“Do that again I dare you.” Javier had you pushed up against the wall of his apartment, with his hand around your throat. How you had gotten in this position was as a result of one of your regular fights you often had with him.

This time it had been over something even more petty than the last time. You honestly couldn’t remember exactly what had started it. It had been something to do with some obscure line in the paperwork you were filling out while over at his apartment late at night past embassy hours. What had been a small issue then turned into a full blown argument, snapping and yelling at each other until it reached its peak.

Javier knew that he shouldn’t have said that just by the look on his face while he had a hand around your throat. You had slapped him after a misogynistic comment, which then had him slamming you up against the wall.

“Fuck you!” You yelled, but did not move to get out of his grip. He was about to respond with probably another biting comment when you were both interrupted.

You both looked over to his front door when there was incessant knocking, which was probably only from one person. “Hey Javi! Do you or Y/N want to go out for a drink tonight?” Steve’s voice being shouted through the walls confirmed the source of the knocks. You were glad his door was closed, otherwise this would've been an awkward situation to explain to your coworker.

Javier looked back at you one last time with a hard look on his face; it was a normal occurrence for you to receive that type of look from him. You smiled despite his hand around your throat as you had gotten what you had wanted, you had succeeded in riling him up.

Steve knocked again, this time a little harsher. He didn’t look away this time, eyes narrowing in on you further, like he was trying to decide if he should release you from his clutches. Though, it wasn’t that you were completely helpless, you could force him off of you if you wanted. But, you wanted to see what he would do.

“Are you going to answer him?” You goaded, biting your lip when you finished speaking, eagerly waiting for his response. No verbal comment came from him, instead he released the hold he had on your neck. You slumped a little, not out of pain as his hold hadn’t been that tight, you had just been surprised when he released you so quickly.

“Lo siento…” Was mumbled under Javier’s breath. You wondered if he meant for you to hear it or if he said it only to ease his conscience.

Javier walked over to the door to swing it open with you in tow, luckily already recovered somewhat from his hand around your throat. Steve jumped slightly when Javier opened it forcefully, then smiling when you both responded to his question, albeit gruffly, “Yeah, sure.”

—-

Javier clenched his fist hard while you took a drink, smirking into the glass was the only indication that you knew exactly what you were doing. You had spruced yourself up a bit to go to the bar, slipping on a dress you had just bought recently and putting on a pair of high heels. As soon as you had appeared back downstairs where Steve and Javier had been waiting for you his jaw had clenched hard, just like his fist was doing right now.

You were sat at the edge of the booth you had all congregated in, Javier was right across from me and Steve was by the window absentmindedly drinking a beer. He didn’t notice how you were sat slightly to the side, inching the dress you wore higher just to see Javier’s fist clench more.

“I’m surprised you guys were actually working together without me there.” Steve scratched at his jaw. We both pretended to partially focus back on him for a moment, Javier’s fist dropped much to my disappointment.

You glanced over at him then giving him one of the biggest lies you’ve ever told, “We’ve found a way to- resolve our differences.”

Javier took an angry gulp of whiskey, somehow it was possible that he was now even more pissed off at you then before. He opened his mouth to probably say something backhanded as usual, but Steve steamrolled him unintentionally, “Well- I’m glad, the office is kinda painful to be in when y’all are having one of your arguments.”

“Well hopefully we won’t bother you anymore.” Javier finally got a word in and it was just as snippy as expected.

You then downed the rest of your drink in one gulp, a little tipsy now from the few drinks you’d had so far. A dull thud from you setting the glass down on the table was swallowed by the noises of the other customers and employees around you. You got up, fed up with getting only little responses from him, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

—-

“Javier what are you doing?” You asked incredulously when he entered the women’s restroom, but weren’t given an answer. You didn’t pull away when he pulled you close, dipping his head to suck a hickey on the underside of your jaw. You only keened into his touch, you may have hated him, but it did feel amazing. Your teasing had worked

“I told Steve I was going to the bathroom too.” Giving a quick summary before continuing his assault on your skin, “You drive me absolutely crazy.” He spitefully said into your skin in between sucking and biting your collarbone. You didn’t care enough to respond, he knew you felt the same. In a flash he pulled your dress off of your head, exposing all of you except what was covered by your bra and underwear.

When he then gripped his fingers around the fabric of your panties and ripped them off, you gasped in anger. He then ran his fingers through your folds, stopping at your clit to run small circles into it. You were still angry about the ruined panties on the floor, and the fact that with just a few touches he was proving why everyone fell at his feet after they slept with them. “I liked those!”

“You seem to like this too.” His fingers sped up their movements, alternating between hard and light pressure. Your orgasm was building embarrassingly quickly, you almost wanted to hold it back so Javier didn’t get a big head. It felt too good though, and you didn’t have a lot of time.

You were both a hair’s breadth away from getting caught, Javier’s fingers continued their movements with no thought. Steve was drunk, he might even be asleep right now. But, one wrong move and he’d hear Javier fucking you in the bathroom.

“Javier!” You shouted, not thinking about the volume, when he pulled his fingers away from you just as you were about to fall off the edge. He then brought his wet fingers to his lips, sucking off any evidence of your arousal. It was hard to be mad when he looked so hot doing that, even though your clit was throbbing now.

“Need to fuck you now- this’ll take too long if we wait for you.” You wanted to snap at him again, his comment flippant and somewhat rude. That was until he pulled his cock out of his pants, already hard just for you. Your mind switched gears after that.

“Condom?” He grunted in response to your question, then pulled one out of his wallet. You were about to ask how long it had been in there, but with the rate he fucks, you doubted it had been there for long.

Once he slipped it on he commanded, “Bend over.” You scoffed, about to retort that you’d never bend over for him. But, Javier beat you to the punch, “I won’t ask again, I’ll leave you here naked and dripping.” You shuddered at that, your arousal was too much to ignore. So, you let him have one victory, hopping off the counter to bend over.

You caught sight of your disheveled state in the mirror, your legs buckling a little because of it. You already looked completely ruined by him, and he hadn’t done much besides fingering you. Javier must have caught you staring at yourself, and him if you were being honest, wrapping his hand around your hair to push you closer to the mirror. “¿Que? You like watching yourself? You like getting fucked while Steve and everybody else could hear you?”

You tried to nod your head, but with his firm grip on your hair while he began to sink into you, all you could do was moan. Once you realized that you were most definitely being too loud you stopped yourself making any noise by biting your lip hard. When the front of Javier’s thighs hit the back of yours he leaned forward to whisper angrily in your ear, “Yeah- you do like this.”

His pace was rough, but not sloppy, quick thrusts that had your ass rippling from the force. This was going to be a quick and dirty fuck, Steve would soon come looking for us if we didn’t get our orgasms over and done with. Besides, all you were looking for was a release, being with Javier for more time than was necessary just sounded like a punishment. Despite the pace he was keeping up, he still managed to keep your head right where he wanted it, looking directly in the mirror.

Your orgasm was building up again, even faster than before since you were already sensitive. At one point when your eyes began to roll back as you got closer Javier snapped that you should keep your eyes open.

“Come on, cum.” He growled out once he noticed how close you were, “Cum while Steve is out there- wondering where we went.”

Your eyes rolled into the back of your head at that, your orgasm crashing over you. Javier reached his own peak while you were riding out your own, filling the condom, gripping your hair and hip hard as he did.

Once your highs had abated he pulled out of you with a groan, quickly tying off the condom while you were still bent over and recovering with gasped breaths.

“Hey Javier?” You asked right as he began to turn around to go, letting you put your clothes back on and clean up in peace.

“¿Sì?” He turned around to face you again, looking much more put back together than you were with your makeup still smudged. You had the remnants of the panties he had ripped off of you dangling on your finger.

You wrapped your other hand around his belt he put back on, pulling him back closer to you so you were both chest to chest. You then stuffed the scrap of torn fabric into the front pocket of his jeans until they were completely hidden.

“Now you get to sit right next to Steve while they’re in your pocket.” He gulped a little and you gave one last remark before turning back to clean up your makeup, “And, you’ve got to pay for a new pair, I liked those.”

Though he boiled your blood as you walked back to the table where he had joined Steve back at you realized you were only a hairs breadth away from not hating him.

Jaemin was happy. For the first time since he had lost you, he had been a wreck; none of his friends were able to check up on him because he simply didn't let them.

With time, he finally got used to the fact that you weren't there anymore, he finally opened up to his friends. He talked more with them; he spent more time with them.

From time to time, he had these moments where he was only connecting everything he saw to memories he had with you.

"What are you thinking of, Jaemin?"

He looked up to Mark. Jaemin only shook his head. "It's nothing. I just zoned out", he answered.

"Yeah, sure. Don't lie, Jaemin. You were thinking about her again, right?"

"Don't you dare to mention her!", Jaemin practically exploded as Donghyuck asked him about you. "I'm slowly getting over it and now you're here, mentioning her again. Do you want me to ghost you again?"

All the males shook their heads. It was a horrible time as Jaemin had been mourning all alone, not letting any of the boys help him and be there for him. They all knew how much he had loved you until the day, you had decided to leave him and then, drive around and not looking properly around you.

He would never forget how he had followed you with his car and saw how the black mini had crashed into you, both car's pieces flying around. He would never forget how he immediately stopped his car and ran out just to see you in your car, everywhere was so much blood.

He tried to pull you out of the car and as he finally did it, he looked at you. There were a few pieces of broken glass in your skin; Jaemin didn't want to know how much in pain you were.

"Jaemin."

He looked down on you as you weakly said his name.

"Shh, don't talk. Don't waste your energy. They already called the emergency. They will save you, baby, they have to."

You only shook your head.

"No. I don't want them to save me. I'm sorry for breaking your heart, Jaemin. I'm so sorry. I love you so much but I can't live with the knowledge that I hurt you. The reason why I broke up with you is that I cheated on you. For a few weeks. I'm sorry, Jaemin. please forgive me. I love you."

These were your last words before your body was only still, you didn't move at all nor breathed.

You were dead.

Jaemin let out a loud sob, he couldn't believe you would die right after you told him that you loved him.

"Y/N. Please, don't do this to me. Please", he cried out and softly shook your body. He was so helpless, he didn't know what to do. There was so much blood around him that he felt like he was going to throw up.

"Sir, you have to let her go. we have to do our job", someone told him and he looked up. He didn't realize what was going on and he only pulled you on his lap.

"I can't. I'm so sorry, I can't", he cried.

"I know, it hurts. but you have to, sir, we have to do our job", the man insisted. Finally, the man managed to get Jaemin away from you.

"Can I come with you? I... I need to say goodbye to her", his voice was shaky and his body was also shaking. The paramedic only nodded and accompanied him to the ambulance.

The whole drive to the hospital where everything was supposed to be finished up was a hell of a ride. Jaemin couldn't stop sobbing and he was sure that the driver was fed up with him at this point so he tried to keep it down as much as possible.

"Was she your girlfriend?", the man suddenly asked him, making him jolt up. Then he only nodded, wiping his tears away.

"Yeah.. we were together for around two years and she broke up with me today. She didn't say any reason so I followed her and ended up seeing that car crashing into hers", Jaemin answered.

"I'm sorry for your loss. I'm Yoonoh by the way. Friends mostly call me by my birth name Jaehyun but Yoonoh works too", the male introduced himself.

"Jaemin", he introduced himself.

"Aren't you that vocal ace from Seoul's Performing Arts University? the one who's like super famous around here and on social media?", Jaehyun chuckled.

"I'm not that famous", Jaemin laughed a little before he saw the bright lights around the hospital. Suddenly, he remembered everything again; the car crash, you admit that you broke up with him because you cheated on him, the blood around him, and you dying in his arms.

"So... here we are, I guess", Jaehyun sighed. "Do you want me to accompany you? I got some time now, I can be there with you if you want."

"No, thanks. But.. do you have your phone there? I forgot mine in my car", Jaemin then asked him and thanked the other male as he held the phone in his hands. He called Taeil at first.

"Who is this?", Taeil groaned into the microphone; he probably was already sleeping since it's past midnight already and Taeil had to work early the next day.

The second Jaemin heard his hyung's voice, he broke down into tears again.

"Hey, Jaemin. breathe in", the male on the other phone told him to and breathed in loudly, "and out."

Jaemin followed his instructions and felt calmer only a few moments later.

"Now tell me what happened."

Before he could talk, Jaehyun just took his phone again and told Jaemin that he could go to the morgue so the police could identify his girlfriend's identity.

"I'll explain what happened to her. You have to go. You're one of the few witnesses of the accident", Jaehyun had told him and Jaemin nodded.

Jaemin went inside the hospital and entered the elevator to go downstairs to the morgue. While he was waiting for someone to bring him to his now-dead girlfriend, he just sat down.

"Na Jaemin?", someone called his name. He looked up to see a man, standing in front of him.

"My name is Bang Chan. As I heard, you were the witness of the accident?" as Jaemin nodded, the man continued. "Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

Jaemin sighed softly, nodding then.

"I... fought with my girlfriend, Im y/n. She is one of the victims of the accident. She broke up with me, saying that she would never forgive herself for hurting me. I had no idea what she was talking about so I decided to follow her after she left my place. She kept on getting faster and suddenly, I only heard the crash. I stopped my car immediately and saw her between her seat and the airbag. It was very hard, but I somehow managed to pull her out of the car. I don't know who was at fault and caused the accident but this is what happened", he told the man.

Chan had been writing everything Jaemin told him down. "Thank you. could you follow me now to identify the body?", he asked Jaemin.

Jaemin got up and followed the young police officer. He was shaking as the man brought the first body and he closed his eyes, scared to see your dead body. But the body the officer showed him wasn't you. It probably was the other man who had also died because of the car accident. Jaemin shook his head.

