Abby and Readers relationship headcanons <3

Abby Anderson x Fem reader/ Modern AU

Warnings: 18+

•

How you met:

• Abby was a game developer at a big gaming company, you visited every once in awhile to help your friend out with anything and to hang around the place.

• You guys met a few times while in the elevator of the company. She would always press the button and allow you to walk in first.

• The silence on the elevator broke when you became curious about her position there.

•She was an artist.

• ….you love artists

• She asked you “Do you work here?” and ofc you said no, just there to help your friend sometimes. And immediately she asked you out on a date, masking it as just going to lunch as friends.

•You said yeah ….ofc

• On your lunch date, you asked her a bunch of things and so did she, but one thing that stood out to you was her gym routine.

•Her arms were so sexy to you. (You felt them in a non flirty way 🫣)

• “I work out five days a week, uh.. Upper body mostly.” She said, and you blushed…..

Dating:

• Abby was the romantic and emotional type definitely

• She loved taking you to different restaurants, cities, and doing random things like laying on the grass at a park or something.

• Best thing about her was that she always, always brought you flowers or little flowers she picked from the grass outside your apartment, she was always super cute about dates.

• Sometimes a date would consist of doing all those things but also sitting around your place or hers while she teaches you how to draw.

•She loves spending time with you, but not in a clingy way, she just values you and your time together so much.

Affection/Sex

•abby was very…touchy

•She always leaves little kisses everywhere whenever she can.

•If she’s just going to the mailbox she wants a kiss…..

•Best thing about abby is her big arms which she loves to wrap around you when you guys cuddle. You feel so safe in her arms it’s almost scary

•She loves giving you forehead kisses while you two cuddle.

•Abby is the dominant one in bed

•She wants you to make eye contact while she gives you the best strap of your life.

•She didn’t need a strap tho…her hands and mouth always did the trick just fine 👌

• Abby. Loves. Eating. You. Out.

•Seriously

• She doesn’t care where or what she’s doing, eating u out is most definitely something on her mind.

•She loved being a lot bigger than u in bed as well. Its like she has so much control over you and your just so submissive and amazing.

•Both of you are loud asf

•Cursing, moaning, smacking- everything is loud and feels so good.

• Don’t even try to avoid cuddles, kisses and her fingers running through your hair right after sex, she won’t allow it. It’s a must for abby to take care of you right after.

• Sometimes you shower together

•Pure heaven in the bedroom really

Meeting each others families:

• Abby introduced her dad to you soon enough.

• He was playful, very empathetic and friendly. And you realize where she got it from.

• She included you in her fun events with her dad like visiting aquariums or museums or traveling.

• Her dad was an animal guy.

• She met your family as well and left an impact on them too.

•She was lovely and caring and showed her appreciation for them all the time.

•Would bring back food not only for you and her but for everyone in your family.

•She’s so sweet 🥲

•She was also very respectful around you and your family and respected any cultural differences or beliefs. She even tries reading about it herself.

• She encourages the people around you.

• Everyone thinks you guys are a perfect match. Marriage is definitely in the future.

•

•

The end 😳

A/n: Thx for reading!

Day 9 of Japan! (Still from last November, trying to finish before this years trip….)

More Tokyo

Slow start today with a cool bookstore and crosswinds, and then off to the best pizza in Tokyo. It was in fact as good as advertised. Followed by a cute little museum with great gardens filled with cute bridges. My bf plotted a route thru the gardens to go over all of the bridges becaus he knows I love them.

We then went to kawaii street to look at all of the cute things. I got the best earrings. We also enjoyed this over the top Dior set up near by.

And then it was off to Shibuya sky! We saw great views the sunset and took in Shibuya crossing, the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world.

We then got ikatori, or grilled meats and skewers and it was so delicious. I even liked the chicken tail and chicken hearts! I could do without the necks tho. And then on the way home I got this fabulous waffle with ice cream and chocolate panda

Over long travel diary

Day 9

Day 9

I get pastries with card

Lunch with card pizza

Dinner with card ikatori

Anthony puts 1500 on my ic card

I pay 1090 for panda waffle.

Honestly all I wanted all day was the panda waffle with cute little chocolate panda on top and I am so very pleased.

This was a bit of a haphazard day. We start slowly and head out to a bookstore and some French pastries, it’s supposedly one of the best bookstores in the world. I think it’s a nice book store. The croissants we got were very flaky. I think I don’t actually like good croissants because I don’t really love any crunch in my baked goods.

After we’re done at the book store we head over to a highly recommended pizza store that was featured on ugly delicious and has lots of reviews calling it the best pizza in the world. It doesn’t open until 11:30 but there is already a line at the door at 11. We walk around for a bit before getting in the line at like 11:15. The place is very small with a spiral staircase to go between the floors. We get seated on the third top floor at just about five minutes after elven thirty. The whole place is beetles themed and my boyfriend is so excited.

They only have a couple pizza types so we get a margarita and a Neapolitan. This is unexpectedly a place that makes everyone get a drink so I last minute pick a ginger ale to drink because it sounds the least unappetizing. It’s a little too gingery for me but is otherwise fine.

The pizzas tho are heavenly. I’ve never had such good pizza crust before in my life. I can’t decide which one I like better because whichever one I ate last was my favorite.

After lunch we head over to the next muesuem. The tickets are a little expensive for what it is I think at 2000 yen but it’s fine. They have some lovely gardens (with like eight tea houses scatter throughout) and some cute bridges. Because I like cute bridges my boyfriend charts a path through the winding gardens to go over every bridge. My hearts melts a little.

The galleries are cool with some very very old artifacts and scrolls but it’s a small muesuem with only six galleries. We finish up in about an hour and half.

Then we head over to japans famous kawaii street. It’s so cute but so overwhelming. All of the stores are filled with adorable precious things. There’s one just full of dog jackets for example. And many of cute clothes and trinkets which I love. A lot of them tho are vaguely lollita esque which I don’t love as much but to each their own. There’s also a fair number of animal stores like a hamster cafe and a dog cafe and an otter experience which make me sad because it’s hard to imagine that being a fun thing for those types of animals. We don’t go in any of them. There’s also a store just full of earrings which is honestly a dream. I didn’t bring any earring with me because I wanted to find some on the trip but there’s been basically none anywhere. Must not be much a tourist thing here or otherwise. But I get two really cute purple earrings, one a purple rainbow and the other a purple butterfly with a sparkle. They aren’t particularly Japanese but they are kawaii especially the rainbow ones and regardless will be a good momento that I will actually use.

