#now im hungry for Thanksgiving sides.....

[coiled-dragon]

Im aussie and got interested in thanksgiving food this year and thought i'd have a crack at making a meal. What are some of your fave thanksgiving dishes and foods?

I love getting this after some of the other asks ive been getting ♥ hello Aussie Anon~!

HMMMM My favorite Thanksgiving dishes... Im a sucker for a good turkey with stuffing tbh!! Im suuuuch a slut for stuffing (which is also called 'dressing'? I dont necessarily know if there is a difference, both are made with bread, broth, aromatics and herbs, my family also would have diced onion and I thiiiink celery? in ours? idk I love it. BEST Savory side dish!!!)

After moving to Texas my in-law family also introduced me to casserole items that... well they're not EXCLUSIVE to Thanksgiving but I really fucking love them... Broccoli Cheddar Casserole (name is deceiving, its primarily rice and cheese with Some Broccoli LMAO) and Green Bean Casserole (green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and topped with french onion crunchie bits OMNOMNOM...)

both are SO SO good,,, raaaaa

.... man im a slut for side dishes!

To recap: Stuffing, Broccoli Cheddar Caasserole, and Green Bean Casserole are my favorites, and yeah some white turkey meat is pretty baller, too!

I'll also tell you an extra I liked, but its from my culture up in French Acadian Territory (aka, Maine and New Brunswick, Canada lol): Sugar Pie or Tarte Au Sucre. If you look specifically for an Acadian recipe, follow it, you will have an amazing sweet desert. Dont cut it into 8 slices, cut it into 16, it is VERY SWEET but its. The epitome of my childhood growing up. It was for Thanksgiving + Christmas, but worth shouting out.

Bruno finds Thomas dead in their home.

cw: major character death. graphic descriptions of a corpse decaying. mentions of cardiac illness. bruno refers to thomas' residual limbs as nubs 1x or 2x (this character is ok with it tho).

nb: im actively learning french so pls kindly correct my mistakes.

It's recycling day.

Bruno's familiar with certain human concepts, though it was centuries since he's been one--the holidays, festivals, feasts. He distinctly remembers Kenneth telling him about the traditions of l'États-Unis moderne: Thanksgiving feasts, trick-and-treating, an entire day spent sharing candies and chocolates taken from the Saint of Valentine (so many days set aside just for eating! he wishes he could visit such a wonderful place), and the superb bowl of roses that seemed, to him, something like their way of beckoning the end of winter.

He is certain, though, they couldn't compare to recycling day.

Elsee had arisen him early that day, startling him from his trance with frenetic rapping on the window of their bedroom. A clot of ferals milled around it, pawing at the joints in the wood, digging their fingers into the cracks and nibbling the chunks of mortar they yank loose. Bruno narrows his thoughts into a needle and strikes, an opalescent waver sprouting from his skull and whipping through thin air, lancing through the clot. They scatter, hissing and growling, screaming back at him in their own minds fuck you fuck you we are HUNGRY fuck you and the sound echoes in the well of his brain like the clanging of a church bell.

Beside him, Thomas huffs and shuffles deeper under the comforter.

Elsee!--stop them; they are eating our walls.

Come o-o-o-on, it whines. It's shrill and pierces Bruno's brain. Gonna eat 'em. Gonna eat your whole house. It starts slapping weakly at the glass. Despite the bastard tone it's taking Bruno can sense the desperation, the panic. Elsee is so hungry. The Unflesh fear not just the humans but also their own bellies.

"Minou," Thomas moans, rolling to his side and pulling the covers over his head. "Make 'em go away."

His voice still has that catch in it, that tremble. His words are thick and his breath comes in hoarse rattles. He's been sick for three days, now--a flu, perhaps, or an infection. He wouldn't say. Only asked that Bruno leave him be when he said so. Bruno lays a hand on his sweaty forehead, cards his fingers through his red-gold curls. Settles himself, hones his thoughts to a pin and sticks himself down the center and nails himself in place. At once the feelings of his fellows evaporate; everything vanishes, his vision tunneling to a single blue-eyed, fair-skinned point.

Yum, yum. Pepperleaf wood. Elsee peels a splinter out of a board and nibbles it like a French fry. Spicy house. Tommybaby's gonna be sad we had to eat your house.

Mon ami, sil vous. You can leave without me this once. Can't you? He brushes his thumb over Thomas' ashen cheek and watches his eyelids flutter. He coughs, a miserable hacking sound. Pity seeps into him like he's been draped with wet wool. Poor Thomas; what an awful flu.

Poor Tommybaby. Poor us. Poor Elsee, it gets no trash and no garbage and will starve. Crinkleback says--and here it begins slavering, scraping at the sill, an irritating beast--Crinkleback says Lord Hand-on-dick passed some new law. No more surface dumps. All comes down for us now.

That--does bring him pause. How many dead, human and antisoul both?--hundreds of millions? More? The thought of so much refuse makes him shudder; his tattoos wriggle, sprouting shoots and buds that swell and burst and ripen into shiny, heavy fruits--medlars, peaches, fat ears of corn with kernals like fists. Is that really all for them now? For what reason? Bruno douses the suspicion blooming within him and chooses to focus on the bounty.

Show me.

Immediately there's a wash of feeling as his mind links with Elsee's: the sharp pangs of hunger boiling in its belly, the background fear all Unflesh feel, the faint wants of the far-off moonsick ferals that gradually strengthened as his connection did until, with a discomforting ripple that turns briefly his skull to jelly, he became one with his fellows and for a horrifying second he had ceased to be Bruno at all, felt nothing but the need to run and the vicious fear of La Famine and the curiosity--there was a human in his bed, warm and alive and full of blood with soft pink lungs endlessly drawing breath--

And then it passed, and his soul solidified, and all he could hear was the excited chirping of Elsee as it mentally displayed the bounty being dumped down the Grand Doline and falling through hundreds of miles of darkness to land in the detritus fields: fruit and vegetable peels and old papers and and bottles both glass and plastic; broken scraps of surface-world industry, commercial robots soaked in rich-smelling motor oils, small home objects like his petit's miniature-wave cooker and his mixer, all held in shiny, sweet-tasting bags that stretched like taffy and melted deliciously in his mouth. The images are warped and malformed--Elsee must have been terribly excited to have such a poor recollection--but it's enough to make Bruno's stomach flip.

You like?

He does. Terribly so.

But--ami, I can't. Thomas is ill.

So what? There's shittons of humans. Fuck a healthy one.

With a flick of his ears a torrent of his thoughts spill from his brain and slam into Elsee's chest, sending it crashing into the dirt with a cacophonous screech. Thomas jolts, sitting straight up in bed, chest heaving under his thin singlet. When he sees the Unflesh outside his window he draws the covers up over his chest and crosses his arm, grimacing. His fingernails dig into the skin of his breastbone there so tightly they leave red crescents behind. "The fuck was that?"

"It--nothing, abeille. Please, rest. It is only my fellows. We--we are hungry," he says slowly. As if ashamed.

"So go eat, cher. Ain't no fuckin' fun right now anyhow." He gives a wan smile. His moustache is unkempt and several days of beard growth long since turned his sideburns into misshapen blobs. His grip has relaxed; his hand comes up to idly rub his jaw, his neck. Is he mad?--Bruno senses something like a…a wobble in his heart's normal rhythm. "Look at me. You been sittin' vigil for days and I'm still here. Go out and have fun."

"Are you mad? Petit, it is so dangerous here, and you are so sick--my fellows come and go all day, what if we hurt you by mistake? You are human--tu es fragile--"

Thomas gives him a hateful glare that chills the room several degrees.

"Désolé," he says quickly. That had been one of the things le thérapeute had warned him on--coddling him. "I only-- I want to keep you safe." Bruno smiles. "I ate yesterday." I'll be alright.

Well, I will NOT, and the noise of it is so loud and sudden he flinches.

Thomas notices. Before he can ask the question: "Elsee is--it is very angry this morning."

"All the more fuckin' reason to head out, then, huh?" Now it's his turn to cut Bruno off--"Minou, you 'member what I told you? 'Bout goin' when I asked?" He flops back onto the bed. His breath catches when he does. "All I'm gonna do today is sleep anyhow."

Is it wrong to be excited?--he already feels himself beginning to shiver.

"I--you are serious, ma crevette?"

"As a--I--yeah, minou. I am."

(Later, he'd think of the way his face changed, the flash of agony. The fear.)

\\\ /// \\\ /// \\\ ///

The detritus fields had been ripe with treasures. They took the six mile journey at a sprint, racing each other, screeching with joy, clots of Unflesh breaking off from their groups at the sight of running and, madly, instinctively, darting through the ink-black tunnels after them. The cave walls echoed with chirps and chatters, the karst slick and pearly with moisture from the thick heat of Hannick City's heart pumping electricity up through the rocky earth and into the tall leafless trees Thomas called utility poles.

Within thirty minutes Bruno, Elsee, and the forty or so zombies they'd collected as they ran had carved out a little spot for themselves, nestling among a towering pile of cardboard boxes reeking of cured meat and grease. He'd eaten his cardboard strips and watched the millions of his fellows dig through the trash, picking through piles of garbage as tall as buildings. Some scrapped over who got the most fruit peels or who had more printer ink than the other; a couple had drawn blood with the ferocity of their fights. The entire chamber was a deafening blast of squalling, screeching--among the more intact Unflesh, actual speech--and the air was so dense and hazy with thought Bruno had found himself more than once thinking with someone else's brain by mistake.

Some hours had passed before they'd all eaten their fills (Bruno alone had had eleven of those delicious boxes, as well as several tin cans and six peaches--completely fine except for some bruising and webbing near their stems. It maddened him what people would dispose of--all the more for them, he'd supposed.)

It wasn't until Elsee and Spinach were walking him home that he remembered--Thomas. His chest bucks, a sick facsimile of a heartbeat. He'd been gone nearly four hours.

He waves them off before they can get within a few miles of their home, watching them gallop off into the darkness of the tunnels. Guilt pools and burns in his stomach like he's sipped acid. How was he doing?--had his nap helped? was he hungry? Bruno was a miserable cook but perhaps he could trade some of the cardboard snacks he'd taken in his pockets for human food. A soup, perhaps. Bruno has been dead for several centuries but even he remembers the healing warmth of a hot broth in an uneasy stomach.

Bruno is still fiddling with his cardboard--dividing it up (rather selfishly) into enough strips to be tempting but not so many that he won't have anything for himself later--when he comes upon his front door. Locked; he twitches his ear, flicks out a single needle-thin waver, slips it into the lock and listens to the soft sounds of tumblers.

He freezes.

All he can hear is the tumblers.

Where is Thomas?--he hates the silence. Fears it so greatly he will sleep with a radio blaring simply to not be alone in the quiet, no matter how groggy it makes him the next morning. Why is nothing playing? No music, no sounds?

Bruno pushes the door open.

The house is dark. A faint hissing noise floats towards him from the back of the house.

He relaxes; he didn't realize how tense he was until his shoulders drop and he laughs, a nervous guttural sound like gravel rattling in a tin. He's taking a shower. After three days stuck sick in bed, that's the first place he'd go, too.

Well--surely he wouldn't mind some company?

Bruno makes his way down the hall, making sure to slam the door and call out Thomas' name (the last thing he wants is to frighten him) before he does. When he gets to the washroom door he slips his jacket off and lets the fabric puddle on the ground, the air hot and heavy on his skin. His tattoos are writhing and growing uncontrollably, lashing with excitement, making his skin itch; a cluster of purple lupines and tree orchids explode into bloom on his belly and their seeds burst forth in a torrent (obscenely, he thinks, and cringes).

"Thomas?" he calls out, knocking. He rubs at the place on his stomach where the lupines grew and forces them down. It's difficult to control his tattoos, but not impossible. "May I come in?" (Of course he can, but--c'est courtois.)

There's no response. Not even his customary answering knock on the tin walls of the shower.

"Thomas?"

"Abeille."

"Petit, are you alright?"

A moment passes before he opens the door.

It's absurdly normal inside. So much so that when Bruno walks up to the shower and draws back the curtain he stares dumbly at where Thomas' head should be before he can manage to look down at the metal floor of the shower and see

him

laying

in a tangled heap on the floor and his eyes are half-lidded, death-dulled and sunken deep in his skull, lips blue and parted and coated in a thin sheen of watery bile. His hair is dry and matted; half of him is out of the stream of water and the skin there is rapidly turning the wax-color of a corpse.

