#makes me wonder how'd Mikey keep his

[dnpanimationstudioclone]

realized something lately about Xever. Based on what Ive read from wiki, what happened in the show and in some comic, New Animated Adventures issue 5

Read Xever was abandoned by his parents, not sure if it’s canon but it’s implied he pretty much was surviving on the streets, fending for himself.

His oldest friend Vitor and partner in crime that he grew up with ratted him out and left him to rot in prison

Is constantly at threat by Shredder and the Foot of being disposed of.

Mondo Gecko, who’s parents casted him away after he became a mutant and Xever took in as one of his most trusted errand boys, ends up teaming up with his enemies against him

…This fish man’s likely got some abandonment issues. If they wanted to get deeper with him, imagine if they had Xever show genuinely close with Mondo maybe seeing a bit of himself in him, maybe have Mondo stick with him for a little while longer until realizing what they’re doing isn’t right and make the turn more emotional. Ngl he seemed pretty angry when Mondo turned, imagine if it was portrayed as him honestly caring for Mondo and hurt losing him too.

Imagine if Xever got exposed to the fear fungus and it showed his worst fears being left all alone, no one caring when he's gone💔

Xever-FINE! SEE IF I CARE! I don’t need you I NEVER needed you, I don’t need ANYONE….you all just bail eventually💔….So why do I keep trying?

I think it could been cool if they played more sympathetic parts of Xever, show deep down in that ruthless violent criminal ready to crack skulls is actually a very lonely and broken soul who just needed someone to care💔

Xever-HAVENT YOU TARTARUGAS TAKEN ENOUGH FROM ME!? Couldnt you let me have atleast one person that cared about me!?

Mikey-You made Mondo think it was everyone for themselves, that no one else cared!

Xever-Thats what it's always been like for ME!

Xever-Sometimes I wonder if Vitor was right. Maybe people can only put up with me for so long. Maybe I’m just that too much to handle caring about💔

Raph who often feels his anger issues seperate him from his family and that they’ll get tired of him and want him out-…

Me and @theartofeverything have been talking about Xever and Bradford becoming a thing and him helping Xever see he's not going to be abandoned by everyone in his life and Xever helps Bradford see he's still important even if not to Shredder anymore, helping each other show they're deserving of love♥️♥️♥️

What do u think? How'd you want to write Xever? I'd love to know💖

Chapter Thirteen

The Tea

Pairing: Hanma x Fem!Reader

previous | next | unholy matrimony masterlist

The next afternoon you leave your house to meet up with Baji for lunch. However, you're a bit concerned- you've never met this guy before so how are you even supposed to know who he-

Just as you walk into the café where you're supposed to meet Baji, you find a man with long black hair yelling at the barista from the counter. He then turns around to stomp out of the building while caring two foam cups, ignoring all the other customers who turned their attention to him. That is, until he spots you and stops dead in his tracks. You groan to yourself as realization hits you. You can't believe that this is who you have to deal with.

"Y/N?" he asks.

You look around at the people in the café whose attentions are all turned to you as though they're invested in your answer. You laugh awkwardly as you're forced to answer.

"Uhh, yeah..."

With a bit of a frown still on his face, he holds out one of the foam cups out to you. "It's tea," he explains almost angrily. "Black."

You do your best to take a deep breath and keep it together as you face this stranger. With a fake smile, you thank him, but you're insides scream seriously?! Black tea?! However, it is nice that he did that for you. And it seems like he went out of his way considering that it was something to get all worked up and angry over.

But then, Baji begins to walk away from you without another word. He heads towards the opposite side of the café with a few empty tables and you're forced to follow after him. In the end, the two of you sit down in the corner of the space.

"So what was the deal with that barista?" you ask hopefully as you take your seat.

"Two cups of black tea shouldn't be seven hundred freaking yen!" he grumbles angrily.

"That's- Were you really yelling about that when I walked in?!" you ask a bit disappointedly.

