#just means that I was correct and now Kai gets to drop her off at Aizawa's house for the weekend

[chainslobber]

Isn't it funny how Eri's whole plotline was that she had to learn how to smile?

Isn't it funny how she was with Pops for a while who could've given her anything she wanted and she still wasn't happy?

Isn't it funny how we never saw Kai smile--not once--in the entirety of his character development? And people are going 'well at least Pops gave him a home-"

Kinda seems like he was a piece of shit, just saying.

“oh, god, no...” — or an alt title: three people bonding over random things as alex makes a horrible decision

one of his worst ideas ever. he’s never doing it ever again.

a/n ckckckckcck i love u dino anon but i was a bit stumped on where this could go BUT i give u surprise to make it more fun i love love love alex my i wanna say pookie but i cant take that word seriously. also im guilty of oversharing roolore in these suposedly shorter chapters. and now that im realizing things this kinda suck lawl

THE KANGAROO(KIE) VS. THE WORLD

after a long day of media, roo was finally free to do whatever she pleased (that being going back to her hotel and pass out until whatever time her body wakes up). currently, she’s slipping on her backpack and taking her phone out, scrolling mindlessly on her contacts until she found the right name.

“where the hell are you?” she starts, holding her phone to her face. “alright. you wanna watch a movie ‘til we pass out?” she paused waiting for an answer as she walks out of the building, “‘kay, i’ll meet you out front.”

just as she clicked her phone off, she looked up to be met with a face that just… stood there with a smile—making her jump and scream in surprise, catching the attention of people around.

when she collected all her life (that had been scattered when she got spooked) she took notice of the source of her heart-attack. he smiled innocently still, as if he’s done nothing wrong.

“WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!”

alex, the culprit in question didn’t falter (though he did flinch a little bit at her outburst), he saw this one coming and to be quite frank, he did this to himself.

“i deserved that.” he closed his eyes in acceptance of defeat. alas, he brushed it off, he moved to her side and slung a hand around her shoulder. she was about to shrug him off but decided against it. “how would you feel about helping me pick my next hair color?”

that piqued her interest, she finally looks up to come face-to-face with him again, though now a smile graced her face like a cheshire cat.

his face fell. he was starting to slowly regret his decision.

without another word, a large grin still etching her face, she fished her phone out of her pocket and started scrolling through something. when alex tried to take a peek, she immediately moved away to prevent him from doing so mumbling something along the lines of ‘corporate secrets’.

he made a face at her words. but when she finally showed him her screen, he felt as if the face he made before was a bit premature.

“what the hell is that?!” he exclaimed.

she moved her phone so she could see the picture for herself seeing not what she had opened before but rather a video instead, “oh, sorry, this was from my pitbull concert. he’s great, isn’t he?” she happily showed him the video again.

he gave her another face.

“right, uh, here.” she showed him the correct picture.

he paused. “…what is that supposed to be?”

looking at the picture again, she took a second to think about it then shrug, “neon green/yellow-ish, give or take.”

his mouth drops at her direction. “what do you mean?”

“what do you mean, ‘what do i mean’?” she takes a look at his shocked face then decided to continue, “i mean: neon green/yellow-ish!” pausing, thinking back her words, “give or take!” she pauses again and re-clarified much calmer, “okay, maybe a bit more faded and muted.”

he shook his head, non-verbally ending that part of the discussion.

“where are we even going to get that kind of color?”

she shrugs, “i know a guy.”

the two girls were now currently sitting on the couch, the doberman peacefully laying between them—her eyes too, like theirs, glued to the television playing jurassic park when suddenly a knock came, shifting all three of the girls’ attention towards it.

roo was about to get up to check who it was. being who she was, she had to be extra careful who to let into her living quarters.

“it’s me!” the other side announced.

she looked away from the door and blinked, her brows screwing together in thought until she realized who that voice belonged to.

“alex?” she tested the waters.

“yeah!”

she sighed, her eyes then looking expectantly at the dog that lied beside her, tilting her head as if she were the dog asking their owner for something.

the dog whimpers as if groaning at her request. alas, she jumped off the couch begrudgingly walking towards the door and jumping up to open it.

“he— huh?” alex stopped in his tracks when instead of seeing his friend right behind the door, she was way far sitting on the couch with her friend. she greeted him nonetheless then motioning her hand towards the dog that sat quaintly besides the door, smiling up at him happily.

“oh!” he raised his brows in surprise then bending down to pet the dog who happily accepted, “who’s this fella?” he asked in a high-pitched voice, his accent stronger than usual.

“that’s jet, she’s mine.” roo answered from the couch, jurassic park long forgotten. “what are you doing here?” she asked the brit.

alex then moved his attention away from the dog, his hand still petting her chin, “uhm—i need your help.”

“with what?” her voice slightly gurgling from taking a sip of her drink.

he then holds up the boxes of hair dye with a forced awkward smile.

she gave him a look, “what about your girlfriend?”

“busy today,” he shrugged.

“then do it tomorrow.” she counters.

“okay, fine, i’m bored and alone.” he confessed.

she wanted to help; she really did but—

she groaned loudly; head thrown back to rest on the back of the couch.

“would you believe me if i say my ass is glued and have already morphed into this couch?”

“i would, actually.”

suddenly, from far behind on the other side of the couch—her presence almost forgotten—nika made herself present, “i’ll help. my ass is getting tired of the couch and i’m pretty good with handling people’s hair; i actually spent a summer working in my mom’s salon once.”

roo the gasped, turning around to face her friend with her jaw slack in shock—sarcasm written all over her face—“you had a job? like an actual job? once upon a time?”

“oh shut the fuck up,” she waved off the racing driver and stood up from her seat on the couch over to the other. “now get up, let’s do this.”

about a half an hour into their attempt, nika and alex had set up a mini salon chair using one of the hotel’s dining table chairs with a layer of plastic sitting on the ground. the latter sat on a chair in the middle of the room with a cloth draped over the top of his body. if anyone were to come in through the front door right now, they would assume kidnapping with a side of chemical testing. nika herself had changed into one of her uglier shirts incase they would accidentally get some dye on it.

the alfa romeo driver, on the other hand, still sat where she was the entire time unmoving and un-helping, now having the large dog sat on her lap feeding treats off of her hand while the other scratches the dog between her ears.

“alright. i think that’s all of your hair.” the girl stepped back from her friend’s friend’s hair, admiring the work she’s done. “now we wait. —good luck al,” she said as she took off the plastic gloves that were now mostly green.

alex—whose chair was facing the door for some reason—gripped the chair with his two (clean) hands and moved it around along with himself so he can face the couch. “so…” he looked between his co-worker and her friend, “does she just… go everywhere with you?”

“yeah.” she answered shortly before continuing, “you guys have wags i have… this.”

he looked at nika again, “no offense to you, but—”

“it’s fine, have you met her?” she shrugged pointing at the little shit she unfortunately calls a friend.

he chuckled then continued, “what about daisy-mae? i thought she was your best friend?”

“she is. this one’s just fit baggage claim. plus—daisy’s a serious scholar she’s still very busy getting her degree.”

from the kitchen sink, nika scoffed, “yeah, while she’s stuck with me around the world, mae’s stuck with atticus in college.”

alex the jumped into the conversation at the familiar name, “oh! the drummer, right?”

“yes.”

“oh—hey,” nika turned around from the sink and walked to the closest counter to the two friends, “there’s still quite some left, who wants it?”

as if sensing an idea in the air, jet jumps off roo’s lap and ran into another room.

said girl sighs, “man, knew jet was too smart for trips like this. should’ve known i should’ve brought bennie instead.”

as if the dog heard her, a bark came from the other room.

“whatever. i guess that’s one option out the window,” she turns to nika over the counter, “do me!” she smiles happily.

“alright. your death wish.”

alex, who was momentarily smiling, dropped his previous expression, “wait what—”

"You definitely needed the sleep." Would be the PERFECT Shenko prompt :3

You are correct! Have some Emily/Kaidan fluff. ^^ ---

Emily woke with a heartbeat in her ear.

She lay still, face down, warm and cozy, as she pieced together where she was and whose heartbeat she was hearing. On the couch, in the living room, to the first. Kaidan's, of course, to the second.

She was laying with her head on his chest, their legs tangled together and his arm loosely draped over the small of her back. One of her hands had dropped to brush against the rug, and she could feel the warmth of Mo nearby even if the dog wasn't touching her.

The vid. It hit like thunder and Emily muttered in annoyance at herself as she jerked fully awake.

Kaidan was watching her. "Hey, sleepyhead."

"Sorry," she mumbled, letting her head fall back against his sternum.

"Hey you don't need to apologize." He kissed the top of her head.

"We've been tryin' to watch this for weeks and I drift off the first real chance we get?" Emily tipped her head, resting her chin on his chest so she could meet his eye. "Seems like it might be warranted, Kay."

Kaidan chuckled. "Nah, if you were tired enough to go out that fast, you definitely needed the sleep." He rubbed her back. "Were the girls that much of a handful this morning?"

"Not in a bad way," she said with a sigh. "But they're always excited about going to stay with Meema and Papa-Tom. And no one who warned me about three year old energy levels included the addendum that it compounds rather'n just adding or multiplying when you have more than one who are equally excited."

"Infinity times infinity?" he asked with a sympathetic smile.

"Mm. I love 'em with all of my heart, but those two can be more exhausting that N7 training some days." She grinned. "Best of luck to your parents, along with my heartfelt gratitude."

"You know they love it, Em."

"Mm-hm. And I love the chance to relax." She smiled sheepishly. "Even if I relaxed too far and missed the vid."

"Seriously, don't worry about that, we can try again later if watching it means that much to you." Kaidan's eyes glinted mischievously. "Far as I'm concerned, there's much worse ways to spend a couple hours than watching my wife sleep."

Her face heated. "Hours?! Babe, why didn't you move? You know I sleep like the dead."

"First of all, who says this isn't right where I wanna be?" He arched a brow and shifted to settle even more into the couch cushions. "Second, you've done the same for me through more migraines than I can count. Third," he rolled on when she opened her mouth, "I did think about it, but I drifted off, too." His dimple showed when he smiled. "I guess we both needed the sleep."

Mollified by the fact he hadn't been awake and trapped the whole time, Emily stretched up to kiss him. "I think I could stay awake through the vid now, if you wanna try again?"

Kaidan laughed softly. "You sure, sweetheart?"

"Mm-hm." She nuzzled in against his chest. "Or we could just snuggle some more."

"Ooh, I like that plan."

I knew you were a smart man. "Good, me, too."

The vid would keep.

[sensei-venus]

Also it's on my mind but idk how to execute it bc I'm still nervous about writing Johnny

But omg Robby trying to explain to his dad about being in a poly relationship with Reader and (insert literally any character), and Johnny just not getting it

Like I love this idea,but I have no idea how exactly Johnny responds

- gemini sensei

( @gemini-sensei )

I made a post like super long ago that was kinda like this-

I feel like Johnny knows what the LGBTQ+ community is, like yeah he might be a little….Johnny might get himself canceled in this day and age for just being a moron, not because he’s homophobic or anything. He uses outdated terms and probably has dropped some slurs- but only because he’s fucking old and thought- “but I thought that was the correct term-“ he’s learning, he’s trying.

(Also-Johnny told me himself- he’s probably afraid of stud lesbians- I’m sorry-he definitely got beat up by a lesbian at a bar for hitting on her fem gf)

Also the fact that probably a good portion of his dojo is fruity- he’s starting to get the idea that he may be the leader of a lgbtq+safe space.

I swear he has probably said “You teach one gay kid and suddenly more of them just start flocking together” and “gay teens love karate-“

(Please don’t give him merch ideas- crop tops with cobra kai/eagle-fang related gay puns. I can’t-)

He probably doesn’t mean to but the first time Robby says anything about being in a relationship he’s like “Scored a hot chick? Nice” because he knows Reader. Then when Robby mentions the fact that he’s dating two people, Johnny is like “Wait you can do that? Like you can do that these days with no problem???”

Johnny's brain is exploding. Brain fart.

I feel like Johnny was/is a very loving person deep down, at some point he probably had feelings for more then one person and he felt to pressured over it and broke it off both ways. He thought of it as some form of cheating, he never thought to ask if they could be a “triangle thing” probably would have saved him some heartbreak. He fully supports Robby over his decision.

He just starts to question himself about it now.

77 - The Horrific Merge

Part 78

Gemini Runaway

@icefrye19 @secretdreamlandmentality

Jo had been forced to take her magic back before Kai killed Liv. And there was supposed to be an eclipse tonight meaning the two twins would merge in place of Liv and Luke. Leading my girls through the streets Jaocb was with us. “I don’t understand why we don’t just use the spell we used on our daughters on the rest of our family we care about.”

“Because I don’t have our uncle’s leader's blood in my grasp anymore. In order for the transfer to take I need his specific blood.” I corrected my brother’s statement. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to save Jo, Liv and Luke. But I just couldn’t physically do it. I designed the spell to attack the specific curse on our bloodline with the coven.

He carried Andrea in his arm’s sighing until he noticed someone strolling in front of us. “I guess so. Uh Rae, we’ve got a problem.”

“What are you - what the hell do you want Kai?” I glanced in his direction seeing Kai strolling up to us whistling a tune.

He smirks, stopping in front of us. “Awe are these your kids. They’ll be cute to kill.”

“Invisquie.” I snapped my fingers where nobody else on the street could see us now. Knowing that we would probably be magic fighting in a few moments. “If you lay a hand on my kids I will skin you alive!”

Kai stepped forward bending down trying to act all nice to get the girls to come forward. “Awe I’m not going to hurt them, Rae Rae. Hey sweeties, do you want a present from your cousin Kai.”

“What kind of presents?” Missy asked moving forward where he touched her fingers with his making her wince when he attempted to siphon from her.

Alina takes my hand in hers, throwing him backwards on the concrete. “Phasmatos Motus!”

“Uh you little bitch. Phasmatos incendia.” He raised his hand trying to hurt her with fire. Yet nothing happens with the rest of us just looking at him. “What that’s not possible. I siphoned her magic. We share blood.”

Jaocb just smirked at him. “You can’t hurt any of us anymore, jerk.”

“What the hell did you do, cousin?” Kai growled, getting to his feet.

Tugging Missy back behind with Hope I let Alina keep standing between me and my brother. “Our parents might be related through blood, yes. But as far as being able to siphon or kill us. You have no power over us. Thanks to my binding spell.”

“You can’t do this, Phasmatos navaro pulsus sanguinox!” Kai tried again, more frustrated that nothing was working.

Alina smirked towards her second cousin launching his blood spell back at him. ““Reboundus!”

“Ah!” He collapsed onto the ground wincing up at us.

Walking towards him I let go of my daughter's hand leaving her standing by her uncle J. Bending on my knees to my cousin I growled in his face. “The next time you try to come after my family. I want you to remember this feeling. And I won’t let you kill Josette, Luke or Olivia ever!”

Turning on my heels we left him there heading to the restaurant we were going to before he found us. It was actually a nice evening until I saw Luke and Liv come inside with our uncle following them inside. “Why are they here, Rae?” Jacob asked knowing I was better with my vamp ears.

“There's nothing to figure out. This is what you were born to do.” Our uncle blabbered off.

Liv rolled her eyes. “No, dad. This is why Kai and Jo were born. We were just the backup plan you bred because you thought that your first batch had a design flaw.”

Joshua raised his voice. “Kai is a psychopath. An extremely dangerous one.”

