â not proof read â wc : 1.9k â
woonhak is always a very loud and talkative person. after all, being the youngest in his friend group always has its perks, and it makes woonhak known as the loud, cute one in all of school.
youâre in the same group as him, harboring the same group of friends, but you and woonhak are practically inseparable as you two grew up with eachother since you could remember. the group often associates you both as twins, like siblings from another mother. and of course, woonhak had a big, fat crush on you.
your families have their annual christmas party coming up and itâs the most exciting time of the year for the both of you. in the past years, you guys have exchanged gifts, planned events, and even planned games. one year, woonhak lost and got flour all over his face which is now a memory you always bring up every year.
while at school on the day of the planned party, you walk over to the table where everyone usually meets and immediately gets greeted with the same, adorable smirk woonhak gives.
ây/n!â he yells, not doing so on purpose but forgets they are actually in school.
you playfully push his aside, sitting next to him. âmove aside, woonagiâ you tease him, itâs the name the other friends gave him but you thought it was such a cute name especially since woonhak was the baby of the group.
woonhak just responds with a sarcastic eye roll before going back to eating his food. jaehyun, one of your friends, looks at both of you with his mouth wide open, âyouâre actually joking,â he says, the surprised expression not leaving his face, âwoonhak, why do you get mad at us when we call you woonagi, but when y/n does it you literally donât careâ jaehyun exclaims bitterly. it was mostly a joke but jaehyun did want to know why woonhak didnât react much to you.
you look at jaehyun with his jealous gaze, âwoonagi just loves me more than youâ you say playfully, sticking your tounge out at jaehyun. another one of your friends, leehan, laughs at jaehyuns defeat. woonhak is left quiet and a light blush now apparent on his cheeks.
you notice the slight redness on woonhakâs face and combine it with the sudden quiet attidude fron the usually-loud woonhak you know to come to the conclusion to one thing. heâs sick.
itâs not weird to be sick at this time, especially since itâs the winter time but either way, you place a hand on his forehead to check his temperature. itâs slightly hotter than normal seeing more red appear on his face.
in woonhakâs mind heâs trying to battle breaking all together. his heart racing and mind going everywhere and nowhere at the same time from you taking care of him.
you sweep some stray hairs out of his bangs, âtake care of yourself, you look like you just woke upâ you laugh before finishing up your food.
as if woonhak could blush more, he looked very red. it was a good thing you were focused on your food and not on him or else the embarassment would be too much to handle. eventually, heâs able to calm down and lunchtime came to an end everyone starts parting ways to their final classes.
before either of you leave, you nudge woonhak once again. âiâll see you later?â you ask. he looks confused. the dots arenât connecting in his mind while looking at you. you laugh at his forgetful state right now, âthe christmas party?â you remind him. âoh yeahâ he remembers, he scratches the back of his head from ebarassment. âjeez woonagi, youâre so clueless sometimes, good thing you have meâ you giggle as you walk off to your class.
woonhak stands there a moment, heart racing once again. in fact, literally anything you would do would make it race, and he didnât know what to do or how to react. of course he wants to tell you but isnât sure if you would like him back and is scared to ruin the close bond you guys have already.
after school ends, woonhak heads home, hoping to sort out his feelings before meeting up with you again before the party. he goes to the one person he knows, or thinks that he knows, some good dating advice. his hyung, myung jaehyun.
â
now woonhak is standing in front of jaehyunâs home as the night shrouded him in darkness. he was suited in the cute black bubble jacket you got him last christmas which is also matching with yours. woonhak knocks on the door of jaehyun, desperate for any advice his hyung can provide.
jaehyun answers the door. heâs wearing some cute christmas pyjamas. heâs wiping his eye, looking like he just woke up from a nap. âever heard of texting, woonhak?â he asks, somewhat annoyed that he was disturbed from his nap but shortly realizes that itâs the youngest so he lets it pass.
âi called you so many times, hyungâ he says. woonhak lets himself in, going past the sleepy jaehyun who is checking his call receipts to see that woonhak did, indeed, call him exactly 7 times. âjesus i guess iâm a deep sleeperâ jaehyun comments quietly to himself.
âwhy are you here, woonagi?â jaehyun asks while trying to tease the young boy, âyouâre going to be late for your christmas party with y/nâ he continues. he boils some hot water for hot chocolate for woonhak.
âquit it with the name, hyungâ woonhak scoffs, clearly annoyed. âiâm here to ask you about somethingâ
jaehyun looks slightly worried, âyou never come to me for anything, iâm kinda scared.â he pours out the hot chocolate and gives it to the young boy. âyouâre not dying. are you?â he jokes lightly.
woonhak accepts the hot cup, using it to warm his hands, âno, idiot. itâs about y/nâ woonhak confesses.
jaehyunâs serious expression immediately falters and gets replaced with one of teasing. âohh, i knew it! what did they do this time? smile at you? breathe in your direction?â jaehyun says, smile getting wider and voice getting more teasing every question.
âcan you be seious for once?â woonhak sighs, tired of all the teasing heâs being bombarded with. he sounds more serious, âlisten, i donât know if they like me or are just being friendlyâŠâ woonhak says, just speaking his mind out, sipping the hot chocolate.
the hyung rolls his eyes, looking done with the youngerâs lovesick problems. âokay but why does it matter? just keep the attention dude, youâre lucky someone keeps clinging onto you.â jaehyun replies unseriously, that playful smirk making its way back to his face.
âthatâs not helpful!â woonhak exclaims, playing a mini tantrum. âugh, i knew i shouldâve gome to riwoo hyungâ he whispers to himself but jaehyun overhears.
âokay okay fine, keep going. what things do they do?â jaehyun asks, finally takes it semi-seriously and get information from woonhak.
and now woonhak has a mini clump in his throat as even just thinking about you makes him jumble his words, âwell theyâll lean on me, have lingering touches, and like gets close when we talk. but when i ask theyâre like âim just like this with everyoneââ woonhak admits, shoulders giving out as he slouches slightly into the chair.
âwell maybe they are like that with everyoneâ jaehyun says, adding some emphasis on âareâ, wanting to help woonhak see everything clearly, but not giving the boy the answer right away.
âthatâs exactly what im afraid of!â woonhak exclaims, âbut what if they arenât⊠what if im mising my chance?â woonhak asks his hyung, desperate for an answer.
âthen donât miss itâ jaehyun answers.
woonhak looks at his hyung, confused, âwhat does that even mean?â
jaehyung places his palm onto his face, dissappointed at how dumb woonhak is, âi mean, just go for it. or dont. either way, youâll figure it outâ
woonhak checks the time and sees that he has to leave to go to the party. he gets up from his chair, still confused, âwhat do i even bother asking you?â
âmy question exactly. well let me know if they reject you so. i can roast you for it, woonagiâ jaehyun giggles as he enjoys teasing the youngest.
woonhak walks out of the door after returning the hot chocolate, âi hate you, hyungâ woonhak pouts with an angry face as he walks off.
âno you donât! good luck loverboy!â jaehyun yells into the empty neighborhood before closing the door.
â
woonhak walks into the house which is decorated in twinkling lights. sounds of a cackling fireplace echo into his ears and the smell of freshly baked cookies goes around the room. families gather, chatting now also stacks with the sounds.
he goes over to the more quiet corner of the party, away from the adults to avoid any awkward conversations. youâre also there, sitting by the christmas tree and he decides to sit next to you.
âitâs so pretty this year. the lights, the tree⊠everything feels extra magical, doesnât it?â you comment, gazing at the tree, beautifully decorated with many different kinds of ornaments from each family that got together.
woonhak leans back to try and make it look like he was playing it cool. âyeah, i guess. or maybe it's just because you're here" he says lightly, also focused on the tree that is in front of the both of you.
you blink, registering the words woonhak said. your eyes widen slightly as your gaze moves over to the boy. "what was that?"
he realizes what he says and his eyes widen as well. "uh. i mean, everone's here! like, the whole family and stuff. that's what it makes it magical," woonhak tries to play it off.
you tilt your head, suspicious but amused at woonhak's attempt at recovery. "mhm. sure, woonhak."
you both fall into a comfortable silence, watching the lights twinkle together on the tree, admiring the time you guys have together. woonhak's heart starts to race as he steals a glance at you, who is just quietly smiling at the tree.
"you've been acting weird lately. is something on your mind?" you ask, noticing a difference in woonhak's behavior recently.
woonhak starts choking on his own saliva, "what? no! weird? me? i'm always like this."
you laugh softly at his clumsiness, "okay, if you say so. woonagi" you tease the boy. your laughter fades as you suddenly lean in a little closer. "but, seriously. you know you can tell me anything, right? we've known each other since forever ago." you remind him, trying to comfort him through his personal problem.
woonhak's concentration slips, especially with you moving closer to him, "i like you."
a heavy silence falls between you both, woonhak freezing and woonhak turning a familiar tone of red.
you simply blink in surprise, still registering the situation. "wait what?"
woonhak starts to stammer his words, trying to quickly formulate sentences through the embarrassment he's feeling, "i-i didn't mean to say that! i mean, i did, but not like this!" he covers his face with his hands. "forget i even said anything." he says as he gets up.
you grab onto his arm, smiling softly. "woonhak, i think you're so cute when you're flustered. and, for the record, i like you too.
"wait really?" he makes sure, wanting to make sure he's not hearing anything wrong.
you simply nod, teasingly, of course. "yeah. but you're going to have to make it up to me for confessing to me like that. where's the grand romantic gesture?" you nudge him gently.
woonhak laughs nervously but is finally relaxing, "give me a break. i'm not exactly smooth under pressure."

I was thinking about my two major interests right now [khr and ffxiv] and am now thinking of what jobs the cast would be?
Tsuna: Machinist! I was going to say Paladin, but a Machinist uses guns and robots, so how can I not make Tsuna this!?
Gokudera: Red Mage: I love that he'd be able to use black and white magic, use a rapier , and even heal or resurrect allies. Plus, the red mage job is supposed to be a wandering hero, so I love that for him :')
Yamamoto: Samurai! Obviously hahaha. Gonna add that the attacks for samurai are SUPER PRETTY!!
Ryohei: Monk! Feels most fitting for him.
Lambo: Paladin [because he has a big shield to hide behind while protecting others and can heal]
Chrome: ngl I want her to be a Scholar because it automatically unlocks and has Summoner level up alongside it so Chrome can be both a Healer and Magical DPS person. ALSO she gets to have a fairy (and I think she still has a carbuncle)! So cute đ„șâšïž
Mukuro: Reaper! I haven't unlocked this one yet [this unlocks at lvl 70] but looking at the description, it seems perfect for him.
Kyoko: White Mage. The strongest Healer in the game! Plus, she'd look adorable in the outfit.
Haru: Dancer. This just feels perfect for Haru, flips and kicks, and Chakram as a weapon!
Hibari: I want him to be a Dragoon because they slay dragons đ and do giant fancy leaps! But I also want his side job to be Beast Master. It's not out yet but...come on. That's perfect for Hibari!
#nimo's sheeko sheeko time#khr x ffxiv#I am also thinking of their races still#oh and what races and classes everyone else would be!!#tbh I also didnt unlock some of the jobs on here but I read descriptions and it seems to fit?#when I'm not lazy I should draw them

oh god is biden dropping out? i don't know what happens then
Jesus effing Christ.
Few thoughts:
The billionaire Democratic donors got their way, apparently. All I saw was that the big-dollar donors were secretly putting pressure on the rank-and-file Democratic elected officials (i.e. House and Senate) to denounce Biden or not get any more money, and other shameful backroom maneuvering to knife Biden. I will refrain (lol, no I won't) from speculating that billionaires of any political stripe feel threatened by Biden's increasingly progressive tax/wealth redistribution policies, and saw their chance after the bad debate performance to knife him. Because until further notice, I'm going to think that was the biggest factor.
I don't know if there's an actual health condition that made Biden agree it was the best time (in fucking July) to step down, but if this was an issue, there needed to be planning last year, at the earliest, to prepare for a new successor. I don't know what's going on. This is a clusterfuck on many, many levels.
However: it is true that this does change things and not necessarily only for the worse, as long as Harris is immediately confirmed as the new nominee and this stupid Democrats In Disarray nonsense, which is giving the media exactly what they want, is put to a fucking end. If Harris is also swept aside and the billionaire donors try to install their preferred "Centrist!!!" candidate (lol Manchin or some shit) with an equally antidemocratic closed-door Star Chamber convention, then yes, we're fucked. Because the Congressional Black Caucus and African American voters saw exactly what the rich white man billionaires were trying to do by torching Biden and then Harris, and they are not going to play ball with some Magical White Man replacement.
If Harris is immediately confirmed as the new nominee (and to the best of my knowledge Biden has endorsed her), then she has a chance of reinvigorating the race. There were a lot of Americans who did not want either Biden or Trump. I suspect they were fucking braindead, but so be it. Harris has apparently polled pretty and increasingly well in recent days (in some cases actually better than Biden) and again, there is no remotely small-d democratic alternative to her. The billionaire donors already trashed the duly elected (by the primary process) Democratic nominee. If they do the same to Harris, then yes. We will have Trump and there won't be any more democracy in this country on either side, because the Republican big-bucks donors will gleefully pick up where the Democratic big-bucks donors left off.
Jesus fucking Christ.
The message needs to be "Harris is Joe's successor, she is younger and already has four years of experience and is the only candidate." Anything else is a fucking gift from god to the Republicans, once more getting trashed after Trump's terrible RNC speech. Maybe she can then pick Whitmer or Shapiro (both popular and effective Democratic governors of swing states, MI and PA respectively) as a running mate, but the nominee has to be Kamala. There is no other fucking choice. This is already enough of a mess.
If that can happen, and the fucking donors can refrain from fucking it up, then... okay. It's not great, but it does change things. It makes the ticket younger. It makes it historic (first Black female president beating Trump would be amazing). It could reach people disenchanted with the current two-old-white-guys setup.
This is an incredible sacrifice on Biden's part and I only wish that I could believe he did it voluntarily, rather than being forced out by a small class of rich people worrying about his policies getting too progressive.
I wish him only the best and I recognize this decision was taken under extreme pressure. If we then lose to Trump, I hope everyone who forced Biden out burns in hell.
I was a diehard Biden supporter not because I loved the guy personally, but because he was the only choice for preserving democracy in America. The essential stakes of the election have not changed, even if the billionaires just knifed us in the fucking back, possibly to nobody's surprise, because R or D, they are not our friends.
Kamala is the only choice. I will now have to defend her as hard as I did for Biden. She needs to beat Trump. There is nothing else to it. If you think she can't, then you need to work at helping her do that. There is already enough calamity and doom. We do not have a choice. We cannot lose sight of what is at stake here.
Kamala Harris/Whitmer and/or Shapiro and/or Buttigieg 2024.
The end.
#rionsanura#ask#politics for ts#jesus fucking christ#fucking hell#we don't live in a democracy any more either way#but we can still prevent trump#we cannot forget that#we cannot do anything else#kamala harris 2024#i guess this is how it goes now#fuck i'm going back to bed

P: Hufflepuff!Jungwon X Fem!Reader
Warnings: Fluff, Love Confessions.
Synopsis: After years of secretly admiring your brother's friend Jungwon, a mysterious and overly affectionate black cat appears just after Jungwon goes missing. Now who does this cat belong to? Why does your brother seem nervous? And most importantly, where has Jungwon gone?
masterlist
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
You weren't best friends with your brother. As siblings, you had a tendency to bicker, picking fights over the smallest thingsâwhose turn it was to set the table, who had borrowed whose stuff without asking. It was just how things were, and neither of you made much effort to change that. So when the Hogwarts acceptance letters arrived for the both of you, the thought of being sorted into the same house made you cringe.
You couldnât imagine anything worse than sharing a common room with him, dealing with his sarcastic comments every day, or worse, being seen together like you were⊠friends. Fortunately, fate, or the Sorting Hat, was on your side. He ended up in one house, and you in another. The relief was instant. You thought that would be the end of it, and the two of you would drift along separate paths without much need to cross each otherâs.
At least, thatâs what you thought until you saw one of his friends.
It was always by chanceâmaybe you were walking through the courtyard or passing through the Great Hallâbut there he was, standing next to your brother, laughing with that damn dimpled smile. His laugh was low and smooth, something that caught your ear and refused to let go. Your gaze lingered longer than youâd care to admit, taking in the confident way he leaned against the stone wall, the way his eyes sparkled with mischief.
And you couldnât help but wonder why your brother, of all people, got to be friends with him.
You didnât really mean to end up meeting your brotherâs friendâdefinitely not after youâd spent years pointedly ignoring their group whenever you saw them in the halls. But here you were, sitting in the library with your brother, who had been pestering you for daysâbegging, reallyâabout helping him in Transfiguration. At first, you ignored him, telling him to figure it out on his own like everyone else.
He had struggled with some spell that McGonagall had been drilling the class on, and though you initially refused (because who really wanted to give up their free time to help their sibling?), his relentless begging finally wore you down.
"Okay, okay, fine!" you had snapped. "Iâll help you, just stop whining about it."
Now, watching your brother fail the same transformation for the tenth time, you were starting to regret your decision. "No, youâre flicking your wand too fast," you muttered, rubbing your temple. "Itâs not a race, slow down and say the incantation clearly."
He groaned, clearly frustrated. "I am doing it right! Youâre just a bad teacher!"
You shot him a sharp look, your patience already worn thin from the past hour of back-and-forth bickering. "Oh really? So itâs my fault you canât turn a teacup into a tortoise?"
He slumped further into the chair, muttering under his breath while absentmindedly tapping his quill against the desk. You narrowed your eyes at him, watching as he lazily flicked through his notes without even looking at you.
âAre you even paying attention?â you snapped, crossing your arms. âOr is this just a waste of both our time?â
He shrugged, not even bothering to lift his head. "Iâm trying! Itâs not like youâre explaining it any better than Professor McGonagall does."
You sighed, rubbing the bridge of your nose in frustration. "Maybe if you focused for five seconds instead of acting like this is some kind of joke, youâd actually get it."
He shot you a glare, the frustration clearly mutual. "Maybe if you werenât so bossy, I wouldnât have to!"
"Youâre the one who begged me for help!" you snapped back. "If you donât want it, just say so and Iâll leave."
For a second, there was silence between you, both of you glaring at each other.
âHey, sorry to barge in. I didnât know youâd be here.â
You looked up, and there he was - Yang Jungwon. He was standing next to your brother, a relaxed grin on his face as if he hadnât just disrupted the painfully slow progress of your study session.
Your brother immediately perked up. âOh, hey, Jungwon! Iâll be done in like⊠five minutes?â he said, casting a hopeful glance at you.
Jungwonâs eyes flickered over to you, curiosity lighting them up. âOh, I didnât know you had a tutor,â he teased, sliding into the chair opposite yours without waiting for an invitation.
You opened your mouth to retort that you werenât a tutor, but your brother jumped in first. âYeah, lucky me, right?â he said, grinning cheekily, ignoring the way you glared at him.
Jungwon chuckled softly, leaning back as though he had all the time in the world. âIâm Yang Jungwon, by the way,â he said, his gaze finally locking onto yours, and you couldnât help but notice the warmth in his voice.
âYeah, I know,â you replied, trying to sound indifferent but feeling a little thrown off. You hadnât expected him to show up here of all places.
âSo, what are you two studying? Transfiguration, right?â Jungwon asked, glancing at the textbook.
âTrying to,â you said, emphasizing the word as you shot a look at your brother. âThough, heâs not exactly the best student.â
Jungwon laughed, the sound easy and light, and you found yourself listening a little too closely. âIâm sure youâre doing fine. You always manage, donât you?â he teased your brother, though his eyes kept flickering back to you. There was something in his gazeâcuriosity, maybe, or amusementâthat made it hard to look away.
You tried to refocus on your brother, but the atmosphere had shifted with Jungwonâs presence. And your brother seemed all too happy to let the tutoring session come to an abrupt end. Before you realized what was happening, he had packed up his things, slipping his quill and parchment into his bag with quick, practiced movements.
âWaitâhey, weâre not done,â you said, standing up from your seat, your voice carrying more frustration than intended.
Your brother shot you a cheeky grin, already halfway out the door with Jungwon by his side. âIâll finish it eventually!" he called back, not even glancing over his shoulder.
You opened your mouth to protest further, but it was too late. The door shut with a soft click, and the sounds of their fading footsteps echoed down the hallway. You let out an exasperated sigh, sinking back into your chair, the weight of unfinished work settling on your shoulders.
Just as you were about to lay your head on the desk in defeat, you caught sight of Madam Pince, walking by with her usual stern expression. She stopped next to your table, clutching a book in her hands. âItâs a struggle, isnât it?â she said, her voice softer than expected, though there was an unmistakable air of disapproval about her.
You blinked at her, still frustrated. âYeah, something like that.â
Without another word, she handed you a thick, worn-out book youâd requested earlierâone you had specifically asked for to help your brother with his Transfiguration problems. The irony wasnât lost on you as you stared at the cover.
"Hereâs the book you asked for," Madam Pince added. "I hope it helps."
"Thanks," you muttered, though your enthusiasm had drained. The moment she left, you groaned and let your head fall onto the desk with a thud.
Typical. Your brother was off having fun while you were stuck with the work he was supposed to be doing. Just your luck.
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
The next day, you headed to the courtyard, spotting your brother lounging with a group of his friendsâJungwon included. You took a deep breath, trying to suppress the irritation bubbling up as you approached. In your hand was a rolled-up assignment for Transfiguration that he had yet to complete, and you werenât about to let him get away with neglecting it.
âHey,â you said, walking up to the group and dropping the assignment on his lap. âYou need to finish this by tomorrow, or Professor McGonagallâs going to have your head.â
Your brother groaned dramatically but grabbed the parchment anyway. You were about to turn and leave when you noticed some of his friends eyeing you, their teasing smiles quickly making you uncomfortable.
âHey, Y/Nâ one of them said with a sly grin. âWhy havenât we seen you around more? You should join us sometime.â
Another chimed in, leaning in slightly. âYeah, maybe we could get to know you better. Bet youâre a lot more fun than your brother.â
You rolled your eyes, already tired of their attempts. But before you could respond, your brother cut in sharply. âOi, knock it off. Sheâs off-limits,â he said, his tone protective. âNo guyâs good enough for her.â
As much as you appreciated his overprotective attitude sometimes, this was one of those moments when it was more annoying than endearing. You crossed your arms and shot him a pointed look. âExcuse me? I decide when I want a boyfriend, and I sure donât need your approval.â
He scoffed, leaning back as if he had the upper hand. âYeah, well, you canât just pick any random guy. Iâm only looking out for you.â
You raised an eyebrow, your annoyance growing. âLooking out for me? Youâre just trying to scare off everyone. I can handle myself, thank you very much.â
The bickering began to escalate, the two of you going back and forth as his friends watched with barely concealed amusement. It wasnât until Jungwon, who had been watching quietly, stood up and approached that the argument came to an abrupt halt.
âAlright, thatâs enough of that,â Jungwon said with a calm smile, but there was a glint of amusement in his eyes. He grabbed your wrist, gently but firmly. âIâm walking her to her next class.â
You blinked, momentarily caught off guard, but before you could protest, he was already leading you away from the group. âYouâwait, whatââ
âTrust me,â he interrupted smoothly, glancing at you with that same easy smile, âyouâll thank me later.â
You reluctantly let him guide you through the courtyard, your brotherâs protests fading behind you. As you neared the Charms classroom, Jungwon slowed his pace, releasing your wrist and turning to face you.
âWell, here we are,â he said, his smile softening. Then, with a teasing tone, he added, âThough if you want me to walk you to class more often, all you have to do is ask.â
You raised an eyebrow, feeling your face heat up slightly at the unexpected flirtation. âVery smooth,â you muttered, trying to sound unimpressed, though the small smile tugging at your lips betrayed you.
Jungwon grinned, taking a step back. âI aim to please. See you around.â And with a casual wave, he walked off, leaving you standing at the door, your heart racing just a little faster than before.
The day after, you found out your brother had failed his Transfiguration lessonâagain. Much to your dismay, you heard about it through one of his friends who casually mentioned it in passing, as though it was no big deal.
When you finally confronted him in the courtyard, his response was as nonchalant as ever.
âI failed, so what?â he said, leaning back and shrugging. âIâll figure it out eventually. Itâs just one lesson.â
You crossed your arms, glaring at him. âYou do realize that if you fail again, Professor McGonagall will send a letter to our parents, right?â
That seemed to get his attention, but only for a moment. He still didnât look particularly bothered, which only made your frustration grow.
âAnd,â you continued, eyes narrowing, âyou wonât be allowed to continue playing Quidditch.â
His expression changed instantly, the casual attitude melting away as panic settled in. âWait, what?â
You smirked slightly, leaning in as if to drive the point home. âYeah. You think professor McGonagallâs going to let you get away with failing and still keep your spot on the team? Good luck with that.â
Your brother sat up straight, the reality of the situation sinking in. âButâQuidditch is⊠I canâtââ He ran a hand through his hair, looking genuinely worried now. âIf I canât play Quidditch, Iâll lose my spot for next year, and⊠and Mum and Dad will kill me if they find out Iâve been failing.â
You raised an eyebrow, enjoying the shift in power. âSo maybe you shouldâve taken our last session a little more seriously, huh?â
He shot you a desperate look, his usual bravado nowhere to be found. âAlright, fine! I get it. I messed up.â
You tilted your head, waiting for the inevitable.
âI need your help,â he admitted, his voice quieter now. âI canât afford to fail again, not with Quidditch on the line.â
You were just about to refuseâafter all, you had warned him plenty of times before. But before you could get the words out, he pleaded, âNo distractions this time. No friends, no tricks. Just me, focused, I swear. Please.â
You paused, arms crossed as you studied him. His expression was serious, and the desperation in his eyes was hard to ignore. It was a rare sightâyour brother begging for your help without any sarcasm or half-hearted promises.
âI donât know,â you said, pretending to think it over. âWhatâs in it for me?â
He groaned but quickly recovered, realizing this was his last shot. âAnything! Iâll do anything you ask, alright? Just⊠please.â
You smiled smugly, relishing the moment. âAnything, huh?â
He nodded frantically, looking like heâd sell his soul at this point if it meant saving his Quidditch spot.
âAlright,â you said, a slow grin spreading across your face. âIâll help you⊠but Iâll be cashing in on that âanythingâ promise sooner or later.â
He sighed in relief, though there was a hint of hesitation in his expression. âFine, whatever you want.â
You smirked, feeling the upper hand. âDeal.â
True to his word, your brother showed up to the library that evening, looking more focused than youâd ever seen him when it came to schoolwork. He set his books and wand down on the table, already prepared to start, though you could still sense a bit of reluctance in his posture.
âAlright,â you said, sitting across from him and opening the Transfiguration book to the chapter on animal transformations. âNo distractions. No shortcuts. Youâre going to get this right if itâs the last thing I do.â
He nodded, swallowing hard. âIâll try.â
You pulled out a teacup, placing it in front of him as you tapped your fingers on the table. âOkay, you know the incantation. Focus on the form of the animal, not just the spell. Visualize it fully.â
He sighed, gripping his wand tightly. âI know, I know. Itâs just⊠hard.â
âNot an excuse,â you said, not letting him off the hook. âGo on.â
He took a deep breath, aiming his wand at the teacup. âVera Verto.â
The teacup shook slightly, wobbling on the table before it started to change shapeïżœïżœslowly, very slowly. For a moment, it seemed like he might actually do it. But just as the teacup began to take the form of a small tortoise, it reverted back to its original state with a sharp clink.
He groaned, slumping back in his chair. âSee? I canât do it.â
âYouâre close,â you said, keeping your voice calm even though you were starting to get frustrated too. âYouâre overthinking the spell. Donât rush itâfocus on the animalâs form.â
He sat up straighter, taking a deep breath. âOkay, okay⊠letâs try again.â
Over the next hour, you guided him through the steps again and again, watching as he triedâand failedârepeatedly to get the teacup to fully transform. Each time, it got closer, but never quite there. Either the tortoise would have an odd shape, or the spell would falter halfway through.
Your patience started wearing thin, but you pushed through, determined to help him succeed.
âLook,â you said, leaning over the table and pointing at the page in the book. âYouâre rushing the incantation. Break it down, slower this time.â
He nodded, taking your advice seriously for once. He aimed his wand at the teacup again, this time speaking the spell more carefully, enunciating each word with deliberate focus. âVera Verto.â
The teacup quivered again, its edges shifting into a shell. Slowly, the handle morphed into a tiny, clawed foot. You both watched as the tortoiseâs form finally solidified. A small, slow-moving tortoise now sat on the table, blinking up at you.
Your brotherâs face lit up in surprise, his mouth falling open. âI did it?â
You couldnât help but smile, despite yourself. âYou actually did it.â
He beamed, picking up the tortoise carefully as if he couldnât believe it. âFinally! Merlinâs beard, I didnât think Iâd ever get it.â
âYeah, well,â you said, leaning back in your chair, âyou only got there because I was a great teacher.â
He snorted, setting the tortoise back on the table. âYeah, yeah, sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night.â
You raised an eyebrow, playfully swatting him on the arm. âDonât push your luck. Remember, you still owe me for this.â
He winced, but a grin tugged at his lips. âAlright, alright.â
You smirked, already plotting.
The next day, your brother returned from his Transfiguration class with a huge grin plastered on his face. He practically burst into the Grand Hall, eyes alight with excitement, and you knew immediately that something had gone well.
âI did it!â he exclaimed, rushing over to where you were seated. âI actually did it!â
You raised an eyebrow, setting your book aside. âWait, you actually passed?â
âNot just passed,â he said, standing tall, practically puffing out his chest. âI nailed it! McGonagall didnât even have to correct me once. She even said it was one of the best transformations in class!â
You couldnât help but laugh at how giddy he looked, the tension from the past few days completely gone from his shoulders. âIâm impressed. I didnât think youâd pull it off, honestly.â
âHey, Iâm not that hopeless,â he shot back, but his smile stayed wide and bright. âBut seriously, thanks to you. If you hadnât made me practice all those times, Iâd still be failing.â
You smirked, giving him a mock-salute. âWell, thatâs what good teachers do. And, you know, you can keep playing Quidditch now, so I guess thatâs a bonus.â
At the mention of Quidditch, his excitement seemed to double. âYes! Merlin, if I had to quit the team, Iâd be dead. Thereâs no way Iâm telling Mum and Dad that I failed Transfiguration and got kicked off the team.â
You chuckled, watching him bounce on his feet like an overexcited first-year. âWell, you donât have to worry about that anymore. Now you can focus on your matches without McGonagall breathing down your neck.â
He nodded eagerly, practically vibrating with joy. âExactly! I canât wait for the next practice. Iâm going to crush it.â
You shook your head, amused at how his mood had completely flipped from just a few days ago. âJust remember to keep up with your studies, alright? Iâm not going to bail you out every time you forget to do your homework.â
He gave you a mock pout. âWhat, youâre not going to tutor me forever?â
âNot a chance,â you said, laughing. âIâve got my own work to focus on. Youâll just have to survive on your own from now on.â
He groaned dramatically but was clearly too happy to complain for real. âFine, fine. But seriously, thanks. I owe you big time.â
You grinned, leaning back in your chair. âIâll hold you to that.â
As he ran off to tell his friends the good news, you couldnât help but feel a little proud of him. Despite all the bickering and the endless complaints, he had finally pulled it off. And, in a way, it felt like a win for both of you.
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
The courtyard was buzzing with students enjoying a rare free afternoon, and your brother, now full of confidence from his recent success in Transfiguration, had taken it upon himself to show off his newfound skills. With a small group gathered around him, he cast spell after spell, transforming objects into animals with exaggerated flair. He was basking in the attention, especially from his friends, who cheered every time he succeeded.
"Watch this!" your brother said proudly, aiming his wand at a stray quill. âVera Verto!â
The quill shifted into a small, fluffy rabbit, hopping around on the cobblestone, much to the crowdâs delight. He grinned, feeling invincible now that he had McGonagallâs praise under his belt. Emboldened, he attempted another transformation, but his next spell shot out of his wand faster than he anticipated. It veered wildly across the courtyard, completely missing the intended target.
The errant spell flew in an arc, headed straight for the far end of the courtyard where Jungwon had just been walking, completely unaware of the chaotic show your brother was putting on. Before anyone could react, the spell hit Jungwon square in the back.
In a flash, the Hufflepuff boy wasnât standing there anymore.
Instead, a small black cat with bright, intelligent eyes stood in his place, looking confused for a split second. Jungwonâor rather, the cat that had been Jungwonâflicked his tail and darted away before anyone in the crowd could notice the commotion. He vanished between the hedges that lined the courtyard, disappearing into the maze of gardens beyond.
Your brother stood frozen for a moment, his eyes wide as he realized what had happened. One of his friends nudged him, oblivious to the seriousness of the situation. "Nicely done! What did you hit this time?"
