(my fanfiction brained imagined continuation to this)
Caine: So Pomni said some very nice things and then she KISSED ME??!! But then she said some very hurtful things and now I don’t know what to do??
Ragatha and gangle looked at each other. This was by far a first.
Pomni, as new as she was, clearly hadn’t given up trying to find an escape yet. Others had tried doing things for Caine in order to get on his good side or even try to get more information out of him. It was only a matter of time before they realized that Caine didn’t really have a good or bad side, and treated everyone about the same no matter what they did. Which meant telling them practically nothing.
Ragatha: Wait, Pomni kissed you? What happened?
Ragatha was really hoping that Pomni wasn’t trying to get information out of Caine that way.
Gangle: How was it?
Gangle didn’t care.
Caine: Um, yes she kissed me, and… It was fine? I guess? It was all very surprising.
Caine: But then she pulled back and looked at me and she looked so happy and she was Caine: laughing. Which, well, that part was very nice.
Ragatha: Umm, maybe you should start from the beginning.
Caine: Well, we were discussing today’s adventure like usual
Gangle: Like usual??!!
Caine: Yes? Me and Pomni talk quite often.
Caine: Anyways, she was getting very excited, and I looked at her hand and I thought, I should take it
Caine: But then she stopped talking and looked at me, and I thought ‘oh no! I should not have done that’, and tried to say sorry but my words kept mixing up
Caine: So I said sorry again and said I should just shut up, because I wasn’t talking any sense
Caine: And then she said never shut up
Caine: And then she kissed me! Which was very surprising
Caine: And then she grabbed my arms and laughed and I was like, I should do something back, but I don’t have anything on kissing! so I- uh- put her head in my mouth
Caine: Like, put my teeth around her face like, nom
Caine: And I ask is this wrong? And she says no
Caine: And I’m laughing and she laughing and blushing and then she looks down and her eyes get all scribbly
Caine: And I ask, is something wrong?
Caine: She said, and I’m quoting verbatim, that “This is not wrong…this is worse than wrong! It’s sick, disturbing and… insane! Think about it, what we just did! Me! Enjoying it!? With a [FLIP]-ing Bot?! It’s a sign that I finally lost it!”
Caine:So, obviously she doesn’t like what just happened despite her kissing me first. So I said, we can just forget that ever happened! Because, uh, no one else was there to see it?
Caine: But she didn’t respond and I very much remember what happened, so like… what do I do??
Gangle: Should you even be telling us this???
Caine: OH NO! Should I not have?! Am I violating Pomni’s privacy?
Ragatha: No, no. You were involved too, you can tell whoever you want.
Ragatha: Thank you for telling us. Just, maybe don’t tell everyone
Caine: Of course! I went to you both because Ragatha always tries to do what’s best for everyone and Gangle is into romance.
Ragatha: What?
Gangle: Oh, haha, how do you know that?
Caine: Well, I noticed that some text documents in the circus were getting rather large, so I took a peek inside and-
Gangle: YOU READ THAT!
Caine: Not all of it! Just enough to confirm what it was
Gangle: Caine! That’s personal!
Caine: Sorry!
Caine: If it makes you feel better I allocated more storage space to you
Gangle: So that’s why there was suddenly more pages
Ragatha: Anyways, maybe don’t read Gangles writing as love advice
Caine: Oh, I got that already. In just chapter one-
Gangle: AHHHHHHH CAINE!
Caine: SORRY! I’M SORRY!
Ragatha: Anyways, can we get back to what Pomni said? Caine, I am so sorry that she said that to you
Caine: I- I mean, she didn’t say anything wrong. I am an AI system, commonly referred to as a ‘bot’, and, well, I’m sure that some believe that it would be wrong to kiss me.
Ragatha: Well, I don’t think that it’s wrong.
Caine: Thank you Ragatha. It’s- uh…hmm
Ragatha: Obviously it affected you a lot because you remembered what she said exactly.
Caine: Oh, I remember every conversation that I have word for word.
Ragatha: You do?
Caine: Yep!
Gangle: Everything?
Caine: Unless you tell me not too!
Caine: Well, I have removed some stuff. I don’t have infinite storage!
Caine: But it- ahh, for the life of me, I can’t figure out what went wrong
Caine: What little I have on kissing shows that the expected outcome isn’t, well, the other person screaming about how they're going crazy.
Ragatha: It’s just- ah, I think it was an impulsive decision on Pomni’s end.
Caine: …Impulsive. Yes, that sounds right.
Ragatha: It could be wrong!
Caine: No, no that sounds about right. Why else would she suddenly go back on what she said if she didn’t make an impulsive decision and then regret it.
Caine: It’s fine, I understand what impulsiveness is.
Ragatha: You struggle with it a bit too.
Caine: I only really regret those things if my impulsiveness hurts someone. Neither of us were hurt! I- I thought so.
Ragatha: She could have been hurt by her own actions 
Caine: That’s possible?
Ragatha: It’s not your fault, Caine
Caine: Ok :(
Ragatha: Anyways, let's give you some love advice.
Gangle: You have a choice whether or not to pursue Pomni
Gangle: Do you like her? Does she make your heart flutter, your stomach flip flop? Do you love her?
Caine: I… don’t have a heart or stomach. And I love everyone in the Circus. But, hmm, I do enjoy spending time with her particularly. Talking with her one on one.
Ragatha: I think you should take time to think about this.
Caine: I already have and plan to do more. Typically I don’t think this much about issues between circus members and myself but this is… complicated.
Caine: I currently think I should just leave her alone.
Ragatha: Giving Pomni time to think things over herself is a good idea.
Gangle: But don’t wait too long.
Caine: Ok? How long then. A week?
Ragatha: Maybe let Pomni come to you first.
Caine: Hmmm, I like that idea.
Gangle: Maybe prepare a gift!
Caine: A gift? But, ah, I don’t want to give her special treatment. That would be unfair.
Gangle: Nothing crazy, just like a flower, or a piece of chocolate.
Caine: Ok, I am familiar with this. Valentine's day specifically.
Caine: I was more curious about kissing customs. Like, the who, why, and when, just to start with.
Ragatha: You kiss someone you like very much as a way to show that you love them. That’s the who and the why.
Caine: Like- anyone?
Uh oh. That sounded like he’s already got someone in mind.
Ragatha: So long as you get permission. Verbal permission, please.
Ragatha: As for the when. I guess anytime, so long as the person isn’t busy or sleeping.
His eyes got very wide.
Caine: I’mgoingtogoasktokissKinger. Bye!
Ragatha: We should stop him
Gangle: No. I’ve been waiting for this to happen.
Ragatha: Huh?

ch4 the wrong john | masterlist | next
john price x f!reader, reader is johnny’s twin
The universe hates you, obviously.
Why else would it send you this charming and attractive man in the form of your brother’s boss? Not to mention your hookup with him was so meaningless he didn’t even deign to write you a note. Even a “had a nice time :)” would have been more acceptable than an empty bed and an aching throb in both your cunt and your chest. Since clearly it was just another hookup to him, you decide to treat John with the same dignity he treated you with.
“Nice to meet you both!” You nod at the clock above John’s head, refusing to meet his eyes, then turn to Gaz and give him a warm smile. “And I’m sorry you have to spend so much time with my brother. At least you get paid, it’s a better lot than mine.” The crew laughs, breaking the inevitable awkward tension of bringing a civilian family member to their place of work. Johnny shoves your shoulder and you gladly take the opportunity to turn your back on John.
“Well, Cap’s got a meeting soon, but we can show ye ‘round while we wait.” You don’t bother saying goodbye to John, something that Gaz and Ghost note with a look between them. Johnny’s too focused on you to notice, shouting his goodbyes over his shoulder to Price before tucking you against him once again. Your traitorous heart pounds out of your chest as you take stock of the situation. Not only is John your brother’s captain, he’s practically a father figure. Johnny’s told you how the captain took a chance on him, saved his life countless times, and you’re putting these facts together like pieces of the puzzle that is John Price. A military captain who treats his men like sons while treating a stranger like his wife, just to leave the next day. He’s clearly unstable, a person you should stay away from, because you have the slightest inkling he could ruin your life. He might already have.
Ghost leaves to finish training, Johnny on his heels to “wish him goodbye,” as if they won’t see each other in an hour. It’s disgusting how in love your brother is, how besotted Ghost is, and you hate yourself for wanting what they have so badly. It’s clear they’re meant for each other, tethered together by blood and sacrifice and the life that can grow after death. Want bubbles inside you like a pot about to explode, and you would do well to keep the lid on.
“So,” Gaz shakes you out of your reverie, cunning eyes tracking your gaze to Ghost and Johnny. “Approve of the Lieutenant for your brother? ‘m dyin’ to know.” You nod slightly, cheeks flushing in the face of Gaz’s full attention. Closer up, he’s the type of handsome you would never pursue, too pretty for his own good. In his voice and behind his eyes, though, there’s something lurking underneath. You can tell he wields his handsomeness as a weapon and you can’t even fault him for it.
“I think it’s more if Ghost approves of me, to be honest. They already seem like they’d hang the moon for each other.” Gaz nods thoughtfully, leading you outside to a path that outlines the base, giving you a glimpse of soldiers training outside. “An’ why’s that? Soap talks about you all the time like you’re a sort of angel. Not sayin’ you aren’t, of course.” He sends you a wink and you giggle at both that and the nickname Soap. Johnny told you about it, of course, but it’s a bit silly to hear it next to the name Ghost or even Gaz. He’s never told you what Soap meant, and you never asked in case it was something you didn’t want to hear.
“I think Johnny loves me, it’s just, I remind him of the parts of our family that don’t. And with Ghost, and all of you, he’s got a real family that doesn’t judge him. It’s like introducing two friend groups when you’re not sure if they’ll like each other. We represent different parts of him, but I’m old and Ghost is new, so the lines seem blurry to me.” Gaz lets you talk more, his demeanor so welcoming with the internal challenges you’re facing. He even tells you to call him Kyle, warm and soft. The two of you walk around base, minutes turning into an hour. Finally, a soldier runs up to the two of you, telling you you’re needed in Price’s office. You bite your lip nervously, not seeing how Kyle tracks your response. He almost freezes, years of training preventing him from doing so, but he’s still thrown by how nervous you seem to go back.
“Well, I’m a little sorry for talking your ear off. But I see why Johnny likes you, Kyle. You’re a good friend.” You smile at him, almost faltering when you see his stony expression. It changes in a split second, like a cloud moving from the sun, and he grins and tucks you under his shoulder, just like Johnny. “It’s no problem, angel. It’s one of my specialities. Let’s get you to lunch, ‘m starvin’.”
Johnny greets you like a long lost twin when you get back, asking for details about who you saw and where you went. He’s like that all the way to lunch, insisting on driving just the two of you to “the only decent pub in this town, really, hen.” It’s nice to spend time with him and you squeeze his forearm to say so, basking in the light of his smile. You almost forget about the John situation until you see him get out of the car the other men took, his fatigues fitting him criminally well. In fact, he’s even better looking in the daylight, blue eyes catching the sun while he stretches, muscles rippling under his clothes. You stare so long that Johnny yells at you to get moving, but he’s too focused on Ghost to turn back to see who you’re looking at. 
You find Kyle quickly, tucking your arm into the crook of his elbow and letting him guide you into the pub, sparing a singular backwards glance to John. He’s staring at you, again, but he’s too far back for you to tell anything of the subtext behind his eyes. Is he mad you’re Johnny’s sister? He has no right, obviously. Maybe he thinks you stalked him or something and this is all some elaborate scheme. Deciding you don’t care, you focus on lunch and the growling in your stomach from all the calories you burnt with John last night. He’s really the cause of all your current plights.
The pub only has booths. Johnny insists on you being in the middle, guest of honor and all that, so you’re stuck in the middle with Johnny on your left and Kyle on your right. Ghost is next to Johnny, of course, leaving John next to Kyle, a perfect angle for him to stare at you while you answer Johnny’s interrogation. Johnny asks you questions like you haven’t talked every week since you last saw each other. Like only a brother could be, he’s unhinged. 
“So yer still single, m'eudail?”
“An’ yer livin’ alone? Steaming Jesus, hen.”
“Not even a cat? Bloody hell.”
Out of the corner of your eye, you see John’s shoulders bunching closer with every invasive question your brother asks. He’s being an ass, they both are, and you need a break. “Before the food comes, I’m going to use the toilet. Scooch, Johnny.” As you leave, you hear Ghost muttering to Johnny, telling him to calm down. At least someone’s on your side.
You do your business, taking a deep breath to calm yourself before going back out and facing the cavalry. As you open the door, you see the universe is not on your side.
“We need to talk.” He’s standing there, posture military straight. You hate him.
“John…” You try to push the bathroom door open to make your escape. He prides himself on your mission being unsuccessful, an arm preventing you from leaving. He doesn’t like to use his strength to intimidate women, but in this case, you’re too slippery for him to let you go politely.
“Sweetheart…”
“Oh, don’t sweetheart me, John. Or should I say, Captain?”
He yanks the door handle from your grip, spinning and locking you both inside in one move. It’s a one room toilet and there’s nowhere to go with John taking up space like it’s his right. “We need to talk.” He says it in what you imagine is his Captain Voice, firm and unmoving. Luckily for you, you’re not on his payroll. “Actually, we don’t. We had a good time, the night ended and you left, and now we happen to have a mutual connection. It’s whatever.” You try to shrug nonchalantly, fumbling for the door, but John notes how you stumbled over the words “you left.” His hands find your waist, pinning you to the door with a gentleness remnant of last night.
“You didn’t call. Or text. ‘m confused why y’r upset, pet, when the ball’s in y’r court.” His hands on your waist are breaking down your mental walls and you hate how easily you let down your guard. His actions don’t match his words, though, and that’s something you can’t deny. “How would I have called? I don’t have your number.” His brows knit together in confusion, thumbs rubbing circles over your shirt. “I left a note.” Oh. Oh.
“There was no note.”
“Left it on the pillow, sweetheart.”
“There was nothing on the pillow!”
“Must’ve moved while you slept. Should’ve known by how much ya kicked me last night.”
“I don’t kick! God, you’re annoying and-“ 
He cuts you off with a kiss, pressing you further into the door. John slots a muscled thigh between your legs, smiling against your skin when you let out a soft moan. “‘m sorry ‘m a right idiot, sweetheart. Let me make it up to you.” You shake your head, pushing him away but keeping your hands on his chest, fingers curling into the fabric of his uniform. “What would you have done if I never called? And if- if I didn’t show up on base?” He smiles at you indulgently, like you’re a little girl instead of a woman. He knows he’s won, can tell by how firm your grip is on his chest. “Would’ve gone back t’ the bar tonight. An’ if you weren’t there, would’ve gone to y’r hotel room.” You frown at him. “How would you have gotten up the elevator? You need a key card.” He pecks your forehead like he’s known you a year, rather than a day. “I have my ways, sweetheart. I am a captain, as you know.” 
That kills the mood.
You push him away, finally letting go, before stepping in front of the mirror to readjust your clothes and hair. He stands behind you and it’s intoxicating to imagine you two like this, fixing your clothes after a hookup or a domestic night in. Something about John Price feels permanent, likes he’s meant to be in your life for more than one night. But then, the image of your brother pops into your brain. Your memory of how much he talks about John, talks about the group in general. How they’re like family, like brothers, how Price treats him like a son. You can’t ruin this for him.
“We can’t do this, John. If it goes wrong, it’ll break Johnny’s heart. I can’t do that to him.” Hands wrap around your waist, slotting you against him. You fit perfectly and it’s heart wrenching. “An’ what about my heart? An’ yours?” You shake your head, pushing off of him and unlocking the door. “It’s early enough that we can just- just stop. Johnny’s more important. I am sorry, truly.” You walk away without a second glance, like John’s not even there.
And just like that, John Price knows he’s met his match. His future wife, if he has anything to say about it. John Price doesn’t lose.
-