Liv was trying to convince him to use her sister instead. “Dad, Jo can do this. She can win. All we're asking is that you give her a chance.”

Joshua reached for their hands. “I'm not asking you to do anything I haven't done myself.”

Liv scoffed at her father. “That's easy for you to say. You merged with your twin brother and you won. You didn't drop dead.”

Joshua attempted to make it sound better. “It doesn't work like that and you know it. One will absorb traits from the other. Both of your souls will unite into a new being.”

“A load of bull crap that the merge is a good thing. Let’s get out of here.” Paying for the bill we headed outside into the alleyway buying the girls all ice cream. Halting in my tracks we passed the back alleyway of the restaurant seeing the three standing outside looking at the stars.

“What are you doing out here?” Liv paused beside her twin asking their father.

Joshua turned back towards them smiling. “Just thinking about how proud I am of you and your brother. Built a good life for yourselves here.”

Luke asked his father. “Does that mean you'll think about what we asked?”

“At least you have sympathy to tell them about the curse this family has. You didn’t share the same emotion towards me and my brother. But maybe our mother was right to call you an asshole.” I strided up the group taking a bite out of my cookie dough ice cream.

Joshua turned slightly to us eyeing our daughters. “Rae. J, it’s nice to see you. Oh and are these your kids.”

“Yes. Now what do you want?” Jacob questioned him tugging his daughter against his leg, having the same suspicions that I already did.

He slowly bent down to be level with Alina, Missy and Hope. He sent them each a smile while I glared at my uncle. “I simply wanted to meet them and introduce myself. After all, I am their great uncle Joshua.”

“Mommy, says you’re mean to her.” Missy said licking her strawberry come.

Alina takes a step away from him. “That we shouldn’t trust you.”

“No, no sweet girls. She just is worried I would hurt you. But that’s not true at all. We share a history. A bloodline.” Joshua holds out his hands, one to each of them. “We're in this together. We're family.”

Hope steps around my leg seeing her sister's hand turning red meaning they were feeling his magic. She tilted her head to the side. “Mommy, is that supposed to happen?” She pointed to the lights flickering around us and the wind was picking up speed.

“Son of bitch, Rae. He’s-“ Jacob cut himself off.

Dropping my cone on the ground, my veins and fangs coming to the surface once I realized. “You bastard!”

Joshua starts the merge ceremony but he growls not be able to feel their twin connection in his veins. “Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus…urgh why isn’t it working?”

Luke gasped. “You're merging them?”

Joshua grunted while Missy and Alina tried to pull away but he’s stronger than them. “Kai has been released. He's going after Jo. I can't let him get to her.”

Liv begged him. “Dad, stop!”

Luke shouted at him. “They’re just kids, dad. They are only six years old!”

“Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus - argh Raelyn!” Uncle Joshua finally released their hands holding his head in agony. Missy and Alina rushed over to Jaocb, Hope and Andrea scared. Luke quickly ran of somewhere while Liv stayed with us but I couldn’t care right now.

Vamping him against the crate beside us he grunted sharply. Baring my teeth my hands were wrapped around his throat getting in his face. “You’re a bastard, uncle Joshua. You forced me and my brother to merge and when that didn’t work the way you wanted you came for my daughters!”

“I can’t let Kai merge with Jo. He will win and be the new leader. He will kill us all.” He grunted through my fingertips when I drew some blood from how tightly I held his neck.

Moving one hand to his chest I shoved my hand inside his chest holding his heart. “I may not be able to kill you because I don’t want the twins and Josette dead. But I will do so for this. Tell me, have you ever been skinned alive!”

“I can show you what is happening, Raelyn!” Joshua winced when my fingers tightened a little around his heart.

“And I’m just supposed to believe what you show me is the truth. Since you have such a good track record of telling the truth. I’d rather do it myself.”

Joshua moaned in pain when I ripped a cut open on his hand that was holding onto my forearm with my fangs drawing blood. “Ahhh!”

“Show me, uncle!” Sanguinem desimilus, Sanguinem generis flantes…Tillate ulaz tillate ulaz tillate ulaz. Tillate ulaz tillate ulaz tillate ulaz.” I chanted ripping into my own palm, shoving it over his bleeding hand doing the spell transfer of leader magic that would force me into his mind space.

Kai had taken Jo out into the middle of the park from what I could see when I mind dived to see what he saw. Jo grumbled to her twin. “Let's just get this over with.”

Kai cut his hand open. “So if this is just another setup, I'll rip something out more important than a spleen. Like a tongue or a heart. So, any closing remarks?”

“You're a parasite. You killed the people I loved, you shoved a hunting Knife in my gut. You destroyed my life. Now I'm gonna destroy yours.” Jo holds out her hand for Kai to cut.

Kai jerks it and cuts it. “I guess we'll see. Won't we?”

Jo took his other hand and began chanting. “Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus.”

Jo and Kai then began chanting together. “Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus.Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus.” Until Jo fell backwards and I saw a new image flash through our minds.

Kai and Luke were chanting when I entered his mind again. “Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus. Sanguinem desimilus-- “

Jo cried. “Luke, no!”

“Sanguinem generis fiantus. Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus.” Luke and Kai's eyes both turn white.

Jo sobbed. “Luke! Stop!”

“Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus. Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus.” Kai and Luke fell backwards, unconscious with Jo crying out.

I dived out of my uncle's mind, drawing my other hand from his chest. I growled through tears stumbling away from him. Joshua dropped to his feet gasping for breath while he locked gazes with me after I had dropped his body from my grasp. “What has your brother done?….what have you done Raelyn? Why couldn’t I feel your daughter's magic, yours or your brothers!”

“Because I used your own spell against you. When you wanted your magic back so badly I had my daughters collect up your blood. Then I did an unlinking spell.” I snarled, clutching my hands into fists not caring about the blood on my right hand or the fact that my daughters were huddled behind their uncle Jacob.

Joshua sniffed through tears seeing the blood on his chest bleeding until he placed a hand over it healing the wound. “Kai will kill us all regardless of a spell that keeps your daughters from having to do the merge….”

“Urgh….hell no!” I winced holding a hand over my heart inside my chest being able to feel the leader magic that I had siphoned from my uncle was now disappearing somewhere else.

Joshua holds his hand out to Liv. “We have to leave. Now.”

Jacob threatened him. “She's not going anywhere with you.”

Joshua declared. “Luke is gone.” His gaze shifted to mine with a horrific look feeling what I had minutes ago.

Liv gasped looking between me and her father. “What? Rae, he can’t be serious.”

Clutching my eyes closed, the vision of Jacob collapsing in front of me flashed through my mind. Releasing my hands from fists I shook my head sniffing through tears. “Liv I, I wish it wasn’t true. But Luke…he’s…”

Joshua finished my train of thought, still terrified. “I can feel it. He merged with Kai and Kai won. Luke is gone.”

Liv began crying. “I don't believe you.”

Joshua grabs Liv's arm trying to drag her away from us. “We have to run, Olivia!”

Liv drew her arm back hugging onto Jacob. “I'm not going anywhere with you!” Joshua sent me a silent look running off into the darkness of night. Slowly walking up to Liv she collapsed against my body when I opened my arms just holding the poor girl. I would never wish the fate I had suffered on her. Now we had to accept that Kai was in charge….for now at least.

Comments really appreciated ❤️

If I’m To Blame Chapter 1: Kai

INTRODUCTION

NEXT 

~23 Years Ago~

The sound of Hoseok’s strumming kept echoing through out the halls of the grand palace. It was no wonder why Zeus loved Hoseok more that anything, he brought joy, along with his name. Anyone who heard the name, Hoseok, would instantly  be brought to life and dropped to their knees in gratitude. 

“He just has that way with a lot of people.” Kai remembers Namjoon saying, or should he be more formal, and say Athena. But then again, this is his thoughts, not god or goddess talk. His own time to be alone, his own time to concentrate and not worry about whether he was being too harsh or having to focus on his tasks at hand, or whether mortals were portraying them right.

He had read many of the textbooks at the library brought to life by mortals, and had to say he was nothing at all what the mortals had seen him as. Nether was Namjoon, or his twin brother Seokjin, for that matter.

Him and Seokjin were not females, nor were they blond or skinny and curvy, he chuckles remembering. 

 At first when he had read it he had shaken his head in disbelief, in distaste, in disgust. How could they have gotten that big crucial part so wrong? He then, at that very moment wanted to yell, get up and march up to whoever at written these textbooks and demand they rewrite them, to lay every fact and key point at their feet and at their heads.  

“But that’s what they think you are, and they worship you for it. Don’t make their false hopes go down the drain.” Seokjin had declared, his head turned up, almost as if he had read his mind.

“What do you mean?’ Kai had asked, slamming the book shut, earning a glare from the librarian at the front desk but as her eyes focused on Kai it turned to something more eager. Dusting off her dress she walked to the back of the library, trying her best to remain calm. 

Kai sighed in annoyance, it was that look. Everyone gave him and his brother that look. The look of lust. The look of want. 

It really should’ve made his blood rush, made every fiber of his being burst, but it didn’t. Instead, it made him sick. Made him disgusted with the mortal world. In fact, made him hate it so much, he vowed he would never come down unless he had to do some research or unless it absolutely called for it.

He made his mind up that day, and he couldn’t say he didn’t feel bad, because he didn’t. He never regretted leaving. 

He never had a lover, never wanted one. Even though he was a god of love, he dreaded it, and was spoken many times by his father, and brother by how in the future someone might come along.

Key word. Might.

He remembers the heated argument he got into with his brother about how much of a cheater Seokjin was. And a chuckle had erupted from his brother’s mouth.

“That’s what I am! I have no shame! I am your twin Kai, we are equals.”

Don’t you dare call me what you are! I am not a filthy dick like you.” 

Jin just shrugged at his response. “We are the gods of love, and whether you chose to follow your path is not my decision. I know what I am, and i’m happy with it, maybe you should thin-”

Before he had another word Kai got up and darted out of the room, not wanting to hear another word, it was obvious. He hated this path. He hated being a god, everything about it. But he had no choice, how could he?

“Back to the present day. No thinking about the past now.” A warm soft voice spoke, making Kai shift his attention to the man strumming the guitar. Hoseok’s eyes were focused on Kai’s light blue ones waiting for an answer as he heard another pair of feet walk towards them, but fall short.

“Aye, Jennie.” Hoseok stated smiling that bright beautiful sunny smile, the only smile you could get from the god of the sun. 

“Apollo, you should really-” Kai tried to correct Hoseok, but was stopped short when Jennie reached her hand out to touch Kai’s cheek. 

“Don’t be so formal Kai. It’s alright. We all have real names for a reason, don’t we? Now come on. I like the sound of my real name instead of Persephone.” She smiled, reassuringly.

“Jongin better be treating you alright.” Hoseok stated, stopping his strumming, and for once the seriousness starts to grow between him. His once familiar and bright smile now turning grim as he pressed a soft look of concern.

Kai can feel it, the air tense with it. It is something only he can posses, and he knows what they are feeling, he smells it. Almost like a hummingbird smells sugar water. Like bees finding pollen. He tastes it. 

They’re in love with each other. 

But suddenly the air tastes like stale ocean salt, pricking at his tongue, trying to pry at his throat. Wanting to rip his heart out. 

It is forbidden. 

“What happened?” Kai finally asks, breaking their silence and desperation of unwanted emotion. 

Unlike the textbooks, Apollo, or Hoseok was not a cheater, was not a womanizer, her never prayed upon mortals, he wasn’t like that. He was a shining beam of joy and seeing this tore at everything. 

“Your brother sent Cupid on a mission or something along those lines. I don’t remember which.” Jennie says honestly, her cheeks falling as she sits besides Hoseok, not too close, almost as if she can’t. Like she wants, but something is holding her back.

“And Zeus had held a meeting, just for his brothers, you know.”

Kai nods in acknowledgement, knowing what she’s saying is true, he feels it.

“I don’t know the full details, all I know was that I was out planting my garden and then all of a sudden Cupid shoots his arrow and it hits Jongin.”

Jongin, or Hades as he’s better known for. God of the underworld. He’s a cruel god, or as what Kai knows about him. His eyes trace Jennie’s face seeing as her face begins to whiten and her teeth clatter as she exhales.

“His eyes..” She shivers, almost like a cold breeze came through the window.

“His jet black eyes fell on mine. And he... he fell in love with me. Pulled me on his chariot, and drug me! Literally drug me into the underworld! Only reason I’ve come up is to talk to Zeus.” She wipes her eyes with the back of her hand, so emotional she’s frozen to the bone. 

“Kai. You’ve got to do something! Please!” She pleads, begs. “I’ll do anything!”

[ladyintree]

her jaw clenches when she calls her tai again anyway,  annoyed that she’d ignore what she said—   but there’s also a part of her that’s glad she did,  because it’s such a mikayla response that it makes her heart flutter in a way she hasn’t felt in years.  it feels ridiculous,  and she knows she’s being foolish for getting caught up in such a small, predictable thing,  but it’s comforting in some way,  knowing that she is still that girl.  her eyes roll anyway,  knowing that there’s nothing to say that’s going to actually correct her.  ❝  okay,  kay,  ❞   she mumbles back,  but if it’s an attempt to get her back with an intimate name she used to call her when they were whispering to each other in their hut,  all it really does is sting herself.  

her nose starts to crinkle in annoyance,  but she catches herself,  stopping it before it turns into disgust.  asher doesn’t actually deserve that,  it’s just an lingering response from high school,  and knowing they’re still friends when tai couldn’t manage to do that with her makes her bitter.  especially since what she and asher had wasn’t real,  they didn’t go through the same things she and tai went through,  and they have to mean more to each other than her and asher do.  right?  ❝  oh.  surprised we haven’t run into each other sooner, then,  ❞   she says,  nearly through gritted teeth,  the idea of that making her feel sick.  she shifts uncomfortably and takes a deep breath,  trying to collect her composure.

of all the times she imagined what it would be like to catch up with mikayla again,  this just doesn’t feel right,  because it feels like they’re two acquaintances who went to school together many years ago and don’t actually care about what’s going on in the other’s lives—  not two people who survived something they shouldn’t have,  falling deeply in love in the process,  vowing to one another that they would always be there for the other,   finally reuniting after years apart   (  longer than they ever were together— a fact not lost on taissa.  )  ❝  oh.  it’s going great.  i’ve been at my current firm for a few months now.  i’ve been working on a big case all weekend—  had to take a break to make it here…   ❞    

she trails off,  because she could keep going on,  telling mikayla everything she would have told her if they were still in contact,  but she can’t.  as much as she would normally love talking about herself and her successes,   she can’t ignore the elephant in the room any longer.   ❝  — you’re playing soccer?  ❞   she blurts out, suddenly dropping the kind demeanor and back into a familiar style of banter that she learned with mikayla a decade ago.  ❝  what’s that about?  ❞   she asks,  quickly hearing the way her words sound and realizing it may come off rude.  she takes another drink,  a bigger one this time,  then clarifies.  ❝  i just thought you’d be glad to never see a soccer ball again.   and now you’re one of the biggest soccer stars in the game.  ❞   whether that’s true or not —-  it’s true for tai.  she’s all she pays attention to. her eyes widen, prompting an explanation, as if she's been owed it for years.

of fucking course she has nothing to say to that. it doesn't surprise mikayla, but it still irritates her, her jaw clenching for a moment. she knows it's a waste of breath to try to make tai actually acknowledge what she did to mikayla, so she doesn't bother. instead, she only lets out an amused snort at the correction tai makes, because mikayla has absolutely no intention of respecting it. “ okay, tai, ” she says, the corner of her mouth curving into a smirk, because while she is trying to be civil, she's still mikayla desousa.

she's not actually interested in small talk at all, but just like she told travis over text, she doesn't know what to say to her. there's so much she has to say, things that have been bottled up since the last time they saw each other, but it's been so long that none of it feels important anymore. maybe that's not true, because it would feel relieving to let some of it out, but she can't let herself go there anyway. “ oh, yeah. we met through asher. we had a bunch of shit in common when i first— ” got out of prison, but she doesn't want to bring that up, not just because that was the last time she and tai saw each other, but because she's done the best she can avoiding that subject with everyone, embarrassed by her time spent there, how much of her life that was wasted.

mikayla clears her throat, wanting to change the subject, partly because she doesn't have much more to say about her friendship with patience in the first place. “ so how is it going? the whole, you know, lawyer thing? ” the question is genuine, because nat doesn't talk about tai much, although mikayla knows that's her own fault, given all the times she'd snapped at her for even bringing up her name— and she's curious, because while she's convinced herself she'd fallen out of love with tai years ago, it's impossible for her to not care after everything they went through together, despite how horribly it ended.

