rafe cameron
setting down the perfect shade of a baby pink louis vuitton backpack onto rafes messy bed. he had got you a full set of louis vuitton luggage for your birthday just a couple of weeks ago, personalized it with such a beautiful pink and your name embroidered on.
opening your bag, mindlessly going through the couple of pairs of brandy melville pajama sets you packed with you and choosing which one you wanted to wear more. choosing between one and the other was so complicated but when all else fails, you can always rely on the opinion from a man with the name, rafe cameron!
you picked up both sets, making sure the cute design showed perfectly with a huge giggly smile on your face. the sounds of your feet hitting the wood floor as you were walking up to him to ask the big question, "rafey, which one" you smiled big, only your eyes peeking over the pj sets as you held them up for his decision. even though you gave him two options, there was one you 'picked out' in specific. insisting he answer 'correctly' with the tone in your voice.
he turned around to look at you when you called his name following with a question. his eyebrows furrowed from the petty little design that covered the sets of your clothing. raising his pointer finger to choose which set even as the words came out of his mouth, "that one, bunny." he answered as his phone dinged and he pulled it out of his pocket to answer.
you squealed to yourself with a big happy smile on your face, you were ecstatic that he choose the one you wanted him to even though you knew either one would have been just.. fine. you thought to yourself about your silliness to ask whenever you knew what you wanted to wear but it was much better having rafey pick for you.
when he choose, you stood up on your tippy toes as far as you could to reach rafes cheek as he held his phone up to his ear on the other side, giving him a sloppy kiss for his decision before having to come back down as you couldn't stand on them for very long. being in a talking stage with a man who stood at 6'1" came with its many different challenges, romantic ones included but, in all ends, you really liked it.
making your way back to rafes bed where your backpack still laid you heard him mumble something to you. hearing his mumbles made you turn back around, looking at him, "hm?" you questioned. notifying to rafe that you don't know what he had asked of you the first time but now he had your attention.
rafe brought his hand up to chin, rubbing slowly as if he was in a trance of thought, "why do you bring that backpack with you every time you stay, princess?" he had asked of you. you turned around to face him, placing the backpack onto the ground after all decisions were made. "its my spend-the-night bag!" you smiled big at him and giggled in response.
"what the hell is a spend-the-night bag, that's fuckin stupid." he said to you and your smile dropped instantly which was so weird because you knew how rafe was, mean. but he never really meant it "mean" towards you it still doesn't mean it didn't hurt.
he saw as your smile dropped, knowing his words hurt you tremendously. he waved his hand at you, telling you to come to him. he took a seat on the bench that was placed in his room, as you walked towards him. as you stood in front of him, he wrapped his fingers around your thigh, pulling you forward as he guided your legs around his. as you sat down on his lap you let down your head, feeling embarrassed that he saw his words effect you so much. he brought his hand up to your chin, feeling his cold golden rings on your skin, lifting it up so you were looking at his eyes and he started to explain to you,
"bunny.. all im saying is, everyone in this shitty town knows you're mine. there's no need to keep bringing your stuff back and forth. just move all your stuff in with me." hearing his sweet words made a big smile appear on your face again which made rafey smile as well. he made you so happy, it was silly, you were head over heels for him and you wanted everyone to know it.
later that week, you were all moved in. so so in love.

connection | one direction comfort oneshot
summary: one direction are your best friends and how can you ever tell them thank you for everything.
warnings: not a single one, just feel good comforting one direction. we need it.
a/n: this one is for everyone who needs it.
âââ
âIâm glad you guys are homeâ
âY/N, none of us live anywhere near here.â Louis snorts the second your sappy voice echos in the lounge room. Not one of them lives here, but to you, this is their home
A mug of tea is hot against you palms, the room smells of sweet treats and is light only by warm lamplight.
A sigh cascades from your lungs, your head leant against Harryâs shoulder.
âLet the girl have her moment, Louis.â You hear Zayn chide with a smile on his face as he leans forward from where heâs rested on the couch to grab a cookie.
âThis movies made me all sentimental.â You grumble, trying to now suppress the feeling swelling in your chest.
You glance around to the five guys laid in your lounge room. Your five best friends in the whole world.
Highschool is messy for everyone, and your experience was no different. God, if you hadnât have met all of them, you have no idea how you wouldâve ever survived.
Zayn in folded into the corner of your massive couch, despite how much room there is.
Louis the one whoâs randomly claimed a spot on the floor, cushion under his ass even though again, thereâs more than enough space on the couch.
Liam is sprawled out on your left, legs and arms hanging off the edge. A smile sits on his lips, content and at peace.
Harry is nestled on your right, allowing your head to seek refuge on his shoulder. Heâs made sure heâs close enough to Niall to annoy him every couple of minutes.
Niall is cross-legged on the couch, mug of tea in hand, blonde hair tousled from Harry messing it up ten minutes ago for the fun of it.
âYou guys are what brings life into this place.â You state, finality in your tone as your eyes avert back to the screen.
âAwww,â Niall coos, Harry whacks him across the head.
âOuch! Bloody hell was thaâ for, I was being genuine you dolt.â Everyone chuckles, watching his hand come to cover his head.
âOh, sorry thought ya were being sarcastic.â Harry snickers from beside you, chest vibrating in a familiar way.
âWhile these two idiots argue, I am appreciating your sentiment, Y/N.â Liam claims from where he lays, flashing a toothy grin at you.
âI justâŚâ wow, are you seriously getting emotional over this? Surely itâs your hormones, or just stress manifesting into big feelings. But you canât even get the sentence out without the feeling of a lump in your throat.
The sway in your voice draws all five of them to a silence.
They wait patiently for you to say something else.
âYou all are my people. Having fun at home is not the same when youâre not all here. And when I go out without you all, I imagine the stupid shit youâd do to make me laugh.â
Bringing the mug in your hand to your lips, you draw a sip of tea into your mouth. Taking comfort in the sweetness.
âMy house does not feel like home unless Iâm in it with you five. Youâre all like my family. I wouldnât know where to begin tackling my life if I didnât have you boys showing me how to do it.â
âYâcanât tackle anything or anyone for shit tâbe fair.â Niall remarks, trying to be funny but you can hear the appreciation that floods his tone.
âShut up, Niall.â Liam shakes his head, smiling.
âEveryday, I thank whatever greater power that bought you guys to me. I couldnât even begin to imagine a day where I didnât know you all. And itâs something I hope I never have to live.â
âWhat im trying to say is thank you. For being my best friends.â
Thereâs a few seconds of quiet.
You have been like this with them before, usually when youâre about to get your period, when youâre drunk, or had a big thing happen in your life. But right now they all just didnât expect it.
âNo way, Louis are you crying!â Harry laughs, but thereâs a soft and vulnerable lilt to his own voice.
âShut up, ya prick.â He whines, hand cupping over his eyes and dragging down in exasperation.
At a glance, you realise theyâre all crying.
âOh god,â you gasp, guilt plaguing your voice, âsorry I didnât mean to make everyone so emosh.â
âEmosh.â Liam mocks your choice of word with a soft tease, eyes shiny.
âYea, girl. I need forewarning before you go dropping all that on me.â Zayn states, finishing the last bite of his cookie.
âWe appreciate you more than yâknow.â Niall drapes himself over Harry to half embrace you, half squash you.
As anyone would imagine, doesnât take longer than three seconds for them all to be joining this impromptu group hug.
âCanât breatheââ you hissed out. Someoneâs knee is digging into your hip, someone just headbutted you, and again, your whole diaphragm is squished.
Yet despite all of this, youâve never felt so loved. You feel so much of it, almost like itâs imbedded in your bones.
âDonât care!â Louis remarks, ��your fault for dragging us all into your sentimental crap.â
âThanks for being our best friend too, yknow.â A hum comes from Liam.
The hug doesnât last too long, but long enough that when you eventually go to bed that night youâve imprinted it in your memory.
How are there ever going to be words to explain how it feels to have a connection like this. One with people that you donât see everyday, but that you feel always. Itâs proven it can stretch a million miles and still feel the same.
These boys are your lifeline, and nothing in the world could change that.
Oh, how grateful you are.

