Grayson jealous Hawthorne (Lyra x Grayson)

Lyra didn’t know what was more dangerous—being on Hawthorne Island during the Grandest Game or stepping into an upscale Dallas boutique with Grayson Hawthorne and his black card.

They were supposed to be grabbing coffee. One thing led to another, and now she was wandering past racks of designer dresses while Grayson was talking to someone he recognized—a tall, clean-cut guy in a navy blazer who’d called out, “Grayson? Man, I haven’t seen you since Harvard”

Grayson had raised an eyebrow, given her a look that said just a second, and then the two men started catching up.

Which was fine. Totally fine.

Lyra strolled through the boutique, her fingers grazing fabrics. Then she saw it: a deep emerald green silk dress, open-backed, with delicate straps and a plunging neckline. It looked like it had been made to start trouble. Naturally, she grabbed it.

She held it up to herself, smiling at the way it shimmered in the light, when a voice beside her said, “That would look amazing on you.”

She turned. The guy was probably mid-twenties, cocky grin, hair pushed back in a way that said he either modeled part-time or desperately wanted to.

“You think so?” Lyra asked, amused.

“I know so,” he said, stepping closer. “You’ve got the figure for it. In fact, let me—” He reached into his wallet. “Let me buy it for you.”

Lyra blinked. “Are you serious?”

“As a heart attack.” He flashed a smirk. “You try that on, I buy it. Win-win.”

She laughed—not out of nerves, but because, seriously?

But then—

“What’s going on here?”

Grayson’s voice was sharp, calm, but with that undercurrent of icy fire. The kind that could freeze boiling water. He appeared at her side like a shadow, one hand resting lightly at the small of her back. He was all Hawthorne now—shoulders squared, expression unreadable.

The guy looked between them, then at Grayson’s hand. “Oh. I didn’t know she was with someone.”

Grayson didn’t even blink. “She is. I’m her boyfriend. And she won’t be needing you to buy the dress for her, because I already planned on it.”

The guy opened his mouth, probably to make some snide comment, but Grayson added—very calmly—“Is there a problem?”

The other guy took a step back, palms up. “No problem. My mistake.” And then he practically jogged out of the store.

Lyra turned to Grayson, eyes sparkling. “Seriously?”

“What?” he said, all innocence, but his jaw was still tense.

“You got jealous.”

“I didn’t—”

“You got so jealous, Grayson.” She laughed, looping her arm through his. “You were one second away from body-checking that guy into a clothing rack.”

“I was not jealous,” he said, guiding her toward the fitting rooms. “I was... asserting boundaries.”

“Uh-huh. Like a territorial golden retriever.”

Grayson shot her a look that was half offense, half grin. “I’m not a golden retriever.”

“Fine,” she said, holding up the dress. “You’re a very hot golden retriever. Who’s buying me a backless dress.”

Grayson rolled his eyes but pulled out his wallet. “Only because you look gorgeous in green.”

Lyra smirked and went to try it on, leaving Grayson outside the fitting room, shaking his head but smiling like a man completely, irrevocably in love.

Hope you guys liked Jealous Grayson ittttt (I'll admit its a bit rushed but I'm sorry 😭😭)

TGG SPOILERS!!!

are we gonna talk about how fortnite is literally grayson and lyra’s song in the grandest game??

like just imagine it as lyra towards grayson/lyra’s pov for a sec:

“i was a functioning alcoholic till nobody noticed my new aesthetic” obv she’s not actually an alcoholic but “nobody noticed my new aesthetic” is so lyra when tobias died and the hawthorne name was all over the news, so lyra’s life changed from that point on and she stopped doing ballet, moved to college, and her life was thrown off course, AND NOBODY EVEN NOTICED/KNEW WHY!! (apart from her parents)

“and no one here’s to blame, but what about your quiet treason?” lyra realizing that the younger hawthornes that she had been petty and blaming before weren’t actually to blame, and grayson just getting in her head the entire book

“and for a fortnight there, we were forever” and for those 12 hours, lyra could pretend that they could actually be together

“all my mornings are mondays stuck in an endless february” all her mornings/days (more nights tho since she dreams of his death) are her being stuck on the day that her father shot himself. (it’d be cool if her birthday was acc in february bc then the lyric would be so much more true LOL)

