COOKING WITH PRINCE
genre. fluff. crack. warnings. obv this wouldn't happen irl it's all just for fun <3 i tried to emulate prince's captions in his videos as best i could, as well as his overall vibe but i am just a new ghostie so sry if its a bit inaccurate :( pairing. prince x fem!reader. wc. 720. request. requested by @haecien, here: cooking w prince even if he doesn't get the recipe a/n. mwahaha so ofc i had to start writing for ghost9 babies someday and prince was a good place to start esp since his cooking videos are absolutely amazing (go show them a lot of love if you haven't already as well as prince's (and all of ghost9's) instagram!!!) and stan ghost9 obv
you didnât plan on crashing your boyfriendâs solo baking fest in the practice room on a random tuesday afternoon
you werenât even used to the prospect of your boyfriend cooking
for the years youâve been dating Prince, you have done 100% of the baking in the relationship (though you had always urged him to try it out since it was fun)
ever since his videos have been doing better than anyone could have predicted, heâs been excited to make something with whatever he had on his hands
from the usual baking ingredients along with several very overripe bananas, you could easily tell what he was planning to bake today: banana bread, one of your favouritesÂ
but also knowing your boyfriend, you knew things would probably turn into a disaster if he didnât have a recipe
so naturally the first thing you asked was to see the recipe he was following
âI swear I had one somewhere when I was gathering the ingredients, but I literally canât find it.â
he just brushed off your concerns about him possibly poisoning himself, you, and the ghost9 members
âThe last time I baked, I didnât even follow the recipe because it was in cups. Itâll be fine, baby, you just need to have faith.â
you were planning to leave and let him film in peace, but your boyfriend was persistent that you stay especially because he was making one of your favourite baked goods
you relented easily, really it was hard to say no to him, plus the prospect of baking together seemed kind of fun!
more like a chaotic disasterâŚ
most of it was spent playfully arguing over how much of each ingredient to put in
Prince seemed insistent that you should remember exactly how much of every ingredient for him to measure down to the gram
obviously, you didn't, and eventually you stopped trying to help completely and just let him do his thing
though you did stay behind him to supervise, and your hands were visible in the final video messing with his hair and occasionally giving him a loving slap tap on the cheek when he messed something up
once the banana bread was finally in the oven, the two of you joked about what the voiceover should be
you didn't have the highest expectations for how it tasted, but you knew it would at least be pretty good
all the things your boyfriend had cooked in the past had been decently delicious
it turned out pretty well, and you were happy you were there to annoy him help him with it
bonus: what I think the voiceover would be like
welcome back to cooking in the practice room đ§âđł until I get busted by my manager đ¨đŽ today we have a very special guest joining us đđĽâ¨my girlfriend⨠thatâs right đ us idols đ§âđ¤đ¤ are actually in relationships đ despite what most people want to believe! tbh my girlfriend was not đ
ââď¸ supposed to be joining me today đ but weâre making banana bread đđ which happens to be her favourite đâźď¸ so I just had to let her join đ¤ˇââď¸ as you probably know if you watched my chocolate stuffed coffee bun đŤâ video, I donât bake⌠but my girlfriend does đ I had a recipe for this, but I think peter got hungry đ and ate it or something, so no recipe đđŤ but again, at least I have my girlfriend đ so it should be fine, right? sheâs made this hundreds đŠâđŤ of times đ§âđłđ (sheâs literally a minion guys idk why she loves bananas so much đâď¸) but despite that she is still somehow clueless đ¤ as to how much flour I should be measuring đ but itâs fine đ we just dumped sugar đ flour â butter đ§ bananas đ eggs đĽ and baking powder into a bowl 𼣠and hoped that they would magically â¨đ§ turn into banana bread đ¤ and guess what đ§ they did â¨đ I also added chocolate đŤ because my girlfriend materialized it out of nowhere đââď¸đŤ I have no one but my girlfriend to thank đ for distracting me by pulling on my hair đââď¸ and telling me I was doing it wrong every 2 minutes đ but jokes đ on her because this banana bread was delicious even without a recipe ���� 10/10 would bake again đĽ¸

What If Scenario - Helia didnât have feelings for FloraâŚat first.
An AU where its more of a friends to lovers for Helia and love at first sight for Flora. One-sided pining until itâs almost too late.
So, it starts with Flora and Helia and their iconic meeting. Flora falls for him but Heliaâs just like âhm, nice girl.â He makes a habit out of drawing people/strangers and gives it to them. But, Flora starts to develop a crush on him because of the drawing and also because heâs hot.
They organically become friends, with Flora (retaining her wonderful season 1 personality) making an effort to get to know him. This happens because he is assigned to the squad and is having a hard time adjusting. At one point, Flora confesses to him she feels left out too because Aisha and her used to be close until Musa and Aisha became closer. Sheâs not jealous because she knows Aisha cares about her but it does make her feel a little bit like no one in their group really gets her.
Helia has trauma (ofc he does) and is hesitant to make friends. Why? Because his old squad were assholes to him and when a mission went wrong, a lot of people got hurt and they blamed it all on him thinking theyâd get away with it since he is Saladinâs grandson. Did that happen? Ofc not. Helia being Helia didnât argue and simply accepted his fate. Saladin kind of forced him to take a break from RF, go for therapy and try and get his shit together. Hence, the gap year at a local art school on Magix proceeded by him showing up again on Saladinâs doorstep and refusing to leave since he almost died at the end of season 1.
Helia tries to convince Saladin that he is ready to be back. Saladin has his doubts. He puts him with Skyâs team and Helia thinks its a test because who are these lovable dysfunctional idiots but really itâs because Saladin knows heâll fit right in. Now he just has to convince Saladin (truly, himself) that he is meant to be a Specialist and so they go on missions and yada yada. Back to where I trailed offâŚ
Heâs truly not interested in relationships right now because he has way too much on his plate but he does grow fond of Flora and appreciates the efforts she puts in to make him part of the group. Even helps her out with her own insecurities and helping her gain her Charmix. They become close and the closer they get the more Flora is reluctant to ever confess.
The girls hound her about it, the boys assume Helia has any idea that Flora has a crush on him but nothing happens because angst is what keeps us alive. ALSO. Helia, Flora and Aisha friendship with Aisha being stuck in the middle of these oblivious idiots after Helia and Aisha bond over being the newbies â- something she was forced into after Flora pushing her but then ends up genuinely enjoy Heliaâs friendship proceeded by Helia helping Flora get closer to Aisha again after they drifted for a while there.
So now Helia reaches a point around in season 3 right before Eraklyonâs Anniversary Party (i think we all know where this is going đ ) and he realises when Sky invites him that he really is a part of the squad and that they are really his friends. Its like his moment of realising that hey heâs on the other side and reached the end of the tunnel. Like. Heâs happy. Heâs healthy. So, he agrees to go to the ball/party idk
Now. We love a little jealous moment during the pining stage. So, Stella sets Flora up with a date for the party â maybe Brandonâs cousin or Skyâs friend (she knows what sheâs doing). Then, casually assigns Aisha as Heliaâs date which he is fine about until he sees Flora in the ballgown ( cue that scene when Brandonâs jaw drops after seeing Stella at her Princess Ball ). Now heâs not too happy about Flora having a date to the ball. Does he talk to her about it? No. He sulks in one corner in true Helia style because hopping planets isnât an option right now and his therapist told him no.
Aisha decides to give him a wake up call. Heliaâs like pft no, Flora doesnât like me like that sheâs nice to everyone. Aisha tries not to hit him. At some point, Helia had told Flora he wasnât looking for a relationship and wasnât ready and she was like good for you I support you 100% bestie even though she was dying on the inside (haha wonder where that was inspired from, definitely not projecting what). So, Flora never made any move on him.
He asks if Flora still has a crush on him. Aisha refuses to tell him. He gets frustrated and then gets even more frustrated seeing Flora dancing with the other guy because what if sheâs moved on which he would have appreciated before he had the epiphany at the worst time possible. Decides to impulsively cut in and Floraâs like huh but then stupid Sky (i love him) decides its the perfect time to announce his love for Blo- nope, Diaspro.
They all get distracted trying to run from certain death at the hand of their friend turned cruel prince (cardan my beloved but thats not relevant). Flora then gets attacked by Skyâs dragon.
Angst.
Helia finally realises that shit he loves her. Sheâs his best friend and he canât lose her <\3 Tries not to breakdown and fails miserably. Therapist tells him its good he is feeling his feelings because they are annoying like that (the good ones are life-savers)
Flora doesnât die and Helia was a little overdramatic because Magic makes healing faster and less painful. But, now he needs to deal with his feelings for his best friend which is what he calls her when she wakes up and shes like aw, same <3.
Flora senses the shift in him but remains oblivious to his awkward flirting and thinks he is being extra sweet since she was hurt. Aisha is trying not to pull out her hair.
Flora gets her Enchantix, Helia is still miserably in love but then starts to avoid her because he is so confused and he does not want to ruin his friendship with her. Flora is sad but sheâs too busy saving the world so they stay quietly missing each other
Then Tecna gets sucked into the Omega portal. Helia is there for her again, no longer avoiding her and he helps her through it. She tells him she was afraid that another friend grew tired of her or bored and drifted away. She feels like she tries to be there for people and a shoulder to cry on but after a point its all she is. Sometimes she thinks thatâs all she knows. She thought this time itâd be different.
Helia almost confesses but knows this isnât the right time because she is grieving. But he assures her that she is not forgettable or replacable. Tries to make her believe it but she doesnât seem so convinced. Internally beats himself up but his therapist assures him that healing is not linear (i need to text back mine)
They save Tecna, hurrah and now Nabu is in the picture. Hello, Aisha đ
They go to the Red Tower looking for Water Stars. Riven and Helia stay behind, Flora sends the cute little video message and Riven sees Nabu and gets ready to throw hands
When Helia tries to stop him, Riven calls him out and says hey at least im fighting for the girl i like. Heliaâs like da fuck? Does everyone know but me? Riven calls him stupid and then leaves him to his overthinking in his towel. (Yall know what scene im talking about)
Anyways, they get the Water Stars and they come back but Floraâs quiet again. Helia tries to get her to open up and she tells him her test in the crystal labyrinth was about her worst fear of being forgotten. That if she wanted the water stars, she would have to choose to be forgotten by everyone, that they forget they ever knew her. Of course she chose that path because the universe was more impt than that.
Even though the council of elders eventually restored the sacrifices, for a while no one remembered she existed and thatâs terrifying.
Helia tells her he canât imagine a world without her in it. Cue intense eye contact and then they kiss.
Finally. Cue Aishaâs florelia senses tingling like that Charles scene in b99 with peraltiago (please understand this reference)
Flora is the first to pull away thinking she kissed him even though it was very much a simultaneous effort from both parties. She panics and apologises. Helia is hurt that she looks like she regrets every decision she has ever made in her life but understands. She runs away. (Girl, same)
The last one of the gang turns 18 so they decide to go to the club for the first time. Since Aisha had Nabu now, Stella declares that Helia will be Floraâs date. Are they happy about it since theyâve been avoiding each other? Nope. Do they say no? Also no.
They sit awkwardly in the club once the pairs start pairing off. Not talking until Flora canât stand the silence and apologises again. Says she doesnât want to lose him as a friend. Helia agrees even though he wants to be more. They are okay for a bit before Valtor that diva sky-telecasts his challenge to duel the headmasters.
More angst and so this is why this will never be written out into a fic as my patience is a thin as my hair.
Helia is worried about Saladin but Saladin assures him Helia is ready to be on his own if anything should happen to him during the duel. He isnât afraid to leave Helia behind because he knows he has his people now.
Then he tells him to tell Flora how he feels.
How does Saladin know? He gives some weird wise sarcastic answer like âIâm all-knowingâ but really itâs because Faragonda told him. Sheâs the one thatâs actually âall-knowingâ aka invades the privacy of her fav students and ships them.
Final battle with Valtor happens. Flora returns safely and they do share the hug at the end of the episode. Helia decided to tell her how he feels but at a better time and they agree to sit down and talk about it once its all over.
Is it over yet? Haha no. Valtor is still alive, kidnaps the specialists and leaves Helia behind. On the way to save his friends, he walks off to the back of the ship and admits to Flora he feels like he failed to protect him. She comforts him and he tells her that he was so scared he wont make it out alive. That Valtor was going to kill him. She starts tearing up.
He tells her that all he could think about as he possibly faced his last moments was not telling her how he felt. She tells him she has feelings for him too. But, ofc the moment doesnât last and they are pulled back into the cockpit.
Now. Itâs over for reals. Stella throws another Princess Ball because I would too if i got turned into a monster halfway at my first one.
After all the intense moments and will they wonât they moments and pining and anticipation⌠they finally have a good, soft Florelia moment and they get together. The end.
#this#got out of hand#as usual#but oh well#imagine I dragged this on to season 4#now thatâd be fun#but yeah this never getting written#but anyone else is free to do so if they like the idea#if you have gotten this far into the post then here have a candy

i'm a bit riled up after watching the first episode of Queen of Tears particularly
heavily copying Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin's wedding for the drama leads Hong Hae-in and Baek Hyun-woo
please permit me this take
in the drama, the wedding was cut into two scenes and it is not merely alluding to the wedding, they used the same venue, floral arranger, style of outfits (both bride and groom), photo angles, invitation wordings, earrings you get it. it's not just "binjin coded," it's poaching.
this is what bothers me: it's a private closed-door wedding that the writer (crash landing on you screenwriter park ji eun) attended. everything is meant to be for the guest's eyes only but ofc leaks came out. does it make it fair game to replicate them to a tee? hardly.
i get trying to copy like...one of the royal weddings in london or the one with grace kelly of monaco, but those weddings were public events of public (as in govt-instated not celebrities) figures televised worldwide. im confused why they need to do this, and it's not over in just a few seconds too. it's milking off the actual material. why not try to be original? why not make one the drama can call its own? don't they deserve as much?
people argue it's a cute homage and it's for marketing. so you mean it's okay to exploit an actual couple's intimate wedding that spent 10M won for security detail alone? if anything it took away from the harmony of what should be a solid first episode for the drama.
also fine let's define a homage (or tribute what have you)
from msstate.edu
if say the writer decided to pick out a couple of elements such as a flower arch or a rooftop wedding similar to the binjin wedding that evokes the original material, the bride's cut of dress, sure that could be a nod. but certain creative licenses must be taken (and must be the focus) for the "imitation." it should be a subtle reference, not an outright copy paste.
when it's not used as a transformative device that will elevate the material, it's a copy. it signals a lack of originality and effort, which undermines a creatorâs authenticity. it disrupts the original workâs integrity and tone, giving audiences a disjointed experience that detracts from true creative expression AND immersion. In turn, imitation is less a homage and more of a disservice to both the creator and the audience.
that drama would have benefited with a creative take of the ml/fl wedding. instead they are impostors copied and pasted in binjin shoes, it took me off the flow and story.
they already set the scene, why not do something dissociated with something so famous? something that's their own. something that wont look sloppy and feel like grabbing the rights to the actual wedding material.
edit: lol reading this rant a few days later and i really got worked up
it's just that, this couple made painstaking efforts to keep everything private and what little came out of it have become like idk rain in a chilean desert to fans like me. it feels sacred, like this is their personal thing, and to see people calling it as 'Hae-in and Hyun-woo's wedding' is a slap to their faces. even if permission was granted, it just doesn't sit well that they went to great lengths to make sure it's faithful unless this was like a korean version of the crown.
and if i'm protective of my favorite people (who are known to be extremely private) what of ittttt.