"I don't know who this is. Never saw him", Jaemin said and breathed in deeply. He wasn't ready to see your dead body but he had to get over with it. Maybe it would help him to finally be able to realize that you're gone and that you would never be back. Never be able to cuddle him whenever he had a bad day. Never be able to kiss him when you just felt like it.

You were gone.

He finally realized that as Chan showed him the second body which was yours.

"That's her. That's my girlfriend. Y/N. I can give you the phone number of her older brother, Im Jaebeom", as the officer accepted, he pulled out his phone and told him the number.

"I'm fine. I am. I feel so much better after her death. But please, never mention her again. I can't handle that", Jaemin then said, he was much calmer than he was before and Donghyuck nodded.

"I'm sorry. I won't mention her again. Sorry for bringing up memories", Donghyuck apologized. Jaemin only shook his head and smiled.

"I'm okay."

“Woah this place looks nice!” The boy commented as he entered the empty room, carrying a large box filled with your stuffed animals. You smiled as a response and took a look at the spacious area. Being able to live here made you feel refreshed. Living in a stuffy apartment previously, you never had time to relax. Your past roommate was annoying and inconsiderate-throwing parties without your consent, inviting different men every week and not even bothering to keep the noise down, leaving her mess on the floor for you to clean up, taking some of your clothes and not telling you; you just got so fed up with her actions and surroundings. Moving out was one of the best decisions you’ve made, you found a nice place that wasn’t too far from work and school. And it was all because of the help of your boyfriend, Seungmin. The best part was that it was only a walk/bike ride away from his company. Plus, you had the dormitory all to yourself. No more rowdy roommates. “You can set those down over there.” You pointed to the wall of the room. Seungmin obediently followed and gently placed the cardboard on the floor. “Thank you so much, Min, for helping.” You said, giving him an apologetic look. He was busy with practice, but that day he canceled in order to help you move your stuff in. You tried to tell him it was alright, and that you would ask your other friends to help, but he was persistent and said it was fine. Eventually, you gave in, though you were still concerned. “Oh, it’s no biggie, Y/n. I have to help you set up this place since I’m also gonna crash in here a lot.” He flashed a cheeky grin and you reciprocated. Both of you went back outside to grab the remaining boxes that were waiting. One by one, you moved the smaller boxes that contained your props to make the dorm seem more lively. The day wore on and you were getting a bit exhausted, but you were determined to move everything in before the next day. After a few hours, the only boxes left were the large ones that contained several heavy parts. “This one will be tough.” you pouted. “Let’s just hire someone to help us carry this.” “It’s alright Y/n, I got this.” Seungmin proceeded to crack his knuckles to show he was prepared, and it earned a giggle from you. He bent down and tried to find a stable grip on the box before slowly lifting up. You were surprised the cardboard even lifted off from the ground, you couldn’t even slide it on the floor. He managed to get through the door without bumping anything and placing it on the floor with a huff. There were a few more boxes to go, and he seemed tired already. “Babe, are you having a hard time. I’ll go help” you offered, but Seungmin only shook his head, squatting once more. “No no, Y/n stay there, you might get hurt.” “This isn’t a one-man job min. I don’t want it to fall and have you injure your foot.” He chuckled breathlessly, “Hey, Don't worry about me, this is rookie stuff.” He gave you a wink and made a beeline to the living room. It was times like these where you were glad that you had the first floor, it would be even more of a pain if you lived above the first story. You tried to make yourself useful and attempted to lift one of the boxes, and you actually managed to hover it a few inches off the carpet, but your arms gave up on you. Man, you needed to hit the gym again. “What did I tell you, babe?” You saw Seungmin leaning on the entryway, raising a brow. “Well- I wanted to be helpful. I felt bad just standing there and watching. Plus those boxes are so heavy. Really, I don’t mind helping you carry these last few boxes.” He sighed and gave you a quick peck on the cheek and started the cycle again. “It’s not heavy, trust me, babe. I’m stronger than I look.” He then took the box away, leaving you pouting. - You spent the rest of the day unpacking boxes and placing the items inside to their respective places. The apartment was beginning to unfold, and you were liking the way it was turning out. The only downfall, however, was the fact that Seungmin did most of the difficult work. You only set the tiny props down while he worked on the setting up and hanging. By the time your place looked completely out together he was a sweaty mess. But his smile was always there, reassuring you hundreds of times that he was fine. You loved his determination but his stubbornness got the best of him. You called it a day and plopped on the couch with a sigh, your boyfriend soon following your actions. He rested his head on your lap and shut his eyes, but you knew he was still awake as he was humming some songs. “I appreciate everything you did today Min,” you said once more, sounding like a broken record. The boy opened his eyes and greeted your doe-like orbs. “You worked hard today, and you didn’t even have to.” you continued, your fingers making their way to play with his hair, which he gladly enjoyed. He hummed as a way of thinking, closing his eyes again. “You keep saying the same things Y/n. And I told you over and over again, I’m totally fine helping you. I wanted to anyway. Plus you deserve the break. You worked even harder to earn this money to buy the apartment in the first place. I’m just doing the physical work, which is no biggie. I’m proud of you babe.” A smile crept up your face and you thanked your boyfriend with a kiss on the nose which caused him to giggle. “But seriously, this place is really nice.” Seungmin scanned the area, nodding in satisfaction, “But it seems kinda empty. I think it could use another person crashing in here though. What do you think?” He rose an eyebrow and you rolled your eyes playfully. “Oh in your dreams Minnie.”

RFA + V+ Saeran Acting As a Guardian to Teenage! MC

A/n: Have some headcanons to soothe the pain I just caused

Under the cut since it’s a long one! MC is about 16 in this one!

Also: might include some spoilers!!!

Yoosung

Finally, he wasn’t the youngest anymore! 

He was so excited to meet you and honestly he was all sunshine and rainbows as he talked about how you were like a little sibling to him

So gushing and doting, he’s more of an older sibling than a parental figure, but he still does it so well

Always brags to his guildmates he has the best sibling ever, and he will fight (and lose horribly) to anyone who tries to say otherwise

Very concerned over you since you’re so young and caught up in the RFA’s mishaps. 

So proud of anything you do, even getting out of bed makes him cheer for you

Always cooks for you, anything you want, he’ll make for you. 

He won’t admit it until he’s at his worst- when the depression and the grief from losing Rika really gets to him- but he looks up to you. He kinda gets jealous of how young and talented you are (even if you don’t think so), and wishes to become better so you have someone actually worthwhile to look up to (in his mind). 

He doesn’t seem to think that you like him, he still assumes he’s a bit of a nuisance and someone else could be better. You however, love him a lot and value his presence in your life. You don’t think you would’ve been as motivated without his help!

Sometimes he can get a bit irresponsible and you need to drag his butt to bed so he doesn’t game so much. 

Taking care of you has been a roller coaster for both of you, but he still feels a lot better since you’re here. He has cut down on his bad habits and has slowly grown from his past issues. 

If you talk about how you’re going on a date, he’ll cry. 

“Waaaaaahhhhhh!!! How are you going on dates before I am????” 

He’s supportive though, and makes sure your date actually cares for you. Probably the only one on this list you don’t have to worry about when saying you’re seeing someone

Zen

Okay so the first moment you met him on the messenger, you flipped out. 

“ZEN??? AS IN THE ZEN???? JDSFJNAJGNLSJN OH MY GOD CAN YOU STEP ON ME?????”

Jaehee also feels you but outwardly tells you to relax

He goes full on dad mode. He immediately checks himself and everyone else, anything above a ‘g’ rating and he’s flipping out. No more flirting, no more swearing, no more smoking, he’s gotta be a father figure somehow.

Once he cools down, he finds that his paternal instincts come naturally. He is very easy to talk to and is easily your biggest supporter. He wants you to feel confident in yourself and see that he’s got your back no matter what happens, something he didn’t have growing up. 

If you say you wanna act or join theater (especially if it’s because of him) he’ll just cry. He’ll sob about how his ‘child’ is the most precious thing in the world. 

He’s a straight up PTA dad afterwards, always going to your school when he can and checking up on you. 

All the mothers and teachers try to hit on him but he ignores them because his shining little star is there

He goes to all of your shows, all of your concerts, ANYTHING that involves potentially watching you do something, he is there in a second. 

After anything, whether you give a speech or a finished a performance, he’s there with a large bouquet of flowers. He’s so proud of you and he feels so enthusiastic about you. 

His narcissism drops about 200% because now he’s focused on you. His phone is full of pictures of you and your accomplishments, and after anything he makes sure to say it in the RFA messenger. 

He’s really easy to have a heart to heart with because you’re his precious little angel and he’s just as (if not more) emotional as you. 

HOWEVER!!! DO NOT!! I REPEAT!!! DO NOT MENTION DATING!!! THIS MAN WILL GO WALK UP TO WHOEVER YOU LIKE/DATING AND WILL GO INTO A FISTFIGHT WITH THEM. 

He screams when you mention guys- ‘MEN ARE WOLVES!! THEY ARE HORRIBLE!! THEY ARE DISGUSTING DO NOT EVER DATE!! YOU ARENT ALLOWED TO DATE UNTIL IM DEAD AND YOURE 80!!’

Jumin

So, let’s cut to the chase, you REEALLy liked the fact Jumin was rich. 

“Wow, so I DON’T have to starve everyday???” 

Jumin is...not the most emotional at first. He is just getting used to having to take care of you so it will be a while before he opens up. 

Jumin is great for when you want to rant or need to blow off steam. He doesn’t say anything and just listens to you. However, it’s horrible when you want emotional/physical comfort. 

He tries, he really does, but since he grew up so detached with his emotions he immediately thinks you’re dramatic. It isn’t until Jaehee (and perhaps Zen too) step in and say how he can’t keep brushing off your feelings 

So, he decides to try even harder and understand the enigma that is a teenage mind. 

It’s difficult as shit

After a while, he begins to learn all your cues and patterns, and understands what you want when you need it. He can read you like an open book now and knows when he should give you space or step in and comfort you. 

He’s actually really good at it 

He is always pampering you to the extreme. You watch tv and muse, “cool... there’s a new video game out.” and forget moments later, he immediately walks in with over a hundred games and pre-ordered, deluxe gold editions of them. 

He is the prime example of a father figure at this point, and all your friends get jealous.

He only gives you the best and will settle for nothing less. You are practically his own child at this point and like HELL is he gonna give you anything he discerns as not worthy. 

He likes taking you out for nice strolls after you beg ask for you two to hang out. You always get excited at seeing a simple cafe or mannequin with a cute outfit, and he wonders at how nice it must be to be so innocent

Plenty of outlets had contacted him about you, but he makes sure your privacy is secure. He doesn’t want anyone taking advantage of you or getting too personal

But they do manage to capture snippets of you two walking, and some misunderstandings have occurred due to it

“Jumin Han is dating a minor!” 

“Jumin Han has child after affair with mistress!” 

He gets fed up with the rumors and explains right away that you are NOT his lover, and you are NOT his actual child. He lies and says you were the child of a good friend of his, because explaining what actually happened would be weird

He is one of the worst when you say you’re dating someone. He will hound his security guards to watch EVERYTHING you to do, and he WILL have 707 do a background check on whoever you are going out with. 

“What are they doing?” “Uhhh...they’re eating.” “What about now?” “Still eating sir.” “Are his hands visible?” “Yes sir, he’s using them to eat a burger.” “B-burger? Where are they at?!” “McDonald’s sir...” “What kind of lousy date is this, why did (Y/n) accept this, does he think he’s good enough for my child with his peasant lifestyle???” “Sir...they’re 16????” 

All in all, he’s trying to be a good father figure and guardian that he never really had growing up. But he’s so prideful at seeing how much you mature, and even though he’s blunt sometimes, he hopes you understand he loves you a lot. 

He also tries dad jokes, but they’re so weird because obviously he rehearsed it and he says it so stoically that it makes it even funnies. 

Jaehee

Jaehee is a sweet woman, and she is like your best friend and mother rolled into one. 

She is so caring and considerate of your feelings, and is your number one supporter. 

She may seem kinda stand-offish, and kind of annoyed because she’s already incredibly busy now she has to take care of someone else and-

Whoops now she’s in the PTA and runs it like a damn boss. She is all over your studies and fights the faculty if she feels the school is not running in tip top shape. 

She gets exhausted a lot, as Jumin isn’t exactly the easiest boss to work for. 

It was kind of hard at first, sometimes she wouldn’t come home until way after midnight, and she’d see your body passed out on the couch with a note on the table about how you tried to make her dinner. 

Even though it wasn’t the best, knowing you tried so hard to stay up for her as well as cooking for her made the food taste even better than anything a five star restaurant could have made. 

So she tries to make it up to you in any way she can. She’ll pick you up your favorite movie or snack on her way home, or even little cute gifts that reminded her of you. 

She writes down any information she knows about you, and makes sure to write about your friends and teachers so she can keep up with you. 

She gushes about Zen a lot, and you were a fan too, so you both would binge watch his movies and clips of him. ANY piece of media involving Zen was devoured by you two. 

You two were constantly picking each other up and giving gifts, and when it was Jaehee’s birthday, you wrote her a letter about how much she meant to you and even got Zen to sign a poster for her! 

It was also the first time you called her ‘mom’, and even though the Zen poster is proudly hung up in her office, she can’t help but smile at how you called her that. 

She is a huge advocate of following your dreams. She does complain about how awful it is to work for Jumin sometimes, so she hopes to god you do something you love. 

You also convinced her to start her own cafe! You helped her as much as you could, and she was just...so ecstatic. 

