Headcanon mini-scenario: Last Minute Valentine's Day
I didn't have time to work on a valentine's day themed oneshot so most of this won't be edited (separate)
Raph
Used to help Mikey with getting materials for valentine's days cards during their turtle tot days. But, mostly spends the day checking and fixing on the teddy bear plushies he stored in a box or a few in his room
Usually spends a day or two, making your gift and for the others before Valentine's Day
Always worried if you don't like the gift (even for birthday gifts, but you responding with a grin after seeing it, slowly gets rid of the doubt.)
Sometimes wears pink since the color goes well with red
Very happy when you get him a gift but gradually becomes a blushing mess if you suddenly ask him for a kiss
Leo
He's aware of the day but, has mixed feelings since Splinter always bingewatches a marathon of rom com movies (The red slider turtle often tunes out and tries to hang out with you, so he can keep his mind off of the boring films)
Still sort of the last minute type of guy, usually getting Mikey's help with a gift
Tries to play it cool if you give him a gift (still ecstatic about it by the time you go back home)
Sort of prefers, just walking around the block and light conversations if you decide to tag along with him
Has a photo album on his phone with you and him themed towards Valentine's Day
(Donnie is the only one that knows this after fixing his phone from a dare. Because Leo forgot to set the photos to hidden. But, he still gives some subtle advice for more fun photo ideas. Sometimes, following it if you wanted to check out a new place.)
Donnie
Mostly busy until one of brothers, April, or you mention that day
Sometimes plan a week's in advance making something for you. Often handwriting on a piece of paper with pen in cursive. You usually get more descriptive poems from him.
(He mostly uses one sentence for platonic valentine cards for his brothers and April. And sometimes, April teases him about it. Which he often shrugs but, still waits for your reaction to said poem)
He had a few gifts going past the valentine's day deadline, so most of them are on hold (but, ends up forgetting about it so he tries to keep the gifts simple for future notice)
He definitely have a sweet tooth for chocolates but, likes dark chocolate the most
He kept most of your valentine's day gifts (usually papers and small trinkets) in his desk (thankfully the only way to get it open is through his voice activation password but, he set on that day so... he's still not the best with thinking up creative strong passwords lol)
Mikey
Its either arts and crafts or following a recipe to heart themed food
More excited if you want to join him on the fun
And if you had some unpleasant past experiences from valentine's day, he totally gets it. And will focus on making sure you're comfortable around him
Usually asks for your opinion, if he can't decide on two choices (example: making chocolate hearts or creating cheesy valentine day cards)
Always love gifts that are from the heart or thought put into it

Hi! It's me again, I really enjoy your hcs and I was wondering if I could request again some hcs for Byakuya, Ghundam, Chihiro and, (If you want), any character you choose x GN reader who has a hard time falling asleep and hardly sleep because of that, thanks and sorry if my English is bad, I hope you have a nice day <3
INSOMNIAC READER âą byakuya, chihiro, gundham x gn reader
of course, anon! i didnt proof read, so im sorry if there are any typos in this. im somewhat in a hurry to finish this since im not used to answering anything below 3 requests a day, so i hope its decent! also, please get enough sleep, it'll really help you! i hope you enjoy these.
tws/cws: he/him pronouns for chihiro.
|| -> mod taka <3
he finds out that you do this when he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and he sees you in the kitchen, eating chips and watching a video on your gadget.
is very surprised and almost had a heart attack, thinking that someone broke into his house when he doesnt see you next to him and when he hears the strange sound of plastic rustling in the kitchen.
will ask why youre not in bed in a very exhausted tone. its not directed at you, the man just needs some peace and quiet. he has a pretty stressful life, after all.
when you tell him that you have trouble sleeping, and that you just dont sleep at all for some days in a row, he looks at you like you just grew 3 extra eyes. you... dont sleep for days on end? is that even possible?
he just, drags you to bed silently and tells you to just wait until you fall asleep. 2 hours later, he wakes up again. this time, to you playing a game on your phone with your earphones on.
you'll explain again how really nothing has helped you so far, and that waiting around while waiting for them to be sleepy is useless.
okay, this is serious. he finally got enough sleep, so he commands one of his servants to get a bottle of the strongest melatonin they could buy. he'll also issue a doctor appointment to make sure its not some kind of side effect for an illness.
once they can confirm that youre okay, but you just need ALOT of sleep, he'll nod, making a promise to himself that he'll fix your hurrendous sleeping patterns. not only for your sake, but for his too. he really doesnt want to wake up constantly because you made an unexpected noise when youre awake.
the first step to his plan is by making you eat/drink things that are known to help people sleep. even if you dont like the taste, he will probably still feed it to you since he knows its the better good. both you and him need beauty sleep.
after he makes you eat one of those things atleast once everyday, he'll also make you take a melatonin pill atleast 30 minutes before you go to bed.
when you start to have a better sleeping pattern, thats when he'll start letting you refuse your daily sleeping food. all he asks is that you take the melatonin.
as the weeks go by, he'll gradually start to leave you alone, and you notice that your sleeping is back to normal! you can now actually fall asleep without being up for atleast a few days.
byakuya is very happy about this result. he probably improves your health a slight bit as well. hes just glad that he could be of assistance to someone he loves.
honestly? he probably feels the same as you do. since he's a programmer, chihiro probably has a terrible sleeping schedule too, and he doesnt do much to change it.
you'll be the couple that'll be up until 4am. there was one time where mondo messaged the class groupchat because he couldnt sleep, and you and chihiro messaged right away.
the rest will probably have to take care of you two, most of the class is very concerned whenever you both answer in exact unison because youre always up together.
mondo and taka probably have to force you two to go to bed. they themselves don have the best sleep schedule, but yours is definitely worse.
you and chihiro most likely stay up doing the classic stuff. playing multiplayer in your favorite games, watching vine compilations, cooking cupcakes in the dorm kitchen that will probably make someone sick since you both cant cook, the usual.
you always wake up someone during your antics, and its most likely makoto and taka since theyre very light sleepers. makoto probably just gives you two a look before going back to sleep, and taka gives you a gigantic lecture.
eventually, he does start realizing that its probably unhealthy to stay up until 7am every single night until youre so exhausted that you collapse on the dorm bed and sleep for a good 19 hours. thats not good at all, so he starts encouraging both of you to go to sleep later.
asks for mondo and takas help, so what do they do to help out? they take all of your gadgets and only plan to give them back when they see you in school the next day, after having a good nights rest.
you guys probably have to do a massive amount of things during the day so that you can just knock out afterwards, and finally get your gadgets back. chihiro is the ultimate programmer, he needs his computer back.
after doing that every day for a good few weeks, you both finally start to fall asleep on your own measures. taka and mondo are so proud, that they finally give you back your gadgets for good.
now, you both sleep at the exact same time! it all comes full circle. he really likes staying up, but also going to bed with you. he just wants to do everything with you, and hes glad that you can also fall asleep together.
now, this man wouldnt try to correct your sleeping pattern, but hed actually try to do the same as you instead. he definitely wants to spend as much time as he can with you, but he just.
he cant. he cant stay up for as long as you do, and its very obvious that hes trying so hard not to fall asleep when youre trying to make conversation with him and 3 am.
he yawns whenever he opens his mouth to speak, whenever you speak he starts to doze off and you have to shake him awake when he does, plus he also scratches his eye every 5 seconds to keep him awake.
"me? tired? non sense!" he yawns. "the supreme overlord of ice can never go to slumber that easily!" a hand reaches to scratch his eye. "what makes you think of tomfoolery such as that?" the dark devas are sleeping in his scarf while he talks.
eventually gets to the point where he cant do it anymore. you look over to him, since he hasnt responded to the topic in awhile, and you see him knocked out, snoring very loudly.
its cute to think that he cares so much about spending time with you, but it is effecting him a little. he often sleeps during lunch, and whenever hes finished with his work.
sonia finally asks whats wrong with him when he falls asleep in the middle of eating his food, and nothing can wake him up. shes tried to shake him awake already, yelling in his ear, etc. etc... nothings working.
when you do finally wake him up, you decided that you have to fix your sleeping pattern. he will really stay up for as long as he can to spend time with you, you've already tried to convince him to sleep, and the man is stubborn.
so, you put matters into your own hands. you put alot of effort into helping yourself get into a regular sleeping pattern. you practically ask everyone else to help you out because you dont want gundham to sacrifice his own well being just for your sake.
gundham is secretly really greatful. he didnt know how much longer he can stand staying up so late everyday, so its a relief when he gets to sleep at his usual time again.
in a way, being in a relationship with him actually was the reason that you finally fixed how you sleep, and you will forever be thankful for that, since your habit would probably catch up to you later on in life.

"OH SHIT!" part 2
"I WANT AN ABORTION." Sung Jin-Woo said abruptly, tapping his foot up and down from the agitation. "I'm afraid that's not possible. The baby is far too healthy and because of the amount of health potions you drank, it will be almost indestructible by our means. It even accelerated its growth.."
Sung Jin-Woo didn't think that far into it that night. He gave the baby's father an icy glare and took out his dagger from his inventory. "You can't abort it by your means huh..." he locked (M/n)'s hand onto the hilt and pointed it at his stomach.
"(M/n)! Stab me!"
"HELL NO!"
"Why not? We're already at the hospital, so you could just rush me to the emergency room when I start bleeding," Jin-Woo explained, but that still didn't make a drop of sense to (L/n) (M/n). "NOT IN A MILLION YEARS WILL I STAB YOU!"
"Fine. I'll stab myself."
"No!"
The doctor's face paled at the S-Rank hunter's lack of care for his unborn baby's lifeâeven attempting to stab himself. Luckily, (L/n) (M/n) was there to stop him before the blade could touch his skin.
"Jin-Woo! Come on, you could just hold on to it until you give birth. We could set it up for adoption later.."
"I don't have time to wait 5 months. I could be leveling up using that time."
Scratch that. (L/n) (M/n) was also a horrible parent-to-be. The doctor forced a smile, wondering if all S-Rank Hunters were like this. He cleared his throat and stared back at them.
"How did you even conceive this child?"
"I have no idea. I drank too much. Hey, aren't you immune to alcohol?" (M/n) nudged Jin-Woo's shoulder, since he was the one that wanted to play video games all night. "I don't know. I can't remember much either. There was this scent.."
"I see. It must've been a heat."
"No? I wouldn't have left the house if that were the case."
"Then..." The doctor's eyes set on to (L/n) (M/n), making him feel a cold sweat. The man with red eyes smiled awkwardly, blinking repeatedly at the doctor. "Why are you looking at me?"
"It's incredibly rare but I assume you went through a rut, Sir. So I understand how you may perceive this as unbelievable since this situation is one in a billion or even more so." The doctor scratched the back of his head, trying to consider the rarity of the situation.
It was even more impossible if he considered the fact that male alpha and omegas were less likely to have a baby, then they were both S-Rank Hunters, both with their respective systems and (L/n) (M/n) had suffered from a rut that only one in five alphas experience.
[The Orion System is extremely happy!]
[â*:.ïœĄ. o(â§âœâŠ)o .ïœĄ.:*â]
[The Orion System is wondering if it would be a girl or a boy??]
[The System is rejoicing for your offspring.]
"I hope it becomes a miscarriage. I'm too busy for this," Sung Jin-Woo said, glaring at his slightly bloated stomach. "Since you are a male omega, there is a 78% chance it would be a miscarriage if you're constantly stressed and you didn't receive professional help from us.."
"Good. I'm already stressed from this situation."
[The Orion System is ignoring your wife's statement.]
[Yay! Baby! \\Ù©( ^Ï^ )Ù //ïŒïŒ]
'He's not my wife, you stupid system. We're friends at best,' (M/n) thought at his system. He and Jin-Woo left the hospital with conflicted thoughts. (M/n) wasn't as extreme as Jin-Woo to forcibly kill it, but he was wondering what he should do next.
That's right. They were hunters. They didn't have time to raise a baby when they could be saving lives through dungeons. It's a simple choice of one life for one hundred.
[The Orion System is rejoicing for you.]
[The Orion System has contacted (totally didn't take over wink wink) the Player System for the child's sake. (*'Ïïœ*)]
[The Player System has agreed!! Ù©( á )Ù yay! yay!]
'What are you celebrating for? Stupid Orion..' (M/n)'s mood turned sour, looking away from his system. Jin-Woo held his phone and pressed Jin-Ho's contact, making (M/n)'s eyebrow twitch. "Oi, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to contact Jin-Ho. He's the Vice Guild Master of Ah-Jin so he has to understand our circumstances."
"What? You know how weird that kid's imagination is. What if he thinks something weird?"
"I'll blame you for that then." Jin-Woo shrugged, his phone ringing for a few seconds before Yoo Jin-Ho picked up. "Hello Hyung-nim. Are you doing okay now?" Jin-Ho's voice made Jin-Woo smile, responding quickly.
"Yeah. I just visited the hospital."
"Ohh. Is (M/n) Hyung with you?"
"Yeah, he's right beside me. Turns out I have to lessen my work hours."
"I understand. You are the Guild Master, Hyung-nim. Everything is up to you. But why do you need to?"
"I'm pregnant."
Yoo Jin-Ho choked on his saliva, falling into a coughing fit as he doubted his ears. "Excuse me? What?"
"You didn't hear? I'm pregnant?"
"THAT'S BAD HYUNG-NIM! YOU NEED A FULL VACATION, NOT REDUCING YOUR HOURS!" The beta shouted, making everyone else in the office stare at him. What?! His Hyung-nim was pregnant? So he had a secret lover this entire time, and he didn't know?
"Then, could you decrease (M/n)'s work hours?"
"Yeah, sure. Why him though?"
(L/n) (M/n) hid his face in his hands, feeling so embarrassed that Jin-Woo just admitted that out loud. His own system was bombarding him with weird messages as well, it was creepy.
[There's no need to be embarrassed, Predator-nim~]
[( ͥ° ÍÊ ÍĄÂ°). We all know what you did~~]
"He's the father of my child."
Jin-Ho choked yet again, throwing his fist at his desk as he fell silent. So (L/n) (M/n) and Sung Jin-Woo had been in that kind of relationship the entire time? Sure, he didn't know a lot about Sung Jin-Woo but even (L/n) (M/n)?
Is that the reason he joined Ah-Jin? So he could see his lover?
Then all those times they left together..
"Jin-Ho? Are you still there?"
"...If you need any help, you can call me Hyung-nim."
'Oh my God, so they were doing that so many times Hyung-nim got pregnant?!' Yoo Jin-Ho's face flushed as his imagination ran wild, smashing his forehead on his desk to cleanse his mind. 'I'M SO DENSE! I SHOULD'VE REMINDED THEM TO USE PROTECTION!'
"Yoo Jin-Ho-nim.. Is anything wrong with the Guild Master?"
"Ah nothing, he's just on maternity leave."
"What?"
"Huh, he hung up. He must've been shocked.." Jin-Woo said, looking up blankly as (L/n) (M/n) gritted his teeth. His face was red, mostly out of embarrassment than out of anger. "SHOCKED MY ASS! OF COURSE HE'D BE SHOCKED! AND WHY DID YOU TELL HIM IT WAS ME?"
"What else should I tell him? He politely asked who was the father."
[The Orion System agrees with your wife.]
[Calm down, host!! \Ù©(àč'^'àč)Û¶//ïŒïŒ]
(L/n) (M/n) took a deep breath, rubbing his temples to soothe himself. "Okay, let's just call it a day and go home and sleep." (M/n) felt like it had sucked his life out of him, so he just wanted to sleep.
"I'll see you then."
Sung Jin-Ah was feeling suspicious for the past two weeks, noticing that her older brother's movements have become strange. At first she thought he got sick, but that would be strange for a sickness to last weeks, especially since he's an S-Rank Hunter.
"Hey, I ordered pizza. You feeling okay, bro?"
"Yeah. I visited the hospital earlier," Jin-Woo said, plopping down on the couch beside her. "Where's Mom?" he asked, grabbing a slice of pizza from the box. "She went out to get something. So she said she wouldn't be able to cook tonight," Jin-Ah answered him.
As soon as Jin-Woo took a bite from his pizza, his face turned sour. He swallowed it and bitterly gulped a glass of water. "Actually, I don't want any."
"Huh? What do you mean you don't want any? You practically inhale this stuff!"
"It doesn't taste good."
"It tastes just fine, get over here!"
Sung Jin-Woo completely ignored his beta sister and holed up in his room. Confusion crossed her face as she gobbled up a slice of pizza. 'Something weird is definitely going on with him.. He's sus...'
The next morning, Jin-Woo got up early to do his daily regimen. But his fatigue had raised twice the number it had before. He felt annoyed from it and tried even harder, exhausting himself in the process.
'I haven't even done half yet?'
[[The Player System has cancelled the 'Daily Quest: Preparation to be Powerful'.]]
[[The Orion System has requested it to be changed to 'Daily Quest: Meet up with your Husband<3']]
Sung Jin-Woo wanted to middle finger the systems and ignored the new Daily Quest, thinking it was an awful prank from Orion. (That Constellation liked to bug them a lot.) So he continued to do the old Daily Quest, but he unfortunately got sent to the Penalty Zone all the same.
["Since you lovers don't wanna meet up. I have no choice but to force you! Hmph!! ăœ('â'ăĄ)ă"]
"Iâ Jin-Woo?!" (L/n) (M/n) hollered, his eyes setting on his partner on top of a floating marble platform. Jin-Woo was behind a translucent wall, safely protected in a small room filled with comfortable pillows, blankets and cute stuffed animals. Just in front of him was a coffee table with a full set of snacks one could crave for.
[[You can sit back and watch the show~ Daddy is going to go on a little run!! (Ù„ââœâ )ïŒ]]
FWOOSHHH!!
On (M/n)'s side of the wall was a scorching, fiery desert, his shoes sinking in white sand as an enormous monster rose from the ground. The gigantic lizard roared, sending a breath of flames towards (L/n) (M/n) as he tried to run for his life. He screamed and cursed at the system while Jin-Woo watched from above like his Alpha was a gladiator.
"FUCK! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING?!"
"ORION! WHY THE HECK IS HE BEING CHASED BY LIZARDS?!?" Jin-Woo punched the orange wall, making it glitch for a few seconds before spitting his fist back inside the enclosed room. He could only look down at (M/n) with worry, slamming into the wall to attempt an escape to go help him.
[[HEY!! Don't help that idiot! He's a loser who doesn't even bother to look after his pregnant wife! (Ò' ïŸ ')]]
[[You know what! Since he's so bad, let's go torture him more! Yay! Yay!!]]
Three more lizards surfaced from the sand, breathing fire like dragons. (M/n)'s face paled in shock as he retrieved his rapier from his inventory. A fifth lizard rose from where he stood, making him tumble down on the sand as it bellowed a menacing tune.
"UGH.. FIVE OF THESE THINGS?!" (M/n) shouted, burning his palms from the hot sand as he tried to get up and away from such a life-threatening situation. Sung Jin-Woo felt more anxiety for (M/n) and banged on the walls.
"DO YOU WANT HIM TO DIE!?"
[[Don't worry~ He won't die. He can handle it! (b á”âœá”)b]]
[[He has to be at least this strong to be a wonderful Daddy of course. áŠ(ĂČ_ĂłË)á€]]
"We're not even keeping the baby!" Jin-Woo glared at the cute emoticon on his screen and gave it a middle finger. He took out his dagger from his inventory, slicing open the wall and using the slight gap to escape.
[[Wait! No! If you get hurt, the baby will die! (Âș ⥠Âș l|l)/]]
"Good," Jin-Woo said with a smirk, landing on top of one of the lizard's heads. "Hey, you need a little help?" he shouted after (M/n), riding safely on the monster. It only seemed to be hostile towards (M/n) and not him.
[[NOO! IF IT ATTACKS MOMMY, ALL HOPE IS LOST! (℠_ ℠l|l)/]]
"Nah, I got it!" (M/n) responded, sliding under one lizard's feet and stabbing it's heart from underneath. Its skin was thick, but (M/n)'s high strength stat could make up for it. The beast let out a small cry of pain as his blade pierced through like a needle. He soon coated the blade in a reddish orange hued mana, poisoning the lizard internally in just a few seconds.
"Jeez. I was a little panicked. But I'm fine," (M/n)'s skin was harder than steel, like an indestructible material. Just like in the myth of Orion, he was like the indomitable scorpion that the legendary Hunter could not beat.
"I was a little offended, you know."
[Noo!! Predator-nim, I hate you!! ((âŹâŁïčâą))]
[Hmph! Hmph! You big IDIOT! ]
"Orion, shut up."
[FINE THEN! I'LL REMOVE ALL OF THESE LIZARDS! ăœ( 'ĐŽ'*)ă]
[I'll be nice to you just because wifey's pregnant okay! humph!]
[Go kiss kiss fall in love now! I don't wanna see you be stupid IDIOTS! (Ò ĂČĐ·Ăł )]
The lizards evaporated quickly like Orion made them out of ice in the blistering sun, making Jin-Woo suspended into the air. (M/n) reached out his hands and ran under him, catching him quickly in his arms. Jin-Woo could've landed safely on his feet, he wasn't that fragile..
But in (M/n)'s princess carry, he felt some sense of relief. Jin-Woo hugged him, inhaling a breath of his friend's pheromones. (M/n) really enjoyed wearing Axe Body Spray (a pheromone masking agent in this world) because he always met up with an Alpha female named Cha Hae-In. It was because of that, Jin-Woo didn't notice any of his alpha pheromones.
But with a whiff, he preferred this version. It made him imagine the fragrance of lit scented candles. It was a very specific scent that calmed him down. "Hm, are you okay?" (M/n) asked, making Jin-Woo snap out his momentary trance. What was going with him?
"Yeah, uhm. Were you still sleeping?" Jin-Woo took notice of (M/n)'s disheveled hair and casual set of light blue pajamas. "Oh right, I haven't showered yet.. Fuck. My handsome complexion!" (M/n) said dramatically, looking down to his lovely rapier covered in sand.
As much as he wanted to get it and polish it until it was shiny, he didn't want to drop Jin-Woo yet. It seems like Jin-Woo was the same, wrapping his arms around his neck in a comfortable hug. Yeah, they should hug more often. It was very comfortable.
[Yes!! NOW KISS!! Ù©(âĄÎ”âĄ)Û¶]
"Ew gross, Orion is back from a tantrum.." (M/n) set Jin-Woo back down, making a look of disgust. Jin-Woo also didn't like the constellation. So he joined (M/n) in spiting it with all the malice he could.
[Ugh, you guys are so mean! (ïžč ||| )]
[It's like you're perfect for each other. (You are btw (^Ï~))]
[I'll bring you back home now. (⏠ĂïčĂ)]
"Oh nice. This is your room?"
"It's a little messy, but don't mind it too much." Jin-Woo scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, not knowing what to do in such a situation. He and (M/n) had teleported back to his house together, convenient for him. But (M/n) was still in his pajamas.
"Damn, I haven't even combed yet. How do you expect me to walk home in this?" (M/n) sighed, fixing his bedhead with one hand as he scratched his stomach with the other. Even though he just went through a terrifying experience, he was still tired and planned to sleep until noon.
"I mean you could run like really really fast. You'd just be a blur to normal people."
"But.. I haven't been to your house before.." (M/n) looked around Jin-Woo's room. Despite him claiming that it was messy, no clothes or wrappers were on the floor and the only thing messy were his blankets. This guy's sense of "messy" was on a whole other level.
(M/n) just leaves his cans of energy drinks, chips and bowls on the floor and leaves the cleaners to go clean it up. His appearance was the only thing that was respectable.
"So I can't navigate on my own. You know."
"You can use Google Maps."
"I don't bring my phone everywhere."
"You don't? I thought you were an addict."
"Your perceptions of me are so warped. What even made you think I was a beta?" (M/n) sighed, glancing over to Jin-Woo's stomach before blushing. He wasn't that different. He thought Jin-Woo was an alpha precisely because he gave off those vibes.
"Ah, it was your Hunter Wikipedia page. I skimmed over it a while ago.."
"My Hunter Wiki what??" (M/n) got confused, watching Jin-Woo take out his cellphone and search something online. He peered over his shoulder, watching him scroll down to the gender option. It actually said [Beta Male].
"That's really stupid. What part of me is beta?"
Sung Jin-Woo looked over to (L/n) (M/n) for a few seconds, his appearance to his language. Yeah.. (M/n) was right. What part of him seemed Beta? (M/n) right then screamed 'I-AM-A- DOMINANT-ALPHA. STAY-5-METERS-AWAY-FROM-ME-BECAUSE-I-WILL-ATTACK-YOU'
Then, he saw his picture on the wiki. Jin-Woo held his phone up and looked to his left and right, comparing the one in person, to the picture. "Now that I've thought of it, this is the first time I've seen you in pajamas."
(L/n) (M/n) was someone that barely swore, kept calm and wore modest clothing. But it looked like stress took over him so much it affected his personality. His mouth was foul with curses.
"Yeah, I mean the last time you saw me, I was naked."
"Oh," Jin-Woo blurted out, his face heating with that in mind. (M/n) quickly shut his mouth and looked away shyly, fixing his hair to seem more like himself. "Now we're in this situation, huh?" (M/n) mumbled, staring down at Jin-Woo's belly. It wasn't noticeable, but it showed a bump if you touched it.
"Do you.. wanna hug?" (M/n) diverted his vision away from Jin-Woo, a light blush on his face. "What made you say that?" Jin-Woo asked calmly, avoiding looking at (M/n). The (h/c)-haired alpha cleared his throat, extending his arms in the air.
"I don't know. You seemed to like it earlier.."
[Definitely you right now: ÎŁ>â(ă°Ï°ă)âĄâ]
[(ïżąâżïżą )]
Sung Jin-Woo nodded, placing his chin on (M/n)'s shoulder as he wrapped his arms around his torso. The same fragrant pheromone relaxing him enough to close his eyes. He felt safe in those arms, like he was under an unbreakable set of armor. "I feel like I could fall asleep like this.."
(L/n) (M/n) didn't know why his heart was beating so quickly, making his skin feel like they were on fire just from touching this omega. "We should hug more often," he said, rubbing on Jin-Woo's back calmly. It was fine for friends to hug, right?
But could we could even consider them friends when one of them was pregnant?
"Oppa, I think we ran out of dish soapâ" Sung Jin-Ah opened the door, letting out an 'Oh' sound as she gazed at her brother. Then, Sung Jin-Woo noticed how odd it was to have (L/n) (M/n) there. "Wait, Jin-Ah! It's not what you thinkâ"
"MOOOMMM!! JIN-WOO HAS A SECRET ALPHA BOYFRIEND!!"
"Sung Jin-Ah!" Jin-Woo yelled, squeezing her cheeks with one hand as she struggled to run away. "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT SO BAD WHEN I SMELLED ALPHA PHEROMONES ON YOU! IT'S VERY STRONG NOW!!" she screamed and kicked her feet in the air.
"Hold on. I'm not his boyfriendâ"
"LET GO OF ME, OPPA! WHY ARE YOU SO STRONG?!"
(M/n)'s voice gradually got weaker as he pursed his lips awkwardly. There was no room to protest in the screaming girl in the room casually being battled to the death by her older brother. He just gave up.
It was that quick giving up that people thought he was a beta.
"Oh! You finally brought home your boyfriend. That's great," Park Kyung-He said as she stood on the doorframe. She smiled at (M/n), then stared at his sleepwear. "Jin-Woo! You even let him stay without telling us?"
"I didn'tâ"
"Shush! I know it could be embarrassing to reveal your first love. Come on, dear. What's your name?" she looked over to (M/n), waving her hand to call him over. "It's (L/n) (M/n), Maam.. Nice to meet you," he said shyly, not even refuting her words at all.
His cute demeanor made Kyung-He fall in love with him already. What a good future son-in-law. No wonder Jin-Woo liked him.
"Ah, come here now (M/n). I'll cook you breakfast too."
"If you don't mind me intruding. Thank you.." (M/n) said, following Kyung-He like he was an imprinted chick. "I'll be there too!" Jin-Ah said, wrestling with Jin-Woo's arm. "Let me go, you jerk! I wanna see what your boyfriend is like!"
"I already told you. He's not my boyfriend."
"Why are you even saying that at this point?" Jin-Ah made a face at him and slipped through his grasp, running out of his room in fear that he would catch her again. "I caught you red-handed! Hehe!!"
[[(ÂŹâżÂŹ ) hehe..]]
"Orion.. What have you done to my system?" Jin-Woo grumbled, walking out of his room with a long sigh. He could explain to them later that he and (M/n) were just friends. But sadly, he would never get the opportunity to.
"So, when did you and Jin-Woo meet? Was it nice?"
"Oh! I met him at work. He was my partner for a while. And you know, when I saw him, he was so scary I thought he was an alpha!" (M/n) was suddenly very talkative, amusing the curious Kyung-He and Jin-Ah.
"Ohh.. So how did you fall in love?"
"We didn't!" Jin-Woo butted in, receiving sympathetic eyes from his family. "Oh, so it was Jin-Woo who fell first. I see," Kyung-He assumed. He asked (M/n) how he did, but it was her son that answered. Their romance was very cute.
"No.. That's not.."
"Wow, I didn't think Oppa would be the one to confess. He's being super shy about it right now. How could he even proclaim his love now..?" Jin-Ah exclaimed in shock, looking over to (L/n) (M/n). He did provide the juicy details she wanted in a romance novel. Jin-Ah approve!
But even though he was the one who confessed, why is he suddenly saying they weren't together? Was her Oppa too shy about it and only stayed sweet in front of his one true love? Isn't that.. too cute?!
"Huh? What are you all talking about? Jin-Woo didn't confess to me?"
Sung Jin-Ah's world was then flipped upside down. It all made sense. Jin-Woo was denser than the Earth itself. If (M/n) was he one who asked him out, it would make even more sense! Their trope was... Shy Omega x Outgoing Alpha! Jin-Ah prayed internally to her lord and savior, KatsuKavi. She was in a romance novel and she could watch the protagonists.
"Oppa, you're no fair! How did you get this lucky with KatsuKavi's pairing rituals?!"
"Who?!"
"The author!"
(A/N: ignore the fourth wall. There is no such thing.)
"Ah, we got too distracted! (M/n) could you clear the table?" Park Kyung-He stood up, moving towards the sink. (M/n) nodded obediently and helped her wash the dishes. Jin-Woo was dumbfounded at his goody good behavior.
He didn't even clean up at his own house. What was he doing being so good with his mother and sister?
"You're a good kid, (M/n). I approve of you."
"Thank you," (M/n) said, chatting a little bit with Kyung-He until he could call her 'Mom'. Sung Jin-Woo gritted his teeth as he watched (L/n) (M/n) be the new favorite.
"Oppa, (M/n) is so good to us. How dare you hog him for yourself," Jin-Ah glared at him from across the room, getting an angry look from Jin-Woo. "Wow, so possessive.." she murmured to herself, skipping happily to her new brother-in-law.
Possessive? No, Jin-Woo wasn't being possessive. He must've just been jealous (L/n) (M/n) was getting all the attention. But when did Jin-Woo start caring about being the center of attention?
He looked over to his best friend, biting his lip to ignore the tight feeling in his chest. He wanted to scream 'look at me!', but he was so dense he didn't know who he wanted to look at him.
"Ah, that's Jin-Woo?! He looks totally different!" (M/n) exclaimed, looking through Jin-Ah's older photos of Jin-Woo. He did look like an omega before, but he drastically changed after becoming a S-Rank Hunter. It was like he was a totally different person.
"Yeah, he used to be so cute and sunny. Now look at him! He's growling at me for taking you away from him."
"I am not growling at you!" Jin-Woo argued, knitting his eyebrows together. He didn't know why, but he felt so annoyed being so far away from Jin-Ah and (M/n). Normally, he wouldn't care but for some weird reason, he didn't like being treated like air.
(L/n) (M/n) soon changed out of his sleepwear and took a nice shower. He didn't wear any pheromone masking agent, so everyone could smell his masculine pheromones leaking out. As much as Jin-Woo liked it, he felt a little annoyed that his 'friend' was being used as incense.
"Mom, did you let him wear dad's clothes?"
"Mhm. It wasn't being used anyway," Kyung-He answered Jin-Woo. She put her hands together, making a sad smile as he looked over to (M/n). "I think it should go to good use, you think?"
"Yeah."
"He suits it well, right?"
"Yeah."
"He's more handsome now, isn't he?"
"I agree."
Sung Jin-Woo crossed his arms over his stomach. (L/n) (M/n) was very attractive in his eyes and a fuzzy feeling would come when thinking of him. "I can tell you really love him. So don't let him go." Kyung-He coaxed Jin-Woo. His mind was blank, only focusing on (M/n).
"Yeah."
"Oi, Jin-Woo! Why did you smile so weirdly in this photo!"
'Ah, I hate him so much,' Jin-Woo thought as (M/n) made fun of him. "Don't look at those!" he marched over, snatching the photo album from his hands while Jin-Ah and (M/n) laughed on the floor.
"Pfft! I don't want our child to look like that!"
"It'll be even worse if it looked like you!"
"I'm a handsome bastard and you know that!"
"I didn't know you wanted children. I hope they look beautiful in the future," Jin-Ah's eyes sparkled at the thought of cute children saying 'Aunt' at her. She wanted to squeeze their chubby cheeks immediately.
"Wait five months, then you decide if the baby will look good."
"Five months? So you're getting married in five months?"
"What? No, I mean Jin-Woo is giving birth in five months." (M/n)'s laughter soon ceased into silence as Jin-Woo walked closer to him menacingly. He then understood why (M/n) didn't want him to tell Jin-Ho about his circumstances. It was so embarrassing for them to know. Now they're never going to let him give it up.
In front of his family, his face became tomato red with both anger and embarrassment as he crouched down to strangle (L/n) (M/n). "Why did you tell them, you dumbass?!"
"Eh?? I thought they already knew from how you told Jin-Ho from the moment we left the hospital."
"Shut up." Jin-Woo balled his fist and set it in the air, his other hand on (M/n)'s chest to prevent him from moving. "Wait, wait! Don't actuallyâ"
"Oppa, you're pregnant?" Sung Jin-Ah's shock had multiplied by 900, so did her happiness. "MOM! IM GOING TO BE AN AUNT! WOOHOO!" She stood up from her place and fetched her phone with a massive smile. She was going to brag to all her friends all about it, wasn't she?
"This is a pleasant surprise. Jin-Woo! You don't tell us about anything going on your life." Kyung-He also smiled, half scolding Jin-Woo. He was already 24, so he could decide as an adult. She had no problem with it. "First, you're a hunter, then your secret fiancee, now your child? Hoo, you.."
Wait, why did secret alpha boyfriend evolve into fiancee? They weren't getting married after the birth of the child!
(M/n)'s ears were about to bleed. He forgot about it! But because of their excessive happiness, he couldn't bring himself to disagree with what they were saying in fear they'd be disappointed. So he could only regrettably nod.
[Yay! Yay! Baby!!]
[We're getting a little hunter!! (âÏâ)]
Jin-Woo's complexion became pale blue. They were doomed.