iâm gonna be a thousand percent real w you guys for a min, its gonna be under a read more, and it revolves around fears and pains and scary medical things and g/ov3r/nm3nt bullshit and stuff which is uhhh destroying me mentally and physically ig ahahahhaa
so like as some ppl know, when i was leaving work late nov/early dec of 22, i fell and injured my âlegâ, it was a few days before i turned 26 and i couldnt get a doc appt in time w a real doc, and ofc bc i was on the male parentals insurance and it was based out of texas despite US being in california, i got completely fucked over bc they didnt want ro cover shit and i had to argue with them til almost the very end of december or so just to see a nurse practitioner who didnt know wtf she was gonna do, and refused to listen to me when i said i was not going to have insurance in a week. i cannot afford any expansive anything right now and anything that i have to do needed to be done before the end of december. all she said was âi hope you get better then, but they will call you when they feel like it.â
its been over a year, im still not better, because i was not clocked in at the time, and was injured in the parking lot, hr already said they wont cover it. even if i was only at that location (not my home location) for them, i was not clocked in and therefore they hold no responsibility, and the parking lot had no cameras anyways. its all just word of mouth so. i got fucked there too. C/alo/ptima has been fujcing useless and wont even send me my new insurance card so i can get a new regular pcp who will refill even just my fucking inhaler because the guy they gave me refused to even refill that.
now, when ive gotten the leg scans, they cant find anything. they dont know whats wrong. âoh youre just fat, lose weight and youâll be fine.â
breathing shots pain into my leg. and the pains been spreading. ive been getting a little bit of weird treatment at work despite dlat out ignoring and pushing through my pain to please people and that wasnt even enough because i still got some pretty weird ass treatment from some ppl in management despite the fact im not choosing this, and ignoring it makes everything worse.
and ive been trying to push through and ignore it and hope it heels, because the medical system isnt going to help me, neither is the company, and i live in california. i really just cant afford the medical system here anyways.
i think when i fell, it clipped a nerve into my spine, because for those unaware im that special brand of au/tistic who can tell you the exact point of origin of my pain. from tooth pain to headaches to even searing body aches, i can tell you where it starts and where it ends. but i also have a massive pain tolerance (ive had 8 root canals and local anesthesia doesnt work on me thanks to adhd, i can and have had 9 bottles injected in and nothing happened, so i just dont use it and ignore the horrendous fucking pain of your nerves being killed because i dont want to bother anyone. THAT is my pain tolerance level, and i cant tolerate this.)
the pain is spreading to both of my legs, and when i ignore it i end up toppling over. i used to be a hula dancer, professional as a kid, still for rec until i got hurt. i cant do it anymore. i can barely walk. when i force myself into events and shit that requires walking, it feels like my entire body is being crushed the next day, and during the actual day of doing but thats obvious.
i dont know how to take it anymore, nothing is helping, no one is helping me, and even people who try to help me its like the system is working for them despite refusing to work for me. i really well and truly dont know what to do about this anymore. the pain from my spine isnt only in that leg now, its in both legs and keeps creeping to my arms. im obviously not gonna get help from the company, and even talking to a lawyer its a fucking long shot that i could get anything done from them at all since the parking lot didnt have cameras. i already have eds, and this has been setting off the issues relating to it even more. i was meant to get tested for pots before i lost insurance back then, but new doctor doesnt believe women can experience pain at all, and are lying for attention if they admit to it.
breathing is fucking painful, and i dont know what to do. i can just keep doing what im doing and ignoring my pain and pushing through to please everyone because its not like the system helps, but the system is working for others and when i do what they recommend i do it not only still doesnt work for me, but i get threats from it. i dont know if its because im autistic or not, indont know why it works for others and not for me, i dont understand and when i try to get answers all people say is âjust push throughâ but im trying and its making everything worse and im breaking my body more and more by just pushing through and indont want to get kicked off of c/alo/ptima for bothering them too much by not getting answers despite my efforts because i did get threatened and incant afford $250-500 monthly fees from my state if i dont have insurance. $250 is more than i earn a week. jts not like im getting hours at work. and i really just am so fucking broken and tired and confused and done i dont know what to do and im tired of being in pain. i just want the pain to go away. i dont want to cry anymore. i dont want to be confused and scared and alone anymore. its like everythings collapsing down and i dont know what to do.
and to top it all off, the skin welts and lesions that my old doctor was so terrified of me having are back. theyre a symbolism of my white blood cell count, and last time i got them he had me get blood tests every few months because he was worried about my developing leukemia. and everytime it got too high he gave me something to try snd prevent it, and ultimately i was âalmost there but narrowly escapedâ, and i dont know how im supposed to just keep pushing and keep living and keep going it that happens too. especially when incant afford a blood test right now. i dont know what im doing or who i am anymore and its destroying every semblance of who i am that i had left, and i just want to make everyone happy but im not happy. im not happy snd im not getting help snd i feel so defeated and indont understand how other people can argue andnits fine but i do it and i get threatened or retaliated against.
indont understand how if i do whats recommended im misbehaving and being wrong but others can do what they want. its like im a kid again but instrad of being beaten im just getting fucked over medically even more snd my body gets to further destroy itself and i dont know whay the fuck left there is to do. its like everythings collapsing down on me, jm not getting the samw care or treatment others get, and i dont think im going to because i cant keep fighting a system thats going to only verbally threaten me because they wont respond to emails. i cant use recorded conversations in court here. im scared and im tired and im in constant pain and had to beg my old doctor to send an inhaler refill without my seeing him because the new one wouldnt and my lungs were giving out. i dont want to die but it feels like its heading rhat way whether i want to or not because nothing and nobody will help me and when they try they get mad at me for ânot trying harderâ but im doijt everythint they say and more and its nothing. nothings coming crom it but my suffering. but if i say its not my fault its âmaking excusesâ and injust cant keep doing this anymore. im so tired, and im in so much pain, and indont know what to do.

Danny puts in the hours to figure out duplicates faster expressly so he can flirt w/Wes as Fenton & Phantom at the same time
(everyone sees them both at the same time & just 'see they aren't the same person)
& you know Danny is milking this bit for all its worth.
He does the whole dedicate wins/wink/throw kisses as phantom a good two weeks
Then he starts up as Fenton.
Fentons don't do half measures: the first thing he does is present Wes with a bouquette of three red roses surrounded by blue hyacinths, white roses, & forget-me-nots.
Then he hands him a box.
Spoiler alert: Danny bought a triple star system and named the stars "Fenton," "Weston," and "Phantom."
He goes to class before Wes can formulate a reply.
The school is losing their minds like "hey okay so Fenton doesn't mind Wes dating both Dannys?"
"No way he's obviously just making grand gestures to try & win him over while doing his best to ignore his jealousy"
"But have you seen Phantom? Who wouldn't have a crush on him?"
"Maybe the ghost hunters' kid who runs every time he sees something green or feels even slightly chilly?"
"He could just be shy!"
Yeah, Casper high (& Amity in general) are going wild making up theories about it all, and Danny isn't answering questions.
He does keep it up with the gifts tho.
The next it's a bag of Wes' favorite food - chocolate covered raspberries.
Then it's a pair of anti-ecto knuckles (like brass knuckles, but for fighting ghosts).
Then Phantom gives him a necklace made of what looks like pure diamonds (it's ghost ice).
So the next day Fenton doesn't have a gift & they worry maybe it was jealousy.
Until he walks in with a jewelry box the next morning like "Sorry it took so long. I had little trouble figuring out how to get the crystallization just right." He opens the box to a necklace that shines like emerald. Danny explains that it's crystallized ectoplasm.
(Danny fully kicked his parents out of the lab. He lured them into the kitchen then locked the door behind him. They're half ready to bash in the door when he's like "I need the lab so I can one-up Phantom!" They have him let them watch 'for safety reasons' and he's like "FINE but touch NOTHING." They're in awe about the crystal ecto. Danny has to swat their hands away several times throughout the process tho lol)
Wes out here like "I don't even wear necklaces???"
This goes on for another week before both Dannys are seen together for the first time: together, handing him a basketball signed by his ten favorite players.
Wes is just mentally screaming bc it's the best gift ever but how are there two of him???
A lot people were worried that even if Fenton wasn't scared of Phantom, Phantom might dislike him for being a Fenton, so one of the A-listers is like "so you guys get along? You're not, like, jealous of each other?"
"Nope!" Fenton grins bright, cheerful.
"We've come to an agreement," Phantom looks like the cat that ate the canary as he drapes an arm over Fenton's shoulder.
They look to Wes, speaking as one "We don't mind sharing."
Wes turns beet red and makes a noise like a dying animal (a dying 'in denial' more like lol).
Jack & Maddie appear, ofc, & the phantom dupe sinks into the ground & cancels itself. Then they lecture Danny & Wes about ghosts being evil/not dateable. Forbid Danny from being involved w/Phantom even if it is indirectly via same boyfriend & tell Wes they'll talking to his parents as well about the whole ghost thing
The A-listers nearby try to argue about it being romantic/phantom being a hero, but they ignore & take Danny home. Cue Amity going absolutely feral about the move from 'ghost & hunter's child competing for a partner' to 'forbidden romance between ghost, human, & ghost hunter child'
Danny starts talking up Phantom when people ask if he thinks he's cute. Wes gets moody about it bc he's like 'ur inflating ur own ego u rat bastard' but Danny just 'there's no need to be jealous, Wes' *looks him up & down 'you're cute too'
Wes' gay ass is struggling with his enemies-to-lovers gay awakening. Manz is going tomato colors on the reg now. He goes for to a movie or something with Danny & gaslights himself about it like 'ah yes, an opportunity to try and gather more evidence. Despite the fact that I forgot all of my recording devices at home...'
Danny giving his parents the silent treatment until they start treating phantom like a person.
Maybe he lets them catch a duplicate when he thinks they actually want to talk to Phantom & hear him out? idk
I just need a fanfic where everyone thinks that Wes keeps saying that Danny and Phantom are the same person because he has a crush on both of them and it's in his negation phase.
He does not. He swear he doesn't. You just don't understand. There's a whole investigation made by himself to PROVE that they're, indeed, the same person.
And they go all like, yes Wes, we know you are a little bit crazy about love but we respect and support you as long as you don't become a stalker or worse. We accepted ghosts, we can accept a poly boy.
And Danny doesn't help. He's all "oh Wea, I didn't know you think so good about me đłđłđł" And Wes all "I DON'T" and Sam/Tuxker all "You don't treat my child like that."
Phantom,on the other side starts to flirt with him, jokingly. Dedicating him some wins, throwing him kisses, winking an wye in his direction, etc.
Amity Park is sure that there's a whole love triangle and it's kind of fucked up because in one side we have the strongest ghost and in the other side we have tiny child from ghost busters. That's drama.

I'm so very happy w/fs2, but a small part of me is tinitiny (very tiny) bit salty about the reconciliation going your way (that's not a beef, I love you tremendously!). you were so sure that rin should be the one to step up, even though majority seemed to disagree (on my dash), but they still went your way. it makes all the sense now to me that it happened and I'm just wondering if that's my bias-ness for rin that blinded me, since I was one of the idiots politely arguing with you after the fs1
LOL I think it's perfectly fine that you feel that way, bc it's kinda a forever debate between to say tsunderes/antisocial ppl/silent types who watch such couples and the social ones. I'm just saying it bc I myself when watching such ships with my hommies, it's literally EVERY TIME one part of the couch goes (aka my mom) "but he (Haru or Lan Zhan or Qiling or Sangwoo or etc) doesn't talk, how's he supposed to know" or "that doesn't count unless u say" or "he should'veâŚlalala" and the other part of the couch (aka me and my sister who don't talk but show things other way) start to agressively disagree and it literally always ends like this:
And I mean, ofc depending on your personality you would watch things differently and feel things differently bc we express our feelings differently. Like I've only recently watched this korean gay dating show where there was a guy who also didn't talk but I from other things from the start guessed who he liked and then at the end turned out that none of the participants there "saw it coming" which to me was pretty wild lmao. So my point is, I got it a long time ago from real life harshly and in many comments under different shows that most people find it hard to understand these signs or even see it. On behalf of "my species" I apologize, but sometimes thats the best we can do really.
I always due to this try to look at these (my favorite) types of pairings from both sides, even tho I know I'm clearly biased too. And my main argument in this cases (as in who must "step up" as you say) is that if one despite of who he is tried as hard as he could to deliver his feelings even painfully so surpassing his comfort zone and the other didn't, then the one who should be stepping up is the one who didn't. I think thats how it usually works at the end. I just know from my own feelings that for them it was very hard to step out of their comfort zone and thats why in such stories writers always reward them at the end for that I think.
That being said in that particular case also I think you have to watch it from the point of who in his way did everything he could when it comes to their relationships and was fully invested without lying to himself and who wasn't. And it was Rin who constantly backtracked due to being scared (for respectable reasons, but still), Haru was fully in for a long time. I just think bc of all the metaphors about swimming and water and the fact that they also want to be together everywhere for life including their profession, some mixed up a bit here the professional and personal aspects.
Like when it comes to their way in professional life goals it was Rin who had no fear and Haru did (also for his own respectable reasons). But when it comes to their feelings it was Haru who had no fear, since the very beginning, but Rin did.
Also personally for me actions always speak louder than words, but at the same time I do understand that hearing some things are also very much needed. So I think its fine to feel both ways, I personally don't really get mad when ppl don't get it.
The only thing that gets me going into a heavy debate sometimes is the fact that some throw around stuff like "well he must express himself more normally" or smth in the orbit, indicating that if you don't express yourself with words specifically, you're an asshole/insensitive or smth like that, nevermind the fact that someone there cut their leg to save his future husband's life you know haha. Which to me is hilarious since its these types of characters that in my opinion are more sensitive and deeper head over heels than others. Bc at the end they due to the fact that for them its ususally the only exception thing, if they enter this territory, they usually drown very deeply and unrecoverably. Meaning once they're in they're all in, there's not gonna be any denial/stepping back an etc.
And I just also don't see the point (when it comes to love) of forcing people to express themselves in a way they don't want to. For example, I'll never serenade to someone who I'm in love with, bc I'm just not that kind of person. I wouldn't want to be someone who expects this from me or will get upset that I don't do such stuff. I myself think random little things like that time Rin was talking about Haru's birthday plans and Haru going "I'm not gonna listen untill you'll change your wet clothes, I'm scared you'll get sick" is much sweeter and to me personally enough. I'm not trying to demean here any huge romantic gestures, I just personally do not care for those. But I know all people are different and that's okay.
So I'm just saying that these kind of characters express the feelings in other ways (which to me for some reason are the most touching). So expecting Haru to do stuff from some of the people's wish list that were voiced after fs1 would be just not Haru. Also the problem there was that Rin was scared to dive into love. And what else in your opinion Haru should've done to show him that he's his safe haven I do not get no matter how much I thought about it. Bias or not but after all that patience and understanding, you gotta admit that the only option here already was a shock therapy of maybe taking it all away haha.
So when it comes to love you gotta judge everyone depending on their own scale. Like you certainly can expect us once in love turn from a cocoa bean into hot chocolate just for you, but we won't magically turn into a sugar syrup, if you know what I mean here lmao. And Rin also doesn't want that, bc he loves Haru. If he wanted to pick someone else, he would've LOL
Also I think being biased is also fine (we all are when it comes to our faves) as long as you admit to it and don't start this thing some people start where they seem to only care about one person in a ship. That's already not a shipping in my opinion haha. Like idk why but I seriously hate it the most. Bc even in times when you're certain you're right, you gotta try to see things from both points of views. In all of your own relationships too.
P.S. also forgot to say" haha I win". I'm kidding lmao. Love you too.
#answered#anonymous#rinharu#harurin#free! the final stroke#free!#rin matsuoka#nanase haruka#in this particular case I really don't think there was other option#thats why I was surprised so many started the whole haru should fix this#really not in this case lol#and as much as some yell how some must talk I can yell how some should pay attention to obvious things xD#but thaats fine we're all biased#just be fair

