Oooh songs for the yandere weasels? I got some suggestions! (I'm not trying to one up you spookifi, I like the idea of themes for these scary skrunks and I wanted to add onto your ask. I hope this doesn't come off that way)
'Leave me Alone' by Alexander Ryback, for Stupid. This song is purely in the POV of the stalkee, and conveys the exact feelings you'd have for a stalker that follows you everywhere, like Stu would. Not to mention the upbeat tone of the song fits his more upbeat character (compared to the other weasels).
🎵 You're scaring mom and dad, scaring off my girlfriend. You're waiting by my door early in the morning. I've told you many times, don't follow me at night! You're poisoning my life! Just tell me why!🎵
'Super Psycho Love' by Simon Curtis for Greasy. Technically not a yandere song, but the pure lust the singer feels, along with how insistent they are that you're gonna be with me does seem to match Greasy's tone. Even if he is more... Aware that Y/N doesn't want him.
🎵I know you want me too. I think you want me too. Please say you want me too. Because you're going to. Say that you want me every day that you want me every way that you need me, got me trippin' super psycho love!🎵
'Painkiller' by Three Days Grace for Wheezy. The singer acting as if they are what's good for the one they're singing for. But in actuality, they are the ones slowly killing Y/N. And they know it. (Not to mention the drug connotations with the song goes with Wheezy's addiction)
🎵You know you need a fix when you fall down. You know you need to find a way, to get you through another day. Let me be the one to numb you out. Let me be the one to hold you, never gonna let you get away.🎵
'Snow White Queen' by Evenescence for Psycho. Another song sung from the perspective of the stalkee. How they feel violated, and how they have to try to hide from this person who claims to know them, all the things they say to them (Psycho sharing all of his twisted dreams and fantasies), and how this person insist that they're 'theirs'. Not to mention the haunting tone I'd the music and lyrics go with Psycho's more horrifyingly unhinged nature.
🎵Stop light, lock the door, don't look back. Undress in the dark, and hide from you, all of you. You'll never know the way your words have haunted me. I can't believe you'd ask these things of me. You don't know me now or never!🎵
'An Unhealthy Obsession' by The Blake Robinson Synthetic for Smartass. The unhinged music and delusional lyrics go with how Smartass carries himself as 'better' than the others. Along with how he uses his sources to find out everything about Y/N.
🎵You just don't know it, but you love me and I love you the same. One day, we'll have a pretty wedding and I'll be your everything. You don't know it, but baby, I already got your heart. 🎵
(Also, since 'An Unhealthy Obsession' is a duet between two stalkers, this could be used for Greasy and Psycho when they're both after the same Y/N. Or any other combination of the weasels)
Well that's my thoughts on this. What do you guys think?
Oh I loveeeee these choices as well!! @spookiifi , what do you think of these ones?? ^^
I wanna join too now XD
Greasy:
I think you guys really hit the nail on the head with this one!! I cant think of anything as good right now! 😅😅😅
Psycho:
Fly On The Wall, Miley Cyrus
I just think the icky, buggy visuals and the insane stalker vibes are on point here.
Don't you wish that you could be a Fly on the wall? A creepy little, sneaky little Fly on the wall All my precious secrets, yeah You'd know them all
Smartass:
The Haunting, Set It Off
*So I struggled finding a song for him but when I listened to this one there was something very Smartass-y about it! 😅 I'm thinking this is how he would be if you managed to get free of and safe of him- bitter and horrible, and totally deluded into thinking that you're a crazy bitch/ he's the only one who could ever deal with/love you, and you will miss him.
Someday you may find that picture perfect guy And I'll chase my words with poison Until that day arrives, and swine take to the sky Fill your void with open thighs so
No one will love you like I did Will treat you like I did So go on, wear that scarlet letter No one will love you like I did Will touch you like I did So good luck finding something better
Stupid:
Tag, You're It, Melanie Martinez
*Okay so this one was gonna be for Greasy- but the more i listened to it, the less sexual it felt. More... obsessed. Just- gross, mindless, depraved, want. So,.. yeah 😅
Eenie, meenie, miny, mo Catch your lady by her toes If she screams, don't let her go Eenie, meenie, miny, mo Your mother said to pick the very best girl And I am
Wheezy:
Blood on a Rose, Everybody Loves an Outlaw
Very manipulative!
Your voice in my ear The world disappears So I'll fall again You can keep me right here
Russian Roulette, Rihanna
MY GOD this is him. Making you feel like you have a choice when he has the situation under his complete control. Even the fake kindness!
