Abnormal Animal Behavior: A Hello Neighbor Fanfic

By JJ

Summary: Finch and Nicky go exploring in the woods to try and find out what's causing all of this animal violence.

P.S., this takes place after Typical Raven Behavior.

I know what you're thinking.

What in hell is Nicky doing with Finch?

The bitch, the bratty girl scout, the bully, the girl who took a picture of his mental breakdown, the girl whose Halloween costume was literally him in a straightjacket.

But she apologized for that. Yeah, she was threatened to, but at least she showed some remorse. It's not like they were friends or anything, just because she apologized didn't mean they were friends now, they were neutral, but not friends.

And they were only here to investigate the animals.

Something in the back of Nicky's head told him that this might be a trick. Finch had a knack for tricking people and taking humiliating pictures of them, but now that her camera was broken, she couldn't take pictures.

But this could still be a trick.

"You said these animals had bloodshot demon eyes, you better not be lying to me. Because I swear to God, Finch, if this is another one of your tricks -"

"I promise it's not. The animals are seriously going crazy."

They walked through the woods, ignoring the signs that said "Danger" and "Don't feed the animals".

The kids nearly jumped out of their skins when they heard the rustle of bushes.

"You heard that, right?", Finch asked Nicky.

"Oh I heard it alright.", replied Nicky. He moved closer to Finch and held her hand. "We should stay close together. Just so nothing jumps out of the bushes and snatches us up or anything."

Finch gripped Nicky's hand, "Yeah, totally."

They continued to walk through the woods, trying to ignore all of the terrifying sounds that came from all different directions. Hissing, twig snapping, scratching, they even thought they heard a scream come from somewhere throughout the woods.

"That's probably nothing.", Finch said to herself, not really believing it herself. She knew she heard a scream. No animal could ever make that sound. Well, except maybe a goat, but there were no goats in the woods.

Finch closed her eyes, trying not to get scared. She wondered what she was thinking when she snuck into the woods with Nicky, she wanted to know what in the world her dad would think when he found out that his daughter is in the woods with a boy.

She knew if they died here, it'd be all on her. Because she gave the information to Nicky about the animals, and she's the one who suggested to go into the woods.

A fox jumped out of a bush, making the two jump back in fear.

"Oh God!", Nicky nearly shrieked. Then he looked closer at the fox.

Its eyes were all the way a bright, glowy red. Finch wasn't lying when she said this wasn't normal.

"I told you.", Finch whispered to Nicky. "Don't get too close to it, it might bite you."

The kids slowly backed away from the fox, knowing that one wrong move could set it off. They actually managed to get pretty far away from it, but Nicky accidentally stepped on a twig, earning a snap.

The fox jumped onto Nicky's shirt, clawing at him and leaving red marks on his face. Nicky tried hard to push it off, but nothing he seemed to do worked.

Then a pebble came by, hitting the little fox in the face, knocking it off.

He looked to where the pebble came from, and he saw Finch holding a slingshot.

"Holy shit.", he whispered.

"Do you like it? I made it.", she said excitedly. She helped Nicky up and watched him dust himself off.

"Yeah, thanks for the save. You weren't lying about the animals, that was completely not normal. What do you think it is?", he asked.

"I'm not sure. But from the red eyes, I think it might be either mind control or possession."

"Yeah. But from what though?"

Before Nicky could even receive an answer, his eyes widened at what he saw behind Finch. Finch turned around to see what he was looking at, and she didn't like what she saw.

A tall, cloaked figure with a beak sticking out of its hood. The figure stood there menacingly.

"Is that Crowface?", asked Finch.

"Yes, that's him.", replied Nicky.

The figure slowly raised its arms, summoning a murder of crows on each side of the woods. Each crows eyes were bloodshot red, and made the kids start slowly backing off.

They started slowly backing away, but then they thought "Screw it!" and just started making a run for it.

The murder of crows started charging at them, clawing at them with their talons, pecking them everywhere with their beaks, and cawing loudly in their ears.

Finch and Nicky tried swatting them away, keeping their eyes closed so the crows couldn't peck their eyes.

The two finally made their way out of the woods, recognizing all of the signs they saw before they came in here. It was then that the crows finally let up.

Nicky fell down to his knees, breathing heavily.

"Are you okay?", Finch asked, also breathing heavily.

"Yeah, I'm fine.", replied Nicky. "What about you?"

"A crow snapped my hair tie, but apart from that, I'm fine.", she said, dusting herself off. "Do you think that thing knows something about the animals?"

"Definitely. After all, it did unleash an army of crows at us."

Finch helped Nicky stand up, "Maybe Crowface is the one mind controlling the animals. You did mention that when you, Delroy, and Trinity went here, he set crows after you guys and just disappeared?"

"Yeah.", said Nicky. "So everything we know about Crowface is that he gave Trinity a coin, and it has supernatural powers, such as teleportation and mind control."

The two walked down the sidewalk together.

"At first, I thought he was just a guy in a costume. But no regular human being could make animals attack us on command. What do you think?", asked Finch.

"Yeah, Crowface isn't a guy in a costume. The guys don't really know that yet, but I think they'll find out sometime, or I could tell them."

Finch nodded in agreement.

"Hey, do you have a spare hair tie?"

i just want you for my own

Taylor and Link share a moment under the mistletoe while preparing for a Close-Foster-Swift family Christmas party, and things get a little fiery.

christmas gift for @happi-tree <3

[title from All I Want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey]

ao3

Every year Taylor and his mom have spent Christmas together, just the two of them curled up on the couch watching Frosty the Snowman: The Anime and eating the gingerbread houses they built hours before.

This year is different.

Taylor has always had an affinity for Christmas, but this year he has a whole new side of the family that shares that sentiment. And they are throwing a gigantic party. Link and his dads came early to help set up, Taylor’s dad will be here soon, the others will arrive after, and Glenn will surely be “fashionably” late. It’s going to be great.

Right now, Taylor is barely balancing on a stepstool trying to string lights at the top of his door frame. If only his tiny wings emerging from his back could actually help him fly.

“Need help?”

Taylor nearly stumbles off the stool when strong arms wrap around his waist to steady him.

Link.

“Careful.”

“Yeah, thanks.”

“Here,” Link says, holding Taylor’s hand and helping him down. Then, Link spins him around by his shoulders and lifts him up with both hands on his tummy.

Taylor can feel Link’s hands under his loose tee shirt and his hands are quite cold in contrast to his naturally high body temperature. He fights back a shiver at the sudden contrast, and sticks the lights to the door frame with tape. Link sets him back down, and he hopes he can’t see how red his face is, or hear the breathlessness in his voice when he says, “Thanks.”

“No problem. It looks cute.”

You look cute , Taylor wants to say.

Taylor isn’t the type to get crushes. Well, not ones like this . Sure, he’s found people cute—he can recognize attractiveness when he sees it—but man …

Link’s always been cute, and dreamy, and charming, and…

Taylor doesn’t know when it got so intense, but at this point it seems that everyone knows but the boy himself. Scary won’t let up on the teasing, but Taylor just retaliates by teasing her about a certain mascot.

It’s true though, Lincoln Li-Wilson has got Taylor down bad.

The doorbell rings.

“Dad!” Taylor shouts, nearly tripping down the front step in his excitement.

“Hey, kiddo!” Nicky’s already ruffling his hair as soon as he reaches the bottom of the steps.

“Hi!” Taylor says, burying his face in Nicky’s torso and wrapping his arms around him. “We’re still decorating.”

“Ooh, well I brought something for you.”

Taylor pulls away. “What is it?”

Nicky pulls a flaming plant out of his pocket and holds it out in the palm of his hand.

“A mistletoe?” Taylor asks.

“I thought it might come in handy,” Nicky whispers, glancing off to the side.

Taylor follows his gaze to see Link, wrapping a shimmering garland around the railing.

“Dad!” Taylor whisper-shouts back, feeling his face flush.

“Come on, I see the way you look at him,” Nicky says, pinching Taylor’s cheek and ruffling his hair again. “It’s a special mistletoe from Hell. I kissed your mom under it way back then.”

“Oh my god, Dad!” Taylor shouts, taking it from him. It’s hot, but a little fire never hurt a tiefling like Taylor.

“Go hang it up,” Nicky pats Taylor on the shoulder.

Taylor can barely contain his own sheepish grin as he runs back up the steps to the entrance of his room.

The mistletoe is connected to a small hook, one he could hang on the lights fairly easily if he weren’t too short.

But then there’s an arm around his shoulders and a hand over his, picking up the mistletoe and hanging it over the lights like he had planned.

“What is that?” Link asks, moving his hand to the small of Taylor’s back in a way that almost makes him feel faint.

“It’s a—a mistletoe,” Taylor says, shifting to lean his back against the doorframe to take some of the weight off his feet. “From Hell. My—uh, my dad gave it to me.”

Taylor could not be more thankful that Link’s more focused on this flaming, flickering mistletoe than how red his cheeks must be with the way he can feel them burning up.

Link’s wearing a red sweater with white snowflakes patterned across it and Garfield on his stomach wearing a little santa hat. He’s got a white collared shirt underneath the sweater, though the top few buttons are undone…

He’s smiling, and the glow of the fire is lighting his gorgeous brown eyes. “It’s pretty.”

“You’re pretty,” Taylor breathes out despite himself.

“What?” Link asks.

“What? Sorry, wha—uh, what did you say?” Taylor stutters, biting his lip.

“The mistletoe, it’s pretty.”

“Yeah… I… uh… my family likes these traditions a lot. On my dad’s side, mostly.”

“It looks like we’re standing under it,” Link says, looking back down at Taylor with a mesmerizing gaze.

God.

“Yeah, I mean, it’s—it’s a uh, it’s a silly tradition, we don’t have to if you don’t want to,” Taylor barely squeaks out, surprised he hasn’t caught fire himself yet.

“Well, It is your family’s party, so I might as well honour your traditions,” Link says, leaning forward a little and brushing a strand of hair out of Taylor’s face and tucking it behind his ear.

Taylor’s hands take purchase on Link’s shoulders and snake their way up his neck. He sucks in a shuddering breath and shuts his eyes as Link cups his cheeks and leans the rest of the way in.

As timid as Link can be, he kisses like he’s in charge. He slides his hands to hold Taylor by the waist and dip him ever so slightly, and Taylor can feel the heat from the mistletoe as if it’s consuming him whole.

“Mm,” Taylor hums into the kiss, and he feels heat rushing past his lips.

“Taylor,” Link whispers, pulling away a little.

“Mhm..?”

“Taylor, you’re burning up.”

“What?” Taylor opens his eyes to see flickers of light at the ends of his hair. “Oh my god, I’m on fire,” he breathes out, and ah, smoke. Smoke leaves his lips. “Oh god, oh my god, oh my god—” Taylor stumbles away from Link and hits his back against the doorframe, wincing.

“Hey, hey, hey,” Nicky comes running up the stairs. “It’s okay, it’s normal, I promise. Just breathe, kiddo,” he says, putting a hand on his too-hot shoulder.

He hadn’t even realized how unsteady his breathing had gotten. Closing his eyes, he slows it to the best of his abilities, though when he opens them, the ends of his hair are still very clearly flaming.

“Look, now you’ve got aesthetic demon flames to add to your look,” Nicky winks.

“Dad!” Taylor shouts, pressing his hands against his cheeks. “I—I’m gonna go to the bathroom. Bye!” Taylor squeaks, before running through the doorway in his room to the bathroom connected to it.

And looking in the mirror he sees it: flaming hair and flaming horns, and a glow in his eyes he’s seen before but only in the dark.

“My first kiss, and I immediately catch fire,” Taylor grumbles to himself, “Just another day in the life of Taylor Swift.”

“I’d say it’s not the worst of days.”

Taylor whips around to find Link with his a firm grip on the doorframe, gazing at him like he’s something special and not just a ball of uncontrollable fire.

“Link!” Taylor presses his palms against his cheeks once more. Burning and bright red. “Uh—hi. Hi. Sorry.”

“It’s okay, Taylor. I—I like the hair… flames.”

Link steps a little closer and reaches for Taylor’s hands, but he pulls them away. “I—I don’t want to burn you. Sorry, sorry—”

Taylor feels the tears start to form, but then they evaporate with the heat of his cheeks.

“It’s okay, I can handle a little heat, I promise. And your dad told me it’s not enough to leave any real damage. Not when it happens from, uh… excitement, I guess.”

