#nextflix PLEASE

[crowleysgirl56]

Just watched the final episode of Kaos, and HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS SHOW IS PHENOMENAL!

I’ve said this before if you haven’t watched this show yet, get on it now it is SO. GOOD!

Now let us all sit back and wait for Netflix to cancel it 🙄

[traceytonight]

Will forever regret that my Netflix is Dead post was true in that they dropped $200 in stock from losing out on some big streaming deals, shuttered their animation unit in such a hostile way that the whole industry was pissed at them, added an ad tier reinforcing the Streaming is the gentrified Cable outlook, and they greenlit several extra seasons of Big Mouth all within the span of two days;

Resulting in them having their lowest stock value in 4 years, after already just losing their Record Peak Value when their new suits layed off so many employees and cancelled projects left and right during the main Pandemic period, bringing them down an additional $300.

Which by the end of it all left them with not enough yearly revenue to cover the costs or debt they accrued over that time according to multiple sources reporting on it in real time.

Yet they suddenly and miraculously rebounded in under a month seemingly out of nowhere. And since have clawed their way back up to almost $500 in less than a year. Which has resulted in so many people continuing to reblog the post to either

A) Tell me Im wrong and Netflix aint dead (Obvious)

B) Use this as an opportunity to disparage things about me (Mean & Unwarranted)

C) Tell me I need to improve on reporting things, site sources better, and not spread misinformation (Wasnt intended as misinformation, but Ive already taken the other two to heart long ago thank you and please stop now)

D) Falsely believe Netflix is about to die, not realizing I made that post just under 2 years ago (Ruh Roh)

Now I'm sitting here watching all these companies starting to ditch and begin shutting down their streaming platforms and aggregate behind Netflix again to stop Disney+ from becoming profitable, and just really eating all those words I typed once again.

Still on the edge of my seat waiting for WBD to fall apart either 2025-26, you cannot operate a company at an $8 Billion yearly loss with the revenue they got.

Bridgerton is kind of enjoyable to watch when you don’t have a bitch in your ear telling you to pick ONE couple/character to like and then hate everyone else.

[thelikesoffinn]

can u please agree that Timothew Chalamt would make an awsum Astarion in the nextflix show? I have Ben arguing with my boyfriend for an hour now help me win

Ew, no I can't agree, sorry! I'm with your boyfriend on this one.

Like, I like Timothée Chalamet as an actor but bg3 is so not his vibe. He's a thespian artsy boy, not a fantasy nerdy boy.

And then: Is there going to be a Netflix show!? Please no. I want Netflix to keep their dirty paws off this franchise.

[nibwhipdragon]

So that ask about the monster hunter movie....you got the hookup for legends of the guild? I do not have a nextflix account could you please place it in my hands 🤲

Here!

school spirits is going on nextflix at the end of this month

please note i watched it in june and am not basic <3

[idyllic-affections]

the way kaveh unknowingly invalidates reader's feelings im about to

he obviously doesn't mean to. he never wants to hurt his younger sibling. he's just so caught up in his guilt and he clings onto that visage of faranak being the mother she was before everything (cuz deep down he's still that child that was left on his own to take care of himself AND his younger sibling omfg.)

ALSO READER JOINING HARAVATAT INSTEAD OF KSHAHREWAR JUST MAKES SO MUCH SENSE AND IDK WHY.. i just think kshahrewar, by watching their brother as they grew up, is more of something out of passion, you know? and. reader, having to grow up keeping things to themselves, i feel like they'd go for a darshan that focuses more on logic?? something that's not as innovative or creative, but more of facts and analytic.

basically bc kaveh's heart > brain and reader's heart < brain 🥺...