Jaehee is easy to talk to, she is always prepared with good advice and comforting words. 

Probably the second easiest to talk to about dating. She is hesitant at first because one, you’re young and stupid, and two, she just doesn’t trust people. 

707/ Saeyoung

Okay, everyone in the RFA was hesitant to allow him to take care of you. They trusted him when it came to his work, but this was an actual human being. He could hardly take care of himself, how would he even take care of you???

Surprisingly, he’s an awesome guardian

A lot of them didn’t believe it at first and they were like ‘blink twice if he isn’t feeding you’ but you shrug and insist he’s great

He’s very nurturing and protective of you, and he sort of sees this as a second chance to make up for when he couldn’t help his brother. 

He’s really good in the fact that he’ll allow you your space to grow, but he will step in if you’re out of line or in trouble

Will NOT hesitate to ruin someone’s life if they dare hurt you. He’s got connections and the prowess and like hell is someone gonna make his child cry. 

Saeyoung is still as corny and crazy as he is in the chatroom, but in these instances with you, he means it a lot. He does anything he can to make you smile, even if it means he’d get hurt. 

He is a lot calmer though with you, and his parental instincts kick in a lot more. The RFA was shocked to see him actually change some of his poor quality of life skills as a means to be a better guardian to you. 

When he needs to go on a mission, he entrusts Jumin or Vanderwood to take care of you. 

He never tells you about those dangerous missions, he only says he’s going to be at a conference out of the country. 

He always makes sure to get you a souvenir or gift when he comes back from those trips. 

Joy rides in his cars!! He loves to take you to the beach or sightseeing whenever he can. 

He stills eats poorly, but it really makes him melt when you offer him some dinner you cooked for him. He started screaming and Yoosung (who was on the other end of the phone call) felt his ears bleed. 

He gets so excited for your cooking, like he stops his work just to take a bite of your grub. 

He hacks to get movies that weren’t even released to the public yet so you both could watch it on your downtime. He’s a hardcore softie though and you still have yet to see him shut up or not sob all over you as you two watch. 

“You’re getting snot on me!!!” “I’M sorry it’s just....oh my god how could this even happen??????” 

You accidentally called him ‘dad’ one time and he lost it. He was jumping for joy and hugging you in a death grip, screaming, “IM A FATHER!!!!!” 

Oh and he will definitely not pass up the opportunity to make some Star Wars references. 

You can’t hide anything from him. He tries to not be snoopy but holy shit you did not know just how far he’d go when it came to keeping tabs on you. 

By the time he was done he knew the name of your first grade crush, an incident where you kicked your own self, and how old you were when you got your first cavity. 

Likewise, he will already know if you’re crushing/dating someone. He’ll pretend he doesn’t know, but secretly do a background check. 

OKay so this definitely happened on your first date out with your crush, you two went out for milkshakes when your phone started sounding like Saeyoung’s voice. 

“HEY YOUNG MAN BOTH HANDS ON THE TABLE NOW!!!” 

You both started SCREAMING and had to be told to shut up by the staff because what the hell, your phone was talking! 

You screamed at him later on to mind his damn business

And god help whoever you were dating if they hurt you. 

This man will go ballistic and start hacking their things like a crazy psycho

“DONT WORRY, GOD SEVEN WILL FIX THIS!!!!” 

But seriously, this man adores you to the bottom of his heart. He’s made many mistakes in the past, but you will sure as hell not be another one of them. Anything you ask of him, he’ll gladly do!

V

V is a great guardian for those who don’t like pressure or stress. He’s so soothing and relaxing.

Hardly will ever raise his voice at you, and he practically never gets angry at you

He can’t see that well, but he seems to have a sixth sense that just makes him know where you are and when you are in danger. 

He likes taking you out to more scenic ventures, maybe even get you into photography as well!!

He has so many pictures of you, you are like his favorite subject

He even made an exhibit just based on you, and after that, he got a lot of calls about who you were. He made sure they know that you are basically his child

He feels incredibly guilty you had to go through this whole mess. He really wishes nothing bad would happen and you just didn’t have to get involved, but you always encourage him and say you don’t mind, you met him because of it!

He melts and cries a bit later on

If you call him ‘dad’ he gets so happy, like he finally feels like he actually did something right for once

But occasionally he doubts himself and can get kinda stand-offish in fear of how he might hurt you later on

He doesn’t make the same mistakes this time, and he makes sure you can get the help you need. He’s not gonna allow you to hurt yourself or others, and he won’t enable negative behaviors. 

He doesn’t talk about Rika to you. That was one of the worst moments in his life, and he thinks you’ll hate him because of it. 

You don’t- and he wonders what he did to deserve you

V is not an idiot. He may be partially blind but oh honey, he WILL know if you are dating someone. Don’t ask how, he does. 

He’s chill about it, but makes sure you understand what you are getting into. He’ll sit you down and start questioning you or your date’s intentions

It’s a side effect from his past with Rika, he doesn’t want you hurt, nor does he want you to hurt someone else. 

He makes you have clear and concise boundaries

He’ll let you do as you please, just please, for everything holy in this world, let him know where you are and be back before 10. 

If you get into a bad breakup he’s there to comfort you but also calls 707 to use his special skillset

I feel like V would use a lot of dad jokes. Like he doesn’t even know where it comes from and he’ll just say one, and 707 flips out.

Overall, just a calm dude who really loves you a lot. You’re allowed to grow and be your own person, but within some boundaries. He’ll stop at nothing to keep your smile. 

Unknown/ Saeran

Okay so... he feels weird. You’re a child. A damn child. 

He gets very conflicted because he gets flashbacks of how he was taken at a young age

He starts off as incredibly scary, staring you down to make you fear for your life, but you notice right away he’s become...softer

If anything, now he feels guilty. You were nice to him, even though he did all these things to you...

Saeran becomes a guard dog to you, watching over you like a hawk. 

As thanks, sometimes you would make him sweets

He loves them a lot, they’re now his favorite things

Pretty soon, a friendship begins to form, and then a feeling of guardianship over you. 

He’s noticeably a lot nicer and softer to you, he’ll be cussing out his brother in one moment but then if you ask him for something, he’ll stop and bend down to your level and answer you. 

Saeyoung finds this incredibly hilarious and nice

Saeran feels a lot better having you around. He feels a lot safer and happier, and knowing that you are safe and happy makes him even more excited. 

He likes gardens, so he takes you to them a lot, and he even decided to start one with you

On special days, or days when you are feeling down, he’ll get you a special bouquet of flowers with different meanings to cheer you up!

Baking is also a special hobby between you two. Sweets in general are where you two bond, so occasionally you two go out and try different sweet shops, cafes, or parlors. 

You two always rank your fave desserts and places

Do not, I repeat, do NOT tell him about/mention/ or even THINK of dating. He’ll probably beat the crap out of whoever you’re dating because, ‘they are not worth it’

Very strict and will throw hands with anyone checking you out- he’s like an angry dog 

Oh dear, if your date makes you sad or upset they will be dead. Saeran will take no shit if they made you frown, and they better start praying for their safety. 

You and Saeyoung have to hold him back before he murders your date

He still has his anxious moments where his past may catch up and he’ll freak out, but you are one of the few that can easily coax him out of it. He’d never hurt you at all

If you refer to him as ‘dad’ I think he might feel his heart flutter but also feel nervous...what if he becomes like his dad? What if he hurts you or can’t protect you? 

He’ll definitely teach you self-defense but Saeyoung will step in when he tries to teach you how to use a pistol because ‘SAERAN THEY’RE 16, DO NOT DO THAT!!!!’ 

He has his days when he’s more lax about you, but also has days when he’s breathing down your neck

It’ll take him a long time to be considered a ‘good’ guardian, please be patient, and gently let him know how he should improve. 

He’s not good at dealing with your emotions. All he knows how to do is punch whatever made you feel sad, but he quickly learns he can’t do that, and takes advice from all the RFA to help you. 

You can fight me but he probably has bought some guidebooks or pamphlets to try and learn to take care of you, and he’s LOST. 

“So to comfort them, I hug them...then ask how they’re feeling? Okay, but then it says they might want space? So how do I know? IT DOESN’T EVEN SAY WHEN! WHAT THE HELL? WHAT A WASTE OF MY DAMN MONEY!” He chucks it across the room before promptly picking it up and trying to read it again

He sees a lot of shows and tries to do stereotypical ‘family’ things, but quickly realizes that neither of you are enjoying it and he breathes a sigh of relief because holy hell that made him so uncomfortable. 

You both are pretty blunt with what you feel so you’re both on the same page, and try to work it accordingly. 

Okay on occasion he’s got you outfits that are similar to his so you both can match and he loves it so much

The most awkward dad jokes. EVER. You’ll be like, ‘hey I’m hungry’, and he’ll remember that he read on a parenting website that dad jokes make your connection stronger or something, so he’ll murmur, ‘hi hungry, I’m dad’. You didn’t know whether to laugh or cry because he was in physical pain after saying that. 

You both got a lot to work on, but he tries. Really. And he’s so happy he met you, and he’ll make sure you grow up with a better childhood than he did. Nothing is too big or too small for him to do.

April.

One evening when Jungkook was ten, he and his parents were driving home from the grocery store. This was a weekly occurrence with them. One he always looked forward to because he and his dad would race each other down the aisles. This particular night, it was raining really hard. So hard that the wipers were working at a rapid pace to try and keep the windshield clear and the street visible. The sound, though a bit jarring, was repetitive enough to turn into a sort of rhythm. One that had Jungkook’s eyelids growing heavy until he slumped against the door, face pressed against his palm, and he drifted to sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, it wasn’t to the sound of rain on the metal car roof or the double time beat of the windshield wipers. It was to the beeps of monitors and quiet conversations between strangers. It was too bright. Too white. Too sterile. It took him several seconds to realize he was lying in a bed in a hospital room. And his parents weren’t in there with him.

The night they were all coming home from grocery shopping, a semi truck had run a red light and smashed into them. His dad had been killed instantly and his mom only lived for another week before dying in the hospital of complications. The crash had put Jungkook in a coma and by the time he came out of it, he didn’t have parents. He’d fallen asleep on the way home from the store and woken up in the hospital two weeks later, completely alone in the world.

For several months after the wreck, he’d withdrawn into himself, and while he barely ever spoke a word to anyone during that time, the voice in his mind screamed at the heavens, demanding to know why he had lived. Why his family had been taken. Why he couldn’t have gone with them. He’d heard a nurse say back in the hospital that the only reason he survived was because, since he’d been asleep, his body was limp, therefore absorbed most of the impact, unlike his parents who, as anyone else anticipating a collision would, tensed up. It’s why drunk drivers so often walk away from a crash when their victim doesn’t. If he would have been awake, maybe he’d be wherever his parents were too. Maybe they could be together.

He’d been in the foster system ever since then. Being moved from fake family to fake family,  temporary house to temporary house so quickly sometimes he didn’t even get the chance to memorize his address. No one wanted a preteen. Once you were past the impressionable age, you were treated more as a guest in the house rather than part of the family. No one willingly took in older kids and teenagers because they wanted to. It was always for the money. At least, that was how Jungkook saw it.

He’d learned that out of all of the kids he ever lived with, he was the expendable one. The one that didn’t need attention. Didn’t need love because he could take care of himself. Over time, he’d learned to survive. To see his fake family as a provider of the bare necessities and nothing else. He’d learned to never grow attached. To never let anyone in. To never even unpack his things because any day now, his case worker was going to knock on the door and tell him it was time to move on.

It’s hard not to latch onto the bitterness and let it fester inside you. Especially when there’s such a lack of love in your life. Jungkook shut down, made a bubble around himself of anger and hatred. He’d get into it with his fake siblings, with his fake parents. With anyone that looked at him wrong. He got into sports and started working out as a way to avoid home and clear his mind. He got bigger, more intimidating. People started leaving him alone.

Then in seventh grade, he saw a small boy get cornered by a group of guys much bigger than him. He didn’t even hesitate before getting right in the middle of it, blocking the boy with his body and staring them down until they backed off. That was the day he met Jimin. The day he figured out that his strength could in fact be put to good use. Jimin introduced him to Tae and it didn’t take long for the two to break down his walls. To show him that there were in fact people in this world that cared about him. That he could care about too.

When he met the rest of the guys, he found himself feeling angry less often. Smiling more. Laughing even. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d laughed so much. They were his escape from the real world. The ones that kept him going. That kept him sane. He wanted to protect them with everything he had. Protect Jimin from the darkness that enshrouded him at school.

*

“Out!”

“Fine!”

Jungkook slammed the front door to his house behind him and slung his backpack over his shoulder. His ears burned under the hood of his sweatshirt and hot tears glazed his eyes, threatening to spill over the moment he blinked. It seemed like more and more this was the way he’d leave. With a shouting match between he and his fake dad and then a slam of the door.

Jimin’s mom’s car idled on the curb, Jimin sitting in the passenger seat, his eyes following Jungkook as he trudged toward them.

“Morning, Jungkook,” Jimin’s mom said when Jungkook slid into the backseat.

“Morning,” he uttered and sniffed hard to keep the tears from spilling over. When his eyes were finally dry, he looked up, catching Jimin staring in the rear view mirror. The older boy’s forehead was creased, the corners of his eyes dipped low with concern. Jungkook turned his head, tearing his gaze from his friend’s and watched the houses rush by through the window. Then he felt his phone buzz in his pocket and he pulled it out.

Jimin: fake dad?

Jungkook glanced up again to see that Jimin’s eyes were still trained on him through the mirror. With a sigh, he looked back down at his screen, his fingers typing out an answer.

JK: yea. im fine tho.