'someday maybe' | t.h.

tom holland x singer!reader

warnings: one swear? fluff and angst? kisses

summary: you're so close to finishing your second album when your manager pushes the deadline, your ex tom helps you write the final track.

{listen to someday by michael bublè and meghan trainor (if you want)}

wc: 2.1k

"Someday maybe when we're old and grey,"

"Yes, yes. I know. You are not being a very helpful manager right now, Noelle." you spoke to your phone as you paced around the living room, "Okay. I'll get working on it. Bye." you huffed and threw your phone against the couch.

Your album was due to be released in two months and you needed one more song to tie it all together. Your manager, Noelle, was pushing you to finish the song so she could start the promo of the album.

You were incredibly grateful for your career, but the pressure weighed down on you everyday. Never ending.

With a final groan you picked up your acoustic guitar and sat on the couch. Picking at the strings, trying to find a melody. You hit record on your voice memo app before strumming away.

"Someday maybe when we're old and grey, we can be in love once more. 'Till then I won't give my love away. Darling, I'm forever only yours." you sang softly.

You and Tom had a joyous relationship. A love that only ever existed in movies and fairytales. The type of love story that gets told for generations and onwards. But alas, all good things must come to an end.

Your breakup was calm, serene and clean. A mutual agreement as if your whole relationship had been a business deal. There were no loose ends or jealous passive aggressive remarks made. Just maturity and respect for one another.

Your pinky still held the promise ring he gave you. A token of appreciation. A reassurance that he'd always be there for you. And he lived up to his word.

Tom walked in and sat across from you, startling you, "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you. Whatcha writing?"

"Need a final song for the album. Sorry for showing up unannounced. I just get better inspiration here, with all the memories, you know?" you timidly looked back down at the guitar.

Tom nodded, "No need to apologize. We gave you a spare key for a reason."

You couldn't stop yourself from spilling the words from your lips, "That was when we were together."

You could hear the awkward silence start to fill the room before he spoke again, "Still our best friend, Y/L/N."

The pain that crossed your features was instant. Being addressed by your last name felt like a stab to the gut. Especially by Tom.

You nodded before playing again, "Can I help you write it?" Tom asked as he sat next to you.

"Dancer, gymnast, actor and now songwriter. How many hidden talents have you got, Holland?" you teased making him laugh.

He shrugged with a smile, "It's kind of like writing a poem, right?"

You pondered on his analogy before slowly nodding, "Yeah, it kind of is. Give it a go."

You began playing the melody and he listened intently for a few moments before singing, "I love seeing you happy. I miss seeing that smile. It's been such a long time. A– Nope. Nope. Nuh-uh. I can't do it." he shook his head aggressively with a loud laugh as you stopped playing.

"No!" you quickly protested, "That was amazing! Don't leave me hanging, c'mon." you nudged him with your shoulder before strumming again.

"Alright, alright." he ran his hands down his face, "And although I don't have you, I know now that I need to?" he paused and gave you a skeptical look before you nodded again, "Somehow make you mine. Mmm."

"Oh, okay. He's giving ad-libs and all. Get it." you nodded as he laughed.

You were so engrossed on Tom actually writing a song with you that you didn't focus on the lyrics he was singing.

"And I won't lie, it's hard seeing you with him 'cause I know he can't hold you like I can." his mood seemed to drop by a thousand as the words left his lips.

"When can we meet this boyfriend of yours?" Harrison flicked your forehead from across the booth.

You, Harrison, Tom and Tuwaine were all sat in the local pub. Pints of beer in front of each of you as loud music and chatting filled your ears.

You shrugged, "He's picking me up, so possibly tonight."

Tuwaine's eyes lit up, "Fina-fucking-lly. I swear you've kept him hidden for years."

"We've only been together for three months, T." you laughed lightly with the group of boys.

And they met him. It wasn't the smoothest of introductions, but an introduction nonetheless.

"Boys, this is Kai. Kai this is Tom, Harrison and Tuwaine." you gestured to the parties as they all shook hands and gave polite greetings.

"So," Harrison started, "What do you do for a living, Kai?"

Kai cleared his throat, "I'm a Senior Resident at Kingston Hospital. Working towards being Head of Pediatrics."

Tuwaine and Harrison both nodded, impressed by his profession. Tom's face remained expressionless as he stared at Kai with cold eyes.

"Do you have any siblings, Kai? Any psycho ex-girlfriends? Any wacky cousins?" Tuwaine joked making everyone laugh. "'Cause Y/N has a lot of wacky cousins."

"We could be in love once more,"

"Hey!" you gasped with a laugh.

Kai pulled you closer to him as he laughed, "No, no wacky cousins or psycho exes, but I do have an older sister and a younger brother."

This game of ask and answer continued on for a few more minutes. Tom didn't say a word, just sipped his beer and burned holes into Kai with his eyes. If looks could kill, Kai would be six feet under.

Kai was a sweetheart, but you two ended ages ago. His work got too much for him and your job had you touring and travelling every second.

You picked up after him with the chorus before diving into your own verse, "I remember that love song. I sang every word wrong, but you didn't mind, no, no."

"I love the things you do. It's how you do the things you love. Well it's not a love song, not a love song. I love the way you get me, but correct me if I'm wrong. This is not a love song, not a love song!" Tom belted the 'Austin & Ally' song from the top of his lungs.

"Your turn!" he pointed the pretend mic in your direction.

You laughed, not knowing any of the lyrics, but still wanting to participate, "I love that you not a licket! And you own a watch and chicken! We got a car!" you sang with full confidence, making Tom burst with laughter.

"Yes! Sing it, darling!" he cheered you on, "Absolutely butchering the lyrics, but sing it!"

"Being stuck inside a car. If it's not a doe, don't kiss it! I can't hear a missing, when there's a shoe inside the ceiling! If you really need to fart, you can lunch on a pig farm! Love song! Love song!" you couldn't even hear the song in the background, your voice overpowering it.

Tom was hunched over from laughing before he came back up and planted a soft kiss on your lips, "You are one hundred percent ridiculous and I love it."

You brought yourself back to reality and sang again, "And I'll admit that I miss you, but only if you do. 'Cause you know that I'm shy. And I can't lie, it's hard seeing you with her. 'Cause I know she can't love you like I can."

Tom's eyes met yours as the words fell from your gentle lips. His mouth was slightly agape as you continued to strum.

"You are absolute rubbish. Imagine coming in eighth. Embarassing." you laughed as you crushed Harrison in a game of Mario Kart.

He shoved you with his shoulder, "You're such a try ha—"

"—It's always the same, Tom! How can I trust you? You follow gorgeous models on Instagram and expect me to trust you?" Nadia's voice cut Harrison's words off.

You looked at him with wide eyes, his expression matching yours.

"Those women that I follow have been my friends for ages. Who I follow on a stupid app shouldn't effect how much you trust me."

You paused the game, cutting off the theme song, "How long have they been fighting like this?"

Harrison sighed, a long groan following, "A few weeks. I think it started when she saw that he liked your Instagram picture?"

You stammered, "M-my post? She got mad about my post?"

Harrison nodded before opening his mouth to speak, but Nadia cut him off again, "And she practically lives here! How do you think it makes me feel seeing my boyfriend play house with a superstar?!"

"Aw, a superstar? I'm flattered." you joked making Harrison stifle a laugh.

"I've been friends with Y/N since we were in nappies!"

"I can't be with you if you're going to be friends with her."

Your laughter abruptly died at her words. Harrison stiffened beside you.

"Y-you can't be serious. You can't make me choose between you and her."

"Why? Because you're gonna choose her?" you could hear her voice crack.

"I-" Tom couldn't make out a sentence for a few moments, "Yeah. I'm gonna choose her."

Your heart fell from it's place, stopping at your feet. Harrison brought a hand to his mouth, "H-he chose you. He chose you!" he whisper shouted before you shushed him.

"Of course. I don't know why I expected anything different. I think I'll be going now." Nadia's footsteps approached the living room.

You and Harrison scrambled to look as if you weren't eavesdropping on their argument/breakup.

Tom followed close behind her, "I'm sorry. I really am."

She nodded, hand on the doorknob, "I know. Goodbye." she stepped out of the house, slamming the front door shut in the process.

Tom let out a breath of relief before turning to you and Harrison who were staring at the Mario Kart home screen with the infamous tune playing.

"You guys are terrible actors."

"'Till then I won't give my love away,"

"I'm forever only yours." the both of you finished the song in unison.

There was a moment of silence before you reached over and ended the voice recording.

"T-that was really good. You can change what I wrote, I know it isn't as good as anything you would've written, but I tried. And it was actually pretty fun and I never knew how difficult songwriting was un—"

"—Kiss me." you cut Tom's rambling off.

His eyes grew wide, "W-wha—"

"—Kiss me, Holland."

He swallowed, a small smile stretching on his lips, "Thank God."

And with that, he leaned in and pressed his lips to yours. Interlocking like missing puzzle pieces. Moving in sync like waves in the ocean. Soft and sweet, but filled with passion. You could feel his smile against your lips causing you to grin.

His hand came up to pull your face closer into his. Caressing your jaw, fingertips playing with the hairs on the back of your neck. His other hand holding your hip in a tight grip. Pressing the pads of his digits into your flesh, scared that you might slip through his fingers again.

One of your hands was pressed flat against his chest. Steadying yourself, the heat of the kiss threatening to throw you off of your axis. Your other hand tangled itself into Tom's curls. Pulling and tugging lightly causing small groans to fall from Tom's lips. Your fingernails scratching his scalp. Pulling him impossibly closer to you.

"I want my ten pounds." Harrison's voice snapped you and Tom out of your make out session.

Him and Tuwaine stood in the doorway, shit eating grins on their faces.

Tuwaine laughed before placing a ten pound note in Harrison's palm, "You guys couldn't have waited until next month to get back together?"

"You two were betting on us?" Tom laughed at his mates who nodded.

You shook your head with a smile, "Absolute idiots, all of you."

Harrison let out a happy sigh and pocketed the money, "Today was a good day. Had a sick ass shoot. Got ten pounds. And my best friends are finally together again." he waltzed into the kitchen with Tuwaine, leaving you and Tom alone again.

Tom's shy expression met your gleeful one before he spoke, "Someday came a lot sooner than expected, huh?" he chuckled.

You nodded with a laugh, "It certainly did and I am not complaining."

He sent you a wide grin before cupping your face and connecting your lips to his again.

"Darling, I'm forever only yours."

[lolawassad]

Hey I know this is a very specific and it’s totally okay if you don’t or can’t write it, but I was wondering if you can write a one shot where the reader is Octavia in the scene in episode 10 season 2 where she fights the grounder (yk the scene where she tries to prove herself to indra?) but the reader actually wins. Would it be possible to make it a john murphy x reader as well? Like he sees her fighting the grounder and is like god dayyum or sum?

p.s I know this is an exceptionally long request and It’s absolutely understand or if you aren’t willing to write this request!! :)) (btw i’m the person who requested the previous one shot) :))

Awesome awesome!!

Let me write this for u!! <3

Tw : sexism, violence, cussing, mention of NSFW

Im also very awesomely going to make y/n speak another language! I hope you like that little touch

Also i just realised i misunderstood? Reader is fighting the grounder not the grounder octavia is fighting, if you want me to write one differently dont be shy to request one! Ill just write it as reader fighting a grounder and still make it poly? Idk if u'll like it

Octavia x reader x murphy

I walk out of arkadia and notice the grounder have arrived, i see murphy being pushed and walk over, kane is talking to both of them "whats going on" i whisper to octavia who is also standing there "the one thats not skai kru is mad because murphy was there when his village got killed by finn" she whispers to me before putting her arm around my shoulder "kane wants him to say sorry" she scoffs softly.

I giggle which makes murphy's head shoot up to me, the grounder also looks with a smirk "Heya pretty, chit do yu say yu en ai go don some fun" he says before standing before me, he goes to brush a piece of my hair behind my ear but i softly push octavia's hand off of me and stand chest to chest with him, making octavia and murphy scoff loudly.

I smile at him "rot op klojo" i say my innocent smile never leaving my face, his smirk grows thinking i said something nice in return "beautiful girl beautiful language" he says as his hand goes to cup my cheek. Its then i grab his fingers and press "it means fuck off douchebag" i spit before headbutting him "you dont just go up to girls and ask them for fun and then try to touch her hair, motherfucker" i can see kane glare at me from the corner of my eye but indra stops him before he can walk up.

The grounders hand reaches for his forehead and he glares at me "pretty girls like you should just shut their mouths and look pretty, only good for their holes" he gets up and pulls his fist back to punch me with his right hand.

I duck, then throw a punch with my left hand which he blocks with his dominant hand and i giggle before my right hand swings to his face, he doesnt expect this move and it breaks his nose.

He stumbles back a bit before running to me and his hands wrap around my throat "kinky" i say before kicking him in his balls which makes him drop his hands, and then i knee him in his broken nose.

Hes now laying on the ground and i straddle him "do you give up?" I yell into his face, he shakes his head and i punch him "how about now?" And he nods his head.

Then i hear clapping, its indra "impressive" she says offering me her hand "and you have never fought?" She asks

I shake my head "i watched karate kid and cobra kai" she looks confused "those are weird names for people" she says, i go to correct her but arms are thrown around me "y/n that was so cool?!?" Octavia yells before kissing me on the cheek.

Murphy scoffs loudly making us turn to him and he walks up to us "you missed dumbass" he sneers at octavia before kissing me on my lips "that was so fucking hot, i wouldve beaten him up myself but you had that shit handled" he then turns to octavia and kisses her forehead before walking away.

Octavia yells after him "you missed dumbass" before kissing him, its then i notice my foot hurts, i look down and notice a knive in it "hey thats nice and all but im gonNA DIE" i yell the last part out.

They separate and rush over to me, they follow my gaze and notice the knive "princess that wont kill you" murphy says "idiot" he mutters softly before lifting me up and bringing me to abby.

Octavia is quick to follow "so you promise she wont die right?" She asks murphy, he rolls his eyes "god did i really fall for two dumbasses?" He asks quietly, i scoff "so mean, no more kisses ever" i say which makes his head turn super fast to face me "fuck did you say?" He sneers "you cant take away my kisses i just got them" he says before kissing my jaw.

"no no i think y/n is onto something, also can you stop for a second" octavia says when we reach the ark, murphy stops and looks at her, eyebrow raised.