(maybe maybe bc they think they don't wanna be associated with smth connected to their mom since she was from kshahrewar as well i think or maybe they think even if hey did pursue it they'll never be as good as kaveh because of how different their minds are im CRYINGGG AGAHHGHHHHRR)

also because i see so many clips of "shameless" (that nextflix show, reminds me of kaveh n reader but,, yk,,, less chaotic), you mentioned that faranak wouldn't feel bad about it until later on?

well, what do u think would happen if faranak suddenly vists sumeru as a 'surprise' with her husband, asking kaveh if she could take them to fontaine (either temporarily or not, up to you) to 'make up' from all they missed out on because they're younger and there's still a chance (to redeem herself as a mother?). it's just a recipe for a disaster.

also its unrelated but i think alhaitham caring for kaveh's little sibling is so sweet 😭😭 thinkin about how alhaitham cares so much about kaveh that it extends to his lil sibling .. dies.... uueueueueeuieiie 😭😭😭

ANYWAYS i thinks thats all now i will stop 😇 ty for ur time ily /p mootie i swear ,, ur feeding my brain worms

HI HI HELLO AGAIN i love seeing you in my inbox btw 🙏🙏 please send me your silly brain worm thoughts whenever you'd like 🙏🙏🙏🙏

he ofc doesn't mean to :((

he loves his little sibling probably more than he loves himself and can't fathom ever doing something to knowingly and intentionally hurt them. but as you've said. his inner child is still so unhealed and he's still clinging to the image of what his mother once was rather than the poor parent she became. and what he fails to realize is that [name] has never known faranak as anything but a shitty mother. they were far too young to remember her being a good one. he doesn't realize it, but that's all they've ever known her as--a poor parent. he knows she was good once, but they don't. and he doesn't realize that. this is probably the root of the growing distance between them, i think.

AND YES EXACTLY YOU GET IT.... i think [name] was probably a very artistic and kind child, but as they grew up, their desire to work with their hands gradually decreased until there was none left and they likely found themselves reading more as a kind of escapism or maladaptive coping method. their passion has long since been snuffed out by the pain they've gone through, and architecture... it's a work of passion. they can't do something like that, not anymore.

if kaveh wears his heart on his sleeve, then theirs must be in something of a prison. because why should they let themselves be hurt again? there's no logical reason for them to put forth all their love and kindness, so they don't.

they've had to learn to be logical. haravatat simply provides a better environment for them to foster that protective layer of logic and reason.

AND GODJSKSGSNG MOOT...... "they'll never be as good as kaveh because of how different their minds are" OHHHHH YOU!!!! I LOVE THIS on one hand, they don't want to live in either faranak's or kaveh's shadow (and they also don't want to be recognized as her child), and on the other hand, they don't think they could ever match kaveh in any way shape or form.

oh. it would be a fucking disaster if she did that. i think, by that point, their anger would have gone from the kind of hot boiling "wet" sort of anger (which you know, involves a lot of visible feelings... crying, yelling, that kind of thing) to just. cold frustration. everyone would have expected a more visceral response, but they just give her a plain and cold "no." HNBSNDBDNBNV

YES SOBS EXACTLY alhaitham is not "taking sides" by caring for [name]. he cares for both of the siblings equally, albeit in different ways (teehee silly haikaveh enthusiast pushing their silly haikaveh agenda /hj /lh)... he isn't picking sides. he understands both kaveh and [name] from an objective pov. he believes they are both valid in their feelings. but what alhaitham also understands is that both of them are failing to see one another's own perspectives; kaveh remembers faranak as a good mother, while [name] does not. but he chooses to meticulously care for both of them anyways, because he knows neither of them are quite ready to sit down and really talk about it, so it falls to him to make sure that neither of them lose themselves in their trauma.

so he continues to care for both of them, piecing them both back together with tender attention and care that most haravatat scholars fail to display...... cries. they've both got unhealed inner children but alhaitham is there to help fix it........

alhaitham is just the peacemaker fr and i don't think ANYONE would expect that of him

kaveh and [name] just end up becoming such polar opposites and it has me losing my mind AUGHGBFNF.....

[stargazer56]

10 and 20 please 🩵

Thanks for asking! 💙

10. What's biggest pet peeve?

People who know a lane is ending or traffic is merging, stay in that lane and speed up (if they can) so they can get ahead of everyone else. Just merge when you see the sign instead at the last minute.

