𓆩♡𓆪 how skz would propose to you. 𓆩♡𓆪

BANG CHAN

he would invite you over (or sneak, i should say) to the studio for a date cuz you both do this all the time

sometimes, he plays you snippets of songs he's working on, other times, you're just talking the night away while getting some work done

anyways, today he's playing you one of his songs

you're just completely immersed in the music and when it ends the lingering feeling of wanting more is left behind

how could it not? the song was about spending an eternity with you

you're about to turn around and profess your love for chan for the millionth time when you see him

he's on one knee and lets out a choked, "i meant everything in that song. i didn't know what love was before i met you, but you have shown me love and so much more. marry me?"

ofc you say yes (i mean, i would) and just end up falling asleep on his couch

LEE MINHO

you guys go to your favorite cat cafe, and bring the kids (cats?) along with you too

suddenly, soonie comes along with a note stuck to her back - "will you be our parent? i mean, for real?"

you look at minho who's playing with the cats on the other side of the room, confused, but he doesn't see you

(actually, he's blushing like crazy and is too scared to make eye contact lmao)

that is until you walk over to him and give him a nudge

he's beaming at you (this boy istg) and gets down on one knee

"we can't let our kids be a part of a dysfunctional family. they another parent, and they love having you around. actually, no, they love you. and they wanna grow old with you. so. will you, uhm, marry me? their father?"

(pls im giggling at this myself)

SEO CHANGBIN

you guys are out on a date at a fancy restaurant and changbin's acting extra giggly

now mind you, this is seo changbin. extra giggly is far more than what you would imagine

you're finally done eating and slump against your chair when the server brings another plate of food

you look at changbin with a "bro. i'm full." but the bro in question is just looking at you.

you look down at the tray placed in front of you.

"will you marry me?" it says with a ring in the middle?

"be my permanent gym partner?" asks changbin hopefully

and you say yes (bcuz who in their right mind wouldn't ???)

HWANG HYUNJIN

we all know how extra this man is, so when he insists that you two go to the bookshop where you first met, you don't protest

you're scanning the bookshelf, reminiscing about how you both bonded over monet and jane austen at this very shop

then you here a little gasp in front of you

naturally, your first instinct is to turn around and check on hyunjin

and he is down on one knee, a sobbing mess (but still cute, y'know)

"you have, and always will be my muse," he says, "so will you make me the happiest man alive and do me the honor of being your husband?"

he slides the ring onto your finger and pulls you into a hug and you're both crying and laughing and

(i'm sorry this is so cute, goodbye)

HAN JISUNG

you had made up your mind - is jisung wasn't going to propose to you, you would propose to him

(get it, queen or king or gender non-identifying reader!)

and so you're on your rooftop building when he goes "i need to tell you something" and funnily enough, so do you

(i wonder what that's about... hehehe)

after a series of 'you first', 'no you'. jisung admits defeat and slides you over the ring box

wordlessly, you slide over your box

the two of you just start laughing because, idiots in love

and then you squish jisung and start peppering him with kisses

LEE FELIX

it's a beach date!

absolutely perfect, all complete with bokkie's brownies

but felix is acting kinda nervous.

(and by nervous i mean his face is beet red and he's stuttering like crazy)

(what can you say, my boy is in love)

you're eating the last brownie when he says "close you eyes"

you do and you hear some shuffling.

you open your eyes to a sniffling felix propped up on one knee. "can I be your personal brownie chef for the rest of forever?"

who can say no to an offer like that?

KIM SEUNGMIN

you both were coming home from one of your numerous dates

it was the perfect night to be walking outside, but seungmin seemed really shifty

he was NOT enjoying himself

"are you cheating on me?" you ask jokingly

"far from it actually," he retorts, suddenly letting go of your hand.

you turn to find him in the middle of the street with a ring in his hand

"marry me. will you? please? i've had this ring with me for months and i didn't know when to propose but now i know, well like i always knew-"

you promptly shut him up with a kiss and a breathless yes

YANG JEONGIN

nothing was going according to plan for innie. you spent too much time picking an ice cream flavor and he knew that he was spending too much time at this clothing store

but they just got a new collection

and so he waits until you both are done so that he can take you to that really drmamtic fountain in front of the mall and propose to you

but watching you pick out your clothes, he realizes he wants to do this for the rest of forever

so this man promptly plops down on one knee in the middle of a department store and screams, "WILL YOU MARRY ME AND BE MY SHOPPING BUDDY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE? WE CAN BE EACH OTHERS PROBLEMS"

you just look at him confused holding up a t-shirt, "UH OKAY I'LL MARRY YOU AND WE CAN BE EACH OTHERS PROBLEMS"

you both are so loud that you nearly get kicked

(later he makes you buy him ice cream because he's a baby who's done a good job and deserves a reward)

handyman II l.williamson x reader

just a cute little ficlet based on this request here. handyman II l.williamson

"-love do you have to stop at every single display room?" leah sighed with a tired smile as you collapsed on yet another sofa you had no intention of buying. "lee it's all a part of the experience! come, sit with me." you patted the brown leather with a beaming grin that leah just couldn't say no to as she wandered over and sat beside you.

"now. imagine this is our home-" you started, gesturing to the made up room around you as leah hummed, watching you with a fond smile. "-that's my desk. i put it by the window so that when i work from home i can see outside and people watch." you started, gesturing for leah to continue.

"okay uhh, that's all our photo albums on the bookshelf there. we spent a weekend together making them, they have all of our trips together, special times in our life, dates, our wedding, our kids first moments and experiences." leah smiled softly as you gave her a look of surprise, the blonde not having mentioned children before with you, let alone so casually.

"we mounted the tv to the wall because the kids kept kicking a ball in the house and knocking it over, because someone lets them do it when im not home to tell them off." you teased, leahs happy grin in return making your heart warm at the thought of one day starting a family with her.

"babe this is really fun and all but if we don't shift it the paint warehouse will close and it's not open again until Tuesday." leah checked the time, patting your knee and standing, pulling you with her.

she kept a close eye on you as the two of you made your way through the rest of ikea, grabbing what you needed as leah subtly removed the random things you threw in that she knew you didn't, holding your hand and gently tugging you away as you continued to try and stop at every single room.

"no i think it's that one." you disagreed with your blonde lover who sighed, her patience wearing thin as she paused to calm herself. "it's that one baby, look at the label and the numbers-" she showed you the tag on her phone.

"no because thats a nine, and thats a six!" you argued with her, leah pinching the bridge of her nose. "fine! we'll get the one you want and when it's wrong you can return it on monday while i'm at training." leah decided, her thin veil of tolerance breaking.

you wanted to tell her off for the snide comment, but found yourself far too distracted by her muscles as she grabbed the last flat pack you needed and slid it onto the trolley, opting to roll her sleeves up to her shoulders earlier in the day.

leah impatiently turned around to tell you to hurry up as she wheeled off the trolley and noticed you weren't by her side, but seeing the way your eyes had lightly glazed over and were fixated on her arms a small smirk made its way to her face.

"when you're done drooling over me baby girl i think there's a mop a few aisles back to clean it up." leah teased, snapping you out of it as you hurried to catch up with her, punching her lightly as she stole a kiss, bad mood melted away.

that didn't last very long though.

"babe oh my god just read the instructions!" you groaned, dragging your hand down your face as your girlfriend shook her head stubbornly. "i don't need them, i'm telling you its missing a piece!" leah crossed her arms over her chest, glaring down at the half built coffee table.

"you're so fucking stubborn leah honestly." you grumbled to yourself, snatching the instructions off the floor where she'd tossed them aside, the comment not lost on your girlfriends ears who scowled at you over her shoulder.

"my god leah." you inhaled sharply, squeezing your eyes shut after they'd scanned the paper in your hands. "what?" she huffed, scowl still built into her features. "you've put the fucking top on the wrong way and the base is backwards." you held out the instructions toward her.

"what!" leah scoffed in disbelief, snatching them off of you, face paling as she realised you were correct. "just fix it. i'm going to start putting everything else away in the kitchen." you rolled your eyes, storming out of the room.

leah gave you your space for a few hours, focusing all of her energy into building as much furniture she could, now making sure to actually use the instructions.

the two of you had been bickering relentlessly all weekend over the tiniest of things and though you both knew none of the small tiffs meant anything, those few hours without them were much needed.

the two of you had just bought your very first home together.

you'd lived together for a couple of years, renting and falling even more head over heels for one another. but you'd moved in with leah and as much as she made sure to assure you the place was for both of you, it never quite felt that way.

so with leah extending her arsenal contract for a further three seasons and you running your own business, you'd sat down together and made the decision to buy a place that would be for both of you.

the day you finally got the keys leah carried you bridal style over the threshhold as you smacked her shoulder with a laugh, dropping you down as the two of you ran around the eerily empty house playing tag, giggling like giddy school children.

in typical fashion the very first night you moved in you'd had the absolute bare minimum, the moving truck with the majority of your belongings not due till the next day.

so you'd eaten pizza on the floor and slept in the living room on a cheap blow up mattress, spending the evening playing card games using the pizza boxes as a makeshift table while you watched a movie on leah's laptop.

not the most conventionally convenient first night and with the mattress all but deflating by the time you woke up it was far from the greatest nights sleep, and yet it was perfect.

"hello gorgeous. shall we call it a day?" leah murmured gently, hugging you from behind and softly kissing your neck as you busied yourself unpacking boxes in your bedroom, closing a drawer with a tired sigh and a nod.

"sorry for being cranky." you mumbled into her shoulder, turning around and hugging her properly. "sorry for being so stubborn." leah mumbled into your hair as she placed a kiss there tenderly making you smile.

"we've still not done any groceries!" you groaned in realization of the one errand you'd both neglected to remember today, so busy in your hurrying about from one place to another you realised neither of you had really eaten a proper meal all day.

"well we've got plates and glasses and cutlery now. so even a takeout can be eaten like a proper fancy meal!" leah joked, pecking your lips a few times before letting you go and pulling out her phone, collapsing on the bed.

you curled up into her side, head resting on her shoulder as the two of you browsed your options, leah claiming she didn't mind what you ordered but here she was shooting down almost all your suggestions.

"oh my god leah you choose then!" you laughed, sitting up with a shake of your head as the blonde grabbed the back of your jumper and pulled you back down into her hold. "i don't mind!" the girl assured yet again as you rolled your eyes.

"you say this and yet every single thing i've suggested you can come up with a reason not to order it. so what do you really want love?" your hands grabbed her face gently, thumbs stroking her sharp jawline with an amused smile.

"pizza." leah admitted with a sheepish grin and a pout. "we had pizza two days ago!" you smiled with a shake of your head. "i love pizza and pizza loves me." was all your girlfriend answered with a shrug before attacking your face with kisses, only pulling away to go and order your usual.

"-no a bit more to the left." you hummed, arms crossed as leahs shook, holding up the heavy photo frame which was filled with pictures of the two of you, the thing easily weighed half of her and it was huge.

"baby. with the most peace and love if you don't hurry up and decide where i'm mounting this i am going to shove it up your-" leah started and forced a smile, straining to hold it up as you again directed her to shuffle right then left, then up then down.

"wait stop right there! perfect." you smiled happily with a clap, ignoring her recent comment as leah sighed in relief, placing it carefully down against the wall on the floor as she moved to grab the hooks and nails.

"make sure its straight when you nail it in!" you chatsized, taking a seat on your lounge which had finally arrived, burying your head in your phone. "i'll nail you in a fucking minute." leah mumbled under her breath, you too busy browsing online for some prints for your guest room to hear her.

"baby its crooked." you moaned as leah finally finished, the defenders head slumping against the wall in defeat. "only joking." you grinned, kissing her cheek and smacking her bum as you sauntered past. "i could just...." leah made a strangling motion with her hands behind your back.

"i could hide a body, i've watched enough crime podcasts." the blonde continued under her breath as she packed up her tools. "are you plotting my murder again?" you smiled knowingly, tilting your head as you leaned in the door frame watching her.

"yes i am." leah rolled her eyes, snatching your drink from your hand and chugging it as your jaw dropped. "leah!" you smacked her chest as she sighed happily, handing you back the empty glass and sloppily kissing your cheek in thanks.