"Do we need to keep talking about this? It's kind of a sore subject, you know!"

You nod as you try to hold in an eye roll and instead take a small sip from your burning hot tea. He wasn't kidding, it's black tea alright- absolutely no sugar, honey, milk, or anything!

"What do you want to talk about then?" you ask him as you swallow down the somewhat malty-tasting drink he's given you.

"What we came here for," he says quite honestly. "Listen, Toman's having a dinner for some sudden new alliance with the Akashi clan. It's probably due to whatever the hell you idiots did to their casino the other night. I'm pretty sure they're pissed!"

Okay, ignoring that he just called me an idiot... He's probably right. They're both pissed off at Hanma which is why they're joining forces.

"How come Hanma doesn't know about this? He is still part of Toman after all," you ask a bit confusedly.

Baji shrugs as he takes a large sip of tea. "I don't think anyone from his division was invited to the dinner. Our treasurer has made Mikey suspicious about Kisaki and Hanma lately. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew about Otsuda, too."

"Goddammit," you grumble. "Well, what should I do to help?"

"I was thinking that since Mikey's never met you, I could bring you along with me to the dinner. We can find out their next move before we make ours."

"What about your plan?" you wonder.

"Plans change. That can be our backup if we need it."

"Sure," you nod, thinking that his plan to infiltrate the Toman/ Akashi meeting isn't a half-bad idea.

After your lunch date, you walk into Hanma's office with a cup of cold, black tea in your hand that you place down on his desk before sinking down into a chair until all your husband can see is the top of your head.

"Ugh," you groan as you completely collapse into place.

Hanma grins when he sees you. "Hey, babe, how'd it go?"

"Terrible," you whine. "This is a total setup. Something's off about this entire thing but it could prove to be beneficial if it's not... I don't know what to do..."

"Do you feel safe around him?" he asks. "I could have Chikao tail the two of you from a distance if it would make you feel better."

"No, no," you respond as you wave your hand in dismissal of the idea. "I'll be fine. Don't worry Chikao about this."

Besides, he's already busy watching out for Kazutora.

"Okay, well if you need anything I'm only a phone call or a text away," he nods.

"I know," you mumble as you sit up a bit more in the chair. "I got it."

"Now, what the hell is up with this half-filled cup of... tea?" he asks as he lifts up the foam cup.

"It's black tea and I can't drink it. Baji bought it and complained about the price so I didn't have the guts to just throw it out without finishing it. I thought that since you like black tea, maybe you would want it... or throw it out for me," you smile sheepishly.

Hanma chuckles as he takes the lid off the top of the cup and raises it to his lips.

"This is ice cold!" he says after consuming the tiniest sip.

"Yeah, well don't blame me," you sigh. "It's not my fault that Baji talks so damn much!"

"It's fine," he smiles. "I appreciate the thought, princess."

To The Vows You Take - Chapter 6

(This is the longest chapter in the whole story, enjoy!)

Chapter 5

"About time you got here," Ray snarked when (YN) and Frank finally boarded the bus in Washington. "Why'd you guys have to change your flight?"

“We had to go to Vegas,” (YN) replied simply as she started unpacking some of her things into her bunk. She was trying to suppress the smile that was fighting to form on her face.

“What? To get married or something?” Gerard laughed.

“Yea,” Frank replied with a shrug. 

(YN) glanced over at Ray and Gerard, who were stunned into silence for a moment. They looked at each other, then back at their bandmates.

“You guys were dating?!” Gerard asked, totally astonished. "How did we not notice?! Why didn’t you say anything?!"

“I knew something was going on!” Ray exclaimed. "They've been acting different all year! I knew it!"

“Nope, we weren't dating,” (YN) answered.

Gerard’s eyes went wide. “(YN), are you, you're not pre-”

“No! Oh my god, no!” She rolled her eyes. “Me and Frank agreed in high school that if we weren’t married by 25, we’d marry each other.”

