Come Back To Me
final part (I think)!
Tumblr media
You feel like a teenager in love again over the next few weeks. You guys will make eye contact on one of your dates and look away blushing and giggling. It’s May 5th and shes sitting in your place as you get ready to go back up to Boston briefly for your graduation ceremony.
“Ok ok final thing Jules do I wear this white dress or this one to graduation.” You ask holding up one dress that’s got a nearly fully cut out back and then another more casual sundress.
She looks up from folding the clothes you had just throw into your backpack. “I don’t want anyone seeing you in that one side for me” she cheekily smirks gesturing at the more risqué of the two.
You roll your eyes and throw the other one in the direction of the backpack. “Thanks for helping me pack though!” you mention.
“Well clearly if I had left you to your own devices all of these would be all wrinkled by the time you get to Boston.” She teases folding the dress.
You guys order pizza and watch a movie. You’re currently acting like “The Quiet Place” isn’t terrifying you half to death. “I think we should probably go to bed” you smile as an excuse.
Julien looks at the clock “shit it is kinda late and you have the flight tmrw which you probs don’t wanna be exhausted for.” She settles onto the couch expecting you to go to your bedroom.
You want her in your bed- not for anything dirty but you missed cuddling up to her and waking up to her big brown eyes. But you also didn’t wanna overstep what if she still just liked hanging around casually. Eventually after internally debating you bite the bullet “you can sleep in the bed with me only if you want just things couch is like literal cardboard” you ramble.
Her eyes light up “really!?”
“Yeah!”
You both travel up to your bedroom and Julien goes to the left side instinctually- it had always been her side. And you were happy to let her take it.
You lay down as well gently touching her to make sure she’s ok with cuddling. She notices and giggles pulling you to her chest “cmere you weirdo.”
You feel so safe so secure and it just feels like this is where you’re meant to be. You still do miss the feeling of saying “my girlfriend or my partner.” But you don’t want to push it.
Soon you both fall asleep nestled in each others arms.
The next day after some breakfast and cuddling she has to leave and you have a flight to catch. “I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it hon I wish I could” she says for the 100th time apologetically.
“It’s fine genuinely- I’ll be back in like 3-4 days ok!”
After some more apologizing and reassuring you both part ways.
That evening as you load onto the plane you feel good- you feel like the main character at the end of a movie entering a new chapter of your life. This feeling carries over into the next day as you and your friends sit in crimson red listening to the different speeches. You had done it. No more school or university. You felt a pang of sadness and fear about truly being out on your own. But then you realized you weren’t out on your own…you could have your life partner at the tips of your fingers again. Eventually you start to line up to walk across- a huge smile on your face.
As they call your name- you can hear the distinct voices of your family and then you hear a shout from that same row. Julien. Your jaw drops. This woman. You also knew that you had to reserve the tickets weeks in advance so it wasn’t a last minute thing. You feel your eyes tear up probably from the sheer surprise but you tell yourself no crying.
After it finishes you briefly chat and take pictures with your friends before darting around to find your family (AKA Julien). You feel a behind hug and you know those arms. You fawn into the tattooed woman and just smile and make small talk with your family. Finally you two get alone time.
“You little liar” you laugh narrowing your eyes.
“I’m so so proud of you.” She responds ignoring your teasing remark. “God you’re gonna do great things I am just so honored to know you.”
“You and your words you are a weapon.” You try not to cry.
“Here I also got you something” she’s holding a little box.
You open it. It’s a necklace. The necklace she had given you YEARS ago when she asked you to be her girlfriend the first time. She smiles at your reaction. “You know what I’m gonna ask you. Will you please do the honor of being my girlfriend again. My beautiful amazing girl.”
“Yes yes yes” you croak out and she lifts you into a hug. “Really?” She beams.
“Yes of course 1000x yes.” She clasps the necklace around your neck giving your neck a little kiss while she’s at it.
“I can’t believe you kept this while we were apart.” You say after a bit.
“I knew you’d come back to me.”

Regarding that music reblog can u drop some music recommendations 🙏🙏🙏
ABSOLUTELY I LOVE THIS QUESTION the day has finally come when someone has asked me for music recs 🤞🤞 (i didn't know what to start with so ur gonna get a bunch of random artists i like)
also if anyone wants to ask for recs for anything at all (like books, fics, writers, etc.) pls ask!! i love sharing 🥳
beabadoobee — i love love love her new album this is how tomorrow goes, its 10/10 and every time she makes rock music adjacent she never fails to eat down and devour. my recs for her are beaches, take a bite, cologne, talk and ripples because they all have a sort of nostalgic vibe. like they're somehow so familiar even though you've never heard them before. i love beabadoobee she's so good at what she does.
hozier — okay i know he's lowkey middle aged woman core but his lyricism AND production are literally unmatched i get why the lesbians love him. I'd recommend dinner and diatribes, jackie and wilson, northern attitude (by noah kahan ft hozier), angel of small death and the codeine scene and movement 🙏 his music makes me absolutely ascend to a different plane of existence.
laufey — call me a basic asian all you want but laufey synthesises older jazz/classical sound with modern lyricism and structure and creates something so beautiful i love her so much and i regret missing out on her concert tickets every day. i love love love night light, must be love, let you break my heart again, dreamer and lovesick, all her instrumentals never miss. her songwriting is also top notch and gives young, dumb and in love energy ykwim 😍
taylor swift — HEAR ME OUT her new album specifically the anthology half of ttpd has like no skips and i will die on this hill. her older music is good too but i am here to talk about the anthology. the anthology has 10/10 songwriting and minimal production which makes the lyrics stand out more and i love it. i'd recommend the black dog, the prophecy, how did it end and peter because they make me want to scream and cry tbh. also good inspo for fic writing LOL
billie eilish — i have been a fan of hers since my emo phase in 2018 and i can confirm that finneas' production is genius. honestly i recommend the entirety of hit me hard and soft because it was meant to be listened to continuously with all the melodic motifs and lyrical motifs but yeah. also no time to die was a cultural shift that changed my brains hardwiring.
chase atlantic — okay wild 360 from billie eilish and soft ballads (and this artist has lowkey been ruined for me by a certain someone..) but they do have bangers 🎉 i love heaven and back, right here, die for me and dancer in the dark, their music is really sexual though so uh parental guidance 🤞
the neighbourhood — i love love love the vibe of their discography and even though their music might be counted as "tiktok" music because of some of their popular songs they're still so good. I recommend reflections, compass, devil's advocate and stargazing. introspective kinda vibes with their music yk.
the arctic monkeys — I LOVE THEM AND i regret not going to their tour every single hour. alex turner might be a grandpa but i love his accent in his songs and the production is literally liquid gold. pls listen to stop the world i wanna get off with you, snap out of it, fluorescent adolescent, you're so dark, one for the road, and honestly their entire AM album. It's their most popular for a good reason i fear.
i feel like i've rambled way too much but i do have more if you'd like. can you tell i'm a mainstream music kinda person with a couple less popular artists 😭😭 ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR ASKING I LOVE SHARING MUSIC AND DISCUSSING MUSIC ITS THAT INNER MUSIC NERD WITHIN ME if you'd like classical music recs however i'd be too scared to say anything at fear of invoking the wrath of my other classically trained musicians

So, that's it. The trip to korea. The stop at paris. I mean, I feel stupid and very childish being upset about not knowing any of this, but hey, I used to tell her everything and I was silly thinking it was both ways. Like I usually am. I'm always trying to make sure people are in. That I'm safe. Oh, I need to vent, I'll talk to her. Oh, I'm doing something, I'll talk to her, oh why don't I invite her even though she'll probably say no. Oh, why don't I offer my help to this problem? It's my fault, yet, it sucks. And that's her new best friend and a life I'm not a part of, cause she simply never cared to include me. Yeah, it's her right, and I shouldn't care either if i wasn't so messed in my attachments. I feel like a kid really. I'm envious. I wish I was the coolest one, the one in paris, the one people admire. This sucks, being like that. I feel I'm kinda poisonous and always demanding a lot and getting hurt and being sensitive and maybe people don't like me all that much for that, I wouldn't blame them.
I told her since day one, "Oh, we're planning to go to europe like 8 months from now." I get silence. Even after I brought this subject up, all she could say was, "I'm sorry, I don't even know what to say," and it didn't change anything. It never does, in my experience. The more open about my feelings I am, the more people feel entitled to walk away, which is weird.
I'm not completely shattered this time, though, which is kinda nice if I force myself to look at that angle. That must mean some progress. I'm kinda letting go even though it still affects me, but it's way less intense. I made peace with the judging part and I guess it's fine to understand what it is doing, actually trying to protect me by thinking she's a bitch sometimes, and her mother dying has nothing to do with the fact she chose to pull away. She chose that. That's what gets me, maybe. She had the choice, and that's her decision. She's investing in other people like I don't matter, and I really dont. I'm the one to have to keep these people around me, and try harder to make things better when they let me down, so I'm making them important, but maybe they aren't. Maybe they frustrate me cause it just gives me so much work and no rewards. In the end she found someone who offered her more (plane tickets) and that's great for her, and now she's putting her energy there. I shouldn't make her so important. It's been bugging me for ages actually, we're in different places. I'm reaching for getting better at something everyday, she's negative and pessimist and unmoved and not willing to try. I don't wanna be stuck there. I can't take her to paris either. If I detach from my emotions, I think it's great she found a friend that can give her something nice after everything she went through, I do. Unfortunately, it sucks for my side of things.
It's fine, I'm slowly learning I don't need her or anyone else. I'll survive. I'll move on eventually. I can do things by myself. I don't always have to compromise to keep people around. Have a nice trip, you phony friend.

if requests r open can we get jackass .. even though ya girl only cares for pontius .. + taking a vacation together ? pls and thank u!
Tumblr media
A/N: i know i apologize every time i end up posting but i promise i do feel bad for not getting through these requests!! please know i lov everyone who interacts with my silly works :”)
EDIT: just noticed my messed up warnings! sorry about that!
warnings: slightly suggestive, pet names (babe, baby), blood & alcohol mentions
Tumblr media Tumblr media
JOHNNY KNOXVILLE
as much as he loves being on set
he is ecstatic when you mention wanting to go on a vacation with him for an anniversary
johnny’s all over it
he’s figuring out when, where, how and down to the smallest of details
he doesn’t really care where you two go though, he’s mainly focused on the fact he’s going with you
if you’re going somewhere hot then you two are going to the beach as often as possible
mainly because he says you look so beautiful in the sun
but so he has an excuse to be public ally affectionate with you
you need sunscreen on anywhere? he’s snatching the bottle and lathering you up
STEVE-O
it’s meant to be a vacation but if steve-o finds an opportunity for a cool video, he’s doing it
he’d probably be the one to plan the trip as he’s obviously got so much experience under his belt from wild boyz
steve-o’s very happy to hear that you wanted to take a trip with him in the first place
in the time leading up to it, he’s tending you how happy he is
“i’m so gals we’ll get to go away together, babe,”
“steve, baby, it’s not for another three months?”
“i know, i’m just excited.”
if you tried to go out to bars with him, you better watch him because he might be on a damn table professing his love for you after a few shots
which is sweet but you’d rather not get arrested on a vacation
you don’t but, the thought is always on your mind
CHRIS PONTIUS
this trip is 100% spontaneous
you mentioned wanting to visit somewhere and suddenly it’s booked and you’re flying out the next day
chris is giddy the whole way there
if you’re taking a plane, he’s trying to join the mile high club with you
your neck and any exposed skin is covered in marks because you had to keep shooing him away
he’s kinda like steve-o in the way that you need to watch him around bars because he’s getting up on a table and professing his love
chris is also doing that anywhere he can, drunk or not
you’re in a hotel lobby? he’s telling the receptionist how madly in love you guys are
you had to beg him to not take his speedos but, lo and behold, there’s one
BAM MARGERA
another impulsive man
not as much as chris though
you would mention a few places and he’d plan it on a week where he definitely should be on set
“bam, you can’t just blow off shooting because i told you i was sad.”
“yes i can. plus, i already bought us tickets to go somewhere,”
if there was a stunt he didn’t wanna do? he’s throwing you in a car and deciding on what state near you two to visit
on an actual vacation with him though, he’s very doting
you don’t feel like carrying your bag? he’s slinging it over his shoulder even if he’s carrying literally everything else
you need help putting on sunscreen? the bottle is out of your hands in seconds before he’s rubbing it in your skin
RYAN DUNN
any time he has off he’s trying to take a vacation with you
especially to beachy places
despite his resistance to water, something about being with you and the ocean calms his mind
most vacations are planned around shooting but if your anniversary falls on a day he’s meant shooting, it’s not happening
you guys would be half way to your destination before he tells anyone though
ryan gets a good laugh outta everyone’s reactions
if you’re comfortable with it, you two are sneaking into a beach at night
probably a cute lil picnic under the stars and then laying on a blanket as you watch the sky
ryan’s carrying you and everything you two brought back to where you’re staying once you’re worn out
he’s also especially doting on vacations because he feels so tender at the alone time with you
DANGER EHREN
he’s taking you somewhere cold for a vacation
but don’t worry, you can use this as an excuse to hang off him like a koala
ehren’s responsible enough to make sure the weather isn’t too bad where you two would be going
he’s hate to ruin a vacation just because the weather is shitty
even if it was though, you’re happy to spend any alone time with him
if you’re more for a warmer vacation, he’s not opposed whatsoever
he just knows you get a kick out of stealing his warmth in colder climates
ehren’s trying to buy you anything you show slight interest in on vacation
keep an eye on him or he might go into debt because w you said some fancy french dress was cute
DAVE ENGLAND
another man who takes you somewhere cold
aims for a place he can snowboard just so he can impress you
of course, once he tries to do that he face plants into a snowbank
you’re quick to run and help even if you felt like you should i be doubled over in laughter
dave’s a little bloody so you gotta take him back to where you’re staying and clean him up
a prime opportunity for him to keep you close
obviously in sake of ‘keeping warm’ despite knowing either of you could crank the heat up
you’ll take pity as he did just face plant in your name