"T--Thomas?"

Thinks, stupidly: Why would you play such a horrible joke?

He reaches out; there's a sickening ripple as his tattoos rush up and over his chest and down his arms and crowd his palms. Bruno touches his face.

A spike of pain screams through him--it's empty, it's completely empty, there is no thought in him at all--and instantly he's diving under the icy spray, dragging his limp

(it is not a corpse)

form out of the shower and laying him flat on the floor, pressing his ear to his chest, and when he hears nothing there he simply freezes. The scarred skin on the nubs of his arm and leg are puckered and wrinkled from the water and his eyes are cloudy grey. He must be freezing, but he's so still. He can hear himself saying his name, over and over, stroking his face and his damp hair with shaking hands, like a chant, some prayer that will bring him

(not back; he's fine, what's there to come back from?)

to full wakefulness.

"N-non," he whines, an involuntary keening sound like a whipped dog. "Non, ab--abeille, petit, please--"

He shakes his shoulders. Bruno's fingers sink deep into the skin and he shudders, nauseous, head spinning, watching with wide-eyed horror as a wodge of his flesh deforms and melts, peeling off his shoulder and clinging to his wet palms like clay. His vision blurs.

"Dieu, fuck! Thomas, please," he says, sucking in breaths so deep it makes his chest burn. "P-please--this isn't funny, Thomas, Tommy," he sobs, "please--w-wake up. S-say--talk, say anything," and his voice is a hoarse rasp, grinding in his throat, and he begs for him to wake up again

and again

and again, for nearly a half-hour--a half-hour on his knees, staring into his petit's blank, empty corpse-face and begging for him to come back until the soreness in his rotting lungs is so severe he can no longer take breath to speak.

The hissing of the shower's spray and the clicking sounds of his crying are the only noises in the room. The spray gentles; soon the water tank has emptied and the room goes silent. Bruno gives out and collapses, lays his head down on his chest; he hears neither the beating of his heart nor the pulsing of his blood and it's so--it's so ugly, it's a disgusting thing--to be so quiet there--he pulls back and buries his face in his hands so he doesn't have to see the depression he'd left, the way his ribs had bent in like reeds--hear the sound of it--he quails, moaning.

"Thomas."

The word hangs in the air like a spider's thread, fragile and useless.

He should have been here.

If he'd been here, he could have helped.

This wouldn't have happened if he'd been here. There are hospitals--even down here, in the caves, there are doctors, clinics--he didn't even ask if Thomas wanted to go, he didn't--do anything, nothing at all for him--

He'd run off and left him to die alone.

It comes to him so suddenly he flinches, closing off his brain lest one of his fellows was near.

It--he'd left him.

The look on his face as he'd been going--that single second of panic--why hadn't he noticed until now? What had he said to him before leaving? What was the last thing Thomas heard?

Surely not what he wanted. Needed.

He sinks down, inches as close as he dares and rests his head near the remnant of Thomas' right arm. The hairs there tickle and it's so familiar, comforting, he nearly screams.

A pop echoes through the room. He roughly gestures towards the shower with a snarl, a waver snapping out and turning the handle so violently it snaps off at the joint and clatters to the floor. But it sounds again and he turns, head swivelling. The noise is colossal--God cracking his knuckles.

It's coming from Thomas.

Mute from horror, eyes so wide they sting, Bruno watches.

Thomas' belly bulges out in a nightmarish imitation of a woman quickening, fat swollen lumps welling under his skin, his body bloating, skin browning; his stomach doubles, triples in size before a torrent of foamy white-green liquid froths out of his mouth, eyes, ears, and the corpse-bile spilling from him soaks into Bruno's jeans and he screams. It reeks of cadaverine, the stink of dead flesh--he gags, stomach constricting painfully, scuttling backwards until he slams into the far wall, whimpering. He has to bite down on his wrist to stop himself.

His stomach caves in on itself. His ribs collapse. He's--he looks--like one of them. A rotten body, waxen skin stretched tight over the bone.

It's silent again. Only the quiet trickling of bile dripping from his face to the tiled floor.

"T-Thomas--?"

His body lifts its arm.

The skin there, purple and mottled with blood, withered to the bone--reforms. Fleshes out, thickens. Old dead flesh dribbles off in rivulets as new knits together, a golden sheen covering him; patches of his body shine and gleam like precious stones and from those spots blood and warmth flow freely, coursing through him. The scars at the end of his limbs and the ones etched into his skin stiffen and split as his body reforms, fresh scar tissue flooding the gouges left behind; in a moment they're shiny-pink, new.

Bruno scrubs his hands over his face, laces his fingers behind his head. This is--not happening.

He's--he was poisoned. It's happened before, dozens of times. The trash--it always has hemocides or bleach or foul-tasting chemicals mixed into it, to hurt them, kill them--this time it was something--else.

Thomas' body jerks like a marionette, a crazy dance, arm and leg twitching, hand curling into a claw and scraping at the wall. His chest bucks as his organs reshape themselves, bones cracking and snapping into place; after a few dreadful minutes the only movement is the swell of his breast rising and falling as he draws in breath after ragged breath. Even his face pinks up, takes on a healthy glow. The ashen cast is gone. He looks--healthy.

Like he was never sick. Never dead.

Cautiously, Bruno relaxes himself. Lets his brain wander, feel.

Energy.

He crawls forward, reaches out with a shaking hand and taps Thomas' cheek.

"Mm--quit. Quit it. 'M sleepin'." He makes to roll over and when he feels only his own nakedness he startles. He gives Bruno a look so wounded, so hurt, he feels it like a knife in him. "Oh, fuck, minou--"

"Y-you--you were dead," he says numbly.

For four blinks, there is silence. Thomas' face crumples.

"B-Bruno, cher, I'm--Bruno, I'm so sorry." He flails, shifts himself to a sort of half-sit, and leans forward on his intact leg as far as he can without toppling. He wraps his arm around Bruno, nearly in his lap. He's warm. Alive. Bruno lays a hand gently on his back and feels the blood rushing under the skin there; he feels hot tears splashing against his chest as well. He hugs him tighter.

He doesn't say anything. Why bother?--who cares? He's alive. If he tells himself it was only a hallucination, some horrible waking nightmare--couldn't it be? He's alive.

He holds Thomas while he cries, his shoulders trembling.

Bruno is shaking, too.

"Thomas--cher abeille, please--is this...." He swallows hard. "This is--real? You are alright?"

Perhaps he tries to say something. Thomas gasps, chokes on his own sobs. Bruno cups his cheek, brushes the tears away with his thumb, feels the faintest tinge of regret.

"Um--uh, minou, w-we need to--to talk, I think."

[bittybattybunny]

So he's a hungry noodle but with taste? No wonder Hattie convinced him so fast

*sobs on floor* i had a really nice long response typed out and I’m gonna retype it and hope i get it all---

But yeah!!! He was so sick of rotten fish, hunting and the like (hunting takes a LOT of energy and when you are ALREADY hungry as hell it makes it harder. And he could never hunt enough to feel any sort of full) so when this small child who wasn’t afraid of him in the slightest and mostly sassed him, gave him the option of REAL HUMAN FOOD he took the chance.

He’s also kinda a food snob on certain aspects too

This is a snippet from either 9 or 10 (i say that because Im not sure if i can fit everything that needs to happen before hand into the prior chapters)

he gives Eclipse shit for the raw meat thing a lot; because he never wanted to eat meat raw, while she’s over here doing it on whim

“Makes sense.” He nodded, he was still hungry. He frowned, they didn’t have a lot of eggs. And he really didn’t want to eat all of their food. Well. he could. He didn’t care that much.

“What’s wrong?” Eclipse asked, walking in, placing her plate on the floor on top of hattie’s.

“Is that how you wash dishes?” He asked with a grimace.

“No, just a treat for her if she can have it.” She explained, looking at the carton on the counter and the open bacon. She snagged a piece of the raw meat, eating it without much thought, “looks like we need more eggs.” she grabbed a pen writing it on the fridge list.

“What are you doing?!” Snatcher snapped as he processed what had happened.

“What? Adding to the list?” she asked while chewing on the bacon.

“That’s raw!” He reached to take it from her but she dodged around the counter island. He stumbled, whacking his chin on the counter. Crumpling to the floor he glared up, “Are you trying to die young?!”

“If I was going to die young, I would have done it already!” she laughed, swallowing, “it’s fine, it’s smoked!”

“That doesn’t mean cooked!” Snatcher pulled himself off the floor, “how have you not killed your kid?!”

“Mom doesn’t let me eat it raw. She always heats it in the pan. You’ve had her cooking before.” Hattie pointed out as she grabbed the floor plates to put in the sink.

“You’re mad! Both of you!” He snapped as he leaned on the counter. He rubbed his side from his fall, “Honestly! It shouldn’t take I, the Subcon Snatcher! To tell you to cook your food!”

“You really like announcing that huh?” Eclipse rolled her eyes as she reached for another slice only to get slapped away, “Stingy!” she pouted, rubbing her hand.

“It’s my name!” He frowned, fangs sticking out of his lips, as he curled them back in disgust, “I ate raw, half rotten fish and human corpses for 200 years, I’m not going to watch someone who has the option of actual decent food eat something raw!”

“You know some meat is meant to be raw.” Eclipse laughed loudly. It almost sounded like a bark as she did, “Specifically some fish!” She snickered, “Well then. Let's do that!” She clapped, “We can get sushi for dinner!”

“Ooooo.” Hattie grinned, “I bet he’ll like that!” She clapped with her mother excited, “We should get him extra wasabi!”

Eclipse wrinkled her nose, “Why? It’s so spicy...”

“He liked my hot sauce.” Hattie beamed, “So I think he’ll like wasabi too! Or candied ginger maybe?”

“I just want to taste things again. Strong things.” He couldn’t help a small smile himself, getting caught up in the girls excitement, “So what is sushi? Or wasabi?”

Eclipse grinned, squinting as her mouth pushed her cheeks up as she stuck her tongue out, “If I tell you, you’ll say no. So we’ll wait for dinner.”

Snatcher does most of the cooking for the family as well! He loves having CONTROL over his own food! Because it’s the first time he has been able to really do that. As a Prince he often only got to eat his food once it was cold as it had to be poison tested first. He begged Estelle to teach him to cook so he could have something warm now and then. (that’s why he even knows how to cook) He also finds it super fun to experiment with cooking; and his family’s smiles at his food becomes something he’s proud of! he loves cooking as a fun outlet.

He also loses his mind at Thanksgiving and Xmas because of the sheer volume of food and the fact he’s actually allowed to just. Keep eating as much as he wants. (Snatcher turned human again around mid October) It was one of the first times in a long time he was able to actually feel full. Not to mention the excitement of the whole family being there (DJ and Connie, Connie’s Daughters and spouses, his other grandkids, DJ’s brothers and sisters--) He was exhausted by the end but he was also really happy.

Plus once they figured out his birthday from him (His birthday is October 31st btw) Eclipse went out of her way to get a big ass cake with multiple flavor tiers and various frostings and toppings (nothing with chocolate though as she wanted to eat some cake too) to figure what kind to get him the next year (they found out his birthday around Hattie’s on January 17th. For the record Eclipse’s birthday is July 8th)

He wound up deciding he really enjoyed the ginger carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. So it becomes the tradition for his birthday.

He also cried when she brought him the big cake, because it was about getting what HE wanted for HIS birthday. It was the first time he was involved in his own birthday choices (and he was 26 when he became a leviathan---) and it wasn’t made to be a big party or something. She and Hattie were just trying to celebrate HIM and making it another year!

he also forms a good bond with C.C. because he feeds her often to keep her from biting him when he’s a leviathan.

Hattie at one point also tried to get him to do a MukBang Channel on youtube because of how much he always eats but he vetoed that fast.

He also has a really bad issue with junk food. it’s easy to eat so he tends to eat a lot of it. Eclipse forces him to do a lot of house chores because it eats the food budget a lot. They aren’t struggling persay but. She’s also a big eater (huge ass wolf stomach in a 5′11″ woman) so having two huge eaters really costs in food. Also he’s always hungry because his body is trying to fight the curse always. When he’s human he slowly gets better because his curse isn’t as strong; and he does semi split his curse later so it gets even lesser. he still eats like no one’s business though.