Told you guys Iâd ramble in due time.
I absolutely adore Bravely Default 2. It came at a really bad time cos I canât waste 70 hours on a jrpg, but well, itâs too late to be concerned about that now. And as is tradition with me obsessing over a new game / show / whatever, youâll basically find a fullblown review disguised as ramblings right under the cut. Be aware that Iâm gonna talk about EVERYTHING, so spoilers are a given. Some maybe even for the previous Bravely Default games.
Also, if you wanna talk about this game in any capacity, hit me up, Iâm DESPERATE to talk more about it.
Just for reference on how long this is gonna be, I made a voice recording while driving to remember all the points I wanna make, and that recording is almost 2 hours long. I did cut it down but still, this is gonna be a lot.
Iâll start off with the things that actually bugged me about the game, since there are only 3 things that really bothered me. First of, I really donât like that you can name Seth. He has too much personality to be a self insert and player integration is not that big of a part in the game that this decision can be justified. It wouldnât bother me that much if it didnât leave a bad mark on the ending. First of all, we were robbed of Gloria desperately shouting for Seth, which makes the impact work less, and itâs just so prevalent that the name canât be said because you have all the normal sound design going. If theyâd just let the credits still play I wouldnât have batted an eye, but because every other sound comes in itâs so obvious theyâre just silently shouting in this scene, which makes it look silly. Like I said, this decision is more a detriment than an addition, and itâs a shame it casts a shadow on an otherwise heartfelt ending.
Speaking about lost potential, the other thing that really bothers me is the lost potential in certain plot points and character conclusions. I mainly mean Adam and Edna here. Both of them have been built up to be these formidable foes but they just, die. If it was just Adam Iâd be fine with it, since you expect Edna to backstab him and be the actual big bad of the story, but I cannot fathom why they dropped Edna this HARD. If not Edna herself, I donât understand why we donât get more of a reaction from the Fairies and especially Adelle. I mean, Edna was her sole reason she left for her journey in the first place, then Edna dies and thatâs it? No part where she grieves for a second? No concern from the others about Adelle? Mind you, I havenât finished all the Sidequests, so maybe there actually is one in which this is addressed, but I think even just a Party Chat after Bad End 1 would have been sufficient to show how Adelle suddenly feels about the loss of Edna. It would have made Bad End 2 / The Secret Ending even more impactful, because, yeah, of course, you kinda know Adelle isnât going to turn her back on fairy kind, but one of the reasons she doesnât leave is because if Enda didnât get a happy ending, then she shouldnât either. It would have been amazing foreshadowing if she showed this sentiment before this scene happened. Other than that, itâs a shame that we know so little about Edna, or rather, how she became âbadâ. I get sheâs supposed to be corrupted by the Nightâs Nexus, but how did it even come to this? It canât have been a gradual thing, after all, Adelle says Edna was always good natured and then just disappeared one day. Really would have loved seeing more of that plot point.
Ok, last gripe I have, some choices in the soundtrack and sound design. Donât get me wrong, I absolutely love the OST, and I will get to that, but damn, whatever Revo used for the lead instrument in Wiswald hurts my ears. Itâs a really good track, but I always have to turn down my volume because these high pitched sounds physically hurt. And for sound design. Dude, the Nightâs Nexus is the least threatening, nightmare fueled abomination that ever existed. I get that its growl is kinda supposed to be layered with Ednaâs or sth, but it, it just sounds silly. If they went the route of just swinging between different voices or began distorting it from phase to phase, it would have been fine. But the choice they made really made an otherwise creepy design just absolutely silly.
Ok, enough jammering, on to the good stuff. Like I said, thereâs going to be a lot, so Iâll try to be brief in each aspect.
Gameplay
I honestly like the new battle mechanics more than the old ones. This individual, turn based system feels way more dynamic and itâs easier to strategies in battles. Because nothing made me more angry than setting up for a heal and the enemy suddenly being faster than me and killing my healer. Now itâs easier to plan ahead a bit.
I also found myself experimenting more with the jobs. Not sure what it really is, but none of the party members leaning more towards certain types of jobs and the job leveling being way faster probably helped.
And I know some people get up in arms because the boss sometimes can be a real pain in the ass (looking at you pope dude), I still found it very interesting getting around counters or even using these counters as a benefit. As an example, I made Adelle my main physical fighter and gave her lots of counter abilities to help her profit from being countered by enemies themselves. Now, she can attack enemies, get countered, automatically evade that counter and earn a BP at the same time. Made a lot of boss fights way easier and fun to exploit.
Music
Ok, I will try my best to be really, really brief, because in my recording this part takes up almost 40 minutes. Anyways, Revo might have just become one of my absolute favorite composers ever. I donât know what kind of magic he used, but I initially wasnât that impressed with the OST, but every time I listened to it, I just fell in love harder and harder. Before getting into specifics, I wanna highlight the two things that made me love this OST overall. First of all, this soundtrack almost seems like a refinement of BDâs. While losing some of that fairytale vibe, it sounds even more fantasy now. And in contrast to the original, this almost sounds more balanced? Like, BDâs OST felt high energy throughout, BD2âs on the other hand manages to find a good balance between high and low energy pieces. Like, the character themes or battle themes are absolute hype, but the overworld themes are a lot calmer and easier to listen to while exploring. Second big point that makes this soundtrack amazing is that Revo is an absolute god at using emotional progression/storytelling and leitmotifs in his songs. And heck, do I love myself my leitmotifs. Youâve got some obvious ones, like the final battle theme in which all the character themes and other leitmotifs are integrated. Then you got some maybe more subtle once, just like how the overworld themes are just the main theme, just a lot calmer and using the lead instruments of the towns of the areas.
But my absolute favourites gotta be the character themes and the main theme. I love how fitting the themes for the characters are and in general, each of them is such a bop. At first I prefered Elvisâ, because I sure am a sucker for jazzy vibes, but over time Adelleâs became my fav. Itâs just something about the trumpets, and how the theme almost sounds a bit melancholic and bittersweet, that drew me in. And considering her story, mostly her bad end, that the bittersweet tone really fits.
Then thereâs the main theme. Just like BDâs it shouts âtriumphant anthemâ and it definitely gives you a very familiar vibe, but Iâd argue it has even better emotional progression. Heck, the first time I heard the music start up in the reveal trailer, I didnât have to look at the screen to know this is gonna be a BD game. Also, the credit song version had me weeping at the true end. Iâm someone whoâs very easily affected by music (if me shouting about soundtracks on this blog wasnât proof enough) and just hearing that ending song, getting the after credits scene, just for the second credits to start as a freaking duet. Dude, at that point I just started sobbing, Iâm not gonna lie. Just this little part showed how much Revo knows how to put emotion in a song and also write it in such a way that he can elicit strong, emotional reactions from you too.Â
Story
People have been complaining how the story is too boring and kinda disappointing in comparison to the last one, but I just think the games tried to accomplish different things here. Since the BD series is a celebration of old, classic jrpgs, âclicheâ storytelling is a given. Though, BD did throw a lot of meta stuff in there too. BD2 in contrast just feels like a direct execution of that initial idea. It feels familiar, it feels comfy and it feels safe. Except for the little things with the endings and then overwriting the Nexusâ âsave fileâ, BD2 doesnât really get that meta, which is totally fine. It doesnât try to reinvent or innovate anything, it just wants to be a fantasy story, that might be cliche, but still fun and enjoyable in its own right.
Iâd also argue that the pacing is a lot better than the old game, because with BD I sometimes found myself skipping through scenes to get on with the story. Not that this game didnât have me rushing through stuff as well, but I found it kept my intrigue way better than the original.
Characters
Next to the music, this is the part that I absolutely love the most. While, yes, they did lose a lot of potential with some characters, mostly with the villains, the main cast is just so much fun. I love these 4 dorks so, so much.
I honestly canât stand how much people compare them to the original cast. Yes, ofc, Iâve been doing my fair share of comparisons too, but calling these four a more boring version of BDâs party physically hurts me. Because except for some initial impressions, the Heroes of Light are completely different from our beloved Warriors of Light.
While yes, Seth and Gloria give off strong Tiz and Agnes vibes at first, they both grow into such different characters that theyâre not really comparable. I think this shows with Adelle and Elvis even more. I do understand how people could compare Adelle and Edea, since theyâre both the feisty girl type, but I canât understand how people can see Ringabel and Elvis as the same character type. While those two are the âsuaveâ party members, they act so differently from another. And thatâs honestly apparent the first time you meet them.Â
Anyways, I love these 4 so much.
We technically donât know a lot about Seth at all, but they manage to pull so much out of just the fact that heâs a sailor, that it makes him really endearing, really fast.
I was kinda disinterested with Gloria at first, because again, the initial impression was AgnĂŠs2.0, but she grew on me a lot. Gloria is way more hard headed and honestly sassy in comparison to AgnĂŠs and I absolutely adore it.
Elvis. Elvis, my man. I love this fantasy scottosh wizard so, so much. Heâs such a ridiculous character but so endearing at the same time. You got all this dorkiness, with him setting himself on fire as a student, him doing god knows what for a good drink or just laughing danger and prejudice in the face. But then you got his super empathetic and caring side. Mind you, most of his wise moments come from quoting Lady Emma, but still, as much as heâs hopeless with certain social situations, heâs actually still really good at reading the room and playing things smart. Heâs a smart and powerful idiot, which makes him a danger to everyone and himself, and I love him for it. (I also canât believe they called him Lesley I MEAN COME ON)
And then thereâs Adelle. I liked her from the start, but I didnât think she would stick out to me. I think now sheâs my favourite character. Not even talking about all the stuff that happens in chapter 3 and onward, because these story threads are awesome in their own right, but thereâs just something about her personality thatâs interesting and appealing to me. Like I said, Iâm not surprised people compare her to Edea, I did too at first, but while Edea walks very close to the line of a Tsundere, I was really surprised that Adelle is, well, not a Tsundere at all. Yeah, of course sheâs putting Elvis down a lot, but that stems more from her preventing his ego from going to his head than her being all embarrassed. No, Adelle is actually really well adjusted when it comes to communication. While itâs hilarious that she and Elvis met with her chucking her shoes at him, the two just got along well right from the start. Adelle in general has this really open and helpful personality, but also doesnât shy away from putting her foot down, even if that sometimes comes out as an embarrassed sputter. Sheâs also the mother hen of the group. She looks out for the other three and gets concerned about them real fast.Â
IÂ dunno, Adelle just really grew on me over the course of this game, and then her kinda being paired with Elvis too, as partners and as partners, makes me like her even more. Because as much as I like their personalities individually, I like their character dynamic even more. I honestly love the relationships between all four of them a lot. You really feel them grow closer as friends and all the little character sidequests just always made me really happy.
Conclusion
You might not believe me, but I really held back there. This could probably have been 3 times its length. As much as I love this game, itâs of course not perfect. It struggles and flails in some parts a lot and it certainly has some aspects that might turn people off. But for me, it was just a very familiar and comfy game that didnât necessarily deliver anything new, but that told its story in such a way that it still got me excited to keep going. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing and the conclusion of the story actually got me to cry. While not groundbreaking, this game is highly enjoyable and leaves you absolutely satisfied at the end.
Also, I would like to iterate that I am desperate to get more content about this game, so if you wanna chat about it, hit me up.
Anyways, anyone else felt like having a fever dream when everybody in chapter 2 started talking fantasy scottish? Cos I sure did.

Fri 4 June â21
âLook out my window and Louis Tomlinson outsideâ, said the (second) luckiest man in London (first is Harry ofc), and posted a pic of himself with Louis, who is looking cute in a jersey and cap over that long long hair (looks like the guy took a couple blurry pictures out his window then ran out to accost Louis, lol.) He said, âpleasure to meet you on my road this eveningâ and that Louis was âa real gentlemanâ (and also a âgemtlemanâ SO TRUE whether he typed it that way on purpose or not) and âa proper amazing chap.â Also on this guyâs road? A recording studio, specifically the one Louis was pictured working at last week. Looks like Louis was with Charlie Lightening (and at least one other person, unidentifiable). Grown ass men recognizing Louis and running outside to talk to him?? This is the future louies want!
Liam woke up early and hopped straight on his discord to respond to some very sweet messages-- I hope heâs getting some enjoyment out of reading them all. I think a lot about his sister saying that he always read all the stuff fans are saying and is really affected by it and so it always makes me happy when people flood him with positive stuff. He also polled people about NFTs (yes, no, idk what that is) and said heâs going to be in Brazil at the end of the year. OoOh? Then he posted a video telling us about what he dreamed-- ânow without sounding like a complete fanboy I had the weirdest One Direction related dream,â he said and that he dreamed he was arguing with Zayn over ownership of a leather jacket, and that he had a boxing match âwith Tommoâ and âI couldnât hit him.â âWell at least you know Iâm thinking about you, boys!â he concludes.
And, yes, the big drama and discourse of the day (â˘)... Zayn and Gigi had a full day of getting papped yesterday, with her- according to paps- at a vaccine shot appointment and he showing off his very stylish white tracksuit and yellow hat; and, unfortunately, ending up showing a less press-ready side as well. A short video shows Zayn shirtless and yelling at some guy who is yelling at him and pushing into his space and getting in his face (mostly a lot of âwho the fuck are youâ from Zayn) while PA Taryn tries to hold onto Zayn and keep them apart. The guy calls Z a f***** and Zayn repeats âIâm a f*****?!â, laughing incredulously, and now half of twitter is canceling him for using slurs, so thatâs a fun day for everyone. Then ZaynWeLove you trended worldwide as fans worked to bury the video, but tabloids got wind of it anyway so that was that. According to TMZ âZayn was smoking a cig outside Amsterdam Billiards Club in the East Village after 2 AM when a group of guys came out of Little Sister Lounge next door and an altercation ensued.â Also âsources say he was wearing [a shirt] at the billiards joint, but it's unclear exactly when or why he took it offâ, haha- the attempts from everyone at a definitive shirt removal timeline are for sure the only fun part of this. ANNNNYWAY, how about that Look, he looks like a cyber cow, love that, and also: before all this, Zayn got papped, which generally means Zayn is about to release something or other, so thatâs exciting.
More Holivia pics from the pub they were at last night were posted-- in these pics you can see that in fact Harry is wearing a DIFFERENT pair of stripey blue and pink shorts with the cutest cardigan with colored cuffs, also pink and blue, aww. Our lil walking trans flag/ Fine Line cover! Weâre told he drank tequila and was (of course) very nice to fans and that PA Luis was sat between him and Olivia (lol). A crowd gathered outside the busy pub trying to get in to Harry, and photographed his and Oliviaâs departure; they are shown cuddling a bit on the street, with Luis suddenly nowhere in sight. Very private moments not meant to be captured for the public eye, Iâm sure, despite the many fans right there.
The person responsible for Other People Fund, an organization that helps people pay for therapy, told us about Harry Lambert getting some of her merch (shirts and tote bags that say âI think we should see other people and by other people I mean therapistsâ) for Harry Styles! Harry carried the tote for his walks in the park with Olivia last month, HAAAAA AMAZING. I wonder if he was sad no one managed to read the message then? The story is that the girl who makes them had made a post offering to provide Harry with a shirt after his (shirtless) grammys appearance and ended up sending it to Harry L who was like YES WE MUST HAVE THIS and bought two shirts and the tote. Maybe she should make a post for Zayn too, how appropos her messaging would be for this shirtless media moment huh? Anne Marie said the Our Song MV bts wonât be long now and âare you ready???â âNo Iâm not!â said Niall. A Luca Shreiner Our Song remix is out. Showtime added Louis to their pride month queer playlist and Jason Sudeikisâ show Ted Lasso wrapped its London filming- will this also mean HoliviaUK is a wrap? We can only hope.
#Louis tomlinson#zayn#liam payne#harry styles#holivia#thank you so much for the Z news heads up it can be hard to know a thing is happening when people are actively working#to keep people from finding out that a thing happened...though I suppose once TMZ got on it that was out the window#I starred out f** to be considerate but tbh- it feels weird to me. Like people calling queer a slur when itâs a full on identity and common#word#I know loads of people who self identify as fags and who use that word a lot in casual chat you know?#Iâm currently reading a book that uses the word casually every couple pages right now (written by someone who self identifies as a f*****)#which really adds to the dissonance (for me) of the reaction to it on twitter#anyway which isnât to say dudes throwing the word around as an insult in macho pissing contests is okay#tho for the record I donât think Zaynâs use of it here is him doing that it sounds to me more like âomg you did not really just say that wtf#Iâm more bothered by the macho pissing contest part really#if you want the book rec itâs The Freezer Door by Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore#who as a side note#has been dressing in brightly colored corduroy flares with lacy collars and pearls and hats with flowers on them since like⌠the 90s#which is no shade @ Harry just a reminder that he's drawing on and paying tribute to a long tradition of queer culture#not inventing it#I also just read 100 Boyfriends by Brontez Purnell which ALSO uses that word like every other page and is also very good#Sometimes you just gotta catch up on your queer lit I guess anyway thereâs a lot of queer culture out there besides twitter and tiktok cult#er tiktok culture I meant but uh#you know what.... lol#4 jun 21