“Oh my god, this is so embarrassing, I’m sorry, we should continue preparing for the party,” Taylor brushes past Link, unable to look him in the eyes.

“Wait,” Link says, taking hold of Taylor’s hand. It’s coolness is refreshing in comparison to his boiling temperature. Taylor turns back around to gaze at those beautiful brown eyes once more.

“Wha—”

“Can I kiss you again?” he asks, shy and timid.

“Ye—yeah, you can,” Taylor nods, perhaps too eager, but as Link pulls him in again, he doesn’t seem to mind.

This time, Link dips him all the way, and the flames get stronger, but Link doesn’t seem to mind.

“Mm,” Taylor hums into the kiss, and breaks away for air before going back in for more, His arms draped over Link’s shoulders.

Taylor starts to trail kisses across Link’s collarbone, briefly forgetting that his lip gloss will make his skin all shiny, but with the little giggles he makes at it, it’s all worth it.

When Taylor reaches Link’s neck, he briefly wonders if he could leave something resembling a vampire mark with his newly sharp fangs, and as he’s about to figure that out, there’s a knock.

“Door’s still open, kiddo!”

Taylor clamps a hand over his mouth and turns to see the wide open bedroom door.

“Either close it or help decorate!” Nicky shouts, already down the hall.

Taylor turns back to Link, whose eyes are just as wide as his own.

“You wanna decorate?” he asks, letting go of Taylor, much to Taylor’s dismay, but alas, there are duties that need tending to.

“Yeah. We should—yeah.”

And as they walk out the door, Link says, “Hey, now you match the mistletoe!”

Taylor giggles at that, and leads him by the hand down the hall.

“Thanks for having us over, Y/n.” Nichole gushes, packing her bag up and heading over to the door.

“Of course, anytime, and I’ll see you later tonight with some of my own things.” You answered.

“See you later! I’ll make some calls for locksmiths in the meantime for you too.”

“Thanks Nicky! I really do appreciate it.”

"Girl, you know I got you, besides we haven't been together in so long, Kyle's been snoggin' all your attention lately and I'm startin to feel jealoussss." She teased.

You roll your eyes and lightly push Nichole's shoulder, "You know it ain't gonna be like that."

Nichole puts her hands up, "Hey! I'm just sayin' Kyle's a good guy.. you guys do work.."

You hum, "It's too soon, I just.. Kenny and I just ended you know and it would be awful to take advantage of Kyle's feelings like that."

Nichole freezes, she looks around and lowers her voice, "You..know?"

You nod and lower your voice too, "I overheard... Kenny and Kyle's fight I.. I overheard specifically Kenny saying that Kyle likes me and just.. Kyle doesn't know I know."

Nichole gasps and covers her mouth in shock, "Girl... oh my god. Girl to girl, right now what are your thoughts on him."

You smile bittersweetly, "I love Kyle I do.. I don't.. I don't know if it's like that though you know? Time could tell but.. no I.." You sigh, "Everything is too soon."

Nichole nods, "Smart, you've always been smart with your feelings, Y/n. He's waited this long for you though.. I'm sure he'd wait longer."

Nichole straightens herself up and heads out the door, "Well... I'll see you later!"

You offer a wave in return and sit to think about Kyle. You cared deeply for him, he's been a good friend to you for years, a good bandmate, a good man. You know his actions to you came from the heart and that he isn't trying to be superficial and selfish by helping you out. You didn't doubt that if Kenny hadn't asked you out those years ago, you'd have probably been with Kyle at this point in time. You didn't doubt that Kyle wasn't a good man, you just didn't know if.. you exactly wanted a relationship right now.

Relationships were draining, at least your last one was, mainly towards the end. Kenny was also a good boyfriend but he could be rather.. greedy with things. He often would take and rarely gave. He'd often ghost you at times but then make up for it with the affection bombing afterwards. It wasn't rare for Kenny to go mia for a few days, return like nothing happened, and devote all his time to you before doing it all over.

You sighed, boys suck and your heart was torn, on one hand it was comforting that Kyle still liked you, you wouldn't be lying if you said that somewhere in your heart you naturally held a soft spot for him, but you knew it was too soon to jump into anything. The press would have a hay day and you knew how the media reacted to whenever a female artist got into a new relationship. That wasn't the only problem though.. you didn't want to think Kyle to think he was being used either.

God you wished life was easier.

"Y/NNNNNNN" Clyde whines out, running over to you and enveloping you into a hug.

"Oh- Clyde! Hey You're up!"

"We're all awake, anyhow I hate to goooo, can't I stay?"

Chuckling you remove yourself from Clyde's embrace, "As much as I love you Clyde you gotta get back to your own apartment, I'm sure Tolkien would like to see his roommate for once."

Clyde rubs the back of his head sheepishly, "Yeah.. I think Tolkien is sick of me though, especially after I gave him his gifts from New York."

You purse your lips, "I told you that those New York shirts were tacky and he wouldn't like them."

"That's exactly why he should like them- they're tacky!"

"Yeah well isn't Bebe sick of you being at her place this entire time?"

"Oh... yeah.. hey Y/n..."

"No you can't stay here, go back to your OWN place Donovan."

"Yes mom."

You scoff, "HEY!"

Clyde chuckles and starts heading out the door, "See you Y/n!! Love youuuuuuuuuuuu."

You snort, "Bye Clyde, love you too."

You turn around and come face to face with Stan next, "Stan! Next to go?"

Stan nods, "Yeah, hey I just wanted to check in again, how are you?"

You offer him a smile, "Thanks, I'm doing good Stan, thanks for constantly checkin up on me, you're a good guy."

Stan's face becomes tinged with a blush, "Oh dude, thanks Y/n, Wendy says all the time that friends are one of the most important things in life and we're friends! And my friends' health is important to me."

"You're too sweet Stan. Tell Wendy I said hi."

"I will! You better text her though yourself."

"I'll text her in a bit, see you later Stan."

"See ya!" Stan heads out the door.. which left Kyle.

You pad into your living room, glancing at Kyle who's clearing up where he slept and packing away his things, "Late to waking up?"

Kyle groans, "Yeah well Stan likes to move when he's sleeping."

You move to sit on the adjacent couch, "Oooo, ouch."

"Mhmm."

Kyle finishes the rest of his packing, "Thanks for having us over, Y/n."

"Anytime! You guys are always welcome. You think we'd do these more."

Kyle tilts his head in thought, "We do spend months together when we tour, so.."

"Right.. right I can only stand you for so long after all." You tease.

Kyle snorts, "Yeah I know I'm a lot to handle."

You both walk over to your front door, "You'd let me know if.. if you needed anything right Y/n? You know that I care about you right and if something was up, or if you're not actually doing okay or if something was wrong or if-"

You hold a hand up to stop Kyle's rambling, "Yes, Kyle. To all, I know that you care for me. I know that you're all there for me, especially during this. And I would obviously let you know if something happened."

Kyle breathes a sigh of relief, "You're.. important to me- to us. You know?"

You put a hand on Kyle's shoulder, "I know, I appreciate it. I appreciate you. You've done a lot for me recently and I don't know how I could ever repay you. You take care of yourself too, yeah? You've been focusing so much on other people that you gotta remember about yourself."

Kyle blushes in embarrassment, "Yeah.. yeah you're right. I'll see you later, Y/n."

He heads out the door and you wave as he leaves. Once the door closes you exhale, maybe you need to revisit how you're feeling.

The Raven King - Chapter Three

Day: Friday, September 1st Time: 12:48 PM EST

"What is going on?" Kevin asked. "You can't last a full game without your medicine." “No, probably not." Andrew sounded far too cheerful for someone who was going to spend half of his night in serious discomfort. "He's done it once before," Matt said. "Yeah, last October." Nicky didn't look up from where he was stuffing things into his duffel, but he was grinning as he told his story. "We found out the ERC was going to cut us from the Class I ranks if we didn't stop losing. Coach asked Andrew for a miracle, and Andrew gave us one. He made Coach come up with a number between one and five, and that's how many points he let the other team get before he shut them out. It was probably the most badass thing I've ever seen.” If his words were supposed to make Kevin feel better about Andrew's chances tonight, they achieved the exact opposite. Kevin's face was a thundercloud. "So you'll try," Kevin said through gritted teeth, "because Coach asked you to." Andrew folded his arms across his knees, tilted his head back, and smiled up at Kevin. "Careful, Kevin. Your jealous streak is showing." "For eight months you've told me no. In eight seconds you told him yes. Why?" "Oh, that's easy." Andrew stuffed the last of his gear into his bag and zipped it shut. He slung the bag over his shoulders and got to his feet, standing up so close to Kevin he almost knocked Kevin back a step. "It's just more fun to tell you no. That's what you wanted, right? You wanted me to have fun. I am. Aren't you?" For someone so small, Andrew made a lot of noise when shoved into the lockers. Andrew was laughing as he crashed into the orange metal. Neil didn't know what amused Andrew more: Kevin's violence or the splash of blood that now stained the front of Kevin's shirt. Neil hadn't even seen Andrew take a knife out, but it was “in his hand in the air between them. Kevin retreated from Andrew with a sharp curse. "Jesus, Andrew!" Matt said. "Kevin, are you all right?" "I'm fine." Kevin put a hand to his chest as if checking the truth of his words. Andrew stepped away from the lockers and got in Kevin's space again. He put the edge of the blade against Kevin's chest over his heart and peered up into Kevin's face. Kevin looked more angry than intimidated as he stared back. Matt started toward them, maybe thinking he had to break up round two of their fight. Kevin didn't look away from Andrew when he motioned at Matt to back off. Matt didn't stop until he was within lunging distance. There he waited, still and tense, for one of them to make the wrong move. After he'd gone still, Andrew spoke again. "Kevin, Kevin. So predictable. So pathetic. How about a tip? A reward for all your hard work, or something. Ready? You'll start having more success when you ask for things you can actually have." "I can have this," Kevin said, voice thick with frustration. "You're just being stupid." "I guess we'll see, but don't say I didn't warn you!”

Teenage Nick x reader, Nick being insecure because he’s from a poor family while dating the reader who comes from a wealthier family. (Not mega rich)

Angst with some fluff?

Doesn't matter

*my gif not my TikTok

"this would look nice on you" I held up a shirt to Nick "you like it?" he nodded I put it in the cart he sighed. "you need new socks?" I asked he shook his head "you sure?" "yeah i'm sure" he snapped back "okay". "who's that for?" he asked as I put a purple hoodie in the cart "Nina I thought it would be cute for Christmas" he didn't say anything.

Nick helped me put the bags in the back of my car, "you want to come to my house?" I asked "sure..only for like an hour h" he nodded. He laid on my couch watching TV while I was sitting on the floor wrapping presents "did you get my mom gifts?" he asked I looked up at him "yeah of course!" "does that mean I have to get you mom something?" I shook my head "no I just saw something thought your mom would like it" he took a deep breath and sat up "how many under there are for me and my family" "um half" I said unsure "stop buying us stuff" I gave a breathless laugh and he didn't crack a smile "baby it's fine I like buying you guys stuff" "stop...I gotta go i'll see you when I see you" he stood up "you need a ride?" "no" he walked out the door.

| 3 Days Later |

I knock on Nick's door, Nina opened it "hey your brother here?" I asked she nodded and smiled "his room" I went in his room he smiled till he saw the shopping bag in my hand. "hey!" I smiled and leaned door and kissed him "what'd got?" he asked "it's an early gift, I know you have a meet this weekend thought you needed this" I pulled a new TapOut gym bag. His bag was falling apart "take that back" he said rubbing a hand down his face "what you don't like it?" "no you just treat me like a fucking charity case" he sat up "what?" "your buying me and my family shit rubbing it in my face" my eyes slightly watered "i'm not I-" "No what fucking girlfriend buys her boyfriend socks" he stood up "thats what your upset about" he scoffed and shook his head grabbing the bag handing it to me "get out i'm done being you're fucking charity case" he lightly pushed me to the door "your kidding me" "no i'm not" I picked up the bag and quickly walked down the hall. Nate was on the couch "here new gym bag" "oh shit thanks Y/n" I nodded and wiped my nose I nodded "I gotta go" I softly smiled "oh okay".

I slammed my car door before putting it in drive. I sat on my bed my knees to my chest "I thought you were staying at Nicks tonight?" my sister asked I shook my head pulling his hoodie tighter "what's wrong?" she sat next to me "he broke up with me or I don't know".