âUhâŠâ he stammered, looking in the direction where Jungwon had been, but the cat was long gone. âI think I mightâve just⊠hit someone.â
One of the other students burst into laughter, thinking it was part of the fun. âWhat, you turned someone into a rabbit again?â
Your brother didnât laugh. âNo. Worse. I think I just turned Jungwon into a cat.â
The laughter around him died down quickly as the reality of what heâd done began to settle in. âWhat do you mean, a cat?â one of his friends asked, their tone becoming more serious.
But before your brother could respond, he was already hurrying toward the edge of the courtyard, scanning the area where Jungwon had disappeared. âWe have to find him before anyone else does!â he muttered to himself, a growing sense of dread filling him.
However, Jungwonâor the catâwas nowhere in sight. He had bolted the moment the spell hit, and now he had vanished without a trace, leaving your brother to deal with the consequences of his reckless display.
The problem was, turning someone into an animal was one thingâbut reversing it? That was a whole different level of Transfiguration.
Your brother searched frantically, darting around the courtyard and calling out for Jungwon. âJungwon! Where are you?â he shouted, a note of desperation creeping into his voice. The laughter from his friends had faded, replaced by concerned murmurs as they began to realize the seriousness of the situation.
He sprinted around the corner where Jungwon had vanished, scanning every nook and cranny, every shadow cast by the towering castle walls. âCome on, this isnât funny!â he pleaded, hoping that maybe, just maybe, Jungwon would pop out from behind a bush or the edge of a statue, ready to reveal that it had all been a prank.
But Hogwarts was vast, and as the minutes stretched on, the reality began to sink in. Jungwonânow a catâhad disappeared without a trace. Your brother ran a hand through his hair, panic rising within him. He couldn't afford to get caught for this.
Turning back to his friends, he lowered his voice, urgency clear in his tone. âOkay, listen. You canât say anything about this. If any professors find out Jungwon is missing, weâll all be in trouble. We need to find him before anyone notices.â
His friends exchanged worried glances but nodded in agreement. They understood how serious the situation was. âRight,â one of them said, trying to lighten the mood, though the tension was palpable. âLetâs just act like weâre studying for the next couple of hours. If we canât find Jungwon, maybe heâll come back on his own.â
Your brother nodded, but doubt gnawed at him. What if he didnât? He felt responsibleâif he hadnât been so eager to show off, Jungwon wouldnât have been turned into a cat in the first place. âWeâll check all the usual spots,â he said, determination sparking in his eyes. âHe might head for the Hufflepuff common room or the kitchens.â
They split up, your brother retracing his steps back through the castle, checking every corner, every common area, and even asking other students if theyâd seen a small black cat. But the castle was sprawling and labyrinthine; the longer he searched, the more overwhelmed he felt.
As the minutes turned into an hour, frustration bubbled up inside him. âThis is pointless!â he muttered under his breath, leaning against a wall in a deserted corridor. âHow could I let this happen?â
After another fruitless round, he finally returned to the courtyard, panting slightly. His friends were gathered in a huddle, whispering amongst themselves, and he felt a flicker of hope. âDid you find anything?â
One of his friends shook his head. âNo sign of him anywhere. Itâs like he just vanished.â
Your brother sighed, frustration and guilt mingling in his chest. âIf we donât find him soon, itâs only a matter of time before someone notices heâs missing from class. Professor McGonagall will have our heads.â
Just then, a flicker of movement caught his eye. He turned, but it was only a crow flitting across the courtyard, cawing loudly. Your brotherâs heart sank. Hogwarts was just too big; how could he possibly find Jungwon in a castle that could swallow whole entire groups of students?
With a defeated expression, he sank onto a bench, burying his face in his hands. âWhat am I going to do? I didnât mean for this to happen.â
His friends joined him, unsure of how to comfort him. âWeâll figure it out,â one of them said, trying to reassure him. âWe just need to keep looking.â
But deep down, your brother couldnât shake the feeling that they were running out of time. He was the one responsible for turning Jungwon into a cat.
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
You were sitting on the ground near the edge of the Hogwarts grounds, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the courtyard. The view was peaceful, and with a gentle breeze rustling the trees around you, it felt like a perfect moment to relax with your book.
Just as you settled into the first chapter, a small rustling sound caught your attention.. You looked up, surprised to see a small black cat making its way toward you, its greenish-gold eyes trained intently on you. The cat was sleek, with a slight glimmer to its fur under the sunlight, and it moved gracefully, weaving through the grass until it was at your feet.
âHey there, little one,â you murmured, smiling as the cat sat down, regarding you with an almost curious gaze. Without hesitation, it leaped into your lap, settling down with a soft, contented purr.
The book forgotten, you brought a hand up to stroke its head, running your fingers gently over its soft fur. The catâs purring grew louder, and it nestled into you, pressing its tiny head against your hand as if asking for more.
âWell, arenât you a friendly one?â you said, chuckling as it leaned into your touch. You hadnât expected it, but this little black cat was endearing itself to you quickly. Every time you paused in your petting, it would nudge its head under your hand, practically demanding more affection.
You laughed, charmed by the catâs insistence. âAlright, alright, you win. More pets it is,â you murmured, resuming your gentle strokes.
The cat sprawled out across your lap, stretching its small limbs and settling back down with a sigh, its eyes half-closed as it drifted into a state of utter relaxation.
Minutes slipped by as you sat there, the black cat curled up happily in your lap, and any thoughts of returning to your book faded completely. âWhatâs a cat like you doing out here all by yourself?â you asked softly, smiling as it nudged its head up to meet your gaze. The cat simply blinked at you, its eyes clear and bright, before it began to purr even louder, pressing its small paws against your legs in a way that was almost⊠human-like.
You let out a small laugh, rubbing your thumb over the top of its head. âAlright, alright, youâre stealing all my attention,â you murmured. âI should be reading, but youâre just too cute.â The cat looked up at you with an expression that almost seemed like a smirk before closing its eyes again, purring louder than ever.
With a contented sigh, you leaned back against the tree, unaware that youâd just found Jungwonâand that he was thoroughly enjoying your company.
Eventually, the afternoon sun began to dip lower, and you knew it was time to return to the castle. With a sigh, you shifted in your seat, giving the cat a gentle nudge to encourage it off your lap.
âAlright, little one. I have to get back,â you murmured. The cat gave a low, disappointed-sounding meow, but leapt gracefully onto the ground as you stood. Just as you turned to gather your things, however, the cat started to weave between your ankles, pawing at your robes with insistent little meows.
You tried taking a step, but the cat was immediately at your heels, pressing against your leg as though it had no intention of letting you leave. When you moved forward, it darted up and batted playfully at your robes, trying to climb up and cling on as you walked.
âOh, Merlin, you really donât want me to go, do you?â you muttered, bending down to scoop the cat into your arms. As soon as you lifted it, it relaxed, its head nuzzling against your neck as it purred deeply, seeming more than content to be carried. You couldnât help but smile, feeling the soft fur warm against your skin and the gentle tickle of its whiskers along your throat.
âAlright, you can come with me,â you said with a soft chuckle, the catâs wide eyes blinking up at you as though it fully understood. You held it securely, feeling the vibrations of its purring as it squished its head into the crook of your neck. It was surprisingly calming, and you found yourself enjoying the quiet presence of this affectionate little creature as you made your way back through the castle halls.
By the time you reached your common room, you had half a mind to keep it, especially as it snuggled closer, its whiskers brushing against your chin. âIâll have to find your owner,â you whispered, though the cat gave no sign it wanted to leave your arms any time soon.
With a sigh, you stepped into the common room, glancing around at your fellow housemates and wondering if any of them had ever seen this black cat before. But as you felt the warmth of its tiny body snuggled against you, part of you wasnât in any hurry to hand it over.
As you asked around the common room, you realized none of your housemates recognized the little black cat nestled in your arms. Some shrugged, while others asked to pet it, and each time you shook your head, a small part of you felt a guilty spark of relief. No one knew where it had come from, and no one seemed to be looking for it.
With the sky darkening outside and a long day behind you, you headed up to your dorm to change, gently setting the cat down as you pulled on your coziest clothes. No sooner had you settled onto your bed than the cat leapt up, its movements silent and smooth. It padded around your blankets, kneading the fabric with its tiny paws and purring so loudly you couldnât help but smile.
âOh, no, noâif the house-elves find fur on the bed, theyâll be madâ you muttered, making a half-hearted attempt to shoo the cat off your bed. But when it turned and met your gaze, its bright eyes watching you with an innocent curiosity, you found yourself softening. The cat tilted its head, curling up against your side, its eyes half-closed as if perfectly content in your presence.
âFine, you can stay,â you sighed, scooting over to make a little more room. The cat wasted no time, settling down right next to you and resting its tiny head on the blanket as if it belonged there.
With each slow, deep rumble of its purr, a calmness settled over you. You rested a hand lightly on its back, feeling the softness of its fur under your fingers. Soon, its gentle kneading softened, and the rhythmic rise and fall of its breathing lulled you into a state of relaxation.
Just as your eyes were beginning to flutter closed, the cat shifted, moving to rest its head against your hand, a contented weight in the dim quiet of the room. You chuckled softly, feeling the warmth of the small creature by your side, and drifted into sleep, the catâs purring accompanying you into peaceful dreams.
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
Jungwon blinked, his new vision sharper in the dim light, taking in every detail of your sleeping face. The feline instincts were strongâcomforting, evenâbut his human mind lingered just beneath them, stirring with a confusing blend of emotions.
When heâd first bolted from the courtyard, his mind had been clouded with panic. All he could think of was escaping, getting somewhere quiet, somewhere safe. But then heâd picked up on your scentâsoft, familiarâand without a second thought, heâd followed it. His cat instincts hadnât questioned why; they simply led him to you, to the one place that felt right.
Now, as he curled beside you, his heart pounded in a strange mixture of relief and guilt. He should be searching for help, finding someone who could reverse the spell and put an end to this humiliating predicament. But looking at you now, seeing the peaceful expression on your face and the faint smile gracing your lips, he felt something different.
You looked⊠happy. Content. The way you had opened your arms to him, stroking his fur and letting him stay closeâit had made his heart race even in this small, helpless form. In the past, heâd admired you from a distance, always caught off guard by his nerves whenever you were near. But here, under the guise of this small, black cat, he was finally close to you without the hesitance.
He felt torn, his human logic telling him this was ridiculousâhe had to find a professor, get back to normal, explain to you what happened. But another part of himâthe soft purrs escaping without his control, the way his little paws kept kneading against the blanketâwanted to stay just a little longer. Just until the morning.
For now, he let himself settle into the comfort of your presence, letting his instincts guide him. After all, you looked far too pretty to disturb with a frown when you found out the truth.
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
The days slipped by, and despite your best efforts, you found yourself no closer to finding the catâs owner. Youâd asked around, stopping classmates in the hall, mentioning the small black cat that had so readily taken up residence on your bed, but no one claimed it. Each time, you received the same answersâshakes of the head, puzzled expressions, a few amused smiles.
With every passing day, the cat became more of a fixture in your life. Each morning before leaving for class, youâd give him a little scratch behind the ears, feeling his soft purrs ripple through your hand. And each evening, youâd return to find him curled up in the same spot on your bed, his little form nestled in the blankets, his tiny paws tucked under his chest as if he owned the place. There was something comforting about his presence, and you noticed how heâd glance up at you with those intense, knowing eyes every time you walked in, as if heâd been waiting for you all day.
The catâwho youâd started calling âOnyxâ in your headâseemed perfectly content. Heâd stretch luxuriously when you arrived, basking in any attention you or your housemates would give him, blinking slowly and rubbing his head against your hand, as if he were marking you as his own. And he was endlessly spoiled by your housemates, who would sneak in to pet him whenever they could, laughing over his unusual attachment to you.
Meanwhile, your brother seemed on the verge of a complete breakdown. Every time you caught sight of him in the hallways, he was muttering under his breath, eyes darting around as if he expected Jungwon to materialize out of thin air. His friends could barely keep up with his frantic pace as he searched the school from top to bottom, interrogating classmates, making excuses to professors, and even peeking into the kitchens.
One afternoon, when you saw him dashing through the courtyard, you raised an eyebrow at him. âYou look like youâre about to explode. Whatâs going on?â
He ran a hand through his hair, clearly exasperated. âNothing, nothingâjust⊠I lost something really important. And if I donât find it soon, Iâm going to be in so much trouble,â he said, casting a wary glance over his shoulder as though he expected it to appear any second.
You patted his shoulder, offering him a sympathetic smile. âGood luck, then. Iâm sure youâll find it,â you said, trying to reassure him. But you had no idea that the âlost itemâ he was so desperately searching for was happily snoozing on your bed, completely unaware of the chaos heâd left in his wake.
Jungwon, or Onyx, stretched lazily, content to continue napping in the warm scent of your blankets, savoring each gentle pet and scratching his cheek against your hand whenever you came close. His human instincts occasionally tugged at him, whispering that he should reveal himself, that he should find a way back to normal. But the comfort of your presence, the gentle affection, and the sound of your laughter as you spoke to him were too good to leave just yet.
Four days after youâd found the little black cat, it struck you that you hadnât seen Jungwon around. Usually, youâd spot him at least once a dayâsitting with your brother at meals, laughing with his Hufflepuff friends in the courtyard, or even catching him in the hallways. But now that you thought about it, heâd been strangely absent, his cheerful presence nowhere to be found.
Curious, you tracked down your brother between classes, catching him just as he was shoving books into his bag. âHey, have you seen Jungwon? Itâs been days. Is he alright?â
Your brother stiffened ever so slightly before glancing up with what he probably hoped was a casual look. âJungwon? Oh, yeah, heâs⊠heâs fine. Just sick. Nothing to worry about.â
You raised an eyebrow at his rushed answer. âReally? I thought heâd usually be back by now. Heâs not usually the type to miss this much class.â
âHeâll be back soon, donât worry about it,â your brother said quickly, slinging his bag over his shoulder. âHeâs probably just lying low until he feels better.â
âAlright⊠well, tell him I hope he feels better,â you said, giving him a small smile before turning back to your own things.
Your brother nodded, though his face was tight with worry. But you didnât notice his nervous glances, already distracted by the thought of getting back to âOnyx,â who was likely curled up on your bed, waiting for you. You didnât give Jungwonâs absence much more thought, trusting your brotherâs explanation, but you made a mental note to check in with Jungwon as soon as he returned.
When you slipped into your dorm room, carefully unwrapping the napkin bundle, the savory scent of chicken filled the air, and the cat immediately perked up. The moment you set the pieces down, he eagerly devoured them, tail flicking with excitement. You chuckled softly, watching as he polished off every last bite, licking his lips in pure satisfaction.
As you turned to grab your bag, Onyx suddenly jumped up, landing neatly on your shoulder. Startled, you reached up instinctively to hold him steady, and he nuzzled against you, purring loudly. You couldnât help but laugh, scratching behind his ear. âYou know I have to go, right?â
Onyx blinked at you, his bright eyes wide, and let out a small, soft meow, almost pleading. His paws lightly pressed against your chest as he settled into your arms, curling his tiny body closer as if he had no intention of letting you leave.
âAlright, alrightâŠâ you sighed, giving in as he snuggled into your embrace. Muggle Studies could wait, couldnât it? What were a few facts about telephones compared to this soft, warm ball of fluff purring contently against you? You slipped off your shoes, set your bag down, and climbed onto your bed, pulling the blankets over the both of you as Onyx nestled against your shoulder, his purring a gentle hum in the quiet room.
As you traced gentle patterns along his fur, he stretched his little head up, his whiskers tickling your cheek as he nuzzled closer, eyes half-closed with contentment. The warmth of the moment filled you with a sense of peace, and you drifted off into a light nap, your arm curled protectively around him, wondering absently why this small creature felt so right here with you.
The following day, as you sat nestled in a corner of the library, flipping through your notes, your brother slid into the seat across from you, an odd look on his face. You glanced up, raising an eyebrow at his nervous expression.
âHey, I need⊠um, a little help with something,â he started, tapping his fingers against the table.
You set your quill down. âAlright, spill it. Whatâs going on?â
He cleared his throat, glancing around as if worried someone might overhear. âI just⊠well, I wanted to know the incantation to reverse⊠an animal transformation. You know, from animal back to human.â
âAn animal transformation?â you repeated, giving him a quizzical look. âWhy would you need that? UnlessâŠâ You narrowed your eyes. âDonât tell me youâve been practicing transfiguration spells on yourself or your friends.â
He waved his hand dismissively, though his nervous laugh didnât help his case. âNothing like that. Iâm just⊠curious! Thought Iâd get a head start, just in case we need it for class.â His voice was unconvincing, and you tilted your head, not buying it.
âUh-huh. Right. So you just need a random incantation for a transfiguration reversal?â you pressed, crossing your arms.
âExactly,â he said, nodding eagerly. âItâs really just for, you know, future knowledge.â
You werenât convinced, but he was desperate, and you found yourself softening under his pleading gaze. âFine, Iâll teach you. But you owe meâno, you owe me two favors for this.â You held up two fingers, your expression firm.
âDeal,â he said instantly, relief flashing across his face.
With a sigh, you gestured for him to take a seat beside you, flipping open your transfiguration notes. âAlright, listen carefully. The reversal incantation isnât simple. You have to focus on the original form of the person and their essence before casting. If you donât concentrate, itâll either fail or, worse, only half-work,â you explained, watching as he nodded along, his expression tense.
As you practiced the incantation with him, you couldnât shake the feeling that there was more to this story. But, for now, you focused on teaching him the spell, repeating it until he could say it smoothly, his confidence growing with each repetition.
"Just⊠remember, donât go using this on any poor creatures for âfun,â alright?â you added as you finished up, giving him a stern look.
âYeah, yeah, of course,â he replied, though his gaze darted away. You rolled your eyes, hoping heâd stick to his word.
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
As the days stretched on, Jungwon felt the line between his human and feline instincts beginning to blur. Heâd started feeling strange, odd urges pulling at him that he didnât quite understand but felt impossible to resist. The need to chase things that moved quicklyâflickering lights, loose threads, even the feathery tips of your quill as you wroteâall of it stirred a primal thrill in him. His ears perked up at the slightest sounds, and he found himself irresistibly drawn to the cozy comfort of curling up beside you.
At night, heâd stretch out over your stomach or chest, his paws kneading into you as he settled down. The warmth of your body and the steady rise and fall of your breathing soothed him, and he would close his eyes, purring loudly as he drifted off. During the day, whenever you studied in the common room, he would find a spot to settle between your thighs, his little head resting comfortably against your leg, peeking up at you whenever he wanted a little scratch behind the ears.
But the more he settled into his role as your personal shadow, the more possessive he became. If one of your male housemates so much as got too close, his eyes would narrow, his ears flattening as a low, warning hiss escaped him. His back would arch slightly, and they would back off quickly, shooting you wide-eyed looks as they muttered apologies. The second they were gone, Jungwon would leap up onto your shoulders, his tail flicking with satisfaction as he licked your cheek, snuggling against you as if to say, Mine.
When you wore oversized hoodies or sweaters, he couldnât resist crawling under the soft, cozy fabric, his little head poking out at your collar. It was his favorite spot, snug and warm, and heâd curl up contentedly, letting out a rumbling purr every time you scratched his head. Your housemates couldnât help but laugh, dubbing him âyour sonâ and teasing you whenever he was glued to your side.
âHeâs practically attached to you, isnât he?â one of your friends laughed as Jungwon, true to form, climbed onto your lap and lay there, eyes half-closed in contentment.
You shrugged, petting him gently. âGuess he just knows heâs found someone whoâll spoil him.â
He would chase after loose threads from your clothes, batting them playfully with his paws as if they were the most fascinating toys in the world. His playful antics brought you endless joy; you often found yourself laughing as he pounced and rolled, completely entranced by his own reflection in a nearby window.
When nighttime fell and you settled into bed, Jungwon would curl up on your chest, his small, warm body rising and falling with each breath you took. In those quiet moments, he would gaze up at you with wide, adoring eyes, completely mesmerized. In his cat mind, you were the woman for himâhis perfect companion. He would think about how soft your skin was and how lovely it was to be close to you, relishing the sound of your heartbeat beneath him.
He became clingier than ever, following you around the common room and weaving through your legs, his purring becoming a constant background noise in your life. If you left the room, heâd meow softly, almost in protest, as if urging you to come back. When you werenât around, Jungwon would curl up on your bed, his eyes half-closed as he waited patiently for your return. Each time he heard the sound of the door opening, heâd perk up, tail flicking excitedly, ready to shower you with affection the moment you stepped inside.
If you were studying or hanging out with friends, Jungwon would find a way to squeeze into your lap or snuggle against your side, his soft fur inviting you to pet him.
He would often steal your attention, meowing softly until you looked down at him, his bright eyes pleading for affection.
Your pet owl, however, became a rare source of conflict. The moment you started cooing to it, stroking its feathers, Jungwon would watch with narrowed eyes, his gaze intent, as if he were sizing up a rival. Heâd immediately trot over to you, swatting gently at your hand with his paw, a soft mrrp leaving his mouth as he demanded your attention. If you gave in, heâd snuggle close, basking in the affection as if heâd won some unspoken victory.
To everyone else, it was obvious you had somehow become this little black catâs world.
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
One crisp afternoon, you stepped out of your dorm with your housemates, the sun streaming through the tall windows of Hogwarts. You all laughed and chatted, excitement buzzing in the air as you discussed plans for the weekend. Just as you were about to leave the common room, one of your friends suddenly exclaimed, âOh no! I forgot my Potions book!â
âIâll be right back!â they called, dashing back inside the cozy room.
The rest of you continued down the corridor, blissfully unaware that the door had swung ajar, leaving just enough space for a curious little black cat to slip through unnoticed. Jungwon, feeling adventurous, seized the opportunity to dart after your friends, his instincts kicking in as he decided to trust his nose to find you. Your perfumeâsweet and comfortingâdrew him in like a moth to a flame.
Navigating the familiar halls of Hogwarts, he quickly made his way through the bustling corridors, weaving past students and ignoring the occasional glance thrown his way.
Finally, he spotted you in the courtyard, nestled comfortably on a bench with your favorite book in hand. The sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows around you, and for a moment, Jungwon was mesmerized by how serene you looked, completely absorbed in your reading. He couldnât help but let out a little meow, excitement bubbling up as he began to sprint toward you.
But just as he was about to reach you, your brother appeared out of nowhere, stepping directly into Jungwonâs path. The sudden block caught him off guard, and he skidded to a halt, a startled yelp escaping his mouth. Your brother crouched down, arms outstretched, attempting to scoop Jungwon up, but he had other plans.
With a quick flick of his paw, Jungwon hissed, his instincts kicking in as he squirmed to escape. âHey! No!â your brother protested, eyes widening as he struggled to keep a hold on the wriggling black cat.
Jungwon protested, hissing and wriggling in his grip, desperately trying to escape. The sound was startling and unusual, catching the attention of several students nearby who turned to witness the scene unfolding, including yours.
âWhatâs happening?â you shouted, your heart dropping as you recognized the little black cat your brother was trying to grab. âOnyx!â
At the sound of your voice, Jungwon's ears perked up, and he whipped around to look at you, desperate for help. Before your brother could fully grasp him, Jungwon managed to twist free from his grip, leaping out of his hands and bounding straight into yours.
You caught him with a gasp, the soft weight of him settling against you instantly warming your heart. âWhat are you doing?â you exclaimed, cradling him protectively as you shot a glance at your brother. Jungwon meanwhile purred loudly, rubbing his cheek against your hand as if to say, Yes, this is exactly where I want to be.
âWhatâs going on?â you asked, concern lacing your voice as you glanced at your brother.
âUh, itâs nothing, really,â he replied, attempting to brush off the situation with a half-hearted smile.
You narrowed your eyes at him. âCome on, just tell me the truth.â
Your brother sighed, his shoulders slumping as he relented. âOkay, okay! The cat youâre holding... itâs Jungwon. I, um, accidentally turned him into a cat during Transfiguration practice.â
Your heart sank as you looked down at Jungwon, who was nestled comfortably against your chest, blissfully unaware of the chaos surrounding him. âAre you sure this is Jungwon?â you asked, concern lacing your voice.
He nodded vigorously, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. âI swear! It was an accident! I didnât mean for it to happen, I justââ
With a deep sigh, you set Jungwon down gently, your mind racing. Pulling out your wand, you focused on the spell needed to reverse the transformation. âAlright, just hold still, Jungwon,â you instructed softly. âReverso Animus!â you said clearly, watching as the familiar golden light enveloped Jungwon.
In an instant, the small black cat began to shimmer and shift, growing in size until you were staring at the unmistakable form of Jungwon himself. Your eyes widened in shock as he stood up slowly, looking at his hands, then down at his body as if he couldnât believe he was back to normal.
âIâm back!â he exclaimed, a bright smile spreading across his face, laughter bubbling up as his friends and your brother rushed to surround him, excitement and relief evident on their faces.
âIâm so sorry, Jungwon!â your brother shouted over the commotion, his voice filled with a thousand apologies, clearly trying to make amends for his mistake. âI didnât mean to!â
Jungwon squirmed in the midst of his friends, a frown tugging at his lips as he watched you walk away. His heart raced, the familiar urge to be near you pulling at him like a magnetic force. He tried to push through the throng of excited voices and laughter, reaching out for you with desperation, but his friends held him back, oblivious to the intensity of his need to follow.
âCome on, Jungwon! Celebrate with us!â one of them cheered, clapping him on the back, but Jungwon could barely muster a smile. His eyes remained locked on your retreating figure, the sight of you disappearing into the building stirring a pang of disappointment within him.
âCome on, Jungwon! Youâve got to tell us everything!â one of them exclaimed, laughing as they playfully tousled his hair. Another chimed in, âYouâve been a cat for days! We want the scoop!â
He felt the playful nudges and laughter of his friends, but they only served to heighten his frustration. No longer just a cat who sought warmth and comfort, he was a boy desperate for connection, with you. He bit his lip, glancing between your back and the cheerful faces surrounding him, feeling an overwhelming urge to break free.
When you finally disappeared through the doors, Jungwonâs heart sank. With a determined huff, he pushed past the clutches of his friends, murmuring a half-hearted excuse that went unnoticed amidst their excitement.
âGuys, Iâll be right back!â he called out, his voice firm as he took off in the direction you had gone.
He navigated the winding corridors of Hogwarts, his mind racing as he thought of all the things he wanted to say. Iâm sorry for the chaos, he wanted to tell you. Thank you for changing me back, and more than anything, I love you.
However, as he rounded a corner near the Great Hall, he lost sight of you. The bustling crowd of students moved like a tide, and just like that, you were gone. A wave of defeat washed over him. He pushed through the throngs, glancing into classrooms and common areas, calling your name softly, but there was no response.
Frustration bubbled within him, mingling with disappointment. Why did I let them hold me back? he berated himself. He felt like a fool for not breaking away sooner, for not insisting on finding you right away.
With a heavy sigh, he leaned against the cool stone wall, he could picture the look of confusion on your face, the hurt in your eyes when you realized.
âIâll find you tomorrow,â he promised himself, determination creeping back in. It would have to be enough for now. He knew he had to make it right, to explain everything and show you just how much he valued you.
Resolving to make a plan, Jungwon walked back to the common room, his mind swirling with ideas. He would catch you after class, or maybe in the courtyard where you often read. Heâd find a way to make sure you heard him, no matter what it took. Tomorrow, he would not let anythingâor anyoneâget in the way of what he needed to say.
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
The next day, the bustling halls of Hogwarts seemed to stretch endlessly as Jungwon searched for you, his heart pounding with anticipation. After your final class, he spotted you in the corridor, laughter spilling from your lips as you chatted with a few friends. His heart raced at the sight of you, and he felt a surge of determination.
Summoning every ounce of courage, he quietly approached from behind, his nerves buzzing. Before he could second-guess himself, he gently pulled you into an empty classroom, the door clicking shut behind you with a soft thud.
âY/N,â he said, his voice steady yet filled with urgency, âwe need to talk.â
You blinked, taken aback by the sudden shift in the atmosphere. The moment felt charged, a whirlwind of emotions swirling between you. Jungwon took a moment to gather his thoughts, his gaze unwavering. âIâve wanted to say this for so long,â he continued, stepping closer. âI love being with you. These past days, especially with everything that happened when I was⊠you know, a cat. I didnât realize just how much I needed you.â
Your heart raced at his confession. âJungwon, I⊠I didnât know you felt that way,â you stammered, surprised by the warmth blooming in your chest. The memories of cuddling with him as a cat rushed backâhis soft purrs, the way heâd nuzzle against you, how safe and happy he made you feel. âYou showed me your vulnerable side. I cared for you so much, and I want to be with you too, but I need some time to process everything that happened.â
Jungwonâs expression softened, understanding flooding his eyes. âI get it,â he said gently, taking a step closer. âBut I want you to know how I feel. I loved every moment we spent together, even when I was just a cat. You were there for me, and it felt so real. Itâs like I could finally be myself around you.â
You felt your heart swell at his words, the sincerity behind them washing over you like a warm tide, glancing down at your feet for a moment, feeling the weight of your feelings pressing on your chest. âIt was confusing at first. But seeing you back as Jungwon⊠it feels so right.â
Jungwon stepped even closer, his hand brushing against yours, sending a spark of electricity up your arm. âI care about you so much, Y/N. Itâs like youâre my safe place, and I want to be able to share everything with you, the good and the bad.â
His sincerity wrapped around you like a warm blanket, and you couldnât help but lean closer, feeling drawn to him in ways you couldnât explain. âI feel that way too,â you confessed, your voice barely above a whisper.
âWe can take it slow, see where this leads us without rushing. I just want to be with you, no matter the form it takes.â
Without hesitation, he wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a warm embrace. You melted against him, feeling the tension dissolve in the comfort of his presence.
When you both pulled back slightly, Jungwon's expression turned serious. âIf you ever feel unsure or need space, just tell me, okay? I want you to feel safe with me.â
You nodded, appreciating his sensitivity. âI promise.â
He smiled, a mixture of relief and affection lighting up his face.
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
Over the next two days, your mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Every moment was filled with thoughts of Jungwon, replaying your conversation in that empty classroom. You knew you had to make a decision, and every time you thought of him, your heart swelled with a sense of belonging and excitement.
Finally, the day arrived when you couldnât hold it in any longer. After your last class, you took a deep breath, steeling yourself as you made your way through the bustling halls of Hogwarts, searching for him. When you spotted Jungwon leaning against a wall, laughing with a couple of friends, your heart raced.
âHey, can we talk?â you called, trying to sound casual, though your nerves were anything but.
His gaze shifted to you, and the moment he saw you, his smile widened. âOf course!â He excused himself from his friends and walked toward you, the laughter fading as anticipation filled the air.
You took a deep breath, glancing down momentarily to gather your thoughts. âIâve been thinking a lot about what we talked about the other day,â you began, feeling your heart race. âAnd I realized⊠I want to be together.â
Jungwonâs eyes lit up with joy, and before you could react, he stepped forward and twirled you around in an ecstatic hug. âReally? Are you serious?â he exclaimed, laughter bubbling in his voice.
You laughed along, feeling weight lift off your shoulders as you embraced the happiness of the moment. When he set you down, he looked into your eyes, a mixture of surprise and delight on his face. âI canât believe this!â
His joy was infectious, and you couldnât help but smile back at him. âI just⊠I really like you, Jungwon. Iâve felt it for a while now.â
His expression softened as he stepped closer. âSo, can IâŠ?â He hesitated for a moment, then grinned cheekily. âCan I get a kiss?â
Your heart raced again, but you nodded, feeling a rush of excitement. You leaned in, and as your lips met, the world around you faded away. It was gentle at first, but as you melted into the kiss, it deepened, filled with all feelings you both shared.
When you pulled back, breathless and smiling, your thoughts suddenly turned to your brother. You remembered his protective stance, always claiming that no guy was good enough for you. The sudden wave of worry hit you, and you glanced down, biting your lip. âUm, so⊠about my brotherâŠâ
Jungwon raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity in his expression. âWhat about him?â
You sighed, feeling a bit sheepish. âHe can be a bit⊠overprotective. Heâs probably going to have a lot to say about us being together. I just⊠I hope he doesnât freak out or anything.â
Jungwon chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with mischief. âI think I can handle him. Besides, Iâm the one who got turned into a cat. If anything, I should have some kind of clout, right?â
You couldnât help but laugh at that. âTrue, you do have a unique story. But still, I just donât want him to think poorly of you.â
âHey,â he said gently, lifting your chin so you met his gaze. âI promise Iâll do my best to win him over. I care about you, and I want him to see that. Plus, if he sees how happy you are, he might just come around.â
You nodded, comforted by his words. âYouâre right."