Monsters, Marines...An archaeologist?
It is amazing how a life and death situation can bring people together... or tear them apart. Sally finds that piggybacking off Eric King's mission in Iraq bought her more than she bargained for. Death? Life? ...A Marine?
Part One
Jason Kolchek/OFCÂ
I changed her last name. (24/11/2021)
Technically not an xreader but theres so little fic for Jason yet that i thought people would wanna know.Â
I added an image but its a bit big. shhh, idk how to make it smaller.
Posted here but will be continued on ao3 perhaps.Â
''Right there! We'll have to lower the ladder! Havent got the time to wait for his highness to move!'' She yelled to her company as she moved to drop the ladder. ''Remember! Don't stray too far and stick to the story! We're technically not supposed to be here!''
With that, she grabbed her bags and descended the shaky ladder suspended mid-air by the hovering helicopter. Â The wind force from both helo's made it difficult but she managed just fine enough to make it to the floor of the roof. Camp Slayer wasn't what she expected the camp to be, she expected tents and soldiers, not a whole ass palace that once belonged to Saddam.
''You're here! Great timing.'' Eric King greeted her, accepting his fate into the tight hug that was always usually accompanied with a lipstick mark on his cheek. Sure enough, just like every time, Eric lifted his hand to wipe off the lipstick as he turned to the Lieutenant he'd just met. ''Lieutenant, This is Sally Dane, Archaeologist. She'll be joining us on this mission.''
''First lieutenant Jason Kolchek, Pleasure to meet you.'' Said Lieutenant was confused. She shouldn't be here, departing into a warzone dressed in simple cargo trousers and a tank top. additionally, she was British, so why had the Colonel enlisted outside help from a British Archaeologist.
''Sir? An Archaeologist?'' Eric nodded as Clarice and Sally talked quietly to themselves, giving Kolchek the chance to continue trying to read the woman. ''Well, she is an Archaeologist but she's not here to be one. I'm not at liberty to discuss her business with you, Though. You'll have to ask her for those answers.''
A part of Kolchek wanted to argue, wanted to know right then and there, but he had just watched her climb down a ladder that was swinging wildly in the air. No normal Archaeologist would be able to do that without some visible struggling, Archaeologist his fucking ass, there was more to this woman...this beautiful woman.
Shit.
Merwin's gonna say something stupid, several times. Kolchek just knew it. Nevertheless, the briefing room was prepped already and it was time to go, there was no need to keep them waiting on the roof.
Kolchek opened the door for them, out of respect before taking the lead once more to show them the way to the briefing room. It was not long until they came to Merwin, working out on the bench press as you could usually find him doing in his downtime.
''I see you old man, keep busting out those reps.'' Kolchek quipped, hoping beyond god that he didn't say something stupid to the women.
''Come and join me, Maybe I'll teach you a thing or two.''
''Later. We have company.''
''Yeah, well, Maybe Missy here would like to watch me get my sweat on.'' From her hiding spot behind Eric, Sally tried not to laugh, grinning at Clarice when the woman looked over in annoyance; silently asking to be saved. ''Wanna spot me, little lady?''
''I can see you just fine from here, thanks.'' Clarice then turned to Sally with a shit-eating grin. ''Sally, You can spot him, right?''
''With a clean scope? For sure. Can't miss him.''
Kolchek glanced to Sally, 'Ignore Corporal Merwin. He lacks social skills.''
Sally leaned in towards Clarice to quietly add, ''And brain cells, evidently.''
''I guess every unit has its resident Jackass.'' Eric said as they walked on, only ending up coming into contact with another Soldier from the unit. Sally hoped this one was less woman-hungry.
''Sergeant Kay!'' Kolchek seemed excited to see this one, Sally noted, watching the small fist bump exchange. ''This is Lieutenant Colonel King. Just taking him down to the briefing room.''
''Yeah, gotta go get prepped.''
''I'll see you in there, Marine.'' Eric was trying far to hard to assimilate into the unit as a new Commanding officer. The Sergeant seemed off though, barely even managing and reply nod before walking off in a hurry.
''So what's his malfunction?''
''Nick ain't been himself lately. We got caught up in a shooting a few weeks back. Civilian ate a bullet. Nick took it hard.''
''Is he combat ready?''
''He's a big boy, sir. He's ready.''
Sally continued to look in the direction that the Sergeant had gone in, it wasn't like other marines she'd known of to linger too long on civilian casualties in a war. Then again, those of whom she'd known like that, didn't much have the heart to begin with.
''Where...Sally!'' She heard her name called, turning to find she'd been standing there for too long in her own thoughts like usual. ''Come back to the planet, I'm gonna need you.'' Sally gave a mock salute as she caught up to Eric, Clarice and Kolchek. Standing awkwardly to the side was the Lance corporal, Joey as known to the unit, Looking like a kicked puppy. Â
''I'm telling you, when the queen bitch finds out about this. She's gonna flip her shit. ''Kolchek held up the paper that told everyone there was a new man in charge, glancing over to Sally in confusion as she swiped her hand back and forth over her neck.
Universal signal for shut the fuck up.
''That's my wife you're talking about.''
''I'm sorry, I had no idea.'' Kolchek was surprised, this was the first time he'd even heard of Rachel having a husband. she'd never so much as given any indication she was in a relationship. Sally
''He's real touchy about his wife. Queen bitch though, I like it. That makes him King bitch.'' luckily enough, this was the last room before the briefing room. So soon enough everyone can get to business. Sally wasnt here to listen to pointless conversations.
"Sir, I am so sorry. Rachel never said she was married." Kolchek apologised, trying not to aggravate Eric more. Rachel may not care about her little nickname but Eric sure did.
"We've been working apart this last year." Kolchek nodded with acceptation of the information, not quite knowing what else to say. "So she's the queen bitch now? She's gone up in the world.
"If it helps, we like to think of it as a term of endearment."
Sally walked past Eric, slapping him on the shoulder. "Come on, king bitch, let's set up."
Eric dropped his head, shaking but also chuckling at the same time. He looked up at Kolchek, giving an accusing finger. "I'm blaming you for that one. She's never letting that go." Kolchek didn't doubt it. The relationship between Eric and Sally seemed strong and if he hadn't witnessed his disgust at the lipstick covered kiss, he may have jumped to conclusions when seeing the stain on his hand.
"Right let's get you set up."
"I hope the bandwidth can cope with the data."
"I'll leave the techy stuff to you."
"And I'll leave the heavy lifting to Sally." Kolchek grinned over at Sally, who was standing with her own small laptop. She gave Clarice a wink without stopping the dance across the keyboard. "What is this place anyway? Looks like a ballroom. Sal, give us a show." Sally didn't reply, only giving a wave in recognition, Kolchek thought it rude but Clarice seemed like she knew the meaning of the action.
Sally briefly noted Rachel walking in, choosing to further herself from the room and focus on her screen until Eric was ready. Only when she saw Clarice waving at her did Sally rejoin them, noticing that the rest of the team for the mission had arrived. The TV screen was set up in place to cast Eric's presentation on it, Sally stood nearby but off to the side to view the plan.
"Fuck is that? Modern art or something?"
"This footage is from the highly classified Caelus program."
Merwin wouldnât have understood, Sally could tell he was more a shoot first and questions never kind of guy. "That supposed to mean something to me?"
"It's a thermal satellite system that I personally pioneered."
"Ohh" Merwin was mocking, nontolerant and ignorant of the work the program required. " Well I'm impressed, please pioneer away."
"You behave like this in all your briefings, Corporal?"
"Boys are just eager to catch a break, sir. No harm meant." Jason Kolchek defended his team mate. Though Sally's obvious sigh of annoyance meant that he not cleared Merwin's bad impression with her.
Sally's worked over the screen as Eric explained that there should be a hidden silo with Saddams chemical weapons inside and yet... Sally couldn't help the foreboding that bubbled in her stomach.
The first lieutenant was cautious in his plans and advised Eric to grab further air support. Merwin disagreed and Sally saw both points, yet ultimately.
"As much as it pains me, Eric, I agree with Merwin. Air support would only garner more attention than we need. Any other situation and I'd firmly suggest taking Kolchekâs side, but not this time."
"Very well, we'll keep this small. If it goes south, I'll pull the plug and we'll bug out."
"With all due respect, sir. I think that's the wrong call." Kolchek was restraining himself, firmly believing that air support was needed. Not yet knowing how exactly Sally's advice was more credible than his own, as a first lieutenant.
"With all due respect, lieutenant Kolchek, its not your desicion to make." Sally looked down at her phone, clicking her tongue and turning to leave the room as Eric started to finish the briefing.
Honestly, between her team and this one, Sally was running tired already. Most of her social interactions were short and to the point if they weren't good friends or a business deal. Even her students tired her out, still, she pushed on and made use of the time.
Hunched over the laptop with the download ready, Clarice asked through the comm where she had gone only to find Sally furiously tapping away at buttons on her phone. Looking up only briefly to stare at the first lieutenant's rear end as he made way to board the helo.
"Nice view, Sal?"
Sally grinned at Clarice, snapping her phone shut and slipping her arm through the other strap of her backpack. "Wonderfully firm view, Clar." The girls shared a laugh, boarding the helo together, sitting across from one another.
Once more, Sally was reminded why her tolerance for the military was low. As Joey and Merwin cracked 'Yo mamma' jokes and other kind of filth on the journey further into Iraqi territory. Turning hypocritical when Kolchek stood slightly to talk to Sergeant Kay. Slightly leaning over and making eye contact with Clarice to give the woman a suggestive eyebrow wiggle towards the backside of the first lieutenant.
Watching Kolchek order his team to be cautious and hold fire when they landed and disembarked was points in Sally's good books. No need to be aggressive on such a small huddle of houses.
The Iraqi's were subdued without casualties and Sally was free to explore as Eric and Rachel left her alone. Merwin and Kay were stationed outside a house when she finally rounded into the more occupied spaces. Rachel was storming into another house with Jason following leisurely around behind her.
"What in God's name are you doing, lady?" Merwin was rightfully confused. Sally was crouched to the floor, shifting her hand throw the loose dust and rocks.
"I'd be wary with the floor. It seems... unstable in a way."
"This of any interest to you?" Kolchek called to Sally, having disappeared for a moment. "Was gonna ask Rachel what it meant but it seems more up your street." Sally stood from her crouched position and turned to Kolchek. Wiping her hands free of the dust from the ground as her eyes lit up at the sight of what he had.
"Oh! Kolchek, it's not even my birthday!" She gently swiped the stone tablet from his hand, marvelling at the masterful carving. Kolchek smiled in a way that said 'you're welcome but I'm so confused' as he followed Rachel's path into the other hut.
Sally deposited the tablet into a nearby truck, making sure it would be safe from enemy combatants that were sure to arrive. Preparing her own weapons, Sally fixed them to the harness around her waist before grabbing the standard automatic that the marines were using.
Not long did she praise herself for the decision as the enemy decided to show up. From somewhere over yonder she heard Joey had been hit, rounding a hut to see Kolchek vaulting over a short wall.
Aiming, her bullet ran true to a Iraqi that tried to pop out early to kill Kolchek. Kay had got to Joey but Sally didn't see the man writhing in pain like he should've been. Eric's voice lifted the radio silence in her comm as he asked for a sitrep moments before the ground beneath her feet rumbled.
"I swear, if one of you said 'can this get any worse' ill shoot you in the face. Eric, that seems like a you thing."
The ground continued to give periodic tremors until finally it gave in. The dirt cracked and fell inwards as easily as thin ice. Sally could could hear yells, call for her, calls for Rachel. Until the floor beneath opened up and swallowed her as well.
****
Sally, 1902 hours.
Sally groaned as she got up, holding onto her side that was now bleeding. Top ripped on the left at her waist and her legs aching like hell was all she needed right now. Using a quick medical kit she'd packed away, Sally bandaged her side and pulled the top over it, covering as much as she could to make sure none would know of her wound.
There was no need to be fussed over.
Looking around, she assumed the cavern she fell into was not going to be stable enough to climb out of. There didn't seem to be any firm looking walls and she didn't have her shoe grips or axes to climb the angles.
With no choice but to go forward, Sally started walking. Pistols at her hips, gun in hand and her backpack secure, Sally fell into a mode she hadn't gone into for a while. The caverns were silent but eerie, as though something was watching her from the shadows.
The recent cave ins disturbed the structural integrity of the area she'd fallen into and yet she was wary. Were the falling stones and disturbed dust from her...or something else?
She heard yells further into the caves maze of halls and dead ends. Along with a sound unlike what she had heard before. Clicking, somewhat like a dolphin and yet it was also hissing like a snake or cat. Together, the two sounds unnerved Sally as she hurried her steps , the sounds of inhuman noises getting louder, more angered and ravenous.
Gunshots.
There was an enemy but Sally didn't know what kind of enemy would make a sound that came right out of a horror movie. Coming to a room that had half collapsed on itself, Sally rounded the debris only to come face to face with a marine.
"Sally!" Kolchek barely had time to say as she gripped his tac vest and pulled him down behind the debris. Holding him against the large rock and shushing as Sergeant Nick kay appeared beside her and they all fell silent. Hiding.
Sally tensed and held her breath, ignoring her pain as she continued to grip his vest. Kolchek was amazed, more so convinced that she wasn't an Archaeologist by the look on her face. Stern, in control...waiting, she didn't seem scared in the slightest even when the creature came into view. Its black body was terrifying, elongated spikes on its back looked both sharp and dull simultaneously.
It's head was a distorted shape, it seemed to have gills that opened and moved in time with the clicking. Echolocation? Sally didn't know...but she wanted to. Kolchek himself didn't want to look at it, a small glance was enough for him to turn back and focus simply on Sally. She was staring blatantly at the thing, green eyes darting over its different features as he did the same to her.
She had her hair in a pony tail, bits that didn't reach the band were falling free. She was covered in dirt and she had a small cut on her forehead. All things considered he had been right back at camp, she was beautiful, even if she was far too interested in the strange creature trying to kill them.
Then as soon as it had come, the creature was gone...for the moment at least.
"Move." Kolchek said, getting up when Sally moved away. The three ran until they reached another fork, stopping just a second to decide the path when Kolchek was engaged.
The giant black blur swiped at him and tried to bite him. Sally and Nick raised their guns as Kolchek stabbed it, the triple assault overwhelmed it enough for it to flee, but hardly any damage was done to it.
"Fuck I hate this place." Sally pulled Kolchek up from the ground, keeping her eyes on where the creature had vanished into the darkness. Sally counted herself lucky that running was nearly a daily occurrence for her, otherwise she'd have run out of breath by now.
The cavern walls blended together, looking the same with each turn and yet, Sally thought they were going deeper into the creatures territory. She skidded to a stop as Nick and Kolchek turned to cover where they had just been.
"The hell's going on?!"
Sally rolled her eyes at Nick, choosing to say silent for the stupid question. "I don't know man. It was not supposed to play out like this."
"Any call signs, this is King! Contact! Contact! Taking fire! Does anyone copy, over."
"That's Rachel!" Sally's eyes narrowed at the emotion in Nicks voice after hearing the voice over the comm.
"King, this is mailman two-one actual. Say again, Over." Â Kolchek repeated the words when he got no answer. Angrily ordering for the two to move as they had occupied the one spot too long, they didn't need monsters falling upon them because they kept stopping.
After a while of running, the sounds of inhuman clicking grew quiet. Sally slowed to a jog and lowered her gun, raising a hand to her lips when Nick opened his mouth to ask why she was slowing down.
The quiet noises drew to a close, silence fell over the space and the three of simply existed for a calm moment. Nick let out a breath, shoulders clearing of tension and his eyes filling with guilt.
"I killed him, man. I fucking killed, Merwin!" Sally's eyebrows raised at the information. She had heard yelling, perhaps that was Merwin before he'd gone.
"It was an accident!"
Nick didn't listen to Kolchekâs defence, continuing with his pity party of one. "Just like the woman at the checkpoint."
"Don't make this shit weirder than it is. Clear your fucking mind!"
Sally clapped the boys on their shoulders, giving a firm nod to Nick in agreement. "Kolchek's right. Shitty that Merwin's gone but there's point in dwelling on it or you'll end up just as dead. We should regroup with Eric and Rachel."
ââRight,ââ Nick nodded, trying to calm himself but to little avail, ââYouâre right.ââ
ââIâm hardly ever wrong.ââ Easing the tension more was easier with that. Nick managed a quiet laugh but none of them dared to speak to loudly after they just lost the monsters.Â
Hopefully, Eric and Rachel werenât too far ahead.Â

