VENTURE NATION I COME BEARING OFFERINGS

Working for the Wayfinders Society leaves Sloan with the dilemma of messy nails, which reader works so hard on perfecting for their big day..

I wrote this at 1 am so pardon any spelling mistakes and enjoy the new Venture crumbs!!

*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻ੈ*✩‧₊˚

"Stay still! I won't be able to get it on properly otherwise." Sloan was especially fidgety today, glancing over at the clock and at the calendar that hung slightly lopsided in the kitchenette. "Sorry pebble, It's just today is THE day! How can I keep still!" You were acutely aware of the day Sloan was talking about, they had been talking about it for about 3 weeks now. You sighed as you applied the final coat of clear polish onto their nails listening to them go over the story of how they waited and waited and now the day was finally here. "I mean, how can I not be excited!? My team is finally visiting Göbekli Tepe! Only teams of 4-5 were allowed there every year and now.." you were smiling at Sloan, pure love smeared across your expression. Though, it was quickly wiped away when they scooped you up into a vice grip they called a hug. ".. I'm finally going!! Aw man I can't wait!" They were practically bouncing off of the walls as they waited for the transportation to take them all the way to the barely excavated site. All the meanwhile you were delicately putting away the nail polish and decorative stickers while Sloan rambled on and on about this once in a lifetime expedition. "It was discovered in 1963 but wasn't excavated till 1993! Teams stopped going to preserve its core history but now after so long it's finally open to us! And the Wayfinders are the first to touch its grounds in years!!" You listened with a proud smile on your face, you could listen to your love for hours, late into the night, early in the morning, or all afternoon. You loved Sloan and it honestly hurt when they had to leave. But, they had been looking forward to this for years, and you were more than happy to see them off.

. . .

"Got everything? Goggles, boots, cell phone, backup cell-" "Amor! I've got everything, but I've gotta get going." you frowned just a little, you honestly wanted to go with them, however, because you weren't a member of the Wayfinders society you couldn't go with or on certain sites with Sloan. "Promise I'll call you as soon as I get to the living quarters and I'll take plenty of photos.. If I get permission." You loved that goofball dearly, anything they did made your stomach fill with butterflies. "And besides, If I miss you, I'll just take a look at the masterpieces on my hands!" That made you smile, compliments from Sloan and actions like that would prove they'd go to great lengths to do just about anything to make you happy. That sweet moment had to come to an end soon and with a kiss that felt like saying goodbye to a lover going to war, Sloan was in the car and off to the site. And almost in an instant after the car pulled off, you missed them. Man, these were going to be a long 3 days.

. . .

"Mi Vida! Mi Amor! Ven Mira!!" not even a second into the apartment and sloan was barreling through the door covered in dust and dirt from the site, not even bothering to clean off their coat as they stumbled into the kitchen where they found you. "While I was searching an area in the site, I found something that dated back nearly 200 years! This was the biggest discovery in ages!" You gasped and threw yourself into Sloan's arms, praising them telling them how happy you were for them to be back. "Look look! The discovery made the paper and news! They didn't let me keep the artifact but I was on the front cover of the paper! How cool is that!?" You were beaming so hard, proud of them, their discovery, and their return, you stared at the paper thrust into your face and read about three words before noting your lover's hands, covered in dirt.. And nail polish chipped. "Sloan. I'm so incredibly happy and proud for you but.. I need to fix these.. " They pulled a hand to their face and chuckled sheepishly, scratching the back of their head. "Yeah, guess the artifact and my nails have one thing in common." you tilted your head quizzically. "And what's that?" "We both didn't come up in pristine condition!" Oh how you loved your goofball.

amor eterno [parte 2]

(miguel and platonic!reader)

(spanglish speaking mexican reader/female reader/not proofread/description of character death)

(you are Miguel's biological daughter in a different universe and you had to watch your father pass and get buried in your younger years.

you, now an older teenager, have been mastering your spider powers to help the city and your community till all of a sudden you get sucked into another universe where... you see your father again.)

you've been with the spider-society for a few months now and you hoped that you at least for sure proved your potential to the 2099 Spider-Man. you were given an official watch and ditching the one-day bracelets once and for all. funny enough the same mission that was given to Gwen and Hobie when you were basically pushed away by Miguel the first time was also the same mission where you were able to prove yourself to Miguel and his right hand woman, Jessica Drew, in joining the Spider-Society since Gwen and Hobie were in a really tight spot to the point where they had to call for backup, but luckily you sneaked in with them and it lead you to eventually prove yourself to Miguel and in the end you are now here!

when you got home of course you told Peter everything.. literally everything! he wasn't sure if to believe you at first but considering how his own adoptive sister(a.k.a you, duh) is a friendly neighborhood spider-person vigilante that has an extra sense and can shoot webs out of her wrists with the extra talent of being able to climb ceilings and walls??-- then yea he totally believed you in the end. although the weeks after that he always put a little more attention to you than usual, even if you never noticed it, since Peter knew that anything relating to your late-father was a touchy subject. and he understood you completely yet he wanted to make sure you'd stay in check.

in this present moment in time you are currently on the top of the Spider-Society HQ after an intense solo mission, currently having a lunch you saved that your sweet Tia May made you for your usual "after school activities", you continued on with the same ritual which was having the photo of you and your dad leaning on a surface while you eat, drink, and talk with the photo of him. today you decided to add a little touch to this usual routine which was to use your phone to play a song you've had since you could remember.

after you set everything up and hit play you immediately opened up your lunch for today and started munching with a small smile on your face while humming along with the melody before you started your conversations with the photo.

"hola papi!, I hope you're doing alright where you are. I put our favorite song today, Amor Eterno remember? we always sang the one sung by Rocío Dúrcal so... here it is, playing just for you." you let out a deep sigh before you began eating and soon enough continued the one-sided conversation even as the song was starting to sing it's beautiful lyrics.

"Tú eres la tristeza, ay, de mis ojos.."

"Que lloran en silencio por tu amor.."

"well.. there were basically almost no other broncas today other than the usual anomaly chase. and no im not hurt, I may or may not have a few cuts but that's something some two inch bandages can easily fix." you giggled a bit before you took a bit of silence to continue eating and drinking your favorite refreshment. you stared out into the night sky, stars shining bright and vibrant while twinkling as you were inspecting this futuristic and bright world with awe. your meal was gone just as fast as you first opened it and so did your drink. for the next few seconds you just looked out at the sky, knees up to your chest and your head resting on top of your knees.

everyone from the society right now were either at home in their universes or finishing up any work inside the HQ before running back to their beds. as much as you wanted to run back home into the arms of your family and take a good night's rest too you couldn't help but to also feel as if right now all you needed was just to eat and breathe, to live a little in the smallest way possible.

you mumbled the lyrics of the song playing softly in the background, this song made you tear up every time. after all the song's meaning and every word being sung has been engraved into your bones since the day your dad introduced it to you. you knew this song just as well as you knew the back of your hand.

"Cómo quisiera, ay.." "Que tú vivieras..." "Que tus ojitos jamás se hubieran.." "Cerrado nunca y estar mirándolos."

you sang along with the lyrics even as you felt your voice box start to quiver and eyes threatening to start bawling again.

"Amor eterno," "E inolvidable," "Tarde o temprano estaré contigo," "Para seguir amándonos.."

all you could think about was your dad singing you to sleep with a smile on his face, even when he was tired from work or was busy that night he always made sure to at least softly sing you a lullaby in your mother tongue to get you to fall asleep.

after you sang the last verse you couldn't help but to just let the song keep going, intending to just let the beautiful voice of the woman guide you through your past memories instead of singing them yourself. it's not like the tears running down your face and the itch in your throat let you anyway.

the thing was.. that a somber yet deep male voice picked up where you left off. the voice didn't full on sing it was really more of a mix of both mumbling under their breath and audibly singing.

"Yo he sufrido tanto por tu ausencia," "Desde ese día hasta hoy no soy feliz."

well whatever way they sang, you didn't really care.. you only cared about the fact that all you could hear was your dad again, singing beside you as he used to always do.

" 'apa??..." you scrambled back to get back on your feet and face the voice behind you. and you were right, it was your dad but-- it also wasn't.