By My Side (Part 9)
Tumblr media
Summary: The reader and Jensen have a relaxing afternoon where they discuss their future with one another...
Masterlist
Pairing: Bodyguard!Jensen x reader
Word Count: 2,000ish
Warnings: language
A/N: Please enjoy the final part! I had a lot of fun with this series!
_________
One Month Later
“Hey Mikey,” you called from the hammock you were sharing with Jensen in the backyard. He popped his head up from one of the patio loungers, his head deep in a legal brief. “Don’t you have a date tonight?”
“She’s coming over later for the party,” he said, going back to work.
“Did you clear that with head of security?” asked Jensen.
“Head of security can suck my dick,” said Michael as he flipped a page.
“Suck your own. I set you up on this date you know,” you said.
“Ah, this is what I missed,” said your dad as he sat at the table playing a game of chess against Chuck.
“If you can imagine they were worse as teenagers,” said Chuck, moving a piece. “You were planning to have more, weren’t you?”
“We were discussing it. Y/N kept asking for siblings,” he said. “Glad she found some.”
“They never got on very well until recently,” said Chuck.
“Dysfunctional family is kind of our thing,” said Michael, reviewing another paper. Your mom took a sip of her drink, giving Brian a smile. You saw him go to hold her hand under the table but he hesitated, your mom taking his anyways. She rested her feet over Chuck’s lap and you shook your head. 
“They’re so loud,” you mumbled to Jensen. You curled into his chest and he gave your waist a light squeeze.
“They’re alright,” he murmured against your neck. “Wait until you meet my family.”
“God I hope they aren’t crazy like mine,” you said.
“No one’s quite at that level,” he chuckled. “They’re not crazy. Just...odd.”
“Your family or mine?”
“Probably both,” he said. “Want to go for a walk before the party?”
“Sure,” you said. You both rolled out of the hammock and said you’d be back soon, Jensen taking your hand as you walked to the front of the house. A car pulled up at the new gate and you let it in, smiling as you saw Nick and his friend climb out of the car.
“How was the flight?” you asked as he stretched out.
“Good. This is Spencer. Spence, Y/N and her boyfriend bodyguard, Jensen,” said Nick. 
“Nice meeting you guys,” he said. “Nick says you’re why Y/N’s dad is back in the picture?”
“Something like that,” said Jensen. “We’re gonna take a quick walk but feel free to show Spencer around the house or take a dip in the pool.”
“We’ll start cooking in about an hour but snack on whatever you like,” you said. You and Jensen gave them a quick wave before you were walking down the street, Doug whistling from his driveway.
“You two kids staying out of trouble?” he asked.
“Only the bad kind,” said Jensen. “See you and the girls at the party in a bit.”
You hummed as you walked, Jensen squeezing your hand when a car went past.
“Your bodyguard rules are a tad conflicting you know,” you said, smiling at him. “Put you between me and a vehicle but if we’re walking on a city street, put myself closer to the street and you closer to alleyways.”
“Not confusing at all. You stay away from the danger,” he said. “I let you slide on some stuff.”
“I have sex with you, Ackles.”
“I know and I wanna keep doing that so I let you slide,” he teased. He bopped your nose and you laughed, slowing down a bit as you hit the quiet stretch of road with lots of trees around. “I was talking to Chuck earlier. He no longer hates me.”
“See? I told you he’d come around.”
“Strong disdain was now in play,” said Jensen. “I still can’t believe I fucked up like that.”
“Well first off, Chuck doesn’t have the high and mighty card to play. His own sons thought for a split second he was capable. Even mom.”
“How’d the family therapy session go this week?” he asked.
“Okay. The boys all cried. Mom and I aren’t gonna go unless they ask us to anymore. Everyone seems okay,” you said.
“Your dad and Chuck are getting along pretty good now,” he said. 
“I don’t know what those three are going to do, honestly. She loves them both still.”
“Sometimes love isn’t enough,” said Jensen.
“I disagree with that sentiment. Sometimes you have to choose if love is more important than other things, things that might be just as vital as love. But I don’t agree that loving someone alone isn’t enough,” you said.
“Quite a hopeless romantic you are,” he said. He threw his arm over your shoulders and kissed the top of your head. “Anyone in particular you’re loving these days?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” you said with a shrug. Your face felt hot, Jensen slowing his walk to almost a crawl. 
“I’m not afraid of you running off on me,” he said. “Not after everything.”
“Good cause you’re important to me,” you said. 
“That what we’re calling it?” he said, your arm sliding around his back, hand settling on his waist. 
“Shut up,” you said, resting your head against his shoulder. You snuggled him for a brief moment before you started walking again, Jensen’s hand grazing your cheek. 
“You’re important to me too,” he said quietly. 
“Okay,” you said. You smiled and you both moved your arms so you could go back to holding hands, Jensen taking his baseball cap off his head and putting it on backwards on your own.
“Can I tell you about what happened to me sometime?” he asked. You turned your head towards him, Jensen shrugging. “You know...the not so great stuff with Hall and all that.”
“Always. I’d never tell a soul,” you said.
“It’s probably not as horrible as whatever you’ve dreamed up in your head,” he said. “But I don’t want you to worry about it anymore. I’m not so scared of you changing your mind about me if you hear it now.”
“I just want to be able to help you the way you’ve helped me,” you said. “That’s what we do.”
“True. I’m still your bodyguard though,” he chuckled.
“Yeah but that’s like an assumed role with you being my boyfriend anyways. I feel like you’ll always be my bodyguard,” you said.
“Always?” he asked. “Always doesn’t sound so bad.”
“You know what I mean,” you said.
“I know,” he said. “A man can dream though.”
“When we met, what was your gut reaction?” 
“Within half an hour of meeting you, I wanted to quit. I knew...I knew there was this something that I don’t know what it was, it just really wanted to know you and make sure you stayed safe. I didn’t think I could do both effectively.”
“So we were both a bit mean to hide things.”
“Well, you are kinda a sassy client. You don’t always listen to me like the time you nearly got a concussion,” he said, bumping your shoulder with a laugh.
“Excuse me but I escaped, not you, and I saved your perky little ass,” you said.
“Oh so you did notice it’s perky,” he said. You rolled your eyes but giggled, Jensen kissing your temple again. “Maybe you can be my bodyguard too.”
“That sounds fun,” you said. “I’m not wearing a suit though.”
“You could just wear what I do.”
“One of your shirts?”
“Yeah, just that’s good,” he said, chuckling as you lightly smacked his chest. “To be honest, I hate the suits. I prefer the laid back look.”
“I prefer anything where I get to see more skin,” you said. “But that does bring up a point I wanted to talk to you about.”
“Yes?”
“If I wanted you to stay on as a bodyguard...for like work and events moreso cause at home I think boyfriend Jensen could handle that job, would you still work for me?” you asked.
“I’d do it for free,” he said. You cocked your head and he shrugged. “I’m serious.”
“Well I’m still gonna pay you. I just wasn’t sure if you wanted something more...exciting,” you said.
“I’m good with quiet. You still have your fair share of crazies out there. Like the stalker guy,” he said, your eyes wide. “I’m joking.”
“Why do I feel like you’re not?” you asked.
“Don’t worry about it,” he said. “You’re safe.”
“Never thought I wasn’t,” you said. “Jensen.”
“Yes?”
“Do you want to get away this weekend? Somewhere quiet before I start filming my movie next month?” you asked.
“Yeah. I’d like that,” he said. “After our epic party tonight of course.”
“It’s not gonna be epic,” you said. “It’s like fifty people max.”
“No, it’ll be epic,” he said. “Cause I got you a present you’re gonna love.”
“Tease. What is it?”
“If you must know,” he said as he pulled out his phone. He handed it to you and tapped the screen, scrolling for a minute before he got where he wanted.
“Plane tickets? For tomorrow to the Maldives?” you asked. “How...Jensen you can’t afford this. You have to let me pay for-”
“Oh, honey. I haven’t paid my own rent, utilities, food in a very long time. That plus these hot shot hollywood types and their fancy contracts? I’m better off than you think I am,” he said. “You like, legit saved my life and made me as happy as I’ve ever been and I just want to take my girl on vacation to a place she’s always wanted to go.”
“Fine but only cause I really want to go with you,” you said. 
“I knew I’d win you over,” he said.
“You did that a while ago,” you said, a guy walking past on the other side of the street. Jensen took his phone back and glanced over his shoulder once he was gone. “A pap again?”
“Yup,” he said, sending a text off to Jake. “Oh wait. I forgot to do my favorite part.”
He turned around with you and let out a loud whistle, the guy spinning around.
“You do know last guy we caught in the neighborhood we got arrested, right?” called out Jensen. The man paused but kept staring. “I see one photo or your ass around again, we’re gonna have problems.”
“He’s really a sweetheart!” you said. “Probably want to get out of here before we come back around though. He’s a tad protective.”
The man walked a bit faster, Jensen chuckling as you both watched him slip in a car and head for the entrance out of the neighborhood.
“Ah, I love doing that,” he said. “I am a sweetheart, aren’t I.”
“Yes, yes you are,” you said. He squeezed your hand and you looked around, not spotting anything out of the ordinary. “What?”
“That one’s just for me,” he said. He kissed your lips, pulling back with a big smile. You kissed his cheek, breaking off and kissing his lips, cupping his face. 
“That one’s for me,” you said.
“Better do it again, just in case,” he said.
“Whatever you say, Mr. Bodyguard.”

Dancing with Strangers
Ok here’s part 2 I guess, this is a bit longer than the first one, I was listening to the playlist again and kinda got into the zone. This chapter is where things get a little hotter but theres no sexy time still...I don’t know do you guys want that? Do you want more plot? I don’t know how long I wanna make this story guess I’ll leave it up to you guys so let me know what you think. Also the image included is one I drew digitally from a template found on Pinterest, if you repost or use it please give just mention me :)
Warnings: swearing in this one, very suggestive behaviour and language, nothing to spicy
Like to Part 1 here-https://egyptsblackrose.tumblr.com/post/648370506842701824/dancing-with-strangers-ok-so-theres-a-playlist
Part 2-
You were grinning from ear to ear, a gentle happy buzz fizzing under your skin as you entered the heat of the club your friends insisted was the best in town. Been an exchange student in a very different country like Japan could have been a scary experience for anyone, but you had actually spend some of your young life living in Hiroshima and made life long friends, 2 of which were currently pulling on your hands to lead you to the bar as they laughed loudly. Japanese was your second language, one you adored and had kept practicing through the years, and when the chance came to study at the same uni as your best friends for your final year, you couldn’t buy the plane ticket fast enough!
“Y/N! What are you drinking?!” Miku shouted to you over the music, Sakura already flirting with the barman.
“Same as before, just a vodka and coke please Mi-Mi.” She nodded and turned to Sakura, yelling at her to order the drinks already. You couldn’t help but smile and shake your head at your friends antics. They never seemed to change, no matter how many years passed.
Taking a look around the club, you was somewhat relieved that the crowd on the dance floor wasn’t too crazy. You could hold your liquor pretty well, hence why you weren’t as effected as the others in your group, and you didn’t want to loose people in the crowd.
A sudden shiver took over your body, heat stroking your skin like a touch, trailing over your form. Not so surprising, people were often surprised to see a foreigner in the clubs, so you brushed it off. Taking the drink Miku had bought you for her round, your group cheered and took a drink. As “Such a Whore” finished, you and your friends cheered as “Sexy chick” began, quickly finishing your drinks and heading to the dance floor.
———
Blue and black eyes roamed the foreign beauty with no attempt at hiding their interest. She was stunning; her lush hair shimmering in the flashing lights and flowing with every move she made, dressed in something skin tight and pretty to show off her curves but not too revealing and flashy, make-up made to look natural and only flatter her already pretty features. Her body rolled in controlled rhythms to match the beat, her feet shuffling. God she was a sight for sore eyes.
Her face lit up as she and the group surrounding her recognised the beginning of “Lights down low”. Then the real show began. It was like she rehearsed the dance before, singing along to the sinful words. Gojo licked his bottom lip slowly, his blue eyes glued to the way she threw her head back and grinned cheekily at no one. Kakashi couldn’t stop staring at how her hips snapped and thrust like she was acting out the song from both male and female perspectives, his hand tightening dangerously on the glass bottle now finished in his hand. Images of possibilities filled their minds.
“Damn,” Gojo sighed almost to himself.
Kakashi nodded in agreement anyway. “Please tell me you don’t want her for yourself.”
Gojo grin was devilish. “Now where’s the fun in that?” He chuckled, passing his brother another beer he’d just bought, sipping as the foreign beauty dancing like a damn belly dancer to “Culo”. “Do you wanna try make the first move this time?”
The other white haired male shook his head. “Wouldn’t want to risk loosing this one.” Gojo patted his back good natured lay. He was proud of how far his best friend had come in his confidence and prowess, but he knew he had a way to go yet.
“I know what you mean though pal, what a catch.” His blue eyes narrowed at some men clearly eye-fucking you. “I’m gonna make our play before one of those wolves takes a bite.” Kakashi levelled the group was a fierce glare of his own, nodding in approval. This was their hunting ground after all, others had to wait their turn and take the scraps.
Handing his half empty bottle to his still glaring friend, Gojo gracefully weaved through the crowd, gently easing past the many women trying to dance with him. He was determined, his goal set, eyes locked on you.
Tumblr media
Your friends span you, making you laugh, but you paused for a second to grin as “Promiscuous” opened up. What you hadn’t expected was a very hot, very pleasant voice to gently sing the beginning “How you doing young lady,” into your ear.
Surprised, you turned only to pause as the most amazing blue eyes you’d ever seen pierced through your gaze and stared right at your soul. Your cheeks heated as the man grinned, pleased at your staring and continued his singing. Blinking to clear your mind from the surprise and shock that a damn MODEL was hitting on you, you began singing too.
“You expect me to just let you hit it, but will you still respect me if you get it.” Your tone held a warning in there somewhere, wether he picked up on it over the volume was another matter. The white haired beauty before you laughed cheerfully, smoothly taking your hand and spinning you to face away from him, before pulling you back so you were pressed up to him.
“I’m curious about you, you seem so innocent.” He teased, hands squeezing your hips. You didn’t even pause, singing the reply but focused more on moving your body to the beat, and into his. “Promiscuous girl, your teasing me. You know what I want, and I got what you need.” He growled in your ear, causing your spine and insides to shudder in delight. You tilted your head back and laughed, only hitting his chest. God this guys tall.
You dipped to the floor and brought yourself up elegantly against him, now facing the dazzling stranger with a teasing grin of your own. “I’m a big girl I can handle myself, but if I get lonely imma need your help. Pay attention to me, I don’t talk for my health.”
The male’s grin turned hungry, his large hands dragging up the side of your body from your hip, tracing your collarbone, before wrapping his hand around your throat. There was no pressure, he just rested his big hand there, engulfing your neck easily, making you look at him as he bit his lip. “The names Gojo Satoru, and you beautiful, can call me Sensei.”
“My names L/N Y/N, not beautiful, flattery only gets you so far...onii-san.” You smirked back as the song changed to “Where have you been”.
Gojo smiled genuinely, letting out a long hum of amusement. “Then let me start by buying you a drink beautiful, I left my brother all alone at the bar just to try talk to you.”
Laughing, you raised a brow. “Talk? Yeah right. I’m sorry but I’m out with my friends, and I don’t want to leave them, I’m the most sober one after all-”
“Of course she’ll have a drink!” Miku all but screamed excitedly. You turned to her with a frown, opening your mouth to refuse, but she grabbed your arm and whispered loudly in your ear. “He’s Gojo Satoru, and his friend is Kakashi Hatake! They’re like small time celebs around here, they’re both hot as fuck and close. Like REALLY close, they only ever take a girl home who they both want, they know what the fuck they're doing too and they’re policemen! Trust me, go with them and thank me later! I’ll see you tomorrow!”
Miku all but pushed you into Gojo waiting arms, the male chuckling charmingly at the scene. You watched as your group of friends gave you thumbs up and shooed you away, Sakura and Miku blowing you kisses and winks. “What the?”
“So, what can I get you beautiful?” Gojo purred in your ear to distract you, his arm wrapping comfortably around your shoulders and leading you back to Kakashi who had ordered another drink, and was straightening out his shirt and hair out of nervousness. “Don’t worry, just one drink, anything you want and if your not having fun by the end of it, then I’ll escort you back to your friends myself.”
You bit your lip, about to glance back at your friends to check on them, when another handsome white haired male gently smiled at you, with stunning black eyes, an adorable beauty mark on his chin, a dangerous scar over one eye and a perfect jawline. “One drink wont hurt then, I guess.” You replied, almost shyly as you stood between both men, leaning against the bar.
One drink turned into four, and they were not drunk quick ether. You had lost track of time and songs playing as Gojo and Kakashi bantered easily, always keeping you involved and centre of attention. You were beyond grateful that you could hold your liqueur and hadn’t being going crazy like your friends, it made it easy to follow along with the conversation. You were quick to pitch in effortlessly with cheeky and teasing remarks that had the 2 men both in stitches with laughter, and enamoured with you all at once. Most women were happy to sit and giggle, focus on looking pretty and flirt with suggestive touching, not really focus on what they were saying. You were intelligent, modest and sweet with undertones of naughty delight. It excited both men more than anything had in a while.
When a more suggestive song came through the speakers, Gojo sent Kakashi a discrete look, both leading you to the dance floor after your drinks were finished. Once in their favourite spot, their stage was set to begin the best part of the hunt. This part was more than just seduction, this was about using the music, their words, bodies and heat to turn yours on to the max, until you couldn’t take it anymore. And their favourite spot held just enough cover and darkness to keep all sinful acts a secret.
You inhaled sharply as Gojo’s large hands spread over the front of your thighs, pulling firmly so your back and body were pressed into him, while Kakashi’s rough hands gripped your waist, one of his legs pressing between your own. The two moved in synch perfectly like a well oiled machine, Gojo rolling his body into yours as his feet shuffled. The roll forward would drive you into Kakashi, and more importantly your core onto his firm muscular thigh. The male in front of you would gently shuffle and thrust forward as well, the action meaning there was absolutely no space between you and their hot hard bodies. Their hands would guide and encourage your own dancing, focusing on your hips and slow movements that was driving them just as wild.
You felt like you were melting from the inside out, there was a craving for more deep within you, and it was burning hotter the more they teased. Fingers would lightly graze your breasts and a insincere “sorry” would be breathed into your ear through a smirk, lips would brush your neck, hands would squeeze and tighten their grips at random intervals, keeping you tense and senses focused on them and them alone.
Only when you were a dazed, panting mess did Gojo deem you wooed enough, and Kakashi insisted on getting you another drink. At some point, Gojo had picked you up by your hips as Kakashi had pulled up a bar stool for you, easing it under you. The action was so quick and effortless for both men you couldn’t help but blush, especially as Kakashi kept a hand gently resting on the small of your back, drawing soothing circles there. Gojo’s hand was rested on your thigh as well, like it was nothing, and smirked at you now not hanging to look up so much to meet their eyes.
You stuck your tongue out at him in response. “Careful beautiful, I might just take that tongue if you don’t watch out.” He growled hotly into your ear. Holy-
“I think she’d like that Sato.” Kakashi grinned, groaning the words into your ear. You’d noticed how he’d relaxed more and more as the night went on, becoming a little bolder with you when he saw you weren’t pushing him away or favouring Gojo. The touches were turning less and less innocent or ‘accidental’, and the way they looked at you... Gojo had no shame, staring hungrily at each and every curve, licking his lips hungrily as his hands would skim the line between teasing and inappropriate, working slowly to drive you crazy. His blue eyes drank in every hitch in breath, every shudder, his own patience thinning as he watched your perfect teeth graze your wet lips. Kakashi had a different approach, he wanted the eye contact, he want you to look into his eyes and see he wanted you. “She’s panting, poor thing.”
You hadn’t noticed how your chest was rising and falling rapidly, too busy trying to hide the fact of how turned on you were caught between these gorgeous men. “Your right brother, her thighs are clenching too. What images are forming in that naughty mind of yours beautiful? Care to share? We’d be happy to make them reality, wouldn’t we Hatake?”
The most sinful, hungry groan rumbled through your ear in response as Kakashi stood forward and shielded your body from view of everyone else in the club, sneakily easing a hand up your thigh. Up and up and- you gasped, the single finger making you jump and let out a whimper. “God yes, I want her to make more of those sounds Sato.
“I’ve already called a taxi.” Gojo said lowly, pushing his body into your side so you could feel every hard line and ridge of his toned form, and something poke your arse. “You ready to go beautiful?”
All you could do was nod, too afraid of how desperate you’d sound if you tried to speak. Downing the rest of your drinks, you squeaked as Kakashi eased you off the stool and immediately directed you towards the exit, Gojo leading the way to the taxi and opening the door for you, both always touching you as your legs wobbled and mind raced.