It was about 12 I was watching TV, Nick opened my door "hey," he said quietly "i'm sorry I just-it's hard for me Y/n...I-I can't buy you things I can't by my mom my little siblings anything, that makes me feel like shit. I shouldn't have talked or done that to you" I sat up and wrapped my arms around his shoulders from the side "I like getting you stuff I don't want anything from you..thank you for saying sorry" I kissed his shoulder. He laid next to me "i'm sorry but I gave that bag to Nate" I said looking at him "you did?" he smiled I nodded he shook his head "that was a nice bag" "no duh" I said he pecked my lips "love you i'm sorry again" "love you too Nicky" .

Hi bestie!!! I feel like I’m speaking for everyone when I say we NEED more of the sb AU 🥺 would you wanna tell us about the first date/meeting they’d have where they officially proposition Kam to be their sugar baby? Who does more of the talking? How many courses does it take before Kam explodes from dame’s intensity? The people need to know 😌💕

hi bestie!! sure thing, here's a little prompt just for you 🥰😌

--

Kam was slowly realizing what he had gotten himself into as he sat at a table of one of the most exclusive restaurants in all of Paris.

He didn't expect much from the hookup with the two women from a week prior, but when he had been offered the opportunity to see them again, he couldn't possibly refuse it.

He sat opposite Paloma and Dame as the redhead ordered everyone's food.

He felt severely underdressed with his simple shirt and jeans, especially compared to what the other two were wearing.

Paloma was wearing a burgundy satin blouse, almost strategically unbuttoned to the point where a red lace bra peeped through. He had taken a peek at her legs when he was being escorted to the private balcony table, his eyes briefly landing on her pencil skirt and heels.

Dame, on the other hand, seemed to still be wearing what Kam assumed was her work attire, a black matching pantsuit.

She looked even more intimidating than Kam remembered her being.

"You were saying you work at a restaurant, chéri?" Paloma's sultry voice got a hold of Kam's attention.

"Uh, yeah," he blushed at the sudden attention, "I have a morning shift at a pâtisserie, helping out a friend there, and a night one at a restaurant, both in Le Marais area".

"Le Marais? Quite a lovely area, didn't you just cook up a distributing deal there?" Paloma asked, turning her attention to Dame as the latter waited for her glass to be filled by the sommelier.

"That's correct," it was the first time Dame had spoken ever since he had arrived. Her voice sounded even better than he remembered.

"I hope you don't mind I ordered for you too, chéri, force of habit since I always do it for Dame, she isn't one to talk much," she gave him a small wink, prompting the slightest scoff from the brunette.

Kam reassured it was fine by him, he wasn't sure he would have brought himself to order anything after glancing over the prices.

He managed to keep a steady conversation going with Paloma, with the occasional comment added in by Dame as they waited for their food.

There was something about the brunette that intimidated and turned him on at the same time, more than he would like to admit.

"What do you do, Paloma? You mentioned having lots of important clients, but that doesn't help to narrow it down".

"Me? I work as a lawyer, I mostly take civil cases, though, running my own firm is work enough," she answered as she took the first bite of her lunch, effortlessly twirling the spaghetti around her fork.

It took a moment for it to hit Kam, finally realizing why the redhead had a familiar aura about her.

"Wait! You're Nicky Doll's lawyer! The one that helped her win her case against her ex-husband a few years ago! I remember it being all over the news when it first happened!"

Paloma gave him a warm smile, "Aren't you a smart little cookie?" she praised him, a tingle running down Kam's back as he heard her, "You'd be correct. Nicky is a longtime friend of mine and it was a pleasure to help her".

She leaned back on her chair before continuing, "Now that you reminded me, I should absolutely invite her over for brunch next time she's in town. I bet her daughter is so grown up by now".

While Paloma was distracted by her thoughts, Kam took the opportunity to build up the courage to speak to Dame directly.

The brunette was intent on cutting her medium-rare steak, taking her time with each bite.

"And, uh, what do you do? Paloma mentioned distributing deals..."

"Martin & co. Cellar," she simply replied as she took another bite.

"Oh, you work for them?" Kam was familiar with the wine company. The restaurant he worked at offered a small selection of their wines and they all ran on the pricier side.

"Actually, I own the company".

Kam almost choked on his lunch, not expecting that reply. Dame was rich, and he was probably making a fool of himself for not knowing who she was.

He tried to apologize but was stopped by a slight gesture from the brunette. He swore he saw her smile.

"It's alright, it's... nice to not be known by someone before we meet for once," she said, her light blue eyes keeping the eye contact with Kam's brown ones.

Paloma came to his rescue, turning the conversation on a different topic that was sure to capture the blond's interest.

"Now that we got the basics out of the way, I'm guessing you're curious to know why we wanted to meet up with you again after our little... fun night," she started, leaning in to refill Kam's glass of champagne.

"You see, chéri, Dame and I are always looking for ways to... you could say, enrich our time and that's where you'd come in".

"Why me?"

"Call it a connection, but when we saw you at the club last week, both of us just felt like we had to know you more," she rested her chin on her hand, "Of course, if you want us to".

Kam's eyes darted from Paloma to Dame, shy from the attention, "How exactly would you like to know me more?"

"I'll admit that the moment I saw you, all I wanted to do was spoil you," Paloma smiled, her red lips showing off a genuine smile, "I brought up the idea to Dame, and she agreed she also would like to do so too. Truth be told, she scheduled this little meeting today".

"What would I have to do in exchange for that?"

"Nothing you aren't comfortable with, of course, anything money can buy is yours as long as you ask one of us for," she explained as she was interrupted by a phone ringing.

Dame quickly answered the call in English - probably the hottest Kam's heard her sound - before she excused herself to the other side of the balcony.

"We've already had our fun last week, chéri, and you can experience it as many times as you'd like. Or maybe just spend some time with us if you accept our offer. It's your call and we'll respect your decision," she finished her pitch, her hand slowly caressing Kam's.

"I... I have to think about it," he admitted, slightly biting his lower lip. He didn't want to sound ungrateful for the opportunity, but he also couldn't jump into something just because Paloma and Dama were the two hottest women he had ever met.

"You don't have to answer us now, you have our numbers. One call or text when you have your decision will be enough".

Kam nodded appreciatively, just as Dame walked back to their table with a sigh.

"I have to go, they need me at the office, sorry," she said to Paloma, leaning over to kiss the redhead on the lips as the latter cupped her cheek with one hand, "I apologize to you too, Kam, I'll leave you to Paloma, I'm sure she'll be able to keep you company".

She straightened herself, walking up to Kam as she rested her hand on one of his shoulders, gently squeezing it.

"You'll have to make up for it tonight, chou," Paloma told her before Dame took her stuff and walked away.

There was a moment of silence before Paloma broke the silence once again, "She means well".

"What?"

"Dame, I could see it all over your face that you were scared to make a poor impression on her. She looks intimidating, but once you get to know her, she's one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. Also, she likes you already, no need to worry".

"I didn't mean to-".

Paloma smiled, "I know, just putting it out there," she reached for the bottle once again, pouring herself another glass, "Champagne?"

Kam started for a moment on the newly empty chair before he reached for his glass, "I'd love some".

-

Another few days had gone by before Kam felt ready to give Paloma an answer.

The redhead ended up driving him home after their lunch, worrying he had drank a bit too much to be walking back to his apartment alone.

He felt like he couldn't pass onto the opportunity they had given him.

He settled on giving Paloma a call during his evening off from work.

"This is Paloma Bardin speaking," the older woman's voice made him sit up.

"Hi, yeah, this is Kam?"

"Oh my, hello there, chéri, I've been waiting for your call".

"You have?"

"Why, of course, I have. I'm guessing you have an answer for us?"

He nodded, even if she couldn't see him, "I had the day off today so I had a lot of time to think about it and... I accept your offer".

"Exquisite, I knew you would make the right choice, chéri," he could feel her smile over the phone, "Are you home right now?"

"Yeah, why?"

His phone went quiet for the next ten minutes. Then his doorbell rang.

He went up to open his door, finding Paloma on the other side. She towered over him with her heels, her body wrapped in a heavy coat left open to reveal an outfit similar to the one he had seen her in at the restaurant.

"Would you like to have a taste of your newfound lifestyle?"

All Kam could do was nod before Paloma closed up the space between them, her lips on his as she closed the door behind her.

No-one Fucks With The Lobos - Chapter 7

Teddy is a sweetheart.

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48070186/chapters/121826104#workskin

Or enjoy it here!

Teddy turned to me, eyes betraying the pure horror that he clearly felt. He was covered in blood, his face a little bruised where he’d taken a punch or two. He also had a cut on his arm, not so deep that it would hinder his movement, but enough that it bled. He inspected it, then shook his head and moved to me, throwing the gun down.

I’d half-expected him to grab me and do something to me, but he didn’t. He reached out a gentle hand and pushed my hair back from my face.

“I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I should have locked the doors. I never fucking thought anyone would come here without me… I didn’t fucking know Carl had a fucking key…” I shuddered, the adrenaline leaving me a quaking mess.

“I left,” I whispered. “I… m-my arm…” I mouthed the rest of the words.

“Shhh, shh, you’re safe now, (Y/N)… Are you hurt?” I nodded. But Teddy picked me up carefully and carried me through to his own bathroom, through his gorgeously large apartment which overlooked the city. He sat me down on a little chair in the corner, and stripped his own bloodied shirt off, revealing a toned, beautifully-tattooed chest. Turning the taps on, he ran a warm bath, adding the same soothing, cleaning liquid that turned the water a deep shade of orange. Something with a diluted iodine in, I think. But it smelled good and felt good. Teddy’s arm bled. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialled a number. “I’m gonna need a crew to my place. Yeah, I found the Mason brothers in here. Took ‘em out, of course.” He turned to look at me. “Dylan touched my stuff. I couldn’t let it fucking go. Look, just get me a crew. Six. Oh – and I had to take Carl out, too. He’s been leaking shit. Alright.”  He pocketed his phone again, sighing.

“You’re hurt,” I whimpered, clutching my stomach with my good arm.

“I’ve had way fucking worse,” Teddy chuckled, moving to me as the tub filled. “Look at the fucking mess they’ve made of you, (Y/N)… They’ve ruined my work of art…”

Truth was, I didn’t care about the cuts, or the scars. I cared more about the sexual assault. About the feeling of Dylan’s hands in me and on me. About the others who’d used me. Nicky… the feeling of him dying inside me, too. I cared about that. And as Teddy inspected the cuts on my legs, I burst into tears and curled away from him.

“Hey! Hey, (Y/N)…” Teddy held up his hands. “I’m not going to hurt you –“

“I c-can f-feel his hands on me, still!” I yelped, my voice a rasp. I chose to whisper, instead. Far less painful. “I c-can feel his hands on me! Both of them – T-Teddy, I’m sorry – I c-couldn’t fight them off!”

“(Y/N)! Jesus fucking Christ – I’m not angry with you, baby! Not about this!” His voice was painfully tender. He touched my shoulder lightly. “Did they hurt you anywhere else?” He pulled my face to look at him. I knew what he meant.

“N-no. Just… they just used me.” Teddy’s face was set. But the anger, he was right, wasn’t at me. He pressed his lips together, then licked them. His nose bled. God, he looked fucking stunning, beaten up like that. Especially knowing he’d ended six guys entirely alone… I felt safe with him. Teddy stood and turned the taps off, the bath now deep and full. Seriously, the tub was at least three times the size of the one he usually put me in. I looked around the room, the grey tiles edged with gold here and there, typical for the Lobo brand. Flashes of red here and there on the towels, the accents of it… Teddy. And the window gave way to a spectacular view of the city, too high up to be seen by anyone except the birds.

Teddy moved back to me and held out a hand. I gave him the one that wasn’t attached to a broken shoulder.

“Teddy… my shoulder… it… I d-don’t think it was set properly,” I whispered. Teddy let me go and inspected it.

“Shit… I usually get that right… it’s in there now. I’m sorry, (Y/N). I’ll get the doctor to come over, take a look.” He smiled at me. “Come on. Can you walk? Couple steps?” I uncurled myself and stood on shaky legs. I ignored the vile, vile fluids running down my leg. Teddy helped me into the tub, and shed his trousers and boxers, stepping in behind me. “C’mere.”

I sat down with him, leaning against him as he wrapped his arms around me. The water, deliciously warm and soothing, covered me. My ass was just on the bottom of the tub, it was so luxuriously deep. All the fears I’d had before melted away. The feeling of Teddy behind me, holding me, rubbing the blood from my body gently… God, it was heavenly. His legs were either side of me, so his body truly did encase mine. Even as his fingers met open wounds, the stuff in the water stung a little, but then the heat and Teddy’s touch relaxed me.