Chikara: Kanashimi (1/?)

Ellie wheeler's senior year turned out to be one she would never forget. Now in college, leaving behind the life she grew to love, she did anything but thrive.

If you'd like to be added to the taglist, lemme know!!

Raiting: Mature. Series will contain, violence, death, sexual situations, and bad decisions.

Ellie quietly wandered the halls of Langston, head down, never noticed by anyone and she never spoke to anyone either.  It was just her and her thoughts, her roommate flaked out the first two weeks of fall semester. Not like she ever really talked to the girl. Her day consists of getting up, going to school, homework, dinner, shower, bed. Rinse, lather, repeat, Every day for 6 months.

She tried to keep her mind busy,  she never fully tuned it out. Behind all the math problems and research papers, he was always there like a cancerous tumor sucking the life out of her. she didn't hate it, it was quite the opposite really, she loved it, she needed it to get by the long days and lonely nights.

The night they finally took the brotherhood down, was one of the proudest moments she felt. They watched as Jason was hauled off in handcuffs, a tiny sliver of justice for Kaneko. She said goodbye to Toby, Ximena, even Mona, she knew they would move on from the crew. When Logan said goodbye it stung, she cared a great deal for him. He was the first guy she had ever kissed, or even had feelings for but, he wasn't Colt. From the moment they met, he drove her crazy, he annoyed her to no end and he was a complete jerk but she was drawn to him like a moth to a flame.

She had just finished submitting her final paper to her English teacher when she ran to her dorm room, grabbed her bags and headed to the airport. When she left for the summer program at Langston she told her dad she would see him at thanksgiving. She reluctantly left her car behind, a deal her father and her came to for breaks such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring break, In the summer she would drive home. It was finally Thanksgiving and she couldn't wait.  she pressed the imaginary gas pedal on the airplane floor, secretly hoping it would get her there faster.

The sound of a screaming child filled the cabin, Ellie popped her earbuds in, attempting to drown out the noise. Just a little bit longer,  almost there she kept telling herself. Once they landed, she grabbed her luggage and looked for her dad. She seen him standing in the pick up area holding one of those makeshift signs that read Wheeler. "Dad, you're such a dork." She flung her arms around him. "Yeah, the coolest dork you'll ever meet." He retorted.

They got in the car and made the drive to the house, sure she couldn't wait to be home.  She was looking forward to seeing Riya and Darius, having Thanksgiving dinner at her grandparents, but she had more pressing matters to attend to. They pulled into the driveway and Ellie ran into the house,  flinging her luggage on the bed. She had to play it carefully, not to tip her dad off as to her plans. She came down stairs and like clockwork her dad asked if she was hungry. "Sure thing dad." She smirked, knowing after he ate he would want to take a nap.

"So. Any plans with Riya? She's home from Hartfeld this week." Dad asked as he put the dishes in the sink.  "Yeah we actually made some plans to catch up. Speaking of, can I use your car to see if shes home?" Her dad reached in his pocket handing her the keys "Just be careful, I'm going to take a nap."

Ellie ran up to her room, she flung open her suitcase and changed out of her leggings and baggy t shirt into a pair of jeans and a crop top.

She ran to the car, turning the key as the engine roared to life. It wasn't her car, but it would do.

She made the drive into the city, stopping at where the sideshow was, but nothing was there. She pulled down another street and parked in front of the familiar building. Not much had been done with the burned out shell of its former self, it looked as if time stood still. It was boarded up in attempts to keep people out, she walked around the building until she found a loose board and slipped in. The inside was hardly touched, some sorting had been done, she knew Colt had come back the day he gave her the cactus. There wasn't much left of the place, some debris strewn about, some shells of cars that once sat in the bay. It was clear nobody had been here, and the realization that nobody was coming back began to set it.

She thought she needed to come here, that maybe she would find something other then the burnt remains of the place that changed her, or someone.  The tears began to sting her eyes, so many memories in such a short time. Ever since they parted ways, she felt like a part of her was missing. There was a gaping hole in her heart that ached, she grasped her chest as ler legs failed her. For 6 months she kept her phone glued to her, in hopes someone would just reach out, for 6 months she prayed that someone would come for her, that she wasn't alone, and she meant something to them.

She sat alone on the floor of Kaneko's garage in a heap of ash and soot, crying her eyes out.  They were gone, you're just a tourist ringing in her head.  She was in fact alone, they weren't  coming back for her and it was time to try and move on.

She made her way back home, covered head to toe in the black substance that stained the floors of the garage, much like the stains on her heart. After a long cry in the hot shower, Ellie pulled open her closet door and started to hang her clothes inside when she spotted something tucked away behind her prom dress. She couldn't imagine what it might be, it was larger than any of her clothes. Gripping the petal pink fabric she pulled the dress forward,  giving easier access to the mystery item. Her fingers began to tremble, her nerves on edge as she ripped the clothing hanging in front of it off the hangers and tossed them to the floor reaching her goal item.

Ellie staggered backwards, item in hand.  the backs of her knees hitting the mattress causing her to sit. She stared blankly at the jacket in front of her, Colts leather jacket. How did it get there? She didn't think it was there when she packed for Langston, but could she have missed it?

She held the soft leather to her face, the scent of his cologne putting her immediately at ease. This was all she had left of him, that and the few photos and texts she had saved in her phone. Ellie slipped the jacket on, it was over sized but she didn't care. She placed her hands in the pockets pulling it flush to her body as if it were his arms wrapped around her.  Her fingers brushed against something and she pulled it from the pocket.

She stared down at the folded piece of paper, she recognized the stationary, it was one from her desk. Unfolding it slowly, tears began to well on her eyes in anticipation. His penmanship was far better then she anticipated but she knew better then to expect to unexpected when it came to Colt Kaneko.

Ellie,

If you are reading this that means you have found my jacket in your closet. I am risking everything coming here and sneaking in.   I just needed you to have it, to have something of me with you in this cold, unforgiving world.

Im not good with words, and feelings so im going to try my best. I love you Ellie Wheeler, I probably have since the moment I laid eyes on you at the side show, only I couldn't admit it to myself then.

I know you think that I don't care but leaving you, was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I meant what I said, we will see each other again.   

I watched you give your speech at graduation,  It took everything I had in me not to run out there and kiss you. I am so proud of you valedictorian. And just a little while ago when you drove away for College, I just had to see you if only at a distance. Keeping you safe will always be my priority,  and with the fbi breathing down my back, letting you go was the only way.

Live your life to the fullest Elle, don't cry for me im not worth your tears. Have fun in college, make friends, fall in love. You are amazing and you deserve to be happy. I hope that when our paths do cross again, you accomplished everything you set out to. I think your dad may be home so I have to run. Remember I will always Love you Ellie, even if I can't be with you.

Love, Colt.

She closed the letter, tears streaming down her face as she laid down on her bed. He was at her graduation, and when she left for Langston. She was hurting but she knew she had to move on, and now with his jacket she had a piece of him with her.

Two weeks went by in the blink of an eye, before she knew it she was back at Langston.  She drug her luggage down the long hall to her dorm room, she reached for her key, opening her door she walked into a different room then when she left. The opposite side of the room, once empty was decorated in pink, pink as far as the eye could see. Ellie flung her bags onto the bed, collapsing next to them when the sound of the door opening startled her. She sat up, eyes wide staring at the person in front of her. "Hey roomie!"

[half-bloodcanons]

So im doing a project with a friend that entails me outlining a handful of greek myths and im being a sarcastic asshole because 1. thats how i do work at 4am and 2. we both know the myths so this is really redundant but i need some form of an outline in order to move on. So heres a break down of some of the big myths:

Titanomachy:  Chronus got hungry. Like 6 times. One of them was a rock. Through some bullshit of Chronus is a fucking idiot and possibly drugs he thought the rock was a baby and decided not to persue that matter any more. Decade-somethin later weird dude who strangely looks like chronus shows up and offers him wine and then big C vomits up 5 fully grown children who have never seen sunlight before and then they murder him over 10 years. Some giants in there, 3 asshole draw lots because its a better alternative than strange women lying in ponds.

Prometheus:  Born in cave. Cave dark. Night very scary. Sun not scary. Sun burn. Gods have thing that burn like little sun. Man steal little sun. God angery at man. Man gets his liver picked out on a daily basis for like ever.

Heracles: Its heracles. Hercules for the disney fan. Watch the movie and then pretend Hera is really a raving bitch who wants him dead and Hades is a p chill dude who just wants his dog to go on a walk once in a while. Also zeus got horny. And Herc murdered Meg. And he literally shoveled shit out of a horse pen for a straight 12 hours. And… yah its very different.

Gigantomachy: Backstory: Gaia got pissed at her husband/son so she had her grandkids kill him. Then Gaia got pissed at her grandkids, so she had her great grandkids kill him. Now Gaia is pissed at her great grandkids so she made a whole bunch of new children to kill them. Also cave man here? and Heracles? Like everyone here is an asshole but one of the assholes wants to eat the world so she can sleep so like....same?

Trojan War: Probably best known of the myths? Homer is a jackass like that. Basically Zeus got horny, hera got depressed, a dude named after the capital of france got horny, Eris showed up and did what she does best which is the ancient gods equivalent of politics at thanksgiving. Then all the depressed lady gods go fight over a shiny fruit that they literally can grow a bunch of in their gardens because this fruit aint special to them in any way shape or form other than Eris said pretty. Then the goddess of horny went to french-horny and let him start a war. Also Zeus might have orchestrated this entire thing because the world was so full of people that he couldnt get away with cheating on his wife and that had to stop? Priorities, i guess.

Odyssey:  So man pisses off poseidon because he was cocky. And then takes 20 years to get home when 1. The medeterrainian is very swimable as per modern day man (and Odysseus was fit AF), 2. He had the side of not one but TWO of the most powerful goddesses in olympus. He slept with the pig lady, one dude died for no reason other than comedy purposes, there was a giant who cant see nobody, p sure this is lowkey an ancient greek comedy.

Low Dose T Updates!

This is for the Month 2 updates!

Month 1/Week 1-4

I’m on .4mgs of 100mg/ml IM injection testosterone.

Month 2, Week 5-7

Sorry I forgot to update for a while! Between Thanksgiving break and finals I’ve been really busy. I realized around week 5 that I’d been giving myself the wrong dose (.9mgs) and have just changed it back for my week 6 injection.

-voice dropped significantly at week 5 and has begun to even out, although still sounds more like I have a cold than anything else. My range has definitely lowered and when I speak higher my throat gets sore easily. I found my voice had become more flat in tone as of the drop, and when I’m excited or happy it spikes up. No voice cracks yet!

-bottom growth has reached about an inch and is slightly less sensitive, although I frequently wake up in the morning more sensitive due to the way my thighs can rub against it. I’ve realized I’m really into the growth and have been having more masc gender thoughts due to it

-the horny levels peaked really bad for a few weeks and didn’t let up. Literally I got horny one night and went to bed to try to get rid of it and it never went away. This is mostly how I realized my dose was messed up. As of Week 7 the horny has finally come down and I can function again, but it was really really bad for a few weeks to the point where I considered going to the doctor for meds

-no male pattern baldness or new hair growth from what I can tell

-I’ve started working out every night/every other night as I’ve noticed muscle gains and fat redistribution beginning. It seems like I’ve been losing mass in my thighs and it’s been going to my stomach, but with the exercise my core and arms have started getting more prominent so the fat is disappearing altogether now. Still super minor though, only things I’d notice

-I think the redistribution and working out has also caused my breasts to shrink. I’m not sure if this is an illusion caused by new muscles on my sides/ribs or if I am losing fat there, but either way they’ve definitely shrunk

-I haven’t experienced an increase in appetite or decrease in energy lately so the hungry/horny/tired triad hasn’t begun yet

-I weighed myself during week 5 and was still 130, the same weight give or take 5 pounds since well before I started T. None of the fat/muscle changes have effected my weight yet

Month 2, Week 8

-for the first time in a while I noticed a drop in T levels a few days before my shot which caused some irritability, but nothing major!