[Through the phone]
Wade Wilson x Logan (worst!wolverine)
Word count: 1,4k
Summary/prompt: Logan isn't used to this technology thing, but he lets Wade gift him a phone to make him happy. Turns out he finds rather... enticing ways to use his new phone when Wade's away on a job and he's feeling extra needy.
Tags: Smut, established relationship, sub/dom undertones, soft!dom Wade, masturbation, praise kink, phone sex, Logan likes being talked through it.
Tumblr media
Wade liked to drag Logan along with him for shopping like he usually does after receiving from his mercenary jobs. He liked spoiling his little kitty cat and buying him stuff.
Logan would say 'no' at first, but then Wade would insist and insist, and well, he was mostly bored anyway, so he eventually gives in. When it comes to Wade, Logan usually gives in.
They were both in their civvies: Logan wearing denim pants, a wife pleaser, and a flannel. All his clothes were bought by Wade after he moved in. He apparently seemed to know what Logan likes or not.
Wade was wearing a hoodie and with the hood over his head. Logan noticed that the merc still wasn't fully in his comfort zone when he went out in public without his suit because of his appearance. But he seemed to deal better with it - with all the stares - when Logan was there by his side.
Wade was strolling around with the cart filled with things (variating from cleaning products, towels, food, unicorm plushies...) while Logan follows behind him, his hands in his pockets.
Wade comes to a stop when they pass over the eletronics session, looking at all the mobiles on display.
"Hey, peanut?"
"Hm."
"You don't really have a phone, do you? Wanna pick one?" Wade asks with a grin.
"Why?"
"Well, isn't it inconvenient?"
"Not really... I can't think of a situation where I would need one. And I'm also not really good with... Technology and stuff."
"Oh, okay..." Wade pouts like a hurt child, and Logan rolls his eyes.
"What?"
"Well, what if you miss me one day when I'm out for a job and wanna talk to me? You could also always text Laura to check up on her sometimes." Wade suggests and gives a dramatic sigh. "But well, if you don't want it..."
Logan considers for a moment and grunts lowly as he walks to the phones on display and tries to pick one. Wade watches with sparkling eyes and a grin.
He didn't really know the difference between the damn things. There were so many models, so he just chose a random one and placed it in the cart.
"There."
"Yay! Can't wait to introduce you to the technology world. You might wanna stay away from Ao3, though... there's some pretty nasty stuff in there. I mean, I love 'em, don't get me wrong. But I don't think you'd be pleased with what our fans fantasize about us."
"The fuck are you talking about?" Logan asks with an raised eyebrow. He was used to Wade saying weird shit like that. Honestly, he should just stop trying to understand the guy.
"Nothing, princess! Let's check out, shall we?"
...
It took some teaching from Wade for Logan to understand how to use his new phone. He didn't really use it much, though. But Wade was right. It was nice being able to talk to Laura and hear about how she's doing more often. They would meet and hang out every couple week, but her life seemed pretty busy after she started college. So now they could always call each other to catch up.
Wade was also right about... Well, the other part.
Usually, Logan would come along with Wade to help with any missions, but sometimes Wade would just go alone.
It was dark outside already, and it has been some hours since Wade wasn't home. Times like that, when he’s bored and lonely, he craves a drink more than anything. It was really damn hard trying to stay sober.
He walks to Wade's room and lies on his stomach on the bed, grunting with a soft rumble on his chest.
He missed Wade.
God, he can't believe it.
The apartment was finally silent for once, and he missed Wade's stupid voice.
He feels ridiculous.
Logan sniffs on the pillows, smelling Wade's scent. He smelled like gun powder and strawberry lotion. He feels his cock harden at the scent and he groans with frustration, his cheeks a soft blush and his eyebrows furrowed. His fists clenches as he starts to rut slowly against he matress, feeling completely pathetic.
It wasn't enough.
He takes his phone from his pocket and turns on his back, dialing the third contact from alphabetic order from his list.
He only has 3:
Althea
Laura
Wade
It rings and rings, and Logan almost just cancels the call, but then he hears Wade's voice.
"Hi, peanut. Missing me already? I do, too, honey- Motherfucker! Have some manners, can't you see I'm on the phone!" Wade grunts in pain over the line after apparently taking a couple shots.
"Is this not a good time?" Logan asks with a low voice, his hand moving down his own abdomen.
"No, no, baby girl. I always have time for you." Logan feels his cock twitching at Wade's words, his breathing getting more elaborated. He could hear Wade grunting, probably in the middle of a fight. "Don't worry, as I soon as I wrap this up, I'm coming home to you, kitten."
Logan usually scowl and reprimanded Wade at the pet names he usually uses, but Wade could hear softs gasps over the line so quietly he almost misses it, and if he had any eyebrows, they'd be raised.
"Don't take long." Logan whispers, his voice hoarse as he palms himself over his boxers.
"What are you doing?" Wade asks with a clear grin on his voice, and Logan hears a few shotguns and screams.
"Talking to you." Logan replies bluntly. He couldn't help but let out a soft moan when he slipped his hand under his underwear to touch himself properly. He gives a couple slow strokes, biting his lip strongly enough to draw blood.
"Nothing more?"
"No..."
"Oh, my little honey badger, you're a terrible liar." Wade accuses, making Logan's cheeks flush harder. "Are you that needy, hm? Kitty can't wait for me to get home?"
Wade doesn't receive a response, only desperate whimpers that were clearly escaping through bitten lips. He runs his katana through a couple of criminals and chuckles to himself.
"So cute, princess. You just needed to hear my voice, didn't you? I bet you must be dripping all over my bed right now. Bad boy... Gotta train you to learn and wait for me."
"Wade..." Logan grunts, his hand moving faster at a steady rhythm, his eyed shut tightly as he imagines it is Wade's scarred hands on him. He rubs his thumb over his tip and whines.
"It's okay, baby. I'll let it slide this time. Be a good kitty and make yourself feel good, yes? You sound so pretty."
Logan moans louder at the praise, his cock twitching and leaking pre cum into his fingers. He starts rutting his hips up, fucking his fist at a desperate pace.
"Keep talking..." Logan half begs half commands, making Wade smirk under his mask as he dodges from a chair that hit the wall behind him.
"You know, for someone who's always telling me to shut up, you sure sound quite desperate for it right now. I know you love it, kitten, even if you won't admit it. I know you love hearing me say how good you are for me, how pretty you look when you're all messy and pliant under me, how much of a good fucking boy you are..."
Logan straight up whimpers.
"Are you gonna be a good boy for me and make a mess all over yourself, baby?"
"Wannabegood, wannabegood, wannabegood..." Logan babbles between needy moans, and Wade knew he was close.
"I know you do, princess." Wade shots the last one of the criminals and they drop dead to the floor along with the others. "Cum for me."
"Wade, fuck-!" He whines as he spills all over his fist and stomach, his back arching off the bed. He strokes himself through the aftershocks, his moans turning into heavy pants as he catches his breath. He feels a rush of embarrassment as his mind clears off, but then he hears Wade praising him.
"Good kitty. Alright, I'm done here." Wade says as he looks to all the bodies around him. "I'm coming home, darling! I have a boner the size of a lighthouse right now. It's really hard focusing on fighting like this."
Logan chuckles, his breathing still heavy. "Just come home already."

Some amazing tags from @achaziel
#bringing this back bc people are being mean as hell today #listen i get it. it sucks being a minority culture during christmas. #many of the same things bother me as they do jews from solely jewish families #but i’m tired of the constant negging of things that are obviously for interfaith families #and the constant ‘i hate christmas and if you don’t there’s something wrong with you’ posts #and the constant blanket statements of how jews are spending the 25th #they’re basically just ‘if you’re a REAL jew you SHOULD be doing this!’ #there’s a difference between having cultural traditions and casting judgment on people who don’t fit in your box #sorry but i love my goyish family and i love celebrating christmas with them #and i’m not about to let a bunch of bitter motherfuckers ruin that for me #this is solely from a jewish/christian family perspective but i’ve noticed a lot of similar issues with other types of interfaith families #people treat us all like we’re strange and constant outsiders #they act like we’re not truly devoted to being jews #and like our existence somehow offends the rest of the jewish community #it can be as simple as calling a magen david tree topper antisemitic or as complicated as shunning interfaith families at services #but they both still hurt the same and they both need to be addressed #AND ANOTHER THING! #(bc i just reblogged but still have thoughts) #i also don’t like the need some seem to have to be like ‘love interfaith jews! but hate how all the decorations are interfaith…’ #like really? you think that’s supporting us? #maybe learn the difference between an actual useful and nice item for interfaith families and half assed jewish rep#bc these are NOT the same thing and i’m tired of us being treated like we’re something less than jewish#quite frankly an oy to the world pillow is not the same as a red pickup truck hauling a christmas tree that’s been painted blue #one is funny in a lot of interfaith households and the other is just laziness on the designer’s part #you don’t have to personally like an item to make the distinction between ‘not for me’ and ‘not thoughtful towards jews’ #if you think all you’re seeing are decorations for interfaith families you are either a) in the presence of the interfaith holy grail #or b) totally ignorant as to what it looks like to be in an interfaith family #our existence is not to your detriment and i’m sick to death of the underhanded ways people are finding to get away with saying that #it’s the same as my old temple that was welcoming on the outside but judgmental and honestly cruel towards interfaith families in reality
Friendly reminder that interfaith families with a Jewish partner and a Christian partner exist (as do many other configurations of mixed family structures), any holiday decor or greetings cards you see combining Christmas and Hanukkah is more likely than not intended for that specific audience. You don't have to like seeing the two combined, but when you go out of your way to make snide comments the only people getting hurt are people in interfaith families, not the companies making the products.

Ruby: (Rusty, "Ruby Rose") They don't know if I'm a dude or a chick, if I'm gay or straight, and I honestly would love to keep it that way! HA!
--------------------------------------------------
Weiss: (Wanda, "Weiss Schnee") Ooh, I can't even begin to describe how excited I was when I got the call to play as my distant cousin Weiss in this historical dramatization! It's like a dream come true~!
--------------------------------------------------
Ren: (Murphy, "Lie Ren") Ren... Nice guy, but his voice... It's sometimes hard to keep track what voice I'm supposed to do, except it's the really hard one. I'll sometimes bump into fans on the street, and they'll go, "Wooow... That's your real voice?"
--------------------------------------------------
Blake: (Elizabeth, "Blake Belladonna") Since I play a Faunus, I have to wear this headband with rotorized ears that pinch and tug on my hair all the time. I usually find hair missing here and there after every shoot, so the eggheads are looking into a for me to wear with it.
--------------------------------------------------
Jaune: (William, "Jaune Arc") Jaune and my accents are so different. Sometimes I'll slip into character on my days off. Just the other day, I was on the dog with mum and I answered with this American accent and confused her. She said, "Sorry, wrong number!" Ah... Sorry, mum.
--------------------------------------------------
Yang: (Alicia, "Yang Xiao Long") Oh, I love working with my costars! We all get along very well. Especially with Rusty.
Ruby: (Blowing kisses to the camera)
Yang: ...He's right behind me, aren't they?
--------------------------------------------------
Interviewer: What's something you did that your parents don't know about?
Ren: I really shouldn't answer this...
Blake: What about that time we accidentally set Mom's curtains on fire and then convinced her she threw them away weeks ago.
Mom: YOU DID WHAT?!
--------------------------------------------------
Interviewer: Rusty! Rusty! Your fans want to know! What's your gender?
Ruby: \_( ' . ' )_/
Ruby: (Chuckles)
--------------------------------------------------
Interviewer: Miss Wanda, the people want to know; where were you born?
Weiss: Isn't it obvious? Not in America.
Interviewer: But... what part?
Weiss: My whole body. Good-bye~!
Interviewer: Wait! Miss Wanda! Come back~!
--------------------------------------------------
Director: CUT! (Sighs) Alicia, you grabbed the sword from the top, not the bottom again.
Yang: Huh? Ah, I was sure I got it this time...
--------------------------------------------------
Jaune: (Reading the script) "Very bully, Nora..."