RAMifications Chapter 10 - So Emotional
Tumblr media
Book: The Royal Romance (AU)
Song Inspiration: So Emotional by Christina Aguilera
Pairings: Liam x MC (Ella)
Characters belong to Pixelberry; MC Ella Brooks belongs to me.
Summary: The entire idea for this came from @burnsoslow​​ and her unBEARable series. RAMifications was born and this is the story of how Ella met the love of her life Prince (and then King) Liam of Cordonia.
Catch up here
Warnings: Angst; some stupid life choices; adult language; sexual talk
Words: 1519
Ella had cried herself to sleep on the floor after the incident with Liam. She had half concocted a stupid plan to leave Cordonia and its Prince in the dust. Suddenly, several knocks sounded on the door, and Max’s voice carried through the thick wood. “Ellaaaaaa! Wake up!! It’s 7 am! We gotta go!”
With a groan, Ella picked herself off the ground and twisted the doorknob to reveal a grinning Maxwell.
“What’s cookin’, good lookin’?” Max studied his new best friend, and his smile faded. “What happened? Did Liam not last long last night?”
Ella rolled both her shoulders back to relieve the pain from sleeping on the floor. She ushered him inside and shut the door behind him. “Yeah, something like that.”
Maxwell’s eyes widened. “It’s because he hasn’t been with anyone for a while! I promise he’s better! There was this one time at a Beaumont Bash, he and this girl got together and maaaaaan the noises coming from that room-”
“Oh my God, Max, stop! I don’t wanna know!” Ella exclaimed as she waved her hands in the air.
“Sorry! Probably TMI. But when you said yes, I really just had to go with it.”
Ella sighed. “Max, you know when you’re watching a horror movie, and the girl’s like ‘Oh my God, there are weird noises in the basement. I’m going to see what’s going on in the dark in my underwear.’ And you’re all yelling at the TV like ‘What. Are. You. Doing?! Call the police!’ And then someone with some sense tells her to call the police, but it’s too late because she’s already pranced downstairs and is getting murdered?”
Max nodded slowly with a curious look on his face. “Umm, yeah, I’ve done that once before. Probably why I don’t watch horror movies!”
Ella chuckled, but there was no joy in it. “Yeah, well … that’s kinda like me in that horror movie.”
“Wait, what? What happened?”
“I … don’t want to talk about it actually,” Ella shook her head. “Are we leaving for Applewood?”
Max eyed her with some skepticism. “Yeah, we’re leaving in about an hour. B told me to come wake you up!”
“I just need to shower and pack my things,” she gestured to her clothes.
“I’ll do it! Just go shower.”
An hour later
Bertrand, Maxwell, and Ella settled in the limo on the way to Applewood. Max nudged Ella with his elbow.
“Hey, who’s Ethan?”
Ella’s eyes widened. “Why?”
“He called your phone like 20 times while you were in the shower,” Max’s eyes widened. “I wasn’t snooping, I promise!”
“I know you weren’t,” she sighed. “He’s the ex that cheated on me in LA. I left without a word, only told my parents where I was going.”
“Another man is vying for your affections?” Bertrand interrupted. “That is not appropriate! Your focus should be the prince!”
“Ethan is nobody,” Ella explained, exasperated. “And the Prince’s focus is clearly on several other women. Why am I even in this competition?!”
“This competition is all about the Prince and Cordonia! I suggest you switch your focus, Lady Ella,” Bertrand said gruffly. “You are representing House Beaumont!”
“Yes, thank you for the reminder.”
Maxwell, always trying to be the peacemaker, chimed in. “Why did you look like you were crying this morning?”
Ella sighed and waited for Bertrand to answer another phone call before answering. “I shouldn’t be here, Max,” she said softly. “This is a very different world that I have no business being part of.”
“You aren’t thinking of leaving, are you?”
There was a long pause before she began to speak. “I already bought my plane ticket.”
Maxwell stared. “Wh-what?!”
Ella flinched. “Shhhh! Keep your voice down,” she hissed as both of them turned to look at Bertrand, who was on the phone, barking out instructions.
“You’re leaving?” Maxwell whisper yelled. “What happened with you and Liam exactly?”
“Well, things were getting pretty … hot and heavy,” Ella felt her neck get hot, and her face flushed red. “And my shirt came off, and he pumped the brakes.” She covered her face with both hands in an attempt to stop herself from crying.
“Okay, that’s … bad,” Max murmured. “But I’m sure he had a good reason! Why don’t you sleep on it? I’m sure you’ll feel better in the morning. We can do a movie night, and I can pierce your ears!”
“Max, my ears are already pierced,” distracted, Ella reached up to touch her friend’s earlobes. “I can pierce yours, though!”
“No, my mom always told me that pierced ears were for whores, pirates, and genies.”
Ella’s brows furrowed. “Wait, what?”
“See, you can’t leave, Ella.”
“He’s got a social season and can’t do anything like that with me. It makes me think that he won’t choose me in the end.”
“I don’t know what to say,” Maxwell cradled his head in his hands.
“Alright, you two, we’re here,” Bertrand interrupted. “Let’s get settled in; we have a lot to prepare for.”
The three of them piled out of the limo and were escorted inside the manor to their rooms. Max sat on Ella’s bed and looked at her with sad eyes.
“Are you going to go back to Ethan?”
Ella’s eyes widened. “What? No! I want nothing to do with that asshole. I don’t want to be embarrassed anymore than I already am. I don’t belong here, Max; I think I made a huge mistake.”
Maxwell stood from the bed and pulled Ella into a hug. “I’m sorry you feel that way,” he pulled back and wiped a tear away with the back of his hand. “What time is your flight?”
“It’s the redeye; it takes off tonight at 11:55 pm,” Ella brushed another tear from her friend’s cheek. “I’m sorry if I let you down.”
“You didn’t,” he sniffled. “I’ll go and set up a car to be ready to take you to the airport.” He gave Ella one last hug and let himself out of the room.
Ella decided to take a small nap before her flight and woke up to see it had gotten dark outside. She was surprised Bertrand hadn’t barged into the room and demanded to do some lessons. Checking her phone quickly for any text messages, and she found a few from Liam.
Liam: Ella
Liam: Ella, please answer me
Liam: I’m sorry about last night, can we talk?
Ella: Okay
Liam: I’ll come by tonight when I arrive.
**
Liam let out a sigh of relief. She’s going to talk to me. Thinking back on last night and why he even backed away from her in the first place made him cringe. He was so stupid. The last few days, he told her how she was her choice, but when it came time to show her, he failed miserably.
“Liam?”
His stepmother’s voice pulled him out of his thoughts. “I apologize, Regina, what did you say?”
“Are you alright? You seem a little … preoccupied.”
“I’m fine, thank you,” he met her gaze and smiled. “I just have a lot on my mind.”
“A lot on your mind, like that California girl?” Constantine interrupted with a scoff, a touch of disdain in his voice. “She might be good for a night, Liam, but she’s no queen.”
Regina’s eyes widened. “Constantine!”
Liam’s eyes narrowed. “You will never speak of her that way, father,” his voice boomed inside the limo as he enunciated every single word. “I don’t care who you are; if you ever talk about her like that again, it will be your last.”
An awkward silence settled as Liam and Constantine stared at each other, willing the other to respond. Finally, Constantine relented. “I … apologize,” he set down his glass of scotch into the ice bucket. “It seems I’ve had too much to drink today.”
The rest of the ride to Applewood was quiet, Regina and Constantine speaking in hushed tones and Liam thumbing absentmindedly through his phone.
**
Ella tossed her phone onto the bed, put her shoes back on, and walked out of the room to get some fresh air. Once outside, she saw an endless amount of trees, flower bushes, and greenery. She wandered through the beautiful gardens and stood in awe in front of a majestic tree that seemed to stretch for miles upward. An apple tree, of course. Ella smirked and tried to grab one, but it was just out of her reach.
“Seems like you need some help,” a deep voice cut through the chilly air as a hand grasped the apple that was hanging above Ella’s head.
“Uh, thanks,” Ella turned to face the mysterious voice and narrowed her eyes to see better in the dark. “Who are you?”
“My name is Tariq.”