Ah I was sitting on this idea while waiting for requests to open! I loved your ask that had La Squadra meeting Risottos daughter from the future that got me thinking what if La Squadra had a memey s/o from present time? Would they ask lotta questions about the future and get confused when they speak in vine or tiktok references? đ
La Squadra with a meme-y s/o from the future
gn reader // sfw
ahh that was such a cute ask and glad it made you think of this idea! thank your for requesting this and omg so so so so sorry it took so long, hope youâll still enjoy it none the less! đâš (you and your LS bf have a good comprehension of each otherâs timelines and are used to traveling back and forth a bit :D)
Risotto
He knows the complications are endless and at times it all seems incomprehensible- having an s/o who can literally time travel; but your sheer knowledge of memes and the way you seem to effortlessly drop them into everyday conversation is astounding to him.
He doesnât understand them that well, no amount of context or explaining will help. Itâs simply a language he does not understand that well. And the memes or slang he kind of does understand, he just doesnât find that funny.Â
However, he will never actually find it a bother when you drop a few weird jokes. The way they make you laugh and sometimes even dry-heave from the hilarity makes him love you even more.Â
In moments like that heâll dryly let out a few slang words he remembers. You will never forget the time he let out a serious and deep âyeetâ when you were already hysterically laughing, his addition might have made you stop breathing for a minute. It still makes you grin when you remember him shaking your shoulders and telling you to âbreathe dammit!!â
Overall this man does not really get it or find it that entertaining himself, but heâll gladly tease you and make you smile with the stuff he picks up. Risotto just canât stop staring at your beaming grin.
Formaggio
Although he doesnât truly grasp the layers of certain jokes or memes, Formaggio is your man! Heâll start using jokes and memes he learned from you and is so pleased when he makes you laugh with them.Â
Formaggio is great at continuing a bit but once he loses interest he just...stops. Which is kind of perfect since your knowledge of vines is a lot bigger than those of tiktoks so those quick six seconds are easy to get the point across.Â
Heâll still get some stuff wrong but he gets the gist of them. He loves annoying his teammates with his newfound references and they all canât stand him. The second he opens his mouth with that smug look in his eyes, they all sigh in unison and prepare for the incomprehensible babbling thatâs about to commence.Â
The rest of the gang likes you but when you and Formaggio are hanging out at headquarters together, they tend to keep conversations quick because they know once you two team up, the suffering will never end.Â
âBabe, wake up! New meme just dropped!âÂ
You two are a menace to deal with but god if it isnât sickeningly cute and funny when he calls you his baby, his cinnamon apple!
Illuso
Donât get Illuso wrong, he loves you but dear heavens you are on thin ice with him. He isnât the most joke-y type, he likes a good chuckle but please do not oversaturate him with references he does not get.Â
He has little to no interest in the videos you wish to show him and even less interest in remembering the ones he begrudgingly watched.Â
At this point youâre allowed a couple jokes a day, he doesnât count or literally prevent you from saying them, but you know each other well enough to see when heâs actually getting annoyed.Â
To shut you up heâll try and fluster you! Heâll look into your eyes so intensely as you continue talking about a meme, one eyebrow cocked and one side of his beautiful lips curled up into a smug grin.Â
Heâll place a single hand on your cheek, his thumb gently swiping across it while the rest of his large hand and fingers rest on your scalp. As he hears you stumble over your words and can feel your cheeks heating up heâll get in nice and close to your lips. Ghosting his over yours and placing a single kiss that you wish would last longer. Thatâll keep you quiet for a bit đ
He accidentally (re-)invents âthatâs cringeâ without your help. (heâs referring to you, sorry bestie)
Prosciutto
Why are you saying these weird words AT him? Why must you crease his brows even further?
Prosciuttoâs patience is getting tested with you and your innate need for adding incomprehensible colourful commentary to everyday things and situations. He truly doesnât get it and there is no amount of explaining you can do to change his mind. Even after the memes make even a little sense, he wonât find them funny.
He does love you, so much in fact, that he knows asking you to stop isnât going to work and it wouldnât be a fair thing to do. He sees how your smirk feeds into the satisfaction of landing a joke in your present time where most of your friends know what youâre talking about.Â
However when you come around his part of the space time continuum, playtime is over. Well mostly. He does enjoy being a bit goofy around you, his snarky comments get a sarcastic edge that parallels your need for adding a fun flair to mundane things.Â
The only time you made him laugh with a meme was when you kept repeating âi canât believe youâve done thisâ over and over while poking his cheeks during a playful mood. After a final poke, Prosciuttoâs resolve finally breaking, he couldnât help but snicker. With one final addition of the line, ever surprised by the wonderful sound he makes when he finally breaks, you stop and stare. Enamoured by your wonderful boyfriend and his gorgeous smile.Â
Pesci
Heâs the most supportive partner out there! Anything that makes you laugh and giggle, like the memes you keep showing him, fills his mushy heart with joy.Â
Pesci will kind of get them? They all make sense in a way, but some of them just go above his head because of the layers of internet knowledge he does not possess. Although he really loves it when you show him stuff that reminded you of him.
đ„șđ„șđ„șđ„ș <-- his face the entire day after you show him cute pictures of animals and said they made you think of him. Heâs just so in sickeningly smitten with you.
Heâll try out a couple of internet slang terms and blush really badly when they make you laugh. If Pesci could, heâd play your laughter on loop 24/7. Him baby, ok?
When the whole internet was debating their existence and that of every object because everything is cake, you quizzed Pesci on his cake-recognizing skills. He failed horribly, they all looked way too realistic and he might have had a small existential crisis.Â
You playfully bit his wrist to show he wasnât made of cake, planting some kisses along the sensitive spot. He shivered at your tickling pecks, relieved he wasnât just a tasty confection and even happier that youâd love him regardless.Â
Melone
Your meme comrade.Â
The first mistake was showing him what the internet was like in your future timeline. He got so invested in its machinations and the entire culture surrounding it. He studied every single social media outlet. Every niche he could find only fuelling his curiosity.Â
Pandoraâs box has been opened and there is no turning back now. Not only does he get all the memes and vines you show him, he memorized them too. Melone will artfully display his knowledge in daily life when youâre around and show off.
Do you regret showing him? Maybe...but is it hilarious to hear him quote terribly long copy/pastas? Yes. Yes it is.
He will steal your phone so he can feed into his meme needs, saving the most fried up images that barely make any sense, to your gallery. You sorted the ones he saves into a special folder so you wouldnât have to strain your eyes so much.Â
Itâs all fun and games until he starts referencing stuff during more intimate times. At first they made you laugh but as time went on you had to ask him to stop.Â
Hearing Melone whisper âeeby deebyâ while kissing his way down your neck might not be the mood youâd preferred. (hearing him sigh and say âso, no head?â was pretty hilarious tho)
Ghiaccio
To your surprise, once he understands the memes and gets the references, he becomes quite good at using them as well. Steering clear of the misspelled ones, of course. (one bad gloop might actually kill him)
Ghiaccio is such a big softie once heâs alone with you, letting his guard down and finally calm, not irked or stressed by his surroundings.Â
He loves it when you show him new weird pictures you saved because they made you think of him. You donât allow him to have a smartphone no matter how much he wants it (itâll mess up sensitive time stuff) so when youâre scrolling through your preferred meme gathering app with Ghiaccio alongside you, heâll point out ones and snicker a âthatâs youâ.Â
It makes your heart melt how cute he can be with the stuff he picks out. Once he actually said âyouâre babyâ and you felt your soul leave your precious body as his cheeks turned redder than plush tomatoes in summertime.Â
When heâs around the rest of the squad or in a more public setting, the usual stressors return. But with you around to offer quick witty jokes, things tend to become less focused on irritation.Â
You are 100% sure youâve heard him yell the famous words âAM I WRONG?!â during a heated argument with Melone. You had to leave the room to prevent worsening things, holding in your laughter and silently dying as you heard him rave on.Â

Alright so!! I got some requests from people for me to make a post with tips on how I self-study my languages, so here we are! Itâs not perfect and everyone studies differently, but I hope some of these tips can help you out.
Personally I study Korean & Thai so this list is aimed at those but a lot of the study tips are pretty general and can be applied to whatever language youâre learning.Â
Iâm an energetic puppy in human form - I simply CANNOT sit still and study for longer than 20 minutes before getting insanely restless and distracted, so I tend to only actually sit down and actively study once a week. If youâre expecting something clever and insightful this is absolutely the opposite of that... I basically trick myself into learning! So here is my silly little guide, letâs go!
General Tips:
â
Get ridiculous with sticky notes. Seriously, do it. If youâre just starting out and donât know the words for all of those household objects then go ahead and scribble them down on those post its and stick them EVERYWHERE. It might drive your family members/roommates crazy but hey... youâre doing it for a good cause, right?
â
Donât rely on romanization too much - if your language has its own writing system, focus on that using as much as you can. Romanization seems helpful but in the long run youâll rely on it too much. Itâs better to get familiar with the native writing system asap!
â
Pick out a word/phrase of the day and write it somewhere youâll see it often. I have a whiteboard in my room that Iâll scribble a few phrases onto and then every time I walk past it, Iâll say them. Or if Iâm not gonna be home all day then I write something on my wrist and glance at it throughout the day! This one is the most fun because when people see it theyâre like âooh that looks pretty!â or âooh does it mean something deep and profound?â when in reality you have the phrase I like cheese written on your arm and it never stops being entertaining. Bonus points if someone native to that language reads it and looks at you like youâre crazy.
â
Say the words in silly voices. It sounds weird but if youâre sitting there repeating words (like the word banana, for example) from an app in a monotone voice youâre definitely less likely to remember it than if youâre yelling out âBANANA!!â in an opera voice or squeaking out âb an a n aâ dramatically as you let go of Jackâs hand and let him sink into the ocean.Â
â
Donât isolate vocabulary. Learning new words is great, but itâs useless and youâre more likely to forget it if you donât learn to use it in a sentence.Â
â
Keep a diary! One of the absolute best ways to practice your writing and improve your skills is to just jot down a few things every now and then. Itâll be rusty and you wonât have much to say at first and will definitely keep needing that dictionary every 2 seconds, but after a few weeks youâll really notice the difference. Buy pretty pens and stickers to motivate yourself to write in it! Itâs also fun to do this around people who canât speak it as theyâll look at it in awe and you can show off when in actual fact your writing is usually a clumsy scribbled âtoday I snacks eat and go sleepâ but hey what they donât know canât hurt and itâs always fun to look like a genius.
â
Talk to your pets in that language. Theyâre not going to judge you, they actually donât even care what you say as long as you say it in that entertaining pet voice. I donât have any friends that speak Korean or Thai so the majority of my speaking practice is hurled at my dog. If you donât have a pet, then plants or stuffed animals work perfectly too!
â
Listen to language podcasts while you do household chores, heck if youâve gotta do something boring, might as well yell foreign words while you do it!
â
 Change your phone settings to your target language. That way youâre literally forcing yourself to use it, and it becomes second nature and you pick up key words so quickly. Only do it if you know how to get back into your settings and change it back if you have to... or else youâre stuck and lost.Â
â
Listen to music and sing a lot. Just scream those lyrics! A little off-key screeching never hurt anybody!
â
Get comfortable with numbers. Theyâre something that is dominant in ALL languages and youâre going to use them on a daily basis. Start with learning how to count to ten and get comfortable with it, and then go higher. Once youâre used to numbers individually, make it harder. I used to get my mum to write out 10 random numbers between 1 to 10,000 in the morning and I would translate them, and then I would do the same for myself in the evening. After a while you get quicker at them and before you know it you donât have to awkwardly translate them in your head anymore, the numbers are just there ready in your brain.
â
Donât only watch dramas! Watch more natural stuff too - variety shows, vlogs, instagram lives... anything where people are just chatting like they normally would do. That way youâre subconsciously learning more casual speech patterns and casual language too!
â
Donât just study at home! Always make sure you have a dictionary handy (like on your phone, for example!) and keep your brain busy while youâre out and about. Buying some groceries? Try to name everything in the fruit and vegetable aisles and if you donât know the name of something, look it up! Youâre more likely to remember vocab this way as your brain has a situation to associate it to.
â
Be mean and make yourself work for things you normally do - check your horoscope on a regular basis? Read it in your new language instead! Want to check out the weather forecast? Do it the hard way.
â
Donât feel like studying? Not in the mood? Then donât do it! Instead put on your favourite show in your study language of choice. Not every study session has to be a hard one. Just relax and watch a foreign movie! You have no idea how much your brain picks up without you even noticing, chilling out and watching a drama absolutely counts as studying. Donât force yourself to study if youâre not feeling it, youâre more likely to learn if youâre having a good time.
Advanced Tips:
â
Get keyboard stickers - if your new language has a different alphabet and you use your laptop to study it a lot then youâre definitely gonna need these! You can buy them SUPER cheap on ebay!
â
Change the language on your Netflix account and get ready to binge watch your faves! If you change your profile language to the one that youâre studying, youâll notice that a lot of the shows available will now show subtitles in that language too. If youâre pretty advanced then now is probably the time to drop your native subs and start watching with the original subtitles in the original language.. good luck!Â
â
Play Pokemon. When the latest Pokemon games started coming out with Korean language options I JUMPED at the chance - what better way to study than to just laze around playing video games? This is great for any other kinds of games you can snatch up in your target language too.
â
Read a favourite book in your new language. A common one is Harry Potter! Itâs pretty much available in every language at this point and itâs a story you probably already know, which means you never get too lost because you know the plot already.
Resources:
Here are a bunch of apps and things that I use for studying that I find super helpful (and all of these are free!)
Drops (for Thai and Korean - available in both the apple store and the google play store) Â - I use this app every single day without fail. Itâs brilliant for expanding your vocabulary (there are TONS of languages available on there too!) HOWEVER: It only lets you study for 5 minutes and then you have to wait around 9-ish hours before you gain another 5 minutes to work with unless you want to pay for more. But honestly? Thatâs a good thing. You only need 5 minutes of vocab study before your brain wants to dissolve into mush anyway. I get up, do my morning stuff (usually just involves rolling around and blinking in confusion before grabbing a coffee) and then sit and do 5 minutes of drops, and then by the evening my 5 minutes have replenished and I do it again. Rinse and repeat, and youâll be learning more words in a week than you even realise!
Duolingo (I use this for Korean, there is currently no Thai option) - This app is fantastic. I donât recommend it for beginners as it should be used as more of an aid alongside your natural studies, rather than as a study resource itself. This app expects you to already know the basics so Iâd dig into this one once youâre starting to get a little comfortable with your language!
Naver Dictionary (for Korean) - I use this every single day! Not only does it help me when I need to find a certain word, it also gives me lists of example sentences which is PERFECT and super helpful when Iâm trying to memorize words! And for Thai I use Thai-English Dictionary (I can only find it in the Apple store sadly) and thatâs incredibly handy too, I wouldnât be able to cope without it! I also use this website as a Thai dictionary when Iâm not on my iPad!
Talk To Me In Korean (for Korean) - This has been a core element to my Korean studies. They have tons of lessons available on their website, they do regular YouTube videos (usually only 5-10 mins long, perfect for just a mini casual study session!) and they also sell textbooks and do podcasts too. If you learn best from textbooks then these are by far my favourite ones Iâve found, give them a try! Theyâre not too pricey.
Lingodeer (for Korean) - Itâs cute, itâs friendly and itâs helpful!! I learned a bunch of new phrases using this one and itâs perfect for casual study!
Memrise (for Korean) - Fantastic if youâre a beginner! There are tons of languages available on here too. Although, there are only 3 levels in Korean so I got through this one pretty fast.Â
Eggbun (for Korean) - An app that encourages you to learn using a texting format! I havenât really used it much but I have friends that have said itâs really useful!
Ling (for Thai and Korean) - This one was pretty good, once again though I wouldnât use it if youâre a beginner, itâs probably a lot more helpful if you know the basics before you attempt this one! Iâve only used it for Thai but thereâs a Korean option you could try checking it out!
Mondly (for Thai and Korean) - This app is cheeky and it wants your money. You get a bunch of free lessons to start with which are GREAT but thatâs it. Then it reduces you to one free lesson a day but honestly? Still useful so go ahead and use it. They also have speaking practice available too!
Thai2English (for Thai) - This website is an absolute LIFESAVER!! If Iâm ever browsing and come across a sentence that just throws me, I simply copy and paste and this legend of a website just breaks it down for me word for word.
Extra Korean links:
Childrenâs books in Korean
Learning Korean through fairytales - a textbook used in Korea for children who are learning to read, itâs helpful as a Korean language learner too! You get a little story and then itâll ask you questions about what you just read.Â
TOPIK previous exams - these are so good for practice and if you want to get a general idea of what academic level your Korean skills are at.Â
Learning to type in Hangul - this one was fun and I now type Korean pretty comfortably on my laptop so if you know youâre gonna be typing a lot, I recommend this program!
#the way I learn languages is so weird I am so SORRY#I kinda just implement my language into my daily life and it works perfectly for me... I hope this is helpful to at least ONE person djgsjk#thai resources are sadly not that common but I'll add more if I find them!#language studies