Miguel O'hara of 2099 continued to mumble the rest even if you now have both eyes and ears on him now.

"Y aunque tengo tranquila mi conciencia," Sé que pude haber yo hecho.. más por ti.."

There was a pause until you finally had a courage to break it "it's you.."

"it's me." the man added, looking down at your phone that kept playing the music. gaze still cold and hard yet there was a touch of familiarity and maybe even gentleness on his face "did your father show you that song?"

you nodded slowly, "yes, he did." you then started cleaning up and picking up any trash you have left over, even putting the photo of you and your dad back into your spider-suit. "he sang it to put me to sleep every night. now I sing it to him for him to rest easy."

he simply hummed in reply as he continued to mumble the ongoing lyrics under his breath.

"you seem to know the song pretty well. in your world did.. you sing it to your daughter too?" you asked with a cautious look on your face, unsure if you're allowed to ask personal questions to your boss since any time you've seen fellow spiders try to ask him about anything personal he'd either ignore, shrug them off, or even snap at them a bit. yet the question really just.. kinda slipped out.

"yes, yes I did." his response was simply short and brief "I sang her many songs that I know by heart."

"...ever taught her any sports?.."

"I used to take my daughter to her soccer games every weekend."

"and--"

"and that's all I'm willing to say." Miguel tried to end the mini interrogation with that one phrase.

but you were persistent, like him.

"and if there was a chance to bring her back.. any chance at all with no consequence and with no worlds ending-- would you try to?" you looked up at him, hoping that he'd perhaps agree.

it took a bit for him to respond but he eventually did "of course I would."

you smiled a bit, feeling a sense of achievement that you and Miguel were able to at least agree on one thing: that if there was a chance, with no consequences, you both would in fact save those closest to you. just knowing this made you feel as if you have a connection of sorts now. you then were getting ready to pick up your phone as the song was already nearing it's end until Miguel had a few questions of his own.

"your.. father.. when he died. who did you stay with?" 2099 asked bluntly as you then retreated your hand from your device.

"well.. when my dad died I was taken in and adopted by mi Tia May y su sobrino, Peter Parker. she continued where he left off in raising me in gratitude for my dad who always helped her out every time when she needed something whether it was big or not." you took a pause to deeply inhale and exhale as you smiled faintly, pulling out the photo again of that sunny day with your old man catching butterflies.

"..me recuerdo el moment cuando mi papa ganó la pelea con el raterro y el lo paro.. pero le costo su vida. y.. y yo corri a mi papa, yo con mis manitas chiquitas tratando de ayudarlo pero el solo se quedo sangrando mas y mas.. y..pues mi papi fallecio enfrente de mi." your voice quivered but at the same time it sounded as if you recounted this moment over and over again before. "yes I did in fact take lots of therapy.. still do." you then just quickly shook your head and rubbed your eyes in embarrassment as to wipe away your upcoming tears from spilling again. "anyway I'll be taking my leave, señor O'hara.." you picked up your phone that has now been off for awhile now before you gave a small nod of respect towards him "you're a good man, I'm sure your daughter was happy to have a father like you." you shined a small smile before you turned to walk away to go back to head back to your world.

"_____." he called out, to which you turned to face him with that smile still slapped onto your face. "I'm sure your.. father.. would be proud to see how you've grown and who you have become." and for the first time ever, you could swear you saw the very tips of his mouth turn upwards ever so slightly.

you gave him a nod and a confident smile "muchísimas gracias, señor." and just like that you swinged off to go back home for a well deserved sleep.

Miguel went back to facing the view of the rest of Nueva York with the very faint smile now growing into a normal small one. he looked up at the sky as he mumbled to himself,

"she shares your smile, Gabi.." he paused "you both share.. my.. smile."

(hope this one is good! next chapter I'll try my best to include more father/daughter moments with the reader and Miguel! hope this sufficed tho<3)

GJ and ZZH Updates — January 22-28

<<< previous week || all posts || following week >>>

This is part of a weekly series collecting updates from and relating to Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan.

This post is not wholly comprehensive and is intended as an overview, links provided lead to further details. Dates are in accordance with China Standard Time, the organization is chronological. My own biases on some things are reflected here. Anything I include that is not concretely known is indicated as such, and you’re welcome to do your own research and draw your own conclusions as you see fit. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or additions. :)

[Glossary of names and terms] [Masterlist of my posts about the situation with Zhang Zhehan]

01-22 → Zhang Su posted a douyin a few minutes before midnight, leaving the comment on it, “New Year's Eve~ Those who spit at me are really meaningless, I have never hurt him, so you can spit whatever you want~ If you still support him, go support his new songs and trendy brand~ As his friend of 18 years, it’s not that you make friends just for show, there are some things you can’t help if you don’t believe it, time will prove it” [screenshot] (I’m not linking the douyin itself because I don’t want to give him traffic, DM me if you want the link) This was well timed, as Flora finished the wiki page for him the following day, which outlines exactly what a good “friend of 18 years” he’s been. 

→ #GongJun and #HappyJunZhe2023 trended on Twitter.

→ Gong Jun’s studio posted three photos of him from 12-31 holding Lunar New Year’s items. Caption: “At the beginning of the new year, window stenciles are posted, the red envelopes are full of blessings, and spring comes. Chinese New Year's Day is destined to be the beginning of good luck, remember to turn on the TV today and watch the boss @ Gong Jun Simon!” 

→ The Weibo account for Fox Spirit Matchmaker posted a new poster for the show featuring Gong Jun and the female lead Yang Mi.

→ Gong Jun posted a promotional image for the Youth Exhibition program he would appear in on 01-24. Caption: “In the new year, I hope to jump out of my comfort zone and see more scenery that I’ve never seen before.  In the brand-new Year of the Rabbit, I also wish you a bright future and to not to shrink back. On January 24th at 20:00 on the third day of the Chinese New Year, I will take you into a special ‘Youth Exhibition’, remember to come and see it!”

→ 361° posted two photo ads [here] and [here] featuring Gong Jun.

→ The Instagram posted a video of “Zhang Zhehan”, “Zhang Mama”, and “Zhang Zhehan’s nephew” sending New Year’s greetings.

→ Gong Jun’s studio reposted a video by People’s Daily of Gong Jun’s Dragon TV appearance that would air later (full videos linked below) with the added caption: “Fighting with swords in the jianghu, living a bold life, watch boss @ Gong Jun Simon's chivalrous transformation tonight! In the coming year, I wish everyone good luck and a happy New Year!”

→ Gong Jun’s studio posted sixteen photos from his Dragon TV appearance. Caption: “The whirling chivalrous man, willful and dashing, boss @ Gong Jun Simon is free and unrestrained, happily singing a song of the jianghu.”

→ Gong Jun posted a douyin of himself in his outfit from his later Beijing TV performance. Caption: “There are a lot of ‘skins’ in the New Year!🤓” BGM is Rollin by Calvin Harris.

→ Gong Jun appeared on Dragon TV’s Spring Festival Gala, where he performed 刀剑如梦 originally by Wakin Chau and did some magic tricks. [performance] [translated lyrics] [subbed magic tricks] (cw a bunny falls, no obvious signs that it was hurt) Fan Observations:   -  The hanfu worn by some of the backup dancers (below) is the same one that Zhang Zhehan wore on 2021-07-14. At that time, fans of another artist whom I will refrain from naming slandered Zhang Zhehan online, claiming that the outfit had been made exclusively for that artist who had worn it previously. The use of the hanfu here—and for multiple backup dancers nonetheless—is pretty much spitting in the faces of those people.  -  During the first part of the performance, there’s an illustrated cherry tree with a single white blossom.

→ Gong Jun’s studio posted nine photos of Gong Jun in the outfit from his later Beijing TV performance. Caption: “The green shirt welcomes the spring, smelling the snow on the branches. Boss @ Gong Jun Simon is going to the Chinese New Year appointment at the #Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala# tonight!”

→ Gong Jun’s studio posted a douyin of him from the above photoshoot. Caption: “Snow is falling, green shirts are fluttering, and boss @ Gong Jun Simon starts the first work diary of the lunar calendar 🐰 year!” BGM is 探窗 (钢琴版) by 汐音社.

