“Tommy!” Eddie cheered, lifting his drink toward the sky as he spotted his friend walking toward him. “Whatcha doin' here, Man?”

“Figured I'd stop by and see how you were doing, Bud,” Tommy replied. He gave Eddie a pat on the back as he sat down in the empty seat next to him. “You come here alone?”

“Mhm. Needed ta get out. House's too quiet.”

“How long have you been here?”

“Too long,” the bartender interrupted as he walked by. “Was about to cut him off. I already took his keys.”

Eddie's eyebrows furrowed, looking around the bar counter. “Hey! You took my keys.”

“I got him,” Tommy said, giving the bartender a nod. “I gotta say, at least you're talking better than you're texting. I was worried.”

Eddie's face scrunched up in confusion. “Huh? I never did texted you.”

“Oh, I beg to differ.” Tommy fished his phone out of his jacket pocket and went to his messages. “'Buuuuuuuck, lezz drink, Buddy.' Then five minutes later, 'Bruck, why rn't you at bar? I waiting.' A good two minutes after that you sent me your location with an angry emoji. Then, and this is my personal favorite, 'Loser too busy kissy kissy with Tummy to be a friendship.'”

"Huh. Thought I was textin' Buck.”

“Yeah, I pieced that together.”

“So where's Buck if you're not kissy kissy?” Eddie asked, his final drink sloshing over his fingers as he attempted to bring it to his lips.

Tommy took the drink from Eddie and set it back on the counter. “Evan is watching Jee overnight so Howie and Maddie can have a night away. So, you wanna talk about whatever's bothering you? I mean, I could take a guess, but...”

“Nah. No, no, nope. I wanna,” Eddie pulled at the collar of his shirt. “Lessgo karaoke, Tomboy-”

“We're not calling me that.”

“I wanna sing to the rooftops,” Eddie continued, his words slurring more and more with each sentence. “I wanna. I wanna be, you know, be free, Tommy. I don't have a rea-,” he hiccuped, “reason to get back home.”

“Really? Seems like that's exactly where you need to be right now.”

Eddie's eyes widened, like he'd thought of the best idea in the entire world. “Let's go to Peeping Tom! That's your name!”

“Peeping Tom is a gay bar, Eddie.”

“I don judge.”

“A very kinky, fully nude gay bar,” Tommy clarified.

Eddie squinted, deep in thought. “No karaoke?”

“No karaoke.”

“Well, then were we go? Don't say home!”

“Home.”

“Ugh,” Eddie groaned, allowing Tommy to wrap an arm around his back and help him up. “You're like a no- no fun dad. Wish I'd texted fun dad.”

Tommy gripped onto Eddie tighter as he stumbled while taking a step. He sighed. “Maybe next time.”

*****

When Eddie woke up the next morning it was to a pounding headache and blinding sunlight coming through his window. He was nauseous and his mouth tasted like a mixture of gasoline and mouthwash.

He laid there for a few minutes, trying to figure out what happened that made him feel so unbelievably ill.

After a few failed attempts, he finally rolled out of bed and made his way into the kitchen to fix himself some coffee.

He froze when he walked through the door to see Tommy sitting there, reading the newspaper.

“Good... morning?” Eddie started, confused.

Tommy set the paper down. “Morning. Sleep well?”

“I- I think so, I guess. It's a little blurry.”

Tommy hummed. “Not surprising. Coffee just finished, if you want some. Your couch is not comfortable, by the way.”

“Buck's never complained.”

“Yeah, well, he's easier to please than I am.”

Eddie was too hungover for this. He had so many questions, but for some reason the first one out of his mouth was: “Where'd you put my shoes?”

“In your closet.”

He grabbed himself a cup for some coffee. “My keys?”

“We have to go pick them up at the bar today, along with your car, obviously.”

“You didn't close my curtains last night. Woke up thinking I was being interrogated by Ice T.”

Tommy sighed, leaning back in his seat. “'Thank you so much for getting me home safely, Tommy. Did it hurt your back having to drag me into the house while I belted out Bohemian Rhapsody at the top of my lungs?'” He stood, walking over to Eddie and taking the coffee out of his hand, drinking a big sip. “Thank you for asking, Eddie. I think my back will be okay, but my ears will never recover.”

Eddie rolled his eyes, turning to fix himself another cup. “Thank you for getting me home safely, Tommy. I appreciate it.”

“Mhm. No problem.” Tommy returned to his seat and Eddie joined him at the table. They sat in silence for a couple minutes, taking small sips of their drinks.

Eventually, Tommy set his cup down a little harder than normal, getting Eddie's attention with the clinking sound. “Wanna talk about it?”

“About what? How your coffee tastes like cigarette sludge?”

“I'll take that as a no then.” Tommy checked his watch. “The bar doesn't open until three. Want me to stop by and pick you up then?”

Eddie shook his head. “I can just get an Uber, Man, thanks though.”

“Of course. I'll, uh, let you recover.” Tommy stood and went to leave, checking his pocket for his keys and phone.

As he neared the door, Eddie spoke. “Wait,” he said. Tommy turned back to face him.

“Yeah?”

“Why'd you sleep on my couch?”

“You're my friend,” he answered simply. “You drank a lot. Wanted to make sure you were okay.” He took a step back toward the table. “Are you okay?”

Eddie cradled the mug in his hands, watching the steam rise from the cup. “You don't... How long has it been? Since you talked to your dad?”

Okay, so Tommy wasn't leaving then.

He came to the table and sat down, taking a moment to think about Eddie's question. “About six years, I think.”

“What did he do?” He looked over at Tommy. “To make you stop talking to him, I mean. Unless you don't wanna get into it. In fact, forget it, I shouldn't-”

“Eddie, it's fine,” Tommy assured him. “I don't mind.”

“Okay,” Eddie nodded, sitting up straighter. “So? What happened?”

“It wasn't just one thing,” Tommy explained. “It was a lifetime of things. He's... He's not a good man. I think the catalyst was about a year after I came out. I hadn't been home in awhile, so I decided to drive to his place one weekend. When he answered the door he said, 'What the hell are you doing here?' I told him I was coming to see him and he said, 'What's the damn point in that?' I thought about it for a second and realized that was a good question, so I turned around, got in my car, and left. Never looked back.” Eddie seemed to be contemplating his words, and Tommy could tell where this was going. “It's not the same thing, Eddie,” he said, beating Eddie to it.