He cleaned my face off with a soft washcloth (fucking monogrammed with ‘TL’ in the corner), holding me up with a bent knee. I was resting against him, crossing his body, watching him. He inspected his work, putting the cloth back into the water. He’d killed six guys today, purely in revenge for being in his home… but also because they’d hurt me. He’d ended their lives because they’d hurt me. I’d have eventually processed it and would have healed, but he didn’t show them an ounce of fucking mercy.

Teddy fucking Lobo cared for me.

I reached beneath the water and took the cloth from him, wringing it out weakly with shaking hands. My shoulder was killing me, but I didn’t need to move it at all to take Teddy’s face and clean the blood off him, too. He let me, watching me, his hands keeping my body from slipping lower into the water, those rich, deep brown eyes on me the entire time. I cleaned his forehead first, gently swiping the blood from the cut just on his eyebrow. Someone wearing a ring had punched him pretty hard there, the imprint of it visible in the bruise, a gentle ‘M’ shape. I moved to his cheekbone, taking care of the blood that dripped there, too. Then his nose, barely breathing in case I hurt him.

“Does… it hurt?” I asked softly, as I swiped the cloth gently across a cut on his lip.

“Nah,” he murmured. “I’ve had worse. Asshole barely touched me.” I smiled at him faintly. “Am I good, or no?”

“You’re good.” He shifted himself a little, then plunged both hands beneath the water and splashed his face and hair a couple of times, shaking the water away. He blinked at me and leaned back, pulling me gently with him so I was lying against him again. The hot water was absolute bliss, and a soft moan escaped my lips.

“You know, (Y/N)… I wish we were doing this because of what I’d done to you.” Teddy trailed his fingertips along my good arm, and I took his hand. His tattoos… each one had a meaning to him, or so I’d heard.

“Don’t threaten me with a good time,” I murmured, tracing the dollar sign on his middle finger. “I love these.”

“My hands? Or my tattoos?”

“Yeah…” my mind was a touch foggy. Teddy chuckled, the rumble against my back sending little shivers down my spine. “Both. Both. I love both. And… and seeing that asshole holding your knives before… it felt wrong. It was so invasive…” Teddy pressed a kiss to my temple. They’re gone now. But I know what you’re telling me. I hear you. “Tell me about these?” I touched the dollar sign.

“Well… the dollar signs… I got those as a kid. I was fifteen. My first tattoos… pretty fucking cool, but I wouldn’t have done it these days.” He held both hands out in front of me, water dripping down them. “The diamond… that was from my first heist. We took out a jewellers in Baton Rouge. The owner had been skimming off my dad’s profits, so we fucking took his shit out.” Teddy stroked it. “I still got a ruby from that, actually. Looked pretty cool, so I asked dad if I could keep it, and he said yeah. This one…” he pointed at the R L on his left hand. “Is for my dad.”

“That’s the most obvious one,” I murmured, running my fingers over the ink. “I’m sorry you lost him, Teddy.”

“Eh, what are you gonna fucking do?” he sounded resigned, but like he’d processed it as much as he could. “This sleeve… this is just for fun. Whatever I’ve seen and liked. I wanted two wolf heads fighting, ‘cause it looked cool…” He explained each part of his tattoos on his hands, moving me to the side carefully to carry on with the ones on his chest. I traced the outline of the city as he explained that the city was his first love, his home, his blood. The crown was his crown, signifying his kingdom.

“Did they hurt?” I asked, fingering the one on his neck.

“Those did,” Teddy replied. “On my neck. Took a lot to get through it, actually. But after that, it was easy.” He swallowed, eyes on me still. I felt like a kitten crawling over a lion. Careful where I touched, careful where my hands went. Any moment, he could snap. But he didn’t. He wrapped his arm around my back, supporting me under the water, and draped the other over the edge of the bath, eyes still on me. I wanted to kiss him again. But I didn’t have the strength. And I didn’t want to push it. Instead, I rested my head against his damp shoulder, tracing the outline of one of the snarling wolf heads that covered most of his pec.

“Teddy… I… c-can I ask questions, now?”  

“Sure.”

“How long have you had me here?”

“Six weeks, baby.”

“Are… what are they saying about me, out there?” Teddy smiled languidly.

“Not much. They thought you’d died for a minute, in the restaurant. But then they didn’t find your body… fucking assholes.” He chuckled to himself. “And then they were looking for you. Couple of people said you’d probably show up in the river… Officer Quincy is convinced I’ve kidnapped you and trafficked you as a sex worker or some shit. She’s on my case again, actually.”

“Oh…”

“Not what you wanted to hear, baby?”

“I… I’d hoped… I don’t know.” And I didn’t know. I’d wanted the entire force to be looking for me. “That everyone would be looking for me.”

“We pay them to keep their noses out. You, Quincy and Chandler were the only ones who didn’t want to take payment. And look where it got you.”

I let that hang in the air for a little bit while I processed the fact that no-one was coming for me. No-one was going to find me. No-one knew where I was. If Rebecca thought I was trafficked, she’d have given up hope too.

No-one was looking for me.

What, then, was I fighting him for? If I wasn’t fighting for my freedom anymore, for a life back on the police force, for a life where I could make a difference for the better… what was my purpose fighting him? Not submitting to him? My sluggish, slow brain ticked over, landing as Teddy picked up the washcloth again and started trickling water over my scalp, into my hair.

What was in it for me, then?

As Teddy sat up a little and massaged a little shampoo into my hair, removing more blood, I allowed my thoughts to wander down that path, letting images drift lazily in front of my eyes as I closed them with Teddy’s touch.

Me and him in the kitchen having dinner, adjacent to each other, the room dimly-lit… and he’s telling stories of his work that day, where he’s helped people with his family’s money.

Him and me on the sofa, curled up under a blanket, watching a movie, his hand protectively on my side, me lying across his chest.

Both of us strolling along the riverfront, both our hands in his pocket where it’s warm, his breath forming in clouds as he laughs at one of my jokes.

Driving. Teddy driving that orange Dodge Challenger, going so fast through the streets we owned, burning doughnuts in an empty parking lot with music so loud, neither of us can think. Driving along the streets slowly, just enjoying the places we pass. Driving, until I stop him and demand he pulls the seat all the way back… Turn it off, baby, so I can turn you on.

In the shower together, him pressing me against the wall, eyes on me, holding my gaze, my name echoing from his lips around the cavernous bathroom…

A soft moan escaped my lips as Teddy massaged the base of my scalp, and he chuckled softly.

“Where’s that dirty little mind of yours going, (Y/N)?” he murmured, holding my head back while he rinsed my hair out.

His hands around my throat, possessive, controlling, but never ever deadly.

I shivered, a pain shooting through my shoulder.

“To the things I hope would be part of the deal, should I take a knee.”

His hands froze, and he shifted beneath me. He finished rinsing my hair after a moment, throwing the washcloth with a splat to the side. His hands traced a soft line down my wet throat, from my ear to my collarbone.

“You’re fucking thinking about it?” he whispered, his mouth by my ear.

“Mmm,” I murmured. “But if I give you that, Teddy… what’s in it for me?” I turned to face him, holding my injured arm still by holding onto the collarbone on my other side. He was wary of it, holding my waist in the spot where there were no bruises or wounds.

“What would you want?” I straddled him, his gaze fiery as he looked up at me.

“Something you wouldn’t be willing to give me.”

“Fucking try me,” he whispered. “I’ve got money. Jewels. Drugs. Whatever you could possibly want, baby.”

“Have the tables turned, Teddy?” I asked. I liked this. I was flirting that fine line between pissing him off enough that he’d leave my shoulder to rot in its socket, and turning him on to the point where he’d take both knees for me. At least, I hoped I was. Honestly, I had no idea how he was going to react.

“You think you’ll get it for free?” Teddy chuckled softly. “Baby! Oh, baby, you’ll get everything you want if you take the fucking knee and finally admit you’re fucking mine.”

“Yours… in what way?”

“Whatever way you want.”

“So it is my choice, in the end.” I licked my lips. “Either I be your queen to this empire… or I break your poor, dead little heart and become no more than a paid-up little nobody in a cute police uniform that, ultimately, means nothing on the streets of New Orleans…” Teddy stared at me, lips parting a little. “The real question, Teddy,” I breathed. “Is what you want me to be. Because depending on your answer there…” I trailed off, letting it hang in the air. Teddy swallowed. He took my chink between his finger and thumb and pulled me towards him, still careful of my shoulder. He pressed his forehead against mine.

“This,” he whispered, and kissed me softly, gently, carefully, asking for permission to deepen the kiss as he kept pulling back just a touch. I leaned into him, and he turned me slowly, so I was leaning against him on my good shoulder, lips still connected. I was looking up at him, now. He’d shifted the power hierarchy ever so subtly, but it was there. He kissed me again, his hand cupping my jaw, holding my head in place. He tasted incredible… and I felt my heartbeat spike, which sent me dizzy. When he finally broke the kiss, I was flushed. He took my hand, and linked my fingers with his long, beautiful ones. “Mine… and mine alone.” He took in my dazzled exterior, and laughed breathily. “What were those conditions, baby?”

“Just one,” I said softly, gazing up at him. He bit his bottom lip, as though tasting me off it. He pressed his forehead against mine. “Give up being a criminal.”

the whole nate thing is kinda random — like i understand them having the same outlook or whatever but they barely interacted throughout the season

honestly that is one of my complaints is that there were so many characters that i didn’t get attached to a whole lot of them or know much about them by the end

When We Were Once Happy: A Hello Neighbor Fanfic

By JJ

Summary: A story before Trinity moved to Raven Brooks.

Chapter 7

Tomorrow at school, Nicky walked down the hall, totally confused to why everyone was staring at him. Not only that, some didn't even dare to look at him, and some were giving him worried looks. Nicky tried not to pay any mind to it and just kept walking to his next class. He could hear some people mumbling about him.

"Didn't you hear? The new kid is hanging out with Peterson."

"I didn't think he was that desperate for friends."

"I almost feel bad for him."

"Not me. He got himself into that mess, he'll probably die the first thing within their friendship."

"Oh that poor kid is going to get eaten alive."

He tried not to pay any mind to it, and just tuned everything out.

"Join the Inventor's Club today!"

Nicky turned to see a group of people. Two he recognized, the other one he didn't. He went to the table they were standing at, and grabbed one of their fliers.

"Inventor's Club? Sounds like fun."

Nicky tilted his head up to see the group looking at him, giving him the same looks everyone else was giving him in the hall today.

"Okay, why is everyone staring at me? Do I have something on my face or something?"

The group didn't answer him.

Just then, Lucy came out of the girls bathroom and walked over to the table. "Hey guys! How're sign ups going?", she asked before she noticed Nicky standing there.

"Hey! I know you! You're the one Aaron told us about. Nicky, right?", she asked. Nicky nodded.

"It's very nice to meet you, Nicky. My name's Lucy, and I'm the head of the Inventor's Club. Would you like to join?"

"Of course."

"Awesome! Just sign right here.", Lucy held up a sign in sheet and handed Nicky a pen.

Nicky took the pen and signed his name, earning a sweet smile from Lucy. "Thank you so much for your time, Nicky!", she said.

Nicky smiled back at her before heading to his next class. Before he continued facing all of the staring children.

After school, Nicky didn't even have a chance to go find Aaron before he was pulled behind a tree. "Hey! What's the big idea?!"

"Shh!", someone said, covering his mouth. It was a short, ginger haired boy with overalls and red glasses. "He might hear you!"

Nicky pushed the kid away, but he pushed himself into the arms of a girl. It was the same girl with the pink shirt and baseball cap and overalls.

"Listen, newbie. We just wanna talk."

The girl let go of Nicky. "About what?", he asked.

"About Aaron. You know him, don't you?", she asked.

"Yes. We met yesterday. I think we're friends now.", he replied. The two kids gave him a pitying look.

"What? Is something wrong with Aaron?"

"Something like that."

Nicky turned around to see the same boy from yesterday, with a red sweater and round glasses. He too had the same look of pity on his face. "He's the scariest dude in this school, possibly in all of Raven Brooks. Next to his father."

Nicky didn't get it.

"Why?"

They all stayed quiet for a minute before speaking up.

"Aaron has a long history at this school. None of it admirable. Just ask Principal Abanate, she could get you his permanent record.", said the ginger haired boy.