I am very sad tho because we see the shop for a store that sells super fun animal shaped ice cream (gelato ) cones but they are closed. I am disappointed that I wasn’t able to get any fun shapes food on the street known for cute things.

After our shopping adventures we go to shibuya to go to shibuya sky. It’s one of the best viewing points in Tokyo. It’s 45 floors high. The first couple are a mall and then it’s all offices (imagine working at a major tourist spot like that) and then the top floor is a roof top view with giant glass wall fences. We go just before sunset so we can get daylight views, take in the sunset and then get night views. The views are spectacular although it’s a little too cloudy to see Fuji. There are photo queues at all of the corners with one of them being set up as the official photo spot with roped off queue and an official photographer. Maybe I just haven’t gone to enough popular tourist spots but I’ve never seen anything like it.

I get a couple good selfies and a get another couple to take a couple pictures of my boyfriend and I. He obliges.

It does get very windy and a little cold up there and I feel bad for the Instagram girlies dressed to the nines in their short skirts and skimpy dresses and heels.

I am sad to leave the views but it is so nice to be warm again.

We have a little bit of time before our dinner reservation so we walk around a bit and do the shibuya scramble, the busiest pedestrian crosswalk in the world. The selfies and video taking during the crossing is wild. Supposedly during rush hour over a thousand people will cross every light cycle.

And then we head off to dinner.

We get ikatori for dinner which is just grilled meats on skewers. They have a table fee so give you a snack (crackers and slightly herb butter) while you wait for the food to cook (it takes a while) we also get edamame and a rice dish so we don’t just eat meat. I also get a triple berry sochu that is so delicious I wish I got the large.

We get chicken and green onions, chicken thigh, chicken neck (way more delicious than I thought but also too much cartilage) chicken tail which was just straight delicious, and then chicken skin which I didn’t like and then chicken hearts which weirded me out but were actually delicious. The restaurant also had a “mackerel challenge” where you finish a whole mackerel (a normal amount of food) and then everyone cheers so there was also periodic cheering in the restaurant. It was a basement restaurant and had dive bar vibes with like high class dining. Some of the best food in Japan can be found in very low key places.

On our way home I stop at a food stand that sells panda egg waffles. It’s a waffle with big egg shaped puffs (instead of the grid but same vibe) wrapped into a cone shape and then filled with whipped cream. They have an option (for 300 yen ) to add a chocolate panda bear topping and I do and i am so very delighted to finally have my fun shaped food. The bear is just white chocolate but I love white chocolate so I am pleased. It’s rude to walk and eat in Japan so we stop and eat it on the side of the street and then take the bear back to the hotel in its cute little panda themed wrapper.

The area we are in is so overly panda themed, we think because it is very near to the zoo. The zoo has a set of panda twins that were born in 2021 so I think that’s why they are so insanely everywhere. Plus they’re cute.

things i did for school today

- we went to the national technical museum to learn more about cars and history of technology and it was AMAZING!!! there were so many great looking things in which i found inspiration and amazement at how they may have been perceived back in the day. i will definitely have to go there again to simply sit and draw all these amazing cars and planes!!!

- that’s all lol

selfcare moments

- i slept in and woke up at 10am (which was exactly what i needed)

- having an amazing lunch with my friends and then getting h|gh with them before going to the museum

- getting a pancake for dinner with my bf <3

what i’m grateful for

- my friends

- good food

QUIN

I’m glad you’re doing okay!! I would jokingly scold you to take care of yourself but I’m operating on 5 hours of sleep and I ate pretzel bites and cookie cake for lunch so like

I can’t even speak on that I’m not doing much better xD

I took today off to take my niece (she’s 1.5) to a children’s museum out of town. Her and my sister are visiting from Florida for a few weeks so we’re bonding and omg it was so much easier when she wasn’t mobile kids run so friggin fast spending like 5 hours at this children’s museum has solidly confirmed my decision to not have children. She’s stupid cute but it’s like free birth control hanging out with her. We’re gonna watch the Taylor Swift concert movie later tho, I gotta do my job as auntie and properly educate her xD

Rambling now about your work but I cannot accurately count how often I read magic trick

Like I always debate commenting every time bc I’m like this is not normal

That and that uh… hot spring Marco one I sent you once are my go to when I want to have some light birb reading before bed >>

Magic trick is just so good and everytime it makes me stupid giggle just thinking about HIM

Ugh the whole fire following scratches makes me feral like fuck dude you were brilliant for that

I also may have an Ace and Izou kitty coming and another Marco figure >> I need to STOP but I’m kind of burnt out and apparently retail therapy is needed T_T it’s whatever the blorbos will make it better and ive been buying some stuffs second hand so the price really isn’t a a concern

The burnout is also making my brain a little more extra frazzled so sorry this is all over the place xD

I hope you’re doing so much better after the extra sleep and hope you have a SUPER weekend >o<

\o/ This was good. There's not much for me to say, you gave me plenty of cool new knowledge, and I got some praise <3

I think Magic Trick was my first real Marco piece. I don't know that I even had an event piece for him before hand.

and now look where we are. XD

Thank you Kaz, and yeah, we both need to make sure we get a little extra shut eye.

Flat White: both?

Cappuccino: joy!

Mocha: author, performer/artist, funeral home director/graveyard worker

Pumpkin Spice: yellow VW bug w Daisy rims

Jasmine Tea: id go to Japan, because I've been obsessed w it my whole life, before I even knew about anime I was trying to learn Japanese on rosetta stone & buying books on the culture.

Old English: if I'm gonna die, my bf, so we can be together. If not, my arch nemesis, so when I get saved I can leave her to die :)

Iced Chocolate: aside from my boyfriend, only fictional characters and women catch my attention, but currently I don't have a y girls I like, atleast not any I talk to or anything. One of my HS crushes added me on fb recently, but other than that, no, not really, aside from my ongoing crushes on characters, like Snape and Kylo Ren lol

Mint Tea: my favorite ways to relax are by reading, listening to music, watching movies and TV, watching YouTube and playing video games, and giving myself a spa day or a little treat :)

Vanilla Latte: ive never personally tried it but this made me think, why not combine the two, lol. that sounds fun to me

Iced Coffee: yes! The Farthest Away Mountain by Lynne Reid Banks

Italian Soda: we start the date at a little mom & pops cafe in Old Town, and take a walk down Main Street afterwards, stopping in a few little shops along the way. Afterwards, we head to the art museum. for lunch, we have a picnic outside by the sculptures, & then go back in for a little bit. we then go to the botanical gardens and finish our date at a nice restaurant. When he takes me home, he surprises me with flowers & deserts, & we eat them & watch a movie until we fall asleep.