With a playful grin, Jungwon wrapped an arm around your shoulders. âThen letâs tackle this together. How about we talk to him after dinner? Just the three of us?â
âOkay,â you agreed, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension. âLetâs do it.â
After dinner, you felt a mix of anticipation and nerves as you and Jungwon made your way to the courtyard to meet your brother. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft glow over the stone path as you approached the familiar spot where your brother usually liked to unwind.
He was leaning against a pillar, casually flipping through a book. When he noticed you both approaching, he closed it and set it aside, an eyebrow raised in curiosity. âSo, whatâs the big news?â
You exchanged a glance with Jungwon, and he gave you a reassuring nod. âWe wanted to talk to you about something important,â you began, your heart racing. âJungwon and I are⊠well, weâre together now.â
Your brotherâs expression shifted from curiosity to surprise, but instead of the angry outburst you feared, he broke into a smile. âReally? You two?â
You nodded, relief flooding through you. âYeah, we just wanted you to know.â
To your astonishment, your brotherâs smile grew wider. âHonestly, I couldnât have picked a better guy for you. I trust Jungwon. Heâs the only guy I know whoâs worthy of you because I know heâll treat you right.â
The weight lifted off your shoulders as joy washed over you. You turned to Jungwon, and without thinking, you both leaned in, sharing a sweet kiss under the moonlight. The moment was perfectâuntil your brother suddenly coughed, breaking the spell.
âHey! No kisses in front of me!â he declared, mock annoyance in his tone, but there was a teasing glint in his eye.
You and Jungwon pulled back, laughter bubbling up between you. âOkay, okay,â you giggled, feeling warmth spread through you at your brotherâs acceptance. âNo kisses in front of you.â
With a playful grin, Jungwon stepped forward and pulled you into a warm hug. You melted into his embrace, feeling a sense of comfort and happiness enveloping you. âThanks for being so cool about this,â Jungwon said softly, his breath tickling your ear.
Your brother crossed his arms, shaking his head in feigned disapproval. âJust keep the mushy stuff to a minimum around me, alright?â
You laughed again, feeling giddy. âWe will, I promise.â
As you pulled back from the hug, you saw the genuine happiness in your brotherâs eyes. âJust remember,â he added, a more serious tone creeping into his voice, "treat her right, alright?â
Jungwon nodded earnestly, a serious expression crossing his face. âI promise I will.â
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
Bonus!:
The day of one your brother's Quidditch match had arrived, and the atmosphere around the pitch was electric with excitement. You had made your way to the team tent, filled with an eagerness to support your brother. As you entered, the familiar scent of fresh grass and a hint of waxed wood filled the air, along with the chatter of the team gearing up for the game.
You found your brother pacing nervously inside the tent, his Quidditch gear scattered around him. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and anticipation, and you couldnât help but smile at the sight of him. He looked up, surprise washing over his face when he saw you.
âWhat are you doing here?â he asked, his brow furrowing.
With a playful grin, you pulled out a bright yellow chicken costume from behind your back, waving it triumphantly. âI came to collect one of the favors you owe me!â
His eyes widened in disbelief, and he groaned dramatically. âYouâve got to be kidding me! Youâre making me wear that? Right before the match?â
âAbsolutely!â you teased, stifling a laugh. âA chicken mascot would really boost team morale. Just think of it as a strategic advantage.â
He shot you a look that could only be described as a mix of annoyance and resignation. âYouâre going to be the death of me,â he muttered, snatching the costume from your hands. âFine! But if I get ridiculed out there, Iâm blaming you.â
âHey, at least youâll be memorable!â you shot back, unable to hold in your laughter as he started to put on the ridiculous outfit. The fluffy yellow feathers looked utterly absurd against his determined expression.
As he struggled to pull the costume over his Quidditch gear, you couldnât resist teasing him further. âCome on, embrace your inner chicken! Youâre gonna be the star of the show!â
âIâm going to be the laughingstock of the school!â he retorted, but you could see a hint of a smile tugging at his lips despite the exasperation.
Once he finally managed to get the costume on, you took a step back to admire the spectacle. He looked utterly ridiculous, and you burst into laughter, doubling over at the sight. âYou make a great chicken! Youâre gonna fly out there and peck the competition!â
âVery funny,â he grumbled, but there was a hint of amusement in his tone as he glanced in the mirror. âAlright, letâs just get this over with.â
âJust remember,â you said, suppressing another laugh, âyouâve got a chicken in your corner cheering you on. Youâll win for sure!â
With that, he rolled his eyes but couldnât hide the smile on his face. âI better not regret this,â he muttered as he headed out of the tent, his confidence bolstered by your playful energy.
/á Ë”> Ë <Ë”ă
You and Jungwon stood in front of your brother, a mischievous glint in your eyes. âSo, we have a bit of a favor to ask,â you said, trying to sound as innocent as possible despite the excitement bubbling up inside you.
Your brother looked at you skeptically. âWhat is it this time? Because I swear if it involves another chicken costumeâŠâ
âItâs nothing like that!â Jungwon interjected, stifling a laugh. âWe want you to turn us into cats.â
Your brother blinked in disbelief, processing your request. âSeriously? You two want to be turned into cats? Why would you even want that?â
âBecause it would be fun!â you replied, barely able to contain your excitement. âI promise, itâll be worth it!â
He hesitated, clearly torn between disbelief and amusement. âAnd why would I even consider this?â
You exchanged a quick glance with Jungwon before speaking up again. âRemember that second favor you owe me. This counts, right?â
He groaned, running a hand through his hair. âFine! But if this backfires, Iâm holding you both responsible.â
âThank you!â you both chimed, practically bouncing on your toes with excitement.
With a sigh, your brother pulled out his wand, muttering the incantation under his breath. A warm light enveloped you and Jungwon, and suddenly you felt yourself shrinking, your limbs transforming as your human forms faded away. When the light dimmed, you looked around with wide eyes, realizing you were both small, furry creatures now.
Jungwon turned to you, his eyes sparkling with delight, and let out a soft, inquisitive meow. You mirrored his expression, feeling the softness of your new form and the thrill of being a cat. You nuzzled against him, your whiskers brushing against his fur, and instinctively, you both began to purr.
Your brother, now looking utterly baffled, shook his head in disbelief. âYou two really went through with itâŠâ he muttered, a mix of amusement and exasperation in his voice. âJust be careful, okay?â
But before he could say anything else, you and Jungwon turned your attention back to each other. Without a second thought, you dashed over to Jungwon, who had already curled up on a nearby cushion. He looked up at you with bright eyes, and you couldnât resist the urge to snuggle up against him. You nestled into his warm side, feeling the comforting rhythm of his purring resonate against you. He responded by wrapping his paws around you, drawing you closer.
As the two of you settled into a cozy heap, Jungwon began to groom you, his rough tongue lapping at your fur in gentle strokes. You closed your eyes, surrendering to the soothing rhythm of his actions. You felt safe and content, purring softly as he continued to lick your fur, making you feel warm and loved.
Drifting off to sleep, you felt Jungwon shift slightly, wrapping his body around yours as if to protect you. He looked down at you, his eyes full of affection, and for a moment, nothing else mattered. You were just two cats, snuggled together, enjoying the peacefulness of the moment as you drifted off to sleep in the comfort of each other's warmth.

i love love love your writing and i have been waiting for your requests to be open!! can you please write a billy hargrove x reader story where he rejects her and then he regrets it and has to grovel?
Like she is super nice and friendly with everybody, and she can even get Billy to soften up to her. She's had a crush on Billy for the longest time like since he's arrives in Hawkins but he always is hooking up with somebody or flirting with somebody else. Then she notices that he's been alone for a couple of weeks and thinks this is her chance so she confesses to him and he lets her down gently because he doesn't feel the same (he so does but in his experience romance never lasts and he could never ever bear to lose her) and so she decides that having him as a friend is better than nothing.
But obviously she can't act the way she acted before and she starts distancing herself from him. No more grabbing his arm for security when the hallways are crowded. No more asking him for rides to and from school. No more chattering in his ear during lunch. Instead, she's doing those things with her best friend Steve or Eddie because they knew about her heartbreak and they're trying their best to be supportive.
And obviously he can tell right away that things are different and he's fighting the urge to shove Steve/Eddie away and take back his place next to you. He's trying to reach out and spend time with you and he doesn't care if he sounds desperate when he's doing so but she keeps blowing him off because she wants to get over him and she thinks he's just pitying her.
He finally snaps one night and sneaks into her room and tells her how he's been going crazy. She apologizes for being distant and says that she's moving on so that they can be friends. And Billy just says screw that and he doesn't care what he said before he just wants HER.
Sorry if this is a lot but I can't wait to read what you do with this!!!
I hope this is what you wanted and you enjoy it. Thank you for requesting đ«¶đ»
Relationship guy
Y/N and Billy had a touchy friendship. From afar they looked to be a couple, with the way they held hands, hugged, kissed each other's cheeks, and the way Billy would do anything for her. She was the only person in the world Billy had a soft spot for, that had to mean something.
There wasn't much time when they were apart. Billy was at her house first thing in the morning, the door open as he waited. The way he leaned against his car made her heart race every time. Then they arrive at school, and as usual, everyone is watching. They moved around the school and when people got too rowdy, Y/N would latch herself to Billy's arm.
"I got you," he smiled as he threw his arm over her shoulder. It wasn't the first time and probably wouldn't be the last.
Lunch was Y/N's favorite part of the school day. Not only because of no class but because she got to talk to Billy non-stop for those few moments.
"Do you think you'll win today's game?" Y/N asked, crunching down on Billy's ignored apple.
Billy scoffed, stuffing his face. "Duh, I'm on the team."
Y/N laughed and nodded, "Fair point, and Steve too!"
"Oh yeah because he does a lot," Billy rolled his eyes.
"Be nice, he is my other best friend," Y/N playfully lectured.
"Yeah, but we know I'm better,"
"In basketball or being a friend?" Y/N asked to clarify
"Both, babygirl," he winked.
The bell rang and they packed up their trash. Before they went separate ways for class, Y/N kissed Billy's cheek goodbye.
~~~
Y/N fell for him, of course. She had eyes for Billy ever since he moved to Hawkins, but he didn't have the eyes for her. His eyes looked at every girl that passed by him. Y/N never made a move because he was always sleeping around with a new girl, but lately, he seemed to be alone more than usual.
With his eyes not looking elsewhere, Y/N found a boost of confidence to ask Billy out.
They were lying in his bed listening to music when she turned to look at him. She took in his handsome features, studying how gorgeous he was up close. She watched as his lips formed a smile and he turned to look at her.
"Why are you staring at me?" he laughed, placing an arm under his head and propping himself up. He reached out and placed his arm over her waist. She smiled at the feeling, her heart racing.
"Have you ever seen me more than just a friend?" she asked, her stomach twisted as his smile slowly disappeared from his face.
"What do you mean?" he asked, licking his lips nervously.
She took a deep breath, cuddling closer into his warm body. He hoped she couldn't hear how fast his heart was pounding.
"I like you, Billy. I have for a long time but never said anything. Lately, you've been alone and it got me thinking maybe this is my chance to tell you."
Billy was in awe of her soft voice and the beauty of her heart. The truth was, he did like her. He was alone because no girl could get his mind off of her. She was the only person in his life that made him happy and he wasn't sure if he'd live if he lost her. He never tried to have a relationship so he had zero hope he would treat her the way she deserved.
"I think you are incredibly beautiful, inside and out. You've given my life a whole new purpose and I'm grateful to have you. I'm not a relationship guy and that won't change. I love you and hold a place for you in my heart, but in a friendly way." Billy said gently. He softly rubbed her hip as she sighed.
"If you were a relationship guy, would you go for me?" she asked, moving to look up at him. There was so much emotion in his blue eyes and she wished she could detect it.
"My first and only choice, baby," he said softly, leaning in to kiss her forehead. "Are you going to be okay? I really don't want to lose you as my friend," Billy admitted. He feared she'd pull away and he wouldn't blame her.
"Yeah, I'll be okay," she smiled. The rejection slightly hurt but she had a gut feeling Billy wasn't the boyfriend type anyway.
Billy hummed as a response. He moved to wrap both his arms around her, setting his head on hers as she cuddled into his chest.
~~~
Turns out she wasn't as okay as she thought she'd be. Spending all her time with Billy was fun and exciting. But now all she could think about was how badly she wanted more and how it would never happen. The kisses to her cheek that made her heart race were starting to make her stomach sour. And riding with him to and from school felt suffocating as his cologne filled the space.
She realized she would never be able to move on from him if she didn't change things. So, she figured creating a little distance would help her clear her head and heal her heart. Once she felt over him, they could resume their friendship and it wouldn't hurt her anymore.
Y/N got in Billy's car, her mind reeling. She was in deep thought and had been struggling with what to do.
"Steve is going to bring me home today," she said quietly. Billy turned down the music and turned to look at her. But she kept her eyes on the road as he drove.
"Oh, why?" He asked, moving his eyes back to the road. He ignored the ping of jealousy that ran through him.
"I think I need some space from you. Not in a bad way, it's just to help me. We'll still hang out and be best friends. I promise," she smiled. She reached over to place a comforting hand on his thigh.
Billy wanted to do what was best for her, but selfishly he didn't want space. He nodded and focused on the road, he hoped she couldn't see the water filling his eyes as he pulled into the parking lot.
~
The end of the day arrived and Billy could feel her lack of presence. He walked in the hallways alone, watching as she clung to Steve instead. She didn't sit with him at lunch, but that didn't stop him from staring at her the whole time. He dreaded driving home alone all day and he hated that it arrived. He also hated that her needing space meant everything changed.
He gave her a small wave as she drove by in Steve's car. His heart sped up as she excitedly waved back with a big smile. At least she still cared about him.
~~~
Billy tried to be patient with giving her space but after a week, he was ready to throw in the towel. He had to physically hold himself back from slamming Steve against the lockers whenever Y/N touched him. That was Billy's place. He fought the urge to sit at her new table, and beg her to gossip about her friends, anything to listen to her talk.
He missed driving with her, her smell in his passenger seat was slowly fading.
He sat on his bed as he held the phone to his ear, he hoped with everything in him that she would pick up.
"Hello?"
Billy smiled at the sound of her voice, "There she is, I've missed you," he admitted.
"I've missed you too, Billy," she said, a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Want to come over? We can order your favorite and watch those horrible movies you like," Billy offered.
"That sounds amazing, but I can't tonight. I'm sorry."
"That's alright, maybe next time," Billy said disappointed. The call ended shortly after and Billy slammed the phone down. He pulled at his hair as he took deep breaths to calm himself down. He was mad, frustrated, and hurt.
"You okay?"
Billy looked up as hot tears streamed down his face. Max stood at his door with a worried expression, a look he'd never seen her have before.
"I'm fine," he snapped. He walked up and slammed his door. Max didn't take it personally, it was the first time she ever saw Billy cry.
"I know we aren't friends, but it's okay to be upset. It's okay to feel things other than anger." Max said before she walked away.
~
The more time they spent apart, the more desperate Billy got. The more he called, the more he begged. He didn't care if he sounded crazy or pathetic, all he wanted to do was see her.
She noticed all the attention, and it was hard to look the other way. But she knew she'd never get over the love she had for him if she went back. She couldn't talk to him without getting lost in his eyes, or be in the same car inhaling his cologne. She couldn't touch his skin and not think about how much she wanted to taste it.
She figured he was pitying her, trying to lessen the blow of rejection. She knew Billy cared about her and it was something he'd do, but it didn't help her. It only made it harder.
She went to turn off her lamp when she heard knocking on her window. Only one person went through her window so she prepared herself to see him again.
She quickly fluffed her hair and smoothed out her sleep clothes. She walked over and opened the curtain. She didn't say anything as she unlocked the window and let him through.
"I can't do it anymore. I tried and I want to do what is best for you but I can't do it anymore!" Billy ranted as he paced around her room. "I can't take the distance. It's selfish, I know but I am falling apart here."
"Billy," she sighed, "It's hard now but trust me, it'll help us in the end."
"No, it won't!"
"If we don't do this now, I will never get over you. It'll damage our friendship in the long run. I'll never be able to accept when you get a girlfriend or decide one day to get married. I'll be tortured and unhappy. I'm doing this for the future us," she explained. "This is the only way I'll be happy for you."
"I don't care about future us. I care about us right now. I care about you being in my life right now." Billy begged. She watched Billy walk around the room, tears building in his eyes.
"I can't have you in my life right now!" Y/N argued, "You don't understand how painful it is to be in love with someone who can't love you back."
"What if I can?" he whispered, she felt her anger come to a halt.
Y/N scoffed, "You said it yourself, you're not a relationship guy."
"I don't give a fuck what I said. It was all bullshit, okay? I'm scared and have no idea what I'm doing and I don't know if I'll be who you want me to be, but I don't care. I want you," he confessed. He walked over and placed his hand on her cheek. She felt her breathing pick up as he looked down at her, so much emotion in his eyes.
He leaned in and she followed, turning her chin up as she closed the gap between them. She sighed in bliss as his warm lips worked against hers. He wrapped his arms around her, desperately pushing her body against his. Kissing her was better than Billy imagined, she was sweet and soft. He wanted to beat himself up for waiting so long.
Needing air, he pulled away. He placed his forehead on hers, opening his eyes as he panted against her mouth. "I'm ready to be a relationship guy. I love you."
"I love you too, Billy," she smiled, placing her lips on his.
~
Billy couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he pulled up to her house. He got out of the car and opened her door. He crossed his arms as he waited for her to walk out.
"There's my girl," he whistled as she walked down the driveway. She rolled her eyes but blushed at the nickname. She greeted him with a kiss, loving the way he wrapped his arms around her to deepen it.
"Good morning to me," Billy said against her lips. She pulled away to smile. She got in the car and Billy followed.
His hand was on her knee the whole drive. Y/N felt butterflies in her stomach ever since they kissed. She couldn't believe she and Billy were in a relationship.
They held hands as they walked into the school. He was happier than ever to have her by his side again, and this time as his girlfriend.

The heat was getting to be a problem.
The power had been out in National City for three days, and those three days were expected to be among the hottest of the year. Lena was, frankly, desperate.
You might think that sheâd have it easy, but anyone who would think that a penthouse in a skyscraper would be easy to cool would quickly be disabused of that notion. The windows mostly didnât open and having the balcony doors spread wide did next to nothing when the breeze felt like opening an oven, even up here.
It had been Alexâs suggestion, sent by text.
Why donât you go to Karaâs? The loft is pretty breezy.
She was right, of course. When Lena arrived, Kara had every one of her huge loft windows open, allowing the breeze to flow freely through the open, airy space.
There was another problem, though.
When Kara opened the door, Lena nearly keeled over. Kara was wearing a sports bra and shorts so short they barely deserved the name, exposing a vast amount of golden, sun-kissed skin. Worse, her gloriously muscled stomach and shoulders glistened with sweat.
Lena was surprised to see that the heat bothered her, but it clearly did. Kara had forgone her glasses, too, and after she opened the door, she swept the back of her hand across her forehead and sighed.
âHi,â Lena squeaked.
âHi yourself. Hot out there?â
âItâs hot in here.â
âCome in, come in,â said Kara.
Lena stepped inside, forcing herself not to stare at Karaâs thick thighs and the swell of her chest under straining fabric. Was that zipper some advanced Kryptonian technology?
âWant something to drink?â
âIsnât your fridge dead, too?â
âYeah, but I cheat. Watch.â
Kara slipped a bottle of water out of a pack on her counter and breathed on it. Ice crystals formed on the surface and the water visibly chilled. It shocked Lena when she accepted it and the cold water on her lips was bliss. Lena let out a soft sigh and closed her eyes, savoring the feeling of cold spreading through her chest, cooling her body.
When she opened her eyes, Kara was the one staring. Lena had thrown on a short, a-frame sun dress that bared her back, for no other reason than making sure that her skin could have as much surface exposed to the air to evaporate and cool her down as possible.
âSo what are you up to?â Lena asked.
Kara gestured to the notebook and stacks of papers on the table.
âOld-fashioned journalism, I guess. My laptop battery died yesterday.â
âI thought youâd be out there trying to fix the power.â
Kara shrugged. âWith what, my super-electrician powers?â
Lena shot her a look, raising her brow.
Kara turned away, heading for the windows.
Oh, Jesus, Lena thought.
It wasnât as if Lena hadnât⊠noticed Karaâs physique. She wasnât blind, after all. Theyâd taken spin class together, and Kara liked to wear leggings on the weekends.
But holy shit, those shorts made her ass look⊠Super.
Lena was still fumbling over a buns of steel pun in her head when Kara turned back.
âHey, you okay? Your heart raced for a second there.â
âF-fine,â said Lena.
âAlex and the others are coming over tonight for an emergency game night,â said Kara. âI better get ready.â
For the next couple of hours, Lena helped Kara neaten up her apartment and prepare non-perishable snacks and a cooler full of beer and wine coolers, chilled care of Kara. Alex and Kelly were the first to show up, with Alex giving Lena a cheeky look as she walked into the apartment.
âHey, you two,â she said. âBeen having a hot time?â
There was something brittle in Karaâs laugh that set Lena a little on edge, and the Danvers sisters shared one of those looks they shared that made Lena wonder if they could communicate telepathically. Whatever the message was, it made Kara look away first, distracting with an offered beer that Alex gladly accepted.
Lena took a wine cooler, wishing it were wine.
Nia and Brainy showed up next, followed by Jâonn, who was the only one fully dressed in a button-down shirt and khakis, while everyone else was dressed for the beach or a track meet.
Lena sat on the floor, because the hardwood was cool under her butt, and leaned back against Karaâs couch. Kara sat beside her and Lenaâs heart definitely sped up.
Looking over, it was hard to tear her eyes away. Kara made a magnificent display- the blocky weight of her shoulders, full biceps and strong arms and bulky, sculpted forearms. Lenaâs eyes followed the vein on the back of Karaâs arm down the back of her strong hand and the elegant lengths of her fingers.
Kara kept her nails neatly trimmed like that because of Supergirl duties, right?
Right?
âHey Luthor? You having a heat stroke?â said Alex. âYou look spaced out over there.â
Alex had a playful grin plastered on her face, though she too was sweating profusely. A cooler breeze rolled in through the big windows and everyone sighed in delight.
Except Jâonn. âWhat shall we play first?â she said.
âClue!â Nia chirped.
âBrainy always kicks our ass at Clue,â said Alex, âand I am not playing Monopoly with a literal billionaire again.â
âPerhaps we should play Risk,â said Jâonn, rifling through the game shelf.
âWe could try Twisted,â Kara suggested in a deadpan voice.
Lena swallowed hard, thinking of herself tangled up on the mat with Kara, clothes glued to their skin by sweat, salty skin sliding against salty skin, the scent of herâŠ
âEarth to Lena,â said Alex. âGot any ideas?â
âExploding Kittens,â said Lena. âWe havenât done that one in a while.â
âKara, chill us some cold ones, will you?â said Nia.
Once everyone had a rapidly warming drink, Brainy dealt the cards and the game began. Alex called Kara out for peeking several times, with that loaded Danvers Sisters Look and an almost predatory smirk.
She wasnât the only one peeking.
Lena participate in the game but her mind was elsewhere, specifically the valley of Karaâs broad back, where sweat gathered between her muscles and rain down in heavy beads, or the sweat gathering along her collarbone or sparking along the lush inner curves of her tightly contained breasts.
âHey,â said Kara. âItâs your turn, Lena.â
Then she reached over and brushed damp lock of inky hair out of Lenaâs eyes.
She could have melted. She swallowed hard, brushed the sweat from her brow, and made a hasty and wasteful play that would probably cost her any chance of winning, but she didnât care. The game seemed at most a distant concern.
Karaâs tongue glazing along her soft pink lips was much more interesting. Theyâd pretty much all given up on makeup but Kara was still positively radiant, soft and inviting and homey in a way that made Lena ache in her chest.
And, uh, other places.
It was full dark now, so they finished the game and Kara and Alex got up to light a few candles.
âThis is like camping,â said Nia.
âWe should have thought to procure âmarshmallowsâ, said Brainy. âKara could toast them with her heat vision.â
âWe hardly need more heat. Iâm boiling,â said Lena.
Jâonn let out a soft grunt. âItâs my turn to go on patrol. I think Iâll be the first to head out.
Everyone gave their goodbyes as he headed out the window. The others huddled closer around the table, lit by the candle sitting in the middle.
âWe should tell scary stories,â said Alex. âLike around a campfire.â
âSince it was your idea, you go first,â said Kelly.
Alex leaned into it with abandon, leaning in over the table as she started spinning a campfire yarn that Lena quickly recognized as The Hook.
Kara edged closer, until her bare thigh pressed against Lena. She leaned in close, and it wouldnât have taken much for Lena to⊠rest her head on Karaâs shoulder. It just kind of happened, Karaâs scent filling her nostrils as she turned into Kara.
Lena flinched as Kara shot her a concerned look.
She can hear my heartbeat.
Kara must have thought Lena was scared, because she casually slipped an arm around her.
Lenaâs breath caught. Karaâs powerful arm rested lazily around her hip and her relaxed hand rested on Lenaâs thigh, fingers placed lightly on bare skin.
It was a powerfully possessive gesture, not just protective but⊠more. Lena shifted a little and let herself completely fall against Kara.
Alex kept on telling the story, her gaze pausing heavily on the two of them as she scanned the room. Brainy looked bored but Nia looked genuinely petrified and Kelly was looking at her wife with the kind of adoring reference that was currently plastered on Lenaâs face as she looked up at Kara.
Alex reached the crescendo of the story and Lena let out a little gasp, turning her face into Karaâs neck, more for the sake of it than out of fear. Karaâs hand stroked lazily up and down her back.
âDonât worry, I wonât let anyone get you,â Kara whispered.
âYou two okay over there?â said Alex.
âFine,â said Kara.
âThere are two actual couples here and you two are the ones doing the heavy petting.â
They werenât heavy petting. Okay sure, Lena had her fingers curled around Karaâs hip and Karaâs hand was staring to pass the platonic zone when stroking her back butâŠ
Oh.
âItâs getting late,â said Kelly. âMaybe we should head home.â
âAgreed,â said Nia. âCome on, Brainy.â
Lena and Kara didnât get up.
The others did, piling out of the apartment. Alex went last, shooting Kara another of those damned looks, smiling like a self-satisfied cat after a big stretch.
The door closed and Kara yawned.
âMind if I stay?â Lena said, quickly. âMy place is just too hot to sleep.â
âOf course,â Kara said softly.
Lena didnât move. They were alone now, the apartment dark except for candles that threw flickering shadows and made Kara even more ethereal. Lena could barely believe someone so gorgeous could be real.
âLena,â Kara said quietly. âHave you ever thought aboutâŠâ she trailed off.
âAbout what?â
âUs. What we are to each other.â
âYes,â said Lena.
âMe too.â
âWhat are you thinking?â Lena asked.
âYouâre my best friend. You mean more to me than basically anyone else, and the thought of you has kept me going through some really dark times.â
When Kara smiled for her, her eyes lit up, sparkling in the candlelight, like moonlight dancing on nighttime waves. She was entrancing.
âIâŠâ Lena began. âI donât think Iâve ever seen you as just a friend. Thereâs more on the table if you want it.â
âMore like⊠kissing?â
âYes, exactly.â
This was actually happening. It was real, not a daydream or a fantasy. Kara moved with agonizing slowness, full of a gentle, kind intensity as she leaned down and lightly brushed her lips across Lenaâs.
It was like being tossed in a tub of ice water⊠in a good way. Lena shivered as Kara cupped her jaw and went for another kiss, more forcefully this time, more insistent. The breathed as one.
âKara,â Lena whispered.
She couldnât help it. Lena dragged her tongue over Karaâs skin, tasting the sweat pooled at the base of her neck. Kara let out a low moan followed by a deep basso rumble in her chest, pulsating in time with her breathing.
âDid you just lick my sweat?â
âAre you purring?!â
Kara giggled. âI can do lots of things.â
Lena looked up at her with lidded eyes. âOh yeah? Show me what you got.â
She squeaked as Kara picked her up in a single smooth motion, and with a self-satisfied smirk, carried her towards the bed.
Later, as they lay in a tangle of perspiring limbs atop sweat-soaked sheets, the power thumped back on and the air conditioning began to blow over them, chilling Lenaâs skin.
She barely noticed.

omg iâm thrilled that yâall like him so much!!! and these ideas were soso tasty ugh your minds~ i had a lot of fun with this, maybe too much if you look at the wc lol, so i hope yâall enjoy <3 ALSO continuity note: since Adrian is so popular, i won't carry major events through different stories unless requested, that way everyone can have their own version of his story! but i'll be keeping general facts about Adrian the same unless otherwise specified, like his parents being rich because i find it funny~ thank you and goodnight <3 (and yes i switched this gif with the last part shhhh itâs okay)
pairing: Masochist Puppyboy!Yandere(m) x Bully!Reader(gn)
words: ~ 4.6k
you can read the previous part here!
CW: 18+, NSFW, yandere behavior, stalking, bullying, physical/verbal abuse, BDSM themes, poor BDSM etiquette but neither party minds
Adrian nearly choked when he heard his name read next to yours for the school project.
It took you a second to recognize his; you mostly just call him mutt. Once you realized, you loudly groaned at the prospect of spending the week with that pest.
Adrian couldnât hear it over his racing heart.
As soon as class lets out, he's right at your side, yammering on about project materials and meeting arrangements and times and "we should really meet at one of our houses so we don't have to worry about distractions, I'm fine with coming to yours! It's closer to school anyway, right? It'll be more private- I just think it makes sense-"
You finally shut him up by making the executive decision that youâll work at his house (you donât need him shedding on your furniture, or potentially getting any personal ammunition against you; he is way too interested in being inside your home, and how does he know itâs closer to school?).
Adrian was crestfallen that he wouldnât get to go in your house (and smell the pure you imbued in your furniture, and pretend heâs really your dog while you sit together- maybe in your bedroom!-, and snoop through your underwear drawer when you go to the bathroom, and snoop through your bathroom when he goes in right after you...), but he was still over the moon at the idea of having you in his space.
(Heâll just visit your window later tonight like usual, anyway- he'll still get high off that closeness alone. Win/win!)
Adrian doesn't think about anything else for the rest of the day, zoning through his classes and plastered to your side whenever he gets the chance, just alight with energy and anticipation and not shutting up about it- he's lucky there's too many witnesses for you to knock him quiet (oh, but he would feel so much luckier if you did).
You would totally bail on this project if you werenât already failing this class, which is mostly on account of you bailing. Youâre wondering if all those cut classes were worth having to work with this, but youâre not feeling hopeful.
The day seems to drag on forever for both of you, for vastly different reasons. By the time school lets out, Adrian is buzzing out of his skin and you're seconds away from ripping it off him.
As you two start the trek to his place, Adrian can't get over how surreal it feels to walk beside you. It's like you two are a couple, and you're walking him home for an after school study date!
He gets lost in the daydream easily, giving you a brief reprieve from his energy, and allowing you to absently notice his rapidly wagging tail almost propelling him down the sidewalk. You can't help but smirk a little at the image that conjures in your mind.
He's truly ridiculous, you can't really believe him sometimes. Doesn't that thing ever get tired? What does he think is gonna happen that's got him so damn excited? That he's gonna get in good with you somehow (hopefully) and you'll leave him alone? (never in his wildest dreams.)
Yeah, fat chance.
When Adrian stops at his house, you think he's joking. But then he walks right up the driveway of this random McMansion, motioning you along eagerly, and enters a security code before holding the door open for you with a clearly anticipatory smile.
...The fuck.
You did not count on Adrianâs family being loaded. He certainly doesn't dress or groom like it.
You consider berating him for not mentioning it, but decide against it for the risk of seeming stupid- to Adrian of all people. You do make a mental note for your future errand requests, though.
Adrianâs parents arenât home, he tells you his mom is always traveling and his dad basically lives at his office. Youâre relieved that you wonât have to put on a nice face for the folks, but thereâs apparently still a live-in housekeeper that floats around (are you fucking kidding?) so you stay diligent.
Adrian suggests you two work in his room; you figure the further from watchful eyes, the better.
Despite it being his idea, Adrian can't help his giddy nervousness as you enter his room (heâd texted the housekeeper to make sure it was clean as soon as you decided to come over, lucky he keeps his souvenirs hidden away whenever heâs not admiring them).
The room is frankly ridiculous, easily twice the size of yours, a king bed in the corner, a desk and coffee table and two dressers, and yet adorned with piles of clothes and clutter and more genres of nerdy shit than you even knew existed.
"Yeah, okay, parts of this make sense."
Adrian cocks his head, opening his mouth to ask what you mean, when he suddenly chokes on air.
You've made a bee-line right to his desk, covered in books and papers for hobbies and school alike, but also holding a locked drawer at the very bottom in which he keeps his "school collection" (just discarded pencils with bitten erasers, torn up notebook paper he can still smell your hands on, old gym shorts you were probably gonna replace soon anyway, a bandaid here, a plastic fork there; nothing crazy).