Jimin: ok

It was obvious Jimin didn’t believe him but Jungkook was an impenetrable fortress that chose when to let people in and when to keep them locked out. He didn’t like talking about his home life, especially to Jimin. The boy had enough to worry about with school and Jiho and therapy. The last thing he needed was to be triggered by Jungkook and his miserable situation. Jimin had always been an empathetic soul, though. And maybe that was why Jungkook had been drawn to him from the start. Jungkook was comfortable around him. He felt understood even though Jimin knew very little. The only other person in the group he’d opened up to was Yoongi.

Yoongi.

The older boy had been like a big brother to him. Like a father. A protector. A home. His words still resonated in Jungkook’s head, bouncing around in his skull like a ricocheting bullet. I don’t want you anymore. He never thought he’d hear that from Yoongi. His fake dad had drilled it into him that he wasn’t actually wanted. That they only took in a fourteen year old with a temper because they knew he’d be easier to manage than their younger wards. And money was money. As long as they kept him fed and clothed, they would receive a check every month. He expected that from them. But not Yoongi. Never Yoongi.

He hadn’t believed he’d heard his hyung right at first. That, for some reason, his ears had interpreted what the boy had said incorrectly. That maybe his mind had been playing tricks on him. But then the words hit him like a sledgehammer to the chest, bruising his ribcage and crushing his lungs. They’d left him breathless.

You don’t want me anymore? He’d had to be sure. Yoongi couldn’t have said it. Couldn’t have meant to say something that he knew would cause so much damage to the younger boy. That would leave him feeling so broken. So worthless. You heard me. And he had. And he heard him for weeks after that. Those words. Those words that pierced him to the core. That extinguished his spirit and left him groping around in darkness.

I don’t want you anymore.

Leaving Yoongi’s house that night, he’d wandered the streets for a while, his anger and hurt slowly fading to numbness. And now he only ever felt one of the two. When he was angry he wanted to punch something or someone and when he was numb, he wanted to feel pain. Just needed to feel something.

He lashed out even more at his foster parents. At the other kids in the house. At his teachers and students at school. He got in a lot of fights. Provoked classmates and rough looking strangers on the streets. He was lucky no one ever pulled a knife or a gun on him. Though maybe he secretly hoped someone would.

*

“Why don’t you stay at my house tonight?” Jimin asked once they’d gotten to school and his mom’s car had pulled away from the curb. “Friday night’s pizza night.”

“You know I can’t turn down pizza night,” Jungkook replied, the corner of his mouth twitching up into a small smirk. Just the prospect of not having to go back to his fake family after school was enough to lighten his mood a bit. Just a bit, though. Yoongi’s words still dragged him down into the icy depths of a dark ocean, but the thought of staying at Jimin’s house at least gave him a chance to break the surface and take in a breath before being pulled back down again.

School had never really been a problem for Jungkook. He’d always stayed pretty much in the middle academically. Never getting straight A’s but never getting below a C. It kept his fake parents and the teachers off his back which was all that mattered to him. Though now with Taehyung no longer at school as he awaited his trial, Jungkook was having to rush from his classes that he didn’t share with Jimin to meet the boy, sometimes forgetting to turn in his homework or stopping by his locker to grab his books for his next class. He was starting to fall a bit behind and his grades were reflecting it.

Jiho had left them pretty much alone for a while now. Sure, Jungkook saw him in the halls and sometimes would catch him just looking at Jimin but it seemed like making Jimin miserable was no longer on his agenda. Maybe he’d finally gotten bored of tormenting him. Though Jungkook wasn’t stupid enough to let his guard down, even for a second.

*

“I’m sorry I forgot Tae’s homework,” Jimin said as he walked quickly down the hall toward his locker. He’d been bringing work to Taehyung so the boy would still be able to graduate on time. “I don’t know why I didn’t grab it before class. I guess I was just in such a rush. It was stupid.”

“It’s fine, Jiminie,” Jungkook said. He almost had to jog to keep up. The boy was so much smaller than him, how was he covering so much ground so quickly?

“I’ve just been stressed out ever since Tae got arrested and all that crap and now you’re having to work twice as hard and I just—” he stopped in front of his locker, hand hovering over the combination dial. He squeezed his eyes shut with a sigh then looked up at Jungkook. “I’m sorry I’m so weak, Jungkook-ah.”

Jungkook sucked in a breath, words of assurance at the back of his throat when he heard a locker slam a bit further down the hall. He and Jimin turned to find Jiho, by himself, coming toward them. Where were his friends?

“So the rumors are true, then,” Jiho said, his dark eyes sparkling as he leaned against the locker next to Jungkook. “Your other guard dog got sent to the pound.”

Jungkook was in Jiho’s face in a second, teeth bared. “Don’t talk about Tae like that,” he growled.

The bully’s eyes widened in fear for just a second before narrowing to slits, a devilish grin pulling his mouth upward. “Or what?” he asked quietly. “You can’t touch me. Not here anyway.”

“Wanna bet?” Jungkook asked, stepping forward again, forcing Jiho to back up against the locker.

Jiho let out a dark chuckle. “You want to hit me so bad right now, don’t you, Pitt-bull?”

He had no idea.

Jungkook could feel the muscle in his arm tightening and contracting with each clench of his fist. He wanted so badly to slam his knuckles against Jiho’s skull. Make him think twice before ever even looking Jimin’s way again. He was so sick of seeing the fear, the exhaustion, the misery in Jimin’s eyes every day when he’d come to school. Even though graduation was less than two months away, it still wasn’t close enough. Jungkook didn’t know if Jimin was going to make it. He already looked skinnier than he had even just a month ago. Much longer and he’d wither away to nothing. Disappear completely. All because of this worthless piece of trash grinning up at Jungkook. He’d been feeling so cold, so empty since Yoongi had abandoned him. But now fire built in his gut. Flames licked up his chest. Burned his throat and set his eyes ablaze. If there was one thing he knew how to do, it was protect his friends. And this worm was still threatening one of them.

He’d had enough.

“Come on, Jungkook,” Jiho uttered so only he could hear. “There aren’t any teachers around. Hit me.”

Jungkook felt a cold hand on his arm, fingers curling around his bicep. “Jungkook-ah.” Jimin’s small voice was barely audible over the sound of Jungkook’s heart crashing in his ears. “Come on. He’s not worth it.”

Jungkook turned his head to look at his friend. At his tired face. At his pallid skin. His hollowed cheeks. The boy looked like he hadn’t felt happiness in years, yet somehow he still managed to greet him every morning with a smile. How was this boy still alive?

“You’re right, Jimin,” Jungkook said and glanced back at Jiho. “He’s not worth it.” Then he turned to meet his friend’s eyes again. “But you are.”

Before Jimin could stop him, Jungkook reared back and threw his fist forward. It connected with a sickening crack against Jiho’s cheekbone, sending the boy crashing to the ground on his hands and knees. A thick stream of bloody saliva dripped from his mouth and he spit onto the linoleum floor before looking back up to meet Jungkook’s eyes. His face split in a wide, red stained grin.

“Jungkook, what did you do?” Jimin whispered from behind him.

When he turned to look at him, Jungkook’s eyes caught on someone over his shoulder. Principal Song approached with two of Jiho’s friends trailing behind him.

He’d been set up. Of course Jiho and his friends had planned this. Anything to get Jimin’s second guard dog in trouble and out of the picture.

“What on earth is going on here?” Principal Song asked, his face red with anger.

Jiho’s friends rushed forward to help the injured boy up and he stumbled a bit, playing up that he was really hurt. And he probably was. Jungkook had hit him pretty hard.

“He just hit me, Principal Song-nim,” Jiho said weakly. “Just straight up punched me in the face.”

“Don’t even pretend you didn’t provoke him, Jiho,” Jimin snapped from behind Jungkook then looked at the principal. “He was just defending me.”

“Jungkook,” Principal Song barked.

Jungkook hadn’t said a word or moved a muscle since first seeing the man coming toward him. The fire in his gut raged on, leaving his shoulders heaving and his heart pounding. His eyes drilled into the man as his fists clenched tighter. He could feel where the skin on one of his knuckles had split when it came in contact with Jiho’s face.

Jiho. He wanted to make the boy suffer as much as he’d made Jimin suffer since middle school. He wanted to make him wish he’d never said a word to Jimin. Never laid hands on him. Jungkook wanted to kill him.

“Did you hit this student?” the principal asked gesturing toward the cowering Jiho.

Finally, Jungkook pulled in a steady breath to speak. “Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because he told me to.”

Principal Song opened his mouth but nothing came out. He obviously hadn’t expected to hear that answer and now he flapped his mouth a few more times like a fish, his eyes darting back and forth between the injured boy and the one that had injured him. At last, he gathered his thoughts. “We have a strict no violence policy here. You were all made well aware of that at the beginning of the year. Did you forget?”

Jungkook clenched his jaw. “No,” he said through gritted teeth.

“So what made you do it?”

“He’s been harassing Jimin since sixth grade.” Jungkook said coldly. “Where’ve you been?”

Again, the principal was stricken speechless. It took him just a few seconds to regain his composure. “You not liking the way we do things does not justify taking matters into your own hands.” Then Principal Song turned to Jiho and his friends. “Please escort Jiho to the nurse and then all of you get to class.” He waited as they made their way down the hall and disappeared around the corner. Then he turned to Jungkook. “You know the rules, young man. You’ll need to come with me. Back to class, Jimin.”

Jungkook watched a look of horror pass over Jimin’s face as the principal took Jungkook by the shoulder and led him away. He craned his neck around, keeping his eyes locked on Jimin’s until they turned the corner. Dread filled his own stomach. If he was suspended, how would he be able to protect Jimin? He turned his head to look back at the principal.

“Principal Song-Nim, you can’t suspend me. Jimin can’t—”

“The staff will do whatever we can to keep our students safe,” the man replied sternly. “He will be fine without you.”

That was it. Jungkook ripped his shoulder out of the principal’s hand and turned to face him. The boy was eye level with the man but more muscular and he couldn’t help but feel a flash of cruel satisfaction when Principal Song took a slight step backward.

“This school has done nothing to make Jimin feel safe,” Jungkook growled. “Something is going to happen to him while I’m gone. Just watch. And when it does, I’m not going after Jiho and his lackeys. I’m coming after you.”

Principal Song’s eyes narrowed to shining black slits. “That sounded like a threat, Jeon Jungkook,” he said. “And threats will not be tolerated at this school.” Then he straightened up, standing eye to eye once again with the boy. “You’re no longer suspended.”

“Wai—”

“You’re expelled.”

Jungkook could feel the anger churning in his belly like an ocean in a hurricane. His fists clenched at his sides and his jaw became prominent as he ground his teeth together.

“Now, if you don’t want the police to get involved, I suggest getting off school grounds immediately.”

Jungkook watched out of the tops of his eyes as the man turned and strolled away and into his office. The whole inner wall was glass so Jungkook could see him go all the way across the room to sit at his oak desk. When the principal was finally seated, he looked up, locking eyes with Jungkook before reaching slowly for the phone. Obviously, he’d been serious when he said he’d call the police on Jungkook if he didn’t leave right then. What else could Jungkook do but go? He couldn’t go back to tell Jimin what happened. He couldn’t return the next week to walk him to his classes. It was over.

With a defeated sigh, his angry expression fell and his eyes slid from the principal’s down to the floor as he trudged toward the exit. What was he going to tell Jimin?

*

Jungkook waited at the bus stop across the street from the school until the students were let out at the end of the day. He couldn’t risk being caught on the property and getting the cops called on him, so when he finally saw Jimin coming out the front doors, he jumped to his feet and waited anxiously there on the other side of the crosswalk like a dog at the end of his leash. His eyes followed the boy closely, never straying as Jimin pulled his hood up over his faded orange hair. He watched him make his way across the street, his hands jammed deep into the pocket of his hoodie. Watched him glance his way before shaking his head and trudging past him down the sidewalk.

Jungkook knew he looked ridiculous trailing after the boy like a puppy but he couldn’t help it. He needed to apologize. Needed to explain. Needed Jimin to stop ignoring him. Please, just stop ignoring him.

“Jiminie, just stop for a second. Please,” Jungkook finally said, grabbing the smaller boy’s arm and spinning him around to face him.

“Why did you hit him, Jungkook?” Jimin asked. He set his jaw in a hard line, his eyes drilling into Jungkook’s and for the first time, Jungkook actually felt intimidated by his icy stare. “Well?”

With a sigh, Jungkook looked back at the school again. It was several blocks away now. Jimin had gone pretty far before Jungkook caught up to him. “I just need to tell you something…”

“Yes, please do, Jungkook,” Jimin said. “Tell me exactly what you were thinking. Tell me why you thought it would be a good idea to punch Jiho at school when you know that they’ve been cracking down on their whole no violence policy, which is a load of crap, by the way, since apparently Jiho doesn’t even need to touch me to mess with me every day. And now, you’ve gone and gotten yourself suspended so what—”

“Expelled.”

Jimin went silent.

Jungkook didn’t want to meet his eyes. He kicked at a clump of moss sticking up from between a crack in the sidewalk. Stuffed his hands in his pockets and grabbed at the lint that had collected in the seams. Rolled his tongue against his cheek. Until finally, the silence was too heavy to bear and he had to look up.

Jimin’s icy facade had melted, leaving a stricken expression on his pale face. His lips were slightly parted, his shoulders heaving and then his fingers flew up into his hair and panic filled his eyes. “Y-you what?”

Immediately, Jungkook wished he could take everything back. Wished he hadn’t let Jiho’s comment about Taehyung get to him. Wished he’d controlled the fire raging in him. Wished he’d fought the urge to hit him. Wished he hadn’t just uttered the one word that could make his friend suddenly look so scared.