Hi can you write a Percy Jackson x fem reader
The reader and Percy do not get along itâs like a love hate relationship.During episode 4 Percy sacrificing himself at St Luis arch the reader breaks down the door and sees him fall.she then jumps after him.When they get out the river they both have an argument about the whole incident.which leads to the reader admitting she cares about him.Happy ending pls.
an: OMG STOP STOP BC I ACTUALLY ACTIVELY SCREAMED AT THIS REQUEST ANONNNNN STOOOOP I LOVE THIS SM IM ABOUT TO WRITE IT RNNNNNRNRNRNRN
â§RECKLESS || percy jackson x fem!reader
summary: as the group go to their next destination they arrive at the arch, annabeth and y/nâs momâs sanctuary for some time. just when they think theyâre safe, things donât go to plan.
word count: FUCKIN 5878 NO BC IVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR THREE HOURSSSSS AHH
warnings: y/n and percy being in a enemies or lovers trope, annabeth and grover being third and fourth wheelers, arguing, near death experiences, slight blood warnings, poisoned percy, a bit of crying? LIKE A TINY BIT, y/n is very argumentative.
as the group made their way to the st. louis arch, they werenât doing very good. at all.
on their way, the original plan was to get straight to las vegas, but thanks to the monsters and not wanting to take a break, their train got ruined by the mother of monsters.
as they walked into the front entrance of the arch that annabeth and y/n recommended. they had stated that monsters canât get in and it will give them more time to find some way to get to las vegas a lot quicker than on foot.
âsix-hundred and thirty feet wideâ annabeth startedââsix-hundred and thirty feet tall, both two within an inchâ
as they four of them walked fast enough to cause an old lady whiplash, percy and grover listened to the two of them explain their mothers sanctuary.
âitâs got no internal support. each side is balanced perfectly against one anotherâ y/n states once more as annabeth nodded along with what she said.
âthe arch is held up by symmetry, itâs held up by math!â annabeth expressed.
âoh and itâs earthquake proofâ y/n added to annabethâs comment, giving annabeth a small glance before they walked down the steps of the entrance into the small museum full of kids on a field trip.
âitâs also high enough so poseidon canât ruin itâŚbut i donât think mom would appreciate his child being in here, so.â y/n looked over to percy who gave her a tight thin lipped smile before mumbling.
âniceâŚâ annabeth and percy looked at the two before giving each other a look to soon squeeze themselves through the group kids.
âexcuse meâ annabeth mumbled to the boys and girls who turned and moved out of the way for the four.
âthis is how you show athena your love, a monument to the power of perfectionâ annabeth told.
âitâs a monument to some other stuff tooâ grover added as they looked around and saw other things regarding more olden times, guns, head skeletons of buffalo and other things.
âyour talking about what some humans want this place to be about. weâre talking about what it actually isâ annabeth placed her hand over her own chest while looking at percy and grover who frowned but agreed nonetheless.
y/n rolled her eyes when she saw the amount of âskeletonsâ and other things that litterd the walls and glass casing all around them. the people seeming to be pleased enough at what they saw to take a picture.
âitâs sad to know they donât know what it really means. very pathetic really.â y/n mumbled to herself as she turned to annabeth. percy looked over at her and blinked before widening his eyes and choosing not to say anything about what she said.
âwhateverâŚweâre safe here, right?â grover made sure to comprehend as they walked.
âno monsters can enterâŚnot even echidnaâ y/n reassured grover who nodded nervously.
âweâre safeâ annabeth added on.
âgreatâŚwell since our train exploded! iâm going to see if thereâs another one we can get tickets on. we canât stay here forever.â grover looked over at the huge plastered picture of buffalo being attacked and hunted by hunters.
looking overly slowly at the three he said once moreââjust because weâre prey doesnât mean we need to be helpless.â turning around to leave, annabeth nervously cleared her throat and walked up to him.
âwait! iâm going to go with you. you two wait here, donât leave and donât moveâ annabeth ordered y/n and percy who frowned their eyebrows.
âwhere would we go?â y/n asked her with a raised eyebrow. annabeth rolled her eyes and caught up to grover who walked rather fast.
as the two of y/n and percy watched annabeth and grover walk away, percy decided now would probably be a good time to start a bit of conversation to stop the awkward silence.
âhe doesn't like it when people mess with animals,â he added.
y/n didnât both turn to his side but acknowledged his voiceââyeah. i know.â
percy turned to y/n who kept her eyes focused on annabeth and grover even though they were long past the barrier of her eyesight.
ââŚwhy are you so quiet?â percy mumbled, his eyes looking over y/nâs frame that was unmoving from her standing position.
âwhy does it matter?â y/n turned to his presence now. seeing he was a bit away from here
âit doesn't itâs justâŚyou knowâŚkind of awkward?â percy nervously mumbled.
sighing percy didnât want to really give up on the conversation knowing it would probably be best. the last thing he needed and had the time for was for y/n to snap at him, but it was worth the shot.
âso, this is your moms place?â
y/n kept quiet and turned her eyes and head another direction from percy who kept speaking. clearing his throat he spokeâ
âbe right down just going to the pottyâ he said in a girly squeaky voice. this gained y/nâs attention.
as childish and stupid as it was, it was definitely an uplift from the previous mood. she lightly grinned but turned her head.
âlistenâŚme and you donât get along and we both know thatââ
âis it that obvious?â
âshut up and listen okay?â y/n sighed as percy nodded shamefully and let her continue .
âi know you said it all in me and annabethâs head���mostly mine? that i tell myself that our mother cares because itâs easier that way.â
percy let his eyebrows frown once more as he shook his headââi didnât say that?â he looked at y/n who turned her head to him and gave him a small look of which spokeââreally?â
he shrugged it off and continued to talkââlook ive been a demigod sinceâŚâ looking off to the side to calculate he finally came with an answerââlast saturday. you shouldnât listen to me.â he told her as y/n let what he said soak in.
looking off to the side a bit she came up with some ideaâplan for him to take, an offer.
âyou know, this is my mothers place. butâŚa temple is a temple. maybe you can say hi to your dad while your here?â she explained.
percy seemed to almost take up her offer but quickly denied it. not wanting to really contact poseidon at the moment.
âno thanks.â he quickly shrugged off. this came undeniably confusing to y/n.
âwhat could it hurt?â she genuinely wanted her answer but he still shook his head.
âyour think with your motherâŚi get it, itâs different, it works for you. but my fatherâŚi donât want anything from him. he had his chancesâhonestly youâve done more for me in the past free days than my fathers done my entire life. if i have to stick with someone iââ
trailing off as he caught himself y/n seemed to catch his slight slip up and tilted her head to the side a bit. her eyes looking him up and down before she smirked a bitââcareful..i think you were about to call me a friend.â
before the beginning of the quest. before all of this. they had claimed in stone, they were and would never see themselves as friends. nothing more nothing less: the two of them simply didnât see eye to eye. their priorities were set on two different things, and they both knew that.
but, things seemed to have change a bit on one end, and a lot on the other.
percy slightly looked down at the floor below as y/n turned her own head away from his.
âsomewhere around here the Oracle is laughing at us but you knowââ
as she said this percy seemed to feel insanely dizzy and instantly fell to the floor, y/n being there to catch himââwhoa! percy? whatâs going on?â she asked him, being careful not to bombard him with too many questions given the fact he just fell out.
her arms being slightly wrapped around his shoulders he held onto her as he let her slowly let go of him. percy slightly sat down onto the floor as he caught his balance.
âhey! what happened?â grover and annabeth came running immediately when they saw him fall.
âi thinkâŚi think those stinger things were poisonousâŚâ percy breathed heavily, his breath seeming to shorten on supply.
y/n looked around and it seemed to click for both the athena childrenââi have an ideaâ the both of them claimed.
as the two of them grabbed up on percy they found themself in the water that sat in front of the museum. with percy sitting down into it, the other three stood as they scooped and splashed percy from the head down with water.
he sat there and took it as they kept going scoop from scoop, hoping something would happen.
passers walked by and some stood to watch what they were doing and they their were kids sitting in the fountain but none took it upon themselves to stop it.
âthe water cured him back at camp! it should work with poison too!â y/n found herself quickening her scoops of water while annabeth looked momentarily at her sister who wore a very worried expression.
if anything, sheâs never seen her this worried. not for a while. not for percy.
âyou knowâi think, i think this is workingâ percy grabbed onto y/nâs hand who helped him standââthis was a great callâ he acknowledged their idea but only to end up stumbling back down into the water with even more dizziness.
âor not.â he breathed out.
âmaybe it needs to be naturally running water for Poseidon to heal him?â y/n mumbled while she placed her hand comfortingly over percyâs shoulder.
grover looked to annabeth who went to speak but just then they heard crashing and sirens going down just ahead of them. they all went to look and seen a police car being flipped into another car.
âwe need to get back inside!â annabeth went to pick up percy along with grover but y/n was quick to deny.
âno we need to keep trying!â
â this isnât working y/nâand sheâs coming!â grover sadly looked at y/n who stressed her expression of worry towards percy who looked up at her momentarily before the two of them looked ahead along with annabeth and grover to see echidna slowly strutting her way over to them with a grin.
y/n breathed out and quickly thoughtââokay look, weâll take percy inside and weâll go to the temples alterâ y/n went to pick up percy who grabbed onto her arm and hand as the other two helped to pick him up as well.
âalter? where is there an alter?â grover asked, frowning his eyebrows at the two.
âthe highest pointâthe best view!â
âokay! but what good is that even going to do us?â grover stressed once more.
y/n sighed and looked over to annabeth who looked at her and percy.
percy had his grip held tight on her as she equally had the same amount of strength being held onto him to secure him from falling.
âweâre going to get to the top, and weâre going to ask our mom for helpâ she breathed out. grover seemed to stop for a bit along with y/n who was nervous about this plan.
âask mom for help? annabeth are you insane?â
âi thought we didnât ask for help?â percy put his two senses in making annabeth look over to him. seeing they didnât have much time for anymore conversations, annabeth ushered the group to begin walking.
âcome on; we need to keep movingâ annabeth spoke in a hurry.
grover placed percyâs other arm over his shoulder to help balance out their walk and annabeth stayed to y/nâs side.
just as they began to walk and y/n with annabeth failed to walk a bit and happened to stumble behind. echidna began screeching to the two girl who turned and startedâcouldnât helpâbut listen. their expressions becoming more flat, a bit worried.
percy took a heavy notice of y/nâs absence and turned to see mainly her with a saddened expression on her face.
why did she look like that? what was she seeing? what was she hearing? his thoughts raced. seeming to focus on her rather than himself being poisoned.
she let her eyes widen and she snapped out of some trance along with her sister who gripped her armââguys? did you hear that?â y/n looked over to annabeth who nodded immediately.
grover and percy however?
âhear what?â percy asked her with concern. grover shook his head and y/n looked at annabeth who sadly looked down.
âcome onâletâs keep walkingâgo help percyâ annabeth told y/n who jogged to percy���s side and grabbed only his arm once more.
ăŕ¨ŕ§ă
as the group hurried their way around the people who were mindlessly talking with themselvesâcompletely unaware of the danger that was happening for the demigod children. they kept turning around to make sure their backs were clear.
some people would momentarily look at the group who carried one boy who looked like he just seen a ghost as they had their wet clothes tracing the floor as they walked.
the four of them getting into the small sitting elevator, they sat downââwhat was that back there? what did you guys hear?â he asked the two sisters, but his main eyes trained on y/n who didnât say a word. annabeth doing the same , she found her pinky slowly reaching over to y/nâs.
she got the hint and fully placed her hand over annabethâs. percy looked down at their hands and came with the conclusion.
âshe spoke to you twoâ percy breathed. his body was cold, and wet. the poison doing nothing more and adding onto his weakness and cold body.
âalecto did that with me. back in the museum back in new yorkâ he recalled. annabeth and y/n still not speaking a word, only looking down and blinking momentarily.
percy didnât really want to admit but he was becoming concerned for y/nâs mind. what did she hear that was bad?
âwhat did she say?â he asked once more.
just then, annabeth looked up in a hurry and squeezed y/nâs hand who looked up as wellâand there she was. echidna.
she stood over the small metal balcony with her moneyed baby right behind her.
just as the doors shut they saw the two horns. y/n let her eyes widen along with the rest of the groupâs.
grover gulped but began to talkââwas that the chimera?â he looked over to y/n who place she head in her hands and held them their in stressâpercy looking over with frowned eyebrows as his wet hair dripped into his eye.
âiâi think that was the chimera!â grover worryingly spoke. percy let his focus set on y/n who kept nervously looking anywhere but the group.
âhow did the chimera even get inside here? how did any monster get inside hereââ
ây/n?â percy breathed out, his worry building up on y/n who kept quiet. annabeth looked over at her sister who didnât even look at her either.
âweâre in a secretary, athena would have to let her in but why would she do that?â
ây/n!â percy called out to her once more. seeing her eye finally set up upon his own he hoped they could keep their eyes trained on one another.
âwhat did echidna say to you?â he askedâdemanded and answer.
she worryingly looked back down before shaking her head a bit, biting on the inside of her cheek.
âshe said my impertinence ruined our mother pride. and that that, would be our doom.â she looked angrily over at percy who shook his head.
âimpertinence? what kind ofââ finally recalling. medusaâs head.
giving y/n the look of knowing she gave him a look as well as annabeth and grover watched them talk.
â medusaâs head.â he nodded while y/n shook her head, a frown setting upon her features.
âi embarrassed my motherâŚâ
percy shook his head while trying to clear up his running thoughtsââbutâiâm the one who sent the head to olympus? i sighed the noteââ
âand i went along with it! it embarrassed herâŚnow sheâs angry. because of your impertinence, and because i was dumb enough to go along with it, we wonât get any help, we wonât get an answer from her!â y/n shouted to percy who shook his head.
ây/nââ
âno! annabeth, he needs to understand this isnât some game, this isnât camp, we can seriously die out here, and he canât just go around sending dead body parts to the gods just because?â y/n stressed even more as percy nervously looked at y/n who avoided his eye contact once more.
âguysâŚwhat are we going to do?â grover broke the silence as they seemed to be near the top of the arch.
âshe isn't going to help us when we get to the top to have percyâ annabeth expressed to grover who cut her offââno i mean what are we going to do about echidna and chimera? they're going to be right being us,â he exclaimed.
as the four of them looked at each otherâpercy hoping to catch y/nâs eyes but failed he looked down at the floor.
ăŕ¨ŕ§ă
âweâre not going to have much timeâ as the group let themselves out of the elevator, y/n getting out first to leave percy with grover and annabeth to help him out.
percy took a hard notice to this but tried to shrug us offââtheyâll be up here any minute. and if our mother isnât going to protect us, then weâll just have to fight it out up hereâ y/n finished as they walked up the short amount of stairs to the top.
once they did was when y/n lost her confidence for a second and saw a huge crowd talking among themselves with phones taking pictures and smiles on their faces.
and when percy, grover and annabeth were behind her, they saw the extent of trouble they were in.
âoh noâŚwe gotta get everybody out of hereâ grover expressed with worry as he held onto percy.
percy looked to y/n who seemed to smile a bit with her idea.
running to the fire alarm she pulled it, setting off a loud beep that got everybody's attention.
as everyone slightly panicked and walked their way down the hall with the others, y/n placed her hand onto annabethâs shoulder and ushers them along the hall.
âyou guys follow the group down the stepsââ
âwhat?â percy hurried to look at y/n who momentarily look at him then back at grover who spoke.
âno, noâweâwere not spitting upâ grover expressed.
âgrover come on!â
ây/n iâm not leaving you here!â annabeth spoke to her sister who gave her a sad look.
âno⌠no no no no weâre all getting out of here togetherâ percy breathed out, hoping to get y/nâs attention. once he did he kept their eyes focused on one another.
âwe wonât make it! the chimera is a demigod killer! someone has to stay back to slow her down and buy everyone some timeâ y/n walked with her hand on annabethâs back while they walked to the steps with everyone going down in a hurry.
once they got to them, grover, annabeth and percy turned to y/n who stood at the door to make sure she shut it before they left.
âokayâonce you get downstairs you need get him to the river. and donât stop. not till you get to hades. not till you have the bolt, do you understand?â y/n looked at the three before looking at percy, he shook his head in denial.
ây/n you canât just stay here and say that and expect me to listenââ
âdo what i say annabeth! just this once, okay?â she pleaded. annabeth shook her head with a frown upon her lips, forever going the same.
âokay go!â she heard the footsteps of the two right behind and went to shut the door only for percy to speak.
not wanting to let her go he quickly came with a plan.
âwait!ââ taking the pen that formed into a sword out of his pocket he held it to y/n who looked at it.
flipping it around to make sure the handle would be in her touch, he held it out to her and spoke once moreââtake thisâ he held out to her.
as she went to reach slowly, he waited for her grip to hold tightly onto itâonly then did he switch sides, pushing her into the room and closing the door.
âpercy!â y/n yelled out to percy who made sure the door was locked.
âpercy!?â grover yelled. the three of them baging on the door as percy breathed heavily, his body weak and pale.
âpercy no! donât do this! theyâll kill you!â y/n yelled her voice becoming louder but more weak.
âposiden never helped me before. he wasnât gonna start now. i wouldâve never made it to hades. but you can. and now you will.â percy talked to them before he walked away from the foot. their banding never stopping.
âpercy! please?! you canât do this!â y/n cried out.
walking towards echidna and the chimera who walked their way to percy whoâs eyesight blur more and more. causing him to stumble and his weakened grip on his sword.
âthis is the end sweetheart.â echidna spoke softly, her motherly tone never wavered. âdonât fight it. youâll only make her angry.â she warned.
as the chimera walked over to percy he held his sword up higher with determination in his eyes. the chimera began to growl as she went to open her mouth, inside a small orange and red glow becoming prominent, percy swung his sword at the leg of the chimera, making it rawr out in anger and slight pain.
ăŕ¨ŕ§ă
behind the door y/n banged harder and harder, hoping somehow he would come back and change his mind.
annabeth couldnât watch her sister be like thisâhurt, confused, mainly disappointed. turning sound as she reached into her pocket to grab her own sword that extended, she let it change its form into a smaller pick pocket knife.
âyou two! go now, go to the bottom of the steps and wait outside, police are bound to show up, so stay with them and donât move! iâll meet you down there with percy!â y/n demanded her sister and best friend who shook their head.
ây/n pleaseââ
âannabeth! listen to me! okay? iâll be okay, iâll see you guys down there, go!â she pushed them slightly as they looked at y/n once more who nodded to the two, giving them a slight smile.
annabeth gave one back as she nodded and grabbed along of grover, the two of them making their way down the stairs.
as y/n turned around the let her knife be placed into the middle of the lock, letting it extend, it did just enough to to break the lock and break the metal of the door.
ăŕ¨ŕ§ă
pulling and pushing its paw up, she pushed percy far into the metal railing of the side of the wall, making him fall and yell out in pain. the chimera snarling at percy. as she walked over to percy once more he laid onto the floor with weak arms and body to see it open its mouth and their in the pit of her throat, fire. being bubbled and arousing through the back of her throat.
âpercy!â y/n yelled. he turned around immediately to see y/n run towards him and pull him out of the way of the chimeraâs fire that erupted through its throat and mouth, spreading and melting the floor below. y/n grabbed ahold of y/n as she pulled him away form the fire.
his grip holding onto her to make sure she was safe and unharmed, y/n quickly checked over percy as he nodded slightly.
in the distance, echidna raised her hand and flexed it towards the floor before them, a huge gaping hole being torn open into the carpet and metal floor. the wind from the highness of the arch blowing into the faces of y/n and percy who held each other.
the chimera roared loudly as y/n went to help percy stand up the two for them made their way over to the chimera with their swords in hand, y/n made her way in front of percy who noticed this and tired to quicken his pace so that he was in front of her.
swinging her sword the chimera dodged it and hit y/n so hard she passed out right onto the other side of the hole.
ây/n! percy yelledââ soon percy tried his turn only to be hit with the chimeraâs horns. throwing him back in the walk and down the gaping hole.
the chimera seeming pleased, it walked its way along with echidna to see percy still holding on.
ây/n! wake upââ he grunted.
y/n paid along the side of the carpet ground with her head pounding.
âso unfair. you never had a chance did you?â echidna looked down at percy who was praying to whoever that y/n woke up right now.
âif only someone cared enough about you to provide you with oneâ she tilted her head as percy grunted and held onto the metal plate that was the only thing supporting him right now.
ây/n?!â he called out once more.
just afar, she grunted and let herself slowly wake up. just as she looked over and grabbed ahold of her sword. seeing echidna shake her head down into the hole she stumbled her way up, the blood on the head running down her eyebrow and down the side of her eye.
âpercy?â she looked and saw he was nowhere to be found.
putting up all her strength, she stood up and hit echidna across the back of her head with her sword making echidna help out, the chimera turning around to her mother to her y/n had yelled outâ
âpercy!â she yelled seeing him reaching out to her as he fell, she took her jump and went right after him.
the two of them falling down further and further, y/n stretched her hand far enough for the two of them to be holding each other's hand.
as y/n felt herself lose consciousness once more from her injury, percy gripped her hand even tighter, and just as he turned a bit from the air around them, he saw a huge water thing, coming right towards them.
ăŕ¨ŕ§ă
when percy came to. he was under the green water. the small fish and thing around him, he hurried his eyes and head to turn and see y/n not too far from him. her eyes still closed and her hair clouding around her.
swimming out and going to pull her up to the surface, percy felt himself and her go back down a bitâlooking to see her foot caught and stuck around something that held her in place.
swimming down a bit to held her foot get unstuck he grunted and strained as the bubbles from his mouth started to flow and go up to the surface. pulling and pulling he suddenly saw something.
something glowing in the green waterââyou are frightened.â it claimed.
blinking his eyes to see what it was he frowned, but kept pulling at y/nâs foot, his only priority was to get her out.
âitâs alright percy. your father sent me to tell you, itâs alright.â he paused a bit at this and looked over at the flowing glow.
âjust breath.â she instructed. going to do soâhe abruptly stopped and went back to pull at y/nâs foot. her head still bleeding and her body still unconscious.
âyour father is here, heâs always been hereâ she continued to talk as percy pulled at y/nâs foot.
âitâs so hard for him to stand back, to see you struggle. it is so hard for us all. but heâs here, and heâs so very proud. trust him. trust yourself. stopping his movements and looking over at the flowing glow, he held onto y/nâs leg who started to shake awake.
her eyes slowly opened and focused to see her and percy and somehow ended up into the water. she looked to see percy looking over at something, following his gaze she saw what he was seeing and frowned.
âjust breath.â she told once more and when y/n turned down to percy, he breathed in and seemed to be breathing just fine under the water.
looking up at y/n he saw her holding her breath and went right back to pulling her foot with all his might, this time she was there to help. pulling up her foot, percy came with an idea, one that she definitely wouldnât like.
going up to her, face to face, he placed his hand on her shoulder then soon her neckâif y/n couldnât speak with her words, she definitely would with her expressions. with one that wokeââwhat are you doing?â
he looked down with his eyes at her mouth and she immediately shook her head knowing exactly what he was implying. he looked at her and grabbed ahold of her cheek while she looked down to pull at her foot, her lungs burning and screaming for air.
percy gaining her attention, she blinked the water going in and out of her eyes and she held his eyes with her own. frowning she nodded her head slightly and let percy lean in under the waterâhis lips setting upon hers he breathed in his air to buy her more time. once they retracted, y/n and percy held eye contact before he kept his hand held on her own.
once he was down to her foot, he tugged as she pulled and soon she was free.
grabbing only y/n, the two of them hurried and swam to the top.
ăŕ¨ŕ§ă
when they got to the surface, they swam to the concrete surface and pulled themselves along the metal rails. y/n got the helping hand of percy who pulled her with the two of his hands.
âyour okay, are you okay? your okay, right!?â percy rushed to ask y/n who caught her breath and immediately reached up to touch the blood and wound that happened to close up.
looking at percy who half his hand on y/nâs arm and neck he checked her body and she took note of how he was healed as well.
âpercy! iâm okayâŚim okayâ she soothed him as he slowled his movements and looked into her eyes.
âyou jumped after meâŚyou followed me down not knowing what would happenââ
âhow could i not percy! how could i not? you are so careless, reckless and so selfish to think nobody would think of you and how you could have died! you left meâ us, behind in the staircase to go off on our own and save your mom from the underworld!? how messed up is that percy! she would want to see her son! not two kids who she doesnât know!â y/n percy in his chest who stumbles back.
he looked nervously up at y/n trying to grab her hand only for her to slap it awayââyour selfish, greedy, reckless and so so stupid percy jackson! and iâm stupid enoughâŚâ when he heard this he looked at her from the ground to see her slowly shaking her head at percy who looked up at her with hope.
âiâm stupid enough to be the idiot one as well and jump after you. and iâm stupid enough to have cared so much. too much about you. percyâŚyou canât do things like thatâŚnot now, not even. not as long as iâm alive.â she felt her eyes water a bit with the amount of worry he put her through when she was behind that door and out of his reach.
percy took note to this and hurried to grab her up and hug her tightly. she arms immediately finding their way around his body and his wrapped along her body as well. the two of them held each other so tightly they forgot about the world around them.
when they let go from the hug that seemed to have lasted forever, sorry nervously laughed. y/n looked confusingly at him with a small grin on her face.
âsoâŚwhat happened underwaterââ
âdonât!â y/n placed her hands over percyâs mouth who smiled at her as she shook her head in a hurry, her cheeks seeming to redden.
ây/n!â
âpercy!â two voices yelled from behind them. the two of them turned around to see grover and annabeth running to them.
âannabeth!â y/n happily yelled. as they embraced each other, percy hugged grover who hugged him tightly.
âyour safeâ annabeth breathed outââbut howââ
âdoesn't matter! what mattersâŚis that weâre together, safe.â y/n smiled as she turned around to grover and percy. her eyes lingering on percy a bit more which seemed to not go unnoticed by grover and annabeth.
âcome on! we need to get movingâ annabeth held her hand along y/nâs back who walked with her.
as they walked, annabeth and y/n talked amongst themselves while grover and percy walked.
grover noticed how percyâs eyes never left y/nâs form and his focus never left her.
âso..â he started. percy let his eyes linger but his head turn to grover before his eyes focused on him.
âwhat happened under water?â grover finished making percy abruptly stopped, pulling grover with him laughed.
âwhatâhow do youââ
âmy ears hear many things dudeâ he smiled at percy whose face was grew redder by the second.
turning to see y/n and annabeth still walking and talking he turned to grover, turning him around so their backs were friend to the girls.
âunder the waterâŚi found out i can breath. but y/n was stuck soâŚto give her more airâ i had to share my airââ
âso you kissed?â grover interrupted making percy grow red all overââdonât say it like that and donât let her you know! sheâll kill meâŚshe also. happened to tell me she actually cares about me, a lotâ percy smiled at the recalling of what she said.
âsoâŚshe basically confessed she likes you?â grover added once more. percy looked to the side as he nodded slowly.
âdude!â
âgrover please! donât tell herââ
âi wonât i wonât!â
percy nervously breathed out before letting go of grover who straightened his jacket.
as the two turned around to see the girl waiting but still taking, grover turned it percy and yelled with a smileââso y/n what happened!?â he ran over to y/n making percy run after him
âgrover!â percy yelled.