She smirks and sticks her tongue out, then pulls it back in and kisses me on the lips "oh no wait you cant do that to him, your lips are amazing y/n"

Abby clears her throat "if ur uh.. Done kissing my daughter i would like to ask whats going on?"

Murphy glares at her "shes injured. Clearly. And since clarke isnt here you need to help her, you cant refuse cause tavia and me will murder you if you keep y/n in pain" murphy spits out to my mother who always preffered clarke over me.

"I would never do that to her" abby says before leading us to a hospital bed, she starts taking care of the knive and the wound.

When shes done i turn to murphy and octavia "did good right?" I ask and their eyes soften, they nod their heads yeah "so where are my KISSES" i yell out the last part for dramatic effect.

They look at eachother and roll their eyes, then walk up to me and prep my face with kisses, then octavia speaks up "i want you both to be mine" she says, murphy then also speaks up "i want you both to be mine too" then they look at me.

I slowly get up a say "i need to think about it"

They both scoff "yeah right, just admit it you want to be ours so bad, we know how you look at us" octavia says and murphy nods his head.

"Your right i wanna be yours" i say while softly diving into their arms "but im the dom" i say softly, that makes them both scoff and look at me "dont challange us butterfly" octavia says to that murphy adds "you are lucky you are cute princess"

Luckily for everyone involved abby left right after fixing my foot.

That night y/n octavia and murphy share a room in arkadia, bellamy doesnt like the relationship.

But lincoln? Well he wants to join

Part 2??

Buy me a coffee?

Loopy

Pairing: Johnny Silverhand x female!V

Summary: V is a little loopy from her anesthesia, and Johnny finds it amusing.

Words: 1.7k

A/N: Requested by @thescorpionrodriguez. Hope you enjoy!

“Come on, V, wake the fuck up already.”

Silence. Johnny swears he could hear a pin drop.

V’s body remains lax on the bed; her eyes wound shut as if she were sound asleep. Slow and rhythmic, the rise and fall of her chest were calming, lulling. For once, she looks to be in peace, a rare moment for those who live and breathe in Night City.

She had been lucky. Extremely lucky. Two or three millimeters more to the right and the bullet that pierced her abdomen would have hit an organ. By some miracle, it missed anything vital and had exited out cleanly. It did fucking hurt judging by the sound of her agonizing groans, but here she was—still kicking, still alive.

And Johnny’s relieved that she was. They may not get along at times, but he genuinely cares for V. Hell, he would even consider her a good friend. She could call him a snarky asshole as often as she wants (and she does), yet he knows that deep down, she too has grown a soft spot for the rocker boy.

It’s been hours since the mission that went awry, and Johnny was getting pretty antsy. Vik had to put V down while he worked on repairing her cyberware. Nothing major, though the anesthesia should have certainly worn out by now. Much to Silverhand’s surprise, the ripperdoc wasn’t acting all too worried about it. He thinks V could use the sleep since he’s aware of how little she’s been getting.

Unfortunately, Johnny was all but a patient man. Bored out of his damn mind, he’s tired of roaming around the operating room, waiting and waiting for V to regain consciousness. Johnny’s more than ready to leave, perhaps grab a smoke afterward. He hasn’t gone this long without one lately, and he can’t enjoy one if V’s lying here, knocked out cold.

Nearly the rest of the day flies by, and the sun begins to set. That’s when he feels it; a spark—a familiar jolt of electricity emitting in the depths of V’s mind. Johnny manifests by her bedside, watching as her body finally stirs awake. That’s my girl, he silently praises, a flicker of a smile playing on his lips. V’s eyes flutter open, taking a minute to survey her surroundings before her line of sight lands on him.

“Well, look who decided to come back to life,” Johnny quips, leaning closer. “You doing alright, kid?”

V doesn’t respond. Rather, she bursts into a fit of giggles out of nowhere.

What the fuck?

Bewildered, Johnny glances everywhere but notices nothing amusing of the sort. “Care to share what you find so funny?”

“You’re too good looking to be my nurse,” V drawls, no doubt experiencing side effects from the anesthesia.

“I’m no nurse, princess, but thanks,” he corrects her. Then, it dawns on him. “You recognize me?”

She blinks at him blearily, the gears in her head turning as she tries to put a name to the face. “I dunno, should I?”

“It’s Johnny. Johnny Silverhand. Ring any bells?”

Again, V chuckles, a light-hearted tone that Johnny rarely hears, but they were sweet music to his ears when he does.

“Nope, zero bells. Are you like my husband or something?”

Johnny’s eyes widen. “Husband? Oh, no, honey. We ain’t even gone on a date yet. I’d say, think of us as partners-in-crime.”

“Wait!” V blurts out, gasping. “I remember you. You’re from that band—Samurai, right? God, I used to listen to your songs a lot as a kid.”

“Huh, you told me you’d never heard of Samurai,” Johnny recalls, slightly entertained at this point. “Didn’t peg you as a fangirl, V. I’m flattered.”

“So, can I… y’know, get your autograph?”

Just before Johnny could continue playing around with a loopy V, Viktor strolls in with Misty in tow, both delighted to find the merc out of her prolonged slumber. He lingers by the foot of her bed as Vik explains to V what happened, but she doesn’t seem to be processing it. She stares at him, dazed, and Johnny wonders when she’ll be back to normal.

“The effects should go away in a few hours,” Vik informs Misty once he’s examined V. She’s healing nicely and isn’t complaining much, yet that could be because of all the painkillers she was jacked with. “I’d say watch over V until she can stand on her own two feet without tripping. Other than that, she’s good to go.”

“Where are we going?” a clueless V asks, looking back and forth between the two. “Is Johnny coming?”

Misty furrows her brow at her. “Johnny?”

“Yeah, mister sex on legs over there,” she points eagerly, and Johnny smirks at that. “I’m not done talking to him yet.”

Vik shakes his head before reminding Misty of the engram residing within V’s psyche. “Oh, yeah. Silverhand. Uh, I guess he could come, too. Don’t really have much of a choice there, doll.”

The walk back to V’s apartment was a journey in itself. Lucky for her, she was pushed in a wheelchair throughout it all as Johnny stays visible for her benefit. They reached the door just before the skies turned completely dark, the warmth and comfort of the room being somewhat familiar to V.

Misty carefully moves her onto the bed, propping her up with pillows behind her back before smoothing out the blankets covering her legs. Johnny observes from a distance, quiet in his pondering. He’s never seen V this vulnerable before. She’s always been incredibly independent, not to mention stubborn as hell. She won’t accept anyone’s help unless it’s dire, and even then, she’s reluctant to do so.

“You must be starving,” Misty comments once V is settled. “How about I get you somethin’ to eat downstairs. Better food than what’s here, if there’s any. Hang tight for a bit, ’kay?”

Nodding, Misty then heads out of the room, the front door sliding shut when she’s gone, leaving V in the presence of Johnny yet once again. He glitches to sit by the edge of the mattress as V stares at him incredulously. Her eyes shone what he could best describe as innocence; she truly has no clue of what they’ve gone through together in the previous months.

“Can you sing me a song?”

Johnny narrows his gaze, a small chuckle rumbling in his throat at her deliriousness. “I don’t do concerts anymore.”

“Oh, come on!” V pouts, almost child-like in her ways. “Pleeease?”

“No,” he refuses sternly before an idea comes to mind. “How about you sing to me? Said you were a fan. Give me a performance, and maybe I’ll consider it.”

V does not hesitate. On cue, she starts to serenade Johnny with one of Samurai’s greatest hits, going as far as imitating the gruffness of his voice. Off-beat and lyrics garbled, V belts out the tune confidently and loud enough that her irritated neighbors began banging on the wall, yelling at her to quit it.

She ignores them, of course.

Meanwhile, Johnny’s having the time of his life. It was quite endearing to him, although embarrassing for V if she later finds out about this. Yet, he doesn’t stop her. He encourages her even further by singing along, not giving a fuck in the world.

At the end of the song, Johnny laughs heartily along with V, who had crawled closer to him. Their eyes meet for a moment that seems to last longer than it actually did. His mouth quirks up in a smile, the kind of smile that was reserved for her and her alone.

“You’re pretty cool, Silverhand,” V mumbles sleepily, touching the cold surface of his chrome arm. Sighing, Johnny guides her drowsy self back under the covers, certain that she would crash in the next minute or two. “I think you should take me on a date. We’d be a hell of a couple together.”

“I think you’re going to regret everything that’s happened just now when you wake up in the morning,” he returns, and there was a slight pang in his chest.

V only hums in response, and he doubts he had even heard what he last said. It doesn’t matter, however. Johnny was sure she wouldn’t want to bring this up again.

---

“Fuck…” V exhales groggily, her blinking eyes wincing at the bright sunlight flooding into the room. She feels pain all over, her head throbbing immensely as she tries to gather memories of the day prior. It comes back in bits and pieces until suddenly, she remembers everything.

Everything.

“Good morning, princess,” Johnny greets after materializing before her, a cocky smirk plastered on his face. “How ya feelin’? Still loopy or need a little more refreshing from ‘mister sex on legs?’”

V’s reflexes are quick; Johnny doesn’t even register the pillow being hurled at him at first. He only realizes it when the empty glass bottles on the center table falls to the floor, shattering and making a mess.

“You’re lucky you’re just a hologram, right now,” V muttered as she stands up unsteadily.

Johnny holds his hands up. “You were the one who said it.”

Rolling her eyes, V reaches for the painkillers Misty left on the side. “Don’t remind me.”

“Alright, but at least let me tell you that you’ve got a shitty voice.”

“That’s why I don’t do karaoke,” V snorts before swallowing the pills and heading to the couch. “So, what do you think?”

“What do you mean?” Johnny questions.

“You, me, dinner?”

V waits for his reaction, smiling coyly at his confusion. When Johnny finally understands what she was referring to, he almost couldn’t believe it.

“Wait, are you fucking serious?”

She lets out a chortle. “Yeah, I’m serious. Don’t get me wrong, I’m mortified about last night, and I’m never going to let Vik knock me out with that stuff again. But hey, the truth came out. Might not have remembered you, but even while high as fuck, I knew I liked you.”

Briefly, they traded a look of longing, acknowledging at last this deeper connection they’ve felt for a while. It was much more than sharing a body, a mind. Something more profound than what Johnny and V have experienced before in their lives.

And though it was all entirely new to them, they both wanted it. They both wanted each other.

“Better get to it then,” Johnny flashes a grin, mirroring V’s own. “Wanna start with breakfast? Bet you’re hungry after skipping what Misty brought you, samurai.”

���Never going to live that one down, are ya?”

Shooting her a cheeky wink, Johnny throws on his stylish pair of aviators with ease.

“You bet your ass I’m not.”

Lucas (mafia leader) x Reader (female)

A/N: I had this thought for days now and was like, ya know, just let it out. This is my first NCT (?) WayV (?) fanfic? Scenario? Yea XD For those who have read my past fanfics/scenarios, you know how horrible I am in explaining XD but yea, essentially I just imagine that you, the reader are a uni student whilst Lucas is part of the NCT mafia, "leader" of the WayV unit (I know Kun is technically the leader, but just for the sake of the story), okie, leggo

Sighing in defeat, you gathered all your books, stationery and some clothing before sneakily going out of your dorm and to your boyfriend's apartment since he gave you the spare key, saying that it was for emergencies or whenever you wanted to come over.

After texting Lucas that you were heading to his apartment, you went to grab a cab and head there. Truth be told, you never really went there and only got the address from Lucas. Which is why upon arriving, your jaw nearly dropped when you saw his apartment; even making sure whether the address Lucas gave last time was the exact one and making a mental note to yourself to look up things beforehand.

Upon arriving, you felt like you just came from the countryside to the big city. You went to the front desk and inform them who were you looking for, handing in your ID card and was immediately directed to the elevator, one of the securities pressing the highest floor of the elevator and left you in the elevator on your own.

Just when you thought that it couldn't get any fancier, the minute you stepped out of the elevator, you were amazed at the decor and the fact that there was only one door made it even grander. Taking out the key Lucas gave you, you were actually hoping that it wasn't the correct one and Lucas just sent you the wrong address but as it turns out, the key fits and you took a deep breath, walking into the room.

But on Lucas' side, he actually didn't receive your text message. So, the second he heard someone coming into his suite, he was already reaching for his gun because he wasn't really expecting anyone to come. But as soon as he heard your signature nervous voice, he felt relieved but worried at the same time. Did something happen to you?

"Lucas? Ar-are you in here? The people at the front desk just directed me here. I uh sent you a text" you called out

"I'm here sweetheart. Now, what brings you here at this late hour? Is there anyone I should be concern with?" Lucas stated, coming out of his bedroom

"Huh? Wow. I mean, no. Sorry, it's my first time here. I uh, I was just wondering if I could stay for the night. The dorm was so loud that I couldn't study nor sleep" you admitted, trying to avoid eye contact with Lucas, thinking that it was a lame excuse to come over

"Of course you can. I gave you the spare key for a reason, didn't I? Uh, sorry about the mess and all. I didn't expect you to come. I didn't receive any messages. C'mere sweetheart" Lucas mentioned, giving a hand motion for you to go to him

"Really?! I could've sworn I...(looks at your phone) I forgot to click the send button" you sighed, hitting your head as you went over to Lucas

"Hey, hey. Don't do that. You'll hurt your brain even more. No harm sweetheart. My place is yours. Come. I'll order some McDonalds as well if you'd like" Lucas cooed, bringing you into his office

"Damn. Two desktops?! Bro and this processor is the latest one?!" you commented, placing your bag down and immediately inspecting his desk

"Sometimes I play some games with the guys. Feel free to use it if you'd like. Lemon tea or coke?" Lucas asked, scrolling through his phone

"Lemon tea, no ice. It's worth the money better. Are you sure I can study here? Am I not disturbing you?" you questioned, sitting on the chair

"Not at all, sweetheart. It's almost 10pm. I'm done with work. You're free to use my computer. I've ordered your favourites already. I'm going to go for a shower for a bit. Feel free to turn on some music as well, alright? And please don't study for too long. I worry you'll hurt that gorgeous head of yours" Lucas chuckled, kissing your forehead before leaving you in his study room

After settling, putting on some music with your account (which was already in Lucas' Spotify), you grabbed your books and stationery then started to study for your finals. In the midst of it, you heard Lucas coming in with McDonalds; wearing a plain T-shirt and sweats.

Because there was only one chair in his office, with your consent, Lucas placed you on his lap as he was feeding you McDonalds whilst scrolling through his phone, occasionally leaning his head on your back as he does so.

After finishing the food, Lucas was about to get up and cleaned up so you could study a bit better since he knew you didn't like a messy space but when he felt your head slightly leaning backwards, he questioned whether you were already sleepy or not.

"What's wrong love? Tired?" Lucas murmured as he placed his chin on your neck, wrapping his long arms around your waist

"Huh? Oh? Sorry. I didn't realise I was leaning back" you yawned, scrubbing your eyes but Lucas stopped the motion

"Don't. Your eyes will get irritated. I think it's about time you sleep, hmm?" Lucas commented, tucking a hair behind your ear as he kissed the side of your cheek

"Hmm. I guess so" you sighed, leaning onto Lucas's chest

"Alright princess, let me just shut everything off. Kay, let's go to bed" Lucas chuckled, carrying your small figure in his arms and tucking you into his bed before going to the other side of the bed

The next morning, you were woken up by the sound of your phone's alarm but just stayed in bed whilst scrolling through your phone until you realised that you had exams that starts in 45 minutes. Immediately, you got up and went back to the study room to grab your clothes, without even calling out to Lucas and head to the bathroom to get ready.