-at this point I think it’s safe to say my breasts have definitely shrunk in size, whether that’s from working out or redistribution I still don’t know

-been working out and have noticed muscle size, shape, and strength increases as a result! I’m still weak but even working out a little has given my arms definition and made my core and wrists stronger!

-still no new hair growth or appetite increase

-libido spikes with my shot now instead of being 100% all the time! I’ll be horny for a couple days after and then simmer down to a normal amount for the rest of the cycle

-voice sounds perpetually like I have a cold still but has dropped permanently at least an octave from pre-T! Having cold-like symptoms due to it (sore throat, cough, congestion) but no other signs of cold most of the time so I’m pretty sure that’s just side effects of my voice dropping

-been having weird gender identity fluctuations lately. It’s been affirming to have growth downstairs in a way I hadn’t expected. I’ll have to explore this more but I have read that it’s normal to experience gender and sexuality changes once on HRT, since your dysphoria goes down and you can feel more comfortable exploring things

It’s been an interesting and exciting first 2 months on T! I look forward to the future :D

Why do we Yawn?

Are you hungry or are you sleepy?

Here at Yawnsleep.com, we wanted to find out.

Before going into the nitty gritty, here’s our perspective.

I don’t think I’ve ever yawned and thought to myself, “I must be hungry”. I actually have never felt hungry when I yawn. It’s actually quite the opposite. The only times i find myself yawning due to consumption is in one of two cases:

I just ate a huge meal, think having seconds during Thanksgiving

When I have been drinking alcohol

I actually find that drinking alcohol causes me to yawn a lot more than having a huge meal. It could be that i'm getting older and my tolerance is super low now lol. In those cases I do yawn because Im sleepy. Same goes with heavy meals, but just to a lesser degree.

So let’s rule out yawning due to hunger or alcohol.

On a side note,  I also wear contacts and towards the end of the night they tend to get more dry, my eyes begin to shut little by little, and my vision gets more blurry. At times, this causes me to yawn. My theory is that this is a natural reaction of the body because I find that yawning causes my eyes to water and hence it lubricates my eyes and contacts so i can see clearly again.

But enough of the personal opinion. Let’s see what science has to say about the correlation between yawning and sleepiness.

Let us first define what Yawning is.

Yawning is a mostly involuntary process of opening the mouth and breathing in deeply, filling the lungs with air. It’s a very natural response to being tired. In fact, yawning is usually triggered by sleepiness or fatigue. It is  followed by a slow expiration, associated with a feeling of comfort. The average duration of the yawn is 5 s.

What we have found through research are three possible reasons why we yawn:

An low energy environment that is lacking arousal

A physiological response of the body to cool down our brain

A sleep disorder

Now lets dive a little further into each of these.

Yawning can often be linked with a boring environment/situation in which there isn’t much interaction happening. Examples of this are driving, watching television, sitting in a lecture or studying. More frequent yawning has been associated with viewing uninteresting repetitive stimuli.

A few  studies have indicated an increase in arousal level after yawning. This was measured by an increase in heart rate lasting up to 15 seconds after the peak of the yawn.

Additionally, a caffeine study showed comparable skin conductance between caffeine intake and yawning. A group of 18 college students were given a single oral dose of caffeine and the results were an increase in skin conductance and frequency of alpha waves. Similar results were found in yawning subjects by other researchers. Since caffeine is a well-known stimulant of the nervous system, it was argued that yawning, like caffeine, might also play a role in arousal reflex of the brain.

Essentially, a yawn is the body’s natural way of keeping our homeostasis, i.e. keeping us awake.

Now let’s look into the second reason. A 2013 study published in the International Journal of Applied and Basic Medical Research suggests that yawning may help cool the temperature of the brain.

There’s a few things to suggest this like tearing of the eyes which could be releasing heat from the skull, breathing in cool air which reduces the temperature of the blood vessels in our lungs, and the relaxation and contraction of our facial muscles which increases the facial blood flow which subsequently aids in dissipation of heat through our  veins.

Lastly, excessive yawning could also be a sign of a deeper underlying problem like bleeding around the heart, sleep disorders like sleep apnea or narcolepsy, or the inability of the body to regulate its temperature.

Before considering if you have an underlying issue, evaluate your sleep patterns. If they are irregular and inconstient, that may be the cause. Otherwise you may want to contact your doctor.

If excessive yawning is occuring due to a sleep disorder, consider trying our Yawn Deep Sleep aid. It is an all natural formula for a better more restful sleep that can help treat sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea.

26 is definitely still growing on me. Literally 2 weeks I have been 26 and I'm having a time adjusting to it. From my features to my body, personality, everything about this number leaves an awkward feeling in my conscious that refuses to leave.

I'm anxious af and can't put a pin point on why. My anxiety has been on for weeks now and won't seem to turn off. At first I thought it was just my caffeine intake but after coffee and pop a rest for a few days I've realized the caffeine is only making it worse. I think I'm more so nervous because I can't predict my future right now. Social media (Facebook) irks my last nerve but itsy only alternative right now to keepe occupied. I'm always hungry and as of today I feel as though I've been getting too much sleep.

The level of isolation I'm on is causing conflict with some of my associates (not on my end) and it's getting pretty old. Idk why people feel that they are entitled to my personal space. It's weird really. I've absorbed enough enough energy these past 26 years of my life, mostly negative need I say, so these days I just want to be alone... Enjoy the company of those who actually mean me good.

I'm walking on faith (spending in this case) when it comes to my finances. I literally do not know how I'm going to make it for Christmas and my kids birthdays following 2 and 3 weeks after the holiday BUT I'm trusting in God to provide it for me. Like, Im trying to make school a priority but the way these bills and necessible expenses are rolling in it might have to wait until I can really sit down and save.

Thanksgiving was all love. My son spent with his dad's side but my daughter was home to enjoy the company of mommy's crazy cousins and her uncle's. My baby brother is home from the Navy for a week and from the looks of him he is not a baby anymore. He's bigger than my everybody in my family lol. It just felt good to laugh. Something I haven't done genuinely in a while.

New Year's is approaching and I want to step into it fresh. I plan on getting all of my yearly check ups done before the year end, tying loose ends with unnecessary people and letting go of played out habits. I want a healthier lifestyle in every aspect of my life so if I want to be healthy mentally I have to start physically.

I'm thinking about doing a vision board party for the kids and I. I think that would be something nice to introduce them to. Taking the time to set goals as a family with them rather than setting goals for myself and just including them.

I received some really heartbreaking news the other day that could have really set me back mentally but instead of allowing it to bring back into a black hole, I choose to embrace it and allow it to make me better and stronger. It hurts me to know that people think so low of me sometimes as a person and a mother but I intend to prove them wrong.

I really believe that I am going to go up from here, I think that's the awkward feeling I have but only time will tell so in the meantime I will continue to pray for my day.

✌️♥️

Anon said:  I think he’s a villain in a different way. He’s power hungry, but doesn’t necessarily need or want to do anything Bad to Arendelle. He wants to be the king, and in order to do that he needs to gain their respect.

If we were shown that throughout the movie that he was power hungry and not good and so on so forth, I’d be more willing to believe him as a villain but,,,, 

we’re not.

and we’re given chances throughout the movie where we see him without anna and elsa, we’re given chances where he could have just as easily sided with the duke and turned on them, but instead, he ....doesnt? 

If Disney wanted him to be a power-hungry guy who still wants to be a good king they had chances to show him being that, but instead, he’s a guy who wants to be a good king who....shows that he’s in love with anna & doesn’t really want the throne? Like, it’s really weird that he still defends anna and elsa even when there is literally no one else around besides him,the duke, and the duke’s guards. 

Now, im not saying disney is bad at writing but ----

The whole “twist” of him being the villain didn’t make sense when i was in theaters watching it the day it came out on thanksgiving in 2013, and it still doesn’t make sense to me now in 2021

warnings: anxiety, hints of bad eating habits

enjoy!

Evan pulls off his scarf and hangs it in his locker.

It’s finally snowed.

It snowed a few times before, October is notorious for it’s random snowstorms, but this is the first time this year it’s stuck. It started snowing Sunday morning and almost an inch gathered by mid afternoon. It was pretty light and uneventful, but Evan still made a point to send a picture of a snow dusted tree to Connor. Connor had replied ‘aesthetic’ and sent a picture of a plant Cynthia put in the living room that was mostly just dying.

Evan hangs up his coat and shoves the mittens in the sleeves. November is ending and only now does he really need to wear a coat to school. And take the bus. It’s hell.  

“So this is why you have a locker,” Connor says.

“You have a locker too,” Evan reminds him.

Connor laughs. “No I fucking don’t, not if I can’t tell you which one it is.”

Evan shakes his head. “You’re just lazy.”

“Yes.”

“But if you ever need to hang up a coat you’re welcome to use mine.”

Connor tilts his head. “Ev, what makes you think I’m weak enough to wear a winter coat?”

Evan stares at him. “The fact that tomorrow it’s supposed to be like six degrees out?”

“We die like men,” Connor says simply. He pulls Evan’s spanish textbook out of the locker and hands it to him.

“You die,” Evan says pointedly. “And your hands are freezing.” Evan stuffs the textbook into his bag and zips it shut. “Do you own gloves?”

“Cool fingerless gloves because it fits the aesthetic,” Connor says, wiggling his fingers.

Evan closes the locker. “You’re the worst.”

Connor bumps their shoulders together. “Come on, Ev, admit they’re cool.”

Evan shakes his head. “They really aren’t.”

“Don’t lie to me,” Connor says as he opens the door to the stairwell.

“Do you think I lie to you?” Evan asks, stopping to look Connor in the eye.

Connor stares at him.

Evan holds his breath. He doesn’t lie to Connor. Nothing he does is a lie. The question is will Connor figure that out. And if he does, will he hate him for it.

Connor rolls his eyes. “You just haven’t seen them yet. They’re cool.”

“Whatever you say,” Evan mutters. He starts down the stairs. “Has Jared started yet?”

“Started what?”

Evan opens the door at the bottom of the stairwell and holds it for Connor. “He has your phone number right?”

Connor frowns. “Yeah? Is something horrible about to happen?”

“What’s your definition of horrible?”

“Evan.”

“What?” Evan stops walking. “Don’t you go down?” He nods to the stairs.

Connor shrugs. “Yeah, but I can go the long way with you. What is Jared going to do?”

“Thanksgiving is Thursday,” Evan says slowly.

“Thank god. I don’t know how we’re getting through Wednesday but I’m fucking dying.”

“We have a half day, Connor.” Evan steps closer to him to squeeze past a group of students crowded around a locker.

“Who cares.” Connor looks down at him. “Anyway, what shit is Kleinman up to? And what does Thanksgiving have to do with it?”

“What happens after Thanksgiving?” Evan asks.

“People try to kill each other over jeans?” Connor suggests.

Evan snorts. “I-I mean, yeah, but it’s Christmas—”

“Jared is Jewish,” Connor interrupts. “I’m also Jewish. You’re Jewish.”

Evan glances up at him. “I know. He has this playlist of Christmas songs that he blasts in his car. I don’t know why. But he also has a playlist of Jewish parodies.”

“I’m sorry what?”

Evan sighs. “There’s one that’s called Shalom and he sang it for like a week. Basically, December is Jared’s favorite time of year because he can be an asshole under the guise of being ‘festive��.”

Connor groans. “Please don’t say he’s going to send me links to all these videos.”

“He will. I’m warning you.” Evan pauses. “Uh, this is my stop.” He motions to the classroom to their right.

Connor nods. “Cool. I’ll see you later, I have to go block Jared’s number.”

Evan smiles as Connor walks away and takes a deep breath before he goes into the classroom and sits down.

His pocket is light.

It’s Monday. Connor didn’t pay him today.

Evan rests his chin in his hand and hides his smile.

Maybe Connor just forgot. But it feels nice. Like this is real.

That’s what Evan wants.

“I’ve been talking to Baz,” Alana says, flipping through her notebook as she walks. Evan nods. “I think she might be a good advisor for the club? Students typically feel relatively comfortable talking to her and I know she’s discussed mental health at the beginning of the year before.”

Evan tightens one of the straps of his backpack. “Okay. I, um, we need a name before we talk to her?”

Alana shakes her head. “I think we can just discuss the idea with her, even if we don’t have all the details solidified yet. If she’s against the idea, regardless of the current state of the details, we have to find a new advisor.”