SUMMARY: married life with eiland
COMMENTS: i've been thinking so hard about marrying this man i have two lawn chairs next to my mail box and a desk for him and a chest full of sweets for when we get married im planning ahead ahead i need him so bad
reader is compared to lady luck but they're not fem aligned.
Itâs not uncommon for you to wake up in the morning to see Eiland curled up in bed, his reading glasses askew and a book opened over his face. You always remove the book gently, marking his page with a bookmark you keep handy on your nightstand and he thanks you profusely for it later. Itâs not even that he stays up outrageously late, you just so happen to have a husband who is so dedicated to his research he can hardly put it down!
Although he would love nothing more than to have chocolate chip waffles with whipped cream and a hearty amount of syrup for breakfast, he is unfortunately bound by the knowledge that food like that has little nutrients and will not keep his precious spouse up and running throughout the day. Soft hands cut up fruits into hearts and stars, depositing them into one of your bowls with a proud smile as seasonal fruit pancakes sizzle on your stove. He takes pride in taking care of your needs. That is, after all, what a husband does! (Ignore the copious amount of times he messed up a dish...he's trying his best.)
Whenever he comes home after a meeting with his sister, he makes sure to ask your opinion on things. If it's something the two of you donât agree on (much to his chagrin...yes, he pouts about it later) he will still report your honest opinion to Adeline. His sister can tell immediately if you agreed or disagreed with him based on his facial expression alone.
Eiland has a tendency to say things that can be taken in a flirtatious way, but are usually innocent. He still has not learned to watch his words with you even after years of marriage, calling you over to Louisâs stall to look at the beautiful wedding outfits and yapping about how lovely you would look in them. Oh Eiland, he has no idea what heâs implying!
Due to his hobbies, he is more of a help on the farm than some may think! Youâre certainly going to have to walk him through ranching if he decides he wants to feed the animals, but heâll pick up on how to plant seeds a lot faster. Heâs quick work with a shovel and can figure out a hoe in no time flat! (He thinks youâre so cool and just wants to help out his lovely spouse, please let him.)
Without a doubt, you will get wrapped up in his Dungeons and Drama campaigns. Heâll be delighted if you make food based on the campaign and will brag for weeks about it. Be prepared to be referred to as the lovebirds when you come to the Inn on Fridayâs! Thatâs simply how Mistria works Iâm afraid.
Elsie is going to have the time of her life when the two of you get married. Sheâll be on cloud nine, orbiting the two of you with well wishes and the most random gifts she insists you two need for your new life. Itâs very sweet of her, even if youâre not entirely sure what youâd use a fondue pot for other than satisfying your husbandâs raging appetite.
Daily trips to the Western Ruins and The Narrows are a must. Eiland likes to check in on the Museum, having been contributing to its upkeep for a long time now. If you find him starting a special set of armor tucked away in the back of the main area, donât mind him. Heâs just reminiscing on old times with you.
Eiland takes very good care of his skin and hair, and if you let him heâll pamper you every morning and night. He tends to lose his sense of personal space when he does this though...his face will be very close to you. If you lean in to steal a kiss, heâll jump and laugh, cheeks growing warm as you smile at him.
When he spaces out, heâll reach out for your hand and start fiddling with your wedding ring. Youâd think heâd fiddle with his own, but he likes feeling your knuckles under the pads of his fingers. Eiland will slowly come back down to Mistria at some point, his eyes focusing on his fingers against your skin and your soft smile shining upon him like Lady Luck herself. Truly, he got so lucky.

Stawp!
Louis and bestie reader are so cute
They would be so satc coded and go out for drinks and vacays
Also i think reader would introduce him and call him "my beautiful louis" to other people
But imagine louis getting home and texting her with a smile on his face all cute đĽ°
I like the idea of the person who makes vampirism good being her, a platonic relationship, in contrast of a romantic companion.
Also i imagine this convo:
Armand: do you have to go over to her apartment every other day?
Louis: first of, we have our movie night fridays together and you know this!
Armand: its 4 a.m
Louis: duh? I got to get there while the sun is down, besides we need to pick up thai food because she does not cook and she will starve herself before turning on the stove
AND ARMAND WITH HER
I feel like after he knows her, he would be jealous of any relationships/ one night stands she might have (louis knows about them obvi! She calls him all the time đ
đť)
Im obsessed with this concept đ
everything about this is so perfect!! i'm so happy you got the vibe! i feel like he just needs someone to pull him out of his (slightly subconscious) angst and something about that happening through a platonic relationship is so endearing to me
they're so satc coded too, just besties drinking and vacationing and having (slightly) delusional conversations <3
also bestie reader calling him "my beautiful louis" to others is everything to me đ they for sure love each other so much omg
armand is definitely so messy with this đ he's like a cat trying to gaslight their owner into thinking they don't want attention
bc i love this sm here's an actual drabble/fic:
pls be nice writing for new characters for the first few times is so daunting for no reason đ, also armand is a bit messy here <3
----
Not unlike daylight's earliest hours seeping through shut curtains, the haziness--the easiness--you offer him is persistent.
Louis has grown accustomed to the feeling, to the consistent warmth of your friendship, but every once in awhile the sentimentality of it all digs at him.
"This is..." You trail off, legs crossed beneath you and television remote still loosely held between your fingers. "Complex."
Louis's focus flits between you and the screen you're intently staring at. The two of you hadn't set out to watch a documentary on some nature channel, but this is far from the first time you've gotten distracted by some default program while attempting to put on a movie. "Very."
His sarcasm is enough to break the spell. You turn your head, frowning, "Don't make fun of me."
The documentary cuts to a well lit, sparsely wooded forest. The camera focuses on a deer patiently grazing on the surrounding foliage.
"Iâd never," he mumbles, suppressing a smile in an attempt at seeming as serious as he needs to be for the joke to work.
You let out a sound that's too gentle to be a laugh before straightening your shoulders and returning your attention to the television screen. There's something ironically pointed about the way the peaceful background melody fades into something more sinister. Looming Danger.
The deer, alerted by some sixth sense, stiffens, its body stretching to its full, insignificant height. The camera zooms in, focusing on the deer's wide eyes and unmenacing features. "That kind of reminds me of you."
This time, your laugh is full, sharpened by a partial scoff that's as amused as it is offended. "That's the weirdest thing you've ever said to me."
The comment is almost enough to ease him. The camera pans out, allowing the audience to see the other surrounding deer. "Maybe the deer from that one animated movie."
You're quiet for a moment, thinking through the implication of the words before turning your head towards him again. "You mean Bambi?"
He had been much too old to be interested in the film by the time it came out, but the name is vaguely familiar enough. "I think so."
You blink at that, tilting your head slightly. "How do you know Bambi?"
"I don't know Bambi," the argument is a relatively flat one. Louis turns to better face you, resting his arm against the back of your couch. "I've just seen some commercials."
That only seems to confuse you further. You straighten, pulling your legs towards your chest. "Where would you have seen Bambi commercials?"
"They were everywhere when it came out in the 40's."
You don't respond right away, your attention shifting away from Louis and towards your bent legs. As far as references that remind you of his lack of humanity, this is far from a drastic one. The 40âs werenât long enough ago to be inconceivable to you.
Still, youâre quiet, as if thinking through the potential outcomes of your reaction. You nod once. âRight."
When you look up at him again, there's a hesitant sort of curiosity behind your eyes. It's an expression Louis's more accustomed to than he wants to be, it's the way you look at him when you're reminded of the reality of the differences between the two of you.
You tap your nails against your knee. "Does it feel weird?" The question comes out with a suddenness that doesn't suit you, the stiffness of the words sharp and uncertain. "All that time--carrying it inside your head?"
For a moment, all he can bring himself to do is sit with the question. Your question. It's a simple enough thing to ask, but not a exactly a straightforward thing to answer. Especially not to you, who has yet to experience a significant passage of time even by human standards.
"Well," he starts, "You know about the way that time has impacted aspects of my memory." You watch him patiently, saying nothing to prompt or rush him as he thinks through his response. "It does make things feel different--years spent with someone can feel like moments, and moments with others can feel like eternity."
You nod once, allowing his answer to sink in. "Which one am I?"
He knows his answer before he knows how to put it into words. Youâre too familiar for either.
âYouâre more like a memory.â
Your eyebrows briefly pinch together at that. You part your lips, but before you can respond the documentaryâs music swells.
You turn your head in time to see the coyote lunge at a deer. You sigh, screwing your eyes shut before leaning forward, You press your forehead against his arm. âThatâs depressing.â
Louis could have anticipated the reaction, youâre usually more bothered by animals dying in movies than people. Still, though, your ability to find comfort in him of all things will never not perplex him.
Instead of pointing out that youâre the one that chose to watch this, he gently reaches for the remote. âFine, Iâll put on the movie.â
----
The familiar ringing is so muted, so low, Armand's certain that if it wasn't for his enhanced senses, he wouldn't have been able to hear anything at all. By the time he's turned his head, Louis is already reaching for his coat's pocket.
Armand frowns. If the late hour and limited number of people Louis talks to weren't enough to let Armand know who the message is from, Louis's smile as he unlocks his cell phone would be evidence enough. You--it's always you.
He continues forward, allowing Louis to type out a response without interruption. Once he's certain the message has been sent, Armand begins, "It's her again."
Louis's attention shifts away from the screen. "She's my friend."
"I know," he says, voice flat, "Your best friend."
"Stop it." There's nothing aggressive about Louis's response, but there's an underlying warning pressed into the syllables, the same almost-sharpness that Louis relies on whenever Armand implies a lack of fondness for Louis's latest source of entertainment. "It's not like that."
No, it really isn't. When you first began to weave yourself into Louis's life, Armand had almost convinced himself that this was a blatant betrayal that defied Louis's usual preferences. After about five minutes of assessment, Armand realized that the two of you really are as affectionately platonic as you claim to be.
"No," it's an easy enough concession. Armand continues forward, the coolness of the night's air sharp against his skin. Their walk hasn't exactly been the most exciting night of their companionship, but it has been non-contentious in a needed way after their latest session with Daniel. "You do spend a lot of time with her."
Louis's quiet for a moment, thinking through his response in a way that Armand finds unusual. "You could spend time with us, too."
The sentiment isn't as true as Louis intends it to be. While Armand's been around you regularly enough to consider you familiar, there are a few things that the two of you want to do on your own. Your weekly movie nights, casual drinking at bars, the surprise trip to Milan. And during the evenings in which Armand is there, Louis regards him with a subtle uneasiness that if you've noticed, you know better than to mention.
In your presence, what they are may only be portrayed in the softest of lights. The facets of vampirism must only ever be suggested, alluded to so faintly that they're rendered incapable of tarnishing that darling soul of yours Louis is so determined to preserve.
"And subject the poor, little fawn to an evening with two vampires?"
Armand keeps his gaze focused on what's ahead of them, but he can practically feel the lack of amusement radiating off of Louis. "Come on," he tries again, "She's not like that."
Although he'd love nothing more than to solely resent your existence, Armand does have to give you credit for that. You hadn't so much as missed a single step when Louis revealed the truth to you, never once treating him differently. You also barely flinched when Armand appeared in your home with no warning as a way of hurting Louis during a particularly lively argument. Armand's yet to determine if your bravery is a sign of idiocy or a testament to how certain you are in your connection to Louis.
It's far from rare for Louis to feel the need to defend you, but there's a determination there that seems urging. "She asked you to come over."
Louis's hesitation, though brief, is confirmation enough. He almost stills but seems to think better of it, placing his phone back into his pocket as if that will be enough to make Armand forget that you're the source of this. "She just ended things with the boy she's been seeing."
Hm. Not exactly an interesting update, but intriguing...more intriguing than why you usually call Louis, if nothing else.
"Alright," Armand agrees, "Let's visit your puppy."
----
The apartment building you live in is far from run down. You've slowly but surely transformed yourself into one of those rare artists with a curated following so obsessed with being able to credit themselves as the discoverer of the next big thing that they go out of their way to purchase anything that you've labeled as yours. Existing at the cusp of fame has allowed you to afford a decent apartment in the city, but it's nowhere near as nice as where you could be if you'd accept Louis's offer to get you a place closer to them.
Louis knocks on your door twice. In less than a second, you're clicking the lock out of place. You're beaming as you pull the door open, "Louis."
Armand watches Louis's expression melt into one of total warmth. There's a definiteness to your friendship that Armand might envy if he understood it any better. What's so special, so interesting about you that your presence is always desireable?
Louis extends an arm, offering you the bouquet of flowers he insisted on purchasing before visiting you.
Your smile widens even further at the arrangement. If it wasn't for the information that Louis gave him earlier, Armand would have no reason to think anything remotely upsetting happened to you tonight. "I love peonies. Thank you."
You lift a hand, your pointer finger gently brushing a thin petal as you examine the flowers. After a moment, you straighten, turning your head enough to acknowledge him. "Armand, hi." The greeting is cordial yet far from cold, the way you often are with him.
"Hello," he replies. You step back, pulling your front door open as a way of inviting them in. "I'm sorry about your boyfriend."
You pause at that, parting your lips as you look back at him. Louis speaks before you get the chance to, "I told you to look sad when we got here."
It's a playful chastising at best, but you react as if Louis had really meant it. In some ways, Armand believes he did. "Oh," the sound falls flat. You walk further into your home's entryway, giving them the space needed to enter. "Give me a second, I can do better." You turn slightly, holding onto the flowers a little tighter as you bring your free hand to your chest. "I'm distraught."
Your performance isn't worthy of a standing ovation, but there's a humor there that might have been charming if Armand's disinterest in you was less inherit.
"Nice try," Louis mumbles as he wanders towards your couch. He sits down with a casualness that highlights how used to existing in your space Louis really is. "Armand wasn't up for visiting anyone and I wanted you to at least look sympathetic."
You walk past your living room. Armand watches you for a moment before following, if for no other reason than to feel something resembling Louis's familiarity. He keeps his steps even, making a point of remaining a few paces behind you.
You stop in front of a cupboard. After opening the cabinet, you have to extend your arm so fully to reach a vase Armand's surprised when you manage to grab it without knocking it off its shelf.
"Trust me," you say, exaggerating the syllables as you approach the sink, "I'm very sympathetic." You place the vase beneath the sink before turning on the faucet.
Armand steps forward, setting a palm against the granite that makes up the island attached to your sink. "I'm sure." The words are spoken so lowly they're nearly drowned out by the sound of running water.
"What did he do?" Louis asks from his spot on the couch.
You lift the vase out of the sink's basin, shutting off the faucet as you move to set the glass onto the counter. "Broke up with me because he thought he had a chance with his ex-girlfriend."
"What?" Louis turns fully at that, craning his neck to look at you.
You nod sharply, completely validated by Louis's shock. "I know." You remove the plastic binding your bouquet together. "Men are the worst." You carefully pull a flower away from its bundle before placing it in the vase. The process of arranging the flowers must remind you who brought them to you, because after a second, you amend your statement, "Except you guys. Obviously."
"Obviously," Louis repeats in a way that only feels somewhat sarcastic. "So are you...upset? Angry?"
You pause, giving yourself a moment to really think about your response. "A little of everything, I guess." You pick up two smaller flowers by their long stems before placing them in the vase. "But not crushed." You reach for a filler flower. "I don't know...it's not like I was in love with him."
Louis rests an elbow against the back of your couch, propping his head up as he watches you continue to adjust your flowers. "I'm glad you weren't." You raise your eyebrows at that. "He wasn't the right person."
"You always say that."
"And I haven't been wrong yet."
You give him another look that would be threatening if it wasn't for the underlying fondness there. "Don't start." You don't wait for Louis's reaction before returning your attention to the flowers.
Armand watches you for a moment before allowing himself to take in your apartment. This place is a known entity, but it's not exactly familiar. He's never seen anything beyond the living but he has heard you talk about a room that you've converted into a studio space.
It's not as easy as it should be to imagine a space solely dedicated to your work when touches of it seem to cover your entire apartment. Two canvases too uniquely you to be purchased are hanging behind your couch, there's a ceramic vase on your dining table that reminds him of the way you paint, and then there's the abandoned palette and partially finished canvas still on its easel.
Armand walks forward slowly, approaching the painting as you and Louis begin discussing your least favorite things about the boy that ended things with you.
Even unfinished, the project is strong in its certainty, in its style. Your brush strokes are sharp, unafraid. Next to your well loved palette, there's a small photograph that parallels but doesn't exactly fully match the partially completed house on the canvas.
"That's an idea for a new collection--the repurposing of abandoned things, places..." Your explanation is abrupt in a way that borders on shy. "It's not meant to be as pretentious as it sounds."
There's a self deprecating quality to the disclaimer that doesn't fit you. Perhaps he's stumbled onto an actual insecurity. "Does someone seeing it like this make you uncomfortable?"
"Uh," you start, confused by his own suddenness, "No, not really. As long as you know to look it as a work in progress." You tap your nails against the counter. "I--I have a room down the hall that's full of half-finished stuff if you want to look at those, too."
The offer feels more like an attempt to convince yourself that you're okay with his analysis of your work before it's been polished than anything else. The concept of your uncertainty makes Armand curious enough for him to actively reach for your thoughts.
Armand's concentration shifts onto your mind, and he's immediately thrown by the vaguest implication of resistance. Your mental defense is so feeble it might as well not exist, but the fact that it does...that you're trying to at all is almost endearing enough to convince Armand to leave you be. Almost. "Are you attempting to block me out of your thoughts?"
You blink, the blood beneath your skin rushing its way up your neck at your embarrassment. "Are you trying to read them?" When your counter question doesn't impact him at all, you sheepishly offer an explanation, "Louis taught me."
Of course he'd teach his pet a new trick.
Louis lets out a small laugh at that. "The fact that he felt it at all tells me you're better at it than I'd thought you be."
Armand's gaze returns to your painting. You've managed to find a warmth, a beauty in the forgotten. "The implication of resistance isn't the same as resistance itself."
The criticism stings, but you don't let it impact your expression. You let out an exaggerated sigh, your shoulders slumping slightly to add to your point. "Be nice, I was just broken up with. Over text."
He continues to study the painting, his mind attempting to break the piece down by individual brush strokes. "That doesn't matter to you. Not really." Armand can almost imagine the creation of the house's boarders, of the formation of each individual stone and the heavy ivy covering them. "You're not 'crushed' because you're interesting and he's not, and a part of you knows that."
The sentiment behind the words leaves you desperate to push him away. Blood settles itself beneath your chest. Your feeble mental shield returns, this time determined enough for Armand to feel its desire to push him out.
"You don't know if I'm interesting," the response is too soft, too curious to reflect your unease.
You tap your nails against the counter, the gentle clicks of them hitting the granite echoing throughout the space. Armand refocuses on the canvas. "Louis wouldn't like you if you weren't."
Something about the statement seems to ease you. Armand's reminded of how almost overly genuine your friendship is. "Thanks."
Louis lets out an almost-scoff at that, his eyebrows briefly drawing together in a display of mock offense. "Don't make me sound so shallow."
"It's less about your shallowness and more about my winning personality."
"Uh-huh," Louis mumbles, pressing a synthetic lack of interest into syllables, "Well, as long as its about you."