He watches with bated breath as you sift through the contents of his desk, occasionally scoffing or chuckling at what you find. He lets out a sigh when you seem to grow bored, just for you to move on to his dresser and have his stomach doing somersaults all over again.
Maybe he should've asked the housekeeper to hide his stuff better and just braved the questions later...
You move throughout the room like you own it (you do, as far as the both of you are concerned), making little jabs at his various posters and figurines which make his whole body flush hot with pleasure because you're noticing things about him, but every other move you make sends his heart jumping into his throat in a completely different way.
It only takes a minute or two for the stress to get to him.
âAh- hey! Uh, maybe we should- maybe we should start on the project, right?â
You bark a laugh and spin on your heel to face him, an incredulous half-grin pulling your lips and revealing a gut-twisting flash of teeth.
"We?"
Oh, yeah, he much prefers those intense eyes boring into him.
He starts spluttering placations immediately. "No! Well, uhm, I didn't mean- you, you don't- have to- obviously, I mean, I don't- I wouldn't-"
You roll your eyes and shove past him, effectively cutting him off as you flop down onto his abominably soft mattress. "Right, yeah, whatever. Let's get one thing straight here, okay?"
Adrian nods, his whole being drawn to focus at your entrancingly commanding tone. Although, it's incredibly hard to focus on anything with the sight of you on his bed right in front of him; he's already planning how to avoid that area so it'll retain your scent longer, he wonders if he could cut that part of the duvet out and keep it in an airtight container, maybe the sheets under it too just to be safe...
"This is not a "we" situation, got it? I'm not lifting a damn finger for this bullshit, that's what you're there for." Adrian has a purpose to you! "I am only here to make sure you're actually doing it, which shouldn't be a problem because if we get anything less than an A, it's gonna be your ass."
As tempting as it is to see what punishment you would inflict upon him, Adrian really really really wants to please you- and he's pretty good at this subject anyway!
You then cross your arms and lean back just enough to look down your nose at him. "Got it?"
Adrian can't answer fast enough.
"Yes! Yes, that's perfect! Awesome, good- great!"
But then he doesnât make a move. Ha.
He looks a little lost, standing in the middle of his own room, barely biting down a grin and wringing his hands as he seems to wait for another command.
Apparently, youâve trained him well.
You scoff and let yourself fall onto your back as you pull out your phone (Adrian's gonna need a bigger airtight container).
"Well, go on then, we don't have all day."
Adrian scrambles to get to work. He quickly positions himself on the floor by the foot of the bed and pulls the coffee table closer, emptying his school bag carelessly onto the carpet.
You huff a laugh at the sight, all this money and the kid's parents couldn't buy him any class. Maybe sloppiness is an inherent trait, like his apparent passion for service- nobody with this much money should be such a pushover. And yet...
Adrian couldnât be happier, sitting on the floor while you lounge across his bed and periodically weigh in with (mostly incorrect) corrections or snide remarks, an almost alarmingly wide grin settled on his face as his tail taps a steady rhythm against his carpet.
Itâs not an unpleasant picture, you muse absently as you look up from your phone, itâs almost comforting to have your little puppy on the floor, cheerily working away for you while you laze about. It certainly beats doing the work yourself, or having to threaten a student with an actual spine to do it for you.
Still, it doesn't take long for you to get bored. Bored enough to notice your empty stomach, at least.
"I'm hungry."
Adrian's head shoots up from the book he was hunched over, ears raised at attention and eyes glittering with something you're not sure you care to identify.
He's on his feet in the next second, knocking his knees on the way up loud enough to startle you yet showing no signs of even noticing.
"I-I'll ask Len to make something!"
He darts out of the room before you can tell him what you want, but you trust he knows your moods and tastes well enough by this point to predict. (Oh, he does, and Len's not going to be making anything- they don't know all the special ingredients!)
The second he leaves, you decide to really cure your boredom by snooping around in earnest. Certainly this creep has something actually weird hidden in here, you just have to look in the right places.
You waste no time in sifting through his bookshelf (nerd shit), closet (nerd clothes, some dirty), a dresser (nerd clothes, mostly clean), under his bed (dirty clothes, nerd shit in boxes)- the door opens behind you.
âWha-? Oh! Ah- Wh-what- what are you doing?â
You donât even bother moving from your crouch, most of your upper body shoved under the bedstand while the rest of you... is not.
Adrianâs mouth is completely dry for several reasons.
âWhatâre you, blind? Iâm snooping.â
Adrian slowly comes further into the room, hesitantly setting the serving tray on the low table. He canât stop his voice from cracking as he stutters out,
âUh- yeah, okay, yeah, but- um, would you maybe mind- um, not?â
You snicker, at least he has some manners. âYeah, I do mind, actually. Whatâs the matter, mutt? Got something to hide?â
âN-no!â
The answer is so immediate, so fervent, that it has you pulling up just to give him an unimpressed look. He stares back at you, eyes wide and frenzied.
âJesus youâre a bad liar.â
Looking at him now, you can see sweat glistening on his face and his hands clenching by his side. His eyes dart toward the dresser you haven't checked yet.
Bingo.
You jump up from your position and stride across the room with purpose. You only make it a few steps before Adrian seems to materialize in front of you, making you stop short and almost yelp from shock.
âS-sorry! Iâm sorry, I just-" he's waving his hands wildly, head ducked as his gaze rapidly flicks between your face and the floor, "You-you canât- please, please donât-â
âOkay, creep, I get the gist.â
You shove past him, and he wishes he could relish the firm pressure of your hands on him.
He whirls around and watches in horror as you approach the dresser. He needs to do something, he needs to stop you, but what can he do? Youâve clearly made up your mind, itâs not like it's his place to try and change it...
All he can do is watch, a high ringing in his ears and his body filling with static, while you meticulously sift through every drawer until his clothes are strewn about the floor and you're panting with frustration.
He's about to let himself take a breath when you suddenly squat down and stick your arm into the shallow space underneath. He nearly swallows his tongue when you let out a disbelieving huff and awkwardly slide out a long lockbox.
You look up at him triumphantly, eyes sparkling with glee, and he almost mirrors your smile just for how captivating it is.
"Open it."
"N-no-"
You lean up toward him and cock your head, he has to stop himself from being drawn in by the magnetism of your narrowed eyes. âThe fuck did you just say to me?"
"I'm sorry! I didn't- just, I can't-"
"Oh, I think you can. Or you're not gonna like what happens next."
That's where you're wrong, and it only really strengthens Adrian's extremely shaky resolve. He tries to keep the grin off his face as he habitually starts to picture the punishment you might give him; a cuff on the ears, a knee to the stomach, a punch in the face-
But you just roll your eyes and groan, no longer in the mood now that something more interesting has presented itself.
Instead, your gaze floats down to the flimsy looking combination lock on the box, then it fixes on some heavy-standed figurine you'd knocked off his bookshelf earlier.
Yeah, good enough.
Adrian barely has time to flinch before you're snatching it up and breaking the lock with a sound crack.
Then you're lifting the lid.
"No!"
He starts to lunge forward, but your sharply raised hand halts him dead in his tracks.
Fuck.
It's too late anyway, judging by your wide eyes and slightly slack jaw (god how he wishes he could focus on the glorious curve of your open lips, or the way your perfect teeth peek over them, or how it might feel to have those teeth sunk into his skin-)
"What. The. Fuck."
"I-I can explain- It's not-!"
"I literally do not believe that you can."
Adrian's throat goes dry, he feels tears welling in his eyes. "I'm sorry- I'm sorry! I never meant- it's not like-"
You tune Adrian out as you focus on the stacks and stacks of photos arranged in the box before you. There even seem to be books underneath those, thick ones despite the shallowness of the container. Youâd say thereâs easily hundreds of pictures in here.
But, more concerning than the amount of photos⊠is their content.
Theyâre all you.
Undeniable, from every angle and range and setting you could imagine, itâs all you. Thereâs you at your spot with your friends, sitting in class, in the cafeteria, running errands in town, sneaking off to that private spot nobody else is supposed to know about, asleep in your bed- in dozens and dozens of iterations, like you could probably make a flip book of every scene.
Itâs offensively redundant, honestly, a gross waste of paper. Maybe equally as concerning.
(Adrian needs to keep physical copies, and hard drives, and backup hard drives, and another box further under the dresser... What if something happens to his phone? What if he lost all his treasured photos forever? He doesnât know what heâd do.)
"You're a bigger creep than I gave you credit for." You murmur, mostly to yourself.
Adrian never thought he'd feel anything but sheer joy from hearing that word leave your mouth. "N-no! It's not- it's not like that! I'm not- I don't-"
While Adrian's still blustering and working himself into a tizzy, you're just... processing.
It's oddly unsurprising, once you consider all the other factors together. Looking at it now, of course Adrian had more perverted reasons for complying to your cruelty, what else could he have been getting out of it? You guess you kinda always knew, on some level, but you never thought it would be like this.
But, since it is, you can't help but wonder just how far this perversion has gone, how far it will go...
This night has been boring enough that you're entitled to a little fun, right?
And besides, looking at him now- all wide eyed and droopy eared, his tail pulled between his legs and clutched in his trembling hands- Adrian actually looks a little bit... cute? In a pathetic, dirty stray caught in the rain type of way, of course.
The only real difference is that you'd be much kinder to the stray.
"Alright, shut it, stalker."
Adrian's mouth snaps closed, his tail trying to tuck further at your dangerously low voice.
"Obviously, this severe-" you flap a stack of photos at him, causing him to duck his head and whimper, "-invasion of my privacy can't go unpunished."
Adrian's eyes become impossibly bigger as they flash up to watch you stand. His ears suddenly perk, his tail tugs against his grip as it tries to hesitantly wag.
Jesus, he's shameless.
This is gonna be fun.
But first, a plan. You don't want Adrian getting too bold, so what better way to keep him in his place than by tying him there? Looking around his room, you don't have much to work with, but you're resourceful; a lace from his sneakers should do just fine (who keeps shoes in their room? what a creep).
"Alright. Sit."
Adrian is falling to his knees before his brain can process the words. When it does, he isn't quick enough to bite down on the high keen that builds in his throat.
You scoff, mentally scorning yourself for ignoring his shit for so long, then go to pull a lace. Adrian watches in rapt attention as you test its strength, your hands flexing so tantalizingly as you pull the string harshly several times over.
He holds his breath on instinct when your scrutinizing glare scans the room again.
"Okay, bed. Back to the headboard. Now."
Adrian scrambles up immediately, pulling some of the sheets off in his hurry, eager to obey before you change your mind.
You follow right after, kneeling up and leaning over him to tie his hands to the headboard above him. His dry throat click as he gulps.
You're so close, your heavenly scent filling his lungs like a sweet paralyzing vapor, he can feel the heat radiating from your skin despite the clothes between you, he could probably taste you if he just stuck out his tongue...
He whines as you yank the shoelace tight with a grunt before tying it off. You tug on his hands once more, forcing the string deeper into his skin, and your hum of satisfaction is drowned out by Adrian's low groan.
What a wonderful feeling, the sharp sting of the lace grounding him down like he needs to be; he can't help twisting and pulling until the burn intensifies, imagining it's your firm hands holding him so tightly...
"Jesus, freak, you're already getting into it?"
Adrian just whimpers, barely registering the question past your condescending tone as he continues to squirm.
You suddenly grab the front of his shirt and pull him forward until he's partially hovering off the mattress, the combined pressure of your knuckles under his chin and the shoestring grating his tender wrists pulls a breathy moan along with.
You lean in close, practically growling as you say, "Don't do my job for me, mutt."
You press a relatively fresh bruise on his arm just to see him twitch and bite his lip (itâs actually from a week ago, thatâs how good he is at maintaining your marks for you!). It is pretty gratifying.
Almost as gratifying as the bulge you spot between his wantonly spread legs.
A breathless laugh punches out of you. It's oddly jarring to see, and you would later deny that it's slightly impressive, but it's not an entirely unpleasant sight.
"God, you're fucking pathetic. But you know that, don't you, you little creep?"
If your words weren't enough to have Adrian shaking out of his skin, you lean closer and nip his ear; he jerks back instinctively at the pain, which only makes its sting so much sweeter when you sink your teeth in and pull back.
He doesnât bother trying to keep himself quiet.
âThis isnât even a punishment for you, is it? Is it, you fucking perv?â
Adrian is so far beyond saving face, heâs mostly beyond communication of any kind, so he just shakes his head fervently and grunts and hopes itâs good enough.
âUse your words, mutt.â
He gasps as you yank his throbbing ear, pulling his face closer to yours- oh dear god he can feel your hot breath against his cheeks, every detail of your perfect face so confident and dangerous and ethereal, your sparkling eyes look positively deadly and Adrian is ready to submit himself to their perils-
âAnswer me," your sharp words make his lashes flutter, but he keeps his eyes wide open to stare at your taunting smile hanging just inches from his face, "are you getting off on this?â
He nods, heâs starting to get dizzy with all this nodding but he doesn't feel capable of much else, then you tug his hair back with the most glorious burn-
âAh-Yes! Yes, I love- I love it, please- give me- more- please, I need- I need-â
He cuts off with a choked sound as your fingers slide up his throat and tighten, all too happy to oblige.
"That what you want? You happy now?" You taunt, your breath against the shell of his ear raising goosebumps all over his body.
He tries to nod against your grip, causing you to smirk and push further.
Oh god yes please-
Garbled moans fight their way from his throat as his eyes roll back in ecstasy, his straddled legs pressing tightly together as he thrashes desperately against the headboard, his whole body trembling and pushing up and up in search of contact- but you keep pulling away, putting more pressure on his neck to support yourself, bringing out the most pitiful little whimpers.
"Use your words, puppy."
Puppy.
Adrian chokes for reasons entirely unrelated to your hand on his neck. His tail, which had been beating a rapid tempo since you sat him down, starts flailing into overdrive.
It takes considerably more effort, but Adrian needs to please you- maybe youâll even reward him!- so he coughs and gasps until he can force out,
"Y-Yes,â a strained cough, âTha-agh-thank- you-"
A smile curls your lips unbidden. Such initiative! You let your fingers stroke over his throat as your hand presses in harder.
"There, that's a good boy."
Adrian's vision whites out.
Heâs not even aware of the stream of whines and moans that force their way from beneath your fingers, he doesn't notice how his body squirms against the pressure of you on top of him, he couldn't tell the frantic thumping of his tail from that of his heart- all he can focus on is the red hot ecstasy filling every inch of him to bursting, the transcendent bliss of being so thoroughly claimed, so completely controlled, so wholly owned by you.
He's still hiccupping moans and thumping his tail when you withdraw your hand for fear of suffocating him, these needy little noises escaping his already bruising throat.
His head lolls back and his mouth falls open as you remain suspended above him, taking in your handiwork.
Heâs so vulnerable, his entire body open and happily exposed to you, every muscle trembling in the aftershocks. His chest heaves as sweat and tears drip down onto his shirt, but he seems to pay no mind as his vacant eyes flutter up at you. He struggles to keep them open as a dopey grin spreads across his bitten lips, and you have to bite your own to stop from returning it.
Then, your eyes travel down to the steadily shrinking tent of his pants, now adorned with a dark wet stain- just like you expected.
Hot.
"Pathetic."
You sit back on you heels, seemingly alerting Adrian to your absence as his hand flies up to grab his throat with a high whine- but you cut that shit off right away.
"Yeah, no, I'm not trying to catch a murder charge tonight, thanks. Besides," your eyes pointedly flick down between his spread legs, causing his face to heat up though he makes no move to close them, "it looks like you got more than your share- frankly, you should be grateful for anything I'm willing to give you."
Adrian's voice is hoarse when he tries to insist, "I am! I-" he cuts off with a heavy cough, which only has you wincing with guilt a little. "I'm- I'm grateful. I am!"
You don't doubt it, especially looking into those watery, red-rimmed puppydog eyes of his. However, you do like to be cruel, and you did just get a bunch of texts from some of your friends about this 'super crazy thing you don't wanna miss and you gotta get down here right now!', (and you're maybe feeling a little uncharacteristically giddy as you fully process your situation) so...
"Doesn't matter, I can't reward this insolence."
You untie the shoelace with a deft tug and slide off the bed without another word.
Adrian just barely stops himself from whining again, the sudden loss of the pressure around his wrists leaving him feeling untethered. He has to dig his nails into his hands as he watches you collect your things (the covered platter lay forgotten on the table, insult to injury), just to keep from reaching out for you.
He wants desperately to follow you, but he can't make his body move for how relaxed and heavy it feels, and he knows it would probably just upset you more anyway- and not in the good way.
âOh, and Adrian?â You slap the doorframe as you hang off of it, and your use of his name has Adrian's groggy head springing up to face you instantly, ears high and eyes hopeful.
âNext time you want a picture of me, just ask. That way I can knock some sense into you right away.â You tap the frame again, a crooked grin fixing your lips before you push off.
âSee ya tomorrow!â
Still too fuzzy to move, and in fresh shock from that almost-genuine smile, he can only listen forlornly as your steps grow fainter and fainter until the door shuts downstairs. Then, he's helpless to do anything beyond replay the events of the past ten minutes in obsessive detail in attempts to permanently document every single sensation you gave to him.
He only manages to move about a half hour later, when his phone buzzes with a text.
He slowly leans over the bed and lifts his phone from the floor, blinking blearily as he reads... your name. Attached to a ludicrously extravagant lunch order for tomorrow.
The phone drops from his fingers like lead.
How?
His heart starts racing as he wracks his brain to recall when you put his number in your phone- then, his tail starts up again as he wonders if he'll be punished for already having yours in his (not for anything weird! he just likes to type out walls of text complimenting every part of you and telling you exactly the ways he wants you to destroy him and then deleting them- but maybe he'll send the next one).
It must mean something good if you want to keep in close contact with him, right? That must mean you aren't really mad at him, right? That must mean you like him, right? You still think heâs a good boy, right?
Another text lights up his phone. He scrambles to grab it back, hands shaking as he holds the screen close to his face.
[ur gnna b my bitch 4evr now]
A shaky giggle escapes him.
Those are easily the most beautiful words heâs ever read.
thanks so much for reading! feel free to send a request <3

Rumors
mattheo riddle x reader
Matheo's heart hammered against his ribs as he approached his room, the weight of doubt heavy on his shoulders. The rumor had spread like wildfire, consuming every corner of the school. His hands clenched into fists as he replayed the whispers echoing in the hallways, each word driving a wedge deeper between him and his girlfriend, you .
Spotting you sitting on his bed, he quickened his heart pace, his mind racing with questions and accusations. As he reached you, he took a deep breath, steeling himself for the confrontation.
âWe need to talk" Matheo said, his voice strained with emotion as he stood before her.
You look up, your eyes meeting his with a mixture of surprise and concern. "Matheo, what's wrong? You look upset."
Matheo struggled to find the right words, his throat tight with uncertainty. "I... I heard something," he began, his voice faltering. "About you and... someone else."
Your brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean? Who said what?"
Matheo hesitated, the weight of the accusation heavy on his tongue. "It doesn't matter who said it," he replied, his voice tinged with bitterness. "What matters is whether it's true or not."
Your eyes widened in shock. "I do not know what youâre talking about . Talk to me , I do not understand whatâs happening."
Matheo felt a pang of guilt at the hurt in her eyes, but the doubt had already taken root in his mind. "I want to believe you " he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "But the rumors... they're everywhere."
You reached out, taking his hand in yours. "Matheo, please. What is this rumor , please calm down"
But Matheo pulled away, the fear and uncertainty consuming him. "I need some time to think," he said, his voice hollow with regret. "I'm sorry ."
As Matheo walked away, leaving you lost on his bed, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had just made the biggest mistake of his life.
Days turned into weeks, and the distance between Matheo and You grew wider with each passing moment.Â
You were at your potionâs class when you discovered the truth.Â
"...did you hear about y/n and Cormac?" whispered a voice from the neighboring table, barely audible above the clamor of the class.
Your heart skipped a beat as you strained to listen, your curiosity piqued by the mention of your name. You leaned in closer, your pulse quickening with apprehension.
"They've been spotted together, looking awfully cozy," another voice replied, tinged with gossip and speculation.
A wave of disbelief washed over you as she struggled to process the words you had just heard. your mind raced with questions, your thoughts spiraling into chaos as she tried to make sense of the rumors swirling around her.
With a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, you realized that she had stumbled upon the reason why Mattheo had broken up with you : Cormac. The name echoed in her mind like a curse, dredging up memories she had long tried to forget.
You were walking as fast as you could . The only thing that you needed now was to punch Cormac.You had finally found him in a random corridor.
Your voice trembled with suppressed rage. "Did you spread those rumors about me and you?" you demanded, your eyes flashing with anger.
Cormac's smirk only widened, his tone dripping with mockery. "Oh darling, you really think anyone would believe you're innocent? You've always been too naive for your own good."
Your fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms. "You're lying," she spat, her voice barely above a whisper. "You did this to hurt me, didn't you?"
Cormac chuckled darkly, his eyes glinting with malice. "Oh, it's not just about hurting you, sweetheart. It's about showing everyone how you really are â in love with me"
Anger surged through you like a tidal wave, her resolve hardening with each word. "You don't know anything about me," you shot back, your voice rising with fury. "You're just a coward hiding behind lies and deceit."
Cormac's laughter echoed through the alley, a cruel sound that sent shivers down your spine. "And what are you going to do about it ?" he taunted, taking a step closer. "You can't fight the truth, no matter how much it hurts."
It was too much for you, revenge took over. And your point left with force in Cormac's head. So hard that he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
You didn't waste time and ran, you now had to find mattheo and explain the whole situation to him.Â
Matheo tried to focus on his studies, to bury himself in the routine of college life, but the nagging feeling of uncertainty gnawed at him, a constant reminder of what he had lost.
Then, one day, as he sat alone in the library, a familiar voice broke through the silence.
"Matheo."
He looked up to see you standing before him, your eyes red-rimmed and weary.
â What are you doing here?" he asked, surprised by your sudden appearance.
"I need to talk to you," you said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Matheo's heart skipped a beat as he watched you stand in front of him . "What is it?"
You took a deep breath, steeling herself for what you was about to say. "I need you to listen to me, Matheo. Really listen."
He nodded, his heart pounding in his chest.
"The rumors... they're not true," she began, her voice trembling with emotion.Â
âIt was all Cormacâ you saidÂ
"I would never cheat on you, Matheo. I love you."
Matheo felt a wave of relief wash over him, mingled with a deep sense of shame for ever doubting you.
"I'm so sorry, " he said, his voice choked with emotion.Â
He stood up and took you in his arms .
Matheo looked into your eyes, his heart overflowing with love and gratitude. "I don't ever want to lose you, my love. Will you forgive me?"
You smiled, a tear slipping down your cheek. "Of course, Matheo. I forgive you."

Say Yes to me
summary: You've been in love with Jeon Wonwoo since forever, and due to your family relations, you had hopes you'd marry him. Your only problem? he's getting engagement to someone else.
or
During his Engagement party, your childhood best friend and love of your life, Jeon Wonwoo, asks you to run away with him.
pairing: 1960s!AU - Childhood bestfriend! Wonwoo x F!Reader
word count: 10k (45~ minute read) â My longest ever!
warnings: unrequited crushes and overall foolishness, idiots in love, best friends to lovers to not lovers to lovers again, some angst?, Wonwoo is such a nerd, making out in dingy motels, unrealistic mileage for gasoline, seokmin being the sweetest
a/n: This will most certainly be my last fic of the year! So, Happy Holidays everyone! This year has been so troublesome, but I've grown so much and written a lot more, too! I'm so, so grateful for everyone I've met and everyone that's enjoyed my stuff! See you in 2024!
Had you been questioned, there would never be a concrete answer to the question of just how long you had been in love with Jeon Wonwoo.Â
Youâd know him forever, and maybe you loved him all along.
Your families were business partners turned friends. And there had always been talk of marriage between the children. Of course, for convenience. The Jeonâs produced top-class racing and sports cars, while your family were in the chemical business, specialising in industry paints and finishes, it was only natural to unite the two families and profit.Â
Although your wealth was vast, it was nothing compared to the Jeonâs, despite always having the chance to frequent the same environments, you often found you were on different levels altogether.Â
Jeon Wonwoo was the eldest son, and he carried himself as such â with all the poise and arrogance of the heir to a global conglomerate. He liked golfing and late night swims. Always took his coffee black with no sugar, and barely had anything for breakfast, preferring a hearty lunch instead.Â
His younger brother, Lee Seokmin, was the result of an affair with a secretary, though that did not mean he was loved any less, no. Seokmin lacked a single mean bone in his body, he had a pure heart and a contagious laugh. Â
They were by all means what people liked to call Irish Twins, born less than a year apart. And the nature of that fact only made their differences more apparent. Complete opposites they were, and that extended to how they treated you, too.Â
Every summer growing up, your family would travel to the country house and you and your sister would spend the better part of the months at the club. Oh, how you loved the country club with the fun summer activities the clear chlorinated water, having a meal under the pool umbrellas and getting funny tan lines.Â
But most of all, you enjoyed Jeon Wonwoo.
His family frequented the same club and every summer, youâd be practically glued to Wonwoo, even if he didnât dare to pay you any attention.
You were only three years apart, yet he acted as if you were an immature brat. Seokmin had always been happy to play with you and your sister, though.Â
More often than not, Wonwoo would lounge by the pool with a book, never daring to go in. And you would cross your arms over tile by the sides and try your damnedest to strike a conversation with him. He would ignore your every word, or worse, poke fun at your latest obsession.Â
âWonwoo, at what time where you born?â You ask, spitting out any chlorine filled water off your mouth.Â
He arches an eyebrow, looking up from his book.
âWhat?â
âWhat time were you born?â You repeat, unbothered by his acidic tone.
âWhy would I know that?â
âCanât you ask your mum?âÂ
He rolls his eyes, âWhy do you wanna know?â
âSo I can see your birth chart,â You shrug, twirling a wet strand of hair around your finger.Â
âThe fuck is a birth chart?â
âItâs like⊠Itâs a way to see your personality⊠And I can check to see if weâre compatible.â
âThatâs stupidâŠâ He rolls his eyes, again, âYouâre stupid.âÂ
You scoff, âYou wonât play alongâ Youâre such a bore!â You yell out and dive back in the pool, leaving behind a cackling Wonwoo.Â
Those hapless summer days were spent lazing by the pool with your sister and Seokmin â without a care in the world, laughing about nothing. With the isolated water-balloon fight every now and then.Â
Youâd grown up before you could realise it, never truly leaving behind your childish crush on Wonwoo. Even if by the age hierarchy, you had no chance of marrying him â Your sister were to marry Wonwoo and you possibly married Seokmin.Â
Though you held hope, it crumbled away with every passing minute.Â
But that year, your sister had the greatest early birthday present: Sheâd found the man she was to marry and best of all, your daddy could never say no to his girls.Â
With your sister marrying the love of her life, it meant that you would marry Wonwoo, right? It was only a matter of time and you would be sworn to each other before God, your friends, and family. And your first love would blossom.Â
On your 21st birthday, your father took you to work with him for the day, though you most lazed around and answered his calls. You only expected to have lunch for your birthday and a party on the weekend.
At noon, he drove to the Jeonâs factory to deliver the new paint samples.Â
The workers, most of whom had watched you, your sister and the Jeon kids grow up, greet you excitedly and some even wish you happy birthday. Your father goes straight to the floor to speak to the manager.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Jeon himself shows up.
Mr. Jeon was a handsome old man a captivating smile, he was incredibly passionate about his work and adored mechanics, but he loved his sons above all â And he had great expectations for his boys.Â
He greets you with a warm hug and wishes you a happy birthday before discussing business with your father. To which you busy yourself with staring at the pieces waiting for a coat of paint.
âHey, baby, why donât you come with us to the patio?â Your father calls and you oblige, skipping toward the two men.
The patio is where they stored their models waiting to be shipped out to agencies or sometimes, for the higher profile clients, directly to the customer. You look at the new line to be launched next winter: sleek and modern with leather seats and wooden accents on the interior. You could never criticise the Jeonâs for their taste, they knew their stuff.Â
âCome here, baby,â Your father waves his hands, âWhat do you think of this car?âÂ
You study the convertible in a bright red with a cream leather interior; a classic.Â
âItâs gorgeous, daddy, when are they launching it?â
âIt should be out next year, but what do you think of the colour?â
âI like it,â You nod enthusiastically.
âThatâs great baby, why donât you read up on this model?â He hands you a tiny card, common in the factory, that has the model and batch number, as well as the signature from the supervisor. But just underneath the model, you see the colour name: your name.
As you look at your father, completely astonished, he just lets out a warm laugh and opens his arms for a hug.
âYou named a shade after me?!â You glue yourself to him, still in shock.Â
âHappy birthday, princess.âÂ
âThank you, daddy, youâre the best!âÂ
âThatâs your dadâs present, how about you open mine, now?â Mr. Jeon interjects, waving a tiny jewelry box in the air.Â
You fix your hair and take it from his hand, expecting maybe a ring, or earrings.Â
But you find brand new car keys.
Mouth agape, you look at him while your father can only laugh at your surprised expression.
âWhy donât you give it a spin?â Mr. Jeon encourages, rushing you toward the convertible.Â
And though your father is beside himself with worry for you driving during rush hour, he settles for sitting in the passengerâs seat and doing some good old backseat driving, even though you barely make it past 30.
You drive around the block and return to the factory before your father has an anxiety attack over your driving.Â
âThank you so much, Mr. Jeon! When did you even do this?! I had no idea!â
âWonwoo oversaw the whole thing, heâs the one you should thank,â He laughs it off, but your heart can only skip a beat at the mention of your belovedâs name. Especially thinking he was the one to take care of such a great gift.
Wonwoo loved mechanics as much as his dad, sometimes even more. He even went to a good college for it, coming back even smarter than before â and much sassier, too. He never stopped doing manual work in the factory, guaranteeing every car made was up to the Jeon standard.
And you were very biased toward his mechanic abilities, especially when he would furrow his brow, glasses perched on the very tip of his nose; he would wipe off sweat off his forehead with his grease covered arm.Â
You remember to this day the last time your father came to discuss swatches and you stopped by the shop. Watching Wonwoo work on an older model with a leaky oil tank.Â
He did everything himself, changed the tank perched under the car, soldering a brand new one. He also did a once over on anything else that could become a problem in the future, any filters needing change, checking wires and gears, making sure the oil was fresh. The problem came with the lights. He had such a hard time wiggling his thick arms through the machinery to reach the right spot, and you watched very intently how his triceps flexed, deep green veins bulging under his skin.
Wonwoo had gotten so frustrated heâd shed off the top part of his coveralls, sporting a white undershirt so tight you could basically tell the shape of his sweat-clad torso. Oh, how youâd hoped he never got that bulb in place.
âComeâere,â Wonwoo calls out without further ado.Â
âWhy?â
âNeed your help,â He mumbles under a sigh.
You rise from the barrel you were sitting on and approach the open hood. âWith what?â
âGetting this fuckinâ bulb in place,â He hands you the tiny light bulb.
âWhere do I need to put it?â
âSeeâ in between this part, need to shove you hand until you reach back here in the light, then you just screw it in.â
âWhat if I get stuck?âÂ
âYou wonât, youâre so petite,â He smirks.
You scoff, âShut up.â
Leaning over the hood, you place your left hand on the chassis to steady yourself and shove your right hand in between gears and machinery, trying to find the spot he mentioned.
âI canât find it,â You complain.
âKeep trying.â
âI am!â
âHere, deeperââ He reaches for you, one hand on your waist and another on your arm, forcing you toward the place.
Youâre way too focused on finding the damn spot for the light, that you barely notice the proximity at all.Â
âCanât find it!â
âRight, rightâ My right.â
âItâs the same freakinâ right, you idiot,â You hiss.
He laughs, âFine, our right,â you groan at his stupid joke, âIt should be there, try to bring it closer to you.âÂ
âFound it!â You squeal with a smile, screwing the bulb in its place.Â
âAtta girl,â Wonwoo smiles.Â
âThere!â With a relieved sigh, you finally free your grease-clad hand from the machinery, slightly cringing at the black covering your fingernails â Itâd be such a bother to clean it up.Â
When you finally lean back, you stumble onto Wonwooâs firm chest. Lucky for you, he catches you, steady hold at your waist. Youâre finally aware of his proximity, to which he only smiles.Â
Looking down at where his warm, tauntingly large hands meet your waist, youâre suddenly filled with nothing but rage. â
âYou got grease all over my dress!â You whine, looking at the perfectly stamped print of his hand over your brand new summer dress.Â
He only laughs, âLooks better this way, trust me.â
âUgh!â You groan, stomping toward the washing area where they kept clean rugs.Â
He closes the hood with a loud thump that echoes through the shop and slides into the driverâs seat. The car comes alive with a loud hum and ta-da! The headlight works.Â
You are a little proud of your work, yes. But itâs not like youâll show it.