“Oh.” Evan steps away from Alana to let someone pass between them. “Do you… Like… Does it ever feel…not worth it?”

Alana furrows her eyebrows but doesn’t look over to him. “What do you mean?”

“You won’t even be around for the club, n-not really?” Evan shrugs. “It’s…a lot of work for something you won’t be around to see, I guess.”

“Well…” She slows her steps. “I mean, hopefully it’ll start next semester, and if not we can always say we took the step to start a discussion of mental health in the school but…it could help other people?”

Evan’s ears burned. “I didn’t mean—”

“I know you didn’t,” Alana says. “I’ve wondered it myself. There’s no glory in getting the details perfect if you aren’t there to run it, but if we help other people, I think it’s worth it in the end.”

Evan walks up to his locker and puts in the combination. “Y-you’re right, sorry I just— sorry.”

“Don’t be. It’s valid to think about.” Alana taps her nails against her notebook. “Now if only we could come up with a name…”

“A name for what?” Connor asks.

Evan looks up at him in surprise. “Isn’t your next class on the other side of the school?”

Connor shrugs. “Who gives a shit?”

“A name for our club,” Alana says, fixing her glasses. “It has a focus on mental health and starting a conversation about it in our school.”

“This club,” Connor says. He tugs on the strap of his bag. “What are you working with for names?”

Evan and Alana exchange a glance.

“Nothing,” Alana says after a moment. “I was thinking maybe we could have the word ‘project’ in the name, but I haven’t come up with anything that’s stuck. Do you have any suggestions?”

“The Fuck Project,” Connor deadpans.

Evan covers his eyes with a hand.

“We are not calling it the Fuck Project,” Alana says.

“It’ll get people’s attention,” Connor points out.

“Not in a good way,” Evan mutters. He drags his hand down his face and looks at Connor, who’s grinning at him.

“We do need to get this approved by the principal,” Alana adds. “And that name will give people the wrong idea, that is absolutely not what this club is about.”

Connor shrugs a shoulder. “Temporary name, congrats, I helped out.”

“Not really.”

The warning bell rings and Alana glances over her shoulder.

“I should go,” she says, “but I’ll text you about Baz?”

Evan nods. “Y-yeah that’s— okay yeah. I’ll see you later?”

Alana smiles and hurries down the hall.

Connor watches her leave. “Baz?” he asks, raising an eyebrow.

“Um, yeah.” Evan grabs the books he needs and closes the locker with his foot. “We need an advisor and Lana thinks Baz might be willing to help? Have you had her?”

Connor shakes his head. “Baz teaches the CP kids, usually. I’ve been, uh, honors.”

Evan blinks. “Oh yeah, I forgot college prep was a thing. She taught regular english sophomore year.”

“You had her?” Connor asks.

“Uh…kind of?”

Connor furrows his eyebrows. “What do you mean?”

“Bad semester,” Evan mutters. “I, uh… There weren’t a lot of classes I…went to?”

Connor nods. “Got it.”

“Don’t you have class?” Evan asks quickly. His head is starting to spin.

“Yeah, I just.” Connor steps closer and Evan’s heart skips a few beats. “I’m sorry I forgot this earlier.” He presses a bill into Evan’s hand.

Evan closes his eyes.

Right.

Right. Right, of course. Connor just forgot. He didn’t mean anything by it. He’s sticking to the agreement.

Evan feels sick.

He crumples the bill up in his fist. “It’s fine, don’t worry about it,” he mumbles.

“It won’t happen again,” Connor promises.

Evan’s hand feels like it’s on fire.

—«·»—

Jared tosses his bag onto the couch and disappears into the kitchen. “Have you gotten any better about keeping food in your house?” he shouts.

Evan rolls his eyes. “Why do I need t-to buy food when you do it for me?”

Jared leans out of the doorway. “Fuck off, man, you never buy the chips I like.”  

“Exactly.”

Jared glares at Evan and ducks back into the kitchen. “Hungry?”

“Not really.” Evan reaches into his pocket and grabs the ten dollar bill Connor handed to him earlier. “Meet me up in my room?”

“Sure, stealing this chocolate, B-T-dubs.”

“I can’t stop you,” Evan mutters. “Bring up your bag! Don’t leave it on the couch!”

“Don’t tell me what to do!”

Evan leaves Jared to pull apart the kitchen and heads up to his room. He leaves his backpack on his bed and pulls open his closet, pushing aside sweatshirts to get to a shoebox he’s buried. He pulls the ten out of his pocket and stares at it for a moment before he takes the top off the shoebox and puts it inside. Then he covers it back up with his sweatshirts and closes his closet door.

Now he can pretend it doesn’t exist.

When Jared kicks open the bedroom door with popcorn in one hand and chocolate in the other, Evan is sitting on his bed with his laptop open.

“Wow, lame,” Jared says. Evan glances up at him. “I’m kidding,” Jared says quickly. “That’s exactly what I did yesterday.” He drops down into Evan’s desk chair. “How’d you spend your weekend?”

Evan shrugs. “Same. S-some homework and uh…spent Friday with Connor.”

Jared opens his bag of popcorn. “I’ve been fucking dying to know, what have you spent all that money on? Murphy has to have given you a shit ton at this point.”

Evan stares at his laptop screen, rubbing his hands on his pants. “N-nothing yet it just…it feels weird.” He can feel Jared’s eyes on him and feels a panic build in his chest. “It feels weird! It’s just— it’s in a box in my closet.”

“Sweet.” Jared stands up.

“Jared!”

“Okay, okay, yeah, that was kind of dicky.” Jared falls back down into the chair. “I wasn’t going to take it, I was joking. Your money dude, you earned it with your weird uh…situation.” Evan makes a face. “Don’t fucking do that with your face, you know this is weird.”

“Shut up,” Evan mutters. He could go into a coma right now and that would be fine.

“We can start a list of things you could buy with it.” Jared throws a piece of popcorn into the air and tries to catch it in his mouth. It bounces off his right lense and lands on the floor. “I’ll get that later. Anyway. List.”

Evan glances to his closet.

“One, not shitty sneakers. Two, shirts that aren’t polos. Three, so much candy. Four, a video game. Five, multiple video games even, I don’t know how much money you have. Six, something nice for your mom cause you’re a real momma’s boy. Seven, a fuck ton of yugioh cards—”

“Yugioh cards?” Evan interrupts.

“Yes.” Jared throws a piece of popcorn at Evan. “Let me finish.”

Evan shakes his head. “I think I get it.” He closes his laptop and swings his legs over the side of the bed. “You don’t want the money sitting in my closet.”

“No shit.” Jared tosses Evan the chocolate bar. “You can have half. But yeah, you’ve got money, dude, it’s not gonna fucking collect interest if it’s in the back of your closet or anything. You’re spending all this time doing this bullshit job, why not actually use what you get paid?”

Evan opens the chocolate bar and breaks it in half before handing the half in the packaging back to Jared. “I-I already told you. It feels…weird. I don’t know.”

“You know,” Jared says as he takes the chocolate, “this is kind of a sugar daddy situation.”

Evan immediately goes red. “Oh my god.”  

“Minus the sex stuff,” Jared says casually. “And the age difference, cause I don’t think Murphy is that much older you, is he?”

Evan is ready to melt into the ground. Or die. Or both. Both would be perferrable. “Jared, please—”

“Sugar buddy,” Jared says, snapping his fingers. “Connor is your sugar buddy.”

“This is the worst.”

Jared takes a bite of chocolate. “Do you have a better name for this?”

Friendship? Evan wants to just call it friendship. That’s totally not the case but—

“We can call it platonic prostitution if you want.”

“If you say that again I am kicking you out of my house.”

Jared holds up his hands in surrender. “Valid. That is totally valid.”

Evan starts breaking up his half the chocolate bar into smaller pieces. “I just… I don’t know. It’s weird. It’s a weird situation. But let’s not call it…that.”

“Yeah,” Jared agrees. “Fucking weirdass… Kind of regret helping out with it, honestly. It feels like a trainwreck I can’t look away from.”

“Really comforting there, Jared,” Evan mutters.  

Jared spins in the desk chair. “I’m just saying, what started out as a funny ha ha losers thing has gotten decidedly less funny.”

Evan furrows his eyebrows. “What was this funny?”

“Dude, come on, at least the first week was fucking hilarious,” Jared says with a crooked smile. It seems forced, but it’s still there.

Evan grimaces. “It wasn’t.”

Jared loses the smile. “Okay. It wasn’t funny, my bad.”

Evan makes a strangled sound. “Do you talk to Connor?” Some of the chocolate is starting to melt. He pops a piece of it into his mouth.

Jared snorts. “Hell no. We coexist, are you really going to ask more of us?”

“No,” Evan admits. “But if I tell you something, you won’t tell him?”

Jared gives him a weird look. “Tell him?”

Evan stares at him with wide eyes. “You’re already judging me!”

“No I’m not!”

“Yes you are!”

Jared throws his hands in the air. “I don’t even know what I would be judging you for!”

“I want Connor to stop paying me.”

Jared stares at Evan.

Evan’s hands start to sweat and his heart races. He looks down at the chocolate in the palm of his hand and eats it before it can melt any more. He wipes his hands on his pants. Then he wipes them again.

“Yeah, no shit,” Jared says once the silence is too long and too awkward and too uncomfortable.

Evan groans and collapses on the bed. “I just—”

“Want to be friends?” Jared offers.

“Um…yes, but also—”

Jared sits up straighter. “You didn’t.”

Evan pulls on his fingers. “I…what?”

“You’re in love with him!” Jared shouts.

“No!” Evan almost falls off the bed as he scrambles to his feet. “No, I don’t—”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes! It’s just— it’s just a crush oh my god, Jared.”

Jared raises his eyebrows. “You said crush.”

Evan’s face gets hot. “Uh, yeah I— it-it’s not… I mean… I don’t think… It’s not like a big…deal? Or anything?”  

Jared stares at him. “Evan, it’s a big deal.”

Evan laughs awkwardly. “W-we don’t have to make it one.”

Jared squints. “Okay… I still have to kick your ass in Mario Kart. You ready?”

Evan takes a breath. “You’ve never been able to beat me, Jare. Especially since you keep choosing Rainbow Road.”

Jared jumps out of his seat. “Hell yeah I do, I’m going to mop the floor with your blood.”

Evan smiles. “Okay. If you say so.”

—«·»—

Jared loses. He swears aggressively as he reaches for his wallet to buy dinner.

“I hate you,” he hisses as he shoves a box of mozzarella sticks at Evan.

“Thanks,” Evan says. “Let me know when you want a rematch.”

Jared flips him off and grabs his sandwich off the table.

—«·»—

Heidi comes home as Jared is getting ready to leave. “Jared!” she says in surprise as she puts her bag down on the kitchen table. “I had no idea you were coming over.”

Evan and Jared look up from the television.

“Hey, Heidi, just wanted to steal your TV.” Jared tosses his Wii controller onto the couch.

“Your bag is still in my room,” Evan reminds him.

Jared shoots a fingergun at him. “Thanks.”

“Don’t leave on my account,” Heidi says, pulling her hair out of its ponytail.

“Nah, I have homework,” Jared says. “The moms want me home soon anyway.” He checks his phone and makes a face. “Yeah I should go, but thanks for letting me invade your house.”

“Anytime, Jared,” she says.

Jared grabs his bag from Evan’s room and bumps his shoulder against Evan’s as he goes to leave, wiggling his eyebrows.

Evan rolls his eyes. “Shut up,” he whispers.

Jared mimes zipping his lips. “See you tomorrow in hell.”

When Jared is gone, Evan finds his mom doing the dishes in the kitchen. “Can I help?” he asks.

She holds out a pot. “Dry and put away?”

Evan nods and takes it from her.

“It’s nice that you’re hanging out with Jared again,” Heidi muses. She washes a cup and sets it aside for Evan.

“Hm?” Evan dries off the pot and puts it in the cabinet next to the oven.

“You and Jared. You haven’t really spent a lot of time with him lately.”

“Oh.” Evan grabs the cup. “He’s been over. We…hang out and stuff.”

“That’s great.” She smiles at him. “It’s good that you have a friend.”