Sparkling Water: In a sense, I have physical "types", but I usually only worry about physical attraction after everything else, and I'll probably find someone physically attractive by default if I like their personality. A big one is if they treat me with more respect than anyone else, whether that's a man or a woman, because I date to marry & I'm not spending my life being treated the same or less than a stranger, that's so damaging to my self esteem. But also, someone who is usually kind to others, unless they don't deserve it. Someone who not only loves but is good with animals and children. Someone who knows when and when not to raise their voice with me & in general. Someone who also wants to be married and have kids. There are probably more I can't think of,but I'm already taken anyway so 😂

Orange Juice: the question is, have I ever NOT? (a few times, but mostly no[now I have a Forever Valentine tho])

Rose Hip Tea: I actually love telling this story way too much. I was with this guy I met at v stock in the mall playing Pokemon cards in a league. We were on the 2nd floor of the v stock, & there were these big windows w large ledges by the bookshelves, & I was leaning over it, propping myself up on my hands, & he came up from behind me & grabbed my chin & kissed me, not like a long kiss but not a peck or anything either. It was so romantic & then I got a nosebleed like an anime girl 😭😭😭 I broke up with him like a week later for getting a haircut 😭

Herbal Tea: Something that smells like the beach or the ocean

🚏 JAPAN - DAY 6 - TOKYO 🗾

Last day in Tokyo :( I’ll be sad to leave it!! Started the day off on such a great note at the studio ghibli museum. It was genuinely so beautiful and charming, I am so so happy we were able to get tickets! We watched the short film “the day I bought a star,” and even tho I can’t understand Japanese lol it was still soooo beautiful I loved it. Couldn’t take pictures inside the museum but just trust me it was gorgeous.

Had a little lunch at the cafe there, then worked our way to shimokitazawa to check out the vintage stores. Things were a little bit pricey and almost all American clothes, so we didn’t stay long lol.

Then went back to shibuya to do some more shopping. I have definitely learned that shopping for clothes here is really only successful at bigger stores (ex: Uniqlo), and not at the smaller stores/boutiques in malls, even though the clothes are gorgeous. I just feel like if you wear anything above a women’s size two or maybe four it’s just so hard to find clothes :/ multiple times while my mom and I were browsing today employees came up to us and told us there were no clothes in our size at the store… so that was.. not a super fun experience. So we left that mall after a few failed attempts smh. Instead went to more home goods stores and dollar stores and enjoyed that a lot more!

Ended with some fun cheap cocktails and a touristy conveyor-belt sushi dinner- but it was yummy so! No regrets.

All in, I absolutely have loved Tokyo. I’m excited to go to Kyoto and see what that’s like, but I really have enjoyed this city. I’ve always loved big cities, and Tokyo is definitely no exception. Very fast-paced and busy, but also so much to do and explore. Super yummy food, a great train system, and the people we’ve interacted with have mostly been sooo nice and helpful. I’m so happy that after years of planning for this trip I’ve finally had the chance to get here :)

[dickinfectionbez]

Ooh babes you good (I'm actually having fun) tho I'm really going to try and top whatever we have rn.

Wait wait we fight to pay over the cola slushie and I say that I should cause I asked you out so my treat but ik you're really stubborn (little did yk that I've actually liked you all along and have enacted this entire scheme so you'd go out with me ) and then you have like an angry teddy bear expression and a slight pout and then I suddenly scream that oh my god that's such a cute dog (fingers crossed you like dogs) and you turn around and then I quickly pay and then you turn back and glare at me and now my heart is in my throat because I don't know if that's an actual glare and you mad or you faking but then you smirk and smile and say you'll let this one go only because you like me so much.

I ask you favourite colour and you say you don't want to leave any out lest they feel bad and my heart grows more fonder towards you and I'm falling slowly but I'm sure as hell falling towards smth.

First I fuckin squeal about the fact that we both enjoy motor sports and then i say maverick and bez not a bad choice but my heart lies with the marquez Brothers and we discuss the merits of either of them and then agree to disagree. During all that I see how passionate you are and decide if you were leading smth I'd willingly following you for that cause.

I agree on jenson and lando but I'm a Carlos girlie always but I do have a soft spot for lando and jenson surprisingly and I really like seb and I'm willingly to be his mistress if things come down to it and you laugh at that cause my desperation for seb amuses you and I want to hear you laugh again and again so I keep making a fool of myself.

Nandos is where you'd lose me cause I really don't like eating there if I don't have to although I love chips with like chili's and vinegar on it but ultimately I tell you that I love sea food and would die for a paella anytime.

I'm so mesmerized by you that I don't even realise that you've brought me to the museum and you've been taking photos of me and I joke and say there was no need to come here to the museum the art was already next to me (cliche ik bear with me ) and you look at me with a twinkle in your eye and scoff my comment off (I'm actually a pyscho kind of need about museums and history and art and things ) and then I suddenly have such an intense bit of feelings rush inside me in that moment that it's difficult to breathe and then I realise that I really liked spending time with you.

And scene.

We still doing this right ? Or is it a bit lengthy and tiresome now ?

This is so cute wtf.

When you're not looking, too distracted by the cute dogs I slip a fiver into your pocket. You talk about Seb and being his mistress and I mention his actual mistresses, (Mark and Fernando). We talk about Carlando and the Singapore GP and the classic grid.

For lunch we grab some pastries from the supermarket and I let you pay, watching as you use the fiver note. We spend lunchtime outside in a park, no picnic blanket just out coats. Thankfully it's warmer than usual. We lie down on the ground watching the clouds and I turn to lie on my side and study your face.

Inside the museum, I point out the history of the paintings, arm around yours as we stare at the ancient jewelry, I spend most of my time showing you pieces I think would suit you best.

[moodywyrm]

[stardusthuntress]

You’re not invisible to me either. I know how hard it is to never be seen by the guys who’s attention you want. I’ve always been the third wheel, the one that stands next to the pretty one. I’ve never been the one guys notice. But I’m learning that’s a good thing. That the ones who go for the pretty girls are daft and oblivious and just looking for trophy wives want to spend the rest of their lives being his cleaning lady.