Say a prayer, to yourself He says, close your eyes, sometimes it helps And then I get, a scary thought That he's here, means he's never lost

Sleepless in New York: Chapter 11 - Cold Light of Day
Tumblr media
Series: TRR
Pairing: Drake Walker x F!OC (Harper Gale)
Synopsis: What if Drake met Harper on the first night of Prince Christian’s New York bachelor party? A stand-alone AU written from Drake's POV.
Masterlist: Sleepless in New York
Chapter Summary: It's the morning after the night before, and Drake does some reminiscing...
Word Count: 3,500
Rating/Warnings: E (swearing, angst, awkwardness, references to masturbation, obsessive-compulsive drinking)
Chapter theme song:
A/N1: So... This was not what I was supposed to be working on 🙈 My plan was to finish up Part 3 of Thanksgiving so it could be my submission for this year's Flufftober, but - as per usual - my brain (and my characters - thank you, Walker!) had other ideas, so here we are 😅
A/N2: I had 90% of this chapter written before the start of the summer, but then my inspiration kinda fizzled out, and I only finished it very recently. I was then umming-and-ahhing about whether to wait to post until the next part was also finished, or whether to split the content into two chapters. I went with the latter. Next chapter should be posted soon, though! Thanks for bearing with me! We're almost at the end (I know I keep saying this, but I can officially see the light at the end of the tunnel now!)
Chapter 11 - Cold Light of Day
Tumblr media
My eyes snap open.
And just like that, I'm back on top of the hotel room bed, staring up at the ceiling, my hand wrapped around my still-pulsing dick.
Fuck.
I've never tripped out like that before.
Sure, I've dived down the rabbit-hole of a fantasy or two before. I mean, what guy hasn't? You're not gonna jack off staring at your own schlong, and if porn isn't available, you're gonna make up your own.
But to lose myself in the warren of make-believe so completely? To the point where the line between fact and fiction dissolves and I've lost all sense of direction?
Never.
Though I guess I now know what The Matrix feels like...
As if to evidence the point, I feel the end-results of my feverish daydream slide down my hip.
I swallow a groan. Great...
Yet another reason why I'd wanted to avoid flying solo. Because in addition to the sour taste in your mouth, you're always left with a God-awful mess to clean up... Especially if you hadn't had the foresight to grab a towel beforehand.
Which leaves me with an unenviable choice: make an awkward dash to the bathroom while trying (and most likely failing) to contain the dog's breakfast sitting in my lap; or repurpose something to act as an impromptu rag...
...though one downwards glance quickly narrows my options.
Definitely Option 2.
Unclenching my cum-covered hand from my junk, I carefully balance on an elbow as I reach up to grab the collar of my t-shirt. Because given the extent of the damage, there's no way I'm making it to the sink without some serious casualties.
And I'd rather sacrifice the shirt off my back than the one pair of jeans I'm going to have to travel back home in.
Decision made, I pull the t-shirt over my head, lowering myself carefully back against the headboard so I don't accidentally capsize my payload onto the covers. Because that's definitely not something that I have in me to deal with tonight.
Scrunching the cotton up, I wipe my hand before reach down to begin cleaning myself up...
...and nearly jump out of my skin at the sound of the loud rap on the door.
"Room service...!"
"Shit!" I cuss under my breath, tossing the ruined t-shirt onto my duffle while grabbing for my jeans as I roll of the bed.
Yanking the denim up as my bare feet hit the floor, I quickly secure the fly and top button with one hand while scrambling for my wallet with the other. "Two secs!"
Locating the well-worn, hand-stitched leather on the bedside table, I flip it open and extract a couple of notes for the tip. Throwing the wallet back onto the bed, I do one last visual sweep to make sure that everything was kosher before—
Knock-knock-knock!
"I said I'm coming!" I holler back, wrenching my belt through its buckle as I make my way across the room.
Sweet Jesus! Hold your fuckin' horses already!
Reaching the entranceway, I snap an irate hold on the door handle. Wrenching it back, I come face-to-face with the impatient staff member who's gearing up for yet another round of aggressive knocking.
"Oh!" she exclaims in surprise, her fake-lash enhanced eyes going wide. "I—"
"No need to wake the whole damn neighbourhood..." I tell her tersely. "I said I was coming."
She flushes scarlet, not quite knowing where to look. "Sorry... The... umm... the doors are sound-proofed, so I... I couldn't—"
"Never mind," I grunt, pulling the door wider so she could wheel the food in.
She stares at me like a newborn calf seeing a fence for the first time.