Halloween
Charlie Gillespie x Reader
Word Count: 2,097
A/N: I know I haven’t written in a while but this might be my favorite one I’ve written so far. I changed it a bit since misread “bedroom” but I hope you like either way
—————————————————————————
Halloween. The spookiest time of the year. However, for you this was the most wonderful time of the year. Your boyfriend was currently filming the first season of his new show, Julie and the Phantoms.
Halloween is your favorite day of the year and it sucks that you’re supposed to spend it far away from him. You decided to book a flight last minute to surprise him. The only person you told was his roommate and best friend, Owen.
“He’s going to be so excited to see you. He won’t shut about you and hopefully this will stop him for a little while,” Owen says over the phone.
“Haha iI can’t wait to see him and I especially can’t wait to finally meet you in person.” You and Owen have been talking a lot ever since he answered Charlie’s phone when FaceTiming and after Charlie found his phone, you and him exchanged numbers.
“I know FaceTime’s fun and all but now we can bully Charlie together in person” He replies.
“Hey remember he’s still my boyfriend. I can’t be mean to him all the time. I call you when my plane lands, okay?”
“Alright I’ll see you then. But (Y/N)!”
“Bye Owen!”
After what feels like ages you board the plane and a then after 8 hours and 1 stop you finally make it to Vancouver. You take a few moments to collect yourself and then call Owen to let him know you’re here. You grab your stuff from the baggage claim and grab a coffee from Tim Norton’s for a pick me up. Sitting on a plane for a full work shift can really drain the energy out of a person.
It doesn’t take long for you to hear someone call out your name.
“Y/N)!!! Over here!” You turn around and see Owen standing there and you run over and give him a hug.
“Owen! Oh my god!” After a minute you let go and he can’t help but grin at the big smile on your face, the face that Charlie won’t stop talking about. He never misses a moment to tell his co stars about how gorgeous you are and how much he loves your smile.
“Okay so I’m thinking we stop by the apartment and drop your stuff off and then head to set. We’re in the middle of filming but I may have asked Kenny if I could take a break to get something to eat.” You chuckle at that before answering.
“Actually I was wondering if we could just go right to set. I can’t spend another minute without Charlie.”
“Good. I can. So please take him from me.”
You laugh at that and spend the entire car ride counting the moments till you see your boyfriend again.
Owen parks the car and you don’t spare a moment jumping out of the car and running towards the closest door before realizing you have no idea where you're going. You stop and turn waiting for Owen.
“C'mon let’s head to the main stage. That's where they were when I left.” You follow Owen to a group of people.
“Hey guys have you seen Charlie anywhere?”
“No why?”
“This is his girlfriend, (Y/N)! She’s surprising him.”
“Oh my gosh! You’re (Y/N)? He’s going to be so excited. He never shuts up about you!” A girl with long blonde hair says.
“Yeah he might explode,” A guy wearing a leather jacket replies.
“Yeah I’m sorry about that. Hopefully it’s all good things.”
“Definitely. That boy is 100% in love with you. I’m Savannah.”
“And I’m Jeremy”
“The third phantom and Carrie right? He talks about you guys all the time too”
“Well this is fun but we need to go find Charlie before he sees you first.” Owen drags me in a different direction. You wave to Savannah and Jeremy hoping to talk to them more.
You see that you end up at Charlie’s trailer and Owen knocks on the door.
“Coming!” You hear on the other side and your heart leaps. It’s him. Owen pushes you behind him.
“Owen! Where’d you go running off to? That was a king lunch, dude.”
“Oh you know just out.”
“Well it must’ve been good enough for Kenny to stop production until you got back. All that was left was your stuff with BooBoo. Mads is getting here soon.” You start to feel bad for causing them to stop filming.
“Oh believe me it was. I have a surprise for you.”
“Please! No more dead birds!”
“No it’s good I swear! Close your eyes”
“I don’t wanna-!”
“CLOSE YOUR EYES!”
“Fine!” Charlie closes his eyes and Owen pushes you right in front him.
“Okay...Open!”
Charlie opens his eyes expecting something gross but is completely in awe of the view in front of him.
“Wait…(Y/N)? How are you even here right now? What? How? I don’t even know what to say!”
“Just kiss me you dork.” He doesn’t say anything just wraps you in his arms and gives you the biggest kiss possible. You kiss him back and just soak in the moment of you two. It feels like there’s no one else around and forget about where you are.
“Okay...I’m going to go leave and find Kenny.”
Charlie lets go and just stares at you in shock. “That son of a bitch went to the airport didn’t he?” You just nod chuckling to yourself. “I’m sorry but oh my god. I can’t believe your standing here right now.”
“Neither can I. Last week I was missing you so much and Owen convinced me to get a ticket.”
“Well you came just in time. We’re having a Halloween party tomorrow night and now you can come! Everyone’s going to be so excited. You’re all I can talk about.”
“So I’ve heard. I better live up to the expectations huh?”
“You already are just by being you...God I love you.” He kisses you again.
You spend the rest of the day watching him film scenes and meeting the rest of the cast. They were all so nice and welcoming. You kinda regret leaving your stuff in Owens truck but you had to Charlie to help you unpack so it didn’t take too long. After that the three of you went out for dinner and then cuddled with Charlie the rest of the night Because of the party everyone had a later call time. This meant more time with Charlie.
The next morning you woke up to an empty bed but a noisy apartment. You walk out of the room to see Charlie and Owen arguing over a pan of burnt eggs.”
“Good morning, old married couple. What’s going on? It’s too early for this shit.”
“I’m sorry, (Y/N), but SOMEBODY decided to let the breakfast I was making you burn.”
“How is this my fault?”
“I asked you to watch over it while I went to the bathroom and I came back out to you going live and not even paying attention.”
“Well sorry I got distracted but you were in there a long time.”
“It wasn’t that king oh my god!”
“Boys!! Stop arguing,” You walk up behind Charlie to give him a hug, “It’s okay. Thank you for the breakfast, baby.”
“I’m sorry for him over there. It would’ve been amazing.”
“Amazing or Charlie amazing. I saw the peanut butter out?” Owen says staring at Charlie.
“Oh...maybe it was a good thing they got ruined. You eat some weird food babe.”
“Hey! Who’s side are you on?” Charlie says low key offended but he can’t stay mad too long. “Whatever, we'll just get Starbucks or something. Are you coming to set babe?”
“I was actually thinking about going to the store to find a last minute costume. What are you going as?”
“It’s gonna be a surprise. We’re not telling anyone.”
“We?”
“Yeah. Jer, Charlie, and I are gonna match.” Owen replies.
“Oh god. I hope it wasn’t Charlie’s idea.”
“What is this? Pick on Charlie day?”
“No it’s Halloween! Best day of the year. Tomorrow is Pick on Charlie Day.” You laugh at Owen.
“Which reminds me I have to go to get a good costume.” You go back to Charlie’s room to get dressed before saying goodbye to the two idiots.
“I’ll see you later! Bye I love you!”
“I love you too!” Owen yells back.
“She was talking to me. Love you!”
“I don’t think so. She loves me more.” You hear them start to argue again and you leave quickly.
At the store you find a cute Lilo costume that there was one left of. You also buy a Scrump backpack and a little Stitch plush to carry with you (plus that fits in the bag so your hands don’t get tired. Spirit Halloween really has it all.
Charlie said to get to set around 6 and gives you the address of the school around 6 since that’s when they were supposed to done filming. You go through the door you and Owen walked through the day before. You start following the decorations until you get to the Cafeteria. You start to recognize people from yesterday. You see Sav is Kim Possible. Madison as the devil and Jadah as an angel. Sacha was also a devil. You look around but don’t see the three boys. You haven’t known Jeremy long but if he is willing to along with Charlie and Owens' plan he must be just as big as a doofus as them. After about 20 minutes you go to find a bathroom.
You look in the mirror fixing your dress and we’re fixing your eyeliner until the light turns off. You look around confused, feeling your way around. You got close to the light and feel a person.
“Hello?” You whisper.
You just hear footsteps walking slowly toward you.
“This is it. This is when I die.” You think to yourself. You walk backwards before feeling another body behind you.
You close your eyes to accept fate before seeing some light against your eyelids.
You open your eyes and see three scary ass looking clowns in front of you. You scream and run out the door. You take a moment against the hallway wall before realizing there were three people missing in the party. You wait hoping they would walk out soon. You see the door open and see one of the boys step out. Not caring which one it was you walk up against the door so they couldn’t see you. When you see his face you yell, “BOO!”
The clown screams and runs out pulling the rest of them behind him.
“Not so fun is it?” You let yourself be seen.
“I’m sorry (Y/N). I didn’t think that Owen was going to turn out the lights.” Charlie said walking slowly up to her.
“You wanted to scare her. It’s a small room and there's not many options.”
“Still I’m so sorry.”
“I actually thought I was going to die. I’ve never been more terrified in my life. Why would you do that?”
“I thought it would be funny.”
“Funny to watch your girlfriend terrified is it?”
“(Y/N)...I don’t know how to be anymore sorry.”
“Yeah we're really sorry.” Jer says hoping to calm the situation down.
“Yeah really sorry.” He was going to say something sarcastic but saw how traumatized you actually looked.
“It’s okay. I mean it is Halloween. I should have expected something like this from the three of you.”
Charlie walks the rest of the way to you and gives you a hug and kisses you on the head. He feels you calm down and says “You look really cute.”
“Thanks you don’t at all but it’s okay.”
“Hey you said Pick on Charlie day was tomorrow.” You smile before pulling away from Charlie and yell “Hey Owen!”
“Yeah?”
“Charlie just agreed to tomorrow being Pick on Charlie Day!”
“He did? Cmon lets tell everyone!” You run after him back to the cafeteria.
“Wait no I didn’t!!! (Y/N)! OWEN!!” Charlie just shakes his head knowing it wouldn’t do anything.
Later that night everyone got a text saying this:
This is your healthy reminder that 11/1 is now officially Pick on Charlie day! To celebrate, please spend the whole day picking on Charlie Gillespie. I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
Let’s just say when the next year came around, the fans had a field day and Charlie was not a happy camper.

A/N: oh look another 2 am post! Anyway I hope you liked it!

MIND GAMES - THREE
Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader
Summary: The team goes on a mission. You meet someone who might expose you. 
Warnings: angst, mentions of violence 
Note: Wanna be tagged in future chapters? Shoot me a message :) Sorry for being MIA for so long. I’ve been sad. Blegh. 
SERIES MASTERLIST.
PREVIOUS CHAPTER.
Tumblr media
Over the few days that follow, you become increasingly paranoid. It’s your own fault, because you shouldn’t have lied to the people that have welcomed you into their homes with open arms, but lying is a survival skill that you were taught many years ago, and old habits die hard. You become shadowy, avoid team members in the hallways and common areas of the penthouse floor you all share, and stay in your room as much as possible without alarming anyone. Of course Natasha knows something is up, but Steve doesn’t, and he waves off her concern as you simply ‘needing more time to adjust, Nat’. You watch their body language during breakfast – one of two meals a day you simply cannot get out of without causing anyone’s alarm bells to start ringing – and engage in light conversation wherever possible to keep them out of your hair.
Guilt gnaws at your insides when you find yourself wandering the deserted wrap-around balcony at nearly 3 a.m., brain searching for a clue to any bad things that might happen. If any one of them figures out you’re ex-hydra you’re done for, that much you know, but the man with golden hair and twinkling azure eyes might just be your ticket to safety.
The thought alone sickens you, because you vowed never to mess with someone’s feelings to get what you need ever again. It’s a twisted thought, but the vines of its root wrap themselves around the stem of your brain nonetheless.
A month after first moving in, you’ve already figured out their routines. Steve’s the early riser of the bunch, getting up every morning at 6:30 a..m. sharp to go on a run around the city. On rare occasions, he manages to convince Sam to come along with him, but more often than not, he remains in his bed until at least 10 o’clock, when Steve’s already come back to shower and get dressed for the day. Tony and Bruce are in the lab 24/7, both of them constantly bickering about artificial intelligence and microbiology among other matters you can’t even begin to understand. As a result, you don’t see them around too often, a notion you don’t particularly mind. Clint left to be with his family two weeks ago and hasn’t been back since, and Natasha leaves all the time, sometimes for days at a time. You don’t dare to ask anyone where she goes when she disappears, but nobody seems surprised to find her seat at the dining table empty again.
It’s a gloomy day when you wake up to find the entire place void of all life. Not even Steve, who’s adamant about his morning coffee, is there to grace you with his presence when you walk into the kitchen that Saturday morning. The counter is clean, no empty coffee cups, half-eaten bowls of oatmeal or bread crumbs to indicate anyone’s eaten yet, and all of the chairs are still perfectly lined against the table.
Your pulse involuntarily quickens to an uncomfortable pace, and you bite the inside of your cheek until the metallic taste of blood is heavy on your tongue. With quick steps, you walk towards the common room, footsteps loud in your ears when you consider where they might be. As expected, there’s nobody there. The TV is switched off, there are no dents in the heavy fabric of the couch from where Steve usually sits, and again, no empty cups or bowls can be found on the coffee table. You have the jitters when you finally get to the library, which is again void of all life.
Black socks covered in small holes squeak across the wooden floors when you walk around the room. It’s not surprising to see the library vacant. You’re sure Avengers have more pressing matters to tend to than reading books on any given day, but it was your last hope nonetheless. With your head tilted to the side, you focus on scanning the titles that line the walls. You follow every shelf in the room until your eye finally catches something. You take the book with a sigh, flip through its tattered pages, and wonder for a moment which one of the Avengers has read the crap out of Pride and Prejudice. Definitely not Sam, judging by his internal monologue. That guy doesn’t appear to have an ounce of romanticism inside him.  
 “They’re out,” a gentle voice suddenly says behind you, “Steve didn’t want to wake you up this morning to tell you.”
You slap your hand over your heart in surprise, and inhale sharply, “Jesus Christ, doc. You scared the hell out of me.”
Bruce throws his hands up in the air and shrugs his shoulders, “Sorry, it’s just me.”
“Are they on a mission?” you ask, feeling your heart jump in your chest like a skippy ball.
“Yeah, they should be back in a few days. Are you alright? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
You swallow thickly, noticing all of a sudden how your mouth is dry like sandpaper, “you just spooked me, that’s all. What kind of mission is it?”
“Intel gathering, in an out. That’s why I didn’t come. They only bring me when they need the green guy,” he says.
“Oh yeah,” you reply slowly, “how’s he holding up?”
“Asleep,” Bruce smiles, then clears his throat, “for now, anyway. Would you like to get some breakfast?”
You follow Bruce through the rain, which started to gust from the grey sky just as you were getting dressed. You’d rather have said no, but you knew you couldn’t; it wouldn’t be polite to decline his offer. Besides, he’s oblivious, and for whatever reason, he trusts you. When he bites into his chocolate croissant, you know why – Steve’s let you in. This notion once more confirms the thoughts that have been occupying your mind for the last week; Steve is your one-way ticket to inclusivity.
You shudder at the thought and fake a smile before taking a large sip of coffee. The cafe is small, mostly empty, and your seat by the window gives you a perfect view of pedestrians struggling in the howling, icy wind. One year ago, you could never have imagined yourself sitting in a café with a cup of coffee clutched between your fingers, chatting with someone who you could potentially call a friend. The idea alone of being able to enjoy a warm mug filled with freshly brewed coffee would’ve sounded preposterous to you.
There was no warmth with HYDRA. Only cold.
It takes the team three days to return from their mission. Three long days, during which you spend most of your time with Bruce in his lab, perched on a desk-chair with a book in your hands while he works on – actually, you have no idea what he’s working on. You quickly grow to become fond of him, because he doesn’t feel the need to constantly fill the silence between you with empty words. His thoughts are coherent, focused on his project, and the lingo is too advanced for you to understand, which makes it easy to drown out. His inner monologue is quiet, except for a few angry words from the Hulk when Bruce becomes frustrated with his work, but that only happened on day two, and only for ten minutes.
Steve smells like gun powder and sweat when he hugs you softly against his chest after exiting the Quinjet. Natasha waves at you, and the smile that dons her dirt-caked face surprises you, but you return it nonetheless. Sam even ruffles your hair, causes a sound to escape your throat that you haven’t heard yourself make in over a decade; a strange combination of a snort and a chuckle that sounds like music to your own ears. Your heart pounds again, but in a good way this time, because for a small moment in time, you’ve managed to put the guilt on the back-burner. The roaring engine behind you falls silent at last, and nobody else visibly exits the plane before you make it inside.  
“You held up okay?” Steve asks as he follows you back inside the building.
You nod in response and shove your hands deep inside the pockets of your hoodie, “I’ve been helping Bruce with his research.”
“Oh, did you? How’s it coming?” he asks.
His eyes sparkle like two tiny stars even through the exhaustion that nearly forces them shut every time he blinks. He’s exhausted, you can tell, and you have to bite your tongue before you make a comment about the state he’s in.
“I mostly sat there while he did all the thinking. Turns out computer science isn’t really my thing after all.”
Steve fights a yawn that threatens to overcome him, and nods, “yeah, I feel you. I can barely get the damn things to start. I’ve given up on technology.”
He turns back to face you when he’s come to a halt in front of his room.
“Sorry I didn’t tell you where I went,” he tells you, meaning it as he says it, “we kinda left in a hurry, and you were still sleeping.”
“Don’t worry about it,” you reply, “I understand.”
He quickly retreats after that, leaving you once again with nothing to do. You go back to your room to grab the worn copy of Pride and Prejudice from your nightstand and, after plopping down on your bed, flip to the page where you last left off. You read for a while, before the idea to make some tea with warm milk and honey pops into your head, and you skip along the hallway to the kitchen with the book securely wrapped in your arms.
You’re surprised to hear Steve’s voice when you enter the common area, and a smile appears on his face the second his eyes fall on you. You raise one arm to wave at him, but a loud gasp and a large thud followed by the sound of breaking glass have you freezing on the spot before you can open your mouth to greet him at all.
Your head snaps towards the source of the sound, causing your neck to twist and crack painfully. Red, glowing eyes meet your large ones when you dare to look up at whoever made the noise, and the book in your hands falls to the ground with a loud bang that startles everyone in the room. You stumble backwards when you can feel the woman standing before you deep inside of your head, and you nearly trip over the rug when you instinctly try to get away from her. Frantically, you scramble to stop her from seeing more than she’s already seen. Still, by the time you manage to build up a mental barrier to keep her out of your head, it’s already too late.
You haven’t seen her before, and you can’t remember for the life of you if the image of her has popped up in any of the Avengers’ heads. Your brain is mushy, images hazy as you try to focus on keeping the woman from digging around deeper. You can see distant memories of your time with HYDRA flash before her eyes, and the images blur with the present in a spasm that makes your eyes water.
Wanda Maximoff lets out a shrill, piercing shriek, one that chills everyone to the bone. Thor, who you didn’t even know was there, is by her side before she can collapse onto the cold, hard floor, and Steve jumps up from his chair before you have time to register his movements. He grabs your arm and drags you out of the kitchen, fingers digging painfully in your tender flesh when he pulls you away from the scene. Sympathy fills Sam’s dark brown eyes when you turn back around to look at him, and guilt roils in your stomach when the redhead sinks to her knees with tears streaming down her face.
Your arms hang limply to your side when you watch Steve pace back and forth around his room. You’re waiting for him to yell at you, to tell you to get the fuck out of the compound and never return, but he remains awfully quiet. His silence confuses and unnerves you simultaneously.
His eyes, swimming with unimaginable depth, find your face while the scent of his cologne and pure testosterone invades your nostrils. Pressure clamps down on your chest, and the intensity of his gaze causes you to shiver. Never in your entire life have you wanted to read someone’s mind more. 
“Are you alright?” your head cocks to the side, mouth twitching while you try to find words. 
You nearly gave that woman an aneurysm, and he’s asking you if you’re okay?
“Yes,” you stammer, “I’m so sorry.” 
“Wanda is telepathic,” Steve says, “she has trouble controlling what she sees sometimes.” 
“Like I said, I’m so so-” 
A soft exhale leaves your lips when Steve’s hands find their way to your shoulders, and your voice dies down in your throat when he bends down slightly to meet your eyes. Calloused fingertips penetrate the thin material of your t-shirt, and the warmth of his hands creates a buzzing sensation just beneath your skin. 
“She was in Europe, scouting the location of the mission with Rhodey. She’s been in Eastern Europe for a while, that’s why you haven’t seen her. I should’ve told you about her.”
“Will she be okay?” you ask. You hardly recognize your own voice. 
“Sam’s got her. She’s stronger than she looks. Are you sure you’re okay? You don’t look so good.” 
You don’t know how to respond. You crave a cigarette all of a sudden, even though you don’t smoke. Alcohol then, maybe, to numb down the prickling sensation of firing synapses and goosebumps that line your bare arms. Yeah, a good couple of shots of whiskey will do the trick. Not vodka though, you hate that stuff. 
You bite your bow-shaped lips and inhale deeply. Steve is so close that you can feel his breath fanning across your face. It’s wrong, being so near him after what just happened. You’re on thin ice. It won’t be long before the entire team, undoubtedly informed by what Wanda just saw, comes barging into Steve’s room, ready to drag you away to prison or worse, put a bullet through your skull. You deserve it, you think, for what you used to do. For who you used to be. You almost want somebody to call you out on your shit, because then at least you wouldn’t have to hide it anymore. 
But seconds turn into minutes, and nobody comes. It’s quiet, except for the sound of Steve’s breathing and the steady beating of his heart, and you realize when he looks at you with sympathy and sincerity that you hate yourself for lying. It’s an ironic realization, because lying is like second nature to you. HYDRA spent so much time ingraining it into your brain that it’s become almost like a second language, a means of communication that flows so naturally that you don’t even have an accent anymore. It’s brought you many things, and ruined even more people.
Your hands are going numb from how hard you’re clenching them into fists. Steve’s thumbs are rubbing small circles on your shoulders, and it takes all of your effort not to shake them off. You’re disgusted with yourself, bile threatening to rise to the back of your throat while the sensation of his warm fingers on you is the only thing left for you to feel. The world is dark and cold, but the heat radiating from Steve’s hands is just enough to stop you from getting frostbite. The concern is evident on his face, from the deep crease between his brows to the thin line of his lips; he’s worried about you, someone he doesn’t even know. Someone he would kill if he’d met you under any other circumstances.
You want to go home, you think to yourself, but as soon as the thought appears do you smack it down with your fist. You don’t have a home, you scold yourself, just like the doctors would tell you when you cried and screamed on the dingey operating table in the early days, when they didn’t control you yet. When they still wore their special masks to stop you from controlling their minds so they could freely fuck with yours.
It’s an icy reality, one that rattles you to your core every time it makes an appearance. Steve’s eyes are still scanning your face, which is twisted and contorted into a painful scowl before you even realize what’s happening.
An inexplicable panic washes over you, heart jackhammering in your chest while your cheeks turn a sickly shade of pink. A bead of sweat rolls down your back, followed by cold shivers that envelop your skin in ice. The scent of laundry detergent and cologne hits you like a truck, and you have to bite your tongue to stop yourself from gagging.
“What’s wrong?” He asks, his voice melting and morphing into the sound of rain slamming against the window like gunfire.
“My head,” you cry out in a desperate whimper, “it hurts.”
Steve forces your body down onto his bed, and while you begin to writhe in pain that causes white spots to dance in front of your eyes, he closes the curtains to keep the light from coming in. His mother had head aches all the time, and she’d be in bed for days on end if they got bad enough. He remembers her clear as day, lying in bed with an empty bucket next to her on the floor in the dark, because the light hurt so bad it would make her vomit sometimes. He’d tiptoe around the house because the sound of his feet creaking across the floorboards would pain her. He recognizes her in you, lying on his bed with your hands clutching the sides of your head.
“I’ll get you some aspirin,” he says, quieting his voice, the incident with Wanda long forgotten as instinct takes over.  
Tears blur your vision at this point, and it takes every ounce of focus that you have left to keep yourself from screaming out in pain. Aspirin won’t help, but you don’t possess the capability to tell him not to bother. You’ve experienced this type of pain before, and have endured it without medicine each time. Many times actually; while you were forced to extract information from the people taken and captured by HYDRA with whatever means necessary. This time however, it’s come as a surprise and it’s caught you completely off-guard, although you suspect Wanda’s poking and prodding has something to do with it.
With all the strength you have left, you manage to pull the covers over your head, engulfing yourself in darkness and warmth to drown out your senses. The sudden darkness is disorienting, but you welcome it with open arms. Steve opens his mouth, but shuts it, and heads for the door without uttering another word.
All you hear when Steve exits the room is the sound of your former victims crying out in despair.