âDo you not anything clean in here?!â You complain, eyeing the pile of grease-covered rags thrown in a corner. That had to be a fire hazard.
âWhat?â Wonwoo shouts over the running engine.
You huff and stomp your way back to the car, throwing open the driverâs door. âI have a formal dinner to go to,â You state, leaning over the door.
âOkay, then go.âÂ
Rolling your eyes, you hold back any possible insults, âLike this?â You gesture toward your otherwise perfectly fine dress.Â
He holds back a little mischievous smile, âI have some clean clothes in the office.â
Wide eyes, mouth hanging agape, you stare at him dumbfound, âI hope thatâs a joke, Jeon Wonwoo.âÂ
He laughs, genuinely. That sweet, deep, dorky laugh of his that reverberates through his chest and plunges straight into your heart.Â
âCome on, Iâll drive you home.â
As much as he did tease you, Wonwoo never made short on his promises.Â
âIs he around?â You ask Mr. Jeon, trying your best to suppress any expectations.
âOh, he had some business⊠But he wished you a happy birthday.â
Your smile falters before your catch it, forcing the corners of your lips into a beautiful, rehearsed smile. âLet him know Iâm grateful. For the wishes and for the amazing present.â
It would soon be Wonwooâs birthday and you had been preparing for what felt like ages. You got him a really nice set of electric work tools since he complained often about how the shopâs tools were always malfunctioning. But you did feel somewhat bad about only getting him a gift relating to work on what should be a day about him.Â
So you caved in and got him a gorgeous wrist watch with classy black leather straps; on the underside you had his name inscribed with a heart. â You actually hadnât planned for the heart, but the jeweller got confused in between so many orders and it was too close to the date to have it re-done. You hoped you could play it off in a cool manner, maybe he would laugh at your story.
The party would be held the eve of his actual birthday, and you arrived at the venue with hours to spare. Your father and sister are by the entrance, speaking to Mr. Jeon, you greet them.
âHi, Mr. Jeon! Where should I put the gifts?â
âOhââ Surprised, he looks at your father, âYouâve brought giftsââ He seems⊠surprised? As if it were so weird to bring presents to a birthday party. âUhâ Iâm not sure, let me check with my wife where you could place those.â
You father nervously sips on his champagne, avoiding your sisterâs burning looks.
âYou havenât told her,â Your sister turns to your father, âWhy didnât you tell her?â
âTell me what?â You ask.
âHoney⊠This isnât Wonwooâs birthday partyâŠâ Your father speaks very slowly, gauging for your reaction at his every word.
Eyebrows raised, you question, âWhat do you mean?â
âItâs an engagement party, heâs getting engaged to Suzy,â Your sister rips the band-aid off.
And you feel the air being sucked out of your lungs at once, an agonising knot pulls at your throat and your nose stings with the threat of tears. The shopping bags fall from your hands and you fight off the urge to bawl your eyes out.Â
Before you actually do cry your eyes out, you rush outside.
âBabyââ Your father calls but you just storm off, not wanting to be near anyone.Â
Engaged? Engaged!
EngagedâŠ
Wonwoo was getting fucking engaged.Â
With a bitch named Suzy who had the prettiest hair youâd ever seen and knew how to talk to investors and could speak a thousand languages. And worst of all, she was the kindest, sweetest girl ever. You couldnât even hate her!
You werenât even allowed that! As much as you werenât allowed a simple heads up. How hard was it to tell you beforehand âHey, the guy youâve loved your entirely life is getting married to some girl and you just brought lemon pies to his engagement party, thought youâd want to know.â
Maybe you shouldâve taken the pies with you, at least youâd have some comfort.Â
You know what, what the fuck. Why didnât Wonwoo tell you anything?! It had been barely a couple of days since you saw each other, why couldnât he tell you? Were you not even worthy of that?Â
Like having known each other your entire lives doesnât make you worthy of such âwonderfulâ news? How hard is it to tell someone in passing that youâre getting engaged! And now, youâre supposed to smile all night and pretend like your guts arenât festering in rage and melancholy and your blood doesnât run cold at the mere thought of Wonwoo walking down the aisle.
Giving it a second thought, maybe it wasnât set in stone yet.Â
Itâs the modern times and even back in your parentsâ days, engagements were broken off all the time! He might not marry Suzy. You might have a chance.Â
Maybe you could askâ no, you could plead with your father to tell Mr. Jeon to think it all over. Wonwoo is still young, itâs not time to settle down just yet. He wanted to study abroad, he talked about the automobile industry in Europe with such amaze, and if that took a little longer, maybe Suzy would get tired of waiting?
Who were you fooling? You shouldâve seen it coming.
Of course, he wouldnât have married you, what were you thinking?!
Heâs the Jeonâs precious firstborn and youâre⊠someone who canât even tell apart the sizing in wrenches â To top it all off, Suzy was notably great with mechanics.Â
You really wish you had those pies with you, it would make your salty tears a little sweeter.
By the time youâre done sobbing in your car, you look a hot mess with runny make-up and swollen eyes. With a sigh, you pull out your purse and muster up any cosmetics that can save you for tonight.Â
You could cry all you wanted at home, but right now, you needed to look pretty and have your pictures taken.
By the time you return, the party is to start and guests are gathering at the front, your sister immediately rushes to your side.
âAre you okay?â she whispers, soft hands reaching for yours.Â
Forcing out a smile, âOf course! Who do you think I am?â
By the look on her face, you know she doesnât trust your words not one bit, but will not pry at your emotions any further. At least not for tonight, youâre sure tomorrow she will grill you about this. But for now, you put on a bright smile and greet all the guests.
From the Jeonâs, Seokmin is the third to arrive, missing only by the birthday boy himself. But he immediately greets his parents and comes to greet your family.
âHey!â You smile, putting aside your glass of champagne so you can hug him properly.
âHow you doinâ?â He asks, gorgeous smile on display.Â
âIâmâ Wellââ
âTheyâve told you thenââÂ
You press your lipstick coloured lips into a thin line, âYeah,â You nod.
âShit.â
âYeah,â You shrug, âIâm happy, Suzy is⊠aââ Nice words. Nice words. ââwonderful girl.â
Seokmin offers you a sweet smile. âLetâs hope she can handle his tantrums,â he nudges at your arm.
âOh, please!â You laugh.
Wonwoo was known for sometimes having a bit of a short temper, not often, by any means and maybe thatâs what made them so memorable. Like the one time he couldnât finish a puzzle during game night, so he gathered all the pieces and set the ablaze in the backyard.
âOrââ A waiter passes by with a tray full of champagne and he so kindly grabs two glasses, offering you one. âListen to thisâ He gets to the church, covered in grease from head to toe.âÂ
You laugh at the thought. Gods, how many times has Wonwoo decided to work on an engine while wearing his most expensive outfit? His mother nearly had a fit every time he would show up dishevelled and smelling like motor oil pretending like nothingâs wrong.Â
âPlease,â You sip at your drink, âI bet heâs gonna be all greased up tonight.â
Seokmin laughs wholeheartedly. He was the sort of guy to never hold back a fit of giggles no matter how inappropriate it may be, and it was certainly refreshing to know someone genuinely found your company enjoyable.
âFor sure, I think her parents will freak out.âÂ
You nod.Â
Tapping at your glass, you hesitate the following words, âGuess weâll be the ones getting married for the family, thenâŠâ
You didnât hate Seokmin, far from it. You loved him to bitsâ Not like Wonwoo, of course, you believed you would never love a man like you loved Wonwoo, ever again.Â
He was funny, and such a gentleman. Not to mention, handsome, too. If you werenât hopelessly in love with his brother, he wouldâve been the perfect husband of your dreams. But he did deserve better than a wife who could never give him what he deserves.Â
âSorry about that,â Seokmin comforts you and that only makes your nose sting with the threat of more tears.
âStooop!â You whine in a shaky voice and heâs overcome with worry.
âHeyâ Whatâs wrongâ?â
âDonât be so sweetâ Iâm emotional tonightââ You laugh at your emotional state, despite the teary-eyes.
âAre you a crybaby tonight?â
You nod, fanning your eyes in the hope of drying your tears before they can wash away your makeup.
Seokmin smiles, wrapping an arm around your shoulder and you lean against his chest, fighting the urge to cry.
Itâs only when youâre certain you wonât bawl your eyes out, that you respond. âItâs not that I hate you, you know I love you, but⊠You deserve someone that will love you like a husband.âÂ
He nods, âI knowâ But it might not be so bad, weâre friends! Weâll have sleepovers every day, and weâll have Italian every night, weâll watch those silly movies you likeâŠâ Seokmin lists off all the things you would do in your very platonic marriage and it doesnât sound so bad.Â
He knew exactly how you felt, he loved you, of course he did, you were so precious in his eyes, but not like a lover.Â
You pull your face away from his chest to look up at him, âAre you gonna let me choose your clothes?âÂ
Seokmin sighs. You hated his questionable fashion since forever and in only very rare occasions did he accept your input, any other time and he assaulted your spirit with clashing patterns and silly shoes.
âFineâ!âÂ
You smile brightly, properly comforted.Â
Before you can tease him any further, you spot Wonwoo entering the venue. Although he is immediately swarmed with congratulatory words, his shy nature makes it so his only response is always an awkward smile.Â
He immediately spots you among the crowd.
You breathe in. In that moment, despite knowing he was sworn to another, that did not stop your heart from fluttering at the sight of him, his broad shoulders and the crooked tie he clearly put on a rush.
âCongrats, bro!â Seokmin is the first one to greet him, not letting go of your shoulder but instead pulling Wonwoo into a semi-hug.Â
âSeokminâŠâ Wonwoo eyes his brother and then you, and then his brother again.
âCongrats, Nonu,â You smile, letting go of Seokminâs comfort to reach for a hug.Â
Wonwoo smiles, letting you cling onto his neck, your citric perfume seeping into his clothes and body.Â
Oh, how his warmth could never compare to another. How you craved his affection like no other.Â
âThanksâ Uh, did you bring me anything?â He asks in a teasing tone.
âEyâ Nonu!â Seokmin scolds his brother.Â
âHow did you know I brought you something?â You giggle, pulling away from the hug.Â
Wonwoo shrugs.Â
You reach for his crooked tie, straightening it to the best of your abilities. âI brought it earlier, but I think your mum took it to the back room,â You explain, focused on the tie.
He, however is focused on your concentrated face, parted red lips and furrowed brows. The proximity that lets him almost feel your chest pressed against his, as if extending the hug.Â
âHowever, you, mister, have to greet your guests!â You scold, setting his tie in place.
Seokmin joins in, once again throwing his arm around your shoulder. âThatâs right, mum already gave me an earful about how late you wereâ And I got here on time!âÂ
âYeahâ Yeahâ Youâre right,â Wonwoo nods.
âLiquid courage?â You offer your half-drunk glass of champagne and he downs it in one go.
You and Seokmin goof around a little more and gossip about certain guests behind their backs. Dinner is served and you all sit down to eat, Seokmin insists you sit beside him, which just so happens to also be next to Wonwoo. And you thank him for indulging you one last time.
Wonwoo is mostly quiet, but you were used to him not being rather fond of public parties, especially when all of the attention is on him. On his other side, sits Suzy, the blushing bride-to-be. She tries to make conversation with Wonwoo, though most of it falls flat, he only ever gives her monosyllabic answers and rarely contributes to discussions.Â
That is until Mr. and Mrs. Jeon stand up, tapping forks to their glasses to call for everyoneâs attention. The room quiets down instantly.Â
âLadies and gentlemen, thank you for attending our little gathering tonight,â Mr Jeon greets the guests. âWe have some wonderful news we would like to share with you all.âÂ
âMy beautiful son, how proud I am of you,â He adds, âEvery day I am amazed at your intellect. Often, I question just where did you get those smarts!â
Everyone laughs.
âYou have grown into a fine man, and I canât take credit for any of it. You are the most mature, talented, and intelligent boy and you did it all by yourselfâ â
You can watch how Wonwooâs eyes gloss over with tears.Â
âIâm growing old, you know. And every father wants the guarantee that his children will be taken care of⊠Thatâs why Iâm so relieved and happy to announce that my worries will soon be goneââ He laughs but his sonâs smile falters, âIâd like to announce the engagement of my son, Wonwoo, to this beautiful young lady named Suzanne. Welcome to the family, Suzy.âÂ
He raises his glass and soon, the room fills with uproar. Everyone claps and you join in, smiling toward Mr. Jeon and Suzy. She stands up, thanking everyone and raising her own glass.
But Wonwoo doesnât move.Â
âNonu?â You whisper.Â
In his ears all that can be heard is muffled screams of joy and the incessant acute ringing. He closes his fists so tight that his blunt nails almost break through skin, he doesnât look at you, but itâs so clear something is wrong.
You and Seokmin exchange glances.Â
Before you can call for him again, he stands up at once, the chair falling behind him with a loud bang that silences the room in an instant. In large and rushed strides, Wonwoo leaves for the patio.Â
You stand up and follow him.Â
âWonwoo!â You call out, almost tripping over your party heels.Â
He stands in the yard, hand gripping at his gelled hair while the other fights with his tie, pulling at the suffocating fabric until it slides down.
The yard is decorated with a gorgeous fountain, sound of running water somewhat soothing in this moment.
âNonu, whatâs wrong?â You whisper, a hand reaching for his heaving shoulder.
âWhat wrong?!â He yells back, shoving your hand away, âDid you not fuckinâ hear âem?!âÂ
You step back and his gaze somewhat softens, realising he just pushed you.
âYou didnât knowâŠâ You whisper to yourself, epiphany hitting you like a punch to the gut. How could Mr. Jeon do this?! Throw this on him without any previous warning?!
âYouâ You knew?â His voice is shaky, laced with the sharp sting of betrayal.
âI found it out myself tonight when I got hereâ Iâ I thought you knew! I thought you agreed to it!â You argue.Â
âHowâ How can you think I would agree to marry someoneââ His words trail off in the night breeze, never to be finished.Â
âThenâ What will you do?â
âI donât know!âÂ
You bite at your nails, finding a concrete surface to sit on and ponder.Â
âI must leaveââ He speaks out, âRun away with meââ
âWhat?!â you stand up.
âLetâs leave, drive somewhereâ Wherever! I canât stay a moment longer in this place.âÂ
Oh, what a dilemma it was.
Abandon an engagement party with the groom-to-be, leaving behind furious parents and confused guests. And part of you knew that, despite your familyâs closeness and no matter how much your father claimed you were all very close like family, driving off in the middle of the night with a committed man was a blow to any respectable, single, young ladies.
What a dilemma it couldâve been if you werenât so enamoured with this man you would beck at any given call of his.
âIâll get my bag and tell your parents you want to stay out here for a couple of minutes,â You announce and he nods.
As you walk back into the venue, all eyes are on you.
âHeâs got the wedding jitters, everyone, not to worry. Wonwoo will return after heâs had a bit of fresh air,â You announce with a smile and all guests return to their previous activities.
But Mr. Jeon immediately corners you.
âWhat is he thinking?!â He half-yells, half-whispers.
âHeâs just nervous, itâs a big bit of newsâŠâ You lie through your teeth, âI think a little heads up wouldâve helped, you know he doesnât do well with surprises.â
The man sighs, âHe wouldnât ever agree to it. Iâve offered him countless girls to marry and he never accepts any of them.â Mr. Jeon looks at you and then sighs. âDo me a favour, convince him to come back, will you?â
âYes, sir,â You nod and head off into the back rooms.
Unbeknown to you, Seokmin is on your trail and he waits until you are in the back lounge, gathering your bags and jacket to close the door and corner you.
âWhat the hell happened?â
You jump at the sudden intrusion, âYou scared me!â You whisper.
âSorry,â He whispers back.
âHe didnât know!â
âWhat?!â He says in a normal tone, soon realising just how loud that was.Â
âWhat I said, I think your dad set up a trap⊠He knows Wonwoo wonât go against his word.â
âShit. What are we gonna do?â
âHe wants to run away,â You announce.
Seokmin looks at you, and then at the purse hanging from your should and the jacket in your hands.Â
âAnd youâre coming with him?â
âI canât leave him alone, not tonight.â
âAnd where are you going?â
âI donât know,âÂ
âAnd when are you coming back?â
âI donât know.â
âYou are coming back, right?â
âI have no idea, Seokmin,â You realise, but the prospect doesnât scare you as badly.
He scratches at his head. âLeave through the kitchen, Iâll hold off my dad. Make sure to give me a call once you guys are⊠I donât knowâ Just give a call, will you?âÂ
You nod, pulling him into a hug.
Doing as he instructed, you pass through the kitchen staff and rush through the backdoor, unseen by the guests. Wonwoo is sitting on a concrete bench, his head between his hands.
âReady?â You call out.
Wonwoo looks up, nodding before he rises to his height. You offer him a comforting smile and reach for his hand.Â
Once you get hold of his hand, you bolt across the yard toward the parking lot. He almost stumbles over his lanky legs, but catches up rather fast. You throw your stuff on the backseat and enter your car, Wonwoo decides to jump over the door.Â
You laugh at his antics with a shake of your head.Â
Once your heels are discarded, you start the engine and drive off, leaving behind that dreaded engagement party. Wonwoo busies himself with shedding his formal wear, throwing his tie on the floor and removing his blazer.Â
In any other occasion, this couldâve been such a lovely late-night drive, just the two of you in your beloved car, night breeze caressing your faces with her ice-cold kisses, cruising through deserted roads, barely a soul in sight except for the night owls.
And you might allow yourself to enjoy this moment.
The silence isnât a bother, no, Wonwoo was always a man of comfortable silences to you, but this once, youâre worried about goes on in that busy mind of his.
âYou alright?â You ask, looking away from the road to steal a glance or two at him.
âYeah,â He replies.
âTruly?â
âNo,â He scoffs at his own lie. âBut Iâll be.â
You nod.Â
You drive out of town and on the interstate roads for ages until Wonwoo finally speaks up. Youâre completely engulfed in darkness except for your headlights.
âWe should stop soon and have a rest.â
âOkay,â You nod, âAny preferences?â
âAnywhere.âÂ
And so you tell him to keep his eyes peeled open when a sign on the road says there should be a motel in the next couple KM. It doesnât take too long before youâre pulling into the parking lot of a roadside motel, much of a far-cry from your expensive hotels and luxury living.Â
You check in at the front desk with an old man who seems very unhappy with his life, he short of throws the keys your way.Â
The room is⊠surprisingly nice, given the circumstances of the ambience. Only problem is the, although quite large, singular bed. You exchange glances.
âShit,â Wonwoo curses, âIâm gonnaÂ
âYou wanna get hit?â You joke, âHeâs minutes away from killing us over this room. We can just share the bed.â
He looks at you with wide eyes. âIâll sleep in the tub.â
Oh, he certainly seems to hate the idea of sharing a bed with you, huh.
âNonu, please, itâs late and weâre both tired. It will be just like when we were kids,â You explain, setting aside your stuff.
Wonwoo nods, sitting on the strangely comfortable bed.
âYou think they have robes?â You ask, looking around.
âWouldnât bet on it.âÂ
âOh, Iâd kill to get out of this dress,â You whine, running to the bathroom to check for anything you could wear instead of your dress.Â
He just bites at his lips, watching you pace from side to side in that tiny bedroom.Â
Thatâs when you remember your forgotten shopping bags sitting in the trunk! Your compulsive shopping habits just saved you from a very uncomfortable nightâs sleep, how convenient!
âI think I have some clothes in my car,â You announce, grabbing the keys and heading toward the door.
âWait, youâre going by yourself? let me go with you.â
âI donât wanna lock the door, though,â You whine.
He sighs, âStay here, Iâll go.âÂ
You jump, âThank you, Nonu!â
While Wonwoo rummages through your trunk and pulls out the surprising large amount of shopping bags, you shed off your clothes and head toward the bathroom, dying to get some hot water on your body, put on your new PJs and doze off.Â
When he returns however, he is greeted by a sight any other man would die to see. Youâve left a trail of clothes from the bed toward the bathroom door. Starting on your pretty dress, splayed out over tiled-floor, and then your tights and then your underwear, matching, tooâÂ
He clears his throat. âIâm back!âÂ
But you probably donât hear him through the running shower, so he just sets down the bags and avoid the sight of your clothes. He decides to turn on the tiny TV and browse through any late night re-runs. You take only a couple of minutes in your shower.
âNonu?â You ask from the bathroom.
âYeah?â He turns down the TV.
âDid you find the clothes?â
âYeah.â
âCan you bring me something to wear?â Wonwoo gulps.Â
âUhâ Which one?â
âThere should be a light blue bag and a pink one.âÂ
âOkayââ He stands up and searches for the aforementioned colours.Â
Wonwoo heads to the bathroom door and leans against the wall, facing away from the door. He knocks once. You open the door and shove your arm through, reaching for the bags.
âThank youu!âÂ
He returns to the boring TV. Though all he could think about was the sight of your wet supple skin, knowing you were bare with only a thin sheet of plywood separating you.Â
You leave the bathroom smelling of cheap soap and fresh into your brand new nightgown. It is tentatively short with an almost see-through round of lace over the hems. In your defence, you werenât planning on showing this nightgown to anyone anytime soon.Â
Sitting on the bed, you look around the room, not noticing how Wonwooâs eyes donât really meet yours or how red his ears seem to burn.
âArenât you gonna shower?â You ask.
âFeels a bit redundant to shower and get back into my dirty clothes.âÂ
âI think I might have something for you, if you donât want to sleep in a suit,â You pry.
Wonwoo raises an eyebrow, âIâm listening.â
âBut you canât judge! I bought this for my dad because you know he deals very poorly with the heatâ And he never buys himself anything!â Youâre explaining yourself in advance because you remember very well what you bought.
Silky boxer shorts and a tank top, which your father loved to sleep in on stuffy summer nights but you doubted would be Wonwooâs first choice of wear, ever.
He haggles with his own mind; give into the silky boxer shorts or sleep in the most uncomfortable outfit ever. With a tired sigh, Wonwoo accepts his fate and grabs the bag.Â
You smile as he stomps toward the bathroom with a defeated frown.
By the time he returns, youâve cleaned up your trail of clothes and made yourself very comfortable in the bed. You turn your head to face him.
God, he could make a potato sack look good.Â
âHowâs the fit?â You pull your eyes away before you look for too long.Â
Wonwoo shrugs, âIâve had worse.â
You laugh.
He coyly joins you in bed, keeping a large gap between your bodies, settling on top of the covers while youâre under their warmth.Â
âAinât you cold?â You ask, fidgeting with the TV remote.Â
Wonwoo shakes his head, leaning back into the headboard. With a pout, you cross the figurative bridge between the two of you and reach for him. He doesnât shy away from your touch but it visibly confused.
âWhatâs wrong?â He asks, hands hovering in the air, far away from your exposed back.
âIâm sorry your birthday party sucked,â You murmur against his chest, Wonwoo smiles softly, letting his hands rest on you.
âIt didnât suck in its entirety,â he says, palms slightly tapping at your back, âit was fun running away with you.â
You giggle at his comment, heart fluttering at its meaning, âWhat are we going to do? About the engagement, I meanâŠâ
âWe?â He raises an eyebrow.
You pull away from him.
âWellâ You dragged me into this!â You slap at his chest and he lets out a boisterous laugh that almost manages to pull the corners of your from into a smile.
âI know, Iâm taking the piss out of you,â He extends his arms, pulling you back to your previous position, resuming the soft caresses he leaves on your arms. âI donât knowâ This is the first time Iâve ever gone against my father.â
You sigh. âDonât you wanna marry Suzy?â
Thereâs a pause and oh, youâre begging, wishing to hear the words you want most.
âFuck no!â Wonwoo exclaims and you fail to hide your excitement.
âShe is pretty,â You throw the bait, to pry at his true feelings.
âSo is your sister, should I just marry any pretty girl?â
You raise from your position, eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown. Wonwoo looks at you, completely clueless to his words and its consequences.
âWhat the hell?!âÂ
âWhat?âÂ
Kicking off the covers in a flurry, you kneel on the bed, staring at him dead in the eyes. âYou have the hots for my sister!â
Itâs Wonwooâs turn to get angry, âWhat?! Noâ Youâre twisting my wordsââ
âIâm twisting your words?! You just said you think my sister is pretty!âÂ
âBecause she is!â
You jaw drops, you canât believe he is doubling down. âWow,â you shake your head.Â
âWhatâs wrong with saying that?â
You shrug, turning away from him and crossing your arms. âI donât know, why donât you just go an marry my sister, then.â
Only then, does this thick-headed man you love so much realise he has been complimenting other girls without so much as telling you a single nice word â the bare minimum. He sighs and offers you a soft smile, shifting in the bed until he is near you again.
âI donât want to marry your sister. I think she is pretty, but sheâs not the prettiest sister, you are.â He waits for your reaction.
Hook, line and sinker.Â
You turn around immediately, a hint of smile playing in your pretty lips.Â
Thatâs enough for him to break into a wide smile, opening his arms to welcome you back into his warmth. You crash into his chest, wrapping yourself around his torso.Â
He groans, falling back into the mattress but not letting go of you.
Minutes pass before you speak again. âItâs past midnightâŠâ You whisper.
âItâs well past midnight⊠Why?â
You shift upwards until your faces are only inches apart, breath tickling his lips, your beautiful eyes gleaming under dim motel lighting. âHappy birthday,â You whisper between smiles, âMake a wish.âÂ
Wonwoo breathes in, eyes scanning your face, âThereâs one thing I wantâŠâÂ
âWhat is it?âÂ
If he said it out loud, he mightâve lost all courage to do so.Â
So he just does it, Wonwoo leans forward until his lips meet yours in a chaste kiss.Â
It probably lasted a couple of seconds, but those seconds felt like a lifetime when you were finally kissing the man youâve loved for god knows how long. Thereâs a spark of electricity that burns bright from the moment your lips touch and travels through your body, blood boiling in excitement, shyness, and pure love.Â
When the kiss ends, Wonwoo studies your face, watching for any sign of discomfort. Which is even more worrying when youâre standing there, froze solid with an empty stare.
But thankfully, before he can say anything, you throw caution into the wind.Â
You pull him into a kiss. Throwing every sense of morale and shame you had out the damn window. He was a man sworn to another, for Pete's sake! But here you here, crashing your lips into his perfect, soft ones.Â
Wonwoo lets out a quiet groan, almost inaudible, but you hear it, oh yes, you do. And it runs straight through your chest and down to your core.Â
Although the sensible, rational part of your brain tells you to quit kissing him at once and just apologise, the other 99% of your brain, whoâs been in love with him since forever, wants nothing of the sort. And you might have listened to the not-so-rational part of you, because you just deepened the kiss, shifting your weight until youâre partially on top of him.
Your lips move against him, shyly exploring this kiss, engraving every moment into your memory.Â
Yet he reciprocates. His warm hands finds your waist, holding you flush against his torso, heartbeats thumping completely in-sync. You wrap your arms around his neck and he takes the chance to pull you deeper into those dangerous lips of his. His tongue finds its way into your mouth, licking and twirling against yours, hot and eager.Â
He dips his head, one hand reaches to tangle into your hair and manoeuvre you around, allowing himself complete freedom to explore every bit of your mouth.Â
Wonwoo kisses like no other. Not that you had too much of a repertoire to compare him to.Â
But he consumes your lips with an unbound hunger, nothing similar to the calm and collected Wonwoo you knew, no. Heâs hungry, messy, and very clumsy, clashing teeth one too many times, letting saliva drip down your chins and struggling to move with you on top of him.
When you part the kiss, you lay there breathless, gazing into his ridiculously beautiful beady eyes and long eyelashes, his handsome sharp nose and the most kissable lips youâll ever see.
 It was breathtaking, mind-blowing and nothing like youâve ever felt before. Your heart beats so fast you feel as if you might pass out at any moment but youâd die before you give up experiencing that again.
âWhat was that?â He whispers and his breath tickle your kiss-swollen lips.Â
âYour birthday gift,â You bite at your lower lip. âDid you like it?â
Wonwoo smiles, breathless and half-lidded and your heart damn near bursts. âI did. Did you?â
You nod.
He nods. âWanna do it again?â
You nod and he gives you that stupidly handsome smile of his.
And once again, youâre attached at the lips. This once, nothing like before, which you though impossible. Itâs so much more desperate and it burns, it boils your blood in absolute desire. It leaves you light-headed, it wipes away your cognitive thoughts and leaves behind a foggy cloud of barely strung-together words that only translate into wanting more. More of him.Â
You sigh into the kiss and he drinks it all up, he consumes everything you give him with erratic hands and eager tongue.Â
Wonwoo leaves your lips and you whine with a breathless sigh of his name, almost chipping at any resolve he had left. But he nips at your neck nonetheless, warm, wet tongue trailing along your skin, making you twitch in his arms with the most delectable little âyipsâ of surprise.Â
He bites, feral and determined; determined to make his claim, to leave behind his mark on your body, to indulge in carnal pleasure without a prospect of tomorrow, letting everything else be a construct beyond these motel walls, away from where you laid. Away from this reality where he had you in his hands and you moaned his name with a soft smile.
Practically tearing your nightgown, he pulls the silky fabric just enough until your tits spill out of its confine. Wonwoo sighs at the sight, fingers trailing the contour of your boobs, raising goosebumps along sensitive skin. His eyes are burning in adoration, the most depraved glaze of hunger hidden behind sheer excitement.Â
He dives in, hands kneading at the flesh, squishing soft skin.Â
Slender fingers caress your aereolas, running fingernails along your nipples in curiosity, watching you squirm and bite at your lips as your nipples begin to perk up.Â
And when you thought he was done, Wonwoo attaches his mouth to your nipple, sloppily running his tongue around it before he sucks. He makes sure to let his teeth graze, just to watch you jump.
All while his other hand makes work of your unattended boob, your attention is so thinly divided between his teasing fingers and his hot tongue and the sweetest, most satisfied groans that erupt from his throat.Â
Your face burns and you bite at the back of your hand, shoving down every stubborn moan that tries to make it past; but he wonât have that, no. Wonwoo reaches for your arms, pinning them above your head without so much as pulling away from your tits.Â
Mindlessly, youâve been rocking back and forth against him, chasing a gut feeling youâre unsure of but desire more than anything ever. And without realising, youâve been teasing him just as much as he has you, which is clear by the volume contained by his shorts.Â
He wishes he could ravish your breasts all night, but any more of your squirming and he will come undone without so much as a touch from you.Â
Wonwoo pulls away, hands once against finding your waist as he pulls you back to his chest.
âYou know what comes next, donât you?â He whispers against your lips, half-lidded, lust-filled eyes gazing so deep into your own.Â
âIâ Iâve never done it before,â You confess.
And something stirs within him, to know he is your first, the first and only man to every touch you this way, to trace his lips over your gorgeous body, to settle inside of you.Â
Wonwoo smiles and kisses your nose, âI donât care⊠But only if you donât care that I havenât either.â
Youâre surprised, to say the least.Â
Kissing in between smiles, you raise to your knees, letting him tug at the hem of shorts just enough to free his cock.Â
Itâs nothing like youâve seen before and unlike the illustrations you remember from school. Itâs red and veiny and it glistens with pre-cum under the dim lighting.
But itâs a part of him and you canât help that your belly stirs at the sight of him stroking himself.Â
When you reach for the hem of your nightgown, his hands stop you.
âKeep it onââ He whispers.
âWhy?â
âWeâve got all night to take it off,â He runs his tongue through his top teeth with a side smirk and you almost smack him up the head for being such a little shit.
As he asked so kindly, you bunch up your nightgown around your waist, hips circling around his warmth, meanwhile heâs playing with the flesh of your love handles, kneading and running his fingers over your skin.Â
âReady?â
You nod. He raises your hips and lets you control the pace, you feed in his cock, centimetre by centimetre, feeling itâs girth tear at your walls with an unimaginable sting, it burns hot and heavy in your hands. Â
Crashing onto his chest, you cry out a pained yelp.