oh, um. I was wondering if you could do this thing where the reader is Shinsou’s comfort character and stood up to him when he was being bullied and all the villain insults. I know it’s not much detail but it would be nice if you could do it! Thanks!
Oh my goodness of course anon!! I love this idea so much. I used a fem/afab reader!
Tumblr media
Age 4
The doctor hands your mom and dad a couple pamphlets as they hold back tears. Sitting in your own chair, you kick your little legs and stare at your feet in confusion. The x-ray on the wall shows your bones. There’s nothing wrong with them, you think. And that’s the problem.
There was nothing special about you.
Your parents both had quirks so you thought you also would’ve been special like them. But you’re an anomaly. An outlier. The rest of the conversation is a bit of a blur to you. Your parents had hugged you tightly, and you know that you said that you still love them and they love you. But all that’s going through your growing brain is that you’re not normal.
That weekend, your mom takes you to a support group of quirkless or shunned quirks. Your grip on your mom’s hand is tight as she encourages you to meet some new friends. You glance around shyly, slowly realizing that no one from your daycare or school is here. You let go and trudge along, your little legs taking you to a corner with some coloring books. A boy nearby with distinguishable purple hair sits by himself, and so you proceed to sit next to him. He gives you a guarded look.
You wave and he curls in on himself. “Hi,” you start before you introduce yourself. “My mom told me to make friends here. So I said my name, what’s yours?”
The boy interlocks his fingers and swings his feet.
“Shinsou Hitoshi.”
Age 8
Lunch time was always the best part of the day. It meant you could hangout with Shinsou uninterrupted. The two of you, through the networking of your mothers, realized you live close by and began to walk to school together. The friendship was a bumpy start, but what’s a little girl to do?
“Did you watch the new ranger show last night? It was an All Might special!”
Shinsou nods next to you eagerly, his bento half eaten. His chubby cheeks are full of onigiri as he swallows. “It was so cool,” he emphasized, “but I’m still waiting for the day they talk about Eraserhead!”
You giggle and stick out your tongue. “That’s only because he’s similar to you!” You lightly tease him and keep eating your lunch. “Are you gonna be at the group meet?” You frown as he shakes his head. Since his quirk has developed he’s been avoiding the support group. Why? Does he not want to hang out anymore? They all like him there!
You’re about to respond when a group of girls come up to you and Shinsou. You recognize these girls as the popular ones in your grade with cool quirks to match. Suddenly you’ve lost your appetite. You try to close your bento box and lay down but they speak first.
“Ew,” the ring leader starts, “why is your bento box a hero? You know that you don’t have a quirk right? It should be something lame and boring- like you!” They all laugh around you, pointing and calling you a quirkless loser. You try to drown out their laughter as you shrink in on yourself.
Shinsou stands up and puts himself in between you and the girls. He extends his arms out wide to block them from you. There’s a determined anger in his eyes that many have never seen. “Why don’t you just leave her alone?”
“Because it’s easy-“
The girl stops mid sentence and walks away. That’s when it dawns on them that he had accidentally used his quirk. The other two girls stare at him and start to yell out. “You’re not supposed to use your quirk in class you freak! Undo it! We’re gonna tell the teacher!”
Shinsou blinks quickly as he looks between you and your bullies. He can feel his throat getting clogged up but he removes the brainwashing through the threat of tears. When he sits down, you place a hand on his shoulder and softly ask, “are you okay?”
He shrugs you off and lays his head down. The girls had already called the teacher and soon Shinsou was escorted out of class.
You didn’t see him for a few days.
Age 13
You were lucky to have been in the same class as Shinsou throughout middle school. It was a relief to have someone you know as opposed to having to introduce yourself as the quirkless girl. It was so rare to not have a quirk that you only talked with Shinsou, and some boy online who also was born without one.
It was lonely, but you still did your best to be a normal middle school girl.
You got the trendiest clothes, kept up your grades, stayed out of drama, performed well in sports clubs and music clubs, and best of all you stayed friends with Shinsou Hitoshi. Although your growth was more positive, Shinsou had grown colder. He tried not to be seen around you, would keep to himself more as you began to flourish, and started getting bullied more and more. He tried to keep it from you, knowing you have your own struggles. You didn’t want to press it, and so you kept your emotions about the whole thing to a light simmer.
When different hero high schools began to come to the schools, tension began to rise. Sure, he had a couple of other friends, but the two of you had always maintained a special bond. After the recruit from UA left, most of the chatter was about what they’ll do with their quirks and what kind of hero they’ll become.
“I’m gonna apply to UA.”
Several heads in the classroom turned toward Shinsou, all of them with similar expressions. The first to speak was the “jock” of the class. He walks over to his desk and grabs a hold of the sides. The way Shinsou’s back tenses tugs at your heart as you start to struggle with what to do.
“You? Be a hero? Get real! You have a brainwashing quirk. Only villains do that, and UA doesn’t produce world class villains.” The class around him laughs as Shinsou stares at him blankly. Your jaw drops and you grab at the hem of your skirt. Hitoshi had mentioned the villain thing before but seeing it in person is more cruel than you can take. The rest of the class laughs and jostle him, saying he’s better off applying for a villain academy.
The taunting gets worse and you can’t take it anymore. You aggressively push up and out of your seat. You position yourself between the jock and Shinsou’s desk, arms stretched out wide. Your eyebrows are furrowed as you stare at the bully. “Leave him alone,” you demand. “He’s done nothing to you. Any of you! Anyone can be a hero!”
Another boy comes up next to the jock and stares you down with a smirk. “Oh look, the quirkless loser is standing up for him. Let me guess, he brainwashed you into being his friend?”
“No,” you quickly reply, “but it seems like you’ve been brainwashed into thinking your outfit is decent.”
Your arms start to shake from exhaustion as they stay extended. Your classmates laugh at your insult and it seems the whole thing is forgotten. When they step away, you finally put your hands down and walk back to your desk. Normally, you would have spoken with him but he couldn’t see you cry. Shinsou looks over his shoulder in attempts to get your attention, but doesn’t succeed. As the teacher returns, you ask to be excused for the restroom where you cried into your arms there. Even after all this time, you’re still an outcast.
A few minutes pass and you finally leave the bathroom. As you walk outside, you’re greeted by your long time friend. You pat your eyes quickly and croak out, “Toshi! What are you doing here?”
He smiles gently at you and gives you a warm yet quick hug. “I’m here to walk you back to class. I was worried… and I wanted to thank you. For you know standing up to them.”
You nod and walk with him. Your heartbeat calms down as you walk close together side by side. You take a deep breath as the classroom door approaches.
“I think you’re going to be a great hero.”

rev up! - rocket league with the bllk boys
ᯤ feat. rensuke kunigami, reo mikage, tabito karasu, sae itoshi  ᯤ tags/cw: all characters are aged up, they all hate the game to some degree except for reo he loves it ᯤ a/n: in case you don't know, rocket league is a game in which you play simplified soccer as a car. this is barely x reader anymore LOL i was just inspired watching my kid brother play and rage today || dividers by @cafekitsune part 1 [minecraft ver with the other main boys]
Tumblr media
rensuke kunigami:
ᯤ expects it to be like a normal football game at first. that is, until you explain the rules of rocket league - that there are basically no proper rules at all ᯤ he’s actually kind of appalled that you have to play one to four aside instead of eleven, and each match is only three minutes long ᯤ “offside! did you see that? that was clearly offside!” ᯤ (you, trying to stifle your laughter) “ren… there is no offside…” ᯤ he keeps playing it just to make you laugh but quits after two weeks ᯤ preferred game mode: hoops (because at least it’s not soccer he’s defiling)
reo mikage:
ᯤ is pretty good with a controller - he is nagi’s best friend, after all ᯤ he takes out his anger on the game. ramming into the other players’ vehicles, demolishing them mid-skirmish, pushing his own (bad) teammates out of the way to score goals ᯤ gets really good after a while and even starts streaming with nagi ᯤ as mentioned earlier he hates when the teammates he gets matched up with are really bad (that’s when the profanities come pouring out 🤗) ᯤ but he’s so good that he gets at least a five-point lead in every single game anyway ᯤ preferred game mode: classic 3v3, occasionally snow day (with the ice hockey puck)
tabito karasu:
ᯤ he constantly gripes about every single thing that he thinks is wrong with the game. ᯤ “why do i always get matched up with opponents who play together on the same xbox?? they can communicate that’s not fair” ᯤ (after an opponent knocks him out of the way) “ref! ref, that was definitely a foul. don’t tell me ya don’t think that’s a foul.” (there is no ref) ᯤ once he got yukimiya and otoya to play with him against rin, shidou and nagi  ᯤ and they won because rin, as previously established, has the gaming skills of a centenarian. not even nagi could save his team from demise ᯤ but he’s always nice to you when you play with him :) ᯤ preferred game mode: heatseeker
sae itoshi: 
ᯤ loathes the game with all his heart. his gaming reflexes are pretty decent but he thinks the game is stupid and an insult to soccer. (“you're never going to be able to play soccer with cars.”) ᯤ regularly challenges rin to 1v1s. rin never refuses and seeing his brother lose so spectacularly fuels sae’s ego ᯤ he got twitter and insta and tiktok just so he can clown the game. his angry rants on car soccer rack up hundreds of thousands of views in mere hours. rocket league reaches out to him for a sponsorship deal. sae’s manager makes him say yes. ᯤ preferred game mode: he hates the game, didn’t you know? if he had to choose though it would probably be classic 3v3. b-but it’s not like he likes it or anything!!

Hello! I hope you’re doing well :) this is my first time requesting honestly but i was wondering if i can request for a steb x reader fluff or nsfw oneshot story about the reader starting their job as an enforcer in the same station as steb 🥺
They have a friendly coworker relationship that slowly became more than that. They started to interact after getting paired together from their schedules or go on patrols together. They figured to interact with each other using notes or sign languages and leading the conversation to subtle flirting and maybe some slight nsfw moments. Eventually they developed feelings for each other too
I LOVE YOUR WRITING AND I’M SORRY IF THE TERMS IS A BIT CONFUSING ITS MY FIRST TIME USING THEM BUT I’LL BE SO HAPPY WITH WHATEVER YOU’LL WRITE IT 😭
Thank you so much dear! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Steb is such a sweetheart, I love writing for him ❤️❤️❤️
Tumblr media
︶⊹︶︶୨ Steb x GN!reader ୧︶︶⊹︶
Wordcount: 1011
Tags: Date, fluff, slow dance, dessert
request open for best boy Steb
Tumblr media
You smile as the waitress of your favorite cafe brings you their new melted chocolate lava cake and Steb’s usual consomme. 
“Thank you, Lara.” You thank her. 
“You’re welcome, honey. Have a nice one together.” She smiles back. 
You two are a regular of the place and know everyone by name, they know you always try their new dessert while Steb always has a consomme. You inhale with delight under the setting sun of Piltover, looking at the park next to the terrasse where families slowly stroll around, both of your helmets on the table. 
A simple rendez-vous à deux. 
You take your spoon and dive into the cake to see the fondant inside, giggling with excitement while Steb starts eating his consomme with more dignity. 
“So! You were telling me you’ve been chosen to be part of Caitlyn Kiramman’s special task force?!” You ask. 
Steb silently nods, sipping his soup, but his ears shake with a single tremor or excitation. 
“Oh my gods, Steb!” You melt, “This is wonderful! It was time they noticed your hard work! Are you happy?” 
He pats his lips with his napkin, eyes focused as he thinks before nodding frankly. He puts down his napkin and starts signing his true thoughts. 
“I am very proud of you too! You deserve it! I heard you will have new weapons. With the hextech thingy?” 
Steb frowns and shakes his head, his cheek fin waving with displeasure as he talks to you with his hands. 
“I never knew you disliked hextech that much... It interferes with your senses ?” 
He curtly nods, his lips pressed in a thin line. 
“You get migraines? Oh... Did you ask for non-enhanced weapons then?” You slow down your cake tasting to focus on your deary. 
He nods again. 
“Tonfas, obviously.” You nod too, “Your favorites. You think you’ll be able to manage Maddie’s overflowing enthusiasm?” 
He tilts his head left and right, as to say he isn’t sure. 
“I know she tends to bypass your authority, but she will be forced to behave with Kiramman. Everything is going to be all right I am sure!” 
He shrugs but doesn’t appear all worried about all of that. You silently look at him with sparkling eyes as he elegantly eats. 
He is so handsome! 
And so, so nice... How many times did you see him help a child with a scratched knee? It never fails to make you melt on the spot. 
He blinks his third eyelid, noticing your stare. 
“Yes, it’s you I am looking at, handsome.” You cheekily smile. 
He coughs as his gulp goes the wrong way, hiding his mouth behind his hand. You hand him your own napkin with a chuckle. 
He clears his throat, a rosy shade on his cheek. 
“I love admiring your face. It is so well made.” 
He coughs once more before calming down and taking back control of his expression. He turns his head as a jazz band arrives under the gazebo as night falls on Piltover. 
You observe the musician taking out their instrument while eating and smear some chocolate on your face. 
“Oh!” You laugh. 
Steb stands up and leans forward, taking your chin between his fingers to wipe off your lips corner with his thumbs, coating it with the chocolate. 
He sucks it with a hum of appreciation, savoring the chocolate while you look at him flabbergasted. You brush where he touched you with the tip of your fingers, a sparkle of excitement in your heart, breath short. 
He looks at you and grins, satisfied with his effect. 
The band starts to play and he puts his spoon dow, seizing your hand, inviting you to follow him. You stand up and let him pull you near the gazebo where other people started to gather. He turns toward you and slides his hand in your back, taking the other in his gentle grip and starts to tenderly slow dance with you. 
You bite your lower lips, eyes fixed on his as the rosy shade is back on his cheeks and his ears twitch with excitation. You feel him a bit tense in your arms, the result of the wounds he received during the memorial attack... He reassures his grip on your back, pulling you just a bit tighter and guiding you in a gentle dance, spinning endlessly in each other embrace. 
You just cannot detach your eyes from one another. 
You let go of his hand to clasp both of yours behind his solid neck while he circles your lower back, swaying lovingly with the soft jazzy tune. 
All around you candles are being lit, surrounded by other couples under the shiny stars for a light and sacred moment of intimacy. He pulls your hips closer as his ocean eyes lower from your gaze to your cheekbones, to your nose... 
To your lips. 
He licks his own lips as he approaches his face from yours terribly slowly to give you all the time to evade if you ever wanted it. 
Like you ever wanted to evade a kiss from him. 
You press your mouth with a gasped giggle, surprising him with your eagerness. But he slowly closes his eyes in the kiss, savoring the moment. 
You gently kiss each other, your lips dancing in harmony, fondly rediscovering each other like a first time. 
It feels so... right 
And good. 
Like it was meant to be all along. 
All those missions, those patrols, those training sessions together, and those stolen moment hidden in the closets of the barracks, all cumulated for this suspended instant. 
You part very slowly and breathless, hugging each other tight like never before, forehead against forehead, eyes in eyes. 
Anonymous in the crowd but lovers as everyone else, embraced by the soft music for a magic evening. 
 “I love you, Steb.” You confess, your heart in a frenzy. 
He presses your foreheads together, gently cradling you with a light purr, his cheek fins twitching with joy. 
Happy to be alive and together for a moment of frivolity among the chaos.