→ Gong Jun appeared on Beijing TV’s Spring Festival Gala, performing the song Blood Actor originally by HITA. [performance] [lyric video with contextual info] Fan Observations:   -  Some drew parallels between the lyrics of this song and those of the song Zhang Zhehan recited part of on 2021-07-26.  -  As mentioned in last week’s post, HITA is openly and actively a CPF. [Here] is a song she wrote specifically for them. 😊

→ Gong Jun’s studio posted nine photos from his Beijing TV performance. Caption: “The rhyme of the opera is melodious, and the music and shadow overlap. Boss @ Gong Jun Simon's green shirt appeared, tasting the meaning of rhythm and leading the elegance of the country.”

→ #Gong Jun sings beautifully# trended at #9 on Weibo hotsearch, and #GongJun, #龚俊Simon, and Junjun trended on Twitter.

01-23 → Hsu Fu Chi posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ Fresh posted four gifs of Gong Jun.

01-24 → Hsu Fu Chi posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun. Fan Observation: Someone mentioned that they’ve been using these same photos for ages, so I checked and they've been using this specific one since literally the first day of their endorsement on 2021-10-29. 🤡 Judging by hairstyles, I would guess he hasn’t done more than MAYBE three photoshoots for them, if I’m being generous.

→ Fresh posted four more gifs of Gong Jun.

→ Gong Jun’s studio posted two photos of him from the 2023 Online Audio-Visual Ceremony he would appear in that evening. Caption: “Firm and proud, hard-blooded. Tonight at 20:00 boss @ Gong Jun Simon stars in ‘Youth History’, recalling the heroic years of the past and expressing the spirit of the times.”

01-25 → The Instagram posted a video of a clip from a fourth stolen song that would be released the following day. This was 洪荒剧场, the same song mentioned above that the real Zhang Zhehan had recited some of during his livestream on 2021-07-26, which was intended to debut it at the cancelled concert. (Quite coincidental timing, if you ask me.) Fan Observation: The photos used were leaked by August 2022, and the song demo was leaked in October 2021.

Also, the Instagram’s pfp was changed again, now to one of the most recent white haired photos. This might have happened a day or two earlier before I noticed.

→ Gong Jun made a post promoting the new drama Turn on the Right Way of Life. Caption: “Support Bo-ge's new drama! ... Catch up tonight!”​​

01-26 → The fourth stolen song was released. In the credits, it lists only Zhang Zhehan as the lyricist despite the real Zhang Zhehan having mentioned that it was written by Tang Tian.

→ Hsu Fu Chi posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ Gong Jun posted nine illustrations of the God of Wealth. Caption: “God of Wealth, God of Wealth, look at me! ! !” Fan Observation: The eighth picture was used by Zhang Zhehan as a pfp when he first made the Super3 Instagram account.

→ #ZhangZhehan trended on Twitter.

01-27 → #ZhangZhehan continued to trend on Twitter, #TheRealZhangZhehan also trended.

You know the emotional wounding is too deep when you start associating your trauma with inanimate objects. When you get flashbacks of the pain whenever you see those things.

I was scrolling through this app, looking for a wallpaper, because my fickle head got sick of my milk tea menu wallpaper, but I accidentally came across these:

Immediately I had panic attacks.

You would think these are just one of those romantic wallpapers young people like. But to me these are photos I’ve seen you liked during those times that you missed her.

All the things you could have done together. All the things you felt for her. But could no longer bring to life, all because I was there. I was a hindrance. I was in the way for you both. An inevitable collateral damage.

It is not that I do not have enough love for myself to be unbothered by these — believe me I do.

It just gives me great sorrow to know, deep down that the all the love you had for me could never amount to the love you had for her. I just happened to be present at the time. I just happened to be available. I just happened to be the first one you knew. I just happened to be the mother of your child. But I am not näive to know that if the situation were reversed; had she came before me, had you known her before me, the love between us would never have existed, not even in theory.

And that is what gives me deep sadness because I know that this is the truth. I know you would always tell me that those were all mistakes. But now that I think about it, was it really a mistake? I mean — we all know what you did was wrong but, it wasn’t a mistake, it was a conscious choice. There’s a reason why it’s calles a MIS-take, mistakes are unintentional.

You would always say that you don’t remember anything about it but I think that you only say that to stop me from talking about it. It got me wondering, what if she never changed her mind about you? Would you ever have gone back to me? I think I was just a backup plan. I was never an option, I was just too easy. Just in case she didn’t want you back.

Oh, but I didn’t want you back. Being with you just reminds me of all the hurt you have caused me. It took all of my guts to sit with all these pain, all because I love my son and I would do anything to see him happy, even if it means that I need to sacrifice my own happiness.

It pains me to have all these in my head that all it does is show up it’s ugly head on the surface whenever I try to give myself another chance at loving you. It has rooted all the way down to my soul and I do not know how to get rid of it. How can I? When you don’t give me the answers. When I am left to piece myself back up on my own? When you dismiss things that bothers me as soon as I bring them up?

How do you reassure the person you broke that you are not gonna flake out on them again this time, with mediocre words that do not mean anything at all?

For Forever (2/2)

read on ao3

***

When Max had walked into the sheriff’s station to find Michael behind a cell, Michael had fully expected the resigned sigh.

“Seriously?” he asked. “I thought you were done with this.”

“Long got in my way.”

Max faltered. “Michael, tell me you didn’t actually throw Forrest into a window.”

Michael’s eye twitched at the idea, and the corner of his lips tugged upward in a smirk. “No,” he said, and Max’s shoulders slumped. “No, but his cousin is just as much fun to toss over a pool table.”

Max leaned against a desk, his arms crossed. A moment of silence, then, “You want to talk about it?”

“I was having a drink and he bumped into me,” Michael shrugged a shoulder. “Not much to talk about.”

“That’s not what I meant,” Max said quietly.

Michael’s smirk turned smaller. He knew exactly what his brother meant. Didn’t mean he had to answer.

“You look worse than yesterday, did you see Alex or something?”

Michael’s heart gave a traitorous thump in his chest at the mere mention of Alex’s name. “Saw him. We chatted.”

Max looked concerned. “About what?”

“Why does it matter?”

Max leveled him with his dark eyes. “About what, Michael?”

Michael swallowed, and sniffed, looking away. It seemed different now, talking to Max. Ever since he’d almost lost him, he realized how badly he’d needed him. He was good at that; being the genius when it was too late for it to matter anymore.

“He ended things.”

Max’s brows pinched together. “I – I’m confused, doesn’t that happen a lot between you guys? Just go see him again and tell him –”

“No,” Michael said, more edge in his voice than he’d intended. He dialed it back. “No. He ended everything. Says he can’t trust me after Maria, says he knows he’s just my – my backup, and he’s fine with it! He’s happy, even! Relieved!Isn’t that great? Now there’s nothing holding him back from following Forrest to New York or Europe, or wherever gay emo poets go to be at one with the earth or whatever.”

Max said nothing for a moment. Then, “So he’s just done.”

Michael nodded once, a lump in his throat. “He’s just done.”

Max tilted his head. “Are you?”

“What?”

He stood. “Alex always fought like hell for you, even when you didn’t deserve it.”

“I get it, okay?” Michael said through grit teeth, his eyes burning. “I’m no good for him. He’s better off without me.”

“No,” Max said fiercely, coming up to the bars. “Not even close, brother. You broke Alex’s heart, you have to fix it. He’s done his fighting, now it’s your turn.”

Michael shook his head. “He doesn’t want me around.”

“He thinks he’s your second choice, right?” Max said. “That’s what he doesn’t want. Look –” he crouched down so that he and Michael, who was slumped against the bench, were on the same eye level. “You love him, don’t you?”

“More than anything,” Michael said without hesitation. Max chuckled, like the answer was obvious.

“Then show him,” he said. “Tell him every minute. Don’t let Forrest take him away from you.”

Michael swallowed, and tried for a light tone that he didn’t feel, “You’re saying I shouldthrow him out the window?”