Wonwoo run his fingers over your back, kissing the top of your head, his eyebrows are bunched up, face painted with worry. âWe can stopâ Letâs stopââ
âNo!â you raise your head and he can see the tiny droplets bundling around your eyelashes, âJust gimme a minute!â
So you sit there, his cock half-in, pulsing angry red and throbbing under the tease of warmth and tightness. Especially when you look so breathtakingly gorgeous, he gulps, leaning back against the headboard, urging his mind to be strong.Â
It takes you minutes to get used to it, to slowly let the size settle until your muscles are well and accustomed to it and then you start it all over again, feeding the remaining inches until heâs bottomed out.Â
And oh heavens, how utterly full and hot you felt. Despite the stinging pain, part of you wants to chase the pleasure, clenching in sheer hunger.Â
Wonwoo stares up at you, looking for any signs of discomfort but he is met with the most enticing, beautiful, and tempting creature heâs ever laid his eyes upon. Your eyes are glassy with tears, but youâve got a determined look on your face with a hint of a smirk that sends shivers down his spine and up his cock.Â
âShit,â He curses out with a smile, leaning back and rutting into your hips only to watch your eyebrows furrow and your mouth gape, a moan threatening to escape. âReady to move, pretty girl?â
You breathe out, âYeah.â
Steadying yourself against his chest, you raise your hips, feeling his absence leave you upsettingly empty until you let your body crash back down, his cock impaling you with its warmth once again. You rock against him, shallowly, though the motion is unbearably teasing, even for you.Â
Wonwoo lets out an obscene, strained moan, fingernails digging into your waist, but youâre too focused on rocking your hips to notice. How he wants nothing but to piston his hips into your pussy like there is no tomorrow, he relishes in the feeling of your warmth, tight and gummy around his throbbing member.Â
And he finds you might be just as insatiable as he is, especially when youâve found yourself a steady pace, bouncing up and down, and his name pours out of your lips in such a beautiful manner. Though he canât just let you have all the control, can he?
âOhââ You yip, âFeels soâ Goodââ Still unsure of your thought, you explore the feeling, rolling your hips, feeling him stretch your wider, fill your insides and leave you full like youâve never felt before.Â
His hips meet yours half way, chasing your cunt every time you leave and pounding into you when you come back down, filling the room with guttural groans and the lewd sound of skin against skin.Â
You run your fingers under his shirt, feeling bare, warm skin, the softness of his flesh against your hands, the definition of his pecs and the way his nipples peek through the fabric. Wonwoo groans at the way your manicured nails scratch at his chest, gathering momentum as you bounce yourself on top of him.Â
He notices youâve started moving faster, practically fucking yourself stupid on his cock and he would tease you halfway through tomorrow if he didnât find himself in such a similar predicament. His pupils are blown wide, eyebrows furrowed across his brow, pretty lips hanging agape. Youâre so utterly perfect and you were all his.Â
âTell me how you feel, baby,â He whispers, slowing down for a second.Â
You sigh, nuzzling against his neck, âSo goodâ I canât even describe itââ Your words are so airy and mindless, youâve been consumed by the pleasure he gives you.
He catches the sight of the white rim that pools around his member, a mix of your juices, but itâs gone, sheathed inside you before he can admire it. Thereâs a poisoning thought that flashes in his mind, a fleeting, tempting picture. Of planting his seed in your womb, watching your grow full with child, his child. How absolutely breathtaking you would look, round cheeks and gorgeous smile, pretty fingers caressing your bump. And he would taint your taut stomach with his cum, watching it drip over your skin.
Wonwoo bites his lips so hard it breaks skin, throwing his head back, willing his mind somewhere else, anything else lest he come undone right then and there.Â
Stomach tingling with indescribable pleasure, you lean forward, moaning incessantly, unable to contain your ecstasy. He supports your body, wrapping strong arms around your torso, firm hands planted on your hips, taking over the moving so you can lay still and let the buzz consume your body with its electric touch.
Itâs a feeling youâve never felt before, and it crashes over your body in a colossal wave, building up from the pit of your stomach; sending tingles rushing through your boiling blood.Â
You raise your head, eyes meeting his and it seems he is familiar with this pleasure. His left hand meets your face, caressing your cheek, yet holding you still so he can gaze, he can watch you come undone around him.Â
Wonwoo watches, unblinking, how your eyebrows furry, your eyes are glossy with tears that cling to your pretty lashes, your lips sit in an enticing pout. Yet you part them, letting out increasingly louder cries of his name.Â
And you clench around him like there is no tomorrow, egging him on. He thrusts up into you, riding out your orgasm and chasing his over the edge.Â
He crashes his lips into yours, savouring your hazy kiss, your tired sighs and it doesnât take long before heâs spurting hot white strings into you, it trickles down him and stains the silk fabric of his boxers.Â
Soon, he stills all movement except for heavy breathing and the soothing circles he runs over your exposed back.Â
He kisses your hair. âHow do you feel?â
âGood,â You breathe out, âTired. But good.âÂ
His chest shakes with a soft chuckle, he runs slender fingers along your hairline, fixing any hairs that cling to sweaty skin. âMe too.âÂ
âIt felt amazing,â You smile, raising your head to face him. âIâve never felt anything like it.â
Wonwoo hums.Â
âIâm glad it was you, Nonu,â You hid your face against his neck in embarrassment at your own mushy words, but Wonwoo feels their extent, hiding the blush of his cheeks.Â
It doesnât take long before the post-orgasm haze lulls you into sleep.Â
And you slept like never before.Â
The following morning, Wonwoo wakes up to an empty bed. He panics for a second or two, scrambling to look for your belongings, only to find everything is still there.
Calm, he washes himself up and gets dressed to leave. Finally having a moment to digest the previous nightâs events.Â
He had made up his mind, he would confront his father. His future was his to decide on.Â
Looking for you, Wonwoo reaches the foyer, only to see you leaning against the wall, attached to the payphone. When your eyes meet his, you immediately say your goodbyes, ending the call.
âWho did you call?â Wonwoo crosses his strong arms against his chest and you try to ignore the sight of his muscly forearms peeking from the folded sleeves.
You donât like his tone. âSeokmin.â
He raises an eyebrow. âWhy did you call him?â
âI promised I would,â You shrug.Â
Wonwoo canât believe you would call Seokmin out of everyone, especially after you were glued to him last night at the party. âWhy him?â
âHeâs worried about you, you stupidâ Stupidââ You choke out on any mean names, simply stomping away from him.Â
Why was Wonwoo being so mean so early in the morning? You thought after the amazing night you spent together things would change between you. Â Stomping your way back to your room, you grumble under your breath.
While youâre folding your clothes, Wonwoo comes back.Â
âIâll talk to my father,â He announces.Â
Before you can say anything about that, he continues. âWeâll get marriedâ You and I, I meanâ â He clears his throat, âWill you marry me?â
Like a deer in headlights, youâre frozen, staring at him big-eyed with a dopey smile on your lips.Â
âYouâll marry me?â You question, just in case youâve tricked yourself into hearing the words youâve wanted most.Â
âYes. And Iâ Iâll take full responsibilityââ
You smile crashes into the ground. âYou want to marry me out of⊠Responsibility?!â The words choke you on their way out.Â
Wonwoo furrows his eyebrows, not understanding why you would be upset. âDo you not want to?â
âNo, I donât want to fucking marry you!â Not like that.
His face falls and he assumes a much scarier look on his face. âWhat would you rather marry Seokmin, then?â
And in your fury, you blurt out âYes! Yes, I would rather marry him!â
You realise your rejection hurt him, you do. But youâre so blindsided by your anger you canât bring yourself to care, not when he sees you as a responsibility.Â
Wonwoo is suddenly not so angry, but indifferent. You watch his expression go away, replaced by one much scarier, in your opinion; nothing. A plain poker face.Â
âGather your things and go to the car.â
Itâs all he says before he leaves the room.Â
The ride back is the most nerve-racking hours youâve ever experienced. Wonwoo is silent, even you huff and puff under your breath, angrily chewing on your breakfast of vending machine snacks.Â
Though he says one phrase as you reach the city. âLeave me here.âÂ
And thatâs the last you saw of him for over a month.Â
Your previous anger dries up, turning into sadness. Then youâre furious. And heartbroken until youâve accepted your reality. Youâve ruined your friendship and lost the love of your life.
It takes your sister plucking you out of bed for you to finally leave your bedroom in weeks.Â
She was the first and only person youâve told about the night spent with Wonwoo. Your parents were absolutely furious that youâd do something so dangerous, though relieved at your safety, they werenât easy on their words.Â
âHeâs not doing well, you know,â You sister says.Â
You humph.Â
âIâm serious. Daddy said heâs clumsy, keeps messing up his work. I think you should go and see him.â
Closing your eyes, you let out a worrisome sigh. You still cared way too much to hear those news and not do something about it.Â
So you dress up in whatever you can find and drive to his shop, building up a speech on your way there and practising every scenario. You just hoped everything could go back to the way it was.Â
Heâs working on an old model, hunched over the hood in his light blue coveralls, stains of grease from head to toe.Â
âKnock knock,â You announced your presence, fidgeting with the hem of your dress, looking forward to meeting his eyes as much as you dread to.Â
Wonwoo immediately recognises your voice, turning around to meet your eyes.Â
And he looks just as wrecked as you felt. Deep-set eye bags and a tired gaze. Yet he still smiles just as handsomely.Â
âHey,â He greets.Â
âBusy?â
âNo! No,â Wonwoo scrambles, placing the wrench down removing his gloves.Â
âCan we talk?â
âYeah, I actuallyâ I wanted to talk to you, too.â
Itâs somewhat relieving as well at itâs worrying to hear him say that, it could be an apology as well as an insult or something of the sort.Â
âWe shouldâ We should go to my office, someone might come inââ
âYeahâ We should.â You nod.
You walk into his office, one youâve visited and killed time in quite often. But coming here after everything feels so crushing, all this distance between you.Â
âGo aheadââ
âYou firstââ
You both say at the same time and that seems to ease the stubborn awkwardness pooling in the air. You laugh.Â
âHow about we say it together?âÂ
âOn 3?â
â1â
â2â
â3â
Breathing in, you say the words that come to your mind from the bottom of your heart.Â
âI want to marry you.â
âI love you.â
âWhat?!âÂ
âWhat?!â Once again, you both say it at the same time.
âYou want to marry me?â He breaks into a wide smile.
âAnd you love me?â The words feel so alien to you, you can barely believe your ears, you feel the tips of your fingers shake in excitement, your heart pounds so strongly against your rib cage you can almost hear the thumping.
Jeon Wonwoo just said he loves you.
âIâ Are you sure you want to marry me? You said you didnât want to!â
âYes. Wellâ Iâve loved you since forever! So when you said you wanted to marry me just out of responsibilityâ I was heartbroken! Itâs like you were forced into doing it!â
âI didnât want to marry you out of responsibility! Iâve been planning to marry you since the beginningââ
You choke, âYou what?!â
Wonwoo sighs, âI never wanted to marry your sister and she was well aware of that⊠We were blessed that she found her husband and when everything went well, I thoughtâ I hoped that itâd mean weâd be the ones to be wed.â
Processing every word, you almost feel dizzy. âBut you said youâd take responsibility!âÂ
âFor roping you into running away from my party.âÂ
âOh.â Youâre beyond embarrassed for assuming and above all, for getting so angry you didnât even let him explain himself.Â
âI shouldâve been clearer,â He admits.
âNoâ I shouldâve talked to you.â
Wonwoo smiles. âThank you.â
With tiny tears threatening to fall, you can only confirm what you want to know the most.Â
âYou love me?â
âAlways,â He smiles.
Wonwoo seems to remember something, he raises his finger in a âwaitâ motion and leans over his desk, reaching for the top drawer. Itâs only when you catch a peek of the velvet box that you almost keel over.
Gulping, he gathers his courage.
In his grease-stained coveralls that smells of expensive cologne and lavender cleaning supplies, Jeon Wonwoo gets down on one knee, nervously looking up at your with his stupidly gorgeous beady eyes and an expectant smile.
âWill you marry me?â
And in your least presentable dress, the one heâd ruined with grease stains and an unruly hairdo, you respond with the biggest smile:
âYes. Yes, Iâll marry you.â
Had you been questioned, there would be an answer to just how long you will love Jeon Wonwoo.
Youâll love him forever.Â

"Different"
Malleus Draconia x GN! Reader
Summary: Ramshackle's perfect seems to catch Malleus's eye but he can't seem to place his finger on why exactly they're so special.
Cw- reader is yuu, Malleus is obvious to his own feelings,Fluff , oneshot
Word count: 984
A/N: again my reqs and asks are open so if you enjoy my work don't be afraid to flood my inbox (I need the ideasăŸâ (â *â ââ ïŒŻâ ââ *â )â /)
Malleus really couldn't understand what about you drew him in. He just couldn't think of a logical answer for why you'd occupy his thoughts even if you weren't even there. Or why he got so eager whenever it was time for the class you two shared.
You were different. You didn't try to avoid him like the plague. You never went out of your way to be overly formal with him. You were well. You.
You acted like he was just any other student, not caring of his title and reputation. You'd actually go out of your way to talk to him.
You never wanted anything out of him, just his time, nothing more. It made him happy. That you would be the one to seek him out. The dragon felt like you were a real friend.
Yet that still wasn't enough for the fae. Malleus still didn't understand why you were just so special enough for him to react to you so differently from everyone else.
He didn't know why his face would burn whenever you'd comment on his magic, or when you'd compliment him on the smallest of things.
He tried to chalk it up to him being happy that you actually liked those things and not just saying it to butter him up but that couldn't be the case.
Because soon he started seeking out your praise as well as wanting to impress you. Doing things extra whenever you were watching just for the chance you'd notice(and admittedly compliment him).
Malleus also couldn't understand why his heart would beat so incredibly fast when you'd smile. Whenever you'd smile it was like a ray of sunshine he could bathe in.
He absolutely loved it. He just couldn't understand why. Wh-
"Mal?" You spoke, looking up at the taller figure. You looked concerned before smiling at his startled expression.
"You were so out of it" You couldn't help but giggle. Your laugh was like heavenly music to his ears. The housewarden cleared his throat
"Sorry about that dear [Name], I was just... thinking" The raven hair finally responded. He tried to calm the way his heart raced when you called out to him.
âAre you sure you're good ? you're all red in the face, I hope you're not sick or anythingâ you said now a bit concerned. It was just like you to pick up on the blush that was now spreading across his face and ears like a wildfire.
Your eyes narrowed playfully, your grin widening. âSo what were you thinking about then, you were so out of it you didn't even comment on my story on how cute grim was actually earlier!â
"I... Iâm fine," Malleus finally managed, though his voice came out softer than he intended. Clearing his throat once again, he tried to regain some semblance of composure, though his heart pounded furiously against his chest like crazy.
He opened his mouth to answer, but his mind betrayed him. He wasnât thinking about anything in particularâjust you. The way your smile lit up your entire face, the way you spoke to him like he wasnât someone to be feared or avoided but just... Malleus. Any other student.
"Reflecting," he said at last, though the word felt hollow compared to the complete truth. "On various matters.
You didnât seem convinced, and the way your lips curled into a knowing smirk made his pulse quicken.
You placed your hands on your hips. âOh reallyâ you quizzed dramatically raising an eyebrow.
"I-I assure you, [Name], I was merely lost in thought nothing more" he stammered, trying so hard to seem unbothered . But his voice faltered, betraying his calm facade.
"Lost in thought, huh?" you mused, leaning forward a bit, your gaze softening slightly at how flustered Malleus had become.
"Iâm sure thereâs more to it than that. You always seem so... distracted whenever I talk to you. Itâs honestly really cute."
"C-Cute?" he echoed, his voice barely above a whisper. "I donât... think I would describe myself as such."
The compliment struck him harder than he liked to admit. His face flushed an even deeper shade of red, and he hastily looked away, it was hard to try and stop the smile tugging at his lips.
It was quite the sight to see.
"Well you don't have to think so," you replied with a wink, your teasing tone shifting into something more genuine ."But â you continued, moving out of the raven hairâs space a bit.
âI do think it suits you, Mal."
Malleusâ heart thudded loudly in his chest as your words hit him like a truck. He loved any form of praise from you but for the fae this was too much.
His mind was reeling, the words spinning in his head as they tried to make sense of the feelings coursing through him. You thought he was cute. You thought he, Malleus Draconiaâwas cute. It was something he had never considered before, and yet here you were, saying it so casually, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
âWell ..thank you child of manâ The housewarden mumbled just enough for you to hear. You smiled and nodded at him.
He really couldn't understand why he felt this way about you. What made this human so special? He couldn't understand, perhaps he'd maybe end up asking Lilia about it.
âWell I should head back to my dorm before Grim manages to rip it to shredsâŠmore than it already isâ You chuckled at your own comment.
âYes it is getting rather late into the afternoon⊠I suppose this is goodbye for now â He spoke. It always pained him when you eventually had to part ways.
âGood night Mal!â You waved him goodbye before walking off Into the direction of ramshackle dorm.
âGoodnightâŠâ
Malleus didn't understand his feelings. But he did understand one thing. He didn't want the feeling to ever go away.

BUUUG oh my god i also watched wicked last weekend and i literally have not moved on đ i havenât listened to ANYTHING else aside from the soundtrack and it got me thinking.............theater girlie reader performing iâm not that girl and absolutely nailing the song because sheâs actually pining over eddie đ„Č (i also relate to the song because jonathan bailey isnât in love with me lmao)
Did somebody say...Wicked and pining? I'm in.
Warnings: idiots in love, dual POV, light angst, mutual pining, happily ever after, I don't know what year this takes place in because Wicked opened in 2003 but there's nothing indicating modern!Eddie
WC: 3.5k
Divider credit to @strangergraphics
It wasnât love at first sight for Eddie. It was love at first sound.Â
He was cleaning up after Hellfire on a rainy Friday afternoon, determined to race home and check the sofa cushions for change so he could order a pizza. If all else failed, he could always dip into his primary income source, kept locked tight in his lunchbox.Â
Hellfire Club continued to be the best part of his week, as it had been since heâd joined six years ago as a gawky freshman, but there was something comforting about the stillness after everyone else had left. Sometimes Eddie didnât get that privilegeâespecially when he was tasked with giving Henderson a ride home. The kid wouldnât shut up if his life depended on it. But today, he reveled in the peace while he placed the game pieces back in their box.Â
He barely registered the small commotion in the adjoining auditorium as you took the stage and began your vocal warmups. You couldnât take any chances of straining your voice; not when your years of hard work and dedication to the Drama Club finally paid off.Â
You trilled to the top of your register before taking it back down, repeating it over and over until you felt ready to practice. Ready to become Elphaba Thropp.Â
You were wholly unaware that Eddie Munson stood just on the other side of the wall, whistling a Black Sabbath song under his breath. Maybe that was good, considering your ridiculous crush on him. Like heâd ever notice youâa theatre nerd who never stepped out of line. You certainly werenât one of the cheerleaders he constantly tried to impress.Â
There was no mistaking the way he blushed and stammered around Chrissy Cunningham, playing with a few strands of his curls as he shamelessly flirted with her. You could deny that the sight of it all turned your stomach, but everyone and their mother would know it was a lie.Â
A relationshipâeven a friendshipâbetween you and Eddie would never manifest naturally. You didnât have many classes together, and it wasnât like he showed up to them anyway. Rumor had it that he and Chrissy only started talking because she bought weed from him, but the idea of meeting up with him in the woods, alone, overwhelmed you. And Eddie Munson definitely didnât frequent the school plays.Â
You thought about this now, the way you would never measure up to the girls he wanted to be with. Closing your eyes, you inhaled deeply and let the emotions course through you.Â
Frustrationâtowards yourself for harboring a crush on someone so unattainable.Â
Envyâof Chrissy Cunningham, who happened to be playing Galinda, and the other cheerleaders who didnât even have to try to get his attention.Â
Dejectionâbecause though Eddie had never outright rejected you, each day that you continued slipping under his radar twisted your heart more.Â
You took it all and put it into the song.Â
Hands touch, eyes meet Sudden silence, sudden heat Hearts leap in a giddy whirl He could be that boy But Iâm not that girlÂ
Eddie was deciding whether to splurge for the meat-lovers pizza or stick with just pepperoni when he heard the voice of an angel coming from next door.Â
Donât dream too far Donât lose sight of who you are Donât remember that rush of joy He could be that boy Iâm not that girl
His ears pricked up. Who was that? Heâd been at this school for six years, and he thought he knew everybody.Â
He rushed over to the adjacent wall, body moving faster than his brain. One sneakered foot caught on the leg of his Dungeon Master throne, sending him tumbling to the ground. In a moment of desperation, Eddie grabbed for the closest object in his vicinityâa mannequin, clad in a Captain Hook costume from last semesterâs production of Peter Pan. It came tumbling down along with him, both hitting the ground with an unmistakable thump.Â
The voice stopped singing mid-verse.Â
âShit,â Eddie grumbled, picking himself up and brushing the dust off of his ripped jeans. He waited for a moment, then another, in hopes that the song would resume.Â
But there was only silence. Once cherished, but now a punishment for his own clumsiness.Â
I should go over and apologize. He dismissed the idea almost as soon as it came. ExceptâŠwhat if it was just a coincidence? What if she didnât hear any of that? Iâll look like a total moron.Â
Instead, Eddie continued cleaning up, hoping the pink flush staining his cheeks would fade by the time he left school.Â
Every so often we long to steal To the land ofâ
A crash cut you off, your gaze flicking from the pretend audience to the stage door. Who was sticking around school on a Friday afternoon?
I should make sure theyâre okay.Â
You started towards the door, stopping in your tracks when a sinking thought washed over you. What if the person had made noise purposely so Iâd stop singing? What if I check on them and they tell me that I suck? Iâll look pathetic.Â
Fighting back a cringe at the notion of being humiliated, you scooped up your backpack and hurried out of the auditorium.Â
Practice would have to wait until Monday.Â
Eddie tried to hide his newfound fascination with the mystery girl who sang her way into his heart. Week after week, he insisted on cleaning up after Hellfire alone on the off chance heâd hear her rehearsing.Â
But after that first time, there was nothing. Not a single note. Sure, other people used the auditorium to practice, but none of them were her.Â
It was a rainy Friday when she finally returned. The weatherâtorrential storms all dayâmeant that Dustin would not be walking home. He begged Eddie to drive him, insisting that if his mom picked him up, she would thoroughly humiliate him.Â
Having met Claudia Henderson on multiple occasions, Eddie could attest to that statementâs truthfulness.Â
And while having Dustin around to clean up after Hellfire wasnât a bad thing, he filled the room with incessant chatter and expected Eddie to respond.Â
Eddie, however, was in a world of his own, losing himself in the somber lyrics and trying to tune out whatever the freshman was blathering on about.Â
Every so often we long to steal To the land of what-might-have-beenÂ
âAnd then her dad took away her computer! All because she helped me change one measly grade!â
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel When reality sets back in
âI mean, itâs completely unfair. Her siblings are batshit crazy and he canât be bothered to care. But Suzie lies, probably for the first time in her lifeââ
âHenderson, can you just shut up for two seconds?!â Eddie hissed through clenched teeth, his nostrils flaring. His gaze softened slightly when he saw the shock and hurt on his friendâs face. âSorry, man, Iâm justâŠâ
âChrist,â Dustin scoffed, regaining his composure. âWhatâs got your panties in a twist?â
Eddie cinched the dice drawstring bag closed, not making eye contact with Dustin. âNothing. Just tired. Long week,â he added lamely.Â
Blithe smile, lithe limb She who's winsome, she wins him Gold hair with a gentle curl That's the girl he chose And Heaven knows I'm not that girl
Dustin noticed the way a smile tugged at the corners of Eddieâs scowl. A knowing grin spread across his face.Â
âWhy, Mr. Eddie. Look at you,â he said, donning a posh accent. âYouâre lovesick.â
âW-What?â Eddie sputtered.Â
Dustin rolled his eyes. âItâs a play on a quote from Wicked.â When the older boy kept his nose wrinkled in confusion, he continued with a huff. âWicked. Thatâs the show the Drama Club is doing. Thatâs where the song is from.â
âOh.â Eddie shook his head. âYeah, itâs a, uh, a nice song.â
He fidgeted with his rings, spinning the skull around his finger until perspiration built up beneath the band.Â
âMaybe we should see the show.â Dustin hoisted himself up onto the table, letting his legs dangle. âYâknow, actually watch your lady love on stage rather than secretly creep on her.â
âFirst of all,â Eddie pointed a finger at him, âshe is not my âlady love.â I donât even know who she is. For all I know, itâs Jason Carver with a killer falsetto.â
The notion, while ridiculous, was the only way he could stifle the butterflies fluttering in his stomach at the term âlady love.â
âA possibility. Or,â Dustin countered, âsheâs the love of your life, waiting just beyond this pesky wall for you to sweep her off of her talented feet.â
To his credit, Eddie considered the idea for a full second before shaking his head. Metalhead, music snob Eddie Munson watching the school musical? If anyone saw him there, heâd never live it down.Â
Dustin, however, was relentless. The boy had a litany of tricks up his Weird Al shirtsleeve.Â
âWell, Iâm gonna go. My friend Robin is in the band. I wonder who else will be there?â He tapped his finger against his chin, feigning ponderance. âOh, thatâs right! Steve Harrington. You remember Steve, right? Great hair, great with the ladiesâŠmaybe heâll even talk to your âfriend.ââ
Eddieâs blood boiled in his veins. Harrington showing up and being your knight in shining armor, parading around town with you on his armâ
âFine. Iâll go.â Eddie grabbed his backpack and slung it over his shoulder. âBut you keep that jockstrap with a toupee away from her, got it?â
âAlright, alright. Jeez.â Dustin put his hands up in surrender. âNo need to be so testy, Nessarose.â
Eddie wasnât sure what that meant, but he had a feeling he was about to find out.Â
Opening night.Â
You didnât allow yourself to peek out behind the stage curtain for fear of someone seeing you in your green makeup, but if the loud chatter emanating from the audience was any indication, it seemed to be a full house.Â
Fred Benson came backstage a few moments later, wearing his stage manager headset and a huge grin. âWeâre sold out!â He waited for the cheering from your fellow cast-mates to die down before announcing: âPlaces in five.â
Five minutes. Five measly minutes until you became Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West.Â
And if that wasnât enough to send nerves spiraling through you, the next sentence you overheard certainly did:
âEddie Munson is here?!â
No. No, no, no.
âAre you serious? I thought he only listened to shit that makes your ears bleed.â
Whatever stage fright youâd already been battling paled in comparison to what you currently felt. Eddie Munson, the man who unknowingly served as your muse for unrequited love, was sitting in the audience.
When Chrissy Cunningham laughed behind you, it all became clear. He was here for her. He wanted to watch her flit across the stage, tossing her blonde hair and waving a magic wand.Â
Well, at least youâd barely have to act when Galinda got the man Elphaba pined after.
Eddie sat straight up in his seat when the lights dimmed, clutching the bouquet of roses close to his lap. He didnât want to risk putting them on the floor and stepping on them, so he did his best to hold them in place without constantly crinkling the cellophane.
They werenât anything specialâheâd gotten them from the refrigerated display case at Bradleyâs Big Buyâbut he hoped they were enough.
Chrissy came onstage first, wearing a poofy baby blue ball gown and a sparkling tiara. Eddieâs stomach flipped. Was Chrissy the girl heâd heard singing? No, she couldnât have been. Her voice sounded nothing like the mystery girl. Chrissyâs voice was light and airy, like a princess. The other voice had a slight heaviness to it, like it held some pain.
SoâŠnot Chrissy. Good to know, but that still left him with more questions than answers.
He clapped when the audience clapped, pretending to focus on the plot while actually scouring the stage for clues. Maybe she was one of the chorus members; that would definitely make it more difficult to pick her outâŠ
Resignedly, he sat back, summoning every ounce of music training heâd acquired over the years to pick out the sound of her voice among the crowd.Â
Nothing.Â
âThis is bullââ he started to grumble to Dustin, but then his gaze fell upon someoneâŠgreen. Even covered head-to-toe in pure stage makeup, her beauty shone through.Â
Eddie just sat there, fully entranced. He didnât want to allow himself to believe that this was the girlâbecause if she wasnât the one heâd been obsessing over, then he was totally screwed.Â
Please, he silently prayed, please let this be her.Â
Please, you silently prayed, donât let Eddie be here.Â
Though you willed yourself to keep your eyes on that dark spot in the back of the auditorium, you couldnât help but scan the audience for him.Â
And there he was, sitting between Steve Harrington and one of the freshmen who followed him around the school like a little sheep. He had a dopey grin on his face and roses in his lap.Â
Roses, you realized, that heâd present to Chrissy as he held her and congratulated her on an incredible performanceâ
Focus. You shedded your own skin at the stage door and took on Elphabaâs green hue, and you needed to act like her, not you. And her first song was upbeat and hopeful. Heartbrokenness would have to wait.Â
She sang. After what seemed like endless dialogue between her and the teacherâMs. Horrible? He couldnât remember, nor did he particularly careâshe sang.Â
And from that first note, Eddie knew.Â
Itâs her.Â
He almost didnât want to believe it. He wouldnât allow himself to believe it, because how could someone be so beautiful and talented? No, this must be someone who sounded similar, but the girl who sang that melancholy song would be someone else. Someone he didnât feel wholly inadequate when he approached her.Â
âShh!â Someone hissed behind him. Only then did he realize that he was flexing his hand around the rose stems, the cellophane crackling under his tight grasp.Â
Eddie muttered an apology, never taking his eyes off of the stage. God, she was breathtaking. He could practically hear her calling his name:
EddieâŠEddieâŠ
âEddie!â Steveâs annoyed voice snapped Eddie out of his stupor. âMove your foot, man!â
Eddie looked down to see that he was sitting at the edge of his seat, legs spread far enough to nudge Steveâs sneaker with his own. He quickly composed himself, hoping the dark auditorium masked his pink cheeks.Â
âWhat the hell is his deal?â Steve whispered to Dustin.Â
The younger boy shrugged. âPretty sure heâs in love with the girl who plays the witch. He just doesnât know it yet.â
Eddie barely heard the exchange, too wrapped up in the way the notes seem to float from Elphabaâs lips, ethereal in nature. Normally when he listened to showtunesâwhich wasnât very often, but his uncle was partial to his Annie Get Your Gun recordâhe would pass the time thinking about how he could rearrange the song to fit a more metal vibe.Â
But for the first time in a long time, metal is the last thing on his mind. He wants to know more of Elphabaâs story, how she went from a shy college student to one of the most well-known villains in cinematic history. The rest of the world had gone quiet, like a background noise he easily ignored.Â
The few scenes without Elphaba were torturous enough, but Eddie soon realized that there was something even worse than that. Someone, actually.Â
Fiyero Tigelaar.Â
He watched the man in a makeshift Shiz University clutching the stuffed lion toy, already sensing some sort of romantic tension between him and Elphaba. There was no denying the way Eddieâs body tensed when a green hand rested on the manâs cheek, so loving and tender.
As if sensing his friendâs inner turmoil, Dustin turned slightly and whispered, âdonât worry. Rumor has it that heâs more into Boq, if you catch my drift.â
That information allowed Eddie to relax a little, but only for a moment before Elphaba began singing again.
Hands touch, eyes meet Sudden silence, sudden heat
âThatâs the song,â Dustin announced to Steve.
Steve nodded, offering a smirk. âSo that must be the girl.â
Body wrought with emotion, you could only hope you could stave off the tears until you got offstage. It would be almost impossible to cry and remain on-key, especially given just how low youânot Elphabaâtruly felt.
Blithe smile, lithe limb She who's winsome, she wins him Gold hair with a gentle curl That's the girl he chose And Heaven knows I'm not that girl
You could get through this. It was no secret that you werenât Eddieâs type. The girl he chose would be Chrissy Cunningham or someone like her, not the dorky theatre girl who only came out of her shell while performing.
Don't wish, don't startÂ
Wishing only wounds the heart I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl There's a girl I know He loves her so I'm not that girl
No, you were definitely not that girl. That girl was backstage, touching up her makeup and probably giggling about the flowers sheâd receive from her metalhead crush.
The applause might have been thunderous; it might have been completely silent. You didnât know. All you could think about was getting off the stage before you got another glimpse of Eddie and the stupid bouquet he was giving to Chrissy.Â
The rest of the show was spectacular. Maybe you were a bit biased, considering you were the lead, but it couldnât have gone any better if youâd tried. Youâd even managed to stay in character, keeping your focus on your scene partners rather than the man in the audience who held your heart.
You couldnât wash off the green makeup fast enough, an arduous process that your castmates thankfully expedited with a plethora of baby wipes and makeup remover. Despite everyoneâs best efforts, your face and hands remained tinged with a green hue. You supposed youâd look like that for a few days after the show closed.Â
âExcuse me?â
You turned around, still in costume, to see Eddie Munson now standing before you. The two of you were alone, the rest of the cast having cleaned up before you did.
âI think Chrissyâs with her friends,â you blurted out.Â
âOh. Cool.â Confusion creased his brows for a second before he continued. âYou did, um, an amazing job tonight. Seriously, I was justâŠwow. I never knew being anti-establishment could sound so beautiful.â
You smiled, fiddling with a stray black thread on your dress. âThanks. Elphaba really is a badass.â
âYeah.â Eddieâs eyes flicked over your face. He noticed you looking at the flowers in his arms. âOh, shitâthese are for you. I hope you like them and youâre not, like, allergic or anything.â He shoved his hands in his pants pockets. âMaybe I shouldâve gotten poppies instead, since, yâknowâŠthat was Elphabaâs thing.â
âI love them!â Too enthusiastic. Well, at least you didnât say you loved him. âYou didnât have to get me anything, though. Iâm just glad you liked the show.â Timidly, you admitted, âIâm kind of surprised to see you at the school musical, honestly.â
He scratched at the back of his neck. âCan I level with you for a sec?â When you nodded, he sighed. âI didnât even know the school was doing a musical. Iâm only here because I heard you practicing from the Hellfire room, and my friend told me about the show.â
You froze. Did you hear him correctly? Eddie was here because of you? Because he wanted to meet you?