20. Do you still watch cartoons?

Yes, mainly when they are on in the background while my kids watch. Bluey is very popular this summer. As for an animated show I love, The Dragon Prince on Nextflix is amazing!

[best-chaotic-neutral]

Keeping up with the Seed family:

John: we’re a close knit family but living with your older brothers does have its challenges. Like last night Joseph just wouldn’t stop praying and go to bed!

*camera pans to Joseph deep in prayer at 3AM while John tosses and turns in bed in the room next door*

Joseph: God doesn’t reveal his plans according to our schedules John. When he calls I must answer.

John: but an all night prayer session? God, at least I didn’t hear a peep out of Jacob all night

*camera pans to Jacob laying awake in bed, disassociating and having war flashbacks*

[memecatwings]

if the grishaverse show doesn’t have the scene from Crooked Kingdom where Kaz beats the shit out of his entire gang while walking down a staircase set to Hand Me My Shovel I’m Going In then what’s even the point??

[shadesofmonochrome]

The only thing that’s keeping me sane about not watching GIVEN (the movie) yet is the new release of ch 35.5

Like, reading extra scene of Haruki’s bubbly big sister gives me life! And him holding his niece !!! Like, now the fam wants to see his bf and how the sis says they’re are ok with it as long as he’s happy like [asdfghkl] !!!

And Haruki holding back his smile !! 😭😭💖💖

What I do look forward to is Akihiko meeting with Haruki’s family (and him holding the baby )!!! Like idk if it’ll happen but I do hope it does , at least like another extra !! 😊😊

[marvelbitch007]

Hoppers not dead,if you pause it you can see that he’s not there and beucase we didn’t really see him die we don’t know. We never saw him go to dust like the other people in the room. He’s not dead. But nice try duffer brothers 👌👏👏

Six Sentence Sunday 3.06.22 / Mood Music Monday

Real talk: Those who know me very well know how much I’ve been struggling due to the passing of my Riley face claim, Cheslie Kryst.  Well things for me haven’t been getting better.  In fact, they was getting worse.  And then, something random helped. A movie of all things. It popped up on my nextflix  the other day, called Just Like Heaven, and it reminded me so much of how I write my Liam and Riley that I decided to start writing a similar take on it.  And it’s the first time since all of this happened, that when I thought of Cheslie, my eyes didn’t fill with tears, I actually smiled.  So below the cut is a tribute story I’m writing for her.  I hope you like the snippet so far.  Moodboard credit goes to my dear friend @neotericthemis​​

Mini Series: A Piece of Heaven On Earth: Part 1

The Book:  TRR

Pairing: Liam x Riley 

Status:  Writing for this chapter is complete

Song Inspiration:  I  by Yiruma

A/N: I am writing this as a tribute to my Riley FC, the late Cheslie Kryst.  In this world, she lives on through my  existing Riley stories.  I’m really truly excited about writing this, as it feels to be giving me peace.  So if you would like to be tagged in this very special release, please let me know.  

Riley pushed the door open and was met by a blinding  light.  When her eyes finally adjusted, she was standing on the rooftop of her apartment that had been converted into a garden oasis.  It was her garden, and it was absolutely breathtaking.  Who did this for her?

“And who the hell is going to take care of all this? I’ve legit got a brown thumb here. Mother Nature and God, y’all are gonna need to handle this!!!!”  Riley chuckled to herself, starting to wander through the beautiful sweet smelling flowers.

There was a seat  in the middle, and on it sat a white rose.  For her? It better be, it’s her damn garden, on top of her damn apartment.  She picked up the freshly clipped  de-thorned rose, lifting it up to her nose, to breathe it in.  She closed her eyes as she sighed contentedly. It was the most fragrant rose, and its lovely scent filled her nostrils. Riley sat in the chair relaxing, basking in the sweet air and the warm sunshine.