Max sighed, raising a brow at him. “Did Wyatt Long even hit you?”

“Sure,” Michael grinned. “Rednecks really don’t like it when you imply they’re sleeping with their tractor buddies.”

Michael felt ridiculous. Max had bailed him out of his cell no more than two hours ago, and he was sure that this bordered on stalking and would land him back in one. He couldn’t help it.

He’d just barely gone back to his trailer to get a quick shower, and he’d gotten a text from Isobel. She must have spoken to Max, because the whole message had consisted of a single picture of Alex’s profile as he leaned against the counter at the Crashdown, clearly unaware his photo was being taken, and the words; This is your chance, he’s alone.

Michael had never driven so dangerously. He’d parked in front of the diner, and paused. He thought he’d imagined it in the picture Isobel had sent, but it had been clear to him, even through the glass, that Alex was tired.

He was leaning too heavily on his left leg, as if just touching the ground with his other side pained him. His fingers were rubbing into his thigh, and his smile was tight until he sat down, his eyes fluttering with no small amount of relief.

Michael couldn’t find it in him to go inside, watching Alex carefully from the outside, considering the way he seemed too tired to even eat. Michael wondered if he would be welcome to sit beside Alex now, to hold him and take care of him like he wanted to.

Then a hand tapped his shoulder, and he looked over his shoulder to find a very unimpressed Isobel.

“Are you kidding me?” she greeted. “He is ten feet away from you, just go up to him.”

Michael swatted at her peering over his shoulder like she was a fly. “You don’t get it,” he told her, returning his gaze to Alex. “Something’s wrong with him.”

She flicked his ear.

“Ow, Isobel!”

“Then go ask him!” she demanded. “Be his knight in shining armor!”

“I can’t just ask –”

“Would you have done it if it was DeLuca?” she said, and Michael felt as if she’d just shot him.

“That’s different,” he muttered, shaking his head. “That’s –”

“Yeah, I know,” Isobel rolled her eyes. “Lower stakes. Thing is, little brother –”

“We’re all the same age,” Michael said.

“—The higher the stakes, the more you have to risk,” she went on as if he hadn’t spoken. “Do you want him back or not?”

Michael clenched his jaw. “Don’t ask me that. You know what the answer is.”

Isobel’s eyes softened. “Then go get him. While you still have him alone. Or do you plan to wait until Forrest shows up and does your job?”

Michael swallowed and looked back at Alex. He had his cheek rested on his palm, his brows pinched as if uncomfortable. Michael tilted his hat down and exhaled slowly as he forced one foot in front of the other.

He didn’t check to see Isobel’s reaction as he opened the diner door and stood a moment, staring at Alex in his booth, seemingly completely inattentive to whoever had just walked in. When Michael sat down across from him, he realized why.

“Took you long enough,” Alex said first. “I thought you would spend the rest of the day watching me from behind your truck.”

Michael ducked his head, his tongue in his cheek. “So you knew. Of course you knew. There’s usually not much you don’t.”

Alex slumped further down in his seat, rubbing his eyes as his milkshake sat untouched. “Not today, Guerin, okay? I get it, you’re very macho, you don’t need anybody, good for you. I just can’t deal with it right now.”

Michael’s smirk turned pursed. Was this really what Alex thought he would say? Some line about how much better off he was now that they weren’t together? Had he expected Michael to give up on them this quickly? The thought almost broke Michael’s heart.

“Does it hurt?” he asked instead of all of that. “Your leg.”

“I’m fine,” he murmured.

Michael scoffed, his smirk bitter. “But you’ll tell Long, right?”

“Forrest is signing some papers at the hospital,” Alex said coldly, “because apparently, someone put Wyatt in a neck brace.”

“Damn,” Michael didn’t back down under Alex’s glare. “Was that all? I could’ve sworn I broke a rib or two.”

Alex leaned forward. “You didn’t have to start something with him, Guerin. I don’t like Wyatt Long any more than you do, but you walked into that fight.”

Michael huffed a hollow chuckle. “Yeah? That what you think?”

“No,” Alex said angrily, all pretense of indifference gone. “What I think is that you are just upset that you want something you can’t have. If I wasn’t with Forrest, the only injury his cousin would be suffering right now would be a hangover.”

“So you care this much about Wyatt Long?”

“I don’t give a crap about Wyatt, I care about you!” he snapped, and Michael fell silent, his smirk fallen away.

Some people had looked over, and Alex ran a trembling hand through his hair. When he spoke again, his words were quiet, all the frustration and fury and fear evident in the way even his voice shook. “You were so pissed off that I wanted someone else that you went and picked a fight with the town nutjob!” He shook his head. “Is that what it’ll take to keep you safe now? Stay with you until you get tired of me?”

Michael flinched. “Don’t – don’t say that –”

“Why not?” he demanded. “It’s the truth, isn’t it? You only want me around when I keep my mouth shut, when nothing is serious. As soon as I try to get close to you, you go running off to someone else. That’s what you want to force me into?”

“You love me,” Michael said, finding his voice. “If I never know anything else, I’ll always know that. You love me, Alex, and I love you, and we’re supposed to be together.”

“I already told you,” Alex said through grit teeth. “I don’t believe a word you say.”

He pushed himself up and out of the booth. Michael’s hands curled to fists, and Alex got as far as the counter before Michael was out of his seat.

He turned Alex around by the arm and pinned him against the counter, startling both Alex and a waitress.

“You’re mine,” he growled. “You’ve always been mine.” He raised a hand, gently tracing Alex’s jaw with his fingers, following raptly with his eyes. Alex’s weight, Michael made sure, wasn’t on his bad leg.

“Ever since we were seventeen,” he murmured. “In the decade that came after that. And in the next decade, and the next one, you’re mine, Alex. So you want to date Forrest Long? Go right ahead. Because I’m coming back for you, Private, and I’m going to spend every waking second making up for my stupid mistake. I can’t be you. I can’t be the knight in shining armor you were. I can’t pretend I’m not so in love with you that it feels like it’ll kill me, and I’m sorry I can’t do it, baby. I wish I was as strong as you, but I’m not.”

Alex searched Michael’s face with wide, glassy eyes. “I –”

Michael leaned in, doing what he’d needed to do since the gala, and pressed his nose to Alex’s soft hair, breathing him in. When he spoke, his lips brushed the shell of Alex’s ear, eliciting a soft gasp that had Michael tightening his grip on Alex’s waist until there was no space between their bodies at all.

“I love you, baby,” he breathed. “I’ll get you back, I promise.”

He leaned back, his heart feeling like it was racing a million miles a second as he cupped Alex’s jaw and brushed his cheek with his thumb. He pressed their foreheads together, and took one last deep breath that he knew would have to last him until the next time they saw each other.

“Go home,” Michael murmured into the space between their lips. “Take the prosthetic off and get some rest.”

He brushed away Alex’s tear and forced himself to let go. Without waiting for Alex’s reaction, Michael turned and left the Crashdown, well aware that there were a few eyes on him, but he couldn’t stop moving. He had to prove what Alex meant to him, what he’d always meant to him. He had work to do.

Chapter List Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 8

“Rafael...Rafael come on don’t make me run in these shoes,” You called after him, scampering in your stilettos. Rafael finally stopped and turned to face you.

“What, Y/N? What could you possibly say to me?” He said exasperatedly. 

“Well this is familiar…” You half smiled. It was a call back to your first “date”.

“You really want to make jokes right now? He asked angrily.

“Sorry...I’m sorry,” You awkwardly looked at the ground. “For everything,”

“For everything,” He scoffed with a roll of his eyes. 

“Yes! For everything,” You tried to step towards him, but he stepped back. 

“For what, exactly? For stealing my stuff? For going through my apartment? For DRUGGING me?” 

“I did NOT--”

“Oh don’t even. I had such weird dreams that I haven’t had except for when I was taking hydrocodone for a back surgery,” He crossed his arms.

“Oh come on it wasn’t even half a pill there’s no way you could have--”

“SEE, I knew it! What the fuck is WRONG with you?!” He stared at you with disbelief.

“I...I don’t know…” You bit your lip.

“Right,” He shook his head with a sarcastic smile and turned to walk away, but you grabbed his hand.