Series Masterlist   Previous Part   Next Part
When I saw my little sisters, that all went away. Sure I still called them a lot but nothing could compare to actually seeing them in person. Sapphire launched herself into my arms and I stumbled back a bit.
“I missed you too,” I said.
I hugged Aaliyah too. When I entered the apartment I heard voices. My dad’s and some feminine voice. 
I walked in to find some woman who couldn't be older than 25 in my kitchen. Talking and laughing with my dad. I didn’t want to assume anything or start a scene so I just went into my room to catch up with my sisters. 
We were talking about some kid who gave me a DMT pen once and I was tripping balls which I probably shouldn’t be talking about, but I want them to feel comfortable enough to come to me. Makes it easier to keep them safe. 
Our dad opened the door and hung in the doorway.
“Hey… Y/N do you mind coming here for a sec?”
“Yeah sure…” 
I stepped out of the room. 
“Is something wrong?” It wasn’t often that he initiated a conversation that would end positively.
“No,no, not at all, I just want you to meet someone,” 
When I entered the kitchen the same woman from before was still there. My dad walked over to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. 
“This is my girlfriend, Camilla” 
I knew it . I knew it! I was trying not to be hostile toward her every problem I had was towards my dad so I smiled and waved to her.
“Camilla this is Y/N,” he pointed to me. 
“Well I’ll let y’all get acquainted,” He said before leaving the room.
I sat on the kitchen island and waited for her to say something first. 
“Look, I would just like to put it out there that I’m not trying to replace your mom in anyway.”
“Thanks I appreciate it,” 
“Also, are you okay now?” She asked in a low voice.
“Huh?” I questioned.
“Your dad said you ran away,” Of course he did “and I saw the news with your school at the Washington Monument.” So I guess she knew more about me then expected. Not surprised she was the one to ask me and not my so called dad.  
“Thanks for your concern but I’m fine, and sorry to cut this conversation short but I’m drained.” 
“Oh, okay, have a nice night,” 
“You, too,” 
I didn’t have time to think about anything. I just made it back to my room and face planted onto my bed. My whole being was sore including my brain. I didn’t have the energy to change my clothes, to shower, to think about my dad being a pathological liar or anything else that happened today.
I was awoken by my dad. I didn't know how long I slept but the sun was out. I can’t remember the last time I was able to sleep while the sun was up. 
“Hey we’re going out, for family bonding and I want you there with us,”
Family.
We ain’t ever been a family before why start now. Is what I really wanted to say but I sucked it up because again I hadn’t seen my sisters in a while. 
The movie was really boring. If we’re being honest. 
I pulled Aaliyah and Sapphire aside as my dad and Camilla were deep in conversation. 
“You know how I was staying at Wade’s house right?” 
They both nodded.
“What did dad tell you about this,” 
Sapphire just shrugged and Aaliyah was the one to post.
“I dunno he didn’t say much like usual he just kinda said you just left,” 
I felt my jaw tightening as I processed her words, my fist clenching by my side. 
“Oh, oh okay,” I breathed in through my nose and out through my mouth a couple times “Well I just want you to know I’d never leave y’all without a very good reason, and I never won’t come back,” 
By the time we got back to the house it was around twelve since we watched another movie and went to a restaurant. Then got ice cream. This is the most money my dad could’ve possibly spent on me in a long time. I mean he didn’t because I didn’t get anything and bought my own ticket. I didn’t want him to be able to use the fact he bought me stuff against me. I’d gotten tired of the “after I’ll I’ve done for you,” excuse. 
I couldn’t sleep. No matter what I tried I couldn’t sleep. I tried NyQuil, melatonin, and even tea. The tea really did more harm than good. 
This was an extremely stupid thing to do so don’t follow my lead but I was bored. 
I grabbed a lot of useless shit from the floor of my room and made my way to the roof. I poured hand sanitizer on it and set it on fire. Putting aside the fact that it was really weird the fire was oddly beautiful. I sat there watching it for a minute before stomping it out. 
I was going to text my friend Carmen but I realized she was supposed to be asleep and I didn’t want to get her in trouble. 
I ended up scrolling through Zillow for a while then that turned into me applying for like four jobs. In which turned into me making spamming multiple friends saying we needed to hang out.
While I was on Zillow there was a relatively cheap apartment in Queens. Which was close to my school. It kept drawing me in for some reason. I bookmarked the tab.
Before I knew it the sun was up. I figured if I couldn’t sleep I would go on a walk to the park. 
When I got back to the complex everyone was still asleep except my dad who walked outside like he was waiting on me. He grabbed my arm, squeezing it tightly. 
He basically told me I looked like a prostitute. I was running so my sports bra and leggings were actually pretty appropriate. He said that I was probably going out to fuck people and that’s where I always was. I opened my mouth to defend myself.
“Actually I was just going to the-“ I was cut off by a sharp sting on my cheek. 
He fucking slapped me. Hard at that. He then grabbed my arm even tighter than before dragging me into the house.
 I don’t know what hurt worse my face or that fact that I wouldn’t be able to blame him being drunk on all the times he’d hit me before. He was just an ass.
  By the time I made it back to my room it felt like my body was burning itself from the inside out. My face was red and so was my arm from my elbow to almost my wrist. To try to cool myself down I took a cold shower and took some Tylenol. 
I still couldn’t sleep but tonight it was because it was so hot. I really needed a fan in my room. It was already 6 so I just decided to get a head start at the school. Not without taking pictures of my bruises before covering them with green concealer and foundation. I wore a hoodie for good measure. 
I felt dizzy and decided it was probably best not to skate at the moment and I’m 90% sure I fell asleep on the subway.  Apparently we had an art project due which I had no idea existed in the first place so I wasn’t going to that class today. Even though I did truly love Ms. Kramer. I was just gonna skip and go to Bri’s class. Which just happened to be chemistry. 
I wasn’t surprised Mr. Cobwell asked no question when I walked in. I ate lunch in his class a couple times, he was chill. He continued on talking about Quantum Theory. 
I made Flash move from his seat next to Bri which he immediately did. I guess he was scared of me now. 
“Hey,” I said, placing my non bruised side of my face on the desk.
“Hey,” She whispered back. “What class are you supposed to be in?” 
“Art,” 
“Why are you there? You love art,” 
“I’m not feeling it today,” 
“Alright,” she nodded.
“Lemme use your AirPods,” 
She reached into her bag handing them over going back to taking notes. That didn’t last long.
“What ya watching?” She asked.
“Bad Girls Club,” I smiled knowing she liked this show. 
“What season?” 
“7,” I whispered because now I felt too weak to waste my energy on speaking. I placed the phone on my lap and she took the other AirPod and before I knew I class was over with Tasha throwing trash everywhere.
I figured I was feeling sick because my blood sugar was low or something so I drank some Apple juice at lunch and called it a day.
Now time for Physics. I hate physics. Why would science ever require so much math? 
It was so hot. Like on the face of the sun, hot but I couldn’t take my hoodie off because I felt like I’d sweat my foundation off. 
“Are you okay?” Peter asked me “You look pale,” I swear if he doesn’t learn to mind his business.
“I’m fine,” I told him, not sure if I was trying to convince him or myself, I gestured to his notebook. “Do your work,” 
“Alright fine,” he said reluctantly, glancing at me once before getting back to writing whatever we were supposed to be doing down.
 I pulled my hoodie back over my head and sat up in my seat about to try to do my work again. But it was so hot and I was so dizzy that I couldn’t focus.
The world began to swirl and I knew the switch in my brain was going to flip off. I just didn’t have time or enough energy to tell anyone. 
When I woke up I was in a bed in the nurse's office and the first thing I noticed was I didn’t have my hoodie. Shit. I used to make fun of people for passing out because how does your own body clock out on you? Until it started happening to me like last year. 
I went into the bathroom and sure enough the giant bruise on my cheek and arm were kinda visible. 
Again shit.
I patted my forehead with a cold paper towel because the nurse’s bathroom actually had paper towels unlike all the others, before the nurse came back. 
“Hello, Are you feeling okay?” 
I nodded. She smiled down at me before giving me water and checking my temperature. 
“You have a fever,” she said after looking down at the thermometer “We called dad to come and pick you up but we got no answer. Is there anyone else that can come and take you?” 
I shook my head, not trusting my voice. 
I drank some more of the water before speaking up. 
“I have a friend who’s at this school she could maybe drop me off?” 
“I’m not sure if that’s allowed,” she said. 
“You know what? Go back to class, get your friend and come right back.”
I pushed off the bed and headed out of the nurses office surprised to find Peter sitting on the bench outside it. 
“Are you okay?” He asked me again 
“Yes I’m okay” I nodded. Apparently I wasn’t as okay as I thought because I almost tripped over my leg trying to move. But Peter immediately reached his hand out to stabilize me. And I don’t know why that made me as angry as it was but I said “I don’t need you to help,” harsher than I need to. 
“Sorry,” I said calmly almost immediately after. 
“It’s okay,” He said scratching the back of his neck.
“If you don’t mind me asking where’d these bruises come from,” 
“I fell,” was all I said. He looked skeptical but that was all he was going to get, I didn’t need CPS all up in my business. That’s also payback for him lying to me about “cat scratches”. 
“Can you do me a favor?” I asked.
“Yeah, anything,” he said. 
“Can you go get Briana from Mr. Dell’s class for me?” 
“Yeah I’ll be right back,” he said before sprinting down the hallway. I giggled at his giddiness. It was still extremely hot everywhere my body was tingling. 
Bri ran towards me 
“Oh my god are you okay,” 
“I’m fine, I just need you to talk to the nurse with me real quick,” 
She apparently didn’t have her car with her today so she was a no go. 
“I’m sorry girl,” she said, pulling me into a hug. 
“It’s okay, go back to class now,” I said.
“Alright feel better,”
I walked back out of the office to find none other than Peter still waiting there.
“So what happened?” He asked.
“Looks like I’m walking home,” I smiled sarcastically. “Yay,”
“I can walk you home,”
“No, thank you” 
“I insist,” I laughed again 
“I still think that word is funny,” I said.
“Okay, now let me walk you home,” 
We were walking in no general direction. No one but MJ and Bri know my address and  I’d like  to keep it that way. 
“Wait, you need food,” He claimed.
We ended up at this place called Delmar’s Deli. I’d passed it a couple times while walking home and during my less legal “hobby”. I really wasn’t hungry at all. I took all of like two bites from my sandwich claiming I’d take it to go before throwing it away. It wasn’t bad, it was quite good, actually I just wasn’t hungry. 
“My aunt is a nurse at an emergency room, she can check you out,” I hate anything that's anything like a hospital at all brings terrible memories, but I didn’t want him to know where I lived so I agreed. I’d ditch him then.  
It took us a while to get there but by the time we did I had to stop and catch my breath. He offered to walk me home and got me food. What a Spiderman thing to do. I’d say I had much solid proof to go on by now.  
“Peter!” The gorgeous brunette woman came over to the waiting room “What are you doing here don’t you have school?” 
“Yeah but my friend-“ When her eyes ghosted over to my face she cut herself off. “Oh my God are you okay,” she referred to my bruises “What happened to you?” 
“Did Flash do this to her?” She asked Peter and I had to stifle a laugh at that. I wish he would try to lay a finger on me. 
“No, she just told me she fell, we’re here cause she fainted and I don’t know if the school nurse is very capable of actually helping,” 
Is this a new thing Peter just decides to randomly worry about me for no good reason and forces me into taking care of myself. Because I hate it. 
“Oh, ok,” She nodded her head. “Grab one of those questionnaires over there,” She pointed to the sign in table. “Are your parents going to come too?” She asked and I shook my head. 
She and Peter moved over to the side and started talking about something I had no interest in. I grabbed the questionnaire and sat on the edge of the closest seat.