After getting ready, you were so ready to rush out the door and call a cab until Lucas finally called out to you. Once you told him that your exam was starting in literally 15 minutes, he just chuckled and told you that he'll drive you there; which was a first since all this time, you guys just have dates near your campus since your dorm had strict rules and Lucas would just walk you there (A/N: how you guys met is a story for next time, lol).

After packing some food for you, Lucas grabbed his car keys in one hand and your hand in the other, making your way down to the parking lot where your jaw also almost dropped again since the car Lucas owned is probably enough to pay your whole entire undergraduate life.

Whilst in the car, Lucas told you to eat so you wouldn't be hungry during the exam. He also mentioned that he'll come to pick you up to celebrate finishing your finals since he knew that you've been stressing over this last final for weeks; saying that he'll treat you out.

Once you've arrived, Lucas pulled you to give a slight peck on your forehead, encouraging you to do well in your finals and that he'll see you right after you're done. You smiled and thank him. Getting out of the car, you saw nearly the whole campus that was by the front gate staring at you; even your friends were stunned before rushing to you, managing to get a glimpse at Lucas who just smiled before leaving.

"Gurl!! I knew your boyfriend was hot, but well off? You definitely hit the jackpot!!" one of your friends blurted

"Sis!! Can we save the conversation for later? I need to get this exam over with first" you bargained

"Okay, okay, good luck with your exams!! I'll see you later!!" your friend exclaimed as you went to your exam hall

Thankfully, the exam wasn't as hard as you'd thought. You didn't know if it's because Lucas actually helped you study since he actually knew the subject or something else but you were glad to finally be done with it. After the exam, you got a text from Lucas, saying that he'll be running a bit late which you didn't mind. Your friend, who was also done with her exam, came to your exam hall and didn't spare a second before plastering with all sorts of questions.

Asking you where you've been the night before since you weren't at your dorm; and when you told her you were at Lucas' place, she squealed, asking if you guys did anything spicy which you immediately cut her off, saying that you just went there to study because the rooms near yours were getting too loud and rowdy.

You also explained how kind and caring Lucas was; despite the amount of work he had to deal with, he was still soft when it came to you. Ordering your favourites from McDonalds, letting you just barged into his apartment whenever and even using whatever he had; hearing this, all your friend can do was just squeal, saying that Lucas was the perfect boyfriend.

And right on cue, Lucas texted you saying that he's almost at the front gate. Your friend saw your smile and teased the heck out of you before letting you off just because she supported your relationship; knowing that you had a rough past and it was nice to finally see you happy with someone; someone that genuinely cares about you.

But of course, life ain't that easy. Because just as you were skidding along the halls to the front gate, you accidentally bumped into someone and dropped your phone. You immediately apologised about to get your phone when the person you bumped into stepped on your phone. Looking up, you met with the campus' miss popular with her boyfriend.

"Can you please let go. I really have to go now" you sighed, looking up

"Can't your boyfriend get you another one? Oh wait, is he the one that you're meeting? Honestly, I dunno what he sees in you. Oh wait, I think I do. He's probably just in it to play around or probably did it because of a bet" the girl scoffed but you were just not having it and shoved her feet off, nearly falling if it weren't for her boyfriend being there

After getting your phone, you were about to make a run for it before she grabbed your hair, pulling you back and making you fall; calling you names and all. When you got back to your feet again, she nearly slapped you when you got ahold of her hand about to push her back when her boyfriend came and took your hand, twisting it behind your back, allowing an opening for her to get a good punch out of you.

It felt like forever since you were trapped between the two "bullies" of your campus and for Lucas, it meant something was wrong. It's been almost 30 minutes since he arrived and called you but there was no answer at all. Frustrated, he called Winwin to track your phone as he went in to find you; thinking that you were held captive by one of NCT's enemy.

When he did see you, he felt a slight relief that it wasn't one of NCT's enemy but he was still very much pissed at the sight. When the girl was about to hit you for like the 15th time, Lucas grabbed ahold of her arm, throwing her to the floor before looking at her boyfriend who turns out to be one of the bartenders in one of NCT's bars.

"B-boss..." the man stammered, letting go of your hand as you almost dropped if it weren't for Lucas catching you

"You better come to work tonight. We'll have a lil discussion about respect? Hmm? Make sure everyone comes. Or I'll just have to report Taeyong about this" Lucas growled, making the man cowered in fear

"N-no sir. Everyone will come tonight" the man stuttered as Lucas stood up, holding your figure firmly in his arms

"Good. Wouldn't want to make a big deal out of this hmm? Oh, and do bring your girlfriend while I take mine to treat the wounds you both caused" Lucas scoffed, bringing you out of the campus

Once you've reached his car, he gently placed you and put your seatbelt on before going to the driver's seat. Once he was in, he called Kun, telling him what happened and that he's planning to have a meeting later tonight in the bar. After the call, Lucas took your hand in his, stroking your knuckles as he drove back to his apartment.

Upon arriving, he helped you get out of the car and into his apartment. Inside, he brought you to his room before going to the bathroom and grabbing some medicine for your bruised face and cut on the lips. Lucas treated all your wounds as gently as possible, worrying that he might accidentally hurt you, treating you as if you're as fragile as an egg.

After he was done, he threw all the cotton buds and ordered some food for the both of you; knowing that you will tell him whenever you're ready. He put his hoodie onto you before bringing you to the living room to cuddle and just watch the whole day. Occasionally, food will come and it was all from your favourite restaurants.

After the next 5th Disney movie ended, you told Lucas that you wanted to take a shower and he told you that you can borrow any of his clothes. He even said that he'll run you a bath but you told him that you were just going to take a light shower which Lucas didn't mind. Whilst you were showering, Lucas prepared a T-shirt and shorts along with the hoodie you were just wearing.

After your shower and putting on the clothes Lucas prepared, Lucas came and redid the medicine on your wounds before going back to watching some heart-warming movies on the bed. Feeling better, you decided to tell Lucas what happened and whilst it seemed that he was calm, his mind was off wondering the endless possibilities of teaching the two that harm you; whether it'd be physically or mentally.

Either way, Lucas listened to all your rambles, wrapping his arm around your shoulder, leaning you onto his chest, giving kisses on your forehead, cheeks and occasionally your neck, chuckling when he saw you flustered; basically making you 10x better, treating you like a queen up until you fell asleep.

When you did fall asleep, he gently tucked you into bed, kissing your forehead, smiling at your sleeping figure before leaving the room to the bar where he was more than ready to make the two-person harmed you suffer; not forgetting to ask Hendery and Yangyang to come over to watch over you.

"Sleep tight sweetheart. I'll be back before you know it, alright? No one treats my queen like trash and gets away with it" Lucas mumbled, kissing your forehead as he left as quietly as possible

and let's just say that everyone in the bar that night experienced a side of Lucas that no one would like to see or hear ever again.

"Try and lay a finger on her again, I won't be so nice next time" Lucas scoffed, seeing all the staff looked down, especially the two-person who hurt you

A/N: I hope that this was alright but yea, this fanfic has been stuck in my head for days

E&T-Honey I Shrunk the Test Subject

Hiiii here is the stupid content no one asked for (title from @just-a-whumping-racoon-with-wifi)

Masterlist - Next→

Ingredients: possessive whumper, manhandling/noncon touching (unsexy), spider, a lil bit of choking

“This is my favorite thing I have done, ever.”

“Change me back right now, Neteri.”

“Mmmmm...maybe later.” He huffed angrily and crossed his arms, glaring up at her. When she’d said she wanted to test something on him today, figured it would be...he didn’t know, something normal? Not...not…this. He wished he could run away as she stared down at him, but there wasn’t anywhere for him to go.

He was stuck up here, standing on the palm of her hand as she looked at him through a magnifying glass.

She poked at his stomach with the tip of her finger, giggling as he stumbled back in order to stay on his feet. “Oh Erebus, you’re so cute all teeny like this. My hypothesis was correct after all!”

“And what was your hypothesis?”

“That you would be even cuter if I shrunk you! And I was so, so right,” she cooed, shifting so both of her hands were wrapped around him, bringing him up and rubbing him against her cheek. He squirmed desperately, but he was no match for her now.

“Put me down!”

“Okay!” She let go of him with one hand, still holding him firmly in the other, and grabbed something from under the table. She gently dropped him onto a soft surface...surrounded by curved glass walls. He looked up in disbelief. A jar. She’d put him in a jar.

“Neteri, this isn’t what-let me out of here!” he yelled, banging his fist against the glass uselessly. 

“Don’t worry bud, I’ll take you outside later. For now, I have some things to do, so just sit tight, okay?” He protested further, but she just ignored him and screwed on the lid. She’d poked holes in it, at least, but now he was even more trapped. He found it hard to stand as she started walking, so he angrily sat down on the thick layer of cotton and scraps of cloth that lined the bottom of the jar, watching helplessly as she carried him along.

She brought him into a room he’d never seen before, but he assumed it was her office. Bookshelves lined the walls, and papers were stacked in neat piles here and there. She gently set the jar down on her desk, gathering some materials before sitting down and getting to work. Erebus sighed, looking around more closely at his prison.

There really wasn’t much in there besides the layer of bedding, just a small stick and a coin. He laid back, sighing. This was worse than being stuck in his cell, since there he had things to do, and more importantly, privacy. Here, everything he did was very much on display for Neteri. Every now and then, she’d glance up at him and smile, or even just watch him for a little bit. Why did she even want him here if she wasn’t going to do anything to him? Wait, he...he was just her desk ornament, wasn’t he? A little pet for her to look at while she worked. Humiliated, he rolled onto his stomach, burying his face in the soft material. There wasn’t any way to escape her gaze except for burying himself completely, but he was certain she’d just tease him for doing that.

A little while later, he heard her unscrewing the lid, and upon looking up, he saw her hand reaching in. He tried his best to get away, but there wasn’t really anywhere for him to run. She managed to pinch the back of his shirt between her fingers, and he struggled uselessly as she pulled him up and out of the jar. “You’re so wiggly,” she remarked, grabbing him in her other hand and letting go of his shirt.

“Yeah, because I don’t like you grabbing me and picking me up!”

“Oh come on, how can I resist?” She rubbed the side of his face with her thumb. “You’re so lil and cute and all mine; I just wanna hold you.” She moved her thumb, stroking his hair now. “Maybe I’ll just keep you like this forever. My own little Erebus.”

A look of horror crept across his face. “You wouldn’t-you can’t-”

She laughed. “No, I can’t. The spell only lasts for twenty-four hours.”

“Well that’s-wait I’m going to be stuck like this for a day?!”

Neteri smiled wickedly. “Yes you are. And you can bet I’m going to make the most of this. I’m almost done here, and then I’ll take you outside, ‘kay?”

“Are you going to let go of me while you-”

“Nope.” Erebus groaned, but tried to make himself as comfortable as possible in her hand, trying to ignore the way she was constantly petting him with her finger in one spot or another. Thankfully, she finished her work soon after and let go of him, placing him gently on her palm. “Alright, lil guy, do you want to ride in the jar or on my shoulder? Or,” she gasped, “I could put you in my pocket! Nevermind, I’m putting you in my pocket.”

“Hey, wait-” Erebus cried, but she paid him no heed, dumping him into the breast pocket of her coat. After some struggling, he managed to right himself, standing so his head and shoulders were sticking out. Neteri was looking down at him with the happiest smile he’d seen her wear since...ever, really.

“This is so amazing look at you in there you’re so small and aaahhhh!” She jumped up and down a few times, and Erebus had to hold tightly to the edge of her pocket to avoid being thrown out. 

“Cut it out, Neteri, you’re going to kill me!”

She looked down at him, realizing her mistake. “Oh no I’m so sorry little bud are you okay?!”

“I mean for a lot of reasons, no, but physically I’m...not in pain.”

“Great! Let’s get going, then.” She slung her bag over her shoulder, and off they went. It was strange, seeing the world from this height. He felt so small-well, of course he was small, but-just...height wise? Regular person size height wise? He felt like he was a kid again, only being this high off the ground. This was sort of how Neteri saw things, wasn’t it? He was a little lower than that, but still, the tops of doorways were so far, not even close to his head at all. 

Musings aside, he was relieved when they made it to one of the many palace gardens they visited every so often. He begrudgingly climbed onto Neteri’s hand, glad to get out of her pocket, at least. She petted his head a few times, muttering “Tiny Erebus,” to herself, before lowering him enough that he could step onto the ground. They were right next to one of the plant beds, and Erebus couldn’t help but look up in awe. The plants were so tall, their leaves big enough for him to easily hide under.

“You can go wandering in there if you want, but don’t go too far or...well, you’ll see,” Neteri said. Erebus was tempted to ask what exactly she meant by that, but he refrained, simply nodding and heading off into the veritable jungle. Soon enough, he lost himself in the strange little world among the plants, fascinated by the way they looked from this angle. He didn’t know how long he spent just wandering around, studying the huge flowers, stems, and leaves. For a moment, he almost didn’t mind being small. But just for a moment.

Because then he saw something moving.

Erebus was frozen in horror as he watched the long, shiny legs scuttling towards him. He’d never really been afraid of spiders, but they usually weren’t so big, certainly not almost up to his knees. He finally managed to get his legs to move, breaking into a run. He didn’t really think it would hurt him, but he didn’t want to take his chances and that thing was still freaky. He tried to gauge where he was, but it was impossible to tell. He could hardly see the sky through all these tall stems and leaves, much less Neteri. And no way was he calling for her. If she knew he was being chased by a spider, she’d never let him live it down.

Erebus just kept going, hoping he could lose it, when something suddenly jerked on his neck, temporarily choking him and knocking him onto his back. He frantically felt his neck as he coughed, feeling for whatever had pulled him, but there was nothing besides his stupid collar, which hadn’t caught on anything, as far as he could tell. He scurried to his feet and tried to keep going, but again his neck was pulled back. He waved his hand around, and there wasn’t anything there, but it felt like he was being tugged back by...a leash. Oh. This is what Neteri meant by him not being able to go too far away. 

Thankfully, he seemed to have lost the spider, so he turned around and headed in the direction the leash had pulled him earlier. It did end up leading him back to Neteri, who looked at him with an eyebrow raised. “Did you try to run, Erebus?” She tapped a ring on her finger that he hadn’t noticed before, a tinge of harshness in her eyes. 

“I-no, I was just...running...from something.” He’d...he’d rather take teasing over punishment.

Her gaze softened instantly, her hands flying up to cover her mouth. “Wait did you get chased by a bug or something that’s so cute!” She grabbed him before he could dodge, bringing him up and rubbing him against her cheek again. “You poor sweet little thing I’ll always protect you from those big scary bugs.”

Erebus then remembered that teasing was basically punishment. 

He couldn’t wait for this damn spell to wear off.

Mineta Being Disrespectful to (Y/N) HC Bakugou/Shinsou/Kirishima/Mirio

Katsuki Bakugou:

Bakugou is a very protective Of you

He loves everything about you like your skin regimen, your hair regimen, and everything you do to take care of yourself.

His secret guilty pleasure is doing facial routines with you and washing your hair. Don’t tell the other students shhh!

He also loves your taste in music, your taste in fashion, he also loves when you dance when you “think” you’re alone.

He also truly loves when you stand your ground against him and his crappy attitude. You shut everything down telling him that you are not the one to be a messed with, and tell him to check his attitude.

You are his queen, and a King should always protect his Queen.