“What if he doesn't come back? What I did, Tommy, it wasn't... It was bad.”

“You made a mistake.”

“I cheated on my girlfriend with a doppelganger of his mom, Tommy, and he caught me.”

“Granted, it was a big mistake,” Tommy deadpanned. “But, still a mistake. He'll come around. You gotta give him time.”

“People keep telling me that,” Eddie replied with an eye roll. “That he'll come around. But it's been months of nothing. And it seems like no matter what I do, it's not enough.”

“You're trying.”

Eddie huffed. “I'm not sure getting drunk alone at a bar is trying.”

“I think it shows you care, Eddie. And, yeah, that shouldn't become a habit, but you're allowed to be upset. You're allowed to hurt. You made a mistake, but you're a good dad and Christopher knows that. He will come around.”

“And if he doesn't?” Eddie asked, staring over at Tommy.

“Then you keep trying,” Tommy replied. “You never stop trying. Keep being there, keep sending him letters and getting him on Facetime. Go for a visit. Send him texts. I'm not saying you gotta smother him, but never let him forget that you're there. That's the biggest mistake you could ever make.”

“Yeah,” Eddie took a deep breath. “Yeah, you're right. I just... I gotta keep it up. Let him know I'm here, whenever he's ready.”

“Exactly.”

Eddie looked over at the clock on his stove, 11:32 staring back at him. He had no idea he'd slept so long. “Why don't you call Buck, see if he wants to come over and watch a game? Then you can drive me to my car.”

“Oh, you want me to call Evan? Don't you mean fun dad?” Tommy asked, eying Eddie.

It took him a minute, but the memory came back to him. “I did say that, didn't I?”

“You did,” Tommy confirmed. “Which I'm very offended by, by the way. I'm fun!”

Eddie sighed, his head drooping down. “I know you are.”

“I introduced you to karaoke trivia. I've flown you to Vegas.”

“I remember.”

“I never tried to seriously injure you in the name of love.”

“Which I'm very grateful for.”

“I don't have control issues when I have a clipboard in my hand.”

“Are you just gonna keep listing reasons why you're fun?”

“I once shoved three cupcakes in my mouth at once! Nearly choked to death, but Evan whacked me on the back and everything went down just fine.”

Eddie stood with his mug in hand, pointing toward the living room, “I'm gonna go to the couch. Get more comfortable.”

Tommy followed behind, pulling out his phone to call Buck. “I'll let Evan tell you who bowled a 230 last week. Hint: it was me!”

The trip had finally made its way out of the group chat.

After months of planning and anticipation, the beginning of their getaway together had now arrived. Nobody could wait- excited for the once-in-a-lifetime, unforgettable memories they would soon make together.

Y/N, Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki, had all come together to go on a week’s trip away from this all-too-familiar town, and into the countryside. Luckily, Y/N’s parents owned a few vacation homes here and there, making it easy to find a place where the entire group could stay.

The plan was simple; a week away into the forests of the countryside while staying at one of Y/N’s vacation homes together. A chance to reconnect with nature and each other. And, if something did happen to go wrong, there was a small town five minutes or so down the road where they could find everything they could possibly need.

Early this morning, everyone gathered at the two cars that they would be taking to get to the house. After a lot of arguing and rounds of the game ‘rock, paper, scissors’, it was decided who would be in each car. In car one, there was Y/N, Heeseung, and passenger Jungwon up front alongside Jay, who would be the one driving. In car two, there was Jake, Ni-ki, passenger Sunoo, and driver Sunghoon.

There was a lot of pushing and shoving things into the car, but it all fit eventually. Well, after everyone tirelessly convinced Sunoo and Y/N that they did not need multiple bags full of non-essential things each. Everyone had been on the road for a few hours now with a couple of pit stops here and there, but now they were down to just 30 minutes left on the road trip until they would finally arrive at their destination.

Everyone had managed to keep their energy up until now, except for Heeseung. Currently, car one was doing carpool karaoke, but Heeseung was not joining in at all.

Y/N turned to Heeseung, who was sitting beside her with his arms crossed and head slightly tilted back, “Hey why aren’t you singing with us? Do you not like the song?”

“Yeah man, If I gotta sing, you have to as well. Don’t make me do it alone with these weirdos,” Jay joined, looking at Heeseung through the car mirror.

“Don’t act like you aren’t enjoying it Jay,” Jungwon huffed, leaning against the car window and watching the trees blur by quickly as they drove forward along the lengthy straight road.

“Can we just open a window? I’m hella motion sick right now,” Heeseung grumbled in response.

Y/N grabbed the closest water bottle and handed it to Heeseung, “drink some water, it’ll help. We should have had Hee sit up front.”

“That helps?” Jungwon questioned.

“Yeah, I mean that's what my parents told me whenever I asked to sit up front. They said they got motion sick in the back of the car,” Y/N shrugged.

Jay laughed, “Sounds like they were just trying to make up something so they wouldn’t have to sit in the back.”

“Whatever, they wouldn’t do that,” Y/N rolled her eyes.

“First stage, denial,” Jay continued to joke.

“Be quiet. Anyway, I wonder how the other guys are doing,” Y/N laid back into her seat again.

Jungwon pulled out his phone, “I’ll text them.”

︵‿︵‿୨🩹୧‿︵‿︵

Meanwhile, Ni-ki and Jake were doing some intense thumb wrestling matches in the back of the other car, pulling each other around aggressively; the pair of them were very obviously cheating at the game. Sunoo peacefully scrolled through his phone up front, glad to be a little bit away from the mad duo in the back.

“Can you guys quit?” Sunghoon kept his eyes on the road as he scolded them.

“What?” Jake sassed.

“Quit bickering for the love of my sanity. You’re actually now making the car sway,” Sunghoon complained.

“It’s Jake's fat ass tilting the car,” Ni-ki snapped back.

“What ass? He has an ass?” Sunoo added, eyes still on his phone.

Jake threw his arms in the air, “I have an ass it's just not fat alright? AND I’M NOT TILTING THE FUCKING CAR!”

Ni-ki was in a fit of laughter, almost wetting himself right then and there.

Sunghoon shook his head, “seriously guys stop.”

Sunoo turned up the car volume, “Yeah shut up, my song is about to play.”

It was a cutesy song to which Sunoo somehow knew all the dance movements.

“Get Sunoo off of aux RIGHT NOW,” Ni-ki yelled in horror, covering his ears as if it was physically paining him. He reached up into the middle to grab Sunoo’s phone.