“Friends,” Evan corrects quickly, feeling guilt twist his stomach. He should be better at this. This friend thing. He should be making more progress than he has.

Heidi looks at him in surprise. “You’ve never mentioned anyone else before.”  

“Uh, yeah.” Evan keeps his eyes on the dishes he’s drying. “Connor.” He says it and then tries not to think about it. “And um…Alana?”

“Oh!” Heidi puts down the dish soap. “Well that’s great! We should try to have dinner with them sometimes.”

Evan ducks his head. “Mom.”

“I want to meet your friends!”

“I— uh…okay, I’ll um, ask them about it.” Evan decides he should never speak again. He keeps digging his holes deeper and deeper.

Evan talks with Connor by his locker. He walks with Connor in the halls. He smiles and laughs and pretends his chest isn’t constricting.

Connor looks at him and sometimes it feels real.

The ten isn’t in Evan’s pocket anymore, but Evan can still feel it’s presence.

They sit together at lunch and Connor pokes at Evan’s jello with a straw and Evan tries to keep his heartrate under control. Connor rambles on about something that happened in AP Lit — which is apparently the only class he pays attention to in any way — and Evan mostly just nods. Connor keeps looking at him and he kind of feels like dying.

Evan feels like he’s dying and then Connor smiles at him and better and it’s worse and Evan hates every part of his existence.

Connor bumps his shoulder against Evan’s and the butterflies in Evan’s stomach fluttered.

—«·»—

Evan sits at his desk and does homework. He hates it but it gives him something to do. His phone buzzes from where it’s plugged in next to his bed. Evan glances at his Spanish textbook. He gets up and checks his messages.

From: Connor To: Evan      can i call?

Evan’s throat immediately feels like it’s closing him. There’s an anchor wrapped around him and it’s dragging him down. Down down down—

He tries to type out a response but his hands are shaking.

Another message pops up on the screen.

From: Connor To: Evan      fuck its not bad shit i just realized how that sounds      im home alone and larry just got back and i dont want to talk to him      if im on the phone hell probably leave me alone

Evan takes a deep breathe and presses his palms against his eyes. It’s fine. It really is fine.

He replies as fast as he can, but it still takes him a minute to calm down.

From: Evan To: Connor      YEah fo course sorry for takin g so long to rpely

Connor’s response is almost immediate.

From: Connor To: Evan      you didnt take long at all ev youre fine      sorry if i scared you      gonna call now

Evan stares at the screen of his phone. As soon as ‘Incoming call from Connor’ pops up, he hits answer.

“Hello?” Evan sits down on the edge of his bed and grips the blankets.

“Hey,” Connor says. He sounds kind of tired. “Sorry if I freaked you out, didn’t think before I sent that.”

“It’s fine,” Evan promises. He doesn’t want to think about it anymore. A moment of panic. They can move on. “W-what do you want to, um, to talk about?”

“Don’t really know,” Connor admits. “Nice to talk to you, you sound different over the phone.”

Evan smiles. “So do you.” Connor’s voice sounds a bit deeper. Maybe rougher. “Someone thought I was a dad once when I had to call to cancel an appointment.”

“What?” There’s laughter in Connor’s voice and it makes Evan’s head spin. “How the fuck?”

“I don’t know. I-I just— I was trying to cancel and they were like ‘the patient’ and I was confused but was too scared to ask and then they asked my relation to the patient and were like ‘are you his father?’ and I was just kind of like… Well no, I’m the patient.”

Connor snorts. “Amazing. I’m proud of you for cancelling your son’s appointment.”

Evan leans back on his hands. “N-no they— we sorted it out. I almost threw up afterward but uh…probably could’ve gone worse.”

“Phone calls aren’t your thing, huh?” Connor asks. “Sorry for making you do this. If it’s easier for you we can stop.”

Evan shakes his head and then realizes that Connor can’t see him. “No it’s fine. Really, it’s okay with you. It’s nice.” Whoops that was more than he was supposed to share.   

“Okay, if you’re sure. Let me know if you want to hang up.”

“Of course,” Evan murmurs. “Uh… I asked you this like…three hours ago, but how was your day?”

“Pretty shit,” Connor admits. “Right now I’m uh….eating grapes.”

“Well that’s good. You didn’t eat lunch.”

“I never eat lunch.”

Evan hums. “Okay, that’s true.”

“What about you?” Connor asks. “Have you eaten anything today other than shitty cafeteria food?”

“Uh…no,” Evan says slowly. “I’m not super hungry.”

“Get a drink or something for me.”

Evan smiles. “Are you trying to parent me?”

“Fuck, Zoe’s rubbing off on me, isn’t she? How the fuck?” Evan imagines Connor dragging his hand through his hair.

“Her and your mom,” Evan points out. “They aren’t that similar, you know.”

There’s a slight pause. “I guess you’re right. I don’t notice that shit. Zoe’s just…Zoe. I don’t know.”

“Outsider’s perspective,” Evan suggests. “I also don’t live with them, so I might be wrong.”

“Huh.” There’s a pause. “Okay but hydration.”

“I’m going,” Evan promises. He stands up from his bed and heads down the stairs. “Are you staying hydrated?”

Connor clears his throat. “Uh…” Evan smiles as he hears Connor’s bed squeak as Connor stands up. “Yeah of course.”

“You’re going to get a drink, aren’t you?” Evan asks. He walks into the kitchen and pulls a cup from the cupboard.

“No,” Connor says quickly. “Definitely not.”

“Okay.” Evan fills the cup with water and takes a sip. “So uh…sports?”

Something on Connor’s end shuts. “I’m gay.”

Evan rolls his eyes. “Okay. Then you choose the conversation starter.”

“Okay. Did you know that eggplants are fruits?”

“Yeah.”

“Fuck there goes my fun fact.”

Evan laughs. “I’m sure you can think of something else.”

“Don’t have faith in me, Ev, it’ll end badly. But give me a second.” Evan drinks his water as Connor thinks. “Okay. Want to hear lots of random shit about Ancient Egypt? Zoe and I had a phase.”

Evan sits down in a kitchen chair. “You know I do.”

“Well get comfortable, because this is going to be a while.”

Giving love a shot part 51

♡Jae’s views♡

Like that two years passed us by. Gray and Byul made their relationship public, they’re now engaged with a baby on the way, well the public doesn’t know about the whole baby part, she’s lucky her stomach doesn’t show a lot.

Mark is  dating my friend Nicole, the girl he walked with at my wedding. I guess he falls for her French accent, and big boobs. Yeah I approved. *sigh*

Joon my little play boy with the biggest heart fell in love… again, with the least he’s expected. She’s not rich or a spoil brat. She’s a school teacher, she’s smart and as long as he’s in love and, happy we’re all approve.(unless she hurts him, then she’ll be dead….im not kidding)

Eric: is dating a brazilian model, he can fianally have sex with the lights on, dimmed, or off whichever he prefer .

The thing that made the last 2 years, even more stressful is that, Ailee, Yori, and Jimin wanted to get married at the same year. It wasn’t big of a deal since they can afford it, but It was just mentally stressful and a lot of bridezila  happened.

My relationship with Jimin hasn’t been the same since the last time we had that argument two years back. Knowing how she feels about me, I get awkward and uncomfortable around her, we’re still friends I just… i don’t know keep a few distance.

Jay and I are as strong as ever. After all the struggles that we had at the beginning of our relationship we decided to live our marriage life to the fullest. We traveled to soo many places, and just live. No we do not have any kids. Not yet anyways.

*Thanksgiving Dinner*

We’re having Dinner at the Malone’s house. Of course I’m not ready..as always.

Jay: babe can we please go? I’m begging you.

Jae: I’m coming, I can’t find my necklace

Jay: you have like a million of these things, just wear one.

Jae: I’m looking for the one you got me for my last birthday.

Jay: you left it at your mom’s house

Jae: why?

Jay: I’m not sure I can answer that

Jae: can we drive drive by and get It?

Jay: baby we are late, please pick one….anyone.

Jae: but-

Jay: okay *walks in the room and picks a necklace for her, takes her coat and drags her to the car*

*in the car*

Jay: are your parents going to move here permanently or just Temporary?

Jae: temporary, as much as I want my dad to stay. He won’t because my mother and I don’t get along he doesn’t want her to cause trouble.

Jay: oh

30minutes later we made it.

*Jay’s views *

Simon: what was it this time?

Jay: She couldn’t find a necklace.

Simon: doesn’t she has a whole jewelry store in her dressing room?

Jay: bruh if we have to get somewhere I have to tell her it's  3hours earlier. So how’s married life going?

Loco: great on my part

Chacha: same

Jay: who would’ve thought that we would end up like this?

Gray: who would’ve thought that you would’ve gotten married first?

Jay: hey, I wasn’t that bad.

Simon: yea you were.

Gray: you were still horrible with Yuri, but Jaeha stumbled in our dressing room and Bam new leaf 

Simon: I think she changed all of us. are you guys planning on having kids?

Jay: actually we haven’t talk about that in a while. Who knows maybe next year. The thing is I don’t want to get her pregnant and not being there, I want to be there for the whole process. That means a break from performing. Which I won’t have any problem with if she does get pregnant.

I think Jaeha has a knack for finding trouble. We’re eating dinner and she comes out of nowhere.

Jae: so how far long are you guys?

Ailee: I’m not pregnant

Yori: me either

Jimin: not that I know of

Jae: oh, okay

After the dinner we chatted and then we left. As always the end of the year is always hectic with so many things to do. End of the year concerts, award shows, a lot of practices and traveling.

Jaeha herself has been also busy, she went back to the designing board. Working on her first solo fashion show, I don’t really sorry about her being alone, cause I know that she’s busy herself.

*at home*

Jay: you going to shower?

Jae: no, don’t feel like it

Jay: do you need anything downstairs?

Jae: no

Jay: are you sure?

Jae: yes

Jay: Babe?

Jae: I’m hungry

Jay: you see, wait we just ate?

Jae: baby that was 5 hours ago

Jay: it was actually 3hours

Jae: then why’d you asked?

Jay: so you wouldn’t wake me up when I’m sleeping.

We ended up in the kitchen, for one too many snacks.

*back on the bed*

Jay: babe?

Jae: mhhm

Jay: I was thinking

Jae: about

Jay: well you know we’ve been married for 2 years and don’t you think it’s time we should  start thinking about kids?

Jae: You want kids?

Jay: don’t You?

Jae: of course I do, I’ve been wanted one since last year

Jay: really? Why didn’t you tell me?

Jae: I thought you wanted to focus on your work and stuff

Jay: Jaejae, regardless of how much I love what I do, making sure you’re happy is my main priority, if having a kid will make you happy, then so be it.

Jae: okay, well how about when you finish with your current schedule we should-

Jay: why wait until then? We can start right now *starts making out*

*next morning*

As always she’s still knocked out. I’m still hoping for multiple children. Im not sure what kind of pregnancy things Jae’s gonna go through, but if she doesn’t want kids after the first one we can be set with the multiple.

Jae’s habit of huging the bed as become strange. Usually I would  wake up and have no space on the bed, but lately she stays on one side all night long. I strangely dont like it, I think I prefer her all over me or is it that I’m used to it?

Jae: good morning *rolls next to him*

Jay: it’s noon

Jae:  Oh

Jay:  What are you doing today?

Jae: staying home, eat, exercise and work.

Jay: what about your appointment?

Jae: What appointment?

Jay: the one you’ve been rescheduling for the past few weeks.

Jae:  I was busy

Jay: you’re not busy today

Jae: I’ll go next week

Jay: that’s what you’ve been saying all month long. I’m going to be away for the next couple of weeks, how will I know that you actually went.

Jae:  because when you come you’ll find the results that says everything is fine with me, and that it was a waste going to the hospital.

Jay: well I rather find that, than you not going.

Jae: what about your plans for today?

Jay: I have practice all day

Jae: oh

Jay: did you need anything?

Jae: no

Oh forgot to mention that Gajeel had puppies I think Jaeha  was pissed off. Because the dog was a Gajeel dogsiter’s dog. And yup the sitter got fired. I think that’s the first person Jae had personally fired, and it’s over a dog.

*that night*

Jay: how was your day?

Jae: Straight, I took Gajeel to the vet-

Jay: you can take your dog to the vet, but won’t take yourself to the hospital ?