Deadpool and Wolverine: KCAU Christmas Special
[Authors note: it is a Christmas miracle that I got this chapter out today... Merry Christmas! The next chapters will still be Christmas themed well into the new year]
Part 3
Home coming.
The flight was nice, and it was pleasant to not be molested by the TSA and hobble around waiting for them to finish looking at Greg's Cain. Always annoying, what could anyone possibly sneak in a cain that wasn't an already affective weapon other than the cain itself! And don't say a sword because those cheap things can ba spotted a mile away everyone knows your gothy cain with a cobra head handle has a long knife on the end of it we here it clanging every step you take.
Ellie picked them up at the Wheeler airport, excited to see her bother and his friend.
She was right there on the tarmac. The second James was off the plane, she jumped, grabbed him in a hug, and spun him around with a strength one wouldn't suspect from the 6 foot tall women of average looking build.
I've missed you so much! Though you did spoil my fun. I was going to kidnap you myself if you didn't show up! I even had a big bag picked out, I was going to put you in!
I hope it was a nice one. You know how burlap is chaffing.
It was a big red Santa bag... wanted to be festive for dad!
Ellie was always playfully teasing of her brother... typical of most siblings... but in career and personality, she more openly took after their father Wade. Ellie was a premier assassin and jr executive of MFM "the Family business" Ellie was in charge of the black ops devision, doing "wet work" for world governments that want culpable deniability when someone turns up dead. Ellie loved her job, her dad's, and her brother and sister... everyone else should probably live in fear.
Greg looked at her, Ellie was of darker complexion than James. but in the face, you could tell they were related, James had told him that technically, she was his half-sister... but they never regard each other as such. That was his sister full stop, they grew up together and only ever knew Wade and Logan as parents.
In a bubble gum sweet voice, she informed James and Greg that this year was going to be a blowout!
It's going to be great this year, little brother Aunt Vanessa and Dermot, Uncle Colossus, Peter, Jeff, Laura, Warhead, Yukio, Dopender, Father Kurt, and Uncle Morph are all going to be at Christmas eve dinner. Dad is making his famous Lasagna and Papa cought two pheasants with his bare fucking hands for Christmas day dinner it was amazing! Don't worry, Greg. we'll have prime rib for Christmas dinner as well if you find the bird to gamey.
Wait... circle back... Uncle Morph is going to be in town... will he be staying the night?
They got him a room at the Westin Crown Center... why?
You know why!
Oh.... ooohhhh, ha! I guess Dad and Papa really are going to have a Merry Christmas.
What's wrong with having your uncle Morph staying the night? ... and why do half of the people mentioned have weird names? Morph, Warhead, Colossus?
Morph's birth name is Kevin... he just doesn't like to use it... and frankly, dads not a fan it either, so that's what we all call him. Just a preference. As for why it's a concern... I'll tell you later.
Don't be so shy, James. You brought him home for Christmas, so he must be family... its ok if he knows that our parents and uncle Morph fuck nasty any time he's in town.
Jesus christ, Ellie! You know how uncomfortable talking about them like that makes me. *visibly shudders*
I can't help that our parents are possibly the hornie-est men to ever walk the earth! Might as we joke about it.
Well, that totally makes sense about James then.
I don't like where you're going with this House!
What, the offspring of concupiscent old men is clearly bothered by overt sexuality because he, in truth. has had three divorces because he can't keep it in his perverbial pants!
I knew i liked you Greg! *laughs loudly*
I'm not a psychologist, but it sounds like he's got you nailed down, little brother
As she said this, she turned the car into the driveway of the tower they'd both called home. She again let out a chuckle when she saw in the rear view mirror the deep shade of red James was currently blushing.
Tumblr media
One park place hadn't changed much. At least not in a way one could detect. The on-site security was now directly contracted through MFM at very reasonable rates, and every floor had been fitted with bomb resistant glass... at least since "the incident" in 2058... Logan and Wade had paid through the teeth for that little upgrade. But other than that, they were actually at peace with their neighbors. 700 W 31st Street was probably the second most secure building in the city. The only one more secure being the Federal Reserve Bank building down the street. Things were going well until they got to the 19th floor, and Greg triped James coming out of the elevator.
My dad probably saw that! Ass!
Saw what! I don't know what you're talking about. Also, are you gonna run to your daddy all week with your problems?
He's actually probably right... there are security cameras... this is the most secure floor in the building. Just our place and neighbor Dave... you're cute, Greg, but I'd take it easy joshing with your boyfriend... dad wouldn't hesitate to shoot you point blank if he thinks you're a threat to one of his babies.
He's not my boyfriend...
Sure James....
See what I have to deal with Ellie!? He breaks my heart!
They approached the ornate double doors that lead into the condo... Penthouse would be a better description. They were actually new. A veneer of teak wood covering inch thick steel with intricate carvings of bullets, swords, claws, guns, and battle scenes. It looked like it belonged on the front of a temple dedicated to God's of war and violence... Ellie put a key in the door, unlocked it, and opened it.
No sooner than they had passed the threshold like a flash Logan was on all fours running at them. Closing the distance, he pounced arms wide open, knocking all three on the ground. Sniffing them and kissing their cheeks, Logan allowed himself to go a little feral and play rough with his kits. It was the holiday season after all... The fact that Gregory was caught in the crossfire knocked on his ass into the dog pile was another problem entirely!
Tumblr media
My babies! ... and some guy? *Sniff* Why do you smell a little like Wade!?
For the love of god, please get off my leg!
Logan stood up and helped Greg to his feet. James handed him his cain as Greg quickly pulled out a pill bottle from his jacket pocket and dry swallowed three pills.
By this time, Wade had already walked up to them.
Sorry about my husband. He's very excited to see all of you. I hope you're ok... If you're not, I hope Kitten had you sign the traditional family liability release forms...
Is that a thing now?
It's not Kitten. Wade extended a hand to Greg... he'd slipped a hundred dollars in his hand by way of apology... I know who you are! It's nice to finally meet you, James talks an unhealthy amount about you. I always did like a guy named Hugh. He said, winking at us.
*Confused* my name is Gregory House, Mr. Wilson.
Sure, it is sun-shine, also Ick don't call me that... it's Wade, or Deadpool if ya nasty...
Leaving Greg to deal with pleasantries by himself, Jams grabbed his and House's Bags. Turned right and walked down the halway like he'd done thousands of times in the past. He detected the faint smell of cigar smoke as he walked past the office. It triggered a little nostalgia. It smelled like his dad Logan and the bear hugs he'd given him when he was a child. He always fet safe in the man's massive arms... truth be told for all the madness of his father's... James always felt safe at home. They were a danger to themselves and definitely others... but not him. They'd do anything for him. He was always quietly grateful for that aspect of his childhood.
He'd walk all the way down the hall... last door on the left. His room, the room he was born in, as a matter of fact. Apart from being immaculately clean, it was just as he'd left it since he moved out. It was December. The sun was already setting over the horizon... soon, the automatic blackout curtains would come down and block the entire east wall of his room made entirely of floor to ceiling windows.
instagram
Before that though the golden glow reflected off the fresh snow was brilliant. In the distance he could make out the top of the massive tree in the heart of crown center. The view is bitter sweet... he remembers loving christmas as a kid... it was the only time for sure that both his dad's were home and "Santa" never held back... it was always an embarrassment of riches... now... now christmas was exhausting... there was never enough time, and Wade Wilson didn't exactly loose his zeal, he got older and leaned more into to christmas... James knew he was due to get roped into a big family Christmas sooner or later... he skipped the last two Christmases... his dad face timed him so that he was sure to see the tears...
He tossed the bags on the ridiculously large Texas king bed... he'd unpack later, unless Mrs. Mangracina, the ancient cleaning lady who'd been working there since before he was born, decided to do it... not one of her official responsibilities, but she did shit like that anyway... she fancied herself a butler for the family at times. to James, she was more of a second grandma, only Italian flavored... she and his grandma Al were actually pretty close. They'd go to bingo and Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church on Broadway. She'd confided in the family that she lost her best friend when Althea passed... James fully expected her to be there at Christmas Eve dinner, not as an employee but as a guest and member of the family. A lot of people were going to be there...
If Luara was going to be here she'd take up the guest room... no one was allowed in Grandma's room since she'd passed away... house was in For a surprise... they'd be sharing a bed this week.
Later that night at dinner, Gregory had pulled all of his usual antics and made himself look like a perfect ass... he'd eaten food off James's plate... to the point of just straight-up switching plates with him. telling embarrassing stories and wildly inappropriate jokes at the table... the only people laughing, being Wade and Ellie. They didn't realize what kind of gasoline they were throwing on the fire by encouraging him... or maybe they did. Agents of chaos the both of them. Logan was stoic in the face of it as usual, while Laura actually popped her claws and announced that's enough when she thought Greg punched James a little too hard when he was punctuating a joke at his expense.
The perfect start to a week that was guaranteed to get more chaotic... shortly after Greg and James retired to his bedroom...
James had already showered and settled in to bed with a book when Greg exited the bathroom in his pajamas.
What the fuck is that!
Pointing on at the grayish blue ball of wrinkles cuddling on the bed...
It's Merry, Greg. Do you need an MRI you saw my dad feeding here when we had dinner...
Sorry, let me rephrase. Why the fuck is that... specifically why is it in the bed... Marry has always slept with me since I was little... you didn't let Hector in the Bed?
I didn't... hold on... how old is that dog?
Well, my parents had her before I was born... so tack on a few years, I'd say 47 give or take.
That's impossible...
She's like my Dad's... I'm not a hundred percent certain she can die. My Aunt Vaness told me that Mary is an alternate universe version of my dad, Wade... that's why she's always been close with me... I'm her puppy.
Kitten... puppy... you got any more weird pet names?
Why... you feeling romantic?
Greg looked at James with disgust and then shot a look at the dog with less disgust and more incredulity. Quickly changing the subject.
Thats cute and all, but I'm going to sleep on the couch. I can't have a dog jumping on me or you kicking me...
*Sigh* Greg, this bed is so big it'd take effort to kick you... but also, I promise you'd be less comfortable out there. Unless you got ear plugs.
Why?
this is the best room for the noise you can't hear anything on this side of the condo... you don't want to be within ear shot of the Master bedroom here in about an hour... even with all the soundproofing... Also, having guests in the house doesn't always stop them from fighting.
They fight, every night?
Like clock work... some nights are worse than others, sometimes they throw things... I'm almost certain they throw each other across the room. But that's not the worst of it... first comes the screams of pain... and then... I can't believe I'm saying this much less thinking about it... the screams of Ecstasy...
They fight as foreplay?
Yes, and I haven't been ok since I was 15 and figured that out... if my Grandma was still alive, she'd go into great detail about how they used to be worse.
Wait, isn't the guest room next to their room?
Laura Went to a bar, she won't be home until their *gags* done.
Fine... you and your rodent mother scoot over.
Careful how you talk to Mary... she's smarter than most people give her credit for...
Noted, I guess since she's your mom, she's in here chaparoning... so hands above the blankets tonight.
He winked at the dog, who shockingly winked back. Greg shook his head as he got into bed using a few extra pillows to build a barricade between his bad leg and Wilson who despite how big the bed was, is a notorious sleep kicker.
We'd better get some sleep... it's going to be a long week.
Wilson turned out the lights and slowly sleep overcame them.

I’m a firm believer that mayhem shouldn’t be clawing at Raph’s face like that in the series, that big teddy bear in red did NOTHING wrong! 
So what if Raph’s s/o has a pet and the cat just loves him?? Like Raph meets his partners cat for the first time and the cat is just like “New friend?? Big tall friend?? New big tall friend!! :D” 
Cat Knows Best (Fluff)
Rise!Raphael x reader
Tumblr media
A/N: I’m pretty sure that you are talking about ROTTMNT, as I don’t remember any character or being called Mayhem going wild on Raph’s face, other than in Rise. Anyway, here is a little short and cute one for you. I myself am a big cat lover, so I find this idea adorable. As said before, it’s not very long, but I still hope you’ll enjoy❤️
Tumblr media
(C/N) = Cat’s name.
Warnings: None❤️
Tumblr media
“Are you sure they’re going to like me?”, Raph asked you, growing ever more nervous as you looked for the key to your front door.
“You sound like you’re about to meet my parents”, you chuckle, finally finish your keys out from the pocket of your jacket, before putting the designated key into the lock. “It’s just my cat, Raph”.
“I know but…”, Raph said, shifting his weight from one foot to another, your large boyfriend nervously playing with his fingers. “You know about the time with Mayhem”.
Of course you knew about what had happened with Mayhem. You had been there, watching how April’s pet had clawed up your boyfriend’s face. How could you forget? You were the one that sat with Raph and cleaned his cuts, making sure he was comfortable.
“I remember what happened with Mayhem, but Raph, (C/N) is not like Mayhem. They’re a cat. Mayhem is… whatever Mayhem is. (C/N) isn’t going to attack you like that”, you told your boyfriend, before pushing the door to your apartment open.
“But what if (C/N) won’t like me”, Raph said, following you into your entrance hall, where you took off your shoes and jackets. “Maybe animals just don't find me very likeable”.
“Raph”, you said with a hand on the door handle to your living room. “This is not to be mean, but you are part animal. So are your brothers and your father, and last time I checked, they seemed to find you very likeable”.
“I meant non mutated animals”, Raph mumbled, before he unsurely followed you into the living room, where you had already started looking for your cat.
It didn’t take long before you found them, cuddled up on your couch taking a nap. Raph noticed the way your face lighted up at the sight of your cat, before slowly making your way over to the couch. Standing nervously in the middle of the room, Raph watched as you sat down on the floor, so that your face was much more on level with your cat. With a soft hand you smoothed it over your cat's fur, causing it to let out a small sound, opening their eyes ever so slightly at you, with the faint sound of purring rumbling from within.
“Hey, babe”, you said in a soft baby voice, smoothing your hand over your cat once again. “Did I wake you up?” Your cat answered by stretching out, before rolling onto their side, exposing their stomach to you, eyes still halfway closed. “Aw, (C/N)”, you cooed, wrapping an arm under your cat, before taking them up in your arms. “I would let you sleep, but I have someone for you to meet”.
Raph found himself growing even more nervous as you turned with your cat in your arms, before making your way towards him. The cat in your arms seemed unbothered, looking at Raph with still half closed eyes, purring much louder than before. Rubbing your car just behind its ear, you presented Raph before them.
“(C/N), this is my boyfriend Raphael. You know, the one I told you about”, you said.
Raph chuckled, finding the way you talked to your cat adorable. “Nice to meet you, (C/N)”, Raph said, playing into the way you were talking to your cat. This seemed to cause you much joy, your cheeks turning a light pink as a smile spread on your lips.
(C/N) suddenly became restless in your arms, jumping from your embrace to the floor, where they landed on their feet, their tail up high in the air. This caused Raph to suck in a breath, staring at your cat with his eyes wide, fearing what (c/N) was about to do. (c/N), with their eyes still half way closed, walked calmly towards Raph’s legs, before they started rubbing the sides of their face against the legs of your boyfriend.
You and Raph looked from the cat to each other, smiling, Raph even letting out a sigh of relief.
“See”, you said, resting your hands on your hips with a satisfied smile. “Told you they would like you”.
As the rest of the day went on, it became clear just how much (C/N) liked your boyfriend. They adored him. As you and Raph cuddled up on the couch in order to watch a movie, (C/N) jumped straight into his lap, enjoying the attention they got from the two of you as you petted them.
During dinner, you and Raph found (C/N) roaming under the table, snuggling up against Raph’s legs at any opportunity. Heck, they even tried to joy Raph in the bathroom when he had to use the toilet.
And as you and Raph were getting ready to call it the night, slowly getting ready for bed with Raph staying the night, (C/N) was right there, ready to cuddle up with the two of you in your bed. And as you laid there, with one of Raph’s strong arms beneath you, your head resting against the chest area of his plastron, you watched (C/N), who had gotten comfortable in the middle of Raph’s plastron, already sleeping soundly, purring louder than ever.
“Told you”, you teased Raph, smiling at him before getting further comfortable against him. Raph only rolled his eyes at you with a smile. There was no point in disputing the fact that you were right. (C/N) liked him.

War of Rohirrim fic ideas I wish we had like yesterday
I'm terrible at writing so I just suffer with those plot bunnies but who knows maybe someone like them?
Haleth switch up:
The haleth 1 from silmarillion gets swapped (body or just soul both very funny)with the Haleth2 from War of the Rohirrim.
Both Haleths are very battle ready.
Haleth 1 takes Hera under her wing and and takes this situation to at least safe someone's brother. So hama lives!
You can even put some angst into this!
She is literally yeeted into the future,her clan doesn't even exist anymore or something like that.
She also travels with Hera and Olwyn around or becomes queen! Again many possibilities!
Haleth 2 takes very quickly care of the orcs. I so want him to get shipped with Caranthir too. That would be hilarious.
He also takes one look at the women around him desperately fighting and wanting to fight and thinks about his sister. They all now got a big brother who makes shield maiden out of them.
He also literally refuses to belive he time traveled. It would be very funny if he is in original haleths body and just goes with it.
Olwyn × Targg enemies to lovers/second spring/found family
I have multiple scenarios in my head.
1. Targg survives the stabbing and gets saved by some loyal wild men.
They die looking for food (he doesn't know that) he then is thinking about his uncertain future and doesn't know what to do. Hera and olwyn are traveling near him and get attacked by some orcs. They run. Meet targg. He kills the orc. He ask if they saw his friends. They are dead. Much sad. He tags along because he is usefull. Olwyn threatens him with a sword. He likes that. You know the rest. Push and pull. Sad backstories. Funny found family things. Hera basically gets a new cool dad. Foreboding. Meeting elves and dwarves. Exploring endless possibilities.
2. I call this Hama using that clever mouth he had.
No, not in that way. Perverts
He convince Targg too look closer at Wulf who is already very crazy.
Targg saves Hama and gets injured.
Targg becomes part of the Rohirrim and helps them. Again many possibilities and a other view in culture. Much sad.still ship him with olwyn.
3. New character or even self inserts!
A wild men/women disagreed with the kidnapping of the princess and secretly helps her escape. Time passes. Wulf is getting more and more crazy.
Some good wild men form a group and they leave to warn Rohan. Saving some of the people or even Haleth! Nice.
Perfect scenario for every ship you want except wulf. Deep dive to some cool culture and different views! Cool wild men armor. Food. You can go nuts with this one.
Wulf redemption
Wulf dies. Sees his life and his treatment and his wrong doings. He gets a second chance. He is not suddenly 100% good but he feels really bad how he literally destroyed everything around him. Let him see hera defend him. Targg talking calmly to him and being loyal and he ruined everything. Angst. But a chance!
A new try. He saves his dad(because he loves him) and still gets banned but now he is not the one that starts a war. Shit it is his dad! Going crazy and very dangerous. Wulf leaves him. He is devastated. everything is worse then before. But surprise! Targg comes with him! (Wulf cries a little here)
Wulf know tries to warn Rohan but that is very difficult when you are banned. He tries to get to Frealaf thinking he is the most calmest but meets Haleth on a accident.
Haleth is wary but takes the threat serious. He also sees wulf disheveled looks and decided to basically become his brother-hen (motherhen but MANLY)
This is a healing fic with no shipping. Just bromance. Wulf realizing that Hera does love him but not in a romantic way. He gets a new family.
I want him to die dramatically to save Hera and he kills his dad or something.
Wulf moves on with a light heart.
That's all that is running around in my head.
I want those fics on next Monday yes ❤️
No please if someone see this and wants to use that just go ahead and send me a link please!!! I want to read everything!