“Well shit, congratulations! We gotta celebrate, right?” Ray asked, getting excited.

“Hell yea!” Frank chimed in. “You guys buy the champagne!”

“Do you wanna announce it at the show tonight?” Gerard asked.

“No!” (YN) was quick to reply. “It’s just that we haven’t told our families yet. We don't wanna have them find out through the press.”

Gerard nodded. "Ok, but wow, I still can’t believe you guys eloped!"

"Believe it, baby," Frank said, patting Gerard on the cheek as he walked by.

~

“Ok, ready to call your mom?” Frank asked.

“No,” (YN) deadpanned.

“Better now than waiting any later,” he replied. It had been about a week since they had tied the knot and (YN) had been putting off calling her mom as long as possible. It wasn’t that she was ashamed of what they’d done, she just knew how her mom would react.

Frank pushed the call button on the phone in front of them and (YN) hoped it would just go to voicemail.

“Hello?” (YN)’s mom’s voice came through the speaker of the phone.

“Hey mom,” (YN) started wearily.

“Hi sweetie, what’s going on? I’m at the grocery store.”

(YN) winced and Frank had to stifle a giggle. “Umm, by any chance do you remember back when I was home for Christmas and that letter came that I wrote to myself?”

“Yes, vaguely.”

“Do you remember the one thing I said I hadn’t done?”

“No, off the top of my head I can’t say that I do.”

“Umm, well I’ve got you on speaker phone because Frank is here too and I called to tell you we went through with our pact to get married.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t think I heard you, it’s loud in here, you did what?”

“Me and Frank got married in Vegas,” (YN) practically shouted. Frank was hiding his face to control his laughter and (YN) reached over and smacked his arm.

“What?!” In the background it sounded like glass breaking. “And you didn’t even call to tell me?!”

“I mean, I told you when I read the letter,” (YN) rubbed her eyes.

“Not that you were gonna go through with marrying Frankie! Oh, is Frankie there now?”

“Yea, hi Ms. (YLN),” he replied.

“Hi sweetie! Congratulations and welcome to the family!”

(YN) looked at Frank, jaw dropped, as he practically gloated. “Thank you Ms. (YLN).”

“(YN) I can’t believe you wouldn’t tell me until after the fact!”

“We didn’t tell anyone, not even the other guys!” (YN) argued. "It's not eloping if everyone knows!"

“Well, have you told Frankie’s parents yet?”

“No, you’re our first call” (YN) replied, rolling her eyes.

“Ok good. Oh, goodness I didn’t even notice I dropped the jar of pickles, I’ve got to go, I want more details later, buh-bye.”

“Bye,” (YN) said, hanging up. "Yea it's a good thing we didn't tell her we called your mom first, she woulda lost it. Are you gonna call your dad?"

"Yea," he replied, already pulling up the contact info on his phone. 

"K, I'm gonna go grab some coffee," she said, getting up.

"How'd your mom react?" Gerard asked, looking up when (YN) walked in.

"She dropped a jar of pickles in the middle of the grocery store," (YN) sighed as she poured a mug of coffee.

Gerard chuckled. "Are you done?"

"No, Frank's calling his dad right now."

"That will go well," Gerard nodded reassuringly. 

"Yea, I think you’re right," she nodded as she made her way to the back of the bus where they'd been making the calls in privacy.

"So you finally told her-"

"Dad, hang on," Frank interrupted and (YN) gave Frank a confused look as she walked in. "Umm, no, but don't worry about it. Actually (YN) just walked in."

"Hi, Mr Iero," she greeted him brightly.

"I'm glad you're sticking together. Ever since you were kids, you two have been a team. That's what you want in life,  someone who is on your team. Friendship should come first, all that romance bullshit can come later on."