And there was a voice… it  was barely audible.   Who was he?  The gentleness of the sultry baritone tone felt familiar though, and put Riley immediately at ease as he began to speak.

“I wrote you a poem. It’s the first one I’ve ever written, because I felt so inspired by your effortless beauty..

Soft, Sweet….

Sensually Smiling

Sighs���. Softly….

Shifting Stares…

Sharing Secrets….

Shhhh…….

Shuffling Silently

My Sweet Star "

Footsteps approached her, and then a hand  caressed her shoulder. 

She knew it was him, her soulmate, the one she had always been waiting for.  Riley immediately turned to gaze at the face of the man that had just made her grin like a giddy school girl in love, and just as she did, her alarm went off.

Of course.  And that’s how she ushered in year thirty with a groan.

Flirty, thirty, and  thriving, is what I heard this birthday was supposed to be. My birthday began observing the torrential downfall  of a hurricane and still my brother and his fiancee wanted to meet for breakfast. We meet every year. It was our tradition. Minus one, my twin sister Taylor was M.I.A.

Of course Jaiden had talked the staff into singing happy birthday to me, whilst bringing a plate of cupcakes Bebe had made special for my day.  It was one of the many perks of having a baker in the family or almost family, unlimited cakes, cookies and confectionary sweetness for any situation that warranted it. First birthday serenade of the day? Check.

Sitting quietly for a moment, I was able to take it all in. Thirty felt different to me, not going to lie.  The years before, I felt young and carefree.  Even year twenty nine felt alright.  But this one, even weeks before my birthday, I started becoming introspective.

It made me take a cold hard look at my life as I know it.  Was I where I thought I was going to be in my life? Not completely.  I had the job well, maybe not the job I wanted, but working in the field I wanted. I wasn’t married, had no current romantic  prospects and no children.  I had a nice apartment a few miles away from my job, and I had my dream car.

 I guess in the grand scheme of things I wasn't doing half bad, and my student loans were more than halfway paid off.

“What’s up Dirty Thirty! Happy Birthday!!!”

“Thanks Nico!”

“You look beautiful. Tell me you’re finally going to let me take you out, so we can celebrate your birthday right?”  

Nico was trying to be cool leaning against the counter. The receptionist behind the counter hid the words "don't do it." in a cough.

Riley laughed at the receptionist. Everyone knew Nico had a playboy reputation around the hospital.

Pairings:  none

Status Still in the writing process

Song Inspiration:  Miss Independent by Kelly Clarkson

“Mel what is all this?” Ellie asked as Mel and another guard brought in boxes.

“ WAIT! Is this one of my plants?” Elle inquired, looking at the guard she had never seen before.  

“No, Eleanor he’s one of your new guards stationed in America. This is Stephen.”  

“Your Highness.”  He bowed to her.

“A present from your father, and a letter for you to read.”  

Ellie broke the red seal of the letter and began to read her father’s regal neatly scripted handwriting.

Baby Love, I always felt like you and I have always shared a special connection, different from that of you and your mother. I know this transition is going to be difficult but manageable for you, but I thought you should have a little bit more of home with you. The first gift I bequeath to you is a sandbox.  I can see your face right with a smirk just like your mother.  Because you want to know what the meaning of this is.  And now you are touching your face to confirm the smirk.   And your smile that you know I’m one hundred percent right.

Her father knew her so well.  

When Ellie went to grab the second box, it was heavy and she heard the clinking of bottles.  Upon opening it, the box contained her favorite wines.  

But there is a reason for this, as with all the things I do. Because this box contains Cordonian soil.  We both know only certain laws apply to you when you are on Cordonian Soil.  So now go open your second box.

Remember Baby Love, you are allowed to legally drink only on Cordonian soil. So please abide by this rule.  Should you not want to drink alone, that box admits two additional guests by royal decree of his royal Majesty King Liam Rys. Two more things. First and foremost,  don’t tell your mother. I will never hear the end of it, if you do. Secondly, should you need a replenishment, ask me to send you more Apple Crisps.  Your mother won’t be any the wiser.