"He punched Seth Jenkins in the face and broke his nose.", said the boy in the red sweater.

"He stabbed Gordon Cleave, the guy who works at the Raven Brooks Banner. In the ankle.", said the girl in the pink baseball cap.

"He nearly sliced Finch's throat open!", the ginger haired boy nearly shouted.

Nicky crossed his arms, "Yeah, but that was because she was making fun of me! You can't lie and tell me she didn't deserve it.", he said.

"He's a psychopath! I'm surprised he's friends with Lucy. Hell, I'm surprised he has a sister like Mya. Aaron has corrupted those two little girls and made them believe whatever he was doing was the right thing!", said the girl.

If Nicky wasn't angry before, he was sure angry now. "Listen, I know Aaron is weird, but it's good weird. He just loves his family, and would do anything to protect them!", he barely knew he was shouting until he took in a large deep breath.

"I won't stand here and listen to you badmouth Aaron."

The ginger haired boy widened his eyes at him. "HE'S GOT YOU TOO! AAAAAAHHHHHH!", the boy started running in circles and screaming. The boy in the red sweater paid no mind to him, and just put a hand on Nicky's shoulder.

"Just watch your back around him. Okay?", he asked.

Nicky wanted to slap his hand off, but instead he just nodded and walked away.

Why was everyone so scared of Aaron? Is it so wrong for someone to be protective of their family and friends? Even if his threats are a little extreme. Of course, he didn't agree with him nearly killing someone, but he didn't think he deserved all of this mean stuff said behind his back.

Those kids sounded so much like his grandmother, telling him to stay away from something because they thought it was either cursed or evil.

But he didn't care. Whether or not Aaron was a little overprotective, he was his friend.

(thanks for the prompt @gingerly-writing ;)) )

. . .

The Crowfeather, which Nicky had come to learn was actually named Jonathan, stared at him with wide eyes only partially hidden by a masquerade-resembling mask. "I'm sorry, what?"

Nicky shrugged as best he could in the ropes keeping him held down to a chair, "Um... yeah? I don't get what's so crazy?"

"You're saying that Candlelight, the hero," Jonathan laughed under his breath, "Can't even feed his kid?"

"Well, he can."

"Kid, that makes it worse."

Nicky tilted his head. Was it really? His new father knew he was as street rat before he took him in- hell, Candlelight literally found him in a sewer!- So not eating wasn't a novelty.

"My God," Crowfeather tore off his mask. Nothing special was being hidden. It was mostly for the aesthetic of a man with large black feathers and bird following him around in a classy white-and-black suit and mask. It had an aura of mystery that even Nicky found himself intrigued by. Jonathan contemplated his fate. Maddie would be furious...

"Okay, kid- Nicky, right?- Medusa is gonna have my head for this, but... do you want to get, like, I dunno, a burger or something?"

Nicky blinked. A villain was offering him free food. A villain. Was giving him. Free food. Crowfeather. Dad's mortal enemy. Free burgers and milkshakes.

....

So that's how they ended up here, in a greasy diner that Crowfeather had attacked just five minutes before Nicky walked in. The only living things left inside were said two, about 3 dozen crows under Jonathan's command, and the poor kitchen staff under the threat of their eyes being poked out if they didn't make a triple patty burger with large fries, a large soda, and a large chocolate milkshake.

Nicky was currently stuffing his face with it.

"So, your dad never brought you to here?" Jonathan asked, gently sipping his sweet tea. Candelight would be here any minute...

"Never had time to go to Superburger. Or anywhere, really. As soon as he gets home I'm either asleep or he falls asleep on me," Nicky explained as he stuffed a handful of fries dipped in a milkshake into his mouth, "Som," He chewed, "I kimda jmst gave ump." A rat scuttled onto the table and Nicky happily gave Rascal his well-earned fry. Jonathan watched for just a moment. He could control birds. A street rat kid could control rats. Made sense to him. He learned to stop questioning the weird a while ago.

"That's... depressing," Crowfeather whispered. Nicky still didn't understand. He had clothes (his favorite was his currently worn Sonic shirt), he had a roof, and he knew how to feed himself (for the most part. TV dinners and takeout were as best as he could do). That was enough for someone who came from nothing. He really should've been thanking Candlelight every day, but there wasn't a good time to. There was never enough time to do anything with him.

A flame burst into the room and knocked down the door. Feathers scattered in everything direction as the birds and Crowfeather tried to avoid incineration. "Move!" Jonathan grabbed a hold of Nicky and threw him out of the way as the bold and blonde Candlelight emerged from the fire, his feet hovering inches off the ground. He was the superhero. Flight, control of flames, big muscles, and a blue button up with a white cape. The girls wanted him and the boys... also wanted him. His blonde hair and blue eyes shone in the light of the blaze.

"Crowfeather," Candelight growled as he scanned the room. His gaze softened just slightly when he found an olive-skinned boy with fluffy brown hair safe in a bed of feathers. "Son?"

Nicky held his beloved rat close to his chest, then grinned at the sight of his dad, "Oh, hey! Nice to see you again!"

"Where did the Crowfeather go?" He asked, before clearing his throat, "I'm glad your safe, my boy."

"Well, he was just right-" Nicky pointed to the booth was a knocked over milkshake and fries that spilled onto the floor. It was empty. "Oh... He must've left."

"Of course," His dad grumbled, "What a pain. Do you know which way he went, son?"

"Uh, probably that way?" Nicky pointed towards a smashed window.

"Thanks, Nick!"

"Wait!" Before he could even blink, Candlelight was gone.

He... His name was Nicky. Austin knew that, right? I mean, he was his dad, right? "I don't know the way home from here..." Nicky whispered to a lonely, burnt burger joint.

All that was left was Nicky, his rat, and the remains of his first lunch out. Nicky slowly sat on the booth and picked up the milkshake. Not much was left after one of the crows had knocked it over in it's attempt to flee. Nicky sighed and finished the rest. The rat crawled onto his shoulder, offering his master a crumb of the flipped burger. Nicky smiled, but just for a moment.

Then, he felt something perch on his other shoulder. A single crow, staring at him with dead eyes. Nicky saw his own reflection in it. Candelight said something about Crowfeather being able to spy on people through the eyes of his crows...

The bird offered him a fry that dangled from it's mouth. Nicky laughed and took it. Free food, right? "I didn't get to thank you, earlier," Nicky said to the bird, hoping Jonathan could hear him, "So, um, thank you. Not for the kidnapping, though. That part kind of sucked," He chuckled. "Maybe next time we can just get lunch together like normal people. If you can find the time..."

Nicky sighed as his father's words rung through his head. There was never enough time. He threw the fry into his mouth. This time, the bird waited until Nicky waved him goodbye before he glided out the shattered window.

Prompt #3338

“When did you last eat?”

“Uh…yesterday? At breakfast.”

“Shit, kid. You’re telling me you’ve eaten more during this kidnapping than you do at home?” The villain’s eyes narrowed. “Disordered eating, or lack of food?”

They swallowed. “Well dad doesn’t have much time to go food shopping, what with defeating you and saving the world, so…I make do. Mostly. Your chocolate cake is nice though.”

Boat Day~ H.H

Dad!harry holland x reader

Summary: y/n, Harry, and Wren have a nice day on the boat

a/n: I named your baby Wren :)Also, click this link to see Wren’s outfit

Warning: shity fic with no plot;)

Harry was thrilled to introduce his baby girl to Italy, and surprisingly Wren had no trouble adapting to Italy.

Today was the last day in Italy so, Harry had rented out a boat for the day. Tom had joined you, saying that he could take care of Wren while you and Harry went jet skiing.

Y'all had gotten to the dock around 10:00 AM, Wren was happy babbling to you about god knows what, Tom and Harry went on to check out the boat. The four of you got settled in, you gave Tom all of Wren’s necessities.

The instructor gave you guys a quick synopsis of what to do and what not to do.

You and Harry were off having the time of your lives, “lets head back, yeah? The current is getting strong,” Harry yells over the wind and the waves.

You nod turning the jet ski the other way, you turned the jet ski’s in and made your way to the boat.

When you got to the boat Tom and Wren were dancing around the boat.

Wren was excited to see her mum and dad stretching out and doing grabby hands towards her dad. Her father complied taking her from his brother’s arms

“Hi, darling,” he says brushing her curls out of her face.

“Hi Wren,” you say kissing her cheek.

“Oh, no hi, Tom! Thank you for taking care of our child,” Tom mumbles to himself.

“Thanks, mate I really appreciate it,” Harry says patting Toms back, he smiles and then says “I’m going to take a nap,” he yawns, “That kid has too much energy,”

“Come on, Wren let's go get some lunch,” you say plucking her out of her dad’s arms. Y’all had taken off already the captin had told you that as soon as you and Harry got on the boat we would be smooth sailing.

You had brought a basket of all kinds of fruits and sandwiches. You had decided that you would set up lunch at the head of the boat so you could see the ocean while you ate.

You had set up Wren on a towel while you got all the food set up. Her eyes light up at the sight of her father walking towards her.

Ohh, what are we eating?” Harry asks rubbing his hands together. He’s changed out of his swimwear and is now wearing a t-shirt with some shorts.

“fruit and sandwiches,” you smile up at him, he smiles leaning down and pecking your lips.

“Wren, you hungry?” you ask putting some slices of watermelon and a sandwich cut into squares on her plate.

She nods her doe eyes looking up at you, you missed the loving gaze Harry sent you. He was admiring you, you looked absolutely from your swimsuit to his old worn-out hoodie that fits you just right, to the way your hair flowed in the wind, and you being so sweet with your baby girl. It made his heart swell.

Harry joins you guys sitting next to you. You eat in comfortable silence with the occasional screech of Wren when she sees a fish flopping out of the sea.

After lunch, Wren fell asleep to the quiet hum of the boat you were sitting on the couch outside, her head was on your chest.

Harry snaps a photo of his girls, he sits down next to you.

“Thank you, my love,” he kisses you.

You giggle pulling away “for what?” you look at him.

“For this little bundle of joy, and for everything you’ve done, he kisses you again, “I love you so fucking much Y/n” he whispers.

“I love you too, Harry,” you whisper kissing his cheek, you rest your head on his shoulder with a sigh of relief.

Haikyuu!! Boys as Bad Dad moments

Characters: Akaashi, Washio, Konoha, Kita, Suna, Ushijima, Yahaba, Iwaizumi, Futakuchi, Daishou and Numai

**These are ways they “failed” as fathers. I am not talking about ACTUALLY failing as fathers, just things dads have done that most of us either remember/get told about NOT TO BE TAKEN  S E R I O U S L Y  it is just for      f u n  I also gave them all at least 2 kids cause SibLiNgS**

A ‘*’ means it happened to me lol

TW- Mentions of giving too much medicine, accidental pain caused to child, these are things I either experienced/knew people who experienced them, allusion to cursing/a FEW bad words (but I substitute a letter for something else :)

*Akaashi Keiji: 

He had been working in his office when his son had come in.

You had been putting your newborn to sleep for a nap when your son decided he wanted to be with his dad.

His son was only 3, so when Akaashi was held up in his office editing his son, Kenji, would sometimes come in and plop himself in Akaashi’s lap.

His sons small feel padded on the floor while he made his way to his father, softly tugging on his pants as he stuck his arms up.

Akaashi smiled and softly chuckled before gently picking up his son from under his arms and placing him on his lap.

He got to work soon after, reading and revising the pages.

Other than having his son on his lap it wasn’t unusual for him to be drinking coffee while working.

Keep in mind, your son had inherited a lot from Akaashi, and not just his looks or personality.

But also his habits.

Because of this, your son was very fidgety, usually toying with a string or your fingers.

That meant he tended to move around a lot.

Akaashi had just lifted his not-so-cold coffee to his lips when his son had made a sudden movement, causing him to knock his arm and, “AHH” Akaashi’s eyes snapped open as his son started crying, cursing under his breath he stood up gently holding his son in his arms as he carried him to the bathroom.

Sitting him down on the counter he dried the coffee off of his son, luckily it hadn’t been hot enough to burn him, but it was still hot enough to hurt.

“What happened? I heard crying, is he okay?” Akaashi sighed as he ran a hand through his hair.

“Yeah, he’s okay, he bumped my arm and I spilled my coffee on him. He’s okay! It didn’t burn him, but it did hurt...” Your frowned as you stood in front of your son, giving him a soft smile before kissing his arm, cause kisses always make it feel better~

You carefully picked him up from the counter, rocking him slowly side to side as he burrowed into your shoulder.