spare any thoughts about josie and cycii đđâĽď¸????????????
AAHDIBFI OFC ANYTHING FOR MY BESTIE... SO. OK. Their beginnings are kinda lack-lustre? Thereâs no sudden clicking together or sudden rivalry. Cycii respects Josephine but doesnât feel one way or the other about her. He respects her careful wording regarding how people talk about him, an elf, and that she doesn't want to repeat things shes heard. She respects him as a good person doing good things, but doesnât try to seek him out actively. They leave each other be for the most part while in haven, only talking when Cycii comes to make a delivery for Minaeve. Theyâre just workers for the inquisition at the start, and theyâre fine as acquaintances. I think it shifts when Josephine starts backing his choice to go to the mages and confront Alexis. She pushes for him to do what he wants, and tries to argue back even though shes out of her element talking about how to engage an enemy. Cycii can tell, but he feels very thankful sheâs in his corner. She wants this as much as he wants it too. This is where their friendship begins. Josephineâs mindset changes from âAh, Cycii, heâs here to fix things. Iâm here to keep the Chantry from burying us underneath lies.â to âWeâre both here to change things, for good.â Jumping ahead a bit to the more relevant lore regarding the Silly Josie Trials. When she first comes to him about her family and their falling fortune, Cycii has a bit of a hard time understanding why Josephine is so... panicked. He hasnât owned money or had debt at all. He only recently had gold via being the inquisitor. Growing up in a dalish clan THEN being put into a circle, it is not like he ever had the option to build a medieval credit score. So he does question her about why she is trying to get her family back to its former glory. Thereâs nothing wrong with being like him, so he wants her to understand thereâs no shame in not being upper class. But then, she talks about her family, and how she wantâs them to stop worrying too. And the unfair circumstances surrounding how this started, Cyciiâs opinion shifts. Sheâs not scared of her own fate regarding this. Sheâd be fine living on little to no gold. She isnât trying to figure this out to save face. Sheâs doing this for everyone else in her family. And Cycii wants to help her. He always, always gets heavily involved when someone has an issue with family. He wants them to gain closure and comfort so deeply, he drops everything once someone opens up about it. He never really gained closure about his own clan, his family, and he knows how that eats at people. He very quickly learns his dislike (read, powerful hate) for nobles and the higher class is well founded once he meets with the assassin following an order from a long dead family. Josephine needs to be allowed to trade for her family to start to gain again, and a dead manâs complaint is still accepted and is still keeping her family from recovering? It makes his head hurt, all of it gets on his nerves. But Josephine needs this, she needs to jump through loopholes and play The Game as good as she does. And Cycii wants to be that person. He wants to help her figure this out so she can sleep easy for one night. Even if letting Leliana dispatch her agents to steal the contract and kill whoever stops them would be so, soo much more easy, he doesnât. Josephine said no, and even if he would love to stick it to nobility, heâll respect her wishes. This is her family, she gets the final say EEP EEP... LITTOL LORE DROP COMPLETEÂ

long rant about thinspo and how i feel about it. so obviously tw for talk about that and also tumblr dont term me for using that word im not proana fuck off please, im allowed to rant (also im really fucking tired so idk if this will even make sense)
to start off im gonna say i have been part of pro ana tumblr and mpa for quite a while in the past, i only started to get to the pro recovery side of tumblr at the end of last year so that might cloud my perspective on this topic a bit.
my relationship with thinspo is complicated. i do realize thinspo is horrible and posting it only fuels other peoples eds, but i still look at it and have a private pinterest board for it because i still want to fuel my ed and get motivated to get worse sometimes. i know its bad but i still do it. but i dont post thinspo anywhere publically, all my shit is in private boards or folders and will never see the light of day since i just dont wanna trigger other people. but to say im completely against it would be a bit hypocritical since i do look at it and use it to fuel my ed. i just dont want other people to do so.
its weird to say im okay with some thinspo since im not really but im more okay with thinspo of people who actually have an ed and have posted pics of themselves to be used as thinspo. what im not okay with is using non ed'd people as thinspo. ive seen pics of eg jessie page and billzo used as thinspo and i hate it. (as well as models, actors and kpop idols but i dont know much about that and dont feel as conected to them so i wont talk about that now but it also makes me feel wierd)
jessie have posted pics of themself in the past when they were really bad and i get why people get triggered by them, but now shes fully recovered and talks a lot about their ed and to me it feels wierd that people use her old pics as thinspo since shes so openly recovered and pro recovery. billzo on the other hand hasnt got an ed and never has, hes just naturally skinny and has even said hes uncomfortable with that hes skinny so to me it also feels wierd to use him as thinspo. ive seen people say that you cant be upset when someone uses a well known person as thispo cause all other thinspo is of real people as well but i feel like theres a big difference between just normal pictures of a skinny person vs actual body checks posted as thinspo by an anorexic person. i personally think body checks are much more triggering anyways and i just feel morally wierd about purposefully using pictures of non disordered people to trigger yourself. ofc with people like jessie not everyone knows who she is and i get that other people who have posted thinspo might also be recovered, but when people tell the person who posted the picture that the person in the pic is recovered or just not comfortable with being thinspo why wouldn't you take the post down. same with non disordered people, if they look ed'd to you fine, but as soon as someone tells you that theyre not and possibly have stated theyre not comfortable with being used as thinspo why would you keep defending the post? just take it down. and i get thats never gonna happen, people are always gonna use whatever pics they find as whatever they want, this was just my thoughts. if you want to argue with me about this feel free but i dont think im gonna change my mind. and i also get being so deep into your ed that you dont care. i get why pro ana is a thing. ive been there and i hate it. if youre pro and reading this (witch i doubt anyone who got this far or even saw this post is but still) if youre pro rn please try and see that first of all eds are terrible no matter how much that voice tells you theyre gonna make you happy and second of all making other people worse wont make anything better and third of all pro recovery side of tumblr is so much better.
and if your reasoning is "well they posted it online, its free to use as whatever you want" fuck off. i dont care. suck my dick
tltr: im kinda okay with using disordered peoples pics as thinspo if theyve stated theyre okay with that or have posted body checks to be used as thinspo. im not okay with using non disordered people as thinspo. there are a lot of actually ed'd people who like being used as thinspo so if you have to use someone else to fuel your ed use them.
but also if thinspo wasnt a thing i probably would be better off so never mind, fuck all thinspo

--------------------------------
Jschlatt x Reader (Fluff)
--------------------------------
Warnings: Cursing, mention of alcohool, light level of violence at the beggining.
That's what I got, but if you see anything that you want me to put in the warnings please let me know
âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸âŞď¸
You had gotten into a pretty bad fight with Willbur after Schlatt had announced the festival, you were walking around the city, to make sure everything was fine when you had spotted him at the top of a tree, his eyes once so caring filled with rage.
You knew that wasn't the Willbur you met long ago, and since you were on Schlatt's side now, you went to confront him, it didn't end up well for you.
No one was expecting to fight on the day of the announcement, for that reason you weren't with your netherite armor, only wearing the black suit you liked so much to seem more serious.
It was a pretty suit, yes, but it didn't work well against arrows and a diamond sword, granted, you couldn't even imagine how Willbur got his hands on a diamond sword when he was wearing the dirtiest outfit you've seen in ages.
Nonetheless, the fight dragged through the forest, as both of you were screaming at each other, Willbur trying to make you see how he was the victim of the system, trying to get back to the country he loved so much, while you were trying to explain why the rules were made to keep him away.
When he stopped trying to convince you that he wasn't doing anything bad, and started to attack you with more rage than before, you knew you were right since the beginning, Willbur had gone mad in his exile.
He shouted curses at you, throwing punches in your direction until he could trip you and hold you down on the ground, he got his sword with hands trembling, a dangerous smile on his face as he put the sword at the top of your chest, you tried to move, tears forming in your eyes as you screamed trying to get him to lose his balance so you could escape.
It was to no avail, you could feel the sword slowly making contact with your skin, the pain running through your skin slowly, almost taunting you to do something to stop it.
You bit hard on the inside of your cheeks, tasting your own blood trying to not focus on the pain, it would only get worst and worst, you closed your eyes waiting for the blackness to swallow you whole right after Wilbur pierced through your chest, but the void never came to take you out.
What came instead was another sudden wave of pain, this time concentrating on your leg, as you opened your eyes, you could see the blood running through your chest, but what got your attention, was the sword impelled at your leg, there was blood everywhere, your clothes ripped in many places where Willbur had attacked you.
And thinking about the devil, he was gone, no words or apologies, no shadow lurking behind the trees to see if you would survive, simply gone.
As the adrenaline in your body started to go down, and the pain got bigger, your eyes started to close, they felt too heavy, but you knew deep down you couldn't pass out from the pain in the middle of the forest, so you did the only thing you could think of.
You called Schlatt for help, since your arms weren't too damaged to move, you grasp on the small string of consciousness to open the message board everyone could use as a sort of direct link to each other.
Typing out your coordinates you pressed sent, letting your hands fall limp close to your body, and finally letting yourself crave the dark embrace that awaited for you, telling yourself that it would be fine once schlatt found you, your vision turned dark, and you blacked out.
-------------------------------------------------------
When you woke up again, you were in a large room, in a massive bed, with lots of blankets organized messily around you, there was an enormous window from where you could see Manberg in all of its glory, as you were trying to get a better view by moving, the door of the room opened, revealing schlatt, with a tired expression carrying a small plate with what seemed to be mushroom soup.
"What the fuck you think you're doing woman?" He asked with his loud voice practically running to your side.
"Trying to get up?" You asked still trying to move your body to at least sit on the bed more comfortably.
"Yeah that's the fucking problem dumb bitch, you can't move or else the stitches can get worst." Schlatt argued putting the plate on the bed table at your side.
He pulled the blankets off of you so you could see the white bandages covering your leg, quickly you pulled your shirt a little so you could peek at your chest, there was also white bandages firmly wrapped in your torso, you looked at schlatt, feeling your face get hot as you pieced together the pieces of what probably had happened after you blacked out alone in the forest.
Before you could say anything about the whole situation though, Schlatt let out a sigh, rolling his eyes dramatically.
"Don't ever think about that, I asked Nikki to help with the bandages, and she is the one that dresses you up on some spare clothes she had with her."
You could feel yourself relax at that, nodding your head slightly Schlatt approached you, moving his hands so he could support your torso and pull you up, making you sit on the bed, after making sure you were comfortable enough the hybrid handed you the small plate with the soup.
"Nikki thinks you're going to be able to walk in two weeks, but if you have any problem with the wound, it can take three weeks or more, you can stay here while you're healing." Schlatt says before leaving the room.
You blink a few after he leaves, your face still a little hot as you think about how careful he held you to help you move your body, deciding to not give yourself a headache thinking about it, you start to eat the soup, only to be interrupted again by Schallat entering the room.
He was carrying a shit ton of magazines and random books, the hybrid crossed the room to come to the other side of the bed and let all of the magazines down at your side, he sat right beside you and moved the magazines around so you could see all of the titles.
" I also thought... you could get bored, so I got some shit for you to read if you want to." Schlatt said with a proud smile.
You could only smile in return and offer a quiet "thanks" as you went back to eat the soup, after you finished Schlatt quickly took the place and went out to the kitchen as you moved around a little, picking a random magazine you moved the others away so there could be more space for the president in the bed.
You knew he wouldn't leave your side, not until you were completely okay again, he was just looking out for you in his way, standing close and making sure you wouldn't have any problem in your recovery.
Just as you expected, he came back soon after leaving the plate at the sink, he sat once again beside you, putting his head at your shoulder you hummed quietly, moving your hand so you could caress the side of his face.
You had learned long ago that the ram hybrid was pretty touch starved, although he kept the charade of a tough guy that doesn't need anything else other than his whiskey, you've been on his side for what seemed like forever now.
Schlatt took your hand, placing a soft kiss on your wrist before moving his head, headbutting you lightly to gain your attention, you moved your gaze from the current magazine on your lap to his face.
"Don't ever do this again to me alright?" He said in a more serious tone, his fingers tracing the lines of your hand.
"Okay, I'll make sure to not get hurt again to take up your bed." You snorted with a small smile forming on your face.
"You know what I'm talking about, don't give me another heart attack like this one, I thought I lost you when you sent the coordinates and didn't answer when I asked what was happening." He held your hands more firmly, afraid that you would suddenly vanish right in front of his eyes.
Placing a small kiss on his temples you smiled with confidence, headbutting him lightly like how he had done moments ago.
"Don't worry, I promise to do my best to not get stabbed again."
That got Schlatt to laugh as he gave you some more space, squeezing your hand he moved on the bed, sticking his legs out and pushing a blanket over himself.
"You better do your fucking best alright, now, let's talk shit about those magazine people, and how they look so uncomfortable in the covers."