This is gonna sound like the stereotypical answer, I know, but hear me out: I have a feeling you may need a new group of friends. Friends who have other ways of having a good time. See if those friends who you enjoy but don’t hang out with very often maybe want to go to see a movie with you and then get dinner and talk about it for hours afterwards. Or if they want to accompany you to a board game lounge or put together a friend group who wants to play boardgames in the break room at the end of a long day of work. Or dnd! Figure I it when your local airshow is and see who wants to go with you to that. Or if there’s a planetarium or observatory or the local science museum! Post a pic of some upcoming event at one of those (they often have evening events for adults too), and ask different friends than your usual ones - maybe that nerdy guy people rarely talk to but everyone enjoys, or the other people from work who feel the same way. Spend a little extra time in the break room during lunch so that your lunchtime overlaps with at least one other person (might take a few days, that’s normal) and ask them how their family is doing (not them, we all know heading “I’m great” doesn’t help anyone, but their family probably has both ups and downs going on, and it can help to hear about someone else who is struggling too, no matter what the struggle is, even if aunt sally just got her hip replaced, hearing it helps because you know you’re not alone).

I’m still searching for more fun ways to hang out with friends too. So far I’ve only found 1 respite, and there’s only 3-4 people who enjoy it too. Board games. Surprised the hell outta me. I’ve never enjoyed board games, but it turned out I was just playing them with the wrong people. Took me a few years and a lotta tears tho (didn’t mean to make that rhyme, but I’m learning that can be a fun thing instead of a cringey thing, so imma leave the rhyme in there).

Go to the local Barnes and noble. Bring your laptop or a good book - I recommend the Giver if you haven’t read that one yet, or even if you have - and sit in the corner by the cafe. You don’t have to talk to anyone, just do something around good people. Maybe do it over lunch so you can grab a sandwich and some caffeine and keep reading. I promise it will help.

I used to be in the same shoes. One of my best friends was always the pretty one. Guys who come up to talk to her, and when she tried to bring me - the awkward, quiet, homely, nerd standing next to her - into the conversation I’d get a quick “oh, I guess your friend is nice too” comment, and their attention would be back on her. I’m not saying she was a bad friend. She tried. I still love her tons. But not hanging out with her every single day has really helped me. I found some coworkers I enjoy working with who taught me how fun board games can be with the right people. I’m going in circles now, because that’s like the extent of my social life. And I’ve been volunteering for outreach events at work! I think that counts! Getting to show kids the stuff I do is surprisingly fun. Far more fun than sitting alone with my computer actually doing the work anyways. And it makes me feel better about typing numbers into spreadsheets hour after hour. I thought I was invisible too, until the kiddos and the right coworkers showed me they cared and that there were other fun things that eventually stopped the inadequacies from taking up quite as much space at the Im forefront of my mind. It’s still there - I really really wish I could be one of the pretty girls - but I’m learning that the focus on the fun thing is actually making me more attractive than I had been before. Idk why or how - and I’m a scientist so I feel like I should have an answer to that, but I’m gonna let myself be ok with not having an answer - but I do know that those fun things are making a big difference. And the right friends. I was terrified of going to a board game lounge with my friends. Thought it was gonna be exactly the same as all the other times I’d been out and been the ignored friend, but it wasn’t! And now I wanna go back there. Something I never thought I’d say.

It’s the little things you just do because you can and your an adult now that make more difference than you think they ever will. Sometimes the thing your afraid of is still worth doing. My new friend group doesn’t push me if I don’t want to do a thing, they just say “ok, well if you change your mind you’re still welcome to join us” and they mean it. And it makes all the difference.

Maybe we should get a group together on here to do something fun? Even if it’s like we all just sit on zoom and silently write for an hour, or vent about how tired we are, at least we’d all be doing something with people with similar interests. Chatting about what stories each of us is writing could help us all feel better about having friends.l with similar interests. What do you think?

going out is getting harder and harder for me :(

all I’ve ever wanted is to be the girl guys want to come up and talk to. I want to be wanted. Everything I’ve done my whole life, all the growing up and changing and even feeling better about myself…it’s still the same result. I stand around and I feel ignored, isolated and unseen even while I’m surrounded by hundreds of people.

It makes me feel like no matter what I will always be invisible. And that’s why I never want to leave my house any more.

Sae if bts were to end up in jail who do you think would be the one becoming the boss in there, the boss’s right hand, the scared clueless one, the cop’s snitch, the one trying to escape, the one who keeps committing petty crimes just to get in jail because he’s made friends in there and the one who has already made jail his home

HAHA I LOVE THIS okay so:

the boss: seokjin

would trick all the big scary guys in the jail with multiple murder charges against them into thinking he has done some mad scary shit to end up in jail by feeding them tons of bullshit; is actually in bc of tax fraud

boss's right hand: yoongi

is in for helping seokjin cover his tax frauds; has no regrets tho; will provide all the back-up stories necessary for seokjin's bullshit tales, everyone assumes he's in for being a serial killer bc he's always either napping or humming to himself; but in reality he shares food with others as an act of service

the scared clueless one: hoseok

is actually scared of the germs in the prison, not the big bulky guys in there charged for murder, they all are actually whipped for hobi; jailed for screeching directly into a cop's ear and deafening him permanently; has drawn flowers on the jail wall with a sharpie someone smuggled in for him

the cop's snitch: namjoon

let's face it, joon's the biggest snitch to ever exist, so ofc it is him; used to work at a gas station (lmao); is very good at snitching, a bit too good, so good that he ends up blurting out that he's a snitch to the other guys in the jail; but they don't mind tho bc he has a cute smile :D

the one trying to escape: jungkook

jailed for boxing in public transport and dismantling a whole bus station pole(?? how??), is always tryna excape bc how dare someone cage him in?? RAGE; has tried to break out atleast 11 times, was successful 7 times, gets caught again each time bc he is always found snacking at some department store somewhere near the police station; is everyone's baby

the one who keeps committing petty crimes just to get in jail bc he had made friends in there: taehyung

friends as in jimin actually; once got jailed for finessing a museum curator into handing him all the van gogh paintings; ended up befriending all the jailmates, cops, janitors, detectives, the lunch lady in the cafeteria, all the jail mates' relatives; pulls shit like keying the cops cars, punching a teen, blasting music at 3am, etc just to get jailed again but the cops keep letting him leave bc they're tired of his shit

the one who has made the jail his home: jimin

let's be honest here, he got jailed bc he did smth like start a bar fight out of boredom; has no intention of leaving bc he's safer in jail than outside bc of all the ppl has conned out there lmfao; has all the comfy living arrangements in the lockup, even managed to somehow smuggle in an air purifier(??) don't ask how i don't know either

talking stage | bnha main three

pairing : todoroki x gn!reader, bakugo x gn!reader, deku x gn!reader

note : i cant differentiate between the talking stage and actual dating and i have no idea how long the talking stage should last so im relying on google

art credits: ひまおこ on medibang

what the talking stage is like with the boys

you would be the one initiating stuff the whole time. its not because he’s not interested in you, he very much is actually, he just doesn’t know what to do.