“But look I’m sorry, okay and, and I didn’t give these to Buchanan yet so I’m going to delete them, right now and--” You started to show him the CONFIDENTIAL photos you took last night, but for the first time you were looking at them properly.

“I thought you were deleting them,” He said almost on top of you when he realized what you had taken photos of.

“What is this?” You zoomed in on the files, your face growing pale. “Rafael, what is this?” 

“Look we’re talking about what YOU did, Y/N--” He started to deflect but you weren’t hearing any more.

“My NAME is all over this, Rafael,” You could feel your panic attack coming back. The files were basically a full blown background check on you. Your family, your career, everything.

“It’s...not what you think,” Now it was his voice that went soft.

“It’s not what I--I can’t fucking believe this,” You laughed sarcastically, tears stinging your eyes. “You’re not upset I ‘played’ you, you’re upset you got outplayed!”

“What? What does that even mean?” He scoffed.

“YOU ASKED ME OUT,” You almost screamed. “You asked me out to get more dirt on me!”

“No,  I didn’t I--” He tried to deny it.

“Bullshit! Then what the fuck is this?!”  You shook the phone at him. “God I can’t believe I felt bad for-- GOD you’re such a--”

“Oh no no no, don’t even. I didn’t sleep with you and steal your property,” He acted like he was the victim once again.

“Yeah, because I didn’t give you the chance!” You were fuming.

“Look I didn’t even get that information, okay? Liv did. She did a whole background check on you when she thought I was interested in you...MONTHS ago. And I never even looked at it!” He tried explaining everything away. Nothing was ever his fault. 

“But you kept it. Just in case,” You narrowed your eyes.

“Well obviously I’m glad I did,” He bit back.

“God...Olivia,” You scoffed. “You know she’s the only reason we’re in this,” You rolled your eyes at that stupid woman. 

“Excuse me?”

“I wanted to go out with you for REAL, Rafael. Which clearly was never on your agenda,” You stomped your heel. 

“Oh come on that’s--” He shook his head.

“Yeah, and then not only did you embarrass the fuck out of me, then your little bitch called Buchanan and TOLD ON US,” You spat. The whole thing was enough to set you on fire, if she hadn’t butt in at all you would be in Rafael’s arms right now and not having it out in the middle of the street.

“...She what?” His voice went soft again; he didn’t even correct you on calling her a bitch.

“Yeah, turns out she thought I was trying to “coerce” you to my side, or that’s what she told Buchanan,” You spat. “And THEN, and ONLY then, did Buchanan come to me and threaten my god damn JOB and CAREER unless I got those receipts!”

“He...he threatened you…?” Rafael’s head was spinning. Had you really cared about him this whole time?

“YES, and-- and you know what is the WORST part of all of this?” You shook your head and laughed bitterly.

“What--? He looked afraid of the answer.

“I KEPT THE RECEIPTS,” You yelled, feeling yourself about to breakdown.

“What do you mean, you kept the receipts?” He asked with concern.

“I took this last night,” You pulled the USB you swiped from your blazer pocket. “And--And after I sat there, I let you-- I--- and then you called me ‘mi amor’, and I--” Your mind was running a mile a minute, you couldn’t finish a thought.

“I did what?” He stared at you in shock. 

“You don’t even remember that,” You scoffed angrily “Of course you don’t. You didn’t fucking mean it, I knew that,” 

“I….I…” Rafael’s eyes went back and forth as his mind was racing, trying to figure out exactly what he had said out loud last night and what he had dreamed of.

“And I felt SO BAD, so bad, and I thought that I--that we---” You were still reeling, you couldn’t believe this was happening. 

“Y/N…” Rafael’s face was apologetic now but you were done. 

“I made copies of the receipts and I put them on this USB and I was going to give it back to you, and then you could just tell Buchanan that you had made copies and saved them beforehand, and I didn’t get my hands on it. Because I didn’t give it to him, Rafael. I saved it and I was going to save YOU,” You were full on having a breakdown, tears were falling down your face. Rafael’s face fell completely and he reached for you.

“Y/N I am so--”

“NO!!!!” You jerked away from him. “You played me! I can’t believe all the bullshit you gave me, all the guilt I felt, the feelings I thought--”

“I didn’t play you Y/N I swear to you, I asked you out because I--” He grabbed your hands this time. “I really did like you, I DO like you,” 

“No, I’m not listening to any of your bullshit of what I ‘felt’ or some sappy bullshit, not for one more second,” You ripped away from him and started to storm off; But you were going to show him once and for all who was the heartless one. 

“And you know what, counselor? Congratulations, you outplayed the best of the best. Well done. Here’s your prize,” You threw the USB at him and stormed off, leaving him speechless.

---- 

You stomped back inside and went straight to the family bathroom nearby, locking it behind you just before you broke down crying. Your phone began buzzing wildly, “RAFAEL” flashed on your screen. IGNORE.

It rang again, and again and again. You finally picked it up and screamed “LEAVE ME ALONE,” and hung up. 

Why did you give him that USB? Now you were going to lose your job on top of everything else.

You finally composed yourself long enough to make it back to your desk, where Buchanan was waiting. 

“Ah, Y/L/N, So I just got a very...interesting call from Barba,” He gave you a look.

“I’m sure you did,” you thought to yourself. “Oh?” You asked out loud.

“Yes it turns out, that he had those receipts on a backup USB he had at his office,” He said in an accusatory tone.

“Oh. That’s unfortunate,” You did your best to keep cool.

“It is, and also very peculiar. Seeing as he was so upset when he came over here, acting like he didn’t have a chance,” He kept his suspicious tone.

“He probably just forgot he had it at the office, you know on the account of being drugged last night and all,” You rolled your eyes.

“I’m  sorry, what?” John’s eyes perked up.

“A quarter of a hydrocodone, he’s fine,” You waved it off. “Probably made him foggy though,”

“Uh huh...I’m sure,” He nodded. “And about those photos…”

“Oh, don’t count on it,” You shook your head as you handed him your phone.

“Oh, damn Y/L/N,” He chuckled. “Seems that ADA really took you for a ride, didn’t he? Maybe I overestimated you,” That hit so much harder right now, and he knew it. 

“Just...I’m sorry, okay?” You looked at the floor in shame.

“Well, you did your best there, my little shark,” He nodded to the plushie as he walked away. You picked it up and tossed it into the trash as you did your best not to burst into tears again.

------

Meanwhile across town, Barba was storming into Olivia Benson’s office at the NYPD.

“What is your problem, Olivia?” He barked.

“Excuse me?” Olivia was floored that Rafael would yell at her like this.

“Liv look, I know that we’re best friends, and we’ve known each other a long time but--- I’m not yours,” He sighed.

“I’m sorry?” She acted oblivious.

“You know what I’m talking about,”

“I really don’t--”

“Y/N, Olivia,” Barba cut her off.

“What about her?”

“The background check? The little phone call to Buchanan?” He asked angrily.

“Wha-- how are you going to be mad at me for being right about her?” She scoffed.

“YOU WEREN’T RIGHT,” He yelled while throwing his hands up in the air.

“Were you or were you not just in here ranting about how she just slept with you to get that evidence?” Olivia crossed her arms. 

“And she gave it back,” He held out the USB. 

“...Why would she do that?” Olivia was still lost.

“Because she cares about me, Olivia! But because of you, I’m pretty sure I’ll never get her trust back,” He yelled in frustration.

“No, no that can’t be right. She must have an angle,” Olivia persisted.

“Why, because the only one allowed to care about me is you?” Rafael asked coldly. 

“That is--” Olivia shook her head, not believing he had just gone there.

“Look, Liv I haven’t wanted to have this conversation because your friendship is so important to me,” He softened his voice. “But...that’s it. Our friendship,”

“Wow, Rafa. Wow I cannot believe you just come in here and start yelling at me, and start lecturing me on what our relationship is. Are you really that full of yourself?!” She was pissed now.

“Liv, we both know that’s why--”

“I was looking after you as a FRIEND, jackass,” She scoffed. “And anyway, why do you care so much all of a sudden? A week ago she was the devil to you! Now you’re in love with her?”