Daily Blog #15: August 22, 2021
Dollar Tree is honestly pretty fucking awesome đđđ
I set my alarm for like 6:25 this morning, but it took 6 minutes for the "Horsin' Around" theme song instrumental to wake me up. I was pretty tired lol. I just dismissed it and went back to sleep.
I only went back to sleep because I knew I had another alarm set for 7:00. That got me up.
I should mention that this was still in the RV over an hour away from the house.
After I got up, I went to go get a shower, and did so successfully.
Unfortunately, I had forgotten my brush this time and had to do it afterwards after my hair had a bit of time to dry, which did make it a little more difficult lol.
I got dressed and grabbed my stuff, putting it into my car.
I made it a point to see and say "see you later" to my grandparents before I left for the flea market.
My dad insisted that I stayed to say goodbye to my mom, so I left.
I did NOT have cell service up there, as was mentioned in my previous 2 blogs of which I could only post today, so finding my way was a tiny bit difficult until I got some service to ask Google to take me to "...".
It worked and I got there.
On my drive, I listened to 1 by Simple Kid, a CD I had previously purchased at a Dollar Tree location.
I got a call from the guy at the flea market saying that I had some people there waiting for me. He asked how far away I was, to which I said "about 10 minutes." Ironically, that call made me miss my exit, as Google couldn't talk during the call, and added about 3 minutes to my arrival time lmao.
I did sell the Xbox that he said someone was interested in. I got $40 for it. I spent 27Âą on it. Pretty good return if you ask me.
I couldn't sell it with anything other than a power cord because the controller and AV cables I had been using to play it there were for my personal console. I'm just glad I can actually hook my Xbox up and stop having to drag them to the flea market along with a small library of games.
Not too long after I sold the Xbox, someone came in and asked if I wanted to see some electronics he had in his car. I went out with him. It was a pair of 3ft speakers and a Pioneer audio system with dual cassette decks (although neither of them works) and a 25 Disc CD-changer, as well as the standard AM/FM tuner. Additionally, there was a Fisher amplifier and AM/FM tuner as well as a Fisher Direct Drive turntable. He said he wanted $60 for em, but before that he casually, and probably accidentally, dropped that he was just gonna take em to the thrift store.
Big mistake.
I got em for $35 lmao. THERE GOES MOST OF MY PROFIT.
Oh well.
I tested everything. As I mentioned, the cassette decks don't work, but everything else does apart from the turntable needing a new stylus.
I posted some new photos of the shop to Facebook, and someone soon DMed me about a stereo system.
I priced everything, and it turns out I have about $300 worth of equipment from that deal, the Fisher amp and tuner being worth about $150.
The buyer will hopefully show up next weekend, for he wants to buy the Fisher stuff ($185 with the turntable), the 3ft speakers, an 8-track deck, and a Kenwood deck we've had for a week or two.
The speakers are listed for $50 (and are worth around $100-150), the Kenwood Deck for $50 as well, and the 8-track for $35. That makes it about $320 in equipment. Since he's buying so much, I'll knock it down to $270 and essentially give him the speakers or cassette deck for free lol.
Apart from that stuff, not much happened at the flea market. I sold some records, cassettes, CDs and I think 2 DVDs. One person bought a VHS tape? That money was the other guy's though. Oh well xD.
I can't say that I didn't miss my wonderful partner while on the trip. I actually brought along the stuffed animal they gave me (who's name is Greg) and snuggled with him both nights.
I was very happy to hear from them UwU.
They let me rant and I let them rant.
I honestly give them too much responsibility over me xD. I'm like, "Okay, I'm gonna do this. HOLD ME TO IT."
I know I can't hold myself to anything I personally say (this blog being the only exception apparently), but I listen to them pretty well I think đ€. If they tell me, "No, you don't need that VCR," so long as it's not some weird specialty thing, like a worldwide VCR đ„”, I'll be like "Yeah, you rite bro."
I love you man xD. You control my craziness pretty well. I'm so thankful for you UwU.
#relationshipgoals
So part way through the flea market day, I went over to Dollar Tree to buy some snack, but ended up looking through the CDs to see if there was anything good. I took photos of about 18 CDs and flipped through them online for the remainder of the flea market day.
I deleted the photos of the ones I didn't want and kept those that I liked. Surprisingly, I ended up buying 13 CDs there, but not before dropping them on the floor like the dumbass I am.
Also, sorry for all the nerd shit I spilled on your lap earlier. No one cares about amps and tuners xD.
I'M LISTENING TO ONE OF THE DOLLAR TREE CDS RIGHT NOW THO.
I already transferred over to my online library on iBroadcast and put the disc into my CD changer, which is now holding 164 CDs.
Its max capacity is 300 discs đ„”
WHY AM I NERD
Oh well
I like being a nerd gurl
Also maybe a technosexual đ
I get really excited over some electronics. Like. REALLY excited.
Some editing VCRs are like "Holy shit that is SEXY. Look at those goddamn VU meters đ„”. And hhhh there are like 7 inputs on this thing and individual controls for left and right audio gain, not to mention Hi-Fi S-VHS recording. Hhhhhhhhhhh please gimme đ. Why are you so expensive?"
I uh, mean, uh, *cough* look, pretty lights.
Oh yeah, I was gonna say the album I was listening to xD. MAN I GOT SIDETRACKED.
It's 37 Everywhere by Punchline. Def give it a listen; it's pretty heccin good.
Another notable album I picked up was Page One by Steven Page. I very much like the first track, "A New Shore." It's quite catchy and he has a great voice imo.
Also at dollar tree, I bought a regular bag of Fieras and 2 bags of Fieras Sticks, which were marked down to 75Âą/bag because they're expiring soon.
I honestly like the generic Dollar Tree version of Takis more than actual Takis. They're a lot more flavorful when it comes to the lime, but also hotter at the same time.
Don't get the hot nacho ones tho. Hot nacho? More like hot pile of shit.
HAH
Goteem.
They're not that good xD.
THE REGULAR ONES ARE FIRE THO
"How do you do fellow kids?"
I got home and started working on putting the CDs onto my computer, and then onto iBroadcast, but not without first adding The Music Man to my digital library, something I had neglected for a month or two. The CD had just been sitting there lol.
I also switched my digital file for "The Black Parade" to that of the uncensored CD, which I had purchased before I event started working over 2 months ago.
MAN I'M LAZY
I eventually get around to shit tho lol. I guess it's just a matter of priority.
What usually takes priority is digging through everything to find something that I forgot about but then remembered, making a mess in the process that I would then have to clean up, at least partially.
I think the album just ended. I've been writing for a while xD. I'ma start "I Made You Something" by The Island of the Misfit Toys.
I'll tell you where that album came from in a minute.
In the meantime, where was I?
I kinda lost my train of thought despite reading up to see where I was. Oh well. On I go.
I ate dinner and kept working on those CDs, eventually putting my clothes from the week into the washer.
I FORGOT TO PUT MY SHAPING UNDERWEAR IN. FUCKING HELL MAN.
I wanted to wash em for this week đ
No tight pants for Leonna I guess qwq.
Meanwhile, the box of my CD album cases is overflowing. I need another box.
I keep all of the album artworks in a big CD folder. That's almost full.
I wanna fill my entire CD changer. That's one of my big goals in life. Idk why, but I just wanna legitimately fill the entire thing.
My clothes are in the dryer now. I don't think I have the time (or energy) to fold them tonight. I'll leave that for tomorrow morning before work.
And God. Fucking. Damnit. I start school again on Wednesday. NOT looking forward to that, and neither are my 2 coworkers. We already have low enough staff, but only the two of them working is gonna be a pain in the ass.
I'll still work Saturdays.
I need to contact my guidance counselor to get out of the gym class I signed up for. I scheduled this shit before I found out I was trans, and I don't wanna deal with the fucking locker room situation đ I have far more important matters.
Okay so anyway, the album I'm listening to came from a cassette. I bought this cassette a few months ago at the flea market along with a few others. The reason I bought them? They were all newer cassette releases from the 2010's, and they're all actually pretty good music from very indie bands.
Currently getting mad at iBroadcast's compression algorithm. It's unnaturally fucking anything over -10db up. Oh well, there's not really anything I can do about it.
I have like 13GB of music on my phone btw. That's about 3.5k songs on 268 albums.
I'm kind of an audiophile, but I'm too cheap to pay for a lossless service. Oh well.
They do actually have a lossless service on iBroadcast, but once again, too cheap.
Someone just sent me a friend request who legitimately posted that BLM and the democratic party are hate groups.
BLOCK.
Goodbye ho.
I don't get that. They call the democratic party a hate group when they hate people like me, and I, being more of a democrat although not fully because the 2-party system is fucked, think nothing more of them than they're very wrong about certain things, especially, as shown, that black people, as well as asian, Indian, native, and people of all ethnicities and backgrounds, are not equal to white people.
Yeh.
Totally.
You go buddy.
Anyway, yeah, I can, and do, convert music and video from analog formats to digital files in order for me to archive and listen to whenever and wherever I please. I've actually made a bit of a business out of it, but I don't get too much work from it. At least I'm not overloading myself xD.
I honestly have so much more to say, but I should probably go to sleep soon.
A few final shoutouts to the following people and companies:
-Dollar Tree
-Steven Page
-Broken World Media
-The Island of Misfit Toys
-Simple Kid
-Punchline
-My incredible partner QwQ I love you so much. Thanks for being the best all the time. I hope I can give you the best life ever.
Anyway I suppose this is goodnight. Lmk if you want a full list of the CDs I bought today! I'll link that song by Steven Page here.
And here's a good song from Simple Kid
I really like music lol. Enjoy these pieces.
Anyway, goodnight lol.
Lots of love,
-Leonna.

3 little words: i Love You
A/n: this is for @thisismysecrethappyplace for her challenge! *sorry this took so long girl! but here it is... im so sorry i hope this fits with all the prompts and details. hope you enjoy it.
pairing: Barry Allen x Female!reader
readerâs personal sitch: bullied by family âfriendsâ co workers
male main is: overprotective
sitch between mains: love letters
dialogue (quote): âi was just kinda hoping that youâd⊠yâknow⊠fall in love with meâŠâ
summery: its a surpriseâŠ.
masterlist
this is how your life changed, it went from one of daily turmoil and unpleasentries to one where you received your happily ever after. this is how it happened, this is how you discovered how much your best friend really cared about you.Â
your daily routine included:Â
waiting 10 minutes before getting out of bed to make sure your eyes were working first.Â
after getting out of bed, going to the bathroom doing your hair and smiling at yourself in the mirror.Â
then going to select your outfit, something comfortable yet pleasent on the eyes.Â
once that was done, do some of your daily mobile game stuff.Â
then walking out the door with your bag, shoes and sometimes a jacket.
then walking to work, of course with your music rocking away in your ears, you of course had already called Jitters coffee house placing the order for your morning coffee and of course your breakfast sandwich.
stopping in and picking it up, chatting a bit with the usual barista or whoever happened to be working at that particular time.
walking out of there carefully continuing your strut all the way to the CCPD, where for about 8 months now you had faithfully fulfilled the role of CSI, while your best friend Barry Allen was in acoma after being struck by lightning.Â
your only wish was to have your best friend/overprotective partner in crime solving back by your side cause without him there, work was hell for you.Â
for you were bullied and teased by pretty much everyone you worked with, everyone only bullied you if the captain or Barry or iris or Joe werenât around. this time none of them were around, instead you were teased as soon as you walked into the station, you practically had to run through the police station, up the stairs to yourâs and Barryâs lab.Â
you got in there placing the coffee and your sandwich on the nearby table you fell to the ground in tearsâŠÂ all you could do was wish that Barry was there, but it was getting easier to do this day by day, just involved alot of crying and lots of alcohol.Â
YN (to self):Â âBarry come back to me, please i need you!â
all you did was repeat that over and over⊠but someone else happened to stumble upon your little crying session⊠for now it was Iris West who happened to walk in your lab slowlyâŠ.
thats of course when she heard what you were saying more clearlyâŠ
Iris: âYNâŠâ
your head turned towards the friendly, familiar voice this made you come out of your on the floor stupper, get up and run into her familiar embrace. when she pulled back she started crying with a smile on her face.Â
YN:Â âIris, i know why iâm crying but why are you crying?â
Iris:Â âitâs Barry, heâs awake!â
YN: âhe is⊠when? for how long? how? is he okay? Where?â
Iris:Â âhe is fine, he is at Star Labs still they are just making sure he is healthy before they let him come home. Barry wanted me to tell you that he will be back soon. now want some company while you start your work?â
YN:Â âi wouldnt mind, it would keep the other noses out of where they donât belong.â
Iris:Â âpeople still giving you a hard time?â
You just nodded you couldnt even form words about it, see what had been happening was you were always seen as the burden, the over bearing know it all, seen as the one thing stopping everyone around you from being able to live their livesâŠÂ
but when you started working at the CCPD after Barry fell into acoma your only thought was doing your job, however certain of Central cityâs finest didnt think you had any business at all digging your nose into the cases as CCPDâs newest CSIâŠÂ
it was always worse, like going to school with Barry people would tease you and him, teasing you guys by saying that you guys looked closer than friends⊠well as much as that would be a nice thought you were just grateful once you and Barry graduated high school.Â
but in the back of your mind, the only part of those memories that really stuck with you were the ones that included every single time Barry would drag you away from those bullies, everyone around you guys, sometimes it was almost like he was over protective of you.Â
Barry a few times got his ass kicked just because he tried to avenge your feelings, because he was the only one who was able to see through your facade, he could see that all the teasing and bullying was tearing you apartâŠ
But nothing else was said apart from the new kind of glow about you, Iris of course was thrilled, but she could see that all the pain and sorrow you had been surrounded with when she walked in the lab had all gone away.Â
your main focus right then was on the fact that Barry was awake and alive and coming back soon.Â
Iris:Â âso what case are you working on?â
YN: âsomething brand new the Captain texted me that he was gonna leave samples of stuff on my desk⊠in a boxâŠâ
you pick up the box of evidence and smile. now you were in happy-ish work mode.Â
with your new outlook nothing could bring you down, well none except for them⊠in the ccpd there was a pair of men, they were the same jerks from when you and Barry were in high school. every single morning they walked well more like strided into your lab and began to bug you.Â
bully 1: âhey YN what do you call a lab coat with stains?âÂ
bully 2: "oh look its not a lab coat its a bitch thinking she can survive in a world where she does not belong.â
Bully 1: âand look she has a friend with her⊠i guess its a two for one special todayâŠâ
Bully 2:Â âwhich one do you want?â
Iris came closer to you, grabbing the mop where you grabbed the broomâŠÂ
Iris: âstay back or we will make you stay backâŠâ
Bully 1: âwell then make us⊠little bitches.â
those bullies just stood there and didnt move or anything but the second they started laughing both you and Iris set down the mop and the broom which in turn led to both you ladies walking up to those bullies and kicking them in the balls. then running off to talk to Captain Singh.Â
when you and Iris got to the stair case like 2 hallways away from the lab, Iris spotted her father and figured she would let you talk to captain singh alone.Â
Iris:Â âill catch you later YN!â
Iris said once both you and her got down the stairs, it was your job to get into singhs office and tell him about the bullying that was going on within the precinct walls.Â
you approached his door and knocked before opening.Â
YN: âcaptainâŠâ
Singh: âYN, shut the door & come in please have a seatâŠâ
you closed the door walking over to the chair to sit downâŠÂ
YN: âas you know since starting here i have developed a routine of mostly keeping to my work, or staying close to iris or joe or even you⊠well thats because alot of the precinct bullies and teases me⊠i mean lots of people do but the precinct does because of Barry⊠they think i only took a job here cause i wanted to be close to him.. thats not it at all⊠i love my job, its in fact one of the only jobs where i have people to shield me from the teasing and the bullying⊠captain i know that you havent heard about this breakthrough news yet, not many people know about it but Iris was here this morning she told me that Barry is awake and coming back soon! the people looking after him just want to run a few more tests on him to make sure he is healthy before they release him.â
singh: âwell we will be pleased and honored to have Mr. Allen back at his post and iâll be counting on you to show barry the new protocols and things. but as to the bullying issue, iâll make a formal announcement to the entire precinct to promote the new anti bullying law⊠henceforth, anyone found guilty of bullying another officer or member of the ccpd shall immediately be stripped of their rank, gun, badge and be discharged⊠how does that sound?â
You nod your head now having the thought of Barry, Barry how the hell would he react to hearing that since he got struck by lightning you fell prey to the bullying going on under the nose of the captain.Â
Singh:Â âshall we go make this announcement to the entire precinct and after wards iâll personally escort you back to your lab.â
YN:Â âthank you captain!â
you and singh walk out of his office, no one dared to touch you nor say anything cause of course you were walking to the staircase with the captain. at the top of the staircase you and Singh turned to face the rest of the precinct.Â
Singh: âattention everyone, its come to my attention very recently that there has been bullying happening within the walls of my precinct. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE⊠henceforth anyone caught bullying another member of this precinct shall be stripped of their badge, their gun and be discharged from service to the CCPD. i want everyone to take note and report directly to me if there is any known bullying activity happening, names and badge numbers when you report it in. is that clear?â
everyone below agreed, then Singh turned away from you leading you back to your labâŠÂ
Singh: âYN, i hope you know that no one will ever be able to take your position away from you⊠when Barry returns we will make sure to install key card access for your guys safety⊠but iâll let you go back to work, and iâll even let you take off early today. iâm sure you probably want to stop by and see Barry⊠or go back to your apartment and prepare to bring him home.â
at that moment before you could even say anything your phone started buzzing, it was a video chat request from Barry.. your face lit up, you turned your phone to show the captain, who bowed out gracefully.Â
you went to sit at the desk full of boxes as you answered the callâŠÂ
YN: âBarryâŠâ
Barry:Â âYN, looks like you are having fun!â
YN: âyour ok⊠ive been so worried!â
Barry could just chuckle watching as you show him a huge stack of papers.Â
Barry:Â âyour worried, ive been worried. your surrounded by people who will stop at nothing to bully and torment you, who will stop at nothing but to make your life miserable. i just hope that you are gonna be able to survive till i can come back.â
YN: âwhen is that by the way? Iris said it would be a few days⊠please tell me it will be sooner than that.â
Barry: âill be out as soon as i can! but tell me is the apartment still in tack⊠anyone else giving you a hard time?â
you turned your eyes towards the papers and instantly Barry knew that something was wrongâŠÂ
Barry:Â âis it the same idiots from high school.?â
thats when you broke down⊠you started crying⊠Barryâs only regret was that he couldnt be there to comfort you.
Barry:Â âas soon as i get out of this doctor office, iâll come and iâll save you. i promise!â
YN (sobbing):Â âi hope iâll survive, the captain knows ive been getting bullied. i just hope that you are gonna be out of there soon! i really miss my roommate/best friend!â
Barry: âi miss you too⊠i know its been a rough few months, i also know you spent quite a few nights here right beside me, so thank you⊠it helped me to sub consciously keep fighting cause i knew i had something precious to come back tooâŠâ
YN: âplease come back soon. i canât express into enough words how much i miss having you around. this lab is too big for just one person. besides this work would go alot faster with another person.â
Barry laughed hearing you try to sweet talk him into coming back early.Â
Barry:Â âwell what are you working on now? cataloging or closing?â
YN: âcataloging, and its annoying cause Singh wonât ease up on how much work he is giving me⊠i have currently several boxes full of different cases, but alot of these have the csi listed as you, are signed with your signature, i havenât been able to think about anything else since you got struck by lightning, i have forgotten to clean the apartment most days so now iâve hired a maid service for us, for our apartment, i know there is nothing else i can possibly say right now that will make you come back any faster but i will say this, when you get back there will be alot of hugs & lots of dancing in the rain. like we did the night of our high school graduation.â
Barry: âlots of dancing in the rain definately. but i gotta go unfortunately the doctor wants to run more tests⊠physical tests but iâll be out soon and then iâll give you the biggest hug ever.â
You blew a kiss into the phone and watched the screen go black. the call ended, the overwhelming sense of happiness that you were feeling at that moment, was a lot better than what you had been feeling when you had been by yourself this morning.Â
you finished cataloging 3 more files of paper and then made the effort to go check in with the captain before you left for the day. it was twilight when you left the station.Â
of course you had taken your time with cataloging you might have even cataloged a bit more than you had hoped to do, but there was no shortage of good thoughts on your mind.Â
now there had been alot of things on your mind before hand, you had so much more on your mind now. Barry was gonna be so surprised when he got back home. of course however when Barry would finally come home would be the first time in forever that you might actually want to tell him of your feelings or vise versa.Â
you stopped to pick up some dinner but you couldnt keep your mind off the fact that Barry would soon be back by your side where he belonged.
meanwhile at star labsâŠ
Barry:Â âhow many more tests do we have to run? honestly i got a life to get back too.â
Caitlin:Â âyou will be allowed to leave as soon as you perfect your control of your super speed. which if you complete this next simulation, you will hopefully have full control and be back home by tomorrow morning.â
Barry:Â âugh, i have a girl that ive been in love with since we were in school together and i canât survive the rest of my life, if i never have the courage to tell her how i really feel. look she has been bullied since we were in high school by these 2 idiots who now work in the ccpd. i hate the thought of her facing each day working with those 2 goons.â
Caitlin could only do so much more, so after 4 more hours of testing Barryâs abilities and vitals she realized that no matter what test she put him through, within those 4 hours he worked even harder and gained serious amounts of control over his abilities.Â
Caitlin: âwe are just about ready to send you home but there is something else that we would like you to do, we think you should become a heroâŠâ
Barry: âiâll think about it now can i pleaseâŠâ
thats when the star labs alarm went off⊠heading to the cortex, barry and caitlin met up with wells and cisco to find out the cause of the alarm. on the monitor it showed a dark barely lit alley with what looked to be a woman leaning scared against the wall with about 6 guys.Â
Cisco: âim just about to pull up the audio footageâŠâ
as soon as cisco pulled up the audio Barry took off in a black hoodie and red lightning.
in the alley
YN:Â âstay back leave me alone, one push of a button and this alley would be swarming with cops.â
attacker 1: âwell then do it, it will make this more of a partyâŠâ
Attacker 3:Â âlet see what she is wearing under neath that coat!â
but it was like a blur, a red, yellow blur of lightning a figure knocking away those goons before they could surround you anymore. but you hadnt time to thank this blur before he disappearedâŠÂ for the rest of your walk home, there wasnt any noise that you heard on that walk home that didnât make you shakeâŠ
quarter way from your apartment
it wasnât till you arrived on the home stretch that a familiar shadow was sitting on the steps of your buildingâs entry way.Â
Barry: âheyâŠâ
Your brain didnt register the voice at first till their form stood and moved towards you, forcing you to stop dead in your tracks⊠your body already quivering, made your knees buckle from beneath you right then and there you dropped to your knees in fearâŠÂ
Barry having seen this, knowing what you went through knowing also that he couldnt say anything about what happened nor him saving you. but instead only walked a bit more till he was half visible in the street light.
you hadnât stopped watching his form but yet still now standing right there, now under the street light your eyes now registered the voice to the figure now standing a few feet away.
YN: âBarryâŠâ
you got up off the ground immediately and ran straight for his embrace, realizing that you were now starting to spout tears of joyâŠ
Barry: âshh shh its okayâŠâ
YN:Â âyour home... but i thought...â
Barry:Â âthey let me go early... so i got a taxi here and ive been waiting here for you to come home ever since...â
you pulled back to look at him and then went to the front door and opened it, letting both of you inside... Barry & you didnât stop starring at eachother the entire way inside, it was nerve wrecking for both of you...
once in the apartment you had to turn away from Barry for a moment ashamed of the strewn case files everywhere..Â
Barry:Â âits like i never left... case files everywhere, take out on the counter.. dishes on the drying mat... let me guess the bed isnt made and the laundry is waiting to be folded...â
YN:Â âis it that obvious...â
Barry nodded but instantly went to work, putting trash in the trash and dishes in the cupboard... it really was like he never left... you removed your coat and your heels taking a sigh of relief... then going over to a small gift box with every single letter you had written for Barry since he had got struck by lightning.
Barry:Â âwhat ya got there...â
you brought the box over to Barry and handed it to him...Â
YN:Â âi wrote you a letter one for every single day you were gone... they contain my thoughts, feelings, and wishes... also they tell you what happened while you were well in coma... just keep an open mind when you read them... im gonna go put on a face mask and get into something less work related... then maybe you can help me sort through these case files.â
Barry:Â âof course... i cant even imagine what kind of torment you went through when i was gone...â
You instantlly thought about what happened many numerous times, being sexualized and bullied and teased and pushed around. it didnt make being without barry easy but all you could do was tough it up...Â
YN:Â âit was torture... and today wasnt much better i was chased and cornered in an alley on the way home, i was almost raped...â
you say as your walking towards the bedroom, upon hearing this though barry follows in suit, bringing his laundry bag and places it in the pile by the door. your sitting on the bed when he finally catches up to you.Â
Barry:Â âwhat do you mean you almost got raped tonight?â
YN:Â âi mean i was walking home and i almost got raped in an alley a couple blocks away... but a red lightning blur saved me... i was able to escape... but im shaken beyond belief.â
Barry:Â âyou are gonna be okay, now just relax... im not going anywhere...â
Barry got out of his sweater and took off his socks coming up behind you, he pulls you into his embrace and you sob uncontrollably against his chest, knowing that now he was home and you could finally rest easy.
both you and Barry now relaxing into a calm environment Barry looks at the box that he had put on his side of the bed... the box with all the letters you had written him... so with his free hand he opens the box, and begins to read the first letter...
YN (letter 1):Â âBarry, its been literally 24 hours since you got struck by lightning... iâm slowly getting into a different routine... one that right now till you wake up or even if you wake up.. ugh barry there are alot of things i wish i could have had the courage to tell you before but i guess telling you like this is better than not telling you at all... i love you Barry Allen... those bullies in school and at the precinct they were right to call us bf/gf... i know that you probably wonât feel the same but i hope this also doesnât change our friendship... i really miss you... oh ya i did say precinct, Singh gave me a job as temp csi... just until we know more about whether or not you wake up...i hope you wake up soon... its gonna be torture without you around. love YN.â
Barry set that one aside to open the next one...Â
YN (letter 2):Â âBarry, i cant take this... today i started a filing system of all the case files and stuff. i was handed a bunch of boxes and things today... of old cases and forensics that you had aparently signed off on... i still havenât brought myself the courage to come see you yet... i know it may be foolish but i know if i come by iâll cry. i cant do that... iâve cried enough to last a life time between all the bullying and you being comatose, im trying to find a safe haven in anything familiar. anyway hope you come home soon. love YN.â
thats when Barry decided to stop reading for the night... he closed the box and put it on his nightstand. cuddling up still holding you he too fell into a deep slumber.
the next morningÂ
he woke as you did to the sound of an obnoxious buzzing, you knew it was your phone and thus moved to grab it off your nightstand, you answered it putting it on speaker.
YN: âyeah...â
Singh: âthere is a case its fresh, and ripe still can you come down?â
YN: âyeah i can text me the address.â
thats when you hung up the call, knowing that your own demise would be showing up to work knowing that barry was home and not there with you... now Barry having heard your conversation with singh got up and started getting into a clean shirt and packing his csi bag as well as yours.Â
YN:Â âBarry what are you doing?â
Barry:Â âwhats it look like.... im coming with you...â
You got up going behind the changing cover grabbing your capris and your fave halter with the built in bra...
YN:Â âdont you want to take it easy? i mean you only just spent your first night back last night...â
Barry:Â âwhen have you ever known me to take it easy?â
You stopped for a moment amidst putting on your shirt...
YN: ânever... but thats not the point you should relax...â
Barry:Â âno what i need to do is come with you and show those bullies that you are not to be messed with...â
you were grateful to barry for that, but you still were concerned... you finished getting dressed and came out from the cover going over to Barry giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
YN:Â âthank you for being so concerned for me... ill be ready to go in a few minutes...â
you went into the bathroom and started on your hair, like normal Barry came in behind you after you finished brushing the hair, Barry began to braid your hair, for he knew it was difficult with such long hair to self braid, so for as long as you could remember.
Barry:Â âalmost ready to go?â
you pulled out your phone and opened the jitters app and this time ordered 2 cappuccinos with extra whip & Chocolate drizzle... you knew the order would be ready by the time you guys got there...
you put on your shoes and smiled wide as arm in arm you exited the apartment with Barry. it made you feel normal once more. walking down the street towards jitters, Barry walking in stride with you inside jitters everyone there was impressed. they started clapping.Â
the waitress handed you and Barry the cappuccinos and that when your phone dinged it was Singh with the address. you showed it to Barry who walked ahead of you to open the door of Jitters and walk out the door with you.
Barry:Â âlets go and see this crime scene... its just up the block...â
approaching the crime scene, you and Barry flashed your badges. officers starred at you guys, some of them clapped and welcomed Barry back...
Singh:Â âso this is your daily surprise! welcome back Barry!â
Barry:Â âthan you Captain... for also looking after YN while i was gone... i know i have alot to make up for but i hope i can start by helping sweep the area for clues.â
Singh:Â âwell then ill leave my 2 best csiâs to their jobs and ill expet a detailed report on your findings...â
you and barry nod, beginning to survey the scene. you went after prints and a few other things. Barry took photos of the scene, there was alot of blood and torn off limbs.Â
YN:Â âwhatever did this must have enjoyed themselves?â
Barry:Â âmust have but wha...â
Barry kneels down and sighs...
Barry:Â âYN come here and bring gloves with sample collectors.â
you brought over the gloves and sample collectors, but saw the horror before your eyes at what appeared to be shedded skin. you and Barry decided to contain as much of it as possible, for testing and further investigation.
YN:Â âit looks like someone shed this like a snake...â
Barry:Â âit does but lets collect all the other evidence and head to the lab, we need to start on this ASAP!â
YN:Â âi cant wait to start this with you... i look forward to it. lets go... wait till you see the new filing system that ive done with the lab...â
Barry smiles walking back and grabbing both of your bags and walking back to you grabbing both your pairs of gloves and throwing them in the trash both yo and barry get a heroes escort back to the station.Â
walking inside you felt safe, those bullies who had bullied you day in and day out didnt dare to bother you then for it became immediately clear that they wouldnt be able to touch you.
you led Barry up the stairs to the lab so familiar to both of you now. it was Barry who spoke about how the lab looked.
Barry:Â âi assume that you made these organizational changes cause it would be easier for us!â
YN:Â âyep, is that ok?â
Barry:Â âyep, now lets start the analysis!â
you and barry working together analyzing evidence something you had only dreamed about for the passed 9 months. but something didnt seem right, something seemed off...Â
you went over to the computer while barry was getting lunch and accessed the street cam from the alley where you were attacked, you cut the clip of who or whatever saved you but something was off, you didnt know what...
Barry came back with food and saw you looking at the blur photo, he then realized that if something wasnt said soon, you were gonna probably never believe him...Â
this however is when things fell apart... the entire lab went dark, Barry tripped over a chair dropping your shared lunch, then a figure with a slight glow about them appeared behind you and whisked you out of the lab with you screaming and kicking but it didnt do any good.Â
this left Barry very distraught, this was what he was afraid of... he used his speed to leave out of the fire escape and ran to star labs.
Barry:Â âyou guys think i should be a hero well here is my chance to find out if i can be one... my friend, the one i spoke to on the phone, the one that i saved from being raped in that alley, the one that wrote me a letter for every single day i was in acoma, the one who in her first letter admitted she loved me, she just got kidnapped from our work, from our office, i need to get her back...â
Cisco:Â Â âi have just the thing that you can use to conceal your identity to save your girl.â
cisco pressed a button and revealed a red suit with a lightning bolt logo.Â
Cisco:Â âit will not burn nor crisp, it will move with you and allow your electrical current through your body, as well as communicate with us here, and it will also..â
Caitlyn:Â âit will also allow us to monitor your vitals and health in battle, as well as it gives us the ability to shock resuscitate you should anything happen to knock you unconscious.â
Wells:Â âwe will be right here if you need us mr allen. Now Run Barry Run!â
Barry runs in a flash of red and yellow lightning to the suit and back out the door. Cisco pinged your location sending it to Barry, who runs faster finding that he canât help but feel somewhat responsible for this.
Barry:Â âhold on YN im coming.â
meanwhile
in an abandoned werehouse near the docks you were being dangled by a chain over a big cylinder of some sort of stinky liquid. one of the bullies from the precinct was standing above you he was glowing, then he stepped into the light.
YN: âyou killed those people, you shedded your skin... what the hell do you want?â
Carl: âwell thats simple, i want to mate... see did you know that a reptile needs to mate every spring and sometimes its with their own offspring... well your not my offspring but you will do for the mating ritual, just have to make you like me first.â
you screamed as he dove toward you and shredded your capriâs and then dove into the stinky liquid below. you were horrified you tried to climb the chain but it didnt work, it was about 10 minutes later when the bully Carl came out of the liquid.Â
Carl walked off the platform and over to the control panel he swings the chain probably making himself hard on hearing you scream, but that was also the moment when he grabbed you mid swing and pinned you to the platform.
at that moment something else came onto the werehouse property... or rather someone, someone who just so happened to hear you scream...
Flash: âhey lizard breath let her go...â
Carl: âwhy should i take orders from a man dressed in spandex?â
Flash: âfirst, of all its leather and second, thats not how you treat a lady.â
carl  just went back to roaming his hands along your body and all Barry could see was red, he took a risk and ran up the ladder and bowled into carl, though doing that caused you to go flying.
the chain came loose you were starting to slowly descend towards the liquid below. this cause another scream to leave your mouth, Barry upon hearing this takes a running leap of faith, catching you mid air he lands by the entrance holding you in his arms.Â
Flash:Â âare you alright?â
YN:Â âi knew you would come for me... yes im okay... a little disoriented but am okay... but find him, he cannot be allowed to escape justice.â
Flash:Â âdont worry he wont...â
flash sets you down on your feet and speeds back inside, you hear a couple distorted grunts and then a woosh comes passed you. suddenly the same blur that saved you from the alley way the other night was now standing right in front of you.
Flash: âive sent a anonymous call to the ccpd, they are dispatching some officeers to collect him when they do they will take him to Belle Reeve cause clearly he needs psychological and physical attention. but ccpd will be here soon, is there some place i can take you?â
YN:Â âi left my stuff in my lab back at ccpd, there is a fire exit at the back of the building, you can get in through there, its on the second floor. plus my csi partner and best friend will be worried about me, he is a little over protective, you know he has that over protective demenor that just makes me swoon whenever he is around. iâm so sorry you probably dont want to hear about this.â
Flash:Â âits okay, i kinda know how you feel, but lets get you back to your lab... can i carry you?â
You nod your head feeling strange but yet it didnt occur to yoou till your vision started to blur... Barry noticed it right away his visible features flooding with concern.
Flash:Â âhold on, miss, miss...â
Barry ran all the way to Central City General, where he proceeded to run you inside placing you in the care of some nurses he carefully but yet a bit quickly explained what happened. you had your ID in your shirt and you happened to still have your badge around your neck...Â
they knew exactly who you were... the nurses took charge of you, Barry however left his ccell number with them as an emergency contact for her... he then went and ran back to star labs where he dropped off the suit and ran back to ccpd...
Singh walked in to find Barry lying on the floor unconcious... Barry having only been like that a few moments woke up slowly to singh shaking him gently...
Barry:Â âcaptain YN was taken it was carl and...â
Singh:Â âwe know we have carl in custody who keeps raving on about a red and yellow blur rescuing YN...â
thats of course when Barryâs phone rang...Â
Barry:Â âBarry Allen...â
Nurse 1:Â âMr Allen My Name is Niomi, i am calling from Centra City General in regards to a YN YLN she was brought in by a guy in a red leather suit anyway she has been tested for a positive for snake venom... we are working on a cure, but can you come down?â
Barry having heard this, his face swarmed with panic flooding his initial facials...Â
Barry:Â âoh god ill be there as quickly as i can... does she need anything?â
Niomi:Â âwe got her a change of clothes from the gift shop on the house, but we do need to see her medical card and verify a few things... but mostly i think she would love it if you were here.â
Barry:Â âill be there soon, my police captain is coming as well. thank you.â
Barry and Singh were out the door faster than a speeding bullet, Singh used the siren to bypass all the evening traffic, arriving at the hospital they parked and ran inside.Â
Naiomi instantly recognized the worried look on Barryâs face.
Naomi:Â âyou must be barry...â
Barry:Â âwhere is she? ill verify anything that needs, ill sign whatever needs just let me see her please...â
Singh placed a hand on Barryâs shoulder and smiled lightly...
Singh:Â âill verify and sign papers and information for YN, Barry you should be at her side...â
Barry:Â âthank you captain.â
Singh walks up to the desk, while Barry is led by Naomi to the room where you were solely placed. Barryâs expression was written clear on his face, he was seeing you the way you had probably seen him when he fell into coma.Â
Barry:Â âplease tell me what you guys can do to fix this?â
Naomi:Â âWe are mixing more of the cure as we speak, the cdc is set up here already we had a few other cases like YN so we have been manufacturing it all day... its only a few hours away from being done. not to worry Barry, we willl do everything in our power to cure her, so you can tell her you love her..â
Barry looked at Naomi shocked...
Barry:Â âhow did you...?â
Naomi:Â âsimple ive seen enough people with pent up feelings of love to know the look when i see it... believe me mr Allen she is gonna be fine.â
Barry:Â âam i allowed to crawl into the bed and cuddle her in my lap, i wont knock out any of the cords i just want to hold her...â
Naomi:Â âcome remove your shoes and place them on the chair with your coat and bag, ill help you get comfortable holding her so we can still have access to her IV for administering the cure.â
Barry did as asked, crawling into the bed holding you as he did, Naomi placed a blanket over both of you and turned the light on low. she left the room, Barry placed his phone on the table beside the bed.Â
Barry:Â âim so sorry YN... i should have used my abilities, you shouldnt have been taken, not when i know i could have saved you. come on YN wake up, baby...â
Barry was lost in holding you close that he soon lost track of time, for a few short hours had passed before Naomi came into the room, Barry looked up his eyes blood shot from his having been crying. Naomi walked over to the IV Bag and replaced the bag and nodded at Barry whose eyes lit up.
Barry:Â âthats the...â
Naomi:Â âyes thats the cure. we will know if it worked within a few hours, try to get some rest Barry, when she wakes she will tell you iâm sure.â
Barry watched Naomi leave the room and gently leaned down to kiss your forehead...
Barry:Â âplease come back to me, i love you...â
Barry knew how to tell if you were awake, he leaned the bed back almost all the way before he allowed sleep to over take him. it had once more been several hours before Barry was felt you move in his arms.Â
you had been awake for a little bit but didnt move till now cause you wanted to enjoy being in Barryâs grasp.
Barry:Â âyour awake!â
YN:Â âshhh not so loud, ive got a bit of a headache.â
Barry kissed your forehead gently and you stayed in his arm till you moved slightly and felt the iv start to sting... Barry helped you press the call button and Naomi came in...
Naomi:Â âYN glad to see your awake, iâm Naomi ive been looking after you. what can i do for you?â
YN:Â âim pretty sure the iv isnt supposed to be stinging is it?â
Naomi comes over to take a look...
Naomi:Â âit got a little out of place not to worry ill take care of that... you both can continue your little conversation...â
Barry and you watched Naomi fix your iv and put a new bag on before she left, you had been able to tell for a while now that Barry had something to tell you...
YN:Â âspill Barry... what is it that you want to tell me?â
Barry:Â âwhat do you remember about what happened to you?â
you had to think about it while leaning your head closer to Barryâs chest, the flashes of last nights events came rushing back at you.
YN:Â âcarl was the shedding monster, he scratched me, he tried to rape me... Barry it was awful...â
Barry:Â âanything else..?â
YN:Â âyes there was a man, in red, with lightning speed, he saved me before i could hit the acid or whatever was in that container. he had this look about him like he knew me... like he was somewhat protective of me... but of course no where near as protective as you are Barry. why do you ask?â
Barry:Â âwhat if i told you that when i got struck by lightning it changed me...â
you looked up at Barry almost flooded with concern before you realized that ya it wouldnt surprise you if it did.
YN:Â âBarry any traumatic experience such as getting poisoned or getting struck by lightning changes a person drastically...â
Barry breathed in slightly before speaking again.
Barry:Â âwhat if i told you that getting struck by lightning it gave me abilities... ones that would allow me to lets say save you from getting raped in an alleyway, or from getting turned into snake woman...â
YN:Â âwhat if i said that i heard what you said last night...â
Barry:Â âyou heard me say what...â
YN:Â âthat you should have used your abilities, that i shouldnt have been taken, i heard you call me baby, i also heard you say 3 more words to me. but before we get into that... why wouldnt you have told me that you were the person who saved me right off the hop...â
Barry:Â âcause i didnt know if it would change how you felt about me. i read 2 of your letters the night i came home. i know how you feel about me... for many years YN ive stood by your side as your best friend and i always well, i was just kinda hoping that youâd... well ya know... fall in love with me...â
you smile and reach up with your not ivâd arm and cup Barryâs face... the glow in his eyes was only ever seen one other time before this moment by you, that was the night of your guys high school graduation where you both shared a drunken quiet moment in the school garden.
anyway long story short, Barry leaned into your touch and smiled.
Barry:Â âi love you YN...â
the kissing began quite quickly...