Jimin’s breathing turned ragged and he raked his quivering hands down his face. “Expelled?” he cracked. “You got expelled? I won’t have you? I won’t have Tae? Jiho will…” He staggered, almost crashing into the bushes lining the sidewalk if not for Jungkook reaching out and grabbing him. The boy’s skin felt clammy, his whole body trembling. Jungkook had seen his friend have plenty of anxiety attacks but this was completely different. A panic attack worse than any he’d ever had.

“It’ll be okay, Jiminie,” Jungkook whispered as he sank down onto the curb, enveloping the boy in his arms, letting him crumble into his chest as he descended further into panic. “I’ll figure it out. You won’t be alone. It’ll be okay.” Jungkook knew he was making empty promises. He wasn’t allowed back on school property. Tae wasn’t going back to school, at the very least, until after his trial and that was only if he was found not guilty. And even then, school would be over anyway. Jimin was right. He was all alone. And it was Jungkook’s fault.

*

It had been almost eight years since he lost his parents and the memories, the details, had faded over time. But sometimes, out of nowhere, his mom or dad’s face would appear in his mind with startling detail, leaving him breathless.

This time it was a dream that they appeared to him in. More of a nightmare, really. He could see the crash happening. Hear the collision. The jarring sound of tires squealing, brakes seizing, glass and metal crumpling. He saw his mom’s terror-filled eyes and heard her scream his name. And then he woke up.

It took him a second to realize he was laying on the floor in Jimin’s room instead of sprawling across the backseat of a car. A layer of cold sweat coated his naked torso and matted his hair down to his forehead.

He heard a groan just then and watched as Jimin’s arm stirred where it lay slung over the edge of his mattress. “Jungkook-ah?”

“I’m fine,” Jungkook said sitting up and pressing his palms into his eyes. “Just had a nightmare, Jiminie. Go back to sleep.”

With another barely-awake groan, Jimin rolled over to face the wall. Jungkook peered at him from over the edge of the bed. The boy’s blankets had slipped off of him in the night and now he lay curled into a ball, his cotton pants riding up his legs to expose his boney ankles. He was so small. Too small.

Jungkook got up quietly and tugged Jimin’s blanket back in place over his body. The boy nuzzled his pillow, never opening his eyes but letting out a contented sigh. At least he seemed to be having good dreams. With a sharp breath to clear his head, Jungkook reached for his shirt and tugged it on then grabbed his hoodie and slipped from the room quietly.

The whole house was dark and silent, the place awash in cold, blue light cast by the streetlamp that filtered in through the filmy curtains covering the windows. Jimin’s house was nice. Not super nice like Jin’s, but homey, comfortable. Jungkook felt a stab of jealousy in his gut as he made his way to the entryway where his shoes were. He passed walls lined with photos of Jimin in different stages of growing up. Family photos and birthday photos and school photos. Jungkook hadn’t lived in a house where his picture adorned a wall in a long time. Having been shuffled from one place to the next so many times had made him forget what it was even like to have a place to call his. Sure, he’d been with his current caretakers for a few years now but he’d never go so far as to call those people his family or that house his home.

After pulling his shoes on, Jungkook unlocked and opened the front door quietly. It was unusually warm for a spring night but Jungkook welcomed the feeling of the wind on his face. He’d woken up with goosebumps dotting his skin and this was the comfort he needed to wash away the image of his mom’s terror-filled eyes.

He often went for walks when he needed to clear his head. So much had happened that day that this walk was necessary. Heck, the past several months had been nothing but one hit after another. From Taehyung killing his dad to getting arrested, to Yoongi suddenly flipping out on Jin and tossing Jungkook out like a piece of trash. Jungkook sucked in a sharp breath at that last thought.

He’d made it to the end of Jimin’s street, past the mini mart and out onto the main road that ran through the city. He wasn’t sure where he was headed but it didn’t really matter anyway. He could go on forever and no one would miss him. He already was nothing but a burden on the people that knew him. And he’d let down the only one that didn’t see him as such.

After hearing the same words for the past eight years of his life, that he was only as good as the money he brought in, that he needed to stop relying on others to take care of him, that he needed to grow up and be a man, it was hard to not believe it was all true. And then there was Jimin. His best friend and the boy that relied on him more than anyone else. The boy that trusted him to keep him safe and he’d failed. Failed at his one responsibility.

Jungkook cut across the street and around a corner. The school loomed in front of him, its tall, white stone clocktower raising up to pierce the sky like a blade. Jungkook sat down on the bench he’d waited for Jimin on earlier in the day and rested his head in his hands.

That dream had really shaken him. Had brought everything back. And now the hole in his chest that had finally begun to shrink with time felt gaping again. Without any warning, his chest contracted and he let out a sob. Then the tears came.

He buried his face in his arms, crumpling into a ball there on the bench as he cried. His voice echoed down the street, filling the darkness with sounds of anguish. He didn’t know how long he cried but when he finally looked up again, his lungs hurt and his eyes burned.

Jungkook leaned back, resting his head against the back of the bench so he could look up at the sky. The city lights washed out most of the stars but the brightest ones were still visible. Shining and twinkling the way stars do, completely unaware or maybe uncaring of the trivial problems of humans. Stars have much bigger things to worry about.

With a heavy sigh Jungkook got up again. The air had cooled significantly since he left Jimin’s house and now he hunched his shoulders forward and shoved his hands deep into his pockets to brace himself against the chill. He was exhausted and only now did he regret leaving the house in the first place. It was going to be a long, cold walk back.

He didn’t even see the car flying down the road toward him. The driver apparently didn’t see him either because they didn’t even attempt to slow down before plowing into him. The whole thing happened so quickly that Jungkook didn’t know it until he landed on the road on his back with a sickening crunch. The impact ripped all of the air from his lungs and he lay there for several panicking seconds as he tried to will them to expand again. When he finally was able to pull in a breath, he knew something was wrong. He couldn’t inhale right. When he tried to move his legs, they wouldn’t budge. He couldn’t feel anything. Something was definitely wrong.

His heart pounded in his chest and he could hear how ragged and shallow his breathing was. His vision blurred with every beat. The air grew thick and suddenly he felt like he was drowning. Panic washed over him like a wave and his unfocused eyes watched as the surface grew more and more distant. He was sinking further. Falling into the dark depths of the unknown.

Please, no. Please, not here. Not like this.

Jungkook could feel himself being tugged further down and he grit his teeth, struggling against current. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t fight it. He could feel his energy draining. Feel his heartbeat weakening. The sound of it slowing seemed to surround him until it was all he could hear. Until there was nothing but him, floating in this black ocean, listening to his dying pulse.

Please…not like this.

He thought of Jimin, sleeping peacefully in his bed. He thought of Tae who still constantly wore that haunted look on his face. Of Hoseok and how lifeless he’d become. Of Namjoon and how much he beat himself up over letting Tae down. Of Yoongi.

“Yoongi.”

The name left Jungkook’s lips in a cracked wheeze. His throat constricted and it took him several more seconds and too much energy to force the muscles to relax so he could breathe again.

What he wouldn’t give to see Yoongi again. He just wanted to hear his voice. Wanted to hear him assure him that everything would be okay. That he would get through this. That what happened with Jimin wasn’t his fault. Though he knew it was.

I don’t want to die alone.

A sob broke free of Jungkook’s throat and he took in another gasping breath before plunging below the surface of the dark ocean again. Memories of his life floated around him in the darkness. As if watching silent movies on a projector, his eyes roved over the familiar scenes. Of when he met Jimin, and the rest of the guys. When they had their first beach day. Of one of the many parties at Yoongi’s where Jungkook spent the whole time on the couch stuffed between Jimin and Tae while playing video games. Of the first time he went to Yoongi after his fake dad told him he was worthless. Yoongi pulling him in for a hug, his arms holding Jungkook’s broken pieces together. And finally, his eyes fell on a memory. A memory of him and his parents the night before his seventh birthday when the three of them were making cupcakes and he and his dad ended up getting into a frosting fight.

He focused on his parents’ faces. On the laugh lines creasing the corners of his mom’s eyes. On the gray flecks of scruff peppering his dad’s chin. These were the things he had forgotten over the years. The things that were so vivid and real to him now.

Suddenly the thought of dying didn’t terrify him anymore. Now, instead, Jungkook could only feel an undeniable sense of peace. He’d finally get to be with his parents. He’d finally have a family again. He was so close to the edge, he could feel it.

At last, he opened his eyes. The black sky stretched above him and through the blurry film of tears, he could still make out the stars. Now they didn’t seem like cold, uncaring orbs of light in the distance. They were much closer. So close he’d be able to reach out and brush them with his fingertips if he had the strength.

Kook-ah. What do you think you’re doing?

Jungkook blinked hard and sighed. “Yoongi-hyung?” he uttered, his words drawn out and slurred. He could feel himself fading fast.

Just hold on, Kook. Just keep fighting.

Jungkook’s heart rate plunged again, his thoughts suddenly foggy. It was getting harder to breathe. “I-I can’t…hyung.”

Do it for us, Kook. Please. Do it for Jimin.

“It’s…too…” Jungkook could feel himself drifting in and out of consciousness, “late…for Jimin.”

Bull.

A puff of air escaped his nose in a weak laugh. He couldn’t help feeling a twinge of sadness at the thought of leaving his friends behind. He felt the warmth of fresh tears spring to his eyes when he thought about the moments he’d shared with them. The parties, the jokes, the meals at the diner. He’d had nothing until he met them, and then they were his everything. He couldn’t leave without saying goodbye.

With his teeth gritted against the pain, Jungkook slid his arm along the pavement, scraping the exposed skin of his wrist across the ground as he reached for his pocket. His energy was draining fast and he knew he didn’t have much longer. By the time his fingers brushed the hem of his pocket, he was breathing hard. Just a little bit further. A choked sob fell from his lips when he realized his pocket was empty. His phone wasn’t there.

Exhausted, he let his head fall to the side, his fading vision landing on the cracked black device sitting next to him. He felt like he was going to cry with relief. His arm was too heavy to lift and for a few seconds he stared helplessly at his phone, the sound of his heartbeat slowing in his ears. But then he pulled in a breath.

“Hey Siri,” he wheezed and then waited with bated breath until at last, the screen of his phone came to life and his mouth nudged up into a weak, triumphant smile. “Call…” Who could he call? “Call Seokjin,” he finally said. As the screen changed, he waited, closing his eyes and letting the sound of the ringing fill his head. It took four agonizing rings before Jungkook heard the sound of someone answering.

“Hello?”

Jungkook’s face crumpled at the sound of the familiar voice and he couldn’t bring himself to speak.

“Hello?” Jin’s voice echoed again. “Jungkook-ah?”

Jungkook sucked in as deep of a breath as he could. “Hyung?” he cracked.

“Jungkook-ah? Do you know what time it is? Are you okay?”

Jungkook opened his mouth to respond but instead, a sob pushed its way out.

“Jungkook? What happened? What’s wrong?” The older boy’s voice rose with panic.

“I tried, hyung” he whispered letting his cheek fall to the pavement. He squeezed his eyes shut as another cry tumbled out. “I failed. I failed Jimin…”

“You what? Jungkook, where are you? What happened?”

“I failed Yoongi-hyung…”

On the other end of the line, Jungkook could hear faint rustling sounds as Jin got out of bed and started fumbling around in his room. “Just stay on the line with me. Where are you?”

Jungkook took in a wheezing breath as his surroundings began to fade. He tried to keep his eyes focused on the glowing screen of his phone where it lay close to his head. He couldn’t feel his body anymore. He couldn’t feel the cold air, or the rumbling pavement. He couldn’t hear the sirens in the distance or the fact that they were growing closer.

“Just tell the guys I love them. Tell them I’m sorry,” he whispered as the tears slipped past his eyelashes and slid down his cheek.

“Jungkook, stop,” Jin cracked. “Don’t talk like that. Just tell me where you are.”

Jungkook tried to open his mouth again, tried to draw in another breath but he was too tired. Too far gone. Instead, he closed his eyes, listening to Jin go on, his voice distorting as he yelled into the receiver. At least he wasn’t alone anymore.

[reese-eldridge]

It was uncharacteristic of the young Rancher to barge so hurriedly out the door. The letter he had received just moments before was crumbled in his hand and quickly shoved into his leather coat pocket. Taking a mount meant for the caravan, he jumped into the saddle and rode off. Somewhere along the way he only managed to give his father a look. Nothing said, just a single look of urgency.

Reese made his way into the Maiden’s Whisper, his light eyes moved about the room in a cautionary glance. The city is the last place he should be. He hadn’t recognized her at the far end of the counter where she was finishing off a plate of eggs and bacon. She washed down the last bite with a glass of water, swishing it around before swallowing.

 A gloved hand tipped his large brimmed hat to the bartender before setting it aside on the counter and the mask covering the lower half of his face was tugged down so that he could order a simple breakfast with a tall glass of orange juice.

 The woman watched him walk in from the corner of the bar, and continued to observe as he ordered his breakfast. She figured she’d let him settle before approaching. Once he was, she took a deep breath and moved around the bar, stepping close enough to be heard. “Hey, ya made it…” she said in a lighter tone, “Wasn’t sure if m’ letter made it.”

“It made it.” His answer came with a turn of his head in her direction and his hands began to work on his worn gloves. “Ya ain’t gotta reason t’ shank me so I’m here.” The gloves were set aside with his hat and he moved over for her.

 She stepped closer, nodding to his words while watching the tavern keep prepare his breakfast. “I owe ya an apology, Reese. M’ sorry I ran out on ya the way I did, it wasn’t right of me ta not give ya any word, or reason.” She admitted, looking down at the counter.