Hi :DD can i request a giyuu x childhood friend reader? Where they met during the final selection and reunite when she became the lightning pillar? The lightning pillar headcannons made me melt đđđ i loved it alot and i thought the idea would be cute, don't need to do it tho if you want to ofc :D thankiess đ
Hello!! Thank you for the request and thank you so much for liking those headcannons!! 𼺠Of course Iâll write it ^^
Hereâs the Fem!Lightning Pillar headcannons
Giyuu Tomioka x Fem!Lightning Pillar
Synopsis: You and Giyuu had met when you were doing the final selection and became friends with him. However, life made you drift apart and you both became pillars just to meet one another again.
âźă Ň ăâźă Ň ăâźăâĄăâźă Ň ăâźă Ň ăâź
âźă Ň ăâźă Ň ăâźă Ň ăâźă Ň ăâźă Ň ăâź
You panted heavily as you ran through thick fog and towering trees. Your hand griping firmly around the hilt of your nichirin blade. Your eyes were darting from every direction, waiting for another demon to pop out of nowhere and take a slash at you. There was rustling ahead of you and prepared your blade. You brought both your hand to your blade handle and lifted your arms to swing when-
âShit, itâs a slayer!â
A small boy with long black hair and a red haori looked at you frightened as you had your blade lifted, ready to slice him down. You couldnât stop yourself, you had already charged and you couldnât stop now. In a flash, another boy appears out of seemingly nowhere and connects your two swords, pushing you away with his strength.
You went skidding to the side and almost tumbled over. You were too much in a panic of almost slicing another slayer to process the boyâs strength. After you got your grounding, you quickly jog to the two boys, âIâm so sorry! The fog was so thick and I thought it was a demon! Please excuse my incompetence!â You bowed low to the two boys just to hear one of them scoff.
âMaybe you shouldnât be a slayer if you cannot tell the difference between human and demon.â The boy with pinkish hair spat.
You cocked a brow at the boy and thought to yourself âwhatâs with this kid??â You opened your mouth to argue before the boy with black hair interrupted, âIt-itâs fine, Sabito. Iâm sure she didnât mean it.â
âTch, fine. Just as long as she learns her lesson.â
You raised your brow at the pink haired boy with squared patterned haori again. You then noticed that the both of them had fox masks on.
âOh? What are those. They look very nice. Whoever made them must be really good at woodcarving.â
âItâs a warding mask,â replied the pink haired boy, âto help keep evil spirits and demons away. The craftsmanship is very good. Urokodaki Sensei is very talented and taught us all we know.â
âAnd you two are?â
âIâm Sabito and this here is Giyuu...â
âAh, hello Sabito, Giyuu. Iâm Y/N,â you bow once again and they do the same, greeting you. âLetâs just forget that incident. Iâm sorry, Giyuu.â You smile at him and he timidly tells you it was alright and that theyâll look past it now.
You tagged along with the two for a couple a days. You were very surprised by how strong Sabito was. He was saving everyone and no demon was too strong for him. It was amazing watching him. Giyuu was strong as well but Sabito kept outshining him.
One day, a demon attacked the three of you and you ended up getting separated from the two and finished the rest of Final Slection on your own. Once you reached the wisteria section of the mountain to claim your ore and uniform, you were too out of it from injuries and exhaustion that you didnât see Sabito or Giyuu again. You figured theyâd both be alright though.
âââââ ⥠âââââââââââââââ
âââââââââââââââ ⥠âââââ
Years had passed and you had become stronger. You accomplished Total Concentration Breathing Constant and slayed a number of demons. You quickly climbed the ranks as you went on more mission and killed more demons. Eventually you were finally able to slay one of the Twelve Kizuki and was given the message to join the Hashiras.
You were pretty banged up from the demon and met Shinobu before any of the other Pillars. She tended your wounds and gave you medicated water to ease your pain before guiding you to Master Ubuyashikiâs garden where everyone else had been waiting.
You felt very nervous to see such a range of people. Two of them were very, very tall and stood in the way of seeing some of the other pillars.
They were all greeting you and asking you a ton of questions. Many of them were very proud to see another slayer defeat a Twelve Kizuki and join them in the ranks. Eventually, Master Ubuyashiki made his appearance and everyone got in line to kneel to him. You did the same until he called you up front to introduce you to everyone. You were finally able to see all of the pillars now that everyone was in line. You scan through until you see a familiar face, farthest away and the end of the line.
You eyes widen after seeing a familiar red haori with raven, black hair sat on top and ocean blue eyes staring right back at you. âI canât believe it,â you thought to yourself, âItâs Giyuu! I thought Iâd never see him again!â You were ecstatic to talk to him again but had to wait until Ubuyashiki had dismissed everyone first.
The meeting finally came to an end and you made a beeline to Giyuu, ignoring all the other pillars who wanted to ask further questions.
âGiyuu?! Is that you? Itâs me! Y/N! We were in final selection together! Gods, I canât believe it! I thought Iâd never see you again!â Heâd grown a lot since you last saw him. His hair was longer, his jaw was more defined and you now had to look up to meet his eyes. Dare you say he looked more handsome.
âY-Y/N, Its been so long.â Giyuu stuttered out, completely flustered. He could feel his cheeks burning the more he spoke with you. You hadnât grown much in height but your body filled out more and your hair had gotten a bit longer as well. He was nervous to say that you were making his heart flutter again.
âDonât be so shy, give me a hug!! I canât belive youâre a Hashira, how did that even happen?â You continued on as you outstretched your arms to pull Giyuu in. He was very stiff and awkward but couldnât resist embracing you after thinking youâve been dead for years. He was completely wrong. You were strong, so strong in fact that you managed to take out one of the Twelve Kizuki and became a Pillar. For some strange reason, he felt so proud of you despite not seeing you for so long.
All the other Pillars just stared in disbelief and confusion. Who where you? How did you know Tomioka? How did you get him to talk? How the heck did you get him to hug you?! And how were you making him so flustered?!?! Heâs stoic!!
After pulling away from the hug, you opened your mouth to ask about Sabito when you noticed the other half of his haori. Your eyes softened and touched the yellow and green patterns, you heart sinking a little. You bring your eyes back to Giyuuâs, âDid... did Sabito... not... not make it...?â You ask him sadly, tears threatening to swell your eyes. Giyuuâs eye become very sad as he looks to the side and just simply shakes his head.
âIâm so sorry, Giyuu... he was a very good man. Iâm sure heâll be reincarnated, his heart was very kind and pure.â
The other Pillars finally interrupted and started bombarding you with more questions and you spent some time talking with all of them and keeping Giyuu close to you since he kept trying to leave. You still wanted to talk with him afterwards.
ââââââ ⥠ââââââââââââââ
âââââââââââââââ ⥠âââââ
âUgh, what a relief!â You let out as you stretch your arms upwards, âI thought theyâd never stop asking questions.â
You and Giyuu were walking side by side and leaving Ubuyashikiâs garden.
You excitedly turn to Giyuu, you eyes sparkling as you made contact with his deep, ocean blue ones, âWe have so much to catch up on! Tell me, Giyuu, what Pillar are you?â
The both of you spoke all night and caught eachother up on a lot of things. You talked a bit more than Giyuu did of course, but he still replied and shared enough of his thoughts to not make it seem like you were talking to a brick wall.
âââââââââââââââ ⥠âââââ
ââââ ⥠âââââââââââââââ
Giyuu was so relieved to see that you were okay. He knows he didnât know you a lot but there was just something so magnetizing about you when you first met. He couldnât help but feel so interested in you. Youâd occasionally come across his mind the years you werenât there and he would just wonder what you were up to. Pessimism would often creep in and make him think that you might already be dead. He tried his best to shake those thoughts but there was a high chance of that being the reality. Being a slayer never guaranteed a safe future.
It turns out all those pessimistic thoughts were wrong and now here you were, reunited with him. He couldnât understand why he was so overjoyed to see you again. His heart pounded a bit more around you now than it did years ago. It confused him how you made his thoughts hazy and his temperature rise. But most importantly, he was just so relieved that you were still alive. And to top it all off, you became a Hashira. I mean, a Hashira! The new Lighting Pillar! It made him feel so proud of you. He couldnât believe you were that strong. Not that he ever doubted you, he just feared that since he enjoyed your presence that youâd be doomed to die too soon.
But now youâre here, stronger than he could have ever imagined, and he was not going to let you leave his side ever again.

I loved your response to my request, it was so cute and made me feel super valid and soft! Could I request an A-Z for Toga, please?
Heck yeah! Im glad you liked it!!!
Needless to say, she's aged up
Warnings: blood and knives (ofc)
A: Aftercare (What theyâre like after sex)
Shes not the best at it tbh. She just thinks you look so cute all sweaty and messy and exhausted, why would she wanna change that? Of course, if you really want her to, she'll help clean you up
B: Body Part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner)
She likes your chest, especially when theres blood dripping on it. Whether you have boobs or not, she just loves your chest
On her, she likes her whole body! She cant not like her whole body when shes naked everytime she changes back into her own form after impersonating someone
C: Cum (Anything to do with cum)
She loves being covered in your cum. On her face, back, chest, stomach, wherever. It's her secind favorite thing after blood
D: Dirty Secret
She kinda wants to roleplay hero/villain with you being the hero and shes the villain bringing you to her side. She doesnt indulge in this tho, since it goes against stain's beliefs
E: Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what theyâre doing?)
Shes not really that experienced. She might have slept with one or two people before you, but it was never anything too serious
F: Favorite Position
With you sitting on her face, or her on her knees in front of you. She's all about making you feel good
G: Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc.)
Toga's goofy as hell lmao. If you both arent giggling, whats the point? She cracks corny jokes and tickles you until any tension is right out the window
H: Hair (How well-groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
Shes bald tbh. Its just her personal preference for herself. She 100% doesnt mind body hair, she just doesnt like how it feels on herself
I: Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspectâŚ)
Even when shes being a clown, shes intimate af. Youre her baby and she loves you so damn much, and she does a great job of showing it. One of her favorite things to do it the movie trope rose petals on the bed with candles around the room
J: Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
She does it pretty often, actually - mostly when shes in another person's body. She wants to see how it feels to cum as another person. She even once took your form and used it to learn how to pleasure you better
K: Kink (One or more of their kinks)
Gotta state the obvious: knifeplay and bloodplay. Consensually, of course. Youll have to be a bit of a masochist to indulge her. She likes to see your blood drip down your curves from the little cuts she leaves on your skin. They're never deep and very rarely scar
Also, period sex (if you get periods). Blood clearly doesnt phase her, so not only does she not mind it, she loves it
L: Location (Favorite places to do the do)
Anywhere. She does not care. Youre a cutie pie and she doesnt mind being seen naked, so why not? If anyone sees and doesnt like it, they can leave the roon. However, she doesnt want anyone ogling you
M: Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
When youre bloody or being extra cute. We've already discussed the blood aspect, so the cuteness: if you flash her an extra flirty smile and wink, or if you get really excited over something, or if you get all flustered after arguing with Dabi or Shigaraki, or if youre nice to Twice and help him when he's splitting
N: NO (Something they wouldnât do, turn offs)
No sharing. Nope. Youre hers.
O: Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
She heavily prefers giving over receiving. She gets just as much pleasure from seeing and hearing your reactions. And every time you try and go down on her, she ends up wanting to switch
P: Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)
Slow and teasing. Shes not gonna leave you hanging, for sure, but shes gonna make you struggle to get there. Its almost maddening how much she teases you, but shes cute af so its fine
Q: Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
Nahhh, she wants to take her time. Its no fun if you have to rush through it
R: Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.) Â
Bbgirl can be risky as hell. Shes down for just about anything, and she wants to try lots of things with you. If it doesnt work out, no biggie!
S: Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they lastâŚ)
She can go a couple rounds, 3 max. She has the passion to continue, but she goes so hard that she tires herself and you out pretty fast
T: Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
She doesnt own any except for a bullet vibe, but she can and will use any you present to her. Get ready for some wild times, because she'll find creative ways to use each and every one of them
U: Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Jesus christ she teases so much. You best have some incredible patience, because she isnt gonna let up any time soon
V: Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)
Shes loud, but not with moans or whines. She talks at a very normal volume while she teases you, so everyone can hear her and knows exactly whats going on. Plus, she can make you get p loud too
W: Wild Card (Random headcanon)
She once made Twice make a duplicate of herself to have a threesome with you and herself. It was a damn good time, but he feels too weird about it to do it again
X: X-Ray (Letâs see whatâs going on in those pants, picture or words)
She has a vagina, soooo
Y: Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
Not that high tbh. She just likes sex because it's fun, not because she feels a need to have it
Z: ZZZ (⌠how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Pretty fast if you go more than just one round. She loves to cuddle up to you and fall asleep to the sound of your rapid heartbeat

summary:Â can be read as a separate oneshot or a continuation of âweâre not really strangersââ