masterlist
mark, renjun, jeno, donghyuck, jaemin, chenle, jisung
big oof iâm gonna cry while writing this
iâm running out of creative ways to say letâs dive in
let us take the plunge
okay!!!!!!!!!! so youâve been an editor/writer for the school paper for pretty much all of your high school career
youâre not super well known though because you donât try to take any credit for anything and always sign your pieces like â- the daily newspaper teamâ or smthÂ
anywhom youâve always loved writing about the stuff around you or making up little short stories
one of your hobbies is just going people watching and trying to write down a brief description of people you see and what you think theyâre on the way to do
youâve befriended the baristas at your favorite spot, lucas and mark, and they always beg to read them but you never let them because mark is too nice to tell you itâs shit and lucas is too dumb to at least say it nicely
youâve got at least 6 notebooks FULL of these little stories but youâve never really ? showed anyone because wow showing others your work is Scary
criticism ???/$&/&:&:&:
itâs midway through the first semester of the school year and youâve been super busy since itâs football season and you gotta write about all the games
and you havenât had much time to write your cute little stories for yourself and you miss it a lot :/
this weekend though the chance of rain is SUPER high so the football game is cancelled and you have plenty of time to yourself !! :D
there is, a setback tho
THUNDER!!!!! IS SO SCARY !!!!!!
u fckin softie
you decide to tough it out though and get suited up in some polka dot rain boots and a rain jacket and set off to find somewhere to chill
as youâre walking to the nearest lil greenhouse/cafe thing it starts raining ,, ,,, hARDER
when you started it wasnât rlly raining it was just like that weird tension in the air right before the air pressure drops and it starts to rain and you were already on edge OOF
but then itâs raining so you clutch your notebook to your chest and dash
usain bolt had nothing on you girly you were ZOOM ZOOM
broom broom- doyoung
unfortunately you donât make it though because with you head down to keep the rain out of your eyes you run RIGHT into someoneâs CHEST !!!!!!
hehe u know iâm a sucker for these god damn TROPES
your notebook goes flying and and the arms attached to the Chest That Caused Your Grief come up to catch you by the arms
âoh gOD sorry are you okay ??? i wasnât looking and i was trying to keep my journal dr- MY JOURNALSDJDDDâ
you fling yourself out of this boys arms and pick up your soaking wet journal sadly
:((((((( you had so many stories in there wtf
âoh shit iâm sorry do you uh want me to buy you another one ???â
âno thatâs okay it wasnât your fault :( and itâs just a journal iâm only sad because all my stories are gone :(((((â
you finally look up from your Ruined journal to see , the prettiest boy
you canât tell for sure cause his hair is soaking wet but itâs a bright red that looks a bit faded and his skin is tanned and golden like HONEY OOF
he meets your eyes and awkwardly smiles and he looks so GUILTY AW
âno really itâs fine donât feel bad!!â
âokay but i feel bad what can i do to make it up to you?â
âhMMM you could come help me think of wacky stories about people who walk pastâ
âwell if you INSIST mâladyâ
âaw, never mindâ
âIM JUST KIDDING SJDJJDâ
so in the pouring rain you both walk to cafe and find a little corner to people-watch in
on the way there he tells you his name is donghyuck but his friends call him hyuck
âdude thatâs the sound goofy makes when he laughs your friends are terribleâ
âoh my god i donât even think they know what theyâre saying HsjdjHEHHSâ
after a couple minutes of bad goofy impressions you decide to call him duckie instead because ,,,, GARSH MICKEY đ€ đ€ đ€
also because itâs cute
you didnât hear this from me but he uwued so hard rip his street cred with the Boys
anyways right before you settle in youâre like hey uh did you have somewhere to be like werenât you heading places
and he was like nah i like the rain itâs nice to just walk around feels GOOD
your eyes widen so big and he snorts because whatâs so ridiculous about that
and youâre like uh UH NO NOPE NO SIR I DONT FUCK WITH DEMONS
your dramatic ass tries to get up and LEAVE but he grabs your wrist and is like noooo we havenât even written any stories yet why do you hate rain so much ??
you explain how thunder is the work of the devil and that lightning could strike you down where you stand at any moment and storms are EVIL
he chuckles and side eyes you
âaW you big wimp youâre afraid of thunderstorms arenât youâ
âyES. like any sane person would beâ
âyou know a lot of people actually like stormsâ
âlike i said, SANE people do notâ
and then you change the subject right quick because your face is getting RED with embarrassment
you n donghyuck spend like 2 hours just sitting in the corner and writing little scenarios on napkins
âoh shit that girl over there with the french braids is TOTALLY gonna marry hipster beanie guy in two years. mark my wordsâ
âidk y/n she lowkey has the hots for the baristaâ
â ew you mean mark??â
âyeah. now THAT man is a work of artâ
MARKHYUCK RISE
âgod what is wrong with you maybe you should buy me another bookâ
âtoo late now weâre FRIENDS and i donât owe you ANYTHINGâ
âbeing friends doesnât work like that at all but, okayâ
at the end of the day youâve got a stack of napkins with scribbled notes on them
(one of them has donghyuckâs number on it skdkkfjd)
he leaves you with a bright smile and youâre in awe this boy is so golden and lovely
oof and when you were still in the cafe his hair had dried to the unnatural red color that he ? somehow made look good ugh not fAIR
and it was a lil curly and fluffy and looked very soft :(((((
as you walk home you drift along the sidewalk with a stupid smile on your face wow please get a little less obvious hunty
when you get home the sun is setting and the rain has cleared and you are so Happy that was the best day !!!
you werenât even scared of the thunder because whenever the sky would fckin CRACK OPEN hyuck would subtly try to keep your attention and distract you with questions
the sky: AAAAAAAAAAA
duckie: oH Hey uhhh so hOW do you even come up these stories ?):$:$ theyre so good
such a sweet boy uwu
when you get home your mom eyes you suspiciously as you drift down the hall towards your room but doesnât comment
she didnât need to though because you immediately return and tell her everything !!!
she encourages you to befriend him at school and see where it goes from there ;))) or just TEXT HIM
so you do
both of those things !!!
you: hey!! itâs y/n btw
duckie: hey! u make it home alive without the sky cracking open and killing u
you: stOP MAKING FUN OF ME
you send him memes and he sends , even better ones back this boy is Husband Material
the next couple weeks you realize that hyuck is actually in like a lot of your classes
and heâs like yeah i donât blame you for not noticing since your nose is always in one of those Damn Journals
canât believe u smh
anywhom
you start actually interacting with people in class
and by people i mean donghyuck and any of his friends who happen to be there
you literally get thrown into their friendgroup like one day you know donghyuck and have vaguely heard of jeno since heâs on the soccer team
and then the next youâre a part of the group message and jaemin begs for your math homework during lunch ????
âjaemin just dO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK FOR ONCE ???â
âugh but i donât know howâ
âhey you know what maybe if you didnât sleep in class you WOULDâ
âIM TIRED GOD DAMN ITâ
this is usually when duckie interjects with
âhey now girls, youâre both smart <3â
âi know im smart but , jaemin , i donât know about him đđâ
poor jaemin leave him alone :(
jisung is , extREMELY awkward around you because heâs a Baby Freshman and youâre a Female Senior hsjdjf itâs so cute
and chenle is the complete opposite he IMMEDIATELY latches onto you and is always like
ây/n !!!! wanna watch this video of me singing and playing the piano when i was thirteen on live national television !!!!â
ây/N !!!!!!! can you drive me n jisung to get ice cream plEASE !!! we wonât even play PSY this timeâ
âokay,,,,, pinky promise?â
his pinky hooks around yours at an incredible speed as he jumps up and down with excitement
âpinky promise !!!!!!!!!!â
hyuck overhears and insists upon coming with for , unknown reasons
renjun and jeno keep snickering to each other across the lunch table too uGH
sneaky bastards !
after school you wait in the parking lot for the Babies with hyuck who looks rather flushed considering his skin is pretty tan and it takes a lot for him to visibly blush ??
âhey duckie boy you good?â
âhaha yEAH uh just wondering where the boys are hhhhâ
âoh yeah ! they shouldâve been here like 10 mins agoâ
your phone buzzes in your pocket and you go to check it to see a text in the group message
lele: hey y/n~ me n jisung canât come we totally forgot we joined a frisbee team and thereâs practice today !!!
blueberry: yeah ! have fun w/ hyuckie tho
moominluvr96: sjdjd iâm so proud of them
jenomunomunomu: absolute legends have fun at ur frisbee practice my sons
you: đ
±ïžro i wanted to go home and SLEEP
blueberry: sorry ! xoxo :*
duckie: chenle my son ? how could you đ
±ïžetray me this way???
you: ur dead to me
you: literally whatâs a chenle ?? sounds like a poisonous fruit
lele: NO IM SORRY
but tbh youâre just being Silly you donât mind just going with Sunshine Boy
hyuck has only gotten redder as the texting went on though whatâs his deal 0.0
you agree to take his car !
actually you insist because you donât wanna drive but, letâs say you agreed
you find out that hyuck exclusively listens to hipster bands and the occasional troye sivan song because we love a gay legend
actually his music taste is ALL OVER THE PLACE but we r still boppin ladies
you roll the windows down even tho itâs Chilly and let your hand float in the breeze until your fingers start getting numb and you pull your hand back in and roll up the window
okay maybe that was a Bad Idea your fingers almost hurt theyâre so cold and youâre rubbing the feeling back into them when hyuck clears his throat
you look up at him and he tilts his chin toward the hand he stretched toward you
youâre confused bc like ? i donât have anything to give u duckie
he sighs anxiously
âjust. give me your hand. mine are warm because i didnât try to be cool and stick my hand out the window like this is a teen coming of age movieâ
âhave you ever just been nice and not followed it up with a weirdly specific insultâ
ânope. now gimmeâ
you cautiously placed your hand in his and felt heat bloom all over your cheeks and trail up to your ears and down your neck
he gulps and interlocks your fingers and tucks them in the pocket of his hoodie
you have to lean against the console in between you a little so that your arm isnât strained but itâs,,,,, Warm and Nice
youâre quick to continue the conversation like normal but your voice sometimes goes in and out since he is subconsciously rubbing his thumb over the back of your hand or tapping his fingers against yours
when you arrive you awkwardly pull your hand from his grip to get out of the car and he cringes a lil :(
you decide to be bold for once in your life and run around the car to catch up with him and shove your other hand into his
âthis oneâs cold tooâ
he ducks his head and smiles but gives your hand a lil squeeze :3 uwu
eventually though you do have to let go and enjoy your ice cream
you just make small talk with him about the newspaper and whatever homework is due the next day when a man walks in wearing BRIGHT RED CLOWN SHOES
the weirdest part though is the fact that other than the clown shoes the man is dressed like a body builder and has the hulking mass of one
and also there is a PARROT ON HIS SHOULDER ???
you and hyuck whip to face each other and then look back at the man
without looking away you slide your notebook to the middle of the table and flip open to where youâve bookmarked the next available page
needless to say you both have a field day making up storylines for this man
âhey hyuckie i missed this itâs been forever since itâs been just the two of us and my journalâ
âme too, sunshineâ
âheY now youâre the sunshine in this relationshipâ
both of you choke at your use of the term ârelationshipâ but continue with the conversation JSKSK
âalright but then you have to be the rainâ
âaw you know i donât like the rainâ
âyes i know thatâs why YOU are sunshineâ
âkay but you are so much more like sunshine than i, an Emoâ
âhow bout i be sunshine since you like sunshine and me, and you be rain since i like rain and youâ
OOF ????????
you blush for the Millionth Time and nod shyly and duckie is about to turn purple YIKES
you leave the ice cream shop and climb back in the car and the whole atmosphere is very Tense
you sigh because you miss holding his hand and then turn up the song on the radio which just happens to be, Walkin On Sunshine
THE !!! IRONY !!!
you giggle into your hand and he snorts and you both break into laughter
you plug your phone into the aux
âalright time for some Real Tunesâ
âi swear to GOD if you play Bad Boy one more time iâm gonna LOSE ITâ
âfuck you red velvet are LEGENDSâ
âthe only reason you know who they are is because mark tells everyone with a pulse that one of them is from canada just like himâ
âokay and ??? i can still appreciate that they produce iconic songs onlyâ
âLISTEN I LOVE RED VELVET TOO BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGHâ
you playfully bicker the whole way back and when you get back to the school to pick up your car you realize you never even got to play your song
âfor your information, i was in fact NOT going to play bad boy i was going to play the bop of the century, what is love by twiceâ
and then, with heavy sarcasm
âwell gee why didnât you just sAY SOâ
âIM SICK OF YOUR GIRL GROUP SLANDER LEE DONGHYUCKâ
then he giggles and grabs your hand to keep you from getting more than halfway out of the car
âokay okay you know iâm just messing with youâ
âyes but leave my gorls out of itâ
he releases your hand with fake disgust and wipes it on the passenger seat headrest
âugh go home, gruâ
âitâs a good meme and you canât even deny it duckie boyâ
you blow him a half serious half playful kiss as you bounce over to your car and climb in
you play bad boy and roll the windows down as you drive by his car just to spite him and he laughs good naturedly
itâs only when you get home that youâre like heyyyy nOW
WAS THAT A DATE ??????
you tell your mom about it and sheâs like uHHH sounds like a DATE to me ???
but youâre Unsure so you donât say anything to the others or hyuck just the usual goodnight texts and whatnot
although it could be argued ,, that goodnight texts are a little, relationship-y
it could also be argued , that you do have his contact name as , duckieâŒâ„
but those can be discussed another time
you continue to hang out with the boys although you refuse to allow them to sit with you at football games because theyâre so DISTRACTING
jeno and jisung just fckin yell the whole time while you try to jot notes down to turn it into a story later for the paper
but you canât concentrate or even figure out wtf is goin on because theyâre scREAMING and jumping and messing you uP !
so you sent them elsewhere although,,, hyuck stayed with you
he always does âjust in case you get cold or smthâ
ur not fooling anyone hyuckie baby
and would you look at that time has FLOWN and itâs time for homecoming !!!!
you plan on going in a big group with hyuck and all The Boys and jaemin has even scored a date !!!
it was highkey through trickery but thatâs okay
chenle and jisung are gonna wear matching shirts because theyâre headass like that
youâve already bought a dress and you havenât âŠ.. shown hyuckieâŠâŠ. just in caseâŠâŠâŠ he asks you
since heâŠâŠ hasnât âŠâŠ YET
renjun keeps assuring you that you donât need to find a date and that everything is covered but ???? inch resting how duckie has done nOT ONE THING
alright the day of the dance you wake up feeling a little off but go through your normal saturday routine of eating a waffle and absentmindedly watching old gossip girl reruns
but later in the day you feel SHITTY
youâre flushed and your head hurts and it takes so much EFFORT just to get up and get a glass of water
you , comrade, are sick :-(
you text in the gm to let your boys know you canât come
chenle thinks youâre faking until he calls and hears you sniffling and how rough your voice sounds
âhEY THOT I KNOW UR FAKING BC U DONT HAVE A DATEâ
âchenle if it didnât hurt to speak i would yell at u but my eyes are watering please just text meâ
âoh,,,,sorry love uâ
and then he hangs up real fast lmao
so you decide to just wallow in despair in your bed and rent overpriced movies on demand
thereâs a half drank mug of tea that has long gone cold that contains the medicine youâre supposed to be taking but,, you canât be bothered tbh lifting your hand is so hard
after a few movies and the sun setting thereâs knock at the door ???
you barely hear it since youâre in your room with the door closed but /sigh/ you gotta go answer
you drag yourself out of bed and stumble to the front door and open it, immediately slumping against the frame
this whole time you have still not opened your eyes because light hurts a lil and you know your house well enough
in hindsight that was probably dumb considering you donât know whoâs at the door
you try to open your eyes but they only turn half lidded and droopy so you can just barely make out donghyuck looking Concerned on your front porch
âduckie? what are u doing here?â
âuhhh i uh came to take you to homecoming ??â
he then holds up some flowers and smiles awkwardly
âduckie. baby. sunshine. did u not read the texts i sent ? also it is VERY late to be asking me to homecoming. also, i am a little high on cold medicationâ
âsrry princess, can i come in? you look like you need company and soup and possibly some Sarcastic Banterâ
âsounds good duckâ
âokay duckie was already incorrect please donât shorten it to duckâ
âyou know i didnât have to let you inâ
âso what kind of soup do you want? :-)â
he busies himself attempting to make soup while you have melted into a chair at the dining table with one eye cracked open to watch him
he is very obviously Struggling so you wobble to your feet to stand behind him at the stove and maybe lean a little too much into his back to prop your chin up on his shoulder and reach a hand around him to turn the heat down on the stove
youâve reached the point of I Donât Give A Shit and have given up on trying not to be affectionate with him youâre too tired and sickly to restrain yourself and his heart is just steadily beating faster and faster
after your soup you drag him into your bedroom to force him to provide you warmth while watching another movie
but he digs his heels into the floor and tugs on your hand to turn you around
âsince youâre missing homecomingâŠ.. wanna dance?â
âin my bedroom. while iâm dying. with no music.â
âiâll take care of the music. cmon donât be difficultâ
âiâm not being difficult iâm just-
youâre cut off by him pressing a finger to your lips and going shhhhhh
you open your mouth to curse him out bc hOW DARE HE
but then he gently pulls you by the waist into his chest and does his best to tuck you under his chin
youâre too comfortable like this so you donât bother admonishing him for earlier and just settle into his embrace
you loop your arms around his neck as he starts to sway you back and forth
after a couple seconds he starts humming, quietly at first and then louder
and then he starts singing and itâs so sO SWEET AND SOFT
you can feel each breath he takes under your hands and the vibrating of his vocal chords against your forehead and you just close your eyes and press closer to him
youâve literally never been this content in your whole life binch
he is so warm and ever so often smooths a hand up and down your spine whenever you shiver a little or shift in his arms
when the song finishes you keep swaying with him a little while longer
youâre leaning against him so hard that like the majority of your weight is on him yikes
âbabe are you asleepâ
âmmâ
âno?â
âmmmâ
âpretty close though?â
âhmâ
âalrightâ
he chuckles and presses a barely there kiss to the top of your head and sort of waddles the two of you over to the bed
you donât even have to ask him to climb in with you that was The Plan, Stan
(thatâs a saying and also iâm calling u a stan wow queen of puns)
as soon as he settles in you tuck yourself under his arm and throw an arm over him to play with the fingers of his other hand
youâve got the breakfast club on and itâs Real Nap Hours
hyuckâs arm falls asleep pretty soon tho so instead you switch to laying on your sides facing each other with your face pressed into his neck and your arms draped over each other
right before you fade into unconciousness, he tilts his chin down and nudges his nose against yours to get your attention
your eyes flutter open and you look up at him while he smiles gently down at your sleepy expression aWE ???
âhey wanna be my date when youâre not on your death bed?â
âgod, what a romantic. is that a shakespeare quote?â
âshut up and say yesâ
âalright fineâ
âwith more enthusiasm!â
âYES!! GOD DAMN ITâ
he shakes his head but then leans down to press a lingering kiss against your cheek before tucking you back against him and evening out his breathing
you fall asleep and dream of boys with beautiful voices who love to dance in the rain
a couple hours later you wake up to a forehead smooch and your Boy whispering bye angel
you sit up and whine and heâs like bby i have to go itâs like midnight n my momma wants me home :(((
you pout and he giggles and taps your lips with his index finger
âgo back to sleep and iâll text you something nice to wake up to yeah?â
you nod and grab his hand to kiss it before flopping back down and passing The Fuck Out
the next morning you wake up still feeling a bit shitty but smiling anyways bc youâve scored the cutest boy in the universe uwu
he even kept his promise and left you a cute message to wake up to ;((((
duckieâŒâ„: good morning bbg i hope ur feeling better today and that the sun shines all day for u !!!
you: JEKDKDJ DUCKIE IM STILL SICK BUT TAKE ME ON A DATE RN

