’ll wish I didn’t have a job so I can have more free time. It’s not like my parents will let me get a job anyways.


110: My Neighbors: Never really talk to any of my neighbors at my dads or my moms. Pretty sure they get annoyed with how loud I play my music


109: Gas Prices: i remember when it costed $5 or $6 a gallon. Please stay at $2.35 


108: Designer Clothes: hella cool but also hella expensive. Thankful for cute cheap stores because I’m about to be a broke college student


107: College: thankful for the opportunity to get a higher education, but it’s always super expensive. If more jobs require a degree, why can’t we just make it more efficient to get a degree with less money? But that’s also too much to ask for


106: Sports: I like watching it and playing it is also fun. 


105: My family: My parents divorced had me go through shit mentally and physically. (no they didn’t abuse me, their divorce was just difficult) I hope one day you two will stop acting like children and not beat down the other parent when we spend the night at your house. But I know it won’t ever end. I’m thankful my younger brothers won’t remember your divorce and they’re what keeps me going.

104: The future: I can’t wait to see what you hold. I can’t wait to go to college. I can’t wait to go into my career choice. I can’t wait to meet that special person. I can’t wait to start a family. I’m just excited for you

Top 10 Bias Tag

I was tagged by namxjun, thank you so much for tagging me!! (except for Tae, these aren’t in any specific order) I’ll tag anyone that wants to do it, as well as got-7bangtan-boys, jeons-jalebi, kpopsincejune07, loverofotome, oh-suburbia and idkimweirdlikethat

Kim Taehyung/V (BTS)

Tae of course I gotta start off with him bc that’s my boy that’s my main man my ultimate bias, the love of my life, I’m sure I’ve made it pretty obvious how much I love this man, he’s one of my favorite people in the entire universe I adore him so much and I could talk about him all day long and have talked about him all day long, in fact, recently one of my friends messages me and is like “hey you haven’t spoken about Tae in a couple days, you good??” and if that doesn’t show how much I talk about this kid, I don’t know what will he’s v v special to me and always will be (another fun fact, my admin name/nickname is Sae and that’s actually my ship name with Tae)

Lee Jihoon/Woozi (Seventeen)

Okay so here’s the interesting thing about Jihoon to me, typically I bias the really !! member and Jihoon was one of the first people I biased that wasn’t extremely loud and outgoing and hyper all the time and I feel like that’s really cool to me but I really do adore him a lot and I’m so proud of himself, I actually biased him the second I heard him speak, my friend that I mentioned earlier with Tae had gotten into 17 before I did and she was talking about them a lot and she was like you need to get into them so I watched their lil debut show thing and I was immediately attracted to Jihoon bc he had that blonde hair and I think he was in a beanie and it was a tie between him and Hoshi bc I do love me a dancer and then they were doing some self camera thing and Jihoon said something I don’t even remember what it was but the minute I heard his voice clearly, I texted my friend and was like “found my bias” it was so instantaneous it was almost comedic

Han Sanghyuk/Hyuk (Vixx)

One of the first groups I got into was Vixx, I think they may have been the fourth or fifth group?? and I had some issues choosing a bias bc they’re all so cute and funny and like Hongbin exists but then there’s Ken and then there’s just there are too many options for me to choose just one but my bby I gotta it’s Hyogi he’s twice my height and I love it he’s a giant goofball and I love him I always adored him from day one he’s got that lil nose that I wanna kiss a whole bunch and he’s such a lil trouble maker god I love him

Lee Minhyuk (Monsta X)

Monsta X was another group I had issues finding a bias in bc I was really torn between Minhyuk and Hyungwon (even though deep down I knew it was Minhyuk) and eventually, after watching some videos, it was clear to me it was Minhyuk and now I realize it probably always was gonna be bc he is so cute and bubbly but he has such a caring side and he’s sO GOOD WITH KIDS FIGHT ME I WANTED TO FIGHT HIM THE ENTIRE TIME THEY WERE IN THAT PRESCHOOL DAY CARE THING BC HE WAS BEING TOO FUCKING SWEET AND CUTE AND FATHER MATERIAL OH MY G O D

Choi Junhong/Zelo (B.A.P)

I believe B.A.P was the third group I got into, they were one of the first groups I heard about but I tried to resist stanning them bc for some reason, I wanted to only be into one group (EXO) and I was trying really hard to stay in my lane but then Tae came along and once I realized I wasn’t gonna be able to only stan one group and I went back to B.A.P and Zelo was automatically my bias bc I tend to bias the first person I can tell apart from the rest bc I guess I’m paying more attention to them just bc I can actually put a name to the face and Zelo had that curly hair whereas everyone had the straight hair so it was really easy to tell him apart obviously and then I found out about his personality and I was like yep I’m hooked and he can dance and I love dancers he’s a 10/10 tbh

Ahn Heeyeon/Hani (EXID)

THIS GIRL I love her so fucking much I first saw her in the Fire MV with Mad Clown and Jinsil and her stare got me those eyes they’re so piercing and she had this really beautiful look to her and I was like ight who is this and then I checked out EXID and saw her personality and that’s when I knew she was my bias like I have to admit Solji really gets me sometimes and then there’s Junghwa but also cutie Hyorin and then LE and they’re all extremely biasable but Hani man Hani’s such a dorky dork and I love dorky dorks she gives zero shits she can be a tomboy when she wants to be and I love the genuineness of her and the other girls stan EXID tbh

Kim Yugyeom (Got7)

Got7 was either right before Vixx or right after so Yugi was pretty early on as well it took me a hot minute to find my Got7 bias bc at first I was so sure it was BamBam but then JB did the thing but deep down it was always Yugi and once I figured it out it was set I don’t really change biases I don’t think I ever have changed my bias once I find them but Yugi’s so cute and he’s smol so smol but not actually smol bc he’s actually huge but he’s just a huge teddy bear and I love and adore him and I’m so proud of him

Jeon Jiwoo (K.A.R.D)

I’ve stanned her from the first video I watched of them, the Oh Nana dance practice (both versions my eyes were glued onto her) and then I saw her in one of the vlive clips and she was in like all black and her hair was in a ponytail and she was looking nice and I was sold she can dance she can sing she can make a ponytail look real cute I do love me some Somin and of course BM and J.seph but Jiwoo’s my girl

Lee Yeji/Yezi (Fiestar)

Besides Jiwoo, Yezi is probably the most recent person I’ve biased, I started getting really into her when Cider came out (I’m late to the game ik) and I was watching some of her stuff on Unpretty Rapstar and then Fiestar came out with Mirror and Yezi just stole my heart even though the other girls are so fucking cute and pretty and biasable Yezi was just so badass in her rap and she just released a new song and it’s really good highly recommend

Kim Hyuna

I had heard a lot about Hyuna of course but it wasn’t until Crazy came out that I was like o h s h i t I love her personality but then I love that she can completely change when she gets on stage I also really really loved Jihyun I was pretty close to biasing her but Hyuna I gotta Troublemaker was amazing Triple H was amazing 10/10