The car rolls to a smooth stop. The man in the driverâs seat puts the car into parkâturning towards you while placing a reassuring hand on your thigh.
âHey,â he says, a small close-lipped grin painting across his features, âyou excited?â
You reposition in your seat so you can face him, or more specifically, your best-friend-turned-loverâthe sight of him smiling causes you to elicit one of your own, your nerves slightly subsiding.
âI am actually,â you admit, âhow long has it been? Six? Seven years?â
âAround there I think, but we should probably get going. The lines are probably going to be stupid long like always,â he suggests, his hand leaving your thigh only to ruffle the hair on top of your head, "Here's to new memories Y/N."
You step out onto the pavementâthe crisp, cold night air nipping at your cheeks and nose. The cooler temperature serving as a reminder that winter was yet to come and autumn was about to come to a close. You form an O-shape with your mouth, exhaling sharply and seeing your own breath swirling and blending into the air around you.
Footsteps approach you from the side as you shut the car door. Your head whips around to see Jimin walking towards you with a dopey grin plastered on his face. In response, your eyes playfully loll back, a stream of air huffing out of your nose.
You shift your focus back towards in front of you, eyeing the roller coaster that intimidatingly loomed beyond the fence of the park, the drop tower that appeared just as high, and the other neighboring attractions that towered significantly enough to be seen from afar. The whole stretch of the park emitted a red glow, from what you could assume was from the large-scale lighting and technology that was spread out across the expanse.
A soft hand slides its way from your forearm down to your palm, intertwining all in one smooth motion. It was warm and comforting much unlike your frozen, almost entirely numb ones.
âSomeoneâs a little cold arenât they,â he teases, using his other hand to attempt to rub more warmth into yours.
âYou know my hands are chronically cold,â you pointedly whine, causing small clouds of air to shoot out of his mouth and nose due to his laughter.
He locks the car and you two begin making your way towards the entranceâfrom what seemed like a mile, in reality, was only a block away. There was practically no gap in between the two of you the entire time, taking advantage of each otherâs body heat amidst the numbingly cold weather.
The wait wasn't too shabby, but you knew it was because time always seemed to pass by so much faster when you were with him, most of the pastime consisting of talking about how your past week has been, the fuckton of assignments you two had gotten, and the dangerously high intakes of caffeine you two had consumed as per usual.
The conversation ceased after a while, and it was just the two of you pressed side to side in comfortable silence, hands still intertwined. It was interesting to see such a vast variety of ages all around youâthe most common age range were teenagers or people of the same age as the two of you, which wasnât a surprise. After getting past the ticket booth and security check, you
two finally make it inside.
The first thing you notice is the large, antique carousel that hadnât changed in the tiniest bit since the last time you were here.
The meticulously decorated entranceâbrought to life by the fire torches, heavy-duty fog machines that didn't allow one to see after 10 feet ahead of them, bright lights that were replaced by either no lights at all or a faint red tint, and just the whole ambianceâhad greatly juxtaposed the simplicity and familiarity of the carousel that stood in the eye of it all.
The heat of the fire torches allow you to regain some warmth back into your bodyâyou create a small gap in between you and Jimin, in which he pouts and lifts your intertwined hands up to his face, pressing a kiss into the back of your hand.
âSo, where do you wanna go first?â He asks, swinging your arm back and forth after passing through the gates.
âIâm fine with whatever,â you enunciate a bit loudly, the usual noises of amusement park shenanigans hindering your hearing.
âYou sure about that?â
You click your tongue, âJimin please, Iâm a college student now, not a puny 8th grader anymore,â you argue, watching him turn away as he tries to stifle his laughter, âI swear!â
âAlright! Alright! Iâll believe you,â he eventually caves, frantically waving his hand to dismiss your concerns, âBut I wonât believe you until I see it.â
âOh, so weâre gonna play that game huh,â you retort, brows furrowing as a smirk creeps across your face, âAlright, so what do you think about riding that?â You ask innocently, motioning up towards the drop tower that forced one to crane their neck all the way back just to see the top.
You break your focus as you look back down and turn towards him to gauge his reaction. His jaw dropping down to his kneesâeyes widened in complete bafflement and horror.
âY/N. I am literally going to fucking die if I ride that shit. Oh my god.â
âWhat do you mean? Itâs totally safe! Iâve been on it so many times.â You attempt to console him, knowing itâs futile because of the piercing glare he gives you right after you say that.
âAnd thatâs supposed to make it better how?!"
You soothingly rub the back of his hand in an attempt to ease his nerves, âOf course I wonât push you if you donât want to, you know.â
He sighs, âWell, now youâre just making me sound like a puny 8th grader.â
âI can assure you that you very much, are not Chim.â And he smirks at that, tightening his grip on your hand, making you wish that you didn't give him that ego boost in the first place because he surely didnât need any more of that.
You take some time to mull over your options, but instead, go with whatever your gut feeling was initially leaning towards, âOkay, so what if every time you take me to a house, I have to take you on a ride. You get to choose the house and I get to choose the ride.â
He nods in acknowledgment, âIâm listening.â
âDoes that sound valid?â You inquire.
He bites on his bottom lip, taking a moment to quickly cogitate between the options you had given him, and at last, he nods, "It sounds like a win-win."
"Or a lose-lose." You chuckle, and he mirrors.
He shakes his head, âI know you like rollercoasters and all that scary shit, but thereâs also a ton of stuff that theyâve added since weâve last been here.â He replies, thinking out loud, while making you feel more content with your decision, âYou got a deal maâam.â He affirms at lastâreleasing his grip to offer you his hand to seal the deal, in which you confirm resolutely by shaking it.
Just like he said, the amusement park most definitely stepped up their game ever since you both were middle schoolers, navigating the large expanse with a bunch of other measly and equally puny peers.
The deeper you two make your way into the park, the more themed attractions lined the path. At this point, you could barely make out the bottom half of your legs due to the thickness of the fog. Actors were running around left and rightâfaces decorated with FX makeup that you could barely discern because of the dim lightingâeffectively scaring others, clear by the amount of ear-splitting shrieks you've heard in the past ten minutes that was enough to make your eardrums burst.
Jimin takes note of your slight tenseness. He wasn't oblivious and he knew that you were trying to feign nonchalanceâbut the razor-tight grip on his hand and lack of chatter on your end was saying otherwise. But just like everything you do, he thought it was cute anyway.
He promptly squeezes your hand, making you turn to face him, "Do you want the first pick?"
You hum, "You can have it if you want."
"Are you sure?"
"Yess," you drag out exasperatedly, "how many times do I have to tell you that I'll be perfâ !" You abruptly halt as a zombie (that very much isn't real is what you keep reminding yourself) whizzes past you, brushing against your shoulder and making you jump and trip over your own two feet.
The man beside you is quick to reactâleaping in front of you with his arms out so you could fall into his grasp. And you do, gripping his arms to better steady yourself and stand up. As you attempt to straighten yourself out, your head sinks into his chest, laughter erupting out of the two of you to the point where his knees almost give out.
You detach yourself from his chest, tears pooling in the corners of your eyes from laughing so goddamn much. Finally regaining your poise, you immediately slip your fingers back in between his. He cards a hand through his locks with his remaining hand while taking deep breaths.
While tugging him away from where you two were standing to avoid another ruckus... granted that you were at a haunted amusement park, you shout into foggy air, "I'm fine, I'll be fine Jimin! Let's go!", hoping that maybe if you spoke it out into the world, you could manifest it into being true.
Well, werenât you wrong.
-
A rare and near impossible feat is what you were able to accomplish: forcing Jimin to make a decision. Despite him already being a trademark libra, you always believed that one of his most standout and consistent libra-esque traits was the fact that he was so indecisive. To which had resulted in him forcing you to make decisions instead of him most of the time, whether they had been trivial or not.
The moment you realized that this "feat" wasnât much of a feat, after all, was when you two had finally reached the entrance of the first haunted attraction he had chosen, his impulsive and most likely ulterior-motivated driven decision causing you to retract all preceding moments in which where you were being stubborn and indignant in him making the first pick.
Just your luck, his explanation behind his decision (and your almost near-death experience) is that he says and you quote, âStart off with a bang! We get the worst over with now so itâs all smooth sailing for the rest of the night. Trust me.â
For some context, you had a very rational fear of clowns. The year of 2016 was already bad enough as it wasâa time in which you had gotten out of your first serious relationship, afterward giving yourself the most horrendous haircut in your entire life because you were emotionally strung and the scissors⌠well they just happened to be within an armâs reach.
Later on in said year when you had become a junior and assignments had been piling up higher and higher without any shits given whatsoever, your minuscule fear of clowns had been blown out of all proportionsâultimately fueled by the number of clown sightings around your town and one altercation that you still think about until this day. Four years later, you can still vividly recall the time where you were coming home after studying all day at the local library and on the other side of the street, you had spotted a clownâfeet planted to the cement sidewalk, body immobile besides their head that would keep its focus on you as you continuously made your way down the street. As you began to quicken up your pace, the clown began to reciprocate your actions from across the way, and you came to the conclusion that you didnât really wanna die that night so you sprinted the entire rest of the way home.
And here you two were, at the front of the line standing behind the black curtain entranceânext to a rugged wood sign with the words, CLOWNEUROTICS, inscribed with a dripping, rich red liquid which you surmise was fake blood and not Kool-Aid.
âI cannot believe I let you have the first pick and you do this to meâ You quip, chewing the chapped skin of your lips, breath shallow and bated.
âY/N, youâll be just fine. Iâll be here right beside you, remember?â he assures you once more, giving you another tight squeeze on your hand.
The curtains swish open, the employee in a simple all-black ensemble motioning the two of you to come inside. You close your eyes, taking one deep and steady inhale before stepping in.
You can barely make out your surroundings, let alone Jimin, who was standing right beside you. The workerâs voice hollers over the deafening noises of the tent. âFollow the path, donât go backwards, or else you'll hold up the line. And you see that green light?â He asks while pointing to the tiny green bulb that was down the hallway in front of you, âTake a right from there.â
Jimin replies, knowing that youâre too fear-stricken to form coherent sentences at the moment, âAlright, thanks.â
The man nods, and Jimin tugs on your hand as he begins to walk forward. You follow closely behind, reminding yourself to take breaths before you flat out lose consciousness.
As you reach the end of the hallway and the green light bulb the man mentioned, Jimin pauses and turns around to stand in front of you, placing his hands on your shoulders.
âY/N, I know you hate my guts right now, but Iâm sorry in advance and just know that I love you, okay? You have full permission to torture me after this.â He reassures with a wide grin.
âYeah, yeah, I love you too,â you grumble, lips downturned and head hanging low.
You feel his soft lips graze over your cheek, leaving a chaste peck before giving you an airy, irresistible smile that you canât really help but relent, even though it already feels like your heart is about to implode on itself.
Taking a right, the setting of the attraction comes into periphery. White walls and floorsâreminiscent of a hospital, are tainted with blood, a disarray of medical equipment, and severed body parts. You take notice of the vacant hospital beds, sheets crumpled and stained with red. Framed pictures of medical staff were hanging by loose nails, glass shattered, bloody splatters and smears all over the frames, walls, and white tile.
You two reach a doorway, next to one of the hinges was a sign that clearly said, Psychiatric Ward. Well, I guess that explains the neurotics part.
In an attempt to swallow down some of the fear in your throat, you tighten your grip on Jiminâs hand while opting to slither your remaining hand around his bicep.
He takes notice of your actions that were propelled by your increasing fear, and naturally, he canât help but feel bad, âHey, you know Iâd never let anything happen to you.â He tells you, shaking you out of your slight daze, âYou can hold onto me the whole time and stick your head in my shoulder just like you did years ago, I wonât mind,â he teases while booping your nose.
âAlright, letâs just get this over with, please.â You huff out, determined to somehow put on maybe not a brave, but a braver face than what he expects from you.
You manage to fail in a whopping, record-breaking, ten seconds of going inside.
The first jumpscare was so entirely predictableâthe thunderous pounds against the wall, the trudging and supposedly neurotic clowns (although clowns are already neurotic enough as they are) had all built up suspense until a head of a clown had shot up from around the corner. Their usual clown features distorted with gashes in their skin and blood dribbling out of the corners of their mouth, clothes ripped and stained. Your entire body violently spasms, a shrill shriek, and an embarrassingly long string of curses leave your lips in a matter of mere seconds.
You donât even notice the man youâre holding onto folding over in laughter because the clown is still very much still following you even after you turn the corner, but before you can recalibrate and trek forward another clown materializes just sparse inches at your side. Your entire body forcefully jerks back, knocking into Jimin, but the force doesnât phase him in the slightest as he swiftly brings his arms around your frame to prevent you from falling back.
Next to you, the manâs laughter hasnât ceased a bit the entire time, and as you quickly dash forward and away from the clowns that you oh-so-wanted to knock a tooth out of, while clinging onto his side, he presses a kiss to the top of your head, âHanging in there?â
âI think Iâm gonna murder you before I murder any of these clowns.â
âNoted!â he chimes while playfully bumping his head into yours.
As you two turn another corner, the sight of more clowns banging against vacant windows on either side of you has you wincing, and you could swear you could feel your left eye start to involuntarily twitch. You come to the indubitable realization that amidst dozens of clowns, you are evidently the biggest one here.
The sounds that blaringly elicit from your lips are the nearing equivalent to keyboard smashes with a variety of curse words in between. In short, if you had a swear jar, youâd be practically penniless at this point.
The clowns are quick to take note of your cowardly conduct, using it to their advantage and targeting you specificallyâreaching and intruding so eerily close that youâre almost convinced that theyâre actually touching you. You cower in their presence, squirming and sinking deeper and deeper into Jiminâs hold as you make your way down the path.
Beads of cold sweat began to assert their own path down your foreheadâheart ricocheting against the walls of your chest, straining the cords of your throat because of your never-ending shouts and shrieks of terror upon terror. Your whole body was convulsing and shivering without fault, even when accompanied by the body heat of the man next to you, the harsh lighting of the overhead lights, and the lack of ventilation in this shoddy tent proved to be no match against your bodily functions that were going completely haywire. If you were an Amazon package, you would have a large âCaution: Handle With Careâ sign slapped right onto the box.
The pea-sized amount of pride that remains within you is the only thing stopping you from completely losing your shit.
Jimin's laughterâairy and unwavering, tickling the shell of your ear was the only thing keeping you grounded, serving as a constant reminder that at the very least when you might have lost all your pride and composure, you still had him by your side.
Without much forethought, he continues to lay kisses along your temple, clutching you close to his chest and keeping you upright as your knees constantly buckled under the weight of your looming fear, crumbling composure, and the grisly clowns that were most definitely preying on your downfall.
The ten-minute durationâwhich to you, had felt like a whole lifetime-and-a-half had finally come to a close. Once you were able to discern what you thought was the exit of the tentâthe small opening leading to what had looked like signs of civilization, you booked it without hesitation, hastily tugging Jimin with you to the point where he nearly tramples over his own feet and crashes to the floor due to the sheer and sudden force.
You two finally pass through the exit. Feeling as if you had just ran a timed mile in five minutes, your body caves immediatelyâhunching over, briskly bringing your hands to your knees to support your deteriorating physiological state. The sound of your heavy breathing gets disrupted by Jiminâs laughter. You stand up, straightening yourself out when you realize that other people were starting to make their way towards the exit too, and you two were clearly blocking the way out.
Jimin takes you by the wrist and swiftly pulls you aside as more people start to trickle out of the tent. You two lean against the metal fence, comfortably silent as he lets you catch your breath.
You huff out, taking deep exhales as you speak, "Holy fuck, what even was that?"
"The funniest thing I have ever seen," he shoots back with a smile, slightly breathless as well.
You blink rapidly, body slumping against the fence, still completely cynical and disbelieving in what you had experienced. Biting the inside of your cheek so hard you're pretty sure you left teeth marks, you wipe your sweat with the hem of your sleeve.
"You okay?" he asks softly, closing the gap in between the two of you.
You nod, affirming your composure in hopes that it would solidify it for real. Giving him a smile to ease the nerves you knew he had, you visibly saw his smile widen, and with that, you ruffle his hair, take his hand into your own, and walk a few steps forward before announcing brazenly into the chilly autumn wind,
"Drop zone time."
"Y/N PLEASEâ!"
-
"Don't do this, anything else but this please." He pleads, lips jutting out while childishly tugging on your sleeve.
You groan, "Bub, we had a deal."
He presses his lip together, "I know... but just look at that! How does that even look remotely safe enough for one to ride?" He tries to reason with you, staring up at the attraction that he believes should not even be labeled as an 'attraction' in the first place.
You chuckle softly, shaking your head, "If it was that much of a safety hazard, it wouldn't even exist Chim."
"I will never understand why people ride this out of enjoyment and pleasure. This is insane," he says, his eyes trailing to the long line of people behind the two of you.
"It's three seconds, I swear. Three seconds compared to my ten minutes of cussing and wanting to punch a clown in the face is very reasonable in my opinion. Youâll be just fine, Iâll hold your hand the whole time," you add on.