after maybe a week or two, he would start getting more comfortable and starting making a move. 

his main source of information is google, sometimes fuyumi. this means his actions are more generic i guess? its like they’re rehearsed.

but he’s trying his best !! he genuinely wants to date you !! 

the whole cluelessness thing would’ve been a turn off with other people, but not with him. it just makes him so much cuter <3

i think his favorite place to go to with you is the museum? i can see him wearing those cute fits, carrying a camera nd taking photos of you :D

DJHJSJS IMAGINIGN THIS MAKES MY HEART GO SJSDS I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

and he would totally help you with school work !! if you’re lazy, he’ll write notes just to share them with you. and if you struggle with homework or training, he’s always ready to help <3

the talking stage with todoroki would last for around a month.

i actually feel like he would be the one initiating stuff most of the time !

he would totally make you food like once or twice a week, usually lunch. he would even buy a cute lunchbox for you <3 

you once joked that he should make them cuter and more colorful like this

“hah?! what are you, a fucking toddler?”

but the next day, he gave you a bento with hello kitty rice balls and octopus-shaped sausages.

HE EVEN GAVE THE SAUSAGES FACES USING KETCHUP

“im only doing this so you would stop whining!” he says this with a huge blush on his face while scowling

of course, you decide to not bring up the fact that you caught him practicing how to shape the rice balls at like one in the morning

also the type to help you study and train !! though he would sometimes lose his patience, he makes sure not to blow up on you

he’s also very attentive, always making sure you’re alright during training. he sees you looking thirsty?? he’ll give you his water bottle right away! 

would walk with you to school and back to the dorms everyday

the talking stage would probably last for like one to two weeks because he’s way too good at making you fall for him

a whole mess ! you better be experienced cause he would always be so shy and flustered around you and it’ll be a mess if you were shy too

but he tries his best !! probably the sweetest one among the three

he’s always so nervous tho T_T like bro calm down no one’s gonna eat you

would ask his mom for advice

once gave you a bouquet for valentines and it was so awkward skjdhs he was just standing there frozen while the class stared at the both of you

you punched bakugo in the face after he laughed at him <3 poor boy’s just trying his best :(

like todoroki, he would take notes for you during class. he wouldn’t miss a single information, so you always get high marks in exams because his notes are so detailed!

i feel like he would totally enjoy picnic dates, he’ll even try to cook some of your favorite dishes ! and after that, maybe a walk in the park while you guys talk about random stuff <3

also very attentive i feel like all three of them are so he never misses important stuff like your birthday, favorite food, etc

talking stage would probably be around two to three weeks?

this was kinda messy im sorry D: nd idk if its obvious but i was running out of ideas while writing deku’s part

[shinisbestboy]

Hi!! How about Shin x fem!reader on a beach?

what a cute idea!! I definitely couldn't pass this one up :3!! purrfect for the summer too hehe. I'm not very experienced with writing but i really liked this one

ah the summer.. the perfect time of year to sit by the beach or swim to your heart's content! it was the first summer you get to spend with shin and finally, you two don't have to worry about anything getting in the way! no awkward third wheel or anything!

you thought shin would have been happier to go to the beach too!! except.. he had some complaints ".. the beach? are you sure? isn't it just sand, why would you want to see that?" he sighed "not very interested.. while we're here we really should check out this tech museum, it has air conditioning!" he chuckled tho the lazy comment didn't land as he intended

"oh come on shin! you don't really want to go see some boring displays of flimsy metal, do you?? what about getting that vitamin d!" you huffed.. sometimes shin really wasn't the outdoorsy person, he will crawl his way out of this if you don't stand your ground "h-hey! it's not *just* flimsy metal! it's a house of great respect for the many years of research and engineering by many man and woman who have slaved to--..and you don't care, do you?" he started to ramble but your irritated expression said it all "we can go after! besides.. you really are as pale as a ghost, the sun will do you some good!"

after quite a bit of back and forth, you both agreed on a schedule that both of you were happy with, today being the beach trip of course. shin went to getting ready, making double sure to pack all the necessary things for the day.. you had to watch him tho because he had has a bad habit of overpacking for every unlikely situation he can come up with. eventually, you make it to the public beach, it is just brimming with activity and joy! you already want to join in on the fun but shin insists that they make sure they have everything. the small little area is set up with beach umbrellas and towels, your bags of food and necessities sat at the side. it felt like the perfect opportunity to finally get some light onto your near vampire boyfriend! "hey shin, you should come swimming with me! I mean you do know how to swim, right?" you asked innocently, shin huffed "of course I can swim.. but the local website for this place mentioned jellyfish and I'm not a fan" he of course did all the research of finding the best place.. tho he was still such a stick in the mud. he even pulled out a book.. fully intending to sit here in the shade and read!!

"oh come on! you gotta live a little! you can't be stuck in your book all day!" you grabbed shin's hand and pulled him up from his spot, he dropped his book in the confusion as you nearly dragged him to the water "h-hey! wait [y/n]!!" he yelped but it was too late, you were already dragging him into the ocean "you water won't kill you, geez" you chuckle, letting go of shin as you were both knee-deep. shin is shaking and clenching to his scarf, the water is barely up to his shorts but it is cold and the waves were pushing him around. you excitedly splashed water at him.. which did not amuse him, he huffed and grabbed at his beanie "[Y/N] you are so mean" he pouted, blushing softly, you just giggle "oh I know you like it! don't act like such a baby"

shin found it in him to splash you back and you both had fun getting wet in the sea, other people definitely thought it was weird for shin to be wearing a beanie and fluffy scarf but shin always insisted on it so you didn't say anything. you late ate lunch and made sandcastles, you didn't have any tools or anything but the little hills with shells and seaweed were enough.

finally, it was time to leave.. you both were covered in sand and seawater but shin was smiling which was more than he usually was. it was nice.. seeing him open up a bit more, it made the day even more worth it. shin was sunburnt like a chicken nugget afterward which was hilarious in itself.. the one thing he forgot to bring was sunscreen of course, but the memory of this day will definitely stick with you for a long time

[aphrodite-would-be-proud]

i adore everything you write especially erwin like he’s my number one and u write him so well i keep coming back<3 would love to hear your thoughts on the different types of dates he would take you on :)) ty and i hope you’re well !!