I quirk a brow. This girl high, or something?
But just as I'm about to open my mouth to say something, she snaps out of whatever trance she's stumbled into and quickly refocuses her attention on the task at hand.
Stepping back, she reverses the service cart slightly so she can angle it into the room...
...and she still manages to hit the door frame on the way in.
The contents of the trolley jerk with a loud rattle and I have to snap a hand out to save the bottle of whiskey from crashing onto the floor.
"Christ alive..." I mutter under my breath.
"Oh, my God!" she gasps, face going red. "I am so s—!"
"I'll take it from here," I tell her, throwing the whiskey under my arm as I snatch the clonche-covered tray off the trolley while it was still in one piece.
"But—"
"Thanks," I say firmly, holding the tip up with an uncompromising look.
She glances at the notes almost morosely before reaching out to take them with a sigh. "Is there anything—?"
"Nope," I say, moving to close the door back 'round. "I'm good."
"Okay..." She heaves a breath as she begins to pull the cart back into the corridor. "Well, if you change your—"
"I won't," I assure her, flicking the door closed as soon as she's cleared the threshold.
Jesus... Talk about incompetent.
Retracing my steps, I deposit the tray onto the bed and reach for the whiskey under my arm.
Unscrewing the top, I tip the bottle back, not bothering with a glass from the mini bar.
The sweet sting of the amber liquid hits the back of my throat, and I suck it down, feeling the familiar warmth snake its way through my insides.
God, I needed that.
I take two more generous swallows — after the shit way the second half of the night had ended up unfolding, I'm seriously overdue some Southern comfort — before pulling the bottle back down and re-attaching the cap.
Chucking the bourbon onto the covers, I detour to the bathroom to wash my hands properly before sitting down on the edge of the bed and lifting the clonche.
The smell of grilled meat and salted carbs plumes out into the room, and my stomach growls in response.
Fuck, I'm starving.
Grabbing the burger with both hands, I tear into it viciously. The smoky flavour of the beef hits my tongue, followed quickly by the creaminess of the melted cheddar, and the tang of the pickles.
And even though it's not quite as good as the one I had back at the dive bar, that doesn't stop me from wolfing down another ravenous bite before the first one's cleared my gullet.
Because given how hard my body's craving the calories, even a tub of caviar would've tasted like ambrosia right now... And I fuckin' hate caviar.
Gulping the mouthful down, I grab a handful of fries and throw 'em down the hatch as well, barely pausing to chew before I swallow.
This ain't a high society dinner, so fuck table-manners.
Chowing down on the food like it's my last meal on Earth, I polish off the plate in record time, even wiping up the wayward bits of relish that had escaped the bun with last couple of fries...
...and am rewarded with a loud belch for my efforts.
I scoff. Probably shouldn't've eaten so quick...
But what's done is done. And my body sure as hell feels the better for it.
Sucking my fingers clean, I reach for the bourbon again. Taking another swig — much more measured this time — I drop the clonche back into the now empty plate and move the tray onto the upholstered bench that sat at the foot of the bed.
Glancing down at my watch, I can see that it's just coming up to 5am.
Which means that dawn's right around the corner.
I glance briefly at the bed.
But I know there's no point.
Because as exhausted as I am, I know I'm never gonna be able to nod off. Not this close to departure time. I'll just be staring at the ceiling, counting the minutes 'til my alarm rings.
Especially since the sun's about to come up. And when that happens, there's no way in hell I'm catching any shut-eye. My circadian rhythms are too well-tuned for that.
So, closing the bourbon back up again, I push myself heavily up from the bed. Making my way over to my duffle for the third time tonight, I extract my last wearable shirt.
Pulling it on, I grab my phone — no urgent messages or missed calls, thank fuck! Though the battery's on the verge of dying...
But it's gonna have to suck it up in power-saver mode. Because I only have a handful of self-imposed fiats that I live my life by. And top of the list is never leave anywhere without my phone.
Ever.
I learnt that lesson the hard way...
And I'm not about to break my cardinal rule. Especially not after Chris' disappearing act last night.
So, dropping the device into my pocket, I reach for my sidearm — another thing I never go anywhere without. Slotting it into the back of my jeans, I grab the keycard and exit the room again, not bothering with shoes.
I'm not plannin' on being gone long. And my feet could do with a break after racking up some serious miles over the past 24 hours in my boots. Plus, it feels good to let my soles run free — especially since I can't go for my usual barefoot run on the beach here.