Sunoo began screaming, “LET GO OF ME, YOU CAN’T REACH UP HERE!”

Sunghoon suddenly swerved sharply for a half second, making everyone sit back and go silent in fear, “Is that seriously what it takes to get you all to shut the hell up?”

“Wait, Jungwon texted me,” Sunoo opened up his phone again after seeing the notification briefly light up on his screen, “apparently Heeseung is super motion sick or something. He said Heeseung really doesn’t look too great.”

︵‿︵‿୨🌡️୧‿︵‿︵

Heeseung had been asleep for a while now. The music had been turned down in order to let him rest for the rest of the drive. His head slowly fell softly onto Y/N’s shoulder, still sound asleep.

“Oh my god, I can feel the heat radiating off of him. He’s so warm,” Y/N whispered with a shocked tone to the two that were still awake.

Jungwon looked to the back of the car where Heeseung was with a concerned expression, “I don’t think that’s a normal symptom of motion sickness… maybe he should take some medication.”

“Shit, I left all the first aid and medication with Sunoo in the other car. How much longer until we arrive?”

“It’s just over there, I can see the house. I just need to pull up,” Jay answered.

As Jay pulled up to the vacation home and parked the car, Y/N slowly detached herself from Heeseung- gently propping his head back up to a natural, comfortable position. He was definitely one of the deepest sleepers amongst the friend group.

Everyone exited the car, reuniting with the other half of their friends who were getting out of the other car a few spots behind them. Niki and Jake came out of the car trying to headlock each other, but that wasn’t a surprise to anyone. In fact, you could probably get rich from betting on it.

Sunghoon approached Y/N and the others, looking absolutely drained.

“Oh my, what happened? Are you alright?” Y/N scanned him with worry that another one of her friends might be unwell.

“Now you listen to me Y/N. Don’t you ever leave me with them two ever again,” Sunghoon pointed toward the culprits, Jake and Ni-ki, who had finally let go of each other?

Y/N giggled, “So sorry about that. I forgot how they are when they’re left together for more than five minutes. I’ll rig the game of rock, paper, scissors for the journey home and make sure they’re separate.”

“Thank goodness,” Sunghoon sighed in relief.

Sunoo joined the conversation with wide eyes, “where’s Heeseung? Is he okay?”

“He’s still in the car. I didn’t want to wake him ye-“

Y/N paused when she looked toward the car again, spotting Ni-ki quickly approaching the car door, swinging it open while snickering, and taking goofy 0.5 pictures of Heeseung asleep. Then he started tickling him.

Heeseung woke up and swung at him, in which Ni-ki had only just avoided by luck. Heeseung grumbled grumpily at him, swearing under his breath.

“Caught you slacking,” Ni-ki teased.

“Just you wait,” Heeseung mumbled back while unbuckling his seatbelt. He took barely two steps out of the car and began to stumble over. Luckily, Ni-ki caught him before he made friends with the pebble-infested floor.

Everyone gasped and rushed over to help quickly, “Get him inside, right now.”

︵‿︵‿୨🍵୧‿︵‿︵

A little while later, Jay came rushing back into the house with a doctor from the city down the road. He had left almost immediately to get some help for Heeseung.

The doctor placed his bags beside the couch where Heeseung was lying down, surrounded by everyone who looked worried sick for their dear friend. The doctor then knelt down beside Heeseung and took his temperature. He did some general checking, making sure Heeseung’s vitals were good and everything like that.

“Tsk, he’s got a fever alright,” the doctor examined the thermometer, “he will be okay though. He’s just got an aggressive cold right now. Just make sure to keep breaking any spontaneous fevers that may come back and make him rest a lot. Oh, and give him these,” he handed a bottle of specific medication to Sunoo as he stood up, “just call me if anything worsens, or if anything happens that you’re not sure about.”

“Thank you so much,” Jay guided the doctor to the door and waved him goodbye, thanking him one final time before the doctor left.

Y/N took the medication from Sunoo and took two pills out into the palm of her hand. She sat down beside Heeseung with a glass of water in her other hand, “You gotta take these Hee.”

Heeseung weakly sat up with a little bit of help from Ni-ki. He then leaned toward Y/N with his mouth slightly agape, who then placed each pill carefully into his mouth and helped tip the glass of water into his mouth.

Jake approached with some random bags of frozen things that he found last second and placed them against Heeseung to help him stay cool. Initially, the cold made Heeseung flinch a little, but he accepted it, “really? Frozen cranberries?”

“It’s all there was man,” Jake apologised, making Heeseung chuckle lightly.

Jungwon had run upstairs but shortly returned with as many pillows as his little arms could hold. Ni-ki and Jungwon worked together to make sure Heeseung was as comfortable as lying on a couch could be.

Muffled quarrelling could be heard from the kitchen. It was Jay and Sunghoon.

Jay was trying to make some comforting and healing food for Heeseung with his own cooking knowledge, meanwhile, Sunghoon made laps around the kitchen looking at his phone, and reading out overly fancy complicated remedies and recipes. He may have been trying to be helpful, but Jay had to deny everything he suggested and constantly remind him once again they ‘do not have the ingredients for that shit.’

After everything was more settled, everyone left Heeseung to sleep peacefully on the couch while they went outside the back and started setting up the campfire.

︵‿︵‿୨🩹୧‿︵‿︵

Hours later, Heeseung awoke to the faint sound of obnoxious laughter and shouting from outside which travelled through the windows of the house.

He sat up, still drenched in sweat that his fever had graciously gifted him. He looked around for a few moments, processing everything. His eyes trailed across the empty glasses on the table beside him and a bowl filled with soup that had gone completely cold. He felt bad- Jay must have left it for him to eat when he woke back up, but he had slept far too long.

The sound of his friends having fun and enjoying themselves made Heeseung jealous. He was envious that everyone except him was getting to have fun and make the memories he so desperately waited for the second the plans were made. He couldn’t stand being so vulnerable, so he got up even if his body wasn’t ready yet.

Heeseung made his way outside the back, and toward the campfire where everyone sat casually talking about anything and everything that came to their heads at the moment.

“It’s your turn- oh, Heeseung’s up,” Jungwon announced upon seeing Heeseung approaching.

“You’re not supposed to be getting up and walking around yet Hee,” Y/N lectured him.