“I took the miracle move on drug, the affects were temporary” her convincing herself that she didn’t need closure about what happened to her father from grayson after he told her to stop calling, but then craving it again once she arrives at the island and meets him irl

“i love you, it’s ruining my life” her loving him means being in a constant war with herself because of what happened to her father, hence the “it’s ruining my life”

“i touched you for only a fortnight” she touched him for only 12 hours LOL

“thought of calling ya, but you won’t pick up” when grayson told lyra to “stop calling” and she stopped assuming that if she even tried he wouldn’t bother picking up

AND THE REST JUST GIVES LYRA X GRAYSON VIBES BUT I CANT EXPLAIN IT 😭😭

A Grand Soup [Comfortember 2023]

Characters: Micah Yujin x “Angel” Visual Novel/Game: Error 143 Genre: Comfort (more fluff, I’m feeling) Summary: Because Micah shall not settle for any old simple soup. Word Count: 822

Prompt: 27. Soup

Micah’s happy voice sounds through the front of the house. “Angel~ I'm home!”

“In the kitchen!” she calls back. 

Micah practically trots into the kitchen with his nose in the air, dropping the shopping bags onto the island countertop. “Oh, you brought out the big pot!”

She giggles, turning from her stirring. “What did you bring home?”

She can almost see imaginary ears popping up from his hair as he lights up.

“Angel, I went down that market street you told me about? There was produce EVERYWHERE!” He starts pulling out ingredients from the various cloth and straw bags. “I got carrots… sweet potatoes… bok choy - I hope I said that right - tomatoes, corn, red and white onions…” 

Micah separates a smaller amount and pushes the pile across the counter to where Angel is waiting with her sharpened knife. She transfers all she can carry to the sink to wash and peel as necessary.

“Don't think I'm done!” He says excitedly, although there's no way she possibly could've when he came in with four large bags stuffed to capacity. She listens as he continues unloading his haul like a proud gatherer. 

“I didn't even know cauliflower came in yellow! I got the regular white, too. I got all four colours of sweet peppers, white and purple cabbage - why do they call it red? Red onions aren't even red, either!”

Angel chuckles at his tone, bringing over bowls to separate the prepped ingredients. Her husband’s insistence at an excessively wide countertop was currently much appreciated. They could host a full family reunion to this thing.

“I got a bunch of beans and stuff, too! I found those ‘lentils’ you kept asking about, and Lima beans, and black beans, red beans, split peas…”

“Micah Yujin, who are we feeding with all this?” She asks with a laugh. The carrots had been diced and she was on to the broccoli he had purposely not announced. Her eyes roamed over the various mushrooms and pumpkin, lighting up at the butternut squash.

“Me and you, my love,” he answers in a posh tone. “You told me to bring home veggies for soup. This will ensure we execute only the grandest soup possible.”

“It'll be healthy, that's for sure,” she murmurs as Micah pushes the bags to the opposite end of the counter. 

He goes over to the sink, washing his hands before returning with his apron hanging from his neck and a knife and cutting board in his arms. “You didn't think I was leaving you to prep all this alone, did you?” He gasps dramatically. “I'm hurt, my angel, that you think so little of me after living as my sweet wife all this time.”

“We've been married for three months, Yujin.”

“And clearly I haven't demonstrated myself enough in those 90 days, Mrs. Yujin.” He makes quick work of the onions, using the excuse to have tears accompany his exaggerated sniffling.

Cassie shakes her head as she sets aside a bowl of greens, clearing her cutting board for the cabbage. “My apologies, my sweet.”

“No!” Micah huffs with a pout, leaving the tears as he moves on to the bell peppers. “This is my failure as a husband. I am more than just a provider, a bringer of raw materials for sustenance. I must prove myself!”

Cassie raises an eyebrow as he pushes away the peppers, dutifully wiping his knife before smacking down a sweet potato. God bless him because as much as she loved the things, cutting them was a workout. She would gladly watch him strongarm that vegetable into submission for their pot.

Micah turned everything into a performance or a good time. Even with his antics he was an efficient kitchen assistant, and pretty soon everything they wanted was in the pot and bubbling away. 

He sniffs the air, a confused look on his face. “Angel, is the oven on?” He bent to look but couldn't tell.

“Should be,” she responds as she rinses the dishes. “I've got bread rising in there.”