 “An apology?” He spat out with a short chuckle, “You?” He shook his head, keeping his voice low with another cursory glance around the room. “I halfway expected ya t’ ditch me.” His shoulders rolled once as he watched her attention linger on the counter.

 Becker bit the inside of her cheek, forcing a smile, “Yeah, heh, it’s my way ain’t it? I ain’t do commitment. Ya almost had me turnin’ inta a city girl. Couldn’t have that…” She said with a shake of her head. Exhaling once then finally looked over, “Ya remember our last day t’gether?”

 “A city girl?! I ain’ even a ‘city boy’!” His brows furrowed at that. “We owned one lil’ shop here an’ it marks ya fer life.” He shook his head. “Our last day? What about it?”

 She shrugged, “Felt pretty permanent ta me. I ain’t even owned nothin I couldn’t take with me.” She waved off the comment. “Dun’ matter. I was just wondering if ya recalled any of that day.”

 “I remember a little of a lot of days.” He tipped his head to the bartender as his plate was set in front of him. He pulled it and his newly poured juice closer before taking a deep drink first. “Do you remember any of it?” He countered to her.

 “Course I do. I thought about it a whole lot, wondered if I made the right decision. I ain’t an indecisive person, ya know. When I make a decision, I’m sure of it.” She said with an affirmative nod. “But when it came to ya, ya made everything… slippery. Ya made it hard ta decide. All I know was I wasn’t gonna settle. I wasn’t ready, n’ a part of me wanted ta be. I knew what was best fer us both n’ I split. I was scared. But, I think it was all in the right, it ended better than I coulda expected.”  

 Reese stifled a small chuckle with a fork full of food and then another before washing it down with a gulp of juice. “Ain’ mean to make yer life difficult. Ain’ never wanted ya t’ settle either. I ain’ one t’ settle for. My family got our hands in more than I ever told ya an’ it ain’t yer deal. Too messy. Too unpredictable. And I knew ya wouldn’t be stickin’ around anyway. Ya always made some snarky comments ‘bout me, ‘bout our ‘relationship’. So it came as only a little shock when ya were gone and ain’ come back.”

 Becker watched him as he ate and talked. She even responded to his words with a nod. “Well m’glad I didn’t leave too much of a mark on ya then. Ya been well since?”

 He didn’t bother to remark on her comment and simply answered with an ‘Mmhm’ as he took another bite. He combed fingers through his thick hair pulling out a few sprigs of leaves in the process. He set them on the counter beside his gloves and hat. After all, he may have been the rough sort but he wasn’t disrespectful. “Other than us bein’ run out of th’ city by the Ascolonian nobles, yea. Lost our shop, for now. Ain’ a big loss, though. We got plenty others. An’ other business elsewhere.”

 Her brow arched, “Run out ya say? That ain’ no surprise, this city’s fulla assholes who think they’re better than the rest. Specially people like we are. Dun’ understand it? Get rid of it… that’s how they think…” She shook her head.

 “They ain’ like our affiliations with th’ Charr and we got largely boycotted. Ain’ nothin’ about not understandin’ us. They understood us well enough. Just not entirely. We don’ just cater to custom arms like they thought. Thanks t’ the wars, we got our military end still thrivin’. Our caravans still runnin and carryin’ arms where they need t’ be.” His shoulders rolled in another shrug. “Neither here nor there for ya. But that’s what it is.”

 “Yea, that’s the right of it to be sure,“ she agreed, “Well, it’s good ta know ya got somethin’ good happenin. War ain’t good for most, but yer line o’ business it is.”

 Reese waved it off, looking down at her side as he shoveled in another bite. “Where’s yer other half?”

 Becker glanced down, following his attention to her empty side. “Welp, Gypsy ran off with a pack up in Timberfalls, she’s gotta family of ‘er own. It happened while I was away, n’ I left her be. I visit her from time to time. Recently I been raisin’ Wyverns… n’ I jus’ got m’self a griffon egg last night. I always wondered what happened ta Nomad.. ya was good with him. Didn’t have the heart ta take him with me… I didn’t know where or what I was gonna do at the time, didn’t know if I could keep um in my circumstance.”

 “I sold ‘em.” He commented as he turned back to his plate, taking another bite. His light eyes shifted her way after. When she looked over, her eyes widened at his comment. “ya sold ‘im? Ta who? Ya didn’t wanna keepum?”

 “What for? He was yers and ya bailed.” His brow perked as he watched her.

 She looked away, frowning. “Kinna thought he was both ours.”

“Can’t be both ours if’n one of us ain’ wanna be there no more.” Reese countered.

 Becker looked back to him and her jaw clenched, “I was happy there yanno, till we fucked it up.”  That was when he took a piece of well cooked bacon and bit into it. “We?” he asked as he chewed. She gave him a firm nod, “Yeah -we-. I got pregnant, Reese.”

 He was in the midst of picking up his glass when he paused at her declaration. He looked her dead in the face, “You got pregnant and thought that was th’ best time t’ leave? And not tell me? What happened?”

 She raked her hand through her hair, exhaling a deep breath. She turned away and watched the tender work. “I got scared I told ya. I didn’t know what else ta do. I didn’t wanna tell ya cause I knew ye’d wanna keep it and raise it, and I ain’t the motherin’ kind. I ain’t got no business…” she frowned and looked away, obviously pained.

 “Yer damn right I’d wanna keep it! That’s blood, Quinn.” His jaw tensed and his rough hand pulled down his face. “If’n you ain’ want no part of it that’s on you. I coulda taken it and you coulda been on yer merry way.” He didn’t look away, still staring hard at her. “What did you do?” His words were enunciated with his rising anger.

 Becker looked back at him, listening and taking in his words, her eyes brimming. She blinked and then swallowed. “I gave him ta a family in Beetletun.” Her arms crossed tight around her midsection and she went on, “He’s a handsome boy, got yer eyes, got alla ya, none of me. Yer eyes… he got yer exact eyes.”

 “Him? I have a son?” His face fell and if there ever was rage to be seen on this man, it was now. “You gave -my- son away?”

 She looked away, her pained expression changing to guilt. “They took me in, gave me a place ta stay until he came…. They couldn’t have no babies of their own. They cleared m’ name in exchange. I didn’t want him growin’ up like me. They’re good ta him… I make sure of it.”

 “And not once did ya think that maybe I wanted him? Not once did ya think I had a right t’ him?” His jaw clenched and his words were clearly articulated. “You bartered our son for a clear name?!”

 “Naw, I didn’t barter him they did it outta kindness. Cause I gave um the one thing the couldn’t never have. They love um, like I never saw in m’ life…” She exhaled, “Yea I knew ye’d want him. I wasn’t even gonna have him. I wanted ta off myself, they stopped me. I got arrested n’ taken in, told um I was carryin’ and the Lieutenant took me home, I didn’t know what for. He fed me dinner, talked me down, told me that he and his wife would give me room n’ board, even money if I had the baby n’ let um keep it. I told um I didn’t want their money, I just wanted peace, n’ ta stop livin’ on the run from the law, so he told me he’d clear m’ name after the babe was born and I could start anew, so I did.”

 “You bartered him. No matter how ya spin it t’ make yerself feel good. Ya bartered him t’ clear your ass.” Reese’s face was now a seething red. “I’m getting’ him back. And whatever befalls that family is on yer conscience. That boy is an Eldridge an’ I have a right t’ my son.”

 Becker stared at him, her eyes wide and damp. “The hell ya gonna do? Walk in there and take him? He’s a Lieutenant in the Seraph Guard. Maybe ya kin’ explain who ya are, but yer gonna have a fight.” Reese scoffed at her warning and her suggestion was ignored. There was no way he was going to compromise with this couple. This was his son. A son he wasn’t given the opportunity to see come into the world or grow up. He missed seeing him make a mess of his food, take his first step, and possibly his first word. She robbed him of everything. She knew what family meant to him and she spat on it for the sake of her freedom. There was nothing she could say that would justify what she did. He was livid and seeing red. “Don’t you worry ‘bout what I plan t’ do. An’ don’t think ‘bout warnin’ ‘em. I gotta big family and we can handle more than a Seraph. What he did was against th’ law, anyway. And me and mines will be ready for a fight. We hunt monsters all through Tyria. A man in th’ Seraph ain’ shit.”

 Squeezing her eyes closed, she wiped at them with both hands. “Yer right, all of it. What I did was wrong, I ain’t arguing that. I did what I thought was best for him, but ya got a right ta do what ya feel is best, too. So, ya do that. I ain’t on anyone’s side but Mason’s. I want him ta be safe.”

 Mason. His son’s name was Mason.

 Every movement of his was angered; seething. His jaw was clenched and he made sure she was aware of it. Never had he been an angry person and never had he shown an inkling of it around her. Until now. ”What you did, Quinn, is UNFORGIVABLE.” He swallowed hard. “How old is he?”

 Again, she swallowed while taking the brunt of his words, accepting them. “He just turned three.” She wiped at the corners of her eyes again, “He won’t remember um, if ya take him now. Won’t even be effected by it all….” She blinked hard, looking away. “I look after him from afar. I’m guessin’ ya ain’t gonna let me do that no more.”

 “I ought t’ shoot you” His words held no remorse. “Three years old. THREE YEARS!” He sucked in a deep breath while his eyes welled up, going bloodshot in agony and rage. He had no care for how distraught or upset she looked. He didn’t believe it. “You wanna see him when ya gave him up in the first place? Ya want me t’ do YOU favors when ya took my son away?!” His head shook slow from side to side. “If’n ya ever meant anythin’ t’ me, yer a stranger now. I feel nothin’ but hatred for you. Ya better hope I find my kid.”

 Becker glared at him. “Ya didn’t look for me neither, Reese! I left, but ya haven’t given a shit ta know where I went for three years. Ya coulda known earlier at yer own accord.” She sniffed. “I wasn’t hidin’ nothin’ from ya and ya still wouldn’t know unless I came here t’day ta tell ya. Sonnovabitch. I did him good, he might be yer son but he was in my body!” She pointed to her stomach, “So I did what I thought was right by him, and he’s happy now. I made him happy. I hope ya kin say the same!” She shouted back at him.

 “Don’t give me that. You don’t know that I didn’t look for ya, cause I did. I even slummed at the damn Sun where we met. I looked around every damn bush, while on every damn caravan. Don’t think ya know me so well that you ain’ mean a damn thing. I loved you. I wanted ya back. But after a while, after years of remembering all the things ya liked t’ drill in m’ damn head, I gave up. Ya didn’t want me, and evidently ya ain’t want what we made in our brief happiness. That’s on you. Not me.” He sucked in a deep breath. “Can’t find someone that ain’ wanna be found.”

 Clenching her teeth, she fought the full blown raw emotion tearing at her from the inside, spilling from her eyes. “I’m sorry, I know that dun matter but I’m so fuckin’ sorry, n’ I hate myself fer what I did ta us, ta ya, ta everything. I thought maybe comin’ ta tell ya after he was born, maybe we could kidnap him n’ start over…. But I didn’t know how ye’d take it. Then I saw he had good people who loved him, and I felt wrong takin’ him from um. And I knew ye’d hate me fer my choices…. I fucked everythin’ up, like I always do, but I want ya ta know, I did love ya, n’ I wish I coulda been a good momma ta him and raised him with ya.”

 “That ain’t love. Love ain’ takin’ away a babe cause yer scared. Love is knowin’ that they got yer back even if ya’ll ain’ work out. Ya KNOW how we are with family. My mum is in a wheelchair and we all take care o’ her- From sons and daughters to cousins and Uncles. Family is family. We even got adopteds in our brood. Yea, ya fucked up. Royally. I can’t say what I will do after I get him, where yer concerned. Ain’ makin’ no promises.” He snatches up his gloves and shoved them in his thick coat pocket.

 She nodded, getting her emotions reigned. “Y’ got a right ta how ya feel. Imma stand aside, I already done enough ta fuck things up. I ain’t gotta tell ya ta take care of him, I know ya will. All I ask is ya keep him safe. N’ I named him Mason. Ya kin do what ya want, but Mason Eldridge ain’t bad.” She cleared her throat and looked down, releasing a heavy sigh. “I’ll hope fer the best, expect the worst when it comes ta me. I know I deserve it. Ya take care, n’ keep him safe. Raise him right.”

 “I’ll raise him and any help I need won’t be from you. It will be from mine. He might keep th’ name if’n I decide not t’ erase ya entirely from his life. And mine.” He snatched up His large brimmed hat and rolled it in a way that it wouldn’t lose its shape. “You ain’ who I thought ya were, Quinn. Ya bartered my son. OUR SON. To SERAPH! Ain’ Seraph who killed yer beloved wolf before Gypsy?? And that’s th’ crowd yer leavin’ our son to?!” He didn’t bother to wipe his eyes. He was justified in his display of emotion. “And just so ya know, I was teasin’ about Nomad. He’s havin’ a blast on my Ranch.”

 Becker watches him, blinking and keeping her jaw clenched. There was nothing more to say to what he said, she just shook her head, swiped her sleeve over her reddened face to wipe away the tears. “I’m a real piece of shit. That’s why I ain’t in neither of yer lives. I know what I am. I ain’t denying any of it. Consider yerself lucky I left when I did. I won’t bother ya no more, Reese.” With that she turned away, walking out the door, feeling like the worst person ever.

 Reese slammed some coin on the counter, leaving a half full plate of cold food. He gave her time to disappear before he eventually made his way back out of the city and to the Ranch. Pops was waiting.