"i'd not say no to a sandwich either love." the captain grinned with a wink before disappearing into your bedroom to finish building the side tables she'd started earlier before you demanded her assistance with several other things.

"what am i now then? your little house wife?" you scoffed, following after her, the taller girl smiling cheekily as she swung a hammer around in her hand. "yeah. yeah you are!" leah nodded before squatting down to continue building.

"put a ring on it and maybe we'll talk titles then williamson." you teased, the older girls cheeks flushing red as you smiled and left the room. changing into an old pair of overalls you tied your hair up and grabbed a can of paint, moving into the spare room to continue where you'd left off yesterday.

you'd finished another entire wall by the time leah appeared, having finished the side tables and your tv stand after much swearing and yelling which you'd left her to, not wanting to push her any further despite how easy you knew it would be to wind the blonde up.

"sweets do you know where-" you didn't hear the rest of her sentence, too fixated on the tool belt strapped around her waist, her shorts rolled up and only in her sports bra as of course a heat wave had decided to roll in over the weekend.

"baby? did you hear me?" leah asked somewhat impatiently, tapping her foot and raising an eyebrow as you shook your head wordlessly, eyes roaming her body hungrily. "how do you not know-" leah started though she stopped when she realised what it was which was distracting you.

"now see i wouldn't have pegged you for a girl with a little handyman fantasy." leah smiled cockily, sauntering over as your arms hung limp by your sides. "that makes two of us. but you in a tool belt...baby it's doing things to me." you admitted with a nod of approval.

"would you like me to do things to you my girl?" leah breathed out with a grin, hands grabbing at your hips as her eyes flittered down to lock with yours. no more words needed the taller girl connected your lips.

unlike normal she didn't rush anything, the kiss was slow and sensual and she poured into it every ounce of affection and love she held for you, though as time passed and you seperated momentarily to catch your breath it grew messier.

your head span, feeling as though it was filled with cotton, in a drunken haze off the taste of leahs lips on yours and the way her tongue moved around in your mouth, teeth nipping teasingly at your bottom lip as she suddenly pushed you into the wall causing you to let out a small moan.

however it only took a millisecond before your brain switched back on and you shoved her away, leahs eyebrows creasing into a frown as you gasped, tensing as you felt something wet drip down the back of your neck.

leah opened her mouth to ask what happened but as you took a step forward the blonde swiftly covered her smile with her hand, biting down on her lip with a guilty look sent your way.

for behind you on the still dripping wet wall of paint was now a you sized smudge, the eggshell white now caked in your hair, neck and all down the back of you.

"we could tell people a bird took a shit on you? that's quite good luck!" leah joked, a pause passing between the two of you as your eyes narrowed and she took off, you hastily chasing after her.

you caught her in the kitchen, eyes locked as you circled one another around the island bench in the middle. "now baby really that was your fault." leah shook her head as you scoffed and lunged at her but she easily side stepped you, backing away out of the room as you advanced on her.

"come give me a hug then babe." you smiled, taking further steps toward her as leah looked around for an escape, darting past you and out the back door as you chased after her.

much faster than your girlfriend would ever give you credit for you tackled her onto the grass as she paused to try and evaluate her next steps, landing on top of her with a grin.

"you look a bit pale darling." you teased, grabbing your paintbrush you'd stashed from your back pocket, gently smacking her cheeks with it and painting her face as leah squealed but kept her mouth shut as to not invite any of the paint into it.

you rolled off of her and laid on your back, clutching at your stomach as your laughter echoed around the backyard. though now it was your turn to squeal as leah sat on top of you, wiping her face all over your overalls as you tried to push her off but she swiftly pinned your wrists to the grass.

"no leah its on your lips!" you laughed as the blonde dipped her head to kiss you. "i know!" she scowled playfully, gently kissing both your cheeks and your forehead leaving marks all over your own face.

"shower time?" leah grinned, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively and letting go of your hands as you hit her on the shoulder. "only if you keep the tool belt on." you smirked now making her throw her head back in laughter.

"you know baby i think that can be arranged."

******************

“JOOOOOOOOOOOEL!!!!”

Joel had to pull the phone away from his head as you screamed over the thumping sounds of the club. He hadn’t realized how late it had gotten. While you were out with friends, he had spent the evening and into the warm summer night Sarah’s room putting in a built-in bookshelf. She was on a trip with his parents for a few weeks and wanted to surprise her when she got back. Sarah always wanted a built-in bookshelf. 

“Shit! I’m so sorry darl’n!” Joel ran down the stairs, shoving his feet into his shoes and grabbing his keys. “I lost track of time, I’ll be there in 10!”

Joel was supposed to pick you up at 1 AM from the bar. It was 1:53, and he wouldn’t get there until the bar closed. 

“It’s okay baby!” you didn’t sound peeved at all. “But could we maybe drop off my friends too? Since we’re out anyway?”

He hopped into his car. “Yeah, of course baby, of course. Just stand outside once they close up, don’t talk to no one and don’t go near any cars. Make sure Angie doesn’t wander off with no one.”

You promised to stay on the phone with him until he got there. Joel didn’t like you leaving the bars on your own, too many freaks and perverts out there.

Joel pulled up to find you with your friends standing by the building, and he got out to open the door for you and them. “Sorry the back’s a little messy, ladies, work truck and all- hold on.” As you got in the front, Joel got a blanket from the black and laid it over the seats “There, less dirty.”

Angie, Kat and Lana all thanked Joel, and climbed in the back. 

While Joel drove to Lana and Kat’s, you talked to you rfriends about the night. 

“I can’t believe you danced with him Ang, what the fuck. He cheated on you three times.”

“I knoooooowwww!” She giggled. “But he’s sooooooo cute!!!”

Kat rolled her eyes with a smile. “Girl he looks like a grown up Big Mouth guy.”

“Nick Kroll?”

“What? No. Like the cartoon guy grown up.”

“Yeah, the weird Big Mouth kid was modeled after Nick Kroll so that’s just Nick Kroll? And he’s hot??”

Kat groaned, sinking down into their seat. “No, not Nick Kroll, the one voiced by John Mul- wait, you think Nick Kroll is hot?”

The conversation continued with Angie trying to justify how she wants to give Jake ‘Just one more chance!’

Finally, you turn to Joel. “What do you think, baby?”

Joel sighed, and shifted in his seat a bit. “Well, it ain’t none of my business, and I shouldn’t really git involved…”

You smile at your boyfriend. “But you have an opinion anyway.”

With a good natured huff, he lets it out. “It’s just that Angie, I think you’re a nice gal, and if I may, respectfully, easy on the eyes and I think you could do better than a 30 year old still trying to get his rap career off the ground and looks like a naked mole rat.”

The truck erupted in laughter, including Angie,at Joel’s half-roast, half compliment, and he smiled softly. He liked your friends, and he wanted them to like him too.

*

First up was Kat and Lana. Lana was quite drunk so Joel put the truck in park and helped Kat take her girlfriend inside. Once through the door and up the stairs and safe, Joel said goodnight and locked the door as he left.

Angie was asleep by the time he was back.

“She alright?” He asked about your best friend. 

You mumbled, tired but with a smile. You had a great night, and loved your friends very, very much. “Yeah, she didn’t drink that much. She’s just not used to being up this late”

Joel hummed in recognition. “That’s right, she works the early shift. She’s probably up at like what, 4 AM?”

Turning to him with a bright smile, you giggle a bit. “How do you remember that?”

He shrugged, not thinking much of it. “Angie’s usually the first to leave, so it makes sense.”

You can’t help beam at him, streetlights periodically illuminating his pretty face, strong nose, full cheeks. Your friends mattered to you, them and Joel and Sarah were your everything. So many times, you hear of women whose friends hate their man and vice versa, how there was contention. Hell, Angie’s stupid ass ex never wanted her to hang out with your girlfriends, saying you and them were bad influences, accusing Kat and Lana of trying to sleep with her, etc etc etc. Joel was never like that. 

From the beginning, Joel was respectful, kind, and welcoming to your friends and family. They were welcome over any time, and sometimes came over when you weren’t home to wait for you. You trusted them with Joel and Joel with them. He’d always offer to BBQ something on a warm day, or make you drinks. Slowly, as he’s gotten more comfortable, your precious, shy man has been joking around with them, which makes you smile. Joel was more nervous than he let on a lot of the time, hiding his anti-anxiety pills  from you for months after you moved in. Still, he always welcomed your friends and in return they were respectful of his space and self. 

Pulling up to Angie’s, she’s sleeping like a baby.

“You’re gonna have to carry her and put her to bed, ain’t noth’n wake’n her up once she’s out.” You are about asleep yourself, leaning against the window.

Joel bawled. “I can’t do that!”

“Sure you can, have you seen your arms? Jacked.”

“No- I mean-” He sighed. “I can’t take a drunk lady to her bedroom, it’s indecent!”

“Well she ain’t sleep’n in the truck, c’mon I’ll walk with you. 

Joel sighed again but agreed. Walking around the truck, he unbuckled her, scooped her up and carried her to where you opened your door with your spare key. You guided your boyfriend to the bedroom and excused himself to get her water. There was no way you were gonna be able to put her in pj’s by yourself, so you just unzipped her dress to give her room to breathe and took off her strappy heels. You put fuzzy socks on your feet, the aloe infused kind she loved and covered her in her blankets.

A knock on the door. “She decent?”

“Yeah, come on in.”

Joel placed the glass of water and an Advil on the counter and a trash can by the bedside and said he'd be in the living room.

You sit by your friend’s side, just for a moment, stroking her hair, admiring how pretty your friend was. Beautiful woman, beautiful heart. Your best friend. 

She murmured your name. You took the opportunity to sit her up, making sure she drank some water. “Yes babe?”

“I like Joel a lot.” Angie yawned. “You should keep him.”

You chuckled. “He can’t escape me if tried.”

*

Once she was asleep again, you walk out and take Joel’s hand, wrapping your arms to hang off his. Joel opens the door for you, and you slide into the middle of the seat, snug against him when he gets in the driver’s side.

“Seatbelt.” He reminded you, you mutter ‘blah blah blah’ but he reaches over you and straps you in.

“Love you.”

“Love you too, darl’n.”

You drive down the road, Joel taking the long way home just so you could watch the night sky together. His truck rumbled and vibrated and bounced, but his arm around your shoulder steadied you.

“They like you a lot. My friends.”

“I like them too. And baby, I ain’t try’n.”

You look up at him. “Hm?”

“To escape.” Joel kissed your forehead tenderly. “Heard what you said to Angie, and I ain’t trying to escape. Not in a million years.”

******************

due to everything happening, this will be my last fic for a little. If you know my other writing formates, I will be updating there a bit here and there but with everything going on I think it's best to keep things quiet for a min. the timing is fitting, as I have a lot of projects to do before school finals.

Then, I'll be backand raring to go again! I think a break will do me good.

I love you all dearly!

No tags bc given everything, I don't wanna draw attention from myself to anyone else. Don't feel like you gotta reblog this one, I would suggest you don't to avoid the heat.

Hugs, and thank you to everyone whose supported my writing for the last 3 years.

☆ the boxers at a escape room ☆

did this because i felt bad about not posting, will post a weekly update during the weekend + some art hopefully, ive had this on my shoulders for a while, this is so cringe fail

Build-Up

Okay so i made up lore for this escape room:

It's an abandoned hotel, decorated all fancy, theres old couches, fake rotary phones and a bunch of weird symbols used later in the puzzles.

It's really colorful but the theres barely any lightning because the vibes need to be settled, theres a lot of puzzles, including: puns, math and the weird symbols mentioned

The lore starts as a hotel shutting down after a serial killer takes over & goes on a massacre, theres a time limit of 2 hours, when the time is over the game is done & a dude with a really bad voice effect says "the killer has got you" Before the doors open

When theres only a few minutes left, a buzzing sound effect plays

Theres a lot of "fake" spiderwebs with cryptid texts too so enjoy that

Glass Joe

- struggling with the puzzles, his brain is melting

- "we have to turn on the TV for clues i think"

- "or a baking show"

- "either way im watching"

- hes not taking this seriously, at all

- keeps using a prop phone like its real & talking on it, ended up getting into a argument with the air

- laying down on the decorative couches "draw me like one of your french girls.." style when hes tired

- "we're gonna die, is the killer hot at least?"

Von Kaiser

- complete opposite with Joe, hes taking this seriously, too serious

- "I WILL NOT LET THEY EVIL HOTEL MAN KILL US ALL. NO!"

- acting like the evil hotel man will actually get him

- doing really good with the math puzzles, hes a natural

- dialing 911 on the fake rotary phone

- runmaging through everything, no chair left un-thrown, no couch left un-turned, no drawer left closed

- when the 10 minutes notice ringed in he screamed like a goat

Disco Kid

- Just bored, he got dragged along and doesnt feel like doing anything

- "does the TV have anything interesting on it"

- "Disco we are being chased by a evil serial killer i dont think you should be so calm"

- escape rooms dont have enough charm for him like haunted houses

- doing cartwheels across the room, accidentally knocked over a bookshelf and revealed a clue

- hes already done with this shit, let him out

King Hippo

- doesnt have any idea whats going on, hes just confused

- doesnt know whether to help kaiser or laugh with Joe

- thinks the argument between Joe and the air is real

- hes so lost

- "mom i frew up" pose while watching everyone do the puzzles

Piston Hondo

- calmly trying to do the puzzles

- trying to help kaiser calm down

31 - Not out of the woods Yet

Part 32

Family is More than Blood

@icefrye19 @secretdreamlandmentality

Standing in the middle of the stairwell doorway I sukcked im a breath feeling anger welling throughout my entire body. Alyssa still had the white oak stake shoved inside my husband’s chest. Raising my right hand I vamped forward causing her to grab her head in agonizing pain. “Ah sha lana…ah sha lana!”

“You can’t kill me, Raelyn!” She winced, holding her head and lowering herself down onto her knees.

Throwing her against the wall with my other hand she grunted at the impact. Rushing over to Nik's side he gasped harshly. I could see his skin turning Grey and the veins begin covering his whole body. Dropping myself down onto my knees I wrapped my fingers around the stake yanking it out so harshly that I fell backwards onto the wooden floor. “Urgh!....please work.” I mumbled to myself seeing his body remaining the same for a few good seconds.

His blue eyes shot open and he sat upright holding a hand over the wound that began healing. “Raelyn!”

“Oh…thank god.” Placing my hand over my heart I sighed in relief.

Hope came rushing over to my side. “Mom, are you back?”

“Yeah sweetie. I'm back - look out!” I cried pointing towards Alyssa or better yet the Hollow who had managed to remove herself from the wall spell.

The witch stands in front of us where I turned my hands into fists at my sides. Hope got in a fighting position beside me. “What are we going to do to her?”

“It doesn’t matter what you try on me, heretic. Only your daughter's can kill me in case you've forgotten.” The Hollow walked around with her hands clasped together behind her back proudly.

Alina growled under her breath moving forward and trying to kick Alyssa but she sensed the attack. She grabbed her ankle and swung her around in circles for a good minute before releasing her grip and threw her into the nearest bookshelf. “Alina!”

“I’m okay…” She gasped for breath, lifting her head up slightly when I called her name.

Missy scrambled to her feet snapping her wrists and throwing her hands out in front of her. “Ventus.” Alyssa cried out getting thrown backwards by the amount of magic she blasted her with.

“What are we supposed to do, heretic queen?” Klaus came over to my side finally getting to his feet ready to fight.

Quickly scanning the room I knew that we defeated the Hollow before with my kids blood and the knife that he killed her centuries ago. At the moment that knife was back in New Orleans with Freya and Vincent so we had to stall until we could get it from them. “We can’t kill her yet. We don't have what we need…or maybe we do.” I admit to him eyeing the white oak stake on the ground.

“What are you thinking?” He asked me where my gaze had landed.

Calling my eldest daughter she came over to us quickly. “Hope, cut your palm and drop your blood on the stake. Alina, Missy, you do the same.” Snatching the stake from the wooden ground handing it over to my first born child.

She nods using the end of the stake to cut her palm, drawing blood. She drops her blood, handing it over to Missy who follows her sister's action biting into her wrist making it bleed. “Alina, it's your turn.” Missy handed it to her and she cut her palm, gripping the stake in her hands before she launched it towards the hollow.

Alyssa raised her hand, stopping it with her hand throwing Klaus and our daughters backwards. She looked in my direction where I mumbled quietly under my breath turning invisible. “Invisique.” My whole body wasn't visible to her, giving me the opportunity to grab the stake that she had frozen in front of her chest.

“I’ve had just about enough of you, Hollow!” My husband grunted getting to his feet. He vamped towards her smacking into a barrier spell holding his head. “What the hell have you done?”

The Hollow glanced around confused. “That wasn’t me, hybrid.”

“Then who was it!” He questioned her, seeing a hand turning red against the barrier he had just smacked into.

Keeping my eyes shut briefly I became visible to their eyes once more. My freehand was pressing against the barrier with me muttering a spell. “Guess again, bitch!….Imperium monstrum.”

“Rae. We aren’t going through this again!” Klaus hit his fists on the barrier between him and the us now.

I shake my head pressing the stake into her back where I could smell the fresh blood dripping onto it. Now that it had my daughter's blood on it could actually kill her once and for all. “I’m sorry, Nik. But she has to die.”

“You said we shouldn’t kill if there’s another way.” Missy sent me some sad eyes.

Alina got to her side flashing her werewolf eyes while Hope had nothing else to add onto their statements. “Forget that. She took over Alyssa’s body and almost ruined our family. She took away mom’s memories. She tried to kill us too many times. I don’t see a problem with it!”

“Raelyn, don’t do this.” Klaus begged me with those blue eyes.

Shifting the tip of the stake up to her heart the hollow winced when I slowly pushed it inside her back. “This has to be done, Nik….urgh! Magia tollux de terras… Magia tollux de terras…Magia tollux de terras!” I began chanting, shoving the stake through her heart hearing her cry. At the same time my freehand gripping her shoulder blade turned red and siphoning the magic from her into my bloodstream.

I sucked in a shaky breath focusing my gaze to my husband seeing the same terrified gaze he had when I performed a spell like this one. But I didn’t regret what I was doing. This was to protect my family. To protect the school and the kids that attended it. And that image would remain burned in his memory for all eternity.

“Klaus, I need you to listen to me. I wish we had more time together. Because you are honestly everything I never knew I could have. I…I don’t know what I feel for you but I deeply care about you. So go live your life for me…Magia tollux de terras.” I started crying imagining that I never got to truly be with him. But he needed to live more than I did so that Caroline and the others could.

Klaus vamped forward not caring that the flames grew banging on the magical barrier crying some strong tears for me. “Raelyn! No, no, Rae. Don’t you dare do anything. Stop it, Rae….I deeply care for you too…”

“Magia tollux de terras……Magia tollux de terras.” I grunted forcing myself to my feet stumbling around with blood falling down onto my clothes as I walked towards Finn and Esther.

Grabbing Finn by his shoulder I limped in between the pair gripping Esther by the forearm where she winced sharply staring down at my red hand on both her and her son. “What the hell are you doing, girl!”

“Magia tollux de terras!” I declared gasping sharply feeling her energy running through her, but it was a lot more than I was ever used to. My eyes began rolling to the back of my head and I coughed out some blood from my mouth and nose. Black veins were appearing on my hands drawing her magical source from her

Klaus banged the barrier again hearing my heart almost giving out. “Raelyn, stop it. You have to let go before it kills you - Raelyn!”

Once they were gone I couldn’t stand on my own where I collapsed onto the dirt and salt beneath me. My blonde hair was dirty and stained with blood from where my neck was still bleeding from Finn’s bite. Someone vamped forward lifting my head where I struggled to meet the blue gaze of the hybrid. “Rae, Rae, hey, hey. Look at me please. I need you to keep your eyes open for me.”

“Nik…” I wrapped my fingers around one of his wrists, not able to keep my eyes open any longer.

My body started swaying like it had back then. The Hollow moaned in pain and I felt her body getting heavier against mine. She stumbled backwards and I could hear her heartbeat slowing down. “You can’t kill me, Heretic…”

“Really cause it looks like I’m winning the war right now.” I whispered in her ear, scraping my fangs against her neck, feeling her shiver against the fresh tips. Twisting the stake that was inside her chest she grunts harshly once more. My other hand on her shoulder gripped tighter for balance and I could see the black veins reappearing back across my body yet I didn’t ever let go. “Don’t mess with the Mikaelson’s!”

The hollow screamed out collapsing onto the wooden floor when I yanked the stake out from her chest, staining my clothes in blood. “Argh!….un.”

“Rae!” Klaus vamped forward managing to break through the spell that was now broken. He gently grabbed a hold of my forearms seeing that my body was swaying side to side. “You made the veins come back, love.”

“Nik, I’ll be fine….” I mumbled under my breath letting the bloody stake clatter to the wooden floor. My eyes began getting heavy and I could barely keep them open where my body fell forward to his chest.

He quickly caught my body and scooped me up in a bridal style. “Woah…easy now. You don’t see fine, Raelyn.” Laying my head against his embrace I gripped his shirt in my fingers.

“Dad, is she going to be okay?” Missy asked him.

Hope eyed Alyssa’s body on the ground. “I’ll handle her before anyone else sees this.”

“I still say she deserved it.” Alina smirked, not upset that I had staked her.

Klaus put his attention on our daughters hearing crying coming from the twins bedroom. He vamped, still carrying my body closely to his chest. He lays me down on the bed where I struggled to keep my eyes open seeing baby Charming crawling around on the floor and the curtains were blowing around with the light’s flickering around in the wind he was creating. “Klaus, what’s going on with our boy?”

“I don’t know. I’m more worried about you, heretic queen.” My husband came over to me touching the side of my face seeing that the black veins hadn’t gone away. “How are you feeling?”

Coughing into my sleeve I saw Rapunzel trying to get to her feet and climb on the edge of the bed. She came over to me touching my arm and I winced seeing her hand turn red meaning she was a siphoner until her twin brother. “Ah Rapunzel!”

“Little niece, we have a problem.” I gasped somewhat recognizing the voice that called me that old nickname. Blinking through some tears my vision began blurring where I saw a figure standing by my husband that appeared to be my dead uncle Joshua.

Croaking out I didn’t understand what the Hollow’s magic was doing to me. “Uncle Joshua, no. You’re…you’re dead.”

“Raelyn, there’s no one there.” Klaus glanced over his shoulder seeing nobody was there. “I’m calling Freya right now.”

Shaking my head the veins growing up my arm started burning through my blood making me wince sharply. My dead uncle came and sat down on the bed and put Rapunzel down in his lap. “How am I seeing you right now?”

“Because you're on the verge of death after taking that magic again. If you don’t get rid of it soon you will die. You can’t hold onto that much power all at once.” Uncle Joshua warned me, eyeing baby Charming. “That’s not the only warning I have for you.”

Charming coughed and the glass in the window cracked. Rapunzel watched her brother and clasped her hands together causing one of the pillows beside my head to burst into feathers. “What else could be worse than the fact that I’m dying from black magic yet again?”

“I don’t know how but these little guys aren’t spared from the family curse like we originally thought. After Kai escaped his prison world I could feel something changing in heaven and I can’t explain it.” My uncle explained in a shaky breath.

Covering my face with my hands I didn’t want to believe him. It had to be the dark magic inside me trying to play tricks on my mind. I knew that I had spared anyone in my bloodline. I just couldn’t save Lizzie and Josie from the Merge. “You’re a trick by the Hollow. Charming and Rapunzel don’t have to merge. I took care of it years ago. I know I did.”

“I’m sorry to say that when Kai escaped something was reset. Either by his hand or somebody else I don’t know.” Uncle Joshua sucked in a worried breath meeting my gaze. “Alina and Missy are spared. But he spelled these two with something dark.”

I gulped still in strong denial of what he was telling me. “Uncle Joshua, you’re lying.”