a/n this is lowkey way longer than i expected it to be but i loved this dynamic so much so if you want to see more of them pls let me know <3

(âšÖš đ˘đ§ đđđđđ ) ââââ â˘
â chris is your dealer and strictly that. but what happens when both of you get too high? â
Ë ŕŁŞâš pairing. dealer!chris x fem!reader
âšâ â warning(s). mature language, suggestive, little smut, drug usage/mention (weed), smoking, rough make out sesh, pet names (princess) boob play, hickies, high
áśť đ đ° .á julesâ message. hey cuties! this is kinda inspired by the fanfic nervous by louis-core on wattpad and that one sceneee (iykyk) AND the song me and your mama by childish gambinooo đ this was so silly to write ENJOYYYY
â . . . im in love when we are smokinâ that la-la-la-la-la . . . â
it was late at night, probably around midnight. the moonlight shone down, casting a pearlescent light on everything it touched, but it was still dark enough to see nothing. you were currently waiting for chris at your guys spot, a random park that children would play at earlier in the days. you were sat on the sidewalk, facing the play structure that hasnât been touched since probably 9 in the morning.
you had texted him a couple hours ago for weed since you had just ran out earlier and was currently craving it. you and chris werenât anything. he was just your dealerâ nothing else. not even friends but not strangers. despite being nothing, you guys would have those late night talks at the park, just talking about random shit. and i mean random shitâ some conversations could be really deep and others could be random.
âhey,â chris greeted, gently kicking your lower back as he snuck up behind you.
âholy shit!â you turn around, startled. you roll your eyes and glare up at chris, âgod, you scared me.â
a small smirk of satisfaction played at his lips as he successfully scared you, âpussy.â he mutters.
he then took his hand out of his pocket, holding up a plastic bag of your prized possession. your eyes light up and a smile appears on your face, âthanks.â you hum out, taking the bag from him, âhow much?â
âon me today,â chris mumbles, sitting beside you. he runs his fingers through his brown hair and sets his backpack in front of him, âyou sounded like you needed it bad, so i brought the shit.â he unzips the bag, revealing a grinder, some rolling paper, and a blue lighter.
âyouâre sweet today.â you mutter, watching him take everything out, âi wasnt expecting you to smoke with me.â
he shrugs and scoffs, âdonât think about it. youâre paying me full next time.â
âyeah yeah.â you roll your eyes, adjusting your position so you were now sitting criss-cross apple sauce. you slowly open the plastic bag of weed, immediately feeling at ease as you carefully put it into the grinder.
chrisâ eyes widen slightly, âyou need help?â he teased, leaning back and propping his body up with his elbows.
you shoot him a glare, grinding the weed slowly, âuhm no. im capable.â you turn back to it before speaking again, âhybrid?â
âhybrid.â he confirms.
you hum in response as you finish grinding it. the rolling paper was out infront of you as you carefully placed it on it, making sure to not spill it on the concrete. the moonlight helped you to see as your gently rolled it up. you picked it up and brought it to your lips, your tongue slowly darting out as you glided it along the paper to seal it.
chris nods in amusement, lazily having his hand out as he signaled you to pass it to him. when you give it to him, he inspects it and a proud smirk painted his lips, âatta girl.â he mumbles.
âtold you.â you smile, handing him the lighter, âfirst hit.â
chris brings the joint to his lips, flicking it to create a spark. he takes a slow drag before exhaling and throwing his head back, enjoying the feeling, âfuck.â he lets out a low chuckle before passing it you.
you smile as you notice the euphoric feeling immediately hitting chris. you take a slow drag yourself, the feeling you once craved was now settling down as the high kicked in. you mirror chrisâ position beside him. as you exhale, you cough a little and chris turns to you with glossy eyes.
âyou suck.â he teased, taking the joint back, âthis is how itâs done.â
you give him a look as your mind began to get hazy despite only having one. he brings it to his lips once again, this time taking a longer drag. instead of exhaling, he holds the smoke in his mouth and turns to hover over you. it felt like the world just stopped when he brought his hand to gently cup your face and tilt it more up.
your eyes meet his icy and glossy eyes as his thumb carefully pulled your bottom lip down, causing your lips to part a little. he moved his head closer to yours, his lips brushed against yours for a split second before he exhales the smoke slowly into your mouth. your eyes widen as he gives you the smoke and moves away so he could watch you blow it out. as you do he nods again proudly, âcool huh?â his voice was raspier then usual with a hint of sultry.
you nod, pulling your bottom lip between your teeth as that intimate moment replayed in your head in 2x speed, âyeah.â you whisper.
âyour turn.â chris smirked, handing the blunt to you once again, âyou got it.â he thens pats his lap, gesturing you to sit down.
your eyes widen more and your cheeks flush a tint of pink, âuhm what?â
âi donât bite.â he scoffs, patting his lap once again.
you press your lips together as you crawl into his lap. he nods approvingly as his right hand landed on your waist and his left on your upper thigh. even though you two were completely out of it, you were still able to get a good look at him because of how close you were. the moonlight accentuated his cheekbones and the blue in his eyes.
he gently squeezed your thigh to get your attention, âfocus, princess.â the nickname and sudden squeeze quickly snapped you back in reality as you were literally caught staring at him.
âright.â you mutter, feeling the heat rise up to your cheeks once again. you remember all the steps that chris did, following his lead.
he slowly started tracing patterns on your soft skin, ânow come close and exhale okay?â he mumbles, reaching out to tuck your hair behind your ear.
you nod as you kept the smoke enclosed in your mouth. you do the same steps, cupping his face, pull down his bottom lip, and exhale. you move out of the way so he could blow out the smoke.
chris gives your thigh a light slap as he watched it evaporate in the air, âyouâre a natural.â
you smile softly, âthanks.â now it was for certain you guys were out of it and the euphoric feeling kicked in at the right time.
his hands gripped onto your waist much tighter for a split second. he then moved his head towards your ear and whispered, âlets do that without the weed, yeah?â he suggested, his breath gently brushed along your neck, sending a shiver down your spine.
he pulls away to read your expression. your face was beat red at his words, âwhat?â you whisper softly. of course you didnât mind, you wanted to kiss him but hearing those words outloud didnât seem real.
chris smirked, giving your waist yet another squeeze, âa kiss princess.â
âi know,â you whisper again, âare you sure?â
âeven though weâre high as fuck,â he mutters, âi mean everything i say right now.â his right hand cupped your face, pulling you closer, âits harmless.â he says against your lips.
you place your hands at the back of his neck, your pointer finger slowly intertwined with the silver chain that adorned his neck as a way to allow him. his soft lips met yours and you instantly melted at his touch. you needed more and more at that moment.
his hands traveled back to the curves of your waist, pulling you closer and closer if that was even possible. he ran his tongue along your bottom lip, begging for more.
you open your mouth ever so slightly as you tilt your head, allowing him. he slides his tongue in, exploring every inch of you and tasting you. he was automatically addicted. he loved the taste of the little weed that lingered on your tongue and the way your soft moans were like music to his ears. you were a drug he didnt know he needed.
your fingers got caught in his hair as you deepened the kiss, craving more. he groaned as you gently tugged his messy hair, the sound vibrated through your body causing every hair on your back to stick straight up. his tongue continued to swirl against yours, occasionally tugging and nibbling on your bottom lip.
he pulled away and quickly resumed the sloppy and messy kisses from your jawline all the way down to your neck, gently sucking and nipping at your sensitive spot. you tilt your head back giving him more access and gripped onto his hair tighter as he got rougher with the love bites. he groaned against your skin and continued to suck harder creating a red fresh bruise before soothing it with his tongue. another quiet moan escaped your lips as his hands went up your hoodie.
the things he would do right now to you were insaneâ the only thing that was stopping him was how you two were in a public park in the middle of the night. he lifts up his head from the crook of your neck smiling as he admired his work. your gaze focuses back on him as your chest rose up and down, trying to catch your breath. your hands were still tangled in his hair.
âyouâre pretty good at that too.â he mutters, his hands tracing to the front of your body as he slides them under your hoodie once again. they meet your breasts before giving your nipples a light pinch, âim fucking addicted,â
another moan escapes your mouth at his action. he shakes his head and sighs, âquiet princess.â he murmurs, squeezing your tits once more.
you let in a shaky breath and pull your bottom in between your teeth as he continues to massage them, switching paces from rough to gentle.
âyou dont gotta pay me for weed anymore.â he smirks, rolling your nipples with his thumbs.
âwhat?â you whisper, shakily as you look at him.
âwe just gotta make out everytime now,â he chuckles lowly, pressing a quick kiss on your forehead, âthatâs the payment.â