She squeaks into a laugh as she's suddenly hugged from behind, dropping a - thankfully plastic - bowl. She squirms as Micah peppers her cheek with kisses. “It's just bread, babe, relax!”

“My Angel made bread from scratch with this timing and I must relax?” He asks incredulously. “I shall not!”

“I'm assuming that informing you that my first attempt at a garlic confit is also in there will earn me more physical affect- Wah!” She squawks as she's raised clean off her feet and walked out of the kitchen.

“Mm-mm, mm-mm” Her husband repeats in her ear. “You're not allowed to do this to me. You're showing me up.”

“Micah-”

“ I'm the giver in this relationship, missy. Stop stealing my love language!” They topple onto the large sofa where he smothers her and her protesting laughter in kisses. 

It's a good thing they have a rather loud and intrusive kitchen timer.

Part 2 of the Sims!MP100 AU is finally here!!! [Part 1] [Fanart for pt2: x] [Fic] [New Server]

Some more lore was added to the AU!

So basically, Mob and Ritsu were orphaned when they lost their parents to a house fire. Since they had no other relatives, they had to be put in the foster system. Reigen, (who already knew Mob before it all happened), decided he was going to do everything in his power to take care of the poor kid and keep him out of the foster system. He tried to adopt the two brothers, but there was a big pushback from the court. Reigen was single, unemployed, a smoker, and didn’t exactly have a good track record for, well, anything. There were innumerable cases before Reigen was able to finally win over the court... or at least, partially win them over. He was able to adopt Mob, but Ritsu wasn’t so lucky. Ritsu was sent to be fostered by an older woman with a lot of cats. Ritsu lives so far away now that he and Mob never get to see each other. While Mob still calls him from time to time, it feels to him like he lost his brother in the fire that day too. 

Reigen is doing his best to be the most loving parent he can be to a kid in this situation, but its hard when Mob refuses to talk or share his emotions. Reigen’s also struggling to do everything he can to get himself financially stable. He’s been in interview after interview trying to get a job so he can support Mob. Its hard though, finding time to write resumes and such, when you’re raising a kid full time. He’s trying to manage living with a demonic cat, keeping the house in one piece, keeping his kid happy and healthy, and balancing his finances all while having the court breathing down his neck. Reigen is doing everything he can to prove himself worthy to the system, not just so he can keep Mob, but also so that one day he can finally reunite the Kageyama brothers.

Even though Reigen is his legal father, Mob still goes by Kageyama and doesn’t call him dad (yet). Its hard for Mob to really accept that his parents are gone now. Reigen respects this, and doesn’t try to force the whole “dad” thing onto him, but a small part of him hopes that one day, maybe when he gets Ritsu back, he can finally be his real dad. 

and now that that's done, here's what all that’s happened since we left! :)

-Reigen tries his best to help Mob with homework, despite not knowing a thing about math.

-And finally, finally, FINALLY Reigen is able to get a job! its a crappy, minimum wage job as a mailroom technician, but hey! if it pays the bills it pays the bills.

-That night, as they’re trying to sleep, Mob and Reigen are rudely awakened by the sound of their neighbors,,,, uhh,,,,, 

-(Reigen decides he’d rather lie to the kid about what those noises are)

-But since Mob isn’t able to get any sleep, he goes over himself to bang on the neighbor’s door. 

-Turns out? Creepy stalker neighbor has a lady friend! and now she and Reigen are yelling at each other... while she’s naked...

-This, by the way, is how they start the morning of their first thanksgiving together! :)

-Reigen is actually very excited, this is their first Thanksgiving as a family after all! He can’t wait to give him boy the most perfect Thanksgiving ever! :D

-And of course, it turns out to be everything but perfect. 

-To start off, their house is invaded by gnomes:

-Thankfully, Mob and Reigen are able to appease the gnomes through the power of singing and coffee (dont question it)

-They leave Reigen with seedpackets as a token of their gratitude. Reigen’s not really sure what to do with these, but he’s very thankful.

-The gnomes, however, then decide to surround Reigen’s bed, making it impossible to go back to sleep. 

-And as if things can’t get any worse, an old friend creep decides to give Reigen a call

-how this man managed to find out that Reigen got hired the morning after he got the call is beyond all of us. Reigen hasn’t even spoken to him. He hasn’t even left the house since he got the call.