He slumped his shoulders and disappeared the second that Klaus came back into the room informing me that Freya was on her way from Orleans. “I wish I could say I was, little niece. But Rapunzel and Charming will have to merge at some point.” Shutting my eyes I laid my head back feeling my whole body shaking and my heart was getting tighter in my chest even though I was a vampire. The Mikaelson’s aren’t out of the wood’s just yet.

Comments really appreciated ❤️

[x-authorship-x]

Hello hello im here to ask if you or any of the other anons have squad two thoughts they're willing to share because i like,, miss them so bad man?? I've already started rereading my favorite moments from the hope au. Congrats you made me fall in love with your portrayal of them and ruined me for all other takes.

Awwwww Anon, I was gonna dig up a cute squad excerpt for you but all... Well, here 😂

(Tenzo was two beers in and his face had already begun to flush that lovely rose-pink, darkest at the apples of his cheeks and then spreading down his throat.

With his hair in a loose bun at the nape of his neck and dressed in just his black ANBU fratigues, he looked especially soft; he’d been with the Base Kids again, as he was most days without a mission to liven things up, and that often meant therapy gardening with Yamanaka Gen.

His presents this year had been the usual mixture of useful and indulgent; Shisui had bought him a glass terrarium, since Sora had said it was self-sufficient and some could form their own atmospheres.

…on the other end of the spectrum, Genma had bought Tenzo a parenting book that Tenzo didn't seem to know if he should be humiliated by or thankful for; Shisui, who was struck by the sense he’d glimpsed the spine of said book on Inoichi’s bookshelf before Ino had been born, had chosen to be mortified on Tenzo's behalf anyway.)

So, they’d had dinner, there had been a few beers, toasted Tenzo’s good health for - roughly - eighteen years alive and it had been fine!

Raidou’s birthday, a few weeks later, hadn't even been celebrated on the actual day because he’d been trapped into a gathering with his civilian family - twenty-five apparently opened the floodgates for the matchmakers - and they’d merely grabbed brunch the next day to toast him.

(“You look awful,” Shisui marvelled, too surprised to be embarrassed by his foot-in-mouth greeting.

Raidou, who looked more like he’d been dragged through TG-49 with a case of sake than survived a large dinner with extended family, shot Shisui an uncharacteristically resentful look over the rim of his coffee mug. Shisui then, in muted horror, watched Raidou dump five teaspoons of sugar into it. 

“What…?”

“You don't have problems until you have aunties like I do.”

Shisui opened his mouth to comment that he was literally an Uchiha; Raidou held up a hand to stall the words before they could emerge.

"Don't."

Unwilling to kick the hornet's nest, Shisui let the declaration lie and, insead, held the small bundle he’d wrapped in some of Sora’s tissue paper out like a peace offering. Inside, he'd managed to take advantage of Mikoto's contacts to get sealing ink fit for tattooing.

“Um. Do you want your present now or…?”)

I'm really happy you love my interpretations of this lot, thank you for your lovely words!! ❤️

Soobin🍞: Get Taehyun and Beomgyu online. I will explain

Soobin started to explain, how Yeonjun found out.

2 days ago…

Yeonjun was pacing around the living room, when he heard laugh at 1am. He knows that no one laughs whilist studying, more like tears and quietness. He also heard some Japanese coming Taehyun room. He always claims that he is learning Japanese.

Yeonjun: Okay, be cool about it. Slip in his room pretending to check up on his study and put the camera there. This will provide a solid proof that Taehyun has been lying all along. Finally Soobin, will stop bragging about him whenever he talks to someone!

Yeonjun knocks on Taehyun door, he had some shuffling and as well the sound been turned off.

Taehyun: Come in!

Yeonjun walk in the room and placed his arm on Taehyun bookshelf (mainly to plant his camera, without Taehyun being suspicious).

Yeonjun:*smiles* you still studying get some sleep! Don’t want your little brain to explode

Taehyun: Appa, I have to study to make you all proud!! I promise to sleep after I finish with this page

Yeonjun: Alright son, don’t stay up too late!!

After Yeonjun left Taehyun room, he gave a snicker and said ‘that teaches you to ever lie me’

It is the next morning, Yeonjun stealthily retrieved the camera from Taehyun room. Getting ready to show Soobin, the truth!

Later on in the afternoon…

Soobin once again, won’t stop bragging about Taehyun achievements. Yeonjun had enough and decided to show Soobin the video.

After watching the video…

Soobin: He has been playing us all this long!!

Yeonjun: I TOLD YOU! NO ONE LAUGHS WHILIST STUDYING!!

Yeonjun: How about we punish him, I can do it my way

Soobin: NO I mean no, you already traumatised one of our kids no need for two more

Soobin: But his grade didn’t actually fall though….

Yeonjun: You have a point…

Soobin: Shall we pretend, we didn’t know and let him continue

Yeonjun gave the are you serious look, the trouble he went through. To catch Taehyun. Right on cue, the smiling Taehyun came back home with smile after another successful school day.

Yeonjun saw Taehyun and immediately beckon him over.

Taehyun: Yes Appa? I need to go study now-

Yeonjun: To study or to watch anime? Which one you need to be specific?

Taehyun: Of course studying, what else? I don’t do anime

Yeonjun gave the biggest laugh ever and rolled on the couch laughing. With a very confused soobin at his side.

Taehyun: Did I say something funny?

Yeonjun: Even lying through you teeth!!

Taehyun: I don’t tell lies!

Soobin: Stop being childish Yeonjun! We saw something and how could you lie to us

Soobin showed Taehyun the video, which Yeonjun took. Taehyun face went pale

Taehyun: I can explain, please don’t punish me

Before any of the parents could answer, Taehyun ran to his room. He immediately knew who it is and determined to get his revenge

End of flashback….

Soobin🍞: This what really happened! I don’t know why your Appa wants to prove Taehyun hasn’t studied

Yeonjun😎: YOUR BRAGGING IS ANNOYING ME!

Heuningkai🐧: Wait what? It wasn’t beomgyu but Appa???

Soobin🍞: Yes, your appa just want to prove a point…

hey Пчёлка! (sorry for the unoriginality but it's literally 3am 😅)

IT SNOWED TODAY!!!! not a lot but i'm still excited :D

I gotta answer the favourite ice cream flavour question from the ask game first because I've found out something very interesting.

Ok so i'm about to say something very weird and apparently very Canadian, but my favourite ice cream flavour is tiger tail(tiger tiger, tiger, tiger stripe. I've seen many variations) ANYway this is gonna sound like a weird combo if you haven't tried it but it's basically orange ice cream with black licorice ice cream swirled throughout it (weird ik) but while I was looking up the actual proper name of the ice cream I found out it's a Canadian only thing, not only that but it's a regional flavour so only certain parts of Canada has it???

anyway I fell down a loop hole and now need to know what you call the metal shopping carts at the store, knitted caps that you wear during winter, and also what do you call you 1 dollar coins? (buggy, tuque, and loonie for me)

November kinda sucked but it's the last week (were'd all the time go?) I started a new job this week which is really exciting

DUDE I WAS JUST ABOUT TO START PRIORY OT THE ORANGE TREE! it's been sitting on my bookshelf for way too long

I finally seen legally blonde and it was sooooo good, I watched in with a group so i'll probably need to re-watch it later, oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

IT isn't actually that scary unless you don't like clowns, in which case it might not be your piece of cake

man weather is so weird. one time at the end of august I remember it started to snow while we were driving home not for very long but still strange. I had you use the converter thingy to understand 70°F but 21°C IS UNREASONABLE FOR FALL! THAT SOUNDS TERRIBLE. Right now its -1°C with the low for tomorrow(today now) at -13°C which i'm kinda dreading.

it's not really important but I did want to say when I started talking to you I was using she/they(i think i was?) but now i'm using they/them so that's cool I guess 👍

regale me with your random LOTR facts I only knew 2 of the last facts so if you have more i'd love to hear them!

I also liked to mix up spices when cooking as a kid. Most of the time it didn't work well but one time I found out that if you're making a sweet carrot cake (or cakes like that) and you're making cream cheese frosting, adding a bit of garam masala to the frosting adds a bit of a kick and cuts the sweetness in a non overpowering way!

i'm so glad I can further continue my 'everyone I talk to must listen to alvvays' agenda. I don't think I have a favourite song on the album but I do love Pressed and Belinda Says. Also turns out that Blue Rev is a Canadian only drink made Ontario.

y'know what's homophobic to me specifically? Both my favourite bands have only 1 show here and it's in Toronto (very far from me) IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. Toronto winters aren't particularly nice.

Music thoughts from the last couple of days are really old french songs (the classics from like Lucienne Boyer and Edith Piaf, that kind of music) they all kinda remind me of the comforting orange of street lamps in the dark and drawing before going to bed

IM SO SORRY MY INBOX INTIMIDATES ME AND SOMETIMES I JUST IGNORE IT

Hello my darlin’ El!! My favorite Canadian! My favorite anon!

Nothing to apologize for, my dear. That nickname is probably my favorite ever, I’ll never get tired of it

SNOW, that’s so cool!!! We actually got a little bit here in the last couple weeks too! Barely any, but something!! Just a ✨dusting✨

Okay so that sounds so strange and I HAVE to try it. If I ever visit Canada, I am searching this out 👀 Idk if it’s regional, but we have a snow cone flavor called tiger’s blood! It’s kind of like a fruit punch sort of flavor. I was more of a cotton candy kid. Or the weirdo who got banana flavor

Regional dialects are so fucking cool!!! For us, it’s shopping cart, beanie, and penny!idk what it is but tuque is just such a fun word. Very pleasing to say, feels nice, idk. Maybe I’m just a weirdo LMAO. I’m trying to think of some of the weirder regional words, but my brain is so empty right now.

Oh congrats on the new job!!! How is it going?? I’m sorry your November was rough, I hope December treated you more kindly! It’s been a rollercoaster for me, but I have a feeling 2023 will be a good year for me. I’m being stubbornly optimistic 🫡

Speaking of!!! Happy new year! Do you have any resolutions??

Did you start Priory? If you have, what do you think?? It’s high on my list, but I recently got One Last Stop and Gideon the Ninth, so I bumped it down. I’ve GOT to read OLS so I can read the Ronance au, and Gideon the Ninth is just,,, lesbian necromancers in space and I’ve been obsessed with it despite not reading it ever

Oklahoma weather my beloathed! She’s a wicked she-devil!! We’ve gone from a pleasant 21°C to -29°C wind chills in the span of a week!! I love it soooooooo much!!! (Kill me please.) I hope your weather has been tamer and you’re staying warm up north!!

Oh that’s so cool dude!! Good to know!! I’ll make sure I remember <33 They/them pronouns kinda hit different man. I’ve swapped mine officially from she/they to they/she. Not a huge difference but something in my chest feels so much lighter with they 🥰 Gender fuckery is fun

More silly LOTR facts, eh? Well, J*ke G*llenhall auditioned for the role of Frodo Baggins! Supposedly it was one of the worst auditions! Christopher Lee, Saruman, is the only actor to have met JRR Tolkien himself! Believe it or not, Nicolas Cage was the original pick to play Aragorn! I still think Viggo Mortensen is one of the best casting choices of all time tho, sorry Nick

Oh I’ve never heard of that! I’m writing it down for future baking purposes 🫡 I have recently discovered that garlic powder and onion powder are my best friends and I will put that shit on everything

Incredible choices! I need to give the album another listen. Maybe I can Ronanceify a song in your honor <33

That’s terrible!!! I am so very sorry <33 I get the feeling man, even a lot of US tours just,,, skip over Oklahoma. I’m sooooooooo bitter about Noah Kahan not stopping by somewhere I can see him. The closest show is a state away, 4 hour drive with current gas and hotel prices? YIKES. But! I got Paramore tickets and I WILL lose my entire shit that day

Definitely will check those out! Personal music thoughts for me,, still obsessing over the entire Stick Season album, but The View Between Villages especially. Been really into the hot gay girl shit/lesbian villain arc kind of genre. Devil Is A Woman by Cloudy June? Incredible

With warmth and sincere apologies for the weight,

- Max/Lo

okay under a cut because it’s kind of long but i promise it’s funny and it will make you laugh!