He quietly freezes in placeâeyes fixated on the tower, hands leaving the fabric of your sweater. You feel his warm hand come in contact with yours, the back of his hand grazing your knuckles. Lacing your fingers in between his, he meets your eyes, giving you a timid, lopsided grin. A silent affirmation that had said more than words couldâve. I trust you but Iâm still scared shitless.
âYou guys are next,â the worker announces, opening the gate and gesturing you two to come inside. Jiminâs smile dissipates, face contorting into a look of mortification at the manâs wordsâeyes widening to the size of what would be considered as utter shock and lips curling into a form of disgust.
Tugging lightly at his hand, he whips his head towards you, waiting to speak until you two have passed the gate, âY/N, Iâm literally gonna piss my pants like Iâm not even joking.â
âJimin!â you say in a hushed yell, âPlease donât, I know your pride is too precious to you for you to annihilate it by pissing on a ride that even kids go on.â
He scoffs, âOkay fine⌠but weâre getting churros after this.â
Your brows furrow in confusion, smiling at his tone, âWhy would I argue against churros?â
âHello, miss? Come this way, please,â another worker greets, leading the two of you to two vacant spots of the ride where you presume were going to be yours.
You nod, making your way towards the two seats, hearing Jimin splutter incoherent words and sounds from behind your shoulder.
He immediately plops into the innermost spot, refusing to be on the outermost seat that only had one accompanying seat on one side, albeit it truly didnât matter. And of course, you donât tell him that.
Smiling at his overt signs of apprehension, you slide into the spot next to him, beginning to put on the seatbelt over your lap.
Drumming his fingers on his knees, he already has his seatbelt buckled and his over-the-shoulder restraints locked and secured into place.
âUgh, can these things go any tighter! I can still move under here,â he tuts, vigorously trying to push the restraints closer to his body, yet his attempts are proven to be in vain.
âBub, they still want you to be able to breathe,â you remind him with a small giggle, your head popping out of the U-shaped bar to look over at himâhis brows knit in concentration, nose scrunched, lips tucked into his mouth.
In a final attempt, you hear the man beside you take a sharp and deep inhale, only to hear a tiny click emit from the restraint shortly afterward.
He releases his bated breath, only to come to the realization that he canât extend his stomach all the way forward, the bar forcing it to come short. He splutters, bringing his hand to cover his face while he coughs only to realize that his arm canât fully reach around the bar to meet his face.
You watch this entire scene unfold out in front of youâwishing you could do something to help the poor guy, but you already knew your attempts would be pointless in the end as your arms are physically incapable of extending that far. You sink back into your seat to make sure he doesnât see the fact that you were trying so hard not to laugh.
âJimin, deep breaths, in and out,â you instruct him as the worker starts to make their rounds around the ride, double-checking for seatbelts and secured restraints.
âY/N, thatâs the problem, I canât.â
âTry scooting back into your seat,â the worker suggests to Jimin, giving him an empathetic smile.
âWhat do you meanâoh, erm, thank you.â
She nods, shaking Jiminâs restraint a little more energetically to reassure the man of his safety.
As she leaves, he says to you, âY/N, I canât believe you convinced me to go on this.â
âMe too, honestly. Iâm really proud of you Chim.â You admit, reaching out a hand towards him in which he takes.
âThree seconds, right?â He reiterates.
âGive or take, yeah.â
âY/Nâ!â
Your seats suddenly clatter, signaling the start of your long ascent. Jiminâs grip on your hand tightens substantially, causing you to groan out in pain.
He quickly takes note of the noise, loosening his grip ever so slightly, âOh my god, sor- oh fucking hell, thereâs no going back now?!â
You chomp down on your bottom lip before another sound could escape your mouthâhis grip on your hand tightening the higher you two go, âNo, no youâre fine, itâs okay..â
âHOLY SHIT WHY ARE WE ALREADY THIS HIGH UP?!â He yelps, kicking his feet against the airâpeopleâs heads starting to look as small as ants, the rest of the park coming into view as if you were experiencing it from a droneâs point of view.
âDumbass, donât look down!â
âItâs too lateâwhat the hell, why can I see the whole damn city from here?!â He sticks his head out of his restraint, looking up and trying to find the top, âwHen the FUCK does this shit stop please, Y/N, I cAnâT do this?!?!â
âChim. Breathe. Deep, steady breaths, okay?â You say while audibly taking breaths so he can do the same.
âOkay, okay,â he says, voice cracking but following suit.
After you think that he finally manages to get a grip on himself, you decide to try to take his mind off the situation at hand, âJimin, look at the view.â
His breath softens as he begins to take in his surroundings. He could see everything. To him, it feels as if he had the city in the palm of his hand. The rollercoasters that reside next to the tower were practically reaching eye-level to him, and despite the lack of color due to the theme of the park, he thought it was mesmerizing anyway. He marvels at the fact that he could even see past the parkâcatching a glimpse of the cars zooming on the main highway, minute specks of light emitting from the windows of skyscrapers, people living in their own little worlds in each one, And of course, the envy of it all, the night skyâthe dark depth littered with a multitude of stars in their own little patterns and worlds of their own as well.
The overhead speakers trumpet, ripping Jimin out of his trance-like state, âWelcome to the drop zone brave newcomers. I hope youâve had an enjoyable trip on the way up here. And I hope that your descent is just as enjoyable as well. We will be dropping in... â
Jimin heaves out, âNow thatâs just plain rude at this point.â
âTen.â
âAre you okay?â
He scoffs. âWhat kind of question is that Y/N?!â
âNine.â
âJimin, youâll be just fine,â You reassure for the umpteenth time.
âI swear if this is longer than three secondsââ
âEight.â
He frantically kicks the air. âFucking hell! I canât believe Iâm doing this right now, I miss the ground.â
âSeven.â
âWeâll be back down to earth sooner than you think, Iâm telling you.â
âSix.â
âOh my fucking god, oh my fuckâ!â
âFive.â
âOh fuck, holy shitâ!â
âJimin, Iâll be right beside youââ
âFour.â
ââthe whole way.â
âOH MY FUCKING GOD?!â
âThreâ!â
Before the countdown can finish, you two plummet, plunging down at great speedsâa feral-sounding squawk leaving Jiminâs lips when it all happens.
He squeezes his eyes shut, refusing to see what was going onâletting go of your hand, he opts to hold onto the other handlebar on the restraint instead. His breath is caught in his throat, the ride is moving so fast that he canât even produce any noise, let alone move his body.
Just like you have been saying this whole night, the ride ends in a blink of an eye. Or more specifically, three seconds, give or take.
Jimin slumps in his seatâfingers still curled so tightly around the handlebars that his knuckles turn pale.
You stick your head out of your restraint, craning your neck to look at him beside you, âJimin, itâs done, itâs over.â
âAre you sure?â He mumbles.
âOpen your eyes.â
His head slowly rises, eyes remaining shut. Cracking one eye slightly open, he loosens his grip on the handlebars before opening his eyes and letting out a deep sigh of relief.
"That wasn't so bad, right?" You beam, waiting for the restraints to be lifted.
"I wouldn't know, I had my eyes closed the whole time," he shyly admits, lifting the restraint off of him and unbuckling his seatbelt.
You two jump out of your seats, heading towards the gate and bidding the drop tower goodbye, juxtaposing afterthoughts lingering in the air.
"That felt so weird, I don't know if I wasn't able to move or if there wasn't enough time for me to react," he chuckles dryly while twining his hand with yours once again.
You smile, "Probably a little bit of both," you suggest, eyes scanning the park for any signs of a churro stand, "but hey, you survived!"
He smiles at that, teeth out and all, "We both did," he assures earnestly, "and now as an incentive, we are getting churros."
Your eyes light upâthe sight of the bright neon sign being the next destination of the night. Jimin notices your sudden reaction, quickly looking in the same direction as you and pinpointing the small churro stand from afar.
To your luck, the line isn't very longâpeople are most likely preoccupied with the multitude of attractions that are only going to be available for this appropriate time of the year, taking advantage of the opportunity before having to wait for an entire year before getting to experience it all over again. But you and Jimin weren't like most people, and you two strongly believed that churros should be indulged in at any time during any situation. And right now, it was being utilized as a form of consolation, just in the shape of a deep-fried pastry sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.
After obtaining your consolation desserts, you two resume your journey around the park. Too preoccupied indulging in your churro, youâre temporarily able to block out the commotion that was occurring around you, keeping four out of five senses focused on said churro and churro only.Â
âYou feel better?â You ask, taking a brief moment to dust off all the cinnamon and sugar off the corners of your mouth.Â
âMmhmph,â he incoherently mumbles, after shoving half a churro into his mouth. He abruptly pauses, cheeks puffed up and eyes wide, realizing he canât talk and instead he nods with a grin as wide as his mouth would allow him to stretch out.Â
You giggle at his actions, taking your focus off of him to take another bite.Â
A few moments later, when most of your churros noticeably nowhere to be seen, you ask, âWhere should we go next?â
He cinches his brows together, âWe probably shouldnât go on anything to extreme, considering we just ate. How about the ferris wheel?â He suggests, pointing to the attraction that was standing in front of the two of you.Â
You nod, âYouâre right, these workers already go through enough. And we shouldnât add cleaning vomit to the list.â
He chuckles, âAgreed. Letâs go, the line is pretty short!â He exclaims jubilantly, flashing you a mega-watt grin while pulling you along with him towards the gated entrance.Â
Leaning against the gate, you two wait for the round of riders that were currently riding to finish, mindlessly scrolling on your phones to pass the time.Â
The gate entrance opens, tearing your focus off of your phone and back to reality. The enormous and dazzling neon wheel that stood boldly enveloped your vision in replacement of your dim and dark-mode setted phone screen, making you blink a few times to adjust to its harsh hues.Â
One of the carts comes to a halt, doors releasing as the group of friends inside it begin to grab their belongings and head out. The worker in charge motions you to step inside after they leave, the two of you following suit. When you two become situated and seated, they press a few buttons on their control panel, the doors promptly swinging close. A few brief seconds after, the cart jolts before moving just enough so the other people behind you could board onto the next cart.
The carts reminded you of the teacup ride at Disneylandâbuilt in a circular shape, seats lined around the border with a small gap made for the entrance door, but of course, it was void of steering wheels in the middle. Now that would just be a recipe for disaster, and a solid segue into Jimin vomiting all over you.
He nudges your leg, âItâs so funny to me.â
You turn to him, âWhat is?â
âOut of all things to do while being here, and weâre riding the ferris wheel,â he beams, a light chuckle leaving his lips, âI donât know whether to pity us or not.â
âAll my pride has left me already and Iâm okay with it,â you tut, lips unwillingly curling upward as you replayed the scenes of what had happened earlier at the drop zone, âI wouldnât talk too much if I were you Mr. âIâm gonna piss my pants.â You tease, poking him in the side.
He scoffs, squirming slightly where you poked him, âI am still proud of myself, I didnât think I was gonna make it up there.â
You turn away, holding in your laughter, âI didnât think you were either.â
âHey! Donât even get me started on you,â he says, nose scrunching and brows furrowing, âthose poor clowns were about to get their noses punched in if it wasnât for me being there. I think your screams and threats were starting to scare them more than they were scaring me.â He fires back, giggles erupting in his throat and interrupting his words.
âIâm not even gonna argue against that. We are so sad,â you sayâlaughter flaring up in your chest as well, the two of you keeling over so hard the cart begins to swing back and forth.
âWoah! Woah! Woah! Easy there,â Jimin yelps as you two take notice of the movement and immediately cease your actions, hands grabbing the ends of the cart to try to stabilize it.Â
Just as your cart has moved up enough for you to start seeing an overhead view of the park, he whips his phone out before saying, âLemme take a picture of you, the view is so nice here.â
As he whips out his phone, you scoot to the other end of the cart as he brings his phone up to his face and focuses it on you. Naturally, you bring your hand up, hand changing to a trademark peace sign as you flashed a smile for the camera. He brings his phone down many lock screen worthy pictures later, happy with the result evident from the grin etched onto his face.Â
âYour turn,â you say, motioning you two switch spots as you take your phone out of your pocket.Â
Jimin, infuriatingly photogenic, simply sits while staring off into the distance, jaw on full display as you begin to rapidly snap pictures. Hearing your camera clicks he changes his positionâturning towards you as the chilly wind blows through his hair, eyes crinkling and dazzling smile on full display that you canât help but smile at the familiar yet all too breathtaking sight.Â
Placing your phone in your lap, you scoot closer to himâleaning your back against his shoulder, you prop your legs up onto the seats. Turning towards you, he snakes his arms around your waist as his chest comes in contact with your back. You let yourself sink deeper into his grasp, conforming into his body as warmth spreads to your fingertips. Your head lulls back, falling into the space right below his collarbones as you stroke the back of his hands gingerly with the pad of your thumbs. He rests his chin on top of your head, the two of you simply admiring the view below.Â
The ride still hasnât startedâpeople still boarding the ride as the carts momentarily halt and move from time to time.Â
Not long after, your cart reaches the very top.Â
Head peering over the edge, he turns back, âSee, why did we have to go on the drop tower when we couldâve went here instead,â he grumbles, the peak of the tower standing nearly just as tall as the highest point of the ferris wheel to the point where you could stare directly ahead of you without tilting your head.
âWell that takes all the fun out of it,â you tease, making him frown, âHey! You keep forgetting what you made me go through before that. Donât think Iâve gotten over it that quickly.â
Looking displeased at your answer, he quirks a brow, âYou seemed to be fine when we were riding the tower.â
âWhat can I say, you make a very good distraction.â
âI think I could say the same for you,â he proposes, âI swear I saw some of those clowns turn away and start laughing every time you threatened them. I was like âYes! Thatâs my feisty girlfriend!â he cheers, pumping his fists into the air. You cower down in embarrassment, grinning to yourself while trying to swat his arm away.Â
âI feel so burned out already though,â you say, head falling back into his chest, âI think itâs âcause weâre here at night.âÂ
âAnd because you track-starred your way through that entire maze,â he adds.
âThat too.â
âI feel it too, we did more walking than anything else to be honest.â He says, which is very much true. The drop tower was all the way on the other side of the park and the churro stand took you guys a whole twenty minutes just to find.Â
You hum, âShould we head out after this then?â
He rests his cheek on top of your head, âYeah, if you want to.â
âI feel bad though, it feels like we just got here,â you admit, chuckling into his arm.Â
He shakes his head, hands reaching over to play with the ends of your hair, âDonât feel bad, I think weâre still hungover because of midterms. And besides, Iâm hungry and I donât wanna eat a ten dollar hotdog after just eating a stale ten dollar churro.â
âYeah, we can just eat one dollar ramen, weâre still college students above everything.â
And you truly couldnât argue with that. âOf course.â
Taking your hands off of his, you prop a hand onto the cart to sit yourself up onto the seats. He releases his hold on you, his arms returning back to his sides as the warmth of your body dissipates to his dismay.Â
You adjust your sitting position so you could face himâreaching out to take one of his hands into your own. Your eyes bore into his, gazing into the pools of honey that were his irises. The view is slightly obscured as his eyes crinkle.
He smiles, âWhy are you looking at me like that?â
You donât even register that heâs speaking to you until he leans in slightly, his features starting to appear bigger as he starts to close the gap between you two. You shake your head once he gets so close in proximity that you could see each crinkle that etches themself on the sides of his eyes each time he grins.Â
Your eyes flicker to his lips, taking notice of the action as you quickly revert back to his eyes. He smirks
âThank you for taking me here,â you say as your eyes intently gaze into his once more, âabove all the trepidation weâve put each other through tonight, at least weâre here together.â
He nods, gratitude evident without him having to utter a single word. Itâs as if time is frozen, everything around you stagnant and still, eyes boring into each other because nothing could just quite compare to this. Not even the surreal view of the city or the ability to see all the bustle within the amusement park or even the stars that littered the sky.Â
You press your lips against his. Although you initiated the action, the sensation of his lips against yours, regardless of how natural, sends a flurry of shockwaves down your spine. Your body tinglesâas if youâre floating and the cart you were sitting on wasnât even there to support you.Â
And he kisses you back. His lips are warm, welcoming, and comfortingâlike wrapping yourself in your favorite blanket in the comforts of your bed, the indescribable bliss as the fabric consumes your body and runs over your skin.Â
Kissing him felt even more blissful than that.
The kiss isnât fervent, but itâs full of longing. Itâs as if heâs communicating to you, through the way his lips mesh against yours, that he plans on making up for all the lost time. Time that couldâve been spent doing things like kissing you, loving you wholeheartedly and unashamedly, was spent pining for each other with the label of being âbest friendsâ standing in the way for far too long. He wants to make up for it just as much as you do.Â
He slides his hand under the crevice of your knee, pulling you closer to him as he continues to kiss you. You bring your hand up to his neck, entangling your fingers into his hair as you lightly scratched at the surface of his scalp.Â
He kisses you like heâll never get to again, which isnât completely falseâthe fact that you two were so high up in the air to the point where the stars look tangible, basking in each otherâs presence and each otherâs presence only.Â
Frustrated at the abnormal layout of the seating, he hooks his arms under your legsâhoisting you up and placing you in his lap so you were straddling himâincognizant of how the cart was starting to dip due to the unequal distribution of weight.Â
The gesture makes you squeak, and you can start to feel him smile against your lips. Before you could do anything else, the cart tottersârocking a few times before moving, signaling that the ferris wheel is finally beginning its journey.Â
âOh fuckâ!â
âOh shitâ!â
The two of you immediately detach from each other as you take notice of the unbalance, hurriedly leaping onto opposite sides of the cart while gripping onto the sides for dear life, the cart rocking back and forth at a concerning extent. You sneak glances at each other, your faces painted with the same expression of shock and distress. Â
Seconds pass and the cart steadiesâlaughter instantaneously taking over the two of you.
âI think thatâs our cue to leave,â he says, a little breathless while his body hunched over his seat.
âRemind me the next time we kiss to check if weâre less than a foot above the ground first,â you tease, playfully swatting his knee.
He grabs your hand, pressing a kiss onto your knuckles before shaking your intertwined hands up in the airâobnoxiously shouting into the frigid autumn wind, âYes chief!âÂ