“I’m feeling fine,” Heeseung lied, taking a seat next to Sunoo, “what did I miss?”

Heeseung lasted about fifteen minutes before he began to feel lightheaded again, his body slowly tilting backward involuntarily every now and then. Except suddenly, he couldn't keep himself upright anymore and the next thing he knew, everything went black.

︵‿︵‿୨🌡️୧‿︵‿︵

When Heeseung awoke again, he was greeted by Y/N leaning over the bed he lay in, caressing his hair, while sitting in a random chair she had pulled up to sit beside him.

“How did I get here?” Heeseung sat up, taking in the room he was unfamiliar with.

“Well luckily for you, it isn’t a hospital room. We’re just in one of the spare bedrooms,” Y/N explained.

“Oh. Did I faint?” Heeseung couldn’t recollect any memory from just before he had passed out until now.

“Yes, you did,” Y/N sighed heavily, “and you gave us all a heart attack. You could have fallen forwards, straight into the fire Heeseung! You could have died, we could have lost you,” Y/N scolded him.

“I’m sorry.”

“I don’t mean to yell at you as soon as you wake up, but it was really scary. Promise me you won’t get up and do stuff when you’re not actually better,” Y/N calmed down a little.

Heeseung felt incredibly guilty, “I promise. I’m really sorry I put you guys through that.”

“As long as you keep your promise Heeseung. If anything, I’m partly responsible. I shouldn’t have left you unsupervised like that. I’m sorry,” Y/N shook her head in self-shame.

Heeseung reached for Y/N’s hand, holding it gently, “Don’t blame yourself.”

Y/N stuck by Heeseung’s side for the rest of the night, falling asleep upright in her chair, slumped slightly over herself uncomfortably.

︵‿︵‿୨🍵୧‿︵‿︵

The next morning, Heeseung awoke to Jungwon and Jake by the side of his bed rather than Y/N whom he had seen in that spot last. It took him by surprise, making him jump a little.

“C’mon bro, Jungwon ain’t that ugly,” Jake joked.

Jungwon slapped him on the arm harshly, “I change my mind, I don't need you in here.”

“Where’s Y/N?” Heeseung asked curiously, ignoring them, and wondering where Y/N had disappeared to, and if she had spent the whole night there in the chair that was still placed beside him. He hoped that she had not sacrificed her sleep for him.

“She went grocery shopping about an hour ago. She should be back soon,” Jungwon answered.

“Yeah, and she put us on babysitting duty,” Jake added, throwing a slight verbal dig at Heeseung.

On cue, Y/N returned loudly through the door trying to carry all the shopping bags inside in one trip, “I’m back!”

After some time spent putting away the groceries, Y/N made her way into the main room where Heeseung was already sitting on the couch waiting. Jake and Jungwon had gone outside to join the others on a nature walk. Y/N decided it was probably better not to tag along- she would much rather hear about the chaos of a walk they created when they return, rather than have to be a part of it.

“Good afternoon Hee, how are you holding up this morning?” She sat in the chair opposite him.

He looked at her with an eyebrow raised, “Did you stay in that chair all night?”

“Is it a problem?”

“Y/N, you don’t have to do that,” Heeseung sighed, feeling guilty again.

“It’s okay. If I would have left, I wouldn’t have been able to sleep anyway,” she assured him.

“I’m sorry I’ve basically ruined the start of this trip,” Heeseung hung his head in disappointment.

Y/N sat up with an angry expression, “Don’t be ridiculous. You haven’t ruined a thing.”

Heeseung began to cough a bit concerningly, earning a worried look from Y/N.

“Stay put. I’ll be right back,” Y/N pointed at her eyes and then back at him as if she were warning him that she was watching him.

She rushed around in the kitchen and returned after a few minutes with two mugs, one in each hand, and a packet of Heeseung’s favourite snack hanging from her mouth held by the clench of her teeth.

“What’s this?” Heeseung took the mug from her carefully.

“I got some of your favourite snacks while I was out shopping,” Y/N pointed to the mug in his hands, “and that’s tea with a spoonful of honey. Trust me, it helps when you’re sick. Drink up!” Y/N took a sip from her own mug, sitting down next to Heeseung now.

Heeseung smiled at her and copied her, taking a sip from his mug; he widened his eyes with the pleasant taste, humming in enjoyment.

“It’s good right?” Y/N watched him eagerly.

He nodded enthusiastically, and they both giggled.

︵‿︵‿୨🩹୧‿︵‿︵

Later that evening, everyone gathered and agreed to do something in which they could include Heeseung this time so that he didn’t feel left out like he had felt the night before. Plus, the guys really missed him during the day. It just felt so empty when they weren’t all together, all the time.

It was decided that they would all do a movie night. It was a great idea, something everyone could enjoy, and something Heeseung could join without having to get up from the chair or out of the blankets the other guys had earnestly wrapped him up in.

They watched a few movies: comedy, horror, action. For the final movie, they put on a romance movie. It didn’t take long for almost everyone to fall asleep during it. Arguably, it was very late. But Y/N complained that she was the only one interested enough to not get bored and drift off to sleep.

Sunghoon was out like a light in the singular chair on the furthest side of the room. By his feet were Jay, Jake, and Ni-ki who had collectively fallen asleep together all huddled up in a shared blanket on the floor, knackered from the amount of yelling they all did during the horror movie. Light snores could be heard, but it wasn’t clear who was the one producing the snoring. It was probably Jake.

Sunoo and Jungwon shared one side of the couch. Jungwon’s hair was flopped all out of place, twinning with Sunoo’s hair beside him which was doing the exact same thing. They looked like two little pom-poms together.

On the other side of the couch were Heeseung and Y/N. Heeseung was fast asleep and had fallen asleep first out of everyone. It was excused though, because he must have been exhausted from the horrible illness fighting his body right now.

Y/N on the other hand, was wide awake. Her eyes threatened to close a few times here and there at the sight of all her best friends asleep so comfortably, but alas her eyes stayed glued to the TV. She refused to let the movie go to waste.

Beside her, Heeseung began to shuffle around and mumble to himself. From what Y/N could tell, he was still asleep. He must have been dreaming. She found herself staring a little at him, noticing his eyebrows furrowed together as if he were in pain. Before she could even tap him, his eyes fluttered open, meeting hers.

Y/N looked away quickly as if she wasn’t staring, and then looked back at him, “Are you alright?” She whispered, cautious not to wake the others so closely located to her.