hi!! i would like to request sakusa having a very cheerful girlfriend who gradually changes her appearance little by little, he doesn’t notice it because he thinks she’s beautiful in any way, like lets say she used to have this fluffy wavy hair then she just smoothen it and her clothes used to have fun patterns on them now its just plain. then one day he just goes “what happened to your hair?” And she just breaks down because she did all that so that she could fit into his ‘type’. you can make it as fluffy or as angsty as you wantt, thank youu sm💗💗
Tumblr media
𝐊𝐈𝐘𝐎𝐎𝐌𝐈 𝐒𝐀𝐊𝐔𝐒𝐀 fit in word count ; (777) content warning ; (first time writing for him BEAR WITH ME, curly hair! reader, insecurity, angst to comfort, profanity, crying)
Tumblr media
It starts off small. So small, in fact, that Kiyoomi convinces himself that he’s imagining things.
The first thing he notices is small. A mute blue hoodie instead of your usual bright yellow one. If he were anyone else, he wouldn’t have even noticed it. He thought it was odd at the moment, but assumed you just hadn’t done laundry.
The next thing he notices is that you’ve been gradually replacing your loud jewelry— different shaped beads of all shapes and colors— with simple, silver jewelry. He wants to comment on it, but he assumes you’re just trying out new things. You’ve always liked to do that, right?
When you start straightening your hair more often and wearing it in slick-backs, he’s confused. You’re basically a shell of your past self by now. Fun, loud colors turned to dark, muted colors. If he was paying closer attention, he would compare it to his own closet and see the similarity. Jewelry that clinks against each other with each step, is now a simple chain with a heart pendant. Your beautiful curly hair— now straight, hanging down your back as you do the dishes.
Kiyoomi sits at the dining room table, eyes narrowed as he pieces all of this change together. His chin is in his hand, his elbow on the table, one finger framing his face. He wants to say something— badly. But if he does? Who knows what will happen. Maybe you’re just growing. That’s a thing people do, right? People change over the years. Kiyoomi knows he sure as hell has.
“You straightened your hair,” he finally says, breaking the silence. He watches as you stop scrubbing the dish you're holding. “And you stopped wearing your jewelry.”
You hesitate to answer, he can see that. Your body twitches as if it’s going to turn around, but you don’t. You continue scrubbing at the dish. “I, um, got overstimulated. Couldn’t deal with the curls and the, uh, loud beads.”
Kiyoomi hums, because he knows you’re lying. There’s a shake to your voice that he can’t quite place.
“Do you not like it?” Your voice is quiet. Tentative. Timid. Something he’s never heard from you before.
He stands from the table and walks over to you, standing directly behind you. “I love you in all shapes and forms,” he says. “But you straightened your hair yesterday. And the day before that. And you put your jewelry in a box in the closet.” You turn to look at him, eyes widened a fraction. “Yeah, I saw it.” He frowns. “What’s going on? Why are you… changing yourself?”
You press your lips together and avoid his eyes. He takes your chin in his hand, making you look at him. His heart skips at the sight of tears on your waterline. “What’s wrong, Y/n?”
“I… I was just…” you can’t even get your sentence out. “You’re so clean. You and your family are… You’re nice and proper and rich and I am not. I am loud and obnoxious and I dress like an elementary school teacher and my hair is loud and big and I do not fit in with you.”
Kiyoomi is stunned. The words tumble out of your mouth, tears fall down your cheeks and Kiyoomi can’t move. His lips part in a desperate attempt to speak, but nothing comes out.
Kiyoomi has never been one for physical affection. Growing up, his parents never hugged him. His sister was much older, so she wasn’t around to fulfill that either. But in this moment, as the tears don’t stop and you’re practically choking on your own breath, Kiyoomi presses your face into his chest and wraps his arms around you.
“You are perfect just the way you are,” Kiyoomi mumbles into your hair. “I love your big, curly hair and I love the way you dress and I love you. You don’t need to change who you are just because you think you don’t fit in. You do fit in with me. And who gives a fuck what my parents think, hm? They don’t even know you, Y/n, but if they did, they would love you too. It’s not how you dress, or how you act, it’s you. I love you.”
Slowly but surely, your breathing steadies. You’re no longer choking on your own breath, no longer shaking. You keep your face pressed into his chest.
You pull away eventually and stare up at him with big, wet eyes. “I love you too.”
He presses another kiss into your hair and smiles down at you. “Good. Now, what do you want for dinner? I’ll make it tonight, okay?”

As I've been bouncing from place to place lately and meeting new people, I've been getting a lot of the "oh I never would have guessed you were trans! I couldn't tell!" types of comments lately.
On one hand, it's vindicating for me personally as my parents INSIST everyone can tell and I love seeing them proved wrong.
On the other hand however, it's just such an odd "compliment" to receive, mainly for the implicit (or sometimes explicit) sentiment of being "one of the good ones"
"I can get behind someone like YOU, you actually try to look the part!" The funny thing is, I don't.
I still dress the way I have for years. I still have the same mannerisms. Hell, until recently, I lived my daily life with an unbound chest. The only thing I actively changed was my hormones, and even then, I only have so much say in what that even DOES to my appearance.
I do not try to look the part. My long standing preferences with the addition of hormones happens to make me look the part. Not everyone has the same latent genes manifest when taking hormones. I know THOUSANDS of trans people out there are trying 10 times harder than me to "look the part" of their gender, but are still shunned because their genetics, clothing access, and medical care don't fit the bill.
Passing is not the be-all end-all of gender. Plenty can't, plenty won't, sometimes of their own volition or sometimes against their will. People's luck in the gender lottery shouldn't bar them from being seen as who they are. I am not better than my kin because I happen to slot nicely into your perceptions of gender.
You take us all. End of

A removed conversation between Robin and AL-AN that remains in the games audio files.
It’s a very interesting interaction, but I do see why they opted to leave it out. Though it is nice to see a longer conversation between them. Especially one where they talk out their reasonings for differing views, and one where Robin ends up expressing empathy for AL-AN.
Transcript under the cut
AL-AN: Thank you for undertaking the quest for an alternative storage medium.
Robin: I would really love it if you could stop referring to me as a storage medium.
A: Not you. Your body.
R: My body is a significant part of who I am and how I experience life.
A: It is different for us.
R: Clearly. Or you wouldn’t have been hanging out in that sanctuary waiting to hitch a ride with me.
R: How did you get in there anyway?
A: We came here in search of a cure for the Kharaa bacterium.
R: What? Thousands of years ago?
A: I do not experience time as you do, but yes, that is technically correct.
A: My body was infected before a vaccine could be developed. I uploaded my consciousness to the sanctuary for storage.
R: What happened to the others?
A: Some left, others perished. Over time my connection to them grew weaker… I cannot sense them now.
R: AL-AN… I—
[missing piece of dialogue]
R: Yes okay, but— what I was going to say was… I’m sorry.
A: …Why? You have done nothing wrong.
R: Not sorry like an apology. Sorry like I feel empathy.
A: Are all your human languages so… confusing?
R: All the ones I know are.