Omfg I really needed to hear this today :( thank you so much💛 you're too kind.

Im so happy to hear that I'm write Erwin i a good way! I've actually been thinking about his character a lot! My Erwin posts actually get the least notes bc he's just underappricated, tho imma make sure to write him more from now on just for you 🥰

I actually really liked this request idea so imma split it in two part bc i don't wanna make a long post

Type of dates with Erwin PT.1 {pt.2 in masterlist}

{ Erwin x reader | tw: none | fluff, romance | modern }

{ "La Lettura" 1873 by Antonio Mancini 1852 - 1930 }

Ideal dates : these are dates he plans up ahead, makes sure they go smoothly and you're both are having fun. He really looks forward to these dates, they're like an event for him. He saves them up for important occasions like your anniversary, valentine's day, birthday, etc.

1. Romantic dinner by candle lights: he's a sucker for classics and romance cliches. Once a month or so, when you're both free. He'd make a reservation at a fancy restaurant, a secluded table with multiple candles and a nice view of the night sky waiting for you.

You'd both dress us, he'd be a gentleman all the way and open the doors for you, tell you how precious you look while kissing your hand. Maybe even a bouquet of fresh flowers if he's feeling extra.

The night would be spent quietly, talking while drinking wine as your food is getting ready. You two could talk together forever and not get bored, he also could listen to you talk about your passions all day.

At dessert time, he slowly falls in love with you again when you offer him a piece of yours, he'll gladly eat it off your fork. You hold hands under the table and he circles his thumb against yours.

When going home, he'd wrap his arm around your waist, your head on his shoulder. It's the perfect night.

2. Picnic near the lake at sunset, ends with stargazing: this usually takes place in spring or summer, maybe even autumn. When the weather is just perfect and the sky is just clear enough. You both prepare a basket before hand, he wears a light blue shirt to match his eyes.

You arrive around lunch time, having picked a nice place under a tree to shield you from the sun. The sound of children playing in the distance quieting down as time goes on. You both prepared each other's favourite food before hand.

It's around sunset when he wraps the blanket you bought with you around you, the wind having picked up. He kisses your forehead before pulling you closer to his side. You watch the sunset together as the ducks in the lake swim lazily around.

When it's completely dark, is when you finally lay down together, facing the sky. You point to a certain formation and he tangles his fingers with yours before guiding them to the next, he knows a lot about the stars. He shows you the fading ones who's only remains are ghosts of their pasts, he also shows you the newly formed ones who's light is just reaching us.

With your head on his chest, his calm deep voice talking about the stars and the warmth the blanket is offering, you fall asleep.

You wake up in the passenger seat on the ride home, glancing to the side you can see him driving with a smile on his face, he looks happy, relaxed even. You go back to sleep.

3. Going to see a musical together: it's one of the dates he really looks forward too, he's actually a huge musicals nerd but only his close friends know that. So what's better than mixing his favourite thing to watch with his favourite person? You!

He knows the tickets are expensive but he promises you it's worth the inconvenience, so you book two seats online.

When you arrive, you sit next to each other while the room is slowly getting filled. You can hear the actors getting ready off-stage but can't make out what they're saying. Erwin is next to you looking through the play flyer they gave and explaining the story to you.

That day, is the most day you've seen Erwin laugh from the depth of his heart. He'd look at you each time something really funny happens. Squeeze your hand a bit whenever an intense scene is happening. Bring your hand against his lips for a second when a romantic scene is happening.

He's just fully emerged into it. When you see the shine in his eyes, the way his lips curl up just a bit, is when you realise how beautiful Musicals are.

It becames a habit to visit one each year on his birthday.

4. Go to a museum or an art gallery: one thing you've learned from being with Erwin, is that he can turn the most boring things interesting. He just has a way with words and a matching deep voice to go with it, he could read the ingredients on the back of a shampoo bottle and you'd still listen.

Naturally, it was just a matter of time before one of you suggested visiting a museum. You pick a day when not a lot of people would be there.

He makes it fun, interesting and actually educational. You've been walking peacefully in long corridors with paintings and other forms of art displayed around each corner. He seems to have endless knowledge about each piece, telling you both a secret funny fact about it and a base knowledge.

The perfect tour guide, he encourages you to participate and even guess information based on the art and how it makes you feel. He smiles whenever you get something right and chuckles when you don't, it's a win-win situation.

5. Horseback riding: this one happens whenever you visit his parents who retired in the country side, they're really lovely people and seem to genuinely like you. Not to mention how Erwin just shows you off proudly to his parents like you're made out of pure gold.

It's a quiet small town that makes you forget about the city, the air is refreshing and the people are kind, the patries are delicious and the baker is kind. You two could get lost walking near fields of flowers for hours.

He assures you that you have all the time to try everything else, for now he's excited to show you something he's been doing since he was a kid.

The people at the stable seem to recognise him, even the horses are kinder to him than you. You're a bit jealous you won't lie, but he just guides through befriending a certain white horse with braids in it's hair. You even manage to feed them some sugar cubes.

You've underestimate just how tall a horse is, so now when faced with the option to ride on its back you almost back away. Meanwhile Erwin looks really natural and comfortable just getting on one, is this the same man who didn't know you could turn your phone screen sideways till you showed him?

So you end up sharing a horse, he wraps your hands around his waist and tells you to trust him, it will be okay. And just when a glimmer of hope rises in your heart that maybe this isn't as scary as you thought, that man somehow makes the horse go so fast it almost rivals the speed of sound, at least in your mind it did.

It's the most fun and adventures date so far, your heart is pumping by the end of the day as adrenaline runs through your veins. You're both panting and he seems like a kid on Christmas.

Thankfully his parents somehow foresaw this happening and prepared dinner for both of you while apologising for their son. Soon enough, they arm you with enough embarrassing childhood stories about Erwin for later use.

6. Visiting historical spots: it's something his father suggested to you both while you're getting the car ready to drive home. Soon enough you were discussing it while on the road and both of you seemed to be on-board.

It's an actually entirely different experience to see these places in person than in photos in school history books. Everything is so much bigger than you expected, so much older and all the details.

You can see all the different angles just by walking around, both of you seem to be entranced at just how strangely alluring it is to see this great build and know it's more than 500 years old, even Erwin seems to be lost for words for once.