“I’m not---I don’t---” Rafael tried to find the words. “I could have, Liv. I really could have,”

“....I really am sorry, Rafael,” Olivia went and put her hand over his, and he let her. He looked up at her with soft eyes, finally letting a small smile form.

“I know you are,” He pulled her close and kissed her forehead. 

Maybe it wasn’t meant to be, maybe he should just quit fighting it. Maybe he could be happy with Olivia, he was never going to get you back now anyway.

Was he?

------

*A Month Later*

You were working late again, it seemed like lately all you did was work. You practically slept in your office these days. A few of your co-workers passed by laughing and chatting.

“Hey, Y/L/N, what are you doing? It’s a holiday!”

“Halloween hardly qualifies as a holiday Spencer,” You rolled your eyes. “It’s just an excuse for kids to load up on candy and adults to load up on booze,” 

“Exactly!” Kyra, the young intern, chimed in. Of course the guys were trying to get her to go ‘party’ with them. 

“Aw come on, we’re gonna go crash the NYPD’s Halloween Bash,” Your third co-worker Greg added.

“.....Really?” You asked with a sly smile, the wheels in your head were turning. 

“Oh yeah, their chief always gets the good booze,” Spencer laughed. “You’re gonna need a costume though,” 

“Oh I’ve got just the costume…” You smirked while logged off your laptop and grabbed your briefcase,

You’d show the whole NYPD just who was the fairest of them all….

Javier lets out a heavy breath as he steps out of the bar, letting the night air soothe him just the slightest bit. Hands on his hips, he looks up at the sky, staring into the sea of stars above him. There’s not a cloud in the sky. The sun had gone down a while ago, leaving the air comfortably warm, a welcome change from the sweltering Colombian heat.  It’s truly a perfect night.

He closes his eyes for just a moment, but then looks back inside the bar, trying to absorb the moment and commit it to memory. Most of the task force has taken over the building, finally able to celebrate the victory of taking down Escobar. At this point, everyone has had plenty to drink and is in a better mood than Javier has ever seen. It’s endearing, really, to see everyone finally at ease after such a long war. His eyes land on Steve and Connie dancing together. His smile is genuine at first, but then he feels a pang in his chest.

There is one thing missing…

You’re caught in a firefight with a handful of sicarios. Javier had already called for backup, but he knows that it might be too late by the time that the rest of the task force arrives. They’re closing in on the entrance to the building, and he knows that the moment they get through the door, it’s over. He looks to where you stand on the other side of the doorway, trying to get a clear shot on any of the men outside. He does the same, though neither of you are able to make much of a dent in their numbers.

He curses as he runs out of ammunition, taking a moment to reload while you keep firing. He meets your eyes for just a moment as he replaces the magazine, but you’re not looking at him. Your eyes go wide and you raise your gun, pointing it at something behind him. He’s barely able to register the click of your empty pistol before he’s on the ground, pinned under your weight. He hits the ground as a shot is fired, and when he looks up he sees the man standing at a window.

Javier wrestles out of your grip, pointing and shooting the sicario before he has a chance to fire again. Sirens begin to sound, and he sighs in relief as the task force arrives, beginning their attack on the remaining threats on the outside of the building. But then it hits him.

You haven’t moved.

He pulls himself up to sit on his knees, cursing under his breath when he finally looks at you. You’re lying limply on your side, and there’s blood on the ground. He gently turns you onto your back, and he shakes his head profusely when he finds the source of the bleeding. Somehow, the sicario had managed to hit you in the small exposed area between your neck and the bulletproof vest.

“Come on, baby. Wake up. Cavalry’s here,” Javier says desperately, tapping your cheek in hopes of rousing you. He feels his eyes burn as your eyes flutter open just a bit. “That’s it, mi amor. You’re gonna be alright,” he says. He turns to the door then, knowing that if he doesn’t get you to a hospital soon, you’ll bleed out on the floor. “Ayúdame! Rápidamente! Agent down!,” he yells. He doesn’t think anyone can hear him over the gunfire.

“Javi…” He turns back to you as he hears you choke out his name, and he becomes hyper-aware of how fast his heart is beating when he sees the blood on your lips. He presses down on the wound with his bare hands, careful not to cut off your breathing, but he knows he needs to slow the amount of blood you’re losing

“Shhh. Save your strength. You’re gonna be fine,” he says. “Ambulancia! Ahora!,” he screams back at the door.

“J-Javier,” you try again.

He brings himself to meet your eyes, fighting against the tears that blur his vision. “No, baby. Come on. You don’t get to do this,” he says.

“Te quiero….amor.” Your words are barely a whisper as you reach up with a trembling hand, managing to cup his cheek for a few brief seconds.

“Tú eres el amor de mi vida,” Javier tells you, bringing his hand up to hold yours in place. He closes his eyes for just a second, savoring the way that your skin feels against his. He tries to remember your warmth, because he knows that this is the last time he’ll ever feel it.

He opens his eyes again, leaning down and pressing his lips to your forehead. He lets himself linger there.

A sob escapes Javier’s lips as your chest falls with your last breath. The sounds of gunfire have ceased, but he doesn’t realize that the fight has been won until his men come bursting through the door. He doesn’t look at them. Instead, he falls back against the wall, cradling your body to his chest and rocking gently. He presses his forehead to your temple, whispering hoarse apologies that you’ll never hear, but he feels the need to say anyway.

Javier sighs to himself, turning away from the bar scene as his eyes fill with tears. He’d been given the option to go back to the States for your funeral, but he couldn’t do it. He hadn’t wanted to see you that way, for that to be the last time he saw you. And he wouldn’t have been able to handle having to tell your family that he was the reason that you were gone.

He knows he should have been the one to die. He wishes you would have let it happen.

Javier shakes his head as he tries to imagine what you would be doing now. He’d like to believe that he’d be holding you by the waist, dancing with you after a few too many drinks. You’d be cracking jokes with Murphy and chatting with Connie. You’d be so happy to know that they’d finally managed to finish the job, smiling that bright smile up at him all night long. You deserved to have seen it all through.

He pulls out his wallet, opening it and looking at the little photo inside. It’s the only thing he has left of you, and as annoyed as he’d been when Murphy had taken the candid of him holding you, he’s certainly glad that he has the keepsake now. Javier slides it out from behind the clear plastic holder, bringing it to rest lightly against his lips. What he wouldn’t give to be able to kiss you one last time…

There’s a hand on his shoulder then, and he turns to see Steve, a somber, knowing look on the other man’s face. “I know, man. I know,” he says, glancing down at the photo as Javier returns it to its place in his wallet.

“She should be here,” Javier says, looking back up at the sky. He knows you’re up there somewhere.

“She is. How the hell else did we make it through all this shit?,” Steve says, and Javier knows he’s right. You’d died to save him. Of course you were the guardian angel seeing them through this war.

Silence falls between the two men, each cycling through their memories with you, their wishes that you could be there with them. Finally, Steve squeeze’s Javier’s shoulder. “Come back inside,” he says.

“Yeah… Just give me another minute,” Javier whispers, not looking to his partner as he returns to his wife inside. He gives himself a moment to breathe then. You’d tease him for being such a sap. He knows it. The thought brings a soft smile to his face. 

“You did it, baby. You got him...,” he tells the stars, praying that maybe you can hear him. He knows that they never would have done it without you.

Duvall and the Marckworth Forest

20 April 2021

Last summer I rode from Duvall up into the Marckworth Forest above Stossel Creek (8-23-2020 East of Duvall). In planning that route, I realized there was a network of roads that could connect with the Skykomish River Valley farther north.

The middle third was on gravel - mainly Young's Creek Truck Trail and Stossel Creek Road. Doing homework on the route was important, as there were plenty of unmarked (and largely indistinguishable) intersections and it would be pretty easy to get lost (cell service is sketchy). Google maps is a good start, but it doesn’t capture the differences between maintained and abandoned roads. I think my RWGPS route reflects the most efficient path. The roads were all in pretty good shape (some loose gravel, some large potholes) and while there's some climbing it's neither too steep nor too epic. Young's Creek is gated to motorized vehicles which meant no cars (it also means you can't drive this loop in your Outback).