“Are you okay little man~” He nodded as he sniffled into your shoulder, little hands clutching onto the fabric of your t-shirt.

“You know daddy didn’t mean it, it was an accident.” He nodded again, lifting his head to rub his eyes and reach out for his dad.

Akaashi gave a wobbly smile before reaching over to grab him, kissing the top of his head as he carried him back to his office, making sure to have some iced coffee instead.

Washio Tatsuki: 

This would be the first time Washio was left alone with the twins.

5 months ago, you and your husband had had your first children, your adorable fraternal twins Natsuki and Tatsuo.

Today would be the first day you would be away from them, but with your mother being sick and you being the only one available to take care of her you had to go.

You weren’t too worried about your husband, he was already a good dad so you had no doubt they were in good hands.

But it was never an enjoyable experience to have to leave your kids, especially your babies, and for the first time. 

So, you decided to leave early in the morning, give them their good morning kisses and head over to your parents house.

Before you left you changed their diapers, letting them play in their little play pen while your husband tried to get up.

Rubbing his eyes Washio walked into the play room.

He had to go to the gym today for a meeting, fortunately EJP had a really good daycare system in the stadium, so he could leave his kids there while he attended the short meeting.

He stopped in his tracks as his face blanched and he felt his breath stop.

You had changed the twins’ diapers...but you hadn’t dressed them.

The twins were still young, so without looking at their, uh, biological differences you couldn’t tell them apart....

Now, usually when this happened you guys would just check the diapers, but you had just done them..

And he was already running a bit late.

So, he made his best guess, got them dressed (one in pink, the other in blue), fed and in the car driving them to the stadium.

Once he got there he quickly dropped them off, rushing to his meeting.

The meeting had been fairly simple, just some pre-season info he’d need.

After chatting with his coach/teammates, and stopping Suna and Komori from pulling a prank, he made his way back to the daycare.

He walked into the building when one of the younger care takers, Yui, walked up to him, One twin in each arm.

He smiled as he carefully put them into their carriers.

“Uhm, just a question...” He looked up to her and motioned for her to continue.

“...Were you aware that Tatsuo was wearing the dress?” Washio sighed as he ran a hand down his face shaking his head. Yui light heartedly smiled, “Don’t worry, we switched them.” Thanking them, he picked up his babies and went home.

He was not prepared for the way you cackled when he told you what happened.

*Konoha Akinori: 

You had gone away for a business trip, leaving your husband Konoha home with your 3 kids. (You guys have 2 girls and a boy)

Your middlest child, your son Akira, had recently come down with a cold making the poor thing miserable when he tried to sleep.

Being the good dad that he is, he gave his son some benadryl!

The next morning he woke up, and after letting his kids sleep in for a little bit he woke them up too.

...two of them.

He tried several times to get his son to leave his bed, but the little kid couldn’t so much as swing one foot over the side of his bed with out falling asleep again.

He didn’t think too much of it, the kid had a cold after all.

So he let him sleep for another hour or so before making him get up for real.

A day later you got home, and everything was pretty much normal.

Until you went to put your son to bed, and realized he had crashed on the couch.

“...Uhm, Akinori?” Your husband lifted his head at your voice, setting the dishes in the sink and drying his hands with a towel as he made his way over to you. 

“Yeah babe?” You took a look over towards your son before looking back to your husband.

“...Has Akira been like that all weekend?” Konoha ran his hand through his hair as he sighed. “No, only since Saturday. He wasn’t feeling good so I gave him some benadryl, he’s been dead to the world since.” You slowly nodded.

“Uhm, Akinori?” He raised an eyebrow at you. “How much benadryl did you give him?”

He left to grab the box, coming back with it in his hand as he continued to look at it.

He shook his head in confusion. “I gave him the amount the box said, 1 teasp-”- He paused.

Uh oh.

He in fact, had not given his son a teaspoon of benadryl.

He had given him a tablespoon.

*Kita Shinsuke: 

You had to leave early one morning for a doctors appointment; you were pregnant with you and Kita’s second child. 

Usually for these appointments Kita’s grandmother would watch your 3 year old daughter Kyoka.

But she had something to do that morning so Kita was the one responsible for getting her ready for preschool.

Kita was a good father so you weren’t worried.

You knew she would be put together, fed, and on time.

There was just one thing you couldn’t account for.

“Daddy?” Kita looked away from the mirror he was shaving in and down to his daughter, washing away the traces of shaving cream. “Yes sweetheart?”

She held out her small hand, 2 bright pink hair ties with little butterfly charms on them held out in her palm.

“Can you do my piggy tails please?” His eyes widened.

He hadn’t done hair...like...ever.

But from the puppy eyes his little princess was giving him, how could he not do it?!

Plus, it couldn’t be that hard...right? I mean, he had watched you do it plenty of times, and it was pretty straight forward.

Sitting down on the edge of the bed he had her stand on the ground in front of him.

He grabbed her brush and put the two hair ties she had given him on his wrist.

He brushed her hair and parted it as evenly as he could, trying to be gentle in the process.

Now time for the pig tails..

He pulled her hair back, trying to make it tight to it would stay.

...But he might have made it a little too tight.

He turned her around and realized he had made them way too tight.

Not only did her hair look like he had slicked it back with x4 strength hair gel, but it was so tight that her eyebrows had been stuck way up on her forehead.

He was quick to turn her back around, loosening the hair ties so she looks like a 3 year old again.

His face turned undeniably red as he told you what happened later that night, you light heartedly laughing at his misfortune.

Suna Rintaro: 

Suna had just gotten out of practice, and now he was on the way to his kids school. 

You and Suna had 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 

The youngest 2 had a doctor’s appointment earlier that day, which you had taken them too. Meaning Suna needed to pick the older 2 up from elementary school.

He had been listening to music, his music to be specific.

He had pulled into the parking lot, changing the playlist to a kid friendly one right before his children got in the car.

After they had told him about their days, and he had told about his, he switched back on the music.

It had been fine for a song.

Until he realized that he had a few songs qued.

The fun little song had just ended when the bass dropped, the color draining from his face as soon as the song started.

The mentioned song being “Big Bank” by YG, 2 Chainz, Big Sean and Nicki Minaj of course~.

He was quick to turn the radio off, waiting until he could pull over, empty the que, and turn on kid friendly music.

He told the kids to ‘forget what they heard’ and he continued on his drive home.

Now, you’ve got to remember, his daughter is in kindergarten and his son is in 2nd grade, so they’re still kind of at that “monkey see, monkey do” age range.

Or rather, “monkey hear, monkey repeat.”

He thought it was gonna be okay, they were good kids so he figured telling them to forget they even heard it, they would let it go.

There was just one thing about his children that he didn’t account for.

As obedient and well behaved as his children were, they were also very curious.

That night at dinner they had all been sat down at the table, eating dinner and talking about their days. 

You had been feeding your infant son while Suna had been watching the 3 year old, the other 2 older children happily eating their food. Until...

“Hey mommy?” You looked at your daughter with a smile, “Yes baby?” She continued to eat her dinner, “What’s a b!tch?” Your eyes widened as your husband choked on his food, your baby laughing at the scene before him.

Hitting his chest and taking a sip of water Suna tried to catch his breath.

“Nezuko we don’t say that, where did you hear that?!” She tilted her head as she looked at you confused before turning to look at Suna, pointing a small finger at him.

“It was on the radio, daddy told us to ‘forget’ but I didn’t know what it meant...What does it mean?” You sent a glare towards your husband as you sighed.

After explaining to your daughter why it was bad to say those things and not to repeat everything she heard you cleaned up your kids and put them to bed.

...You had quite the conversation with your husband later that night.

Ushijima Wakatoshi: 

Ushijima had been on grocery duty this week since you had a meeting with a friend.

He had the Friday off, and since you weren’t home he took the kids with him.

Now, I would like you to know that you guys have 6 kids. S I X.

Growing up with no siblings and divorced parents, Ushijima wanted to make sure none of his kids were lonely.

Originally you guys had two, each kid had a buddy.

...but then you had a third, and you couldn’t just leave him alone...

so you had another...then another...

And now you guys have 6. But it’s okay cause you both love kids anyway~

He was doing his best, he truly was. He had his 2 youngest sitting in the little seat by the handle bar, 2 kids in the basket, 1 hanging onto the side and the oldest walking alongside him.

When they got to check out he had to take one of the kids out of the basket, so he opted for his 3rd oldest, his son Kazue, figuring he was older so it’d be a-okay.

He checked out his extensive amount of groceries before loading them up into his car, and his kids.

He pulled out of the grocery store parking lot and got on the road, his kids singing along to the radio and chatting amongst themselves.

They had been driving for 6 minutes when his oldest child, Ren, spoke up. “Uh, dad?” He hummed, briefly checking the rear view mirror before returning his gaze to the road. “When are we going back to get Kazue?” His face lost all color as his eyes widened.

As swiftly and safely as he could he pulled over to the side of the road, whipping around in his seat to take a head count. ‘1..2..3..4..5...oh sh-’ Turning back around he got back onto the road, taking the nearest u-turn and rushing back to the store. 

Unbuckling his kids from their carseats he hurried them back into the store, his oldest holding the 2nd borns hand, as he held all 3 of the younger ones in his arms.

He frantically entered the store, almost collapsing with relief when he saw his son sat at the customer service desk with the security guard, eating a lollipop before smiling when he saw his dad come to pick him up.

After giving proof that yes, he was his father, he took all of his kids back home after getting them some ice cream.

...this would be one conversation he was not excited to have with you....

Yahaba Shigeru: 

Yahaba and his 2 sons had been hanging out in the living room while you finished making some snacks in the kitchen.

Yahaba had been trying to set up a DVD player, you guys were going to watch some home-videos from your high school days but they were all on CD.

So, after borrowing one from his parents house, he set out to hook it up to the TV.

...Which was proving much more difficult then he first anticipated.

His two boys, Itsuki (6) and Hayato (8) were in there with him, ‘helping’ as they had called it.

Yahaba groaned as he sat back, a hand ruffling through his hair as he racked his brain to think of the problem.

You had finished preparing everything so you came in, with the food, and set it down on the coffee table.

You came up behind your husband, kneeling down behind him and placing your hands on his shoulders.

“How’s it going?” He sighed, leaning back into you.

“Well, I think I know what I need to do, I’m going to have to stick my hand back there though. Hey Hayato, can you help me out buddy?” The 8 year old excitedly nodded.

“Great, I need you to hold this flashlight here, hold it steady okay?” Hayato nodded with a ‘Yup!’ before Yahaba laid down on his side, maneuvering to where he could see the back of the TV.

All had been going well, he had just got it hooked up, and after having you test it, it worked!

He tried to get himself out from behind the TV, until a sharp edge caught his finger.

“Sh!t!” Your eyes widened, “Shigeru!” He hadn’t realized his slip up until he was out from behind the TV, faced directly with your glare.

“Kids, don’t say that.” His youngest blinked at him. “But why?”.

Kneeling down in front of him Yahaba tried to explain, but it was a little hard when you were glaring holes into the back of his head and his oldest was giggling at the situation.

*Iwaizumi Hajime: 

It was a weekend in summer vacation, and you and your husband were both off work.

This meant, you guys got a whole day to spend with your 3 boys, and one of the things you guys loved to do as a family was play games.

On this particular afternoon, your sons had chosen to play twister.

You were a little skeptical because you had 3 competitive, rambunctious boys. 

And an equally competitive rambunctious husband.

But after getting 4 identical pouts you couldn’t say no...

But, you elected to be the spinner. (..for your own safety)

“Left hand, green.” This put your middlest son in quite the predicament.

The only space available was the Green directly by his fathers hand, meaning he’d have to crawl under Iwaizumi.

“Okay Hajime, right hand, yellow.” Iwaizumi grimaced as he tried to reach it.

 This wasn’t good, the mat was slick, his hands were sweating-

“oOf” Before he could catch himself he had completely lost his balance, landing right on his son.

You gasped in horror as you saw the life get squeezed out of your 5 year old, scrambling from where you sat to check on your now pancaked son.

“...Hiro..are you okay..?” 

His small head shot up with a “I’m okay!” Before he, albeit wearily, stood up brushing off his godzilla t-shirt before continuing on with his life.

You took a deep breath as you sat back down, flashing a warning look towards your husband who sheepishly smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

And after checking that yes, your son really was okay, you guys continued on with some...safer games.