Jae: her appointment was today, I couldn’t miss it

Jay: but you- *deep breath*

Jae: you should probably stop nagging you’ll get wrinkles

I am so done with her tonight.

*next day*

*sitting down on the couch*

Jay: babe what do you want for Christmas?

Jae: for you to not be away, but we know that can’t happen.

Jay: but ill make it for-

Jae: I know you’ll make it for the new year, *sigh*I know

That is sucks. 

The following days, we left for our tour. As always, leaving her with a heavy heart, it doesn’t matter how many time I go away, it’s always the same feelings.

*few days later*

Gray: you okay man?

Jay: I just want to go back home

Gray: Jaejae is fine

Jay: knowing how much she hates going to the hospital makes it worst.

A few days ago I got a call from my mom that Jaeha was sick, so now I’m just  ready to go home, but if I do go home she’s gonna be mad..

The rest of the days I do my best at every performance, but the I still had the thought of going back home. Just a few more days to go.

I think in the future, we’re gonna have to think about those holiday concert even though theyre sorta like a tradition, but unless my family’s coming, I don’t wanna miss any Christmas with my wife or kids.

Finally heading back home, I couldn’t be any more excited. Except the long ass hours on the plane.

*10hrs later*

We landed I had a car waiting for me, great.

Gray: hey Jay can you-

Jay: no no no I’m head straight home, I miss my wife,  I’m done working, I’m a husband at this point on I don’t know anything, I dont think what I’m saying even make sense.

Getting home went straight to our room there’s a big sign on the door that say “DO NOT WAKE ME UP PARK JAEBUM”

Jay:*smiling*

Walking in she was knocked out.

Jay: * moves her hair out of her face, kisses her forehead*

Looking over on my side I found a note.

Step 1: take a shower…

After taking a shower the step 2 shows up in the mirror “follow the arrows”

Ok how the heck did she do that?

I did exactly what the instructions said. That think lead me all the way to the back of rooms that we barely go to.

Looking at the logo on the “AOMG Jay Park’s Office”

She got me an office, not just any office, and office with a recording studio.

Sitting on my new desk I open the drawer. “Merry Christmas Babe, hope you like your present. You have an office at home so you wouldn’t use the I have to go to the office as an excuse to not babysit, …PS go back to the room for your last present ♡U Mrs.Park ”

Jay:*Can’t stop smiling*

*back in the room*

Jay:*lay down on his side looking at her*

Jae: take a picture it will last you longer

Jay:  you’re awake?

Jae:  how can we sleep when you’re staring so hard?

Jay: we? Is there someone else in here?

Jae: you didn’t get the hint?

Jay: hint for..?

Jae: clueless, can you go get me a water please

Wait am I missing something here? Woah woah woah. She said “we” instead of her, when it’s just the two of us in the room. The logo on the front of her shirt said “Bun in the oven” only pregnant women wears-

Jay: babe are you pregnant?

Jae:…

Jay: are you?

Jae:*reaches in her nightstand drawer and hands him the envelope with the results*

Jay: Jaejae? Jaeha? You’re going to have a baby?

Jae: We’re going to have a baby.

I couldn’t hepl but tearing up.

Jae: *hugs him* come on let’s get some sleep.

 Jay: how can I sleep at a time like this?

Jae: easy, just close your eyes for an hour. *turns off her light*

Jay: so how long as it’s been?

Jae: ask me in the morning

Jay: is it twins?

Jae:…

Jay: boys or girls?. I want boys, but I’m totally fine if they’re girls

Jae: Park Jaebum, if you’re not going to sleep please let me sleep.

Jay: okay fine

That night I couldn’t stop thinking us having a baby. While I’m imagining the fun stuff, I forget about how much of problems I’m gonna have with both Gajeel and Jaeha pregnant.

*sigh*

*next morning*

Waking up she’s getting ready.

Jae: good morning

Jay: hey, heading out?

Jae: yeah, I have a meeting.

Jay: so early in the morning?

Jae: I can’t be late

Jay: I thought we were  to talk?

Jae: we are

Jay: then why-

Jae: look I have plans, I have things to do okay. We will talk when I’m done okay. Your breakfast is ready

Jay: why are you getting mad at me?

Jae:*deep breath* I’ll see you later.

I know Jae has things to do. I’m aware of how busy she is, but I can’t help it.

*hour..hours..hours… later*

Still not home yet. It’s 5 PM and still not here…. I have not done anything all day. I can’t even call her cause she turned off her phone.

It’s scary how serious Jae she is when it comes to working. That CEO blood is running thick in her veins.

Jay:*phone rings* hello

Jae:  hey, are you busy?

Jay: no watching T.V., you?

Jae: omw home. I wanna go to the store, but I don’t really feel like it.

Jay: do you want something?

Jae: yeah, but I don’t know what. I was just going to walk around until I find something.

Jay: look just come home, later on we’ll go.

Jae: are you going to drive?

Jay: yes babe, just come home.

Jae: okay

Another 45minutes wait she finally get home.

♡Jae’s views ♡

Jae:  hey Mr. Park *sits on couch*

Jay: how was your day?

Jae: long *yawn* very long

Jay: wanna go rest up a bit?

Jae:  no, you said that you wanted to talk

Jay: that’s okay it can wait

After taking a shower, I went straight to the bed, wearing the towel.

Waking up 3hrs later, Jay on his laptop working sitting on the couch with a headphone on.

Jae:*gets up and go use the bathroom, and walks back to him*

Jay: you up? *takes his headphones off*

Jae: I’m up *sits next to him *

Jay: hungry?

Jae: no

Jay: you sure

Jae:  Yea

Jay: okay

Jae: *leans on his chest* it’s just a few weeks old

Jay: What?

Jae: The baby, it’s a few weeks old. I don’t know if it’s a boy, girl, or twin or more we have to wait for that.

Jay: how long?

Jae: I’m not really sure yet.

Jay: have you told anyone else?

Jae: no

Jay: not even your parents

Jae: *hugs him tighter* I missed you

Jay: I missed you to babe. *kisses her head*

Jae: What did you think about your presents?

Jay: I don’t know what to say? I didn’t even get you anything.😣

Jae: it’s not too late.

Jay: really? What do you want?

Jae: ice cream

Jay: When?

Jae: now

Jay: really? Okay let’s go

*in the car*

Jay: is your back okay? Should I bring a pillow?

Jae: Jay no, my back is fine. I do not need a pillow.

After getting my ice cream. We  just decided to drive around.

*phone rings*

Jae: DADDY!!

Dad: you’ll never stop doing that will You?

Jae: nope, how are you dad?

Dad: I’ve had better

Jae: are you okay?

Dad: just a bit depress, you mother is driving me crazy.

Jae: dad? You know you’re welcome here  right?

Dad: I know. You know your mother follow me around, I don’t wanna come here and have her stress you out.

Jae: then don’t tell her where you’re going, just come down here for a few days. Tell you’re going to an important business meeting and that she can’t go. Or we can do that the hard way and kidnap her for a few days, lock her up in a trailer  something,  drop her off in Madagascar or some Jungle for a few  weeks or forever so you can have a break

Dad: JAE!

Jae: what?? I’m just saying

Dad: your mother isn’t that bad

Jae: you’re right, she’s horrible.

Dad: I’ll admit she’s a bit-

Jae: mean, clingy, mean,rude,mean, selfish, self centered, she’s missing a few screws up there

Dad: you can’t talk about your mother that way

Jae: But anyways,  I was looking at a few files I need your help with

Dad: what kind of files?

Jae: some papers for the mall, and no daddy I’m not going to ask anyone else for help. I want you, so when can you come down here?

Dad: I’m not doing anything tomorrow, so I’ll see you tomorrow night

Jae: okay

Dad: tell my son that I’ll see him tomorrow

Jae: see that’s why I didnt let you talk to him cause you would’ve ignored me and talk to him

Dad: why didn’t you tell me that he was with you?

And yes they talk and forget about me even being in the car. Heck it’s my phone.

*30minutes later*

Jae:*glare at him*

Jay: What? Babe-

Jae: It’s okay I know you like my dad more than me

Jay:*smile* yes I do like your dad more than you, but I love you more than your dad.

Jae: *smile*

Jay: do you really need help with files?

Jae: no, just to get him down here.

Jay: where to next?

Jae: idc anywhere you want

Jay: so was thinkin we should invite everyone over to tell them, what you think?

Jae: that’s okay with me.

Jay: oh no

Jae:  What?

Jay: I forgot there’s a big game tomorrow

Jae: ugh that again?

Jay: but your dad is coming?

Jae: so, he can use some guy time. And you can also use that time to tell them. I can go pick up your parents in the morning

Jay: I agree with everything except for the picking up my parents part.

Jae: why can’t I? You font trust my driving?

Jay: not really

Jae: rude

Jay: I’m kidding, I just don’t want  you to be stressing out.

Jae: I’m fine, but we can just send a drive to pick them up

Jay: that sounds a whole lot better.

Jae: pshh

After the drive we head back home. It’s a  relief to be married, there are a lot of things I don’t have to worry about. It’s strange coming from someone who didn’t wanna get married.

Jay: you sure you don’t want anything out?

Jae: I’m sure

The rest of the night itself was pretty calm. I watched tv while Jay doing who knows what on his computer.

*next day*

Jay’s having his friends over for some football game. I’m only happy cause they be eating some good food when watching this thing. Since he decided to tell his friends and since all the important people are going to be there. I did mention food right.

*Jay’s views*

Today as become more important than just a game day. Jae’s working in her dad’s old office, her dad is on the way. My parents are almost here, I’m excited.

As the day goes by, my parents and brother came.

Jay: mom, dad, rock head

Mom: hey

Dad: son

Jake: what’s up man?

Dad: where’s my daughter-in-law?

Jay: she’s in her office working. I’ll get her

Dad: you don’t have to do that if she’s busy

Jay: she’s been in there all morning, she could use a break. You guys can make yourselves comfortable, I’ll get her.

*knock knock*

Jay: babe

Jae: mhmm *focusing typing*

Jay: *walk towards her, and massages her shoulder* working hard?

Jae: too hard for my liking, my back and my butt hurting.

Jay: wanna take a break? Or eat  something?

Jae: that’s my last paper, if I get up I’m not going to finish 

Jay: do you want me to to get you anything to eat?

Jae: no I should be done in a few minutes

Jay: okay

That few minutes took longer than expected, cause by the time she came down her father had already came and so was every One else.

Wegun: yo man I’m a bit uncomfortable?

Jay: why?

Wegun: her dad seems scary

Jay: he’s not

Elo: he’s been frowning since he got here

Jay: probably  because he hasn’t seen his daughter the past 3hours he’s been here. He doesn’t wanna interrupt her working.

*20minutes later*

Jae: DADDDYYYYY!!!!!

*everyone startles*

Mr.Han: finally, I’ve been waiting for you for 4hours. You would usually come greet me, but now you think you’re old now

Jae: *hugs her dad* I missed you to dad. Just so you know that I’m going to scream like that even if you’re a hundred years old.

Mr.Han:  you wanna give me a heart attack?

Jae: no, it’ll keep you alive

Mr.Han: I’m glad you didn’t pursue a medical career.

Jae: hey I’d make a good doctor

Mr.Han: and I’d need some  really really good lawyers, but I’m happy to see you

Everyone became more relax after Jaeha  came down. I can’t help but notice a little tension between Jaeha and some of her friends, and it’s not the first time either.

Jay: *pulls  Jae’s arms as she was about to take a bite out of something* can I see you for a second?

Jae: can I take one bite?

Jay: one bite

Jae: *takes the plate with her*

*somewhere private*

Jay: what’s going on?

Jae: with?

Jay: you guys, why are you all being awkward with Jimin? Not just you girls the guys as well. Simon think you guys have something against his wife.

Jae: you should go back downstairs. It’s not polite to your guests.

Jay: please don’t do this when I’m trying to  talk to you

Jae: Don’t do what?

Jay: ignore my question to say something else.

Jae: Jay I’ve been working all day, I don’t wanna do this right now okay. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go pee, for the hundredth times today.

And that was the end of the conversation. We went back out Jaeha  hasn’t stop eating since she started, I think the only reason no one suspected that she was pregnant is because, everyone knows that she loves to eat.