The last envelope held her father's official Cordonian decree. He had legit passed this little sandbox into law that it was an extension of the Cordonian Embassy, on Hartfeld’s campus.  

Ellie laughed. "That's my father."

“Enjoy your present.”  

"Thank you Mel."

Several Hours Earlier

Elle had just finished a cup of hot apple tea. She was starting to get morning sickness more often, and it was getting harder to hide it from Nico. All of it was getting harder to hide. She had to tell him tonight and get it over with.

She rubbed her stomach, which was no longer flat. There was a small, very noticeable curve, at least to her.

"You know, you don't have to grow so fast right? Or make me so hungry all the time. You have to give me time to figure this out. What we're going to do. Time so I can tell your father that you exist."

The phone in Elle's hotel room rang.

"Hello?"

"I know your secret."

"What secret?"

There were too many…. way too many of those.

"You and the guard. Meet me at the falls. Come alone."

"When?"

"Thirty minutes. Give the Guard the slip. I mean it, come alone."

"I'll be there."

For the first time ever Father looked concerned and wasn't taunting her.

"Eleanor, that  look in your eye, what are you planning on doing?"

Elle pulled her hair up in a ponytail.

"I am going to protect my family."

[grazieschillivera]

I’m right here

summary: you and the boys have to spend the night in an hotel.Due to Annie and Hughie all of you search rescue in Butcher's room but thats not the only thing that makes this night spend long and exhausting. - angsty, comfort

word count: ca. 3000 words

Warning: attempted rape

It was useless.No matter how hard you tried to concentrate you wouldn't be able to finish your book, with Hughie and Annie moaning only one wall away from you.With a sign you threw your damp hair away from your shoulders and rised up from the bed.That's when you could hear a door opening and closing on the floor.

You headed to your door and peeked outside.Kimiko and Frenchie walked soft - footed on the floor to Bucther's and M.M's room, that had the highest distance from Hughie and Annie.They noticed you and gave up a helpless grin before gestured you to come with them.You needn't be told twice.Your grabed your stuff and sneaked off to them, before the knocked lightly on the door.

After some arguing with M.M. you offer to give him your Netflix, with some downloaded episodes of a specific series and you all got inside finally.Kimiko and Frenchie watched some TV together on the couch, M.M. watched your nextflix and Butcher was still taking a shower.Even though it was way more quiet and peacefully than in your room.

Some minutes later Butcher came back from the shower.You didn't look up, even when he showed his annoyance.

,,What the fuck?What are you all doing here?'' asked he in disbelieve.

,,Annie and Hughie are a bit occupied and we don't need to hear that plus I need to get that done.'' you said when you eventually looked up from your book and showed it up.

,,How old are you?I bet you Hughie won't take this long.'' Butcher said with a smirk.With an not so unimpressed smile you just took your gaze from him.

,,Didn't seem that way.But sure I would also be totally in the mood in this hotel.'' you said starting to get into a rather more serious attitude,

After that you tied your still damp hair up into a straight bun and took your glasses, that worked as a bookmark for you to put them on.

,,What's going on now?'' asked Butcher a bit confused.

,,Its just a bun and some glasses, relax.'' you said irritated.

,,Y/N since when do you need glasses?'' asked Frenchie.

,,I don't need them.My eyes are just fine.Those are magic glasses so I can see everyones bullshit.'' you said with a smile and stood up from your chair.

,,That would explain why she sucks at aiming.'' said Butcher to Frenchie.

,,I'll need my phone for half an hour.I have my book club soon.'' you said to M.M. overhearing Butcher with an eyeroll.

,,You dressed up for that?'' asked Frenchie.

,,I like to discuss about literature.And the best way I can be a smartass in that is with those glasses.Butcher has his hawaii shirts, Frenchie has... also glasses!You know something to give you a feeling off... I don't know what ever you might need in that moment.'' you said, getting a weird smirk from Butcher.