A student. 
6. Have you ever been treated in an emergency room (specify age)? 
Yes, as a child. 
7. Have you ever been rushed to the hospital? If yes, do you remember why?
Okay wow. Yes. 
I sat on the cold bathroom floor, vision blurry from tears forming in my eyes. 
“Y/N, you okay in there?” I heard my brother ask after lightly rapping his fingers on the door. 
“Yeah, I’m okay!” 
No I wasn’t. I wasn’t okay at all. In fact I was the farthest thing from okay. I glanced down at my thighs, you could see cuts from the night before and scars peeking out from underneath my shorts. I was sobbing at this point. 
“I’m so sorry,” I whispered. I wasn’t sure if it was for myself or to everyone I knew I’d hurt by this. I already had the headache. I was just waiting for the rest of the pills to kick in. 
I was holding onto the sink for support when the left side of my body started to feel tingly. The whole situation felt hazy. I was shaking hard before I fell, taking almost everything on the sink with me. 
My head hit the bathmat and I could feel my heart slowing and hear my breath become shallow. I heard the doorknob jingle and that was the last thing before a feeling of true bliss and peace took over my body. 
I could hear screams and sirens and I knew I was in an ambulance. Slowly I awoke with wires all over my body and an IV in my wrist. My limbs were dead weight, I couldn’t move. 
A single tear fell from my eye alerting me off my surroundings. I quickly came back to myself. I made up the excuse of a family emergency and left.
I ended up halfway across the city. Then in Brooklyn visiting a friend. 
I knocked on the window of Aaron’s apartment. I could see Miles sitting on the couch.
“How’ve things been over here?” I asked once I was settled on the couch as well. 
“Uh, pretty tame, and you?” 
“There was that whole elevator stunt and I almost fucking died which was fun.” 
“Forgot you never take anything seriously,” He rolled his eyes. 
I laughed in response “Well one of us has got to be fun for us since it’s clearly not you,” 
“In celebration of me not dying I’m making sundaes,” 
“Alright,” He said leaning back on the couch. 
“Hey uh, When’s Aaron coming back?” I asked, getting the whipped cream out of the fridge.
“I’m not sure,” 
This is actually like really fucking dangerous. Like it could kill me. It’s just I was already in pain and had a headache. I also wasn’t thinking. I’d already made the sundaes. I turned around so Miles couldn’t see what I was doing before I- Okay I’m not going to do this. Get it together God you’re acting like an addict. The amount of people who’ve died from inhalants were insane. There it is again death. 
“Drawn anything new lately?” I asked, wanting to get my mind off of the topic of death that seemed to be plaguing my brain lately.  
“Some small sketches,”
I got the text that’d I been waiting for. I’d been talking to Aaron for the past few days. I’m not sure how Miles would feel about that. So I haven’t said anything. 
But I got the text. 
Staten Island Ferry 3pm
I immediately popped up from the couch.
“I have to go like right now, it’s an emergency,” 
I sprinted towards the door almost running into the punching bag in front of me. 
“Y/N-“ 
It’d been a week and things were looking up. I had a great day yesterday without the use of any drug. But nothing good ever lasts too long. I didn’t have to worry about that now. What I needed to worry about, was getting Peter to stop falling on his ass. 
I tried not to laugh at him and failed. 
“It’s not funny,” he said, pulling me down with him as I reached out to pull him up. Soon he was laughing too. 
I felt a vibration in my pocket and saw that Aaron texted me. 
hey the results from the search came in.
what???? don’t play with me I’m on my way right now. 
“Uh hey I gotta go sorry,” 
“No it’s fine I probably should get home too,” He pushed off the ground reaching down for me. 
“Do you wanna do this again tomorrow?” He asked a hopeful glint in his eye once we were both on our feet.
“Yeah sounds nice,” I smiled.
“Okay,” He nodded.
“Okay,” I echoed heading off. 
Ned was being fucking stupid.
“NO!” I slammed my hands down on the table “You don’t stab anyone especially if you plan on using bleach to clean up the blood. At least use vinegar and lemon,”
“Okay, jeez,” he said reeling back, “How would you do it then?” 
Before I could say anything MJ spoke up
“You could just use a needle full of air in between their toes, Their heart would fail” 
“Orrr,” I said spinning around on top of the table towards Ned. “You could overdose them on potassium and by the time the police get there the potassium in their blood is back at a normal level,” 
“Yeah that works too,” MJ stated going back to whatever she was drawing.
“You guys scare me,” Ned muttered making me smile. 
“Where’s Peter?” I asked and Ned pointed across the room. 
There he was sitting by Liz. It was cute I knew about his little crush on her. I’m sure the whole school did. Glad it’s working out for him. However that did not stop the pain in my stomach. 
I got up from the table because suddenly I did not want to be at school anymore. 
“Where are you going?” MJ looked up at me.
I shrugged. In all honesty I had no I idea where I was going. Somehow I always end up at Wade’s house when I don’t know where I want to go. He wasn’t home but I had a key. I can’t remember if he gave it to me or I stole if we're being honest. 
Clearly I hadn’t passed by a mirror in a while because damn. I look terrible. 
My eyes were red and circled with a dark hue from lack of sleep. I still had a yellowing bruise on my cheek. I was pale. I looked to be on the verge of death. 
I looked frail, like at any second I’d just fall apart. 
It was so unfair. My bones dragged down my body. The pieces of my soul that were mined out and removed from my mind. There’s a hole leaving me forever longing and I cannot fill nor feel. Hiraeth, a beautiful word for a ugly feeling. longing for a home that I never truly had, a home in which I’d never return. I would like to drift to where my spirit lies. It’s in the eyes of you and me and everyone in between. Drifting on a small boat in the sea. Viridian. Yes! That's the place I would like to be, that's where my soul lies yes you see.
 I kept punching his punching bag over and over again. Until I was on my back on the floor begging my lungs to allow air into them with Time (Is) by Solange playing on loop. Something put it into my head that I had to kill Vulture. I’d never directly killed anyone but that was gonna change. Having people killed or knowing someone was going to kill someone and not doing anything about isn’t killing anyone in my book, but I’m sure it would be in Spidey’s
That’s literally Liz’s dad though…
Okay maybe I’d just get him locked up. Great now I gotta be a snitch. That’s new. I showered not even caring about my hair now my curls were sticking to my face. I was freezing now though. I didn’t know whether to be glad that my body wasn’t on fire anymore or be upset that I was covered in goosebumps. 
Wade’s laptop was sitting right there on his bed. I was only taking a shower but, I think I should be allowed to watch Netflix and he wouldn’t mind, I was already on his account anways. 
After like 3 episodes into this random show there was a folder that was calling to me for some reason. 
It’d be okay to take a sneak peek. I thought to myself. 
I clicked on it and it was locked. I guessed the password in like three tries. He’s really gotta up his password game. It opened to multiple folders, one with my mom's name. Okay I had to click this then. 
I opened it which opened to more folders one titled ‘In Case of My Death’. 
Okay, okay cool my mother has had a video of what to do all if she died all along. This would’ve come in handy five years ago. 
There were three videos with the names of myself and my sisters. I clicked on mine then paused it. 
Then unpaused it again. 
I couldn’t do it. Okay, yes I could. I played it again. As soon as I heard the beginning of the word “hi”. I shut the computer off. I couldn’t do this. Couldn't do it because I was weak, I couldn’t handle myself. I was stupid and weak and a fucking disappointment. Guess my dad had been right all these years. I knew there was always some truth to the words he spoke only a matter of time until I started acknowledging it. 
I don’t remember coming home to the apartment. And I definitely don’t remember writing all over the walls of my dad’s room. But I had a marker in my hands and it looked like a toddler had gone to town. 
Holy Shit 
He was actually going to murder me, in cold fucking blood.  I trashed, the living room area, his room, and then mine. I was not coming home tonight. Looks like I’d need to find a new home now. At this point that sounded like a pretty solid plan. 
I text my sisters a quick text ‘stay at grandma’s house tonight dad is going to pissed like Super Sayian mode’ before grabbing my go-bag which was: a bag of the essentials, like hygiene a couple shirts, shorts, hoodies, pants, and of course the flash drive can't forget the flash drive. 
The flash drive that’s driving me crazy. I’d yet to open it though.  I knew I was crazy because I did all this while fucking sobbing.
I wandered around for hours. Making my way to Brooklyn, Manhattan, Harlem, AND actual New York City.  
Somehow I still ended up at Olivia’s door at the end of the day. I honestly believe we were soulmates. Most people don’t know you get many soulmates in a lifetime. I think Olivia and I would be the karmic kind. A karmic relationship is meant to help you grow, but it is never meant to last—it's often playing out a bad experience from a past life. I’m guessing I hadn’t grown yet because here I was.
She opened the door after a second. I’m surprised she did because I used our special knock so I knew she knew it was me. 
“I can’t fucking do this anymore,” I screamed in her face. 
“You're the one going off and being secretive and shit, like you’re scared I’m gonna hurt you or something,” she yelled walking up the stairs. 
I followed after her, 
“Maybe you would hurt me. I don’t know you are insane,” I said, tears brimming my eyes. 
“Just because you have fucking daddy issues, doesn’t mean you have to carrying them into every part of your life,” 
“I have daddy issues?” I screamed soon turning into me choking on a laugh making an unhinged noise “Oh, I have fucking daddy issues, now? Oh, okay,” I nodded. 
“Your parents didn’t even fucking want you,” I pointed at her. “At least my mom stuck around before she died,” 
“You’re an asshole, you know that?” 
“Yeah well right back at you,” 
“You’re fucking psychotic! Literally you’re so much like your dad and you don’t even know it, You’re trying to please him and he doesn’t give two shits about you, Wake up Y/N! Wake up.” 
“I’m hard on you because I love you so much,” She claimed, but her love was suffocating. 
“Oh yeah? I asked “Well i don’t know how much more of this ’love’ I can take,” 
“Fine then,” She screamed. 
“Fine,” I said before she slammed the door in my face leaving me standing out in the cold crying. 
That wasn’t even the worse we’d said to each other. It was the first but not the last time we’d break up either. I do believe we loved each other though in our own twisted way. Well at least I know I loved her. 
“Hey,” She said softly as she could sense I was due to break at any second. My cheeks were probably tear stained. 
“Hey,” I whispered back. 
“Are you okay?” She asked. 
“No,” I shook my head. One thing I liked about her is I didn’t have to fake it around her, because masking my real emotions was so draining. At least I didn’t have to do it with everyone. 
“Wanna talk about it?” 
“No,” 
“Okay,” she said softly “My parents aren’t home, so you don’t have to worry about them,” not surprised. 
I nodded before she grabbed my hand bringing me inside.
“I missed you,” she said stroking my hair as I laid on her bed, my head in her lap. 
“I missed you too,” I wasn’t lying my head drifted to her from time to time. It wasn’t that I wanted to get back together I just missed her presence.  
She smiled sadly at me running her finger over the bags on my eyes. 
“Heavy is the head that wears the crown,” She quotes.
“Yeah well, ’m not queen or princess and definitely don’t have a crown, so we don’t gotta worry ‘bout me,” I said. 
“You’re a princess to me,” I gave a genuine yet tired smile at that.
“You can go to sleep, it’s okay,” She said.
That was the first time I was actually able to fall asleep and without medicine or having to go on a walk or do anything really. 
I woke up in the bed alone only to find Olivia sitting at her kitchen island eating spaghetti. 
She smiled when she saw me coming into view. 
“Sleep well?” She asked.
“Yeah surprisingly,” How long had I been asleep for I wondered.
“It’s 10 pm,” She said, still being able to read me. 
I made my way over to her and sat across her.
“So what’s really going on with you miss Y/N?” She questioned. 
I shrugged “I don’t know, nothing,”
“Are you trying to convince me or yourself? Cause I’m not buying,” 
I explained to her how my dad was being weird and how I wanted to move out now. How I had pretty much vandalized the house. How I found the video of my mom. Just everything. Well maybe not everything I didn’t tell her about Vulture because I feel like she’d try to do something and I didn’t want her to get hurt. 
“Oh wow, damn... holy shit. Are you gonna watch your moms video?” She asked. Huh I hadn’t thought about that.
“I mean of course I will, yeah,” I nodded “Probably, I don’t know I’m scared,”  
“Wouldn’t you rather just push the fear back and watch then wonder the rest of your life what it says.” 
I sighed. Can't argue with that logic.
“I’m assuming you came here because you need a place to stay?” She said. 
“Yes, I need a place to stay just for a while but I don’t want it to seem like I’m just using you I can find somewhere else,” 
“Now it’s fine stay as long as you need but my dad gets back at the end of the month and we both know he doesn’t like you,” She chuckled at the last sentence and I laughed too. 
I was on the ferry heading towards Staten Island now. I knew the sale was for these weird alien shits but that's pretty much all I knew. I figured I’d sort of “out bid” the buyers then get rid of everything. By outbid I mean straight up steal. Some guy in a white pickup truck is officially my target. Thorn was still on hiatus. Meaning no knives unless you count the pocket knife I always had on me, no suit. I did have a trejo though, you know just in case. I couldn’t help my mind from drifting to Pop Smoke’s “I got it on me”. I let out a small laugh.  
I was hiding behind some car waiting for a crack in the plan to slip in. 
That was until Spiderman showed up. It’s like he had a sixth sense to ruin all of my plans. 
Shit 
Well abort mission. Just as I started walking around to get to the side of the boat. The van I was next to had Vulture literally coming out of it. I knew it’d looked familiar. 
I made it up to the top deck looking down on everything unfolding. So a quick rundown,  the FBI was here, meaning Tony Stark or someone with government clearance probably did something because I highly doubt that Spiderman, the Spiderman that I’ve seen hit a window like a bird while swinging, had any government clearance. 
See now I was looking to find a good time to make my escape. That was until that purple alien shit started spewing stuff beams of light through the ship. And fuck, I look away for one second and the new Shocker guy was gone. I turned around and saw he was running in another direction. I chased after him the rubber of my sneakers squeaking on the deck. 
I jumped down onto Shocker’s back sending us both to the floor before he pushed me off. I was definitely going to be sore tomorrow and I’m pretty sure I heard something pull in my leg. 
He jumped off onto the Vulture and I knew I couldn’t do anything anymore. Not like I was just going to shoot them down in public. I saw the light shooting down the middle of the ferry. I was gonna make a run for it but the loud squeal noise was so loud I fell over. Soon I was slung back into what I think was a bench not entirely sure I just knew it hurt like a bitch. 
I’m pretty sure I feel unconscious for like 30 seconds. 
But that was enough because the boat had already split in half and I couldn’t get to the deck or a lifeboat. However Spider-Man was frantically trying to get it together. 
I was trying to be hopeful because everything was looking up, as the parts of the ship got closer together but I think we all know the saying ‘what goes up must come down’ 
Over the ringing in my head I could assume that things were fixed because people were cheering. One thing that comes from cheering is movement and if I learned anything from the elevator it’s that moving in a very unstable metal death box is not a good idea. 
The ship was falling apart again until it wasn’t. It was pushed back together by I could only assume would be our government clearance guy Tony Stark. I looked out the window and yep there he was. 
As soon as I got on solid ground I called my sisters.
“Hiii!” I exclaimed. “Where are you, are you okay?” 
“Yes we’re fine, and where at grandma’s house like you told us to go to where else would we be,” I could almost hear the eye roll in Liyah’s voice. 
“Okay little Miss attitude stay there until I can feel everything out with dad,” 
“Alright,” 
“Okay I love you guys,” I said, getting a small “love you too” from Sapphire. 
“I know,” was the response I got from Liyah. I almost gasped the audacity of this child. 
“Say it back,” 
“Say it back,” She mocked, evoking laughter from both sides of the call. 
“Okay love you too byeeee,” She said hanging up. 
I smiled, I know as much as we get into petty arguments or try to annoy each other on purpose but I’d go to hell and back for those girls. And that’s exactly what I was going to do.