Futakuchi Kenji: 

You had left for a weekend visit to see your parents in your hometown, leaving your husband and Your 3 girls alone.

It was a friday night, so after having a less than healthy dinner, ice cream and a fair amount of other sweets, Futakuchi figured a movie before bed would be a good way to finish off the night.

He scrolled through netflix trying to find a movie he could watch with his girls.

“Daddy, can we watch snow white?!” Futakuchi looked down at his oldest, Hayami, before he shrugged. “Sure.”

He may be a guy, but he was not above watching princess movies if it meant his babies were happy. Besides, it was a disney movie, what bad could be in it!

Everything was going swell, until the witch showed up.

He felt the sick feeling of dread in his stomach as soon as he felt his middlest curl in tight to his side, his youngest hopping off of the couch and climbing into his lap.

...Disney SHOULD have been a safe bet, but with the way his 3 girls were clinging onto him for dear life, he probably should have previewed it first..

That night he put them to bed, reading them a quick story before giving them each a kiss on their forehead and tucking them into bed. 

15 minutes.

15 minutes of almost sleep when he heard you guys’ bedroom door creak open, 3 sets of little feet pad over to his side of the bed.

“...daddy..?” He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes as he opened them, brown eyes meeting the teary ones of his 3 children as they stood there. Speaking in as soft of a voice as he could he tried not to sound as tired as he knew he was.

“What is it munchkin?” His daughters all fidgeted where they stood, fiddling with the hems of their princess night gowns as they stood there.

“...We’re scared...can we sleep with you..?” Knowing he wouldn’t be able to get them to sleep like you could, and being incredibly tired himself he moved to the side, opening the covers and making room for all 3 of his princesses.

...This was going to be a long night for him.. 

Daishou Suguru: 

Daishou had been playing outside with his kids, his 2 year old son Kento and his 5 year old daughter Shizuko.

His son was sat on his shoulders, one of Daishou’s hands wrapped firmly around the boys ankles while the other pushed his daughter on the swing.

You had been inside getting dinner ready while they had been outside; smiling fondly at the smiles that were plastered on their faces.

When dinner had finished you walked to the sliding glass door, opening it and calling to them. “Dinners ready! Come inside and wash up so we can eat.” Your daughter and husband replied with ‘okay!’ as you went back to get plates. 

Slowing down the swing Daishou brought it to a stop so Skizuko could safely get off.

In all honesty, he was a good dad.

He was very mindful of his children and their surroundings, so they didn’t get hurt too often.

He was also very careful not to accidentally hurt them.

But accidents happen.

Walking to the back door, he, somehow either forgot or the thought didn’t register in his mind that his son was still perched on his shoulders.

He didn’t remember until a loud *whack!* was heard, and his sons cries sounded above him.

..He had tried going inside, through the door, with his son on his shoulders.

Bringing him down from his shoulders he quickly brought him inside to set him down on the counter, you almost screaming when you saw the bruise forming on his little forehead.

“Ah-wha-how- SUGURU! What happened?!”

Groaning Daishou gently put a small ice pack on his sons head, “...He whacked his head on the door frame...” You looked at him, “And how did he do that?”

Daishou sighed as he looked down, grimacing at the purple mark already present on his sons head.

...For the next few nights the couch became a good friend of his.

Numai Kazuma: 

Today was your son, Kazuya’s birthday. Today he would be turning 1.

Kazuya was the first, and so far only child you had with your husband of 3 years Kazuma Numai.

You and Numai were still learning how to be parents, and it had been an interesting journey to say the least, but you guys were doing good!

Your relatives and friends had just left, leaving you, Kazuma and your son.

It was pretty late so you started cleaning up in the kitchen and Numai started in the living room.

Kazuya had been pretty fussy, you both figuring he was tired, but when you tried to put him to sleep he wouldn’t even close his eyes.

So, deciding it’d be best to get it out of the way Numai held Kazuya as he was cleaning.

Things had been going just fine before Kazuya had reached out to grab at something on a nearby book shelf, causing the book shelf to start tipping over.

At that moment the only thing going through Numai’s mind was ‘stop the book shelf’, because at the moment, getting his son and him crushed by a bookshelf seemed like a very bad thing.

But what he hadn’t thought of was the fact that reflexively he had used both of his arms to stop said shelf (which didn’t even fall), the same two arms that had been holding his- “WAAAHH”

His eyes snapped down to the BABY he had just let go of, now crying on the floor.

You rushed into the living room, seeing your husband now cradling your still crying son, whispering apologies into his hair as he kissed the top of his head.

“Kazuma what happened?” 

He avoided eye contact. 

“...Kazuma...” Looking down he spoke.

“...I dropped him...”

...

“...you what?”

Ares barely managed an "oh hey" between the thick, untinterrupted sugar and brumstone drawl of Mike's voice before it was already decided he was gonna go out. "Yeah, that sounds pretty good actually." Ares agreed, the grin finally catching up, spreading on his face. Nicki was out. It was just him here. He didn't protest being hauled up, even though the dip in Mike's voice left Ares gut clenching so tight he could feel it all the way up in his throat, even when he finally stood on firm ground.

Wrapping one arm around Mike to support himself, leaning his weight on him without even asking. "Coat's probably good. Luc left his jacket here. That's pretty much a coat, honestly." The raider chuckled, thinking that it didn't quite hurt as much anymore, and that was a good sign, right? He was getting better, he thought, even if Renee still didn't want to send him back home.

"Oh, by the way." Ares stretched to grab the jacket off the chair in order to shrug it over. "The shirt you gave me. It was kinda bloody so I wasn't sure if you wanted it back, but you probably don't have a lot of stuff yet. Luc washed it. We can go pick it up" Ares had wanted to wear it, the scent of it strangely calming, but it wasn't clean enough anymore. "It's near the community center. It's a bit of a walk." Ares blinked up at him, still smiling. "Is that okay?"

with @aresmelaina | at the clinic

"You feel like stretching them legs there a minute, Daisy?"

Mike appeared at Ares' bedside, looking him over as he rubbed his fingers over his chin. "I tole Dr. Blondie I'd support you mostly, so all's you'd be getting is some fresh air and reminding your muscles what they're there for, and I'd git you right on back afore anything untoward happens." He lifted his eyebrows slightly, a somewhat lascivious enjoyment in his voice when he intoned, "...more untoward than what them Daybreakers done to you, anyhow."

He was laying his Appalachian on thick, but Mike had noticed that Ares seemed to respond to it, all the coal mine and holler thickening out his words. Reaching down, he didn't give Ares much of a choice, hauling him up. "You want you a coat, or jes a robe? Think hard on the answer now, baby. You gotta prove you ain't about to worsen your health none."

One Locker Down

Kenickie Murdoch x Reader

//Grease popped up in my playlist yesterday and my childhood crush reignited itself

Senior year was going okay. Your grades were stellar, your standing in debate club was unchallenged and your personal best was improving every time you swam. But you were missing one pivotal thing to be considered the ‘complete senior.’ A relationship. You became embarrassed simply at the thought. You were cute and nice, just a bit awkward. Your social skills couldn’t hold a candle to those of Patty Simcox or the Pink Ladies. You usually preferred to keep to yourself but as senior year drew closer, you longed for more than what you had. On the first day of school you considered your options as you walked.

Are there even any options? Can you think of one person outside of your activities that even knows your name?

You were a bit discouraged walking into school as you found your way towards your locker. With your mind lost in thought, you had no time to react before bumping into none other than Kenickie Murdoch. He turned towards you directly, mouth open to begin sending a barrage of insults your way before he saw you. His mouth hung open a moment and then shut quickly. You stood there like a deer in the headlights, still waiting for the attack that was never to come. Kenickie bent down and picked up your books as you brought yourself out of your state of shock.

“I am so sorry!” You said bending down to help him, only to bonk heads with him instead. Kenickie rubbed his head and pulled off his sunglasses.

“Jesus, babe! Are you trying to send me to the hospital?”

You felt yourself blushing at what he called you and you quickly shook your head ‘no.’ Kenickie handed you your books and you went around to the locker right next to his. 

“What’s your name?” Kenickie asked suddenly. 

You stuttered out your name and he grinned at you.

“I like it,” he said smoothly. He looked like he had more to say until someone down the hall shouted for him. He gave you a wink and strolled down the hallway. You felt your heart beat wildly in your chest until you realized what had happened.

Ohhhh no. Not him. Not Kenickie. He’s a playboy, a greaser, not to mention he’s trouble incarnate. 

But it was too late. You had it bad.

--

You didn’t see Kenickie until a week later. You were at your locker packing up for the day and when you closed the door, he was leaning against his locker. You stifled a scream and put a hand to your chest. Kenickie smirked at you.

“What’s the matter? Did I scare you?” he asked, pushing himself off the wall to face you.

“Just surprised me is all,” you tried to answer confidently, but it came out very unsure. Kenickie backed you into your locker and put his left hand next to your head, blocking you in on one side. You bit your bottom lip and stared up at him.

“How is it that I never noticed you before?” Kenickie eyed you up and down. “You’re hot stuff.” You thought you might die right then and there.

Kenickie thinks I’m hot? Is he feeling alright?

“Thank you,” you said shyly, keenly aware of how close he was to you and only wanting him to get closer. 

Suddenly Kenickie moved away from the lockers and started walking away, calling back to you, “See you around gorgeous!”

You resisted the urge to dance your soul right out of your body and you headed the opposite way.

--

Kenickie’s POV:

“Kenickie who is that?” Sonny gestured to (Y/N) standing at their locker.

“Yeah, we’ve seen you talkin’ to em a whole bunch lately,” Putzie added.

Kenickie rolled his eyes and looked at the other T-Birds. 

“What are you knuckleheads doing spying on me, huh?” He started to comb his hair, slick with grease, back.

“We just wanted to know what the plan was, boss,” Doody piped up. Kenickie looked at him confused.

“Plan?”

“With the nerd! We were thinking you could leave em a note inviting them on a date, tell em to wear something real flashy, and then they show up and you ain’t there!” Doody exclaimed. At this, the T-Birds erupted into laughter, hooting and howling like animals. Kenickie shut them up with a quick smack to the back of their heads.

“Enough clownin’,” he said, putting an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

“Come on Nickie, it’ll be funny!” Sonny begged.

Kenickie thought about it for a moment or two before saying, “Gimme some paper.”

--

Your POV:

You stood at your locker, feeling flustered. You had found a note from Kenickie. You read it over again just to be sure. It said:

“Dollface, you’re lookin’ extra good today. I was thinking maybe you and me could meet up tonight. Wear something to show off your assets. See you at Frosty Palace, seven o’clock. -KM”

You didn’t know what to think. Sure Kenickie had been nice to you lately, but the T-Birds were known for pulling stunts to hurt people’s feelings. You thought about what you wanted to do the rest of the school day, through swim practice and on your walk home from school. 

Kenickie is probably just doing it to be mean. But he did say all those nice things to me… Then again it might’ve been a trick to ensure I’d come. But why go through all the effort just to stand me up? To make me look silly? 

You walked into your house, waving to your mother as you went upstairs. You laid on your bed and yelled frustrated, into your pillow. You stayed there for a few moments before you heard your door creak open. You sat up as you mother walked in and sat on your bed.

“What’s going on?” Your mother asked, running her hand through your hair.

“I like this boy, and he asked me out tonight but I don’t know if he’s just going to ditch me,” you sighed. Your mother looked thoughtfully for a moment as you waited patiently for her sage wisdom.

“I think you should go. What does it matter if he stands you up? Go because you want to. If he’s there, great and if not, you can find someone else to spend time with. You are a beautiful, smart and kind person. You can get anyone you want so show that boy that you don’t need him, but you’re willing to give him a chance.” 

You smiled and nodded at your mother and she helped you pick out a cute, but fairly modest, outfit for tonight. Then she helped you do your hair and by the time you were done, you looked great.

Kenickie, I hope you’re gonna be there. Cause I am gonna knock your socks off.

--

At six fifty your mother dropped you off just down the street from the Frosty Palace. You thanked her for everything and started walking. You hoped against hope that this wasn’t a trick. Your mother’s words had touched you, but you knew what you wanted, and you wanted him.

As you approached Frosty’s you scanned the parking lot, but saw no sign of him and your heart dropped into your stomach. You crossed the street and looked inside, but you still didn’t see him. You rounded the corner, intent on sitting on the bench so no one could see your tears, and there he was. Kenickie freaking Murdoch. He was leaning against the building, smoking a cigarette and as you walked up, he looked over at you.