Just before turning onto Ben Howard Road, I managed to snag a large cotter pin. The blunt 1/8" pin skewered my almost new rear tire, leaving both entrance and exit wounds too large for the sealant to deal with. I had only just moved to a tubeless setup a few weeks ago, so this was a good opportunity to learn how to use a tubeless repair kit. I inserted a bacon strip in each hole, pumped the tire backup, and after a few more bubbles, both sealed up tightly. It left me a little apprehensive as I headed into the more remote middle segment of the ride, but everything held up fine (The bottom picture was taken the next day - I wish I’d had the presence of mind to take a photo of the pin when it was still in the tire).

Tomber Amoureux (To Fall in Love)

SURPRISE!! I was your Secret Santa @hari-writes!!! I have yet to read your stories but I will get there eventually (and when I do, get ready for a load of kudos and comments >:3). There is no doubt though you are a fantastic writer. Just by seeing the summaries on your stories, I feel excited to read them. I hope the fic I wrote for you is alright and you enjoyed reading it :D. Have a Miraculous Christmas!!  

@mlsecretsanta

This story can also be read on Ao3

Adrien Agreste was a successful man.

Just like his father shaped him to be, he was perfect, without any flaws, and very articulate with how the business at Gabriel fashions ran. Everyone who met him treated him exactly as they would his father, usually commenting on how he was almost like a spitting image with his hair jelled back and sporting a somewhat stoic demeanor. However, a couple differences were that his hair was a little longer and his eyes stood out as a vibrant green, showing a softer side to him. At the age of twenty three, he had no close friends and didn’t mind keeping it that way.

Everything in his life went smoothly and gracefully, just how he liked it.

That is until a certain someone literally crashed into his life.

“Oof!” Adrien’s breath was knocked out of him when a small body collided with his, causing them both to tumble onto the cold ground. He laid there dazed, looking up at the sunny, clear blue winter sky through his sunglasses.

“I am so sorry!” A sweet voice exclaimed next to him.

There was the scuffling sound of someone scrambling up, and before he knew it, his coat was being grabbed and he was hoisted to his feet.

Clearing his throat and wiping off the dirt on his black clothes, he replied curtly. “It’s fine.”

“I’m still very sorry! I was rushing because I’m going to be late to my first day of work and I didn’t see you there before it was too late and I hope you’re okay-,” the voice rambled on.

Adrien sighed and finally glanced up. “Look it’s not a problem…,” his firm words died out as he was struck by the beauty of the woman before him.

With dark hair that shone blue in the light of the sun cascading down her shoulders, pink lips pursed in worry, and eyebrows scrunched together, she was a site to behold. Her red pea coat was ruffled and slightly dirty while the black tights on one of her legs had been torn near the knee above red heeled ankle boots. The most stunning of all however were her cerulean blue eyes peering into his, concern swimming in the deep pools.

A weird sensation started swirling in his gut, one that was foreign to him.

Swallowing, Adrien tried to find his voice again but she beat him to it.

“Oh! You’ve got some dirt on your face,” the woman stepped close to him and reached up to swipe her thumb across his cheek. Pleasant tingles erupted where her skin touched his.

He was speechless. Where were these weird feelings coming from and why? He’s never felt this way before. Soon he could feel the telltale signs of an uncommon blush heating up his face.

“Monsieur, are you okay? You got really red all of a sudden,” she unwound an emerald green scarf from around her neck he hadn’t noticed before until now. “Here, for all the trouble I’ve caused you I’d like you to have one of my creations.” With that, she wrapped the warm scarf around his neck with care and stepped back to send him a sweet smile.

Now his heart was doing somersaults in his chest and it was getting harder to breathe. He could only manage to get out a whispered, “thank you,” before those blue eyes went wide with shock as she looked over his shoulder.

“Is that the time?! Son of a biscuit I’m late!” she darted around him and started sprinting down the sidewalk towards the building he just came from.

Delicately, he rubbed the soft material of the scarf between his fingers, a toothy smile peeking out between his lips. Then shaking his head, he willed the emotions away and continued on his journey to the café across the street to have his lunch. He was a gentleman first and foremost, so he was not going to let his thoughts and feelings overcome him just because a stranger showed him some love he was desperately deprived of.

A gorgeous woman like her probably already had someone anyway.   

 A few days later, Adrien was walking on his way to work past a photo shoot in the park when he heard his name being called. Turning around at the familiar voice, he smiled politely on reflex at his old photographer Vincent.

“Señor Adrien! How long it’s been!” Vincent shouted cheerfully, hastily making his way over to him.

Adrien chuckled. “It has been a while. How’s life?”

“Mi fa cagare!” The man swore in Italian as his hands flew up in the air. “Your father wanted pictures of the new young romance perfume but the main model Richard just called and cancelled!” He gestured to the completed set up behind him. “Everything is ready but no model! All the backup models are busy and I can’t get a hold of anyone to help!”

Adrien observed the frazzled photographer for another moment then resolutely gave in. Taking a deep breath full of possible regret and letting it out heavily, he put a calming hand on Vincent’s shoulder. “I’ll be your model.”

Vincent beamed with his grin positively radiant, along with something else. “Grazie Adrien! I am in your debt.”

Holding up a finger, Adrien gave him a stern look. “Only this one time though. I am not going back to modeling as a full time job again, so don’t try to convince me otherwise.”

“Bien sûr, of course.” Nodding his head in approval, Vincent turned around and immediately started shouting orders to the crew members.

Moving along after him, Adrien left Nathalie a voicemail of his whereabouts and plans then was soon swept up into the organized chaos. He didn’t pay much attention to anything around him; instead, he went with the motions of once more being a living doll. Before he knew it, he was dressed and all done up in makeup, sitting languidly on the freezing lip of an empty fountain. The white overcoat fit him nicely, paired with whitewashed blue jeans, black leather boots, and a grey beanie snuggled onto his normal hairstyle.

He poised how he remembered before he quit the modeling gig a few years back. It felt kind of awkward at first, but soon he was into the old rhythm again and completed each new shot with ease.

But apparently to his photographer, it wasn’t good enough.

With a humming noise of disapproval, Vincent gazed at the pictures in deep thought.

“This isn’t quite right,” he muttered under his breath and clicked his tongue.

“Am I doing anything wrong?” Adrien asked.

Vincent paused. “…no. It’s just…something is missing.” With a snap of his fingers, he bellowed, “Dupain-Cheng!”

There was a flurry of footsteps then Adrien’s heart skipped a beat when he recognized the mystery woman approaching them. All he could do was stare while she stood with assurance in her pink trench coat adorned with a blue scarf around her neck next to Vincent.

“What is it Monsieur?” she asked politely.

“You’re the newest intern are you not?” he inquired. After the nod of her head, he continued. “With your fresh eyes, tell me, what would you do to make this more romantic, more appealing?”

Adrien was puzzled. From what he knew of Vincent, he never asked someone for another opinion or tips, especially from a new intern. Father wouldn’t be pleased either if he found out.

While she studied the photos on the camera, Adrien caught Vincent’s eye and noticed a mischievous twinkle in them. He was instantly put on high alert.

“Well,” she began, “I would probably leave the main outfit be but I’d make a few changes in accessories.”

Vincent made a show of his hands towards Adrien. “Show me what you would do then Mademoiselle.”

Adrien narrowed his eyes and shot a glare at his photographer as she stepped up to him. The stern look was instantly wiped from him however when she pulled off his beanie and began ruffling his hair. The carefully coifed strands were now falling freely around his face while he gazed at her in awe. After she stepped back, he could still feel the tingling of her fingers in his hair and a shiver went up his spine.

Slowly, he let out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding.

By just one slight change to his appearance that he had kept up for years, Adrien felt different. It was as though he was freed from something, making him feel extremely light.

Warmth bloomed and spread in his chest.

Clueless to her life changing actions, the intern unwound the blue scarf from her neck and wrapped it neatly around his. Staring at her intently and swallowing hard, Adrien was reminded of her kindness from a few days ago and desperately tried to squash down the rising emotions he has spent years repressing.