duckieâŒâ„: noooo ur gross
you: you ruined it :(((
duckieâŒâ„: i mean noooo u gotta get better
you: okay :)))
you finally get over your cold like 4 days later and insist youâre fine to be Taken Out And Treated Like A Princess
he tells you to dress warm except gloves bc he wants to hold youR HAND CAN YOU BELIEVE
youâre weirdly not nervous ? like you thought you would be but youâre just excited and very happy !!!! uwu
he picks you up about an hour after school and reveals that heâs gonna take you to all the cafes in town to people watch and write stories which is !!! your favorite activity !!!!!!
âis it lame??? oh god you think itâs lame iâm so sORRYâ
ânO!!! no i love it you did goodâ
âare you sure?â
âyes duckieâ
âokay good i mean i knew youâd like itâ
âbut you just-â
âhm?â
â,,,,, nevermindâ
you both hike around town until it gets late and youâre tired and you end up on a bench in the local park with his head in your lap and your fingers in his hair
you lightly scratch his scalp and hum and he practically PURRS like a cat
(furry ????? itâs more likely than you think)
his eyes are closed and you trace your fingers over his features lightly until it tickles and he scrunches up his nose aw bABY !!!!!
then, without opening his eyes
âso when are you gonna man up and kiss me?â
âfirst of all, i will never man up i prefer being female thanks. sECOND WHY DO I GOTTA DO ITâ
âi asked you on the date !!! you gotta do something!!!â
âi held your hand first!!â
âafter i literally offered my hand to youâ
âuGH fine come hereâ
âno iâm not gonna âcome hereâ you literally just made a disgusted noise at the thought of kissing meâ
âit wasnât at the thought of kissing you it was just at youâ
âthis isnât helping at allâ
you roll your eyes playfully and then yank him up by the collar of his shirt to press your forehead against his
âdoes this help?â
aND THEN YOU LAY ONE ON HIM ??????:$&:&;&;
QUEEN OF CONFIDENCE
he sighs against your lips and sits up a little more so he can reach you better, smoothing a hand up to cup the side of your jaw and neck
you pull away and his eyes are still closed
âhmmm,,, yeahâ
you scoff and drop him back to half laying on your lap
âyouâre such a dorkâ
âyeah but iâm your dork now so itâs embarrassing for both of usâ
âaw i wouldnât have it any other way <333â
âis it just me or was that sarcasmâ
âjust you <3333â
renjun, who has been rOOTING FOR YOU GUYS THIS ENTIRE TIME
screams when you call him that night lol
literally SCREECHES
chenle happens to be with him and screeches eVEN LOUDER
basically the whole group screams simultaneously theyâve been shipping it since day one
hyuck is a bit prideful so when you guys are out in public heâs not super affectionate but ,, when youâre not out
heâs wrapped around you like a koala and will never let go
you have to go pee? hold it
youâre dehydrated and dying? you can live off of his Love
your favorite activity to do together is BAKING because it never goes well no matter how hard you try
and although it usually ends in DISASTER itâs also a good time and afterwards duckie lets you curl up between his legs on the couch and nap uwu !
dating really didnât change the dynamic between you two other than affection you still read each other to DUST on the regular  lmao
no one gets too harsh tho bc you love each other and whatnot
ugh love ruins all the FUN doesnt it :/
donghyuck makes it his business to know exactly when it will rain and makes sure to be with you when it does
at the first sight of clouds he is in your house with board games and movies and snuggles to distract you !!! what a sweetheart
on days when itâs really bad you just climb into bed and bury your face in his chest while he talks about whatever comes to mind and distracts you
he also takes to slumping down and falling asleep on your shoulder whenever you have movie nights together and itâs so CUTE
his little heart shaped lips and his cheeks always end up smushed and he just looks adorable wow rip you
heâs obsessed with your cheeks he loves to cup your face while he talks to you and press gentle kisses to them during Sleepy Time or when you part ways in the school hallways
if heâs excited heâll bound up behind you and wrap his arms around you and kiss your cheek real hard and then start babbling about whateverâs got him so worked up

To Find Your Peace
Authors Note: This is number one of the not posted Hummel Holidays fics....this had been stuck for well over a year and 9 months or so because I couldnât find the right mood to describe tacky Christmas decorations. Obviously, I should have just waited until July, when I find most Christmas decorations tacky...due to the fact I shouldnât have to see them in stores yet...(hereâs looking at you Hobby Lobby!)
Anyway, on to the story
To Find Your Peace
rated:PG
Pairing: None.
Prompt 5: Decorations
Kurt should have known something was up the day after Thanksgiving...but he had believed his dad when heâd said that they were going to blend family traditions for holidays just like theyâd blended families and no single family was going to be given precedence.  They all insistedâŠwell his dad and CaroleâŠthat the first Thanksgiving wasnât going to count at all because it was all about introducing families to each other for a longer period of time than the wedding and just making sure no one killed anyone else.  Therefore no oneâs traditions were being used.
HoweverâŠhe should have realized something was up when he asked his dad what time to be home from shopping so they could put up the outdoor lights and his dad had answered he didnât need to worry about it, especially since his dad then handed over five hundred bucks and hadnât even told Kurt to get something nice for the Mildreds and whoever else was usually on his dadâs Christmas shopping list from the mall and then to use whatever extra Kurt ended up with on something fun, like he usually did if he gave Kurt money for Black Friday shopping.  (Kurt did his dadâs shopping anyway; he even bought a few base gifts for Carole and Finn. It hadnât been worth itâŠalthough his dad approved of the gifts heâd picked, he complained the whole time that now he had to find somewhere to hide them all until Christmas, because apparently Finn was a snooper, go figure.  Kurt ended up needing to wrap everything up and take everything with him to school. And since he had the stuff at school he had to spend the money to send off the gifts to everyone on his dadâs list who was out of town and had to finish up shopping for the guys his dad worked for since his dad couldnât remember what Kurt had already bought and his dad didnât send extra money for any of that.)
His second clue that something was amiss should have been that he distinctly remembered Puck talking about the Hudsonâs house being all light up by Thanksgiving time every year. Â So, if they were combining traditions, shouldnât putting up lights outside the day after thanksgiving have been within the realms of combining tradition?
But he didnât notice anything was off and he trusted his dad, and so his requests to hang lights were put off for the rest of the weekend and then it was Monday and he was back off to Dalton and he was well aware he wasnât getting home until school let out for break unless he was extremely luckyâŠwhich he hadnât been.  He may not have been at Dalton for long, but he still had to take finals with the rest of the bunch.  Kurt figured heâd averaged about three hours of sleep a night from the time he got back from Thanksgiving to the last of day  finalsâŠthe 16th⊠which was the last day of regular classes, although he wasnât allowed to go home until the 22nd, unless his parent came and checked him outâŠwhich his parent hadnât. His parent hadnât even shown up for the Dalton Parentâs day on the 17th, let alone checked him out early.  That was embarrassing.  He still has no idea if anyone bought his emergency at the shop story.
Kurt had had a miserable December.  No one helped brighten it at all. (Blaine might have brightened it briefly with the song they sang together; however he promptly went on to dis Kurtâs festive accessories and tell him to stop singing Christmas carols in the halls, so noâŠ) There was no advent of daily activities.  And although his dad did make it to the Nutcracker to see it with him, like heâd promised right after his heart attack, he missed half of it because a ball game he was watching with Finn went into overtime. It wasnât even a game that involved either of the twoâs favorite teams. And Burt left immediately afterwards because Carole wanted Burt to go out to eat with her and had made reservations for them and Burt didnât want her upset if he didnât make it. Kurt was given house demerit points for his string of lights and the electric candle in his window and the holly and ivy garland heâd hung in his room (and for the sprig of Holly he attached to his uniform and the hot chocolate maker he had in his room.)  The only one who appreciated the card heâd given them was Jeff, at least as far as he could tell.  He even got in trouble for baking, because he was distracting too many boys from their studying. And he found out the last day of class that he probably couldnât board the next semester unless they could fork over at least another three thousand bucks on top of tuitionâŠ.which theyâd only managed to pay for the quarter, not the full semesterâŠby the end of December (and that wasnât even the full boarding amount, since they hadnât been informed they needed to fill out paperwork to keep Kurtâs emergency student status past the end of the semester). (Apparently the Headmaster had emailed his father about it early in December, but his dad hadnât responded at all.) Kurt had packed everything in his dorm room that he wasnât using and moved it to his SUV that night.  There was no way they could come up with that much on top of tuition in less than two weeks, not In December. Then he got reprimanded for watching unapproved videos over the weekend after most the other boys had left, except those staying the whole vacation period. The last few days were spent working off his demerit points by cleaning classrooms for teachers who were as unhappy to still be at the school as he was.  He was looking forward to going home and putting up the Christmas tree and relaxing by a fire in the fireplace while he sipped hot chocolate. He was going to play Christmas Music and sing to it as loud as he wanted and watch Christmas Movies, maybe even all night long!  He was finally freed to head home at what would have been then end of the school day of the 22nd.  Kurt finished packing the SUV with the rest of his stuff and left Dalton. It was past 3pm when he finally got out of there.
It snowed the whole drive home -blizzard conditions- so the two hour drive took nearly twice as long. Heâd nearly been run off the road three times and each time he later saw the idiot drivers in the ditch. Â Heâd been stuck as emergency vehicles struggled to get through for twenty minutes behind a diesel truck which wasnât burning its fuel properly. His head hurt and he was cold and tense. By the time Kurt pulled onto the street the house was on all he wanted was to go home and hopefully be able to get things together for Christmas with some semblance of sanity surviving to maybe even enjoy something about the season. Â He figured the outside lights would be up, but he looked forward to decorating inside. Surely his dad had left the garlands for him to do and the tree for him to help with. He dreamed all the way home of putting the garland up the banisters on the stair cases, and over the mantle of the fireplace. Â He thought about what cute things they could do with a wreath for the front door, because surely Carole and Finn would enjoy one and so his dad would finally allow one. Â Maybe his dad would even agree to a garland along the tops of the china cabinets and the bookshelves this year. Â Kurt had been trying for years (since the year after his mom died) to get his dad to agree to more than just the tree and a garland on the fire place mantle, finally winning the banisters when he was 14. Â His dad always said that more than that was just not necessary, a waste of money, and too much in a tasteless manner, not a good one. Â Kurt had found some plaid ribbon though, and some woodland critters which would be sedate and not too loud, so maybe that could convince his dad. Â He thought about what ornaments needed to be on the tree, and which could be left off so Finn and Carole could have space for theirs. Â He wondered what stories heâd learn as they put up the tree and talked about what the ornaments meant or when they were bought or made.
He was debating inside his head whether or not to include the Elvis Bear on the tree when he realized heâd driven past his houseâŠbecause that monstrosity of tasteless inflatables and obnoxious outdoor illumination could not possibly be his house.  His dad wouldnât even allow Kurt to string lights around the small pine in the front yard or exchange the regular walkway light for candy canes or Christmas shaped lights.  The inflatables up in their yard werenât even tasteful inflatables.  There was Sponge Bob and Simpsons and Mario and Mr.Potato Head inflatablesâŠand was that Santa in an outhouse with half his rear end showing?  There was a Santa in a hot tubâŠand a Santa waving from a camperâŠand some sort of superhero group.  On the top of the house were wooden Reindeer cutouts, lit up and a fake chimney with Santaâs butt showingâŠagainâŠlit up so no one could miss it.  The house was dripping with lights, in no orderly fashion what so everâŠlights of multi colored lights went into white blinking lights or icicle lights then back to colored, no pattern or  reason to them. The colored lights didnât match each other and even the white lights didnât match each other. There were even pink and turquoise lights and purple lights.  There were lit stars and snowflakes, which Kurt would have liked had they been hanging from the eves like they were meant to be and not attached to the side of the house, literallyâŠto the siding...at least a foot under the window sills. Everything was covered in lights, but not wellâŠlight nets werenât put on correctly and left huge sections blank, only half of things were strung with lights, or if the full item was cover, it wasnât covered with anything that matched. There were dozens of animatronic lit crittersâŠbears, deer, reindeer, penguinsâŠthat didnât match...as some were again colored and some were white (different whites as well), and dozens of those spiral trees his father had forbidden Kurt from having (Kurt had wanted two⊠a tall one and a shorter one.)âŠseveral of which actually clashed with each other even though they sat right next to each other. There were large plastic candy canes and plastic choir boys and plastic carolers and plastic Santas and plastics elves and plastic snowmen and plastic candles and Kurt thought he might even see plastic aliens in the yard, and possibly a plastic camel. They were scattered throughout the yard like someone had shaken a dice cup and let loose.   The walkways to the house were lined with Red and Green and blue and white and orange and black rope lights, in no manner that made any sense.  Kurt pulled into the drive way and stared.
When he opened the car door, he was blasted with four different Christmas songs being piped out from somewhere in the mess. Â The cacophony was nearly painful. Â Kurt wasnât even allowed to play Christmas Music loud enough to be heard throughout the house, let alone outside it.
Kurt sat in his SUV and stared.  The front porch not only had a wreath on the front door, one of those huge ones made of garishly colored meshâŠit was bright pink and lime green and teal for goodness sake and the only thing that made it look Christmas like was that it was covered in glass balls of the same garish colorsâŠbut it had wreathes on both the pillars of the porch and they didnât match.  One was a huge evergreen wreath that would have been lovely without the batman themed ribbon and decorations and the other was made of the type of bows you buy in bulk to put on presents, with the sticky square backs, in the worst color assortment ever.
Strands of gold, silver, green and red tinsel garlands hung on each side of the doorâŠjust hung down, the slight breeze was making them sway to and fro.  Across the top of the door was a baby blue fake pine garland trimmed with pink lights. The blue of the garland clashed with the teal of the wreath, let alone everything hanging to the sides of the door.  The porch was littered with wood cutouts that were poorly painted.  One of the elves looked positively demonic and seemed to have pointed buck teeth painted on it.
Even the normal tasteful sconces that generally served as the covers to the porch lights had been replaced by hideous Santa faces from which the glow of the porch lights made Santa look like his eyes were glowing.
Kurt took a deep breath; grabbed two suitcases filled with his stuff from Dalton in them, and braved the front door. Â The moment he stepped on the porch a new set of Christmas Music blasted through speakers. It didnât mesh with any of the other blaring songs at all. He scrunched up his face and plotted the closest way to the nearest pain meds to ease his head ache and then the fastest way to his bedroom. Then he opened the door.
It looked like a five year old had hung streamers for a birthday party, except with tacky tinsel garlands and crepe paper in every color sold. Â There was no pattern to the mess, just tinsel garland and crepe paper tacked into the ceiling, hanging down to far, criss-crossing willy nilly and clashing often. Â The entry way walls were plastered in holiday pictures and cutouts and even window clings that had been taped to the wall with packing tape. There were tacky singing fish wearing Santa and Elf hats that sang as you walked in the door. Somewhere else in the other room other singing things started up, ones that were noise activated. Christmas music blasted through the house, loud and annoying.
There was nowhere to hang his coat or put his shoes because the coat rack and shoe cubbies were filled with horrid Christmas sweaters hung where they could be seen and bins of pine cones and wooden blocks painted like giftsâŠpoorly paintedâŠ.and the most horrid mixed colors ofâŠplastic ballsâŠand sticks? Ribbon bows were tied to everything they could be tied to, often with jingle bells hanging from themâŠbut there wasnât any cohesive color scheme.  There were purple and pink and red and green and lilac and neon yellow and lime green and orange and brown and black and a red that was either brick or blood bows scattered throughout the entryway and hall.  The floor itself was covered in Christmas themed welcome matsâŠ.dozens laid out on the floor in a odd type of runner.  The entry ways to the living room and dining room were framed by stringy tinsel like the front door, which seemed to reach out to him as he walked by due to the mass amount of static generated by the sheer amount of tinsel.
He walked by the arched opening to the dining room first and looked in.  And immediately wished he hadnât.  There were four Christmas trees on the dining room table.  They werenât small, really, each was about three feet to three and a half feet tall.  They were mashed together due to the fact the dining room table lacked the space for them all. One was bright pink and one was lime green, the other two were pine colored, and at least one was real judging by the amount of pine needles on the table.  The pink tree was covered with cupcakes and the most hideously scary looking gingerbread ornaments and baby blue beads and ribbons and purple topical scary looking birds with huge feathered tails and flamingos and cocktail glasses and donuts and then Victorian looking lace and conesâŠthat werenât the same nearly neon pink as the tree and so looked bad on it. The lights were bright red and blinked.
The lime green one wasnât any better.  There were red and lime green balls and ribbons and lots of candy ornaments in various colors and patterns, shoved in with feathery birds in extremely bright pinks and teals and purples and yellows and oranges, neon colored swim suits and goggles and snorkels and swim fins, and loads of very bright fake extremely glittered citrus fruit.  The birds didnât even match the other tree.  The tree was topped with peacock feathersâŠ.the colors of which matched maybe one freaking feathered bird.  The lime green treeâs lights were bright pink and chased through some strangely timed pattern.
The real pine tree was covered in small kitchen ware and bake ware type items, and could have been fine if not also mixed with seashells and sand dollars and beach items and a ribbon that went around it that encouraged all to have a Bloody Merry Christmas and looked like it was splattered with blood. Â It also had bright red lights, a shade darker and adding to the blood feel.
The final tree was completely stuffed with religious ornaments.  Heâd been to Aunt Mildredâs during Christmas season.  Aunt Mildred was veryâŠevangelical. She did a Jesse tree and Nativity tree. Everything was wrapped in Jesus Loves You paper and Jesus is the Reason for the Season paper.  It only lasted a few years, but Kurt was there for them. He thought it more tasteless than not even back then, but now he was thinking his Aunt Mildred did it tastefully.  The first problem was that it was just packed so full and nothing matched.  The bright crayon colored circles proclaiming Jesusâs love and purpose would have been fine, alone or with the white nativity pieces. They didnât look good with the neon stars that had different names of Christ or the nativity pieces that looked like they belonged in a circus (which were horrid anyway).  The Jesse ornaments on it were justâŠnot tastefully done. Perhaps if they had just been white ceramic they would have been fine, but these were white ceramic that had been poorly gold leafedâŠwhich made them tacky to start off with even if the gold leaf had been applied well. To top it all ofâŠthere were close to a dozen Christ on a Cross ornaments that had Iâm Saved written on themâŠacross Jesusâs chest.  The lights on this three were neon coloredâŠpink, green, yellow, blueâŠand flashed at such a high speed Kurt was worried for people visiting.  His house now needed seizure warnings inside as well as out.
Kurt closed his eyes, hoping again that upon opening them his dining room would look normal.
It didnât.
Having taken in the Christmas Trees on the table, he saw everything else.  The table had runners on it under the treeâŠover a hideous Christmas table cloth.  RunnersâŠplural. None matched the ugly elf table clothâŠsome of which looked demonicâŠand none matched each other.  The chairs were dressed up in those stupid slip covers that only look good done wellâŠand at things like weddings.  These werenât done well and didnât match at all. The stupid reindeer chair cover had antlers that Kurt assumed were supposed to stick up but which flopped backwards, the snowman looked half melted and like something out of a horror film and the less said about the two Santas, the better.  Suffice to say, they clashed with each other and if Kurt never saw another Santa again, heâd be happy. The thought of a Santa looking like either was enough to keep Kurt from even wanting Santa gifts at allâŠ.no Santa gift means Santa didnât come to his house.  He couldnât understand why anyone would buy themâŠand since they all had tags that were sticking out, someone had.
The walls were plastered with Christmas PrintsâŠthat again didnât match or make sense together. The tacky Tinsel garlands criss-crossed the ceiling in the dining room as well, shedding down onto the floor and all over the table.
Kurt was terrified to look at the rest of the house.  And depressed. Utterly depressed.  He couldnât believe he dad had told HIM no all these years and then let THIS happen. Unless maybe the reason his dad hadnât answered anything was because theyâd killed himâŠor tied him up somewhere.
He turned and walked further down the hall, pausing to look into the living. Â And concluded his thought that they had actually killed his dad and stuffed the body somewhere wasnât as unlikely as it seemed.
The tree was in the middle of the room.  The TV was blocked. The tree touched the ceiling and was quite wide as well.  It was real, Kurt could tell by the mass amount of pine needles on the floor. And it was heavily flocked.  The white powder stuff sat on many of the branches in piles. It was flocked so badly Kurt could see flocking on the furniture and when the heater kicked on the air movement made flocking dust float into the air. It was also covered in silver tinsel strandsâŠ.the individual ones that got EVERYWHERE. And Kurt meant coveredâŠevery branch was draped with strands at least five inches in, it looked like it was melting.  The air lifted those as well, and made them sway on the tree in a very nauseating manner. The only things on the tree were huge fake poinsettia flowers in every color imaginable and so heavily glittered the glitter they shed could be seen on every surface and the type of feathers that really only worked on Pirate hats, Victorian hats, and as pens at weddings, also dipped in glitter.  The lights were all chasers, set on super speed, and the strands did not matchâŠnot bulb shape or color.
There were about twenty stockings hung on the mantle, all with Finnâs name on themâŠexcept two, labeled MOM and DAD. And they were all tackyâŠand huge.  There were piles of gifts under the tree, most quite large and all, even from afar, clearly labeled FINN. Kurt was strongly reminded of Harry Potter and Dudley Dursley.  There were hundreds of animated stuffed things in the room and so many throw pillows that one couldnât actually sit in a chair anyway. And none matched.  The shelves were overflowing with Christmas items stuffed on themâŠmost ugly or just odd.  His tasteful nativity wasnât up anywhere in the room, nor were his candles or the angels they always had out.  Even his dadâs display of antique toys wasnât to be seen. Those had been put up at Christmas time in his dadâs family since his dad was four and his dadâs great-grandmother had given them to him to display for Christmas.
Kurt clenched his jaw and walked to the door to the basement. Â There was so much static that a bolt of electricity shot four inches to zap him from the handle.
Kurt closed his eyes and hoped that wasnât an omen.  He wondered where his dad wasâŠor Carole or Finn for that matter.
Christmas music different than what was playing on the main floor blasted from down stairs. There were tinsel garlands hanging off the ceiling and handrail. And there were stands of jingle bells hanging down from the hand rail as well, so every step jingled.
âI told you Iâm not going to some stupid party at the Fire Department. I refuse!â Finn shouted.
Kurt could hear the sounds from his video games blasting loudly enough to be heard over the Christmas Music.
Kurt stopped at the bottom of the stairs.
Nothing in the basement was as he left it. Â In fact nothing of his seemed to be there at all.
âWhereâs my stuff?â Kurt asked.
âWhy are you here?â Finn yelled back. âIâm calling your dad! Iâm telling!â
âOk. Â Whereâs my stuff?â
âWe got rid of it. Except from the closet, because it was locked and Burt wouldnât let us break in. I wanted to just throw it all out because you knowâŠyou donât live hereâŠbut Burt made us keep it all so mom rented a storage unit and we put it all there.  Sheâs trying to convince Burt that it doesnât belong here at all anymore and we need access to the closet too.â
âOf course I live here.â
âNo you donât, your dad moved you to the school and so you live there and arenât supposed to return any more.â
âDo neither of you understand how boarding schools work? Â Not to mention, I only was boarding as full time as I was the last few weeks because of my work load the last several weeks was so huge. Â Iâm all caught up now and unless your mom is forking over 10,000 bucks, I wonât be boarding.â
âYou canât live here. Mom promised it was all mine now.  Even if your dad wouldnât let me have the stuff of yours I want, she is supposed to make him give it to me by ChristmasâŠso you canât be here and you have to give me all your good stuffâŠlike your computer and TV and shit.  Mom promised. Iâm calling Mom! Iâm telling BurtâŠ.Iâm telling him right now, how you are sneaking in here and harassing me! I will.â
âSo, Dad and your mother are at the party at the fire department?â Kurt asked, glaring at Finn.
âProbably. Â It sounded dumb. I donât see why I should go and help out stupid little kids. No, go back where you came from.â
Kurt turned and marched back up the stairs. Not without noticing that there was five Christmas trees filled with various forms of sports paraphernalia and hunting stuff scattered around the basement, all live and half nearly bare due to the lack of needles, which littered the floor and all bone dry. The floor was also covered with dirty clothes and towels, food in various forms of rot and empty food boxes, empty soda cans and⊠empty beer and wine bottles⊠and other smelly things.
He marched out past the horrid decorations to his SUV.  He put his suitcases back into the vehicle and drove to the fire station.  He got out and stomped into the partyâŠover to the adult games area, which his father was usually in charge of.  Carole wasnât there.  Fire Chief Michaels was though.
âBurt Hummel.â Kurt snapped.
Burt dropped the bowling ball he was retrieving to hand to the next person playing Bowling For Pop.
âKurtâŠwhen did you get home?â Burt asked.
âToday.  AFTER YOU DID NOT COME GET ME ON THE 17TH WHEN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE FOR PARENTâS DAY! I spent the days from the 17th to leaving time today working off demerit points for you missing it. Furthermore you have NOT answered any email or message left, or answered any calls from me and NOW you will be very sorry. I will not be able to board next semester. Because YOU couldnât be bothered. I hope you have fun explaining that to your wife  and new son, who shall be calling because I harassed him apparently by a) coming home and b) asking where all MY STUFF IS!â
Chief Michaels looked at Burt. âYou forgot to go to Parentâs day at your kidâs school and forgot to check him out?â
âYou got rid of all YOUR childâs stuff? Like what kind of stuff are we talking here?â Deputy Jones from the police department asked.
âAll of it that I hadnât locked in my closet. Â I have no bed, no dresser, my motherâs old vanity is gone, my TV and computer are missing, my sewing machine and everything!â Kurt said.
âI thought they left things be down there. Â Carole said she set Finn straight when he demanded the room cleared for his use.â Burt said.
âYeah, well apparently not. Finn says they put it in a storage unit after you wouldnât let them throw it out!â Kurt snapped. âFix this! Fix this now, Dad.  If it is NOT fixed by tomorrow, I will call YOUR Aunt Mildred. And fix the atrocity that our house has become. I am not kidding.  I am taking photos, I am sending them to Aunt MildredâŠI am sending them to Uncle Lou.â
âBut Kurt, you donât understandâŠâ
âWhat? Â What donât I understand?â
âDonât you want Finn and Carole to be happy and feel welcome?â Burt asked.
âFinn and Carole can be happy and feel welcome without turning the house into a monstrosity and creating the biggest FIRE HAZAARD IN LIMA!  Not to mention the biohazard that is now the basement! Things spark in there due to the static. And Iâm surprised you havenât been fined due to violation of any number of city ordinancesâŠyou know, the ones you always quoted to me when I asked for more lights than the strands along the roof.â
âBut Carole said they always decorate big.â Burt said. âShe said she would be crushed if she couldnât decorate as much as she dreamed and that if she couldnât decorate properly here then sheâd have to go to her folks were it was properly decorated for the holidays. She so wanted to spend the holiday as a family, it would have upset her to have to leave to a properly decorated home.â
âAnd you bought that?â Kurt asked.
âShe cried Kurt. Â She cried when I told her just one tree.â
âYeahâŠIâm sure she did. I think you should check the accounting. I bet most is brand new.  Except those horrid and tacky stockingsâŠwhere is mine by the way?â
âWell. It upset Finn to have it, you know.  And your gifts from me are at the garage because Finn only wants his under the treeâŠI told him yours would be under the tree for Christmas.  Carole insisted sheâd get him agree to it.  He screamed and stomped off when I told him that.â
Fire Chief Michaels put his arm over Kurtâs shoulder. âCome on Kurt. Â I bet Santa has a treat for you, and Iâll set you up with a gift for the white elephant exchange and an ornament for the ornament exchange. There are playing bingo by the pole and weâre supposed to start a new round of name that tune in a few minutes. You always win at that. Â Weâve got some great prizes this year, too.â
He turned to Burt. âBurt, Iâm with your kid on this. Â Fix it.â
âBut Hal, you had a new wife. Surely you know how it is.â Burt said.
âI would have NEVER let Janice remove my kidsâ stuff from our home. Â It is always home to ALL of us. Â And Cami had been off to college when I married Janice. Still wouldnât let her get rid of Camiâs stuff until sheâd moved into a place of her own and wasnât living in dorms anymore. Â And then we asked. Â Heâs your kid, Burt. Â Heâs not all grown-up yet, he should still matter most.â
He turned Kurt away and started walking with him towards Santa.
âSo tell me about the biohazard.â The chief said.
âOh My God. Finn is so nasty. There is rotting food in my basement! On the floor! And stinky socks and underwear and loads of trash.  I had it spotless over Thanksgiving. I thoroughly cleaned it after I got home from black Friday shopping and all Finnâs cousins were finally goneâŠ.â
Kurt watched his dad as he continued telling the Chief about the disaster that the house was in.
His dad was looking confused.
As Kurt was seeing Santa, the Chief headed back towards his dad and Deputy Jones.
Santa, otherwise known as Mr. Morrison, the owner of M&S grocers and farmers market, slipped Kurt an extra gift and told him to come back over when the night was over and he might slip Kurt more. He asked if Kurt was going to the old folksâ home, his dear mother would hate to miss him this year if he wasnât.  Kurt promised to be over the next dayâŠminus cookies because he was certain his kitchen was not useable due to the amount of tinsel in the house. Kurt beamed when Mr. Morrison offered use of the storeâs bakery and the company of Mrs. Morrison to help bake cookies for the old folksâ home.
Mrs. Michaels set Kurt up with items for the exchanges that would be happening soon and allowed Kurt to snatch up the set of wooden birds, one of which looked just like Pavarotti, in exchange for last minute mending to the nativity costumes. When he managed not just the hole in Josephâs side seam and the tear in the shepherdâs robe where he stepped in it as his stood up, but also sufficient enough hemming on all the angels costumes so that no one tripped on them and ripped them, she also added the set of angel ornaments he looked at.
He won a Christmas candle, an old Readerâs Digest Christmas Treasury sheet music book that was still in near mint condition even though it was dated 1950, and a word puzzle book while playing name that tune, before he bowed out and let others have a chance to win. He won four bingos and picked out some fabulous snowflake cookies cutters, a stocking filled with crafting supplies (nice color pencils and drawing pencils, watercolor pencils, blenders and erasers, paint brushes, and a cute set of watercolors), a set of little tea lights that were battery powered, and an awesome winter themed throw that was very soft.
He won a set of cards that were Scooby-doo themed in the white elephant exchange and an owl ornament in the ornament exchange.
He also called around to find someplace to stay over that night.  Jeffâs family lived near Liberty Hill Golf Club in Bellefontaine.  It wasnât quit an hour away and Jeffâs dad promised the snow had eased up and traffic would be fine.  Their road was already plowed and clear.  His mom would love to have Kurt for a day or two.  Kurt told her it would be for the night at least, and maybe tomorrow night as well, but during the day he had a few commitments in Lima he needed to attend to, namely baking for the old folksâ home and a trip to the old folksâ home. After hearing Jeffâs mom go on about how sweet he was, Kurt thought he might even have company the next dayâŠand wondered just how many siblings Jeff had.
Kurt told them heâd be there in about an hour and half. Â Then he went to find his dad again.
Burt was sitting at the table with the fire chief and Deputy Jones and Hank from the shop.
âDad, Iâm going to go stay at Jeffâs for the night.  If things arenât somewhat fixed by tomorrow afternoon when I am finished at the old folksâ home, I will stay there tomorrow night as well.  Things will be fixed by then, as I will be at my home for Christmas. The basement will be cleaned and those trees removed, all the tinsel will be gone, the trees on the dining room table will be gone, and the tree in the living room will be removed of its tinsel, de-flocked as much as possible, and gone if it is too dry. Carole and Finn will be informed that they will be paying to fix the damage to the house since I know you were not stupid enough to do that. The music will not be there anymoreâŠif any is there it will be ONE single song playing at a time.  The music in the house will be quieter and tasteful, like you always made me play it when you relented and let me play anything, and something will be done with the Santa butts that are hanging out everywhere! I will also give you until tomorrow afternoon before I call Aunt Mildred.  Iâm going to stop by the house and grab a few things before heading out. So, yes, I was back at the house if Finn callsâŠno I will not be harassing him.â
âYou saw the tree in the bathroom?â Burt asked.
âWhat tree in what bathroom?â Kurt said.
âUmm nevermind.â
âDadâŠ.what tree?â
âThe main floor bathroom has a tall thin tree in it that is covered with hot tub Santas and bathtub Santas and outhouse ornaments. Â They collect them. Â They have them from many states and all sorts open to show them being used by everything from Santa to moose to one that even had Jesus in it.â
âExcuse me?â Kurt said. âAnd they had the nerve to comment on my lack of religion.â
âFinnâs vacation bible sleep-away camp sold them.â
Kurt just shook his head.
âSee you tomorrow Dad. I do love you, you knowâŠbut this is not OK.â
Kurt stopped by Santa to solidify his plans for the next day, and came away with two books heâd wanted to read and two more puzzles books and three heatable rice packs, two small scent candles, four Christmas scented lotions, and two textures washclothsâŠand a basket.  Jeffâs mother would get a nice little spa basket as a thank you gift for letting him invade.
Kurt hit the house on his way out of town. Â He left his goodies in the car. He used his phone camera to take pictures of everything that horrified him. Â He even went in the bathroom and found the Jesus in the outhouse ornament and took special care to take a photo of that. Â He realized his dad hadnât mentioned that there was also various naked Santa ornaments, with different type of hats placed so his privates wouldnât be seen.
Several hundred photos later, Kurt decided enough was documented. Â He had gone downstairs and photographed the carnage that was his basement. Â Finn hadnât even noticed as he had huge headphone on and the TV blasted enough louder than before. He was singing to something other than the Christmas song that was blaring away, so Kurt knew music was playing through his headphones as well. Â It was a wonder the idiot wasnât deaf.
Kurt grabbed the old recipe books with the cookie recipes he always took to the old folksâ home in them and the emergency sleep kit from the garage, just in case he needed a sleeping bag or something. Â He stopped and bought himself fast food on the way out of town.
The snow was just slightly falling and the roads, though icy, were free of snow. Â The plows had been out. Â The drive was peaceful and nice. Â Kurt found a public radio station that was reading The Christmas Carol over the radio. Â He made great time and was to Jeffâs house within an hour.
Jeffâs house was huge. There were lit deer in the front, looking like they were eating at the base of one tall spiral light tree and a few smaller onesâŠall the same bright white lights.  The houseâs trim was lined with white lights, except the door, which was lined in green light.  Several trees in the yard were light as well, properly lit and covered by the same lights. There was a single evergreen wreath on the front door. It had a large red bow on it.
Kurt took a moment to put together a small overnight pack, gathering the items heâd need from his luggage and putting them into his school bag. When he looked up again, Jeff was on his way down the front path to the drive to help him with anything. Â Jeff assured Kurt he didnât need his emergency sleep kit, but his dad would love to hear about it when they got in. Â Kurt handed Jeff his bag when Jeff insisted on carrying something and carried in the gift basket for Jeffâs mom.
Jeffâs mom was as vivacious as Jeff and Jeffâs dad was delightful as well. Â His mom handed a hot cup of cocoa to Kurt nearly as soon as he stepped into the foyer. Â
Their Christmas treeâŠsingle⊠was huge as well, but it was against the wall and set off nearly in a corner of the room.  It was covered with white lights that were steady and had a ribbon that wound from the top to the bottomâŠred and white candy cane striped.  There were red and white ballsâŠnot glass yet because Jeff had little siblings who touched too much stillâŠbut mostly scattered tastefully about the tree were more random type ornaments that represented Jeffâs family.  Jeff found his babyâs 1st Christmas ornament and then showed Kurt all seven othersâŠwith the triplets having the same ornament in different colors.
Kurt met the triplets, who were almost four, Joanne, who was 11 months older than Jeff and James who was 11 months younger.  He found out that the other two, Kim and Karen, were significantly older than JoanneâŠand that Jeffâs dad was their step-dad. Both were married with kids of their own and would be descending upon the family on the 24th.
There was soft Christmas music playing in the background as the family talked and watched a movie. Â A scented candle burned in the kitchen, filling the air with a light evergreen scent.
Kurt looked around. There was a fireplace with stockings hung along the mantle, but these stockings were all denim with different colored plaid cuffs and heels and toes.  Jeff told Kurt his grandmother made them for each kidâŠKarenâs kids were a darker denim and Kimâs kids were a very light denim, but they still matched. Each stocking had a pocket, like the back pocket of a pair of pants on the front and a letter sticking out of it.
They looked good against the mantle, and the evergreen garland that trimmed it. Â The evergreen garland had little plaid bows decorating it and pinecones and woodland critters.
A garland trimmed the top of the bookshelves as well.
There were Christmas throw pillows, that matched and were cuteâŠand that matched the Christmas fleece blankets that draped over the back of the couch and chairs when not in use by people.
There were candles on the window sill, fake. Â However having watched one of the small ones tip them over no less then five times, well Kurt thought fake was probably the safest bet for maybe the next ten years.
Jeffâs house was blessedly free of tinsel.
After the movie Jeffâs parents sent everyone off to bed and Jeff showed Kurt the guestroom he could use.
It was decorated by Christmasâs bedding and a bow over the mirror on the dresser. Â There was a small Christmas Bear sitting on the dresser as well. It didnât do anything.
âThe other guestroom is more pink and had dolls on the dresser. Â I thought this might be better. There is one of those play and pack baby bed things under the bed, though, so be careful not to stub your toe. Â There is a bathroom through the door with the lever type handle. Â The door with the knob goes to the closet.â
âThanks Jeff, you and your family are life savers. Youâve salvaged my whole day.â
âItâs been fun and Iâm glad I could help. Â I canât believe your family forgot you were coming home today.â
Kurt shrugged. âI guess maybe things have been busy at the garageâŠI donât know.  I didnât ask.â
They chatted a bit longer, mostly about the garage and things Kurt did there and what types of cars they worked on. Â Jeff loved cars and motors of all sorts, so was thrilled to have someone with any interest in them as well to talk to. Â Before too long, though, Jeffâs mom came and hustled him off to his own room so Kurt could get some sleep.
Jeffâs mom ruffled his hair as she left, like she did Jeffâs. Â It was nice.
As Kurt crawled into bed, he couldnât decide if he hoped his dad had fixed things by the next afternoon or if he hoped to be able to spend one more evening at Jeffâs, where he was more welcome than he was in his own house.
When he turned off the light he discovered one more holiday item in the roomâŠa candle nightlight lit the room with a soft glow. He texted his Dadâs Aunt Mildred and asked if she knew a way to keep at Dalton past the quarter.