Fandom: Overwatch Character: Junkrat Relationship: Junkrat/reader Request: Im soo happy you can write for Overwatch!!! Could you please write a oneshot for Junkrat where hes injured and when the readers worried about him, he tries to make the reader laugh again and it turns into a confession? Thank you It was late when you finally gave up on the little thing you had been tinkering with. Signing with frustration, you threw it across the room, bouncing it off the opposite wall and it fell to the ground. “Whats up, Sheila?” A voice from the door way and you heard the uneven footsteps of Junkrat as he entered the room. “I just know how to-“ You trailed off and looked over your shoulder to see a rather dishevelled looking Junkrat. He was leaning to the right side and was covered in dirt, soot, bruises and blood. “What happened?” You jumped from your seat and ran over to him, your eyes scanning his body for any sign of permanent or dangerous injury’s. “Aint nothing. Just a bit of a scrap, ‘s all.” He shrugged, his lips pulled up into his permanent grin. “No need to worry ‘bout me.” He giggled. You had known Junkrat the majority of your adult life, given the two of you had paired up after you had both tried to rob a bank on the same night and, after things went wrong, had had to work together to get away. You had been there when Roadhog has joined you and Junkrat. The three of you made a rather good team. The added muscle of Roadhog made it easier to drag Junkrat away from fights or explosives while you were a voice of reason in the group and the brains. IN fact, you were the one who designed and, with the assistance of Roadhog and input from Junkrat, created his mechanical arm and leg. You grabbed Junkrat by his mechanical hand and dragged him to where you had been sitting, you pushed him into the chair as you fetched the med kit that you kept in the ‘work’ room after Junkrat continued to injure himself in this room when he tinkered with bombs and you got fed up of running to the kitchen for the kit. “Aint nothing wrong!” Junkrat protested when he caught on to what you were doing. But when he saw you weren’t going to let him leave without you looking him over, he slouched in the chair, lazily swirling around in it. You liked the chair, it was one of those office chairs with wheels. You couldn’t count how many times Junkrat had wanted to spend time with you and so had grabbed the back of the chair and pulled you into another room. You couldn’t understand how he had managed to get into such a bad state. The three of you had been out in a pub but you had left about 2 hours ago. But you ignored in, pulling the kit back and placing it on the table, opening it to pull out some antiseptic wipes. You then kneeled in front of him and took his human hand in your own, starting with his battered knuckles. Despite his verbal protest, he made no effort of move away from you and allowed you to work across his body, cleaning the cuts and making sure he was okay. Occasionally, he would giggle and laugh to himself, but then he would fall back into a comfortable silence. you finished, noting to yourself to check him over again in the morning in case you had missed anything due to your tiredness. Your eyes then fell on an open cut on his cheek you had missed. You got to your feet so you were able to reach it easier and started to dab the cut. “You have to be more careful.” You spoke in a soothing voice, trying not to sound like you were scolding him. You saw his face break into another smile, an eyebrow raised at you. “You know I don’t like to see you hurt like this. Plus, I’ll need to check over your arm and leg to make sure theres no damage.” He let out a loud laugh that you had learned to associate with when he had an idea. Then, his mechanical arm wrapped around your waist and pulled you down onto his lap. “Junkrat!” You couldn’t help but giggle as he used his mechanical leg to kick the chair around in a circle. “Oh no! IVe lost control of them!” He cried out in an obviously fake voice of fear. You had to wrap your arms around his neck to keep yourself steady even though his arm was securely around your waist. “Get your grubby mits off her!” He cried out, using his human hand to grab the mechanical one and try to pry it from your side. He made grunts and he wrestled with himself. “Its trying to take you, [y/n]!” You were laughing so hard that tears started to flow down your cheeks. No one could make you laugh this hard, and it was something Junkrat prided himself on. “I wont let you take the one thing I love away from me!” He said, almost too fast for you to full catch it, but you did. You saw the brief moment that Junkrat had realised what he had said, his gaze falling on you, the battle forgotten and the chair coming to a halt. In that moment that you looked at him, you knew you loved him. Whether this was a joke that had went too far or a genuine confession, you didn’t care. You had always loved him. “Well, if these are our last moment together…” You trailed off as you leaned down and pressed your lips to his own. Your hands rested on his shoulders, feeling the muscles there tense before he let out a small moan and kissed you back. Both his arms had wrapped around your waist and held you securely against his chest. You felt him shiver under your touch as he quickly started to dominate the kiss, growling into the kiss. You smiled against his lips, loving how you could feel his reaction. You pulled back slightly, feeling him leaning forward, obviously not wanting to break the contact which made you giggle. “They seemed to have settled.” You said, looking down at the mechanical arm. “I think this is the only way to stop them! You gotta keep kissing me.” Junkrat spoke with a grin plastered on his face as he pulled you closer. “Oh well, if it’s the only way.” You shrugged, moving down to kiss him again. This time, the kiss was more relaxed, more comfortable. You quickly realised that Junkrat would be a loud lover, because he let out soft groans, moans and noises against your lips. But you didn’t mind. You couldn’t help yourself as you let out your own soft moan. Junkrat stiffened before pulling away. You were about to ask if everything was okay when he stood up, lifting you up. You let out a gasp, surprised by his actions. “Gotta keep you with me from now on.” Junkrat chuckled as he walked towards your own bedroom. “Well, if it keeps the world safe.” You giggled, pressing soft kisses to his neck, being careful around any cuts or bruises. You knew there was little to no point in scolding him for carrying you. Once inside, he lowered you to the floor. You kept your arms around his neck as he kept his around your waist. It was his turn to initiate the kiss and he was all too happy to oblige. He twisted you around and pressed you up against the door, kissing you with a wild passionate that made your head spin. You allowed your fingers to venture into his wild hair, expecting pain from the soft flame at the end of some of his hairs, but the small amount of pain was welcomed. Junkrat, groaned against your lips and if your eyes had been open, you would have seen his own eyes roll into the back of his head. There was a sort of danger you felt from kissing him, one that set every fibre in your body on edge but, at the same time, filling you with pleasure. You wanted nothing more than to stay like this forever. “Stay with me tonight?” You breathed against his lips, panting slightly as he pulled about an inch away. “I aint going anywhere, Sheila.” Junkrat laughed, pulling you away from the door and further into the room. That night, you couldn’t think of one moment where his touch had left yours. It was like you two were always connected at some point, whether it was lips, mouths on skin, hand, finger and other things. And even when you drifted off to sleep, it was in his arms.

PREVIOUS CHAPTER

~Reader’s POV~

“Aww, they’re so cute, aren’t they?”

The light assaulted my eyelids and I groaned and turned away from it as much as I could, which just elicited a pained grunt from the person beside me. And just like that, everything came hurtling back to me.

“Oh my God, Dean. I’m sorry!” I tried to open my eyes so I could carefully extract myself from this coffin without hurting him more, but let’s be honest here, at the moment I was positive that the attack of light on my optical nerves was just as painful as his gunshot wound. We’d been in the dark for… who knows how long. We’d both fallen asleep a few hours after we passed through the checkpoint without any problems. It could be years later. Centuries, even.

“Stop. Moving,” he managed to grunt out, and I quickly complied.

A low chuckle from the foot of the bed came and I felt someone’s hand on my arm. “Here, Y/N. Hold onto me. I’ll lift you out.”

“Sam?”

“It’s me. C’mon.”

Sometime in the process of getting Dean and me out of the hidey-hole, I managed to open my eyes and keep them open. As soon as we were out, Garth lowered the bed and Dean flopped down onto it so that they could check his bandages.

Sam glanced over his shoulder at me. “I thought I told you to keep him awake.”

“Yeah, well, I finished writing my letter of resignation in my head so…” I shrugged and turned around to fish around the kitchen for some food. I was desperate to know what the next step for me was, but I also couldn’t ignore my stomach. Since they kidnapped me and didn’t give me any time to pack snacks, I figured they owed me.

“I’m not gonna accept it,” Dean grunted.

“I won’t accept you not accepting it. I already have a plan for my first week of unemployment and it involves an entire liquor store to forget all about whatever the hell is happening now. I’m looking forward to that.”

My sleuthing turned up some carrots in the fridge and a bag of Doritos in a cabinet. Good enough. Once I had my treasures, I headed back to the group and sat on the edge of the bed next to Dean’s head.

“Open up.” I dangled a chip over his mouth and fed it to him while Sam finished bandaging him up. As he chewed on that, I shoved a few into my mouth, completely disregarding social constructs about manners and being lady-like. “So, what am I doing next? Being shoved into a shipping container? Chained in a basement?”

“Sticking with us and staying quiet,” Sam said.

Dean coughed, apparently knowing exactly how I would react to that. Before I could say anything, though, he rushed in to soften his brother’s explanation. “We have to turn over the tech I got and it would be best if you let us do the talking.”

“They aren’t gonna like her being there,” Garth pointed out.

“Well, I’m not letting her out of my sight.”

“Maybe she would be better off with Garth,” Sam said softly. “Just while you’re handing it over.”

“Maybe you should shut your mouth. Look, I’m the one that dragged her into this, so it’s my job to make sure she stays safe.”

A bunch of guys arguing over me like I wasn’t even in the room. Of course. “Well, I guess it wouldn’t be a real secret mission moment until I say this, but guys. I’m right here. Stop talking about me like I’m not.”

All three men looked at me like I had magically appeared in the room and I nearly rolled my eyes. Okay, I might have actually rolled my eyes.

“What do you think we should do with you, Y/N?” Sam asked.

Okay. Not really the outcome I was expecting or even wanting. I had no idea how to answer that. Honesty is the best policy though, right?

“I have no idea how to answer that. I don’t know what’s going on or what the impact would be either way. I don’t know what kind of danger I’m in. But… but I trust Dean. I know him best and, no offense to either of you, but I think I would rather stick around with him rather than someone I just met.”

Dean smiled widely and slung his arm around my shoulder. “It’s decided then! Sammy, pull the car around and we can get on the road. But before we stop at Bobby’s I really need a burger.”

“Dude, it’s ten a.m.”

“So?”

Everyone started moving and, true to my word, I stuck by Dean’s side the entire time.

I was entirely out of my element, which was weird. As a PA, it was my job to be a social chameleon. I was the person who was Dean’s date to black tie events when it would be bad press for him to take someone else. I was the person who ran to the store in the middle of the night in my sweats for medicine when Dean called to tell me he was sick. I was the person who yelled at clients then turned around and released a press statement about Dean’s charitable contributions to society. I could do it all.

But right now? I had no idea what I was supposed to be.

*****

~Dean’s POV~

“You doing okay back there?” Sam called back to Y/N, who was just waking up from a three-hour nap in the backseat.

“What year is it?” she asked groggily, making me chuckle. Good to know that she still had a sense of humor in this situation. In fact, she was handling everything much better than I had expected.

“We’re almost to Bobby’s. Half an hour.”

“Bobby is…”

Sam glanced at me as we contemplated that answer. Our team dynamic was odd, to say the least. We were a small team spread out across the nation, but somehow, we were still tightly knit, like a family.

“He’s kind of like the dad of our team.” I managed to sum him up.

I twisted in my seat, laying my arm across the back of it so I could face Y/N better. Apparently my gunshot wound meant that Sam didn’t trust me to drive. Whatever. On the bright side, this meant that I was able to get a better read on Y/N’s state of mind.

“Who else is there?” She was sitting up by now, but the blanket was still clutched tightly in her fingers. Maybe she wasn’t handling this as well as I had assumed.

“Me, Sam, Bobby, Benny—“

“Dean,” Sam warned.

But I shook my head. There was so much that Y/N didn’t know, and I knew that she needed something to hold on to. She needed to feel like she had a little control of her life, otherwise she would spiral. “She’s gonna meet everyone in half an hour anyway. So, Benny. He helped Sam clean up your place and cover our tracks. He’s one of those southern guys who seems to flirt with anything that breathes—“

“So, a southern version of you?”

Sam snorted, and didn’t bother covering it up when I glared at him. “Oh, just wait until we get both of them in the same room. They can’t help but flirt with each other. They have a total bromance.”

There was a small smile on Y/N’s lips at Sam’s ribbing, so I let it slide. “Okay. Benny the Bromancer. Who’s next?”

“Kevin. He’s young, but he’s smarter than all of us. Heart of gold. A tad high-strung, but we still love ‘im.”

Sam finally gave in and helped me describe everyone. “Charlie is our resident hacker. She can find anything on the web, no matter how hard someone wanted it hidden. And she’s a giant nerd. Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, LARPing. You name it.”

“She’s like our little sister. You’ll love her.”

“And if Bobby’s the dad of our team, then Ellen and Jody are the co-moms. Don’t try to get anything past them because you’ll end up getting the stank-eye and an earful.”

“And don’t try to drink either of them under the table either,” I made sure to add. “Especially Ellen.”

“Jo, her daughter, has a major crush on Dean.”

“But who doesn’t?” Y/N interjected good-naturedly.

“Claire and Alex. They’re Jody’s adopted daughters. Claire is one hundred percent into the mission, but Alex wants nothing to do with it. She’s good when she helps out, but she wants a normal life.”

“Rufus won’t be there, but he’s still a part of the team. He’s worked with Bobby longer than any of us have been alive. They’re old, crotchety men, but they’re good people.”

“And we have Dean, who is the Oliver Queen of the group,” Y/N mused. I had no idea who she was talking about, but didn’t question her. “And Sam who… what is your role, Sam?”

“Hair specialist,” I quickly answered, needing to hear Y/N laugh. At least a single snort. And I was lucky enough to get an actual, real laugh that lifted my spirits. “But he’s also our research nerd.”