“Whoa, look at you,” Kenickie smiled at you. “You look… amazing.”

You grinned at him and grabbed his hand, pulling him inside before he could even finish his cigarette. After a night of drinking milkshakes, eating burgers and playing songs on the jukebox, Kenickie drove you home. Once you got to your house, Kenickie parked and turned off the car.

“I had a lot of fun Nickie,” you said sweetly.

“Yeah, me too,” he said scooting closer towards you.

You leaned up and kissed his cheek. As you started to lean away, Kenickie caught your chin with his hand and kissed you hard on the lips. You kissed him back with intensity and wrapped your arms around his neck. His hands grabbed your waist, sliding them under your shirt and rubbing small circles into your skin. You squeaked in surprise and Kenickie took the opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth. You were enjoying the moment so much you could barely tear yourself away from him when he tried to lay you down.

“Kenickie,” you mumbled as he kissed your neck.

“Mhm?”

“I don’t think I’m ready for that yet,” you said gently as you pushed yourself back a bit. Kenickie begrudgingly pulled away, giving you one last kiss.

“Whenever you’re ready babe, I’ll be here,” he said, winking at you. You giggled and hugged him. He held you close, his hand running through a section of your hair. 

“See you next Friday?” You asked.

“You know it,” Kenickie smirked as you got out of the car. You waved goodbye to him and watched him speed down the road.

Oh yeah. I got it bad.

Part Two

FATWS One Shot #6 - No One Said Anything About a Metal Arm

Word Count: 2011

Warnings: Explosions, Gunshots, The Winter Soldier, Implied Death, Stevie Almost Crying

Setting/Characters: Towards the End of Captain America: The Winter Soldier; Reader, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Natasha Romanoff, Maria Hill, Nick Fury, Bucky Barnes; Mentions of Alexander Pierce, Arnim Zola

A/N: This one took me a while to write and I’ll tell you why. Rewatching this movie made me want to do a complete rewrite of it. I had so many ideas of where the reader could be and why and what she was doing then and all that. But…I told myself this is a One Shot of her unofficially meeting Bucky for the first time. Which is why it seems incomplete - because it kinda is - it’s just that scene picked from the movie. Am I happy with it? Eh. Am I holding back from writing more parts and just saying “forget this piece, it never happened”? Maybe. But, I can’t. I wish I could. But if I were to rewrite this movie, I’d rewrite the next one. And the next one. And it would take me months to finish these. So…this is what you’re getting.

Also, NO ONE MENTION WHAT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN A COUPLE HOURS! I’M THIS CLOSE TO FREAKING OUT!

Thanks! As always, it’s not beta’d, so please excuse mistakes! Enjoy reading, be kind to yourselves and others, and stay tuned!

********

Sitting on the edge of the old dam was calming. Peaceful, even. The constant sound of the flowing water, the trees swaying in the slight breeze. It was nice to take a breath after everything that had gone down the past week.

To say you were worried was an understatement. The last time you saw Steve was the evening after you met Sam. He dropped you off at your place, refusing your invitation to stay saying that he should probably check on his apartment since he hadn’t been there in a while.

A lot had changed since then.

Steve was wanted by SHIELD, along with Natasha. Fury was considered dead, but was actually still kicking in the structure beneath your feet with the help of you and Hill. You had tried to go after Steve, but it was too risky. Pierce - who you were almost 100% certain was behind this whole thing - had been keeping a close eye on you since Steve ran away, knowing you’d be behind him. You tried to catch the blonde at the hospital, but you were seconds too late, meeting up with Natasha who told you STRIKE already took him away for questioning.

You had been called by Hill and she told you what had happened. Fury had asked for your help specifically, considering the amount of times you’d had to fake your own death while being undercover. And you’d been dealing with that ever since.

You had wanted to go get the three of them - you learned Sam joined Steve and Natasha, which somehow didn’t surprise you - but Hill refused, saying you needed to stay there just in case.

But Fury was fine, no one was coming, which is how you found yourself swinging your legs above a hundred feet of rushing water.

It didn’t last long. A car pulling up to the side entrance caught your eye and you immediately swung your legs around to rush towards the stairs. It’s not like you haven’t gone longer without seeing Steve before. You’d gone months without seeing him. It was your job. But this was different. Whether it was because for the first time he was the one who left or because he was on the run from the organization you worked for, you didn’t know and didn’t care. All you knew was you needed to see him. Make sure he was okay.

It took you a while to get there, all the stairs and corners and twist and turns. You got there just as Fury ended his explanation, hearing him tell the trio, “can’t kill you if you’re already dead. Besides…I wasn’t sure who to trust.”

Your footsteps were echoing and you were sure Steve heard you but when you entered the room, his eyebrows shot up, his eyes widening. “Honey?”

“Oh thank fucking God.” You breathed out, jogging over to squeeze him tightly. 

“Y/N…” He murmured in your hair, hugging you tightly back. “What happened? Why are you here?”

Pulling back, you jerked your thumb over your shoulder to the director. “I’m saving his ass.” Your finger then jabbed into his firm chest, your lips falling into a frown. “And worrying about yours. Are you okay?”

“I am. Natasha got shot, but she’ll live.”

You looked over at Natasha, who nodded in confirmation, before looking back into those azure eyes of Steve’s. “What happened? Pierce is keeping a tight lid on everything. I was gonna come find you, but I couldn’t because he was watching me. It’s a miracle I got away from them to help Nicky boy. I haven’t gone out since. But, honest, I was gonna-”

“Honey, honey. You’re rambling again.” Steve chuckled, hand resting on the back of your head, fingers tangling in your hair. “It’s okay. I’m glad you’ve been safe here. Pierce is behind this whole thing-”

“Yeah, I figured that-”

“-It’s HYDRA, Y/N.”

You froze. “What? HYDRA? Whaddya mean?”

Steve nodded. “HYDRA’s what’s been infiltrating SHIELD. It’s a long story, but Zola continued it when he was hired for-”

“Operation Paperclip. Yeah, I remember learning about that.” You ran a hand over your face. “Okay…” You hummed, looking at the three of them. “Let’s…talk about it more in a little bit. I know we gotta act soon, but Natasha and Fury need to heal a little bit longer and you should get some rest. You look tired.”

Everyone seemed to agree with your statement, starting to disperse from the room. You started walking out, too, when Steve grabbed your bicep and pulled you aside, down the hall a ways away. You opened your mouth, only for him to pull you into his chest.

“I’m really glad you’re okay.”

You nodded, lightly scratching his back, your arms around his slim waist. “I’m glad you are too.” You could feel how tense he was, which was understandable considering what he’d gone through the past couple days. But there was something else. Something in the grip he had on your shirt. The way his heart was hammering against your chest. His erratic breathing and his ducked head. You pulled away to catch his jaw between your fingers, eyes scanning the anguish in his own. “Bubba? What’s wrong?”

It took a moment for him to answer, his eyes growing sadder with every second that passed. “It was Bucky.”

“What?” You felt like the air was knocked out of you. “What do you mean?”

“The Winter Soldier. The assassin who shot Fury. The one who tried killing us on the bridge. It was Bucky. It is Bucky. I saw him, Y/N. I saw his face. It’s him. He survived. When they experimented on him, it must’ve…God, I’m so…I didn’t even notice…I didn’t even check…I left him…” he shook his head, which fell to your shoulder. “Stupid. I’m so stupid.”

“No, no.” You shook your head quickly, fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck as you twisted to kiss the hinge of his tense jaw. “It wasn’t your fault, Steve.” You mumbled softly, lips brushing over the shell of his ear. “It wasn’t your fault. You couldn’t have known. He fell thousands of feet, Stevie. You wouldn’t have found him even if you did.”

HIs grip on your hips tightened. “But I didn’t even try.” His voice broke on that last word. “And how could I not notice something going on with him? There were two years between being experimented on and falling. How-?” Voice catching in his throat, he stopped talking to stop himself from crying. You knew he hated crying.

“You can’t do anything about past Bucky.” You reminded him gently. “But you can help him now.”

“He didn’t even remember me.”

“Then make him.”

********************

To say you were pissed was an understatement. “I’ve been doing undercover stuff for years! This is a piece of cake!”

Steve shook his head. “You’ll be more helpful with Hill. You know more about Project Insight than me, Sam, and Natasha.”

“Bullshit, Steven! You just don’t want-”

“Honey, please.”

You clenched your jaw, glaring at him as he gave you those fucking puppy eyes, his dumb pink lips stuck in a pout. Letting out a rather aggressive puff of air, you looked away. “Fine. But I hate you.”

He beamed and nodded. “I can live with that.”

“Okay.” You glanced at the others. “You all ready?”

“Let’s get these sons of bitches.” Sam stated, making the final adjustments to the wings.

Natasha gave a smirk. “As long as you are.”

Turning back to Steve, you raised an eyebrow, waiting for the captain’s orders. He nodded. “Let’s head out.”

****************

“There’s a problem on the flight deck.” Hill informed you, looking at the alert. 

“Alright. I’ll-”

“Stay with Hill!”

You rolled your eyes at Steve’s voice through the comms. “Sorry, Cap. You’re breaking up.”

“I know I’m not, Y/N! I’m serious! Stay there!”

But you were already moving towards the flight deck. “I’m not gonna sit on my ass here, Rogers! Hill’s got it covered! I’m just gonna go check it out!”

“Honey-!”

“Bubba!”

The line went quiet and for a moment you thought you lost connection. “Please stay safe.”

You let out a sigh at his quiet pleads, nodding even though he couldn’t see you. “That goes for you, too, Steve.”

By the time you got out there, most of the jets were in flames, pilots and crew members scattered around the deck. You scanned the wreckage, trying to find the source-

A gunshot made your head whip to the side. Found it. Or, more accurately, him.

He was standing on top of one of the jets, gun pointed down at the pilot that was sitting in it. Before he could slip in the cockpit, though, you took out your gun and fired at him. Even though you knew who he was, when he looked at you it made your blood run cold. It was confirmation - not that you didn’t trust Steve - but still. Seeing is believing. yet seeing the same eyes you’d seen sparkling up at you from pictures now staring you down, void of any emotion? It was hard to believe it was the same person.

“Oh shit. Bubs?”

“What?! What’s wrong?! Are you okay?!”

You took a couple steps back as the Winter Soldier, no. Bucky - Steve’s Bucky - strode towards you. “Uh…nothing, nothing. I just I, uh, found your Bucky.”

“Y/N, get outta there now! I told you to stay with Hill!”

“Fuck!” You dove out of the way as the assassin started shooting at you. “Now’s not the time for reprimanding, Steven!”

You tuned out his cursings so as to not get distracted when you became engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with the fucking Winter Soldier.

“Hi.” You grunted, ducking under his arm and throwing a kick at him, faking it at the last second. Except, he’d already grabbed your ankle. But you did kick him with your other foot. But…he didn’t really move and it made you fall back, so…fail. You let out a grimace when the wind was knocked out of you, but you couldn’t lay there for long as he moved to slam his foot down. You rolled out of the way, swinging your legs up to hit him in the back of the knee. “Nice to finally meet you.”

He growled as Sam exclaimed, “are you seriously chatting with him?”

“It’s mostly one sided - dammit!” The both of you had gotten on your feet again, and you tried hooking your left knee around his left shoulder to tug him down, but he had slammed you against a jet, your leg stretched in a very uncomfortable position as your free foot stood on your toes. He had his metal arm - which no one had informed you about and you were kinda salty about it - against your throat, his other hand coming up in a fist.

Bouncing on your toes a bit, you finally lifted your free leg up to knee him in the side of his face, making you wince slightly at the stretch and the burn in your left thigh, which was the only thing besides his metallic limb holding you up against the jet.

He stumbled to the side, throwing you by the leg on his shoulder. You went sprawling against the pavement, a hiss leaving your lips at the serious roadburn you no doubt just got. Sitting up quickly, not wanting him to get the upper hand, you let out a breath seeing him swiftly moving into the cockpit of the jet he just had you pinned against.

“Guys…he’s…heading your way…just a…heads up. Also…thank you. It was nice…to fucking know…about the metal arm…beforehand. I’m just gonna…rest here for a minute…”

“You’re not hurt too bad, are you?”

“No, Cap. No, just…gonna be aching for a while. Ugh…” Begrudgingly, you got up to your feet. “I think I’m gonna…go back and chill with Maria.”

“Told you so.”

“Shut up, finish your job, and don’t die, Rogers! And next time, please, for the love of God, mention the metal arm!”