When she moved back from him and that sincere smile appeared on her face again, he saw his mother’s smile and instantly knew he was falling for this woman fast.

“How does that look Monsieur?” her question brought him out of his trance. Adrien blinked to clear his vision in time to see his fully smirking photographer.

“Si! Perfecto!” Vincent clapped, overjoyed with the scene. “Is there anything else?”

Adrien refused to meet her observing eyes and studied the ground instead. Why was he shy all of a sudden? He’s an Agreste! These emotions shouldn’t be slipping out of his control. Yet even so, he could tell a blush was forming on his cheeks from the sensation of heat prickling along his skin.

She hummed. “If you’re going for a romantic vibe, the next best way to capture it is to find someone to be in the shots with him.”

There was a brief period of silence.

“You are absolutely right,” Adrien could hear the satisfaction in Vincent’s voice. “Unfortunately, I don’t have anyone who could fill in at the moment. Would you be willing to do it?”

So that was his plan all along.

Sly, scheming photographers.

“M-me?!” She spluttered. He glanced up to see her eyes blown wide. “I’m not…this isn’t something I’m cut out for.”

“What do you mean?” Adrien interrupted, his shyness disappearing as he rose from the fountain to look down at her.  

Waving her hands around, she gave him a flustered look. “My job is to be behind the camera, not in front of it!” she squeaked.

“But can you do it differently this one time?” he pleaded.

“No!”

Adrien furrowed his brows in thought. Well, there is one of two ways he could influence her to help. By encouraging, or teasing.

He chose the latter.

A grin gradually began to appear on his face as he leaned in. “Aww…” he crooned. “Is someone camera shy?”  

Her cheeks went bright red. “I…I am not camera shy.”

“Prove it.”

A steely glint showed up in her eyes suddenly as she leaned in as well and poked him in the chest.

His heart stuttered in response.

“You know what? I will.” She stated with such confidence, his brain lost all ability to function. “Watch me, pretty boy.”

Vincent laughed joyfully behind them.

Adrien smiled in pure bliss at the camera pointed towards them.

If future photo shoots will be more like this, scratch what he said earlier and sign him up for the next one.

After the woman had agreed, she was briefly whisked away to change into Gabriel brand clothes and have her makeup done. When she emerged from the tent, she had successfully stolen the very breath from his lungs with the belted black wrap coat fit snugly to her body, a light pink cashmere scarf around her neck to match his, and white suede boots over dark blue skinny jeans. Makeup natural and light, she looked stunning.

Now here they were sitting next to each other, knees touching, on the edge of the fountain and Adrien couldn’t be happier.

Well, he could think of one reason how he could be happier but it probably wasn’t going to happen.

“Okay, now face one another and flirt,” Vincent ordered.

Adrien effortlessly composed himself into the suave persona everyone loved. Turning to her with a smirk now in place, he casually lifted up the hand in her lap to give her knuckles a whisper of a kiss. He was delighted to see a splash of red grow across her cheeks.

“I never did get your first name my Lady?” Adrien questioned as he set her hand down and gently grabbed the other to hold between them.

Suddenly appearing bold, she leaned towards him with a playful quirk on her lips, “That’s a secret Monsieur.”

His eyebrow rose. “I could easily find out…”

“If you do that, I won’t have any reason to trust you.”

“Very well,” he conceded. “I’ll wait for you to tell me yourself. In the meantime, I’ll give you cute nicknames, Buginette.”

“Really,” she deadpanned.

They were so caught up in each other, the sounds of Vincent’s camera clicking faded into the rest of the background noise.

It was just the two of them.

“Yeah,” Adrien continued, “When I first saw you a few days ago, you reminded me of a ladybug.”

She blinked, and then narrowed her eyes to scrutinize him. “Have we met before?”

He gave her a genuine smile. “Thanks for the green scarf. It’s quite comfy.”

Eyes widening in realization, her mouth popped open as well. “Oh my goodness that was you!”

Adrien started chuckling at her baffled expression.

“Cat man!”

He abruptly stopped and gave her a confused look. “Cat man..?”

“Yes!” she laughed in disbelief. “You had those sunglasses on that were Cat Eye styled.” Shaking her head, she gave him a wide, pearly white smile that did things to his poor heart. “I felt bad for knocking you over but after seeing those I didn’t feel as horrible.”

Adrien gasped in mock offense and put a hand on his chest. “Come on those are vintage! Don’t insult my Cat Eyes.”

“Alright Chaton don’t get your tail in a twist,” she said rolling her eyes fondly.

He spluttered. “I am not a kitten! I am a man!”

“Keep telling yourself that Minou.”

Pouting, Adrien muttered, “I’m supposed to give you nicknames...”

Reaching up, she tapped a finger to his nose, effectively causing his body to shut down. “Two can play at that game Chat.”

“Alright we have enough flirt!” Vincent cut in loudly, causing the two of them to jump and crash land back to reality. “These photos are magnifique!” His photographer gushed while he flipped through them.

“Does that mean we’re done?” The woman asked as she twisted her hands together.

“Nope!” Vincent got back into position in front of them. “Now it’s time for the kissing!”

Adrien’s insides gave a jolt then he watched her face go pale. “What?” she screeched.

Waving his hands in a shooing motion, Vincent replied impatiently, “We need smooching then we’re done!”

She seemed visibly uncomfortable with the notion so Adrien shoved his nerves and excitement aside and placed a hand on her shoulder to turn her and face him. “Hey, you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to,” he said soothingly.

Pursing her lips, she looked down for a moment then peered up at him through her lashes.

Was she trying to kill him?

“I…guess I can go through with it,” she said uncertainly.

Adrien brightened with glee. “That’s the spirit! And hey, at least you get to kiss this handsome face!” He pointed to himself.

Oh god why did he say that?

She giggled then pretended to search around him. “I don’t know…you might have gotten yourself mixed up with someone else.”

Gasping, he put both hands over his heart and feigned a look of pain. “OH! You killed my ego! Now only a true loves kiss could bring me back to life!” he wailed dramatically.

He watched with satisfaction as she laughed and shook her head. “You’re such a cheesy goofball! Okay, fine come here.”

They both leaned in and the silliness was quick to wash away. It felt to Adrien as though a gravitational pull was bringing the two of them together. With each millisecond that went by, Adrien’s heart beat faster in anticipation, threatening to break out of his chest. His eyes drifted shut, then the next thing he knew his lips landed on hers.

Soft.

That was the first thing to register in his mind. Then oh so tenderly, he began to move his lips, prompting her to do the same. Lifting a hand up, he cradled her jaw and angled it slightly to deepen the kiss. The warmth he felt in his chest grew and he relished in the feeling as he tasted her strawberry flavored lip gloss. He gave a nibble on her lower lip and she made a sound in the back of her throat, making him hum with delight.

All too soon they were pulling away, and he opened his eyes to see her reddened lips before peering into her blue irises. They were locked onto his, eagerly waiting for his next move. Once again, he began inching closer to those tantalizing lips…

“And that’s a wrap!” The annoying voice of his photographer shouted excitedly, breaking the magic surrounding them.

Adrien sighed in disappointment as she got up and straightened out her coat.

Vincent walked over to her and gave a pat on her shoulder. “You did great Chérie! A true natural!”

She looked down bashfully and gave out a quiet, “Merci,” then started walking away towards the changing rooms without glancing back.

Feeling the heavy dread of possibly never seeing the mystery woman again, Adrien shot up off the fountain ignoring Vincent’s praises and jogged towards her.

“Wait!” he called out.

She stopped and turned to look at him.

He came to a halt a few feet from her.

It was as though Adrien forgot the French language because he had so much he wanted to say and ask but he didn’t know where to start. He opened his mouth then realized it was snowing around them. For a moment, he watched as the small flakes gathered on her dark hair and black coat, making her appear like the ethereal beauty of the moon shining in the starry night sky.

He didn’t even know her name and he was completely smitten.

“Yes?” she asked, bringing him out of his stupor.    

Clearing his throat and rubbing the back of his neck in nervousness, he asked, “Will we meet again my Lady?”

She broke out that wonderful smile again and winked at him.

“We’ll see, Chaton.”