,,So?'' asked M.M. Who sat in a corner of the room, the display well hidden from everyone else.

,,We have it always online.I need my phone for that.'' you said getting back to the topic.

,,Well good luck with that, the internet connection is dead here.Why do you think I took your offer.'' M.M. said.

,,Oh please no.'' you said in dissapointment when M.M. showed it on your and his phone to proof himself right.

,,Alright I'll be downstairs calling my friend, maybe she can bring some points up for me.'' you said but not giving up on your glasses.Maybe I can listen if the coast is clear yet.'' you said and walked outside.

To your misfortune Annie and Hughie still seemed to be buys.Downstairs you threw some coins into the old phone and called your friend.

,,What the hell was that?You have read it right?... sure its a drama but we're also not so unsuprised whenever we manage to fuck up.So listen you have to bring up some points up for me...'' you started your call and spend as much time  at the phone as you could affort.

You haven't noticed, that only a second after you had left the room, Butcher had followed you down to get something from the soda machine and had stoped now only some meters away from you.You also haven't noticed how he had listened to all your aspects about the book, all rather excited than harshly , like you wanted to be.He got lost in his thoughts after he recognised how cute you scratched your heel with your shoe, and how he could hear out your smile, even though you had your back turned to him.

,,Is that how it sounds like, when you kick some ass?'' asked Butcher, when you had hung up and turned around.

,,Only if they are my friends.'' you said.

,,Explains why you're not that easy with me sometimes.'' he said with a smirk.

,,Trying to escape the friend zone huh?'' you asked teasingly but almost immediately regret it.Not because Butcher reacted in a certain way, more because you were always unsure where the boundaries between the two of you were.

You removed your glasses and got ride of your tight elastic.

,,Oh no Y/N?It was you the whole fucking time!''  Butcher said in his annoying voice was full of sarcasm.

,,Shut it.I meant that earlier.Sometimes I believe in that.I wrote my best works and read my hardest texts with those glasses.'' you said.

,,So whats wrong with my shirts?'' Butcher asked when he stoped you from entering his room.His high stature caged you in inside the doorframe.You turned around.

,,Nothing... You just wear them quite a lot, thought this might has a meaning.'' you said, shrugging your shoulders, almost high enough to cover your warm cheeks from his gaze.

,,Come on Y/N what the fuck should they stand for?'' asked Butcher.

,,I don't know I’ll leave that open for you, but I think you look amazing in them.Don't let yourself become insecure about them.Just like Hughie said you would make an excellent starring in the matrix porn version.'' you added teasingly to get that look from him you liked so much.

His body pressed you against the doorframe while he gave you his daring smirk.

,,How was that?'' he asked.You couldn't help but giggel in this situation, but you repeated your words nevertheless.After a long moment, you two just spend smiling and enjoying the uncommon nearness, you shoved him softly away from you.The feeling if lightness faded away.

With some hesitation Butcher stoped in his movement and opened one of his buttons of his shirt.You gave him a irritated look.

,,I got this from Becca.It shows St. Christopher and it... protects me, mostly.And sometimes even prevents me from being a total psycho.Not sure I guess that's something I need to wear.'' he said.Your heart melted and sank a bit at the same time but nevertheless you appreciated the fact that Butcher shared this with you.

,,That's very sweet.Thanks for letting me know.I knew I couldn't be alone with that believe.'' you said coming back to the original topic but than again not.,,If you need someone to talk to I'm here by the way.'' you added with more empathie now, when you started to miss this weightless feeling.

You both looked at each other but didn't say a word.It felft like something had to be done or said and you almost had the impression it would come right now, when Butcher made a step closer to you and took a deep breath.With stoped heartbeat you watched him closly.But before something could happen the door of his appartment opened up and Frenchie walked awkwardly between the two of you.

When he realised where he stood, your three shot each other weird faces.

,,Uhm... pardon?Just wanted to look if Annie and Hughie...you know..'' Frenchie said.