So he basically walks with you everywhere, you only get your alone time when he’s off training.

When he walks with you, he holds your hand and he’s always close to you so other males realize that you are with him. He gives them glares, warning them and basically telling them “Don’t even try it.”

It seems like a Certain purple hair short monster didn’t get the picture.

When Mineta Approached you two in the hallway with a cocky smirk, you and Bakugou realize that you were about to hear some very offensive shit.

“Hey you Beautiful Curvy, Black, ThunderBolt! You know what they say: the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. Can I get the chance to test that theory?”

Your Face was in pure disgust.

(You know like in Anime their eyes are shadowed over and your lips were a straight line as the background is like a dark blue lol)

Like everything he said to you was so disrespectful that you couldn’t even think of a comeback.

Bakugou grabbed Mineta by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up to the level of his raging eyes.

“Why you 3ft little ingrate! Apologize!!!! Do it now or I will regret the day you were born!” Bakugou threatened.

Mineta, who was shaking in fear, begged for his life and pleaded to the blonde to not unleash his explosive wrath on him.

“Mineta.” You started. “If you ever step to me with that weak ass game or any other game you like to play, I will step on you neck as I pull out your purple orbs until you’re bleeding and probably won’t stop after. Do you hear me you sorry excuse for a hero?!”

Bakugou stared with wide, proud eyes at you. He never seen you like this, and he have to say that he loved it. The whimper that Mineta gave snapped the Blonde back to reality.

Bakugou slammed Mineta against the lockers, giving him the same glare that he gave earlier. “I still didn’t hear an apology.”

Mineta apologized repeatedly, but Bakugou’s grip only got tighter around the grape student. Upset that Mineta KNOWS you to are the rice and still tried to shoot his shot.

“Listen here you little failure of a human, you know (Y/N) are together and you still came up to her flirting. I can’t stand a lot of things you do but what I really hate is the fact that you had thee AUDACITY To do try. If you try this again, Class A will have 1 less student. Got it?!”

Mineta fearfully nodded before Bakugou rolled his ass down the hall like he was a bowling ball. Adding a tiny explosion for extra push.

“I’m so sorry Teddybear..” Bakugou sighed to you. “Don’t apologize Babe, you did nothing but protected me. Thank you for making that runt apologize to me.” You said.

“No problem, but that can we talk about that sexy, angry, dark side of you? I never seen that side of you and I wanna know have I been rubbing off on you?” Bakugou smirked.

You chuckled as you rolled your eyes, you lightly pushed him off you and started heading to lunch.

Hitoshi Shinsou:

Shinsou has always been the laid back type, pretty chill and tamed. Like it’s kinda hard to piss him off.

But if you do want to piss him off, there are a few ways to do so.

Call him a villain because of his quirk. He hates when people misunderstand him and don’t want to try to understand, he will be highly pissed off.

And mess his beautiful (Y/N) A.K.A his Kitty Kat. He treasures the hell out of you, you’re his sunlight to his gloomy days. His sulking lessened when he met you.

He loves laying on your chest as you play in his hair. He loves to hear your heartbeat, he loves how soft and warm you feel. You’re like a dream to him, and hearing your heartbeat makes him realize you’re real.

His favorite pastime with you is letting you braid his hair as you two chat. He feel so lucky to have you.

So imagine how he felt when he was walking to meet you at your locker, and saw you and Mina there, looking creeped out by the short purple pervert.

“How you doing today you nesquik milky chocolate queen?” He said with such a cocky smile. Did he really think that was appropriate?

You and Mina scoffed and rolled your eyes. “Mineta, you better run.” Mina said as she saw your Boyfriend standing there.

Shinsou stood there with a death glare, fist cleaning hard, he was trying so hard not commit murder. How dare he say those to you, his Kitty Kay?! Oh he’s gonna pay.

“Hey Mineta, How’s your day?” Shinsou said in a happy voice.

“Oh it’s going-”

Got him.

“Beat yourself up.” Shinsou command.

While the graped fucker beat himself, and Mina watched and laughed. Shinsou came up to you, putting his arm around your waist, pulling you close. “Are you alright?” Shinsou asked you.

“Yeah, but I think you should stop him before he beat himself into a coma.” You said. “He’ll deserve it.” He said. “Agreed.” Mina said.

“Babe.” You said looking at him, he groaned. “Apologize to (Y/N).” Shinsou demanded Mineta.

“I apologize (Y/N).” Mineta said. “Punch yourself one more time.” Shinsou ordered with a smirk on his face. When the bell rang, Shinsou released his quirk.

Mineta was groaning in pain, Shinsou bent down to his eye level, and looked him dead in his swollen eyes.

His glare was scary, and cold. “Don’t you ever approach my girlfriend like that ever again if you want to continue breathing. Got that Grape Shrimp?” He muffed him then walked back towards you.

“I see I’m going to have to escort you to classes with this grape menace running around.” Shinsou said

“Shinsou that was funny! Can I get you to do that to some people for me?” Mina asked as she walked away with you two

Eijirou Kirishima:

Just like Shinsou, He’s kinda hard to piss off. I mean just look at him! He’s always smiling. (Oh smiley Magee head ass! Ik I love Kiri.)

You and Kirishima was close, meaning you two had feelings that either one of you were afraid to admit. So y’all hang out a lot because y’all like being around each other.

He loves when he listens to your music. You always have the greatest songs from Beyoncé to Chance the Rapper.

Whenever you pass him in the halls or around the dorms, he’ll pause his conversation or whatever he’s doing to come talk to you

And you, always loved talking to him. You loved his fangs whenever he smiled. You two would shyly flirt and talk to each other, you can basically hear Bakugou’s eye rolls.

“JUST FUCKING ASK HER, YA’ PUSSY!” Bakugou yelled from behind. He was tired of Kirishima talking about asking you out but never had the guts to do so.

“Ignore him, so I was wondering-”

Then Mineta came up to ruin this beautiful conversation, like he literally came out of no where.

“Excuse me Kirishima but I have something to say to (Y/N). How you doing, you Hershey Kiss beauty?”

Oh no he didn’t.

“Boy you better come correct when it comes to me!” You held your hand up, about to slap him when Kirishima stopped you.

“Mineta, I’ve put up with your constant creepy hook up line but I refuse for you to hit on (Y/N) like that. It’s not manly at all! Now apologize to (Y/N)!”

“Or what? You’re going to hit me? That’s not like you. That wouldn’t be manly now would it?” Mineta mocked.

That hit a nerve for Kirishima, he took in a deep breath, looked at Bakugou, and signaled him to come over.

“Apologize or Else.” Kirishima said. Mineta, who is unaware of Bakugou being behind him, folded his arms and refused. “Or else what?”

“Or else I’m gonna stomp you into the ground and create grape jelly out of you. You fucking short creepy fuck.” Bakugou said as tiny explosions popped from his hands.

Mineta stood frozen, looking between the three of you guys terrified. “Well, She’s waiting.” Kirishima said.

“That’s not fair! She’s not even your girlfriend!” Mineta whined.

“She is now, and she still hasn’t got her apology!” Kirishima said pulling you close. Butterflies are just flapping in your stomach as he held you in such a protective and claiming way.

“B-But.” Mineta tried.

“Bakugou…” Kirishima said, ready to send his feral friend onto the Grape Trash.

“Fine! Fine! I’m so sorry (Y/N)! I will never do it again! Please don’t send Bakugou on me!” Mineta begged.

“(Y/N) do you accept?” Kirishima asked. Kirishima will sick Bakugou on him If you didn’t.

“I do, but I still want Bakugou to beat him up.” You said. Bakugou smiled wickedly as he started his attack on Mineta.

You and Kirishima started walking away, and you looked at the red head with a cheeky smirk. “So, where we going on our first date since we’re a couple now.”

Kirishima blushed hard, tripping on words, he rubbed the back of his neck. You thought it was so cute. You grabbed his hand, “Don’t worry, I’ll pick the date.”

“No, I’m the guy. So I should show you an amazing time. I think I already know a place.” Kirishima said grabbing your other hand.

Mirio Togata:

The most powerful student in the school.

And he is your boyfriend. And the Best and sweetest boyfriend you could ask for!

Just like Kiri, he’s Smiley Magee! But because he’s so positive, I don’t see him getting angry…

More like Stern seriousness, and when he’s like that, you better take him seriously.

You and him have this game y’all play. Where he pops in randomly, through a wall, ceiling, floor, door to drop some words you probably need to hear.

He isn’t a stalker with it, it doesn’t bother. You think it’s fun, trying to predict where’s he’s going to come from.

He loves popping in on your down time when you just relaxing and being natural. Popping in when you’re watching a movie or tutorials. Helping you learn, while learning himself.

He is a master at putting on False eyelashes and he loves brushing your hair as you talk about your day.

He never invade your space and you get particularly bored when he’s not around. Be looking around, hoping he pops up.

Anyways, back to main thing. You think as a 3rd, certain first years wouldn’t have the balls to talk to you. But One Small Menace thought otherwise.

Here we have Minoru Mineta, trying to shoot his shot with you, not realizing it never even made it in the basket. Especially with the disrespectful pick up line he opened with.

You and your girls were stretching in the yard and when Mineta and Dennis came up to you girls. “ How you are doing! My black thunder beauty?”

You face went complete stale, even his friend knew that wasn’t a way you talk to you or any female period. And he thought he was cute with the nickname because your quirk is Sonic Thunder.

Next thing you know, you see a strong hand come from the ground and grabbed Mineta by the leg. You smiled, you knew that hand! Then instantly, Mirio pops up from the ground like a fucking daisy!

“Is this seriously how you talk to women? Also, you do know (Y/N) is my Girlfriend right?” Mirio asked as he held Mineta by the leg. Mineta started babbling and begging to be put down.

“I don’t like what you said to her, and I suggest you apologize before it really becomes a problem.” Mirio threatened. Then out a small bit of smite, he shook the little shrimp a couple of times.

“I-I-I’m sorry (Y/N)! I never meant to offend you! And please tell him to put me down!” Mineta begged you. You and Mirio had playful smirks on your faces. You two tortured him for a couple more minutes by shaking him, making him dizzy.

“Alright Miri, let the little shrimp go. I think he learned his lesson.” You smirked. As Mirio dropped him, Mineta was a bit Dizzy.

You thwacked him on the head, for your payback. It knocked him down, but not out. So he could still listen.

“You should never approach someone like that ever again, that is somebody’s daughter, somebody’s sister! Treat them like they are humans.” Mirio told him.

You and your friends got up and surrounded Mirio, thanking him. Then you wrapped your arms around him, planting a kiss on his lips, making him blush bashfully.

“You girls wanna hit up a restaurant? I’m pretty sure you want to forget this just happened.” Mirio asked once he cleared his throat, he had to regain strength because you make him so weak.

“Now you know I love me some food!” You beamed to him, he grabbed your hand, smiling back at you as you start telling him how much you missed him.

[sokkascroptop]

would you be mad if i asked you if you can write a zuko x y/n drabble abt their relationship before he was banished? 🥺🥺

here it is!!! we’ll call this, a traitor prequel. I know that my inbox is about to be bursting with Zuko x Y/N headcanons and love and I’m okay with that. You think Azula was soft for Y/N? Zuko was a fucking Y/N simp from day fucking one. 

Also, for reference, Ren is Y/N’s oldest brother. And gd, I wish I had thought of this idea when I first was writing traitor instead of dropping this in the middle of the series. It would have given Y/N a bigger (and easier) reason to leave the Fire Nation. 

“You’re weak on your left side.” It was the third time that night she’d pointed it out and Zuko’s frustrations with her were growing. 

“Shut up, Y/N!” Zuko came at her with a vengeance. A well aimed blow was blocked by her. Zuko crossed his other sword overtop his right one, trapping hers between them. 

“I’m just trying to be helpful,” Y/N boasted. She pulled her sword away and backed off, still en garde. She gave him a little smirk. He wasn’t really mad at her, he just didn’t like to be corrected. 

Zuko dropped his swords to his sides. “Why do you antagonize me?”

“Ooh, big word!”

“Yeah, do you know what it means?” Zuko mused.

Y/N scowled and let her own sword fall. “Of course I know what it means!” She waved the tip of her sword in his direction. “Come on let’s finish sparring.”

Zuko shook his head and fitted his swords together. “I’m done for tonight.”

“But neither of us won!”

“Not everything has to be a competition Y/N. Sometimes we can just have fun together.” Noticing Y/N’s frown he added. “I have to get up early for firebending training.”

She sheathed her sword and they walked side by side back to their rooms. Zuko didn’t say anything more and Y/N wondered if she was wrong and he really was mad at her. “I’m sorry if you thought I was being mean,” Y/N said.

“You sounded like Azula,” Zuko commented. 

“What?” Y/N stopped dead in her tracks. 

Zuko ducked his head and looked at her sheepishly. “Ever since Ty Lee and Mai left you spend all your time with Azula. It makes you say things she would say.”

“Azula’s my friend, Zuko.”

“Well so am I! But every time we’re together you treat me like she does.”

“What does that even mean?” Y/N’s voice intensified with each word. 

“You’re cold. The only difference is you still apologize afterwards. You’ll stop doing that too.” Zuko turned on his heel and walked away from her. His back was tense and he had fists gripped at his sides.

Y/N was left in the hallway to try and figure out why what he said bothered her so much. 

---

“I came to apologize for yesterday.” Zuko had his hands behind his back and his head bowed. He was in his formal armor, not the lighter training clothes they wore when they would spar. 

Y/N frowned and opened the door more, motioning for him to come inside. 

He shook his head. “Lets walk in the gardens.”

“Why?”

“Just come on.” Zuko rolled his eyes and started walking away without her, she had to jog to catch up. 

“You never apologize. Especially when you think you’re right.”

“Am I right?” Zuko raised an eyebrow. 

It was Y/N’s turn to roll her eyes. “About me being like Azula? I don’t know? I also don’t know how that’s a bad thing if I was.”

Zuko didn’t answer her as they walked side by side down the steps and into the garden. He parted the leaves of the lone willow tree and motioned for Y/N to walk under them. 

The willow tree was the largest tree in the garden by far, it’s expansive branches created an oasis underneath the canopy where you couldn’t see out, but more importantly, no one could see in. It had become Zuko and Y/N’s favorite spot to hide away. They both sat at the base of the trunk and leaned against the bark, bumping their shoulders together.

“My mother and I used to sit out here every day by the pond.”

Y/N turned to look at her friend. Zuko didn’t mention his mother anymore much, and when he did there was often a hint of resentment in his voice, now it was just wistful and sad. 

“I know,” Y/N tried to think of something else to say to fill the quiet. She hadn’t known Ursa for very long, but the memories, however few and far between they were, were fond ones. “She was kind,” Y/N said finally. 

Zuko didn’t reply; that didn’t matter to Y/N. They sat in a comfortable silence watching the bees flit around and pollinate the willow blooms. If Y/N ducked her head down she could see the edge of the pond under the willow leaves and the turtle ducks swimming around. But Y/N still had one question on her mind...

“Zuko, why did you bring me out here?” He didn’t answer. In fact, he didn’t even look at her, so Y/N continued. “Surely, you didn’t drag me out here to plant one on me again?”

Y/N grinned at Zuko’s reddening cheeks. “I thought we weren’t going to talk about that!” he grumbled. “And I brought you here to apologize.” 

“You apologized when you came to my door. So what is this really about?”

Zuko had a nervous energy surrounding him, he began fidgeting with his hands in his lap. “I don’t like fighting with you, Y/N. We left on a bad note last night.”