I’ll Love Her Still: Part 10 (Brian May x Female!Reader)
Tumblr media
WELL. It’s certainly been a while, hasn’t it? I know that the whole world has just kinda....ended, but on the bright side, the quarantine has finally made me write more! I’m coming to the last few parts of the fic now, and I honestly can’t believe this journey is going to be over soon. Thank you to everyone who’s supported this story in any way, I’ll never be able to thank you all enough ❤️. 
TAGLIST: @alittlepeoplemagic​; @brianmayplease​; @brianmayscurls​; @chlobo6​; @d-illo​; @delilahmay39​; @kenzie-belle​; @killer-queen-xo​; @kiwithekiwi​; @lizzybeth1986​; @maryfree​; @moreinfinite​; @readinghorn​; @rogerscupboard​; @thelegumemother​ 
TRIGGERS: Guys there is so much angst here. Like seriously, the end of this chapter gets...kind of awful. It’s important for character development! But if fights or name calling triggers you, just sit this part out and wait for the next one. 
“Ladies and germs,” the sound of Freddie’s best flight attendant impression roused you from your slumber, “welcome to sunny California!!”
You rubbed your eyes and looked out the window at the sprawling City of Angels, feeling an excited smile spread across your face. You turned to Brian with bright eyes and held his arm tightly. “Brian!” you said through teeth that were clenched in an uncontrollable smile. “We’re here!”
Brian looked past you and out the window, smiling. “I know!” he mimicked your tone teasingly before pulling back to kiss you on the forehead.
The wheels of the plane touched down (so harshly that you and Brian literally bumped heads, something that the two of you laughed about for the next hour), and the usual production of going to the luggage carousel and declaring your belongings at customs had an added element of enchantment to it. You were finally here- Los Angeles. The American capital of the rock and roll world. Anybody who was anybody made their name out here. And now you were here with Queen; it was almost to surreal to think of.
You didn’t really get to spend much of that day with Brian- he and the boys had to rehearse at the venue and then do press, so you roamed the city with Amber. The dress she picked out for you to wear to the concert and the after party was tasteful, but still clung to your body in just the right ways. It made you feel beautiful. Hell, LA itself made you feel beautiful. Beautiful, happy and… free.
That night, Queen and Mott the Hoople played their absolute hearts out- you could swear that you watched both bands transform into rock gods right before your very eyes. Brian, Freddie, Deacy, Rog… it was a true metamorphosis for the four of them. It was the kind of life-changing performance that you could tell your grandchildren you saw, and say, “I knew them when…”
Still in the clouds after the performance, the Queen entourage made their way to the Continental Hyatt House (lovingly referred to as the “Riot House” by the rock stars you ran with) for the after party. The place was practically swarming with people of all walks of life. Hippies, rockers, groupies, roadies, rock writers, tour promoters- anyone who was anyone was there. It was an overpowering kaleidoscope of long hair and glitter eyeshadow and alcohol. LOTS of alcohol. You’d had the perfect amount- just enough to get you buzzing, not so much that you were going to regret it later. Brian had been by your side for pretty much the whole night, but he also knew that this night was just as much for you as it was for him. This was your chance to reconnect with the scene that you’d left to follow him around the country, and he wanted you to grab it.
You’d seen so many friends already- old friends, the kind you never think about in the day-to-day, and then the minute you see them, it’s as if no time had passed at all. But you were also seeing a lot of familiar faces. Here was the promoter you’d blown for Led Zeppelin tickets, there was the roadie you’d flashed so you could get backstage and catch Roger Daltrey’s eye. They were everywhere, and for the first time in a long time, you felt wholly yourself.
The sunshine glow from your fourth drink was warming you all over, and you felt like you were on top of the world. Then you heard him. “Lily, Lily, Lily. The only woman who was my kind.”
You whirled around and felt your heart soar.
“Joe Walsh, as I live and breathe!!” you laughed and let out a squeal as Joe wrapped his arms around you and spun you in a circle. Out of all the rock stars that you’d been with (before Brian, of course), Joe had been your favorite. He was talented, sweet, and never ever failed to make you laugh. Maybe in another life, something more serious could have happened between the two of you- but now wasn’t the time for that. For now, you were just grinning like a fool, and you felt so happy to see him. “I’ve missed you,” you exhaled.
“I’ve missed you too, sweetheart,” Joe chuckled and set you down. “What are you doing all the way out here?”
“I could ask you the same question! I thought you were in Ohio.”
Joe shrugged and laughed softly. “C’mon, Lily, you know there’s not a whole lot out in Ohio for us. We had to come out here to make it big.” You felt his hands rest softly on your hips, but you didn’t push him away. It felt natural, having him here with you. “What about you?? You finally made it out to LA, like you always wanted.”
“I did,” you grinned. “I’m here with Queen.”
“Aw, shoot, we wanted to see them but we had things to do.”
“Well, you should see them if you can. They’re going to be legends.”
Joe raised his eyebrows. “Legends, huh? Well, Lil, if YOU say it, then it must be so.”
You chuckled softly, finding yourself falling more and more into Joe’s eyes. God, you’d forgotten how captivating he could be. But you didn’t want to take it any further, obviously: you were here with Brian. Where WAS Brian anyway?
“You know,” Joe smirked, “I thought I saw Delphi from Sacramento somewhere here. You maybe wanna grab her and a bottle of José Cuervo and see where the night takes us?”
“Easy there, cowboy,” you laughed, nodding over to the other side of the room, which was the last place you saw Brian, “I’m here with someone else.”
“So he doesn’t let you have fun?” Joe grinned that jackal grin that had always made your heart skip a beat. “I really have missed you,” he added, his voice becoming a little softer.
You tucked Joe’s hair behind his ear and smiled. “Maybe another time, Joe, okay?”
Joe nodded slowly, pressing his lips to the place where your thumb met the rest of your hand. “You must really like this guy, huh?”
A sunny feeling spread across your heart and you nodded. “I do,” you confessed. “He’s different, Joe, he really is.”
Joe was about to say something, but a sing-song voice called, “Jooooooooe” from across the room. The jackal smirk returned to his face again and he sheepishly said, “Guess I’ve gotta go.”
You nodded, understanding. “I’ll see you around, Joe,” you gave him one last smile.
Joe bent down and pressed his lips to your knuckles, a gentlemanly gesture completely at odds with his personality. “Take care of yourself, flower,” he murmured, already halfway to the other voice that demanded his attention.
It was odd- watching Joe leave normally made your heart drop slightly, the feeling of not knowing when you’d see each other again difficult to bear. But it wasn’t there this time. Maybe you were growing. Or maybe you just missed Brian. You decided to go with the latter and try to find him.
Making your way through the maze of glitter and flared jeans, you found yourself in the hallway. After you gave a quick hello to a couple more familiar faces, you saw Brian leaning against the wall, arms crossed. You didn’t pay it any mind- he was probably just tired or cold or something.
“Hey stranger,” you smiled at him.
Brian turned his head slightly and mumbled, “Hello.”
“Where have you been?”
“Around.”
You raised your eyebrows. “You sound like you just walked through the catacombs and the skulls started talking to you.”
Brian smiled unwittingly, lulling you into security. “’M just tired, I guess.”
“Why don’t you go to bed then, granddad?” you teased him slightly. “I’ll come up with you.”
“No.” The harshness of his tone surprised the both of you, and Brian cleared his throat. “I’ll be fine,” he clarified, his voice a bit softer.
His words were falling on deaf ears-  you were already turning around, the pull of an LA party too strong to make you want to leave. “You sure?” you called over your shoulder.
Brian didn’t respond, so you filled in the silence for him. “Okay, then I’ll just-”
“Exactly how much of a slut are you??”
You froze in your tracks. He didn’t… he did not… You turned on your feet slowly. “What did you just say to me?”
“You heard me.” Brian’s eyes were ablaze. “How many people have you fucked before that I’ve met tonight? Hm?”
“Brian, that is… there’s no stretch of the imagination where that could matter in the slightest!”
“How many?” he repeated.
“I-I don’t know, I…” you were sincerely racking your brain, trying to think of who was at this party. “Who’s here?”
Brian scoffed and shook his head, running a hand over his face. “Unbelievable,” he murmured.
“What?” you could feel your mood beginning to sour. “What’s going on with you?”
“‘What’s going on with me??’” Brian laughed humorlessly. “I didn’t realize taking you to L.A. meant I’d be confronted with every guy you’ve ever given the time of day to.”
“I… honey, I didn’t know that there would be so many of them here, okay? I didn’t think it would be a problem.”
“Yeah. Well. It is.”
Your eyebrows furrowed. “Look, Brian, I get that you’re jealous, but that’s no reason t-”
“Jealous?” Brian said mockingly. “What do I have to be jealous about? I’m not some groupie who just goes around letting complete strangers into her bed night after night.”
The confusion in your heart was slowly starting to transform into anger. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“Pretty obvious what it’s supposed to mean, isn’t it?” Brian scoffed. “I’ve got no reason to be jealous of someone like you, hopping from one sucker to another, lying about who they are and thinking that everything’s just going to be hunky dory.”
“Brian,” you said in a tone that you hoped conveyed just how pissed off you were becoming, “I don’t know where this is coming from, but it needs to stop. Now can we please just go back to the party?”
Brian’s eyes narrowed. “So you can find my replacement, right?”
You could feel your hands ball into fists. “You knew what you were getting into with me,” you growled. “The first night we met, I asked you if it bothered you that I was a groupie, and you said ‘no’. You haven’t had any complaints at all before tonight, and now all of a sudden, I’m just trash, is that it?”
Brian shook his head. “You don’t get it, Y/N. Or Lily, or whoever the fuck you are.”
“Brian, if you have something to tell me-”
“I LOVE YOU!”
Oh God.
The silence between the two of you was suffocating. It was a horrible, choking silence that completely knocked the wind out of you. “What?” you gasped, terrified to speak in anything above a whisper.
“I… I love you,” Brian repeated, softer but with the same intensity as before.
Words escaped you. It was like a nuclear bomb had gone off, but you and Brian were the only ones at the detonation site. “Brian,” was all you could say. Not even say, whisper. Hell, not even whisper- it came out like a breath.
“Is that all you’ve got to say?” Brian’s voice cracked slightly despite his best efforts to seem strong.
You took a shaky breath. “I don’t know what else to say,” you admitted, lamely.
“How about, ‘I love you too?’”
You let the sentence form on your tongue. It rolled around in the back of your throat like a marble. But you couldn’t speak it. It couldn’t fall from your lips.
Brian ran a hand down his face. “I knew it. I fucking knew it,” he grumbled. “What were you playing at?” he spoke clearly again, making sure you felt every jab of his words. “Why did you pick me out of everyone in the band? What, was Roger too easy? Was Freddie too smart?”
“Brian, stop it!” you begged. “How could you even think something like that?”
“What else can I think? You have every fucking part of me, and you’ve given me nothing in return!” The hurt in Brian’s eyes was palpable and shot like a rocket, straight to your heart. “All I want is for you to be mine. To go back home after a long tour and have you by my side. To wake up next to you and go to sleep next to you. Take you out on proper dates. Fight over whose turn it is to cook dinner or do laundry. Have you meet my parents. Show you where I grew up. It’s all I can think about, being with you for real.”  
You could feel blood rushing to your head. Where was all of this coming from? “Then what?” you asked harshly. “Marriage? Babies? Eventually leaving me behind while you go on tour and find another girl in every city, just like you found me? Is that really what you want for us??”
Now it was Brian’s turn to be gob smacked. “Y/N… I wouldn’t. I would never,” he said softly.
“And it’s not even that,” you shook your head. “I don’t know if I even want to get married or have kids. I don’t want to be locked down before I even figure out what I want!”
“You think I’m going to lock you down?” Brian said incredulously. “Would being with me really be so bad?”
“No, Brian, I-”
“So then what’s the problem??”
“Because I don’t know if I want to be with you! I don’t know if I want to be with ANYBODY!” you ran a hand through your hair. “I happen to love my life just as it is, and I don’t see any reason to change it or apologize for my choices. Least of all to you.”
You watched Brian’s expression morph from pain back to anger. “What are you going to do if I leave right now?” he snarled. “What if I walk away and just leave you here?”
“I don’t care what you do, because I’M NOT YOURS, BRIAN!”
That was it. Brian spun on his heels and stalked away from you, seemingly ignoring the, “Fine, walk away, real fucking mature!” that you threw at him.
Red clouded your vision, and the noise from the party shifted into a dull drone. You felt like you couldn’t even stand anymore, and you stumbled over to the wall, leaning against it and letting your head fall into your hands. What the actual fuck just happened?
“Oi oi!” You pushed a hand through your hair and slowly turned to see Roger coming down the hall from the same door that Brian had walked out of. He was certainly enjoying himself. “There she is, our sweet Peaches.”
Goddamn it. It was like the mere sound of the nickname popped the balloon that your anger had become, and the tears started to spill out of your eyes. “Fight with Loverboy?” Roger asked, clearly trying to do the “cheer the sad girl up” thing and failing.
“Don’t,” you spat out. “Please, Rog, just…”
“Okay, hey, hey,” Roger said softly, bringing you into his chest and rubbing your back. “Easy there, lovey.”
You knew he was just trying to help, but you also knew you couldn’t bear to be around anyone right now. Least of all, one of Brian’s best friends. You let out a huff and balled your hands into Roger’s shirt. “Can you walk me to the elevator?” you muttered into his chest.
“Course,” Roger replied, not letting you go for a second. The feeling of his arm around your shoulders was the only thing that was keeping you grounded as you made your way to the elevator. Roger pushed the “down” button and looked at you, eyes filled with concern. “Do you need me to stay with you?”
You shook your head. “No. I can’t… I can’t be around people right now.”
“Lily, if there’s something Brian did-”
“Don’t be mad at him,” you found yourself saying. “It’s something between the two of us. We’ll handle it.” Your voice actually felt like it was disconnected from your body.
With that, the elevator doors opened and you broke free of Roger’s embrace. You entered the elevator and pressed the button that led to your floor and watched as the elevator doors closed on Roger and the party you thought would be the best night of your life.
Welcome to L fucking A.