When Covid-19 came for their community, these Choctaw tribal members mobilized to feed and protect families âI knew it was gonna be bad because we Natives, you look at the history, our immune systems are not built for a lot of stuff,â said Mask, who lives on the Pearl River Reservation near Philadelphia, Mississippi. Maskâs friend and fellow tribal member Marsha Berry also lives on the reservation, where many families live in multi-generational homes. She told CNN that early in the pandemic, as residents had to wait about a week for their test results, many unknowingly spread Covid-19 to parents and grandparents before learning they were positive. âWe didnât have any guidance, any type of Instruction on what to do. So, we kind of were left out to fend for ourselves,â Berry said. Those who tested positive were often unprepared to quarantine for 14 days, without enough food, supplies or a support system at home. Maskâs fiancĂ©, Sandy Steve, shared the story of a mother of three in their community who was suffering from Covid-19. Her 7-year-old daughter had to continually wake her up to make sure she was still alive. âFirst thing I thought about,â Mask said, âwas (this is) going to affect that child for the rest of her life.â The story angered Mask, but also inspired him to take action. He went on Facebook and âsaid some things that I shouldnât have said,â but thatâs when he also linked up with Berry, Steve, and another acquaintance Rian Willis to help. They decided to collect donated food and hygiene products for what was supposed to be a one-day drive last June, offering families exposed to the coronavirus much-needed supplies. They secured a former Dollar General location to collect the items, and Berry announced the donation drive on a Facebook Live video. The communityâs response was overwhelming. The group received far more donations than they were able to give away in one afternoon. Unable to fit the excess items in their homes, they turned the former Dollar General store into a temporary headquarters for their effort, which they named âHonoring the Choctaw Spirit.â Donations rolled in over the summer as the virus spread to more families. While the local Choctaw Health Center was the first stop for most tribal members, helicopters flew the sicker Covid-19 patients to a hospital in Jackson, Mississippi â about 80 miles away. Mask said he would hear choppers flying over his house every night. Berry recalled the emotional toll of the constant airlifts. âI remember sitting here so many times and just ⊠putting my hands over my ears so that I wouldnât hear the helicopters, because the helicopters came three or four times a day to pick up another tribal member,â she said. âThe majority of [them] never made it back home.â Mask has lost family members to the pandemic, including a cousin who was just three months younger than him; they shared a crib and grew up together. âHe was healthy ⊠and a week later, heâs in the hospital with it. It just blows you away ⊠you talk to somebody one day and the next day theyâre gone.â The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians claim about 11,000 members. As of March 18, they had lost 113 members. The tribeâs cultural losses are staggering. Mask says they lost the wife of a former chief, storytellers, traditional dancers, and stickball players, which he describes as a game similar to lacrosse. âWe were in a constant state of grief,â Berry said. âHaving to deal with death on a daily basis, we almost became desensitized. Our funeral rites were taken from us because we couldnât gather. We couldnât mourn.â The group kept the donation drives going every Saturday through the summer. Eventually, as the numbers of new cases began to decrease, Mask and other tribal members returned to their jobs. Honoring the Choctaw Spirit then moved its effort online, creating a Facebook Group to connect with exposed families and allow them to request specific donations. After his overnight shift as a pit manager at the Pearl River Resort, Mask would return home for a few hours of sleep before driving deliveries to those in need. Nowadays, donation requests spread mostly through word of mouth or Facebook posts, Mask said. He is also running a drive to fill Easter Baskets for tribal children who lost loved ones in the pandemic. Mask acknowledges some tribal members are hesitant about getting the Covid-19 vaccine. He admits that he was scared, but given his work environment, he was glad to get it. Seeing casino patrons refusing to wear a mask frustrates him, he says, and he has a message for them: âWhile you may wanna die, I have a responsibility to these people out here.â Despite all the losses, Mask and Berry say they see a silver lining in this tragedy: their drives unified tribal members to help each other while reacquainting old friends and building relationships. Mask, who still makes deliveries to those affected by Covid-19, also gained a sense of personal satisfaction from this work. âI didnât grow up the perfect person in the world or anything, but I went to sleep every night with a smile on my face knowing Iâm going to heaven. That sounds stupid, but itâs my mindset now.â Source link Orbem News #Choctaw #community #Covid19 #families #Feed #Members #mobilized #protect #Tribal