Y/N sighed. “I know you and Azula don’t get along anymore. But don’t put me in a position where I feel like I need to choose between you two.” 

“I don’t want you to have to,” Zuko said earnestly. “I found out about a war meeting tonight. I’m going to try and get in, you should come with me.”

“A war meeting? No, why would I want to go to that?” Y/N had no interest in a meeting where generals like her father talked like they were Agni’s gift to the world. She had no idea why Zuko would want to either. 

Logically, Y/N knew that Zuko was to be Fire Lord, he was the heir and eventually he was going to have to partake in things like that. But, wouldn’t he want to avoid it as long as he could? Instead of jumping right in?

“Don’t you want to see what you’ll be doing one day?”

Y/N thought hard about that question. That had never occurred to her before. She never really imagined herself as a war general before, but that didn’t mean that other people didn’t see her potential to be one, and apparently even Zuko could see her doing that. Hopefully the war would be over before she ever had to make that decision, because that was not the person she wanted to end up being.

“Not particularly,” She answered softly. 

---

Y/N waited in one of the wide hallways that filled the palace for Zuko. She didn’t want to attend a war meeting, but that didn’t mean she didn’t want to know what one was like. Zuko hadn’t immediately come back, so he apparently had been let inside. 

Y/N didn’t know how much time had passed, but it was enough that she had slid down the wall and leaned her head on her bent knees. Servants had given her strange looks as they passed her carrying trays of food or laundry but they didn’t say anything to her; knowing that it would probably be better to just not ask. 

Finally, when Zuko emerged from around the corner, Y/N jumped to her feet. 

“Well? How was it?” Y/N realized her voice was much too excited for how she had been speaking about the war meetings earlier and she toned it down. “Was it everything you had imagined?”

Zuko’s face was paler than usual, and he began walking away without answering her. Y/N ran to catch up and grabbed his arm, spinning him around to face her. 

“What happened, Zuko?”

He grimaced and didn’t meet her eyes, instead opting to scout out the halls, looking to see if anyone was around them. Upon not finding anyone he backed them up into a recessed doorway; his golden eyes shining in the dim light. 

“I said something at the meeting.” Zuko looked at her, shellshocked at his own actions.

Y/N grasped his arms. “What happened?!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Zuko said, but it sounded like he was speaking more to himself than he was to her. “I disrespected this general–spirits I didn’t even know his name. He said he was going to send in a troop of new recruits to fight the Earth Kingdom army. They were going to be bait, Y/N. He was going to get them all killed and I told him he couldn’t do that...” Zuko’s voice trailed off. Y/N knew there was something he wasn’t saying. 

She dug her nails into his sleeves. “Zuko, what else happened?” 

“My father. He said I have to fight in an Agni Kai for disrespecting the general,” Zuko murmured.

Y/N’s heart began to race. An Agni Kai? She stepped back letting her body sag against the wall. She shut her eyes, closing off the tears that were brimming them. She wanted to scream at Zuko for being so foolish, but her voice came out in a whisper.  “Zuko, why would you do something like that? Why couldn’t you have just kept your mouth shut.”

Apparently, Zuko was not above yelling. “I had to!” His voice echoed through the hallway. 

When Y/N cracked open an eye he was avoiding looking at her face, choosing to stare at his feet. “Why?” she rasped. In Y/N’s heart, she knew what he was going to say. They’d been friends for too long and she knew that there were few things that he would use his voice to speak out against. He was always protecting her. 

“It was the 41st division. I couldn’t–” Zuko sighed.  

“Ren.” Y/N nodded and a tear slipped down her cheek. Zuko’s face softened and he laid a hand on her shoulder but that’s not what she needed right now. She wrapped her arms around Zuko and sobbed into his shoulder. “They’re gonna kill my brother, aren’t they?”

Y/N had never feared something more in her life. Coming from a military family, she knew the risks they all took when they signed up, but it had never hit her that this could happen to her. Ren wasn’t just some faceless soldier on the front lines, this was her brother, and those generals were playing with his life like he meant nothing. 

Zuko was hesitant to hug her back, but he eventually did. “That’s why I said something. I couldn’t have you think that I was somehow in on it.”

Y/N pulled away to look at Zuko, but looking at his hopeful face made her want to cry all over again. “I would never think that. But look at what you have to do because of me now.”

Zuko furrowed his brows. “I’m going to win, Y/N.”

Y/N wished she had the same arrogant, blind optimism that Zuko had about his Agni Kai. It didn’t matter who got burned and who threw the flame that burned them because in Y/N’s eyes, neither person was going to be the winner. 

---

Y/N didn’t knock and the guards that stood outside of Zuko’s door didn’t stop her from entering. She wouldn’t have let them stop her anyways. She’d waited for a week to come and see Zuko and she was running on adrenaline and tea. The moment she had heard what happened at the Agni Kai she wanted to run to him, but no one would tell her where he was. On one hand she wished she had been there, on the other, the thought of seeing the Fire Lord burn her friend’s face turned her stomach and she was glad she hadn’t tagged along with Azula. 

He wasn’t in bed, like she expected–in fact she wasn’t even sure what she had expected anyways; Zuko lying there half-dead? 

He was sitting on the floor, cross-legged in front of the tall mirror they all had in their rooms. He looked… the same. The unmarred side of his head was facing towards her and he was just staring at himself. 

He didn’t move even though the door to his bedroom slammed shut behind her. She approached cautiously, unsure of how he was going to take her showing up without any announcement. 

She stood behind him but she had yet to look down at his face, scared for what she was going to see. Instead, she stared at her own reflection, her tearful eyes that were threatening to overflow with each blink. 

“I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you.” Her voice broke halfway through the sentence. 

She glanced down involuntarily and stifled a gasp. Half of his face was wrapped in white bandages. What was behind those bandages, she wondered, sickly. Did he still have his eye? Could he still hear out of that ear?

Whoever had treated him had shaved his hair back leaving just his phoenix tail. It made him look older, meaner; or maybe that was just the hard expression on his face. Y/N had never seen it before. 

Y/N didn’t even realize she was sinking to her knees until they hit the cold marble floor. She wanted to reach out and touch him, to tell herself that he was real and still in front of her, because after so many sleepless nights she had convinced herself that Zuko was dead. Finally, after what seemed like ages of staring in the mirror; staring at him waiting for permission, Zuko met her eyes. Y/N surged forward and held him. Zuko clung to her arms and their sobs filled the air. 

What had she done? Zuko had stood up for her in that meeting and for that he had lost half of his face, his honor, and for what? 

“When do you leave?” she asked, her throat still thick with tears. 

“Two days,” Zuko sniffled. Y/N stared at his one gold eye in the mirror and Zuko stared back with just as much intensity. 

 “Promise me you’ll come back safe.” Y/N eyes were burning with more tears as she said it but she refused to look away. Zuko didn’t have to answer her because they already knew the answer. Y/N turned and pressed a kiss into his cheek that was still wet with tears. And they sat like that–for minutes or hours–Y/N didn’t know, with Y/N’s arms wrapped around Zuko and him leaning back into her chest. Y/N didn’t need his protection anymore–no, she was going to protect him.

Third Wheel

Pairing: kaider and I guess some kiko

Fandom: The Lunar Chronicles

Words: 1.3k

Fluff/ Angst

Summary: There’s a new shopping center in New Beijing and Iko is dying to go, so she hauls our favorite couple to with her. And, unfortunately, Kinney. Cinder and Kai do not want to go, but they have no choice and they end up having a good time, but Kinney feels a bit out of place.

(Not revised*)

Cinder stared out the window into the city of New Beijing. She's been here for less than a week and already she felt like she could relax. Sort of. The press was breathing on her and Kai's neck about why the Lunar Ambassador is staying at New Beijing Palace and want an answer. But they wouldn't get one yet.

She fiddled with the red engagement ring that only her friends knew about. It was nice to have some people know about the engagement so she wasn't all alone. Especially Iko, she's the best at covering the engagement when it comes to slip-ups in the public, even though she is the one who most wants to announce it.

Speaking of which, the same girl came bursting through the door, dragging in Kai, "GUYS!" she exclaimed.

"What," Cinder said, eyeing Kai. He shrugged.

"THERE'S A NEW SHOPPING CENTER!" she was practically jumping up and down, "WE HAVE TO GO!"

"Can't you just go alone? We have stuff to do-"

"It's no fun to go alone. I know what you're going to say 'ask Tress', well guess what? She's visiting her mother on Luna, so she can't come. So you guys are going to go in their place."

"I thought Kinney was visiting us for a week?"

"Yeah, but he's terrible when it comes to shopping."

"He's going to come anyway because Kai and I are."

Iko paused, "Spades, you're right. Dangit. Well, we're going anyways. You need the experience and I'm sure Kai hasn't shopped before."

"Is that an insult?" asked Kai.

"To me it is. And we're going to fix that."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The four of them stepped out of the hover one by one. Iko first, Kinney last. Iko gave Kai and Cinder black hoodies to blend in. Kai and Cinder had to walk in the scorching sun from where the hover dropped them off to the shopping center. Iko was delighted and left Kinney, Kai, and Cinder in the dust.

"So what do we do?" Kai asked before entering the building. Cinder leaned on him and intertwined their hands.

"I have no idea," she rested her head on his shoulder. He placed his head on hers.

"Maybe we should follow her?" Kinney suggested.

"But where'd she go?" said she.

"Probably the shoe department," he looked uncomfortable for some reason. Maybe because she and Kai were all coupled up and he was just standing there awkwardly.... oh. But she didn't want to let go of Kai yet.

"Let's try the shoe department," Cinder began to lead Kai into the building, Kinney behind them. She didn't try to talk because that would make the situation more awkward. Kai began to hum a soft tune. She recognized it and began to hum with him. He squeezed her hand when he noticed her singing, putting a flutter in her heart.

They did not find her in the foot department, unfortunately, so they went into the next store. Cinder made small talk with Kai which resulted in a kiss from each other on the cheek. Then she would feel bad about Kinney and try to act normal, but she couldn't be parted with Kai. Poor Kinney.

They found Iko drooling at a dress in the window display. Iko spotted them and waved for them to come.

"Look at what I found!" Iko said as soon as they arrived.

"A dress, nothing special," Kinney said.

"Shut up, you."

"Make me."

"I will- whatever. I'ma go buy this dress. Wait here, especially you, impatient heathen," she pointed at Kinney, then left. Kinney snorted while shifting his feet.

Out of nowhere, Cinder's stomach growled.

"Woah, are you hungry?" Kai teased. She playfully hit him and nodded, "Then we should get something to eat. Would you like to come Kinney?"

"No, I'm good."

"Ok."

"He probably wants a fruit cup, according to Iko," Cinder implied as they were walking away. She explained Iko once mentioning that Kinney loves fruit cups.

"Fruit cups?" he asked.

"I don't know why either."

"I mean they're healthy?"

"But there are so many other things that Earth has to offer, like pretzels."

"Do you want pretzels? Because I want pretzels."

"I want pretzels."

"Let's get pretzels," as they made their way to the pretzel stand, hand in hand, she suddenly felt like she was forgetting something.

"Wait. We can't be seen," Cinder blurted.

"Shit," they turned quickly and headed back to the dress store, where Iko still hasn't come out yet.

"Kinney," Cinder asked, "Can you buy some pretzels for us, please. We can't be spotted by the public because they would probably wring our throats for ignoring them."

"Of course, Your Ma-, Selene."

"Cinder," she corrected.

"Selene," Kinney smirked and walked away.

"AT first he would say it on accident and now he's saying it on purpose, like Thorne! I knew letting them hang out was a bad idea," ranted Cinder to Kai. He chuckled. Realizing they were still holding hands, she squeezed, "you know Kinney has been so uncomfortable with us. I feel so bad."

"It's not our fault if Kinney and Iko would rather banter than date."

She giggled, "good point."

The guard came back holding their pretzels (and a fruit cup) at the same time Iko finally exited the store. Iko eyed Kinney suspiciously as he handed the food to Cinder and Kai. He then started to eat the fruit cup.

"Nothing for me? So inconsiderate," she huffed.

"You can't even eat!" shot Kinney.

"That was the joke, Liam,"  he crossed his arms.

"Okay, maybe we should go now," Kai butted in, "It's getting late."

"It's 17:46 Kai, not that late."

"Well, maybe we should go before you two kill each other in front of everyone. We wouldn't want to cause a scene, right?"

"I agree with the Emperor. Plus, I'm bored," said Kinney, picking at his fruit cup again.

"What- not yet!" Iko sputtered, "We barely did anything! Cinder needs a pair of new shoes too."

"Oh, no, I'm good with the shoes. Don't worry about me."

"Fine! Let's go home! You're all party-killers," the android muttered the last part as she frustratingly made her way out of the building.

"Now I feel bad," said Kai.

"I don't. Let's go," Kinney replied. Cinder grabbed Kai's hand and headed down to the exit. Once they were outside, they found Iko standing by a hover glaring at them.

"Hey Kai, do you prefer blue or yellow?" the android asked.

"Blue?"

"Tie or bowtie?"

"Depends on what event is happening."

"Fancy event?"

"Tie."

"Okay, " Cinder realized what she was doing; she was online shopping. Cinder promptly began to laugh.

"What?" Kai asked, confused.

"She's shopping."

"Oh, " he began to laugh along with Cinder. He opened the hover door for her and she stepped in gradually. Kinney and Iko followed.

The ride back to New Beijing palace consisted of the two bickering like the lovers they were and Kai giving Cinder little kisses any chance he got, which Cinder appreciated.

"I SWEAR IF YOU EAT ONE MORE THING IN FRONT OF ME-"

"IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL!"

"I WILL SHOOT YOUR ASS OFF!"

"You smell good," Cinder whispered. She was heavily leaning on him, mostly to get away from the fighting ragers.

"Iko gave me some new cologne," Kai admitted.

"IT IS TO ME!"

"Oh. Remind me to thank her."

"OH, WHO CARES!"

"Why?"

"Because no one wants a smelly fiancee."

"True."

"UGH, WHY ARE YOU SO DIFFICULT!"

"I'M THE ONE WHO'S BEING DIFFICULT?! REALLY?!"

"They're annoying," said Kai, not so secretly.

"Imagine living with them for two years."

"IMBECILE!"

"LOOK WHO'S TALKING!"

"I'm sorry," Kai began to snicker, making her join along. The screeching pair turned their volume down as they neared the palace. Cinder and Kai hid their laughter as they glared each other down.

"We're here guys," pointed out Kai.

"Yeah, you go ahead. Kinney and I are going to have a word," Cinder and Kai left the hover and on their way back to the palace, she began to rethink the decision to leave the hover.

"You think leaving them alone is a good idea?" she asked.

"Nope. But they will work it out," he paused, "hopefully."

"Hopefully."

They walked through the grand palace doors, hand in hand, ignoring the possibility that all hell would break loose after leaving those two alone.

DadWorth AU: Part 2 (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)

More DadWorth AU! And here we finally get into the details of the games, so the parts that remain the same will be briefly touched upon. This is gonna be longer than the last post, so here we go!

 < Part 1  | Part 3 >

Turnabout Sisters

Things actually start a bit before the game does, and its with Kay at age fourteen and ready to start high school. (to me her birthday is in December, so she would be fourteen by the time the school year begins). And she has a certain one in mind.