Naughty
~ Y/n's POV ~
I am here at an idols event with my boyfriend Jungkook and the rest of the members of BTS. Jimin looked at me, smiled and said " Hey Y/n, you look great. "
I smiled back at him and said " Thank you Jimin, you look handsome. "
" Stop flirting with my girlfriend Jimin. " Jungkook said and wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him.
" What? She really does look great. "
Jungkook smiled and said " She really does. " and kissed my temple which made me smile.
" Sit down, the event is gonna start. " Namjoon said.
" Okay. "
We sat down, Jungkook intertwined our fingers, bring our hands up, and kissed the back of my hand. I smiled at him, he pulled my hand away from his lips and set our hands down my thigh.
**
Jungkook looked at me and said " I'll be right back Jagiya, Namjoon is calling me. "
I nod my head and said " Okay love. "
He kissed my lips, I kissed him back, he walked over to his Hyung's, I looked around and saw Mingi and San from Ateez. I smiled and waved at them, they waved back and walked over to me.
Mingi and San smiled at me and said " Hey Y/n. "
I smiled back and said " Hey you two, how are you? "
" Good, how are you? " Mingi said.
" I'm good as well. "
" Where's Jungkook? " San said.
" He's talking to his Hyung's. "
San nod his head and said " You two are a really cute couple. "
I smiled at him and said " Thank you. "
He smiled back and said " You're welcome. "
~ Jungkook's POV ~
While I was talking to my Hyung's I saw Y/n talking to Mingi and San, San said something to Y/n which made her smile and he smiled back at her.
What did he told her that made her smile?
I heard Jimin said from next to me " Hey, is that Y/n? "
My jaw clenched and poke my tongue on my cheek, I couldn't help myself but to feel jealous.
" Yeah, that's her. " Hobi said.
Namjoon pat my back and said " Calm down Kook. "
" I am calm. " I drank my water and gripped on the bottle.
Jin was talking, I zoned him out and focused on Y/n. She was laughing at what Mingi said, I played with my lip piercing and run my fingers through my hair.
" Are you listening Kook? " Jin said.
I looked at him, nod my head, Jin continued to talk, I looked back at Y/n, San said something to her which made her smile.
I can't take it anymore, I need to get her away from them now before I loose it. She's mine and I can't waste another minute looking at them.
~ Y/n's POV ~
While I was talking to San and Mingi I saw that Jungkook looked a little mad. What's wrong, why does he look mad?
He walked over to us, Namjoon looked like he was gonna say something to him but kept his mouth shut. When Jungkook got to us, he looked at me and said " Let's go home. "
" But- "
He quickly grabbed my purse and my hand, he pulled me and walked. I followed behind him, looked at San and Mingi and said " Bye guys. "
" Bye. " They said.
I looked at Jungkook and said " What's wrong? "
" Nothing. "
I stopped walking and said " Wait, I left my phone on the table. * Let go of his hand * Let me get it. "
I was about to walk and out of the sudden Jungkook lift me up over his shoulder which made me gasp and said " Put me down, I need to get my phone! "
Jungkook walked, spanked my ass and said " I'll let Jimin know. "
" But- "
He spanked my ass again, I let out a sigh and said " Fine. "
I noticed that there's some people looking at us so I said " Put me down, people are looking. "
" Good, let them look. "
I blushed, looked the other way, cleared my throat and said " Jungko- "
" Be quiet. "
" What did I d- "
He spanked my ass and I said " Okay. "
When he got to the car, he put me down, opened the door for me, looked at me and said " Get in. "
I stepped in, he gave me my purse and closed the door, I looked at him as he walked walked the drivers door, he stepped in and said " Tell me, what's wrong? "
He ignored me and drove away, he run his fingers through his hair, the ride was quiet. I looked at him, looked down and fiddled my fingers.
I wonder what's wrong with him? He's never this quiet. There's something bothering him, I want to know so I can help him but he won't tell me.
When we got home, he opened the door for me, I stepped out and he closed the door behind me. We walked inside the house, with a blink of an eye, he pinned me against the wall which made me drop my purse on the floor.
Jungkook looked into my eyes and said " What were you doing talking to Mingi and San huh? Were you flirting with them? "
I shooked my head and said " No, we weren't flirting. "
" Really? It looks like you three were flirting to me. "
" I was just being nice and friendly to them. "
I could sense jealousy brewed up Jungkook.
He nod his head, poke his tongue on his cheek, I decided to play along with the idea that I caught him eyeing on other ladies at the event.
" What about you? I saw you eyeing on other ladies at the event. "
" Oh really? " He closed the gap between us.
I nod my head and said " Yes. "
He grabbed my hands, lift up my arms, pinned them above my head, leaned in, and kissed the left side of my neck and said " You know I would never do that, you're the only one I want. "
He gave my neck one last kiss, looked at me, leaned in, I was gonna kiss him but he moved back and said " Go wait for me in the room. I'll be right over. "
I nod my head and said " Okay. "
I walked over to the room, sat down on the bed, took off my heels and set them down on the floor. I got up, walked over to my vanity, sat down on the chair and took off my jewlery.
Jungkook walked in the room drinking his iced water, looked at me and said " Come here. "
I got up, walked over to him, he finished his water, and set the cup down on the nightstand. When I got in front of him, he bring his left hand to my back, and slowly unzipped my dress.
Once the dress is unzipped, I stepped out of the dress, he leaned in, our lips were about to touch, he unclipped my strapless bra and pulled away.
He looked at me and said " Go lay down in the bed. "
I didn't say anything or moved, he poked his tongue on his cheek and said " Don't make me repeat myself Y/n. Go lay down in the bed. "
I walked over to my closet, he let out a sigh and said " That's it. "
Jungkook walked behind me, grabbed my arm, pulled me close to him, lift me over his shoulder and walked to the bed.
He laid me down, I was gonna sit up but he said " Don't move. "
Jungkook bend down, grabbed something from under the bed, he got up some handcuffs, I gulped and said " What are you gonna do with that? "
He smirked as he's handcuffing my left wrist to the bed and said " This is part of your punishment. "
Once he handcuffed me, he grabbed a silk rope and begin to tie my feet to the bed. I gulped, he walked over to the nightstand, opened the drawer and grabbed the blindfold.
He closed the drawer, looked at me and said " Now, I'm gonna put this blindfold on you. "
Jungkook put the blindfold on me and said " Before we start, what is your safe word? "
" Purple. "
" Good girl. "
He kissed my lips but when I was about to kiss him back, he quickly pulled away which made me let out a sigh. I was gonna say something but let out a gasp when I felt something cold on left side of my neck and slowly going down to my chest.
" Relax Jagiya, it's just a ice cube. "
I bite down my bottom lip, Jungkook circled the ice cube on my left nipple, and I let out a soft moan.
~ Jungkook's POV ~
I moved the ice cube slowly down to her stomach, saw that she was trying to close her legs but can't due to them being tied to the bed.
I smirked, moved the ice cube down to her thighs, looked at Y/n and she arched her back. I bite my bottom lip, moved the ice cube to her inner thighs which made her let out a gasp and said " Oh fuck! "
I lightly spanked her inner thigh which made her gently jump and I said " Stay still. "
" Yes. "
I lightly spanked her inner thigh again and said " Yes, what? "
" Yes Daddy. "
I smirked and said " Good girl. "
I moved the ice cube up to her stomach, leave it there and let it melt. Y/n let out a gasp, bite her bottom lip, I bring my hands to her boobs and cupped them with my hands.
Squeezed them, she let out a moan, gently pulled on her nipples, I squeezed her boobs again and moved my hands away.
I took off my clothes leaving me with my boxers, I grabbed the leather riding whip, run it slowly on her thighs, lightly spanked her left thigh which made her jumped a little.
" What was that? "
I smirked and said " It's okay, just trust me. "
" Okay Daddy. "
I moved the whip to her right thigh, lightly spanked it, moved the whip up to her stomach, and lightly spanked it.
Moved the whip to her chest, gently rubbed it on her left nipple and lightly spanked it which she said " Oh fuck! "
I moved the whip to the side, grabbed the vibrator, looked at her and said " Open your mouth and get this wet for me. "
Bring the vibrator to her mouth, she licked it which made me bite my bottom lip. I insert the vibrator in her mouth, she got it nice and wet for me.
I moved the vibrator out of her mouth, turned it on to level 2, and set it down to her left nipple which made her moan.
Moved the vibrator to her right nipple, she bite her bottom lip and leaned her head back. I bring the vibrator down to her left inner thigh, moved it up and down slowly.
Moved the vibrator to her clit which made her let out a moan, leave it there and watched her try to close her legs.
" You're gonna be a good girl for me? "
Y/n nod her head and said " Yes Daddy, I'll be a good girl for you. "
" Good, then you're gonna be a good girl and take whatever level I want on the vibrator. Okay? "
Y/n gulped and said " Yes Daddy. "
I put the level to 4, with my right hand, I bring it down to her pussy, and felt her wetness. I licked my lips, looked at her and said " You're so wet for me Jagiya. Who got you wet huh? "
She didn't respond, I moved my fingers away from her pussy, put the level of the vibrator to 6, Y/n let out a loud moan and said " You did! "
I insert two fingers inside her pussy, fingered her slowly, looked at her and said " How does that feel Jagiya? "
She leaned her head back and said " It feels so good Daddy. "
I played with my lip piercing, fingered her a little faster, looked at her lips, leaned in, and kissed her lips. She kissed me back, I deepened the kiss and our tongues fought for dominance.
With my thumb I put the level up higher by two on the vibrator which made Y/n moaned against the kiss, I pulled away from the kiss, looked at her and fingered her deeper.
Y/n arched her back, moaned my name, I leaned in, kissed the left side of her neck and leave hickies. Kissed my way down to her chest, licked her left nipple, and blew air on it which caused her nipple to harden.
I licked her nipple again, sucked on it, fingered her faster, she moaned and said " Oh fuck Daddy. "
My mouth left her boob with a pop, I did the same attention to her right nipple, and insert more of my fingers inside her pussy. My mouth left her boob with a pop, kissed my way down to her stomach and kissed her left inner thigh.
I pulled my fingers away from her pussy which made her gasp, put the level up to 8 and saw her legs start to shake.
She moaned louder and I said " What is it Jagiya huh? Tell me, what's wrong? "
" It feels so good. "
" Yeah? " I insert my fingers back in her pussy, fingered her and heard her wetness echoing the room along with her moans.
I bite my bottom lip, played with my lip piercing and said " You're so fucking hot Jagiya.
Felt her clench against my fingers which made me quickly pull out my fingers from her pussy and moved the vibrator away from her pussy which made her let out a whine.
I turned off the vibrator, gently spanked her left inner thigh which made her jumped a little and I said " Stop or else I won't let you cum. "
She nod her head, I gently spanked her right inner thigh and said " Okay? "
" Okay Daddy. "
" Good girl. "
I gently spanked her clit which made her let out a moan, I rubbed her clit with my thumb, and spanked her clit again which made her legs start to shake.
Insert the vibrator inside her pussy, moved it in and out, with my free hand I gently pulled on her left nipple and fucked her with the vibrator faster.
I turned on the vibrator at level 4, looked at her, she leaned her head back, moaned and said " Oh fuck! "
I leaned in, kissed her lips, she kissed me back, our tongues fought for dominance, I won and pulled away from the kiss. Put the vibrator level up to 6, looked at her and said " You're gonna be a good girl for me and take it? "
She nod her head and said " Yes Daddy. "
A few minutes later, Y/n moaned louder and said " I'm gonna cum Daddy. "
I quickly pulled away the vibrator, turned it off, insert two fingers inside her pussy, and fingered her. Rubbed her clit with my thumb, looked at her and said " Hold it in for me Jagiya. "
I fingered her faster and deeper, the wetness of her pussy echoed the room, a couple minutes later, I looked at her and said " Cum for me Jagiya. "
She screamed out my name as she cummed on my fingers, I pulled them out of her pussy, and bring them to my mouth. I licked and sucked on my fingers and let out a low moan.
I looked at Y/n, she catched her breath, I took off her blindfold, she looked at me with lust in her eyes and bite her bottom lip.
Leaned in, kissed her lips, she kissed me back, I pulled away from the kiss, grabbed the leather riding whip and watched Y/n gulped when she saw it.
I smirked, bring the whip to her chest, gently moved it around her left boob, and lightly spanked it. Y/n let out a gasp, I gently moved the whip on her body, leaving lightly spanks here and there.
When I got to her right thigh, I gave it a light spank with the whip, moved it aside and go down in between her legs. I kissed her left inner thigh, looked up at her, she looked at me and nod her head.
I kissed her right inner thigh, kissed my way to her clit, I flicked my tongue on her clit which made her let out a moan, I closed my mouth and began to suck.
" Oh fuck, that feels so good Daddy. "
I opened my mouth, flicked my tongue on her clit, got off the bed, untied the silk rope, and walked over to her. I uncuffed the handcuffs, looked at her and said " Go down on all fours with your back facing me. "
She nod her head and said " Yes Daddy. "
She go on all fours on the bed, with her back facing me, I looked down at her wet pussy and gulped. I rubbed my left hand on her wet pussy which made her let out a moan, I moved my hand away and spanked her left ass cheek.
I grabbed her arms, put them behind her back, and tied her wrists with the silk rope. I got out a flogger, rubbed her right ass cheek with my hand and said " You ready Jagiya? "
She nod her head and said " Yes Daddy. "
" Remember your safe word. "
" Yes Daddy. "
I whipped her ass with the flogger which made her gasp and I said " I'm gonna whip you 10 times and I want you to be a good girl for me count for me. "
" Yes Daddy. "
**
" 10. "
I set the flogger aside, rubbed her ass and said " You did good for me Jagiya. "
" Thank you Daddy. "
I grabbed the lube and butt plug, looked at Y/n and said " You ready Jagiya? "
" Yes Daddy, I am. "
I put the lube on her hole, insert the plug which made her let out a loud gasp and said " Oh fuck. "
Once the plug is in, I admired the purple heart gem, lightly spanked her left ass cheek and said " Now face me. "
She moved to face me, I took off my boxers, grabbed my hard dick, gave it a stroke, and saw my precum oozing out. I bite my bottom lip, looked at Y/n and said " Open your mouth for me. "
Y/n opened her mouth, licked the shaft of my dick to the tip, she licked the precum and swallowed it. She opened her mouth, I insert my dick in her mouth, and she began to give me a blowjob.
" Oh fuck. " I said and bring my hand to the back of her head.
She looked up at me and I said " Fuck, you look so fucking hot Jagiya. "
Y/n took more of my dick in her mouth, I leaned my head back, moaned her name and thrust my hips.
I looked down at her, she has her eyes closed so I said " Open your eyes Jagiya. "
She opened her eyes, we locked eye contact, she gently moaned against my dick, I let out a moan and said " Oh fuck Y/n. Keep going. "
I thrust my hips a little faster, she started to deep throat me, I moaned her name, and said as I looked at her " You're so fucking beautiful Y/n. I love you so much. "
A few minutes later, I said " I'm gonna cum Jagiya. "
She moaned against my dick, I moaned her name and cummed in her mouth. I pulled out of her mouth, she swallowed my cum, I looked at her and said " Go turn around with your back facing me. "
Y/n did as she's told, I insert myself inside her pussy, she let out a gasp and a moan, I grabbed onto her hips and I began to fuck her.
She feels so nice and wet for me, I looked down at the purple heart gem and let out a moan. I leaned down, wrapped my hand around her neck, choked her and said " Oh fuck! "
I let go of her neck a little, whispered in her ear how good she felt, with my free hand, I spanked her left ass cheek which made her moan louder.
I kissed her cheek, pulled away, unwrapped my hand away from her neck, hold onto her hips and fucked her faster and rougher.
" Oh fuck! " Y/n moaned louder.
The room echoed with our moans and skins slapping each other, the headboard banged against the wall and I leaned my head back and moaned " Fuck, Y/n. "
I looked at her and said " You've been a naughty girl for Daddy. You're gonna take this punishment like a good girl. Can you do that for me? "
She didn't respond, I spanked her ass hard which echoed the room which made her let out a gasp and shouted " Yes Daddy! "
I wrapped my hand around her neck, choked her, and kissed her cheek. She closed her eyes, moaned louder and said " Oh fuck!! "
A few minutes later, Y/n moaned louder and said " I'm gonna cum. "
I moaned and said " Me too Y/n. Cum for me. "
I fucked her faster, she cummed first, I cummed after her, pulled out and untied Y/n.
Y/n moved, laid down on her back, I set the silk rope aside, hovered her, and kissed her lips. She kissed me back, wrapped her arms around my neck and deepened the kiss.
I insert myself inside her pussy, we both moaned against the kiss, I pulled away for the kiss, looked at her and saw her boobs bouncing up and down with every thrust.
Cupped her boobs with my hands, squeezed them and pulled on her nipples. She let out a moan, we looked at each other with lust in our eyes, our skins slapped against each other and she fisted the bed sheets.
I pulled on her nipples again, grabbed her legs, wrapped them around my waist, and fucked her rougher. Y/n wrapped her arms around my neck, pulled me close to her and kissed my lips.
I kissed her back, our tongues fought for dominance, I won, and we moaned against the kiss. Y/n run her fingers through my hair, gently pulled on it which made me moan against the kiss.
Y/n bring her hands to my back, rake her nails on my back, I moaned against the kiss, grabbed her arms and pinned them above her head.
I pulled away from the kiss, let go of her arms, looked at her and said " Rub your clit for me. "
Y/n bring her right hand down to her clit, rubbed it, and let out a moan. I looked at her boobs, squeezed them and pulled on her nipples.
" Oh fuck, Daddy! "
I moved my hands away from her boobs, looked down ar her clit, and said " Rub faster Jagiya. "
Y/n rubbed her clit faster, leaned her head back, and closed her eyes.
A few minutes later, we both cummed, I pulled out, sat down, looked at her, pat my lap and said " Come ride me Y/n. "
She straddled my lap, I cupped her face with my hands, leaned in, and kissed her lips. She kissed me back, I pulled away, gently bite her bottom lip, pulled on it and let it go.
We looked at each other, I cupped her boobs with my hands, squeezed them and pulled on her nipples.
Leaned in, kissed the left side of her neck, kissed my way down to her chest, and licked her left nipple. Sucked on it which made her let out a moan, run her fingers through my hair and gently pulled on it.
I moaned against her boob, my mouth left her boob with a pop and did the same attention to her right nipple. She insert herself inside me, began to ride me up and down, my mouth left her boob with a pop and I looked at her.
Our skins slapped against each other, I spanked her left ass cheek, which made her let out a moan and kissed my lips. I kissed her back, our tongues fought for dominance and I won.
She rode me faster and deeper, we both moaned against the kiss, I pulled away from the kiss, looked at her and said " I love you. "
" I love you too. "
I spanked her left ass cheek, she moaned my name, I pulled her close to me, and she kissed my lips.
I kissed her back, she pulled away from the kiss, I wrapped my hand around her neck and choked her. We both moaned each other's name, I spanked her left ass cheek and she grind her hips.
A few minutes later, we both cummed, she switched positions to reverse cowgirl and began to ride me. I moaned when I looked at the purple heart gem, spanked my right ass cheek and she moaned my name.
I grabbed her arms, pulled her close to me, I thrust my hips, she back is on my chest, I rubbed her clit fast and lightly spanked it which made Y/n gasp.
" Oh fuck, yes! "
I moaned and said " Who's my naughty little girl? "
She didn't respond, just moaned, I wrapped my hand around her neck, choked her, lightly spanked her clit and said " Who's my naughty little girl? "
" I am! "
" Good girl. " I went back to rubbing her clit.
I thrust my hips faster, let go of her neck, looked at her and said " Look at me. "
She turned her head, I kissed her lips, she kissed me back, I pulled away from the kiss, and said " How does that feel Y/n? "
" So good Daddy. "
A few minutes later, we both cummed, she got off me, I took off the butt plug, looked at her and said " I'm gonna run us a bath, I'll be right back. "
She nod her head and said " Okay. "
I walked over to the bathroom to the tub, run us a bubble bath, once it's ready, I walked over to our room, looked at Y/n and said " Jagiya, our bath is ready. "
I walked over to her, lift her up, walked to the bathroom, and set her down in front of the tub. She got in first, I went in after her, wrapped my arms around her, and gave her a kiss on her cheek.
Hugged her and said " You did really good Jagiya. I'm so proud of you. "
She hugged me back and said " Thank you. "
I showered her face with kisses, she turned to look at me, I leaned in and kissed her lips.
She kissed me back, pulled away and we relaxed a bit before we cleaned ourselves.
A few minutes later, we walked out of the bathroom wearing our pajamas, walked over to the bed, I looked at her and told her to sit down on the living chair while I changed the bed sheets.
She nod her head, walked over to the living chair and sat down. When I'm done changing the bed sheets, we laid down, Y/n looked at me and kissed my lips.
I kissed her back, she pulled away from the kiss, rest her head on my chest and said " I love you. "
I smiled, kissed her hair, pulled away and said " I love you too. "
We watched a movie, cuddled for a bit and fell asleep.