After the game was over we’re all just sitting down talking and enjoying each other’s company.

Jay: you’re ready?

Jae: as long as you’re doing all the talking

Jay: okay *stands up, and get their attention* guys Jaeha and I would like to thank eveveryone for spending the evenings with us. It’s always a pleasure having you guys around. Working with some of you, you’re probably tired of hearing me talk, but my wife doesn’t do the whole public speaking thing so bear with me. Although I think it’s an excuse for her to keep eating.

Jae: no *taking a bite*

All:*laughs*

Jay: also we wanted to tell you guys that, we’re gonna have a baby.

All:*shock and quiet*

Jae: surprise? 😓

Byul: no way

Jae: way

The rest of the night went with getting congratulated from everyone.

♡Jae’s views ♡

After everyone left I went to go look for my dad, just like me an antisocial sitting in his room.

Jae: hey daddy

Dad: hey princess

Jae: why you sitting by yourself?

Dad: I was just thinking

Jae: about?

Dad: how proud I am of you. Even though you were abandoned, you turned out pretty well. I just wish we could’ve been there for you a bit more, you have to be a better mom. Don’t follow your mother’s footsteps, like you said be a mom not a just a mother

Jae: I will daddy

After having that emotional talk with my dad, I talk to Jay’s parents and now time to take a nice bath and head to sleep.

*bedroom*

Jae: *sigh* I’m beat

Jay: wanna relax a bit?

Jae: no I wanna bath first

Jay: mind if I join you?

Jae: no help yourself

I’m taking a warm bath because I feel like my boobs are getting soar, it’s itchy and uncomfortable. Of course my partner in crime would be right behind me.

Jay: Jae

Jae: yea

Jay: you feeling alright?  

Jae: yes? Why?

Jay: I don’t know, it’s just I don’t know.

Jae: it’s just you don’t know? Jay?

Jay: nothing

Jae: okay.

Jay’s been pretty stress out lately, I don’t know why, but it’s kind off getting annoying.

*next day*

Today is December 31st, and yes I am you going to party. Under Jay’s supervision of course.

Jay: are you going to wear heels? *on his computer*

Jae: yes, I know where you going with this, and don’t even think about it.

Jay: okay

Jae: *wearing a white spaghetti strap deep v neck white bandage velvet dress* how do I look?

Jay:*gulp, starring at her* aren’t you going to wear a jacket?

Jae: it’ll ruin the outfit

Jay: what if you get cold?

Jae: I’ll take yours

Jay:*smile*

*later @ party*

Unlike the past couple of years, I can’t drink, all I’m allow is water.

Crush:*hands her a drink*

Jae: no thank you, I’ll have a water instead

Crush: water?

Jae: yeah

The rest of the night I did two things, drink water a pee. I’ve peed all night that its embarrassing.

¤Jay’s views¤

Beenzino: is your wife okay man? Normally she would already be out of it.

Jay: *smile*

Dok2: what?

Jay: she ain’t gonna be drinking for a while

Quiet: what? She’s pregnant or something?

Jay:*smile*

Quiet: she is? Congratulations

Jay: thanks man

Dok2: how long?

Jay: few weeks

Beenzino: are you excited? Nervous? Scared?

Jay: all of the above. I don’t know what’s going to happen to her or what kind of pregnancy Jae’s going to have so I have to say that I’m quite nervous.

Dok2: look man, if there’s anything we all have notice over the years even before you get married, is that Jaeha is a really strong woman. She and your baby will be fine, you have nothing to worry about.

Crush: it’s about to be new year, I’ll go find my date. .

*Few minutes before the count down, on the dance floor with his arm around his wife, and her arm around his neck*

Jae: you didn’t drink?

Jay: nah

Jae: our last year partying?

Jay: maybe or maybe not. Are you having fun?

Jae: not really, I peed too much

Jay: *chuckles, hugs her * I love you

Jae: love you to Bumie.

After the countdown we head back home.

Jay:  you going to shower?

Jae: don’t really feel like it, I’m just going to clean myself up.

After that she pretty much knocked out cold. I spent the night looking at baby stuff. Anything I could think could think of.

The next day ismore of a chilling day, unlike how we partied all the time this year we’re just going to stay home and I guess chill.

Jae: hey babe can we go to your mom’s?

Jay: my mom’s? Why?

Jae: for food

Jay: you want me to drive 3-4 hours away just to go eat?

Jae: yeah

Jay: my mom’s not in town

Jae: you’re just saying that

Jay: I’m serious

Jae: okay I’ll call her and ask.

She called my mom, and I got yelled at. Now I have to drive her there.

Jay: babe why are you packing stuff? What’s all this?

Jae: oh, these are things I had got for your mom, but forget to give them to her.

Jay: babe-

Jae: I’ll get someone to take them to the car. In the mean time, can you pack me something to eat in the car? Please.

The drive is taking a bit longer than usual, because of the amount of times  we have to stop for her to pee.

Jae: sorry

Jay: for?

Jae: peeing that much.

Jay: baby it’s okay. I know it’s not your fault

Jae: I know, but still-

Jay: look I’ll only be upset if you hold it, I really don’t mind all these stops. They make the drive longer and I get to spend more time with you alone.

Gajeel:*barks

Jay: and Gajeel

Jae: *smile*

Jay: how you feeling?

Jae: beat, I didn’t do anything but I feel exhausted.

Jay: you can sleep if you want to.

Jae: I’m good, I’m sure I’ll just KO when I’m sleepy.

Jay: so when you think he or she will be here?

Jae: August

Jay: August? How you know?

Jae: I checked. I think I got pregnant in November. December made it a month, December to August is 9months

Jay: I have no idea what you just said

Jae: we will share the same month.

Jay: that’s not fair

Jae: don’t blame me.

Jay: you’re right

Before we get to my parents house she fell asleep, which makes  it a bit easier since i didn’t get to stop for bathroom breaks.

Me of all people know  better than to wake her up when she’s sleeping, but I cant leave her in the car and go upstairs.

Jay: Jae

Jae:…..

Jay: babe

Jae:…

Im just going to wait here. Im sitting here wondering if i'd be this happy with Yuri? As much as it was killing me when we broke up, I’m glad it happened.

Jay:*chuckles*

Jae: what?

Jay: nothing just thinking- you’re awake?

Jae: yes are we there yet?

Jay:  yeah I was waiting for you to wake up

Jae: oh okay, let’s go. *open the back door for Gajeel* come on let’s go.

Jay: you guys can go up ahead, I'll  get the things from the car

Jae: nah ill just wait for you

*in elevator*

Jae: babe, you think we should get Gajeel a stroller?

Jay: babe no, absolutely  not

Jae:w-

Jay: do not ask me why either

Jae: okay

Gajeel is probably one of the most….im not sure what to call it, I’ll say a high class spoil dog. She never have anything  other than expensive dog food. Jae never fed her anything else besides dog food.

I knew Jae would be a good mom when I saw her pack treats and food for Gajeel whenever we’re going out of town. We go to rest stops for food, while she specifically pack dog food for Gajeel. I’m gonna love seeing how she packs when we going out with our kid, Gajeel and  her pups.

Getting to my parents  house,  as always I get ignored. My parents always liked Jaeha, because of how easy going she is.  In the past I used to always forced Yuri to go any family events or activities that my family are doing, but Jaeha just connect with my parents is just one of the greatest things ever.

*dinner*

Jay: Mom remember when you said that you wanted to go to Paris, so I was thinking this summer we could all go.

Mom: I went there already

Jay:*raise is brows* you did?

Mom: yeah, but I wouldn’t mind going there a third time, it’s really beautiful.

Jay: Mom? How did- who- wait what? What you mean we? You and dad?

Mom: the four of us went two years ago

Jay: four? Jake to? *looks at Jae*

Jae: what? You were on tour and it was their anniversary. I didn’t wanna be alone so I took your brother. It was really fun

Jay: I wouldn’t know

Jae: awe I’m sorry. If you want we can go next year

Jay: why not this year?

Mom: because we have plans for Hawaii, Spain, and Rome.

Jay: so you guys made plans without me?

Jae: I was going to tell you?

Jay: when? When y'all came back?

Jae: you mad

Jay: yes

Jae: I’m guessing you’re too angry to eat, I’ll take that *takes his plate*

Jay:*blankly staring at her, and takes his plate back* I’m not that angry

Jae: Mom *looks at his mom*

Mom: give it back to her

Jay: Mom

Mom: get another one

Jae: wait did I just called you mom? I’m so sorry.

Mom: sorry  for what?

Jae: calling you that

Mom: it’s okay, you can call me mom anytime. You have no idea how happy I am to have a daughter in law like you. Normally I would be stuck between 3 men, but it’s nice to have another woman in the family.

After we eat we just sitting around talking, except  Jaeha she on her 3rd nap for the day. strangely Gajeellike my dad, cause she just on his lap like with him scratching her head. This dog is boogie, she doesn’t like everyone.

Jay: have you guys ever consider moving?

Dad: to?

Jay: a bit closer to the City.

Dad: not really, do you guys want us too move?

Jay: of course. I mean Jaeha love you guys and now that we’re going to have a baby, it’ll be easier for you guys instead of driving 3hours. And who knows how many times she’s gonna make me come here to eat.

Dad: rent in the city where you guys live is pretty high

Jay: don’t let Jae here you say that. So if you guys find an apartment you would move?

Dad: I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea what you think? *looks at his wife*

Mom: as long as you’re okay with it.

Dad: *sees him looking at her sleeping on the couch* son?

Jay: yes dad

Dad: are you happy?

Jay: more than I thought I would.

Dad: well I’m glad that you didn’t marry that other girl.

Jay: me to dad.

Mom: are you guys staying overnight?

Jay: uh I don’t know. I don’t know if Jae has work in the morning. if she doesn’t wake up in the next hour, we’re gonna have to stay over.

She didn’t wake up, so I’m just going to stay overnight. My dad took Gajeel out for a walk, I’m just going to clean Jae’s face and stuff.

*next morning*

It’s always strange when I wake up and not having a whole bunch of hair on my face. It’s weird  but waking up not seeing her next to me, my mind is going haywire.

Again walking out my dad is feeding Gajeel.

Jay: dad-

Dad: they went to the market.

Jay: walking?

Dad: I think so, it’s not far from here, I’m sure they’ll be fine.

Jay: but-

Dad: your mother wanted to show off her daughter in law

Jay: that explains the walking.

Dad: don’t worry I’m sure your mom can take care of her

Jay: that’s not what I’m worrying about. I don’t want Jae to eat things that she shouldn’t be eating

Dad: she’s pregnant cut her some slack. She’s not eating for herself remember  that.

After two hours they came back.

Jae: Babe *hugs him* guess what I just took a picture with a few-

Jay: fishes?

Jae: how’d you know?

Jay: I think I can still smell them on you.

Jae: really? I can’t smell it

Jay: you’ve been inhaling it for two plus hours.

Jae: rude

Jay: you smell fishy

Jae: and you are rude

Jay: still smell like fish. Babe go take a shower we’re about to leave and you’re not getting in the car smelling like this.

Jae: We’re leaving? Now?

Jay: Yes?

Jae: aren’t we going to stay for dinner?

Jay: dinner is at night, right now it’s breakfast.

Jae: yea I was thinking we could stay for lunch, and dinner.

Jay: why you don’t wanna stay for the whole week?

Jae: really?? That’d be- you’re being sarcastic aren’t you?

Jay: shower please

Jae: I don’t have anything to wear

Jay: go in that room we slept in, I should have some clothes in the closet

Jae: okay.

Jay: no more fish pictures

Jae:*walking away* yes boss

Jay: don’t take an hour

Jae: yeah yeah

After she showered we actually stayed till dinner. After that we made our way back home.

*in the car*

Jay: can I ask you a question?

Jae: what?

Jay: promise you won’t laugh

Jae:*bust out laughing* why? Is it that bad?

Jay: yes

Jae: okay go ahead, I promise I won’t laugh. What ever it is it can’t be that bad..

I have a long weekend but plenty of work to do for uni assignments and also I should work on my thesis. But it’s okay since I’m home now, my sisters wouldn’t let me to haul up in my room anyway, so we will make this weekend fun.

Thank you! Take care of yourself and don’t overwork yourself! Enjoy your lunch breaks!