I’ve mentioned before that Kay ends up idolizing Mia and follows her cases. Being surrounded by law for the past couple of years and wanting to help people (because Kay has yet to learn about the true Yatagarasu), Kay decides that she wants to be a defense attorney like Mia as opposed to a prosecutor like her dad and Miles (I am one of few people that I think subscribe to the idea of Defense Attorney!Kay... but that’s where we’re going here.)

Miles hestiates when he learns that Kay “wants to be a lawyer”, but after pressure from both Franziska and Gumshoe, he agrees to the idea. After studying and working hard, Kay ends up getting accepted to Themis Legal Academy in the defense attorney course -- something she hides from Edgeworth because she’s afraid that he’ll disapprove. But this is something that she really wants to do. i have an idea, shhh--

So, Kay’s first day of school just happens to fall on September 6. If anyone recognizes this date, it means Edgeworth is going to be home late, as he almost always is when he’s working on a new case. Because this is where we hit Turnabout Sisters.

Kay’s first day of school goes pretty well. It’s all getting to know you stuff, so it’s gonna be easy. Everyone tries to keep Kay from finding out about the details of Edgeworth’s newest case throughout the course of the day, but this fails because Miles doesn’t know that Kay looks up to Mia. So he gets very much confused when she gets upset upon learning Mia Fey had been murdered when he goes about their usual conversation about his latest case the next morning.

So, she’s upset and Miles has no idea why. On his side, he finds out the defense attorney for this case is Phoenix Wright. So he’s not doing so well because the past is coming back to bite him in the butt, and Kay goes to school feeling like crap. And things only start to get worse from there when two students in the prosecutors’ course decide its a good idea to mess with one of the students in the defense attorney course.

Enter Sebastian Debeste and Klavier Gavin. (i know klavier’s a good guy, but he still needs the character development to happen) They are not the nicest of people when Kay first encounters them. She’s down, and they decide its a good time to kick her while she’s down.

She confides in this to Ema, who gets super mad about this. She knows that she needs to tell an adult about it, so she somehow manages to tell Gumshoe about this (how they know each other, i’m not sure, probably happened after she met Kay.) And then Gumshoe goes to Miles while they’re investigating the next day and tells him that Kay’s been having a tough time adjusting (Ema had left out the bullying bit, since Kay had made her promise not to tell, thinking it would make things worse.)

Miles takes things into consideration a little bit (he’s too focused on his case), and promises to pick Kay up from school the next day if Gumshoe drops her off (an idea that came up from Gumshoe mentioning it would be a good idea to have someone she trusts there after a bad day.)

The date is September 9, Gumshoe drops Kay off at school as planned while Edgeworth goes to trial. And everything for both of them goes downhill from there. Edgeworth gets his ass handed to him by Phoenix and gets his first loss. Kay’s bullying continues. Too absorbed in his loss and the repercussions of it, Miles forgets about Kay entirely. Kay’s left outside of Themis, heartbroken and her trust in Miles barely even remains. After about an hour or so, she calls Badd to come and get her since she knows he’ll always be there if she needs him.

Miles hears Kay come home, and gets confused when she runs past him and up to her room. Badd explains everything and how Miles is an idiot.

So, Badd’s pissed at Edgeworth. Gumshoe gets mad at Miles when he finds out about what happened with Kay. von Karma is pissed at Edgeworth for losing at case to a rookie of all things. Kay’s upset with him because of what happened. Franziska’s mad at him on both fronts. The media is having a field day with his record being broken. It’s the second worst day of his life.

Turnabout Samurai

So, time goes on since the horrible, no-good very bad day. Miles is trying to deal with everything and everyone being mad at him. He’s becoming emotionally unavailable and Kay’s not helping at all since she’s pulled away from him. Since he forgot about her, she thinks he doesn’t care about her anymore. She just stays out of his way.

Miles is emotionally out of the window and does just what he needs to do to keep Kay happy or so he thinks. He’s too absorbed in his work and stressed out from his previous loss to try and reverse the damage caused to his reputation. Meanwhile, Kay’s bullying at Klavier’s and Sebastian’s hands continues. She doesn’t know what to do about it (even though Ema continually tells her to tell someone, Kay doesn’t want to make things worse.)

Things come to a head for her right around the same time that Edgeworth gets assigned the Steel Samurai case against Phoenix Wright. Kay’s absolutely done with Sebastian’s and Klavier’s treatment of her and remembering Ema’s words, she acts.

Kay ends up punching Klavier in the face when he pushes her over the edge, much to everyone’s surprise. They both get dragged down to the office by a teacher after the fight escalates a little (if it even can be called that, only physical blows traded was Kay’s punch.)

They’re in trouble, they start arguing over who started it, etc. The teacher (who I should note is Courte) puts an end to it, believing that they are both to blame for what happened -- Kay for retaliating the way she did and Klavier for antagonizing her in the first place. With the principal’s agreement, both of them are sent home for the day after their guardians are called.

For Kay, she immediately gets called back by Edgeworth while waiting. Edgeworth is in the middle of the Steel Samurai case, so he can’t do anything. He actually grows irritated over what Kay did, not listening to her explanation over what happened and only saying that they’ll talk about it when he gets home. Kay tries to find someone else who 

Meanwhile, Courte takes Klavier aside and tries to find out what happened to cause the whole mess in the first place. Something got into his head that this was how it was supposed to be with defense attorneys and prosecutors (what this is or who that was that planted it is up for debate). He’s told that he’s wrong. They’re both on the same sides of the law, and they’re both there to find the truth -- not to fight about it until there’s a victor. They are allies. Not enemies.

And then Klavier comes back and overhears Kay’s conversation with Edgeworth with Courte’s words echoing in the back of his mind. Klavier’s just like... “okay, she may be a defense attorney, but i don’t think she’s that different from me at all”. Kristoph is a terrible guardian, but the only one that can take care of Klavier, and he understands a bit of what Kay is going through right now because of that.

And immediately feels like shit for how he treated her prior. So when Kay goes to apologize to him from ya know... punching him, it’s him that starts apologizing. And after a very, very long conversation, they decide to start over and Klavier invites Kay to eat lunch with him and Sebastian the next day and even offers to see if he can get her a ride home. Kay reluctantly agrees.

And so their friendship starts there.

It takes Sebastian a bit longer to warm up to Kay like Klavier has, but eventually takes to her when she doesn’t hesitate to point out the mistakes he makes. She corrects him without missing a beat. Kay’s not hesitant to call him out on bullshit when needed. As a result, Sebastian’s a bit smarter than compared to canon.

So, the chaotic duo of Ema and Kay grows to include Klavier and Sebastian. (ema has no reason to hate klavier yet, that’s not until phoenix is disbarred if my theory is right, but his attitude does tick her off sometimes).

Things are starting to get better for Kay, that’s for sure. Miles, on the other hand... not so much.

We all know what happens with him. Unnecessary feelings, questioning just about everything that you know and who you are, etc. This doesn’t go unnoticed by Kay, who wants to try and do something to help. What that is, though, she doesn’t know yet.

Turnabout Goodbyes

Winter break is coming up, and it’s pretty clear at this point that Sebastian and Klavier (the latter moreso than the former) are in tight with Kay and Ema. Kay wants to do something to fix her relationship with Edgeworth, leading to a suggestion of being honest with him about how she feels. If he listens (unlike their guardians), then that means things could turn around.

Kay declines this idea as the first thing they decide Kay should do is tell Edgeworth that she’s in the defense course. She’s still wary about what he might say or do if he finds out she’s going to be a defense attorney rather than the prosecutor he thinks. She does, eventually, agree to talk to him about how she feels. Confessing to being in defense does still linger in the back of her mind.

Christmas starts to draw nearer and nearer, and the two usually spend it together (a tradition born from the first one they had. As bad as that time of year is for Miles, he tries to not let it show for Kay’s sake. Kay doesn’t know about DL-6 and he wants to keep her as far away from it as possible.) So Kay is confused when he heads out Christmas Eve.

Kay has no idea who to turn to... except for one person. So, Christmas morning, while Gumshoe does his best when it comes to figuring out the truth with the investigation, Kay runs all the way down to Wright & Co. Law Offices. (Edgeworth had talked about Wright before in conversations that Kay overheard. That, and it was talked about that he was the only one who managed to take down Edgeworth at school.)

This is the first time that Kay meets Phoenix face-to-face, so he’s pretty confused about as to why a teenager is banging down his door on Christmas asking for help. But, he’s not someone whose going to say no, so he and Maya head down to the detention center with Kay.

Imagine their shock when they learn that the person Kay was talking about is Miles Edgeworth. Who immediately turns around and refuses their help. At all. Because he wants them as far away from this as possible.

Phoenix and Maya leave with Kay, and two out of three are not about to give up so easily. So, yeah. Kay’s finally part of the main storyline.

She helps Phoenix and Maya on their investigation and in the process does learn about DL-6. And her heart just breaks when she learns that her guardian went through all of this. Which is why Kay is relieved when Miles finally 

In the meantime, Phoenix and Maya are trying to figure out what Kay’s connection to Edgeworth is since neither of them explained. And all they can get Gumshoe to say is that Kay is someone that knows Miles rather well. (something that’s supported with Kay knowing about Edgeworth’s fear of earthquakes.)

Kay’s in the audience during this case, primarily because Miles expresses that he doesn’t want her anywhere near von Karma (especially for something that would technically be her first trial). But she’s also not going to leave, so she just watches. Kay gets excited when Phoenix starts tearing von Karma’s case apart. (at this point, Kay only vaguely knows von Karma from Reminiscence. She knows that he’s Miles’s mentor and nothing more than that.) 

She helps with the DL-6 investigation. The one thing I should note  surprises her the most about it is the date which it takes place. Added angst for this whole case (primarily comes from my headcanon birthday for Kay) -- It’s revealed that Miles was careful on December 28th to not let Kay know what was going on with him since it was also her birthday.

Kay has only known Larry for two days, and he’s already giving her a headache (and making her question how Miles and Phoenix are friends with him a little bit). But she’s super excited that he was able to help in the end. She also finds the story about the class trial super sweet, remarking how it reminds her about how Edgeworth used to be like when they first met.

She ultimately is incredibly worried about Miles as the case goes on. Especially with how he thinks that he killed his father. The man Kay knows would never do that -- even on accident. She wants to help as much as possible, even if she can’t stand with the defense. She also wants to stick it to von Karma after everything he’s done. Especially after the confrontation in the evidence room, where Kay lets loose more information than she should, so von Karma (along with Maya and Phoenix) end up finding out about Kay’s relation to Miles.

Phoenix asks her about this later, and Kay explains everything. She begs him to get Miles a Not Guilty verdict since she doesn’t want to lose yet another father of hers. He promises her that he’ll try.

So we get to the final trial day. Kay thinks that Phoenix calling the parrot as a witness is one of the most hilarious things ever later on, but in the moment, she thinks he’s gone crazy, but it works. Miles is declared innocent and she couldn’t be happier... until he flips the switch and confesses to DL-6 after von Karma brings up

Kay gets so mad and upset about this. She corners him in the defendant’s lobby, which is not a pleasant conversation. She knows that Miles is innocent. They’ve been fighting this whole time and he’s just willing to give up that easily? Kay feels like she’s being left behind all over again. She doesn’t understand why Miles won’t “believe in me, who believe in you”. And she storms out. So there’s a bit more guilt on Miles’s shoulders, and a small bit of incentive for him to actually get a not guilty.

So, it cuts to Kay in the hallway making her way back to the gallery. She’s relaying to what’s going on to her friends over a text conversation (understandably, they’re all pissed) when she bumps into someone on her way back.

Yeah... Kay runs into von Karma again. And knowing what she does about him, Kay’s just fucking pissed. There’s a confrontation between the two where Kay comes to understand why Miles is so afraid of this man. He puts an immense amount of fear into her. She just wants to get away.

Kay hits his shoulder by accident in the process and notices the amount of pain it causes him after she runs off. So, long story short, Kay manages to figure out where the second bullet is before Phoenix does, and the trial concludes similar to how it does in canon, but with Kay’s intervention. She’s beyond relieved that Miles is free and von Karma is arrested.

She also feels horrible about yelling, and decides to take her friends’ advice to heart. She almost lost Miles once, and if that ever happens again, she wants him to know the whole truth.

The first thing Kay does after Miles is declared innocent is confess everything to Miles. She’s stammering and nervous and is barely through it when Miles cuts her off because he already knows Kay’s studying to be a defense attorney. She’s not as slick as she thinks, Gumshoe had mentioned multiple times that Phoenix could be someone Kay could learn a lot from, etc. That, and he is Kay’s guardian. He keeps in contact with the school.

He’s not disappointed in her either, which is the one fear that Kay had. He understands not following in your father’s footsteps. If it makes her happy, then that’s fine with him. He is surprised that she finally told him the truth, though. Kay promises not to keep anymore secrets from him. She wants to trust him again.

Things end well between them... as well as they could be after that whole mess, but their relationship is steadily on the mend and all is right with the world.

...until February.

Rise From the Ashes

IF YOU ALL REMEMBER SOMETHING THAT I MENTIONED IN PART 1, THEN YOU KNOW THAT THIS CASE IS GOING TO GET WORSE FOR ONE MILES EDGEWORTH THAN IT ALREADY IS. 

Kay gets dragged into this one by Ema when she comes by in tears over Lana getting arrested. Kay mentions what happened back in December and says that Phoenix might be able to help, so Ema drags her down there. Phoenix is responsible for two teenagers rather than one. Again.

let’s just pretend that they don’t have school for whatever reason

Not much changes other than Kay’s involvement in SL-9. People keep bringing up the fact that Ema was not alone. And Kay’s thief skills starting to show up a little bit. Again, she won’t discover the truth about the Yatagarasu until later down the line. 

She also wants to kick Gant in the shin more and more as the case progresses.

When it gets to the point where they find out that Miles is going to resign,

It’s only during the last day of the trial that Phoenix (and by extension, everyone else but Maya) finds out about Miles’s connection to Kay when he brings up the fact that there was another witness present when Ema was attacked. And Miles isn’t able to hide who it is any longer.

So, Kay has to testify. And it’s not fun. It all ends with her asking them to leave Edgeworth alone, since he didn’t do anything wrong (or he didn’t know that he was doing anything wrong -- something that is later provable.) So, this case is full of family feels, and Phoenix feels like shit for having to do this.

But in the end, Kay’s memory is a bit more clearer than Ema’s, which leads to Gant’s arrest being a bit easier. Ema still leaves the country to study forensics in Europe, and there’s a tearful goodbye and promises to stay in touch between her and her friends. But the impact that the case leaves on Edgeworth does not change. He feels like he isn’t fit anymore -- as a prosecutor or as a guardian for Kay since he couldn’t protect her.

So, the night of February 25, Kay’s woken up in the middle of the night by Miles. She’s half-asleep, and really doesn’t understand what he’s saying at the moment. He’s saying that he has to leave for a while, and tells her that he cares about her. She’s just like “okay” and ends up falling back asleep.

The next morning, Kay wakes up and the house is just about empty. She can’t find Miles anywhere. She just thinks that he’s busy with a new case that needed him in the office early, or they needed him to help clear up what happened yesterday or something, so she doesn’t think much of it.

That is until Gumshoe picks her up from school early. He never does this. No one really does this without warning, like if its a doctor’s or dentist appointment or something.

Her entire world falls apart when he tells her about the note that they found on Edgeworth’s desk that morning.

Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth Chooses Death. 

And that ends Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Kay doesn’t interact with the story all that much, but we already have Egdeworth’s perspective on the game for the most part. A lot of this takes place from Kay’s POV... including Justice for All. Which I have some... interesting things in mind for.