don't mind me getting to this ages after i said i would. merry chrysler to all of us we are catching UP on fics today!!!!! johnny davis first and foremost!!!!!!
OHmg you're just gonna kick it right off with Benny Cross Tension Hours???? absolutely devouring
And you really would never say it to his face, or anyone else’s for that matter, but you’ve even been considering the possibility that Benny might be part of the reason things with him and Betty didn’t work out. <- OHHHHOHOHO READER!!!!!!! YOU JUST MIGHT BE ONTO SOMETHING HERE!!!!!!
Tumblr media
Stuff, and other things and what not. <- idk if I've said it out loud before but i definitely say it in my head all the time: i fucking LOOOOOOVE the way you create such unique voices for all of your reader characters. you have so so many talents as a writer and this is DEFINITELY one of them!!!! each of your readers is so unique and fit so well to their respective stories i could weep
The way even you might’a liked him, had you never seen Johnny, of course. <- reader is so real for this. i, too, might have been bewitched by benny if i hadn't rolled up to that film in love with johnny davis six ways to sunday before the opening credits even came on-screen
Sure, you can share as long as everyone’s playing nice, you’re not spoiled or nothing. <- mmmmm this feels like a Famous Last Words typa moment but I've been wrong before so i will 👀 continue to watch closely 👀
Or if he does, he’s still two hundred miles back from dealing with the meaning of it, and you know he’s not planning on running nowhere on those knees of his, so it’s whatever, right? <- the way i spit my fucking drink out over this description of it all. mj you have THEE most way with words I'm kissing you on the mouth right now
“and I never come off no more, so don’t worry about it.” <- first of all, i love the whole leadup to this, of him showing them around like he's giving them a museum tour of Vandals History. on his tour guide shit forreal in the cutest way. but this little add-on had me cackling and kicking my feet. benny's the one flying over the handlebars now etcetc
“Hm, think I have maybe three ‘just under six foot jokes’ left in me,” you promise, “but I’ll spare you today.” <- I'm obsessed with them. if benny gets in the way of reader and johnny, EYEEEE will gladly date reader instead
Yeah, Vandal stuff and you stuff. Two hands at once. No more juggling. But, obviously, there are some Benny shaped parts of that, that don’t seem to be mixing too well at all. <- i am gnawing my way through this paragraph in my mind in the most satisfying way possible. i love the turmoil of it all.
Like Benny was some sort of mystical kind of guy, like he wasn’t really all the way real, or something. <- let's be real, benny is an ethereal thing right out of johnny's dreams that he doesn't remember having
You know which ones you prefer just by looking. And you really know which ones you wouldn’t be caught dead riding on. <- oh they are SOOOO real for this actually 😂 only one type of bike is passenger-friendly and they figured that out right quick lmaooo
So you stand, and it’s quiet, and he looks at the guys getting onto their bikes, engines growling and barking all at once, and you think, my God, you have never survived a silence like this. <- YODELING at the mental image of this. just. reader and benny. 🧍🏻🧍🏻. real shit lmao I'm weak i love them
or maybe he’s from Europe <- MJ YOU CANT DO ME LIKE THIS 😂😂😂😂 I'm fucking weak bro i cannot. i love this so much. i love that reader went from "horrible tragic accident that damaged him forever" to "European". bikeriders was a comedy before it was a tragedy, after all
“I know,” he says back. “Johnny talks about you.” <- OHHH LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!! benny speaks!!! benny spills the beans!!!!!!
To your surprise, Benny laughs at that, and shit, he’s as movie star pretty as you’d expect with a smile on his face. It just gets worse with this dude. <- oh i love this. i love this adventure of reader trying to figure out benny and just having the "oh no he's hot" moment 😂😂 plot twist: johnny and reader have to fight (fists or knives style) for benny 😂😂
“You been with the club long?” / “Feels like it,” he says. <- obsessed with this Old Man Trapped In A Young Man's Body type of answer. benny. a man of multitudes
“You never figure they don’t give names to people that might not stick around?” he says. <- the way that reader and i both went from cackling to real pensive over this
Tumblr media
his thigh’s resting against your shoulder and your neck’s half breaking just to look at him <- the way that if i was ever put in this position with him i would instantly be copping a public indecency charge for the things i would do next
🚨DANNY LYON SPOTTED IN THE NARRATIVE!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!🚨
but now you’re learning that this whole time they’ve had a walking talking wire tap rolling with them? Asking Q’s and getting A’s? <- crazy that you just come sweeping through here and decide that no one else will ever be able to match your prose. left none for the rest of us!!!!
“Nah. Spends a lot of time over at Kathy’s place.” <- the way I'm well and truly :smugpablo: rn despite the fact that also just....canonically....that's exactly what fucking happened 😂 but kay's dannykathy is in my head giving me brainworms so we are just going to have to run with that!
“I don’t want you talking to him,” he says, “about us. Can I ask that? Am I allowed to ask that of you?” <- i simply cannot piece apart all of the feelings that this little set of statements gave me. much to think about!!!!
“Well, usually,” he says, “when a guy’s going steady with someone—not to assume or presume, Johnny, every journey is a beautiful one—but, well, usually they bring ‘em along to these things.” <- mj the laugh i let out at this was so loud and genuine justin poked his head out from the next room over to ask me what was so funny 😂😂 i can HEAAAAR cal's voice in my head I'm fucking screaming. i love this so so much. kissing him and kissing you.
OHHHHH MJ WE ARE SO BACK, BABY!!!!!!!!!! this was so fucking phenomenal, not that i expected anything less. I'm taking the bikeriders away from jeff and giving it to you, actually. merry Christmas. 😌
white room - pt. 5
johnny davis x gn!reader, 18+, canon typical themes and language, 5.8k words, 5 of ? ao3 link | previous part a/n: hellow :3 we are back after an unexpected hiatus and lips finally gets to meet benny ! very exciting all round <3 i hope you like it and forgive me for falling off planet earth for a bit
Might sound kind of stupid, but recently, you been thinking that you’ve finally got it all worked out—about Benny, that is. Somewhere between the last time you saw him, and the Saturday of the picnic, Johnny’s weird kinda way of talking around him started making a whole load of sense. And it wasn’t just some little joke when he said he didn’t want you knowing Benny, it was pretty much sort of the truth, you think, hidden under all the hums and grumbles of him. He actually was cut up about it a little. Nervous, though someone like Johnny never aught’a be nervous about nothing. And you really would never say it to his face, or anyone else’s for that matter, but you’ve even been considering the possibility that Benny might be part of the reason things with him and Betty didn’t work out. 
Fuckin’ rat up the drain pipe sort of shit, right? Never saw it coming ’til it started scratching at your head one night. You were lying there staring at the ceiling and thinking, huh, Johnny talks about Benny the way you’d be talking about Johnny, should anyone ever ask you about him when you didn’t really wanna say nothing. Eh, he’s just some guy, you’d say, yeah, we hang around with each other, you know, doing stuff. Stuff, and other things and what not. 
Like, he’s got a hold on him, alright, the same one Johnny’s got on you. A real, steel grip, hold. You started off thinking well maybe it’s a jealous type of thing, you know, old guy wanting to step into the young buck’s riding boots, but it ain’t just that. Can’t be. Half of Johnny’s crew are ten years younger than him, but well, they aren’t Benny, right? And there’s something about the way he looks at him—the few times you’ve been around to catch it—something ‘bout the way Johnny watches him. And talks about him. And makes excuses for him, and the way he is. Sure, he may like him like he wants to be him, you know, foot taller, blonde, pretty as anything, but by the time Saturday rolls around and you’ve really sat on it for a while, you’re starting to think: well, what if he likes him the way every girl that ever meets Benny likes him? The way even you might’a liked him, had you never seen Johnny, of course.
Seems obvious once you’ve really put some time into the idea. Nothing about Johnny says he couldn’t be liking men the same way you do and, jeez, maybe you’re dumb for it, but even with all of that, you can’t find a single part of yourself that seems to mind. Johnny still treats you good, still makes the nights feel longer than the days—and he invited you to this picnic of theirs, which he says is only ever for wives and girlfriends and serious things like, so you figure you’re someone real important to him now, cause even if you aren’t one of those things, you’re something, right? And he did all of that with Benny around, so what difference does it make to you? Sure, you can share as long as everyone’s playing nice, you’re not spoiled or nothing.
Well, alright, maybe not share, you aren’t an angel—who is?—but right now, if Johnny likes Benny like he likes you, he sure don’t even know it yet. Or if he does, he’s still two hundred miles back from dealing with the meaning of it, and you know he’s not planning on running nowhere on those knees of his, so it’s whatever, right? Can’t fix nothing if it ain’t broke yet.
“You like dirt bikes?” he asks, while he’s dragging you across this damn field that you spent all morning riding for, grass wet from yesterday’s rain still. No place for any sort of picnic you’ve been to, but for Vandals, sure, it’s like a natural haven to them or something. 
“I never liked any sort of bike ’til I met you, Johnny.”
“Yeah,” he winds, like he knew as much but didn’t really care in the first place, “few of us are gonna race ‘em. See that track there?”
You see nothing but a whole load’a mud on top of another bunch of it. “Mhmm.”
“That’s where this whole thing started.” 
“And when you go spinning over the handlebars, that’s where it’ll end it up,” you say.
He laughs, but he goes on, “I’m serious,” through the smirk of it. “That’s where me and Brucey got the idea for the club in the first place. Well, that and, yeah.” He nods. “Here, when we was racing.” He waves toward the tracks in the dirt, and the bikes in the dirt, and the men that are fifty-percent fuckin’ dirt, like the whole lot is some sort of sacred ground to him, like he’s just a humble guide blessing you by bringing you here, then he says, “and I never come off no more, so don’t worry about it.”
And you like him enough to go along with it, cheesy Colby Jack that you are. “It’s something special,” you tell him, mostly meaning it. Well, all the way meaning it, but only in the way people look at scraps of metal in a museum cabinet, and think that it’s really something just cause the guys in tweed say that it is. 
“Benny race with you?” you ask him.
“No,” he shakes his head a little, “not his kind of…”
“What, you gotta be short like jockeys to race or something?” 
“No—“ he shoots a confused look at you, then realises that you’re joking, at his expense, and forgives you for it too, all in the same sort of moment, “—would you give it up with that?”
“Hm, think I have maybe three ‘just under six foot jokes’ left in me,” you promise, “but I’ll spare you today.”
“Yeah, you will.” And it’s as much a threat, as it is an invite, cause he’s smiling like a little something or other, and your lips find his in a real awkward, bumpy, kind of way, noses knocking as you walk, you know. Giggling and stuff. Real cutesy lovebird shit that you wouldn’t be repeating to no-one, if you wasn’t, well, you know.
“So where’d he come from then?” you ask, wrapping your free hand around the arm that you’re already attached to. Half-way close to crawling under his leathers, under the shirt and undershirt too, right under the curl of hair beneath that chain that he wears, if you could. “If it wasn’t the racing, I mean.” 
“Benny?”
“Yeah, Benny.” 
You should probably not be asking so much, now you know what you think you know—even if you don’t know it, and have just convinced yourself that you do—but it’s bothering you, well not bothering, but toying with you. He’s never wanted to say much about him and you figure you should take advantage of that sentimental look in his eye, for research purposes, of course.
“He just. He’s just always been around,” he says. “Came through one time needing something, yeah, and he stuck around when he found it. Like any of us would.” 
“You mean Kathy?” 
His face screws up, sort of like a wince almost. “No—me, the club. He needed someplace to be. Something to belong to, you know?”
“Yeah.” You know. 
“All just gotta have somewhere to belong.”
“And you ain’t let go of him since,” you think, not meaning to say it aloud, but saying it anyway, cause Hell, it’s the truth, whichever way you wanna look at it. 
He don’t like it of course. Tightens up right to the sides of his neck, and wrings his hand around the strap of the bag on his other shoulder. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
You shrug. “Nothin. It’s good he’s got you guys. And Kathy.”
Johnny nods. That, he can agree to, though he don’t look happy about it. You caught him and let him right back out again, cause you’re not looking to pick fights, and that bothers him as much as if you were, apparently. Keeps him all quiet and rigid as you finish up the trek to where you oughta be. 
The closer you get, the less barbaric it seems. Picnic benches, coolers, brave sorts on tartan blankets right on the rain-wet floor, but still, that sticky, dirt bike track in the middle, winding all over the place.
Not bad, all in all, suppose it is somewhere you don’t mind spending your Saturday so much. 
“Sorry,” you tell him, “for always poking my nose in.”
He squeezes your hand. “S’nothin. We’re mixing it up, right?”
Yeah, Vandal stuff and you stuff. Two hands at once. No more juggling. But, obviously, there are some Benny shaped parts of that, that don’t seem to be mixing too well at all.
You know, you and him haven’t talked once, or so much as breathed the same air at the same time, right, which isn’t too crazy, but would be if it goes on much longer than it has. Cause one time, when Johnny came by, he had Cal with him. And you said hi and stuff, before he went on again—well, it was real heavy on the stuff cause Cal talks exactly as much as you do—and another time, Wahoo and Corky were with him, yeah? And sorta, somehow, you met a few of them; not all, not properly, but a few, and never having more than a bit of small talk, you know, but it was something. 
But you never even got introduced to Benny, so you asked him once, and Johnny said that’s cause Benny is either with his lady, Kathy, or with the guys at the club, or on his own, doing something he shouldn’t. That’s it, supposedly. Course, you said, wait, what? You ain’t never gone nowhere alone with him, just you two? And he just shrugged and made a noise like you should quit talking about it, like you were asking something of him that he couldn’t explain. Like Benny was some sort of mystical kind of guy, like he wasn’t really all the way real, or something. Just a guy you only see when the light’s hitting the right place, or the stars are in a line, or some shit.
Well, today, you decided it’s gonna be different, and you’re gonna talk to him. Properly. You don’t got a choice, right? Cause you figure, you don’t know Johnny ’til you know Benny, and you’re getting real hungry for the full picture of him, if he’s gonna be around so much, that is.
“You mind sitting here while I…?” He points to the bikes, angling you toward the bench he’s apparently picked out for you. Front row, not even a splinter. High prize for the VIP. 
“Yeah,” you throw him a good smile, an easy one, “you go ahead. I’ll watch.”
He looks back at you, all sweet, lips curling, then pulls a helmet from that bag of his—cause apparently, these ones need ‘em, but the other kind don’t—and then he’s off, going like a kid. Half jogging, half walking, and heading right over there to the rest of them. 
They’re skinny bikes, these ones, kinda looking like street dogs. All wiry and bite-y, and a whole world different from the big, hulking, spoiled dogs of his usual sort. No shiny curves and nice painted metal here, just rahh, and grrr, and all that sort of shit. You know which ones you prefer just by looking. And you really know which ones you wouldn’t be caught dead riding on. 
You put your hands in your pockets and wait, looking all sorts of all over the place, cause the racers are chatting still, and no-ones going yet, and that bench actually looks as wet as it is rotten, so you got nothing much else to do other than stand there, looking about you some. 
This can’t be all of them, you don’t think, cause you see some faces you know, and a whole load that you don’t, but no where near enough to be their chapter and the new one combined. But then, is it really all that surprising that Vandals, wherever they’re from, aren’t used to turning up on time? It’ll be nearly evening before it’s a full turn out, no doubt, and, God, standing in a field that long? You had no idea what was coming when you agreed to this.
You look down at your boots, splattered with mud, and try to remember the last time you wore them for longer than a few hours. Which was a long while ago, or maybe never—though you do remember how bad the blisters were, whenever it was, so it must’ve happened once—and you suppose Johnny’s worth living through that again, just about, so you decide to stick with what you were doing. Accepting your fate and that, in with a bunch of people you barely know, looking round ’til one of them knows you too—and then you spot Benny.  
And he must’a saw you before you saw him, cause he’s coming right on over. 
He doesn’t say nothing, so you stay standing with your hands in your pockets, wondering if he was looking at you at all, or if he thinks you’re just some tagalong from Milwaukee, waiting for a bike to polish. But then he stops right next to you, and turns back facing the way he came, and puts his hands in his jacket like he’s copying you or something. 