,,Not quite yet.'' you said and walked back inside the room.

,,Now thats how you stay in the friendzone.'' said Butcher almost in a whisper in your ear before keeping his distance from you again.

,,That did not come from me!'' you added in your defense giving him an unsure smile, also in an almost whispering voice before sitting down on your chair again.

This part of Butcher was like a blank space, that came up now and than and took the easiness away you valued so much.But maybe it was supposed to be like this.

Even after half an hour Annie and Hughie seemed to be asleep no one of you left the room due to the new topics that came up when M.M. and Frenchie started to discuss about every possible thing they didn't had in common.After some long talks and laughs you decided to go to sleep.

The last thought you had on your mind, when you laid back in your bed again with the blanket raised to your nose due to the cold air in the room, was how Butcher had looked at you that evening and how he wished you a good night, when Frenchie and Kimiko were out of hear sight.

You woke up again after some time when you thought you could here footsteps from somewhere coming nearer.But afterall it was a hotel, hearing someone was nothing unusual.Almost back in your dreams, a sudden feeling of your blanket vanishing and a hand on your back made you panic.The grip on you pushed you down in the matress when you wanted to turn around to see who stood there.In that brief movement only black clothes and a helmet that laid on the ground were visible.

,,You're the bitch without superpowers You're going nowhere.'' the man behind you said.A second hand shoved your shirt up while he tried to turn you in his grip.You gathered up all your strenght and fought against him, when wanted to adjust you while getting ride of his pants.The moment you realised what that would mean for the rest of the group, when Vought was here, made you panic even more.You started to cry out for them, already scared that something had happened to them and that no one would come.

You eventually made one successful kick, that helped you bring yourself up and punch the guy properly.But just before you could run away to warn the rest, the soldier managed to be faster than you and brought you back to the ground.

You let out an furious cry as he had his hands on your panties and fought back.But despite your high amount of anger your couldn't get rid of him.

Just in time the door of your room opened up and Butcher stood infront of you.You had heared his call for you and some shots from outside, signaling you that at least the rest had realised that you had some company.

The Soldier freezed in the moment, when Butcher gazed at him deadly.Before you could even stand right next to him, Butcher had shoved you behind him and crossed the small distance to the man and started to smash his head into the ground.

You couldn't say if the man was by now unconscious or dead, you just couldn't look at the scenarion when Butchers fist got covered in blood.You called him by his name.Twice, but he wouldn't stop.

,,Billy!'' you said, now standing right behind him and even reached for his hand to stop it from the next punch.

He finally looked at you, now back again from wherever he has been.

,,Its okay.He can't hurt us anymore.Come on lets get out of here.'' you just said and held him by the hand.

,,What the fuck was that?'' you heared Hughie say, when you and Butcher walked to the open doorframe.Due to your lack of clothing he offered you to stay behind him.

,,No fucking idea.Lets get out of here.'' Butcher said and walked back to his room.

Only some moments later you headed to the cars, while Annie and M.M. still tried to first get to know how Vought could find you, the rest and especially Butcher had no interest in doing that.You had no opinion you were just torn in the moment.You decided to have a last look in the hotel instead of starring down on your broken glasses.They got distroyed during your fight.

,,Wait.'' you said loudly to stop Butcher and Annie from arguing.

,,Its not Annie's fault that they could find us.Vought must have known where we were from something different.There were so many hotels we had passed on our way plus they got in my room first.So they must have taken the fire escape staircase.Why would they do that?Because they came from here.'' you said pointing along the way from where their Van stood to your place where your cars stood, hidden behind a vance.

,,And why would they came to this place instead of just taking the main entrance and start their search the west angle parallel as well.''

,,Cause they are fucking stupid?'' asked Hughie still not awake enough for all this shit.

,,No because those cunts try to outsmart us.'' Butcher said, knowing what your final idea was and went to the cars to search for something.