(YN) and Frank laughed, but when she glanced over at him, she saw he was looking at her. She smiled and looked away, realizing how much she was suddenly blushing. That was the problem. She could no longer deny the fact that she wanted the romantic bullshit with Frank. Her stomach did flips when he would look at her from across the room, his smile made her weak in the knees. She’d fallen for him completely, and she didn’t know what to do.

~

Frank had just taken a drag off his cigarette when a black SUV pulled up in the parking lot where their tour bus was parked. At long last, Mikey was back. He hopped up off the curb he was sitting on and warmly welcomed his friend with a hug. "Welcome back, man!"

"Hey! And congrats! I take a couple months off and half the band gets married?" Mikey laughed as he stored one of his bags in the compartment under the bus.

"That’s what happens when you’re not here to supervise us,” Frank laughed. “Did you know me and (YN) had originally planned to elope the day you and Alicia got married?"

"Seriously?" Mikey seemed genuinely shocked as they returned to the spot on the curb where Frank had been sitting. It was the only shade in sight.

"Yep."

“Where is she, by the way?” 

“On the phone with our realtor, we’re gonna see some houses when we’re back in Jersey before we head over to Europe.”

“Damn, you are serious about this.”

“As serious as a goddamn heart attack.”

“Wait, so how did all this happen again?”

“We made this pact in high school, we’d get married if we were still single at 25. And the chance to spend my life with (YN)? I’m not gonna pass that up.”

“You have feelings for her?”

“I’m surprised I’ve hid them this well for so long.”

“Shit,” Mikey muttered, taking the almost spent cigarette out of Frank’s hands and taking a drag himself. “So it’s happily ever after.”

“Not until I work up the nerve to tell her.”

Mikey coughed, Frank’s words taking him by surprise. “Wait, you haven’t told her?!”

Frank let his head hang. “Oh so you've been married like three months longer than me, and now you know it all? Just keep it between us ok?”

“Yea, yea I can, but you should tell her. She’s your wife.”

Frank couldn’t help the smile that formed across his face upon hearing those words. “Yea. I just gotta figure out the right time.”

~

(YN) had just finished applying her stage makeup when the door to the green room opened. She was surprised that it was only Mikey coming in, and no one else was with him. 

“Hey,” she said, glancing over at him. “Where’s everyone else?”

“Got pulled into an interview,” he answered, coming to stand behind her, checking his hair in the mirror.

“Ah yes, the joys of not being a guitarist or singer,” she smirked.

“I know right?” He laughed before flopping down on the couch. “So congrats.”

“Thanks,” she laughed lightly, shaking her head. “It’s crazy, right?”

“Why?”

"Because I saw 'My Best Friend's Wedding' at an impressionable age, and now I’m married to my bandmate.”

"What's wrong with that?"

(YN) sighed and shook her head. “Promise not to tell?”

Mikey sat up and nodded. “Of course.”

"It’s a problem because I realized that I've fallen in love with Frank and can't tell him because it'll ruin our marriage,” she explained and Mikey let out a laugh. “It’s absurd right?”

"You gotta tell him, (YN)."

(YN) just groaned in response. “But what if it fucks everything up?”

Mikey sighed. "You should be honest with the people you love," he replied. "Especially when it's about how you feel."

(YN) nodded silently.

“So... have you guys hooked up.”

“Mikey!"

"I’m just trying to lighten the mood!” He said defensively. “And I take your reaction as a yes."

(YN) smirked. "Fine, you wanna know? There was one time we did a long time ago."

“Wait, when?!”

“You probably don’t remember, but a long long time ago, I’m talking back in the van days, we were actually staying in a hotel for once. You, Gee, Ray, and Brian all went out, but me and Frank stayed back.”

“Oh yea! We were wondering if something happened that night,” Mikey laughed.

“Yep,” she said, getting up from her chair and starting to make her way toward the door. “And it was in the bed you and Ray shared that night! Bye!”

“Ew! What the fuck (YN)?!” Mikey shouted, as she ran out of the room, laughing evilly.