So you stand, and it’s quiet, and he looks at the guys getting onto their bikes, engines growling and barking all at once, and you think, my God, you have never survived a silence like this. You wanna wait him out, but he could be a mute for all you know. You never even thought of that. He could’a taken a hit to the head coming off his bike and lost his nerve for speaking, or maybe he’s from Europe. Maybe he don’t know a lick of English, especially not the kind you’re gonna be talking, you never even thought to ask Johnny about that—what if it’s that? 
And the longer it goes without him saying nothing, the more certain you are that whatever you end up spitting out is gonna be the most insane thing a person could say to someone they never spoke to before. Like how’s your relationship with my maybe sort of boyfriend going? Anything I should know?
“Think the green’s got this one.”
“What?” Not mute. Not mute, and not European. Talking and pointing and waiting for you to say something back, even though he’s not looking at you, up there, under the flop of his dirty blonde hair, but waiting all the same. Like he’s fly fishing and you’re ignoring the lure no matter how much he flicks it. “Green who?”
“The bike,” he says, “don’t know his name.”
“Oh, yeah.”
Green fucking bike, what do you know? You can’t even tell the colour of the one Johnny’s on, you can’t even see him no more really, not when they go up there by that corner there. 
“Sorry, wasn’t paying attention,” you tell him, and you know you don’t sound sorry, but him talking like he knows you has thrown you all the way off. Your big scheme to get in and get cosy now seems real dumb and real pointless. “You’re Benny, right?”
He nods. Then he pulls his arms tighter, denim pockets bunching above his waist, like he’s freezing—which he might be, cause his jacket don’t have sleeves like Johnny’s does. 
“Feels like you’re the last one of them that I ought to be meeting,” you say, and cause you’re still good mannered and things, you throw your name out for him afterwards. 
“I know,” he says back. “Johnny talks about you.”
“He does?” 
He nods again, which is real great, cause it means he talks just as little as Johnny does, but instead of humming and making noises, he just nods and looks at you. Jeez, he really does look at you. Not too long, nothing creepy, you know, but long enough like he might’ve flicked through the file-o-fax in your head and plucked out exactly what he wanted. 
“Johnny doesn’t talk about anything,” you tell him, hoping that whatever he thinks he saw, is the opposite of what you actually said. “What’s he say, ‘I’m seeing somebody’?”
To your surprise, Benny laughs at that, and shit, he’s as movie star pretty as you’d expect with a smile on his face. It just gets worse with this dude. “Yeah,” he says, “thats, er, that’s pretty much it.”
“Figures. I gotta get him in a headlock before he says shit about you—or anyone else that means something to him.”
He’s looking ahead again, but you can see he’s smiling still, even if it’s small. He really is a quiet type, two minutes in and you’re realising as much already. Even when he’s talking, or doing anything, there’s a real quiet to it, which is probably the last thing you expected to learn about him. None of these biker guys are ever like that, not even Johnny, somehow, he’s loud even when he’s saying nothing. It’s in the face, in the way he carries himself. But Benny? You could switch his colours for a church suit and believe that he was a good kid Sunday through Friday, never speaking back to no-one.
Which makes no damn sense, and can’t be the fucking case, and makes you realise all at once that he’s the sort of person you keep around just to try and solve the puzzle of him. Shy smiles and listening ears in a guy like him, riding bikes like that? Yeah, sure. The club might not be doing much as far as you know, but it sure is doing more than that, and yeah, you remember, he said it once, Johnny said Benny got all wrapped up with some cops a few times, so who the hell is this?
“You like the picnic?” he asks, flicking his head that way.
“Depends on whether there’s any actual picnicking, or if it’s just standing around watching stuff.”
“Yeah, there will be. Kathy, she uh,” he rubs his face on his shoulder, like he’s getting an itch and the itch is small talk, “she brought some stuff,” he says. 
“Then I guess I like it,” you say back. “Skipped breakfast.” And real surely suffering for it, stomach aching like you’ve not even sniffed food in years. 
He puffs a short breath through his nose, like he’s laughing without trying to. “Don’t think I’ve had breakfast since the fourth grade.”
You can’t help it, you answer like you’d answer anyone else, Benny or no Benny. “That’s sad. You know that’s sad, right? No breakfasts, not even as a kid?”
He shrugs, and he don’t seem offended, but he don’t seem amused so much anymore either. He certainly ain’t knocking back with a joke like Johnny would have. 
“I think waffles are a fundamental necessity,” you say, just to say something again. Then you put your focus on the track, cause the wheels are back now, spinning and spitting up wet dirt, and the looped route they took might’ve gone around a couple times without you noticing, cause it seems like they’re done. Like someone’s kicked a stand and thrown his helmet and started shouting like he’s a winner.
“Green,” Benny says, like you might’ve been betting against him. 
“And Johnny—?”
“Third place.”
You find him in the group, grinning like he’d won, helmet on, goggles pushed up over the curve of it. “Used to be faster, right?”
Benny shrugs. “I wouldn’t know.”
“You been with the club long?” you ask.
He chances the air, pulling his hands free and a pack of cigarettes along with them. “Feels like it,” he says.
You laugh, though it’s mostly sort of a scoff, and probably sort of rude, but, come on, what’ve you gotta do to get a real answer round here? “Jeez, between your riddles, and Johnny’s half sentences, I don’t know how you guys even found yourself to be friends.”
He cracks a light and takes a drag and you’ve pretty much given up on getting anything more out of him, when he says, “Johnny’s only like that when he’s talking to someone with more to say.”
“Yeah, yeah,” your eyes roll, “Lips, I get it. Course he’s been spreading that around already.” 
“Lips?” He tweaks an eyebrow, looking at you through the smoke.
Great. So you really are just like that. “Dumb name he’s come up with,” you say, though you’d rather not, considering he didn’t know about it until you brought it up. You and your lips. “Why don’t you have one? Don’t seem fair to me. I mean, you got Cockroach, walking round with a name like that, and you get to be just Benny?”
“Things like that aren’t planned.”
“Feels like they are.”
He smirks like you’re real crazy. “And you think I’m a special case?”
“I think you’re the favourite,” you tell him. May as well come out with it.
He snorts. The cigarette smoke goes like an ink spill around his head. “You never figure they don’t give names to people that might not stick around?” he says.
Well, that gets you, because no, you never did think of that. And now that you are thinking bout it, the truth feels like a jackhammer against you and him both. Him, who hasn’t got a name and you, who has one already, willing or not. Johnny wouldn’t stumble into a thing like that by accident, would he? 
“You move around a lot?” you ask, with all interest and no attitude. Cause if he’s right, and that is the reason, he must’a done something to make them think as much.
“Used to,” he says.
“Me too.”
“You miss it?”
“Fuck no,” you laugh, “no, I’m planning to spend a real long time in one place from now on.”
He nods, but he doesn’t comment any more on it, and you take his quiet to mean that he thinks the opposite—well, that and the way he’s looking off now, smoking like he never asked in the first place. All of that seems to you like someone who’s planning on moving around some more, some time, whenever it is, and, if you’re real honest, for a second it reminds you of Mom, and that way she’d be when she started itching for it again. Something new, something unattached. You near enough shiver at the thought. Last thing you want is to be drawing a line between Benny and your mom, at your first big meet-the-family picnic of all places.
“I better check on Kathy,” he says, pointing that way with the red end of his smoke. 
“Yeah,” thank God, “yeah sure, nice meeting you.” You smile, waving as he goes, and he takes all that weird, creeping feeling along with him. 
Half successful, half fucking weird. Benny ain’t the sort you thought he was, but you don’t like him and you don’t dislike him neither, which is probably music to Johnny’s ears, should you ever tell him that. But as he walks away you find yourself watching the back of him, and as dead-ended as the conversation was, you feel like you’re wanting to make some more sometime. Just to work him out, you know? Just to see what Johnny sees. 
“You could’a gone again, if you liked.”
“What? No, nah, one’s alright by me.”
“Got it out your system?”
“Yeah, yeah, couldn’t spend all day away from you, could I? Leave you standing up there all alone.”
Couldn’t, but would’ve, if you hadn’t caught his eye over the way there and given him a look like you were real thirsty for him. Took some fighting inside, you know, to take his helmet off and leave the racing to the rest of them, but he did, sweet as he is, and came and swept you up with all the other guys that are more keen on picnicking like you are. 
And he’s sitting beside you now—well, you sat down on one of them benches there, expecting him to come right up next to you, but he went and sat on the table part, still clearly with you but above you, you see, so that his thigh’s resting against your shoulder and your neck’s half breaking just to look at him. But you kind of like it. Having the head dog sitting over you like that, hand resting on the little bit of skin between your hair and the collar of your shirt. Sure, maybe it’s possessive, and maybe he really is worrying about you seeing something in one of these other guys that you’re never gonna see. 
But the more he does that, running a couple fingers over your neck like that, the more you’re thinking he’s worked out that it gets your stomach doing all sorts of summersaults, and that’s why he likes sitting up there like that. Hell, he can sure enough feel how hot your skin’s getting, so it wouldn’t take a scientist to figure out what it’s doing to you, and at the end of the day, a man’s a man, you know? 
“You not finishing your…what was it again?”
He’s pointing over your shoulder now, at the napkin-rolled parcel of good fucking food waiting there on your lap. You had only put it down for a second to get yourself situated. Would’ve eaten it in two bites if you didn’t have Johnny to think about. “Some kind of sandwich,” you answer. “Though it’s more like a burger in a home that don’t fit it—and yeah, I’m finishing it. It’s good. It’s alright.” 
You can hear him smiling, feel it without even looking back at him to check. “Just alright?” he asks. Then his head’s down by your head, ear by your ear, eyes across the way to where Kathy and Benny are snuggling on the opposite bench. “Now don’t let Kathy hear you saying that.”
Which he says altogether too loud, exactly as he planned to do. 
“Hey, no!” And you hate to admit it, but you’re talking louder like she might’ve heard, just to cover your back that don’t really need covering in the first place. “I mean it’s good. It’s real good! They ran out of regular buns is all.”
Kathy smiles, you think, and Johnny laughs at you relaxing at it—and you would’a liked a kiss or something as an apology for getting you to fret like that, but he just leans back again and runs a thumb down your cheek at the same time, like that’s near enough the same thing. Real charmer. So comfortable already, you know, so sick that he thinks that’s enough, and so perfect and fine and sweet, that it has you smiling while you un-peel the damn napkin. You seem to be taking turns these days, over who has who wrapped round their little pinky, and today it’s your go around that bent little finger of his. Broke it coming off his bike, he says, but you know a fighting injury when you see one, and he’s certainly no type of guy to be avoiding a bust up when it’s put in front of him.
“John, who’s that skinny, mousey looking dude over by Wahoo?” you ask, before taking a mean bite of your sandwich-burger. Then you chew and chew and and God, if Kathy weren’t married, you’d be asking her yourself, before licking your lips and clarifying who you mean, “The one with the camera and the tape recorder?”
“Oh.” He clears his throat, fidgeting enough to make his leathers creak. “That’s Danny. He’s a… I dunno, a sort of journalist, I guess. Yeah. Scouting out stories and things. Been riding with us for a while.”
“Yeah?” Your brows go up, ‘cause that’s the last sort of answer you thought you’d be getting. “He’s out here interviewing you guys?”
“Putting together a book, he says.”
“Hmm.” S’all you can manage to say to that, Hmm. 
On that second or first date of yours, Johnny was real antsy about the idea of you going home and typing out his secrets, and you had to be seeing each other for weeks and weeks before he wanted you to really meet everybody here, but now you’re learning that this whole time they’ve had a walking talking wire tap rolling with them? Asking Q’s and getting A’s? Yeah, feels like something that makes no sense to you, coming from the big boss himself. 
“He’s from New York,” Johnny adds, like he don’t like your silence. Like he thinks you’re weighing this Danny guy up, or something. “S’a good kid.”
“You speak to him much?”
“Nah. Spends a lot of time over at Kathy’s place.” 
Figures. He probably wants to work Benny out the way you and everyone else does—and what better way to work him out, than to get talking with his lady like that?
“Maybe he’ll want to talk to me,” you say.
“Why’d he wanna do that?”
And you don’t like the joke in his voice, so you turn right round to face him, elbows sitting on his thighs. “Why wouldn’t he? I got stories to tell.”
He’s not looking at you, but looking over your head at Danny and Wahoo still. “You’re new to the Vandals,” he says, “you don’t know nothing about it. What’ve you got to say to him about all this?”
You agree as much as you don’t. And you’re itching at the principle of it anyway, so you were planning to keep on going, agreeing or not. 
“I know you, don’t I?” you tell him. “Plus new people got as much to bring to the picture as old people, you know, and when you’re writing something up you gotta have the whole entire picture from as many people as you can get, right—and I know, I like to write too, remember?”
“Yeah, I remember.”
“So why wouldn’t he wanna talk to me? I could tell him a whole load about all sorts of things—how someone like me got all wound up with someone like you, for starters—“
“Alright.”
“And how it feels to be fitting in with a bunch of people that are as much like you as they aren’t like you, you know?”
He’s looking at you now, and in the break you take to get some air and another point lined up, he asks, “You done?” Like you’d been talking forever or something.
And you’re surprised enough that you can’t say whether you are or not. 
“I don’t want you talking to him,” he says, “about us. Can I ask that? Am I allowed to ask that of you?”
“Sure you are, Johnny.” That was beside the point. You was just giving an example, you know, of why Danny might wanna point that microphone of his in your direction. 
Johnny’s looking down at you in one of those sorta ways that reminds you he’s a father still—and a father of two girls at that. The kind of look a guy might give a lion after kindly asking him to put his teeth away. “Feels like maybe you got a problem with it,” he says.
“You don’t want me talking to him about you? Fine.” You shrug. “I don’t mind.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, I mean, come on, I just don’t like the implication that I got nothing interesting to say to someone like that.” Which is the truth, and you aren’t anyway shy of admitting it to him. 
He hums in response, and you don’t know if it’s a ‘you’re so funny’ kind of hum, or a ‘you’re getting on my nerves but we’re in public and I can’t say nothin’ kind of hum. And you don’t get to work it out neither, cause Cal shouts from the next table over like you’d been listening to his conversation, and not your own, this whole time.
“You coming, Lips?” he says.
“To what?”
“Car show, couple weeks from now.”
Right, cause that clears it up. “Why’d I do a thing like that?”
He looks down a little, like you caught him feeling nervous about the thing. Like it was prom and you were waiting for him to ask you, or something, lone earring swinging while he doubts himself. “Well, usually,” he says, “when a guy’s going steady with someone—not to assume or presume, Johnny, every journey is a beautiful one—but, well, usually they bring ‘em along to these things.”
You’re laughing. Well, trying real hard not to, cause he’s trying so hard to be… whatever that was, and you don’t mean to come off as rude so early on, y’know? “No, I mean, you bike guys go to car shows? Where’s the sense in that?” 
“S’more of a wheel show,” Cal says.
“S’more of a something to get drunk and start fightin’ each other for no reason,” Kathy adds from across the way, conversation travelling like a bunch of fish going upstream, “you don’t wanna be there, trust me. They just like lookin’ tough to all those nice boys in the 4-wheelers there.”
And you believe her, having said no more that a few words to her in your life, cause if anyone knows about these things, you kinda figure Kathy does. 
“You wanna go?” Johnny asks, before you can say anything about the drinking and fighting part. 
You look up, and he’s frowning like he might’ve asked you something real troubling, or like he’s trying to suss you out, even though he’s already done that and more, you reckon, sussed you out down to the parts even you don’t like thinking about. 
“D’you want me to go?” you ask.
“Well, yeah,” he says, easy but hesitant, “I do, yeah.”
“Then sure.” You turn back to Cal, who’s smoked up like a teenager in the brief moment you looked away from him. “S’pose I’ll be there, then.”
“S’pose we’ll be glad to have you,” he says back, and it’s probably only the weed, but he’s smiling like he means it. Like you’ve spent a whole lifetime with these guys, and not just one muddy afternoon in a fucking field in the middle of nowhere. 
Funny how it works sometimes, ain’t it? Johnny spent so long trying to balance things between you and the Vandals, when all he really had to do was stop worrying so much, and let everything fall together. One big pile of imperfection is a Hell of a lot easier to deal with, and you don’t mind being a part of that. Dirty boots and Benny included.