15- is there a place you consider home?

nova scotia for sure which is funny because i’ve never actually lived there but that’s where my parents grew up. most of my summers growing up were spent there visiting family and my parents friends and my parents always referred to it as home so that’s something i’ve inherited :’) little tangent i think that’s why kate beatons memoir ducks hit so hard because my parents left nova scotia to seek better jobs/lives in alberta but home/nova scotia was so ingrained in them that it was passed on to me. anyway!

okay heres my favourite and in retrospect the funniest thing to happen to me…

the first time i ever babysat my siblings i was eleven (brother was 9 sister was 5) and my mum promised me ten dollars for four hours. the only rule was i had to clean up after dinner and no one was playing outside and no one was coming inside. well about an hour in my brothers friend brady (who was an only child and a spoiled brat) comes to the door and asks “can brad play.” i said no but this kid was fucking relentless so i said okay fine. five minutes then you have to go because no one’s allowed inside. about five minutes later i go to kick my brothers friend out and as im telling him he has to leave he’s bouncing on an exercise ball against my brothers bookshelf and this crib board fell and hit him on the head. me and my brother go “holy shit brady are you okay?” and he’s like yeah i’m fine BUT. it hit his forehead and anyone who’s ever hit their forehead knows that that shit BLEEDS. a lot. so he sees his blood covered hands and he loses his shit and starts running all over the carpeted upstairs screaming call 911 call 911!!! now i knew he didn’t need an ambulance he just MAYBE needed stitches but my dumbass handed the phone to him so he could dial his mum. this fool dials 911 and passes it to me.

okay context break in alberta if you call 911 and hang up you get fucking fined because 911 still needs to come to make sure you’re alive. it’s an insane fine too it was like 1000 dollars back then. and this was on a landline phone so they would have known who did this and who’s house to come to. so i’m on the phone with the operator trying to save my parents a thousand dollars and i think she thought his head injury was a lot worse than it was because she was asking if i could see bone and if he was conscious.. etc. anyway as im on the phone brady and brad have settled on the stairs. brady took his shirt off and wrapped it around his head and was overall acting like he was a soldier dying in the trenches. brad was crying and holding his hand and saying “please ellie don’t let brady die.” and i was like he’s going to be fine…. anyway the ambulances come i ran barefoot to this kids house to get his mum the whole neighborhood is outside our house and im having the biggest panic attack of my life. all my neighbors (including the former nhl player and his wife) were like “ellie it’s going to be okay. accidents happen. everything is going to be okay.” but i knew better because i broke the one rule!!! the police are there because technically three children were left unattended and they called my mum home from her yoga class. she comes home and i’m sitting in our home office and sobbing and i said “i never want to babysit again…” and she was like don’t worry :) you won’t. now i have to go to the police station to prove im not a neglectful parent. meanwhile our house looks like a crime scene because there is blood EVERYWHERE (he went in every fucking room of the house and got blood on every surface. the tv in the living room. my little sisters room. the WALLS. the carpet the floor the couch. etc) because he was running all through our house screaming call 911. the next morning i threw up and i told my mum and she was like tough shit. get ready for school. my dad was on a business trip to houston and he face timed me and i got so excited because his trips were so busy he didn’t get to call often. so i pick up and it was just a call to say how disappointed he was. EVENTUALLY my parents asked me what happened and they felt bad at how mad they were at me so it has a happy ending but man. very edward little coded of me i have to say. like and comment if you made it to the end. mwah <3

[diah-the-demon]

yeah this really feels like we're somewhere on stage talking into a microphone as people pass by and can listen, but yeah agreed, it feels weird when it's not tumblr skljdlsk

ooh I hope you can go there then!! I've had one in my area for a few years that was star wars, star trek and doctor who focused and it was so much fun,, unfortunately with covid coming around it has ended </3 missing it greatly

and oh no D: yeah unfortunately the kids toys break so easily which surprises me ngl,,, you'd expect kids toys to be a bit more sturdy given that kids will play around with it wildly and ksljdslk omg that sounds adorable ngl!! I think I know which masks you mean, I still see kids wearing them every now and then around halloween or carnival

yeah,,, I've gottten a tiny bit better by now (and by that I mean: I will get it but feel bad about it instead of not getting it and feeling sad about that klsjdlsk) I hope you'll eventually get better with it as well! it's so sad how much stuff like this can linger on your brain TT-TT

yeah I think it said 7 more days, so I hope I'll have enough time bcs her shedule changed and now she's at work so I can't ask her TT-TT hopefully it'll last til the weekend when we could order it (if she says yes skldjslk I doubt she wouldn't but still skjdlsk)

okay, yeah, your bookshelf is definitely already cool! But yeah the helmets are going to make it even better, no matter where exactly they will be placed klsdjl

yeah you coudl probably figure it out on your own once you get the basics, even if it is for another set of armor at first! With the basic understanding that should definitely be doable!!

and hmm, I've not build armor yet myself (will have to do so eventually tho,,, I wanna cosplay one of HI3 Himekos battlesuits after all ksjdsl) but it does already sound like a solid idea!! but yeah until you know if it works or not you have an idea at least so that's a good start!

yeah im still not used to it but i think its quite nice to have smth like a constant conversation like this thats lasted almost a full day now jdsljkds, i think its a nice change of pace jdsklkjds

hopefully i can get there when its being held! im not sure when it happens each year but il look that up later and see if i can find dates (hopefully im not gonna be busy when it happens dsjlkkdsj) and awww that sucks, i hope they come back eventually it would suck if it died off forever </3

yeah idk why they were so fragile, they weren't big so i think they were probably childrens sized ones that we had, it doesnt make much sense to expect kids to not hit 2 lightsabers together in a duel like come on

IT WAS! i dont think i have any pictures of it sadly </3 i wouldnt have even had a phone yet probably i think so pictures would probably be on my mums phone

the mask was so cool, it even had a voice changer in it! it was fucking awesome, when you breathed it would replace it with the darth vader breathing sound AND it would even make you sound like vader when you spoke!! idk how something from when i was a kid was able to do something like that but it was awesome. sadly the voice changer in it died a while ago, it still slightly worked but not consistently last time i put it on D:

yeah hopefully we both fully get over it eventually, i probably start to until either her or i move out, but yeah its so weird how it stick in your head so long, i need to refresh my brain so i can get it out lkdsjdjsl

dont want to make you feel like you need to do it sooner but it said 7 days yesterday and also today.. i didnt check how long it was when i bought my stuff (i bought the stuff on the 5th) but it might've been 7 days still.. altho i guess by the weekend it would still be 7 days after that.. hopefully it is still on by the time you talk to her!! (just checked and it might be going on until they completely sell out?? its a clearance sale so maybe? idk id probably do it sooner rather than later just incase tho)

Oh btw when you do place your order they will email you to verify the card (send a picture of the last 4 digits to confirm. It is a little bit sus but ive seen no one say this one is a scam so i dont think it is, plus they cant rlly do much with only the last 4 digits)

thank you!! it will def look so much cooler when i get the helmets in! still need to figure out where i can put the 2 extras apart from ontop of the bookshelf cause too many on there doesnt seem too good idk

yeah that sounds like the plan il do for this, try the basics, might try doing clone trooper armour to begin with if its not harder than mandalorian cause il have captain rex's helmet! imagine a female clone trooper tho that'd be so cool (totally not so i can check out her tits shush jdskls, i mean there was a female clone of jango but she isnt a trooper, and is a child since i dont think she had the accelerated growth the others did? idk not that caught up in that bit of lore)

i think its probably what they are going to say to do, i doubt they would stitch/pin it right to the bodysuit cause that would be a pain to take off (imagine having to go to the toilet after putting it on that would be so annoying to take off skdjdslkj) if it all goes well il share the progress so you can take some tips on building the armour for himeko jlsdkdjs!!

Chapter 1: Origins

My name is Peter W Parker. I was bitten by a radioactive spider, and for the past 6 months I've been the one and only spiderman. You know the rest but just in case i'll give you a recap. Got into a big fight with my parents. Went into a rebelious phase. Lost my mom. Met my new best friend. Maybe that was too short of an explination, should i start from the beginning? Okay but im just letting you know its not a pretty story.

It all started when my parents decided to move to new york. They thought i would become a star, and yeah sure it sounds cool but i missed my friends back in oklahoma. "don't mope, Penny" my mother says as i stare out the window of the moving car on the freeway "don't tell me what to do" i snap back. I hear her speaking but i put on my headphones to tune it out. I'm lucky im in the back seat or else she probably would have ripped them off my head like i lion scratching something with its big claws. My mom says they're just doing whats best for me but in reality they just want to be the parents of a famous actor. I haven't told them but i actually wanna be a musician, well not a musician just someone with a guitar. I also want to change my name so my parents have nothing to do with me.

As trees pass by it slowly melts into forms of condos so i know we're close to the new place. The condos look small, which is nowhere near comparable to the house back in Ardmore. For some odd reason that house's rent yearly was cheaper than monthly pay here. Why did we move here again? Oh right, so i can become a broadway star. If you couldn't tell that was sarcasm, hey i should be a comedian, I can see the headlines now. 'New comedian and musician makes horrible joke about homophobic parents' yeah sounds about right.

"Penny, come here and help your father with the boxes" Says the witch who likes to call herself mother. "no" i respond "i wasn't asking" i let out a irritated groan before bringing a box or two of mine up to my room. Why can't that witch carry in boxes herself? She looks like one too with the white strands in her hair and her huge nose, thank god i got my dad's genes. He's pretty ugly too but i'd pick small lips over hocus pocus any day. When i got to my room on the third floor it had a slanted ceiling to match the roof. On the taller side there was a window leading to the outside with nothing underneath. Good to know that if there was every a fire i'd be burnt toast or a flat pancake, I feel really safe right now. Or hungry.

Looks like aunt May already set my room up with the moving guys before we got here. My bed was in the corner right beside my night stand with the bottom of my bed towards my window. Then my dark blue and black desk beside my window also. On the the shorter side of my room had my White childhood 2x3 bookshelf with white sticker residue on the side from old stickers i put on there as a kid then previously ripped off before we moved. I opened a box and began putting old toys and books on my bookshelf when i found a pair of scissors. I had the best plan ever, I was a genius, or at least that's how i felt at the time.

I make my way to the bathroom and looked in the mirror as i began cutting my long curly brown hair as it fell in the sink. i stare at my dead hair in the bowl infront of me before i began to freak out. I didn't know what to do but for some reason i thought it was a good idea to keep going. i finish cutting my hair to see a big poof around my head. I was crying but at the same time laughing, maybe i was laughing at how stupid i looked and crying knowing i'd get my ass beat. "ow" I whisper as i slap my left arm to see a spider. i shout and flail my arm around and when the spider fell i couldn't find it. "is everything okay in there?" i hear a shout from the other side of the door that sounded like my father "im fine" i shout back. i put a baindaid on my arm before i wet my hair putting product in my hair.

I pull my hoodie over my head and quickly making it the my room succesfully withot being noticed. i look in my tall mirror beside my shelf to look at myself. i pull my hood down and smile as i feel my brown wet hair. I hear the door creak open and i look to see my mom "mom!" i shout as i put my hoodie back on "Penny your hair!" "yeah well maybe you should knock next time" i turn my back to her "why do you always do this? its like you want to make me look like a bad mother!" she shouts "nobody said that" i say biting my lip to prevent the tears from coming out of my eyes "Penny, look at me" I wipe my eyes as i turn around and she gets closer to place a hand on my cheek. I reject her hand gently pushing her arm to the side. "i know you're just doing what you think is best but this is just a phase. i mean what would people think about me if they saw you like this?" she says calmly like she caught me smoking and drinking in the same night.

I wipe my eyes again before grabbing my grey satchel "maybe people wouldn't think youre a bad mother if you where actually a good one" i say as i walk past her. i leave through the front door and into the pouring rain. I started walking even though i didn't have a place to go. Who does she think she is? She acts like she's so perfect but she can't even get my name right. she's the one going through a phase, not right in the head. She's wrong about me. It's Peter, not Penny. Why can't she understand that.