The memories you made, the silly photos you took, the places you held hand and kissed in. It's all was just so lovely. And so it becomes a yearly tradition that you both save up for.

lost

sorry this is so long, i don’t know if it really makes sense but i was talking with him grandmother and she told me this story about how we went to the beach with the family and we went walking and it was late and high tide and we got absolutely completely lost and she didn’t speak great english and had no phone and we were just walking trying to find the hotel which all look the same while everyone was looking for us and that kinda inspired this story (lol sorry i feel like i do a lot of stories based on events that have happened to me so idk if that’s boring or not ill stop talking now tho)

Amelia quietly slipped out of bed once she realized her son was awake and babbling to himself, and she knew if she didn’t quickly attend to him, he’d start wailing causing the rest of the house to wake up. As much as she savored her sleep she enjoyed the early morning feeds, no one else was up, allowing her to be solely focused on her son. She quietly slipped out the back door to get settled on the lawn chair, and was startled when she saw Maureen, almost forgetting the two had come to visit.

“Good morning.” Maureen smiled, nursing her thermos of coffee.

“Morning.” Amelia reciprocated settling in the chair next to her.

“Hope you don’t mind I came back here. Eric is in a work call and I tend to distract him, and I just found myself out here.”

“No not at all.” The neurosurgeon responded truthfully as she guided her son to her breast, which he eagerly latched onto. “Thanks again for taking the kids for the day, it was much appreciated.”

“Of course. We had a great time with them.” The older woman smiled kindly, putting Amelia at ease. She tried so hard to make a good impression on her boyfriends parents and now felt at ease knowing they thought she was good enough for their son. “I don’t know how you and Link do it, especially in a pandemic. I mean you can’t take em to the park, museum, or anything.”

“Me either.” The woman absentmindedly chuckled, she was just taking it a day at a time. The women turned around once hearing the door open to reveal the oldest child.

“Auntie Amelia, I have a proposition for you.” Zola smiled as she walked further into the backyard still in her pajamas.

“A proposition huh?” The woman chuckled, it always impressed her when her niece would use a vocabulary word out of reach for a girl her age in the proper manner.

“Yep, I think we should not do school today, stay in our pjs, build a fort in the living room, and have a movie marathon.” The girl announced jumping on the balls of her feet, as much as Amelia wanted to oblige she knew she couldn’t.

“We can this weekend, but I’m sorry we can’t just not do school.”

“Ugh, but mom would let us.” This caused Amelia to laugh.

“We both know your mom would not in any capacity let you miss school if you weren’t sick.”

“It was worth a shot.” Zola shrugged.

“It was, but I’ll let you pick what we have for dinner tonight.”

“Pizza?”

“You’ve got it.”

“Do you think Link will still help me with my report.”

“I’m sure he’d love to, just let him sleep a bit more and once he wakes up ask him.” Zola nodded and ran back into the house, Amelia sighed in relief there wasn’t a tantrum.

“You’re good with kids, especially remediating a situation.” Maureen commented, admiring the younger woman more.

“I try.” Amelia chuckles, Maureen has only seen the kids well behaved and not in their tantrum state.

“So, I hate to be blunt, but my son doesn’t tell me a thing, are the two of you planning on getting married?”

“Oh, umm.” Amelia blushed awkwardly shifting her son. “Not at the moment, we’re going to wait until things calm down a bit.”

“As long as it’s in the cards.”

“I think it will be.” The neurosurgeon smiled, thinking about Links plans to get married in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

________________________________________

Bailey had an hour break before his next Zoom started up, so Link took the opportunity to take him out on their daily walk and get his energy out around the block while he tried to lull his son. This time though his father tagged along, he still had a lot of resentment towards his parents but was trying his best to be civil.

“That kid almost has as much energy as you did before..” Eric trailed off, but Link knew what he meant. Before his cancer tore his family apart, and made him a shell of the kid he was,but he was determined to only talk about the good things.

“Yeah he keeps Amelia and I on our toes.” Link quickly said, so no talk of his cancer came up.

“I know your upset with your mother and I, but we just want to help. And rebuild our family.” The ortho surgeon did his best to not roll his eyes at the statement, he couldn’t understand why they couldn’t have worked it out in the first place, why they decided to track along across multiple states during a global pandemic, and why they had to keep freaking his girlfriend out with the concept of marriage.

“I really don’t have the energy to talk about this right now, why don’t we just change the subject.” Before Eric could agree his sons phone started to ring. “Crap this is the hospital, I’ve gotta go in. Bailey! We gotta get home” He called up ahead to the boy who was scootering.

“It’s alright I’ll keep walking with them.”

“You sure?” The man asked wearily.

“Of course you know me I love a good walk.” He took the baby out of his sons arms and Link wrapped the baby snug across the older mans chest.

“Thanks dad!” He smiled as he jogged back to the house to grab his car and head to the hospital, while Eric caught up along side of Bailey as he turned another corner.

________________________________________

After Amelia finished helping Ellis with her math homework she realized it had been well over an hour since the boys had gone for their walk it typically lasted 40 minutes and the house was wearily quiet. She made her way downstairs to be met with Maureen folding the pile of laundry.

“Oh I’m sorry, you don’t have to do that.”

“Please, I don’t mind.”

“Do you know where the boys are?” Amelia asked feeling her anxiety start to rise as there was no indication of them being home.

“I assume they’re still walking, they haven’t walked in yet.” The neurosurgeon pulled out her phone and tapped on her boyfriends contact to be met with a scrub nurse who informed her, he was in fact scrubbing in on an emergency surgery.

“Link is at work.” Amelia informed Maureen rather confused, Link always told her before he left the house, but assumed he was so excited by the notion of a surgery and left the boys with his father.

“I’ll try Eric.” Once the older woman dialed the number they heard ringing coming from the coffee table where he left his phone. “I’m always telling him he needs to carry his phone around, he’s terrible with remembering it.” The woman huffed obviously starting to get a little startled.

“Okay.” Amelia took a deep breath. “I’m going to go look for them, would you mind staying with the girls?”

“Not at all.”

“Thanks.” Amelia quickly made her way towards the door and grabbed her keys from the hook, noting her boyfriend failed to bring the diaper bag as it was next to the door. Nonetheless she got into her car and tried the best to calm herself down, though all she could think about were worst case scenarios.

______________________________________

“Do you have any idea where we are?” Eric asked Bailey as he walked beside him, the boy had gotten tired and now just tracked the scooter along side them.