Cramps are krampusing so uhhh my thoughts on these dudes as romantic partners and additional explanation cuz why not
Explanation in order of chart
Doc Louis:
have you seen how much he cares for his boy? Absolutely doting and will always find a way to make time for you. Honestly the only thing you'd need to talk to him with is balancing time together as partners and his own time as Macs dad i mean coach
Piston Hondo:
super respectful and he seems very communicative and willing to talk about whatever issues you two may have in a relationship(although i doubt you'd have many). He's not as obsessed with his position in boxing as some of the other folks, which means of course he'll make time for you and would enjoy doing things you'd like to do(even if it isn't his personal cup of tea)
Don Flamenco:
He's a Spaniard. Love and romance is his whole thing if he sucks at that literally what is he here for. I think if there was an issue it'd be how petty he can be(less with you and more on personal vendettas/grudges with other folks), nothing serious tho
Bald Bull:
Ok ik he has anger issues and maybe it's the biases talking but he literally only gets mad when ppl are all up in his face. Only difference between him and me is I just start bawling when that happens lmao.
I think he's the only one with bigger problems in the "good partner" section but he gets higher up because if he isn't bombarded with the paparazzi he's literally chill. Nice sweet and domestic scene me thinks
Bear Hugger:
He would prolly rank higher but I feel he's the type to be a bit dense. Nothing enough to be a major problem but you gotta spell out some things to him sometimes lol. Maybe a bit more rowdy/"dirty" than preferred, but outside of that he's a 10/10
Disco Kid:
Just nothing remarkable tbh. For sure sweet and attentive but he might be coming home late from a party (and it really will just be him losing track of time but sometimes you gotta go 𤨠đ and give him an earful). Only fault would be his overt friendliness that might lead to others thinking he's flirting and he doesn't get it till you pull him aside and tell him and he's like OHHHHHHHH my bad lol
Glass Joe:
I probs should've ranked him higher lmao idk why he's there. I think the only thing I could fault him on is his innate stubbornness cuz no way is that only staying in the ring. It isn't that he'll fight with you on everything but he has a few select things that are his way or the high way and it just he like that.
Von Kaiser:
Look at him. He is filled to the brim with issues. I feel like his PTSD or whatever we want to assume he has gets to him a fair bit. Again I doubt it'll ever escalate to violence but there are times where it really does affect his ability to communicate or do things. Its assuredly a talk you two need to have and something you need to understand getting into the relationship. Also please get him into therapy I think that'll help but he's 42 I don't think he believes in that.
Mr. Sandman:
he'd be a fine boyfriend for sure, maybe a bit stoic in public with the occasional discrete smile here or there, but his anger issues are so much worse chat. Like he clearly values his position as world champion that when he lost it he wrecked a BUILDING!!!!
Im not going to say anyone here would be violent towards you but that man might punch walls or some shit. More than likely just absolutely obliterate his punching bag. His obsession might cause issues in your relationship that could lead to neglect on his behalf. You are for sure fighting with him on talking it out but he's sweet outside of that. If I had to move him he might teeter onto the rank below but the others are just worse so he gets saved there i suppose.
Great Tiger:
He just seems full of himself. Not as bad as SMM but enough that you'd argue with him from time to time. I feel like he'd use his clones to play silly pranks and they're fine until one day he does it when you're super tense and you end up yelling at him. His biggest sin is just not understanding what's funny to him could be annoying to you. It might take an outburst to set him straight than a one to one talk, though
Super Macho Man:
Does he treat the women he's with well? Yeah of course! At least when it comes to spending dough on them. He doesn't seem like the type to want a relationship in the first place, and if he does it's very brief since he's always looking for someone hotter than the last(or whoever is the most eager). If there is a genuine relationship, he thinks that gifts can supplement any other aspect to a relationship beyond showing you off, and would get mad that you ask him for a little quality time once in a while(like shut up he literally bought you a Porsche what more could you want????)
Also I'm going to be so real here if he doesn't think you're up to snuff looks wise he's going to be a bit of an ass. Mostly it's just him being more willing to push you aside for events and stuff because he considers you to be "lucky" that he's even sparing a minute of his time with you. Then surprised Pikachu face when you leave
Aran Ryan:
Who started this list I'm sorry chat but his ass is NOT ready for a relationship. What you get from this man is an emotionally stunted mess who can't process his own emotions beyond anger, much less yours. He either is dismissive of you at best or if he loves you completely still sucks because he doesn't know how to deal with those kinds of feelings.
He'd be possessive but not in the cute way; someone can look at you for a moment too long and he's bashing their skull in. Like it can even get to the point where he's iffy about any male friendships as a result.
Additionally that man can't process emotions for the life of him. I just feel like if he's sad he's the type to suppress it and ignore it via boxing or literally anything else until it catches up with him years later. As a result, you can literally tell him your grandpa died and he'd be like "damn" and go on with his day. Of course he feels absolutely fucking horrible for you but he assumes that his way of dealing with his problems is the way you should do it since ignoring problems = problems don't exist anymore.
Obviously, this does not work and you just end up fighting/crying. Genuinely he just doesn't seem ready for any kind of relationship and I don't think he thinks therapy is real or is the type to say it's for sissys or something.
On that note he's got a bit of misogyny to him(his quotes are not slay girlbosses) that are only not worse because his sister beats him straight.
Would he cheat? Eh. If it started off as a hook up or something than I just think he'd forget he's even in a relationship tbh. If he's actually in love absolutely not he's got standards sometimes
Soda Popinski:
I flip back and forth on where I'd place him because he seems fine overall, but of course it's his vice that does him in. It's more of a matter on how much you think his soda vice impacts his life, especially with Title Defense mode where he's super serumed with it. He's absolutely coming back home every day sloshed and you can only put up with that for so long. It's a balance act of his good character outside of his vice and the vice itself.
Donkey Kong: that is a gorilla. Ideally no one wants to date said gorilla.
Little Mac: he's aromantic to me chat he signed it to me himself.
I JUST REALIZED I DIDNT PUT KING HIPPO SHIT:
yeah nothing remarkable to him. At most yall are going to argue about how much money he spends on food but tbf you knew what to expect in this relationship idk why you're so surprised.
#punch out#punch out wii#punch out!!#little mac#von kaiser#glass joe#aran ryan#bear hugger#disco kid#king hippo#he's in the more section sorry chat#piston hondo#piston honda#don flamenco#great tiger#bald bull#soda popinski#doc louis#super macho man#mr sandman#dont get too mad at me chat do what you want with them#i just like taking things to seriously#i have no skin in the romance game so consider me somewhat impartial#at most im biased towards piston honda and bald bull#tried keeping hcs mostly out of this#at least in terms of story or background

head, heart, hand. {Felix Catton/Reader/Oliver Quick}
Part 23.
Summary: A conversation between you and Oliver as you both try to distract yourselves from thinking about the day behind, and the night ahead.
{ masterpost }
Need to Know: They/Them. Explicitly NB Reader. FWB!Reader/Felix. Reader is from a well off family but has pretty much been adopted by the Cattons.
A/N: 2957 words. i split the henrys dinner into two parts because the dinner itself was very different tonally to the conversation with oliver that needed to be had i think. this part is sfw but the next part Will Definitely Not Be :) also im putting more gratuitous shakespeare mentions because i love characters pointing out their own narrative parallels. i feed off of the lovely comments y'all leave, so if you have any thoughts you'd like to share, i always love to hear them!
TAGLIST IN COMMENTS!! // TAGLIST ALWAYS OPEN ! (just message or comment to be added)
----
No matter what you wore, these formal events made you feel like you were choking.
Oliver finds you in the shared bathroom a few hours before dinner began, already dressed and agitatedly fussing with your collar in the mirror. Spotting him in the reflection, your scowl doesn't clear, but you do start vocalising the thoughts that had been running through your head.
"Lady Daphne has three children, all under fifteen."
"What?" Oliver, still looking entirely casual in sharp contrast to you, leans against the sink, watching you with interest.
"Tonight; the woman next to you who isn't Ven, she has three children under fifteen, their names are -" squeezing your eyes closed tightly, willing yourself to remember, you swear with frustration as the children's names elude you. You'd managed to find and memorise Henry of Suffolk's children's names - Henry Jr and Charlotte - but you're again feeling like it's not enough. Your collar feels too tight.
Unbuttoning your top button for what must be the fifth time in the past half hour of your indecision, you groan with frustration.
"Are you okay?" Oliver asks carefully, to which you try and waive off his concern. Clearly, it doesn't work, considering he's making his way over to you to rest a gentle hand on your shoulder.
"I'm fine, it's fine," you tried again, though it still comes out with clear irritation. Closing your eyes again you try and calm yourself enough to focus, "I saw their names the other night in my notes, I know this," you hissed under your breath, "Lady Daphne and Lord Henry; he's Sir James' godson and his own sons are named..." you wrinkled your nose, braced against the counter, "they're fucking French names, I know this!"
"Are Lady Daphne and Lord Henry French?" Oliver asks.
"No, they're just pretentious," you bit out, though suddenly it came to you, "Regis, Gabriel, and Louis." A grin lights up your face at that; the tension leaves you for the moment in the wake of your small victory. You feel like you can breathe again. Oliver gives you a hesitant smile, at least glad to see you're feeling better for having finally remembered. Breathing a relief sigh, you turn to him properly, "how are you, Ollie?"
"Should I remember Regis, Gabriel, and Louis at dinner?" He asks with faint hesitancy. You shrugged.
"I'm sure it couldn't hurt," logically you knew your own anxious preparations were often too detailed for what the night would actually require, but if you had information that could help ease Oliver into this world to which he was unaccustomed, you'd offer whatever you could to make him feel prepared.
But when he asks if you want to stay with him while he gets himself ready for the evening, you still find yourself hesitating.
Farleigh had found you that afternoon as you'd been coming back in from your gardening; he looked more than a little irritated, but refused to explain his mood. There was something unusually guarded about him at the time, something almost bordering on reproachful in the way he looked at you.
As your heart sank with realisation, you tried to find a way to explain to him everything that had happened between you, Felix, and Oliver. The tricky part of it all would most certainly be reassuring him that you believed him entirely, while also figuring out a way to explain why you'd given Oliver another chance despite knowing he was lying to you and Felix. There was no way you'd be able to explain yourself in this moment, and Farleigh seemed to realise this too.
"If you have something to say to me," Farleigh told you tersely, glancing over his shoulder where you could both hear Felix chattering loudly to Oliver down another corridor, "if you can bare to tear yourself away from your darling, little Iago," he spits, and you sighed deeply, expression clearly showing your disappointment, which Farleigh paid no mind to, standing to his full height and fixing his cool gaze upon you, "you know where I'll be."
So now, here you were, after almost an hour trying and failing to distract yourself by skimming through Shakespeare's Othello since Farleigh's latest cruel nickname for Oliver had reminded you of it, you'd decided to bite the bullet and get yourself ready. Really you should head over to Farleigh's room and sort things out with him, talk everything through and smooth it all over, but Oliver looks so helpless at the mere thought of what tonight would require. You tell yourself you can always talk to Farleigh later.
The afternoon eases itself into early evening with far less tension than the middle of the day had brought with it. Simply being in Oliver's company does wonders for your nerves. Even if talk between you is limited, the silence is not uncomfortable; Oliver gets himself ready, and you continue to skim the play while splayed out on Oliver's bed, and the duvet that used to be yours, easing each other's anxieties in quiet parallel.
You're looking for a quote you half remember from when you'd studied the play back in high school, a line that would be all too fitting of an offer to Farleigh when you saw him next, picking up on his allusion while trying to assure him you weren't just blindly believing Oliver over him - there.
I am not merry; but I do beguile The thing I am, by seeming otherwise.
You keep the text open on the bedspread before you as Oliver asks you questions about the unspoken scripts that you all must follow throughout the night. There's something like vindication that wells up within you when you realise how easy you find it to talk him through them.
"Do you always wear suits to these things?" Oliver asks carefully in the intimate moment in which you stand before him, doing up the cuffs of his dress shirt.
"The Henrys dinners? Yes," you nod, nimble fingers dancing against the fabric by his wrist. An amused smile makes it's way across your lips as you explain without even really thinking, "the first and last time I wore a cocktail dress to a Henrys dinner I made one of them, Henry Rochester I think, very uncomfortable," you smirked at the memory, and though Oliver's glad to see you're more smug rather than uncomfortable about the memory, he still doesn't quite seem to understand why.
"Because you're...?"
"Technically yes," you huffed a laugh, letting go of the first cuff to do the second, "because he now gets hard thinking about me in a dress and he doesn't know how to feel about it, and I don't want to deal with that." For a moment, the words simmer in the air between you both, and you finish up with the second cuff, stepping back with a pleased little smile. Oliver, however, still seems to be confused, and finally you acquiesce, giving him the final piece of the story;
"It was a very nice dress, Henry was just so bloody wasted he forgot I was the one wearing it when he couldn't see my face when he walked in on Fi and I in the wine cellar decided to stick around and watch with his dick in his hand," you shook your head dismissively at the memory, rolling your eyes but still grinning, "which isn't our fault, it's our wine cellar, he's the one getting drunk and going for a roam on someone else's estate."
It startles a laugh out of Oliver, the sound bright and sharp as his hand comes up reflexively to cover his mouth. Your expression scrunches up, pleased at the sound. In the few moments that follow, you straighten out Oliver's collar as he's giggling to himself, watching you from behind his hand with warmth and something almost adoring.
"I should show you some time," you wet your lips, crossing your arms as you gave him a leering look over, your intentions obvious. Oliver flushes a little, smiling under your gaze.
"The dress?"
"The wine cellar," you corrected, making Oliver laugh once more.
"You sure you're not going to get me drunk and brick me in down there?" He asked, and your eyebrows rose at the unexpected reference to Poe's Cask of Amontillado. At your obvious surprise, Oliver gives a half smile, reminding you that you'd left a book of Poe's work in the drawer by his bed. He'd read it? You're not sure why you're so touched by that, but you are.
"If we end up drunk in the wine cellar, I promise I won't be leaving you alone down there," there's a surprising amount of affection in your voice for what is ultimately some pretty on the nose flirting, but Oliver seems to appreciate it nonetheless.
When you return from your own room with a pair of cufflinks for him, however, his expression is pensive as he's sitting on the edge of the bed, flicking through the copy of Othello you'd left there.
"Thought my party had something to do with the Midsummer Night's Dream one," he says with faint confusion. You've already got the line you'd found earlier memorised, so you're not concerned that he's flicking through, losing your page in the process.
"No, it is, it's just Farleigh -" except you really don't want to tell Oliver exactly what Farleigh had called him, had implied about him with a single, derisive nickname alone. Iago. You shrugged, "he just said something earlier that reminded me of it is all." Then, sitting down beside him, you shoot for a smile, "what are you up to now; tie?"
For a long few moments, Oliver gives you this utterly unreadable expression. You wonder if he knows the play; if he did, he could almost definitely make an educated guess about what Farleigh's comment may have been, especially given the very recent circumstances. Even if you don't know exactly how Oliver would react to something like that, you're not exactly eager to find out.
The moment thankfully does pass without further comment on the play, with Oliver instead standing and heading to the full length mirror by the wardrobe.
"Is your family helping Felix's with paying for Farleigh's uni and stuff?" Oliver asks with genuine curiosity in his voice as he glances at you in the mirror's reflection.
"What?" The question seems to come out of nowhere, and your reaction is entirely genuine.
"I just wondered if that was, you know, part of the reason he was so loyal to you," Oliver shrugged, though there's something almost apologetic in his eyes, "and, I guess, why you knew you could trust him to be so loyal?"
How did he even know the Cattons were helping with Farleigh's education? Your suspicions were with Elspeth, whom you loved despite how much of a gossip she always was, but Oliver admits that Felix had told him about how he and Farleigh were cousins, and Sir James' guilt over his semi-estranged sister, all the way back at Oxford. Ah, makes sense. Part of it was probably to explain why Farleigh was always hanging around them despite his obvious distaste for Oliver. It takes you a beat to compose your thoughts; knowing both Oliver, and Farleigh, you had to be deliberately sure of whatever information you shared in this moment.
"I'd give Farleigh anything if he asked," you admitted, wearing a faint, sad little smile as you recall how coldly he'd looked at you earlier that day, "but he never has," you shook your head, "not about something like that at least. Why?"
Looking over at the mirror, you see Oliver with his tie done up, looking at you in the reflection as though you're a puzzle he's desperately attempting to solve. But, when you smile, he returns the look in kind.
"I think this might just be one of those times where I have to remember you telling me there's more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in my philosophy," Oliver says with a wry smile, and you can't help but laugh at the memory of your first proper conversation with him about your friendship with Farleigh on one of Oxford's many rooves.
"Farleigh is simply one of my best friends; I don't begrudge him his pride, it's part of who he is, and I love who he is," with your warm laughter, the mood in the room has lightened considerably, and you finally stand. Wrapping your arms around Oliver from behind, perching your chin on his shoulder, you take in the sight of you both in the mirror.
"You know, I think you'd look so beautiful in a dress if you ever wanted to wear one," you tell Oliver idly, handing over the box with the little, golden cufflinks that you'd been fidgeting with on the bed.
"Beautiful enough to give an old man a sexuality crisis?" He asked with a blithe grin, pulling out of your grip if only to make his way to the cupboard where his jacket had been hung.
"Oh, undoubtably," you don't even hesitate, sitting yourself in the arm chair by the window, watching him once more.
"Don't know if I could start with a cocktail dress," he says, gazing at himself in the mirror with a pleasantly thoughtful look in his eyes as he genuinely considers the idea. Then, "I think I trust you with this more than I trust me," he gives a suddenly self conscious chuckle, ducking his gaze, fidgeting with the collar of the jacket he was still holding.
"You don't have to start anywhere if you don't want," you assured him faintly, but Oliver's smile is so damn affectionate.
"It's fuckin' impossible to describe the kind of effect you have," he tells you, shaking his head, "if you say I'd look beautiful, all I know is that I think I want to look beautiful, just so long as it's you who's looking at me."
"I feel very lucky sometimes," you give an endeared hum at his words, grinning to yourself, "my beautiful boys." Oliver, jacket now on, freezes. He's turning a delightful shade of red at that, looking like he was trying and failing to fight off a pleased grin. Finally, he meets your gaze in the mirror, "would you let me put together a costume for you, for your birthday?"
"What?"
"It's a costume party after all, could I put together a costume for you? Not a cocktail dress, I promise," you teased, and Oliver finally turned back to you, regarding you with nothing but love and affection.
"You know, sometimes I still can't believe you give me the time of day," the words almost seem to surprise him as they leave his lips. Something in your chest tightens, and you pause, once again caught off guard by Oliver Quick. There's a sweetness to the way he speaks that has butterflies fluttering so strangely in your stomach, "you're so..." he turns the words over in his mind, looking for the correct one, before he finally settles, "you're a dream," he says simply, "I don't think you don't get enough credit."
His words fill the sudden silence of the early evening as he steps towards you, cufflinks in hand, offering them as a silent request for assistance. You agree without even thinking.
In the back of your mind, you hear Farleigh calling Oliver Iago, but you can't bring yourself to care. Yes, Oliver spent enough time around you, observing you, talking to you, being in your space, that he knows exactly what to say and how to say it to endear himself to you. Clearly he's genuinely fond of you, but it's not often he gives you a compliment like this. Everything always so deliberate.
But it feels so fucking good to have someone put in the effort for you, someone other than Felix. Felix had always known how you worked, what songs to sing to make you dance if the whim ever struck him. It almost overwhelms you to realise that Oliver had learned how to hum along to the quiet song your heart sings too.
You wonder if you should tell Oliver that he doesn't need to try and manipulate his way into your life, that you'd already made a place for him here, all he had to do was ask to stay.
"I keep giving you the time of day because I'm very, very vain," you can't bring yourself to face his sincerity with any of your own, or you think you may either start crying, or possibly jump his bones, and it's too close to dinner for either. Instead, you grin from ear to ear, teasing tone letting him know how clearly you were joking, as you fixed the first cufflink to his jacket's sleeve, "and you keep saying lovely things about me."
"Lucky for me then that I don't think I'll ever run out of lovely things to say about you," you'd forgotten just how well Oliver could flirt when he really wanted to. Eyes bright and smile brighter, you can see mischief sparkling in his eyes when you look up, meeting his gaze. You love this boy so much it feels like it hurts at times like this.
"Think that means I should keep you very close by, at all times."
"Very few places I'd rather be, sweetheart."
That beautiful bastard knew exactly what he was doing to you.
Later, out of this space, out of this moment, out of Oliver's arms, you could go back to worrying about the night, about all the lies oscillating around your whole situation, about Felix and Farleigh and Venetia. Later, you'll find yourself thinking that Farleigh may have had far more of a point with Othello than you'd first realised when you read 'one that loved not too wisely, but too well' before you put the text back on the shelf.
Later.
Right now, you let Oliver pull you in for a kiss.

Harry Styles: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly! ďżź
When we hear the name Harry Styles, most of us scream our lungs out. The ex One Direction member holds our hearts in his hands without batting an eyelash.
Harry Styles was born in Worcestershire, England February First to Anne Twist and Des Styles making Gemma Styles an older sister. Harry would describe his childhood like any other.
âI was just a normal kid, playing football in my backyard,â he states. âIâd make fun of my sister while she called me a butthead before weâd go and watch something on the telly.â
Styles opens up about being a child from divorce. âMy mom and dad had problems. Theyâd fight here and there and Gem and I would just hold each other in one of our rooms. My parents finally decided enough was enough and separated. I was ten years old, somewhat heartbroken but ultimately relieved.â
When Harry was eleven he met the most loveliest woman heâd ever seen. Sheâd just moved from America with her dad and five older brothers. The moment Harry saw her, he just knew!
âI couldnât keep my eyes off of yn. She was breathtaking. I had to get to know her!â
Harry and Yn relationship begins when they were only twelve years old. From that moment they were each others first love. Harry states heâs never felt love like the one heâs had with YN.
Harry opens up about his personal life with his wife and his kids. Including the moment they became teen parents.
âWe were young and dumb. The only thing we were thinking about was each other. When she called me crying, telling me sheâs pregnant, we were just about to hit fourteen. Weâd just started high school and we were scared shitless. I ended up getting a job at the local bakery and our parents helped us as much as they could. When our son was born we never felt so much pride and joy. We created this tiny little human out of love. Nothing has ever made either of us feel more proud.â Styles goes on to say.
Harry then talks about his dream of being a singer. He opens up about how silly he thought it was, but how his mom, sister, and wife talked him into auditioning for the X-factor.
âIf it werenât for my family, I would have never went to that audition! My mom and sister always encouraged me to live my dream. In my head it was a given. âOf course theyâll say this, im their son and brother.â I thought to myself. But YN wasnât either, I guess it was different when I heard it from her.â
Styles smiles as he discussed how he use to sing their son [Corbin Styles] to sleep. âHeâd have this huge smile on his face. Every single time heâd close his eyes, heâd fight his sleep just so he could hear me sing. Thatâs really when I knew, I gotta audition!â
In that moment, Harryâs life changed forever! He was apart of the biggest boyband in the world, One Direction. Being put into a group with four other boys [Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik] Harry talks about his relationship with each band member.
âBeing put into a group with four different boys was difficult, sure! Of course it was exciting and love there in the beginning. Weâre just five boys who had the same dream. But weâre also five boys with five different personalities, five different voices, five different views of the world, five different love stories. We bumped heads a lot, especially towards the end,â Styles states. âI think after four years of constant tour, no breaks, arguments, screaming, and barely seeing our families, we were all kinda done. At this moment I was married to YN, she was pregnant with payton, so I wanted to be there for her and both of our kids more. Louis was about to have his own baby, Liam was dealing with his own battles, Niall had family troubles, and Zayn had left the band. We were all kinda worn out. It was time we ventured out on our own and see where life would take us. In a way, it made our relationship better. Niall, Louis, and Liam are all uncles to my children. Zayn was my best friend in the band, he was named god-dad.â
We asked Harry about his first album, how it came about. âIt was simple really! Iâve been writing my own music for a long time. I went to Jamaica with my wife and kids and it was lovely. I put together my own band, figured out which songs I wanted out there, and once it was ready, we set a date and even prepared for tour.â Harry smiles at the memory. Though it never reached his face.
This is when we asked him about his second album. Fine Line had been release two years after his self titled album, Harry Styles. Hearing it makes your heart break.
Harry talks about his relationship with wife. He opens up about his arrogance, ignorance, and his affair[s].
âIâm not gonna sugar coat it, I was a shit husband for a long time,â Harry tells us. âThe moment we made it big, Iâd get this big head and think, âfuck im the shit!â so many women wanted me and would do anything to have me. I was weak and stupid. They all knew I was married with kids, I never hid that from my fans or obviously the women id sleep with.â Harry takes a deep breath. âYN and I would constantly argue. Sheâd cry herself to sleep at night when I didnât come home or back to our hotel room when the boys and I were on tour. I remember when she packed her bag and left me.â
Harry wipes his tears before he continues. âIt was around the last few legs of tour. Iâd been sorta seeing at least two women regularly. [for privacy reasons harry didnât mention names] She wrote me a note, stating she couldnât do this anymore. She told me I either needed to get my shit together or sheâd divorce me and get full custody. In this moment I knew, I needed to find myself again. Once tour was over, I flew to Japan, took a few friends, began the process of writing fine line, and went to therapy. I was gonna do everything in my power to get my family back together. from there, YN, me, and the kids would work on our new dynamic. I was slowly getting my family back.â Harry states.
Harry opens up about how a lot of the fans blamed YN during the time theyâd been split up.
âI wanna clear this up, YN had nothing to do with our split. A lot of people assumed sheâd been the one cheating or using me. She was always faithful and couldnât care less if I had millions or pennies. She loved me for me. Fame just got to my head,â Styles starts. âIt was my fault. Iâm the reason my family was almost broken.â
YN has been known to be vocal to people who constantly hate on her. Harry opens up about the relationship she has with his fanbase.
âI think if you canât respect your favorite artist relationship, youâre not a real fan. Truth is, YN is my wife. I almost lost her years ago, Iâm not gonna lose her over something so petty. Sheâs the mother of my children and my wife. People should respect that!â Styles states. He continues to talk about her social media comments and post.
âShe can do whatever she wants! I donât control her, nor does my team! YN has always been very open when it comes to our marriage. Sheâs not gonna sensor herself simply because others canât get the hint. Thatâs one of the many things I love about her!â Styles finished.
During our interview, Harry opens up about his next album before he leaves.
âThe next albums gonna be filled with more love than anything. I think this one will be filled with dancing, smiles, and laughter. Iâm really excited to share it with the world.â Harry states before he politely shakes our hands and walks over to his family.

PERKS OF THE JOB
Elijah hewson x fem!reader
Summary : an interview leads to a phone call⌠and maybe more ? (Iâm really bad at writing summaryâs)
warnings : none ?
MASTERLIST
âI donât think-â
âThatâs correct y/n, you donât think. I think and you interview.â
She blinked for a second as the middle aged man carried on walking ahead, looking down at her clipboard and letting her features drop as she looked back over the questions sheâd been given to ask.
âY/n ?â
The snap off her boss caused her to hurry up, trying to navigate the loose floor of the muddy festival in the heeled black knee high boots sheâd been ordered to wear by the companyâs stylist.
When she finally reached the cameras, without falling over somehow, she was created by the four musicians and her bossâs agitated expression.
âGuys, this is y/n. Sheâll be the one interviewing you today. So the interview is for YouTube but itâs going to be published on a range of our socials.â
Y/n patted down her skirt before shaking everyoneâs hands, leaving her clipboard on her chair for later on.
âWell Iâll leave you lot to get to know each other, if anyone needs me Iâll be at stage two with Alisha.â
Y/n gave a nod, allowing the older man to walk away whilst clocking the mocking face two of the camera operators where giving. She struggled to not laugh, a small smile on her face as she turned to the band.
âHiya, so as Harry said Iâm y/n, before we even turn the cameras on Iâd just like to apologise for some of these questions, I literally begged him to change them but heâs refusing and Iâd like to keep my job so if thereâs anything youâd like for me to bring up in the interview please let me know so I can say I just swapped a few over for ones you all preferred. â
Ryan gave a laugh, the other three following behind soon.
âWhat kind of questions are they if youâre apologising for them ?â
âWell letâs just say, from this sheet it looks like Iâm interviewing U2. No offence Elijah but I usually like to make sure that the questions are targeted to each band member rather than just focusing on one.â
The brunette gave a laugh, sitting down on one of the seats like heâd been directed to do by another equipment operator.
âNo offence taken.â
Y/n forced the blush off her face before sitting down as well, adjusting the pathetic excuse of s skirt that the wardrobes had gave her. Whoever designed this outfit had clearly never been to a festival.
The office buildings where dull, just like the basic black suits that all the male staff wore.
Y/n poured out the boiled water into the two mugs whilst Alisha carried on with her latest story on her latest obsession.
âWait do you think I can get Harry to pay for my Rolling Stones tickets. I mean it is for work.â
She handed the light blue mug over to the excitable girl before nodding her head,
âI mean I did with my Leeds tickets, but I was interviewing people after . Iâd still ask, worst he can say is no.â
âTrue, weâre too good at our jobs for him to even threaten to sack us girly.â
She blew a kiss before leaving to her office, the glamorous âperiwinkle blueâ suit sheâd recently bought. The other interviewer remained in the office kitchen, holding the hot cup in her hands to try and warm them up before she went back to typing up a manuscript to go alongside her last interview with an upcoming band.
When she finally worked up the willpower to go back to the typing, one of the new interns ran up to her with a mix of worry and confusion on his face.
âUrm, y/n ?â
She looked over from her laptop with a smile.
âHiya Louis, whatâs up ?â
âThereâs someone asking for you on the phone, Iâm not sure what Iâm supposed to do.â
âOh yeah, did you take their name?â
Worry spread on his face before he shook his head.
âOk, just put them through to my line.â
He gave a blink.
âLine 4?â
Another blink.
âIm avoiding this manuscript anyways, Iâll just come to the front desk Louis.â
It was almost as if he let out a held breath before she swizzled around all her half-projects and let him lead her to the phone that was being held. He left her to answer, moving the phone to the end of the desk so he could carry on with any clients waiting for the desk.
âY/n Y/l/n, how can I help?â
âHiya y/n, we just wanted to call and let you know we think you did an amazing job with that interview-â
Her eyes widened as towards the end of the sentence the strong Irish accent was pulled away and a crash echoed through the phone.
âSorry about him, we donât let him speak to the outside world for a reason. This is Eli by the way, in case you didnât know.â
A faint âthat hurtâ could be heard from the other side and her lips curled up into a small smile.
âNo itâs fine, Iâm glad you liked the interview.â
âYeah it was probably one of the best weâve been in. I just wanted to check that you hadnât been killed by your boss for changing those questions for us, but I couldnât find a contact for you anywhere.â
âOh yeah donât worry about it, he was slightly annoyed but like Alisha says, weâre too good at our jobs for him to even threaten.â
He laughed slightly, Louis giving Y/n a confused look when he noticed her twirling the end of her hair with her finger.
âGood to know,â
He paused for a second, y/n unsure if she was supposed to speak again only for him to appear a moment later,
âLook I was wondering if there was any way I could contact you in the future, you know because we loved you interviewing us.â
âAre you asking for my number Mr Hewson ?â
The other side went quiet and y/n had to force herself to not laugh when all she could hear on the line was âmate youâre so bad at this.â
âUrm yeah? But in a professional context ?â
âOf course, of course. Donât worry Iâll dm it to you on insta, itâll be easier than trying to say it and messing up a million times.â
âOh yeah, makes sense.â
âOkay, goodbye Eli.â
âUrm yeah, bye.â
âLet Robert know I said hi.â
The line cut just after she heard something being thrown.
Sometimes the job had its perks.