Got what i wanted, got what i needed
This whole year has been crazy and i feel like im bringing in the new year the right way so much has been going on and i don’t even know where to start, i’ll start with Ali Marie so maybe two weeks ago i woke up one morning and i was on i.g laying in my bed and i came across this girl on her story answering questions and this is weird and im normally not like this but as soon as i seen this girl i just knew i had 2 shoot my shot there’s a hope in her eyes i cant put a price on, i assumed she never in a million would give me the time of day or she would reply nicely but not be interested in me, so i asked her could i be her sugardaddy and  i thought that even if she did talk 2 me she would be like all the other girls, just hella money hungry and she would instantly send me her paypal or cashapp like prove you’re serious but she wasnt like that and we just talked and got 2 know each other and i cant front i was completely blown away by her.
She’s 25 she’s a stylist and that is so fucking dope to me because i love fashion, her make up, her fashion sense is so me... she lives in Chicago she has her own place and car, she made it known to me that she’s very independent and prides herself on that she’s not even the type of girl 2 ask for things she’s so prideful and i like that a lot. with that being said she’s very pricey and knows her worth i asked her what she wanted for Christmas and valentines day and she told me she wanted dinning room chairs which wasn’t to much maybe like 550$ which isn’t bad she also wanted a computer for work too and i told her i would get that for her but i was testing her to see how she would react and i love how she wasn’t pressing me about sending her money or buying her things and then one week she left her lunch and i offered 2 buy her lunch so i gave her my credit card info just 2 see if she would spend more than she said and she didnt. 
I don’t trust anyone but for someone reason i trust her, we’ve been big on establishing trust and she’s been really honest with me for the most part but with that being said she’s not afraid to tell me things i might not wanna hear, i have a good feeling about her and not because i want us to work i just feel like she maybe she’s want i need, she’s the kinda girl i dream of she’s demure classy, stylish sexy, the only thing i’ve been thinking of is i am very mushy and romantic and Ali Marie isnt at all and she’s been very open about that but she’s made it clear that she likes me and im guessing ima have 2 have her ease up 2 me, i know that if she shows me any kind of affection its gonna mean the world to me i really wanna hold her in my arms and look into her eyes. i told her 2 catch me if i faint. Last week we kinda clashed because i was worrying and expressing myself too much i was asking her what if she doesn’t like me and she was like we will be fine you will come out here and see the city and we will have fun. she’s right i was over thinkin and i really want things with her 2 be perfect but i just have 2 be confident and beee myself. she threw me off tho cause i was telling her i’d fly out 2 see her when it gets warmer and she was like thats so long from now come sooner babe so i said feb like valentine’s day so the other night i bought my plane tickets 2 see her on valentines day and when i told her i thought she would be happy instead she flipped out and said i should have talked 2 her and she feels like i made plans without running them by her and i was like wait im confused because i thought we talked the week before so i was calm about it and i was like okay no worries i’ll change the dates and for some reason Ali thought i was mad and i wasn’t but she sensed that for some reason but i think the truth is she’s starting 2 like me and the thought of commitment scares her and its really clear to see and i get it because me falling for her scares me like what if she doesn’t like me or what if i wanna cuff her and she’s like no  which is what may happen but i plan on sweeping her off her feet i really wanna have a big impact on her i feel like that George Harrison song because i have my mind set on her i know i have 2 be patient i know ima spend alot of money i know i have 2 keep in mind who she is and what i have but i could be outta my rabbit ass mind but i think i have a fair chance i truly believe if i play my cards right things will be the way i want but i do know that i need 2 figure out when ima see her because before i spend hella money i need 2 know that we click in person ima wait for like 2 to 3 months just so it isnt freezing when i am in Chicago im such a california boy. so for the last week i was worried ali got covid but now she’s fine she’s in Michigan seeing her family so for the next few days we aint gonna talk but i feel like anything that feels like we’re falling into a relationship scares her and i think us talking so much spooked her so i get it ima take things slow but she’s truly something special to me and ima value and cherish her -lpc

y/n 'secretly' dating Cal but then in some random interview Mike says 'im sure i have seen y/n and Cal holding hands behind the table while we ate, think they're dating or something' and then the boys keep saying stuff like 'oh, yesterday they barely kiss infront of me'
- I’ve gotta go do this interview, talk to ya in a bit. Cal wrote.
Being away from him was tough. You guys had been together awhile, but no one really knew about it and you both liked it that way. Ash had questioned it once because you were around a lot more and Cal had pretty much stopped third wheeling it with him and Kay Kay, but you both shrugged it off and he dropped it.
He thought you guys were in the clear, no questions asked.
But the interview went incredibly awry when they started asking about significant others. Cal kept quiet, as he always did, and then he got called out.
“Cal, are you seeing anyone special?”
He kinda shrugs and doesn’t offer anything up.
Mikey pipes up, “yeah, I’m sure you guys have seen them, they are together all the time. I’m pretty sure they were holding hands when they had dinner with Crys and I a few weeks ago. He’s always texting her and calling her. Pretty sure they’re together.”
Calum makes a signature what face, and the rest of the guys decide to out you too.
“Yeah, he always brings her when I invite him to dinner with Kay Kay and I.” Ash says.
“I think I’ve seen them kiss.” Luke murmurs.
“I dunno what you guys are talking about.” Cal tries to cover.
“I think she’s really nice and I just wanna make sure you’re giving her what she deserves.” Ash insists.
Cal shrugs. Staying non committal to anything that’s been said.
When they get done with the interview and get in the car, Cal shuts down, he’s pissed.
-miss you darlin, wish I was coming home to you tonight.
-everything ok baby?
“Hey Cal?” Luke asks quietly to the man sitting next to him.
“Fuck off Luke.” He groans, clicking his phone locked, letting it go dark.
“I’m sorry mate.” He whispers.
“It was shitty of all of you to do that. I don’t care who you think you were helping, it sure as shit was not me.” He sneers.
“Thought you just needed a little coaxing, she obviously makes you happy. Why wouldn’t you want to share that.” Michael shrugs.
“Because she likes the anoniminity, and I like letting her have it, because she’s so honest about fucking everything with me, and if I love her and I’m in love with her then we’re the only two people that need to know that.” He sighs. “This is why i dont tell you guys shit about us. You’ll do shit like this. This was totally fuckin uncool. So just let me be so I can figure out how to break it to her that my idiot friends outed us.” He rests his head back against the window.
They stay quiet for the ride back to the hotel and on the elevator, Luke gently nudges him, “it’s not gonna air for a couple days. Maybe take control of it.” He shrugs.
Cal prepares himself. He’s knows youll do everything in your power to make sure he doesn’t see how this effects you. But he needs to call you and discuss this, ask how you wanna handle it.
You pick up the phone, confused because you didn’t think you’d actually talk to him till later.
“Hey bubba.” You answer.
“How’s my love?” He asks.
“Duke’s good. Just gave him some carrots.” You respond.
“I meant you Darlin.” He smirks. “Can we FaceTime?” He asks, “wanna see you.”
So you turn on FaceTime and you can immediately tell something is wrong.
“What’s up Cal?” You ask, looking at him.
“We just had a real shit interview and I need to talk to you about it.”
“What happened?”
“The boys outed us. It doesn’t air for a couple days but they are definitely going to use it, heard it here first type bullshit.” He watches your face fall.
“Oh.” You nod and process. “I see.”
“I tried to play it off, like it was nothing... but they all had something to share.” He explains.
“It’s ok.” You shrug. “I mean I like what we have Cal.” You’re quiet awhile. Cal lets you stew, he doesn’t know exactly what’s going on in your brain and it’s giving him extra anxiety. “What if... have you considered us just outing ourselves? So it’s not news worthy, when it drops?”
“You’d be ok with that?” He asks, looking a little shocked.
“It’s not... ideal.” You shrug. “But I also would rather my life being taken off guard by my own actions.”
“I... can post to insta and Twitter... that pic of me, you and Duke.. cuddling together. From that weekend we spent in San Francisco.” He offers.
“I like that one.” You nod. “Wish we could be together for this.”
“I can fly you out babe. I’d actually really love that.” He admits. “Kinda wanna hold you.”
“Ok.” You agree. Which actually floors Cal, because you never agree to let him do things like this. You watch his face light up as he reaches for his lap top to book you a ticket.
“See you in a few hours babe.” He says before hanging up.
The picture goes up after you’ve boarded the plane, letting Cal out your relationship on your terms.

crazy rich asians.
masterlist. previous. next.
chapter one ;
     it was the day of the flight. the uber renjun had arranged slows down near the airport’s entrance as the couple readied the bags they were carrying. once the vehicle halts to a stop, the two got out, hauling their hand-carry backpacks and jackets they carry. although it was already spring, the dying winter is still out in the open. the driver hastily grabs their luggage as cars behind them clog up. 
     donghyuck is about to walk away with their things when a woman in uniform came towards them with a sweet, welcoming smile. 
     “mr. huang, i’m here to escort you both to your seats in the plane.” 
     donghyuck blinks. twice. he didn’t know economy tickets gets this kind of service, “excuse me, what.” 
     he winces at how his words came out so blatantly, a sudden shame runs up in him as his body heat up in reaction. 
     renjun ignored his partner’s reaction to evade any misunderstanding with the airline staff and said, “thank you.” 
     the woman nods in response, smile never leaving her face and spoke sweetly, “this way, please.” 
     renjun reaches his hand for donghyuck’s and intertwines them, his small hand tugging his lover’s big ones. 
     “hey, our luggage—“ 
     “don’t worry about that, let’s go.” 
     donghyuck’s mouth clamps shut. he came to a conclusion that this was the type of privilege only first class people can have when he saw how easily they went through security, not having to wait in lines, and especially, having a personal escort. donghyuck’s mind begins to wander off as he observes the inside of the plane while the flight attendant tours them around. everything around him screams in rich he knew he could never afford even with five years of saving. then it occurred to him. how could they be in a  such privilege if donghyuck and renjun split the expenses they had planned the nights prior? 
     the tour has come to an end to their own suite. there are two foldable chairs, big enough for a bed when extended, beside each other. there’s a wall forming enclosing the beds, making it a small room, with two doors parallel to each other. 
     the moment the woman is out of sight, donghyuck’s head snapped at renjun, “baby, we can’t afford this for a travel that’s like,” he made exaggerated hand movements, “an hour and a half.” 
     donghyuck wants to scream, laugh, and cry at the same time at how ridiculously this is wasting money. he had given renjun his split of the expense for the plane tickets so he was worried how much the other chipped in for this luxury.
     “my family has business with the airlines and the tickets are… a perk, you could say,” says renjun, putting down his bag and removing the jacket he was wearing then sat on the bed. 
     donghyuck feels as if he was hit like a gong in his head, “so your family is like… rich?” 
     not that he didn’t mind nor cared about the money; what mattered to donghyuck is that renjun didn’t bother to tell him. 
     renjun pauses, hesitance evident on his face, “we’re comfortable.” 
     “that’s what a super rich person would say,” donghyuck counters in a beat. he was bewildered at how his boyfriend kept it all in secret. the idea didn’t even reach his mind that his partner comes from a rich family when he dresses and acts nothing like them. 
     the older just laughs, finding donghyuck’s reaction cute, “i try not to think of it as my money, though.”
     renjun was surely a unique one. he knows he can get everything he wants in an instant but it never one crossed his mind. donghyuck began to wonder how he was brought up by his family. his family. there was a bucket of pressure drop on his shoulders. donghyuck knew he came from a poor family, only having a mother and his three younger siblings. following his dream to be a producer and singer was risky but his mother encouraged him, working extra hours at the local ramen shop in seoul just to pay for his eldest’s college tuition. it did pay off. now, he was local artist and part time dj with a growing reputation. 
     donghyuck sighs, looking down at his hands, “wow,” shoulders slouching, “i mean i don’t care about the money part but—how—what—you like to hang out in that smelly park and my dingy apartment rooftop for pete’s sake!” 
     “i really like those places, by the way,” renjun feigns an offended look then looks up the ceiling, “those are great places for painting and stargazing.” 
     it was true. those places were the frequent dating spots they have on daily basis. 
     “yeah,” donghyuck replies, “but i kind of feel upset because you didn’t bother to tell me, though.” 
     a small frown sits upon donghyuck’s perfect soft lips. renjun’s heart ached with guilt, seeing his boyfriend like that. with a slightly shaking hand, renjun reaches for donghyuck’s own and encloses it on his both hands, “i’m sorry i didn’t tell you. as cheesy as this is gonna sound but when I met you, I never felt so normal in my life. you didn’t know who i was or where i came from. all of the expectations from my family, friends, anyone who knew me, were gone. it was like freedom i never knew existed. and i will always be grateful of you for giving me that.” 
     donghyuck wanted to cry. he wanted to wallow at his boyfriend’s speech and cry his heart out. not knowing what to say, he smiled lovingly at renjun and noticed the tears threatening to fall out of the other’s eyes. 
     “awwe, is the baby crying?” 
     renjun wiped the tears before they fall, muttering a “shut up,” to which the taller one just laughed and grabbed renjun’s cheeks, giving it a squeeze. 
     despite the lovely moment, there was a lingering question in donghyuck’s mind. the older senses this as it showed on donghyuck’s face, a change of emotion. renjun doesn’t know why there’s a shiver of fear pass through him. “what’s wrong?” 
     with a troubled look, donghyuck debates whether to tell him or not, he goes with the former, “since it’ll be my first time meeting your family… i kinda wanna know what i’m getting into like which cousins i am meeting or something,” he rambles on. 
     a gush of relief bleeds through renjun. he didn’t know what he was expecting nor why he was afraid, “oh, of course. um—well,” renjun doesn’t know where to begin. heaving a sigh, he continues anyways, “you already know i have gay parents, that’s a start, they get backlash for their relationship status but that doesn’t stop them from having successful businesses. my cousins however, are a handful,” renjun thinks back to the memories shared with his cousins. 
     there was wong kunhang/huang guanheng, known as the prince to the public. he was dubbed the prince for his looks and personality, minus the weirdness he exudes when he is with the people he’s comfortable; he is the literal definition. he is heir to the line of bags and shoes production within the family along with him being one of the top models in asia.
     next was xiao dejun, commonly called xiaojun, is cunning but a softie deep down. he has sharp looks that has got women and men whipped. xiaojun is heir to the jewelry line and is in the period of being an apprentice still practicing his trade. 
     next, zhong chenle, the youngest cousin and also known as president chenle. he has a cute demeanor that makes everyone want to adopt him but don’t let it fool you, he is mischievous. chenle is heir to the zhong airlines, the most booming business renjun’s family has, thus the younger being called president chenle. 
     then there’s dong sicheng, renjun’s favorite and closest cousin. renjun already shared bits of information about the cousin to donghyuck and even showed him a picture to which his boyfriend only gush over how cute renjun’s cousin is. 
     “i’m finally meeting THE dong sicheng?” donghyuck beams at renjun excitedly. by now, the couple had laid on the bed after the plane take off, face to face. 
     renjun’s face turned sour, “okay, i’m regretting inviting you to meet my family,” he slides away from donghyuck and sits up. 
     “nooo,” donghyuck whines, “i’m just kidding! come back i need cuddles!” 
      the rest of the travel is spent cuddling after donghyuck attacking the other with pecks and aegyos until renjun had enough of it and gives in. the atmosphere around them are filled with happiness and love donghyuck almost doesn’t wanna tear away from renjun when the captain announced to buckle up. 
     at the heat of the moment beside the love of his life, donghyuck almost forgets what’s awaiting him.