“No we usually don’t go this far.” Baileys fearless persona faltering, he assumed by this point he was late for class and was going to be in big trouble with his aunt and teacher.

“Everything kinda looks the same huh?”

“Yeah.” Bailey nodded nervously biting his nail, a habit he’d recently picked up from his aunt.

“Hey bud, it’s going to be fine we’ll find our way home.” Internally he was cursing himself for not bringing his phone along with him. After some more walking they found themselves on a street with convenience stores, Merediths house wasn’t far from the heart of Seattle but they were definitely far from where they were supposed to be. He was tempted to walk into a store and ask someone for directions but he didn’t have a mask and had two small children so that wasn’t an option. “Alright, let’s go back to that last street and make a left, maybe that right was a bad idea.”

“We’ll never get home.” Bailey said hopelessly.

“We will don’t worry about it.” And if things couldn’t get any worse the baby had started to fuss which in no time would turn into fill on crying.

Amelia slowly drove through the neighborhood looking for the three, not knowing she was on the opposite part of the neighborhood from them. Meanwhile after aimlessly walking and multiple turns Bailey started to recognize where they were and lead the way home.

“Where the hell have you been?” Maureen immediately asked as they walked through the door taking the now crying baby from her fiancé. “You need to have your phone on you!”

“Just strolling.” Eric responded nonchalantly.

“No we were lost. Really lost.” Bailey corrected as he ran into the kitchen to find something to eat since he missed lunch. Maureen followed taking out a bottle for Scout and calling her daughter in law informing her they were home, she heard a large sigh of relief through the other line.

Amelia happened to pull into the driveway the same time as Link, she wiped her stray tears as she had gotten herself into such a state and slammed her car door.

“Hey, where were you?” The ortho surgeon smiled brightly, he had just completed a rather simple surgery but just being in the OR at any capacity was heaven.

“Where was I? I don’t know, where was I?” Amelia chuckled on disbelief. “Where the hell were you? I spent two hours driving around trying to find your father and the boys.”

“What they never came home?” Link asked in a panic.

“They just did. They were lost and struggled to find their way home so they were aimlessly walking around while I aimlessly drove around in the wrong direction.”

“Damn it, how could my dad do this?” The man ran a stressed hand through his hair.

“This isn’t your dads fault it’s yours!”

“Huh?”

“Oh don’t act stupid. First you don’t even take the diaper bag in the walk with all the essentials and a first aid kit and then you up and leave for a surgery without even texting me.” The man was about to interject but Amelia held up her hand. “And you let your father continue the walk, even though the man has been to Seattle like two times and doesn’t know his way around.”

“I thought they were just gonna go the rest of the way up the block and back, and that he’d tell you where I went. That’s what Bailey and I do everyday.”

“Have you been living with Bailey for the past four months? Or has it just been me? Bailey will just keep riding that scooter no matter what and go any which way paying no attention to his surroundings, of course Eric is just gonna follow him around since it probably seemed he knew where he was going. You know what I can’t even look at you, I don’t want to say something I’m going to regret.” Amelia walked past him and quickly made her way into the house, to be met with her sons cries and quickly took the baby from Maureen cradling him closely, the baby immediately calming.

“I am so so sorry Amelia.” Eric apologized obviously upset.

“It’s not your fault.” Amelia forcefully smiled, she wasn’t entirely mad at him mostly at her boyfriend. Link then walked through the front door to be met with his mother scolding him.

“And what the hell were you thinking? Not telling anyone you were going to the hospital, and leaving your father with two kids in a place that’s foreign to him. Is surgery really all you can think about?” For the past couple of months he’d been complaining to his mother how much he hated not being able to operate.

“She would’ve done the same thing.” Link quickly pointed to his girlfriend who was cradling their son in the couch.

“What are we five?” Amelia asked when her boyfriend accused her in such a manner. “And I would’ve had the decency to tell you I was leaving and made sure you had the kids handled before I left.” Link backtracked and took a deep breath.

“Alright how about we just take a moment, they’ve been found so it’s fine.” The tired mother rolled her eyes and walked up the stairs with her baby, not in the mood for her boyfriends best case scenario talk.

“This could have been prevented by the both of you.” Maureen pointed to the two men who’s heads hung in shame.

“You should’ve made it clear to your father it was just up the block and back, and you should’ve texted the mother of your child.” She then directed her attention towards her husband. “And you need to pay more attention and keep your phone on you.”

“Sorry.” The two men answered in unison, ashamed to have messed up so greatly.

The rest of the night was foreignly quiet, Bailey was exhausted and the couple was avoiding one another. After everyone had dinner together Maureen and Eric retreated back to the RV and the kids were all tucked in their beds. Once Link walked into the bedroom after his shower he sighed realizing Amelia wasn’t there. He quietly trekked into the nursery to be met with Amelia asleep in the rocking chair and her hand inside the crib, their sons hand was loosely holding her index finger. He would’ve smiled at the sight of he didn’t know what she was doing, her plan was to sleep in here tonight to avoid having to be in the same bed as him. He carefully removed her hand and picked her up out of the chair.

“Nooo.” Amelia sleepily groaned. “I’m sleeping in here.”

“No you’re not, your going to sleep in our bed.” He softly affirmed as he laid her down on her side of the bed. Once he moved to the other side of the bed and got settled his girlfriend was now wide awake and turned to face him.

“What happened today can never ever happen again.”

“It won’t I promise.”

“You know we’re so good at communicating within our relationship but not so great outside of it.” Link chuckled nodding in agreement. “You need to tell me when you get called in, and you need to let others know what the plan is, so they’re not getting lost in Seattle woth two small children.”

“I promise.” Link grabbed her hand in a reassuring manner. “I am so so sorry for what happened today, I was just so excited to be operating and I just lost my mind and didn’t think about anything outside of that operation.”

“I know this is hard for you, your not used to kids in the capacity that I am. You didn’t grow up in a loud house and you don’t have a large quantity of nieces and nephews. Your used to dealing with the occasional peds patient for like twenty minutes. I’m not saying your bad with kids I mean the peds floor loves you, it’s just this is a lot really quickly and non stop.”

“Wow you just articulated how I feel perfectly and I haven’t been able to even form a cohesive thought of what Im feeling.”

“Hmm, maybe that’s because you just sleep so you don’t have to think about feelings.” Link chuckled, sliding over to kiss her sweetly.

“I love you.” Link affirmed. “And I’m so sorry about today.”

“Tomorrow will be better.” Amelia agreed. “And I love you even more.”

“Impossible.”