(You scared me) RHEA RIPLEY X JEY USO
Chapter 6
_________________________________________________
Rhea woke up in Jey's arms, close to his chest.
She looked up at him; he was asleep still.
She couldnât move, not that she wanted to.
Jey was warm.
She didnât know what time it was; it looked early.
By the little light she could see peeking through the curtains
She snuggled closer to him. It was cold.
He smelt nice; he always smelled good.
He moved a little, hugging her tightly.
You okay, he said with a sleepy voice?
Yea, itâs cold.
Your always cold, he said with a chuckle.
He moved her hair out of her face.
You alright
Yea, thank you for being here.
Always
Are you okay?
Yea, why you asked
Your brother came back yesterday. Roman came back too. I just wanted to see if you were okay.
Your always here for me. I want to be here for you.
I mean, there's not much I can do about it.
As long as they stay over there, I donât care what they do. Jimmy chose his side; thatâs on him.
You wanted him to choose you, she asked, putting her hand on his face.
I donât know; I never wanted to fight him. I thought maybe after we fought we would go back to being cool being the USOs.
But he chose his side; he chose Roman.
Over me again, his voice cracked.
Iâm sure heâll come to his senses. She rubbed his face.
I donât know about that. If he wants to help Roman, he can. I donât care. Same with Cody.
Itâs not my problem, KO; handle it.
If you want to talk more about it, you can always talk to me.
Same thing goes for you, baby.
Her heart skipped a beat when he called her baby. Her face turned bright red.
She tried to look away, but he grabbed her face.
Donât look away, your beautiful.
She blushed even harder.
Will you stop? She said it with a smile.
Never I love seeing your beautiful smile.
Youâre an idiot! hitting him on his chest playfully
He pulled her closer. Wow, im an idiot now!
Yes, youâre an idiot! She said, laughing.
There was a knock at the door.
He looked in the direction of it
Itâs properly Damian. She said looking as well.
Yeah, let me get it. He got up and walked over to the door and opened it.
She sat up in the bed, crawling to the end of it.
Hey, uce because she was right. It was Damian.
Hey, I figured you would be here.
Damian walked in the room. He shut the door behind them.
Hey, you alright, he said, hugging. Rhea
Yeah, Iâm better now, she said, looking at him.
He rubbed the back of his neck, dancing on his heels.
You guys should get your stuff together; we got to get going to St. Louis.
I forgot Raw is tomorrow, she said with a look of frustration on her face.
Donât worry, me and Damian will get all the stuff.
You just chill till itâs time to go.
Damian looked at him. Yea, weâre getting the stuff.
Iâll come get you when itâs time to go.
Alright, thank you guys. I got to look somewhat good, even if itâs just the airport.
He sucked his teeth, girl. What did I just tell you?
She pushed a piece of hair behind her ears, smiling.
He opened the door for him and Damian.
Damian kissed the top of Rhea's head before walking into the hallway.
He yeeted with a smile as he shut the door.
Is she really alright? Damian said, looking back at him.
I mean, she seems okay now; she has been laughing and shit, but last night she was a mess.
What time did you go see her?
I donât even know she calls me sometimes in the night. I didnât even bother checking the time.
I just got up and left.
Thanks for being there for her when she needed it.
Itâs nothing. I wanted to be there for her. I care about her. He looked to see how Damian reacted.
To what he had just said
I know I see the way you act around her and the way she acts around you.
Iâm happy she has someone else that cares for her as much as I do.
They stopped in front of the Damian door.
He pulled out his keycard, unlocking the door.
Jey walked to where he had left his bags last night. I can finally put on some shoes. .
I did my feet were cold was fuck last night.
He grabbed his bags. You ready to take this down to the car?
Yea, letâs go.
_________________________________________________
The door shut behind them.
She stood up, taking a second to look at herself in the mirror; her face was red, her hair a mess.
And cold god, why was it so cold in here?
She did her hair and brushed her teeth.
She couldnât believe she had been that close to Jey with morning breath.
She put on some black leggings and one of her favorite Darc Sport shirts and put on her vans. She put her hoodie in her bag in case she needed it.
She sat down on the bed waiting for the boys.
To come
She thought about late night.
She was distraught and upset about losing
But when Jey hugged her, everything
went away, she forgot about Liv and Dom.
And Bad Blood as a whole
when she was in his arms
He held her the whole night.
Reassuring her he was there and wasnât leaving
She called him at midnight, and he stayed up with her, holding her as she cried.
He came as soon as she called; he didnât even have any shoes on for godâs sake.
Thatâs how much he cares about her.
He even stayed when she told him to
And he did!
He stayed with her, petting her while she fell asleep.
Is this what it feels like to be protected?
and not the one protecting?
To have someone care about you
Not that Dom didnât care about her, but she was the one always holding him when he lost.
But now Jey was holding her, wiping her tears.
She couldnât help but smile when she thought of Jey.
This morning, make her smile even harder.
He always knew how to make her feel better.
The door opened; it was Damian. Hey, you really?
Yea, letâs go, she said, getting up and grabbing her bag.
He grabbed her suitcase, and they walked out.
He put his arm around her.
Im okay, you donât have to worry.
I canât help but worry about you.
I know, but Iâm good. Yesterday was rough.
But itâs a new day, and Iâm feeling better.
Did Jey being there make it better, he said in a teasing way.
She chuckled It was nice having him there. I literally called him in the middle of the night.
And he came as fast as he could.
He was there for me. It was nice being held.
For once
Well, Iâm happy. He makes you so happy.
I like him too; heâs good for you.
Weâre just taking things slow right now.
He gave her a look.
He was just in your bed.
She hit him on his chest.
It wasnât like that. We just slept, and he slept above the blanket. I was sad he was just being there for me.
I know I just like messing with you, he said with a smile.

louis
summary: you begged jack for a dog for years and one night jack surprised you with a dog.
it was 10:36pm and you wouldnât let jack go to sleep because he kept telling you ânoâ a word you were rarely told and hated being told.
âjack please!â âno, final answerâ âbut whyâ âbaby we cannot get a dog right nowâ âand why not?â âmamas.. my no enough reason? just because your spoiled doesnât mean your not going to hear the word no every once in a whileâ âjack if you give me a real reason drop it for nowâ âfor now?â âyes! do you want to go to sleep or not?â âfine. we cannot get a dog because of tour, mamas.. we have to travel so much the dog isnât going to like that. and im pretty sure thatâs unhealthy for animals.â
you huffed and turned around not looking at jack while jack grabbed you by your hip pulling you into him âim sorry ma its just not the right time.. soon though i promise.â
as silly as this all was, you started to cry.
you had been wanting a dog since you were 7 and was never able to get one, now you were 24 still being told no.
âdont cry mamas. come âere.â jack laid on him back pulling you on top of him. âi know how bad you want a dog but its really not the right time.â
âfine.â
you rolled off of him cuddling into your pillow not wanted to touch or look at jack.
jack knew how bad you wanted this dog so he made it his mission to get one as soon as possible.
it was the next morning and you were getting ready for your day, you were in the middle of brushing your teeth when you heard the front door opening, you assumed it was either jack or urban.
âBABY??â jack yelled out to you of course you ignored him and would answer him when you spit out the toothpaste in your mouth.
jack came running up the stairs with his hands behind his back âbaby i got you something as an im sorry gift!â jack heard the water of the sink running so he went to the bathroom and seen you rinsing out your mouth with some water. you spit the water out your mouth and turned to face jack
âwhatâ jack looked at you smiling ear to ear taking is hands behind his back pulling out a tiny brown poodle.
âH MY GOD JACKK!â you took the poodle out his hand putting him in your hands and petting him talking in the baby voice.
âaye, he not about to take my spot now!â âjackman shut up! hes so cute look at him!â âi already thought of a name for him!â âwhat?â âlouis!â âoh thank god! i thought you were going to say Louisvilleâ jack looked at you and you both bussed out laughing while you sat the puppy down while he jumped on you to go back up.
âaww! jack look he loves me!â you quickly picker him up and placed small kisses on the top of his head âalright now rap that shit up! baby hes taking my spot!â âjackman cut it out im not playing with you!â âfine.â
you took louis everywhere with you since you got him, in the car, in the bed, on the sofa, thats when jack realized his spot was really up. you were letting a dog on the sofa and bed when you wouldnât even let jack on the bed or sofa when he was sweaty.
of course the dog slept with you both two making jack extra jealous but jack grew to love louis, even letting him sit on his lap, which was a big improvement being as though jack used to dislike any animal.

hi Gina! im looking for a fic i read a while ago. i only remember it was pretty much based on the smut, but it had plot! h was a yoga teacher and louis went to one of his classes with lottie i think (? and ended up taking the class too, i remember nick also appeared at some point and lots of sexual tension between hl!
Hmmmm. I don't know if I know exactly which one you're thinking of, but I have a few where H is a yoga instructor. Maybe one of them is yours. The first one is definitely the smuttiest, but I don't recall Lottie being in it.
i try my best to unwind (nothing on my mind but you) by resurrectdead (E, 16K)
In a haze of deodorant and hairspray, he thinks he pulled himself together fairly alright given the circumstances. So what he got some like, what, a weekâs growth worth of scruff maybe, clutching his paper cup of tube-tea like itâs his lifeboat, but. He thinks itâs a good enough excuse for being 10 minutes late. He checks his phone. 15 minutes. Heâs going to be 15 minutes late to his first yoga class with some dickhead named Harry Styles. or: louis is forced to join harry's yoga class. the class is terrible but harry isn't.
I Like The Way You Bend For Me, Baby by TheCellarDoor (M, 50K)
Uni AU, in which Harry is a part-time yoga instructor with rock hard nipples and skin-tight leggings, and Louis most definitely isnât charmed.
Hold My Breath by zarah5 (M, 20K) AU. It's possible â possible â that his three-week ban from the football pitch makes Louis just a tad antsy. Surely it's not so bad that it warrants punishment in the form of his friends signing him up for a yoga class? Either way, Louis is determined to hate every second of it. He didn't count on a yoga instructor who wears flower-patterned headscarves and smiles like summer won't end.
Does anyone have other suggestions?

From 2010- Tragedy On Tour
2012
Part 22
Trigger warnings- vomiting, death
âWhere is he?â I pace back and forth in my hotel room. Alex was supposed to be here 3 hours ago. Every time I call him it goes to voicemail
âMaybe heâs stuck in traffic and his phone diedâ Liam tries to calm me down
âItâs a 20 minute drive from the airport and Iâve had a look to see if thereâs traffic on the road and there is none
âCall Emma see if sheâs heard off himâ Zayn suggests
âI have and it went to voicemail. Fuck whatâs going on?â
âMaybe the flights been delayed. That could be whyâ Louis says
âOkâ Harry stays up. He walks over to me and places his hands on my shoulders, he then moves to the sofa in my room and gets me to sit down âbreathe. Iâll go and ask Paul if heâs heard anything, if not he will find out whatâs going on ok. For now you need to stay as calm as you canâ
âOkâ I breathe out. I watch Harry leave my hotel room with his phone in his hand. Niall and Louis come and sit on either side of me
âLetâs take your mind off things for now. Letâs stick on a filmâ Zayn says walking over to the TV
âDisney?â I ask with raised eyebrows
âSureâ he gives me a smile.
An hour later and I still havenât heard anything, Harry returned with Paul whoâs been making phone calls, but nothing. Suddenly I jump to the sound of my phone ringing. I move quickly off the sofa and grab my phone, Emma is phoning me
âEm, have you heard anything?â I ask not even saying hello
âOh god YN Iâm so sorryâ Emma cries down the phone. My heart immediately drops to my stomach which starts to churn
âEm whatâs happened?â I say my voice shaking âwhy are you crying?â the boys are immediately up and by my side
âI didnât want to be the one to say this, Iâm so sorry YNâ again she cries âyour dads on his way to youâ
âEmma please tell me where Alex is your scaring meâ
âHe was on his way to the airport, but heâŚ.â she takes in a deep breath âthere was a drunk driverâ
âOh godâ tears start to form in my eyes âis he ok? what hospital is he at. Iâll pack up my shit andâŚ.â
âYN he⌠he didnât make it. Iâm sorry YN Alex was⌠they said it was immediatelyâŚ. Iâm so sorry heâs goneâ itâs like the room is shrinking in on me. My ears are ringing, my phone drops out of my hand. Emmaâs words swimming round in my head âheâs goneâ. He canât be this has to be some sick joke, or a dream⌠yes a dream that Iâll wake up from any minute. I feel a hand on my shoulder, Harry. He looks at me with worry in his eyes
âYN?â itâs like his voice is a million miles away, just barely a whisper âYN whatâs going on?â the ringing starts to fade. I can feel my breakfast rising
âIm gonna be sickâ is all I can say pushing Harry away and running to my bathroom. I throw up everything in my stomach into the toilet bowl. Tears stream down my face. Niall walks in a crouchâs down next to me while the others stand at the doorway
âYN?, tell us whatâs happenedâ
âAlex isnât comingâ I choke out
âHas he broken up with you or cheated? Because if he hasâŚ.â
âHarry, not helpingâ Liam nudges Harry. I shake my head no
âHeâs gone. He was killed in a car accidentâ
âOh godâ Niall wraps me up in his arms and the others come into the bathroom as well all sitting down. They let me sit and cry until thereâs no tears left in my body.
Niall and Zayn help me off the floor and lead me to the sofa. I lay on Harryâs lap crying while he strokes my hair. No one knows what to say so we all stay quiet, letting me greave. ďżź