I hear a shout behind me to see my father rushing out of the house but before i could say anything i felt weak and i fell to the floor. The last thing i saw was my father rushing to me before i woke up in my bed the next morning in my bed. I rub my eyes and get up to see myself in the mirror. as i get further in my room i bump my head on the ceiling "what the?" i whisper before looking at my mirror. have my pants shrunk? no because im still wearing the same ones from yesterday. I scratch my head before heading to the bathroom to go shower. i step inside the shower and it felt nice at first. it felt nice till i couldnt let go of my shampoo bottle. i wave my hand around in a panic and pull to off using all my strength but in that moment my hand springs back and i punch myself in the face.

I finish my shower and get my clothes on. i look in the mirror to see a red mark on the side of my eye. i sigh and get my shoes on before leaving the house without telling anyone making my way to a conveniance store that i didn't know the name of. a bought an off brande sprite for the low price of 4 american dollars. i love new york. "heres your change ma'am. have a nice day" the clerk says. i was gonna correct him but i didn't feel the need to talk to a stranger any longer "you too" i spit up before walking out. I walked onto the side walk when i see a car headed my way swerving in the road. I jump up and do a backflip landing on my legs while panting heavily. I look down at my legs and body when a cop comes over to ask if im okay. I nod in shock before he moved onto the crashed car beside me.

I shook it off as a one time thing before i quickly walk away drinking my soda. I sit on the sidewalk near an alleyway when i felt someone push me telling me to get a job. my bottle fell out of my hand when i panic not wanting my expensive ass off brand sprite to go to waste. Suddenly a web shoots from my wrist grabbing onto my bottle and shoots back to my hand. I look around too see if anyone saw what i did but nobody batted and eye. I look down at my hand and remove the web from the bottle with struggle of course. Did the universe curse me with sticky bottles today?

I get home putting my bag down before going on my computer. I quickly search up "Spider bite side effects". I searched and searched trying to find something, anything, that would explain my problem. after a few minutes of searching, and taking notes to maybe understand clearly, i noticed my keys stopped working and stuck to my fingers. I desperately try to tear them off when i hear my mom come into my room. I quickly hide my hands in my pockets and look at her nervously "what" i bite "you could be a bit kinder considering i was going to apolagize but never mind" she says closing the door "how the hell was i supposed to know?" I say under my breath. i get up and lay my head on my pillow.

Like clockwork just as i lay down i hear shouting outside, so i open my window and see three guys harrasing another poor guy. "hey can you guys keep it down? not all of us are having a good day!" i shout "hey shut it woman!" the first guy says. i get upset, woman? I wasn't even mad he misgendered me, i just wanted to know who the hell he was talking to. I crawled out the window and stuck to the walls as i crawled down. what am i doing? how am i doing this? i get on the floor finally "hey its almost dinner time you should be home already" "stay out of this" one guy says. I soon find myself with a gun pointed towards me which obviously left me terrified.

I don't even know how i did it but after a bit of struggle all three men where on the floor. I look down at my hands and look at the boy infront of me. He just smiles "thank you" "yeah whatever" i leave him there and use the backdoor to get inside of my house. I quickly go up to my room think about what i can do with this strength. On my computer was an ad for wresting 'beat him in 3 minutes and get 3000 dollars' hell yeah. I find myself signing myself up before i even thought of a costume, how could i not? I kick my swirly chair to my bed and get my sketch book from under my bed. I'm not the best artist but i would gladly sketch out a costume. Should i add a cape? nah, knowing me id step on it and rip it.

After much brainstorming I finally thought of a black and blue costume with a web design and a hoodie with a jacket. This is going to look sick. After leaving again and coming back with tons of fabric I started making my costume with my old sewing kit in a box I found. As soon as it was finished, I tried it on and it looked even better than I imagined. My name if Peter Wendell Parker, and I am Spiderman.

[poetofthedyingstars]

filipino!mc who pouts their lips to point where things could be found and the obey me characters mistaking it as them asking for a kiss

warning: kind of long post im sorry hehe enjoy especially to my fellow filo besties — crack, fluff, established relationship, obey me x gn!reader

characters included: brothers, dateables + luke (platonic)

language used: english, few tagalog words mentioned here and there

LUCIFER (lucitot)

you spend a lot of time in his office especially that lucifer always have his butt stuck in his wheelie chair

and he's an overworker, we all know that. and it's been a habit of yours to fix the paperworks and loads of stuff in his room

you're basically his secretary! just kidding- lucifer likes it when you help him with his work, it literally melts his heart like you are his mc—

but as much as he loves that you help him around, it gets hard for him to find things he needs since he doesn't know where you put ‘em

late evening and you're slouched on the couch, busy on your DDD and lucifer's doing his paperwork- now where's that one file he needs???

“mc? you cleaned my office yesterday, right? where have you put the file of the demons who caused the chaos on hell's kitchen?”

without looking up to him, you pouted and gestured your head to the piles of paper next to a bookshelf

mc??? what are you doing??? he's asking you where did you put his files-

why are you pouting?

wait. do you want him to kiss you?

chuckles to himself and forgets what he was asking for- you are so needy for himmmm you literally have to ask for a kiss to point where his files are??? did you even heard him?

walks up to you and kisses your cheeks

you looked at him, eyes wide, confused.

“lucifer? do you wanna take a break? cuddles?”

is taken aback. wHAT DO U MEAN ??? YOU WERE THE ONE ASKING FOR IT!!!

“what? i was simply giving you what you want. you were pouting so i thought-”

you laughed.

WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING AT HIM!! HE IS NOW EMBARRASSED. HE'S SHY. MCCCC-

dying inside, he's blushing

“no, love. i was pointing to the file you need over there—” you pouted again and gestured your head and lucifer finally looks at where you were pointing—

and he was like. oh. oh.

clears his throats. forget it happened mc.

you chuckled again at his flushed face and he goes back to work, embarassed.

he's revoking your kisses and cuddles privileges for a week.

MAMMON (bogart, my baby he's totally not my favourite what are you talking about-)

YOU ARE LITERALLY ALWAYS TOGETHER

and mammon observes you as always so he knows your habits and like the little things you do like when you scrunch your nose when you try to hide your laughter when luci scolds the anti-lucifer league, and how you have a snack pack for beel, and how you are always kind to mammon-

like. ha. mc he's totally not obsessed with you what the hell are you talking about

but ANYWAYS this pouting-pointing gesture you do, he haven't really noticed since you don't do it a lot

but when the first time you've done it he was trying to find his box of perfume in his room

you were watching a movie in his room until his agent starts calling for him- oh no he was so engrossed in spending time with you he forgot he had an appointment today boom mc you make him go crazy

he was already being fidgety and trying to find everything he needs before he goes

but he can't find his box of perfume!!!

WHERE THE FUCJ IS IT

“mc, have you seen where'd i put my cologne? i can't find it!”

you were on top of his bed and watching him ransack the whole room to find his perfume

you pouted your lips and gestured to the box just near the bed- how mammon missed seeing that you'll never know

when he looked at you and see you pouting his brain goes HDJAJDJSJDJW MC?

he's in the middle of something here. why are you pouting? are you upset coz he needs to go? are you asking for a kiss, perhaps?

grumbles and mutters how this is not the right time to ask for a kiss mc he's so late to an appointment and he's asking for your help and you're asking for a kiss??? hmp BUT OF COURSE you'd ask he's THE great mammon so ask all u want

he walks up to you and kisses your forehead

you look at him ???

“what’s that for?”

if he wasn't blushing furiously then, well he is NOW.

WDYM MC 😭

is shy. is stumbling. what the fuck just happened? tries to come up for an answer

you chuckled and shakes your head, you reached for the perfume next to you and hands it to him

he's still embarassed.

he leaves without saying a word

but once he gets over it, he takes not of this habit of pouting-pointing gesture of yours

sometimes when he have the courage he tries to kiss u and uses it as an excuse

“huh? ya weren't asking for a kiss? thought you were because you were pouting! but that's okay! who doesn't love a kiss from THE GREAT MAMMON?”

(but if you tell him you don't like it when he does that, he'll stop. he will only kiss u when u want him to and when ur okay w it hihi)

he is the greatest okay good bye

LEVIATHAN (lebleb bby)

LEVVVVV!!!!!

he's such a torpe he probably wouldn't even dare kiss you

it's just another anime movie night, you're watching something on devilflix or deviltube or a new release DVD he ordered

it's a miracle (hmm) that lev's other brothers are not barging in with your date tonight he's very thankful they're all out

is trying to find the remote to adjust the volume of the film you were watching

“mc where'd I put the remote again? i can't see it anywhere.”

eating your popcorn and not speaking up you pouted your lips to point the remote just out there

he looks at you— “huh????”

mc... why... are you pouting?

do you want him- a yucky otaku- to kiss you or??_?#?£?

blushing so red his face looks like a tomato

comes near you and give you a peck

covers his face with his hands

“hey what did you do that for???”

this is so embarrassing!!_!#!#

“wAHHH!!! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED A KISS IM SO SORRY-” give him a kiss and tell him it was alright

you have to reassure the poor boy because he's so embarrassed about it

the remote is forgotten

the remote was back to in topic when lucifer barged in to tell you to lower down whatever you were watching

within the week, whenever levi remembers it, he flushes red and melt in his seat

SATAN (tantan my fave dudebroparechong™)

since satan basically have a lot of competition to your attention he makes sure he occupies your time and attention more than anybody else

you're always together because he's your tutor and he loves spending time with you

another day in the library and you're just studying about devildom history for an essay activity from school

he looks at you and look around the piles of books and paper around him

where the fuck is that book again...??? didn't he just put it down beside him?

he looks at you, your adorable face so focused on what you were doing, your nose scrunched and eyes furrowed

he chuckled to himself

“hey, mc!”

you look at him, “what is it?”

“have you seen where i put the book i was just reading?”

you look around your environment and pouted

satan, a very brilliant smart genius probably brainy from the womb intellectual, was confused

?????

help what. why are you pouting?

admittedly, he haven't figured all of your quirks and human habits yet but what is this

are you... asking for a kiss?

oh. oh.

satan walks up to you and gives you a kiss

you look at him and he looks at you

both very confused at what just happened

“satan...???”

oh. so you didn't asked for a kiss?! oh. oh.

“i apologize, mc. i thought you were asking for a kiss.”

you shook your head and pointed to the book again

man's was blushing, red as hell

you laughed and told him it was okay because you love his kisses

FLUSTERED SATAN BABY NOISES

it probably happens a lot because when it comes to you, satan throws his brains out.

love is irrational and makes-you-stupid kind of a thing after all (no he just loves kissin' your adorable face)

ASMO (momo pop pop)

asmoooo my whiny babie and very painful character to have as a kin

if you're an asmo stan, good for you! asmo kinnies, i hope you're doing okay and you don't have to pretend to be something you're not to appease people. you're great! love lots!

ANYWAYS HEHEHEHE

spending the skin care routine session with our skin care beauty king asmo!!!!!

another night, another win

as asmo puts on your facemask, smiling at you, you can't help but feel happy

it's so relaxing to be with asmo

“there! all done, hon.” he says after successfully putting your facemask he looks at you one more time and you give a thumps up

“well, now, where is my facemask?”

since you can't really speak up you pouted your lips, his facemask was just behind him

he looks at you, “hm?”

mc why are you pouting?

“oh? do you want me to kiss you?”

he can't kiss your face so he just settles for your neck or hand

MC VERY VERY FLUSTERED

i mean this is the avatar of lust u know so....

asmo smiles :D almost forgetting about the facemask

you do make magic in his life, love

you just used your finger to point to him where the facemask is

well it's a fun and long night for the both of you

BEEL (beeli my boi)

hNGHSHAHDJSJ

nice boyfriend you have there

anyways beel was probably asking for a food he hid in the kitchen but he can't see them?_!#?????? he hopes someone haven't ate it already...

you were there with him, of course you are, the both of you are always together

ask if you have seen his food

you tell him you hid it somewhere in the fridge and you point your lips

confused baby beel noises

babes??? what are you doing???

comes closer to you

still confused

kisses your head

more confused baby beel noises

“beel??? what are you doing?”

“i'm sorry, mc. i thought you were asking for a kiss?”

really respectful about it and is kinda shy and blushing fbsjdjen

you laugh and told him you were just pointing out where you put his food

“oh okay” and it's forgotten he doesn't really make a big deal out of it

sigh he's so cute you know

BELPHIE (kalabaw here we go again)

belphie fandom's evil baby, the problematic fave, hmp.