But given that I have nothing better to do, and the TV had let me down earlier, I may as well take advantage of this brief moment of calm to do something that I actually enjoy.
Making my way up onto the roof — via the lift this time because I'm in no particular rush and I've already more than surpassed my daily step count — I push the door open and step into the twilight.
As expected, the roof is empty.
The lights of the skyscrapers twinkle in the distance, the buzz of the traffic merely a faint drone at this height.
Making my way over to the eastern corner of the building, I park myself next to the edge...
...and wait for the sunrise.
At first, nothing happens. The dark of the night sits heavily over the island, seeming to muffle the normally inexhaustible energy of the City That Never Sleeps.
But slowly... ever so slowly, the sky begins to lighten. And the wind shifts. From the depths of the evening's humid, slightly stale breeze comes a fresh, easterly gust that carries the soft scent of the sea with it.
It whips over me, cutting through the thin material of my shirt. But I don't flinch. If anything, I lean into it, savouring the faint taste of salt on my skin.
The black of the horizon gives way to blue and then to grey as the rising sun pushes the darkness back. Spots of colour appear — gold, russet and magenta, framing the clouds like a backlight.
And as I watch, the first tendrils of brilliance start to creep over the buildings, setting the acres of glass on fire. The wind begins to warm, bringing with it the promise of tomorrow...
...until the sun finally bursts into view, scorching the Big Apple in the blaze of the new dawn.
I heave a deep breath of the crisp morning air.
This. This'd been worth staying up for.
The last vestiges of tension drain out of my shoulders as I simply stand, taking in the view...
...and realise that I can't remember the last time I stopped to just enjoy the moment. Be it a hot mug of coffee, or the breeze on my face. Let alone the silent beauty of a perfect sunrise.
I exhale heavily.
I've been so caught up planning every aspect of this trip — not to mention the details of the social season with Bast — that I haven't even had time to think about taking a break, let alone catching one.
It's probably why I—
"Couldn't sleep either?"
I scoff at the sound of the familiar — and not entirely unexpected — voice from behind me. "Nope."
"Jet lag still?" asks Chris, coming to stand next to me.
"Probably," I shrug, keeping my gaze turned towards the horizon. "You?"
He heaves a breath as he surveys the sunrise. "Bit of jet lag as well, I suppose..."
I glance over at him.
We both know that ain’t the whole truth. Just like neither of us are under any illusion that my answer hadn’t been completely honest either. But we've known each other long enough that neither of us feels the need to press the issue.
So, it goes unsaid that I'm fully aware of the fact that Chris' sleepless nights are caused by the looming spectre of the social season, which has been haunting him for the past year. And, with just one day to go, that spectre's about to transform into a living nightmare.
And there's nothing that either of us can do about it.
Because the die has been cast — by forces outside of our control — and both of us are now stuck on the proverbial highway to hell with no exit ramps in sight.
And I hate that feeling of helplessness. Not just on my part — though it grates on me no end that I can't save my brother from his predetermined fate — but on his part as well. Because even though Chris wears the mask of obligation like a second skin, he can't hide the fact that he's shitting a brick.
At least not from me.
Because despite all his years of diplomacy training, we've played enough poker together for me to know that behind that stoic façade, he's terrified. Terrified of the weight of his inherited duty, terrified of falling short of expectations, terrified of ending up on the same error-ridden path that his dad had trod.
But, most importantly, he's terrified of making the wrong choice. Because even though he knows each and every one of the suitors who'll be competing for his hand, that knowledge doesn't make things easier.
In fact, just the opposite.
Because regardless of what each woman brings to the table in terms of money, ability, or allegiances — a dizzying and convoluted cost-benefit calculation at the best of times — the fact remains that none of them are really in this competition for him. They're in it for the Crown. Which means each option's just as relative as the next. As none of the women actually care about Chris. They just want the title of Queen. Or rather, their families do. For the bragging rights.
Except maybe Livy. She's arguably the only suitor who's putting her name in the hat because she actually wants Chris for himself. And couldn't care less about the social promotion.
Too bad she's a class A bitch.
Not that any of that matters. Because the hunt for the next Queen isn't about love, or what people want, or any of the rest of that touchy-feely crap. It's about what's best for the kingdom...
...irrespective of what's best for Chris. Now, tomorrow, or twenty years down the line.
As he's just as much of a pawn — if not more so — as the women competing for his hand. And unlike Leo, he doesn't have the luxury of flipping the system the bird and calling bull on the whole fucked up exercise. Because there’s no one else to fall back on. It’s him, or nothing.