part one.part two.part three
Warning: matured content as in college related stuff. swear words. NOT MOBILE FRIENDLY! not sure why, but it has all the breaks and stuff while on a desktop. (teach me if mobile is different and it can be done!)
Here is my second one! Not requested, but will get to the one that I did receive! Also this is going to be split into parts because I had a commentator complain about the length that they had to scroll, but like I canât do anything about that if youâre on mobile besides give a warning. Anyways, so yeah, this is part 1 of and happy reading! kthxbai, Admin Lia~
"Alright, fellas. Tomorrow's the start of our annual one day scavenger hunt." Yu Bin, the president of Iota Phi Theta, announced to his fellow members. "I know there hasn't been any incidents as of yet, but don't break any laws or school's rules while obtaining the picture or video proofs in completing the list." Yu Bin reminded them. "I-P-T ain't like that and we're not going to start now."
"So when it hits midnight you guys can start on the list." Li Junyi, the vice-president of IPT, spoke next. "You have until eleven-fifty-nine P-M to return back to the house. You'll be disqualified if you're not back before then and your points won't be added to Iota Phi Theta's End of the School Year raffle. Or for the chance to be I-P-T's center for the End of the Year photo and host of the last banquet. Or the monthly prizes."
"Let's all remember it's all for fun so there's no real competition except if you wanna win the raffle and center and host positions, of course." Zhou Rui, the secretary of IPT, informed them with a smile. "An entry with your name is added to the raffle for every thirty-five points you earn. So make it count if you're aiming for that." His gaze then scanned the many faces before him. "If not, then you can still turn your points in for awesome monthly prizes."
"Don't forget your placards needs to be present in the picture or video as it will indicate validation." Kaihao, the treasurer of IPT, concluded. "We ask all of you fellow brothers to represent Iota Phi Theta with respect and anyone or something else involved with respect, too." Kaihao looked at the other three for approval as the trio either nodded before gazing back at the members. "Meeting adjourned. Have a good night, fellas"
Serena abruptly woke to Melanie's ring tone going off. She sat up in bed to glare at the sleeping figure who wasn't disturbed by the sudden sound at all as it continued to ring and vibrate simultaneously. Serena let out a huff as she felt about her bed for something to throw at Melanie. Once she felt one of her stuffed dolls she chucked it at Melanie across the room, but it missed its target.
Serena reached once more around her bed, found another doll a second later, and threw it. It made contact with its target, but it surely didn't wake the sleeping girl. Serena groaned while rubbing her face in annoyance, but lied back down when the ringing stop.
Closing her eyes once more, Serena groaned when Melanie's phone went off again. "I swear this bitch has selective hearing even while asleep."
Serena let out a sigh as she rose from bed and made her way over to Melanie. Shaking the edge of the bed with her foot, Melanie didn't budge from the action. Serena moved her foot and tapped on Melanie's feet, but still nothing. Serena rolled her eyes and placed both hands to shake Melanie's figure roughly which jerked the other girl awake.
"Hmm?" Melanie hummed in a half-awake and half-asleep state.
"Answer your phone. It went off twice and I'm sure who's ever trying to contact you is gonna call again." Serena said in a tired tone just as Melanie's phone went off again. "Answer it or I'm chucking that shit out the window."
This woke Melanie as she brushed off Serena's threat. "Yeah, yeah, go back to bed, Rina."
Serena huffed to indicate that she was still annoyed, but returned to her bed while Melanie checked to see who it was and silenced the sound to not annoy her friend some more. Melanie noticed the two missed calls as well as several text messages from three people. Not wanting to deal with it at the moment Melanie silenced her phone until it was placed for only alarms to go off which would be at around 9ish AM and went back to bed.
Serena did the same thing when she felt the first vibration upon settling back in bed. It was only twenty-one minutes passed eleven, but she needed all the sleep she could get before attending her 8AM class tomorrow. The other person can totally wait until then. Or not. Depending on her mood.
"You have got to be kidding me." Serena said in disbelief upon arriving early to her 8AM class which was apparently cancelled for the rest of the week. "You think by now I would check the stupid thing." She scolded herself before sighing afterwards while running a hand through her hair.
Serena heard a chuckle from behind her and turned around to see her classmate and friend, Cai Xukun, standing there with two bubble tea drinks and an amused expression upon his face. "I knew you'll be here since you hardly check your phone or the school's app."
"Oh you're so smart, KunKun." Serena mockingly stated as cast him a tired look. "What are you doing here anyways if you knew class was cancelled?"
"Well, I knew you would show up and thought I would make your morning better after realizing there's no class this early morning." He grinned as Serena rolled her eyes. "Oh wow, the great and mighty Cai Xukun gracing me with his royal presence."
Xukun's excited expression dampened a bit. "Gee, thanks. I was going to give you this taro milk tea to make you feel better, but instead I'll enjoy it myself." He smirked as he took a sipped out of the purple drink. "Ah, so delicious."
"Go ahead." She shrugged as she walked right passed him. "I'll buy myself something else and kill time before my next class."
Xukun followed after her with a pout. "You know it was for you."
"I do, but you put your nasty germs on it and so I don't want it."
"But you share things with everyone else though?"
"I know, but you're a different story."
"Then you can have the other one." He offered her the yellow drink.
"No thanks. I don't really like passion fruit."
"It's not like I have cooties, YingYing."
"Um, KunKun, have you forgotten that you're a bit of a germophobe? That's why I said you were a different story." Serena eyed him as Xukun shrugged nonchalantly. "A little bit, but it's not that big of a deal. Really."
"Yeah right, next time say that in front of your fangirls because I don't wanna get killed by them which I realized right now and am definitely surprised that there are none lurking around sending me death glares."
"Stop. I don't have fangirls. They're just..." Xukun trailed off as Serena cast him a knowing look and repeated her previous statement. "Fangirls."
"Whatever you wanna call them, they won't kill you. You're my friend and I haven't seen them give you any dirty looks."
"Because, one, they're two-faced because when you turn around their so-called angelic face appears. Two, I'm a female friend that's closer to you than they'll ever be to which to this day I still don't know how we're friends, honestly. We don't really have that much in common."
"Friends don't always have to have similar interests, Ying. It's mutual respect and a connection. Anyways, is that supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?" Xukun interjected upon hearing the friend part
"You can take it however you want." Serena chuckled before continuing. "Anyways, I guess that's true about not having similar interests. Maybe that's why you're a brat and always copy my homework and sit next to me in class when you can literally sit anywhere else."
"Because you have better handwriting and you don't stare at me constantly."
"I wonder why." She rolled her eyes before shooting him a look. "Psh. And here you say they're not your fangirls." Serena then took the purple drink from him and took a sip. "Thanks though, but you still owe me something to eat from last time."
"Yeah, yeah. I know. You won't stop reminding me. Anyways, forget about them. They're not important." He dismissed the topic about the fangirls. "I'll meet you in the library at our usual spot then." Xukun informed her as the two split in different directions.
Melanie was peacefully sleeping before it was disrupted by her phone going off. At first she didn't hear it, but eventually after the third time it went off, she woke and stared at her phone in confusion.
"Didn't I put it only for the alarm?"
She chucked it and realized she didn't and only assumed that she did. She let out a sigh when her phone went of again.
"Hello?" She answered sleepily not even checking to see who the caller was.
"Hey, do you have a bra that you no longer use and are willing to give it up. No questions ask?" The person on the other side asked causing Melanie to open her eyes with furrowed eyebrows. "Excuse me?"
"I want your bra, JunJun. Give it to me." He demanded seriously and Melanie finally looked at her mobile screen to see who the caller was and rolled her eyes before sitting up in bed. "Shut up, Fen. The last time I gave you my bra you gave me back another girl's bra."
"I said I was sorry."
"It wasn't even the same size or color."
"I said I would buy you a replacement."
"Which I'm still waiting for, my dude."
"I'm working on it, but I really need it." There was a pause before another voice spoke. "Can you make it two, Jun?"
"Ugh, BoBo. I thought you were better than this."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Both males asked a second later as Melanie groaned. "I'm going back to bed. Talk to me after I wake up."
"Fine. We'll see you in class." The duo responded and Melanie hung up on them with a sighed. "So annoying."
Serena was casually making her way towards the library and before she could walk up the steps towards the building she suddenly and loudly heard her nickname, Yue Tu which meant Moon Rabbit, being shouted from behind her. Just as she had turned around to see who it was she was suddenly tackled to the ground with the person on top of her while her drink fumbled away from her.
"Smile!" The male announced happily as he held up his phone with one hand while the other hand held a placard to take a self-portrait of himself and Serena whereas Serena partially blocked her face in time while trying to shove off another friend and classmate of hers off of her. "Get off, Qin Zimo!"
Zimo chuckled nervously as he obeyed while backing away from Serena with a good amount of space between them as another friend and classmate, Jing Peiyao, joined them a moment later while catching his breath.
"Sorry, Yue. I would have stopped him, but once he saw you he ran so fast that I couldn't keep up." Peiyao said once he caught his breath before a cheeky smile appeared on his face. "Also, I wanted to see what would happen and the outcome was hilarious."
"You're a brat, Yao." Serena scoffed while fixing herself, but shot the two a friendly look. "What are you two doing out and about?"
"Trying to complete the scavenger list." Zimo answered as he held up his placard. "I really want that anime figurine set although I have no idea which anime figurines they are."
"Of course." Serena rolled her eyes before it landed on the boba that Xukun had given her. "You owe me a drink, MoMo."
"I will if only..."
"If only what?"
"Basically Zimo wants you to help him out with gaining points." Peiyao answered with a blank look. "That's why he ran so fast to catch you."
"The last time I helped I still didn't get my reward."
Zimo nervously rubbed the back of his neck before casting the female a pleading look. "I will double the reward, for sure this time, just please help me out, Yue Tu, especially since your a Nu Chi Phi member and it'll double or even triple the points."
"Ugh, fine, but I'm only doing two with you since you tackled me." She then glared at him. "You already took one, so you're left with one now."
"Oh, thank you, thank you!" Zimo thanked her while wrapping his arms around her in a hug. "You're the best."
"Yeah, yeah, just tell me one of them that you need to do."
"I don't get why you put up with it, Yue, when you know that you don't want to do it." Peiyao stated as Serena shrugged. "I dunno. I guess you gotta give good karma to receive good karma."
"Wow. So it's basically for your own selfish gain?"
"Sure, why not? Don't judge me, Yao." She narrowed her eyes at Peiyao. "How come you're not doing any?"
"Because I have enough points to get what I want already." He answered with a smirk. "Besides, I would rather enter the raffle then collect now."
"I see."
"Anyways, I already did the 'Tackle the opposite gender'. Let's see what else I can do." Zimo muttered loudly as he checked his list and marked off the ones that he had already done. "Oh, how about this one, Yue Tu?"
Zimo showed Serena the option as Serena nodded. "Sure, MoMo."
Zimo happily got his phone ready to take the picture as Serena endured the Iota Phi Theta's scavenger list for the sake of friendship while partially covering her face since she didn't want to get exposed either. She ended up doing a few more. The things she does in wanting to help out Zimo since the subjects weren't breaking laws or humiliating towards the members or others. Something she gave Iota Phi Theta credit for while being a fraternity.
Peiyao laughed at the scenes before him as he knew this wasn't Serena's thing, but she still went with it just for the sake of being a kind friend. Of course Serena glared at Peiyao when the camera wasn't in her face because she knew his taunting laughter was just to tease her. After that the trio bid good-byes with Serena picking up her wasted boba drink to toss before making her way inside the library.
Melanie was woken again by her phone, but by a different person. She ignored it the first and second time, but grew annoyed when her mobile went off again and she gruffly answered the caller.
"What?"
"Sheesh. Who peed in your cereal this morning?" The male responded.
"That's nasty, Jing." Melanie replied as she sat up in bed knowing she wasn't going to be able to fall back asleep and should've silenced her phone after Qin Fen had called her. "What do you want, You. Zhang. Jing?"
"Wow. Seriously, Li. Xiang. Jun." He mimicked the way she said his name before speaking normally again. "Why are you so grouchy, huh?"
"Because I can't go back to sleep now. People been bothering me with phone calls all morning. Like you."
"Rude. I was gonna invite your fellow fat ass out for breakfast, but since you're being such a morning bitch, Xiang, I'll leave you alone."
"Breakfast where?"
"Oh, now she wants to play nice."
Melanie rolled her eyes hearing the sarcasm in her friend's voice. "Shut up, Jing. You still owe me from last. Four times."
Zhangjing groaned. "You're still keeping tabs on that? That was like weeks ago."
"Yeah, because your bitch ass supposedly forgot your wallet those four times."
"I did forget it. What?" Zhangjing hurriedly changed the topic to avoid facing Melanie's annoyance tone once again. "Anyways, XiangXing, I got you, girl. I won't forget my wallet and I'll even treat you. Whatever you want."
Melanie grew suspicious. "What's the catch?"
"What are you talking about? There's no catch."
"Yeah there is. You never offered to treat me. And you also never say 'whatever you want' so there's more to this than you're telling me."
"That part was an afterthought, Xiang. Don't get so analytical." Zhangjing scoffed. "So yes or no to breakfast?"
"Yes. Text me and I'll meet you."
"Already did."
"Brat."
Zhangjing laughed as he hung up and Melanie went to get ready for the day.
Xukun entered the quiet area where he and Serena met often in the library and hung out while spotting his friend sleeping with her arms folded on the table and her head using them as a pillow. He chuckled at the sight while placing a bagel sandwich with ham and cheese along with a Starbucks coffee by her things.
Once Xukun settled in the chair next to her while taking a sip of his own Starbucks drink did Serena stir awake and looked over at him sleepily while scrunching her nose at the aroma of the drinks. "Gah, I hate the smell of coffee."
Xukun's eyebrows furrowed. "I thought you like coffee?"
"I actually don't like coffee at all." Serena answered as she pushed her coffee away and towards Xukun while picking up the bagel to eat. "Thanks."
Xukun stared at Serena questioningly in mid-bite of his own bagel sandwich. "Wait a minute, YingYing. Are you telling me that you hate coffee despite me buying it for you every time we have study sessions together since we've met?"
"Uh, yeah, basically." Serena answered with a sheepish laugh. "Sorry, not sorry?"
"Dude, why didn't you just tell me? You honestly finished it every time or leave a little bit and I didn't think anything of it."
"Because you genuinely looked pleased every time you gave it to me and I just didn't have the heart to tell you or throw away a majority of it since you used your own money to buy it."
"I can't believe you didn't tell me."
"You'll get over it. Anyways, KunKun, now you have double the coffee for your day today."
Xukun side-eyed her while taking the other drink back and taking a quick sip from it. "What else are you hiding from me?"
"A lot of things, KunKun. A lot." Serena answered nonchalantly as she bit into her sandwich while not expanding further leaving Xukun to just leave it at that for now.
When he brought out his materials to study, a loose piece of paper floated to the ground and Serena went to retrieve it instead before Xukun could. Upon closer inspection she realized that it was the same IPT scavenger list that Zimo had.
"I forgot you were in Iota Phi Theta. " Serena said while placing the paper on top of his bag. "So you're doing this, too?"
"Something like that." Xukun answered as he picked it up to scan it. "I haven't really started, but I don't think I'm going to do it either."
"Why not?"
"I don't have time. I really need to pass my classes this semester. I barely managed last semester."
"It's easier to do with a friend. The scavenger hunt list, I mean. I'm sure you have some."
Xukun rolled his eyes. "I do, Ying. I'm not completely as anti-social as you, but my schedule doesn't correlate well with theirs."
Serena glanced at him dismissing the comment about her being anti-social. "Do you want to complete the list?"
"Well yeah, I do, but I don't have the time to do so."
"What do you get out of this list if you complete the whole thing?"
"Well the points I accumulate will give me entries to the End of the School Year raffle."
"But there's something else that you want, right?"
Xukun smiled embarrassed as the thought of what he wanted popped into his head. "Yeah."
"And that is?" Serena tried to get it out of him. "Tell me and I'll help you."
"You will?" He asked shocked before eyeing her suspiciously. "Wait, why? You would rather be in bed right now than doing anything really productive."
"I have my moments, Kun, and I feel like doing something productive today besides school stuff at the moment."
"Y'know there's like fifty things on that list."
"True, but it's mainly to help out a friend. Also I know that you want this. So what is it?"
"If I complete that list or score the most points out of anyone for that list, then I get to be center for the group photo when school's over."
"That's it?"
"Yeah. Oh and I get to host the final house banquet this school term and the first house banquet next school term."
"Okay, that's good."
Xukun looked at Serena unsure. "Are you sure you want to help me?"
"I mean, not really, but I don't mind helping out others from time to time." Serena shrugged with a small smile.
"Alright, thanks, but I do need a date though for the banquet."
"And I'm sure that won't be a problem."
"Could I ask you in advance since you won't be all..."
"Fangirl mode."
"Yeah."
"See, even you're thinking they're fangirls now."
Xukun rolled his eyes, but looked at her with hopeful eyes. "So what do you say? Will you be my date?"
"I'll think about it."
Xukun scoffed at her response as Serena chuckled. "Anyways, let's go make you center, Cai Xukun, and a banquet host."
Melanie was currently messaging Zhangjing asking him how long he'll be since she's been waiting at Little Tangerine for at least ten minutes now when she heard the chair across from her scraped against the floor and assumed it was her friend.
"About ti-" She paused when she saw Lin Yanjun instead of Zhangjing and mentally strangled Zhangjing in her head. "I knew it was a set up."
Yanjun chuckled as he glanced at her. "What's a set up? I thought we were all meeting for breakfast?"
"Zhangjing didn't mentioned a third party."
Yanjun shrugged with a smile. "He mentioned you to me."
"I bet." Melanie rolled her eyes before roaming her eyes over to the male before her. "Anyways, then where is the one that invited us?"
"Dunno."
"You guys are roommates."
"Doesn't mean I keep tabs on him."
"Mmhmm."
Melanie leaned back in her seat and crossed her arms over her chest shooting Yanjun a knowing look. Yanjun imitated her posture, but he had on an amused expression instead. The two stared at one another for a good few seconds before Yanjun broke the silence.
"Don't give me that look, Melanie."
"What look, Evan?"
"The one you're giving me now."
"What about it?"
"Stop looking like you wanna kill me."
"Oh, it's not you I wanna kill, today. It's your friend."
Yanjun rolled his eyes as he casually leaned forward. "He's your friend, too, but don't kill him yet. I still need him to pass this semester and you can kill me after I graduate."
"Fine." Melanie rolled her eyes, but relaxed her posture. "Anyways, what are you doing here when you and I don't ever hang out?"
"Zhangjing invited me of course, Xiangjing, but really I came for the bread." Yanjun grinned as Melanie shook her head with a laugh. "You can buy bread anywhere, Yanjun, and say no to the invite."
"But I love the ones here and why would I say no when I get to see your lovely face."
He grinned at her as Melanie made a disgusted face before brushing off his rights. "Right."
Silence fell between them again with neither of them wanting to get up and make an order. The duo continued to wait for Zhangjing who was still running late. Yanjun broke the silence once more.
"Hey, so I was wondering if-"
Melanie interrupted him. "No."
"But you haven't even heard the whole thing yet."
"I don't care."
"But you don't even know what I was gonna ask you."
"After what happened last time, Evan, I don't wanna be involved with whatever you got going on for the fourth time." Melanie narrowed her eyes at him. "I'm going to put a restraining order on you the next time you you want a crazy psycho bitch of a fangirl to stop bothering you."
"Look, they all have their moments." Yanjun tried to explain, but Melanie held up a hand to stop him. "Save it. I don't care because I'm not gonna let you use me again for a fourth time to which I didn't even agree with the other three times. You basically forced me and put me on the spot each time."
"Okay, Melanie, okay. I get it. I'm sorry." Yanjun apologized with a genuine expression. "I know it was selfish of me to use you as my pretend girlfriend to get these girls off my back, but you happened to be conveniently there at my time of need all those times."
"So were practically twenty other girls, Lin. Yan. Jun."
"I trusted you the most."
"We're only mutual through mutual. We're technically not even friends if I was to be honest. Hell, even Yirang, Fu Jing, Manjun, and Niyi were there and you know them better than you know me and you could've used them over me."
"You were closer." Yanjun reasoned as Melanie rolled her eyes giving up on trying to pull the truth out of him while standing up and collecting her things. "Whatever. I'm gonna order and sit at another table so that I don't have to deal with you further within the morning."
"Oh, c'mon, Xiangjun. My company's not that bad."
"Not really you, per se, Yanjun, I think, but those involved around you just gives me a headache with all the bullshit that surrounds you."
"Wow."
"Okay, bye!" Melanie happily told him while making her way towards the front counter as Yanjun looked after her with a defeated expression before his phone pinged indicating he received a message.
He checked it and saw that it was from Zhangjing. 'Lin Yanjun, zero. Li Xiangjun, nine thousand'. Yanjun glanced around the shop and spied his friend across the room in disguise while eating a bag of chips and waving at him mockingly.
'Better sleep with one eye open tonight, buddy'. Yanjun messaged Zhangjing back before shooting him a smirk and Zhangjing stopped his little antics and hurriedly left Little Tangerine without Melanie noticing him.

Danganronpa: Another IF (Chapter 2, Part 1)
           By the time everyone had left the courtroom, it was almost nighttime. They all moved to the cafeteria, after Monokuma told them heâd cleaned up the body and crime scene so that they could use the laundry room again. Not really eager to believe the monochrome bear, the students had Kirigiri check on the former crime scene for them; and as it turned out, the bear was telling the truth. Naegi wouldâve done it himself, but he had his hands full comforting Sayaka.
           âThe room was pristine. The body has been removed.â Kirigiri reported. Out of everyone, she seemed the most calm and collected, even after everything theyâd been forced to witness. Mondo was the first of them to speak as he clenched his hands.
           âFuck⊠We donât even get time to grieve?â The biker tskâed.
           âAhh⊠What of my bedsheets?â Yamada asked as he was slumping forward in his chair. It had been âdecidedâ that Togami would not go without his, and while Sakura did offer hers to Yamada, the otaku just let her keep them.
           âThey were cleaned once more and folded neatly on the table.â Kirigiri told him calmly, running a hand through her lilac hair. âTo be honest, it was as if a murder hadnât occurred in that room, when I inspected it.â
           Junko scowled from her place as she hugged her elbows.
           âSo much for ârememberingâ Fukawaâs sacrificeâŠâ
           Naegi shook his head as he rubbed Maizonoâs back soothingly.
           âNo⊠Even if we donât have a physical reminder, we canât just forget about her! Or Hagakure. We should walk toward the future, carrying them in our heartsâŠâ
           As she nuzzled into him, Maizono nodded sadly in agreement. As a number of them appeared to take time to grieve in their own ways, Asahina spoke up in a chipper tone.
           âCâmon, guys! Cheer up! We gotta turn those frowns upside down! âSides, if we all work together, Iâm sure weâll get out of here. Sooo⊠Letâs all join hands and push forward with a great big smile!â The swimmer mustered the biggest smile she could. HoweverâŠ
            âCut the crap⊠Youâre not making anyone feel any better.â Togami spat out.
           âHuh?â Asahina, among others, looked toward the heir with confusion.
           âA murder still took place, regardless of your preaching⊠It wonât be long before we see fallout. Murder isnât just a fantasy or a nightmare anymore, and everyone here is uncomfortably aware of it.â The air around the blond was smug and arrogant. And though he didnât seem to agree, Leon acknowledged his point.
           âHagakure mighta fired the first shot⊠But dude, itâs like Naegi said. The guy never wouldâve murdered if Monokuma hadnât given us those videos!â
           Togami turned on the All-Star in aggravation.
           âAnd you donât think Monokuma can produce the same result again? Manipulation or not, Hagakure has shown what we all are capable of.â
           Asahina stared, wide-eyed.
           âB-But⊠Weâve gotta work together and fight back against the Puppetmaster so that no one else gets hurtâŠ!â
           âWhat did I just say? Cut the crap!â Togami snarled. âYouâre not making anyone feel any better⊠âFight backâ? âWork togetherâ? Pah! This isnât some damn never-ending ninja comic!â
           âOr is itâŠ?â Yamada wondered.
           âIt seems whomever is behind this â the âPuppetmaster,â so to speak â has far more power than we had imagined.â Celes pointed out. âThis Puppetmaster has taken over Hopeâs Peak Academy â despite its heavy security â and then fortified it even further⊠He built the seemingly high-tech Monokuma â he assembled a vast store of daily necessities for us⊠And above all, thereâs that execution⊠Far too much effort has been put into all this⊠That this could be the work of a mere madman is unfathomable⊠I believe itâs safe to say that resistance is not in our best interests.â
           âIf so, what are we to do?â Sakura asked.
           âWe abide by the rules.â Togami crisply replied. âIf you absolutely want out⊠then cheat everyone else and win the game⊠Thatâs your only option.â
           Fujisaki looked down miserably.
           âI⊠I canâtâŠâ
           âWhat was that?â Togami snapped.
           âI donât want to live⊠if it means someone else has to die⊠I canât bear⊠to kill anyone elseâŠâ
           Leon cocked his head.
           âWaddya mean âelseâ?â
           âHagakure! Heâs dead because we voted for him!â Fujisaki argued. âWe killed him!â
           âYou know we would have gotten killed if we hadnât voted for him, right?â Junko tried to placate the programmer. âWe⊠didnât have a choiceâŠâ
           âIndeed! Any further attempts at self-flagellation and youâll have crossed the border into masochism!â Yamada chipped in. However, Fujisaki didnât look any more comforted by their situation.
           âHey, FujisakiâŠâ Naegi said in a gentle voice. âYouâre not the bad guy here. Neither are Hagakure or Fukawa⊠Itâs all his doing⊠All of this is on the Puppetmasterâs hands. He coerced us into casting those ballots⊠and who knows what would have happened if we said no⊠He called it an âexecution,â but, in the end, the Puppetmasterâs still the one who pulled the trigger! So⊠itâs not ourselves we should hate⊠but that damn Puppetmaster!â
           Not even a moment after Naegi gave that speech, the school bell rang out, signaling that nighttime had arrived. As usual, Monokuma appeared on the screen, though he had a little more to say this time.
           âAhem, may I have your attention, please? The time is now 10 P.M. âNighttimeâ is now in effect.  The cafeteria is now off-limits, and the door will be locked momentarily. Oh, and one more thing⊠There was an ugly trace of self-justification poking its head out of that discussion you guys were having. Here and there and gone and yon⊠I could whack that mole with my eyes closed! Listen up, and take this to heart⊠The act of judging someone is a heavy cross to bear! Make sure you can feel that weight! Order can only survive on the shoulders of sacrifice and responsibility! And with that, I wish you all a good night. Sweet dreamsâŠâ
           Junkoâs hand twitched as she scowled.
           âWhat⊠the hell was that?!â
           âAll of this is on us? Somehow, I donât buy thatâŠâ Leon scoffed.
           âThat piece of shit! Always sayinâ whatever the hell he wantsâŠ!â Mondo roared.
           Everyone filed out of the cafeteria soon after that â they didnât have a choice, with nighttime in effect. They dispersed and returned to their rooms, resolving to figure out what to do the next day. Well. Almost everyone went to their own roomsâŠ
           âUm⊠Makoto?â
           Naegi noticed the idol hadnât bothered to leave his side, or move toward her door, which was the next one over.
           âWhatâs up? Want me to stay with you for a while?â The Luckster blushed a little as he knew that suggestion mightâve been⊠a little too intimate, but considering the events theyâd gone through that day, Maizono looked like she needed that intimacy.
           Which is why he was a little confused when the idol blushed even more deeply than him.
           âW-Well⊠Sort of. I was actually wondering if youâd be okay if I stayed in your room for the night.â
           As Naegiâs brain registered Maizonoâs request, his blush deepened as well, and he totally lost his composure. However, his brain soon realized what she really must have been requesting.
           âO-O-Oh⊠You m-mean like a room exchangeâŠâ
           Sayaka dragged a foot on the ground, and she did not look up at him as her blush did not go away.
           âUm⊠no. I really do mean, can I stay the night with you?â Only now did she look up at the Luckster, and he could see the most serious and hopeful gaze he had seen from her yet. This wasnât some joke. As he desperately tried to work his jaw, Maizono shyly tried to explain herself. âI-I mean⊠I know itâs unusual, frowned upon, whatever⊠I just⊠I need that reassurance you wonât die on me next⊠yâknow? Even⊠if itâs just for one nightâŠâ
           Makotoâs heart thundered inside of his chest a mile a minute, the more Sayaka spoke. She⊠cared about him that much? Granted, he was the only person she âknewâ in this godforsaken place, but he was honestly touched. He was⊠ecstatic. Excited. And yet⊠he didnât want to get carried away. Whatever special connection they had now, that could all go away the minute they left the academy. There was no way an ordinary guy like him would end up with the Ultimate Pop Idol. He shouldnât even be thinking about that stuff when the thing Maizono needed was companionship after a traumatic experience.
           ⊠But he was human, and Makoto couldnât help but lingering on those thoughts, even if only momentarily.
           âS-Sure! I donât mind!â Makoto yelped out after he realized heâd probably made her wait several minutes in uncomfortable silence. Thankfully, she didnât seem to mind, and her relieved smile was enough to send his heart aflutter again.
           âThanks, MakotoâŠâ
           Naegi was not expecting the heartfelt hug⊠but he did not shy away from it, as his arms wrapped around her waist and he buries his nose in her hair. He could never get enough of her scent.
           ~*~
           âArms out! Up and down, up and down~! One. Two. Three. FourâŠâ
           âOne! Two! Threeee! Four!â
           âFaster on the up and down! Bring âem in, and out again! In and out! Work that muscle tone! Speed and power! Letâs burn that butter!â
           ⊠The next morning, Monokuma had summoned them all to the gymnasium. A good number of them dreaded that the monochrome bear was hitting them with another motive so soon⊠But no⊠Instead, he attempted to make them do exercises. Most of them didnât participate â hell, the only gung-ho one was Ishimaru, though that was hardly a surprise.
           âAhh, man⊠It feels great to get a good workout! Being indoors all the time is bad for your body!â The sadistic bear gushed. Leon just rolled his eyes.
           âYouâre the one who locked us up in here, manâŠâ
           âDonât fret the small stuff! Thatâs my motto~. Ack! I just said something cool just now, didnât I? Have I won you over? Have you fallen so hard for me you could die? Is the weight of your love crushing?â
           âWhat do you want from us?!â Sakura bellowed. âSurely you did not call us here simply to exerciseâŠâ
           Monokuma straightened up rigidly.
           âSimply⊠to exercise? Waddya mean, âsimplyâ?â He raised his arms threateningly. âYou only mock my workout⊠because you canât handle my workout! The Monokuma Workout is filled to the brim with secret techniques from the Monkey Assassin Style! Techniques passed down through the generations, from a secret fighting style used in an empire of darkness~.â
           Yamada just gaped in awe at the childishness.
           âThat sounds like the kind of embarrassing idea a middle-schooler would come up withâŠâ
           Makoto sighed.
           âWhatever, just answer the question⊠Did you really just call us here to do some exercises?â
           Monokuma shook with rage.
           âGoodness gracious! Heavens no! I donât have that kind of time!â
           âSoooâŠ?â Makoto prompted him.
           âAhem! I have an announcement! For every Class Trial you survive, a whole new world inside the academy will be made available to you!â
           âA new world?â Junko cocked her head.
           âDonâtcha think it would be kinda suckish if you had to spend your whole lives here without any excitement? Plus, you Generation Z-ers start getting all cranky when you run out of things to do! So with that⊠youâre free to begin exploring. Enjoy the post-Trial world to your heartsâ content!â Giggling, Monokuma took his leave. The students were left somewhat flabbergasted by this development.
           âA new worldâŠ?â Sayaka murmured.
           âLike, a way out?â Asahina exclaimed.
           Celes frowned.
           âThe chances of that are lowâŠâ
           âYou canât say shit âtil youâve actually looked!â Mondo bellowed.
           âRegardless⊠It seems we need to perform yet another search of the premises...â Sakura suggested.
           âAll right, soldiers! Letâs split up and move out!â Ishimaru declared. âOnce weâve completed our rounds, weâll rendezvous in the cafeteria for a debriefing!â
           Togami rolled his eyes and scoffed.
           âAre those the only words you know?â
           âItâs called consistency! Now, move out!â
           They didnât need further prompting. The thirteen remaining teens dispersed, with a handful staying on the ground floor to check out the locked areas there. Most of them moved up to the second floorâŠ
           ~*~
           âSo, this is the second floorâŠâ Naegi mused as he and Sayaka reached the top of the stairs. Other than the hallway lighting changing a little, the second level of the school gave off the same creepy vibe as the first.
           âThe hall looks pretty longâŠâ The idol remarked. And she was right. Other than one little turn, which could easily be avoided, and the one branch-off by the stairs that led to some double doors with an anchor painted on them, the corridor looked like it could go on for a while.
           âWell, letâs have a look around! If we canât find an exit, maybe we can find some clue to the Puppetmasterâs identity!â Naegi remained hopeful. Sayaka nodded in agreement, and the two set off for the double doors first, since that was the closest place to check out.
           Inside, they found a bunch of lifeguard equipment, two more doors that had what appeared to be card readers next to them, andâŠ
           âA Gatling gun?!â Naegi yelped as he took a step back out of instinct. For indeed, there was a gun mounted on the ceiling, pointed at the doors. Implying that there was some rule about who could go through which door.
           ⊠In hindsight, Naegi supposed he shouldnât be surprised by the lengths Monokuma went to for âpunishment.â He just hoped no one would fall victim to the gun⊠Thatâd be way, way too similar to how they lost HagakureâŠ
           âYeah, you just missed him.â Junko explained as Naegi regained his bearings. The Luckster only just realized that she, Fujisaki, Asahina, and Celes were there in the room, too. âBasically, only girls can go in the left changing room, and only guys can use the right one. We use our ElectroIDs to get in, and heâs gonna update the rules so no one can borrow each otherâs IDs.â
           Celes folded her hands under her chin pleasantly.
           âYou can thank me for that. We would not want Yamada or Leon to slip in uninvited.â
           Naegi sweatdropped as Celes specifically named them. Leon mightâve been a bit of a womanizer, but he wasnât nearly as bad as Yamada⊠At least, in Naegiâs humble opinionâŠ
           âThe changing rooms also have exercise equipment! Fujisaki chirped. But she was easily outdone by Asahinaâs enthusiasm.
           "Naegi! They have a pool! A pool! You gotta take a dip with me!!!â
           Naegi grinned sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.
           âMaybe later, Hina. We still got some investigating to do, don'tcha think? Besides, do you even have a swimsuit?â
           Asahina pouted and tilted her head.
           âIâll just swim with my clothes on. No biggie.â
           Naegiâs face became a tomato as perverted images ran through his brain of Asahinaâs clothes sticking to her well-toned body, and for the first time in a while, he heard Sayaka giggle beside him. And despite his embarrassment, he couldnât help but crack a small smile. Even if the last trial still plagued her mind, it seemed like Maizono was steadily feeling better. This made him feel a lot better, too.
           âDo I need to chaperone you kids~?â The idol teased and stuck out her tongue. Needless to say, Asahina was confused, but the other three girls looked as amused as Sayaka did.
           Naegi just pressed on as best as he could, despite his intense embarrassment.
           âA-Anyway⊠Iâll still hafta pass, Hina. I still wanna explore other areas before any⊠swimming.â
           âAww! Not you, too! These three all passed on it, too.â The swimmer humphed cutely. âSwimmingâs always the answer!â
           â⊠No, I think that only applies to you, HinaâŠâ Naegi dryly thought to himself.
           âYouâre probably right~. She IS a swimmer, after all.â Sayaka teased Naegi, making him look gobsmacked at her. Again.
           âH-How did youâŠ!?â
           âYou should know by now, silly~. Iâm an esper!â Sayaka chirped. Naegi just twitched a little.
           âYeah, youâre kidding. You just have really good intuition.â
           Sayaka tilted her head back and forth cutely.
           âNope~. Definitely psychic!â
           ââŠâ No matter what, Naegi was not going to fall for that again. No way, no how.
           âŠâŠ But still⊠There was always a possibility⊠RightâŠ?
           ~*~
           âHuh⊠So thereâs a third floor, too⊠Probably even more.â Naegi muttered as he and Maizono looked at the gate covering up the stairs to the next level. Leon was loitering around that area of the hall, too.
           âYeah⊠Same deal as before. Sakura couldnât budge it an inch, and the same goes for the plates on the windows.â
           â⊠I hope we donât get access to that third floorâŠâ Sayaka wearily sighed. They all knew what they had to do to get another level of the school opened to them, and that just wasnât worth the price.
           âSo, what else does this floor have to offer?â Naegi asked the All-Star, who crossed his arms.
           âWell⊠Thereâs a couple more classrooms, and thereâs a library. I didnât stay to check it out, âcause libraries arenât my thing⊠Kirigiri, Togami, and tubs stayed, though.â
           âHow about the first floor? You originally stayed behind with Mondo and Ishimaru, didnât you?â The idol asked curiously.
           âYeeeah⊠But Ishimaru kinda gave me the boot, âcause the nurseâs office was still locked, and there was only so much in the dorm area that was locked. Iâm sure somethinâ opened up there, but Mondo and Ishimaru have it covered.â
           Makoto rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
           âSo⊠We have a pool, some exercise rooms, and a library as the second floorâs âmain attractionsâ⊠Itâs not a whole lot to get excited over. But maybe the libraryâŠâ
           âYeah, I think we should go and check on those guys,â Sayaka agreed. âThere might be something in there.â
           Leon rubbed the back of his head roguishly.
           âHehe⊠You guys do that, Iâm gonna scope out the pool, if ya catch my drift~.â Leon winked and took his leave. Sayaka groaned terribly contained exasperation, and Makoto laughed bashfully.
           âSo, let me get this straight⊠Itâs bad when Leonâs perverted, but when I get perverted thoughts, suddenly itâs okay?â
           Sayaka puffed out her cheeks adorably.
           âItâs different! Very, very different!â
           âHow?â Naegi was truly baffled.
           âItâs cute when it happens to you!â
           ⊠Aaand the Luckster was back to doing his impersonation of a tomatoâŠ
           ~*~
           The library was clearly the largest room on the second floor. And still, despite its wealth of books, there wasnât a whole lot that was useful to them. There was an archive room with various files, too â but if there were any hints to the Puppetmasterâs identity planted amongst the shelves, they would be at it for a while, sorting through the âuselessâ books. Yamada was rather put out there wasnât any of his doujinshi in that library⊠But that was neither here nor there.
           There was a laptop that didnât seem to be working. Kirigiri was planning to show it to Fujisaki later, to see if there was anything she could do with it. The last thing was a dusty letter that was left lying out in the open, which in essence explained that Hopeâs Peak, for vague reasons that they didnât go into detail about, was forced to close its doors for an indefinite amount of time. Their current working theory was that it had something to do with why they were trapped and imprisoned there, but without more information, there would be no way to confirm or deny it.
           Once Naegi and Maizono had a cursory look around the library and archives, they followed Kirigiri, Togami, and Yamada down to the cafeteria to rejoin their classmates. It wasnât too much of a surprise that they were the last group to return, but it didnât look like the others had been waiting too long.
           âGood work, soldiers! Does anyone have anything to report?!â Ishimaru initiated the meeting.
           âThere is a library!â Yamada exclaimed exuberantly.
           âThereâs a pool! A pool! And changing rooms with a whole bunch of exercise equipment!â Asahina added with just as much energy.
           âHowever, there was nothing resembling an exitâŠâ Sakura conceded. Naegi vocally agreed. Ishimaru just nodded his head.
           âDespair not, my friends. For I have made a groundbreaking discovery⊠Listen to this! We now have access to the storeroom and the large bath here in the dormitory! Thereâs a wealth of food, clothing, and supplies in the storeroom! Why, itâs an exercise in excess! Now we can snack whenever we want!â The prefect chuckled heartily.
           Celes placed her hands on her hips.
           âTry not to forget that leaving your room at night is forbiddenâŠâ
           Mondo seemed dissatisfied with all their attitudes.
           âAnd what about the important part: a way out?â
           Ishimaru hesitated in answering.
           âWell, uh⊠You seeâŠâ
           âWas there somethinâ in that storeroom we could use to bust outta this joint?!â Mondoâs hand twitched angrily.
           âI-I⊠I regret to informâŠâ
           âDamnit, guys⊠This ainât the time to be squealinâ about new places to jerk around in! Weâre trapped in here, damnit! Trapped! Weâre supposed to be lookinâ for a way out!â
           âNow, now⊠Trying to find faults in everything we do isnât going to accomplish anythingâŠâ Celes chided the biker. âAdaptability. Itâs all about being able to adapt⊠So letâs enjoy being locked up together~!â
           âScrew that!â Mondo snarled.
           Ishimaru sighed.
           âWell, for the time being, continue your recon, and if you find anything, you can make a report thenâŠâ The prefect sounded much more dismal than when he had started the meeting.
           âSo weâre done for the day?â Kirigiri asked for clarification.
           âAh, yeahâŠâ Ishimaru sighed again. He had truly believed they had gained some precious commodities with these new territories to explore â they all had believed that â but to be reminded there was still no sign of a way out⊠It was disheartening.
           Naegi suspected this was the Puppetmasterâs strategy. He would build up their expectations, only to knock them back down; to be honest, that did seem to fit with his âall I want is despairâ M.O. Regardless, as tough as it was to swallow, Naegi was not going to lose hope. New discoveries were still waiting to be made, and their groupâs harmony was still fairly strong, even after everything that had happened to them thus far.
           If only he knew about the despair that was to come in the near futureâŠ