Tagging @liminalmemories21, @welcometololaland, @carlos-tk, @louis-ii-reyes-strand, @im-overstimulated-and-im-sad, and anyone else who would like to share your Seven Sentence Sunday! Read on AO3
Glasses
T.K. is brushing his teeth in Carlosâ bathroom. Usually his daily oral hygiene wouldnât be a notable event, but today it feels monumental. Because itâs Carlosâ bathroom. And T.K. is brushing his teeth. Because heâs staying over. Because theyâre together. Like really together. Officially.Â
He smiles goofily at his reflection in the mirror, his mouth still full of white paste and toothbrush. Heâs happy. Really, truly, deeply happy.
He opens up Carlosâ medicine cabinet one handed as he continues brushing away and realizes that while he remembered to bring a razor he did not remember to bring shaving cream. âHey babe,â he calls around his mouthful as he turns around and pokes his head back into the bedroom, âcan I borrowââ
His eyes find Carlos on the bed and he immediately chokes on his toothpaste and has to rush back to the sink to spit it out. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand before turning and marching back through the open doorway.Â
Carlos looks at him, amusement on his face. âYou okay over there?â
âSince when do you wear glasses?â
Because he is. Carlos is sitting in his bed, shirtless, hair soft and wildly curly after his shower, a paperback in his hands, and a pair of glasses on his face. Glasses that T.K. has definitely never seen before in his life. Glasses that are kind of knocking the wind out of him.
âSince the fourth grade?â Carlos says.Â
âBut Iâve neverâŚyouâve never worn them when Iâve been here.â
âI havenât?â Carlos scrunches up his nose in thought and it makes him even more freaking adorable. âAre you sure?â
âI think I would remember my boyfriend morphing into Clark fucking Kent,â T.K. retorts.
Carlos chuckles. âI only wear them at night when my contacts start bothering me.â
âYou should wear them more often.â The words are out of T.K.âs mouth before he even realizes it. He feels wildly out of control of himself right now and who could blame him? His already incredibly fucking hot boyfriend now looks like an incredibly fucking hot librarian and it is making T.K. think some very, VERY dirty thoughts.
Carlos raises his eyebrows. âWhy?â A slow, lazy, self-satisfied smile spreads across his face. âYou think theyâre sexy?â
âGod yes.â
T.K. is across the room in two seconds flat, scrambling onto the bed and pulling Carlosâ face to his for a bruising kiss. Carlos immediately drops his book and responds in kind, mouth open and inviting as his hands grip T.K.âs hips and pull him close. âYou called me your boyfriend,â he says when they finally break apart for air.
âI did,â T.K. says, diving back in for another taste of Carlos in glasses. Itâs completely different than regular Carlos. Itâs nerdy. And hot. He loves it.
âYouâve never called me your boyfriend before,â Carlos says breathlessly, grinning so wide itâs like the sun has come out. âI like it.â
T.K. grins back at him. âMe too.â
Socks
âOh my god,â Carlos says as T.K. collapses onto his chest and presses kisses into his sweat sticky skin. âHow does it just keep getting better?â
âBecause weâre amazing,â T.K. mumbles against his pecs, his eyes already heavy with sleep. âSo. Freaking. Amazing.â
He takes a few breaths and feels his body relaxing as sleep pulls him down. He snuggles deeper into Carlosâ chest, eyes drifting shut. Heâs nearly out when he feels Carlos shift beneath him.
âWhere are you going?â he asks, tightening his hold on Carlosâ torso to keep him from moving.
âIâll be right back. I just need to put some socks on,â Carlos says, pressing a kiss to his hair.Â
T.K.âs eyes pop back open and he props himself up to look at Carlosâ face. âIâm sorry, what?â
âIâm going to put some socks on,â Carlos repeats.
Things still arenât computing in T.K.âs brain. ââŚwhy?â he finally asks slowly.
âBecause if weâre going to sleep I need to wear socks.â
He was looking for clarity, but now heâs even more confused. âI donât understand.â
âWhat is there to understand? Iâm putting socks on to go to bed,â Carlos says, looking equally as confused.
âButâŚwhy?â
âBecause otherwise I might catch a cold,â Carlos says with a laugh, gently pushing T.K. off so he can get to his feet.
T.K. blinks a couple times trying to get his bearings and then rolls over, sitting up with the sheet wrapped around his waist. âThat is not how colds work. Like not even close.â
Carlos returns and sits on the bed to pull his socks on. âI know that,â he says.
âAnd yet youâre still putting the socks on,â T.K. says.
âMy mom always made us wear socks to bed when we were kids.â
âIs she coming over?â T.K. asks incredulously.
âNo.â
âThen why are you wearing them?!â
âBecause she always made us!â
T.K. takes a breath. âLet me get this straight. You are going to get into this bed with me, fully naked, except for socks that youâre going to wear because your mom made you do it when you were seven?â
Carlos pauses. âWell when you say it like that it sounds stupid.â
âYour words, not mine.â
âI just like it okay? Iâve done it forever. I canât sleep without them,â Carlos says defensively as he slides back into bed beside T.K. âIs this some kind of a dealbreaker for you?â
âNope,â T.K. says. âJust trying to understand. If wearing socks to bed is what does it for you, then by all means wear the socks.â
âThank you,â Carlos says, giving him a peck on the lips and turning out the light before pulling T.K. close and snuggling in to go to sleep.
T.K. gets comfortable and closes his eyes, but he canât stop the thoughts running through his mind in the dark and quiet of the room. He sits up and turns the light back on. âI really need you to tell me that you understand that you canât catch a cold from not wearing socks though.â
Romance
T.K. loves being in Carlosâ condo without him. He likes it better when Carlos is around obviously. But he feels so special that Carlos has given him a key and invited him to share his space. It means he trusts T.K. enough to let him be here alone where itâs peaceful and calm, unlike his dadâs house which somehow feels crowded even though there are only two of them there most of the time.
Carlosâ place feels more like home than anywhere else has in a long time.
He takes his shoes off when he arrives and dutifully puts them away, then grabs a mineral water and a yogurt out of the fridge before collapsing onto Carlosâ couch. âOuch,â he says with a frown as something pokes into his back from behind the throw pillow.
He reaches behind him and pulls out a book. Itâs not unusual to find books around the condo, Carlos is a big reader, but the brightly colored cover on this one makes T.K. pause and raise his eyebrows. The Spanish Love Deception is the title and when he flips it over to read the back he learns that Catalina MartĂn is in desperate need of a date for her sisterâs wedding and her mortal enemy at work seems to be her only option.
Heâs rifling through the pages when the door opens and Carlos walks in. âHey,â he says, smiling as his eyes meet T.K.âs. âWhen did you get in?â
âLike fifteen minutes ago,â T.K. tells him as Carlos slips off his shoes and then comes over to press a kiss to his lips. âI found this behind the throw pillow.â
He holds up the romance novel and Carlos takes it from him. âFrancesca must have left it here,â he says, referring to his sister. âLooks like her kind of book. Iâll text her and let her know you found it it.â
T.K. doesnât think about it again for a couple of weeks until one night when his dad cancels their dinner plans and he spontaneously heads to Carlosâ instead. âHey, itâs me!â he calls as he pushes the door open.
âT.K.?â Carlos appears at the top of the stairs, one hand behind his back, looking a little frazzled. âI thought you were going to dinner with your dad.â
âHe bailed,â T.K. says, adjusting his overnight bag on his shoulder as he takes the stairs two at a time, giving Carlos a peck on his lips when he reaches him. âYou okay?â he asks, taking in the weird expression on his boyfriendâs face.
âYeah, yeah, of course,â Carlos says, even as a minor amount of panic is flickering through his eyes. âI just didnât know you were coming.â
T.K. looks him up and down. âDo you have some other guy in your bedroom?â
âWhat?! No!â Carlos says quickly.
âWere you watching porn?â
âOf course not!â Carlos says, but thereâs a deep blush rising up in his cheeks.Â
âWhatâs behind your back?â T.K. reaches for him, but Carlos steps away out of his reach.
âItâs nothing,â he says.
T.K. raises his eyebrows in amusement. âYou know you are so freaking bad at lying, right?â
âCan we just drop it?â Carlos asks, desperation creeping into his voice.
T.K. takes a step forward so that Carlos is forced to back into the wall and then reaches around him and plucks the hidden object from his fingers. Itâs another book, the cover bright blue with the title The American Roommate Experiment on the front. T.K. recognizes the name of the author as the same one from the book he found behind the couch cushions and his eyebrows rise. âOh. You were reading porn.â
âItâs not porn,â Carlos says. âItâs a book.â
âAre you telling me thereâs no sex in this book?â
âIâŚdonât know yet,â Carlos says, dropping his eyes. âI havenât gotten that far.â
Delight is spiraling through T.K. as he fully realizes whatâs going on. âThat was your book a couple weeks ago. Not your sisterâs.â He can feel his eyes start to sparkle with mischief. âYou like smutty romance novels.â
âI donât like them because theyâre smutty,â Carlos says quickly. âI like them becauseâŚI like them.â
âYou like them because youâre a big old softy romantic,â T.K. says, poking him gently in the chest. âDo you watch Hallmark Christmas movies too?â
The silence that follows tells him all he needs to know. âYou do,â T.K. says happily. He could not be more thrilled about this new discovery.
âI grew up with four sisters,â Carlos defends himself.
âPlease tell me you read Fifty Shades.â
âI would never,â Carlos scoffs. âThose books are not an accurate depiction of the BDSM community.â
âOh my god youâre adorable,â T.K. tells him.Â
âNo, Iâm, no donât call me that,â Carlos says, clearly embarrassed.
âYou are,â T.K. tells him, wrapping his arms around Carlosâ waist. âYou are the most adorable boyfriend the world has ever seen.â
âAre you going to let this go, or is this something youâre going to talk about forever?â Carlos asks.
âMmm definitely the second thing,â T.K. says as Carlos sighs with long suffering. âNow how about you take me to your bedroom and teach me some of the things youâve learned from these books?â
Scaredy Cat
Sharing new things with each other has become a complete delight for T.K. So when he finds out that Carlos has never seen a single one of the Halloween movies, he declares the need for a marathon during the month of October and immediately goes over to his dadâs to dig out his DVDâs. No way is he dealing with ads breaking up the masterpiece that is Michael Myers.Â
Heâs popped popcorn, pulled out all the throw blankets, and even gone so far as to make up a bloody looking mocktail to really get them in the spirit of the movies. Now heâs just eagerly awaiting Carlos who has gone out to fetch their pizza.
Heâs pulling down plates from the cupboard (Carlos refuses to eat pizza straight out of the box like theyâre âcollege frat brosâ) when the door opens and his boyfriend returns, pizza in hand.Â
âPerfect timing!â T.K. says, eagerly taking the box from him and handing him the gory looking cocktail in return.Â
âOh, wow,â Carlos says. âThis isâŚsomething.â
âI found a recipe online,â T.K. tells him excitedly as he dishes out pizza slices onto plates. âI thought they would be fun!â
âSo creative,â Carlos says, poking at the gummy eyeballs that T.K. ordered online and added for extra pizzazz.
âOkay,â T.K. says as they settle onto the couch, his excitement at an eleven. âSo, John Carpenter and Debra Hill wrote this in like ten days, which is crazy, and Carpenter got paid ten thousand dollars to write, direct, and score it. They built a cinematic masterpiece, the go-to film for horror, and they did it in ten days for ten thousand dollars. Can you even believe that?â
âSure canât,â Carlos says with a shake of his head.Â
âWeâre starting with the original Halloween,â T.K. tells him as he flicks on the television. â1963, Michael Myers versus a bunch of teenage girls. Weâll skip a few in the middle, Halloween: Resurrection isnât worth anybodyâs time, and while Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers does feature a young, fresh faced Paul Rudd, it has too many flaws to be worth watching.â
âSo weâre skipping two out ofâŚâ
âThirteen,â T.K. tells him.
âI guess I should have taken the month off of work,â Carlos tells him, sending him an odd, tense sort of smile.
Come to think of it, Carlosâ whole body feels a little tense too. If T.K. didnât know any better, heâd think Carlos was nervous. But he chalks it up to worry over getting pizza grease on the couch and hits play as he snuggles into his boyfriendâs side.
Theyâre still snuggled together as Michael takes a knife to his teenage sister and T.K. doesnât miss the way Carlos stiffens even further over the bloody scene. Or the way he seems to get more and more tense as the movie progresses. âYou want another drink?â T.K. asks after Michael murders the Wallaceâs dog.
Carlos shakes his head, his lips pressed together in a firm line, eyes a little wider than normal as he stares at the screen. He gasps audibly when Michael appears in Annieâs car and when T.K. looks down he finds that Carlos is gripping the edge of the couch cushions so hard that his knuckles are going white.Â
By the time Michael starts going after Laurie, Carlosâ breathing has gone rapid and T.K. carefully slips his fingers under the edge of his sleeve to find his pulse racing. Not a surprise given the contents of the movie, but Carlosâ face has gone almost white and and heâs sitting so rigidly T.K. is afraid all of his muscles are going to lock up.Â
âCarlos,â he says quietly, but Carlos doesnât respond, eyes glued to the screen, his Adamâs apple bobbing up and down as he swallows hard.
âCarlos, are you okay?â T.K. asks again, reaching for the remote.
Heâs too late. Michael appears out of nowhere and Carlos jumps to his feet with a shout, hands going to his hips as he paces a couple agitated steps back and forth.Â
T.K. finally gets his finger on the button to pause the movie. âCarlos, hey, look at me,â T.K. says, feeling legitimately concerned.
âNo Iâitâs fine. Iâm fine,â Carlos says, hand making chopping motions as if heâs trying to convince himself as much as T.K. âGo ahead, turn it back on. Iâll just um, Iâm just going toââ
âYouâre shaking like a leaf,â T.K. says.
âNo Iâmâitâs good,â Carlos says even as a car honks outside and he flinches violently.
âItâs not fine,â T.K. says. âYou hate it. Letâs watch something else.â
âWe can finishââ
âCarlos, you look like you think Michael is coming after you personally. Weâre not watching anymore,â T.K. says with a chuckle, using the remote to flip over to live TV, Bobby Flay declaring loudly that he will not be beaten at his own culinary game this time.
âThank you,â Carlos sighs, collapsing back into the couch.
âWhen were you going to tell me you hate horror movies?â T.K. asks.
âNever,â Carlos says, running a hand through his hair. âYou were so excited and I thought maybe it would be okay.â
âBut?â
âI begged my parents to let me watch It with my sisters when I was ten. I didnât sleep for like a month after that and ever sinceâŚâ he shivers, âI just donât get why people like them.â
âItâs pretty cute you know,â T.K. says with a fond smile. âMy big tough police officer being scared of horror movies.â
âCute or pathetic?â Carlos says with a roll of his eyes, finally starting to look like himself again now that itâs vegetables being chopped up instead of people.
âCute,â T.K. tells him definitively, pulling him close. âNow come here. I promise Iâll keep you safe.â
Paparazzi
The radio is blaring when T.K. walks in from his shift, so loud that for a second he thinks heâs walked into the wrong condo. A quick glance around reveals that no, this is indeed Carlosâ place, although thereâs no sign of Carlos anywhere, and it takes him another moment to realize the music is actually coming from upstairs.
He climbs the staircase, the music getting louder with each step and by the time heâs reached the top itâs changed from something in Spanish to Lady Gaga and is blasting so loudly that it feels like heâs at a live performance rather than in his boyfriendâs bedroom.
Thatâs when he finally hears the singing. Not Gaga herself, although sheâs hard to ignore. No. Someone is belting out the lyrics from behind the bathroom door, slightly out of tune, but with the most passion T.K. has ever heard.
He opens the door quietly, the sound intensifying as the spray of the shower joins the fray.Â
âIâM YOUR BIGGEST FAN, IâLL FOLLOW YOU UNTIL YOU LOVE ME! PAPA-PAPARAZZI!â Carlos bellows from behind the semi-frosted glass of the shower door.
T.K. crosses his arms and leans against the wall, a grin on his face as he watches the blurry silhouette of his naked boyfriend scrubbing away at his hair while he sings along. He makes it through the rest of the chorus and another verse before he turns around and lets out a yell. âJesus Christ!â
The water turns off immediately followed quickly by the music as T.K. laughs. Carlos opens the shower door, poking his sopping wet head out. âWhat the hell? How long have you been standing there?â he says, clearly torn between fury and embarrassment.
âLong enough,â T.K. says, handing him a towel before returning to his position against the wall, watching appreciatively as Carlos pulls it around his waist and steps out, water glistening on his skin.
âYou realize thatâs really fucking creepy, right?â Carlos asks as he double checks that his towel is secure.
âI canât believe you didnât invite me to the concert,â T.K. says fully aware that he is smirking and enjoying every second of watching Carlos squirm.
âYeah, well, thereâs a reason for that,â Carlos says, looking down at the floor, his cheeks flushed from more than the heat of his shower.
âDo you always sing in the shower?â
âNo.â But he doesnât meet T.K.âs gaze when he says it.
âYes,â T.K. says gleefully. âWhy donât you ever sing when Iâm here?â
âBecause some things are better left in private,â Carlos tells him with a glower.
âBabe, come on,â T.K. says, taking a step forward and putting his hands on Carlosâ hips just above where the towel is sitting. âI love knowing stuff like this about you. It makes me feel like youâre mine. I get to see these little parts of Carlos Reyes that other people donât.â He quirks an eyebrow. âUnless you also put on performances in the precinct showers.â
âDefinitely not,â Carlos scoffs. His hands come up to rest on T.K.âs biceps. âYou really donât think itâs weird? I know Iâm not a good singer.â
T.K. kisses the tip of his nose. âIt doesnât matter. It makes you happy. And thatâs all I care about.â
+ 1: Ticklish
Waking up with T.K. had been his dream for months, but he wasnât completely surprised when it turned out not to be a reality. It turns out T.K. doesnât wake up with anyone. In fact he barely wakes up at all. He has to be dragged out of bed and plied with coffee and a shower before heâs even remotely functional.Â
When questioned about how he can wake up and immediately go to work when the alarm bells go off at the fire station, T.K. looks at him like heâs crazy and says, âThatâs different.â
So Carlos contents himself with waking up beside T.K., pressing a kiss to whatever part of him is poking out from under the blankets, and then greeting him more officially when he finally stumbles out of bed usually an hour or two after Carlos.
Heâs just finished his workout when he hears T.K.âs alarm going off followed quickly by a muffled thud as T.K. predictably sends his phone flying to floor in his attempts to turn it off.
Carlos smiles and wipes a towel across his forehead before stowing away his weights and jogging back upstairs. T.K. is buried under the blankets, only the top of his head poking out. âMorning,â Carlos says softly, bending over to kiss his forehead.
T.K. reaches up and catches his arm, tugging him downward. âCome back to bed,â he mumbles.Â
âIâm all sweaty,â Carlos says with a laugh. âI need to go take a shower.â
âNo staaay,â T.K. groans, tugging more insistently.
Carlos rolls his eyes but he concedes, sitting down on the mattress and pulling the blanket down enough to reveal T.K.âs face. âAre you going to get up?â
âItâs our day off,â T.K. tells him, eyes still tightly shut.
âIt is.â Carlos leans closer, a fond smile on his face. âAnd if you donât get up soon it will be over.â
He pokes T.K. in the ribs good-naturedly and immediately receives a sharp backhand across the face. âOw!â he yells, rearing back and clutching his nose. âT.K. what the fuck?!â
âIâm sorry! Iâm sorry!â T.K. yelps, and Carlos can feel him scrambling to get upright in the tangle of their sheets. âOh my god! Are you okay? Let me see!â
He reaches for Carlosâ face, but Carlos pulls back. His nose feels like itâs been smashed into a thousand pieces, but he rubs at it experimentally and it seems to be intact. Another check shows no blood on his fingers, so heâs probably all right, but damn. It hurts. âWhat the hell was that for?â he asks grouchily, sending T.K. a glare.
T.K. looks sheepishly down at the sheets. âUm, well, I might be just a little bit ticklish?â
Carlos blinks at him. âNo youâre not.â
T.K.âs forehead wrinkles in confusion. âYes I am?â
âT.K. weâve been together for like four months. I would know if you were ticklish.â He knows T.K.âs body intimately. Where he can touch to make him moan, to make him gasp, to make him arch his back. If T.K. were ticklish, it would have been revealed long before now.Â
âItâs just that one spot on the left side of my ribs,â T.K. tells him. âIf your hands start to go there I just take them and move them somewhere else. Youâve never noticed?â
Huh. Carlos sits with that for a second replaying as many of their sexual encounters as he can remember. âI guessâŚI guess not. Why did you hit me though?â he asks with a frown.
âAh.â T.K. blushes. âI always move your hands because I can get a littleâŚviolent when I get tickled. Itâs kind of a panic response.â
âAnd instead of telling me this you just waited for me to discover it by accident and nearly broke my nose in the process?â
âI kind of forgot honestly. Itâs just become a habit to move your hands,â T.K. tells him.
Carlos snorts out a laugh. âOh my god.â
âOh my god what?â T.K. asks warily.
âOh my godâŚthatâs the dumbest thing Iâve ever heard,â Carlos says, full on laughing now.Â
T.K.âs face breaks into a smile and runs his tongue over his bottom lip. âIt is kind of dumb.â
Carlos leans forward and cups his chin, pulling him in for a real kiss. âYouâre cute,â he says. âYou and your ridiculous ticklish spot.â
âYouâre cute too,â T.K. says, then wrinkles his nose. âBut you kind of stink.â
âOh I do?â
âYeah you do.â
Carlos wraps his arms around T.K. while he yells in protest, holding him tightly as they fall onto the mattress together. Itâs disgustingly adorable. And Carlos wouldnât trade it for the world. Â