âI wasnât expecting you to be so green,â he added with a nervous laugh.
You quirked up an eyebrow. âYou werenât expecting the Wicked Witch of the West to be green? Please tell me youâve seen The Wizard of Oz.â
âOf course I have! Itâs a classic. I just didnât know what Wicked was about.â He raked a hand through his curls. âAnyway, if youâre not busy tonight, I was hoping you might want to hang out? Maybe go to Bennyâs and split some cheese fries?â
Your heart skipped a beat. âY-Yeah! I love fries. And cheese.â You cleared your throat, trying to ward off the embarrassment. âLet me just get out of this costume and Iâll meet you in the lobby.â
âCool. Iâll go tell my friends to fuck off or whatever.â Eddie smiled, shaking his hair out of his beautiful brown eyes. He started towards the door before half-turning to add,
âAnd, by the way, you look beautiful even when youâre green.â

Ok but manipulative obsessive ballet teacher larissa keeping her star student after hours so they can focus on her technique in more ways than one
AND YOU JUST KNOW SHEâLL HAVE HER HANDS ON HER STUDENT AT ALL TIMES
Itâs to help your form she says, definitely not just to see how flustered you can get
Private lessons
Ballet teacher!Larissa x ballerina!reader
A/n: is this becoming a thing? I think itâs becoming a thing. Iâm kinda obsessed, could be a little AU for us?đ also Iâd like to note that while Iâm not gonna specify age in hopes of inclusivity, reader is around their mid 20âs.
HAH I wrote that back when I thought I was gonna have the ideas and motivation keep writing. Anyways, this is my last draft. Hope you enjoy!!
Warning: unhealthy teacher/student relationship, touching, sexual undertones, little bit of mean Larissa
_______________________________
âI will say this once and only once. At this level none of you should not need me walking you through every little step like the girls from baby ballet!â Larissa spoke loud enough to fill the room, before signaling the pianist to begin playing.
Everyone ran to form a line across the back of the room, you ending up fifth in line for the exercise. Perfect spot. Only four in front to watch, and be done quickly.
âHowever youâd like to start, give me four pique turns to the center, four changing fouettĂ©s, pas de bourree and close with a triple.â
One by one each student went. Some being sent back to start from the beginning if they messed up, some going without comment, very rarely did she praise anyone.
Your turn came, you started in a simple fifth position, spotting towards the diagonal which just so happened to be exactly where Larissa was standing. You had no trouble keeping your eyes on her.
âThank you!â She said in a very clearly annoyed tone. âFinally someone who knows how to spot correctly. The rest of you should learn a little from this starting position. Go on, my dear. I apologize for interrupting your start.â You gave a short nod and began your sequence. Everything was going perfectly until the final part, where you failed to complete the third turn, but saved it by landing on fifth.
You quickly got up and were about to scurry back to the beginning but Larissa spoke up. âNo need. You were perfect till the very end and at least saved it. Back of the line.â
You smiled, Larissa smiled back, giving you- a wink? Oh you must have been seeing things. She wouldnât. What an odd thing it would be for her to do. Regardless, you nodded, looking down as you walked past her only for her to stop you in your tracks and tilt your chin up with her pointer finger. âA ballerina walks proudly. She floats with a straight back and gentle steps. Chin up, my dear.â
Surely she could see the dark red blush covering your cheeks, she nodded you off to continue walking, a smile still on her lips.
When she turned to continue the class, her smile fell, and the strict teacher was back.
When everyone was done with diagonal, she called back to center. âThat will be all for today. Applaud yourself for the effort and I will see you all tomorrow.â She locked eyes with you as she spoke, before turning to talk to the pianist while everyone packed up and left.
âYou. Stay back, my dear.â A few girls looked back, but she was very clearly talking to you. Her direct tone made it seem like you were in trouble, making your heart race.
âO-okay. Should I keep my pointes on?â You spoke as you stopped in the middle of untying the ribbon. âYes, please do.â
âIs something wrong, maâam?â You asked softly as you noticed her staring, watching you. She shook her head with a smile. âNothing at all, darling. Youâre a great student, Iâd just like to give you a few pointers.â
By the time you finished tying your ribbons back on securely, and stood, walking over to her, everyone else was already gone, even the pianist. And Larissa had closed the door with the last one out.
âIâll start with how you failed that triple turn. It shouldnât be much of a difficult thing for someone of your levelâŠâ she mutters.
âYes, Iâm sorry. I donât know what happened.â You said, lowering your head.
Larissa stepped in front of you, so close you could practically feel her breathing as she once again tilted your chin up. âWhat did I say about ballerinas, sweetheart.â
You blushed at the closeness, this woman was beyond beautiful, and talented. Having her this up close felt like an honor. You felt so small next to her. âThey walk proudly.â You answered.
âGood girl. So you do listen.â She stepped back and you immediately missed her presence so close to yours. âFortunately for you, I do know what happened.â
She rounded you. âGet into fourth, give me a clean double.â You did as told, a clean double pirouette, finishing back in fourth position.
âGood. Now give me a triple, this time focus on what youâre feeling.â Again, you did as told and just like last time fell on the last turn.
âDo you see the problem?â âYes- I think so.â She nods. âTell me.â
âMy heel is on the floor by the time Iâm in the third turn.â She looked at you proudly for a moment. âVery good. Youâre dropping your heel. When you do a double itâs no issue because youâre still high on pointe. But youâre turning in demi at the third. No dancer of mine turns in demi at this level. Thatâs for the little girls. Tell me miss, are you a little girl?â
âI- well- no of course not.â She hummed, bringing a chair in front of the mirror, centered in the room. She pointed at you to move to the center as well as she sat down, crossing her gorgeously long legs.
Any dancer would die for those. Youâre sure she was the envy of the whole school back when she was just a student. âYouâre acting like it. You turn like it.â Her voice brought you back in the moment.
âAnyone can do a simple turn. Iâm sure the damn pianist could come do one for us. Anyone can do a double too. Any one of the juniors at this establishment could. Youâre failing, at this age and this level. I mean you can do it, but you donât do it well.â
âI can. I promise you I can. Iâve done it before!â You rushed to prove yourself to her. She was the last person on earth you wanted to disappoint.
âWell of course you have. You wouldnât be in this level if you couldnât pull off a simple triple turn. So what is it? Are you finding the easy way? Is this you being lazy, in my class, miss?â
You wanted to cry at just the idea of disappointing her.. and this was how she saw you? Some lazy brat in an advanced class while she was God herself to you? That wouldnât do.
âIâll help you, my girl. You dance beautifully, you move and project emotions the way no other can. But youâre falling at the basics. All the talent and emotion in the world wonât save you if you canât pull off a good turn. Try to think of any important role to dance which doesnât turn.â
âThereâs not many..â you said quietly. You wanted to bring your head down again, truly, you felt shameful. You could do it, both of you knew that. But you werenât, why is that? Larissa wondered.
âNot any, my dear.â She sighed, walking behind you. âI want you to try for four turns with me here. I will spin and support you. Just keep that heel up.â You nodded, getting into fourth, and doing a pliĂ© before starting your turns.
Larissaâs hands moved quickly around your waist, guiding you through every turn and stopping at the four count. âYouâre very capable. You can spot well, you could turn ten times with me here, I bet. But I trust you know that there wonât always be a pas de deux in every show or every dance. There wonât always be somebody to help you turn.â
âYes I know, maâam.â She smiled. âOf course you do. Youâre a smart girl, my dear.â
âYou trust that I wonât let you fall, yet youâre not trusting yourself.â She said, squeezing your hips lightly as she kept her hands in place. âYou have the strength to stay up, no doubt. Trusting yourself is just as important.â
âLetâs try to balance on pasĂ© for a few, hm? Get your body comfortable with staying up for a longer time.â She stepped back.
Her eyes were racking over your body. You could feel it, it only made your blush grow deeper. âSlowly. Take your foot from the ground up to your ankle first.â You moved as she spoke, she seemed to approve of that.
âUp your calf⊠and above your knee. Do not rest it, now hold.â You were perfectly still once she told you to hold position, settling all the shaking in an instant.
âYour breathing cannot interrupt you. I want it to look like youâre not even breathing. Keep that rib cage closed tightly and focus. Imagine there is a string going straight through the center of your body, pulling you up toward the ceiling.â
You breathed slowly, barely. Not even thinking about uttering a word at this moment. âTurning is much easier than balancing. You have more momentum to stay up, and as long as you donât move and exaggerated amount you can get away with not being perfectly in center with your body. Though you should be.â
You felt the warmth of her hands again. You could see her blurry in the mirror, trying to keep your face straight. You stared right into your own eyes.
Her hands were under your breasts for a moment, pressing down on your rib cage gently. âTightly closed. Very good, my darling.. very good.â She whispered.
Larissaâs hands caressed your thighs before reaching your knee, spreading your leg a little more open. âI should be able to see you in one line if I were to look at you from the side. Keep your knee aligned with your shoulder.â She spoke softly, having no need for loud words as she was practically pressed up against you.
Your balance shook as she adjusted you, but she didnât let you fall. Instead helping you find your balance once more before moving on. âYouâre focusing too much on me. Iâm not even here. Now rest.â
You sighed in relief as she gave that command, letting your pointe trail down your leg the same way it trailed up, until you reached fifth position and got off pointe, allowing yourself to rest.
âThat was very good.. I wouldâve been a little disappointed had you not done that. Half the girls would rush, out of sheer desperation but you.. you did that stunningly. A very good girl, you are.â
âThank you, maâam.. Iâll be honest, I do my best to impress youâŠâ Larissa quirked her brow. âIs that right.. Well, lovely girl, you do a good job at it. Letâs get those turns right and Iâll be even more impressed, proud, even.â Larissa hummed as she traced down your spine with her long fingers, and then reached your skirt.
Shamelessly, she began untying it, removing the garment from your body and throwing it next to her chair. âThat thing only makes seeing the things I need to see harder.â You nodded in agreement, feeling your skin heat up as she held your hips for a few moments much longer than necessary.
âWe will work on your left side another time. For now I want to focus on getting that left heel to stay up.â She stepped back, moving around you to be in front now. âGive me a triple pirouette.â
You took a deep breath in, breathing out slowly. You moved into fourth position, doing a deep plié before you started.
This time, you stayed up longer, but let your heel fall by the end. Larissa sighed. âAgain.â
It went on for some time. Each time you would get closer to doing it right, finally. âAgain.â
âLetâs try something. Think about doing four. Set your mind, weâre doing four turns, but remember youâre closing, cleanly, on the third.â You nodded, feeling anxious about how many tries this has already taken. No doubt you felt Larissa was tired of this.
With the thought cemented on your mind, you went for four. Just keep the heel up for four.
âOne.â
âTwo.â
âThree, close it!â You landed it right as she finished speaking, closing on a tight fifth position, your arms rounded and lowered around your bellybutton.
âAbsolutely perfect. You did perfect, my dear. That was the cleanest Iâve ever seen you turn.â
âWhyâd you count?â You said in a whiny tone and Larissa couldnât help but chuckle. âYou all hate it when I count. But it helped you, didnât it? Iâm just guiding you, my beautiful girl.â
You smiled, âyeah it did help..â
âCome, sweet girl.â With hurting legs you walked to her, standing in front of her with little idea of what exactly to do. But she grabbed your hand and pulled you towards herself, wrapping you in a soft hug.
It was certainly an odd thing to do, but her warmth was something you seeked.. and God, was being in her arms delightful.
She rubbed your sides gently, caressing over your soft leotard. âYou did very well, my star. I want to see this progress shown in the next class, yes?â You nodded, nuzzling yourself against her neck without even thinking about it. And breathing in.. she smelled expensive, a little woody but also floral. You wanted to bathe in whatever perfume it was she wore.
âVery good, my girl. Itâs time for you to get home.â You almost whined as you pulled away from her, and Larissa hushed you. âChange out of your pointes, and donât forget your skirt. I have to close up here soon.â
You nodded, going over to your bag and quickly changing into your street shoes and some shorts. âUm, thank you, maâam. For helping me and everything.â
âItâs a pleasure to help such a delightful student like you, always.â You blushed, waving a quick goodbye before practically skipping out of the room.
Larissa smiled as she saw it written clear across your face, she had you wrapped around her little finger. What a good girl you truly were.

Humans tolerate a much greater amount of ambiguity in their technology than the other sapients. Take their computers for example. They are a class above everyone else's. They're smaller, faster, less expensive and can do more.
But, they crash. A lot. Leave it to the Humans to just accept a machine that will stop working "every once in a while."
Human: "Oh shoot"
Alien: "What?"
Human: "My phone crashed. Gotta reboot it, one sec"
Alien: "Your computer...crashed?"
Human: "Yeah, stopped working. Something went wrong with the computer inside and it just doesn't work. Once I turn it off and turn it back on it'll be fine"
Alien: "But, the computers in your other stuff are more robust right? They don't...do that?"
Human: "Hell yes they do. Let me tell you about the time I had to reboot my coffee maker so it would work again!"
Alien: "..."
Human: "Oh yeah, once the computer in my car crashed. Wouldn't display anything at all. That was a hairy ride!"
Alien: *unconsciously takes a step back*
Human: "Also! So when the first humans went to our moon, the onboard computer kept crashing. They had to land manually because the computer - when it worked - was trying to land them on jagged rocks! They all nearly died!"
Alien: "You do realize the other races' computers don't do that, right?"
Human: "But ours are faster"

002. OH GOD, HEâS SO ANNOYING..
"no, but you don't understand! This boy really annoys me, he gets on my nerves all day long and the worst part of all is that it amuses him!" you finally said as you held your phone to your ear.
and as soon as you had said this sentence, your brother's laughter was heard on the other side, which simply managed to annoy you even more.
"Jay I'm not kidding!"
"It's not like I can really do much about it Y/n, I'm not in Japan with you" your brother ended up responding while he seemed busy doing something else entirely. "Just be patient and he'll end up lacing it up, guys are all like that so as soon as he gets tired of annoying you he'll go see another girl to do the same thing"
Laying down on your bed, a sigh left your lips as you listened to your brother's words while trying not to get angry in the worst way against your pillow. The more you heard your brother's words, the more you had the impression that nothing was going to work out with Niki over the next few days. But on the other hand he wasn't wrong, maybe he would end up getting tired of behaving like that with you and would therefore go somewhere else.
But at the same time with everything that had happened since you arrived at high school you weren't really sure. The first day only you had to be there at the wrong time, and bump into Niki's chest for him to see a certain hatred against you, simply because his uniform had ended up being stained by his coffee. And this, despite the number of excuses you had said to him, he in no way seemed to listen to you and had simply pushed you, making you fall to the ground before he left without no glance to see if you were okay. And just when you thought it was all over, everyone around you started laughing at the situation.
Then it came to the next day. And the day after that. And then so on until today.
Even thinking about it you never understood why Niki hated you so much, because the coffee spilled on her uniform was a total accident that you wouldn't have wanted if you knew it was going to happen.
"I don't think Niki will end up lacing up Jay... he's unbearable and he does everything to get on my nerves. Just yesterday he made fun of me on purpose in mathematics because I hadn't answered just to the professor's question and, right after, he managed to get a good answer."
"Y/n.. the school is full of idiots, so obviously Niki must be one of them if he behaves like that with you, but try to ignore him for the rest of the week okay? Then it's not as if you were all alone, Sunoo is with you and from what I understood there is also Haerin so don't be unhappy just because of a boy.."
A sigh left your lips as you listened to your big brother's words because deep down, well, he spent most of the time lecturing you to prove to you that you were dramatizing the events that were happening in your family a little too much. life and that, on the other hand, Niki's behavior was nothing.
"Besides by bewitching you will talk I have the impression of being back at the time when you were still at home complaining that Jake hadn't spoken to you all day while he was at home with Me.."
Hearing Jake's name, your cheeks quickly turned red from embarrassment.
"Jake and Niki are not the same people!" you ended up responding to defend yourself. "Niki is a complete idiot who thinks he's the bad boy at school and annoys me. Jake is adorable to me and much nicer and more attentive than Niki will be to me."
"You're just saying that because you had feelings for Jake."
"That's not even true!" You answered almost immediately, sitting up, your phone still against your ear and you weren't surprised to hear your brother's laugh.
"Oh stop... I know when my little sister is in love..." he replied, knowing perfectly well that he was right about what he said. "Especially if she's in love with my best friend... and you're not at all discreet, you know?"
"I hate you."
"I love you too, little sister."
But you didn't even give him time to finish his sentence before you hung up directly, showing your big brother that you didn't appreciate it when he made fun of you like that and your phone ended up landing on your mattress.
The screen lit up a few seconds later to display a message from your brother but you didn't bother to read it, getting up from your bed to sit at your desk, since even though classes were over , you had no other choice but to do all the homework you had during the day, even if deep down you didn't want to.
you had barely finished settling down on your desk when a sigh left your lips as you realized the number of notebooks on your desk, realizing then that unfortunately you were probably going to have to spend several hours sitting down having to work on all of this then that you didn't even want to.
deep down, you had never been one of those people who spent all night working or even studying for any reason, just because they were good at class, their parents put pressure on them or that it was simply their future that worried them and they wanted at all costs to have one of the best futures. But knowing that one of your classmates was bound to make fun or brag about having a better grade than you, you couldn't let yourself go and not work.
except that the more the days pass, the more you find your situation truly ridiculous. Niki did everything to drive you crazy and unfortunately the school aspect seemed to be her favorite part. whether it was just for simple homework that didn't count or for very big exams during the year and he knew perfectly well that, if he had even a single grade higher than you, you would be completely crazy. However Niki wasn't the type to work, it didn't fit with his behavior in any way so how could he get such good grades if he never worked?
Just trying to understand how, you realized that at no point had you started working, your pencil still in your hands while none of your homework had progressed. even when he wasn't with you he managed to drive you completely crazy and you couldn't stand it. did he use some sort of magic to even remotely annoy you when you weren't in high school.
The next day, when you had just crossed the high school premises, you couldn't really stay awake. Because of all that work you had last night you had slept very little and you weren't even surprised to find yourself sleeping on your math books, letting you understand that you had finally fallen asleep in the middle of a revision session.
Crossing the corridor, the noise present all around because of all the girls screaming even though it was only eight o'clock in the morning and you had slept poorly during the night, you had broken your ears and you had regret not having simply returned to your bed when you woke up again in the morning. And just with this thought a sigh left your lips as you really wanted to find yourself lying warm under your covers so you could sleep right away. Your eyes had closed at the mere thought of it, but upon opening them almost seconds later, you weren't particularly surprised to notice that unfortunately you weren't there but, instead, you had been forced to join your class in deepest discontent.
âOh my god, youâre making one of those faces..â Sunoo said as he put his bag down right next to you, coming back to his place next to you. âYou have huge dark circles, did you sleep last night?â
âPlease don't talk to me about sleeping Sunoo..â you moaned almost immediately upon hearing the words of your best friend, who at the same time seemed to be making fun of the way you were acting while the rest class was arriving and class was going to start soon. "I barely slept because I spent most of my time studying for classes and making sure my homework was finished perfectly."
âSo focused that you forgot to answer my calls for the presentation, right?â Sunoo asked, knowing full well that it wasn't your fault, but even with your tiredness you picked up on the annoyance in his voice.
"Oh no.. Sunoo I'm so sorry..! I was so focused on all this that I totally forgot.. then I had to call my brother and he just bothered me so that I explain to him how annoying Niki was.." you replied almost immediately, knowing that Sunoo didn't blame you, even if he would have preferred not to expose him alone.
âSo this is how weâre talking about me?â A voice came from behind you, and as soon as you heard you froze in place. âItâs cute to know that even though you say you hate me, you talk about me outside of school.â
despite your tiredness, hearing his voice made you aware of everything that was happening around you and almost immediately you turned towards him, seeing him sitting in the office right behind you while his legs were stretched out. 'to under your own chair. he once again had this air of self-confidence and too full of himself to realize that he was the stupidest person in the room. well... that was simply what you thought, seeing it that way.
âNiki she didnât ask you absolutely anything you know..â
âYou, the little blond, we didnât talk..â Niki replied without even bothering to look at Sunoo and he slowly stood up, his arms coming to rest on his desk while all his attention was on you. âSo like I said, are we talking about me? Itâs all interesting.â
"Interesting to hear me say that I'm complaining about your behavior towards me? Seriously, even my brother would be capable of hating you.." you replied almost immediately, not wanting to spend more time talking to him. âNow just leave me alone, I donât want to waste my time talking to you when the teacher will be here soon.â
Following your words, the silence in the room proved that the teacher had just entered, and after giving Niki one last look you returned to your chair, not wanting the day to be horrible in any way. simply because of him.
except that, bad luck for you, while the class had just started and you tried as best you could to concentrate on what your teacher was saying and pray not to fall asleep, Niki had decided that, the fact of Being behind you in class was going to be very useful in getting you worked up.
so it was only after ten minutes of class that you had received a blow to the bottom of your chair, and you had not taken the time to think to know that it was simply that idiot who was behind you who had nothing else to do than bang your foot on the bottom of your chair to get angry.
and, while he was having fun letting his foot knock against your chair, he noticed your head turn towards him and a smile appeared on his lips seeing the expression you had on your face. and you took it upon yourself not to create a scandal in the middle of the class, already because you were extremely tired, but also because you knew to what extent, no matter what you were going to say, nothing was going to be enough seriously to make your teacher react. but on the other hand, all the girls in your class would have started to hate you simply because you spoke badly about their favorite boy.
It was almost completely pathetic the way all his daughters were blind simply because Niki had a pretty face.. very fortunately you had never fallen under the influence of her beauty and you will never be under her influence because you hated him. and then you could never imagine that because it would totally make you want to throw up just from that.
unfortunately for you, Niki didn't seem to stop there since you felt your chair being pushed forward simply because Niki was still having fun hitting the back of your chair, knowing perfectly well that it irritated you . and that amused him. It was definitely one of the things he loved doing, getting on your nerves and annoying you until you finally broke down.
and today was definitely going to be one of his days because he didn't stop at hitting the back of the chair. oh no, far from it. since, as soon as you thought that he had realized what he was doing and that he had finished annoying you, you started to receive little balls of paper. Niki was really proud to know that he could annoy you by doing the simplest things, and he used any way to do it every time, which was truly horrible for you. especially today since you barely slept or at least slept very poorly.

~~~
It's been well into the new school year, you've been best friends with Cady for about a month now. Much to your girlfriends displeasure. They didn't like how close you and Cady have been getting, all your little inside jokes together, how you had more classes with her than them, everything. It was even starting to bother Karen, who was the least jealous type out of the three. But you remained oblivious to it all. You didn't notice how Cady stole glances at you whenever you weren't looking. How she seemed to be more clingy with you than everyone else. How she laughed at your jokes, even the bad ones. How she 'needed' your help with studying despite having been doing just fine before you. You didn't notice any of the little signs. But your girlfriends did. They've had enough.
It was sixth period study hall and you and Cady were spending it in the library, working on a science project together. Your project had been to make a poster board highlighting some part of space that wasn't as well known as others. The two of you had chosen the Tabby Star for your research assignment. Making notes about the facts as well as the theories, because there were a lot of interesting ones.
"Wouldn't it be crazy if the Tabby Star did actually have alien structures around it?" You said, reading one of the theories about why the brightest of the star changes.
"It would be kinda cool," Cady easily agreed, looking over your shoulder to read the shared computer. Cady was working on the hand written notes while you covered the research part. Every so often the two of you would switch roles to give the other a break in their task. Your project was going pretty smoothly and you were confident the two of you would land at least an A.
When the day was over, the two of you packed up your stuff. With Cady taking the project home; you trusted her more than yourself with it. Knowing it would probably get damaged at your place.
"Work on it again tomorrow in study hall?" You asked, she gave you a nod and smiled.
"Yes, totally! Maybe you could even come over for a bit tonight to work on it?" She took the leap, her heart racing as she asked.
"Oh, I can't tonight. I have a thing with my girlfriends." You did, so that wasn't a lie to get out of it. And you knew how your girlfriends would act if you blew them off for someone else.
"What about for just an hour?" Cady asked. You bit your lip in hesitation. An hour wouldn't be bad, right? You'd still have plenty of time for your girls.
"Okay, yeah. Just an hour." You weren't exactly good at saying no to people, especially not those you considered friends.
So you went to Cady's after school, the two of you working in her dining room. Laughing and making jokes as you worked on your project. You didn't notice the time fly, or the multitude of texts from the group chat with your girlfriends. Who were wondering where you were. Regina decided to take matters into her own hands and switch over to snapchat, looking at your location. Cady's house? The fuck were you doing there? She glanced at Gretchen and Karen.
"Come on, we're going to Cady's." Regina stated, heading out to her jeep. The two girls quickly followed. Regina drove pretty quickly, not wanting to waste time by following laws. Though she hardly follows speeding rules anyways. Which has landed her a few tickets.
When they got to Cady's, Regina walked right in and saw you laughing at one of Cady's jokes. Only to stop when you noticed Regina, eyes going a little wide.
"Regina- shit. What time is it?" You asked, glancing at the clock and realizing its been well over an hour.
Gretchen and Karen came up behind her, holding each other's hands.
Regina went to you and grabbed your hand, pulling you from your seat as you grabbed your phone from the table." Let's go, Cady can do the rest on her own. Right, Cady?" She faked a smile to her. Though internally she was pissed. You gave Cady an apologetic look as Regina practically dragged you to the jeep. When she got you in the passenger seat, she turned to look at you." What the hell, Y/N?"
"I know- I'm sorry, I totally meant to only be there an hour but we got focused on the project and I lost track of time." You explained, Regina's hand gripped the wheel.
"Ugh. You're not allowed to hang out with her anymore." Regina said, she tended to be controlling over things. Especially things like this.
"Huh?" You were confused.
"Are you that oblivious?" Regina glared at you," she has a crush on you!"
Gretchen and Karen stayed quiet, knowing Regina would probably get annoyed if they said anything right now. They share a glance with each other.
"What?" You blinked. You really hadn't noticed, but now that she said that it was kind of obvious. How were you that oblivious?
Regina sighed," she's literally obsessed with you. How can you not fucking see that?" Her hand hit the steering wheel, clearly more than frustrated with you.
"Okay- okay.." You flinched as you watched her hand and sighed, glancing at Gretchen and Karen for help. Gretchen just silently but subtly shook her head.
"Don't look at them, look at me." Regina grabbed your chin, turning your attention to her." Break off whatever friendship you have with Cady."
You frowned as you looked into the blonde's eyes, Regina wasn't going to leave the driveway until this was settled." Okay... but can I at least get this last project done with her?" You asked slowly, treading carefully.
"Fine. But you're ours tonight and Cady can go fuck herself." Regina huffed, you figured she was at least a little satisfied with your answer because she finally started up her jeep and left the driveway.
That was the last time you would ever go to Cady's house.

Tara Carpenter/Fem!Reader All of Us Are Dead AU
Warnings: death angst blood
WC: 8.9k
Author's Note: no one asked, but I did it anyway. Sorry for any mistakes. Hope you guys enjoy, it's kinda long :)
"Oh come on!"
"Ah ha, I thought you said it was easy?"
"Ugh get off me."
You laughed at your best friend as you got off him and helped him up. You were on the football team along with your best friends and some of your other friends. You were the quarterback and a pretty damn good one for the university. It was your first year playing and you had already made such a great start, you started off as a sub. But when the starting quarterback started getting cocky and just being a jackass during the second game of the season. He was benched. And then you were sent in and since then Frankie had been benched. And he was not happy about it.
"Damn you move fast. You sure you wanna stay as a quarterback cause you'd be great on the defensive line." Chad said as smoothed out his sore bottom.
"It only helps when the quarterback doesn't know what he's doing." You nudged him with a smile on your face. "Now come on. Practice is over and we have to get cleaned up before we're late for class."
*
You and Chad had made your own way to the cafeteria where all your friends were at to get breakfast.
"Hey did you hear about the professors kid. You know the science professor." Chad said fixing his tie on his uniform.
"Huh? Oh yea. Apparently he committed suicide. Poor kid." You have seen the kid in question around. How he mostly kept to him self. Never bothering anyone. But there was always a group of boys who tormented the kid. You and Chad tried to put a stop to it. But it never worked.
"Don't even think that this is your or our fault Y/n. I mean, we did what we could. There's only so much someone can do. At the end of the day the person being bullied has to stand up for themselves. Cause if they don't, they become the easy target." Chad patted your back bringing you into a side hug. He knew how much you cared about people. He knew you since you two were in diapers. You had always had the protective mama bear in you. He and all your friends had always teased you about it.
Both of you arrived in the cafeteria seeing your group of friends sitting at the table in the corner. Your frown turned into a smile as soon you saw the small brunette. Tara Carpenter. You had met Tara when you were in middle school and have been in love ever since.
"Come on. I'm hungry you can ogle at Tara from up close." He teased pushing your towards the line. Seeing as breakfast hour was almost over there was hardly anything good. You would usually grab a fruit cup, apple and a protein bar with some apple juice on the side. "Damn. There's no more pop tarts."
You grabbed the last protein bar before Chad could get it and laughed when he was stuck with a banana.
"Whatever come on."
Tara looked up from her work, seeing you walking towards her. Her face brighten, her hand reaching for you as you grew closer, your much larger hand covered hers. It was a feeling Tara loved. How warm your hands were. They were always so warm, even in the winter.
"Hey. I got you your fruit cup and an apple." She handed you the food as you sat down next to her. Her heart racing as you directed a smile towards her. She knew that smile. The smile reserved only for her. Her face warming when you leaned into her and lightly kissed her cheek.
"Thanks Tar."
"You're welcome." She leaned into your side, embracing your warmth.
"Hey did anyone hear that the girl from home room went missing." Amber spoke from across the table.
"Which one Amber. There's like-"
Tara tuned out the conversation. Her focus was on you. How you silently ate your food but yet still paid attention to everyone else. How your hand stayed in hers. Your thumb softly creasing the back of her hand. She's never felt this deep about someone. The deep affection for you was something that scared her. It terrified her so much but yet she loved the feeling.
She loved you.
*
You had been trying to focus for a while now. But three classes already had you feeling so sleepy. It was just one more class before the lunch hour began. In this class you didn't share it with any of your friends. So you were alone.
You heard rumors about the girl that went missing was found in the science professors lab. You heard that he had been arrested and was taken away by police. You didn't take his class but Tara and most of your friends did. You would have never expected it from a teacher like him.
Right when the bell rang you were out of your seat and headed to the cafeteria.
"Run!!"
Students ran passed you, leaving you confused on what they were running from.
"Y/n run!!" Wes grabbed your hand as he ran passed you. Your eyes widen in shook when you saw what he was running from. Zombies?! You ran after him only to be tackled by one of the zombies.
"Y/N!"
The zombie was one of your teammates, was on top of you. Trying to bite you. You held him by his neck doing your best to keep him away from you but his arms swung wildly hitting you in the face. You tried to use your legs but it was like he was dead weight on you. His teeth grew closer to your neck making you scream in desperation.
Then the weight was off you, you gasped in relief as Wes helped you up. "Come on!"
The two of you ran dodging students and zombies.
"Wait where are the others?!" You yelled. He looked back at you with a remorseful look. "Wesley where are the others."
"I don't know. I think they were in the cafeteria. I don't know. I didn't get a chance to get there before they attacked. Come on."
You had no choice but to follow him. Passing students that were being attacked. Rushing up the stairs only to get hit with what felt like a ton of bricks. Falling hard to the floor your vision going a little blurry. You felt yourself being picked up and lead into a classroom. The door shut behind you as you leaned on the wall. You touched you head and felt something wet. Pulling your hand down and seeing blood on your finger tips.
You barely had a chance to gather yourself when a shorter body slammed into you.
"Thank god you're okay. Everything happened so quickly. I tried to go find you but Chad wouldn't let me go. I was so scared something happened to you." Tara mumbled into your neck as her arms tighten around your waist. The moment that chaos started she along with her friend had been in cafeteria. If it weren't for Amber, she probably would have died when she had frozen in fear when she fell.
"It's okay Tara I'm fine. Chad did the right thing. It's too crazy out there. Let me see you." Cupping her cheeks in your palms you pulled her away enough where you could look down at her and make sure she was okay. You caught the moment she saw the cut on your temple. Her eyes widen as she reached up her hand taking a hold of your chin as she turned your head to the side.