“I’m alright, why are you still awake?” Heeseung asked, sitting up properly.

“The movie hasn’t finished,” she pointed to the TV.

Heeseung laughed, “How did we get to romantic movies?”

“It was my idea.”

“I mean,” Heeseung scanned the room of sleeping bodies, “I think I can tell,” he teased.

“Oh, whatever. It’s a good movie,” Y/N scoffed, diverting her attention back toward the TV.

“Aren’t you uncomfortable?” He whispered after a few minutes.

Y/N shrugged, “It’s not awful, but a little I guess.”

Heeseung grabbed Y/N’s arm and pulled her towards him, “come closer then.”

“Oh okay,” Y/N felt herself get a little shy at the sudden gesture.

Heeseung adjusted the blanket, snaking his arm around her and pulling her into the blanket with him, and smiled.

Y/N smiled back, “Thanks, Hee.”

Eventually, the pair fell asleep with their heads against one another.

︵‿︵‿୨🌡️୧‿︵‿︵

“Shut the fuck up you’re so loud.”

“You’re gonna wake them up.”

“Move, I want to take a picture too.”

“Ni-ki stop taking selfies with them, that’s just plain wrong.”

Heeseung’s eyes opened to the sight of the other guys hovering around him with their cameras in his face, giggling mischievously amongst themselves, “What the hell?”

Then it became clear as he felt someone’s arms suddenly move slightly around his waist. It was Y/N. They must have fallen asleep and somehow ended up holding one another on the couch. How it actually happened, he had no recollection of.

And because of Y/N’s reaction when she had finally sat up fully awake and realised- it was clear she probably had no recollection of this either.

“Oh my god that’s embarrassing,” she held her flushed face in her hands.

“Ni-ki I know you ain’t laughing like you weren’t all snuggled up with Sunghoon’s feet last night,” Heeseung teased defensively.

“WHAT THE HELL NO I WASN’T,” Ni-ki yelled back, clearly offended at such an insult.

“Don’t bring me into this,” Sunghoon rubbed the sides of his head, annoyed.

“Anyway,” Heeseung interrupted, “good news. I think I’m healed.”

“You better not be lying,” Jake squinted at him suspiciously, not believing it.

“No deadass, I feel so much better,” Heeseung beamed.

The guys cheered and jumped around in excitement, “We can finally start off this trip properly.”

“So, what are we doing today?” Jay asked amongst the sudden chatter.

Just then, a nasty-sounding cough came from beside Heeseung. It came from Y/N, and everyone looked her way immediately. She looked like she hadn’t even slept, even though she most definitely had.

Heeseung placed his palm against her forehead. It was very warm. She must have caught the sickness from him.

Heeseung laughed in astonishment,

“Actually guys, I think we got some other work to do first.”

🤒 end!! 🤧

SHANKS X MALE READER

YUP YUP THIS IS THE MALE READER VERSION TO THE SHANKS X FEM READER I DID AND ITS THE SAME PLOT!!

edit: here’s the fem version!!

eat up male readers!! :)

SOOOOO….!

this time m/n issss….ding ding ding!!! still a bartender at a karaoke bar!!

only this time this scenario will be a tad different, for a heads up:)

the bar was empty

m/n was cleaning up and the last customer just left

well he thought anyway..NO SPOILERS 😁

so m/n thought ‘hey, why not sing some karaoke?’

so that’s what m/n did :)

you got on the stage, picked up the mic

and selected your favorite song

now no matter what type of singer you are, good or bad,

you nailed this part

the part everyone knows

whether you knew you had it in you or not is up to you, regardless,

you did sing. sing you did.

it was your favorite song so you tried your best on it, not missing a beat

all the sudden m/n heard a toilet flush and a door creek open.

you whipped around, shocked to see…..shanks.

standing there, leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face.

you scrambled to turn off the music and get off the stage

“shanks..what are you doing here?..”

”whaddya mean? i was just in the bathroom, aboutta leave.”

he was mocking you 😒

“well get out of here already!”

you started to shove him towards the door but before you could open it to push him out he grabbed you and pinned you against the wall

he leaned in and whispered into your ear,

”wanna go on a date, sometime? mr. singer?”

he mocked you, teasingly on that last part, but deep down he wanted you to accept his offer

you push back against him, catching him off guard, kissing along his jawline, over to his ear and after a few kisses to his neck you spun on your heel,

walked out the door

and locked it :)

shanks was too shocked and happy to process that you were already walking off to your car

he just kinda watched you with this dumb smile and love sick look on his face

until you started your car

oh snap!

”m/n!! mm/nnnnn!! wait! don’t leave me in here! let me out!! come back!!”

he banged on the window as you sped off in your car snickering

that’ll teach him a lesson for embarrassing you right? 😋

I LOVE HOW BOTH VERSIONS CAME OUT!!

UHH TBH IDK IF ILL DO A G/N VERSION BUT IF SOMEONE REQUESTS IT I WOULDN’T MIND<3

SHANKS STANS COME GET YOUR FOOOOOOOOD!!

[dacuslucy]

request from @luna2034: Please write more things for Jonah! I really loved this headcanon! Also I was wondering if you could do a part 2?

of course!! id love to!! :)

if jonah hauer-king was your boyfriend! - part 2 (headcannons)

- while it’s movie night, he always keeps a arm around your waist to protect you. (especially during a horror movie - he knows how scared you get, sometimes it’s you protecting him!)

- he invites you to his premieres (if you’re an actress - anti shifters dni!!), and he comes to yours!

- Jonah (he knows he shouldn’t and you tell him not to) always brings a souvenir back from set or press if you’re not there with him.

- he’s definitely become a swiftie (or whatever you listen to) though you. you two are always singing in the car.

- you always persuade him to sing karaoke at a pub when the two of you are in the uk. or even to dance with him, which he’s actually pretty good at!

- tickle fights are CONSTANT. (good fights)

- it’s always fluff between you too. pure romance and fluff.

- when you’re ill, he stays off from work to look after you. even when you say not to.

- his parents love you. your parents love him. they both think you two are absolutely inseparable.

- his work friends are your friends. your work friends are his friends. simple as that!

- you two get a dog together. or a cat (whatever is your liking! Jonah doesn’t mind either way, as long as you are happy).

- you’re always there for casting calls and auditions. he’s always there for you in those things too! (if you’re an actor/actress - anti shifters dni!)

please don’t copy my work! <3

(let me know what you think of this fic by giving this post a like, follow and a comment!)