So, it's small wonder he's been burning the candle at both ends, trying to avoid being alone with the weight of his thoughts.
Hell, if I was him, I'd've disappeared down the neck of a bottle long ago.
As if reading my mind, Chris magics up a a pair of tumblers. "Here," he says, placing them down between us. "You look like you need it."
A scoff escapes me. "Didn't think they had a bar up here."
"Invitation only," he winks, unscrewing the cap of the 25-year old, single malt bottle of The Glenlivet that he's also brought with him.
"Comes well stocked, I see," I remark, watching him dole out a generous serving into each glass.
"Well, someone once told me to never cheap out on wallets, watches, or whiskey," he replies with a smirk, placing the bottle off to one side.
I shake my head with a scoff as I reach for my glass. "Yeah, 'cause the first holds your money, the second tells you the time... and the third'll help you forget about both."
"Truer words have never been spoken," grins Chris, raising his glass to clink it against mine.
"Dad knew a thing or two about life," I agree, throwing the scotch back on a suddenly constricted throat.
"He was a good man," nods Chris, taking a reciprocal sip of his drink.
"Yeah..." I say tightly, gazing out over the city without really seeing it. "He was."
Wonder what he'd think of Harper...
I give myself a mental slap. It doesn't fucking matter, you ass. That girl's history, just like Dad. No point getting hung up on—
"You know..." muses Chris, interrupting my self-flagellation. "We never got to see Times Square."
I snort caustically as I reach for the bottle again. "Because Besnard conspired with the weather to fuck us over..."
Chris quirks a brow as he holds his own glass out for a top-up. "I'm not certain it was entirely intentional..."
"You sure?" I counter with a sidelong look, refilling both tumblers. "'Cause I'd be damn hard pressed to find another dipshit on this planet who could've screwed up something so simple so spectacularly."
"Fair point," Chris concedes with a chuckle. "But, lucky for us, both Tariq and the malignant rain clouds are — rather thankfully — in the wind. So, what say we take advantage of the reprieve? Just the two of us?"
My hand stops mid-air. "You wanna sneak out? Again?"
He meets my eye with a knowing look. "May very well be our last chance before the start of the season..."
I shake my head dryly as I place the bottle back on the ledge. "Thought I was supposed to be the bad influence."
"Perhaps the student has finally surpassed the master," he replies, throwing me another wink as he raises his glass up in mock salute.
I can't help but scoff. "With that disappearing act, I'd say you've surpassed even your brother!"
"That may perhaps be a bit of a stretch," he chides. "As we cannot forget that it was my dear brother who once skipped out of a high-profile summit in Marrakech, commandeered a camel and a kaftan, and rode for six hours through the desert so he could watch the Dakar Rally."
"Yeah, that Lawrence of Arabia shit does set the bar quite high, doesn't it?"
"Leo has never been one to do things by halves..." Chris reminds me.
I heave a breath. "Don't I know it..."
Chris catches my gaze out of the corner of his eye. "Hope you weren't too harsh with him..."
I lift the tumbler to my mouth. "No comment."
"Christ! That bad, huh?"
"I may have questioned his sanity," I tell him sardonically.
"You certainly wouldn't have been the first," laughs Chris. "Father seriously considered sending him to a clinic in Switzerland when Leo told him of his plan to abdicate."
"Would've saved me a massive headache if he had..." I grumble.
"No... it was my fault," sighs Chris. "I should not have taken the device. I did promise that I would behave, and I reneged on my word."
I hold up a hand. "Hey. It's fine. I get why Leo gave it to you... and why you took it. Just... Don't get any ideas for the season. I'd prefer to keep my job... and my balls."
Chris laughs. "Duly noted. However, I would still like to take the opportunity to offset my regrettable faux pas... Perhaps with a traditional American breakfast?"
I cock a brow at him. "Do you even know what a traditional American breakfast is?"
"No," he admits. "But what better way to find out than in the company of a local?"
"Okay, fine," I concede, throwing the last of my scotch back. "But you better not skip out on me again..."
"You have my undying word," he says, laying a hand on his heart.
"Good," I say, pointing a finger at him. "'Cause this time, I'm gonna hold you to it." Softening my expression, I add, "But seriously. Glad you had a chance to escape. Christ knows you needed it."
"As do I," he says with a smile, picking up the bottle of scotch to head back across the roof. "So, thank you for pulling this getaway together. I'll treasure the memories — always."
"The trip ain't over yet, buddy," I remind him. "We still have three hours to kill before departure."
He grins back at me. "Then we best get to it, hadn't we, mate?"