“And nutritionist,” Sam teased, surprising me. Usually he didn’t play along when I was poking fun at him. He just sent me a shrug and continued. “If it wasn’t for me, these guys would all eat diner burgers and beer for every meal.”

“Nothing wrong with that,” I mumbled.

“I know what you mean,” Y/N said, ignoring me and focusing her attention on my younger brother. “When I’ve had to bring Dean dinner because his office shackled him in, he always complains about the, how does he put it, the healthy shit I get for him.”

“Spinach does not belong in smoothies. Period.”

“My smoothies got rid of dozens of your hangovers, didn’t they? As Maui would say, You’re Welcome! But, speaking of the mom and dad of the group, what do your parents think about this double life?”

My parents? What in the world was she talking about? Sam and I shared a confused look. “Uh, our mom died when we were kids. And dad died, like, ten years ago. You know this.”

“No.” She sounded so sure, which was weird because last I checked, it wasn’t her life. “They’re alive. Your mom came to visit last month. I had lunch with her while you were at the meeting with Iritayn Corp.”

Brief flashes of my mother walking into my office flickered through my mind, but I also clearly remember the house fire that killed her when I was just a kid. I remembered her cutting the crusts off my sandwiches, but right next to that memory was one of me making marshmallow mac ‘n cheese for Sammy in a hotel room because I’d never had a parent to teach me how to cook. My father, playing catch with me in the backyard was quickly followed by a stern-faced John teaching me how to shoot a gun when I could barely hold the rifle up.

“What’s going on, Dean?” Y/N asked slowly.

Her voice brought me back to the present and I shook my head, hoping to clear it from the weird double vision. “Nothing, that was…that was weird.”

“Yeah,” Sam agreed softly. “For a minute, I was convinced mom and dad were dead.”

“Me too.”

Silence screamed between the three of us for a minute before Y/N spoke up. “Are you two on drugs or something? Should I be driving?”

Sam shook his head, much like I had just a minute ago to clear it. “Nah. I’m good. Besides, you don’t know where we’re going.”

As Sam drove the last few miles to Bobby’s, I couldn’t shake the lingering feeling that something had just changed, even if everything was still the same.

Why don't health insurance companies compete on price like car insurance companies?

I was watching TV (something I rarely do) this weekend, and I noticed a fair number of car insurance commercials from various companies. They were touting their high level of service and low prices, and urging consumers to investigate and switch to their company. How come this doesn't appear to happen with health insurance? Is it because employers, rather than the actual people insured, shop for insurance in many cases? Is it because auto insurers are allowed to compete more freely across state borders? Are the basic expectations different when it comes to health insurance? Or, does competition already exist in the health insurance industry but the product is so much more expensive no matter what? Serious answers appreciated. Thanks.""

Will auto insurance provider raise my premium rates for filing a claim even if the incident is not my fault?

I just noticed some deep scrapes/scratches on left corner of rear bumper on my Prius after returning from late-night shopping. I was thinking about filing a claim on basis of vandalism, but I heard providers tend to raise rates for filing a claim whether it's my fault or not. I'm just wondering if it'll cost me less in the long run to go for it or just find and go to an auto paint shop directly?""

Why not sell medical insurance like Auto insurance?

I know this is long but please bear with me. Rather than set up a separate government run medical insurance or expansion of medicare to the general public....One criticism of government care is that it will be in direct competition with existing providers. Ultimately siphoning insurance customers away from traditional plans and onto the rolls of govt care causing these providers to go out of business. Here in my state the auto insurance companies MUST offer the same basic minimum coverage in order to do business in the state. Everyone here must have at least the same basic level of insurance (both auto and medical) . You can go to any provider you choose and this basic minimum insurance level costs the same . If you want more insurance you can pay for additional coverage. But that basic plan is available to all. So why not have a similar program for medical insurance as part of a nation wide group policy. This group can be subsidized by the government but it would be managed by the existing insurance providers. (In other words if you want to be in the insurance business you must offer and support this minimum plan which would be a foundation for any other plan you offer) The govt pays the insurance company a flat rate to manage each person enrolled in the basic plan. The more money the company saves (the better they manage the insurance) the more money they keep. However if that company provides poor management it will cost them. Either subscribers will change management companies if they feel they are getting a raw deal or wasteful management would not be payed for by the government. One advantage I see here is that consumers would have an alternative providers to go to if they feel wronged by a particular management company. Insurance providers also have an incentive to offer additional services to the basic plan members in order to attract more subscribers and earn money. With a govt program like medicare your stuck with the one provider (the governement). As they say One Choice is NO Choice.... If someone wants additional insurance they can buy additional coverage from any provider they choose. But No one could be denied coverage for the standardized basic plan. Since everyone is part of this national group policy the basic insurance is portable and independent of supplemental policy one may have. So if you change jobs or move to a different state you may loose the supplemental policy BUT your basic coverage remains intact. You merely transfer the company that provides the management services for the basic medical. Insurance providers would get paid by the fed to manage the participants in the basic plan for each participant in the basic plan. this would put market forces into play for the insurance providers to make money by attracting additional participants through better service or offerings. COunter to this is if the consumer gets crappy management services they can transfer to any other insurance provider.

Can my parents put my car under their insurance so it's cheaper since I'm 16?

I'm 16 I have my permit and I have like 2 more months to go till I can get my license which is finally coming since its been a long wait. And after the 2 months end school starts and I'm going into my junior year and at this age everyone is driving already so please don't hate or any negative attitude here on that. And I'm responsible etc and work hard in school so that's why my parents are getting me a car I want and they've been saving saving into my bank account since I was little. But that money is for me. But the car I want is the 2013 Camaro ZL1 and it goes for $40,000 around there and don't blast on me about the price I'm not wanting a $100,000 car and its my first and last car I'm not gonna switch through 10 cars 1 is good enough and I like sports cars because of their look, and performance, I like smooth cars. But if my parents get that I know insurance is the thing that everyone has problems with because of pricing but since I'm 16 and the car is a sports car and all I was told it can be thousands for the insurance but what if it is under my parents insurance will it be way cheaper? And what does it mean if the car is under my parents name and not mines what is that? Will I still be able to name my plate?""

Health Insurance N. Florida?

Health Insurance CHP (Capital Health Plan) Tallahassee FL is diagnosing me? Why did my health insurance company contact my primary doctor after a hospital visit? After a recent visit to the ER due to a esophageal stricter which scared us thinking Chest pain! Spent 16 hours being observed and tested! Finally send down to endoscopy for a esophageal dilation! Did the job!! I was sent home 4 hours later! Now two weeks later I get a phone call from my Primary care Doctors office manager saying that my primary received a memo from my health insurance (after my ER visit) company and I was instructed to call and make an appointment for alcoholism counseling???? The night of the incident where I couldn't swallow, and was in pain! we had guests over and had a few beers! I gave the attending ER doctor all information including I had drank beer an hour before I got there. OK, now, For the 16 hours at the hospital and the multiple blood tests, everybody including the Dr's said everything looked good! and the Dr. that discharged me explained to my wife in detail about my blood work, said things were fine. So, why would my CHP (Capital Health Plan) health insurance company be contacting my primary? Especially about alcoholism counseling, this has NEVER been an issue in the past! I'm so upset! I've been with my primary for over 15 years and due to a knee injury he prescribes me mild pain killers, and Florida Law makes him take a urine sample every 3 months! Again this has never come up. Is this normal for an insurance company to do??? I'm so upset!!!!""

Question with progressive insurance?

Ok heres the deal. Last September we were backing out of our driveway and bumped into our neighbors drivers door on his late 80's mazda mx3. It caused a little dent in his car and just a tiny scratch on our car. We agreed that we will just handle it outside of insurance once spring came. Now that the snow finally melted here, he left a note on our door saying he wants payment in full in 7 days or he will report to our insurance. My question is, progressive told us they put it under property damage so there is no deductible but what will this do to our rates if anything? Thank You""

How do you fight with the other party's insurance company?

Hi, my car insurance covers for liability only and now I have an accident with a big truck. The big truck hit my car from the side. We were driving from 2 lanes next to each other and at one point the two lanes combine into one. While I was alittle pass over the truck, it hit me from the side. Their side has no damage since it is a big truck and our side has damaged from the driver side. The police report didn't explain clearly about whose fault it is except it mentions what the two drivers said. I think it is not my fault and the other driver denied it is his fault either. My insurance company didn't help much because we only have liability. Now, the other party insurance company called me and said they can't pay for the damanges since it is both parties fault. Therefore, pay for damanges on our own. Like I said, the other party didn't have any damages. If we have to fix it by ourselves, it will cost over $1500. :-( How should I fight with the insurance company to get my claims?""

Car insurance won't cover accident?

Ok, so I live here in phoenix arizona. I haven't had insurance on my car for a while up until Friday November 2, 2012 when I got paid from work. (Don't harass me for this it was a stupid decision. I live five minutes away from my work and that is all I do is work and home). Now, was heading into work and I thought I was parked. I was on private property, I was at Arrowhead Mall here in az. There are no camera's. etc. I thought I put my car in park when I had it in reverse and I started fiddling around for my purse in the passenger seat. I lifted my foot off the break and the car started rolling backwards and before I knew it I hit the other car that was parked. There was no one in the car and we swapped insurance information but because I had just gotten insurance that day it didn't process til November 3rd. So my insurance wouldn't cover the claim. Now I'm screwed and the guy is telling me that he is out of state and would like to get this fixed before he leaves. He was told that the claim has to be settled between us now. I want to make this right. It was my fault. But there was no police report. So, the guy is looking around for estimates on fixing his bumper.

Insurance for a teenager driving a sports car?

How much would car insurance go up if...?

My family and I are just trying to get a ballpark idea of how much my sister's car insurance would go up if we made a claim on an accident she had. She was in a mall parking lot and pulled out to make a left turn. I think she didn't really see a car coming, but I also think the car was zipping around the lot at a too-fast speed. My sister got hit in her driver's door and needs a new door and the frame of the car needs pulled out. There are no witnesses to really show who's fault it is, and I think it's a little of both judging by how much damage there is on her car (the other driver had to be going fast). There is no damage on the other person's car. It costs about $1500 to get it fixed (just the bare minimum - a new door from a junkyard and fixing the frame, just to make it safe and sealed, there will still be some dents). We're debating on claiming it or not because there is a $500 deductible. She is 25 years old and hasn't had an accident before. How much do you think the insurance would go up and how long would it stay up? Would it be worth it to claim it or should she just pay cash for the damages? Thanks!""

Being Alone, Cats, and Children: 2.5 YRS., 46 LBS. OF LOVE, SPAYED & DREAMING OF A HOME FOR 27913 THE HOLIDAYS... BROOKLYN ACC Dumai Very shy, but warms quickly! Super wiggly, affectionate, loyal, playful and sweet. Agentle hearted girl who bonds strongly w/her person, & gives them her heart for life. TO BE KILLED – 12/8/2018 She thought she had found her forever home, she thought she would be loved forever, but she was wrong. Her parent gave several reasons for returning her to the scary shelter; “Other” was one, “Landlord” was the other, and the third was “my apartment was inspected and is being fixed so she can’t be there till it’s done.” But they didn't come back, and only succeeded in breaking Dumai’s heart, leaving her world shattered. She is so loyal, she bonds very hard with her person and gives them her heart forever. She is timid by nature, takes comfort in her quiet family life, and the love of her parent. But it seems she only needs a very short time to warm up to new people as long as she is allowed to do so at her own pace. That is not much to ask for such a jewel as Dumai. But the shelter is overwhelming, and she has begun to cling to one staff member, who has become her rudder, her one shining hope for happiness. Yes this person has become her Bestie, and they see the “REAL” Dumai. See what they have to say below, then rush to foster or adopt Dumai and give her back her life, her dream of a family, her smile. You can PRIVATE MESSAGE our page or email us at MustLoveDogsNYC@gmail.com for assistance. Because Dumai is Rescue Only for being scared, you need to fill out applications with NH rescues to save her life. Please don’t let her die alone and terrified, among strangers. Her favorite staff member writes: “Yes, Dumai is a huge scaredy cat BUT it is a great big world out there! She and I have formed a nice friendship together, now when she sees me coming for her, her whole back end will wiggle wiggle wiggle. I enjoy playing fetch with this girl (and I think the feeling is mutual) - for a low to ground, squatty girl, she is fast! She does the cutest little zoomies too. Eek! After all that activity, Dumai joins me on the bench to just chill. I will only begin lightly, gently petting her if she solicits first. Since she is somewhat comfortable with me, she will head nudge for attention. This girl has blossomed so much in such a short amount of time with me and I see her being a good companion to a special someone who can allow her as much time and space as she needs to warm up. She has truly melted my heart (mostly due to her wiggling body when she's running at full speed during play).” Dumai – our shy little marshmallow & queen of the zoomies <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICjN_Q_po3Y DUMAI, ID 27913, @ 4 YRS. 9 Mos.

Around children she is described as relaxed and plays gentle. Around other dogs she is described as reactive will bark, growl and also try to growl.

Dumai is housetrained and has a high energy level. She has never had any medical issues. Other Notes:: Dumi is somewhat hard to control when she is barking at other people or dogs, becomes somewhat anxious when she is left alone and barks often when she wants to let you know that she hears other dogs. She isn't bothered with loud storms or fireworks, having her food or toys touched, being held or restrained, being given a bath or being brushed. She has never had her nails trimmed and will bark, growl and snap when unfamiliar people approach her home or owner.

SHELTER ASSESSMENT – DATE OF ASSESSMENT, 12/6/2018 Summary:: Dumai is very fearful at the care center and takes time to warm up to new people. Once she warms up, she has allowed minimal handling, freezing when handling becomes to quick or intense.