Getting lost pt1

bang chan x f!reader x hong joong

*Based off of kingdom era

warning- smut * threesum* chan likes to watch* cliff hanger

The car hummed silently, the sound of music filling the car which was overshadowed by me and hongjoong's voice. Chan's manager drove the car, slowly swaying to the beat, while Chan sat in the passenger seat. Going back and forth, using my hairbrush as a microphone singing ‘I wanna dance with somebody.’

After the we picked up the rest of mayfly rap unit, chan moved to the back with me and hongjoong. Changing the activity from Karaoke to playing car games and telling stories of high school.

Both chan and hongjoong sat beside me, letting me lean against either one and using their hoodie as a blanket as I napped.

"Is she sleeping?” Hongjoong glanced down at you, your head in his lap, laying down in the seat, the seat belt around your stomach. “She is.” Chan glanced at you, staring through the dark, a small smile spreading across his face. “When will we get to the hotel?” Turning to his manager.

"In a few more hours, maybe later if the storm gets worse.” his manager responded

I strecthed my arms "anything weird happen?"

"chan was talking shit about you" seungmin spoke out suddenly. I smacked seungmin in the head

"I won't hesitate to stop this car.”

"seungmin that’s not safe.”

I tried to smack seungmin again only for chan to hold me down tightly in his lap, his chin on my shoulder. “Channie?” hongjoong glanced over. “You're really warm.” He muttered before letting me crawl into the backseat, slapping my ass I did.

"My ass!” Crying out in pain, I glared at the smiling idiot. “The abuse i receive in the car is astronomical.”

“Who do you like Y/N?” Freezing in my spot, Chan and hongjoong interest is peeking up. “Who is it? Y/N share the tea.”

"There is no tea. I like no one.”

“She’s lying.” hyunjin pointed out

"How did you--”

“Y/N is at the point of hiding secrets.” hongjoong faked a sob, leaning onto his friend. chan raised his hand up and patted his head. Rolling my eyes, scooting forward and looking at chan .

A groggy yawn left his mouth. He looked at me. “What is it?” Not glancing back, I pressed my lips together.

"205 was the exit right?”

"yes, why?”

"Hm, I see.” The car went silent before I screamed. “Then why the fuck are we almost 60 numbers past that!” Chan leaned forward, staring at the passing signs illuminated by the headlights.

"exit 275!? First off, that's 70 numbers past.”

"mr manager.”

"Ah shit. ill Just turn at the next exit." Nodding, changing lanes to the next exit and getting off. "Are there any ways to get back to the highway?"

'"We'd have to drive for a while, I don't see a turn or a ramp." Turning down the road to the right, because that was the only road available. "I'm moving up there." The boys were all asleep. chan's manager asked if there was any service. Grabbing my phone, and going to maps, before a frustrated groan left my mouth. "No signal."

"Dammit. Maybe there's a Gas Station." My eyes darted to the gas tank, it was on full. Resting his head against the dashboard, clearly exhausted. "You can sleep, mr manager. It's ok."

"You'll be alone in the dark. What if some psycho pulls up?"

" It'll be o—" chan's manager stared at me through the dark. "Y/N, please be safe and wake me up if anything happens." Nodding,he then went to sleep not soon after. Driving in silence, listening to the rain mix with the music. It felt so surreal. It was an empty two way street, forests on either side of the road, yet you could tell that the road was old and hardly used. The headlights shined brightly in front of me, so if someone did run out into the road, I'd see them.

Checking the doors, making sure they were locked. They were, the back door had child locked.Since the last time Chan was driving, Han tried to jump out of the car. Laughing at the thought, randomly thinking of random scenarios, before slowing down. There was a fork in the road. One left. One right.

.

۝Squinting my eyes from the sun as I pulled off my hoodie and stretched my arms. "Are you alright?"

"yep, "

"Wait where are we!?"

"if we turn right i think there's a town."

Driving for a good hour before a gas station appeared. Slowing down drastically and pulling into the gas station and turning off the car. "hongjoong and manager please watch the car, Chan we're going inside."

Chan then had to use the restroom- 🙂

Leaving me completely alone in this empty building, but the cool air and soft rumbling of the generator reminded me that this place wasn't abandoned.

Deciding to grab several snacks and drinks before heading up. "Done with your conv’o with your boyfriend I see." A man with shaggy black hair and bright Hazel eyes leaned against the counter with a wide smile.

"Boyfriend? Oh, no. He's a friend."

His' smile widen, and he held out a hand. "Names Kai." Shaking his hand as I placed all the things on the counter "L/N."

Watching him hum lightly as he scanned my items. "On a road trip with friends, I see."

"Yeah. We got a little lost, but it's all good."

"Oh. Wow. If you need someone to give you a tour of our Town, I'd be more than happy too for such a pretty girl." Passing me the bag and writing out his phone number on it, just as I reached for it, only for it to be snatched from Kai's hand.

"she's fine, but thank you."

"Chan!" Grabbing my hand and pulling back to the car, I muttered quick apologies to Kai, still glaring at Chan. "You did that for what!?"

"Now is not the time to flirt."

Trudging into the car, staying completely silent while Chan dragged off. Kicking ramble pebbles, leaning against the car with a scowl. “Hey. I figured I try to shoot my shot again.” Kai walked towards the car with a smile and phone in hand. Passing it to me.

"id figured it’d be easier, but i understand if you're not interested.”

"No youre alright—Im sorry about Chris. He’s possessive and all that jazz.” Giving him my number, and waving goodbye just as the others came back. hong joong first to speak.

'Let’s just hit the reset button and find a hotel or something.”