It turned out that Vought had managed to put a gps tracker on your two cars.The group was relieved, with them still hidden in your cars,Vought might have known the place of your hideout this night.The tension went down a bit and everyone got into the cars.Frenchie peted your head, remarking your cleverness even without the glasses on.You just gave him a tired smile before sitting down.

It was almost morning when you finally reached the hideout.Everyone was exhausted and just wanted to have some proper sleep.

Butcher approached you carefully when he saw you still sitting stiff on the couch.At first the feeling of the moving material underneath you due to Butcher's approaching, almost triggered the panic inside you again.But you held onto the fact that not every nearness was bad.Maybe the right one ,was even exactly what you needed right now.

You slowly turned around to face Butcher, you both exchanged an unsure glance before you let yourself drop into his embrace, holding on to him, one of the last remaining good things in your life.

,,You need something?'' you heard Butchers muffled voice.His lips were pressed onto your scalp when he had shoved you carefully closer to him.You just shook your head in response.When you briefly opened your eyes when you recognised his missing necklace, that you would normally feel on your cheek,whenever you held each other.

When your eyes met again, he seemed to have read your thoughts.But said nothing.

,,I haven't thanked you yet for saving me.'' you said to say something.

Butcher shook his head.

,,No worries.I'm just lucky I heared you.'' said Butcher.,,I was still awake.''

,,How come?'' you asked.

,,Way too many things in my head right now.'' he said.He paused for a moment.,,You also saved me back there.Without you I would maybe still be there.'' Butcher said looking down at his chuckles after he had taken back his arms from you.

,,It's okay.'' you said reassuringly.,,Sometimes things happen that let us lose control.''.You knew Butcher was deep down a good person, despite his vice.

,,This fucking cunt touched you.Almost like -.I'm sometimes fucking pissed whenever this happens.Escpecially when you give me this look afterwards.'' he admitted.

,,What look?'' you asked.

,,Like you're fucking scared of me Y/N.'' Butcher said in frustration.

,,That's not true.I'm only scared of the chance I'll lose you one day completely due to all this sick shit. I think there is a really soft heart beneath all those punches, cocky smiles and partly good lies.'' you said with an tired smile, only cause you didn't dare to be more confident.

His familiar smile curled up on his lips.

,,Only partly good?'' he asked.

If there wasn't something unfamiliar in his eyes, that gave your heart a wave of warmness, you would have taken another example.

,,All those little excuses to be with me.Like tonight when you brought yourself something to drink.M.M. had bought a dozen water bottles before entering your room, he always does this, I noticed that.You just seem to be around me for no good reason, you know. I can see everyones Bullshit.Even without my glasses I guess.'' you said and showed him your glasses, that got destroyed in the fight earlier.

,,Right.Maybe that's why I don't want that necklace anymore.'' said Butcher.

,,Butcher...'' you had no idea how you were suppossed to react to this.

,,I thought it stops me from becoming completely a monster but when you had stoped me back there I had finally something different that helped me.'' he said like a confession.

,,I don't want it anymore.This thing cages me in sometimes keeps me away from you.'' said Butcher but reached into his pocket to have a look on it.

Despite your already sentimental conversations in the past, you have never seen Butcher like this.So torn and painfully honest, that it would hurt him instead of others.

You weren't sure if you understood him right.

,,I mean I can still be a total smartass even without my glasses.'' you said, your words were filled with exaggerated confidence before you became more sentimental again.,,And if I can be that without my glasses, you can be sane and safe without this necklace.Or with... I won't mind.'' you added carefully.

Butcher looked up to you.His eyes shined slightly in the dim lights.

,,And same goes for me.I'm here for you if you want me to...Cause I like having you with me as well.'' you said.Your hand slowly approached his hand, that still held the necklace.

Only a second later you found yourself back into his embrace.It took you a moment before you could savour that moment, because you had feared another reaction, maybe more distant.

,,Thats all I need.'' said Butcher.

You could feel how his hands cuped your frame to have you even closer to him, while his necklace losely fell between your two bodys.