ANYWAYS HERE YA GO Y'ALL

napping on the veranda is the go-to for the both of you because that's where the stars are or sometimes at the attic where it's just the two of you + beel

they're a package mc you can't seperate them.

and so because of him sleeping anywhere anytime it's not really that much of a wonder when he forgets where he puts his stuffs (his pillows actually)

tonight, you were gonna sleep with belphie per his request because he claims you do not spend enough time with him

(maybe i would if you didn't cho— /j)

you obliged of course

as you settle in for the night he noticed that his favourite blanket is missing in the pillow fort you two were making

“mc, where did you put my blanket?”

you pouted and gestured on his bed

too lazy to find out why you're pouting

sitting under the pillow fort

he pulls you down and gives you a quick kiss

“is that what you want?”

no belphie it was not but thank you anyways

HAHSHAHHFHEHFNEN you shook your head and grabbed the blanket on the bed yourself to give it him

better make it up to belphie who knows might get angry and chok—

JUST KIDDING HSHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSHHAHDHW

DIAVOLO (dia boy, my third favourite golden boy)

diavolo i love you so much

similar to lucifer, you usually hang out in dia's office because he's always doing so much paperwork (poor baby)

you also help around organising his paperworks because there's too many

i feel so bad for him how does he do a lot of those paperwork man

“dear, have you seen where i put *that one* file???”

you were sitting near him as he does his work

eating some of barbatos’ snack treats hihi

you pouted your lips towards a pile of paper on his table

diavolo looks amused

“love?” well he guess it's alright too if he abandons his works for a little while and just cuddle with you i mean he have a lot of time later right???? barbatos wouldn't mind for sure

he sits on the couch beside you and kisses your cheeks

you look up to him

“oh, hi there, you done with your work?”

“not yet, but i thought you were asking for a kiss!”

“noooo, i was pointing to the paperwork you were missing!”

oh. well why didn't you said so, mc!

HE LOVED your pouting-pointing gesture so much he picked it up

barbatos was amused, you really are influencing the next king of devildom

but diavolo sometimes used your pouting as an excuse as you thinking that he's neglecting you so he can abandon his paperwork without guilt (sure tell yourself that baby)

barbatos gets STRESSED.

BARBATOS (speak of the devil, here comes muscovado [barbados] sugar)

well out of all of them i think barbatos would know what your pouting means

but will choose to kiss you nonetheless

i mean he is the all-time seeing lord, he knows a lot if not everything!

baking or tea making session with you is not uncommon

he loves being able to do his duty and serve you and spend time with you at the same time

one nice afternoon in the castle kitchen, there you both are

eating a freshly-baked cookies and newly brewed tea

you were just sitting down and talking, catching up with each other, it really is a nice afternoon

he stood and started to clean up the mess around the kitchen for a bit

noticed the sugar is missing

now where did he put it?

“mc, my dear, have you perhaps saw where i put the sugar?”

you pout, barbatos sees the sugar

but hehehehe

barbatos thinks it's so cute when you pout and it's like, there's always so much gap, between the times where you're apart and when you can spend time together.

kind of ironic that he almost feels like he doesn't have time in his hands when he's LITERALLY the lord of time- he could control it and yet. it's untouchable.

so he decides to give you a kiss

“hmm?” you ask

“nothing, my love. i just thought you're beautiful.”

boom who's blushing now y'all, it's you mc HAHAHAHAHSHAHS

dang barbatos 😔 why are you like that

SOLOMON (sol sol sol sol sol sol sol i love this white haired guy so much next to mammon, do you? he's the best you should all give him a lot of love)

solomon the wise, more like solomon the mischievous really

personally, from what i've gathered, i KNOW that his room is messy as fuck.

so messy that it's almost impossible to hang out in his room

like holy shit solomon, why do you have all this chemical and potions and books scattered in your room? how do you even sleep babes? see this is why we get curse accidents all the time

practising sorcery and having him tutor you in some stuff is how solomon whisks you away from the house of lamentation whenever you're at RAD

stupid demons taking all of your time! what about him? (don't tell the others he called them stupid what if lucifer never makes a pact with him???)

anyways, another afternoon and you were taking a break from practising magic

you were sitting on the bed, watching him work his magic

solomon was experimenting potion, he's telling you all about it as he work

you sigh fondly, he's so awesome.

solomon looks at you and smiles

“hey, by the way, where's that book you were reading earlier?”

you pouted your lips

and solomon was :0

oh, mc. uh. do you want a kiss?

i mean OKAY! solomon wants one too so okay alright

leans in to you and kiss

?????? moment

“sol, what's that for?”

oopsies. “you didn't wanted a kiss?”

“i mean, yeah, it was okay! but i was pointing at the book you were asking for.”

oh.

well whenever you're together and you pout to points at things he finds it so adorable he cups your face and kisses you

he just really loves you very much

SIMEON (angel :0)

simeon asked you to accompany him shopping, solomon was busy and luke was with barbatos and hey! he figured this is a good time to be with you

strolling around the devildom with simeon is peaceful and fun

also doing grocery because you both feel like a couple who's been married for more than 10 years shopping for their home

hihihihihduwh simeon, you down bad (pun intended, hope you get it)

in the condiments section, he can't seem to find what he needs

was it even there?

“mc, where can we find the *product* around here?”

busy looking at another product, you pouted him to a different aisle

cue simeon's internal rambles, praying and shaking

why did you pout????

what was that???

wERE YOU ASKING FOR A KISS?

OH. OH MY GOD!!!!

blushing, he taps your shoulder and when you look at him he kisses your forehead

!!_#!!?????

😳 <- both of you

you looked away from each other

“oh, uhm i said *product* was over there”

simeon mutters a “sorry” and “right yes”

nobody says a word about what happened

very awkward grocery shopping

at the end of the day, before you went home to the house of lamentation you kissed simeon's cheeks and told him you enjoyed the day

simeon was smiling the whole night, even as he eats and washed the dishes which kind of creeped luke

dw love your dad's just in love

LUKE (GOLDEN BOY, MY SON!!!!)

baking and studying is two of the main things you do together

and napping when you're both tired from said activities

well today isn't any different

luke was very excited to tell you about a new cake recipe barbatos taught to him

you told him that it's great! maybe tomorrow you could bake together because today you were gonna study

he said alright, he's just really happy to spend time with you

but y'know, you shouldn't know that

(michael why is every kid you've taken under your wing turns out to be a tsundere what are you doing to them)

studying with you, for luke, is great. he looks up to you as another older sibling/parental figure but you don't know that.

he will never admit it but he loves being spoiled by you.

after hours of studying about devildom history, you both decided to take a break. you said he did great and patted his shoulder for a great job!

simeon is finally home from angelic work trip

and luke's also very excited to tell him about his day esp barbatos’ cake recipe because he also wants to bake it with simeon !!!

the problem was he forgot where he put the written recipe, must have mixed with both of your academic paperworks

oh no.

“mc, have you seen where's barbatos cake recipe???”

oh. you pouted

and luke looked at you confused

HELLO MC? what?

pout? so a kiss? what is happening?

goes up to you and kisses your cheeks nonetheless, blushing.

“oh why, thank you luke!”

blushing still

“yeah well you're asking for a kiss so as your friend and guardian angel, it's rightfully to give one to you!”

you chuckled.

man, luke is so adorable i wanna squish that kid he reminds me of my brother (who is more annoying)

simeon found the recipe though after looking at the paperwork luke have done

he's proud of his son too hihi

modern music isn’t trash, i guess

Summary: You and Steve talk about stuff and listen to music

Warnings: none

A/N: Platonic pairing, think older brother/ father figure. It’s short, im still trying to figure out my writing style. Don’t really listen to Harry Styles but I enjoyed Fine Line and I thought the cover looked neat :)

------

You always loved when it rained; it was the perfect atmosphere for listening to music and doing absolutely nothing else. You flipped through your small collection of vinyl records, and chose your current favorite. Picking up a blanket and your sketchbook, you padded out of your room and down the hallway. It was quiet enough to hear your own footsteps - a welcome quiet, compared to the chaos of being an Avenger.

You rounded a corner and approached your favorite place in the entire building. The third floor common room was unofficially claimed by Bucky and Steve, but they never minded you hanging out there.  It was spacious but cozy, with a large bookshelf, a vintage sofa set, and most importantly -  an authentic 1940s record player.  You knelt in front of it, and carefully put the disc into place. You adjusted the settings to your liking, then settled onto the carpet in front of the coffee table and cocooned yourself into your blanket. The light patter of rain and familiar music formed a comforting lullaby, and you soon found yourself nodding off to sleep. 

That is, until you heard footsteps. 

“Hey, kiddo. Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up,” Steve said, lowering his voice.

“It’s ok,” you yawned, ”I wasn’t even asleep”. Steve shot an amused glance at you before grabbing a worn looking book and sitting in an armchair.

“Whatcha listening to?” he asked.

“Nothing, I can turn it off if it’s annoying”, you said, half getting up.  Your friends used to complain about your music taste being obnoxious - you doubted a hundred year old man would be interested.

“No, don’t worry about it. I’m curious what the kids are listening to these days.” He pulled out a pair of reading glasses you were pretty sure he didn’t need, and polished them on his shirt. “What’s this noise called anyways?” he said with mock distaste.

You told him the name of the artist.

“Ah, never heard of them...” he replied, before shifting his focus back on his book.

Unable to fall back to sleep, you opened your sketchbook and started a little doodle for each song that played. Every now and then Steve would ask about an instrument he didn’t recognize, or the meaning of a lyric. Each time, your answers grew longer and more detailed; eventually you were providing an unprompted commentary on each track, excited to share the knowledge you’d deemed useless before.

When the entire album had played through, Steve took one of his from the bookshelf.  

“You ever heard of Glen Miller?” he asked.

You shook your head. “Nope. What kinda music does he play?”

“I can’t describe it really. It was real popular during the war...” he paused for a moment, like he was concentrating on something.   “I don’t know. Just listen to it, you’ll get it.”

No wonder it was popular.  Hearing the first few notes made you want to take your worries of the shelf and dance them all away. You were tired though, so you just tapped your foot instead.

As the bright swing music played, Steve shared his own commentary - a memory, a favorite phrase, a slang term that had long since gone out of use.  You spent the rest of the afternoon trading old stories and lighthearted jokes, and by the time you were called for dinner you had both gained a new respect for each other’s music tastes.  

“So you do like my music then!” you said in exaggerated surprise as you folded your blanket into a lopsided rectangle.

“I said it was interesting, that’s not the same thing,” he responded jokingly.

“You totally liked it. We’re listening to Adele next.”

“Alright fine, if you insist,” he said, raising his hands in defeat.  “Let's go before the food gets cold, eh?” 

“Sure thing,” you replied, following him out of the room and towards a delicious smelling meal.

That’s it, I would edit it more but it’s been in my drafts for like two weeks, I just wanted to finish something.  I’ll probably do more at some point. Hope you enjoyed :)

May I offer shizen: Poltergeist🙂

Poltergeist

Pairing: Sukuna x Reader

Theme: Modern | Humour

A/N: ummmmm so im like so sorry cuz ik i told you i was gonna write this a long time ago and i did....but for some reason my dumbass left it in the draft. Anyways, here it is like a year late? idk how long it has been T_T, but hope you're doing well bb

also fyi im not really back to writing but i just found this in the draft so i thought might as well publish it

Sukuna sighed and a mouth formed on top of Yuuji's cheek, "That's it, what do you want?", the King of Curses grumbled.

Startled by Sukuna's sudden appearance, Yuuji jumped up from his bed, his book being discarded to the side quickly, "Whoa, you scared me, I didn't say anything...." Yuuji answered, then frowned remembering he was talking to Sukuna, "I don't want anything from you!"

Sukuna rolled his singular eye, "No not you, stupid brat, I'm talking to the other one in the room."

"...huh?", Yuuji looked around his dorm room. It was empty, just him.

"....But there is no one else here..." Yuuji told him.