Weekly Tag Wednesday

thanks for tagging me @lingy910y and @energievie, i hope youre both having lovely wednesdays

let’s start with the standard

name: gigi <3

age: 24

location: im doing this at work for once so im on the isle of manhattan

and now, a set of totally random ones

what’s one of your go-to karaoke songs? singing by yourself in the car or in the shower totally counts. anything ABBA, i love karaoke and ABBA is fun because …its ABBA honestly that should be enough. i go for lay all your love on me, super trooper, money, waterloo or if im really really drunk - winner takes it all

if you had the power to control one of the four elements, which one would it be and why? probably water bc i love being in/around water, i start to get weird and pissy when im landlocked for too long, but im also a v typical grounded earth sign so maybe that instead

think of one of your defining personality traits - which animal embodies it? i’ve been told a cat, but honestly one of those super intense working/hunting breed dogs, i have to exercise myself or ill start getting anxious and tearing up the couch

are there any fan theories that have stuck with you? think of the infamous “scooby and the gang are all actually high.” I mean i think the idea that the scooby gang were dodging the draft is a good one, or that agent dale cooper was DB cooper, which is just pretty funny

name a movie you watched or a book you read as a kid that you were totally not supposed to watch/read or watch at that age. probably a lot, my parents didnt really believe in censoring anything (to a point obviously) i watched tarantino movies pretty young, and all of the cohen brothers movies bc my mom loved them

name a food or drink that you totally hated as a kid and now you really like. honestly most things lol i was a super pickey eater but my household was somewhat crunchy so that meant i ate mostly meat and fruit - now I eat almost anything

how about ones you still hate: i never could do broccoli, its just a texture thing, brocolini is fine bc the little buds are bigger if that makes sense

what’s your least favorite chore: laundry, I live on the top floor of a building without an elevator and the laundry machines are in the basement so its just a pain in the ass

do you have one that you actually enjoy? i honestly hate all housework, its just a waste of time and i know ill have to do it all over again next week - i love cooking but i don’t see it as a chore so idk if it counts

and to close off, share a lyric or two that really resonates with you.

Oh, to see without my eyes The first time that you kissed me Boundless by the time I cried I built your walls around me - Mystery of love (Sufjan Stevens)

I bet on losing dogs I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place By the ring Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down I'll be there on their side I'm losing by their side - i bet on loosing dogs (Mitski)

The memory hurts But does me no harm Your hand in my pocket To keep us both warm The poor thing in the road Its eye still glistening The cold wet of your nose The Earth from a distance

See how it shines - Abstract Psychopomp (Hozier )

Random Edna Namikawa Fact #1

xrewrite of something posted on my old blog

Edna's Japanese speaking voice claim (Sayaka Kinoshita) has already been announced but before I ever knew what Edna sounded like in Japanese, I knew what she sounded like in English. Edna is said to have a voice so powerful that she's brought one of the most powerful men in Japan to his knees- even to tears. No matter how often Hiro hears his wife sing, this reaction comes as naturally to him as breathing does. There was only one woman in this world I could think of whose voice came to mind when I wrote those words: Miss Anita Baker.

She has a smooth, soothing and deep speaking voice when her tone is at rest and when she sings her voice belts out from deep within her. It's like a million angels calling out to the room instead of one petite woman. It could leave anyone with goosebumps.

When Hiroshi first heard her, he cried. These were not light, silent tears either. These were sobbing into the palms of his hands type tears before crawling over to her and whispering into her lap that he could listen to her forever.

It was a hideous sight. 💗

She's gone to karaoke with Arika and Goro once before she fell ill and Goro still remembers looking from his girlfriend to her mother with misty eyes and wondering what the hell went wrong with Arika's vocal chords.

There's even been a time when she's made Kenjiro cry but he's far too cool to ever admit it and she's too polite to give him a hard time about it. However, you may know that Kenjiro is quite the fan of car karaoke and one of his favorite people to have with him is Edna. Simply because she's not too shy to get into it and he gets immense peace from listening to her sometimes.

[lady-lauren]

lauren hello! u can call me benz/bean/stink, and im a longtime fan of ur work on ao3!!! and haha i have been slowly climbing my way out of lurker status on both these websites/returning to tumblr 👉🏼👈🏼

but ya, i finally came across ur blog today and reading all the entries for your lil valentines op matchup had me giggling kicking my feet blushing heAD OVER HEELS!!!!!!!! everyone is just teeeew cute!!!

so ofc i had to get my shit into gear and send an ask while i could!!!

unsurprisingly, its a lot of rambling and gushing so ehe i highlighted the quickest answers for ur convenience ahaha ty and hope uve been having fun with all the matchmaking!!

im a queer nb femme and gender isnt a deciding factor for me! ill love on any of odas darlings 🥰

libra sun - scorp venus - sag mars - and a billion virgo placements lol

i find this all manifests as me being a huuuge flirt, a lil dangerously magnetic at times, but for better or for worse, i never get serious unless i know that we will be each others everything - im holding out for a mutual obsession typa love (but the earth placements in me needs that obsession to be on the dl for the both of us! pookie bear and i need to have lives and loves outside of just each other!)

as for other personality traits: i love being the hypeman for my friends, i feel fulfilled when i can support them in their ups and downs, im a ride or die and live to validate my friends experiences!!!! fairly rational and level headed, but ahaha also a delusional and self sabotaging mess, but hey thats what makes life fun

love languages def quality time and physical touch - i love cuddling, fiddling with their hands and hair, doing fun things together! (i do also value solo time tho - vvv important)

i love love looooove singing and dancing - it could be at a club, a karaoke room, the car, my friends couch, anywhere! i love it love it love it - and aside from that, a second hobby ill share with u is that i enjoy photography! i love taking snaps of small things that make me smile, polaroids of my friends during their big moments, film photos of loved ones and the softness they exude when they feel safe and cared for

ehe that was a lot so ill leave it at there ehehehe

im def open to any hotter takes u may have 🤭 but otherwise ya! thats my entry, and even if u dont end up getting thru them all, how fun it iset urself get excited about a potential cutie!! and to share what you think makes you You!

aside from that, i look forward to being a nonlurking fan of what u create share curate here on tumblr!!!

with gratitude, happy early love day!

ur longwinded fan, benz aka bean aka stink 💕✨

First, welcome out of lurker status, I'm glad you came to join in my little fun 🥰

and, most importantly, I'm here to give you your mutual obsession love: Buggy.

Let me preface this with: I fucking love Buggy (I would die protecting him) and I have been WAITING for the perfect match up for him, and darlin' you're it.

Buggy would fall into your orbit immediately. The moment you first throw out your magnetic flirting, the man is toast– he's buttered up with obsession and you will be his absolute everything. He will look at you like you hung the fucking moon in the sky and that you make the birds sing and that you make his heart keep beating in his chest.

It's wonderful that you're a hype man, because believe it or not, that's really what Buggy needs. He is constantly failing upwards and it scares him. He doesn't think he deserves any notoriety–he doesn't think he deserves love at all. You would be the light he looks to for encouragement. If he can have you, maybe he does deserve to have it all, right?