Studying - Hannah Baker
Anonymous said:
hey could you do a hannah x fem! reader where she usually goes to bryces house after school bc her brother (alex) always drags her there and she hates it because bryce always hits on her but instead she go to hannahs house to study and tells her about it because she doesn't have a lot of friends so hannah confesses her feelings and maybe hannahs mom can walk in on them cuddling and her parents shipping the two (hope this makes sense its my first time requesting something oops) and thank you!! :)
First time writing Hannah! If you have any tips/suggestions leave a comment or message me!
Ever since moving, things had been different. Even Alex, your older brother, had changed. The only thing that hadnât were the cliches of High School. Alex hold even succumbed to the pressures of fitting. He started to hang out with the jocks, who you tried to give the benefit of the doubt. It was hard though, giving them a chance. You witnessed, or so it seemed, every bad move made on their part. Drugs, hardcore drinking, and serious lack of control.
It had become part of your daily routine, going to Bryceâs house that is. It was not your first choice, but Alex had a habit of bringing you wherever he went. The only time you didnât go over to his house was when you first moved and Alex was close with Hannah Baker. When he started dating, and then broke up with, Jessica Davis, thatâs when he became âfriendsâ with Bryce. You couldnât help but pity your brother and his efforts to fit in with people like Justin Foley. So, almost everyday you found yourself at the treachery of high school boys. Bryce just seemed to think anything or anyone that walked through his door was there because he owned them; including yourself. You were subjected to Bryceâs gross flirting while Alex played video games with Justin and Monty. Everyday went the about same :
âLookinâ good Y/N.â Bryce said, lowly enough for his words to escape Alexâs ears. He leaned in close to you, as you sat with your feet in the pool. A shiver went down your back as he breath tickled the shell of your ear. âYou wanna go up to my room and show me how great you look without clothes?â You turned your head, an appalled expression on your features. Before he could continue, Zach called him inside the pool house. As he walked away, Bryce shot you a lewd wink. You rolled your eyes and mentally gagged. If it wasnât the constant, sleazy flirting, it was touching your arms or legs when you obviously didnât want to be touched. Being around the over-privileged jock made you miss the times your brother would drag you to Monetâs. At least there youâd get along with Jessica and Hannah while your brother worked his way through the extravagant menu.
You had always enjoyed being in the company of the two girls. While Jessica had a flare for the dramatics, Hannah was always reasonable and kind. You missed the way sheâd laugh when you said something totally stupid and how bright her smile was. You couldn't help but form a little crush on the witty brown haired girl. So it really confused you when Alex dropped away from the F.M.L. group, even more so when he started to date Jessica. Being the younger of the Standalls and in freshman classes, you rarely saw Hannah in the hallways. The one time you did see Hannah during the day was lunch; but then Alex, under the teachings and rules of your father, wouldnât let his little sister stray to a different table.
âHey Y/N, why donât you have a drink with us?â Bryce shouted, bringing your attention away from the water and your thoughts of Hannah. You shook your head as you brought your feet out of the water. You walked over to where you backpack was, slipping on your shoes. You wanted to leave now, but convincing them that you had to go would be tough. At least convincing Bryce to let you go. Heâd probably try to sway you every which way and win over Alex.
âI have schoolwork and a project to work on. Alex, can you drive me?â It was a lame excuse, but you had hopes it would work. Bryce let out a groan and draped an arm over your shoulders, You shrunk against his touch, getting free of he reach as quickly as you could.
âCâmon Y/N, just loosen up a little,â he teased in a disgusting tone. You looked over at Alex, whose blue eyes were on you for a brief moment before looking back at the video game. You let out a small gasp at your brotherâs action before turning your back on him entirely.
âIâm going,â you said, âIâll see you at home Alex.â You headed off towards the gate to Bryceâs yard when you heard someone running up behind you. You almost spun around, ready to strike at the hand on you shoulder. But when you turned around you saw Alex.
âIâll drive you,â he said, but you shook your head. âWhat is it Y/N?â
âJust stay here with your friends! Iâll be at,â you paused, âHannahâs house.â Your brain had thought of the nearest place you could go to, to someone you consider a friend.
âWhy her house?â Alex asked dumbly. You just rolled your eyes and pushed open the gate. You walked down the street and away from Bryceâs house. It wasnât that far of a walk to Hannahâs, but you hadnât been there in so long you had to think back on street names so not to get lost. You made it to her door 15 minutes after leaving. You knocked a few times, rocking on your feet as you waited for an answer.
âHello-Oh! Y/N, hi!â Hannah greeted you, pulling you inside without a second thought. You smiled as Hannah told you to relax and asked if you needed anything.
âIâm fine Hannah, really.â You said as she lead you into her bedroom.
âAre you sure? My parents arenât home so we can stuff ourselves with enough junk food to feed an elephant.â You let out a giggle as the two of you walked into her room.
âIâm okay. Well not really but, yeah.â You said, standing awkwardly in her room while Hannah flopped down on her bed. Her long hair fanned out against her pillow, making it look like she was an angel; maybe she was.
âWhat happened?â Hannah asked as she moved to sit up. You shook your and looked around her room. Her walls were littered with photos of family and friends from her home town, band posters and doodles. You looked back at her and saw that she was patting the spot next to her on her bed. âCome, sit, tell me of what haunts my precious Y/N.â You laughed at the goofy voice she used but sat next to her anyway.
âItâs just my brother, you started, âheâs been hanging out with the wrong crowd. Like Bryce and Justin. Theyâre not good influences on him.â Hannah nodded as you spoke, taking in your words. âAnd I always have to go over to Bryceâs house because thatâs where Alex goes after school. Itâs just annoying. Bryce is annoying.â
âHow so,â Hannah asked, her voice weary. You locked eyes with her, wondering if you should tell her. Her blue eyes looked at you with a sincerity you havenât seen in awhile. The concern on her face was overwhelming, convincing you to tell her.
âBryce flirts all the time. Like he says sexual things sometimes and itâs gross. He also doesnât seem to know that I like personal space, or space away from him. I had to tell all of them that I had to study in order to get out of there.â You looked away from her, down at your hands that fiddled with your fingers; to hide the tears that had escaped your eyes. Suddenly, Hannah placed her own hand over yours, stopping your fidgeting. You looked up and saw how close she was.
âMe and my Mom can drop you after school. You can stay over after school, I just want you away from Bryce.â You were a little shocked at her bluntness, but appreciated her protectiveness. âReally Y/N, let me help. You donât have to hang around your brotherâs friends. â
âYeah, but it was nice when he was friends with you. I missed hanging out with you, even Jessica,â you teased. Hannah smiled and brushed a piece of hair from your face.
âI missed you too,â she whispered in return. Your felt your heart flutter at her words. âI wanted to see you,â she said, âbut it looked like you were okay. Iâve shouldâve-â You cut Hannahâs speech by pressing your lips to hers. As inexperienced as you were, you had the basic idea on what to do. As you moved your mouth against hers, Hannah smiled into the kiss.
âYeah, I really missed you,â she mumbled against your lips. You let out a soft giggle as you rested your forehead against hers. You smiled brightly at each other before you spoke up.
âI-I uh, I like you.â Hannahâs smile grew impossibly wider. âSince my Freshman year,â you added, âI always wondered how someone could be so wonderful and pretty.â You ran your fingers through the hair that had fallen over your shoulder.
âI like you too.â She whispered and you felt a wave of affection wash over you. âDo you wanna watch a movie on my laptop? A documentary for you know, studying purposes. We wouldnât want to like now would we?â You nodded while Hannah grabbed her laptop and settled on her bed. You laid down next to her, resting your head on her shoulder.
âOk Y/N, this is the biggest choice of your life,â Hannah teased. âWalking with Dinosaurs, a Space Documentary, or Why Sharks Attack?â You laughed and choose one of the movies. It didnât really matter to you though; you were too caught up in the warmth of Hannahâs body to care about anything else. You cuddled closer to her as the movie started up, wondering how you got so lucky.
 Mr. and Mrs. Baker came home a little later than they had planned. Mrs. Baker crept towards Hannahâs bedroom, hearing the sound of a movie being played. She peeked through the slightly open door and saw Y/N Standall curled up next to her daughter. She rested a hand on her heart, internally cooing at the sight. She walked off down the hall, happy to tell her husband that moving was the right choice after all.

Trick or Treat Letter
Ao3 - Siver
Dear Creator
Thank you for taking this on! Here there are some general prompt details if you want them and if you already have some idea of your own, awesome. I canât wait to see what you come up with.
All requests are for fic or art.
Art: Interactions of some sort: emoting at each other, talking, sharing some activity, taking a walk, hugs are always welcome, soft things, whatever suits the pair/group
Likes: fluff, hurt/comfort, comfort, missing scenes, friendships, long-term friendships, close relationships of any sort whether romantic or platonic, familial bonds, found family, sickfic, fandom crossovers or fusions, angst with a happy or at least bittersweet end, bonding, cuddling/hugs/holding, banter, mutual care and support, emotional bonding, loyalty, pre-canon, post-canon, reuniting, slice of life, supernatural stuff, mystery, adventure, worldbuilding, creepy or unsettling atmospheres
DNW: NSFW, non-con, dub-con, underage relationships, unrequested ships, infidelity, explicit gore
Any combination of tags within each fandom is cool. Heck, any crossover/fusion between any of these fandoms is welcome too, go nuts.
For treats you canât go wrong with fluff! Friendship, familial bonds, found family, romance for the few ships listed here.
On the trick end I like it atmospheric. Unsettling atmospheres. Unresolved mystery. Making use of the stranger environments the game may already provide. The surreal. The strange. The supernatural.
Ghost Trick          Â
Cabanela (Ghost Trick)
Sissel (Ghost Trick)
Jowd (Ghost Trick)
Alma (Ghost Trick)
Kamila (Ghost Trick)
Missile (Ghost Trick)

Ships Iâm good with: Alma/Jowd/Cabanela, Alma/Jowd, Cabanela/Jowd (where the focus is there but without infidelity to Alma), Alma/Cabanela (with assumption of Jowdâs involvement, again just the focus landing there)
I love this game, its characters and pretty much everything about it, so whatever you want to do will be great I am sure. New timeline mysteries and missing memories are always welcome where it makes sense. Alternate timelines and what-ifs are cool to explore. Fluff, comfort, family found or otherwise and friendships are always a go. Spooky ghost shenanigans, mysteries in the night. Any combination of these characters is more than welcome too!
Any combination of Jowd/Cabanela/Alma or Jowd & Cabanela & Alma is always welcome.
Always down for various combinations of Pigeon Man with Cabanela, Jowd and/or Kamila. Or PM with someone less expected like Alma! Or Sissel! Or Missile!
Animal shenanigans and fluff is great.

Any gen combination of characters is welcome here. Always down for some found family opportunities. All that travelling time is ripe for more interaction or character exploration in either world of balance or ruin, but particularly interested in world of ruin moments. Also interested in what they might be doing after the world is saved too.
Anything with the Phantom Train is ripe for the trick side of things either during the Phantom Train stuff in-game, or maybe they somehow run into it again in the Word of Ruin...
Pyre

Ti'Zo (Pyre)Â
Sir Gilman (Pyre)Â
Big Bertrude (Pyre)Â
Volfred Sandalwood (Pyre)Â

Ships Iâm good with: Volfred/Tariq (and Oralech involvement is good too)
Found family joys. Daily activities while they travel? Post Peaceful revolution activities? Any combo here is great. Iâm good with Volfred/Tariq or Volfred & Tariq. Volfred and Bertrude friendship gives me life. Snakes doing snake things. Imps doing imp things. More adorable moments with Tiâzo and Volfred. Heralds doing herald things.

Nu (Chrono Trigger)Â
Lucca Ashtear (Chrono Trigger)Â
Belthasar (Chrono Trigger)Â
Robo (Chrono Trigger)Â

For Magus and/or Schala Iâd be interested in anything Zeal related.
Nu: The world begins and ends with Nu. I honestly donât even know. Just Nu. Whatever Nu may inspire Iâm interested in seeing.
Belthasar: End of Time stuff? Or before he was sent there. Early days there?
The Last Guardian
The Boy (The Last Guardian)Â
Trico (The Last Guardian)
Give me all the cat-dog-bird fluff/shenanigans/playfulness/warmth/coziness. Anything while theyâre together. Barrel feeding, snuggle time, riding, flying. Sweet or silly (Trico has his moments for sure) or something else. I adore Trico. I adore the boy and Tricoâs companionship.
Alternatively something in the future. The boy grown up reuniting with Trico. A flight with Trico. A temporary willing return to the nest. Meeting Trico babies!

Tio Plato (LoH VII)Â
Sergei Lou (LoH VII)Â
Lloyd Bannings (LoH VII)Â
Elie MacDowell (LoH VII)Â

No ships here please.
Bonding and found family is the name of the game here! Tio and Zeit spending time together. Lloyd and Randy having bro time or Lloyd trying to remind Randy that he does indeed belong with SSS. KeA and âUncleâ Sergei time! What might they do together, or what does KeA get Sergei to do with her? Lloyd and KeA spending time together, Lloyd spoiling KeA, KeA being a comfort to Lloyd. KeA turning on the charm on Dudley. Dudley and Sergei interaction. Any combination of any of the SSS related characters is great if you want a bigger SSS gathering. I love them all.
As for Campanella have fun. Go for the strange or unsettling. Ouroboros activity or out for a wander doing his own thing. Whatever it is Campanella does...

Olivier & Cassius: Iâm just really interested to see more interaction between these two whether while theyâre still planning or something before Olivier goes back to Erebonia after Sky SC. Cassius canât help himself when it comes to giving adviceâŠ
Always welcome close friendship moments between Julia and Kloe.
Friendship between Mueller and Julia is cool.
Iâm great with Olivier/Muller or Olivier & Mueller stuff.

Alternatively in CSII on the Courageous, Olivier is only a call away; some quiet talk between Alfin and Olivier would be good, share some worries and comfort.
School times are fun for those who are applicable. Iâd also be interested in seeing something with Emma and Laura while theyâre in Legram during the month between CS I and II. Further exploration of Lohengrin Castle?
Or with Fie while sheâs with Machias and Elliot. Emma and Fie or Fie and Laura or all three is great too.
Unexpected combos are more than welcome to if you can make it work. Olivier and/or Mueller coming across Celine on one of his trips to Thors? Celine and Fie times? Alfin and anyone else here? Etc.

Sylvia | Sylvando (Dragon Quest XI)Â
Graig | Hendrik (Dragon Quest XI)

Adventure! Exploration! Missing scenes are always great. All those campfires are ripe for interactions or singular character activity or introspection. Other characters are welcome to make appearances if desired.Interested in any gen combo of these three, but in particular Sylvando and Hendrik, or Sylvando and Serena.

AMAZING FREE LIVE VIDEO DEMONSTRATIONPlease turn up your speakers
Watch this incredible live video demonstration to see the 100% Winning Power of the Equalizer365
Betting Pad.
Even though I have been developing money making systems for years that have helped thousands and thousands of ordinary people make extraordinary incomes, my real driving desire is developing money making systems for the Betting Industry. This includes horse racing, dog races, football, basketball, hockey, tennis â you name it.
But ⊠my number one passion is betting on horses because of a hidden secret that I discovered years ago and it lead me to develop an incredible piece of software that tells me EXACTLY how to make money hand over fist on every single wager I make 100% of the time. And now ⊠Â
Iâm going to show you how to consistently win outrageous amounts of money whether you bet on horse racing, greyhounds, football and other sports or any other betting scenario with my easy-to-use web-based software!
I donât mean just a few dollars either ⊠I mean stuffing your pockets full over and over with real money because the truth is ⊠you can use betting and your love of betting on sports to create a Massively Compounding â Bank Account.
When I say you can make a lot of money, I mean âŠ
Whether youâre a die-hard gambler, options trader, a sports lover, a casual bettor or looking for a new way to make a living ⊠the truth is, betting on sports can be one of the most lucrative ways to make money fast in these tough economic times.
Each and every day âŠÂ using our tried-and-proven approach to betting can easily put more money in your pocket and more cash in your bank account.
Using our betting software and following our proven strategies CAN take the place of any job.
Imagine ⊠winning all of your bets, increasing your bankroll and putting mega-profits in your pocket â even if youâre a new and inexperienced bettor!
Imagine ⊠having a web-based tool at your disposal that allows you to win races every single time you go to the track â or simply bet the horses right online!
Imagine ⊠using a time-tested piece of software that literally incorporates the numbers, statistics and precise probabilities that tell you each time the exact bet for you to make ⊠taking your emotions out of the process ⊠so youâre left with the perfect proven bet to make.
Imagine ⊠software so powerful, yet so easy to use, literally a 10-year-old could use it to make money in about 10 minutes.
Imagine ⊠having a way that makes it impossible for you to lose any of your bets ever again â because even if you lose a bet, or a certain number of bets in a row, the software is always using its Smart-Bet Technology
to precisely and methodically calculate every one of your losing bets turning them back into winning bets keeping you in profit â every single time, no matter what!
Imagine now that such an incredible piece of game-changing software truly does exist! YES!
I Finally âCracked the Codeâ To Make a 100% Winning Strategy!
After about 31 years â and a lot of hard work and effort â I âcracked the codeâ to my proven betting software with a 100% winning strategy ⊠and now I want to help YOU do the same.
In fact, soon after I started betting on races, I quickly realized that successfully betting on sports was all about statistics ⊠not your favorite horse or your favorite team. Â
In fact, horse racing has very little to do with the horses, or with luck, or with anything else other than numbers, statistics and probability. In fact ⊠your favorite may never be a good bet at all. The truth is ⊠you need to take your emotions out of your betting and use every statistic possible. My years and years of research in pursuit of a winning sports-betting strategy finally paid off because I developed one of the biggest software breakthroughs ever achieved in the sports betting world!
In order to win at sports betting, I needed to have a rock-solid, easy-to-use system. Not only did I come up with a completely unique and consistent winning software for making a steady profit âŠ
The Software Literally Turns Your Losing Bets Into Winning Bets Â
Instead of the up-and-down roller coaster effect of betting and winning then losing, then winning, then losing money all the time ⊠I started profiting consistently. It took a few tweaks to my strategy and a few hundred to maybe even a thousand tweaks to my software and, since that time, Iâve never looked back.
The key to winning bets is all in statistics and understanding how to manage your money so you can get the biggest return on your money!
Since I knew that was the case, I designed an incredible piece of software that strictly uses numbers, statistics and probability to take all the guesswork out of betting. Not only did it take all the guesswork out, it removed ALL the emotions from betting as well. It tells you exactly what your next bet should be.
This revolutionary software is as close to an automatic income-generating machine as you will ever see. You can make money in your spare time, do it as a hobby or go fulltime and make a boatload of cash!
I call it the Equalizer365
because it levels the playing field for ALL bettors and it makes it equal for anyone 365 days a year, regardless of experience, to be able to manage their money and turn their losing bets into winning bets.Â

This software also takes into consideration the total number of STATISTICAL factors for any given circumstances no matter what sport you are betting on and keeps you in a profit-making mode â even when the event you just wagered on did not win. Youâll actually be winning no matter what the outcome of the event you were wagering on does!