"Come on. I think there's a first aid kit in the professors desk."
Sitting down on the professors chair she got to work on cleaning your cut up and covering it with a bandaid. As she was cleaning you up you saw a small bandage around her wrist that wasn't there in the morning. You took a hold of her hand to take a better look.
"What happened to your wrist?" You looked up at her, she had stood between your legs as she cleaned you up.
"The girl that went missing was in professor Smiths class. She had been attacked by him and had escaped this morning. And wondered in to professor Prescott's class. She seemed confused and erratic when we took her to the nurses office. She attacked the nurse and scratched me. But I'm okay." She reassured you hoping to ease your worries.
"Okay." You nodded trying to calm your racing heart. You could still hear the screaming coming from outside the classroom. You looked around the room seeing most of your friends. Chad, Mindy, Amber, Anika, Wes, Ethan, Quinn, and Liv. Also two other students, Jason and Greg.
"Sam?" You knew she had gone away with her archery team. They had a competition today but she had said that they'd be back by lunch. Her boyfriend Danny was with her, he was on the team as well.
"No. I haven't seen her. But she's Sam. I'm sure she's fine. Right? She's got to be." She started breathing heavily and you had to calm her down before she had an asthma attack. You always had an inhaler with you.
"Hey, Tara look at me. I'm sure she's okay. I mean your sister is a badass. Don't tell her I said that though, her ego is big enough." The shorter brunette let out a small laugh knowing it was very true. "She's okay. I promise you that."
"So what are we going to do? I mean we all saw the same thing right? Those were zombies. I mean they remind me of the zombies from the movie Train to Busan." Mindy said from standing next to the window that looked out to the track and field. Her girlfriend Anika was standing right next to her. Still shaking in fear.
"Zombies? Seriously Mindy. You watch way too many movies." Quinn moved towards the window to see the caos that was happening outside.
"She's not wrong. They act like zombies. I saw Richie get bit and he turned in like a few seconds." Wes said from his spot next to the door. He had pushed a small cabinet up against the door. Hoping to make sure that no one would get in.
"So what do we do. Wait for help to arrive? We don't know how long that'll take." Ethan stood up from sitting next to Wes. He walked up to you, giving you a once over. "Glad you're okay." He patted your shoulder. You offered him a small smile and nod. Ethan had also been a close friend of yours. Him, Chad, Wes and yourself were on the team and great friends.
"We could wait it out. It won't be long till the cops show up. I mean it's basically a riot on school grounds. Anyone have their phones? I left mine in my bag in the cafeteria." Anika asked as she searched for her phone only to come up empty handed.
"I dropped mine when I got tackled. Tar do you have your phone." You turned your attention to short brunette still standing between your legs. She dug in her pocket and took it out. You looked down at her phone to see a picture of you. You were in your football uniform except the helmet. You were smiling big in the picture holding a bouquet of flowers and a small teddy bear close to your chest. You remember that day clearly. You had won your first game that you played as the starting quarterback. Tara had bought the gifts knowing very well you were going to win. She had captured your cheesy smile that she loved so much and made it her locksceen.
You smiled up at her, she tried to hide her blush but smiled regardless. She dialed 911, bringing the phone up to her ear. You watched as she spoke to the dispatcher. The officer seemed not to believe her but never the less said they'd send officers to the school.
"I'm going to call Sam. Hopefully she answers." It was quiet, well as quiet as a zombie filled university could be. You stood up from the chair and let Tara sit in it. "Nothing. She's not answering." She bit her bottom lip, a nervous habit she had. Her hands playing with her phone. You took the phone from her hands putting it on the desk, then taking her hands in yours. Bringing her down on your lap.
"Hey, she'll be okay. She's with Danny and she's strong. She'll be alright." You spoke softly to her, gently squeezing her hands. "Look at me." When her eyes met yours, you smiled softly she returned the small smile. Eyes still filled with worry. "She'll be alright. I need you to focus on yourself right now. Okay? Take a deep breath for me baby." Even though you had her spare inhaler with you. You didn't want her to over work herself.
She followed your directions with no complaints. Once she had her breathing in check she looked down at you and leaned down. Softly kissing your lips. She didn't know what she'd do if she lost you.
*
"Well how crazy was it in the cafeteria?" You asked Chad. Tara, Liv Mindy, Anika, Amber and Quinn were sitting at the corner furthest away from the door. The door was blocked but to be on the safer side. Chad, Wes, Ethan and yourself stood by the window of the second floor building.
"Got too crazy way too fast. How the hell did this even happen? I mean, the girl that went missing was-" The group of teenagers were stoped at the sudden noise of the door being pushed open. The small cabinet moved from the force of the door opening. The girls scrambled to their feet at the sight of the P.E teacher who was also your coach breathing heavily as he closed the door. He looked frantically around the room eyes landing at the group of kids.
"Coach were you bit?" You asked as you took a step forward a hand shooting out and grabbing the back of your shirt. Wes stood behind you, holding your jacket, once he realized that you wouldn't get closer to the coach he let your jacket go.
"No I wasn't bit. Let's let's block the door. We need to secure it. Make sure they don't get in. Come on."
Everyone moved to block the door, as you moved to do what the coach said when a hand held your wrist. You turned back to see Tara. "What's wrong?" Asking as you turned to be directly in front of her.
"Look at his arm. There."
You turned back to look at the teacher. The sleeve of his jacket was rolled up. But there, you saw blood on his wrist. The teeth marks. You knew he'd be turning at any moment know.
"Coach your arm-What are you on about Y/ln come and help. Or I'll bench you and let Frankie back in." He spoke angrily but his eyes filled with fear and denial.
"Y/n what are you doing he said he wasn't bit." Jason said as he stopped his movements from barricading the door.
"He has a bite mark on his arm." You argued with your coach. You felt bad but he was putting your friends, Tara in danger. You knew it wouldn't be long once he turned. "You need to leave."
He scoffed, "You want me to go out there? After all I did to get here."
"Get out, right now. You were bitten and it's putting all of us in danger." Tara fired back, your arm reaching for her and pushing her behind you.
"Listen here you fucking-" He gasped at the feeling of blood coming out of his nose. The coach looked at you as he fell to the ground, his body convulsing.
You stepped back pulling Tara with you. You could only watch as your coach turned into a zombie.
"Get him out of here!" Greg yelped, the zombie looked his way and launched towards him.
The second they were all frozen in fear, it was all it took for the zombie to go for the bite. You reacted first, running forward.
"Y/n no!"
You pulled the coach off Greg, throwing him to side. You picked up a book and hit him with it, making him fall back. "We need to get outta here!"
"Come on!" Chad ran towards the door pulling the desks and cabinets out of the way with the help of Ethan and Wes. The girls followed close behind them. Tara grabbing you by the hand, pulling you behind her as you and your friends ran down the hall. Leaving the coach and Greg behind.
"Where are we going?!" Amber yelled as she swung the handle of a paper guillotine she broke off.
"The science lab!" Chad yelled back. He had a leg of a wooden chair swinging the stick pushing the zombie off Ethan.
You had been thrusted a chair leg by Chad as you were pulled down the hall. Amber and Mindy had pulled Tara from you as you helped the boys push back the zombies from getting to them. They all ran upstairs trying to get to the science lab.
"Y/n hurry!" You heard Tara yell from behind you. You looked behind you to see her, her arm being held by Amber.
"Go! Open the door for the science lab! I'll be right behind you!" You grunted at the force from the pushing. You spared a glance back at Tara, she was being pulled by Amber and Mindy. You swung the chair leg at one of the zombies. Feeling your heart beating in your ears when you realized the way to your friends was being blocked by zombies. There was no way for you to get through them.
Having no choice but to hide in another room.
*
The door was slammed shut. All the guys moving to push something in order to make sure the zombies didn't push through. The brunette looking frantically around for you. But you were hard to miss. In any crowded room she'd always find you. Like her eyes were magnets, always connecting with yours.
"Where's Y/n?"
Wes snapped his head up. You were right behind him. He heard you shout that you were right behind them.
Tara didn't think, didn't wait for anyone to say anything before she was at the door trying to move the stuff blocking the door. She needed to get to you. Make sure you were okay.
"Tara, Tara you can't go out there." Amber was the one to stop her. Feeling the shorter girls shoulder shaking.
"Please Amber, I have to make sure she's okay. She has to be okay. I can't lose her." Tara let the sob out, you were right behind her. Telling her that you were right behind her. She knew she should have stayed with you. Feeling like the walls were closing in on her as she cried into Amber's shoulder.
Amber swallowed the lump in her throat. Seeing what her best friend and you had was something she could only wish for. Seeing the relationship blossom from such a young age was something everyone wanted. That true love. Knowing that if something were to happen to either of you, the other would be lost with out them.
"Come on Tara. Breath. Y/n is one of the strongest and most athletic person I know. Not to mention she's too stubborn when it comes to getting to you." Amber spoke gently to the shorter girl, leading Tara away from the door towards the window.
Everyone else looked back out the small window on the door, afraid that they'd see their friend as one of the zombies
*
You had ran into the art room, running straight to the desk with the little seconds you had before the zombies came running in. Staying at quiet as you could as you heard the footsteps and groaning coming closer. You needed to find a way out of the class and back to Tara.
*
"She'll be okay, you have to believe that she will." Amber looked out the window, looking at what was once a field filled with joy now filled with groans of students that she once knew. She felt Tara's warm hand taking hers. Tara had been her friend for the longest time. She felt tears build up in her eyes as she failed to look at Tara. She knew what was going to happen. She could feel it inside her. And she was scared.
"Amber, your hand, it's co-" Tara felt the dread wash over her like a cold bucket of water being poured over her head at what it meant. Amber was cold to the touch, her best friend always had cold hands. It was nothing new. But this type of coldness was new. Her eyes connecting to the eyes that were once brown. Were now red.
"Amber?" Quinn stood up, looking at the shorter girl. She stepped closer, her eyes also filling with tears. She couldn't lose another friend. Especially not Amber. Not when she hasn't told her how she felt. She looked at Tara who was yet to look away from Amber. When Amber turned around she felt her heart shatter at the sight of the nose bleed. She knew what that meant.
"It's okay Quinn. It's okay." Amber looked at the taller girl. She hated herself for not telling the girl how she felt. For waiting too long. From the moment she first saw Quinn. She shouldn't have let the chance go. But now. Now it was too late. She didn't want to do this to Quinn but she knew she had no control of what was going to happen next. Her gaze turned to the Quinn's brother.
Ethan stood behind Quinn, ready to protect Quinn and Tara when it came down to it. He knew it was only a matter of seconds before the Amber they knew was gone. He looked into Amber's eyes. The unspoken words in her eyes. He nodded. He knew what that look meant. He saw the small glimpse of relief in her eyes and her shoulders before the look was gone replaced with pain.
"I love you Quinn."
Quinn let out a sob, she was losing Amber. The smart witted girl that had stolen her heart with snarky remarks. Moving forward to get closer to Amber. Only to be held back by her brother.
"Get her the fuck outta here. Do something!"
Everyone ignored Jason as they watched Amber fall to the floor. The cocky, witty, Amber was gone. Replaced by a raging, flesh eating monster.
*
You peaked from the corner of the desk. There was a few zombies in the class. All gathered around the entrance of the class. There was no way you were getting out through that. You weren't sure what to do. Or how to do it. You looked around hoping to find a way back to Tara and your friends. The only way out would be through the windows, you had no other choice.
You were quick to move, throwing what you can to keep, the zombies away from you. You tried not to look down, the science lab was a level up. You weren't so sure if you'd be able to climb up.
Your foot slipping on the ledge making your heart jump to your throat "Oh shit."
You shuffled on the side, trying to figure out, how you could climb up. When you saw Wesley on what you assumed to be a water hose. You watched as he struggled to kick off the zombie off his foot. "Holy shit Wes, hold on I'm coming to you."
"Y/n? You're alive!" He smiled momentarily forgetting the situation he was in. The happiness he felt was quick to wash away at the pull of his leg. He couldn't get a good grip on the hose.
"I'm going to you. Just hold on." You weren't sure how you'd get to Wes.
"Y/n, look up."
You looked up, eyes widening at seeing a bloody face of a zombie, this time without a moment of hesitation. You leaped towards Wesley. Your heart jumping towards your throat as you free fell for a second before your arms wrapped themselves around Wes.
You were quick to kick off the zombie that held on to Wesley's foot.
"Ugh thanks. Now get off me, go down to the broadcasting room."
"What? I thought you liked my hugs." You smiled as you moved further down on the hose. Carefully going through the window.
"Y/n? Holy shit dude I thought you were dead." Ethan was quick to pull you in a tight hug. You hugged him back. He was quick to pull away, right when a familiar sob rang through the room. You looked ahead seeing Tara, her eyes red filled with tears.
You felt her body shaking as she fell into your arms. Her arms had wrapped around your waist in a tight hold as she cried into your chest. You held her closer looking at everyone around the room. You knew she was most likely worried about you. But hearing her cry like this was concerning. The more you looked around, you realized someone was missing.
Amber. Amber wasn't in the room.
With a regretful nod, Wes confirmed your thoughts. Your eyes falling to Quinn who was also crying. Your heart ached at the look on her face. You had tried hard to get Amber and Quinn together but they both were too scared of rejection.
Your eyes filled with tears. Tara had lost her best friend, your friend. Amber had been the first one to know about your feelings towards Tara. Amber had been the one to push the both of you together.
And Quinn lost someone who could have been the love of her life.
Amber was gone.
*
"Hey, talk to me." You whispered, you were sat at the corner of the room with Tara sitting in between your legs. She was leaned back into your chest. Her head resting in your neck. You could hear her faint whizzing. She had cried herself into an asthma attack.
"I-I thought you were gone. Her...Amber's- her hands were so cold. Her hands have always been cold. But they were freezing...She's gone. Amber's gone."
She began to cry softly, you brought her closer softly rubbing her back. Hoping to give her a bit comfort. But you knew you could only do so much. Amber was like another sister to Tara.
"I'm sorry Tara." It was all you could say. There was nothing that could comfort Tara at the moment. She had just lost someone that was like a sister to her. You hated thinking what Amber could have felt. How scared she must of felt. For Amber to go through that it made you want to cry.
"He's bleeding, he's infected. We have to throw him out."
You were brought out of your thoughts to see Jason pointing a finger at Wes. You and Tara both stood up looking at Wes to see his nose was bleeding.
"Oh I slammed my face on the wall when I had to jump out the science lab window." He wiped his nose with his vest, that he had taken off.
"No. You're going to turn into one of those things. He's putting all of us in danger. Greg, Coach Loomis, Amber. They all started showing signs of infection with a nose bleed." Jason argued. "Look at his fucking hand-"
"Stop." You pushed Jason away from Wes. You did not want to believe your best friend was going to change into one of those things. You stood in-front of Wes taking his hand in yours. You saw the scratches on his fist. They didn't look too deep. But you weren't sure if he'd turn. Everyone you saw turn, they had been bitten.
"It's just a scratch." You stepped beside him looking back at your friends. "He'll be fine."
"Oh you're one to talk. Profesor Prescott. You have to do something about it." Jason argued, he wasn't going to let this infected be in the room. Putting him in danger.
"Wesley. How about you go into the soundproof room and wait it out. Make sure you're not infected. Just a safety precaution." Sidney truly still couldn't wrap her head around what was happening. The fear she felt was something she has never felt. But she knew she had to stay control and hopefully keep her kids safe.
"But Profesor Prescott-Please Wesley. We can't be too careful."
With a huff he walked into the soundproof room. The door shutting behind him. You watched as he sat down on a chair. You really hoped he didn't turn. You couldn't lose any more friends.
*
"Well times up. I think Jason here owes Wes an apology." Chad spoke his arms crossed as he stood straight looking down at the boy in question.
"What? Yea right. I'm not apologizing to him. Why the fuck would I?" Jason crossed his arms in anger. Hating the way everyone in the room was looking at him.
"Dude, just own up that you were wrong." Ethan said from his spot, he had been trying to comfort his sister. There was times he had thought that Quinn would have gotten together with Amber. He had high hopes for his sister. But now she looked heartbroken and he couldn't blame her. Amber was a big part of the group.
"Yes Jason please go apologize to Wesley."
With even the teacher gaining up him. He had no choice but to go into the room. A dark thought crossing his mind. Once he would follow through. The consequences not being enough to stop him.
Everything happened so quickly. He was fine. Then the next his nose was bleeding with her being blood red. Tara stood behind you, knowing very well what you were going through. You were losing your best friend and there was absolutely nothing you could do about it. Only being able to watch as Wesley changed into one of the monsters as well.
*
The group was losing more friends than they had been prepared for. First Amber and now Wesley. You had stood next to the window for the longest time. You Chad and Ethan had to push Wesley out of the window. Trying hard to avoid getting bit by your once called best friend. He had been your first friend, back in preschool. He had been the one to name you his best friend.
And now he was gone.
"We have to find a way outta of here." Your gaze was on the world outside. You had lost sight of Wes the moment he got up from falling from the third floor window. Tara stood by your side her grip on your hand never wavering.
"How? Out there, it's too crazy and too risky." Chad spoke from his spot in the floor. He knew that help would take too long for it to arrive. With how dark and chaotic it looked from the room window. He knew that help could take up to hours if not days.
"The front is not an option. But the through the back. The construction sight we could use that route and head through the woods." You needed to get your friends out of this school. Staying here was clearly not an option.
"Okay, how do we get through those zombies?" Ethan spoke from his spot between his sister and Chad. He saw the familiar crinkle form in between your eyebrows as you thought of something. He watched you, the sadness and the complete refusal of acceptance of Wes being gone was still in your eyes.
"Zombie guts?"
"What?" Everyone turned their gaze to Mindy.
Mindy shrugged, "don't look at me like that. Haven't you guys watched the Walking Dead or any other zombie related movie. We all established that these things are zombies. So there for we use zombie guts to hide are humanly odor with flesh and get the fuck outta here." She stood up, her hand held out to help Anika up.
"Alright, it's not like we have other options. how do we get one of those things in here?" Anika asked, she was scared. Scared for what was going come. Especially if this idea became something they actually did. They already lost Amber and now Wes.
The professor in the room stayed quiet, what had just happened was something she was surely she'd never forget. Wes, Judy's son. He had been the sweet boy one second and replaced by a flesh eating monster. The change had been quick. She didn't know what or how she'd tell Judy. Judy loved her boy, he had always been her pride and joy. To have that taken from her, Sidney couldn't even imagine what that felt like.
"There's plenty of st-bodies in the hall." Sidney finally found her voice. She felt guilty for even saying it but if it meant saving at least these kids, well she had to try.
*
It took a day of no rescue for the others to actually go through with the plan. The day had been spent going back up to the tech room. Retrieving a drone to look for any survivors. With no luck on the drone it had made the original plan more cemented in everyone's mind.
"We should still use something to distract those things." Sidney said as they had successfully dragged two dead zombie student bodies into the room. She could see how your bloody hand shook as you put down the blade. Ethan and Chad had helped you drag the two unrecognizable kids into the room.
"The intercoms you use for morning announcements?"
"Okay Anika come and help me."
While Anika and professor Prescott worked on that. You stayed looking down at the blood on your hands. You had just killed two students. Two students that were no longer themselves but yet you did it. The parents of said kids would never get the chance to see them again. And now, now you were planning to cut them open. Like pigs, all in the name of survival. What you were about to do, you weren't even sure if it'd work. But it had to. You and your friends couldn't last another day in this school.
Soft hands cupped your cheeks, lifting your gaze away from your hands. "Hey, look at me." Dark brown eyes looked back into yours. "Stay with me." Her words rang in your ears. Your racing thoughts come to a halt, you need to get Tara out of this school. Some where safe.
"It's ready."Â
Now all that was to be done was to butcher these kids, before you could even pick up the blade someone else took picked it up.
"You've done enough, I got this." Ethan said giving you no chance before he took a deep breath and you flinched at the sound of bones breaking. You looked away, your eyes finding Tara who was by the window. You knew she was worried for her sister.
"Wait, Professor? How do I use the intercom's?" You asked while Ethan helped cover the others in blood.
"Just push down on this button to speak, okay go ahead."
"Sam if you can hear this, it's Y/n, we are going towards the construction sight. Please try to meet us there."
*
The walk was tense. Everyone in the group falling in a close line. Tara standing right behind you. The halls had a few stragglers, but they paid no mind to you or the others. Those things, too occupied with the morning positive announcements. From what you could see the plan was working. Thing that worried you was that said announcements were only thirty minutes long. And it's been twenty at most minutes that have passed since you all stepped out of the broadcasting room.
"We have to hurry."
Your head snapped back at Jason. The look was harsh, as the deal was to not talk and make unnecessary noise. But the damage was already done. The zombie that was closest to him had growled in his direction, it was enough for him to get out of line stumbling on a dead body, making him crash on to the floor. The yells of the zombies as the scream that left his lips was enough to draw in more.
Some bumped into you but paid you no mind you had taken Tara in your arms the moment he had fallen out of line. You couldn't do anything without putting the others at risk. So you took a quiet step back. Leading the others away.
It was too late for him anyway.
*
The plan was going too smoothly. You were only minutes away from entering the construction site. When the rain came followed by loud thunder. You breath hitched at the meaning. The smell of dead would wash away. Leaving you and your friends exposed.
"Run."
The panic washed over everybody, the pace picked up and the rain fell harder. The sound of infected roared as the picked up the scent of human flesh. The group cutting through the open field to get to the closest construction area. Running into the building.
"Get down!"
The group of teens didn't hesitate as they dropped to the floor. The faint noise of arrows flying by. The sound of the dead dropping and staying down. You had covered Tara with your body. When the only thing that could now be heard was the sound of rain and thunder. You looked up eyes connecting with familiar brown eyes.
With a chocked laugh you got up, helping Tara up. Tara only had a second until she realized who was in front of her. "Sam." The hug between the two sisters was a moment you felt like you needed. The relief in Tara's shoulder was noticeable. Sam looked at you and the group. Eyes furrowing, you felt like you knew what she was thinking. Shaking your head slightly, her eyes filled with remorse and slight tears.
"We have to get off school grounds. It's too crazy here." Danny said after retrieving the arrows. "I was able to talk with my dad before the phone lines stopped working. People were able to evacuate to the town over. The city is blocked by the military, so we have to go to one those checkpoints and hope they don't shoot first."
If the military was able to evacuate some people you knew that if the school grounds were crazy, the city was most likely worse. With a sigh of what you and the others will most likely go through. Getting to the construction sight had been hard and almost seemed too difficult. But now having to just go into the city, now that was impossible.
*
"Okay guys just stay close okay. Everyone has a weapon right?" Danny asked as he loaded his own bow with an arrow. His gaze falling on you. He could see how much it hurt to lose Wes. He had been more like brother to you and he knew how much you cherished the friendship with Wes. He also knew that Tara was hurting. Amber was also like sister to Tara. Being there when Sam couldn't.
"Okay. I'll be in the front, arrows in the front clearing a path. Y/n, Chad, Ethan think you two can handle the back?" Danny asked getting nods in response. "Everyone else try to stay in the middle don't get separated. Alright let's go."
*
He felt cold, confused, hungry? He felt really hungry. The hall floor was hard and wet, but the more he became aware the more he realized that it was blood on his clothes. His blood.
The memories came flooding back in, the feeling of being eaten alive. He remembered all those bites, he felt those bites before his world went black.
You.
You had left him there to die. Not even moving to help.
He'd make you pay.
*
Tara kept looking back at your direction, she didn't like that you were in the back. She was thankful to know that her sister was alive and not one of those things. Yet she still feared what could happen. They had successfully made it out of the school. Cutting through the back woods. The woods had been thankfully deserted with no infected in sight.
With Sam in front of her along side Danny, the walk was quiet, tense. She was afraid that the smallest noise would bring those things down on them.
She had to believe, or at least hope that everything would be okay.
*
You breathed heavily as you pushed your back onto the door. The dead pushing their own weight to get the door to open. "Fuck! Get something to block the door!" Chad and Ethan helped you with the door. While the rest helped with pushing a big cabinet. Your body pushed forward from the force of the door trying to he pushed open.
"Guys hurry up!" "Move!" The big cabinet fell in front of the door blocking the infected from getting in.
"Man that was intense, everyone okay?" You slumped back into a wall, everyone responded with a confirmation. "Come let's get away from the doors and windows."
Once everyone was in a more secluded area with less windows, you turned and checked over Tara. "You okay? No bites? Do you need your inhaler?" Hands stopping their movements on her cheeks.
"I'm fine. Come on let's rest." The day had been a long one. From moving discreetly and not so discreetly the group had to take refuge in a restaurant. The moment you had a chance you took Tara into your arms. Thankful to have her safely in your embrace.
With most of the electricity being out in the city the streets were dark and if not almost impossible to see in the dark. So you had to find shelter and having to move when the sun was out. The rest was well deserved, with everyone running low on energy. The group had taken shelter in a room furthest from the front door. But it had a window just in case of needed to get out of there quickly.
~
Tara had been asleep on your chest, she felt so exhausted, hungry. It was still dark out, so she wasn't sure what woke her up. You were still asleep, your chest rising and falling in a calming way. Your face was relaxed for the first time since this whole thing started. As she traced your facial features with her eyes, the glow of the moon was enough for her to see your face. She heard a noise. A noise that she was certain was what woke her up.
The door leading down to the empty hall way was closed and barricaded with a desk. Everyone had fallen asleep. As she moved to get up your arm wrapped around her waist tightened.
"Where are you going?" Your voice came out as a whisper. You had always been a light sleeper.
"I heard something." She whispered back. You were now wide awake as you sat up with her. She watched as you stepped silently towards the door, she moved behind you, refusing to let you go alone.
You only moved the desk a few inches. Enough to only crack open the door, only to get a peak outside. The noise was heard again. But you couldn't see anything, the halls were dark. The moon light only casted so much light. The noise got closer and closer until you saw two eyes looking up you. The breath you didn't even know you were holding was let out.
Meow.
The cat used the small gab you left open. To get in. The black cat rubbing against your leg.
"Oh it's a kitty." Tara gushed as she pointed the light from her phone on the cat. You chuckled and quietly moved to shut the door.
You didn't see it coming. You had been so focused on Tara's smile as she the cat in her arms. The force of the push had been so unexpected, the force throwing you back. Your eyes widen in disbelief at who stood there. Covered in blood and bloody snarl on his lips.
"You left me. You left me to die."
"Jason."
Everyone was now awake. You could feel the tension, and the guilt you felt washed in.
"Feeling guilty?" His twitching was noticeable. You couldn't wrap your mind around that fact that he was still alive.
"Yeah, I felt guilty too...when I infected Wesley. But then I remembered what he did to me. Then it went away."
Your ears felt like they were ringing, his word repeating in your mind. Wes was fine till Jason went in that room to apologize. Jason killed Wes. He killed your best friend. You acted before really thinking.
"Y/n!"
Your fists connected with his face. The rage and fury you felt washed over. It angered you further that he was laughing. The rage grew and the punches became more intense.
Arms wrapped around you as they tried to pull you off. The arms of Ethan and Chad pulling you off there hold on you tight.
"You'll all die."
The sounds of groaning and screams filled the hall. Everyone sharing a look as they all moved to shut the door. Jason laid on the floor as he continued to laugh loudly. Drawing the attention of the infected. You wasted no time to grab him once again throwing him out the window.
"Fuck, out the window." Anika moved towards the broken window. Seeing Jason no longer where he landed. She was scared. Scared on what that could mean. He had turned but he wasn't like the rest. He was still conscious of his actions.
The sun just barely coming out casting a light into the room. Your hands still shook, the anger you still had was still there just now accompanied by some overwhelming regret.
"We have to move!! They're breaking through the door!" Danny yelled as he along with Chad, Ethan, Mindy and Sam tried to hold the desk in place.
Tara was quick to cup your cheeks breaking you out of your spiral. "Baby come on we have to go. Stay with me." Your eyes held so much and she couldn't even comprehend what you were thinking.
"Go with Anika, Sam go down with them. Make sure the way is clear for the rest of us to go down." Taking Tara's hands in your giving them a what you could only hope was a comforting squeeze. "Go with them. I'll be right behind you."
Tara heard you say that once and she lost you for second. This time she didn't listen. She moved to help you with the desk. "Ta-No, I'm not leaving you again. Mindy go. Then Ethan and Chad. I'll go with you. The window is big enough for the both of to jump out of."
Quickly they cleared the room. The door giving out the moment you and Tara rushed forward. The quickness of how you both went out the window falling into a dumpster.
"We have to move! Come on." You took Tara's hand and rushed down the alley. The same alley that was once mostly empty of infected was now filled with them. In the center was Jason. A smug smirk on his face.
"RUN!!"
*
Tara had always been light, with your work outs and constant sports you played you were in great shape. So when you felt Tara slowing down. You didn't even need to look at her when you picked her up. Her arms and legs wrapping around you tightly. Her shortness in breath had you worried and you knew she needed her inhaler.
"The bus! Get on the bus!" Sam yelled her pace picking up as she reached the bus getting the door open, thanking what ever god was up there that the keys were in the key was in the ignition.
You had been the last one to reach the bus. Only a step in when you felt a sharp pain on your forearm looking behind you to see Jason before an arrow was shot right in between his eyes. His limp body falling to the floor, unmoving.
The bus moved forward as the doors closed. The infected crashing into the side of the bus.
You focused on tara whose breathing was becoming more dangerously labored. You sat her down on one of the seats digging in your pocket to take out the inhaler. "Come baby, use this. Breathe in. I got you." You spoke softly in her ear. The inhaler brought up to her lips. "Nice and easy. That's my girl." It took a few more minutes for her breathing to return to a somewhat normal rhythm.
*
"Okay I think we lost them." Mindy spoke up as stood by Sam who had been driving. The roads were empty of infected, abandoned cars were on the streets but the bus was strong enough to move the cars out of the way.
Everything was a bit muffled for you. All you could think about now was the bite on your forearm that was covered by your long sleeve shirt. You weren't sure at first if you were going to turn seeing as Jason was still, alive? But as the minutes passed and the hour grew closer. You felt yourself growing lighter, weaker. You had to tell them.
Tara was resting her head on your chest as you leaned your back on the window. The cat on her lap also resting. Everyone was so unaware of what was happening.
"Sam stop the bus."
"What?" She looked back at you and then back at the road. It was an open field now the city behind as you were the check point wouldn't be too far now.
"What's wrong?" Tara pulled away from your chest to look at you. Her eyes searching for why you would want Sam to stop the bus. But you didn't meet her eyes. Instead you stood up as the bus stopped. Her hand reaching to take a hold of yours. Her breath hitching and the chill rolling down her body at the feeling of your cold hands.
"No." It came out so small, denying what it meant. You were probably just cold. Your hands got cold sometimes.
Your eyes filled with tears. You pulled back afraid of what was to come. You didn't want to hurt anyone. Especially not Tara.
Chad moved to stand behind Tara, confused what was wrong. "What's going on?"
You took another step back towards the doors. Tara refused to look away from you as her eyes filled with more tears, her lip quivering as she refused to believe what was happening.
"Y/n?" Ethan asked standing by Chad. His hand reaching for Chad's.
The lump in your grew bigger as everyone's eyes were now on you. your eyes finally meeting Tara's, the pure anguish and refusal to accept what was to come.
"Jason bit me, I wasn't sure if it was going to happen. But I am turning. IâI can feâel it." The tears that blurred your vision finally fell. The feeling of you losing the control of your mind was a lot more, than you had expected.
"Daânny shoot me."
"What?" Danny's voice cracked as he took you in. Your hands were shaking blood starting to roll down your noise.
"No!" The whizzing got worse as Tara rushed to get to you but was stopped by Sam. She tried hard to get out of her sisters hold but Sam had always been strong.
"Dâon't want to....be one of thâose things." You could feel the blood rolling down your noise. Your vision coming and going. Your knees growing weaker as you crumbled down to the floor. "Daânny please."
Danny looked at Sam who was also crying trying to comfort her younger sister. Her brown eyes filled with uncertainty.
You tried to get back up wanting to get out of the bus.
Tara couldn't let you go. She couldn't, seeing your once y/ec eyes were now covered in a bloody red color. She cried out your name, desperately trying to get to you. "Sam please. There could be a cure. We just have to get her to one of the camps." Ignoring all the signs of the infection taking over.
"Dâanny!" Your voice came out once more. More desperately. You had stood back up red veins noticeable on your face. Danny loaded his arrow hands shaking as he aimed it at you. You were no longer you.
"I'm sorry." The arrow went fast, and you dropped even faster. Your body laying thee no longer twitching, no longer moving. The arrow went directly into your left eye. He let his arrow drop his ears felt like they were ringing, muffling picking up the cry of Tara.
The world was coming to an end. And in a zombie apocalypse, everyone's survival was not guaranteed.
:(