He is also going to need your rational outlook because while you have a little delulu, he has a lotta delulu. He, too, is a self-sabotaging mess, but I am a firm believer that sometimes two messes can come together and somehow keep each other sane and whole.

Physical touch is also Buggy's love language. He will always want to be holding hands, fiddling with your fingers, and for the love of all things holy PLEASE play with his hair. He would let you braid it, string it into pig tails to fit in his hat, or even just let you rake your fingers through it at night in bed. He loves that shit. Put flowers in it, too.

Buggy likes to be the center of attention, but even more so he would love to watch you be the center of attention. He would love to watch you do karaoke, dance, and have a wonderful time. And, even better, as a little attention whore himself, he would love to the subject of your photography. He will literally get into any pose you ask him, (especially if he's naked). And if you show him photos you take candidly, of him being warm and soft and just enjoying life, he might literally burst into pieces of happiness.

Time Period/Location: New York City, September 5, 2017

First Line: 12:22 A.M. Death-Cast is calling with the warning of a lifetime--I'm going to die today.

In the year 2017, Death-Cast is a company that between the hours of 12am-3am know who is going to die that day and calls people to tell them. They don’t know exactly when or how, just that in the next 24 hours they’ll die. 18 year old Mateo Torrez and 17 year old Rufus Emeterio both receive the call, Mateo while he is in bed watching other Deckers live out their End Days, and Rufus while he jumps his ex-girlfriend's boyfriend, Peck. Mateo plans to visit his father, as he in a coma at the hospital from a stroke, and his best friend Lidia and his goddaughter Penny. He ends up not leaving his apartment, anxious and paranoid. Rufus, however, decides to hold his own funeral with his foster parents, foster brothers, and Aimee, his ex. Aimee shows up with a beaten and bruised Peck, and is angry at Rufus but more upset that he is dying. While he says goodbye to his family, the police shows up courtesy of Peck and Rufus runs. Malcom and Tagoe, his foster brothers, get arrested trying to cover for him. When Rufus realizes he's on his own for the day, he gets on the Last Friend app and connects with Mateo, who is looking for someone to drag him out of the apartment. Rufus does exactly that, and they visit his dad in the hospital, eat breakfast, and then visit Lidia and Penny. Lidia is suspicious, as Mateo isn't planning on telling her he's dying today. He leaves her money and bolts out of the apartment, blocking her number so she can't reach him. Mateo desperately wants to live out moments of his life he never got to have due to his severe paranoia and anxiety, so they go to Make-A-Moment and virtual reality skydive. They visit Central Park and Althea Park, visit Mateo's mom's grave, and visit a bookstore. As they leave the bookstore, the gym next door blows up, but they thankfully survive. Mateo eventually decides he wants to reconnect with Lidia, and she meets them at the Travel Arena, where they go through exhibits meant to be a tour around the world for people who are dying and can't travel. Mateo decides to be brave and jump off a cliff into water with Rufus and Lidia, and it helps Rufus get over his fear of water. Malcom and Tagoe are released from prison and call Rufus, and they agree to meet at Clint's Graveyard, a bar for Deckers. Rufus and Mateo sing karaoke and afterwards share a kiss, Mateo coming out as gay for the first time. They celebrate and dance, until Peck shows up with his gang of 2 other boys, and he attempts to shoot Rufus, but is punched by Mateo and the gang is arrested while Mateo and Rufus escape. They go back to Mateo's apartment and fall asleep together, but while Rufus is still asleep, Mateo goes to make tea in the kitchen and turns on the stove, causing it to explode. Rufus drags Mateo's body out of the apartment but he is already dead. Grieving, Rufus steps out into the road and gets hit by a car.

Mateo Torrez: Mateo chose to never live his life to the fullest because he lived in constant fear of death. When death comes for him anyways, he decides to finally live his life to the fullest while he can. It takes him awhile to branch out and do things out of his comfort zone, and even after he does, he still wants to play it safe at the end. I like that while he shows growth throughout the book, his change and progress isn't instantaneous.

Rufus Emeterio: Even though Rufus is also scared of his own death, he behaves incredibly bravely throughout the book, refusing to not let fear control him. He was the perfect opposite to Mateo. His realization that the person he was starting to become when he was beating up Peck was not the person he really was or ever wanted to be really showed his character, because even when people are dying they don't always have that much insight into themself.

Storyline: As always, Adam Silvera finds a way to intricately connect his main characters to even the most minor character you wouldn't expect to be relevant, like the boy Mateo tells Rufus he gave his sneakers to turning out to be one of the gang members and that past act of kindness potentially being what saved Mateo's life in that moment. On the first read through I loved Mateo and Rufus ending up together because it was what I expected from the book, but upon the second read through I almost find myself wishing Mateo and Rufus had just stayed friends. They didn't have nearly as much romantic chemistry in my opinion as Valentino and Orion did in The First To Die At The End. Also, if the Death-Cast call had never happened, Valentino and Orion still would have fallen in love, they just would have had more time together, adding to the tragedy. But Rufus and Mateo most likely never would have met or even been friendly with one another had they not met the way they did. There were hints that they had feelings for each other, but Rufus went from turning down a pretty girl because he was still having feelings for Aimee to suddenly being in love with Mateo and it felt forced, at least on Rufus' end.

Representation: Mateo is gay and Puerto Rican, Rufus is Cuban and bisexual, other characters come from various African American and Latine cultures. Tagoe has a tic, and Deidre, an employee at Make-A-Moment who gets her own chapter, is stated to be a lesbian.

Summary: As I have said before, I am not the biggest fan of some of the dialogue in the Death-Cast books, but that is purely my own preference. Overall, it is an emotional book with a lot of heart-stopping moments and the ending is absolutely devastating, even though you know fully what's going to happen.

Quotes: "It's all going away, everyone and everything is dying. Humans suck, man. We think we're so damn indestructible and infinite because we can think and take care of ourselves, unlike payphones or books, but I bet the dinosaurs thought they'd rule forever too."-Rufus (p. 194) "There are questions I can't answer. I cannot tell you how you will survive without me. I cannot tell you how to mourn me. I cannot convince you to not feel guilty if you forget the anniversary of my death, or if you realize days or weeks or months have gone by without you thinking about me. I just want you to live."-Mateo (p. 322) "I miss when I was so young I didn't know to be afraid of death."-Mateo (p. 336) "I would've loved you if we had more time."-Mateo (p. 342)