Not that Yuuji did anything wrong really, but if Sukuna had any means to choke Yuuji, he would have done so already. This brat was not only dumb but also annoying to no end.

"Brat. Do you not see that the books in your bookshelf has all been thrown to the ground?", Sukuna asked.

"Yes...I'm pretty sure it was Fushiguro, I told him he could read some of my books."

"How about the hole in the wall that clearly has an imprint of a fist?"

"I think it was Nobara....I did take her lip gloss thinking it was lip balm the other day and used it."

Sukuna was ready to facepalm himself.

"And all of your candy that was eaten and the wrappers obnoxiously sprinkled on the floor?"

"Well Gojo-sensei—"

"How much dumber can you get, brat? There is a spirit in your room."

"A....spirit?" Yuuji asked, his eyes widening.

"Yes. A Spirit."

"Where is the spirit, are they still here?" Yuuji asked while scanning left and right of his room.

Immediately, the book that Yuuji put down was flung across the room, effectively knocking Yuuji's backpack off the desk to the floor

"Hey that was my book and my backpack!" Yuuji shouted immediately, offended.

But he quickly regained his composure and lightheartedly made a joke, "Well at least now I know you're there."

"Of course she is," Sukuna muttered, "She's always there."

"Wait what do you mean always—"

"(Name)

Yuuji seems to perk up with curiosity at his statement, "Do you...know her?"

"Yes. (Name) was...let's just say we have history."

Immediately after Sukuna said that, another book was chucked across the room, this time towards Yuuji. Yuuji's quick reflexes effectively allowed him to dodge the book. The poor kid has no idea what's up with him and encounters with spirits or curses.

Yuuji hesitantly raises his hands in the air, "Look i don't know what you want lady ghost but I can't be your vessel too."

"Stupid brat, that's clearly not what she wants," Sukuna spits out.

"Then what am I supposed to do? I can't just sit here and let her make my room a mess!", Yuuji exclaimed.

"I will handle it," Sukuna replied coldly.

"What do you mean? No you won't—"

However before Yuuji can finish, he felt Sukuna overpowering him. Using Yuuji's arm, Sukuna lifted up another book up from his right arm and throw it towards the doorway rather violently, "Hey stop that Sukuna. Not you too, I need that textbook for class—"

However, the book stopped midair. From the edges of the textbook, a faint apparition of fingers and slowly going up to arms, shoulders, torso, and finally a beautiful face with distinctive (eye colour) eyes appeared in front of Yuuji and Sukuna.

"Hello Sukuna," she said calmly before throwing the book textbook back at lightning speed.

It seemed that Sukuna has only thought about throwing the book at her but decided that he was not responsible for defending Yuuji from her as the textbook hits Yuuji square in the face causing his head to jolt back and sharp pain erupts on his face.

'Oh boy, another troublesome spirit showed up' was the only thing on Yuuji's mind.

# 2 and soobin for the prompt please!

you wouldn't say you were the sentimental type.

things came and went. kids grew into adults. that was just how life was. people grew apart, sometimes closer, and it was all expected.

you just never thought you would have to face it yourself.

it was a problem that you had only read about in story books. the handmaiden watches the price she fell in love with get married. she moves on. the king lets go of the memories of his favorite knight. he moves on. the queen loses her son, her only son. she moved on.

they all moved on. so why couldn't you?

"class! class! let's start this school year by introducing ourselves! i'll go first. my name is ms. hilton, and i'm your english teacher for this year! i've worked at this school for a long time now, and i can't wait to teach all of you kids!

okay, now that i've done my introduction, shall we go along the classroom and introduce ourselves? starting from you sir, yes you with the white and black sneakers. please start by telling us your name and a fun fact about yourself."

you watched as the said boy stood up, pushing his hair back with his hand.

"uh... hi everyone, i'm soobin, and one fun fact about me is i went to Europe this year."

as the next person got up to introduce themselves, you found yourself staring at him.

jeez, he was tall for a middle schooler.

the sun is filtering through the blinds in your room, and rays of light are being painted across the walls. everything is a golden color, from the desk to the bedside.

"so... what topic are we choosing for this project?" you watched through the lens of your glasses as soobin furrowed his brow.

"do you think, maybe aristotle?" you nodded your head eagerly, so soobin stood up and walked over to the teachers desk. a second later he sent you a thumbs up.

"aristotle it is."

you twirled your pen in your fingers as soobin took a seat. "hey do you want to work on the project with me over the weekend? i know a really good café...?"

there was a small smile on your face, and you nodded.

"yeah sure, what time?"

you got up from your chair, grabbing a camera. in this lighting, the room was just too pretty to not take a picture of.

"y/n, for someone of that height, there is no reason you should be walking that fast."

you sent a small smile to the long-legged boy trying to catch up with you in the hallway.

"if you don't want to be late to class bin, you're going to have to put those legs to work."

you let soobin catch up with you, and you slowed down your pace from thereon so the two of you could walk side by side. soobin pointed at the trophy shelf.

"do you think we'll win this year too? i hope we do, yeonjun promised a party at his house if we get placed first."

you gave soobin a reassuring pat on his arm.

"you'll be finneee... if you win, i'll take you out to icecream after."

the boy turned to look at you, a smile creeping into his eyes.

"really?"

"really."

fiddling around with the camera, you brushed the light dust that had collected on the top off. you watched as the particles were swept away, dancing in the dying sunlight.

"we should do this every year."

you turned to look at soobin lying next to you, ice-cream sandwhich in one hand, while the other was tucked behind him, supporting his head. he was looking above, admiring the night sky.

"you mean climb some random apartment stairs to get to rooftops? and risk our lives every season game to see a different view of the city at night?"

soobin let out a small laugh. "yeah, well when you put it that way, it does sound bad." you smiled, lying down with your own ice-cream sandwich, propping an arm under your head.

"...i meant the icecream tradition. you'll be there for my next season game, right?"

now it was your turn to admire the night sky.

"of course. i wouldn't miss it for the world"

grabbing a tissue, you went to work at the camera, cleaning dust from all crevices and corners of the lenses. you were surprised. when was the last time you had even taken a photo on this thing?

"hey bin, what's up?"

grabbing your phone and placing it on your desk, you made yourself comfortable, ready for any facetime tea he would spill.

"ah, y/n..." you watched as he ran a hand through his hair from the other side of the screen. "i don't think... i don't think i'll be able to make it to your birthday this year."

there was a quiet silence. you felt like you'd been punched in the gut.

"if i can ask, um, why?" you fiddled with the hem of your hoodie, waiting for an answer.

"the schedules for the basketball game lineups just came out, and the final season game is happening on your birthday. i just wanted to tell you in case we do win that far and i won't be able to come."

you decided to smile at the way soobin had said just in case they win. the two of you were in your sophomore year, and he hadn't lost a game since middle school.

"yeah, don't worry about it soob. we can still get icecream after."

you felt a turn in your stomach when the boy gave you a relived smile, running a hand through his hair again.

"that's all i wanted to say, i've got to go now"

"hm? why?"

"chem tutoring. these freshman are horrible at science."

adjusting the camera, you zoomed in on random objects in your room. the bookshelf. your water bottle. the lamp. click. click. click.

“did you hear? that senior yeonjun will be throwing a bigger party than last year! are you going y/n?”

you shrugged. “when is it?”

“I think it‘ll be this saturday.”

"can’t. I’ll be out of town”

"for what?

“college. I sent an early application, and one of them reached out and wants me to tour the campus. if i go, I’ll have a guaranteed spot next year, and I probably won’t have to apply to any others.”

your friend let out a low whistle and patted your head.

"well when you put it like that, I guess you really can’t go… but maybe we could get something after the game? i heard the ice cream place was still open”

just like that, a mere sentence felt like a silent punch to the gut.

you looked away from your friends face, scanning the cafeteria unknowingly. you were met with the view of a senior tussling soobin's hair, an arm slung across his neck. you could hear their loud conversation even from where you were sitting.

"you coming to my house after the game? me and the guys we're planning to get some icecream and stay over at my house for the night."

you thought you saw something flash in soobins eye's before he smiled, nodding in agreement.

abruptly standing up, you tossed an apology to your friend about how you wouldn't be able to make it and you had just remembered you had some important emails to send. you didn't want to be around when the words of confirmation came out of his mouth itself.

so much for a flash. the last time you had icecream with him was two years ago.

adjusting the lens once more, you caught your eye on a ticket stuck between two books on your desk. you slowly pulled it out. it was blue and grey, your school colors. there was a hole punched on the bottom, indicating it was used.

"and it's the last two minutes of the game, and hybe high is in the lead! if they can make this basket, it will guarantee a regional win for the school. oh! there goes hyunjin... passing to donghyuck who... also just passed to eric who, jeez, passed to soobin...! look at that! look at that!! we are in the last minute everyone, and if captain of hybe high makes this basket, like i said they will be the regional winners!!"

you let the sound of the announcer wash over you, leaning forward in your seat to watch the game.

for some reason you kept coming back. to this gym. to the basketball games.

to soobin.

it had been over a year since the two of you had really talked, the last icecream run being well over three years ago (a promise to go before your birthday was conveniently broken), and the last facetime was to ask for calculus answers.

you knew that you had faded out of the life of the star basketball player.

you just couldn't accept it.

"and soobin gets closer to the rim... oh! it looks like taehyun from bighit acadmy is a pretty good blocker... anyways look at him go! we have twenty second left, and even if he doesn't score hybe is still in for a win... okay, okAY?? WAIT WHAT!! WHAT!!"

there's a loud screech of the intercom that mixes with the cheers of the crowd. you found yourself on your feet, fists pumping in the air in celebration alongside the students in the bleachers despite yourself.

"AND CHOI SOOBIN SECURES THE PLACE OF HYBE HIGH IN DISTRICT REGIONALS!! ONCE AGAIN THE ACE HAS TOPPED EVERYONE AND BRANG HIS TEAM TO VICTORY!!"

you held the ticket tenderly. on the backside was stamped senior, a marker that counted as a discount for the upperclassmen that wanted to watch the game. flipping it over again, you felt a wave of something hit your stomach as you took in the grey and blue.

"hey y/n, wait up!"

you whipped around at the sound of an all too familiar voice.

there, stood soobin, in all his six foot and one inch glory.

"you.." he panted, hands on his knees as if he had run a million miles. "you walk too fast. what's the rush? you were cheering for me so loudly."

there was that feeling again. of being punched in the gut. by that invisible hand that seemed to favor your stomach whenever soobin was around.

"ah, you know... just getting home."

you tried not to stare too long. soobin had grown, matured. the baby face he donned as a middle schooler was gone, only his dimples a reminder of the childhood smiles you shared together.

"you're not... going anywhere? going straight home?"

you gave him a small smile. "...yeah. i'm going soon, so i really need to pack. good game though! you really did good this time around."

"going soon... to where y/n? are you taking a road trip without me?" you sensed a wary tone under his teasing words. three years apart, and this was the news you would have to tell him. curse the fates.

"yup! im, ah... moving cross country. i got accepted a while back."

you could already see the question in his eyes. how far? which major? on campus or near?

why didn't you tell me?

there was a moment of silence while you rocked back and forth on your heels. soobin pushed his hair back, looking into your eyes.

the heaviness of a thousand unanswered questions weighed in the air.

"so... want to catch up over icecream?"

as you held the basketball ticket from senior year, you realized three things.

one: you were the sentimental type. you clung onto old memories and good times like they were life jackets, keeping you afloat in the mundanity of your new life.

two: you didn't really like the idea of always moving on. it seemed so easy in the story books, that after a couple years the queen goes back to her ordinary life, the king appoints a new knight, and the princess finds someone she truly loved. but was there a time where you would just stop caring? was there a day you would wake up and didn’t think about what could have happened, the if only’s and what if’s?

three: you couldn't move on. you prided yourself on being able to move faster, walking a pace before everyone else. life was a journey, and you were going places. quite literally. you were floating when everyone was sinking.

but you were only floating because you had your life jacket.

...

things came and went. kids grew into adults. that was just how life was. people grew apart, sometimes closer, and it was all expected.

you clutched the ticket in your hand, the end slightly wrinkled by your fingers.

you just never thought you would have to face it yourself.