-Doesn’t he have a lady friend now?? Why doesn’t he just go and bother her?? ?

-We finally decided that things were a little bit too chaotic at the apartment. Since both of them had the day of we thought, hey, why not have Reigen and Mob go out for a little morning jog? Some body improvement! 

-We would later come to regret this decision

-Poor Mob has trouble keeping up with Reigen

-The two of them are enjoying their run so much, Reigen decides to go outside the city to run!

-They take a taxi down to Brindleton Bay, and then a boat out to a nearby island.

-Mob and Reigen continue jogging as they explore the area a bit! Mob comes up with the idea to climb up to the top of the lighthouse. They use the opportunity to get some stair exercises in. (Body improvement! Fight on!)

-The view from the top is gorgeous! Reigen can’t help but feel so proud of Mob’s progress. 

 -Mob, it seems, isn’t able to wait until Thanksgiving dinner to tell Reigen how he feels. 

-Things, it seems, can’t get any fluffier. 

-Then of course

-That’s when everything goes to shit

-Reigen is now freezing to death, trapped on an island, far away from home, with not much time left before his body temperature drops so low that Mob has to watch another one of his father figures die. 

-The chat, of course, is handling this very calmly

-Luckily, Mob spots a house on the shoreline!

-Thankfully, there was a very kind family living there!! A Mom, her son, her young daughter, as well as their dog were there when Mob arrived with Reigen

-The woman didn’t hesitate for a moment, but went straight to work saving Reigen

-Reigen resisted help at first (he didn’t want to be seen naked), but they were eventually able to get him in the tub

-Mob stood by and waited nervously as we watched his dad slowly return from the brink of death

-Thankfully, THANKFULLY, the woman was able to save him!

-Mob is more than ecstatic to see Reigen alive and breathing, he doesn’t even wait for Reigen to leave the room before he gives him a hug

 -The woman was kind enough to let them stay over at their house until Reigen’s body temperature went all the way back to normal. She even lit him a fire to warm himself by. 

-A picture of Reigen thanking the kind woman

-While Reigen is sitting by the fire bundled in blankets, trying to get the cold out of his bones, Mob finds himself making a new friend. 

-The woman’s son and Mob bond over their shared interest in video games!

-Mob also discovered their piano! His playing sounded pretty awful, but he’s trying his best!!

-We’re suddenly distracted from playing Mob when Reigen’s moodlet shoots through the roof. The cause of his excitement? 

-He saw a doggo

-he does have the dog lover trait after all, who can blame him

-Reigen is able to recover before nightfall, and he takes Mob home for the night, both of them having made a new friend.

-Reigen decides he’s gonna try and salvage this disaster of a holiday with the grandest thanksgiving meal Mob has ever had!

-He goes to work trying to prepare the turkey, despite having no cooking experience, and having completely and utterly destroyed every single meal he’s tried to cook so far.

-Surprisingly, Reigen manages to cook the turkey without burning it!! 

-The two of them decide to go and get themselves dressed while the turkey cools. 

-But of course, the sims gods refuse to leave this poor family in peace. 

-For when they return to their thanksgiving turkey they see-

-Disaster

-In perfect Christmas-Story fashion, Dimple decided to go and EAT THE ENTIRE TURKEY

-The chat panics

-That turkey was $75, more than an entire paycheck for Reigen

-We begin frantically deciding what objects of furniture in the house aren’t necessary. I mean, how badly do they need a toilet anyways?  

-An unexpected hero jumps in at the last moment to save the day: Reigen’s new job! Despite the fact that Reigen hasn’t even gone to work yet, they decided to give him a holiday bonus!

-Reigen is able to remake the entire meal with his bonus! Surprisingly, the family is able to spend the rest of their dinner in peace, with no weird or traumatic events to ruin their day. (Its like a thanksgiving miracle!) Mob talks to Reigen about his new friend, school, his favorite animal, video games, and other such things. 

-For a moment, it feels like Family

-Reigen, it seems, can’t seem to shake off what Mob said to him before the near-death experience at the lighthouse. He decides that there’s no better time than the present for him to tell Mob how he feels.  

-Despite all the trauma this family has had to endure, they both go to bed feeling happier and more loved than ever before

-All’s well that ends well I guess?

And as a Bonus:
